I'll be the 5 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:52.960 blue turtle that some people have problems with, but you gotta keep me around 6 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:56.479 anyway, because I keep the pipes running, uh, and I'm just chilling 7 00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.799 in the sewers. We got co Captain of the Ship X newsman, our 8 00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:03.840 own April O'Neil, and you know you'd love to see him in a yellow 9 00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.879 jumpsuit, Jeff Grub. I mean for audio listeners, who's to say I'm 10 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.560 not already wearing one? And just shout out to the Pope for that, 11 00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:12.079 for that honor, by the way, I really appreciate it. Yes, 12 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.799 yes, we didn't speci that. We didn't specify which god it could be 13 00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:21.319 one or all of them? You know. Yes, Shiva the Destroyer of 14 00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:26.159 Worlds with Oppenheimer picked us next. Ess actually the only thing they agree on, 15 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:32.519 yes exactly. I'm gonna ask if we could put I'm gonna ask him 16 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:34.760 if we can put this on a shirt. He'll give me a face. 17 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.519 It was like, I don't know, dad, but we'll do it anyway. 18 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:46.680 Anyway. Oh, that's so good. We'll do it anyway. The 19 00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:51.640 the Casey Jones of the team, Jeff Backlar, Hey, that's me. 20 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:57.920 Casey Jones is my spirit animal. I'm really proud for that comparison, So 21 00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.879 thank you, Jan. He likes hockey. You like hockey, you know, 22 00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:04.959 well, I'm not. I'm not sure if he likes hockey. He 23 00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.520 just prefers a stick at the weapons in his toolbox. Yeah, in his 24 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:13.680 golf bag, I believe is how he fashions his collection of weapons. But 25 00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:19.080 I have a really deep cut about Casey Jones and Ninja turtles. But let's 26 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:22.280 introduce our special guest before we get to it. All right, we have 27 00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:27.960 our dearest friend, our special friend, the Outback Steakhouse of Games Media, 28 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:34.719 Bailey Byers. Thank you so much. I'm glad that that one was me. 29 00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.360 That's great. It had to be. There was no one. Oh 30 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:43.800 look at that proof. Jeff mccars holding a Casey Jones mask in a box 31 00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.240 right now. Yeah, you're supposed to take this out. I would imagine 32 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:50.240 at some point, but not just to scare your children at night when you 33 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.120 go to visit them. Yeah, imagine just waking up your child wearing this 34 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:57.280 mask and nothing else exactly like, we gotta go, we gotta go, 35 00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.199 get into the woods. We're going. Yeah, that's that's you know how 36 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.919 my family treated me? For sure? What actually, I take the outback 37 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.879 steakhouse of games media. I take that back, Bailey. I'm sorry you 38 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.080 are. I have never even been to Australia. To be fair, nither 39 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:16.159 has out back. That's true. Okay, next time in La. Next 40 00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:20.719 time when we're in La, not only do we have to go to Bukadibepo 41 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.879 to get a fun photo together, but we also have to go to an 42 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:30.080 outback steakhouse. Let's go. I'm so excited back that much blooming onion. 43 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:34.919 But Bailey, as the you know, as as a site's dearest friend, 44 00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.000 you are also my my nemesis. So I think you are like the shredder 45 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:42.560 of a giant bomb. I'll take it. Yeah that's fair. Yeah, 46 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:45.759 yeah, it works for me here Leonardo and she shredded. That makes a 47 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:49.240 lot of sense. The way you guys were just ribbing each other, cussing 48 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:54.639 each other, out, yeah, exactly, throwing stuff on the side as 49 00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:59.000 soon as the cameras are off and everything. The turtles do need to curse 50 00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:00.919 more. I gotta say, for a bunch of fourteen to sixteen year olds, 51 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:05.120 they should be dropping like MF for a bunch more than they do for 52 00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:10.240 the good kids. The problem is that they would say like the bad ones, 53 00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:12.960 Okay, they would say the R word and stuff we can't have that 54 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.399 they would fourteen year old I don't think fourteen year olds say that now. 55 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:20.319 I hope so, I hope that the people I see say that on the 56 00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:25.279 on the internet are actually like forty five. That that's something makes me feel 57 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.920 a lot better than if they're fourteen. Not not to relitigate old turtle talk 58 00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.319 and old stuff that Jeff Backlar has odd opinions on. But Bailey, do 59 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:38.639 you see Splinter as the turtles as father in the new movie? Yes? 60 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:46.240 Wait, go on, well no, no, Maybe Bailey's got some points. 61 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.199 Maybe Bailey's done a lot of our own research. Do you guys you 62 00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:51.360 want to hear from George from Florida again? Because I don't I don't know 63 00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:58.240 how how to say this. I don't have an emotional association with the eighties 64 00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:02.079 Turtles. That was just not something I grew up on if I didn't have 65 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:05.720 the VHS tape. So, as far as I'm concerned, the new movie 66 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:13.279 is all that matters with Turtles and so wait, so if they had the 67 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:17.480 same dynamic in the cartoon, would you then consider Splinter to be their father? 68 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:25.920 It's the same dynamic in the cartoon Dad, He's he's got dad vibes 69 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:30.399 in the Roguan movie than he did in the cartoons. From my position, 70 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:32.680 I think he was more of like a roommate in the in the in the 71 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:39.879 cartoons, right, it's more like a rat roommate if you or he's like 72 00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:44.720 an unlockable character in the video game you're playing. Like in the movie, 73 00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:47.240 he's a dad, and he's a good He's such a dad. Oh my 74 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:51.399 god. I just he's hilarious, probably the funniest one in the movie too. 75 00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:56.439 So good, Yeah, so good? Yeah? Where was Casey Jones? 76 00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.839 I just like to say, hey, I've been asking where is Keeno 77 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.399 been since Tim and T two? Secret of the Us? All right, 78 00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.120 right, Jan, Look, as much as I love Keino, I kind 79 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:13.800 of think if we're if we're like doing a tier of like missing cameos start 80 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.959 from there's a clear number one, but that kind of guts resolved a little 81 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:25.439 Japanese kid from three three. I've only seen three ones. Yoshi everyone's favorite 82 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:30.040 character, or Yojimbo the rabbit. Huh, now that would be cool. 83 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.480 I would take that. Uh. I forgot where we're going. I apologize. 84 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:39.839 I was gonna make a weird deep cut comparison. Please please cut away, 85 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:43.319 cut away. So I'm a big cowboy bebop expert, as everyone knows. 86 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:47.360 Now, it's amazing. It's amazing. I've seen seven episodes of it, 87 00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:51.959 and it's amazing. It's totally redefined who I am as a person recently, 88 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:58.480 live my life by that anime. He's gonna be insufferable when he finally 89 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:01.519 watches FOULI Coolie, but I can't wait. That's going to change him in 90 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:05.600 a way that I don't anime is that? Yes? Whatever, it doesn't. 91 00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:11.000 It's like four episodes, Okay, back, he's already changed though. 92 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:15.920 Once he eventually watches Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood and then he meets Roy Mustang, 93 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.120 He's going to be changed as soon as he gets into reviews Starlight. It's 94 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.839 all over for you. Guys are all bringing up that such a deep cut 95 00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:28.519 that I'm confident none of you three. I just politely place this podcast. 96 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.199 Yeah, the funny thing about Cowboy Bebop is that I was afforded every opportunity 97 00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:38.360 as a college student in like two thousand to two. Time lines up so 98 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:41.879 much with you should have just been like legally required to watch adult swim at 99 00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:44.920 that time, Like you weren't. It's weird, right, Like I was 100 00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:48.000 watching Aquitine, I was watching Sea Lab, I was watching Harvey Birdman, 101 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.480 I was watching all the things. And then as soon as they were like, 102 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:54.360 yo, it's two unami time, I was like, I don't like 103 00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:58.120 anime. I'm twenty. Yeah, Like if that, if you would, 104 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:00.639 if you would stuck around, like if you were just so how you didn't 105 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.079 turn the channel and that first episode Cowboy Beboy started up, I would have 106 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.279 been not saying that this autobiographical but it is. But like you're like you 107 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.680 would not be able to look away, Like so you still missed it. 108 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:11.240 I'm just no, I'm a piece of shit, Jeff. I'm old enough. 109 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:15.959 I'm an adult enough to admit it this point. Thank you. As 110 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.639 long as we can all agree that I am a piece of shit. I 111 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.360 was into Eon Flux back then. I was I, which is not really 112 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.240 necessary, Like no, but you know it's got the same tone totally. 113 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:31.959 It's it's insane. It's so insane. Anyway, I've seen seven or episodes 114 00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:37.840 of Cowboy Bebob, therefore an expert, and I recently watched the episode about 115 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.519 VT, the character VT. If I don't know if you're aware, but 116 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:50.440 watching that episode yesterday and and then thinking about the turtles recently, VT gave 117 00:08:50.519 --> 00:09:00.120 off total Raphael nineteen ninety ninja turtle vibes, like the big trench code in 118 00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:05.480 the hat Tracy though, what's that? Isn't that just Dick Tracy? Who? 119 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:11.799 Raphael Big? I don't think he was going for a Dick Tracy. 120 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:16.519 Thing's got like a yellow Maybe maybe Casey Jones made a Dick Tracy joke, 121 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.559 Adams, Yeah, maybe maybe. Uh there's something about like big trench code, 122 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.279 like you like you're hiding a turtle shell going out in camouflage. It's 123 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:30.720 like I just felt VT, and uh, you know out at night camouflage 124 00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.840 fail. We're exuding the same energy in a big way. So if anyone 125 00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:39.960 can appreciate that, comparison. She's the truck driver, the space truck driver, 126 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:46.320 right yeah, and she hates bounty hunters. She hates them. Campra's 127 00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:52.639 just dead Spikes biagle Chi right yeah. And did you guys play Neon White 128 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.039 at all when it came out? Oh? Yeah, God, I love 129 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.440 that. I love that. Just Spike from Cowboy Bebop talk to you about 130 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:05.120 angels and demons more than usual because he's talked about it a lot, a 131 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.960 lot a lot. Yes, anytime he shows up anywhere, I'm very excited. 132 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.440 Uh you know, while we're still kind of tangentially talking about the turtles. 133 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:15.679 I don't know what compelled me to watch this, but I wound up 134 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:20.840 watching the Michael Bay Turtle movies. Oh there, they they made choices in 135 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.000 those films. Man, that's like such a weird thing that you just Michael 136 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.120 Bay's turtles move like, yeah, he did that while he was in his 137 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.559 Transformers era that lasted forever. He also did teenage Mutant Ja Turtles movies, 138 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.639 but like he produced them. Think about those? Hey, yeah yeah, 139 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:39.639 but I do you think they have his signature on it? Would you believe 140 00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:46.360 me? Or I forgot this? Tony Schalub is splinter. Oh that's that's 141 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:54.200 kind of cool. I love Tony schalub O guy rules. I'm might have 142 00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.360 predicted that you love Tony schalub I like, come on, missus mazel dude, 143 00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.879 he's so good. I just like I could tell five other things before 144 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.440 that, bail, you got a problem with missus masl what's happening? Not 145 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.600 a fan? Okay, let's get into this before we get into games, 146 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.080 because there's not a lot of games. Okay, that's okay. I'm not 147 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:18.240 here to be a TV critic. Okay, all right, but we can 148 00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:24.799 all agree that we like Tony Shaloup. Yeah yeah, Bailey, clearly Tony 149 00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:28.440 Galaxy Quest one of the best performances ever in a movie. He's the best. 150 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.320 Just fantastic stuff. An alien. I like him a lot. In 151 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.279 monk Uh, here's the Google doc. I almost forgot to do this, 152 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:43.039 shouts out, even send it to me before. Oh no, I'm talking 153 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:48.879 about the bad Google doc. This is just send it. I'm gonna put 154 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.279 in the chat for us right here. Wait.

Eventually, she'll get there. Uh. You can't play video games 159 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.960 most of the time unless you're looking at them on a TV or a monitor. 160 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:28.919 But Jeff Backlar, you got a portable monitor. Listen to this. 161 00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.200 I feel like I've done something illegal. And I kind of went back and 162 00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:35.360 forth. I'm like, should I even talk about this on the show, 163 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:39.440 because once I once I start talking about this, I feel like I'm gonna 164 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.600 be in trouble. Well I'm not gonna be in trouble, but maybe the 165 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.440 thing that I'm using this for will break. Oh my god, look at 166 00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:52.559 grub monitor.

Oh you got the laughy leck one. 169 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:05.480 Yeah, it sounds like a Norris God if I Kia only knew in the 170 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:11.240 nineties that all of its funny names were about to be exploded out by a 171 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.879 website called Amazon dot com. Hey, hey, back, I could tell 172 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:20.120 that we're homeowners making the ikea job. Yeah, that that lands with you 173 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:26.600 two, right, Baylor? Totally? Yeah, I love sing love. 174 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:35.720 It's like mortgage. It's forty whole dollars the interest rates. I'm gonna refinance 175 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.720 this in a couple of years. No, it's a bad time to refine. 176 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:48.679 What are you talking about? Mow the lawn. I have the hoss. 177 00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:50.960 I have to have a lawn, even though we're in a drought. 178 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:58.480 Can you say, hoaesome? Good job, that's really good. We haven't 179 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:01.879 told out podcast points in a while, but Bailey gets them all today for 180 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.679 sure, and I'm back like that, You're not allowed to do that. 181 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:11.600 I'm ship twice today. Listen. I'm going to deduct twenty to six. 182 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:16.639 I can, oh can? I can't afford that chap that puts me in 183 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.480 the red transferring that balance to Bailey's balance. Wow, I have to pay 184 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:26.919 off this podcast negative balance. I bought a I bought a portable monitor for 185 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:33.159 a couple of plane rides because my little one and I are through the fourth 186 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:37.840 Temple in Zelda and now want to continue playing on our trip because there's you 187 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:39.559 know, who knows how many hundreds of hours left in this game, and 188 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:41.639 I'm like, oh, we'll just play this on the plane. I'm like, 189 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:43.679 oh, wait, no, we won't because the screen on the switch 190 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.919 is too small to play with two people. It's insane. I realize people 191 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.960 do it on rooftops, do it whatever, they do it, but I 192 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.960 don't want to be that guy. So I bought a portable monitor, thinking 193 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.600 like, oh, I'll just figure a way to like Jerry rig it together. 194 00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:03.440 And that's that, you guys. I thought, like USB out USBC 195 00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:09.440 out video on the switch was like this very proprietary coveted thing. I just 196 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:13.159 hooked it up to this monitor and it worked with the with the USBC cable 197 00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:18.720 that came with the monitor, and it worked like directly into the switch. 198 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:22.080 Dude, I can demo for you right now if you want to see it, 199 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:26.000 like it doesn't want to see it, it's insane. It just works. 200 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:31.879 Wait okay, the raw naked port from the Raw Dog, the one 201 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:35.840 that came with the monitor, and it just worked. No guess, wait, 202 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.960 no doc like no dock, no sands doc. Okay, I gotta 203 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.200 see this then. Actually, yes, that's if you can't do it for 204 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:48.000 scientific purposes, well, I'll larrate the whole thing for audio. You guys, 205 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.519 got a vamp for a second while I set this up. Guess what 206 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:54.960 also works the steam deck. Well, yeah, that that steam deck does 207 00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:58.000 make sense. But that's good. That's good. Yeah, because you guys 208 00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:58.960 are gonna have Yeah, that's a good thing. Yeah, there's portal monitor. 