M m m m m m.
It's the Internet. You're busy. Let's

2
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,359
do this. Welcome to the Game
Mess Deicides podcast. This is the podcast

3
00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:34,320
where we decide everything about the world
of video games, so you never have

4
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:38,880
to think for yourself. I'm your
host, Jeff Grub with me is me

5
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,359
Mike Manati. In today's episode,
Kiwi doesn't want you getting excited about games

6
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:48,880
com Xbox three sixty store is dying, and Alan Wake is getting a spooky

7
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,880
delay. But first of Mike,
are you doing? They are going to

8
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,840
come for Zelda? I'm doing good? Jeff, how are you doing?

9
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,240
I'm coming for Zelda. I'm doing
I'm doing good. I'd rather be playing

10
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,280
Starfield, if I'm being completely honest, Like that's just true. Yeah I

11
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,000
was doing that too. It's so
weird to review two games like one I

12
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,200
can't talk about it like at all
on the other one and they're like,

13
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,840
yeah, let's tell everybody, Yeah
exactly, yeah I told him we're playing

14
00:01:11,879 --> 00:01:14,400
that, Like yeah, so I'm
sure, why not? I don't mind.

15
00:01:14,439 --> 00:01:15,840
Are you wearing? And that's the
shirt today because you're being cute about

16
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:22,480
the Starfield thing? I mean it
was okay, it was the first shirt

17
00:01:22,519 --> 00:01:26,200
I picked up, but I definitely
said yes to it because of Starfield.

18
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,599
Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean
I probably would have were weren't in either

19
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,599
way, But here we are.
Yeah, we got codes today for Starfield.

20
00:01:34,719 --> 00:01:37,120
That's what's going on. Well,
I guess well, I mean,

21
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:38,200
there's not much else to say about
that. We're not we're not allowed to

22
00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:41,560
say much else, but I think
we're allowed to say that we have codes,

23
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:42,640
we're playing it. I think we
were able to say when the embargo

24
00:01:42,719 --> 00:01:46,359
is I forget that part. Yeah, I'll talk about it in a second,

25
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,000
but I don't know. How are
you doing otherwise? Oh, I'm

26
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,200
doing really good. I did a
show with Jeff Jared today. That was

27
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,359
surreal. That was I was gonna
ask. Yeah, it seemed like it

28
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,200
went well. I listened to what
I could. Did you have fun?

29
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,000
Yeah, it was a lot of
fun. He's a nice guy. Uh.

30
00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:04,400
He was very interesting when I told
him about RBS and how it started

31
00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:07,719
in Ohio. Uh. Yeah,
I think we're buds. I think he

32
00:02:07,039 --> 00:02:12,280
seemed to really impress with my grilling
knowledge. So I was wow, he's

33
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:15,400
he's from Tennessee, right, so
exactly he would appreciate that. I would

34
00:02:15,439 --> 00:02:20,120
think I you know what it is, you know what, you know what

35
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:25,039
the problem is downloading Starfield on Xbox
as well. I made a mistake.

36
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,759
It's my fault, it's it's you
know. But who could do anything to

37
00:02:30,759 --> 00:02:35,000
stop that could be causing all these
dropped frames? You know this is a

38
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,159
frame. We haven't any other drop
frames. But since then you've also broken

39
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,360
up on Discord, broke up your
video went PIXELI for a second, do

40
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,120
you want me to have Vampire?
You'd pause that download? Jeff com it's

41
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,759
almost done, yes, all right, yes, just give me a second,

42
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,319
yeah, all right, Yeah,
Jeff Jarret's was a very fine fellow.

43
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,639
Uh, Jeff Grub try to put
a fast one on me. He

44
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,520
caught in the show. Made it
so that I would have to sing Jeff

45
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:04,240
Jarret's like country song from the bid
nineties, So I try to learn as

46
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,840
much of it as I could.
Then when it came time to sing it,

47
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:08,960
I froze and forgot the lyrics,
so I had to improvise my own.

48
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,560
But yeah, it worked out okay
in the end, here you are

49
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,080
hello. I paused it using my
Starfield controller. I like my Starfield controller.

50
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,280
It would hypothetically be very fun to
play that game with mouse and keyboard

51
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,400
and then when you're in the ship
to pick up your starfield, like it's

52
00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:28,400
like Spaceship the line time. Yeah, with all these cool ship things written

53
00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:30,479
all over it and like that are
accurate to how it actually works in the

54
00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:36,280
game. Yeah, that'd be pretty
cool. Okay. Yeah, let's let's

55
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:38,759
see what we got going on.
Yeah, I'm done with Pickman for I

56
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,960
did it all. You did it. I saw you post that picture.

57
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,680
You the hell out of that game. Well, I think so some people

58
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,240
get back why you didn't like do
this side, like because you talked to

59
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,759
the space people and they're like,
I want four garlic ballby boys, And

60
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,719
I'm like, uh sorry, you
know, I'm like cool, that sounds

61
00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:57,840
like your problem, not mine.
God, every treasure explored, every area

62
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,199
found, and cured every stranded person
that it did everything. Yeah, good,

63
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:08,680
I think I'm probably done with that
game. I would like to go

64
00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:12,400
back and get the last few treasures
that I have not gotten, but just

65
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,840
out of time, out of time, so too much else going on.

66
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:16,879
Maybe that you've beat another game.
I did beat another game. I beat

67
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,480
Tears to the Kingdom. Yeah,
yeah, I think we'll talk a little

68
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,319
bit about that. At the end
of the show, just to wrap things

69
00:04:23,399 --> 00:04:27,680
up, we'll say a ton I
don't think because it's the very end,

70
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,079
but I can probably just talk about
my overall, all right, everybody else

71
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,720
is beaten and that's true, exactly, yes, all right. You can

90
00:05:40,879 --> 00:05:43,240
yet to ask, I haven't heard
anything yet. I'm hope. I'm wondering

91
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,079
if people have enjoyed it so far, but yeah, cool, good.

92
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,959
I'm people saying like, oh,
I got us subscribe for this. So

93
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,759
it's like a completely different audience.
I think that we might be interested in

94
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,680
this than video games, but even
our video game audience is like, yeah,

95
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,000
I'll check this out. So very
cool. About the Jeopardy game we

96
00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:03,360
missed last month because we were traveling
and Shawn was traveling, we're just going

97
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,560
to end up actually skipping the last
month and we're just going to get back

98
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,920
on the normal schedule next week.
That's when we would have done it for

99
00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:12,879
this month. Anyhow, We're just
gonna get back on that schedule, So

100
00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:15,720
apologies to supporters, but did we
ever put the old one live? Did

101
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,399
we ever do a premiere for that? I don't know. I'm talking to

102
00:06:18,399 --> 00:06:20,439
do that tomorrow at least. I
don't see any reason why we have to

103
00:06:20,439 --> 00:06:24,160
hold that off, right, Okay, Yeah, that sounds good. That's

104
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:29,680
a good point. So we'll make
that happen and then anything else. So,

105
00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:30,560
yeah, the month of Q and
A. I'm gonna do the month

106
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,519
of Q and A this weekend,
so look out for that. Probably just

107
00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:36,839
talk to you all while I'm playing
Starfield or something, and I will not

108
00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:42,279
make any gestures about actually playing anything
that multitask game. So I'm sure it's

109
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,680
going to go very well. That's
exactly right, all right, So we

110
00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:47,480
have the big topics of the week. Of course, Starfield. Everyone is

111
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:53,399
getting codes, it's available for preload. It seems like they are there.

112
00:06:53,519 --> 00:06:56,040
Seems like they're pretty confident about this
game. This is not the way that

113
00:06:56,079 --> 00:06:59,720
they treated Redfall for example. No, by the way, Shawn does not

114
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,680
like the doing Jeopardy tomorrow thing for
some reason, so I guess that's not

115
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:09,319
happening. Everybody. We have to
do it. Sean wants Yeah, yeah,

116
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,399
No, I think that. I
think that's exactly it. Jeff.

117
00:07:11,439 --> 00:07:15,480
I think they have swagger. Let's
Starfield. I think that they are incredibly

118
00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:18,199
confident. They're getting code out early, they're giving it to, you know,

119
00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:23,279
anybody, seems like almost anyone who
wants won. It's not like there's

120
00:07:23,279 --> 00:07:28,040
only one code for your outlet kind
of you know. They were just like,

121
00:07:28,079 --> 00:07:30,160
how many need you need? I
was like, I would like going

122
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,600
for everyone on the staff, and
then they were just like, all right,

123
00:07:31,639 --> 00:07:33,240
here it is. I'm like,
okay, cool, and then I

124
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,959
made everyone in the slacks say nice
things about me before I gave him the

125
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,480
code. So that's like, I'm
Mike, ma, naughty move. I'm

126
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,480
teaching you. Well, I'm walking
on sunshine over here. I see why

127
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,279
you do it good? It does? Yeah, absolutely so. Yeah.

128
00:07:47,319 --> 00:07:53,759
I think the other thing is the
marketing blitz for this game has not necessarily

129
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:59,759
like kicked in that I've noticed still, but coming off of Boulter's Gate three,

130
00:07:59,839 --> 00:08:03,920
is even necessary anymore? Yeah?
Right? Yeah, like it's it's

131
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,000
not like Bater's Gate three out a
super book exactly. Yeah. I don't

132
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,759
think it had a commercial. I
don't think it did. Yeah, I

133
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:18,720
didn't even have reviews. Right the
hell did people find out it's just the

134
00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:24,319
bear fucking that's all the bear fucking? Uh? Yeah, I don't know.

135
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,199
I don't look. Maybe, for
all I know, their ad campaid

136
00:08:26,279 --> 00:08:28,439
is in full force, and I
wouldn't really know because I don't even know

137
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,240
how you advertise anymore. Yeah,
right, I don't have I just actually

138
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:37,159
canceled my YouTube TV, so I
don't even have that anymore. But I

139
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,759
wasn't like sitting around for the commercials
even when I did, so Yeah,

140
00:08:41,759 --> 00:08:43,399
I don't know. I guess we're
gonna see. My hunch is this game's

141
00:08:43,399 --> 00:08:46,039
gonna do very well, Mike.
I think it's gonna do great on game

142
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,159
Pass, and I bet, I
bet it's gonna sell a lot on Steam,

143
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,480
and I bet it's actually gonna sell
on Xbox as well, because a

144
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,399
lot of people are like, this
is what I bought an Xbox four.

145
00:08:52,759 --> 00:08:56,000
I don't need a game, I
don't need game Pass, just just to

146
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,960
play this one game, So I'm
just gonna buy it. So I expect

147
00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:01,679
it's gonna do very well. It
does seem like the hype is building.

148
00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:03,200
I think it was pretty smart for
them to let people say they have the

149
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,240
review code so that they people would
be like, well, listen, how

150
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,320
many people are playing it now?
That makes me want to play it more

151
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,960
so. I mean it is a
bit of a marketing beats and I know,

152
00:09:13,039 --> 00:09:20,679
like it seems distasteful to some people, but I don't like yeah to

153
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,080
me, so I don't know.
Uh yeah, sure, I'll say I

154
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,559
have a review code whatever. Yeah, you know, just uh the review

155
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:31,480
embargo August thirty first, I think
it's around mid day. Is the embargo

156
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,000
that day? But it's not that
they You and I are going to Seattle,

157
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,960
Yes, yes, it is.
So we're on the same playe going

158
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,679
there. Isn't that fun? It'll
be fine. Yeah, well we'll stream

159
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,879
Starfield from the from the sky everybody. We will not that's not gonna work.

160
00:09:43,919 --> 00:09:46,720
It's that unsafe, don't They don't. They don't let the president vice

161
00:09:46,799 --> 00:09:50,240
president flying the same playing You know, that's true, exactly right. The

162
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:56,200
game game messes could be potentially permanently
compromised. I don't don't do a sequel

163
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,360
to uh, what's the American Pie
songs? They just called American Pie.

164
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,480
Yeah, it's called American Pie.
There's a lot of words in that song,

165
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,720
like it could be named after any
of them. It's called Helter Skelter.

166
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,279
Yes, that's exactly what I was
thinking. I'm thank you all right

167
00:10:13,399 --> 00:10:16,759
now. Jeff Keeley provides update on
games Com Opening Night Live, emphasizing updates

168
00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:22,159
rather than new announcements is what people
should be looking for. The August twenty

169
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,559
second event will showcase many many announced
previously announced, that is to say,

170
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,200
upcoming games such as Allen Wake two
and Blackmith Wu Kong. This year's Opening

171
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,399
Night Live is aimed at giving fans
updates on those kinds of games due out

172
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,159
over the next twelve months, rather
than unveiling brand new projects. This is

173
00:10:37,159 --> 00:10:43,919
according to an interview that Jeff Keeley
did with VGC, the Game Awards producers

174
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,279
regular preshow presentation with the German games
Com Expo is returning last year. It

175
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:52,159
was an in person event for the
first time since twenty nineteen. This is

176
00:10:54,279 --> 00:10:56,799
not too surprising for games Com,
right, No, I mean that's usually

177
00:10:56,799 --> 00:11:01,000
I know people are kind of expecting
this game's calm to pop off a bit

178
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,320
more than usual. Who knows.
But I mean, even even though I

179
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,480
don't think this is the spirit of
what he's saying, because I think what

180
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,000
he's trying to say his lawyer expectations. But if we're taking him literally,

181
00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:15,399
there's still like games that have quote
unquote been announced that we could find out

182
00:11:15,639 --> 00:11:20,480
a big stuff about, like a
Perfect Dark a tomb Raider. Right,

183
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,200
So like some of stuff that we
know is out there and exists, but

184
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,039
I don't know much about it,
haven't really seen in any significant way.

185
00:11:28,159 --> 00:11:33,039
Right. And Xbox is there,
Nintendo is there in some form, a

186
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,919
bunch of third party publishers there,
Sony not there. Sony probably going to

187
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,639
have its own showcase of some sort, whether it's a you know, PlayStation

188
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,759
direct wherever the fuck they call him, or a State of Play stay to

189
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,480
play, or a big showcase.
Yes, they probably have one of those

190
00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:52,200
coming in the next month or two, maybe maybe longer. Nintendo, though,

191
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,879
we're gonna have a direct, probably
in early September. So will they

192
00:11:54,919 --> 00:11:58,919
have anything to announce at Games Come. I know there's been rumors about that

193
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:03,480
hardware potentially getting talked about in some
form at games Com. That would still

194
00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:05,960
be very weird, but also not
on the rum of possibility. So uh

195
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,240
yeah, big things could happen.
It's just like I don't know. We

196
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,240
always do the thing of like,
let's list every possibility, and then by

197
00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:16,879
listing every possibility, it's like one
percent of those things actually ends up happening,

198
00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:20,279
when in reality, like, of
course, that's that's what was going

199
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,600
to happen. So I really don't
know where to set expectations. And we're

200
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,799
trying to tell people reasons to be
excited, and I'm inclined to believe the

201
00:12:26,919 --> 00:12:31,559
spirit of what Keiley was saying,
as you said, and in that trying

202
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,960
to lower expectations, like because even
the games that he did mention, like

203
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,720
Blackmith Wu Kong, like that's I
think that's the level of game that we're

204
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,759
going to get updates on. Yeah, that's that one that you guys were

205
00:12:41,759 --> 00:12:43,159
all excited about. And I was
like, really this one that that's just

206
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,600
another being excited about. I think
it looks I think it looks graphically impressive.

207
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,840
Is another souls like right, everybody
thinks something else. I think you're

208
00:12:52,879 --> 00:12:58,480
thinking of Wang Fu? What's that
game? We can understand bike well long

209
00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:03,840
Long Long Wolong Yes, whatever?
F well fine, good then okay,

210
00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:07,799
yes, I uh, I yeah, I don't know. I'm gonna I'll

211
00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:11,279
watch Opening Night Live. But it's
uh, that's in five days, man,

212
00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:15,440
people are gonna be Yeah, it's
five days from NOWS when opening out

213
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:16,799
live is glad. I don't like
part of It's like it'd be nice to

214
00:13:16,799 --> 00:13:18,879
go to Games Calm, but now
I'm like, I'm glad I'm not going

215
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,639
to games. I'm glad I'm not
going to games. Yes, I don't

216
00:13:22,639 --> 00:13:24,799
want to. I don't want to
go to Germany right now. And it's

217
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,960
just we have to go to packs. They're like, we have peers.

218
00:13:28,039 --> 00:13:30,879
I mean, you know Tam and
Lucy among them, Dean, you know

219
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,600
from games Beat. They will travel
constantly. They're literally dam and Lucy going

220
00:13:35,639 --> 00:13:39,919
to Games Calm and then going to
going to packs right after that. I

221
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,080
don't know how they do that.
That would drive me bananas. Yeah,

222
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:48,240
I'm I'm definitely over back that level
of travel. It's fun every once in

223
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,320
a while. Every three months is
kind of the maximum. Like I'm possibly

224
00:13:50,919 --> 00:13:54,320
I could do a few a year, and that's the kind of exciting and

225
00:13:54,480 --> 00:14:00,159
novel than I was absolutely uh all
right. Microsoft will close the Xbox three

226
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,919
sixty store next year, resulting in
more than two and twenty digital Xbox three

227
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:09,399
sixty games becoming unavailable for purchase users. Can redownload previous purchases, but after

228
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,960
July twenty nine. At twenty twenty
four, no new purchases will be possible

229
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,960
from the Xbox three sixty store,
including games in DLC. This applies to

230
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,679
purchases made directly through the Xbox three
sixty console or from the Xbox three sixty

231
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,399
Marketplace website. While many of the
games will still be playable via other means,

232
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,960
approximately approximately two hundred and twenty of
them will essentially disappear forever. There

233
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,919
are nearly five hundred games in the
Games on Demand section dealing with games that

234
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:37,799
also have physical releases. Some will
still be available digitally on Xbox One and

235
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,120
Xbox Series X through the store on
there through the Becker Compatibility layer. You

236
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,960
could buy it through those and still
play it. But the digital only games

237
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,679
in the Xbox Live Arcades section are
at a higher risk of disappearing since they

238
00:14:48,759 --> 00:14:52,960
don't have a physical alternative. And
it VGC looked at it. It's about

239
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,559
two hundred and twenty games. You
know. I saw our buddy MVG like

240
00:14:58,639 --> 00:15:03,240
saying like this is why digital storefront
suck, and I'm just like this happened,

241
00:15:03,279 --> 00:15:07,919
like these games, A lot of
these games were never available on physical

242
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,879
store shelves because they wouldn't have made
sense on physical store shelves. And then

243
00:15:11,919 --> 00:15:15,799
the games that were also available on
physical store shelves, they have not been

244
00:15:15,879 --> 00:15:20,279
on sale there for literally a decade
or more. So it's like we're just

245
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,799
talking about like, oh, physical
being better than digital, Like no,

246
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,000
they both have their weaknesses, and
clearly eventually, like the fact, the

247
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,639
idea that they could just go away
forever is digital's biggest weakness here. But

248
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,919
at the same time, I don't
know if I don't know what the solution

249
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,919
is because I don't expect these companies
ever to keep these things open forever.

250
00:15:39,679 --> 00:15:43,919
So well, to me, the
solution is, you know, emulation,

251
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,600
and we have that, and that's
happening. Xenia is a very good emulator

252
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,559
and it's getting better all the time. And you know, it's not a

253
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,120
perfect solution. But if you want
these games, you have until you know

254
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,639
mid next year to buy them and
have them can download them on your Xbox

255
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,559
three sixteen. I think they're saying
you could continue to redownload them. So

256
00:16:00,879 --> 00:16:04,240
I don't know, how do you
feel about all this kind of two minds

257
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,360
about it? Like I think there
is that one half of me that,

258
00:16:07,639 --> 00:16:11,679
you know, yeah, games preservation, that's really important. It sucks its

259
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,320
games aren't going to be around forever. And then there's like this bigger picture,

260
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,519
almost more philosophical point, where I
feel like some people have an expectation

261
00:16:19,559 --> 00:16:22,519
that everything is going to be around
forever. I don't know if this ties

262
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:29,799
into an inherent fear of immortality,
but you know, not every game is

263
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,519
gonna make it in some sense.
And I already feel bad because I know

264
00:16:33,639 --> 00:16:37,080
it's so important for some people to
preserve every game, and I think that's

265
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,720
great. And like you said,
some games aren't being preserved, maybe not

266
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:45,759
perfectly, but I'd be lying if
I said I would lose sleep if some

267
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,919
games from twenty years ago or whatever. Like you know, like some of

268
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,240
the I don't want to say bottom
barrel ones, some of the more obscure

269
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,039
ones. I know, not all
of them are. They are good disappear

270
00:16:55,039 --> 00:16:56,639
in ether. Lots of media does
disappear into the ether. You know.

