WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:11.880 You'll be like a be bad. It's the internet. You're busy. Let's 2 00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:15.599 do this first episode ever of a podcast I've ever done on January four, 3 00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:18.800 twenty twenty four. For the next hour or so, let me help you 4 00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:22.679 sort through the world of gaming on Game Mess Mornings Live with Me Jeff Greb. 5 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:26.039 Today we have like a Dragon previews and a child beat Tetris, so 6 00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:29.280 we should probably put them in charge of everything. But first please join me 7 00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.719 and welcome you. Today's co host the Game Mess Mornings. It's Scott McCrae. 8 00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:36.560 Everybody, Scott, how are you doing. I'm good, happy to 9 00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.799 start this podcast for the first time. That's right. I'm just glad to 10 00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:43.560 have you unmuted. I was like, oh that would been fun. I 11 00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:46.479 didn't have you unmuted either. No, we're good. We got everybody can 12 00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.840 hear us? Am I coming through? We're coming anyway coming through it? 13 00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:53.520 Yeah? No, I'm good. I'm still recovering from the you know, 14 00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:58.439 the time off. But uh huh aren't we all? You know, everyone 15 00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:02.159 seemed to get sick and and even if you didn't like it was it's just 16 00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:03.959 a lot, you know, You're always be like I want to pack in 17 00:01:03.959 --> 00:01:07.319 a bunch of plans at the end of the year and then or even if 18 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:10.799 you don't, like just like decorating the house and I'm going to take all 19 00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:12.079 the decorations down, and I'm like looking around, I'm like, I haven't 20 00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.599 really started doing that yet. So it's like weighing on me. But I 21 00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.719 think I think I'm gonna go watch a sporting event this weekend. I'm gonna 22 00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.120 go see that the Lions at their last regular season game of the season in 23 00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:26.640 the NFL. I'm gonna go to Detroit and watch that, so I have 24 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:27.760 that to look forward to. But then that just gets me thinking, like, 25 00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:32.480 Okay, I was gonna take down the Christmas decorations this weekend. Now 26 00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:34.439 I'm definitely not gonna do that, So who knows when that's gonna happen. 27 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.719 So, yeah, I know what you mean, Like there's so much happening. 28 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.840 I feel like I need a break from the break. But you know, 29 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.040 you got right back to work. There's there's plenty of stuff to do. 30 00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:49.200 Were you was that transition to getting back into things difficult? I mean 31 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:55.599 I took the week before Christmas off and then I was back in for the 32 00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:57.519 next few days. After Christmas, but then I was off again for another 33 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.719 like three days. So I'm like, as soon as I'm getting to get 34 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:02.760 back out at the swag of things, I'm back out of it. So 35 00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:08.879 you know, I'm slowly, but surely, hopefully by like two weeks from 36 00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:13.039 now, I'll be right there where I need to be. Yeah, that's 37 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.439 that's usually what I need, like, you know, a running start of 38 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:21.800 two weeks before I really can feel anything again. Absolutely, We're we're doing 39 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:24.199 pretty good over here at Giant Bomb. We got everyone sort of back on 40 00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:28.439 the same page, except for of course, then like as soon as we're 41 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.919 coming back, like the day before chance like I'm not feeling so well. 42 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.800 And then of course he tests positive for COVID. So we're just letting that 43 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.479 little boy sleep. Although I think it's it's weird because he's still like this 44 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:42.439 little grimlin in the machine where I think he's still doing some of the things 45 00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.000 like getting the pages ready. Sean might be doing this stuff. I know, 46 00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:46.039 Sean, if you're doing it, let me know. But I think 47 00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.159 Jan's like getting a lot of stuff set up still in the background, and 48 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:52.719 he does I don't hear from him, cause I think he knows if he 49 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:53.360 like was like, hey, I'm gonna do this, we'll be like, 50 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:57.199 go to sleep, Jan But I think he feels so guilty he still has 51 00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.199 to do stuff. So oh our wolves as they're doing it in Chad of 52 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.919 course, how'd you get in the machine? How are you our new gremlin? 53 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.319 We gotta clear out all these gremlins. Scott, all right, so 54 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:09.759 you know what. Let's explain what we do here most weekdays. I Jeff 55 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:14.560 Grubwell piece you're gaming life back together. That includes breaking news and maybe even 56 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.360 some of our own original reporting. For all these topics, I'll get input 57 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:21.439 from a bona fide expert who will make me look smart. If you are 58 00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.080 watching live on Twitch welcome.

All right, we have a lot to get 62 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:42.080 into, so let's start the Morning Mess with like a Dragon Infinite wealth, 63 00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:46.719 Fine tunes the RPG formula to find its own identity. This is from Scott 64 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.680 McCrae at Mirror dot co dot uk. We talked about this last time that 65 00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:53.680 you mentioned to me, Hey, I might have a preview for like a 66 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.120 Dragon Infinite Wealth. Let's talk about it. And here we are. You 67 00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:01.759 have looked into the new offerings from the Cold Dragon series and you're pretty familiar 68 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:06.039 with it, right, How are you feeling about Infinite Wealth? So? 69 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:11.680 I love the last one. I'm not really an RPG person despite that, 70 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.920 but somehow it really clicked and I don't know, I don't know why. 71 00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:19.800 That just feels like the big one. This feels like the biggest thing they've 72 00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:25.600 done since like yak is zero popped off, Like in terms of how big 73 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:28.519 the game actually is and in terms of how big it feels like. It 74 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:31.600 feels like an event in a way that Yaks at least hasn't before. But 75 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:41.720 you know, it's it's really good. You know, maybe it's going to 76 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.879 be a hard few months, the next couple of months, considering how many 77 00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:46.720 one hundred hour long RPGs we're going to have, But if you had to 78 00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:51.360 pick one, I think this is the one. Yeah, why I've played 79 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:55.360 Yeah, And I mean a lot of that just comes down to that they 80 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:59.199 continued to build on what they've done with these games. For so long and 81 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.000 now they they reset things a little bit when they went to Like a Dragon 82 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:10.480 and they went to the new protagonists and Ichiban, but they still kept a 83 00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:14.439 lot of what made Yakuza and then Like a Dragons and what they are, 84 00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.839 uh, And this one feels like they are really building on things in a 85 00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:20.399 lot of ways. It feels like they have a ton of confidence that people 86 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:25.079 want what they're selling and that this is going to be the biggest one of 87 00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:30.160 those yet. Is that the sense you've got? Yeah, I mean there's 88 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:32.160 like there was a Q and A and stuff like that, which is gonna 89 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.399 go up over the weekend. I mean, I think if you please to 90 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:39.040 have it up just now. But it basically like they basically said, like 91 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:42.600 yeah no, if I mean, if the last one then land, it 92 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:46.399 probably wouldn't have been you know, turn based going forward. But at that 93 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:48.839 so, you know, I think that's very much feels like, you know, 94 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:54.240 like we're confident. Now let's go for it. Let's really push the 95 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:58.000 turn based than how far it can go. And obviously, you know, 96 00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.000 I've played about four hours from game that's going to be you know, a 97 00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.040 hundred, right, so I can't quite tell you how big it's going to 98 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:10.040 be, but it feels huge in a way that kind of none of these 99 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:15.560 games have before the I tried to read your previous this morning, and some 100 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.120 of the things that stuck out to me, improve combat mechanics. Is that 101 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:25.199 something that you were able to notice. You said you liked Yakisra seven and 102 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:30.639 then are like a Dragon and that was turn based. It's still turn based, 103 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.240 but what have they done to shake things up and maybe improve it? 104 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:36.040 In your opinion? So, I mean, I think anyone who played seven 105 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:41.000 probably remembers that, like the biggest issue with it was like, Okay, 106 00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:45.199 your characters are walking about. You have these like AoE attacks or these attacks 107 00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:47.800 that move in a line, but you can't really control where your character goes. 108 00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:51.519 That's the biggest thing. Like they've done that they allow you to move 109 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:55.920 about and you can actually line up these attacks, which seems like a basic 110 00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:59.839 thing, but like it changes up in a big way. And I just 111 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:01.920 think, like moved automatically in the last one, right, yes, okay 112 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:06.600 that's what you're saying. Yeah, And it feels the last one is very 113 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:11.240 dragon quest. This feels like more of its own thing, Like it's quite 114 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.399 like it's got more of its own identity now than it did, because like 115 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:19.360 even Kreu alone has like a bunch of different mechanics, like he's got style 116 00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:24.720 switching from zero and he's got his the special movie. You can do a 117 00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:28.319 reburs out of turn base and you can like play like as