209 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:00.679 It makes a lot of sense when you start getting a lot of those 210 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:06.519 devices. I feel like I'm about to really upset companies right now. The 211 00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:10.159 steam deck is like Gabe does, I don't care. I'm not worried about 212 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:12.240 them. I'm worried about the company that you should worry about it. Yeah. 213 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.000 Yeah, well I hear you vamp. I'll show you the thing. 214 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:23.320 Okay, this crew vamping, that's that's going to be so difficult. I 215 00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:27.399 do want like I felt the DOC was necessary for that stuff because I guess 216 00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:30.720 maybe they just turn it off for the switch light and that's what I'm thinking 217 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:34.080 of. So maybe that does make some sense. But I haven't feel the 218 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:37.440 DOC is just so that it can like stand up and have a little dignity. 219 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.120 But you can really just plug it in anywhere. Yeah, well, 220 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:44.879 I mean yes, I like, I feel like you couldn't take an hdm 221 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:48.519 I or an USBC to HD my chord and plug it into a TV. 222 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:51.759 But I think I must be wrong. Then I guess so yeah, I'm 223 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:56.159 always confused, right because like USBC can like be thunder can be lightning sometimes 224 00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:59.960 right, it can. It can be so many things were so many. 225 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.160 Wait a minute, Wait a minute, here I have something more upsetting out 226 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:11.480 back steakhouses calling their appetizers aussetize aussey Tizers ausseatizers. Come on, guys, 227 00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:17.680 they just ran out of jokes. You're like, now they did that thing 228 00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:22.240 where like you write the intrasection last, so they like did the rest of 229 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.599 the men either, like great great banger after banger, and then they got 230 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:27.160 to the appetizers, are like, fuck, what do we do here? 231 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:30.680 Aussi Tizers? There, We're done? All right, I'm gonna take a 232 00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:34.359 joke and then I want Australian listeners to write in and tell me if I 233 00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:37.720 need to stop making these jokes. Ausey Tizers sounds like the fight you get 234 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:41.839 in before your fight. Like it sounds like you're you're gonna get your real 235 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:45.240 fight in a second, but the aussee tizer, you're gonna have the little 236 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.400 fight before the big fights. How can that be offensive? What is that? 237 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:52.599 Ending? It's more offensive that you like apologize to Australian people before making 238 00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:57.160 the joke. Listen, do they care? Okay, as you can see 239 00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:02.839 my switch hook up in the with the bottom USBC. Okay, here's the 240 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:07.599 other end. I'm gonna plug it in. Okay. Now, is this 241 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:12.559 monitor drawing from the switch? This this power? What do you mean? 242 00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:18.079 No, it's except so there it is. Wow, look at that. 243 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:22.839 Okay, switch, the switch must be so yeah, the switch because the 244 00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:27.000 monitor does have a power. I am powering the monitor, right, So 245 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:32.960 that's what I think. But I think it will still work if I take 246 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:37.039 the plug out. Yeah, because that's the will Nope, it does not. 247 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:44.880 That's because it needs power. It does. Oh no, I don't 248 00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:47.960 think we had to do it had to get Look it's but it's like there's 249 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:51.319 no power on it right now, and it's getting power somehow because it's displaying 250 00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:53.720 the no signal. Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah, it might be drawing 251 00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:57.519 power, drawing like like just sipping a little bit. It does run by 252 00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:00.960 itself with the steam deck. So like if you just plugged the steam deck 253 00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:04.559 puts out enough power, I'd try to make yesterday. Yeah where is running? 254 00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:08.359 But yeah yeah, port of the monitors don't usually have batteries, right 255 00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:11.279 because mine doesn't like that would be kind of crazy. I would, Yeah, 256 00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:15.240 you would need something pretty serious. But yeah, isn't that crazy cool? 257 00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.599 Yeah, isn't that? It's fantastic. It's like, why is that 258 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:21.799 working? Are you worried about? Like there was a worried about like bricking 259 00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:26.079 switches early on by using bad docks, that seems to have mostly gone away. 260 00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:27.680 I mean at this point, who cares. You're right, they're like, 261 00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:32.000 yeah, I got like four switches in this house somewhere. I could 262 00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:33.960 just fix an old one or something. Yes, you know, all right 263 00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:37.960 with house money at this point. Fantastic, fantastic. Well, speaking about 264 00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:44.799 switch games, mister Grub sounds like and it reads like on this document here 265 00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:48.480 that you beat Pickman four, I'd beat Pickman four. Yeah, I uh, 266 00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:55.680 well I got credits like twenty hours ago. So that's this game is 267 00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:56.559 making me like wonder, Like, man, what is he even beating a 268 00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:00.720 game? Mean anymore? But I got credits twenty hours ago. There's a 269 00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:04.640 ton to do after that. Most of it, like it surprisingly keeps a 270 00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:08.279 lot of momentum even though you've mostly finished up with the like, oh, 271 00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:11.640 I'm gonna get a new thing that makes me more powerful. Or it makes 272 00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:14.920 my characters able to do more or finding new pickman. By then you're gonna 273 00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:18.559 found all the pickmen. But like things like finding their onion, which enables 274 00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:21.880 you to grow these pickmen without just finding them out in the wild, something 275 00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:25.519 that for some of these more rare pigments around time. Yes, so like 276 00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:29.279 that like is still that was encouraging me to keep exploring the world, Like 277 00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:32.640 I'll just go get all the onions. I'll just set the little doggie to 278 00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:34.960 sniff out onions every time we get to a new level, and then I'll 279 00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:37.799 just go get those. And a lot of the ones I was finding are 280 00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:40.880 the flow licks. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yes, I was finding 281 00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:42.599 the flow licks, and that means you can have more pickmen in the world. 282 00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:45.279 But that caps at a hundred, so it's like at a certain point 283 00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:48.880 that just gives you like some power ups and stuff not actually not very useful 284 00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:52.599 at a certain point, and I was like, man, where's the white 285 00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:55.559 onion? And as I was like exploring for it, I discovered the final 286 00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:59.960 the final stage, which is like this twenty level cave that you go through 287 00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:03.359 and it's like you're using all your pickmen in really interesting ways and I really 288 00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:07.599 loved everything up until about the last boss. The last boss is fine. 289 00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:11.000 The boss fights in this game are not really why I'm here. It's like 290 00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:15.079 the exploration is really good. The sense of progression is really good, like 291 00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:19.839 as the loop is fantastic, just being a bunch of little guys around like 292 00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:23.079 Boston little and like getting more little guys so I could do even more the 293 00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:26.440 next day, Like so oh, that was a really good productive day. 294 00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:29.119 Now tomorrow I know I could do even more. That's what works for me. 295 00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:30.960 The boss fights are like, yeah, mostly you're trying to get them 296 00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:34.559 over as quickly as possible by just ramming your dog into him and sitting all 297 00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:38.200 one hundred pickmen to attack him at the same time. And that's kind of 298 00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:41.839 how the last boss fight works as well, except for it has phases and 299 00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:48.240 I was not prepared with the correct pickmen and the game doesn't spell out that 300 00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:51.640 you needed to bring in a certain pickmen, like I didn't have any blue, 301 00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:53.960 yellow, or red pickman because the stage is like here, so let's 302 00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:57.240 just like have you auto select the pickmen you're gonna bring with you, And 303 00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:00.400 it didn't give me any of those, and I was like, that's fine, 304 00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:02.599 I'm sure I don't need him, because this has been pretty handy so 305 00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:04.240 far when the game was just like just bring these. So I go through 306 00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:08.680 all the twenty levels and then the previous level of this cave right before the 307 00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:12.079 final boss fight, there are these little flowers that you could throw your pickmen 308 00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:15.359 in to make red, yellow, or blue and some other things, and 309 00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:18.799 I'm like, yeah, I probably don't need that, like that's probably just 310 00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:22.119 optional, and I would only be able to get five of them because that's 311 00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:25.519 when the flower you put five in that spits out five red and then it 312 00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:27.079 disappears you can't use it anymore. And I'm like, so this is probably 313 00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:30.079 just like in case you wanted to have a more variety for this final fight. 314 00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:33.240 It turns out that that was a mistake because I got to the electric 315 00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:37.039 phase and I didn't have yellow pickmen, and so every and like the boss 316 00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:42.200 throws out these little electric yellow balls that send electric like lines all around in 317 00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:47.240 the circle circular pattern, and so I was like trying to dodge everything and 318 00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:49.839 then still attack the guy, but my pickman would get electrocuted and I was 319 00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:53.319 screwed. So eventually I just like, I'm gonna hold all my Pickmen back 320 00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:56.119 in the corner and just send the dog out, because the dog was so 321 00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:00.359 powered up at this point that he could just go and do anything. So 322 00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:03.079 I had him like take away all those electric balls, and then we went 323 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:04.400 an attack and we were able to get through it, and that was like 324 00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:08.519 just frustrating instead of fun at that point. So it's like that's kind of 325 00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:11.559 like a little bit of a fizzle out there at the very end, but 326 00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:15.160 overall, just a fantastic game style, just some something I really really enjoyed 327 00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:18.799 spending a ton of time with. Like I took a break from Tears of 328 00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:22.039 the Kingdom specifically just to play through Pickman four, and then when I got 329 00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:23.559 the first credits, I did kind of consider maybe just putting it down, 330 00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:27.079 and I was like, I'm still being drawn into this, and now that 331 00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:30.319 I've beaten it, I didn't get all the onions. I think I am 332 00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:33.680 done with it now, so probably won't go back because there's so much else 333 00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:36.079 to play. Although I would love a world in which no I would have 334 00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:38.240 one hundred percent that game. It's an easy game to one hundred percent in 335 00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:41.160 terms of like the desire to do so. But it's like man it's just 336 00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:44.720 not a very good use of my time right now. But overall, just 337 00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:48.119 like I'm still really in love with Pickman four. I mean you have a 338 00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:52.720 writing credit because of it. So yeah, if you haven't watched the Honest 339 00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:56.720 Game trailer, Grub got a writing credit on it. That was a lot 340 00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:57.799 of That was a lot of fun. Yeah, I thought I trumpeted that 341 00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:02.799 up. That was Yeah, definitely. Bailey did a very good job of 342 00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:06.880 editing my jokes into something that resembled something funny. So they were very funny 343 00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:12.160 exactly, they were like ships. Yes, that's exactly what it was. 344 00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:15.880 I had had a good time with that. So yeah, that's what it 345 00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:21.200 means to punch up a joke. I get it now, Yes, Bailey 346 00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:26.279 actually right. Yeah, I need everyone to just go to every single Honest 347 00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:27.599 Game trailers and say, like, oh my god, this is great. 348 00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:32.839 Bailey's Bailey's the best. Just just put that just comment that. I mean, 349 00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:38.480 like the shredder of games media, Grub. I need you to educate 350 00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:44.680 me and please excuse my Pickman blind spot, because I I just thought Pickman 351 00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:49.200 were weird, a bunch of little weirdos, and they are right. Was 352 00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:56.440 it intended for the name Pickman to be evocative of kind of Pokemon. That's 353 00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:02.519 not the story they tell. The story they tell is that Shigeru Miyamoto design 354 00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:07.000 the characters to look like a type of carrot that sounds like Pickman in Japan, 355 00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:11.039 So like there, I don't know if the characters are actually called Pickman, 356 00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:15.039 but there's it's like something like Peka carrots or something like that, and 357 00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:18.279 he designed them after that, and that's where they come from. Allegedly, 358 00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:19.640 I don't I don't know if it does. It does. Yeah, it 359 00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:22.920 does sound like Pokemon, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's like, let's 360 00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:26.640 try to confuse people. But that also doesn't sound very Nintendo. Okay okay. 361 00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:32.799 I think Shigeru Miyamoto would be would blow up on foraging TikTok. From 362 00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:36.920 the sounds of it, it sounds like his interests are very varied. He 363 00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:41.240 just loves being outside despite making video games. That's right. It likes to 364 00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:45.559 play in the dirt. Speaking about playing in the dirt, I feel like 365 00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:49.319 I've been hitting a wall because I keep jumping in dirt and slipping in grease 366 00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:56.079 because I can't stop casting grease and Balder's gate three, starting to figure out 367 00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:59.200 why you might be slipping in grease. I have an easy fix for this 368 00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:03.839 one, jan Yes, don't, don't cask Grace. I can't are there 369 00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:06.640 are so many better spells. I can't help it, Bailey, I don't 370 00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:11.640 understand anything. I just got the handsome wizard Man and he had a grease 371 00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:14.119 spell. I'm like, well, that's the only thing I'm gonna use him 372 00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:19.000 fail. Yeah, it's It's so funny because when when I started the game 373 00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:26.839 over after playing it multiplayer with with for the EPF grub, we completely missed 374 00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:30.960 the wizard Man and we we wound up in jail. Oh so wait, 375 00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:33.599 which wizard Man is this? He's the right, yes, Gail, Well, 376 00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:37.599 not the cover art guy, not the one with the silver hair, 377 00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:42.240 right, that's Stan's not He's not a wizard he's a rogue vampire. Yeah 378 00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:45.440 right right right? Uh. And then like we I pulled the wizard Man 379 00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:48.720 out of the portal and then I was like, oh, what's up, 380 00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:53.079 dog? And it's great. It's great. Yeah, probably that we missed 381 00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:56.920 it, and this makes it sound like we were looking We were not looking 382 00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:00.799 for anything. Well, I'm happy that we didn't come across it. At 383 00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:06.960 all, because yeah, yes, yes he's been saved. Grub you put 384 00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:08.319 on the dock that you've been playing it, I've also been playing it, 385 00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:14.519 as I understand, Bailey, you've been been playing it, yep. I'm 386 00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:15.960 like, I'm I'm still at a point where, like I said, I 387 00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:18.359 was trying to be picking for and Tears of the Kingdom. So I'm like, 388 00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:23.960 I keep dabbling in wallters Gate three trying to honestly get over my intimidation 389 00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:26.680 of it. It's just like I could see how it takes up all this 390 00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:32.240 time, and it's not just like a shallow time, it's deep time, 391 00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:36.119 Like you need to focus in on this stuff and learn all these mechanics or 392 00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:38.640 make an attempt to wear the mechanics to find some fun in the stuff. 