00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.600
no, what can cure it?
The GDC fever? Yeah, I don't

9
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.359
know. It's if the only care
is more GDC than man? Is he?

10
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.159
And luck Yeah? Geez, though, I don't know he's he's lucky

to get it now because the rest of

12
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:15.719
us are just gonna get it in
a couple of days. Yeah. I

13
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.280
think it's creeping up on me already, feeling like craft great, Well,

14
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.000
why don't we spend two hours and
it's hot fucking clothes so that you can

15
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.079
get get the rest of it.
I don't just put my hands on all

16
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:30.159
of your mouths and get it over
with. Well, I mean you were

17
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.439
doing that or before, right,
But I mean just to be sure.

18
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.640
Okay, I am very ticless on
my top. I used I'd poured hand

19
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:41.200
sanitized it down my throat at that
point, so probably didn't take. So

20
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:47.920
what are your careers like, cop? It's weird. I'm worrying. Yeah,

21
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.560
Hey, hey, it's going good. Vinny Caravella, Oh man,

22
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:56.920

23
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:02.319
up hands man. Yeah, these
things from Poland Polish posh. It smells

24
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:06.319
like so much ketchup taste, like
a screen door on a submarine. What

25
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:10.080
No, these are German? Sorry? Okay, alright, German German ketchup

26
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:13.479
flavored Teddy Bear snat. Well,

29
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.919
a hi, a lot of fun. Alex Navarro, Hi, there you're

30
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.639
here sitting where I normally sit.
Yes, and you're sitting where Ryan normally

31
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.680
sits. Yeah, I don't know, this is it's all a little off.

32
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:39.560
Yeah, it is a little off. But man, big week this

33
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:44.080
week with the Game Developers Conference in
town. We've got a ton of stuff

34
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.560
booked for that. Yeah, and
then g DC and then g DC is

35
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:50.960
also happening, So that's gonna be
crazy. Yeah, that'll be pretty wild.

36
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.639
Actually, you know what, Like
I'm looking over the schedule, I

37
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:58.039
feel like we're seeing a ton of
great games, and like we had to

38
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.719
have the conversation this morning of like, oh, we need to actually go

39
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.120
to the show floor. Yeah,
and shoot video there too at some point

40
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.599
too. So it was like spetree
ain't gonna cover itself, I know.

41
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:08.719
And I feel bad because there are
actually talks I want to see this year,

42
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:12.280
but I feel like some of those
needs are going to be addressed elsewhere.

43
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.800
So what do you consider all of
the peripheral stuff GDC at this point?

44
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.439
If it comes to town for GDC, if it comes down for GDC,

45
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:22.919
it's it's yeah, I know,
it sucks, yeah, but that's

46
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:24.639
how it is. But you know, the GDC serves a purpose for the

47
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:29.400
industry. They go to learn and
network and see these talks and go on

48
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.639
the designer track and the artists track
and all this stuff and see the see

49
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:35.919
these things and yeah, catch colds
and go to bad parties and all that

50
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.479
stuff. But there's a there's a
talk about the MGP that I feel like

51
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:40.879
we should probably try to see if
it's not conflicting with one of our appointments

52
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:45.039
that we already have. And of
course swear he is talking about deadly premonition,

53
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:50.400
but we are going to be graced
with his presence on Tuesday morning,

54
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:53.560
Boilers. By the time you listen
to this, it's gonna happen, we

55
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:59.560
will have met the man. Probably
this might be the last thing you hear.

56
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:03.000
I'm so excited for this. Yeah. I love how he sent a

57
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:06.159
bunch of ideas ahead, like,
yeah, things we could do. Here's

58
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:09.719
like three different things we could do
while in neuro I don't know that I

59
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:13.199
actually read any of that stuff.
Plant the seed in your stomach, see

60
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:15.759
what happens. I've not fallen for
that again, I get I get the

61
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.600
impression there he's never not thinking of
stuff to do, Like he seems like

62
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:24.839
someone who is maybe a tad unchecked
when it comes to his ideas. Yeah,

63
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:29.199
yeah, definitely, he's not not
a shooter designer, no thanks,

64
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.000
so ideas for sure. But yeah, we have a lot of stuff lined

65
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.759
up, a lot of games to
see. But you know, let's let's

66
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.800
get into it the regular way.
Vinnie, hey man, did you play

67
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.519
any video games over the past seven
days? Oh boy, tell me about

68
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.839
them. Take you back. So
you know how Drew is playing Stronghold.

69
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:48.680
Yeah, I was playing Stronghold.
I saw that. I heard it went

70
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.319
on sale for like three dollars or
something. Yeah, from from Good Old

71
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:54.959
Games. But because I'm an idiot, I bought it from Steam and so

72
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.480
I bought the entire like Stronghold collection
for twenty bucks. That's good because I

73
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:00.680
still haven't forgiven Good Old Games for
their whole publicity stuff. You know.

74
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:02.920
I was really behind them. And
then yeah, they pulled that kind of

75
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:05.800
nonsense and they did a little miacolpa. But yeah, that was that was

76
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:12.079
kind of cool. So I played
a bunch of Stronghold and that's fun.

77
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:19.279
What is that? So it's like
it's like an RTS but you're basically you're

78
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:25.680
building a stronghold, okay, but
you're doing resource management and uh it comes

79
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:30.040
down to like kind of like fortifying
your little settlement against I almost want to

80
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:34.399
say it's like, uh, like
a wave based kind of which I'm call

81
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:40.439
yeah, like almost like that.
But without but you're building a castle and

82
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:42.920
the guys are just gonna come at
you in waves, and if your defenses

83
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:45.879
aren't good enough, they're going to
penetrate the walls and they're gonna kill your

84
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:47.319
your night or it's like Rampart.
Do you play with a track ball?

85
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.680
No? You could maybe I couldn't
dig one out. I just turned my

86
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:56.920
mouse upside down. The laser didn't
work well though that That game is really

87
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.079
cool. I I'm kind of curtous
to see where that series is gonna There's

88
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.759
supposed to be like an MMO or
something that's in beta. I haven't checked

89
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:10.800
that out. How Old is a
strong World one way back into the pretty

90
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:15.759
Old and uh, I think there
is another like Stronghold three slate. I

91
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:19.439
could be completely wrong again. Stronghold
not my playing a two thousand and one

92
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:24.279
game, obviously not very familiar with
the franchise. A Strong Suit not my

93
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:28.920
Strong Suit. That's Stronghold three colon
Strong Suit. That's DLCA get the Strong

94
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.639
Suit for like five hundred points.
So it's on a PC. It's fun.

95
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.399
You should watched a quick look if
you're interested in it. If you're

96
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.920
listening to this and don't know anything
about it. A lot of people have

97
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:45.160
played it, apparently pretty popular.
It was a thing well received. Remember,

98
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:46.759
so I like, I burned almost
half a day playing that, and

99
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:49.720
then you know, there's nothing left
but another half a day, so one

100
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:56.360
not put in some more Demon Souls
And I also played something else, which

101
00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:00.399
is a bullet storm. Okay yeah, so so okay, okay, so

102
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.600
Demon Souls? Are you still approaching
it from this whole like I'm need to

103
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:04.480
do this and then die a bunch
of times and then do this, so

104
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:08.600
it's weird. I put it in
another ten hours. My total play count

105
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:13.439
to thirty twenty on one character,
ten on another. Uh. I don't

106
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:15.399
want to talk too much about it
because I spent a lot of time last

107
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:20.240
time talking about it, but I
I did read a lot of things people

108
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.360
sent me, which was like,
dude, you're thinking way too hard.

109
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.319
Yeah that was that was, you
know, the comments on last week's podcast,

110
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:28.439
and it's late. I was seeing
a lot of people just going like,

111
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.560
dude, you don't need to do
any of that stuff, just just

112
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:34.240
play. So I tried that after
I spent another like five hours grinding out

113
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:36.600
some stuff, because then I reached
the point where I was like, okay,

114
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:39.800
yeah, now I got away,
you know, you get some of

115
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:41.759
the best. Yeah, now I
got the bow I wanted. I can

116
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.040
go play it. Uh, and
I'm moving along. You know. It's

117
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:50.439
great. Still still got the same
things that that our one had, you

118
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:55.319
know, an hour thirty. But
again, I don't like actively hate the

119
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:59.720
game by any means. I think
it's actually kind of cool. But it's

120
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:03.160
still has a lot of those same
issues of like, yeah, it's kind

121
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:05.120
of messed up. Yep. It
hasn't hit the point for me where it's

122
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.319
a lot of people seem to hit, which is like it clicks and then

123
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.480
you're suddenly like I understand whatever it's
talking about, and like this is the

124
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.839
most amazing game ever. It's like
still just like I mean, when I

125
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:18.120
say the game's hard, you know, I'm not. I'm not saying I'm

126
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.680
like, oh, like every encounter
is super hard or anything like that.

127
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:26.920
It's just there are systems in place
that aren't explained well. And then encounters

128
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:28.720
where you're a lot of trial and
error, right, so like you can

129
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:33.519
die pretty quickly, and the death
penalty is is fairly can be pretty severe,

130
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.720
right, so you can encounter some
something you've never seen before, and

131
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:41.440
then suddenly just I don't know how
to you know, fight this thing,

132
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:45.519
and you're dead and two hits and
then there's not a lot of checkpoint in

133
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.519
going on. So I'm enjoying it, and I'm gonna keep going, you

134
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.279
know. It's it hasn't burned me
enough to to to keep me off that

135
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.519
souls. But all right, uh
and it seems like you went to the

136
00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:01.279
other extreme maybe with Bulletstorm. I'd
call that game easy. Yeah, it's

137
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.519
default setting. So I kind of
got a little bored kind of going through,

138
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.799
and I was trying to use the
game mechanics to spice it up a

139
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.799
bit, you know, like I'm
gonna just kick dudes or you know,

140
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:18.080
just use these weapons or certain weapons. But I only made it, uh

141
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.679
pass, like slightly passed where our
quick look ended, which is pretty early.

142
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.519
So that's the part where the game
gets good. Basically you have now

143
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:28.039
trucked through all of the slow stuff
at the beginning of that game you're talking

144
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:30.639
about like what about it at the
beginning of act three, Act two,

145
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:37.759
like early act like basically anything after
you get the control that remote control dude.

146
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.159
Yeah, I think pretty much the
after the dinosaur. The game really

147
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:45.080
starts to pick right or after you
crush all those eggs. Maybe that's a

148
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:48.039
little sto but you're right about that. So yeah, I'm like kind of

149
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:52.679
right before the dinosaur bit and then
yeah, you haven't even started the game

150
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.320
yet. Yeah, it still seems
a little kind of slow, very much.

151
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.320
So much that's the game that it
doesn't come into its own until you

152
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:03.639
get more weapons, as much as
it's about balls out action. Why do

153
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.519
they withhold the balls until? You
know? I like you get to do

154
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:09.600
a little bit at the beginning,
but it's just like like here's how you

155
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:13.080
slide cut scene, Yeah, here's
how you vault over stuff. Cut scene?

156
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.519
Right, Like give me a gun
and let me impale a guy,

157
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.519
yeah on a spike or something.
Yeah, they do give you some of

158
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:22.919
that stuff. It's just that they
only give you the assault rifle, which

159
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.840
is not much fun so when you
don't have anything else to mix it up,

160
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.879
and you also you can't even unlock
skill shots at first, like to

161
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.039
that weird, Yeah, but that's
you know, the skill that's Now that

162
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.320
I've played through the beginning of that
game a couple of times, that's like

163
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.159
five minutes or something. It seems
it seems like, yeah, it did

164
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.600
seem long to me as well,
because it was like, I know this

165
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:46.519
is in here, right, And
like why I think the demo does like

166
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.240
a disservice because you you kind of
know what that game is. Is sort

167
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:52.440
of like when you have everything unlocked
and then yeah, you play and go

168
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.360
like, wait, it's something broken. Yeah, we need to go into

169
00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:00.840
a menu and turn on the cool
part. Like what happens the skill shots.

170
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:03.960
Definitely once those unlocked made it,
uh, you kind of have more

171
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.360
of incentive to go out and kill
guys in interesting ways. It's just kind

172
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.240
of like it's because you could get
through the entire well part I played,

173
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.639
I could have gotten through just by
kicking dudes and shooting him in the head.

174
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:16.000
But then at that early part in
the game, that's kind of all

175
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.399
you can do. There isn't too
much. Well, there's some other skill

176
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.360
shots stuff, which is you know, like kick a dude and then shoot

177
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.519
somebody else and then shoot the guy
who just kicked you know, a lots

178
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.919
in the air like that took a
couple of tries, and you know that's

179
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:28.879
exact when I tried it. Every
time I tried to do that one specifically,

180
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.159
I could never get it, uh, and it just happened. It

181
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:33.879
was one of those ones that just
you know, in the middle of chaos.

182
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:35.799
It's one of those things that after
you get the thumper, becomes a

183
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.039
lot easier to do because they stayed
out. I found I found a lot

184
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.840
of those tougher ones you had to
just stop trying, because you drive yourself

185
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:45.039
crazy trying to get trying to shoot
a guy in the ass. Like yeah,

186
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:46.279
it's like, just just play the
game, like do as much crazy

187
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:48.799
stuff as you can, and like
they'll probably happen us again. So I've

188
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.399
got that weird problem where I couldn't
move on until I literally had like done

189
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.799
all that whole thing. But there's
it's it's yeah you can't. It's it's

190
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:00.320
because you know you're still going to
use those weapons later on the Yeah,

191
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.720
and I'm gonna burn them all out, right, But the part that kind

192
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:05.480
of bummed me out, and just
in the early part, and I hope

193
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.039
this, hope this changes. I
haven't bought anything from the drop pods yet

194
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:15.960
because there and I knew this coming
out of the quick look it's like Ammo

195
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:20.159
and like everything else, is locked
at this point. So I'm just stacking

196
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.600
points and like every time I see
a drop pod, I go check it,

197
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:24.720
and it's like, it's not like
I'm getting an upgrade for the gun

198
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.080
or even secondary abilities at this point. It withholds a lot of this stuff.

199
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:30.799
Yeah, it's weird. Hell,
like, I've god, where am

200
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:33.600
I? I think I'm at the
beginning of act four. I've got I've

201
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:35.360
got the flail gun and it still
hasn't let me buy charge for it.

202
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:37.720
I've had that gun for I mean, yeah, you get the shotgun and

203
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.720
you hold on to that thing forever
and you don't get the charge shot for

204
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:43.960
it until way later in the game. So does that stuff just unlock on

205
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:48.159
its own? It's time. It's
progression based. Like you get to a

206
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.440
drop pod and it's like, okay, now you can get this because you're

207
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:52.279
at this part part in the game, did they tell you, like before

208
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.200
you get to the drop pod,
like, oh man, we got a

209
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:58.000
new I think it'll say it'll say
new over the over the stuff, but

210
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.720
you gotta be in it in the
okay, Because I was almost ready to

211
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:03.080
just start skipping them. Just be
like I know that. So you haven't

212
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.840
run into problems where you're almost out
of Ammo or anything like that. But

213
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:13.159
I've definitely just been leashing and kicking
guys into a well. So that's yeah.

214
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:15.480
That that was kind of the other
problem, Like it forced me to

215
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.120
kind of like, you're gonna need
to break with this whole I need to

216
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:22.320
finish all these skills skill shots before
I move forward, Like I had to

217
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:24.559
break with the I'm never gonna buy
Ammo in a game because what if they're

218
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:26.840
a finite number of points, I
want to make sure I can afford every

219
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:31.600
upgrade so you actually get so many
points in that game, and the upgrades

220
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.320
are not that expensive, So buy
Ammo. Okay, Like, don't worry

221
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.519
about it. I haven't had a
problem yet, but I was conserving it

222
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:41.600
because I know he had mentioned that, like Ammo can become sparse, and

223
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:45.840
that's why it becomes sparse is because
you're not buying it. You're supposed to,

224
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.320
but you are supposed to buy it, And you get to a point

225
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.360
where you're basically pulling off skill shots
on almost every single person you're killing.

226
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:54.799
He's just making money. Hey,
Yeah, so you know you're you're just

227
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:58.720
pulling in fifty or one hundred every
time and a clip for the assault rifles

228
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.240
like one sixty or something like that, so that just the math works out

229
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.879
that you will have plenty of points. Don't worry about it. I'm having

230
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:09.679
fun with it. Again. I
did get a little bored, you know,

231
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:13.039
just at some point. Yeah,
I don't honestly, I mean,

232
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.159
like, yeah, by the end
of act one, like, but basically

233
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.879
everything I had played up until we
started doing that quick look, up until

234
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:20.440
the dinosaur thing, I was like, Man, this game doesn't seem very

235
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.559
good at all. Yeah, it's
plot. It was really sort of nothing

236
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:26.799
against you, but I don't feel
like you're far enough to really make that

237
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.200
judgment because well, there is a
specific point where it just jumps. Like

238
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:33.000
I said, I'm just qualifying it
from whatever. Yeah, it's real.

239
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.200
It's really it's ridiculous that the game
is structured like that. They I don't

240
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.159
know if they thought that they were
easing people into it or what, but

241
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:43.519
it's it's a really weird choicey progression. It seems like the kind of thing

242
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:48.639
that would be informed by the notion
of people who don't necessarily play a lot

243
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:50.320
of fast paced shooters, like they
wouldn't necessarily know what to do, so

244
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:54.279
they're just like overly holding your hand
or something in the early goings. I

245
00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:56.960
don't know, but it's like it's
weird because they get the tutorial stuff out

246
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:00.480
of the way and then there's like
a really slow, slow stuff after that,

247
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.559
maybe like you've learned everything, and
then it's you're going and you're like,

248
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.080
well, wait, well, so
okay once you get past act two,

249
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.440
like, does the pace just stay
constant throughout? Is it just like

250
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.000
balls out from there on or really
like you know, you're definitely like clearing

251
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:15.600
out batches of dudes. Then it's
like, Okay, we're gonna hang out

252
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:16.639
here for a little bit and then
there's gonna be cuts scene and we're gonna

253
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:18.679
move to the next area or something
like that. Right, it's not just

254
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.600
like dudes, dudes, dudes use
dudes, right or anything like that.

255
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:24.080
It's just yeah, I mean,
I don't know. If the pace does

256
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:26.840
vary, then I can understand them
wanting to like build it up a little

257
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:30.559
bit, like to try and get
some kind of like you know, eventual

258
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.159
crescendo going, But it does sound
like that goes on for way too long.

259
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:37.919
Yeah, for what it is,
well, especially like the leash is

260
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:41.840
really powerful right in that beginning part
of the game because you you can pull

261
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:45.440
guys from so far away and there
are so few guys coming at you that

262
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:48.879
again though I know, wait wait
later on, like you're like thirty minutes

263
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:52.799
from a point where like it's nothing
but enemies that the leash doesn't work on.

264
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:54.960
Sure, and again, like I
said, it's just a part of

265
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:58.200
map. But you know, if
it makes you put the controller down to

266
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:02.440
break, it's probably not. It's
issue side of that in the review that

267
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:06.039
the starts really slowly. Yeah,
I'm looking forward to going because I actually

268
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:08.639
kind of am digging the universe they
have set up the well, yeah,

269
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:12.600
I know, if they'd get too
deep into that stuff, though I haven't

270
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:15.840
finished, I'm all you halfway through, they get deep enough, you know,

271
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:18.399
And some of it's a little hokey, a little too convenient that you

272
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.120
know, oh, what are the
odds that these characters would meet or something

273
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:26.960
stuff like that. But they do
a better job with the characters and with

274
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:32.120
the story than I ever would have
expected based on like especially the early parts

275
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:33.120
of the game and the script and
stuff like that. You're just like,

276
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.679
this is the most just just the
whole game just felt like it was trying

277
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:40.600
too hard. But by the end
of it, I was like, oh,

278
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:45.120
you know, actually this is pretty
well done. The characters have changed

279
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:48.120
over the course of this game,
and I would be interested in seeing where

280
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:51.039
they go from here. Not major
changes, I mean, you know,

281
00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:55.360
in the context of a fucking completely
crazy action game. But you know,

282
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:57.559
it's uh, well more than I
expected. I enjoyed that there's a very

283
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:00.399
early scene, so it's not I
don't I don't think it's a spoiler that

284
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:04.160
you're kind of walking down the side
of the building doing this kind of like

285
00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:07.599
flashback mission, right, And I
thought that was really cool that one,

286
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:11.680
that one little scene, like feeled
that that universe a bit more of like,

287
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:14.599
oh, this isn't just like speech
pirates kind of like and they got

288
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:18.839
cool glasses. Yeah, Like,
okay, do you sold having finished the

289
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:21.759
game? Do you truck with Ryan's
theory that this takes place in the Gears

290
00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:25.279
universe? No? I mean I
guess it could, but I'm not.

