1 00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:30,199 It's the Internet. You're busy, let's do this. Welcome to the Game 2 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,880 Mess Decides Podcast. This is the podcast where we decide everything about the world 3 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,679 of games, so you never have to think for yourself. I'm your host 4 00:00:36,759 --> 00:00:41,960 Jeff Grubb. With me is Mike Manati. In today's episode, we have 5 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:47,920 GTA six falling behind schedule, Gearbox getting sold again, and a white all 6 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,520 digital Xbox because who gives a fuck? We got plenty to talk about. 7 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,159 Actually, there's a whole bunch of news. We'll get through it actually relatively 8 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,479 quickly, and if you want to talk about it more, you let us 9 00:00:57,479 --> 00:00:59,719 know with a super chat or something. But first, Mike, how are 10 00:00:59,719 --> 00:01:03,679 you doing? Doing good? I'm excited. Our game today is we're going 11 00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:07,319 to do the mount rushmore of Capcom games, inspired by the recent release of 12 00:01:07,359 --> 00:01:11,000 Dragon's Dogma two. I think that's going to be fun. So I am 13 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,000 looking forward to that me too. Yeah, that was a good idea, 14 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,120 Mike. Yeah, yeah, genius, that's what I was trying to say. 15 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,239 That's saying here. It's a yeah, that'll be a lot of fun. 16 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,879 We'll get to that in the second half of the show. But yeah, 17 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,200 I mean, hey, we are pretty well removed from packs now it 18 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,200 does feel like a long time ago. And yeah, I'm like, oh, 19 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,599 I never really got a chance to recover because we worked all through the 20 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,680 weekend. So looking forward to this weekend. Yeah, you're right, it 21 00:01:36,719 --> 00:01:40,879 has been kind of NonStop. I got tortured in it Imri machine yesterday. 22 00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:45,560 I'm definitely looking forward to taking some time to relax a bit. Yeah, 23 00:01:45,599 --> 00:01:49,200 it's the plan. I'll take some time to relax, play some games, 24 00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:53,920 get ready for the eclipse because that's happening in the following basically, the following 25 00:01:53,959 --> 00:01:57,519 weekend will happen on the Monday after that. Clips related super chat later, 26 00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:00,599 Okay, fun. Yeah, So we're gonna make a big grocery run. 27 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,680 Apparently, like the city is like warning everybody in town how crazy it's gonna 28 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,000 be. I don't know, we'll see wow wow. Else now you all 29 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:15,439 come crawling to cleveland'll come crawling to Avon, Ohio. Apparently. Yeah, 30 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,120 it's uh, it's gonna be wild out there, but we're gonna get ready 31 00:02:17,159 --> 00:02:20,800 for it. And then I'm going to play a bunch of more Dragons Dogma 32 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,280 too, because that's a funny video game. Very stupid idea stuck in my 33 00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:25,680 head. I can't get rid of it. No one steal this. But 34 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,199 I think if I ever had to make a fictional world, I think it 35 00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:34,360 would just be a world where Ohio is the only land mass in the world 36 00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:38,159 and it's just Ohio, it's planet Ohio. I don't know what it would 37 00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:42,879 be beyond that. You're a You're worried someone's gonna steal this. Yeah, 38 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,400 oops, all Ohio? Perhaps call it? All right? Well that's pretty 39 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,479 good. I like that. I like that. I could probably be like 40 00:02:49,479 --> 00:02:53,599 an earthbound or something. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, I think 41 00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:59,080 that's a good idea. Thank you, spiritual successor to this one of your 42 00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:02,800 jokes. That's just the I actually think it's a good idea, So thank 43 00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:06,199 you. I agree it sounds fair. I'll tell you what. I tell 44 00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:08,560 you what. The big plot chwist the post credit scene is that Arguina pops 45 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:15,120 up from the water plating seeds.

Excuse, don't worry. Pretty good next week, Big topics. 70 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,560 Super tired, I'm also tired. Yes, yeah, exactly, Let's let's 71 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,639 sleep instead. Big topics plenty to talk about. Let's start here. GTA 72 00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:50,879 six may fall behind schedule. I mean, yeah, it's GTA. It's 73 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,079 twenty twenty four. All games are falling behind schedule. When they're that big, 74 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,839 it's going to be the biggest goddamn game ever made. When it comes 75 00:04:57,879 --> 00:05:00,879 out, they're going to take more time, and they think they than they 76 00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:04,480 originally thought they were going to take. This part of this is apparently rock 77 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,959 Star management wants people to return to the office full time, and people are 78 00:05:08,959 --> 00:05:12,319 like, I might quit instead, and so that's causing some tension as well. 79 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,240 Wouldn't that be more disruptive? Would it changing the way everyone's been working 80 00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:18,639 be a disruption? I don't understand how that's that is the argument that the 81 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,759 people who are being disrupted are making. They're saying exactly that, So yeah, 82 00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:28,720 I would think so. But you know, whatever this whether they're the 83 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,360 whether they're in the office, whether they're working remote, whether it's hybrid, 84 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,120 whether they do with what they're doing now, whether they change it, no 85 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,120 matter what, this game is going to be so big and so complicated that 86 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,519 it's going to require extra time. It's already sort of slipped out of what 87 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,879 they originally thought based on their previous guidance numbers for their fiscal year coming up. 88 00:05:46,319 --> 00:05:47,240 So now it's like, okay, it's not going to be any time 89 00:05:47,319 --> 00:05:51,079 before, you know, April twenty twenty five, and now that like that 90 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:56,600 seems unlikely and they are looking at the possibility of twenty twenty six. What 91 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,160 else is there to say other than they're going to take the time they need 92 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,000 because this game can't be messed up when it launches, right, No, 93 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,319 it cannot. Yeah, that would be that would be so rough for all 94 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,959 of take top, it'd be kind of rough for the gaming industry. You're 95 00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:15,240 humid as it is that we depend so much on this one game for growth 96 00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:20,319 we do. So, yeah, you absolutely can't risk a like mediocre launch 97 00:06:20,439 --> 00:06:25,360 on this one. It has to come out maybe firing on all cylinders right 98 00:06:25,399 --> 00:06:30,439 away. Some publishers question why they support Xbox as sales flatline in Europe. 99 00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:34,879 This is something that Chris Dring was hearing from publishers when he was at GDC, 100 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,839 and it seemed like mostly it was the publishers that focus on Europe or 101 00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:44,079 have big games that do well in Europe on other platforms. They were like, 102 00:06:44,079 --> 00:06:46,680 hey, we have PC, we have PS five, these things are 103 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,160 doing great, and then these games aren't selling on Xbox, so why do 104 00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:54,839 we even bother? That was the sentiment. I mean, another thing where 105 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,680 it's like, yeah, that sounds right to me now these days, A 106 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,720 part of that's just got to be people aren't excited to use their Xbox just 107 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,399 because there haven't been great exclusives. Right to me, it seems it's that 108 00:07:03,439 --> 00:07:05,839 simple. But I don't know, is there something else going on? I 109 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,439 mean that's part of it. I don't know. Xbox has been in a 110 00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:13,480 weird place for a while now. Phil Spencer did that interview Pauly Gone a 111 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,399 bit ago, kind of bemoaning the lack of growth, and you know, 112 00:07:15,439 --> 00:07:20,839 it was kind of a pessimistic tone from Phil Spencer again, so it's kind 113 00:07:20,839 --> 00:07:25,000 of like, man, what is going on over there? Was it was 114 00:07:25,079 --> 00:07:28,839 gay? I'm asking a citizen the lean question. I really don't know. 115 00:07:28,879 --> 00:07:31,839 I think maybe the answer probably is no. But was game Pass a mistake? 116 00:07:32,399 --> 00:07:39,959 Did this ultimately hurt Xbox in some way? I don't know, because 117 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,720 what was the alternative too, Because like they could have gone out and got 118 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,639 a bunch more exclusives by paying money and like paying to keep other games off 119 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,399 of other platforms. But when they did that, that was a huge thing. 120 00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:51,519 That was a huge deal, and people hated that. When they did 121 00:07:51,519 --> 00:07:56,000 that with tomb Raider, that backfired on them. And I don't I didn't 122 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,399 see that changing, like, oh, they just kept doing that, things 123 00:07:58,439 --> 00:08:00,959 would have got better. It's like, no, they would have always been. 124 00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:03,519 There have been a lot of players on PC and PlayStation that resented Microsoft 125 00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:05,879 for doing that. So I don't. They were kind of in a rock 126 00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:09,439 in a hard place where I don't think there was some great answer, and 127 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,639 I think game Pass was at least an idea that could have disrupted the industry. 128 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,720 It just feels like it's going to take a lot longer for that to 129 00:08:16,759 --> 00:08:20,040 do what it's supposed to do if it ever will, which doesn't seem like 130 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,399 a guarantee. I guess that was another thing Drings said is like Microsoft is 131 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,560 a less a little bit less emphasizing of game Pass right now. It's like, 132 00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:30,360 well, then, what the hell, what's the wrong Guess that was 133 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,000 kind of the whole thing, right right. I think they've looked and seem 134 00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:35,960 like it can only grow so much on console, and it's say, okay, 135 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,679 so we'll grow it elsewhere. Well, yeah, it's growing fast on 136 00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:41,679 PC because there's a lot less people using it on PC, people like that's 137 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:46,240 a steam based platform. But then okay, then where does it grow next? 138 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,799 Yeah, on phones, maybe on TVs. Maybe that doesn't seem like 139 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,600 it's really going to catch on though for quite some time. So yeah, 140 00:08:54,639 --> 00:08:56,279 I think they're looking at the numbers and be like, this thing is going 141 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:01,279 to be stuck around at most forty millions tobscribers and getting over that hump of 142 00:09:01,399 --> 00:09:05,200 getting it to like a point where it can grow fast from that point is 143 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,919 a challenge that they have yet to figure out how to solve. So yeah, 144 00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:13,039 uh, maybe they couldn't have predicted that. So in that then I 145 00:09:13,039 --> 00:09:16,200 think in that light, maybe game Pass wasn't the best idea, but I 146 00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:18,840 again, I don't know what the alternative. They had to take a swing, 147 00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:22,080 and it obviously seemed like a good swing, and like it is a 148 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,679 like, you know, to be clear, game Past is great, It's 149 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,960 good. I think everyone else game Pass like said, but has it helped 150 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,679 Xbox's business? I mean, because we see where everybody is with streaming, 151 00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:37,759 right, everybody pivoted to streaming, and it doesn't seem like it solved many 152 00:09:37,799 --> 00:09:41,759 problems over on the entertainment side. And I guess you know a lot that 153 00:09:41,879 --> 00:09:45,559 is carrying over a bit on the gaming side as well, at least when 154 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,519 it pertains to Xbox and game Pass. It definitely is not some silver bullet. 155 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,679 I think. I told you you've learned from all these different companies trying 156 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,320 this. You know, some are doing better than others. It sounds it 157 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,519 seems like, you know, Disney Plus that is growing. It's growing a 158 00:09:58,639 --> 00:10:03,480 faster enough that it's it's shareholders are pretty happy with it. Things like that. 159 00:10:03,879 --> 00:10:09,320 But yeah, I think that that being the answer to all their problems. 160 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,120 And once you have one of these that has a certain number of subscribers, 161 00:10:11,159 --> 00:10:13,279 it's like, Okay, well that's that. Now we've solved our problems. 162 00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:16,440 It's like, now, clearly that's not how it's gonna work. You 163 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,440 know, I was gonna let's hit through some of these I have, like 164 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,120 some like a bigger, like meta conversation I want to have with you in 165 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,639 the news. I think, so just let's there's an all white, all 166 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,600 digital Xbox. They are. It's kind of something that we've had rumored for 167 00:10:31,639 --> 00:10:33,679 a while now, but it's actually gonna happen. It seems like it's gonna 168 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,600 happen this summer based on the leaks, and then they might have some other 169 00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:41,320 hardware surprises later this year. I you know, I'm not gonna get shell 170 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:46,000 out for what is already the Xbox Series X that I have exactly the same 171 00:10:46,039 --> 00:10:48,720 thing, just because it's all digital. Even if it has more storage, 172 00:10:48,279 --> 00:10:52,639 that's not really necessary for me. I actually I wonder, like, what 173 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,919 is the point of this thing, because apparently they're gonna also lower the price 174 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,080 on it, which of course they have to because it's not it has fewer 175 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,320 features, right, doesn't have a drive. I don't know, this just 176 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,559 seems especially unexciting to me. I don't know, what do you think? 177 00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:07,960 Yeah, Like, I mean, is the point here to phase out the 178 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,159 Series S, which would be a little bit surprising because really, I'm not 179 00:11:13,159 --> 00:11:16,399 gonna bes right, this is gonna be like four to fifty problems. So 180 00:11:16,639 --> 00:11:20,039 yeah, I guess I just don't know if, like the inswer of Microsoft 181 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:24,720 problems is a third tier uh with this thing? So, I mean it's 182 00:11:24,759 --> 00:11:26,480 kind of like a fourth tier, right because they also have that Xbox Series 183 00:11:26,639 --> 00:11:30,960 S with more storage. Oh right, right, you're right, yeah, 184 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,919 so's Yeah, it's getting a little confusing already. I don't know, like 185 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,840 new hardware, so weird. There were reports about what the Plastation five pro 186 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,080 being shown to developers at Games Common, like maybe the prevailing fought from them 187 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:46,399 was what is this? What's the point of this? Yes, exactly, 188 00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:50,039 So that's uh right, We're in a weird situation with a lot of this 189 00:11:50,039 --> 00:11:52,440 stuff where I think developers are kind of looking around being like, huh, 190 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,200 I don't know if we need this. And and then I think for the 191 00:11:54,320 --> 00:12:01,600 Xbox Series X All Digital Edition, I don't know how they position that in 192 00:12:01,639 --> 00:12:03,639 the market. I think that's where I'm at. I get kind of where 193 00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:07,600 the PS five pro fits, where it's Hey, it's more powerful, and 194 00:12:07,639 --> 00:12:09,440 so we get charge more for it, and the freaks out there that like 195 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,799 buy anything we put out are gonna want that. I don't know, the 196 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,200 same doesn't necessarily necessarily apply to something that's like we're removing the disk drive and 197 00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:22,440 otherwise it's the same thing, even if it has more storage. I don't 198 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,399 think the freaks show up for something like that, you know, and I 199 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,200 count myself among the freaks there. It's a term of endearmor No, I 200 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,080 don't. It definitely doesn't seem like it's sort of something that anyone who already 201 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,679 has an Xbox Series xally. I guess it's got to be for neither adopters, 202 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,120 which should be clear is what they need. They need more new adopters 203 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,720 of the Xbox Series ecosystem. So I guess I get it from that sense. 204 00:12:41,759 --> 00:12:45,320 We have to have some kind of new SKW that's maybe going to peel 205 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:50,039 to more people, and I don't know. Maybe I don't know the thing 206 00:12:50,039 --> 00:12:52,200 about being like the all digital version is that all that really means is that 207 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:58,039 you're losing a feature and it's a bit cheaper. It's not necessarily an exciting 208 00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:01,279 thing, right, right, compromise really, and it's a compromise a lot 209 00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:03,039 of people are happy to make because like, yeah, I don't want to 210 00:13:03,039 --> 00:13:07,519 I'm not buying physical media anymore anyway, so that's fine. But again, 211 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,799 it's not something that's going to really get people running through the aisles. Yeah, 212 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,919 and I suppose it's like it looks shiny and new on store shelves over 213 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,279 the holidays, but I don't know how much that moves the needle these days. 214 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,039 Toys for Bob, that game that they're making with Microsoft after leaving Microsoft 215 00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:28,080 and getting their independence, turns out it is very likely spirro. Oh and 216 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,279 the Canadian guy a which I think is his name is a YouTuber who does 217 00:13:31,279 --> 00:13:37,039 a lot of spiral and crash content, got this information said they're they're referring 218 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,240 to it as Spiro for Fantastic. That's I haven't heard this. That is 219 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,519 exactly what they should do, Toys Bob. You would feel that way. 220 00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:46,960 That's how I feel as well. If you're going to do something that's in 221 00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:52,120 existing property that you know isn't I don't think they could have done Banjo Kazuo. 222 00:13:52,159 --> 00:13:54,759 They probably have someone else working on that. This is where they should 223 00:13:54,759 --> 00:13:58,799 be working Spiral for is a great idea, all right. They did the 224 00:13:58,799 --> 00:14:03,039 Spiral rematrol Gy that was fantastic, and then they did an incredible job of 225 00:14:03,159 --> 00:14:07,799 Crash for. They may be even better suited for Spiral for. It's Spiro's 226 00:14:07,799 --> 00:14:09,720 fun because Spiral is always a bit more of the open one. It's closer 227 00:14:09,759 --> 00:14:13,480 to Ma Mario sixty four than Crash is. For sure. I think that 228 00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:18,320 a modern spiral game could absolutely kill. And I've been saying this, What 229 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,759 I think what Xbox needs is more games that appeal to, like, you 230 00:14:22,799 --> 00:14:26,039 know, not only a younger audience, but can appeal to a younger audience. 