271
00:16:56,679 --> 00:17:03,240
I know we're all fascinated by loss
of media, but there's almost the opposite

272
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,519
problem of you know, compounding media. I guess you can say, Jeff

273
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:14,039
right, yes, it's at a
certain point becomes yeah, but more it's

274
00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:19,000
an exponential growth problem of maintaining all
this stuff. I will say that if

275
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,160
we're worried about the digital games and
you don't want to do the emulation because

276
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:29,200
emulation isn't perfect or whatever, hang
up you have. Let me tell you

277
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,680
about the Xbox three sixty hacking scene, which is cracked wide open. You

278
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,400
could put all that you could download
every single game on Xbox Live Arcade these

279
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,519
days, put it on a hard
drive and have it on your Xbox three

280
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,599
sixty, and I would I would
recommend doing that as opposed to trying to

281
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,640
go through the store even now,
if you if you're trying to play it

282
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,599
on original Xbox three sixty hardware.
Should Microsoft be doing all that stuff?

283
00:17:51,799 --> 00:17:56,640
Yeah, but they like it's it's
the lawyers are the problem. It's the

284
00:17:56,839 --> 00:17:59,960
rights holders that are the problem.
They tried to do as much backward compatible

285
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,200
as they could, and what stopped
it was not tech or their desire to

286
00:18:03,279 --> 00:18:07,440
do it. It was just a
getting through a wrangle of red tape to

287
00:18:07,599 --> 00:18:10,880
say, hey, we want to
keep your game alive, and a bunch

288
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,200
of people doing like we don't even
know who to talk to to get to

289
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,279
approval for that, Like, so
we're just like, this is a headache

290
00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:18,960
that we don't even care to solve. So even if you have a lot

291
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,599
of interest, Microsoft US as the
publisher of the rights holder or or the

292
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,200
presumed rights holder, we are not
interested in meeting you halfway on this.

293
00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:30,400
So you know that stuff like it
is their solution for that stuff, probably,

294
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,880
And I hope the Video Game History
Foundation continues to push for more like

295
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:42,279
reasonable digital library rules going forward,
especially as these games leave store shelves or

296
00:18:42,279 --> 00:18:47,559
as these digital stores close. It
would be nice for all of these games

297
00:18:47,599 --> 00:18:49,200
to just end up going on a
digital library and you could borrow it from

298
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,279
there, and that would be great. That does happen in so many words

299
00:18:52,319 --> 00:18:56,920
though, when it comes to archive
and and and and again, all these

300
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,640
ways to emulate these games. So
it is weird to me when, like

301
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:07,200
the takeaways, while digital is bad, the physical media is almost infinitely more

302
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,079
etherial than digital is right. I
mean you were just talking about your links,

303
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,839
awakening cards, a battery, diet
on that eventually battery. But still

304
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,519
it's like there's other things will fail. Yeah, these things are all going

305
00:19:17,559 --> 00:19:21,640
to disintegrate and deteriorate. At some
point, yes or another. The only

306
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,240
that's the permanent solution either, right, right, So the only hope if

307
00:19:25,279 --> 00:19:29,960
we want the stuff to actually be
preserved is eventually going to be digital.

308
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,039
Yeah, I don't know. It's
it's tricky, it's complicated, you know.

309
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,440
I want to just say I can't
get mad about storefronts closing it.

310
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,440
I never have, Honestly, I
wasn't even upset about the WUS storefront going

311
00:19:41,519 --> 00:19:47,240
down necessarily. I'm always happy when
people do find ways of preserving them.

312
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,680
Yes, I don't know, there's
apartment It's like I feel like the important

313
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,319
stuff usually is preserved one or another. I know there's always going to be

314
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,920
examples and slip ups here and there. But I don't know. Maybe I'm

315
00:20:00,039 --> 00:20:03,440
being lax about it. Yeah,
maybe, Yeah, I think that's uh

316
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,680
Shaan's not having it. Sean saying
a DVD likely you're going to die in

317
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:12,039
our lifetimes though that's a nonsense argument. I guess I was thinking more big

318
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:17,319
picture than than than that, even
in terms of like in terms of our

319
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:25,119
lifetimes. Yeah, but I'll say
that I'm if a game can get put

320
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,160
it can get put out physically,
I'm very happy when it does sure that

321
00:20:27,279 --> 00:20:32,000
that that's great, but that's also
just not like a lot of these games

322
00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:36,160
don't make sense physically at especially the
Xbox Live Arcater games. They were never

323
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:41,079
going to get released physically, so
you know, they'll like in terms of

324
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,000
like like in terms of like making
it make sense when they launched originally.

325
00:20:44,079 --> 00:20:47,480
So digital storefronts enabled a lot of
games that would not have happened otherwise.

326
00:20:48,039 --> 00:20:49,680
So, uh, you gotta take
the good with the bad a little bit

327
00:20:49,759 --> 00:20:56,759
there, and again the answer is
going to be piracy as an emulation down

328
00:20:56,799 --> 00:21:00,240
the line where it's like we're not
worried about the rights holders that are certain

329
00:21:00,279 --> 00:21:03,279
point, We're just going to take
digital libraries into our own hands. Uh.

330
00:21:03,559 --> 00:21:04,279
You know That's how I felt about
it for a very long time now

331
00:21:04,279 --> 00:21:07,119
because I I grew up in the
nes era, where a lot of the

332
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,400
games that I grew up on our
license games that are never going to get

333
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,319
rereleased ever again, and if they
do, it's in some weird form,

334
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,160
like even Mike Tyson's punch Out never
gonna get released as Mike Tyson's punch Out

335
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,319
ever again. And I could definitely
go track down a cartridge those exist,

336
00:21:23,279 --> 00:21:27,839
But if if you know, it's
not like that's just an easy thing for

337
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:32,000
anyone to do. What is easy
it is to load up an emulator and

338
00:21:32,319 --> 00:21:34,640
now anyone can have access to that
experience, and that's that's that's a good

339
00:21:34,759 --> 00:21:37,039
thing. I mean, what we
really do need is the kind of I

340
00:21:37,039 --> 00:21:40,400
don't want to say, I don't
know if legalization is the way I believe

341
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:45,400
in the normalization of emulators. Uh
more so, just more resources put it

342
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,119
behind it. I'd rather not almost
be like the thing we had to joke

343
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,559
about and pretend like we're being naughty. It's not as nothing naughty hip about

344
00:21:51,559 --> 00:21:56,200
it. It needs to just be
a thing. Yep, definitely all right.

345
00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,400
Remni Entertainment has delayed Alan Wake two's
release date on till October seven,

346
00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:03,480
a ten day push from the original
date. The game will be available on

347
00:22:03,559 --> 00:22:07,039
PS five, Xbox Series X and
S, and PC via the Epic Game

348
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,440
Store. Remedies cited the busy October
gaming schedule and expressed excitement for an upcoming

349
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,200
showcase at Gamescom. Allen Wait two
will be a digital only release, with

350
00:22:15,319 --> 00:22:19,200
prices set at sixty dollars. There
you go, ya, this is the

351
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:25,079
Satan itself rearing its head. Everybody
on consoles and fifty dollars on PC.

352
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,359
The decision for a digital only release
is based on shifts in player buying habits.

353
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:33,440
Blah blah blah. This is not
too surprising. We've been mentioning for

354
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,519
a while October looking packed that day, and particularly the day it was originally

355
00:22:37,559 --> 00:22:41,480
going to launch, I think is
when it was going to be the Super

356
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,599
Mario Brothers Wonder Spider Man two,
and previously it was what's the game that

357
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,640
moved forward? Now my mind is
blanking, but there was another game that

358
00:22:48,839 --> 00:22:51,200
like moved out of the way as
well, So like a lot of stuff

359
00:22:51,279 --> 00:22:52,519
is like shifting around trying to get
out of the way of Spider Man and

360
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,920
or Mario, and now here's this
one as well. And as I think,

361
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,279
as long as this game is out
in some form by October thirty first,

362
00:23:00,839 --> 00:23:04,519
it'll be just fine. Right,
Yeah, you definitely want to make

363
00:23:04,559 --> 00:23:07,880
sure that you're part of that Halloween
cycle there. You know, this is

364
00:23:08,599 --> 00:23:11,440
outside of those two big ones.
It seems like one of the bigger games

365
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:17,160
of the month, and it should
be fine. Anyways, I wondered,

366
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:18,839
you know, it is just ten
days, so it's like not enough to

367
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,200
really do anything I wanted. It's
like a little bit of all this because

368
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,680
it's a little wiggle room here.
That's such a small timeframe it's even hard

369
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,200
to say, uh there. But
you know, if you if you are

370
00:23:29,279 --> 00:23:33,599
just releasing your game digitally, it's
very easy to push back that release date

371
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,839
a little bit, right, right, You could be really flexible on that

372
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,960
stuff. Like you know, people
are freaking out about Starfield going gold or

373
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,400
whatever, which means getting printed to
disc. It's like, yeah, that's

374
00:23:42,519 --> 00:23:45,000
that's some pretty big deal for that
game. I guess not really, but

375
00:23:45,079 --> 00:23:48,400
I mean, because really it's about
the preload for a lot of people.

376
00:23:48,319 --> 00:23:52,160
But they do have to print that
game in some form to disk. I

377
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,799
think, you know, even if
it's just like a little thing that tells

378
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,000
them they download this thing, which
I don't know how Starfield works or whatever,

379
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,640
But if you have no discs on
shelf at all, why not like

380
00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:07,599
be a little bit more flexible to
maximize your potential to have success on launch

381
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,839
day? And Allen Wake two is
going to do that. I think the

382
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,519
excite for Allen Wake two is real, but you could feel like there's a

383
00:24:12,599 --> 00:24:17,559
world in which, like you know, Spider Man two sucks all the oxygen

384
00:24:17,599 --> 00:24:19,559
out of the room, and maybe
there's a maybe there's a slight chance that

385
00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:23,240
you know, the five percent Allen
Weight two does five percent fewer sales and

386
00:24:23,279 --> 00:24:26,240
it would have done otherwise. And
it's like that could be a pretty detrimental

387
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,839
thing for a game like Allen Wake
two. They want to get every sale

388
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,599
possible right away, and I think
getting out of the wayst is the smart

389
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,799
thing to do. What, like, do you have like games in October

390
00:24:37,839 --> 00:24:41,079
that you're like prioritizing at the top
of your list? Is it Spider Man

391
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,440
is at Mario? It's probably Mario
and Allen Wake two to be I mean,

392
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:45,519
Spider Man is so weird to me. I don't know why I'm not

393
00:24:45,599 --> 00:24:49,799
feeling like any hype for that whatsoever
at the moment. Like I like both

394
00:24:49,839 --> 00:24:53,680
of those Spider Man games a lot, and I right now, for some

395
00:24:53,839 --> 00:24:57,839
reason, my mood is I couldn't. I just can't really put Headspace or

396
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,920
Spider Man two right now. But
once that's out, I'm sure I will

397
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,000
enjoy it, Like I'm definitely going
to play that. But yeah, October

398
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,799
is getting crowded because there's I think
Assassin's Creedmarrage actually moved up a week.

399
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,680
That's the one that was That's the
one I couldn't think of. Yes,

400
00:25:11,759 --> 00:25:15,640
thank you, Yes, that'd be
interesting to see how that does. Oh

401
00:25:15,799 --> 00:25:19,240
gosh, I know there's other things. It's smaller things, but yeah,

402
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,319
it's you know, we had a
really busy June. It seemed like everything

403
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:27,599
that still did well in that really
busy June. The Street Fighter Diabo bo

404
00:25:27,759 --> 00:25:32,000
Bhasy sixteen June. But I don't
know. Maybe the difference between the middle

405
00:25:32,039 --> 00:25:36,079
of expectations and not reaching the high
end of expectations for BOMP Basic because of

406
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,079
that crowded month. I don't know, man. Maybe it's it's hard to

407
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,880
say, because you know, it
feels like games have been coming out nonstopping

408
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,279
and it's been super busy. But
that didn't hurt Balder's Gate three, and

409
00:25:45,319 --> 00:25:49,359
maybe it's well, that's PC and
so people were not in that same headspace.

410
00:25:49,759 --> 00:25:52,000
I don't know. It's it's really
hard to say. It's overall,

411
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,920
it seems like people are more excited
about video games than ever, and so

412
00:25:56,079 --> 00:26:00,200
everything's benefiting, but maybe not everything
actually will, and especially as we sort

413
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,759
of holidays and people maybe are looking
to save some money to, you know,

414
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:03,799
for other reasons. And I'm like, well, I am going to

415
00:26:03,839 --> 00:26:07,920
pick and choose. And I think
a lot of these games are afraid of

416
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:14,200
being the ones that don't get picked
real quick. Spider Man Spider Man two

417
00:26:14,279 --> 00:26:15,279
not going to be as big as
Spider Man one. That's no, there's

418
00:26:15,319 --> 00:26:18,559
no chance in hell, right,
no, No, it'll be huge.

419
00:26:18,599 --> 00:26:22,759
What we're experienced right now is a
weird right, it's just this name.

420
00:26:22,079 --> 00:26:25,480
Yeah, it's like, this's just
weird, like we it's in such a

421
00:26:25,559 --> 00:26:30,720
known quantity. But once it's out
like that, that more that bigger audience

422
00:26:30,799 --> 00:26:33,920
that did get Spider Man one and
Miles Morales there, as soon as it's

423
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,039
available for them to get they're going
to roar to life. Right, That's

424
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:37,400
that's what's gonna happen. I think
it's going to Yeah, it's gonna do

425
00:26:37,559 --> 00:26:41,119
very well. And you know that
hype might pick up a bit more as

426
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:41,880
we closer. I mean, you
know, I kind of I don't know

427
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,839
about you. I felt the same
way about God of War Ragnarok, and

428
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,480
that game did that's very very very
well. And you know I did,

429
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,279
and I played in and had a
lot of fun with it. Uh,

430
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,240
Okay, So here's another October game, just two days before Alan Wake's new

431
00:26:55,279 --> 00:26:57,480
release. It on October twenty fifth. Is that Alone in the Dark remake?

432
00:26:57,519 --> 00:27:02,039
It's right? Yeah, I would
maybe push that one out. I

433
00:27:02,079 --> 00:27:04,079
would made me say, how about
let's try that again next year? Yeah?

434
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:10,279
Who's who's releasing that? Is that? Under? So the Embracer group?

435
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,400
Yeah, okay, that sounds like
I don't know any more disappointments they

436
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:19,599
can afford. Uh, we'll see. That's that's rough to compete against Allan

437
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,680
Wake two if you're the like what
fourth attempts at making Alone in the Dark

438
00:27:23,759 --> 00:27:27,880
relevant again? Yeah, I mean, who knows, Maybe that's the good

439
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,640
one. Maybe Allan Wake two sucks. You never know, I guess.

440
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,039
So yeah, that's a good point, Jeff Who Yeah, exactly, who

441
00:27:33,079 --> 00:27:37,200
knows? So far, a lot
of the games I expect to be good

442
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,759
have been pretty good. They've been
pretty good. Yeah, that's right,

443
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,880
one time bad, We're bad.
So yeah, most things have been mostly

444
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:51,559
over delivering this year. Yeah,
there's City Skyline two and guess what else

445
00:27:51,599 --> 00:27:55,799
comes out in October? Middle Gear
Solid Master Collection Volume one. God,

446
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,599
I want to replay those games.
No way in hell, you're playing that

447
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,440
in Tober still make Timember. I'd
probably still try to make time for melgu

448
00:28:03,519 --> 00:28:08,519
sol at One's Yeah, but man, could that be like December? Like,

449
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,160
man, yeah, right, that
would be a great December release.

450
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,000
But I don't know whatever. I
guess I'll just get it in December.

451
00:28:15,599 --> 00:28:18,000
Uh. And then of course Call
of Duty in November. I think more

452
00:28:18,079 --> 00:28:22,680
of these games would be fine in
November. Like a lot of these games

453
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,319
do not have any overlap with Call
Duty, would be just yeah, it's

454
00:28:25,319 --> 00:28:29,440
like everybody's so afraid of Call of
Duty that they're not even touching, right.

455
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,119
That feels like the kind of thing
that like it's decided in a boardroom

456
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,039
that like, well, I heard
everyone plays Call of Duty. So we

457
00:28:34,079 --> 00:28:36,839
got got out the way of that. It's like, I think you should

458
00:28:36,839 --> 00:28:40,920
think a little bit more critically than
that, all right, that the Call

459
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,079
of Duty? Or do we not
even want to bother talking about that?

460
00:28:44,319 --> 00:28:47,160
Call? I had it in the
rundown and then I got rid of it

461
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,920
because we've talked about Call Duty pretty
a lot over the last couple of weeks,

462
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,799
and now everything that we've talked about
it was part of the rumors,

463
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:59,279
it's confirmed. It's coming out November
seventy dollars all the maps Call Duty two.

464
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,799
It's gonna be a bit more open
world. E. I don't know

465
00:29:03,799 --> 00:29:04,559
if that's the right way of putting
it, but that's what I heard.

466
00:29:04,759 --> 00:29:08,119
Isn't that metory prime for I did
not, yes, but I thought the

467
00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:11,240
people were saying that about this reveal
that they were saying something. Is it

468
00:29:11,359 --> 00:29:15,400
the Bowers there's fear zombie zombies is
going to be a bit more open world.

469
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,319
I guess Oh, that's that sounds
like something that could probably happen,

470
00:29:19,839 --> 00:29:22,480
right. You just instead of like
giving you map after map, you just

471
00:29:22,599 --> 00:29:26,240
moved from point to point on the
map to like encounter the next wave of

472
00:29:26,319 --> 00:29:30,880
zombies. I could see them doing. That's it? Yeah, Well,

473
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,880
was it a God Black Ops four
that had like the really cinematic zombies mode.

474
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,759
They had that trailer with the four
people. It was like all original

475
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,759
characters instead of the funny historical ones. Zombies is so weird to me.

476
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,039
Yeah, zombies is like this thing
onto itself. I've always been like they're

477
00:29:45,039 --> 00:29:48,599
gonna just put out a car or
thinking they're gonna put out a Call Duty

478
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,079
zombies all on its own, and
of course they never have, but it

479
00:29:51,119 --> 00:29:55,720
feels like something that they have probably
considered a bunch of times. It's very

480
00:29:55,839 --> 00:30:00,119
very popular. Gene Park had a
story about called dating apparently like the are

481
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,000
trying to make the story mode a
bit more open. Who knows exactly.

