00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.680
I thought about doing the two hand

15
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:23.959
like three dimensional three is going to
be in three D three three D.

Nebraska, Will, we'll just sit up

22
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:55.159
a spit take on small talk,
Will Smith? Is that how boring your

23
00:01:55.159 --> 00:02:01.040
podcast is? I miss my mouth
sarcasm. That's hysterical. I was I

24
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:07.480
was already in a Nebraska state of
mind? Pat, No, you're not.

25
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.960
You're all jay Z. You're getting
your rappers confused. Now, Nebraska

26
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.520
state of mind, isn't? I
thought that was Jeff Christmins here. Yeah,

27
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:19.080
that's better. That's a NAS song, is it? Damn? I

28
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:22.400
know? No, No, No, that's it's a NAS Braska state of

29
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:29.319
mind. Yeah, that's pretty good. That's the album University when music.

30
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:32.439
I like it when Nas puts his
name into other words. Yeah, it's

31
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:38.879
it's He's like, and I'm gonna
put my name inmise you guys, Yep,

32
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:45.159
it's like what else nostradamis? That
is? That is the example that

33
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:51.080
leaps to mind. Welcome to nos
Vember, Brad shoemakers here. Yeah,

34
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.680
that's that's that's of the caliber.
Yes, what is someone doing NOS member?

35
00:02:55.479 --> 00:03:02.479
Keep it hoods wait wrong? Yeah, keep a hood a ball until

36
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:08.520
you fall. I don't know,
be a street poet, street streets disciple.

37
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:13.800
Do you think you have that in
you? No, Patrick, it's

38
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:15.879
the it's the week of Thanksgiving,
which means that it's a three day week

39
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:23.120
here in America, which I'm learning, Uh, after making assumptions brutally rebuffed.

40
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:24.560
Uh. Yeah, the rest of
the country or the rest of the

41
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:30.039
world could not give less of a
fuck and no less about even the rest

42
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:31.680
of the continent. Yeah, it's
like it's like Boxing Day. When that

43
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:37.159
happens, I'm always surprised, Like
every year I'm Boxing Day. It's like,

44
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:39.599
No, I don't know. That's
I guess. Is that response you

45
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:43.479
know, I'm saying, that's the
response of like when someone says to you,

46
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.360
like, what's up with fucking Like
when when Adams says, like,

47
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:50.360
what's up with having dinner at like
two in the afternoon for Thanksgiving? That's

48
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:52.800
weird? It's like, No,
it's Thanksgiving, it's what you do.

49
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:54.520
What are you talking about? You
make room for sandwiches. Shut up.

50
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:58.360
It is weird eating that early and
having that be the last meal of the

51
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.240
day is a little stres day.
That's not it. Not y Yeah,

52
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.599
that's that's the thing. That's the
fallace. Don't think of it as dinner,

53
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:08.240
you do. You do that then, so you have room for sandwiches

54
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.879
at like six thirty or seven.
I don't know. I like actually eating

55
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.719
later than two. I think that's
like, yeah, like two thirty,

56
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.839
two forty five. The reason you
want to get it out of the way

57
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:21.639
early because then you want like the
two or three like sandwich stops as the

58
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:25.839
evening progressive, Like I gotta roll
back to the kitchen. It's like there's

59
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.759
still a pie in there. That's
always been a day after thing for me.

60
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.399
Really, you don't do the sandwich
later or like three five days after?

61
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:36.120
Yeah, yeah, I mean he
starts off so good, Like the

62
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:41.079
big family Thanksgiving thing is always like
super early, and I always just look

63
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.439
at it as weird. But at
the same time, it's like a good

64
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.839
thing because it means you get to
leave earlier. Well, it's good enough

65
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.639
to be on the road at like
eight o'clock at night on Thanksgiving, sure,

66
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:54.160
because everybody's either really shit faced or
yeah, I gotta I gotta travel,

67
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.959
so I kind of But here's the
real thing. I go to Nebraska,

68
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.720
Nebraska. I usually come back Huskers. I usually come back like a

69
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.600
Thanksgiving. Yeah, Thanksgiving, that's
where it started. Really, you know

70
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:09.240
what, I bet they actually have
a better Thanksgiving and brass plymouth rock Nebraska,

71
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:13.360
right, yeah, yeah, accurate, Yeah, you know, Nebraska,

72
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.279
Nebraska Land. I'm probably gonna spend
a lot of times like Native American

73
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:24.160
casinos. I've done Thanksgiving in casinos. It's good. It's usually word Katie'

74
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.319
family ends up in a casino by
the end of thanks every night. This

75
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:30.639
is my my first Thanksgiving not going
into Fresno in about a decade. So

76
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:32.480
how was good or bad? Thing? How is? How was casino?

77
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:36.240
Punkin pipe? Bitter Sweet? Don't
eat at the casino, no, no,

78
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.560
no, no, no, no, no, you might. You

79
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:42.120
might sneak a sandwich, though we
do common to sneak a thanks sand sandwich

80
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:46.279
into the casino because they have no
food rules and casinos I didn't all probably

81
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:51.399
huh pab need you too nice to
just showing it down in front of the

82
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:54.839
slob machine. These thing is when
I come back, I usually come back

83
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:59.360
with like like plastic bags full of
Thanksgiving stuff because I don't have the advantage

84
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.279
of like just being able to conveniently
go home with the leftovers. Usually,

85
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.360
you know, sometimes if the family
that is hosting is nice enough to doull

86
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:08.240
that out to the people leaving,
I was always bring I go. I

87
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:11.639
go through the airport with tons of
Thanksgiving stuff. Wow, chicken and stuff.

88
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.279
Do they give you any do they
give you any trouble? I imagine

89
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:15.920
TSA is like like that. It's
I mean, do you have to put

90
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:21.040
the gravy and three oiners? It's
more it's more jealousy actually, like they

91
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:25.000
look at like that's yeah. I
wish they don't go like that's fluid.

92
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:27.800
You can't bring You can't bring all
that gravy with you. I can't bring

93
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:30.959
all that. You gotta check the
gravyeck the gravy. Turkey's fine, but

94
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:33.680
you gotta check that gravy. I
don't think we take the gravy on.

95
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:41.279
We think I'll just the chicken the
solids. But maybe maybe I'll keep saying

96
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:44.839
chicken and you're freaking me out,
turkey, Okay, I want to make

97
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.439
sure. I'm sure there wasn't some
weird subset of people like, no,

98
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:51.839
we're gonna have no Braska, it's
a chicken, that's race. Come on,

99
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:58.480
I have a post Thanksgiving philosophical question. Yes, uh uh Turkey sandwich

100
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.480
or ham sandwich Turkey village? Well, Ham is Christmas man? Really,

101
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:05.720
I don't even really like, you
know what we have spiral slice. Maybe

102
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:08.959
I always want like one, like
one big slice of ham, and then

103
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:10.920
I'm like by the end of it, I'm like, yeah, I've had

104
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:14.120
my hand for him for the year. For me either either, I'm just

105
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:15.240
like it's like the turkey. I'm
not even going to come for the Churcken,

106
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.279
come for the stuffing. So it's
like, yeah, I'll have a

107
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.399
little bit of turkey, but we
have we have both for both. So

108
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:24.199
do you do the country ham or
do you do the spiral slice? Funny

109
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:27.560
Ham? Country Ham is a Christmas
morning thing and that's see, that's what

110
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:31.040
we always do it anymore and you'll
be dead. Yeah it's morning ham salt,

111
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:40.199
No morning Ham, you fry it
up and christ it's real country.

112
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.639
I'm going to blow your mind.
But Ham is whatever Ham you want it

113
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:46.639
to be whenever you want it.
Hamood's like bacon. It's not like you

114
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:48.639
need to say, like, no, this ham is only for breakfasting.

115
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:51.040
No, you have it at breakfast. It becomes breakfast kind of pizza.

116
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:54.360
Do you have a cold? You
have a warm? Yeah? Do you

117
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:57.439
guys do the open face turkey sandwich
with like the stuffing in the gravy on

118
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:01.639
top? No, yeah I do. Yeah, it's gonna bena be mobile.

119
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.720
Yeah. Well, I'm not making
a clean enough sandwich to make it

120
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.240
mobile, like it's yeah, I
like a dagg Wood Saniel. I'm piling

121
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.560
filth on a plate and then shoving
it all inside me. Yeah, I

122
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:18.720
got mashed potatoes in there sometimes too. I can't make a fisgiving sandwich without

123
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.160
making a huge mess. Come on, guys, it's America for christ sakes.

124
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.519
But then, how are you making
enough of a mess if it's still

125
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:26.839
mobile? Like, I just think
you haven't gone far enough. If you're

126
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:31.639
able to there's enough, there's just
it's just it's the construction. It's a

127
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:33.120
wearing gloves. Well, here's the
question. She's like going, everyone bread,

128
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.279
are you using white? Oh?
Yeah, white, just just wonder

129
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:37.360
bread. Yeah, Okay, then
yeah, you need like a plate and

130
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.600
napkins and a shower. Yeah for
that to work. Are you using like

131
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:45.519
construction material? No, like a
sour dough roll so that you can like

132
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:50.360
hollow out and then like fill with
the stuff. Do you you hollow out?

133
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.679
Oh? Absolutely, hollow out.
What do you do with the rest

134
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.320
of the Throw that shit away?
And don't need that bread man like toast

135
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.600
that put in your soup or something. I'll throw it outside, much like

136
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:03.759
my sacrificial pancakes. We saw a
seagull with a full bagel this morning.

137
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:09.840
Yeah, we went to the best
Buy this morning and there was a seagull

138
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.600
who was it was on top of
the fucking world at an entire bagel.

139
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.200
The other birds were losing it was
flying away with it. It was like

140
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:24.039
I have a whole baby in his
mouth, like late I'm not even theirs

141
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:30.360
when they fly away jets after burner. I'm impressed the seagull could lift a

142
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:31.919
bagel. Man, it was Siagulls
are pretty big. Yeah. I don't

143
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.519
know if you've seen him around here, but the bagels not specially when they're

144
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:41.000
getting bagels. Imagine how true that's
the thing he had to have already had

145
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.120
a bagel to be strong enough to
carry that band. What would you do

146
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.120
if this was not his This was
not history bake. So he was protecting

147
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:50.559
his strength, prohibiting the other birds
from getting the bagel. Absolutely, yeah,

148
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.600
absolutely denial. The early seagull gets
the bagel. That's yeah, it's

149
00:09:54.600 --> 00:10:01.639
the origin of that one Snopes.
So do you guys roast turkeys? Is

150
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:03.080
it roast turkey all around the table
here or is it like, do you

151
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:07.799
got anybody try to try the fry
we have? We have fried turkeys for

152
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.200
several years. Yes, Okay,
are you good because you're hosting Thanksgiving less

153
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:13.679
unless you have a spare fry?
Are you want to? It's at Norm's

154
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:18.000
house. Okay, we fried turkeys
on on Friday. Yeah, some of

155
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:22.679
that that was that was good.
But I'll tell you what that smoked turkey

156
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.720
that we got, Yeah, Joe
Are provided from text. I actually never

157
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.159
heard the name. God bless you
Joe Are, and also fuck you Joe

158
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:35.039
Are. That thing is it is
savage? So yeah, it is incredible.

159
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.360
So that thing showed up, I
guess Thursday Thursday. So I decided

160
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.559
that like we needed to get it
out of here. Yeah, that was

161
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:46.159
a good move. Because you were
bringing in two turkeys already, and it

162
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.000
was just gonna be turkey chaos,
like, no one's gonna touch this turkey.

163
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.559
Yeah. So I asked around,
like, hey, someone want to

164
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:52.879
like split up this turkey, and
everyone was like get that thing out of

165
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:54.879
here, except for Ryan. He
was like, you can't take that turkey

166
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.639
home? So home. I realized
that the turkey had already been passed on

167
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.240
by every one else, so yeah, goodall. So I took that turkey

168
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:07.200
home and cut into it over the
weekend and it almost killed me. Sandwiches

169
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.600
cut a leg off with horror and
then started cutting like pieces off the breast

170
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:18.279
and getting in on that about a
third of it cold. Yeah, so

171
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:20.600
that that smoked turkey is supposed to
beating either cold or temperature. Yeah.

172
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.679
And and on the their site for
this, the company that sells these turkeys,

173
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.679
like if you must heat it up, and then and then gave yourself

174
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:33.240
in a situation situation where you have
to heat it up, Yeah, here's

175
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:35.720
what you need to do. And
it was a really elaborate process and and

176
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:37.960
even then it sounded like it was
more aimed at thawing it out in case

177
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.600
you would frozen its The black skin
on that thing was unlike anything I've ever

178
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:48.200
seen, like spoke some salty mayhem. It looked really good. It was

179
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:50.519
so on like Sunday, I go
and grab the rest of the I said,

180
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.840
Ryan, it texts like Saturday night, you know I you've gotten it

181
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.279
to say, like you need to
save me from this fucking turkey or I'm

182
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.000
gonna bring it to you on Monday
if I live that long. So no,

183
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:03.120
he when he handed to me,
he said, be careful with this,

184
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:07.240
and he meant it power and yeah. And when I got home,

185
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:09.840
I had maybe it's like a couple
of slices off the breast, not a

186
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.519
huge amount of it, just that
much on Sunday. My face for the

187
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.759
rest of the day smelled like a
camp fire. Just the smokiness was so

188
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:20.159
goddamn intense, and I was worried
about I was getting that stuff that I

189
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.320
was just like, I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna be able to have turkey

190
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:24.600
next week. You don't want to. It was just like this is this

191
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:30.639
is so hardcore? Yeah it was. It was to back away from that

192
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:31.600
thing. I throw it back in
the in the sack and be like you

193
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.440
come get this. It's good stuff. So God, yeah, God,

194
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:41.159
bless you turkey that smoked turkey.
I don't know, just talking about games

195
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:45.519
to talking about games, okay,
any turkey games, talking about some turkey

196
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.600
games. Game with turkeys once,
Yeah, man was a good game.

197
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.799
Four games, the Turkey first and
Shooter played. I played too much of

198
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:56.799
that game. Probably I played a
lot. If you played a N sixty

199
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:01.960
four south Park game, he probably
screwed up somewhere. I was at the

200
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:05.559
age where it seemed funny I had
to write about it. So there was

201
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.000
a cart racing game that was real
bad that came out on a million platforms,

202
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.840
the Dreamcast version. Right, you
guys, you guys see that documentary

203
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:18.840
about how they make south Park a
couplet. I just watched it. It's

204
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:20.399
pretty awesome, and I know about
the process. It's crazy. It's insane.

205
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:26.120
Uh No, it just a you
know what it is on Netflix is

206
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:30.440
The Captains. Oh yes, I
watched about five minutes of that and I

207
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:33.559
had to turn off. I could
not handle it because it was not handle

208
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:37.399
it. William Shatner goes around and
it has like sit down, chatty interviews

209
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:41.559
with all of the other Star Trek
captains. I don't like that. No,

210
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:45.039
it's amazing. Watched the whole thing. I can't, yeah, and

211
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:46.480
I want to. I got about
five minutes into Patrick Stewart and I was

212
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:48.240
just like, Nope, sorry,
I can't do this. I don't know.

213
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:50.720
It's it's it's amiable though, it
is. It is. It's just

214
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.759
it's it's a weird mind fuck it
is. It's a hard thing to to

215
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:56.279
sell it. It's not it's not
hard. It's not like it's hard to

216
00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.279
watch. It's not like it's like, oh this is cringey. No no,

217
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.639
no, no, no, no, it's just mind blowing. Like

218
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:05.960
I can't believe these two are talking
and you know there's having like actory conversations

219
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.679
that the thing Shatner is we talk
about craft a little bit. Shatner the

220
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:13.679
man is divorced enough from James Kirk, the character, Yeah, that you

221
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.080
can kind of like watch him bumble
around and do whatever. But then you

222
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:20.080
see Patrick Stewart, who basically still
looks like Picard, yeah, except you

223
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.960
know, wandering around his like like
kind of French villa. Yeah. Yeah,

224
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.960
he's got a real pastoral like kind
of British foot with all these crops

225
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.559
everywhere and gardens and stuff. Is
it like it's like the last episode next

226
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.279
year kind of yeah, I just
I couldn't. I couldn't, okay,

227
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:39.360
And then came old Group. Then
you know what they'll talk about NTSF,

228
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:43.799
SDSUV the whole time, probably probably
him before then. You know what's great

229
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.559
is that he goes all the way
and he even gets Chris what's his name,

230
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.840
Christopher Pine from the New one Greenwood
in there? Uh bo Pine okay,

231
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:56.039
from from the Abrams movie. Like
even he even talks to him at

232
00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:58.559
the end of the they like,
I think you meant Pike No, no,

233
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:00.919
no, because he's like a big
thing between them. Were like because

234
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:05.200
because we wanted to be in it, and like Abrams wanted to be in

235
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:07.399
it, but then like there was
some weird falling out and then Abrams wanted

236
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.679
him in. Yeah, it was
if you if you go back and watch

237
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.039
the timeline, like they there was
like a he's gonna be in it,

238
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:15.720
He's not gonna be in it for
like a whole year, and then like

239
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.320
shooting just because that they shot Star
Trek when it was the writer strike,

240
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:22.600
so at a certain point, like
they couldn't shoehorm him into the movie,

241
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.399
and like there was some bitterness what
I thought Shatner didn't like the whole idea

242
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:31.759
of rhet conning the first universe out
of existence. He's pretty money, figured

243
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:33.559
out money relevance. Like, he
was on Boston Legal for a while and

244
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:37.759
then that show went off there,
so he's got to find Yeah, nothing

245
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.480
to what happened to what happened to
ship? My dad says that done canceled

246
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:46.039
cancer quickly. He was really good
on Boston Legal though it was a TV

247
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:48.919
show based on a Twitter account.
Didn't make it. I honestly, I

248
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.879
made it a whole season, man, didn He Crane almost rivals James Kirk

249
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.600
and the point in the in the
duo of him and James Spader, that

250
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:02.440
was a that was a hell of
a show. Yeah, James Spader's pretty

251
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:06.279
gray. Yeah, there's more games
with James Spader. We saw? Are

252
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:08.960
there any games James Spader? Just
Spader Man? Yeah, here's the voice.

253
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:15.080
I still I still can't get over
you want to bet that? Yeah,

254
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.440
eating outside? Were eating outside?
Eddie Rickenbacker's rolling down the street wearing

255
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:21.919
a fedora, Like, holy fuck, that was James Spader. He's wearing

256
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:26.679
a fedor. Nice kind of a
winter day. Think you've been out shopping

257
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.279
and it was just here San Francisco. Wow, like randomly second there,

258
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:32.720
like holy fuck, what are we
gonna do to get James Spader host the

259
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:34.879
VGs. He's got to be in
a game. Who's hosting it now?

260
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:40.159
Not James Spader? Yeah, not
James fucking no idea? Who's hosting it

261
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:41.399
this year? I don't know.
I don't think they've said you have.

262
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:45.679
Let's just say Jack Black. I
was gonna say it's just Jack Black or

263
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:52.000
like a cartoon kind kind of Red
Bull can hosting awards show? No,

264
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:57.480
but anas can can't? Of Saints
Flow there it is, I like the

265
00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:00.120
Saints Flow. Did you open one
of those? I drank like three of

266
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:04.799
them? How many do we have
three of them? Fuck face? They're

267
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:10.279
all said to me, but they
send to you say it's Flow Energy drinks.

268
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:11.599
You can drink them. Do you
drink the other thing that was in

269
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:17.640
that package? Not yet? I
opened it, but I haven't drank all

270
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:19.480
of it yet. That's all of
it. I haven't had like a like

271
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.680
a drink out of it. Yes. Oh during the no no, no,

272
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:27.319
no no no. That was like
over a weekend or something it was

273
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:33.200
after them. Hey, Will Smith, all, Ryan Davis, let's gone.

274
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:36.319
Should I talk about Witcher two?
Have you been playing with two?

275
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:38.279
You're in the Butcher two seat,
so I haven't play. I played the

276
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:41.640
first twenty everything you know about we
should say if any Caravell is on a

277
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:45.599
vacation, Yeah, I'm here.
Why that's why he's not here. I

278
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:48.319
don't think I can fill this seat. No, I'm pretty sure. I

279
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:52.119
know it's that's an absolute truth.
It's not that's not an issue of speculation

280
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.839
or No. I'm I'm just here
to put words into a microphone. We

281
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:00.680
just need something to fill that fill
anything at all. Yeah, could be

282
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:02.759
goody. In fact, it's better
if it's if I could I, if

283
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:04.680
we could afford it, I would
just play yakety Sacks in that channel for

284
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:10.559
the next ninety minutes. But it's
too expensive. Okay, public domain yet

285
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:12.720
No, yakety Sacks belongs to everyone. It should, but not too.

286
00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:15.559
It turns out if you play yakety
Sacks too much, then then they come

287
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:18.480
after you, just like the Heavy
It's more than even it's more so than

288
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:22.240
even the birthday song. We don't
don't we get like twenty nine seconds though

289
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:25.880
also like double Dutch bus. I
don't know how that's not public domain yet.

290
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:26.839
But yeah, no, I never
played the Witcher. Okay, what

291
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:30.839
about the Witch? Nope? What
have you been playing with, Smith?

292
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.839
I've been playing a lot of Skyrim, played some Saints Right last night,

293
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:37.519
a little bit of Modern Warfare three
multiplayer only. All right, well,

294
00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:41.519
let's talk about what do you think
of Skyrim? I think it's fucking awesome.

295
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:44.839
What are you playing as? I
am playing? I am playing as

296
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:48.960
a a dark elf, heavy with
a mace. Dark and fire els look

297
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:52.680
too severe in that game. Well, I liked being like I saw that

298
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:56.200
there was a fire bonus you played
as a dark elf. I thought,

299
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:57.559
oh, this is a great idea. And then it turns out that everybody

300
00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:00.279
in that game hates me becase you're
a ark because I'm a dark else.

301
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:04.000
Ye yeah, yeah, I've never
been totally sold on the character design in

302
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:07.319
those games. I don't know what
it is, but the facial features,

303
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:11.640
like the angularity, something a little
off putting. I like the people,

304
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:15.160
and I even like the cat people
and the lizard people, but it's mainly

305
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:17.720
the elves. The elves are too
severe. The orcs are good. I

306
00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:19.960
think actually the orcs look like I
actually like the way they downplay the Orcs,

307
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:23.440
like they're not like super deformed,
super beastly. Yeah, they're not

308
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:26.160
monstrous. It's like that's a dude
that kind of has a heavy joke,

309
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:30.319
a little tusk. Yeah, it's
like original serious clingons. Yeah, it's

310
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:33.240
like they got kind of bad teeth
and it's a little heavier. But they're

311
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:37.279
not like bright green. It's sort
of more of just like there's a drabness

312
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:40.079
to the skin tone, Like I
actually think that does they do that?

313
00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:41.519
Really? Really els look more like
aliens? They do. They look like

314
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:45.079
great, which is why I picked
one. Yeah, yeah, if you

315
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:48.880
if you make an else, but
the truth is out there for low like

316
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.640
all of them, they all look
like but I think I ended up picking

317
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:56.720
their eyes. Their eyes are super
big and wide set and like a bunch

318
00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:59.319
of the eye when you're making the
character a bunch of the eye. Colors

319
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:03.160
don't even have it's just like like
dark dark all the way across or corneas

320
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:07.000
like like cataracts or red eyes.
Yeah. I just decided to roll a

321
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:11.799
white supremacist. So okay, so
you're a Nord Yeah, okay, how's

322
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:14.440
it going well for you and not
so much. The game locked up during

323
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:18.200
the opening sequences after I created my
dude, so playing an Xbox xbox like

324
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.160
like literally like still ride around where
it locked up for me the first time

325
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:25.599
being chased from being chased by the
dragon. Yep, that was my second

326
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:27.480
lock up. It locked up for
me wow before then on a loading screen

327
00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:33.799
before it even loaded into the carriage
and the opening part of the game,

328
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:34.960
and then it locked up a second
time with the dragon. Yeah. I

329
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.759
was like, oh, but this
is already going great. I didn't see

330
00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:41.200
a carriage, like, I didn't
get that. I was still jumping around

331
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.599
town, dude, like running from
starting a carriage. Yeah, okay,

332
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:48.759
okay, so you actually I locked
up, Like okay, I start lock

333
00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:53.200
up. The thing is like I
didn't play my game until I hadn't loaded

334
00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:56.279
up sky Rim at all until last
night. And that's after like the patches

335
00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:00.599
and ship had come out on three
sixties, So it was still I get

336
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:03.119
patched and then it ran and then
it locked up. Well, see the

337
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:04.839
patch patch is still coming. I'm
kind of waiting for that. Like I

338
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:08.000
stopped playing it, stopped playing it, like I missed to wean myself off

339
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:11.160
my like two hours a nine a
night. So like I've kind of like

340
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:14.680
the addiction is gone, and I'll
just wait till that patches out and then

341
00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:17.559
I'll go back to it. Well, they passed too many comparison shots.

342
00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:22.200
They patched the PC last night,
but but it took away all of the

343
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:26.200
like the memory mods and stuff like
that. So it has to be an

344
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:30.640
authorized team executable now, so all
that like loading memory for the memory and

345
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:36.799
all that stuff. Executive, executable, executable, executable, executable, executable,

346
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:51.279
what it's an executable? What fuck
you say? Executable exactly executable,

347
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:56.440
executable. Nah, I'm pretty sure
this isn't okay for you. No,

348
00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:02.319
not on this. How do you
say it's acutable if you're executable something that

349
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:11.039
what are you talking about? An
ex executor executor will have an excellent So

350
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:14.880
you shaking an argument for the other. I don't hear a difference. Say

351
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:23.640
it again, executable EXCU there's no
there's no Z and ex executable executable will

352
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:29.279
In English, syllables have varying lovels
of stress. I hate you, guys.

353
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:30.759
It's the first time someone said this. No one has said, hey,

354
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:34.200
will you say this word? Real? Fucking weird. Nobody's ever said

355
00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:37.079
that to me. Nobody ever fucking
tells me that shill it comes say that

356
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:41.240
word real fucking The only thing that
I ever heard was a sous it comes

357
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:44.920
up, that comes up. Oh
my god, you say that. You

358
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.279
say that about every third tested podcast. But I've never I've never Nobody said

359
00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:52.640
I've never said anything. I've never
said anything. Man, I was someone

360
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:59.920
was picked up on it. That's
he's secret British because that was going to

361
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:08.079
Gary too much. Can I'm damn
it, it's too late. Executable,

362
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:12.079
executable. Yeah, it's been real
solid on the PC. That's all I'm

363
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:17.039
saying. Oh yeah, this is
another thing if you done the thing that

364
00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:19.640
everyone else seems to be doing and
fucking it up to your TV. Yeah

365
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:23.359
yeah, Yeah, it's a fucking
awes dude. It looks about twenty ft

366
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:27.319
HDMI cable. There's a hole in
my wall between the office and the and

367
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:32.160
the living room where like the phone
jack is that I don't use. So

368
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:34.240
I just took the plate covers off
and ran the cord through the hole and

369
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:38.359
uh and use a wireless Xbox V
sixty controller and it is awesome. How

370
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:41.960
long can M cable beat. I'm
in the process of that right now.

371
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:45.839
It seems like the consensus it is
about twenty five feet is where it tops

372
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:48.759
out. Okay, you could go
longer, so it's like fifteen meters ten

373
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:51.920
meters. The weird thing is,
like, it's it's not that it's not

374
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:55.680
it's just gonna stop working. It's
that the resolution you can do reliably goes

375
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:57.599
down. So like, okay,
at like thirty thirty five feet, you

376
00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:00.960
might not be able to do ten
ADP and more, but you could probably

377
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.680
you could still do seven twenty.
You could get a signal booster, yeah

378
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:06.880
you can, and Monte Price sells
those. Yeah, they're kind of expensive,

379
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:10.400
they're like thirty probably. It's my
office is clear on the other side

380
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:12.640
of the house. That's my problem
too. So well, I'm just gonna

381
00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:15.759
run a long ass cable down the
hall. Yeah, the long ass cable

382
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:19.240
down the hall. It's okay.
And the nice thing is it it'll carry

383
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:22.720
audio too. Yeah, so you
have to manually go into the Windows sound

384
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:29.359
control panel and change like which is
ok yeah, but if you so,

385
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:33.119
those Invidia cards do have audio out
on there, and they're effectively also sound

386
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:36.079
cards. Now well so, but
The only trick is the video cards have

387
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:38.920
a mini or micro h GMI.
It's the real ones. It's mini,

388
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:44.920
so you have to actually get an
adapter. Yeah, it comes with one.