231 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,919 So I think that's a home run to me, that is. I 232 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,000 think that's the smartest thing Xbox has done a while. I still find it 233 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,720 a whole weird how they got to sell twice for Bob and then contract them 234 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,559 to do this. I don't know why they're not just doing this as an 235 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:45,159 Xbox studio, but whatever. That's That's the other new trend now is everybody 236 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,600 just selling off their studios, which is fantastic. Yeah, I mean, 237 00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:52,360 speaking of that, I have this like industry shakeups like run Down here Take 238 00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:58,039 two now owns Gearbox Relic buys its way out of Sega. Nintendo ended the 239 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,440 contracts of a bunch of testers in a way apparently primarily due to not having 240 00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:07,919 a lot of new games coming out to test in the first place. Okay, 241 00:15:07,559 --> 00:15:11,279 I mean we'll start, like, you know, start with like take 242 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,840 To buying Gearbox. That's yeah. Another thing where it's like, okay, 243 00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:18,200 with all things kind of shaking out in the industry, that's another one. 244 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,600 It's like that Embracers looking to sell Gearbox take To can't afford Gearbox to go 245 00:15:22,679 --> 00:15:26,840 someplace where that would cause trouble for them to put out more Borderlands games. 246 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,120 Of course, they just shelled out the four hundred and sixty million dollars in 247 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,360 stock to pick them up so they can keep making border Lands games. And 248 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,919 making Borderlands games is what they've confirmed they're doing. They're making a sequel, 249 00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:41,679 likely Borderlands for a tiny team is Wonderland is also apparently on the on like 250 00:15:41,679 --> 00:15:46,159 the docket for them to do. Those games have been doing better and better. 251 00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:50,879 Despite it's like I think they're in that situation where people in our like 252 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,519 sphere talk about them a little bit less. A little bit less I think 253 00:15:52,559 --> 00:15:56,440 with the general audience there like very they're more popular than ever, so then 254 00:15:56,519 --> 00:16:00,000 returning to that makes a ton of sense, and Take to just can't afford 255 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,799 not to have that available to them. So yeah, not surprised that happened. 256 00:16:03,039 --> 00:16:06,399 Yeah, no, it makes a ton of sense. I think it's 257 00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:08,679 gonna be good for Take two and for Gearbox. Did you see like the 258 00:16:08,759 --> 00:16:11,879 key art image of Take two, like they had like, yeah, a 259 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,159 picture for a borders, but also of Duke Nukem. I'm like, really, 260 00:16:15,159 --> 00:16:19,759 are you you really gonna evoke Duke? I yes, Gearbox sounds Duke 261 00:16:19,799 --> 00:16:22,559 Nukem right now. And I think Grandy Pictuck's proud of Duke Nukem. Yeah, 262 00:16:22,559 --> 00:16:26,720 I think it's proud of owning Duke Nukem. I think that if a 263 00:16:26,759 --> 00:16:30,000 new Duke Nukem game came out, no matter what direction it went in, 264 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,559 it would start a cultural like is it either like just really make a Duke 265 00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:38,559 Nukem game and that's gonna be a problem, or they make like like the 266 00:16:38,679 --> 00:16:45,879 kind of like self Aware's gonna be a problem to some people. So it's 267 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,639 just not let's just not touch that character act Duke Dukam as a BoJack Horseman 268 00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:53,639 video game sort of thing would be fantastic, right, But you're right, 269 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,440 like people would like what he's he has feelings now, like I were saying, 270 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,000 guy of Duke Nukem to like only care about tits and shooting pigs. 271 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,039 Look, I didn't play the video game, but I saw the guys feelings 272 00:17:07,039 --> 00:17:10,480 about how what he did before was bad and that's not the one I played, 273 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,759 So yeah, that would be the whole thing. Baby worked on this. 274 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,480 It just, you know, this whole thing just really weirds me out. 275 00:17:15,519 --> 00:17:18,759 And I know that you know, exacts don't know what's going on, 276 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,680 but they just see it. So suddenly shift from a few years ago where 277 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:27,720 it was just bye bye bye, acquire flag flire, immediately sell sell or 278 00:17:27,799 --> 00:17:33,200 clothes, Like gosh, it's terrifying. It's terrifying that these people are in 279 00:17:33,279 --> 00:17:37,279 charge and they cannot, you know, see further than the next quarter. 280 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,559 And that's just where we're at. That's why we are here. Yeah, 281 00:17:41,599 --> 00:17:44,519 Okay, So a couple other headlines. Developers also don't know why they need 282 00:17:44,599 --> 00:17:48,799 PS five pro. We talked a little bit about that. Yes, Marvel 283 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,160 Rivals we got confirmed. Yeah, and at Ease is making their own Overwatch 284 00:17:53,200 --> 00:18:00,240 sixty six again a third person, I don't know, Marvel heroes like the 285 00:18:00,519 --> 00:18:04,519 Marvel five person. You know what, part of part of like super fatigue 286 00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:07,839 is really just that I see these characters and I have a hard time feeling 287 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,960 things anymore. Yeah, And in most cases sometimes that's different, like you 288 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,960 know, like like X Men ninety seven the right presentation, like yeah, 289 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:22,240 that actually looks interesting, but another like another masshup thing and here we go. 290 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,000 I mean, let's be clear, if this game would have hit in 291 00:18:25,079 --> 00:18:29,039 twenty fifteen, sure like they would have hit like a year after Overwatch, 292 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,799 Like when that what was that seventeen twenty sixteen? Okay, so like what 293 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,839 was the we got that one from the team that made that God mobile game, 294 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,559 Palatin Palate Palate Paladins. Right, if instead of Paladins we would have 295 00:18:41,559 --> 00:18:44,519 got this game at that time, I think this would have done pretty well. 296 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,000 Now it just feels like so outdated on both what it's copying in terms 297 00:18:49,039 --> 00:18:53,920 of the games gameplay style and the Marvel heroes being sort of out of fashion 298 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,680 for the moment. I don't know, it's very easy to be negative, 299 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,559 it's very easy to be dismissive of this game. I'll play it, we'll 300 00:19:03,599 --> 00:19:06,640 see. If it's fun, I might play it some more. I'm just 301 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,559 not buzzing for it in any real way. No, you know, I'm 302 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,000 that eas for you to play. That makes me skeptical and in a lot 303 00:19:14,039 --> 00:19:15,920 of ways. So I think we'll see, like because there's a you know, 304 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,880 there's a part of me that miss is Overwatch for sure, But I 305 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,680 just don't know some like I really don't know some other companies just gonna come 306 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,680 and make their own overall Watch. I don't know. So many weird accidents 307 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,519 had to happen for Overwatch to be what it was that I think it's pretty 308 00:19:30,519 --> 00:19:34,079 hard to just replicate that. In the end. The game looks and the 309 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,720 game looks pretty like the Marvels. The character designs that are cool. So 310 00:19:40,079 --> 00:19:42,799 yeah, the character designs look better than like something out of the Marbles Avengers 311 00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:48,200 game from Square for sure. Yeah, Like the characters look like they were 312 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:52,160 actually designed by artists. And I think, you know, iron Man doing 313 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,960 an attack just like Pharah, you know what, I thought that looked pretty 314 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,480 cool? Sure? Why not like that? Like there were some deeper pools 315 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,079 and that's my Some charactersn't even Reckonie And I'm like, oh, these actually 316 00:20:00,079 --> 00:20:03,279 look cool. I would like to learn more about them. So right, 317 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,119 sure, if you have a lady Black this that could step on all of 318 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:12,079 us at once. So finally not Dan, So you know, I'll give 319 00:20:12,079 --> 00:20:15,079 it a shot, but it is it's hard to I'm not I would have 320 00:20:15,079 --> 00:20:19,519 bet on it, right. And then the one I want to talk about 321 00:20:19,519 --> 00:20:22,680 before we talk about the kind of this bigger story, Resident Evil nine could 322 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:27,759 be Open World. I am at a point where Capcom kind of gets a 323 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,680 chance to do what they want. I brought this up when we first talked 324 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,160 about it. I think Dan said something similar when I brought up on the 325 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:38,319 BombCast. Resident Evil changes up. You know, every handful of games they 326 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,000 change up the formula, and that has only benefited the series. I think 327 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,480 the switch from three to four was right. I think the switch from six 328 00:20:45,559 --> 00:20:49,119 to seven was well, was very much needed at that point. So you 329 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,240 know, we got seven eight in that style and then going to nine and 330 00:20:53,279 --> 00:20:56,319 having to be open World. I also think, hey, that's you're not 331 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,359 waiting for the next one to kind of be dominant diminishing returns kind of similar 332 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,400 to what happened with God of War, Right, They're gonna go out God 333 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,000 War twenty eighteen, then Ragnarok, and it's like, we're not gonna do 334 00:21:06,039 --> 00:21:07,960 a third one that's gonna be People be like, ah, yeah, but 335 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,640 it's more of the same and that's really bad. This time. It's like, 336 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,359 no, we're just gonna change things up again. Here we are there. 337 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:17,319 They have Residuval nine. They have the reach for the Moon engine that 338 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,200 can do open world now that we've seen with Dragons Dogma obviously needs some improvements, 339 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,160 but they can do it. So that's what they're gonna do with Residubal 340 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,559 nine. I am, I think pretty excited for this, Mike. I 341 00:21:27,599 --> 00:21:32,920 don't blame anyone who is a traditional as a residuebal fan for being maybe hesitant. 342 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,000 They also making the The Master Hunter, whiles that that game is all 343 00:21:37,079 --> 00:21:41,200 right, but that one just makes perfect sense to me, right, that's 344 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,920 like this the most obvious thing in the world. Of course, hard to 345 00:21:45,039 --> 00:21:48,920 open world with all the like the franchises, right and apparently so, yes, 346 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:49,799 that's a good point. Bring that up though, it's like they do 347 00:21:49,839 --> 00:21:52,359 these things in threes as well. Internally, that's what Dus Gollum, the 348 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,960 person who broke this rumor said. So when they started making Drags and Dragons 349 00:21:56,039 --> 00:21:59,640 Dogma two. Part of that was like, Okay, that's gonna be open 350 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,680 world, and then the part of that technology will go into Monster Hunter a 351 00:22:03,799 --> 00:22:08,400 Wild and then also Resident Evil nine, and those would be the three games 352 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,000 that we make in this style, and then from there we could break it 353 00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:15,799 off and do like three more Resident Evil games or two more RESI receival games 354 00:22:15,839 --> 00:22:18,279 based on that. But yes, that's what they're doing. I mean some 355 00:22:18,319 --> 00:22:21,960 of the words like what, okay, what do we mean by open world 356 00:22:22,039 --> 00:22:23,839 here, because like you know, like Resident Evil eight is kind of a 357 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:29,240 hub and spoke thing where it's to me it means more than that, and 358 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,799 to me that means something much closer to Dragon I mean Dragons Dogma two. 359 00:22:33,839 --> 00:22:34,960 I think it's going to be open world, but in the way the Dragons 360 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,400 Dogma two is open world. Yes, I think that's what they're trying to 361 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,279 say. I would almost like it more if it was like a city open 362 00:22:41,319 --> 00:22:42,680 world thing, but I think that's a great idea too. Of course, 363 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,319 I think you're probably right. You know again, Yeah, I'll see what 364 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,559 it is. I think I'm good with the main series doing that. Look, 365 00:22:49,559 --> 00:22:52,319 we're still going to get these remakes that are going to be these more 366 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:59,519 like super polish, more linear things that might be more my style in the 367 00:22:59,559 --> 00:23:02,200 long run. But I guess I'm curious to see what the take here is. 368 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,599 But absolutely I'm glad they're not doing another Resident Evil Village. I liked 369 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:11,079 Village. I think that that kind of already ran through those ideas pretty well. 370 00:23:12,039 --> 00:23:17,799 Yeah, we'll see again. It's Capcom. They're on a heater kind 371 00:23:17,799 --> 00:23:21,079 of let them I'm gonna let them cook, is where I'm at with Capcom 372 00:23:21,079 --> 00:23:25,000 these days. Then cook with FMB. Let them cook with FMB. That's 373 00:23:25,079 --> 00:23:30,079 right, full meat video, all right. So, like remember, like 374 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,839 in twenty twelve and twenty eleven, we were to talk about like, oh 375 00:23:33,839 --> 00:23:37,079 my god, consoles are dead, and it's it's because of mobile games and 376 00:23:37,079 --> 00:23:40,359 we're gonna go like free to play and then and that's only one's gonna play 377 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,279 and it's gonna just and developers are only going to focus on that because it's 378 00:23:44,279 --> 00:23:47,079 such a big return on their investment and we're worried about all these things, 379 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,480 and people were freaking out and uh, and it felt like it was kind 380 00:23:49,519 --> 00:23:52,279 of the end of the world. And the consoles came out and they did. 381 00:23:52,319 --> 00:23:53,960 Fine, does part of you feel like, man, a lot of 382 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:59,039 those concerns that people had back then about like the slippery slope arguments, like 383 00:23:59,079 --> 00:24:03,119 we're kind of there in a lot of ways with with you know, Oh, 384 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,839 there's five games that people spend sixty percent of their total playtime on, 385 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,240 Like sixty percent of all the games that are being played in a day are 386 00:24:11,279 --> 00:24:15,000 spent on these five games. And how do like, I don't know, 387 00:24:15,079 --> 00:24:17,279 are we gonna be in this rut for a long time or do you think 388 00:24:17,279 --> 00:24:19,519 there's a chance that we bounce out of it relatively quickly? Are we sort 389 00:24:19,519 --> 00:24:22,640 of at the end of gaming as we know? It might not to be 390 00:24:22,839 --> 00:24:26,839 you know, controversial, that's like the I mean, that's definitely like the 391 00:24:26,079 --> 00:24:30,839 big fear, like the worscust scenario. I like to hope not, you 392 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,920 know, I think there are a lot of challenges because so much of it 393 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,599 is just people following one step and not thinking it out. Like everybody like, 394 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,720 well, we all need to make a big live service game. So 395 00:24:40,759 --> 00:24:44,279 everybody like bakes a bunch and then some of them hit. Then those few 396 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,039 that hit now take up like you said, like sixty percent of all gaming, 397 00:24:48,519 --> 00:24:49,559 and you know, well, we have to support these games forever. 398 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,480 Well, okay, but obviously these people are going to be less inclined to 399 00:24:53,559 --> 00:24:57,599 buy new games, right Did anybody think about that? And it seems like 400 00:24:57,599 --> 00:25:02,960 the ANSWER's sort of no. So I think what's scaring me even more is 401 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,680 the conversion of kind of younger and younger audiences. And that goes a bit 402 00:25:06,759 --> 00:25:11,920 back to the mobile thing. Are our kids these days when they turn you 403 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,119 know, twelve or thirteen, are as many of them asking to kind of 404 00:25:15,599 --> 00:25:19,720 you know, upgrade to big home consoles like they used to? Or are 405 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,799 they just like, what are you talking about? I could already play all 406 00:25:22,839 --> 00:25:26,960 the games I want to on my iPad or on my home computer or on 407 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:33,079 my phone. So that's the thing that's maybe worrying me the most. There's 408 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,279 a bunch of different challenges right now. And the fact that there's challenges aren't 409 00:25:37,319 --> 00:25:41,279 new, aren't isn't like this this whole problem. I'm worried about the industry's 410 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:49,279 current capabilities to rise to those challenges. Yeah, it's because the industry has 411 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,920 always been, you know, questionably risk averse, like they've always been. 412 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:59,720 It's always been my Hey, when there is headwinds we buckle down and we 413 00:25:59,759 --> 00:26:03,240 get maybe we do like stop making those kinds of games because we're afraid that 414 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,039 they're not going to do well. And at this point, it feels like 415 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,519 if they were to look at the data in front of them, you could 416 00:26:08,519 --> 00:26:11,720 see how some of these companies decide well, making new games at all is 417 00:26:11,799 --> 00:26:15,440 kind of risky and maybe we shouldn't be doing that at all. It's okay, 418 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,279 how can that be the answer. But it's because that you spelled it 419 00:26:21,319 --> 00:26:22,960 out and that interview with Phil Spencer. You know, one of the things 420 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,880 he said is gen Z is guiding how they're deciding what they're going to do, 421 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,400 and it's like that's the reason they want to put Xbox games everywhere. 422 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,480 It's because what you said, they expect the game to be in front of 423 00:26:33,519 --> 00:26:36,240 them where they're at, and if it's not there, it's not like, 424 00:26:36,599 --> 00:26:38,599 well then I got to go get the platform to play that. It's just 425 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,880 dead to them. They don't even consider it as something they're going to do 426 00:26:42,079 --> 00:26:45,960 because it's gonna It's like, hey, I have TikTok on my phone, 427 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,079 I have Rowblocks on my phone, I have Minecraft, I have Call of 428 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,039 Duty, I got Fortnite I have all these things right here, and I 429 00:26:52,079 --> 00:26:55,440 can go from game to game to game, apt apt app and hang out 430 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,680 with my friends the entire time, seamlessly. And if you are not part 431 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,079 of that that sort of flow, you are not even like in their consideration. 