a normal yeahk 118 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:30.839 as a game for like twenty seconds or something like that. So like they 119 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:36.560 are they are trying to carve out their own niche rather than just go straight 120 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:40.040 Dragon Quest with this one, and you can like feel it, like it 121 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:46.120 definitely feels like an improvement over what the last game was because last game wasn't 122 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:47.839 really carried by its gameplay. It was carried by the story and all that, 123 00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:51.319 which, yeah, it's still very good, but you know, at 124 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:56.639 least it's more of it's less of a frustrating combat experience now, just even 125 00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:01.360 from those like small details. Yeah, I think having like a Dragon seven 126 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.759 be set up is like, no, this is not just inspired by Dragon 127 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.240 Quest. It is admittedly inspired by Dragon Quest, like that was part of 128 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.040 the story. Is like this is how Eachibond views the world and treating that 129 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.759 as like, Okay, this is how we are going to enter the space 130 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.959 of turn based combat. And now it's like, well, yeah, okay, 131 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.839 you could do that, but at a certain point that is still like 132 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.480 Dragon Quest thing, and people are happy to have dragon Quests keep doing it, 133 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:33.720 but they have expected more and different things from turn based combat from other 134 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.679 games that aren't Dragon Quest, because they want that stuff to evolve, and 135 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.159 you know, to be fair, I think Like a Dragon had a lot 136 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.559 of interesting things going on, at least in terms of the spectacle of the 137 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.840 combat, all the you know, the weird summons and things you can do 138 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:48.279 with the phone. I think we're always keeping things fresh and interesting, but 139 00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:52.360 I think people still want more and different things from the combat, and so 140 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.759 the fact that they are making this their own and building their own identity is 141 00:08:54.759 --> 00:09:01.000 probably the right choice after doing the dragon Quest inspired thing last time. So 142 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.679 as you're playing it, like moving characters around that you feel like that is 143 00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.720 is that like a tactical thing. You're like, You're gonna be able to 144 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:07.679 get an advantage, like I'm going to be able to come from the side 145 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.480 or what you should like line people up? What does that mean? Yeah, 146 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.720 so it's not like it's not like free movement. You have like a 147 00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:18.600 kind of cone around you, and I believe that it gets bigger and bigger 148 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.120 as you level up. But you know, in the last game, you 149 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.960 had attacks that were like you're going to run in a straight line and take 150 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.320 out everyone in the straight line, but it was useless because you couldn't line 151 00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.320 yourself up so that there's like three people in a row. You would just 152 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:35.039 have to hope the character did that by themselves. So it's like more stuff 153 00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.960 like that where these away attacks can be like actually efficient to use because you 154 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.480 can, you know, choose where you're standing, you can aim them, 155 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.840 rather than having to hope that you know it will aim itself and just work 156 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.600 for you. And again it's like it's such a small change, but it's 157 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.279 such a big change in the grand scheme of it because it makes the combat 158 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.679 a lot more, you know, adds that extra layer to rather than it's 159 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.039 you engaged. I think, yeah, yeah, And I mean that's that's 160 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:03.759 the biggest thing I think they had to do with the combat from the last 161 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:09.279 one. Then when it comes to the other thing that I think I want 162 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:13.559 to think of this series now, it is wild side things things that are 163 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:20.799 you know, these distractions that turn into games onto themselves. They are promising 164 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:22.480 not just like oh yeah, of course we're doing that. They're promising more 165 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:28.879 than ever, right, yeah, what does that look like? So we 166 00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:33.519 the kind of preview was spun in like four canabts. We did like a 167 00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:39.360 Hawaii section and then we did Japan section. But one of the sections was 168 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.159 that I believe the film name is Happy Resort on Dokal Island. Yes, 169 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:50.279 that's right, animal crossing. It's you know, you want to I want 170 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:54.200 to like about it, but it's it's animal crossing, but it's like four 171 00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:56.240 year old men rather than like two animals. And they're not even trying to 172 00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:00.759 like they're not trying to hide it again, they're like happy to be admitting 173 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.440 that this is what they're going for. Right. Yeah. It's like you 174 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.960 go into a deserted island. You have to clear out trash, you have 175 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:13.639 to put furniture down, until suddenly you're like, oh, your star level's 176 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.039 gone up, and now more people will come and visit your town and stuff 177 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.480 like that. So it's like, you know, it's very it's a very 178 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.080 obvious homage, but it kind of like it still kind of blends in with 179 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:28.840 that that kind of goofiness that the side stories have because you're like fighting. 180 00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.919 I see their names, like the Washbucklers, and it's like just pirates, 181 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:41.200 like straight pirate guys. Your main pals are like these two weird mascot costumes 182 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:43.399 and a guy who keeps asking you if you can like build them a girlfriend, 183 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:48.679 so like, and they kind of I didn't see any, but they 184 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.480 kind of showed off like some of these like old characters from the series or 185 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:54.919 you know, will show up on your island and stuff like that. So 186 00:11:54.559 --> 00:12:00.960 but it seems like the The Itchy Band Holdings one and last game where it's 187 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.879 like, you know, that's a full last game in there, you know, 188 00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:07.960 yeah, it seems huge, like it seems I think I barely practices 189 00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.279 of that many game as well, because it's like full of it. And 190 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:15.679 then you've got like the other stuff you can carry Okay, which you know, 191 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:20.519 sure as in every game. It's still good. The English Dubs version 192 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.480 Carryokay is a bit strange this time around because the Ace and some of them, 193 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:28.840 but hey, what can you do. I think a part of people 194 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:33.279 want a lot of the things back from previous games, right, They just 195 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:35.960 like want to do that stuff again and see how they how they spice things 196 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:43.360 up. Again mind what a sick o snap? Oh so that's Pokemon snap 197 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.480 Yeah, okay, yeah, it's like naked guys going like that on the 198 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:52.159 side of the buildings, thrusting and doing weird gyrations. Yeah yeah, so 199 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.559 you know you take pictures of them, add them to your SEQUOEDX. But 200 00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:00.720 then you've also got like Sujimon, which is pokem on. You know, 201 00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:05.519 you capture a group of weirdos and have them with another group of weirdos. 202 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:09.480 So it's just all this stuff is like, yeah, what a video game? 203 00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:13.279 Like what like, what an amazing thing that they've built here. We're 204 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.200 so lucky that, uh you all this talk about, you know, Triple 205 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:20.480 A being unsustainable. It's like, meanwhile, Sega's over here doing their own 206 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:26.559 thing, building an affinity for what they've built. And I think about Yakuza 207 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.519 and I think about like a drag and I smile. I'm like, they 208 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:33.320 they know what they're doing, and I'm so glad that they keep doing it. 209 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:35.559 I just feel like lucky as a gamer that they have figured it out 210 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:41.360 in such a strong way. What's your sort of read on how people are 211 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.559 gonna, like, you know, accept this game or not, Like you 212 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.919 think it's going to keep fans happy and maybe even introduce the new fans to 213 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:54.039 the series. So it's like it's strange because obviously it's like you need the 214 00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.200 They're very they always say, oh, you can start on this one to 215 00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.279 bother, you know, but you know there's always going to be the problem 216 00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:05.320 of there are seven or eight of these you need to get through, and 217 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:11.120 this is like a two character story that like have different origins, and and 218 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.639 then there's a recent game that sort of sets this up, and yeah, 219 00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:18.799 people definitely feel the pressure to like go back and play those games. Yeah. 220 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.320 I mean, like I've only played zero, one, two, three, 221 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.799 and then I went to seven, so it's like even I'm missing some 222 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.000 of that context. And like I mean I think here you goes by Taiji 223 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.759 Suzuki, which is like his name in yak as A five is what I 224 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.720 can gather. So like there is stuff in there for everyone that I feel 225 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.840 like you maybe might mess out on, but I feel like you probably need 226 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:46.879 to play seven at least. I don't know. Again, it's hard to 227 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.519 come to these things, but like it's not going to be like Melgear Solid 228 00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:52.519 two or you start it and the whole game is built upon like knowing what 229 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.240 Melgear Solid one was, Like, right, I think, you know, 230 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.360 it might be hard for new people to jump in, but I think people 231 