389
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:48.079
Yeah, yeah, I guess it
did. Retail video cards generally come

390
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:52.119
with one. I broke mine last
weekend because it's easy because if you forget

391
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:55.319
that cable is there and you trip
over that little that little adapter will just

392
00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:57.720
snap in a half. Yeah.
But they're like two dollars from mount of

393
00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:00.000
Price, so fought more. And
how much was your long cable? Like

394
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.759
five bucks or something? Twelve bucks? The one I got was a twenty

395
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:07.319
two gauge okay for about thirty bucks
for twenty five footer. Yeah, it

396
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:10.960
seems right from from Monoprice. Yeah. And and and the wireless h the

397
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:15.759
wireless Xbox controller dongle. Yeah,
so you can just use your normal Xbox

398
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:18.480
wireless controllers with the PC I got
a long time ago when they were kind

399
00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:23.079
of expensive. Apparently they're brad you're
saying, hard to find them, borrowing

400
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:26.519
Jeffs right now until I find my
own. But Microsoft only sells them in

401
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:30.119
a bundle with a controller. And
if you already have enough controllers, that's

402
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.160
kind of Yeah, it's kind of
annoying to have to spend like fifty bucks

403
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:36.480
to get just the adapter, but
they still saw that way. Yeah.

404
00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:38.279
But the weird thing is an Amazon
has a bunch of like gray market and

405
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:42.720
knockoff ones. Well I think that
aren't exactly Microsoft made. There's some of

406
00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:45.319
those, and then it also seems
like there's some that are like just white

407
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:49.119
box, where somebody buys the controller
with the bundle and then splits them out

408
00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:53.319
and sell them both separately, which
I guess they can make five bucks per

409
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:59.599
stretcher. Yeah, So I mean
that's just weird. Though it's a good

410
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:00.920
expense works, it's a great I
mean, it's awesome though. When you

411
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:03.759
get it working, it is like
I have a fifty eight inch TV,

412
00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:10.240
the big sound in the living room. It's like having a console that basically

413
00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:17.559
does TENDPI text and stuff look on
everything. Everything is Windows Desktop. Like,

414
00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:19.920
could you theoretically, if you really
wanted to, could just use that

415
00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:23.400
as your primary monitor. You could. It's the further out you get,

416
00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:27.319
the hairrier the text get. Because
the way they basically they what I've been

417
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:32.240
told is that they arrange subpixels differently
for TVs than for monitors. It looks

418
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:33.640
that way, so you end up
like you can adjust, you can do

419
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:37.880
the true type tuner on Windows and
it'll kind of help with that problem.

420
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:41.799
I haven't done that because I still
use the monitor in the other room.

421
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:45.079
But like in game, there's no
problems. It really looks great because I

422
00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:48.960
mean everything in games is designed towards
right sitting at a distance anyway. But

423
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:52.920
I really wish that's like the kind
of fabled Steam ten foot interface thing has

424
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:56.279
been rumored for a while, well, there was a I wish they would

425
00:26:56.480 --> 00:27:00.920
make that happen. Yeah, launching
launching games from team from like ten feet

426
00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:02.880
away. That would that would make
it tough. That would make the whole

427
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:06.119
notion of this seem a lot more
attractive to me. And I just like,

428
00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:08.960
Okay, I don't I don't have
to Jerry rig this anymore. I

429
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:11.640
can just like I was. I
was sitting there with boots straight like,

430
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.680
I was sitting there with my Windows
phone using that as like a touchpad mouse

431
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:18.640
device like and trying to click on
those tiny little little game names away.

432
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:22.240
The thing I end up doing is
literally just getting up. I have it

433
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:26.359
mirroring the displays on both monitor and
TV. So then I'd go into the

434
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:32.440
office, set everything up and and
basically start the game and then realize I

435
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:34.440
forgot to change audio, so I
quit the game and then change the audio.

436
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:37.039
And then I realized I didn't have
this controller SYNCD up, so I

437
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:41.079
sync up the I end up starting
the game like three or four times.

438
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:44.079
So then once I get it,
I just leave the game running. That's

439
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:47.400
why I have like fifty hours played
in Skyrim right now, when I've probably

440
00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:49.319
only played maybe twenty because I just
leave it running in the background. So

441
00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:52.720
when I'm ready to play a switch
abatter. It's not it's not a perfect

442
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:56.279
solution. Like my monitor and on
my PC is not as high rose as

443
00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:57.720
my TV, so I can't mirror
the displays. Oh, I have to

444
00:27:57.799 --> 00:28:00.960
just switch. Yeah, which to
me basically like switching the displays on the

445
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:03.759
PC and then just knowing that I
have to tab and then enter to confirm

446
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.720
it because I can't see the screen
anymore. Well, there's a there's a

447
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:11.960
keyboard short cut too. You can
hit Windows P on Win seven and Vista

448
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:18.759
to change between single monitor, duplicate
projector secondary input only and extend displays.

449
00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:22.559
So yeah, you just cycle through
them. You just cycle through them until

450
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:26.200
the one you want. One of
jamp ons famous keyboard shortcuts. Yeah,

451
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:27.880
brought to you by It's what I
bring to the table here Will Smith.

452
00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:32.480
Yeah, so you like Skyrim,
Skyron's Good Saints Row up and I played

453
00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:33.880
some Saints row last night. That
works great on the on the TV two

454
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:37.759
how far and it hits row Are
maybe an hour I finished. I did

455
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:41.640
the first one of the like the
doctor gank, Yeah, kind of side

456
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.079
mission. Still there's still like some
side missions to be introduced. I'm still

457
00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:48.519
for the story really gets Yeah,
I haven't like taken over a whole area

458
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:52.000
yet. I'm maybe it takes a
while. It seems like, yeah,

459
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:56.160
it's the game's crazy. It's like
in a kind of fun way. You

460
00:28:56.279 --> 00:28:57.519
have like six hours of that last
night. Yeah, Patrick finished it.

461
00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:00.680
We need to be careful around Brad
because he gets laid it, but he

462
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:06.680
is now he is now sold based
on everyone else's lacy because they're I'm sure

463
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:08.559
that everyone's everyone. You can now
maybe articulate the problem that Jeff and I

464
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:11.880
had when we first brought this game
here and said, like, guys,

465
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:15.920
it's really crazy, and got kind
of crickets. I was trying to because,

466
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:17.559
like you know, we all have
our own sense of humor, and

467
00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:18.960
I could I could see in the
first hour or two, like how this

468
00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:22.400
fit for both of you guys.
It was like, well, maybe this

469
00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:25.400
just is like I get why this
is crazy and get why it's weird and

470
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:26.559
it's fun. Yeah, but maybe
it's just clicking more for you guys,

471
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:30.079
and what's for me. It's like
I'm having fun, but I don't know,

472
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:32.960
like I'm just not I'm not seeing
where I get pushed in this other

473
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:38.319
realm of just what. Yeah,
And then last night, about two thirds

474
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:40.960
of the game, I want to
say it's Mission thirty four. Like I

475
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:45.519
want to say specifically, is that
there is a mission where it's just Again,

476
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:48.119
I don't want to say it because
you can't. You have to experience

477
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:51.519
it and see it for yourself.
Well, mostly I don't want to spoil

478
00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:52.480
for Brad if at this point he
is committed to it. But I feel

479
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:55.799
like next week I'm going to have
to start saying some of the things just

480
00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:59.279
because if you were on the edge, if there are certain things described will

481
00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:02.680
make me sound like a crazy person, like you will not like you won't

482
00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:06.279
believe me like you will. No, No, you're not. You won't

483
00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:08.359
even Yes, things are so crazy
in that game, you won't even believe

484
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:11.440
that the things that are in it
would be in a game. No,

485
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:14.599
it's like, no, why would
you put that. That's that's retarded.

486
00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:15.279
Why would you do that way?
But during the rest of the game,

487
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:18.519
you're doing this, why would you
do that in this part of the game

488
00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:22.279
like that, Wait, and it
manages to make sense, you know,

489
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.640
like the story. Yeah. Yeah, it's not just like, well that

490
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:30.480
was random kind of thing. It's
like, no, there's there is an

491
00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:41.279
internal logic of man's an internal like
this feels like a game. Like sometimes

492
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:44.759
you talk about games where nobody said
no and things go wildly. Of course,

493
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:45.880
this feels like a game when nobody
said no, when it just some

494
00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:49.680
it's just nobody said no to anything
that wasn't boring. If it was boring,

495
00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:53.359
this fuck you get out of my
face, Go make that not boring

496
00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:56.920
and we'll talk. Look like the
way I would describe it as so like

497
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:59.960
in Grand Theft Auto way that series
that the trajectory of that has gone,

498
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.680
especially with four, is that you
get some sort of crazy mission every once

499
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:06.000
in a while to kind of mix
things up and like, hey, this

500
00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:07.400
game is super serious. Now it's
like here's something you know, here's a

501
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:10.400
tank, or here's something crazy we're
gonna do, and it kind of breaks

502
00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:12.400
at tension, like this game just
takes out all the filler and it's like

503
00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:15.480
all those missions are just stacked right
next to each other. There is just

504
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:19.839
there is never a game is like
here's a tank. Yeah. The first

505
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:23.079
this first real mission of the game
is is like here, now you have

506
00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:27.480
uh, you know, you can
call in missile strikes like okay, yeah,

507
00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:30.160
that is one of that is one
of your early game abilities. And

508
00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:36.680
like the parachuting, like the ability
to just jump off of the buildings jumping

509
00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:41.160
go get this crazy bass like mission
mission Yeah, kind of not that good

510
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:45.160
control, but like yeah, but
all the mini games, most of the

511
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:47.480
time you hit this kind of game. The like two thirds of the mini

512
00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:51.359
games are kind of garbage and the
like that tank one is fantastic. Yeah,

513
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:56.039
they're all Yeah, match is no
good. Which one is snatch?

514
00:31:56.119 --> 00:31:59.400
That's where you got to drive around
and pick up the ladies. You just

515
00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:01.079
gotta get your self. So I
got, I got, I finished the

516
00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:06.799
game. Uh, completed all of
the Islands pretty much just like the Saints

517
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:09.160
book stuff is the only stuff that
I haven't done yet, the assassinations,

518
00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:14.279
cars, all that stuff, and
uh yeah, like Jeff said, you

519
00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:17.440
can upgrade your guide to a point
where I just don't take damage anymore from

520
00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:22.559
anything. Okay, Yeah, Like
there's there's like ability upgrades for like takeless

521
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:24.559
damage from fall or from explosion,
or from vehicles or from bullets. You

522
00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:30.319
can also disable the physics, like
yeah, yeah, you can disable ragged

523
00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:34.000
all for your character. I know
it's a shitload of money, but it's

524
00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:36.680
mostly for you to just screw around
with the game to no longer Yeah,

525
00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:39.640
I no longer get ragged allow.
Well, that's because I no longer get

526
00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:44.359
hurt because vehicles and explosions and bullets
and fall damage don't do anything to me

527
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:46.799
anymore. So your level fifty,
you're like, yeah, is that the

528
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:51.079
max level? I don't know.
I think I just yeah, I just

529
00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:52.440
hit fifty because I would say hit
fifty and did all that stuff. I

530
00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:54.400
was at the point I'm like,
all right, I kind of did everything

531
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:57.519
I wanted to do. Yeah,
what's the level where you can call and

532
00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:00.319
a is it a V toll?
Is that how you would pronounce yeah,

533
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:02.400
like thirty six or is that later
that might be around there. Yeah,

534
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:06.240
I don't know. I definitely got
that around the time I finished the game

535
00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:09.960
where I just started chewing through levels. So so yeah, because I got

536
00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:15.279
level seven minutes, like the respect
bonuses and you know, yeah upgrading your

537
00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:19.799
power plant yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, So I just I just want to

538
00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:22.799
I just like upgrading your power plant. Yeah, like your power your power

539
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:27.319
club, yeah crib. Yeah,
that's just one of one of your strongholds,

540
00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:32.480
a power plant, power plant in
someplace that they generate electricity. Yeah,

541
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:37.240
you own it and you have a
penhouse. Wow, it's purple of

542
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:43.079
course, make it bigger, yes, because it also loves like when you

543
00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:45.759
upgrade those things, it's not just
a little bit. It's not just like

544
00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:50.480
oh there's some more dudes out in
front, or like like oh what if

545
00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:52.920
this building was twice as big and
then what if it was twice as big

546
00:33:53.079 --> 00:34:00.519
again? Okay, yeah, so
I love how just months like crazy the

547
00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:02.319
buildings are like you just go going
downtown, like I feel like I've been

548
00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:07.279
fucking Blade Runner fund. It's v
toal Jet in between these giant skyscrapers.

549
00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:10.760
That have like moving billboards, Like
it's like of them have pierced on them.

550
00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:15.320
Yeah, haf of them are advertising
products that belong to you ostensibly.

551
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:20.760
I also like that the game is
constantly rewarding you for even during the boring

552
00:34:20.800 --> 00:34:22.960
parts of the game, So like
when you're when you're just driving from point

553
00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:25.840
A to point B before you have
access to any of the like the flying

554
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:30.400
vehicles, or if you're just not
close enough to a crib to request one,

555
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:31.800
or you don't have a special ability
to just call one in. Yeah,

556
00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:34.719
is it like you know, if
you're if you're driving on the other

557
00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:37.559
side of the street, or if
you're doing traffic, if you like you're

558
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:42.960
you're feeding into the respection wheels,
jumps, there's always things for you to

559
00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:45.400
be doing that kind of takes your
mind enough. The fact that like I

560
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:47.360
am just mindlessly driving for the next
three minutes to get to the next location.

561
00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:51.440
Well, and the driving and the
shooting are both real good for this,

562
00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:53.119
Like, yeah, I think the
driving was really like feels like our

563
00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:57.239
driving games. And also when you're
near like I love that. I hate

564
00:34:57.280 --> 00:34:59.719
the GT series. How anytime you
ne're a cop or anything, if you

565
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:01.599
ex run over someone, or if
you bump into a car, it's immediately

566
00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:06.000
one star. You can fuck up
so much shit without anything happening in this

567
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:07.760
game, like it is so,
it is so, and one star in

568
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:10.159
this game is like it might as
well be zero. It's like, yeah,

569
00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:14.559
they'll shoot at you, but who
cares then if you generate health so

570
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:17.639
quickly, this game is like I
don't just yeah care about these, it's

571
00:35:17.639 --> 00:35:22.039
just a non issue. Ever,
Like gangs are a bigger concern than the

572
00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:24.480
cops ever are, But I just
like that you you know, the luchador

573
00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:28.880
and hacker gangs. Yeah, yeah, I just think you can screw around

574
00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:30.920
without having like gangs. You constantly
have to like shake off the stars and

575
00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:36.079
grant theft auto as soon as it
starts to get here, you just say

576
00:35:36.119 --> 00:35:38.079
you'll have it just a guy or
calling a zombie apocalypse like you can do

577
00:35:38.159 --> 00:35:42.039
like you do all these crazy things
to kind of just keep going at or

578
00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:45.679
maybe just like run into any store
or building that you own, or buy

579
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:49.559
a building you chose that you chose
that route. That's heartless, which how

580
00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:52.079
do you want? Like I can't
even even say, yeah, I agree,

581
00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:57.559
that's crazy cold. You're crazy cold? Sorry, boss, guys have

582
00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:00.519
to go start playing. So you're
gonna play the PC verse and you've got

583
00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:06.199
you've got down ready to go fantastic. Just wait waiting for all these cables

584
00:36:06.199 --> 00:36:09.280
and stuff. I'm sure you know
we'll talk about Saints RO some more later,

585
00:36:09.800 --> 00:36:13.440
but yeah, maybe it's more justify, but yeah, I'm on.

586
00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:16.960
I was as big as skeptic as
any you're you're on teams the first the

587
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:24.519
moment brand came out, I say, hey, you need God damn.

588
00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:30.519
It's yeah, it's nice to be
excited about a game like thoughts and just

589
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:36.480
like no, it's there's someone out
there that's just going balls out like that,

590
00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:37.960
just like you know, we're not
trying to be out. Games is

591
00:36:38.079 --> 00:36:40.960
art what like, No, you're
making games in the middle of nowhere of

592
00:36:42.119 --> 00:36:44.920
Champagne, Illinois. I went to
school there for four years, so I

593
00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:47.800
feel your volition. So they're not
going on down there. This like this

594
00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:51.840
all makes what I think Saints RO. The third is games is art.

595
00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:55.639
It's it is they are embracing the
form. But every video game, yeah

596
00:36:55.760 --> 00:36:59.960
that is accurate that I will give
you to like totally one hundred percent is

597
00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:02.960
a video game. I love that
they're like no, no concern about pretense

598
00:37:04.199 --> 00:37:06.800
or like, how is this gonna
be? Like, no, we're I

599
00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:08.760
really feel like they're making the game
they want to make there and all,

600
00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:14.280
and it makes like Red Fashion Armygeddon
like way more excusable of Like, yeah,

601
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:16.639
that was not so great, but
there was someone was working on this

602
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:22.159
at the same time, so right, I can understand why. Went like,

603
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:23.320
I don't know, We're just gonna
strip out all the open world stuff

604
00:37:23.320 --> 00:37:27.360
and Red Faction. We can get
a game out while you guys work on

605
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:32.239
this Game of the Year content.
Right, yeah, you gotta yeah,

606
00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:37.519
you gotta feel bad. Oh,
we're aliens in a cave over here.

607
00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:39.360
All right, just give us some
of your Mars stuff. We'll see if

608
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:43.480
we can fit it in somewhere.
I don't know. You guys don't even

609
00:37:43.559 --> 00:37:49.880
have a design document. It's just
a pile of code. It's not on

610
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:52.159
your drop box. That's probably not
a good place to keep that. I

611
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:54.920
don't want to go play Saints co
Op. I need I need to go

612
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:58.679
back and do so. Yeah,
we're doing that on team Last week was

613
00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:01.199
super f Is it normal? Is
it just like normal story or is it

614
00:38:02.199 --> 00:38:06.239
so you can get Hord mode as
well, but it's, uh, yeah,

615
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:07.480
whatever do you have to do all
the mission? Because I saw it,

616
00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:09.639
like in the stats it says like
co op missions, so there aren't

617
00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:13.960
anything separate. It's I think he's
just counting what missions you did cooperatively.

618
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:17.400
Right when we played, I was
on a character that I had already done

619
00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:22.000
all the missions that we were doing, so I didn't get any like forward

620
00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:28.360
moving on that stuff. But it
just instances in the leveled Yeah, whoever's

621
00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:30.800
hosting it's there, it's their version
of the world. I can still go

622
00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:34.880
and like take missions and do all
that stuff. But I guess someone was

623
00:38:35.079 --> 00:38:37.159
sa someone on the boards complaining that
he kept joining random co off games and

624
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:40.960
he kept getting into games where the
people had entered or had purchased all the

625
00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:45.800
cheat codes and we're driving out with
that stuff turned on, which then as

626
00:38:45.800 --> 00:38:47.960
soon as you join, it's like
you're not gonna get any achievements or you

627
00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:51.719
know, any any real progress here. You can't save, so it's like

628
00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:58.280
you're not getting to buy all those
Yeah, well, there's an ad cheap

629
00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:00.039
option in there where you can just
type in stuff, so I assume there

630
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:06.360
must be right, But they sold
like a five buck because a three dollar

631
00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:08.719
pack that gave you all the all
the cheat codes and disabled achievements, which

632
00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:12.039
which I figured. I thought that
maybe this game would be like, yeah,

633
00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:13.679
turn on the chee coods you and
still get whatever you want. We

634
00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:17.239
don't care because it's just so carefree
about everything else. It wasn't that hard

635
00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:23.199
to do. Yeah, probably,
yeah, yeah, I could see Microsoft

636
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:29.440
Microsoft fun killers that they are.
Uh we'll swish. Yeah, what else

637
00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:32.760
you're playing? Uh, dude?
I played Minecraft for iOS. Oh time

638
00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:37.639
of games. Okay, I played
Rocket Riot for for iPad. If you

639
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:38.920
played that, I played that on
the Xbox. Oh, it was an

640
00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:42.280
Xbox game, wasn't And it was
a Windows phone game like to that.

641
00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:44.239
That's where I played, but I
can't remember I played before. It was

642
00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:50.039
a Windows phone games without analog sticks. It's well, I paid. It's

643
00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:52.559
okay because you have the fake analog
sticks and they did a pretty good job.

644
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:53.599
I did it on on with it
on his phone. I think it's

645
00:39:53.599 --> 00:39:57.280
just like but with a bigger screen. That's probably a lot more doable.

646
00:39:57.320 --> 00:40:00.199
With the bigger screen you can shoot
rockets more effectively. And it's is this

647
00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:02.960
crazy game. I'd really like the
look of it. I think it's it's

648
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:07.239
got a great soundtrack. Yeah,
uh, that's a big thing. Whatever.

649
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:10.880
I load up a mobile game and
it has virtual controls on the screen,

650
00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:14.360
immediately delete it on the phone.
I do that on the iPad.

651
00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:16.079
I'm okay. It depends whether it's
a precise game or not precise game.

652
00:40:16.519 --> 00:40:21.679
It's not an experience that I want
to have just ever. It's never especially

653
00:40:21.679 --> 00:40:24.239
in the case of Rocket Riot,
where there is a great Xbox Flight Arcade

654
00:40:24.320 --> 00:40:28.920
version. I haven't there an arcade
game that I'm gonna go download that.

655
00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:31.480
Yeah it's a hell of a game. Yeah yeah, never mind. Then,

656
00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:35.000
yeah, that was what I brought
to the table. As usual.

657
00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:37.199
I'm gonna go back to not min
maxing and Skyrim because that's that's the thing

658
00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:39.639
I have a hard time with,
is not min maxing. Yeah, Like

659
00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:43.199
I always did the whole thing where
you like, you look at the best

660
00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:45.360
armor and you say, okay,
I should do light armor, and then

661
00:40:45.719 --> 00:40:47.920
stealth is obviously kind of overpowered,
and I would like I did this for

662
00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:52.559
Oblivion. I did it for Fallout, and I ended up like getting super

663
00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:54.480
pumped up in Honey rifles and Fallout
rifles or whatever, and fall Out,

664
00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:58.599
So then that game got real easy
by the time I was at the end,

665
00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:01.800
and I'm it seems like less of
an issue in sky It is less

666
00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:06.199
of an issue in Skyrim so far, but like I've been intentionally making decisions

667
00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:07.599
that don't end up with me.
Yeah, I mean yeah, yeah,

668
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:12.360
Fallout ends up becoming just this chore
of a combat game because you're just you.

669
00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:15.800
It's a headshot to everything because you've
invested that many skills into to that,

670
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:17.639
and it's just it's useless to do
anything but that. But it's also

671
00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:21.880
a cape walk like it's just not
it's boring, but it's started being boring.

672
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:23.559
Yeah, and then that's why it's
insted of a pure adventure game at

673
00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:28.599
that point because of combat to like
Skyrom doesn't have that. So Skyrom does

674
00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:30.480
not have that problem. Like if
fall if you could default to having decent

675
00:41:31.719 --> 00:41:36.480
shooting mechanics that didn't involve VS,
then that would have made it at least

676
00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:38.599
somewhat meaningful. But in Oblivion you
could end up in the same boat where

677
00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:43.280
you overpowered your character to the point
that you were just stelting around and one

678
00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:45.079
shotting everything and it kind of wasn't
any fun. Anymore. So that's that's

679
00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:49.159
the point I just kind of hit
in Skyrim now. It does now that

680
00:41:49.239 --> 00:41:52.519
I'm now that I'm sneak sixty yeah, and have my one hand up relatively

681
00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:58.119
high as well, I'm just kind
of backstabbing everything roll. I mean,

682
00:41:58.239 --> 00:42:00.199
I'm using a mace, but it's
it's given me the yeah, the six

683
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:05.159
times damage or whatever it is for
sneak attacks. So as long as I

684
00:42:05.239 --> 00:42:07.480
am careful, and it's gotten a
lot easier to be careful over the last

685
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:12.199
like two or three hours, where
I've gotten sneak up pretty high, I

686
00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:15.000
can just stealth my way through full
areas and you know, eventually I get

687
00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:19.159
spotted and then I just I can
still beat the crap out of anything that

688
00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:22.480
comes at me. But yeah,
I p I put like eight hours into

689
00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:24.679
the game on Sunday, so I'm
like thirty five hours in now, and

690
00:42:24.760 --> 00:42:28.559
it's I'm sure there'll be some some
suffer stuff later on, at least I

691
00:42:28.559 --> 00:42:31.280
hope so, but I've definitely got
to that point where just by playing and

692
00:42:31.360 --> 00:42:35.119
I've kind of change my character,
you know, multiple times along the way,

693
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:37.840
but just by kind of playing the
game how I want to play it,

694
00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:40.320
and putting perks in the things that
I'm doing. It's gotten to it's

695
00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:45.000
sort of gotten to that point.
So I ended up building a heavy armor

696
00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:46.960
build just so I could go toe
to toe with stuff because I never ever

697
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:52.760
do that in games, and it's
been it's been a different kind of combat

698
00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:55.599
experience. I wish that the melee
combat was a little bit better in that

699
00:42:55.719 --> 00:42:59.519
game just in general, but I
kind of also don't care because it's it's

700
00:42:59.559 --> 00:43:02.280
still pretty awesome. But yeah,
that's what I've been doing. I truly

701
00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:06.400
had the whole notion. I don't
know if you guys guys have all seen

702
00:43:06.440 --> 00:43:09.480
this, but someone on the Giant
Bomb forms has come up with a build

703
00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:14.480
for a Kagete melee fighter that wasn't
just a build that was a screed.

704
00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:20.079
Yeah, that guy made an impassioned
argument basically like that. It's my understanding

705
00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:22.800
the way he pitches it, like
there is not a explicit like melee skill

706
00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:27.519
path or anything like that, but
he was able to find, like the

707
00:43:27.599 --> 00:43:32.920
base character where you put these stats, there's a couple of there's a couple

708
00:43:32.960 --> 00:43:36.639
of perks the pertain, but it's
but it's basically it's it's not like there's

709
00:43:36.639 --> 00:43:38.159
a full tree. It's sort of
like he found a couple of these perks

710
00:43:38.239 --> 00:43:42.920
and a few pieces of equipment so
that you could be unarmed at all times

711
00:43:43.039 --> 00:43:45.559
and fucking fight dragons, and he
made it sound so goddamn appealing. I

712
00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:50.360
want to punch dragons to death.
Yeah, being a fucking catman that punches

713
00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:52.239
dragons to death like that. I
mean that doesn't like I don't even have

714
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:55.239
to sell it much more than that. We're talking about Saints ro could be,

715
00:43:55.599 --> 00:44:02.079
could Bee could be. Oh my
god, the additional types. You

716
00:44:02.159 --> 00:44:07.000
guys need to keep doing side missions
even though you finished the game, because

717
00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:12.400
the additional types of gang members,
like the different oh really keep coming and

718
00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:19.159
they get awesome. All right,
yes they get awesome. You get you're

719
00:44:19.239 --> 00:44:23.360
right awesome er. But I was
I was so convinced I was going to

720
00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:29.800
do this. This casey fucking dragon
punchers got into it started like the character

721
00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:30.559
creator thing, and I was like, no, I want to. I

722
00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:34.639
want to play this the way like
I want to. I want to play

723
00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:37.480
to the fiction, not just to
the like the meta game play. Playing

724
00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:40.960
a Nord is the way to fit
into that that kind of narrative. Backg

725
00:44:43.239 --> 00:44:45.599
I think the elf gives you a
special place that in that world like everybody

726
00:44:46.519 --> 00:44:49.320
like I didn't. Yeah, it
was like my my My thought was like

727
00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:52.320
I don't want to just be like
random outsider. Like if I have some

728
00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:55.239
sort of hit, you know,
racial stakes, like some sort of ties

729
00:44:55.400 --> 00:45:00.880
to the region, I imagine that
will then and like immediately upon choosing Nord,

730
00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:06.599
like the dialogue options start flowing with
all of this kind of incidental stuff

731
00:45:06.599 --> 00:45:07.880
about it, like oh, you're
a Nord, this is your land and

732
00:45:08.199 --> 00:45:12.519
and this and that. So I
hope that that continues to pay off.

733
00:45:12.639 --> 00:45:15.719
It seems like I picked Imperial and
yeah, a lot of stuff too,

734
00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:19.559
except they're just like fuck you.
Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of

735
00:45:19.599 --> 00:45:21.559
like, oh, you're a long
way from home, Imperial. Well.

736
00:45:21.599 --> 00:45:23.079
The thing, the thing I was
surprised at is I expected them to like

737
00:45:23.199 --> 00:45:25.679
try to court me, to get
them to join their side, whether the

738
00:45:27.039 --> 00:45:30.840
Order the imperial, and they don't. They just they as imperials will do

739
00:45:30.920 --> 00:45:32.920
that and not really the imp Well, I might have killed some imperios early

740
00:45:34.039 --> 00:45:37.079
on and kind of pissed them off
about my overall behavior. Weird, Yeah,

741
00:45:37.079 --> 00:45:39.639
I know, who would have thought, did you? Guys? See

742
00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:45.719
we were talking about this before the
podcast, that there are crude renderings of

743
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:50.920
and paths two places like marrow Wind
in the world like these hype maps all

744
00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:53.119
the way out right, like you
can if you console command yourself outside like

745
00:45:53.159 --> 00:45:57.000
there if you follow the to the
edge of the Skyrone world, like there

746
00:45:57.039 --> 00:45:59.920
are structures set up for you to
leave to go somewhere, and then if

747
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:02.599
if you hack your way into it, like there are crude structures of the

748
00:46:02.719 --> 00:46:07.039
other worlds in the Elder Scrolls universe, like volcanoes like have important fictionals.