432 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,119 So that's why Microsoft's well, we have to be there. That's where 433 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:12,079 we need to We need to insert ourselves into that market. And okay, 434 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,799 yeah, but there's also no guarantee that you're gonna, like, you're gonna 435 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,440 be able to bring new stuff to them. They are they already. Here's 436 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,319 what I'm worried about. It's like sports. At a certain point, we 437 00:27:23,519 --> 00:27:29,519 just stopped getting new sports. There was golf, baseball, soccer, hockey, 438 00:27:29,519 --> 00:27:32,039 football, And if you try to put out a new sport today, 439 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,480 if you're not pickoball like the first new sport in like fifty years that anyone's 440 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,680 given a shit about, and it's like that's only old people and like the 441 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,319 people who have bad hips, you're fucked. And it's like, is that 442 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,599 where video games are? Because right now that's where it feels like video games 443 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:52,359 are this very moment. And I've always been hopeful that games have been able 444 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,640 to constantly innovate, and that's been their strength. But maybe that's just been 445 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,039 a byproduct of it being a young industry. I remember where it used to 446 00:28:00,039 --> 00:28:03,160 feel like it'd be so fresh to get a new ip. Now, even 447 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:10,720 just getting a sequel, a new release of some kind feels fresh genera Wow, 448 00:28:10,759 --> 00:28:12,920 are you kidding me? That's feasting right. It's like, oh wow, 449 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,960 it's not just a new season of Fortnite or a new anime collapse with 450 00:28:18,079 --> 00:28:22,400 some other free service game. Yeah, I don't know. I mean it's 451 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:30,160 for a long time. I think the normal state of video games was that 452 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,319 it always changes, like it's always got a year from now, everyone's going 453 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,880 to feel different and the hot thing is going to be so much different than 454 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,000 what it was what was hot two years ago. And that's why, like 455 00:28:40,039 --> 00:28:45,880 in the shooter genre, we went from GoldenEye to to Counterstrike to Halo to 456 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,359 Call of Duty to Fortnite to PUBG to all these different things just bang bang 457 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:55,559 extraction shooters, and eventually one of them just gets big enough that even like, 458 00:28:55,559 --> 00:28:57,720 okay, well yeah, extraction shooters came by, and Fortnite's now still 459 00:28:57,799 --> 00:29:00,759 just even bigger than it's ever been. And it's like, is Fortnite just 460 00:29:00,759 --> 00:29:04,799 going to keep getting bigger and swallowing up the possibility space for something new to 461 00:29:04,799 --> 00:29:10,200 come along. Where I'm standing right now, it feels that way. I 462 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:15,039 hope in three years we look back and we remember this conversation and we go 463 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,319 remember how worried we were, where we were a bunch of dumb bitches for 464 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,759 thinking that the games weren't going to bounce back. But as where it stands 465 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,960 right now, I'm more concerned than I have been in a very long time. 466 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,119 Right, I know, I already seeing cause the chat I'm surging it 467 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,279 more like, Wow, you guys be so pessimistic, it's so negative, 468 00:29:30,759 --> 00:29:36,400 right, Probably, I hope, so, I hope, so yeah, 469 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,000 I don't know, things just seem things. Like I said, there are 470 00:29:40,079 --> 00:29:45,079 a lot of different challenges happening right now. In so far, the solutions 471 00:29:45,119 --> 00:29:49,839 that I am seeing from leadership of just either laying people off or selling off 472 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:55,519 studios, making fewer games, you know, doing this and that, though 473 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,680 they don't seem great, it doesn't seem like it's setting us up for the 474 00:29:57,759 --> 00:30:02,559 future. And again, like the things that we are depending on are like 475 00:30:02,759 --> 00:30:07,319 one big game like Thotal six. Well, okay, that's gonna come out 476 00:30:07,359 --> 00:30:10,799 and then like, what do we do next year, because nobody's gonna be 477 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,480 like, well, that's okay, Grathathal six came out, that'll hold us 478 00:30:12,519 --> 00:30:18,319 for the next eight years. Of course not so then what right, it's 479 00:30:18,319 --> 00:30:21,640 all I gotta make that money for one of the companies anyways, right, 480 00:30:22,039 --> 00:30:23,880 Yes, I mean it's gonna go to the you know, to xbox, 481 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,920 the places where they give sword and steam, but generally it's it's not gonna 482 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:33,880 exactly get spread all over the entire industry like Pixie does, right, and 483 00:30:33,079 --> 00:30:37,240 uh, you know, GTA six comes along, makes a lot of money, 484 00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:40,400 and they don't put out a new GTA for at least ten years after 485 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,000 that. I'm of the opinion they won't put out a new GTA like at 486 00:30:44,079 --> 00:30:47,480 least fifteen years after that. Like that's what we're looking at, Like, 487 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,240 that's what we're looking down the barrel if they've already been about that long since 488 00:30:51,319 --> 00:30:55,599 GTA five to now, right, and that it might take that much longer 489 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:56,839 for it to come out, might be fifteen years by the time it's all 490 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:02,759 said and done between GTA five and GTA And okay, so yeah, GA 491 00:31:02,839 --> 00:31:04,480 six might come out and make a ton of money. But that's not some 492 00:31:04,599 --> 00:31:07,400 answer to what we're talking about here. The answer might it continues to be 493 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,599 and this is what we always say when we have these conversations or conversations along 494 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,240 these lines, that it will be the independent games stepping up more and more 495 00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:21,880 and more. But that's like, that's not the video game industry. That's 496 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,519 like the like, and you know, I think that's where I'm like, 497 00:31:23,559 --> 00:31:26,079 that's where I'm at. The video game industry as we know it is just 498 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,440 kind of fizzling out, and it's and it's going to leave the remains that 499 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,759 will be picked apart by a bunch of people who do this because they have 500 00:31:33,799 --> 00:31:36,519 a lot of great artistic ideas and they want to make games because they have 501 00:31:36,599 --> 00:31:37,960 these ideas and they have to get them out there. And thankfully they do 502 00:31:38,039 --> 00:31:42,799 have some platforms where they can succeed, but most independent games do not. 503 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,920 The vast majority of it is like ninety eight percent go out and they do 504 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:52,160 nothing and the two percent breakthrough, and you know, and I feel like 505 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,000 that's not going to last forever either if there isn't this robust, wider industry 506 00:31:56,039 --> 00:32:00,680 sort of inspiring all this, all these ideas it's very easy to be pessimistic 507 00:32:00,759 --> 00:32:04,240 right now. I guess is where again I'm saying, like more chat like 508 00:32:04,279 --> 00:32:07,680 I don't know, like, oh I does Why do you think everything has 509 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,279 to really on GT six? It's not what I think, It's not what 510 00:32:10,359 --> 00:32:15,640 Jeff thinks. I agree, there are tons of great video games coming out, 511 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,200 but the way that the system is set up, and Phil Spencer said 512 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,519 this in the interview with Polygon is the only thing that matters is growth. 513 00:32:23,039 --> 00:32:28,319 And Phil's bart saying there isn't growth right now, and there wasn't growth in 514 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,799 a year last year where we had one of the best slates of video games 515 00:32:32,119 --> 00:32:37,039 ever. So what changes? And I guess, like that's what I'm curious 516 00:32:37,079 --> 00:32:39,519 with people who maybe think we're being pessimistic. And I hope so, like, 517 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:45,839 does it just grow again suddenly? Because is there something on the horizon 518 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:51,759 that is really shifting all of this? I would love to, I guess 519 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,880 understand what the big turning points? You know, sometimes the market is actually 520 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:59,920 just like that. Sometimes it really does just shift anyways, And I hope 521 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:04,720 So, I guess there's no there's no harm in being cautious about this and 522 00:33:05,079 --> 00:33:08,960 being a little bit worried about it exactly. I think we're just trying to 523 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:13,160 like hash it out. You know. I've gone back and forth on like 524 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,680 my my, you know, on the pessimism optimism meter, and it's like, 525 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,000 you know, just a little bit of like a downside right now. 526 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,559 When I'm like really looking at all these numbers, I think, I you 527 00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:23,920 know, Matt Pisktel put out his thing where it's like this year is going 528 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:28,240 to be down about two percent to ten percent at the worst case scenario, 529 00:33:28,279 --> 00:33:30,319 and that's a pretty big drop, you know, year to year. But 530 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,480 you know, we're not going to have stuff like Zelda, We're not gonna 531 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,119 have stuff like that Harry Potter game. So yeah, it's a tough comparison. 532 00:33:36,519 --> 00:33:39,519 The thing that really does get me though, is the sixty percent of 533 00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:44,920 playtime spent on five different games. That's where it's like, if we are 534 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:51,680 in that stagnation where this the black hole sucks in everything, I don't know 535 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,559 how big companies can continue to justify investment in new games. And they are 536 00:33:55,680 --> 00:34:00,680 they were already afraid of investing in new games because they were risky, risky 537 00:34:00,839 --> 00:34:05,559 even before this was the case that was happening in like twenty fourteen and fifteen 538 00:34:05,599 --> 00:34:08,119 and sixteen, before stuff like Fortnite was really taken off, even before GTA 539 00:34:08,159 --> 00:34:14,239 Online was the behemoth that it slowly became over those years, they were hesitant. 540 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,119 I mean Xbox, I think was notorious for this at that time, 541 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,639 where they're just say, hey, we are afraid to make new games because 542 00:34:19,639 --> 00:34:22,519 we see how much time you guys are spending on destiny. But hey, 543 00:34:22,599 --> 00:34:25,159 yeah, it's we're going to try this game pass thing and see if that 544 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:30,880 works. So now that we are living in the world where that worst case 545 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:35,760 scenario of can you put out something and get attention it has come true. 546 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,079 I just think that these big companies are going to kind of go running. 547 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,480 And you know, I don't think video games are ever going to go away, 548 00:34:42,519 --> 00:34:45,840 of course not. I just wonder just how much could it change. 549 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,000 May maybe it's not going to change much at all. And I see someone 550 00:34:49,039 --> 00:34:51,079 else saying, oh, we need we don't need growth, it needs to 551 00:34:51,079 --> 00:34:53,559 building your revenue. We should just needs to build your revenue. But again, 552 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:59,639 like with this system where investors are involved, the only thing investors want 553 00:34:59,679 --> 00:35:04,000 to see ninety nine percent of time is growth, and if there isn't, 554 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,039 they're going to lose stock value. When they lose stock value, they are 555 00:35:07,039 --> 00:35:12,159 going to lay people off and cancel projects. Yeah. I mean, you 556 00:35:12,199 --> 00:35:17,199 know, Sony PlayStation's been growing, they have been growing fast enough. Ye 557 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:21,559 Like that's and they have delay people off, right, and so like they 558 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,920 lay people off because they weren't growing fast enough. Yes, ideally we could 559 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,519 be in a world where it's just hey, you made as much money as 560 00:35:29,559 --> 00:35:30,760 last year, We'll employ the same number of last year. We'll take care 561 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,920 of our employees. We don't live in that system. So that's that's where, 562 00:35:35,039 --> 00:35:37,440 Yeah, that informs a lot of these concerns because we know what these 563 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,480 companies believe that they need to do to keep their shareholders happy. And that's 564 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:46,239 we know that they're capable of panicking in major ways. And so I'm foreseeing 565 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,920 that a little bit. I you know, I think we get to twenty 566 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:54,119 twenty five, people will probably take a breath. The Nintendo console will get 567 00:35:54,119 --> 00:35:59,159 announced, GTA will probably get a release date, a real release date, 568 00:35:59,519 --> 00:36:01,159 and then people start looking around be like, okay, now we can start 569 00:36:01,159 --> 00:36:04,880 planning. You know, we got to put our game out around GTA whatever. 570 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,599 We do have a bunch of games in the works because we do make 571 00:36:07,679 --> 00:36:09,440 some games to make a lot of money. We're Sony're Microsoft, We're 572 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,800 in that situation. And you know, if Tenda puts out a console and 573 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,559 it sells great again, I'm going to feel pretty good myself. But just 574 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,719 where it is today, if I was trying to advise one of these companies, 575 00:36:22,519 --> 00:36:25,000 I would hope I could find an argument to say, make more games 576 00:36:25,039 --> 00:36:29,599 and that's the solution. But it feels more challenging than ever to say that 577 00:36:29,639 --> 00:36:31,400 because there is no guarantee you're going to be able to get that attention that 578 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,920 you need with Fortnite and all these games sucking up all the oxygen in the 579 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,280 room. So yeah, we'll keep an eye on it. We'll this conversation 580 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:44,000 will keep ongoing, especially throughout this year when there will be fewer and fewer 581 00:36:44,079 --> 00:36:46,519 games released. Except you know what, I'll reiterate, keep here in Dragon 582 00:36:46,559 --> 00:36:51,159 Ages coming out this year. So if you're looking for something in the second 583 00:36:51,159 --> 00:36:52,199 half of the year, like oh, there's nothing coming out, that's something, 584 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,960 get excited about that. I guess, so some good news to pend 585 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,960 to the bottom of that. All right, let's take a quick break. 586 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,159 When we get back. We will make make some decisions, including the mount 587 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:05,760 rushmore of Capcom games. Read from super chats, Baby, that's right right 588 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,400 after this, and we're back, Mike. I think we got a handful 589 00:37:08,519 --> 00:37:12,119 of super chats. Thanks for everyone that sent those in a lot of very 590 00:37:12,159 --> 00:37:16,039 generous super chats tonight. Yes, thank you so much everybody. Uh. 591 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:20,800 First one, here's from rodu Peragle to ghanas he says had a recent windfall 592 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,719 and thought i'd share the joy with my favorite dynamic duo. Question. What 593 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:30,320 video game industry personality would make a good Colombo murderer? Signed your Columbo at 594 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:36,119 arms, Octo H. Peter Malinu would make a great Columbo murderer. I 595 00:37:36,119 --> 00:37:39,119 think he'd be thinking he'd be able to out think Colombo, and he would 596 00:37:39,159 --> 00:37:43,400 get kind of nervous and make it over complicated. I think that would be 597 00:37:43,639 --> 00:37:46,239 a very interesting one because it's guy. It's gotta be somebody with money. 598 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:52,159 Oh yeah, right, Randy Pichford is a great one. Yeah, that 599 00:37:52,199 --> 00:37:54,079 would be fit. Yeah, because the Magician angle. I never haven't seen 600 00:37:54,079 --> 00:37:59,239 the Magician episode of Colombo yet. That is one. I think I did 601 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,159 watch that before. That was a good one. Dan wants to be to 602 00:38:01,199 --> 00:38:05,360 know that he took some kind of test at somebody under the giant Bomb reddit 603 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,639 pitting Super and Tone versus four games. Then yeah, I'm shocked that st 604 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,400 four to one for him. What do you want you making me report this 605 00:38:12,519 --> 00:38:15,840 dead? Hey? Dan? Tell him to save that because we're gonna talk 606 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:21,920 about on BCR tomorrow over it's goleen to go over it. We'rea I'm shouted 607 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:27,039 you didn't pick any of the j RPGs. It's so for people to wondering, 608 00:38:27,039 --> 00:38:30,719 and it's a like side by side comparison like choosing in sixty four game 609 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:35,760 or Super Nintendo game and it's like Mario sixty four or Super Mario World, 610 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,280 and it does that for a bunch of different like challenges, a bunch of 611 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,360 different comparisons. And uh, I think it's like twenty four on there. 612 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:46,320 Do you know who made that joyse Joys? Yeah? Did So we're going 613 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:50,599 to talk about that on BCR tomorrow. I think maybe we'll say we'll even 614 00:38:50,599 --> 00:38:52,159 get it. Look, Dan, I'm saying it's when I saw this list, 615 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:53,400 is like, oh, there's more good games of sixty four than I 616 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,360 thought. So there is that? Does that make you happy? That makes 617 00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,679 me happy? There? And I was just like I hate in sixty four 618 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:05,639 cats. Dan's got an opinion? What am I supposed to do about that? 619 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,800 I like why at sixty four get practicing that Jetson's NYES game day. 620 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,440 We're getting speed ring that Apparently, Kelly, I was excited when you guys 621 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,559 started talking about that. Yeagar are zero with their first super tests. Hello, 622 00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:22,199 Beefy Banner boys. My brother and I are driving to Cleveland to check 623 00:39:22,199 --> 00:39:25,159 out this totally clips on eight, our first time in Cleveland. Any tips 624 00:39:25,199 --> 00:39:30,239 on what to check out and where to eat? Down town to the flats? 625 00:39:30,559 --> 00:39:34,119 Yeah, the flats are back the flats. It's kind of a fun 626 00:39:34,159 --> 00:39:38,599 section of bars and restaurants right to where the river there meets Lake Eerie. 627 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:45,320 There's very nice seafood restaurant there called Lindy's, an awesome brewery and restaurant called 628 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:51,880 Collision Bend. Right there, there's a Margarite Hill On East fourth Street, 629 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,239 closer to like mid downtown, not too far from Progressive Field and where the 630 00:39:55,280 --> 00:40:00,719 Cavs play. There's a Michael Simon's barbecue restaurant Maybels. I like that a 631 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:05,039 lot. And across from that is another good brewery and restaurant called butcher in 632 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:09,840 the brewer. They have an albino stout that is fantastic. The biggest brewery 633 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:14,840 in the area and it's also a good restaurant. Is a Great Lakes Brewery 634 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:16,639 that's over on the west side. You have to cross the bridge from downtown. 635 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:21,559 It really get there nice there. I loves Great Lakes Brewery and that 636 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,280 is right by a cool barcade called sixteen Bit with a bunch of free play 637 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:30,679 machines and a lot of fun cocktails and drinks on tap and like pin bowling, 638 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,599 lots of fun stuff. So also, uh on the west side, 639 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,840 very good ice cream place called Mitchell's the very good. So I think I 640 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:44,320 think west Side where Great Lakes and sixteen Bit are and then the flats. 