291
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:29.200
There's no direct connection or anything.
No there other than like the engine looks

292
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:33.960
identical and everything is rendered and unreal. Right, Yeah, so in that

293
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:36.400
sense, yes, it is the
exact same universe. It's the exact same

294
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:38.920
universe that every other video game takes
place in. Also, so it's this

295
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:41.759
actually takes place in the BioShock universe. Yeah, okay, no, it

296
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.240
takes place in the Moral Combat versus
DC universe. Would make sense, all

297
00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:49.680
right. So yeah, I spent
some time with that demon souls again,

298
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:53.799
going to keep moving through that.
And they God have mercy and yoursel yeah

299
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:59.039
souls souls, right, the Gods
have mercy. Well I should I should

300
00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:03.240
just mention the PC version of bullet
Storm. Oh so we can just get

301
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:07.640
get all our Bullstorm out. Now
what version? It's a weird port Oh

302
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:10.960
yeah, you played some of it. That's that's what I'm playing. I'm

303
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:15.720
playing the PC version, And this
game I think marks the end over the

304
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.960
beginning of the end of sixteen by
ten resolutions, which is does it not

305
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:23.480
do any technical thing to bring up
but it really just totally is that what

306
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:27.000
you call the yeah, like letter
box or whatever, it's total sides or

307
00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:30.319
no, no, no, on
the top and bottom. But even if

308
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.440
even if you put it to a
resolution which is specifically sixteen by ten,

309
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:37.960
like what is a nineteen twelve hundred
is a sixteen by ten resolution. If

310
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:41.039
you play it at that, it
just slaps the black bars on there.

311
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:45.319
It's still a sixteen letter box presentation. Yeah, which is just a huge

312
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.119
bummer to me. I don't know
if they were do they even you know,

313
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:52.559
I haven't kept up on monitor stuff
much lately, but do they sell

314
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:56.920
sixteen by ten monitors? Still?
That is the the larger soapbox issue here

315
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:00.119
is that, like those things are
getting real hard to find and way more

316
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.400
expensive. It's understandable. I mean, it's sixty by nine is the standard.

317
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:06.480
Well, not only is it the
standard, I'm sure those panels are

318
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:11.160
a lot cheaper to get because that's
they're producing Mosbauy or whatever. But you

319
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.799
know, on a computer display you
want more vertical just web pages and stuff

320
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:18.480
like that. So the answers just
get a bigger sixteen. I'm not going

321
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:22.880
to complaint. Resolutions become standard on
PCs and make capturing a lot easier.

322
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:26.240
Yeah, sure, right, that's
fair. The funky aspectation, I guess

323
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:29.000
that's fair. That's just kind of
a bummer. And you know, like

324
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:32.440
the I'm sure you saw all the
stuff since you were reviewing the PC version,

325
00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:34.400
all the stuff about they encrypted all
the config files in that game,

326
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:37.440
so you can't just go in there
and edit all the stuff the PC uh

327
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:41.000
people are used to being able to
edit. Yeah, so like somebody had

328
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:44.400
to write a little app to be
able to access all that stuff. Yeah,

329
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:47.000
it's not very well encrypted. Yeah. Yeah, it's like it's like

330
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:51.160
the most basic cipher Like somebody somebody
defeated it in about ten minutes. Cheap

331
00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:53.039
version of the club on the game. Why are you basically it's the exact

332
00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:57.279
same thing you used to protect the
PlayStation three ouch Are you actually being serious?

333
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:03.720
No? I would believe it took
a solid like six months for them

334
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:06.119
to start that. Okay, come
on, I'm talking you know at the

335
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:07.519
lower level. If that was like
the algorithm they were using, I don't

336
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:10.400
know, right, why you even
do it then? Anyway? Yeah,

337
00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:12.720
well that's the thing because somebody beat
it in like ten minutes and that kind

338
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:17.440
of the designer I guess of the
game put fourth on Twitter that maybe they

339
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:21.680
did that because the game has online
leaderboards and the files you get access to

340
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:23.799
actually let you completely change the difficulty
of the game. Yeah, so about

341
00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:27.680
that. So about that. I
messed around with that a little bit brought

342
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:30.480
it to my attention. So you're
playing it on very hard with all the

343
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:40.039
numbers tweaks to very easy or easier. Yeah, it's normal. I tried

344
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:41.799
it. I don't know if I'll
finish it that way, but I want

345
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:45.599
to see if I worked. It
totally works because there are different values.

346
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:48.640
They're they're modifiers, you know,
they're like multipliers for here's how much everything

347
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.839
costs in the store, and so
like, I'm very player health and a

348
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:55.400
player health. It's even stuff like
if I was reading the little like variable

349
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:59.160
names correctly. It's sort of like
enemy like time to engagement and stuff like

350
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:03.359
how fast they'll attack, or like
their range for seeing you or hearing you.

351
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:06.079
It's crazy to turn that way down. It's crazy they expose all this

352
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:07.880
stuff. I mean, obviously they
didn't want a lot of unreal games to

353
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:12.359
expose that sort of stuff. People
have definitely hacked a lot of Borderland stuff

354
00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:18.640
on the PC, you know,
editing inventories and stuff like that. They're

355
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:23.079
using similar techniques, not identical,
but similar. Yeah, and you know

356
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:27.839
a lot of people complain about the
PC version because it feels like console port.

357
00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:30.400
I mean it very much is.
So it was a game that you

358
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:33.240
know, having finished it on console
before starting on the PC version, I

359
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:36.359
understood the way the controls worked.
But some people were like, why is

360
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:37.920
the space bar do three different things? You know, and stuff like that.

361
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.480
It's like, well, because when
it's a button, it makes sense

362
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:45.759
for it to run and vault and
you know, and so on. And

363
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:48.279
I actually thought it controlled pretty much
fine out of the box. Or you

364
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:51.559
turn off the mouse smoothing, yeah, I had to. Once you do

365
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:56.640
that, it's feels super scuorely.
Yeah, it's weird. And once I've

366
00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:59.079
done that, but you know,
other people want to go edit their FOV

367
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:02.279
and do all other stuff you can
get to that. It's just it's obfuscated.

368
00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:03.640
It's like one extra step. It's
not a huge deal. But but

369
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:07.920
I guess I should say, just
as you know, just to anger some

370
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.480
people out there, I guess that
I've always found fov editing to be insane.

371
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:14.640
And unless you're in a case where
you're running a game that wasn't meant

372
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:18.799
to be seen in sixteen nine or
sixteen ten on a wide screen monitors,

373
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:19.839
in those cases, people have to
fuck with it. But yeah, some

374
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:25.200
people seem to have motion sickness.
With weird. Yeah, but then some

375
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:27.160
people just like tunnel it all the
way out for competitive reasons. Yeah.

376
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:30.480
That that like when you're getting the
weird fish eye effects. Yeah, is

377
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:33.200
when you've gone too far. Yeah, but I don't know, I've always

378
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:37.039
just thought of that stuff was weird. You shouldn't be able to edit that

379
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:41.079
stuff. The developers had a vision
about the way you should see that game.

380
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:49.319
Right, I'm gonna back slowly away
from the internet whatever. Yeah,

381
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:52.680
it's it's it's a good it's a
good enough port ideal. Yeah, and

382
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.319
there's some stuff like when you go
into the skill shot database, the mouse,

383
00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:59.640
Yeah, there's control it like the
mouse works on the main menu,

384
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:03.759
knows the stuff just fine. But
when you get into those menus it's like

385
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:08.680
key in the store is w ASD
and space bar. Yeah, it's a

386
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:12.519
little weird, but you don't works
really well in that game sixty game pad

387
00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:18.599
that would make some sense, works
pretty well. So so it does.

388
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:22.359
Look it's great. So are we
are we at the console point where in

389
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:27.039
PC stuff is is taking the lead
again? I've been there for like it's

390
00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:30.680
like visually absolutely, we've been there
for a while. Well, I don't

391
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:33.079
think it's been. I guess maybe
you didn't see as much stuff coming on

392
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:37.279
the PC because I didn't hadn't heard
people talking about it as much of like,

393
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:38.440
yeah, you need to check this
out on the PC, like you

394
00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:41.200
need to check Dead Rising. Yeah. I guess yeah. I think it's

395
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:45.440
just that it's become like they're they're
starting to get through the outer edges of

396
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:48.319
it. It's more than just the
resolution boost. It's getting to be you

397
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:52.920
know, like fast load times.
But we're not talking like different lighting,

398
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:56.200
right, We're not talking like there
are like lighting effects that you're seeing that

399
00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:59.720
just aren't in the usually not Probably
the most likely thing you'd see is like

400
00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:03.160
high resolution textures because those can be
designed at high resolution and then bust it

401
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:06.680
down. But I don't think you're
going to see more like geometry on stuff.

402
00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:08.319
And I think that stuff, Oh, it's definitely the case where like

403
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:11.119
you know, it's a port.
It's like, right, this was written,

404
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:14.960
it's like Xbox and PS two games. The Xbox game it looked a

405
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:17.680
little bit better because all they had
to do was just you know, turn

406
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:21.920
on Andy aliasing and run it for
eighty or whatever. But well to that

407
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:25.079
effect though, like one was the
last PC Port you played. I mean

408
00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:27.799
it maybe looked a lot better than
its console versions, but at the same

409
00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:33.480
time, like didn't have some sort
of weird control quirk or you know issue

410
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:37.319
or that. Yeah, so angered
the piece. I think it stuff like

411
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:42.839
Bulletstorm. The problems are definitely surmountable, right, you can get around that

412
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:45.319
stuff. It's just more of a
question of should you have to but a

413
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.400
lot of shouldn't you shouldn't you have
a lot of those games, Like you

414
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:51.279
said, you're just plugging a game
pad and it's like now you're just playing

415
00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:53.680
it on a more powerful three sixty
kind of without maybe your friends listen and

416
00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:57.119
stuff. But like, uh,
and that's the kind of interesting part is

417
00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:02.359
like you know, is at the
end of this generation, like once people

418
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:06.920
are like being able to look at
that stuff easily and be like, yeah,

419
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:11.000
three sixties old. You know,
that's some old technology in there,

420
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:15.279
because that is what you're what you're
to come out. So it's you know,

421
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:19.359
backdated. Looks like two years before
the technolog Yeah, I think it's

422
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:25.519
time. Let's move on and given
another two years two years, are thinking

423
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:30.000
everyone should just throw out their xboxes
right now. They're done. Geez,

424
00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:34.240
build a cool, PC man,
I'm not ready for that. Play stronghold.

425
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:40.720
As soon as you stop inverting your
look? What because I start inverting

426
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:44.559
my mouse? Look? Because you're
just you're You're just part of an obsolete

427
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:48.799
generation. I am. It's true. I want to get Paul Barnett back

428
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:52.160
in here and have him talk about
inverted look. Says that only old people

429
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:56.519
do it. We're old, and
that there's a generation of kids that would

430
00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:00.559
never even think to do it,
and that it's ridiculous and it's eventually going

431
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:04.200
to go away. You're part of
a dying breed, saying heartily agree with

432
00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:07.680
him, And I wonder, at
what point is mouse and keyboard a dying

433
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:11.880
breed? Oh god, it's getting
there. With the way that developers are

434
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.319
treating the platforms. Yeah, yeah, with the way that the audience that

435
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:18.359
prefers a mouse and keyboard gets treated, At what point do they just up

436
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:21.960
and go like do they either say, well, I guess I'll start playing

437
00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:25.160
with it with a game pad or
just say fuck this, I'm not playing

438
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:29.519
games anymore. But there are still
those genres that they absolutely absolutely and you

439
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:33.160
know, for those genres, I
think that mouse and keyboard will will continue

440
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:36.440
to exist, but sure, But
for the shooter, do you think there

441
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:41.599
will come a time? It seems
like only when it becomes non trivial to

442
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:45.039
include mouse keyboard support, like as
it is right now, I have to

443
00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:48.039
imagine the API hooks and stuff or
such that it just sort of is there,

444
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:52.240
right. Yeah, it's gave me
that hard to include. Yeah,

445
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:55.480
on that platform. Plus it's expected
to be included. Yea. You know,

446
00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:57.799
as time goes on, and as
you know, the generation of people

447
00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:03.720
that expect that get older and the
new generation comes in. Like I think

448
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:06.119
one point does it all shift?
And well, at that point it all

449
00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:08.400
shifts, and no one's playing first
person shooters because they're just playing Facebook games.

450
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:12.839
I think I think you still need
a big shift on the PC,

451
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:17.720
Like maybe once it all becomes touch
screen and on screen keyboards and stuff,

452
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:21.279
then it's like you don't even have
a mouse anymore. So once we're playing

453
00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:23.319
video games in Minority Report is what
you're saying. Yeah, and that's when

454
00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:26.400
the shift happened. Then we're all
done and then I'm gonna I don't want

455
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:29.599
to play games like that. I'm
gonna invert my touch screen. I'm just

456
00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:36.000
gonna Yeah. So that was That
was my That was my weekend. And

457
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:40.319
then on Sunday I shared some time
with Alex Navarro, played the Oscars game.

458
00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:42.039
We played the Oscars game on TV. It was the get drunk and

459
00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:47.680
watched the Oscars game. No,
we won, We defeated the Oscars.

460
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:48.839
I don't know, did you watch
the Oscars? Yeah, no, we

461
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:52.920
beat it. We beat the show. I beat the Oscars by not watching

462
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:56.079
The fair Way to Go. No, we had a good time. We

463
00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:57.640
hung out, we watch the Oscars. It was fun in spite of the

464
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:00.759
show entirely in I've turned it on
for a little bit near the beginning and

465
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:03.799
it was like you and Rory on
the couch with some dude and I was

466
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:06.319
like, I don't even know what's
going on. Oh the dude who looked

467
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:08.000
like Eric Pope. It wasn't Eric
Pope. Yeah, that was that's Roy's

468
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:12.559
friend justin. Oh has he been
in here before due. He's just sitting

469
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:17.480
on the couch on camera. He
has a Pope had he has Pope sideburns.

470
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:19.200
He was wearing a plaid shirt.
It was it was really right.

471
00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:22.319
Oh okay, yeah, like Pope
Pope, like the Pope. Yeah,

472
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:26.400
oh, the Pope. The Eric
pope, the Eric Pope. Yeah,

473
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:29.559
so he was there and a pope. He became the villain of the night

474
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:33.880
because he hated Inception and that did
not draw the that that drew the irs.

475
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:37.519
So I went out to a pizza
place for someone's birthday for a little

476
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:40.319
bit, and the oscars were kind
of on in the background, and I

477
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:42.119
did actually manage to see the best
picture. And there was a guy there

478
00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:45.480
who I guess hadn't been keeping up
on it or something, And yeah,

479
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:48.599
he was the exact same bot like
when Inception, who would nominate that piece

480
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:53.440
of shit movies a pile of trash
bunch And he wasn't coming at it from

481
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:57.400
the I don't get it. I
don't don't make no sense to my stupid

482
00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:03.920
brain. Right. It was more
just this like active active hatred and indignation

483
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:07.039
that someone would even think that that
movie was in the same league as he

484
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:11.119
wasn't going on his way to talk
positively about any of the other movies.

485
00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:12.960
Yeah, I don't know, just
struck me as a little weird. Maybe

486
00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:18.880
he only watches Adam Sandler movies.
You know, I don't know who you're

487
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:21.920
talking about, but I don't think
you know this dude, but yeah,

488
00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:23.079
who knows, but yeah, so
we did that and that was fun.

489
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:27.279
There was my favorite moment of the
night, and I remember how it exactly

490
00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:30.799
happened, but there was this like
James Franco, who's co hosting, right,

491
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:34.559
yes, uh, doing their you
know, you gotta feel sorry.

492
00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:38.440
Sometimes award shows are top. So
they're doing their award show banter right bad

493
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:42.640
and they come back from commercial break
and I don't know how this happened.

494
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:47.400
Here's how I like to imagine it
happened. In run throughs. There was

495
00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:52.640
a joke in there about movie names
were pretty weird this year, and because

496
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:55.920
you have Winter's Bone and how to
train your dragon? Right, So they

497
00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:57.799
come back from break and he's just
sitting there and doing its kind of like

498
00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:02.920
James Franco, kind of like weird
posture he's got like he's very stiff,

499
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:07.240
like he's very uncomfortable. It's it's
odd standing next to the coast who is

500
00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:11.119
Ann Hathaway Hathaway and she's got this
weird look on her face and he's sitting

501
00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:14.960
there with this kind of weird smirk
hunters on his face and he goes,

502
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:19.720
you know, this year, a
lot of movies have really weird names like

503
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:27.960
Winter's Bone like inappropriate names was and
how to Train Your Dragon like the most

504
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:33.720
like yeah, like throwing the joke
under the bus as flat yeah, and

505
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:37.079
she like halfway through it, she
that kind of laughs, right, just

506
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:41.079
like are you fucking doing this?
I'm serious? And like that was it,

507
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:45.160
man, that was the bit.
There was no fallow up yeah,

508
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:48.039
like no band like she just that
was for him. That was just for

509
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:49.759
him and maybe her. He had
to get one in for him. But

510
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:52.400
the whole the whole night was like
that, though, like half the jokes

511
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:56.400
didn't have follow ups or punchlines.
It was just sort of like here's the

512
00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:02.039
setup and here's the nominee. But
that but that one in particular just seemed

513
00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:04.799
like he totally didn't want like this
is stupid, take that out this yeah,

514
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:07.559
and then it shows up in the
teleprompter or something or like before like

515
00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:12.799
you're doing the Winter's Bone joke because
I don't do it joke. My favorite

516
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:15.839
night or sorry, my favorite moment
of the whole night that I watched because

517
00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:19.920
in What's Whole Thing was Billy Crystal
getting a standing ovation just for walking onto

518
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:23.160
the stage. Billy Crystal is the
new Bob Hope. Guys, Billy Crystal

519
00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:26.200
is still alive. But but it
was just like it was like, oh

520
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:29.599
god, Billy take the bike phone, like save us, yeah, save

521
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:32.799
the show, right, Okay?
Yeah. I was like because I was

522
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:34.039
sitting here thinking like why the fuck? But I want to stand up for

523
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:37.559
fucking Billy Crystal. But like like
maybe if it's the end of comic relief,

524
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:41.440
yeah, fair now that'd be whoop
be Goldberg, maybe all three of

525
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:45.000
them. Yeah, uh yeah.
He he is definitely he's the new Bob

526
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:48.839
Hope. He is the kind of
old classy dude you bring up I've been

527
00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:52.519
doing this forever. Well he was
even yeah he was talking about Bob Hope.

528
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:56.359
Yeah, but everybody was just remembering
when the OSCAR hosting was tolerable.

529
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.480
Yeah, it wasn't last night so
much. The last one I think I

530
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:05.319
actually legitimately enjoyed was John Stewart.
I haven't watched literally the Oscars and like

531
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:07.720
yeah, yeah, but like,
yeah, John Stewart I could see doing

532
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:10.559
a good job. He was good, you know, he definitely felt restrained

533
00:32:10.599 --> 00:32:14.519
compared to like what he can do
on Comedy Central. But he was funny.

534
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:17.640
And then I liked Hugh Jackman's musical
numbers and not much else like the

535
00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:22.759
I don't know, David Litterman.
Watching watching it, I get a sense

536
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:27.079
that the there was a first time
I watched Oscars in a long time,

537
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:30.400
and it just seemed like it's not
a fun industry right now, and like

538
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:36.759
everybody's kind of taking himself pretty seriously. You have this whole generation that's moved

539
00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:39.160
on that were all these like amazing
actors that everybody respects, and there's like

540
00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:42.839
this kind of weird gap. There
are still actors that everybody respects, but

541
00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:45.599
not on like the de Niro kind
of Jack Nicholson kind of like you know,

542
00:32:46.119 --> 00:32:49.720
right older group, and like you
have a bunch of kind of younger

543
00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:52.160
kids that everybody's kind of like these
guys kind of suck and like we have

544
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:54.440
to make movies, but like these
guys kind of sl well, they're like

545
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:58.119
struggling. I think they're struggling to
figure out who matters, you know,

546
00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:00.279
like who who is actually important versus
who is just kind of like the weird

547
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:02.559
flavor of the week. And that's
what it felt like. It felt like

548
00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:07.440
there were a bunch of dudes.
Maybe again, I invert my controls to

549
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:09.400
me, I'm just too old for
this. H Like a lot of these

550
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:12.599
people that are like are they going
to be back here next year, like

551
00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:15.200
you know, headlining these things,
You're gonna be back up here? And

552
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:20.640
then Billy Crystal walks out and it's
like I've known Billy Crystal for a long

553
00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:25.599
time personally. Yeah. Yeah,
But then Kirk Douglas came out and reminded

554
00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:30.079
you that we're all going to die
someday, and that was really really rough.

555
00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:34.839
He is so old. Oh my
god. Yeah. So the place

556
00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:37.000
I was at didn't have any of
the volume up or anything like that,

557
00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:38.079
and I looked at you miss nothing. I had this moment of like,

558
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:43.160
is that Sandra Bullock? Yes,
she's great. I like Sandra, Sure,

559
00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:45.759
she's America sweetheart. Yes, I
guess, but it's yeah. There

560
00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:47.039
was definitely this moment of just like, that's where you're at, Like,

561
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:50.680
Sandra Bullock's gonna present award. Well, she won Best Actress last year.