393 00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:42.319 And I'm still at a point where I'm not sure what that process is going 394 00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:45.200 to look like for me. So I'm kind of curious to hear if you 395 00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:47.759 guys have any tips and sort of like what that process, what that process 396 00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:52.039 was like for you. Uh My tip, Bailey, you've probably put way 397 00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:55.839 more hours than I have. My tip is is just yolo grub, it 398 00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:57.799 doesn't matter. That's kind of what I'm think I'm gonna have to do. 399 00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:03.279 Yeah, I'm little Blocks Vibe. Yeah yeah, say that again. I 400 00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:07.359 can't not hear that enough. Yeah. I rolled with a little dwarf named 401 00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:14.920 Block Lesno and and he's very brawlick. He's great. And then I'm just 402 00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:18.799 punching people in the face. But I'm very empathetic and I keep trying to 403 00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:22.319 break up fights. I don't have enough charisma, so it just devolves into 404 00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:26.240 a fight. It's great, that's that sounds like Block West for sure. 405 00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:32.400 I lifted up our game and there was Block Wesner just completely naked with his 406 00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:34.319 dick out. It's like, oh, yeah, that's where we left everybody. 407 00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:38.720 Fantastic, fantastic. Yeah. I have a rogue. Her name is 408 00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:44.680 Flip Bailey. She does flips. It looks like me, Uh, it's 409 00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:47.960 been good. I mean, like the thing the problem is is like I'm 410 00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:52.119 very deep into it, like I'm I'm near the end of the story and 411 00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:55.599 I'm hoping to finish it after this. But I was hoping to finish it 412 00:28:55.720 --> 00:29:00.960 last night and I kept hitting this like heart that I couldn't get past this 413 00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:03.559 fight that was insane that I could not get past. And I was just 414 00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:10.400 like I was like, I don't know, I think I short circuited. 415 00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:12.480 I like, I couldn't. I couldn't do it anymore because I like the 416 00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:17.559 game so much. But it is sort of like playing a game of Dungeons 417 00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:22.160 and Dragons with the worst dungeon master you've ever encountered in your life. For 418 00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:26.799 the folks at home, Bailey that don't know what a bad dungeon master or 419 00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:30.440 DM would would mean. What what do you mean by that? Well, 420 00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:36.440 they want you to do things in a specific order. They are really weird 421 00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:41.640 about like mechanics, like, uh, they're buggy, and they keep crashing 422 00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:48.519 the game for some fucking reason. All the minis off the table, anytime 423 00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:51.960 something, anytime you try to open up your phone or whatever. I heard 424 00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:55.880 that this game makes all other Triple A games look like lazy developers by comparison. 425 00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:56.920 I was going around on the internet and I'm like, oh, yeah, 426 00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:02.680 that's people just aren't getting to the bugs yet. There's infinitely the takeaway. 427 00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:08.799 Yeah, so yeah, how are you? Because like when I imagine 428 00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:12.359 Dungeons and Dragons play at this point, I do imagine all the podcasts I've 429 00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:15.559 listened to. I've never played it myself, and in those situations, the 430 00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:19.720 d M is always very accommodating, Like the whole point is like you are 431 00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:22.559 here to have fun, but maybe it's more important. It's like wrestling, 432 00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:26.039 it's more important that the other person doesn't get hurt. It's more important that 433 00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:27.960 the other people are like have fun as well. If you play that way, 434 00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:30.799 everyone will have a good time because they'll do the same for you. 435 00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:34.000 It's like that Golden rule plus one, Like golden rule, dude, what's 436 00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:38.680 best for everyone else as well? The game just can't it just can't do 437 00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:41.119 that, right. It has to be a video game first, right, 438 00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:45.960 Yes, so you've got dungeons and dragons mechanics, but a game that's actively 439 00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:52.200 trying to screw you over at all opportunities, and it is at times deeply 440 00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:57.519 infuriateing. You wind up making one wrong decision and soft locking yourself out of 441 00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:02.319 entire quest lines because you answered a question wrong, and now you have to 442 00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:03.920 kill all these people or they're going to kill you first, and there's no 443 00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:07.119 way to talk out of it. Like, have you been doing gets a 444 00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:11.480 little frustrating. Have you been doing any any saves coming, Bailey? Or 445 00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:15.319 have you just been rolling with this little on onl on, like big important 446 00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:18.559 roles that I can tell that if I mess it up, I'm really gonna 447 00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:22.640 lock myself out of something important in the story. I am going to save 448 00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:26.200 scum. I don't typically, I wouldn't typically, but in this situation, 449 00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:32.000 And please no, it's only in like desperate situations because loading up one of 450 00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:36.599 these games takes a full fucking hour. So like I'm when I'm doing it, 451 00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:40.599 I'm really meaning it, like it matters. I'm feeling that pain like 452 00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:45.160 it hurts me every time. I'm really enjoying my time with this and this 453 00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:48.480 being one of my first instructions to like heavy heavy dice rolls and everything, 454 00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:52.200 and like, okay, shit, all this stuff really does matter, huh. 455 00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:56.720 Like like you said, Bailey, I have been soft locked out of 456 00:31:56.720 --> 00:31:59.440 stuff that I've seen people talk about. I'm like, I don't know who 457 00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:04.720 that person is. Yeah, it may see like people fail like the oh 458 00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:07.519 this is a zero skill check and then they get a critical failure and still 459 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:10.720 falance. Like I like that the game makes that possible, Like that is 460 00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:15.160 that is a cool thing to see? Yeah. Yeah, it just goes 461 00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:16.680 to show it doesn't matter how good you are or something you can still really 462 00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:23.599 fuck up exactly. I will say I've seen people post like videos of like 463 00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:30.599 later game scenes or gameplay, and it does seem very very intimidating with having 464 00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:35.799 to juggle MMO style hot bars after a while, Bailey, has that been 465 00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:37.920 like a problem at all or have you kind of just settled into a flow. 466 00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:42.480 I haven't had that much of a problem with it, and I don't 467 00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:45.359 play MMOs, so like if anyone else is having a problem, that feels 468 00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:51.720 like a skill issue to me. This was like a friendly question, Bailey, 469 00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:55.319 because I was just trying to gauge where people were. Okay, all 470 00:32:55.400 --> 00:32:59.079 right, Jeff Backlard, you do you want to play ball? There's Gate 471 00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:02.519 three or something. Backlard's in full defense mode. He this is like because 472 00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:06.279 he Backlark. Can I try to like diagnose because i'mn't think I'm in a 473 00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:09.160 like close to be where you are. Where it's you see, like, 474 00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:13.599 I see other people having a lot of fun with this, and I I 475 00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:17.240 think I want that for myself, But there's also a good chance of having 476 00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:22.119 FOMO because it might just be physically impossible for me to spend the time on 477 00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:23.039 this game. I need to actually have that time, so it might be 478 00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:25.839 easier to just be like, I don't care. I don't want to. 479 00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:29.200 I don't want to actually get into this game. Yeah, Like, I'm 480 00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:34.440 definitely lying when I say I don't care, but it's yeah, it's it's 481 00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:37.920 a it's a necessity, it's a it's it's out of necessity. I'm lying 482 00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:44.240 because I have to lie because I physically can't put this square peg in a 483 00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:47.960 round slot. Like it's just simply not feasible. It's a naughty slot. 484 00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:51.839 I don't want. I mean, look, I don't know. Maybe one 485 00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:53.759 day, you know, in my fifties, I could play Baller's Gate three 486 00:33:53.799 --> 00:33:59.519 next year, you know, jem I felt bad after I said that, 487 00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:04.680 I'm sorry you You realize you've walked into Dan Reiker joke territory. Yeah, 488 00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:07.319 I know. You know, Bailey, you're better. And then I thought 489 00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:09.000 like, oh I can rip too, though, Okay, you're better than 490 00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:13.519 him, better than him, Okay, alright, alright, yeah I don't 491 00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:16.280 know what kind of slot is square, but you understand my analogy, isn't 492 00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:19.920 it. Okay, No, we don't need to talk about you know, 493 00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:23.000 you know it's anyway, so like, yeah, it sucks. I would 494 00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:25.840 like to play it, but like some I forget one of you guys were 495 00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:28.880 telling me like, oh, even if you want to try it, like, 496 00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:31.159 you still have to know a lot of stuff, and I don't know, 497 00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:36.760 it's like common game of the year. I'm obviously gonna probably have not 498 00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:40.559 even touched it yet and I'll be in trouble. So you know whatever, 499 00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:45.679 I think that you uh don't have to know stuff necessarily, you just got 500 00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:51.199 to play the right class in that situation. Yeah, you can know nothing. 501 00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:53.880 Yeah, I would say if you're like new to the concept of dungeons 502 00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:58.039 and dragons, I wouldn't go with like a magic class. I would go 503 00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:00.320 into like a fighter or like a rogue or something like. I wouldnt giving 504 00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:05.360 me advice on the thing I said, I'm absolutely not playing well. I 505 00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:07.360 think, oh, it sounds like you're just afraid, And I think that 506 00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:10.199 if you had a little less fear in you, maybe you would try this 507 00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:15.119 game. Because as much as I hate it right now, it actually is 508 00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:16.960 a great game and I think people should play it. I think you're a 509 00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:19.960 part of it. Here's a part of it. Oh yeah, that's the 510 00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:22.159 same for me. Yeah, And the console version is coming out next month. 511 00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:25.800 Which I'm actually very curious to see how that turned out because I've heard 512 00:35:25.800 --> 00:35:30.000 really good things. Uh, and it is actively breaking my PC every time 513 00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:36.599 I open it. I can hear my PC going like like underneath the casing. 514 00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:40.320 It's like apparently like Zen two chip pcpus or all that matters. These 515 00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:44.639 are relatively new CPUs, Like I just gave one to Mike, an older 516 00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:45.440 one that I had, but it's like a really good one, and it's 517 00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:49.079 like apparently that's struggling with Boulder's game. And I was like, oh man, 518 00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:53.159 already these CPUs are being outdated by this this CRPG. But that's the 519 00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:57.280 kind of game that would do it. Yeah, you would have thought that, 520 00:35:57.360 --> 00:36:00.679 like the fomo would have really taken a hold of me on this one, 521 00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:04.280 right, like because I am so prone to that. But like it's 522 00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:08.440 just not and I'm trying this big It's like I think it's easier to be 523 00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:13.199 like yeah, right, there's plenty of plenty of other stuff to play. 524 00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:15.079 I gotta get it. It's like I don't need to see the Grand Canyon. 525 00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:17.360 I know it's this huge fucking hole in the ground. Fuck it, 526 00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:21.559 it's enormous, it's huge, it's whatever I'm just gonna skip over it, 527 00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:23.840 but that people will be like, no, you've seen in a person who's 528 00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:28.880 different, and of course, of course it is of course flown over it 529 00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:32.280 a bunch. Ye fine, I know we're gonna get the Game of the 530 00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:37.360 Year and what's gonna happen is Zelda. Like I'll go and assuming Zelda's obviously 531 00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:39.719 a luck and it's gonna be like, actually, Boulder's Gate's gonna have a 532 00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:42.760 ton of support, So like, I'm like, I want to give it 533 00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:45.639 a chance before we get there, because I don't want to be rushing it 534 00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:47.440 at the end of the year. So I'm gonna go. It's just hard. 535 00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:51.280 Yeah, I feel like Balder's Gate is gonna have a ton of support, 536 00:36:51.280 --> 00:36:52.599 and I don't think it's gonna walk away empty hand. I think that 537 00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:58.840 would be bananas. But I do feel like Gelda Zelda still is Game of 538 00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:02.519 the Year for me person only having played having finished that one and getting near 539 00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:07.760 the end of Boulder's Gate just yeah, just just yeah. Some people actually 540 00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:10.360 have finished Cheers with the Kingdom at this point. Jan I know, based 541 00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:15.239 on talk to based on who YouTube talk to, it seems like an impossible 542 00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:22.400 feat. But it is actually quite doable. I'd recommend trying. Actually no 543 00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:29.880 one else does it as it's Yeah, it's just still in the game of 544 00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:34.199 the year for me because with between Balder's Gate and Zelda, Like with Balder's 545 00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:37.320 Gate, it's incredible what they've achieved. With Zelda, it's also incredible what 546 00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:40.920 they've achieved. And at no point did I rage quit it. I was 547 00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:45.480 just having a really good time the whole time. Yeah, see that, 548 00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:50.000 that tells me everything I need to hear. Okay, you know, once 549 00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:52.599 I hear that, like people are actively upset at Balder's Gate occasionally, Like, 550 00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:55.760 you know, I don't need that. I don't need that angry in 551 00:37:55.760 --> 00:37:59.800 my life. My angry enough. You know. It's a card game break 552 00:37:59.840 --> 00:38:04.280 on stream because I needed to like just not play something that was going to 553 00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:08.440 crash my computer every three seconds or yell at me because I inexplicably rolled a 554 00:38:08.559 --> 00:38:15.079 one on a lock pick even though I'm a rogue with seventeen dexterity. It's 555 00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:20.239 fine. Sometimes your hands are tired, but speaking about cards are tired. 556 00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:23.280 Speaking about a card game break, Bailey, I see that you've been playing 557 00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:28.159 and streaming Slay the Spire. Yeah, that's the card game I've been playing 558 00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:31.280 when I don't want to play Boulders Skates. It's very good, very one 559 00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:38.480 of the same. They've got similar concepts. I'm obsessed with Slay the Spire. 560 00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:43.280 I only started playing it this week. Someone recommended it to me in 561 00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:47.840 my stream shot at to Jack after I got became obsessed with Inscription and I 562 00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:52.599 wanted another game, and he was like, Oh, You're gonna love this, 563 00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:55.440 and he was right it. I have been playing it just this week, 564 00:38:55.519 --> 00:39:00.519 but I've Slayed the Spire once. I feel like I'm freakish good at 565 00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:02.920 it, and I'm so excited to keep doing it because it is. It 566 00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:07.440 is the most addicting game I think I've ever played. I am obsessed with 567 00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:10.440 it to a degree that I haven't been obsessed with anything in like a really 568 00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:15.159 long time. Yeah cool. I had a Slave the Spire problem as well, 569 00:39:15.159 --> 00:39:19.280 or when it initially came out, and then like they as people are 570 00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:21.880 telling me like, oh, you gotta you gotta turn on the quick option 571 00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:25.320 or whatever the fast mode is. I'm like, oh shit, this is 572 00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:29.960 a whole another gear. You go into the options, it's like slightly faster. 573 00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:34.039 I forget what it does because it's been a hot minute. Oh Bailey, 574 00:39:34.079 --> 00:39:37.079 if you like Slay the Spire, there's another game that is exactly like 575 00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:39.480 Slay the Spire, but on a train Monster train. There we go, 576 00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:45.159 what what? But I love trains? Was gonna recommend this? I haven't 577 00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:47.239 played either. I've I've had both, like on my prephery, but like, 578 00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:51.679 obviously it's not gonna happen this here. But I definitely could say you're 579 00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:54.599 both, Like jan, you've played both, which one would you recommend first? 580 00:39:55.000 --> 00:40:01.239 I am still leaning towards the Slay the Spire camp because that is not 581 00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:07.440 an easier roguelike, but a more digestible one rather than Monster Train Monster Train. 