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:05.519 who are in it are gonna be happy with it. It seems like I'm 232 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.279 happy with it from what I've played, Like I'm that's was this preview is 233 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:11.559 back in October, and it's taken us long to you know, come out, 234 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:15.480 and I've been like dying to play more of it since then. Like 235 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:18.720 it's been it's been three months and I'm getting the the atches. I've been 236 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:24.080 waiting staring at my emails hoping that will come. It can't be much longer 237 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.720 now, right, It feels like any any week now we should be getting 238 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:31.879 that. Uh. I'll say that I think like a dragon is positioned well 239 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:35.360 enough that yeah, the obviously there's a ton of lore and there's a ton 240 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:39.960 of history with these characters. But I think all of these these side activities 241 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:41.840 and the weird stuff you can do on the side and the you know, 242 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:46.360 Siko snap stuff like that. I got stuff that like you get in there 243 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:48.000 and you just like make your own fun with that stuff, and then if 244 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:52.000 you find yourself caring about the characters, you can always go back to those 245 00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:54.519 old games. You always can U there is a way, and then you 246 00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:56.240 know, even if you don't want to go back those old games, maybe 247 00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:00.679 you go back to Yakuza zero and that's it, and and then you read 248 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.720 the Wikipedia and everything else and you'll you'll be good to go. I think, 249 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:07.080 so this is going to be one that I think is gonna actually I 250 00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:08.200 gues it's gonna be the biggest one yet. And I don't think that's too 251 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:11.039 much of But I don't think that's too out there to say that. This 252 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:15.200 feels like it's going to break out in a big way, even even like 253 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.080 marketing wise, it feels like this has been pushed way more than any of 254 00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:22.360 the other ones. I don't know if I'm just imagining that, but game 255 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.200 of the Year stuff for this game, Yeah, saying the cardboard cars were 256 00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:29.879 at the event, Yeah, I like, I showed up. I showed 257 00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:30.559 up and I was like, wait, wait, what's what's going on? 258 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.639 I got to have who's standing behind me? Oh? Okay, cool, 259 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:36.960 I'll pretend to jerk these guys off. Sure, why not? It's giant 260 00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:40.159 Bob. Let's fucking go. You wear the first that you won't be the 261 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:44.559 last I will not be absolutely absolutely and it was I'll say, you know 262 00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.279 again, I am not involved that stuff. I'll just say that I've heard 263 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:49.919 through the great vine. Saga was very pleased with all that stuff. It 264 00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:53.159 was like, oh, really cool. I had no idea fun stuff. 265 00:16:53.159 --> 00:17:02.120 That's a that's what's that LEXI everybody lean like that. Okay, I kid 266 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:03.480 didn't say you could do that. I didn't know what I was doing. 267 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.200 I did not know what I was doing. I just kind of came out 268 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.880 and a happened that way. Last thing before we move on, Mento and 269 00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:18.240 Chat mentioned eachy bonnomble crossing, So each abondabill cross that's h I like it. 270 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:19.960 I think that's pretty good stuff. Maybe it works better in texts, 271 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:26.279 So okay, let's move along. Here in a world's first thirteen year old 272 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:32.400 kid quote beats Tetris. This is from Eddie McCoo at GameSpot. Tetris, 273 00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:34.240 one of the most popular and recognizable games of all time, has finally been 274 00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:37.599 beaten. The person to do it more than thirty years after the game's release, 275 00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:41.759 thirteen year old Willis Gibson from Oklahoma. Gipson uploaded a video of his 276 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:45.960 achievement to YouTube, and it's quite a sight to behold. He is demonstratively 277 00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:49.400 overwhelmed with excitement and astonishment. He claims, oh my god, before saying 278 00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:52.240 I can't feel my fingers. As you could see in the video, Willis 279 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.119 reached level one hundred and fifty seven. The video labels it as level eighteen. 280 00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:59.960 Excuse me as level eighteen, though at this point the game freezes. 281 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.000 Willis reached the kill screen, which is the plane at which Tetris is no 282 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:07.480 longer playable because it was not designed to reach that level technically speaking. So 283 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.640 it's like it's not even really technically a kill screen. Kill screens like when 284 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:17.839 the code starts to like spill into the game in some weird ways and the 285 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:22.759 like the registered data spills out and destroys the screen in a bunch of ways. 286 00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:26.240 Here, just the game just froze. It just freezes, It just 287 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.240 stops. It can no longer give a new piece, and so the game 288 00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:32.759 just doesn't work anymore. This is a game that a couple of years ago, 289 00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:36.160 Scott people are like, you cannot get higher than level twenty nine, 290 00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:40.680 and then this kid gets to a level one hundred and fifty seven, and 291 00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:45.839 all this has happened because of a new technique that I love. You know, 292 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.640 I only glance at this this Tetras scene, and I know that they 293 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:51.960 have the Tetris Championships every year and they played this version, the nes version. 294 00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:55.119 But they basically what they do is they hold the controller in a weird 295 00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:57.680 way so that their fingers are kind of on the buttons here, and they 296 00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:02.240 tap the back of the control like this, they like roll their fingers on. 297 00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:04.759 It's called rolling, and so as each finger of your hand rolls on 298 00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:07.920 the controller, it registers as a button press on the buttons appear as they 299 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:11.359 like hold their fingers against the buttons, and that makes it so that they 300 00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.440 can move the pieces left and right even as they're coming down as fast as 301 00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.480 possible. In the game. Previously, it was very hard to control the 302 00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:22.799 like the highest level of Tetris, and this has made it much more easy 303 00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:26.400 to do that easy. Of course, this is a very difficult technique still, 304 00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:29.640 I don't know. I think this is this is really cool stuff that 305 00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:32.000 you know, all these years later, people are, for one, are 306 00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:36.000 still playing this version of Tetris as like the canonical version of Tetris. And 307 00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:41.000 then too some new kid comes along and shows everyone else that like what can 308 00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:44.559 be done that was never thought possible before. Did you check out this story 309 00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:48.200 at all? I saw the video and the reaction all that. I mean, 310 00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:52.680 first, first off, I could not imagine holding one of those dog 311 00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:56.920 shit any ass controllers for that long. Jesus Christ, my hands would tell 312 00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:00.759 me. But yeah, I mean, you know, good for he's excited, 313 00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.839 he's he's happy. I know. There was something with like a news 314 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:10.680 channel over here being like you should yeah I would. I would tell me, 315 00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:12.440 yeah, it's a Sky News reporter. It was like, did the 316 00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:15.039 story and and it was like if it was my kid, I'd tell him 317 00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.799 to go outside and beating Tetris is not a life goal. It's like, 318 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:22.279 bit she's thirteen that this was not a life goal. It's something to that 319 00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:23.480 he was thirteen. It's whole life's ahead of him. What are you talking 320 00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:29.160 about? West Child is happy? You know, we're receiving I mean, 321 00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:32.200 yeah, that's that's maybe one thing about the British news channels. We don't 322 00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:33.799 like to see happy chow. No, of course not. That's a very 323 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:38.200 deep setting in England. Yes, I can see that, you know, 324 00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:42.240 we're yeah, good for him, you know, like, I'm excited for 325 00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:47.039 him. I hope this doesn't become like a you know, we'll watch this 326 00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:48.880 in ten years it's like the New Belly Metrol saga or something that, you 327 00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:55.119 know, let's hope it's all. You know, there's no tampered West Carts 328 00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:59.640 or whatever else. Yeah. The the thing here is like this this Tetris 329 00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:03.160 community is so robust at this point, it's really grown in the last couple 330 00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:07.559 of years that this game is really well known, and this technique now is 331 00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:11.960 like I think they figured it was probably gonna get to this point once they 332 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:15.519 broke it open. But yeah, I love this stuff. And you know, 333 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:18.759 the Tetris World Championships are probably gonna have more eyes on it now than 334 00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:22.519 ever before because of this, because they'll pably be like, hey, is 335 00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:26.400 someone going to break this game during competition? This kid did this in like 336 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.440 thirty eight minutes or something like that, and that's really wild that It's like, 337 00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:33.759 that's on how long you have to play Tetris to break it on the 338 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.440 nes So yeah, pretty pretty cool stuff. Where do you stand on the 339 00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:42.400 classic Tetris versus Tetris? But you can hold a piece debate, I mean, 340 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:47.680 you know, obviously as a filthy casual. I love being able to 341 00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:51.319 hold the piece, and I like the two different big changes, right holding 342 00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:56.240 a piece and then being able to like rotate to keep the piece on top 343 00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:59.440 of all the other pieces and move it side or left or right, and 344 00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:03.079 eventually like that'll fail if you're not doing it perfectly, but if you like 345 00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:06.319 are rotating really fast, you can move it from here to there and the 346 00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:08.960 game kind of like slides it across the top. And of course I like 347 00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:11.240 that because I'm like, I'm just trying to play a little bit of Tetris 348 00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:15.240 to have fun, or I'm playing Tetris ninety nine and goddamn it, I 349 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:19.440 need this or else I'm just definitely going to lose, and I still lose 350 00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:23.519 every time except for the one time I won. But I like that stuff. 