WEBVTT

1
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:27.399
Don't like a bar. You don't
have to start, are you? He

2
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:33.039
was doing like small time bar talk
about those Warriors guys tonight. Don't follow

3
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:37.359
sports, Okay, I don't know. Maybe maybe Stewart does. Who's editing

4
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:41.560
this episode? I actually you're gonna
start this off with him being like,

5
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.759
what do I do with this intro? That was so bad? That the

6
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:48.600
intro that was it clear is nowhere
near the worst one we've done. No,

7
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:50.399
No, we've done much for us. At least I didn't mention any

8
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:53.200
baby so far. Oh yeah,
we don't have to go into that,

9
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.359
Mike. No, I'm legitimately excited
for the game. Warriors Lakers is a

10
00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:00.359
good matchup. That's good ball.
Back at it. We're going to a

11
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:06.359
baseball tomorrow later this Week's a good
song, I am. I'm going to

12
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:11.920
a Red Sox game at Fenway Park
football. It's got a big wall.

13
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.680
I guess my dad wanted to see
the big Wall for his whole life,

14
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:17.920
so the Green Monster. Wait,
your dad is a Royals fans, the

15
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:21.799
Royals guy, but he's just an
overall baseball fan. And I know of

16
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.959
the Green Wall from King Griffy Jun
your own Superintendo m it's a man.

17
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:30.599
Boston sports fans are gonna hate me. Amanda would know. I think it's

18
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:37.439
a smaller field than usual. Yeah, like shorter to hit a home run,

19
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.439
not taking the green wall and the
green monster. I think they call

20
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:45.959
it into account. That seems wrong. Well, no, so that's baseball

21
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:52.319
is like there are certain regulation measurements
and rules. But also like soccer in

22
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.840
Europe, I don't know if this
pertains the MLS. The fields are different

23
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:59.400
lengths sometimes, like if you go
to uh, Wembley, the field's going

24
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.680
to be way longer than a lot
of other sports, like home Again,

25
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:08.080
that seems obviously if it's like elementary
school and they're like this is all we

26
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.280
had in the backyard. There's a
big pit in the middle of it,

27
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:15.319
like you just work around. No, but this is like professional national level.

28
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.919
Yeah, they should do it like
in basketball and be like, oh,

29
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.199
if you play the Orlando Magic,
the hoop is twenty five feet tall,

30
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:25.319
you know, it's just like really
it goes up and down real fast.

31
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:29.719
If you play the Utah Jazz,
only Mormons can come watch. Yeah,

32
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.879
that's right. That doesn't impact the
play. It's like the little like

33
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:42.360
play situation where it's more like I
never have its. Like if you were

34
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.280
to be like in Detroit and they're
like, well, our baseballs are twice

35
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.120
as big, and it's there I
and they're made of iron, good luck,

36
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.919
you know. And they're tied with
a string to the center of the

37
00:02:52.960 --> 00:03:00.080
field. Yeah, and there's a
pole and you have to hit it,

38
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:01.400
you know, but it's baseball.
Where was the last time you played tether

39
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:07.240
ball? I love tether ball angle
that perfect forty five degrees and they can't

40
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.560
hit it on their side. They're
screwed because it's her ball pole. That'd

41
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:14.599
be sweet. I could do that, putt. You'd be such a bully.

42
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:21.840
Yeah, that's what's such a cruel
thing to have in your house.

43
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.479
There's no chance Bonk would play tether
ball with me. There is no constantly

44
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:31.479
bopping it way over that head.
She would hate She would have hated it

45
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:35.000
if I had like a soft little
thing, like if I had like a

46
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.719
little thing like you know those Kleenex, uh, the single serving clean X

47
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.960
things. If I tossed one of
those underhanded to her while giving her heads

48
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.759
up, she would still do the
like George Michael from the rest of Development,

49
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:47.360
like fall into it like she does
not like things being thrown at her

50
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:52.439
or athletic things or things lying around
her head be the last thing. I

51
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:57.080
think that's probably a good survival instinct. It is, I wonder it reminds

52
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.680
me of a line from Clueless,
where they're playing nis and one of the

53
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.159
girls goes, I can't play with
a note from my doctor. I'm not

54
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:09.400
supposed to play anything where balls fly
at my face and the girls your social

55
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.360
light. That's right, that was
a trailer. I think I was confused

56
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.360
by it because I didn't know sex
stuff when it came out. That's right,

57
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.720
it was about ballstic. I didn't
under a lot of things in movies.

58
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:24.399
I started to finally understand in like
sixth grade. I didn't know what

59
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:27.839
a vagina was the first time I
saw a rat race. And he says

60
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:31.519
it in the bathroom when he's trying
to get who is it Cuba gutting?

61
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.399
Junior says in the bathroom to that
guy that he needs his I think he's

62
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:39.279
a bus driver. He needs his
clothes because he's trying to pretend to be

63
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:42.439
a bus driver like hit Man style. But he's telling her that his wife.

64
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.560
He's telling the bus driver that his
wife is in the other bathroom and

65
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.480
he's like, give me your jacket. He's like it's for the embiotic sack

66
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:50.040
or something, and he's like,
what do you need the hat for.

67
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:55.000
He's like the vagina, And I
didn't know what a vagina was, so

68
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:58.480
I it's not even a funny joke. Now that I'm old enough to understand

69
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.040
it. Yeah, but at the
time, I'm like, the mind wanders

70
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:05.680
when you hear things you don't know. I think I may have brought this

71
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:11.279
up for maybe like Shrek had a
bunch of like really spicy jokes that I

72
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:15.600
don't think I really comprehended. And
it wasn't even I wasn't that young,

73
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.000
but I remember when I saw it, it just like didn't hit me at

74
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:23.480
the time. Shrek. Shrek takes
the double entendra that Disney does to like

75
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:27.439
times ten levels. For sure.
There was a lot of like like in

76
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:29.399
Wayne's World, you know, there's
the part where they do, like,

77
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.439
oh, the gratuitous sex scam and
it's just like Mike Myers flopping around on

78
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.120
top of to your career, and
I was like, what are they doing?

79
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:36.279
I have no idea what's happening here? It was all terminator that I

80
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:46.439
understood the the baseball thing we were
talking about, sure, Supermaga Baseball four

81
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:50.160
thing, and it's actually got real
baseball players. Like I'm loving a thought

82
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:56.839
of Keith Hernandez rocketing a ball at
like Kurt Schilling's crotch. I only know

83
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.360
Keith Hernandez because of that Seinfeld.
He was a really good Mets player.

84
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.839
Okay, is he still playing?
No? Okay, if they Ruth is

85
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:08.360
old? Is he bab Ruth's in
the game of some I'm in the trailer?

86
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.560
Yeah, okay, yeah, I
don't know how they who they selected

87
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:16.480
total, but I do want to
play that. I can't wait. I

88
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:20.439
don't know. We have a story
up on Polygon today that I gotta that

89
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:24.879
we might have mentioned it. Let
me look. That World series we did

90
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.839
was extremely fun. We should do
that again when the new one comes out.

91
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.839
That'd be fun. Yes, I
would like to do that with you.

92
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:41.079
That was Oh here we go,
Okay, let me see uh June

93
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:45.560
second. Holy shit, that's a
month from this recording. Okay, I'll

94
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.199
play the hell out of that switch
probably maybe another World series. Yeah,

95
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:53.959
I get my dad on the horn. That was fun. There was that

96
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:58.560
like three game stretch where the games
were not close whatsoever. We one of

97
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.120
us had dialed into the control each
game, and then we're just like going

98
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.600
to ding dongtown every think you were
killing me, like the way there was

99
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:09.959
one where you won, like twenty
to four, though, and it's demoralizing,

100
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:12.879
especially again the whole time. Shit, yeah, we gotta do it

101
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:15.720
again. That'll be fun. I
think I'm trying to remember whether I won.

102
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:23.639
What the hell was it was it
four to three in the series or

103
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.839
the game seven or something like that. I think what is six? But

104
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.600
yeah, go dubs to the basketball
fans. It was fun. What else

105
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:40.920
you guys been up to? I
always like block out the old sports chatter

106
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:46.439
anytime, Like people are like,
I'm too cool for sports. I'm I

107
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:51.639
might fucking video games. You are
one of us, you nerd. I'm

108
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.759
I'm definitely a nerd. Mary,
I'm with you. Sports are boring.

109
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.879
I'm with you, except for hockey
when they decided to fight each other on

110
00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:03.000
the ice. YEA, what fighting? If you want to watch fighting or

111
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:07.079
fake fighting? More fighting when it
breaks out in somewhere where that's not the

112
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:09.639
main objective, that's true. It's
like like a Wendy's if you see a

113
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.600
fight, it's more exciting than if
you see a match. Yes, I

114
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:18.560
looked up the Creator Clash results because
I was interested in the concept of like

115
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.079
streamers and content creators punching each other. Because I didn't think they could do

116
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.000
it, but they did. I
do want who should I fight? Um?

117
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.920
I watched Alana's match. She won. I thought that was pretty cool.

118
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.519
He's worried that I like have too
much boxing experience to that's true.

119
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:37.840
It'd be a bit unfair. It'd
be an unfair. Yeah, you get

120
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:46.399
Wait, Alana won everything. That's
one the whole thing. It's a pyramid,

121
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.840
you know, and each time they
would keep going she made it all

122
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.039
the way. Is that you just
only boxed me serious, only one person.

123
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:58.600
That's like like grudge matches. I
guess you could probably say that,

124
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.120
but yeah. The idea is you
you get paired with someone in your weight

125
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:09.080
class and you fight them and then
just like a boxing uh night, there's

126
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.840
like maybe six to eight matches and
like there's one like heavy weight that's like

127
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:15.799
the main yeah, the title match, and then everybody else, you know,

128
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.279
you just fight until you win or
lose. Cool. Um, I

129
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.559
think It's interesting. It's an interesting
concept of like the new normal, which

130
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:28.360
is like, instead of professionals,
what if just a bunch of average mumbly

131
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.279
Joe's got up there and we taped
their hands and they just started flailing at

132
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:39.600
each other. I would watch it
decent. The fights, Um, yes,

133
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.000
and no. I would say,
like generally, you're not talking about

134
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.320
professional boxers. You were talking about
not even amateur you're talking about people.

135
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.799
Yeah, I agree, but I
think they did their best. I don't

136
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.639
think anyone phoned it in. Um, but I think if you were expecting

137
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.320
like legit boxing, it's probably not
that caliber. When is legit boxing,

138
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:03.320
they're legit each other. But I
think that for the training that they go

139
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.120
through, which is probably three to
six months of training, that's what you're

140
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.720
seeing at the end of it.
You know, I bet would kick assid.

141
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:13.360
That is Vinny Caravella. Really,
I don't think he's he's like trained

142
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.240
or anything, but I just yeah, I've just I've never been punched by

143
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.679
him, but I assume he's got
some like weird dad straight where it's just

144
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.799
like he would just knock you out
with one hit out. Well, maybe

145
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.200
it's one of those like paternal things
where you have to like hang his kids

146
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:31.159
in a cage above the match.
Yeah, you know, like hook and

147
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.720
it's like you gotta win this fight
or we're gonna keep him. And then

148
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.759
yeah, and then he just goes. He goes crazy and he's like kills

149
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:41.840
everybody. I think you gotta get
that, you get that like paternal rage.

150
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:45.399
He could beat like Lennox Lewis.
I bet if he did that.

151
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:48.720
He's got that like when he devotes
himself to something, He's got that laser

152
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:52.000
focus too. I could see him
coming in with some technique. Yeah,

153
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.639
I could see. Yeah. I
think I would come in there with a

154
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.080
wily Hubris and I would just be
like, I'm gonna give him the old

155
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:03.759
pop pop and I would miss and
someone would just bash me on the top

156
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.360
of the head and I'd fall flat. Fighting me. If you thought me,

157
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:09.360
Mary, I think you would come
out of the game strong and I

158
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.080
would just crumble completely. I would
put my hands up and just whoa.

159
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.720
I'd I do the thing where I
get between the second and third ropes and

160
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:22.559
I'm like, I'd be spanking you. Yeah. I think like I'd have

161
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:28.799
different techniques for each of you because
I assume that Dan, if I just

162
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:33.279
came at you like a crazy spider
monkey, I think I could freak you

163
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:37.080
out mentally. I would try to
poke your eyes. Is the first thing

164
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:41.399
you have boxing gloves? I would
take them off. Look, I'm a

165
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:46.639
survival mode here. I don't work. It's not a fight to the death.

166
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:50.080
Most of the time. You're talking
to someone who watches more like w

167
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:54.080
W E than any boxing match.
You that superkick on Rocky five is your

168
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.480
favorite of the bunch, of course, yes, what would be for me?

169
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.240
I would have to take it more
seriously. I don't think I could

170
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:11.159
psych you out mentally, and I
know you have boxing experience that you work

171
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:16.799
out mostly fighting and bar fighting.
Yeah, I think honestly, cushions on

172
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.919
our knuckles on the streets, I'd
probably try and play dirty. I'd probably

173
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:26.679
be like, oh, so you're
like Diamond Dame, going for them the

174
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:28.759
weird joints that you know are out
of shape. You hit in my right

175
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:33.279
shoulder because you know it's strained.
Yeah, I'd be going for any weak

176
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.399
points, whether or not it's cool, um, because I think you'd probably

177
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.320
I think you'd probably punched me.
Now we've had this discussion before. I

178
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.720
think if it was like fight to
the death and there were no boxing rules,

179
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:50.960
I think I'd have a better shot. But within you understand, I

180
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.639
would get all times I am too
like killing you already, So like the

181
00:12:54.879 --> 00:13:00.679
moment someone says one of you is
not leaving this room, I'll pull out

182
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:05.720
my like derringer from But I've always
been prepared with like a shiv at any

183
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.759
moment, like I'm always ready to
like I have a gun on the inside

184
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:13.080
of my shouldn't. I don't think
you can do this in boxing. I

185
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:16.480
can't do anything cool in boxing.
If I was going into a ring with

186
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.039
Mike Tyson, I would have a
derringer on each of my limbs, because

187
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:22.960
that is the most terrifying human being
I've ever seen in my life. Do

188
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:26.200
you think if you add like if
you were like dual wielding stun guns and

189
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:30.080
Tyson was coming after you, do
you think you could uh survive? Like

190
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:33.600
you know what, would you survive
that? Or would he be able to

191
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.240
knock you out? I think he
has enough like fortitude to push through it

192
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.879
and still strangle me to death and
then muscles go crazy, like it's like

193
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:46.440
you can't stand right. Have you
ever seen someone on meth with those like

194
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.320
they still go Actually, yeah,
I thought there's some I don't know if

195
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:54.440
it's like an adrenaline thing that can
kick in. I don't know. I've

196
00:13:54.480 --> 00:14:01.919
never been stun gun again. Like
father, you know, paternal madness.

197
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:05.919
You hang Vinnie's kids in a cage
above the ring and then you zip zap

198
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:11.360
him. I think he pushed through
it. If you would kill just saying,

199
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:15.639
are you suggesting you zip zap the
kids? No? No, no,

200
00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:18.240
you guys zip zap him. I'm
just saying you just hear what she

201
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:22.679
said about zip zapping Vinnie's kids.
I did. Yeah, I'm called for

202
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:31.519
really. Yeah, I doator clash. I do the hook thing. Dude,

203
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.279
if it was me and Vinny,
I would have to bow out or

204
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:39.600
at least let him punch me,
because he's such a he's such a nice

205
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:41.919
guy. I just don't think I
have it in me to to, you

206
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:45.159
know, to bop him. I
don't think I could do it. How

207
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:46.399
does PCP work? Because I heard
you like, if you're on PCP,

208
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:48.759
you can like fall out of a
building and walk away. So like,

209
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.080
could I just take a bunch of
I don't know if you take or snort.

210
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.559
Or I don't know how PCP works, but could I have a bunch

211
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.759
of PCP right before I fight Vinnie
and just not register anything and then be

212
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:03.919
why is Vinny in this scenario?
Or you can I have a bunch of

213
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:11.320
it could be just an unknown uh
boxing, I think you'd be stronger,

214
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:13.399
Yeah, and I wouldn't feel the
pain, right, I just eatn't eat

215
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:16.279
enough PCP, it won't feel anything. Well, I think you just don't

216
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:20.600
think you're in this world. I
think part of that is also why a

217
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:26.159
lot of in drunk driving accidents,
the drunk driver walks away like unscathed because

218
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:30.639
they're drunk, so they're not seizing
up and like tightening when they're crashing and

219
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:37.360
breaking shit in their body. Yeah, I always felt it's a stupid thought.

220
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:39.120
I'm sure this isn't how it works. But like if a plane was

221
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:41.559
going to crash over a car was
going to crash, I always assumed if

222
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:46.240
I just like made all my limbs
just like really like flex them all like,

223
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:50.600
they would make them like more solid
and then they wouldn't like I wouldn't

224
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:52.559
get all squished up. No,
Like, I think that's the worst possible

225
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:58.679
thing you could do I think I
could survive a plane crash enough pp,

226
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:02.960
I'm sure you think you could give
me a bonus, but I just think

227
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:06.360
I think it would go Okay,
I'm not You want to ask people that

228
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:12.000
like jumps at the end, like
right as it crashed, I could time.

229
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:15.879
Yes, absolutely you cannot. And
first of all, it was learned

230
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:22.519
in one of those MythBusters that jumping
at the end of like a falling elevator

231
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.919
doesn't save your life. It doesn't
reduce impact. That's crazy to me.

232
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:30.279
It seems like you're thinking all the
downward stuff. I don't know. This

233
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.399
is probably also a myth I heard
that if you were in a falling elevator,

234
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:37.200
yeah, you're supposed to go flat, Yeah, because that otherwise my

235
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.879
legs would just shoot through your chest. I could see that. But I

236
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:48.279
would also say, like, what's
better in your opinion when falling an extreme

237
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:52.399
height into water. Is it penciling
in or is it being as flat as

238
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:57.240
possible? Because when you are as
flat as possible you hit that full smack

239
00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:00.960
with your belly, you're still going
to be Fuck. You're in a high

240
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:03.200
enough height, you're gonna be at
terminal velocity. It might as well,

241
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:07.000
be concrete. It doesn't matter how
you're laying. I think I think to

242
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:08.319
down and you didn't have shoes on, I think it would kind of like

243
00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:12.200
make it what situation which a little
pencil. I would if you fell out

244
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:15.079
of a plane, if the point
was on fire and you jumped out and

245
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.519
you had time to think about it, I would take both my shoes out.

246
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:21.440
I would go pencil, and I
would point my toes straight down like

247
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:23.880
a dagger, carving a safe path. I'd go deep. The thing I'd

248
00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:26.400
be worried about is that goes so
deep that I would have to swim up

249
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:33.079
really fast before I drowned. But
I'd be fine with the impact the the

250
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:37.079
There's a lot of physics happening between
you jumping out the window and hitting the

251
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:38.519
water that I don't think you're accounting
for. You could get sucked in that

252
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:41.720
little in the you get sucked in
the jet even that like no I do.

253
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:45.079
If you don't, you don't just
jump straight out when something's going that

254
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.559
fast, like it's there's gonna be
a lot of wind resistance when you're jumping

255
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:52.599
out. All this works, he
does like a little summer salt and like

256
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:56.000
a perfect dive. You gotta hold
your butt in though, because a bunch

257
00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:02.240
of water I'll shoot up your butt. I'd wear pants, get will go

258
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:04.319
through there, water gonna break.
But how where do they do this?

259
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:10.279
How does it workt So if I
don't clench, a lot of water will

260
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:12.559
go my butt. Oh man,
damn, there's easier way to make that

261
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:17.079
happen, Like yeah, oh,
trust me, there are quite a few.

262
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:22.119
I'm just like adding any one to
the list. The day is like

263
00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:26.920
seventeen on my list. So go
down, then jump out of the plane,

264
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:33.680
do not clench, and then can
you imagine me falling from the sky

265
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:37.000
into the Hudson River, spreading my
ass cheeks, just rinning from ear to

266
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:42.400
ear, straight down. A man
died at Niagara Falls. Uh. The

267
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:48.000
CCTV cameras caught his last moments of
him spreading his butt cheeks and jumping off

268
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:53.000
of the falls. Whites said,
he seemed ecstatic. He's just doing like

269
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:57.759
a cannonball. Put your hands down
there, spready cheese. You're on a

270
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:04.039
yellow stone like the guys he fucking
got a newspaper, Like you're taking a

271
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:18.880
ship, but you're just waiting nature's
but day or like public enema ah um.

272
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:22.480
I don't think you survive a plane
crash. Oh I'm very curious how

273
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:26.559
those like that one person on certain
flights does I would be that one I

274
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:33.119
have. I have a dreams crashing
and they have to like land on the

275
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:37.279
FDR or like some crowded highway or
like the soul usity have dreams like that

276
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:41.880
all the time. I doo do
it very similar where it's like, yeah,

277
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:42.759
you're taking off, it's like,
oh my god, it's going upside

278
00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:45.960
down and we're trying to save or
we almost hit a tree or something and

279
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:48.039
you have highway like in a swamp
even and I was like, wait,

280
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:51.720
shouldn't the wing have clipped that tree? But it doesn't because it's a dream

281
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:55.319
and I'm bringing the water. Impact
is so weird in dreams, right,

282
00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:59.640
Like I don't have tree landing dreams, but I definitely have, like tried

283
00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:03.079
to fight someone in my dreams,
and my fists always kind of like it

284
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:07.839
kind of just smooshes against their face
when I fight them. It's very anti

285
00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:11.920
class. Oh yeah, it's also
hard to sprint in some dreams. It's

286
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:18.319
so hard to sprint when you're someone
dreams reading unsatisfying running in a dream like.

