00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:39.920
Hello, Hello, everybody, welcome. We are back after a couple of

2
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:44.679
weeks hiatus. Feel like I feel
like it's been even longer for me for

3
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:49.000
like a month back here live in
the studio near the end of the year

4
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:55.000
to give you another episode of Game
Spot After Dark episode to twenty. Oh

5
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.880
wow, we was on nineteen.
Was when we was on the couch like

6
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.159

we're going to talk about. Uh.

9
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.319
And then the week before that,
no one was around, so it would

10
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.640
have been a podcast of one.
And let me tell you, nobody would

11
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:17.319
want I can talk. I mean
you could do it. It would have

12
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:19.959
been me. No, no one
wants that. Yeah I want that.

13
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.519
Listen. Uh, we'll talk about
game Wars. But there were several people

14
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:25.640
went up to me and was like, yo, I really fun after Dark.

15
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:27.439
I got a couple two yeah,
yeah. I was like hell yeah,

16
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.959
yeah, Like there's very specific people
totally, and there was like,

17
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:36.519
no, I you know what I'm
saying, I got some real one.

18
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:38.560
So if you hoier at any of
us, Yeah, in l A,

19
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.200
a game Awards, and he said, Gameslot after Dark is the number one

20
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:44.120
video game podcast in the world.
Your real one, thank you, thank

21
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:47.280
you. Uh that lovely voice you're
hearing is, of course Michael p The

22
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:52.760
stands for Pino him. Yeah,
ship, and of course we have Jake.

23
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.000
No one came up to me,
but I tried to keep a grumpy

24
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:02.560
demeanor the entire time exactly, although
I people if people were saying, uh,

25
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:06.400
they like games would after Dark and
I knew that was coming, then

26
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:08.080
I'd probably not be grumpy. But
you know, so it did come up

27
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:12.159
to you about uh the fire Escape
though, So someone did come up about

28
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:14.759
fire Escape. Ye, so you
got that. Yeah, they broke through

29
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:19.120
my grumpy No, I don't think
I was that grumpy. I'm just shy

30
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.280
people. A couple of people told
told me. I don't know why they

31
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.039
told me, but they were like, yeah, that's eypunk documentary by Jake.

32
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:27.800
I did a lot of people did
did say nice things about that,

33
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.840
which which made me feel very,
very happy and sketch of props for that.

34
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:37.400
That was took a part of me. I think, yeah, that's

35
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:39.680
right, you give Jake as props. I talk about that too, because

36
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:44.400
we did we haven't really teased wanted
to talk about that, and then again

37
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:46.719
we didn't get a chance to.
Oh right, well we'll do that a

38
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:52.759
little bit. But yeah yeah,
so uh yeah, I mean, well,

39
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.599
okay, first off, three is
dead again. That's just dead as

40
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:59.719
fun. This is like twenty again. I remember doing an episode of the

41
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.039
pod cast titled E three is Dead. I didn't had a thumbnail of me

42
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:07.039
and E three. Earlier this year
we did another like E three is dead

43
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.280
again. This is like the third
or fourth time we have uligized E three

44
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:13.240
on this podcast. So, uh, you want to bring it back to

45
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:20.719
life? Yeah, I don't really
got much else to say about that,

46
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.560
to be honest. I mean,
I saw a lot of people sharing pictures

47
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:27.680
and it made me miss E three, and I really like you three all

48
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.439
that. I mean, I enjoyed
E three, uh minus you know,

49
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:35.840
all the docs saying and the uh
long lines and all that kind of stuff.

50
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.520
I will say, Summer Game Fest
this year felt like a better version

51
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:44.039
of E three, So I think
I'd be a lot more depressed, uh

52
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:49.039
had there had Summer Game Fest not
been a thing and three got canceled and

53
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:53.800
it was just these sort of digital
showings better for our end. I don't

54
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:57.120
know if like publicly it was like
I think, if you're looking for that

55
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.240
specific like hype, yeah you're not
quite get that. So I understand that

56
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.080
angle because I mean, like sure, but like I feel like, like,

57
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.840
yeah, there was a lot like
some years E three was closed.

58
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:10.000
I feel like the last couple of
years of E three it was open and

59
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.759
people were able to visit. But
even then, like what did you see?

60
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:17.680
Because yeah, there was like sorry
to anyone who went, I hope

61
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.199
you had a good time, but
dude, that ship made it made it

62
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:24.879
worse for sure. As far as
doing our jobs specifically, Yeah, yeah,

63
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.560
energy wise is great. Sure,
Like it's great having all those people

64
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.959
there, but I did even the
people who were there for fun, did

65
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.720
you really get to play a lot? Probably not because the lines are so

66
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.040
long, but hey, that's probably
not what you're there for. You know,

67
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:39.720
you're there to see people hang out
network. You know, here's the

68
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:44.959
thing about public E three. Motherfuckers
came by our stage. You know a

69
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:46.759
lot of people we do live stage
show every year when we were at E

70
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.199
three, So then when we had
a budget, we had yeah, when

71
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:55.279
we had a budget and we had
a large enough staff. But that was

72
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.600
that was dope. When people come
through, like I think there's some fool

73
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.399
came by, Like I had like
a sign books like yo, the only

74
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.399
real one who talks about Miku on
on in any games, Like dam you

75
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.519
know what I'm saying. I do
miss that. Yeah, I miss doing

76
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.720
live stuff like that. Oh yeah, oh yeah. And I talk about

77
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.879
this all time, Like having Jean
Luke in the in my ear piece.

78
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:15.560
I just like everything's gonna be okay
as long as I got Jean Luke in

79
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:17.079
my ear When we're doing a live
show, I'm like, I'm good.

80
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.160
It's like a soft, warm hug. Meanwhile, you're not hearing me,

81
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:21.120
like yelling at people in the back, like yeah, what'd you doing?

82
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.240
Yeah? M three, get your
shit together. Damn. Jean Louck is

83
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.240
a motherfunk boss. When when we're
running the run of the live show,

84
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:31.720
so it was like you went into
a different mode. I feel like all

85
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.839
of us went into a different work
mode when we was out there, turn

86
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:39.519
up karaoke at night, hit the
show floor. It's a done deal.

87
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:43.639
Uh people are at eight am.
God. Yeah. The war room was

88
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.800
cold as shit too, God damn. And no more ham duets. I

89
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:48.120
mean, we haven't had a ham
duet in four years, I guess,

90
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.240
but I miss a ham duet.
I at your boy, you know what

91
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:55.959
I'm saying. If you make those, you can cater my wedding. No

92
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.680
imagine, I went to my wedding
and handwe it's anyway three yeah on the

93
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.959
E three Yeah yeah, I mean
that as fuck. Uh you know,

94
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:08.000
I think once it becomes normalized,
when you do it as a job,

95
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.839
maybe some of the magic wears off. But you know, uh definitely like

96
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.600
going into like when I first started, like that's like the thing, right,

97
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:15.839
You're like, dude, I want
to go to E three. It's

98
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:20.680
the big one Gamer Christmas, like
you just you know, so like uh

99
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:25.839
yeah, I I never stopped.
I had I had fun, Like I

100
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:28.839
mean, fun is a whole word, but like, man, every single

101
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:32.279
year I had a blast, Like
I yeah, that was my favorite time

102
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:34.639
of the year. That felt like
Gamer Christmas all the way till the end,

103
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:38.759
you know, And I hope and
Summer game Fest kind of seems like

104
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:41.959
it's heading that way. I feel
like I liked Summer game Fest didn't have

105
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.519
like yeah, like you're saying,
like the big hype the announcements that we'd

106
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.839
see it e three, But I
felt like it had way more of a

107
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:50.800
community, which sounds kind of cheesy
to say, but it's true. I

108
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:55.399
mean everywhere we'd like, you'd walk
out of my appointment, you'd see a

109
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:57.680
bunch of people, you know,
rather than a bunch of like randos and

110
00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:03.319
suits. So that shows outdoors and
that was nice. The food selection I

111
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.360
thought was better they saw it.
They just brought in trucks instead of well

112
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:09.319
yeah, I mean if I guess
you liked him duet, maybe not,

113
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:15.480
but to make a hand a truck, yeah, just for nostalogist say yeah,

114
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:17.680
yeah, so as shef is cool
because like, yeah, it's like

115
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:21.839
a campus. Viole I described this
before as like a college campus where yes,

116
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:25.639
you're going from one appointment to another's
like going to one class or the

117
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.759
other, and on the way you're
dapping people up, taking photos and ship

118
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:31.160
catching up real quick before you add
to the next one. But I mean,

119
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:33.360
who knows what direction is going to
take, because it's only going to

120
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:38.040
get bigger, and whether or not
that gets open to the public. I

121
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:42.079
don't know what mister Keeley's plans are. Yeah, he's he's I'm curious if

122
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:44.720
he'll change his mind, but I
know he's kind of spoken about he like

123
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:47.879
isn't trying to like turn it into
E three necessarily, or he's not trying

124
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:51.279
to replicate like exactly what three was. So what that means and the scale

125
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:55.759
of it, who knows. Yeah, well, I mean, I mean,

126
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:58.720
you're not going to get the same
size as old E three because no

127
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.240
big hitters like sent Sony and Nintendo, they're never going to sign on to

128
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.079
like a third party to show their
ship anymore because they don't have to.

129
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.120
That's that was part of the big
reason why E three died, is because

130
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.399
all these big vendors are like,
no, we're gonna do our own ship,

131
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:16.839
and so along with the pandemic and
you know, the unnecessariness of bringing

132
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.079
it back just like that shit was
just getting pummeled. So I mean,

133
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.800
like, and like you said,
we talked about this like three times before

134
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:28.959
E three is dead again for the
third time. I think A hard Drive

135
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.759
had a good one that was like
Sony and uh, Nintendo, we're going

136
00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:37.919
to skip. It's kind of funny
how it was announced, but they just

137
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.399
like tweeted a photo out of the
Yeah, like E three is done like

138
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:46.080
okay, okay, I guess yeah, to a surprise to absolutely nobody.

139
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:50.559
Speaking of E three, we got
E three Winter edition last week the words

140
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:54.080
sure, yeah, I guess yeah. So we were all there in l

141
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.080
A. Uh we were. We
were on the Giant bomb at night.