749
00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:13.760
Well, it's like the why why
are they? I mean, at this

750
00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:15.480
point, I'm pretty convinced it's just
there so that the map looks good when

751
00:46:15.480 --> 00:46:20.679
you zoom all the way out.
But still it's the same way that like

752
00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:23.559
all of the map is actually polygonal
and representative of the world, not just

753
00:46:23.719 --> 00:46:28.119
an interpretation, but it's it seems
like it's built out to a pretty high

754
00:46:28.199 --> 00:46:31.920
level of detail. Yeah, it's
also operation packs that send you tomorrow win.

755
00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:35.719
I think I think that I think
that's getting too excited. I mean

756
00:46:35.880 --> 00:46:37.639
that would be awesome, yes,
and that also that would be awesome,

757
00:46:37.679 --> 00:46:40.280
and they would also kind of solve
some of the issues that as the games

758
00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:44.679
had with DLC, where it's like
you have this like a random cave that

759
00:46:44.760 --> 00:46:46.320
opens up that takes you to this
new world like they were already built in

760
00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:50.239
paths. Yeah, like that would
be a cool fictional way of them incorporating

761
00:46:50.280 --> 00:46:52.480
the DLC. I mean, part
of this game kind of feels like an

762
00:46:52.519 --> 00:46:58.840
ad for the inevitable MO, right, like all the faction stuff, which

763
00:46:58.840 --> 00:47:01.760
I don't know how, I haven't
finished the I don't know's I want to

764
00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:06.719
play that with friends. I want
to get people and go through the comments

765
00:47:06.719 --> 00:47:08.480
immediately going to be I mean the
comments already, like you know, has

766
00:47:08.559 --> 00:47:12.599
its issues, but like once you
smash that into an MMO, like I

767
00:47:12.639 --> 00:47:15.159
don't want an MMO, but people
talking about like wanting to go on some

768
00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:17.039
missions co op, Like yeah,
I see feel of that, Like some

769
00:47:17.119 --> 00:47:20.480
of those boss fights would be really
good co op. But I don't know

770
00:47:20.480 --> 00:47:23.400
if you've noticed, but kind of
the the age of the MMO I believe

771
00:47:23.480 --> 00:47:29.239
has passed us in that format.
I want. I want a persistent world

772
00:47:29.719 --> 00:47:31.599
that I can save. I want
Freelancer with this game. I mean,

773
00:47:31.840 --> 00:47:36.039
like if that the Freelancer multiplayer,
I want this kind of game with that

774
00:47:36.119 --> 00:47:38.320
kind of must like like a Borderland
style set up, it would be okay,

775
00:47:38.320 --> 00:47:43.719
well, I mean that basically was
Fallout meets Borderlands, you know sort

776
00:47:43.719 --> 00:47:46.960
of. I guess that does the
quest structure plus Borderland's co op stuff like

777
00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:51.000
that could work. But but like
you know, go collect twenty troll skulls

778
00:47:51.079 --> 00:47:53.119
for me and then do it again
like no things, No, I just

779
00:47:53.239 --> 00:47:57.360
I just Quest system already feeds you
stuff like that. Yeah yeah not not

780
00:47:57.679 --> 00:48:01.519
not with that level of repetition.
Yeah, like it's bring me ten fire

781
00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:06.800
salts of that. But they're also
you can filter out all that stuff,

782
00:48:06.800 --> 00:48:10.599
whereas in an MO that is like
potatoes is are those horrible question? I

783
00:48:10.679 --> 00:48:13.960
think? I mean, if they
can scale out what they do in these

784
00:48:14.039 --> 00:48:16.159
games two an MMO, yeah,
that's fantastic. That just sounds like a

785
00:48:16.199 --> 00:48:21.760
real tall order, like generating that
much content and then having someone blast through

786
00:48:21.800 --> 00:48:23.880
it. Yeah, because like,
isn't this, I mean really isn't this?

787
00:48:23.920 --> 00:48:27.559
What Old Republic is trying to do
is like trying to trying to create

788
00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:30.960
a single player RPG and an MO
universe. And you know what I've heard

789
00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:34.920
about that game is not well like
the thing I think Old Republic is based

790
00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:37.920
around, like the notions of all
these different careers and and the stories that

791
00:48:37.960 --> 00:48:38.800
come with them. It's almost like
they're saying, like, dude, you're

792
00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:42.679
gonna have to create one character for
each one of these to see all the

793
00:48:42.719 --> 00:48:46.920
story we wrote for you, just
like constantly investing in your one character.

794
00:48:47.199 --> 00:48:51.559
Yeah, like, yeah, but
I don't know that's the end game.

795
00:48:52.039 --> 00:48:55.159
I've never been a person who's who's
rolled a bunch of aults in MMOs,

796
00:48:55.159 --> 00:48:58.360
and granted I haven't played a ton
of them, but like, I want

797
00:48:58.400 --> 00:49:00.559
to create my guy and have my
guy. I'd be the baddest ass version

798
00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:04.960
of my guy possible, but within
reason, because I'm not crazy. But

799
00:49:05.679 --> 00:49:07.199
you're a dude that plays an MO
and a lot of other games too.

800
00:49:07.639 --> 00:49:12.000
Like the people who are playing an
EMO and just play that MMO will level

801
00:49:12.039 --> 00:49:14.159
something up to sixty, and then
when they get tired of rating all the

802
00:49:14.199 --> 00:49:16.039
time, then they'll start they'll start
doing more and more and more of their

803
00:49:16.119 --> 00:49:19.360
characters. Yeah, yeah, I
guess so, but I don't. I

804
00:49:19.360 --> 00:49:22.599
don't believe that's a sustainable audience.
I mean, those people are all playing

805
00:49:22.599 --> 00:49:25.559
Wow, and then just like every
expansion just to have to add like three

806
00:49:25.679 --> 00:49:30.679
more full stories I don't know,
and yeah, I don't know. I

807
00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:34.400
just want to go through dungeons in
Skyrim with like two other people. Yeah,

808
00:49:34.719 --> 00:49:37.440
I'm okay if they Yeah, co
op would be cool though, and

809
00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:38.840
I don't need that in MMO,
Like, I would be fine if there

810
00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:44.480
was built in fair enough multiplayer structure
to this is already doing. And I

811
00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:46.199
think it's pretty clear how they could
probably do that. I don't think that's

812
00:49:46.400 --> 00:49:50.519
impossible. They'd have to add some
sort of targeting mechanism. Yeah, but

813
00:49:50.559 --> 00:49:52.039
what if they ended up with some
sort of like almost Fable like system where

814
00:49:52.039 --> 00:49:55.920
you just saw silhouettes or some sort
of indicator that there were other people in

815
00:49:57.039 --> 00:49:59.800
that part of the world, so
you could get your you know, okay,

816
00:49:59.800 --> 00:50:01.480
I gonna play callup with friends.
But then if you're in an area

817
00:50:01.639 --> 00:50:07.400
and needed people or dark souls like
pulls people in, like when you like

818
00:50:07.400 --> 00:50:10.400
you're getting ready to go fight a
boss, yeah, you maybe spawn people

819
00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:14.440
and yourself. Like, hey,
you know, if I'm if I'm signing

820
00:50:14.519 --> 00:50:16.880
up for a quest and there are
other people that are signed up online group

821
00:50:16.960 --> 00:50:21.239
us, as long as they don't
actually handle it the way that Fable two

822
00:50:21.320 --> 00:50:23.039
or three handle Yeah, exactly,
Yeah, there's just an idea. I

823
00:50:23.079 --> 00:50:27.239
don't see why these games needed any
of that. Like all the fest RPGs

824
00:50:27.280 --> 00:50:30.079
have their own identity. I just
like that that that like solitary, wide

825
00:50:30.119 --> 00:50:32.639
eyed, like the exploration of the
world is kind of like central to what

826
00:50:32.719 --> 00:50:37.639
makes these You're right about that too, Like I think that that's that is

827
00:50:37.679 --> 00:50:38.400
a really big part of it.
But at the same time, you should

828
00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:42.320
be it should should be an easier
way to show off the ship I've done

829
00:50:42.360 --> 00:50:46.360
to people, like maybe they should
build an armory. Yeah, if you

830
00:50:46.360 --> 00:50:49.920
should be able to show your character
off online or something like that. Yeah,

831
00:50:49.920 --> 00:50:52.519
but think about this. Think about
if there is like a point in

832
00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:55.800
the story where like kind of the
core narrative turns where like you having someone

833
00:50:55.880 --> 00:50:59.360
with you the entire time would be
kind of crazy. But if you're in

834
00:50:59.440 --> 00:51:01.199
this adventure, that's you know,
getting renown or getting you know, more

835
00:51:01.280 --> 00:51:05.960
involved in whatever sort of intrigue is
happening. Like at a point like all

836
00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:07.239
right, I hit this level or
I hit this event in the story,

837
00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:10.440
now I can have what if the
whole Civil what if the whole Civil War

838
00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:15.320
was just multiplayer? That actually that
actually sounds awesome, But I'll tell you

839
00:51:15.400 --> 00:51:19.440
why I'm so apprehensive about it is
because they have just now with this game,

840
00:51:19.559 --> 00:51:22.639
like barely gotten it right. Yeah. Sure, they have been working

841
00:51:22.679 --> 00:51:24.760
towards this point for fifteen years and
they finally fucking hit it out of the

842
00:51:24.840 --> 00:51:29.519
part. This game is awesome,
but I don't know that they could juggle

843
00:51:29.519 --> 00:51:31.679
all that extra stuff this soon and
get it right, because it's like Skyron

844
00:51:31.679 --> 00:51:35.519
doesn't really like solve a lot of
the weaknesses of that the Eldest Scroll series.

845
00:51:35.559 --> 00:51:37.480
It just does the strength so much
better that you it kind of balances

846
00:51:37.480 --> 00:51:42.079
out the things that it's never done
really right. The stuff that was really

847
00:51:42.119 --> 00:51:45.039
badly broken about Oblivion fall Out,
though, has been fixed for the most

848
00:51:45.079 --> 00:51:47.719
part, like the like all the
weird dupe bugs that we're in Oblivion that

849
00:51:47.760 --> 00:51:52.239
basically ruined the economy in that game
and let you cheat wildly out of control,

850
00:51:52.840 --> 00:51:54.800
like almost punished you for not cheating. Now you just click cabbage and

851
00:51:54.880 --> 00:52:04.360
cheese wheels, really cheese wheel it
was I'm gonna the Internet. Dude collected

852
00:52:04.400 --> 00:52:07.519
all of the cheese wheels, all
of them. What he claims is all

853
00:52:07.559 --> 00:52:08.679
of theres a lot of cheese wheels, and he filled up a house with

854
00:52:08.800 --> 00:52:12.599
them, and so there's this house
just absolutely filled with cheese. You should

855
00:52:12.599 --> 00:52:15.920
you should go check out the Skyrim
subreddit because it's full of nothing but screen

856
00:52:15.960 --> 00:52:20.199
shots. Like you can just go
to reddit. Yeah, yeah, there's

857
00:52:20.280 --> 00:52:22.079
like there which is new. There
is a games and gamings. Well there's

858
00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:24.880
a form because it's just awesome.
It's like a devoted skyrom one. Now

859
00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:29.880
just up stuff. But like people
all kinds of Like, somebody posted a

860
00:52:29.920 --> 00:52:32.920
picture of two dragons playing catch with
a mammoth like manmoth like flying back and

861
00:52:34.039 --> 00:52:37.199
forth through the air between these two
dragons. I love this game. Apparently

862
00:52:37.239 --> 00:52:39.159
a dragons sleep like you can find
sleeping dragons. If your sneak is high

863
00:52:39.199 --> 00:52:42.239
enough, you can sneak up on
him and like one shot him. Oh

864
00:52:42.519 --> 00:52:46.119
dude, some guy backstabbed the sleeping
dragon and like it apparently just barely missed

865
00:52:46.159 --> 00:52:49.440
one shotting it by like a slipper. So we just hit it again and

866
00:52:49.519 --> 00:52:51.920
it died. I'm doing that.
I'm gonna do that. That's that's my

867
00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:54.320
new goal. That's another another guy. I thought you would know a skyron.

868
00:52:54.519 --> 00:52:58.559
No, I did not think of
the sky. I saw another guy

869
00:52:58.679 --> 00:53:00.960
with a sword. He was showing
off the he had smithed up to over

870
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:04.800
nine hundred damage. Wow, can
you get the legendary ones without I don't

871
00:53:04.800 --> 00:53:07.440
know, Smith, I don't know
this was a legendary because I've seen some

872
00:53:07.480 --> 00:53:10.199
of the legendary ones where it's yeah, like take off you know, forty

873
00:53:10.239 --> 00:53:14.800
points of magica and half stam on
it, like like what you can stack

874
00:53:15.079 --> 00:53:16.719
on on on it? Like that
seems like it would be a really fun

875
00:53:16.760 --> 00:53:20.280
thing to do. Maybe as you're
the quest are starting to to lower,

876
00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:23.119
is to maybe focus on and you
can Can you stack enchantments? There's a

877
00:53:23.159 --> 00:53:28.079
perk for it. The final perk
is to enchantments parriems chanting one hundred.

878
00:53:28.119 --> 00:53:30.760
I think it is the end of
the So once you chant something, can

879
00:53:30.800 --> 00:53:34.840
you take that enchantment off or you
have to destroy the destroy the item and

880
00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:38.360
you can't You can't smith chin chanted
items unless you get blacksmithing. Yeah,

881
00:53:38.480 --> 00:53:42.800
that's one of the points. It's
like like like I can get you can

882
00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:46.280
put a fine onto regular items,
but you can't like fine craft any and

883
00:53:46.360 --> 00:53:50.840
you starting to kind of run out
of perks in in the combat schools and

884
00:53:51.159 --> 00:53:52.880
in the magic schools that I really
want. So I'm starting to think that

885
00:53:52.960 --> 00:53:57.480
I might just get into enchanting,
smithing and alchemy. Yeah, that kind

886
00:53:57.519 --> 00:53:59.920
of I mean that seems like right, that seems right, Like it seems

887
00:53:59.920 --> 00:54:02.000
like looking at the heavy armor and
the one handed in the magic, the

888
00:54:02.079 --> 00:54:06.239
destruction magic stuff, I'm gonna run
out of stuff before too much longer.

889
00:54:06.280 --> 00:54:09.079
And I'm only like level twenty twenty
would be done. Never I never found

890
00:54:10.039 --> 00:54:14.159
if my alchemy has gotten up pretty
high just because I keep making potions all

891
00:54:14.199 --> 00:54:17.039
the time. So it's it's already
so fall because you went, you meant

892
00:54:17.079 --> 00:54:21.360
you went more melee class, right, Yeah, yeah, easy magic as

893
00:54:21.400 --> 00:54:23.079
much. Okay, But I mean
I switched to healing to to heal up,

894
00:54:23.119 --> 00:54:25.360
and I find I finally got to
forty, so now I can regain

895
00:54:25.400 --> 00:54:30.280
stamina. But that changes everything with
melee combat. Interesting. I finally I

896
00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:35.320
saw a good breakdown of why I
gave up on destruction magic, because there's

897
00:54:35.360 --> 00:54:37.480
like a there's a regimented tiered system
about when you get access to the next

898
00:54:37.599 --> 00:54:42.599
level of spells. Okay, it's
uh, it's it's on the even number

899
00:54:42.599 --> 00:54:45.239
five. If this guy is accurate, it's five skill under the next perk.

900
00:54:45.360 --> 00:54:49.880
So it's like the perk four you
know, take half magic for like,

901
00:54:49.960 --> 00:54:52.760
say, what is it masterli this? Yeah, so like five five

902
00:54:52.800 --> 00:54:55.119
skill below where you get that perk
is where those spells become available at all.

903
00:54:55.199 --> 00:54:59.480
So okay, so it's not like
you're meeting a sorcerer that has those

904
00:54:59.639 --> 00:55:02.840
right tons. It's just they'll just
appear like got it. Almost. I

905
00:55:04.199 --> 00:55:06.679
got bored of Destruction Magic because I
was never seeing any new spells. But

906
00:55:06.760 --> 00:55:08.480
it was because I wasn't using enough
destruction magic. You have to keep skilling

907
00:55:08.559 --> 00:55:10.559
up to see that stuff. And
do you have to use the current level

908
00:55:10.599 --> 00:55:13.800
of Destruction magic in order to skill
up? Like do you have to use

909
00:55:13.840 --> 00:55:15.440
the fire bolt instead of the flame
to skill up? Or is it just

910
00:55:16.280 --> 00:55:19.639
it's probably a sliding scale, but
I think they all do it. I

911
00:55:19.679 --> 00:55:23.159
would imagine that anything that expends magic
is gonna yeah, proportional. You might

912
00:55:23.159 --> 00:55:25.679
just be getting more if you using
fireball. I know it only works if

913
00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:29.480
you're fighting something that's appropriate level,
like if you're going out and fighting like

914
00:55:29.679 --> 00:55:34.639
yard tradules or whatever. But but
yeah, I've been putting points. I've

915
00:55:34.639 --> 00:55:37.639
been buying the upgrade points in Destruction
Magic because it's so hard to level,

916
00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:40.199
which I don't know if that's a
good idea or not. But you know,

917
00:55:40.559 --> 00:55:43.840
I mean, people, I have
so much gold now that I've been

918
00:55:44.119 --> 00:55:45.639
I've been training five times for a
level just for the hell of it.

919
00:55:45.719 --> 00:55:49.559
People have said that if you max
out destruction, like you would just absolutely

920
00:55:49.599 --> 00:55:52.440
decimate everything in the game. Okay, So Kessler's a video up on YouTube

921
00:55:52.599 --> 00:55:59.079
of like there's the quest to get
like the the final Destruction spells and stuff,

922
00:55:59.159 --> 00:56:01.519
and that stuff looks like it totally
smokes dudes. Yeah, should I

923
00:56:01.559 --> 00:56:06.519
finish the main story quest before I
push on into like the Thieves Guild if

924
00:56:06.519 --> 00:56:08.000
you feel any urgency to see how
it plays out and if you want some

925
00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:12.159
pretty decent shouts and stuff, Yeah, does it change in the world or

926
00:56:12.239 --> 00:56:15.840
not really at all? Like the
dragons are still around there. There's some

927
00:56:15.920 --> 00:56:19.079
kind of like subtle things it'll change, but nothing that's going to dramatically alter

928
00:56:19.239 --> 00:56:22.760
your path. I finished the Thieves
Guild, Okay, I've been through that

929
00:56:22.760 --> 00:56:24.840
stuff. You know, what's actually
interesting about the story is that some cool

930
00:56:24.920 --> 00:56:29.000
side quests spawn off of it.
Like as you're going through the steps of

931
00:56:29.039 --> 00:56:31.400
the main story towards the end,
like weird little random side quests pop up

932
00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:36.760
that are optional cool. That stuff
seems neat. I'm hearing that that Thieves

933
00:56:36.840 --> 00:56:42.880
Guild is the is the Dark Brotherhood
of Skyrim. Yeah, there's some cool

934
00:56:42.920 --> 00:56:45.599
stuff in it. Yeah, but
I I I would say that I liked

935
00:56:45.639 --> 00:56:50.719
the things you did in Dark Dark
Brotherhood and Oblivion more. I haven't done

936
00:56:51.000 --> 00:56:53.880
too much Dark Brotherhood stuff in Skyrim
yet. But if that's if people are

937
00:56:53.920 --> 00:56:58.599
saying that's the best thing in that
game, and that's maybe sort of a

938
00:56:58.639 --> 00:57:01.280
bummer, Like it's it's cool,
but it's not just what was the murder

939
00:57:01.320 --> 00:57:05.199
mystery question, Tobli, It was
part of that was part of brother He

940
00:57:05.280 --> 00:57:07.239
kind of things like Skyrom maybe has
an overall better quest quality, but maybe

941
00:57:07.280 --> 00:57:12.840
not the same highs as maybe not. Yeah, I think that's fair.

942
00:57:13.719 --> 00:57:17.440
Patrick Levick, Hey, what's up? And we talked about all the games,

943
00:57:17.559 --> 00:57:22.119
Saints Rose, Skyrom, Sorry,
played some more, play some more

944
00:57:22.159 --> 00:57:27.239
Skywoard Sword. Yeah, but I
already beat that someone else play season was

945
00:57:27.239 --> 00:57:29.800
gonna play the Scarboard Sword and he
kept saying he was gonna play it.

946
00:57:30.360 --> 00:57:34.000
I'm gonna play it after the play
sound like crazy person. When we were

947
00:57:34.119 --> 00:57:37.519
when we were at the store this
morning picking up you thought about the wrestling

948
00:57:37.559 --> 00:57:39.039
game. I was looking at it, go like I kind of thought about

949
00:57:39.079 --> 00:57:44.239
two and then went, well,
and you were also thinking about SATs screed

950
00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:46.639
and I was like, yeah,
it might be a good like January game,

951
00:57:46.679 --> 00:57:50.159
like once you've gotten all the big
ones off your stack and things are

952
00:57:50.159 --> 00:57:53.039
slowing down before we get to stuff
in February March. I might a jerk

953
00:57:53.079 --> 00:58:00.199
for wanting to play that on Dolphin, but there's a lot of issues looking

954
00:58:00.199 --> 00:58:01.599
at those screenshots. Man, it's
sure it is tempting. Here's a lot

955
00:58:01.679 --> 00:58:05.079
of issues. I was reading up
on it. It's less looking at those

956
00:58:05.079 --> 00:58:07.199
screenshots and more looking at the actual
screenshots. That doesn't for me. I

957
00:58:07.280 --> 00:58:10.199
was just like, you get over
it real fast. I'm sure it looks

958
00:58:10.239 --> 00:58:12.960
fine. I mean, yeah,
I watched you play it when we did

959
00:58:13.000 --> 00:58:15.440
that quick look. I think that
that is a good looking game. You

960
00:58:15.519 --> 00:58:19.239
know, it's hard to look at
It's hard to go from something running into

961
00:58:19.239 --> 00:58:22.840
an ADP, especially with you guys
with PCs with your TVs, to drop

962
00:58:22.960 --> 00:58:25.000
down to four ADP and just look
like, oh just everything, every texture

963
00:58:25.079 --> 00:58:29.159
is everything looks so I mean,
I know, I trust I Trustintendo to

964
00:58:29.199 --> 00:58:30.800
make a good looking game on the
art style just looks fantastic. Yeah,

965
00:58:30.800 --> 00:58:32.639
I mean that's the thing, like
you just you just get over it,

966
00:58:32.880 --> 00:58:37.880
like you just forget about it both
Mario Galaxies. At no point that was

967
00:58:37.960 --> 00:58:42.119
I ever brought down by the fact
and that the same. It's where you

968
00:58:42.119 --> 00:58:43.840
look at it and you're like,
man, this would look great NHD,

969
00:58:43.960 --> 00:58:46.920
but I'm not thinking about that while
I'm playing it, screening it. Yeah,

970
00:58:46.960 --> 00:58:50.199
it's still it still looks phenomenal.
That is. That is how I'm

971
00:58:50.199 --> 00:58:52.159
playing sky Room on the three sixty
with it installed. It's just like it

972
00:58:52.239 --> 00:58:55.159
looks fine, looks That's why I
stopped playing it. I was just like,

973
00:58:55.559 --> 00:58:58.760
I haven't looked at a lot of
the comparison shots, and I don't

974
00:58:58.760 --> 00:59:00.400
know. I want to get I
want to get through that game on three

975
00:59:00.559 --> 00:59:02.239
sixty because I've already put in so
many hours on it so that I can

976
00:59:02.320 --> 00:59:06.920
start a PC character. I just
I just haven't I haven't installed. I

977
00:59:07.039 --> 00:59:09.159
deleted by Oh you really know?
Yeah, that's I mean, supposedly,

978
00:59:09.480 --> 00:59:13.920
I'll take I will take my load
hits at this point. Supposed supposedly loads,

979
00:59:14.280 --> 00:59:15.519
the loads get better as it catches
to the hard drive. And if

980
00:59:15.519 --> 00:59:17.920
you don't know and if you don't
know the difference. If you haven't experienced

981
00:59:17.960 --> 00:59:21.559
the loads with the install, then
you can't know what you're missing. And

982
00:59:21.960 --> 00:59:23.480
it'll look good. And then at
one point when the patch comes out,

983
00:59:23.480 --> 00:59:28.480
I'll get an incredible spot load times. I mean it's not it's only like

984
00:59:28.519 --> 00:59:30.960
a week away at this point,
but side by side it is a pretty

985
00:59:31.119 --> 00:59:35.119
profound difference. Yeah, but then
you know, Jeff on the other end,

986
00:59:35.159 --> 00:59:38.000
you'll get the visual exactly play Holy
shit, this game looks amazing.

987
00:59:38.639 --> 00:59:42.360
I already kind of feel that way, okay. Or you could pull the

988
00:59:42.440 --> 00:59:45.199
weirdest jack move in the history of
the Xbox and bust open your safe file

989
00:59:45.320 --> 00:59:47.679
and move it over to the PC. I like I did. I mean,

990
00:59:49.400 --> 00:59:51.639
oh, you didn't know about this, No, dude, I did

991
00:59:51.679 --> 00:59:58.400
it. Post story fantastic. Yeah, it's you gotta use some appreciating.

992
00:59:58.760 --> 01:00:01.079
You got to babble in some black
but you basically put on your USB thumb

993
01:00:01.159 --> 01:00:05.880
drive and then yeah, once you
do that, the file that you pull

994
01:00:05.920 --> 01:00:07.840
out of there, you don't have
to hex edit or anything. You change

995
01:00:07.840 --> 01:00:10.599
the extension on the format and dump
it into your PCs. Oh, I

996
01:00:10.719 --> 01:00:14.440
love you directly, and I just
picked right back up on the PC.

997
01:00:14.599 --> 01:00:15.639
It was. It was surreal.
This is a brilliant move on their part

998
01:00:15.639 --> 01:00:19.679
because it lets him sell two copies
of the game. I figured to anybody

999
01:00:19.760 --> 01:00:22.840
who who's like fuck manh yeah,
like I pause for a second, it

1000
01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:24.719
was a brilliant move. The game
would have a built in export to our

1001
01:00:24.800 --> 01:00:30.519
website function. Okay, yeah,
that's some weird thing like that next version.

1002
01:00:30.519 --> 01:00:31.559
I wondered if we would get in
a heat for running that new story,

1003
01:00:31.559 --> 01:00:34.239
and I was like, that is
not gonna care. They might,

1004
01:00:34.360 --> 01:00:37.400
you might sell game, but also
once it goes off version like that,

1005
01:00:37.440 --> 01:00:40.079
stuff stops working. So the window, that's what you're saying, Well,

1006
01:00:40.119 --> 01:00:44.320
you would always be able to go
back, like you can delete the patches

1007
01:00:44.400 --> 01:00:46.000
under three six, you can delete
the patches on your PCs, like it

1008
01:00:46.039 --> 01:00:50.559
will become more difficult, especially the
PC build number was higher than my ex

1009
01:00:50.760 --> 01:00:54.039
was still works okay, but the
saves wall was be forward compatible because I'm

1010
01:00:54.079 --> 01:01:00.360
not gonna scrap everybody, but going
from newer saves back to newer version older

1011
01:01:00.360 --> 01:01:06.760
probably wouldn't probably work. That makes
sense. So Sky, have you played

1012
01:01:06.800 --> 01:01:08.639
Raymond? Yeah, it's great.
I'm waiting. I'm waiting for my copy

1013
01:01:08.719 --> 01:01:13.320
shop and I just devour that because
it is well worth sixty dollars. I

1014
01:01:13.400 --> 01:01:15.599
was looking at because Gina and I
like play co op platformers together and went

1015
01:01:15.639 --> 01:01:19.599
through like New Supre Brothers and Little
Big Planets and all that stuff. A

1016
01:01:19.639 --> 01:01:23.400
little bit it's a little bit tougher
than there's a little more hardcore platform and

1017
01:01:23.440 --> 01:01:28.320
going on in Raymond Origins. Once
you get to the fifth area, like

1018
01:01:28.360 --> 01:01:30.760
which is where the challenge really ramps
up, but it has the same bubble

1019
01:01:31.360 --> 01:01:35.559
mechanic from New Super Brothers, so
you kind of just you can play through

1020
01:01:35.599 --> 01:01:37.360
if she's having trouble. To say, the platform is more sophisticated, but

1021
01:01:37.480 --> 01:01:40.760
it's less chaotic because it doesn't have
the same like jumping on top of each

1022
01:01:40.800 --> 01:01:45.599
other. You guys didn't get far
enough, like you once you get to

1023
01:01:45.679 --> 01:01:49.480
some of the later areas, like
it was starting at the point where Katie

1024
01:01:49.519 --> 01:01:51.960
wasn't able to keep up, and
it just wasn't like it wasn't just like,

1025
01:01:52.079 --> 01:01:53.639
oh I can't get past the section. It's like this whole stage is

1026
01:01:54.320 --> 01:01:59.960
beyond beyond my comprehension as a player. Was a finite number, a lot

1027
01:02:00.000 --> 01:02:01.800
lives or anything that really holds your
back. It's just a matter of like

1028
01:02:01.840 --> 01:02:07.079
we crossed a threshold where it was
just she couldn't enomore for it to be

1029
01:02:07.159 --> 01:02:08.599
fun. It wasn't just like this
sequence is tough, you go ahead and

1030
01:02:08.599 --> 01:02:10.639
do it. Not catch up.
She's floating through the whole level in the

1031
01:02:12.119 --> 01:02:14.079
Yeah, and she was just getting
hit all the time. So it could

1032
01:02:14.119 --> 01:02:15.639
be different depending on her skill level. But it was around the time where

1033
01:02:15.639 --> 01:02:19.000
we hit these fire stages that it
was just like, hey, I guess,

1034
01:02:19.039 --> 01:02:21.760
I guess we're not gonna play this
together anymore. They do they do

1035
01:02:21.800 --> 01:02:25.480
ac release game or I didn't see
that. That's a case where it doesn't.