641 00:40:44,679 --> 00:40:46,880 Those are kind of my favorite Cleveland spots. Joe, and you know, 642 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,559 if you look for like Torsie things that are fun to do, you know, 643 00:40:50,599 --> 00:40:52,440 go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame of Oh yeah, yeah, 644 00:40:52,519 --> 00:40:55,239 definitely. Yeah. Mike's right, that's the stuff I would have said, 645 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:59,239 because he's the one that showing me around. So yes, agreed, 646 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,119 on's fine quick. Dan's asking if I'm gonna come tailgate with with them in 647 00:41:01,159 --> 00:41:04,840 Philadelphia Damn, I'm gonna try to plan it. It would have to be 648 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,519 on Saturday. It's gonna be tough because that weekend. I didn't realize that 649 00:41:07,559 --> 00:41:12,760 was the weekend of the eclipse or leading into the eclipse. Because it's gonna 650 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,280 be a nightmare in town. So getting back into town, I'm worried about 651 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:19,159 that. But I'm like, maybe Amtrak's probably be nightmare. But I'm much 652 00:41:19,159 --> 00:41:22,320 i'd get a train backed from Philadelphia around that time. That might be nice 653 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,239 because then I could just watch WrestleMania on my phone as I'm coming back. 654 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:30,199 So I'm gonna look into it. Or you cannot go all the way to 655 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:35,880 Philadelphia just to hang on a parking garage or whatever and you can watch WrestleMania 656 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,239 with me. I know, I know, But Jason Fideli's because he talks 657 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:43,280 about all this food they're gonna make and for the tailgate. Okay, listen, 658 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,199 try to ruin your plan. No, No, it's just it sounded 659 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:51,000 so fun like they're going, you know, it's tailgating in Philly too. 660 00:41:51,039 --> 00:41:53,199 It's like a thing. But I don't know, we'll see it's probably not 661 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,960 gonna work out. Now they'll like start thinking about how difficult that would be, 662 00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,159 so we'll see. Uh. Next one here is from Ali Miracle says, 663 00:42:00,199 --> 00:42:04,199 had a good interview for an Eternal Position today and it went really well. 664 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,039 I want to share the joy and I'm napping because it's been a long 665 00:42:07,079 --> 00:42:09,519 week things for all you do boys, Yes, boobs or Pauger's thank you, 666 00:42:09,559 --> 00:42:14,239 Ali merrickle appreciate. Thank you, Alan Merrick your luck on that glad 667 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:19,400 that went well for you. The n tidd Wolf says, I have successfully 668 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,199 crimed my three DS. Yes, they've mostly been playing DS games. But 669 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:23,519 I'm curious what else I can do in this thing. And he must need 670 00:42:23,559 --> 00:42:28,360 applications. Age Shop, get the age Shop. You have the age Shop. 671 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,760 You're good. That's just what gets you everything. Hate Shop is the 672 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:36,880 E Shop. But I thought h might have dood for something else. Oh 673 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,000 no, okay, well now I understand why you might think that, but 674 00:42:39,039 --> 00:42:43,360 no, it just means I think it means hat Shop. Yeah, there 675 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,199 you go, and it has all. It's basically that has every game that 676 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,719 was on the E Shop. So you can just do yeah. Oh, 677 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:52,760 Greg says, so aside from DLC's like for Elder Ring and Final Fantasy fourteen 678 00:42:52,119 --> 00:42:55,559 or releases. What releases are you most interested in for the rest of twenty 679 00:42:55,599 --> 00:43:00,159 twenty four? A Jeff is a Ridge Racer coming out this year? Fuck? 680 00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:05,519 No, okay, well not that, but I am excited for Indiana 681 00:43:05,599 --> 00:43:08,599 Jones in the Great Circle. I have good hopes for that. Star Wars 682 00:43:08,599 --> 00:43:13,400 Outlaws. I hope it's still also this year. I supposed to be this 683 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,480 year, right, I think, so I may better be. I have 684 00:43:15,519 --> 00:43:19,239 it on my fantasy critics if I hope that would be really nice. I 685 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,280 you know, God, as soon as it slows down Jedi Survivor, I'm 686 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:23,360 going back to that people. People have been going back to that in the 687 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:27,280 last couple of weeks and everyone's like, you don't let this rules, And 688 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:28,960 I'm like, yeah, I bet, I bet, I'm gonna love that 689 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,440 game. So yeah, Meana, the Halloware also hopefully comes out this year 690 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:36,599 that that would be nice. Spectroid Prime four that comes out, that will 691 00:43:36,599 --> 00:43:39,079 help my help my fantasy draft. Yeah, but that'd be next year with 692 00:43:39,119 --> 00:43:45,920 a switch to yeah, probably Sledge. Rhinhold says, what's up Dogs, 693 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,719 Hello, Youth, Todday first, Super TEDDERO. I never get to catch 694 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,679 these live, so I figured since the Stars have a line. I drop 695 00:43:52,679 --> 00:43:54,119 a super check to thank you for all you guys do. Keep up the 696 00:43:54,159 --> 00:43:58,079 good fight. Thank you so much. Sludge really appreciate it. Thank you. 697 00:43:58,079 --> 00:44:00,719 Sledge ryd Hold, I really like that name. Andy Ford Prez with 698 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:05,559 their fifth super chat, says, do you guys see companies increasing investments in 699 00:44:05,599 --> 00:44:08,639 smaller games, especially after all the acquisitions? Expected more news about that. 700 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,400 Also, Mikey, you have to show Penny or you look like a psychopath. 701 00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,760 I already showed Penny on the dumb truck. She's I just saw a 702 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:20,480 sack of potatoes. I think he might be going insane. Everybody, Yeah, 703 00:44:21,039 --> 00:44:25,079 they should be investing in smaller games. Actually, had a really nice 704 00:44:25,079 --> 00:44:30,639 conversation at PEX East with with her Major Nelson, who's an advisor for a 705 00:44:30,639 --> 00:44:34,000 publisher called Midwest Games. Right now, they have lots of fun games. 706 00:44:34,039 --> 00:44:37,320 The one I really liked was called Duck Paradox. It's a roguelike where you're 707 00:44:37,639 --> 00:44:38,639 it's like you have to like shoot these ducks. You have to kind of 708 00:44:38,679 --> 00:44:43,559 navigate these like stages and stuff. But the gimmick is that it's like a 709 00:44:43,639 --> 00:44:46,239 twinsic shooter, but when you shoot a bullet, it will bounce off the 710 00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:50,920 walls forever until it hits an enemy or you basically, so if your aim 711 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,559 as bad, you kind of create your own bullet. Hell's the gimmick there? 712 00:44:53,639 --> 00:44:58,480 Oh that's really neat. Yeah, there's been. And I absolutely think 713 00:44:58,519 --> 00:45:02,000 that these bigger publishers need be doing more small games, like had that half 714 00:45:02,079 --> 00:45:07,000 measure right where they were doing things like Untangled or whatever, like you know 715 00:45:07,039 --> 00:45:08,960 what, the things that got them freaking It takes too right, and it 716 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,719 takes you made all this money and like you know, these things are doing 717 00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,760 well and then we don't really say much more of it for some reason. 718 00:45:16,039 --> 00:45:20,159 Well we do. They did it again with the this is the this is 719 00:45:20,199 --> 00:45:23,599 the problem with it. The other one was Immortals of Avium. Yeah, 720 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:28,960 but it's not that's is that a small game? How small is that? 721 00:45:29,039 --> 00:45:30,639 Right? It was the it was the same like EA Partners thing, But 722 00:45:30,639 --> 00:45:36,440 I guess it wasn't all that small. And the good thing with small games 723 00:45:36,519 --> 00:45:38,519 is if they do really well, you could make a sequel that's bigger. 724 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:43,000 You could do it then like it's so you know a few years in a 725 00:45:43,039 --> 00:45:44,960 few years, yeah, and a few years, right, and so it's 726 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:49,199 like why not take a lot of smaller risks, and if people respond to 727 00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,880 one of them, make it bigger. You know what, He's going to 728 00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:55,480 be really big. Hades two and Haunted Chocolates here, those are gonna be 729 00:45:55,519 --> 00:46:00,760 big games, massive out you know, Spoon Heaven gonna be huge. Yes, 730 00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:02,679 yes, of course if that comes out this year. I'll be looking 731 00:46:02,679 --> 00:46:07,280 forward to that. But it's it's insane that I'm not confident that game's coming 732 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,480 up. Yeah, we're supposed to come out last year, so yeah, 733 00:46:09,679 --> 00:46:14,559 come no longer ago than that. Oh boy, all right, more super 734 00:46:14,639 --> 00:46:16,880 chats one more here? Oh ya? Assuming mechs is very happy to see 735 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:22,719 Foma nine representation in FOM Fancy fourteen for the Dontro expansion and a possible remake 736 00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:29,159 on the horizon, I need more people to appreciate Boom boomer got how I 737 00:46:29,159 --> 00:46:35,159 say this? Boom Machians How we ever read that? Oneians Michians right? 738 00:46:35,199 --> 00:46:38,880 People find nine? Yes? Yeah, I did even talk about this in 739 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,320 the news because we had so much, like so many different headlines. Yeh, 740 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,199 Final Fantasy nine. Probably we talked. I kind of forced it into 741 00:46:45,199 --> 00:46:47,599 an attend OBOU this week, so we talked about it there. But boy, 742 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,639 I sure hope that that is happening either way, though, we are 743 00:46:51,679 --> 00:46:57,320 getting found Fancy nine stuff in Fan Fantacy fourteen, so that alone is exciting. 744 00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,559 Final Fantasy nine rules it is the best. Hey, today's was Keendum 745 00:47:00,559 --> 00:47:04,639 Hearts the Anniversary, by the way, so don't say anything about kiendam Hearts. 746 00:47:04,679 --> 00:47:10,000 Just one at least I know why you like to hurt me. All 747 00:47:10,119 --> 00:47:13,639 right, thank you for reading those super chats, Mike. Thank you everybody 748 00:47:13,639 --> 00:47:15,920 who sent those in. We will get to the rest of them if you 749 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:17,320 send it anymore before the end of the show, so feel free to do 750 00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:21,079 that. If there's something that we miss that you want to talk about, 751 00:47:21,119 --> 00:47:22,840 that's the best way to get us to talk about it. But first, 752 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,639 let's take another break. When we come back, we will do that Mount 753 00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:32,599 Rushmore of Capcom games. And we're back and it's time to do the Mount 754 00:47:32,639 --> 00:47:37,039 Rushmore of Capcom Games. Mike, this was your idea. I thought it 755 00:47:37,079 --> 00:47:39,239 was a pretty good one. I'm brady to hop in there. We're gonna 756 00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:43,960 do this in honor of Dragon's Dogma two coming out. Dragons Dogma two probably 757 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:45,960 not gonna make it too sad to put it on the Mount Rushmore. That's 758 00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:47,320 just how it works, all right. I really like that game. Yeah, 759 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,199 I mel like a lot. I mean, it's great to do this 760 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:54,199 with Capcom because I think Capcom, like aside from Nintendo, is like one 761 00:47:54,199 --> 00:48:00,599 of the greatest gaming developer sashon publishers ever. This an incredible library over a 762 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:07,920 very long time, generations and generations, right, basically going back to almost 763 00:48:07,039 --> 00:48:12,239 the point of gaming being relevant. They kind of start out in the Arcade 764 00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:16,119 and they really hit their stride in that NES era, being kind of again 765 00:48:16,519 --> 00:48:22,480 aside from Nintendo, the company putting out the most high quality games on that 766 00:48:22,599 --> 00:48:29,480 system. Right, they are synonymous with gaming alongside those other companies in a 767 00:48:29,559 --> 00:48:32,079 really strong way for me, And it was synonymous like the nes Yes, 768 00:48:32,519 --> 00:48:37,320 and then the thing with Capcom is they just kept up every generation. They 769 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:43,239 were right there making some of the best games every generation since then. And 770 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,199 in ways it's like, you know, over time, it took me a 771 00:48:45,199 --> 00:48:47,079 while like to be like, oh man, Monster Hunter was this huge thing 772 00:48:47,159 --> 00:48:52,280 in Japan and then became a huge thing everywhere. So they just they yeah, 773 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,119 they kept going and kept trying new things and it usually worked. Not 774 00:48:54,199 --> 00:48:57,840 everything worked. They definitely had some like periods where it's like, hey, 775 00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,559 we're making Bionic or yeah buying the Commando, Well we're gonna make the three 776 00:49:00,639 --> 00:49:02,480 D one or whatever, and so yeah, that stuff didn't work. But 777 00:49:02,639 --> 00:49:08,599 Capcom every generation has a game that stood out, usually multiple games. There's 778 00:49:08,639 --> 00:49:12,519 some obvious ones here. We'll probably get to those. Is there one that 779 00:49:12,559 --> 00:49:15,599 you think is like a fun one to start with where you want to go 780 00:49:15,639 --> 00:49:19,119 first? I kind of want to almost start chronologically, because I do think 781 00:49:19,159 --> 00:49:22,000 again, they hit their STrenD that NES era. They were like, you 782 00:49:22,039 --> 00:49:25,840 know, I think it's Capcom Konami, Nintendo in terms of people just making 783 00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:30,440 a ton of great games on that system, right, And to me, 784 00:49:30,519 --> 00:49:31,920 the one that sort of stands out the most, even though I'm more of 785 00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:37,119 a Mega Man three guy, I think Mega Man two is kind of the 786 00:49:37,039 --> 00:49:44,159 Capcom nes game. Yeah, the first Mega Man and it's good. It's 787 00:49:44,159 --> 00:49:46,440 a little fucking some places. And then this team, even though they you 788 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:52,840 know, weren't really allowed to unless they did it sort of in their spare 789 00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:57,119 time, they put all this passion into this sequel. They released Mega Man 790 00:49:57,119 --> 00:50:00,960 two and it's just an all timer, right, just even though it visually 791 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:07,239 looks so identical, plays so much better all time great soundtrack, just such 792 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:14,239 a fun and whimsical and tough but in a really rewarding way kind of game. 793 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,039 It is maybe the most capcom game to me still in a lot of 794 00:50:17,079 --> 00:50:21,599 ways. And meganism and mascot. There's gotta be some Mega Man love. 795 00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:23,440 Oh you know, I mean, listen, Mega Man's making this list. 796 00:50:23,679 --> 00:50:30,039 That's there's no question to me there, I yes, and I think Mega 797 00:50:30,039 --> 00:50:34,039 Man two is the right one. It is. It's iconic. It's iconic, 798 00:50:34,199 --> 00:50:37,000 and it stands out among any S games. It's something where you immediately 799 00:50:37,039 --> 00:50:43,760 look at it and it gives off good vibes and good memories and you know, 800 00:50:44,119 --> 00:50:47,119 great music, all that stuff. Whenever you tell somebody to make an 801 00:50:47,199 --> 00:50:51,039 n yes sprite of a character, they will just kind of trace over the 802 00:50:51,079 --> 00:50:55,679 Mega Man sprite exactly, Yes, right away, Yes killed it. I'm 803 00:50:55,719 --> 00:51:00,119 curious, like you would have started chronologically other other any S games that you 804 00:51:00,119 --> 00:51:02,760 think have a good chance of making the list. I'm probably not, just 805 00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:07,599 because it does get so incredibly crowded, Like there's a part of me that 806 00:51:07,599 --> 00:51:13,840 would be like Man duc tails, You're so good and as like an adaptation, 807 00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:17,840 and again, just the soundtrack, what incredible, incredible stuff there. 808 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,840 But I think probably the next one I would go to again as kind of 809 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:27,920 chronological thinking, has to be street Fighter two. Street Fighter two would be 810 00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,599 the one that, yes, if we're going in that, Yes, street 811 00:51:30,599 --> 00:51:34,559 Fighter two is another one where there's just no chance it doesn't make the list. 812 00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:39,559 It is like potentially on the Mount Rushmore of video games two. They 813 00:51:39,559 --> 00:51:45,239 were quote unquote fighting games before this, but this really invented the genre. 814 00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,920 And I talk about Mega Mid two is like the substantial improvement of over Mega 815 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:51,880 Man one. Like street Fighter one may as will not exist, Yes, 816 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:57,480 but we've talked about this before, the biggest gap between a sequel and its 817 00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,599 predecessor. But in any genre, in any form of art, ever, 818 00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:04,519 it is the biggest gap. You're right, it might as well not exist, 819 00:52:04,599 --> 00:52:07,000 and it kind of doesn't. Street Fighter one kind of doesn't exist. 820 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:12,159 Street Fighter two, however, is the template for an entire genre going forward 821 00:52:12,159 --> 00:52:15,559 for the rest of time. Yeah, there's no way street Fighter two doesn't 822 00:52:15,559 --> 00:52:20,360 make this. It is the thing. It was a cultural event. It 823 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,639 got everyone into arcades. It defined arcade culture in a lot of ways. 824 00:52:23,639 --> 00:52:25,880 It was gonna be. It wasn't just at arcades, it was at seven 825 00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:30,840 elevens and roller rinks. It was everywhere. Yeah, Street Fighter two is 826 00:52:31,199 --> 00:52:35,719 definitely the next one I would have gone to. Now. This is actually 827 00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:37,599 a little before strat Fared too, and I don't think it's a game, 828 00:52:37,639 --> 00:52:39,760 ye I Knight, Sure Iver makes it, but Final Fight should not be 829 00:52:40,039 --> 00:52:45,800 discounted. Again, there were beat them ups before Final Fight. They were 830 00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:50,880 very much in that double dragon mold. Final Fight invented that very familiar beat 831 00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,280 them up format I think we are all familiar with. Yet that kind of 832 00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:59,800 leads into basically the Turtles games and Streets of Rays, right, you know, 833 00:53:00,039 --> 00:53:02,920 there were maybe even more Final Fight knockoffs and Street Fighter two knockoffs in 834 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:07,960 the arcades for a while. You kind of can't underestimate how important Final Fight 835 00:53:08,159 --> 00:53:12,519 was. The difference is that that important sort of land after a while. 836 00:53:12,559 --> 00:53:15,280 The beatam of genre, although it's having a researchers right now, did kind 837 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:19,559 of go away in Final Fight itself has sort of lost relevancy and is now 838 00:53:19,679 --> 00:53:23,599 kind of just background dressing for Street Fighter again. Yeah, I mean we 839 00:53:23,639 --> 00:53:27,840 could definitely keep there. That's like the big arcade game from that time for 840 00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:31,480 them as well. I would you know if we're going chronologically still, though, 841 00:53:31,519 --> 00:53:36,079 I think I go to Super Nintendo and there's some there's some great capcom 842 00:53:36,199 --> 00:53:38,199 games. But I'm like already looking at the list getting pretty crowded, and 843 00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,760 I don't know how many of those actually make the cut for me. But 844 00:53:42,079 --> 00:53:44,440 what do you think? Yeah, I think Street Fight two almost kind of 845 00:53:44,559 --> 00:53:47,519 make that. Yeah, or I mean, if it wasn't Mega Man two, 846 00:53:47,639 --> 00:53:53,639 megah X might like the Megama recitation Megman X is fantastic, it's incredible. 847 00:53:54,159 --> 00:53:59,039 I think Magna two kind of speaks for that whole series, and we 848 00:53:59,119 --> 00:54:00,239 are going to have that converse is a bunch of times, because I mean 849 00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:06,880 I think we go to What's Next here and Resident Evil Resivil two? Yeah, 850 00:54:07,679 --> 00:54:09,599 it like these are games that both could make the list, and it's 851 00:54:09,679 --> 00:54:12,840 like, man, do they even do even those two make it? When 852 00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,840 we get to Resent Evil four, I'm at least gonna put them both here 853 00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:20,360 for consideration. But if you had to choose one Resident Evil or Resident Evil 854 00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,800 two, which one would you go with? I think I picked the original. 855 00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:24,320 I know Residevil two is mostly an sat A better game, it probably 856 00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:28,360 is, but it's close enough to me. I think you just give it 857 00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,880 to that first game again invented a genre, and again like very early on, 858 00:54:32,079 --> 00:54:37,800 like you know, that's an early PlayStation game, and Capcom immediately had 859 00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:42,519 a huge hit early on when a lot of people were still trying to figure 860 00:54:42,599 --> 00:54:45,920 this whole three D gaming thing out, and they made something that was a 861 00:54:46,039 --> 00:54:54,480 ton of fun and just incredibly memorable and immediately attracted a dozen copycats. Yeah, 862 00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:59,599 and that's it, you know, a very popular franchise right out of 863 00:54:59,639 --> 00:55:01,239 the gate, and they've been able to make it more popular over time. 864 00:55:01,519 --> 00:55:06,519 But it really does start with the first game being sort of you know they 865 00:55:06,679 --> 00:55:08,119 did. What they did was tree Fighter. They invented a genre basically. 