142
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:03.080
If you all knew for that.
It was a lot of fun. And

143
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:07.480
then we we had our own uh
pre im post show, which was brought

144
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.759
to you by the fine folks at
SEGA. Shout out to them for for

145
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.639
doing that for us. Uh,
I can say it. I can't say

146
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.799
that. Yeah, I don't know
nothing. He's yeah, yeah, this

147
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.600
is all me here. That was
cool. Uh Curtain Bailey did that and

148
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.679
that was they killed it with that. So uh shouts out to them.

149
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.039
And then yeah, and then we
watched three fucking hours of the game.

150
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.240
Wards, I'll watch that ship live
in person. Yeah, you were there

151
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:37.120
in person? What was that?
I'm glad I was fucking faded. Uh

152
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.960
Well, because the thing is,
you show up, you show up to

153
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.360
the awards, and I mean you
were there, Jay, No, you're

154
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.240
used with us. I'm tripping anyway. You go to the you go to

155
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.679
the war show, and then the
vendors. The concessions close at five,

156
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:52.320
so the pre show says, up
four thirty. They closed the vendors at

157
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.399
five because they want everyone to funnel
into the Yeah, they want people walking

158
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:00.799
out, yeah yeah. And because
it's an awards so it has to be.

159
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:03.039
It's not like going to like a
concert or some ship. But I

160
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.360
was like, oh fuck, I
gotta you can't bring your drinks in.

161
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:09.799
So I was like, I was
chilling with Jeff Backlark. I was just

162
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.080
chilling with Jeff. Jeff's like I'm
too cool for this award show. I

163
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.039
don't know, no, no no, And I was just like pounding my

164
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.639
double vodka soda. I was like, eh. I was chilling with alyssamer

165
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.480
Kanti from Kataku and she was like, oh fuck, I need to get

166
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:24.120
in, but she had a tall
can of bud Light. She's like,

167
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:26.279
all right, here, you take
this ship, and I'm like, all

168
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:28.480
right, cool, free half a
bud light from Alyssa so shouts out to

169
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:33.240
you the swag Lord herself. It
was fun though, Like I mean,

170
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:37.879
honestly, now that I've actually experienced
it in person, I think we should

171
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:43.879
just someone out there should just turn
this into like a met gala style thing

172
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.519
where we don't go to the award
show, but we have like a watch

173
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:48.279
party and a red carpet and photos
like us. All we do. We

174
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.360
swag out and take fos. Everyone
pretends, but then no one actually goes.

175
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.039
Yeah, yeah, because like that
sounds about as miserable as actually going

176
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:01.120
to show. For me, at
least, I'm good. I mean,

177
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.440
there's like, I don't know,
I don't want to like sit in a

178
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:07.679
seat for three hours and like shuffler
of crowds. I just don't want to

179
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.519
walk on a carpet and dress seeing. That's that's what That's what. That's

180
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.559
the ship I live for, you
know what I'm saying. But yeah it

181
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:18.600
was. I don't know the Award
show was. I don't know. I

182
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.799
have a lot of feelings about the
Award show itself. Now I saw it

183
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:26.000
in person. I'm like, I
mean, I feel like I feel like

184
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.519
everyone. Yeah, I feel like
everyone has already said their piece and there's

185
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.200
nothing left to be said if you
pay attention to what other people a saying.

186
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:37.240
There's many articles out there. I
know Nathan Grayson from Aftermath Now put

187
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:39.480
together probably a good summation of it. Yeah, a lot of people have

188
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:43.840
covered that, and I think,
like, I think it's indicative that both

189
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.840
Tam and Rebecca Valentine both put together
like these are the award species that you

190
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:50.559
didn't get to hear articles. I
think that says a lot about what the

191
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.600
award show actually had. Uh it's
a three hour commercial and the like you

192
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.840
hear the music playing, and I
like, I get secondhand embarrassment from watching

193
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:03.679
live. I'm like, I feel
so terrible that they're they're trying to shout

194
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:05.600
out their dead homies for working on
a game, and then you hear the

195
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.200
walk Off music being playing, like
that, shit's fucked up. I feel

196
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:15.039
like, because like walk off music
is the thing they do that for a

197
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:20.600
bunch of Awards shows, but I
feel like you give some leeway to it,

198
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:22.799
and I feel like that was just
very much like all right, your

199
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.399
time is up, get the fuck
off the stage. One thing I will

200
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:31.039
say, though, as uh as
as boring as I thought that show was

201
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:39.080
the Remedy and Alan Wake two stuff
was fucking the entire thing that gave me

202
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:41.320
the energy I needed to sit through
the rest of that. And I've watched

203
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.120
that like six or seven times and
more. More of that kind of ship

204
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:48.279
Like that's the shit I like because
it's like it's goofy, but it's like

205
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:52.320
that's a celebration of celebration Alan waye
con celebration of those devs. Like that

206
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:54.440
feels like because it's like, you
know, you think, like, oh

207
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:56.200
what you just want it to be
like this boring like handout awards, and

208
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:00.000
no, there's still cool shit you
can do. There's other ways you can

209
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.960
do it that's still respecting those depths. And that is a perfect exactly that

210
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.960
is Yeah, that is the old
Gods of Asgar performance. Seeing that live,

211
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.799
ye see, then I would have
sat through the entire thing for that,

212
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:13.600
then it would have been worth it. But yeah, like dipped after

213
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.480
that. Yeah that's how I felt
when that and then I was like,

214
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:18.559
all right, let's pack it up. I'm done. I don't need to

215
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:24.799
see another a whole another hour and
a half. It's funny because Sam Lake

216
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.039
was chilling with us for the night
show because he's on the couch too,

217
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:30.399
and I just like chopped it up
when I was like, yo, allo

218
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:33.399
way two, incredible game. Uh
just want to give you your props,

219
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:35.320
and then jokingly said to him,
it's like, oh yeah, you're gonna

220
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:39.279
be dancing on stage, huh,
And he was just like, for those

221
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:45.279
audio listeners, I'm doing the Sam
Lake max pain face. I didn't realize

222
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.200
that he was actually gonna do that, and so yeah, that was just

223
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:52.600
that that is you can do ship
like that because that celebrates games. And

224
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:54.720
like seeing Sam Lake on stage do
that ship, I was like, yeah,

225
00:13:54.759 --> 00:14:01.360
more of that. Less a too
many celebrities this year. The celebrity

226
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.320
stuff felt way off. I don't
remember that being as big of a thing

227
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.960
past game wards. It reminded me
more like the Spike Video Game Awards,

228
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:11.120
like we've reverted all the way back
to that ship come full circles, come

229
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:15.759
full circle, and I'm just like, okay, Like Matthew mcconughey, sure

230
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:18.919
he's in a game, even though
the trailer didn't have his voice in it,

231
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:20.759
I was like, what is this? But then like Timothy Shalomey,

232
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:26.480
who's like a fine dude wherever,
but like him giving the gaming YouTuber,

233
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.600
I thought that was kind of funny. Okay, I thought it was I

234
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:35.080
get I get it, you know, but like him given like Game of

235
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.840
the Year, I'm just like,
yeah, that doesn't feel right. This

236
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:39.279
isn't right. If you could have
done something else like that would have been

237
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:43.480
cool, but like, yeah,
so so way too much celebrity stuff that

238
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.399
just didn't feel necessary. Like I
was just like, why are we doing

239
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:50.159
this? I don't get this,
so but yeah, I mean you're right.

240
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:54.200
Otherwise, I think all the the
hot takes have been Yeah, these

241
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.559
are We're giving some pretty cold takes
here at this point. Yeah, but

242
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.799
I mean, yeah, it was
there were there any like cool announcements or

243
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:07.519
things that you guys saw that you
were like, Oh, that's pretty hype.

244
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:13.360
You know, I'm curious about the
Hello Games is next game? Sure

245
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.879
right, no fire. I thought
that was pretty bold of them to like

246
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.960
have the opening of that trailer like
mimic trailer for Man's Sky. I was

247
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.480
like, oh, okay, y'all. You know, I mean pretty much

248
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:26.320
all their trailers for updates mimic that
too. I don't know if you've been

249
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:30.080
following their update trailers as well the
Old Guy, but they like follow that

250
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.240
formula to a team and it works, but I'm doing with this one in

251
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:35.519
particular, it felt like, let's
see what you're doing. It is bizarre

252
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.480
though, to like I'm really curious
to see how deep that game goes,

253
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.480
because it's gonna have to go really
deep. I would say if the last

254
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.200
game had an entire universe and this
one has an entire world, And for

255
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:50.759
me, it's like, Okay,
I'm curious see what they do beyond just

256
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:52.200
what they've already done with No Man's
Sky. But they've already done so much

257
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:56.720
with No Man's Sky anyway, then
I'm like, yeah, I mean,

258
00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:58.679
I'm sure there's a lot. I
just I just I'm having a hard time

259
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:03.559
pitch it, or at least I'm
I'm not like as latched onto it as

260
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:06.240
I was when No Man Sky was
announced in terms of the idea of it.

261
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:07.360
I know what you mean. I
think the thing for me is like,

262
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:11.720
how do they when if you're building
a game from the ground up with

263
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:15.600
a more like concrete vision or or
just like with all of that in mind,

264
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.720
because like No Man's Sky, like
they built upon that, and that's

265
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.480
different from like naturally like building a
game from the ground up to be like

266
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:23.200
we're going to do this, this, this, and this. So I'm

267
00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:27.320
just I'm curious to see like how
that feels. Yeah, I think I

268
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:32.320
waited a long ass time. Probably, Yeah, I think the multiplayer interactions

269
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:36.000
will probably be the most interesting thing
because it seems, yeah, it seems

270
00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:38.080
like, you know, no man
sky technically you can run into other people,

271
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:41.279
but you're not going to run into
anyone else in No Man's sky,

272
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:45.799
let's be honest, unless you match
make with someone, right. So yeah,

273
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.840
that was kind of cool, honestly, my monster Hunter Muscle Hunter,

274
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:52.240
oh child, that's pretty cool.
Yeah, that was dope. That was

275
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:56.559
the mar Quy anounce. Yeah.
Yeah, I wish we saw more or

276
00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:00.279
I wish they waited a little longer
before they announced it. But it's plenty

277
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.120
five joint. Yeah, a lot
of games for twenty five. Yeah.