1036
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:30.679
It runs in tenadio. You guys
need wives League, Wives League.

1037
01:02:30.679 --> 01:02:36.840
Gina and Katie they can play a
man together. There you go. I

1038
01:02:36.920 --> 01:02:42.920
think Leah and and Gina play Mario
Kart together. I don't even know how

1039
01:02:43.000 --> 01:02:45.400
that happens on the Wii. It's
kind online, no, I know,

1040
01:02:45.519 --> 01:02:52.199
but I'm just amazed that they were
because actually getting the WE online at all,

1041
01:02:52.360 --> 01:02:55.320
And yeah, it's not that hard
to get the WE online. It's

1042
01:02:55.360 --> 01:02:59.599
a settings thing and you punch in
the sixteen digit code. No, but

1043
01:02:59.679 --> 01:03:01.920
this is just no, no,
no, no, you understanding this is

1044
01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:06.599
more will being amazed because they're women. No no, no, no,

1045
01:03:06.679 --> 01:03:12.960
no no, because I'm saying when
that is exactly a damning women, it's

1046
01:03:13.039 --> 01:03:15.880
like, wow, that surprised.
Turn it on, back it up.

1047
01:03:15.960 --> 01:03:20.440
Let me hear some more about this. Yeah, if I don't even know

1048
01:03:20.440 --> 01:03:25.079
how to open an executable there,
it's just like an executable? What is

1049
01:03:25.119 --> 01:03:29.800
that? What's that? It's like
an executable but pronounced different? Is it?

1050
01:03:30.159 --> 01:03:31.239
Is it French? I don't have
any idea. I don't know why.

1051
01:03:31.280 --> 01:03:36.320
I probably accentable. You know,
are you the executor of a will?

1052
01:03:36.800 --> 01:03:38.119
And then you, guys, do
you remember, I mean, do

1053
01:03:38.159 --> 01:03:40.559
you remember what it was like before
there was video on the internet and you

1054
01:03:40.559 --> 01:03:45.239
didn't know how to pronounce anything.
I knew that it was fucking gift and

1055
01:03:45.559 --> 01:03:49.719
Jim. You're you're saying both of
them. I stand by gift, gift,

1056
01:03:49.800 --> 01:03:51.719
fun. I don't care what the
creator say. It's gift and Jim.

1057
01:03:52.559 --> 01:03:54.440
Jim is a right, you're half
right. It's given gi jiff a

1058
01:03:54.800 --> 01:03:59.480
peanut butter. It is also that
is also correct. Also g hard,

1059
01:03:59.559 --> 01:04:04.360
g emails. Graphics, yeah,
graphics, graphs, graphics, ganim,

1060
01:04:04.519 --> 01:04:08.800
damn it? Graphs all right?
If you want to bait. Start a

1061
01:04:08.880 --> 01:04:13.239
giraffe based image format and call it
giraffics, and then we can have jiffs.

1062
01:04:14.800 --> 01:04:16.679
Okay, but only then, I'm
on it. I got it.

1063
01:04:16.920 --> 01:04:20.760
These naked women sure have long necks. Only if that's what they have to

1064
01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:27.960
make. JIFF stand for all the
pictures interlace interleave for format format. Yeah,

1065
01:04:28.119 --> 01:04:33.920
I think it's it's a graphics interchange
interchange what they mean change? You

1066
01:04:33.960 --> 01:04:40.199
can make anime tweet systems and yeah, yeah, I can dragging fucking car

1067
01:04:41.679 --> 01:04:44.519
actually, I mean I have to
have just don't know how to do it.

1068
01:04:44.920 --> 01:04:45.440
It's easy. You can do it
in Photoshop. Now. You just

1069
01:04:45.519 --> 01:04:48.639
drag a video in, select the
clip you want and boom, we're done

1070
01:04:48.639 --> 01:04:54.960
with Photoshop. We're all pixel yesterday, pixelat Yeah, I use Photoshop stops.

1071
01:04:55.440 --> 01:04:59.320
You upgraded the Lion thirty dollars?
Uh sure? Yeah. Also also

1072
01:04:59.400 --> 01:05:04.880
I just use uh just web services
okay, yeah, picnic and a picnic

1073
01:05:05.039 --> 01:05:10.039
is okay. There's another one that's
image cropping. It's the job done.

1074
01:05:10.079 --> 01:05:14.320
It is exactly as much image editor
as you need to crop and color balance

1075
01:05:14.360 --> 01:05:16.800
and image. I guess you can't
color balance in preview, right, No,

1076
01:05:17.400 --> 01:05:21.320
yeah you can. It's it's rudimentary, but you can. Uh there

1077
01:05:21.360 --> 01:05:25.760
you go. I just the for
me the cropping is is there a way

1078
01:05:25.760 --> 01:05:30.559
to do it like with specific dimensions
in preview or is it just I don't

1079
01:05:30.599 --> 01:05:34.559
think so. Yeah, so like
like that's is. Can I can strain

1080
01:05:34.599 --> 01:05:38.159
the aspect ratio of this crop?
Yes? That is? You know.

1081
01:05:38.239 --> 01:05:42.159
I actually actually made like an automator
script to do it all through a right

1082
01:05:42.159 --> 01:05:45.320
click, so literally still right click
on a folder and it just goes like

1083
01:05:45.360 --> 01:05:47.679
to be able to get in there
and tinker downsize a bunch of images to

1084
01:05:47.800 --> 01:05:51.320
six forty three sixty fat faster you
can, so you look at split.

1085
01:05:51.679 --> 01:05:57.719
Nice. But I still bought Pixilatory
Split. Hello, how's gone? We

1086
01:05:57.800 --> 01:06:00.119
have also talked about most of the
games I've been playing. Alright, but

1087
01:06:00.440 --> 01:06:02.960
let me tell you about track Manny
two. Let me tell you about Warlords.

1088
01:06:03.480 --> 01:06:11.679
Yeah, the hottest new game.
It's it's it's twenty eleven's nineteen eighty

1089
01:06:11.760 --> 01:06:14.559
game of the year. Yeah,
all we have to talk all we can

1090
01:06:14.639 --> 01:06:17.719
talk about our great games of the
past and some of the games that are

1091
01:06:17.760 --> 01:06:23.519
coming out that's it in the relative
near future. So yeah, we bought

1092
01:06:23.519 --> 01:06:26.280
a Warlords machine. You bought.
I bought a Warlords machine. I helped

1093
01:06:26.280 --> 01:06:28.559
you get it. Yeah, looted
in my track. We now have an

1094
01:06:28.599 --> 01:06:32.519
office Warlords machine. And I've already
lost five dollars, already lost five dollars

1095
01:06:32.559 --> 01:06:36.480
to you've only you've only begun to
pay. I've only played one in the

1096
01:06:36.519 --> 01:06:39.960
hole. Yeah, I've already I'm
not five hundred and five dollars in the

1097
01:06:39.960 --> 01:06:43.800
whole on. This Warlords machine is
still have a great discount, I would

1098
01:06:43.800 --> 01:06:46.119
say. And this machine is tied
into the twisted web of my arcade machine

1099
01:06:46.480 --> 01:06:49.480
history as well. Thanks to the
wonderful Stevelyn. Yeah, big shout out

1100
01:06:49.519 --> 01:06:55.400
to Steve Lynn for getting us a
really great condition Warlords machine, helping us

1101
01:06:55.440 --> 01:06:58.519
broke through the deal with the guy
who owned it. Getting it looks like

1102
01:06:58.559 --> 01:07:02.400
it's brand new. It's it's in
really strong shape. They recap the monitor,

1103
01:07:02.480 --> 01:07:08.000
cleaned it up some it. Uh
the screen looks yeah, it's dusty,

1104
01:07:08.119 --> 01:07:12.440
but it's no rats. There's no
rats. There was an initially freak

1105
01:07:12.480 --> 01:07:15.480
out. Yeah, great four player
cocktail, but it but it lifts so

1106
01:07:15.760 --> 01:07:18.719
according to Steve, so I can
see how you would do this. There's

1107
01:07:18.800 --> 01:07:24.280
like a metal frame on the outside, but actually that that the actual cabinet

1108
01:07:24.360 --> 01:07:30.000
sits on. So there's like bolts
connecting the metal frame to the you know,

1109
01:07:30.079 --> 01:07:32.519
particle board or whatever the actual cab
is made out of. And according

1110
01:07:32.519 --> 01:07:34.679
to Steve Lynn, I could see
how you could do this. You can

1111
01:07:34.719 --> 01:07:39.239
actually lift it up so that you
could play that game at a standing position.

1112
01:07:39.519 --> 01:07:42.760
Oh yes, now that sounds like
a good way to ruin a world's

1113
01:07:44.199 --> 01:07:50.199
knock it over because it's yeah,
although yeah, ultimately though, I like

1114
01:07:50.280 --> 01:07:54.800
playing My Warlord sitting down, so
it's no no real purpose for for that

1115
01:07:54.880 --> 01:07:57.719
anyway. But just when we first
got it, there was a good freak

1116
01:07:57.760 --> 01:08:00.920
out where we uh you know,
it was on the ground floor where we

1117
01:08:00.960 --> 01:08:02.920
got it. It was easy to
move with two people from the back of

1118
01:08:03.159 --> 01:08:06.599
my Explorer, you know, drove
over super careful, you know, took

1119
01:08:06.639 --> 01:08:10.800
it out right next to the freight
elevator so we didn't have to like travel

1120
01:08:10.880 --> 01:08:13.400
far, you know, took it
over, plugged it in, and immediately,

1121
01:08:14.039 --> 01:08:17.680
uh like bad rom errors or fuck, it was working fine, like

1122
01:08:17.720 --> 01:08:21.560
actually turned on and tested it before
we took it out of its initial location.

1123
01:08:21.800 --> 01:08:25.159
It's like, oh god, damn
it just that little tiny bit of

1124
01:08:25.239 --> 01:08:27.880
movement and now it's fucking I was
like, oh, Jeff just bought himself

1125
01:08:27.880 --> 01:08:30.640
a five hundred dollars fucking headache.
I started thinking about all the stuff that

1126
01:08:30.720 --> 01:08:32.520
Vinney has been through with two Machine, and I was like, oh no,

1127
01:08:33.159 --> 01:08:36.279
poor Benny. And I just kind
of expected that to happen, because

1128
01:08:36.279 --> 01:08:39.840
it's the sort of thing when you
when you move a lot of these machines,

1129
01:08:39.920 --> 01:08:42.399
like it's that's that's usually enough,
that's what's why when you get to

1130
01:08:42.439 --> 01:08:45.520
California extreme. Yeah, as soon
as it opens, half stuffs broken,

1131
01:08:45.760 --> 01:08:47.720
it's like, oh god, we
just moved it, so shouldn't have done

1132
01:08:47.760 --> 01:08:51.319
that. But all he had to
do was was kind of push on some

1133
01:08:51.479 --> 01:08:55.760
ROMs, do a little rom receding
board out, push on it okay,

1134
01:08:55.960 --> 01:09:00.239
and works fine. It's war Lords. War Lords is super fun. Yeah

1135
01:09:00.359 --> 01:09:03.880
it is. I think it's easy
to not know how much fun Warlords is.

1136
01:09:04.479 --> 01:09:06.600
Warlords is one of those games.
When I was a kid and would

1137
01:09:06.600 --> 01:09:09.840
go to arcades, I always saw
like the old guys sitting in the corner

1138
01:09:09.840 --> 01:09:13.680
of drinking beer and and and gambling. I guess right accurate, And I

1139
01:09:13.800 --> 01:09:15.640
was afraid, so I never went
over there because it looks scary. But

1140
01:09:16.039 --> 01:09:19.399
my arcade. It did not serve
alcohol, so there weren't only anyone drinking.

1141
01:09:19.760 --> 01:09:21.800
It wasn't anyone drinking around it.
But also not a lot of people

1142
01:09:21.800 --> 01:09:25.479
play the Warlords machine that when when
the arcade I went to had one.

1143
01:09:25.680 --> 01:09:29.079
But it's you know, it's a
game you need you need a full house

1144
01:09:29.119 --> 01:09:30.920
to play, yeah, to really
enjoy. Yeah, well if you don't,

1145
01:09:30.920 --> 01:09:33.000
if you don't have the full four
players, it's just not quite as

1146
01:09:33.079 --> 01:09:36.319
fun because the AI is kind of
a dick. I can see that,

1147
01:09:36.560 --> 01:09:42.159
Yeah, because you know it's perfect
mathematically, Yeah, how would you even

1148
01:09:42.199 --> 01:09:46.319
program decent AI for a game like
that? You just decide, like you

1149
01:09:46.359 --> 01:09:48.439
have to. You have to have
it make decisions about where it should be.

1150
01:09:48.680 --> 01:09:53.239
And then once you have more multiple
fireballs, it has multiple decisions about

1151
01:09:53.279 --> 01:09:57.600
where to be. And also you
govern the speed and at which it will

1152
01:09:57.760 --> 01:10:01.279
rotate. So like I couldn't get
there. Hmm. It seems hard to

1153
01:10:01.319 --> 01:10:04.439
make interesting. Yeah, it definitely. Yeah, that's a hard thing.

1154
01:10:04.960 --> 01:10:09.840
So yeah, so better to play
with with dudes. But Warlords twenty elevens

1155
01:10:09.920 --> 01:10:13.520
nineteen eighty Game of the Year,
it's pretty it's pretty awesome. Yeah,

1156
01:10:13.760 --> 01:10:16.279
pretty stoked about it. I'll play
Warlords. Yeah, that come out in

1157
01:10:16.359 --> 01:10:23.039
nineteen eighty. Yeah. It's old
ass game. Yeah. Uh, impressed

1158
01:10:23.079 --> 01:10:26.279
with that it still works. Impressed
with that any arcade machine still works exactly.

1159
01:10:26.520 --> 01:10:29.600
Yeah. Uh. And then we
went we went off to see some

1160
01:10:29.720 --> 01:10:34.079
EA Sports stuff we did last week. Last week, you played NFL Blitz.

1161
01:10:34.199 --> 01:10:39.079
Yes, I played a bunch of
NFL Blitz. Uh, like walked

1162
01:10:39.119 --> 01:10:43.079
into that thing, sat down,
you know, I kind of said hi

1163
01:10:43.159 --> 01:10:45.199
to a few people. Uh,
sat down, played a bunch of NFL

1164
01:10:45.239 --> 01:10:46.640
Blitz, and then the event was
over, and I was like, oh,

1165
01:10:46.640 --> 01:10:51.319
I guess we gotta go never never
interrupted once during yours sitting there and

1166
01:10:51.359 --> 01:10:54.640
play it a shipload actually, Like
by the end of it, I was

1167
01:10:54.680 --> 01:10:56.840
like, I should find someone who
worked on this game and talk to them

1168
01:10:56.840 --> 01:11:00.560
about that. They're too busy,
like breaking down banners, putting everyone's leaving.

1169
01:11:00.600 --> 01:11:03.640
I just event space. They turned
the house lights on. Yeah,

1170
01:11:04.880 --> 01:11:10.000
all the chicken sticks like night.
It was like eight o'clock. Okay,

1171
01:11:10.039 --> 01:11:14.560
it was like eight when they ended. Yeah. So NFL Blitz for Xbox

1172
01:11:14.680 --> 01:11:19.840
lab ar Kaden was the version they
had coming in January. It seems pretty

1173
01:11:19.880 --> 01:11:23.479
good. Okay, I was your
promised. This was saying, if you

1174
01:11:23.479 --> 01:11:26.880
don't know already, Jeff is pretty
crazy for blitz. Yeah you want to

1175
01:11:26.960 --> 01:11:30.000
contest, I did. Yeah,
So I have a Blitz ninety nine machine

1176
01:11:30.039 --> 01:11:33.880
in my house from winning these tournaments, and I have a trophy from winning

1177
01:11:33.920 --> 01:11:40.399
the first Dreamcast tournament they had on
it the following year. Okay, so

1178
01:11:42.199 --> 01:11:45.600
I I might, you know,
like whatever, everyone's probably way out of

1179
01:11:45.640 --> 01:11:47.319
practice now, and you know,
it's it's hard to know and all that

1180
01:11:47.359 --> 01:11:51.039
stuff, But I'm I feel pretty
confident in saying that at one point I

1181
01:11:51.239 --> 01:11:56.720
was the world's greatest Blitz ninety nine
player. I can see that. I've

1182
01:11:56.720 --> 01:12:00.760
seen you play Blitz. That that
that's but you do not feel that necessarily

1183
01:12:00.840 --> 01:12:04.239
gives you like design decision carte blanche. No, absolutely not no, because

1184
01:12:04.279 --> 01:12:10.439
it's because I have I have weird
so I don't like football. Also,

1185
01:12:10.720 --> 01:12:15.640
that's the that's the twist on this
story is that he's amazing at blitz,

1186
01:12:16.199 --> 01:12:21.039
owns a Blitz machine, do not
care about actual football at all. But

1187
01:12:21.119 --> 01:12:24.760
you know, it's the same way
that like you didn't have to love basketball

1188
01:12:24.840 --> 01:12:28.319
to play NBA jam Yeah, uh, you know, NFL Blitz is a

1189
01:12:28.359 --> 01:12:30.600
little bit harder to pick up.
Than jam. But you know, like

1190
01:12:30.720 --> 01:12:33.359
once you get to that point,
you know it's more it's it's it's a

1191
01:12:33.399 --> 01:12:39.119
fast moving, real time strategy game. Okay, so you do like a

1192
01:12:39.239 --> 01:12:45.600
four nine seven post pool, Yeah
exactly, should be a new yeah moime

1193
01:12:46.319 --> 01:12:49.880
FM, so you know it all
it became all about like knowing what the

1194
01:12:50.039 --> 01:12:54.239
plays look like, or the different
formations look like. And for the most

1195
01:12:54.319 --> 01:12:58.079
part, in Blitz ninety nine,
you know they would have for for some

1196
01:12:58.159 --> 01:13:00.439
of the trickier plays, there were
three plays that had the exact same formation,

1197
01:13:00.920 --> 01:13:04.479
so you'd have to know like which
one of these three plays is going

1198
01:13:04.560 --> 01:13:06.439
to be. So it became a
kind of a guessing game. Okay,

1199
01:13:06.720 --> 01:13:10.880
so you know which which guy you
have to knock over right at the line

1200
01:13:10.920 --> 01:13:14.000
to bust up that play? Got
it? So it's all about kind of

1201
01:13:14.119 --> 01:13:16.760
like making calculated decisions and out of
the corner of your eye watching which play

1202
01:13:16.800 --> 01:13:20.600
there picking defensive plays. At the
same time, you're only picking safe cover

1203
01:13:21.039 --> 01:13:26.359
because that's the one that puts players
near receivers in such a way that,

1204
01:13:27.159 --> 01:13:30.159
uh you can switch to that player
and dive on that receiver as the ball

1205
01:13:30.239 --> 01:13:32.119
is heading his way. Got it? Uh, So break the game a

1206
01:13:32.159 --> 01:13:38.920
little bit, so say exactly like
it, but at the same time,

1207
01:13:39.439 --> 01:13:42.159
the beast way to play blitz is
not to play it like football. Yeah,

1208
01:13:42.239 --> 01:13:45.560
so what is the remote number one
thing? So beating safe cover once

1209
01:13:45.600 --> 01:13:47.319
players get to that that high of
a level where they're going to bust up

1210
01:13:47.319 --> 01:13:50.760
that play every time is knowing where
in the routes the players have pre programmed

1211
01:13:50.880 --> 01:13:55.359
spins and speed boosts and stuff.
So you know, if you hit the

1212
01:13:55.439 --> 01:13:58.680
guy on the route at this point, even if the guy dives at him,

1213
01:13:58.840 --> 01:14:00.640
he's mid spin, so the die
is probably gonna go right through that

1214
01:14:00.760 --> 01:14:05.560
player and and timing issues. Yeah, so so that was the offensive counter

1215
01:14:05.800 --> 01:14:10.039
to like high level safecover defense.
Is that what you feel that it was

1216
01:14:10.079 --> 01:14:12.640
built into the game or that was
just discovered by high level players that broke

1217
01:14:12.720 --> 01:14:16.159
the game and then had to find
ways to know that stuff's built in because

1218
01:14:16.159 --> 01:14:18.680
when they added the play editor,
they actually added like you could put a

1219
01:14:18.760 --> 01:14:21.239
spin here, and you can do
this when you're making your own plays.

1220
01:14:21.760 --> 01:14:26.479
So clearly they you know they when
they designed their own plays, they must

1221
01:14:26.520 --> 01:14:30.079
have meant this to be the way
to go. And you know the spin

1222
01:14:30.199 --> 01:14:32.560
is invincible, but if you do
it too many times in a play,

1223
01:14:33.279 --> 01:14:36.159
you're gonna fumble as soon as you
get touched, you know. That's that's

1224
01:14:36.199 --> 01:14:40.239
how they counter, you know how
they kind of keep the spin from being

1225
01:14:40.279 --> 01:14:43.600
too crazy a meter that governs that, or do you just have to develop

1226
01:14:43.640 --> 01:14:45.840
a sense for how many times there's
too many? It's more than once per

1227
01:14:45.920 --> 01:14:48.039
play. For me, was always
too many. If you're spending twice in

1228
01:14:48.079 --> 01:14:51.239
a play, you are you are
playing with fire, and not in the

1229
01:14:51.399 --> 01:14:58.399
good you're on fire kind of way. He's heating up, yes, is

1230
01:14:58.479 --> 01:15:06.000
heating up. He is constant constantly. So yeah, Blitz ninety nine is

1231
01:15:06.079 --> 01:15:09.279
awesome. It's it's probably one of
my favorite games of all time. So

1232
01:15:09.399 --> 01:15:13.319
I've been really curious for the past
like year however long it's Yeah, I

1233
01:15:13.319 --> 01:15:16.439
guess it's actually right about now.
It's been about a year since since I

1234
01:15:16.560 --> 01:15:21.000
heard that they were making a new
NFL Blitz and kind of would hear little

1235
01:15:21.079 --> 01:15:24.479
updates on it here and there over
the past years, like, Okay,

1236
01:15:24.520 --> 01:15:27.119
they're doing this, the engines,
the running sixty hurts, the stuff going

1237
01:15:27.159 --> 01:15:30.720
on, like you know it kind
of little bits and pieces as it's been

1238
01:15:30.840 --> 01:15:36.479
developed, and so I'm very excited
to finally play it, and it's really

1239
01:15:36.640 --> 01:15:40.600
close. And the change, some
of the changes they're making seem like changes

1240
01:15:40.680 --> 01:15:46.039
to make it a more balanced game
for people who aren't crazy, and and

1241
01:15:46.439 --> 01:15:51.119
in some ways maybe make it a
slightly more football the sort of game.

1242
01:15:51.199 --> 01:15:55.479
So like the spin has collision on
it now, like guys will when guys

1243
01:15:55.600 --> 01:15:58.479
run into the spin, they will, you know, there's an animation for

1244
01:15:58.840 --> 01:16:01.199
them, not it's being off off
or something like that. But it's still

1245
01:16:01.239 --> 01:16:06.359
invincible. It is not really no, it's it's it's not the same type

1246
01:16:06.399 --> 01:16:10.119
of it's not the same type of
it's invincible. You'll still run into cases

1247
01:16:10.199 --> 01:16:15.199
where if you're timing your spin just
right, three guys go flying and there's

1248
01:16:15.199 --> 01:16:17.039
an achievement in the game for you
know, knocking a bunch of dudes over

1249
01:16:17.439 --> 01:16:21.279
with with that sort of thing.
But the timing on it is totally different,

1250
01:16:21.479 --> 01:16:26.800
you know, it's it's uh,
it's a very different move than than

1251
01:16:26.880 --> 01:16:29.800
it used to be. In some
cases, the stiff arm is now more

1252
01:16:29.880 --> 01:16:33.960
effective for dealing with one on one
sort of situations because you can just jab

1253
01:16:34.039 --> 01:16:38.640
that thing out there and and stick
guys with it like you could before.

1254
01:16:39.039 --> 01:16:42.279
But usually you would spin and hope
that that gets everybody out of your way

1255
01:16:42.279 --> 01:16:44.800
so you can kind of, you
know, get over the sidelines and jump

1256
01:16:44.840 --> 01:16:48.279
out before you fumble. They've got
a lot of the old plays in the

1257
01:16:48.359 --> 01:16:51.600
game, but a lot of them
run differently, and this is this it's

1258
01:16:51.600 --> 01:16:56.920
stuff that again like that kind of
doesn't matter to anyone but me. Yeah,

1259
01:16:57.159 --> 01:16:59.439
and like a hand you know,
the the handful of people that that

1260
01:16:59.520 --> 01:17:00.439
have. But again, you know, Blitz is a popular game. I

1261
01:17:00.439 --> 01:17:03.039
guess like that's the thing, is
like not caring about football is I have

1262
01:17:03.199 --> 01:17:08.239
zero sense, Like I played all
my Blitz kind of in a bubble away

1263
01:17:08.359 --> 01:17:14.159
from you know, a lot of
typical kind of arcade scenarios. Though I

1264
01:17:14.279 --> 01:17:15.600
thought for long and hard for a
while about going out and starting to hustle

1265
01:17:15.640 --> 01:17:21.520
people at Blitz. That seems like
a dark pack whenever we go to California

1266
01:17:21.600 --> 01:17:26.079
stream we kept talking about but no
one ever plays it. Like I always

1267
01:17:26.079 --> 01:17:28.319
think like I'm just gonna spend a
day hanging out by the Blitz machine and

1268
01:17:28.439 --> 01:17:31.760
challenging people like that walk by like
you me, let's go. But there's

1269
01:17:31.840 --> 01:17:35.800
no one's no one's there to play
games from the late nineties, people there

1270
01:17:35.840 --> 01:17:40.439
to play pinball and stuff like that. So warlords like and Warlords yeah,

1271
01:17:40.520 --> 01:17:45.520
just never materialize this but Blitz cash
games. See. So we were having

1272
01:17:45.600 --> 01:17:48.359
the like after this event, we
were having this conversation Jeff, the notion

1273
01:17:48.520 --> 01:17:54.640
like like as as a known personality, as someone who has opinions about games

1274
01:17:54.720 --> 01:17:59.479
publicly, and as someone that is
you know, knowledgeable about Blitz, It's

1275
01:17:59.560 --> 01:18:02.239
like there is this impulse of the
people that make these games of like,

1276
01:18:02.319 --> 01:18:04.399
well, you know, we you
know, you're a big fan, You're

1277
01:18:04.439 --> 01:18:08.039
you know, a very visible person
that talks about Blitz. We want your

1278
01:18:08.079 --> 01:18:12.399
your input on this. And because
of the level on which you were playing

1279
01:18:12.479 --> 01:18:15.760
Blitz, it's not really my feedback
is not necessarily for the game. Yeah,

1280
01:18:15.880 --> 01:18:18.640
because my feedback would be like,
if you're gonna make people play defense

1281
01:18:18.680 --> 01:18:23.159
and actually pick more than one play, you're breaking Blitz. But that's ridiculous.

1282
01:18:23.800 --> 01:18:26.960
Yeah. So that was the thing, like like in the later years

1283
01:18:26.960 --> 01:18:29.279
at Midway, like when Craig,
Yeah, I was over there and they

1284
01:18:29.319 --> 01:18:33.399
were working on I guess let's the
least let's pro. Let's pro. Yes.