562
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:53.319
That's why she came out, Yeah
to the Best Actor, because the Best

563
00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:57.440
Actor Actress winners from last year.
I always do those categories, okay,

564
00:33:57.480 --> 00:34:00.400
and she probably got Adam part of
the half of the show. Oh she

565
00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:05.920
was by far the funniest, by
far. She is eminently likable. Yeah,

566
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:07.559
she's just I don't know. I
feel like she had her moment.

567
00:34:07.719 --> 00:34:10.400
Yeah, I could not care less
about a Sandra Bullock movie. But yeah,

568
00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:15.960
the net guys, Speed come on, come on, come on.

569
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:19.239
That's what she won Best Actress for
right, Yeah, I know it was.

570
00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:22.559
It was Retroactive Award for Speed two
Cruise Control. Of course they do

571
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:28.639
those, Yes, when they realize
they've made a mistake. Yeah, they

572
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:32.880
correct it totally. It is nice
anyway, that's my oscar bit. Okay,

573
00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:37.239
I'm sorry. Yeah, uh,
Brad, have you played any video

574
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:42.920
games? Hello? Man, I
don't even know where to start. I

575
00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:45.840
finished the SaaS screen two. Nice
Finally, was it everything you know?

576
00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:49.840
Over the weekend? Man? What
the hell was that? Yeah? Exactly?

577
00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:52.960
See you in a couple of months
after Brotherhood, it was all well,

578
00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:55.280
right, it was all I could
do. I finished conversation again.

579
00:34:55.800 --> 00:35:00.000
I finished it when I was very
sleepy late at night on a Saturday.

580
00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:02.559
The still all I could do not
to throw in Brotherhood right away, just

581
00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:07.039
to see how that thing opens up, because it opens up, I think

582
00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:10.079
exactly. With the last couple of
minutes of yea too, all right,

583
00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:14.039
so because yeah, I would have
been going crazy. I'm sure you guys

584
00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:16.320
when you finish that game when it
was new, like with nothing else to

585
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:20.199
follow that up. Uh, I
don't know. There was so much of

586
00:35:20.360 --> 00:35:22.639
other stuff coming out at the time. There wasn't really time to sit there

587
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:23.719
and go like, man, it
really like more Assassin's Creed. It was

588
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:27.440
more like I've got nine other games
sitting yes, sure, sure, it's

589
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:30.920
just it's a little cliffhangery. Yeah, they don't they I will say this

590
00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:34.000
though, they don't address some of
the stuff from the end of two until

591
00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:37.199
pretty near the end of Brotherhood.
You know, just stab dudes from you

592
00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:38.920
gotta keep you on the hook,
you know. I gotta get back to

593
00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:42.480
that at some point. I feel
like I've learned some Italian playing that game.

594
00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:45.159
Nice? Just so much have you
learned Italian? For stabbed that guy?

595
00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:50.599
Oh? I didn't get that one
so much. It's rescue directly translation.

596
00:35:57.440 --> 00:36:01.679
It's a good game. It's a
good game. Un I know there

597
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:07.760
was something else Stronghold. Yeah that
should we just talk about the showcase stuff.

598
00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:10.639
Well, Alex, you play anything
else. I've been playing a few

599
00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:14.920
things here and there, I actually
I almost bought Bullet Storm last week.

600
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:17.039
I decided I'm going to hold off
a little bit until it's a little cheaper.

601
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:21.039
It sounds great, but it also
seems like the sort of thing I

602
00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:23.400
would totally play for like a week
and then maybe not touch again, not

603
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:27.039
even necessarily a week. Well,
I mean, I might probably go back

604
00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:29.599
and play that that other mode for
a little bit, and then I mean,

605
00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:30.679
you know, we went and bought
that game Tuesday morning, and I

606
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:35.039
had to review up Wednesday evening.
So I play in smaller chunks than most

607
00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:37.400
people. I think. Yeah,
but I think that once that game is

608
00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:42.599
like forty or something, I will
probably invest in it. But I actually,

609
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:46.400
inexplicably last week popped in punch Out
for the first time. I've had

610
00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:50.360
it forever, and I had never
bothered for the wei. Yeah, I

611
00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:54.239
had never bothered to touch it before, and I'd played it at like at

612
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:57.840
like demo stations and other people's houses. I never actually sat there and tried

613
00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:00.880
to play through it. That game's
fucking hard, ye holy shit. Like

614
00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:05.239
it starts out okay, but then
like within half an hour, I was

615
00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:07.440
like, I don't want to do
this anymore. I'm so angry at this

616
00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:12.000
were playing with You were playing with
the controller, right, not the stuff.

617
00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:14.559
No, I wasn't doing the motion
stuff. I mean, I like

618
00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:16.719
it. It's it's a really neat
game, and it's a pretty neat tribute

619
00:37:16.719 --> 00:37:22.599
to the original. But holy shit, they were not screwing around with that

620
00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:24.880
game. Yeah. I wonder if
there was talk for a while. I

621
00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:29.199
know, I'm pretty sure those guys
were starting to work on a sequel.

622
00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:30.000
I just don't know if I would
think. I mean, that game sold,

623
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:32.880
Okay, didn't, I'd imagine so
I think so yeah, And I

624
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:36.599
don't know. I know that's like
a weird random game to like pull out

625
00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:37.519
of nowhere. But it's like I
was just sitting on my shelf. I

626
00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:39.960
was looking for something to plan.
I was like, well, I could

627
00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:43.639
play any of these games that are
more than like ten hours long, or

628
00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:45.760
I could play this thing that I
could very easily play in like fifteen minute

629
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:50.079
chunks. I'm going with this,
And you know, I'd spent about an

630
00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:52.599
hour and a half on it,
and I was like, I think I

631
00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:55.719
got through maybe like three dudes.
It's like, yeah, it is that

632
00:37:55.800 --> 00:38:00.280
a game is rough. I'm sure
someone is mocking me. Ruthlessly right now

633
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:02.199
for for sucking at that game.
But well it's all you know, it's

634
00:38:02.199 --> 00:38:06.599
all pattern It is all pattern and
I started to get some of the patterns,

635
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:10.480
but it is just try playing Docs
punch Out or whatever the other the

636
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:15.360
wee. I saw that, Yeah, I remember that. It was like

637
00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:20.519
the fun Club thing. Yeah,
yeah, one of the great Nintendo downloads

638
00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:23.239
of all times. Yes, I'm
understand you're something of a connoisseur of them.

639
00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:28.119
I know a thing or two about
downloadable products for Nintendo platforms. Well,

640
00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:30.119
we can talk about that later,
but just to say so you say

641
00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:32.079
that ranks highly among them, I'd
say, so, okay, you know,

642
00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:35.960
it's like it's relatively rare, like
there's there's a lot of things going

643
00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:38.159
forward. It's it's going to open
up your book. I love it.

644
00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:43.320
You should. You should start like
a Nintendo downloads like like antiques road show,

645
00:38:44.079 --> 00:38:47.559
like evaluating like the relative value of
each Nintendo download. I found this

646
00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:52.320
in my grandmother's addict. It's a
bit trip beat. Any idea what this

647
00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:53.480
is worth? No? No,
I was hoping, you know, as

648
00:38:53.559 --> 00:38:55.719
I found it up there, I
was hoping maybe it was worth a couple

649
00:38:55.760 --> 00:39:00.280
of bucks. Eight hundred wee points
really, eight hundred wee points really?

650
00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:04.599
Yeah, wow, very it's a
very nice shape. Not not really sure

651
00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:07.039
what this game is called, but
it's there's these flowers and you cut their

652
00:39:07.079 --> 00:39:12.599
petals like their hair. Uh it's
like a tree and you you cut it

653
00:39:12.679 --> 00:39:15.719
and that's the game. And now
what's the story with this? Uh?

654
00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:20.400
I don't know how did this come
into your life? Uh? Well,

655
00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:24.199
you know, I was looking for
games that let me cut hair on the

656
00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:29.119
Nintendo, of course, and that
was the first one that that came along,

657
00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:31.320
one of them. There were several
others, but that was the first

658
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:36.960
one I saw. I'm sorry,
this one's counterfeits knockoff. So it's really

659
00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:38.880
worth you know, just enjoy it, you know, enjoy it for the

660
00:39:38.920 --> 00:39:42.440
story, for the you know,
you're for the history and your family.

661
00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:45.800
But it's it's worth eighty week points. I spent six hundred on it.

662
00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:52.760
Well there you got all the winners. Anything else, No, not really,

663
00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:58.320
I mean usual stuff. Yeah,
these two Portsland birds nesting. You

664
00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:01.159
put a bird on this bird,
you might have something. But Grandpa was

665
00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:06.320
stationed in the Far East during the
war, sent me this letter and he

666
00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:13.159
downloaded this copy of disco light,
this kind of Chinese man. Uh so

667
00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:20.800
I've obviously played a bunch of Bulletstorm
reasonable for that review, but then plains

668
00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:23.159
Fight Night Champion, which I haven't
played a ton of it. You know.

669
00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:27.840
It's like we've we've got a quick
look going up on the site this

670
00:40:27.880 --> 00:40:30.719
week. You can check out.
It's you know, control wise, it

671
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:34.000
seems very similar to the previous games, which I liked, So that's cool.

672
00:40:34.519 --> 00:40:37.519
I think it looks really nice.
I think the story stuff seems smart

673
00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:39.559
so much. I haven't played enough
of it to say one way or the

674
00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:43.880
other. So what is the story
stuff? It's basically like you're playing as

675
00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:45.760
a set character going through a story
like that, you know, does like

676
00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:51.360
the whole first fight and the first
fight slash tutorial is in prison, so

677
00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:53.760
it's like undisputed, and then it
goes there it says like four years earlier

678
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:59.320
and goes back to like you winning
the gold medal at some amateur competition and

679
00:40:59.360 --> 00:41:02.960
then turning right and you know,
introducing a bunch of evil, conniving fight

680
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:10.000
promoters that and your outsized baby brother
who you can tell is just going to

681
00:41:10.039 --> 00:41:15.599
get you in some kind of nightclub
fight later on. Yeah, he's number

682
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:19.599
one. Yeah, yeah, troubling
entourage. Why did they never do this

683
00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:23.719
for Matt because Blitz the league beat
him to it, just saying it's like

684
00:41:23.719 --> 00:41:28.480
they've already had that superstar mode forever
and they've never done anything CD with it.

685
00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:31.800
It's because the NFL would never do
anything and boxing has no authority at

686
00:41:31.800 --> 00:41:35.480
this point exactly. I mean,
you know, I don't think they necessarily.

687
00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:38.000
I mean they're going out and getting
licenses from specific fighters, right because

688
00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:43.400
there's no there's no definitive boxing league
to or something, right. Yeah,

689
00:41:43.400 --> 00:41:47.480
they're all over the Yeah Women's Basketball
Association, Yeah, totally, that's one

690
00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:52.199
of them. Uh yeah. Boxing
is like a total mess, so there's

691
00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:53.599
no one that's gonna like regulate that
stuff, like you. The closest you

692
00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:57.199
could get is Don King, and
his boxing game was not good. So

693
00:41:57.760 --> 00:42:00.079
also he don't give a fuck,
right, he would have that a heartbeat

694
00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:04.320
like, oh hell yeah, I'll
jump up on the table, make sure

695
00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:07.599
you get my hair right. Only
in America. So here's what I hope

696
00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:09.480
for this story because actually, from
what I've seen, actually, yeah,

697
00:42:09.639 --> 00:42:15.800
I think it's kind of cool.
I think the characters seem interesting and then

698
00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:17.920
kind of engaging and they don't seem
too cheesy, you know, like a

699
00:42:20.280 --> 00:42:24.920
I hope it doesn't just become you
know, cut sing regular exhibition, fight

700
00:42:25.079 --> 00:42:29.639
cutsing, regular exhibition. But it
would be really interesting if they brought some

701
00:42:29.719 --> 00:42:32.039
of that story into the fight,
like you know, like yeah, you

702
00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:36.880
know wrestling style, it's like something
weird happened during some of the fights.

703
00:42:36.960 --> 00:42:38.920
You know, some juj just has
a heart attack during a fight and like

704
00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:43.840
whoa, whoa, whoa, or
you have to decide if you're gonna throw

705
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:46.840
a fight or not. Would be
really interesting because I could see it kind

706
00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:51.119
of getting a little you know,
awesome intense cutsing and then you know,

707
00:42:51.159 --> 00:42:52.199
back into this right it's like,
all right now, I'm just beating the

708
00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:57.119
crap out of this dude. Yeah, I think you're probably closer with the

709
00:42:57.239 --> 00:43:00.280
thing you don't want than the thing
you do want. I feel like thing

710
00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:04.960
you're asking for is asking for an
awful lot of creativity when it comes to

711
00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:07.440
a career mode. In a sports
game, Sky takes Boston glove off and

712
00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:12.840
he's got a gun underneath it himself. Yeah, he gets on his knees

713
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:15.519
in the end zone himself and shoots
himself in the head like this demon comes

714
00:43:15.559 --> 00:43:19.920
out. Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, and then then you have to

715
00:43:19.960 --> 00:43:23.920
fight Piston Honda. Great, I'd
buy that game. Uh, Beyond Good

716
00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:28.800
and Evil HD been playing kind of
the early parts of that for various videos

717
00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:31.719
we've been doing fair over the past
few days. I didn't play the first

718
00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:37.599
one or the original, but it
seems lovingly restored. Yeah, yeah,

719
00:43:37.719 --> 00:43:42.199
it looks nice and that runs very
smoothly. I think, you know,

720
00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:45.400
fans of that game will will probably
appreciate it. But more importantly, I

721
00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:49.239
think that it's a game that's aged
well enough and they've updated nicely enough that

722
00:43:49.519 --> 00:43:53.079
you could get into this now.
Will those fans rejoice? I don't know.

723
00:43:53.320 --> 00:43:58.039
Okay, I've never rejoiced once in
my life, so I don't really

724
00:43:58.079 --> 00:44:00.400
know what that's about. Do you
feel like this is sort of the last

725
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:04.000
ditch test case to see if Ubisoft
is finally going to put the money into

726
00:44:04.039 --> 00:44:07.840
Beyond Good and Evil too? Totally? Yeah, they did, but they

727
00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:09.400
also haven't said didn't anything about it. They didn't announce it, like that

728
00:44:09.440 --> 00:44:14.119
trailer or whatever leaked out and then
they were like, oh, that's not

729
00:44:14.119 --> 00:44:16.800
even necessarily a game. It's like
it's a thing they kind of tried to

730
00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:20.119
back away from it, and then
when we were at E three at the

731
00:44:20.199 --> 00:44:23.480
Ubisoft press conference, you asked,
like, so, what's up with What

732
00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:27.159
did they say? They said,
Oh, it's not really ready for It's

733
00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:29.679
not something we're focusing on at the
moment, right, So it was not

734
00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:34.119
a denial that it existed as a
game, but it was a you know,

735
00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:38.800
this project is in I am alive
territory somewhere. Michelle Ansel isn't a

736
00:44:38.800 --> 00:44:44.159
French bunker, and he's just you
know, furiously, yeah, sketching away

737
00:44:44.199 --> 00:44:47.400
on this this idea in an Opium
den. That's what I met by French

738
00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:52.639
bunker. Yeah, yeah, yeah, designing new species of Alisha's. Yes,

739
00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:55.480
exactly. It's weird ending. I
didn't want to spoil it. But

740
00:44:55.679 --> 00:45:00.599
at the end, you know,
she gets into the animus and okay,

741
00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:02.159
you know, Desmond wakes up and
goes, man, that was really fucked

742
00:45:02.239 --> 00:45:05.880
up. One let's go back to
Italy. She gets out of the animals

743
00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:12.800
and it's Jade Raymond, what Yeah. And then Torchlight, which there's a

744
00:45:12.840 --> 00:45:15.159
quick looking up on the side of
Friday. We talked Friday, which you

745
00:45:15.199 --> 00:45:20.880
can you know what it's torch should
talk about it with a controllers, there's

746
00:45:20.920 --> 00:45:23.840
not that much that instead of a
mystery keyboard at this point, and uh,

747
00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:28.199
direct control. Yeah, that's what
I mean. It was at the

748
00:45:28.199 --> 00:45:31.079
event playable there, so you know
there's no bargo on that event. That's

749
00:45:31.079 --> 00:45:36.119
true. So I played it at
the event about eight hours. Yeah,

750
00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:38.119
so I've already played that game on
PC. Is there any reason for me

751
00:45:38.119 --> 00:45:40.800
to check out the XDLA version?
It's still an awesome game, Yeah,

752
00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:45.400
there's that. So there's that.
I have bought Plans Versus Zombies like four

753
00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:50.079
times at this point. So freaking
freaking Torchlight man. Like I you know,

754
00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:52.920
they sent it to us early to
cover it, and I was like,

755
00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:55.559
all right, I'll try this to
see how the porch job is basically

756
00:45:55.639 --> 00:45:58.480
right. Yeah, I was like, all right, I spent like twenty

757
00:45:58.480 --> 00:46:00.639
hours on the PC already. I
just need to how they did this,

758
00:46:00.719 --> 00:46:04.400
and I'm good. Like five hours
later for me, it was more like

759
00:46:04.519 --> 00:46:07.480
seven. You play like, it's
so easy to get stuck right back,

760
00:46:07.679 --> 00:46:10.199
Like I downloaded on Sunday and we're
just like, oh, let's see what's

761
00:46:10.280 --> 00:46:15.079
up. Oh God, it's five
thirty and I need to be someplace at

762
00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:19.760
six and yeah, I am nude
from below the ways this is not going

763
00:46:19.840 --> 00:46:21.960
to work out. I don't even
like those kind of games, Like,

764
00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:24.599
I'm not a Diablo style player.
I'm not into those. And I dropped

765
00:46:24.639 --> 00:46:29.239
about ten hours on that game without
even thinking about it, and it really

766
00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:32.159
I kind of missed the mod support. There was some fun stuff you could

767
00:46:32.159 --> 00:46:37.519
do on the PC version with that. Some some of the menus and controller

768
00:46:37.840 --> 00:46:40.400
like the menu control issues are a
little annoying. I suspect it's one of

769
00:46:40.440 --> 00:46:43.599
those things that if you've spent a
lot of time with the PC version you

770
00:46:43.599 --> 00:46:46.280
will be more likely to notice.
I think that's stuff. Yeah, but

771
00:46:46.719 --> 00:46:52.280
have they have they announced any kind
of release window for Torchlight two of this

772
00:46:52.360 --> 00:46:54.239
year, but then they said they
had pushed it. Oh they said that

773
00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:59.400
that's the new day. Okay,
so yeah, that's that is pretty soon.

774
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:01.360
Yeah, the game needs co op. I want to play that with

775
00:47:01.360 --> 00:47:06.119
other people. And totally a new
Diablo is still in the See my awesome

776
00:47:06.119 --> 00:47:08.000
glowing sword. Check out what I
got? Yeah, what good is lute?

777
00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:10.559
If you can't show it? That
is kind of the thing. Yeah,

778
00:47:10.679 --> 00:47:15.400
yeah, definitely, Yeah, Diablo
three is still just whenever, right,

779
00:47:16.960 --> 00:47:22.039
Yeah, there was some earnings thing
or something that implied they were shooting

780
00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:25.000
for this year. Yeah, I
remember that wasn't guaranteed. Ye. Yeah,

781
00:47:25.039 --> 00:47:28.400
they've quickly followed up. They're like, like, I wandered to make

782
00:47:28.480 --> 00:47:30.599
this game till it's fun. I
wonder if we'd see it like a torch

783
00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:34.440
like three or four by the time
even comes out. It happened. Well,

784
00:47:34.480 --> 00:47:37.840
I mean, Runick had that plan
to go from Torchlight to that like

785
00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:40.360
free to play MMO based on torch
Light, and they made so much money

786
00:47:40.360 --> 00:47:44.079
on that it was like crazy not
to just make another one. But that's

787
00:47:44.079 --> 00:47:47.519
supposed to still be coming down the
line, so all right. Yeah,

788
00:47:47.679 --> 00:47:51.679
but even but even this one,
they're saying like multiple towns connected by an

789
00:47:51.679 --> 00:47:55.679
overworld and like quest spawning off of
all the towns and like like like Diablo

790
00:47:55.760 --> 00:47:59.239
two. Yeah, but it's basically
Diablo. It is Debo. It's it's

791
00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:02.039
absolutely like I think they're basically straight
up saying this is our Diablo two to

792
00:48:02.159 --> 00:48:06.960
Diablo. Great, you duds are
about to make me play torchlinel over it.

793
00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:08.360
You know, it was not a
game Diablo two. It was pretty

794
00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:13.320
good, so great some of those
guys made it, So I think you

795
00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:15.679
can get away with this. Yeah, probably one of the few they can.