278
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:06.119
Yeah, it's funny. It's like, oh, we're game Wards twenty twenty

279
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:08.599
three and we're showing twenty twenty five
games and that's taken on most of the

280
00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:11.559
time. It's like, all right, I guess I get it, like

281
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:14.880
O D two, like the Kojima
game, which it seems like it's gonna

282
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:17.799
be a good idea, We have
no idea what like really they talked on

283
00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:21.920
stage for like ten minutes. Yeah, chopped that in half and given all

284
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:25.519
like the award winners like an actually
thirty second Yeah, you know a lot

285
00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:29.200
of that time, Like it's cool
to see Jordan Peel on there with Kojima,

286
00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:32.400
but I mean, like it's again, it's a bit of a little

287
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:34.839
circle jerky in a way. Ye
oh yeah, oh yeah, And I'm

288
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:37.559
like, yeah, we don't need
to take up an award show time for

289
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.480
this, but yeah, the Tales
of ken zeras Ou. I was just

290
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.000
looking it up because I forgot the
name of it. But when the dev

291
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.079
was on stage talking about how it's
like a passion project, Oh yeah,

292
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:48.839
yeah, that was cool. Yeah, it's gonna be like a two D

293
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:56.599
combat side scrolling metro Metroidvania, which
drawing from a lot of African influences up

294
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:02.079
ship like that where you can it's
an opportunity to give a platform to developers

295
00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:06.079
who wouldn't have one otherwise, because
like you think about like Triple A Studios,

296
00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:07.039
like, don't get me wrong,
Manz Hunter is gonna be lit.

297
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.319
We could put that out in any
day. Yeah fine. Yeah. So

298
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:15.799
it's like game boarders have an opportunity
to, like, if you are going

299
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.519
to spend time for announcements and new
things, Uh, that's definitely one of

300
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:22.200
the one of the ways in which
you can do it. That's uh,

301
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:25.920
that makes sense for what I think, uh the orchhos should be. I

302
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:27.839
don't run the numbers, I don't
coordinate the tgs. The fuck do I

303
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:33.759
know? But what I will say
is that I can believe they they did

304
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:37.400
this. Like at the very end
of the pre show was the metaphor Refantasio

305
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:42.599
trailer Dog. Yeah, that was
that trailer in the Persona three Echailer were

306
00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:45.720
my favorite trailers, and they were
in the pre shown. They must have

307
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:49.000
some heavy hitters going into this,
and then they really did. You watch

308
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:52.880
the dev video where they like I
started, I don't. I don't want

309
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:56.160
to. It's one of those things
where I'm just like I can't bring myself

310
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:59.359
to do. I saw like a
small clip of it. It's like showing

311
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:03.640
like the like animation from like attack
into Battle and it looks, oh,

312
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:07.200
so sick. I got a while. Okay, I'm gonna watch because that

313
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:08.599
game is a Fall twenty four.
You just need to watch that like one

314
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:12.240
thirty second clip and be like,
oh yeah, It's. It's same thing

315
00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:15.920
with like P three Reload, where
I'm like, I'm too attached to that

316
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:19.519
to it already that I don't want
to like, also that one's coming out

317
00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:26.400
real soon. Yeah, like oh
uh re Fantasio no reloaded real Realize two

318
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:30.319
months. Yeah, that's that's kinda
assume. But Refantasy is gonna be uh

319
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.839
yeah fall twenty twenty four. That
was announced, so uh yeah, I

320
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:38.720
am I'll make exceptions for Atlas Joints. Yeah yeah, yeah that was cool.

321
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:42.759
Uh, Pony Island to look cool
because I just like the inscription and

322
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:47.839
oh yeah yeah, and prosy D's
in it, and I'm like, cool,

323
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:49.960
advance, great, he looks like
he's having fun. Prozy D's dope.

324
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:55.880
I love prosy D. Oh.
Sega the Sega bomb As, I

325
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:57.200
mean, oh oh yeah, that
was pretty cool. They just dropped like

326
00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:00.640
five dude. For we were like, is is it one game? Like

327
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:03.640
when we were like trying to figure
it out while we were watching it,

328
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:07.480
We're like, what this is like
a thirty second spot well because uh but

329
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:10.839
like Sega has been teasing what they
call like a super game. They're like,

330
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:12.519
we're working on the first ever Sega
super game and we're like, what

331
00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:15.839
does that mean? It's five of
their old games and one, so I

332
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:19.079
think there's the Sega the super game
is something different. But for a second,

333
00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:22.519
We're like, is that what this
is? This is like a like

334
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.519
a Sega METAVERSEUIL was so long too
of like people in real life playing games.

335
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:30.680
Yeah, like what's what's happening?
And then we hear like sonic sound

336
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:33.440
effects. Yeah, and there's like
a Crazy Taxi license playing. You're like,

337
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:34.759
what the what the fuck is this? But it's like, oh,

338
00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:40.160
that's cool though, Like yeah,
you know, there's like five games announced.

339
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:42.359
I was like, even if if
like even in most of these games

340
00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:45.279
like don't hit, but like two
of them like hit real hard, like

341
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:51.359
that'd be great and and uh specifically
Jet said and Crazy Taxi. I was

342
00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:52.480
like, yes, oh yeah that
is those are probably the ones. I'm

343
00:20:52.960 --> 00:21:00.599
I think just seeing like Sega put
yeah, Acknowledge and like fund and back,

344
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:06.960
these weirder games that Triple A devs
probably are publishers probably wouldn't be super

345
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:11.279
interesting, Okay, is pretty exciting. Cool. Yeah, Like I I'm

346
00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:14.920
not interested in all those, but
there's a few I am, and I

347
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:17.160
and I hope enough pop off or
they're like, oh yeah, we got

348
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:22.359
to keep making these offbeat Triple A
sort of classic games. Yeah, So

349
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:30.759
I was dope, waspe that was
probably it Blade. I I I've cooled

350
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:32.240
on it a little bit, but
I was, I was. I was

351
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:37.279
kind of heated about it at first
about Blade, about Blade because I I

352
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.000
am very protective of our cane,
okay, and I have I have a

353
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:47.079
lot of feelings about like, uh, the way uh Marvel games have just

354
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:48.839
kind of like come in and sort
of like swooping up all these big devs,

355
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:52.279
and it's like, I'm just like, not get the fuck out of

356
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:55.079
our space. Like I'm just like, like, you know, that's I

357
00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:57.519
mean, that's just me maybe being
like, ah, like I if it

358
00:21:57.559 --> 00:22:00.920
wasn't Blade, like if it was
one of the big Marvel heroes that we

359
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:03.759
see, like if they made like
a Captain Marvel game. But because Blade

360
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:07.759
has been like largely ignored, so
that's more interesting than why I came back

361
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:10.519
around it. Where like the more
I thought of I was like, Okay,

362
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:14.039
you know, like Blade, Blade
has got a different flavor. Blade,

363
00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:15.279
Blade can stand on its own.
Blade can stand on its own.

364
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:19.799
I think Arcane, like especially Arcade
Leon with like you know, Death Loop

365
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:23.400
and Death of the Outside, like
they know how to write black characters really

366
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:26.079
well. Uh. It takes place
in Paris, which is you know where,

367
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:29.319
like you know, they're French studios, so I know that they can

368
00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:30.720
bring like that specific culture and flavor
there. So it's like, you know

369
00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:33.920
what, this game will actually probably
be pretty dope. Yea, I am

370
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:37.440
excited. I just hope it's an
immersive sim or something like something like that.

371
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:41.359
I hope it's not like an action
game. You know, it is

372
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:45.799
third person, which is kind of
weird, but I mean, like just

373
00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:48.680
be okay with that. If it's
still an immersive sim. It could still

374
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:52.240
Yeah, it could still be an
immersive sim. And like at least from

375
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.519
what Dinga ba Cobb has said about
designing of the game, I mean he

376
00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:00.960
seems hype because like it is gonna
be hype. He's doing fucking Marvel games,

377
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:04.799
so that check is probably looking real
nice for at Microsoft, I guess.

378
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:08.440
But like I think there's a level, like a level of enthusiasm and

379
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:14.319
uh, you know the I don't
think. I don't know. Maybe I'm

380
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:17.759
getting ahead of myself, but Marvel
wouldn't choose or they wouldn't choose a developer

381
00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:21.039
like Arcane if they didn't want the
Arcane flavor. I guess, you hope.

382
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:23.319
So yeah, I mean yeah,
I mean, that's presumptuous considering when

383
00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:27.039
Marvel went to Crystal Dynamics and said
make make an Avengers game. We saw

384
00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:32.400
what happened there. But there's also
w's like Insomniac, where a Spider Man

385
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:36.000
game fits right into their mold.
So if that's guard line with that,

386
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:37.759
I didn't. I didn't funk with
the as hard as other people. But

387
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.680
I know a lot of people the
Guardians of the Galaxy that that is my

388
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:44.519
game was good. Yeah, that
game was dope. I liked it,

389
00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:48.480
and but I mean, I don't
think that the the greatest strengths of Idos

390
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:52.079
Montreal necessarily shown through in that game
exactly. That's kind of my and that

391
00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:56.000
that was sort of like my feelings
is like when I played that game,

392
00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:56.440
I was like, yeah, this
is good, but I was like,

393
00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:00.640
but this is like not wite what
I want from them. Yeah, I

394
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:03.519
think that's kind of where my feelings
are, just where I'm like, oh,

395
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:08.400
like I don't I don't want Arcanea
turn into just like uh like,

396
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:11.839
oh, we're just making the license
thing now. But like but you know,

397
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:14.200
that's me getting ahead of myself,
Like I'm that's me getting worked up

398
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:15.759
about things that have not come to
pass. Yeah, and so like,

399
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:19.480
I get that, but I mean
you're you're working the brain muscles connecting the

400
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:23.359
dots exactly because we've seen a lot
of Marvel games at this point. So

401
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:26.119
you know what I think it is. I think it's me being really mad

402
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:30.640
that Machine Games has just been working
on Indiana Jones for like five years.

403
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.640
Where the fuck is Wolf and Stein
three? I just want that. I'll

404
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:38.839
give a ship about Indiana Jones ship. I do though, Jones, Oh

405
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:44.359
I do, I do. I
do love Indan Jones. I think the

406
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:48.279
perfect devs to handle an Indiana Jones
game. That said, Yes, I

407
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:53.440
want like, I think about two
all the time. That game is so

408
00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:57.799
damn good. I mean one as
well, but New Colossus is different though,

409
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:03.640
Young shouts out young Blood. Yeah, I like that game. I

410
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:07.000
actually do want to like giving it
a shot and play it. Yeah,

411
00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:10.279
young Blood Defender. I played,
we played Cup, Yeah, play cop

412
00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:11.279
I like I like that ship a
lot. Really, I don't know,

413
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:15.720
it's sorry, I liked it,
but no. Yeah, it's a lot

414
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:19.440
of license games going around now and
just like so much weight put behind them.