866 00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:12,519 Yeah, Alone in the Dark was there, but Lone the Dark did not 867 00:55:12,559 --> 00:55:16,840 start a genre for a reason, Resident Evil did. Yeah, any other 868 00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:21,920 games from this generation for Capcom you would want to include? Uh, I 869 00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:23,480 mean there's a lot of good games. There's a lot of Guests, of 870 00:55:23,559 --> 00:55:25,400 course, there's a lot of good games. There's a lot of good games 871 00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:29,800 in the Super Nintendo and any S generation for sure. Yeah, I guess 872 00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:32,960 I'm already starting to think about Monster Hunter at this point. Yes, Monster 873 00:55:34,039 --> 00:55:37,599 Hunter is the one that's like gonna be looming large, you know, I 874 00:55:37,679 --> 00:55:39,719 mean, do we do you want to have the Residual four conversation right now? 875 00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:45,320 Then? Yeah, that's rough because like boy, that could also be 876 00:55:45,639 --> 00:55:47,639 on there, and there's a lot of other great capt On games from that 877 00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:51,840 era. My problem is, like, I don't know if I could if 878 00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,840 we have two Resident Eval games on there, And it's difficult because Resivul one 879 00:55:55,239 --> 00:56:00,519 is incredibly important, but so is Resident Evil four, right, and in 880 00:56:00,679 --> 00:56:05,880 pretty different ways. Yeah, and in different ways for sure. Gosh, 881 00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,840 that's difficult. It's I mean, I'm gonna so I got rid of Resident 882 00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:14,000 Evil two with Resuble one, and I'm gonna leave Resuble four up there. 883 00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:17,400 But yeah, so that for audio listeners that has this at Mega Man two 884 00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:21,599 Street Fight or two Final Fight, a Residuable and Resuble four. So we 885 00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:23,320 are already at five games. One of those is not gonna make it. 886 00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:25,639 I think at the end of the day, it's gonna be very tough for 887 00:56:25,679 --> 00:56:29,960 two Resident Evils to make it because if so, we're in we're in this 888 00:56:30,079 --> 00:56:32,400 generation now. Since we're talking about Resuble four, you know, there's Monster 889 00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:37,519 Hunter getting ready to happen. Devil May Cry is happening. Devil May Cry 890 00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,440 uh oh, call me big deal. I know we're not the biggest hands. 891 00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:44,880 Big deal. A bit before this, like, the one other fighting 892 00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:49,360 game that I do think needs to be considered is Marvel versus Capcom two versus 893 00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:52,400 Capcom two. Yes, Scott, right, man, it's just gosh, 894 00:56:52,039 --> 00:56:57,039 it's funny because it's like basically the fifth entry in the Versus series. But 895 00:56:57,159 --> 00:57:00,000 they just went so ridiculous with that. I mean that X Men cartoon right 896 00:57:00,039 --> 00:57:04,840 now, x Men ninety seven. There's so much like they're saying, Marvelvus 897 00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:08,840 go to influence in that this is still a game people think about constantly. 898 00:57:09,079 --> 00:57:13,519 I freaking loved it. I couldn't get enough of it. It was somehow 899 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,519 like a lot in in so many ways. There's so many characters, so 900 00:57:16,599 --> 00:57:22,320 much going on, but also really accessible actually right, Yeah, Like it's 901 00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:25,119 overwhelming when you first approach it, definitely, but they don't they make it 902 00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:30,199 fun to learn it. Yeah, and this is a little I gave me. 903 00:57:30,239 --> 00:57:34,199 It's just incredible. It's like right, very so details. Yes, 904 00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:36,719 it's one of those games people are still playing to this day because of that 905 00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:42,280 very reason. Yeah. Yeah, but I go ahead, I was gonna 906 00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:45,280 say it, like again, Monster Hunter continues to large party where we start 907 00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:46,239 talking about these other games, and I'm like, I don't know how we 908 00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:50,719 get through this without putting Monster Hunter on there. Which one I think it 909 00:57:50,719 --> 00:57:53,360 would be? World or my Thing. I think that's when when I would 910 00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,800 put to you know, maybe that's like westernism for me, but like, 911 00:57:55,880 --> 00:58:00,360 man, it really broke through here finally, is because I think they kind 912 00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:04,199 of smooth out some of the reference edges. I think the presentation was a 913 00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:09,320 lot better. Master Hunter World just felt important, as you can say as 914 00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:14,079 a back lar would say, yeah, okay, So I mean for me, 915 00:58:14,559 --> 00:58:16,639 uh, I'm like, anything we add is gonna have a hard time 916 00:58:16,679 --> 00:58:20,719 breaking through what we have right now. So do you want to just start 917 00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:23,119 throwing stuff out or we can keep going chronologically if you want. Why don't 918 00:58:23,119 --> 00:58:28,159 we not throw anything out yet? Maybe we should see what frendos are saying. 919 00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:30,159 Oh yeah, great idea. That's a good idea. Okay, let 920 00:58:30,159 --> 00:58:32,760 me get that set up. Yeah yeah, And there's like and I can't 921 00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:36,760 immediately think of some other things. I know, I'm like a little not 922 00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:39,599 as huge on Double May Cry as some people say, but like you know 923 00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:44,519 that that also kind of evented as a genre with like that certain style of 924 00:58:44,679 --> 00:58:51,079 character action game that is still actually going pretty strong these days. For sure, 925 00:58:51,159 --> 00:58:53,840 there's some that I think are are fun games, like uh like that 926 00:58:54,119 --> 00:58:57,599 Rising where I'm like, well, look at everything else we got here? 927 00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:00,159 H Phoenix, right, man, I forgot I have a Phoenix right, 928 00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:06,719 yeah, finished camp. No, that's great, but you know, man, 929 00:59:07,559 --> 00:59:09,599 gosh, I want to put like a statue of Phoenix right next to 930 00:59:09,679 --> 00:59:14,519 them out Rushmore because it is right, so it's got its niche it is, 931 00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:19,039 but it is like one of the best diiches in all of video games. 932 00:59:19,199 --> 00:59:22,239 Man, I love Phoenix right, all right, we have the podcast 933 00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:28,000 producers chiming in. Let's start here with Turbo Sean who drops a Marvel. 934 00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:30,440 Yeah, Marvel versus Capcom? I believe, right? Is that what this 935 00:59:30,599 --> 00:59:34,719 is? That's just for the thread. It's just fun. Sorry, listen. 936 00:59:35,159 --> 00:59:37,320 It was a picture of a bunch of fighting game characters. I figured 937 00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:38,400 you'd want to chime in. I'm like, I'm like, actually, I 938 00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:44,039 didn't see I guess technically they are all fighting game characters because this is a 939 00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:52,599 Polico. This there's mister yeah for some reason, Jesus Christ moving on. 940 00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:58,920 Yeah, I kind of just saw her all right, Moving on Alamera Servesa, 941 00:59:59,119 --> 01:00:02,280 Crystal says Capcom versus S and K two. Yeah, like all these 942 01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:05,800 verses, I think it's where we're gonna be. The versus games are gonna 943 01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:10,000 be represented by one. Yeah, this one does rip though I was playing 944 01:00:10,039 --> 01:00:14,960 this like a year or so the GameCube version. God, this game is 945 01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:17,760 very good. It is a it is a very different flavor from Marves's Capcom 946 01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:23,119 and it's a ton of fun. Love it. Nick Turbo says Resident Evil 947 01:00:23,239 --> 01:00:27,519 four. Yep, gonna it's gonna be weird if we have this list. 948 01:00:27,639 --> 01:00:30,519 It doesn't have versingable four on it. But who knows where we're gonna The 949 01:00:30,639 --> 01:00:34,440 bench j C says Ghost Trick Phantom Detective Man. We played through this for 950 01:00:34,559 --> 01:00:37,639 the Game Club not too long ago, and maybe the least negative Game Club 951 01:00:37,679 --> 01:00:42,559 episode ever so in terms of very few people had anything bad to say about 952 01:00:42,599 --> 01:00:45,760 the game. It is just delightful. I need to play it. Think 953 01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:51,079 that happen. Jamie H. Christmas Eve says The Game Boy Color Classic, 954 01:00:51,119 --> 01:00:54,519 The Legends alda Oracle of Seasons. It's very good. That's definitely the Probably 955 01:00:54,559 --> 01:00:59,039 the even though they're very similar, Seasons is better than Ages I think those 956 01:00:59,039 --> 01:01:02,239 people agree. Casual said, Dead Rising God, yeah, I like that 957 01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:06,840 game. You know, the one I played the best was Dead Rising three 958 01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:08,159 because it was an Xbox One launch game, and it was actually a very 959 01:01:08,159 --> 01:01:12,239 good launch game. It's a good game. Yeah, there were some actually 960 01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,119 some surprise of the good Xbox One launch games. I even like Rise Launch. 961 01:01:15,559 --> 01:01:20,920 Yeah. Uh. Ebo Janis said Mega Man two. Look at that. 962 01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,280 I looked at this box so much as a kid in this car. 963 01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:29,360 Lookrack, I love it looks like it's Doctor Light for some reason, hiding 964 01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:32,519 behind crash band, which doesn't make any sense. But uh yeah, gonna 965 01:01:32,519 --> 01:01:38,559 pants them. I think you're right. Uh. Klaus Raynor says Okami, 966 01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:42,639 Yeah, drawing circles is hard, though, Yeah, I mean listen, 967 01:01:42,679 --> 01:01:46,599 I struggled with drawing the line. Two time champ Beef Hammers's Marvel versus Capcom 968 01:01:46,679 --> 01:01:51,320 two with artwork that looks pretty much indistinguishable from what Sean posted. But no 969 01:01:52,639 --> 01:01:55,760 was good man. Jill was. Jill Valentine is so good in this game. 970 01:01:55,960 --> 01:02:00,679 I love she is, like that she has that ultimate where just like 971 01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:05,119 a t u Ethin or whatever, just like sponsor, the ground starts slashing 972 01:02:05,159 --> 01:02:07,519 away. So good. So good. I love the way this game. 973 01:02:07,639 --> 01:02:10,360 Last year, speaking of Gill Valentine, last year, somebody discovered like an 974 01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:15,599 infinite that nobody discovered until like last year. So I remember that that was 975 01:02:15,679 --> 01:02:17,840 crazy. Here's what I here's what I want in the next receival. I 976 01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:22,840 want Joe to have her beret again. Okay, you like that beret. 977 01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:30,039 He likes the beret Rasberry but Ray Bob Boat Bob Bob Trow says Monster Hunter 978 01:02:30,159 --> 01:02:36,639 World, And that's definitely under consideration as we stand here today. Uh B 979 01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:42,159 three ben to seven says Monster Hunter Freedom to look, man, we were 980 01:02:42,199 --> 01:02:45,360 America. You good. I'm sorry. Freedom United, I think is better. 981 01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:47,920 Well, it's the same. It's just freedom and United is like the 982 01:02:49,599 --> 01:02:53,400 expansion version of it. Right, that's and that's like how you know the 983 01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:57,079 Pokemon games would have a third game, the Monster Hunter games would always have 984 01:02:57,119 --> 01:03:01,719 the expansion version basically how that worked? Yeah, okay, rebirth the rebirth 985 01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:06,760 Wolf five, says Phoenix right, Ace Attorney, This is yeah, this 986 01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:09,000 does feel like what would be your number five?

God I love Phoenix right. Uh's 990 01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:24,760 joy Z says Steel Battalion. Uh is that really Capcom? I guess that 991 01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:30,079 was that was Capcom. In fact, YEP walked by the Steel Battalion room 992 01:03:30,119 --> 01:03:32,639 at Pax East and we didn't go inside Oude, but we did go to 993 01:03:32,719 --> 01:03:37,199 the Classic Gaming room and played Powerstone two, which is still a banger. 994 01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:39,800 Another Mike one every round. Don't worry. Thank you for telling everybody. 995 01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:45,360 Yeah, no problem, this was true. H Teriaki Blues says Devil May 996 01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:49,599 Cry three Dante's Awakening. Yeah, that's the best of them. I think 997 01:03:49,639 --> 01:03:52,679 most people say people like five a lot. Also, now I'm more of 998 01:03:52,719 --> 01:03:59,880 a DMC. Devil May Cry guy always be clothing slash Corgy says Boulder punching 999 01:04:00,079 --> 01:04:02,079 the game, which is a five? Right, it says five? This 1000 01:04:02,239 --> 01:04:05,480 is yeah, the famous ending of five, which takes place in a volcano 1001 01:04:05,559 --> 01:04:09,880 and you fight against Wescer and he's going, it's a pretty cool five. 1002 01:04:10,519 --> 01:04:15,119 Yeah. Yeah, and punching the boulder actually is fun. Yeah, this 1003 01:04:15,239 --> 01:04:17,199 is great. This game is not as about as people make it look. 1004 01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:21,480 Sometimes not too many people think the game is bad. It is a lot 1005 01:04:21,719 --> 01:04:27,159 they think it's I don't think it's a lesser U it's a less resid than 1006 01:04:27,239 --> 01:04:30,440 like four. Yeah, sure, but overall, I don't think it's like 1007 01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:35,079 lesser. I would still put it in the bottom half of Resident Evils because 1008 01:04:35,079 --> 01:04:38,280 there's a lot of very good resume games. But it's a good game. 1009 01:04:38,559 --> 01:04:42,800 Yeah, and that's kind of how I feel. Hot Evil Queen ed Eden 1010 01:04:43,039 --> 01:04:45,880 says Dragons Dogma two, Well, we will revisit this in ten years and 1011 01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:49,360 we'll see. I have fun watching you play Dragons Dogma two on Giant bum 1012 01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:53,840 today, that's for sure. Yes, there are gonna be some memories from 1013 01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:56,199 that game that people are probably gonna have for the rest of their lives when 1014 01:04:56,199 --> 01:04:59,679 it comes to like video game memories. So that makes it a strong candidate 1015 01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:03,639 some day. Uh. Screaming Madden says Mega Man two artwork there box art 1016 01:05:03,719 --> 01:05:09,719 is cred especially that big fish enemy from Bubble Man stage just looking like some 1017 01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:16,360 kind of horror monster from the Deep Dead it. Tommy Pencil says Monster Hunter 1018 01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:23,679 for Ultimate this was the best one I played before playing World. This one 1019 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:28,800 was pretty good. Alex says, I think this is a Monster Hunter reference 1020 01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:31,639 guess it looks like a pickle. It looks like a pickle with spikes on 1021 01:05:31,719 --> 01:05:34,519 its face and red stripes slung its back. It looks like a monster hunter 1022 01:05:34,639 --> 01:05:41,840 villain. I love that you call them. Yeah, well you know monsters. 1023 01:05:42,239 --> 01:05:46,079 Uh flo Tron says Lost Planet Extreme condition. Listen, there's part of 1024 01:05:46,119 --> 01:05:49,239 me that desperately wants to go back to that era of Capcom games and play 1025 01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:56,480 all of them. Last Planet and Dark Void and all that bullshit. We 1026 01:05:56,559 --> 01:05:59,639 should only play Lost Planet three, the one people didn't like. Sure, 1027 01:06:00,039 --> 01:06:05,239 I'm down Freedom mcleberty Ball says Resident Evil four the remix specifically, though, 1028 01:06:05,719 --> 01:06:11,360 remake. Sure the four best Capcom games. I think absolutely this goes on 1029 01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:15,760 here. Holy crap, it's good, Doctor Ryan says Chippendale Rescue Rangers. 1030 01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:18,079 Yeah, I played this game so much as a kitchen the rest Rangers too 1031 01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:24,320 very much. A big banger. Also, uh input name here says The 1032 01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:29,159 Misadventures of Tron Bond super fun. All the Legends games in general are are 1033 01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:31,440 great. I like this is one of my favorite rental games. Actually, 1034 01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:34,920 so it's kind of not quite a minigame collection, but almost kind of like 1035 01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:39,760 that. It wasn't like a full blown thing like in Mega Man Legends, 1036 01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:41,800 but there's a lot of good stuff. Should have bought it so you could 1037 01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:45,760 sell it later. Wait One's Legends too, Mike. Yeah, I've been 1038 01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:47,159 thinking about it a bunch lately, Sean. I want to get to that, 1039 01:06:47,199 --> 01:06:49,480 hopefully at some point this year. But now I want to get like 1040 01:06:49,719 --> 01:06:53,239 an actual copy of it. Right, since I got this good, good 1041 01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:58,400 summer tape, I think a great summer game, Yeah, Adam GC, 1042 01:06:58,719 --> 01:07:04,159 says Disney's Laddin for the Super Nintendo. Gross. It's not a bad game, 1043 01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:11,039 of course, not of course, uh Leah by nature, says Okami. 1044 01:07:11,239 --> 01:07:14,920 But also since it's relevant and I'm working on this, says this. 1045 01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:17,480 Okay, yes, street Fighter too. Yes, she's working on it. 1046 01:07:17,519 --> 01:07:21,400 That's her doing this cross stitching. Whoa, really, that's amazing, I'm 1047 01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:25,519 working on this. Look at that. That's awesome. That's incredible. Wow, 1048 01:07:25,559 --> 01:07:28,519 great work, La, This is awesome. I want to learn how 1049 01:07:28,519 --> 01:07:33,400 to cross stitch. Beautiful, Zoob, says a beautiful Joe. Surprisingly, 1050 01:07:34,559 --> 01:07:39,559 So, what's your favorite of the Capcom five that isn't resonable for Oh, 1051 01:07:39,599 --> 01:07:44,320 it means Joe. I mean I finally beat the game for the first time 1052 01:07:44,599 --> 01:07:46,199 last year. Of the year before, and it's still very good, tons 1053 01:07:46,239 --> 01:07:50,360 of fun. Still feels incredibly unique even now. Oh yeah, you could 1054 01:07:50,599 --> 01:07:54,480 this game dropped today on like Steam. It would be like a hit there 1055 01:07:54,599 --> 01:07:58,840 for sure. Uh. Chaos Buckero says the Legend of Zelda the Minish cap 1056 01:07:59,039 --> 01:08:00,320 a good guy. I know it's not for you, but man, I 1057 01:08:00,719 --> 01:08:04,159 do love this game. I think it's got some of the neater of the 1058 01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:09,480 top down Zelda Dungeons has really fun items in a great final boss fight. 1059 01:08:09,559 --> 01:08:13,159 It's fun stuff. Hammond of Texas. If I can get my save off 1060 01:08:13,239 --> 01:08:15,640 this older, older computer, I'll continue playing it. Hamon of Texas says, 1061 01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:19,880 nineteen forty two. This is like yeah, first cap one of the 1062 01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:24,359 first cap on his This is from early arcade days. Yes, no, 1063 01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:27,920 they did this. This game rules, ye. Dave Ryker in Chaces Minus 1064 01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,560 Cap is a nine point two five and links Wakening isn't eight at best. 1065 01:08:31,399 --> 01:08:35,159 Yeah, but Dan Reicherd is a maniac and that's wrong. Links Awakening is 1066 01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:42,960 unassailable. Mister Bowler says Phoenix right Ace Attorney. I think Miles Edworth rules. 1067 01:08:43,039 --> 01:08:47,279 What a good what a good character. Adam Jus says Resident Evil too. 1068 01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:51,600 This is the remake again, and that is that's a good game. 1069 01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:56,279 I played through both routes of that during a Halloween time. It was a 1070 01:08:56,359 --> 01:09:00,479 fantastic Halloween game. I mean, this was kind of of the game that 1071 01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:03,119 really cement Rezie will Seven a bit, But this was the game that really 1072 01:09:03,159 --> 01:09:09,479 cemented Capcom's Streaked that is still going of just being very good. They are 1073 01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:12,800 on an absolute heater right now and this was a big part of it. 1074 01:09:14,399 --> 01:09:17,520 Mex says Phoenix right Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations. This is the third one. 1075 01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:20,399 Is is the best one. This is a kind of the finale of 1076 01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:26,680 the original trilogy storyline. Incredible stuff, incredible Do you like it because of 1077 01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:29,600 the judge? I see no, no, no, she only appears on 1078 01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:33,039 a flashback.

Yeah, gosh, I 1083 01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:57,319 need that Disney Afternoon collection on Switch so bad. Just just a failure, 1084 01:09:57,359 --> 01:10:00,640 a dereliction of duty by John Drake over there. Yeah, I agree, 1085 01:10:00,119 --> 01:10:05,159 Weisman says a super Puzzle Fighter to Turbo HD Remix. I'd be kind of 1086 01:10:05,159 --> 01:10:09,039 surprised I find out recently how much people like puzzle Fighter. It was ever 1087 01:10:09,399 --> 01:10:11,800 a big thing for me, and I think that's more of a me thing 1088 01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:15,039 than anything else. Yeah, I remember it being I remember reading about it 1089 01:10:15,119 --> 01:10:17,159 more than playing At EGM.