796
00:48:15.760 --> 00:48:19.199
All Right, So that's it for
that. Let's talk about some news.

797
00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:22.159
Wait, we're gonna talk about showcase
stuff. Yeah, that can be

798
00:48:22.199 --> 00:48:27.679
part of that. I want to
hear about showcase stuff breaking news. Microsoft

799
00:48:27.800 --> 00:48:32.119
had its February Games showcase in San
Francisco, California, last week, and

800
00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:36.599
me and Brad and Drew went over
there, like I said, and then

801
00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:38.280
the night before they had Gears of
War three focused thing. I was like

802
00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:40.519
Ryan, Ryan went to that.
I think that's where we must have picked

803
00:48:40.599 --> 00:48:45.840
up our flu whatever whatever viruses is
propagating the beginnings of the nerd virus.

804
00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:49.800
I mean, like half the people
there were walking around talking like they were

805
00:48:49.800 --> 00:48:52.639
sick or had been sick, and
yet you're still shaking their hands and there's

806
00:48:52.639 --> 00:48:57.760
all this finger food going around on
trees. Let's cut half our GDC appointments

807
00:48:57.760 --> 00:49:00.039
and just go to like the two
that we're really actually see for super super

808
00:49:00.079 --> 00:49:04.119
excited about. That sounds cool,
and the ones that have the most hand

809
00:49:04.159 --> 00:49:07.760
sanitizer. So what what did you
did you see? You guys can talk

810
00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:12.639
all about this stuff. Yeah,
uh s, Gears of War multiplayer.

811
00:49:12.679 --> 00:49:14.639
Huh, yeah, so I played
some of that. I guess they were

812
00:49:14.639 --> 00:49:16.840
showing off different modes later at night, because Will went for the reception that

813
00:49:16.920 --> 00:49:22.119
we're having that evening and he played
something that he described as like Oddball mixed

814
00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:23.440
with King of the Hill. I
think, I don't know if that's a

815
00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:28.800
mode or if that's a specific map, because there's a what's the what's the

816
00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:32.320
coltranes? Like fake football sport?
Oh, it's a thrash ball thrash ball,

817
00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:36.159
Yeah. One of the maps is
that, like a thrashball arena crazy.

818
00:49:36.199 --> 00:49:37.679
So I don't know if those I
don't know if those mechanics that he's

819
00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:42.039
talking about are incorporated just into that
map, or it's actually a mode that

820
00:49:42.039 --> 00:49:49.599
works against Like do you think there
is a there is a thrash ball outline?

821
00:49:49.639 --> 00:49:52.159
No, No, not even a
mini game. Just somebody knows how

822
00:49:52.239 --> 00:49:55.840
thrashball works over the football. It's
it's the XFL. Yeah, have they

823
00:49:55.840 --> 00:50:00.159
showed anything. Put they put the
football at the fifty yard line to and

824
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:01.599
then guys have to run and get
it at the beginning, and they have

825
00:50:01.800 --> 00:50:05.760
a string that goes across the field
and camera that shoots from the s and

826
00:50:05.800 --> 00:50:07.639
Jesse though even Tour is there.
Yeah, you don't think anything explodes.

827
00:50:10.280 --> 00:50:15.440
It's not cyberball, no exploding balls, just the cheerleaders. Yeah, uh

828
00:50:15.639 --> 00:50:20.400
no, because I thought that they
had, like because the the Terry Tate

829
00:50:20.559 --> 00:50:24.199
guy, the dude was at the
event, saw him. Yeah, he's

830
00:50:24.239 --> 00:50:29.000
a large man. And then didn't
they have like pictures of Coal in his

831
00:50:29.079 --> 00:50:34.079
thrash Ball uniform and like Pete players
in the game wearing football helmets and stuff

832
00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:36.880
like that. Maybe what Ryan was
saying he saw, So I didn't see

833
00:50:36.920 --> 00:50:40.039
anything. Everybody wears shoulder pads in
that universe. That's how you know the

834
00:50:40.039 --> 00:50:45.000
bold Storm is not there. Because
yeah, so when I when I played

835
00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:46.400
it, it was it was team
death match on a map called Old Town.

836
00:50:46.440 --> 00:50:49.800
And this looks like them getting ready
for the beta. They're still doing

837
00:50:49.840 --> 00:50:52.400
some kind of Facebook voting thing to
determine what maps will be available in that,

838
00:50:52.440 --> 00:50:57.639
I guess. And it's team death
match, but you have limited response.

839
00:50:57.639 --> 00:51:00.920
It's kind of a ticket style system
where you get like fifteen spawns per

840
00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:04.480
team, uh, and then you
know you run out and you'll lose.

841
00:51:05.280 --> 00:51:08.840
Uh. And it's you're able to
play as the locust on one side Yeah,

842
00:51:08.840 --> 00:51:12.320
one side is the just you know, kind of as before, So

843
00:51:13.079 --> 00:51:15.519
I'm just kind of jumping the gun
here, sorry, but yeah, did

844
00:51:15.519 --> 00:51:20.039
you get to see any new character
types or anything on the totally in it

845
00:51:20.320 --> 00:51:23.400
for the bad dudes anything? Uh? You know, I didn't get a

846
00:51:23.400 --> 00:51:25.960
good close look at them because I
was kind of shooting them from a distance.

847
00:51:27.079 --> 00:51:29.599
Lamb or Chane song them, No, they were not Lamb It.

848
00:51:29.639 --> 00:51:32.639
It's kind of curious with with Snuck
Under the multiplayer single players, right right,

849
00:51:34.360 --> 00:51:37.119
They're definitely multiple types of locusts in
there that you know that didn't all

850
00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:40.599
look one hundred percent familiar, but
none that I would call out and describe

851
00:51:40.679 --> 00:51:45.159
to you. Now, Okay that
they because they were so crazy or anything

852
00:51:45.199 --> 00:51:47.920
like that, but uh, they're
doing some interesting stuff kind of out of

853
00:51:47.960 --> 00:51:53.599
game or or out of out of
map in that so between spawns, you

854
00:51:53.639 --> 00:51:58.559
can kind of pop up an overhead
map, uh, like a drawn map

855
00:51:58.679 --> 00:52:00.800
that shows you kind of cons of
where people are at any given time and

856
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:05.880
where the weapons are. And when
you're between spawns, you can also set

857
00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:08.119
your secondary weapons or your primary and
your secondary actually, so you have your

858
00:52:08.119 --> 00:52:12.880
smoke grenade, your pistol, but
then you can decide if you want the

859
00:52:12.960 --> 00:52:15.039
Lancer or they had a retro lancer
which instead of a chainsaw, look like

860
00:52:15.039 --> 00:52:19.960
it had a big old night blade
thing on it. And then there was

861
00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:23.159
the hammer Burst rifle, which was
your other option there. All the radicals

862
00:52:23.199 --> 00:52:28.360
have been redone. They look pretty
nice. Minor change, but and then

863
00:52:28.400 --> 00:52:32.280
secondary weapons. They had the regular
shotgun and then a sawed off shotgun that,

864
00:52:32.440 --> 00:52:36.000
like the radical, was gigantic.
It was just like, get up

865
00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:38.000
in a dude's face and pull the
trigger and he will explode. But if

866
00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:40.360
you were not up into dude's face, you do, this is a huge

867
00:52:40.360 --> 00:52:45.440
waste of time. Yeah, and
beyond that, I played like Gears had

868
00:52:45.519 --> 00:52:50.440
the same kind of pop out like
achievement progress type stuff, but it looked

869
00:52:50.440 --> 00:52:54.280
like you were actually working towards unlocking
things for a multiplayer as well. So

870
00:52:54.400 --> 00:52:59.400
like, uh, you know,
I ran up and did like a melee

871
00:52:59.480 --> 00:53:01.440
kill with the hammer Burst, and
it like a little thing popped out and

872
00:53:01.480 --> 00:53:07.800
said, do thirty of these to
unlock the weapons specific execution. Oh oh,

873
00:53:07.880 --> 00:53:12.360
so you're unlocking everything or it seemed
like you were just crossing over right,

874
00:53:12.440 --> 00:53:15.079
Okay, so well, I mean
not necessarily crossing over, but it

875
00:53:15.079 --> 00:53:16.559
seemed like, you know, if
you want to do the big executions and

876
00:53:16.639 --> 00:53:20.639
multiplayer, you're gonna have to do
some a bunch of lamee looking ones first

877
00:53:20.760 --> 00:53:22.039
or something like that that. I
wonder if that's all just cosmetic though.

878
00:53:22.079 --> 00:53:24.559
I mean, we're not talking about
a call of duty perks here, right,

879
00:53:24.719 --> 00:53:28.119
No, no, no, no, no, no load out changes

880
00:53:28.199 --> 00:53:30.119
or anything. Well, I imagine
you'll unlock additional weapons because you know,

881
00:53:30.159 --> 00:53:34.840
you only had access to you know, three assault rifles and two shotguns.

882
00:53:34.880 --> 00:53:37.719
I mean there's plenty of other weapons
and in the Gears of Verse. Yeah,

883
00:53:37.719 --> 00:53:39.639
but most of those stuff spawns on
the map as opposed to you know,

884
00:53:40.400 --> 00:53:45.400
bring that stuff in with you,
right, Yeah, that's true on

885
00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:46.480
the map and stuff like that too. So it could have been stuff that

886
00:53:46.480 --> 00:53:51.440
they for the beta. They're right, not hard hard to say how that

887
00:53:51.480 --> 00:53:54.360
progression will will work if the Jenica
there is a meaningful one, but we'll

888
00:53:54.360 --> 00:53:59.039
find out soon. I think they
announced April beta for April. Yeah,

889
00:53:59.239 --> 00:54:04.039
so just to hit like what September
release wise? Yeah, yeah, the

890
00:54:04.079 --> 00:54:08.159
old Halo dates, yeah right,
yeah exactly. So uh, it's a

891
00:54:08.199 --> 00:54:14.280
pretty pretty gray pretty gears, no, a little more colorful really, like

892
00:54:14.320 --> 00:54:16.480
the one map kind of like bullets. Yeah, they had they added some

893
00:54:16.599 --> 00:54:22.840
brown, some orange, like the
color pell bull Storm is a predominantly orange

894
00:54:22.840 --> 00:54:24.119
game in my mind. I don't
know if that anybody else, right,

895
00:54:24.199 --> 00:54:28.400
the Bulletstorm is it's like orange,
and you can come to think of it

896
00:54:28.480 --> 00:54:31.199
like every movie poster on the planet. It's like orange basically orange and blue

897
00:54:31.559 --> 00:54:36.159
and orange. Ye. So really, so what you guys are playing wasn't

898
00:54:36.199 --> 00:54:39.760
just overcast like weird. Yeah,
it was sunny and broad broaden the color

899
00:54:39.800 --> 00:54:44.119
pellet a little bit insane. Yeah. Wow, I don't want to see,

900
00:54:44.679 --> 00:54:47.400
you know, Marcus under any kind
of natural light. Just I just

901
00:54:47.400 --> 00:54:52.000
wanted to put his damn sleeves back
on, put a fucking shirt on,

902
00:54:52.119 --> 00:54:54.280
like you don't. The sun is
out, it's hot. On. Something

903
00:54:54.360 --> 00:55:00.280
looks wrong about what they've done to
those those armor suits that I can't like

904
00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:02.360
it. Those armor suits never looked
very right to be getting one of them.

905
00:55:02.440 --> 00:55:07.519
Is a lady, That one I'm
okay with? All right? Yeah,

906
00:55:07.519 --> 00:55:12.159
so Gears was there, Batman Arkham
City was there. Yeah, that

907
00:55:12.280 --> 00:55:15.760
was the one that you guys could
not stop like being excited about when you

908
00:55:15.800 --> 00:55:17.159
walked in. I mean, they
weren't letting people play it there. They

909
00:55:17.199 --> 00:55:21.360
were playing it kind of in front
of people on a twenty minute loop.

910
00:55:21.599 --> 00:55:25.719
And yeah, dude, yeah,
that game looks to be the real deal.

911
00:55:27.119 --> 00:55:29.960
Sounds hot. That game is not
the same game put out again.

912
00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:35.679
That game looks like the same mechanics
applied to a much larger space, with

913
00:55:35.960 --> 00:55:42.199
new mechanics in place to make that
space meaningful. Did you notice a lot

914
00:55:42.239 --> 00:55:44.639
of different stuff about Detective Vision.
It seems like that's one of the things

915
00:55:44.639 --> 00:55:46.599
they've been saying, is like that
they know that people have been relying on

916
00:55:46.639 --> 00:55:50.000
it too much and they want to
try to avoid that. But I was

917
00:55:50.000 --> 00:55:52.119
trying to remember was whether you could
use the tectivision and the third person you

918
00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:55.639
when I asked you right after you
said that it was only first person because

919
00:55:55.719 --> 00:55:59.039
let's wear in that demo. Yeah, you could only use it in first

920
00:55:59.079 --> 00:56:01.920
person, because so you could do
it in the third person the first time,

921
00:56:02.000 --> 00:56:05.360
right, because that's why they were
complaining it. But just played the

922
00:56:05.360 --> 00:56:07.599
whole game, I'm like, yer, you could, yeah, pretty sure.

923
00:56:07.800 --> 00:56:10.840
It looked like it was just first
person though, and like you couldn't

924
00:56:10.840 --> 00:56:15.599
move, you just had look control. I think you could. You could

925
00:56:15.639 --> 00:56:16.920
move because there were times when he
would pop it on before he would go

926
00:56:16.920 --> 00:56:19.920
through like a big set of double
doors, and it's like, oh shit,

927
00:56:20.000 --> 00:56:23.760
there's five guys will end up.
But I don't think they're intending for

928
00:56:23.800 --> 00:56:29.440
you to like leave it all like
conduct full like stealth sequences or like like

929
00:56:29.480 --> 00:56:31.960
whole combat cycles with the with the
tect division on. Do you think that's

930
00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:36.320
sort of like an indicative of the
more open nature of the game, like

931
00:56:36.360 --> 00:56:40.719
it's it's less specifically, I think
that it's hopefully indicative that the game is

932
00:56:40.719 --> 00:56:44.719
not going to be designed to hide
a lot of secrets around that you can

933
00:56:44.760 --> 00:56:47.000
only see with Detective turned on.
Like that was the thing is you have

934
00:56:47.079 --> 00:56:51.760
people that wanted to they wanted to
find every last thing, and to do

935
00:56:51.800 --> 00:56:53.679
that, you pretty much had to
leave that thing on at all time pretty

936
00:56:53.719 --> 00:56:58.280
much. Yeah, but you know, there's a cool sequence where they show

937
00:56:58.480 --> 00:57:01.760
like the exploding wall or the the
breakaway wall icon on a wall, but

938
00:57:01.840 --> 00:57:05.360
instead of doing the explosive gel,
you just run up and hit the Y

939
00:57:05.440 --> 00:57:09.760
button, punches through and knocks the
dude out like RoboCop style. That was

940
00:57:09.760 --> 00:57:15.039
a pretty good that's pretty pretty pretty
amazing Stulls Crime scenes and stuff like that,

941
00:57:15.079 --> 00:57:16.800
where it'll be like detective vision,
like I'm gonna scan this gun for

942
00:57:16.880 --> 00:57:22.679
fingerprints. The forensic stuff seems to
have become a lot more situational as opposed

943
00:57:22.679 --> 00:57:24.760
to last time it was like pop
detectivision. And then follow this bread comb

944
00:57:24.880 --> 00:57:29.599
breadcrumb trail of like scent clouds right
out of the hole. And you know

945
00:57:29.719 --> 00:57:31.679
the one. I mean it could
still have that, I could still be

946
00:57:31.719 --> 00:57:34.239
in there. But the one we
saw was like, you know, a

947
00:57:34.280 --> 00:57:37.320
sniper shot had been taken through a
window, and it was like, find

948
00:57:37.320 --> 00:57:38.719
the two pieces of evidence that are
actually relevant here, and it was the

949
00:57:38.719 --> 00:57:43.320
bullet hole in the window and the
impact point on the floor. And then

950
00:57:43.480 --> 00:57:45.920
as soon as you do that,
it full It goes full on CSI,

951
00:57:45.360 --> 00:57:51.079
like draw a laser like like restruct
the trajectory the bullet and like flies like

952
00:57:51.159 --> 00:57:54.280
through the window, across the alleyway
and like into the tower that the shot

953
00:57:54.360 --> 00:57:58.039
came from. So that gives you
the indication like, Okay, now I

954
00:57:58.079 --> 00:58:00.360
need to get to the tip of
that, just like your objective rolls over

955
00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:02.840
and it's like to to the top
of the tower. So it's awesome.

956
00:58:02.880 --> 00:58:07.760
Why is CSI Batman not a show. I want that. Yeah, I

957
00:58:07.800 --> 00:58:13.599
want that really hard. Yeah.
Yes, William Peterson and Batman solving crimes

958
00:58:13.880 --> 00:58:15.519
is Batman, dude? Yes,
that's where he went. That's why he

959
00:58:15.599 --> 00:58:20.199
left CSI Las Vegas to go be
Batman. That would be amazing. Yep,

960
00:58:20.920 --> 00:58:23.840
sorry Betty Glad, No, no, my train is too chooed out

961
00:58:23.880 --> 00:58:28.840
of here. Uh I was gonna
all right, so the city? All

962
00:58:28.880 --> 00:58:32.480
right? So Arkham City is that? Yes? Uh so did it seem

963
00:58:32.599 --> 00:58:36.960
like it's an open world game or
is it more like a hub with like

964
00:58:37.039 --> 00:58:39.199
instances inside buildings? And it seems
definitely like an open world game. Well

965
00:58:39.199 --> 00:58:42.719
it's open world and that you can
go anywhere. Yeah, but no,

966
00:58:42.719 --> 00:58:45.639
no Batman, and you're not like
carjacking. It didn't. I didn't see

967
00:58:45.639 --> 00:58:51.679
any vehicles when you just fly,
so he's got like the And also everything

968
00:58:51.679 --> 00:58:53.679
looks like an alley that we saw, like you wouldn't want to drive cars

969
00:58:53.679 --> 00:58:58.880
in these streets. That sounds like
Gotham. Yeah, it's and like is

970
00:58:58.880 --> 00:59:02.840
it supposed to be? Uh I'm
kind of I'm just look confused on the

971
00:59:02.840 --> 00:59:07.280
story beats, like, is it's
right after Asylum or I don't think we

972
00:59:08.599 --> 00:59:14.320
Who's fucked up at the asylum after
putting every single criminal back behind bars,

973
00:59:14.400 --> 00:59:16.519
like yep, sewed up the prison. It's like, no, actually everybody's

974
00:59:16.559 --> 00:59:20.159
back, Joker's out there. But
other than that, like, I don't

975
00:59:20.159 --> 00:59:22.599
think we got a sense that a
ton of the villains from the first one

976
00:59:22.679 --> 00:59:24.960
or loose well, which characters that
they show to face cat Woman Face,

977
00:59:25.079 --> 00:59:29.440
cat Woman Rider, Riddler is like
to be out there. Riddler is like

978
00:59:29.480 --> 00:59:31.559
a player in the story this time. It's not just dropping stuff ever,

979
00:59:31.679 --> 00:59:35.800
trophies or whatever, though there is
that as well. Definitely out there.

980
00:59:36.599 --> 00:59:39.119
But yeah, so the frequencies you
have to tune into and stuff. So

981
00:59:39.320 --> 00:59:43.960
one of the last things they showed
was this billboard that had you know,

982
00:59:43.960 --> 00:59:46.599
like Riddler colored writing on it that
says, you know, tuned to these

983
00:59:46.639 --> 00:59:51.199
frequencies you have like your your whatever, your door hacking device from the first

984
00:59:51.199 --> 01:00:00.679
game also scanner manually manly tun but
like locations and and that sort of stuff,

985
01:00:00.679 --> 01:00:02.480
and put the frequency on the back
of the game. Yeah, I

986
01:00:02.519 --> 01:00:06.039
almost feel like they should just do
that. They should put a frequency on

987
01:00:06.079 --> 01:00:08.519
the back of the box that the
Riddler stuff be tied of that somehow.