482
00:30:03,119 --> 00:30:07,839
Yeah, I'm not sure what I'm
gonna expect far Cry or something. Right,

483
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,720
remember the year where there was like
they put choices in there and it

484
00:30:10,839 --> 00:30:12,559
was like, oh, you're gonna
be making these choices in the middle of

485
00:30:12,599 --> 00:30:15,240
the campaign, It's gonna affect the
story, and it's like it was the

486
00:30:15,279 --> 00:30:19,240
most basic implementation of that idea ever. That's what I would expect from open

487
00:30:19,319 --> 00:30:23,400
world Call of Duty or open zone
gameplay, and Call of Duty open Zone

488
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:30,240
all doing a Sonic Frontiers like yeah, it's a Sonic Frontiers Cologne And that

489
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,519
was the most obnoxious that they just
actually made open world game and because it

490
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,000
was split across like three maps,
they're like, well, it's not open

491
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,119
world, it's open we invented a
new things, Like what are you talking

492
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,880
about? They just wanted to use
the word zone because that's what they call

493
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,960
sonic levels get but give me a
break. Yeah, So Call of Duty

494
00:30:51,039 --> 00:30:55,559
confirmed, it's coming, Okay,
the fact that it is like all of

495
00:30:55,640 --> 00:31:00,160
the multiplayer maps are Call of Duty
two two thousand and nine remastered map that

496
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,680
nothing could scream more that this is
a DLC pack that's been turned into a

497
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,839
full game release. Like that sounds
like the most GLC pack release for the

498
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:14,799
last game possible. So whatever,
I'm interested. I'm interested in that.

499
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,680
I love Call of Duty Modern Warfare
two back then, so let's go,

500
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,559
I guess. But it's just weird
that there's no like new original maps for

501
00:31:22,599 --> 00:31:25,519
this new video game that they're releasing. They should add maps from other games.

502
00:31:25,559 --> 00:31:27,559
Then I'll get interested. I want
two ford in that Unreal tournament map

503
00:31:27,599 --> 00:31:30,799
that everybody, yeah, give me, give me some give me some tur

504
00:31:30,839 --> 00:31:34,680
Rock maps from Yeah, there we
go Trock two specifically. Okay, Yeah,

505
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,079
that does it for the news that
I have here. Uh, Mike,

506
00:31:37,119 --> 00:31:40,960
I think we got some super chats. Why don't we get to those

507
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,759
right now? Well, Davis,
wait a second, what if we do

508
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,480
that after small What if we take
a quick break, we'll be right.

509
00:31:48,519 --> 00:31:52,119
Sorry, I don't take notes.
Oh, I guess we're going all right,

510
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,759
Mike. Uh, you have those
super chats, why don't we hit

511
00:31:53,759 --> 00:31:56,920
those? Real questions? Oh no, I'm allowed. These moths are so

512
00:31:56,119 --> 00:32:00,720
up and they're telling me when I
had to stop doing things. Sean is

513
00:32:00,119 --> 00:32:07,039
openly disagree with me. A child, he defies us, You defy me

514
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:15,359
openly. What little Davis is?
Would you rather kiss Geo Dude or spank

515
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:20,599
mister mime? Oh that's a tough
one. I think you're time and I

516
00:32:20,599 --> 00:32:23,240
don't want you to rush into the
wrong decision here. I mean, I

517
00:32:23,319 --> 00:32:28,720
think the honest in my heart is
I would rather spank mister mime. I

518
00:32:28,799 --> 00:32:31,079
just want to see the reaction on
mister Mims's face when when they are spanked.

519
00:32:31,319 --> 00:32:35,359
Yeah, that would be very disturbing, but not dangerous at all.

520
00:32:35,359 --> 00:32:37,640
I think kissing Geo Dude could hurt
me. Yeah, yeah, I could

521
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:42,119
like chip a tooth, Yeah exactly. And now, because anythink Jude Dude

522
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,640
does, I might like go in
too fast. I might be too eager.

523
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,000
Yeah, man, what would the
hell are they think with mister mine?

524
00:32:49,079 --> 00:32:53,759
Man, that's just a terrible pokemon. Yeah, don't disagreement. Yeah,

525
00:32:53,759 --> 00:32:59,400
you're right, you got it in
one all right. Next one here

526
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:04,039
is for Baba's me, says,
evening gents, any predictions for how the

527
00:33:04,119 --> 00:33:08,079
boulders Gate theory release will go on
PlayStation five. Are folks pre ordering ready

528
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:12,359
for what the game appears to be? Turn based? Etc? I think

529
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,920
borders Gate three is going to do
very well on PlayStation five. Jump isn't

530
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:20,559
it already? Like we can't we
already see how it's doing, like already

531
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,680
listing highly and it topped like this
digital sales chart. I think I'm ps

532
00:33:23,799 --> 00:33:27,559
five or was not number one or
number two? Yeah, it's gonna crush

533
00:33:27,599 --> 00:33:30,920
on there. It's gonna be very
good. I think there's gonna be some

534
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:35,920
backlash from fanboys who are just buying
it because it's not on Xbox and they're

535
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,839
gonna be like what is this and
not get it? But whatever, most

536
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:43,559
people are going to get it and
enjoy it. Next one's el Grug it

537
00:33:43,599 --> 00:33:46,720
says, I just remember that bomb
Rush Cyber Fund comes out tomorrow. Also,

538
00:33:46,799 --> 00:33:52,119
whatever happened to Metal Slug Tactics or
those Swegenden Remesters? Man, I

539
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,480
hope Metal Sluck Tactics. It's Sweget
and Remesters just kind of wait till next

540
00:33:54,599 --> 00:33:58,160
year at this bone. Yeah,
for sure, give me a break,

541
00:33:59,359 --> 00:34:02,519
man, I Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.
There's a game I hope is good.

542
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:07,280
It's I'm already skeptical about those really
direct spiritual successors, and this is the

543
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:12,519
game that's basically just Jets Grind Radio. So you know, unless I hear

544
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:20,000
really glowing things about it, I'm
not gonna worry. Best spiritual successor Mighty

545
00:34:20,119 --> 00:34:25,599
number nine, Absolutely no, absolutely
not that I don't even uh okay,

546
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:32,519
the best one is not the Metroid
Vanya blood Stained, but that eight and

547
00:34:32,639 --> 00:34:37,119
that just plays like, yeah,
the one that just plays like Castlevania three.

548
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:42,320
That yeah, right, It probably
is like one of those as your

549
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,760
Striker gun Volts as Turbo Sean,
yeah, blood Yeah, I just like

550
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,440
a gun Volt somehow takes the anime
stuff from Mega man X that was already

551
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,079
maybe a bit much in really dial
but I think right, but I think

552
00:34:52,079 --> 00:34:53,320
the bar is pretty low for these
things, is like the whole point.

553
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,519
So I think actual Striker still plays
in that zone. But Maynet is interesting.

554
00:34:57,559 --> 00:35:00,119
I kind of forgot that initially Bayonetta's
whole thing was being a devil May

555
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:07,079
Christ spiritual successor, right, sure, yeah, the outer worlds it's a

556
00:35:07,119 --> 00:35:08,639
spiritual oh yes, okay, so
we start getting like that, there's those

557
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:14,039
territories there's some good answers there starting
value Ah, okay. Next one here

558
00:35:14,159 --> 00:35:17,079
is from step Tendo says wait sorry. Next one from Rodgers, g We'll

559
00:35:17,079 --> 00:35:21,119
get to you a second Septendo.
I genuinely feel bad for anyone having to

560
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,039
cover new games as fall. For
me, Starfield might as well be the

561
00:35:23,119 --> 00:35:27,320
final release of the year, though
I'm going to be playing for a very

562
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,280
very long time. There's a ton
of games, like you know, like

563
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,000
I was thinking about this, I'm
really enjoying all these games. Obviously,

564
00:35:32,559 --> 00:35:37,440
I could have been happy just playing
Street Fighter six for like another couple of

565
00:35:37,519 --> 00:35:40,840
months, maybe getting more characters to
Platinum, seeing if like a really grind

566
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,960
to diamond on a character. But
now it's like, man, there's no

567
00:35:45,079 --> 00:35:47,639
time right now. I'm going to
jump back in there, like another season

568
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:52,159
or maybe after some more characters come
out or something. Yeah, I'm like

569
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:57,199
I basically kind of ran through.
Uh well, I didn't rush Here's the

570
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,760
Kingdom by any means, but I
was not done with it like I could

571
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,039
have playing, and I would have
been happy, like slowly playing that through

572
00:36:02,079 --> 00:36:06,119
the rest of the probably through not
completely the end of the year, but

573
00:36:06,159 --> 00:36:08,599
probably for another month. I would
have found more stuff to do. You

574
00:36:08,639 --> 00:36:10,440
know, I'm happy, I'm satisfied. I'm not going to pick it up

575
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,239
again, probably for the rest of
the year. I'll get back to it

576
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,480
at some point, but yeah,
it is a little frustrating. But also,

577
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,920
you know, I did take my
time with that game. I've been

578
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,960
playing what it's like, almost half
a year now, since it can's been

579
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,519
a while, yeah, exactly,
so it's like whatever, that's fine.

580
00:36:24,519 --> 00:36:28,239
It happens as well, especially if, like I do want to move on

581
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,239
to these other games. So oh
well, it's a little bit annoying,

582
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,559
but you know, let's keep it
rail where you know, too many games.

583
00:36:34,639 --> 00:36:38,440
This is a cool problem to have, right right exactly. Next one

584
00:36:38,519 --> 00:36:43,840
here is from stef Time Too says
could GameCube NSO only be on switch to

585
00:36:44,599 --> 00:36:50,840
New three DS with sns question mark, I don't think GameCube NSL will be

586
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,239
on any of them, and if
it h but sure, maybe it would

587
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:58,800
only be a switch too thing if
they did. I don't think it' at

588
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,679
all. It's not about the tech
really, it's about the It's about the

589
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:07,320
perceived value. Yeah, I mean, Nintendo Trot was charging ten dollars for

590
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:12,000
in sixty four games until you know
really recently, and that the just just

591
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,400
with the switch generation, they were
finally like, all right, we can

592
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,039
put these in a service, or
you know, we now we start to

593
00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:21,199
view in sixty four games as kind
of be in that same zone as Super

594
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,480
Nintendo in anys games. And that
took a long time, and it's gonna

595
00:37:23,519 --> 00:37:28,800
take even longer with GameCube because they
see the thirst for GameCube out there and

596
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,760
they are gonna it's gonna be a
solid decade. I think of them remastering

597
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:37,159
GameCube games, so so buckle up. Deftendos oh so late sef tend also

598
00:37:37,159 --> 00:37:40,239
said new three DS with S and
S question mark and I'm not really sure

599
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,639
what they mean by that. Sorry, hang on, I think you got

600
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,039
turned down a little bit. All
right there, we gotta fix it.

601
00:37:46,559 --> 00:37:50,360
Uh, what was the what was
the thing? I'm sorry? New three

602
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,920
DS with any S question mark was
said because Super Nintendo games on three Yes

603
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,840
three DS? Oh, I see, thank you, Jeff, Yes,

604
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,559
no problem, I completely forgot that
was the case, ye big Jimbo.

605
00:38:02,679 --> 00:38:07,480
Ryan says, if either of you
two were to look up Last of Us

606
00:38:07,559 --> 00:38:09,880
too, MS paint mean, you
will see why. I think it was

607
00:38:10,159 --> 00:38:15,039
game of the Year. That year, Physy sixteen shouldn't qualify for RPG of

608
00:38:15,079 --> 00:38:19,599
the Year, right, I mean
it could qualify. Don't worry, it's

609
00:38:19,599 --> 00:38:22,480
not gonna win anyway. Yeah,
I'm pretty sure boters Gate three is going

610
00:38:22,559 --> 00:38:27,760
to has so much more excitement and
momentum behind it in the RPG category this

611
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:34,159
year. Did you look up last
of us MS paint mean, Jeff,

612
00:38:34,599 --> 00:38:37,079
Yeah, I don't let me see
here. I think it says lovingly made

613
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,440
and now that's League of Legends memes. I look, I definitely you know

614
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:44,719
what I banged it. That's my
big problem here me Yeah, yeah,

615
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:52,800
of US two ms paint h MS
Okay, yeah, sure, yeah,

616
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:57,679
this is is pretty good. This
is pretty good stuff. Sure, I'm

617
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:04,480
not interested. I pass, I
passed. Doctor butt Hunger says that news

618
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,920
segment was great. Can you add
a fake news segment to the podcast?

619
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,840
That'd be people would really like that, I think, Jeff, Yeah,

620
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,840
I'm sure we'll make it happen.
Yeah, it'll be like e GM April

621
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:20,639
Fools every month, every single month. Big Jimbo Ryan's back says, look

622
00:39:20,679 --> 00:39:22,840
out, look on YouTube and there
will be compilations. Big Jimbo Ryan's really

623
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:27,639
excited about these last of us MS
paid things. And I have to be

624
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,400
honest, mister Ryan, I can't
think of anything i'd rather look at less.

625
00:39:31,079 --> 00:39:35,519
I mean, Jim, I know
next time we have dinner, I'll

626
00:39:35,559 --> 00:39:38,119
check out before then and then we'll
have conversation about it. So look forward

627
00:39:38,119 --> 00:39:42,719
to big Jim. Ryan also said, if everyone can I get a mic

628
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:50,760
check one to check. Sorry,
apply, I don't. You never got

629
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,119
muted on an OBS. It's so
there must have been some issue there with

630
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:58,519
the with the tech or something.
So I was I'm sorry, I didn't

631
00:39:58,559 --> 00:40:00,840
realize I was it was in your
and I think it's something because I didn't

632
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:05,039
hit anything, and so I really
don't know what happened there. And I

633
00:40:05,119 --> 00:40:08,400
looked you were like turned down,
like you were like like like a little

634
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,679
bit low. But that's it.
So I don't know. It's probably because

635
00:40:10,679 --> 00:40:15,039
you're installing Starfield again. Blame that. Wow, you know it's almost done,

636
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:20,679
it says Hi Fi Rush. Reaching
three million players makes you very happy.

637
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,119
If we assume about half or a
million of those where purchases of the

638
00:40:23,159 --> 00:40:27,719
game. Is that good for new
IP and a relatively niche genre. Jeff,

639
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,199
My problem is I have no idea
yea idea, we don't make copies

640
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:36,159
sold. I have no idea if
three million people playing it is considered a

641
00:40:36,199 --> 00:40:37,920
good metric. It seems that seems
like a lot of people. That seems

642
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:42,079
like it should be good, But
I don't know. I hope so because

643
00:40:42,079 --> 00:40:45,639
I love that game, and I
hope that they get to either make a

644
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:51,960
sequel or something similarly creatively ambitious like
that. I'll say the only things that

645
00:40:52,119 --> 00:40:55,280
I know for a fact that when
it initially came out, it costs this

646
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:59,639
much, and it in terms of
revenue that it made from retail sales,

647
00:40:59,679 --> 00:41:02,920
it may less than that. And
I know that at the same time,

648
00:41:04,039 --> 00:41:07,599
Microsoft very very very happy with that
studio. They like that studio a lot,

649
00:41:07,679 --> 00:41:10,639
and they are reinvesting in it,
and they and they care a lot

650
00:41:10,679 --> 00:41:15,159
about that studio having a bright future. So take those things how you will.

651
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:19,239
To me, that sounds like,
regardless of how it's performed, you

652
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,440
know, just in terms of raw
numbers, they think that that that studio

653
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,039
is going to keep doing great things. There you go. That's it for

654
00:41:24,079 --> 00:41:29,039
the super Chats for now, mister
Grev, thank you very much. All

655
00:41:29,119 --> 00:41:30,760
Right, we'll take another quick break
and when we get back we'll get into

656
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,000
our big topic of the week,
which is going to be the best games

657
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,800
in nineteen ninety nine. I think
we have a little game to play and

658
00:41:37,039 --> 00:41:43,320
more. All right, we're back
and we have a Closest to the Messy

659
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,719
Pin. I understand it's volume thirteen. That means I have to hand the

660
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:51,679
show over to Turbo Shan Sean.
It's all yours, thank you very much.

661
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,360
That's right, ben while since we've
done one of these, but we

662
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:58,119
are back. The Closest to the
Messy Pin presented by Me, powered by

663
00:41:58,159 --> 00:42:02,840
Matt Craik, executively produce by Benji
Bup rules if you have forgotten is every

664
00:42:04,119 --> 00:42:07,840
round the boys will be given a
certified retro game that means older than ten

665
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:13,679
years goals to predict the game score
as it stands on metacract dot com.

666
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:19,599
We use a closest slippin scoring system, which means that for every point deviated

667
00:42:19,679 --> 00:42:22,920
away from the actual score you are, you will gain one point. It

668
00:42:22,039 --> 00:42:25,519
is golf rules, hence the golf
pun The goals to have the lowest score

669
00:42:25,559 --> 00:42:30,039
at the end of the game.
If you guess the exact number step zero,

670
00:42:30,199 --> 00:42:34,639
you will have five points produced from
your total score now once again,

671
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,679
it's been a while since we did
while. I'm just gonna flip a coin

672
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:42,920
to see who goes first because I
remember possibly and let's see that would be

673
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:50,800
Jeff will be picking first. So, gentlemen, the first game is Batman

674
00:42:51,039 --> 00:42:57,039
Begins for a Nintendo gamecue at least
June fourteenth, two, five thirty eight

675
00:42:57,159 --> 00:43:00,480
quick reviews make up the score.
Jeff, how you feeling about this one?

676
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:09,760
I am feeling pretty bad because it
could be such a wide number of

677
00:43:10,079 --> 00:43:13,719
choices. I'm gonna go with the
seventy. I think it's a seventy.

678
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,079
It's bad. It's not good,
but it's also not nearly as bad as

679
00:43:16,199 --> 00:43:20,320
Dark Tomorrow. So I'm gonna go
with the seventy. That's also not a

680
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,039
bad score. What is this?
I mean, I think, okay,

681
00:43:24,039 --> 00:43:31,239
I kind of think it's back I
wasn't you were just an inch of your

682
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:35,679
daddy's crotch. Yeah you know now, listen, I may have only been

683
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,400
in middle school, but I was
reading Nintendo Power God damn it. Yeah,

684
00:43:38,519 --> 00:43:42,719
I think it's a bad score.
Back then. I looked up these

685
00:43:43,039 --> 00:43:45,280
Medacritic scores. Actually, when I
was looking at the Batman games for Jeff,

686
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,559
I don't know, and I remember
some one was a little but nozzle

687
00:43:47,599 --> 00:43:51,280
as it would have thought. But
still I think it was maybe worse than

688
00:43:51,519 --> 00:43:58,599
I'm gonna say sixty eight an atrocious
score trailer, Yeah, honestly, yeah

689
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,400
shot. Back then, nobody considered
any games that were in the sixties absolutely

690
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:05,679
to be clear still today. Yeah, no, I remember, because I

691
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,480
was very salty that everyone Nintendo Power
Game, Mega Man Bow Network six,

692
00:44:08,639 --> 00:44:12,360
like sixes out of tends. They
were like, it's the worst fucking game

693
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,280
of all time. I'm like,
something done that up here? All right?

694
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:23,280
Anyways, Batman begins scaring licin at
a sixties six. Okay, so

695
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:28,239
Mike was a little bit closer there
by two points. I'll like it,

696
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:34,440
of course you do. Game number
two is going to be Batman Beyond Return

697
00:44:34,519 --> 00:44:38,800
to the Joker for the Nintendo sixty
four release date December thirteenth, two thousand,

698
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:45,519
only five critic reviews to work with
here, Mike, I think this

699
00:44:45,639 --> 00:44:51,920
game is supposed to be pretty bad. Uh, It's not as like infamously

700
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:57,079
bad as like Supermans ety four,
though, I'll go with a fifty right

701
00:44:57,119 --> 00:45:00,920
in the middle. All right,
Yeah, I it's only five. I

702
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:04,639
wonder if people only reviewed it because
they hated it and thought it would be

703
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:08,199
funny. I don't know. I
think I'm gonna go higher, which I

704
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:14,440
Paul probably end up regretting. I'm
gonna go with fifty five. Okay,

705
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:22,199
Batman beyond Return of the Joker,
the classic is in that a twenty four

706
00:45:22,119 --> 00:45:27,840
Imatra dot Com I said, the
lowest we've ever had. Oh my god,

707
00:45:28,679 --> 00:45:34,320
it might be. It might be
backgroup may return every day. No,

708
00:45:35,119 --> 00:45:38,960
put the cape and call back on
and good god. Alright, shit

709
00:45:40,039 --> 00:45:45,079
this all uphill from here. I
hope as you go into game number three,

710
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:50,119
Batman Arkham City, surely this one
is a bit better than twenty four.