582 00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:12.360 You have to balance three lanes versus just the one. Cool. You 583 00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:15.280 gotta be a jungler, got a little mobile style exactly, you gotta be 584 00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:20.639 a little mobile. I love roguelikes, and I'm only recently really getting into 585 00:40:20.679 --> 00:40:23.719 card games, and this is just me. It seems like there's a whole 586 00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:28.079 world for me to unlock out there. I thought the bent of honest game 587 00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:30.320 trailers is going to turn very far away from Triple A titles and just right 588 00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:35.119 into like a very specific late card just card game joke. After card game 589 00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:37.239 joke, people are going to get so sick of it. We're gonna lose 590 00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:40.719 all our subscribers. Sorry to my bosses. It's gonna be worth it. 591 00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:45.719 It's we're going to find the right audience. Roguelikes and card games are two 592 00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:47.480 of the best genres that are the most like. If you mention them, 593 00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:51.559 people are like, oh, I don't like those games. I'm out here. 594 00:40:51.719 --> 00:40:54.000 That's like, oh, you know you. Roguelikes are just the best 595 00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:57.000 thing you could do, Like, the best thing you could turn a game 596 00:40:57.039 --> 00:41:00.519 into is a roguelike. And then card games. You can't put out a 597 00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:04.480 card game unless you've thought about the mechanics so hard. I mean by like 598 00:41:04.519 --> 00:41:06.960 what makes them fun at this point. So it's like, if you're putting 599 00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:08.920 out a card game in twenty twenty three, it's probably gonna be a good 600 00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:13.440 time. So yeah, up for those. I was thinking about this when 601 00:41:13.440 --> 00:41:15.960 I saw you streaming Slay the Spire Bailey, but I was thinking, holy 602 00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:20.559 smokes, have I been wrong. My whole life is math actually fun? 603 00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:24.239 Math is fun? Huh. Math can be fun. I didn't like math 604 00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:28.400 when I was growing up, but then when I worked a retail job and 605 00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:31.840 math became if you can do dixty percent off, you can figure out how 606 00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:35.960 much you can buy this item for Shundley. Math was a blast, and 607 00:41:36.039 --> 00:41:40.480 now math is in game and game and game even more fun than works like 608 00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:45.559 math Blaster, Like that's why I learned that like a math blaster. All 609 00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:50.159 right, game dev's listening to this podcast. Here's a free three million dollar 610 00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:53.360 idea. Here's your new roguelike or your new game idea to make all right, 611 00:41:53.760 --> 00:41:58.519 Basically, you just hand out change. You just hand out change because 612 00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:04.840 as some of that has worked a register before figuring out the proper change to 613 00:42:04.880 --> 00:42:08.239 hand out with coins very satisfying. Just turned out into a game, turned 614 00:42:08.320 --> 00:42:12.960 into ye have like the game well that should absolutely be a thing. And 615 00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:16.880 then like make it all complicated too, Like level two is like, oh 616 00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:22.599 but they're returning something and you introduce new currencies, right like you're just like, 617 00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:25.239 well, now you're getting making it, and you get sucked into a 618 00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:30.360 fantasy world where like they have like not just like dollars and cents, they 619 00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:34.880 have like gold and silver and buttons and stuff, and someone's trying to write 620 00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:39.039 a check and then you get nobody else can have this idea. Yeah, 621 00:42:39.119 --> 00:42:42.440 thank you, Bailey. Yeah, one of these days I gotta learn how 622 00:42:42.440 --> 00:42:45.159 to develop a game, and then we'll it'll happen. Guys. Well I 623 00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:46.920 think you just tell chat GPD to do it now it will happen. Oh 624 00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:50.840 totally, that's what I heard. That's what I heard. Yeah. And 625 00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:53.159 then just think about when you got to introduce cup ons and everything, right, 626 00:42:54.280 --> 00:42:59.719 yeah, I love cup ons. What no, that's DLC. The 627 00:42:59.719 --> 00:43:02.599 coup ponds is all DLC. Okay, all right, and then and then 628 00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:07.760 you could have like a peripheral with like you gotta scan the cup on and 629 00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:14.199 everything. All right. Oh that's yeah. There's something really satisfying about this 630 00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:15.320 game. I want to play it. Good job, what's it called? 631 00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:20.719 What's it called? What's it called? Uh? Chap two? Change change 632 00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:23.199 makers? A better change makers? Yeah? I like change makers. I 633 00:43:23.199 --> 00:43:25.800 do think that's good. Yes, yeah, okay, now there's actually a 634 00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:30.519 TM. Now there's actually a TM there. All right, guys, Yeah, 635 00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:34.480 game devs, we're homies, we're friends. I love I love everything 636 00:43:34.480 --> 00:43:37.239 you make, but don't work fifty fifty with you. Yeah, this this 637 00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:42.440 is why I should just produce stuff, because is the thirty meter? Is 638 00:43:42.440 --> 00:43:45.880 the seventies them to you to decide. It depends on how good of a 639 00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:49.920 lawyer you get. I guess you got to get a lawyer. Now change 640 00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:55.239 No, it's a business. Change the logo. Yeah, c is there. 641 00:43:55.440 --> 00:44:00.320 You get five hundred podcast points, change makers, plan making sense. 642 00:44:04.719 --> 00:44:07.960 That's the deal. See with the Kupins. J Yes, the cup Ons, 643 00:44:07.039 --> 00:44:13.440 the Kupins. Uh, Grub. I don't think you've beat this game 644 00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:17.159 yet? No you have not. No, I'm like not even really trying 645 00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:20.840 to beat it. I'm having fun doing it. Wh Wow, that's like 646 00:44:21.239 --> 00:44:23.840 you know, we're twenty minutes away from our destination. It's been a long 647 00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:29.199 drive to get to the airbnb.

I have to in Tears of the Kingdom by 657 00:45:01.079 --> 00:45:05.159 let's say, like by the end of this week. And so after as 658 00:45:05.159 --> 00:45:07.159 soon as I beat Pickman four, I jumped right back into Tears of the 659 00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:12.800 Kingdom and spent all weekend playing it again. And I've had the like the 660 00:45:12.960 --> 00:45:15.639 quest I've had. I think it's probably where backlard you're you're probably about there. 661 00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:20.519 It says a crisis at High Rule Castle. Can I interrupt you real 662 00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:23.400 quick? I will interrupt you real quick. Okay, it's a change makers. 663 00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:30.119 There's like sec after you get the change. Occasionally to break up the 664 00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:37.000 flow of gameplay, you have to bag the groceries and then it becomes like 665 00:45:37.039 --> 00:45:39.920 a resident evil for inventory game. And I know we have one of the 666 00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:45.119 you can do like ry Hatsworth where like both games are happening at the same 667 00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:52.199 time. This fucking game would sell a million units on mobile. I promise 668 00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:54.079 you, you know I know nothing about like three dollars on Steam and make 669 00:45:54.119 --> 00:45:58.000 a ton I don't know nothing about game development. I'm going to go buy 670 00:45:58.000 --> 00:46:04.280 a whiteboard after this and make a like a tree a chart yeah whatever, 671 00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:07.000 tree, come on, take a tree. Okay, I just do this, 672 00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:10.360 all right, Just just make a game everyone, all right? Please? 673 00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:13.000 No no, no, no no no. We should do a game 674 00:46:13.079 --> 00:46:15.960 jam. We should just try to figure out and then TMNT. All right, 675 00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:21.440 please please make the game your cowards, all right. Anyway, I'm 676 00:46:21.480 --> 00:46:23.119 supposed to be going to Hirol Castle. I went in there and cooked my 677 00:46:23.119 --> 00:46:27.880 head in, and uh, what I did is like I discovered the soldier 678 00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:30.239 armor and that's what I'm trying to upgrade as well. I'm like, you 679 00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:32.320 know what, let's go take care of a few things while I try to 680 00:46:32.320 --> 00:46:37.320 get the stuff I need to upgrade this armor. I need like three high 681 00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:40.000 Knocks guts and five of the Zoflo's tails, all kinds of stuff, And 682 00:46:40.519 --> 00:46:45.320 basically that means going out and just farming enemies I killed. I don't know. 683 00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:47.320 I think every Highknox that was in the world, which are like the 684 00:46:47.320 --> 00:46:51.119 big cave troll looking guys, I got killed everything. And this is like 685 00:46:51.159 --> 00:46:54.800 the base level Highknoxes because I think they drop the things I need, and 686 00:46:54.840 --> 00:46:59.159 I got like maybe two Highknocks guts, so I'm like waiting for the red 687 00:46:59.199 --> 00:47:01.800 moon to come back, right so they can respond, Yeah, the blood 688 00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:06.039 mood and is it a million times? How do you not know what it's 689 00:47:06.079 --> 00:47:08.559 cold? I skip it every time. Yeah, well sometimes it doesn't let 690 00:47:08.599 --> 00:47:13.840 me skip it. You got to hit the X and then start right away. 691 00:47:14.360 --> 00:47:19.079 Like in Breath of the Wild, she the blood moon rises once again. 692 00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:22.960 She sounds like this weird lady. Maybe my ability to tune things out. 693 00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:28.000 Oh my god, that's really impressed. Anyway, Yes, I'm waiting 694 00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:29.920 for the blood mood to come back, and so I'm like, I'll take 695 00:47:29.960 --> 00:47:31.000 care of a few other things out in the world that I was having fun 696 00:47:31.039 --> 00:47:36.320 with, and I'm doing like all the pen missions and stuff, the journalist 697 00:47:36.360 --> 00:47:38.880 missions, and that's I love the journalist missions. I love. When I 698 00:47:38.960 --> 00:47:42.960 ran out of those, I was like, genuinely sad I didn't have any 699 00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:45.639 more to do. That guy's the best. I think they're in love. 700 00:47:45.079 --> 00:47:49.280 I'm pretty sure they're in love. Oh yeah, like they are. Like 701 00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:52.079 it's there's a lot of tension there and I really like it a lot. 702 00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:55.079 Like there was a fun one where like there's this the all clucking cucko. 703 00:47:55.280 --> 00:47:59.400 I think it's how you say it, yes, yes, and it's like 704 00:47:59.440 --> 00:48:01.079 the oh, this Cuco that can tell you the fortunes and stuff, and 705 00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:05.079 everyone goes and gets in line and tries to hear their fortunes and all it 706 00:48:05.119 --> 00:48:07.079 really has to do is a bunch of like go get on that building and 707 00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:09.960 we'll tell your future or whatever. And it's like all these challenges. It's 708 00:48:09.960 --> 00:48:14.760 really stupid, but I really like it. And of course the Cuco spoilers 709 00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:15.840 is it. I mean you know this, come on, everyone knows this. 710 00:48:16.119 --> 00:48:20.880 It's a Yiga Clan guy in disguise and he pops out and he fights 711 00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:22.840 you, and every time something's like from the Yiga Clan, I'm like, 712 00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:25.760 yeah, I love these idiots. They're so dumb, they're so stupid. 713 00:48:25.760 --> 00:48:29.920 They're like the worst criminals ever, and I love just beating them up. 714 00:48:29.920 --> 00:48:34.519 So I was presents in this game, like have you explored much of the 715 00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:43.239 downstairs area? Because you wow, you a hundred wait downstairs, you've hundred 716 00:48:43.239 --> 00:48:47.199 percent of the downstairs and you haven't finished Crisis in High Rule Castle. So 717 00:48:47.320 --> 00:48:51.159 that brings us to the next thing that happened to me my Game of the 718 00:48:51.239 --> 00:48:54.159 Year moment. I was just like, in doing one of these pen missions, 719 00:48:54.199 --> 00:48:58.559 and I was so buy the one of these stables, and I talked 720 00:48:58.599 --> 00:49:00.000 to someone It's like, hey, that fucking up there, huh. I'm 721 00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:04.320 like, yeah, that's it looks like there's probably some fun stuff in there. 722 00:49:04.320 --> 00:49:06.800 I should go check it out. Very good point video game. And 723 00:49:06.880 --> 00:49:08.320 so I I clean up some of the pen missions and I'm like, okay, 724 00:49:08.360 --> 00:49:10.480 I'll figure out how to get up there, and I build I don't 725 00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:13.719 know, I built like an aircraft or I think I built my hover bike, 726 00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:16.599 and I hover biked into these clouds and it's it's pea soup. You 727 00:49:16.679 --> 00:49:21.760 cannot see shit, like it's so so so foggy, and I'm starting to 728 00:49:21.760 --> 00:49:23.599 get the point, like the idea, like I'm not supposed to be here, 729 00:49:23.840 --> 00:49:28.920 but the game won't stop me. And boy, that's just about the 730 00:49:28.920 --> 00:49:31.360 best thing in the video game that that I enjoy experiencing. So it's like, 731 00:49:31.440 --> 00:49:34.360 you're not supposed to be here, but if you want to be here, 732 00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:37.360 feel free to do it. And I'm like finding land occasionally and my 733 00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:40.840 my shrine sensor goes off. It's like, hey, there's something nearby. 734 00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:43.679 I'm like, okay, I'm gonna find this, so at least I can 735 00:49:43.679 --> 00:49:46.119 get a checkpoint up here that I can fast travel back too. I forgot 736 00:49:46.159 --> 00:49:50.280 about my portable fast travel points. I should have just dropped one of those, 737 00:49:50.400 --> 00:49:52.519 but I'm like, I'll find this shrine and I fell. Should we 738 00:49:52.679 --> 00:49:58.960 should we put a spoiler tag there's you can make you can make travel. 739 00:49:59.079 --> 00:50:01.440 Okay, it's been half a year. We can I'm gonna talk about the 740 00:50:01.440 --> 00:50:05.480 game a little bit, so I need to just need to follow up with 741 00:50:05.599 --> 00:50:07.599 you after this. Okay, Yeah, are we talking about the group of 742 00:50:07.639 --> 00:50:14.880 sky islands that look kind of like a dragon. Yes, Okay, back 743 00:50:14.920 --> 00:50:16.800 on this. I am going to get into the spoilers now. So okay, 744 00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:20.440 okay, let me let me just hey, folks, if you're watching 745 00:50:20.480 --> 00:50:23.960 and listening, quick spoilers. Yes, So, I I fall off the 746 00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:28.000 island and I'm falling through the clouds and I'm like shit, and I'm just 747 00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:30.360 trying to find any other island to land on, and it's I can't see 748 00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:34.159 anything. I can't see five feet in front of my face. So I'm 749 00:50:34.199 --> 00:50:37.320 like just I'm like hoping I get lucky. And then the shrine Stansor goes 750 00:50:37.320 --> 00:50:39.800 off again and I'm able to like triangulate the direction I'm supposed to go in, 751 00:50:39.880 --> 00:50:44.440 and I land right on this island and I'm like, okay, I'll 752 00:50:44.480 --> 00:50:45.519 guess I'll find the shrine. I find the shrine, I turn it on, 753 00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:49.880 and then I turn around and there's this weird mask behind me, and 754 00:50:49.960 --> 00:50:52.039 I pick up the mask and it shines a laser beam down to the ground, 755 00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:55.000 and I'm like, what, I've never seen anything like this in this 756 00:50:55.039 --> 00:51:00.119 game. What is this? And so I glue that to a plane and 757 00:51:00.159 --> 00:51:01.519 I fly to follow the ways or beam down because it's like one of those 758 00:51:01.679 --> 00:51:05.679 those shrine crystals that you need to take there it tells you where to go, 759 00:51:06.239 --> 00:51:10.039 and I follow it down. We go underground, and all of a 760 00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:14.360 sudden, I'm in this big thing that I've seen before, Like it's called 761 00:51:14.360 --> 00:51:16.239 like the Left Leg Shrine and the Right Leg Shrine. I've been there before. 762 00:51:16.320 --> 00:51:20.800 I again, I've one percent of the downstairs. And then all of 763 00:51:20.840 --> 00:51:23.920 a sudden activates and I'm putting the pieces together of this big machine. And 764 00:51:24.679 --> 00:51:28.079 all while this is happening, I look at my menu and it says, 765 00:51:28.239 --> 00:51:30.480 oh, by the way, your main quest has been updated. I'm like, 766 00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:31.679 wait, what this has been quest stuff? I thought I'm just going 767 00:51:31.719 --> 00:51:36.679 to the castle to defeat again, and this is incredible. There's so much 768 00:51:36.679 --> 00:51:38.880 more in this game, and it's like I could just stumble. Sequence breaking 769 00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:44.559 is fun. Sequence breaking and such a large game like this feels like I 770 00:51:44.599 --> 00:51:46.840 have ownership of the experience in such a way that it just it blew me 771 00:51:46.880 --> 00:51:50.920 away. I won't get into too many other details because it's like, I'm 772 00:51:50.920 --> 00:51:54.000 just gonna talk about what is the quest? But doing that was it blew 773 00:51:54.079 --> 00:51:55.920 me away? And I'm just like, yep, this is this is it 774 00:51:55.960 --> 00:52:00.159 for me. This is the exact kind of game I want. All are 775 00:52:00.760 --> 00:52:06.199 folks, were We're clear, We're clear, We're clear. Thank thank you 776 00:52:06.280 --> 00:52:10.519 listening. Sorry, my mind is like, so you probably I think a 777 00:52:10.519 --> 00:52:14.039 lot of you did it in the right order. You didn't, So I'm 778 00:52:14.039 --> 00:52:16.320 like so desperate to hear what that is. So we should eventually do a 779 00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:22.519 spoiler cast. We should. My major, my major thing with the Depths 780 00:52:22.599 --> 00:52:24.840 is I'm a little scaredy cat with a coward's heart. So I was like 781 00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:30.800 very afraid of going down there because I didn't want hands with eyeballs to my 782 00:52:30.880 --> 00:52:32.960 soul. God, have you ever beaten one of those? Yes? Well, 783 00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:37.079 now I have a lot of times. I'm not afraid of them anymore. 784 00:52:37.119 --> 00:52:39.760 Eventure, I think you need to write doing one of the main things 785 00:52:42.320 --> 00:52:45.559 you will you will have once you are done with Crisis and Higher Rule Castle, 786 00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:52.280 you will know how to beat them. Okay, so that's still like 787 00:52:52.320 --> 00:52:53.960 the thing there, even though my main quest updated, like I did this 788 00:52:54.039 --> 00:52:57.960 other part of the main quest. Now it's been like lopped off and I'm 789 00:52:58.000 --> 00:53:00.360 still at Crisis in hierro Cast. Yeah. No, exploring the depths has 790 00:53:00.360 --> 00:53:04.159 been a thing I've been like doing on my own time, like because again 791 00:53:04.239 --> 00:53:07.639 because also again I was trying to get through the game in a week. 792 00:53:07.119 --> 00:53:10.440 Ye works, So like I was like, exploring the depth seems cool, 793 00:53:10.519 --> 00:53:14.840 but this is something I'm just going to have to get exactly exactly. Like 794 00:53:14.880 --> 00:53:17.960 Oh, I decided early on, since I wasn't doing a review and I 795 00:53:17.960 --> 00:53:21.960 didn't have that time pressure, I was going to get myself the permission to 796 00:53:22.039 --> 00:53:24.480 explore this world how I wanted to, and very quickly I'm like, I 797 00:53:24.519 --> 00:53:30.599 think I just want to percent depths. A big part of that is realizing 798 00:53:30.639 --> 00:53:34.480 the connection to the surface world, and that made it easier to spot all 799 00:53:34.519 --> 00:53:37.159 the shrines on the surface because they're their linked together. So I was like, 800 00:53:37.199 --> 00:53:38.400 that way I can get all the shrines. And I'm not like one 801 00:53:38.440 --> 00:53:42.679 hundred and twenty five shrines completed, and I'm like, I've realized there's one 802 00:53:42.760 --> 00:53:44.840 hundred and fifty two. So I'm probably not going to do it because I 803 00:53:44.880 --> 00:53:47.920 don't want to do a pixel hunt to find the last few. But you 804 00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:51.280 know, that was fun. Also, it turns out like the names of 805 00:53:51.280 --> 00:53:53.920 the shrines and the names of the roots, the light roots, they're the 806 00:53:53.960 --> 00:53:57.239 same thing. They're just backwards and forwards. And it took me the entire 807 00:53:57.239 --> 00:54:00.559 game to realize that. Yeah, all that stuff so fun. So I 808 00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:02.639 was like, I'm glad I could play the game this way and I didn't 809 00:54:02.639 --> 00:54:07.039 try to rush it because I otherwise I think I would not have done so 810 00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:09.000 many of these things. And really it's just confirmed it for Game of Bear 811 00:54:09.079 --> 00:54:14.719 for me. So I just love seeing folks in the chat make that connection. 