287
00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:21.160
That's one of the ways you're supposed
to if you want to lose a

288
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:23.079
dream, is you try to read
something, because in real life you look

289
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:26.319
at the letters and stuff and they're
just words and they don't move around.

290
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:29.799
Open up a book or look at
something in a dream and it'll just be

291
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:32.440
all jumbly and moving around. Or
if you look at it, look away,

292
00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:33.799
look back, the words will all
change. And that's how you know

293
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:37.440
you're dreaming. And that's like a
technique for lucid dreaming. It just makes

294
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:42.839
you wake up right, no,
no, you Yeah. So I go

295
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:47.759
long periods of my life, like
three years at a time where I only

296
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:51.200
lose a dream, really, and
it sounds cool and it is at first,

297
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:52.839
and you can make some cool stuff
happen. However, it gets a

298
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:57.960
bit exhausting because I wake up and
I don't even know. They say,

299
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:02.079
I think, in like your deepest
sleep, you're dreaming and you wouldn't know

300
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:06.079
it's a dream. Lucid dream is
kind of like a halfway. So if

301
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:08.559
I'm doing it that often, I'm
probably not sleeping all that well. But

302
00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:11.599
lately I've actually been dreaming and it's
weird for me. Because usually I know

303
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.680
right away I'm dreaming, really and
yeah, are you good at Like can

304
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.279
you fly? And stuff like that? When you're flying is super easy.

305
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:22.640
Yeah, it's it's it's like it's
like the Mario triple jump. Like the

306
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:25.079
first few times I try, my
mind can't wrap around it. It's like

307
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:29.480
the Neo jump in the Majors.
But then finally I'm like, I'm I'm

308
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:32.519
asleep in my bed. This is
not real. And then I start flying,

309
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:36.559
but often my mind wants me to
come back down, so it takes

310
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:40.039
a few jumps or whatever. You
can kind of like glide a little bit.

311
00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:42.359
Yeah, that's fun. That's so
cool. I can never control my

312
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:48.720
dreams of what I think about the
fact that I'm dreaming. I will instinctively

313
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:52.839
wake up, and I also when
that happens, I forget what I was

314
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:56.359
dreaming about, and I like,
I think I typically have really fun dreams,

315
00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:02.000
Like I grant myself good dreaming situations, so I want to remember them

316
00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:04.880
because I think they bring me joy. There are weird tactics if you because

317
00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:08.359
it's very very common when you become
lucid in a dream to wake up immediately

318
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:10.920
you're like, oh shit, I'm
dreaming, then hey, wake up.

319
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:14.599
The tactics that work and no one
really knows why is one big one just

320
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:17.720
starts spinning spinning place and that'll kind
of like ground you in the dream.

321
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:19.279
Another one is do something like,
you know, rub your hands together and

322
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:23.680
really focus on like the feeling and
just lock in on that. Or I'll

323
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:26.799
drop to the ground sometimes and like
if it's asphalts or grass, and I'll

324
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:30.200
just like put my hands on it
and really focus on, you know,

325
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:32.960
what it feels like. And sometimes
that'll just kind of lock you in and

326
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:37.000
you don't get jolted out. You
know. Interesting. Those are good tactics.

327
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:41.039
But I feel like if I thought
to myself, don't forget about those

328
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:45.240
tactics Dan said, when you were
dreaming, I'll just I'll pop out,

329
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:48.000
you know. Yeah, it's hard, it's hard to say sleep. Yeah,

330
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:53.000
it can be fun though. Yeah, it's like an easy thing to

331
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:59.160
say or like suggest, and it's
so hard to execute. Yeah. It's

332
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:03.640
cool though, but again, my
veil, my dream veil so thin.

333
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:08.200
Like the second I question whether or
not it's reality. Yep. Every the

334
00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:11.839
different thing where you wake up and
you're you're convinced that it's it's a real

335
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:17.119
life and then you're still dreaming.
That happened to me once where I dreamt

336
00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:22.759
uh that I I caught my partner
lying to me, and I woke up

337
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:26.279
and I was mad about it.
I don't know if that's ever happened to

338
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:32.960
you, but I let it go
eventually. But because the dream felt real

339
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:38.279
and because I woke up upset,
it was really hard for me to separate

340
00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:45.880
that it didn't happen for how my
feelings were valid, that I was angry

341
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:49.480
at this person for lying to me. I think I let it go like

342
00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:52.400
in a like a couple like an
hour. You know, that's normal,

343
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.880
I think, And that's like understandable
because they're the motions are no less real

344
00:23:56.039 --> 00:24:00.480
just because it's happening in a dream
like or I don't know what you quantify

345
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.079
that, but I had an X
that would happen, but it would take

346
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:07.720
like three days for them to get
over it. And you both know who

347
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:11.640
I'm talking about. But it happened
fairly consistently, and wait, she would

348
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:15.759
get upset about something of a dream
and me did and be actually mad at

349
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:22.680
real you. That's what Mary was
saying. Happens like like there's a big

350
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.680
difference between that and like having an
issue or a fight or day's worth of

351
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:32.400
weirdness. No, it well,
probably yeah, because like I think the

352
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:34.240
longest one week, a few days. But then at a certain point,

353
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:38.480
I'm like, Okay, you realize
I did nothing wrong. Your perception of

354
00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:44.680
me and your dream was what the
one you're subconscious thinks that I might do

355
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:45.359
this at some point. I don't
know how it works, but like,

356
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:48.039
I didn't do anything wrong. Do
you want to do dinner tonight? Where

357
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:49.599
do you want to do dinner?
And like, I don't know if I

358
00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:52.559
can make that. Still I'm still
a bit feels a bit off. I'm

359
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:56.440
like, all right, man,
it's it's a shame you guys broke up.

360
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:03.039
I know we were all rude for
what it seems like a good match.

361
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:08.039
Every piece of evidence along the way
pointed to Ted when you guys broke

362
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:11.759
up. I don't know why those
six times. Yeah, I don't know

363
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.920
why. Nobody. Nobody pointed out
to me that matches could never lead the

364
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:21.240
way. We could never really know, the like Seinfeld thing when it's like,

365
00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:22.720
you know, Mike would break up
and then be like, oh I

366
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.519
can finally talk about like man that
was clearly a toxic and then like,

367
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:30.200
you know, two weeks later,
so I'm back with her. It's like,

368
00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:36.759
oh cool, she's with her.
I mean, it's like, can

369
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:41.160
be more like official now. I
had a friend, a mutual someone we

370
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:45.720
worked with a game spot who dated
someone and we were all like, yeah,

371
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:48.880
they're fine, and then when they
broke up, one of my other

372
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:56.119
one of the other co workers unfriended
her. Yeah, and it was contentious

373
00:25:56.200 --> 00:26:03.200
where it was like follow her back
and you were like, no, I'm

374
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:07.839
allowed to unfollow anyone at any time. I will not be beholden to this

375
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:11.279
relationship used to work with me.
It's like the guy that I used to

376
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:15.160
work with that I had that ego
app and it would tell him whenever someone

377
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:18.319
unfollowed him, and he would walk
around the office if it was someone that

378
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:19.799
you worked with him, why did
you want follow me? You want followed

379
00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:25.559
me on Twitter? Like in the
office, I cause an issue about it.

380
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:30.160
That's one of the quickest ways to
announce to everybody in the vicinity that

381
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:36.799
you're a very insecure human being.
Oh yeah, I'm assuming we were talking

382
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:45.000
with the same person. I know
we are, Um I noticed that or

383
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:49.279
It's funny. I noticed that before
you told me that he used that app

384
00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:53.039
because I went on this like unfollowed
spree when I moved back to the East

385
00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:56.039
Coast. I was like, all
right, you know what, like I

386
00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:59.559
like a lot of these people.
It's not nothing against them. I just

387
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:03.519
really want to start using Twitter less. And yes, we'll help if I

388
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:08.359
unfollow a lot of the people that
I often talked about Twitter related stuff within

389
00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:11.559
San Francisco, so like, it's
nothing against them. Of course, that's

390
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.119
that's the logical way of thinking about
it. Of Course, emotionally, no

391
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:17.759
one, very few of them saw
it like that. And I don't blame

392
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:19.799
him. I get it at a
certain level. However, I noticed that

393
00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:23.960
this person. I forgot how I
noticed. I remember it now and we

394
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:26.160
might have already talked about this in
Fire's Gate, but we're at the New

395
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:29.759
York office and I mentioned that I
unfollowed him, and you're like, oh,

396
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:30.920
you know, he has like he
used to use this app. I

397
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:33.960
wonder if he still does. And
I looked at his profile and he had

398
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:37.279
unfollowed me. I was like,
yeah, it's like an immediate thing.

399
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:41.400
Yeah, yeah, not just insecure, but also petty Dad can he bake

400
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:49.359
a nice pie? He can fall
from six thousand feet and not get any

401
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:56.400
water up his ass, but it's
a huge dick on Twitter and to save

402
00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:02.440
his life, but Dan, can
he install him a day we're talking.

403
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.680
I've had those experiences before, and
I think they're always like really gratifying though

404
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:14.160
too. When you unfollow someone for
personal reasons or for mental health reasons,

405
00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:15.839
whatever reason, you don't really need
a reason. You can just do it

406
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:23.880
because it's not real life and it's
okay, And the immediate like retract unfollowed

407
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:26.039
to me is like, I mean, I don't care. Those things are

408
00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:30.680
not valuable to me. But the
fact that it was an exchange in the

409
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:36.000
first place only validates that it probably
wasn't a good exchange. Because the people

410
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:40.000
I follow, I follow because I
hope they say something interesting. I've done

411
00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:42.039
the thing where there's the awkward like
I unfollowed them and they unfollowed me,

412
00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:44.720
and like, you know, we
didn't talk for years or whatever, but

413
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:47.039
then like, oh, you run
into them at an event, you know,

414
00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:48.119
like three four years later, and
you wonder, oh, is this

415
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:52.279
going to be weird? But it's
gonna be a conversation with them and then

416
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:53.359
it's like okay, and then you
follow each other games like Okay, I

417
00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:56.160
guess we all we just grew up, and you know, yeah, it's

418
00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:00.559
kind of good. But you can
also not grow up or like have any

419
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:03.880
growth at all. You can also
be in a better place in your life.

420
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:07.519
You're like, oh, I'm ready
to see your messages again. Right

421
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:11.640
then, I'm ready to see your
stuff. I've unfollowed people before because they

422
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:14.960
like worked for a company that like
had nothing to do with games media,

423
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:18.680
and I really associate my Twitter with
games media. So if you're like I've

424
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:22.359
decided to work in the steel mill, I might not follow you anymore because

425
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:26.079
your tweets will no longer be relevant
to me. Right, yeah, that's

426
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.240
fair, and that's it's like a
business transaction. But person the grocery store

427
00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:33.319
wouldn't be a weird thing. No, and unless they made it a weird

428
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:36.799
thing. And then if they if
I saw them at E three and they

429
00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:41.160
were like huh E three rip and
they were like yeah, you know,

430
00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:44.400
I'm getting back into it or I'm
playing Zelda now, I'd be like,

431
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:47.480
all right, I'll refollow you because
you still have something that is of interest

432
00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:48.920
to me. But it's like,
it's not personal. It's not because like

433
00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:52.799
I was a child or mad at
them. It was a transactional thing,

434
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:57.000
and I think we forget that the
Internet is very transactional. So it's okay

435
00:29:57.079 --> 00:30:02.359
to like let it go at the
very least mute for your health. I

436
00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:04.960
mute so many people when I'm like, I've seen too much X, I

437
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:10.559
just don't want to. Oh,
I've muted people for spoilers a bazillion times.

438
00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:15.599
If you if you ever ever ever
tweet something about a TV show and

439
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:18.240
I haven't seen it yet, I
just I just mute you immediately. I

440
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:19.839
never looked back. I have a
big list of muted words, so I

441
00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:22.079
don't see any of that. But
then I just I literally muted everyone.

442
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:30.359
I have both of you muted,
Like literally everyone on Twitter is muted.

443
00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:34.480
For you to say that you muted, no, I'm literally saying every single

444
00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:38.680
person on Twitter that I follow I
have muted. I'm not kidding. So

445
00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:45.119
it's so what do you go on
to Twitter? Four? So I have

446
00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:47.960
to like have a reason to go
on, like I didn't want to just

447
00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:51.799
like news. So yeah, for
instance, like I put everyone into little

448
00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:53.599
buckets, like you guys are in
like the gaming and close friends, but

449
00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:57.519
it compartmentalize me. Man, I
put you in close friends you have,

450
00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:02.160
you should also put me in the
list, all right, So, and

451
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:03.480
I have like a wrestling one,
so if something crazy is going on and

452
00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:07.759
wrestling, some big news broke or
whatever, I can go to my wrestling

453
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:11.720
list and I can see what wrestling
people are saying. Or I literally never

454
00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:15.319
go to the gaming one. I
just don't care. Gaming Twitter has always

455
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:18.519
been the fucking worst, So I
don't know what anyone in gaming Twitter said

456
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:22.279
for like six months. You guys
occasionally see because you're in my close friends

457
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:22.440
one, and every once in a
while I'll be like, oh, I

458
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:26.279
wonder what's going on with my close
friends And that's a short scroll because there's

459
00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:29.079
only full of people in there.
So yeah, it's it's great, But

460
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:32.680
yes, you're both absolutely yeah,
I'm I'm. We talked about this a

461
00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:37.599
lot. I'm to the point really
where I almost don't go on Twitter ever.

462
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:44.200
Twitter has really become for work.
It helps for new stuff at work.

463
00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:48.319
I'm I'm not always on news stories
at work or even like ever,

464
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.079
but at that point I don't need
to be signed in to see that stuff.

465
00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:56.640
I mean, if something's important,
like I will see tweets allthing,

466
00:31:56.720 --> 00:31:59.519
like I'm in discords, I check
my discords, and like if something crazy

467
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:01.880
happens or someone tweets something super stupid
or super funny or something like, I

468
00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:06.119
will see it surface somewhere, so
like I'll follow a link and see it.

469
00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:09.279
It's just like it's never the scroll, you know. Yeah, but

470
00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:16.559
yeah, I am just like markedly
more content. Yeah all the time.

471
00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:21.400
Not all the time at all,
like during the day, but most of

472
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:25.400
the time I'm content because I'm not
going on all this. But there's so

473
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:34.680
many reasons that Twitter has become way
less valuable to me. I think some

474
00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:38.680
of it is my job now where
in many ways because of my role is

475
00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:45.960
to listen to streamers and help advocate
on their behalf, there's a bit of

476
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:50.799
a floodgate of like issues or problems
or things to work on and fix that

477
00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:54.599
can be overwhelming over time, and
I need to turn it down and turn

478
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:59.559
it off sometimes so I can refilm
my cup because I would never want to

479
00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:04.680
listen to someone's complaint and think to
myself like who cares? Right, Like

480
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:07.839
I want to always receive those things
with empathy and with care, so I

481
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:10.960
would rather not receive them at all
if I am not in a good mindset

482
00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:16.160
for it. So I have these
times where I can't really receive Twitter anymore.

483
00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:21.440
But in addition to my work of
how much I can take in,

484
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:28.160
I also used it just for enjoyable
camaraderie of people in the industry. And

485
00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:34.319
now because this stupid check mark situation. Every time someone tweets something like interesting,

486
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:37.400
and I use the word interesting because
it doesn't mean it's right. It

487
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:39.079
doesn't mean it's wrong. What it
means is is it has a lot of

488
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:45.200
responses because what they've said is something
that makes you want to be involved,

489
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:51.279
and then you click on the responses
to see what dialogue this like interesting post

490
00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:55.720
has stated, and all the nuanced
responses and all the check mark responses that

491
00:33:55.799 --> 00:34:01.359
are surfaced to the top are just
arbage and most of the time extremely hostile

492
00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:06.759
and sometimes like just dressful and scary
about like what a piece of shit that

493
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:09.599
person is or how they like suck, and it's just like, this isn't

494
00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:15.039
the kind of discourse that I came
here for. I really liked following you

495
00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:19.679
because when you tweeted something kind of
like crazy and weird. A bunch of

496
00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:22.519
people will be like that's our dan, or like that's a really weird thing

497
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:25.239
to say, and let me dispute
it. That's so much more interesting than

498
00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:29.719
seeing a bunch of people say that
they don't like you or that they don't

499
00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:31.320
believe you. And it's just like, I don't I don't want to hear

500
00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:35.320
that that type of discussion, and
I didn't sign up for that discussion.

501
00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:37.400
So I've just completely phased out of
Twitter. Well, it just seems like

502
00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:42.400
it's just a total misunderstanding what the
fucking barrication was supposed to be for in

503
00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:46.079
the first place. You know,
it's it's weird seeing like a very public

504
00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:49.800
figure or whatever and you go to
their page and there's no check mark,

505
00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:52.199
because that used to be like,
Okay, that's really them, and now

506
00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:53.320
you can see it and it's like, I don't know, maybe is this

507
00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:58.760
a parody account that got a bunch
of fucking followers? Like I don't just

508
00:34:59.280 --> 00:35:07.840
ruin that whole syste completely. It's
so weird that there was a system where

509
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:12.400
you would get a blue check marks
that people knew that you were either an

510
00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:17.039
important person or historical figure, or
maybe you worked for a company and then

511
00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:21.760
kind of dissolve that concept. So
now that a blue check mark is almost

512
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:24.519
like a weird sign of stress to
me, Like when I see it,

513
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:29.880
I question whether or not yeah,
I want to interact with that person.

514
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:37.239
So it's it's really done the opposite
of its intention, and damn, what

515
00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:40.119
a bad call. Let it burn. Let the whole fucking thing burns.

516
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:44.599
But there needs to be some kind
of backup. I think, I think

517
00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:46.119
what I would say. I don't
know if everyone would agree with me,

518
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:52.280
but my opinion on this is is
having a space where people can freely exchange

519
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:55.480
ideas in an open forum tightly,
insistinctly, and I think that's important because

520
00:35:55.480 --> 00:36:00.679
like we can all fuck have blogs, but like a tight message to just

521
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:07.159
say, you know, it's my
birthday. I do have the runs,

522
00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:12.400
but I'm gonna make the best of
it. Having everyone respond in real time

523
00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:22.320
and say we root for you is
meaningful in real time. That's just telling

524
00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:30.360
someone you have diarrhea and then saying
that my birthday and so it's my should

525
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:32.760
I tweet? I tweet from the
fire Escape account it's my birthday, but

526
00:36:32.840 --> 00:36:36.920
I have the runs, but I'm
gonna make the best of it. Yeah,

527
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:39.320
no, just say it's my birthday
but I have the runs. Yeah

528
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:46.119
you should do that. Um oh
hear it. Yeah, now this is

529
00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:52.199
what I go on Twitter for.
The thing that's frustrating is like I do

530
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:55.159
still. I don't know if I'm
just naive. He did tweet go up.

531
00:36:58.599 --> 00:37:05.119
It's so stupid. You've put a
period at the end. Its period.

532
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:07.760
It's a sentence. You guys get
mad at me when I don't have

533
00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:12.719
grammar in my tweets. You get
mad at me, both of you.

534
00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:16.360
It's it's just funny that like you
you you closed off that thought with a

535
00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:20.679
period. I don't know. I
wanted to say, but I'm gonna make

536
00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:30.440
the most of it, but I
was told ended like nope, okay,

537
00:37:29.239 --> 00:37:34.079
now say this will make sense in
a week for people. It's uh,

538
00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:37.639
I don't know if it's being naive, but I feel the same way Mary

539
00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:40.280
in terms of like I do I
like the idea of something like Twitter,

540
00:37:40.280 --> 00:37:44.679
if it just wasn't so shitty like
and so like blue Sky, like I

541
00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:46.719
hear about that, imagine non shitty
Twitter exactly. And so it's like,

542
00:37:46.719 --> 00:37:51.920
even though I actively hate Twitter and
have tried to like remove it from my

543
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:53.960
life. I think about like when
I when I see something like blue Sky

544
00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:55.840
and people are like, man,
it's really good, it seems all right,

545
00:37:55.880 --> 00:37:59.360
and I have that part of my
brain it's like I need to get

546
00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:00.320
an invite? Who I know,
how do I get invites? This thing

547
00:38:01.039 --> 00:38:05.480
is being naive, Like it's just
going to turn into the same thing these

548
00:38:05.480 --> 00:38:10.159
people are going to. I'm not
saying like Elon and even like Dorsey did

549
00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:15.239
not have a hand in what Twitter
became. However, at the end of

550
00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:19.719
the day, these people who think
blue Sky in five years will be any

551
00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:23.199
different are dumb asses. Yeah,
you're probably right. I mean, it's

552
00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:28.760
going to it's context collapse is going
to happen in this forum. That's not

553
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:31.280
like it's going to happen. That's
what happened with Facebook. When the news

554
00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:36.280
feed was introduced. You no longer
were just seeing your friends interactions. You

555
00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:40.400
were seeing an interaction that someone had
with someone you're not friends with, so

556
00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:45.239
then you become them. But then
you're like, there's no useful context within

557
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:49.920
different groups. It's not to say
that like a shared forum is not useful,

558
00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:54.000
but now it's just going to amplify
the same kinds of thoughts that Twitter

559
00:38:54.119 --> 00:38:59.280
is right now, maybe it won't. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't think

560
00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:02.519
I know A fresh slate would be
good for humanity. You know, sometimes

561
00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:07.400
you just gotta like wipe it and
start again, you know, just like

562
00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:12.519
when you have the runs. I
think you have to like really think you

563
00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:16.159
got you gotta like start fresh with
a clean slate. And I think that

564
00:39:16.159 --> 00:39:22.360
that really does re establish us as
humanity. When I think of Twitter now,

565
00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:25.920
I think of it as a place
to complain in real time when your

566
00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:30.320
flight is delayed, so that you
can at Alaska and be like, you've

567
00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:34.519
fucked up at Alaska? What are
you going to do? And that's not

568
00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:37.320
what I want that they have a
whole system to fix people's there's a whole

569
00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:40.440
system for that. Lead don't leave
that, don't put that here. This

570
00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:45.760
should be a place where you express
your thoughts about your life and in real

571
00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:49.880
time people can react with you.
One of my favorite use cases of Twitter

572
00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:52.519
is when this is not a positive
one, but when there's an earthquake and

573
00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:57.320
I see in real time a bunch
of people all saying there's a fucking earthquake,

574
00:39:57.400 --> 00:39:59.599
isn't there? And everybody in real
time is like, yep, I

575
00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:01.159
just felt, Oh my god,
I just checked it. It's a it's

576
00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:05.920
a two point nine. Oh yeah, like this book just felt And He's

577
00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:08.880
like, you get to see all
these different things interacting with people at the

578
00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:13.440
time that it's happening, and that
is fascinating too, but that also goes

579
00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:16.320
in the bad place to where like, Okay, there's a mass shooting or

580
00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:21.679
there's some awful thing that happens,
and then it's like that immediacy just leads

581
00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:25.039
to so much misinformation and confusion and
conspiracy theories and all sorts of ship Like

582
00:40:25.159 --> 00:40:28.960
an earthquake. Sure, that's you
know, innocent, you know, there's

583
00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:31.119
no one to fault there, but
like when there's actual like shit going down,

584
00:40:31.320 --> 00:40:35.159
it's like a boy, somebody tweets, I'm like, this is the

585
00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:37.440
suspect, but it's the wrong picture, and now that person's everyone's finding this

586
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:42.760
person's Facebook, and it's just it's
that turns into a clusterfuck so fucking fast.

