Mm hmm. December is upon us. Oh great, that was fast and

damn it, I get to be
Dave Coolier and do that was coming?

5
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.159

14
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:14.319
People wouldn't expect it. It's a
good point. Didn't they go back

15
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.079

00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.480

I Betty carolels here, Hello, how

24
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:53.159
are you doing doing? All right? You're like hot off a plane?

25
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.640
I am super hot off a plane. Left that you left that seat burning.

26
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.200
That's true, and you should not
that that plane is being decommissioned.

27
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:06.239
It is not my fault. Now, is the burning anything to do with

28
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:08.159
the airplane boogers you were talking about
earlier? No, those came. Those

29
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.479
are my own. That's my own
house. You know. It's like that

30
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:15.800
dry air and you're just like just
crunchy in the nose for like weeks afterwards.

31
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:21.280
You can't I That's what I'm saying. They charge you twenty five dollars

32
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.360
per plane, bogger. Now,
the charge of everything, and sometimes it's

33
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:34.319
just like Slane got check you next
seat for your plane buggers. Yeah,

34
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:38.280
I made I went to the airport
an hour and a half early. You

35
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:39.120
got there an hour and a half
our. Yeah, okay, all right,

36
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:44.080
that's half an hour earlier. Wow, I'm back up. I'm writting

37
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.520
this down for my back this up
a second. How did some of that

38
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:51.560
hot New York efficiency right there?
Jersey? Oh okay, yeah, so

39
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.199
I just sorry new York, New
Jersey. I just say New York when

40
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:57.159
I mean New Jersey, just like
everyone else who said that, I live

41
00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.400
in New York. Yeah, because
that's a kind of a little west,

42
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:05.280
that's a north Joys. I'm sorry
what you say, northern New Jersey.

43
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:08.000
It is, but I was in
Newark and it was just I think it

44
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:10.919
must have just been that Thanksgiving the
traffic, and it can't get rid of

45
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:15.639
that accent. It's New York for
any I'm sorry, what New York,

46
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:20.080
Neuvo York, not in New York
whatever you said? Oh yeah, yeah,

47
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.039
new work. Well you let you
left today. I left yesterday.

48
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:28.639
And so there's two air I got
here before you. That's where Chicago at

49
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:30.280
the other is not a major hub
anymore. No, No, everyone just

50
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.599
did, uh Midway. The other
airport's not the one I went out of

51
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.000
I went out of my hair.
But at one point the security line was

52
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:42.759
measured at a mile long. That's
crazy. So my biggest problem was not

53
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.840
necessarily missing my flight. It was
the minutes up to missing my flight on

54
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.159
the security line, and there was
just like you didn't ask to go,

55
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.919
like skipp I did, Oh,
I asked, and they did what I

56
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:55.840
guess because it's the holiday, They're
like, hey, buddy, and also's

57
00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:00.199
New Jersey, so that's just kind
of but there was like just this oh

58
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.800
everybody was in front of me.
That was the slowest person, and there

59
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:09.199
was this little old lady in front
of me who just just had a shuffle

60
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.439
going right, and I literally she
was right in front of me, and

61
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.240
she was my She was in front
of me, and the scanner was in

62
00:04:15.279 --> 00:04:18.680
front of her, and she's pushing
her bags along the thing, the conveyor

63
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:23.959
belt and then just doing this tiny
little shuffle. And I literally got up

64
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:29.399
behind her and just started pushing the
back, like just kind of like pushing

65
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.199
her in the back because you know, I gotta go, yep, And

66
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:35.600
then I ran to my gate and
uh, totally miss I've never missed.

67
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:39.600
The flight was the flight already gone
or were you getting there and you hit

68
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:43.199
the cut off? I hit it
was It was weird. I've never experienced

69
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.959
this before. The flight left at
seven thirty in the morning, boarding started

70
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:51.439
at six forty five and ended at
seven fifteen. So I made it there

71
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:56.199
at like seven twenty eight and the
plane was gone. So the worst I've

72
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.160
had one where I showed up planes
right there. Oh they wouldn't let you

73
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.680
on the fuckers let me out,
Like, nope, close the door.

74
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:05.199
Yeah you see your kids on it, It doesn't matter. I think it's

75
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:09.360
a regulations. I don't think they
can open the door. Can they fly

76
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:13.000
away with your kids? In that? Kidnapping? Think about that, man,

77
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.839
that really makes you think, Oh, you're saying if you have a

78
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:17.560
kid on there, like, oh
my god, my kids. My kid

79
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:20.720
is on there. My baby's on
that plane. Yeah, how the hell

80
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.759
did your kid get on the plane
without you there to help you. I'm

81
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:27.319
not saying I'm inherent with the kids
on the plane. My kid was like

82
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.680
I'm leaving on time. That's a
really good one. It was not a

83
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.800
really good one. Uh So yeah, I didn't I didn't enjoy that.

84
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.279
I'm sorry. Yeah, but you're
here now, I am. I made

85
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:41.680
it. We're We're happy to have
all of you guys here for a gallon

86
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.720
week of Game of the year of
production work, I guess is what we

87
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.399
would call it. Yep, flying
him out. He's shooting. We brought

88
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:51.839
him on. Oh wow. Yeah, last time I was here, we

89
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:58.600
all would watchdogs that came out right? Uh man? Was that this year?

90
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.000
Yes? Yes, it was.
Would you guys been up to Did

91
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:05.480
you work here in calendar fourteen?
Yeah? I like almost half of it.

92
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:10.680
I know you did those somewhat rhetorical, but it feels like a lifetime

93
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.639
ago. That's been a long year, long summer. It's a lot of

94
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.959
stuff going on this year. But
yeah, we're gonna I don't know how

95
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.720
the sound quality isn't here. We're
just in the giant open studio. But

96
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:26.720
that's great. We're gonna be sitting
back down here two days hence to argue

97
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.959
four hours and hours about the best
games of the year and some of the

98
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:31.639
worst too. Yes, also that
I'm only arguing but for the worst.

99
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:33.639
Okay, I mean I would You
wouldn't have flown me out here if we

100
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:38.439
weren't talking about terrible stuff. Sopose
that's true. But yeah, this is

101
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:41.240
a good dry run to see how
this thing turns out. Yeah, for

102
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.319
many, many hours of podcasting to
come. Who had a good Thanksgiving?

103
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.959
Me? Yeah? I want absolutely
nothing. Yeah that's a good Thanksgiving.

104
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:51.639
There's too many people here to go
around the horn. I just I want

105
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:56.199
to hear one Thanksgiving story. It's
got a good one. I feel like

106
00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:00.360
there's probably someone that has the best
stories based on some what did ever buddy?

107
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.279
Just look at Damn? I just
sat around though. Some all had

108
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.920
to watch a video of him throwing
up. This the first thing I saw

109
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:10.160
when I walked in. I got
an egg sandwich, and the halfway through

110
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.399
he's like, oh, check this
part. This is the part where Danny

111
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.839
where Danny Dyer throws up everywhere.
Danny puke before me. So I won

112
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.680
that competition. This is this is
so I saw. That is still only

113
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.879
the second most gross thing I've seen
today. What's number one? I don't

114
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:28.399
know. There's a photo on the
internet of a guy who put his my

115
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:32.480
little Pony doll in a jar of
his own semen and left it there for

116
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:39.360
a long time and it melted.
The doll kind of melted over time.

117
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:46.560
That was your thanks Dan similar that
just went I went cosmic bowling. Wait,

118
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:47.879
so were you? Were you in
Kansas for things? Yeah? And

119
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.800
Daniel Dwyer went down to Kansas with
the cultural exchange. That's crazy. I'm

120
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:55.279
going to Ireland next, are you
really? Yeah? For Thanksgiving? Me

121
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.279
and I think my dad's going.
I was just about asking, Yeah,

122
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.360
after this trip we all three side
of than my dad's probably go to Ireland.

123
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:03.240
It does too, So your dad's
took as like a shine to younger

124
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.639
Dwyer. Yeah. And Dwyer says
that Kansons drink harder than Irish people.

125
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:09.800
Wow, he said he could not
keep up with us. Is your dad

126
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.879
of a passport? Uh? Probably
not. He could probably get one.

127
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.399
He works to the post office.
Don't they give you a pass I wasn't

128
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:22.319
insinuating he couldn't get one yet.
I don't know either way. I can

129
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.800
see your dad just being like,
I'm only I will only travel to the

130
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.120
drinking countries. He's somehow on a
no fly list. Somehow they've seen too

131
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:33.759
many of Dan's videos. Let's keep
it there. He hates going beyond like

132
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.279
ten minutes outside of Shawnee, Kansas. So the idea of him in Ireland

133
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.919
just sounds amazing me. So,
yeah, it should be. That's three

134
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.120
Drew, I heard you talking about
pop maybe Yeah, I don't know.

135
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:45.440
I wasn't want to go to Ireland. I figure that's the way to do

136
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:46.879
it. Yep, yep, but
yeah, yeah, we had a great

137
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.600
time, cool, excellent. Are
we gonna be hearing from from Danny?

138
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.759
We were? We're gonna get his
version of events. Oh yeah, we

139
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.399
have the same versions. He has
stories that I was not mentally present for

140
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.840
so bodily, for up spros and
for mentally more h yeah. Yeah.

141
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.360
So we recorded some stuff while we're
out there, some drunken taxi rides and

142
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.480
him and my dad talking like Irish
history. Uh yeah, so that'll be

143
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.960
going up probably ten a week or
so. He's cutting it now. Goodness.

144
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:15.320
Will that be a premium Jim bomb. Yeah, it'll be a one

145
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.639
off premium thing. We'll put it
on giant bomb dot com. Doesn't sound

146
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.480
like premium content. I certainly did
he say your house? Uh yeah,

147
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:24.240
my mom's and my dad. We
went back and forth. My dad's washed

148
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.440
filled house where we slept on couches
in the floor, and then my mom's

149
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.759
very nice houseps. Yeah, yeah, two very different places. So wait,

150
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.480
we're not talking about white Anglo Saxon
Protestants, right, We're talking at

151
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.039
wasps. Okay, okay, don't
hang on. Why why is this house

152
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:43.840
infested by wasps? This time he
goes out to smoke a lot, like

153
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:46.399
he smokes like chance, smokes throughout
the day and just sits on the porch,

154
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.600
plays World Words with friends and smokes, and I guess washed like made

155
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:52.080
a nest right near the door.
So every time he goes up to smoke,

156
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:56.360
I think more washed came in.
They're like, there's just watched corpses

157
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.639
and washed. It's probably over.
It's probably sagerating a little bit. It's

158
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:03.320
not just we're in singing us in
our sleep. It's just too many wasps

159
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:05.759
to be inside a house. Did
get Did you get stung? I feel

160
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:07.840
like it one is too many wash
to be inside the house. So I've

161
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.200
never been stung by being, never
been stung by wash, warn anything,

162
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.679
don't Yeah, I don't recommend it. Is it worse than like I always

163
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.320
assumed it was like a shringe,
like getting a shot. So I'm kind

164
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:20.279
of allergic, not like deathly allergic, but kind of I got stung by

165
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.679
a wasp the size of my shoulder
when I landed on it was Why is

166
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.519
there a wasp the size of your
should I was in Virginia, okay,

167
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.360
and the growing big down there.
Sure there wasn't just a guy with a

168
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.519
hypodermic me. It was a giant, giant freaking washp landed on my shoulder.

169
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:37.679
That's how they get you hooked on
drugs. Yeah, they stab you

170
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:39.480
with heroin. Hey, you want
to buy some more of this? Yes,

171
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:43.080
it was big, and it's the
entire this entire section of my shoulder

172
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:48.080
just swoll up and I couldn't move
my arm for like a day. It

173
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.919
hurts so goddamn bad. So don't
do that. I got stung in the

174
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.759
hand, Yeah it was pleasant.
It stings like a needle does not,

175
00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:58.679
Okay, like it lasts for a
while after. Oh yeah, there's like

176
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:01.480
venom in that ship. Yellow jacket
a wasp. I think it's a kind

177
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:07.399
of wasp. Yellow jacket is yellow
sick? Is it different? Yeah?

178
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:09.679
And the hornet is not a wasp. Hornet is also different. They're they're

179
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:15.240
different. I don't think they're Washenus
species. May Kingdom file them which one

180
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.600
can fill up. Which ones die
when they sting you? Most of them

181
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:22.440
anything that will not They all they
all come from the genus of stingy assholes.

182
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.840
Yeah, so who made it's like
a double like it works? Oh,

183
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:28.720
you were sitting in my hot seat
on the plane. I hadn't taken

184
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:33.840
a shower in a lot anyway.
Fuck wasps? Yes? Is that is

185
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.679
that a position that everyone here can
get behind? I think so absolutely.

186
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:39.919
If you've been stung by one.
The only consolation when when something when something

187
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:45.039
stings you, is that you know
died in the process. So sometimes,

188
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:48.120
don't I think wasps they can pull
out most a lot of them die,

189
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.240
a lot of them use the rhythms. They're highly they're highly evolved for that

190
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.559
way. You ever had you ever
had a wasp get inside your shirt?

191
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:00.960
Oh? No, I have got
my brother's pain. So that's where the

192
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:05.279
wasp mechanism of multiple stings comes in
really handy for the wasp when it's in

193
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.240
an enclosed space on your body and
it could just go to town. Yep,

194
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:13.039
you can just sting until it's done. It's a lot of fun.

195
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.960
So when Danny was staying over,
he was seeing an early riser like when

196
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.000
I always hate staying over somebody's hass
top of the morning. You're going with

197
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:24.320
this racist fucking just downstairs and top
hatch, just like cooking. I was

198
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:28.240
looking for the rainbow, you know, like I hate staying over somebody's house

199
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:33.840
and you're the first one up and
then you just kind of like anything without

200
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.919
them, Yeah, just hang out
in the bathroom for a while. I

201
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:41.039
don't know. No, it was. It was absolute chaos as far as

202
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.440
the sleeping stuff goes. Would be
up in like Thanksgiving night, we were

203
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:48.080
up till five in the morning.
Uh. He can tell you that he

204
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.480
woke up one morning on my dad's
floor to my dad watching Space porn,

205
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.320
Space, porn, porn setting space. That's kind He woke up and had

206
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.759
no idea what the hell like zero
G then what's going on? Like early

207
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.879
morning Space? I saw a little
bit. I think it was just some

208
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:07.600
folks on a spaceship having a good
time. And that's so softcore. I

209
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:09.960
think my dad was doing it like
as a prank or a funny thing,

210
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:15.879
and Danny will Cups like playing.
Yeah, but no, it was chaos.

211
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:18.320
Would sleep like five hours during the
day. We were up all night

212
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:20.960
most nights. Uh. Yeah,
we were just incredibly hung over the entire

213
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:24.120
time, so late rising most of
the time. So you went out like

214
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:28.279
Black Friday shopping and stuff. I
took him to Walmart, YEP, I

215
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:33.279
took him to Walmart and to Target. He bought an America jacket at Walmart.

216
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:37.399
How was it described? Described the
scene? Well, okay, did

217
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:39.600
you trample anyone? Yeah? No, it was stupid this year. So

218
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:41.000
Walmart did a thing where it's like
we stupid. I didn't get to trample

219
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:46.600
anybody. I just walked right into
something on the she paid for the hell

220
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:48.720
pointless. No, they would have
like at seven o'clock, here's Black Friday

221
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.039
at number one. At nine o'clock, here's another one, and like they

222
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:54.759
all had different deals and stuff,
which I guess is to kind of dilute

223
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:58.240
the crowd flow or whatever. So
yeah, it actually it was like more

224
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:00.720
dead than the usual day at Walmart. But I just wanted to show him

225
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.480
how great of an experienced Walmart is. Yeah, and he's never been He've

226
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.320
never been to a Walmart. And
like they're on like every damn corner in

227
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.919
Kansas, and it's just that's where
everyone goes to get anything. A lot

228
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.679
of space done out there. Yeah, for Walmarts. He was shocked at

229
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.399
the size of it. When me
and my sister were saying, like,

230
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:18.720
okay, we'll split up and then
we'll text each other to find each other

231
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:20.759
when we get back, He's like, like, how big is this place?

232
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:22.480
Yeah? Yeah, but no,
I had a good time. He

233
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:26.679
didn't know who Larry the cable guy
was. When they saw the cable guy

234
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:28.840
merchandise at Walmart. He was like, who is this guy? And I

235
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.919
had wait, Larry cable guy merchandise
of Walmart. They like, who could

236
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.799
have? Possibly? Guess like merchandise. They had boxer shorts. They had

237
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.440
a gummy but no they Duck Dynasty
gummy bears, got gummy ducks, be

238
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:43.600
ducks. They had a lot of
John's. No, John c has got

239
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.840
the exclusive Kmart thing. That's right, of course. Yeah, which Camart

240
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.559
is like trashy Walmart yep, I
don't know if you guys have Camart.

241
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:52.879
Yeah that sounds ridiculous, but it's
actually true. Yeah, Like I don't

242
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.919
like Kmart. I think Kmart was
before Walmart. It was it was,

243
00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:01.039
Yeah, yeah, Walmart some respect. Mart's falling on some hard time because

244
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:05.159
of the companies like Walmart, driving
these mom and pop business like missus k

245
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.720
what you hear about it came in
Ford to pay rosy o'donald to show their

246
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.120
stuff anymore. I started getting weird
about when stores started carrying food, and

247
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:18.120
like I've gone into them once or
twice in my life. A they are

248
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.519
the most brightly lit stores from the
planet. I mean they have like they're

249
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.840
like supermarket and dentists and like you
know, they have optometrists and it's like

250
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.720
anything that you could live in there. And there was no ways McDonald like

251
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.519
inside the water, like literal subways
to get you from one went. So

252
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:35.120
my grandparents moved to Oregon. When
I got into junior high and I went

253
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:37.360
up there and and Klamath Falls,
there was a store called fred Meyer.

254
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.399
Oh yeah yeah, and that was
it was the first time I've never seen

255
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:43.879
one sense. I mean, I
don't know if it's the same thing as

256
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.360
Meyer, is fred Meyer the same
as thing as Meyer? Is that different?

257
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:48.399
I don't know. I think maybe
they're different. It's also like a

258
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:50.679
regional. Yeah, so I went, I went into a fred Meyer and

259
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:54.279
it was like that where it was
like it was the size of the fucking

260
00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:58.240
nine football fields and it was this
huge store full of all the dumb electronics

261
00:15:58.240 --> 00:15:58.559
and all this other stuff, and
I was like, wow, this is

262
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:03.200
amazing. I can get this Anthrax
album, which I literally bought an Anthrax

263
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:06.200
out in there. And also then
they had a supermarket section. It was

264
00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:08.039
just like this into the store's crazy
and I just thought I would never trust

265
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:11.240
the food from that place. And
that's when when when I saw a Walmart

266
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:14.759
for the first time and it had
food, I was like, that can't

267
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.200
be good. It's a Walmart supercenter
or a super Target. They have the

268
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.480
grocery store attached most targets well,
so they recently opened it a Target and

269
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.960
Pedaluma and we're very happy with it
except for the traffic. And it has

270
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:29.559
food, but they don't call it
a super Target. It's just it's just

271
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:33.799
it's just a play food pantry stuff
or they they got a frozen section and

272
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.600
frous and style like it's it's you
know, you know, I would still

273
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:37.559
probably rather go to a Safeway or
something like that, but you know,

274
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:41.120
you could still can do it.
I have I have a city Target five

275
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:45.480
minutes for me. Now City,
I don't know it's Target, It's Target

276
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:51.480
I guess it's probably smaller. They
don't have case adas because they don't have

277
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:55.039
the machine. Is it underneath that
Best buy it? Sext to it.

278
00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.279
There's one there. Yeah, there's
a there's a target in Queens, but

279
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:02.000
it's in a mall. It's the
only target I've ever seen that was like

280
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:03.200
in a showing. They put one
in the metro on here too, and

281
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:06.799
they don't call it a city target
though. They just call it a target

282
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:10.720
the one night I go to Anyone. Oregon also has a store called Big

283
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:15.920
r which is basically Walmart but for
farmers, just for like it's you walk

284
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:21.640
in there, it's just like saddles
and the ten gallon hats and shotguns and

285
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:23.559
feed yet awesome. Yeah I try. I tried to go buy like like

286
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:27.119
I want to skipped bow and arrow
bolts, like yeah, like farmers,

287
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:37.359
Yeah you know farm tarannosaurs or whatever
the farmer that's like, Yeah, I

288
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:42.400
bought one of those like uh,
black and red flannel hats with the ear

289
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:48.920
covering las. Yeah great. They
recommended Welcome to the giant big box cast.

290
00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:52.240
I didn't buy shot guns. I
didn't buy anything. I bought it.

291
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:55.279
I bought a we you for a
controller for ten bucks off. That

292
00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:59.359
was my Black Friday story. Got
a blue Duel Shock four for twenty bucks

293
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:03.640
off. How could you buy another
one of those in good conscience until they

294
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:08.279
put a better batteries I love.
I love the control or just the battery

295
00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:11.799
life. The batteries not my problem. I have the thing with the analog

296
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.480
stick where the rubber is running off, coming apart. Yeah, cheap ass

297
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:19.400
piece of shit I feel I had
never had. You should sit closer to

298
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:23.480
TV. That's my advice, an
option. I have one USB cable that

299
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:29.799
I'm using the charge the controller and
occasionally the that wireless headset, and it's

300
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:33.559
been fine. My Xbox one with
double A batteries, pretty good chargeable batteries

301
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:40.599
and had richargeable batteries like that's yeah, that was too whatever, it's fine.

302
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:42.480
Half think of the think of the
strain on your wrists. It's an

303
00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:45.359
Xbox. It's supposed to be heavy. That's fair. Everything is heavy.

304
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.480
That's why the Duke was the size
it was to eventually just have this scaling

305
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:52.480
down makes sense over time. I
tried to go out on Black Friday.

306
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:56.240
I tried to go out Thursday night. My girlfriend and I we woke up

307
00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:57.279
at ten forty five. We're like, Okay, we're gonna hit this mall.

308
00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:00.039
We're gonna get this mall at menu
and and make it happen. You

309
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.039
can't. Yeah, pm pem,
We're gonna get to this malle for the

310
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:07.880
for the midnight uh. And it
was so fucking foggy outside. We got

311
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:10.200
to the gas station and was like, all right, I don't want to

312
00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:11.920
drive half an hour of this mall. We're gonna end up dead. And

313
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:15.559
also I just don't care. So
yeah, we gave up. Didn't get

314
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:18.400
you the retail probably would exactly.
Yeah, No, were you going to

315
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:21.480
buy stuff or just to like witness? I mean, I had no,

316
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:23.400
I have no idea. I was
just I was along for the ride at

317
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:25.559
that point. I was like,
yeah, fuck it, I don't know,

318
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:26.359
let's go see what's going on.
So we didn't have like a TV

319
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:29.079
in mind. It's like, oh, that's five hundred dollars. No,

320
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:32.440
No, we didn't. We didn't
have vehicles that were like big enough for

321
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:33.599
the TVs that I want to get. And I am in the market for

322
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:37.079
a TV, but how big up
a TV I want to get? Like

323
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:41.240
at least sixty inches whoa, that's
I ended up getting sixty when I bought

324
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:44.880
one on Black Friday last year.
I just got it from online. It

325
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:48.759
beast By. Yeah. I had
only meant to get like fifty, like

326
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:49.559
I had a thirty seven, and
I was like, well, I should

327
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:55.440
at least go up a little bit
side it's been eight years since. And

328
00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:57.519
then you go online just the deals
are like i'd said, a budgets I'm

329
00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:02.960
gonna spend about and our bucks.
There's like seven fifties sixty inches Okay.

330
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:04.960
I didn't even I didn't even measure. I was like, I'll worry about

331
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:07.920
it once the TV show. Yeah. I spent like an hour trying to

332
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:11.640
convince my girlfriend. There was like
a Samsung like sixty inch smart TV.

333
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.079
There was like seven hundred bucks as
a Black Friday deal. I was like,

334
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:17.759
we do not need a new television, but we should totally get this

335
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:21.480
television, and she just she just
wouldn't budge. I didn't want to spend

336
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:23.880
seven hundred dollars of my own I
wanted it to be a there. There

337
00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:27.160
was like was a point where I
was looking on like Amazon or something in

338
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:30.519
like curved TVs were a reasonable price, and I was like that'd be a

339
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:33.839
really dumb fucking thing to buy.
That's buy curve TV because that sucks.

340
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:37.920
And I almost talked myself into it
with that exact logic. And I want

341
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:40.680
to know. This is crazy.
I forget how much it was, but

342
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:42.400
I didn't know this. We're out
yeah, out yeah yeah, but we're

343
00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:47.160
out there and get some four K
screens and will not watch anything in that

344
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:49.480
resolution. We should get a curve
TV. Let's see how it breaks.

345
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:53.440
Yeah, did it break? Throw
it like a boomerang. I'm confident that

346
00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:56.599
you could break curve TV. I
could break a non curve TV. I'm

347
00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:00.599
pretty sure of it. I think
I've done it, so I've heard I'll

348
00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:02.759
do it again. Okay, I'm
not gonna stop. I think there's video

349
00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:06.799
footage, all right, before we
get into the real business, Finny.

350
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:17.519
Yeah, we get a house update. Oh really on a daily basis.

351
00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:19.000
I'll just give you. I'll give
you the last twenty four hours, all

352
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:26.359
right, okay, okay, So
on Saturday, my wife and I moved

353
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:30.200
half of our storage. We have
two storage units, a big one and

354
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.480
small one. We'll call it pop
a storage unit and baby storage. And

355
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:37.079
we moved baby storage unit and a
little pop up store storage unit into the

356
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:41.519
house. Right, hired moves to
do. This is Saturday after Thanksgiving,

357
00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:48.119
and the plan was load everything up
into the house and then Sunday. I'm

358
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:51.640
basically I'm gonna stay the night and
I'm gonna I'm gonna jump on my plane

359
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:53.799
and I'm gonna go. And this
is the first this will be the first

360
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:56.079
night I stayed in. Now,
okay, the heat was on. Everything

361
00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:00.039
was on. Uh, my wife
and our two kids, we're gonna stay

362
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:03.480
at their mother in laws. Right, no stove, the kitchen's not done

363
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:07.200
yet, nothing nothing to cook on. So I'm there. I'm super stressed

364
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.759
out because like I was painting a
wall in the basement because the wall the

365
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:15.039
basement weeps water, which is a
great way to describe it, weeping walls,

366
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:21.359
so like water comes in. Like, are You'm sure the house isn't

367
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:23.559
haunted? No? Okay, no, are you sure? Are you sure

368
00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:30.000
you're not attending Hogwarts? No?
No, no, Jersey hard. So

369
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:36.279
like I'm downstairs the house sad.
Maybe it should be happy. Now it's

370
00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:40.279
gonna so like I'm painting and wall
with like that kind of could be bullshit

371
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:41.960
dry lock stuff that you know,
like this supposed a little lock and water.

372
00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:45.400
Anyway, I need to do it
before the washing and dryer get there

373
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:47.519
because then I can't get behind it. So I'm doing this corner on the

374
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:51.440
wall, and all of a sudden, I hear all right, back up

375
00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:52.920
about an hour or two before I
took a massive dump in the house.

376
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:56.759
Okay, that will fast forward back. Okay, So I hear this,

377
00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:59.240
Uh, everybody's going out of that
field, like you know, it was

378
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:03.680
the first one, you say,
fristening the house. Yeah, yeah,

379
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:10.799
a little door on the bathroom,
Yeah, just on the toilet. Just

380
00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:12.640
I'm gonna make this go for as
long as possible. Is happening. This

381
00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:18.119
is happening in real time. It's
a pertetual motion. So I'm downstairs on

382
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:23.319
painting and I hear, uh this
like tippity tap tap tap tap, Right,

383
00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:26.599
what the fuck is that? And
I walk over to the other side

384
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:32.559
of the basement and there's water dripping
down into the basement. I like this,

385
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:36.759
and I like drips on my hand
and it's not water, it's raw

386
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:41.240
sewage. So I go upstairs to
the new bathroom that we're putting in and

387
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:45.640
there's just a pipe with sewage coming
out into the now. Granted this is

388
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:49.000
like ten o'clock at night. You
know, I'm there alone and there's sewage

389
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:53.640
is going in behind the dry wall, right, just going yeah, I

390
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:57.279
can expose pipe. Yeah, well, like it's where the bathroom sink is

391
00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:00.519
gonna go, right, But they
didn't plug it, so it's just just

392
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:04.759
leaking sewage out into this new wall
they had just put up, like a

393
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:08.039
plane machine pulled on the level.
Well, it wasn't like sludge. It

394
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:11.000
was like it was you know,
yeah, when you say sewage, I

395
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:14.200
mean it's that the literal definition of
sewage. Is that just straight up poop?

396
00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:17.920
Or is that like it's water?
It is as if you flush the

397
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:19.799
toilet and somebody on the other end
had a cup and caught it, and

398
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:23.440
it's like it's like it's like ground
up like toilet paper in our life.

399
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:27.599
Oh gross. Yeah, So it's
a whole milliew of just think about everything

400
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:30.720
you've ever flushed down a toilet.
Now now coming back up, Yeah,

401
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:33.920
did you recognize your poop? Mine? I didn't know. I didn't spend

402
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:38.160
too much time with it, Like
I kind of immediately gone on the phone.

403
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:41.839
Uh was ten o'clock at night,
this oclock. When I called the

404
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:45.240
contract, actually my wife called the
contract because I'm a baby. I was

405
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:48.720
like, poop, it's shooting ship
coming into it. It's on our walls.

406
00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:52.880
And it's because I just set up, uh in the basement like a

407
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:56.400
router, and like I bought this
too big, like fucking cage to put

408
00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:59.240
my router in, because that the
whole house wide with network stuff, and

409
00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:02.680
it's now full of like sewage,
right, And I'm like, there's there's

410
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:07.359
poop all by round and and she's
I'll call the contractor. Don't call the

411
00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:10.839
contractor. And the contractor comes over
and he looks at it and he's like,

412
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:14.319
yeah, yeah, there's there's probably
got Oh, you've got a good

413
00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:18.960
eye, that yours. That's a
good contract. That's a fine bouquet.

414
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:22.079
And then so he sees it,
and then he's like, okay, there

415
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:26.119
must be a stoppage somewhere after the
new pipes, of course, but you

416
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:29.640
know, somewhere else, uh,
And he puts a plug on the pipe

417
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:33.519
and we're like flushing some of the
other toilets because you can kind of there's

418
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:34.359
a drain. You can see the
water go out, and we're trying to

419
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:38.240
figure out whether the stoppage is if
we have to call the plumber. So

420
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:41.200
we do that, and we're like
we're kind of wrapping up, and I'm

421
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:42.000
like, okay, it's you know, there's a plug on the pipe.

422
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:45.880
Are ready to go now it's about
like eleven o'clock at night, stopping pat

423
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:48.039
or done anything. Uh, And
he's like, all right, let me

424
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:51.279
just go tighten up that plug before
we leave, so that you guys are

425
00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:55.559
all, okay, nothing's gonna leak
while you're not here. Fucking a.

426
00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:00.680
He goes to tighten it, the
big bursts off and sewage just fucking ray

427
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:07.640
projectile sewage all over him and just
start blowing onto the floor. It's like

428
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:12.519
a little rascals and he's just like
shit, shit shit shit fuck shuck.

429
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:17.160
And I'm just like, oh my
god, she's standing there being like she's

430
00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:23.480
turned around and run down immediately it's
just like pooling on the floor like I'm

431
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:27.480
throwing paper towels on it. The
floor finished at this point, yeah,

432
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:33.240
new floors are that God. And
then I run downstairs and now there's a

433
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.440
bunch of sewage and actually tripped the
breaker on all that. So how was

434
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:41.400
the router at the point it's covered
in fucking shit, so like it's my

435
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:45.599
shitty internet. So it's just it's
that was covered and then there's poop on

436
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:47.720
the floor and he, you know, God bless him, he's sitting there

437
00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:51.119
just trying to clean it up and
like spraying it with anything that says it

438
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:53.200
has bleaching it, right, just
like trying to kill it. And so

439
00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:59.599
that that's that was my yesterday.
And she just sorry then. So so

440
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:02.599
once we capped it and we're like, don't use any want don't you know

441
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:06.160
everything had drained out of the pipe
at that point, and that this morning

442
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:08.960
the plumber came and fix the problem. Is that the state in which you

443
00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:11.519
left the house, Yes, this
was this thing in place, like eight

444
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:15.319
hours before you had to be on
a flight in the contractor proceed to beat

445
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:19.200
the plumber senseless after, you know. It's so that's you know, I

446
00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:22.599
don't think so, but like he
didn't well within his rights. So look

447
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:30.519
I don't understand things period, because
it's like put the new pipes in,

448
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:33.079
right, So is he responsible to
test the whole system? Yes, and

449
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:37.119
the existing syce So I don't I
don't know. Do you just test what

450
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:41.319
you put in? You test everything
because you have been tesked with this job

451
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:44.680
of making sure that all the ship
goes to the right place. I would

452
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:47.759
think, well, so the so
the toilet's all flushed and nothing back to

453
00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:49.599
I don't know, I don't know. There was also this, very quickly,

454
00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:52.680
this other thing where we had to
get the gas turned on in the

455
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:55.200
house, and granted the gas had
been off for like six months, but

456
00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:59.759
that the plumber had tested all his
new lines, and then the gas company

457
00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:02.359
was like, before we turn this
on, you need to test tie the

458
00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:04.640
whole system together. Uh, and
we need to make sure this works.

459
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:08.720
And plumbers like whatever, like all
the new stuff's good, and the contractors

460
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:10.880
like, do you want to test
it? Was like, do we have

461
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:12.079
a choice? He's like, no, not really, you should test it.

462
00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:15.359
And basically what they do is they
pump air through it and they have

463
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:18.640
a gauge and the gauge needs to
stay at fifteen pounds for square inch for

464
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:21.440
like twenty four hours. Right,
that means there's no leaks. They test

465
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:25.279
the old system and it immediately went
to zeal which means that there would just

466
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:29.640
have been gas leaking into the house
if you hadn't. I'm learning a lot

467
00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:33.319
so is this a new house like
you buy know it's a it's a house

468
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:36.640
that was basically condemned that we are
restoring. So if you're restoring house,

469
00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:38.240
are buying a new one? Like
what comes included? Like you have to

470
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:41.599
buy the pipes and the toilets and
like what or is it just the wood

471
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:45.920
that you're buying in the land what
you're doing? Would you buy the house

472
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:49.799
the house comes with it stuff?
But let's say you're building a house,

473
00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:52.920
like you pay I'm paying one hundred
thousand dollars to build a house and you're

474
00:28:53.119 --> 00:29:00.519
just the wood. I'm talking.
Are you buying this in the under of

475
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:04.119
Canada? The materials prices they're not
going to be that much low. I

476
00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:07.480
don't know, you'll get to like
aluminum shanty that you lean up against.

477
00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:12.000
Well, okay whatever a normal normal
person house is now? Yes, Like,

478
00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:15.000
so you pay, you pay sticker
price. Is it just the wood

479
00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:18.559
and the floors and the steps and
the ceiling and then you have to buy

480
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:22.440
the toilets and the refrigerators. And
so I've bought a house that was not

481
00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:25.359
condemned. Okay, when I bought
my house and it is now, it

482
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:30.720
is now, but it should be. But we're getting there. And basically

483
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:33.920
you have to do a lot of
stuff up front, like you have to

484
00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:37.240
do a pest inspection and like so
the existing homeowner will often do most of

485
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:41.559
the inspections and pay for it.
Yeah, and they will then present it

486
00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:44.200
and say like, you know,
here's the status of the house. But

487
00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:47.400
you at some point have to go, do I trust these people who probably

488
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:51.960
went to the cheapest people in the
world to get these inspections done. Who

489
00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:53.359
knows what they did. I'm going
to bring in my own people and have

490
00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:59.240
them inspect it because they work for
me, not the sellers. Yeah.

491
00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:02.000
So it's like you I get to
have someone come in there kick the tires

492
00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:04.160
to go like all right, this
actually passes our pest inspection too, it

493
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:07.319
doesn't seem like it's on fire,
okay. Uh. And so you have

494
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:10.079
to do like I did that before
I bought the house. It's like a

495
00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:14.920
significant investment. So it's one of
th things like you if you go the

496
00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:18.200
distance on a lot of houses and
put in a bid and then get rejected,

497
00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:22.319
like you might be paying for a
dozen different pest inspections on a dozen

498
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:26.200
different places. Align in the way
were talking it's like if you want to

499
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:27.599
bucks the pop, I don't know. So we didn't have to do any

500
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:30.880
of that. Yeah, because it
was you already knew it was bad.

501
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:33.319
Well, we already knew it was
bad. It was also just a transfer

502
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:36.960
for because Jesse's dad owned the house. It was a transfer, so we

503
00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:38.799
didn't even have to have insurance on
the house because like it was just basically

504
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:44.839
which was probably a mistake, you
know, so we even yeah, so

505
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:48.720
like but so for us, we
basically they tore down pipe down the house.

506
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:51.759
I told Jesse it was like,
we need to get in church right

507
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:53.559
away. Uh. They toren down
the house basically to the frame. So

508
00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:59.160
we have had to pick every every
outlet, every light switch, every is

509
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:02.640
all align item. So you are
you're going to home depot and getting all

510
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:03.880
the st you could, or you
can just ask the contract or be like,

511
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:07.319
I don't care what light switches you
put in, every socket, every

512
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:11.480
outlet, every you know, door
knob, floor in. All that stuff's

513
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:12.720
gonna come from somewhere. But you're
kind of looking at locations you like,

514
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:15.400
I want outlets here. I was
here. Yeah that's kind of cool.

515
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:18.160
Yeah, so I was able to
like I was like we're putting like Cat

516
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:22.240
six in all the rooms, and
like you said that you had wired and

517
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:25.920
stuff everywhere. That's yeah, and
so that's cool and yeah, well we

518
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:30.519
did that hot twenty fourteen technology CAT
six. So like I think CAT six,

519
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:32.319
you know, you gotta pull the
trigar at some point, right,

520
00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:34.279
Yeah, So CAT six could be
all right. For a while, I

521
00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:37.279
was saying, well, what else
would you put in eight, two,

522
00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:41.039
eleven ac? Oh? Whatever,
that's extensive. So I also have wireless

523
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:45.000
access points that are so this CAT
six that runs to the access points uh

524
00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:49.279
ass points? Access points? How
big is this fucking house like tiny were

525
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:52.279
doing. I don't know, because
if you're gonna do it, yeah,

526
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:56.880
you're gonna have the walls. Yeah
yeah, yeah, I guess yeah,

527
00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:00.119
if you billing it to your speck
right like not some like my ass was

528
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:02.079
built in the seventies and I look
at the like the bathroom it's got two

529
00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:05.519
sinks, one set outlets. Who
the fuck did that? Well, it's

530
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:07.119
two floors. They just was like, we'll pull it on the first of

531
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:10.039
all and one yeah. So like
anyway, yeah, and that it becomes

532
00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:13.880
exhausting. At some point I had
to pick out the toilet's the toilet paper

533
00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:15.359
holder. You know everything, But
did they give you like a catalog and

534
00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:17.039
you just point at what you want? Or do you have to go to

535
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:21.400
a store If you want to pay
like eight thousand dollars for a toilet paper

536
00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:22.119
holder, you could do it.
If you want to go to home depot

537
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:24.079
and just pick one out of a
bin, you could tell. But they'll

538
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:28.440
give you like a brochure and you
can just pick it out and there's no

539
00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:30.519
they It's like you have the contractor
to do whatever work you assign them,

540
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:34.000
like you if you know, Like
so it's like, oh, well,

541
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:37.200
I want someone to come in and
like, so I have a chandelier in

542
00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:38.599
what is supposed to be the dining
room but it is now actually full of

543
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:44.440
arcade machines, and the chandelier fucking
sucks. It's a piece of shit.

544
00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:47.400
It's just it's garbage. So I'm
I have a contractor guy that I know.

545
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:51.640
I'm gonna say, like, look
like, I'm not handy with this

546
00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:52.599
ship. You want me to go
put it a light, I will kill

547
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:55.279
myself. So I'm gonna tell tell
this guy, like, okay, I

548
00:32:55.359 --> 00:32:59.079
want to get this light in this
spot. He'll go okay, cool,

549
00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:00.559
he will go to home depot and
buy it, or I could order it

550
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:04.000
and have it shipped like whatever.
But I can say, here's the thing,

551
00:33:04.079 --> 00:33:06.960
put it in it is basically what
I'm doing is basically saying, like,

552
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:09.759
as a homeowner, I am giving
up my rights as a homeowner to

553
00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:14.720
do this work myself and say,
look, man, just this this towel

554
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:15.920
ring fell out of the wall and
now there's a hole in the wall.

555
00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:19.200
And fuck man, I'm not going
to patch the wall. Just patch the

556
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:21.960
wall and put this thing in there. And planners, oh yeah, you

557
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:24.839
can be lazy if you want to
be sure. They're like they're wedding planners,

558
00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:28.279
right, Like you can be hands
on or as hands off as you

559
00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:30.880
want to go. Most of the
time you want someone to just need that,

560
00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:35.720
and like, I don't know.
The difference with building a home is

561
00:33:35.799 --> 00:33:40.559
that there are laws and regulations about
what what legally you need to have in

562
00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:44.079
there, So at some point everything
needs to be up to code and not

563
00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:49.039
dangerous, so it sure that sort
of stuff. So like if you do

564
00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:52.319
it yourself, you still have to
get it like certified and inspected and all

565
00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:53.759
this other stuff, and they'll probably
be really bummed out that you did it

566
00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:59.440
yourself, because you're denying a union
man a job, and no one likes

567
00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:00.440
that. I guess. So,
yeah, like I could go in there

568
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:04.000
and wire the whole thing, but
it saw the past inspection and like I

569
00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:07.440
don't know the codes or whatever,
but like the yeah, everything has to

570
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:10.760
be done to code, which can
become a pain in the butt itself.

571
00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:15.639
And you know, it is a
lot of we're exhausted having to pick everything

572
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:17.119
out. Right. I bought my
toilet on Amazon, right, I just

573
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:20.480
want to like, what toilet has
the best reviews? The ship a toilet

574
00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:22.880
to you? Totally? Did you
get a cool Japanese toilet with buttons?

575
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:25.400
No? Come on, man,
what are you doing? Running out of

576
00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:30.280
money? I'm doing it's a bucket. Maybe somebody can explain this to me,

577
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:31.920
because people have tried to explain this
to me my entire adult life.

578
00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:39.039
How toilet works. It's weird.
Yeah, no, you it's weird all

579
00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:44.039
right on the video's floor. Apparently
in Layman's terms, as simple as possible.

580
00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:47.360
What the fuck is a mortgage?
The closest I don't understand what it

581
00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:52.440
is? Really? Somebody told me
that it's like, have you ever.

582
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:55.239
Have you ever gotten alone for anything? You've got thirty seconds explain this.

583
00:34:57.519 --> 00:35:00.840
It is a homeland, so you
don't. So the bank is paying for

584
00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:04.920
the house that you are getting a
loan from the bank. They are paying

585
00:35:04.960 --> 00:35:07.199
so so they're giving me when I
bought my house, They're not giving me

586
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:09.719
a check. They're giving a check
to the person who's selling. The bank

587
00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:14.440
pays the home people, yes,
and and then I pay the bank monthly

588
00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:16.480
and the bank but the house and
the bank technically owns the house until I

589
00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:20.000
pay it off. Imagine that you're
paying rent to your bank and after like

590
00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:22.000
thirty years, you own the house. You can just do cash though,

591
00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:23.440
right, and then you just own
it. You don't have to have any

592
00:35:23.480 --> 00:35:27.400
banks involved or if you have,
ye totally. If you have, if

593
00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:29.800
you have that kind of cash on
let me tell you a little bit about

594
00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:31.639
San Francisco. You did not have
that kind of cash on him. No,

595
00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:35.559
no, no, I just don't
understand who's paying who. It is

596
00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:37.960
just a loan. It's just and
you have to get approved for this stuff

597
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:40.159
for so because it's so much money. I don't understand what credit scores are.