351 00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:29.400 I at the same time really appreciate that there is this purest community out 352 00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:32.559 there that's like, no, this is what Tetras should be. These are 353 00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:33.960 the rules, and we don't want anything else. We want it to look 354 00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:36.960 like the NES, we want it to play like the NS. We want 355 00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:40.599 to use an NES controller. That's it, not even the game Boy version. 356 00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:41.960 Get that shit out here. It's all about the n Ees version. 357 00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:45.440 I'm like, that's kind of wild, but I really like that kind of 358 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:49.000 stuff in gaming. And then you know that Tetris movie came out last year, 359 00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:55.200 and of course it's like hyperbole and hyperbole and it's kind of a wild 360 00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:59.079 take on the story. But for the most part, the broad strokes are 361 00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:03.119 true, and that is about this version of the game, So I think 362 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:07.000 it just kind of adds more up to that story and I like that as 363 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:08.960 well. I don't know, how do you feel about how do you feel 364 00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:14.640 about modern Tetris versus classic Tetris. I'm the same. I'm a modern Tetris 365 00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:18.359 diehard. The version of Tetris I've played the most is EA's version of it 366 00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:22.720 for your phone that came out in like two thousand and eight, and I 367 00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:26.279 had that on my I had that on my phone from like then until they 368 00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:30.319 literally like stopped it from running. It was it was a bad day for 369 00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:33.519 me. But yeah, no, I mean, like Tetris, I don't 370 00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:37.279 know what was the first one to introduce that. Tetris DS was the first 371 00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:40.279 time I remember it, and all my kind of favorite Tetris games have been 372 00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:45.839 in the last twenty years you know Tetris D effects, Yes, Tetris, 373 00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:49.960 but yeah, no, I'm gonna same with you in ninety nine as well. 374 00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:53.079 We're like, I'm good at Tetris, but the anyone who's like actually 375 00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:56.920 good at Tetris like absolutely destroys me. It's it's a hard one. They 376 00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.200 need to make like a that. That's the thing with Tetris, right, 377 00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:03.000 is like the people who are really good at Tetris are the people who have 378 00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:07.559 been playing since basically the game Boy came out, Like they got it with 379 00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:11.279 their game Boy and they played it a ton then and they're like ever since 380 00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:12.680 then, they're like, I just play Tetris. And a lot of people 381 00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:17.960 have moved on from that classic Tetris to the new Tetrises. They like, 382 00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:22.799 there's still like even among those these people that like have played thousands and thousands 383 00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:25.960 and thousands of hours of Tetris, there's still like this level between like people 384 00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:27.519 who are the purest and then people are like, well, I don't care, 385 00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:30.240 it's just it's Tetris. But I just want to play it, and 386 00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:33.359 I want to play it online. Maybe so I'll play Tetris DS and then 387 00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:36.680 later I'll play Tetris ninety nine. But a lot of the people playing Tetris 388 00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:40.720 ninety nine are going to be old ladies who got a game Boy thirty years 389 00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:44.079 ago and have been playing that game forever and they found out about that and 390 00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:45.240 they're like this, this is all I'm going to do in video games. 391 00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:48.000 And I love that too, Like that's what It's what. It's such a 392 00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:53.319 pure thing about Tetris. It's weird. But my mom or she never had 393 00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:59.000 the Tetris phase, but she loved warri Weir touch. Oh really, that's 394 00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:03.359 great. Could put I like stole mights to play Warrior where it touchs, 395 00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:07.160 so you know, that's it's a strange one there. But yeah, no, 396 00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:12.680 I know many people who have only played Tetris and probably I mean it's 397 00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:17.559 if you had to play one game, I guess. Yeah. This just 398 00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:21.640 got me a thinking. Sean, if you're listening, I don't know, 399 00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:23.200 he could again, he could be busy. Is it too late to switch 400 00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:27.400 today's TNT from Titan Fall two to Tetris ninety nine, because I think we 401 00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:30.799 get set up rooms in Tetris ninety nine and that could be really fun. 402 00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:36.039 I don't know, we'll see. Maybe it might be too late to do 403 00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:38.559 that maybe we could do that for the next TNT. God, I I 404 00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:41.759 have one more thought about Tetris, but now I'm not sure I'm gonna be 405 00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:44.000 able to be able to go. Oh, yes, the movie. Going 406 00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:48.799 back to the movie real quick. I love that movie just because they have 407 00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:53.319 that KGB chase where it's like her in Russia and fucking Howard Lincoln, this 408 00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:59.200 Nintendo of America president is in a goddamn car chase, like almost getting shot 409 00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:02.920 at by the Rush Instead. I'm like, this is so absurd, just 410 00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:07.640 knowing who Howard Lincoln was, this kind of really buttoned up corporate lawyer that 411 00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:11.319 got put in charge of it into No America because he was so good at 412 00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:14.559 suing people for Nintendo. They're like, yeah, you're in charge now. 413 00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:18.319 The idea of him being like involved with the KGB in any way is so 414 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.240 good to me. I love that stuff. I think I think I'll need 415 00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:25.000 to watch it. I'm not seeing it. It's you got you kind of 416 00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:26.880 have to go in with being like, Okay, I know that most of 417 00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:30.519 this is absurd, but just kind of have a good time with it, 418 00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:34.000 all right, Yeah, what's the one question before we go? When? 419 00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:37.440 When is hot? Trust too? Coming out. Oh any minute now, 420 00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:41.240 I'm more. I'm a wet tricks guy. Give me, give me wet 421 00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:45.519 tricks. I'm gonna make little puddles on the N sixty four. Let's go. 422 00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:47.759 All right, we're gonna take a quick break. We've got a lot 423 00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:57.240 more news after this that so stick with us, and we're back. And 424 00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:00.480 we're back. We're talking about video games, not just any video game. 425 00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:06.319 Fourteen thousand video games, more than fourteen thousand actually, which came out on 426 00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:11.079 Steam last year. This is from Jordan Miller at VGC. A record fourteen 427 00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:15.000 thousand games were released on Steam in twenty twenty three, as charted by independent 428 00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:19.240 steam analytics site steam dB, fourteen thousand, five hundred and thirty five games 429 00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:23.240 were released on the platform last year, up roughly two thousand from twenty twenty 430 00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:27.799 two's count. According to market insights from Sircana, the closest any other platform 431 00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:30.759 has come in the US is to the two thousand, three hundred and sixty 432 00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:34.640 games released on the Switch, which was also in twenty twenty three. The 433 00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:37.839 number of games being released on Steam has exploded in the past few years, 434 00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:41.400 and just five years Steam has gone from releasing eighty one hundred and thirty four 435 00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:48.079 games in twenty nineteen to over six thousand more in the last year. I 436 00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:51.599 think there's definitely a little bit of panic about this where people see that number, 437 00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:53.920 Scott, and obviously people feel like that is too many games, because 438 00:27:55.799 --> 00:28:00.839 I so many people grew up in a world where it felt reasonable to play 439 00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:03.519 every big game, and even like most games that would come out on a 440 00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:07.720 system in a year like in sixty four had like two hundred three hundred some 441 00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:14.640 games released in any particular country, and so we are a long, long 442 00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:18.279 long way from that. But I continue to be of the opinion that this 443 00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:22.279 is mostly fine. This is mostly yeah. Obviously, if you're trying to 444 00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:26.440 make a game as your as your means of making a living, seeing that 445 00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:29.960 you have to compete with all these other things is going to be a challenge. 