587
00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:46.119
It's um, I'm actually reading a
book that I think both you would

588
00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:53.400
find fascinating or maybe you've started reading
it. Traffic by the Drug that made

589
00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:58.880
the movie the one where all those
scenes in America are in blue and all

590
00:40:58.920 --> 00:41:05.519
these scenes and Texas Mexico Orange because
we just wanted to make sure you knew.

591
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:09.119
Yeah, no, it's it's traffic
colin genius, rivalry and delusion in

592
00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:16.360
the billion dollars Race to Go viral
by Ben Smith. Traffic. If you

593
00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:20.280
look up traffic Ben Smith, you'll
find it. He was this Smith.

594
00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:22.480
He was editor in chief of BuzzFeed
News, among other things for a while.

595
00:41:23.119 --> 00:41:30.239
I'm very curious. It's largely about
how BuzzFeed sites like BuzzFeed started,

596
00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:34.239
and then how BuzzFeed News came up, and why BuzzFeed well, as a

597
00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:37.800
very recently, why BuzzFeed News didn't
work um or rather didn't work in the

598
00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:43.079
eyes of the people who owned it. But it's just largely how modern digital

599
00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:49.599
media that chases traffic became this thing, and why it's not sustainable. It's

600
00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:53.760
it's there are parts of it I'm
like, I think you're missing the point,

601
00:41:54.320 --> 00:41:59.320
but other parts that are definitely hit
close to home, like, yeah,

602
00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:02.119
I heard it time to be an
online media. Yeah, yeah,

603
00:42:02.320 --> 00:42:07.679
for there's never been a better time. The wider landscape scary for sure.

604
00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:14.800
I'm glad I'm at Polygon personally,
like we're doing well. Um but it's

605
00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:20.360
definitely like it's a weird time for
a lot of people. M hmm,

606
00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:24.119
yeah, yes it is. It
is a weird time. But yeah,

607
00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:30.280
re traffic if you're time to be
alive. I was in uh Memphis because

608
00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:34.519
I told you guys, I went
to Saint Jude and um, I had

609
00:42:34.559 --> 00:42:38.239
to tell you guys this. Did
you guys know that Memphis has a giant

610
00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:46.239
pyramid that is uh it's like one
of those like places where you get shooting

611
00:42:46.679 --> 00:42:51.519
stuff, Beast Pro Shop. It's
based it's a giant bass pro shop,

612
00:42:51.559 --> 00:42:53.719
but it's a it's a oh yeah, yeah, yeah, the third biggest

613
00:42:53.760 --> 00:42:58.400
pyramid in the world supposedly, but
it's a it's a bass Pro shop.

614
00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:00.119
Didn't it used to be a venue? Look, I think they used to

615
00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:05.920
be wrestling shows. They're used it
would have actually been a great wrestling venue.

616
00:43:06.039 --> 00:43:10.119
It is saw real as a bass
Pro shop because you walk in it

617
00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:17.159
and it's fucking gorgeous, like all
this wood to make these like beautiful sculptures

618
00:43:17.159 --> 00:43:20.519
and there's like all these animals on
the wall. Like you're going into some

619
00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:25.960
outrageous rich person's mansion who goes hunting
for living and you know, probably gonna

620
00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:29.880
like, you know, set you
out to pasture and hunt you down.

621
00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:36.360
And then when you walk into the
main area, it's a legit uh would

622
00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:38.960
you call it like a not a
pond, but like a buyou or whatever.

623
00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:45.559
And it has legit fish in it
and crocodiles okay, no, no

624
00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:52.760
in the yeah, in the environment. And they're like they're in the area

625
00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:54.440
where you would like get on the
elevator. They can't get you, but

626
00:43:54.519 --> 00:44:01.800
like all glass in case, they're
just there. And you're walking around in

627
00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:07.559
a bass pro shop. There's a
bowling alley, three restaurants. Oh my

628
00:44:07.639 --> 00:44:12.159
god, I'm looking at a picture
that goes up to the top for review.

629
00:44:13.880 --> 00:44:19.320
This looks insane. Wikipedia picture.
This is a huge it's fucking insane.

630
00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:22.440
I think we should have our reunion
here. They should set the next

631
00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:27.360
assassins Creed in Memphis. It's so
it's so fucking crazy. Dan, I

632
00:44:28.239 --> 00:44:32.360
couldn't rent my mind around what happened. And like basically, like this was

633
00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:37.880
their big center where they had sports
games, and then they built a bigger

634
00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:39.880
sports game stadium, and so it
was like, what do you do with

635
00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:44.679
a sports game stadium when you have
a bigger, better, newer sports game

636
00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:47.199
stadium, and it stayed vacant for
years and then bass Pro is like,

637
00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:52.400
we'll put fucking gators in there,
and they did. Yeah, twenty ten

638
00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:55.159
is after five years in negotiating the
bass Pro shops in the city Memphis signed

639
00:44:55.159 --> 00:44:58.880
the agreement. Yeah, but it
used to be like Lennox Lewis versus Mike

640
00:44:58.880 --> 00:45:02.159
Tyson was there, debit, Saint
Valentine's Day masker there, like Tyson von

641
00:45:02.280 --> 00:45:07.519
there. And now there's Crocs by
the elevator. It's the craziest place and

642
00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:10.119
it has it's a massive shop.
You can buy all sorts of stuff.

643
00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:14.639
You can buy guns. We checked
out the gun safes just in case.

644
00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:19.239
All the gun racks as you know, gifts. There's an archery range,

645
00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:22.039
a shooting range in a laser oka. There's a bowling alley, a saltwater

646
00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:29.239
aquarium. Wow, the tallest freestanding
elevator in America. Yes, holy shit,

647
00:45:29.880 --> 00:45:36.199
restaurant bar, multiple restaurants, six
hundred thousand gallons of water. You

648
00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:40.880
can buy an ATV, theream zip
line or they're considering adding a zip line

649
00:45:40.880 --> 00:45:45.840
in the second hotel to the pyramid. Holy shit, second hotel. That's

650
00:45:46.119 --> 00:45:50.760
it. Yeah, you can spend
the night man are runt of the luxe

651
00:45:50.840 --> 00:45:54.360
Or Vegas. I think it's an
e sports arena now. The luxe Or

652
00:45:54.599 --> 00:45:59.320
is a really interesting concept because it
was made back in the day. Maybe

653
00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:01.400
you can google it, but like
lux Or was made. My dad used

654
00:46:01.400 --> 00:46:05.000
to tell me all this cool stuff
because my dad was a big Vegas person

655
00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:09.119
as an adult, so like probably
my age to where he is now,

656
00:46:09.639 --> 00:46:15.400
he went to Vegas every year.
That person as an adults a child,

657
00:46:15.480 --> 00:46:20.480
I just couldn't stops it really into
it. As a child is an adult,

658
00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:23.000
there's nothing to do. As a
kid in Vegas, it's probably boring,

659
00:46:23.079 --> 00:46:25.159
but like as an adult, there's
all this shit to do. He

660
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:28.920
told me about the luxe Or and
he said it's one of the most fascinating

661
00:46:29.719 --> 00:46:34.639
building creations ever because the whole concept, right was pyramid pyramid pyramid. So

662
00:46:34.760 --> 00:46:38.719
to design it in such a way
where the inside is completely empty and all

663
00:46:38.760 --> 00:46:44.639
the edges are the rooms, it's
a huge feat of engineering that had never

664
00:46:44.679 --> 00:46:47.039
been done before. And when they
finished it and they were like, we

665
00:46:47.199 --> 00:46:50.960
did it. Look at all of
our good job, and they like had

666
00:46:50.960 --> 00:46:54.119
the public everyone was complaining because when
you flushed the toilet all the pipes went

667
00:46:54.159 --> 00:46:59.519
in between the rooms, so you
could hear all the p like going in

668
00:46:59.559 --> 00:47:02.840
between the walls. What's to doing
in a normal hotel? Uh, it

669
00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:06.800
goes down, Yeah, but I
mean it's got to go past all the

670
00:47:06.840 --> 00:47:10.840
room and be Amanda in the room. We're gonna sound dumb. She understands

671
00:47:10.880 --> 00:47:15.239
buildings. Get an engineer in here. I believe there's like specific um like

672
00:47:16.440 --> 00:47:22.559
up together and then they're insulated and
it's not like just surrounding. Well,

673
00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:24.480
okay, you know there's the whole
mystery of like how they built the pyramids

674
00:47:24.519 --> 00:47:29.280
back in the day and like,
but now we've built pyramids in Memphis in

675
00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:32.039
Vegas, like we should know take
that Egyptian No, no, no,

676
00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:36.000
no, no, it's because we
have modern machines and shit they had tons

677
00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:39.400
and like they had a lot of
slaves. Yeah, pay similar concepts though,

678
00:47:39.519 --> 00:47:46.000
like mechanics, I mean the actual
levers and pulleys like no that,

679
00:47:46.079 --> 00:47:52.239
I mean they'd use machines to do
it in like with nowhere near as many

680
00:47:52.440 --> 00:47:57.159
people, and they pay those people. It was yeah, I mean it

681
00:47:57.239 --> 00:48:00.760
was harder, but it was the
same, right, But did they did

682
00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:04.760
not know how the pyramids were built? I don't know, Like does humanity

683
00:48:04.840 --> 00:48:08.199
still not know how the pyramids were
built? From my understanding, we admit

684
00:48:08.280 --> 00:48:14.719
it's a it is a huge feet
of engineering, but it's largely because they

685
00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:21.440
had many many slaves died who they
worked non stop doing. Yeah, blocks

686
00:48:21.519 --> 00:48:24.519
up there, Jesus. But yeah, they were using they were using stuff

687
00:48:24.559 --> 00:48:28.280
like I'm fairly I don't know if
they were the ones that figured out but

688
00:48:28.320 --> 00:48:31.920
to move those giant I think it's
limestone from the court pharaohs were taking a

689
00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:37.440
shit. Everyone could hear it,
and that's what we learned. Did the

690
00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:39.000
pharaohs, like I know, chamber
pots were a thing back in the day,

691
00:48:39.039 --> 00:48:44.119
but like, did pharaohs and stuff
have like a fancier like shitting receptacle

692
00:48:44.159 --> 00:48:46.199
that they didn't have to like have
sit in their room. I don't know.

693
00:48:47.000 --> 00:48:52.000
Now that I think of it,
I'm putting the connection together that there's

694
00:48:52.039 --> 00:48:55.840
a pyramid building in Memphis, Tennessee, which presumed it is named after Memphis,

695
00:48:55.840 --> 00:49:00.840
Egypt in ancient Egypt. In ancient
Egypt, it was a pretty big

696
00:49:01.119 --> 00:49:06.400
it was that was like a tributary
of the Nile. It was a big

697
00:49:06.960 --> 00:49:09.519
it was a big city on the
Nile. But I don't know if there's

698
00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:14.719
any connection with the Best Pro Shop
in Memphis, Tennessee. Is there Bass

699
00:49:14.719 --> 00:49:22.880
Pro Shop in Egypt. The thing
is is once the pyramid has been abandoned

700
00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:29.480
for a certain amount of time,
they will replace it with the Bass Pro

701
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:34.159
Shop, and they takes about five
years to negotiate, but the Bass Pro

702
00:49:34.239 --> 00:49:40.039
Shop will eventually take over every major
building, the pyramids in Egypt. This

703
00:49:40.800 --> 00:49:45.679
I realized how little I know about
Egypt, because like I always assumed when

704
00:49:45.719 --> 00:49:49.000
you hear about ancient Egypt and the
pharaohs and the pyramids, it was like

705
00:49:49.039 --> 00:49:52.360
millions of years ago. But then
it's like I played that Assassin's Creed and

706
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:55.320
there's like fucking Roman statues and stuff
there. And so it was this like

707
00:49:55.559 --> 00:49:59.599
was this during like the Renaissance that
the pyramids were built or is that like

708
00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:02.360
the timeline. I don't fucking understand
that the Renaissance would have been way after

709
00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:08.159
they had like the paper press back
then, like Egyptians were like carven shit

710
00:50:08.280 --> 00:50:12.400
in the walls. They were the
Egyptians like Jesus times, like two thousand

711
00:50:12.480 --> 00:50:15.760
years. Well, so the Roman
Empire, the Roman Empire came over to

712
00:50:16.280 --> 00:50:22.920
Libya, took over Libya Libya from
understanding was passed back and forth by Roman

713
00:50:22.000 --> 00:50:27.639
and Greek imperialists. When you say
the Roman Empire, do you mean like

714
00:50:27.679 --> 00:50:31.760
Caesar? Is that? Yeah,
Julius Caesar and Cleopatra, we're hooking up,

715
00:50:32.239 --> 00:50:35.920
dude. I seriously, every time
I hear Cleopatra, I think it's

716
00:50:35.960 --> 00:50:38.119
the snake hair lady. And I
was like, wait, you Satra like

717
00:50:38.280 --> 00:50:42.039
the historical figures. She's like,
I got a war boss. I forget.

718
00:50:42.079 --> 00:50:46.480
It's two different things and clasp fake. Cleopatra's an actual historical person,

719
00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:53.119
right, correct, And no snake
nona. Although Cleopatra has been widely mythologized

720
00:50:53.119 --> 00:50:58.320
as like the most beautiful woman ever
and that she would what do you want

721
00:50:58.320 --> 00:51:01.400
to say? What's the famous thing? There's this launch thus ships. Right,

722
00:51:01.760 --> 00:51:06.920
No, there was this myth that
that was that's Helen of Troy or

723
00:51:06.920 --> 00:51:08.840
whatever. Right, oh right,
Yeah, there was a myth that Cleopatra

724
00:51:08.960 --> 00:51:13.440
would like offer men the chance to
sleep with her, but the caveat being

725
00:51:13.599 --> 00:51:16.400
they had to get executed in the
morning if they did. But I think

726
00:51:16.400 --> 00:51:22.519
that's been disproven. Oh okay,
but I like that it's a hot man.

727
00:51:23.800 --> 00:51:28.000
It's very praying mantis. Yeah,
like, come, you get it,

728
00:51:28.079 --> 00:51:30.639
but I will kill you. Clip. And then there's still a line

729
00:51:30.960 --> 00:51:35.079
and there's this all these people who
want to die. Clip. Patra's so

730
00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:40.599
hot. That's hot. I don't
know it. Kill me in the morning,

731
00:51:40.599 --> 00:51:46.239
clip, Patra are hot? Did
she run? She got exiled for

732
00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:53.079
a while because her brother or cousin
Tolemmy the Second took over. There's like

733
00:51:53.079 --> 00:51:55.559
a coup and then she was exiled, but she came back and reunited.

734
00:51:55.559 --> 00:52:06.400
Shit about female leaders, like was
Egypt like progressive a recent episode? We

735
00:52:06.440 --> 00:52:08.599
are never understand what's going on there. If people wanted to know whether I

736
00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:12.679
read corrections, here's proof because I
remember someone telling me. I think it

737
00:52:12.719 --> 00:52:17.159
was told me, told me the
second. I don't know. Yeah,

738
00:52:16.480 --> 00:52:22.280
um, I've read a lot about
like every day Egyptian life, their practices

739
00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:28.519
and stuff. But it's like the
you know, like what would the succession

740
00:52:29.239 --> 00:52:36.000
of ancient Cleopatra was Shiv? No, Cleopatra was more Cleopatra would have been

741
00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:39.800
more like logan logan o yeah,
and then but told me the second would

742
00:52:39.800 --> 00:52:45.079
have been Roman. Who's the kindle
of ancient Egypt? Julius Caesar, what

743
00:52:45.159 --> 00:52:50.159
does he have to do with Egypt? Cleopatra. Where, Yes, Roman,

744
00:52:50.800 --> 00:52:52.320
Rome, Egypt and Greece. Aul, how is he getting down there?

745
00:52:52.440 --> 00:52:58.199
There? Weren't planes or ships?
Don't take like years, wouldn't it?

746
00:52:58.519 --> 00:53:04.159
No, it's not that far then
the Roman Empire, it's across the

747
00:53:04.199 --> 00:53:07.079
Mediterranean Sea. If you told me
they were like ten thousand miles away,

748
00:53:07.079 --> 00:53:14.440
I would have I would have believed
you. No, not nearly Europe,

749
00:53:15.519 --> 00:53:21.960
right, But Rome Italy was like
Roman Empire stretched, was vast and it

750
00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:24.000
went all the way down to the
Mediterranean Sea. Wait, so the Roman

751
00:53:24.000 --> 00:53:30.000
Empire was that outside of Italy too. Yes, Roman Empire is different than

752
00:53:30.119 --> 00:53:37.159
Rome today although many like Rome.
Italy the capital today was the site of

753
00:53:37.920 --> 00:53:39.199
is the site of many Roman rules
because it was part of the Roman Empire.

754
00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:44.719
Roman Empire was like all he was
trying to like they wanted. They

755
00:53:44.800 --> 00:53:49.679
were everywhere in your Did Rome like
own England back then? Uh? Yeah,

756
00:53:49.760 --> 00:53:52.239
Romans in England That's what they owned
it. Like so Caesar like made

757
00:53:52.320 --> 00:53:54.840
England law. No, Caesar would
have been I don't know when Caesar would

758
00:53:54.840 --> 00:54:00.480
have been. Um, but like
Rome had a heavy hand in Hadrian's Wall,

759
00:54:00.480 --> 00:54:04.320
thank you. Hadrian's Wall was the
Roman thing that they built to keep

760
00:54:04.320 --> 00:54:09.000
out the visigoths, barbarians and as
they called them. Um, you've seen

761
00:54:09.000 --> 00:54:15.840
the movie King Arthur with Clive Owen. It's about movies. That was sick.

762
00:54:15.119 --> 00:54:20.079
Matts Michelson is a bird that he
sends out to attack people that life.

763
00:54:21.039 --> 00:54:22.519
No, I don't think Tristan was
a real person. You just didn't

764
00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:28.400
know. Does Matt Michelson's do that
even hotter? If he did, he's

765
00:54:28.440 --> 00:54:37.800
already pretty sick. He's hot hot. You can kill me and Cleopatra.

766
00:54:37.119 --> 00:54:40.960
I've watched Matt's Michelson Cleopatra bang and
then kill me in the morning and be

767
00:54:42.039 --> 00:54:49.159
worth it. That's hot, you
guys want to I'm looking forward to the

768
00:54:49.199 --> 00:54:55.559
corrections. I look forward to definitely
Tatra. I'm sure I was having an

769
00:54:55.599 --> 00:54:59.840
intense deja vu before I realize,
oh, this isn't deja vu. This

770
00:55:00.039 --> 00:55:04.199
happened. It probably also happened like
six times like me, and you will

771
00:55:04.239 --> 00:55:07.360
be right back to Cleopatra in like
three episodes, I'm sure, because she's

772
00:55:07.400 --> 00:55:13.840
hot. Pictures of Cleopatra. Yeah, uh, well that's what I was

773
00:55:13.880 --> 00:55:20.599
gonna say. So they like they
did that historical record reconstruction of what she

774
00:55:20.719 --> 00:55:23.440
actually would have looked like. I
don't know how they do it. I

775
00:55:23.480 --> 00:55:28.960
think it's like an amalgamation of what
a lot of people in that part of

776
00:55:29.000 --> 00:55:32.000
the world in that time period would
have looked like Inde, I I don't

777
00:55:32.039 --> 00:55:37.519
want to be. Everybody's beautiful in
their own way, but this woman they

778
00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:43.599
reconstructed was not the woman you've seen
in like paintings and fictionalization and whatnot.