598
00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:44.880
And that's another thing. But so
that's you should have a credit card

599
00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:46.239
and be building up if you unless
you want to go off the grid and

600
00:35:46.280 --> 00:35:50.880
live like jesse Ventura. There are
two ways you can go with this there,

601
00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:52.400
Look, there are two ways you
can go with your life, Dan,

602
00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:55.719
and one involves me being jesse Ventura. One involves you being off the

603
00:35:55.719 --> 00:35:59.840
grid, jesse Ventura style and paying
cash for everything for the rest of your

604
00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:02.480
life like some kind of goddamn fiend. The other one involves getting into the

605
00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:07.079
system, getting this chip put in
the back of your stone, and getting

606
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:09.119
a goddamn credit card and paying it
off. Isn't it infinitely easier to just

607
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:13.480
rent apartments for the rest of your
life? Well, that helps, That's

608
00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:15.960
what I have no plans to do
anything about that. So here's the difference,

609
00:36:16.199 --> 00:36:19.760
And you may be right. In
some cities it actually is more cost

610
00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:22.719
efficient to rent. But you when
you have a mortgage, you are putting

611
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:24.760
money. You're essentially getting equity in
that I can sell that house. He

612
00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:29.199
can sell this house, recoup all
the rent he has paid over the years,

613
00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:31.239
possibly make more. Yeah yeah,
yea. Ideally the property value will

614
00:36:31.239 --> 00:36:35.400
increase. Right, So I bought
my house right before all the prices went

615
00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:38.199
to shit when the economy went bad. Oh eight, yeah, yeah,

616
00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:42.039
yeah, yeah, well it was
it was like oh seven when I bought

617
00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:45.159
the place, so it was just
about had peeked and then went to ship.

618
00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:49.239
So I paid a significant goddamn amount
of money for my house and then

619
00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:53.239
overnight I got a mortga okay,
and overnight half of its value was gone.

620
00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:55.920
But I am still on the hook
for the full amount. It's not

621
00:36:57.000 --> 00:36:59.559
like when the house goes, you
know, down in half. I get

622
00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:02.360
a sudden they only pay off half
because my loan was for X amount of

623
00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:07.679
dollars. Then eventually you can go
So here here's what re mortgaging. Refinancing

624
00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:13.119
your loan is some other company or
sometimes even the same company, because it's

625
00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:16.639
a fucking insane racket. We'll say, hey, your loan that you got

626
00:37:16.719 --> 00:37:20.840
years ago, the terms of it, you could do better now. You

627
00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:22.519
could get a lower interest rate on
the loan, so you'd be paying less

628
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:27.079
money on top. Or basically,
someone will come along and say we'll give

629
00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:29.960
you a better loan. So we'll
give you a loan to pay off your

630
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:34.000
old loan, and then you pay
us back that loan. This sounds terrible,

631
00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:36.960
it is. So if people do
this well because you get a lower

632
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:38.639
rate when you're refining why people do
this whole, so we're not refining to

633
00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:44.199
get to a house and put access
points into the reality is very few people

634
00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:49.039
can afford to pay the entirety of
the cost of the house up front.

635
00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:52.440
So it is like a Tomnok situation. It is, and and it's the

636
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:54.559
people who can pay it every month. Like it's not like tom knock or

637
00:37:54.559 --> 00:37:57.800
it's like we won't upgrade your house
until you pay it off. It's like

638
00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:00.199
if you don't, if you don't
pay this payment every month, eventually we're

639
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:02.639
gonna come take you out of that
house. Even even if you had the

640
00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:07.039
money to buy the house, it's
still smarter to financial mortgage at a lower

641
00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:08.559
interest rate than what you could be
making in hosting the money. So then

642
00:38:08.599 --> 00:38:12.639
you invest the money and pay the
mortgage as usual. Yes, the interest

643
00:38:12.679 --> 00:38:16.119
rates are usually not such that you
would want to take hundreds of thousands of

644
00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:19.920
dollars and just pay out right,
right, you can take that money,

645
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:22.880
get a return on that for a
higher interest rate than you So if I

646
00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:25.199
wanted to someday, let's say I
don't want to live where I live anymore,

647
00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:28.320
I want to go somewhere else,
I want to buy another house,

648
00:38:28.360 --> 00:38:30.199
or I want to rent or something
like that. I own that home.

649
00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:32.239
I could rent it out, but
the bank owns it, right And he

650
00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:35.559
said, well, if if I
pay off the market, or if or

651
00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:37.400
even if I'm in the process of
so, I could rent out my home

652
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:42.880
right now for more than what my
monthly payment on that lap. No.

653
00:38:42.880 --> 00:38:45.280
No, I could rent it out
permanently. I could move all. You

654
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:47.480
could also and rent it to someone
like you who wants to rent a house

655
00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:51.800
okay, and doesn't want to buy
a house. Okay. I could be

656
00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:54.639
gone. I could be a slum
lord okay. And they could do things

657
00:38:54.679 --> 00:38:58.199
like the heat doesn't work and I
go fuck you and paying up the phone.

658
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:01.079
You could make an argument that you're
already all or yeah, no whatever.

659
00:39:01.119 --> 00:39:06.440
That place is fine. No,
it's it's a bran new dishwasher.

660
00:39:06.760 --> 00:39:09.880
It's looking good in there. Someday. Mortgages are weird. I'm not gonna

661
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:15.960
ever get mortgages is weird? You
are, No, there's no chance in

662
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:17.639
hell. Well, I see.
The thing is like, if you're paying

663
00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:21.800
rent on an apartment, it's just
going to another dude. It's just going

664
00:39:21.800 --> 00:39:24.840
off. It's going to me and
I'm spending it on fucking Brita. But

665
00:39:25.079 --> 00:39:28.360
I don't have to do anything.
I just get the right a check once

666
00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:31.079
a month and then just go one
day. One day, you wake up

667
00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:34.920
in your seventy and you have nothing
to your name, but also but also

668
00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:37.679
happiness. But but they can also
that guy, they know where to live.

669
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:40.119
The guy's charging rent. Can't monetize
that right, you can't buy it.

670
00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:43.960
You can kick you out or raise
your rent like you have no agency.

671
00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:46.239
Really, there's another place. Wow, Sometimes it's not that easy,

672
00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:49.719
you know. Like then sometimes you
know if you're in a place for a

673
00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:51.639
long time, like there was a
there was an issue in New York for

674
00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:53.239
a long time with people who had
been in apartments for many, many years

675
00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:57.920
and they were rent controlled, and
that means that the price was well below

676
00:39:57.960 --> 00:40:01.400
market value for whatever the property was, and and landlords started kicking these fairly

677
00:40:01.440 --> 00:40:06.840
elderly people trying to get them evicted
from those apartments because they knew they could

678
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:08.880
charge like many or five times what
they were already charging. That's happening here

679
00:40:09.079 --> 00:40:13.639
and under the Ellis Act in an
epidemic fashion, like it's everywhere, Like

680
00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:15.920
there's no guarantee with a rented property
that you can stay there forever. Right,

681
00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:19.840
they will find like landlords will find
ways to to fuck you over if

682
00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:22.599
they think they can make more money, go to another apartment, because that's

683
00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:24.880
that's an option if, like yourself, you're gainfully employed. Yes, but

684
00:40:25.159 --> 00:40:29.679
I'm not. And I'm saying,
like I have a job, and like,

685
00:40:29.719 --> 00:40:31.599
why don't what if if you don't
want an apartment? I do,

686
00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:34.639
though, Well, like what if
you want what if you want so?

687
00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:36.719
What if you don't want shared walls? What if you want to play Rockman

688
00:40:36.840 --> 00:40:39.039
real fucking loud. That's the problem
I ran into. I'm finally walls.

689
00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:42.119
I've always had shared walls. It's
never been a problem once in my life.

690
00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:45.639
You should try not having shared walls
some time. It'll blow your mind.

691
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:47.880
Have you guys, Have you guys
seen this reverse mortgage thing that the

692
00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:51.800
Fawns is peddling to old people?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've seen

693
00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:53.760
that. Two the two people I've
seen hawking this thing or the Fawns and

694
00:40:53.800 --> 00:41:01.559
Fred Thompson. The only every time
those ads come on it so candidate alumni.

695
00:41:01.840 --> 00:41:05.360
But it always starts, and it
always starts off if you're over the

696
00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:09.280
age of sixty two. But it
sounds like you're basically like selling your equity

697
00:41:09.320 --> 00:41:13.199
in the house back to the exact
Yeah, and they and they're giving you

698
00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:15.119
a little extra money along the way
so you can Yeah. So basically,

699
00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:16.880
yes, that is exactly. But
then at the end of the pitch,

700
00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:20.360
they're always like, the best part
is you still own your house. Yeah,

701
00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:22.119
so you can get like a yeah, I'm not sure how that part.

702
00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:24.280
Basically you could go get like a
line of credit on based on your

703
00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:28.599
equity, you go get a loan, but basically using your home as collateral

704
00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:31.719
without that too, if you own
enough of it, there's there are a

705
00:41:31.719 --> 00:41:35.320
lot of weird options you can get
into if that's the sort of stuff you

706
00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:37.840
want to do. But yeah,
that I don't know any any kind of

707
00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:40.039
financial stuff that's offered on late night
TV. Buy the Fonds and maybe it

708
00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:44.320
seems like sort of a shell game. Yes with you, uh, and

709
00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:49.679
I like the Fonds. Who doesn't
know he's great on Children's Hospital. Yeah,

710
00:41:51.079 --> 00:41:52.599
what is this podcast? I don't
know. Welcome to the Giant House

711
00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:55.840
the House cast. But it doesn't
matter because property values have gotten such that

712
00:41:55.840 --> 00:41:59.599
no one's ever going to buy a
home ever again. So uh, it's

713
00:41:59.599 --> 00:42:00.840
a fucking nightmare around here. Now, Dan, I'm with you. I'm

714
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:07.280
still renning an apartment. It's still
enjoying the lack of responsibilities. Never never

715
00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:09.760
say that, say so, after
all, after all was said and done,

716
00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:13.440
after my most recent moves and all
that other stuff with the you know,

717
00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:16.360
I got deep in the finance game, kid, I am paying less

718
00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:20.840
for that place than I was when
I was renting. Huh, and it

719
00:42:20.920 --> 00:42:23.199
was actually like a better like I
am, I am saving money and I'm

720
00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:28.199
a house and exactly I'm owning that
thing. Theoretically, at the end of

721
00:42:28.199 --> 00:42:30.440
this, no one can come in
and say those pinball machines can no longer

722
00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:35.400
be in this house. I at
one point said, then no one else

723
00:42:35.480 --> 00:42:37.199
can say that to you. That's
true. That's true. I saw my

724
00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:43.440
world comment machine guy came down from
Nebraska and bought four hundred and thirty bucks.

725
00:42:43.480 --> 00:42:45.480
What do you think. Yeah,
that's very good. It's gonna bum

726
00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:49.599
right joystick. Joysticks are like four
bucks. It's okay. He feel like

727
00:42:49.639 --> 00:42:53.360
it was gonna be more so I
cut off twenty bucks. But sorry,

728
00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:59.639
yeah, that's I bought it.
Yeah, whatever, it's Yeah, then

729
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:04.800
if the monitor is in good shape
house, Yeah, exactly, you can

730
00:43:04.880 --> 00:43:07.599
live in a Mortal combat machine.
Actually, I think owning an arcade machine

731
00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:15.440
is probably more burdensome than owning a
house. Really, So I traded machine

732
00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:20.639
has a bum monitor on it currently, but the pinball machine didn't work at

733
00:43:20.639 --> 00:43:22.360
all, so at least this one
makes noise. You can replace it with

734
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:25.800
another c r T or go to
like Elsie. It needs a part,

735
00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:30.519
so the monitor actually talk to you
still know that guy who can get you

736
00:43:30.599 --> 00:43:36.239
the parts. Yeah, that's how
I got the main. Vinny, that

737
00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:39.639
story sounds like an actual nightmare,
you know. It's thanks for the updated

738
00:43:39.800 --> 00:43:43.519
Yeah, so glad I have so
like, yeah, you know, it's

739
00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:46.800
really really interesting to see every single
bit that goes into the house. Like

740
00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:50.800
that part is actually like how many
times can you see like where every wire

741
00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:52.639
is running your house and every little
bit. But you know, it's like

742
00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:55.559
it's a new system, so you
turn it on and sh it's weird.

743
00:43:57.000 --> 00:44:00.000
But yeah, that part was that
that's probably the areothing that happened to me

744
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:04.840
so far with the house. And
that is uh, that was like twelve

745
00:44:04.840 --> 00:44:07.840
hours ago. Has anything been so
ruined that it's gonna have to be replaced

746
00:44:07.079 --> 00:44:10.440
drywall or flooring or anything. The
house I kind of split, so but

747
00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:15.639
I don't think so. As far
as the check ins today seemed, no,

748
00:44:15.079 --> 00:44:17.519
it didn't. It pooled a bit, but I think I got cleaned

749
00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:21.159
up. So Hey, the nice
thing is I could just went in so

750
00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:22.880
there's like extra bits here. So
if the drywall needs to come down and

751
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:25.880
it comes down, or like the
floors need to come up, they just

752
00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:30.559
went down a couple of like a
week ago, so you replace that stuff.

753
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:35.159
But it's been a really interesting and
exhausting process. I'm sure houses are

754
00:44:35.199 --> 00:44:37.119
dumb, man. You should do
what I did earlier this week, just

755
00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:39.920
living a geodesic dome. Really,
Yeah, where'd you find that? So?

756
00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:45.000
My girlfriend has this amazing knack for
finding the weirdest, most out of

757
00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:46.480
the way places on Airbnb. I
don't know, but we just decided we

758
00:44:46.519 --> 00:44:49.360
want to go into the desert for
a few days because it was winter,

759
00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:51.360
it would being cold, so that
would be a nice time to go.

760
00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:55.119
She found this place in Pioneer Town, California, which is a town set.

761
00:44:57.239 --> 00:45:00.719
Yeah it was. It was founded
by by Roy Roger and I think

762
00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:04.400
Gene Autry as as a film set. It was not actually a town.

763
00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:09.320
It was just a film set they
built to film movies out there. So

764
00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:13.360
the town world, the town is
now occupied, like people moved into the

765
00:45:13.400 --> 00:45:15.400
old film set buildings and like they're
like artists living there and ship. But

766
00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:19.840
this so this this how this place
was like miles off even from the town

767
00:45:20.519 --> 00:45:24.559
and this little weird hippie enclave somewhere
in the middle of nowhere. A dome

768
00:45:24.679 --> 00:45:31.360
house. Yeah, haven't y no
yurt that I was aware of, but

769
00:45:31.440 --> 00:45:36.719
it did have Wi Fi, so
yeah, hot side no, I mean

770
00:45:36.840 --> 00:45:38.440
we had a wood burning stove,
so it would get hot if you you

771
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:43.039
know, burnt would but otherwise it
was pretty cold out there, but it

772
00:45:43.119 --> 00:45:45.840
was middle of nowhere. It was
beautiful. It's yeah, the Ford focus.

773
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:49.480
I was driving down like the roads
out there very much. Payot,

774
00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:55.280
did you consume the amount that I'm
legally allowed to disclose on this this company

775
00:45:55.280 --> 00:46:00.519
podcast. You've got a medicinal card
for that, I assume time. Yeah,

776
00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:02.760
I disappreciate. Yeah, I've got
an elbow thing. They passed that

777
00:46:02.800 --> 00:46:06.519
in New York, right, Yeah, Coyote told me to find my soulmate.

778
00:46:06.559 --> 00:46:08.000
It was great brand I feel like
you want to get this podcast back

779
00:46:08.039 --> 00:46:12.400
on track. Gentlemen, we have
made it to the first break without significantly

780
00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:15.719
all right, I'm looking forward to
making it the second break without good for

781
00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:17.880
us stuff either. Amazing. I'm
gonna tell you about my bathroom and the

782
00:46:17.880 --> 00:46:22.599
water damage. I'm worried to my
ask it's coming up next time. All

783
00:46:22.679 --> 00:46:24.760
right, all right, yep,
let's take a quickne We'll be right back

784
00:46:27.079 --> 00:46:30.760
as Let's talk about video games please
finally, Yeah, it just seems damp

785
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:36.280
in that bathroom is and I'm worried
that there's been water leaking. No,

786
00:46:36.280 --> 00:46:38.599
No, the walls are fine.
The towel ring that came out, Okay,

787
00:46:38.679 --> 00:46:42.280
that's no good. How does that
water smell? Fine? Fine?

788
00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:45.000
I put a new shower head,
just had some some people come through.

789
00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:52.079
And is there any visible mold or
mildeer? I don't, I mean you

790
00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:55.840
brought it up maybe okay on the
walls of the ceiling. Is like a

791
00:46:55.880 --> 00:47:00.440
little black spot on the wall that
I'm telling myself is fine, paid over

792
00:47:00.480 --> 00:47:02.119
it. Yeah, yeah, I
think that's what the previous owners may him

793
00:47:02.159 --> 00:47:07.199
not. In fact, that always
weirds me out that that's like a legitimate

794
00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:12.119
fix for mold. Is layers.
There were like layers of mold and then

795
00:47:12.199 --> 00:47:15.599
paint and then mold and then paint
on this wall and yeah, paint doesn't

796
00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:19.480
kill them all. Well maybe not
live mold, but like when there's this

797
00:47:19.519 --> 00:47:22.960
coloration like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's crazy. It just

798
00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:27.880
crazy. Don't buy a house video, yeah yeah, spend all your money

799
00:47:27.880 --> 00:47:30.000
on games. That's right. Build
a house with games, live outside under

800
00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:32.719
the stars, that's right. You
and Jesse Ventura, look at him.

801
00:47:32.760 --> 00:47:37.360
He's you. You and Jesse in
your games. You'll be fun. That's

802
00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:42.719
name my auto back Jesse and my
games. Are you gonna? Are you

803
00:47:42.719 --> 00:47:45.519
gonna grow out the like bald mullet? Me? Yeah? Why would I

804
00:47:45.519 --> 00:47:47.559
go with? Like he's gotten?
Have you seen that thing? I mean,

805
00:47:47.599 --> 00:47:52.679
the the back mullet dragon a Dragon
ag Inquisition is out? Yeah,

806
00:47:52.960 --> 00:47:58.239
yeah, they're speaking of bald bullets. It looked like a gray warden Brand

807
00:47:58.320 --> 00:48:01.280
shoemaker. IM gonna have to take
that one. There's so many people here.

808
00:48:01.320 --> 00:48:05.000
I'm just gonna throw out large games
that have been released and let you

809
00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:08.280
guys jump on them rather than going
around the table. Who's playing Dragon Age?

810
00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:13.320
I just keep trying like hell too, But like the frame rate issues,

811
00:48:13.400 --> 00:48:15.519
Like during the cut scenes they were
just like completely throwing me out of

812
00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:17.079
what platform are you going? PS
four? So really, yeah, I'm

813
00:48:17.119 --> 00:48:20.880
gonna try it on h FRA.
Right, issues are consistent across all the

814
00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:24.960
platforms differ. The cut scenes run
at a different UH frame rate then the

815
00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:28.480
game. Right, like you were
explain how the PC vers, So the

816
00:48:28.519 --> 00:48:30.599
PC is weird. There's the game
is running at sixty and then when it

817
00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:35.519
hits a cut scene, the cut
scenes, the animations and the cut scenes

818
00:48:35.599 --> 00:48:37.239
run out of thirty, but like
all the ambience stuff like snow flakes and

819
00:48:37.239 --> 00:48:42.519
everything still at sixty. So I
think and it's I think it's trying to

820
00:48:42.559 --> 00:48:45.880
push thirty into sixties. So it's
even getting like hitier and weirder. It

821
00:48:46.039 --> 00:48:50.639
just looks like nonsense during some of
the Wow, I actually want to see

822
00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:53.039
what that looks like. It's weird. That's really disconcerting. And and the

823
00:48:53.079 --> 00:48:57.400
PS four it's just a little hitchy. It's just odd. It just doesn't

824
00:48:57.559 --> 00:49:00.719
it's not consistent in anyway. It's
like there'll be big action scenes, but

825
00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:02.800
it's just as slow as during like
a conversation. Do you guys had the

826
00:49:02.800 --> 00:49:07.679
audio completely cut out in combat,
like combat audio specifically, Like it seems

827
00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:09.079
like you'll go to the menu or
something. This is on the Xbox One

828
00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:13.039
version, and you'll pop back in
and you'll still hear music, but no

829
00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:15.719
footsteps, no fight, no fighting, no no shooting, any of that

830
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:19.559
sort of stuff, Like all just
dies. And then sometimes you'll be able

831
00:49:19.559 --> 00:49:22.159
to pause it again and it'll come
back. The Xbox one version is weird

832
00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:24.679
in a few different ways, like, well, we're talking at lunch about

833
00:49:24.760 --> 00:49:28.599
some of the weird bugs. Like
the one that will happen is you'll be

834
00:49:28.639 --> 00:49:31.519
in a conversation and then just the
character will deliver his line and it's just

835
00:49:31.519 --> 00:49:35.280
specifically stick on him and yeah,
it'll stick on him, and it's just

836
00:49:35.320 --> 00:49:38.079
staring it yea, and not even
not even really like an idle animation or

837
00:49:38.079 --> 00:49:40.760
anything, just sort of staring.
Maybe he just really meant what he said.

838
00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:44.719
Yeah, And it will not advance. It won't advance. Sometimes it'll

839
00:49:44.760 --> 00:49:46.440
just hitch forward. But what I've
found, at least on the PS four

840
00:49:46.519 --> 00:49:51.559
version, and what's very odd is
that I've pressed all the buttons individually.

841
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:57.320
Nothing changes if I press them all
together. No, it hits hitches towards

842
00:49:57.360 --> 00:50:00.320
forward. In the conversation. Really
and this this has happened maybe twice in

843
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:05.199
twenty five hours, so we're not
talking about So I watched that happen consistently

844
00:50:05.320 --> 00:50:07.960
over the course of like one quest. It was like every single time it

845
00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:09.880
had stopped for dialogue or and it's
basically any time it'll stoped for dialogue.

846
00:50:09.880 --> 00:50:15.760
Like the game just got in a
in a way where every single conversation was

847
00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:19.239
fucked. You would make a selection, or sometimes the conversation well wouldn't pop

848
00:50:19.320 --> 00:50:22.159
up because it was just stuck sitting
there. Sometimes the skip button would pop

849
00:50:22.239 --> 00:50:25.880
up if you hammered on X to
eventually skip it. Sometimes it would eventually

850
00:50:25.880 --> 00:50:30.639
just pop you back into running around
the world. You're just missing dialogue or

851
00:50:30.679 --> 00:50:35.880
something just for you dance like your
your character will This only happens in the

852
00:50:35.920 --> 00:50:37.679
middle of a conversation. I'll start
a conversation and then the character will just

853
00:50:37.719 --> 00:50:42.280
start like pumping his fists and just
like floating and doing a dance above.

854
00:50:42.440 --> 00:50:45.960
I didn't see that doing a dance
above above the ground a little bit and

855
00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:49.239
clipped a little bit. And then
when you finish the conversation, oh,

856
00:50:49.480 --> 00:50:52.280
animacing, he's he's like floating,
just above the air, so falling animation.

857
00:50:52.360 --> 00:51:00.360
Yeah, I had a case where
the elf Lady was walking around the

858
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:02.559
world like that, not stepping,
just like covering, and it doesn't It

859
00:51:02.559 --> 00:51:06.079
doesn't stop until you jump, and
if you jump then it clicks out.

860
00:51:06.119 --> 00:51:07.840
Why would you want to stop,
don't? I went for I went for

861
00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:12.320
like a full five minutes, just
running across the hair lands, just falling

862
00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:15.159
and dancing. The only bug I've
had that was real fun was there was

863
00:51:15.199 --> 00:51:19.599
a it was up against a big
cliff face, and every time I would

864
00:51:19.639 --> 00:51:23.800
turn my party around, a soldier
would walk out from the cliff, and

865
00:51:23.800 --> 00:51:27.480
then as soon as I turn around, he'd run back and clip through the

866
00:51:27.480 --> 00:51:30.480
cliff again. And like every time
I turned my back again, he would

867
00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:35.880
slowly walk out and then clip back
through him. And eventually I killed him

868
00:51:35.880 --> 00:51:37.559
put him out of there. I
got him stuck in there. So there's

869
00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:42.239
one quest where sometimes the guy who's
supposed to kill is like not present or

870
00:51:42.280 --> 00:51:44.480
clip through the world or something.
You have to just kind of quick open

871
00:51:44.519 --> 00:51:45.760
world. I'm just gonna quit and
come back and hope that it's different this

872
00:51:45.800 --> 00:51:49.840
time. Like, yeah, but
I've been enjoying. So I got a

873
00:51:49.840 --> 00:51:52.360
message into my tumbler. I think
it's my tumbler saying like like, all

874
00:51:52.440 --> 00:51:54.800
right, you know broken games or
on everybody's mind right now, that's like

875
00:51:54.800 --> 00:51:59.119
the big problem in the industry,
and like Assassin's Creed and master Chief for

876
00:51:59.159 --> 00:52:01.800
getting all this flak, Like why
is nobody complaining about Dragon ages it because

877
00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:06.079
everybody likes it and they're just giving
it a pass. And also it's well

878
00:52:06.079 --> 00:52:07.400
so that's the thing. I mean, some of it sounds I read that

879
00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:09.199
and I was like, is it
really that bad? But it sounds like

880
00:52:09.239 --> 00:52:12.800
you guys are making it sounds like
there's some actual substance to the idea of

881
00:52:12.840 --> 00:52:15.559
Yeah, inquisition is kind of I
mean, there's some jank. It seems

882
00:52:15.559 --> 00:52:19.760
like I've never had to reload or
anything I've had, you know, everything

883
00:52:19.880 --> 00:52:21.760
is just sort of like, well
that's kind of funky. But like the

884
00:52:22.519 --> 00:52:24.119
falling animation I've had, I've had
a crash. I've had a crash to

885
00:52:24.159 --> 00:52:25.880
dashboard a couple of times, you
know, couple think of it. The

886
00:52:25.880 --> 00:52:30.840
first time much Fast travel to the
Hinterlands, it crashed to the PS four

887
00:52:30.880 --> 00:52:32.800
interface. Yeah, yeah, the
only thing I've had frame rate hitchiness.

888
00:52:32.800 --> 00:52:36.039
But like I don't again I don't. I think it's more that it's it's

889
00:52:36.119 --> 00:52:38.880
it's more that the other games are
probably a little more popular and widespread,

890
00:52:39.159 --> 00:52:43.480
sure, and you know the issues
are more gentilitating in that Yeah, well,

891
00:52:43.599 --> 00:52:45.760
especially some of this Dragon Age stuff
has been fucking bad. Well yeah,

892
00:52:46.079 --> 00:52:47.960
you know, if you're crashing out
of the game, that's crashing out

893
00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:51.480
of the game, or just like
dialogue that want advance or quest that you

894
00:52:51.559 --> 00:52:53.199
can't finish until you reboot and hope
for the best. Like, you know,

895
00:52:53.360 --> 00:52:57.480
it seems to have it's issues,
but that game is so sprawling and

896
00:52:57.599 --> 00:53:00.000
large that different people are going to
run into different issues along the way,

897
00:53:00.039 --> 00:53:04.280
and some people may never run into
anything. So it's it's one of those

898
00:53:04.280 --> 00:53:06.880
things where you know, it's like
we can only report on what we've seen,

899
00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:08.719
or you know, if there's something
we've heard, we can certainly say

900
00:53:08.760 --> 00:53:12.199
like passing, hey we hear it's
messed up. I would say, didn

901
00:53:12.280 --> 00:53:15.039
you say there's a certain NPC that
if you talk to them that like spontaneously

902
00:53:15.079 --> 00:53:17.599
changes your gender. Yeah, there's
no change your it'll change the voice of

903
00:53:17.639 --> 00:53:22.199
your character. It's it's there's like
a known issue. They say they're going

904
00:53:22.280 --> 00:53:24.480
to patch. It's in this section
called Skyhold, which will make sense if

905
00:53:24.519 --> 00:53:28.119
you're that far into the game,
and if you talk to them, then

906
00:53:28.199 --> 00:53:31.000
yes, apparently sometimes your voice will
switch. It does change back. No,

907
00:53:31.199 --> 00:53:35.159
and there's no way the game doesn't. You can respect your characters in

908
00:53:35.239 --> 00:53:38.440
Dragon Age, but you cannot like
recustomize the look of them. That game

909
00:53:38.480 --> 00:53:45.239
has got some very uh all the
player animations are deliberately masculine. It's something

910
00:53:45.239 --> 00:53:49.199
you don't notice until your plan is
a lady and she's sitting in the throne

911
00:53:49.280 --> 00:53:52.400
like spread arm out like a right
look, tell me, like what the

912
00:53:52.480 --> 00:53:57.360
fuck? Which is weird for a
game that, like I would say,

913
00:53:57.400 --> 00:54:00.360
the majority of the characters are like
female, Like it's it's like a I

914
00:54:00.360 --> 00:54:04.719
think we're in the main character you're
talking about specific like they only map the

915
00:54:05.320 --> 00:54:07.280
That's what I'm That's what I'm saying. It's odd that, you know,

916
00:54:07.320 --> 00:54:08.480
for a game in which, like
a lot of the NPCs, a lot

917
00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:12.360
of the characters they drive the plot
are winning. It's a game where when

918
00:54:12.480 --> 00:54:14.679
you can tell that they deliberately kind
of went out of their way to address

919
00:54:14.679 --> 00:54:16.880
a lot of stuff that you know
that a lot of other games don't,

920
00:54:16.960 --> 00:54:20.400
like, you know, there's a
trans character and they get into that.

921
00:54:20.519 --> 00:54:22.239
Yeah, but like in this one
specific case, you're like, come on,

922
00:54:23.519 --> 00:54:27.719
just these animations specifically, like you
could I mean, hey, she

923
00:54:27.840 --> 00:54:30.559
might sit like that. I don't
know, but come on, come on,

924
00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:34.360
they could have done better with that. Yeah, I'm enjoying the only

925
00:54:34.360 --> 00:54:37.519
thing. I'm pretty early on the
combat seems and maybe I'm I was talking

926
00:54:37.519 --> 00:54:39.639
to you guys before. Maybe it's
just that the game is I'm playing on

927
00:54:39.760 --> 00:54:43.639
normal, man, it's playing on
harder. Just doesn't seem very tactical yet,

928
00:54:43.760 --> 00:54:45.920
right, They're just kind of holding
down, Retrick, I'm playing a

929
00:54:45.920 --> 00:54:47.519
maide. You're managing cool downs,
Yeah, managing cool downs. And like,

930
00:54:47.760 --> 00:54:51.360
I'm not switching the characters. I'm
not micromanaging. And I feel like

931
00:54:51.400 --> 00:54:53.159
in the combat that I've played,
i've been playing as similar. Also,

932
00:54:53.280 --> 00:54:55.880
it's just like, yeah, I
only hold down whatever, I only switch

933
00:54:55.960 --> 00:55:00.320
characters in that tutorial bit in the
opening where they tell you should try switching

934
00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:01.360
characters and then I did it.
I just have not done it since then.

935
00:55:01.519 --> 00:55:06.039
But also, Vinny, we had
this conversation at lunch, but you

936
00:55:06.119 --> 00:55:09.239
need to leave. I'm just I'm
cleaning. I'm momping up don't do it,

937
00:55:09.280 --> 00:55:13.760
because don't do it literally unbalanced the
game. Those people need my help.

938
00:55:14.599 --> 00:55:17.159
Why would I bend the there can't
you go back there? You can

939
00:55:17.280 --> 00:55:21.360
go back there eventually. I don't
know what this is going to happen,

940
00:55:21.480 --> 00:55:23.840
because if you, if you did, a dragon could descend and light those

941
00:55:23.880 --> 00:55:29.119
people on fire. Less there is
a dragon. There are other zones you

942
00:55:29.119 --> 00:55:30.480
get. They also need your help. I don't know. I don't know

943
00:55:30.519 --> 00:55:35.360
that yet. Look, no,
no one herald should have all that power.

944
00:55:35.440 --> 00:55:37.800
You should really move on and find
some other stuff to do. Well,

945
00:55:37.119 --> 00:55:39.159
I'm kind of not sure what I'm
supposed to be doing it. They

946
00:55:39.239 --> 00:55:43.079
kind of just like they were like, oh, our spine network and I'm

947
00:55:43.079 --> 00:55:45.239
covered this person in the hinter lands
and like we should go talk to them.

948
00:55:45.679 --> 00:55:49.440
And on my way there, there's
like a billion people with exclamation points

949
00:55:49.480 --> 00:55:52.719
being like find my cat. I've
got another political problem to solve. Oh

950
00:55:52.840 --> 00:55:57.159
this guy's stole my hay and I'm
here like I'm part of the inquisition.

951
00:55:57.199 --> 00:56:00.360
I guess it's probably my duty to
go find your ring and your sword.

952
00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:04.519
And so it's been it's been really
interesting being the you know, cop in

953
00:56:04.320 --> 00:56:07.400
the Hingeles. But there's tons of
stuff to do. I think it's they,

954
00:56:07.480 --> 00:56:09.360
like Byoways weirdly had to get in
front of this and like issue statements

955
00:56:09.360 --> 00:56:13.960
saying like you should really leave this
area, like it's a design defect.

956
00:56:14.000 --> 00:56:16.760
Like I think they imbalanced the early
parts of the game. Uh. I

957
00:56:16.760 --> 00:56:22.960
think specifically to how they balanced the
normal difficulty level set against how much you

958
00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:25.519
can do in this opening zone.
If you do everything in the opening zone

959
00:56:25.559 --> 00:56:29.559
that is available to you, you
will be like five or six levels over

960
00:56:29.599 --> 00:56:35.159
everything for the rest of the game. And yeah, content, Actually I

961
00:56:35.800 --> 00:56:39.480
kind of enjoy doing that in some
games. I don't know. Yeah,

962
00:56:39.639 --> 00:56:43.840
but yeah, so you should.
Also, the other zones are way more

963
00:56:44.280 --> 00:56:46.039
The hitche lands are boring, I
like, relative to the other zide have

964
00:56:46.079 --> 00:56:49.840
you found I mean, is there
a similar level of content in all those

965
00:56:49.840 --> 00:56:52.840
submis zones all the other zones at
least that I've encountered, Like the th

966
00:56:52.000 --> 00:56:55.280
before I've gotten access to. You
jump in for about two hours, you

967
00:56:55.320 --> 00:56:59.800
explore pretty much everything, accept the
stuff like one or two quests or two

968
00:56:59.840 --> 00:57:01.320
high level for you, and then
you leave and go to the You're saying

969
00:57:01.320 --> 00:57:04.800
you do practically everything there is to
do there in about two or two and

970
00:57:04.840 --> 00:57:07.039
half years, so this this one, Okay, Opening zones the game is

971
00:57:07.079 --> 00:57:12.000
not a sequence of hinterlands like zones
one after the I'm sure there are probably

972
00:57:12.039 --> 00:57:15.039
a couple of them that are that
big, but it's like probably it seems

973
00:57:15.039 --> 00:57:17.840
like a handful of those scattered amongst
like a bunch of like smaller ones with

974
00:57:19.280 --> 00:57:22.559
extremely very like one is set in
a swamp kind of Louisiana looking area with

975
00:57:22.599 --> 00:57:28.079
a storm raging the entire time.
Another one is this really mountainous area in

976
00:57:28.119 --> 00:57:31.440
which you have this incredible moment where
like there's just a dragon and a giant

977
00:57:31.599 --> 00:57:36.519
just fighting off to the right.
Clearly not supposed to go over there,

978
00:57:36.760 --> 00:57:39.920
but you're just like scaling this mountain
at these like enormous creatures or just having

979
00:57:39.960 --> 00:57:43.400
this epic battle next to you.
And like the other zones are way more

980
00:57:43.440 --> 00:57:46.320
interesting than the hinterlands, and like
the story and the plots that kind of

981
00:57:46.320 --> 00:57:51.039
play out there are are worth seeing
as opposed to just but I'm see you're

982
00:57:51.079 --> 00:57:52.599
not gonna do it. I don't
believe I'll do it. I'll do it

983
00:57:52.599 --> 00:57:54.960
because I'm starting to get a little
board kind of running around. Yeah,

984
00:57:54.960 --> 00:57:58.599
and it definitely like you hit those
moments. Like I was in the hinterlands

985
00:57:58.639 --> 00:58:01.559
for like hours hours just chasing down
all these quests and I go talk to

986
00:58:01.559 --> 00:58:05.840
somebody and they're like, oh,
good thing, you're here, Like let

987
00:58:05.840 --> 00:58:08.000
me introduce you to to Bill and
Ed and like I have taken all these

988
00:58:08.079 --> 00:58:12.840
quests from them already and it's still
giving me like tutorial stuff after about like

989
00:58:12.920 --> 00:58:15.320
five hours of doing all these quests
in the surrounding neighborhoods. Like you should

990
00:58:15.320 --> 00:58:19.599
go see Samantha and be like,
Samantha's done, man, Like she's got

991
00:58:19.719 --> 00:58:22.400
She's like queen up. She's good, She's good. I took care of

992
00:58:22.519 --> 00:58:24.320
I've raised her up to her lineage
is, you know, seated, Like

993
00:58:24.320 --> 00:58:27.840
you should talk to her because she's
a peasant and she needs help. Remember

994
00:58:27.840 --> 00:58:30.679
that time that you cleared out the
entire Nemesis system and mortor before you had

995
00:58:30.679 --> 00:58:34.280
done any story missions. You know, sometimes they just need to point you

996
00:58:34.280 --> 00:58:36.880
a little bit, like don't do
this. It's like, got it,

997
00:58:36.880 --> 00:58:38.119
You've got a sickness. Man.
Well, I think that's what I think

998
00:58:38.159 --> 00:58:40.719
dragon age makes. I think it's
a design flaw. I think they need

999
00:58:40.760 --> 00:58:44.800
to at some point and say,
hey, like you actually have to go

1000
00:58:44.880 --> 00:58:47.519
check out these other zones because there's
an act. There is actually no reason.

1001
00:58:47.599 --> 00:58:51.360
The only reason I did was because
someone messaged me when I was talking

1002
00:58:51.400 --> 00:58:52.639
about it, was like, hey, you should probably leave. The game

1003
00:58:52.679 --> 00:58:55.559
doesn't point you out. So I've
got questioned two or three other areas I

1004
00:58:55.599 --> 00:58:59.280
think like the fallon Marsh is one
of them, and forget what the other

1005
00:58:59.280 --> 00:59:00.920
ones are called, like even storm
Coasts. Yes, I've got the like

1006
00:59:00.960 --> 00:59:04.760
I've never been there. I don't
know where those objectives came from, but

1007
00:59:04.760 --> 00:59:06.840
you should go there because you are
going to get more characters there. And

1008
00:59:06.920 --> 00:59:09.519
I go there. Yes, once
you send someone so on the the in

1009
00:59:09.559 --> 00:59:13.559
the war Counsole, when you send
out like one of your three agents like

1010
00:59:13.639 --> 00:59:16.079
that can go unlock those areas.
Once they've done their mission there, then

1011
00:59:16.079 --> 00:59:19.679
you can travel. So I did
all of the available ones of those on

1012
00:59:20.159 --> 00:59:22.719
and you can travel to those places. Okay, yeah, so like you'll

1013
00:59:22.719 --> 00:59:27.119
see that, like some of the
marks on your map will say like they'll

1014
00:59:27.119 --> 00:59:30.079
just be cleared off like you just
it be completed, and then other places

1015
00:59:30.119 --> 00:59:31.880
will say this area is like you
know now unlocked, you can explore here.

1016
00:59:32.159 --> 00:59:34.599
Let me ask you this. When
you get to the point in the

1017
00:59:34.599 --> 00:59:37.719
Henterlins and the story where the objective
is just like get enough power to go

1018
00:59:37.760 --> 00:59:40.719
to val Royo, Like is that
are you done? Once? They're pretty

1019
00:59:40.800 --> 00:59:45.679
much like if you're once, you're
hitting the power levels. Unlike the next

1020
00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:47.440
thing, you're roughly the level that
you should go. OK, And also

1021
00:59:47.519 --> 00:59:51.159
the main story stuff would advise you
on what level you should be that So

1022
00:59:51.199 --> 00:59:52.360
what we're saying is when I get
enough power to move on, I should

1023
00:59:52.360 --> 00:59:54.679
move on. You should think about
it. At least I go check out

1024
00:59:54.679 --> 00:59:59.480
that area. You can always leave
and go back at tip. But yeah,

1025
00:59:59.519 --> 01:00:00.480
I really like the world in that
game. I didn't replay the Dragon

1026
01:00:00.480 --> 01:00:04.320
Age, and it's all politics well
realize, which I think might turn off

1027
01:00:04.360 --> 01:00:08.159
some people. But it's literally just
class race and like other social politics and

1028
01:00:08.320 --> 01:00:13.960
ideologies and that stuff all is super
interesting. I think, Yeah, I'm

1029
01:00:13.960 --> 01:00:17.000
in the middle of like you know, it's the primary conflict early on,

1030
01:00:17.079 --> 01:00:24.280
the fanatical templar slaughtering, the major
vice versa. Like that stuff is.

1031
01:00:24.440 --> 01:00:28.000
I mean it starts with a like
you know, a fantasy terrorist attack right

1032
01:00:28.440 --> 01:00:30.639
right, and like literally very first
thing it's actually hit a start, it

1033
01:00:30.679 --> 01:00:35.440
goes Yeah, that intro is fantastic, Like it really kicks off literally with

1034
01:00:35.440 --> 01:00:37.760
a bang. So it's great.
Yeah, the game seems cool. Do

1035
01:00:37.800 --> 01:00:42.039
you watch that loop the guy's marching
for Yes, I didn't watch that for

1036
01:00:42.039 --> 01:00:44.079
a while. It's a nice loop. Yeah, it's a good loop.

1037
01:00:44.159 --> 01:00:45.239
You know. It's weird. Also, is that on the PS four version

1038
01:00:46.800 --> 01:00:50.440
you can't you can't record it?
Yeah, when when it's checking for the

1039
01:00:50.480 --> 01:00:53.400
dragon Age servers or like the oh
yeah, it comes up, like you

1040
01:00:53.400 --> 01:00:57.039
know, with the recording stuff in
the PS four at least it'll say like

1041
01:00:57.199 --> 01:01:00.920
this section is blocked, like you
can't record this, and that's only while

1042
01:01:00.920 --> 01:01:02.840
it's checking for the servers, and
then as soon as it connects or doesn't

1043
01:01:02.840 --> 01:01:06.199
connect to the servers, it says, hey, you can record again.

1044
01:01:06.320 --> 01:01:08.840
It's just odd. I wonder why
they don't want you to record an error.

1045
01:01:09.000 --> 01:01:13.800
I guess basically it okay, Yeah, yeah, that hasn't stopped other

1046
01:01:13.800 --> 01:01:17.480
people from recording other errors. So
yeah, and having activisions send out flags

1047
01:01:17.519 --> 01:01:22.400
for it. Yeah, we talked
about that last week Farcry four. Yeah,

1048
01:01:22.440 --> 01:01:23.480
I am playing through it again.
Yeah, I saw you on there.

1049
01:01:23.559 --> 01:01:27.440
I've been playing a ton of a
two. Did you like Farkry three.

1050
01:01:27.679 --> 01:01:30.000
Yeah, do you want to do
more of that? Sure? Dude,

1051
01:01:30.079 --> 01:01:34.119
we should totally play farky. Okay, remember how remember how you said

1052
01:01:34.119 --> 01:01:36.519
The Shadow of Mortor was like a
game made for you? Yeah, I

1053
01:01:36.599 --> 01:01:38.000
feel this is also a game made
for you. Really, it is just

1054
01:01:38.079 --> 01:01:43.840
chock fucking full of distractions. Yeah, there's there's a ton of everywhere,

1055
01:01:43.960 --> 01:01:46.400
so much side stuff in that game. I almost feel like it's overwhelming,

1056
01:01:46.440 --> 01:01:50.400
but I feel like it's regimented just
well enough that you can tell, like,

1057
01:01:50.440 --> 01:01:53.280
all right, this is the next
story mission. Sometimes the map gets

1058
01:01:53.320 --> 01:01:59.599
in such a way that it's it
is difficult to actually see, but it's

1059
01:01:59.639 --> 01:02:00.679
like, you know, there's the
secondary level of like, oh, there's

1060
01:02:00.679 --> 01:02:05.920
convoys coming through to hijack and like
hunting missions. There are towers to climb,

1061
01:02:06.039 --> 01:02:08.519
Oh fantastic radio towers. Yeah,
well yes, okay, there are

1062
01:02:08.599 --> 01:02:14.239
bell towers probably being used for radio. There's there are propaganda posters to tear

1063
01:02:14.280 --> 01:02:15.519
down. Okay, get a grappling
hook. Yeah, you get a grappling

1064
01:02:15.559 --> 01:02:22.159
hook and you only use in special
areas. You get a wing super can

1065
01:02:22.199 --> 01:02:24.920
you trip and take fall damage off
of like two feet? Like okay,

1066
01:02:24.960 --> 01:02:28.239
it's a little bit better than that. It is a little bit better than

1067
01:02:28.280 --> 01:02:31.679
that. I saw a video of
someone and co op riding whatever that flying

1068
01:02:31.679 --> 01:02:36.480
machine is. You can get shooting
the grappling hook to the bottom of it,

1069
01:02:36.519 --> 01:02:38.800
and then just you can fly each
other. That's a good idea.