812 00:54:15.559 --> 00:54:21.039 So the way I'm playing this game, what's that turboshn to make a 813 00:54:21.119 --> 00:54:27.320 joke about what how Mike got a Nintendo jail for saying how many careful numbers 814 00:54:27.800 --> 00:54:30.880 I plan? So I'm playing this with like my kid kind of being the 815 00:54:31.079 --> 00:54:37.280 driving you know force like he has like yeah, exactly, he has like 816 00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:42.559 the agency, right, and he's like, we gotta do the regional phenomenon 817 00:54:42.639 --> 00:54:45.559 like right away, and we kind of mainline that a couple side quests here 818 00:54:45.599 --> 00:54:50.360 and there. Have you guys done the dragon tears? We've done too. 819 00:54:50.719 --> 00:54:53.119 You need that's what you need to do next, Okay, So it is 820 00:54:53.199 --> 00:54:57.559 so amazing. So yeah, I could see what that is, sort of 821 00:54:57.639 --> 00:55:00.800 leading up to the one that's like tattooed on a outain near the Lightning Temple. 822 00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:05.519 I like, we like can't find it. It's there. I'm just 823 00:55:05.519 --> 00:55:07.119 trying to get a pie and like look for the one that's a bit Yeah, 824 00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:09.800 I know you brute force it too. Yeah, for sure. Time 825 00:55:09.960 --> 00:55:15.079 So looking around, but like you know you talked about I heard about one 826 00:55:15.079 --> 00:55:16.719 of those things you were talking about with like a new sort of censor. 827 00:55:16.920 --> 00:55:22.360 There's like an ability we still don't have that. I know because I played 828 00:55:22.360 --> 00:55:27.559 the preview and we don't have that yet, right, And I'm like, 829 00:55:27.599 --> 00:55:30.159 that's like doing the I'll just get like give you the right direction? Is 830 00:55:30.159 --> 00:55:31.960 that? Okay? I don't want to spoil any sure, that's fine. 831 00:55:32.360 --> 00:55:37.400 If I think if you do any of the stuff with the scientists Robbie yeah, 832 00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:42.280 and like going down to the depths and finding Yeah, so like I 833 00:55:42.280 --> 00:55:44.639 want to do that with that stuff. I just like stumbled on that stuff 834 00:55:44.639 --> 00:55:45.599 as well. And then later I'm like, oh, I'm gat excited and 835 00:55:45.719 --> 00:55:49.719 talk to this guy about this other thing. So talk to him. Yeah, 836 00:55:49.840 --> 00:55:52.760 like I want to do that stuff, Like there's there. I think 837 00:55:52.760 --> 00:55:57.199 they are main quests. They're considered main quests, but they're not like the 838 00:55:57.239 --> 00:56:00.360 main main like one a stuff. So I feel like on this trip we're 839 00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:04.719 gonna I'm like, let's be explorers, right, I'm trying to like, 840 00:56:05.320 --> 00:56:08.159 you know, push that agenda on him, like we should explore more. 841 00:56:08.199 --> 00:56:10.840 We shouldn't just like go to the dot. We have to explore. We 842 00:56:10.840 --> 00:56:14.400 got to find this stuff. But the depths are scary. I get it, 843 00:56:14.480 --> 00:56:15.679 Like I like, yeah, it does not want to go there, 844 00:56:16.320 --> 00:56:20.599 Like that's what I feel the exact same ways barely where it's like I am 845 00:56:20.760 --> 00:56:22.920 scaredy cat, I definitely am. And I'm like I just got to force 846 00:56:23.000 --> 00:56:27.400 myself for myself at it. So I know what's in the shadows and it 847 00:56:27.480 --> 00:56:30.000 usually it's just a big frocks, a giant frog guy and playing I can 848 00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:35.320 outrun him. But yeah, the major for me was when I put a 849 00:56:35.320 --> 00:56:38.000 big light bulb, the big light bulb plant on my hoverbike so I could 850 00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:40.760 just like light up the whole thing as I'm flying around. That's very helpful. 851 00:56:40.800 --> 00:56:44.320 I locked it for me. Yeah. The major thing that made it 852 00:56:44.400 --> 00:56:50.079 easier for me to feel comfortable walking around down there was upgrading my getting the 853 00:56:50.159 --> 00:56:55.400 gloom outfit and getting the minor outfit which closed. Both of those things have 854 00:56:55.519 --> 00:57:00.920 been critical in my fearlessness and being able to just sort of freely tromp around 855 00:57:01.000 --> 00:57:06.039 down there, and also doing the thing that you accidentally did made a big 856 00:57:06.079 --> 00:57:09.400 difference, Jeff, because you can just hop on its back and walk. 857 00:57:10.559 --> 00:57:15.440 Put the fucking since so insane that that's just in the game. A man. 858 00:57:15.880 --> 00:57:21.159 I love it. It's it's it's taken over so much of my life 859 00:57:21.199 --> 00:57:23.639 and of my gaming life, and it's it's just the best. Yep, 860 00:57:23.760 --> 00:57:29.320 it really is. I'm I am going to try to beat it, you 861 00:57:29.400 --> 00:57:31.039 know what, Okay, all right, I believe in you. Yes, 862 00:57:31.159 --> 00:57:36.360 I just got to commit to it. I feel like I've been putting it 863 00:57:36.400 --> 00:57:39.360 off because I'm a baby gamer, right and I feel like I'm gonna give 864 00:57:39.440 --> 00:57:43.519 myself a deadline. Okay, I'm gonna give myself a deadline, and I'm 865 00:57:43.519 --> 00:57:46.519 gonna put I'm gonna put put put some put some steaks on it, all 866 00:57:46.599 --> 00:57:54.760 right, okaypp some sloppy steaks.

Well, we're gonna take a quick break as I 950 01:03:32.280 --> 01:03:38.639 think about my words and deeds and the ramifications of them, and then we'll 951 01:03:38.639 --> 01:03:50.440 be back with some news news. This is the news of the show. 952 01:03:52.039 --> 01:04:00.320 Grubmo, Hi got I got news for everybody. Uh, Starfield out in 953 01:04:00.320 --> 01:04:02.039 a couple of weeks. You know what that means. It's time for it's 954 01:04:02.119 --> 01:04:08.360 time for everyone to freak out and have some puddle news. Pete Hines is 955 01:04:08.360 --> 01:04:14.079 telling fans to r e lax, relax because Starfield fud is really just it's 956 01:04:14.159 --> 01:04:16.719 up and out there. People are they have fears, they have uncertainties, 957 01:04:16.760 --> 01:04:20.719 and they have doubts, and it is just getting scripting people. For example, 958 01:04:20.719 --> 01:04:24.679 a couple of sites, we're reporting that Starfield review codes we're not going 959 01:04:24.719 --> 01:04:27.800 to go out until September first. That is the same day that it goes 960 01:04:27.840 --> 01:04:30.000 out for early access. If you pay like the extra fee to get one 961 01:04:30.039 --> 01:04:33.000 of the collector's editions, you can begin playing the game on September first. 962 01:04:33.039 --> 01:04:35.360 So they were everyone's like, oh my god, we're not gonna have reviews 963 01:04:35.360 --> 01:04:41.599 in time. This isn't true, according to a bunch of other sites. 964 01:04:41.599 --> 01:04:44.159 I wouldn't know anything about that, but a lot of other sites are implying 965 01:04:44.199 --> 01:04:46.360 that we may be getting review codes much earlier, maybe by the end of 966 01:04:46.360 --> 01:04:49.719 this week. Again, who who could say for sure, But there's no 967 01:04:50.800 --> 01:04:54.119 way to know. I certainly do not know, but the a lot of 968 01:04:54.119 --> 01:04:57.239 sites are saying that. At the same time, people were like, hey, 969 01:04:57.280 --> 01:05:00.039 Pete Hines, why do you keep talking about these chairs that are based 970 01:05:00.039 --> 01:05:03.760 on Starfield. We want to know that the game has gone gold, which 971 01:05:06.119 --> 01:05:10.440 anymore, right, it doesn't mean anything, Okay, it means something. 972 01:05:10.440 --> 01:05:13.280 It does mean that you have a gold master that you sent to the disc 973 01:05:13.679 --> 01:05:16.039 manufacturing plant that is going to be the version that goes on on discs. 974 01:05:16.119 --> 01:05:20.679 There's a gold Master. That's what means. Yes, that's what going gold 975 01:05:20.880 --> 01:05:25.559 used to mean. It still means that. It just it doesn't mean a 976 01:05:25.559 --> 01:05:29.400 lot for us in terms of like people playing games, because the games are 977 01:05:29.480 --> 01:05:32.519 continue to get updates through the first several days of release, and it's just 978 01:05:32.599 --> 01:05:35.480 they're still going to be working on the game. They're they're not all going 979 01:05:35.519 --> 01:05:41.360 home and taking vacations yet, but pans. Basically, his response is that, 980 01:05:41.440 --> 01:05:43.480 like, take a deep breath. I have an amazing team. We 981 01:05:43.559 --> 01:05:45.679 know what we're doing, so it's just like again, just relax. We're 982 01:05:45.679 --> 01:05:48.039 figuring out where we haven't told you it's gone gold because it's we don't think 983 01:05:48.039 --> 01:05:51.199 it's very important, or it might not have happened yet. Games don't have 984 01:05:51.239 --> 01:05:55.480 to go gold up until about a week before they actually go in source. 985 01:05:55.800 --> 01:05:59.719 And for people who can't read between the lines, what Pete is actually saying, 986 01:06:00.239 --> 01:06:02.320 get fucked nerds. Yeah, okay, basically, yeah, it's because 987 01:06:02.320 --> 01:06:04.639 it's he knows, he knows it's puddle news. He knows that this is 988 01:06:04.639 --> 01:06:09.920 just people anxieties about something that they're excited for, that they're getting ready to 989 01:06:09.960 --> 01:06:13.400 spend money on. And it's just it's a natural thing that happens more and 990 01:06:13.440 --> 01:06:15.679 more with games and habits, with games that are good, bad and everything 991 01:06:15.719 --> 01:06:18.800 in between. We just don't know until we're actually playing the game. But 992 01:06:18.840 --> 01:06:23.039 yeah, I don't know, like, how is everyone feeling about Starfield right 993 01:06:23.079 --> 01:06:25.800 now? Do you or do you even have feelings about it? Because I 994 01:06:25.880 --> 01:06:28.119 put it into a little compartment where it's like, I'm not even gonna think 995 01:06:28.119 --> 01:06:29.960 about it until I'm playing it. I don't know. Yeah, I put 996 01:06:30.000 --> 01:06:31.639 it away like you did. Yeah, yeah, that's in my pocket. 997 01:06:32.280 --> 01:06:36.559 Yeah. I love those controllers though, I got my note over there in 998 01:06:36.559 --> 01:06:43.480 my chair out. They have a nice color scheme watch that they announced is 999 01:06:43.519 --> 01:06:47.159 really neat looking. But I don't need to watch. Yes, some people 1000 01:06:47.239 --> 01:06:51.679 might begin to watch. Who could say, come on, man? Who 1001 01:06:51.679 --> 01:06:56.159 could say that they maybe got that email and then didn't didn't tell back lar 1002 01:06:56.199 --> 01:07:00.119 about its took it themselves. Who could say I couldn't say, well, 1003 01:07:00.119 --> 01:07:02.559 why shouldn't I get it over you? I don't understand that I'm saying I 1004 01:07:02.599 --> 01:07:08.559 got the stranded in space? Who else would it go to? I? 1005 01:07:08.719 --> 01:07:15.199 Oh, I boffman? You know anyway? Yes, So other than like 1006 01:07:15.239 --> 01:07:16.840 getting excited, like hey, eventually we're gonna be playing this game pretty soon, 1007 01:07:18.239 --> 01:07:21.039 Yes, not much to think about because I don't know. People want 1008 01:07:21.079 --> 01:07:25.360 to have opinions about stuff before they played it. But that's pretty dumb. 1009 01:07:25.639 --> 01:07:28.760 Don't do that. You could just wait a couple more days and figure it 1010 01:07:28.760 --> 01:07:30.239 out for yourself when you once you've actually gotten your hands on it, and 1011 01:07:30.239 --> 01:07:32.039 it's in game pass, so you don't even have to like pay a lot 1012 01:07:32.039 --> 01:07:38.800 to do that. Bolters Gate three almost surpassed Hogwart Legacy Hogwarts Legacies Steam record 1013 01:07:39.280 --> 01:07:43.960 uh ten days post release. Balder's Gate three record peaked at concurrent players of 1014 01:07:44.000 --> 01:07:46.199 eight hundred and seventy five thousand, three hundred and forty three. That's according 1015 01:07:46.239 --> 01:07:51.559 the Steam database. The popularity boosted by Leian STOs, RPG reputation and influencers 1016 01:07:51.599 --> 01:07:57.519 pushing simultaneous online play. Basically the game is just catching on everywhere. It's 1017 01:07:57.559 --> 01:08:00.719 catching on on social media, it's catching on on Twitch, it's catching on 1018 01:08:00.800 --> 01:08:04.000 in like people's discords, and that word of mouth has just really set fire 1019 01:08:04.039 --> 01:08:08.519 to the game, and it's it's got very close to Hogwarts Legacies eight hundred 1020 01:08:08.559 --> 01:08:12.440 and seventy nine thousand, three hundred and eight concurrent players, so basically like 1021 01:08:12.559 --> 01:08:15.880 right in that same range, like they're almost tied, which is the eighth 1022 01:08:15.920 --> 01:08:18.359 highest of all time on Steam, but the highest for this year was Hogwarts 1023 01:08:18.439 --> 01:08:21.800 Legacy. Other games that might have like, like, if you're like looking 1024 01:08:21.800 --> 01:08:24.720 for a point of comparison, oh, it's the eighth highest. Ever, 1025 01:08:24.920 --> 01:08:28.399 what else what other games have done really well? A pub player Unknowns Battlegrounds 1026 01:08:28.479 --> 01:08:32.479 one time had three point two five million concurrent players. Cyberpunk has the record 1027 01:08:32.520 --> 01:08:36.840 for single player games with one point zero five million concurrent players all at one 1028 01:08:36.880 --> 01:08:41.760 time, So nothing quite to that level. Yet the idea that Boulder's Gate 1029 01:08:41.760 --> 01:08:45.079 three is even anywhere close to that is still surprising to me. So a 1030 01:08:45.119 --> 01:08:47.640 lot of people playing it, and like, what do you guys like chalk 1031 01:08:47.760 --> 01:08:50.600 that up to because there was I didn't see a big marketing campaign. It 1032 01:08:50.640 --> 01:08:56.960 really is just people talking about it right purely that it feels like and then 1033 01:08:57.079 --> 01:09:02.640 just maybe not maybe bouncing off Diablo four, uh and not having like a 1034 01:09:02.680 --> 01:09:06.600 fantasy style game, you know. I think we've talked about it on Game 1035 01:09:06.600 --> 01:09:10.880 Miss Mornings a couple of times. But D and D has also grown in 1036 01:09:10.920 --> 01:09:15.479 a major way in popularity. Like there's there's DND podcasts for every type of 1037 01:09:15.520 --> 01:09:21.600 flavor of DND, right yep, except a wrestling based quest of DND. 1038 01:09:21.760 --> 01:09:26.840 As far as I know, I you know, I've seen some headlines on 1039 01:09:26.880 --> 01:09:28.880 about this. I haven't had a chance to read the stories. But also 1040 01:09:28.920 --> 01:09:33.239 it does feel like sort of the horniness finding it's footing in the mainstream in 1041 01:09:33.239 --> 01:09:36.319 a really strong way. Obviously the bear fucking everyone points out, and I 1042 01:09:36.319 --> 01:09:42.640 don't I don't think anyone's joking when they like making something that feels like an 1043 01:09:42.720 --> 01:09:47.319 online slash vic or even like a grocery store like romance novel, but treating 1044 01:09:47.359 --> 01:09:50.199 it with a ton of care and presenting it in a way that's like, 1045 01:09:50.399 --> 01:09:54.880 of course you want to be playing in this universe with and then like you 1046 01:09:54.880 --> 01:09:58.520 know, playing with you sexual ideas, like that's sub stuff that is like 1047 01:09:58.720 --> 01:10:01.760 I think, really appealing and has had a lot of chance to feel acceptable. 1048 01:10:01.760 --> 01:10:04.199 And this game has really gone a long way towards doing that, I 1049 01:10:04.199 --> 01:10:06.800 think, and it's getting it's reaping the rewards. Yeah. I mean, 1050 01:10:06.800 --> 01:10:13.000 it's like folks that say movies shouldn't have romance scenes or any intimacy, right 1051 01:10:13.119 --> 01:10:15.439 because it does nothing for the plot. And it's like, well it, 1052 01:10:15.560 --> 01:10:18.720 go fuck yourself exactly, exactly, go touch grass and I'm not going to 1053 01:10:18.760 --> 01:10:23.800 finish that, right, But like, you know, having that type of 1054 01:10:23.800 --> 01:10:28.479 thing in a game, it adds to like people's escapism, right sure of 1055 01:10:28.640 --> 01:10:31.640 Like, hey, I walked in on a very intimate scene between an ogre 1056 01:10:31.720 --> 01:10:38.760 and another ogre. Oh yeah, I would like to see that. I 1057 01:10:38.880 --> 01:10:42.359 cannot get anyone to have sex with my character though I don't know what I 1058 01:10:42.399 --> 01:10:45.600 did wrong. No one likes her. They're like like a star On was 1059 01:10:45.720 --> 01:10:48.199 like, oh, yes, I'm very interested in hooking up, just not 1060 01:10:48.319 --> 01:10:53.079 with you obviously, like you said it like that, and I was like, 1061 01:10:53.279 --> 01:10:56.520 okay, man, are you feeling the like boner rolls? Like, 1062 01:10:56.560 --> 01:11:06.680 what's going on here? Feeling every boner roll shit? Can weds? Failing 1063 01:11:06.720 --> 01:11:10.239 boner rolls? Yeah, I think we can do that. Failing boner rolls 1064 01:11:10.319 --> 01:11:13.279 is absolutely acceptable. Okay, all right, right there you go. You 1065 01:11:13.319 --> 01:11:15.640 heard it. Yeah, your boner's stats. All right, let's see where 1066 01:11:15.640 --> 01:11:18.840 am I at. We now know who Embracers failed two billion dollars deal was 1067 01:11:18.880 --> 01:11:25.000 with Swedish companies. Major deal collapsed unexpectedly and unexpectedly in May, leading to 1068 01:11:25.159 --> 01:11:30.039 a significant reduction and it's earnings forecast AXIO. So Steven Totelo over there did 1069 01:11:30.079 --> 01:11:32.920 some reporting and identified that the party was Savvy, which is, of course, 1070 01:11:33.039 --> 01:11:38.239 Saudi Arabia's game group. Embracers CEO stated the deal broke down after seven 1071 01:11:38.239 --> 01:11:41.399 months of negotiations and it would have been worth two billion dollars and then that 1072 01:11:41.439 --> 01:11:47.520 money just whoop went away overnight. There's no direct explanation of why Savvy pulled 1073 01:11:47.520 --> 01:11:50.239 out, why they were like, we're going to drop this this deal. 1074 01:11:51.520 --> 01:11:55.840 We could speculate that maybe they're not so certain about Embracer's future, and I 1075 01:11:55.880 --> 01:12:00.399 think everyone that's a pretty easy assumption to make. That is that became reality 1076 01:12:00.439 --> 01:12:01.680 as soon as they steal stopped, like what was it didn't go through, 1077 01:12:01.760 --> 01:12:05.760 Embracer was in a in serious trouble. Now they're in cost cutting mode. 1078 01:12:06.439 --> 01:12:12.239 But also it just feels like, I don't know, Saudi Arabia might also 1079 01:12:12.279 --> 01:12:15.079 be second guessing, like their strategy of in sending money all over the place 1080 01:12:15.319 --> 01:12:18.000 into all these games studios, but maybe not. Maybe it's just Embracer as 1081 01:12:18.039 --> 01:12:23.560 a specific example. Do you guys think Embracer group gonna still be a thing 1082 01:12:23.600 --> 01:12:28.479 in a couple of years. That's a really difficult thing. You're just sort 1083 01:12:28.520 --> 01:12:32.680 of throwing darts at a dartboard here. Yeah, it's it's it's really yes, 1084 01:12:32.760 --> 01:12:35.800 because who I mean, they could always skate by. But I mean, 1085 01:12:36.359 --> 01:12:39.399 I don't know, it feels like the same at the same time that 1086 01:12:39.399 --> 01:12:42.840 they might just try to fire sale and get their way out of there because 1087 01:12:43.000 --> 01:12:46.319 it's tough to imagine a future where they are making enough games to pay for 1088 01:12:46.399 --> 01:12:53.039 all that they have going on is a lot. Yeah, divesting makes sense, 1089 01:12:53.079 --> 01:12:57.159 I think, uh, you know they have so they've had some successful 1090 01:12:57.199 --> 01:13:00.239 games. None are coming to mind right now. I know for fact, 1091 01:13:00.239 --> 01:13:01.840 they had a couple this year that did very well, like surprisingly good, 1092 01:13:02.479 --> 01:13:08.439 but they like in the fall out of that, they were like, this, 1093 01:13:08.600 --> 01:13:11.479 we still ought to cut costs because we're nowhere near make enough profit even 1094 01:13:11.479 --> 01:13:14.239 though we had we do have these successful games, and it's like okay, 1095 01:13:14.520 --> 01:13:17.199 So they they would have to have like ten times the amount of successful games 1096 01:13:17.199 --> 01:13:19.800 for this whole thing to make sense. And that's that's where it makes it 1097 01:13:19.960 --> 01:13:25.159 seem like divesting is maybe their only option or selling to someone else. That 1098 01:13:25.239 --> 01:13:30.680 is in Saudi Arabia Assassins, there's a Creed Mirage is coming early. You'd 1099 01:13:30.720 --> 01:13:33.560 bestoft to move to Assassin's Creed Mirage released to October fifth, from its original 1100 01:13:33.680 --> 01:13:38.159 date of October twelfth. It's coming to PC, PlayStation, an Xbox. 1101 01:13:38.479 --> 01:13:42.239 This does help it get out ahead of allen Wick two, Spider Man two 1102 01:13:42.239 --> 01:13:45.720 in Super Mario Brothers Wonder, which we're all coming out basically around the exact 1103 01:13:45.760 --> 01:13:48.039 same time, and I think if one of those games had to move, 1104 01:13:48.600 --> 01:13:51.560 it was probably right. That's Assassin's Creed Mirage, right, that felt like 1105 01:13:51.560 --> 01:13:55.199 the one that was going to get forgotten out of those games. I don't 1106 01:13:55.199 --> 01:13:58.079 know what do you guys have a tier list? If you asked me what 1107 01:13:58.239 --> 01:14:02.039 the subtitle of Assassin's Creed was like yesterday, I don't think I could do 1108 01:14:02.079 --> 01:14:06.840 it for millions. I think that I've had multiple people in games Mornings who 1109 01:14:06.920 --> 01:14:12.000 I know we've talked about Mirage before and be like, what is that? 1110 01:14:12.119 --> 01:14:14.720 We have to like look it up and stuff like multiple times. Now. 1111 01:14:15.039 --> 01:14:18.359 I would have lost every bet. Oh god, yeah, you would have 1112 01:14:18.359 --> 01:14:21.520 had to shade your head. I would have had a grown up I would 1113 01:14:21.520 --> 01:14:26.800 have grown out all my hair. Uh. It's crazy that I don't that 1114 01:14:26.840 --> 01:14:30.119 I did not remember what that was, but yeah, obviously it needs to 1115 01:14:30.119 --> 01:14:32.279 get out of the way. Yeah, I just uh, for me, 1116 01:14:32.680 --> 01:14:35.640 I would play Alan Wick two, Spider Man two, and Super Mario Brothers 1117 01:14:35.640 --> 01:14:41.560 Wonder all before Assassin's Cream Mirage. And I'm a little bit interested in Assassin's 1118 01:14:41.560 --> 01:14:45.000 Cream Rage. Yeah. Yeah, I'm Assassin's Creed Curious all over again. 1119 01:14:45.079 --> 01:14:49.079 But I would sooner Circle back to something like Hi Fi Rush or Octopath. 1120 01:14:49.840 --> 01:14:55.920 Wow, that's I praise Bailey. When you're like sketch sketching out like a 1121 01:14:55.960 --> 01:15:00.159 general schedule for doing honest games trailers. Do you like look at the these 1122 01:15:00.199 --> 01:15:01.760 games and like this one standout is the one that you have to do first? 1123 01:15:01.880 --> 01:15:10.920 Or oh god, I mean we want it there. The timing of 1124 01:15:10.920 --> 01:15:14.600 it is really just about like it's not really about like which one do I 1125 01:15:14.600 --> 01:15:16.600 want to do first? But which one do I think I can finish first? 1126 01:15:16.960 --> 01:15:20.279 And like the order. I have another writer who works with me, 1127 01:15:20.319 --> 01:15:25.560 who takes the lead on scripts every other week, right, and so it's 1128 01:15:25.600 --> 01:15:29.239 divvying up, like he has to do Alan Wake because it's a scary game, 1129 01:15:29.279 --> 01:15:30.159 so I'm not going to be able to get through the way he can. 1130 01:15:31.640 --> 01:15:38.399 And the month of October, huh, I'm gonna I'm dying, is 1131 01:15:38.439 --> 01:15:41.960 what I'm doing. I'm just playing a million games all at once and not 1132 01:15:42.000 --> 01:15:45.960 seeing anyone I know, and just trying so hard to write jokes about them, 1133 01:15:45.000 --> 01:15:48.000 but then forgetting how jokes works, and then reading all the comments and 1134 01:15:48.039 --> 01:15:54.079 getting sack is no one thinks funny. I've never I've never played Fatal Frame 1135 01:15:54.119 --> 01:15:57.479 and I've always been very curious about Fatal Frame. Uh. You know, 1136 01:15:57.520 --> 01:16:01.720 I'm also a scaredy cat. You know, maybe maybe I can convince you 1137 01:16:01.880 --> 01:16:06.039 various game I can play. His inscription. I'm just so afraid all the 1138 01:16:06.119 --> 01:16:11.239 time with video games and I and I love horror movies and TV shows. 