988
01:00:09.440 --> 01:00:14.039
But it did not feel like open
World Jank, Well, well, it's

989
01:00:14.039 --> 01:00:16.440
not open world in the sense that
there are quest givers everywhere with like exclamation

990
01:00:16.480 --> 01:00:20.440
marks over their heads. You know. I don't think it's like GTA yeah

991
01:00:20.519 --> 01:00:22.719
or Infamous or something. I think
it's I think it seemed to me that's

992
01:00:22.719 --> 01:00:24.960
more like the first game, where
you only have one objective than any given

993
01:00:24.960 --> 01:00:28.840
time, and like that's the story, and there's a bunch of side stuff

994
01:00:28.840 --> 01:00:31.599
that's gonna be kind of everywhere,
but it'll be thematic side stuff, like

995
01:00:31.760 --> 01:00:35.320
you know, here's a guy getting
mugged. Well, it seems like the

996
01:00:35.360 --> 01:00:38.039
closest analog would be the Spider Man
games, wouldn't it, because like that

997
01:00:38.079 --> 01:00:42.320
was sort of like open World.
There was usually very specific story missions you

998
01:00:42.320 --> 01:00:44.440
had to do, but then there
was that side stuff floating around and most

999
01:00:44.440 --> 01:00:46.039
of you were just like darting around
the city website. Yeah. Maybe,

1000
01:00:46.119 --> 01:00:51.800
yeah, but I'll say this looks
a lot better. That's I totally don't

1001
01:00:51.840 --> 01:00:53.039
doubt that one bit. I'm just
saying it's like it just in terms of

1002
01:00:53.079 --> 01:00:55.400
structure, it seems like it's maybe
going for more of that kind of thing.

1003
01:00:55.559 --> 01:01:00.320
Just the flight mechanics so you can't
climb to the top of the building

1004
01:01:00.320 --> 01:01:02.599
and just jump off and glide.
The gargoyles everywhere, even outside the city,

1005
01:01:02.840 --> 01:01:07.440
like on every every other building has
a gargoyle on it. That seems

1006
01:01:07.440 --> 01:01:09.920
reasonable you can still do that stuff. But I mean it seems like anytime

1007
01:01:09.960 --> 01:01:13.920
you were in the air you could
just pop the glider. Yeah, and

1008
01:01:13.920 --> 01:01:16.320
and basically like you know, people
were the guy was like back clawing to

1009
01:01:16.360 --> 01:01:21.519
a building and then letting go out
his assent and us to just yeah,

1010
01:01:21.559 --> 01:01:23.480
basically just get a bunch of height
and then glide. And then when you're

1011
01:01:23.639 --> 01:01:27.159
when you're gliding, you can go
to like a dive bomb and then pull

1012
01:01:27.159 --> 01:01:30.159
out of it like pilot wing style
to get right, right, right,

1013
01:01:30.199 --> 01:01:34.039
and and continue gliding. Seems it
seemed like really maneuverable, and you can

1014
01:01:34.079 --> 01:01:36.559
go straight into combat from that.
You know, you can be can flying

1015
01:01:36.599 --> 01:01:39.119
along and like targeting guy on a
guy. Like first they're all guys just

1016
01:01:39.280 --> 01:01:44.119
on the street. Yeah, they're
still over the place. Are there civilians

1017
01:01:45.440 --> 01:01:47.320
and there are people that you're trying
to save. Okay, but it's not

1018
01:01:47.400 --> 01:01:52.800
like a populated there's just people everywhere. It's night time. Yeah, I

1019
01:01:52.800 --> 01:01:54.840
think it's always nice. I imagine
there's always night time. Yeah, the

1020
01:01:54.920 --> 01:01:58.320
hell's batman go and do during the
day. If it's like the first game

1021
01:01:58.360 --> 01:02:00.679
and it's yeah, I take place
over a single night. I like that

1022
01:02:00.719 --> 01:02:06.840
about the first Yeah, definitely up. Yeah, so you guys are sad.

1023
01:02:06.960 --> 01:02:09.880
Yeah. The fighting looks very similar
conceptually, but the animation on it

1024
01:02:09.920 --> 01:02:13.599
I thought looked a lot nicer.
Yeah. I added a lot of stuff

1025
01:02:13.639 --> 01:02:15.480
like there are times when two guys
will try to attack you and you can

1026
01:02:15.559 --> 01:02:17.760
like a block and counter both of
them at the same time. Wow,

1027
01:02:19.039 --> 01:02:22.960
and stuff like that. What was
that extreme combat move that they showed at

1028
01:02:22.960 --> 01:02:25.639
the end beat down? Yeah,
you just you start basically you go from

1029
01:02:25.679 --> 01:02:30.320
like a kick into like you start
with a front kick and then you can

1030
01:02:30.400 --> 01:02:37.199
combo that into this beat down and
it's just like, dude, that doesn't

1031
01:02:37.280 --> 01:02:43.760
kill guys. It's real close.
Yeah, that was real cool. I

1032
01:02:43.840 --> 01:02:46.320
still think Arkham Stylum has the best
melee combat in history. I think it's

1033
01:02:46.880 --> 01:02:51.880
brilliant. It was fun, It
was real fluid, yeah, because it

1034
01:02:51.880 --> 01:02:53.440
almost turns into a puzzle at some
point. It's not even There was one

1035
01:02:53.440 --> 01:02:58.280
spot where there's a guy who's a
riddler informant in a cluster of dudes,

1036
01:02:58.639 --> 01:03:00.519
and basically you get down there and
they're all trying to attack you, but

1037
01:03:00.559 --> 01:03:04.599
you need to make sure he's the
last one standing so you can interrogate him

1038
01:03:04.679 --> 01:03:07.840
because you don't want to knock him
unconscious, right, which I thought was

1039
01:03:07.880 --> 01:03:10.760
kind of a neat thing, because
you know, he's he's trying to attack

1040
01:03:10.800 --> 01:03:14.760
you, just the same as the
other guys, you know, but you

1041
01:03:14.800 --> 01:03:16.800
have to very carefully like try to
jump over him or you know, roll

1042
01:03:16.840 --> 01:03:19.960
over him to hit the guys on
the other side of him and stuff like

1043
01:03:19.960 --> 01:03:23.199
that, which was kind of kind
of clever, fascinating, some connect stuff.

1044
01:03:23.280 --> 01:03:29.320
Guns Stringer, the guns stringer,
Alex Navarro's the guns stringer. Let's

1045
01:03:29.519 --> 01:03:31.639
no, not even close. No, I don't know your name was the

1046
01:03:31.679 --> 01:03:38.400
only name I saw on it.
So terrifying. Yeah, that so should

1047
01:03:38.400 --> 01:03:42.840
we just say what my involvement with
that game is. Yeah, So that

1048
01:03:42.880 --> 01:03:45.719
game uses a grading structure. I
don't even know if they've talked about this

1049
01:03:45.840 --> 01:03:49.239
yet, but there's like a grading
structure in that game where at the end

1050
01:03:49.280 --> 01:03:52.559
of each level they give you like
a critic quote or something like like it's

1051
01:03:52.599 --> 01:03:54.639
term like a news because it's presented
like a puppet show. The whole thing

1052
01:03:54.679 --> 01:03:58.480
has like a big theatrical motif,
right, And so the idea would be

1053
01:03:58.519 --> 01:04:01.360
that there is like a quote at
the and from like a newspaper critic or

1054
01:04:01.360 --> 01:04:04.239
something that was judging the show,
and that's that's it relates to how well

1055
01:04:04.280 --> 01:04:06.960
you did, and also like if
you beat other people on the leaderboards or

1056
01:04:08.000 --> 01:04:12.440
something. And a good friend of
mine, Dan Tisdale, who used to

1057
01:04:12.440 --> 01:04:15.079
work at Harmonics U, is now
the lead designer in that game, and

1058
01:04:15.119 --> 01:04:17.199
he was just like, hey,
you write about stuff. Do you want

1059
01:04:17.199 --> 01:04:19.280
to just like send some quotes in
I was like, yeah, I'm sure,

1060
01:04:19.599 --> 01:04:21.599
So I sent him some quotes and
I think those might end up in

1061
01:04:21.639 --> 01:04:27.280
the game. I don't know have
in fact in a preliminary build of the

1062
01:04:27.280 --> 01:04:30.639
case, Okay, did any of
mine pop up? Yeah? Okay,

1063
01:04:30.840 --> 01:04:33.000
that's all I saw. Really,
I wonder if I'm actually the only one

1064
01:04:33.000 --> 01:04:36.280
who submitted any He said he was
going to go to multiple people, but

1065
01:04:36.320 --> 01:04:41.840
maybe he just tricked me and I'm
the only one who did it. How

1066
01:04:41.960 --> 01:04:45.400
was it playing? It's early,
but it looks promising. Like basically you're

1067
01:04:45.480 --> 01:04:49.360
kind of using your left hand to
move the gun stringer around and that's almost

1068
01:04:49.400 --> 01:04:54.239
like you're working the marionette side of
things. Jerk your left hand up to

1069
01:04:54.239 --> 01:04:56.239
make him jump, move it left
and right to make him move left and

1070
01:04:56.320 --> 01:04:59.559
right. And then your right hand
is your gun hand, and that you're

1071
01:04:59.559 --> 01:05:02.119
moving the on screen radical around to
kind of paint targets. You can paint

1072
01:05:02.159 --> 01:05:05.880
up to six and then you you
know, throw your arm back like you're

1073
01:05:05.920 --> 01:05:11.280
like a recoil of a pistol,
and it'll and it'll nail everybody you've painted.

1074
01:05:12.039 --> 01:05:15.079
That's kind Yeah, it works pretty
well. I mean it is a

1075
01:05:15.119 --> 01:05:17.719
little early, so the control's not
maybe as high as it hopefully will be,

1076
01:05:17.760 --> 01:05:19.920
and that they've said as much.
When we were talking to them about

1077
01:05:19.920 --> 01:05:26.480
it. I thought it looks I
thought it looked pretty cool art style school

1078
01:05:26.480 --> 01:05:29.840
and it. Yeah, and a
lot of FMV in that game. In

1079
01:05:29.880 --> 01:05:32.960
case you were worried, they just
wet bearded men at the beginning of that

1080
01:05:33.039 --> 01:05:39.480
game, like like shirtless. Yeah, wet bearded and a theater's full of

1081
01:05:39.480 --> 01:05:42.800
people standing up and cheering and stuff
like that. When you complete levels and

1082
01:05:43.400 --> 01:05:47.039
you know, big FMV hands coming
down and pushing boulders at you. Wow,

1083
01:05:47.119 --> 01:05:50.639
like polygonal boulders, which was kind
of a neat little effect, but

1084
01:05:51.440 --> 01:05:56.679
uh cool. I told those guys
they should make night Trap, and they

1085
01:05:56.679 --> 01:06:00.880
said that would be a good idea. Well, if anyone's gonna do it,

1086
01:06:00.920 --> 01:06:03.880
I mean who else at this point, that's my only other tell tale.

1087
01:06:04.440 --> 01:06:08.599
No, they have like seventeen other
properties they're working on. They don't

1088
01:06:08.639 --> 01:06:12.000
have time for for night Trap.
Yeah, exactly, that looked pretty neat.

1089
01:06:12.039 --> 01:06:14.679
Child of Eden was there, Yeah, we took a look at that.

1090
01:06:14.679 --> 01:06:16.000
That looks like it's coming along.
Did you get a chance to play

1091
01:06:16.039 --> 01:06:18.079
that? I did not. I
didn't either, but just watching people play

1092
01:06:18.119 --> 01:06:21.079
it, just you could tell them
the correspondence of someone's hand to the screen,

1093
01:06:21.199 --> 01:06:24.320
it seems to have been tightened up
quite a bit. Yeah, I

1094
01:06:24.360 --> 01:06:27.480
think it looks really great. Yeah. Cool. You know if those games

1095
01:06:27.519 --> 01:06:30.760
come out soon ish, like I'm
by that, I mean, like this

1096
01:06:30.840 --> 01:06:34.639
year, everybody who has a Connect
is just gonna buy those. They're just

1097
01:06:34.679 --> 01:06:38.719
they're they're both coming out of the
Gunstringer is a downloadable game. Yeah,

1098
01:06:38.800 --> 01:06:43.199
and is that slated soon? Is
that it? I thought they said like

1099
01:06:43.280 --> 01:06:46.039
summer or something might be It might
be right, because I know the build

1100
01:06:46.039 --> 01:06:49.039
actually just said coming twenty eleven.
That's definitely this year, and Child of

1101
01:06:49.159 --> 01:06:53.360
Eden seems like it's like close to
done because it's like those are the only

1102
01:06:53.440 --> 01:06:58.679
two Connect games really that I've I've
heard of coming out this year, And

1103
01:06:58.760 --> 01:07:00.599
yeah, what else are they even
talking about? I don't want to tell

1104
01:07:00.599 --> 01:07:02.960
you about Sesame Street once? Oh
yeah, yeah, I forgot that was

1105
01:07:03.000 --> 01:07:06.840
for Connect, doesn't that? Yeah, which we played. Yeah, it's

1106
01:07:06.920 --> 01:07:11.199
pretty fun. It looks fun.
It just I mean it's extremely simplistic.

1107
01:07:11.239 --> 01:07:14.960
You know, it's it's for kids. It's an interactive story book. At

1108
01:07:14.960 --> 01:07:16.840
no point does it scream at you
about the bookcase though, So it's not.

1109
01:07:16.920 --> 01:07:20.400
It's not the best interactive story right, I've seen some interactive story books.

1110
01:07:20.719 --> 01:07:24.719
No, it's like, you know, every page of the book is

1111
01:07:24.760 --> 01:07:27.199
a different kind of mini game thing, so you're kind of working your way

1112
01:07:27.199 --> 01:07:29.559
through it, and they're gonna be
played alone or with two players, so

1113
01:07:29.679 --> 01:07:31.840
you know, parent a kid style
thing. So like, what are you

1114
01:07:31.880 --> 01:07:35.280
doing Connect wise with it? You're
ducking, You're dancing, Okay, So

1115
01:07:35.320 --> 01:07:40.440
it's a stand up game for sure. Jump Yeah, yeah, I thought

1116
01:07:40.440 --> 01:07:45.920
it looked really nice. The thempetology
of it all right is definitely hands right,

1117
01:07:45.960 --> 01:07:47.719
So you know, it's like shaders. Yeah. Actually the Yeah,

1118
01:07:47.719 --> 01:07:50.599
the fur actually does look really nice, and and they do the right stuff

1119
01:07:50.639 --> 01:07:55.239
with the arms on the guys where
it's like the hand is really stiff and

1120
01:07:55.639 --> 01:08:00.440
present and moving, but then the
arm is just failing around completely crazy.

1121
01:08:00.559 --> 01:08:04.679
They've they've been to the Henston Creature
Shop like twice in New York. Huh,

1122
01:08:04.960 --> 01:08:09.960
like studied all the rigging of the
limbs and stuff, the exact physics

1123
01:08:10.000 --> 01:08:14.599
of the googly eyes. The eyes
literally do like rattle around as if they're

1124
01:08:15.039 --> 01:08:17.840
so awesome free floating. Do you
play as a muppet? Are you?

1125
01:08:17.880 --> 01:08:20.640
I'm not that direct, if that's
what you mean. I mean it's literally

1126
01:08:20.800 --> 01:08:26.039
like guys running automatically down a path
and like your jump when a log is

1127
01:08:26.039 --> 01:08:30.119
coming. You know, it's is
it doesn't seem like it's educational. Yeah,

1128
01:08:30.159 --> 01:08:34.199
okay, count a lot. Maybe
not it's educational they talk about.

1129
01:08:34.319 --> 01:08:38.119
Yeah, it's one of the things
they talked about is is it's not necessarily

1130
01:08:38.159 --> 01:08:41.680
about the letters and numbers aspect of
Sesame Street and more about the what does

1131
01:08:41.720 --> 01:08:45.359
it they call it? I don't
know that calls it the whole child curriculum

1132
01:08:45.640 --> 01:08:47.720
branded yet or it's like teaching social
skills or you know, how to read

1133
01:08:47.760 --> 01:08:50.640
feelings of other people, and that's
sort of like how to be a decent

1134
01:08:50.680 --> 01:08:54.319
human sort of stuff. So it's
not like brought to you by the letter

1135
01:08:54.359 --> 01:08:58.319
G for Gears of War three coming
this September. Maybe actually that would be

1136
01:08:58.319 --> 01:09:00.359
the funniest thing that they could do, if yeah, if the end it

1137
01:09:00.359 --> 01:09:03.039
totally did brought to you by this
and this, and it's also Microsoft sponsored

1138
01:09:03.039 --> 01:09:06.479
products. Well, no, it's
Warner Brothers. So it would be Mortal

1139
01:09:06.520 --> 01:09:10.680
Kombat and Batman. There you go, Yeah, you know Mortal Kombat.

1140
01:09:10.920 --> 01:09:16.640
Yeah, brought to you by the
letters M and K. Anything else from

1141
01:09:16.640 --> 01:09:20.359
the shift two was there. Took
a brief look at that. I played

1142
01:09:20.359 --> 01:09:24.720
a little crisis too, but not
enough to really say anything other than the

1143
01:09:24.720 --> 01:09:30.840
three D caught me kind of queasy. God, I mean, that's seemed

1144
01:09:30.840 --> 01:09:32.119
to be the stuff you were most
excited about when you came back, Like

1145
01:09:32.560 --> 01:09:35.720
you were talking a Batman big time. They had the news as Screed Brotherhood

1146
01:09:35.800 --> 01:09:41.399
DLC they did. Then She's disappearance
or whatever it's. They had a new

1147
01:09:41.479 --> 01:09:44.840
dishwasher. Yeah, that's gonna be
in three D side scroll in three D.

1148
01:09:45.079 --> 01:09:47.520
Great vampire smile like a two D
game in three D, which I

1149
01:09:47.840 --> 01:09:51.079
maybe sounds okay, why well,
you know, it gives depths to the

1150
01:09:51.119 --> 01:09:54.399
backgrounds and stuff. I think it's
really cool that there's like, you know,

1151
01:09:54.439 --> 01:09:58.319
this indie developer like super small team
game that that are actually doing it

1152
01:09:58.319 --> 01:10:00.600
in three D. Actually kind of
think that that might ac actually look a

1153
01:10:00.640 --> 01:10:02.920
lot better than most of the three
D three D stuff actually, I mean

1154
01:10:03.159 --> 01:10:06.399
most every game that's been three D
so far as a game that involves you

1155
01:10:06.439 --> 01:10:12.479
moving like into the z plane,
right, it's like driving games and shooters

1156
01:10:12.520 --> 01:10:15.199
and that's it. So there's probably
running into the thing that you are seeing,

1157
01:10:15.279 --> 01:10:16.840
yeah, whereas this is like you
know, you're moving the left and

1158
01:10:16.920 --> 01:10:19.760
right, but you're gonna see like
so there's like ways you can make the

1159
01:10:19.800 --> 01:10:24.000
detail pop that you wouldn't be able
to do too that that's the access stuff.

1160
01:10:24.079 --> 01:10:26.399
They would do some cool stuff there. I mean, how did it

1161
01:10:26.439 --> 01:10:29.119
look. I didn't really it looked
all right, Yeah, it kind of

1162
01:10:29.119 --> 01:10:30.920
looked like the first game. It
looked okay, need art style and stuff.

1163
01:10:30.960 --> 01:10:34.800
I like that very bloody super you
know good hopefully maybe not quite as

1164
01:10:34.800 --> 01:10:39.640
savagely difficult this time. I know
a lot of people complain about the first

1165
01:10:39.680 --> 01:10:42.520
game that way, I'd like to
believe it won't be it's pretty tough.

1166
01:10:42.640 --> 01:10:45.840
Yeah, I'd like to believe it
won't be anything else from that event.

1167
01:10:45.720 --> 01:10:47.760
Yeah, I mean there's stuff everywhere, but I think that was all the

1168
01:10:47.960 --> 01:10:51.880
Yeah, definitely the Bigges stuff.
They the Halo, Matt Path. Look

1169
01:10:51.960 --> 01:10:56.359
at that. It's Fable three PC
and all kinds of stuff, A little

1170
01:10:56.359 --> 01:11:00.159
bit of Windows Phone seven stuff.
Yea. All right, Well, we're

1171
01:11:00.159 --> 01:11:02.319
gonna take a quick break and come
back with the rest of the news.

1172
01:11:03.000 --> 01:11:38.359
Stay tuned. Heard stuff packing material
in season. Yeah, it's like an

1173
01:11:38.359 --> 01:11:42.399
onion flavored packing peedu. Yeah.
All, let's get back to the news.

1174
01:11:42.640 --> 01:11:48.399
Uh, Catherine, it's Sha or
the Sea the Sea with katherin with

1175
01:11:48.439 --> 01:11:55.000
the Sea contains Katherine with a K
and Katherine the c in the game?

1176
01:11:55.439 --> 01:11:59.359
Is Kathy in it? No,
Kathy's not in act that. I don't

1177
01:11:59.399 --> 01:12:04.560
care about this. That game showed
up on game stops database with the July

1178
01:12:04.760 --> 01:12:13.960
release date and was pulled down.
I guess so all I saw screenshots.