1070
01:02:38.880 --> 01:02:42.280
Yeah, that's neat. That's like
the stuff they promised with mercenaries too.

1071
01:02:42.280 --> 01:02:45.079
It's like you'd fly by in a
helicopter something that I would grapple hook and

1072
01:02:45.079 --> 01:02:46.360
shoot underneath it, and it just
never really worked out. And you can

1073
01:02:46.480 --> 01:02:51.280
promised a lot of things and mercenaries
to Yeah, well oil Tech, have

1074
01:02:51.360 --> 01:02:53.519
you guys tried a lot of co
op and far cry for because I can

1075
01:02:53.559 --> 01:02:59.079
do story missions and then is it
mainly just open world hunting over and outpost

1076
01:02:59.159 --> 01:03:02.000
but the outposts necessarily like yeah,
story stories. I heard that you can't

1077
01:03:02.039 --> 01:03:06.599
do story missions because I'm planning to
do that might be true. It would

1078
01:03:06.679 --> 01:03:08.400
kind of make sense if it did
if I mean, not that that's good,

1079
01:03:08.480 --> 01:03:14.159
but it so yeah, yeah,
yeah, you get additional story missions,

1080
01:03:14.360 --> 01:03:17.679
uh with what was it like the
early copies of the game come with

1081
01:03:17.719 --> 01:03:21.440
like more missions with HRK where you
you know, it's like you do stuff.

1082
01:03:21.960 --> 01:03:23.239
He's the player too, character you
go talk to him. I've only

1083
01:03:23.239 --> 01:03:29.079
seen her as something the Super Terrible
and and you're like, man, they

1084
01:03:29.159 --> 01:03:34.039
just they really wanted to just make
like a Danny McBride character for this,

1085
01:03:34.280 --> 01:03:37.760
And then that got rolled up the
first time and said his spiel and drove

1086
01:03:37.800 --> 01:03:43.760
off and I went to share and
hit save video. So stupid? Is

1087
01:03:43.760 --> 01:03:46.360
he the guy that's in all the
farkright four ads for the DLC with the

1088
01:03:46.400 --> 01:03:49.880
giant spear gun that just says like, here, look at that dick.

1089
01:03:50.039 --> 01:03:52.079
Yeah, basically all right, really, yeah, yeah, that's that's herk

1090
01:03:52.280 --> 01:03:54.480
Okay, he's he's supposed to be
an idiot. I mean it's not,

1091
01:03:54.599 --> 01:03:58.400
you know, but yeah, I
don't know. It comes across I feel

1092
01:03:58.440 --> 01:04:00.440
like, you know that game.
I like it for the same reason that

1093
01:04:00.519 --> 01:04:05.239
I feel like there's still some residual
feelings about how Froccry three stories should have

1094
01:04:05.280 --> 01:04:08.880
gone for me, where I'm playing
it and going like, there's no way

1095
01:04:08.920 --> 01:04:12.239
this is serious, Like they have
to know, right, it's not.

1096
01:04:12.320 --> 01:04:15.119
It's not in the same way that
Frocry three was. But it's this moment

1097
01:04:15.119 --> 01:04:16.760
where it's like you're like a twenty
four year old kid grew up in the

1098
01:04:16.840 --> 01:04:19.679
US, so yeah, coming back
to you know, the country where you

1099
01:04:19.679 --> 01:04:21.679
were born. You moved out of
there when you're like three or something like

1100
01:04:21.719 --> 01:04:26.280
that, no special training that they
allude to or anything like that, and

1101
01:04:26.280 --> 01:04:30.079
all of a sudden, you're like
fucking wingsuiting out off the Himalayas and just

1102
01:04:30.239 --> 01:04:33.199
gunning down tons of fucking people and
skinning elephantsigot bullets out of your arm,

1103
01:04:33.480 --> 01:04:35.639
right, yeah, like like all
the shit that you can do as the

1104
01:04:35.639 --> 01:04:40.519
player character that like you, no
one would be able to. Actually the

1105
01:04:40.559 --> 01:04:44.320
story. I think the story is
really well handled as long as you don't

1106
01:04:44.320 --> 01:04:46.280
consider like that identity aspect of it, like the unlikely heroes, and I

1107
01:04:46.280 --> 01:04:49.239
don't I don't mind I like,
I don't mind it that much. It's

1108
01:04:49.280 --> 01:04:51.800
just it's just crazy. I almost
one of those things that like makes me

1109
01:04:51.840 --> 01:04:56.519
assume that, like none of this
has really happened, right, It makes

1110
01:04:56.559 --> 01:04:59.719
the whole thing seemed like the game
will totally work better if you were just

1111
01:04:59.760 --> 01:05:03.000
like a nameless, silent protagonist with
no actual connection to this stuff and you

1112
01:05:03.079 --> 01:05:06.840
just got embroiled in it, because
yeah, it's like, so, why

1113
01:05:06.880 --> 01:05:12.480
does everybody pronounce the main character's name
differently? Because so he pronounced it is

1114
01:05:12.880 --> 01:05:15.440
because he was so he I don't
know if I'm giving the game too much

1115
01:05:15.440 --> 01:05:17.920
credit in thinking that it is.
In fact, he's American eyes. He

1116
01:05:18.079 --> 01:05:20.599
is, Okay, so he moved
to the US when he was three,

1117
01:05:20.760 --> 01:05:26.360
okay, with his mom when they
escaped the country. So Americans pronounce it

1118
01:05:26.480 --> 01:05:30.639
a J gale, Right, he
will often pronounce it aj gale, but

1119
01:05:30.679 --> 01:05:33.519
the Natives pronounce it so at first. Because there's also a couple of like

1120
01:05:33.760 --> 01:05:36.840
DJ's on the radio, Yeah,
that pronounce the names differently, like so

1121
01:05:38.400 --> 01:05:42.039
like it's pagan men, but like
once every two three hours you'll hear somebody

1122
01:05:42.039 --> 01:05:45.639
say like pagan men or something like
that. Yeah, and that really liked

1123
01:05:45.679 --> 01:05:47.480
video direction. Yeah, that's that's
probably just vo direction, but it's it's

1124
01:05:47.519 --> 01:05:50.800
it's nice if they address the main
character's name going back and forth the Yeah,

1125
01:05:50.800 --> 01:05:53.880
they don't address it. It's just
just left for you to come.

1126
01:05:54.800 --> 01:05:58.440
Yeah. Do they allude to like
what this guy did back in the States

1127
01:05:58.519 --> 01:06:00.599
or I mean, could he be
some bear girls guy or is he just

1128
01:06:00.639 --> 01:06:01.880
supposed to be some dude that you
know, he's just a product of the

1129
01:06:01.920 --> 01:06:05.159
American education. He just yeah,
he doesn't like they don't they had no

1130
01:06:05.199 --> 01:06:08.760
point and they say like, oh
you, by the way, you were

1131
01:06:09.159 --> 01:06:12.639
especial, especially for here twenty four, but they leave it open to where

1132
01:06:12.639 --> 01:06:15.920
he could conceivably be this like super
trainer ye would come up. Yeah,

1133
01:06:16.199 --> 01:06:19.199
So who cares? I think totally
who cares, because I think I think

1134
01:06:19.199 --> 01:06:25.599
games fail at trying to rationalize that
part of the player experience and just going

1135
01:06:25.880 --> 01:06:30.480
the exactly like at no point is
that like ruining the game for me?

1136
01:06:30.559 --> 01:06:32.639
But it's one of those things that
like when when I stop and think about

1137
01:06:32.679 --> 01:06:35.039
it, it reminds me of Far
Right three in that way of just like

1138
01:06:35.440 --> 01:06:38.679
is this whole thing VR, because
you know, none of this could be

1139
01:06:38.679 --> 01:06:42.679
happening in this person the mysticism stuff
in it too, right there? Yeah,

1140
01:06:42.679 --> 01:06:44.920
this has like you go to Shankra
Law in this game, okay,

1141
01:06:44.960 --> 01:06:49.480
and you have a ghost tiger that
you can do. No, no,

1142
01:06:49.559 --> 01:06:53.800
You're you're kind of like shang Las
has seen better days and you're going through

1143
01:06:53.840 --> 01:06:58.360
there with a spirit knife, a
mystical time slowing bow and arrow, and

1144
01:06:58.400 --> 01:07:01.159
a fucking tiger that you just stick
on people and the tiger turns invisible.

1145
01:07:01.400 --> 01:07:05.840
Yeah, okay, do you have
a name tiger? Do you ever touch

1146
01:07:05.880 --> 01:07:10.199
like a roast thing on the wall
and just go, I want those so

1147
01:07:10.280 --> 01:07:13.599
that those give you carmon bonuses,
those money wheels or whatever are throughout the

1148
01:07:13.639 --> 01:07:16.800
game is collectible. You never get
to actually you never get to like do

1149
01:07:16.920 --> 01:07:19.039
what you want to do with them. But yes, they are in fact

1150
01:07:19.039 --> 01:07:23.599
there, all right. I like
the rebellion stuff is not bad so far.

1151
01:07:23.719 --> 01:07:27.360
Like I made my first story choice
and like they kind of stick it

1152
01:07:27.400 --> 01:07:32.239
to you. Yes, they deliberately
make every single story choice fucked. Yeah,

1153
01:07:32.280 --> 01:07:34.159
Like I had a hard time choosing. I was like, my girlfriend

1154
01:07:34.159 --> 01:07:35.519
was sitting there. I was like, what do you think I should do?

1155
01:07:35.559 --> 01:07:40.960
And then when you make your choice
the other leader of the rebellion they

1156
01:07:40.960 --> 01:07:45.679
are. They are really good at
making all there's no like here's the good

1157
01:07:45.880 --> 01:07:47.000
here's a paragon, here's the Redigade, here's the good guys, here's the

1158
01:07:47.039 --> 01:07:49.840
bad guys. It's just like every
decision you make it sort of fucked.

1159
01:07:50.239 --> 01:07:56.119
It's kind of it's like you're playing
again. Uh so the ending. So

1160
01:07:56.239 --> 01:07:59.559
there are points in that game where
you have a gun trained on someone and

1161
01:07:59.559 --> 01:08:02.239
you can pull the trigger or not. Okay, I need to see what

1162
01:08:02.280 --> 01:08:08.079
happens at the end of that game
if you don't, okay, because when

1163
01:08:08.079 --> 01:08:13.079
you do it, just it.
I knew. I knew before you said

1164
01:08:13.119 --> 01:08:15.519
it that you were going to say, I need to know what happens when

1165
01:08:15.559 --> 01:08:16.760
I don't pull the trigger. Yeah, because I know you, Jeff,

1166
01:08:17.039 --> 01:08:19.920
Yeah, you pull the trigger.
Considering considering what they did with that,

1167
01:08:19.920 --> 01:08:25.079
that kind of easter egg, like
fifteen minute long, so you're like the

1168
01:08:25.159 --> 01:08:30.000
you know, fifteen minutes they find
the secret second ending that the creative director

1169
01:08:30.039 --> 01:08:33.720
was talking about another one. He
claimed that there is a second secret ending

1170
01:08:33.720 --> 01:08:41.560
that people haven't it's the fifteen minute
thing is is that you're talking about another

1171
01:08:41.560 --> 01:08:44.359
one. Okay, Yeah, so
that's awesome. Yeah, there's a second

1172
01:08:44.399 --> 01:08:46.319
one. That's like I think that's
what that's like. That's like straight out

1173
01:08:46.359 --> 01:08:50.199
of Chronic Trigger where it's like like
there are multiple points where you could realistically

1174
01:08:50.279 --> 01:08:53.760
resolve the storyline. So we're just
gonna let you do anyway. I think

1175
01:08:53.760 --> 01:08:56.439
that's awesome. I think I think
that's like just really novel and clever and

1176
01:08:56.479 --> 01:08:59.880
likes a Nister Egg. That's yeah. So the end of the game actually

1177
01:09:00.039 --> 01:09:02.039
kind of gives away that that ending
exists. Well, maybe it's only you

1178
01:09:02.079 --> 01:09:06.439
realize in retrospect if you know it
exists. But like it's very much like

1179
01:09:06.479 --> 01:09:09.399
if you've seen the video of like
I mean, at the beginning of the

1180
01:09:09.439 --> 01:09:12.319
game, Like at the very beginning
of the game, it's like, hey,

1181
01:09:12.920 --> 01:09:15.560
wait here, I'll be right back, and the ending is if you

1182
01:09:15.600 --> 01:09:18.880
wait there for twelve minutes or thirteen
minutes or whatever, he comes back and

1183
01:09:18.920 --> 01:09:24.439
then the same is never acknowledged then. So so you get to the end

1184
01:09:24.439 --> 01:09:28.319
of the game and he's like all
you had to do is wait there for

1185
01:09:29.680 --> 01:09:33.159
not listening to us, which is
like a funny way to kind of allude

1186
01:09:33.199 --> 01:09:36.600
to, like, look, you
maybe could have done this all this plug

1187
01:09:36.640 --> 01:09:40.880
shit, yeah, all these ghost
tigers, yea, all these ghost tigers.

1188
01:09:40.960 --> 01:09:43.119
Yeah, that game is just you
know, some good, clean,

1189
01:09:43.199 --> 01:09:45.600
dumb, open world fun totally the
way the first or the last one was

1190
01:09:45.680 --> 01:09:48.319
like this. So this time I'm
going through and doing like way more of

1191
01:09:48.319 --> 01:09:51.359
the side stuff and you know,
trying to unlock the full skill tree because

1192
01:09:51.359 --> 01:09:54.840
it's like one of tho things where
it's like you can't unlock this skill until

1193
01:09:54.840 --> 01:09:58.439
you've completed two of this side mission
type and stuff like that. So I've

1194
01:09:58.479 --> 01:10:00.920
just been going back through and doing
that and just really enjoying it. It's

1195
01:10:00.840 --> 01:10:03.720
it's a lot of fun. But
yeah, it's very similar to farkright three,

1196
01:10:03.760 --> 01:10:06.279
Like on some level, I feel
like I would have been just as

1197
01:10:06.279 --> 01:10:10.039
well served by going and playing Park
right there. Again, I've thought about

1198
01:10:10.079 --> 01:10:13.359
doing that actually since they started playing
this, like really haven't fun playing it.

1199
01:10:13.399 --> 01:10:16.399
But I don't like the world as
much. Like they divided land masses

1200
01:10:16.439 --> 01:10:18.760
in the first game with water,
or not the first game, but the

1201
01:10:18.760 --> 01:10:21.640
previous game. Yeah, yeah,
like they used water last time to divide

1202
01:10:21.680 --> 01:10:25.279
like a lot islands and stuff.
In this case it's mountains, and yeah,

1203
01:10:25.319 --> 01:10:29.479
it's mountains inherently much more annoying to
navigate the world because even with like

1204
01:10:29.520 --> 01:10:31.680
the little helicopters, which generally I
think are amazing, Yeah yeah, but

1205
01:10:31.680 --> 01:10:34.880
those things can't go past certain heights, so you can't even fly over a

1206
01:10:34.880 --> 01:10:38.239
lot of the mountains. Well,
so it's only the mountains that prevent you

1207
01:10:38.279 --> 01:10:40.800
from getting to the north generally.
Oh is that what those are? Yeah?

1208
01:10:40.840 --> 01:10:44.079
There there, that's it's blocking your
progress like that. Basically there the

1209
01:10:44.079 --> 01:10:47.159
mountains cut off everything down to a
bridge, and so basically you are working

1210
01:10:47.199 --> 01:10:49.960
in the south and then eventually you
get the mission of just like fuck this,

1211
01:10:50.039 --> 01:10:53.359
let's take the bridge, and then
that's the thing that opens up the

1212
01:10:53.359 --> 01:10:56.279
rest of the world. Plus you
can just fast travel the outposts once you're

1213
01:10:56.359 --> 01:10:59.680
Yeah, you capture room and stuff. So it's yeah, so it's not

1214
01:10:59.760 --> 01:11:02.079
that because I haven't had that much
trouble. Did you guys immediately change the

1215
01:11:02.159 --> 01:11:05.239
vehicle controls too? Yes? Like
the up to go up? Yes?

1216
01:11:05.319 --> 01:11:09.079
What is that? I kept it? I don't know whatever, I'm not

1217
01:11:09.159 --> 01:11:11.800
driving that, understand. I understand
why they do it because it lets you

1218
01:11:11.840 --> 01:11:17.039
aim and shoot properly. Right,
what do you mean proper you like inverted

1219
01:11:17.079 --> 01:11:19.479
control? No? No, no, no, So the default vehicle controls

1220
01:11:19.640 --> 01:11:24.600
is all on the left stick steer
and accelerate, break and reversal on the

1221
01:11:24.640 --> 01:11:26.840
left stick. But you need to
be able to look out the side window

1222
01:11:26.840 --> 01:11:30.319
to do vehicle takedowns and shoot people
like that's crucial. I don't know.

1223
01:11:30.399 --> 01:11:33.039
I don't know how. I haven't
tried it with the others. Accelerate left,

1224
01:11:33.039 --> 01:11:36.239
trigger, break and we left bumper? Is you can shoot? You

1225
01:11:36.279 --> 01:11:40.199
can? What is that game?
I was it Lucky and Chase. It

1226
01:11:40.239 --> 01:11:44.279
was Lucky and Wild, Lucky wild
yourself. Yeah, exactly. That's yeah,

1227
01:11:44.640 --> 01:11:48.760
aiming is hard. It should come
also come with maybe the maybe the

1228
01:11:48.840 --> 01:11:51.039
dumbest thing you can do in that
game, or one of my favorite dumb

1229
01:11:51.079 --> 01:11:54.199
things to do in that game is
you can push right on the deep had

1230
01:11:54.199 --> 01:11:57.039
to throw a rocket anytime to try
to distract guys when you're in a vehicle,

1231
01:11:57.079 --> 01:11:59.560
you just fucking throw a rock through
the front window. That's like,

1232
01:11:59.680 --> 01:12:00.840
I don't so I break out the
window in every car that I'm in and

1233
01:12:00.920 --> 01:12:02.760
if not with the gun, then
with the stupid rock and then you can

1234
01:12:02.760 --> 01:12:05.960
shoot freely. Yeah, it's really
stupid. The rock thing is handy.

1235
01:12:06.000 --> 01:12:09.520
Like if you have to kill rhinos
for crafting, something like I'll put C

1236
01:12:09.680 --> 01:12:13.800
four on the ground and just throw
a rocket a rhino's face. And that's

1237
01:12:13.840 --> 01:12:17.159
crazy. If you want to kill
rhinos, get the sticky grenades upgrade and

1238
01:12:17.199 --> 01:12:20.760
just throw two grenades on they stick
to the rhino and then you just finished

1239
01:12:20.760 --> 01:12:26.279
off with the gun and then skin
it and then skin it. So bears

1240
01:12:26.319 --> 01:12:28.800
if you if I think, if
you kill an animal with explosives, the

1241
01:12:28.800 --> 01:12:30.920
skin is damaged, okay, So
like if you blow up a bear,

1242
01:12:30.079 --> 01:12:33.760
yeah, the skin is not gonna
work, Okay, but with a rhino.

1243
01:12:33.840 --> 01:12:35.600
So that's why I finished it off
with a gun, just in case

1244
01:12:35.920 --> 01:12:40.640
it's three grenades might actually damage.
But I don't need that anymore. I

1245
01:12:40.640 --> 01:12:44.720
got a good wallet. Oh good, because you need four rhinos like this

1246
01:12:44.800 --> 01:12:47.479
for this wallet, it's going to
require four rhinos. You're only what you

1247
01:12:47.560 --> 01:12:50.199
what they don't tell you is you're
only using the scrotal fold of each rhino.

1248
01:12:50.920 --> 01:12:55.119
What's a really fucking nice wallet?
A million rupees? But so wasteful,

1249
01:12:55.199 --> 01:12:59.359
so wasteful. Yeah, they don't
use a million rupees? What is

1250
01:12:59.399 --> 01:13:02.640
that? How's that convert? Not? Well, like you know old beepers

1251
01:13:02.680 --> 01:13:05.079
that are out of date it self
for like four thousand rupees or something.

1252
01:13:05.159 --> 01:13:09.960
So what was the Vietnamese thing?
Was that Don song? Yeah? Yeah,

1253
01:13:10.039 --> 01:13:13.000
yeah yeah. That game's fun.
Yeah, it is a lot of

1254
01:13:13.000 --> 01:13:15.800
fun. Oh what else came out
recently? Grant that Onto five? Anybody

1255
01:13:15.199 --> 01:13:19.920
playing on the new consoles? Yeah, I messed with it. I think

1256
01:13:19.920 --> 01:13:21.720
the time about last week. I
messed with it, and when like this

1257
01:13:21.760 --> 01:13:25.079
is cool, and but I have
zero desire to actually go back, and

1258
01:13:25.279 --> 01:13:27.560
I'm gonna get back to it.
I just got derailed by Dragon Age and

1259
01:13:27.600 --> 01:13:30.159
the far prye for now. Yeah, there's a tongue that I'm trying to

1260
01:13:30.199 --> 01:13:31.840
catch up on. It's like,
I really want to play this new Grant

1261
01:13:32.239 --> 01:13:35.039
of five. Yeah, it probably
makes that game inherently less interesting for a

1262
01:13:35.079 --> 01:13:38.439
lot of people for now. Yeah, wait for the PC version. I'm

1263
01:13:38.439 --> 01:13:41.039
more way more interested to see what
the modern community does with that game than

1264
01:13:41.079 --> 01:13:45.079
I am in the higher resversion on
the new consoles. Look real nice,

1265
01:13:45.159 --> 01:13:50.079
fatrid. I brought my WU on
a plane. You sent me a picture

1266
01:13:50.159 --> 01:13:55.760
yesterday of your we you in the
back pouch of the Yeah, well,

1267
01:13:55.800 --> 01:13:59.359
so I checked to see the what
you know, I I checked in the

1268
01:13:59.439 --> 01:14:01.560
night before and then it said what
what kind of plane you're gonna be on?

1269
01:14:01.600 --> 01:14:04.680
And I've checked online and it said
there were no outlets, and so

1270
01:14:05.640 --> 01:14:10.840
what if there are outlets? No, yeah, it's I've I've checked that

1271
01:14:10.960 --> 01:14:13.640
like WiFi, stay asked before.
And there's why I find the plane because

1272
01:14:13.640 --> 01:14:16.159
maybe they changed so uh. And
plus I was bringing I wanted to bring

1273
01:14:16.159 --> 01:14:18.840
out the EU anyway, and I
wasn't. It's not it's not gonna fit

1274
01:14:18.880 --> 01:14:21.199
in my normal bag. It's got
my laptop. I'm not gonna check that

1275
01:14:21.279 --> 01:14:24.000
in. So it's like, if
I'm gonna bring this with me, I'm

1276
01:14:24.039 --> 01:14:26.800
gonna have to carry it on anyway. So so it brought that with me

1277
01:14:26.840 --> 01:14:30.520
and then fortunately it was a power
outlet down there and because that sends that

1278
01:14:30.520 --> 01:14:33.680
separate wireless signal. Yeah, I
just shoved them with you in the underneath

1279
01:14:33.680 --> 01:14:39.920
the trade table and I've got the
game pad and I'm sitting there playing in

1280
01:14:39.960 --> 01:14:44.279
attitude different place. So it was
ratulations, you've out weirded Stephen Totillo and

1281
01:14:44.359 --> 01:14:47.039
his whole plane in the airport waiting
room. Yeah, you've actually you've taken

1282
01:14:47.079 --> 01:14:49.279
it to the next there was.
I was. So I was in like

1283
01:14:49.359 --> 01:14:53.079
group two A boarding, which I
was very excited about because it meant I

1284
01:14:53.079 --> 01:14:56.800
could get my set up all put
together before anyone gets on the flight out

1285
01:14:56.800 --> 01:14:58.920
of the window. Uh no,
I was in the aisle, okay,

1286
01:14:59.359 --> 01:15:01.760
And so so I got that all
all set up. The only like weird

1287
01:15:01.800 --> 01:15:06.720
parts were when the because that the
game pad lasts what like three hours like

1288
01:15:06.800 --> 01:15:10.039
that, it's like a four and
half hour flight. So I got most

1289
01:15:10.039 --> 01:15:12.319
of the way through the game,
the second half of the game that I

1290
01:15:12.359 --> 01:15:15.479
was working through when the game pad
was going to die, and then it

1291
01:15:15.560 --> 01:15:18.279
came to the point where well,
now I need to drop the power outlets,

1292
01:15:18.399 --> 01:15:21.000
and so then I had to go
back up into my bag like get

1293
01:15:21.000 --> 01:15:26.520
out the second charge on it,
and then ask the two year old that

1294
01:15:26.560 --> 01:15:30.359
was next to me job on the
way so I could change the power outlet

1295
01:15:30.880 --> 01:15:34.199
put that in again, and then
underneath my tray is then now the game

1296
01:15:34.239 --> 01:15:40.239
pad and the Weiu machine. What
You're a monster. It meant I got

1297
01:15:40.239 --> 01:15:43.680
to finish paying at A two on
the flight and that game is unfucking believable.

1298
01:15:44.600 --> 01:15:47.239
I played, you know, maybe
two hours of the original. I

1299
01:15:47.239 --> 01:15:50.760
don't play character action games, and
largely I don't play them because they share

1300
01:15:50.800 --> 01:15:54.600
a lot in common with fighting games. For me, in which the ones

1301
01:15:54.640 --> 01:15:57.319
I've played, it's a lot of
like memorize these button patterns, like to

1302
01:15:57.319 --> 01:16:00.159
do special moves, and I just
memorization does not come very naturally to me,

1303
01:16:00.239 --> 01:16:03.039
and so fighting games don't come very
naturally to me. So a lot

1304
01:16:03.039 --> 01:16:05.520
of character action games don't come very
naturally to me, so I've tended to

1305
01:16:05.520 --> 01:16:09.840
avoid them. But what I love
about being added too is it feels like

1306
01:16:09.840 --> 01:16:13.680
a character action game made for people
that don't like them, And specifically it's

1307
01:16:13.680 --> 01:16:15.600
the fact that it's a game built
around dodging. It's like, you actually

1308
01:16:15.680 --> 01:16:18.640
should not be focusing on fighting.
You should be focusing on dodging. And

1309
01:16:18.640 --> 01:16:21.880
because when you dodge, it activates
which time and which time is you know

1310
01:16:21.920 --> 01:16:26.560
what second and a half in which
everything moves very slow and you can attack,

1311
01:16:26.560 --> 01:16:29.399
and at that point you could just
spam whatever you want, and you

1312
01:16:29.399 --> 01:16:31.760
could be doing more powerful moves,
but you should always be focusing on just

1313
01:16:31.800 --> 01:16:35.119
getting out of the way of whoever's
in front of you. I've thought that

1314
01:16:35.199 --> 01:16:40.039
really freed me up to focusing on
just timing based stuff. I'm really good

1315
01:16:40.039 --> 01:16:42.680
at rhythm games. I really like
that, and really good platforming games,

1316
01:16:42.880 --> 01:16:45.319
so those things are like very timing
based in a way that I focus on

1317
01:16:45.359 --> 01:16:48.680
watching the action on screen, dodging
when it's appropriate, and then just sort

1318
01:16:48.720 --> 01:16:51.000
of matching on the buttons and it
all works out. Well. That's what's

1319
01:16:51.000 --> 01:16:54.560
really great about it is it works
for guys like us that kind of have

1320
01:16:54.640 --> 01:16:57.560
a spamming approach because I do the
exact same thing. I focused on dodging

1321
01:16:57.600 --> 01:16:59.439
and then I'm just like, well, I'll hit this for a while and

1322
01:16:59.520 --> 01:17:01.239
some cool it will happen. Yeah, But for those people that do want

1323
01:17:01.239 --> 01:17:03.840
to really deep dive on it's all
there. Yeah, like you can go

1324
01:17:03.880 --> 01:17:06.239
to the trials men, you like, when you're just out in space or

1325
01:17:06.239 --> 01:17:10.000
whatever, the huge list of commands
and you can memorize the like okay,

1326
01:17:10.000 --> 01:17:12.920
so this is a kick kick,
rotate around once and then punch, punch

1327
01:17:13.000 --> 01:17:15.239
hold, you know, like you
can do that, yeah, or you

1328
01:17:15.279 --> 01:17:16.640
can do it the way we do
it, and yes, really fun either

1329
01:17:16.680 --> 01:17:19.039
way. Yeah, just like walked
into an all and on meeting, like

1330
01:17:19.159 --> 01:17:24.000
I found my people. Finally people
understand I cannot. I cannot deal with

1331
01:17:24.000 --> 01:17:27.720
the memorization stuff. That game is
so good about letting you play the way

1332
01:17:27.760 --> 01:17:30.800
you want to play. It totally
applies for both sort of categories of players.

1333
01:17:30.800 --> 01:17:32.880
And then it's you know, one
of the ways I've tried to describe

1334
01:17:32.880 --> 01:17:35.159
it to people that don't know when
to play those games like did you see

1335
01:17:35.159 --> 01:17:39.720
a Seras Wrath And you're like,
man, that game is fucking crazy,

1336
01:17:40.079 --> 01:17:45.439
but game wise barely like barely A
game like Being at a two is like

1337
01:17:45.119 --> 01:17:50.079
a spectacular playing game that also handles
spectacle in a way that it's just so

1338
01:17:50.159 --> 01:17:55.640
goddamn impressive. It's somehow manages to
be extremely epic and very intimate at the

1339
01:17:55.640 --> 01:17:58.680
same time, where there's so much
going on around you, and yet you're

1340
01:17:58.800 --> 01:18:01.199
very much focused on like what's happening
with you and the characters around you.

1341
01:18:01.239 --> 01:18:05.720
Like it. The way it manages
scale is just it's it's It is literally

1342
01:18:05.800 --> 01:18:11.880
unbelievable because it keeps stacking and getting
crazier in a way that it should.

1343
01:18:11.960 --> 01:18:14.359
You think you think it's done to
yeah, you think it's done. It's

1344
01:18:14.399 --> 01:18:17.079
like, oh no, it's not. It's not very successive. Encounter just

1345
01:18:17.079 --> 01:18:20.840
just ups the bar by by several
orders of magnitude. Also, also they

1346
01:18:20.840 --> 01:18:26.439
manage that scale on quote unquote old
hardware, which is pretty impressive. Yeah,

1347
01:18:26.439 --> 01:18:28.680
Like and it's you know, it's
it's the frame the frame rate,

1348
01:18:28.720 --> 01:18:30.880
you know, gets a little bit
weird when you're exploring around, but then

1349
01:18:30.920 --> 01:18:33.319
as soon as combat because you know, the game zones off combat, So

1350
01:18:33.600 --> 01:18:36.239
that's when the sixty frames a second
like is rock Saw Like I think it

1351
01:18:36.279 --> 01:18:39.840
hit maybe one or two like frame
rate it took ups the whole game.

1352
01:18:39.920 --> 01:18:44.319
But otherwise it is a damn impressive
game. That's the only bummer part about

1353
01:18:44.319 --> 01:18:46.399
playing on the game pad is that
it's kind of fuzzy, like you lose

1354
01:18:46.399 --> 01:18:48.600
a little bit. I think the
only place that really suffers a little bit

1355
01:18:48.680 --> 01:18:51.279
like the world design, which is
just kind of open and it's sort of

1356
01:18:51.319 --> 01:18:55.159
spartan, like there's not really a
lot to explore or fight. But like,

1357
01:18:55.199 --> 01:19:00.159
the enemies in that game are so
fuckings are just so ridiculous. So

1358
01:19:00.159 --> 01:19:02.119
many different kinds, yeah, so
many different weapons, all all the heavenly

1359
01:19:02.239 --> 01:19:04.560
enemies, but I think are my
favorite. Like it just they're just so

1360
01:19:04.760 --> 01:19:09.439
twisted and just bizarre looking. How
many boss fights are in that game.

1361
01:19:09.560 --> 01:19:12.880
There's like mid boss level size yeahs. And then there's the Giant flight.

1362
01:19:12.960 --> 01:19:15.840
There are things that it calls boss
fights that don't really feel they just feel

1363
01:19:15.880 --> 01:19:19.159
like longer enemy encounters. But yeah, there's there's Oh god, that game's

1364
01:19:19.199 --> 01:19:21.720
great. That games fantastic. It's
it's just this really great thing like the

1365
01:19:23.159 --> 01:19:26.439
sort of quote unquote optional I forgot
how you pronounce it, mel i am

1366
01:19:26.520 --> 01:19:30.159
or whatever, you know what that
thing is like little are doing all of

1367
01:19:30.159 --> 01:19:33.720
those ye me? And that's what
I think is great about those because they're

1368
01:19:33.800 --> 01:19:38.239
just difficult enough that you feel like
you can do them, so that even

1369
01:19:38.279 --> 01:19:41.159
when I do fail them, like
six or seven times. I'm constantly to

1370
01:19:41.199 --> 01:19:44.000
myself, I know, never to
actually do it. No, yeah,

1371
01:19:44.000 --> 01:19:45.560
they're they're only about the only weird
things. I wish they just let you

1372
01:19:45.600 --> 01:19:48.399
retry them instead of like sending you
back to the beginning of that room and

1373
01:19:48.399 --> 01:19:51.159
then having to turn into a panther
and run up. Come on, just

1374
01:19:51.239 --> 01:19:54.800
let me retry. But there,
what's the spout turning into a panther.

1375
01:19:55.159 --> 01:20:00.960
You don't tap your panther turn into
a shoots knives. Yeah, you can't

1376
01:20:00.000 --> 01:20:03.039
do that. Yeah. And what
I love and because those challenge rooms actually

1377
01:20:03.039 --> 01:20:05.640
teach you how to play the game, right, Like they they teach you

1378
01:20:05.680 --> 01:20:10.399
about dodging, Like it'll be like, hey, you can only defeat enemies

1379
01:20:10.439 --> 01:20:12.359
in which time, so it's like, okay, now we actually have to

1380
01:20:12.399 --> 01:20:15.319
focus exclusively on dodging, and you
take that immediately then into the main game

1381
01:20:15.600 --> 01:20:18.000
and I'm oh, I'm a better
player now. It's like the one where

1382
01:20:18.000 --> 01:20:21.319
it's you know, beat all these
enemies without touching the grounds. I'm learning

1383
01:20:21.319 --> 01:20:25.720
how to juggle in the air while
keeping or you can only beat enemies using

1384
01:20:25.760 --> 01:20:28.319
their own weaponry like that. That
taught me how to use some of the

1385
01:20:28.800 --> 01:20:31.159
different enemy weapons. Some of those
are great. Yeah, like the one

1386
01:20:31.199 --> 01:20:34.600
where it's like, hey, defeat
everyone in a single combo, which is

1387
01:20:34.600 --> 01:20:38.279
then where you learn like, oh, use your guns to like maintain a

1388
01:20:38.319 --> 01:20:41.920
combo while you're making your way over
to the enemy or you know, do

1389
01:20:41.960 --> 01:20:44.840
the and then I started learning how
to use the dash move like the double

1390
01:20:44.960 --> 01:20:48.479
double forward like toward like it fucking
amazing game, Like I don't I don't

1391
01:20:48.560 --> 01:20:53.279
use the word like fucking amazing lightly. And that that game really just in

1392
01:20:53.359 --> 01:20:59.800
every facet just completely blew me away. Just what I really want them to

1393
01:20:59.800 --> 01:21:01.840
make good ship this year. Yeah, just shame it's not out there on

1394
01:21:01.920 --> 01:21:04.880
more stuff, you know, like
it didn't get out to a wider audience.

1395
01:21:04.920 --> 01:21:08.359
Not that you hey, I mean
I tend to save that game.

1396
01:21:10.279 --> 01:21:12.680
I give them all the credit in
the world for actually seeing something in that

1397
01:21:12.760 --> 01:21:14.600
game, being willing to sort of
you know, put the bill on it,

1398
01:21:14.640 --> 01:21:17.399
because I mean, they needed games, so obviously they couldn't necessarily pick

1399
01:21:17.439 --> 01:21:20.880
and choose too much. But like
I'm I'm just I'm just thrilled that they

1400
01:21:21.039 --> 01:21:24.399
actually put it out there, and
they haven't done a lot of marketing for

1401
01:21:24.439 --> 01:21:27.159
it, but they did put it
out there. The people that are interested

1402
01:21:27.199 --> 01:21:30.760
in to see will to Bayonetta find
that shot? Like they don't need marketing

1403
01:21:30.800 --> 01:21:32.800
for that. I mean, you
know, like you could argue that it

1404
01:21:32.840 --> 01:21:35.199
should be seen by more people,
and if they did market it, they

1405
01:21:35.239 --> 01:21:39.560
would get there. But you know, like for a sequel to Bayonetta,

1406
01:21:39.800 --> 01:21:43.439
like that's that's not The attach rate
on we you games is such that.

1407
01:21:43.760 --> 01:21:45.479
I mean literally a Mayor Kart eight
is a fifty percent attach rate for the

1408
01:21:45.600 --> 01:21:49.960
entire console base, like that,
Brothers' higher than that even Yeah, I

1409
01:21:50.039 --> 01:21:56.840
just really I want a Bayonetta three
on like new generation hardware so badly to

1410
01:21:56.880 --> 01:21:59.960
see what just because like you can't
top it. I know they can't.

1411
01:22:00.479 --> 01:22:03.039
I would if they end up doing. I wonder what the status of that

1412
01:22:03.039 --> 01:22:05.359
contract, Like what the deal with
Nintendo is, if they could go do

1413
01:22:05.399 --> 01:22:10.760
a bands To special edition they said
that, Oh I don't know about that,

1414
01:22:10.800 --> 01:22:13.079
but they they already said that they
would like to work with Nintendo on

1415
01:22:13.279 --> 01:22:16.439
another Bandetta. It sounds very much
like Sega has no interest. So do

1416
01:22:16.439 --> 01:22:20.560
you think Bayonetta starts getting integrated into
the kind of wider Nintendo family with Like

1417
01:22:23.319 --> 01:22:27.439
I think with the way this game
is selling, like you know, like

1418
01:22:27.439 --> 01:22:29.680
the real shame is going to be
that, like this game is gonna go

1419
01:22:29.680 --> 01:22:32.560
on to win awards and and do
quite well critically, and we may never

1420
01:22:32.600 --> 01:22:34.840
hear from it again, you know, like just because of the way the

1421
01:22:34.880 --> 01:22:40.279
sales went, because of the circumstances
of it being saved by Nintendo and brought

1422
01:22:40.279 --> 01:22:42.479
out in the first place, Like
un list, Nintendo was willing to do

1423
01:22:42.520 --> 01:22:45.800
that again, which I don't I
don't see. I think. I think

1424
01:22:45.800 --> 01:22:49.039
I think Nintendo has done courting the
audience for games like that. If if

1425
01:22:49.039 --> 01:22:53.479
they're like they're, they're just gonna
go like, well that people tend to

1426
01:22:53.520 --> 01:22:57.119
want Nintendo games on Nintendo platforms,
We're just gonna go with that. Bandetta

1427
01:22:57.119 --> 01:23:00.319
attracts is like a slightly different core
audience than like would Nintendo. Eyes On

1428
01:23:00.399 --> 01:23:03.600
in Bad Times is a core audience
that loves their core franchises, and I

1429
01:23:03.640 --> 01:23:08.079
could I could see them betting if
they especially if if ban at the three

1430
01:23:08.119 --> 01:23:11.359
somehow ends up on the Wei.
You again, like the amount of your

1431
01:23:11.840 --> 01:23:15.640
money you're asking them to foot is
is probably not that much relative too.

1432
01:23:15.960 --> 01:23:18.359
I guess. Yeah, I don't
know. Awesome, I just want to

1433
01:23:18.359 --> 01:23:21.359
see Bandon and like Spatch Brothers or
something. That's what I was talking about.

1434
01:23:21.399 --> 01:23:24.119
Yeah, I was saying, you
know, the same way that I

1435
01:23:24.159 --> 01:23:25.880
think that was gonna happen. It
would have because you know, that's the

1436
01:23:25.960 --> 01:23:28.840
sort of for it, because everything
would have lined up. I guess.

1437
01:23:28.880 --> 01:23:32.199
So you can play one. That
game. It's pretty crazy too. I've

1438
01:23:32.199 --> 01:23:35.439
heard that the gameplay tweaks in to
make one a little bit harder to play,

1439
01:23:35.479 --> 01:23:39.000
but I'd like to give it a
shot, like I'd have to see,

1440
01:23:39.279 --> 01:23:42.439
especially because some people said I actually
like the crazy and one more than

1441
01:23:42.479 --> 01:23:47.880
two really fantastic. Yeah, the
end of Banta one is I feel real

1442
01:23:47.920 --> 01:23:54.359
bad, not like you should see
if you should see some chapter ten in

1443
01:23:54.560 --> 01:24:00.199
Vanitu All that's the when you enter
the gates of Hell. Oh and I

1444
01:24:00.239 --> 01:24:03.520
won't say the opening of the final
chapter of Bayonetta two, but it is.

1445
01:24:04.720 --> 01:24:08.960
I was cackling. I was cackling. It was like, no,

1446
01:24:09.199 --> 01:24:12.359
this is not You didn't turn this
game into this for the next ten minutes

1447
01:24:12.359 --> 01:24:15.600
to two or you did. Okay, all right, okay, don't stop,

1448
01:24:15.880 --> 01:24:19.840
please please don't. God what a
phenomenal game that is. Yeah,

1449
01:24:19.600 --> 01:24:21.760
yeah, I love it. I
love that Bayonetta one comes with it.

1450
01:24:21.760 --> 01:24:24.920
They just put it on a goddamn
disk and made it work on the weekend.

1451
01:24:25.039 --> 01:24:27.800
Yeah yeah, yeah. If you
buy the dis version, it comes

1452
01:24:27.800 --> 01:24:30.520
with it. On the shop,
they're sold separately, but on the shop,

1453
01:24:30.560 --> 01:24:35.760
I think, well, is it
so separately? That's basically you have

1454
01:24:35.840 --> 01:24:39.920
to have an external hard drive for
that because Bayonetta two is like seventeen gigs

1455
01:24:40.199 --> 01:24:43.520
and one I want to say it
is like nine or half. That's yeah,

1456
01:24:45.479 --> 01:24:50.159
Bayonetta two has got me into the
disgusting, filthy world of you external

1457
01:24:50.159 --> 01:24:54.359
storage. It's messed up. It's
bad word, it really is. Because

1458
01:24:54.439 --> 01:24:57.840
he played like a power power Yeah
yeah, yeah, they only put they

1459
01:24:57.880 --> 01:25:00.199
only put USB two on that thing. So I just bought a sixty four

1460
01:25:00.199 --> 01:25:02.960
gig flash drive, I know,
and yeah, that works, seems to

1461
01:25:02.960 --> 01:25:05.560
work. That works people, that
works, But then you know, a

1462
01:25:05.680 --> 01:25:09.600
USB drive is going to be slower
than a drive. I haven't had any

1463
01:25:09.600 --> 01:25:12.720
problems, apparently. I was reading
you can get like a I'm maybe getting

1464
01:25:12.760 --> 01:25:15.720
the like a why splitter. It's
a thing that allows you to plug two

1465
01:25:15.760 --> 01:25:17.800
u as deep into the back of
the WU, which then powers it enough

1466
01:25:17.800 --> 01:25:19.880
for it to be used as an
expert. But otherwise you need the hard

1467
01:25:19.960 --> 01:25:23.279
drive plug ins in the wall.
Oh wait, so you have a powered

1468
01:25:23.399 --> 01:25:29.159
hub you can use a nonpowered you
And how does that work with like the

1469
01:25:29.199 --> 01:25:33.159
wu uh like the adapter for the
Smash controllers the game. There's two things

1470
01:25:33.239 --> 01:25:36.000
on the front. Yeah, but
if you have to put both in power

1471
01:25:36.079 --> 01:25:39.119
the drive thing, yeah, you'd
just be scored. What's the problem which

1472
01:25:39.119 --> 01:25:41.560
just getting like this is sixty four
gig flash if you want to get if

1473
01:25:41.560 --> 01:25:44.199
you want to get like a terabyte
or something, then you're not gonna what's

1474
01:25:44.199 --> 01:25:47.399
the biggest they have in like a
one USB flash drive? That's a lot.