446 00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:33.480 But I don't think the answer to that in any way is we should 447 00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:36.759 do something and stop people from making so many video games. Right, There's 448 00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:38.279 gotta be some other answer. I don't know if you agree with that, 449 00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:44.400 Scott, What do you think? I mean? I think about Edmund McMillan 450 00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:48.079 that clip of Indie Game in the movie where he's like panicking that like Super 451 00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:51.720 Meat Boy isn't on the front page of Xbox. Yeah. Like, but 452 00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:55.160 at the same time, we are like a different you know, we're in 453 00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:57.000 a different world now, you know, like so many games pop off because 454 00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:02.400 that's why or whatever, or you know, YouTube video was rather than being 455 00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:07.640 on the front page of Steam. But on the other hand, you know, 456 00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:15.279 how many of those fourteen hundred or whatever games fourteen where you know, 457 00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:19.559 porn games where you you know, do stuff with famous world leaders from the 458 00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:25.240 nineteen forties. Yes, you know, like I think I bet my library 459 00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:30.759 right now there's an entire series in including the BDSM Bunker Who spin off series, 460 00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:37.079 So you know there's something there maybe should be some semblance of quality control, 461 00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:44.119 you know, like I think a bad game being on Steam before was 462 00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:48.000 like a thing, you know, like, yeah, how many people have 463 00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:52.680 bad Rats Rats Revenge because someone gifted it to them on Steam the open right, 464 00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:56.880 or like like there was definitely a time there where like a really bad 465 00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:00.599 game on Steam was like this is a scam. They are I mean, 466 00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:03.079 we still get that we got that with the Day Before a little bit but 467 00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:07.079 ago, but that but because that was just such an obvious like this is 468 00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:10.160 not there's nothing real there. But before that it was like, no, 469 00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:11.559 it's just a really bad game and they're trying to scam me out of your 470 00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:14.519 money, and we're gonna make YouTube videos about it, and there's gonna be 471 00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:18.519 a whole cottage industry about exposing these games. And now that feels kind of 472 00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:19.480 quaint to me. It's like, yeah, yeah, there's a lot of 473 00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:22.759 bad games, but like one out of one hundred is probably got a cool 474 00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.039 idea in it, and then one out of one hundred of those is actually 475 00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:30.680 probably really good, and then like one ou out of one hundred of those 476 00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:33.839 it's probably a game of the Year contender. And I mean, okay, 477 00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:37.920 yeah, that's a couple of year but so like so what like I think 478 00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:41.319 that is. That's the way it kind of should work to a certain extent, 479 00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:45.920 there needs. I mean, I think Steam is a pretty good platform 480 00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:48.759 overall because I think they have thought about this problem and they have put in 481 00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:55.839 means of discoverability that has not definitely not solved it because there's there's just no 482 00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:59.240 solving that. It's too many games to be But I'll be like, make 483 00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:02.880 sure that every game deserves eyeballs gets eyeballs, But I think it does a 484 00:31:02.920 --> 00:31:06.119 pretty good job of putting a lot of different games in front of people at 485 00:31:06.119 --> 00:31:11.599 any one time and making it feel like you have a chance. And I 486 00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:15.359 don't know what the answer is beyond that, I will say I have less 487 00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:18.839 trouble with Steam than I do with the Nintendo Switch. Switch. The switch 488 00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:22.200 door has no semblance of that sort of thing, Right, if you are 489 00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:26.759 not on the featured page, if you're not on sale, and if you 490 00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:30.000 are not, there's like five categories, right, and if you're not one 491 00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:33.440 of those, you're fucking dead. You also look at your game specifically, 492 00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:37.519 right, even if you're on sale, there's like ten shovel weird games are 493 00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:41.599 like, I mean, there's like fourteen hundred games on sale at any one 494 00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:45.440 time on the Switch, yes, And it's like here's a Jugsaw puzzle of 495 00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:51.079 a gpeg of a woman and it's like twenty twenty pence. And that's why 496 00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:53.880 it's like, you know right up there, so you know, I'll go 497 00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:56.880 to Steam that they have a bit of curation. Like even looking at the 498 00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:02.200 front page, it's like, oh, you like bad games, here's uh 499 00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:06.920 I do. I was gonna say something, but I don't want to say 500 00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:09.240 it in way that these are bad. My joke don land at all, 501 00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:14.000 but oh well that hey, that's the story of this show. Don't worry 502 00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:19.359 about that. But I think even on Switch, the answer to me still 503 00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:22.240 is not let's let Nintendo decide what's good and bad, because I think in 504 00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:25.359 that case it does prevent something like maybe like a sweak of game, because 505 00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:28.480 they like, it's so easy to look at sweak a game and be like, 506 00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:31.799 oh, that is just like any other mobile shovel where and no one's 507 00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:35.079 gonna care about that. And I play it, I'm like, no, 508 00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:38.079 there's something special about it, and uh, I am glad that And it 509 00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:43.519 was made by people who like apparently barely even consider themselves game developers. They're 510 00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:45.240 like, we're just gonna try something, and they just have a certain touch 511 00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:50.440 that made that game feel really great to play. And so the answer, 512 00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:53.039 I think all the ball is in Nintendo's court. The ball was in Valves 513 00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:57.279 court. They kind of mostly figured it out with Steam still has its problems, 514 00:32:57.319 --> 00:33:00.559 obviously, but when Nintendo, it was like, I don't think the 515 00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:02.839 answer is Nintendo decides what's good and bad. I think the answer is Nintendo 516 00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:07.839 decides to a way to make the its goddamn store better and more equitable, 517 00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:12.960 and finding ways to promote these games in different ways instead of just the five 518 00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:16.319 categories that are pretty bad. I think, you know, like Steam green 519 00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:22.039 Light was also having lots of flaws. So yeah, I do even have 520 00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:28.400 the answer either, you know, but I feel like it's weird. I 521 00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:32.319 don't want to discount because I imagine someone out there has probably found one of 522 00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:37.160 these good anime games. But the like en flux of like portn games or 523 00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:42.799 the Steam and stuff like that, maybe maybe was the step where it went 524 00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:49.920 a bit far. I don't know, but you know, yeah, a 525 00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:52.559 Nintendo. It can't be a case of Nintendo decides. But like even the 526 00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:55.440 Microsoft what was it called in the pre sects they where you could upload your 527 00:33:55.519 --> 00:34:01.480 games, the nine, Xbox Slave, Arcade, Xbox Indie something I can't 528 00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:09.079 remember. It's Scott them forever ago, you know, even like uh section 529 00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:13.119 like that or something, you know, but sure, I mean I can't 530 00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:15.960 I can't talk my like Gelly Pleasures was like really bad by all games she 531 00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:22.039 got. It was like people running all like yeah, right portals exactly. 532 00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:27.039 Sometimes that like the one where the ladies butt gets really big my IoT like 533 00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:30.440 that one. Listen, Hey, we all have our own desires, all 534 00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:35.400 right, Scott Uh, I don't know for real doubt. I like found 535 00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:39.119 my kid playing once. She was She's like, yeah, this is funny, 536 00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:42.719 like a butt gap big this rules, and I'm like, well, 537 00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:46.079 say it does make me laugh too. My nephew's discovered among us, so 538 00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:51.960 that's opened a whole, a whole. It's inevitable kind of worms, you 539 00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:55.960 know, walk then watching he's watching his YouTube videos, his YouTube kids randomly 540 00:34:57.320 --> 00:35:00.920 I generated videos, and it's like among us twere king hanging like Spider Man 541 00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:04.840 some of that. That's that is where this is what we should have had 542 00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:09.920 as kids. This is honestly Yeah, like the part of YouTube where it's 543 00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:15.079 just all of the random IP characters doing crazy stuff and it feels like a 544 00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:22.280 stream of consciousness, just random comedy animation thing. It's like, yeah that 545 00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:27.760 this is basically adult swim for kids. Like this is experimental stuff and most 546 00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:31.920 of it's utter shit, but kids love shit. That's kids love trash. 547 00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:35.519 I say it every time on the show. Kids love trash. And at 548 00:35:35.519 --> 00:35:38.039 a certain point it's like it's fun to play around in that trash because I 549 00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:42.360 think kids will then be like, Okay, I reject this at a certain 550 00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:45.360 point. Now I have taste, and I think what happens is you always 551 00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:46.519 kind of arc back and be like, now the trash was fun. This 552 00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:52.079 like the randomness of this, like not even like stuff being made by people 553 00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:54.840 that have no idea what what good taste looks like. There's something playful about 554 00:35:54.880 --> 00:36:00.079 that, and I appreciate it. So that's and that's kind of my feeling 555 00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:05.159 about these games is let the trash on there and let me decide whether or 556 00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:07.880 not I care about trash or not. I am forty years old. I 557 00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:13.039 can do this myself. The unregulated IP usage, that's that's how we fix 558 00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:17.320 this. Yeah, where's the ten little shreks jumping on the bed? You 559 00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:23.599 know's where's my game of that? Let's go, I'd play that all right. 560 00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:28.639 Nintendo hacker Gary Bowser says he's not involved with the new flash cart. 561 00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:31.320 This is from Liam Dulan at Nintendo Life. A new flash cart, marketed 562 00:36:31.360 --> 00:36:36.679 as the only backup and development device for all Switch consoles, was recently teased 563 00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:39.239 in a surprise plot twist. It's now led to infamous. Excuse me, 564 00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:43.719 it's not led to infamous Nintendo hacker Gary Bowser, denying his involvement with the 565 00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:49.119 project. The former Team Executor member, who was previously jailed and find ten 566 00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:54.119 million dollars in damages, rejected these latest allegations doing the rounds online, claiming 567 00:36:54.199 --> 00:36:59.239 he's not involved with this new device known as the Meg Switch. References to 568 00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:04.199 Bowser have supposedly been discovered in the DNS records of aftertime x dot com, 569 00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:07.800 the same outlet that originally broke the news about the flashcart for the switch. 