415
00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:22.440
You think about like licensed games from
the PS two era, dog.

416
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:29.240
Oh I didn't get anything out they
put anything. Yeah, they really did.

417
00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:33.400
Man talk about some of the best
beatier games. Man, its shipped

418
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:37.359
that ship out. But yeah,
it's a we'll see it's gonna blade is

419
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:41.200
gonna be as out of twenty five
joint. Also it's or if that could

420
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:45.160
be longer. Yeah, it's always
out. But yeah, yeah, I

421
00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:48.359
think that was kind of it.
I don't really remember anything else. I

422
00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:52.680
think that really stood out for me. But yeah, uh and then oh

423
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:56.279
man, we were kicking it in
l A. It was kicking in l

424
00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:59.079
A for sure. That was cool. It was turning up. She was

425
00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:02.359
nice. Saw a lot of people, Yeah, a lot of people.

426
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:03.839
That was my first time going to
like the Game Awards, even though I

427
00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:07.480
wasn't there at the show. Just
like being there period and it's cool to

428
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:10.240
I like going to those kinds of
events where you just get a chance to

429
00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:14.440
see people you don't normally get to
see. Yeah. Yeah, I think

430
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:18.799
the the j W is a has
become It's been the spot, but I

431
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:23.119
feel like we need to find it
was certainly the spot when I walked in

432
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:27.519
and me get into the bar and
I laughed at and ordering trinks there,

433
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:30.640
me and Kurt were like halfway to
the j W and then like we're just

434
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:33.960
like do we really want to?
Like it's gonna be a monster. And

435
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:36.440
then like someone messaged us and was
like, Yo, we're at the fig

436
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:40.279
which is like right across the street, and we were like that spot I

437
00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:45.880
should have went the Figures. Cool
And there's are some people there. Yeah,

438
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:49.039
Yeah, it's cool to like see
a lot of people without what's the

439
00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:52.799
word, like not their guard down, but just just chilling. Some people

440
00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:56.440
just chilling. So yeah, you
get to talk to them as a normal

441
00:26:56.519 --> 00:27:00.279
human being, you know, and
not look at their tweet Yeah, you're

442
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:03.880
not looking at their tweets. They
don't they're not worrying about marketing. They're

443
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:07.119
tweeting live from the brain to you
in person. That's what we're doing,

444
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:11.160
you know exactly. What isn't like
tweeting just talking to people that's crazy,

445
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:17.119
you know. Yeah that shows sick. But there's like so much, so

446
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:19.799
much more around it. Because we
did the Giant Bomb live show again,

447
00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:25.039
we did we had the couch and
the live show that Jake and John Luke

448
00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:27.640
helped produce. You know what I'm
saying, Yeah, doing the watch that

449
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:30.559
and you saw the projector on the
back. That was me. Yeah,

450
00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:34.440
projector, I should went smooth.
If you were looking out through the right

451
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:41.039
camera, you know, it's putting
that ship in focus. I had an

452
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:44.279
auto focus. I just had to
point out, Oh yeah, well you

453
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:47.960
got a good shot of Mike Manotti's
feet in the cake. Yeah, yeah,

454
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:52.599
you were the king I was.
I was on cake duty. Realized

455
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:57.160
may make no sense to you watch
the vod it's up now. Yeah,

456
00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:02.240
but it's good. That's fun.
I love doing live shows like that.

457
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:04.400
Yeah, I'm I'm a big fan. I think they should do a tour.

458
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:10.279
Oh yeah, obviously, yo,
like six big cities. I don't

459
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:14.240
know if throughout the United States.
That's kind of Los Angeles, Yeah,

460
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:18.000
New York. I got two there
you go show to show the Midwest and

461
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:22.400
love. Yeah you said Chicago,
I didn't, but yeah, Chicago,

462
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:26.359
Chicago could do. Go down to
Mississippi. There's a lot of times.

463
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:29.759
I don't know. I don't think
there's a lot of Gapon fans out there.

464
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:33.400
I don't know. Yeah, it
was. It was beautiful to see

465
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.039
it come together. There's a lot
of people there too that I didn't think

466
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:40.640
there would be. But I just
like Yeah, the decency seeing it in

467
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:42.200
Like, you know, it's one
thing for someone to say there's going to

468
00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:45.359
be three hundred people, but then
actually being there and seeing a field venue,

469
00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:48.680
you're like, wow, yeah,
all right, it's cool. Its

470
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:52.000
cool. First time I think I've
been backstage at like a concert venue.

471
00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:53.119
Same. I was like, oh, this is cool. I'm special,

472
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:57.240
I'm vi. I p here's where's
the drugs? I have a headache,

473
00:28:57.319 --> 00:29:00.480
give me that advill. No,
it was it was on though, Like

474
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:03.640
I walk in there, Blessed sleeping
on the couch. He was like a

475
00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:07.079
hungover and I gotta be on do
kind of like I'm gonna take a nap.

476
00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:11.000
Yeah, and Nicky and Barley being
there. I love the fact that

477
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:12.920
I get to see Nicky Grayson at
all of these things because they are one

478
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:18.240
of my favorite people in the world. Yeah, the fact like we we

479
00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:21.119
worked at fan Bite together and now
we we up. Well we're not really

480
00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:26.519
up, but at least we're not
down. But Yeah, to see Nicky

481
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:30.400
and Bailey hosting together on that,
I was like, it's a beautiful thing

482
00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:33.960
to see the see the see the
homie come up like that. So yeah,

483
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:37.519
just a lot of beautiful things and
like even if you weren't there for

484
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:41.960
tga La was popping during that time
and I had a beautiful, beautiful time

485
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:55.400
so many different people. Yeah,
it was good. Well, all right

486
00:29:55.519 --> 00:30:00.039
those game awards. Have you all
been playing anything, because I have not,

487
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.920
because I've just been Actually I've been
playing a little bit. Yeah,

488
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:11.480
I'm playing on Pokemon. So part
two of the Hidden Treasure of Area zero

489
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:15.839
dropped. It is the final DLC
for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. This is

490
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:22.119
the Competitive Focus DLC, So it
is all double battles. Trainers are much

491
00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:29.319
tougher. Uh. It is about
challenge. This is i'd say probably the

492
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:33.799
hardest official Pokemon experience you can get. Uh, since, like I don't

493
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:37.160
know, maybe Pokemon one or like
the original Pokemon games like Red, Blue,

494
00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:41.759
Yellow, Gold, Silver, and
I would even argue that those challenges

495
00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:47.279
weren't necessarily based on the battles.
They were based on like how often you

496
00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:49.240
were able to heal, like the
sort of gauntlets you were put into,

497
00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:53.599
the dungeons you had to go through. While this, the challenge is just

498
00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:57.839
in the battles themselves. I finished
it, I've wrote credits, there's a

499
00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:02.880
lot of post game to do.
It seems but this is quite good.

500
00:31:02.920 --> 00:31:08.160
This is very good. He is. It is probably one of my favorite

501
00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:12.799
Pokemon things they've done in a very
long time. A lot of it boils

502
00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:18.359
down to the fact that there is
just a strong focus on that competitive side.

503
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:21.119
Obviously, it's not like if you
level up all your Pokemon level one

504
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:25.119
hundred, you're probably still gonna rip
through it. But I imagine you'll still

505
00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:27.759
hit some walls every now and then. But what I tried to do is

506
00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:33.559
I brought in a team that matched
the level as everything else and I had.

507
00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:38.559
There were some things that really threw
me off, like one one of

508
00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:41.920
the Elite four us as a trick
room team, which is something that I've

509
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:48.519
never seen NPCs really use, which
is pretty cool. On top of that,

510
00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:55.200
they've added a bunch of weird features
like you can control your Pokemon and

511
00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:59.279
you can turn into Charzard and fly
around. You can be a rallt and

512
00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:05.319
waddle around. But any po every
Pokemon in the game can be controllable as

513
00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:07.839
long as you can put it in
your party, which seems absurd because I

514
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:13.359
don't understand the purpose it serves other
than you get to be them. My

515
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:16.920
best guess is it's something they're testing
out for future generations or future Pokemon games.

516
00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:22.720
On top of that, you have
a club that you manage a game

517
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:27.880
kind of, except that you manage
trainers, like all the all the important

518
00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:30.799
trainers you've met throughout your journey,
like a school club. You can invite

519
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:34.720
to the club, you can battle
them, they'll give you rewards. Not

520
00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:38.160
that kind of club. So there's
a lot to it. I'm still going

521
00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:44.240
through it, but uh yeah,
I would say like if if you enjoyed

522
00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:47.480
Scarlet and Violet enough to finish the
main game and the first DLC, then

523
00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:51.440
definitely play this because you can't play
it if you haven't beaten the main game

524
00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:54.480
or the first DLC. I heard
the herd the final boss was fucking hard

525
00:32:55.240 --> 00:33:01.720
of the so I guess it depends. I don't know, because the one

526
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:06.880
I thought wasn't too tough. But
there's another secret boss that I haven't unlocked

527
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:10.039
yet that is called the Secret Boss
of the Endigo disc okay, And I

528
00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:14.240
think in order to do that,
I have to recruit every single Pokemon trainer,

529
00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:16.599
like important Pokemon trainer in my club, battle them, get their rewards.

530
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:20.839
At least that's what I can tell
On top of that, they've added

531
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:24.319
a bunch of like ambient quests that
you can complete that unlocked battle points that

532
00:33:24.359 --> 00:33:29.119
make it easier to buy important tms, which is huge because now you don't

533
00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:34.440
need to grind materials, which is
great. You can use that BP to

534
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:37.440
unlock new Pokemon that you can find
in the tarium, like that's how you

535
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:42.240
get all the starters. You can
use that VP to customize your clubhouse.