1285
01:18:34.279 --> 01:18:38.359
I remember going down to San Diego
and and and seeing the game for

1286
01:18:38.439 --> 01:18:40.000
the first time, and there's a
lot of like, so what do you

1287
01:18:40.039 --> 01:18:41.880
think, what do you think?
I'm like, I don't know, man,

1288
01:18:42.479 --> 01:18:44.319
there are more players in the field. That doesn't I don't know,

1289
01:18:44.920 --> 01:18:47.199
like making it a more realistic football
game doesn't doesn't. Well, there's no

1290
01:18:47.319 --> 01:18:49.960
appeal for me. That's the thing
is is you can't say it doesn't make

1291
01:18:49.960 --> 01:18:53.880
it better. It's like it's not
what I want exactly, but what I

1292
01:18:54.000 --> 01:18:56.640
want is so what I want is
Splitz ninety nine and done, Like I

1293
01:18:56.760 --> 01:18:59.199
have it. I have it,
so you know that's it's It was always

1294
01:18:59.279 --> 01:19:02.960
kind of this weird, this weird
process with that stuff and and yeah,

1295
01:19:03.039 --> 01:19:06.319
so playing this game, they were
definitely like I started taking notes at one

1296
01:19:06.359 --> 01:19:11.399
point while I was playing it,
which I almost never do because there were

1297
01:19:11.439 --> 01:19:15.000
there were like specific things that were
kind of making me crazy. And the

1298
01:19:15.039 --> 01:19:16.800
more I've the more I've thought about
it since playing the game, Like,

1299
01:19:16.960 --> 01:19:20.239
I guess that does make sense in
a we need to make a modern game

1300
01:19:20.399 --> 01:19:24.199
sort of way. But yeah,
I'm curious, would you have been happier

1301
01:19:24.439 --> 01:19:26.720
the notes? Would you Would you
have been happier if they had just poured

1302
01:19:26.800 --> 01:19:30.920
Blitz ninety nine and made an HD
kind of Yeah, we usually that game

1303
01:19:31.079 --> 01:19:36.600
is Blitz ninety nine, Like there's
there in spots it doesn't you know what

1304
01:19:36.680 --> 01:19:42.159
it is is there's no there is
no color correction, there's no like filters,

1305
01:19:42.560 --> 01:19:47.079
Like it has that hard sharp like
midway late nineties arcade look where it

1306
01:19:47.159 --> 01:19:51.800
was like fucking polygons, Like we're
not trying to soften this and give it

1307
01:19:51.840 --> 01:19:55.119
a sense of like you're at a
real place like mistiness in the airs.

1308
01:19:55.159 --> 01:19:58.399
Like no, everything is sharp and
in focus all the time. As as

1309
01:19:58.439 --> 01:20:00.600
as a complete outsider, this seems
like better way to create some like genuine

1310
01:20:00.600 --> 01:20:03.199
excitement around the new Blitz. Yeah, like if they had just made a

1311
01:20:03.199 --> 01:20:05.680
Blitz ninety nine in HD, like
everybody would have played it for a week

1312
01:20:05.760 --> 01:20:09.880
or two and then so yeah,
you know, well all the people either

1313
01:20:09.920 --> 01:20:14.039
you're going to play it enough to
like get crazy hooked on it and pick

1314
01:20:14.159 --> 01:20:17.479
up on all the weird nuance that
you're you're you don't see immediately or not.

1315
01:20:18.600 --> 01:20:21.439
I feel like the changes they're making
are probably probably pretty smart in a

1316
01:20:21.479 --> 01:20:24.880
lot of cases, but there's some
stuff that seem feels like it could go

1317
01:20:25.039 --> 01:20:28.560
either way. So like this one, some of the backs break for the

1318
01:20:28.600 --> 01:20:30.640
line of scrimmage too early on on
plays as a play called split backs where

1319
01:20:30.720 --> 01:20:33.079
you have two guys kind of ring
off the side while one guy goes out,

1320
01:20:33.479 --> 01:20:36.079
and that was the play where he
used to be able to like pitch

1321
01:20:36.119 --> 01:20:40.039
it back to one guy behind the
line of scrimmage, then he immediately throws

1322
01:20:40.079 --> 01:20:42.760
it to the other guy that's also
behind the line of scrimmage, and then

1323
01:20:42.880 --> 01:20:45.960
pass it up field to the receiver
that's gone out. And in Blitz ninety

1324
01:20:45.039 --> 01:20:48.720
nine it was less useful than it
wasn't original Blitz because well, I think

1325
01:20:48.840 --> 01:20:50.640
a lot of people just got better
at the game at that point, so

1326
01:20:50.760 --> 01:20:55.279
that sort of misdirection shit just stopped
working at one point. But when you

1327
01:20:55.319 --> 01:20:58.680
were throwing three passes in one play, initially it was just like I don't

1328
01:20:58.680 --> 01:21:00.760
even know where the ball is going. I can't what's going on. And

1329
01:21:00.800 --> 01:21:02.840
also you're passing off screen, you'll
have like a receiver off screen while it

1330
01:21:02.920 --> 01:21:06.600
happens. So with the game being
sixteen by nine, now that that happens

1331
01:21:06.600 --> 01:21:10.760
a little less, but also so
but in this case, as soon as

1332
01:21:10.760 --> 01:21:13.319
you pitch it to that first guy, he breaks for the line and crosses

1333
01:21:13.359 --> 01:21:15.840
the line of scrimmage, which is
a completely different play at that point,

1334
01:21:15.880 --> 01:21:20.640
it's way less useful and kind of
bump me out, Uh spith feel a

1335
01:21:20.640 --> 01:21:23.840
little weak. There's I mean,
it's hard to know if this is even

1336
01:21:23.880 --> 01:21:25.920
a final version of the game.
It's it's pretty close. It's probably real

1337
01:21:25.960 --> 01:21:28.520
close to submission. But again,
these are just the notes I took.

1338
01:21:29.680 --> 01:21:32.600
Jump pass animation is weird. So
it's got jump passes in it, but

1339
01:21:32.680 --> 01:21:36.720
if you and a lot of the
animation seems a little weird, like speed

1340
01:21:36.840 --> 01:21:41.399
wise, like the game seems like
it's running like maybe a little bit slower

1341
01:21:41.520 --> 01:21:45.000
than than Blitz does, and I
need to like look at him side by

1342
01:21:45.039 --> 01:21:47.000
side to actually know for sure.
But there are a lot of cases where

1343
01:21:47.079 --> 01:21:50.920
like the timing of jump pass is
a pretty much a pop bop sort of

1344
01:21:50.960 --> 01:21:55.399
button thing. But in this like
the jump animation as seem as you hit

1345
01:21:55.439 --> 01:21:57.479
it, it takes a little while
for him to get up into the air,

1346
01:21:58.119 --> 01:22:00.239
and if you hit pass while he
is just starting the jump, the

1347
01:22:00.319 --> 01:22:03.279
animation locks him back down to the
ground, which sounds like a really good

1348
01:22:03.279 --> 01:22:08.720
way to get tackled while you're passing. Yeah, but again I haven't done

1349
01:22:08.760 --> 01:22:12.479
it with intense pressure from another player, so maybe it doesn't actually cause a

1350
01:22:12.520 --> 01:22:15.640
problem. The dive auto targets the
ball carrier you spilled it to. The

1351
01:22:15.720 --> 01:22:17.800
idea is that at the start of
a play you would dive on one of

1352
01:22:17.840 --> 01:22:21.239
the receivers to try to bust up
that play, especially if it was the

1353
01:22:21.279 --> 01:22:25.039
receiver you knew was going to be
open at some point later in his route.

1354
01:22:26.720 --> 01:22:30.520
So the dive now will auto target
the quarterback as soon as you hit

1355
01:22:30.560 --> 01:22:33.560
it. So if you're just holding
down and push the dive button, he'll

1356
01:22:33.600 --> 01:22:38.439
dive diagonally because he'll he'll be aiming
at the quarterback. There's a push you

1357
01:22:38.520 --> 01:22:42.560
can use, and that's still kind
of that that doesn't auto target. So

1358
01:22:42.720 --> 01:22:45.600
the ideas are supposed to push those
guys down now, which the push was

1359
01:22:45.680 --> 01:22:51.359
in the older games too, was
just not necessarily as immediate and as devastating

1360
01:22:51.399 --> 01:22:57.279
as the dive was, so that
that's probably a good change because it makes

1361
01:22:57.319 --> 01:23:00.079
it you less likely to just bust
up every single play right before it starts.

1362
01:23:03.319 --> 01:23:06.000
Double tapping for spin is on one
of the analog triggers on the three

1363
01:23:06.079 --> 01:23:09.800
sixty, and it's just not responsive
enough to to get the spin out when

1364
01:23:09.800 --> 01:23:13.600
you need it. Yeah, I
mean, you know, like the when

1365
01:23:13.640 --> 01:23:16.239
you pitched one of your backs and
stay behind the line, he'll slide instead

1366
01:23:16.239 --> 01:23:21.520
of instead of diest Like really,
like this is really crazy stuff. If

1367
01:23:21.560 --> 01:23:25.720
these are the issues of that,
that like, what's what I'm saying?

1368
01:23:25.800 --> 01:23:30.560
The games game seems pretty good.
Games pretty sounds like Blitz. But I

1369
01:23:30.680 --> 01:23:33.079
like football and I like crazy shit
that happens on video games. Is gonna

1370
01:23:33.079 --> 01:23:36.039
be a fun game for me.
There's like Blitz. There's not an I

1371
01:23:36.119 --> 01:23:40.079
never got into it. There's not
like NAJM, not like Blitz. I

1372
01:23:40.119 --> 01:23:42.920
don't not like Blitz. It's just
not like I never It was at a

1373
01:23:42.960 --> 01:23:45.439
time when I wasn't going to darcade. Sure, all the crazy shit has

1374
01:23:45.439 --> 01:23:47.800
been taken out by the NFL.
No, no late hits. The tackles

1375
01:23:48.119 --> 01:23:55.760
seem pretty basic and no wrestling moves
and you're you're taking out They had stomp

1376
01:23:55.840 --> 01:24:00.279
stuff, hosts, post scores.
That's all the NFL. Yeah, yeah,

1377
01:24:00.279 --> 01:24:03.079
that's the NFL, you know,
demanding those changes and trying to prevent

1378
01:24:03.159 --> 01:24:09.520
kids from getting conclusion image like it
was in the game, Like there's this

1379
01:24:09.640 --> 01:24:12.319
specific game that had all that stuff
in it, and then the NFL said

1380
01:24:12.399 --> 01:24:16.680
no, and they and the NFL
can do that, Yeah, which is

1381
01:24:16.760 --> 01:24:19.920
you know the problem midway ran into
that. You know, the NFL started

1382
01:24:20.039 --> 01:24:24.119
getting rid of They're like, we
need to keep making these games, so

1383
01:24:24.239 --> 01:24:26.920
we need to keep making them crazier. Yeah, I would not let them.

1384
01:24:28.119 --> 01:24:30.760
And and late hits like that's kind
of been the focus of a lot

1385
01:24:30.800 --> 01:24:32.640
of stories. People go like,
oh, I can't believe it doesn't have

1386
01:24:32.720 --> 01:24:35.640
light hits. Like yeah, but
you're too busy skipping back to the play

1387
01:24:35.680 --> 01:24:41.000
select screen to mess around with the
late hits. It's that the tackles that

1388
01:24:41.159 --> 01:24:45.560
end the play. Yeah, I
am. It's the tackles that end play

1389
01:24:45.640 --> 01:24:49.239
is don't look as crazy anymore,
And that's that's a negative. You want

1390
01:24:49.239 --> 01:24:51.439
you want a guy to get hit
by two guys and then flip through the

1391
01:24:51.479 --> 01:24:55.840
air and land on it. Yea, you see some I saw some of

1392
01:24:55.880 --> 01:24:59.399
that stuff while I was playing it, but it's it all looks a little

1393
01:24:59.399 --> 01:25:02.079
cleaner, is it? Like physics? See, like are they okay?

1394
01:25:02.479 --> 01:25:08.000
So it's not like there's some weird
stuff where like when defenders sometimes they'll jump

1395
01:25:08.079 --> 01:25:10.800
to catch a pass and go down
on their back. And I saw a

1396
01:25:10.840 --> 01:25:15.880
lot more plays ending that way.
It seemed like the transition from like going

1397
01:25:15.920 --> 01:25:17.600
through that animation to catch a pass
to getting back on your feet was way

1398
01:25:17.680 --> 01:25:21.079
faster in old Blitz, whereas now
there's plenty of opportunities for players to just

1399
01:25:21.199 --> 01:25:25.600
run up and end the play by
just getting close to that player while he's

1400
01:25:25.640 --> 01:25:30.319
down, And that didn't seem outstanding. But the core of it's there.

1401
01:25:30.319 --> 01:25:31.119
I mean, you know, it's
it's that point and shoot passing that the

1402
01:25:31.199 --> 01:25:33.880
original Arcade game had. Like it, it seems like it'll be pretty easy

1403
01:25:33.920 --> 01:25:36.439
to pick up and play. They've
added some buttons to it. It's not

1404
01:25:36.560 --> 01:25:40.479
just three buttons like the old game
was. It's it's it's very similar to

1405
01:25:40.720 --> 01:25:43.680
what they did with the new NBA
jams, Like they added buttons where it

1406
01:25:43.800 --> 01:25:46.479
made sense to split up commands and
stuff like that. But they do have

1407
01:25:46.520 --> 01:25:50.319
two control options in there. There's
like Blitz and there's Arcade, and Arcade

1408
01:25:50.359 --> 01:25:55.920
just kind of makes it a little
bit easier to do a couple of moves.

1409
01:25:56.720 --> 01:25:59.520
Is this going to be like an
Arcade download or games on demand download

1410
01:25:59.560 --> 01:26:01.640
that this is an our Kid download, so this will be like fifteen bucks.

1411
01:26:02.880 --> 01:26:05.760
And they've added a bunch of different
modes. They've got like a Ladder

1412
01:26:05.880 --> 01:26:10.560
Mode. They've got a mode where
you're you're building a team from packs of

1413
01:26:10.640 --> 01:26:13.880
cards, but it looks like you're
not actually buying those packs of cards like

1414
01:26:14.039 --> 01:26:16.600
FIFA Ultimate Team or anything like that. So hopefully not part of the phishing

1415
01:26:16.680 --> 01:26:23.119
scam that continues to play exactly.
Have you if you heard any rumblings about

1416
01:26:23.640 --> 01:26:27.720
like people's accounts being locked down,
like their Xbox Live profiles and not because

1417
01:26:27.760 --> 01:26:31.279
of FIFA stuff, Well, because
in general being hacked, like the recovery

1418
01:26:31.359 --> 01:26:34.720
process when you have to go through
Xbox support is apparently just got awful.

1419
01:26:35.680 --> 01:26:39.159
They're very backed up, they're there. Yeah, like there are people in

1420
01:26:39.520 --> 01:26:43.119
like on day sixty or seventy of
not having access to their Xbox Live profile.

1421
01:26:44.199 --> 01:26:45.880
That is more common than in mind
blow it should be. But it

1422
01:26:45.960 --> 01:26:51.199
looks like there's no actual exploit or
weird weird end around that people are using

1423
01:26:51.239 --> 01:26:56.000
to hack that stuff like that was
that was the big conspiracy sociary that because

1424
01:26:56.079 --> 01:26:58.279
so many of them were tied to
FIFA. You know, there was this

1425
01:26:58.399 --> 01:27:00.920
kind of angry mob forming like this
has to be EA's fault, and I

1426
01:27:00.960 --> 01:27:03.720
guess the only thing is it's e's
fault for creating a thing where you can

1427
01:27:03.840 --> 01:27:08.439
buy cards with points, because that's
inspiring people to go out and hack all

1428
01:27:08.439 --> 01:27:11.159
these accounts and masks, regardless of
the in road. Like they're like,

1429
01:27:11.239 --> 01:27:15.600
that's just or they're pulling these passwords
those other hacks like the Battlefield Heroes hack

1430
01:27:15.720 --> 01:27:17.279
or the you know, like all
these other hacks that got people passwords.

1431
01:27:17.279 --> 01:27:19.880
You know, I mean when everything
is tied to that log in, all

1432
01:27:19.920 --> 01:27:24.800
your purchases and your GLC and achievements
and everything save games. Like not being

1433
01:27:24.840 --> 01:27:27.880
able to use that stuff, that's
so bad. That doesn't suck. It's

1434
01:27:27.960 --> 01:27:33.199
bad. So I like Blitz and
the weird things about it are gonna always

1435
01:27:33.279 --> 01:27:36.439
be weird to me. But it's
it's one of those situations where like,

1436
01:27:36.560 --> 01:27:41.199
at some point you just you've gotten
so close to one specific game and so

1437
01:27:42.279 --> 01:27:45.319
obsessive about the minutia of that specific
game. It's good that you can recognize

1438
01:27:45.359 --> 01:27:49.680
that. It's that your feelings aren't
reasonable about certain things about Blitz. Yeah,

1439
01:27:50.119 --> 01:27:55.039
yeah, that it's not something that
you can relate to many other Oh

1440
01:27:55.119 --> 01:27:57.840
you know, we'll get but but
I'm getting Vince Brody and rym Donald in

1441
01:27:57.920 --> 01:28:00.760
here, and you guys can can
talk to out we should set that up.

1442
01:28:02.760 --> 01:28:06.039
Yeah, it because but the last
thing I would say is the game

1443
01:28:06.079 --> 01:28:11.319
feels slightly slower, and that's that's
Uh. Was there significant speed increases year

1444
01:28:11.359 --> 01:28:15.600
over a year for for blids so
much they could see that being a serious

1445
01:28:15.640 --> 01:28:18.039
that would just that would pep up
a little bit. Yeah, I mean

1446
01:28:18.039 --> 01:28:20.399
like that was always that was always
like the finding game thing is, they

1447
01:28:20.399 --> 01:28:24.760
would just be like, oh,
we added another level of turbo to to

1448
01:28:24.880 --> 01:28:27.560
this stuff, because you guys have
been playing this game so long that why

1449
01:28:27.600 --> 01:28:30.079
not make it a little faster that. Yeah, maybe they did do a

1450
01:28:30.199 --> 01:28:36.560
little bit of that stuff, but
they gotta give themselves analog stick, you

1451
01:28:36.640 --> 01:28:41.119
have to. It's it's I mean
even the arcade game used forty nine way

1452
01:28:41.199 --> 01:28:44.920
joysticks. OK. So it was
the sort of thing where and that's what

1453
01:28:45.039 --> 01:28:47.359
broke like the PC version of that
game is is the PC version of that

1454
01:28:47.399 --> 01:28:51.079
game was perfect to the Arcade game
in a lot of ways except for that

1455
01:28:51.199 --> 01:28:56.560
one that broke it because the control
just wasn't good enough a lot of ways.

1456
01:28:56.680 --> 01:28:59.960
Yeah, since Star used to forty
nine joyst is it is that forty

1457
01:29:00.079 --> 01:29:01.319
nine ways like instead of eight ways? Or is that forty nine ways?

1458
01:29:01.359 --> 01:29:05.720
Meaning that there's different depth in no. No eight Okay, why not fifty

1459
01:29:06.199 --> 01:29:11.039
items like a weird number to forty
eight and zero? Yeah? Oh really?

1460
01:29:11.159 --> 01:29:14.840
Yeah? Okay that the middle of
the middle is is that odd number?

1461
01:29:14.960 --> 01:29:17.880
Yeah, it's crazy, that's a
position. So while you were playing

1462
01:29:17.880 --> 01:29:23.640
Blitz, I was getting introduced to
the new Ssex game, which, yeah,

1463
01:29:23.760 --> 01:29:28.279
which I was a second only two. I'll say, Sean Cohon's in

1464
01:29:28.319 --> 01:29:33.359
this office. H huge ssex fan. Uh, the original Tricky three is

1465
01:29:33.439 --> 01:29:38.039
my is my jam. S Sex
three is absolutely my game though. That's

1466
01:29:38.119 --> 01:29:41.720
that's probably one of my all time
favorite PS two games. Last one.

1467
01:29:41.720 --> 01:29:43.840
That's where you differ from Coon's right, because he's more of a trick.

1468
01:29:43.960 --> 01:29:50.359
He loves three loves. The game
was the last on tour. Wasn't that

1469
01:29:50.439 --> 01:29:55.239
was a WE game? Right?
No? That was no? No,

1470
01:29:55.399 --> 01:29:59.880
no, no, there was a
WE one. It was Sex High Descent

1471
01:30:00.079 --> 01:30:01.920
or something. No, no,
their deadly just senses what they were calling

1472
01:30:01.960 --> 01:30:08.680
this game. But no, it's
just sex the Sea. Yeah, there

1473
01:30:08.720 --> 01:30:12.359
were no valves to take out of
it, so it's still just s SX

1474
01:30:14.439 --> 01:30:17.680
what's that sx l R s sxler
Yeah. Say my new microblogging platform based

1475
01:30:17.680 --> 01:30:25.039
on Snowboarding hosted by Adam Sessler.
I would use that, totally, use

1476
01:30:25.119 --> 01:30:28.840
that totally. Yeah, absolutely,
God damn it, I can't remember now,

1477
01:30:28.880 --> 01:30:32.359
you fuck up anyway. Anyway,
what the game? The goddamn weaver

1478
01:30:32.760 --> 01:30:35.319
doesn't own a copy of it.
Fact checking over here, I wish you

1479
01:30:35.359 --> 01:30:40.479
would see it didn't sound right because
I'm like, no, that's another game.

1480
01:30:40.600 --> 01:30:45.840
Yea. Yeah, So it's been
a really long time since I played

1481
01:30:45.840 --> 01:30:47.239
in any sex games. When I
went and sat down with it, so

1482
01:30:47.800 --> 01:30:51.640
you know, did a couple of
different events and couldn't couldn't get my head

1483
01:30:51.720 --> 01:30:55.880
around, I was like, I
don't remember enough about how exactly as a

1484
01:30:55.920 --> 01:30:59.520
sex handles. It was kind of
Tony Hockey, right, like no tricks,

1485
01:30:59.560 --> 01:31:02.079
so we gets triggers and press buttons. That's accurate of like you use

1486
01:31:02.159 --> 01:31:04.760
your boost. It was. It
was not the trick system was not like

1487
01:31:04.880 --> 01:31:08.680
Tony Hawk. I I see,
I want to think that I remember.

1488
01:31:10.560 --> 01:31:13.920
It's because Tony Hawk was good.
It's sex was never good. It's that's

1489
01:31:14.079 --> 01:31:17.039
that's the difference for me. It's
a fair enough. It's a simplification of

1490
01:31:17.199 --> 01:31:21.199
the aerial stuff, like the half
pipe stuff. Yeah, there's a similarity

1491
01:31:21.279 --> 01:31:25.800
there of like you're holding a direction
because you want to do a spin while

1492
01:31:25.880 --> 01:31:28.960
you're also doing a grab. And
if you hold like each of the four,

1493
01:31:29.000 --> 01:31:30.039
it was like there was a grab
button and there was a whole there

1494
01:31:30.119 --> 01:31:33.479
was a four of the shoulders gave
you grabs, and you could hold combinations

1495
01:31:33.520 --> 01:31:36.319
of shoulder buttons to get different kinds
of grabs, and you could use one

1496
01:31:36.359 --> 01:31:39.880
of the face buttons to do boost
and that would make you do the tricks

1497
01:31:39.920 --> 01:31:43.359
face you could the right stick,
and then when you landed huge tricks,

1498
01:31:43.760 --> 01:31:46.039
uh, you would then get your
uber meter full, and then then you

1499
01:31:46.079 --> 01:31:48.159
would have like unlimited boost for a
short period of time, and then you

1500
01:31:48.199 --> 01:31:51.600
could pull off specific kinds of tricks
that you couldn't do otherwise. And there's

1501
01:31:51.640 --> 01:31:55.439
some you know, some some rail
grinding and stuff, which so I actually

1502
01:31:55.479 --> 01:31:59.640
went and after playing as Sex at
this event and being like this seems okay,

1503
01:31:59.720 --> 01:32:03.439
but I really can't recall how this
stacks up, uh, And talking

1504
01:32:03.479 --> 01:32:06.479
to the guy from the team that
was that was demoing the game for me,

1505
01:32:06.960 --> 01:32:10.720
uh, you know, he's he
said some things that that made me

1506
01:32:10.840 --> 01:32:15.520
feel good of like yeah, we're
you know, we're are like you look

1507
01:32:15.600 --> 01:32:21.359
pretty and later out their source of
inspiration was more as Sex three than Tricky.

1508
01:32:21.359 --> 01:32:24.159
I'm like, okay, cool,
And there were things in the game

1509
01:32:24.239 --> 01:32:26.800
that kind of backed that up.
There's sparkly inness to the snow. They're

1510
01:32:26.840 --> 01:32:29.600
going a lot more kind of you
know, it's it's not more about the

1511
01:32:29.640 --> 01:32:33.399
open mountains and not these finely kind
of crafted courses that you're racing down,

1512
01:32:33.439 --> 01:32:39.680
which is tricky was much more about
those those kind of yeah, yeah exactly.

1513
01:32:39.720 --> 01:32:42.000
And there's and there's a there's a
fair amount of that in three as

1514
01:32:42.039 --> 01:32:45.520
well, but there's also kind of
the open feral mountains. So is it

1515
01:32:45.600 --> 01:32:47.039
more of a racing game than a
tricking game or is it? What's the

1516
01:32:47.079 --> 01:32:50.239
thing is Sex has always been a
racing game mostly, but you had to

1517
01:32:50.319 --> 01:32:54.960
trick in order to do the race
exactly, so they they maintained that balance.

1518
01:32:55.039 --> 01:32:58.279
It's the specifics of like I can't
recall was there were there AI racers

1519
01:32:58.359 --> 01:33:00.319
in when you play? Okay,
see when I play, did it was

1520
01:33:00.359 --> 01:33:03.399
just solo on the mountains. Well, there's there's stuff like that event wise,

1521
01:33:03.600 --> 01:33:06.640
like uh, and the new stuff
they're adding, like the Deadly Descent

1522
01:33:06.720 --> 01:33:10.920
stuff where it's basically it's a lot
more survival oriented of like you have a

1523
01:33:10.960 --> 01:33:13.319
life bar and there are things on
this map that can fuck you up,

1524
01:33:13.439 --> 01:33:19.000
so don't die, and also like
there's a lot they've they've introduced a rewind

1525
01:33:19.079 --> 01:33:23.560
feature, which in certain events you
have limited access to. In other ones

1526
01:33:23.600 --> 01:33:25.640
you can do it so many times
you want. It's just like if you

1527
01:33:25.680 --> 01:33:28.119
do that in a race, everyone
else is still moving forward while you are

1528
01:33:28.560 --> 01:33:30.680
rewinding out of the hole that you
fell into. So it seems like they

1529
01:33:30.720 --> 01:33:35.960
may have even just like done that
instead of allowing you to reset, like

1530
01:33:36.079 --> 01:33:40.239
reset out of a bad position.
Does it have split screen multiplayer and that

1531
01:33:40.279 --> 01:33:43.119
kind of stuff? Is still a
couch game? What this is a couch

1532
01:33:43.199 --> 01:33:47.800
game? As sex it's concil consoles. Yeah, it's it's bats couch game.

1533
01:33:47.840 --> 01:33:49.760
Well but is it? Is it
a game that you can play two

1534
01:33:49.800 --> 01:33:53.119
people on the same couch. That
was a little bit of like Peter Maine

1535
01:33:53.159 --> 01:33:58.239
there for a second council? Am
I the only one? I was thinking

1536
01:33:58.239 --> 01:34:02.720
about executables? Again? Probably do
you? Probably not? Probably not?

1537
01:34:04.319 --> 01:34:09.000
I know it's possible, but probably
not. This is not a finish This

1538
01:34:09.079 --> 01:34:13.960
is not a finished build of the
game. It's coming out well, wow,

1539
01:34:14.039 --> 01:34:16.039
it's a long way off. It's
February, not that long as you

1540
01:34:16.279 --> 01:34:24.560
say February. You said February,
I did deliberately. I know s X

1541
01:34:24.640 --> 01:34:28.119
three is still really good, you
guys. What mostly what I learned from

1542
01:34:28.159 --> 01:34:30.600
this because I went back and it
was like, all right, it's been

1543
01:34:30.680 --> 01:34:32.279
so long, I actually need to
go and play some Sex three because my

1544
01:34:32.359 --> 01:34:36.239
memories of it are amazing. And
of course it does not look as good

1545
01:34:36.319 --> 01:34:40.000
as I remember it, but it
still looks pretty decent end and it's backwards

1546
01:34:40.039 --> 01:34:43.199
compatible and it controls, it controls
well. Still, what do you think

1547
01:34:43.199 --> 01:34:45.600
that looks such a long hiatus?
Uh, they've been trying to figure out

1548
01:34:45.640 --> 01:34:47.399
how to make this game for a
while. Yeah, I think I think

1549
01:34:47.399 --> 01:34:53.119
that's kind of road rash, where
it's like they keep making prototypes and it

1550
01:34:53.239 --> 01:34:56.920
just never gets off the ground.
Because because they did Blur for the Wei

1551
01:34:57.119 --> 01:35:01.079
and it was I was an on
starter well like after three they did on

1552
01:35:01.159 --> 01:35:04.199
tour, which on tour isn't bad. It actually had some cool uh like

1553
01:35:04.279 --> 01:35:13.039
stylistic touches that I enjoyed. But
uh, as I was probably on the

1554
01:35:13.119 --> 01:35:17.960
original, Uh yeah that that game
had some cool stuff going on in it,

1555
01:35:18.039 --> 01:35:23.920
but it was it was not I
guess as essential as Tricky or or

1556
01:35:24.039 --> 01:35:29.000
three was. But yeah, that
after Blur, I think kind of,

1557
01:35:29.119 --> 01:35:30.960
you know, killed interest in it
for a while. Any remember there was

1558
01:35:31.039 --> 01:35:34.800
just that like extreme sports saturation of
just like five. No, I don't

1559
01:35:34.800 --> 01:35:39.079
want to wakeboard, I don't want
to surf. What about a Raisor scooter.