711
00:45:50,559 --> 00:45:54,400
The PlayStation three versions, specifically October
eighteenth, twenty eleven, forty two

712
00:45:54,440 --> 00:46:02,360
quick reviews. Jeff, I M
going to say that this game got a

713
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:07,519
ninety two. I think it was
very highly reviewed. That's step feels right,

714
00:46:07,599 --> 00:46:10,039
but I don't. I don't know
for sure. Alright, ninety two

715
00:46:10,079 --> 00:46:15,639
finally answer yes, all right,
mikey, Yeah, this game was very

716
00:46:15,679 --> 00:46:17,960
well reviewed. I'm just gonna help. Maybe the PlayStation three version did a

717
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,440
little worse, because PlayStation three versions
often were a little worse I'll say ninety

718
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:29,400
one, alright, ninety one.
I'm surprised he didn't go for one hundred.

719
00:46:29,559 --> 00:46:32,159
Is the ten out of ten edition? After all? Right? That's

720
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:39,079
right, all right, well,
Arkham City currently senets ninety six. It

721
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:45,480
was on the high end, man, you're called there, jeff Man ninety

722
00:46:45,679 --> 00:46:50,960
six. That's really Good's Tears of
the Kingdom and boters Gate three now right?

723
00:46:51,079 --> 00:46:52,519
Yeah? Oh did baters Gate three
get down to ninety six? That's

724
00:46:52,679 --> 00:46:55,519
yeah, I think euro Gamer some
but he finally gave it like an okay

725
00:46:55,639 --> 00:46:59,679
review score finally, yeah, right, like a four out of five stars

726
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:04,400
there. Yeah, people are very
upset. Well, hey, four five

727
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:08,320
that that's mac rex fault. That's
not in though. Game number four Lego

728
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:14,480
Batman the Video Game Xbox three,
sixty September twenty third, two thousand and

729
00:47:14,519 --> 00:47:16,599
eight, forty nine Craig review.
There's quite a few there for a silly

730
00:47:16,679 --> 00:47:21,760
earlier game there for online reviews.
Mikey, how are you feeling? It's

731
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,000
just still relatively early on in the
Everything's a Lego game freezing a little not

732
00:47:25,119 --> 00:47:29,960
sad early on, still pretty early
on. I think people didn't like this

733
00:47:30,039 --> 00:47:36,280
one, if not spectacularly so.
I'm gonna say in eighty three. Okay,

734
00:47:39,559 --> 00:47:45,360
Yeah, it's so hard to depin
these ones down. I think I

735
00:47:45,519 --> 00:47:49,679
can't go higher than an eighty three, and I was already kind of leaning

736
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:53,719
towards like a seventy eight. So
I think I'll just go one down,

737
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,519
one more to see if I can
catch up to Mike and say seventy seven.

738
00:47:58,559 --> 00:48:01,480
Okay, hope, hope, hope, hope for the best. All

739
00:48:01,599 --> 00:48:06,840
right, Well, the first Lego
Batman, unless I'm somehow mistaken, there

740
00:48:07,159 --> 00:48:15,760
has a seventy six close there,
Jeff close Man. All right. That

741
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:19,079
makes it interesting though, because Mike
was quite a bit off there, which

742
00:48:19,159 --> 00:48:22,679
means I hang into the final game, the boys are tied at forty points.

743
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:31,119
Apiece Game number five is Lego Batman
DC Superheroes. But here's a twist.

744
00:48:31,639 --> 00:48:38,519
The iOS version the least April twin
thirteen twelve Creek reviews Jesus Christ,

745
00:48:40,079 --> 00:48:44,519
Uh, let me go again.
I go get my dartboard out real quick.

746
00:48:46,079 --> 00:48:57,800
Let's say, man, I'm gonna
say in eighty okay, solid score.

747
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:02,119
I played that game at e three. I'm gonna say a seventy nine.

748
00:49:06,519 --> 00:49:10,119
Shit, I never read it,
but mister Bob I suppose we don't

749
00:49:10,159 --> 00:49:14,159
prices right in the rules, and
I just love it when you guys do

750
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,960
it this. That's what you need
to do here. Yet, this is

751
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:24,000
the one situation we have too well, is it in the eighties or above

752
00:49:24,079 --> 00:49:28,840
or isn't the seventies and below?
Who's gonna get here? The correct answer

753
00:49:29,079 --> 00:49:38,960
is that is on the right side
of history. Their final score Mike forty

754
00:49:39,039 --> 00:49:45,840
to Jeff forty one of five reviews
from these stupid mobile game sites. Damn

755
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:50,920
it, I am the night still. This was this is This was one

756
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,400
week off since we had a busy
week last week, but this was made

757
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:59,800
in celebration of the finale of bat
grub Over on giant bomb dot com.

758
00:50:00,119 --> 00:50:01,400
Make sure to go watch that area. Thank you so much, a lot

759
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:05,760
of fun. Thank you. It's
so close. We had no idea what

760
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:13,320
the scores goes. Thank you,
Sean. I appreciate that. All right,

761
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:19,320
We are going to move on now
to nineteen ninety nine. Party like

762
00:50:19,519 --> 00:50:23,159
it's nineteen nine nine real quick.
Can't get mine in here before I go

763
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:27,159
Yeah, definitely, yea, because
I'm gonna be fixing this these cameras and

764
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,440
he has to go ahead, all
right, perfect one that I think I

765
00:50:30,559 --> 00:50:34,800
need to bring up right away.
Mike. Yeah, Street Fire three,

766
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,800
third story. I came out of
ninety nine, So I need to get

767
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,840
that out ahead of any of these
are ones, because there's there's a few

768
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:44,599
bangers in ninety nine. Not as
good as ninety eight, not by a

769
00:50:44,679 --> 00:50:47,239
long shot, but I need to
make sure that we get that representation in

770
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:52,519
there. That's Hey, that's a
very good video. That was your guys

771
00:50:52,639 --> 00:50:55,320
is number one fighting video game,
was it not. That's the best funny

772
00:50:55,360 --> 00:51:00,719
game ever. Yeah, we like
the most at least important to know that.

773
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:05,199
Okay, uh yeah, you guys
did a good tribe because did a

774
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:09,320
good ranking of fighters. Let's see
here, nineteen and nine, coming off

775
00:51:09,519 --> 00:51:14,000
one of the best years ever,
was still very very strong year, not

776
00:51:14,159 --> 00:51:17,280
nearly as strong as nineteen ninety eight. I looked at this, I have

777
00:51:17,519 --> 00:51:21,039
some thoughts about what can be in
there, but I'm interested to here,

778
00:51:21,119 --> 00:51:25,679
Like where you go first? Mike, Huh, well, uh, first,

779
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:30,079
I think I'm actually gonna go Soul
Caliber because I think when I think

780
00:51:30,119 --> 00:51:35,559
of nineteen ninety nine, I think
of the Dreamcast and the incredible launch in

781
00:51:35,599 --> 00:51:37,840
the US, and the incredible launch
lineup, A lot of good games,

782
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:44,239
but Soul Caliber still stands out as
one of the old time great launch games

783
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:46,760
ever. I mean that was just
you know, it was for so long

784
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:51,920
we were chasing as good as Arcade, So Caliber on Dreamcast was better than

785
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:53,800
the Arcade much It was better.
It was much better. Yes, it

786
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:58,960
was gorgeous, It was silky smooth, and it was robust. It had

787
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:04,480
some like really fun single player modes. Just felt so good to play that

788
00:52:04,599 --> 00:52:08,320
game. Soul Caliber was incredible.
It was it was revolutionary. Yep,

789
00:52:08,639 --> 00:52:12,480
it was going to be my number
one pick as well, Mike, Soul

790
00:52:12,639 --> 00:52:20,440
Caliber is so playable, so instantly
fun, so gorgeous. Uh. Just

791
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:28,599
it's just an incredible video game.
But from uh, it's a good game,

792
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:30,480
is what I was saying. Sorry
about that, everybody I muted the

793
00:52:30,519 --> 00:52:36,519
wrong bus? Uh that that one
was on me. I was about what's

794
00:52:36,559 --> 00:52:38,360
going on? That was just you
do? That was just human That one

795
00:52:38,519 --> 00:52:43,920
was definitely human air. Yeah,
Soul Caliber is an incredible game. It

796
00:52:44,119 --> 00:52:49,400
is what was gonna be my first
choice as well. It was for that

797
00:52:49,519 --> 00:52:52,480
time, just stunning, like you
hadn't seen anything like that at home before,

798
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:57,639
and especially one that played so smoothly. Uh, and looked so good

799
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:01,440
and that was so instantly fun and
a reason to get a Dreamcast all by

800
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:07,119
itself. It's just an incredible video
game. So yeah, Soul caliber definitely

801
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:12,119
up there for me. I really
love that game. I will get the

802
00:53:12,159 --> 00:53:16,079
list up here for a video watchers
here in a second. There are a

803
00:53:16,159 --> 00:53:19,599
couple I think I might just start
listening off that. I'm not sure we're

804
00:53:19,599 --> 00:53:22,880
going to make it that I like. I really like Homeworld. I like

805
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:27,159
that game a whole lot, like
a three D strategy game, and not

806
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,719
three D as in like, oh, it's got three D graphics, as

807
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:34,519
in like you can move in all
directions because it's space and that and having

808
00:53:34,559 --> 00:53:37,280
these units move around. They really
figured out how to make that fun and

809
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,119
work. It's one of the one
of the better P like early PC real

810
00:53:40,159 --> 00:53:44,559
time strategy games that you just couldn't
do that anywhere else. You needed a

811
00:53:44,639 --> 00:53:49,000
PC for it. And it's got
this really great sci fi look and feel,

812
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,719
but it was like kind of spartan
because it's like it has lots of

813
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,840
like these spaceships out in space and
early for early three D PC graphics,

814
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:59,760
but they had a lot of style
added on top of it, so I

815
00:54:00,039 --> 00:54:04,400
really like Homeworld a lot. Brother
consider ones. My brother AJ played Homeworld,

816
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:06,880
and I was always a little intimidate
by it. I wish i'd played

817
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,079
myself. I definitely like, even
since, like I'm playing it back then,

818
00:54:10,519 --> 00:54:13,639
like going back to it, I've
been a little intimidated. Actually,

819
00:54:13,639 --> 00:54:16,679
even though I've enjoyed it a lot
at the time, I don't. There's

820
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:21,079
just done a lot of obvious ones
this year, Mike that I think there's

821
00:54:21,119 --> 00:54:23,639
a couple more. The first Tony
X pro Skater Jeff came out in nineteen

822
00:54:23,679 --> 00:54:27,119
nine. Yeah, I mean,
that's definitely the other one for me,

823
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:31,880
right, and it's like my only
hesitation is that they're they're even better sequels

824
00:54:32,159 --> 00:54:37,079
for sure. But this first game
was still it was really really cool.

825
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:40,039
It was still yeah big, you
know, I almost had like what I'm

826
00:54:40,039 --> 00:54:44,400
experienced with bolters Gate now or even
Pickman, like this thing I thought I

827
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:47,159
wouldn't care about. When Tonyx pro
Skater came out, it through it caught

828
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:50,880
everybody by surprise. Everyone you were
caught in it. Yeah, no,

829
00:54:51,039 --> 00:54:52,400
everybody was like, oh, a
skateboarding game. I think we were all

830
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,920
like whatever, and then was like
it's really good. So I think everybody

831
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,480
eventually just kind of rented it and
was like, oh, oh man,

832
00:55:00,159 --> 00:55:06,280
this is awesome. This is like
the best feeling thing ever. And yeah,

833
00:55:06,519 --> 00:55:08,079
like I don't know, it's like
everybody became into an next pro skater

834
00:55:08,159 --> 00:55:12,199
fan. You could see why we
had yearly releases of that for a good

835
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:15,199
while. Yeah, I was.
I think I was probably working one of

836
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:19,519
my first jobs a little bit after
it came out. But it was just

837
00:55:19,599 --> 00:55:22,119
like, man, I would just
talk to people and like they wouldn't a

838
00:55:22,159 --> 00:55:23,119
lot of people you would. I
would work with me, Like I don't

839
00:55:23,119 --> 00:55:25,800
play any games, but I do
play Tony Hawk. Tony Hawk was like

840
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:30,519
that game back then. It was
kind of like the original Call of Duty

841
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:34,239
in a lot of ways, and
it did a lot for skateboarding. It

842
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:37,199
was it was so it's like hard
to say how big it was because it's

843
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:39,880
like you could try to put it
into words, but like unless you were

844
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:44,920
there, it's hard to feel the
power it had to make skateboarding popular,

845
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,360
to make ska something and a lot
of these lives they hadn't heard before.

846
00:55:49,559 --> 00:55:52,760
And the game itself just played immediately. It played really great, and it

847
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,880
was like the things that we're missing
were uh, you know, the manual,

848
00:55:55,960 --> 00:56:00,440
the ways to string the combo system
together, which would become super important

849
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:04,320
to the series obviously, but everything
else was already there. Yeah, the

850
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:07,519
look, the feel burn Quest,
yeah, Bob Burnquist, Yes, the

851
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:12,559
christ Air, Rudin Glifberg doing the
christ Air, all that stuff. It's

852
00:56:12,599 --> 00:56:15,320
just uh, it's it's a kind
of one of my favorite games of all

853
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:20,280
time and Tony's pers Skater or favorite
series of all time. The tonicspers Skater

854
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:22,559
was so good right away that I
feel like, yeah, probably does make

855
00:56:22,599 --> 00:56:25,679
this list. All right. There's
two big racing games, Jeff, and

856
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:30,519
one of them is grint Urismo too. It was like it was like the

857
00:56:30,559 --> 00:56:35,039
best selling place one game or like
one of them incredibly ambitious, just ridiculous

858
00:56:35,079 --> 00:56:37,880
what that game was able to do
in the place of one. But the

859
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:43,280
other one is Ridge Racer Type four, and that's not as robust or as

860
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:47,039
technologically impressive as game as Grinters with
two is. But I'll take Ridge Racer

861
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:52,320
for sort of league style and aesthetics, and it feels so good. I'm

862
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:57,800
always going to prefer something a bit
more arcady, yeah, than the Super

863
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,360
Simu even, you know, but
it four is yeah, it's our Katie.

864
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:04,239
But it's not like you know,
you're you're you're playing out Run or

865
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:07,559
Mario Kard just something all of a
sudden. It's still cars. It's just

866
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:09,280
very drift heavy, and I like
the drifting in it a lot. But

867
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:14,519
one of the best soundtracks of all
time. One of the best looking PlayStation

868
00:57:14,639 --> 00:57:16,920
one games. Like Nope, I
don't think any other game. There's a

869
00:57:17,039 --> 00:57:21,480
few, but I can't think of
too many other games that look better as

870
00:57:21,519 --> 00:57:25,559
a PlayStation one game than Ride Rasser
Type four. Yeah, I will add

871
00:57:25,599 --> 00:57:30,599
a third racing game that just for
consideration, a Beatle Adventure Racing is one

872
00:57:30,599 --> 00:57:32,199
of the best racing games on a
platform that had a lot of good racing

873
00:57:32,239 --> 00:57:37,599
games, the sixty four. It
might it might actually be the best racing

874
00:57:37,639 --> 00:57:40,920
game on that system. And really
it came down to a really good course

875
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:45,800
design and a good sense of speed. Like it was always such a weird

876
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:50,400
thing that this game that's like a
licensed game for the new Beatle from Volkswagen,

877
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:52,960
which was a big deal in the
nineties, to be fair, when

878
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,920
that came back, But it was
like such a weird thing. And then

879
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:59,239
you play the game, and you're
playing the courses, and it's just like

880
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:02,719
there's so much fun because they make
the shortcuts really obvious once you're past them.

881
00:58:04,119 --> 00:58:07,440
See the first lap, you're like
driving really fast and it feels really

882
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,360
good and you're like learning the course. But the men you're like, oh,

883
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:12,760
there's an obvious shortcut right there,
but I can't get it right now,

884
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:14,960
So I'll get it on the second
time. And then the second time

885
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:16,400
you kind of half get it,
and then the third time you perfect it.

886
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:19,519
And that was like every course was
like that, and they always had

887
00:58:19,679 --> 00:58:22,719
like three or four of these shortcuts, and it felt so good and so

888
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,719
cool, and eventually like you're getting
great times because you're doing the shortcuts perfectly

889
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:30,480
on all three laps. But it's
just like really figured out a niche for

890
00:58:30,519 --> 00:58:35,840
itself. I'm probably not gonna play, but boy, I really really like

891
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,599
Beatle Adventure Racing. It's not as
good as rad Racer Type four, but

892
00:58:38,719 --> 00:58:44,639
it's it's in. It's it hangs
right behind that. Only to talk about

893
00:58:44,679 --> 00:58:47,960
some RPGs that came out this year. Yeah, I mean Final Fantasy eight

894
00:58:49,039 --> 00:58:51,719
came out. I don't know where
you I can't remember. I know you're

895
00:58:51,719 --> 00:58:54,119
a nine guy, but I don't
know eight Okay, you like it,

896
00:58:54,159 --> 00:58:58,440
and a lot of people come around
fompancy. I don't think it's good enough

897
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:00,920
to be a top five game of
the year. It has it does a

898
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:04,840
lot of really cool things, mostly
in the presentation. The presentation was just

899
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:08,119
ridiculous. You can literally see the
final Fantasy seven money just kind of being

900
00:59:08,239 --> 00:59:13,000
dumped into found Fantasy Gate. So
it was really cool for that. Some

901
00:59:13,159 --> 00:59:15,679
of it's mechanics, I mean,
some of it was just interesting. The

902
00:59:15,719 --> 00:59:17,840
whole draw system and the junction system. I know it throws some people off

903
00:59:19,199 --> 00:59:22,320
that. I like. The level
of scaling is really weird. The game

904
00:59:22,679 --> 00:59:28,199
actually rewards you for not leveling up
the way it where you actually want to

905
00:59:28,239 --> 00:59:31,880
get into as as few random battles
as possible. So it's a little jankie

906
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:36,239
in that front, little jakie just
in places. I still like from Missate

907
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:38,840
a lot. I don't think it's
going to be on this list. Corona

908
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:45,039
Cross similar presentation, insanely good.
Not really one of my favorites. I

909
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,000
respect it though, like it,
but it's not top five. The best

910
00:59:47,079 --> 00:59:52,039
JRPG of this year is actually Sweeted
Into, which did come out in the

911
00:59:52,159 --> 00:59:59,480
US right in nineteen ninety nine.
This is a real JRPG fans JRP right,

912
00:59:59,639 --> 01:00:02,280
this is the one I hear people
like Jason Tryer, like mentioned,

913
01:00:02,519 --> 01:00:06,559
people who love JRPGs. This is
their game, right, you know,

914
01:00:06,599 --> 01:00:08,639
because it's you know, it's still
like the it's pixel so something you know.

915
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:13,159
Back then, it kind of flew
under the radar a bit, but

916
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,960
it's a really pure JPG. It
has the really fun swicketing system where you

917
01:00:16,039 --> 01:00:21,280
have to recruit one hundred and eight
I believe characters to join your sort of

918
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:23,920
castle, and your castle gets bigger
and gets new functions as you do that.

919
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:27,519
And a lot of those people are
party members, not all of them.

920
01:00:27,599 --> 01:00:30,440
Sometimes you unlock a person and they're
going to open up a shop where

921
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:32,440
they're gonna like become your quick travel
person or things like that, but a

922
01:00:32,519 --> 01:00:36,760
lot of those are party members.
So it's insane. There's so many characters

923
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:38,440
you can play us here, so
we get two also definitely has one of

924
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:43,599
the best JRPG stories. It's just
a really interesting plot, a lot of

925
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:50,000
political intrigue, but still very character
grounded with interesting twist. Just one of

926
01:00:50,039 --> 01:00:54,440
the most despicable unlikable villains ever,
very very Mermal game. Everybody who plays

927
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:59,360
swickt Into, I think has a
really good time with it and it's something

928
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:05,840
that sticks with them. Yeah,
I'm pretty convinced by Sweaking Into. Can

929
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:10,239
I ask you getting kind of like
just tangentially related to RPG's Shin Move.