536
00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:45.359
You can change the theme. You
can use it to change how your character

537
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:50.519
throws their poke balls, different animations, some different animations. There's just that

538
00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:52.720
there's a lot to it. Like
I said, I'm still digging through it,

539
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:57.960
but right now, super super positive. I like it. I think

540
00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:02.279
story wise, I think I preferred
the Teal mask more. I think it

541
00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:06.799
brought the characters to the forefront.
This not so much because it is just

542
00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:13.800
like travel to our battle everyone catch
this legendary Like it's very like checklisty,

543
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:16.159
but not in a bad way.
I have a question. I have an

544
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:22.480
answer maybe Okay, so like going
into this or like before the DLC or

545
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:24.719
when the DLCs were first revealed,
I think at least one of the things

546
00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:27.800
I was thinking, like, oh, there's so many. There's so many

547
00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:30.199
more stories to tell about Area zero
like that. Obviously, Like you ask

548
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:35.440
most people who actually finished Scarlet Violet, they will probably say that Area zero

549
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:39.320
was one of the great moments in
Pokemon. Ever, at least that's how

550
00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:44.199
I feel. But and then going
into the DLC is kind of maybe a

551
00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:47.679
little bit of an expectation that we
would explore Area zero a little bit more

552
00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:52.679
in depth, at least like story
or lower wise is how many? Yeah,

553
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:55.320
I mean, it's funny you say
in depth because you go to areas

554
00:34:55.320 --> 00:35:00.079
relatively I mean kind of light spoilers
they talked about it, or the the

555
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:01.719
trailer's kind of alluded to it,
but you go deeper into areas, so

556
00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:09.119
you score more of Area zero.
I would say that moment. And the

557
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:13.199
DLC is not as good, not
nearly as good as it is in the

558
00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:17.239
main game. But I think that's
because in the main game, you built

559
00:35:17.320 --> 00:35:22.159
up this relationship with all these characters
who are now all grouped up together heading

560
00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:24.320
down there together, and there's a
lot of there's a lot of storytelling that

561
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:29.119
kind of happens at the end that
makes it more special, impactful that's not

562
00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:34.239
really here in this but I think
more wise, it does answers some questions.

563
00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:37.280
I don't think it answers all the
questions that people probably have, but

564
00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:42.960
there are some questions that are answered. And then there's the new type sort

565
00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:50.079
of that they hinted at in the
trailers, which is not as game changing

566
00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:52.480
as I thought it would be.
But I won't say exactly what it is

567
00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:53.920
because I don't think a lot of
people have made it that far time.

568
00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:58.559
But it's not like a type type. It's not like they added a new

569
00:35:58.679 --> 00:36:02.559
type of Pokemon. It's a new
tarot type. Oh okay, Yeah,

570
00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:07.400
it's interesting. Yeah. Like I
said, don't spoil it, but cool,

571
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:10.679
it's very good. What's up?
I think if if you're one of

572
00:36:10.760 --> 00:36:14.800
those people who have been complaining that
Pokemon is too easy for too long,

573
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:20.320
uh, this is I would give
it a go. Hell yeah, yeah,

574
00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:22.800
hop back on that Pokemon. You
know what I'm saying. Because I

575
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:24.840
didn't play it to old mask.
You do have to finish that. Yeah,

576
00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:27.480
well, I mean, like,
I don't know, I would love

577
00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:30.639
to it anyway. I don't want
to play it anyway, but shit,

578
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:34.000
I might boot up that Pokemon,
you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

579
00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:37.280
I mean though, I never got
past the first gym. Well, too

580
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:42.599
bad. We've told you the entire
yeah twist Pokemon, Hey, there you

581
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:47.760
go. I don't even no,
there's still like the experience. We've talked

582
00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:52.119
about this many times already, but
I still can't get over the whole air

583
00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:54.599
zero sequence from Scarlet Violet. That
shit, it's still still fucking cool man.

584
00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:59.320
Yeah, Yeah, game's good.
I mean, I guess I should

585
00:36:59.320 --> 00:37:02.119
probably talk about the technical side of
it too. Yeah, it's sure not

586
00:37:02.159 --> 00:37:07.119
great. Yeah, you know,
it's soccer. I to be fair,

587
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:09.199
I don't think I've run into any
slowdowns quite as bad as I had in

588
00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:13.079
Teal Mask. There were a couple
of instances in Teal Masks that were pretty

589
00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:15.679
bad. So far, it doesn't
seem that bad. But yeah, I

590
00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:20.079
mean there's a lot of pop in
the draw. Distance isn't great, Uh

591
00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:22.519
it does. The frame rate does
slow down every now and then, so

592
00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:27.760
you know, to be expected.
As much as I hate to say it,

593
00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:30.719
like not that that's a pass or
anything, but well that's what it

594
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:32.480
is, you know. With With
this one, I'm curious to see where

595
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:36.719
they go from here, because I
do feel like they kind of hit like

596
00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:39.920
a boiling point with this one where
like they were kind of like, I

597
00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:44.239
don't know, like people have been
complaining about like Pokemon for a while,

598
00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:49.320
and I felt like this one was
like the reaction was so negative towards like

599
00:37:49.400 --> 00:37:52.480
the present individuals, like, I'm
kind of kind of can't I mean,

600
00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:54.800
they could do it to get away
with but but I don't think they could.

601
00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:58.880
So I want to know. I
think they can. I think they

602
00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:05.800
will. They I don't think they
will. I'm curious. I think I

603
00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:09.199
think the I don't know. I
I think it'll be different, and I

604
00:38:09.239 --> 00:38:13.519
think it'll still be open world,
and I think a lot of those tools

605
00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:15.840
will probably be more refined, they'll
probably be better at It'll probably be smoother

606
00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:21.920
in general. But whether or not
that is because the audience was mad about

607
00:38:21.960 --> 00:38:23.559
Scarlet and Violet, I don't know. I think a lot of it is

608
00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:28.280
just them being like, Okay,
we're better with these tools now we've made

609
00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:30.360
more. Uh. I. I
don't think it's going to be a response

610
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:35.440
to the audience necessarily. However,
I will say a lot of the stuff

611
00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:40.000
we've seen in the DLC feels like
a response to the audience's complaints about Scarlet

612
00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:44.000
and Violet, not so much the
technical side, but in terms of the

613
00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:49.960
moves they add, the Pokemon that
they add, the just small quality of

614
00:38:49.960 --> 00:38:53.559
life things that like people have been
wanting that they haven't done until now.

615
00:38:53.639 --> 00:38:58.519
Yeah, so you know, I
think they're listening. But the way the

616
00:38:58.639 --> 00:39:02.920
Pokemon Company listens and game Freak listens, I feel like isn't as reactive or

617
00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:08.679
responsive as the community demands, which
is understandable because that community can be toxic

618
00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:13.599
as shit. So yeah, that's
a tough job, one of the most

619
00:39:14.639 --> 00:39:19.599
Congratulations Pokemon fans. You are in
the top one percent of toxic fambas.

620
00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:24.000
Yes, here's here's a gamers wrapped. Yeah, but that said, like,

621
00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:29.159
I mean, it would be twenty
twenty five, I imagine will be

622
00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:31.239
the next because they do three years
usually, so be twenty twenty five would

623
00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:35.719
be the next main line, So
that would probably be that would do.

624
00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:38.440
Yeah, that would probably be on
the switch to so like by default,

625
00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:44.000
I imagine it'll hopefully run in look
better, hopefully, But I bet we're

626
00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:47.000
I mean, next year we're going
to get I'm sure a remaker, another

627
00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:51.360
archist or something. Oh yeah,
yeah, another archist. I would love

628
00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:53.679
another legend or something. I like
that. Style a lot. I thought

629
00:39:53.679 --> 00:39:59.480
that was cool. I mean,
according to Pokemon YouTubers, there's going to

630
00:39:59.519 --> 00:40:04.079
be a new Pokemon game for every
generation next year, which is bullshit,

631
00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:07.400
but you know that generation. Oh
yeah, I mean so some person tweeted

632
00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:13.679
a photo of like four different maps
and they were like, hmmm, uh,

633
00:40:13.960 --> 00:40:17.239
these are my predictions. And of
course YouTubers were like, we're like,

634
00:40:17.440 --> 00:40:22.719
they're making a new Canto game,
a new Joe Too game, Scarlet

635
00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:24.960
and Violet two, and a Gen
five game. And it's like, okay,

636
00:40:25.039 --> 00:40:31.320
let's slow down here, let's slow
down, relax anyway, Pokemon cool.

637
00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:34.480
That's the last time I'll talk about
Pokemon for a while, I'm sure.

638
00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:37.599
But Pokemon Sick, yeah, scarltand
Violat I think is very good,

639
00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:43.000
Like if you can get through the
the the the technical issues, I think

640
00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:47.119
as a package, especially with the
DLCs now, it feels like a complete

641
00:40:47.159 --> 00:40:52.280
game with a robust endgame, with
a bunch of things to do, Pokemon

642
00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:57.639
to collect, places to explore,
like it is a massive game, and

643
00:40:58.039 --> 00:41:01.119
I think it's very good, especially
for you because your mister competitive boy over

644
00:41:01.159 --> 00:41:05.039
here. Yes, I'm curious to
check out the competitive stuff. I haven't

645
00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:08.239
really dabbled too much since they added
the new Pokemon or since they added the

646
00:41:08.360 --> 00:41:13.559
DLC. Yeah, yeah, that's
it, all right, that's all I've

647
00:41:13.559 --> 00:41:15.639
been playing. Yeah, I've been
playing too much. I have been playing

648
00:41:16.159 --> 00:41:20.599
Alan Wake to the Final Draft,
which is the oh yeah, new game

649
00:41:20.639 --> 00:41:24.119
plus. I don't even know what
to say about it, because can you

650
00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:29.320
say anything not? I mean,
it's so like I'm halfway through it right

651
00:41:29.360 --> 00:41:32.679
now, and and I hit like
a moment that was like really like,

652
00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:38.320
ok we're doing this like another playthrough
what like, because you so new game

653
00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:45.239
plus new game plus so the yeah, there's there's there's story reasons why you

654
00:41:45.280 --> 00:41:52.000
would be doing everything okay second time, and there's like some acknowledgment that like,

655
00:41:52.559 --> 00:42:00.599
hey we've been here before. There's
some changes. More body please,

656
00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:02.840
Oh my god. Yeah, I
play a whole game about Audie. Yeah

657
00:42:04.039 --> 00:42:08.880
that's got some got some lore,
he does some unexplored lore. Yeah,

658
00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:14.719
but yeah, it's mostly the same
game, but like sprinkled in are just

659
00:42:14.760 --> 00:42:17.880
like a couple of changes, and
it's like just enough, we're like playing

660
00:42:17.880 --> 00:42:21.159
through it again. You're like okay, yeah yeah, and then like every

661
00:42:21.159 --> 00:42:23.480
once in a while, like things
different and you're like, oh, shit.