1560
01:35:39.359 --> 01:35:43.079
I don't want to ride a Disney
Razor scooter? Longboards game, but

1561
01:35:43.239 --> 01:35:47.760
inline, inline, in line Disney
Simpsons was so good that game. That

1562
01:35:47.840 --> 01:35:49.840
game was good. It was awesome. I really like that game. Pretty

1563
01:35:49.840 --> 01:36:00.319
good. No, no, whatever, that was pretty talent. Yeah,

1564
01:36:00.560 --> 01:36:04.079
that was pretty like these stream sports
games, what if they got sex streams,

1565
01:36:05.279 --> 01:36:13.960
skate course trashing one of the best
soundtracks and the keyest one two bad

1566
01:36:14.119 --> 01:36:18.199
games. Rand Session. That game
had a made xis right session. No,

1567
01:36:18.479 --> 01:36:21.439
no, no, yeah, grind
Session. That was crazy. It's

1568
01:36:21.479 --> 01:36:26.600
early. There's early skateboarding games were
bizarre. But back before Tony Hawk one

1569
01:36:26.640 --> 01:36:29.920
was out and it was Thrasher and
Tony Hawk one, I was backing Thrasher

1570
01:36:30.079 --> 01:36:33.199
was going into going out of that. E three was like it was awesome,

1571
01:36:33.520 --> 01:36:36.319
Like yeah, it had a much
more realistic like it was way more

1572
01:36:36.359 --> 01:36:42.119
punishing, like yeah, yeah,
oh yeah, the landing stuff. But

1573
01:36:42.159 --> 01:36:44.960
my friends and I got super into
the game because it was really rewarding when

1574
01:36:45.000 --> 01:36:46.319
you would pull off anything. It
was kind of like an early you know,

1575
01:36:46.359 --> 01:36:49.319
predecessor to like Skate or something where
it's like there are these two tracks

1576
01:36:49.399 --> 01:36:53.199
and Tony Hawk just one out,
yeah, and like that that's just where

1577
01:36:53.239 --> 01:36:56.159
the genre went. Yeah. Well
no, that was my first three and

1578
01:36:56.199 --> 01:36:58.119
I played both of those and I
was like, yeah, yeah, Tony

1579
01:36:58.199 --> 01:37:00.319
Hawk. I need to play more
Tony Hawk. When it come, when

1580
01:37:00.399 --> 01:37:01.880
can I play this game? We
I have this inside of me. I

1581
01:37:02.000 --> 01:37:08.159
used I used to love Tenadi Forstance
for two. I love developed snowboarding game.

1582
01:37:08.279 --> 01:37:11.600
I see the game was great.
I think I think I just don't

1583
01:37:11.680 --> 01:37:15.279
like snowboarding games that much. We
don't have it's it just it's it's I

1584
01:37:15.319 --> 01:37:17.119
mean, it's a different thing when
you start. Honestly, it was never

1585
01:37:17.199 --> 01:37:20.720
that successful even for Activision when they
when they tried to do the snowboarding games,

1586
01:37:20.760 --> 01:37:25.119
because it's it's a different discipline,
it's a it's a different kind of

1587
01:37:25.159 --> 01:37:27.520
skill set. Well, and there's
two different kinds of games too, because

1588
01:37:27.560 --> 01:37:30.520
there's the racing game and then there's
the tricking game. And like that sect

1589
01:37:30.680 --> 01:37:34.439
a pretty good job of melding him. But like the Hampton were racing games,

1590
01:37:34.840 --> 01:37:41.600
that's the sorry, more tricking game. At least AMP three AM three

1591
01:37:41.680 --> 01:37:45.720
is the only snowboarding game that I
will say yes too, but not because

1592
01:37:45.720 --> 01:37:48.520
of the snowboarding. No, it's
not res are though it's okay, it

1593
01:37:48.600 --> 01:37:55.520
has skiing and MP three two right
then, but they've got two like it's

1594
01:37:55.560 --> 01:38:00.359
never they changed developers. No,
that was changed. No, they didn't

1595
01:38:00.399 --> 01:38:02.079
change developers. It was the developer
just when it went from Microsoft to two

1596
01:38:02.159 --> 01:38:04.760
K. But it was the same
developer. Yeah, and then the developer

1597
01:38:04.800 --> 01:38:08.039
went crazy. As I just say, like, no one cares about SnO

1598
01:38:08.039 --> 01:38:10.359
over to game. They just will
help. They went for broke, Yeah,

1599
01:38:10.720 --> 01:38:13.159
yeah, they it was it was
their saints for the third. They

1600
01:38:13.199 --> 01:38:15.960
had nothing left to lose. God, I hope that doesn't mean the volitions

1601
01:38:15.960 --> 01:38:17.119
going out of business. I was
just about to say, you should play

1602
01:38:17.319 --> 01:38:20.000
three. Have you never played?
I played? Okay? Good, I

1603
01:38:20.119 --> 01:38:24.319
never played him three? What I
haven't either? Well, you could just

1604
01:38:24.399 --> 01:38:27.119
go watch the quick look we put
up like all the cut scenes, because

1605
01:38:27.159 --> 01:38:30.000
that's the part you want to see
the best part. It's the only one

1606
01:38:30.039 --> 01:38:32.399
that came out on three sixty right
and on the two Xbox YEP, it

1607
01:38:32.520 --> 01:38:36.119
was a Lunch Launches. It was
a Launch Launches. Okay, it wasn't

1608
01:38:36.199 --> 01:38:40.640
it was that was one of the
original launch titles. Best Launch Game,

1609
01:38:40.720 --> 01:38:44.000
Best launch Game. I don't know, Man, Cameo, I was gonna

1610
01:38:44.039 --> 01:38:48.399
say, can Actually I might say
Project Gotham probably Project Probably mean my best

1611
01:38:48.520 --> 01:38:53.880
launch game, or actually, Challenge
re Wars is the best three sixty I

1612
01:38:53.920 --> 01:39:01.199
bought a three six Geometry Wars forgot
from amped to Cameo zero. Cameo was

1613
01:39:01.279 --> 01:39:08.560
never it was never the best cameo
was fine. Were talking about Peter Moore

1614
01:39:08.560 --> 01:39:10.520
gets very upset when you bring up
cameos, right, me and him,

1615
01:39:10.520 --> 01:39:18.000
We're getting tattoos stipped cameo s.
There are multiple control schemes in News,

1616
01:39:19.479 --> 01:39:24.479
some of which are meant to be
more like skate uh so they're they're trying

1617
01:39:24.479 --> 01:39:27.960
to incorporate some of that stuff and
maybe draw people in that are familiar with

1618
01:39:28.039 --> 01:39:32.119
that style of gameplay. I want
to see more of it. I'm not

1619
01:39:32.319 --> 01:39:36.920
convinced one way or the other.
Promising, Yeah, optimistic, I am.

1620
01:39:36.920 --> 01:39:42.199
I'm gonna be optimistic about it.
I feel like those guys kind of

1621
01:39:42.199 --> 01:39:45.880
know what they're doing. They kind
of know like some of the very specific,

1622
01:39:46.039 --> 01:39:50.720
like small detail things that that you
need in an SSX game to to

1623
01:39:50.840 --> 01:39:54.920
really work. So it's been long
enough for extreme sports to have some sort

1624
01:39:54.960 --> 01:39:57.279
of I don't think they were going
to be what they were kind of like,

1625
01:39:57.520 --> 01:40:00.960
you know, maybe based music games, but like there's a there's a

1626
01:40:00.079 --> 01:40:02.279
role for them. I think it's
been long enough people are willing to give

1627
01:40:02.319 --> 01:40:05.119
him a chance. Again. You
know, this is not an annualized franchise

1628
01:40:05.199 --> 01:40:08.359
kind of thing. It's not gonna
be a phenomenon like it used to be.

1629
01:40:09.079 --> 01:40:13.039
But there is a place for these
games. Uh. I wish somebody

1630
01:40:13.079 --> 01:40:16.520
would make an HD remake of Tony
Hawk pro Skater two, three or three.

1631
01:40:16.720 --> 01:40:18.840
I'd take either of those. Yeah, it should be both in one

1632
01:40:18.880 --> 01:40:21.359
package. Yeah, it should be
the two. I would play both of

1633
01:40:21.399 --> 01:40:25.079
those games a lot. Again,
that would be cool. Yeah, it's

1634
01:40:25.079 --> 01:40:27.560
such a good time. There should
just Yeah, it's just be a downloadle

1635
01:40:27.600 --> 01:40:30.600
thing. And they sell every single
level from every single Tony Hawk game to

1636
01:40:30.760 --> 01:40:35.359
you as DLC and at school Yard
level you actually have to go to the

1637
01:40:35.439 --> 01:40:39.560
store and you have to buy the
little fingers into the store and put those

1638
01:40:39.640 --> 01:40:45.079
power Ye wasn't that for the wakeboarding
game or one of those actively did sell,

1639
01:40:45.159 --> 01:40:50.680
like that peripheral you're talking about,
No, No, No Two,

1640
01:40:50.800 --> 01:40:55.960
which was not the Kelly Kelly Slater
was the Activision one just was take two

1641
01:40:56.199 --> 01:41:05.439
Koe Craze had featuring Koe did have
featuring Da Woo. But that's a skateboarding

1642
01:41:05.439 --> 01:41:08.479
game that was not snowboard. Yeah, but it still have the same snap

1643
01:41:08.600 --> 01:41:16.520
onto the analog sticks thing. Oh
it did that on under a skateboard and

1644
01:41:16.520 --> 01:41:19.920
you snapped it over the two analog
sticks and theoretically you put two fingers on

1645
01:41:20.000 --> 01:41:23.359
their controller and put it that way. And it didn't work for ship It

1646
01:41:23.359 --> 01:41:25.479
didn't. Yeah, you didn't.
That's not how you actually played the game.

1647
01:41:26.760 --> 01:41:30.239
But yan Ya Kabalista featuring Ga Woo, that's one of that's like Koe

1648
01:41:30.359 --> 01:41:33.399
Mash, that's like out there with
O you mean City Skater, No,

1649
01:41:33.760 --> 01:41:43.640
No, I mean Young It's like
that. And I remember the year Eddy

1650
01:41:43.760 --> 01:41:46.359
three when it was that and Guitaroo
Man where the fucking Koe Booth and Koe

1651
01:41:46.479 --> 01:41:53.039
Booth was fucking awesome. Koe's finest
here. They haven't had they haven't hit

1652
01:41:53.079 --> 01:41:55.000
it like that sense. No,
it was just like, you guys are

1653
01:41:55.119 --> 01:41:59.399
fucking out of your mind. Names
look crazy and I want to play more

1654
01:41:59.439 --> 01:42:04.520
of them all times and never picked
up what was the h Yeah? What

1655
01:42:04.720 --> 01:42:12.840
was the Criterion developed fucking hubboard games? Trick style? Tricks style? That

1656
01:42:12.960 --> 01:42:16.399
was all right? What were you
talking about? Sex? Sex? So,

1657
01:42:16.520 --> 01:42:18.199
Brad, what have you been playing? Yeah? Brad, what's up

1658
01:42:18.720 --> 01:42:20.840
is that it? Ye? Did
you want to talk about school girls?

1659
01:42:20.880 --> 01:42:24.439
Oh? Yeah, yeah, it
really brought skull girls through here. Played

1660
01:42:24.439 --> 01:42:26.760
a little bit of that. But
the fighting game, yes, yeah,

1661
01:42:27.239 --> 01:42:30.880
school game like really cool art style. Many skulls. I don't know there's

1662
01:42:30.880 --> 01:42:33.119
like many, like eight girls though, I see they all have one you

1663
01:42:33.159 --> 01:42:35.960
can throw around. Yeah, it
was exactly. Yeah, one of the

1664
01:42:36.119 --> 01:42:40.039
characters you can take her head off
and kind of throw it around and use

1665
01:42:40.119 --> 01:42:42.560
that to get on either side of
a guy. Is it one skull per

1666
01:42:42.680 --> 01:42:46.520
girl? There might be like two
girls one skulls situation here and there,

1667
01:42:46.560 --> 01:42:48.800
But I don't really know, really, Chocolate ice Cream Games, they haven't

1668
01:42:48.800 --> 01:42:53.479
revealed all the characters, so it's
hard to say for sure. Yeah,

1669
01:42:53.520 --> 01:42:57.039
I mean they're going for that kind
of like Capcom versus game sort of level

1670
01:42:57.159 --> 01:43:02.159
of of craziness and they used by
mix soft serve got it, m M,

1671
01:43:03.800 --> 01:43:10.000
what's up? But I don't know
ice cream at one thirty. I've

1672
01:43:10.039 --> 01:43:12.680
still never seen them. It is
I've still I've still never seen them.

1673
01:43:13.680 --> 01:43:15.920
No, I've never seen me either. It's it's not so bad, way

1674
01:43:15.960 --> 01:43:19.319
worse I've seen. I've seen Women
Party, I haven't seen that. You've

1675
01:43:19.359 --> 01:43:24.199
never seen Lemon Party. Whatever Lemon
Party is just that's team Lemon Party is

1676
01:43:24.279 --> 01:43:27.279
old school video. There are no
animals in that video at all. That's

1677
01:43:27.880 --> 01:43:34.199
sure, mister hands. That girl
looks a heavy. It's the eel one.

1678
01:43:34.720 --> 01:43:39.800
I regret bringing the one I've seen
the gift of that. I thought

1679
01:43:39.800 --> 01:43:43.760
that the vomit stuff was way worse
than Yeah, it's all Honestly, it's

1680
01:43:43.800 --> 01:43:46.439
into your own I guess anyone's gonna
have their own the own thing where they

1681
01:43:46.520 --> 01:43:51.119
reached the limit Chuck Yeager style test
pilot. But for online porn video,

1682
01:43:53.720 --> 01:43:57.720
I don't think. I think that's
where I black out. That's the one

1683
01:43:58.039 --> 01:44:02.199
I think I had to delete this
entire directory. I think I think I

1684
01:44:02.279 --> 01:44:06.840
think Tough Girl was about eight g's
for me, that was what I was

1685
01:44:06.880 --> 01:44:11.079
by the time that I'd already seen
so much stuff that was way worse than

1686
01:44:11.119 --> 01:44:14.039
that. That just bare that was
barely even a blip. Yeah, it

1687
01:44:14.159 --> 01:44:16.119
was like I went the other way. It's I didn't become tougher. I

1688
01:44:16.199 --> 01:44:23.039
became more fragile. I was like, I can't where it became this this

1689
01:44:23.439 --> 01:44:26.520
test pilot like thing is is I
got tougher and tougher and tougher, and

1690
01:44:26.560 --> 01:44:29.399
then once it broke, it broke
bad. You can't do whatever again.

1691
01:44:29.520 --> 01:44:31.439
Yeah. Yeah, Now it's just
like I'm not going to keep these videos

1692
01:44:31.479 --> 01:44:36.119
around to show to people when they
ask me what the Internet is? Anyone

1693
01:44:36.199 --> 01:44:40.640
ever asked? Not anymore, So
you know, they learned their less Yeah,

1694
01:44:40.640 --> 01:44:43.600
they learned their lesson. And when
you go to Jeff's house, don't

1695
01:44:43.880 --> 01:44:45.039
don't ask about that. It just
it didn't have anything to do with with

1696
01:44:45.359 --> 01:44:48.600
you know, people becoming more familiar
with the Internet overall on the Internet.

1697
01:44:48.640 --> 01:44:50.880
Oh you need to see this,
they just know, they just know don't

1698
01:44:51.439 --> 01:44:57.039
have internet. Jeff, I got
this director CNN all the time and check

1699
01:44:57.119 --> 01:45:01.319
this video out slash Internet just the
banking and I have these animated gifts.

1700
01:45:01.319 --> 01:45:04.680
I want you to see Internet five
dot MPG. You want to see something

1701
01:45:04.720 --> 01:45:11.920
really fucked up. Yeah, six
dot w m V the internet, seven

1702
01:45:11.920 --> 01:45:14.640
dot ASF. The gross out stuff
was one thing, but it was like

1703
01:45:14.800 --> 01:45:17.560
it was the extreme violence and malice
that I couldn't handle at some point,

1704
01:45:17.840 --> 01:45:20.800
like the like the checheny and soldier
thing, and like there's there's just some

1705
01:45:20.920 --> 01:45:28.399
new heading video. Yeah, I
never like there's some like drug cartel stuff

1706
01:45:28.399 --> 01:45:30.000
floating around recently, and I just
like I can't even approach that. You

1707
01:45:30.079 --> 01:45:34.680
don't don't mean cartel. If you
ever want to be reminded the video games

1708
01:45:34.720 --> 01:45:38.319
have not desensitized you, then feel
free to go look at that stuff.

1709
01:45:38.840 --> 01:45:41.039
That turns out. It turns out
games have and doutch shit to you,

1710
01:45:41.239 --> 01:45:44.680
like like actual, actual, like
rank you in humanity. And like just

1711
01:45:45.079 --> 01:45:47.720
when we were talking about that horse
Tanton woman the other day and everybody one

1712
01:45:47.760 --> 01:45:53.439
looked at We're like, oh my
god. The whole office like universally rejectedly

1713
01:45:53.479 --> 01:45:55.840
see it. I didn't I google
it because I didn't know. I didn't

1714
01:45:55.840 --> 01:45:58.199
don't know, don't I didn't go
too until together based on what you guys

1715
01:45:58.239 --> 01:46:00.760
were saying on Twitter, because you
weren't given the full picture for obvious reasons.

1716
01:46:01.159 --> 01:46:03.840
The place I ended up thankfully blurred
out everything but the lady's face.

1717
01:46:04.079 --> 01:46:06.680
Yeah, I got enough. I
got enough context from that. But I

1718
01:46:06.760 --> 01:46:09.880
was like, all right, there
were a lot of different colors in their

1719
01:46:12.079 --> 01:46:19.720
school Girls seems pretty cool. You're
welcome, Peter Barthelow. You know those

1720
01:46:19.800 --> 01:46:24.039
board developments, they're like, oh, he goes through the job podcast.

1721
01:46:24.640 --> 01:46:31.840
Yeah, around around one. Oh
no. The interesting thing about school Girls

1722
01:46:32.159 --> 01:46:38.399
for me, they showed a little
bits and pieces of five Stars. It

1723
01:46:38.479 --> 01:46:41.399
sounds amazing. I really can't wait
to see it. You guys did a

1724
01:46:41.439 --> 01:46:45.079
bang up jobs some of the training
and kind of tutorial stuff. That stuff

1725
01:46:45.079 --> 01:46:53.600
seems really interesting. Twining game similar
to non Japanese Evolve, similar to Marvel

1726
01:46:53.680 --> 01:46:57.319
versus Capcom two in some ways.
See That's why I wanted you to take

1727
01:46:57.359 --> 01:47:00.079
this demo, because I saw the
game a few months ago, and like,

1728
01:47:00.159 --> 01:47:01.560
you know, I played it and
appreciated it and whatever. Yeah,

1729
01:47:01.600 --> 01:47:05.880
like I needed somebody to translated into
layman speech, like exactly what it was.

1730
01:47:06.000 --> 01:47:08.760
Like. I know what a fighting
game is, but I want to

1731
01:47:08.800 --> 01:47:11.039
know what kind of fighting game,
you know? Tag. Basically, they

1732
01:47:11.079 --> 01:47:14.359
have the ratio system from like Capcom
First s K, where you can kind

1733
01:47:14.399 --> 01:47:16.520
of pick like a level three version
of a character or three level ones or

1734
01:47:16.600 --> 01:47:18.199
two and a one, you know, depending how you want to go.

1735
01:47:18.600 --> 01:47:23.760
So so it's not always TAG necessarily. You can't have exactly. You can

1736
01:47:23.960 --> 01:47:26.560
have a more powerful solo character if
that's how you want to roll, and

1737
01:47:26.720 --> 01:47:30.279
more powerful means they hit harder and
they have more health or yeah, they

1738
01:47:30.319 --> 01:47:31.880
have more health for sure. I
don't know about the hitting harder will.

1739
01:47:31.960 --> 01:47:36.079
To put it in context, the
reason I was interested but also intimidated by

1740
01:47:36.119 --> 01:47:41.399
this game is that there's like some
kind of tournament level EVO type people working

1741
01:47:41.439 --> 01:47:43.800
on it. Okay, so so
it's a scary hardcore game. Yeah,

1742
01:47:44.399 --> 01:47:46.279
it seems like they're kind of positioning. Yeah, I think that's going to

1743
01:47:46.359 --> 01:47:49.520
ultimately be the crowded appeals to.
But at the same time, this tutorial

1744
01:47:49.600 --> 01:47:54.840
thing has the if done right,
it has the opportunity to open up an

1745
01:47:54.840 --> 01:47:57.640
audience not only to that game,
but to fighting games in general, because

1746
01:47:57.680 --> 01:47:59.600
some of the stuff there, you
know, there's a lot of place order

1747
01:47:59.640 --> 01:48:00.800
texts. But it was like,
this is gonna be the tutorial that teaches

1748
01:48:00.840 --> 01:48:03.720
you what a hit confirm is and
just like kind of going through like here's

1749
01:48:03.720 --> 01:48:10.439
what no TG is here fighting theory
as opposed to fighting mechanic, Like,

1750
01:48:10.479 --> 01:48:14.079
it's just here's what this game does
within the fighting. It's not just it's

1751
01:48:14.119 --> 01:48:15.680
not just a list of moves and
says like this is a combo, now

1752
01:48:15.840 --> 01:48:19.439
do it. It's it's like here's
Yeah, it might actually try to teach

1753
01:48:19.479 --> 01:48:24.520
you theory and block, but I
don't know shit about watching frames and and

1754
01:48:24.680 --> 01:48:28.439
hit confirms and all those scary stuff
that you like. And I barely have

1755
01:48:28.520 --> 01:48:30.520
a handle. I know just enough
about fighting games at this point to be

1756
01:48:30.720 --> 01:48:34.439
dangerous to myself where I try to
do too much and lose all the time.

1757
01:48:35.439 --> 01:48:39.079
And it's a it's a bad spot
to be in because it's like I'm

1758
01:48:40.039 --> 01:48:42.880
better than a lot of the people
that kind of casually care about fighting games

1759
01:48:42.920 --> 01:48:45.600
that played Street Fighter back in the
day, but you get me in against

1760
01:48:45.600 --> 01:48:47.199
the people that are actually still serious
about those games, and I just gotta

1761
01:48:47.199 --> 01:48:50.680
eating up every time. Yeah,
And it's this, yeah totally. So

1762
01:48:51.000 --> 01:48:54.520
it's and and what you're describing,
though, is the thing that has been

1763
01:48:54.560 --> 01:48:57.680
missing from like literally every single one
of these games. It's been part of

1764
01:48:57.720 --> 01:49:00.720
this since Street Fighter four and since
like kind of fight games kind of came

1765
01:49:00.760 --> 01:49:03.279
back this resurgence, like this is
what is needed to move this forward.

1766
01:49:03.359 --> 01:49:08.000
It's not enough to have you know, here's a website devoted to fighting game

1767
01:49:08.079 --> 01:49:11.359
is where this community gathers and says
racist things to each other, Like it

1768
01:49:11.479 --> 01:49:15.319
needs to be something that actually can
invite new players in and help them understand

1769
01:49:15.399 --> 01:49:18.800
why these games mattered so much back
in the nineties and why do some people

1770
01:49:18.840 --> 01:49:23.159
they still matter now And if they
get this mode right, this could be

1771
01:49:23.319 --> 01:49:26.880
the game that does it well because
interesting, and then strip it off and

1772
01:49:26.880 --> 01:49:30.920
then everyone should steal it for every
fighting game. Everybody should check out this

1773
01:49:30.000 --> 01:49:34.840
game that's pretty cost exactly, like
can use it to understand what this genre

1774
01:49:34.920 --> 01:49:38.319
really is all about, like right
around with the trainer wheels on, well,

1775
01:49:38.399 --> 01:49:40.279
so you figure everything out. And
then and then the character design,

1776
01:49:40.319 --> 01:49:42.880
like the stuff that's specific to the
game, like the I really like the

1777
01:49:42.960 --> 01:49:45.439
character designed. It seems like it
control's pretty well. And then all that

1778
01:49:45.479 --> 01:49:48.960
sort of stuff. At some point
it's too much for me, even because

1779
01:49:49.119 --> 01:49:53.000
the Versus games was where I kind
of broke and just went like this is

1780
01:49:53.039 --> 01:49:57.680
too I nope, do not want
to understand how Marvel versus Capcom two is

1781
01:49:57.720 --> 01:50:00.279
played. It is too crazy.
How many how many screens can you jump?

1782
01:50:00.680 --> 01:50:04.239
Some characters can double jump, some
can't. But it's not necessarily about

1783
01:50:04.279 --> 01:50:08.439
like rocketing super high up into the
sky for your air combos and that sort

1784
01:50:08.439 --> 01:50:12.880
of stuff like the Marvel games.
So it's a little more I was gonna

1785
01:50:12.880 --> 01:50:15.079
say, based in reality, but
it's it's not. It's definitely not based

1786
01:50:15.119 --> 01:50:16.640
on reality. Down to Earth,
yeah, a little more down earth literally.

1787
01:50:17.359 --> 01:50:21.680
How's the as the animation? Great? Yeah, yeah, a lot

1788
01:50:21.720 --> 01:50:24.479
of frames, like, yeah,
they're really nice. Look at stuff they

1789
01:50:24.479 --> 01:50:27.399
put up some videos of the like
just the man hours going into that stuff,

1790
01:50:27.399 --> 01:50:30.800
and it's just like insane thousands of
frames of hand drawn stuff. I

1791
01:50:30.840 --> 01:50:32.760
think. I think that's probably why
they're gonna have like eight characters, and

1792
01:50:33.000 --> 01:50:38.199
you know it's but they're they're doing
their best to make all those characters super

1793
01:50:38.279 --> 01:50:43.640
different. And yeah, it sounds
really interesting from from it plays well,

1794
01:50:43.800 --> 01:50:45.079
and it sounds a string from the
things that they have left to do on

1795
01:50:45.199 --> 01:50:48.520
it. It's come out next year. I mean if yeah, what you're

1796
01:50:48.560 --> 01:50:53.239
describing that is literally the gap.
That's the like I can't like I could

1797
01:50:53.560 --> 01:50:57.560
pick up Street Fight or four and
go through like the moves list stuff.

1798
01:50:58.239 --> 01:51:01.079
Yeah, but but like all of
these games, learning anything makes some big

1799
01:51:01.119 --> 01:51:05.920
assumptions about what you know about fighting
games, even like to a certain degree,

1800
01:51:06.000 --> 01:51:09.800
MK, like that's a much more
approachable game than a lot of these

1801
01:51:09.840 --> 01:51:12.439
other ones. Yeah, but even
still, it's like I'm not sure,

1802
01:51:12.840 --> 01:51:16.239
I don't I don't know how it's
it's it's why and when are the things

1803
01:51:16.319 --> 01:51:19.920
that don't get ever get touched in
fighting game tutorials? Yeah, why do

1804
01:51:20.000 --> 01:51:24.760
I need? Yeah? Yeah,
so if if they can, if they

1805
01:51:24.800 --> 01:51:27.199
can really teach that stuff, I
think that'll that'll go a long way to

1806
01:51:27.960 --> 01:51:31.520
making their game more accessible to a
wider audience because uh and I think without

1807
01:51:31.560 --> 01:51:34.680
that stuff, it'll be a game
that appeals to like the the kind of

1808
01:51:34.760 --> 01:51:40.319
existing fighting game community probably just fine. But like some tutorials, like one

1809
01:51:40.319 --> 01:51:43.840
of them was like a different like
like basic in advanced and like expert like

1810
01:51:43.920 --> 01:51:45.640
blocking mechanisms, so like it would
said up like a certain amount of frames

1811
01:51:45.680 --> 01:51:48.359
that you have to block between upper
and lower, so you get a better

1812
01:51:48.479 --> 01:51:51.000
understanding of like it's not just a
matter of blocking, it's a matter of

1813
01:51:51.079 --> 01:51:56.399
blocking and anticipating. Knowing what the
mix ups look like is a big part

1814
01:51:56.439 --> 01:51:59.000
of it, so, you know, wouldn't you end up getting really good

1815
01:51:59.000 --> 01:52:01.079
at a fighting game not only know
your character, you have to know every

1816
01:52:01.319 --> 01:52:03.760
character because you have to know what's
coming at you and how to deal with

1817
01:52:03.800 --> 01:52:06.399
it. When when you're looking at
like Super Street Fighter four where there's sixty

1818
01:52:06.439 --> 01:52:10.239
five characters, is something ridiculous.
It's just that it's like, I'm never

1819
01:52:10.319 --> 01:52:12.920
gonna get that, Like I have
d's into that. Yeah, yeah,

1820
01:52:13.159 --> 01:52:15.479
I think it's uh, not just
with this game, but I think it's

1821
01:52:15.479 --> 01:52:18.039
exciting to see people go out and
take a stab at taking this like like

1822
01:52:18.119 --> 01:52:21.439
this genre that is confined to like
a sixty dollars retail space and moving it

1823
01:52:21.479 --> 01:52:25.680
into like a fifteen dollars downloadle and
also a very small number of franchises.