930
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:15,360
Are you a Shin Move person?
I mean, I Simmu was really cool

931
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:17,400
at the time, and I probably
would sell if I'm going back to it.

932
01:01:17,519 --> 01:01:22,880
I think because there's certain things about
she I hate to say games age,

933
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:24,760
you know that, but there's somethings
about Shimmy that probably don't hold up

934
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:29,199
like they used to. I don't
think chen Moo needs to be considered at

935
01:01:29,199 --> 01:01:30,480
the time. At the time,
for me, it was like it was

936
01:01:30,519 --> 01:01:36,119
a curiosity and really interesting and sort
of a promise of what was to come.

937
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:38,079
But even at the time, I'm
like this, there's not a lot

938
01:01:38,119 --> 01:01:42,559
of fun here, and they don't
seem very interested in providing that. You

939
01:01:42,639 --> 01:01:45,119
know, Ever, Quest was in
nineteen ninety nine very important game. I

940
01:01:45,159 --> 01:01:51,440
don't know, Yeah, it's I
think it's important, and maybe that is

941
01:01:51,559 --> 01:01:52,440
enough to get it in the top
five, dependon like where we're at.

942
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,639
I think there's probably already enough games
to push it out. But if like

943
01:01:55,760 --> 01:02:00,519
we mentioned, like for example,
I think this is the year that Strike

944
01:02:00,599 --> 01:02:05,440
as a half half life mod came
out, which I think we would probably

945
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:09,360
count that as like the release of
counter Strike because because it's always it's always

946
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:15,320
been, you know Wikipedia, it's
uh oh gosh, you're right. It's

947
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:20,360
confusing because like two thousands when it
had like it's boxed windows right, but

948
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:22,519
it was almost right. It was
a mode that way, it was still

949
01:02:22,559 --> 01:02:25,079
that, it was still the mod
when it came out as the box Windows

950
01:02:25,119 --> 01:02:30,599
release basically, So I don't know, how do you want to come backs

951
01:02:30,639 --> 01:02:32,639
consider it? Let's put kind of
Strike up there for now. That's definitely

952
01:02:32,639 --> 01:02:36,599
because I mean, I didn't even
think about Tvorgeous Classic in nineteen Night would

953
01:02:36,639 --> 01:02:39,880
have really played because there's there's a
ton happening, right, It's on Mike's

954
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:43,800
favorite for sure. Man Never Request
though definitely has one of the top five

955
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:49,719
two tops in a gaming history.
Good for that, lady. Uh see,

956
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:54,960
look, everyone I do like boobs
God Sean guy got a clean one

957
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:59,800
of that. Christian Please, let's
let's go. Okay, let's give it

958
01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:04,400
up to Street Fighter three. Third
Strike now the probably my favorite fighting game.

959
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:06,920
Ever, certainly the best two D
fighting game. Well. I have

960
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:09,159
a soft pot for Marvel's Capcom two
also, which will be coming up.

961
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:16,000
But Third Strike is still just so
mechanically pure. I think untouched until we

962
01:03:16,199 --> 01:03:22,440
had six this year. Shout outs
to Garu where Wolves in London also,

963
01:03:22,559 --> 01:03:24,639
But it's it's I like it so
much because it does kind of feel like

964
01:03:24,719 --> 01:03:29,559
the bizarro world Third Strike from the
SNK side, but Third Strike is really

965
01:03:30,039 --> 01:03:35,960
where it is at. I never
played Planescape Tournament, Like, yeah,

966
01:03:36,119 --> 01:03:38,000
I started it. I wish I
did. It's I wish I did too.

967
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:42,199
One of the best rated games this
time. And it's weird because people

968
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:45,360
don't talk about Planescape Torment. There
was a it was like twelve years ago

969
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:49,320
when I would hear people talking about
it and then that he did go away.

970
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:51,199
But I know people still love it. That's not the same. People

971
01:03:51,199 --> 01:03:54,760
don't love it. They do yeah, and other kind of PC game big

972
01:03:54,920 --> 01:04:00,480
hit here. System Shock two was
nineteen nineteen nine. I keep wanting to

973
01:04:00,599 --> 01:04:03,679
go back to this. Uh.
It's a really cool game. It was

974
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:08,800
one of the first games to really
Uh it's a great the RPG and the

975
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:12,119
whrror thing. Even though this is
the single system Shock one. This is

976
01:04:12,199 --> 01:04:15,360
the one that is the BioShock team
basically, like, these are the people

977
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:20,360
are going to make BioShock Irrational games
at the time, and it was,

978
01:04:20,599 --> 01:04:24,079
you know, really really cool stuff. It was like kind of almost like

979
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:29,239
an evolution of Half Life, like
going even further into the environmental storytelling and

980
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:31,719
then adding stuff like the RPG mechanics. It was a big deal. Yeah,

981
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:36,199
I didn't. I haven't really played
a lot of systems Shock two.

982
01:04:36,599 --> 01:04:40,639
I have played some of it,
but it's just not enough to like get

983
01:04:40,679 --> 01:04:43,639
it on this list in any strong
way. But I know people love it,

984
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:46,360
so I know you have played in
it. You're not actually much of

985
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:51,000
a fan of this one, I
think. But Legacy of King's Soul Reverse,

986
01:04:51,119 --> 01:04:56,599
Oh yes, definitely. Yeah,
seen nineteen nine. I tried it.

987
01:04:56,679 --> 01:04:58,960
It's I mean, I tried it
recently and it did not hold up

988
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,960
for me. You know, maybe
I would have got past past the level

989
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,360
I was on and maybe it opens
up in some way and gets a lot

990
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:08,760
better, but early on that game
is pretty rough. So yeah, I

991
01:05:09,079 --> 01:05:12,039
don't know. Are you a fan
of Soul Reaver? I don't have any

992
01:05:12,119 --> 01:05:14,639
I don't hold up particularly long Torch
for it. I played a bit of

993
01:05:14,679 --> 01:05:17,360
it back in the day. Something
I would like to go back and play

994
01:05:17,519 --> 01:05:21,320
at some point, but right now
I don't fee anything great about it.

995
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:25,519
H I'm sorry. I don't mean
to keep going. If you want to

996
01:05:25,519 --> 01:05:30,119
say something. I was just gonna
say Major's Mask nine. I felt that

997
01:05:30,199 --> 01:05:31,480
was how to be two thousand at
least maybe that was ninety nine in Japan.

998
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:35,719
U double check on that's I think
it's two thousand even in Japan.

999
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:39,800
Actually two thousands everywhere. Okay,
say, okay, cool, all right.

1000
01:05:40,559 --> 01:05:43,679
I don't want you Jorge's Mask fans
to get too excited because I like

1001
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:45,519
Jorge's Mask, but I'd like it
too. I enjoyed. I enjoyed playing

1002
01:05:45,559 --> 01:05:49,880
that game. Yeah, uh,
did Super Smash Brothers come out in nineteen

1003
01:05:50,039 --> 01:05:54,760
Super Smash Bars one did come out
in nineteen ninety nine, and I wouldn't

1004
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:58,639
really consider it. Yeah, it's
a fun party game at one time.

1005
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:02,159
Yes, it, it gets so
much better with Melee Smash Purs one is

1006
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:04,519
very fun. I enjoy it,
but it's not. It wouldn't have been

1007
01:06:04,599 --> 01:06:09,599
my game of the year that year, or looking back, the same h

1008
01:06:10,119 --> 01:06:13,440
Age of Empires two game. I
never really played. Oh really, oh,

1009
01:06:13,519 --> 01:06:17,199
Age of a Pires two rules?
Actually, okay, it's a gosh

1010
01:06:17,239 --> 01:06:19,000
still probably one of my favorite art
teas. I know, I say,

1011
01:06:19,039 --> 01:06:23,960
I'm not much on RTS guy,
but Age of Apires two is definitely one

1012
01:06:24,039 --> 01:06:27,400
of the best. If I was
to go back and play one, still,

1013
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:30,119
I kind of would want to play
Age of Empires two. I keep

1014
01:06:30,159 --> 01:06:33,519
meaning to try out the definitive version
that they made Matuango No. Age of

1015
01:06:33,519 --> 01:06:39,440
Empires too. Really really cool game, really fun. When did ape Escape

1016
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:43,840
come out? Oh my god,
ape Escape, let's see ape see if

1017
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:47,599
it's in here Escape? I believe
ape Escape was in fact nineteen ninety nine.

1018
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,480
I like that. Then, I
do like that game. I don't

1019
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:54,280
know if I love it. If
I love it either, I would love

1020
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:56,719
them to make a new one.
I say that I definitely would. I

1021
01:06:56,800 --> 01:07:00,400
definitely would. I think it would
really play these days. But a little

1022
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:09,039
chance of that. Pokemon Snap Nope, Mario Golf nope he Unreal Tournament.

1023
01:07:09,679 --> 01:07:13,920
Unreal Tournament is actually pretty interesting.
Yeah, yeah, I mean, I

1024
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:15,760
don't really know if I think that
highly. I liked Unreal Tournament though,

1025
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:20,079
but the sequels ay still confusing.
I think Unreal Tournament two thousand and three

1026
01:07:20,239 --> 01:07:24,320
was one I really really liked,
but a real tournament was fun. It

1027
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:26,639
was like a guy. It was
the whole thing. Then because Quick didn't

1028
01:07:26,679 --> 01:07:29,280
quake, it was Quack three also
this year because I thought Quake three and

1029
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:33,280
unreal tournament came out very quake three
area. Yeah it was out this year.

1030
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:36,119
Yes, Okay, that's right.
I remember. It's like a showdown

1031
01:07:36,119 --> 01:07:41,880
because we never really had these before, like oh multiplayer, oh the remember

1032
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:44,039
it was like almost a bit of
a skindal, like you mean you're not

1033
01:07:44,159 --> 01:07:48,159
getting a single player campaign game backs
only on multi what are you man?

1034
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:53,719
Back then? For real? That
would have been yeah. Yeah, but

1035
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:56,719
they were both. They were both
good in different ways. I don't know

1036
01:07:56,719 --> 01:08:00,320
if either of them are going to
quite jump up a little right here?

1037
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:03,360
That can I put my darling that. I don't know if it makes it,

1038
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:05,840
but I would in me. It's
easily in the top five. It's

1039
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:11,760
excite by sixty four. Yeah,
you could put it. Yeah, I

1040
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:14,719
mean, I hate God, I
hate I don't. I don't mean to

1041
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:16,640
be dismissive of it, yeah,
because because I mean it truly is.

1042
01:08:17,159 --> 01:08:24,479
It's it's one of those technical In
sixty four extreme sports games that is surprisingly

1043
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:29,960
deep and really good. Uh,
it's you know, it's my favorite Excite

1044
01:08:30,319 --> 01:08:34,079
franchise game. I get it though. It's it's just it is like,

1045
01:08:34,359 --> 01:08:40,600
oh, surprisingly great, like eighty
nine out of one hundred, eighty eight

1046
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:44,319
out of one hundred sort of game. And if you like, if you

1047
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:46,319
you kind of meet where we're like
a lot of people go to these games

1048
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:49,600
expect our Katie fun and expect By
sixty four is not so it's very sim

1049
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:54,239
simulation heavy. Uh. And then
boy, it feels like all those games

1050
01:08:54,319 --> 01:08:58,479
on the N sixty four. Uh, it's physics are so much better than

1051
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:00,319
anything else that is happening at the
time. And for me, that's always

1052
01:09:00,359 --> 01:09:04,000
going to be actually priority number one. The games have you have good physics

1053
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:08,560
systems if I'm moving around in three
D space and so I'm always gonna have

1054
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:12,560
a torch trick except By sixty four. But there are a lot of games

1055
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:15,840
on this list now, so we'll
see shout out the Sonic Adventure. I

1056
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:18,000
know I can't put you up here, buddy, but I still love you.

1057
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:24,600
Yes, okay. I like Gauntlet
Legends, not gonna make it.

1058
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:28,319
Yeah. I like Marley CARVERSM sixty
four not gonna make it. Maybe it's

1059
01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:30,680
now time we'll see what the community
thinks. Well more, Donkey Kong Country

1060
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:33,319
sixty Donkey Kong sixty four can go
to hell. There we go. That's

1061
01:09:33,359 --> 01:09:39,640
just a little able to say no, no, nope. So right now,

1062
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:42,920
for nineteen ninety nine, we do
have a handful of games that I

1063
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:45,000
feel are pretty much locked. Soul
Caliber, Tony Ospur, Skater and Street

1064
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:49,399
Fighter three Third Strike. Just below
that, we have a Grand Trismo two,

1065
01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:53,600
Homeworld, Ridge Racer Type four,
Beatle Adventure Racing, Final, Fantasy

1066
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:57,359
eight, Sweak It into Ever Request, counter Strike, Age Empires two,

1067
01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:01,760
Unreal Tournament, Quake three, Arena
Excite sixty four. If you were allowed,

1068
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:04,279
if you just got to pick two, like if your favorites, like

1069
01:10:04,319 --> 01:10:08,960
we're not being thematic, which two
would you pick? I would buy?

1070
01:10:09,079 --> 01:10:12,159
I mean, it's insane, but
I'll just say it, well, yeah,

1071
01:10:12,159 --> 01:10:15,159
I would do rig Racer Type four
and Excite by sixty four. I

1072
01:10:15,239 --> 01:10:17,479
would do rag Racer Type four.
It's wicket it too. May should we

1073
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:20,600
just also put red Rayster Type four
up there already at this point, I

1074
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:26,399
think so yes, that's kind of
freaking I told you I got that that

1075
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:30,680
CD with the soundtrack I just bought
my car non Stipe. It's a really

1076
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:35,159
really good soundtrack. Yes, so
good. You know what, let's oh,

1077
01:10:35,359 --> 01:10:38,840
I love this pie face for you
two decent chat play Type four for

1078
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:42,199
the first time last night because of
you guys. It's gotta be there.

1079
01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:45,319
That game is beautiful. Yeah,
that's the thing with Red Drayscer Type four.

1080
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:47,920
It's not some beloved game from my
childhood. I played it on the

1081
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:51,439
PlayStation Classic because I was just checking
all the games out and I was like,

1082
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:57,319
what is this? This game absolutely
rules, and like I just played

1083
01:10:57,319 --> 01:10:59,640
it a ton on there and then
later just through a rom I was like,

1084
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:01,560
this is one of my favorite games
ever. Now I had no idea

1085
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:06,039
This PlayStation one racing game was so
good. Yep, the same same you

1086
01:11:06,159 --> 01:11:09,000
told me about it, and I've
played it a bunch of since and it's

1087
01:11:09,039 --> 01:11:13,840
just like, yep, this thing
it's so much fun? Uh? Is

1088
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:15,880
it? Is it? Counter Strike? Actually that needs to go up there.

1089
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:20,199
Maybe I would like to see I
would like to see what Discord says.

1090
01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:24,199
Yeah, okay, let's get to
the fans. See what they say.

1091
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:28,239
All right. This is from our
podcast producers Bopara watched too. This

1092
01:11:28,319 --> 01:11:30,039
feels like the most wide open race
so far. I agree with that,

1093
01:11:30,079 --> 01:11:34,760
which means Donkey Kong sixty four has
a chance. However, never had a

1094
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:40,600
chance. My serious answer will be
Age Vampires too. Uh yeah. Kuza

1095
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:43,600
Wolf says mediocre year for games in
general, So I'll submit a couple of

1096
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:45,680
games that all that will probably be
passed up. Crash Team Racing. I

1097
01:11:46,079 --> 01:11:49,680
do like Crash Team Racing quite a
bit. It's good, you know.

1098
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:54,159
I You know what I say about
Mario Kart. You could take to all

1099
01:11:54,239 --> 01:11:57,279
card racers. I like cart racers, but they're all like eight out of

1100
01:11:57,359 --> 01:11:59,720
tens. You're your men though.
You need a man's engine. We know

1101
01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:03,760
this. Yeah, you need one
that goes. Let's say you can't said,

1102
01:12:04,399 --> 01:12:08,680
well, you can't have a dinky
little Mario Kart engine. Those are

1103
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:11,359
too small for you. You need
something real. You're saying, I'm a

1104
01:12:11,399 --> 01:12:15,800
size king. Yes, exactly,
That's exactly what I'm saying. Also shot

1105
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:17,960
outs to the Spiro two's Ripto's Rage, the best spiral game and one of

1106
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:20,640
my personal favorite three D platforms.
That is a good game. It deserves

1107
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:29,039
mentioning. Uh mine Goblin, Uh
Mike, what's Mine Goblin, Mine Goblins.

1108
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:33,239
There's only one game from nineteen ninety
nine that featured Superman by Goldfinger on

1109
01:12:33,279 --> 01:12:38,800
the soundtrack. Tony Hawk's pro Skater, that's right, honorable mentions to Mario

1110
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:42,199
Golf game Boy Color version. Uh
shit, that's right. That is that

1111
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:45,840
God, that's so good. That's
a good version. Roller Coaster Tycoon as

1112
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:49,319
well. Tycoon two is where I'm
gonna really shout out that whole series.

1113
01:12:49,359 --> 01:12:53,640
That's where I really have my love. Miss Fio, says Pika Pica for

1114
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:59,079
Pokemon Snap. They made the new
one of those, didn't They called it

1115
01:12:59,239 --> 01:13:03,479
New Pokemons snapte. I hate when
it's called the new whatever. I hated

1116
01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:06,680
New Super Mario Bros. I hate
the new Nintendo three DS. I hate

1117
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:11,479
that Nami convention. That's not good. Yes, Uh, Pokemon Snap can

1118
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:15,239
go on the mount rushmore of games
that you rented. I think that's that's

1119
01:13:15,399 --> 01:13:17,319
where that belongs. That's the best
game I ever played where I got to

1120
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:23,359
print out stickers at a blockbuster.
Absolutely, Doctor Ryan says Mario Party Baby

1121
01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:28,279
Whoo fifty turns of destroying friendships,
nobody wins is Mario is Mario Party one?

1122
01:13:28,279 --> 01:13:30,880
Really? This year I like Mario
Party one. But I'm also still

1123
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:32,479
mad about the blisters I got on
the palm of my hand though, of

1124
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:35,840
course for again sharing me. Literally, I'm gonna keep your fault for not

1125
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:39,680
wearing the glove. Also, third
Strike please, yeah, no problem,

1126
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:43,760
doctor, Yeah, oh yeah,
third Strike. Bomer your Third Strike mains

1127
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:45,880
and chat everybody I wanted to know
for it, Boomer of the Watson Is.

1128
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:49,039
Nineteen ninety nine was the year of
the Dreamcast, and nothing screams nineteen

1129
01:13:49,119 --> 01:13:54,920
ninety nine more than Sonic Adventure.
The Bluebird finally goes polygonal again and was

1130
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:58,399
ready to kick butt and take names
with a rock and soundtrack. Yes,

1131
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:02,680
Sonic Adventure is is worthy of mentioning
and then not including on the lists or

1132
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:06,520
even the short list. But Sonic
Adventures is, Yeah, I don't know,

1133
01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:12,279
It's fine. I like Sonic back
then. Song Adventure meant the world

1134
01:14:12,399 --> 01:14:16,399
to me. I still like it. I also I also know it is

1135
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:19,960
jankie in a lot of ways.
It's still always going to hold a saucepot

1136
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:25,720
in my heart. Phlobotron says Age
Vampires two, Velocity Prime one says super

1137
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:30,119
Smash Brothers was an incredibly novel fighting
game Evo Janis says Final Fantasy eight gun

1138
01:14:30,279 --> 01:14:34,319
Sword enough said, Eden says,
nineteen ninety nine was an amazing year for

1139
01:14:34,359 --> 01:14:39,039
home consoles, but they never taught
the gamers how to dance. Shit Man

1140
01:14:39,159 --> 01:14:43,239
Good one DDR released in the US
arcades in March of nineteen ninety nine,

1141
01:14:43,319 --> 01:14:45,920
shattering far too many ankles in the
process. I would love to put DDR

1142
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:49,199
on this list, Mike. I
love Dance Dance Revolution so much. I

1143
01:14:49,359 --> 01:14:53,319
never liked I don't know, maybe
I'm the Maybe. I like a lot

1144
01:14:53,359 --> 01:14:56,560
of rhythm games. I never quite
rocked Dances Revolution, and I would always

1145
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:00,760
hate the home versions because I just
could never get that at to stay and

1146
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:04,920
play. So it felt really in
precise Can I shout out a couple games?