662
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:27.639
You know. It's one of those
things where it's like, you know,

663
00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:30.480
if you played through alan Wick one
the first or alan Wake two the

664
00:42:30.519 --> 00:42:35.559
first time, and we're like,
I'm good. You know, I wouldn't

665
00:42:35.599 --> 00:42:38.199
say this is like you have to
play this, but for like the diehard

666
00:42:38.239 --> 00:42:42.239
sickos who are like I can't get
enough. I need to know everything.

667
00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:46.920
Mark the Mark Delaney's world where he's
like a little tidbit is like enough to

668
00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:50.559
sustain you. Like, man,
dude, this is it has given me

669
00:42:50.599 --> 00:42:54.960
some good stuff that I'm I'm already
like you're definitely setting up for you know,

670
00:42:57.360 --> 00:43:00.440
maybe control too, maybe like just
something else in that you universe,

671
00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:04.039
like who knows, but it's cool. I'm also playing it on the nightmare

672
00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:12.159
difficulty, which I actually don't think
is that hard. Okay, I would

673
00:43:12.199 --> 00:43:14.280
know I was because everyone else is
like, yeah, man, it's like

674
00:43:14.360 --> 00:43:16.440
kind of tough, and I was
just like, like, you're a gamer?

675
00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:22.280
Am I just a gamer? I
was actually like double checking to be

676
00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:25.920
like did I really pick it?
Because like hard of me, George is

677
00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:30.639
a god this game. No,
man, she's too busy playing Bolers.

678
00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:34.039
I was like, I'm gonna play
Allen Wake. She's like good, I'm

679
00:43:34.039 --> 00:43:38.320
gonna play Bolarer's kid. Yeah,
paying attention to a steering instead of nerdy

680
00:43:38.360 --> 00:43:45.440
ass most difficult Alana difficulty. Yeah. So yeah, that's cool. I

681
00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:46.800
I did get so far. I'm
excited to get to the end and see

682
00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:52.679
what the new ending is. Whole
debating whether or not I should replay it

683
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:54.119
or if I should just google the
ending. I think I'm gonna wait for

684
00:43:54.159 --> 00:43:58.199
you to get to the ending and
then you can. I want to hear

685
00:43:58.239 --> 00:44:02.119
your thoughts before I side. If
anyone remedy's listening, don't, don't plug

686
00:44:02.159 --> 00:44:05.679
your ears. But uh, because
I played it with my brother over the

687
00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:07.239
break and he's like, he's like, oh, man, like I really

688
00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:09.800
wanted what happens in the new game
plus stuff. So I'm capping as I'm

689
00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:13.440
playing. I'm just gonna like cut
together all the new stuff and I'm just

690
00:44:13.440 --> 00:44:15.719
gonna send it to him. You
can experience it. So uh, if

691
00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:19.760
you want that, I could just
I could just send you my video after

692
00:44:19.960 --> 00:44:22.760
I got to keep it on the
low. I guess I don't want to.

693
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:24.639
I want to just like me selling
weed in middle school before that,

694
00:44:24.639 --> 00:44:29.440
though, I'm sorry say i'd want
the definitive like, take from you whether

695
00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:32.519
or not I should replay it or
not. I will say just replaying it

696
00:44:32.519 --> 00:44:36.480
a second time, but you you've
already kind of experienced this anyway. Yeah,

697
00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:38.599
I've played it once then saw a
second play through. It is cool

698
00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:42.480
replaying it a second time because you
just pick up on a lot of stuff,

699
00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:45.960
you know, like the things people
say, like kind of like stuff

700
00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:49.400
that at the time was like,
what what the fuck are you talking about?

701
00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:51.800
And the like, with context,
you're like, oh, that's what

702
00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:54.360
they were saying, like oh my
god, or you know, like you

703
00:44:54.400 --> 00:45:00.039
know, characters and the directions they
go and kind of like motivations make a

704
00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:04.199
lot more sense. So it's definitely
a cool game to play a second time

705
00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:07.239
for that reason because you you kind
of get to you to see all the

706
00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:09.280
pieces and how they came together,
and you're like, ah, man,

707
00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:13.880
they were they were thinking this the
whole time. You know. It's one

708
00:45:13.920 --> 00:45:17.159
of those things where like once you
know what happens in the end, it

709
00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:22.239
recontactualizes the things that lead up to
it. So I think a second play

710
00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:23.400
through, I would do a second
play through. Yeah, I do think

711
00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:28.559
it's worth eventually doing a second play
through. You'll do it over break a

712
00:45:28.559 --> 00:45:31.800
good time. That's what's up.
So yeah, that's cool. That's about

713
00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:37.480
it. I haven't played it yet, but I am going to uh take

714
00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:44.480
the office's PSVR two home because they
put out the Resident of four VR on

715
00:45:44.599 --> 00:45:46.519
Friday. They just like threw that
ship out there. Oh there you go.

716
00:45:46.719 --> 00:45:51.000
Yeah, yeah, like they announced
it like right after the game wards.

717
00:45:51.000 --> 00:45:52.480
So god, it's out. Oh
I see that. No, I

718
00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:55.840
know me too. I was like, oh, okay, PSVR two only

719
00:45:57.679 --> 00:46:00.800
two only three update, which is
cool. So it's the first game for

720
00:46:00.840 --> 00:46:07.199
that since it launched, right uh
god, damn, I mean the only

721
00:46:07.239 --> 00:46:10.480
game on the ps v R two. Now they did know they did Village

722
00:46:10.679 --> 00:46:14.400
out of the VR mode, which
I thought was okay. Yeah, but

723
00:46:14.400 --> 00:46:17.840
that was launch. Wasn't it slightly
after? Okay, that wasn't launch,

724
00:46:17.880 --> 00:46:22.960
but it was like slightly after,
but I thought that was okay. I'm

725
00:46:23.039 --> 00:46:28.360
kind of hopeful that for is better. I think I think the reason why

726
00:46:28.599 --> 00:46:30.280
Village didn't feel as good in VR
is because kind of some of the quirks

727
00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:34.960
of the way Village is designed,
where I think like four could maybe like

728
00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:37.679
play better, if that makes sense. So I am excited to see it

729
00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:44.039
dude, you get to like,
I want a knife, Perry time knife

730
00:46:44.079 --> 00:46:45.599
Pery look sick knife for and you
can throw the knife too. So I'm

731
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:50.360
gonna throw the knife at people.
I'm gonna carry Parry that chainsaw. Oh

732
00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:53.480
I'm so excited. So you know, look forward to that. You're the

733
00:46:53.519 --> 00:46:58.000
You're the o G resident evil VR
player. Yep, that's how you.

734
00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:00.719
You got your fame and fortune Hero
games play. So yeah, yeah,

735
00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:05.960
yeah, kind of yeah, that's
what's up. So anyway, that's that's

736
00:47:06.079 --> 00:47:12.039
me that I don't know. I've
been very slowly taking away a bowlders Gate

737
00:47:13.159 --> 00:47:15.559
loot that body. Yeah, just
trying to wrap some games. I was

738
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:19.400
going to play Tears of the Kingdom, but then Jeff Grabs spoiled the entire

739
00:47:19.480 --> 00:47:22.599
Holy Ship dude, so uh that
game Now he didn't even need to spoil

740
00:47:22.639 --> 00:47:28.199
it too, like we're coming after
you. It didn't add anything to the

741
00:47:28.320 --> 00:47:30.719
argument. He was like, I'm
just spoiling it, and then spoiled it

742
00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:31.880
and then went back to the music, and we're like, wait, no,

743
00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:37.119
you didn't need to damn To be
fair, he didn't say a lot.

744
00:47:37.599 --> 00:47:44.239
There's so much more context and things
that happen that are missing. I

745
00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:45.159
know. That's like one thing that
I was like, oh well, now

746
00:47:45.199 --> 00:47:49.639
I know that I think that the
best moment because they were talking about best

747
00:47:49.639 --> 00:47:52.400
moment with the Master's word. What
happens with the Master's stord? Right?

748
00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:57.159
I heard that he talked about best
moment and they talked about like the final

749
00:47:57.239 --> 00:48:01.280
scene. I was without context,
but he did say something pretty big.

750
00:48:01.480 --> 00:48:04.440
He said something pretty big that was
like, oh, well, now,

751
00:48:04.679 --> 00:48:09.000
fuck me, I guess just funny. Oh my god, So don't watch

752
00:48:09.039 --> 00:48:14.920
the VOD actually, so don't go
or skip that part. Yeah, yeah,

753
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:16.960
that's it for me. Michael.
Let me tell you about a game

754
00:48:17.000 --> 00:48:21.960
called Stepmania. Ooh, that is
all I've been playing since I got back

755
00:48:21.960 --> 00:48:25.960
because, uh so Fortnite dropped the
rocket racing thing and they did the Harmonics

756
00:48:27.039 --> 00:48:30.840
Rhythm game. And the Harmonics Rhythm
game in Fortnite is not that good,

757
00:48:30.519 --> 00:48:34.440
unfortunately. I'm sure it will grow
and change. So then, but I

758
00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:37.800
was phenan for a rhythm game.
I just booted up old Stepmania, and

759
00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:40.440
you know what I did. Don't
tell the FEDS, but I downloaded so

760
00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:44.760
many song packs, a bunch of
anime openings. I have all of the

761
00:48:44.840 --> 00:48:52.000
Chainsaw Man endings. As Yeah,
I love the change. I think all

762
00:48:52.039 --> 00:48:55.079
the time twelve or I think it
was like ten or twelve and it was

763
00:48:55.119 --> 00:48:59.599
like one for each for each on. Yeah, they did a special ending

764
00:48:59.760 --> 00:49:07.000
for every episode of Chainsaw Man.
So they're official, like like I never

765
00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:10.559
said that you like you you.
I mean, it's that's not even it's

766
00:49:10.559 --> 00:49:15.000
not like illegal. They're not selling
these things, but you Yeah, you

767
00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:19.239
drag an MP three into a folder
and then like a note chart and then

768
00:49:19.280 --> 00:49:22.519
there you go. Oh it's so
it's like an audio surf where like an

769
00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:24.840
auto generates does an auto generate,
but people have to make this. People

770
00:49:24.840 --> 00:49:27.960
still have to make the step.
They make the step chart and then you

771
00:49:27.960 --> 00:49:30.280
can just download it for free.
Got it? So, I mean I

772
00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:34.320
guess you get the music, but
if you on the met whatever, it's

773
00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:37.280
a it's been sick. And I
have so many songs on there too,

774
00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:42.360
uh hell yeah, yeah, I
think they had at least one or two

775
00:49:42.559 --> 00:49:45.880
on Chainsaw Man as well. Yeah, and they have a Gundam Jewitch.