1475
01:25:47.520 --> 01:25:51.199
I mean how many you get again
as you think it is? Yeah,

1476
01:25:51.199 --> 01:25:55.560
but I have filled up every single
console hard drive I have already,

1477
01:25:55.720 --> 01:25:59.239
right, but I've had to delete
several things, yes, but yes I

1478
01:25:59.279 --> 01:26:01.000
had to. I had to go
buy the disc version because bab, because

1479
01:26:01.039 --> 01:26:03.520
I already filled that damn thing I
want. I had to delete just about

1480
01:26:03.560 --> 01:26:09.439
everything on my wie you to get
me, right, But how much it's

1481
01:26:12.079 --> 01:26:16.920
alight? Twenty five or seven is
already dedicated to And that's silly, It's

1482
01:26:16.920 --> 01:26:20.000
crazy. I hate it. I've
had a new hard drive in my PS

1483
01:26:20.079 --> 01:26:23.920
four. Not long after I got
it, I did that and one tearorbyte

1484
01:26:24.000 --> 01:26:26.479
drive and that's been fine. I
did that week before last. I put

1485
01:26:26.479 --> 01:26:29.720
two tearor bytes in. I'd like
just being able to jam your own like

1486
01:26:29.800 --> 01:26:32.319
big ass wamping and hard drive in
there. Like this whole this whole like

1487
01:26:32.399 --> 01:26:36.439
console is having multiple drives attached?
Thing is it's just weird? Yeah,

1488
01:26:36.479 --> 01:26:41.760
it's yeah, like having to having
to worry about which device your games go

1489
01:26:41.840 --> 01:26:43.840
on, like specific games, you
know, and what happens if you want

1490
01:26:43.840 --> 01:26:46.720
to plug that hard drive and like
it's it's a little strange. It should

1491
01:26:46.720 --> 01:26:50.039
all tie it to your home network. Man, you can have your sam

1492
01:26:50.279 --> 01:26:57.279
My drowbo. I just want everything
in the cloud, man, just everything.

1493
01:26:57.760 --> 01:27:00.920
Where's cloud gaming? Man? What's
the guy car doing? What's David

1494
01:27:00.960 --> 01:27:04.319
guy Ki up to these days?
He's rolling in his money? Yeah?

1495
01:27:04.479 --> 01:27:09.039
He vatars? You know, it
doesn't take a lot of space. Is

1496
01:27:09.119 --> 01:27:12.479
Captain Toad Treasure Tracker? Okay?
I gotta play that this week? Can

1497
01:27:12.560 --> 01:27:15.039
you can you tell me about it
in three minutes or less? Oh?

1498
01:27:15.079 --> 01:27:17.520
Probably. It's a pretty simple formula. Hit me, okay, you get

1499
01:27:17.520 --> 01:27:19.920
three crystals and you get to a
star, and there's a hit an objective

1500
01:27:19.920 --> 01:27:26.399
in every level there's several dozen levels
and you can't jump. Can't jump because

1501
01:27:26.399 --> 01:27:29.199
he's got a real heavy backpack.
Of course, it's a real fun game

1502
01:27:29.199 --> 01:27:30.840
to one hundred percent. I'd love
that they gave like a canonical reason why

1503
01:27:30.840 --> 01:27:32.560
he can't jump. That's great.
Yeah, when you go to the end

1504
01:27:32.600 --> 01:27:36.439
game manual things, it's basically those
little puzzle levels from three D World.

1505
01:27:36.680 --> 01:27:40.000
It is that, And you know, I think as a main course,

1506
01:27:40.079 --> 01:27:42.439
it's not quite as great as this, you know, kind of change of

1507
01:27:42.439 --> 01:27:45.920
pace palate cleanser from three D World
it was, but it's still really fun.

1508
01:27:45.960 --> 01:27:46.760
You know. The review went up. I gave it three stars.

1509
01:27:46.800 --> 01:27:50.960
I think forty dollars is a bit
pricey for the amount of stuff that comes

1510
01:27:51.000 --> 01:27:54.520
in it. But how long is
I heard it? There's like two three

1511
01:27:54.520 --> 01:27:57.279
hours you can, man, I'm
almost one hundred percent through it, and

1512
01:27:57.279 --> 01:28:00.920
I can't imagine it's been more than
four or five hours. Yeah, Like

1513
01:28:00.079 --> 01:28:02.479
you can blow through just the levels, like get to the star and whatever

1514
01:28:02.479 --> 01:28:05.840
crystals you can find the first time
that's like three World War three D Land.

1515
01:28:06.000 --> 01:28:09.840
That's then you've missed, Like you
want to get all the green stars,

1516
01:28:09.840 --> 01:28:11.199
you want to do all that.
Yeah, it's we're all like,

1517
01:28:11.199 --> 01:28:15.119
the really nice design tricks have been
like where you realize the forced perspective has

1518
01:28:15.159 --> 01:28:16.720
been using a super clever way.
Yes, and then that's all over the

1519
01:28:16.720 --> 01:28:19.199
place in this game. It really
is fun. When we did that quick

1520
01:28:19.199 --> 01:28:25.039
look, that game like came across
to me as like a phone game that

1521
01:28:25.159 --> 01:28:28.239
accidentally got made on consoles. It's
it's like, you know so many phone

1522
01:28:28.279 --> 01:28:30.039
games like Cut the Rope or Angry
Birds, where it's like get three things

1523
01:28:30.079 --> 01:28:32.199
and then move on to the next
level, and we've got a big collection.

1524
01:28:32.239 --> 01:28:34.840
To these, it's get three crystals, move on to the next level,

1525
01:28:35.119 --> 01:28:36.880
and you can beat it with one, but now you want to get

1526
01:28:36.880 --> 01:28:41.880
all three probably be fair. Mario
has had that framework for sure with the

1527
01:28:41.880 --> 01:28:44.479
stark winds and stuff. Yeah.
Yeah, well these are more bite sized

1528
01:28:44.520 --> 01:28:46.760
levels and stuff. It's as long
as people know what they're getting into when

1529
01:28:46.800 --> 01:28:49.119
they spend the money or whatever.
I mean, they're gonna have a good

1530
01:28:49.119 --> 01:28:54.119
time. It's just it's not necessarily
Yeah, I had I had always going

1531
01:28:54.159 --> 01:28:56.960
into that assumed it was like a
fifteen twenty dollars down aloadable. Yeah,

1532
01:28:56.960 --> 01:28:59.319
it would have been great for that. I've been finding audio it's like forty

1533
01:28:59.319 --> 01:29:01.159
bucks and on a disc seemed kind
of crazy. It's a Nintendo game,

1534
01:29:01.199 --> 01:29:03.800
so you pay a premium regardless,
and you can download it if you want

1535
01:29:03.840 --> 01:29:08.039
to. It's just on the disc. But I kind of, you know,

1536
01:29:08.119 --> 01:29:11.800
the way it's distributed kind of implies
st something about the scope of it

1537
01:29:11.880 --> 01:29:15.720
somehow. The fact that it's on
a disc. Yeah, like Minecraft comes

1538
01:29:15.720 --> 01:29:23.199
on a disc as yeah. Yeah, so yeah, you know that game

1539
01:29:23.199 --> 01:29:27.760
has been on sale around Thanksgiving,
like the you know, downloaded for twenty

1540
01:29:27.800 --> 01:29:30.520
bucks instead of sixty and it still
doesn't seem like a good price. What

1541
01:29:30.560 --> 01:29:33.720
if I got it for ninety nine
cents on my phone? Can you renegotiate

1542
01:29:33.880 --> 01:29:40.279
how much I'm gonna refinance purchase?
You're still paying it off and see if

1543
01:29:40.319 --> 01:29:44.520
I can. You know, I
put the game on layaway and yeah I

1544
01:29:44.520 --> 01:29:46.000
got. If I can get Equity
and Angry Birds, I think everything will

1545
01:29:46.000 --> 01:29:51.159
be okay. But working on that, Patrick, Oh, tell me about

1546
01:29:51.159 --> 01:29:55.239
Game of Thrones. Tell me about
the Game of Thrones game. Oh right,

1547
01:29:55.279 --> 01:29:58.880
I was gonna say, because I
don't know whatever is happening in game

1548
01:29:58.920 --> 01:30:00.880
the Game of Thrones show. Ever, I just I enjoy it very much.

1549
01:30:00.920 --> 01:30:03.199
But if you asked me to name
five characters. I think I might

1550
01:30:03.239 --> 01:30:08.199
be name five characters. I can't. Alright, you can have you read.

1551
01:30:08.399 --> 01:30:14.239
Surely you can name five characters.
There's nine Catness, Come on,

1552
01:30:15.560 --> 01:30:19.439
I want Jeff to name five characters
for me. Lady Roland, Donald Catness,

1553
01:30:20.279 --> 01:30:24.640
Harold, Yeah, or any of
them they're all dead. No,

1554
01:30:24.760 --> 01:30:27.720
okay, Peter Dicklinch what's his name? You know it? Yeah? No,

1555
01:30:27.840 --> 01:30:31.720
I'm I'm saying, I'm I'm I'm
I'm I'm generalizing. There's a lot

1556
01:30:31.760 --> 01:30:36.800
of character in that series that like, it's really yeah, yeah, all

1557
01:30:36.880 --> 01:30:41.319
right, little Finger you in it. I thought it was either going to

1558
01:30:41.359 --> 01:30:43.960
be that or Lord of the Rings. I don't know he's in there,

1559
01:30:44.760 --> 01:30:47.359
the Lord of the Rings. Okay, Game of Thrones is good. It's

1560
01:30:47.359 --> 01:30:55.880
like that good Lord zero. What
are you saying? Even, do not

1561
01:30:55.920 --> 01:30:59.800
engage Manna, I'm gonna let I'm
gonna let that one slide because for dan

1562
01:31:00.319 --> 01:31:03.079
sensibilities, that makes sense. That
is a sensible statement. I guess.

1563
01:31:03.159 --> 01:31:09.600
Just let me let me This bulln't
because he's normally so stubborn with fantastics is

1564
01:31:09.640 --> 01:31:12.680
just a fantastic story. Read the
book, the first book, and then

1565
01:31:12.680 --> 01:31:14.640
I just watched the show since then, I'm just I'm proud of you.

1566
01:31:14.760 --> 01:31:19.119
I'm right there. I can't even
read them. This ground is well trodden.

1567
01:31:19.119 --> 01:31:23.239
We's sorry. So does this adventure
game stuck the same way all the

1568
01:31:23.279 --> 01:31:28.239
other Telltale games do or what you
can engage that I'm with you. Well,

1569
01:31:28.479 --> 01:31:30.119
there's sort of like two acts to
tell Tale, right, There's there's

1570
01:31:30.199 --> 01:31:33.760
like pre Walking Dead and then like
postwalking like they sort of like turn a

1571
01:31:33.840 --> 01:31:38.680
design approach after, you know,
starting with walking, like the Draft Park

1572
01:31:38.720 --> 01:31:42.439
game. I think it was garbage. The Back to the Future games I

1573
01:31:42.479 --> 01:31:45.000
heard they were okay, okay,
charming, sure, yeah, yeah,

1574
01:31:45.640 --> 01:31:50.279
So the game of throwing this game
is odd because everything that has to do

1575
01:31:50.439 --> 01:31:55.640
with everything that doesn't have to do
with the main characters from the show that

1576
01:31:55.640 --> 01:31:59.640
they're putting in there to like hey
it's yeah, bitter Dinklage and it's easier.

1577
01:32:00.039 --> 01:32:01.640
All this stuff's terrible. It's I
don't think it works at all.

1578
01:32:01.640 --> 01:32:06.880
It's not because it's shoehorned. It's
the the character so too. I don't

1579
01:32:06.920 --> 01:32:10.439
want to spoil because you've ever't watched
the show, but basically picks up it

1580
01:32:10.760 --> 01:32:15.560
the major event at the end of
season three, Okay, I guess,

1581
01:32:15.640 --> 01:32:17.520
or the season wedding. I guess
I gets, so you can say those

1582
01:32:17.520 --> 01:32:19.840
words. I was gonna ask if
the seasons were analogous of the books now,

1583
01:32:19.880 --> 01:32:24.560
but they're they're they're starting to diverge
more. But yeah, not since

1584
01:32:24.640 --> 01:32:26.880
the first one. Okay, when
the UFO landed at the end of season

1585
01:32:26.920 --> 01:32:29.880
four, it was like it was
kind of a season. The second season

1586
01:32:29.920 --> 01:32:31.439
was that was pretty much the second
book, wasn't it. They started bringing

1587
01:32:31.439 --> 01:32:33.640
in stuff that's in like the third
book. Okay, yeah, but yeah,

1588
01:32:33.640 --> 01:32:36.239
I think the Red Wedding is like
halfway through the third book or something.

1589
01:32:36.319 --> 01:32:40.439
Yeah, so it's the Red Wedding
and then you know, the main

1590
01:32:40.600 --> 01:32:43.199
arc of season four, which I
won't get into, but basically that's kind

1591
01:32:43.199 --> 01:32:46.840
of it seems that's what the track
is going to be for for the game.

1592
01:32:46.920 --> 01:32:49.399
So the game sort of sets up
a series of characters house Forster,

1593
01:32:50.119 --> 01:32:55.279
who is involved in one side of
the Red Wedding. Their house is impacted

1594
01:32:55.319 --> 01:32:58.239
by the events of the Red Wedding, and then it's you played this,

1595
01:32:58.600 --> 01:33:01.600
uh, different members of family and
how they're dealing with the consequences, and

1596
01:33:01.760 --> 01:33:04.800
part of that plays out in King's
Landing, you know, where there's a

1597
01:33:05.720 --> 01:33:09.319
lot stuff going on, But basically, is any of that stuff canonical or

1598
01:33:09.479 --> 01:33:12.399
are they inventing these characters, Like
it's not, it's it's or is it

1599
01:33:12.439 --> 01:33:15.119
like stuff that like is alluded to
in the book. So it's so it's

1600
01:33:15.159 --> 01:33:16.680
weird. My my understanding is that
it's so you have to follow the lineage,

1601
01:33:16.840 --> 01:33:20.880
just like the throw The show is
an adaptation of right book. Yeah,

1602
01:33:21.119 --> 01:33:26.359
and then I think House Forrester is
referenced in the book, but the

1603
01:33:26.439 --> 01:33:29.439
game is based on the show,
so right, so it is canonical in

1604
01:33:29.479 --> 01:33:31.279
the sense of the Game of Three. Stuff in from the books that didn't

1605
01:33:31.279 --> 01:33:33.720
necessarily make it into the show.
But it's kind of there's like a reference

1606
01:33:33.760 --> 01:33:36.800
to House Forresters like, and there
are like references I believe in and I

1607
01:33:36.800 --> 01:33:40.359
couldn't get this with the rom This
is my understanding is there are references to

1608
01:33:40.359 --> 01:33:43.319
stuff in the books that allows them
to make up a new story to tell

1609
01:33:43.359 --> 01:33:45.000
that runs parallel. So it's it's
not like if you read the books,

1610
01:33:45.039 --> 01:33:47.960
you know what's going to happen in
the tell Tale series, Like there may

1611
01:33:47.960 --> 01:33:51.319
be references you pick up on and
you know this is the whole house we've

1612
01:33:51.359 --> 01:33:54.760
never even seen before. Yeah,
I think, how again like House Forster,

1613
01:33:54.840 --> 01:33:57.920
I think in Passing Me exactly.
I believe it's mentioned as like part

1614
01:33:57.960 --> 01:33:59.920
of the lore of the world,
but it's not like a you know,

1615
01:34:00.159 --> 01:34:01.600
folks. So in that other Game
of Thrones game they came out a couple

1616
01:34:01.600 --> 01:34:04.680
of years ago, that shitty RPG, all the characters and stuff that were

1617
01:34:04.680 --> 01:34:09.479
built for that game were invented wholesale. None of that stuff was referenced in

1618
01:34:09.479 --> 01:34:12.800
the books. Okay, so this
is running more in reference to Okay,

1619
01:34:12.880 --> 01:34:15.279
I believe so is the likeness and
voices of the characters from the show.

1620
01:34:15.359 --> 01:34:18.000
Is it Thnklage and Lena Hetty?
And it is. And that's what makes

1621
01:34:18.000 --> 01:34:23.560
it like incredibly awkward because it actually, yeah, and it's it's the tell

1622
01:34:23.560 --> 01:34:28.239
Tales. It's like the tell Tale
style, but with like this kind of

1623
01:34:28.279 --> 01:34:31.960
watercolor filter applied overthing. And it's
very much a filter because sometimes in the

1624
01:34:31.960 --> 01:34:36.319
cut scenes you will see the filter
break and see like the original textures with

1625
01:34:36.600 --> 01:34:40.560
like the filter on top of it, and it works really bad in close

1626
01:34:40.640 --> 01:34:45.840
ups where it's just like this chest
is just like breaking between the filter and

1627
01:34:45.840 --> 01:34:46.800
and stuff like that. I don't
think the filter works that well, but

1628
01:34:46.840 --> 01:34:51.640
it's gives it its own spin on
sort of the tell tale approach to this

1629
01:34:51.680 --> 01:34:56.239
stuff, which it already sort of
doesn't work for me that much. Because

1630
01:34:56.319 --> 01:34:59.560
Game of Thrones is like a gritty, realistic take on fancy. It's part

1631
01:34:59.560 --> 01:35:01.239
of the reason it probably appeals to
Dan versus Lord of the Rings. Like

1632
01:35:01.239 --> 01:35:05.159
it's it's less fantastic, it's more
more stabbing and and it list its sex

1633
01:35:05.199 --> 01:35:09.880
than it is like elves running around
in the forest setting. The setting is

1634
01:35:09.880 --> 01:35:13.640
almost incidental to the how many long
ass speeches are there in Game of Thrones,

1635
01:35:13.680 --> 01:35:15.199
Like, there are quite a few, how many of them get interrupted

1636
01:35:15.199 --> 01:35:19.840
by murder? A lot of yeah, yeah, And you know, because

1637
01:35:19.880 --> 01:35:23.520
like Game of Thrones, like there
are fantastic elements, there's you know,

1638
01:35:23.520 --> 01:35:25.720
magic and Dragon's ball, but it's
not like the focus of the show,

1639
01:35:25.800 --> 01:35:30.479
Like the focus of Game of Thrones
is politics and characters, the like consequences

1640
01:35:30.560 --> 01:35:33.439
of like this constant shifting ideologies and
such. Hey, sorry, I hate

1641
01:35:33.479 --> 01:35:36.479
to keep derailing this, but do
you think the dragon Age inquisition being so

1642
01:35:36.520 --> 01:35:45.239
political is a direct result of Game
of Thrones popularity? They Well, Vinnie

1643
01:35:45.239 --> 01:35:48.199
could probably into this better. But
I think the dragon Age universe has always

1644
01:35:48.239 --> 01:35:53.279
been sort of inherently political, like
the classes and the hierarchies of this kind

1645
01:35:53.279 --> 01:35:56.680
of dragon Age feels like a byware
game. Yeah, man, yeah,

1646
01:35:56.960 --> 01:36:00.079
it's a dragon Age is definitely high
fantasy with the elves and stuff like that,

1647
01:36:00.119 --> 01:36:03.520
and the class stuff is just lifted
right out of kind of cookie cutter

1648
01:36:03.520 --> 01:36:08.560
fan of stuff, yeah, except
shifted around, like like the elves are

1649
01:36:08.600 --> 01:36:12.239
normally you know, sort of like
highly respected and in which is like the

1650
01:36:12.279 --> 01:36:15.279
elves and yeah, yeah, I
mean there are no elves and dwarves and

1651
01:36:15.319 --> 01:36:17.119
Game of Thrones like it's much there
are giants. It's it's much more of

1652
01:36:17.319 --> 01:36:25.039
the direct like medieval. Yeah,
that's what it is. Yeah. And

1653
01:36:25.039 --> 01:36:29.039
and the thing about the game is
that they they conceive a story in which

1654
01:36:29.119 --> 01:36:32.079
it doesn't feel like the characters from
the show are shoehorned, but like their

1655
01:36:32.079 --> 01:36:36.640
appearances are so brief that it ends
up feeling a little bit shoehorned. And

1656
01:36:36.640 --> 01:36:41.560
it's also just odd to look at
because the characters feel detached in a way

1657
01:36:41.640 --> 01:36:45.239
that it's obvious that they're doing voice
acting and not like performing on the show.

1658
01:36:45.279 --> 01:36:47.319
Like there's just well, I mean, we've seen how Peter dangliche is

1659
01:36:47.439 --> 01:36:53.399
voice acting talents have have been used
this year. He's terrible in the game.

1660
01:36:53.479 --> 01:36:56.119
I'm sorry he is. There there
is a there is a reason they're

1661
01:36:56.159 --> 01:36:59.079
called voice actors, right, and
then there are actors. Like it's because

1662
01:36:59.119 --> 01:37:02.560
they are completely different sets of talents, Like there are people that are crossover.

1663
01:37:02.720 --> 01:37:04.880
There is I know, but I'm
saying there's a reason. I mean,

1664
01:37:05.079 --> 01:37:09.840
Destiny was so good. There's just
a reason they're called voice Actually,

1665
01:37:09.920 --> 01:37:13.439
Peter Dinklich is phenomenal in the show, like wonderful, and it just all

1666
01:37:13.520 --> 01:37:15.720
kind of falls flat. I guess
what I'm saying is the larger point is

1667
01:37:15.720 --> 01:37:18.279
that the stuff that has nothing to
do with the characters from the show,

1668
01:37:18.439 --> 01:37:21.000
the stuff that is just about House
Forester and like how you're doing with your

1669
01:37:21.039 --> 01:37:26.159
own family's internal politics not doing good? Oh man, you're just kidding.

1670
01:37:26.159 --> 01:37:30.600
The ironwood business is about to be
taken from them, No, to save

1671
01:37:30.640 --> 01:37:33.880
the family tree? Is ironwood just
wood that's harder than regular wood? Pretty

1672
01:37:33.960 --> 01:37:39.239
much? Yes? Yes, okay, go on, is house Walmart moving

1673
01:37:39.239 --> 01:37:43.640
in and the well not like wood? This is like all the House Lows

1674
01:37:43.800 --> 01:37:46.800
was the original. Yeah, there's
the Lost of Happening with the Bolton's in

1675
01:37:48.119 --> 01:37:50.319
I don't like get too specific because
it gets kind of spoiler into the show.

1676
01:37:50.359 --> 01:37:54.439
But the house they build that you're
playing with in the Politics that Happened,

1677
01:37:54.439 --> 01:37:57.560
they're all super fascinating, especially because
it is a house that is like

1678
01:37:58.119 --> 01:38:01.520
destined for failure, and like the
house, the decisions you're making are just

1679
01:38:01.600 --> 01:38:05.760
like a bunch of really bad options. Like it's it's Walking Dead esque in

1680
01:38:05.840 --> 01:38:11.439
that what you're presented with is just
like, well, all this stuff sucks,

1681
01:38:11.600 --> 01:38:13.319
Like you know now that you say
that, that kind of makes sense

1682
01:38:13.359 --> 01:38:15.199
that they went after this property because
like, like the Walking Dead, Game

1683
01:38:15.199 --> 01:38:18.560
of Thrones is a perfect yeah,
it's a lot of bad it's happening gray

1684
01:38:18.640 --> 01:38:23.920
areas, yes, Yeah. And
the way the episode plays plays out in

1685
01:38:23.920 --> 01:38:26.560
the different ways, like it's it's
fascinating to watch how much your choices do

1686
01:38:26.720 --> 01:38:30.359
or don't play into it because at
the end everything is just shittier. Yeah,

1687
01:38:30.399 --> 01:38:34.000
And and like Game of Thrones plays
very much into that Walking Dead gray

1688
01:38:34.039 --> 01:38:38.239
area of like well, you could
kill this guy or kill that guy,

1689
01:38:38.399 --> 01:38:41.000
and then that's not really how the
choices. They're different types of choices in

1690
01:38:41.000 --> 01:38:43.600
Game of Thrones, but it's the
same sort of thing of it all.

1691
01:38:44.479 --> 01:38:47.560
You're still pretty much primarily engaging with
the games through just conversation trees, and

1692
01:38:47.560 --> 01:38:53.039
and yes, there is the same
kind of contextual action it is or the

1693
01:38:53.119 --> 01:38:57.560
action is the best action they've ever
done in which there's very forgiving among us.

1694
01:38:57.600 --> 01:38:59.880
Had some good stuff in it too. Yeah, like they've managed to

1695
01:39:00.079 --> 01:39:03.079
make the way that the action moments
play out are just like I kind of

1696
01:39:03.159 --> 01:39:06.439
hit right and there's like a big
but the way that they aesthetically implement it,

1697
01:39:06.479 --> 01:39:09.960
you know, you've got like a
big swooping arrow, like the kind

1698
01:39:10.000 --> 01:39:13.439
of looks really nice and it's it's
well integrated. It's by far the biggest

1699
01:39:13.439 --> 01:39:17.039
budget game they've put together. There's
a very distinct moment early in which they

1700
01:39:17.079 --> 01:39:20.279
have this like really they set up
a horse, and they clearly spend a

1701
01:39:20.279 --> 01:39:24.319
lot of time on their horse tech, like a lot of time because the

1702
01:39:24.359 --> 01:39:30.399
animations and Telltale games is garbage,
usually awful, and the human characters are

1703
01:39:30.399 --> 01:39:32.079
not that much better in Game of
Thrones, but it was clear they were

1704
01:39:32.159 --> 01:39:36.159
not going to be able to animate
horses without like really spending time to figure

1705
01:39:36.159 --> 01:39:39.840
out how to animate these horses.
And the horses look really damn good.

1706
01:39:40.000 --> 01:39:42.560
It's good, Like it seems like
they spent a lot of time animating these

1707
01:39:42.600 --> 01:39:45.920
ways us really the important stuff.
Yeah, but there's still like moments in

1708
01:39:45.960 --> 01:39:49.399
Game of Thrones where you'll see a
character run away. It's like cut away,

1709
01:39:49.479 --> 01:39:53.359
dude, Like I want to see
that animation. I was looking into

1710
01:39:53.359 --> 01:39:56.960
the trailer that they put out today
and like just even some of the animations,

1711
01:39:57.119 --> 01:40:00.119
like the dude getting like thrown down
on the chopping block and like him

1712
01:40:00.159 --> 01:40:02.000
just flailing around. It's like nobody
moves like that. I don't know,

1713
01:40:02.119 --> 01:40:04.000
terrible. I don't know what it
is. I don't know if it's limitation

1714
01:40:04.039 --> 01:40:06.840
of their engine or if it's limitation
of the amount of time they have to

1715
01:40:06.840 --> 01:40:11.279
put together those those games. But
it it's bad, and it's not.

1716
01:40:11.359 --> 01:40:14.840
It's a little bit better here,
but it's still but they're still using that

1717
01:40:14.880 --> 01:40:16.760
same engine, basically the engine they've
been using all along for this stuff.

1718
01:40:16.880 --> 01:40:20.800
I have to imagine that the amount
of time they're in full production on each

1719
01:40:20.840 --> 01:40:25.279
episode is pretty compressed. Yeah yeah, based on it's all not faster there

1720
01:40:25.279 --> 01:40:27.319
putting those things out, and like
you've got to have the thing written and

1721
01:40:27.479 --> 01:40:30.600
vo recording. When you think about
how like how quickly that company has grown,

1722
01:40:30.600 --> 01:40:33.279
like they had four projects running simultaneously. You know, there's that studio

1723
01:40:33.319 --> 01:40:35.840
got big fast. They had to
move locations like it got you know,

1724
01:40:35.920 --> 01:40:40.199
you might you might argue that a
little too fast. Bet I bet,

1725
01:40:40.640 --> 01:40:43.840
yeah, probably mean you know,
like those games have been buggy all along,

1726
01:40:43.880 --> 01:40:47.479
and you know, like you're talking
about the filter being glitchy and stuff,

1727
01:40:47.479 --> 01:40:51.039
and just filter doesn't even really that
good to begin with. I think

1728
01:40:51.399 --> 01:40:57.119
the filter exists because they wanted to
give it a slightly different little shirts.

1729
01:40:57.159 --> 01:41:00.239
You know, it kind of fits
in with some of the more fantastic stick

1730
01:41:00.239 --> 01:41:02.119
elements of the show. But when
it works, it works really well.

1731
01:41:02.159 --> 01:41:04.840
It's just very clear that, like
some of the elements it's applied to,

1732
01:41:04.960 --> 01:41:08.279
is a filter as opposed to like
a natural part of the environment. It's

1733
01:41:08.319 --> 01:41:12.039
probably a cost thing, like it's
it's more effective to do to apply it

1734
01:41:12.079 --> 01:41:14.960
that way. But yeah, I
enjoyed it. I'm you know, my

1735
01:41:14.960 --> 01:41:16.600
my bar of playing those as if
my wife wants to play the next one,

1736
01:41:16.640 --> 01:41:20.079
because she drives all the decisions,
I will secretly pick other ones if

1737
01:41:20.079 --> 01:41:23.560
she takes too long and take the
one I wanted, is this another five

1738
01:41:23.560 --> 01:41:27.479
episode season six? Okay? And
these are gonna be like back to back

1739
01:41:27.560 --> 01:41:30.880
with the Tales from the Borderlands.
Yeah this I was gonna say. They

1740
01:41:30.039 --> 01:41:33.439
have been pretty prolific lately. Yeah, it burns us out today. Right,

1741
01:41:33.520 --> 01:41:36.520
Well, we'll see. Will they
be able to get another episode out

1742
01:41:36.560 --> 01:41:40.159
within the next month. That's that's
the question, because if they can get

1743
01:41:40.159 --> 01:41:42.319
them both out the start, but
like, well, is there going to

1744
01:41:42.359 --> 01:41:45.399
be that another like two month break
between episodes? Again, it's the holidays.

1745
01:41:45.399 --> 01:41:46.239
It's kind of a lot too,
I know. I'm just it's like

1746
01:41:46.279 --> 01:41:48.680
last year that was what kind of
the kind of kneecap the Walking Dead and

1747
01:41:48.800 --> 01:41:53.600
uh Wolf among Us, Bold among
Us that the space between episodes of waiting

1748
01:41:53.960 --> 01:41:56.640
did they not stick to a their
normal schedule for that stuff, because I

1749
01:41:56.920 --> 01:42:00.760
feel like with Walking Dead Season two
regular, I feel like Wolf among Us

1750
01:42:00.760 --> 01:42:04.399
and Walking Into season two both and
you know it, granted I'm already kind

1751
01:42:04.439 --> 01:42:09.359
of not into those games, but
I feel like those just came and fucking

1752
01:42:09.520 --> 01:42:11.960
went. They were like, Hey, Wolf Amonggus is coming out? Did

1753
01:42:12.000 --> 01:42:14.960
not hear a peep about I didn't
even know that there was more than one

1754
01:42:14.960 --> 01:42:17.119
episode out until they sent like a
retail disc of like season one. I'm

1755
01:42:17.119 --> 01:42:19.760
like, oh, I guess they
put out more of these, because like

1756
01:42:21.159 --> 01:42:25.199
no one was talking about that ship. Hey, new Wolf Amonggus is out,

1757
01:42:25.319 --> 01:42:29.960
Like there was zero There were people, as evidence by the fact that

1758
01:42:30.000 --> 01:42:31.520
anyone was commenting on those recaps that
I was writing, there were some people

1759
01:42:31.520 --> 01:42:34.840
who were into that stae. But
Wolf among Us was not a game that

1760
01:42:34.880 --> 01:42:39.800
benefited from being episodic at all.
The breaks between episodes totally sucked all the

1761
01:42:39.800 --> 01:42:42.840
momentum out of the story. In
the middle episodes dragged so much. It

1762
01:42:42.960 --> 01:42:45.600
just it was a bad It was
a bad structure for that game. Walking

1763
01:42:45.600 --> 01:42:48.920
Dead's problems had nothing to do with
the space between episodes. It's that a

1764
01:42:48.920 --> 01:42:51.680
lot of the episodes were bad.
They were just bad episodes. Both of

1765
01:42:51.680 --> 01:42:55.239
these seasons started this year, right, yep, yep. Well, so

1766
01:42:55.760 --> 01:43:00.000
Wolf amongst I wanted they started in
December last year, so that, yeah,

1767
01:43:00.000 --> 01:43:03.359
do you remember when Walking Dead had
like an inventory and you were like

1768
01:43:03.399 --> 01:43:08.079
picking up stuff to put with item
A with item B, like would put

1769
01:43:08.079 --> 01:43:15.079
the batteries in the right and then
they were like the conversation stuff is obviously

1770
01:43:15.079 --> 01:43:17.239
where this is at. So season
two Walking Dead has done now right,

1771
01:43:17.319 --> 01:43:20.079
Yeah, because everyone freaked out over
the first season. I know loved it

1772
01:43:20.119 --> 01:43:23.199
and you know, one a bunch
of awards and it was season three.

1773
01:43:23.319 --> 01:43:26.479
Season two well received. No,
no, it was not. There were

1774
01:43:26.479 --> 01:43:29.079
people who liked it. There were
a couple of good episodes. Yeah,

1775
01:43:29.119 --> 01:43:31.720
the middle of that season was the
best part of it. Like they introduced

1776
01:43:31.720 --> 01:43:34.760
a villain and see an episode two, and like the payoff for him in

1777
01:43:34.800 --> 01:43:38.720
episode three was actually it was voiced
by Michael Madsen and one of the best

1778
01:43:38.720 --> 01:43:43.399
performances I've heard from a semi sober
sounding Michael Matson in ages. Uh.

1779
01:43:43.920 --> 01:43:45.640
But then once they got rid of
that guy, like the last two episodes

1780
01:43:45.720 --> 01:43:48.319
just felt aimless, like there was
just nothing going on in them that was

1781
01:43:48.319 --> 01:43:53.520
interesting. Highs of season two were
nowhere near the highest of season one.

1782
01:43:53.640 --> 01:43:57.760
Yeah, I mean chief critical,
the creative staff of the first season left

1783
01:43:57.840 --> 01:44:01.079
and they're making Firewatch, right,
And that's not to say that there weren't

1784
01:44:01.079 --> 01:44:03.520
good parts of season two, but
like, are you telling me that Firewatch

1785
01:44:03.560 --> 01:44:08.199
is actually the real season two to
the Walking Dead? It's embarking. Hey,

1786
01:44:08.239 --> 01:44:11.600
now you know what fire Watching finally
fucking damn it could have just four

1787
01:44:11.640 --> 01:44:14.439
words. It only took like four
months for us to exlay it to you,

1788
01:44:14.560 --> 01:44:18.880
but I did money play Tales from
the Worlands. We played the first

1789
01:44:18.920 --> 01:44:23.159
fifteen minutes of it on the show, the live show we did on Wednesday.

1790
01:44:23.920 --> 01:44:28.119
I got halfway through it, and
then between Game of finishing Game of

1791
01:44:28.159 --> 01:44:31.560
Thrones before I came out here and
finishing Tales of Borderlands, we finished Game

1792
01:44:31.560 --> 01:44:35.199
of Thrones. I'm gonna play it. It was like shockingly well received.

1793
01:44:35.760 --> 01:44:41.720
Some people say it's some really nice
things about it against the trailers we would

1794
01:44:41.720 --> 01:44:44.840
put up on the site. I
think we one of our active deck points

1795
01:44:44.880 --> 01:44:46.520
was like people care about the story
and by yeah right, and then would

1796
01:44:46.520 --> 01:44:48.560
get like an extreme pushback. It's
like, no, dude, I like

1797
01:44:48.600 --> 01:44:51.039
the story, and Bordlands it's like
okay, buddy. It was always just

1798
01:44:51.119 --> 01:44:55.800
kind of there for me. Yeah, And Tales from the Borderlands seems to

1799
01:44:55.800 --> 01:44:59.760
make an active attempt to be like
we're gonna try and make this for people

1800
01:44:59.760 --> 01:45:02.199
that maybe didn't care for the story, and Borderlands like get a little bit

1801
01:45:02.199 --> 01:45:06.800
away from the meme stuff about Borderland's
two story is like a little overplayed,

1802
01:45:06.840 --> 01:45:11.840
but it seems to be less like
snarky in that way and in a little

1803
01:45:11.880 --> 01:45:14.920
more like trying to create some interesting
character. It also feel like they're trying

1804
01:45:14.920 --> 01:45:16.840
to tell a much smaller story,
you know. It's about these characters that

1805
01:45:16.840 --> 01:45:19.399
are just trying to create a caper, you know, and it's it's a

1806
01:45:19.439 --> 01:45:24.520
sort of about like it's it seems
to be told in flashback to the weird

1807
01:45:24.600 --> 01:45:28.039
caper they got themselves involved in,
but it's not really about like, you

1808
01:45:28.079 --> 01:45:30.920
know, saving the world or any
of that, not not yet. But

1809
01:45:31.359 --> 01:45:33.880
I think I think it benefits from
that because when I saw eighty three,

1810
01:45:34.119 --> 01:45:38.199
I was prepared to absolutely hate it, and I found myself more interested in

1811
01:45:38.199 --> 01:45:40.159
it than I thought I would be. Still probably not going to play it.

1812
01:45:41.479 --> 01:45:44.760
Uh, I played it when like
okay, it's one of these tell

1813
01:45:44.800 --> 01:45:46.880
tale games. Yeah, okay,
all right, cool, I just I

1814
01:45:46.920 --> 01:45:51.279
can't it's actually it's it's I feel
and I felt the same way when that

1815
01:45:51.399 --> 01:45:56.520
Ron Gilbert kickstarter came along of just
like, man, I feel like,

1816
01:45:56.760 --> 01:46:00.159
you know, we saw a second
rise and fall of adventure games for me

1817
01:46:00.640 --> 01:46:03.479
where it's just like I don't want
to I don't care about the second part

1818
01:46:03.520 --> 01:46:05.920
of Broken Age. I don't care
about like all this stuff is like whatever,

1819
01:46:06.079 --> 01:46:11.079
just I'm I'm done. I really
like I didn't. I didn't finish

1820
01:46:11.079 --> 01:46:13.319
the first act, like I got
part way through its point, like dude,

1821
01:46:13.359 --> 01:46:17.159
I can't uh, and just that
style of gameplay went away for me

1822
01:46:17.279 --> 01:46:21.680
again and like give it twenty years, maybe we can do it again.

1823
01:46:23.199 --> 01:46:25.880
Did you did at least get to
the part where Alex for Coppolis shows up?

1824
01:46:26.079 --> 01:46:27.720
No, I don't think I did. I don't know. I don't

1825
01:46:27.760 --> 01:46:30.000
remember. Is he a character in
the game. He's voice is a character

1826
01:46:30.000 --> 01:46:33.640
in that game with the name a
guy with no okay, but character,

1827
01:46:34.800 --> 01:46:41.520
he's the guy you unfreeze. Uh. I'm pretty sure that he says his

1828
01:46:41.600 --> 01:46:43.920
name is Alex. Does he?
Yeah? I don't remember that, but

1829
01:46:44.000 --> 01:46:46.199
yeah, that's that. Acropolis is
the Tony Dan's video game voice acting.

1830
01:46:46.680 --> 01:46:50.399
Was that supposed to be this year? It just got They just got bumped

1831
01:46:50.479 --> 01:46:55.239
next year literally today? Oh really? Yeah, man, if you're a

1832
01:46:55.279 --> 01:46:58.239
backer, you'll get access to a
version of it by the end of the

1833
01:46:58.279 --> 01:47:00.880
year. But the finalized one of
the ear with with like an oddly specific

1834
01:47:00.960 --> 01:47:04.479
message about what they have left to
do. Yeah, Like they spent like

1835
01:47:04.520 --> 01:47:08.439
three paragraphs saying like like, what
we just got done doing this, so

1836
01:47:08.479 --> 01:47:10.600
now we got to go down to
LA and record last of the d O

1837
01:47:10.800 --> 01:47:13.520
and then these animations are going in. It was just like this. It's

1838
01:47:13.520 --> 01:47:15.479
like with the way that some of
the space based stuff went there, they're

1839
01:47:15.479 --> 01:47:16.359
in a position where they kind of
have to be as specific as they can

1840
01:47:17.199 --> 01:47:20.439
up. They have so many different
projects. I'm glad they would do something.

1841
01:47:21.079 --> 01:47:25.840
It sounded a little bit like preemptively
trying to, yeah, get in

1842
01:47:25.920 --> 01:47:29.399
front of people going like, why'd
you just like spend all the money on

1843
01:47:29.439 --> 01:47:30.960
hookers and blow? Where's the game? You know? Well, I mean

1844
01:47:30.000 --> 01:47:32.680
they've get you know, they've the
space Base had. Do you think games

1845
01:47:32.720 --> 01:47:36.279
get made? Then? You know
they had you know, uh, you

1846
01:47:36.319 --> 01:47:40.159
know another game going to early access
like it's there, and you know,

1847
01:47:40.399 --> 01:47:45.800
weird Spot right now as a company
for sure. Indeed, are there any

1848
01:47:45.880 --> 01:47:48.279
other big games that I haven't thrown
out? That's somebody? Or small games?

1849
01:47:48.680 --> 01:47:56.920
Freeze about three? Three? I
love three? What's one plus two?

1850
01:47:56.920 --> 01:48:06.319
Brad? I'll be out here three. When does twenty forty eight come

1851
01:48:06.359 --> 01:48:09.880
to the Xbox one? That's why
I want to know about No? It

1852
01:48:09.920 --> 01:48:13.119
plays great. I was wondering how
they would do the thing to where you

1853
01:48:13.159 --> 01:48:15.600
know, if you slide your finger
over the screen but don't let go,

1854
01:48:15.800 --> 01:48:17.079
you know, you can kind of
preview how the tiles are going to shift.

1855
01:48:17.560 --> 01:48:19.960
But it's cool. It's the right
stick does all that, so you

1856
01:48:19.960 --> 01:48:23.600
can shift it and it won't lock
anything in the place with the right side.

1857
01:48:23.960 --> 01:48:26.960
Use the deep patter left stick to
actually move them. But I mean,

1858
01:48:27.039 --> 01:48:30.439
it's it's exactly what Threes was.
It doles out the achievements like crazy.

1859
01:48:30.520 --> 01:48:35.760
I played like three games, I
got like five hundred achieving points.

1860
01:48:36.039 --> 01:48:40.319
It gives you a two hundred achieving
points playing in snap mode. Don't lie

1861
01:48:40.359 --> 01:48:42.960
you're a little bit interested. I'm
a little bit more. I mean,

1862
01:48:42.960 --> 01:48:45.079
threes is a great game. Yeah, but I bought threes once on a

1863
01:48:45.119 --> 01:48:50.479
device that is perfectly suited to play
threes, and I can play it while

1864
01:48:50.520 --> 01:48:55.479
doing something else and having that something
else exist in a full screen way.

1865
01:48:55.520 --> 01:48:58.039
What if I told you this,
Jeff, when I was testing it earlier,

1866
01:48:58.319 --> 01:49:00.079
I've played Threes on the right side
out of the screen, while on

1867
01:49:00.079 --> 01:49:03.399
the left side of the screen.
Was nWo sold out ninety seven? What

1868
01:49:03.479 --> 01:49:09.359
if I told you I could play
threes on my phone while having nWo sold

1869
01:49:09.359 --> 01:49:14.199
out ninety seven full screen on a
TV. Or what if I told you

1870
01:49:14.239 --> 01:49:17.880
I could play threes full screen on
my television using my Xbox One that I

1871
01:49:17.920 --> 01:49:23.199
bought for money while watching nWo sold
out in ninety seven on my phone.

1872
01:49:23.359 --> 01:49:26.039
Those are all possibilities. Yeah,
exactly. The world is my oyster.

1873
01:49:26.079 --> 01:49:29.960
I don't need to split screen share
time with anything if everything gets its own

1874
01:49:30.000 --> 01:49:32.880
screen all screen. This is the
wrestling screen. This is the three screen

1875
01:49:34.119 --> 01:49:40.439
howe your yeah masking tape that I
wrote like wrestling screen on the TV.