1139 01:16:11.239 --> 01:16:13.880 But if it's there's a big horror game coming out, I'd give it to 1140 01:16:13.920 --> 01:16:16.439 the other guy. I can't do it. I've a coward's heart. That's 1141 01:16:16.439 --> 01:16:20.079 that's surprising. I know a few people who have similar behavior where they're like, 1142 01:16:20.279 --> 01:16:25.039 we I love horror, yet cannot play horror video games. Yeah, 1143 01:16:25.079 --> 01:16:29.560 I need that fourth wall division between me and the horror. If there's like 1144 01:16:30.239 --> 01:16:32.800 a horror I have to actively participate in, I simply will not do it. 1145 01:16:32.840 --> 01:16:34.800 I'll be like, well, the way to not do the horrors to 1146 01:16:35.319 --> 01:16:45.319 hide underneath this table or whatever they play? Yeah, exactly can't. Yeah, 1147 01:16:45.560 --> 01:16:48.039 people people do fall into these different like like buckets, right, Like 1148 01:16:48.039 --> 01:16:50.479 some people like I don't like the horror movies, but the games I can 1149 01:16:50.520 --> 01:16:53.840 play, And yeah, there's like me, it was like, I'm just 1150 01:16:53.840 --> 01:16:57.239 scared of everything everything, Franzy. I'd rather I will see a horror movie 1151 01:16:57.279 --> 01:17:00.319 like in a theater, so then the ghost isn't in my house. And 1152 01:17:00.319 --> 01:17:03.079 but playing a video game, it just feels like, I don't know, 1153 01:17:03.119 --> 01:17:06.039 it's gonna look at me them and say my name out loud and then I'm 1154 01:17:06.039 --> 01:17:12.119 gonna die or something. That'd be something active. I'm actively antagonizing any and 1155 01:17:12.159 --> 01:17:15.760 every ghost I can come across. Ohis goes off, dude, piss them 1156 01:17:15.800 --> 01:17:18.119 off? Yeah, I mean, why else are they there? If they 1157 01:17:18.119 --> 01:17:20.159 didn't want to be pissed off, they would have left, you know, 1158 01:17:20.319 --> 01:17:24.439 opinion. I saw that sketch on I think you should leave, and it's 1159 01:17:24.439 --> 01:17:28.319 just resonated with me ever since. Yeah, of course, yeah, you 1160 01:17:28.319 --> 01:17:30.600 can see whatever you want. It's all adults here, so maarage. Coming 1161 01:17:30.600 --> 01:17:34.560 out October five, THQ as a new south Park game, which, oh 1162 01:17:34.600 --> 01:17:39.560 boy, sound familiar because boy, they had a the THQ you used to 1163 01:17:39.560 --> 01:17:43.680 have South Park games. THQ Nordic announced new South Park game, south Park 1164 01:17:43.840 --> 01:17:47.520 snow Day, revealed during Friday's live stream, which THQ Nordic but basically updated 1165 01:17:47.560 --> 01:17:49.399 all their other games. And this is like, I think the one new 1166 01:17:49.439 --> 01:17:53.920 game that they had. It's a three D co op adventure set in snowy 1167 01:17:54.000 --> 01:17:57.960 South Park. Releases in twenty twenty four for PCD, PlayStation five, Xbox 1168 01:17:58.039 --> 01:18:01.880 Series X in This and Nintendo Switch features Cartman Stand, Kyle and Kenny, 1169 01:18:01.960 --> 01:18:06.880 four players, the guys, Cartman Stand, Kyle and Kenny, the boys. 1170 01:18:08.239 --> 01:18:10.840 What do each of them sound like? Do impressions? Right now? 1171 01:18:11.399 --> 01:18:16.600 They just sound like normal human men. That's what they saw men. Huh. 1172 01:18:16.920 --> 01:18:19.359 They're four player's. Four players go out to save the world on a 1173 01:18:19.399 --> 01:18:23.760 snow day? What does that mean? I don't know. Is it like 1174 01:18:23.760 --> 01:18:29.920 a hard mood movie? But so deep cut? I had the soundtrack to 1175 01:18:29.960 --> 01:18:32.239 that on CD and it was fine. We haven't been good enough to deserve 1176 01:18:32.279 --> 01:18:36.520 anything related to Josh Josh Peck's snow Day, So no, it's completely different. 1177 01:18:38.520 --> 01:18:43.560 Yes. The other title for Oppenheimer, Uh, Stick of Truth, 1178 01:18:43.560 --> 01:18:46.119 came out in twenty fourteen, was well received. Good Guess came out after 1179 01:18:46.159 --> 01:18:51.039 that was about this received about the same, actually a little bit of lower 1180 01:18:51.079 --> 01:18:55.079 review scores, but just a touch. But both of those were you be 1181 01:18:55.119 --> 01:18:59.600 Soft after You'd be Soft acquired the rights to these in the fire sale the 1182 01:18:59.680 --> 01:19:04.199 last time THQ went under. So now South Park back at THHQ where it 1183 01:19:04.239 --> 01:19:09.479 belongs. It does feel like that's the right fit because south Park is just 1184 01:19:09.520 --> 01:19:11.840 like, you know, the same sort of vibe as at least the games 1185 01:19:12.239 --> 01:19:15.079 as like those Nickelodeon licensed games at THHQ used to do as well. So 1186 01:19:15.439 --> 01:19:19.800 yeah, we're getting it. I can I ask the bacclar you and I 1187 01:19:19.880 --> 01:19:23.760 kind of grew up at a time when south Park was coming to prominence and 1188 01:19:23.960 --> 01:19:27.399 you weren't too far behind. Bailey, you like, what do you guys 1189 01:19:27.399 --> 01:19:34.560 feel about south Park as a property? Okay, here, I'll be brave, 1190 01:19:34.640 --> 01:19:36.920 I'll be brave. I'm all over, I'm all over the place with 1191 01:19:38.000 --> 01:19:41.159 it right now. I don't like it, and I just don't like it 1192 01:19:41.199 --> 01:19:44.800 at all anymore. Here watched it recently, But yeah, I enjoy family 1193 01:19:44.840 --> 01:19:48.720 guy more. Okay, I mean I have nothing and everything at the same 1194 01:19:48.760 --> 01:19:51.800 time. I'm curious to hear it. Yeah, yeah, way to not 1195 01:19:51.920 --> 01:19:58.319 answer that, Bailey, would you. I'm curious to hear your guys. 1196 01:20:00.239 --> 01:20:04.960 I was never a south Park person to begin with, and I think in 1197 01:20:05.000 --> 01:20:11.840 the year of Our Lord twenty twenty three, anyone who's still watching south Park, 1198 01:20:11.960 --> 01:20:15.760 well, I'm sure they're a very nice person. Maybe has the sense 1199 01:20:15.760 --> 01:20:19.319 of humor of someone from several decades ago, like a time traveler, except 1200 01:20:19.319 --> 01:20:23.119 for they haven't time traveled. They've been here the whole time. They've just 1201 01:20:23.199 --> 01:20:28.119 chosen not to grow as an individual. That seems cutting him. Probably true. 1202 01:20:28.239 --> 01:20:30.239 I mean, I don't find it very fun anymore. That is my 1203 01:20:30.239 --> 01:20:32.600 big issue with it anymore. Right, So, less time watched it. 1204 01:20:33.199 --> 01:20:36.359 I tried it definitely in the last year. I watched it for the first 1205 01:20:36.359 --> 01:20:40.119 time in like, probably like ten years it had been, and I'm like, 1206 01:20:40.359 --> 01:20:43.239 I can't remember what happened. Maybe it was the Casa Bunita stuff where 1207 01:20:43.279 --> 01:20:45.840 they bought that restaurant in Denver that I was always interesting because I was living 1208 01:20:45.840 --> 01:20:47.119 in the area, and I'm like, oh, I should check in on 1209 01:20:47.119 --> 01:20:50.119 South Park. And I watched one of the new episodes and I just didn't 1210 01:20:50.119 --> 01:20:53.560 find it very funny at all. And so I was like, man, 1211 01:20:53.600 --> 01:20:57.199 I do remember enjoying this more. But I don't know if the show got 1212 01:20:57.239 --> 01:21:00.960 worse or if if if I've grown as an individual. I've heard I've heard 1213 01:21:01.000 --> 01:21:04.199 so many conflicting reports, right, Like, it does seem to be this 1214 01:21:04.600 --> 01:21:11.960 very sort of like dubious entity, right where like I just can't make heads 1215 01:21:12.000 --> 01:21:15.159 or tails of it. I know there was a time where like it was 1216 01:21:15.279 --> 01:21:21.079 must watch weekly viewing for sure, and I was definitely yeah, like it 1217 01:21:21.159 --> 01:21:25.000 was, it was there was a I was around for that, like for 1218 01:21:25.079 --> 01:21:29.279 sure. But I don't know. I think, like I think there were 1219 01:21:29.279 --> 01:21:31.399 like a couple of seasons where like it really kind of had something to say. 1220 01:21:31.439 --> 01:21:36.199 And I'm talking like fifteen years ago. Yeah, but yeah, I 1221 01:21:36.800 --> 01:21:40.680 don't. I don't know. I think Book of Mormon is very good. 1222 01:21:43.039 --> 01:21:47.399 Yeah, like basketball is fun, right, yeah, but yeah, you 1223 01:21:47.399 --> 01:21:51.199 know, I don't put it in like this bad category though. I don't 1224 01:21:51.199 --> 01:21:56.119 put it in like this sort of like I can't allow that to exist kind 1225 01:21:56.119 --> 01:22:00.640 of category. Yeah, I'm say things shouldn't exist. I didn't say that 1226 01:22:00.840 --> 01:22:04.119 funny. No, No, I wasn't saying that you were doing that. 1227 01:22:04.560 --> 01:22:09.000 I'm taking a hard stand here and saying any media I don't like should be 1228 01:22:09.039 --> 01:22:14.000 wiped off the face of That's actually not the worst. That's actually not the 1229 01:22:14.039 --> 01:22:16.520 worst idea. No, like I do, but I do. At the 1230 01:22:16.520 --> 01:22:20.600 same time, I do think there is comedy that like is remarkably a sort 1231 01:22:20.640 --> 01:22:25.279 of ageless. I don't think South Park is necessarily that though, but I 1232 01:22:25.359 --> 01:22:29.359 do think there is comedy out there that the Spans episode when Homer gets hired 1233 01:22:29.359 --> 01:22:32.800 by Hank Scorpio, like Simpsons, I think magically pulls it off. Like 1234 01:22:32.920 --> 01:22:36.800 I'm definitely Yeah. I've never seen any South Park clips on TikTok and I've 1235 01:22:36.840 --> 01:22:40.880 seen a lot of Family Guy on there, so yeah, but it might 1236 01:22:40.920 --> 01:22:44.600 not have broken through yet, right, it could be and it's just not 1237 01:22:44.680 --> 01:22:48.279 in my algorithm. Yeah, I used to hold Family Guy in incredibly high. 1238 01:22:48.600 --> 01:22:57.359 I got a baby talks that's wild and talks. What When Grub and 1239 01:22:57.399 --> 01:23:00.840 I were in college was the time where Family Guy like was originally canceled. 1240 01:23:01.159 --> 01:23:06.680 So like if you had those DVDs, you were like you like we watched 1241 01:23:06.720 --> 01:23:10.680 on DVD, but then like Adult Swim started airing it. It's like, 1242 01:23:10.760 --> 01:23:13.880 and then everyone started watching it and that was brought it back. Yeah. 1243 01:23:14.840 --> 01:23:18.119 Uh, all right, let's see Netflix is adding game streaming to TV. 1244 01:23:18.359 --> 01:23:21.600 It's it's it's weird. They're doing a limited beta test starting in Canada and 1245 01:23:21.640 --> 01:23:27.439 the UK on select TVs from select manufacturers, and that's beginning today. It's 1246 01:23:27.439 --> 01:23:30.800 also coming to PC and Max as well. The initial test will include Oxen 1247 01:23:30.880 --> 01:23:35.159 Free and Mule Hugh's Minate Adventure. Let's just stick with ox and Free. 1248 01:23:35.199 --> 01:23:38.039 You might be wondering, how do you play this? How do you interact 1249 01:23:38.079 --> 01:23:42.439 with it? You're probably gonna ConnectR xbox controller, right, No, you're 1250 01:23:42.439 --> 01:23:48.760 gonna phone as a controller. Fu adding though as much so Oxy Free does 1251 01:23:48.840 --> 01:23:53.520 make sense. That's right, that's one that would work. But that is 1252 01:23:53.560 --> 01:23:57.159 not solution for most other games. But they do show it's like it's gonna 1253 01:23:57.159 --> 01:24:00.199 have a digital digital analog stick digital right there on your phone. You're gonna 1254 01:24:00.199 --> 01:24:05.199 hold it like that. I just don't know who that's for so much, 1255 01:24:05.239 --> 01:24:08.720 but I mean, if it's for somebody, they're testing it, you know, 1256 01:24:09.159 --> 01:24:13.319 I would never have thought people there's a good chunk of people that use 1257 01:24:13.439 --> 01:24:16.199 the apps on a smart TV, let alone use a smart TV. But 1258 01:24:16.319 --> 01:24:19.840 like that's a big audience. It's a huge audience. Yes, And I 1259 01:24:19.880 --> 01:24:23.760 think, like, I don't know, I do think the time of like 1260 01:24:23.800 --> 01:24:27.680 they're all broken is a bit over right, Yeah, they were were just 1261 01:24:27.720 --> 01:24:30.640 everyone's just using Roku or Google TV. And yeah, although I fucking hate 1262 01:24:30.720 --> 01:24:35.079 Roku's I think they suck. I think they're terrible. I prefer no. 1263 01:24:35.359 --> 01:24:41.920 I'm I moved out of Rocus City. The value my property value is plummeted. 1264 01:24:43.560 --> 01:24:45.239 Yeah, it's crazy. I think Roku's garbage. I don't know why 1265 01:24:45.279 --> 01:24:47.800 that was ever really super popular. Maybe because it was like the first one 1266 01:24:47.920 --> 01:24:53.319 to the part definitely was better than built in like the LG web os or 1267 01:24:53.319 --> 01:24:56.239 whatever that they usure. It was better than that for a while, but 1268 01:24:56.319 --> 01:24:59.319 that stuff has caught up and it's mostly fine. Yeah. And but but 1269 01:24:59.359 --> 01:25:02.039 to the idea of like why is Netflix doing this? You know, like 1270 01:25:02.159 --> 01:25:09.479 when you have your module installed on like one hundred million televisions by default, 1271 01:25:09.560 --> 01:25:13.479 like you gotta figure out a way to sneak it in there, right, 1272 01:25:13.520 --> 01:25:16.920 Like it's already there, right, So this is them like looking forward diversification. 1273 01:25:17.159 --> 01:25:21.079 They are they pretty much tapped out what is physically possible for them to 1274 01:25:21.079 --> 01:25:24.399 do with the amount of money that they're going to spend on content for movies 1275 01:25:24.399 --> 01:25:28.319 and TV and the growth they're just going to his plateau. It's plateau they 1276 01:25:28.319 --> 01:25:30.279 started dipping and they're like, okay, well, we're some categories we can 1277 01:25:30.279 --> 01:25:34.000 grow in. They've identified games as one of those potential areas. It's just 1278 01:25:34.039 --> 01:25:38.039 like what does that look like? And they're slow they're doing a slow burn 1279 01:25:38.119 --> 01:25:43.960 compared to Google and don't even remember what it was called Stadia. Stadia compared 1280 01:25:43.960 --> 01:25:46.199 to what Google do with Stadia, where it's like we're going to completely replace 1281 01:25:46.199 --> 01:25:50.439 your controls and everything's gonna be different. Yes, I just got the fund 1282 01:25:50.119 --> 01:25:55.800 Stadiah did wow. Yeah, because I had it connected to like an old 1283 01:25:55.840 --> 01:25:59.720 credit card or something. I uh, I bought like a couple of games 1284 01:25:59.720 --> 01:26:00.359 on there. They sent me everything else, So I don't know. I 1285 01:26:00.359 --> 01:26:03.279 don't even know if I went through the steps to get a refund. But 1286 01:26:03.359 --> 01:26:06.840 Netflix is like just trying to see if they can figure this out without spending 1287 01:26:06.840 --> 01:26:10.359 a ton of money up front. So these tests are fine. I just 1288 01:26:10.880 --> 01:26:14.560 I would be curious to hear who is playing Oxo free on on their TV 1289 01:26:14.680 --> 01:26:16.920 using a Phonus controller. I bet it's going to be people that don't run 1290 01:26:16.920 --> 01:26:19.640 in the same circles as me. And that's that's fine if that's how that's 1291 01:26:19.640 --> 01:26:24.079 gonna work. But I just sit with the cool kids at lunch, Jeff, 1292 01:26:24.159 --> 01:26:26.720 is that what you're saying? Yeah, No, with the cool people 1293 01:26:26.720 --> 01:26:30.479 who are like, yeah, don't don't have a video game controllers like filed 1294 01:26:30.479 --> 01:26:35.119 across their home and stuff. Yeah. I do always wonder like what is 1295 01:26:35.199 --> 01:26:38.680 like this seems like the problem, how do you, like, you could 1296 01:26:38.760 --> 01:26:42.000 beam whatever you want to a person's TV. How are they going to interact 1297 01:26:42.000 --> 01:26:45.600 with it? The controller is the actual problem for a company's like Netflix and 1298 01:26:45.920 --> 01:26:48.720 even like Xbox wanting to stream stuff to people's TVs, Like, are people 1299 01:26:48.760 --> 01:26:50.279 even going to go through the effort like we, oh, yeah, they 1300 01:26:50.279 --> 01:26:53.359 have a PlayStation five and they want to play an x fix game, We'll 1301 01:26:53.399 --> 01:26:56.359 just stream it to your TV? Are they even going to connect their PS 1302 01:26:56.399 --> 01:26:59.520 five controller to their TV to play your game? I bet most people think 1303 01:26:59.520 --> 01:27:00.399 them, That's too much of a hassle. I'm not going to do that. 1304 01:27:00.560 --> 01:27:03.880 So Netflix is trying to find an easier solution there. I don't blame 1305 01:27:03.880 --> 01:27:08.239 them, I just don't know if this is the right answer. Metroid dread 1306 01:27:08.359 --> 01:27:14.279 developer has two unannounced games. Mercury Steam developing two undisclosed titles information from earnings 1307 01:27:14.279 --> 01:27:18.760 of Nordisc Games, a minority stakeholder in Mercury Steam. One of the suspected 1308 01:27:18.800 --> 01:27:23.720 games is a fantasy game with five or five publisher five or five games that's 1309 01:27:23.720 --> 01:27:27.479 been previously like talked about, even if it hasn't been fully announced yet. 1310 01:27:28.079 --> 01:27:32.039 The other one everyone is assuming is likely a Metroid Dread sequel or some sort 1311 01:27:32.079 --> 01:27:35.439 of follow up, but that's an assumption. There's no confirmation there, although 1312 01:27:35.479 --> 01:27:38.800 I'm getting my hopes stuff because I think that would make a lot of sense. 1313 01:27:39.359 --> 01:27:43.359 This is the studio that did make Metroid Dread, and that's the best 1314 01:27:43.479 --> 01:27:45.319 selling Metroid game ever now. It sold more than three million copies. No 1315 01:27:45.399 --> 01:27:49.159 Metroid has ever sold better than that, So you could assume that they probably 1316 01:27:49.159 --> 01:27:53.000 will want to continue that partnership, and I hope they do. Even though 1317 01:27:53.039 --> 01:27:58.720 there were some reports of chaotic development at Mercury Steam, they've denied that, 1318 01:27:58.960 --> 01:28:03.439 although it's probably you know, allegually it happened. Maybe probably did, and 1319 01:28:03.600 --> 01:28:06.319 you know, hopefully they can iron that stuff out and just kind of keep 1320 01:28:06.359 --> 01:28:10.560 this partnership going because those games were good, and you know, chaotic development 1321 01:28:10.560 --> 01:28:14.560 habits seemingly every studio. So hopefully it's like, identify the problems, deal 1322 01:28:14.600 --> 01:28:16.760 with them, make a better game next time. That would be fantastic. 1323 01:28:16.800 --> 01:28:20.640 I don't know, everyone here a Metroid Dread fans. I liked it a 1324 01:28:20.640 --> 01:28:26.399 lot, Yeah, yeah, I don't. I've really really really enjoyed that 1325 01:28:26.439 --> 01:28:29.479 game, So hoping that we get more of it, that would be very 1326 01:28:29.479 --> 01:28:35.439 cool. Rock Star acquires role playing tools. Rockstar Games has acquired CFX dot 1327 01:28:35.560 --> 01:28:40.720 R, the creators of the popular GTA five and Red Dead Redemption two modding 1328 01:28:40.760 --> 01:28:45.760 tools. Dot r is behind rock Stars role playing community five M and red 1329 01:28:45.000 --> 01:28:48.680 MU. The official notts of it showed up on rock Star's website, where 1330 01:28:48.680 --> 01:28:53.920 they praised the creative community for rock Star Games for expanding what's possible in the 1331 01:28:53.920 --> 01:28:58.920 games. They recognize the dedicated role playing servers growth and they are and they've 1332 01:28:58.960 --> 01:29:01.520 also confirmed that they're going to expand mod policy to kind of incorporate this stuff 1333 01:29:01.520 --> 01:29:05.159 going forward, something that has been a problem in the past where rock Star 1334 01:29:05.279 --> 01:29:10.640 tried to basically crush these these role playing mods and accuse them of like cheating 1335 01:29:10.680 --> 01:29:13.840 and stuff like that. That got settled out of court at one point, 1336 01:29:14.119 --> 01:29:16.680 and so since then they've been on like this, this equilibrium between the two. 1337 01:29:16.720 --> 01:29:19.319 Well, now that's all out the window. Rock Star is just we 1338 01:29:19.399 --> 01:29:25.039 know we're buying you. This is has to all be about g TA six 1339 01:29:25.119 --> 01:29:30.279 incorporating role playing stuff from the get go, right, Yes, yeah, 1340 01:29:30.520 --> 01:29:34.640 that stuff is still so incredibly popular on twitch. Oh my god, I 1341 01:29:34.720 --> 01:29:39.560 always wanted to get into that thing. But that's the time suck that I 1342 01:29:39.600 --> 01:29:44.239 feel like I just don't have either. This is this. I saw this 1343 01:29:44.600 --> 01:29:46.399 late last week, right this news came out. Maybe that's right. Uh 1344 01:29:46.640 --> 01:29:50.439 really this is I feel like people might be sleeping on how big of a 1345 01:29:50.479 --> 01:29:57.000 deal this is. Yeah, it's like it's got to look like you'll you'll. 1346 01:29:57.119 --> 01:30:00.159 You open up the game and there's GT six and the GTA Online and 1347 01:30:00.159 --> 01:30:04.560 I wouldn't be surprised if right next to gt online is GTA Roleplay but just 1348 01:30:04.600 --> 01:30:08.239 another option. They're on the menu. And it's like there will be a 1349 01:30:08.279 --> 01:30:12.199 ton of approved servers, and I bet, uh CFX dot RU you know 1350 01:30:12.319 --> 01:30:15.960 this modern group. I bet they continue to run their own thing, and 1351 01:30:15.000 --> 01:30:18.800 then maybe they bring in like no Pixel, which is the big server that 1352 01:30:18.840 --> 01:30:23.000 all the big content creators are in that it's very hard to get into. 1353 01:30:23.399 --> 01:30:25.239 They have. I guess they have a public server as well, but they're 1354 01:30:25.279 --> 01:30:29.079 private one that is the one that everyone watches. They probably get directly incorporated 1355 01:30:29.119 --> 01:30:33.199 as well. Maybe there's some incentivization there or something like that. This is 1356 01:30:33.199 --> 01:30:38.159 one of the things that is keeping GTA six or GT five so relevant that 1357 01:30:38.239 --> 01:30:40.680 of course they were going to want to bring this in at some point and 1358 01:30:40.840 --> 01:30:43.680 yeah, I just wonder what it ends up looking like. It's it's a 1359 01:30:43.720 --> 01:30:48.840 big question. Do you guys think we're playing GTA six next year? Uh? 1360 01:30:50.039 --> 01:31:00.239 Yes, there it is, Shaverhead. Yeah, they iqust just for 1361 01:31:00.359 --> 01:31:04.119 it. Take Take two did say that they're expecting to make eight billion dollars 1362 01:31:04.119 --> 01:31:06.680 in revenue compared to the five billion, which was a record for them that 1363 01:31:06.680 --> 01:31:11.600 they're making this year. Uh, it's hard to imagine that's possible without g 1364 01:31:11.760 --> 01:31:14.680 TA six, But they said that's until March of twenty twenty five, So 1365 01:31:14.720 --> 01:31:16.840 maybe it slips into the first quarter that year. I guess that's possible as 1366 01:31:16.840 --> 01:31:20.239 well, or gets it gets a huge delay. It could just get delayed 1367 01:31:20.239 --> 01:31:24.039 as well. Man, they're gonna they're gonna be rolling in it, grub. 1368 01:31:24.079 --> 01:31:27.439 What aren't we talking about rock Star saying like, oh, we're we're 1369 01:31:27.479 --> 01:31:32.159 gonna do big numbers in the next year. This is exactly right. Oh 1370 01:31:32.239 --> 01:31:34.560 man, it's it's it's probably this in a couple of other things, like 1371 01:31:34.600 --> 01:31:38.279 six seven and stuff like that. A bunch of stuff probably happened at the 1372 01:31:38.319 --> 01:31:43.159 same time. They've never publicly said anything about g T six, not really, 1373 01:31:43.239 --> 01:31:46.159 not in any real way. I still feel like that game does get 1374 01:31:46.199 --> 01:31:49.199 announced for next year at some point or the first quarter at twenty twenty five, 1375 01:31:49.239 --> 01:31:51.880 and then I do think it probably gets a delay before it actually comes 1376 01:31:51.880 --> 01:31:56.680 out, but we'll see rock Star pickle Ball. Oh yeah, shit, 1377 01:31:56.960 --> 01:32:01.840 put that out first. That's what we need. I mean, it's pick 1378 01:32:01.880 --> 01:32:08.520 a ball taking over your community. It has, especially my wife. But 1379 01:32:08.640 --> 01:32:14.560 I've not I've not like I've still not played, like I know everything about 1380 01:32:14.600 --> 01:32:17.359 it, sure, but I just an expert. Yeah, you know, 1381 01:32:17.479 --> 01:32:21.199 just like with Cowboy Bebob, like barely have to touch it to be an 1382 01:32:21.199 --> 01:32:26.479 expert. I know I'll love it, I because it's just big table tennis. 