1147
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:09,079
I like a lot that had their
Nintendo sixty four versions of ninety nine,

1148
01:15:09,079 --> 01:15:12,159
and then they're better Dreamcast versions in
two thousands, so it's a little

1149
01:15:12,199 --> 01:15:15,680
weird. Sure placed them. But
Raymond to the Great Escape and Episode one

1150
01:15:16,119 --> 01:15:19,920
Racer both came out on nineteen ninety
nine. I think on the s sixty

1151
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:24,319
four then the better versions, yeah, but I mean later. It's not

1152
01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:27,359
like the n sixty four versions of
Bad It's great on the n sixty four.

1153
01:15:27,399 --> 01:15:29,279
Now it's still very good on there, but yeah, those are those

1154
01:15:29,279 --> 01:15:33,680
are very good games. Also,
Brightfish says, ever request Bench JCS,

1155
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:38,279
Crashes Out, Crash Team Racy,
and puts Super Smash Brothers Super Harmon.

1156
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:41,079
Looked over the list and it was
a little thin, but I really liked

1157
01:15:41,079 --> 01:15:45,640
Final Fantasy eight. Showed you Codo
Dreamcast time Baby for me, it's got

1158
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:50,920
to be so Caliber also mentioned Tony
Ox, pro skater U Casual says Sid

1159
01:15:51,039 --> 01:15:58,960
Meyers and and Antietam. Wait what
that's a game? Yeah there. He

1160
01:15:59,079 --> 01:16:01,960
also says it's a I'll toss up
between that and Harvestman sixty four. I

1161
01:16:02,079 --> 01:16:05,079
definitely remember hearing about this one.
But that's like, there's like other Sid

1162
01:16:05,159 --> 01:16:09,720
Meyers games that year, weren't there, There was Sid Myers. There's like

1163
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:12,239
a Sid Meyers Civil War game,
is what you're telling me? Yeah,

1164
01:16:12,439 --> 01:16:16,079
totally, but back then, but
he also did like Alpha Centauri that same

1165
01:16:16,159 --> 01:16:18,479
year. I think so, I
think you're right, Yeah, yeah,

1166
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:24,239
yeah, man, Okay, Sid
Meyer is busy, Alpha Centauri is this

1167
01:16:24,399 --> 01:16:29,119
year, okay. Ben Benji says, Asian empires with you. It's a

1168
01:16:29,239 --> 01:16:32,680
joke, Okay, it actually thinks, oh my god, it's a joke,

1169
01:16:33,039 --> 01:16:38,359
is it? Okay? Good guys, Hey he made a ton of

1170
01:16:38,399 --> 01:16:41,960
ship. Yeah he did. Absolutely, just thought that this was a real

1171
01:16:42,319 --> 01:16:45,520
What is the one that? Okay, he does have? Like another one

1172
01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:49,680
that's not Civilization, that's not Alpha
Centre, not not even it's a war

1173
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:55,560
game. It's a war game.
Colonies. Is that what I'm thinking of?

1174
01:16:55,640 --> 01:16:58,640
I'm maybe thinking of colonies? That
was what I was saying. Okay,

1175
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:05,520
it was like, it's real.
It is Wait a second that I

1176
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:11,520
could believe it either way. This
game Israel. It's Antina sounded familiar to

1177
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:15,079
me. I could have scored a
single to said Meyers Gettysburg. I like

1178
01:17:15,239 --> 01:17:18,359
how what I'm thinking of? I
like how even when it's a Gettysburg game,

1179
01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:21,199
it still has the exclamation mark at
the end, Like this is so

1180
01:17:21,399 --> 01:17:29,720
much fun. We're screaming the title
man Antina Gettysburg the day the most Americans

1181
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:33,199
ever died. Let's go man,
said Meyers. Gettysburg has a ninety two

1182
01:17:33,279 --> 01:17:38,520
Medacritic score. What are the best
games ever? Never heard of? Alright,

1183
01:17:39,199 --> 01:17:41,920
fantastic. I should go back and
play some of those. Uh,

1184
01:17:42,079 --> 01:17:48,520
let's see basketball, says Crash Team
Racing Neon Genesis. Evangelie says Final Fantasy

1185
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:53,760
eight drops Mike airhorns. Uh it. Also, I also like Silent Hill

1186
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:57,600
a lot, as you can see
from this awful picture of her. That's

1187
01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:00,439
that's great stuff. And also that's
a cool tattoo. I don't think me

1188
01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:03,319
and you're a huge Silent Hope people. We'll probably get more of a shout

1189
01:18:03,319 --> 01:18:06,920
out when it's Silent Hill two.
That's right. I did play cast Buckero.

1190
01:18:08,239 --> 01:18:11,520
Every game from nineteen ninety nine has
since been improved upon him one way

1191
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:14,439
or another. Mario Golf in sixty
four is a solid golf game, while

1192
01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:17,439
adding the flavor of the Mario Cast, good continual fun. If we did

1193
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:23,079
improve upon Third Strike, it wasn't
until like just this year. Actually never

1194
01:18:23,119 --> 01:18:26,880
improved on Ridge Racer Type four.
I'll say that that's true. Tokyo Game

1195
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:29,640
Life, Super Smash Brothers. I'd
wake up early to play it before school.

1196
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:33,880
It's that good mentions Quake three Arena
as well. Octo says ray Man

1197
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:39,319
two The Great Escape. Jeff Wren
says Star Wars Episode and one. Racer

1198
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:43,039
is truly the best game of nineteen
ninety nine, and I do like episode

1199
01:18:43,079 --> 01:18:45,760
one Racer. I like it a
lot as well. That's actually probably my

1200
01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:48,960
second favorite race game all the time. I didn't realize my two favorite racey

1201
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:54,399
games keep out. In nineteen ninety
nine, Bee Famer says Beatle Adventure Racing

1202
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:57,319
is a real game and has a
ninety on Metacritic. That's right, it's

1203
01:18:57,359 --> 01:19:00,439
one of the best reviewed games on
N sixty four. Mister Bowler, and

1204
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:03,399
I'm not a big RTS gamer,
but Age Vampires two is probably both my

1205
01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:09,239
favorite arts and game of nineteen ninety
nine. One Gift says, oh,

1206
01:19:09,319 --> 01:19:14,520
mega boost, because I guess no
one else will say it right, Yes,

1207
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:16,560
that's definitely true. I remember people
mentioning in this game. I've never

1208
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:20,479
actually found that or like or something. It looks it's there's a Meccan there.

1209
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:24,439
Yeah, I don't. I don't
really know. Lenny Cool Dick Denver

1210
01:19:25,039 --> 01:19:28,319
says, if you don't put legacy
of Kane's Soul Reaver on the list,

1211
01:19:28,600 --> 01:19:31,359
Tam will never forgive you. Tam. I'm already here my sins at strass.

1212
01:19:31,359 --> 01:19:35,279
We don't have to tell him,
tell Tan everybody all rights between us.

1213
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:40,479
Chuck nineteen ninety one says, being
a Sega home console kid in nineteen

1214
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:44,560
ninety eight passed me by, but
ninety nine was my year. Sonic Adventure,

1215
01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:47,880
Tony Hawk's pro Skater NFL two K
Soul caliber North American console released,

1216
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:53,560
and Dreamcast and shout out to Pokemon
Yellow Jet jat binks it never came to

1217
01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:59,880
North America. But Pepsi Man,
Pepsi Man Razzle Jazzled says, Grandia to

1218
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:03,680
serves a mention here US releases nineteen
ninety nine. Teryaki Blues says, shout

1219
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:09,800
out to Legend of Lagaya Logia.
I can never say that Lagaya Lagaya is

1220
01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:13,239
how I would say it, I
guess uh Slain. I might say roller

1221
01:20:13,319 --> 01:20:16,800
Coaster Tycoon, but I'll save that
one for roller Coaster Tycoon two. So

1222
01:20:17,079 --> 01:20:20,319
for this year, I'll pick one
of the best shooters ever. Unreal Tournament

1223
01:20:21,039 --> 01:20:27,760
uh A Cybers Sberez says, Age
of Empires two. Ezypsis says. My

1224
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:30,279
head says Smash Brothers, but my
heart says bugs money lost in time.

1225
01:20:30,399 --> 01:20:34,600
So I'll go down the middle and
say Unreal Tournament two or Real Tournament.

1226
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:40,439
Excuse me? Yeah, of course. Uh Ugante's says Donkey Kong sixty four

1227
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:44,239
one. We got your game.
This year, we got sold Caliber with

1228
01:20:44,359 --> 01:20:46,960
Cervantes, the pirate that your name
is after. That's right, survived days

1229
01:20:47,399 --> 01:20:53,159
hegante. It's all the same.
Hosp says, finally time for an RTS

1230
01:20:53,279 --> 01:20:57,079
here with one. I'm still playing
in Age of Empires two. I should

1231
01:20:57,119 --> 01:20:59,960
play that definitive addition since everyone loves
it so much. Yeah, I said

1232
01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:04,840
Isaac Clark. It's roller Coaster Tycoon
for me. Fellas Service Kaine says Gauntlet

1233
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:09,520
Legends and also says Soul Caliber for
obvious reasons. Yeah Man, Gauten Legends.

1234
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:13,279
It's just a fun, stupid game, yeah, Jack eg Man.

1235
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:15,880
All the best games released in nineteen
nine nine can't be included because of your

1236
01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:19,239
rules. But hey, Smash is
cool and Smash sixty four is good fun.

1237
01:21:19,279 --> 01:21:21,560
I want to want what rules that
they have to be released in the

1238
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:25,880
United States rule there might be a
lot of games that came out in Japan

1239
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:30,239
and even Europe. I guess yeah. Matt Rare Monkey says Street Fighter three,

1240
01:21:30,279 --> 01:21:33,199
Third Strike, Tony ex Pro Skaters, Soul Caliber, System Shock two,

1241
01:21:33,279 --> 01:21:38,039
Ridge Racer Type four. That's pretty
close to our last test. Pretty

1242
01:21:38,079 --> 01:21:42,319
close, yeah, Gerber on nineteen
ninety nine, when Prince was still alive

1243
01:21:42,359 --> 01:21:46,680
and Jennet Jamison hadn't selled her virtue
by sharing her political views Halcyon Days they

1244
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:51,239
mentioned Soul Reaver, Diogo throwing a
mentioned for Silent Hill, bugg Adilla,

1245
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:55,199
A bit of Das says. Nineteen
ninety nine was the goat year for Blake

1246
01:21:55,279 --> 01:22:00,239
Club worthy games, Superman sixty four, Earthworm Gem three D, and South

1247
01:22:00,319 --> 01:22:02,319
Park Rally, all in the span
of twelve minutes. Park Rally God.

1248
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:05,880
I played Earth from Jim three D. It is nowhere near as bad as

1249
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:09,399
some of these other games, Like
it actually plays like a video game.

1250
01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:13,600
Yeah, it is incredible, but
the perspective Blake Club is giving us because

1251
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:15,439
I think I thought that Animals game
was supposed to be bad, and like

1252
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:20,239
what you play like, this looks
completely This is fine. Listen to people

1253
01:22:20,239 --> 01:22:25,720
are getting too big for their bridges
about what's bad. Crouching Boomer Hidden Zoomer

1254
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:29,800
Special shout out to the South Park
Pinball machine not necessarily but not necessarily because

1255
01:22:30,079 --> 01:22:32,720
it was good, but it was
made by Sega Pinball and would be their

1256
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:38,159
last machine before ultimately selling the pinball
rights to Stern, thus forming the Stern

1257
01:22:38,239 --> 01:22:41,880
Pinball Division here's a YouTube link to
the footage. I mean that thing looks

1258
01:22:42,119 --> 01:22:45,880
very very cool, all rights.
Alexei if Kings sol River from Vision,

1259
01:22:46,039 --> 01:22:50,800
suken In two from osweek It In
two from Alex Kaiser. Phoenix says Garu

1260
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:58,279
Marco of the Wolves always be Clothing. Slash Corgi says Astron's Call is the

1261
01:22:58,359 --> 01:23:01,439
first MMO I've ever played. Astrand's
Call also nineteen Yeah, it was.

1262
01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:06,840
I liked Ashlands Call more than I
liked EverQuest for sure. I remember playing

1263
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:12,079
Ashlands Call the first time, like
running around actually just like meeting a stranger

1264
01:23:12,119 --> 01:23:15,560
and becoming quote unquote friends with them. It was pretty cool. Then finally

1265
01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:19,840
a Roller six six one zero says
the Final Fantasy eight and I D Kevin

1266
01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:27,520
says, AH Vampires two. They're
still making expansions for Mike. I think

1267
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:30,640
not a lot of new stuff there. There were a handful of a handful

1268
01:23:30,680 --> 01:23:32,479
of suggestions that I that we haven't
said, But for the most part,

1269
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:35,479
I think our list right now sold
Caliber Tonia Expert, Skater, Street Fight

1270
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:39,600
three, Third Strike, and Radge
Racer Type four for inclusion in the top

1271
01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:43,319
five is still a lock. Where
are we going with this last one?

1272
01:23:43,399 --> 01:23:45,680
There's a few places like sweeking in
two makes los sense for me, is

1273
01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:50,079
like yeah, this jffty Darling.
There's a lot of support for h Vampires

1274
01:23:50,119 --> 01:23:54,760
two, and I know we've kind
of been slighting that whole genre so far.

1275
01:23:55,039 --> 01:23:58,840
It's going to get another chance coming
up here when when we get to

1276
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:02,000
Warcraft three. Yeah, but still
a vent Pires two. Yeah, this

1277
01:24:02,199 --> 01:24:04,880
that does feel like a the start
of a different era a little bit though,

1278
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:09,279
with the introduction of the heroes and
kicking off you know, delta stuff,

1279
01:24:09,319 --> 01:24:12,720
it almost like starts the branch like
where that genre becomes mobile basically,

1280
01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:15,760
yeah, right, because of the
hero classes of Warcraft three. So I'm

1281
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:18,039
okay with throwing Age of Empires two
up there. That works for me.

1282
01:24:18,239 --> 01:24:20,600
I got I got no beef with
that. I think I do like that,

1283
01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:25,119
you know, you know, I
feel I feel bad a little bit

1284
01:24:25,159 --> 01:24:29,600
for sweekt into and basically get it
to mostly is what I feel bad counters

1285
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:33,079
like a little bit. But yeah, I think Aires two is actually a

1286
01:24:33,239 --> 01:24:35,359
right choice there. Let's give that
something. Now, Let's make sure are

1287
01:24:35,399 --> 01:24:41,560
we good with the order here?
I mean I like Tony's pro skater a

1288
01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:44,079
lot, obviously, but this is
the first one. I don't know.

1289
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:48,560
I'm okay with putting pro Skater down
further if we want, Yeah, it

1290
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:51,039
could be. It can be like
number five, even if we want,

1291
01:24:51,279 --> 01:24:55,000
I think it can maybe be number
five. All right, let's see here

1292
01:24:56,159 --> 01:25:02,560
then, uh do we put Rags
Took four number tw I'm I think it

1293
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:05,359
well the games on this list,
I think it's number two, yeah,

1294
01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:09,960
yeah, and then Third Strike Third
Strike at three because of course at the

1295
01:25:10,239 --> 01:25:15,600
age of the birth two bro Skater. But I think Sol Calvert is actually

1296
01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:19,159
number one for us, right,
yeah, I mean you can put that

1297
01:25:19,199 --> 01:25:21,720
game out today and it would be
a contended for a Game of the Year.

1298
01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:25,239
I think it was that good.
It was so good and it was

1299
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:30,439
so far ahead, Like you know
what I think I do think about both

1300
01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:32,359
ways what it was like then.
It was like now that gave it was

1301
01:25:32,359 --> 01:25:35,359
still fun to play now. But
man, when it came out, that

1302
01:25:35,600 --> 01:25:40,640
was just mind blowing. How ridiculously
cool that was. I mean that was

1303
01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:44,239
just playing a Dreamcast on launch stuff. Thing will ever be like that.

1304
01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:47,560
It was insane. Yeah, Like
we were still in the nineties when the

1305
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:51,359
Dreamcast launched, Like it was like
we had just like the year before we

1306
01:25:51,439 --> 01:25:55,760
were playing in sixty fours and PlayStations, and she's like a few years before

1307
01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:59,840
that, we were on Super aninten
like it was like the anis was a

1308
01:26:00,119 --> 01:26:02,600
like yeah, right, well it
wasn't even that. It's not like you

1309
01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:04,880
Casino. I know. It had
a long life cycle, like Ganyes,

1310
01:26:05,039 --> 01:26:09,840
was still Nintendo's newest console at one
point in the nineties. Yes, and

1311
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:13,680
then by the end of that decade, we're playing the god damn Dreamcast and

1312
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:17,760
Soul Caliber in our homes, right, like not not like Neo Geo playing

1313
01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:23,399
it and somebody's home somewhere. It's
no. My friend got a Dreamcast day

1314
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:26,000
of and it went over there and
we played Soul Caliber, and it would

1315
01:26:26,039 --> 01:26:29,720
it changed everything, Like it's like, okay, three D gaming is actually

1316
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:31,640
here. Now we are out of
the dark ages of three D gaming and

1317
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:35,319
now it's it's for real and boy, yeah it's Soul Calibarry's number one the

1318
01:26:35,319 --> 01:26:39,840
bullet for me. Love love the
rest of this list, though, I

1319
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:43,520
really like this one even. I
know, like nineteen ninety eight has a

1320
01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:45,560
lot like the obvious, like changing
the industry games, but there's still a

1321
01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:49,039
lot of cool stuff in nineteen ninety
nine yes, I and a lot of

1322
01:26:49,119 --> 01:26:53,760
games that I think are very fun
coming out in nineteen ninety nine, where

1323
01:26:53,760 --> 01:26:56,680
it's like, it's definitely a lot
of important games in nineteen ninety eight without

1324
01:26:56,720 --> 01:27:00,600
a doubt. Uh okay, I
think we'll take a the quick break.

1325
01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:02,199
When we get back, we are
going to talk about what we've been playing.

1326
01:27:02,399 --> 01:27:10,640
See in a second, Mike,
I beat Tears of the Kingdom.

1327
01:27:11,079 --> 01:27:14,000
You did it. I did it, beating it right now and including you

1328
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:18,199
people. I'm one of the people
who was beating it right now. It's

1329
01:27:18,399 --> 01:27:24,079
boy beating it right now. Thank
you, past Jeff. That is a

1330
01:27:24,239 --> 01:27:30,079
very good ending to a video game. Stuff. It's really it's a and

1331
01:27:30,159 --> 01:27:32,760
you know me like that was my
biggest complaint with Breath of Wild. I

1332
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:36,039
thought the ending was weak. I
thought the final boss wasn't interesting, and

1333
01:27:36,079 --> 01:27:41,560
I thought like the ending after that
was weak. This is very much amped

1334
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:44,640
up in terms of just prestation,
excitement, all the fun stuff. Yeah.

1335
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:47,359
So the Breath of the Wild,
my thing was I just needed I

1336
01:27:47,399 --> 01:27:50,279
don't need a big tough boss fight. I just needed to look cool.