776
00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:52.079
Yeah, I guess you got the
intro g Witch. The intro, which

777
00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:57.599
is that's idol By is probably like
one of the best songs I've ever heard

778
00:49:57.679 --> 00:49:59.880
in like a long time. I
agree, So I got like a four

779
00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:04.440
in it Stepmania. I bit the
track to that rules in Stepmania. It

780
00:50:04.519 --> 00:50:07.039
is fucking hard. Uh, it's
so good, it's so good. But

781
00:50:07.079 --> 00:50:09.000
yeah, I just I've been I
go home and I just play. I've

782
00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:12.599
been rating and Final Fantasy fourteen of
course, like I usually do. But

783
00:50:13.039 --> 00:50:15.880
after that, I just played Stepmania
for five hours and I'm just chilling playing

784
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:21.599
all kinds of anime opening specially you're
not playing Fortnite Festival. No, absolutely

785
00:50:21.599 --> 00:50:24.679
not now when I got step Mania, baby, come on now. But

786
00:50:24.760 --> 00:50:30.000
yeah, I don't want to get
back into d DR. Okay, the

787
00:50:30.039 --> 00:50:32.679
way back, I went to Emporium
with a blessing a couple of friends not

788
00:50:32.719 --> 00:50:37.559
too long ago. I got like
mad Quarters or the tokens that they Yeah,

789
00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:40.000
and there's a really good DDR machine
at the emporium in San Francisco.

790
00:50:40.480 --> 00:50:45.280
Here in San Francisco because the the
d pad, the dance pad is it's

791
00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:49.599
it's still good. Oh yeah,
yeah, like it's I'm like, oh

792
00:50:49.639 --> 00:50:53.440
this is it's uh, it's responsive
still and it's a d d R Extreme,

793
00:50:53.480 --> 00:50:57.159
which is like a good like one
of the best mixes for the R

794
00:50:57.199 --> 00:51:01.079
three machines. Yeah, and I
got twenty dollars worth of tokens. That

795
00:51:01.199 --> 00:51:06.480
was way too much. I had
pocket full of gold tokens and ship.

796
00:51:06.639 --> 00:51:08.679
I have them at home just so
good, don't even need them. Yeah.

797
00:51:08.880 --> 00:51:12.519
One thing you're like, I'm good, Well it's it's one song for

798
00:51:12.639 --> 00:51:15.519
tokens. It's actually a very good
deal. So I'm gonna be back there.

799
00:51:15.519 --> 00:51:19.360
I'm gonna get into good shape.
Is there is there a community of

800
00:51:19.440 --> 00:51:23.119
like d DR machine hackers who can
like put in custom songs and sideload that

801
00:51:23.159 --> 00:51:28.639
ship into a d DR machine.
Y'all will be wild emporium if I could,

802
00:51:28.719 --> 00:51:30.679
like, because because I know that, Like as a kid, that

803
00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:32.199
was always like, oh if you
could buy like a like a machine,

804
00:51:32.199 --> 00:51:35.519
it was like, do you have
like a d DR machine in your garage,

805
00:51:35.559 --> 00:51:37.920
your baseball or whatever. What you
would do is you just get a

806
00:51:37.960 --> 00:51:42.119
PC with Stepmania in it, right, and then you want like the proper

807
00:51:42.920 --> 00:51:45.920
yeah, the machine with you know, the the nice and all that,

808
00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:50.679
because yeah, theyone have like you
buy like the you know, the little

809
00:51:50.679 --> 00:51:52.320
pad or whatever. But look kind
of like what we do here for our

810
00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:57.000
street Fighter machine, which is like
it's just the PC inside of a cabinet,

811
00:51:57.840 --> 00:52:00.119
so you get like a proper d
DR machine that you were like rewire

812
00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:05.719
with a PC and you put yes, they put Stepmania on that infinite songs

813
00:52:06.440 --> 00:52:08.039
like I think that's my way,
that's my way back into being fit,

814
00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:13.320
marathon running shape. My doctor will
be very happy, my cardiologist, what

815
00:52:13.360 --> 00:52:15.480
have you been doing? Stepmania?
Like, I don't know what the fuck

816
00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:22.920
that is? Uh? One game
actually that John Luke and I we've played

817
00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:27.000
a bit. Is a Lethal Company, yes, which I do want to

818
00:52:27.000 --> 00:52:28.960
play more. Have you played Lethal
Company? I know about it. I

819
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:31.559
haven't played it though it is it
is a riot. It is so fucking

820
00:52:31.679 --> 00:52:39.000
funny. Yeah, it's pasmophobia but
better, I mean different, but similar

821
00:52:39.079 --> 00:52:42.960
vibes that like, you know,
you land on a play or you show

822
00:52:43.039 --> 00:52:45.960
up on a place, there's like
a little cabinet of tools that you grab

823
00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:49.239
or you buy more tools and then
as a team you go in. But

824
00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:53.599
I think what makes it so good
is just the use of proximity chat and

825
00:52:53.679 --> 00:53:00.199
how you've got walkie talkies and you're
talking to people and you're like like John

826
00:53:00.239 --> 00:53:02.199
Leaq, where are you over?
And then and then John Ley replies and

827
00:53:02.239 --> 00:53:05.599
I'm like, Okay, I'm going
through here, and then I just don't

828
00:53:05.599 --> 00:53:08.239
hear him anymore. And then there's
this question did he die or did his

829
00:53:09.000 --> 00:53:13.360
walkie TALKI run out of battery or
did he drop it? Can he not

830
00:53:13.440 --> 00:53:16.400
answer? What's going on? And
and just the way things escalate to a

831
00:53:16.440 --> 00:53:21.400
point where you're like sprinting for the
ship and you're carrying your dumb little bolt

832
00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:23.719
to change to exchange the money.
S extra funny is when you die,

833
00:53:23.840 --> 00:53:28.840
you're putting like the afterlife like you
know, uh, spectator mode, but

834
00:53:28.880 --> 00:53:30.559
like everyone else can talk to each
other then yeah, and so you're like,

835
00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:32.679
do what happened? They're like I
di have like ten minutes ago.

836
00:53:32.760 --> 00:53:36.519
And then and then like so like
me and Jake would be like listening,

837
00:53:36.679 --> 00:53:38.119
we'd be dead. We'd be like
hearing mad be like guys, are you

838
00:53:38.119 --> 00:53:45.320
there? Guys, we're just like
a figure out. He doesn't want to

839
00:53:45.400 --> 00:53:46.719
leave you because he doesn't want to
leave us, but it's just like he's

840
00:53:46.719 --> 00:53:52.599
gotta figured out no. And then
just like so many good moments like that,

841
00:53:52.719 --> 00:54:00.239
like couple with Matt Well one where
he like Matt like ran off ahead

842
00:54:00.239 --> 00:54:02.199
and we me and Jake were like
okay, like you know, we're still

843
00:54:02.199 --> 00:54:05.480
like figuring things out, and then
we're like walking by and we're just like

844
00:54:05.480 --> 00:54:07.239
where is Matt? And then we
just like turn and look and there's like

845
00:54:07.239 --> 00:54:10.760
a there's a like a lake and
there's just a box floating in the middle.

846
00:54:12.159 --> 00:54:15.320
Were just like, I think that's
Matt dead, Like, yeah,

847
00:54:15.400 --> 00:54:21.360
he's probably dead or you have to
go back to uh you're like the company

848
00:54:21.360 --> 00:54:24.239
building, any building, and like
drop off your loot because if you don't,

849
00:54:24.320 --> 00:54:30.599
if you don't deliver enough within the
allot of days, you get fired.

850
00:54:30.679 --> 00:54:35.800
And I fired Space. They spaced
you out as a commentary on capitalism

851
00:54:36.079 --> 00:54:42.679
exactly, but like the door opens
early, so you can technically like leave

852
00:54:42.719 --> 00:54:46.679
while you're still like landing, and
so like Jake just like jumps out and

853
00:54:46.760 --> 00:54:50.920
I thought, well, I thought
i'd land where you sell it, but

854
00:54:51.039 --> 00:54:54.559
I jumped way too soon and just
fell into abyss. Because of the way

855
00:54:54.679 --> 00:54:59.280
voice chat works, I can't tell
anyone like no, no one knows here.

856
00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:01.760
So I didn't hear Jake say anything. But I did hear Matt do

857
00:55:01.880 --> 00:55:06.599
that. Yeah, Because I'm like
on the console still doing stuff, I

858
00:55:06.599 --> 00:55:08.159
don't even hear Jake like jumps and
I just but all of a sudden,

859
00:55:08.159 --> 00:55:13.159
I hear Matt just go nothing,
and then I like turn around and they're

860
00:55:13.159 --> 00:55:16.480
both gone. I was like,
what the fuck? And then it lands

861
00:55:16.519 --> 00:55:19.440
and I get out. I don't
even see the bodies, and I'm like,

862
00:55:20.480 --> 00:55:23.000
I'm just gonna assume they're dead.
That's so funny. There's there's so

863
00:55:23.039 --> 00:55:27.239
many ridiculous situations, and I think
what also makes it so good is you

864
00:55:27.280 --> 00:55:30.880
can't really fight back with the enemies, and enemies, uh, they like

865
00:55:31.039 --> 00:55:35.480
you usually from what I can tell, the enemies have like a specific sense

866
00:55:35.480 --> 00:55:37.480
that they're really good at. Some
are like really good hearing. So if

867
00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:43.880
you're using proximity chat, you have
to be like I did not realize that

868
00:55:43.960 --> 00:55:46.320
until like afterwards, until it was
too late. I was trying to We

869
00:55:46.320 --> 00:55:50.840
were playing with Cali, and I
was trying because there's one creature that lumbers

870
00:55:50.880 --> 00:55:52.719
around that's really big, that shows
up at night and Callie's screaming. I'm

871
00:55:52.719 --> 00:55:57.119
like, you gotta no screaming.
It can hear. You just chases her

872
00:55:57.159 --> 00:56:00.800
down, and well, tried on
you so good. Yeah, a lot

873
00:56:00.800 --> 00:56:05.920
of cool emergent moments. Yeah,
And like, because you're always at a

874
00:56:05.960 --> 00:56:12.440
disadvantage, you see a creature and
it's like, Okay, you're like slowly

875
00:56:12.519 --> 00:56:16.159
trying to sneak by, and then
you turn and it's by run and then

876
00:56:16.159 --> 00:56:20.000
all of a sudden, everything's chasing
you run out the door. It's it's

877
00:56:20.000 --> 00:56:22.960
so hectic, it's so funny.
It's got like a real low poly goofy

878
00:56:23.079 --> 00:56:28.360
art style, like the way the
characters run their little front animation so bad.