1876
01:49:41.560 --> 01:49:45.720
Did you see did you see this
completely unsubstantiated rumor going around about like a

1877
01:49:45.760 --> 01:49:50.199
new Xbox one interface coming, No, like to somehow coincide with what I

1878
01:49:50.239 --> 01:49:55.520
was ten? Huh? I mean
with it? Like, is any part

1879
01:49:55.560 --> 01:49:58.000
of the rumor like, well,
with connect gone, we're just going to

1880
01:49:58.079 --> 01:50:02.439
move completely. It was. It
was vague and I almost feel stupid bringing

1881
01:50:02.439 --> 01:50:06.199
it up because it was very much
like message board scuttle butt style, like

1882
01:50:06.319 --> 01:50:09.960
I just still got a Windows ten
event coming, and like did they do

1883
01:50:10.039 --> 01:50:13.159
that all over again? I don't
know, like that worked so potably for

1884
01:50:13.199 --> 01:50:16.960
them last time of one OS if
the one one esthetic in OS approach for

1885
01:50:17.039 --> 01:50:19.279
multiple device, but that it would
be what they would be getting away from

1886
01:50:19.279 --> 01:50:23.239
to a certain extent, because the
Windows ten OS is such that you couldn't

1887
01:50:23.319 --> 01:50:27.119
duplicate it on a console because it
is just old Windows. But when you

1888
01:50:27.119 --> 01:50:30.239
bring up that start menu, it
has tiles like Windows eight did in the

1889
01:50:30.239 --> 01:50:31.479
start menu. Oh, so you're
saying would be a new interface, it

1890
01:50:31.520 --> 01:50:35.079
would be something okay, there would
it would distensibly like you would think that

1891
01:50:35.119 --> 01:50:39.560
they would that would be their chance
to move away. It would be engaged

1892
01:50:40.319 --> 01:50:44.520
to yeah, to like save face
though, like instead of saying like it

1893
01:50:44.640 --> 01:50:47.680
didn't really work on the first time, you would be able to say,

1894
01:50:47.720 --> 01:50:51.000
well, we're making it more like
Windows ten. We decided to go more

1895
01:50:51.039 --> 01:50:55.920
Windows ten. So they can't do
that because yeah, Windows ten just is

1896
01:50:55.960 --> 01:50:59.359
a PC. It's Windows ten is
Windows seven with its slightly different start menu.

1897
01:50:59.800 --> 01:51:04.159
Like you can't make a console look
like oh innovation, Yeah, gives

1898
01:51:04.199 --> 01:51:09.439
me what I'm right. So now
you're just getting away from that rade.

1899
01:51:10.319 --> 01:51:13.720
So they could you know this this
they could very well. I mean obviously

1900
01:51:13.920 --> 01:51:16.439
I think they will totally redesign the
UI at something like will it be next

1901
01:51:16.479 --> 01:51:20.199
year? Like I don't know.
Yeah, hearing you talk last week about

1902
01:51:20.279 --> 01:51:24.479
about trying to wraankle the party interface
for master Chief and stuff like that,

1903
01:51:24.520 --> 01:51:28.359
and like they I thought the party
interface was like Junkson's Day one. Like

1904
01:51:28.359 --> 01:51:30.520
and they've done work too, and
they're still just crazy. You know,

1905
01:51:30.640 --> 01:51:32.600
it's still they. I don't know
if you've seen. They made a bunch

1906
01:51:32.640 --> 01:51:36.039
of changes to snap interface too.
There's that little pop up now do you

1907
01:51:36.039 --> 01:51:39.439
know what I'm talking about it?
Maybe it's a little four away. It

1908
01:51:39.479 --> 01:51:42.720
looks like a deepad when you snap. Now, oh no, you do

1909
01:51:42.960 --> 01:51:45.000
have guy button? Yeah, double
tap the X button and it'll pull it

1910
01:51:45.079 --> 01:51:47.720
up. It's yeah, let's just
switch between the two pains and a couple

1911
01:51:47.760 --> 01:51:50.520
other things. So you be you
would you would double tap that button and

1912
01:51:50.560 --> 01:51:56.439
it would just swap pains, right, yeah, sum that even more difficult,

1913
01:51:56.439 --> 01:52:00.359
Like what it's not difficult? Why
are you snapping to get with?

1914
01:52:00.359 --> 01:52:02.640
You have that? Tell you have
to? No, you don't. I

1915
01:52:02.640 --> 01:52:05.680
want a snap option that is never
snapped. Just give me a checkbox somewhere

1916
01:52:05.680 --> 01:52:11.239
that things has never fucking snaps.
Just a button, says fussy, And

1917
01:52:11.680 --> 01:52:14.680
and that's that's that. If you
view achievements in the game, you can

1918
01:52:14.720 --> 01:52:16.439
only view them snapped, and I
think that those are mistakes what it made.

1919
01:52:16.439 --> 01:52:19.640
That is what I'm getting at.
The added functionality. They added this

1920
01:52:19.680 --> 01:52:24.119
little four way thing, the selector, but it's not enough. I can't

1921
01:52:24.119 --> 01:52:27.439
believe they salvage that view. I
didn't know they added that, Like I

1922
01:52:27.439 --> 01:52:29.720
I couldn't live without that. I
don't know how you would get it.

1923
01:52:30.159 --> 01:52:34.039
It's it lets you switch between the
two. It's context like SNAP, so

1924
01:52:34.920 --> 01:52:38.960
I could be playing a game.
Well that's about example. If you have

1925
01:52:39.000 --> 01:52:42.000
achievement snap to the right, you
could switch between like okay, now I

1926
01:52:42.039 --> 01:52:45.199
want to switch over to Hulu,
like change the Snap application or go back

1927
01:52:45.199 --> 01:52:48.479
and forth, you know, or
unsnap. Yeah, yeah, I guess

1928
01:52:48.600 --> 01:52:51.239
like that's the things like since I
have connects, yeah, I mean,

1929
01:52:51.439 --> 01:52:54.640
I don't know if you can alter
it from that thing, but I know

1930
01:52:54.720 --> 01:52:56.960
you can't. But I think you
have to go like into the settings to

1931
01:52:57.000 --> 01:52:59.560
alter that, which is like really
goofy thing to go all the way to

1932
01:52:59.720 --> 01:53:01.079
do that. It seems like a
concession to the fact that a lot of

1933
01:53:01.079 --> 01:53:03.760
people don't have connects now right,
Yeah, they wouldn't have to do this.

1934
01:53:03.880 --> 01:53:08.000
You can't say unsnap and stuff like
that. And I only know about

1935
01:53:08.000 --> 01:53:10.840
it because I watched the like Major
Nelson, like here's what's new on the

1936
01:53:10.920 --> 01:53:14.079
dashboard update video last time my friend
I was playing with that to tell me,

1937
01:53:14.119 --> 01:53:16.760
he's like he's just but yeah,
like I feel like there are too

1938
01:53:16.760 --> 01:53:21.359
many things that they are just like
stuck together with bubble gum and you know

1939
01:53:21.960 --> 01:53:26.319
it's it's it's a lot of stuff
like the breadcrumb trail of like like that

1940
01:53:26.319 --> 01:53:28.760
that case of like sometimes you hit
the B button and oh, a game

1941
01:53:28.800 --> 01:53:30.760
is launching. How did that happen? What the fuck is going on?

1942
01:53:30.920 --> 01:53:33.079
Or you go to messages and it
launches the last thing you were in,

1943
01:53:33.079 --> 01:53:38.199
so suddenly it's launching a game again, and like that that stuff is messed

1944
01:53:38.239 --> 01:53:42.119
up, just so finding the goddamn
settings menu and that thing Jesus like on

1945
01:53:42.399 --> 01:53:45.479
top of ex useful for that,
on top of all of other advantages.

1946
01:53:45.600 --> 01:53:47.439
Like that's one reason I find myself
on the PS four a lot more,

1947
01:53:47.479 --> 01:53:51.600
just because like you know, you've
got that interfaciated with fat well, that

1948
01:53:51.640 --> 01:53:56.039
interfaces got some issues, but it's
still straightforward, Like it's still pretty quick

1949
01:53:56.079 --> 01:53:59.119
to get to where you need to
go without wondering like what am I doing

1950
01:53:59.159 --> 01:54:00.840
here? Like, where am I
game? So do I need to double

1951
01:54:00.840 --> 01:54:02.239
tap a certain button to make a
thing pop up to do what I want?

1952
01:54:02.399 --> 01:54:04.840
Or you know, I feel like
that. You know, my suf's

1953
01:54:04.840 --> 01:54:09.479
been really good with the firmer updates
and they have they keep adding like interesting.

1954
01:54:10.199 --> 01:54:12.640
I don't know if they're useful because
I don't know, like who how

1955
01:54:12.640 --> 01:54:15.720
many people actually care? But like
they added that what's on thing, and

1956
01:54:15.720 --> 01:54:17.920
that rolled out in the US now
I think it's only in the preview dash,

1957
01:54:17.920 --> 01:54:19.720
but now it's like one of the
top bar things is what's on.

1958
01:54:19.800 --> 01:54:24.680
It'll show you like some Twitch broadcasts. But also it's just like here's trending

1959
01:54:24.800 --> 01:54:30.279
television. Here's TV ship programs that
other people are watching right now, like

1960
01:54:30.279 --> 01:54:32.920
an NFL game or the oscar.
Like it's kind of interesting because you're if

1961
01:54:32.960 --> 01:54:35.159
it's real data. It's interesting because
you look at it and go like,

1962
01:54:35.359 --> 01:54:42.600
man, everyone watches shit, but
Dynasty's on right now? Now, I'm

1963
01:54:42.600 --> 01:54:46.439
good, I'm good. You click
over this Fast and Furious marathon right that

1964
01:54:47.359 --> 01:54:51.239
setup like you know the trending television
show the Year at the Game Awards,

1965
01:54:51.319 --> 01:54:55.079
right, yeah, no, that's
what the trending television show the House the

1966
01:54:55.119 --> 01:54:58.720
cards, but you know, like
you can see what Twitch channel somebody's watching

1967
01:54:58.800 --> 01:55:00.000
on the friends list, you know, ye, click through and like go

1968
01:55:00.039 --> 01:55:03.000
to that channel. Yeah. There's
there's some great stuff. There is great

1969
01:55:03.039 --> 01:55:08.479
smart stuff with the Xbox One interface, but it's just not quite there for

1970
01:55:08.600 --> 01:55:12.479
the game stuff. For for some
of that stuff like like party could still

1971
01:55:12.479 --> 01:55:15.159
be smoother, and you know,
they're getting into and out of a game,

1972
01:55:15.640 --> 01:55:17.359
like I feel like they just there. Maybe there needs to be a

1973
01:55:17.439 --> 01:55:20.640
more prominent notification they're like, hey, you have a hot game running in

1974
01:55:20.640 --> 01:55:25.239
the background. Yeah, and that
sort of stuff. Everything. It feels

1975
01:55:25.239 --> 01:55:29.199
like a band aid for interface.
It's sort of like but you know,

1976
01:55:29.279 --> 01:55:31.319
a bunch of committees. Yeah,
but you know, I just might never

1977
01:55:31.359 --> 01:55:35.399
stoke yea like forever. I'll give
them at least some credit for like iterating

1978
01:55:35.479 --> 01:55:39.479
quickly, even if it's not like
fixing some of the core issue, Like

1979
01:55:39.520 --> 01:55:43.439
they have fixed some core issues along
the way. But I wouldn't be surprised

1980
01:55:43.479 --> 01:55:48.880
if after this entire year was spent
band aiding the entire Xbox One price wise,

1981
01:55:48.960 --> 01:55:50.720
like you know, just going after
a lot of things to try and

1982
01:55:50.720 --> 01:55:55.760
make people happier. If next year
was sort of like like act two,

1983
01:55:55.960 --> 01:55:59.079
which is okay, we sort of
gotten ourselves and to be competitive, and

1984
01:55:59.159 --> 01:56:00.760
like a new inter face would go
along with that, just like your way

1985
01:56:00.760 --> 01:56:04.880
to like completely just reintroduce the machine
to a lot of people. Second acts

1986
01:56:04.960 --> 01:56:09.720
usually pretty dark man. Yeah yeah, I mean if you look at you

1987
01:56:09.720 --> 01:56:13.960
know, Xbox strikes back the price
cut, like the November sale stuff that

1988
01:56:14.000 --> 01:56:15.760
they've been doing, like you know, like sounds like that's been doing really

1989
01:56:15.800 --> 01:56:17.880
really well. And anagotally, you
know, there was like a thread on

1990
01:56:17.960 --> 01:56:21.119
gaff about like post pictures from retail
for Black Friday, and it was all

1991
01:56:21.119 --> 01:56:26.199
these shots of just like you know, Xbox displays with all the bundles gone

1992
01:56:26.239 --> 01:56:28.600
and stuff like that. We like
you take out Bloodborne and like, I'm

1993
01:56:28.640 --> 01:56:30.439
more interested in the Xbox exclusive.
It's going well the bigger you know.

1994
01:56:30.520 --> 01:56:33.920
I mean again this is anacotal that
like for Black Friday, the big difference

1995
01:56:33.960 --> 01:56:38.520
is you've got PS four Bundle at
three ninety nine Xbox Bundle at three twenty

1996
01:56:38.560 --> 01:56:42.119
nine. Yeah, you know like
that that is a big difference at point

1997
01:56:42.119 --> 01:56:45.720
of sale. Yeah, yeah,
what if everybody already bought a PS four.

1998
01:56:45.840 --> 01:56:48.800
There's also that a lot of people. There's probably a few more people

1999
01:56:48.800 --> 01:56:53.039
that could die one. Yeah,
that's it could probably self me more than

2000
01:56:53.279 --> 01:56:56.399
anecdotally. Okay, it's it's it's
a thing that's like, you know,

2001
01:56:56.399 --> 01:56:58.960
it's a it's a solid reminder that, like, you know, this generation

2002
01:56:59.000 --> 01:57:01.439
will last a very long time.
And as much as everyone is quick to

2003
01:57:01.479 --> 01:57:05.960
want to write everyone off for one
mistake or the other people like oh the

2004
01:57:06.119 --> 01:57:10.600
Sony fur More thing, they're fucked
or this Microsoft thing is they're fuck Like,

2005
01:57:10.840 --> 01:57:14.560
no one's fucked yet, I still
want to play most mess up on

2006
01:57:14.600 --> 01:57:17.000
PC, Like I think that's the
Yeah, I mean long term, long

2007
01:57:17.079 --> 01:57:21.199
term. The question is are they
actually both fucked right because the systems are

2008
01:57:21.199 --> 01:57:25.520
not powerful enough or it's just you
know, comes down to those big platform

2009
01:57:25.520 --> 01:57:30.119
exclusives and those enough Like everything that
has been multi console I picked up on

2010
01:57:30.159 --> 01:57:34.119
PC, and I think not have
kno gone wrong? Like the PC has

2011
01:57:34.119 --> 01:57:38.319
been the better version. It's a
shame because I want to play that stuff

2012
01:57:38.359 --> 01:57:43.159
on PS four and Xbox One,
Like you know, Assassin's Creeds would be

2013
01:57:43.199 --> 01:57:45.920
nice to use them. Well you
shouldn't want to play Assassin's Creed on anything

2014
01:57:45.960 --> 01:57:47.520
really. Also, Yeah, fark
arthre was like completely broken from me on

2015
01:57:47.560 --> 01:57:50.640
PC for like really a week.
Yeah, it wouldn't even start well in

2016
01:57:50.720 --> 01:57:55.760
the sense that the scripting broke the
moment that you did the first time.

2017
01:57:55.800 --> 01:57:59.399
You're actually fully control of the character
when you have the meeting with who's the

2018
01:58:00.319 --> 01:58:02.159
Yeah, peg him in and then
the sort of rebels show up and you're

2019
01:58:02.159 --> 01:58:04.760
supposed to sprint to this jeep.
Yeah, Like, the scripting doesn't go,

2020
01:58:05.159 --> 01:58:09.359
We just everyone just stands there,
and so it's of cool, Wait,

2021
01:58:09.439 --> 01:58:13.039
where there's like supposed to be should
blowing up everywhere else there's a couple

2022
01:58:13.039 --> 01:58:15.199
of guns going off, and so
you would like you a YouTube video of

2023
01:58:15.239 --> 01:58:20.039
that, like, So then I
started running forward and the occasionally some of

2024
01:58:20.079 --> 01:58:24.199
the scripting would kick in, like
the icon like go there would kick in.

2025
01:58:24.239 --> 01:58:27.199
So then I'd get in the jeep
and then you just stand Everyone just

2026
01:58:27.199 --> 01:58:30.000
sits there, like the jeep doesn't
go, like your gun doesn't come out.

2027
01:58:30.199 --> 01:58:33.359
So then what I found out was
that if so I would restart to

2028
01:58:33.359 --> 01:58:38.159
the to the previous I go to
my last safe and then it would do

2029
01:58:38.159 --> 01:58:41.199
the same thing would happen. But
if I went to reload the last checkpoint,

2030
01:58:41.279 --> 01:58:44.239
the scripting would kick in and then
I would get to the next sequence,

2031
01:58:44.239 --> 01:58:45.880
which is the driving, and then
you get to the stealth and there's

2032
01:58:45.920 --> 01:58:50.159
like an avalanche thing that happens there. Avalanche would not trigger. Everyone's just

2033
01:58:50.199 --> 01:58:57.119
standing around, like clearly waiting for
the next scripting to occur. Idle chatter,

2034
01:58:57.239 --> 01:59:00.279
I don't chatter is happening, but
the game's not moving on uh.

2035
01:59:00.359 --> 01:59:02.680
And then finally I waited about like
two minutes, and then the avalanche came

2036
01:59:02.720 --> 01:59:06.760
down and then the game just crashed. And so then I looked I looked

2037
01:59:06.800 --> 01:59:10.319
it up. I mentioned this on
twitters, like anyone else running into this

2038
01:59:10.359 --> 01:59:13.680
is just like some people were speculating
because that games, you know, optimized

2039
01:59:13.720 --> 01:59:15.479
for a Nvidio. I have an
ETI card, Like, it's just like

2040
01:59:15.560 --> 01:59:17.680
a weird part of that. Someone
was like, oh, I solve I

2041
01:59:17.680 --> 01:59:20.680
solve all the scripting issues in the
first hour of the game. I just

2042
01:59:20.720 --> 01:59:24.359
all tabbing. I was like,
that's not a solution. And then I

2043
01:59:24.399 --> 01:59:28.279
went to the Steam forums and someone
had the exact exact same issues I was

2044
01:59:28.319 --> 01:59:30.920
having, and I tried to go
through the intro like three or four different

2045
01:59:30.920 --> 01:59:33.159
times crash at the same spot.
They were like, oh, there was

2046
01:59:33.199 --> 01:59:35.319
an issue with the game pad support. So you have to play with the

2047
01:59:35.319 --> 01:59:39.039
mouse and keyboard for the first hour
and a half. Then you can play

2048
01:59:39.039 --> 01:59:43.840
with a game pad and fuck that. And then I bought your egg and

2049
01:59:43.880 --> 01:59:46.359
agent moved on. I think you
made the right choice. Yeah, I

2050
01:59:46.359 --> 01:59:48.439
want to go back. I'm sure
it's like better. It was just so

2051
01:59:48.720 --> 01:59:53.000
infuriated for it to be that broken, that's crazy. Yeah, I didn't

2052
01:59:53.119 --> 01:59:55.840
have any issues of the PC version. Yeah, I'm like six hours in

2053
01:59:55.960 --> 01:59:58.159
on the PC ID. Any issue
I would have an in video, so

2054
01:59:58.159 --> 02:00:01.159
maybe that'd be too Yeah, I
don't know. That's the thing with PC

2055
02:00:01.319 --> 02:00:04.159
games was on some level you never
know. Yeah, you never know what

2056
02:00:04.159 --> 02:00:09.279
you're gonna get with those things.
But generally the quality of ports is great,

2057
02:00:09.439 --> 02:00:13.239
actually better than ports are I guess, like, yeah, that's yeah.

2058
02:00:13.239 --> 02:00:15.760
We've been talking for years about you'd
be soft PC stuff being a fucking

2059
02:00:15.880 --> 02:00:19.560
burning car crash. So it was
weird. Like we played the PC version

2060
02:00:19.560 --> 02:00:23.279
of Unity, which everyone had told
me was just hot garbage, like just

2061
02:00:23.279 --> 02:00:26.079
did not run it could most people
couldn't even get it to load properly.

2062
02:00:26.479 --> 02:00:29.479
Played it on that like that BFS
PC that we looked pretty well, It

2063
02:00:29.479 --> 02:00:32.640
actually ran pretty nicely like that looks
real good key phrase you said, bf

2064
02:00:32.760 --> 02:00:36.159
BC. The largest problem with the
U S S PC ports is incredibly poor

2065
02:00:36.159 --> 02:00:41.079
optimal and that game run like shit, really just garbage. I mean I

2066
02:00:41.119 --> 02:00:43.560
couldn't even load it on my home
machine. It was like two years old.

2067
02:00:43.640 --> 02:00:46.319
So, and you know, they
talk a lot about, you know,

2068
02:00:46.359 --> 02:00:49.520
if their CPU bound or whatever that
stuff, and you know, maybe

2069
02:00:49.520 --> 02:00:55.039
my Sandy Bridge Arab CPU is not
what it needs to do it. Yeah,

2070
02:00:55.079 --> 02:00:58.640
I don't know. Stiller on in
their room, yeah, Cyris,

2071
02:00:59.279 --> 02:01:03.239
Yeah, pull my three dffect ship. Yeah. Well he talking about Assassins

2072
02:01:03.279 --> 02:01:10.359
Creed Unity being busted. It's a
great segue into news and yeah, what's

2073
02:01:10.439 --> 02:01:13.439
news? All right? What are
we in? Week three? Week four

2074
02:01:13.680 --> 02:01:18.640
of our Assassins Creed Unity updates,
Unity Watch continues. Assassins Unity. You

2075
02:01:18.640 --> 02:01:23.279
should just stop watching tweet of the
week. There you go, it's broken.

2076
02:01:25.520 --> 02:01:30.279
I feel like this has to be
the conclusion of the Unity saga because

2077
02:01:30.560 --> 02:01:33.640
they basically posted their maya culpa.
They're like, yeah, we fucked up.

2078
02:01:33.920 --> 02:01:36.119
Well, when you have your when
you have the CEO of the studio

2079
02:01:36.199 --> 02:01:40.600
that oversaw the development of the game, say, I didn't know you could

2080
02:01:40.600 --> 02:01:44.760
have a CEO underneath the CEO.
Yeah, I guess like they're not even

2081
02:01:44.880 --> 02:01:46.600
subsidiaries, they're just what I'm saying, studio, Like this is from your

2082
02:01:46.640 --> 02:01:49.920
honest blot who has been like been
a name since like the first Prince of

2083
02:01:49.920 --> 02:01:54.720
Persia in the modern era. Who
Yeah, and he's listed as the CEO

2084
02:01:54.800 --> 02:01:59.920
of movies saw in Montreal. Like
how just doesn't mean anything? Stock any

2085
02:02:00.000 --> 02:02:00.880
he was off mantre. Yeah,
right, I don't know if you want

2086
02:02:00.920 --> 02:02:05.399
to. Yeah, it's a real
bear market. It's probably pretty low.

2087
02:02:05.960 --> 02:02:14.000
Probably get in ground floor. You
know, it's the culmination of the years

2088
02:02:14.000 --> 02:02:15.880
of innovation and work and blah blah
blah. Unfortunately, at launched, the

2089
02:02:15.920 --> 02:02:19.239
overall quality of the game is diminished
by bugs and unexpected technical issues. I

2090
02:02:19.279 --> 02:02:25.399
want to sincerely apologize expected he makes. It makes you think about that email

2091
02:02:25.439 --> 02:02:30.119
we got from uh, the anonymous
person right again about the quality of Assassins,

2092
02:02:30.119 --> 02:02:34.199
creed unity and all that sort of
stuff like that. Did that person

2093
02:02:34.279 --> 02:02:38.199
know the game was broken? They
blamed a lot. They said that a

2094
02:02:38.199 --> 02:02:40.840
lot of their issues who you know, who knows it could be shifting to

2095
02:02:40.880 --> 02:02:45.399
blame was that the test environments the
dev kits were different than the retail kissues

2096
02:02:45.479 --> 02:02:47.640
in a way that impacted. Yeah, the optimization. I mean that game

2097
02:02:47.680 --> 02:02:51.720
has issues that go far beyond its
technical problems, but but those are significant.

2098
02:02:51.800 --> 02:02:55.279
They did they that was one of
their chief things, like, yeah,

2099
02:02:55.359 --> 02:02:57.439
this this stuff was different than to
be fair, I mean, but

2100
02:02:57.479 --> 02:03:00.479
the PC version was messed up too. I know that. That's where you're

2101
02:03:00.479 --> 02:03:03.319
like, well, that didn't I
mean, I didn't change, you know.

2102
02:03:03.399 --> 02:03:06.760
He kind of his hat in hand
here with this apology. But the

2103
02:03:06.800 --> 02:03:12.760
bigger thing is that they made business
changes. They're no longer selling the season

2104
02:03:12.800 --> 02:03:15.399
pass for this thing. Oh I
heard about that. Yeah, do you

2105
02:03:15.439 --> 02:03:18.359
get a refund if you bother?
So? No, no, Actually,

2106
02:03:18.960 --> 02:03:21.680
this is actually pretty good. They
made They made good, all right,

2107
02:03:23.079 --> 02:03:25.199
as much as you can make good
on this, they made good. So

2108
02:03:25.199 --> 02:03:28.000
so yeah, the season pass.
As as of this message going out last

2109
02:03:28.000 --> 02:03:31.039
week, the season pass was no
longer for sale because all the DLC that

2110
02:03:31.159 --> 02:03:33.880
was to come with the season pass
will now be free for anybody humans the

2111
02:03:33.920 --> 02:03:38.159
game all or just the first piece. It's yeah, it's just the first

2112
02:03:38.600 --> 02:03:41.680
So it's the Dead Kings DLC.
I'm not clear. The Dead Kings DLC

2113
02:03:41.920 --> 02:03:45.399
is free for everyone, So that's
not so that's not the entirety of what

2114
02:03:45.439 --> 02:03:47.960
the season pass would have gotten.
You know, there's also the downloadable two

2115
02:03:48.039 --> 02:03:51.439
D game that they're putting out,
the one set in China. Yeah,

2116
02:03:51.479 --> 02:03:55.560
there's there's like two other major piece
of DLC, so season pass owners,

2117
02:03:55.560 --> 02:03:58.319
so you'll still have to pay piecemeal
for that stuff. Yes, one would

2118
02:03:58.359 --> 02:04:00.359
assume maybe it'll be cheaper as a
result or something like that. Okay,

2119
02:04:01.000 --> 02:04:05.960
okay, So so Dead Kings DLC
is what everybody's getting for free, regardless

2120
02:04:05.960 --> 02:04:09.600
of having the season Pass or not. If you bought the season Pass,

2121
02:04:09.640 --> 02:04:15.399
which was thirty dollars, you get
a free you play point wallpaper. It's

2122
02:04:15.439 --> 02:04:17.680
totally sweet. Thirty thirty free you
play points. No, they are.

2123
02:04:18.039 --> 02:04:23.880
They are giving one of like six
or seven different other Ubisoft games free to

2124
02:04:23.920 --> 02:04:27.760
anybody who bought season pass. But
it's recent stuff. It's like Far Cry

2125
02:04:28.359 --> 02:04:30.720
you could get you could get the
crew of the Crew. Crew as of

2126
02:04:30.760 --> 02:04:33.279
that writing was not even out yet, so like they're giving away like the

2127
02:04:33.319 --> 02:04:38.800
crew. Maybe don't get the crew. I mean no, we don't get

2128
02:04:38.840 --> 02:04:43.560
the crew. Is anybody another?
Yeah? Just like basically playing. Yeah,

2129
02:04:43.640 --> 02:04:47.800
it's this endless chain getting your life. So they had their they had

2130
02:04:47.840 --> 02:04:51.800
their big story about like, hey, we've we've heard some people complaining about

2131
02:04:53.119 --> 02:04:56.960
review stuff and hang on, let
you guys know that it's not getting ahead

2132
02:04:57.000 --> 02:04:59.920
of ourselves here. Is there more? There are stories yet to come.

2133
02:05:00.439 --> 02:05:03.079
You'd be soft. It's just been
ship in the fucking bed left and right

2134
02:05:02.840 --> 02:05:06.359
right this season man, So yes, if you if you bought that season

2135
02:05:06.359 --> 02:05:09.880
Pasty, I love Far Cry,
you're gonna get one of the Far Cry

2136
02:05:09.920 --> 02:05:12.520
is a great game. That's when
it works. If you bought make it,

2137
02:05:12.600 --> 02:05:14.800
if you bought the Unity season past, you should take a look at

2138
02:05:14.840 --> 02:05:16.399
Far Cry for Okay, that's the
one to get. Yeah, one of

2139
02:05:16.439 --> 02:05:20.920
the other ones, Watchdogs, Rayman
Legends, just the newest Just Dance,

2140
02:05:21.119 --> 02:05:26.399
Just Dance, the Crew, Assassin's
Cream, Black Flag. Yep, it's

2141
02:05:26.439 --> 02:05:29.720
like all that's not bad, justically
all the last like half a dozen,

2142
02:05:29.840 --> 02:05:31.520
like Bigby Soft games. If you're
gonna give you another one about the big

2143
02:05:31.640 --> 02:05:35.720
budget sixty dollars games for thirty dollars
season pass, like it's yeah, aren't

2144
02:05:35.720 --> 02:05:40.560
they putting out Anopoly? Can they
get Anopoly for so that they got license

2145
02:05:40.600 --> 02:05:43.239
fees to pay on that? They
can't? Right? What about Tetris and

2146
02:05:43.279 --> 02:05:45.279
they do the most recent Techris npoly
guy gets his money, man, Yeah,

2147
02:05:45.279 --> 02:05:48.199
what did that come out? The
Vita three DS? Tetris come,

2148
02:05:48.439 --> 02:05:53.199
Yeah, I want to get that. What's that called Ultimate? Can you

2149
02:05:53.319 --> 02:05:57.520
put ds again? That was great? That's a good versions so good.

2150
02:05:57.560 --> 02:06:00.239
That's probably ever. I wouldn't say
the best. It's pretty good. Next

2151
02:06:00.039 --> 02:06:03.840
Tetris. What's the other what's the
other better version of Tetris? Tetris?

2152
02:06:03.880 --> 02:06:12.680
That N sixty four Tetris game where
you're building all the Tetris trish. Yes,

2153
02:06:12.760 --> 02:06:15.319
okay, fine, yes, Tetris
is kind of cool. Yes it

2154
02:06:15.399 --> 02:06:18.199
is, but it's not Tetris.
Are you saying that the next version of

2155
02:06:18.199 --> 02:06:21.000
Tetris? You know what I'm saying
was it is the next Tetris or the

2156
02:06:21.000 --> 02:06:25.039
new Tetris. Tetris that's the title
is a friend sixty four? I think

2157
02:06:25.039 --> 02:06:27.600
it was next Test next Tetris.
There was a four player Tetris game.

2158
02:06:27.640 --> 02:06:30.439
Oh yeah, that was and you
built the seven winners of the world by

2159
02:06:30.479 --> 02:06:32.119
breaking all your lines and stuff.
What was the game that broke Tetris?

2160
02:06:32.520 --> 02:06:35.359
I forgot which one it was,
but that's forever. Yeah, like that

2161
02:06:35.439 --> 02:06:41.560
is a like Tetris. As you
know, the Tetris company crackling a little

2162
02:06:41.560 --> 02:06:43.760
bit here is I think, I
think, I think up against your face

2163
02:06:43.760 --> 02:06:47.159
a little bit. The Tetris Company
made that rule change and it is now

2164
02:06:47.359 --> 02:06:51.520
canonical. Those those are the rules
of Tetris that infinite spins in some games,

2165
02:06:51.640 --> 02:06:55.279
the ability to flip it off.
Maybe I don't know. I think

2166
02:06:55.000 --> 02:06:57.479
I want to say it flip it
off every time I come across it.

2167
02:06:57.600 --> 02:07:00.159
Yeah, yeah, Brad, what
else is going on on this? So

2168
02:07:00.720 --> 02:07:04.800
here, just as Ubisoft was cleaning
up there tree Unity mess yeah, which

2169
02:07:04.840 --> 02:07:08.840
is not clean completely. Well,
so you just like that mold, you

2170
02:07:08.920 --> 02:07:11.039
just paint over it. Yeah,
yeah, exactly, Yeah, just paint

2171
02:07:11.039 --> 02:07:12.880
over it. And here's the copy
of farcright for it. Let's just forget

2172
02:07:12.880 --> 02:07:19.600
the same happen. God damn.
So patch three came out for Unity of

2173
02:07:19.960 --> 02:07:26.039
around the same time as this message, and Digital Foundry did an analysis of

2174
02:07:26.079 --> 02:07:30.159
the PS four version then found that
performance was like one point five percent better.

2175
02:07:30.279 --> 02:07:32.880
Yes, so damn all right?
Uh, not exactly out of the

2176
02:07:32.920 --> 02:07:38.800
woods on that one. Yeah,
yeah, but they are they are fixing

2177
02:07:38.840 --> 02:07:41.800
a bunch of bugs. Purportedly.
They also said that the frame rate,

2178
02:07:41.880 --> 02:07:44.800
like there's going to be a frame
rate patch, Well this is not this

2179
02:07:44.960 --> 02:07:48.800
claim to have covered some of that
ground and the kind of didn't. Uh

2180
02:07:48.840 --> 02:07:53.199
it is one point five percent better
now seriously, yep, that's better out

2181
02:07:53.239 --> 02:07:56.920
runs a thirty one. Can we
go five hamps through review scale? Can

2182
02:07:56.960 --> 02:08:00.399
we go raise the score one point
five percent? Not an unill we get

2183
02:08:00.399 --> 02:08:05.199
his zero star rating, it's like
two point three. So yeah, just

2184
02:08:05.239 --> 02:08:09.479
as just as they were kind of
trying to address that stuff they got out

2185
02:08:09.520 --> 02:08:13.479
there about the crew because you remember
what happened with Unity I do and how

2186
02:08:13.640 --> 02:08:20.479
reviews didn't post until noon of launched
day, and said, hey, we're

2187
02:08:20.479 --> 02:08:24.680
gonna address that by not sending it
out to any reviewers at the time problems

2188
02:08:24.720 --> 02:08:30.920
solved. They're just saying there's no
embargo because there's yea exactly a great reviewers.

2189
02:08:31.079 --> 02:08:33.079
Reviewers will experience this game the way
it was meant to be seen on

2190
02:08:33.239 --> 02:08:37.960
full live retail. Basically, they're
pulling the Destiny card by saying, like,

2191
02:08:37.960 --> 02:08:39.319
we're not gonna let you play it
early because it's an online game and

2192
02:08:39.359 --> 02:08:43.119
you need to see it as an
online game. No no coverage embargo,

2193
02:08:43.239 --> 02:08:46.520
just well you'll get it just because
you won't have it, which I mean,

2194
02:08:46.640 --> 02:08:48.439
meanwhile, like the pre orders for
that game unlock at nine o'clock on

2195
02:08:48.479 --> 02:08:52.960
Monday, and I don't know if
they've sent it out yet. We didn't

2196
02:08:52.960 --> 02:08:54.640
get it, but I can't speak
for other outlets. I don't know if

2197
02:08:54.640 --> 02:08:58.199
it's gone out or not. Meanwhile, the servers are up and live.

2198
02:08:58.279 --> 02:09:01.399
So if you managed to get a
retail copy ahead of time by a retail

2199
02:09:01.439 --> 02:09:05.720
store that doesn't give a fuck,
you can play it. And I've so

2200
02:09:05.840 --> 02:09:07.800
that's you know, that's where it
gets super anecdotal, is you know they've

2201
02:09:07.800 --> 02:09:11.039
been running betas for this game for
some time, and if like, I've

2202
02:09:11.039 --> 02:09:16.039
had a lot of different users contacting
me about the crew saying that they fucking

2203
02:09:16.119 --> 02:09:18.199
hate that beta. And then today
after I said that, I you know,

2204
02:09:18.279 --> 02:09:20.000
had to pre order it so we
could, you know, post some

2205
02:09:20.039 --> 02:09:22.840
covers this week, a lot of
people said, like, so I got

2206
02:09:22.840 --> 02:09:26.159
ahold of a copy. It handles
like shit, and a lot of people

2207
02:09:26.319 --> 02:09:28.960
kind of saying that that it is
it is not a good game. So

2208
02:09:30.000 --> 02:09:31.800
what are they saying? That is
technical stuff or just the gameplayer or just

2209
02:09:33.399 --> 02:09:35.239
not a great game. So if
it's anything, if it plays anything like

2210
02:09:35.279 --> 02:09:39.159
the couple of times I played it
at Ubisoft Events. The driving in that

2211
02:09:39.199 --> 02:09:43.000
game is garbage. Then the car's
handle like garbage. Sometimes your car flies

2212
02:09:43.000 --> 02:09:45.119
across the corner. Yeah hopefully,
Yeah, so there is that. I

2213
02:09:45.159 --> 02:09:46.960
just want to know if it still
says Saint Louis in a French way,

2214
02:09:48.039 --> 02:09:50.640
like spelling out Saint and hyphenating it
like they did in the beta, Like

2215
02:09:50.640 --> 02:09:54.279
hopefully that's still in there. Does
the US maps still look like it was

2216
02:09:54.359 --> 02:09:58.319
drawn by an eighth grader from Australia? Okay, but I don't know,

2217
02:09:58.399 --> 02:10:01.119
Like I said, so, like
the first time, the first time I

2218
02:10:01.119 --> 02:10:03.399
played that game, I thought,
this doesn't seem very good at all.

2219
02:10:03.720 --> 02:10:05.920
Then I played it right before E
three this year and thought, you know,

2220
02:10:05.920 --> 02:10:07.960
there's something to this, Like the
parts are almost like a car RPG

2221
02:10:09.199 --> 02:10:11.920
kind of thing, like the idea
behind it, the idea is that kind

2222
02:10:11.920 --> 02:10:13.119
of fun. And then the beta
came out and I saw some of the

2223
02:10:13.159 --> 02:10:16.720
story stuff about like you know,
you gotta take over the gang and your

2224
02:10:16.760 --> 02:10:20.319
brother got killed and they're they're pinning
the murder like you get another Troy Baker

2225
02:10:20.399 --> 02:10:24.760
voice game and you're just like,
look at this, he's in its car,

2226
02:10:26.720 --> 02:10:31.920
And the story seemed like it like
Troy. It made me long for

2227
02:10:31.960 --> 02:10:35.560
the heady days of need for speed. Most wanted the original one. It

2228
02:10:35.680 --> 02:10:39.920
was good in a different way than
I normally do. Uh, Razor Callahan

2229
02:10:41.239 --> 02:10:45.079
is the true character of the adding
games. Like these guys just seem like

2230
02:10:45.159 --> 02:10:48.760
terrible. So so seeing that story
mode and like seeing that they had made

2231
02:10:48.760 --> 02:10:54.159
a Ubi Soft game, like there
are towers that reveal things. It's it's

2232
02:10:54.159 --> 02:10:58.359
a satellite dish you have to drive
up to and sync with to reveal jump

2233
02:10:58.399 --> 02:11:03.399
into a haste with your car,
and you can't stealth murder anyone with your

2234
02:11:03.439 --> 02:11:07.399
car. It's not so so much
stealth stop. Yeah. So like they

2235
02:11:07.880 --> 02:11:11.199
took that design approach, they need
to have applied it to a driving game.

2236
02:11:11.279 --> 02:11:15.600
They need to sit down in a
meeting that listening to twenty fifteen and

2237
02:11:15.640 --> 02:11:18.520
we put the fucking tower in the
game, your fire, fucking fire.

2238
02:11:18.239 --> 02:11:20.359
They need to sit down and go
like, and I think I might have

2239
02:11:20.359 --> 02:11:22.039
said this like last week, the
week before or something. We're like,

2240
02:11:24.119 --> 02:11:26.800
they need to sit down and go, let's make the next Assassin's Creed game

2241
02:11:26.560 --> 02:11:31.920
a linear experience and just have it
no more open world stuff, or let

2242
02:11:33.000 --> 02:11:35.439
the open world open world. It's
like, you know, you go to

2243
02:11:35.479 --> 02:11:39.399
a mission in which they've hand crafted
like this an open zone. You can

2244
02:11:39.399 --> 02:11:43.079
attack it multiple ways, which is
what they tried to do with Unity not

2245
02:11:43.199 --> 02:11:46.600
super well, like there's there are
some cool ways to pull off those assassinations

2246
02:11:46.600 --> 02:11:48.439
we want to but in reality,
like to do to start down a couple

2247
02:11:48.439 --> 02:11:52.600
of smoke bombs just stablish Yeah,
that's all you gotta do. This ninety

2248
02:11:52.640 --> 02:11:56.239
minute mission just took you two and
a half minutes. Yeah, it's interesting.

2249
02:11:56.439 --> 02:12:00.159
I feel like that. Yeah,
the yes, it is. It's

2250
02:12:00.199 --> 02:12:05.119
interesting that they found a way to
apply the ub saw her designed to like

2251
02:12:05.840 --> 02:12:09.199
different genre. It's interesting that that
they are trying to push the limits of

2252
02:12:09.199 --> 02:12:11.880
the I mean it's also push that
and maybe tragic. I mean what's interesting

2253
02:12:13.159 --> 02:12:16.840
watching what's interesting is watching how far
they will go with this. I mean,

2254
02:12:16.000 --> 02:12:20.680
you know, and you start to
wonder why, Like I mean they

2255
02:12:20.720 --> 02:12:22.880
have a zillion employees, yeah right, I mean, they have like a

2256
02:12:22.960 --> 02:12:28.000
trillion fucking studios. It doesn't seem
like there's a great reason for them to

2257
02:12:28.079 --> 02:12:33.520
make every game or the vast majority
of their games or don't play in that

2258
02:12:33.560 --> 02:12:35.880
way. I don't know if you
remember the Naro two games, they made

2259
02:12:35.960 --> 02:12:37.760
less generation, but those games were
the same thing. Really, they were

2260
02:12:37.800 --> 02:12:41.760
open world games. I mean I
think I had fun play, Yeah,

2261
02:12:41.840 --> 02:12:43.760
I remember they being neat games.
It's got to be like a focus testing

2262
02:12:43.760 --> 02:12:46.640
thing, right, Like they just
found this formula that they They've got players

2263
02:12:46.680 --> 02:12:50.680
that they found that they liked it. People like the idea of a map

2264
02:12:50.720 --> 02:12:52.079
full of side content. Yeah,
they don't do it. I don't know.

2265
02:12:52.479 --> 02:12:58.520
And it's it's it's really fucking things
like handles it well fault no no,

2266
02:12:58.840 --> 02:13:05.039
I yeah, every mission is a
five star man just doing street Unity

2267
02:13:05.119 --> 02:13:07.439
opens with a fucking chase mission.
They took the ratings from the last game

2268
02:13:07.439 --> 02:13:11.760
and fucking ignored them and obviously win
against what everyone must have voted because it

2269
02:13:11.840 --> 02:13:16.079
was the worst. It's a pretty
easy chase mission, to be honest.

2270
02:13:16.079 --> 02:13:20.319
I don't give a what's the So
what else do they have? So the

2271
02:13:20.319 --> 02:13:24.960
crew is coming up and then they
have a watch Dogs this year, it's

2272
02:13:24.000 --> 02:13:31.119
the next there's nothing the Division,
the Division and Siege. Yeah, Siege

2273
02:13:31.279 --> 02:13:35.319
probably will not have towers for you, but what if it does. It's

2274
02:13:35.319 --> 02:13:37.319
a multiplayer games. One of the
game. What if one of the hostages

2275
02:13:37.359 --> 02:13:43.159
is a tower climbed the Hostage Siege
was that super short demo where they shot

2276
02:13:43.159 --> 02:13:45.920
through the Yeah, yeah, like
I played that. That was cool.

2277
02:13:46.279 --> 02:13:48.920
It was like a multiplayer focus thing. I don't think The Division is an

2278
02:13:48.920 --> 02:13:50.239
open world game, but who knows. No, I think it is,

2279
02:13:50.319 --> 02:13:54.760
or at least it's open environment.
Maybe I don't. I don't think The

2280
02:13:54.760 --> 02:13:58.319
Division is a game. So yeah, yeah, I just feel like the

2281
02:13:58.399 --> 02:14:01.720
stuff they put on paper, like
the crew on paper sounds really interesting and

2282
02:14:01.800 --> 02:14:05.279
it's like and then to hear that
it's maybe not executed really well, it's

2283
02:14:05.279 --> 02:14:07.119
disappointing. But like if you were
to give me that pitch, it's like,

2284
02:14:07.199 --> 02:14:11.359
yeah, I'm really interested in that. But then that's that's kind of

2285
02:14:11.359 --> 02:14:13.319
a bummer. Well we'll see.
I mean, I you know, by

2286
02:14:13.319 --> 02:14:16.159
the time you hear this, we
should have some coverage on the site probably

2287
02:14:16.319 --> 02:14:18.840
right, Maybe not coverage on the
site, but you know, well we

2288
02:14:18.880 --> 02:14:20.680
will have played some of it.
At least. Do we know which forty

2289
02:14:20.720 --> 02:14:24.079
seven Ubi Soft studios worked on that
game, the crew, I don't.