779
00:55:44.039 --> 00:55:46.800
It's it's fucked up when you see
pictures of people that you think there shouldn't

780
00:55:46.800 --> 00:55:50.559
be pictures of, Like like you
see like a picture of Abraham Lincoln,

781
00:55:50.800 --> 00:55:52.679
like not a painting, Like there
are just pictures of Lincoln, And I'm

782
00:55:52.679 --> 00:55:58.119
saying, how the fuck, Like
there's there shouldn't have been cameras. That's

783
00:55:58.119 --> 00:56:04.159
a whole movie with it. It's
about the vampire vampire killer. I'm talking

784
00:56:04.199 --> 00:56:10.679
about Lincoln the movie. There was
Abraham Lincoln, vampire Hunter. Jeremy Strong

785
00:56:10.840 --> 00:56:15.000
is in Lincoln. Yeah, who
was he in Lincoln? It's like his

786
00:56:15.400 --> 00:56:19.000
No, it's like his assistant or
something, because remember in that big I

787
00:56:19.000 --> 00:56:21.880
can't remember his vandy a pair of
gqu or what they interviewed him about.

788
00:56:21.880 --> 00:56:24.800
What a psycho he is? Oh, I guess he probably like fucking lived

789
00:56:24.800 --> 00:56:28.159
in the eighteen hundreds for a year
to get ready for that role or something

790
00:56:28.239 --> 00:56:30.239
like. I don't know, like
that was his first like big breakthrough thing.

791
00:56:30.239 --> 00:56:32.960
I think Daniel da Lewis was like
his big idol and everything, so

792
00:56:34.000 --> 00:56:37.320
that was a deal for him.
So I remember they interviewed um, Brian

793
00:56:37.400 --> 00:56:40.000
Cox for that was in New Yorker
profile Yes, where Brian Cox is just

794
00:56:40.000 --> 00:56:45.840
like, yeah, well so does
he. I think he came across that

795
00:56:45.880 --> 00:56:49.599
he likes him on on like a
friendly level emotional level. But the quotes

796
00:56:49.599 --> 00:56:52.280
he was saying, he's like,
yeah, I'm a bit worried about him.

797
00:56:52.519 --> 00:56:57.639
Yeah, I don't really drive with
that stuff. They're like the I

798
00:56:57.719 --> 00:57:00.280
forgot how they phrase it. The
writer, I gotta look at again,

799
00:57:00.280 --> 00:57:06.079
but the writers like they had.
When asked how he has such good performances

800
00:57:06.199 --> 00:57:09.920
without taking baggage home with him after
works over, he responded, I'm an

801
00:57:09.920 --> 00:57:15.519
actor. It's the job that really
just pretend to be a guy and be

802
00:57:15.519 --> 00:57:17.440
good at it. Yeah. No, no, no, Bryan Cox was

803
00:57:17.480 --> 00:57:22.559
saying, Oh, say that's my
job. They're like, hey, you're

804
00:57:22.679 --> 00:57:24.719
on Broadway, like you you've won
some major awards. How do you not

805
00:57:24.800 --> 00:57:28.199
take it? Home. He's like, I'm an actor. That's what we

806
00:57:28.400 --> 00:57:31.400
do, That's why I'm supposed to
work. Um. I've learned that I

807
00:57:31.480 --> 00:57:36.000
really need to meet Karen Culkin.
Um. I've heard from several people that

808
00:57:37.159 --> 00:57:39.280
I haven't seen it, but I
heard he just talks about wrestling and plays

809
00:57:39.639 --> 00:57:43.280
you can be ticon and punch out, and I feel like I would get

810
00:57:43.320 --> 00:57:45.119
along with Karen. Oh, he
goes. He starts going on a tangent

811
00:57:45.119 --> 00:57:50.760
about how you need to play it
on a did you talk about crtvs?

812
00:57:50.760 --> 00:57:52.360
Like the input doesn't make sense on
an HTMI? It's like it doesn't.

813
00:57:52.360 --> 00:57:57.679
Oh my god, I gotta meet
this guy, all right, He's it's

814
00:57:57.920 --> 00:58:01.280
he He's simultaneously like someone I'd love
to hang out with, but also someone

815
00:58:01.360 --> 00:58:06.400
like if he wasn't famous and I
just met in another world, if he

816
00:58:06.440 --> 00:58:08.280
wasn't famous and I just met him
at the bar, like, I would

817
00:58:08.320 --> 00:58:14.400
not like him. How much of
Roman is him? You think? Seems

818
00:58:14.440 --> 00:58:16.360
like a lot? Okay, but
but no, no, character wise,

819
00:58:16.400 --> 00:58:21.360
I don't. I think he's putting
on like a huge show. I mean,

820
00:58:21.519 --> 00:58:24.800
Roman's a nightmare. Yeah, yeah, romans possibly the worst, wouldn't

821
00:58:24.800 --> 00:58:32.679
He says he's the funniest one.
Yeah he is. Yeah, but because

822
00:58:32.679 --> 00:58:38.440
he's so bad, he is the
terrible Yeah, from the last one.

823
00:58:38.480 --> 00:58:42.159
But just like there was a rough
one for Roman, the last one.

824
00:58:42.320 --> 00:58:46.079
Yeah yeah. The the insults this
season have just devolved in him. Be

825
00:58:46.119 --> 00:58:49.440
like he'll answer from be like,
Hey, what's up? Fucking fun funck?

826
00:58:49.480 --> 00:58:52.519
What do you want? There's just
so much he can't even be clever

827
00:58:52.559 --> 00:59:02.559
with his Yeah, all right,
you guys want talking? All right?

828
00:59:02.800 --> 00:59:07.320
A bunch of games coming out or
have come out later early May. M

829
00:59:07.559 --> 00:59:13.039
hmmm, got another one on the
horizon. Oh there's another on the horizon.

830
00:59:14.079 --> 00:59:17.760
Oh it's on the horizon. Yeah, yeah, looking forward? No,

831
00:59:17.760 --> 00:59:22.599
no, are you I I don't
even know if I'm allowed to say.

832
00:59:23.119 --> 00:59:25.840
Oh I wonder, I wonder if
you are I am. Yeah,

833
00:59:25.920 --> 00:59:30.159
Yeah, that's great. I did
play well. So we we have not

834
00:59:30.199 --> 00:59:34.360
talked about Tears the Kingdom yet.
On Fire Escape, you and I did

835
00:59:34.400 --> 00:59:37.360
do that prevw together, which you
talked about Giant Bomb I wrote about in

836
00:59:37.400 --> 00:59:39.920
Polygon. What were your thoughts from
then? What do you think? For

837
00:59:40.039 --> 00:59:45.079
real? That's you guys can be
more real on here. Why don't you

838
00:59:45.079 --> 00:59:49.400
tell me what you actually think?
Now? I'm just dying because there's so

839
00:59:49.480 --> 00:59:52.679
much in this fucking head right now. But he's just gonna talk about the

840
00:59:52.679 --> 00:59:55.960
preview. He's just gonna talk.
Yes, I'm gonna talk. I'm just

841
00:59:57.000 --> 00:59:59.119
like curious what you thought of the
previo because I never talked. I loved

842
00:59:59.119 --> 01:00:02.159
it personally. I loved it.
And I heard I heard that you thought

843
01:00:02.199 --> 01:00:06.719
that the controls were kind of finnicky
with uh, you know, putting the

844
01:00:06.719 --> 01:00:09.719
stuff on, you know, stick
and stuff. Are you joking? Wait?

845
01:00:09.760 --> 01:00:14.519
I thought no. I a lot
of people on Twitter saying that,

846
01:00:14.599 --> 01:00:16.960
and I in Polygon slack was people
were asking me they were like with the

847
01:00:16.960 --> 01:00:20.840
controls, they were like, no, like Breath of the Wilds weren't great

848
01:00:20.840 --> 01:00:22.320
in the beginning either, Like I
don't know who told me. I thought

849
01:00:22.360 --> 01:00:25.400
someone told me that you thought they
were finnicky or something. Okay, well,

850
01:00:25.719 --> 01:00:29.280
no, I was going to defend
them in saying that, like I

851
01:00:29.320 --> 01:00:31.199
thought they were fine. Like it
did take a little like fiddling and stuff

852
01:00:31.239 --> 01:00:35.360
in the same way that like if
you can do the magnesias stuff, you

853
01:00:35.360 --> 01:00:37.639
know, yeah, and rotate you
know whatever, like it's not that hard.

854
01:00:38.039 --> 01:00:42.920
But I said on Giant Bomb that, like the thing is I was

855
01:00:42.960 --> 01:00:45.360
comfortable giving Breath of the Wild to
my dad because you know, he didn't

856
01:00:45.840 --> 01:00:50.199
but he doesn't really play games.
But I figure it's it's so open and

857
01:00:50.199 --> 01:00:52.440
you can just kind of explore and
make your own fun that I I thought

858
01:00:52.480 --> 01:00:54.800
he could, and he did.
He really enjoyed it. But where he

859
01:00:54.840 --> 01:00:58.639
got kind of tied up is in
moments where you kind of have to do

860
01:00:58.760 --> 01:01:05.079
a little more nuanced control stuff.
And I did think that the attaching things

861
01:01:05.159 --> 01:01:08.400
and the ultra hand stuff and everything
did require more than Breath of the Wild

862
01:01:08.440 --> 01:01:12.880
to a degree that like someone like
my dad or maybe a very small child

863
01:01:12.960 --> 01:01:16.000
might struggle with it a little more. I did not struggle with it.

864
01:01:16.079 --> 01:01:20.320
I played a lot of Breath of
the Wild. I get used to it.

865
01:01:20.320 --> 01:01:23.239
It's fine. So yeah, I
was ready for you to say that

866
01:01:23.239 --> 01:01:30.159
you hated the controls and suffing.
No, I what was my I didn't

867
01:01:30.159 --> 01:01:31.599
even It was one of the things
where I came away from the previews,

868
01:01:31.599 --> 01:01:37.840
like there was if you have been
playing Breath of the Wild for a while,

869
01:01:37.840 --> 01:01:43.800
I think most of this will feel
at home, or you'll feel right

870
01:01:43.840 --> 01:01:46.639
at home. It's just like they
were already trying to cram a lot onto

871
01:01:46.920 --> 01:01:51.519
a controller in Breath of the Wild. I don't think it was perfect by

872
01:01:51.559 --> 01:01:58.519
any means. I think that the
fact that they've just added more involved abilities

873
01:01:58.599 --> 01:02:05.280
than Magnesis and the would they call
those his runs, I think it might

874
01:02:05.360 --> 01:02:08.559
take some getting used to. But
again, for our preview, we were

875
01:02:08.599 --> 01:02:20.599
thrown into seventy minutes of having all
of links abilities and like trying to figure

876
01:02:20.639 --> 01:02:22.039
them out right away, like they
set up the demo for us, so

877
01:02:22.079 --> 01:02:27.320
like that's unfortunate because that's not really
like the correct It was just the lots

878
01:02:27.320 --> 01:02:29.400
to figure out. Like even if
you hadn't playing Breath of the Wild,

879
01:02:29.400 --> 01:02:31.039
it would have been like, okay, shit, I got to get used

880
01:02:31.079 --> 01:02:37.159
to using recall, which is the
rewind. Well obviously to start at an

881
01:02:37.159 --> 01:02:40.519
earlier area, but I understand what
they're doing. Like I don't fault them

882
01:02:40.559 --> 01:02:45.960
for it, but I would have
preferred to start at the beginning because now

883
01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:49.960
you're like, how do I use
all these items? Yeah, they just

884
01:02:50.000 --> 01:02:52.599
wanted to be like, here's the
whole toolbox. Have fun, and like

885
01:02:52.639 --> 01:02:55.119
they did. There was like a
presentation beforehand where they were like, which,

886
01:02:55.159 --> 01:02:58.000
hey, so this is how this
thing works, and here's how this

887
01:02:58.039 --> 01:03:00.519
thing works. So they didn't just
drop us in cold. They did kind

888
01:03:00.519 --> 01:03:02.000
of show us like, here's the
gist of it. Yeah, go have

889
01:03:02.119 --> 01:03:07.079
fun. But yeah, I'm sure. I look, I have not played

890
01:03:07.119 --> 01:03:09.480
the game beyond that. I am
sure there is a similar deal to like

891
01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:13.559
the Great Plateau, where it's like, Okay, here's the new abilities.

892
01:03:13.960 --> 01:03:15.719
Do these four things to prove you
know how to use them, and then

893
01:03:15.760 --> 01:03:19.639
go nuts. I love the way
Brought the Wild did that. Even coming

894
01:03:19.639 --> 01:03:22.440
out of the preview, I was
like, it's Nintendo. If any developer,

895
01:03:22.559 --> 01:03:27.079
if any first party studios know how
to tutorialize their games, they are

896
01:03:27.119 --> 01:03:29.760
the master of it, right.
I was not worried coming out of the

897
01:03:29.800 --> 01:03:36.880
preview, but yeah, it's just
like the Yeah. So the demo we

898
01:03:36.960 --> 01:03:40.000
did was a series of islands.
They basically were like, Okay, get

899
01:03:40.079 --> 01:03:43.280
up to that one, and then
use that one and then that one.

900
01:03:43.480 --> 01:03:45.880
And even in that small amount of
time, in that seventy minutes we played

901
01:03:45.920 --> 01:03:50.960
that we recorded, we actually played
a few more minutes before it. It's

902
01:03:50.960 --> 01:03:57.639
like everybody the demo is doing things
differently. I was in order to get

903
01:03:57.760 --> 01:04:00.440
there's this one island finally that like
stump me for a bit. I think

904
01:04:01.400 --> 01:04:06.320
most people basically you were trying to
connect Zoni items, which is like a

905
01:04:06.440 --> 01:04:13.199
Zoni rockets or they're basically the items
you can they're like the mechanical parts to

906
01:04:13.280 --> 01:04:17.719
the vehicles you can make from the
ultrahandability, and you can fuse weapons with

907
01:04:17.760 --> 01:04:21.199
them, which is also a whole
other thing. I think a lot of

908
01:04:21.199 --> 01:04:25.960
people were putting rockets on the side
of these floating barges and then angling them

909
01:04:26.039 --> 01:04:30.119
up to get up at the island. Instead, I went straight to the

910
01:04:30.159 --> 01:04:33.840
bottom of the island and it had
this big stalactite hanging from the bottom,

911
01:04:34.280 --> 01:04:39.679
and I got under it and you
can use Ascend. I think a lot

912
01:04:39.719 --> 01:04:43.280
of people, based on footage before
that preview, we're thinking Ascend would only

913
01:04:43.280 --> 01:04:46.320
work on thin ceilings to get to
the floor above. In the demo we

914
01:04:46.400 --> 01:04:48.920
played, you can go to the
bottom of that stalactite, use as scend

915
01:04:48.920 --> 01:04:56.400
and he'll link swims up through this
like ethereal space inside it for like hundreds

916
01:04:56.400 --> 01:05:00.360
of yards. Yeah, and that's
ability. Like I had to remind myself

917
01:05:00.360 --> 01:05:01.880
that I had it, because it's
like, I don't think I've ever played

918
01:05:01.880 --> 01:05:04.960
a game that lets you just like
basically no clip in that way where it's

919
01:05:04.960 --> 01:05:08.119
like, yeah, it's one direction, you're going up. Yeah, but

920
01:05:08.199 --> 01:05:11.039
it's you can just go through a
lot of shit with that because like then

921
01:05:12.119 --> 01:05:16.199
Breath of the While is great because
you could climb most surfaces. That combined

922
01:05:16.239 --> 01:05:20.920
with the paraglider made it easier than
any game that comes to mind and meet

923
01:05:21.039 --> 01:05:27.239
any trying to think like superhero.
I mean, they're superhero games that make

924
01:05:27.320 --> 01:05:31.199
going like vertical easy, but like
in terms of like a semi grounded human

925
01:05:31.280 --> 01:05:38.599
being, him being able to glide
down his stuff or climb stuff was great.

926
01:05:38.840 --> 01:05:40.920
And then just playing that demo,
I was like, oh, man,

927
01:05:40.960 --> 01:05:44.559
ascend. Combined with the paraglider,
you can be like a fucking I

928
01:05:44.559 --> 01:05:49.679
imagine you could be like a ninja. But it's it felt I felt the

929
01:05:49.719 --> 01:05:53.440
same way. I was like,
fuck, I forgot I had ascend.

930
01:05:53.840 --> 01:05:59.199
And then also, what did I
do the part where a bunch of Bocabblin's

931
01:05:59.280 --> 01:06:02.280
role the spike ball down the ramp. I immediately fused it with a stick.

932
01:06:02.320 --> 01:06:06.159
I had to make a spike fuse
the ball. Yeah, so you

933
01:06:06.360 --> 01:06:11.480
do so based on the preview,
you could you could fuse it doesn't matter

934
01:06:11.519 --> 01:06:14.039
how based on the preview, it
didn't matter how big something was, you

935
01:06:14.039 --> 01:06:16.639
know, the parrot the airplane glider
thing you could make later on. Yeah,

936
01:06:16.719 --> 01:06:21.199
yeah, someone the treehouse rep next
to me recommended that I fuse my

937
01:06:21.320 --> 01:06:27.559
shield with that parrolder and then they
shrink to fit the weapon you fuse it

938
01:06:27.559 --> 01:06:30.239
with. So the spike ball became
like a morning Star. But other people

939
01:06:30.280 --> 01:06:33.480
said they recalled the spike ball up
to the both albumins. That's what I

940
01:06:33.519 --> 01:06:35.239
did, Yeah, and I was
like, oh fuck, I forgot I

941
01:06:35.239 --> 01:06:39.840
had recall. It's one of those
games where you have such it was one

942
01:06:39.840 --> 01:06:43.239
of those demos where I had such
crazy abilities for long periods of time.

943
01:06:43.280 --> 01:06:45.800
I could imagine myself coming out of
it, like forgetting I had this and

944
01:06:45.920 --> 01:06:51.880
that. So it's it's exciting links
less like just this magician. Now he's

945
01:06:51.880 --> 01:06:57.280
like a full on like engineer,
which is super cool. And that's just

946
01:06:57.320 --> 01:07:00.239
not something that like Zelda has done
a lot of fucking things for a long

947
01:07:00.280 --> 01:07:04.280
time. I'd never I don't think
any of them have had the type of

948
01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:09.079
like kind of crafting, fusing type
of situation that this does. No,

949
01:07:09.400 --> 01:07:12.280
I came out of it being like
it feels like a Nintendo is just like

950
01:07:13.199 --> 01:07:17.360
making cheat codes the game or like
giving players these these crazy codes right away

951
01:07:17.480 --> 01:07:24.440
to fuck with shit. It also
like the game is really fucking funny,

952
01:07:24.840 --> 01:07:28.000
Like you could tell Nintendo's having fun
with it. I mean that they seemed

953
01:07:27.960 --> 01:07:29.679
like they were having fun with Breath
of the Wild. But Breath of the

954
01:07:29.679 --> 01:07:33.920
Wild, by contrast, compared to
this shit that we saw, Like someone

955
01:07:33.960 --> 01:07:39.840
pointed out after watching my footage I
recorded from the preview, how dumb funny

956
01:07:39.880 --> 01:07:45.639
it is that because now most of
the weapons you're it seems like you're going

957
01:07:45.679 --> 01:07:48.519
to be using our fused weapons.
Yeah, in order to make the bo

958
01:07:48.639 --> 01:07:53.840
Cobblin parts that you fuse with weapon
Like now all the bo Cobblins have like

959
01:07:54.039 --> 01:07:58.760
scythes for horns and like swords for
horns. It's like they've evolved a bunch

960
01:07:58.800 --> 01:08:01.159
of weapons. Yea, the Wild
they didn't have that if so someone on

961
01:08:01.199 --> 01:08:05.639
Polygon I was like, I love
that they're like lore justification for making these

962
01:08:05.679 --> 01:08:11.079
weapons shaped is now just they added
these like these horns are no longer like

963
01:08:11.360 --> 01:08:16.399
look real at all. It's just
like basically yeah, it's like Nintendo,

964
01:08:16.479 --> 01:08:21.119
you could carre didn't. You could
tell they didn't care like about the justification.

965
01:08:21.800 --> 01:08:26.520
Um, but yeah, I mean
I was putting fusing shit right away.

966
01:08:26.640 --> 01:08:30.760
Fuse was super fun, um,
and like that was four islands in

967
01:08:30.800 --> 01:08:36.800
the demo, Like I'm I was
already imagining like going to the Eldon region

968
01:08:36.840 --> 01:08:41.039
where it's all gore and shit and
volcanic and like the stuff you could fuse

969
01:08:41.119 --> 01:08:43.800
there and build there, et cetera. And then same thing with like the

970
01:08:43.880 --> 01:08:47.520
line reason with the Zora armor and
weapons and spears from Breath of presumably you

971
01:08:47.560 --> 01:08:50.399
know, like stuff that they're just
like thinking back on Breath of the Wild,

972
01:08:50.880 --> 01:08:54.239
what Breath of the Wild would have
been like if I could fuse all

973
01:08:54.279 --> 01:09:01.479
this stuff? It was really exciting. Um, by and large, did

974
01:09:01.479 --> 01:09:06.159
you dislike anything from the preview?
No, I'm I came away from that

975
01:09:06.399 --> 01:09:11.079
thinking about the possibilities of the full
game and I haven't been able to stop

976
01:09:11.119 --> 01:09:15.159
thinking about it, and it's killing
me because I'm not playing it, and

977
01:09:15.199 --> 01:09:18.039
I know a ton of people I
know are and I want to ask a

978
01:09:18.159 --> 01:09:21.800
million fucking questions, but I also
don't want to know. And also there

979
01:09:21.880 --> 01:09:25.760
was news, you know, as
of this recording that it's out there,

980
01:09:25.960 --> 01:09:28.520
This game is out there apparently,
so I know that information is out there.