1337
01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:56,840
And there was some cool visual elements
to the boss, but it clearly it

1338
01:27:57,119 --> 01:28:00,960
was they weren't trying a bunch of
different ideas and they weren't bringing this was

1339
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:04,399
it. It's some huge culmination of
all these other emotional threads and Tears of

1340
01:28:04,399 --> 01:28:09,359
the Kingdom is that, and uh, it's got It just keeps going and

1341
01:28:09,439 --> 01:28:14,439
it keeps amplifying and keeps getting bigger
and that and they used they do some

1342
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:18,560
fun tech, so like chat saying
yeah, we're doing smiley spoilery stuff about

1343
01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:20,359
Tears of the Kingdom right now,
guys. Yeah, I'm sorry, I

1344
01:28:20,439 --> 01:28:23,640
beat that. I'm talking about beating
the game. Yes, that's exactly right,

1345
01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:26,000
a little bit of a little bit
of my I mean, I don't

1346
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:28,399
know, it's talking about our feelings
of the game, and like I really

1347
01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:31,319
that doesn't come qualify. There is
one specific ish thing I kind of want

1348
01:28:31,319 --> 01:28:34,000
to say about it, so I
do want to Yeah, all right,

1349
01:28:34,119 --> 01:28:38,479
spoilers everybody, and then it's it's
starting now and if I mean, we'll

1350
01:28:38,479 --> 01:28:40,640
be talking about a handful of other
games. But I don't know, come

1351
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:43,520
back in like five minutes, I
guess, Yeah, what do you want

1352
01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:45,920
to say? Well, so I
don't know if this is really a problem.

1353
01:28:46,039 --> 01:28:50,880
Maybe does it bother you that the
whole ending sequence, the whole building

1354
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:54,439
mechanic, all the all trans stuff
that was so important to the game that

1355
01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:58,319
doesn't really fact or into anything you're
doing at the end. You so like

1356
01:28:58,439 --> 01:29:01,720
so like and a leak between worlds, right, it's so cool is the

1357
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:05,840
whole main mechanic is like attaching to
walls and at the end that final boss

1358
01:29:05,880 --> 01:29:09,840
fight, they have to give you
a way to use that in a way

1359
01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:13,199
you hadn't done it before, and
that's why it kind of sticks out to

1360
01:29:13,239 --> 01:29:15,359
me. And this doesn't really do
that. Like the final stuff is really

1361
01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:18,079
cool, and it definitely is playing
off of another key theme, all the

1362
01:29:18,199 --> 01:29:21,880
verticality and the falling and all that
stuff. So that's really cool. But

1363
01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:27,239
did it bother you that ultra hand
was a part of it. It didn't

1364
01:29:27,239 --> 01:29:31,399
occur to me, no, And
I think that's because ultrahand is you know,

1365
01:29:31,600 --> 01:29:35,199
there's ultrahnd, there's ascension, there
is time reversal stuff, and that

1366
01:29:35,319 --> 01:29:39,159
stuff didn't come into play. That's
the stuff you do throughout the game.

1367
01:29:39,279 --> 01:29:43,680
And then and they did try to
make a big deal about like these three

1368
01:29:44,319 --> 01:29:47,199
levels of the world, the sky, you know, the surface and the

1369
01:29:47,279 --> 01:29:49,479
depths, and that stuff did come
into play, like you said, and

1370
01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:54,560
that was the coolest part of the
fight for sure. They did some really

1371
01:29:54,600 --> 01:29:58,359
cool things there, like when you
get caught in mid air after like doing

1372
01:29:58,399 --> 01:30:00,319
certain attacks and stuff, the way
that you do get caught in the way

1373
01:30:00,359 --> 01:30:02,359
that's like kind of no matter what, you're going to get caught like that,

1374
01:30:02,479 --> 01:30:05,920
just so like I would dive straight
down and make that happen. It

1375
01:30:06,039 --> 01:30:10,079
was just it felt so amazing.
So I was like, I was too

1376
01:30:10,720 --> 01:30:13,840
impressed by what was happening to be
worried about that stuff. And now that

1377
01:30:13,880 --> 01:30:15,960
you mentioned it's like, yeah,
maybe they could have done that, But

1378
01:30:16,680 --> 01:30:19,279
again, I'm at the end of
the game. I've been doing those mechanics

1379
01:30:19,359 --> 01:30:23,520
for one hundred and fifty one hundred
and sixty for my game of one hundred

1380
01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:29,039
and sixty five hours. I just
want a fight that looks cool at the

1381
01:30:29,239 --> 01:30:32,319
end. That's and what they did
they more than delivered that. And by

1382
01:30:32,359 --> 01:30:34,920
the end, it's like there's a
couple of great moments where they were super

1383
01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:39,560
emotional and fun. So no,
I was, I was pretty happy with

1384
01:30:39,600 --> 01:30:43,079
it. You do you kind of
have before you do that stuff the right

1385
01:30:43,159 --> 01:30:46,239
the stuff right before with the Fifth
Temple is very much feels kind of like

1386
01:30:46,319 --> 01:30:50,319
the Ultra ham Final Exam. Right, yes, right, that's like its

1387
01:30:50,359 --> 01:30:54,319
own sort of part. It all
feels part of that the end game.

1388
01:30:54,600 --> 01:30:57,359
You know, it's an extended endgame. But yes, you're right, and

1389
01:30:57,439 --> 01:31:00,359
so there's a huge opportunity to use
all that stuff and so yeah, I

1390
01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:03,800
didn't feel that much at all.
I just Boiler's kind of done. Now,

1391
01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:05,960
yes, exactly, there you go, everybody, come on back.

1392
01:31:06,239 --> 01:31:09,520
Now. I have a question for
you, A question question. Yeah,

1393
01:31:09,560 --> 01:31:13,399
please, because now you're clearly ready
for this since you beat it. But

1394
01:31:14,359 --> 01:31:15,399
Breath of the Wild Tears the Kingdom? Which one? Did you like more?

1395
01:31:16,840 --> 01:31:20,720
Breath of the Wild is a more
important game to me personally. I

1396
01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:24,640
do think Tears of the Kingdom is
the game that I would recommend to people,

1397
01:31:24,760 --> 01:31:28,840
and that I think I enjoyed playing
more. And I think I know

1398
01:31:29,039 --> 01:31:30,920
that because when I was at one
hundred and fifty hours in Breath of the

1399
01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:33,960
Wild, I was done and I
moved on, and I like, there

1400
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:35,560
are a few things I would I
was like, oh, I'll go wrap

1401
01:31:35,600 --> 01:31:39,600
that up here. I'm just like, I could have just kept playing for

1402
01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:44,079
another fifty hours easy, which is
a lot for me. That's like that's

1403
01:31:44,119 --> 01:31:46,960
saying a ton for me. So
I just I think Tears of the Kingdom

1404
01:31:47,039 --> 01:31:51,239
is a more will refined game,
a more well put together and well paced,

1405
01:31:51,319 --> 01:31:54,479
even though there's so much in there
and it could be easy to be

1406
01:31:54,600 --> 01:31:59,680
overwhelmed somehow that never really happens.
But man, nothing's ever going to really

1407
01:31:59,680 --> 01:32:03,439
compare to booting up Breath of the
Wild and realizing that it's this game that

1408
01:32:03,439 --> 01:32:08,199
I've always been wanting and actually getting
that. So Breath of the Wild has

1409
01:32:08,199 --> 01:32:11,279
a special place in my heart.
But I think I probably do Tears.

1410
01:32:11,319 --> 01:32:14,079
I put Tears to the Kingdom just
above it, now, you know in

1411
01:32:14,319 --> 01:32:16,560
reality, though, Mike, you
know you ask me that question, is

1412
01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:19,399
why I would answer it. I
don't need to actually have that in my

1413
01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:24,119
own personal like ranking in my mind, I'm not doing that. That's like

1414
01:32:24,239 --> 01:32:26,520
I feel the same way about the
Star Wars stuff, Like it's all just

1415
01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:28,600
Star Wars to me. I'm not
gonna I don't actually need to rank.

1416
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:30,239
Right, we don't know that you
like episode nine just as much as episode

1417
01:32:30,279 --> 01:32:34,680
eight, and it's it's exactly right, of course, And that's I've always

1418
01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:38,039
said that, And you will never
be able to find me saying anything different

1419
01:32:38,079 --> 01:32:42,800
in the past. Uh yeah,
but boy, I just really can't believe

1420
01:32:42,840 --> 01:32:45,800
that they've delivered that game after deliving
Breath of the Wild and uh yeah,

1421
01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:51,000
an incredible experience, kind of easily
worthy of Game of the Year. We'll

1422
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:54,640
see what happens. A lot of
a lot of year left, apparently so

1423
01:32:55,039 --> 01:32:57,720
year left a lot of you know, I think a lot of people are

1424
01:32:57,800 --> 01:33:00,079
going to have their favorites. I
think it's gonna be toughs the King of

1425
01:33:00,239 --> 01:33:02,279
for a good amount of people.
But yeah, I was I was just

1426
01:33:02,359 --> 01:33:08,119
spamming the screenshot button, scamming the
video recording button. Yeah, just so

1427
01:33:08,279 --> 01:33:12,880
many very good things. It's good
stuff. The sages were really fun at

1428
01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:15,399
the end. It's just I do
definitely put it up there with like some

1429
01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:18,199
of the best Zelda endings with the
wind Wicker and link between worlds for me

1430
01:33:18,319 --> 01:33:23,840
for some of my favorites. Yeah, it's really fun. It's I think

1431
01:33:23,880 --> 01:33:27,600
they really understand kind of what they
need to be delivering there for the for

1432
01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:31,319
an endgame in a way that Nintendo
was never really done prioritized a lot in

1433
01:33:31,359 --> 01:33:35,479
the past. Wind Waker amazing stuff, but it's like after that, it's

1434
01:33:35,720 --> 01:33:39,840
not like every Zelda was like building
on wind Waker and doing more than win

1435
01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:43,640
Wicker did. Yeah, they were
kind of try try right, try,

1436
01:33:44,520 --> 01:33:46,439
It was ok, it would work
a bit. Actually, Skyward Swords was

1437
01:33:46,600 --> 01:33:49,600
pretty cool with that final bus fight
at least, but no, nothing was

1438
01:33:49,640 --> 01:33:54,239
like Windwaker. That was ridiculous.
Stabbing him in the head. What the

1439
01:33:54,359 --> 01:33:59,079
well the ocean is falling around you
and you're fighting with Princess Zoonda's cool cool,

1440
01:33:59,119 --> 01:34:01,159
cool, cool, cool cool cool
moment. Yep. So yeah,

1441
01:34:01,479 --> 01:34:04,479
but I beat that so that I
could get ready for Starfield. Uh.

1442
01:34:05,720 --> 01:34:09,640
That meant like it's been all Pickman
four and then and then Zelda for the

1443
01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:13,319
last week or so. And we
talked about Pickman four on Less than Ten

1444
01:34:13,359 --> 01:34:15,439
Dogs. But that was also a
very fun game game. I can't believe

1445
01:34:15,439 --> 01:34:17,880
I'm much. I mean, I
can't believe that's the game I wanted.

1446
01:34:17,880 --> 01:34:20,479
You're presented. Basically, I didn't
think I was going to be that interested

1447
01:34:20,520 --> 01:34:23,960
in it. Once you get in
that loop, once you get that once

1448
01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:26,960
it gets tooks, and yet it's
like so fun to just blast straight through

1449
01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:29,199
the end and then just keep you
know, then you look around and you're

1450
01:34:29,199 --> 01:34:30,279
like, I could get the last
few things and I really want to.

1451
01:34:30,560 --> 01:34:33,119
And it's like that's Pickman. There
you go, you got it, and

1452
01:34:33,399 --> 01:34:35,880
yeah again it's the best Pickman's ever
been. But do you have any interest

1453
01:34:35,960 --> 01:34:41,279
of checking out Pickman one, Pickman
two? Yeah? I mostly Pickman one

1454
01:34:41,359 --> 01:34:44,720
to see that where it really like
a kind of started. It's it's gonna

1455
01:34:44,760 --> 01:34:47,039
be hard to find time right now
to do that, you know, not

1456
01:34:47,199 --> 01:34:51,279
Now that I do have sort of
free switch time again, I do think

1457
01:34:51,279 --> 01:34:57,039
I am going to check out Octopath
Traveler to make sure that I have at

1458
01:34:57,119 --> 01:35:00,520
least an opinion on that. Since
so many people have been commending it.

1459
01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:02,720
People seem to like it so much. Let's give it a shot see if

1460
01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:06,119
it gets its hooks into me as
well. And if not, then I

1461
01:35:06,159 --> 01:35:10,560
can just go move on to Found
fifty six Pixary Master like I wanted to.

1462
01:35:11,079 --> 01:35:14,159
Yep, yeah, totally fair.
I don't know anything else. You

1463
01:35:14,239 --> 01:35:17,520
have any more time for Boulders Gate. I mean's no, I've been I's

1464
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:21,039
been playing something else I can't talk
about us, so and now there's Starfield

1465
01:35:21,159 --> 01:35:26,319
also, but I want to play
more boulders Gates, but now I'm gonna

1466
01:35:26,319 --> 01:35:30,520
be playing Starfield, so it's a
little difficult there thirty x SEX though,

1467
01:35:30,520 --> 01:35:32,159
I've been playing even since we did
the quick look, been playing more of

1468
01:35:32,319 --> 01:35:36,199
that, even got to like the
final level, even been having some some

1469
01:35:36,319 --> 01:35:41,359
good runs, even like getting pretty
decently far with some mediocre builds. I

1470
01:35:41,439 --> 01:35:44,960
feel like, I think that game
is really fun, and I know it's

1471
01:35:45,039 --> 01:35:47,880
I know it's easy to get overwhelmed
with all these new games, but if

1472
01:35:47,920 --> 01:35:53,119
you like Mega man X, please
make sure you at least check out thirty

1473
01:35:53,439 --> 01:35:58,000
x X. It's really cool.
I installed it on the Roger Solid have

1474
01:35:58,159 --> 01:36:00,520
it there. It's like an option
to play a bed time, I think,

1475
01:36:00,760 --> 01:36:01,880
And I'll try to get a couple
of runs in here and there,

1476
01:36:03,600 --> 01:36:06,640
yeah, and then yeah, just
it really is kind of all Starfield,

1477
01:36:06,640 --> 01:36:09,800
and so I'm like trying to come
up with a game plan in my head

1478
01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:13,479
about but really, I have no
idea how long I'm gonna be playing Starfield,

1479
01:36:13,720 --> 01:36:15,239
and I kind of want to do
what I did with Zelda to a

1480
01:36:15,319 --> 01:36:17,880
certain extent and be like, if
it takes a lot of time to like

1481
01:36:18,279 --> 01:36:21,840
have my experience with it, then
so be it. Well, the star

1482
01:36:21,960 --> 01:36:27,359
Field is that like the BETHESTA games, beating them even like more, even

1483
01:36:27,399 --> 01:36:31,800
like less owns than Zelda isn't really
beating it, Like who cares? Exactly?

1484
01:36:32,039 --> 01:36:36,279
You can go in beat it and
appease the people who would be upset

1485
01:36:36,319 --> 01:36:42,319
if you did it right except right
now, thank you? Yes? Uh.

1486
01:36:42,760 --> 01:36:46,279
Personally though, I only want to
read reviews of people who didn't beat

1487
01:36:46,359 --> 01:36:49,680
Starfield. I don't get that,
Like, if that's what you did,

1488
01:36:50,159 --> 01:36:54,119
you you were not going to have
the experience that I care about that caters

1489
01:36:54,159 --> 01:36:57,800
to me. Tell me about your
weird side stories, that's all that matters.

1490
01:36:58,640 --> 01:37:00,720
So yeah, that's probably how ill
they're really a Star Wars argument going

1491
01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:03,920
on a chat. My god,
I can't even make a you can't see

1492
01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:09,600
anything, you can't see the word
episode eighty without actually even giving it pit

1493
01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:13,600
but to make it a joke without
man, I almost almost shot shoot the

1494
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:16,159
nut, shoot but the lad a
couple of the comments, the first comments,

1495
01:37:16,199 --> 01:37:18,600
because I knew that she was going
to happen, and it happened,

1496
01:37:18,600 --> 01:37:24,199
I should have just act on my
intuition, I think at this point,

1497
01:37:24,800 --> 01:37:30,199
Yeah, whatever, just let let
the argument happen. If it burns out

1498
01:37:30,239 --> 01:37:34,000
faster than ever, these things,
you just gotta let them tire them exactly

1499
01:37:34,279 --> 01:37:40,720
exactly. Just everyone wave your arms, including me. They Shoka pretty easy

1500
01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:46,560
at all? You care about Ashoka
Ahska? Okay, Well yeah, but

1501
01:37:46,600 --> 01:37:51,920
it's it's before the yes ah Soca. Yes, Yeah, there we Gooca,

1502
01:37:53,439 --> 01:37:56,640
Yes, there you go. Man, Shoka, you were sitting what

1503
01:37:56,800 --> 01:38:00,560
is he talking about about? I
probably shouted, like a totally go real

1504
01:38:00,359 --> 01:38:04,359
fucking nerd who doesn't know what's cool? Scored, thank you for being a

1505
01:38:04,439 --> 01:38:08,199
member for eleven months thing. Yeah, x score, always been a supporter.

1506
01:38:08,279 --> 01:38:11,840
Thank you so much, x score. I'm like, I go back

1507
01:38:11,880 --> 01:38:16,039
and forth on Ahsoka. Aska is
definitely Dave Filoni's insert fanfic character and that,

1508
01:38:16,880 --> 01:38:19,399
but he's like pretty good at that, so that's okay to a certain

1509
01:38:19,439 --> 01:38:23,079
extent. But I just could never
get super excited about like this is the

1510
01:38:23,119 --> 01:38:27,000
future of Star Wars because it's just
it's just not to me. But right,

1511
01:38:27,319 --> 01:38:30,680
somebody who never watch those cartoons,
I know people like them. A

1512
01:38:30,760 --> 01:38:35,760
Soca Soca always seem to like the
like like a bit of a scrappy deuce

1513
01:38:35,880 --> 01:38:39,199
to me, and I know that's
probably not actually the case, but I

1514
01:38:39,239 --> 01:38:44,039
can't get that mess literally on she
is, yes, but they like adjust

1515
01:38:44,119 --> 01:38:46,239
her pretty quickly and she grows up
like literally in the show she gets older

1516
01:38:46,760 --> 01:38:51,119
and there's a lot of great Clone
Wars, but yeah, it's for for

1517
01:38:51,239 --> 01:38:54,760
me, it's it was never it
never clicked super well. And for my

1518
01:38:55,800 --> 01:39:00,119
I always had the issue of,
like she showed up in the Mandalorian and

1519
01:39:00,920 --> 01:39:03,800
still like spouting all the dogma of
the Jedi about it. I thought she

1520
01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:08,640
didn't like the Jedi anymore. I
thought they and I'd be like I hadn't

1521
01:39:08,680 --> 01:39:12,000
finished Clone Wars and everyone everyone's like, oh, you're embarrassing yourself if you

1522
01:39:12,119 --> 01:39:15,760
think that, Like she didn't like
think the Jedi were bad, and like

1523
01:39:15,880 --> 01:39:17,399
the only reason she thought the Jedi
were bad is because they thought she was

1524
01:39:17,439 --> 01:39:21,279
a terrorist, not because of anything
they believed. It was, Like,

1525
01:39:21,399 --> 01:39:25,520
guys, come on, they nope, the show doesn't really still get it.