Clink says Dragon's Dogma, the first one darker Risen. It's aware. 1094 01:10:31,279 --> 01:10:33,039 I never played the first one, and I kind of feel like I 1095 01:10:33,079 --> 01:10:36,000 lost my chance forever. I know, I tried, and I just couldn't 1096 01:10:36,039 --> 01:10:40,920 get into it. Lenny Cool Dick Dever says Mega man X Mike.

Uh Riz Racer's Mean 1110 01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:34,680 Bean Machine says Resident Evil the game Cube remake. I almost don't consider this 1111 01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:39,680 because this is like it's almost kind of started an era of remakes of what 1112 01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:45,600 that means and how high you can shoot for that this game is still gorgeous. 1113 01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:50,479 It's incredible. What what a fantastic remake? We could do a mount 1114 01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:57,159 rushmore capcom remakes, who honestly could? And really the god they've been defining 1115 01:11:57,239 --> 01:12:00,279 what remakes have been from basically the beginning.

Put the Street Fighters swim Suit Special collection with 1118 01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:14,000 Chun Lee on here.

That sounds familiar. That's not supposed. If 1128 01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:06,840 anyone listening without letting him know that I'm looking for it, can find me 1129 01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:11,560 that picture and send him my way, I'll be eternally grateful. Hell yeah, 1130 01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:15,800 all right, Uh, Octo says give it up for Ace Attorney Cinematic 1131 01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:19,680 Universe. Oh that's a fun group picture. I like that.

You're embarrassing me. 1135 01:13:35,239 --> 01:13:41,039 Crotchman Boomer Hidden Zoomer says The Little Mermaid slash Dark Wing Duck. I never 1136 01:13:41,119 --> 01:13:44,319 played that much of The Little Mermaid Dark Wing Duck rules. It's it's it's 1137 01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:47,640 basically like a Mega Man game with a few differences, but it's very good 1138 01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:54,840 at being that. Uh Bugadillo says god Hand, God what a good game. 1139 01:13:55,199 --> 01:13:58,800 Never played Godhand actually got I think I when I first got my Steam 1140 01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:00,000 deck, Godhands one of those games. I was like, oh, just 1141 01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,159 see I can get this running. And I played way more of it than 1142 01:14:02,199 --> 01:14:08,159 I ever intended to. It's it rules. Fud Sex says Powerstone. Yeah, 1143 01:14:08,199 --> 01:14:10,439 give me back to me two, probably all day long, but it's 1144 01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:13,479 very good. You should they should make another Powerstone. What's going on? 1145 01:14:14,039 --> 01:14:16,680 Yeah? I know, I know they should, or at least like remaster 1146 01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:25,560 the first two. Give us that PSPY Isaac Clark says Breath of Fire four. 1147 01:14:26,239 --> 01:14:29,039 I played through Breath of Fire four on my Vita. I did enjoy 1148 01:14:29,079 --> 01:14:30,880 it. The art is very good, very good pixel art. I don't 1149 01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:33,720 know if it's like one of my favorite ps one jerejees, but it's a 1150 01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:40,079 good time. Wong Gifts says to a Dragon's Doguay darker Risen like a Dylan 1151 01:14:40,279 --> 01:14:45,399 infinite wealth, it says, lost Planet, extreme condition. Cry Orisis says 1152 01:14:45,399 --> 01:14:46,920 the Monster Hunder. You know, we've been going for a while and there 1153 01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:51,560 actually haven't been that many repeats. People that Capcom goes deep. Capcom goes 1154 01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:56,119 deep, but it means a lot of different things to different people. Yes, 1155 01:14:56,199 --> 01:14:59,560 then so Chi said Monster hun the World and Vision forty nine says Resident 1156 01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:05,399 Evil seven bio Biohazard seven. Yeah, I'm too cowardly to play this one. 1157 01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:09,119 Yeah, I was for a long time. When I had to review 1158 01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:13,439 Residual Village, I just watched a long play of it because I knew Village 1159 01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:15,119 was a direct sequel to this, So I see it all and it is 1160 01:15:15,279 --> 01:15:19,840 very impressive in this game. Obviously did a lot to turn Resident Evil around 1161 01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:24,159 after six was a bit of a disaster and they made a lot of smart 1162 01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:28,079 decisions here. So yeah, very good game, very important game, and 1163 01:15:28,199 --> 01:15:31,560 one I will build up the courage to play someday. Uh suck Atash says 1164 01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:39,640 Resident. Evil seven. Vander Lyle says Capcom versus S and K two Marketingmacky 1165 01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:45,319 barb Spackle says Dead Rising, right, wait, no, yes, yes, 1166 01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:47,520 that's yeah Wars. You know, yeah, he covers, Yes, 1167 01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:50,800 he covers War as you know. J. D. Camp says Age of 1168 01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:57,039 Booty. That's the period of the teacher. That's a real good pature disposable 1169 01:15:57,159 --> 01:16:02,239 content, says flip Nick. Ultimate Pinball a Capcom classic. It's a really 1170 01:16:02,239 --> 01:16:05,600 good game. You just you thought about a couple of weeks ago when we 1171 01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:12,279 played it Mike together on giant bomb dot com. That's the Triple Paddle game 1172 01:16:12,359 --> 01:16:16,119 is buried in there. That's that's a mini game in Flipnick. Oh oh 1173 01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:19,560 oh, okay, Yes, we did not play the actual Flipnick part of 1174 01:16:20,079 --> 01:16:26,359 what you just played. Triple Paddle. Yeah, Mitsurugi says Resident before we 1175 01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:30,119 addition that that was my favorite way to play the original Resident for a long 1176 01:16:30,239 --> 01:16:35,439 time. That version rules. Adam says Phoenix right, Matt out in the 1177 01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:40,920 rare Wilds, says Street Fighter three Third Strike. It's it's weird to leave 1178 01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:44,680 that game off. That's actually yeah, Range, but it's just like the 1179 01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:46,840 importance of may being out there, like you know, like the game wasn't 1180 01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:50,239 some giant hit. It got caught up on very much so and like in 1181 01:16:50,359 --> 01:16:54,640 the fighting and community it is so important. But again, we have four 1182 01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:59,720 slots here and Street Fighter two has to be one of them. The third 1183 01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:03,800 check over it any day, like you know, prefer preferentially. But sound 1184 01:17:04,199 --> 01:17:06,199 all right, I want I'm curious to see you guess what game this is? 1185 01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:12,479 Uh? This, oh, this is a Mega man because I sneeze, 1186 01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,560 sorry but I said it. Yeah, this is actually one of the 1187 01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:17,960 zeros. I'm not sure exactly which one even myself, but yeah, or 1188 01:17:18,079 --> 01:17:21,279 Z zero as you like to say zero. Yeah, there you go. 1189 01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:26,880 This is a character for Magma zero double zero. All right, Impanada Eater 1190 01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:30,960 says Ultimate Marvel versus Capcom. Three. Yeah. I saw some other people 1191 01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:32,720 say three on Twitter when I just said we were doing this, you know 1192 01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:36,800 that, Like I'm not, I'm like slightly downish on three just because two 1193 01:17:38,039 --> 01:17:42,479 is like kind of my everything. Three is still obviously very good and still 1194 01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:46,079 thought of very fondly. It's it is a lot of people's fighting game that 1195 01:17:46,199 --> 01:17:50,279 is like the one for them. Michael Riley says, Resident Evil four for 1196 01:17:50,359 --> 01:17:56,840 the GameCube. Z Yark says, that's Mega Man Legends. I was gonna 1197 01:17:56,840 --> 01:18:00,800 say, this is Mega Man Legends the game for you. Oh wow, 1198 01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,560 let's go. I've never played Mega Man Legends. Legends was great. Like 1199 01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:05,319 I I finally played through all of but just a couple of years ago, 1200 01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:09,760 and I was actually like, the controls, Yeah, they are places one 1201 01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:12,479 controls, you know, I can get over that pretty quick. Like the 1202 01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:16,000 charm and the ascetics of the game hold up very well. A lot to 1203 01:18:16,239 --> 01:18:21,039 like in that game. Cast Coder says Mega Man powered Up. I mean 1204 01:18:21,079 --> 01:18:24,479 I like powered up. I'm not a big fan of the like super big 1205 01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:27,840 head chibi style of the game, but hey, it's Mega Man. It's 1206 01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:33,279 fun. Ed says, which it's got to be seven. Look at what 1207 01:18:33,399 --> 01:18:38,439 happened to this person's balls? Yeah, they are got a condition there on 1208 01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:42,560 your balls? So that's that balls Mike. Oh no, is that his 1209 01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:46,760 dick? No, that's the other thing. That's that his sister. There 1210 01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:55,159 you go, what a game team? Now, breath of Fire. Yeah, 1211 01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:59,000 from Fire one. I haven't played, even though it's on NSL. 1212 01:18:59,039 --> 01:19:03,319 I guess I could try it some time. Christian says Marvel versus Capcom two. 1213 01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:09,760 That's what I said, true, Yeah, yes, every all the 1214 01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:13,319 artwork for Marvel versus Capcom two end game, out of game, just the 1215 01:19:13,439 --> 01:19:15,359 best, just the best ship. Yeah, and it took so long for 1216 01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:18,119 Fighting you to like match the size of this roster. I take it. 1217 01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:23,279 Gosh, I don't know I saw one best character select screen in the world. 1218 01:19:23,479 --> 01:19:26,319 Oh God, do you say the word character select screen? I think 1219 01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:30,000 of that grid. I'm gonna take it. If we could all chip in 1220 01:19:30,239 --> 01:19:33,399 to buy like a minute on the sphere, this is what I put the 1221 01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:39,359 character on the sphere. Yes, did I see that? Uh? That 1222 01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:45,399 dog paid to put Alpha Protocol on Times Square like today? Did they really? 1223 01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:50,760 That's hilarious? Maybe I missed Rengratulations to Matthew. Uh, Turbo Sean 1224 01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:57,319 says super street Fighter to Turbo. Uh, that's probably the one I played 1225 01:19:57,319 --> 01:20:00,039 the most. Actually, right, you know if you want to say that's 1226 01:20:00,239 --> 01:20:01,840 too, I guess, but to me, you just say street Fighter too. 1227 01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:03,760 I think people know that's okay. Well, we can get away with 1228 01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:08,319 a lot more by just saying Street Fighter too. All right, Well, 1229 01:20:08,359 --> 01:20:12,399 in that case, that is what we have so far, Mikey. Any 1230 01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:15,239 of the suggestions that you want to add, Oh, there's a bunch I 1231 01:20:15,359 --> 01:20:20,399 want to add, like Phoenix right, Third Strike, the Resident Evil one 1232 01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:27,079 remake, even though there's always so many Resident Evils to consider, uh gosh, 1233 01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:32,399 so many. I know it's easily looking for. Yeah, I think 1234 01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:36,119 we probably have the right shortlist to work off of. Though, Yeah, 1235 01:20:38,119 --> 01:20:40,359 Crisis, some people in Chad are, but you know, a blot of 1236 01:20:40,359 --> 01:20:43,880 people talk about Doc Crisis. Nobody's brave enough to make that there one game 1237 01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:47,199 right exactly. And that's that's where Dyno Crisis just is. It's overshadowed. 1238 01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:50,840 Yeah, I like Dino Crisis. I want I want not made it. 1239 01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:57,880 All right, So that means our short list is Mega Man two, Street 1240 01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:02,840 Fighter to Final Fight, Resident Evils one and four, Marvel versus Capcom two, 1241 01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:08,840 and Monster Hunter World. It's gonna be tough, Mike. I don't 1242 01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:12,039 think Final Fights stands a chance. No, I don't think so. Again, 1243 01:21:12,199 --> 01:21:15,720 like it deserves credit, it's a bit forgotten these days, but it 1244 01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:20,920 really did also create a genre, and it also kind of also kind of 1245 01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:24,720 kept street Fighter going. A bit that came up between street Fighter one and 1246 01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:30,119 two. It was almost called street Fighter two, which is funny. I 1247 01:21:30,199 --> 01:21:34,479 am moving Mega Man two and street Fighter two up absolute locks as absolute locks 1248 01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:39,479 as the mount rushmore Capcom games, because of course they are. And then 1249 01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:41,439 of course the Resident Evil game is going to be up there as well. 1250 01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:45,880 Is it Resuvable one and Resuable four? Should we just put up Resuable one? 1251 01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:46,760 I think I'm kind of with you at the end of the day with 1252 01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:50,199 resubal one. Listen, if we put up Recival four and not Resuable one, 1253 01:21:50,239 --> 01:21:54,399 I would also be okay with that. If I am choosing one of 1254 01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:57,359 the other, I think I also go with Residuable one. I think we 1255 01:21:57,520 --> 01:22:00,880 go with one. There's no four without one in this case. Resume one, 1256 01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:02,880 right, is also incredible. They're both incredibly important. They're also both 1257 01:22:03,039 --> 01:22:08,319 incredibly good. Maybe four is better, sure, but yeah, one one 1258 01:22:09,119 --> 01:22:12,479 did so much for gaming and it's still fun. I played through all of 1259 01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:15,199 the original one for the first time just a couple of years ago, and 1260 01:22:15,239 --> 01:22:17,600 I still had a great time with it. Like that leaves us one spot 1261 01:22:18,119 --> 01:22:23,479 for Marvel versus Capcom two or Monster Hunter World. Probably not gonna put Recivol 1262 01:22:23,479 --> 01:22:27,119 four up there as well, right, trust me, My heart again would 1263 01:22:27,159 --> 01:22:30,640 be Mars's Kaklon two, which is one of my favorite games ever. It's 1264 01:22:30,039 --> 01:22:32,880 monster. It's gotta be Monster Hunter World, right, It's got to be 1265 01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:35,079 Monster. If you put Monster Hunter World up there, and then you look 1266 01:22:35,079 --> 01:22:39,880 at the four games we have, like that really doesn't cast cast relate Capcom 1267 01:22:40,239 --> 01:22:42,279 very well? Yes, yeah, that's a good point as well. I 1268 01:22:42,319 --> 01:22:45,520 see what you did that because Capcom is capsule computer. Oh I didn't mean 1269 01:22:45,560 --> 01:22:53,560 that. That's funny, encapsulate comp companies games. How How did you also, 1270 01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:57,079 like when you were a kid see a Paula thirteen and then they said 1271 01:22:57,079 --> 01:23:00,720 the words like Capcom because that's like what they call you know, the people 1272 01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:03,520 on the radio, And we're like what, yeah, I mean my brain 1273 01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:06,199 definitely did that. But I'm like, well, I assume that's gotta meaning. 1274 01:23:06,279 --> 01:23:10,359 So it's capsule command right, because that, yes, that's what it 1275 01:23:10,399 --> 01:23:14,399 actually stands for. Incredible. I had to like go figure that out right 1276 01:23:14,399 --> 01:23:15,520 away after that movie. I'm like, what are they talking about there? 1277 01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:19,880 All right? So we have Mega Man two, Street Butter two, Receival, 1278 01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:24,760 and Monster Hunter World up there. How do you feel about the order? 1279 01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:28,840 The order doesn't matter. I for'm al much work right, Oh that's 1280 01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:31,439 right, Yeah, it's rights Moutrushmore. True. Okay, that's right, 1281 01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:34,239 all right, I could just delete these numbers even God, that's nice. 1282 01:23:34,319 --> 01:23:39,680 Okay, Hey, yeah that's right. Okay, So Mike read our Mount 1283 01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:43,319 Rushmore while I post this online. Yeah, are about Rushmoar of Capcom games 1284 01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:47,960 is Mega Man two, Resident, Resident Evil Street Better two and Monster Hunter 1285 01:23:48,239 --> 01:23:50,920 World. That's why I like it, Mount Rushmoors. We don't have to 1286 01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:57,199 order them. Job's done, all right, I posted. People can yell 1287 01:23:57,239 --> 01:24:00,279 at us, and they should. They should, but I think they're going 1288 01:24:00,319 --> 01:24:01,760 to be wrong. I think you should realize that. Yeah. So Capcom 1289 01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:06,319 just has a cornercopia of amazing games to pick from. This is probably the 1290 01:24:06,399 --> 01:24:12,760 most This is probably the most abceptible mon Rochemore you have ever done. Thank 1291 01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:16,439 you, Christian. I appreciate it. When we set out, I was 1292 01:24:16,479 --> 01:24:19,079 like, in my head, this is pretty much what it looked like. 1293 01:24:19,199 --> 01:24:21,760 I think I might have had Rescuing Will four in there instead of one. 1294 01:24:23,279 --> 01:24:27,880 But yes, this this looks right. Okay, that does it for the 1295 01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:30,800 Mount Rushmore. I think we're gonna take one more quick break, then we'll 1296 01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:32,520 talk about what we've been playing right after this. For me, it's been 1297 01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:40,520 a Capcom game and we are back and Mike, what have you been playing? 