981
01:09:28.600 --> 01:09:30.600
I could go to some large websites
right now and hear everything from the

982
01:09:30.680 --> 01:09:36.880
leagues apparently, and that it intrigues
me. But I just don't want to

983
01:09:36.880 --> 01:09:40.359
know. I want to go in
blind. It was one of my favorite

984
01:09:40.359 --> 01:09:44.199
game experiences ever, going into Breath
of Wild not knowing anything about it,

985
01:09:44.239 --> 01:09:47.760
and I don't want to know.
I loved it. I loved being surprised.

986
01:09:47.920 --> 01:09:50.960
I don't want to know. I
said the same thing in my tweets.

987
01:09:51.000 --> 01:09:59.319
I'm not watching the trailers, oh
no, And everyone was freaking out

988
01:09:59.319 --> 01:10:01.039
when that trailer happened, and I
was like, I want to know,

989
01:10:01.319 --> 01:10:06.079
because, well, did you know
about these abilities we're talking about. I

990
01:10:06.119 --> 01:10:09.439
haven't been listening to you, guys. I've blocked it out. I'm really

991
01:10:09.479 --> 01:10:15.359
good at it. I've just been
like zoned out. I definitely know when

992
01:10:15.399 --> 01:10:17.399
it's best that I'm not paying attention. First of all, I can't help

993
01:10:17.439 --> 01:10:20.359
you because I haven't played the preview, so there's really nothing I can add.

994
01:10:20.560 --> 01:10:24.920
I did hear about the nipples,
sure, but I don't think that's

995
01:10:24.920 --> 01:10:28.880
actually a spoiler. Well, you
know, I guess we'll find out if

996
01:10:28.920 --> 01:10:33.720
it is. I I'm okay with
it. Yeah, I'm away from the

997
01:10:33.760 --> 01:10:39.079
preview thinking that this, like elden
Ring in its own way, was really

998
01:10:39.079 --> 01:10:42.199
fucking funny, like a comedy in
a lot of ways. Yeah, I

999
01:10:42.279 --> 01:10:46.279
came away from the preview of Tears
the Kingdom hoping that they Nintendo was going

1000
01:10:46.319 --> 01:10:51.880
for like this giant triple a open
world comedy in a similar vein. It's

1001
01:10:51.920 --> 01:10:55.359
just fucking crazy to me though,
because, like I think, all things

1002
01:10:55.439 --> 01:10:59.960
considered, like Breath of the Wild
is about the most open ended open world

1003
01:11:00.039 --> 01:11:01.479
game I've ever played in terms of
just go wherever you want to in any

1004
01:11:01.640 --> 01:11:04.479
order, do things the way you
want to solve these shrines the way you

1005
01:11:04.479 --> 01:11:09.000
want to in ways that are just
insane that like the developers probably didn't even

1006
01:11:09.039 --> 01:11:13.199
think about, like just all these
systems working together in tandem to create magic.

1007
01:11:13.520 --> 01:11:16.119
I'm excited to play, Yeah,
I mean, like just I'm assuming

1008
01:11:16.159 --> 01:11:20.600
just today, probably somewhere on YouTube
someone posted something that they did in Breath

1009
01:11:20.640 --> 01:11:24.800
of the While that no one had
done before. The fact that Nintendo is

1010
01:11:24.840 --> 01:11:28.439
like tripling down on that and Tears
of Kingdom be like, oh, like,

1011
01:11:29.000 --> 01:11:33.640
it's super cool to see that Nintendo
presumably enjoyed that aspect and now they're

1012
01:11:33.640 --> 01:11:39.279
giving them even more tools to fucking
sequence break every five minutes if you wanted

1013
01:11:39.319 --> 01:11:43.159
to. That's what's insane to me, is like if they are trippling down

1014
01:11:43.199 --> 01:11:45.760
on the game that was already the
most insane in that regard, Like what

1015
01:11:45.920 --> 01:11:48.319
does this even fuck? And it
looks like what clips are we going to

1016
01:11:48.359 --> 01:11:50.399
see them out of this? What
does the speed rank man be going to

1017
01:11:50.439 --> 01:11:56.800
be? Like this thing? It's
holy shit, It's it's like even more

1018
01:11:56.880 --> 01:12:02.199
heartening that it's Nintendo taking that approach. Nintendo like a lot of their first

1019
01:12:02.199 --> 01:12:09.760
party games are playful, but I
wouldn't with control. I was gonna say,

1020
01:12:09.760 --> 01:12:13.119
I wouldn't dubbed Nintendo the studio.
I would expect to give up this

1021
01:12:13.279 --> 01:12:17.199
much control to the I agree.
We said that about the first like Zelda

1022
01:12:17.439 --> 01:12:21.920
Breath of the Wild, which is
this is really out of character and out

1023
01:12:21.920 --> 01:12:27.399
of pocket and a lot of people
don't like that. So I some Zelda

1024
01:12:27.439 --> 01:12:32.159
fantade of it and it's doubling down
interesting. Well, I'm excited to play

1025
01:12:32.159 --> 01:12:35.039
it when it comes out. I
don't think we should say anymore. I

1026
01:12:35.079 --> 01:12:40.520
think we should uh, I think
we should lock that one up. Sure,

1027
01:12:41.000 --> 01:12:45.439
talking about it, I also played
h I got off Corressant in Star

1028
01:12:45.479 --> 01:12:48.680
Wars Jedi Survivor, and I had
really positive impressions that game. I wanted

1029
01:12:48.720 --> 01:12:56.439
to play more. I played on
PC, and I every time I went

1030
01:12:56.479 --> 01:12:59.960
to the start menu, it broke
the audio on my PC to restart my

1031
01:13:00.039 --> 01:13:01.239
computer, and I tried several times. I was like, okay, if

1032
01:13:01.239 --> 01:13:04.920
I just don't pause, it'll be
okay. And just the beginning, it

1033
01:13:05.039 --> 01:13:09.119
just you know, it's the thing
where you're walking and you're handcuffed and it's

1034
01:13:09.159 --> 01:13:11.199
just like, oh, here's the
world, and you know, guys are

1035
01:13:11.199 --> 01:13:14.560
talking to you. It just everything
just reeked to me, like this seems

1036
01:13:14.560 --> 01:13:18.079
like a safe Triple A licensed game, and I feel like, I'm sure

1037
01:13:18.079 --> 01:13:20.720
it's gonna be fine. I'm sure
it's gonna be very well crapped and everything.

1038
01:13:20.760 --> 01:13:25.880
But nothing about what I've seen or
read about this game, like I

1039
01:13:26.520 --> 01:13:28.560
fell off the first one. I
got like almost to the end of the

1040
01:13:28.600 --> 01:13:30.279
first one, and it just wasn't
really moving me in any way. So

1041
01:13:30.319 --> 01:13:32.720
like, I just I don't know
if I want to put the time into

1042
01:13:32.720 --> 01:13:35.800
this one. You know, Yeah, I like the first one, despite

1043
01:13:36.079 --> 01:13:41.399
even some late game annoying shit.
The lack of fast travel was very annoying,

1044
01:13:41.520 --> 01:13:45.199
especially in a game where it's like
yes on the elevator, pitch is

1045
01:13:45.720 --> 01:13:48.760
Dark Souls meets Dark Souls Light meets
Star Wars, and I think they now

1046
01:13:48.760 --> 01:13:53.680
that even more in the second game, and they added some quality of life

1047
01:13:53.680 --> 01:13:59.760
stuff for the metroid Vania aspects on
backtracking, and I have not had too

1048
01:13:59.800 --> 01:14:03.760
much backtracking yet, but already it
seems like they iron out some kinks in

1049
01:14:03.840 --> 01:14:06.199
the first game. I'm not far
in at all, but I do want

1050
01:14:06.199 --> 01:14:12.319
to play more at some point,
Mary, have you been playing anything but

1051
01:14:12.439 --> 01:14:17.520
a couple of things. I played
the Cult of the Lamb DLC really nice

1052
01:14:17.560 --> 01:14:21.840
to be back in Cults of the
Lamb. I forgot how much I enjoyed

1053
01:14:21.880 --> 01:14:26.520
that game and that experience. It
was like one of my favorite games last

1054
01:14:26.600 --> 01:14:31.359
year. So it gives you a
really good excuse. It redes all bosses

1055
01:14:31.399 --> 01:14:34.720
and there's like four and then I
think there will be a final boss that

1056
01:14:34.760 --> 01:14:39.680
I didn't get to, which means
it's in many ways the game again,

1057
01:14:40.279 --> 01:14:44.880
because that's a lot of worlds you'll
probably remember, but I'll refresh remember if

1058
01:14:44.880 --> 01:14:48.319
you don't that when you go into
a new area like a grass area or

1059
01:14:48.359 --> 01:14:56.239
the woods area, whatever. You
have to complete it like four times right

1060
01:14:56.560 --> 01:15:00.119
open the door, right to open
the door. So it's a lot of

1061
01:15:00.520 --> 01:15:10.359
work to get through those areas.
Doing that with a full area for my

1062
01:15:10.800 --> 01:15:15.079
home whatever, because I've I've completely
established it. I've got rocks, it's

1063
01:15:15.119 --> 01:15:18.720
beautiful, I've got gems. There's
everything you could ever need. There's bathrooms,

1064
01:15:19.039 --> 01:15:25.000
there's morgues. I've they've got new
upgrades I've never were aware of.

1065
01:15:25.039 --> 01:15:27.760
I don't know if you had these. They had cooks now, so I

1066
01:15:27.760 --> 01:15:30.239
don't. It's a cook. Oh, it's pretty crazy, Like you assign

1067
01:15:31.000 --> 01:15:36.039
one of your followers to be a
cook, and so somebody's out there like

1068
01:15:36.560 --> 01:15:43.239
flipping eggs and it's all automated.
You had to cook, and then that

1069
01:15:43.680 --> 01:15:46.399
attracted everybody to wherever your kitchen was, right they all kind of hop up

1070
01:15:46.439 --> 01:15:50.319
there and eat all the food.
Yeah, Okay, that's enticing because I

1071
01:15:50.399 --> 01:15:55.119
like that game quite a bit too. But after a while, the routine

1072
01:15:55.119 --> 01:15:59.520
of going around blessing people, cooking, going to do one of the ceremonies

1073
01:15:59.560 --> 01:16:05.520
of sacrific ices got a bit old
quick. Yeah, like the repetition of

1074
01:16:05.560 --> 01:16:13.720
it is unnecessary. It's a new
game. Plus they're giving you easier outs

1075
01:16:13.760 --> 01:16:17.800
to make it seamless. I think
you still have repetition. For example,

1076
01:16:18.079 --> 01:16:26.159
Um, you I'm at the point
where everybody's house sucks up their prayer juice

1077
01:16:26.199 --> 01:16:29.319
and then you can like come and
gather it. That's all manual. So

1078
01:16:29.319 --> 01:16:31.680
I'm going to like each house and
just like hitting X and like scooping up

1079
01:16:31.680 --> 01:16:35.720
all their all their juice. Um. I forget what it's called, but

1080
01:16:35.840 --> 01:16:41.520
you know what I mean, Like
the juice yea devotion. It's like the

1081
01:16:41.520 --> 01:16:44.600
thing that they give me so that
I can upgrade my abilities. I have

1082
01:16:44.640 --> 01:16:48.039
to like still manually suck all that
juice out. Um. I don't mind,

1083
01:16:48.439 --> 01:16:57.960
but I do. Uh. And
then there's new um rituals and things

1084
01:16:57.960 --> 01:17:00.119
you can do with your cult.
But I would say largely what you're doing

1085
01:17:01.439 --> 01:17:09.359
is the combat areas, the going
through those new rooms fighting tougher enemies.

1086
01:17:09.399 --> 01:17:14.680
It is tougher. They've are assuming
that you are skilled up at this point,

1087
01:17:15.279 --> 01:17:18.760
and they are not going easy on
you. I died several times trying

1088
01:17:18.800 --> 01:17:24.239
to beat the main boss and then
get them, but it took it took

1089
01:17:24.279 --> 01:17:29.119
time. It was not easy,
and they accounted for the fact that you've

1090
01:17:29.119 --> 01:17:31.119
been playing this game for a while. It's you have to have beaten it

1091
01:17:31.159 --> 01:17:34.680
to get into it, Like,
yeah, I think so. Otherwise I

1092
01:17:34.720 --> 01:17:41.439
think you wouldn't be able to because
I would almost consider this new game plus

1093
01:17:41.439 --> 01:17:45.000
because the idea is that it's not
DLC like it's a new world like you've

1094
01:17:45.039 --> 01:17:50.000
started over. It's the same world, but all the all the areas that

1095
01:17:50.039 --> 01:17:56.239
you went into, the four areas, they've been totally reflipped with new enemies

1096
01:17:56.279 --> 01:18:00.520
and new bosses, and then there's
a new main guy waiting for you at

1097
01:18:00.520 --> 01:18:03.840
the end. Okay, so it's
just new combat, and if you're interested

1098
01:18:03.840 --> 01:18:08.119
in the combat in that game,
then it's worth revisiting. I really enjoyed

1099
01:18:08.159 --> 01:18:10.800
going back and playing it again.
I don't think I have the same like

1100
01:18:11.680 --> 01:18:15.279
level of addiction that I had last
year. Maybe it's because starting up your

1101
01:18:15.319 --> 01:18:19.800
cult is really exciting. Yes,
my cult is self sufficient now, so

1102
01:18:19.840 --> 01:18:24.600
I don't feel that same urge try
to play. It feeds the purpose of

1103
01:18:24.640 --> 01:18:30.520
a cult, doesn't it. Yeah, they want sufficient. I know they're

1104
01:18:30.520 --> 01:18:32.439
working themselves out at this point.
You know, the only thing I have

1105
01:18:32.439 --> 01:18:35.079
to do is put a couple of
people in jail every once in a while.

1106
01:18:35.199 --> 01:18:39.840
That's it, Like it's there's nothing
to stress about with the cult anymore.

1107
01:18:39.920 --> 01:18:43.920
And maybe that isn't good, right, You're right, you do enjoy

1108
01:18:44.439 --> 01:18:46.880
solving cult problems. I mean that
was that was my favorite part. Like

1109
01:18:46.880 --> 01:18:49.920
I remember every time I had to
go into the woods and do the stuff.

1110
01:18:49.960 --> 01:18:53.760
It's like, I'll do this and
it's fine. Like I didn't dislike

1111
01:18:53.800 --> 01:18:57.680
the combat, but it's like,
yeah, like I want to go build

1112
01:18:57.720 --> 01:19:00.239
stuff and have weird you know,
just like you know the ritual and all

1113
01:19:00.279 --> 01:19:01.319
that. But you run out of
materials, right, and so you have

1114
01:19:01.399 --> 01:19:05.000
to go on these hikes because getting
wood is really precious. So in the

1115
01:19:05.119 --> 01:19:10.159
DLC, when you're going on these
adventures, you know, the pathways give

1116
01:19:10.159 --> 01:19:12.399
you the ability to like this one
will give you wood and this one will

1117
01:19:12.399 --> 01:19:15.119
give you a new follower. And
it's like it's not really motivating to get

1118
01:19:15.159 --> 01:19:18.880
wood because I have wood making machines
and then I have a full time dude

1119
01:19:18.880 --> 01:19:23.079
who converts my wood into planks.
So every time I go home, I

1120
01:19:23.079 --> 01:19:28.840
can build whatever I want. I'm
not resource poor anymore. I have everything

1121
01:19:28.920 --> 01:19:31.640
occultists could want. So you're really
playing it for the combat. Okay,

1122
01:19:31.760 --> 01:19:36.000
you say it was free or is
it paid it was free for me.

1123
01:19:40.720 --> 01:19:45.000
I I think it's free. Yeah, I thought I heard it was free.

1124
01:19:45.039 --> 01:19:51.920
I think it's free. I didn't
freet's come for me. If it's

1125
01:19:51.960 --> 01:19:56.880
not, it's free. Yeah,
we're recording as of this episode. Going

1126
01:19:56.960 --> 01:20:01.520
up, the Case of the Golden
Idol DLC will be out Cult to the

1127
01:20:01.600 --> 01:20:05.319
Lamb. No, sorry, I'm
transfer Case of the Golden Idol. Last

1128
01:20:05.359 --> 01:20:13.920
year's Detective Logic puzzle game is also
has new DLC. Oh, I don't

1129
01:20:13.960 --> 01:20:15.159
know what that game is, Yes, you do. We talked. Did

1130
01:20:15.159 --> 01:20:18.239
we not talk about Case of the
Golden Idol last year? Yes, we

1131
01:20:18.279 --> 01:20:21.760
did. Maybe, I don't know. It did fairly well. We talked

1132
01:20:21.760 --> 01:20:25.279
about it a decent Well, it
wasn't very good because we've forgotten it.

1133
01:20:25.560 --> 01:20:31.840
Yeah, I don't remember. Oh
wait, did it come out? We

1134
01:20:31.920 --> 01:20:38.119
absolutely talked about it during Game of
the Year stuff like you talked about it.

1135
01:20:38.199 --> 01:20:41.399
Yeah, got technic, really good
taste. You should play this game.

1136
01:20:41.800 --> 01:20:43.640
This is the game I was telling
you, Dan, I remember when

1137
01:20:43.640 --> 01:20:46.279
we first talked about it that.
Um it's these still images are kind of

1138
01:20:46.319 --> 01:20:49.600
like still scenes of murders, and
you're trying to figure out what happened,

1139
01:20:49.680 --> 01:20:54.319
piecing together these logic puzzles based on
who that character isn't who that is.

1140
01:20:54.640 --> 01:20:57.880
If this character is that, then
they wouldn't have this weapon, et cetera.

1141
01:20:58.199 --> 01:21:01.520
If you haven't Yeah, logic,
but based on these, we had

1142
01:21:01.560 --> 01:21:05.439
the same conversation. Yeah, if
you're like going to be on a flight

1143
01:21:05.520 --> 01:21:10.880
or something, it's probably really good
for that or Steam deck fucking perfect for

1144
01:21:10.920 --> 01:21:16.800
steam deckses. They're calling him Golden
Idol Mysteries, which implies that I think

1145
01:21:16.800 --> 01:21:20.319
they're going to do more, which
is awesome. If people haven't played Case

1146
01:21:20.359 --> 01:21:26.359
of the Golden Idol, they should
it brought it up on the podcast for

1147
01:21:26.399 --> 01:21:30.359
the first time. Yeah, it
is good. Yeah, I'm curious about

1148
01:21:30.359 --> 01:21:33.399
this game I've never heard before.
Yeah, we talked about Mary. You're

1149
01:21:33.479 --> 01:21:39.760
like an indie queen. I played
indie games. You should have played Case

1150
01:21:39.760 --> 01:21:41.960
of Golden Idole. I consider it
a failure on your part that you don't

1151
01:21:41.960 --> 01:21:44.359
know what it is. I hope
you can't feel me in that box.

1152
01:21:44.640 --> 01:21:46.760
I can't know them all. There's
so many indies. I think it's a

1153
01:21:46.760 --> 01:21:49.439
failure that you never brought it to
my attention before. Yeah, you should

1154
01:21:49.439 --> 01:21:51.800
have brought it up on our video
game podcast. Okay, literally have a

1155
01:21:51.800 --> 01:21:57.159
podcast for this reason. My I, Uh, somebody who's listening right now,

1156
01:21:57.239 --> 01:22:00.000
please clip when I talked about it, and look any take anything.

1157
01:22:00.439 --> 01:22:02.600
Yeah, they're just gonna put words
in my mouth. It's a lie.

1158
01:22:03.039 --> 01:22:08.079
Yeah that's hot. Um yeah,
you should play Kays of Gold. Niel

1159
01:22:08.119 --> 01:22:13.039
though he'd like it, I think, Um, I have not played Red

1160
01:22:13.039 --> 01:22:16.079
Fall yet. Let me, Oh
you played it, Dan, didn't you

1161
01:22:16.800 --> 01:22:20.079
a little bit? It's I did
the preview event like a month or whatever

1162
01:22:20.119 --> 01:22:24.000
ago, and then I played a
little bit with Backler on the quick look

1163
01:22:24.000 --> 01:22:27.319
on Giant Bomb. Oh man.
Look, I've recorded a lot of quick

1164
01:22:27.359 --> 01:22:30.600
looks and a lot of videos about
a lot of games over a lot of

1165
01:22:30.600 --> 01:22:33.680
time, and I've never done a
video that was just so emotionless as the

1166
01:22:33.760 --> 01:22:38.600
quick look of Redfall is me and
Backler. It's just it's so boring.