1383 01:32:26.520 --> 01:32:29.039 But then you to think about, like, you know that rock Star 1384 01:32:29.119 --> 01:32:33.159 table Tennis game, and like what that did for like a year, right, 1385 01:32:33.239 --> 01:32:39.800 Like what the dominance that that game demonstrated, right, put that into 1386 01:32:39.840 --> 01:32:44.680 pickle ball with just like the same bullshit, right with like the color coded 1387 01:32:45.079 --> 01:32:47.760 you know, tails on all the on the ball, right, like dude, 1388 01:32:48.800 --> 01:32:53.560 Yes, i mean I've realized that's very low on the on the pit. 1389 01:32:54.359 --> 01:32:57.760 But still, please, I think that game. Just give me table 1390 01:32:57.760 --> 01:33:01.000 tennis backward capec if they haven't done that yet, which I sit over Watch 1391 01:33:01.039 --> 01:33:04.800 two got crushed on Steam. It's out on Steam now. That released on 1392 01:33:04.840 --> 01:33:10.640 Thursday. It was met with over twenty five thousand reviews from players, and 1393 01:33:10.680 --> 01:33:15.479 it got an overwhelmingly negative review score. From those twenty five thousand reviews, 1394 01:33:15.720 --> 01:33:20.640 only reviews are positive. It's just getting stepped on and not even the fun 1395 01:33:20.720 --> 01:33:26.560 way, not even in the fun way. No. Yeah, they they 1396 01:33:26.600 --> 01:33:30.840 have made like every conceivable misstep with this one. It seems like, Yeah, 1397 01:33:30.840 --> 01:33:36.479 it's like like just a sideshow Bob break situation, just a NonStop failure 1398 01:33:38.079 --> 01:33:42.960 of their own device. And yep, wow, it's it's almost impressive. 1399 01:33:43.000 --> 01:33:45.119 It feels like they're doing it on purpose at this point. Yeah. Right, 1400 01:33:45.199 --> 01:33:47.119 it's like some sort of the producer's scheme, right, like that they're 1401 01:33:47.119 --> 01:33:53.520 doing this taking insurance money or something. H players are obviously criticizing the free 1402 01:33:53.560 --> 01:33:57.079 to play structure something it's been a problem with Overwatch two and going free to 1403 01:33:57.079 --> 01:34:00.399 play for a while now. They also dislike that the hero missions that were 1404 01:34:00.439 --> 01:34:02.920 much hyped got removed. Of course, that you know, old news, 1405 01:34:03.119 --> 01:34:06.439 but that stuff is still very sore spot because they've not What happens is that 1406 01:34:06.439 --> 01:34:11.000 stuff got announced, got canceled, and fans are mad at that time. 1407 01:34:11.399 --> 01:34:13.760 But since they're like, this is the game you're supposed to continue to be 1408 01:34:13.800 --> 01:34:17.000 playing, and it's like they've done nothing really to fill in that gap that 1409 01:34:17.039 --> 01:34:21.399 people feel has now been been created because that stuff got canceled except for with 1410 01:34:23.119 --> 01:34:27.399 some single player you know or you know PBE stuff that was like the older 1411 01:34:27.439 --> 01:34:30.039 PV stuff. It's like, oh, here's some emissions you can do kind 1412 01:34:30.039 --> 01:34:32.720 of offline against the CPU, and these are stories. They have stories in 1413 01:34:32.800 --> 01:34:36.479 them, but they're fifteen dollars extra and it's not the full content that they 1414 01:34:36.479 --> 01:34:41.159 were promising to make originally, the full cam PV campaign. This is just 1415 01:34:41.239 --> 01:34:44.640 smaller stuff, but they're charging fifteen dollars extra and fans are like, man, 1416 01:34:44.720 --> 01:34:46.479 we we've already felt burned by this, and now you want us to 1417 01:34:46.520 --> 01:34:50.439 pay for things that we kind of don't even really want. We're not we're 1418 01:34:50.439 --> 01:34:55.840 definitely not happy with and so yeah, the game's just getting crushed Overwatched two 1419 01:34:55.920 --> 01:35:00.399 is a big important thing for Blizzard. Uh. You got to man that 1420 01:35:00.359 --> 01:35:02.800 they have had long term plans for this, and it's like, what do 1421 01:35:02.880 --> 01:35:05.720 they do now? They just have to I think they have to just grin 1422 01:35:05.720 --> 01:35:10.760 and bear it and try to fix it, right, Yeah, that's the 1423 01:35:11.079 --> 01:35:15.399 that's the steepest hill to climb for that though. Yeah, yeah, it 1424 01:35:15.479 --> 01:35:18.359 was a bummer because we we had we made an attempt to throw it down 1425 01:35:18.359 --> 01:35:23.960 on a Thursday with TF two, and even though it took a while to 1426 01:35:23.960 --> 01:35:26.479 get a server up and running and we kind of didn't really get a surf 1427 01:35:26.640 --> 01:35:30.159 up and running, I still had fun playing TF two with the community same 1428 01:35:30.359 --> 01:35:32.800 and it made me wish, like, oh, I wish there was a 1429 01:35:32.880 --> 01:35:38.439 version of Team two with all these classes. It's more modernized, it's easier 1430 01:35:38.520 --> 01:35:42.479 to group up with people, and I thought about overwatching. I got sad. 1431 01:35:43.039 --> 01:35:46.720 Yeah, that was sad, exactly. Apparently, the most recent review 1432 01:35:46.960 --> 01:35:53.119 on Overwatch two is an asky art version of Mario taking a poop. So 1433 01:35:53.680 --> 01:35:59.680 okay, well, at least there's some artistry in this the exactly there we 1434 01:35:59.720 --> 01:36:03.199 go, all right? Moving on, Keith David will succeed Lance Reddick as 1435 01:36:03.279 --> 01:36:09.039 Commanders of Allah in Destiny. The voice actor changed for Commanders of Alla and 1436 01:36:09.119 --> 01:36:12.800 Destiny will have Keith David replacing him. The character is going to stick around. 1437 01:36:13.119 --> 01:36:15.920 Reddick could voice the character since its inception. He passed away, of 1438 01:36:15.920 --> 01:36:18.600 course recently at sixty years old, Rest in peace. Bungie announced the plans 1439 01:36:18.600 --> 01:36:21.760 to have the character continue. Obviously, the you know, the voice actors 1440 01:36:21.800 --> 01:36:26.079 for all in all the other languages are still around, so it's like we 1441 01:36:26.199 --> 01:36:29.439 probably should find a way to maintain this. Keith David is stepping into that 1442 01:36:29.560 --> 01:36:30.920 role. He did a nice message saying that much he looked up to Lance 1443 01:36:30.960 --> 01:36:35.319 Reddick and nice taken over and I loved. I loved Lance Reddick. I 1444 01:36:35.359 --> 01:36:38.880 love Keith David. I think this is this is great stuff. And Keith 1445 01:36:38.960 --> 01:36:44.840 David just to see him wonderful. One of my favorite, my favorite moments 1446 01:36:45.600 --> 01:36:49.079 maybe in my life, but in video games is Keith David playing himself in 1447 01:36:49.199 --> 01:36:51.960 Saints Row and then getting in a fight with Rowdy Roddy Piper, just like 1448 01:36:53.039 --> 01:36:56.439 and they live and man, I just love just hanging out in this game 1449 01:36:56.439 --> 01:37:00.439 with Keith David and Roddy Roddy Piper. It's it's great stuff. So I 1450 01:37:00.479 --> 01:37:05.079 really liked him and the Princess and the frog, yeah yeah, and everything. 1451 01:37:05.439 --> 01:37:09.680 He's very in future. Man. He's just a good actor but also 1452 01:37:09.760 --> 01:37:13.159 a good first actor and he's been around forever. He I love him, 1453 01:37:13.199 --> 01:37:15.359 And obviously it's a devastating reason for him to have any role, But if 1454 01:37:15.399 --> 01:37:19.000 anyone's going to have it, I think he is the best possible choice they 1455 01:37:19.000 --> 01:37:25.680 could have made. Agreed, David a very strong part of the last season 1456 01:37:25.720 --> 01:37:30.039 of Community. I think I didn't know that either. I think he was 1457 01:37:30.119 --> 01:37:34.520 spawn. His bit about being the best wedding guest holds true, and I've 1458 01:37:34.560 --> 01:37:39.800 maintained that of you know, I don't want to I don't want to give 1459 01:37:39.840 --> 01:37:43.119 the gig away, but hey, it informs how I handle a lot of 1460 01:37:43.159 --> 01:37:47.000 my day to day. Really. Yes, he was also a mass effect. 1461 01:37:47.159 --> 01:37:53.479 Yes, Goliath and gargoyles. God keep David fucking rules right, uh 1462 01:37:53.560 --> 01:37:56.840 so, yes again, rip Lance Reddick and you know, long Lives a 1463 01:37:56.840 --> 01:38:00.720 battle and all that stuff. All right, let's see here aintendo, patents, 1464 01:38:00.800 --> 01:38:03.560 loading screen and more from Tears to the Kingdom. Nintendo has issued patents 1465 01:38:03.640 --> 01:38:08.560 or has requested patents for multiple features in the Legend of Zelda Tears of the 1466 01:38:08.640 --> 01:38:13.680 Kingdom. In particular, it wants for stuff like ultrahand and the fusibility stuff 1467 01:38:13.720 --> 01:38:16.880 that might be tough to enforce or whatever, because we've seen that such glue. 1468 01:38:17.560 --> 01:38:24.279 Yeah, you can't, you can't fucking patent. Go well they're gonna 1469 01:38:24.319 --> 01:38:27.000 try. It really comes that too. How will they try to enforce it? 1470 01:38:27.039 --> 01:38:30.640 But it's Nintendo. They love to enforce stuff so big. The big 1471 01:38:30.680 --> 01:38:32.479 one that they're enforcing or that they're going for that they might get is the 1472 01:38:33.119 --> 01:38:38.000 loading screen when you fast travel, where it's like when you initiate a fast 1473 01:38:38.039 --> 01:38:40.600 travel and it goes to load and it shows you on the map where you're 1474 01:38:40.640 --> 01:38:44.439 coming from and then where you're going, which is something that I find very 1475 01:38:44.479 --> 01:38:45.560 useful. They shouldn't be able to listen. I don't like any of these 1476 01:38:45.560 --> 01:38:48.960 patents. The stuff sucks, but I love that feature. I do the 1477 01:38:49.000 --> 01:38:51.600 fast travel and I in that loading moment, I'm like, wait, why 1478 01:38:51.600 --> 01:38:54.600 am I Where am I going? Why did I do this? And then 1479 01:38:54.640 --> 01:38:56.640 the map loads, I'm like, oh yeah, that little thing on the 1480 01:38:56.640 --> 01:39:00.800 map that's where I was going. So yeah. So like the process of 1481 01:39:00.720 --> 01:39:05.680 being awarded a patent, right, like, who's the governing body in every 1482 01:39:05.680 --> 01:39:10.279 country? But it's the USPTO, the US Patents and Trademark Office. So 1483 01:39:10.439 --> 01:39:14.560 is there's some sort of like judge or something or like committee that's like there's 1484 01:39:15.239 --> 01:39:17.640 I think it's like a committee, yes, uh, and uh they will 1485 01:39:18.039 --> 01:39:21.640 look for the novelty of the patent. They will give like a public response 1486 01:39:21.680 --> 01:39:25.199 period where people will be like, I we did a similar idea long before 1487 01:39:25.199 --> 01:39:29.560 this. You cannot pattent this because this idea existed previously. It's weird in 1488 01:39:29.680 --> 01:39:34.560 video games. Uh, you have to patent very specific implementations because you can't 1489 01:39:34.560 --> 01:39:40.359 patent ideas. Ideas can't be patented. That's more like copyright territory, right, 1490 01:39:40.640 --> 01:39:43.319 So they're what they're trying. They're you know, these companies are always 1491 01:39:43.319 --> 01:39:48.479 interested in blurring the lines because patents are very easy to monetize and to weaponize 1492 01:39:48.520 --> 01:39:51.960 against other companies, and so they're good tools for lawyers to have. Lawyers 1493 01:39:53.000 --> 01:39:56.439 really like them. Everyone else hates them. Uh for the most part. 1494 01:39:56.600 --> 01:39:59.720 They you know, they they do expire after twenty years, which is a 1495 01:39:59.720 --> 01:40:02.720 way better than copyright copyrights like forever and ever and then plus forever after you 1496 01:40:02.760 --> 01:40:08.920 die years yeah and then yes, seventy years after death or yeah, I 1497 01:40:08.920 --> 01:40:13.760 think so, so yeah, that's just forever. But patents after twenty years, 1498 01:40:13.920 --> 01:40:17.279 it's it's all fair game. But even still that's way too long for 1499 01:40:17.319 --> 01:40:20.640 ideas and video like the Nemesis system is one the one that everyone always points 1500 01:40:20.680 --> 01:40:25.119 to that has a patent, which is why you haven't seen another video games. 1501 01:40:25.560 --> 01:40:29.079 And that's stupid. We should say, did they know that they if 1502 01:40:29.079 --> 01:40:32.039 they file the patent, they can implement that system too. Like no, 1503 01:40:32.159 --> 01:40:34.960 the ideas that they license it out, you know, I mean no, 1504 01:40:35.039 --> 01:40:41.760 but they themselves you know what have sure sure, surely they don't know that. 1505 01:40:41.880 --> 01:40:45.159 So yes, I'm sorry, but these these just make me mad? 1506 01:40:45.159 --> 01:40:48.800 Do you make me mad? They're like predatory and like fucking stupid squatty bullshit, 1507 01:40:50.119 --> 01:40:54.359 stopping, stopping stupid, right, it's squatting, squatty, and it's 1508 01:40:54.560 --> 01:40:58.000 just we we we want, we want these in case we see a game 1509 01:40:58.000 --> 01:41:00.319 that we get mad about and then we can threaten them with these patents. 1510 01:41:00.319 --> 01:41:03.680 That's all. It is infuriating, It prevents the growth of art, and 1511 01:41:03.920 --> 01:41:10.279 it is greedy and shitty. And don't do it, Nintendo, mister Nintendo, 1512 01:41:10.319 --> 01:41:15.319 are you listening to our podcast? Don't do it please, It's not 1513 01:41:15.359 --> 01:41:18.399 gonna stick. They some of them might, some of them will probably won't. 1514 01:41:18.600 --> 01:41:21.680 But they and they we will probably never hear about them again. That's 1515 01:41:21.680 --> 01:41:25.600 probably what will happen. Other companies will probably find other ways to do something 1516 01:41:25.680 --> 01:41:28.960 very similar someone mentioned in chat like yeah, the In the twitch chat, 1517 01:41:29.000 --> 01:41:31.880 the printy dude says, the machine games loading screen for like an Indiana Jones 1518 01:41:31.960 --> 01:41:35.159 thing where he's like flying from one place to another, Like, you could 1519 01:41:35.199 --> 01:41:40.079 probably do exactly that, because that idea is from the movie and predates what 1520 01:41:40.119 --> 01:41:43.079 they did with Tears in the Kingdom, and it's a different implementation of a 1521 01:41:43.119 --> 01:41:46.000 similar idea. So that probably wouldn't be covered under the patent. But Nintendo 1522 01:41:46.079 --> 01:41:49.680 has the patent. They could still threaten to sue and that might be enough 1523 01:41:49.720 --> 01:41:53.039 to undo a lot of that stuff. That's the concern. It's like, 1524 01:41:53.079 --> 01:41:57.079 what are Nintendo's lawyer is going to use these things for? That does it 1525 01:41:57.159 --> 01:41:59.720 for the news? I'm all done over here. Thanks for hearing me, 1526 01:41:59.760 --> 01:42:01.840 Every buddy back to you. Can you end it on one that wasn't infuriating? 1527 01:42:02.119 --> 01:42:09.119 Good? It's my speciality. Well, speaking about specialities. Around this 1528 01:42:09.159 --> 01:42:14.399 time, our speciality is taking a break and we'll be back with emails and 1529 01:42:14.800 --> 01:42:18.000 shout outs and shoots. Fill out the dock now, I guess, no, 1530 01:42:18.319 --> 01:42:21.640 fill out the dock. When the email music hits a bit stop, 1531 01:42:21.680 --> 01:42:26.199 I thought you stopped it soon. No start it. We don't start it 1532 01:42:26.319 --> 01:42:31.199 until the email music starts. All right, see after this stretch, check 1533 01:42:31.319 --> 01:42:34.159 when is the last time you stretched? Just go do it now, everybody, 1534 01:42:34.279 --> 01:42:36.399 just just lean a little bit to the left. Ah, yes, 1535 01:42:36.640 --> 01:42:40.960 good, a little bit of the right. Ah, yes, it's good. 1536 01:42:40.960 --> 01:42:44.399 It's good. Flex the arms, wiggle it. Take your arm. 1537 01:42:44.439 --> 01:42:47.640 Pretend like you're stirring a big, big pot of soup with each arm. 1538 01:42:47.640 --> 01:42:51.960 It'll be a fun little stretch because now it is the final stretch of the 1539 01:42:53.000 --> 01:42:59.279 show. Emails for the show. This is when we read emails from you 1540 01:43:00.039 --> 01:43:04.479 at GiantBomb dot com. That's right. Oh yeah, yeah, you know, 1541 01:43:04.560 --> 01:43:10.000 free freestylet that off the dome because that was so impressive. God gifted 1542 01:43:10.039 --> 01:43:14.439 it to him as thank you for this God's favorite podcast. That's right, 1543 01:43:15.680 --> 01:43:20.560 Bless hands and everything. Uh and all that jazz BombCast at giant bomb dot 1544 01:43:20.600 --> 01:43:25.399 com is the email addressed to send your emails too. You can send emails 1545 01:43:25.399 --> 01:43:30.359 about virtually any and everything all at once. Wow. Sure within reasons. 1546 01:43:30.399 --> 01:43:34.439 Hey, you know it clogs up several people's email boxes. Uh, and 1547 01:43:34.479 --> 01:43:40.279 I hate that I get notifications for it. I hate to filter. Uh. 1548 01:43:40.319 --> 01:43:47.279 First email comes from I believe Alex and they write about PSA grading hither. 1549 01:43:48.159 --> 01:43:53.039 I've been an avid trading card collector for going on thirty years now, 1550 01:43:53.199 --> 01:43:57.159 everything from Pokemon to Digimon, basketball, football, et cetera. Over the 1551 01:43:57.239 --> 01:44:01.239 past few years, I've been able to offload large wafts of my childhood collections, 1552 01:44:01.479 --> 01:44:05.680 mostly Pokemon, for thousands of dollars, due primarily to the PSA grades 1553 01:44:05.720 --> 01:44:10.920 I was able to earn on each I say that to illustrate how I can 1554 01:44:10.960 --> 01:44:15.359 absolutely understand why someone might think they need to grade every potentially valuable card they 1555 01:44:15.399 --> 01:44:20.239 pull. In the year of Our Load twenty twenty three see God's Favorite podcast. 1556 01:44:20.760 --> 01:44:27.039 I can advise against this enough. Modern cards graded by PSA simply will 1557 01:44:27.079 --> 01:44:30.319 not hold nearly the value down the line that their counterparts from the nineties and 1558 01:44:30.359 --> 01:44:34.079 two thousands do. Let's take two cards, for example, the base Set 1559 01:44:34.399 --> 01:44:40.399 two Charizard Hollow number four, released in two thousand, and the Brilliant Stars 1560 01:44:40.600 --> 01:44:45.920 char Rezard V Star number eighteen, released just a year ago in twenty twenty 1561 01:44:45.960 --> 01:44:50.159 two. The base Set two Charizard has a total graded population of ten thousand, 1562 01:44:50.279 --> 01:44:56.439 with the number of total PSA tens at sixty two point six percent, 1563 01:44:56.840 --> 01:45:01.319 while the number of sevens or below come at six thousand, sixty six percent 1564 01:45:01.479 --> 01:45:08.399 of total population. The Brilliant Stars chars ard v Star already has a total 1565 01:45:08.439 --> 01:45:13.079 pop of four thousand, with the number of total PSA tens at a staggering 1566 01:45:13.319 --> 01:45:16.880 two thousand. Well the number sevens or below come at a come at one 1567 01:45:16.960 --> 01:45:19.920 hundred and seven. See, this is what happens when folks say no more 1568 01:45:19.960 --> 01:45:24.600 wrestling talk, we get into even dumber talk. All right, yeah, 1569 01:45:27.239 --> 01:45:29.840 on this site a second, So people are like, what are we talking. 1570 01:45:29.880 --> 01:45:34.720 We're just talking about the amount of cards graded at this number out there 1571 01:45:34.800 --> 01:45:43.159 in the wild. The cars PSA being the most commonly used grading authority is 1572 01:45:43.199 --> 01:45:46.000 the one controlling the population of these things, and in doing the reporting, 1573 01:45:46.039 --> 01:45:48.800 that is what this emailer is talking. Yeah, I don't think it's it's 1574 01:45:48.840 --> 01:45:53.600 at all surprising to say old thing is old, right, that's basically no. 1575 01:45:53.680 --> 01:45:57.680 But when this is more valuable? Because not right, but old things, 1576 01:45:57.720 --> 01:46:00.399 when in collecting, will always be more valuable because they're inherently more rare. 1577 01:46:00.520 --> 01:46:06.239 Right. I think Pokemon exists a bit in a vacuum though, because 1578 01:46:09.399 --> 01:46:13.640 well I didn't say that, but I and you know, maybe it's more 1579 01:46:13.640 --> 01:46:16.680 of a discussion. But I do think the older Pokemon stuff, right obviously, 1580 01:46:16.760 --> 01:46:20.000 because when we were growing up, everyone ripped packs and they just like 1581 01:46:20.119 --> 01:46:24.600 tossed their cards until like a drawer or whatever, and then like twenty years 1582 01:46:24.680 --> 01:46:26.760 later, you're like, oh my god, this is probably worth something. 1583 01:46:26.960 --> 01:46:29.319 You get it graded, it comes back a six, and it's like worth 1584 01:46:29.399 --> 01:46:34.840 nothing, whereas if you have a like the emailer is writing, if you 1585 01:46:34.880 --> 01:46:39.920 have something that's like very old but grades nine or higher, you're you're in 1586 01:46:39.960 --> 01:46:44.600 the money. So that is the rare. That is like the inverse rarity 1587 01:46:45.199 --> 01:46:49.079 diagram for that stuff. But now where everyone is ripping packs hoping to get 1588 01:46:49.600 --> 01:46:54.880 a card that they can grade, guess what, you and everyone's mother is 1589 01:46:54.920 --> 01:46:58.720 doing that. So that's that's the whole story, I guess. But I 1590 01:46:58.760 --> 01:47:01.439 think I think it's different though, because the scarcity is not as much of 1591 01:47:01.479 --> 01:47:06.000 a thing right as it is with like cards and stuff like that. You 1592 01:47:06.039 --> 01:47:11.039 know, it's more quality focused. I think as soon as you rip like 1593 01:47:11.079 --> 01:47:14.239 a new pack, you're grading that instantly if you think it's a rare, 1594 01:47:14.319 --> 01:47:18.159 just like the email are saying. Then they continue on with the cards from 1595 01:47:18.159 --> 01:47:23.239 our youth that grade well are incredibly valuable, valuable because none of us were 1596 01:47:23.279 --> 01:47:27.000 grading these cards back then, most of you got tossed in boxes or closets 1597 01:47:27.039 --> 01:47:30.720 unprotected, only see the light of day when we all went into lockdown some 1598 01:47:30.800 --> 01:47:34.560 twenty to thirty years after we ripped them. In my opinion, it's not 1599 01:47:34.600 --> 01:47:38.840 worth the money or time right now to grade these cards, these cards being 1600 01:47:38.840 --> 01:47:42.600 newer cards, unless you plan on selling them short term. I love you 1601 01:47:42.640 --> 01:47:46.279 all and please more collectible talk from the Deagan twins Jeff and Jail. I 1602 01:47:46.279 --> 01:47:48.520 think that's that's a fair opinion to have. It would be like, it's 1603 01:47:48.520 --> 01:47:51.399 not worth the time. In my opinion, none of this is worth your 1604 01:47:51.399 --> 01:47:54.920 time, So there you go. Yeah, I mean, like you know, 1605 01:47:55.239 --> 01:47:58.600 look, I got bit by that bug again over during the pandemic a 1606 01:47:58.640 --> 01:48:01.760 little bit, and like you know, I mean, the new Marvel Masterpiece 1607 01:48:01.800 --> 01:48:05.680 boxes are now going for nine hundred dollars a box that came out like two 1608 01:48:05.680 --> 01:48:11.399 weeks ago. Those were some thick boys. They're thick puppies. It's crazy. 1609 01:48:11.479 --> 01:48:15.119 It's just crazy. Which leads me to the conclusion, my friends, 1610 01:48:15.600 --> 01:48:20.359 is that we need to make our own trading cards. Okay, they do 1611 01:48:20.399 --> 01:48:24.520 this for K pop people, is that correct, Bailey, Yeah, they 1612 01:48:24.560 --> 01:48:27.439 definitely do Yeah, of course they're just called people. Jan you don't have 1613 01:48:27.520 --> 01:48:31.840 to say K pop people, okay, like k people. I mean they 1614 01:48:31.840 --> 01:48:35.960 do them for baseball players, baseball people too. Also, yeah, people, 1615 01:48:36.319 --> 01:48:40.840 puck people, all kinds of people. People aren't people though, that's 1616 01:48:41.680 --> 01:48:45.760 no, they're just not athletes. No, I'm getting what I would say 1617 01:48:45.800 --> 01:48:47.920 though, right, is that we need to make our own and have I 1618 01:48:47.960 --> 01:48:53.359 looked into this a little bit, a little bit, and only we can 1619 01:48:53.479 --> 01:48:56.760 have like a hollow effect on them though, Oh, without a doubt, 1620 01:48:56.840 --> 01:49:00.560 Jam, we're all getting our one of one specials, buddy.

Oh, I love cane sauce. 1659 01:51:41.640 --> 01:51:44.920 Yeah, it seems like it's probably just like ketchup and mayonnaise mixed together with 1660 01:51:44.920 --> 01:51:48.399 a few other things. That's that's just thousand, that thousand island, one 1661 01:51:48.439 --> 01:51:53.319 thousand islands. Yeah, it's red. Robin has camp fire sauce. It's 1662 01:51:53.359 --> 01:51:57.439 just barbecue and mayonnaise, but it rocks. Yeah. I make my own 1663 01:51:57.479 --> 01:52:00.760 hot sauce all the time, and mine's better.