1824
01:52:25.960 --> 01:52:29.319
Yeah, it's well, like like
some people tried it a few months or

1825
01:52:29.319 --> 01:52:30.800
maybe a year ago with granted,
and maybe it didn't work out so well

1826
01:52:30.880 --> 01:52:34.279
that like there were some call of
duty style like military multiplayer shoot right,

1827
01:52:34.520 --> 01:52:38.840
but you normally would see as an
as a component of a sixty dollars disc

1828
01:52:38.880 --> 01:52:41.279
game, right, And like seeing
games like that, even if they don't

1829
01:52:41.279 --> 01:52:44.279
work out, seeing somebody make an
attempt at at bringing that to a smaller

1830
01:52:44.319 --> 01:52:49.640
scale. It seems neat all.
Right, Brad, what's up? I

1831
01:52:49.680 --> 01:52:54.520
don't know since sitting here any games
playing you want to talking about? Uh?

1832
01:52:55.600 --> 01:52:57.840
In terms of big boy games?
I like probably talking more about the

1833
01:52:57.880 --> 01:53:01.279
games I wish I was playing.
It's like Saints, ye, what about

1834
01:53:01.399 --> 01:53:05.640
not about little A lot of a
lot of like indie games on Steam lately.

1835
01:53:06.079 --> 01:53:10.800
Whatever reason why we gotta do our
IGF stuff too? Yeah, dude,

1836
01:53:10.800 --> 01:53:14.560
I gotta get started a lot of
games to play and evaluate anything to

1837
01:53:14.720 --> 01:53:16.560
to recommend on the things that it's
It's kind of always the thing whenever you

1838
01:53:16.840 --> 01:53:23.000
like hidden gems, these these indie
games and the small downloada bulls and stuff.

1839
01:53:23.119 --> 01:53:26.279
Just like there's just so goddamn many, like even just going where to

1840
01:53:26.279 --> 01:53:29.520
start. I wouldn't call him hidden
necessarily because Steam has been promoting the hell

1841
01:53:29.560 --> 01:53:30.920
out of them. They do.
But it's like there's one of these or

1842
01:53:31.000 --> 01:53:33.760
there's like, you know, three
of these everywhere, there's a lot.

1843
01:53:33.880 --> 01:53:36.680
That's the thing. It's and and
just from at a glance, like there's

1844
01:53:36.840 --> 01:53:40.720
no way to tell if any of
this is And it's a lot of stuff

1845
01:53:40.760 --> 01:53:43.319
that's been coming to consoles too,
and it just makes its way to Steam

1846
01:53:43.319 --> 01:53:45.399
as well, and like again,
you know, it's kind of like the

1847
01:53:45.439 --> 01:53:46.600
theme of this podcast, like a
nicer looking version, you know, like

1848
01:53:46.640 --> 01:53:49.760
it's gonna running resolution. Yeah,
Like Rochard was the big one where it

1849
01:53:49.840 --> 01:53:53.960
was like that came out on PSN
at a time when we were all super

1850
01:53:54.000 --> 01:53:57.880
busy and I had no time to
put yeah, like yeah, right when

1851
01:53:57.880 --> 01:54:00.920
things were camping up. Yeah,
but even stuff like Renegade Ops, like

1852
01:54:00.159 --> 01:54:03.600
yeah, I mean that game looks
fantastic on PC. Trying two is still

1853
01:54:03.600 --> 01:54:08.239
coming out, really, that is
in the next couple of weeks. Played

1854
01:54:08.239 --> 01:54:10.680
a little bit of that. Okay, gosh, I like you have not

1855
01:54:10.920 --> 01:54:13.399
If you have not played Trying,
you need to go fix that immediately.

1856
01:54:13.880 --> 01:54:15.319
Absolutely one of the best games in
the last couple of years. First Trying

1857
01:54:15.479 --> 01:54:20.399
was three player action puzzle platform or
just even gorgeous even by yourself. Did

1858
01:54:20.439 --> 01:54:23.840
you know play I play it?
Did it didn't? It didn't hook me.

1859
01:54:24.119 --> 01:54:27.199
You got to give him the chance, so good. Love the hell

1860
01:54:27.239 --> 01:54:30.760
out of that game. Play at
three sixty controller and even by yourself,

1861
01:54:30.800 --> 01:54:33.239
even by yourself. Yeah, switching
the different because every character had different strengths

1862
01:54:33.279 --> 01:54:36.119
and weaknesses, but they're all totally
viable in every sit If you can play

1863
01:54:36.159 --> 01:54:42.319
two players with that, then that's
a life two people. It has online

1864
01:54:42.359 --> 01:54:47.960
co ops. Clothe is a dog
ran Yeah, clothes a dog cloth could

1865
01:54:47.960 --> 01:54:53.239
be the brute. It is because
a woman, she's a bit. She's

1866
01:54:53.239 --> 01:54:55.840
a real bitch. Ryan. I
don't I don't know. Gosh damn,

1867
01:54:56.000 --> 01:54:58.279
you are filling the viny chair real
nicely over here. I don't know.

1868
01:54:58.359 --> 01:55:03.720
I haven't said the other word warming
up to it. ABC's right. I

1869
01:55:03.760 --> 01:55:06.159
don't know if I don't know,
if trying is INDI the way that some

1870
01:55:06.239 --> 01:55:10.199
of these games are indy, like
like Rochard was made by like three dudes

1871
01:55:10.239 --> 01:55:13.159
who used to work at Remedy.
It isn't small. I mean, it's

1872
01:55:13.199 --> 01:55:16.119
probably just because Atlas is publishing the
Maybe this real weird when I fired up

1873
01:55:16.199 --> 01:55:18.640
last night seeing the Atlas logo on
a PC game, like you don't see

1874
01:55:18.640 --> 01:55:21.279
it all Like it's like whoa,
okay, yeah, but I mean,

1875
01:55:21.479 --> 01:55:25.640
you know, three guys break out
of working on Alan Wake and go make

1876
01:55:25.680 --> 01:55:29.439
this game Like that's Waves is basically
a drum Show Wars clone that's like eight

1877
01:55:29.560 --> 01:55:32.039
fifty on Steam right now. Is
made by one dude with with some music

1878
01:55:32.119 --> 01:55:34.439
and a little bit of stuff from
few other people, but essentially like a

1879
01:55:34.520 --> 01:55:38.359
guy Unreal Engine. Yeah, and
that's an Unreal Engine game. Yeow.

1880
01:55:39.479 --> 01:55:42.600
Yeah, that's Sideway New York game. It's maybe a little shaky on the

1881
01:55:42.640 --> 01:55:45.479
PC, but it's cool that they
got it out. Like just a lot

1882
01:55:45.560 --> 01:55:47.399
of a lot of like just a
lot of good small time stuff. Coming

1883
01:55:47.560 --> 01:55:51.239
today, relaunched Cave Story. It's
called Cave Story plus PC and Mac with

1884
01:55:51.359 --> 01:55:56.760
like Steam integration. What is that? It's not the three D stuff plus

1885
01:55:57.039 --> 01:56:00.359
No, it's it's basically just like
an even more enhanced version of the we

1886
01:56:00.640 --> 01:56:02.720
version which had the enhanced sprites,
which has a new boss. Is now

1887
01:56:02.800 --> 01:56:06.159
the time to play? I have
not stor that would be the time to

1888
01:56:06.159 --> 01:56:11.199
play? They finally finish it.
This is the ultimate, Yeah, because

1889
01:56:11.199 --> 01:56:15.560
that guy's moving on. They need
to make a cave store too. Guy

1890
01:56:15.600 --> 01:56:17.560
said he's gonna go do that,
so that that's probably happening. This is

1891
01:56:17.600 --> 01:56:20.600
like the ultimate version. This is
like the the high Rose HD version of

1892
01:56:20.680 --> 01:56:25.119
the remake made for we Wear.
That's all with like Steam achievements and everything

1893
01:56:25.199 --> 01:56:28.720
like that. So this is the
version to finally play. I didn't play

1894
01:56:28.840 --> 01:56:30.439
side by side, but the actual
three D version on the three DS seemed

1895
01:56:30.479 --> 01:56:33.479
like it maybe lost some responsiveness.
I think the two D one in the

1896
01:56:33.560 --> 01:56:36.199
high roses don't play that probably the
best one to play. This is the

1897
01:56:36.279 --> 01:56:41.680
version to play. Okay, uh
yeah, and Minecraft is done? Yeah

1898
01:56:41.720 --> 01:56:44.560
that's anyone, anyone going back to
Minecraft? Anyone. I played it for

1899
01:56:44.600 --> 01:56:46.279
ten minutes on Fridays, still didn't
get it. I should probably go update

1900
01:56:46.359 --> 01:56:49.680
my client, right, you just
you just just log into the existing client

1901
01:56:49.760 --> 01:56:53.319
and it was just automatically upgrade.
To one point, I've changed PCs since

1902
01:56:53.319 --> 01:56:55.720
the last time I played minecrafts aren't
even have anything. I don't even I'd

1903
01:56:55.720 --> 01:56:58.279
have to go recover my past work. It's really I did the same.

1904
01:56:58.279 --> 01:57:01.920
It's it takes five seconds. The
server is still full, like there's still

1905
01:57:01.920 --> 01:57:06.439
people in the server. All I
said, Hey, well it had come

1906
01:57:06.520 --> 01:57:13.359
to the test in Vegas last week. Yeah, and this sounds like news

1907
01:57:13.439 --> 01:57:15.760
to me. I don't know,
I know, Okay, Well, I

1908
01:57:15.840 --> 01:57:17.640
just want to say I have a
friend who like went with his ten year

1909
01:57:17.680 --> 01:57:21.640
old son to mind con and his
kid was just losing its fucking mind the

1910
01:57:21.800 --> 01:57:28.479
entire Yeah. Yeah. Someone wrote
it at one point and suggested that fucking

1911
01:57:28.640 --> 01:57:31.880
Minecraft became wow without anyone realizing it. But it's like, wow, kids,

1912
01:57:31.920 --> 01:57:33.720
I don't know if it's I don't
know if it's gone that far,

1913
01:57:33.840 --> 01:57:36.479
but yeah, it's a it's a
crazy, crazy thing. Yeah, I

1914
01:57:36.479 --> 01:57:41.920
mean you can't build a forty five
story dick and wow, you can't.

1915
01:57:42.479 --> 01:57:48.079
Well, I finished Modern war I
finished Modern Warfare three last night, and

1916
01:57:48.680 --> 01:57:54.000
that's absurd. Yeah, in a
totally different kind of way. You know

1917
01:57:54.960 --> 01:58:01.439
that last Is it worth playing?
Are what it's It's so sure that it's

1918
01:58:01.520 --> 01:58:04.680
like I can't tell, I can't
tell anymore for sure you should do it

1919
01:58:04.720 --> 01:58:06.920
just to say you did it.
I can't play it in the living room

1920
01:58:06.920 --> 01:58:14.199
though, because the game pad and
support it moves you moved through No really,

1921
01:58:14.399 --> 01:58:17.520
no black Ops did black Eyed how
the tray arch ones do? Then

1922
01:58:17.840 --> 01:58:20.079
this is the way. This is
where the tray arch ones are superior.

1923
01:58:20.439 --> 01:58:24.359
This is so I suspect that,
you know, everyone who knew how to

1924
01:58:24.439 --> 01:58:28.359
code that stuff in Affinity Ward is
now a respawn. So it's almost like

1925
01:58:28.520 --> 01:58:34.199
Modern Warfare three is running like on
a platform civilized fork of the engine than

1926
01:58:34.319 --> 01:58:40.119
than what because is is Battlefield three
on the PC playable with the game pad

1927
01:58:40.119 --> 01:58:42.880
at all? No, not at
all. It works. No, but

1928
01:58:44.760 --> 01:58:47.600
don't the quick time you need you
need to have the keyboard mouse in front

1929
01:58:47.600 --> 01:58:50.000
of you for the quick time starts
really dumb. They may have patched that

1930
01:58:50.000 --> 01:58:53.079
by now, I haven't. I
haven't touched it in two weeks. And

1931
01:58:53.119 --> 01:58:55.960
it doesn't change any of the button. Yeah, so it doesn't change so

1932
01:58:56.199 --> 01:58:59.800
specs. I didn't play any online. I only went through the story.

1933
01:59:00.119 --> 01:59:04.479
And uh, it's it's got some
cool moments. Man, you shoot so

1934
01:59:04.600 --> 01:59:09.920
many dudes. I really can't.
I can't stress enough how many dudes you

1935
01:59:10.039 --> 01:59:14.560
shoot. I realize it is a
first person shooter. You really it is

1936
01:59:14.640 --> 01:59:19.800
the most first first shoot so many
dudes in that game. Did you end

1937
01:59:19.880 --> 01:59:24.000
up playing it uneasy? I did? You mentioned? Yeah, because I

1938
01:59:24.079 --> 01:59:26.920
was like, there's no difference between
playing on easy and normal as far as

1939
01:59:27.000 --> 01:59:29.720
like, you know, points or
whatever. And it's not like I care

1940
01:59:29.760 --> 01:59:32.800
about the skill experience in this.
I'm here for the you know, bombast

1941
01:59:32.840 --> 01:59:38.880
in the spectacle, which it has
in spades. But I feel like,

1942
01:59:40.079 --> 01:59:42.239
and it's you know, it's at
a certain point it's hard for me to

1943
01:59:42.439 --> 01:59:48.560
to sort of to have any sort
of objectivity on this, but I kind

1944
01:59:48.600 --> 01:59:54.720
of feel like you can tell that
the developer is not as confident as it

1945
01:59:54.880 --> 01:59:59.840
once was, that there there are
things about that game specifically, it's like

1946
02:00:00.039 --> 02:00:03.119
it doesn't have quite the same confidence
as as Cab Duty four or Modern Warfare

1947
02:00:03.199 --> 02:00:09.239
two to have quiet moments like the
like the sniper stuff and the stell stuff

1948
02:00:09.279 --> 02:00:13.039
in Call of Duty four, Like
the way they were able to build tension

1949
02:00:13.159 --> 02:00:17.920
and have like these really amazing moments
of like a sense of player agency within

1950
02:00:18.119 --> 02:00:21.039
a scripted event, like it was
this crazy thing why moms. You just

1951
02:00:21.119 --> 02:00:24.800
feel like maybe they ran out of
time to add explosions. Well in this

1952
02:00:24.880 --> 02:00:27.760
one, I feel like like this
is not even intentional, this is just

1953
02:00:27.920 --> 02:00:30.119
well we had eighteen months. No, you guys read what happened. The

1954
02:00:30.319 --> 02:00:34.039
quiet moments in this one. It's
it's like they're like, we can't let

1955
02:00:34.119 --> 02:00:36.680
this go quiet, like nobody something
needs to blow up. We can't thirty

1956
02:00:36.680 --> 02:00:40.359
seconds. Yeah, it's been too
long since something crazy happened. We need

1957
02:00:40.439 --> 02:00:43.680
to. It's like they've they've worked
themselves into this corner where it's like no

1958
02:00:43.840 --> 02:00:45.319
things have to constantly, which you
know, Jeff, we were talking about

1959
02:00:45.319 --> 02:00:47.439
this song on the commute in this
morning, like it kind of makes sense.

1960
02:00:47.439 --> 02:00:51.640
It's World War three and it's kind
before it hasn't it hasn't quite jumped

1961
02:00:51.640 --> 02:00:57.399
off yet, so you have a
quiet moment you can't you can't, you

1962
02:00:57.439 --> 02:01:00.960
can't appreciate the explosions and the crazy
because it's a great a certain point,

1963
02:01:00.000 --> 02:01:03.880
you're just I'd rather just watch this
to be scripted and me not even play

1964
02:01:04.239 --> 02:01:08.560
because it's like, what's like,
I'm just not I'm just yeah, what's

1965
02:01:08.600 --> 02:01:13.880
my involvement? Yeah, Like it
just built and build and building, and

1966
02:01:13.920 --> 02:01:16.319
there was no release. I think
the difference with Crisis too is I didn't

1967
02:01:16.319 --> 02:01:19.159
care about anything that was building towards, like story wise, it was just

1968
02:01:19.239 --> 02:01:23.239
like, yeah, it was really
uninteresting, Like the story just wasn't.

1969
02:01:23.439 --> 02:01:29.000
I've with Modern Warfare the trilogy,
at least they have crafted characters that you

1970
02:01:29.199 --> 02:01:30.800
can name and go like, oh, okay, I want to see what

1971
02:01:30.880 --> 02:01:34.239
happens to Captain Price. Sure at
this point, at this point for me,

1972
02:01:34.760 --> 02:01:41.159
it is just Price and he has
uh kind of you know, maybe

1973
02:01:41.239 --> 02:01:45.920
it's it's just how I recall things, but he seems much more of a

1974
02:01:45.000 --> 02:01:47.399
cartoon. Talk about this game,
can we just say, like, hey,

1975
02:01:47.399 --> 02:01:49.319
if you haven't played this game,
you want to turn it off,

1976
02:01:49.399 --> 02:01:53.760
and can we do that? I
am such a person I could just leave

1977
02:01:53.800 --> 02:01:58.279
the room. Well, I mean
I can. It doesn't matter, dude,

1978
02:01:58.319 --> 02:02:00.600
that's the only thing that's gonna compel
me to it. Okay, I

1979
02:02:01.079 --> 02:02:10.239
said, I'm not interested in talking
like specific beats, like like that's not

1980
02:02:10.880 --> 02:02:14.439
well, it's it's just that specific
beats in modern warfare three are like things

1981
02:02:14.479 --> 02:02:16.800
are cast off that shouldn't have that
should have been dealt with a lot better.

1982
02:02:16.960 --> 02:02:18.680
You know what, I'll be back
in ten minutes. Just have had

1983
02:02:18.720 --> 02:02:23.239
it. No, No, to
put your headphones back down. I'm not

1984
02:02:23.239 --> 02:02:26.079
gonna spend that much time talking about
this. I agree there are things that

1985
02:02:26.479 --> 02:02:29.239
are not given to the gravity that
they ought to, but again, they

1986
02:02:29.319 --> 02:02:31.439
have created this for even I mean, there are people out there that say,

1987
02:02:31.479 --> 02:02:34.039
like, it's ridiculous that you even
care about the story in these games,

1988
02:02:34.439 --> 02:02:39.479
and you know, I get what
they're saying, but like the told

1989
02:02:39.560 --> 02:02:42.239
story, even if I had told
a story even by its own rules,

1990
02:02:42.279 --> 02:02:45.479
even by like like hey we try
and you know, do these things and

1991
02:02:45.680 --> 02:02:49.039
and create this these connections here,
like within the story or the characters or

1992
02:02:49.079 --> 02:02:53.319
whatever, things that should have been
like shock at all moments like I can't

1993
02:02:53.319 --> 02:02:57.279
believe they did that thing had did
not have that gravity at all in this

1994
02:02:57.399 --> 02:03:00.920
game. Well that's the problem right
in New La, and f you've done

1995
02:03:00.960 --> 02:03:03.720
that, then there's no shock anymore
because you've nuked La. Well it's even

1996
02:03:03.800 --> 02:03:05.840
less. That's just the twists when
they come here, just kind of like

1997
02:03:06.800 --> 02:03:11.800
like RL he well, I guess
that's your way of And I also like

1998
02:03:11.920 --> 02:03:17.279
Conning the franchise, and I also
like I I am no longer uh smitten

1999
02:03:17.359 --> 02:03:21.880
with the storytelling devices that modern warfare. You like the the in between,

2000
02:03:23.000 --> 02:03:30.920
like faceless voices and like CG lasers, but they've all becomes so like the

2001
02:03:31.000 --> 02:03:36.680
tactical displays have all become so crazy
and and over the top and laser light

2002
02:03:36.720 --> 02:03:40.199
show. I don't feel like I'm
like looking at some screen in the command

2003
02:03:40.319 --> 02:03:43.159
room anywhere anymore. And it's hard
to even tell what you should be looking

2004
02:03:43.199 --> 02:03:45.239
at in some of those situations because
it's just like a lot of weird information

2005
02:03:46.720 --> 02:03:51.000
and there's like one British voice and
then there's this other British voice and what

2006
02:03:51.079 --> 02:03:53.920
are you going to It's like,
what are you gonna do? I'm gonna

2007
02:03:54.000 --> 02:03:57.760
kill them all and it's just like
action movie cliches are just fucking falling fashion

2008
02:03:57.760 --> 02:04:00.720
and furious. And I think that
that's that's one of the things that like

2009
02:04:00.399 --> 02:04:03.640
it took this game coming out,
I think for me to appreciate some of

2010
02:04:03.720 --> 02:04:09.840
the things that Black Ops did.
Yeah, but the storytelling device of coming

2011
02:04:09.880 --> 02:04:13.960
back to that chair, like multiple
times over the course of the game and

2012
02:04:14.119 --> 02:04:17.079
saying like, this is this this
story is primarily about this one character.

2013
02:04:17.560 --> 02:04:20.600
They're gonna be moments where you play
as other characters, but it's only in

2014
02:04:20.720 --> 02:04:26.000
service of filling in the gaps in
this character's kind of timeline, but by

2015
02:04:26.039 --> 02:04:28.359
and large way to come back to
this chair and say, like what happened

2016
02:04:28.399 --> 02:04:30.199
next, and this guy is gonna, you know, kind of be the

2017
02:04:30.319 --> 02:04:32.960
centerpiece of that story. Good anchor
it is. It was. It was

2018
02:04:33.000 --> 02:04:36.720
an solid anchor for for that game, and it allowed them to jump around.

2019
02:04:36.760 --> 02:04:40.680
So you're like, Okay, why
is there suddenly this dramatic change in

2020
02:04:40.720 --> 02:04:43.399
theater? Oh, this is why. And the other thing about Black Ops

2021
02:04:43.520 --> 02:04:45.960
was that that game never lost plausibility, Like there was some crazy shit that

2022
02:04:46.000 --> 02:04:56.880
happened, but it was all secret
crazy well maybe almost almost forgetting ridiculous.

2023
02:04:57.000 --> 02:04:59.920
Yeah, And the end of that
game, the very end of that game,

2024
02:05:00.359 --> 02:05:06.960
Super America top to the very end, Yeah, top of the Black

2025
02:05:08.000 --> 02:05:11.920
Ops campaign better than this campaign.
That's kind of toss up. There are

2026
02:05:11.920 --> 02:05:14.720
a few moments in this there are
a few moments still that I still prefer

2027
02:05:14.840 --> 02:05:19.680
Modern Warfare two and Call of Duty
four. Uh yeah, different ways.

2028
02:05:20.000 --> 02:05:23.119
I think that is an easy call. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

2029
02:05:24.359 --> 02:05:26.880
yeah, that's that's yeah exactly.
It's not a real controversial, but

2030
02:05:26.960 --> 02:05:31.720
it's but it's it's like thinking about
those games and like there was some gravity,

2031
02:05:31.960 --> 02:05:36.359
Like for there's plenty of ridiculous like
you know, Machi's mo moments in

2032
02:05:36.600 --> 02:05:43.000
Call of Duty four, but there's
a gravity to the stuff that happens when

2033
02:05:43.199 --> 02:05:46.439
they trade that they trade on when
they go completely over the top in Modern

2034
02:05:46.479 --> 02:05:50.239
Warfare two, where you're like,
okay, this you know, grounded in

2035
02:05:50.319 --> 02:05:54.960
this other thing that that made sense, that was it was a world that

2036
02:05:55.039 --> 02:05:58.279
I recognized. So then when you
turn on its fucking head in the second

2037
02:05:58.359 --> 02:06:00.199
one, it's like, holy shit, it's it's that much more impactful.

2038
02:06:01.640 --> 02:06:04.319
But that connection I feel has been
lost. And well, I mean all

2039
02:06:04.359 --> 02:06:06.800
Modern Warfare three really did is like, well, I mean, we can

2040
02:06:06.960 --> 02:06:10.239
kind of turn it up a little
bit louder. We're pretty close to the

2041
02:06:10.239 --> 02:06:13.960
top here, but let's just just
a little bit. And there's some moments

2042
02:06:14.000 --> 02:06:15.039
in it that are amazing. There
are some moments that are just like like

2043
02:06:15.399 --> 02:06:19.560
great airplane sequences. The highlight of
that game. I think, oh yeah,

2044
02:06:19.640 --> 02:06:25.079
yeah, and uh, that is
worth experiencing, like like it does

2045
02:06:25.239 --> 02:06:27.560
some of the physics, it looks
crazy. Oh yeah, yeah that stuff.

2046
02:06:27.640 --> 02:06:30.000
Yeah, that stuff that's that's real
crazy easily and the fact that you

2047
02:06:30.680 --> 02:06:33.760
start in one place and go to
the next episode, even how small the

2048
02:06:33.800 --> 02:06:39.239
maps are in that game. Generally, that is that that is that feels

2049
02:06:39.279 --> 02:06:42.479
like it just as good as anything
from Modern Warfare one and two in terms

2050
02:06:42.520 --> 02:06:45.640
of pulling off a spectacle without it
feeling like it's ridiculous. But you have

2051
02:06:45.800 --> 02:06:48.439
like your jaw dropped the entire time
and you're enjoying it and it's not and

2052
02:06:48.479 --> 02:06:51.560
you're in control for most of it
too. But my favorite stuff in that

2053
02:06:51.600 --> 02:06:55.079
game, other than that moment,
I forgot about that, just like you

2054
02:06:55.119 --> 02:06:59.600
know, daytime New York, like
you know, bright clear blue skies and

2055
02:07:00.079 --> 02:07:02.399
just this military chaos that's happening.
Like they sell some of that stuff really

2056
02:07:02.439 --> 02:07:05.119
really well the stuff that was showing
like originally like it was the first like

2057
02:07:05.159 --> 02:07:09.680
trailer stuff at E three, Like
all those sequences are early game are pretty

2058
02:07:09.680 --> 02:07:13.039
fun if it just kind of it
definitely drags towards the middle and the end

2059
02:07:15.920 --> 02:07:20.000
exactly. I mean, because because
it's always at fucking eleven, So the

2060
02:07:20.079 --> 02:07:23.359
moment where it dies on even a
little bit, it doesn't dial enough enough

2061
02:07:23.399 --> 02:07:26.720
where it's like this feels different,
just feels like why aren't I just where

2062
02:07:26.760 --> 02:07:30.279
are the explosions happening and tapping in
and it happening. It's it's it's a

2063
02:07:30.319 --> 02:07:34.279
gameplay problem because like a lot of
that stuff looks really cool, but they've

2064
02:07:34.319 --> 02:07:39.159
built so much of it around sitting
behind a turret like you're an even firing

2065
02:07:39.199 --> 02:07:41.279
the gun you're holding. Yeah,
and a lot of this stuff it's just

2066
02:07:41.279 --> 02:07:43.920
like, Okay, walk up with
this turret you're or you're in this vehicle,

2067
02:07:43.960 --> 02:07:46.279
so you're firing the gun you're holding, but you're not controlling anything.

2068
02:07:46.479 --> 02:07:49.199
Like they've turned. They've turned the
game at a time crisis. You know,

2069
02:07:49.560 --> 02:07:55.039
the amount of time you spend in
the passenger seat of something is significant

2070
02:07:55.279 --> 02:07:59.720
in that game. That's unfortunate it's
fine if that's what it is. It's

2071
02:07:59.720 --> 02:08:03.039
just a kind of the legacy of
the series. You know, it's kinting,

2072
02:08:03.600 --> 02:08:05.800
you know, how can we make
sure that everyone sees the explosions?

2073
02:08:05.840 --> 02:08:09.039
And it's like, oh, make
sure that they're moving at our pace,

2074
02:08:09.239 --> 02:08:11.239
at our speed, looking in the
direction we need them to. But was

2075
02:08:11.279 --> 02:08:15.920
all like a lot of the combat
scenarios like it very seamy, Like there

2076
02:08:16.000 --> 02:08:20.880
is this kind of this mid range
almost kind of shooting gallery of like yeah,

2077
02:08:20.199 --> 02:08:24.640
you know of the way the the
you know, actual battlefields are are

2078
02:08:24.720 --> 02:08:26.520
laid out here. That's like yep, okay, I'm gonna go into this,

2079
02:08:26.760 --> 02:08:33.359
you know, hide behind this cover
pop out and it's it's not dynamic,

2080
02:08:33.439 --> 02:08:35.399
but yeah, but for all it's
kind of like gameplay faults, Like

2081
02:08:35.479 --> 02:08:41.720
it's still interesting to see it through, Like I still it's enjoyable to see

2082
02:08:43.119 --> 02:08:46.720
this ridiculous thing after ridiculous thing,
and you know, it's not paced as

2083
02:08:46.760 --> 02:08:48.960
well as the other games and all
that, but it's nice to see,

2084
02:08:50.560 --> 02:08:52.560
you know, the level of closure
that they bring to it and and it's

2085
02:08:52.600 --> 02:08:58.640
interesting to see them wrap up their
loose ends game pad support. But I

2086
02:08:58.680 --> 02:09:03.600
don't but I no longer feel the
need to keep up after this one.