1526
01:39:25,600 --> 01:39:27,840
And I think they do when they
talk about it, like over extending

1527
01:39:27,840 --> 01:39:30,279
periods of time, they just never
show it in the show. So whatever,

1528
01:39:30,399 --> 01:39:33,359
not Star Wars. The short answer
is, I will wait to hear

1529
01:39:33,479 --> 01:39:38,520
how good a Soca is because I
didn't finish Obi Wan and I don't feel

1530
01:39:38,520 --> 01:39:41,359
like wasting my time with the Soaka
until I hear that it's decent. Like

1531
01:39:41,439 --> 01:39:44,399
I yowed at Jeff, we're talking
about Star Wars. Then I started a

1532
01:39:44,479 --> 01:39:46,359
big Stars conversation. So did you
get your tickets for Blue Beetle. I'm

1533
01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:51,000
oh, man, I am a
rock hard for Blue Beetle. You let's

1534
01:39:51,039 --> 01:39:55,159
go go wake up the kids.
Right now, we're getting the line,

1535
01:39:55,199 --> 01:39:58,279
I don't care if you're tired.
Well, you gotta get the best seats,

1536
01:39:58,359 --> 01:40:01,239
you know. Yes, Oh,
oh, let's freaking go, Daddy,

1537
01:40:01,279 --> 01:40:03,560
you're scaring me. Yeah, that's
right. I have to scare you.

1538
01:40:03,720 --> 01:40:08,119
That's how important Blue Beetle is.
Chris is right, it certified fresh

1539
01:40:08,359 --> 01:40:14,600
let go certified. Oh, let's
bread a battle. That movie could win

1540
01:40:14,680 --> 01:40:18,600
the Oscar and I don't think I
would be interested. I don't think people

1541
01:40:18,640 --> 01:40:23,680
could bring it to my home,
like like Jehovah's Witness and like this changed

1542
01:40:23,720 --> 01:40:26,000
my life and I'm like, no, I will pass. Thank you.

1543
01:40:26,079 --> 01:40:29,479
I think I have my favorite twitch
stream ever ever last night. So it's

1544
01:40:29,479 --> 01:40:31,520
just playing Super Metrid for the game
Coast. So let's play Super Metroid,

1545
01:40:31,600 --> 01:40:35,279
my favorite gifts ever. They just
started screaming about Blue Beetle. People kept

1546
01:40:35,359 --> 01:40:40,560
giving me more money than more screaming
in there. It's like yeah, started,

1547
01:40:40,840 --> 01:40:43,920
Yeah, it's just like this series
and you that like it popped you

1548
01:40:44,079 --> 01:40:45,720
and you're like, well, this
is the rest of the night. Yeah.

1549
01:40:45,840 --> 01:40:48,319
It's like my friend Dave's like really
like a cinemaphile. He like he's

1550
01:40:48,359 --> 01:40:53,920
resented the superhero movies for a very
long time, so like Blue Beetle,

1551
01:40:54,319 --> 01:40:57,279
it's just yaught even a joke for
him. But uh yeah, I think

1552
01:40:57,279 --> 01:41:00,520
I owe him a drinker or something
because I really got I really got Blue

1553
01:41:00,520 --> 01:41:03,399
Beetle to pop off for me.
Now, I'd be like, I know

1554
01:41:03,520 --> 01:41:05,840
I have like friends who like even
I think Jan likes Blue Beetle. I

1555
01:41:05,880 --> 01:41:09,399
think I have a lot of fans
who are a lot of friends because who

1556
01:41:09,399 --> 01:41:15,239
are famous, you had a lot
of fan though, like I'm stupid brain

1557
01:41:15,920 --> 01:41:17,319
h yeah, a lot of friends
who like Blue Beetle. But it's just

1558
01:41:17,439 --> 01:41:24,239
like at this point for the DC
movies, who cares well, yeahs bros

1559
01:41:24,239 --> 01:41:27,239
in general pretty much? Oh yeah, well for sure, But like I

1560
01:41:27,279 --> 01:41:30,199
don't know if there was like I
would probably go see another Marvel movie at

1561
01:41:30,279 --> 01:41:34,399
some point in the future maybe,
although I didn't see Guardians A Galaxy three

1562
01:41:34,520 --> 01:41:38,039
even though it's at home now.
That one I liked. That was like

1563
01:41:38,079 --> 01:41:40,000
I'm sure I almost kind of felt
like, all right, well, I

1564
01:41:40,079 --> 01:41:43,840
like the Guardians, I'll see this. I'm not gonna see the Marvels or

1565
01:41:44,560 --> 01:41:46,520
uh, I don't even know that, you know, you know, interested

1566
01:41:46,600 --> 01:41:51,720
in the Secret Invasion to yeah,
you would have to invasion, bro,

1567
01:41:53,760 --> 01:42:00,720
I'd rather watch Blue Beetles than the
Secret Invasion. God. Uh you might.

1568
01:42:00,880 --> 01:42:02,880
You might be surprised to hear that
people are upset about our list,

1569
01:42:03,279 --> 01:42:09,279
so really, because in chat people
seemed pretty okay with it. I got

1570
01:42:09,640 --> 01:42:12,479
just there's two two once like you
trolling and the other one says, what

1571
01:42:12,560 --> 01:42:15,079
a mikey ass list? How could
you let this happen? Oh? Is

1572
01:42:15,119 --> 01:42:18,399
it because of Is it because of
Ridge Racer? Oh? So people are

1573
01:42:18,439 --> 01:42:23,319
mad about Soul Reaver. I mean
I'm with, oh yeah, sorry,

1574
01:42:23,319 --> 01:42:28,760
I'm a little surprised how much people
like Soul Reaver. Yeah if that one

1575
01:42:28,840 --> 01:42:32,239
always felt like, oh, marketing
made you think you like that game because

1576
01:42:32,720 --> 01:42:36,439
it was everywhere for it. But
that's my bias, so you know,

1577
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:40,760
yeah, totally all right, you
know what, we're just rambling. Now,

1578
01:42:40,880 --> 01:42:43,119
let's wrap this show up. I'm
don't want it to end, jeff

1579
01:42:43,119 --> 01:42:45,880
A man, I know I'm having
a good time. Absolutely but this,

1580
01:42:45,520 --> 01:42:48,039
I know through this, I'm just
gonna be watching Blue Beetle back then.

1581
01:42:48,079 --> 01:42:51,960
I mean, let's get back in. I'm gonna go to Blue Beetle Tube

1582
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:55,640
and just lose myself. You know, I'm blue beetle like right now.

1583
01:42:55,880 --> 01:43:00,359
Yeah, I got several blue beetles
up my ainus so that we speak,

1584
01:43:01,119 --> 01:43:03,720
all right, Mike, where can
people find you on the internet? Uh,

1585
01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:09,479
tolkoto everywhere? That's that's who i'd
be. That's who I am.

1586
01:43:10,039 --> 01:43:14,159
Uh and uh yeah, we had
the game mess Game Club discussion, robertin

1587
01:43:14,880 --> 01:43:17,279
go up on our site. Please
check that out. That was a lot

1588
01:43:17,319 --> 01:43:20,600
of fun. I'll try to strip
some more at some point this weekend.

1589
01:43:20,840 --> 01:43:25,079
Uh. You know, I've did
more than half of Super Metroid in that

1590
01:43:25,119 --> 01:43:28,840
first play through, so he's gotta
go do the rest of that. Uh,

1591
01:43:29,159 --> 01:43:31,079
he'll explore a bit more, Fight
Ridley, Fight Mother Brain, and

1592
01:43:31,199 --> 01:43:34,640
we'll be good there. But yeah, how about you, Jeff, Yeah,

1593
01:43:34,800 --> 01:43:39,079
I'm on Twitter still. I'm on
a bunch of other places, Jeff

1594
01:43:39,079 --> 01:43:42,399
grubbing most most of those. I'm
Jeffie grub grub on. Throw a little

1595
01:43:42,399 --> 01:43:45,920
more super chats, that's right.
So oh, I'm a board a board

1596
01:43:45,039 --> 01:43:50,279
bart button, all right, what
is it that? God damn it?

1597
01:43:50,359 --> 01:43:55,439
Thank you Jaking Jeff, remember reminding
me the Andrew. We were just yelling

1598
01:43:55,479 --> 01:43:59,760
about everything else. I was just
so none of these around, Blue Beetle.

1599
01:43:59,760 --> 01:44:02,159
Why are we stopping the show to
read these? The Andrew thirteen says,

1600
01:44:02,199 --> 01:44:05,840
Alphas and Tari the Goat, unreal
Turney, system Shocked too. I

1601
01:44:05,880 --> 01:44:09,600
do feel bad about System Shock too. It's been so long since I played

1602
01:44:09,600 --> 01:44:15,960
that one. I want to see
again. Uh Ra six ten says,

1603
01:44:15,079 --> 01:44:18,000
Now that ranking has done, and
your real question answer, when are we

1604
01:44:18,079 --> 01:44:23,000
going to get a podcast with Mike
and his new best friend Double J Jeff

1605
01:44:23,079 --> 01:44:26,600
J I mean being a double J
should do a barbecue podcast or something and

1606
01:44:26,680 --> 01:44:30,119
be funny. That would be fantastic. A T says, did you see

1607
01:44:30,119 --> 01:44:34,199
that Michael Sarah was on an unaired
sitcom called The Grubs? What the fuck?

1608
01:44:34,399 --> 01:44:38,760
No, I'll look into it.
Incredible. I need to see that.

1609
01:44:39,359 --> 01:44:41,960
I need to see that. Okay, now we're done. Cool,

1610
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:44,800
all right, thank you everybody.
I don't know. Now I gotta kill

1611
01:44:44,840 --> 01:44:53,800
some time. We've already done all
the outress and stuff. Movie done.

1612
01:44:53,880 --> 01:45:00,640
Now let's fucking go. Blue beet
a motherfuckers. I'm gonna buy Oh,

1613
01:45:00,760 --> 01:45:08,319
let's freak go six plastic blue beetle
popcorn buckets. Could have said two of

1614
01:45:08,399 --> 01:45:11,239
them to Jad, the rest are
for me, baby, It's gonna be

1615
01:45:11,399 --> 01:45:15,319
fantastic. There's no way Jan's beating
Tears of the Kingdom by the way before

1616
01:45:15,880 --> 01:45:17,000
packs. I don't think. I
don't. I'm sorry, I guess what

1617
01:45:17,039 --> 01:45:19,439
I bring her clippers. There's no
way. I first of all, I

1618
01:45:19,520 --> 01:45:21,560
think he wants to shave his head, but second off, he does.

1619
01:45:21,960 --> 01:45:25,159
Yeah, I think he's it's not
gonna happen. I don't think. Yeah,

1620
01:45:25,479 --> 01:45:28,960
I think if he wanted to,
uh, he'd be surprised how much

1621
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:31,880
work. He said he only has
seven hearts or something, but he's got

1622
01:45:31,960 --> 01:45:34,960
two and a half stamin of meters
or whatever. So yeah, I tell

1623
01:45:34,960 --> 01:45:38,560
you what, you don't not need
that much stamin, especially in this game.

1624
01:45:38,600 --> 01:45:41,680
That's a mistake. I mean,
he needed to get certain things.

1625
01:45:41,760 --> 01:45:44,680
But yeah, that's fun. You're
right, you do. We need more

1626
01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:49,239
health because those silver enemies hit so
goddamn heart. Yeah, it was,

1627
01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:53,520
and they take forever to kill two. That was my biggest frustration with the

1628
01:45:53,560 --> 01:45:58,600
game is those silver enemies. Yeah, finally, the weapons in degrade listen,

1629
01:45:59,479 --> 01:46:00,560
and that was like, that's what
made me like really, like,

1630
01:46:00,760 --> 01:46:03,479
you learn worked the way it's supposed
to work, right, I learned to

1631
01:46:04,399 --> 01:46:08,159
craft all that stuff onto my weapons. But I have all this shit well

1632
01:46:08,159 --> 01:46:11,560
because it because at first I was
only crafted weapons on the weapons, and

1633
01:46:11,640 --> 01:46:14,680
I realized, oh, I'm supposed
to be crafting these like monster parks onto

1634
01:46:14,720 --> 01:46:17,439
here to really get the attack bonuses. I shouldn't just be hoarding those hoping

1635
01:46:17,560 --> 01:46:21,279
right that I need them for like
a armor upgrade or something exactly. And

1636
01:46:21,479 --> 01:46:24,600
so once I got to that point, it's like, Okay, I'm these

1637
01:46:24,680 --> 01:46:27,920
weapons are super powerful now and they
last actually a really long time. So

1638
01:46:28,159 --> 01:46:30,960
beef Hammer is right. You do
need a lost him if you're beating it

1639
01:46:30,159 --> 01:46:33,079
right now, that's true. Yeah, and everybody is beating it right now.

1640
01:46:34,800 --> 01:46:39,520
Damn boy, were you just most
people are beating it right now?

1641
01:46:40,520 --> 01:46:48,039
Da? Yeah, why, I
love your mom. That's a good way

1642
01:46:48,039 --> 01:46:53,079
to kill time. He's got this
big soundboard here. They are going to

1643
01:46:53,199 --> 01:46:59,079
come Zelda. They are going to
come Zelda Chief. All right, Jeff,

01:46:59,439 --> 01:47:01,960

01:47:02,159 --> 01:47:19,079

1646
01:47:19,159 --> 01:47:26,279
alright, Jeff, let's see each
other here. Okay, damn, oh,

1647
01:47:26,399 --> 01:47:33,159
let's freaking go. They are going
to come for Zelda Blue Biddle movie

1648
01:47:33,319 --> 01:47:42,399
dot net. All right, hit
the insert ad button. I'll be quiet

1649
01:47:42,399 --> 01:47:48,520
for a second. Okay, uh, now is it cool if we get

1650
01:47:48,560 --> 01:47:55,079
back in Christian You're good? Yeah, it's good. Okay, I will

1651
01:47:55,119 --> 01:47:57,840
be right back. Jeff, yep, sure thing. Are you gonna do

1652
01:47:58,520 --> 01:48:02,239
the game first or the game?
Were the game first? Yes? Yes

1653
01:48:02,319 --> 01:48:08,600
we are. Let's get that set
up right now, right now. Oh

1654
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:13,279
yeah. I was about to tell
him Chad, but he watches him talking

1655
01:48:13,479 --> 01:48:18,960
and I could hear him perfectly on
here and on the YouTube, so he

1656
01:48:19,039 --> 01:48:21,920
stopped talking. I was going to
tell hey, Mike, Mike, Mike.

1657
01:48:23,640 --> 01:48:27,760
Yeah, I don't know what happened. It's like it's weird. Uh.

1658
01:48:29,840 --> 01:48:35,399
Somebody says something like I did update
my drivers earlier today, and I

1659
01:48:35,479 --> 01:48:41,720
wonder if I just need to Oh
yeah, the beautiful driver those baby,

1660
01:48:42,439 --> 01:48:45,399
I have to have those sweet beautiful
drivers. Okay, let's see he is

1661
01:48:45,760 --> 01:48:50,840
streaming it. Here's that's right.
How do I do this? I think

1662
01:48:50,840 --> 01:48:56,800
I do it like this, and
then I show down video to participants.

1663
01:48:56,880 --> 01:49:04,520
No, there we go, and
then we go to the tree the watch

1664
01:49:04,560 --> 01:49:11,239
along and cut on the Earth score. By the way, Yeah, I

1665
01:49:11,279 --> 01:49:12,960
know, it's just because I thinks
we're getting moved around. Just give me

1666
01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:15,840
a second, it'll be it'll be
fixed when we go back to everything else

1667
01:49:15,399 --> 01:49:18,439
bigger on the screen and you cut
you down, So you didn't, you

1668
01:49:18,520 --> 01:49:24,319
know, look because because it's I'm
getting set up in the other scene,

1669
01:49:24,520 --> 01:49:42,760
and because so everything's show the game. Yeah there's that, uh all right,

1670
01:49:42,840 --> 01:49:51,520
that looks good, and then let
me just get Mikey down. M

1671
01:49:51,960 --> 01:50:02,279
m mm hmmm. A plane asked
Guts from the aniverse circu in Congratulations three.

1672
01:50:02,720 --> 01:50:06,159
Yeah I tried. I was like, oh, what what class should

1673
01:50:06,159 --> 01:50:09,880
I play? I was like,
oh, I guess I played like the

1674
01:50:11,199 --> 01:50:15,000
cleric or whatever with the big those
can use big source. It's like I

1675
01:50:15,119 --> 01:50:17,520
played like an hour and then I
saw all the skills and I was like,

1676
01:50:17,640 --> 01:50:20,680
this is not Gods. Gods is
a fucking soldier. So he's just

1677
01:50:20,800 --> 01:50:27,199
a warrior. It's like, oh, this feels way better. It feels

1678
01:50:27,279 --> 01:50:31,840
way more in character, and I'm
killing every fucking demon and creature because that's

1679
01:50:31,920 --> 01:50:35,600
what gots does storms are coming here? Just an fyr Oh, he's been

1680
01:50:35,680 --> 01:50:40,439
ready for like three days here.
It's fun. I love rainy season.

1681
01:50:40,920 --> 01:50:45,319
He's fucking winter. It's never raised
some winter here. Now he's in my

1682
01:50:45,399 --> 01:50:50,479
window. I'm fixing it right now. I'm short here. I couldn't measure

1683
01:50:50,479 --> 01:50:56,520
out your head grain. It's weird. If he was your real play you

1684
01:50:56,560 --> 01:51:01,680
would have have his hide. She's
tattooed in your forehead. People right now?

1685
01:51:02,760 --> 01:51:09,600
All right, Jeff's you know what
actually like this? Well? I

1686
01:51:09,680 --> 01:51:12,760
can. It's as pointed done as
it can be. It's on those same

1687
01:51:12,840 --> 01:51:20,479
level as yours. Yeah, but
all right, mm hmm, how's it

1688
01:51:20,600 --> 01:51:26,439
on me? You know you can't
just scriped it so cert like? What

1689
01:51:26,520 --> 01:51:30,800
did I I don't know. For
some reasons, I've had a difficult time,

1690
01:51:30,840 --> 01:51:32,880
like getting yours centers that you look
fine, But there we go.

1691
01:51:33,560 --> 01:51:35,119
It's just a little bit shorter.
You dont have to live with that.

1692
01:51:36,640 --> 01:51:40,520
Now he sends a lower than mine. I see what you mean. But

1693
01:51:40,640 --> 01:51:48,640
I have just crouching yours and you
because Mike fixed the scoliosis for a second

1694
01:51:48,680 --> 01:51:54,600
there, whenever he wants to actually
seem like he's tall exactly, I'm a

1695
01:51:54,760 --> 01:52:00,279
tall Mike. Oh, now,
this is all off. There we go.

1696
01:52:02,680 --> 01:52:09,600
I don't know what's going on.
What is this, Jeff, Yeah,

1697
01:52:09,640 --> 01:52:15,640
that's somewhere. What is this?
Jeff? All right, world premier.

1698
01:52:16,159 --> 01:52:21,880
All right, let's bring it back
in. I'm good to just go

1699
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:27,920
into it. Yeah, me too. Let me just do this and see.

1700
01:52:29,319 --> 01:52:33,680
I always forget if so calvers one
word, two words, it's soul

1701
01:52:33,720 --> 01:52:36,199
blade. Two words. I think
soul blade is two two words. Right,

1702
01:52:36,319 --> 01:52:40,439
Yeah, you guys are probably thrown
up by the fact that they capitalized

1703
01:52:41,199 --> 01:52:45,880
for a long time. Two words. Do they no longer capitalize the sea?

1704
01:52:45,119 --> 01:52:50,560
I think officially. Yeah, it's
all just one word, no capital

1705
01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:57,560
c no fair enough, you grow
up. All right. Let me just

1706
01:52:57,880 --> 01:53:01,439
get us our cameras fixed and then
we'll get right back into it. Get

1707
01:53:01,520 --> 01:53:08,640
that camera fixed, broh, Yes, all right, now we move that

1708
01:53:08,800 --> 01:53:14,880
there, taller, we know,
how are we break? We never got

1709
01:53:14,960 --> 01:53:19,680
that? Uh, we never got
a Mike never asked. We'll get there,

1710
01:53:20,199 --> 01:53:27,039
We'll get there. I need Okay, let's see here. I think

1711
01:53:27,079 --> 01:53:29,119
I'll bring us back in after a
short silence,