2290
02:14:24.079 --> 02:14:28.319
I don't keep track of which studio
does. What's that company? It's impossible

2291
02:14:30.079 --> 02:14:33.680
Puma made that. Yeah, I
just the audacity of the message they put

2292
02:14:33.720 --> 02:14:37.800
out so to say, are you
saying it's apology of the year. Is

2293
02:14:37.800 --> 02:14:39.119
that what you're saying, because it's
not apology. This is about this is

2294
02:14:39.199 --> 02:14:43.439
that the crew? Yeah about the
crew? Yea. The crew will be

2295
02:14:43.439 --> 02:14:46.199
available to media to begin their reviews
when the game launches on December second.

2296
02:14:46.800 --> 02:14:50.520
There will be absolutely no embargo on
any type of coverage once the game is

2297
02:14:50.560 --> 02:14:56.119
available for seeing. Thank thanks thanks
for making that clear, Thanks for thanks

2298
02:14:56.159 --> 02:15:00.000
for understanding what the problem was.
This may have been a weird extreme,

2299
02:15:00.359 --> 02:15:01.600
but I feel like this is going
to be the game that goes down in

2300
02:15:01.600 --> 02:15:07.439
history as the last game that people
did this for like had a an embargo

2301
02:15:07.520 --> 02:15:11.640
that was like the morning of release
instead of the midnight because a lot of

2302
02:15:11.640 --> 02:15:15.920
cases is like that's holdover from like
like the concept of a game, you

2303
02:15:15.920 --> 02:15:18.880
know, opening up on midnight at
midnight is still relatively new in the grand

2304
02:15:18.880 --> 02:15:22.760
scheme of things. It's the thing
it was a digital yeah, yeah,

2305
02:15:22.760 --> 02:15:24.000
you know, like you know,
in in the grand scheme of things,

2306
02:15:24.039 --> 02:15:28.600
if we if we take the entire
history of the past couple of generations into

2307
02:15:28.600 --> 02:15:31.239
context, embargos have always been Tuesday
morning because that's when stores opening, they

2308
02:15:31.279 --> 02:15:33.760
go on sale and you'd have supposed
to be the only way to get the

2309
02:15:33.760 --> 02:15:35.760
game exactly, so, you know, and you would have some cases where

2310
02:15:35.760 --> 02:15:39.319
a publisher would step in. Occasionally, Activision would try to claim Wednesday,

2311
02:15:39.319 --> 02:15:43.920
which was hilarious, and you know
at that point you'd go like, no,

2312
02:15:43.920 --> 02:15:46.479
no, we're not going to do
that. Uh. And then sometimes

2313
02:15:46.479 --> 02:15:48.960
you know, you'd have someone try
to push for like Tuesday at noon and

2314
02:15:48.960 --> 02:15:50.680
you'd be like, why, that's
that's not reasonable, Why would you do

2315
02:15:50.720 --> 02:15:52.600
that. I think this is a
case of just like, you know,

2316
02:15:54.439 --> 02:15:56.159
you have a lot of people that
have been doing this for a very long

2317
02:15:56.199 --> 02:16:00.920
time, and at this point,
like like yeah, if if if like

2318
02:16:01.000 --> 02:16:03.479
review sites were like people that are
super focused on reviews, probably should have

2319
02:16:03.520 --> 02:16:07.720
pushed back and said like, no, this needs to go up when the

2320
02:16:07.760 --> 02:16:11.760
game goes on sale. Otherwise I
could be live streaming the game and still

2321
02:16:11.800 --> 02:16:15.760
not review it yet. Like how
that's crazy when you're talking about Yeah,

2322
02:16:16.279 --> 02:16:20.399
when we had to push back to
in the morning show and I had bought

2323
02:16:20.439 --> 02:16:22.560
it the night before it and locked
in midnight's like I can talk about the

2324
02:16:22.600 --> 02:16:28.960
game, and so I'm fucked.
Yeah, Yeah, So it's a it's

2325
02:16:28.960 --> 02:16:31.319
a it's a weird situation, But
I just I look at it as one

2326
02:16:31.319 --> 02:16:35.120
of those weird holdovers, like like, was Ubisoft trying to pull a fast

2327
02:16:35.120 --> 02:16:37.559
one on people? Uh? Probably
a little bit, Probably a little bit.

2328
02:16:37.719 --> 02:16:41.280
Yeah, I'm not necessarily because of
that, because I mean I think

2329
02:16:41.319 --> 02:16:43.760
that they were a little dodgy about
when they were sending that game out to

2330
02:16:43.760 --> 02:16:48.319
begin with, Assassin's Creed usually goes
out pretty fucking early because those games for

2331
02:16:48.399 --> 02:16:52.639
long. Yeah, because those games
are long and they're very confident about I

2332
02:16:52.680 --> 02:16:56.280
think I got it the Unity Thursday
or Friday before it came out. Yeah.

2333
02:16:56.479 --> 02:17:00.760
Unity, we all went out like
like yeah, we would get it.

2334
02:17:00.799 --> 02:17:03.399
We would get a p s three
discs that was like not quite final,

2335
02:17:03.520 --> 02:17:07.360
like maybe a month out sometimes.
And this game there was like it

2336
02:17:07.440 --> 02:17:09.840
was like a black fucking box.
You're like, hey, what's hey,

2337
02:17:09.879 --> 02:17:15.440
what's up? Statins Creed? Nothing? Rogue didn't even show up until I

2338
02:17:15.479 --> 02:17:18.520
didn't get it. I got,
I got Rogue Dave release I got a

2339
02:17:18.559 --> 02:17:24.239
day after Yeah. Yeah, yeah. A similar Shenanigans with w W for

2340
02:17:24.079 --> 02:17:28.280
the current generation consoles, Uh,
to some extent, but that's neither here

2341
02:17:28.319 --> 02:17:31.239
Norther. I feel like there is
some reason for hope like some some publishers

2342
02:17:31.239 --> 02:17:35.639
are coming down, coming around to
modern realities of release timings faster than others,

2343
02:17:35.680 --> 02:17:39.680
you know, like I feel like
Bethesda has been really good about like

2344
02:17:39.760 --> 02:17:43.440
the embargo was always just like well
it's nine am or I'm sorry, nine

2345
02:17:43.479 --> 02:17:45.959
pm the night before release. Yeah, and then and you know, like

2346
02:17:46.040 --> 02:17:48.319
they made that adjustment because people complained
and said like and you know, they

2347
02:17:48.399 --> 02:17:54.000
used to say midnight Pacific and go
like this unlocks at nine pm on Steam,

2348
02:17:54.040 --> 02:17:56.600
like you can't do, and so
they made the adjustment. Like that's

2349
02:17:56.639 --> 02:17:58.920
you know, and that's the adjustment
that everyone is starting to make. Really

2350
02:18:00.040 --> 02:18:01.559
to Clea, the embargo should never
be later than the game that was for

2351
02:18:01.559 --> 02:18:05.639
sale exactly. But you know,
they can set whatever embargo they like if

2352
02:18:05.639 --> 02:18:07.200
you want to agree to that copy
on their terms. And that's where it

2353
02:18:07.239 --> 02:18:09.959
breaks down. It's just like,
you know, do you actually want to

2354
02:18:09.959 --> 02:18:11.360
do that? Yes or no?
And but if you think about stuff,

2355
02:18:11.399 --> 02:18:15.120
if you think about a strong franchise
like Assassin's Creed, which can sell in

2356
02:18:15.239 --> 02:18:18.639
the brand right, like why would
if you and if you feel like the

2357
02:18:18.639 --> 02:18:20.000
reviews are gonna be tepid, like
why would oh yeah, yeah, no,

2358
02:18:20.040 --> 02:18:24.399
I mean yes, I mean like
Bargaret should do this, like they

2359
02:18:24.399 --> 02:18:26.040
should push it as far as they
came to like there's a clear I mean

2360
02:18:26.040 --> 02:18:28.920
that's the thing is, like you
know, like we don't know for sure

2361
02:18:28.959 --> 02:18:30.879
if they did that, but you
know, everything lines up in such a

2362
02:18:30.920 --> 02:18:33.159
way that you look at it and
go like, of course they tried to

2363
02:18:33.159 --> 02:18:35.040
do this because that's their job.
Their job was to sell the most motive.

2364
02:18:35.360 --> 02:18:39.399
They're under zero obligation to send out
copies to the media or anybody ahead

2365
02:18:39.399 --> 02:18:43.399
of release to review the game.
And I think it's also like like a

2366
02:18:43.399 --> 02:18:48.440
bit ties into the way people are
digesting game media and stuff like that,

2367
02:18:48.479 --> 02:18:50.799
like reviews that you know where reviews
fall and like the you know, do

2368
02:18:50.840 --> 02:18:54.959
you need a mouthpiece a review to
let people know about Assassin's Creed? No,

2369
02:18:54.079 --> 02:18:56.719
not really anymore. Well, then
on top of that, like that,

2370
02:18:56.799 --> 02:18:58.680
the whole element of like a streaming
contention, like that's still a relatively

2371
02:18:58.719 --> 02:19:03.120
new phenomenon that I think PR people
are still training. They had they had

2372
02:19:03.559 --> 02:19:05.079
an event like the week before release
where they had a bunch of prominent like

2373
02:19:05.120 --> 02:19:09.200
YouTube stream people or whatever go down
there and capture footage ahead of time and

2374
02:19:09.200 --> 02:19:11.520
all that stuff, and there were
there were people in the days ahead they

2375
02:19:11.520 --> 02:19:15.399
were just streaming the game because they
made individual right commitments with Ubisoft two.

2376
02:19:16.040 --> 02:19:18.639
Yeah they were so yeah, you
know obviously with yeah, like you know,

2377
02:19:18.680 --> 02:19:20.040
the idea the would show positive coverage, right yeah, I mean you

2378
02:19:20.040 --> 02:19:22.200
know, like like you know,
we didn't get a copy of the Crew,

2379
02:19:22.239 --> 02:19:26.559
but sure enough on Monday, like
IgMs like presented by Ubisoft, like

2380
02:19:26.639 --> 02:19:28.959
look at us playing the Crew video
went up you know, so like yes,

2381
02:19:30.159 --> 02:19:33.399
obviously that sort of coverage is still
going to exists of the Crew.

2382
02:19:33.680 --> 02:19:39.399
Yeah. Yeah, the tires of
the Crew. I would love to get

2383
02:19:39.440 --> 02:19:43.200
it. Let's get back into that
line, that era of previews. I

2384
02:19:43.280 --> 02:19:46.239
need a screenshot of a new tire
every day. Yeah, tune in tomorrow

2385
02:19:48.159 --> 02:19:52.760
this we're going to show the level
four tires. Yeah. Oh man.

2386
02:19:52.920 --> 02:19:54.559
Also, here's a stone called Steve
Auson screenshot. I don't know, Yeah,

2387
02:19:54.639 --> 02:20:00.360
that's he's in there. Well.
Well yeah, other video games still

2388
02:20:00.360 --> 02:20:03.319
broken. I've heard that, Drew. Do you have another master Chief update

2389
02:20:03.360 --> 02:20:09.280
for you haven't tried again? Yea, this very anecdotal podcast. Yeah,

2390
02:20:09.319 --> 02:20:13.920
my buddy said it's better, better, but not perfect. Well is it

2391
02:20:13.000 --> 02:20:16.600
still just matchmaking issues? I've seen
all kinds of stuff. I mean,

2392
02:20:16.639 --> 02:20:20.479
it's not it's not like competitive multiplayer
is still the focal point of the problems.

2393
02:20:20.559 --> 02:20:24.159
But I see people tweeting randomly about
like, well, co op crashes

2394
02:20:24.200 --> 02:20:26.680
every time we play at ya,
I've never tried cop yet. Yeah,

2395
02:20:26.799 --> 02:20:30.079
or you know, there were people
going around for a while talking about like

2396
02:20:30.120 --> 02:20:33.559
campaign progress getting reset. I've ever
bet like weird scripting issues and the campaigns

2397
02:20:33.600 --> 02:20:39.120
and stuff. Yeah, it sucks. What's going on? Apparently, I

2398
02:20:39.159 --> 02:20:41.440
can I don't get a game machines
shipped earlier than everyone thought they were going

2399
02:20:41.479 --> 02:20:46.319
to, and all these games are
rushed. I can say I talked to

2400
02:20:46.360 --> 02:20:48.920
someone that I was. I was, I'm allowed to allude to the more

2401
02:20:48.959 --> 02:20:52.600
that's going out in the game,
and the game was extremely rushed. Okay,

2402
02:20:52.280 --> 02:20:56.799
Project shifted around. That game was
accelerated in a way that it was

2403
02:20:56.879 --> 02:21:01.559
not intended to be accelerator. What
the game was going to be maybe you

2404
02:21:01.559 --> 02:21:07.479
know, not known until a little
bit in and the test environment stuff for

2405
02:21:07.520 --> 02:21:11.159
that game did not reflect at all
what happened in the real world in a

2406
02:21:11.159 --> 02:21:15.040
way that they were just completely caught
by surprise. Now, is that is

2407
02:21:15.040 --> 02:21:20.360
that a failure of their test design
or is that a failure of of something

2408
02:21:20.440 --> 02:21:22.520
I like, like did they just
not not play like test it properly?

2409
02:21:22.559 --> 02:21:26.399
Person I talked to wasn't quite sure
whether they were, like the line of

2410
02:21:26.440 --> 02:21:30.600
failure was but that when that game
shift although that game from start to finish

2411
02:21:30.719 --> 02:21:35.120
was hot right when it shipped there, it's not like they shipped to in

2412
02:21:35.239 --> 02:21:37.680
like who pulled a fast one on
everyone, like like they did, they

2413
02:21:37.719 --> 02:21:43.360
had no idea that it was going
to be that fundamentally broken like, which

2414
02:21:43.600 --> 02:21:46.280
which you know, on one hand, it's like, well, great,

2415
02:21:46.319 --> 02:21:48.559
they didn't trick everyone with like a
game that that was like messed up.

2416
02:21:48.600 --> 02:21:50.799
But on the other hand, it's
like, how did that get out?

2417
02:21:52.040 --> 02:21:54.239
How did that? You know,
like how does how does that failure in

2418
02:21:54.280 --> 02:21:58.479
the system occur? It's probably partially
of column A that it was rushed and

2419
02:21:58.520 --> 02:22:03.799
then part of column B and that
like just the I don't fire. I

2420
02:22:03.840 --> 02:22:07.000
don't if it's failure in QA,
like stress testing is difficult, the stress

2421
02:22:07.000 --> 02:22:09.120
testing, but also you know it's
stress testing, Like you know, it's

2422
02:22:09.120 --> 02:22:11.360
easy to look at it and go
like it's just Xbox Live. That thing

2423
02:22:11.360 --> 02:22:15.879
has worked for like a decade,
but they have made significant changes to how

2424
02:22:15.920 --> 02:22:20.479
a lot of that stuff works and
suggesting that's a simple process to figure all

2425
02:22:20.479 --> 02:22:22.600
this ship and it was they would
have flipped a switch and be fun.

2426
02:22:22.639 --> 02:22:26.319
But yeah, it's you know,
like it's fucking crazy that that thing is

2427
02:22:26.360 --> 02:22:30.040
what it is. Yeah, especially
because it's it's not just day one,

2428
02:22:30.120 --> 02:22:33.040
it's not just two, it's not
like the first week. It's like,

2429
02:22:33.399 --> 02:22:35.600
you know, are we were approaching, we were approaching a month of this

2430
02:22:35.639 --> 02:22:39.159
game being out, So how long? And Drive Club has been out?

2431
02:22:39.159 --> 02:22:43.159
You know, like there's another so
Drive Club they gave away the first similar

2432
02:22:43.200 --> 02:22:46.120
to the Assassins Creed stuff they gave
where the first DLC that's out, Now

2433
02:22:46.120 --> 02:22:48.280
that's just free. Doesn't work,
it's just free. I have no idea

2434
02:22:48.319 --> 02:22:52.040
I download it at all. I
don't know why. I'm so how long?

2435
02:22:52.360 --> 02:22:56.200
How long was better you've got?
I do? I put that big

2436
02:22:56.239 --> 02:22:58.799
hard about a year? And okay, so that's still kind of be the

2437
02:22:58.799 --> 02:23:03.000
wreck, right, just like like
just fucked up functionality. Well, you

2438
02:23:03.040 --> 02:23:05.719
know, Battlefield was one of those
cases where plenty of people were having no

2439
02:23:05.840 --> 02:23:09.280
problems, plenty of people were having
serious issues, so it was a little

2440
02:23:09.559 --> 02:23:11.959
less I mean, yeah, like
when it was broken. It was broken,

2441
02:23:13.040 --> 02:23:16.239
but you know, they were it
seemed like they were getting there the

2442
02:23:16.239 --> 02:23:18.360
whole time. But then also with
Battlefield, part of it was the PR

2443
02:23:18.399 --> 02:23:24.159
approach, which was pretending everything was
fine, like then everything's cool, even

2444
02:23:24.159 --> 02:23:26.319
though all these serious problems, like
at least you know, with three for

2445
02:23:26.440 --> 02:23:31.239
three UB stuff like three three for
three is now issued like several maya kulpas

2446
02:23:31.639 --> 02:23:35.520
did you come across as like heartfelt
and not particularly robotic even if but there's

2447
02:23:35.520 --> 02:23:39.200
a lot of well so, I
mean, there is some genuine contrition in

2448
02:23:39.239 --> 02:23:43.680
this this latest apology. They finally
stepped it up to Bonnie Ross, who

2449
02:23:43.719 --> 02:23:48.159
was the head three four three.
Can't come much higher than Phil Spencer.

2450
02:23:48.239 --> 02:23:50.079
You're getting outside of the Halo group
if you go any higher than her.

2451
02:23:50.600 --> 02:23:54.600
But she, you know, she
posted another big, you know, a

2452
02:23:54.639 --> 02:23:58.559
more general statement about you know,
you haven't received the experience you deserve and

2453
02:23:58.600 --> 02:24:01.239
etcetera, etcetera. Uh, but
it sounds like they're also going to give

2454
02:24:01.280 --> 02:24:05.319
away free stuff. Yeah, I
just wonder what that ended. They don't.

2455
02:24:05.520 --> 02:24:07.440
She doesn't go in any detail,
but she just says, our primary

2456
02:24:07.440 --> 02:24:11.440
and continued focus is first on fixing
the issues in hand. Once we've done

2457
02:24:11.479 --> 02:24:13.159
that, we will detail how we
will make this right with our fans,

2458
02:24:13.200 --> 02:24:16.680
which I don't I don't know what
that would be. Think of a give

2459
02:24:16.760 --> 02:24:20.719
out. I'm sure it's gonna be
something nice. Season past. Yeah,

2460
02:24:22.040 --> 02:24:24.079
then get you you know free.
I mean Halo five is a year away,

2461
02:24:24.120 --> 02:24:26.959
so I don't know what they do
in the interim, Like, I

2462
02:24:28.000 --> 02:24:30.879
don't think a free TV show is
gonna cut it. No, well,

2463
02:24:30.920 --> 02:24:35.840
you know they do have another Spartan
whatever whatever. That doesn't seem I'm not

2464
02:24:35.879 --> 02:24:43.559
saying it's a good. You would
free Halo Wars as as a good.

2465
02:24:43.040 --> 02:24:46.879
So what is new in the Master
collection? It's I mean, it's just

2466
02:24:46.920 --> 02:24:50.239
it's Halo two has been done the
same way Halo one was the like select

2467
02:24:50.239 --> 02:24:54.200
the graphic style. Yeah, and
then with three and four are also upgrade.

2468
02:24:54.280 --> 02:24:58.319
Yeah, they're uprest. And then
they have the multiplayer like they have

2469
02:24:58.360 --> 02:25:03.440
every map all those games and the
correct physics per game, and it's done

2470
02:25:03.479 --> 02:25:05.600
the one, for lack of a
better word, executable. Yeah ok.

2471
02:25:05.719 --> 02:25:11.200
Yeah yeah, Like if it worked
like it's supposed to, it's kind of

2472
02:25:11.200 --> 02:25:13.559
an amazing problem. Yeah, I
agree, Like people like Drew and it's

2473
02:25:13.559 --> 02:25:16.959
some other like super hardcore Halo fans
I know, were like super excited.

2474
02:25:18.120 --> 02:25:20.959
It sounds like a pretty big feat. Yeah, I'm still excited for it.

2475
02:25:22.040 --> 02:25:26.600
Can't wait to play it. Yeah, don't telling how long that's gonna

2476
02:25:26.639 --> 02:25:28.319
take. I mean they've put out
multiple patches where they basically said like,

2477
02:25:28.319 --> 02:25:31.040
all right, this is the one
that's gonna fix it, nip, and

2478
02:25:31.079 --> 02:25:35.239
then that betas in three weeks,
right, yes, yea, which if

2479
02:25:35.559 --> 02:25:39.079
if you think about like all,
like you know, obviously it's terrible that

2480
02:25:39.120 --> 02:25:41.840
people bought this game and they're not
having the time they want it, but

2481
02:25:41.879 --> 02:25:45.840
it's like it's also like essentially this
was the beginning of like the pr campaign

2482
02:25:45.840 --> 02:25:48.120
for right, a little five stuff
leak out ahead of time, Like they

2483
02:25:48.159 --> 02:25:50.879
just say everything was on fire all
at once for those guys. So it's

2484
02:25:50.920 --> 02:25:56.760
like like, hopefully by the time
the Five's beta starts, you'll be able

2485
02:25:56.760 --> 02:26:00.680
to you know, actually play the
Master shipection because you launched that through you

2486
02:26:00.719 --> 02:26:03.079
do, Yeah, and like I
still have you well I guess maybe I

2487
02:26:03.079 --> 02:26:05.879
haven't tried, but like that Halo
Nightfall stuff is supposed to launch through the

2488
02:26:05.879 --> 02:26:09.680
Halo channel, and when we tried
in the quick look, it just said

2489
02:26:09.680 --> 02:26:13.040
like you need to buy a master
Chief collection to watch this, Like we

2490
02:26:13.079 --> 02:26:18.440
are launching it from them, I'm
talking about I haven't tried it this last

2491
02:26:18.440 --> 02:26:26.239
time I did, but oh yeah, you sound enthusiastic this Like it's intentatively

2492
02:26:26.799 --> 02:26:30.319
enthusiastic. It's a huge franchise for
them, Like you don't want to suck

2493
02:26:30.360 --> 02:26:31.600
that one up. It is the
It is going to be the game that

2494
02:26:31.799 --> 02:26:35.319
a bunch of kids now with purchasing
power, grew up on. Right,

2495
02:26:35.399 --> 02:26:37.920
is there, Like, oh,
the first game I played was Halo and

2496
02:26:37.959 --> 02:26:41.319
like I love that thing, and
like you know, it's their Nintendo,

2497
02:26:41.360 --> 02:26:46.520
it's their Zelda, and like you
are introducing and you're introducing concept. It's

2498
02:26:46.600 --> 02:26:48.639
totally true that I mean that I
think came out and what wouldn't it Halo?

2499
02:26:50.440 --> 02:26:54.000
They deserve better than so like now
you're trying to introduce that series to

2500
02:26:54.000 --> 02:26:56.239
a bunch of kids on a new
console, right, and be like check

2501
02:26:56.239 --> 02:26:58.479
out Halo. It's broken, right, And it's like, you know,

2502
02:26:58.520 --> 02:27:03.000
you're trying to leave people into Halo
five. That's terrible. Yep, I

2503
02:27:03.040 --> 02:27:05.159
feel bad for him. Yeah,
it's a shame. You know, I

2504
02:27:05.200 --> 02:27:07.360
don't know what they do. I
mean, if nothing else couldn't they just

2505
02:27:07.399 --> 02:27:11.200
like credit people like twenty bucks of
Xbox Live credit or something. Yeah,

2506
02:27:11.200 --> 02:27:15.639
they could. I mean I'm just
trying to think of twelve bucks. Is

2507
02:27:15.639 --> 02:27:16.879
it really? Yeah? It was, they think it was. It was

2508
02:27:16.920 --> 02:27:20.440
five on Origin for like a day. You know what they could you know,

2509
02:27:20.479 --> 02:27:22.959
what they could do is they could
put out an updated version of the

2510
02:27:22.959 --> 02:27:28.559
Best Halo Game and give that away
for free. Halodest not in the package.

2511
02:27:28.920 --> 02:27:31.680
The Best Halo Game is not in
the package. You can update that,

2512
02:27:31.879 --> 02:27:33.959
get that jazzy soundtrack. I don't
know, would you actually trust them

2513
02:27:33.959 --> 02:27:37.040
to updated at this point everything else
going on? And then if you know,

2514
02:27:37.079 --> 02:27:39.639
if it's free and they haven't directly
attached money to it, or they

2515
02:27:39.680 --> 02:27:43.319
gonna actually do a good job.
I just want to play an up Residents.

2516
02:27:45.319 --> 02:27:50.280
Really, you give away something you're
already made, you can't you can't

2517
02:27:50.319 --> 02:27:52.559
put new resources behind make good?
Right? Or if they were going to

2518
02:27:52.600 --> 02:27:56.079
do odst as like an add on
to the Master Chief collection and now they

2519
02:27:56.120 --> 02:27:58.360
just say screw it, finish it
and just put it out for free for

2520
02:27:58.399 --> 02:28:01.000
everyone. Yeah, I mean,
here all these unsolved, like you know,

2521
02:28:01.360 --> 02:28:03.520
they're they're willing to obviously like take
some losses, like you know,

2522
02:28:03.639 --> 02:28:05.799
the price cuts for the console and
stuff like, you know, they're in

2523
02:28:05.840 --> 02:28:09.840
the middle of trying to sell the
console two people generally, you know,

2524
02:28:11.000 --> 02:28:13.360
like bigger issue is that they can't
sit around on this. They can't stowe

2525
02:28:13.399 --> 02:28:16.319
to their thumbs, like whatever they're
gonna do for people that needs to happen

2526
02:28:16.360 --> 02:28:18.319
soon. Well, they've been writing
a lot of apologies, so I don't

2527
02:28:18.319 --> 02:28:20.879
think they're sitting on their thumbs at
least. Yeah, yeah, but yeah,

2528
02:28:20.959 --> 02:28:24.680
just the larger issue of games shipping
broken, you know in an extravagant

2529
02:28:24.680 --> 02:28:28.319
way that they that we haven't seen
in a good long time. Last last

2530
02:28:28.360 --> 02:28:31.000
year that had a pretty good run
at it, how many how many games

2531
02:28:31.840 --> 02:28:33.440
between but it was like but it
was like basketball and it was Battlefield,

2532
02:28:33.520 --> 02:28:35.479
right, well, it was something
that was launch, and it was something

2533
02:28:35.520 --> 02:28:39.479
that was it was lunch. It
was something that was happening where it was

2534
02:28:39.799 --> 02:28:41.879
a big deal. And I feel
like now it's more like, oh,

2535
02:28:41.959 --> 02:28:45.120
this is still lappening. How many
games have you guys played this year that

2536
02:28:45.200 --> 02:28:48.600
had multiple hard crash problems like in
this is where you had to reboot the

2537
02:28:48.639 --> 02:28:52.200
system multiple times while playing Throat.
The ones that I had were related to

2538
02:28:52.280 --> 02:28:56.879
that two point er firm where on
the PS four but that was it,

2539
02:28:56.920 --> 02:29:00.239
so it was kind of Sony's fault. Okay, Yeah, I've had like

2540
02:29:00.239 --> 02:29:01.879
like multiple review games where I'm just
like, oh, hey, here are

2541
02:29:03.159 --> 02:29:05.879
semi repeatable crash bugs that just seem
to keep happening, game stopping and that's

2542
02:29:05.879 --> 02:29:09.520
the kind of stuff that like it
happened every once in a while in the

2543
02:29:09.559 --> 02:29:13.440
past, but usually that ship was
the kind of stuff that they wouldn't let

2544
02:29:13.479 --> 02:29:16.360
you through sert because of Yeah,
and yeah, yeah, when I wonder

2545
02:29:16.360 --> 02:29:20.239
if like the consoles themselves are slightly
half baked in that sense, Yeah,

2546
02:29:20.280 --> 02:29:22.559
it's like if like that's the thing
that that two point o firm made me

2547
02:29:22.600 --> 02:29:24.520
kind of realize, like, man, like maybe some of this stuff is

2548
02:29:24.559 --> 02:29:28.079
just not ready for prime time to
begin with, and they're just fucking making

2549
02:29:28.120 --> 02:29:31.239
it up as they go, because
if they can put out firmware that breaks

2550
02:29:31.319 --> 02:29:37.239
like multiple upcoming games and the existing
games and exist and some existing games just

2551
02:29:37.319 --> 02:29:41.920
keep functions of the system. Like
EA was sending out messages to reviewers saying,

2552
02:29:41.959 --> 02:29:43.280
don't play the PS four version of
Dragon Age and it is broken,

2553
02:29:43.639 --> 02:29:46.639
it will corrupt your save don't do
it two point. Oh, don't do

2554
02:29:46.680 --> 02:29:50.000
it? Like how does that happen? Like like how right? I had

2555
02:29:50.000 --> 02:29:54.360
a weird thing with Sunset Overdrive where
I downloaded enough to start playing it yeah,

2556
02:29:54.360 --> 02:29:58.079
and then let me play it and
then it said it finished and then

2557
02:29:58.200 --> 02:30:01.959
didn't open up any of the story
missions. While I was playing, I

2558
02:30:01.000 --> 02:30:05.079
was just running around doing those trials. I'm like, this is fuck Brad

2559
02:30:05.159 --> 02:30:09.360
dumb, but this guy kind of
sucks. Like I'm just running literally and

2560
02:30:09.600 --> 02:30:11.760
like no missions. I'm like to
the point where I'm like this game can't

2561
02:30:11.760 --> 02:30:15.719
be this bad. I have to
go look something up. Uh, And

2562
02:30:15.760 --> 02:30:16.600
it was oh, you know first
mission here, I'm like, what the

2563
02:30:16.639 --> 02:30:20.559
fuck is going on? I did
delete it, download it again, the

2564
02:30:20.959 --> 02:30:24.760
tire game downloaded again, didn't play
it, and then as soon as I

2565
02:30:24.799 --> 02:30:26.840
booted it up, it was the
dude being like, hey, go here,

2566
02:30:26.840 --> 02:30:31.600
we're getting I'm gonna make you a
namp and do whatever it happened.

2567
02:30:31.600 --> 02:30:33.440
You probably could have just a leader
to save. I want to just hit

2568
02:30:33.600 --> 02:30:37.719
start and like closed the game.
No booted, like pull the power out,

2569
02:30:37.799 --> 02:30:41.239
like the whole thing to be like
this is, you know, trying

2570
02:30:41.280 --> 02:30:43.600
to get that thing working. Try
to blow on the disc you know all

2571
02:30:43.600 --> 02:30:46.120
that ship. Yeah, when I
played D four, the same thing happened,

2572
02:30:46.120 --> 02:30:48.440
and which like it gave me the
indicator like hey, you can start

2573
02:30:48.440 --> 02:30:50.680
playing, which I figured I had
that too, where it's like, okay,

2574
02:30:50.760 --> 02:30:52.719
I'll just jump in and play like
whenever the first twenty minutes till like

2575
02:30:52.879 --> 02:30:56.479
hopefully keep floating or it tells me
to to wait. And jumped in and

2576
02:30:56.520 --> 02:30:58.840
it said like, hey, you
need to purchase the episodes. It's like,

2577
02:30:58.879 --> 02:31:03.319
well I did, Okay, I'm
ready to go. So I backed

2578
02:31:03.319 --> 02:31:05.799
out, shut down the application,
waited for it to finish, jump back

2579
02:31:05.840 --> 02:31:09.520
in, and it said, hey
you should think about personal yeah, you

2580
02:31:09.559 --> 02:31:11.319
know, and then I started it
over like shut down, the machine turned

2581
02:31:11.319 --> 02:31:15.840
it back on like everything hard,
reset and we're all good to go.

2582
02:31:16.440 --> 02:31:18.920
Lach is a hate thing about my
beause I had that problem with resu Gun

2583
02:31:18.959 --> 02:31:22.440
when they put out that resume on
Heroes Update, where it just never acknowledged

2584
02:31:22.479 --> 02:31:24.920
that I had purchased that DLC and
I could redownload. The whole thing is

2585
02:31:24.959 --> 02:31:28.000
many times I want I don't know
it. The PS four has a function,

2586
02:31:28.040 --> 02:31:31.000
and I forget what it's called,
something like rebuild licenses. Oh right,

2587
02:31:31.040 --> 02:31:35.920
yeah, get that store licenses.
Yeah, store licenses, that's what

2588
02:31:35.959 --> 02:31:37.600
it is. But you know,
the three sixty used to have problems where

2589
02:31:37.600 --> 02:31:41.639
you like it would think you were
playing the trial version of an xpla game

2590
02:31:41.680 --> 02:31:45.760
that you had bought and stuff like
that that was like user like multi users

2591
02:31:45.760 --> 02:31:48.559
on one system, and sometimes it
would just get confused, like your you're

2592
02:31:48.680 --> 02:31:50.000
the local copy wasn't but you can. It seem like you can usually just

2593
02:31:50.000 --> 02:31:52.399
go to like purchase full game and
open and clothes and go, oh you

2594
02:31:52.440 --> 02:31:54.000
got it. Yeah, it would, it would do stuff like that.

2595
02:31:54.079 --> 02:31:58.559
But I feel like a lot of
developers have been subverting that, like I

2596
02:31:58.559 --> 02:32:01.840
don't know what the colloquial name for
the like play as soon as it's ready

2597
02:32:01.920 --> 02:32:05.200
thing yea where like like you get
that on the PS four a lot where

2598
02:32:05.239 --> 02:32:09.760
you put in a disc and the
bar will fill up super fast when you

2599
02:32:09.840 --> 02:32:13.879
watch the game, but it's done
and send you to an install screen like

2600
02:32:13.920 --> 02:32:16.719
Destiny did it. GT five does
it. It's like GTA five is the

2601
02:32:16.760 --> 02:32:20.159
most nasty deceptive one My understanding of
GT five Did you download it? I

2602
02:32:20.159 --> 02:32:22.280
did? Okay? Is this how
it works? So when you put the

2603
02:32:22.319 --> 02:32:26.680
disk in, that bar fills in
like twenty seconds. So I downloaded it

2604
02:32:26.840 --> 02:32:30.280
entirely and as it doesn't do the
same thing. Sold. Yeah, it

2605
02:32:30.319 --> 02:32:33.760
downloads like a six hundred meg file
that is the game. And then I'm

2606
02:32:33.799 --> 02:32:37.840
like that can't be right, so
I boot it up. It starts downloading.

2607
02:32:37.959 --> 02:32:41.000
It starts out the game while that
loading screen is on where it's like

2608
02:32:41.000 --> 02:32:46.120
all that like the character stuff makes
it that game loading screen. It took

2609
02:32:46.200 --> 02:32:48.200
out that game. That game is
over fifty gig and you have to be

2610
02:32:48.239 --> 02:32:52.159
in the games. Yeah, so
you just have to dedicate that. So

2611
02:32:52.360 --> 02:32:54.399
it downloads enough for you to launch
the application, but then it downloads the

2612
02:32:54.479 --> 02:32:58.280
entire game after you do it serve
you ads or something while I was doing

2613
02:32:58.280 --> 02:33:01.000
it, if if But there it's
a case to just keep downloading in the

2614
02:33:01.000 --> 02:33:05.360
background and not force you to run
the games so you can exit out of

2615
02:33:05.360 --> 02:33:07.399
there. And I think it'll it'll
keep telling as long as it's like running

2616
02:33:07.479 --> 02:33:11.520
somewhere in the background. I mean, I think Destiny did the same thing,

2617
02:33:11.639 --> 02:33:15.319
right, No, or do did? No Destiny would do a full

2618
02:33:15.360 --> 02:33:20.879
install, uh like from there,
sure you didn't have to launch Destiny to

2619
02:33:20.879 --> 02:33:24.399
get the download started. I feel
like that, Well, it was during

2620
02:33:24.399 --> 02:33:28.879
the the initial Like I bought that
on a disc, so yeah, I

2621
02:33:28.920 --> 02:33:30.719
have it on disc. Also.
I don't know, I just I feel

2622
02:33:30.760 --> 02:33:33.559
like I feel like a lot of
develop developers are not using that feature as

2623
02:33:33.600 --> 02:33:37.440
intended. Yeah, it sounds like
Sony requires it for like a QA thing

2624
02:33:37.520 --> 02:33:39.520
is like, hey, you have
to build this in and they're saying like,

2625
02:33:39.719 --> 02:33:41.840
hey, we're not gonna build you
know, we're not gonna We'll do

2626
02:33:41.879 --> 02:33:45.399
it, but it's not exactly what. To be fair, certain games are

2627
02:33:45.440 --> 02:33:48.879
not given to that type of access, Like like an open world game,

2628
02:33:48.920 --> 02:33:50.639
you kind of need the whole oven
world. They're off the bat if you're

2629
02:33:50.639 --> 02:33:54.200
gonna be able to run around and
stuff. But I don't know, I

2630
02:33:54.440 --> 02:33:56.360
would appreciate a little more care being
given to the messaging on stuff like that.

2631
02:33:56.520 --> 02:33:58.840
Yeah, I like like some of
the features of that are interesting,

2632
02:33:58.879 --> 02:34:01.719
Like you know, Call of Duty
when you buy it digitally and you go

2633
02:34:01.760 --> 02:34:05.040
to download it, asks you if
you want to prioritize single hillyer a multiplayer.

2634
02:34:05.040 --> 02:34:07.760
Oh wow, that was one of
those things that so it does that

2635
02:34:07.799 --> 02:34:11.120
you know, you can pick multiplayer
and it'll download seven gigs and you know

2636
02:34:11.159 --> 02:34:13.840
it'll download single player in the background. I almost wish you could do like

2637
02:34:13.840 --> 02:34:16.040
you can on Steam and just say
like, hey, don't download the single

2638
02:34:16.040 --> 02:34:18.959
player because I don't need it,
Uh, save me the space, but

2639
02:34:20.040 --> 02:34:24.600
it will eventually complete the download.
Sure. So I'm looking at something here.

2640
02:34:24.079 --> 02:34:30.799
It is rewards dot Xbox dot com
slash my missions. It says,

2641
02:34:31.159 --> 02:34:35.959
relive Halo now with legendary rewards.
What hail to the master Chief this December

2642
02:34:37.000 --> 02:34:41.399
when you're you're invited to earn fifteen
thousand rewards credits when you pick up Halo

2643
02:34:41.440 --> 02:34:46.399
games, add ons and videos asterisk
from the Xbox Store. Embrace your intersparting

2644
02:34:46.440 --> 02:34:48.879
with the Halo Master Collection, Halo
videos and more. There's no better time

2645
02:34:48.920 --> 02:34:50.680
to relive the Hailo experience. Claim
your reward. I disagree with that.

2646
02:34:50.719 --> 02:34:56.200
Does anyone know what reward credits are? I think you can eventually turn them

2647
02:34:56.200 --> 02:35:00.959
into Xbox Live dollars like thing rewards. The if you use Bang as a

2648
02:35:00.959 --> 02:35:03.719
search engine, you get like this
fake current. It's it's a separate it's

2649
02:35:03.719 --> 02:35:07.639
a separate program. It's not literally
trying to pay you to use Bang.

2650
02:35:07.760 --> 02:35:11.399
Yeah, the rewards on Xbox dot
Com has been around for a long time.

2651
02:35:11.479 --> 02:35:15.760
Like they they like have surveys that
turn into reward points, and you

2652
02:35:15.760 --> 02:35:20.120
know, if you hit certain tiers
with it. I think I don't know,

2653
02:35:20.000 --> 02:35:24.239
right, it's impressive or it's you
know, that's part of the medic

2654
02:35:24.760 --> 02:35:28.120
what. But it's karate rupees,
so don't worry about it. Okay,

2655
02:35:28.760 --> 02:35:33.719
December first through December thirty first,
So I don't think they're retroactive. I

2656
02:35:33.760 --> 02:35:37.799
don't know. I just saw that
Westland twittered a couple more very quick stories

2657
02:35:37.799 --> 02:35:41.840
to get through before we move on. Kojima is premiering quote metal Gear online

2658
02:35:41.879 --> 02:35:43.799
at the Game Awards this week.
What do you think that is? I

2659
02:35:43.799 --> 02:35:48.120
think it's d MGS five multiplayer,
but maybe I'm wrong. That sounds right,

2660
02:35:48.200 --> 02:35:50.600
that makes sense. I think I
don't give a shit Gear multiplayer,

2661
02:35:50.639 --> 02:35:54.120
like all come on, like another
thing called meta Girl, Well that's the

2662
02:35:54.159 --> 02:35:56.280
thing. The multiplayer in MGS four
was called metal Gear on the right.

2663
02:35:56.319 --> 02:35:58.879
I mean, it's just it's gonna
be that again, but better graphics.

2664
02:36:00.159 --> 02:36:03.120
I mean it's just which it was
never good, I mean, having no

2665
02:36:03.280 --> 02:36:07.520
subsistence for it was never great.
Where where is he doing? Did you

2666
02:36:07.719 --> 02:36:16.159
the Game Awards? Okay, the
Jeff Keeley the Video Game Awards. I'm

2667
02:36:16.159 --> 02:36:18.719
curious Drew, You've spent much of
the last two months playing Medal gear games.

2668
02:36:18.719 --> 02:36:22.840
Have you even thought of the idea
of wanting to play a multiplayer No,

2669
02:36:22.840 --> 02:36:26.280
no, that's not it pops into
my mind. Is like Spies versus

2670
02:36:26.319 --> 02:36:28.079
Marks. The only I mean,
the only thing I'll say in his favor

2671
02:36:28.200 --> 02:36:31.600
is that I think that the Ground
zero is plays better than any Medal Gear

2672
02:36:31.639 --> 02:36:35.680
game. Yeah, like like buy
a country fucking mile. Like the shooting

2673
02:36:35.719 --> 02:36:39.360
is competent, the movement is competent, Like it feels pretty good. Rat

2674
02:36:39.440 --> 02:36:43.319
with shooters and movers is competency.
That's that's what we're looking for, not

2675
02:36:43.600 --> 02:36:48.440
except Meal gear games. In a
serious that's saying yeah, I mean yes,

2676
02:36:48.520 --> 02:36:50.639
when we look at the old medical
games, to play that game and

2677
02:36:50.719 --> 02:36:54.479
just like not even think about like, oh this field's clunky, you're outdated.

2678
02:36:54.559 --> 02:36:56.000
Like to just play it, right, I think it. You know,

2679
02:36:56.079 --> 02:36:58.799
I would like them to go just
super weird with it, But yeah,

2680
02:37:00.159 --> 02:37:03.200
who knows, who knows what it's
gonna because this is they don't do

2681
02:37:03.239 --> 02:37:07.239
that well. Everybody plays a boss
or something like that Big Boss Rush.

2682
02:37:07.319 --> 02:37:11.280
Just thinking of like a little gold
statue of Jeff Keeley holding a BlackBerry,

2683
02:37:11.479 --> 02:37:13.000
just staring at it. That's that's
what you win get. Yeah, that's

2684
02:37:13.040 --> 02:37:18.920
that's your wine. Well great,
Uh, last story that I've got.

2685
02:37:18.920 --> 02:37:22.719
Destiny patch came out today, Yeah, yesterday, I should say, I'm

2686
02:37:22.760 --> 02:37:26.639
sorry. We are one week out
from the release of The Dark Below,

2687
02:37:26.719 --> 02:37:31.120
the first expansion for Destiny, The
Dark Below the Dark yes, the Dark

2688
02:37:31.200 --> 02:37:37.959
Below or the Dark Below Underneath.
Less interested, but then you immediately made

2689
02:37:37.959 --> 02:37:41.959
me start wondering what Dark Blow is. It's like, it's a Destiny drug.

2690
02:37:43.479 --> 02:37:46.479
I'm really curious. We'll give you
a Graham for two strange coins.