570 00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:10.920 Comparisons have also been made to Team to how Team Executor products used to be 571 00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:15.960 promoted on websites like mac Max consoles. In a separate discord post, Bowser 572 00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:21.079 further claims he's been a victim of DNS poisoning attack and was being threatened by 573 00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:24.480 a bad actor demanding ransom money. He basically says, I was the subject 574 00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:29.480 of a DNS poisoning attack on my name servers. I repaired the damage and 575 00:37:29.559 --> 00:37:32.519 changed all my passwords, but sadly people will talk not what I needed just 576 00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:37.559 before Christmas. I am not going to engage the trolls. Bowser got released 577 00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:39.360 from prison, but basically he's gonna own you know, his name is Bowser. 578 00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:45.480 By the way, Gary Bowser is gonna own own Nintendo millions of dollars 579 00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:49.280 basically for his whole life. He's got to pay Nintendo for forever unless somehow 580 00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:53.119 he comes across ten million dollars somewhere. But it was weird how this like 581 00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:57.360 this device got it came out and then people were like looking into it, 582 00:37:57.599 --> 00:38:01.119 like we think Gary Bowser's behind this, the that previously was responsible for a 583 00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:07.880 lot of hacks on other consoles. So yeah, but denying that it's weird 584 00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:10.920 because it's like, oh, is someone trying to frame Gary Bowser. I 585 00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:15.280 suppose in that scene. I wouldn't put anything past anyone, but that seems 586 00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:17.280 pretty weird. I don't know. Do you have any thoughts on this? 587 00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:22.559 Do you think Nintendo just like, out of all the people who were like 588 00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:28.000 hacking consoles, they chose the guy who would have the funniest name, you 589 00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:30.280 know, when these stories are getting reports, because like who Nintendo's too his 590 00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:37.679 bozer? You know, I mean, I could only I could only hope 591 00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:42.960 he wouldn't be like pillowing stuff like this at a world where he's getting you 592 00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:45.280 know, he's having to pay money for the rest of his life. You 593 00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:52.920 know, you would think he hasn't involved in this, But I mean, 594 00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:57.440 I don't know. I'm not in these communities. But like, who would 595 00:38:57.480 --> 00:39:00.119 someone try and frame someone for this type of thing? I have no idea, 596 00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:04.360 right, that's that, Like I suppose it's not out of the realm 597 00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:07.360 of possibility, right, because I think that there's always whenever there's a scene, 598 00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:12.679 there's always seen drama, right, That's it. One always follows the 599 00:39:12.679 --> 00:39:16.360 other. If there's a scene, there's scene drama. And certainly the console 600 00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:21.119 hacking and moding scene is a scene and has had a lot of drama. 601 00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:25.199 I suppose this would qualify to some as like an end joke. Oh, 602 00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:29.559 we're gonna say Gary Bowser is responsible for it. I think someone was like 603 00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:34.639 looking at the the DNS records for aftertime x dot com and being like, 604 00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:38.559 the people who registered these websites always use pseudonyms, and a lot of times 605 00:39:38.599 --> 00:39:43.440 they use famous dead celebrities from like the nineteen fifties or something like that, 606 00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:49.280 So they're already using pseudonyms. Maybe they threw Gary Bowser in there somewhere. 607 00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:52.920 I don't I don't fully understand what, like, like where all this stuff 608 00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:54.800 came from. So I don't have a good grasp on it, but I 609 00:39:54.800 --> 00:40:00.480 think it's possibly could be like put it being his name could be put put 610 00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:05.679 in there without him his involvement, but he could also be involved because one 611 00:40:05.679 --> 00:40:09.480 thing we also see is people who have committed these kinds of attacks before, 612 00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:15.079 or have done these kinds of crimes before, they often keep doing them even 613 00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:17.719 once they get in trouble. They're just like, this is what they know. 614 00:40:17.880 --> 00:40:22.599 They kind of can't help themselves at a certain point. So I don't 615 00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:28.119 know everything's alleged here. I have no insight into it, but I'm I'm 616 00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:31.039 fascinated by the MiG switch and I'm kind of waiting to see, like when 617 00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:35.639 the other shoe's gonna drop, when Nintendo like does something about it, because 618 00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:37.920 so far they've just stood back, and I'm sure they're looking into it, 619 00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:40.840 and I bet they will have something to say about all this. And if 620 00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:45.480 Gary Bouser's involved, not going to be very good for him. Nintendo will 621 00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:46.880 throw the book at him. They will throw the book at anybody, So 622 00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:52.119 we'll see what happens. The I mean, I know you were saying on 623 00:40:52.159 --> 00:40:55.280 Twitter, but well, you know what, do you hank the best course 624 00:40:55.280 --> 00:40:59.519 of actions here? Should you just should you not acknowledge it? Does that 625 00:40:59.559 --> 00:41:01.280 bring more attention to it? Do you just wait because the sweat stood is 626 00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:07.280 coming in like, oh yeah, eight months or something. I think probably 627 00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:12.960 the way Nintendo handles it is mostly ignores it in the public space. They 628 00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:17.199 might might talk about it here or there, like I'm sure they might get 629 00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:22.519 questions about like piracy from investors. They even then they will probably be pretty 630 00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:25.639 quiet about it, but they probably will use their their team of lawyers. 631 00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:29.920 Again, Nintendo of America is it's a law firm more than anything else. 632 00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:32.960 Yeah, it does marketing, it does some other stuff, does translation, 633 00:41:34.480 --> 00:41:37.639 localization, but really it's a law firm. They sue people on behalf of 634 00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:40.480 the Nintendo in the America's and they've been very good at it for forty years, 635 00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:46.480 kind of like massively successful in terms of enact enforcing the laws that Nintendo 636 00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:51.000 thinks need to be enforced. So that team is kind of gonna like it's 637 00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:53.679 season nail, it's a hammer, It's gonna hammer the nail. So they're 638 00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:57.960 gonna they will do something about this legally, I'm sure if they have any 639 00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:04.559 ground to stand on the trub like these flash cards are they exist in a 640 00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:09.039 gray area where I don't think Nintendo's confident that they would be able to stop 641 00:42:09.079 --> 00:42:13.679 them uh necessarily, and even if they did, it might not be worth 642 00:42:13.719 --> 00:42:15.719 going after them because, like you mentioned, they're looking ahead to switch to 643 00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:20.079 and that solves a lot of the problems right there. I think Nintendo is 644 00:42:20.079 --> 00:42:23.760 pretty confident that the market will move on very very quickly to the switch to 645 00:42:24.440 --> 00:42:28.880 UH, and they will. And I think it's been Nintendo's plan not to 646 00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:31.760 have like the traditional old style of we're gonna have a couple systems kind of 647 00:42:31.800 --> 00:42:35.880 overlapping. I think they saw with the switch to from you know, three 648 00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:38.920 DS and WEU to the switch, people will like drop those old systems like 649 00:42:38.920 --> 00:42:42.400 like you know, like on a dime right there, they dropped them, 650 00:42:42.559 --> 00:42:45.360 moved onto the switch and they expect the same thing that happened with the switch 651 00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:46.960 to say. They're like, you know what, let's just launch the switch 652 00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:52.239 to and and ignore this. Mostly when it comes to our our consumer facing 653 00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:57.800 position on this, I almost wonder obviously there was the report that maybe atritive 654 00:42:58.199 --> 00:43:01.800 from the first switch, how is this factor in, you know, like 655 00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:05.239 yeah, well, I mean, if they have if they have like switch 656 00:43:05.239 --> 00:43:07.400 hardware inside the thing for their backward compatibility, which is possible, but I 657 00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:10.800 think probably not how they're going to do it, but it's possible. They 658 00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:14.119 will have to come up with some solution, but they will be able to 659 00:43:14.159 --> 00:43:17.280 build some new hardware solution into that that would probably prevent this from working on 660 00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:22.480 that device because they will have the foresight of being able to look at this 661 00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:24.920 thing and to deal with it. And you know, the good news for 662 00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:29.840 Nintendo is this is the first time that they've had a handheld device or device 663 00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:32.840 that can work as a handheld in many generations where they have been able to 664 00:43:32.960 --> 00:43:37.840 stemy the development of a flash cart for years. The DS, the three 665 00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:43.000 DS, those had flash I mean the DS had one like almost right away. 666 00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:45.639 I think the three DS took a little bit longer, took a few 667 00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:47.360 years, but it was just a couple, like a few years. Here 668 00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:51.199 it's like we're at the end of the generation, finally getting the first gen 669 00:43:51.239 --> 00:43:53.079 device one of these things, and it kind of doesn't even have that great 670 00:43:53.079 --> 00:43:55.800 a functionality. Functionality like it's going to be a pain in the ass to 671 00:43:55.920 --> 00:44:00.199 use. It'll improve over time, but by the we will have moved so 672 00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:05.039 far away from the switch that sales of that device will probably have already created, 673 00:44:05.320 --> 00:44:07.800 and not because of piracy. Although piracy will have an effect, it'll 674 00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:13.599 be because we've moved on to the switch too. We need the the resurgence 675 00:44:13.679 --> 00:44:17.079 of going to a market well on holiday and finding the seven DS games and 676 00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:24.440 one five of them are games yep, rom hacks from China, which are 677 00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:30.199 always the fun ones to find. So Mario, yes, exactly, super 678 00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:36.199 Mario six just has Sonic in it for some reason. All right, last 679 00:44:36.280 --> 00:44:39.000 couple of stories here, Prince of Persia lost the Lost crowns. PC specs 680 00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:43.800 and console performance revealed. As far as PC specs go, I didn't even 681 00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:46.559 include those because it's gonna run on everything. You're gonna be fine. But 682 00:44:46.599 --> 00:44:51.159 they included like how it's going to run on consoles. PS five and Xbox 683 00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:53.280 Series X will run at four K and one hundred and twenty frames per second, 684 00:44:53.760 --> 00:44:58.639 Xbox Series S will be sixty frames and fourteen forty p. PS four 685 00:44:58.639 --> 00:45:00.760 Pro and Xbox one X will be sixty frames per second at four K, 686 00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:05.920 and then PS four, Xbox one and Amazon Luna will be sixty frames per 687 00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:09.039 second at ten ADP. And then the switch is gonna be sixty frames per 688 00:45:09.079 --> 00:45:13.280 second and ten ADP docked, and then sixty frames per second and seven to 689 00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:17.239 twenty p handheld. Basically, it's max you know everywhere where it's available. 