1167
01:22:38.880 --> 01:22:43.279
It is so nothing that game that
you just run out of stuff to talk

1168
01:22:43.279 --> 01:22:45.239
about with it. Like we just
both ended that quick look being like,

1169
01:22:45.399 --> 01:22:47.920
I guess we both should just uninstall
this right now to free up some our

1170
01:22:48.000 --> 01:22:53.000
drive space. It is just fucking
static. It is nothing. It is

1171
01:22:53.640 --> 01:22:58.359
It's an open world game. Where
watched that video and we set an objective

1172
01:22:58.600 --> 01:23:00.880
across the map and we're walking and
it's like, oh, co op open

1173
01:23:00.920 --> 01:23:03.199
world game, let's go do some
cool shit and see what kind of fun

1174
01:23:03.199 --> 01:23:06.079
stuff that can distract us along the
way, and some combat scenarios we'll get

1175
01:23:06.119 --> 01:23:10.840
into. And no, we're just
we're just quiet and we're just walking and

1176
01:23:10.920 --> 01:23:14.920
everything looks and feels like it was
made in twenty twelve and it was like

1177
01:23:14.960 --> 01:23:18.760
a ho hum Borderlands clone back then. But no new, big fucking game

1178
01:23:18.800 --> 01:23:24.199
from Arcane in twenty twenty three.
And it's fucking soulless. It's fucking boring,

1179
01:23:24.479 --> 01:23:28.640
it's fucking broken at times in terms
of the AI. It is empty.

1180
01:23:29.199 --> 01:23:33.960
It is how the fuck did this
happen? It smells, Yeah,

1181
01:23:34.000 --> 01:23:43.520
it's it's stinky. Um as you
both probably know, I'm an Arcane I

1182
01:23:44.720 --> 01:23:46.840
it's funny, Like I would actually
say, the last game I really liked

1183
01:23:46.880 --> 01:23:51.439
from them was Prey in two thousands
seventeen. I believe it's great. They

1184
01:23:51.479 --> 01:23:58.680
then worked on or helped do Wolfenstein
Young Blood. But oh that was a

1185
01:23:58.720 --> 01:24:02.319
co op one right, yeah,
it was um But then they did Death

1186
01:24:02.359 --> 01:24:06.479
Loop that was the leone studio,
so that was not Austin um so This

1187
01:24:06.520 --> 01:24:12.479
is personally the first thing from Austin
is this the one replays four different types

1188
01:24:12.479 --> 01:24:15.399
of people. Yeah, and like
a Stephen King esque midnight mass kind of

1189
01:24:15.560 --> 01:24:20.319
cartoon. Vampire Players has the bones
of something that's interesting. Now when they

1190
01:24:20.319 --> 01:24:24.479
showed that, like that that a
trailer that they debuted with where it's like,

1191
01:24:24.520 --> 01:24:27.640
oh, it's this like stylish four
player vampire hunting thing, and it's

1192
01:24:27.640 --> 01:24:30.199
like none of that style or fun
or levity is like, none of that's

1193
01:24:30.239 --> 01:24:34.239
there in the game. It's just
soulless and empty. Yeah, and I'm

1194
01:24:34.279 --> 01:24:38.960
gonna play it just because I've it's
an Arcane game. I don't have high

1195
01:24:39.000 --> 01:24:44.159
hopes based on everything I've heard.
Um, I've often like liked their games

1196
01:24:44.199 --> 01:24:47.720
in theory more than in practice.
Death Loop is kind of chief among them.

1197
01:24:48.399 --> 01:24:53.640
Dishonored. I love those games,
but going back to them sometimes they're

1198
01:24:54.680 --> 01:24:57.880
they're kind of messy. Um in
terms of like people say like, oh,

1199
01:24:57.920 --> 01:24:59.800
it's an immersive sim you can do
this and that, it was like,

1200
01:25:00.119 --> 01:25:04.800
it's actually kind of restrictive. It's
kind of ironic to me that Nintendo

1201
01:25:05.119 --> 01:25:12.479
is releasing basically an immersive sim two
weeks after Arcane Studios putting out an immerse

1202
01:25:12.520 --> 01:25:17.640
SIM and I've played an hour of
Nintendo's Well, that's not true. I

1203
01:25:17.720 --> 01:25:21.520
played an hour that I could talk
about based on the hour that I've played

1204
01:25:21.800 --> 01:25:26.920
one week. Yes, I was
still coming out of that more excited for

1205
01:25:27.680 --> 01:25:30.279
Tears the Kingdom as an immersive SIM
experience than I was for Red Fall,

1206
01:25:30.760 --> 01:25:34.319
and now even more so based on
what I've heard about Red Fall. That's

1207
01:25:34.319 --> 01:25:38.960
a shame. The abilities aren't fun. The skill tree is not fun.

1208
01:25:39.399 --> 01:25:44.520
It's like the characters aren't good.
Cool character, compelling character design with like

1209
01:25:44.880 --> 01:25:48.199
actual abilities to shake up combat can
take a game a long way, even

1210
01:25:48.239 --> 01:25:50.760
if everything around it's not good.
But I've heard even that is like,

1211
01:25:50.800 --> 01:25:55.239
no, it's still kind of just
a boring shooter. Yeah, the gun

1212
01:25:55.279 --> 01:26:00.560
players really just wrote it is a
cool world. Arcane making a like basically

1213
01:26:00.600 --> 01:26:04.439
their take on Elevator pitch Wise,
Arcane making a far Cry game set in

1214
01:26:04.479 --> 01:26:11.199
like a Stephen King esque universe is
like, it's like your favorite things.

1215
01:26:11.279 --> 01:26:15.920
Like the fact that none of them
sound good is really disheartening. I don't

1216
01:26:15.920 --> 01:26:17.840
know what went on. They delayed
a bunch of times. I think we

1217
01:26:17.880 --> 01:26:23.800
expected this. We got the game
code, I think last Friday was it

1218
01:26:23.840 --> 01:26:27.119
broken for you? It was broken
for us. I couldn't even get into

1219
01:26:27.159 --> 01:26:30.039
it. It kept saying like the
client was broken or something. Yeah.

1220
01:26:30.079 --> 01:26:33.239
I think our reviewer played on Xbox. Ok no, they played on both

1221
01:26:33.279 --> 01:26:38.960
and they went to PC because it's
Microsoft. But um, then the embargo

1222
01:26:39.079 --> 01:26:45.079
was eight oh one pm Eastern the
night basically of release. Like, that's

1223
01:26:45.079 --> 01:26:47.840
not a good signal. Sometimes there's
been a few cases recently where like that's

1224
01:26:47.840 --> 01:26:50.520
not a good sign Then the game's
actually fine. This doesn't seem like it.

1225
01:26:51.560 --> 01:26:57.279
I don't know. I worry about
arcane. Sometimes Arcane Leone has been

1226
01:26:57.720 --> 01:27:01.119
it seemed fine. So this is
a real bad one. I mean,

1227
01:27:01.520 --> 01:27:04.680
this is a people were saying and
I feel like you're not. You don't

1228
01:27:04.680 --> 01:27:10.199
often say things this harsh. This
is like, I mean, there's just

1229
01:27:10.319 --> 01:27:13.479
nothing going on with this fucking game. There's not, And like I don't

1230
01:27:13.960 --> 01:27:15.159
like I I wish I would have
liked this. I like a good co

1231
01:27:15.279 --> 01:27:18.159
op shooter. I like a mindless
you know, like get some loud and

1232
01:27:18.239 --> 01:27:21.520
kill some stuff. Like it's man, all the side stuff, it's just

1233
01:27:21.560 --> 01:27:26.960
the exact same shit. The open
world is nothing. It's just damn broken.

1234
01:27:27.039 --> 01:27:30.479
AI broken, fucking can stand right
next to guys and they won't even

1235
01:27:30.479 --> 01:27:32.039
realize you're there. They're running run
into a wall, and you can just

1236
01:27:32.039 --> 01:27:36.039
go melee im until they die.
It's uh, I can't believe this game

1237
01:27:36.079 --> 01:27:41.000
came out like this. Damn,
there's no way I don't play this game

1238
01:27:41.039 --> 01:27:43.720
again. Like, I'll probably play
it just for the sight seeing of that

1239
01:27:43.800 --> 01:27:46.560
island. Yeah, I mean there's
there's like I like the frozen, the

1240
01:27:46.880 --> 01:27:49.560
crash and the water, like,
there's there's a couple of cool things to

1241
01:27:49.560 --> 01:27:54.920
look at. But it can only
go so far. Someone should just make

1242
01:27:54.960 --> 01:27:59.640
that same game. But good,
yeah, THEYD let's do it. Yeah

1243
01:28:00.119 --> 01:28:05.159
great, Yeah, there's always a
good consistency between people who review games and

1244
01:28:05.199 --> 01:28:09.840
their ability to make games. How
hard can it be? How hard can

1245
01:28:09.880 --> 01:28:12.439
it be to make a video game? If it's not ready, just to

1246
01:28:12.520 --> 01:28:14.840
lay it a bunch of times,
figure out why you want to release it?

1247
01:28:15.079 --> 01:28:16.840
Yeah, text film, common sense, it's common. Get a sugar

1248
01:28:16.960 --> 01:28:24.119
mama to fund it. You can
build up in Fortnite now building in Fortnite

1249
01:28:24.119 --> 01:28:28.199
and transfer it over. I have
so many printed I have so many thumb

1250
01:28:28.279 --> 01:28:32.680
drives in the back. Can you
play anything else, either of you?

1251
01:28:33.159 --> 01:28:36.199
Yeah? Yeah, I want to
do a catch up round up here from

1252
01:28:36.279 --> 01:28:40.840
last time, do a catchup round
up. It's it's my segment to catch

1253
01:28:40.960 --> 01:28:45.359
up round up since last time?
What happened last time? Onenes that you

1254
01:28:45.359 --> 01:28:47.000
guys suggested to me, A few
of them are ones that I, for

1255
01:28:47.000 --> 01:28:50.000
some reason, out of the last
one, I thought I would play.

1256
01:28:50.920 --> 01:28:55.640
So Dredge, Uh, Dredge is
very good. I like it a lot.

1257
01:28:57.199 --> 01:29:00.359
It's it's really fun. There are
parts where I would kind of like

1258
01:29:00.720 --> 01:29:03.319
I check the board on like where
I need to go next, like the

1259
01:29:03.319 --> 01:29:06.560
pursuits, and it's just kind of
like all I have available was like catch

1260
01:29:06.600 --> 01:29:10.520
some weird fish. Yeah, I
don't know, what do you want me

1261
01:29:10.520 --> 01:29:13.359
to do? Like go out there, bud, good luck? I would

1262
01:29:13.439 --> 01:29:15.560
and I would just catch a bunch
of stuff and I would get a bunch

1263
01:29:15.560 --> 01:29:16.800
of upgrades, and I would like
go to the dry dock and upgrade my

1264
01:29:16.840 --> 01:29:18.920
ship and stuff. But there were
definitely a lot of times where I was

1265
01:29:18.960 --> 01:29:21.720
like, all right, what am
I doing here? Like, what's what's

1266
01:29:21.760 --> 01:29:25.760
the goal? What am I pointing
towards here? Um, I don't know

1267
01:29:25.800 --> 01:29:29.039
if I'll finish it. But I
played several hours of it and definitely enjoyed

1268
01:29:29.079 --> 01:29:32.439
it, and I have not played
anything it. Wow, I was thinking

1269
01:29:32.439 --> 01:29:35.720
of you when I was filling out
the encyclopedia. I got every fish,

1270
01:29:35.760 --> 01:29:41.720
I got every ending. A fucking
was obsessed with that game. I'm glad

1271
01:29:41.760 --> 01:29:44.760
you played it. It's good.
I do like the game a lot.

1272
01:29:44.920 --> 01:29:47.840
So good. Uh no, man, Sky, I did go. I

1273
01:29:47.880 --> 01:29:51.960
forget how that came up last time, but I started here is it.

1274
01:29:51.960 --> 01:29:56.920
It's twenty twenty but out for what
six years? And uh, yeah,

1275
01:29:56.960 --> 01:29:59.520
it seems really cool. I was
wearing a game spot when this game came

1276
01:29:59.560 --> 01:30:02.319
out. Say, yeah, that
was back when I worked at Giant Bomb

1277
01:30:04.800 --> 01:30:10.520
Full Circle. Yes, no,
it's it's really cool. I'm playing a

1278
01:30:10.560 --> 01:30:14.399
third person now, which I've never
played before. It's I don't know.

1279
01:30:14.560 --> 01:30:17.119
I didn't play enough of it at
launch to know exactly what all they added,

1280
01:30:17.159 --> 01:30:21.680
but it's pretty clear. Like it's
not it doesn't feel like this big,

1281
01:30:21.760 --> 01:30:26.520
open just what am I doing next
thing it or just a grind thing.

1282
01:30:26.560 --> 01:30:29.720
It feels like there's a little more
direction. I haven't gotten to the

1283
01:30:29.760 --> 01:30:32.000
points yet where you're getting these huge
frigates and fleets of ships and all that

1284
01:30:32.039 --> 01:30:34.640
stuff, But I've just seen enough
stuff where it's like, Okay, I

1285
01:30:34.680 --> 01:30:38.840
definitely did not see this in the
first few hours of Last Time. Yeah,

1286
01:30:38.880 --> 01:30:42.239
and just it looks beautiful and it's
just so fun landing on a planet

1287
01:30:42.319 --> 01:30:44.479
trying to figure out like, Okay, is this gonna be a good one

1288
01:30:44.520 --> 01:30:45.960
to build a base on or no, it seems like a shitty, snowy

1289
01:30:46.000 --> 01:30:48.479
Blizzard world. I'm not going to
build a thing here. Like, it's

1290
01:30:48.520 --> 01:30:53.479
just fun hopping around a galaxy and
seeing what he'd planet is going to hold,

1291
01:30:53.640 --> 01:30:56.399
And yeah, I kind of want
to keep going with it. I

1292
01:30:56.439 --> 01:30:58.760
don't think it's gonna be one that
I'm going to like put one hundreds of

1293
01:30:58.800 --> 01:31:00.800
hours into, but I think it's
one that's late at night. I don't

1294
01:31:00.800 --> 01:31:03.520
know, I could kind of wind
down with some No Man Sky Before Better

1295
01:31:03.560 --> 01:31:08.079
or something like that. So yeah, so that seems cool. And the

1296
01:31:08.119 --> 01:31:13.560
other one is Advance Wars. So
I played. I got like halfway through

1297
01:31:13.640 --> 01:31:17.279
the second well Advanced Wars two as
the like different factions, and I got

1298
01:31:17.319 --> 01:31:20.920
like halfway through the second Factions campaign, and I started thinking, like,

1299
01:31:21.600 --> 01:31:24.920
man, I don't know if I
played the second one much on game Boy

1300
01:31:24.920 --> 01:31:27.920
Advance and I love the game Boy
Advance and I've got an analog pocket,

1301
01:31:28.319 --> 01:31:30.079
and I know there's not really a
lot of quality of life improvements in this

1302
01:31:30.199 --> 01:31:34.079
remake. So I just restarted the
game on game Boy Advance and it's like,

1303
01:31:34.239 --> 01:31:38.000
Okay, I actually like it a
lot better on there. It's just

1304
01:31:38.039 --> 01:31:41.560
the original game and the sprites are
better. I like the musical lodge that

1305
01:31:41.600 --> 01:31:44.439
the analog pocket feels great. So, I mean, there's nothing wrong with

1306
01:31:44.479 --> 01:31:46.600
the switch port. It's just that
like there's not enough that they added,

1307
01:31:46.760 --> 01:31:50.039
and the original game looks fucking great, and I've got an analog pocket which

1308
01:31:50.079 --> 01:31:54.199
is really easy to carry around and
whip out and play a couple of maps,

1309
01:31:54.239 --> 01:31:57.319
and so yeah, I'm just going
through the whole game again on game

1310
01:31:57.319 --> 01:32:00.640
Boy Advance, which has been great. Advance, m that's awesome. I

1311
01:32:00.640 --> 01:32:03.680
mean, in my pocket is like
my go to like traveling, Like I

1312
01:32:03.680 --> 01:32:06.880
gotta get on a train early tomorrow
morning. I'm just gonna play a pocket

1313
01:32:06.880 --> 01:32:13.039
the whole time flight thing. Every
time, My my like consistent thing is

1314
01:32:13.159 --> 01:32:15.000
when I know I'm gonna fly.
And when I went to Memphis, I

1315
01:32:15.039 --> 01:32:19.000
knew I was going to be flying
for like six hours. I download like

1316
01:32:19.000 --> 01:32:24.720
a little indie game because then you
go. I'm Mike, and I play

1317
01:32:24.800 --> 01:32:29.479
it on the plane and then I
decide in that flight if I like it

1318
01:32:29.600 --> 01:32:32.720
or not. That's nice. Yeah, that's a show right there. That's

1319
01:32:32.720 --> 01:32:36.399
a YouTube channel. Yeah, you're
just flying around, Yeah yeah, yeah,

1320
01:32:36.720 --> 01:32:41.600
a cross country flying buying indie game
and tell you if it sex or

1321
01:32:41.640 --> 01:32:45.239
not. I I bought it was
You probably saw this team was doing its

1322
01:32:45.920 --> 01:32:54.680
puzzle game deals, so you could
buy a whole variety of puzzling style games

1323
01:32:55.239 --> 01:33:00.319
at like eighty percent off. It
was nuts. And I love puzzle actually

1324
01:33:00.359 --> 01:33:04.520
indie indie esque puzzy games. And
I grabbed Piku Niku, which I've never

1325
01:33:04.520 --> 01:33:10.199
played before. It has really good
reviews and it's so cute and really funny

1326
01:33:10.199 --> 01:33:13.279
and charming. It's not new,
this game is several years old, but

1327
01:33:14.039 --> 01:33:17.000
I got it on sale for like
a couple of bucks. Absolutely charming.

1328
01:33:17.119 --> 01:33:24.960
It is filled with like adorable simple
characters. They're basically shaped with legs and

1329
01:33:25.159 --> 01:33:30.520
eyes and they It's just got really
good writing it. I was kind of

1330
01:33:30.680 --> 01:33:33.520
smiling immediately from the get go.
Or they were like, I'm a salesman,

1331
01:33:33.560 --> 01:33:39.359
I'm selling you stuff, like come
on down today and you're helping townspeople

1332
01:33:40.159 --> 01:33:44.760
solve things. It's very point and
click adventure where you're like the UK.

1333
01:33:45.159 --> 01:33:48.439
It's cute loco roco or like a
Wattam or something. Yeah, it does

1334
01:33:48.479 --> 01:33:51.800
look like wottom. I think that's
a great way to describe it, and

1335
01:33:51.880 --> 01:33:55.640
it almost plays like that as well. You have two legs, and it's

1336
01:33:55.800 --> 01:34:00.560
very funny when you're swimming and you
want to swim this way, your right

1337
01:34:00.640 --> 01:34:01.960
leg is like this, and when
you want to swim the other way,

1338
01:34:02.039 --> 01:34:05.760
your left leg is like this,
and then your little head just bobs the

1339
01:34:05.800 --> 01:34:10.479
way you want to go. Very
simple animations, but it conveys everything you

1340
01:34:10.520 --> 01:34:14.600
need and so you're just kind of
doing what the townsfolk want. It's it's

1341
01:34:14.600 --> 01:34:16.840
got a really cute premise, like
right as you start, the townspeople are

1342
01:34:16.880 --> 01:34:20.920
like, you know, you're the
monster in the hill and you can't speak.

1343
01:34:20.960 --> 01:34:25.720
You don't have dialogue. Really,
you have some options, but it's

1344
01:34:25.760 --> 01:34:28.760
limited, so a lot of times
you're trying to just convince people you're not

1345
01:34:28.800 --> 01:34:32.479
a monster. It's it's adorable.
I love a good puzzle game like that,

1346
01:34:32.560 --> 01:34:39.920
So Piko Niku very sweet and easy
to play. I'm looking I'm scrolling

1347
01:34:39.920 --> 01:34:43.039
through photos of it here and I
thought I came upon what I thought was

1348
01:34:43.039 --> 01:34:45.720
a screenshot and nope, I'm just
on dev and art and they've done their

1349
01:34:45.720 --> 01:34:49.960
thing with Piku Niku. Get out
of there. All the other fucking pictures

1350
01:34:49.960 --> 01:34:53.760
of Piku Niku. It's just him. He's just a blob of red and

1351
01:34:53.760 --> 01:34:58.079
he's got two red stick legs.
That's one is just that, but like

1352
01:34:58.199 --> 01:35:06.079
super detailed feet better than the one
next to like the Cinnamon role Yeah yeah,

1353
01:35:06.199 --> 01:35:11.680
yeah, Tarantins tarantineus Punk. That
was like a core rox seed stump.

1354
01:35:12.560 --> 01:35:16.199
Yeah it does. Yeah, it's
a very cute game. So I

1355
01:35:16.439 --> 01:35:19.319
encouraged people to play it, especially
if they're looking for a puzzle game on

1356
01:35:19.359 --> 01:35:23.479
sale. Again, it came out
years ago, but it has super good

1357
01:35:23.520 --> 01:35:26.960
reviews on Steam, which is why
I snagged it up. And I thought

1358
01:35:27.000 --> 01:35:30.039
it was great for the I would
say I played it for one flight,

1359
01:35:30.159 --> 01:35:35.399
so not that long six hours.
Um. On my other flight, I

1360
01:35:38.239 --> 01:35:41.520
I played the DLC of Cults of
the Lamb, and of course I played

1361
01:35:41.840 --> 01:35:45.920
um Vampire Survivor. I didn't put
that on my list because we've talked to

1362
01:35:45.960 --> 01:35:49.079
death about Vampire Survivor. It's just
a it's just the ultimate uh flight game.

1363
01:35:49.199 --> 01:35:53.319
It's just super easy pick up podcast
game or yeah, dude, it's

1364
01:35:53.319 --> 01:35:57.920
just like I got an hour to
kill. I'm gonna try and play the

1365
01:35:57.960 --> 01:36:00.760
Wizard again and get as far as
I can. It was great. Um.