2691
02:37:48.559 --> 02:37:52.440
Those friend prices, yeah, no, friend prices are one strange coming is

2692
02:37:52.440 --> 02:37:58.079
the only show up once a week
though, Yeah, you're we you can

2693
02:37:58.120 --> 02:38:01.799
farm it, but there's a lot
of processing. So that's the only reason

2694
02:38:01.799 --> 02:38:03.600
I even brought this up because I
barely played Destiny in the last month.

2695
02:38:03.680 --> 02:38:09.760
But this patch basically lops hours off
of the end game. Ground sounds like

2696
02:38:09.799 --> 02:38:13.719
this, It sounds like the thing
they do to Wow, you're saying there's

2697
02:38:13.719 --> 02:38:18.680
no better time to get no better
time They basically I mean for people who

2698
02:38:18.680 --> 02:38:20.920
didn't spend a lot of time in
the Destiny end game. There are a

2699
02:38:20.920 --> 02:38:24.280
bunch of materials that you have to
run around the world finding to upgrade your

2700
02:38:24.360 --> 02:38:26.680
endgame gear. They have now made
it so you can just go buy those

2701
02:38:26.719 --> 02:38:30.600
materials from vendors in the town.
Because it's like when you were getting helium,

2702
02:38:30.600 --> 02:38:33.639
like ring around. You can buy
helium for like an actual pittance.

2703
02:38:33.680 --> 02:38:37.959
It's like it's not pen band guards
pretty cheap, which is like you get

2704
02:38:37.040 --> 02:38:39.719
thought that, Yeah, you could
get that in there capped. So there's

2705
02:38:39.719 --> 02:38:43.239
a weekly limit on how many Vanguard
marks you can get out of it.

2706
02:38:45.200 --> 02:38:50.760
No, what Brad is someone who
collected a whole bunch of helium? Yeah,

2707
02:38:52.319 --> 02:38:56.239
I mean, hey, man,
helium was a lot of fun.

2708
02:38:58.639 --> 02:39:01.000
And don't even get me started on
Relic Iron. What a good time.

2709
02:39:01.719 --> 02:39:05.079
Fuck Relic Iron. That's just the
worst. I didn't spend as we're like,

2710
02:39:05.120 --> 02:39:07.600
I'll come on, I wasted a
lot of time. Yeah, it

2711
02:39:07.600 --> 02:39:09.840
sucks that I but I mean I
if I had to put a number on

2712
02:39:09.879 --> 02:39:11.920
it, I bet I ran around
for like two hours cumulatively on the moon

2713
02:39:13.000 --> 02:39:15.440
looking for that shit. Like I
know people who've done way more than that.

2714
02:39:16.000 --> 02:39:18.280
Because I did not max my characterized
at a certain points said fuck this,

2715
02:39:20.639 --> 02:39:22.639
but yeah, it's totally the it's
totally the wow expansion thing of like,

2716
02:39:24.159 --> 02:39:26.399
let's make the previous content. We
wondered if they were going to trivialize

2717
02:39:26.520 --> 02:39:31.440
the content, and it just seems
content. They just made the ramp shorter.

2718
02:39:31.440 --> 02:39:33.440
I didn't expect it to happen so
fast. Do you think part of

2719
02:39:33.479 --> 02:39:35.840
that might be driven by a lot
of people just hitting a wall and going

2720
02:39:37.040 --> 02:39:39.879
yeah, I wonder if their numbers
are down and this is like a way

2721
02:39:39.920 --> 02:39:43.440
to get them back in prior to
or I don't if I don't make them

2722
02:39:43.479 --> 02:39:46.280
indicating that the content and that expansion
is going to be high level, that's

2723
02:39:46.280 --> 02:39:52.040
maybe a problem. I bet,
like most expansions just trivialize everything, right

2724
02:39:52.079 --> 02:39:54.399
as soon as it comes out,
Yeah, you'll just get better here,

2725
02:39:54.479 --> 02:39:56.040
yeah, yeah, in your first
draw. I mean, the expansion content

2726
02:39:56.079 --> 02:40:01.680
has to be leveled appropriately for like
returning player, Like they can't say,

2727
02:40:01.719 --> 02:40:03.200
hey, you gotta be thirty to
play this ship because like you know,

2728
02:40:03.239 --> 02:40:09.120
there's a bunch of people that are
just excluded from that, right, But

2729
02:40:07.840 --> 02:40:11.840
uh yeah, I mean there's still
aspects of it that require a lot of

2730
02:40:11.840 --> 02:40:13.680
grinding. It's only for exotic weapons
that they have reduced a lot of the

2731
02:40:13.719 --> 02:40:22.000
requirements, which is what fourth the
gear that you're using, Exactly, It's

2732
02:40:22.040 --> 02:40:24.399
it's you know, one weapon,
one arm or slot can be taken up

2733
02:40:24.399 --> 02:40:28.200
with exotics at a given time.
So I just, I just I didn't

2734
02:40:28.200 --> 02:40:31.000
expect these types of changes to happen
before new contents start coming out. I

2735
02:40:31.079 --> 02:40:39.799
know it's when age we live in
Jason is distraught by this new I don't

2736
02:40:39.799 --> 02:40:41.079
I don't think. I don't think
you necessarily have to look at it as

2737
02:40:41.079 --> 02:40:43.440
like a reactive move, like we're
losing people, we got to get them

2738
02:40:43.479 --> 02:40:48.799
back. It's just you know,
we're raping. Yeah, that's that stuff

2739
02:40:48.840 --> 02:40:52.680
shouldn't have been they have begun Well
yeah, yeah, you're right, But

2740
02:40:52.719 --> 02:40:56.840
then who would still be playing in
Destiny? Like everybody would have hit thirty?

2741
02:40:56.200 --> 02:40:58.680
Why shouldn't exactly? I mean there's
no good reason for that, like

2742
02:41:00.040 --> 02:41:01.959
out like putting it a bunch of
bullshit, grind stop. I'm not saying

2743
02:41:01.959 --> 02:41:03.959
it's not a good reason to keep
saying that, right, it's just you

2744
02:41:03.959 --> 02:41:05.840
know, that's why they did it, Like maybe they should have put some

2745
02:41:05.840 --> 02:41:09.399
more fucking missions or another planet in
that game. Hey you're in Luck next

2746
02:41:09.440 --> 02:41:16.680
Tuesday? Three missions? Yeah,
problems solid, guys, what are they

2747
02:41:16.680 --> 02:41:22.559
adding they're not oh these missions are
on the moon primarily. Oh great,

2748
02:41:24.440 --> 02:41:28.799
I'm I'm fuck that game. Decited
to play more concent in that game.

2749
02:41:28.920 --> 02:41:33.040
Of course you are. I will
also bullish whatever you're gonna play that ship.

2750
02:41:33.120 --> 02:41:35.520
I will also play that. You
fucking launch testimony this morning. That's

2751
02:41:35.520 --> 02:41:39.120
because you said a patch was that. I told you were both fascious about

2752
02:41:39.159 --> 02:41:41.479
what it was, and then I
saw what they did, and I think

2753
02:41:41.479 --> 02:41:45.959
we both went yeah, fuck,
God damn it. Yeah, yeah,

2754
02:41:46.079 --> 02:41:50.600
I should probably go max that Suros
though. Emails, emails, emails,

2755
02:41:50.639 --> 02:41:54.360
the first email from Charles, I
haven't even know where to send them.

2756
02:41:54.879 --> 02:41:58.879
God damn it. I was getting
to that. I was just going to

2757
02:41:58.879 --> 02:42:03.040
say that the first email Earl's got
summed up almost verbatim at the end of

2758
02:42:03.040 --> 02:42:05.200
the Broken Games discussion, so I'm
going to skip it. It was about,

2759
02:42:05.200 --> 02:42:07.280
hey games, we're broken last year
too. It's not a new trend

2760
02:42:07.920 --> 02:42:13.120
some city battlefield, right, it's
not a new trend. It's just a

2761
02:42:13.159 --> 02:42:16.159
trend that it's not just the a
anymore. Congratulations to be soft. You're

2762
02:42:16.239 --> 02:42:22.239
in the big league. Maybe next
year, Activision. Yeah, that was

2763
02:42:22.239 --> 02:42:24.639
a nice reminder that you know this
is not a new phenomenon, so that

2764
02:42:24.680 --> 02:42:28.680
makes it worse somehow. Anyway,
bombcastt give on dot com is the email

2765
02:42:28.719 --> 02:42:31.920
address where you would send the emails? Okay, if you want them to

2766
02:42:31.959 --> 02:42:35.159
be read, all write that down
on this podcast? It was did you

2767
02:42:35.159 --> 02:42:41.319
write it down? Nd x b
R dot M Okay, I forgot the

2768
02:42:41.319 --> 02:42:45.559
emails. I don't know. I'm
glad that you're here to serve as official

2769
02:42:45.600 --> 02:42:50.079
stenographer for the podcast. I don't
take notes like Patrick does anybody else?

2770
02:42:50.159 --> 02:42:54.879
Right down the email address? Somebody
help? I heard bomb cast bump kit,

2771
02:42:54.000 --> 02:42:56.520
bump kit, bomp Bumpcast's where you
get the dark blow. This is

2772
02:42:56.559 --> 02:43:07.159
not bombast right part? Okay,
Well, since our family style cast,

2773
02:43:09.040 --> 02:43:11.920
uh, since our first series email
got cannibalized, I'm gonna have to start

2774
02:43:11.959 --> 02:43:16.760
with Paul from Oregon, who says
subject line I miss Vinnie one exclamation mark

2775
02:43:16.280 --> 02:43:24.719
only one email body, I miss
Vinnie three exclamation call me. I wonder

2776
02:43:24.760 --> 02:43:26.239
if I wonder if you'd like to
respond to that? Who is that?

2777
02:43:26.319 --> 02:43:37.600
Paul Paul from Oregon? Ali Paul
exclamation Hi Paul, Hi, Paul,

2778
02:43:37.840 --> 02:43:41.799
see you in Oregon. No.
I neglected to mention that it was also

2779
02:43:41.879 --> 02:43:46.319
all caps, so oh wow,
really meant Hi, Paul, there you

2780
02:43:46.399 --> 02:43:50.200
go, great, appropriate, excellent. He's in a fred Meyer somewhere here.

2781
02:43:50.760 --> 02:43:54.319
Uh. David from Los Angeles.
I recently saw the Star Wars teaser

2782
02:43:54.360 --> 02:43:58.000
and I felt a ton of nostalgia, not for the movies, but actually

2783
02:43:58.120 --> 02:44:00.559
for the games, which are a
big part of my childhood teen years.

2784
02:44:00.920 --> 02:44:03.239
Games like Expling, Alliance, the
Dark Forces series, Republic, Amando,

2785
02:44:03.319 --> 02:44:07.000
and Cotur are some of the best
games and their respective genres. It's crazy

2786
02:44:07.079 --> 02:44:09.680
to think there hasn't really been a
good Star Wars game since the end of

2787
02:44:09.719 --> 02:44:13.159
two thousand and five, with Republic, Comando, Cotre two, and Battlefront

2788
02:44:13.200 --> 02:44:16.440
two all coming out within a year
of each other. My question is,

2789
02:44:16.559 --> 02:44:20.760
are there any Star Wars games you
guys want to see made or or Star

2790
02:44:20.840 --> 02:44:26.280
Wars games played out like World War
Two games? Thirteen thirteen Force at least

2791
02:44:26.319 --> 02:44:31.200
three Squadron? Did you like to
god they made a two though? Right?

2792
02:44:33.239 --> 02:44:37.959
Was right? He was manageable,
Mark Squadron? Was I feel like

2793
02:44:37.000 --> 02:44:41.200
that was a game that is beloved
by people that were kids when that came

2794
02:44:41.239 --> 02:44:43.239
out? Yeah, I was,
yes, it was a little bit.

2795
02:44:45.879 --> 02:44:50.600
I still pretty great. Did anybody
not like the Empire like that. I

2796
02:44:50.680 --> 02:44:54.600
think that games sort of size.
I love, I don't like it was

2797
02:44:54.719 --> 02:45:05.840
the Empire. It is a clunky
fuckings. Yeah, that is what a

2798
02:45:05.879 --> 02:45:09.639
great name. Yeah, and the
out run. Don't don't forget about Prince

2799
02:45:09.760 --> 02:45:15.000
She's or Oh yeah, I'm sorry
they never forgot about She's or the spie

2800
02:45:15.040 --> 02:45:18.680
Prince She's or his rap album and
flooring me. Not to forget about the

2801
02:45:18.760 --> 02:45:24.719
Prince She's or I would love with
Prince She's day and everybody's celebrating, I

2802
02:45:24.760 --> 02:45:31.159
would. I would play Yeah,
keep going with current gin hof, I

2803
02:45:31.200 --> 02:45:33.440
would play another one of those.
Didn't they made layer right? That team?

2804
02:45:33.559 --> 02:45:37.799
Yeah, Factor five sucks. That
would have sucked. They and there

2805
02:45:37.959 --> 02:45:43.200
they are no longer five. Last
game, Squatching three was not great,

2806
02:45:43.440 --> 02:45:48.760
that's true. That Leader That's two. One was that the on Foot one

2807
02:45:48.760 --> 02:45:52.920
where you're like going up into the
at s and sah. That one wasn't

2808
02:45:52.920 --> 02:45:56.840
great. Yeah, it was the
There was the like Age of Empires RTS

2809
02:45:56.920 --> 02:46:01.159
game that was pretty good. There
was Grounds Battlegrounds. Yeah, yeah,

2810
02:46:01.280 --> 02:46:07.159
Galactic battle Ground was Rebel Assault,
what a great game Rebel Assault and uh

2811
02:46:07.280 --> 02:46:09.280
well the Jeda nin games are pretty
good. Yeah, that was another good.

2812
02:46:09.319 --> 02:46:15.440
There's another RTS was it Galaxy Masters
of R three D one? Yeah,

2813
02:46:15.600 --> 02:46:20.040
Forceman First Commander. Yeah, Star
Wars games, a lot of Star

2814
02:46:20.079 --> 02:46:22.879
Wars games. I just haven't played
episode one. Racer. That's good.

2815
02:46:22.920 --> 02:46:26.879
That was pretty good. That was
not a sec bomb the arcade. Yeah,

2816
02:46:28.440 --> 02:46:31.120
Racer is fucking incredible. Segon made
one where you actually have hy that

2817
02:46:31.239 --> 02:46:35.639
was Yeah, that's a cool SPI
Ridential arcade. I remember the PC version

2818
02:46:35.680 --> 02:46:39.680
of Racer that I played not being
the worst game, and he wasn't.

2819
02:46:39.840 --> 02:46:41.719
It was one of those things where
it's like, man, I got a

2820
02:46:41.760 --> 02:46:43.840
good three D car. This looks
nice. Yeah. Yeah, benefits of

2821
02:46:43.920 --> 02:46:46.799
that a good sense speed. It
wasn't. Battle Grounds? Is that the

2822
02:46:48.959 --> 02:46:50.639
front Front? The one that they
promised where you can fly between the world

2823
02:46:50.719 --> 02:46:54.559
and this guy, this guy has
included what he refers to as a mini

2824
02:46:54.719 --> 02:46:56.639
rant about battle Front If you want
to hear it, Sure you haven't hear

2825
02:46:56.680 --> 02:47:00.879
the mini rant. I was hopeful
for a resurgence in Star Wars games when

2826
02:47:00.879 --> 02:47:03.319
I heard about a new Battlefront,
but then I heard Dice is making it,

2827
02:47:03.399 --> 02:47:05.360
so it'll probably be way less fun
than the other games in the series.

2828
02:47:05.959 --> 02:47:09.639
Those games were pretty much Bttlefield anyway. Well, yeah, it'll probably

2829
02:47:09.680 --> 02:47:13.200
be more like Battlefield, thus removing
a lot of the crazy power trip fantasy

2830
02:47:13.200 --> 02:47:16.920
stuff from Battlefront one and two and
replacing it with completely underwhelming map destruction,

2831
02:47:18.479 --> 02:47:22.159
tons tons of dust, tons of
dustin bloom, a weapon unlocked system that

2832
02:47:22.239 --> 02:47:26.159
will allow people to put red dot
sites on lightsabers, and we'll have and

2833
02:47:26.280 --> 02:47:30.799
we'll have space levels available only to
people who have the season past. Is

2834
02:47:30.879 --> 02:47:35.000
this person on the dice team that
ran actually got a little bit good close

2835
02:47:35.040 --> 02:47:39.239
to Yeah? Yeah, I'm still
up for game. I'm really curious to

2836
02:47:39.239 --> 02:47:43.959
see what they do with it.
I don't mean take some dust game.

2837
02:47:43.079 --> 02:47:50.399
I'm most curious about that visceral game. Oh, I'm real curious to see

2838
02:47:50.399 --> 02:47:54.239
what that's gonna be like. Yeah, that trailer was awesome. Yeah,

2839
02:47:54.319 --> 02:47:58.639
yeah, you liked it. I
don't know. Fucking broad sword shit.

2840
02:48:00.319 --> 02:48:05.319
People are super pissed about the light
Shut up. Nobody said a fucking word

2841
02:48:05.360 --> 02:48:09.000
about the double ended one. Yeah. People are saying it's unsafe and unrealistic

2842
02:48:09.079 --> 02:48:11.520
to have a hilt on a light. Say it's red. He's a bad

2843
02:48:11.600 --> 02:48:15.200
guy. I don't care about safety. It's a goddamn sword made of light.

2844
02:48:15.440 --> 02:48:20.840
For fuck's sake, they're already fan
edited trailers on YouTube that have like

2845
02:48:20.959 --> 02:48:24.239
cut out the little hilt and people
are your own worst enemies. Yeah,

2846
02:48:24.600 --> 02:48:28.520
I can't make a jerking off motion
big enough. I mean, I agree

2847
02:48:28.559 --> 02:48:31.719
it's a poor design choice, but
it looks pretty cool. Yeah, pretty

2848
02:48:31.760 --> 02:48:35.239
cool, And I'd always go back
to like there is so much more dumb

2849
02:48:35.440 --> 02:48:39.799
shit in Star Wars, Like I
feel like people get up their own ass,

2850
02:48:39.000 --> 02:48:41.399
you mean, like most of Star
Wars. I feel like you like,

2851
02:48:41.639 --> 02:48:43.879
like we're like I'm terrible, Like
what you know, we're arguing about

2852
02:48:43.920 --> 02:48:46.159
garbage here, Like of course it's
gonna be I didn't say that. Like

2853
02:48:46.239 --> 02:48:50.319
the trailer looks pretty good. The
trailer looks like something they can finally get

2854
02:48:50.360 --> 02:48:52.399
this thing back on track, and
you go like, all right, cool,

2855
02:48:52.680 --> 02:48:54.319
and you know who did it?
The guy that made Star Trek good

2856
02:48:54.360 --> 02:49:00.840
again, right, well, not
so much that set in one whatever the

2857
02:49:00.879 --> 02:49:07.040
first second movies also doesn't matter.
Is it making the second Star Wars film?

2858
02:49:07.719 --> 02:49:09.159
True? All right? Yes?
Made luper is right? Yeah,

2859
02:49:09.200 --> 02:49:13.280
Rian Johnson awesome. But like you
go back to the original ones and you

2860
02:49:13.399 --> 02:49:16.760
have like Chewbacca the Giant, like
you know, Gorilla thing shooting a crossbow

2861
02:49:16.840 --> 02:49:20.479
that shoots a lasers. That's like, that would be fucking dumb. I

2862
02:49:20.520 --> 02:49:22.719
don't think that was in the movies. He had a crossbow. I don't

2863
02:49:24.079 --> 02:49:26.399
think in the movies. I think
he's a bowcaster. I don't think that

2864
02:49:26.520 --> 02:49:30.639
was in the movies. I don't
think he ever shot lasers out of that

2865
02:49:30.680 --> 02:49:33.399
thing in the movie. I'm pretty
sure that's a video game thing. When

2866
02:49:33.479 --> 02:49:39.399
he is, he is shooting his
bookster and he's got a bandolier. He'aking

2867
02:49:39.479 --> 02:49:46.639
and we's a bandolier. He never
takes off. He's like his hair is

2868
02:49:46.719 --> 02:49:52.680
his clothes. Anyway, Yes,
more Star Wars. Does everybody feel good

2869
02:49:52.719 --> 02:49:56.920
now? I mean you can't flow
the city in the clouds anyway, that's

2870
02:49:56.959 --> 02:50:01.159
not real old space. Where are
the bathrooms? Just like in Star Wars?

2871
02:50:01.680 --> 02:50:03.600
Who needs a bathroom? Just like
cut a hole in the floor,

2872
02:50:03.680 --> 02:50:05.959
like where's it gonna go? Who
care? Just poop into the sky?

2873
02:50:07.159 --> 02:50:09.639
Who cares? Because a ship?
Because you're even a ground down there planet

2874
02:50:09.760 --> 02:50:16.959
is we know it's a giant collective
of all the racation. Somebody on the

2875
02:50:18.000 --> 02:50:20.879
planet becomes, it becomes a layer
in the ozone. God, we need

2876
02:50:20.959 --> 02:50:26.000
more of that's the That's the one
with his writing is that when they descend,

2877
02:50:26.040 --> 02:50:28.959
Yeah, yeah, he's right in
the real nuts and bolts. One,

2878
02:50:30.040 --> 02:50:33.760
it's like where do people go to
the bathroom? As these questions feeling

2879
02:50:33.760 --> 02:50:35.719
in all the lower holes. He's
got this whole scene of just like,

2880
02:50:35.840 --> 02:50:39.079
hang on, I've got to take
a leak. Okay, let's go,

2881
02:50:41.760 --> 02:50:45.000
and then people are like that totally
wouldn't work. That's crazy looking at the

2882
02:50:45.079 --> 02:50:48.239
lights screen right as they push a
button on R two D two and then

2883
02:50:48.239 --> 02:50:50.760
just pops open. Just pee in
there? Why not? Why would he

2884
02:50:50.799 --> 02:50:54.520
have to run on suffroom with solar
powered? What the fuck? That is

2885
02:50:54.559 --> 02:51:05.879
a great ideas. Robots are people
pedroids? See three p are two deep

2886
02:51:07.239 --> 02:51:11.079
Yep, nailed it. Okay,
I got a job moving on two.

2887
02:51:11.280 --> 02:51:18.040
So unhappy right now? One Auntie
from Finland, Hi, I have a

2888
02:51:18.079 --> 02:51:22.319
couple of questions. If Internet had
a smell, what would it be?

2889
02:51:22.719 --> 02:51:33.879
I'm gonna say burning tires, dried
semen s under a theater seed hugo boss.

2890
02:51:35.840 --> 02:51:41.639
There's other question? Why why are
fantasy dwarves always Scottish because they were

2891
02:51:41.799 --> 02:51:46.680
that's their class. Why engineers always
build turrets they're not in dragon age.

2892
02:51:46.760 --> 02:51:52.040
Right, Mmm, they're gruff.
Yes, I think they're just what's correct,

2893
02:51:52.639 --> 02:51:56.280
But I think, I think and
they're also no way off here.

2894
02:51:56.399 --> 02:52:01.360
But I think in the Tolkien universe, you know, it is very much

2895
02:52:01.600 --> 02:52:07.920
those races represent. Yeah. So
wait, the Elves, the fair people

2896
02:52:09.040 --> 02:52:11.520
of England, the Elves were I
think? No, No, the Irish,

2897
02:52:11.520 --> 02:52:15.600
I'm sorry, they're the fair people
of Ireland. Yes, I've met

2898
02:52:15.680 --> 02:52:16.840
some Irish people. They're not that, they're not that fair, they're not

2899
02:52:16.920 --> 02:52:20.399
that, they're not that mystical.
There here's a pointing. It's weird.

2900
02:52:20.280 --> 02:52:22.000
So wait, I mean, who
are who are the Orcs? Are they

2901
02:52:22.040 --> 02:52:26.920
the Welsh? The French? Probably? Okay? Actually, isn't that where

2902
02:52:26.920 --> 02:52:31.600
like talken like? Yeah, I
think that's the part we don't talk about.

2903
02:52:31.600 --> 02:52:35.239
I'm pretty sure the Orcs are are
like Nazi Germany. I thought are

2904
02:52:35.239 --> 02:52:39.760
supposed to be like lower class like
you actually don't think we want to go

2905
02:52:39.840 --> 02:52:43.879
there. Let's not have this conversation
and blogs about that all right? Then

2906
02:52:46.200 --> 02:52:50.520
in that case, I have to
read another email. Okay, uh,

2907
02:52:50.799 --> 02:52:54.399
Andrew from Maryland? How long do
you think the PS three and three sixty

2908
02:52:54.440 --> 02:52:58.840
servers will stay up? Also,
with everyone's PlayStation Plus and games with gold

2909
02:52:58.959 --> 02:53:03.000
growing backlogs with these games just become
unavailable if not already downloaded through the console.

2910
02:53:03.000 --> 02:53:07.479
I assumed trophies and achievements from these
games would no longer unlocked one's profile

2911
02:53:07.879 --> 02:53:09.879
once the servers are shut down.
I mean, he thinks, you know,

2912
02:53:09.559 --> 02:53:13.479
he's kind of in a roundabout way
saying like how long will the online

2913
02:53:13.479 --> 02:53:18.040
services for the old consoles be around? I think this stuff like hopefully when

2914
02:53:18.040 --> 02:53:20.680
they were building the infrastructure for the
current consoles, they were at least sort

2915
02:53:20.719 --> 02:53:24.120
of thinking about that sort of stuff, and they may not have to shut

2916
02:53:24.200 --> 02:53:28.680
it down. You can't even get
snapped to work right, fair enough,

2917
02:53:28.719 --> 02:53:30.840
fair enough. At some point they
had to slash and burn everything. I'm

2918
02:53:30.840 --> 02:53:35.559
sure, But yeah, I don't
know. I mean, you know that

2919
02:53:35.639 --> 02:53:39.159
we lost stuff on the original Xbox
when Xbox Live went down with you know,

2920
02:53:39.239 --> 02:53:43.479
they had that Xbox Live arcade disc
that was like you can buy Miss

2921
02:53:43.559 --> 02:53:48.120
pac Man from a store using this
disc, uh and various DLC. I

2922
02:53:48.239 --> 02:53:50.920
think they charged for them as Halo
maps at one point, didn't they.

2923
02:53:52.120 --> 02:53:56.639
Yeah? Yeah, so at some
point I want you want to have it

2924
02:53:56.639 --> 02:53:58.719
download it basically like the short the
short answer is buy a big hard drive.

2925
02:53:58.760 --> 02:54:01.719
If you think that stuff's gonna well, I guess you can't really do

2926
02:54:01.799 --> 02:54:05.799
that on those systems, I guess, but I bet everything. They will

2927
02:54:05.840 --> 02:54:11.920
revisit almost every UH franchise sell it
to you again, yes, in congratulations,

2928
02:54:11.959 --> 02:54:16.239
probably version of let's do it like
God, God forbid. We get

2929
02:54:16.280 --> 02:54:20.840
into a situation where they are deprecating
the previous online service every time a new

2930
02:54:20.879 --> 02:54:22.520
one comes out, you know what
I mean. The first Xbox Alive was

2931
02:54:22.600 --> 02:54:26.600
kind of like half formed to begin
with, so you can see why they

2932
02:54:26.600 --> 02:54:28.840
would take that one down. But
like, yeah, but at some point

2933
02:54:28.840 --> 02:54:31.520
you can't keep it all up and
running. No, I mean, if

2934
02:54:31.719 --> 02:54:35.760
you're using the same infrastructure across the
board, then yeah, you absolutely can.

2935
02:54:35.360 --> 02:54:37.399
But there's probably I mean it can. I don't have no idea.

2936
02:54:37.879 --> 02:54:39.799
Who knows how that stuff works.
I mean, you know, anecdotally,

2937
02:54:39.879 --> 02:54:43.159
I have heard that anecdotally. I
think that the PS four infrastructure is maybe

2938
02:54:43.360 --> 02:54:48.079
too similar infrasture totally with you there, but I mean, you know they

2939
02:54:48.159 --> 02:54:50.920
both have commons separate folder on some
side. I mean, I still can't

2940
02:54:50.000 --> 02:54:54.879
change my PSN name, just add
it just is that anecdotal Let me change

2941
02:54:54.879 --> 02:55:00.000
the name. I'll pay you.
They know that, they know that people

2942
02:55:00.040 --> 02:55:03.639
will pay. Just out a field. Here's how I think you can do

2943
02:55:03.719 --> 02:55:05.719
it in Japan. No, no, no, if you can do it

2944
02:55:07.559 --> 02:55:11.840
somebody, there is something core to
the way the PSN stuff is done on

2945
02:55:11.920 --> 02:55:16.840
PS three that makes that incredibly difficult. So on a go forward basis,

2946
02:55:16.200 --> 02:55:22.760
just create another like line in your
database that is current PSN name and just

2947
02:55:22.920 --> 02:55:24.840
you know, like let people you
know just nick names or something. Well

2948
02:55:24.840 --> 02:55:28.600
they use real name for some stuff. But look, I'm not it's it's

2949
02:55:28.680 --> 02:55:31.440
it's not worth it for me to
explain the actual technical how I have solved

2950
02:55:31.520 --> 02:55:35.879
this problem in my mind, not
not knowing anything about the infrastructure, but

2951
02:55:35.920 --> 02:55:37.559
it would totally work. You would
not believe how many people I know who

2952
02:55:37.680 --> 02:55:43.239
get very emotional about wanting to change
their PSN names. But I know a

2953
02:55:43.319 --> 02:55:46.079
lot of Like I can think of
two people in this room who have expressed

2954
02:55:46.200 --> 02:55:48.440
it's a shitty name. I pull
it off a poster in my wall,

2955
02:55:48.680 --> 02:55:54.520
right, I mean about a decade
later. It's not it's not enough that

2956
02:55:54.559 --> 02:55:56.959
we're like losing purchases when systems go
down. I lost purchases when I didn't

2957
02:55:58.000 --> 02:56:01.079
want to use the name game spotting
anymore. Suddenly that name didn't fit me

2958
02:56:01.159 --> 02:56:07.680
anymore. Well, and instead of
actually solving the problem, I just went

2959
02:56:07.799 --> 02:56:15.079
with giant bombing. So that's just
pant forward. I don't know how realistic

2960
02:56:15.120 --> 02:56:16.200
this is, but then this is
I'm just pulling this out of thin air.

2961
02:56:16.360 --> 02:56:22.479
But if something like you know,
the three sixty, I'm sorry,

2962
02:56:22.520 --> 02:56:24.079
that was that was my Oh my
god, it's rubbing on the microphone,

2963
02:56:24.120 --> 02:56:28.280
still happening. I hate these microphones. If they if they were, we

2964
02:56:28.280 --> 02:56:31.639
don't have to keep using them.
Oh god, damn it all only another

2965
02:56:31.760 --> 02:56:35.000
like, sorry, twenty hours of
podcasting with these things. Just take your

2966
02:56:35.040 --> 02:56:37.799
jacket off like I'm doing right now. Ope, this is actually not working

2967
02:56:37.840 --> 02:56:41.239
because of the way the cables are
run. Trap. I'll wear my jacket.

2968
02:56:41.319 --> 02:56:45.440
Look, you're a prisoner. All
I was gonna say was if they

2969
02:56:45.479 --> 02:56:48.680
could maybe rig it so that they're
like like virtualizing the three sixty version of

2970
02:56:48.799 --> 02:56:50.879
Xbox Live, you know, where
they don't have to believe a bunch of

2971
02:56:50.879 --> 02:56:54.799
servers running all the time, but
they can spin them up as as load

2972
02:56:54.840 --> 02:56:56.159
increases and stuff like that, like
whenever I want to play a wick Fable

2973
02:56:56.200 --> 02:57:00.639
of Souls yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, just let them fifteen minutes

2974
02:57:00.639 --> 02:57:03.920
in advance they get the servers up. But you know, it would be

2975
02:57:03.000 --> 02:57:07.280
nice if if ins in like relative
perpetuity, the stuff remained available the power

2976
02:57:07.319 --> 02:57:11.399
of the clouds. So yeah,
totally. I mean at a certain point,

2977
02:57:11.879 --> 02:57:13.520
losing access to purchases and stuff like
that, and it's one of those

2978
02:57:13.520 --> 02:57:16.399
things like you know, I think
it's like people look at the where Windows

2979
02:57:16.639 --> 02:57:20.879
is and I assume, like it
just doesn't happen on the PC. There's

2980
02:57:22.000 --> 02:57:26.520
no guarantee, yeah, that that
will continue. The one thing that's different

2981
02:57:26.520 --> 02:57:28.440
on the PC though, is that
you have if there is a passionate enough

2982
02:57:28.479 --> 02:57:33.040
community, fan bases will figure out
a way to make that game right.

2983
02:57:33.120 --> 02:57:37.840
Like the systems talk too. Again
that just recently got like a proper renovation,

2984
02:57:37.079 --> 02:57:41.200
but that the other Looking Glass games
have had fan communities making that stuff

2985
02:57:41.239 --> 02:57:46.959
work for Well, it's a little
harder with player servers, but like they're

2986
02:57:46.000 --> 02:57:50.000
doing that too. Yeah, you
know, like you can play the Dreamcast

2987
02:57:50.159 --> 02:57:54.200
version of Fantasy Star Online on like
private servers if you try hard enough.

2988
02:57:54.719 --> 02:57:58.440
It's insane, but you can do
it. If you've been doing that,

2989
02:57:58.520 --> 02:58:01.159
haven't you. I've playing it on
the PC. I've been playing Blueburst running

2990
02:58:01.159 --> 02:58:05.239
a private server that is local to
that machine, and I edited the drop

2991
02:58:05.319 --> 02:58:09.799
tables so everything in the first zone
drop spread needles like plus, it's fucking

2992
02:58:09.799 --> 02:58:13.360
great. I did that like a
year ago. People are sick. I

2993
02:58:13.600 --> 02:58:16.600
also ran a World of Warcraft private
server for an afternoon and it was fun

2994
02:58:16.680 --> 02:58:20.120
because you could just type you could
target something and type slash kill and it

2995
02:58:20.159 --> 02:58:22.879
would die, and it was like, man, I should be a GM

2996
02:58:22.120 --> 02:58:26.399
this is fun. Have been.
There was I can't remember the name of

2997
02:58:26.440 --> 02:58:31.040
it. There was a service that
you could a very small steam like surface.

2998
02:58:31.079 --> 02:58:33.200
We could buy games that has gone
out of business. I can't remember

2999
02:58:33.200 --> 02:58:35.680
the name of a bit of bad
like three games from the game gamers Gate.

3000
02:58:37.479 --> 02:58:39.559
It was a gamer's game. No, they're still around bummer for that.

3001
02:58:39.600 --> 02:58:43.760
I can't remember what the it was. But like, I feel like

3002
02:58:43.840 --> 02:58:48.079
there have been things that have just
disappeared and then yeah, but also you

3003
02:58:48.120 --> 02:58:50.959
know like at some point, like
you know, don't we top out on

3004
02:58:52.000 --> 02:58:54.360
this architecture someday and at some point
they have to just say, hey,

3005
02:58:54.440 --> 02:58:58.959
we're making the next version of Windows
for this entirely different CPU that breaks compatibile

3006
02:59:00.360 --> 02:59:03.719
and we can get there, Like
the enterprise concerns would be grave. I

3007
02:59:03.799 --> 02:59:07.000
think that it seems like they've bolted
on, you know, up to sixty

3008
02:59:07.040 --> 02:59:11.559
four. What else do they need
to do? Though Quake Servers is still

3009
02:59:11.639 --> 02:59:13.319
up. Yeah, Quake servers are
still up. I think I think you

3010
02:59:13.399 --> 02:59:18.680
reasonably if they could run the three
sixty MP three stuff till the next generation

3011
02:59:18.719 --> 02:59:20.600
of machines, like if it's if
the PS four and Xbox for whatever,

3012
02:59:20.799 --> 02:59:24.959
like that would be a time then
I think you'd be fifteen twenty years into

3013
02:59:24.959 --> 02:59:28.879
those machines that I think that I
think the outcry would I think the outcry

3014
02:59:28.920 --> 02:59:33.120
would be really minimal at that point. But I think that there's something to

3015
02:59:33.159 --> 02:59:35.559
be said for kind of the historical
for sure, the side of this stuff

3016
02:59:35.600 --> 02:59:39.280
stuff. And that's I mean,
honestly, like if we're getting into the

3017
02:59:39.360 --> 02:59:41.799
historical nature of games that are not
meant to last, and it's to that

3018
02:59:41.840 --> 02:59:45.559
slash and burn stuff, like we're
looking to pirates to save the day.

3019
02:59:45.719 --> 02:59:48.079
Yeah, and when we always have
been its ads like pirates and hobbyists and

3020
02:59:48.280 --> 02:59:50.079
you know, people that are willing
to be like, well we're gonna dump

3021
02:59:50.159 --> 02:59:54.760
this rom, We're gonna find we're
gonna go bias to tell of you e

3022
02:59:54.959 --> 02:59:58.920
proms off of eBay and hope that
we find the game we're looking for because

3023
02:59:58.920 --> 03:00:01.760
they're all unmarked none of them work. And then we're going to try to

3024
03:00:01.799 --> 03:00:05.680
piece together these weird audio broadcasts that
came off a satellite like that. You

3025
03:00:05.719 --> 03:00:07.959
know, like people are willing to
go to extreme lengths for some of this

3026
03:00:07.040 --> 03:00:11.319
stuff. But I don't know that. I you know, like it doesn't

3027
03:00:11.360 --> 03:00:13.360
apply to every single game, like
you know, it's not like every single

3028
03:00:13.440 --> 03:00:16.200
MMO that ever lived has an active
private server community. Like I think you

3029
03:00:16.319 --> 03:00:20.760
can technically play the Matrix online,
but I don't know that they've actually built

3030
03:00:20.760 --> 03:00:22.959
the quests or any of that stuff. Last time, I looked something like

3031
03:00:24.239 --> 03:00:28.120
like Asheron's Call that Microsoft MMMO like
that when they introduced two, they shut

3032
03:00:28.200 --> 03:00:31.680
down one and the community hated too, right, so they brought to this

3033
03:00:31.799 --> 03:00:35.280
day to this day like like the
ash call community just figure out to way

3034
03:00:35.280 --> 03:00:37.079
to Oh they did themselves. They
didn't micro stuff, Okay, I thought

3035
03:00:37.079 --> 03:00:39.799
they sorry, no, no,
no, the communitys figured out and they

3036
03:00:39.879 --> 03:00:43.600
still like an active player base.
Yeah yeah game. And that's it's weird

3037
03:00:43.639 --> 03:00:48.600
because it's like one of those things
that is gray area, quasi legal at

3038
03:00:48.639 --> 03:00:50.719
best and all that sort of stuff. But at some point, like you

3039
03:00:50.799 --> 03:00:54.600
know, like it's why I don't
worry too much about like game preservation stuff

3040
03:00:54.639 --> 03:00:56.920
in this people are like, don't
you worry about all your digital persons?

3041
03:00:56.959 --> 03:01:01.120
Like no, someone will take care
of it. Yeah, it'll get it'll

3042
03:01:01.120 --> 03:01:05.000
get emulated sometimes. Yeah, I'm
pretty complex. Yeah, yeah, three

3043
03:01:05.079 --> 03:01:07.879
D things. I don't know how
easy that would be. I mean,

3044
03:01:07.959 --> 03:01:13.440
the original Xbox has not been well
emulated. Yeah, did they figure out

3045
03:01:13.479 --> 03:01:16.840
the Saturn? Yes, I'm not
completely, not completely, But it's the

3046
03:01:18.680 --> 03:01:20.479
games that they can you can view
the menu or something like that. You

3047
03:01:20.520 --> 03:01:28.120
can play Fighters Mega Mix, so
it's done, all right. I got

3048
03:01:28.200 --> 03:01:31.479
no argument against that. It's a
car that can stand up. Throw on

3049
03:01:31.559 --> 03:01:35.680
the car is to put the fucking
dude's face to the wheel, one of

3050
03:01:35.680 --> 03:01:37.079
the wheels on the car. The
pand is pretty good too, because when

3051
03:01:37.079 --> 03:01:41.879
he attacks, he goes. Yeah, just like like inflatable bear man.

3052
03:01:43.079 --> 03:01:46.760
That that what a great game.
I'm holding out for PEPSI man, we

3053
03:01:46.879 --> 03:01:48.719
all are. He's only in the
Why have the Japanese version fights Megaya?

3054
03:01:48.840 --> 03:01:52.440
I know? Kind of sucker,
all right, Elliott from Hertford. Sure

3055
03:01:52.280 --> 03:01:56.399
the UK, says I come from
the UK, Okay, and as such,

3056
03:01:56.440 --> 03:02:01.200
I'm not too familiar with such things. All I've heard is that hillbillies

3057
03:02:01.319 --> 03:02:05.360
or white trash. He puts those
both in quotes, eat exclusively from bad

3058
03:02:05.399 --> 03:02:09.159
fast food places, love American flags, wrestling and drinking, can be pretty

3059
03:02:09.200 --> 03:02:11.639
slovenly, and are fans of awful
movies. Patrick, They're gonna start talking

3060
03:02:11.639 --> 03:02:15.239
about you here. I know that's
yeah, that's true. I don't know.

3061
03:02:15.479 --> 03:02:20.079
I'm really starting love the site,
and to be clear, I'm a

3062
03:02:20.159 --> 03:02:26.120
big fan of Dan and his mad
cap ways. Sorry. Also thanks me

3063
03:02:26.239 --> 03:02:30.120
for quote great hosting. I think
I lost the subject line Jason, you

3064
03:02:30.239 --> 03:02:31.319
write this one? Did you just
claim to be from the UK? Yeah?

3065
03:02:31.440 --> 03:02:35.639
Sorry, man, I think move
to get this off. The subject

3066
03:02:35.680 --> 03:02:39.000
line was something of the effect of
like is Danny hillbilly or something like that?

3067
03:02:39.360 --> 03:02:43.159
Hillbillies and like Western Kansas, that's
it's all super rural. I was

3068
03:02:43.239 --> 03:02:46.479
very much just like there's no class, there's yeah, well so what do

3069
03:02:46.520 --> 03:02:50.440
you what do you? What would
you define a hillbilly as to somebody who

3070
03:02:50.479 --> 03:02:52.200
does not know? I think I
haven't really seen the show, but like

3071
03:02:52.200 --> 03:02:56.479
when you see stuff like Duck Dynasty
or Larry the Cable Guy. I think

3072
03:02:56.520 --> 03:03:01.200
those are like parodies that those Billy
Jim well just his name, the overall

3073
03:03:01.319 --> 03:03:07.040
big beard, yeah yeah, yeah, the overalls with no shirts. That's

3074
03:03:07.079 --> 03:03:13.680
usually number one signifier. Yeah.
Teeth, he might have something on.

3075
03:03:13.799 --> 03:03:16.639
I guess I think one. You're
a lot of people are missing one teeth.

3076
03:03:16.680 --> 03:03:18.200
Okay, all right, as long
as it's not like a front stoeth.

3077
03:03:18.399 --> 03:03:22.479
Yeah. Yeah. I've always seen
it as like rednecks for like country

3078
03:03:22.559 --> 03:03:26.159
boys driving the trucks and stuff.
Hillbillies were like actual like like hill folk.

3079
03:03:26.440 --> 03:03:30.479
Yes, I feel like Hillbillies a
scary ports somewhere it's going mountain,

3080
03:03:31.079 --> 03:03:33.760
Yeah, like a lot like rocking
chairs, Yeah, a lot of rocking

3081
03:03:33.840 --> 03:03:37.920
chairs. We drove, me and
my dad drove to the Jack Daniels Distillery

3082
03:03:37.200 --> 03:03:41.040
outside of Nashville. I went through
a bunch of like back roads and woods

3083
03:03:41.079 --> 03:03:43.680
and stuff, and there is a
concerning amount of people through the woods there

3084
03:03:43.719 --> 03:03:46.680
that all they do is they're just
sitting on a lawn chair in front of

3085
03:03:46.680 --> 03:03:50.959
their house just looking at the road. They're not reading anything, They're just

3086
03:03:50.159 --> 03:03:52.760
looking at a road. Dude,
that as a country way of living man.