1179
01:12:13.960 --> 01:12:16.560
Didn't see it in there myself,
so could be all fabricated. I thought

1180
01:12:16.560 --> 01:12:18.920
the publisher said, like even like
less than a week ago, they had

1181
01:12:18.960 --> 01:12:25.399
no immediate plans to translate and bring
to the US or something they would,

1182
01:12:26.720 --> 01:12:30.720
right, yeah, which, yeah, they did come out last week and

1183
01:12:30.760 --> 01:12:32.199
say no, we're not No,
we have no plans to bring it to

1184
01:12:32.199 --> 01:12:38.359
them. Just gott I didn't imagine
that. Yeah. And then coupling with

1185
01:12:38.399 --> 01:12:41.560
that, there've been rumors going around
this week saying that they'd be an announcement

1186
01:12:41.560 --> 01:12:45.840
on Tuesday. Uh, with regards
to the North American release, that's tomorrow.

1187
01:12:46.239 --> 01:12:49.279
Actually that's today, Yeah, it's
today. When that? Oh my

1188
01:12:49.319 --> 01:12:53.079
god. Yeah, so by the
time you listen to this, we may

1189
01:12:53.119 --> 01:12:56.359
be in a Catherine esque world.
Was July is a lot sooner than I

1190
01:12:56.359 --> 01:12:59.439
would anticipate. I would figure it
would take them a little longer at to

1191
01:12:59.479 --> 01:13:02.079
localize it. Let's seem like out
of character for Atlas. Maybe they've turned

1192
01:13:02.119 --> 01:13:06.439
games around quickly in the past.
Persona four was not exactly years in the

1193
01:13:06.439 --> 01:13:11.439
making when it went from Japan to
the US. I mean they might have

1194
01:13:11.520 --> 01:13:15.680
just been working on while. A
lot of buzz around this game. Yeah,

1195
01:13:16.000 --> 01:13:18.279
I think it's a lot of buzz
around this game until people see what

1196
01:13:18.319 --> 01:13:21.279
it is and then you go,
wait a minute, what I mean?

1197
01:13:21.279 --> 01:13:25.560
The block climbing stuff is okay,
but you know, it's it's telling that

1198
01:13:25.600 --> 01:13:29.520
they're releasing this difficulty patch to make
it easier because I think, you know,

1199
01:13:29.680 --> 01:13:32.880
the people that traditionally play some of
those Atlas games, like some of

1200
01:13:32.920 --> 01:13:40.159
them might not be into intense block
climbing devil madness, so well, they

1201
01:13:40.159 --> 01:13:44.880
definitely like the Devil. Oh yeah, definitely into the Devil. Definitely into

1202
01:13:44.920 --> 01:13:50.720
madness. Charlie Sinoku worship at the
altar of Satan himself. I mean,

1203
01:13:50.840 --> 01:13:55.279
I'm talking about the persona Satan.
I'm talking about Satan. Yeah, talking

1204
01:13:55.279 --> 01:14:00.439
about gene f and Simmons. Wow. Yeah, An we're not on gal

1205
01:14:00.520 --> 01:14:04.520
Gun. When's that localization coming?
Yeah? There there was. I actually

1206
01:14:04.600 --> 01:14:11.119
got some something related to a localization
for gal Gun, someone saying that that

1207
01:14:11.319 --> 01:14:15.199
inquiries were made at one point.
That wasn't That wasn't the gal Gun people.

1208
01:14:15.000 --> 01:14:20.119
Yeah that was you please, I
just want to understand. I just

1209
01:14:20.119 --> 01:14:25.239
want to love We've made inquiries and
uh, we've tracked it back down to

1210
01:14:25.800 --> 01:14:32.239
this address. Yeah, nine twenty
one. So yeah, well to wait

1211
01:14:32.239 --> 01:14:35.880
and see if if well whatever,
I think I think Catherine's coming to the

1212
01:14:35.920 --> 01:14:39.520
US. I think you might be
right. I think I would whether they

1213
01:14:39.520 --> 01:14:42.720
announce it tomorrow or not, regardless
of what Atlas says. I think at

1214
01:14:42.720 --> 01:14:45.159
some point they're gonna say, by
the way, we're bringing Catherine out in

1215
01:14:45.199 --> 01:14:46.840
the US, the reasonable it would
be, it seems like it would be

1216
01:14:46.880 --> 01:14:50.119
poor business not to I you know
what, I don't know anything about making

1217
01:14:50.199 --> 01:14:54.520
video games, so I can't say
that. Well, they've they've already spent

1218
01:14:54.560 --> 01:14:57.159
the majority of the money it takes
to make that game by shipping it in

1219
01:14:57.199 --> 01:15:01.279
Japan, I guess three. So
it's not going to cost them more to

1220
01:15:01.359 --> 01:15:04.640
localize it into English than it would
to develop it out right. So,

1221
01:15:05.159 --> 01:15:08.319
I mean, no one says they
have to make a million copies for the

1222
01:15:08.399 --> 01:15:10.520
US or anything like. They can
keep it a limit, a run to

1223
01:15:10.560 --> 01:15:13.960
see what demand is and then you
know, reprint if people. I think,

1224
01:15:14.119 --> 01:15:15.119
I think it's it's really got a
fair amount. You know. Maybe

1225
01:15:15.159 --> 01:15:18.560
it's just we just live in this
weird Atlas bubble where people are always harassing

1226
01:15:18.640 --> 01:15:25.960
us about playing Atlas games and talking
over them, right, But it seems

1227
01:15:26.000 --> 01:15:29.520
like there have been a lot of
people talking about Catherine. They're a vocal

1228
01:15:29.520 --> 01:15:30.880
audience, the Atlas fans, I
mean, you know, the persona series

1229
01:15:30.880 --> 01:15:33.479
is big and this is a game
from that team, So I think it's

1230
01:15:33.479 --> 01:15:39.159
only natural for people to wat it
out here. And it seems, if

1231
01:15:39.199 --> 01:15:42.600
nothing else, a refreshing change from
the typical games that are coming out these

1232
01:15:42.680 --> 01:15:45.479
days. So it'd be nice to
see something like that make it out over

1233
01:15:45.479 --> 01:15:50.359
here and see how it does.
PSP price cut huh. I know you

1234
01:15:50.359 --> 01:15:56.279
guys are in the market for a
PlayStation portable. Yeah, PSP three thousands

1235
01:15:56.319 --> 01:16:00.560
are now one twenty nine ninety nine. Those entertainment packs that come with bundled

1236
01:16:00.560 --> 01:16:03.920
with games and whatever else, I
think are one fifty nine or something like

1237
01:16:03.960 --> 01:16:08.920
that. Huh. What about the
Go? Hey? What about the Go?

1238
01:16:09.079 --> 01:16:13.960
Go? Is sold out online on
game Stock, and Amazon does not

1239
01:16:14.039 --> 01:16:17.560
seem to have a ton of them
in stock either. Some people guessing that

1240
01:16:17.640 --> 01:16:24.159
maybe Sony is not necessarily hitting those
factories curtain pushing a bunch of those out

1241
01:16:24.239 --> 01:16:28.800
into the channel. This is shocking
news. So in other news, my

1242
01:16:28.840 --> 01:16:32.479
PSP go has just skyrocketing out.
Don't want to buy my PSP GOO nine

1243
01:16:32.520 --> 01:16:35.640
thousand dollars? What? Oh no, don't don't you like need that for

1244
01:16:35.840 --> 01:16:43.000
you know, research and posterity.
Go buy a PSP three thousand for it's

1245
01:16:43.000 --> 01:16:45.760
going in that box with your Gizmondo
and you're all your engages, isn't it.

1246
01:16:45.840 --> 01:16:47.680
Yeah, eventually it's gonna end up
in there with my two Gizmondos and

1247
01:16:47.760 --> 01:16:53.279
my five engages. You have two
Gizmondos. Really wow? That tapwave of

1248
01:16:53.359 --> 01:17:00.600
zodiac I got two tapwave of Zodiacs. Jesus I. I mean the got

1249
01:17:00.600 --> 01:17:04.279
seems like a perfectly reasonable, uh
addition of the PSP, like you know,

1250
01:17:04.319 --> 01:17:08.039
iteration of it, Like what was
so bad? I never thought that

1251
01:17:08.119 --> 01:17:10.439
reasonable? It came out at the
wrong time in the life cycle, but

1252
01:17:10.479 --> 01:17:13.479
that's everyone who wanted a PSP already
had one at that point. So the

1253
01:17:13.520 --> 01:17:17.359
idea of you know, selling them
to new customers who were then going to

1254
01:17:17.439 --> 01:17:21.640
live in this digital future like aside, well that's what I mean, so

1255
01:17:21.720 --> 01:17:28.520
like aside from being in the PSP
life stream there, Yeah, Like why

1256
01:17:28.640 --> 01:17:31.000
support the three thousand more than the
go unless it's way more expensive to make

1257
01:17:31.119 --> 01:17:34.840
because there are tons of the UMDs
on storage. Yeah, I think there

1258
01:17:34.840 --> 01:17:38.840
are tons of UMDs exactly, Well, tons of people already have PSPs at

1259
01:17:38.840 --> 01:17:41.079
that point, Like, why why
would you buy a thing that just lets

1260
01:17:41.119 --> 01:17:45.279
you redownload mostly games that you already. Probably people have these libraries built up

1261
01:17:45.279 --> 01:17:47.840
if they can't even play on this
new PATI and then they But you know

1262
01:17:47.840 --> 01:17:49.600
how many people I mean, you
know, I ended up with a few

1263
01:17:49.600 --> 01:17:54.159
of them, but I'm not the
common man. And when it comes to

1264
01:17:54.359 --> 01:17:58.239
video game hardware, but how many
people need multiple PSPs except for the obvious

1265
01:17:58.279 --> 01:18:01.439
reason that they are shady and they
have one PSP that can no longer play

1266
01:18:01.520 --> 01:18:04.720
regular games. But for new customers, I mean, they poorly supported it.

1267
01:18:04.760 --> 01:18:08.920
You know, there are relatively big
games out there for the PSP that

1268
01:18:08.960 --> 01:18:13.960
you can't get on that thing at
all. On Yeah, they just didn't

1269
01:18:13.960 --> 01:18:15.439
put them out on the on the
store. I guess they just want to

1270
01:18:15.439 --> 01:18:18.960
support this digital future. Sure,
I love the digital future. I mostly

1271
01:18:19.000 --> 01:18:24.840
buy downloadable games at this point,
but that that that system never offered anything

1272
01:18:24.840 --> 01:18:29.680
even remotely worthwhile like it for me. For me, it was all foreign

1273
01:18:29.680 --> 01:18:31.640
factor, Like the more time I
spent with it after buying it, Yeah,

1274
01:18:31.640 --> 01:18:35.840
it's it's it's too thin. I
don't like the throw on the buttons,

1275
01:18:35.840 --> 01:18:40.079
and the dpad is too shout like, it doesn't move enough. It's

1276
01:18:40.159 --> 01:18:44.600
it's not comfortable to hold. Yeah, not for people with big hands.

1277
01:18:45.199 --> 01:18:47.399
Let's just let's just leave it a
not for people. It's just not for

1278
01:18:47.399 --> 01:18:50.920
people. Just be ghost for dogs. Yeah, it's PSP for dogs.

1279
01:18:51.199 --> 01:18:56.319
PSP for dogs, but dogs don't
see in color. Just it's just like

1280
01:18:56.319 --> 01:19:00.079
the game Boy game gear argument all
over again. Sucks for them. Yeah,

1281
01:19:00.079 --> 01:19:02.920
I don't know what the MGP do
out in Japan at the end of

1282
01:19:02.920 --> 01:19:05.920
this year. Issue. Yeah,
it's kind of like, you know,

1283
01:19:06.039 --> 01:19:10.319
yeah, of course they're going to
cut the price on this stuff, and

1284
01:19:10.520 --> 01:19:13.039
I can't imagine this is gonna be
the last price cut we'll see. And

1285
01:19:13.039 --> 01:19:15.760
I don't know. I'd be interested
to see if this spike's PSP hardware sales,

1286
01:19:15.800 --> 01:19:18.640
if anyone is out there waiting to
get one. It's like, oh

1287
01:19:18.680 --> 01:19:20.960
well, now that it's only one
hundred and thirty bucks, I'm totally gonna

1288
01:19:20.960 --> 01:19:24.199
go get to I don't think it's
gonna be like the PS two thing,

1289
01:19:24.199 --> 01:19:28.560
where that this thing just keeps selling
over time, Like, I don't I

1290
01:19:28.560 --> 01:19:30.479
don't see much of a spike with
that thing. Yeah, that's that's my

1291
01:19:30.520 --> 01:19:34.640
guess as well. In other handheld
news, the three DS was launched in

1292
01:19:34.760 --> 01:19:41.079
Japan over the weekend. That's a
console now that is out there for people

1293
01:19:41.159 --> 01:19:44.319
that are in Japan. Well,
it's not out there anymore because sell out

1294
01:19:44.399 --> 01:19:48.079
day one, sell out, hold
on. I thought it was like,

1295
01:19:48.119 --> 01:19:50.680
yeah, we sold most all of
them. There might be a few left,

1296
01:19:51.239 --> 01:19:55.000
you know. I guess there's always
might be a few left. But

1297
01:19:55.000 --> 01:19:57.560
but it sounds like that, doesn't
It sounds like it is not easy to

1298
01:19:57.560 --> 01:20:00.920
find in Japan right now. Ye
a headline once it's not. But I

1299
01:20:00.960 --> 01:20:03.239
saw, you know, people on
Twitter the day it came out over there

1300
01:20:03.279 --> 01:20:05.520
saying like, yeah, you can
still walk down so and so a store

1301
01:20:05.560 --> 01:20:09.760
and they have some on the shelves. It was sold out day one.

1302
01:20:09.840 --> 01:20:13.119
Okay, Reggie, whatever you say, whatever, please stop hitting me.

1303
01:20:13.960 --> 01:20:15.640
Sold out Okay, Yeah, I
guess I don't know what they issued.

1304
01:20:16.119 --> 01:20:18.840
Actually, let me look, I
haven't to have a Nintendo's press site open

1305
01:20:18.880 --> 01:20:23.399
here in a browser. Wow.
Uh. They have nothing about the Japanese

1306
01:20:23.479 --> 01:20:26.000
launch for the three DS issued in
the US saleswise, so I'd have to

1307
01:20:26.079 --> 01:20:29.279
go dig somewhere else for that.
So I don't have that information. But

1308
01:20:29.439 --> 01:20:31.800
I bet they're very happy. Yeah, I'm sure that you know the number

1309
01:20:31.840 --> 01:20:35.239
of units that they decided to put
out there. Most of the vast majority

1310
01:20:35.239 --> 01:20:38.800
of them sold. I think it
was like four hundred. Yeah, yeah,

1311
01:20:39.119 --> 01:20:42.600
so it's two forty nine and US
dollars there, right, and that's

1312
01:20:42.600 --> 01:20:45.479
what it's also coming out as here
I thought it was. I thought,

1313
01:20:47.399 --> 01:20:53.359
yeah, yeah, so did you
hit the hit up any contacts for what's

1314
01:20:53.399 --> 01:20:56.840
going on to the store there.
It's not live yet, but the three

1315
01:20:56.920 --> 01:20:59.239
DS shop is not gonna be live
until like May or something like that.

1316
01:20:59.399 --> 01:21:01.399
Yeah, they were already. You
come out and said that that's no downloads

1317
01:21:01.439 --> 01:21:04.520
at launched, so no interest at
launch. Yeah, I'm concerned. Fair.

1318
01:21:06.359 --> 01:21:13.439
Yeah, the cartrids just have a
tab on them to ostensibly prevent you

1319
01:21:13.520 --> 01:21:15.880
from cramming them into a DS.
Oh so they're the same form factor,

1320
01:21:16.000 --> 01:21:18.039
just with a tab on it,
with a tab to prevent them from going

1321
01:21:18.039 --> 01:21:21.920
into those So it happens when you
file it off, because that's that is

1322
01:21:21.960 --> 01:21:26.800
exactly when when presented with this fact, that is what I wrote back to

1323
01:21:27.279 --> 01:21:29.720
Mark, but Donald said, get
a get a file. The world needs

1324
01:21:29.760 --> 01:21:32.760
to know and did not hear back. So we don't know. That will

1325
01:21:32.800 --> 01:21:35.840
be a tested segment, right right, then if you put a piece of

1326
01:21:35.880 --> 01:21:39.279
tape over it, then make the
record over it. Yeah, yeah,

1327
01:21:39.920 --> 01:21:45.640
which is nice with some of these
games, Steel Diver, so that's out

1328
01:21:45.640 --> 01:21:48.039
there. I don't know. I
kind of went through when like the full

1329
01:21:48.119 --> 01:21:53.560
range of emotion in the in the
run up, thinking like should we get

1330
01:21:53.560 --> 01:21:58.039
one so we can cover it?
But you know, we don't take any

1331
01:21:58.119 --> 01:22:00.119
video of it. We can't.
Yeah, we can't take any video of

1332
01:22:00.199 --> 01:22:04.199
it really. Uh, and you
know anyone that was importing them into the

1333
01:22:04.239 --> 01:22:09.319
US wanted like four hundred and fifty
bucks for one outrageous. It's just like

1334
01:22:09.560 --> 01:22:11.920
I don't really want to, you
know, for a system that will probably

1335
01:22:11.960 --> 01:22:15.640
have in three weeks or something like
that, or you know, before you

1336
01:22:15.680 --> 01:22:16.720
know it's out in them like a
month, right, Yeah, I think

1337
01:22:16.960 --> 01:22:20.439
March March, it's the end of
March. Yeah, I think it's like

1338
01:22:20.439 --> 01:22:25.760
the twenty something in twenty fourth or
something like that. Yeah, so March

1339
01:22:25.840 --> 01:22:28.199
forty three we will have our chance, and we will have our chance to

1340
01:22:28.239 --> 01:22:30.439
review the launch lineup of those games. But you know you're right and that

1341
01:22:30.680 --> 01:22:34.479
it still does present this big question
mark for us as like a fairly video

1342
01:22:34.520 --> 01:22:43.399
focused site, even if we acquired
the necessary arcane device yeah to take video,

1343
01:22:43.439 --> 01:22:45.279
which I suspect it will be available
probably at some point and that'll,

1344
01:22:45.319 --> 01:22:47.720
you know, solve a lot of
the problems. But even if it's not

1345
01:22:47.720 --> 01:22:50.479
gonna be three D, yeah,
you still can't represent the games in like

1346
01:22:50.600 --> 01:22:55.800
the fullest, truest kill whatever.
Yeah, we were actually having conversations about

1347
01:22:55.840 --> 01:22:58.680
it. You can we do three
can we do three D flash player?

1348
01:22:58.800 --> 01:23:01.520
But the question is can people display
it? And in most cases probably not.

1349
01:23:01.960 --> 01:23:04.359
I have no idea that so you
can just put on some cool glasses

1350
01:23:04.439 --> 01:23:10.159
or something. If it's anything like
all the other three D technology out there,

1351
01:23:10.159 --> 01:23:12.680
you need a special screen for it
that most people don't have. Right,

1352
01:23:13.520 --> 01:23:15.640
unless we could do like the red
blue or whatever whatever, you can

1353
01:23:15.680 --> 01:23:23.319
play movies on your three davies to
your three DS and watch them on that.

1354
01:23:23.319 --> 01:23:29.239
That's yeah, okay, problem solved. Yeah, so yeah, I

1355
01:23:29.279 --> 01:23:31.600
don't know, it's still a big
question mark for how we'll we'll cover that

1356
01:23:31.640 --> 01:23:39.279
stuff other than like text reviews and
and that sort of stuff, because over

1357
01:23:39.359 --> 01:23:43.399
the shoulder shots look yeah, well
I mean can you can you present those

1358
01:23:43.399 --> 01:23:46.279
games like in two D? I
mean yeah, yeah, sure. I

1359
01:23:46.399 --> 01:23:51.960
understand they make the devices that put
those games onto a television, right at

1360
01:23:53.000 --> 01:23:56.920
least so so they're putting out footage
of it in some house. Right,

1361
01:23:57.079 --> 01:23:59.560
so in a pinch, you can
only show what the games look like at

1362
01:23:59.600 --> 01:24:02.319
their core, or even without the
three DST Someday we will be able to

1363
01:24:02.319 --> 01:24:05.239
do that, right, we are
not equipped with something that is the size

1364
01:24:05.239 --> 01:24:08.239
of a Beta Max player. He
will be able to do that. Yeah,

1365
01:24:08.279 --> 01:24:10.680
it'll probably about that big. Yeah, I've seen it. Yeah,

1366
01:24:10.880 --> 01:24:16.319
what it exists in a wild bee? Don't know what I do? Man,

1367
01:24:16.880 --> 01:24:21.880
we need a beige box. Is
that what you're saying? Uh?