1298 01:24:42,279 --> 01:24:45,439 I haven't played that Dragon Song but two. Yeah, just still fell 1299 01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:49,840 pretty early in it, maybe like five ish hours. Definitely am enjoying it, 1300 01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:53,800 maybe like a little bit of like, ah, I'm not like super 1301 01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:56,920 in love with it yet, I almost like was the most in love with 1302 01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:00,279 it watching you play it today, just because things got so whack that listen, 1303 01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:02,680 I play, I play these games like a jackass, and I think 1304 01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:05,199 you kind of need to bring some of that energy to it. Maybe I 1305 01:25:05,359 --> 01:25:09,319 do. Yeah, Well, I mean I think that's I do think that's 1306 01:25:09,359 --> 01:25:12,920 part of this game is that I like a lot of people set up and 1307 01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:15,159 they play RPGs in the way that they play RPGs, And I think you 1308 01:25:15,239 --> 01:25:17,640 go to this game thinking it's an RPG, so I'm gonna play it that 1309 01:25:17,720 --> 01:25:23,880 way, and it's much more of a sandbox adventure game than it is even 1310 01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:26,880 an RPG, So you kind of have to go with the flow a little 1311 01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:29,920 bit and just try some stuff. Now, I think I lucked out by 1312 01:25:30,399 --> 01:25:34,159 picking the Thief class a really really fun location in the game, and like 1313 01:25:34,279 --> 01:25:38,319 it like starts off fun, and then the first upgrades you're getting for that 1314 01:25:38,399 --> 01:25:42,199 character make it even better really fast. And then I think I had some 1315 01:25:42,279 --> 01:25:45,199 really good pawns that have some really excellent abilities that make the battles look fun. 1316 01:25:45,239 --> 01:25:48,680 So, like, you know, wild Rose was just shooting fire constantly, 1317 01:25:49,039 --> 01:25:51,760 and I was getting into that ass and doing some cool attacks, and 1318 01:25:53,199 --> 01:25:57,199 Dark Mitch just yelling over the side doing whatever he's doing. It's it's like 1319 01:25:57,319 --> 01:26:00,840 it immediately turns into a good time, and then we'll just like try stuff 1320 01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:02,399 like let's just jump on the griffin and see what happens. He's got way 1321 01:26:02,399 --> 01:26:05,840 too much health and then suddenly we're flying over the ocean and and then what 1322 01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:11,399 happened happened. And so every time I play it, I like it more 1323 01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:15,000 and more. I think I also like it that it's one of these games 1324 01:26:15,039 --> 01:26:16,960 that's kind of you know, it's pretty common since the front software days have 1325 01:26:17,199 --> 01:26:21,319 kind of taken over of we're just gonna have our systems and we'll explain them, 1326 01:26:21,359 --> 01:26:24,800 but we're not going to really help you understand them all that deeply. 1327 01:26:25,199 --> 01:26:28,119 You kind of need either mess around with them or ask somebody. There's no 1328 01:26:28,319 --> 01:26:30,079 law against that. And so I'm playing it online. I'm asking you, 1329 01:26:30,439 --> 01:26:33,960 I'm asking you know, Jan and Dan, I'm asking chat. I'm getting 1330 01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:36,800 feedback and that kind of like creates this fun loop where it's like, let's 1331 01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:39,600 try this so we can figure that out. Oh, I got to go 1332 01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:42,199 talk to the innkeeper to put my stuff away. Yeah, it's a really 1333 01:26:42,239 --> 01:26:45,279 basic thing, but now I know how to use it, and I'm using 1334 01:26:45,319 --> 01:26:48,399 it all the time now, So I think I have it. A systems 1335 01:26:48,399 --> 01:26:53,279 heavy game like this, and one that is pretty confident in its systems and 1336 01:26:53,359 --> 01:26:55,640 kind of letting you just go out there and mess around with that stuff. 1337 01:26:56,039 --> 01:26:58,439 It's my kind of thing. I really enjoy it, and I think they 1338 01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:01,079 I think they nail it for the most part. So I've really been enjoying 1339 01:27:01,119 --> 01:27:04,680 it. I'm like very I'm technically very early on still. I probably have 1340 01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:09,880 played for about five hours now, but it doesn't feel like I've really scratched 1341 01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:13,439 the surface. I am doing many of the early quests that everyone talks about, 1342 01:27:13,479 --> 01:27:15,920 the you know, the calling the monsters. Everyone talks about that one. 1343 01:27:15,079 --> 01:27:17,439 I haven't even gone and done the one where it's like, hey, 1344 01:27:17,479 --> 01:27:19,960 go get these weapons that someone stole, so you can open up these other 1345 01:27:20,039 --> 01:27:24,479 vocations haven't even done that yet, so I'm still very early. I want 1346 01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:28,079 to see, like how the story opens up if it does. But part 1347 01:27:28,079 --> 01:27:30,800 of me is like, part of me is like, even if the story 1348 01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:33,760 doesn't turn into much, I'm already having these fun little tales that I can 1349 01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:38,279 tell of my own and misadventures with these characters, and so I'm very happy 1350 01:27:38,319 --> 01:27:41,840 with it. Yeah, I mean, I do love that that it does 1351 01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:44,640 kind of feel like you have a full adventuring party, which is something that 1352 01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:49,720 these kind of more open world RPGs maybe lacks sometimes, right, they can 1353 01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:53,720 kind of be very solitary affairs and firs. Sometimes like that works too, 1354 01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:57,920 Like the game is charm like it does in a Skyrim, a Witcher or 1355 01:27:57,960 --> 01:27:59,800 an outer Ring. But I do like that I do have these people. 1356 01:28:00,119 --> 01:28:01,760 Hey, maybe they're talking too much, but whatever, it's kind of fun, 1357 01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:04,479 and I do like how they do do things like they'll say, hey, 1358 01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:08,640 look, I know where a treasure chest is. Do you want to 1359 01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:11,119 follow me? You can push the button and then they'll start leading you there, 1360 01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:13,560 or you know, you could do things like throwing at me off a 1361 01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:15,560 cliff and then they'll be like, oh, that's neat, and then they'll 1362 01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:18,520 start doing that just like some kind of learning system going on there. Again, 1363 01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:23,239 like the game doesn't really explain that. You can kind of like discover 1364 01:28:23,359 --> 01:28:25,720 it. I'm like, okay, like now I'm curious, like how far 1365 01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:29,560 is that kind of thing to go? Yeah, it makes me want to 1366 01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:33,359 try even more things and keep these pawns around. I like. I like 1367 01:28:33,439 --> 01:28:39,920 playing these games often solo, even you know, apart from the AI companions, 1368 01:28:40,159 --> 01:28:42,800 because a lot of times I am doing stuff like picking up pigs and 1369 01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:47,039 throwing them stuff that is I don't need my NPCs around me questioning the morality 1370 01:28:47,079 --> 01:28:50,079 of what my character's doing because I am playing like a jackass, and that 1371 01:28:50,239 --> 01:28:54,760 the game reminded me that I'm doing that is less fun for me here. 1372 01:28:54,840 --> 01:28:58,359 It's just like, hey, you're throwing shit, I'm gonna throw shit on 1373 01:28:58,479 --> 01:29:01,319 That like encourages me to keep trying stuff to see what the NPCs are going 1374 01:29:01,399 --> 01:29:03,880 to learn, And then on top of that, it just kind of creates 1375 01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:10,800 these wild scenarios. So yeah, I am also having a good time just 1376 01:29:10,920 --> 01:29:14,960 like watching other people play or seeing the clips online and seeing what's possible, 1377 01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:17,119 and that also makes me want to go in there myself. But I think 1378 01:29:17,199 --> 01:29:21,680 for people that are going and expecting it to be one thing or that, 1379 01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:25,680 you know, they just want a game to maybe be more buttoned up in 1380 01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:28,279 a lot of ways, because that's you know, they were, you know, 1381 01:29:28,319 --> 01:29:30,920 I spend a lot of money on this game entertain me or whatever. 1382 01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:32,760 I think that's a perfectly valid thing. And I don't know how good of 1383 01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:36,159 a game this is at that. I don't know if it's gonna have some 1384 01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:42,239 epic tale that like it raptures people with characters that are worth caring about. 1385 01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:45,159 My suspicion is it's probably actually not very good at that kind of stuff. 1386 01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:48,720 And so I think if people are going in expecting that because of the way 1387 01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:53,199 this game presents itself, I bet it's going to be maybe disappointing to that 1388 01:29:53,319 --> 01:29:56,720 crowd. And I again, I don't blame them. I do think it's 1389 01:29:56,720 --> 01:30:00,159 an ugly game like performance stuff. Even aside, I don't really like the 1390 01:30:00,239 --> 01:30:05,159 game looks. It's very like dirty medieval fantasy. Really, it really looks 1391 01:30:05,279 --> 01:30:10,800 like back when you know, people lived in towns and castles and huts and 1392 01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:13,239 stuff. I'm like, all right. Yeah, I'm like, I'm not 1393 01:30:13,439 --> 01:30:15,079 on that side of the spectrum, but I get what you're saying. I 1394 01:30:15,279 --> 01:30:18,880 I like the way it looks for the most part. I don't. You're 1395 01:30:18,880 --> 01:30:23,239 a dirty, filthy guy. Yeah, I'm wearing crocs right now, so 1396 01:30:23,359 --> 01:30:28,279 I say exactly. I think it's okay how they were looks. It looks 1397 01:30:28,319 --> 01:30:31,920 okay. I really like the design of the of the or more and that 1398 01:30:32,079 --> 01:30:35,640 kind of stuff that it looks cool, especially like the most the most expensive 1399 01:30:35,720 --> 01:30:41,079 stuff that you can barely like afford, because everything is like super expensive in 1400 01:30:41,119 --> 01:30:44,800 this game for some reason. So I really like that that those designs. 1401 01:30:45,239 --> 01:30:48,319 I kind of like the things are expensive. There's too many of these games 1402 01:30:48,359 --> 01:30:51,199 where I just buy whatever the fuck I want because I haven't yet I agree 1403 01:30:51,239 --> 01:30:55,159 all the times. Yeah, even a person of three reload. I have 1404 01:30:55,319 --> 01:30:58,239 that problem. I have like all the money I could ever possibly need, 1405 01:30:58,399 --> 01:31:00,840 but doing not much right. I want the economy to be a system as 1406 01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:03,600 well, and it only works that way if there are things I can't afford. 1407 01:31:04,119 --> 01:31:08,239 They do talk early on about like pay attention to the prices because some 1408 01:31:08,359 --> 01:31:11,039 things are worth more in other areas. You could like make a lot of 1409 01:31:11,079 --> 01:31:14,560 money by buying and selling, and God, I think for me a personal 1410 01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:17,880 mount rushmore of video game mechanics is the arbitrage selling in sid Meier's Pirates. 1411 01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:20,000 I think about that all the time and how I want that in games. 1412 01:31:21,239 --> 01:31:25,439 They say that in this game. I have not experienced that myself yet, 1413 01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:28,279 but who knows. Maybe i'll play it more and that'll be something that actually 1414 01:31:28,279 --> 01:31:30,520 does pop up more frequently. I would like that if that were the case. 1415 01:31:30,600 --> 01:31:33,000 And at the very least, what you said about things being more expensive, 1416 01:31:33,039 --> 01:31:36,000 so they at least it makes me think about that. That's a good 1417 01:31:36,079 --> 01:31:41,680 sign. But you know, I think I like the way the enemies look. 1418 01:31:41,760 --> 01:31:44,600 I think I like the look design of the goblins, and the griffin 1419 01:31:44,680 --> 01:31:47,640 looks fantastic. They all animate very well. I think the like the movement 1420 01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:51,279 of the of the creatures is very good. So I don't think it's like 1421 01:31:51,880 --> 01:31:56,000 ugly in that it's like low effort. I think it's just that aesthetic is 1422 01:31:56,119 --> 01:31:59,119 going to be either your thing or not. I think for a lot of 1423 01:31:59,159 --> 01:32:01,439 people, like eventually I come to like some town like oh I wasn't expecting 1424 01:32:01,479 --> 01:32:05,720 something like this, or if it's going to be you know, no, 1425 01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:08,960 I got to a town that I think might be you know, kind of 1426 01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:13,239 looked a little bit more like Greece or something like that. I could, 1427 01:32:13,479 --> 01:32:15,279 I think you might be into that be a forum, a good forum. 1428 01:32:15,760 --> 01:32:19,279 Yeah. It's like it was like building built into a mountain side sort of 1429 01:32:19,359 --> 01:32:24,399 thing. Yeah, I thought that was pretty interesting. But yeah, I 1430 01:32:24,640 --> 01:32:26,640 need to play a lot more of it. And that's what I intend to 1431 01:32:26,720 --> 01:32:30,600 do. This is my game right now, not if I go back to 1432 01:32:30,640 --> 01:32:32,119 Rebirth. I'll go back to Rebirth after this. At this point, that's 1433 01:32:32,159 --> 01:32:35,640 where I'm at, so you know, uh, and then other than that, 1434 01:32:36,359 --> 01:32:39,119 you know, we were at packs, so not a lot of time 1435 01:32:39,159 --> 01:32:43,239 to play other things. Kind of been just like help my kids play some 1436 01:32:43,319 --> 01:32:45,600 games here and there. That's where I've been at. How about you anything 1437 01:32:45,600 --> 01:32:49,560 else? If I started Warhammer forty K bolt Gun for the Game Club and 1438 01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:54,960 I was really enjoying it, my only problem with it is that, like 1439 01:32:55,479 --> 01:32:58,760 it's apparently a ten hour game and I've been playing I've played it for like 1440 01:32:58,800 --> 01:33:01,479 three hours. I'm kind of like really like, I'm not like I'm a 1441 01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:04,399 third away through this. You know, it's a boomer shooter. It's great, 1442 01:33:04,680 --> 01:33:08,439 I don't know, right, but how much. Four and a half 1443 01:33:08,560 --> 01:33:11,920 hours is kind of where I expect exactly, so we'll see. I'm a 1444 01:33:11,960 --> 01:33:15,079 little worried that it's gonna feel kind of stretched thin there, but I do 1445 01:33:15,239 --> 01:33:18,199 really like it's very pretty game. It's very fun. It's funny because you 1446 01:33:18,239 --> 01:33:21,359 know, it looks like Quake, but it kind of feels like, you 1447 01:33:21,439 --> 01:33:25,199 know, the Doom remake in terms of the pacing and stuff like that. 1448 01:33:25,720 --> 01:33:28,039 Sure, that makes sense. That's probably like where a lot of those boomer 1449 01:33:28,079 --> 01:33:30,840 shooters are going to go, because updating the mechanics a little bit probably wouldn't 1450 01:33:30,880 --> 01:33:33,079 hurt. I did, I did, forgot. I did spend some time 1451 01:33:33,119 --> 01:33:38,920 with that South Park snow Day game seems pretty bad. Yeah, yeah, 1452 01:33:38,920 --> 01:33:40,600 I got a code. I got a code for you if you want to 1453 01:33:40,600 --> 01:33:44,000 play with us on UPF tomorrow. Yeah. Actually, remind me to start 1454 01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:45,439 installing that when we're done here. Okay, I'll send that over to you. 1455 01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:48,920 If I haven't already, I might have already done. So that's I 1456 01:33:49,319 --> 01:33:53,199 love how everyone's new jerk reaction is like, well, they must have done 1457 01:33:53,239 --> 01:33:56,560 this without Like Matt and Trey. It's like now they were on board, 1458 01:33:57,319 --> 01:34:00,720 Like I think based on watching that show a while ago, I think Matt 1459 01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:04,640 and Trait just have questionable video gamecased. I think that's just the case well 1460 01:34:04,640 --> 01:34:09,720 because like they were so famously upset at like those sixty four era games, 1461 01:34:10,159 --> 01:34:13,960 and I think maybe a little too saying we played a Chef's Love Shack, 1462 01:34:14,039 --> 01:34:15,880 that's what ongo and that's the game. I'm always feeling like it's so terrible 1463 01:34:16,079 --> 01:34:19,960 and I'm like, it's kind of silly and fun. I don't know whatever. 1464 01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:27,760 Yeah, uh so it is. It's a shooter. I guess hero 1465 01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:32,840 based, class based. I suppose a Marvel Rivals, Like it's a Marvel 1466 01:34:32,920 --> 01:34:36,960 Rivals, Like, yeah, it's got a single player campaign sort of thing 1467 01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:41,359 that you play. Uh that is I guess four hours long. I didn't 1468 01:34:41,359 --> 01:34:44,000 play much of that. I was like kind of waiting for the online sessions 1469 01:34:44,039 --> 01:34:45,680 and then I haven't done that yet, but I played through a little bit 1470 01:34:45,760 --> 01:34:48,359 like the tutorial and just kind of got an idea of how it felt, 1471 01:34:48,439 --> 01:34:53,279 and it's it's I don't know, it feels very basic. It feels fan 1472 01:34:53,439 --> 01:34:58,520 made in a lot of ways, insubstantial, and you know, the humor 1473 01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:00,359 is part of me. It was just assuming that this is, like, 1474 01:35:00,439 --> 01:35:02,640 hey, the South Park humor is not for me anymore, which when I 1475 01:35:02,680 --> 01:35:06,039 watched the show is how I feel about most episodes these days. So it's 1476 01:35:06,039 --> 01:35:08,880 like, yeah, it's just that. But I think also it might just 1477 01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:12,840 be poorly written. And you know, while Matt and Treyr they're doing the 1478 01:35:12,920 --> 01:35:16,159 voices, it's not like an inspired performance or something like that. I don't 1479 01:35:16,199 --> 01:35:19,520 know. I don't know who this is for. It feels like them being 1480 01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:24,000 like, we should make another game. Those RPGs take a long time. 1481 01:35:24,079 --> 01:35:28,039 This will be easier, and it definitely comes across that way where it's like 1482 01:35:28,079 --> 01:35:31,239 a less effort went into this game. But we'll play it on the site 1483 01:35:31,239 --> 01:35:33,560 tomorrow. We're gonna play it on Giant Bob tomorrow. Everybody's so tuning for 1484 01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:35,439 that. I don't know how long we're going to play because I want to 1485 01:35:35,439 --> 01:35:39,199 play some other shit too, but yeah, thank you for your sacrifice. 