879
00:56:30.639 --> 00:56:32.199
That's great, that's the next big
hit. Yeah. Everyone on Twitch

880
00:56:32.199 --> 00:56:37.159
is like this is the streamers game, right, Like I look at my

881
00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:38.880
all of people on phone, it's
like Lethal Company, all Lethal Company,

882
00:56:38.880 --> 00:56:43.239
all Lethal Company. It's pretty wild. I still haven't given a shot,

883
00:56:43.280 --> 00:56:45.599
but I might. You have fun. It's gonna do a little bit of

884
00:56:45.599 --> 00:56:49.559
that overbreak. Yeah, definitely play
it with the proximity chat. Yeah,

885
00:56:49.639 --> 00:56:52.039
don't be on discord, Like maybe
if you want to have discord for like

886
00:56:52.119 --> 00:56:54.800
just to learn if someone teaches you. But I would say, like when

887
00:56:54.840 --> 00:56:59.239
you actually get going, it got
a mute. Part of the fun is

888
00:56:59.320 --> 00:57:02.840
just not being able to communicate,
yeah yeah, or having to very deliberately

889
00:57:02.840 --> 00:57:09.280
communicate. So good. So that's
good. Yeah sick sick. Oh,

890
00:57:09.280 --> 00:57:12.440
I did you know what? Actually? Uh, I didn't play enough to

891
00:57:12.440 --> 00:57:14.840
talk about it. But I did
very briefly play a little bit of Lego

892
00:57:15.400 --> 00:57:21.440
Fortnite. Oh right, yeah,
the Minecraft, the Minecraft mode. People

893
00:57:21.440 --> 00:57:24.239
seem pretty hot on it. How
is kind of whatever about it in the

894
00:57:24.320 --> 00:57:29.079
little bit that I played seems pretty
basic. I think that's my problem is,

895
00:57:29.400 --> 00:57:32.519
like me and Georgia popped on it
because uh uh, we really like

896
00:57:32.559 --> 00:57:36.400
we love Grounded Valheim, like those
kinds of games. So when I told

897
00:57:36.440 --> 00:57:38.400
her, like, hey, they
like they have like a crafting kind of

898
00:57:38.480 --> 00:57:40.840
surraval mode, she was like,
let's play it. I want to play

899
00:57:40.880 --> 00:57:45.719
it so bad. But I think
my current issue with it is that like

900
00:57:46.719 --> 00:57:50.719
a lot of kind of like the
quality of life stuff for the things that

901
00:57:50.760 --> 00:57:54.360
I think other crafting survival games have
done better like it they this game doesn't

902
00:57:54.400 --> 00:57:58.800
quite have yet. So it's like
things like you know, oh, when

903
00:57:58.840 --> 00:58:02.519
I when I put in a chest
to store, you can like pull from

904
00:58:02.559 --> 00:58:06.760
that when you're building something nearby it
Like this doesn't do that, or you

905
00:58:06.800 --> 00:58:10.400
know, you like put a thing
down like in Grounded for example, when

906
00:58:10.440 --> 00:58:14.639
you put down like a wall,
you can like put it down and then

907
00:58:14.719 --> 00:58:17.480
like everyone can go up and like
add resources to it doesn't work that way,

908
00:58:17.519 --> 00:58:20.960
you have to have all the resources, so it's like it's just kind

909
00:58:20.960 --> 00:58:22.920
of like tedious stuff, just like
Okay, hey, I need this,

910
00:58:22.920 --> 00:58:24.679
this and this, and it's like
all right, drop it in the chest

911
00:58:24.679 --> 00:58:28.840
and then I'll go pick it up. And it's just like just like enough

912
00:58:28.880 --> 00:58:32.800
weird things that at least for us, as like seasoned veterans of that genre,

913
00:58:32.840 --> 00:58:36.119
are kind of like, eh,
yeah, I wish this was better,

914
00:58:36.880 --> 00:58:39.880
but I mean like it looks amazing, like like the game looks great,

915
00:58:40.280 --> 00:58:45.400
Like the lego stuff is like super
cute. I also think maybe I

916
00:58:45.440 --> 00:58:46.719
just need to try with like more
people, because it was just the two

917
00:58:46.760 --> 00:58:50.239
of us and we're just like,
yeah, it's okay. But like it

918
00:58:50.239 --> 00:58:52.360
it seems like people really like it. And I've seen people like already like

919
00:58:52.760 --> 00:58:57.280
messing around with the Creator mode where
you can just kind of go wild and

920
00:58:57.280 --> 00:59:00.880
people are building like pirate ships and
all sorts of stuff like that seems really

921
00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:06.480
rad. But that's I'm more into
the like survival mechanic aspect and it seems

922
00:59:06.480 --> 00:59:09.239
okay. So I don't know,
I would like to give it more of

923
00:59:09.280 --> 00:59:13.239
a shot because I mean it's just
like free to play and can check it

924
00:59:13.280 --> 00:59:15.440
out, but you'll probably avolve.
I'm sure the lad more to it.

925
00:59:15.599 --> 00:59:22.320
Finally, they put building in Fortnite. Yep, building in Fortnite. I

926
00:59:22.360 --> 00:59:24.719
think they should add a Save the
World bring it back. You should add

927
00:59:24.719 --> 00:59:28.320
a Horde mode, so that would
be crazy. They got a Rhythm game.

928
00:59:28.320 --> 00:59:30.079
They got it's like ten bucks.
They have to like buy it.

929
00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:34.000
Oh it still exists, like yeah, place in the menu. Dude.

930
00:59:34.000 --> 00:59:36.360
That was my first time loading up
Fortnite in like a really long time,

931
00:59:36.440 --> 00:59:38.719
and that menu was giving me like
a headache. It's not as bad as

932
00:59:38.719 --> 00:59:42.119
Call of Duty, not as bad
as Call of Duty, but like it's

933
00:59:42.159 --> 00:59:45.320
kind of getting there in some spot. Like, dude, the menu now,

934
00:59:45.760 --> 00:59:47.760
like because they're just trying to be
roadblocks so bad. So like they're

935
00:59:47.800 --> 00:59:53.079
they have all the like user created
like stuff and it just looks like I'm

936
00:59:53.119 --> 00:59:59.400
looking at like the worst like you
tube recommended feet. Yeah, like it's

937
00:59:59.440 --> 01:00:04.760
like all these like recommended like you
know, do this fast or just like

938
01:00:05.400 --> 01:00:07.800
zombies, and it's got like that
fucking font that you see on like all

939
01:00:07.840 --> 01:00:12.840
those kinds of channels. I'm just
like, yeah, I mean, hey,

940
01:00:12.880 --> 01:00:15.599
for you know, kids who are
with it, that's cool. But

941
01:00:15.159 --> 01:00:20.519
Uh, I ain't here for that. I cannot be so when I launched

942
01:00:20.519 --> 01:00:22.039
Fortnite, actually don't know if I
launched it. When I launched it,

943
01:00:22.039 --> 01:00:27.400
this happens anymore. But I have
the Radiohead kid A music playing because it's

944
01:00:27.400 --> 01:00:32.119
in the game because Epic did that
partnership with Radiohead for that museum exhibit sort

945
01:00:32.159 --> 01:00:35.960
of thing. But now there's all
this like weird radio Head stuff in that

946
01:00:36.000 --> 01:00:37.960
game. It's so bizarre. It
was like a fever dream, even seeing

947
01:00:38.039 --> 01:00:45.840
like the the Guitar Hero or whatever
for festival and just seeing like these like

948
01:00:45.039 --> 01:00:50.119
random ass characters that shouldn't be there
dancing. I'm like, is hitting the

949
01:00:50.199 --> 01:00:58.000
gritty in front of his keyboard fucking
playing I don't know bad Guy Byace?

950
01:00:59.559 --> 01:01:02.920
Yeah, that stuff's like I like
that stuff in theory. But then I

951
01:01:02.960 --> 01:01:07.679
actually find the mode like kind of
basic. Yeah, that's why I played

952
01:01:07.679 --> 01:01:09.599
Statmania, and I'm just like,
ah, like it's okay, but like,

953
01:01:09.920 --> 01:01:14.079
uh, the notes aren't even different
colors. The notes are different colors.

954
01:01:14.440 --> 01:01:16.519
I think the presentation is a little
like basic in my opinion. Also,

955
01:01:16.719 --> 01:01:20.880
no controllers support at launch. They're
adding it in later, but like,

956
01:01:20.920 --> 01:01:22.400
what are you doing? Yeah,
I might still are ready to go

957
01:01:22.960 --> 01:01:25.000
and you're not even giving me that. Yeah, it seems seems a little

958
01:01:25.000 --> 01:01:28.880
preemptive. I think, yeah,
but I don't know. We'll see where

959
01:01:28.880 --> 01:01:30.679
it goes. But you know,
hey, you can uh, you can

960
01:01:30.679 --> 01:01:34.960
put Thanos in it, So that's
cool, I guess, but can you

961
01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:38.519
put in thanosis? Oh you ever
seen that? Fools don And with that

962
01:01:38.519 --> 01:01:45.800
that is a games But after dark
for this week episode twenty uh, two

963
01:01:45.880 --> 01:01:51.239
hundred more to go? Wow,
two hundred more for twenty oh oh wow,

964
01:01:52.159 --> 01:01:54.400
that's a more podcasts at that point, man, we can be Will

965
01:01:54.440 --> 01:01:58.760

966
01:01:58.760 --> 01:02:01.639
thank you for joining us this week. So we're almost at the end of

967
01:02:01.639 --> 01:02:08.000
the year. We technically go on
vacation starting next Thursday, so we're not

968
01:02:08.000 --> 01:02:14.119
gonna have a live episode. We
are going to be recording a special episode

969
01:02:14.119 --> 01:02:19.480
that will be going up over the
holiday and no promises, but I would

970
01:02:19.519 --> 01:02:22.719
like to if possible, record one
more in edition so that we have something

971
01:02:22.800 --> 01:02:28.719

972
01:02:28.719 --> 01:02:30.480