690 00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:21.920 And let's just say you had it like you could get it and you were 691 00:45:21.920 --> 00:45:24.880 playing it on like a handheld computer like one of those asis of ra Galley. 692 00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:28.760 Let's just say, I bet it runs really going on there like baby 693 00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:30.760 one hundred and twenty frames per second at seven to twenty p because why would 694 00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:34.880 you run your games at ten ADP on a handheld? But let's just say 695 00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:39.400 that, no way to know, all right. Kim Kardashian's once massive mobile 696 00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:44.920 game is no more. This is from Melissa Mercante at Kotaku. I wasn't 697 00:45:44.920 --> 00:45:47.679 sure this day would ever come. Kim Kardashian The Hollywood, the once wildly 698 00:45:47.719 --> 00:45:52.599 popular mobile RPG in which players had to climb the Tenseltown ranks from the E 699 00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:57.079 list to the A list, is shutting down. Ten years ago this Android 700 00:45:57.280 --> 00:46:00.639 iOS title dominated each store's download charts, made gamers out of regular people, 701 00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:07.199 and fascinated then Kotaku at staffer Patricia Hernandez. But today Kim kardashian released this 702 00:46:07.239 --> 00:46:12.800 statement to TMC reporting its imminent doom. Basically, she just says it's done. 703 00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:15.280 I included this story mostly because I wanted to fig, like, just 704 00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:19.639 have a little quick conversation about how you're feeling about mobile gaming these days. 705 00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:23.239 There was a time where we would get like new games from celebrities and they 706 00:46:23.239 --> 00:46:27.000 would pop off and they would have some success. This was maybe one of 707 00:46:27.039 --> 00:46:32.400 the most popular ones somehow. But the mobile gaming has been stagnant in my 708 00:46:32.440 --> 00:46:37.559 opinion for years and years and years. I mean, maybe I'm I'd probably 709 00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:42.280 miss something, but the last big like iteration or disruption in my opinion was 710 00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:46.320 Pokemon Go. Maybe stuff like Roadblocks coming to mobile was disruptive as well. 711 00:46:46.360 --> 00:46:50.360 I don't really know, but it's been other than that, it's been Candy 712 00:46:50.360 --> 00:46:54.960 Class, Yeah, Candy Crash, Candy Clash Saga for like since like twenty 713 00:46:55.000 --> 00:46:58.840 twelve. I think I'm complating two games there, but it's like, yes, 714 00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:00.960 a Clash of Clans and Candy Crush Naga. There we go. Those 715 00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:04.559 two games have been at the top since twenty twelve, so more than a 716 00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:07.280 decade and they're still at the top. Now. I don't know, mobile 717 00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:10.000 gaming, it feels very stagnand to me, still, how are you feeling 718 00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:14.760 about it? This is uh, we didn't plan this, this is very 719 00:47:14.760 --> 00:47:16.320 good. So I was just thinking about this last night. Oh well, 720 00:47:16.360 --> 00:47:20.639 I was downloading my like shatty games that I got from ads and other shit. 721 00:47:20.760 --> 00:47:23.559 Yeah, of course of my base. I yeah, I think it's 722 00:47:23.800 --> 00:47:30.239 it's a really hard place to get a breakthrough because there are very good mobile 723 00:47:30.320 --> 00:47:32.960 games. But see, because in my head, I just think of like, 724 00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:37.519 do I want to play this thing that's going to have an AD pop 725 00:47:37.639 --> 00:47:42.960 up every two minutes and like and I get my down and there are good 726 00:47:43.039 --> 00:47:49.320 games that are like in this kind of like Pantheon, I guess like the 727 00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:53.039 you know, probably that same company takes all your day. It gives you 728 00:47:53.079 --> 00:48:00.199 an AD every two minutes. But so in my head I just think of 729 00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:05.480 that, and it's so hard because no one because of these types of things, 730 00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:09.679 no one's wanting to pay like ten quent from well game, you know, 731 00:48:09.840 --> 00:48:15.440 no one want to pay whatever subscription. You know. I I tried 732 00:48:15.519 --> 00:48:20.639 Apple Arcade a while ago to try out the Platinum game on there. I 733 00:48:20.639 --> 00:48:22.559 forget the name all that, but I mean one, I've not got an 734 00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:30.159 Apple phone because you know I'm an adult too, but like even Netflix, 735 00:48:30.199 --> 00:48:32.679 it's like, okay, cool, I'm going to go on my Netflix app. 736 00:48:34.239 --> 00:48:36.800 I don't want with the Samurai Showdown, and I was like, cool, 737 00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:39.800 have one of these, can't use it on there. So it's the 738 00:48:40.119 --> 00:48:43.599 Hey, that's the most frustrating thing. When you go onto those mobile games. 739 00:48:43.639 --> 00:48:45.440 You're like, oh, this would be perfect for one of these little 740 00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:49.239 handheld controllers the backbone or what what have you, and it's like, no, 741 00:48:49.400 --> 00:48:51.440 they we're just not going to work with any controllers. No controller and 742 00:48:51.480 --> 00:48:54.360 put what is that? Like? What the come on man? Samurai Showdown? 743 00:48:54.519 --> 00:49:00.159 Samurai? Yeah, man, what I bummer in that game? You 744 00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:02.719 thought right when we roll back at first, that'd be an old timer, 745 00:49:02.800 --> 00:49:06.400 but that's not that. Yeah, No, that's that's what I mean. 746 00:49:06.480 --> 00:49:09.599 Like I'm like, I know there's good out there, you know, stuff 747 00:49:09.639 --> 00:49:14.519 like ridiculous freshing and all that where it's like these are really good mobile games, 748 00:49:15.079 --> 00:49:19.639 but because of my head, it's just like either gotcha shit, but 749 00:49:19.840 --> 00:49:22.679 like you know, okay, sure you'll like bench them, but you know, 750 00:49:23.360 --> 00:49:28.519 I don't see the point or it's like, you know, like I 751 00:49:28.559 --> 00:49:30.760 said, the ship you get adds for where it's like the person pulling the 752 00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:36.280 pens out of yeah thing. I mean honestly, and ninety percent of the 753 00:49:36.320 --> 00:49:37.960 time you play those games, they are not that game. That's all those 754 00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:42.280 fake ads and it's it's you're going back to Ebony. It's like, man, 755 00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:45.719 Ebony is like should be studied. It's marketing should be studied by by 756 00:49:45.800 --> 00:49:51.679 researchers about how they've been able to adapt their marketing from uh, hey, 757 00:49:52.039 --> 00:49:53.599 king, why you come have sex with me? On those ads on the 758 00:49:53.639 --> 00:49:58.519 side of the websites, from you know, fifteen years ago to now the 759 00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:00.880 new ad meta of here's a fake game, come play a fake game. 760 00:50:01.039 --> 00:50:04.360 Nope, the surprise, bitch, you're playing Ebony again. It's like, 761 00:50:04.360 --> 00:50:07.880 oh damn, okay, man, you guys figure this out. My latest 762 00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:09.320 one is the you know the game where you have like a bunch of different 763 00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:13.159 vials and you have to get the colors to meet you. Hum like this 764 00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:15.719 is this is the shot you get toddlers like the you know the shape and 765 00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:20.440 the right hole stuff that I tell you what, it's my vice that and 766 00:50:20.599 --> 00:50:24.280 like the one the one mobile game that sustained me for all this time is 767 00:50:24.400 --> 00:50:28.840 Konami's Pexel puzzle colle. Oh, yeah, this game. But my problem 768 00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:30.679 with that is every time I opened up that game, I opened it every 769 00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:34.679 couple of months. Somehow my my Maybe it's because I got a new phone 770 00:50:34.679 --> 00:50:37.360 and I just forgot about it, but my progress is always reset. I'm 771 00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:38.880 like, damn, I gotta start over. But whatever that's to me. 772 00:50:38.920 --> 00:50:46.000 I like that game a ton, but it's like there's no ads in it. 773 00:50:46.119 --> 00:50:49.480 You know, you get a pop up ad, but it's not like, 774 00:50:49.519 --> 00:50:53.199 oh, you've done one puzzle, here's a fairy second ad. I 775 00:50:53.199 --> 00:50:58.960 I would love to play more mobile games. But when you know there's a 776 00:50:59.039 --> 00:51:02.360 stegment there now, because that's what that says, it's you know, Mario 777 00:51:02.440 --> 00:51:07.920 kartter level, gotcha set. Yeah. The manipulation is so bare and so 778 00:51:07.119 --> 00:51:12.840 obvious, so naked about what they're trying to do. Like everything in capitalism 779 00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:15.480 is trying to manipulate, manipulate us. Like we all know that, we 780 00:51:15.519 --> 00:51:20.440 all understand that the you know, they put extra salt and food because it 781 00:51:20.480 --> 00:51:22.199 makes you want it makes you create even more of it, and you come 782 00:51:22.239 --> 00:51:25.440 back and you get a dictated We're being manipulated one hundred percent of the time. 783 00:51:25.719 --> 00:51:30.000 I think what we ask is give us some eye candy, give us 784 00:51:30.239 --> 00:51:32.960 some you do a little dance for us to make it feel like we are 785 00:51:34.320 --> 00:51:37.880 in agreement about this transaction that's happening, and mobile gaming is like, no, 786 00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:39.760 fucking fuck you. We're we're going to one hundred percent manipulate you. 787 00:51:39.960 --> 00:51:44.679 We're taking your data, we're targeting you with ads. We are going to 788 00:51:44.719 --> 00:51:47.480 put the button to try to get rid of the AD right next to the 789 00:51:47.480 --> 00:51:52.559 button to download the game. Because we're doing these dark patterns. We don't 790 00:51:52.760 --> 00:51:55.239 give a fuck. It is completely shady. And so it's, uh, 791 00:51:55.760 --> 00:51:59.920 that is that's the stigma, right, That's what I associate with mobile gaming. 792 00:52:00.280 --> 00:52:02.920 And so even when even when I see like, okay, that that 793 00:52:02.960 --> 00:52:07.400 teenage mutant Ninja Turtles game on Apple Arcade that looks like haitis, well that 794 00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:09.280 seems pretty cool man, Okay, Yeah, I mean there's there's one cool 795 00:52:09.280 --> 00:52:12.199 thing. I'll try to track it down, but I know I'm back in 796 00:52:12.239 --> 00:52:15.159 my head that's gonna be on switching six months to a year, and I 797 00:52:15.159 --> 00:52:16.280 got plenty of other things to play. I don't know if I'm going to 798 00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:20.159 track down an Apple device for real to actually play that I want to, 799 00:52:20.760 --> 00:52:22.199 but I'm not I'm not gonna make the effort because it's like, eh, 800 00:52:22.360 --> 00:52:25.239 it's mobile gaming at the end of the day. So yeah, it's tough 801 00:52:25.280 --> 00:52:30.199 for them to overcome that. Nintendo is probably the best thing to ever look 802 00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:34.800 at for what the kind of issue us because like, okay, what was 803 00:52:34.840 --> 00:52:38.920 the first one Meetomo whatever? Who cares? Yeah, like the most successful 804 00:52:38.960 --> 00:52:44.800 one is fire emblem is like up here, I don't know if I'm on 805 00:52:44.960 --> 00:52:46.880 camera. I'm on camera in the descard, you know, fire moms up 806 00:52:46.880 --> 00:52:52.559 here. Mario Run is like down here, and that makes no sense. 