3087
03:03:54.159 --> 03:03:56.680
That's that's where there any where there
any cars up on cynder blocks in

3088
03:03:56.680 --> 03:03:58.319
the front yard. I think they're
actually were. Yeah, I'm gonna saying

3089
03:03:58.360 --> 03:04:03.239
I think my finding hillbilly item is
a banjo. Yeah, I think if

3090
03:04:03.239 --> 03:04:07.719
you annoying hillbilly j yes, yeah, yeah, or you know, like

3091
03:04:07.799 --> 03:04:09.920
blowing on the jug and a sort
of rhythmic okay, now yes, and

3092
03:04:09.959 --> 03:04:13.280
now we're like overalls, no shoes
and a floppy you know, I would

3093
03:04:13.280 --> 03:04:15.559
say, I would say a fiddle
is up there? Okay, not a

3094
03:04:15.639 --> 03:04:18.280
violin of sure? Have you seen
deliverance? Pretty much like that sort of

3095
03:04:18.399 --> 03:04:24.159
unnerving cackling laugh. Sure. Maybe
a mop pole in a bucket with a

3096
03:04:24.319 --> 03:04:30.399
string on it. That's a base
for the good job. Yeah. Thanks,

3097
03:04:31.399 --> 03:04:33.079
I really got it, you know, I'm all about that. I

3098
03:04:33.120 --> 03:04:37.159
mean, most of it was so
low my years couldn't Yeah, yeah,

3099
03:04:37.200 --> 03:04:41.600
it was really I appreciate. I
appreciate the hip Tom for Brighton also UK,

3100
03:04:43.120 --> 03:04:46.079
I have a question for Jeff.
Dear Jeff, how does it feel

3101
03:04:46.079 --> 03:04:52.040
to be nominated for the inaugural Trending
Gamer Award alongside four guys with made up

3102
03:04:52.120 --> 03:05:00.040
fucking names? Much love Tootle pip. I don't know. So that's so

3103
03:05:00.040 --> 03:05:03.840
I was a judge for those awards. Uh And when presented with that category,

3104
03:05:03.520 --> 03:05:09.239
it was presented as like best YouTube
Personality and miss YouTube slash Online Personality,

3105
03:05:11.040 --> 03:05:13.639
and it was not listed as trending
gamer I believe. So one of

3106
03:05:13.639 --> 03:05:16.600
the things you can do is a
nominee is if you're not familiar with the

3107
03:05:16.639 --> 03:05:18.879
category, they don't want you to
just like fill in a bunch of junks.

3108
03:05:18.920 --> 03:05:24.280
So I didn't write anything in.
But at this time, no,

3109
03:05:24.360 --> 03:05:30.520
no, no, no, this
was like them and so I may I'm

3110
03:05:30.559 --> 03:05:33.520
trying to remember if I wrote my
own name in as a joke or if

3111
03:05:33.559 --> 03:05:37.200
I just in the when I was
sending the votes back just said like I

3112
03:05:37.280 --> 03:05:39.159
almost wrote myself in there five times
because I thought it'd be funny. Anyway,

3113
03:05:39.959 --> 03:05:43.000
see you here's my here's my picks, and then I don't. So

3114
03:05:43.079 --> 03:05:46.520
that makes me wonder if like one
of the other judges picked me because I

3115
03:05:46.559 --> 03:05:52.280
think that's funny. So I have
no idea that whole thing. Yeah,

3116
03:05:52.440 --> 03:05:56.200
like I whatever, that category seems
like a poor choice in general, whatever

3117
03:05:56.239 --> 03:06:01.360
seems like a good response. Yeah, yeah, that that thing is is

3118
03:06:01.680 --> 03:06:05.959
funny and silly. And fan voted, So I don't know, like on

3119
03:06:07.040 --> 03:06:09.840
one level you look at it and
go like, I'm like the last bastion

3120
03:06:09.920 --> 03:06:16.719
of video game website men being served
up to the YouTube kids or something like

3121
03:06:16.799 --> 03:06:22.440
that. But whatever, it's whatever. I think it's funny that that picture

3122
03:06:22.559 --> 03:06:26.799
got pulled. I don't know,
like that picture resurfacing yet again. It's

3123
03:06:26.799 --> 03:06:30.879
pretty fucking hilarious technically, I mean
it remains true, yes exactly. I'm

3124
03:06:30.920 --> 03:06:33.760
as someone who's technically on YouTube when
it but but you know it when it

3125
03:06:33.799 --> 03:06:35.760
came out the other end, it
was just trending gamer, which I think

3126
03:06:37.079 --> 03:06:39.440
there are You know, if that
was the name of the category from the

3127
03:06:39.520 --> 03:06:43.399
get go, it could have come
up with five names and they wouldn't have

3128
03:06:43.399 --> 03:06:46.600
been anybody that's on that list.
SIG sixty six, yep, SIG sixty

3129
03:06:46.639 --> 03:06:52.120
six, hot trend, It's true. Connor from Syracuse keeps the Game Awards

3130
03:06:52.200 --> 03:06:56.520
train rolling. I was looking at
the nominees and was surprised that one of

3131
03:06:56.559 --> 03:07:00.959
the categories was the Best Remastered Game. Do you guys really think this is

3132
03:07:01.000 --> 03:07:03.120
a legitimate category to give out an
A War two? And should the Master

3133
03:07:03.280 --> 03:07:07.079
Chief Collection even be nominated for this
category? It also says, where the

3134
03:07:07.120 --> 03:07:11.079
fuck is a strategy game? Because
there's no strategy game category. I'm guessing

3135
03:07:11.159 --> 03:07:15.600
that nomination was put in there before
anyone really knew with the problems with that

3136
03:07:15.680 --> 03:07:18.799
there. Yeah, that's yeah,
by and large, I think that's that's

3137
03:07:18.840 --> 03:07:20.760
probably the case. I like standard
answer is like, it's, you know,

3138
03:07:20.760 --> 03:07:26.120
a testament to what happened to this
year that there are enough remastered games

3139
03:07:26.200 --> 03:07:28.760
like that to put in the category. Yeah, I think so. Yeah.

3140
03:07:28.799 --> 03:07:31.120
And you know, then you get
into like, is that a trend

3141
03:07:31.200 --> 03:07:33.840
that should be rewarded with an award? And I think that's up for debate.

3142
03:07:33.840 --> 03:07:35.520
But if you're gonna do it,
it is what it is. If

3143
03:07:35.520 --> 03:07:37.440
you're gonna do it, do it
well, right. So if you're gonna

3144
03:07:37.479 --> 03:07:39.840
you're gonna bring that stuff back,
just don't do a crappy job on it.

3145
03:07:39.959 --> 03:07:43.239
Yeah. Sure, it's like Last
of Us. That was Last of

3146
03:07:43.319 --> 03:07:46.399
Us was really good, Like yeah, GT, you could argue isn't even

3147
03:07:46.559 --> 03:07:48.760
remastered because it's probably a year old, but but that Last of Us was

3148
03:07:48.799 --> 03:07:52.799
not especially old. Like they're I
mean, they're both like CUSP games,

3149
03:07:52.840 --> 03:07:54.959
you know, they both got made
at the tail end of that hardware,

3150
03:07:56.120 --> 03:07:58.719
like they're you know, like kind
of yes of the best. At some

3151
03:07:58.719 --> 03:08:03.440
point you just call it fanciest port, at least with like, you know,

3152
03:08:03.479 --> 03:08:05.520
some of the sony stuff like Flower, like if you'd already bought that

3153
03:08:05.559 --> 03:08:09.479
game, Like here, here's a
fancy that's pretty cool. Yeah, yeah,

3154
03:08:11.120 --> 03:08:13.079
yeah. I think coming up with
the categories for award shows and having

3155
03:08:13.120 --> 03:08:18.639
them be relevant is difficult, and
you know that's yeah. The same time,

3156
03:08:18.719 --> 03:08:22.600
it is a tad alarming. Remember
I have no input on the categories

3157
03:08:22.680 --> 03:08:26.559
for the number of types of games
out there, though. Uh. Andrew

3158
03:08:26.600 --> 03:08:31.159
from Athens, Georgia has a pretty
cool email. When I was a kid,

3159
03:08:31.399 --> 03:08:37.559
my dad worked as an accountant for
Cadbury Schwepps Incorporated what was then the

3160
03:08:37.680 --> 03:08:41.719
Canada Dry Slash sun Kiss division.
It's quite a division. At the time,

3161
03:08:41.840 --> 03:08:46.079
a big focus of the industry was
Mountain dews stranglehold on Males fifteen thirty

3162
03:08:46.159 --> 03:08:50.399
five. I remember my dad coming
back from a trade show and talking about

3163
03:08:50.479 --> 03:08:56.479
rumors that Coke was working on an
md K or mountain dew killer. The

3164
03:08:56.600 --> 03:09:01.000
key elements of the recipe were fairly
simple. Citrus and caffeine. Okay,

3165
03:09:01.760 --> 03:09:05.280
the citrus isn't just necessary to copy
calf to do. Caffeine is bitter,

3166
03:09:05.399 --> 03:09:09.360
and citrus helps mask when you've added
more. As I understand it, the

3167
03:09:09.440 --> 03:09:13.920
recipe Coke settled on was actually an
amped up version of Fresca, which relied

3168
03:09:13.959 --> 03:09:18.319
on grape fruit juice for its citrus. Now they use bitter orange juice to

3169
03:09:18.360 --> 03:09:20.440
cut costs, but it still has
twice as much caffeine as a coke.

3170
03:09:22.440 --> 03:09:26.959
And what and what is what drink
are we talking about? I'm not clear

3171
03:09:26.040 --> 03:09:31.840
who put out what did Coke put
out in the nineties? Similar to Mountain

3172
03:09:31.840 --> 03:09:33.799
dew? Are you are you?
Are we talking about surge? I don't

3173
03:09:33.799 --> 03:09:35.239
know, Okay, yeah, yeah, Surge is a Coke product. Because

3174
03:09:35.799 --> 03:09:43.239
ship this maybe another issue where the
subject line might have clarified this. He

3175
03:09:43.319 --> 03:09:45.440
does not mention surge in this in
the body of this thing, but I

3176
03:09:45.479 --> 03:09:48.680
think that's what he's talking about,
drinking surge right now. I don't like

3177
03:09:48.959 --> 03:09:52.879
I'm having this. I'm having this
another kind of surge. I kind of

3178
03:09:52.920 --> 03:09:54.479
realized it when we were most of
the way through that can last week.

3179
03:09:56.040 --> 03:10:00.440
I don't like search, I don't
hate Surge is really ineffensive for the most

3180
03:10:00.479 --> 03:10:01.600
party, Like what if you just
drink one can? Of it. It's

3181
03:10:01.639 --> 03:10:05.959
not the worst. It's I think
it's because I only drink diet sodas now

3182
03:10:07.079 --> 03:10:11.479
and that's the that's the sweetness profile
I'm looking for, Like surges too sugary,

3183
03:10:11.520 --> 03:10:13.159
too sweet, Like I just don't
like it. Benny hasn't heard of

3184
03:10:13.159 --> 03:10:16.920
it surge before. Never it was
nice the late nineties and like now it's

3185
03:10:18.000 --> 03:10:20.319
kind of this novelty thing that they
put it back on Amazon, so everyone's

3186
03:10:20.799 --> 03:10:26.280
like a late nineties and maybe late
nines. Like the only caffeinated like thing

3187
03:10:26.440 --> 03:10:28.959
was Jolt. I feel like when
in the nineties that was more. That

3188
03:10:30.120 --> 03:10:33.319
was actually like late eighties, early
nineties was more that was in junior high

3189
03:10:33.399 --> 03:10:37.639
when when Jolt Jolt hit the scene. Yeah, I like that. I

3190
03:10:37.719 --> 03:10:39.680
was on I was in junior high
when Jolt hit the scene, and it

3191
03:10:39.760 --> 03:10:46.520
destroyed my ability to process caffeine in
a way that like nothing like right it

3192
03:10:46.959 --> 03:10:48.600
could like sodas don't amp me up
at all. To the Jolt was like

3193
03:10:48.639 --> 03:10:52.520
a big deal, Like kids were
getting high on jilt, Like you know,

3194
03:10:52.680 --> 03:10:54.159
gotta get these kids off that Jolt
and now it's just you know,

3195
03:10:54.319 --> 03:10:58.319
they were definitely like scared, like
you know, you're kids you're getting ahold

3196
03:10:58.360 --> 03:11:01.639
of it. Doesn't isn't isn't jill
whole thing like, it's one milligram over

3197
03:11:01.760 --> 03:11:05.040
the limit. There was not like
it. I don't think another big was

3198
03:11:05.040 --> 03:11:07.520
a limit. Really, they probably
lied and said there wasn't. I thought

3199
03:11:07.559 --> 03:11:11.239
there was one. Caffeine and sugar. It just always kind of double the

3200
03:11:11.280 --> 03:11:13.719
caffeine a regular cola. It was. It was kind of their thing.

3201
03:11:13.879 --> 03:11:16.719
And yeah, I mean because it
wasn't. The flavor was not mass like

3202
03:11:16.799 --> 03:11:20.000
you taste it. It was like, yeah, sure enough, we'll get

3203
03:11:20.000 --> 03:11:22.040
to the search can. It's orange
juice concentrate is one of the top ingredients.

3204
03:11:22.120 --> 03:11:24.959
I like frasca, Like a really
heavily caffeine as a fresco would be

3205
03:11:26.000 --> 03:11:31.799
pretty good. I like the m
DK. Yeah. Do you remember DNL

3206
03:11:31.000 --> 03:11:35.000
upside down seven up? Yep?
That was really stupid. Yeah, that

3207
03:11:35.079 --> 03:11:37.280
wasn't really stupid. That was really
stupid. Some people wrote in about Okay

3208
03:11:37.360 --> 03:11:41.319
Cola. I'm not sure where that's
from. Yeah, I'm not sure what

3209
03:11:41.440 --> 03:11:45.520
territory that is. I don't think
it's here the sub brand of Okay Cupid.

3210
03:11:46.520 --> 03:11:50.719
I just liked the idea of a
mountain dew killer. Sure is that

3211
03:11:50.799 --> 03:11:54.360
what they're talking about in Demolition Man. Yeah, okay, yep, absolutely

3212
03:11:54.440 --> 03:12:00.639
not a shiny game m DK yep, yea. It is indeed a buyower

3213
03:12:00.760 --> 03:12:05.760
game. One of them was Zach
from Kansas City. I just listened to

3214
03:12:05.799 --> 03:12:09.280
your latest podcast and you had an
email talking about Double Fine and them canceling

3215
03:12:09.319 --> 03:12:13.520
a game. I've heard that two
out of three games and never see the

3216
03:12:13.600 --> 03:12:16.280
light of day. Where does that
game go? Sure, some assets might

3217
03:12:16.280 --> 03:12:20.760
get reused or tools repurposed, but
is that the usual course of action?

3218
03:12:20.120 --> 03:12:24.319
Do publishers ever demand the assets and
tech? Do they have contracts forcing them

3219
03:12:24.399 --> 03:12:28.920
to wipe the drives? Just curious
and wondered if you guys knew anything or

3220
03:12:28.920 --> 03:12:31.520
if any developers out there can spill
the beans. This is first specific games.

3221
03:12:31.760 --> 03:12:35.000
Well, it started because Double Finne
had those layoffs, because they had

3222
03:12:35.040 --> 03:12:39.479
a publisher cancel a project. I
think it probably depends on whatever contracts,

3223
03:12:39.559 --> 03:12:41.879
like, you know, whatever,
you know, whatever deal they did.

3224
03:12:41.040 --> 03:12:43.360
Sure, I feel like all of
those things are none of those things.

3225
03:12:43.440 --> 03:12:46.959
Yeah, It's like there's a couple
of high profile cases of like I mean,

3226
03:12:46.000 --> 03:12:48.600
you know Copernic because is probably the
biggest one where Rhode Island was trying

3227
03:12:48.600 --> 03:12:54.040
to auction off the assets or the
work he'd have been done. What was

3228
03:12:54.120 --> 03:12:58.360
the the what game? Did Disney
cancel? Pirates and Care of Pirates?

3229
03:12:58.520 --> 03:13:03.440
Yes, that's game that Who was
making that? It was the Turrok people.

3230
03:13:03.639 --> 03:13:09.600
Yes, uh like that Spiracy Entertainment
Like you played that, right,

3231
03:13:09.840 --> 03:13:13.520
wasn't played? Pirates seems cool?
Yeah, I don't know how much of

3232
03:13:13.559 --> 03:13:16.559
a slice it was, but like
they Yeah, they showed that off at

3233
03:13:16.559 --> 03:13:18.360
a pre E three event and Pirates
seemed good like that one. That's another

3234
03:13:18.399 --> 03:13:20.440
one. It was like open world
sailing, like you know, you look

3235
03:13:20.479 --> 03:13:24.200
at Assassin's Creed. I bet that
a lot of people that worked on Pirates

3236
03:13:24.520 --> 03:13:28.159
when fucking Black Flight came out,
they were fucking pissed, like god damn

3237
03:13:28.200 --> 03:13:31.760
it. Yeah. Some of that
Pirates stuff I think ended up in Infinity.

3238
03:13:31.879 --> 03:13:35.799
Okay, I remember correctly. Some
of the character stuff from that Brothers

3239
03:13:35.840 --> 03:13:39.600
in Arms game that they never made
that Furious four games, so that stuff

3240
03:13:39.680 --> 03:13:43.360
ended up in battle Born. Well, oh right, that's that's a different

3241
03:13:43.360 --> 03:13:46.559
that's gearbox canceling. It's its own
project, its own project. Well,

3242
03:13:46.559 --> 03:13:50.920
I guess you'd be seft would have
been Does youse have owned the Brothers and

3243
03:13:52.079 --> 03:13:56.600
Arms franchise. I don't know because
it was shown it at press conference,

3244
03:13:56.719 --> 03:14:00.200
right, I don't think so,
I don't know who knows, but yeah,

3245
03:14:00.200 --> 03:14:01.559
I always'm always curious about Yeah,
I think that's such a case by

3246
03:14:01.600 --> 03:14:05.959
case basis thing like hard drives or
tape backups out there. Yeah, so

3247
03:14:05.000 --> 03:14:07.959
if you're curious about, like what
happens when games are over, when they're

3248
03:14:09.079 --> 03:14:13.319
done and shipped for a while,
my job was to go to the central

3249
03:14:13.399 --> 03:14:18.479
directory where everybody checked in their code, copy the directory listing so you would

3250
03:14:18.479 --> 03:14:24.319
see where every file was and then
print that out as a physical copy of

3251
03:14:24.399 --> 03:14:30.120
the directory tree and files and stuff. Then put that in the binder along

3252
03:14:30.239 --> 03:14:37.760
with DVD uh backups of all that
data in just a giant binder. DVD

3253
03:14:37.319 --> 03:14:43.479
DVDs. Wow, how many DVDs
were talking at the time, how many

3254
03:14:43.559 --> 03:14:48.319
created DVDs. I I can't remember
the size of the of the games,

3255
03:14:48.360 --> 03:14:50.920
but it was like, yeah,
bindery DVDs. It wasn't like, you

3256
03:14:52.000 --> 03:14:56.719
know, entire volumes, because I
always assume, I would assume the work

3257
03:14:56.799 --> 03:14:58.959
in progress build and all the assets
must be way bigger than the final Yeah,

3258
03:15:00.319 --> 03:15:03.600
final product. That's not that's not
like super long term though, because

3259
03:15:03.719 --> 03:15:07.520
dvdrs are not permanent by any means. Yeah, I mean you copy it

3260
03:15:07.600 --> 03:15:11.639
to other stuff I have. We
have some DVDs burns in the early nineties,

3261
03:15:11.840 --> 03:15:13.399
the nineties, there are still you
know, ver work. It varies

3262
03:15:13.479 --> 03:15:16.680
by the type of disc and stuff
like that. What is the half life

3263
03:15:16.680 --> 03:15:20.120
of a DVD the I will have
some CDs act I guess, not DVDs.

3264
03:15:20.200 --> 03:15:22.479
But you know, I have some
review copies of Sagasin games that still

3265
03:15:22.479 --> 03:15:26.479
work. Fine. Laser Rot man, Yeah, laser Rot's gonna get them

3266
03:15:26.479 --> 03:15:31.239
all. Laser Rot will get us
all. Eventually. Hesitate to even bring

3267
03:15:31.319 --> 03:15:35.399
it up. But I know a
developer who I would love to talk to

3268
03:15:35.440 --> 03:15:39.879
you about this on the record,
who hid Yeah you know what I'm talking

3269
03:15:39.879 --> 03:15:45.079
about. Which talked to that person? Should he had a significant amount of

3270
03:15:45.120 --> 03:15:48.799
work that had been done in the
ceiling of in the ceiling an old office

3271
03:15:50.559 --> 03:15:52.760
which is still there and occupied by
other tenants. No kidding, like that

3272
03:15:52.879 --> 03:16:00.239
work may still there be we should
move on, that would be. Yeah.

3273
03:16:00.239 --> 03:16:03.360
So like I think tape is something
that you can want to keep around

3274
03:16:03.399 --> 03:16:09.280
in perpetuity, but we should follow
up on that story sometimes, uh man,

3275
03:16:09.399 --> 03:16:11.200
I am just all over the place
with these emails. But this week

3276
03:16:11.280 --> 03:16:16.440
here's one that I didn't manage to
get the cender on. I could read

3277
03:16:16.479 --> 03:16:20.479
it anyway, though, go for
it. I don't know. Okay,

3278
03:16:20.920 --> 03:16:24.520
they're from Toronto. Can tell you
that there's a chain here in Toronto with

3279
03:16:24.600 --> 03:16:26.920
a secret menu, and then they
pasted a link to restaurant called the Burger

3280
03:16:28.000 --> 03:16:31.440
Priest or the Burgers Priest. Although
I don't know, I don't know how

3281
03:16:31.479 --> 03:16:35.840
secret the menu is. When the
address is slash secret menu, it's just

3282
03:16:35.920 --> 03:16:39.120
like, yeah, that's like that's
like them from the capitalize on the concept

3283
03:16:39.159 --> 03:16:43.120
of a secret menu. However,
the item, one of the items that

3284
03:16:43.159 --> 03:16:46.360
he that he describes sounds kind of
crazy. One of the items on the

3285
03:16:46.399 --> 03:16:50.000
secret menu is the Tower of Battle. All the Tower of Battle is two

3286
03:16:50.079 --> 03:16:54.239
beef patties with cheese, a portobello
mushroom injected with cheese, and then deep

3287
03:16:54.319 --> 03:17:00.840
fried lettuce and tomato, two grilled
cheese sandwiches as buns. It sounds awesome.

3288
03:17:00.959 --> 03:17:07.280
Why is it called the Tower of
Battle because they're the Burger Priests all,

3289
03:17:07.399 --> 03:17:11.760
you know, maybe all their religious
themes, all names, and a

3290
03:17:11.840 --> 03:17:13.799
cheeseburger in which the patties were replaced
with grilled cheeker. You know, maybe

3291
03:17:13.840 --> 03:17:18.159
the burger is man's attempt at building
too tall a burger. Okay, God

3292
03:17:18.280 --> 03:17:22.760
is going to smile for trying.
You eat it and can no longer speak.

3293
03:17:22.079 --> 03:17:24.520
I reached the point in my life
where I don't I can't do like

3294
03:17:24.559 --> 03:17:30.280
competitive eating or would you call it
or would you call it frank eating?

3295
03:17:30.360 --> 03:17:35.159
You're eating your comfy competition days,
or I refuse to believe that. I

3296
03:17:35.600 --> 03:17:39.079
know, like I kind of keep
seeing it's still I know, I know,

3297
03:17:39.360 --> 03:17:41.760
like I could enjoy it. Are
you still doing the annual KFC bucket?

3298
03:17:43.000 --> 03:17:46.120
Like it's not that appealing to me? Are you at least training max

3299
03:17:46.239 --> 03:17:50.719
to following your footsteps? You gotta
find your own way. Yeah. Some

3300
03:17:50.840 --> 03:17:54.559
people do ballet, some people do
stunt eating. They're not a stunt eating

3301
03:17:54.639 --> 03:17:56.879
like stage dad, I'm not gonna
for you. I'm not gonna force that

3302
03:17:56.959 --> 03:18:00.440
on him, but like it's bummed
me up. Was at a restaurant recently

3303
03:18:00.479 --> 03:18:03.559
and they had their like stunt food
and usually it's the first thing to go

3304
03:18:03.719 --> 03:18:05.639
like oh, thirty dollars where they're
like, you know, sixteen pound burger,

3305
03:18:05.719 --> 03:18:07.479
Yeah, bring it on, I'll
do it. And I was like

3306
03:18:07.559 --> 03:18:09.719
we don't think a Turkey club.
You know, I just don't want to

3307
03:18:09.719 --> 03:18:13.760
do this to myself anymore. Was
it? We went to the there was

3308
03:18:13.799 --> 03:18:18.639
a Raman place. Who went to
Dan and I in La and it was

3309
03:18:18.680 --> 03:18:24.120
a you that got the spicy the
super that was Timur Summer slam yea their

3310
03:18:24.159 --> 03:18:28.159
spiciest bowl of ramen, which was
gigantic and basically just bright red. Uh.

3311
03:18:28.440 --> 03:18:31.360
And he got I'm gonna say,
like a quarter of the way through

3312
03:18:31.399 --> 03:18:33.959
it before he had to throw in
the towel. His entire face was just

3313
03:18:35.040 --> 03:18:39.719
completely everywhere. Did you win anything? If he If he didn't, I

3314
03:18:39.719 --> 03:18:45.680
don't remember on the wall and my
picture on the wall in a restaurant,

3315
03:18:46.200 --> 03:18:48.799
the most prestigious surprises, the things
they were like a bunch of the twelve

3316
03:18:48.879 --> 03:18:52.639
year old girls like had done it
and they were up on the ball.

3317
03:18:52.719 --> 03:18:54.559
It's like tim it had to be
bad though, because I've seen him do

3318
03:18:54.639 --> 03:18:58.719
a bunch of like crazy competitive eating
things from like putting like fifteen of those

3319
03:19:00.159 --> 03:19:01.079
heads in your mouth at one time. And you know, I got a

3320
03:19:01.079 --> 03:19:03.000
skin off your time. I got
the ruck to do it, I got

3321
03:19:03.040 --> 03:19:07.040
the rum And there was one step
above the normal level of spicy, and

3322
03:19:07.079 --> 03:19:09.760
there were like three more levels but
to get to where he was and that

3323
03:19:09.920 --> 03:19:13.959
was even almost too much. Yeah, yeah that was real bad. Yeah,

3324
03:19:13.000 --> 03:19:16.840
I'm with you, like I kind
of it's kind of sad, like

3325
03:19:16.040 --> 03:19:20.079
yeah, like I go to like
a like buffet or something now and it's

3326
03:19:20.079 --> 03:19:24.040
just like the joy is gone.
Yeah, your body no longer wants it.

3327
03:19:24.360 --> 03:19:28.280
Yeah, like it's just like I'm
not gonna eat until I throw up

3328
03:19:28.280 --> 03:19:30.879
anymore. I don't know, I
don't know. I don't know if that

3329
03:19:30.959 --> 03:19:31.680
happened. I know, I don't
know what happened. Like it used to

3330
03:19:31.719 --> 03:19:35.360
be a man, I never throw
up. I never threw up from it

3331
03:19:37.000 --> 03:19:39.319
for other reasons. Yeah, I
just feel real sick. Yeah, it

3332
03:19:39.440 --> 03:19:41.959
was definitely like, oh I did
it to myself again. But yeah,

3333
03:19:43.000 --> 03:19:46.840
it's I just does New York have
CC's pizza? Uh, we have,

3334
03:19:46.200 --> 03:19:48.159
we have real pizza. But I
know what CC is really good? I

3335
03:19:48.200 --> 03:19:52.639
mean, do you have it as
an option? I don't Old Country Buffet?

3336
03:19:52.959 --> 03:19:54.760
Yes, yes, I think that. Okay you do. Okay,

3337
03:19:54.000 --> 03:19:58.079
maybe it might be like an upstate
but I feel like that's not a thing

3338
03:19:58.159 --> 03:20:01.639
that's in New York City. No, not in the City's a big place

3339
03:20:01.280 --> 03:20:11.239
it's like the palms another yeah,
buffs while island. Yeah, I don't

3340
03:20:11.280 --> 03:20:16.000
know. It was kind of kind
of like a sad moment like where it's

3341
03:20:16.000 --> 03:20:18.000
just like I just want to eat
food. I think it's got to the

3342
03:20:18.040 --> 03:20:20.639
point where, like I knew I
had to function with kids now, Like

3343
03:20:20.680 --> 03:20:24.920
I couldn't just go home and lay
down and be like, oh yeah,

3344
03:20:24.079 --> 03:20:26.319
that was awesome. Now it's like
I have to be ready to get up

3345
03:20:26.319 --> 03:20:31.479
and do other stuffy Dad had his
burrito tonight. I mean, I don't

3346
03:20:31.639 --> 03:20:35.879
you know, like like eating just
a normal sized portions okay, well slightly

3347
03:20:35.920 --> 03:20:39.120
above size, a normal portion like
a fast food thing does not lay me

3348
03:20:39.159 --> 03:20:41.200
out. No, no, no, I'm talking about like you're talking about

3349
03:20:41.200 --> 03:20:43.360
like going I'm going to like the
Chinese food buffet, and oh yeah,

3350
03:20:43.360 --> 03:20:45.200
I've been able to do that now, Like you know, like you used

3351
03:20:45.200 --> 03:20:46.719
to go to like a mo ongoing
and barbecue and you know, like you

3352
03:20:46.799 --> 03:20:50.399
get like five fucking bowls and it
all be beef or all be you know,

3353
03:20:50.520 --> 03:20:52.959
meat, like no, no,
nothing else in it other than the

3354
03:20:54.040 --> 03:20:58.639
hot oil and meat, and you're
sweating and you're just I got to get

3355
03:20:58.680 --> 03:21:01.840
through this so I can get another
one just can't get kindn't And there was

3356
03:21:01.879 --> 03:21:05.559
all you can eat pizza place.
Yeah that was that once once once a

3357
03:21:05.600 --> 03:21:07.799
week, we'd like inflicted all you
can eat pizza on ourselves and you were

3358
03:21:07.799 --> 03:21:11.319
getting like pizza with like bacon on
it and shit like that. What am

3359
03:21:11.360 --> 03:21:15.239
I supposed to get? Alfredo pizzas
and stuff like, I'm just taking something

3360
03:21:15.280 --> 03:21:18.000
slightly less greasy. Perhaps you're slightly
less greasy. I mean that I used

3361
03:21:18.000 --> 03:21:22.040
to be like I could still eat
really quickly like that that skill that's not

3362
03:21:22.600 --> 03:21:26.479
a feed, but of the quantity, Yeah, the quantity is gone.

3363
03:21:26.479 --> 03:21:30.319
No, I can still put down
a burrito. And for me, like

3364
03:21:30.879 --> 03:21:33.520
like that sort of transition came with
this realization of just like maybe I don't

3365
03:21:33.520 --> 03:21:37.639
actually care that much about food.
Oh like you're just not enjoying it.

3366
03:21:37.959 --> 03:21:41.559
So yeah, like it's just maybe
I just don't I love food and it's

3367
03:21:41.600 --> 03:21:43.239
not I'm not I'm not like in
a point where it's like, oh,

3368
03:21:43.280 --> 03:21:46.120
you know, I want to have
better food. It's like just like you

3369
03:21:46.200 --> 03:21:50.479
know, like I kind of came
to that same place where it was also

3370
03:21:50.600 --> 03:21:52.559
like going out drinking or getting a
drink, like I don't want to get

3371
03:21:52.600 --> 03:21:54.920
sick anymore. Like I want to
drink, I want to enjoy it,

3372
03:21:56.280 --> 03:21:58.920
but like I'm past the point where
I can wake up and just be like

3373
03:21:58.239 --> 03:22:01.159
what did I do? I don't
really drink very often anymore. No,

3374
03:22:01.239 --> 03:22:03.799
no, no, And it's for
me. It was just like I mean,

3375
03:22:05.000 --> 03:22:05.520
so, you know, I had
a friend who was a bartender,

3376
03:22:05.600 --> 03:22:07.600
and you know, like we wouldn't
hang out when she was working, and

3377
03:22:07.719 --> 03:22:11.159
you know, some other people we
would all kind of hang out around a

3378
03:22:11.200 --> 03:22:11.959
bar, and like, you know, it's just it was what it was.

3379
03:22:13.040 --> 03:22:15.959
And we spent a lot of time
drinking and got a lot of free

3380
03:22:16.000 --> 03:22:18.159
drinks along the way, and that
was a lot of fun. But even

3381
03:22:18.200 --> 03:22:20.639
that wasn't necessarily like my heaviest drinking
phase. But I just got to a

3382
03:22:20.639 --> 03:22:22.639
point where, yeah, I don't
know what it was. If it was

3383
03:22:22.680 --> 03:22:26.479
a feeling of like I'm not rebounding
from it like properly enough. I think

3384
03:22:26.520 --> 03:22:30.879
it was more just like circumstances changed. Everyone kind of grew up, and

3385
03:22:31.079 --> 03:22:33.479
no one wanted to hang out in
a bar anymore. I got a mortgage

3386
03:22:33.559 --> 03:22:35.479
now, No, I had the
mortgage first, Like I did everything in

3387
03:22:35.479 --> 03:22:39.239
the wrong order. Look at me, I'm a grown up now. The

3388
03:22:39.319 --> 03:22:43.600
mortgage came when I was at my
drunkest. Probably that's how that's how you

3389
03:22:43.719 --> 03:22:46.840
ended up with the house. Yeah, it's like whoops. But I feel

3390
03:22:46.879 --> 03:22:50.680
like I'm feeling like it's like one
of those things that they, like you

3391
03:22:50.760 --> 03:22:54.680
read about like heroin users, right
where they can build up a tolerance and

3392
03:22:54.719 --> 03:22:56.079
then the danger is, you know, going on, coming back on,

3393
03:22:56.319 --> 03:23:00.520
and I feel like my stomach's gonna
explode if I, like you guys want

3394
03:23:00.520 --> 03:23:03.159
to go like a Chinese food buffet, like yeah, let's fucking get down,

3395
03:23:03.239 --> 03:23:11.120
like right, and then he's going, there's yeah, explode Like I

3396
03:23:11.280 --> 03:23:15.799
can feel it sometimes even like I'm
a d like a little grilled chees sandwich

3397
03:23:15.840 --> 03:23:18.280
with some fries, beaning like I'm
stuffed? What happened? If you want

3398
03:23:18.319 --> 03:23:22.600
dessert? No, you've gone soft? Really you think that you actually are

3399
03:23:22.680 --> 03:23:24.239
maybe not eating as fast as you
think you are. I think you used

3400
03:23:24.239 --> 03:23:28.079
to because like that was always the
way to cram in the most food was

3401
03:23:28.159 --> 03:23:31.360
to eat as quickly as possible.
I see four I've seen that dude to

3402
03:23:31.399 --> 03:23:35.079
eat like I just can't. I
can't even explain. You can stilly pretty

3403
03:23:35.159 --> 03:23:39.319
quickly. And I think that the
scary part is now I see Max just

3404
03:23:39.600 --> 03:23:43.120
like I have to literally teach him
about choking. Imagine trying to tell somebody

3405
03:23:43.200 --> 03:23:48.040
about like Max. He puts like
a whole salami in this matter, right,

3406
03:23:48.399 --> 03:23:50.319
and it's just like you have to
chew Max, is you're gonna choke.

3407
03:23:50.399 --> 03:23:54.280
He doesn't know what choking is until
he's like, I can't breathe remember

3408
03:23:54.319 --> 03:23:56.600
that time you couldn't Breathe eat so
much? Max eat? His daddy says,

3409
03:23:56.760 --> 03:24:03.000
not as ye, he's as soon
as man. Yeah, suppressive stuff.

3410
03:24:03.239 --> 03:24:07.399
I never forget seeing you go at
a burrito or you know, just

3411
03:24:07.520 --> 03:24:11.959
any handheld item. I get the
ship in before. It's never steal it.

3412
03:24:11.479 --> 03:24:13.680
It never touches the plate. I
just never leaves your hand on the

3413
03:24:15.319 --> 03:24:16.840
like you know, if you can't
put it, fall out of it.

3414
03:24:16.079 --> 03:24:18.879
Yeah, like I cambur it down. Yeah exactly what you put it down,

3415
03:24:18.920 --> 03:24:22.559
it falls apart. Yeah, you
put a hamburg exactly, It's it's

3416
03:24:22.559 --> 03:24:24.639
never gonna be the same. Well, see, so you want to solve

3417
03:24:24.680 --> 03:24:28.680
that problem, don't put as much
bullshit on your hamburger. There's nothing to

3418
03:24:28.719 --> 03:24:31.479
fall apart. It's just meeting fun
exactly. You can say, I can

3419
03:24:31.520 --> 03:24:35.399
set a hamburg after the day and
and get right back to it. It's

3420
03:24:35.440 --> 03:24:39.719
not a problem. But I still, yes, I find I had a

3421
03:24:39.840 --> 03:24:43.639
burger and fries the other day,
and I find I don't know how this

3422
03:24:43.719 --> 03:24:46.920
happened or why this happened, but
I find myself eating all of the fries

3423
03:24:46.000 --> 03:24:48.680
before touching the hamburger. And I
don't know why I did that when I

3424
03:24:48.760 --> 03:24:50.680
was a kid all the time,
I don't know what change like. And

3425
03:24:50.799 --> 03:24:54.079
also I don't use ketchup on fries
anymore. Yeah, I stopped doing that.

3426
03:24:54.120 --> 03:24:58.239
You don't know why? Just man, no, God, I think

3427
03:24:58.280 --> 03:25:00.959
I think at some point, like
I just want and salt. Just give

3428
03:25:01.040 --> 03:25:07.680
this. I just want salt here. We shouldn't invent at this table.

3429
03:25:07.399 --> 03:25:13.079
We should invent hamburger edible hamburger staples
so that like you can staple, they

3430
03:25:13.159 --> 03:25:16.719
go to the bun to the patty
to keep that ship on so it doesn't

3431
03:25:16.719 --> 03:25:18.639
slide off. It's like what they
do with the toothpick. Yeah, but

3432
03:25:18.719 --> 03:25:22.639
who wants Yes, it's like a
twizzler or something, a sharp twizzler like

3433
03:25:22.120 --> 03:25:28.600
a sugar Yes, twizzlers terrible.
How about a piece of like beef jerkee

3434
03:25:28.719 --> 03:25:35.440
or something that. Yeah, I
am together. It's just something like a

3435
03:25:35.479 --> 03:25:41.319
stable door and it's like, but
it's edible. Yeah, yeah, I'm

3436
03:25:41.360 --> 03:25:48.559
in. Yeah, slap it on
Kickstar sand from Ohio. Last email,

3437
03:25:48.600 --> 03:25:56.200
you have to make an impossible choice. I can't do I it's it's impossible,

3438
03:25:56.280 --> 03:25:58.760
can't You must choose? All right? You will be cursed with either

3439
03:26:00.000 --> 03:26:05.159
having to fart very often, as
in oh no, like as in as

3440
03:26:05.559 --> 03:26:09.840
could ever imagine such a faith Wait, we got to hear the other.

3441
03:26:09.040 --> 03:26:13.879
Let me finish the let me finish
the email. You will be cursed with

3442
03:26:13.959 --> 03:26:16.719
either having to fart very often,
as in several times per hour in a

3443
03:26:16.799 --> 03:26:26.680
manner imagine God, just kill me
now, several times per hour in a

3444
03:26:26.719 --> 03:26:31.000
manner that is easy to hear but
not our but not outrageously so, and

3445
03:26:31.079 --> 03:26:37.799
the smell of the fart is odorless. It's just like, hey, let's

3446
03:26:37.799 --> 03:26:41.959
have a part. Maybe maybe he's
like, maybe these are impossible good choices,

3447
03:26:41.040 --> 03:26:46.040
Yeah, this is actually all right
choice or a million dollars, or

3448
03:26:46.239 --> 03:26:50.760
once per day you will have an
extremely deadly but mostly quiet fart, but

3449
03:26:50.879 --> 03:26:54.520
everyone in the room will be able
to smell strongly. Can you schedule when

3450
03:26:54.600 --> 03:26:58.040
this happens? In both circumstances,
you have little control over when the farts

3451
03:26:58.079 --> 03:27:01.760
happened, but you can be have
a small amount of control when you can

3452
03:27:01.840 --> 03:27:03.959
feel it coming on. Also,
what's your favorite final boss in a video

3453
03:27:05.040 --> 03:27:09.280
game? The multiple loud under less
farts? Yeah, yeah, wait,

3454
03:27:09.360 --> 03:27:13.959
so they're just they're just loud,
but you can't hear them. I'm sorry

3455
03:27:13.040 --> 03:27:20.879
that so they're loud but you can't
smell. That's yes, well, you

3456
03:27:20.959 --> 03:27:24.280
know the emails that they're audible.
Loud is different. It says not outrageously

3457
03:27:24.440 --> 03:27:28.920
here that needs to hear. In
that situation, you would have to like

3458
03:27:28.079 --> 03:27:31.040
warn people, like if I'm on
a date, I would have to start

3459
03:27:31.120 --> 03:27:33.440
the first date by saying, listen, I'm gonna be farting this whole night,

3460
03:27:33.600 --> 03:27:35.959
but don't worry, it's not gonna
smell. And that's not the best

3461
03:27:35.959 --> 03:27:39.079
way to start a day. That'll
totally put every one of the ease.

3462
03:27:39.719 --> 03:27:43.840
Yeah. Great, But but then
would you have to like like preface that

3463
03:27:43.879 --> 03:27:46.360
you're going to just let one rip
like a real loud ripper at time,

3464
03:27:46.440 --> 03:27:48.680
You're just gonna get up and leave
the room like a gentleman. If you're

3465
03:27:50.559 --> 03:27:54.559
problem, I don't know this is
this what like the knife in baseball bat

3466
03:27:54.680 --> 03:27:58.120
like conversation is degenerated into it this
pay like we're just kind of getting down

3467
03:27:58.159 --> 03:28:00.680
to that level. I don't know, we haven't had one of these in

3468
03:28:00.719 --> 03:28:03.440
a while. Parts speak for themselves
and we don't need to do any further

3469
03:28:03.600 --> 03:28:07.200
talking. Also, Psychomantus is not
a final boss. It's not a final

3470
03:28:07.559 --> 03:28:15.239
final boss. Oh shit. And
what Bison? Motherfucker's show is better than

3471
03:28:15.399 --> 03:28:18.399
Bison and has got a cool hat. He does have a cooler with his

3472
03:28:18.479 --> 03:28:20.440
mask, and the mask is done
and Bison is a much better fight than

3473
03:28:20.479 --> 03:28:24.479
the show. Con that's true fights? Does it? Does it count the

3474
03:28:24.920 --> 03:28:28.959
final level of Doom two? Sure? Yeah? Yeah, like that's yeah,

3475
03:28:30.000 --> 03:28:33.879
the icon of sin a Hitler.
Yeah, that's gotta be way up

3476
03:28:33.200 --> 03:28:39.840
that good one. I really not
a final boss, Virgil end he was

3477
03:28:39.840 --> 03:28:43.680
a really good fight. Mm hmm. I like the end of Acarina of

3478
03:28:43.719 --> 03:28:46.920
Time quite a bit. Oh yeah, wait, wait back and forth or

3479
03:28:46.000 --> 03:28:50.760
fighting fake out of Like this was
kind of underwhelming. And then oh ship,

3480
03:28:52.079 --> 03:28:54.040
although Windwaker Gannon was really good.
Yeah that was good. Uh.

3481
03:28:56.319 --> 03:29:01.440
I didn't hear anybody make their impossible
choice. Oh, I think I'd probably

3482
03:29:01.440 --> 03:29:05.520
go with the one big loud rapper. Yeah, me too, smelly one

3483
03:29:05.600 --> 03:29:07.799
silent but very deadly smelling. Oh
yeah, just blame it on somebody else.

3484
03:29:07.920 --> 03:29:11.799
Yeah, that's not even a choice. I thought it had to be

3485
03:29:11.840 --> 03:29:13.879
really loud. You just carry a
dog around all the day. Yeah,

3486
03:29:13.879 --> 03:29:16.520
that's say. It's the dog.
That's the that's the old caravel logic that

3487
03:29:16.559 --> 03:29:20.040
I've been missing, because who's gonna
be like, I guess if you're always

3488
03:29:20.079 --> 03:29:22.559
surrounded by the same people to be
like, ah, you know, that's

3489
03:29:22.719 --> 03:29:26.239
there. It is twelve o'clock.
And then he added again, because I

3490
03:29:26.319 --> 03:29:28.760
feel like that fucking happens anyway like
that, that's just life. Yeah,

3491
03:29:30.000 --> 03:29:31.319
once a day, and I think
it was once a day. Yeah,