1368
01:24:21.880 --> 01:24:28.479
What else? A lot of people
talking about this Modern Warfare related website find

1369
01:24:28.560 --> 01:24:31.720
macarov dot com. People started getting
dog tags and mail I actually got mine

1370
01:24:31.760 --> 01:24:34.159
this week. Some people got there's
last week. I think it's just because

1371
01:24:34.199 --> 01:24:39.760
mailing from Canada or wherever it came
from took a little while. So yeah,

1372
01:24:39.800 --> 01:24:42.920
people were looking at this site.
It's a countdown that's gonna expire sometime

1373
01:24:42.920 --> 01:24:45.560
on Wednesday, and people were looking
at it saying, well, this is

1374
01:24:45.560 --> 01:24:49.560
obviously the countdown of Modern Warfare.
Three. An activision kind of uncharacteristically came

1375
01:24:49.560 --> 01:24:53.680
out and said this is not us. It wasn't we don't come in a

1376
01:24:53.720 --> 01:24:56.760
rut speculation. It said, this
is a hoax or something we are not

1377
01:24:56.840 --> 01:25:00.720
announcing a Call of Duty game next
week. D. This is not so

1378
01:25:00.039 --> 01:25:02.720
they say we're not announcing it.
They say, we're not announcing a call

1379
01:25:02.720 --> 01:25:05.039
to any okay week. So it
still could be from Action, Yes,

1380
01:25:05.119 --> 01:25:09.920
it could be, but probably not. Okay. My favorite running theory for

1381
01:25:09.920 --> 01:25:15.079
this thing is that it's actually a
Battlefield three promotion. So Jeff Kealey uh

1382
01:25:15.199 --> 01:25:21.640
put forth that it is a Call
of Duty uh based fan film huh,

1383
01:25:21.720 --> 01:25:25.960
and that he was hinted he was
sent some sort of still image from it

1384
01:25:26.000 --> 01:25:31.680
showing a guy dressed up as ghost
in a helicopters. Yeah, and and

1385
01:25:31.720 --> 01:25:38.840
he wrote up a thing about that, so he seems to be pretty firm

1386
01:25:38.920 --> 01:25:43.960
about that in terms of it leading
to that. So so how long until

1387
01:25:44.000 --> 01:25:46.279
Activision sues the makers of that film? Any day now? Yeah? Any

1388
01:25:46.319 --> 01:25:49.560
day now. I don't know it
worked for people making a Mortal Kombat fan

1389
01:25:49.640 --> 01:25:53.199
film, that's true, of a
sudden, they're making a whole lot more

1390
01:25:53.239 --> 01:25:57.319
of those. So well, the
difference is that helped renew interest in a

1391
01:25:57.399 --> 01:26:00.760
brand that maybe has not. I
mean, you know, MK versus DC

1392
01:26:00.920 --> 01:26:02.399
sold well, but I mean it
hasn't exactly like you know, been at

1393
01:26:02.399 --> 01:26:08.239
peak popularity for a while, and
then that simultaneously Modern Warfare is really big

1394
01:26:08.319 --> 01:26:13.439
and really kind of Activision's big thing. So also Activision is in the business

1395
01:26:13.479 --> 01:26:15.720
of fiercely protecting their ip. Yeah, but I mean that Mortal Kombat thing

1396
01:26:15.800 --> 01:26:19.199
came out and was really good.
That was like the Lynchpin there was like,

1397
01:26:19.239 --> 01:26:23.039
holy shit, this is actually a
quality thing. Yeah, So I

1398
01:26:23.159 --> 01:26:26.840
don't know if they do a good
job with it. Maybe, yeah,

1399
01:26:26.840 --> 01:26:29.720
I don't. I don't know.
I'm sure if that dude we're selling his

1400
01:26:29.800 --> 01:26:32.239
Moral Kombat film to people, it
would be a different story. Yeah,

1401
01:26:32.760 --> 01:26:35.560
yeah, sure. Yeah. Well
now it's a web series, so there

1402
01:26:35.560 --> 01:26:39.359
you go that they are probably gonna
sell. So yeah, well as long

1403
01:26:39.359 --> 01:26:41.800
as he gets his big thumbs up
right right right right at that point.

1404
01:26:43.840 --> 01:26:48.760
Yeah, so a fan movie like
a wait in see kind of whatever.

1405
01:26:48.880 --> 01:26:53.520
But let's take guesses here real quick. You think this year's game is Modern

1406
01:26:53.560 --> 01:26:58.960
Warfare? Three? Yes, all
right, shouldn't it be? Yes,

1407
01:27:00.239 --> 01:27:03.279
it'll be a call of Duty game. Okay, way to cop out.

1408
01:27:03.640 --> 01:27:06.560
All you're asking is will it be
called Modern war right? Three? That's

1409
01:27:06.680 --> 01:27:11.159
yeah, we'll be said in that
fiction, I continue that story. There'll

1410
01:27:11.199 --> 01:27:14.760
be a captain Price. I feel
like probably etcetera, etcetera. I think

1411
01:27:14.760 --> 01:27:17.319
the answer like, we'll pick up
where Modern Warfare two left off, ish

1412
01:27:17.520 --> 01:27:21.159
like dudes on the run. Since
they're since it's invariably going to new people,

1413
01:27:21.239 --> 01:27:25.119
maybe they'll kind of skirt around those
stuff a little bit. I don't

1414
01:27:25.119 --> 01:27:27.720
know. They don't have to pick
up a minute one after that. Yeah,

1415
01:27:27.840 --> 01:27:30.159
they don't have to be all like, who wasn't it was getting dragged

1416
01:27:30.159 --> 01:27:32.760
away? Was it? I was
you? I think by Price? Wasn't

1417
01:27:32.800 --> 01:27:36.760
it? If I remember correct?
Who wasn't I was getting like there was

1418
01:27:36.880 --> 01:27:40.840
fireman carried by other because you were
pulling a knife out of your stomach.

1419
01:27:41.119 --> 01:27:46.279
I remember throwing it into Shepherd's something
head Wait was that his name? Yeah?

1420
01:27:46.319 --> 01:27:51.520
The bad guy. So which major
real world political situation do you think

1421
01:27:51.560 --> 01:27:58.039
they'll play off of for for a
level in this game? Seriously, not

1422
01:27:58.439 --> 01:28:01.399
late Libbya happened too late for them
to realistically incorporate it. So maybe Egypt.

1423
01:28:01.920 --> 01:28:04.960
I think Egypt's probably even too late. I think if it's a Modern

1424
01:28:05.000 --> 01:28:08.279
Warfare game, I feel like they've
gone off the rail so much. It

1425
01:28:08.319 --> 01:28:12.039
could be on Mars. Yeah,
it's fair. They're finding dwarves Underground,

1426
01:28:12.239 --> 01:28:19.119
Like, yeah, I would totally
play that game. Yes, soap to

1427
01:28:19.159 --> 01:28:24.239
get underground. Get you all ask
the Mars, Yeah, I mean they're

1428
01:28:24.279 --> 01:28:27.000
behind it all. I bet there
is a modern warfare. Three of the

1429
01:28:27.079 --> 01:28:30.239
question is like who worked on it
and what exactly? Valid question? Exactly

1430
01:28:30.319 --> 01:28:33.199
is the content of it? I
think that multi studio story will prove to

1431
01:28:33.199 --> 01:28:38.359
be true. The Infinity Ward is
leading the charge, but backed up by

1432
01:28:39.479 --> 01:28:44.000
Raven and Sledgehammer at All, whoever
else. I totally believe that this Beachhead

1433
01:28:44.039 --> 01:28:46.600
Studio or whatever we'll do continued map
support or whatever it ends up band.

1434
01:28:46.760 --> 01:28:50.319
But if that ends up being true, I'd be really curious to see exactly

1435
01:28:50.520 --> 01:28:57.359
how disparate that game ends up feeling
if that many different studios, because sometimes

1436
01:28:57.359 --> 01:29:00.119
when when there's a lot of studios
working on one game like sir An,

1437
01:29:00.119 --> 01:29:02.680
elements start feeling really Yeah, that
can happen. But you know, at

1438
01:29:02.720 --> 01:29:05.920
the same time, there are enough
different parts to that game that they easily

1439
01:29:05.960 --> 01:29:09.920
have. You know, these guys
are doing multiplayer, these guys are working

1440
01:29:09.960 --> 01:29:14.199
on the campaigns, are working on
d so also they have a very clear

1441
01:29:14.199 --> 01:29:18.279
blueprint true describes exactly what that game
should be. Yeah, you guys are

1442
01:29:18.279 --> 01:29:24.960
working on the eye rolling into the
back of your head physics. It's very

1443
01:29:25.039 --> 01:29:28.640
key scene. It's a very huge, two hundred person studio just works on

1444
01:29:28.680 --> 01:29:31.880
that. Yeah, that's it for
news. Okay, sweet, let's talk

1445
01:29:31.880 --> 01:29:39.359
about new releases. Okay, Fight
Nights out this week. Yeah, Beyond

1446
01:29:39.399 --> 01:29:42.880
Good and Evil HDS out this week. I think Pixel Junk Shooter two is

1447
01:29:42.880 --> 01:29:46.920
out this week. Yeah, I
think you're right and out this week on

1448
01:29:47.039 --> 01:29:53.079
we Wear bit Trip Flux from Access
Games. One of two players rate for

1449
01:29:53.079 --> 01:29:56.520
everyone eight hundred wee points. This
is this is the finale, right,

1450
01:29:56.600 --> 01:29:58.800
Yeah, this is it. This
is it. Now I can finally go

1451
01:29:58.840 --> 01:30:02.600
back and make my way through the
series. Right, follow this story with

1452
01:30:02.640 --> 01:30:08.039
Commander Video. So the Bittrip series
comes full circle with Bittrip Flux, Commander

1453
01:30:08.119 --> 01:30:12.479
Video's final adventure. Grab your we
remote TM controller and grab get ready for

1454
01:30:12.560 --> 01:30:16.319
classic paddle based gameplay. As Commander
Video returns to the source. Whether playing

1455
01:30:16.319 --> 01:30:19.159
in single player or cooperative player mode, you'll be faced with new challenges that

1456
01:30:19.239 --> 01:30:25.720
will make even the most experienced bit
trippers wheats bit trippers in all cats as

1457
01:30:25.760 --> 01:30:30.800
always enjoy new power ups, including
the full screen paddle, new beat types,

1458
01:30:30.840 --> 01:30:35.880
including avoid beats and the new meta
mode, right along with Commander video

1459
01:30:35.880 --> 01:30:43.800
as he completes his mission and returns
home. A. Yeah, that's even

1460
01:30:43.880 --> 01:30:46.960
kind of like a flagship we Wear
a series that's before the definitely the standout.

1461
01:30:47.319 --> 01:30:49.520
That's it. We were done.
It's kind of wild. It hasn't

1462
01:30:49.520 --> 01:30:53.119
been coming to a lot of other
platforms, but it's like the first one

1463
01:30:53.119 --> 01:30:57.840
came out on PC and iPad,
slash iPhone. They did bittrip beat there,

1464
01:30:58.239 --> 01:31:00.880
and I would assume that they would
think about out doing the rest of

1465
01:31:00.920 --> 01:31:05.159
them there too, But I don't
know. I wonder how well that's done

1466
01:31:05.199 --> 01:31:08.760
for them. I don't know.
I mean, you know, they've kind

point. Right. Developer put out a

1470

press release last week about acquiring another
studio, these guys, the Gudgeon Games.

1471
01:31:24.760 --> 01:31:29.079

may have been one guy, sure

1472
01:31:29.680 --> 01:31:34.399

01:31:49.119 --> 01:31:56.239

1478
01:31:56.319 --> 01:31:59.840
Egyptian, Roman, and Japanese mythologies. As a god, you have enough

1479
01:32:00.000 --> 01:32:05.680
hour to rule the humans all but
the cheeky ones. What Some of them

1480
01:32:05.720 --> 01:32:11.640
want to enter your domain and have
decided to build a tower to confront you.

1481
01:32:11.720 --> 01:32:14.680
Use your divine powers to bring them
down and show them whose boss.

1482
01:32:14.880 --> 01:32:16.560
Be careful not to hurt them,
though you need people to believe in you,

1483
01:32:16.800 --> 01:32:21.159
also make sure to befuddle their language. Yeah. The game includes sixty

1484

levels for the solo campaign, sixteen
playable gods with specific powers, four hysterical

1485
01:32:26.600 --> 01:32:30.159
bosses to defeat, and sixteen additional
challenges for experienced players. I still have

1486
01:32:30.159 --> 01:32:32.520
no idea what you do in that
game, and it sounds like a god

1487
01:32:32.560 --> 01:32:35.159
game to me. It sounds like
that the humans are trying to build a

1488
01:32:35.159 --> 01:32:38.680
tower to get to you and you
have to stop them but without killing them.

1489
01:32:40.279 --> 01:32:42.680
But like, what what would you
do? It sounds like Godfather too

1490
01:32:42.800 --> 01:32:45.960
Black Hand addition, where you gotta, you know, beat the guys enough

1491
01:32:45.039 --> 01:32:47.359
up, enough to shake them down, but not enough to kill them all

1492
01:32:47.399 --> 01:32:58.359
right. Palm Toss Pro Frat Party

01:33:10.479 --> 01:33:14.479
language. Really you can get an
E rating with an alcohol reference. It

1496
01:33:14.520 --> 01:33:17.239
could be a mild reference. This
is a demo. The full version is

1497
01:33:17.279 --> 01:33:23.119
six hundred week points. Born on
College Campus is pownk Toss is the ultimate

01:33:23.159 --> 01:33:27.159
party game favorite. Now pown Toss
Pro takes it to the next level with

1499
01:33:27.199 --> 01:33:31.479
improved graphics and a redesigned throwing system
for complete accuracy. Also new to pown

1500
01:33:31.520 --> 01:33:35.560
Toss Pro is a tournament mode that
supports four, eight or sixteen team bracket

1501
01:33:35.600 --> 01:33:41.560
play. Pown Toss Pro features six
regulation tables and the ability to modify simple

1502
01:33:41.600 --> 01:33:45.399
house rules. Rocket with a high
energy soundtrack and listen to the announcer commenting

1503
01:33:45.439 --> 01:33:48.880
on your play. Oh man,
I know, it just sounds more and

1504
01:33:48.920 --> 01:33:56.800
more intense rule the table with fireball
bonuses for consecutive shots. In speed Pong,

1505
01:33:56.920 --> 01:33:59.760
up to three challengers can compete at
the same time. Speed and strategy

1506
01:33:59.760 --> 01:34:03.359
are in this fast based game.
Jack up your opponents. I don't want

1507
01:34:03.399 --> 01:34:10.760
to do that. Jack up your
opponents by using a slew of power ups

1508
01:34:10.760 --> 01:34:14.399
that will slow them down. The
first player to sink the last cup wins

1509
01:34:14.399 --> 01:34:16.760
it all. I wonder if there
is any actual alcohol in that game at

1510
01:34:16.800 --> 01:34:19.079
all, or if it's just like
it's if they just got slapped with the

1511
01:34:19.119 --> 01:34:21.920
alcohol reference because it's it is just
a beer palm. Yeah, there could

1512
01:34:21.920 --> 01:34:25.720
be like a picture of a beer
can or something just in the background for

1513
01:34:25.760 --> 01:34:31.560
ambiance or something, but I don't
know. Three DSi ware releases this week

01:35:46.520 --> 01:35:49.720
that's you know. This might close
it out with Space lunch Room. I

1532
01:35:49.720 --> 01:35:51.920
can't imagine, Like where do you
wave from there? I don't know,

1533
01:35:54.079 --> 01:35:58.319
underwater Martian dwarves. They need to

1537
01:36:11.880 --> 01:36:20.000
Okay, Magnetic Joe Summer, I
think that's hilarious. Magnetic Joe from Subdued

1538
01:36:20.079 --> 01:36:24.319
Software one of two players ready for
everyone comic missed you five hundred and ten

1539
01:36:24.439 --> 01:36:29.000
video high points. Take control of
Magnetic Joe. All right, everyone's favorite

1540
01:36:29.079 --> 01:36:34.359
little magnetic sphere. I actually have
another preferred magnetic sphere. Let's hear it

1541
01:36:35.960 --> 01:36:43.000
all Yeah, that's that's what I
thought. Guide him through one hundred exciting

1542
01:36:43.039 --> 01:36:46.640
mazes filled with spikes, enemies,
and other obstacles helped Joe as he pursues

1543
01:36:46.680 --> 01:36:53.840
his nemesis, doctor Magnieval, who's
on his way to conquer the world.

1544
01:36:54.279 --> 01:36:57.880
All right, he's on his way, Like, oh, I gotta stop

1545
01:36:57.920 --> 01:37:00.800
picking my dry cleaning work in this
diner for a little bit. Yeah,

1546
01:37:00.039 --> 01:37:04.960
he's enough and cost Mikey and Annie
down the space lunch room. And I

1547
01:37:04.960 --> 01:37:08.319
guess I'm gonna go conquer the world. But first first, for the chef.

1548
01:37:10.439 --> 01:37:13.520
The mazes are full of magnets that
push and pull Joe in different directions.

1549
01:37:13.560 --> 01:37:15.680
Your task is too skillfully use their
magnetic force to get Joe to the

1550
01:37:15.680 --> 01:37:20.600
exit unharmed. Use the magnetic force
carefully. The levels are filled with surprises

1551
01:37:21.039 --> 01:37:25.039
and the boss could be lurking.
You know, it sounds like they picked

1552
01:37:25.039 --> 01:37:30.880
the wrong hero. Yeah, go
after mister doctor magneevil Magnetic Joe. He's

1553
01:37:30.880 --> 01:37:32.159
gonna stick to them. Yeah.
I guess what. I'm not magnetic.

1554
01:37:32.199 --> 01:37:36.680
I'll walk right by everything and kill
the Giant Man. There were so many

1555
01:37:36.680 --> 01:37:41.159
opportunities for ICP references in that press
release they never went for and I was

1556
01:37:41.279 --> 01:37:48.760
really disappointed. That's why it's from
subdued software. No better to shay and

1557

1579
01:39:45.159 --> 01:39:48.880
All right? That's it for new
releases and now it's time for perhaps

1580
01:39:48.920 --> 01:39:57.880
some emails, Yes, emails BombCast
at GiantBomb dot com or x what is

1581
01:39:57.880 --> 01:40:01.880
the email address? What nothing to
send your emails to. This first one

1582
01:40:01.920 --> 01:40:05.439
comes in from Brian in the UK, who wants to know about clacks.

1583
01:40:05.680 --> 01:40:10.840
In the nineties, it was it
was time for clacks. Okay, it

1584
01:40:10.920 --> 01:40:14.239
is now twenty eleven. What time
is it for krick crack? It's time

1585
01:40:14.279 --> 01:40:17.960
for krick crack. Crack clacks is
what you're saying. You can't even crunch.

1586
01:40:18.000 --> 01:40:25.119
It's mushy. You have to like
go out of your way to what

1587
01:40:25.239 --> 01:40:27.960
if I pray im all of it
in my mouth at one time. It's

1588
01:40:28.000 --> 01:40:30.560
like the third time I've heard someone
say that today, and every time I

1589
01:40:30.680 --> 01:40:33.239
just all I can do a smile
and nod. Yes. I mean how

1590
01:40:33.279 --> 01:40:38.399
many of those times? Was it
Brad's fingers? Yeah, ketchup, polish

1591
01:40:38.439 --> 01:40:41.680
kitch pain. Sorry, Alex,
I don't know what time it is.

1592
01:40:41.720 --> 01:40:44.359
There is no there's been no follow
up for clacks. There is still time

1593
01:40:44.399 --> 01:40:46.800
for clocks in twenty eleven. That's
the answer, especially in the next version

1594
01:40:46.840 --> 01:40:54.039
with that blob ball thing which was
a story mode and silly Mike from New

1595
01:40:54.039 --> 01:40:57.720
Hampshire says, Hey you guys.
First off, thanks for coming to Pack's

1596
01:40:57.720 --> 01:41:00.720
East. We haven't gone yet,
No guarantees, man, I would like

1597
01:41:00.760 --> 01:41:03.239
to wear my Whiskey Media member shirt
on Friday of Pack's East to start conversation

1598
01:41:03.279 --> 01:41:05.920
with other Whiskey Media members. But
Friday is also the day of your panel.

1599
01:41:06.600 --> 01:41:10.439
PCU clearly states that you don't wear
the T shirt of the band you

1600
01:41:10.479 --> 01:41:12.560
were going to see. You don't
want to. You don't want to be

1601
01:41:12.600 --> 01:41:15.000
that guy. I was wondering if
the same rule applied to panels. Yes,

1602
01:41:15.399 --> 01:41:18.920
well I wear two shirts. Yeah, where two shirts you can change?

1603
01:41:19.159 --> 01:41:21.359
Also, I just don't. I
don't think. I almost want to

1604
01:41:21.359 --> 01:41:26.039
say it's totally fine to do it, because you can't take life lessons from

1605
01:41:26.079 --> 01:41:30.439
anything that. Jeremy Piven was involved
hardily Sheen, on the other hand,

1606
01:41:30.520 --> 01:41:32.800
Yeah, yeah, exactly. He
would wear nothing but lifeless. He's got

1607
01:41:32.840 --> 01:41:39.039
life lessons spilling out of him about
about the dangers of consuming mercury. Yeah

1608
01:41:39.079 --> 01:41:42.760
that might be. I guess that
is something we could learn from Jeremy Piven.