807 00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:55.480 But it's because, oh, you have to pay for Mario Run, Like 808 00:52:55.519 --> 00:53:00.760 you have to pay here's ten pay ten pounds to play Mario Run. Because 809 00:53:01.239 --> 00:53:07.119 because there's such a market for like free to play chat. Right, that's 810 00:53:07.119 --> 00:53:08.360 the other thing I should be like looked into, right, because like you 811 00:53:08.400 --> 00:53:12.559 think of Mario, the brand of Mario, like one of the most powerful 812 00:53:12.599 --> 00:53:15.360 brands in the history of the world, one of the most popular characters in 813 00:53:15.400 --> 00:53:21.079 the history of the world. Even Mario cannot fight free the race to the 814 00:53:21.079 --> 00:53:23.360 bottom. For like, as much as we care about these characters, as 815 00:53:23.400 --> 00:53:27.320 much as we care about things that we recognize and have familiarity with and like 816 00:53:27.719 --> 00:53:30.559 that stuff goes out the window when you tell me I can get something for 817 00:53:30.639 --> 00:53:34.519 free instead, there's just no fighting with it. Like that's human nature. 818 00:53:34.639 --> 00:53:37.639 So and and if you kind of give into that, like in the way 819 00:53:37.639 --> 00:53:42.119 that Apple, you know, Apple kind of didn't really have to say over 820 00:53:42.159 --> 00:53:44.199 it. They kind of just set the market up to work in this way. 821 00:53:44.239 --> 00:53:45.920 And it turns out like that's human nature took over at that point. 822 00:53:46.400 --> 00:53:51.840 But if you're going to have that race at the bottom this the results were 823 00:53:51.840 --> 00:53:53.760 inevitable, and here we are, and it's kind of hard to care about 824 00:53:53.760 --> 00:53:58.159 anything when it feels like these games don't care about themselves for the most part. 825 00:53:58.960 --> 00:54:01.920 Remember remember when it was like, oh, there's a beer on my 826 00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:08.119 screen and I can go like yeah. I remember having the fog screen where 827 00:54:08.119 --> 00:54:10.239 it's like, oh, we're gonna cover your screen and fog and then you 828 00:54:10.239 --> 00:54:13.679 can wipe it off with your finger because there's a touchscreen, and I'll like, 829 00:54:13.800 --> 00:54:17.320 yeah, and this is technology right here. The fake later, the 830 00:54:17.400 --> 00:54:22.679 fart apps, Yeah, totally soundboards, you know, like, yes, 831 00:54:22.360 --> 00:54:25.119 that's so what we need to get rid of. Ninety nine cents? Yeah, 832 00:54:25.159 --> 00:54:29.719 absolutely, yeah, God, all right, last story here, just 833 00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:32.440 real quick. Twenty twenty three was the first Wallouigi list year since two thousand? 834 00:54:34.000 --> 00:54:39.519 Is this from Zack swyzen a Kataku basically the Super Mario wiki Twitter posted 835 00:54:39.760 --> 00:54:43.880 this the first year that there was no new game with wall Oigi in it 836 00:54:44.239 --> 00:54:47.239 since the year two thousand. So if the year felt off, now we 837 00:54:47.320 --> 00:54:51.719 know why. Hopefully we correct this in twenty twenty four, like, is 838 00:54:51.760 --> 00:54:54.880 there any known game with Walluigi launching in it? And I guess we don't 839 00:54:54.920 --> 00:55:00.360 know what to see, but yeah, that's right, Zach zackly So best 840 00:55:00.440 --> 00:55:04.079 year for gaming my ass? That's right. I mean, I mean I 841 00:55:04.119 --> 00:55:07.599 made the joke on tire ball making here as well. Marios Strikers Botle League. 842 00:55:07.719 --> 00:55:12.599 Was that unfathomably shit that he took a year off. I like that 843 00:55:12.639 --> 00:55:15.719 game, it's just but I don't I like the gameplay. That's day. 844 00:55:16.320 --> 00:55:20.840 Yes, it's there's nothing to it. Yes, If there's nothing to it, 845 00:55:21.599 --> 00:55:23.880 they could have done. Hey, here's an idea for Nintendo sports games 846 00:55:23.880 --> 00:55:27.760 going forward, a rogue light mode. I don't know what that looks like. 847 00:55:27.880 --> 00:55:30.719 Nintendo just take do something with that idea. Do it. Here's here's 848 00:55:30.719 --> 00:55:37.039 an idea for Nintendo sports game, finish them the Scott that's not an option. 849 00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:42.920 That's too much. The WEI version from fucking two thousand and seven had 850 00:55:43.039 --> 00:55:45.920 so much more content than I was so excited for. I love that Week 851 00:55:46.000 --> 00:55:50.760 game. I hate football, Love that Week game. I played it again 852 00:55:50.760 --> 00:55:57.679 the other day. Super Mario Strikers Mario yeah whatever. I don't know. 853 00:55:57.719 --> 00:56:00.559 I guess it's name over here because we we call love football. Yeah. 854 00:56:01.440 --> 00:56:04.480 On the back of the box are like, it's not football, or it's 855 00:56:04.519 --> 00:56:07.360 not soccer, it's strikers, it's a whole other sport whatever, because that's 856 00:56:07.400 --> 00:56:10.880 why Warrior can carry the ball. Next I played, the gameplay is on 857 00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:15.440 point. There's so many great like counter moves you could do at any one 858 00:56:15.480 --> 00:56:17.920 time, and and and so they figure that stuff out. So it just 859 00:56:17.960 --> 00:56:22.280 makes it more disappointing that there's not more content there. But I think Next 860 00:56:22.360 --> 00:56:28.440 Level Games are an extremely talented studio. The animation is phenomenal. Yes, 861 00:56:28.480 --> 00:56:34.159 clearly, the Mario sports formula Nintendo has done with the switch as dog shit. 862 00:56:34.360 --> 00:56:37.679 Like Mario Tennis Aces was fine, but like even yeah, even Mario 863 00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:43.599 Tennis Aces and Mario Golf had like bad campaign modes, like they had real 864 00:56:43.639 --> 00:56:46.639 bad Camp, Yes, really bad. Bottle League had like nothing like I 865 00:56:46.639 --> 00:56:50.679 don't even I think the Campaign and Battle League was like I think the most 866 00:56:50.719 --> 00:56:52.920 Moore tournaments, the most disappointing one out of all them is the Golf game, 867 00:56:52.960 --> 00:56:58.559 because the three DS Golf Game had that incredible online tournament's mode and the 868 00:56:59.119 --> 00:57:01.360 Switch one did not have that. They just decided for the switch. All 869 00:57:01.400 --> 00:57:05.159 of these sports games are going to be party games, like in person party 870 00:57:05.199 --> 00:57:07.239 games, and it's like the Golf game launched what early in the pandemic, 871 00:57:07.320 --> 00:57:10.119 and it's like this fucking's this is so terrible. I wish we had the 872 00:57:10.119 --> 00:57:15.000 three DS game pack. I think I think football is worse. I hate 873 00:57:15.039 --> 00:57:16.960 to say it, I think it's so much worse. That's that's like my 874 00:57:17.039 --> 00:57:21.280 least favorite game I've bought in the last three years. And I you know 875 00:57:22.159 --> 00:57:27.039 I bought. I don't try to think of a thank you bought that. 876 00:57:27.159 --> 00:57:32.000 Yeah, bought Redemption too. All right, let's get to the poll question 877 00:57:32.119 --> 00:57:35.760 here. Actually I get that set up. Before I get that set up, 878 00:57:35.920 --> 00:57:37.920 Scott, what you got going on? Where can people find you? 879 00:57:37.840 --> 00:57:45.480 So? I again find me on Twitter at s McCrae Underscore because I couldn't 880 00:57:45.519 --> 00:57:51.280 get McRae. My news stuff's on murder Quody UK where you can find the 881 00:57:51.360 --> 00:57:53.880 Laker, Dragon inf and a Wealth preview we were talking about earlier in the 882 00:57:53.920 --> 00:58:00.159 show, which I will link in the chat now for clout. Yeah, 883 00:58:00.199 --> 00:58:05.039 you know, follow me on Twitter. I'll course the kind of you know. 884 00:58:05.519 --> 00:58:08.559 I don't think you need to see my like how to talk to pierographin 885 00:58:08.599 --> 00:58:10.719 and Fortnite Gate that much, but if you want to see it you can 886 00:58:10.760 --> 00:58:15.199 find that all my offer page on mirror. But you know, all the 887 00:58:15.239 --> 00:58:21.519 big stuff I'll be posting, I'll be showing you and you can find me 888 00:58:21.760 --> 00:58:28.400 on I don't know people you can find me. People find you on Game 889 00:58:28.440 --> 00:58:30.079 this morning is at a couple of weeks. I'm sure get you back on 890 00:58:30.159 --> 00:58:34.400 here for sure. Scott, thanks for hanging out. Let's do his pull 891 00:58:34.519 --> 00:58:37.519 question. Do you want Nintendo's next console to be an iteration on the switch 892 00:58:37.639 --> 00:58:44.559 or something completely new? Eighty three said they want a switch iteration, to 893 00:58:44.599 --> 00:58:46.960 a little surprise, seventeen percent say they want something totally different. I wonder 894 00:58:47.000 --> 00:58:52.039 how many of that seventeen percent think totally different means make a big, powerful 895 00:58:52.119 --> 00:58:55.400 console like an Xbox Series X or PlayStation five. I've got a significant number 896 00:58:55.519 --> 00:59:00.000 are thinking about that instead of something equivalent to like the Wii. But yeah, 897 00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:06.000 I think people are hearing iterative and thinking like nothing, no upgrade at 898 00:59:06.000 --> 00:59:08.159 all. To me, that just sounds like more powerful. But it's the 899 00:59:08.199 --> 00:59:13.519 same thing, you know, it's still more powerful, more powerful, same 900 00:59:13.559 --> 00:59:17.199 thing. And then there will one hundred percent be some new gimmick. But 901 00:59:17.719 --> 00:59:22.000 every thing has had some new gimmick, you know, yes, yes, 902 00:59:22.760 --> 00:59:27.280 head third three D the switch had h d rumble and the IR camera and 903 00:59:27.280 --> 00:59:30.239 probably some other stuff I'm forgetting about. And that's of course that stuff. 904 00:59:30.239 --> 00:59:32.960 It doesn't matter because it's the whole point is not about mattering. It's never 905 00:59:34.239 --> 00:59:37.440 It's like everything we talk about at the beginning of legit console generation, it's 906 00:59:37.440 --> 00:59:40.559 about four stops a lescens to make you convinced that you're getting something more than 907 00:59:40.599 --> 00:59:44.760 what you're getting, so you're you feel better about spending the five hundred bucks 908 00:59:44.800 --> 00:59:46.880 or whatever the system is gonna cost four hundred bucks. What you do is 909 00:59:47.440 --> 00:59:52.079 you get two sweatches, you sandwich them and you can open it up and 910 00:59:52.079 --> 00:59:59.639 there's two screens something REVM HAVN and Elite. The agents on a there you 911 00:59:59.679 --> 01:00:02.360 go. That's my pitch. I love it. I want to see it. 912 01:00:05.039 --> 01:00:08.960 Man, cut the check, cut the check, Nintendo. Let's see. 913 01:00:09.039 --> 01:00:12.639 I mentioned this earlier. I just just jan and chat. He was 914 01:00:12.679 --> 01:00:14.880 just cut the check. So I thought about him when we were talking about 915 01:00:14.880 --> 01:00:16.800 mobile games. And he's sick. He's in bed. He just wrote honk 916 01:00:16.800 --> 01:00:22.360 guy when we were talking about mobile games. Yes, he's truly, just 917 01:00:22.760 --> 01:00:27.719 disgustingly sick. I just thought, I'm not just like on his deathbed, 918 01:00:28.119 --> 01:00:30.840 hom guy, Like it's gonna be the last thing he says in like seven 919 01:00:31.000 --> 01:00:34.519 seventy five years. But I'm not saying he's dying now. But I need 920 01:00:34.559 --> 01:00:37.880 to get my myomy G peg for the day. Yeah. There, it 921 01:00:37.960 --> 01:00:40.679 is good stuff. All right. A new pole question. I didn't write 922 01:00:40.719 --> 01:00:43.679 one down, but here, why don't we do this? Which tetris? 923 01:00:43.719 --> 01:00:46.480 Do you prefer modern tetris or classic tetris? And we'll define that as like 924 01:00:46.800 --> 01:00:51.280 modern tetris is where you could store a piece and move the piece along the 925 01:00:51.320 --> 01:00:55.840 top and classic tetris being kind of the nes more brutal tetris. All right, 926 01:00:55.960 --> 01:01:00.920 we will talk about that on Game This Mornings tomorrow on Giant Bomb. 927 01:01:00.960 --> 01:01:02.519 Speaking of Giant Bomb. Today, we're gonna do a T and T. 928 01:01:02.719 --> 01:01:07.559 It's probably gonna be Titanfull two, but I might try to sneak that over 929 01:01:07.679 --> 01:01:12.639 to a Tetras ninety nine instead. We'll see yes te spin or no te 930 01:01:12.679 --> 01:01:15.159 spin. Thank you Marino. That's right. Tea spins are really cool. 931 01:01:15.519 --> 01:01:17.880 That's when the first time I did a te spin and and made it work, 932 01:01:17.960 --> 01:01:21.880 that was a I felt very neat, like, oh my god, 933 01:01:21.920 --> 01:01:25.719 H'm now I'm thinking in three D. Any other things we have going on? 934 01:01:25.760 --> 01:01:30.239 Oh yeah, we'll voice Moolton Truck later today. We will have some 935 01:01:30.239 --> 01:01:34.639 stuff going on Tomorrow. Dan hurt his middle finger. He broke his middle 936 01:01:34.679 --> 01:01:39.199 finger. So I think for UPF tomorrow, what we're gonna do is I'm 937 01:01:39.199 --> 01:01:45.320 gonna have games set up that I'm playing and that he can partially control with 938 01:01:45.360 --> 01:01:50.079 his voice over discord. I think that's our plan. Uh so, uh 939 01:01:52.320 --> 01:01:54.480 the first is the exact one that came to mind first, and I got 940 01:01:54.559 --> 01:01:58.440 that set up ready to go. So I'll be playing with the controller, 941 01:01:58.679 --> 01:02:01.039 and I think what we should do is I'm not allowed to speak at all, 942 01:02:01.400 --> 01:02:04.480 Like I'm not allowed to talk to the game at all, and maybe 943 01:02:04.519 --> 01:02:07.880 not at all. It's so like dankns yell whatever he wants and I have 944 01:02:07.960 --> 01:02:12.199 to just deal with the consequences. But we'll see. I'll say if anyone 945 01:02:12.239 --> 01:02:15.800 has any other ideas for games that are like that. I downloaded Tom Clancy's 946 01:02:15.840 --> 01:02:20.920 Indo War, which is on Steam stell. I also I got a version 947 01:02:20.960 --> 01:02:23.519 of Tom Clancy's Hawks, which I think has voice control as well. That's 948 01:02:23.519 --> 01:02:27.119 not available anymore, so I had to like find some shady places on the 949 01:02:27.119 --> 01:02:31.480 internet. The lemoy One Man, Yes, he played a ton of Sea 950 01:02:31.480 --> 01:02:34.440 Man, so I don't know if we're gonna do se Man, but hey, 951 01:02:34.639 --> 01:02:38.320 that's on the table. Yes, hey you Pikachu, Yes, we 952 01:02:38.400 --> 01:02:42.440 might do that one, all right, so look out for that on Friday. 953 01:02:43.360 --> 01:02:45.880 Other than that, though, Scott mcgrae, thank you for hanging out 954 01:02:45.880 --> 01:02:49.599 today with talking with me about video games.