1366
01:36:00.960 --> 01:36:04.479
Now I'd like to Can I ask
you guys a question now? Please?

1367
01:36:05.039 --> 01:36:11.239
Nice? Sure? I guess have
you heard or seen footage from the

1368
01:36:11.359 --> 01:36:16.159
Last Case of Benedict Fox. No, I've heard of it. I'm okay,

1369
01:36:16.840 --> 01:36:19.760
Dan, I'm going to describe to
you this game, okay as best

1370
01:36:19.760 --> 01:36:30.680
I can. It is a metroidvania, okay, with two worlds. One

1371
01:36:30.720 --> 01:36:36.239
of them is a horror world of
dead people that you go in to solve

1372
01:36:39.479 --> 01:36:43.800
the real world because there are dead
people and you're solving their murders. Are

1373
01:36:43.800 --> 01:36:45.720
the maps overlaid? Like is there
like you go into a portal, it's

1374
01:36:45.720 --> 01:36:49.119
the light world dark world situation.
Yes, they're not overlaid. The idea

1375
01:36:49.199 --> 01:36:53.239
is that when you go into a
dead person's body, it's like trupe Now

1376
01:36:53.279 --> 01:36:57.439
you're in their dead person zone.
Okay, but it's all metroid vania in

1377
01:36:57.439 --> 01:37:00.319
the sense that, like you can't
get a certain places you like knock on

1378
01:37:00.319 --> 01:37:02.239
a door and it won't open.
It's because you got to go to a

1379
01:37:02.239 --> 01:37:04.319
different way, but to go a
different way, you need to be able

1380
01:37:04.319 --> 01:37:08.159
to probably like triple jump or fly
or whatever, because I don't have those

1381
01:37:08.159 --> 01:37:13.640
skills yet. So you're seeing a
lot of spaces that you are looking at

1382
01:37:13.680 --> 01:37:19.319
but you can't enter. So Metroidvania, I would say horror like it's got

1383
01:37:19.359 --> 01:37:26.239
like a creepy, spooky element.
You are both yourself and you have a

1384
01:37:27.520 --> 01:37:31.720
I don't know oo's ghost that's like
inside of you, and he talks really

1385
01:37:31.760 --> 01:37:36.479
scary, and he's like talking to
you about stuff that's happening, especially when

1386
01:37:36.479 --> 01:37:41.960
you see dead bodies and ship like
that, and he's a crazy Yes,

1387
01:37:42.479 --> 01:37:44.880
it's like your guide, but I
don't know if he's good or bad.

1388
01:37:44.920 --> 01:37:49.279
We don't know. They haven't really
disguised them really discussed that Three. You're

1389
01:37:49.319 --> 01:37:54.640
trying to get into certain spaces and
it's key based, and then it turns

1390
01:37:54.680 --> 01:38:00.880
out that it's kind of like miss
and you need certain keys to get into

1391
01:38:00.880 --> 01:38:04.119
certain locks, and you need to
be able to alter the keys in unique

1392
01:38:04.119 --> 01:38:13.039
ways to be able to solve these
puzzles to progress the game. Is it

1393
01:38:13.159 --> 01:38:19.720
good? I think there's things about
it I really like. I really like

1394
01:38:19.800 --> 01:38:25.079
the premise. I think it's a
fascinating concept of a universe to have like

1395
01:38:25.159 --> 01:38:30.760
dual worlds, a live world and
dead people world. I love horror elements,

1396
01:38:30.800 --> 01:38:32.640
you know that. I'm like stoked
about the horror aspect of it makes

1397
01:38:32.640 --> 01:38:35.760
it really juicy and interesting. I
want to know who's who murdered these people.

1398
01:38:36.079 --> 01:38:40.520
Also, as you like uncover more
shit about them, you see like

1399
01:38:40.560 --> 01:38:44.399
their ghosts in the real world doing
things that they were doing. You know,

1400
01:38:44.680 --> 01:38:47.359
Okay, there's a shower scene,
you'll see nothing, but like there's

1401
01:38:47.359 --> 01:38:55.800
a shower scene. You see the
silhouette and is that and you get to

1402
01:38:55.800 --> 01:39:00.159
like learn more about them. The
upgrade system is fucking wild. It's tattoos.

1403
01:39:00.279 --> 01:39:02.199
So you go up to this tattoo
lady and every time you're like,

1404
01:39:02.279 --> 01:39:06.880
I want to be able to butt
stomp so that I can get through loose

1405
01:39:06.960 --> 01:39:12.399
ground, she tattoos something on your
arms, and so by the end of

1406
01:39:12.399 --> 01:39:15.000
the game you like covered in tattoos. That's like you can see it like

1407
01:39:15.039 --> 01:39:18.159
in the gameplay, like as you're
running around, Yeah, you're acquiring inc

1408
01:39:18.199 --> 01:39:21.560
throughout the game, so as you're
like doing stuff and achieving things and killing

1409
01:39:21.600 --> 01:39:26.359
monsters, and the monsters are scary. You acquire ink and then you use

1410
01:39:26.399 --> 01:39:30.039
that to like inc up say,
I'm looking at it now, it's neat.

1411
01:39:30.079 --> 01:39:33.760
Now. My issue is as a
platformer, I found the running,

1412
01:39:33.920 --> 01:39:40.119
jumping, and combat clunky, and
I find that unacceptable for a metroid Vania

1413
01:39:40.199 --> 01:39:43.119
game. If you're going to sell
me a metroid Vania, it needs to

1414
01:39:43.119 --> 01:39:47.920
have really responsive jumping, dodging and
movement. And I found the whole thing

1415
01:39:48.079 --> 01:39:55.680
just a little God damn you.
I thought you said that Hollow Knight wasn't

1416
01:39:55.680 --> 01:40:00.319
good looking. That's totally different.
Everyone knows that plays like a fucking dream.

1417
01:40:00.359 --> 01:40:04.159
It's one of the most responsive,
goddamn games out there. He could

1418
01:40:04.159 --> 01:40:11.000
be a smash character. Yes,
yeah, Look, we're not here to

1419
01:40:11.039 --> 01:40:14.039
talk about holiday. You're always bringing
up Hollo at Night. You started it.

1420
01:40:15.000 --> 01:40:18.640
The case of Benedict Fox is an
interesting concept where they basically took three

1421
01:40:18.920 --> 01:40:24.159
totally different games mash them together.
It does work. I do think the

1422
01:40:24.199 --> 01:40:29.159
mash is interesting and I would love
to like extend the interest of this game

1423
01:40:29.199 --> 01:40:33.520
to anyone who loves trying like mishmashes
of games. Again, remember Cold to

1424
01:40:33.520 --> 01:40:36.239
the Lamb is a mishmash, right. You get to build a world,

1425
01:40:36.319 --> 01:40:43.840
but you're also doing runs. It
also had fishing for some reason. This

1426
01:40:43.920 --> 01:40:48.359
game is very similar. It's trying
a lot of new things. The look

1427
01:40:48.359 --> 01:40:54.079
on my fucking face when they were
like, oh no, this box needs

1428
01:40:54.159 --> 01:41:00.239
keys that are equal to a number, and I have keys that are worth

1429
01:41:00.319 --> 01:41:03.279
one hundred, one and ten and
the number is like eighteen ninety nine,

1430
01:41:03.319 --> 01:41:06.840
and so I was like, I
had to make a key that's carry the

1431
01:41:06.880 --> 01:41:11.479
one and I was like, do
it. I have a piece of paper

1432
01:41:12.760 --> 01:41:17.960
filled with notes home now it's too
blown out, but like it's filled with

1433
01:41:18.199 --> 01:41:26.439
notes and little squares and circles and
lines of all the different things I needed

1434
01:41:26.479 --> 01:41:30.800
to know to get into these different
doors and solve these puzzles. So it's

1435
01:41:30.800 --> 01:41:35.760
a Thinkum, it's absolutely like a
platform or puzzle and there's combat with scary

1436
01:41:36.000 --> 01:41:41.079
monsters that are scary as hell.
It has all the makings of a good

1437
01:41:41.159 --> 01:41:44.039
game, but because it's a bit
clunky, I can't, like one hundred

1438
01:41:44.039 --> 01:41:46.439
percent get behind it. I wasn't
stoked with the combat system, and I

1439
01:41:46.439 --> 01:41:51.600
also found it extraordinarily difficult for a
puzzle game. For people who like to

1440
01:41:51.640 --> 01:41:57.600
think and solve things, They're in
for a difficult time when you have three

1441
01:41:57.680 --> 01:42:01.720
monsters that are all coming at you
and you only have like a little shiv

1442
01:42:01.840 --> 01:42:05.439
knife. You do have a gun, but the bullets are made out of

1443
01:42:05.520 --> 01:42:09.920
attacked juice. So you attack them, it fills up your bullet. You

1444
01:42:09.960 --> 01:42:12.319
get one bullet, and then you
have to attack a bunch that you can

1445
01:42:12.359 --> 01:42:16.039
fill up your bullet and shoot again. Somebody lacking in the thinky and the

1446
01:42:16.079 --> 01:42:19.079
Dewey a little bit. It's trying
to do both. I think it's a

1447
01:42:19.199 --> 01:42:23.479
very fascinating concept, and I do
encourage people to try it, especially if

1448
01:42:23.479 --> 01:42:26.640
they liked all the makings that I
said to you. But I don't think

1449
01:42:26.640 --> 01:42:30.439
it's perfect. I think it has
has some issues with the way that you're

1450
01:42:30.640 --> 01:42:34.920
moving around, and I also think
it has some weird issues with explaining things.

1451
01:42:35.199 --> 01:42:39.680
For example, the game never at
one point said that, like,

1452
01:42:40.439 --> 01:42:43.720
the purple stuff is poisoned, so
I was just like running around and immediately

1453
01:42:43.800 --> 01:42:47.000
jumped into poison and killed myself.
Normally it gives you like a hint that's

1454
01:42:47.039 --> 01:42:55.119
like purple stuff is bad. I
will say I think they have a little

1455
01:42:55.199 --> 01:42:58.359
river of it earlier, and it
singes me. But that's not enough for

1456
01:42:58.399 --> 01:43:01.720
me. I wanted like a sign
or something that's the best purple stuff in

1457
01:43:01.720 --> 01:43:13.640
a game. I gotta think.
Was Mike nodding weirdly. I don't know.

1458
01:43:14.359 --> 01:43:19.279
Oh God, damn it, I
say, it's almost like there's something

1459
01:43:19.279 --> 01:43:27.279
that you got to talk about.
What's purple in it? Didn't say shit?

1460
01:43:28.319 --> 01:43:32.239
I know you. The main boss
in Zelda is like a is a

1461
01:43:32.319 --> 01:43:38.279
kumquat an eggplant? Yeah, thank
you, That's what I wanted. I

1462
01:43:38.319 --> 01:43:44.880
was like, what's that purple vegetable
fucking called? I'm trying to think purple's

1463
01:43:44.960 --> 01:43:48.199
usually bad, right games? Yeah, egg planting Inventure Island kills you.

1464
01:43:49.279 --> 01:43:53.880
Um, what else is notoriously purple
in a video game? WALLAUI do you?

1465
01:43:53.960 --> 01:43:56.239
Well, he's great, but I
think some people see him as a

1466
01:43:56.279 --> 01:44:01.439
heel. I don't know why,
but um, other purple you gotta be

1467
01:44:01.479 --> 01:44:09.279
famous purple characters, your famous every
colored characters? Who's purple? Grimace doesn't

1468
01:44:09.279 --> 01:44:12.199
really have a lot of time in
the sun and video games. Purple isn't

1469
01:44:12.279 --> 01:44:20.640
super popular. There's probably like some
purple Pokemon or something isn't what's purple?

1470
01:44:21.640 --> 01:44:25.479
I don't know. I can't think
one of the links in Four Swords Adventures,

1471
01:44:26.119 --> 01:44:29.560
Lumpy Space princesses purple. I think
they made a game about it,

1472
01:44:29.600 --> 01:44:33.119
blue, green, red, purple
in four Swords. Yeah, playing that

1473
01:44:33.279 --> 01:44:35.680
right now? Is there a purple, blue, green, red, I'm

1474
01:44:35.720 --> 01:44:41.239
red yellow. There's no yellow.
M yeah. I think it's like a

1475
01:44:41.319 --> 01:44:45.000
pink I don't know whatever, not
a lot of purple. Fun fact,

1476
01:44:45.359 --> 01:44:50.399
that's why Twitch's color is purple.
So when Twitch originally was justin TV and

1477
01:44:50.680 --> 01:44:54.760
the logo was gray and like a
TV because that makes sense, it was

1478
01:44:54.880 --> 01:44:57.920
like a TV old school TV screen. When they went to Twitch, they

1479
01:44:58.520 --> 01:45:03.199
put up on a board every major
brand that was in the gaming sphere.

1480
01:45:04.319 --> 01:45:10.800
So YouTube very synonymous with red um. There were like companies that had a

1481
01:45:10.840 --> 01:45:15.640
lot of green. Microsoft is green, Blues was very popular, nothing in

1482
01:45:15.680 --> 01:45:20.239
purple. So we made the logo
super purple to be distinct and iconic in

1483
01:45:20.239 --> 01:45:25.439
the space. And the immediate reaction
streamer reaction was we hate it. Really

1484
01:45:25.760 --> 01:45:28.880
yeah, they hated it. It's
pretty synonymous now now it's fine, but

1485
01:45:28.920 --> 01:45:32.239
at the time it was spicy.
I always think when i'm like color coating,

1486
01:45:32.239 --> 01:45:36.359
like ATMI cables or something, that
PlayStation's always blue, Switch is always

1487
01:45:36.399 --> 01:45:41.359
red, yes, and Xbox is
green, and like Switch is right,

1488
01:45:41.399 --> 01:45:43.880
guy. I feel like the Nintendo
logo, it's it's always been that red

1489
01:45:43.880 --> 01:45:47.880
from like the NES you know,
that logo was always red. What was

1490
01:45:48.479 --> 01:45:53.159
multicolored? Sixty four was kind of
like green was the dominant one. The

1491
01:45:53.279 --> 01:45:56.960
PS two, the fucking box was
the most blue box that's ever existed.

1492
01:45:57.000 --> 01:46:00.600
So I feel like logo itself was
ringed in that orange yellow stuff. Yeah,

1493
01:46:00.840 --> 01:46:03.239
the boxes. I'm looking at my
PS two right now. No,

1494
01:46:03.319 --> 01:46:06.720
the PS two, all the two
blue? Yeah, yeah, they were

1495
01:46:06.720 --> 01:46:10.560
always yeah, that was always blue. Yeah, rad is the dominant one

1496
01:46:10.560 --> 01:46:15.239
in the PS logo. Um,
I think they kind of were fairly blue

1497
01:46:15.600 --> 01:46:20.119
for the blue light on the wasn't
it purple? Well there's indigo, there's

1498
01:46:20.159 --> 01:46:27.720
spice and orange and plat orange right
there you got oh you got a GameCube

1499
01:46:28.199 --> 01:46:33.279
indigo? Yeah, Classic Dreamcast is
orange, I mean white. But like

1500
01:46:33.439 --> 01:46:41.600
you know, if I associated with
the color orange, serious acts black or

1501
01:46:41.640 --> 01:46:45.640
white, I still think green.
Mine is all yellow because it's Bojangles.

1502
01:46:47.159 --> 01:46:53.359
Can the most iconic colors say that
and be completely truthful? Is looking at

1503
01:46:53.399 --> 01:47:00.199
it right now? Just looking directly
anyway. The case of Benedict foxes a

1504
01:47:00.359 --> 01:47:02.920
very interesting premise, and I do
encourage people to play it. And if

1505
01:47:02.960 --> 01:47:06.239
you have game Pass, good news. It's on game Pass, so it's

1506
01:47:09.239 --> 01:47:16.399
available right now to try so.
And I didn't pay for it wown past.

1507
01:47:17.000 --> 01:47:19.840
I know I can't. I oh, I know I can't. You

1508
01:47:19.840 --> 01:47:25.279
should go buy Red Fall. I
do it all the time. You catched

1509
01:47:25.319 --> 01:47:28.039
it. That's hot. I can't
believe you'd encourage me to play a game

1510
01:47:28.079 --> 01:47:32.039
that you hate. So you should. I said you could. I'm encouraging

1511
01:47:32.720 --> 01:47:40.840
I think you could. You're kind
of suggesting, like if I were to

1512
01:47:40.880 --> 01:47:45.640
say, you know, like you
could slap your mama. You're not.

1513
01:47:46.319 --> 01:47:51.239
I'm assuming I'm not, but I
feel like it's it's that's right. You're

1514
01:47:51.239 --> 01:47:54.479
like assuming that I'm telling you to
do it, but I'm not saying you

1515
01:47:54.520 --> 01:47:58.399
should. I'm just saying you could. You're incepting. Yeah, thank you,

1516
01:47:58.960 --> 01:48:03.199
I've incepted it all right. When
to emails, Yeah, let's do

1517
01:48:03.279 --> 01:48:12.600
it, bay, So you can
have that sound bite for free, sick

1518
01:48:13.119 --> 01:48:15.239
okay. As usually, you can
read into fire skate Cast at gmail dot

1519
01:48:15.239 --> 01:48:21.159
com for any questions, comments,
concerns, corrections about Cleopatra Medusa. Let's

1520
01:48:21.199 --> 01:48:28.439
hear those Medusa Cleopatra mix up emails
are historical expertise, which is rarely called

1521
01:48:28.439 --> 01:48:31.800
in the question. But please rest
assured I will not read those corrections.

1522
01:48:31.920 --> 01:48:36.279
Um. But yeah, as usual, you can send in questions Mary Well

1523
01:48:36.520 --> 01:48:40.319
and then also worth noting, we're
going to keep it to one tonight.

1524
01:48:40.399 --> 01:48:44.199
Fairly short. We all have a
crazy week. It's fairly we went long.

1525
01:48:44.279 --> 01:48:49.279
We had a good pad. The
email section shorter than usually. Wow,

1526
01:48:50.039 --> 01:48:54.960
somebody that wanted to look through the
emails. That's not true. All

1527
01:48:55.000 --> 01:49:00.319
these fine people spent their time.
He really want to talk about the work

1528
01:49:00.399 --> 01:49:08.439
I put into this podcast? Do
you do you want to do publicly?

1529
01:49:09.600 --> 01:49:18.119
That a weird exchange? That was
I was like threatened and then maybe it

1530
01:49:18.199 --> 01:49:24.720
was hot. I don't know.
Most threats are hot, and most hot

1531
01:49:24.760 --> 01:49:28.560
stuff is a threat. Um.
I guess that's true. Mary, do

1532
01:49:28.560 --> 01:49:31.760
you want to read? Hey,
Mary, Mike and Dan. I have

1533
01:49:31.800 --> 01:49:36.640
suffered with anxiety for more years than
I care to remember. I never used

1534
01:49:36.640 --> 01:49:40.760
to be able to get very far
in any horror game as a result.

1535
01:49:41.000 --> 01:49:44.760
Then I discovered a little series of
videos on GameSpot called Resident Knevil and gave

1536
01:49:44.800 --> 01:49:47.439
them a watch. Marian Mike inspired
me to give them another chance and fight

1537
01:49:47.479 --> 01:49:51.159
through the Fear, and now I've
completed them all, all horror games.

1538
01:49:54.960 --> 01:49:59.279
I still have trouble with Dead Space, but I'm currently two chapters into the

1539
01:49:59.319 --> 01:50:02.079
remake. Wow, I have to
play it in short bursts because my anxiety

1540
01:50:02.119 --> 01:50:05.640
really doesn't like that one too much. Oh my god. Same to my

1541
01:50:05.760 --> 01:50:10.680
question. Have you ever found a
game or series of games just too creepy

1542
01:50:10.800 --> 01:50:14.279
or flat out scary to finish?
You're probably all a lot braver than I

1543
01:50:14.319 --> 01:50:15.760
am, but I'd love to know
if there are any. Thanks so much

1544
01:50:15.760 --> 01:50:18.760
for all your videos and podcasts over
the years. I fire Escape on constant

1545
01:50:18.760 --> 01:50:23.760
loop pretty much as it makes me
laugh. Oh and congrats Mike on your

1546
01:50:23.800 --> 01:50:28.000
engagement and good luck with the wedding. Best wishes. This is Lee Essex,

1547
01:50:28.199 --> 01:50:32.399
England. No, that is not
his name. His name is Lee

1548
01:50:32.520 --> 01:50:42.600
Essex. Comma, England's Dan Kansas
checking the hotel. It's me Mary Ohio.

1549
01:50:42.840 --> 01:50:45.039
Oh my god, that's actually such
a good name, Marry Ohio.