1609
01:41:42.800 --> 01:41:45.800
To make an exception, there be
the worst person alive. I say,

1610
01:41:45.800 --> 01:41:48.720
wear the T shirt? Why not, you'll be among friends. Yeah,

1611
01:41:48.800 --> 01:41:53.039
totally yeah, i'd say where where? Do what you feel? Yeah?

1612
01:41:53.279 --> 01:41:56.159
Yeah, you feel that morning,
you know. Don't make these these

1613
01:41:56.199 --> 01:42:00.399
are game time decisions you're talking.
Don't plan too far ahead, you overthink,

1614
01:42:00.439 --> 01:42:04.800
It'll make you crazy. Frank from
Texas. I was just playing through

1615
01:42:04.800 --> 01:42:08.600
Halo Reach recently, and I realized
I hate using the assault rifle because I

1616
01:42:08.600 --> 01:42:12.880
don't care much for the crosshairs.
I perform more and prefer more accurate weapons.

1617
01:42:12.880 --> 01:42:14.800
So the smaller the radical, the
better. Do you, guys,

1618
01:42:14.800 --> 01:42:18.680
any favorite cross hairs or preferences on
scopes versus iron sights? So this is

1619
01:42:18.680 --> 01:42:25.279
happening, all right, heady question? Like a nice red dot? All

1620
01:42:25.279 --> 01:42:29.680
it needs a dot or a dot
with a circle around the dot. I'm

1621
01:42:29.680 --> 01:42:32.079
more of a cross guy. I
like a three style red cross some of

1622
01:42:32.119 --> 01:42:35.800
those crossairs. I never needed the
circle. Yeah, just the dots.

1623
01:42:35.840 --> 01:42:42.680
Yeah, the dots fine. Yeah. Also, that was sent from his

1624
01:42:42.680 --> 01:42:45.720
iPhone case the case you were wondering. He really needed to send that question,

1625
01:42:45.800 --> 01:42:48.279
like as soon as he thought of
it. Wait wait, wait,

1626
01:42:48.319 --> 01:42:56.680
I gonna get this bomb cast it. What damn it? I'm driving in

1627
01:42:56.720 --> 01:43:01.399
my head. This person is also
driving. Chris from Tampa, Florida says

1628
01:43:01.399 --> 01:43:04.159
Hello, Jents. I was thinking
about the long history of Duke Nukem Forever

1629
01:43:04.159 --> 01:43:06.039
and the many people who have worked
on the game and it's past. My

1630
01:43:06.119 --> 01:43:09.479
question to you guys is how long
do you think the credits for Duke Will

1631
01:43:09.520 --> 01:43:13.119
Last? Will be the longest credit
sequence in history? Or will Gearbox decide

1632
01:43:13.119 --> 01:43:15.840
to only put people who recently worked
on the game in the credits so they've

1633
01:43:15.840 --> 01:43:17.920
actually have a site up. I
don't know if you saw this. Gearbox

1634
01:43:18.000 --> 01:43:21.880
put up a website saying, hey, were you affiliated with the development of

1635
01:43:21.920 --> 01:43:26.159
Duke Nukem Forever and to make credited
in the game. I was hoping that's

1636
01:43:26.199 --> 01:43:30.920
what you're gonna say. That's amazing, Like they've just like lost the master

1637
01:43:30.079 --> 01:43:32.560
list at some point. Yeah,
it's like, you know, to fill

1638
01:43:32.600 --> 01:43:36.720
out this form and we'll look into
it. George Bissar's basement flooded one time.

1639
01:43:38.960 --> 01:43:41.279
We don't, We've got nothing.
And it's like, you know,

1640
01:43:41.439 --> 01:43:44.560
obvious entries for people to actually work
on games, and it's like, if

1641
01:43:44.560 --> 01:43:47.199
you're like Press who has a significant
tie to the history of the development of

1642
01:43:47.199 --> 01:43:50.000
this game, you may qualify.
Let us know, or like if you

1643
01:43:50.079 --> 01:43:54.319
argue with George Brassard, on usenet
once. You know, by all means,

1644
01:43:54.159 --> 01:43:57.439
let's get in the credits. Let's
get in the credits for that game.

1645
01:43:58.399 --> 01:44:00.880
You can put it on our pages. Oh no, is that?

1646
01:44:01.000 --> 01:44:04.520
But still even with all those people, would that those credits be any longer

1647
01:44:04.520 --> 01:44:08.960
than something like rock band beatles like
that? That was by far the longest

1648
01:44:08.960 --> 01:44:12.960
credits he which I ever sat through. That's like half an hour of credits.

1649
01:44:13.039 --> 01:44:15.159
Are you counting all the photo portion
as part of the overall credit time

1650
01:44:15.239 --> 01:44:18.199
or just the role, the whole
role, the whole thing like that from

1651
01:44:18.439 --> 01:44:21.560
from the moment the credit start.
Yeah, it's not how long your credits

1652
01:44:21.560 --> 01:44:26.199
are though, it's how fast you
scroll it. Yeah, that's true.

1653
01:44:26.600 --> 01:44:30.960
It's a pause it Boltstorm, you
totally pause Warfare? Was it two?

1654
01:44:31.720 --> 01:44:36.560
They can have a really long,
real fast Yeah, it's like here's the

1655
01:44:36.600 --> 01:44:44.800
activision dudes, peace Uh Calforn,
Australia. Do you live in fear that

1656
01:44:44.840 --> 01:44:47.319
the term dick tits will get used
so much that it slingshots around the moon

1657
01:44:47.359 --> 01:44:50.119
of irony, it becomes hurling back
to Earth as a bona fide swear,

1658
01:44:50.800 --> 01:44:56.239
It's only the game once and not
in a particularly good spot. It's not

1659
01:44:56.319 --> 01:44:59.119
like well used for all, for
you know, for it coming out in

1660
01:44:59.159 --> 01:45:00.680
those trailers and being the thing that
people latched onto. Like, it's not

1661
01:45:00.760 --> 01:45:03.760
represented in the game as a major
thing that to use the word dick way

1662
01:45:03.840 --> 01:45:10.279
too often though they absolutely do.
I don't live in fear. Yeah,

1663
01:45:10.439 --> 01:45:13.159
I'm not worried about it. It's
it's just too stupid. It will not

1664
01:45:13.239 --> 01:45:15.880
hit the window. Bollstorm is a
fine game, but I don't know that

1665
01:45:16.000 --> 01:45:19.159
six months from now, anybody's gonna
be saying much of anything about it.

1666
01:45:19.840 --> 01:45:24.199
You think it's one of those sort
of like good in the instant you play

1667
01:45:24.199 --> 01:45:27.520
it, and then kind of forgettable
type experiences. I mean, but there

1668
01:45:27.520 --> 01:45:30.520
are some things in there some people
will pick up and run with. You

1669
01:45:30.560 --> 01:45:32.600
don't think it'll be a franchise.
I don't know. I think it'll be

1670
01:45:32.600 --> 01:45:35.119
a I mean that comes down to
how well it's cells. Yeah. I

1671
01:45:35.159 --> 01:45:38.960
think they could do a Bulletstorm too. Yeah, I think there's definitely room

1672
01:45:39.000 --> 01:45:42.760
for it. Like design wise,
there's definitely stuff they could do. Maybe

1673
01:45:42.840 --> 01:45:45.840
maybe worst cover I've seen the Xbox
version. It's just like, what is

1674
01:45:45.920 --> 01:45:49.039
that cover art? Terrible? It's
like the bottom of a shoe. Yeah.

1675
01:45:49.119 --> 01:45:56.119
Yeah, the Box PC version.
Is it different? Forget you got

1676
01:45:56.199 --> 01:45:59.560
a hold of the is it different
fronts? The cover art different from the

1677
01:45:59.560 --> 01:46:00.760
console? No? No, no, it's the same because on on the

1678
01:46:00.880 --> 01:46:03.800
Xbox, like when you see people
play right PC version, it's got the

1679
01:46:03.840 --> 01:46:06.479
odds. It's the old box And
then maybe that's the one that'll switch too

1680
01:46:06.479 --> 01:46:10.920
when it's not limited edition anymore or
something weird like that. But yeah,

1681
01:46:10.960 --> 01:46:13.479
I don't know. I feel like
they should have stuck with that other box

1682
01:46:13.520 --> 01:46:15.840
Heart because the big bootprint thing just
looks it's awful. It's hard to tell

1683
01:46:15.840 --> 01:46:25.479
you. Yeah, it's no Borderlands
Dean in Woollong Gone Australia. Woong uh

1684
01:46:25.479 --> 01:46:29.079
with Gearbox stepping in and cleaning up
the massive Duke nugam. Which developer can

1685
01:46:29.119 --> 01:46:32.079
we now charge with completing valves work
on Half Live Episode three? How about

1686
01:46:32.159 --> 01:46:34.640
Valve? Valve needs to be taught
a lesson here. If you don't use

1687
01:46:34.640 --> 01:46:42.439
it, you lose it a franchise. Sorry, I'm developing. Well I

1688
01:46:42.479 --> 01:46:47.279
heard Twisted Pixels doing it and it's
all FMV. It's amazing. Uh.

1689
01:46:47.399 --> 01:46:50.720
Yeah, they make a game,
it's just they passed it to MGS and

1690
01:46:50.720 --> 01:46:55.079
now it is a connect game.
It's just gonna be Half Live three at

1691
01:46:55.119 --> 01:46:57.239
this point, right, Like,
it's not even there's not even gonna be

1692
01:46:57.279 --> 01:47:00.279
an episode. It's just Half Life
three. Ye has to make it,

1693
01:47:00.319 --> 01:47:02.840
has to think it has to be. Yeah, maybe I don't think they

1694
01:47:02.840 --> 01:47:05.119
should do another episode for Half Life
two at this point. I think they

1695
01:47:05.119 --> 01:47:09.880
should just make Half lif three.
Would even be the point? No,

1696
01:47:09.880 --> 01:47:13.880
they should put out Half three and
then put out Half Live three as like

1697
01:47:13.880 --> 01:47:15.479
a prequel, Like here's what you
miss, it's the it's the pre order

1698
01:47:15.479 --> 01:47:17.680
bonus. You only get that if
you buy it from game Stop. Doesn't

1699
01:47:17.720 --> 01:47:20.960
doesn't making a new Half Life like
with a new number on it kind of

1700
01:47:20.960 --> 01:47:25.920
bring like a new engine requirement and
stuff. Yeah, I think at this

1701
01:47:25.960 --> 01:47:31.359
point absolutely hope. So, yeah
needs an overall so you can't use the

1702
01:47:31.359 --> 01:47:36.800
same stock weapons and the same art
assets and stuff. Yes, as as

1703
01:47:36.800 --> 01:47:42.680
someone who is weeks away from building
a brand new PC, yes it's time.

1704
01:47:42.840 --> 01:47:45.359
Yes, you would you would play
Half lif three on a PC?

1705
01:47:46.479 --> 01:47:49.920
Imagine it probably half two at some
point. Yeah, everything. I mean.

1706
01:47:50.079 --> 01:47:54.680
Valve is a multiplatform developer. I
was thinking in the context of a

1707
01:47:54.720 --> 01:47:57.560
reviewer and someone who has to play
a lot of games, he would probably

1708
01:47:57.560 --> 01:47:59.640
have to play that PC version at
some point? What if they call it

1709
01:47:59.680 --> 01:48:02.560
half I have three episode one.
I think everybody just what they call it

1710
01:48:02.600 --> 01:48:08.520
half life episode three? Like,
what, it's Barney, it's the original,

1711
01:48:08.560 --> 01:48:14.960
it's the original engine. Yeah.
Uh, let's scrolling through some of

1712
01:48:15.000 --> 01:48:21.840
these emails here. Oh god,
this is even scarier proposition. Jean francois

1713
01:48:23.039 --> 01:48:26.720
right in to say the current generation
of consoles helped the adoption of wide screen

1714
01:48:26.840 --> 01:48:30.800
HDTVs. Now that twenty one by
nine wide screen televisions are barely starting to

1715
01:48:30.880 --> 01:48:33.800
hit the market, do you think
the next gen consoles will have the option

1716
01:48:33.840 --> 01:48:36.880
of displaying games and movies in such
a ratio? I think it is the

1717
01:48:36.880 --> 01:48:40.800
next logical step and it would be
great if they did. What do you

1718
01:48:40.800 --> 01:48:44.800
think it's you know, ready for
PC PC games to stop supporting sixteen by

1719
01:48:44.880 --> 01:48:49.680
nine? Also twenty one by nine? Geez, what is that is that?

1720
01:48:49.760 --> 01:48:54.159
Like? I don't think I don't
think that's film right, cinematic like

1721
01:48:54.800 --> 01:48:58.319
three millimeter or whatever, like two
point three five to one or something.

1722
01:48:58.359 --> 01:49:02.880
Maybe somebody do the ratio for me. That sounds about right, because eighteen

1723
01:49:02.920 --> 01:49:06.000
by nine would be ten and a
half to four to four and a half

1724
01:49:06.840 --> 01:49:10.359
I don't know, but I don't
want that either. No, that sounds

1725
01:49:10.359 --> 01:49:13.520
crazy. Is that like a curved
wrap around kind of thing or something?

1726
01:49:13.800 --> 01:49:17.000
Movie screens as I was saying with
aspect, But I mean, where would

1727
01:49:17.000 --> 01:49:19.439
you put that in the house?
What are you gonna watch on it?

1728
01:49:19.600 --> 01:49:24.520
Nothing? Right, nobody's ever gonna
make see games now. I guess maybe

1729
01:49:24.560 --> 01:49:27.039
that's what people said with four by
three, but I don't know. It

1730
01:49:27.079 --> 01:49:29.720
was a long time before you got
a sixteen by nine television at home.

1731
01:49:29.920 --> 01:49:34.000
Yeah, uh yeah, I don't
know. Uh, it's gonna come more

1732
01:49:34.039 --> 01:49:38.000
of these in here. Nick from
North Carolina, I was wondering, who

1733
01:49:38.079 --> 01:49:41.439
do you think bullet storms kind of
terrible attitude and sense of humor comes from

1734
01:49:41.479 --> 01:49:44.800
People Can Fly or Epic? All
the large scale space marine but cheese.

1735
01:49:44.840 --> 01:49:47.239
Most stuff seems distinctly epic, and
the over the top weapons and enemy design

1736
01:49:47.319 --> 01:49:51.199
is distinctly PCF. But the source
of all the edgy humor in betweens is

1737
01:49:51.239 --> 01:49:55.359
still a mystery to me. What
do you guys think? I work with

1738
01:49:55.399 --> 01:50:00.279
the theory that it started with people
can Fly and Epic. Just egg them

1739
01:50:00.319 --> 01:50:02.359
the hell on, like, no, make it crazier, make it crazy.

1740
01:50:02.359 --> 01:50:08.760
My understanding is that the original scripts
was out of PCF and had way

1741
01:50:08.760 --> 01:50:13.479
more cursing in it. Yeah,
almost like that. That canan Lynch style

1742
01:50:13.520 --> 01:50:18.119
thing of dudes who don't necessarily speak
a ton of English, right getting their

1743
01:50:18.159 --> 01:50:25.920
English on and you fuck stick you
in the mouth to you. I have

1744
01:50:25.960 --> 01:50:29.279
to say, I think she is
actually a decent character. Yeah, I

1745
01:50:29.359 --> 01:50:32.319
like. I like all the weird
like like warring for control between his human

1746
01:50:32.359 --> 01:50:36.640
brain and the computer stuff, and
some of the like have they fade the

1747
01:50:36.760 --> 01:50:40.479
they fade, like the weird robot
distortion on his voice in and out.

1748
01:50:41.359 --> 01:50:44.239
Yeah, that's kind of neat.
It is pretty cool, And that's gonna

1749
01:50:44.279 --> 01:50:53.600
do for emails and subsequently that's gonna
do it for this installment episode addition of

1750
01:50:53.640 --> 01:50:57.479
the Giant Podcast. How do you
guys feel about that? I'm pretty excited.

1751
01:50:57.479 --> 01:51:00.199
I give it. That just means
that that we're in gd SE.

1752
01:51:00.920 --> 01:51:03.479
Yeah, so g dc uh,
it's it's upon us. We got some

1753
01:51:03.479 --> 01:51:06.680
appointments lined up. We're going to
see more Batman, hopefully get an interview

1754
01:51:06.680 --> 01:51:11.479
of that. You think it is
playable in some form at there. I

1755
01:51:11.479 --> 01:51:14.359
don't know that they're gonna necessarily let
us play it, but we will be

1756
01:51:14.399 --> 01:51:16.800
closer to We'll be closer to the
screen and they I guess we will see

1757
01:51:16.840 --> 01:51:19.680
a little bit more of it than
we did at the Microsoft thing, and

1758
01:51:19.760 --> 01:51:24.439
they're gonna issue some video we're not
gonna be We're not gonna be taking our

1759
01:51:24.439 --> 01:51:28.239
own video of that game. We're
also going to see Moral Combat again.

1760
01:51:28.720 --> 01:51:31.439
It sounds like we're gonna sit down
with Ed Boone and we talk to him

1761
01:51:31.439 --> 01:51:40.279
a little bit as well. So
look for that. What else Twisted Metal

1762
01:51:41.000 --> 01:51:45.119
Metals, Infamous two still in the
books. Infamous two is tomorrow, Okay

1763
01:51:45.199 --> 01:51:47.960
today? Sometimes Jesus, what do
you figure out who's going to stuff?

1764
01:51:48.159 --> 01:51:53.239
Because like there's the All Day EA
thing where they're gonna be showing Kingdoms of

1765
01:51:53.319 --> 01:52:02.079
Bamalore, reckoning Rich Gallups, Kingdom
of the Sole Developer on that uh,

1766
01:52:02.119 --> 01:52:04.239
and then there's that so many stuff, so I don't know. We need

1767
01:52:04.279 --> 01:52:08.640
to figure out Charted three. Hopefully
Ryan will get unsick at some point because

1768
01:52:08.640 --> 01:52:12.520
I think we're going to need everybody
in here for this, especially if you're

1769
01:52:12.520 --> 01:52:15.960
getting sick. Yeah, and I'm
in this room breathing your air, and

1770
01:52:15.119 --> 01:52:18.319
I don't I can't tell if if
me being so hot right now is me

1771
01:52:18.760 --> 01:52:23.479
getting sick or just this room being
hot. It's pretty hot in here.

1772
01:52:23.560 --> 01:52:27.319
It's not just you. This week
sucks. Yeah, god damn well,

1773
01:52:27.319 --> 01:52:30.079
I'm gonna do the poker tournament to
Marrows sality fun. Yeah, the charity

1774
01:52:30.079 --> 01:52:34.000
poker tournament. Yeah, I bought
in for it. Yeah. Battlefield three,

1775
01:52:34.119 --> 01:52:36.720
Yeah, there's a Battlefield three event. They're not letting people play that

1776
01:52:36.760 --> 01:52:42.840
there. We know that much Infamous
two and Charted three. Yeah, your

1777
01:52:42.880 --> 01:52:46.520
own that seems like kind of a
big thing. The resistance stuff going there

1778
01:52:46.600 --> 01:52:53.039
is resistance to your own. Yeah, Okay, we might see Dead Island

1779
01:52:53.039 --> 01:52:57.800
at some point. Maybe I would
like to see Dead Island possibly coming full

1780
01:52:57.840 --> 01:53:00.079
circle for me three two thousand and
six. I would like to see it.

1781
01:53:00.159 --> 01:53:02.880
Yeah, tbd. Yeah, So
they're definitely gonna be games here.

1782
01:53:03.000 --> 01:53:05.920
It's it's the appointments are such that
I don't know that we'll make it to

1783
01:53:06.000 --> 01:53:10.880
the any of the talks. Kind
of a bummer. There's some stuff worth

1784
01:53:10.920 --> 01:53:15.319
seeing. There was exactly there was
a post mortem on super meat Boy today.

1785
01:53:15.680 --> 01:53:23.359
Oh really love Yeah, uh so, yeah, you're expect more from

1786
01:53:23.399 --> 01:53:26.960
us. We're gonna be trying to
rope people back here for some podcasts,

1787
01:53:27.159 --> 01:53:31.000
but I'm not sure, you know, it's like the kind of usual suspects

1788
01:53:31.119 --> 01:53:35.560
seems like they didn't A lot of
them didn't come into town. So we'll

1789
01:53:35.600 --> 01:53:39.279
be out there talking to talk,
seeing who we can drag back to our

1790
01:53:39.319 --> 01:53:43.319
bar and uh, you know,
beat information out of them and see we

1791
01:53:43.520 --> 01:53:45.880
make something happen. But I don't
know, keep checking out the site.

01:54:09.840 --> 01:54:14.960
a way to get us onto your
continent, assuming you live on one of

1797
01:54:15.000 --> 01:54:18.279