You take a little little mason jar, 1667 01:52:12.239 --> 01:52:15.239 right, little little little boy, and then you a little mason jar. 1668 01:52:15.239 --> 01:52:16.520 I don't have a little mason jar o the way you're pinching, What do 1669 01:52:16.520 --> 01:52:19.319 you mean? Yeah, a little little tency mason jar for like a baby 1670 01:52:19.319 --> 01:52:23.960 food. Yeah, okay, got it, Roger, I have no measurements 1671 01:52:24.000 --> 01:52:27.479 here. Let's let's just do it in bar terms. You get one part 1672 01:52:27.800 --> 01:52:31.119 vinegar, right, I already know this is up grubs alley, one part 1673 01:52:31.359 --> 01:52:35.760 Vietnamese fish sauce. Okay, don't get the Filipino stuff. You gotta get 1674 01:52:35.800 --> 01:52:39.880 three crabs, all right, three crab fish sauce. That's a ship right 1675 01:52:39.920 --> 01:52:42.479 there. And then you add in a little bit of soy sauce, a 1676 01:52:42.520 --> 01:52:45.520 little bit of sesame oil. You gotta make sure you're getting sesame oil from 1677 01:52:45.560 --> 01:52:49.399 a tin, all right, from like a metal tin, and it's nothing 1678 01:52:49.439 --> 01:52:53.479 but Korean on there. And then you have to kindly ask an old woman 1679 01:52:53.760 --> 01:52:57.119 is this sesame oil? And then she'll politely nod her head. And then 1680 01:52:57.239 --> 01:53:00.640 you throw in an obscene amount of chili flakes, and I mean an obscene 1681 01:53:00.640 --> 01:53:03.000 amount of chili flicks, all right, and then you crush, you crush 1682 01:53:03.079 --> 01:53:05.640 two clothes of garlic. You don't mince it. You crush it, all 1683 01:53:05.680 --> 01:53:10.079 right, sounds so good, and then you throw it in there you let 1684 01:53:10.079 --> 01:53:12.479 it sit. And then if you want to feel a little bit a little 1685 01:53:12.479 --> 01:53:15.199 bit, a little a little bit tinglier, adding a green onion. But 1686 01:53:15.239 --> 01:53:18.479 then you don't you don't mince the green onions or cut them into little medallions. 1687 01:53:18.640 --> 01:53:21.840 You just cut them into like one inch chunks. Like are you storing 1688 01:53:21.880 --> 01:53:25.920 this? Like where does it? Ghost? Body? In a little jar? 1689 01:53:26.560 --> 01:53:29.039 And then does that need to be refrigerated? Like what are we talking 1690 01:53:29.039 --> 01:53:30.640 about? What the refrigerator? Okay? What do you? And you put 1691 01:53:30.640 --> 01:53:33.680 it on just everything everything. It makes a great vinegrette for a salad. 1692 01:53:33.720 --> 01:53:38.319 You dip some meats in it. Can you just make it for me to 1693 01:53:38.439 --> 01:53:41.680 me? Yeah? Or do that? Yeah, OK, I'll sell a 1694 01:53:41.680 --> 01:53:45.079 little I'll send little jars across the country. Show you said sell first and 1695 01:53:45.079 --> 01:53:48.600 then decided you weren't going to sell your friend's sauce. You can make make 1696 01:53:48.640 --> 01:53:51.560 the wedding favors if you ever get like you know or one of those going 1697 01:53:51.600 --> 01:53:55.119 on, like just get that to all your guests or whatever. That's a 1698 01:53:55.119 --> 01:53:58.479 good idea. Oh hold on, I need to people need to know that. 1699 01:53:58.800 --> 01:54:00.199 No, we don't need to show the fish. I'm a fish sauce 1700 01:54:00.199 --> 01:54:02.760 connoisseur. Throw that ship in your scrambled eggs. By the way, I 1701 01:54:02.760 --> 01:54:05.880 know exactly the one you're talking about. It is the best. Thank you, 1702 01:54:05.920 --> 01:54:10.880 Bales. Think I love sesame. So my sesame. You said sesame 1703 01:54:10.960 --> 01:54:14.000 oil that I have in the glass bottle with like only half of the writing 1704 01:54:14.039 --> 01:54:16.279 and Korean, I'm fucking up. Yeah, it sounds like he shook his 1705 01:54:16.319 --> 01:54:20.119 head audio seriously shook his head, took off his head, and he wasn't 1706 01:54:20.159 --> 01:54:23.640 gonna get up and show something. But then you said that, and he 1707 01:54:23.640 --> 01:54:27.840 feels and I feel like I've been making a major mistake and he's gonna correct 1708 01:54:27.880 --> 01:54:31.439 some He's gonna recorrect the trajectory of my life. Now pull shit, He's 1709 01:54:31.479 --> 01:54:35.079 going to change your world right now, that's what I need. You know. 1710 01:54:35.199 --> 01:54:41.199 I wanted to put his sauce on the store.

Also eat KIMSI every day. 1714 01:54:58.880 --> 01:55:05.239 It's good probiotics. Anyway, I don't even know our next email comes 1715 01:55:05.279 --> 01:55:11.640 from our This is I believe about little gimmicks. I didn't completely read this 1716 01:55:12.439 --> 01:55:15.079 BombCast eight oh one, Grub mentioned playing Tears of the Kingdom while prepping his 1717 01:55:15.159 --> 01:55:19.159 daughters for bed. This made me examine my own life. The results are 1718 01:55:19.239 --> 01:55:26.439 unsettling. My kids are six and three, similar to the ages to the 1719 01:55:26.520 --> 01:55:30.000 mini Grubs. There's no fucking way I could play a switch at bedtime. 1720 01:55:30.079 --> 01:55:33.079 My son and daughter are too feral. Instead, I listen to podcasts while 1721 01:55:33.119 --> 01:55:38.279 bathing my children and putting their on their pajamas. Stop the podcast while I'm 1722 01:55:38.319 --> 01:55:43.520 reading stories. Then in case my daughter, the three year old, resume 1723 01:55:43.560 --> 01:55:45.600 the podcast while I lie on her bed and settle her down for sleep. 1724 01:55:46.119 --> 01:55:50.800 Often I listen to gay miss warnings. This means that I have spent a 1725 01:55:50.800 --> 01:55:57.199 lot of time lying in the dark, watching my darling little girl's eyes getting 1726 01:55:57.199 --> 01:56:02.359 heavier while in my ears Grub discusses micro soft purchase of Activision Blizzard. I've 1727 01:56:02.359 --> 01:56:08.239 sensed her breath and getting slower while Grub explained some Jim Ryan bullshit. I 1728 01:56:08.359 --> 01:56:12.000 felt her hand on my face, that she smiles a sleepy smile, and 1729 01:56:12.039 --> 01:56:17.479 in the same moment heard Grub say the words Bobby Cottock. My question is 1730 01:56:17.479 --> 01:56:21.039 this, is there anything in your lives that is vaguely pleasant, harmless and 1731 01:56:21.399 --> 01:56:26.000 banal? Well also being the most fucked up, unhinged, real, deep 1732 01:56:26.039 --> 01:56:30.479 sicko shit imaginable. Love you guys, Ireland for the Rugby World Cup. 1733 01:56:30.680 --> 01:56:34.199 Let's go are I feel like before we even get going on this, I 1734 01:56:34.239 --> 01:56:39.039 want to know that the way you hesitated before saying banal made me confident. 1735 01:56:40.479 --> 01:56:44.439 Yeah, he's gonna say b anal. Yeah, I don't do banal. 1736 01:56:45.960 --> 01:56:47.920 I was trying to figure out a way how to how to how to pronounce 1737 01:56:47.960 --> 01:56:55.199 it fun like a couple of such a beautiful email. Yeahously written, so 1738 01:56:55.239 --> 01:57:00.199 horrifying, but what's the real deep o, deep deep sicko shit, Like, 1739 01:57:00.199 --> 01:57:02.640 I don't think that's having a touching moment with your children while I talk 1740 01:57:02.680 --> 01:57:06.079 about Bobby Cottic. It's a little bit unhinged for sure. Yeah yeah, 1741 01:57:06.119 --> 01:57:10.640 but I don't know if it's like sicko like I mean, yeah, I 1742 01:57:10.680 --> 01:57:13.880 was gonna say. My mind's very similar, pretty much exact same, except 1743 01:57:13.920 --> 01:57:16.680 replaced listening to me with Right now, I'm listening to that American Prometheus, 1744 01:57:16.720 --> 01:57:23.720 So I'm the book on tape for this American Prometheus. Uh, just just 1745 01:57:23.920 --> 01:57:28.199 like Oppenheimer's stuff. So it's like all kinds of like really deep troubling things 1746 01:57:28.840 --> 01:57:31.239 while my children are falling asleep. So hey, you know what, it's 1747 01:57:31.239 --> 01:57:34.920 fine, it's not that unhinged. How what do you mean You're listening to 1748 01:57:35.000 --> 01:57:40.159 that while they are getting Like, well, how does that work? I 1749 01:57:40.319 --> 01:57:45.079 have one bud in and they are either taking a bath or I'm like getting 1750 01:57:45.119 --> 01:57:47.600 all this stuff together to like take their vitamins before bed or brush their teeth 1751 01:57:48.039 --> 01:57:53.199 and basically if I'm doing stuff around the house, I got it. I 1752 01:57:53.279 --> 01:57:57.920 think it's like the I just need that delamin of like something keeping my brain 1753 01:57:57.960 --> 01:58:00.760 engaged so that I can get it done and it'll probably and more efficient manners. 1754 01:58:00.800 --> 01:58:02.680 So I'm listening to something like that while doing stuff that is like a 1755 01:58:02.760 --> 01:58:06.079 daily routine, anything that's daily routine, I'm trying to also have something else 1756 01:58:06.079 --> 01:58:09.680 going on, Yeah, because I feel like I couldn't get away with that 1757 01:58:09.760 --> 01:58:12.720 now with with my kid, because you just feel like, what are you 1758 01:58:12.760 --> 01:58:15.680 listening to? Like, what are you on? I think that's where of 1759 01:58:15.680 --> 01:58:19.920 course the speaker had helps out of course, but I'm a speaker hat. 1760 01:58:20.399 --> 01:58:26.119 Yeah, that's what exactly Hannah and handling that situation. But also, like 1761 01:58:26.199 --> 01:58:29.479 you know, I have it so it's set, so it's it's plain, 1762 01:58:29.560 --> 01:58:31.760 but it's also in one year, but it's also got the pass through so 1763 01:58:31.800 --> 01:58:33.840 it has a little like as kind of like a hearing AIG, so I 1764 01:58:33.840 --> 01:58:38.640 can hear the book on tape or the podcast, and I can hear everything 1765 01:58:38.640 --> 01:58:42.600 that's going on around me. So it's that's pretty seamless. Although everyone in 1766 01:58:42.600 --> 01:58:45.199 my family has this terrible habit of like the one to talk to me and 1767 01:58:45.199 --> 01:58:47.560 then I'm like, okay, and as soon as I start talking to me, 1768 01:58:47.680 --> 01:58:54.000 they're gonna walk away and keep talking. Guys, you've got to talk 1769 01:58:54.159 --> 01:58:59.720 to me. Like that. No, I don't know, but to walk 1770 01:58:59.720 --> 01:59:03.079 into traffic. Yeah, like I will chase. I will chase Stacy down 1771 01:59:03.079 --> 01:59:06.199 and be like, why are you leaving? You? You wanted to talk 1772 01:59:06.239 --> 01:59:11.359 to me? Just talk to me. That's my most said thing in the 1773 01:59:11.399 --> 01:59:15.079 house right now, talk to me. Yeah, Emmy has had full on 1774 01:59:15.199 --> 01:59:21.279 conversations with air or a stranger while I'm like tying my shoes across the street 1775 01:59:21.319 --> 01:59:26.279 and I'm like, yeah, your dog, what the hell? Just your 1776 01:59:26.520 --> 01:59:31.319 special awareness? Now, I gotta admit, I mean I've done that. 1777 01:59:31.399 --> 01:59:35.880 I'm guilty of this every now and then too, I've I've become more conscious 1778 01:59:35.920 --> 01:59:41.479 of it, so I've stut it out. I'm incredibly socially and spatially where 1779 01:59:41.560 --> 01:59:45.720 at all times I'm constantly worried what everyone is thinking and have it making sure 1780 01:59:45.720 --> 01:59:49.079 they're a good time total libra am I right? Yeah, that's what about 1781 01:59:49.079 --> 01:59:53.560 you back? What about you? Bailey? What about me? Oh? 1782 01:59:53.680 --> 01:59:58.119 I don't have children or anything like that. Special awareness with your social My 1783 01:59:58.159 --> 02:00:01.520 spacial awareness is really bad. I do multitask a lot like this, Like 1784 02:00:01.600 --> 02:00:04.399 I think this caller is not caller, This caller is very impressive. This 1785 02:00:04.399 --> 02:00:09.319 email guy is really impressive. Yeah, because you know, doing multiple stuff 1786 02:00:09.359 --> 02:00:13.399 at once. Last night, my biggest multitask was during a Balderskate fight. 1787 02:00:13.399 --> 02:00:15.399 I was playing Slay the Spire on my phone. Oh my god, you're 1788 02:00:18.319 --> 02:00:21.399 you're a smart my life, I don't have kids. I'm doing this. 1789 02:00:23.800 --> 02:00:27.399 You're here, You're a smarter person than I am. Okay, I would 1790 02:00:27.399 --> 02:00:30.199 see. I can't. My brain can't fathom it. I can barely host 1791 02:00:30.279 --> 02:00:35.600 the podcast and read emails. Uh last email. The show is about everyone's 1792 02:00:35.600 --> 02:00:43.039 favorite topic, food ash from Luton, Lutton, England. Right soon, 1793 02:00:43.640 --> 02:00:47.039 Hey bombers. After Okay, maybe it's okay. Maybe it'll be easier if 1794 02:00:47.039 --> 02:00:55.359 I say Luton. There we go there, it's Tuesday, and then I'm 1795 02:00:55.439 --> 02:01:01.119 Lucy James Games Scrimproke. Okay. After thing to episode seventy nine of The 1796 02:01:01.199 --> 02:01:06.760 Dumb Truck, Jeb announced that a pizza without cheese is not a pizza. 1797 02:01:06.960 --> 02:01:11.760 I am allergic to cheese, so I've not had a pizza with cheese on. 1798 02:01:12.199 --> 02:01:15.279 But I was told by someone who lives in Italy at the first pizza's 1799 02:01:15.680 --> 02:01:20.720 never had cheese on with it to begin with. It's called the Marinera. 1800 02:01:21.079 --> 02:01:25.920 So I want to have written it's called a the marinara. It's call he 1801 02:01:26.000 --> 02:01:31.479 pronounced it like the Italian person said, it's called the marana. Thank you 1802 02:01:31.520 --> 02:01:35.359 for correcting me. Thank you for correcting. It's called it's called the marinara. 1803 02:01:35.760 --> 02:01:40.079 So I want to ask Jeb if he would class this as a pizza 1804 02:01:40.319 --> 02:01:45.119 if the Italians do. Ask from England, what are the Italians now about 1805 02:01:45.119 --> 02:01:50.640 pizza? Right? Yeah? And also clearly you've interviewed them all I talked 1806 02:01:50.680 --> 02:01:59.399 to got to say about this opinion you. The email reads I was told 1807 02:01:59.439 --> 02:02:02.880 by some one who lives in Italy there that person could that person could just 1808 02:02:02.880 --> 02:02:10.279 be someone larpin as an Italian. Maybe they're and they're from Ohio. Maybe 1809 02:02:10.319 --> 02:02:15.000 it's just like some freak from like Iowa or something. And then therefore they 1810 02:02:15.039 --> 02:02:18.800 say that all pizzas. Come on, listen, I hate it. I'm 1811 02:02:19.000 --> 02:02:26.720 sorry that you're lactose and tar I am okay or allergic to cheese pizza anyway, 1812 02:02:26.840 --> 02:02:29.640 be strong. Well, I'm not. I'm not encouraging you to do 1813 02:02:29.720 --> 02:02:31.239 that, but I'm also here to I'm also here to tell you that my 1814 02:02:31.319 --> 02:02:35.840 friend Ash, you've never had pizza and you can't because you're allergic and I'm 1815 02:02:35.880 --> 02:02:40.279 sorry. Maybe you should get some non vegan cheese on a pizza or something 1816 02:02:40.279 --> 02:02:43.199 like that. Maybe that'll help you be you know, non allergic. But 1817 02:02:43.319 --> 02:02:45.359 like, come on, no one could tell me that, like pizza without 1818 02:02:45.399 --> 02:02:50.039 cheese is somehow still pizza. Like okay, fine, it doesn't matter, 1819 02:02:50.159 --> 02:02:57.920 it does, Yeah, it doesn't matter. But you know, just muscle 1820 02:02:58.079 --> 02:03:01.800 through your health issues, yeah, and eat things that you're allergic to, 1821 02:03:02.319 --> 02:03:11.640 because that's right. The the energy Also, we're also cross pollinating podcasts, 1822 02:03:11.680 --> 02:03:15.560 and I feel a little icky about that. Number one, number two, 1823 02:03:16.479 --> 02:03:21.680 number two. The energy behind what was said on the dump was that once, 1824 02:03:23.520 --> 02:03:27.399 uh yes, once pizza does not have cheese. It is just like 1825 02:03:27.600 --> 02:03:30.840 bread sauce, right, Like that's just essentially what it is. And I 1826 02:03:30.960 --> 02:03:33.119 do I do remember listening to this conversation. I was in the parking lot 1827 02:03:33.199 --> 02:03:39.640 to Medieval Times and I was listening to you guys have this conversation. And 1828 02:03:39.800 --> 02:03:42.479 in my head because I was like, I'm dealing with the kids, I'm 1829 02:03:42.479 --> 02:03:45.359 talking to stuff about we're going in medieval times and I'm listening to you guys. 1830 02:03:45.359 --> 02:03:46.840 All it was I was trying to multitask and I was failing, So 1831 02:03:46.960 --> 02:03:49.680 in my head what what you were saying. I know this is not what 1832 02:03:49.680 --> 02:03:51.640 you're saying, but I was gonna like make a bit about it when I 1833 02:03:51.680 --> 02:03:54.399 came back, and then I forgot. But now you brought it up here. 1834 02:03:54.399 --> 02:03:56.920 It's like something about it made it sound like you were saying there were 1835 02:03:56.920 --> 02:04:03.960 too many Italians, and I just I had that thought while I was walking 1836 02:04:04.000 --> 02:04:06.800 to it in two medial times, and I just cracked up and made myself 1837 02:04:06.880 --> 02:04:12.760 laugh, And I'm glad you're ada. Who better, who is better position 1838 02:04:12.840 --> 02:04:18.479 to make that declaration than I? Okay, literally, I literally come on 1839 02:04:19.239 --> 02:04:25.119 is everywhere I look. Okay, so I think I'm I'm I'm okay to 1840 02:04:25.119 --> 02:04:29.600 say that I saw you last week? Do you agree? Okay? Okay, 1841 02:04:29.640 --> 02:04:31.760 alright, alright, okay, cool.

At least it was showing up in 1871 02:06:27.159 --> 02:06:32.119 my Spotify because I listened to it all the way through once a week, 1872 02:06:32.560 --> 02:06:40.119 because that's just how much of a freak I am. Yes, and we 1873 02:06:40.279 --> 02:06:44.840 are aware that there's a nice chunk of legacy bomb casts that are missing as 1874 02:06:44.840 --> 02:06:47.239 well, but that's you're just gonna have to be patient with that because it's 1875 02:06:47.279 --> 02:06:50.279 a manual thing. That Yeah, it's gonna be a manual process. It'll 1876 02:06:50.279 --> 02:06:54.920 get fixed though. Yeah, I'm I'm I've downloaded a good chunk of twenty 1877 02:06:55.000 --> 02:07:00.399 thirteen. We were thinking about where I was at in twenty thirteen.

But 1901 02:08:48.319 --> 02:08:50.880 the way it's just to google it. And I googled it and I've found 1902 02:08:52.000 --> 02:08:54.039 someone did the exact same thing, but not just like the same idea, 1903 02:08:54.199 --> 02:08:58.760 the exact same like movie posters with the exact same poses, like the Back 1904 02:08:58.800 --> 02:09:01.840 of the Future. I dead someone else did our stuff two years later, 1905 02:09:01.960 --> 02:09:05.520 and then they got the same viral bump. I'm I'm mad, you should, 1906 02:09:05.640 --> 02:09:13.279 supreating you should. Yeah. One time I took a photo I was 1907 02:09:13.319 --> 02:09:16.159 doing, like I was watching every single Simpsons episode right in a row, 1908 02:09:16.199 --> 02:09:18.039 and I took a photo of the screen during the Elon Musk episode, and 1909 02:09:18.079 --> 02:09:22.680 I posted about it on Twitter and it went viral. And then someone this 1910 02:09:22.760 --> 02:09:28.439 year posted it again, my exact photo of my TV and they're like, 1911 02:09:28.479 --> 02:09:31.399 oh my god, I can't believe this just happened. On the Simpsons, 1912 02:09:31.439 --> 02:09:37.000 like stolen velor motherfuckers off it's my television. Get out of here. Yeah, 1913 02:09:37.159 --> 02:09:43.760 you find them here, I'll post it.