1550
01:50:48.039 --> 01:50:54.079
Um, it sounds like a what
does this sound like? It sounds like

1551
01:50:54.119 --> 01:50:59.399
a government program, Mary Ohio,
Mary Ohio, I know, I will,

1552
01:51:01.439 --> 01:51:06.520
I know. I mean, that's
a boring answer. I don't think

1553
01:51:06.560 --> 01:51:12.600
I've ever stopped playing a series because
it was too scary my anxiety. Honestly,

1554
01:51:12.720 --> 01:51:16.199
horror, I guess the more interesting
aspect of that is horror has always

1555
01:51:16.239 --> 01:51:19.600
been really good for my anxiety.
Back when I had bad back, my

1556
01:51:19.640 --> 01:51:24.800
anxiety was really bad. Thankfully,
nowadays it's I really don't have much of

1557
01:51:24.840 --> 01:51:30.079
it, or the anxiety I do
feel is under control. Horror has always

1558
01:51:30.159 --> 01:51:34.159
been a place I go where I'm
not anxious at all because the stuff I'm

1559
01:51:34.199 --> 01:51:40.000
seeing, it's it's a good way
for me to recognize that there's anxiety in

1560
01:51:40.119 --> 01:51:44.399
the situation, but like also recognized
it's not happening to me. Everything's fine

1561
01:51:44.479 --> 01:51:47.000
with me. These people are fucked
and it's great. That's the point,

1562
01:51:47.039 --> 01:51:49.720
and it's fake, you know.
So it's like you can safely like in

1563
01:51:49.760 --> 01:51:54.960
the same reason like I have rippling
anxiety have my entire adult life, but

1564
01:51:55.079 --> 01:51:58.439
like that's why I like jumping out
of planes and you know, writing roller

1565
01:51:58.479 --> 01:52:00.840
coasters and stuff, because like it's
like, Okay, well, no,

1566
01:52:00.920 --> 01:52:02.479
you've got a parachute, you've got
this thing, You've got this harness that's

1567
01:52:02.520 --> 01:52:05.319
keeping you in, Like it gives
you that excitement feeling, but like you

1568
01:52:05.439 --> 01:52:09.960
know you're going to be safe you
know, like my anxiety has never I've

1569
01:52:10.000 --> 01:52:14.159
never had like actual anxiety the way
I describe it with like a video game

1570
01:52:14.239 --> 01:52:16.199
necessarily, well, I guess sometimes
like with I got like a punch out

1571
01:52:16.319 --> 01:52:18.600
or something. I've definitely had my
heart ray go up with like for the

1572
01:52:18.640 --> 01:52:24.880
speed Run stuff. But like a
horror game, I don't think I've really

1573
01:52:25.000 --> 01:52:33.039
had that. I cannot finish Amnesia. Oh, it's the scariest game in

1574
01:52:33.159 --> 01:52:39.439
the world. I believe, I
feel strongly about it. There is a

1575
01:52:39.560 --> 01:52:45.439
combination of such incredible build up.
You're reading about this like torturous murderous guy.

1576
01:52:46.079 --> 01:52:51.159
You're going deeper and deeper into this
dungeon. It's getting weirder and worse,

1577
01:52:51.720 --> 01:52:57.239
and you're recognizing though there's like something
fucked going on, and then you

1578
01:52:57.399 --> 01:53:00.680
see it, but you don't see
it because the game is designed in such

1579
01:53:00.680 --> 01:53:04.920
a way that the enemy in Amnesia
distorts your camera, fucks up your vision,

1580
01:53:05.439 --> 01:53:11.199
and messes with your audio. You
hear what I would equate to teeth

1581
01:53:11.239 --> 01:53:19.520
grinding when you see it, and
it's so awful audibly visually that you feel

1582
01:53:19.600 --> 01:53:24.119
the need to run away. You
do not attack this boss. In fact,

1583
01:53:24.199 --> 01:53:28.199
in Amnesia, you have no ability
to attack. You can only run

1584
01:53:28.279 --> 01:53:32.199
and hide. It is fucking terrifying. And I quit. I've quit.

1585
01:53:32.520 --> 01:53:34.960
I've quit that game like probably five
times. I just can't. I can't

1586
01:53:35.000 --> 01:53:38.319
go through it. I can't get
through it. It's so effective. It's

1587
01:53:38.399 --> 01:53:41.239
incredibly effective. I remember when I
was playing at the first time, it

1588
01:53:41.359 --> 01:53:44.720
was like twenty eleven, twenty twelve
or whatever. I was a plan at

1589
01:53:44.840 --> 01:53:46.880
night, all the lights off,
you know. And I'm normally not a

1590
01:53:47.000 --> 01:53:50.479
huge like like jump scare, you
know, a horror game type guy.

1591
01:53:50.720 --> 01:53:54.319
But I was so just like,
what does this fucking thing look like?

1592
01:53:54.439 --> 01:53:57.600
I was hiding under every fucking table
holding that lantern. I remember at one

1593
01:53:57.680 --> 01:54:00.680
point my girlfriend at the time walks
in. She came out of bedroom and

1594
01:54:00.760 --> 01:54:03.439
it was like, hey, she
was about to say something. I just

1595
01:54:03.520 --> 01:54:05.760
like it was super like, Oh
my god, just freaked the buck out

1596
01:54:05.760 --> 01:54:08.800
of the Yale, just like,
what the fuck this happened? No,

1597
01:54:09.119 --> 01:54:13.399
I was so on it. No
surprises. Yeah, that game is a

1598
01:54:13.600 --> 01:54:17.239
genuine terror, and I believe in
my core. I just don't think I

1599
01:54:17.359 --> 01:54:20.920
want to finish it because it's so
scary. So that is the genuine answer

1600
01:54:20.960 --> 01:54:26.279
to your question. Other games that
I don't think I would have finished without

1601
01:54:26.359 --> 01:54:31.039
Mike. I do not think that
I would have been able to finish probably

1602
01:54:31.079 --> 01:54:36.720
Resident Evil remake. And I don't
think I would have finished Dead Space without

1603
01:54:36.800 --> 01:54:42.159
you. That game is very scary
and without like you, you know,

1604
01:54:42.760 --> 01:54:45.840
being this cheeky dude and being silly
like you kind of added some brevity to

1605
01:54:46.000 --> 01:54:49.239
it. You were with me.
I had you by my side. It

1606
01:54:49.359 --> 01:54:51.439
made it a lot easier. I
don't think I would have done that without

1607
01:54:51.439 --> 01:54:57.680
you. And I also think Silent
Hill too Silent Hill original actually with Nina,

1608
01:54:57.800 --> 01:55:00.600
I don't I don't think I would
have played that game without her.

1609
01:55:00.680 --> 01:55:03.800
I needed someone with me. The
thing with dead Space like the thing I'm

1610
01:55:03.840 --> 01:55:09.439
not surprised that Lee was saying with
dead Space is because that is a very

1611
01:55:09.520 --> 01:55:14.119
specific type of horror that is trying
to reflect the anxious mind of a guy

1612
01:55:14.600 --> 01:55:18.079
losing his mind his mind throughout a
trilogy. And the music that Jason Graves

1613
01:55:18.159 --> 01:55:23.439
does is like scratching trash can lids
to be to make you think, you're

1614
01:55:24.279 --> 01:55:28.600
like, I'm not equating the kind
of anxiety I think they want you to

1615
01:55:28.640 --> 01:55:31.079
feel in the game with actual anxiety. But again, I'm not surprised.

1616
01:55:31.119 --> 01:55:36.560
That is the kind of game that
does it for me. The I found

1617
01:55:36.600 --> 01:55:41.840
the Outlast games, especially the first
one, to be pretty scary. It

1618
01:55:42.000 --> 01:55:45.159
was that simple mechanic of being able
to look over your shoulder while you're getting

1619
01:55:45.239 --> 01:55:48.680
chased. That really fucked. That
was a really brilliant mechanic. To add

1620
01:55:48.720 --> 01:55:51.640
to that. The second few finder
stuff too, like the camera stuff like

1621
01:55:51.640 --> 01:55:56.000
that was all very effective. They
did that thing in the first one,

1622
01:55:56.199 --> 01:56:00.520
which all took place in an asylum, and then the second one I didn't

1623
01:56:00.560 --> 01:56:04.319
finish. I didn't like it as
much. But the first one they did

1624
01:56:04.399 --> 01:56:11.000
that thing that Reson Eval seven did
where you know where the basement is and

1625
01:56:11.079 --> 01:56:13.319
you hear shit going on down there, but you're just like, I'm not

1626
01:56:13.680 --> 01:56:16.319
going down there until I absolutely have
to. And then you see a note

1627
01:56:16.520 --> 01:56:19.560
and Outlast next to the power box
saying I think there was a fuse in

1628
01:56:19.600 --> 01:56:25.359
the basement. Yeah, it's not
the actual going down, it's the anticipation

1629
01:56:25.439 --> 01:56:29.960
of it. I will never forget. It was probably the best VR experience

1630
01:56:30.000 --> 01:56:34.680
I've ever had. Was I played
through seven going down into the basement and

1631
01:56:34.800 --> 01:56:39.079
seven well, yeah, and it
was so cool and so scary that,

1632
01:56:39.159 --> 01:56:43.479
like I remember that was Bianco was
watching me, and she usually likes watching

1633
01:56:43.479 --> 01:56:45.560
when you play Resonaval hasn't played a
ton of him herself, And in that

1634
01:56:45.720 --> 01:56:48.439
moment, I like had her put
on the headset and I was like,

1635
01:56:48.520 --> 01:56:50.840
yeah, okay, this seems like
a scary part. Let's just you know,

1636
01:56:51.119 --> 01:56:55.920
see how effective the VR is here, and her just like she stood

1637
01:56:55.960 --> 01:56:58.119
at the top of the stairs for
I don't remember how long it was,

1638
01:56:58.159 --> 01:57:00.159
but it seems like an eternity,
and like I saw her chest just like

1639
01:57:00.279 --> 01:57:03.560
going in and I was just like
staring down the stairs and I put my

1640
01:57:03.640 --> 01:57:05.920
hand on her chest and her heart
was just beating like a drum. Just

1641
01:57:06.000 --> 01:57:10.520
the idea of going down there in
VR, and it's like, holy shit,

1642
01:57:10.720 --> 01:57:14.359
that is effective as hell, like
and invest use of VR I think

1643
01:57:14.359 --> 01:57:19.760
i've ever seen. Yeah, Because
then even later on, when um Jacob

1644
01:57:19.880 --> 01:57:25.159
is chasing you around upstairs, that
gets super fucking scary, yeah, Or

1645
01:57:25.319 --> 01:57:30.119
when you're in the fishing shack with
Marguerite, that's more of the like,

1646
01:57:30.319 --> 01:57:33.720
oh god, I haven't gotten far
enough marg. At some point, I'm

1647
01:57:33.760 --> 01:57:41.880
really I set it aside to go
back and replay village in VR. I

1648
01:57:42.000 --> 01:57:47.600
think that just Benevento with the Fetus. I just don't think that I could

1649
01:57:47.640 --> 01:57:53.800
do that, and like imagine like
trying to get into a locker. Yeah,

1650
01:57:55.680 --> 01:58:00.079
like crawling under the bed. Oh
that's too much, that's too much.

1651
01:58:00.399 --> 01:58:05.079
Yeah. I think with VR is
like it so it sucks that like

1652
01:58:05.199 --> 01:58:09.000
we can think of like how good
these things would be, but it is

1653
01:58:09.039 --> 01:58:11.960
still such a hassle that Like,
as I'm playing No Man Sky, I

1654
01:58:12.119 --> 01:58:15.640
keep thinking that, like my PSVR
two is sitting right there, it is

1655
01:58:15.720 --> 01:58:18.640
compatible. I can put this on, And I've had the thought while playing

1656
01:58:18.680 --> 01:58:21.319
it, like it wouldn't be cool, just like be like I'm actually flying

1657
01:58:21.359 --> 01:58:24.920
around in space whatever. It's like, yeah, but I don't want to

1658
01:58:24.920 --> 01:58:26.920
put that thing on. Yeah,
you know, like VR is still at

1659
01:58:26.960 --> 01:58:30.800
that point where we're getting better,
but it's still just not worth it.

1660
01:58:31.399 --> 01:58:36.600
Yeah. Yeah, but the Outlast
games, I remember two was messing with

1661
01:58:36.680 --> 01:58:39.880
me early on, but I don't
remember liking it nearly as much. But

1662
01:58:40.039 --> 01:58:45.159
yeah, I would say if there's
like a game that it was probably like

1663
01:58:45.439 --> 01:58:54.159
anxiety due to mechanics or like a
something that I was dreading doing in the

1664
01:58:54.279 --> 01:58:57.279
game itself, rather than like a
horror game that really messed me up.

1665
01:58:58.000 --> 01:59:00.920
I used to feel that way about
like certain all the dungeons when I was

1666
01:59:00.000 --> 01:59:03.560
younger, Like the Water Temple just
gave me anxiety until I grew up in

1667
01:59:04.319 --> 01:59:09.800
the Water Temple. Yeah, I'm
trying to think of like games when I

1668
01:59:09.920 --> 01:59:12.680
was a kid where I was just
like, nope, too scary for me,

1669
01:59:13.239 --> 01:59:16.920
Like I'm not dealing with that well, and this isn't like things that

1670
01:59:17.000 --> 01:59:20.279
shouldn't be scary but do terrify me. I think we talked about this before.

1671
01:59:21.159 --> 01:59:26.760
The Knights who say knee right,
really the shot where it's like the

1672
01:59:26.840 --> 01:59:34.960
wide shot of them being very tall
in the forest and the Paperboy Burglar Paperboy

1673
01:59:35.039 --> 01:59:40.840
sixty four Ye yeah, man,
the Knights who say knee still did this

1674
01:59:40.960 --> 01:59:43.600
good day? Get me? I
can't laugh in that scene. I'm the

1675
01:59:43.800 --> 01:59:47.720
spiders and Half Life too scared the
shit out of me. The head crabs

1676
01:59:48.079 --> 01:59:54.560
no, like the sand leg Oh
those yeah, they're up very scary.

1677
01:59:54.680 --> 01:59:57.520
But then it's interesting. That's why
that game is so good is because it

1678
01:59:57.600 --> 02:00:01.039
goes from like horror to like friend. You know what's like speaking of bad

1679
02:00:01.199 --> 02:00:08.279
purple stuff and okay creepy okay.
The Shadow Temple in Akarina or the bottom

1680
02:00:08.279 --> 02:00:12.399
of the Well. Genuinely, I've
replayed it recently. It's still the dead

1681
02:00:12.479 --> 02:00:16.800
hand enemy that that blob dude with
like the head with this guy yes,

1682
02:00:17.159 --> 02:00:21.199
yes, in the hands that grab
you and it's and he's like, yeah,

1683
02:00:21.439 --> 02:00:25.640
Zelda is really good and like,
it's not a horror series by any

1684
02:00:25.720 --> 02:00:29.119
means, but when it wants to
be fucked up, like remember the Red

1685
02:00:29.199 --> 02:00:33.399
deads and Windwaker, the ones that
turn like that's horrible. Yeah, it's

1686
02:00:33.439 --> 02:00:42.399
like a itto, what's the manga
artist? Yeah, ginge. I feel

1687
02:00:42.439 --> 02:00:45.640
like Zelda does a lot of that
kind of horror that's like it's like more

1688
02:00:45.760 --> 02:00:49.520
unsettling than Yeah, I don't know, but yeah, the Shadow Temple I

1689
02:00:49.560 --> 02:00:55.960
remember being pretty creepy. That's a
good one. I think there's a lot

1690
02:00:56.159 --> 02:01:02.239
of untapped scary stuff that we'll see
in the future. Um and especially thinking

1691
02:01:02.560 --> 02:01:06.159
that the scariest game I've ever played, Amnesia, is fairly old, I

1692
02:01:06.239 --> 02:01:12.159
think that we have a lot of
work to do to try and genuinely scare

1693
02:01:12.880 --> 02:01:18.279
the bijigs out of people. VR
is one of them. Oh yeah,

1694
02:01:19.359 --> 02:01:27.520
anyway, thank you, Lee,
All right, sure, interview section I'll

1695
02:01:27.560 --> 02:01:30.760
talk more about is that what I
said, I'm tired, said interview.

02:01:30.920 --> 02:01:34.000
I'm tired. Well, now we're
segueing into our new interview. Okay,

1698
02:01:40.600 --> 02:01:45.920
It's such a bad interview. Gone, I've just been trying to really if

sometimes the pursuit of art is drawing. What's your favorite drawing art? Drawing?

1700

Advanced Warse two on the analyt pocket and

1710
02:02:48.359 --> 02:02:54.520
h I'm taking an amtrack and yeah, it's six sixtieth birthday tweet, which

1711
02:02:54.640 --> 02:02:58.479
my happy belated birthday. By the
time, it is. He wanted to

1712
02:02:58.520 --> 02:03:00.520
come up here, and so yeah, lifelong dream and going to Fenway,

1713
02:03:00.720 --> 02:03:04.199
and then we'll spend a couple of
days here in Connecticut before he hits the

1714
02:03:04.199 --> 02:03:06.960
throw back to Kansas. Paul,
Paul, you don't look at day over

1715
02:03:08.079 --> 02:03:15.800
fifty nine now the cigarettes he looks, He looks sixty Fenway hardly, No

02:03:15.920 --> 02:03:20.520
way. Yeah, Faul's gonna come
for me one day. He's gonna is

1717
02:03:20.560 --> 02:03:25.640
that pack of cigarette still the creator
clash is going to be me and you

1718
02:03:25.760 --> 02:03:31.239
would win immediately. He's trying to
punch me. I don't want her to

1719
02:03:31.279 --> 02:03:35.680
punch me like I think he retrieved
the cigarettes last time he was here.

1720
02:03:35.800 --> 02:03:40.800
Damn it. Yeah, I wanted
to smoke him, just to fuck with

1721
02:03:40.880 --> 02:03:44.600
him, just all of them in
your mouth like homework. Wait, we

1722
02:03:44.720 --> 02:03:47.640
talked about when I did that as
a joke in college probably and dinner as

1723
02:03:47.640 --> 02:03:51.479
a joke. I mean I did
it, just smoked a bunch of cigarette,

1724
02:03:51.640 --> 02:03:58.640
put like across my mouth and just
staring. No oh, I vomited

1725
02:03:58.760 --> 02:04:02.279
profusely. But we were on the
front porch at our house senior year,

1726
02:04:03.520 --> 02:04:08.800
and I was bored and drunk,
so I looked over at my friend put

1727
02:04:08.880 --> 02:04:11.720
five cigarettes in my mouth, five
or six and just looked him in the

1728
02:04:11.760 --> 02:04:15.920
eye and inhaled them and smoked them
in like forty seconds while looks at me,

1729
02:04:15.159 --> 02:04:19.800
keeping eye contact the whole time,
somehow not coughing until I started wrenching

1730
02:04:19.960 --> 02:04:24.079
all over the front yard. Every
time. You when I ate a bowl

1731
02:04:24.079 --> 02:04:28.920
of cigarette with milk on it,
what, No, did you think it

1732
02:04:29.039 --> 02:04:30.840
was cereal? No? I was
in high school and I was we had

1733
02:04:30.840 --> 02:04:33.960
to make PSA's and mine was an
anti smoking one, and I did this

1734
02:04:34.079 --> 02:04:38.600
like serious black and white thing of
like you think it's just one cigarette,

1735
02:04:38.720 --> 02:04:41.960
but then it turns into this and
you just show somebody like chain smoking and

1736
02:04:42.000 --> 02:04:44.600
stuff, and then before you know
it, it's this. And I just

1737
02:04:44.720 --> 02:04:48.880
shot myself on my deck fucking with
a bowl like all cigarettes, fresh cigarettes

1738
02:04:48.920 --> 02:04:56.239
and milking. And your dad's in
the background smoking. He had started smoking

1739
02:04:56.319 --> 02:04:59.640
yet, he wasn't forty yet.
He started smoking at forty a giant spoon

1740
02:05:00.920 --> 02:05:08.199
like eating the cigarettes. Yeah,
it was what grades you get? Uh?

1741
02:05:08.439 --> 02:05:11.000
Oh? I got got great grades
and video until I got kicked out

1742
02:05:11.039 --> 02:05:15.880
the class. But I graduated business
school really good grades. I haven't watched

1743
02:05:15.880 --> 02:05:20.439
any Nathan in a long time.
Well, since you were graduated school with

1744
02:05:20.640 --> 02:05:27.319
really good just a bunch of season
c minuses, it's passing, it's all

1745
02:05:27.439 --> 02:05:34.720
matters. Yep, you're good.
D's get degrees too. That does rhyme.

1746
02:05:35.000 --> 02:05:40.560
But I just don't want to hire
someone who got d's. Well there,

1747
02:05:40.960 --> 02:05:42.800
I don't think. Can you get
it? I got DS, I

1748
02:05:42.880 --> 02:05:45.159
got F side. Just fuck,
it's as long as you get the paper,

1749
02:05:45.239 --> 02:05:53.119
you're fine. I was summa cum
laude. Does that mean graduated with

1750
02:05:53.239 --> 02:06:00.680
honors? Probably from my Harvard of
Journalism school, know, the Harvard of

1751
02:06:00.920 --> 02:06:03.479
Is that what he says? Hard? I forget what you Harvard of Communications.

1752
02:06:04.960 --> 02:06:08.880
You texted me that the guy.
I know, but because I heard

1753
02:06:08.920 --> 02:06:12.039
you say it before, because people
do say it, but I don't.

1754
02:06:12.119 --> 02:06:15.239
Oh yeah people, people, Oh
yeah, how you dec I'm not saying

1755
02:06:15.239 --> 02:06:18.720
it's the Harvard Communications that I would
do. People. Some people would say

1756
02:06:19.279 --> 02:06:23.880
that it's the Harvard of Communication.
I don't necessarily agree, but many people

1757
02:06:23.920 --> 02:06:26.239
can say, yeah, I don't
like the New York Times called it,

1758
02:06:26.319 --> 02:06:29.039
but take that with a grain of
salt. I guess it's just the paper

1759
02:06:29.119 --> 02:06:36.279
of record, all right. Fire
Escape Com, Firescape merch dot Com,

1760