1486 01:35:40,199 --> 01:35:44,680 Absolutely. I did also play that Outcast game, the nineteen ninety release, 1487 01:35:45,279 --> 01:35:48,239 nineteen ninety nine release, like one of the first open world games that the 1488 01:35:48,319 --> 01:35:53,479 new one came out, right, Dan talked about that on the bomb Cast, 1489 01:35:53,760 --> 01:35:55,920 and I'm curious about that. I'm going to play that. But then 1490 01:35:55,960 --> 01:35:58,680 I was like, I was like trying to remember outcasts because I was like, 1491 01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:00,600 is that the Fox one? And they called it the Vauxhel Engine. 1492 01:36:00,640 --> 01:36:03,039 I still don't know what that means, but I'm I need to figure out 1493 01:36:03,039 --> 01:36:05,520 more. So I saw the Digital Founder did a sponsored video about it, 1494 01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:10,680 and I watched that and it just looks so weird. It's like the character's 1495 01:36:10,720 --> 01:36:14,520 got this like slow trot animation where he kind of hops side to side as 1496 01:36:14,520 --> 01:36:18,279 he runs forward and he's got to like explore this whole open world, and 1497 01:36:18,760 --> 01:36:20,600 I don't know, it just looked really weird. So I got it up 1498 01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:24,000 and around on my PC. You can get the one point one version on 1499 01:36:24,079 --> 01:36:28,000 Steam that they were re released into twenty fourteen, and it's it is a 1500 01:36:28,199 --> 01:36:30,239 very strange thing. I kind of had a hard time understanding what I was 1501 01:36:30,239 --> 01:36:33,560 supposed to be doing, but that's maybe what you should expect from maybe the 1502 01:36:33,680 --> 01:36:40,159 first open world game on computers. Ever. All right, That's that does 1503 01:36:40,199 --> 01:36:42,600 it for me, though, Mike, anything else? No, I got 1504 01:36:42,640 --> 01:36:45,399 some more super chats here. Let's hit those and then we'll get out of 1505 01:36:45,399 --> 01:36:47,960 here. Mikey Oleari says, just a PSA tonight for chat. If you 1506 01:36:48,039 --> 01:36:51,000 have Team Mobile, you can get a free or of MLB TV right now, 1507 01:36:51,359 --> 01:36:55,920 Baseball fans rise up. Yeah, Opening Day, I'll get mine a 1508 01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:59,279 T mobile. I have to see if I'm actually able to watch The Guardians 1509 01:36:59,319 --> 01:37:03,239 on TV this year. I haven't been able to forever because Bally Sports whatever 1510 01:37:03,399 --> 01:37:08,199 just refuse to make a deal with anybody, and they keep saying we're developing 1511 01:37:08,239 --> 01:37:12,079 our own app, and then they don't. Amazon bought Bally Sports, so 1512 01:37:12,479 --> 01:37:15,479 I would hope maybe Prime can get some of that stuff. I would hope. 1513 01:37:15,520 --> 01:37:16,920 So I'm gonna google that after this and see if I'm gonna actually be 1514 01:37:16,920 --> 01:37:20,840 able to watch like Opening Day and stuff. That would be nice. Uh. 1515 01:37:21,199 --> 01:37:26,079 Steven S says, who would you hot dog guys to turn into your 1516 01:37:26,159 --> 01:37:34,039 bionic command arm? What? Who would you hot dog guys to turn it 1517 01:37:34,079 --> 01:37:36,159 to your bio commander? All right, I'll just say it. I've been 1518 01:37:36,199 --> 01:37:45,800 thinking about her now, Chung Lee. I would do Joseph Lieberman the ten. 1519 01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:47,119 Derek says, there's zero chance that makes it, but please at least 1520 01:37:47,119 --> 01:37:49,840 say the words Ace Attorney, so I can trick myself to think it has 1521 01:37:49,840 --> 01:37:55,239 a chance. It had a chance. I love Ace Attorney so much. 1522 01:37:55,600 --> 01:37:58,800 Gosh, that's a special game. I have my pillow back. There's here. 1523 01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:00,640 I'll go through my camera jection. There you go see. I like 1524 01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:03,960 it. Attorney, It's okay. I'm one of you. Andrew. Andrew 1525 01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:06,760 on Twitter says, all your rush wars are so questionable. Good thing you 1526 01:38:06,800 --> 01:38:13,239 guys put on a good show. This one seems like the most unassailable we've 1527 01:38:13,279 --> 01:38:16,239 ever done. Andrew, I'm sorry, I know. I was like like, 1528 01:38:16,279 --> 01:38:18,760 oh, I understand, like you're gonna have your favorites, but how 1529 01:38:18,840 --> 01:38:20,960 can you like, look, how can you look these for it and be 1530 01:38:21,039 --> 01:38:28,359 like that's bullshit? Yeah? Uh yeah, go any other super chats Yeah 1531 01:38:28,439 --> 01:38:30,760 yeah, yeah from h oh Greug. I prefer magamunt x over too. 1532 01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:34,199 But Jeff just turned sixty seventh last week, so I can see to getting 1533 01:38:34,239 --> 01:38:41,439 on set. Wait till you find out how old George Washington is. Uh, 1534 01:38:42,359 --> 01:38:44,800 you know, at this point, the dage difference between Mega Man two 1535 01:38:44,840 --> 01:38:47,800 and Mega Men X isn't all that much. No, it's basically one year. 1536 01:38:48,079 --> 01:38:53,319 Basically, it's not much. Mus Spreaksy says, you guys have infected 1537 01:38:53,359 --> 01:38:55,359 my brain. This is the first super chet. I was talking to my 1538 01:38:55,439 --> 01:38:59,199 mom about a new show. I said, it's like Columbros. Keep up 1539 01:38:59,239 --> 01:39:01,960 the good word. I really appreciate it. Yeah, I appreciate that moves. 1540 01:39:02,680 --> 01:39:08,800 Chris Pratt says, I remember back in Yeah, Chris Son, I 1541 01:39:08,880 --> 01:39:15,720 remember back, Chris, I'm talking to this. I remember back in nineteen 1542 01:39:15,760 --> 01:39:19,560 eighty six when I was in the arcade stopping uh coups. That's how you 1543 01:39:19,720 --> 01:39:25,720 know of one of you. BRB gotta eat with my babe Mia Moto. 1544 01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:30,600 Chris Son's so cool. Chris sounds so cool. I I do think about 1545 01:39:30,600 --> 01:39:33,479 that story he told about doing laundry and seeing the Mario Arcade machine, like 1546 01:39:33,600 --> 01:39:36,720 man if I have corners, Oh boy, when I play a video game. 1547 01:39:38,199 --> 01:39:41,119 But Chris, it's okay, we get it. You're a hired actor. 1548 01:39:41,560 --> 01:39:43,840 One day I'm gonna play that. See he said something, I'm all 1549 01:39:43,920 --> 01:39:46,399 like playing the character Mario when he was looking at that. Oh is that 1550 01:39:46,479 --> 01:39:50,039 what he meant? That's what he meant him was crazy? Oh boy, 1551 01:39:50,520 --> 01:39:55,479 Chris sounds the best. Are we allowed to say? Song? Because I 1552 01:39:55,520 --> 01:39:58,800 was talking as in my Focacy sixteen interview, I wanted to talk with the 1553 01:39:58,840 --> 01:40:01,319 composer to and you know I was talking to oh P Japanese, So I 1554 01:40:01,399 --> 01:40:06,520 said, soaking Son I was like, I should my understanding, it's just 1555 01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:12,359 like saying mister mister min what I assumed that's all that is, Yes, 1556 01:40:12,840 --> 01:40:16,680 you're not You're not allowed to say Soka chan like that would be or soca 1557 01:40:16,840 --> 01:40:20,720 soaking coun would be way too much offensive because he's not younger than you, 1558 01:40:21,279 --> 01:40:28,279 Chris Press. That's Chan is the young one. Se is like younger, 1559 01:40:28,479 --> 01:40:35,399 cuter, which one boys too? Yeah, what's Coon? Then I thought 1560 01:40:35,439 --> 01:40:41,039 coon? Was that is like your home like people your age they kind of 1561 01:40:41,239 --> 01:40:48,199 like, yeah, something like the hierarchy are lovers? Did you do coon 1562 01:40:48,279 --> 01:40:53,359 for lovers? That would be weird. It would be it would be like 1563 01:40:53,479 --> 01:40:58,000 if I was talking about you, Mike in the in the in the context 1564 01:40:58,039 --> 01:41:00,520 of Giant Bomb, I could call you like Mike Ko. Okay, you 1565 01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:05,119 know we're like on the same Chris Press that we can call him Chris Chan. 1566 01:41:05,239 --> 01:41:09,520 So that's okay. So I think I was I was playing like a 1567 01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:12,720 dragon infinite wealth, and I think it confused me because he when he was 1568 01:41:12,760 --> 01:41:15,680 talking to the girl, he called her what's her name? Chan? But 1569 01:41:15,840 --> 01:41:18,520 she is younger and she is cuter, so that definition now makes sense. 1570 01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:24,159 Yeah, it's like you you usually would use it for a girl, but 1571 01:41:24,319 --> 01:41:28,239 it's like it's it's also or yeah, also it's like someone right he did? 1572 01:41:28,319 --> 01:41:30,199 Yeah. I think the reason I thought that it was actually the guy 1573 01:41:30,279 --> 01:41:34,760 that turns out to be whatever. I'm not gonna spoil again, but he's 1574 01:41:34,840 --> 01:41:38,880 like, hey, you called me chan or like we're already friends. So 1575 01:41:38,920 --> 01:41:41,760 I assumed that meant friends, but maybe he was because that character is also 1576 01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:47,439 younger. It is Japanese. Japanese is very gendered, so like those terms 1577 01:41:47,680 --> 01:41:53,119 usually applied to just one gender, but they technically can't be. It's more 1578 01:41:53,119 --> 01:41:57,079 of like a what you would normally do, yeah, call like a female 1579 01:41:57,159 --> 01:42:01,520 student kun sometimes like all the time, yeah, yeah, all right, 1580 01:42:01,600 --> 01:42:03,640 well shit, okay we earned something new every day. Here you go. 1581 01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:09,600 But yeah, the thing is you could say son. Yeah so uh in 1582 01:42:09,920 --> 01:42:15,399 shoguin they say sama. Is that like a super respectful is my understanding? 1583 01:42:15,399 --> 01:42:19,079 The biggest Yeah, this is a very very respectfully. Wait is like a 1584 01:42:19,199 --> 01:42:25,680 person you almost like revere, ok, and if you're like like if if 1585 01:42:25,800 --> 01:42:28,439 and if they are, it would be like very sarcastic. It feels like 1586 01:42:28,479 --> 01:42:31,960 your homie called them sama. Yes, all right, good to know, 1587 01:42:32,199 --> 01:42:34,760 mikey uh, do we get any other super chats. Are we good? 1588 01:42:35,399 --> 01:42:41,239 No grub Sama, I don't think that was sarcastic. Well in that case, 1589 01:42:41,319 --> 01:42:43,319 let's hit the music, get us out of here. Mike, you 1590 01:42:43,359 --> 01:42:46,359 what do you got going on? A seisters dude? I guess I think 1591 01:42:46,399 --> 01:42:49,800 I'm doing something in my family for that. But I would like to play 1592 01:42:49,840 --> 01:42:55,119 some more Dragons Pagma Victims. Doing a lot with Persona three and that game 1593 01:42:55,199 --> 01:42:59,760 is very very good still, so continuing to kind of get to the end 1594 01:42:59,800 --> 01:43:02,359 game that once I beat that, then I will have a new nighttime game, 1595 01:43:02,439 --> 01:43:05,079 and there's options there. I probably will play more while you'll go first, 1596 01:43:05,520 --> 01:43:12,399 but then maybe do Unicorn Overlord or Infinite Wealth one of those. A 1597 01:43:12,479 --> 01:43:16,079 lot of games to play. Yeah, anything you're like the next big release 1598 01:43:16,079 --> 01:43:19,039 you're looking forward to after Dragon's Dogma. I'm trying to think, like I 1599 01:43:19,079 --> 01:43:21,720 don't like, like, I know Stellar Blade has a Dumbo coming out, 1600 01:43:21,760 --> 01:43:24,720 but like I don't know when that is. I don't know how excited I 1601 01:43:24,760 --> 01:43:28,680 am for that. I'm gonna that's another I'm gonna play that. I'm bombed 1602 01:43:28,800 --> 01:43:30,680 on UPF tomorrow. I'm gonna play that demo. Yeah, I always did 1603 01:43:30,800 --> 01:43:33,800 think like after Dragonslaw at too, at least for me. I think it 1604 01:43:33,960 --> 01:43:38,000 slows down a bit at least until like you know, like the summer, 1605 01:43:38,079 --> 01:43:40,680 you're gonna get the I'll get the Outer Ring deal c and then the final 1606 01:43:40,760 --> 01:43:45,000 Fantasy fourteen expansion like back to back, so that'll keep you busy, but 1607 01:43:45,119 --> 01:43:46,920 maybe till then I finally have a little bit of a break. Here, 1608 01:43:47,399 --> 01:43:50,159 we'll see. I got some smaller games I'm looking forward to, like that 1609 01:43:50,239 --> 01:43:54,800 Children of the Sun is coming out April ninth. I'll play that. I'll 1610 01:43:55,359 --> 01:43:58,439 maybe make back of our play that. Harold Hell the game is interested and 1611 01:43:58,479 --> 01:44:03,720 I'll watch him play or something. Is iout in Chronicle Monicles one hundred Heroes? 1612 01:44:03,840 --> 01:44:08,239 Is that finally coming out? It's coming out this year April twenty third. 1613 01:44:08,279 --> 01:44:11,159 It's April twenty third.

But I don't know. 1618 01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:27,720 Oh, Hell Blake two is May twenty first. That's I'm not that I 1619 01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:30,800 always forgot. I always I always assumed that was going to be a fall 1620 01:44:30,840 --> 01:44:32,159 game. So when it wasn't, I was like, I had a lot 1621 01:44:32,159 --> 01:44:35,319 of kids ever about that game being like some big fall game and think we 1622 01:44:35,319 --> 01:44:39,720 already dollars still and it's coming out like eight hours. I was like, 1623 01:44:39,800 --> 01:44:43,279 oh, okay, the system shocks coming to everything else. May twenty first, 1624 01:44:44,159 --> 01:44:45,720 that I want to go and play more than I actually remember that. 1625 01:44:45,720 --> 01:44:48,039 It'll be something I played this summer because I'm I'm right there with you, 1626 01:44:48,760 --> 01:44:51,920 Mario the thousand year Door twenty excite for that. Actually, I am any 1627 01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:56,119 excited for that. All right, everybody, thanks for watching. Catch you 1628 01:44:56,199 --> 01:45:25,279 next time. Thank you so much. June eighteenth, Bloody Manti, Mike 1629 01:45:25,520 --> 01:45:32,439 mana litch, don't battle me. Most people are beating it right now, 1630 01:45:36,880 --> 01:45:44,760 all right, so we just got to it, all right, I am 1631 01:45:44,840 --> 01:45:50,479 ready. Let's make it happen. Okay, all right, all right, 1632 01:45:50,720 --> 01:45:57,319 cool. Let's look. You saw a video of p and yeah, no 1633 01:45:57,439 --> 01:46:02,880 were we delayed the release of Don Trail a week, so a week you 1634 01:46:02,920 --> 01:46:09,720 had to play, so you he delayed for him? Yeah, you're right, 1635 01:46:10,079 --> 01:46:15,439 he wants to play the elder Ring Philadelphia, all right, an elden 1636 01:46:15,520 --> 01:46:23,960 Ring final Fantasy fourteen crossover that was so cool. Return Saturday and then return 1637 01:46:24,039 --> 01:46:29,479 on Saturday night. Fine trains. I think am track goes through Philadelphia. 1638 01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:35,960 That would make sense. Yeah, oh man, it's problem makes sense. 1639 01:46:38,159 --> 01:46:41,600 Problem it takes the train takes a long time, so I probably should just 1640 01:46:41,680 --> 01:46:44,319 drive. I just don't want to drive, for it's a long drive. 1641 01:46:44,720 --> 01:46:49,000 Pennsylvania is a stupid long state. Pennsylvania should be like a third the size 1642 01:46:49,039 --> 01:46:53,039 that it is. You really hate the idea of the night with Mike that 1643 01:46:53,239 --> 01:46:59,479 much? I just I did. Jason Vanelli came on Game this morning's talked 1644 01:46:59,560 --> 01:47:02,800 up the kalgating. The food sounds so good. I'm probably end up gonna 1645 01:47:02,840 --> 01:47:06,000 end up going to MIC's. That's probably the right thing to do. Is 1646 01:47:06,039 --> 01:47:12,399 it Pennsylvania really shaped because of racism? Like the other states? Most states 1647 01:47:12,439 --> 01:47:18,159 are like the other for the United States. Yeah, our counties, our 1648 01:47:18,239 --> 01:47:23,199 county, our voting districts are very weirdly shaped because of racism. You might 1649 01:47:23,239 --> 01:47:26,880 be thinking of that, although I guess I don't really. Yeah, what 1650 01:47:26,960 --> 01:47:30,439 are the borders of the states. I suppose they're probably also shaped that way. 1651 01:47:30,600 --> 01:47:33,479 For reasons I'm not remembering. Fuck well, I don't know which state 1652 01:47:33,479 --> 01:47:36,960 of the Virginia West Virginia. Definitely, yes, yeah, one say it 1653 01:47:38,079 --> 01:47:40,880 was like, yeah, we give you these huge piece of land so we 1654 01:47:41,000 --> 01:47:44,560 can like keep our slaves or something like that. Okay, yes, totally, 1655 01:47:44,600 --> 01:47:49,079 yes, yes, Oklahoma shaped the way it is because of racism. 1656 01:47:49,399 --> 01:47:58,079 Fun. Yeah. Also jerry mandering, that's that, yeah right, that 1657 01:47:58,239 --> 01:48:01,560 is the counties and the voting tricks. Yes, wild stuff. You know. 1658 01:48:01,600 --> 01:48:05,760 It's called that because there was a guy who named Gary. Yeah really, 1659 01:48:06,119 --> 01:48:08,960 are you just with me because I believe no, No, it's like, 1660 01:48:09,039 --> 01:48:11,479 yeah, it's a guy who like drew the map. There was something 1661 01:48:11,600 --> 01:48:14,199 Gary is Everyone called it. What what is this? It looked like a 1662 01:48:14,239 --> 01:48:16,119 summer, like some kind of Gary mander. Everyone laughed, And now we 1663 01:48:16,239 --> 01:48:21,439 still called jerry mandering. Now, yes, said Outbridge, Jerry. Fair 1664 01:48:21,520 --> 01:48:25,560 enough. There, if I get on a train at at two am, 1665 01:48:25,640 --> 01:48:28,920 i can get there by three pm. That seems kind of late. It 1666 01:48:28,960 --> 01:48:31,359 seems like a really long time just to eat some food in a parking. 1667 01:48:31,359 --> 01:48:34,960 Look, it's a really long time just to avoid going to your house. 1668 01:48:38,159 --> 01:48:41,920 Wow, Mike, I'm probably coupled over, is what? It looks like 1669 01:48:42,079 --> 01:48:45,600 alright, good, all right, I think we are Yeah, I think 1670 01:48:45,640 --> 01:48:47,920 we're good. I'll bring it back in. Do you have you have the 1671 01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:54,520 tread ready? But no, give me a second. It's full time, 1672 01:48:56,079 --> 01:49:03,319 good job, full time's gay? Okay, Jerry, So just the guy 1673 01:49:03,319 --> 01:49:09,600 you got to kill if you go back in time, Yeah, then you 1674 01:49:09,680 --> 01:49:13,359 fix your country. Yes, sure, sure, No other racist person would 1675 01:49:13,399 --> 01:49:15,680 have had that. Ye no, yeah, that'll never know that. He 1676 01:49:15,840 --> 01:49:24,399 was the only one we found the racist. Everybody racist the Seed of Evil 1677 01:49:25,560 --> 01:49:29,079 Dance and Mount Rushmore capcom games. I don't think that one quite fits, 1678 01:49:30,880 --> 01:49:35,800 he says Mario golfing. I gotta I got a feeling he's listening to our 1679 01:49:35,840 --> 01:49:45,640 podcast while playing Mario sitting that whiff, which not a bad idea. Yeah, 1680 01:49:45,760 --> 01:49:50,640 a Nintendo game, and maybe like canis get there? We'll get there. 1681 01:49:51,000 --> 01:49:57,000 It will get shift confused. I'm not confused by it. It's just 1682 01:49:57,239 --> 01:50:03,319 worse than freaking. I'm always confused. That's not why I don't like confused. 1683 01:50:03,319 --> 01:50:08,479 When I played Links Awakening, I love that game. Different from the 1684 01:50:09,159 --> 01:50:12,840 well, I know I don't have to put up with this ship visual de 1685 01:50:12,880 --> 01:50:17,079 sign. This Links Awakening is the second worst Links awakening is the second worst. 1686 01:50:19,520 --> 01:50:21,960 Oh my god, I forgot to get access to that.