2087
02:09:03.640 --> 02:09:05.960
I'm like, okay, like I'll
wait and see on on what Treyarch does

2088
02:09:07.039 --> 02:09:09.920
because I think it's you know,
they have they have the chance to shine

2089
02:09:11.000 --> 02:09:15.079
now they could uh you know,
I think, I guess is it gonna

2090
02:09:15.079 --> 02:09:16.680
be Codblops too? Or do they
know? I think they could be the

2091
02:09:16.800 --> 02:09:24.000
next Yeah, they could be the
next like lead on Call of Duty if

2092
02:09:24.039 --> 02:09:26.760
they I guess. I'm just I'm
waiting, like black assume, who seems

2093
02:09:26.760 --> 02:09:30.880
so assuredly going to happen like just
that that seems like a good way to

2094
02:09:30.920 --> 02:09:33.399
close out the generation, while someone
I'm the way more curious to see what

2095
02:09:33.560 --> 02:09:37.039
happens next and then sort of the
Power Struggle or however actors and dules that

2096
02:09:37.079 --> 02:09:41.520
out between Infinity Awards, Sledgehammer,
Treyarch Raven is working on a thing that

2097
02:09:41.800 --> 02:09:46.279
has been announced, So there's a
lot of stuff going on with that franchise,

2098
02:09:46.319 --> 02:09:48.399
and I'll be curious to see what
what does it? What does it

2099
02:09:48.479 --> 02:09:52.520
look like first year on the next
generation console? Is it a Call of

2100
02:09:52.600 --> 02:09:58.119
Duty? Because that game also probably
has to appear on existing consoles that year

2101
02:09:58.199 --> 02:10:01.439
too. Somebody else, somebody else
will help that, you know, like

2102
02:10:01.520 --> 02:10:07.640
some other studio will write get called
out and yeah, yeah, how much

2103
02:10:07.640 --> 02:10:11.640
more World Wars brought back, brought
back together? How much more before you

2104
02:10:11.720 --> 02:10:15.119
shobus specifically to do their ports to
the old consoles? How much more?

2105
02:10:16.479 --> 02:10:20.399
Like how many more games? How
many? How many more call games?

2106
02:10:20.479 --> 02:10:24.039
There already seems to be like a
little bit of unrest. Seven hundred and

2107
02:10:24.079 --> 02:10:28.319
seven five million dollars in week one, not not not enough arrest for them

2108
02:10:28.359 --> 02:10:31.439
to But most of those people bought
it. No, I mean they bought

2109
02:10:31.439 --> 02:10:35.399
it before they played it, but
they also bought fucking the money. The

2110
02:10:35.439 --> 02:10:37.880
money happened before Ops as well.
I don't think I don't think it makes

2111
02:10:39.000 --> 02:10:41.880
like until the money, until until
you see the money change, Yeah,

2112
02:10:41.079 --> 02:10:43.880
then activating is not going to change. Like we keep kind of moving the

2113
02:10:45.039 --> 02:10:48.199
goal posts every year for Call of
Duty, and like I feel like,

2114
02:10:48.279 --> 02:10:50.720
as kind of commenting on it,
like every year it's like the Saturday Night

2115
02:10:50.800 --> 02:10:54.399
Live thing of like everyone just jumps
on, goes this is the year it

2116
02:10:54.439 --> 02:10:56.479
all goes to shit, guys,
and and sit back and watch because it's

2117
02:10:56.479 --> 02:11:00.680
gonna fucking blow up here. And
and you know everyone said that about Black

2118
02:11:00.720 --> 02:11:03.479
Ops because it's like how do you
follow up a Modern Warfare two that Black

2119
02:11:03.520 --> 02:11:05.960
Ops totally beat it in sales,
and now then everyone said, like,

2120
02:11:07.000 --> 02:11:09.399
well, if people weren't satisfied with
Black Ops, they're not going to go

2121
02:11:09.479 --> 02:11:13.760
buy Modern Warfare three. Exactly,
everyone showed up the money. The money

2122
02:11:13.800 --> 02:11:16.119
is not going to change the year
that people decide they're tired of it.

2123
02:11:16.159 --> 02:11:20.279
It's gonna be the following year.
It's always gonna be plus one when black

2124
02:11:20.399 --> 02:11:22.039
might be the year. Every year
might be the year. This is this

2125
02:11:22.159 --> 02:11:26.039
is what everyone said the Black Ops. What I'm saying is totally I have

2126
02:11:26.159 --> 02:11:31.159
seen enough reactions that suggesting everyone said
the same and they all bought Modern war

2127
02:11:31.279 --> 02:11:33.640
The difference is my steam list is
full of people not playing Modern Warfare three

2128
02:11:33.720 --> 02:11:37.880
this year. Yeah, everyone,
everyone's looking at my xbox list. There

2129
02:11:37.920 --> 02:11:43.119
are not people we don't matter,
but none of you or your friends matter

2130
02:11:43.399 --> 02:11:48.600
the problems you were using internet logic. By that logic, Lawrence Florence in

2131
02:11:48.600 --> 02:11:50.840
the Machine is the number one band
in the world. Wait, that's not

2132
02:11:50.920 --> 02:11:56.000
true. I'm afraid to tell week
that's not accurate, that that girl's real

2133
02:11:56.119 --> 02:12:01.720
angry. Yet I'm saying is it's
easy to get that perspective of Yeah,

2134
02:12:01.760 --> 02:12:05.600
the people that the groups that we
run with tastemakers, Yeah, the tastemakers

2135
02:12:05.960 --> 02:12:09.880
leaders except for in this. In
this just like just like every every person

2136
02:12:09.000 --> 02:12:11.279
needs their Xbox Live friends this to
be over one hundred, Like that just

2137
02:12:11.359 --> 02:12:16.680
doesn't matter outside of sort of ore. It's not just my friends list.

2138
02:12:16.720 --> 02:12:20.079
I'm looking at forums people who do
like there are there are indicators that that

2139
02:12:20.279 --> 02:12:24.800
say that maybe this is it.
But I feel like that's every year.

2140
02:12:24.840 --> 02:12:28.560
There are different indicators that we can
look at and go to this is it.

2141
02:12:28.880 --> 02:12:31.000
Well, I mean, you know
it is going to be the transition

2142
02:12:31.039 --> 02:12:33.039
in generations next time, So any
of the new game Call of Duty is

2143
02:12:33.079 --> 02:12:37.920
not going to fall from its blacks
two next year. Then everyone's gonna say

2144
02:12:37.000 --> 02:12:41.720
like, oh, you know,
it's just the game. You can you

2145
02:12:41.760 --> 02:12:45.199
can point your finger at the ramshackleway
this game got made. Yeah, And

2146
02:12:45.479 --> 02:12:48.119
you know, like there's sort of
a tepid response to the campaign experience.

2147
02:12:48.159 --> 02:12:50.880
Maybe because of that, Yeah,
maybe maybe they're back to form next year.

2148
02:12:50.119 --> 02:12:52.880
Soil there until there is an alternative. Even if they don't like Call

2149
02:12:52.880 --> 02:12:56.279
of Duty, they'll buy the next
Call of Duty because until another developer offers

2150
02:12:56.680 --> 02:13:00.800
something that is a superior experience.
You're just gonna go back to the experience

2151
02:13:00.880 --> 02:13:03.720
that you like, a less battlefield
at like nine million units. Like great,

2152
02:13:03.960 --> 02:13:07.359
but that's not call of duty.
That's not the call of duty numbers,

2153
02:13:07.479 --> 02:13:13.399
and it's it's it's not the necessarily
the legitimate mainstream contender that he kind

2154
02:13:13.399 --> 02:13:16.560
of tried to position it as.
I'm just saying, two years from now,

2155
02:13:16.680 --> 02:13:20.039
Sandbags of Power. You put your
Captain price figuring on the sandbags and

2156
02:13:20.359 --> 02:13:24.479
straight into the game. There's like
thirty five forty different guys you can you

2157
02:13:24.520 --> 02:13:26.960
can buy DLC. Can I take
the Skylanders? I already have you drop

2158
02:13:28.079 --> 02:13:31.960
them onto this thing dark? Absolutely? Yeah, all right, let's let's

2159
02:13:31.960 --> 02:13:41.000
talk about a little news. What
uh see your new dashboards coming down December

2160
02:13:41.039 --> 02:13:45.239
the sixth for the Xbox three sixty
gets your cloud Saves on? Was that

2161
02:13:45.279 --> 02:13:50.960
two weeks? Is that cloud Saves
supposed to roll out? Awesome aps?

2162
02:13:52.600 --> 02:13:58.119
I'm only really yeah, all that
stuffs part of it. Really, I'm

2163
02:13:58.119 --> 02:14:03.800
only excited for Beacons because of the
number the rich library of unplayed XBLA games

2164
02:14:03.800 --> 02:14:09.520
I have that that you could not
find another person to play with. Hey,

2165
02:14:09.560 --> 02:14:13.279
guys, let's play Undertow. Yeah, no whatever, everyone everyone has

2166
02:14:13.439 --> 02:14:18.359
Undertow. That was the freezing.
What I'm saying is you want to go

2167
02:14:18.399 --> 02:14:20.720
play Wolf of the Battlefield. No, no, I do not. Come

2168
02:14:20.760 --> 02:14:24.600
on, lets go play Wolves of
the Battlefield all right. I need to

2169
02:14:24.600 --> 02:14:26.920
get three people in that tank,
get Craig and had them to play it

2170
02:14:26.960 --> 02:14:30.800
with you. They'll they'll happily play
any of the Well. Now, now

2171
02:14:30.840 --> 02:14:33.720
I don't have to ask anyone.
I can just set up a beacon and

2172
02:14:33.800 --> 02:14:35.800
say they fixed that health refilled glitch
in that game. Don't play, don't

2173
02:14:35.840 --> 02:14:39.159
play. Yeah. Getting into an
Xbox Lide party with you guys was responsible

2174
02:14:39.159 --> 02:14:45.880
for about fifty bucks the night that
we played Age of Booty and I was

2175
02:14:46.000 --> 02:14:50.079
like, fuck, I don't have
that game either. Boom five minutes and

2176
02:14:52.119 --> 02:14:54.720
this is dumb, Will Smith.
You're taking too long. We're gonna go

2177
02:14:54.800 --> 02:14:58.479
on to something else. Yeah,
I haven't been downloaded Age of Booty before

2178
02:14:58.520 --> 02:15:01.720
you motherfuckers were done. We did
that to Johnny a bunch too, fucking

2179
02:15:01.760 --> 02:15:05.199
he is so angry. What you
guys want to play? Time played on

2180
02:15:05.279 --> 02:15:09.359
Age of Booty is six minutes.
I think that's shout for me as well.

2181
02:15:09.479 --> 02:15:11.239
So I play a lot more than
that. It's all right, dollar

2182
02:15:11.319 --> 02:15:15.439
for a minute. So yeah,
December six, that's rolling out. Look

2183
02:15:15.520 --> 02:15:18.159
for that cloud beacon stuff is already
on Xbox dot Com. They already rolled

2184
02:15:18.199 --> 02:15:20.880
out that that redesign there to add
that stuff. So if you want to

2185
02:15:20.920 --> 02:15:24.079
go set beacons for games, I
guess you can do it there. Regardless

2186
02:15:24.119 --> 02:15:28.079
of what some unscrupulous folks and may
have led you to believe, Hideo Kajima

2187
02:15:28.119 --> 02:15:33.319
did not announced middle your solid five
dicks. Fuck that magazine. That's all

2188
02:15:33.319 --> 02:15:35.880
I have to say about that.
I wrote. I wrote a long bitch

2189
02:15:35.920 --> 02:15:37.840
fest in my news story. Fair
enough. Yeah, there's a new story

2190
02:15:37.880 --> 02:15:41.520
you can go and you will not
beginning linked to anytime soon. No,

2191
02:15:41.239 --> 02:15:48.199
no Christmas popcorn for off the list. Damn that's cold. Wow. I'm

2192
02:15:48.199 --> 02:15:52.279
gonna pour one out and give a
little moment here for Gary Garcia, half

2193
02:15:52.319 --> 02:15:56.239
of Buckner and Garcia, the songwriting
joe behind pac Man Fever. He passed

2194
02:15:56.640 --> 02:16:00.720
last week at the age of sixty
three in his home in Florida. So

2195
02:16:01.039 --> 02:16:05.520
much love to to Gary and best
to Jerry. Hope everything he and his

2196
02:16:05.600 --> 02:16:09.079
family goes well. Uh. I
say this in the post because I thought

2197
02:16:09.079 --> 02:16:13.199
it was kind of I don't know, it'll trashy. But they have a

2198
02:16:13.239 --> 02:16:15.920
bunch of their stuff up on Rock
Band Network, so if you want to,

2199
02:16:16.720 --> 02:16:20.039
yeah, go and see what they
were about, including our song.

2200
02:16:20.279 --> 02:16:22.920
And that's that's why I felt weird
about it. Yeah, yeah, it's

2201
02:16:22.000 --> 02:16:24.439
weird even you're saying it here.
I feel weird about people. Don't.

2202
02:16:24.520 --> 02:16:26.439
We don't get money for that or
anything. We know, Yeah, this

2203
02:16:26.520 --> 02:16:30.159
is all this is for them.
It can be. It feels like kind

2204
02:16:30.159 --> 02:16:33.319
of mixed. STU especially the day
of it was like I'm not gonna say

2205
02:16:33.360 --> 02:16:35.719
that right here and now, so
but yes, it's it's there to my

2206
02:16:35.840 --> 02:16:39.600
understanding. The last song that they
wrote together was the song they wrote for

2207
02:16:39.959 --> 02:16:46.959
our website, which I can't Yeah, you just got to move on exactly.

2208
02:16:48.799 --> 02:16:50.719
So it's good work. It's rock
band Network. He and delicious.

2209
02:16:52.079 --> 02:16:56.399
Yeah, it's a hell of the
song of the guitar Fever is awesome.

2210
02:16:56.440 --> 02:16:58.879
It's no do the Donkey Kong.
I think it might be my favorite.

2211
02:17:00.000 --> 02:17:01.600
I never I I gotta listen to
that. I had that whole album.

2212
02:17:01.680 --> 02:17:05.360
I was listened to a NonStop for
a good long time. Dan Houser said

2213
02:17:07.239 --> 02:17:11.559
twenty years ago. Okay, Dan
Houser said, Bully two. Yeah,

2214
02:17:11.639 --> 02:17:15.399
he implied that is not long after
we were talking about man Bully two.

2215
02:17:16.559 --> 02:17:18.879
In the next issue, Dan Houser
speaks about Bully two. I love Bully.

2216
02:17:20.159 --> 02:17:24.799
Yeah. There was a I'm done, I'm not new news anymore.

2217
02:17:26.040 --> 02:17:30.399
Uh. Yeah, there's a conversation
interview talking about Max pain three and he

2218
02:17:30.520 --> 02:17:33.399
said that they had talked about doing
it right after but didn't feel the passion

2219
02:17:33.440 --> 02:17:37.280
to jump right into it, but
that after Max Payn three is done that

2220
02:17:37.319 --> 02:17:41.079
they would possibly have the resources to
look at that again. So what if

2221
02:17:41.159 --> 02:17:50.000
Max Payne was the bully kid growing
up crazy? What if Dan is Link

2222
02:17:50.120 --> 02:17:54.879
in the next game? Previous game? I would love to play a game

2223
02:17:56.760 --> 02:17:58.959
Link turns into again. And yeah, you know, I don't want to.

2224
02:17:58.959 --> 02:18:01.799
I don't want to follow the time. And I'd rather another story set

2225
02:18:01.879 --> 02:18:03.959
in high school. I'd rather differ
kids, see another another kid, different

2226
02:18:03.959 --> 02:18:07.719
spin on it, because you know
that's you don't want the college year stuff,

2227
02:18:07.719 --> 02:18:11.440
but city it's set in the eighties, college yar stuff, the skater.

2228
02:18:11.840 --> 02:18:18.680
But I like about Bully is there's
a a precociousness and a relative innocence

2229
02:18:18.159 --> 02:18:22.799
to it. Because it's high school. You can't get that gnarly like.

2230
02:18:22.920 --> 02:18:24.680
I just I don't know. I
think there are more rules in your restraint,

2231
02:18:24.719 --> 02:18:26.959
even though the game was kind of
off the deep end, yeah,

2232
02:18:28.040 --> 02:18:31.000
the end when you were Yeah,
it's fighting on the roof with the lightning

2233
02:18:31.040 --> 02:18:33.959
storm. Yeah. But but like
you go to college years, like I

2234
02:18:33.000 --> 02:18:37.319
feel like it's so easy just to
slip into lots of like Brett Easton ellis

2235
02:18:37.479 --> 02:18:43.000
kind of just depravity, which is
something that rock Star does like to splash

2236
02:18:43.040 --> 02:18:45.920
around in some so I feel like, really, look, I'll take whatever

2237
02:18:45.959 --> 02:18:48.079
I can get. If you want
to put the two in Saudi Arabia,

2238
02:18:48.239 --> 02:18:52.799
I will play Bully two and Saudi
Arabia. The tone benefited, I thought,

2239
02:18:52.959 --> 02:18:56.760
from having to show show a little
bit of restraint. If he develops

2240
02:18:56.799 --> 02:18:58.360
a real gnarly coke problem in college, it's gonna be kind of sad.

2241
02:19:00.360 --> 02:19:01.760
Yeah, it make it great connection. I think that the game they end

2242
02:19:01.840 --> 02:19:05.520
up putting out like made a lot
of the people that were condemning that game

2243
02:19:05.559 --> 02:19:09.840
before it was released look totally ridiculous, like that that that was one of

2244
02:19:09.920 --> 02:19:13.920
my favorite parts a ship, And
people like, oh, they're making Grant

2245
02:19:13.959 --> 02:19:18.920
that's auto for kids. Now they're
ruining savages horrible people, Like, no,

2246
02:19:18.239 --> 02:19:24.639
that was right. Yeah, yeah, so it was like gant like

2247
02:19:24.440 --> 02:19:28.879
like why would anyone do that?
Yeah, Like it makes no sense,

2248
02:19:28.920 --> 02:19:31.440
which is why it's so like,
it's awesome to have a studio that can

2249
02:19:31.479 --> 02:19:33.120
do. They want to tell me
that the the bad guy from Bully grew

2250
02:19:33.200 --> 02:19:35.520
up to be one of the dudes
from man Hunt. Yeah, I like

2251
02:19:35.639 --> 02:19:41.760
that that I might be his rockstarre
gonna start playing a nam cookee exactly connecting

2252
02:19:41.799 --> 02:19:46.639
all their universes together. There's also
a space ship and he's the guy.

2253
02:19:46.680 --> 02:19:48.799
He's driving the dune buggy and smugglers
run Tommy ver City, he runs this

2254
02:19:48.920 --> 02:19:54.520
space station waits the rock Star and
Namco universes are bridged. Yeah, exactly,

2255
02:19:54.559 --> 02:20:00.399
it's all one thing. Wow,
finally bringing it all together, Patrick,

2256
02:20:00.440 --> 02:20:05.120
any other smope was real worth mentioning. Other than no Middle, your

2257
02:20:05.159 --> 02:20:07.479
solid five and yes, Bully two, the rest of the story, I

2258
02:20:07.520 --> 02:20:09.799
should say, if if you don't
read it, they're not saying like,

2259
02:20:09.920 --> 02:20:11.920
yeah, we're working on Bully two, but like, yeah, we've considered

2260
02:20:11.920 --> 02:20:15.680
it, and you know, maybe
one possibility as we're done with all of

2261
02:20:15.680 --> 02:20:18.600
the ship that we're currently working on
they're not ruling it out. It's not

2262
02:20:18.760 --> 02:20:20.200
saying like, you know, there
are no plans for this. It's not

2263
02:20:20.319 --> 02:20:22.959
the typical shutdown, which is not
the shutdown, and it's also not the

2264
02:20:24.280 --> 02:20:26.239
like that is the next thing on
our docket. It's like we've talked about

2265
02:20:26.239 --> 02:20:28.719
it and we're open to doing it. People really like that game, and

2266
02:20:28.799 --> 02:20:31.120
sure, I imagine this is a
coin flip, and they're just like,

2267
02:20:31.200 --> 02:20:33.559
it's either that or Warriors two.
What do you want to do? Oh

2268
02:20:33.639 --> 02:20:37.799
man, a state of Emergency three? Ah, remember when that was gonna

2269
02:20:37.799 --> 02:20:41.840
be a big thing. Say,
Emergency one was really cool. I remember

2270
02:20:41.879 --> 02:20:46.360
stated Emergency two. Yeah, like
they had even divested themselves like that was

2271
02:20:46.639 --> 02:20:50.399
Yeah, that was not them at
all. Hope. The only thing Worth

2272
02:20:50.440 --> 02:20:52.639
mentioned was just before we started this
was that they announced some of the Vita

2273
02:20:52.680 --> 02:20:58.479
launch line foot line up for Europe. Oh yeah, and announced Zipper is

2274
02:20:58.559 --> 02:21:01.479
doing a Unit thirteen for the Vita. It's like just like a Socom game

2275
02:21:01.520 --> 02:21:03.399
that's not called the Socom game.
But the more interesting thing is a new

2276
02:21:03.399 --> 02:21:07.719
motor staring game called Motors from RC, which it sounds like we have reached

2277
02:21:07.760 --> 02:21:11.000
the twist of mental small brawl portion
of the generation. I think Michael mcmurders

2278
02:21:11.040 --> 02:21:13.479
said that on Twitter, like you've
reached a certain part zenith of the generation

2279
02:21:13.559 --> 02:21:18.319
when you've gotten to RC versions of
your favorite racing franchises. But what's cool

2280
02:21:18.319 --> 02:21:20.280
about that game is that if you
buy the VWA version, you get access

2281
02:21:20.280 --> 02:21:22.280
to the p S three version for
free. If you buy the p S

2282
02:21:22.319 --> 02:21:24.600
three version, you get access to
the Vita version for free. So it's

2283
02:21:24.600 --> 02:21:28.639
motor Starm RC on both. It's
not, yes, okay, So does

2284
02:21:28.719 --> 02:21:31.319
that mean it's a downloadable game on
both? Or like, how does that

2285
02:21:31.399 --> 02:21:33.760
work? That details are unavailable,
but they're all they were saying was that

2286
02:21:33.840 --> 02:21:37.280
when you buy one, you get
access to the other, and your saves

2287
02:21:37.559 --> 02:21:39.840
can swap between the two. It
must be you can transfer them between one

2288
02:21:39.920 --> 02:21:46.479
games. All right, that's cool. I think I would love that first

2289
02:21:46.520 --> 02:21:50.040
party or Sony is I guess in
the best position to do it, but

2290
02:21:50.360 --> 02:21:52.719
I would love that to become a
first party standard of Yeah, teams are

2291
02:21:52.719 --> 02:21:56.840
on both that you know what you
should it should be like digital down digital

2292
02:21:56.920 --> 02:22:01.799
copies and DVDs like these games should
be are getting so close in parody gameplay

2293
02:22:01.840 --> 02:22:03.440
wise and visual wise. And if
Sony's gonna pitch it. As you're playing

2294
02:22:03.440 --> 02:22:07.319
console games on the go, then
you should be treating them as the same

2295
02:22:07.399 --> 02:22:09.520
thing. They have to be careful, though, because if they go down

2296
02:22:09.559 --> 02:22:11.879
that road too deep, I'll never
buy a Vita, because I would just

2297
02:22:11.920 --> 02:22:16.360
buy the PS three versions of all
those games and play them there. But

2298
02:22:16.360 --> 02:22:18.959
at least you're buying the games,
and they make the money on the games,

2299
02:22:18.000 --> 02:22:20.280
not the hardware. True, so
they may win, they may win

2300
02:22:20.360 --> 02:22:24.200
either way. Well, theoretically I
wouldn't have to buy a Vida sure,

2301
02:22:24.440 --> 02:22:28.079
you know, if if, if
it was up to me, uh yeah.

2302
02:22:28.760 --> 02:22:33.920
Details. So see the fact that
it's starting on Motorstom Marcy is you

2303
02:22:33.000 --> 02:22:37.159
know, maybe it won't be on
every first party game, but hopefully,

2304
02:22:37.680 --> 02:22:39.920
I mean it makes sense, like
because the notion like that was the thing

2305
02:22:41.079 --> 02:22:45.000
during all that transferring stuff that I'm
like, wait, you expect people to

2306
02:22:45.120 --> 02:22:48.239
buy both the console and the handheld
version of exactly the same game, and

2307
02:22:48.360 --> 02:22:52.600
then then I'm going and those of
us lucky enough to go down that magic

2308
02:22:52.719 --> 02:22:58.040
road, you get to move our
saves back and forth manually every time new

2309
02:22:58.120 --> 02:23:03.559
layers of hassle. But yeah,
that initial initial premise rank falls to me.

2310
02:23:03.680 --> 02:23:07.079
So if you start creating bundles like
that, especial if you start thinking

2311
02:23:07.120 --> 02:23:11.399
like they could you could. They
haven't said it, but you could easily

2312
02:23:11.440 --> 02:23:15.680
see a way where PlayStation Plus was
integrated into the Vita and the p S

2313
02:23:15.760 --> 02:23:20.520
three and imagine if your cloud saves
could just pull off of the leap.

2314
02:23:20.600 --> 02:23:22.559
There is that finding a way to
access those saves without having to manually trans

2315
02:23:22.639 --> 02:23:26.440
them over because at that point,
you know hardcore players will use it.

2316
02:23:26.479 --> 02:23:30.399
But I think you lose a large
audience of people that would use that feature

2317
02:23:30.399 --> 02:23:33.159
if you have to plug a USB
manually. Yeah, Like I think you

2318
02:23:33.239 --> 02:23:35.760
just if you could just cloud stuff
that end, so like you just hit

2319
02:23:37.000 --> 02:23:39.000
it just at if your Vida's on
a Wi Fi point, it's just dumping

2320
02:23:39.040 --> 02:23:41.440
it over there, or you can
manually push it. I think that could

2321
02:23:41.440 --> 02:23:46.399
be really neat. Yeah, and
then Wipeout's gonna have play between both platforms,

2322
02:23:46.479 --> 02:23:48.280
but I don't think it's acts.
Yeah, it's a little more complicated.

2323
02:23:50.120 --> 02:23:54.000
I want to say that the twenty
eight stuffs like a map pack for

2324
02:23:54.319 --> 02:23:56.079
wipe Out of HD or something like
that. Yeah, it's a little more

2325
02:23:56.079 --> 02:24:00.440
but there will still be some way
to play that content on a p S

2326
02:24:00.520 --> 02:24:05.120
three and can you play across like, can Vita person play with the PS

2327
02:24:05.159 --> 02:24:09.840
three person? Do you I mean, do you think they're gonna drop the

2328
02:24:09.879 --> 02:24:13.639
ball on this stuff when the generation
shifts on the on the on the you

2329
02:24:13.719 --> 02:24:16.559
know, the big boy consoles,
I mean, the TV ones. So

2330
02:24:16.639 --> 02:24:20.079
when they moved to PS four,
like all the interconnective stuff, is that

2331
02:24:20.120 --> 02:24:24.440
gonna like the Vita has to take
off in order for that to move into

2332
02:24:24.479 --> 02:24:26.799
the next generation of consoles, right, yeah? Probably? Yeah, yeah,

2333
02:24:28.040 --> 02:24:33.319
they have enough time between when Sony
withold theoretically launched machine that they'll know

2334
02:24:33.399 --> 02:24:35.959
whether the Vita is going anywhere.
But okay, so it's probably too relate

2335
02:24:37.040 --> 02:24:39.959
to tell. All right, let's
move on here to some new releases.

2336
02:24:39.559 --> 02:24:45.200
Okay, we're run along here,
new releases. Thanks Will, Hey,

2337
02:24:45.239 --> 02:24:48.319
I'm sorry. I want to talk
about Sky going so well and you had

2338
02:24:48.360 --> 02:24:52.040
to show up fault. New releases
for this week, Sonic Generations for the

2339
02:24:52.239 --> 02:24:56.879
I should mention here there's no more
games, you guys. Yeah, games

2340
02:24:56.920 --> 02:24:58.440
are done. I thought, go
buy the games. They're already out.

2341
02:24:58.520 --> 02:25:01.280
There's a a lot of good ones
out there. We've talked about some of

2342
02:25:01.360 --> 02:25:03.879
them. He's coming out next year. I thought the Old Republic came out

2343
02:25:03.920 --> 02:25:09.159
on the twenty second. All the
game done, all the games are done,

2344
02:25:09.440 --> 02:25:18.479
okay, games okay, yeah,
song generations. Yeah for what an

2345
02:25:18.520 --> 02:25:24.399
intend of three again, that might
be all right, Tech and Hybrid,

2346
02:25:24.520 --> 02:25:26.639
that's only are all right if the
Old Sonic is presented strictly in two D

2347
02:25:28.479 --> 02:25:31.680
and the three D Sonic is in
three D techn Hybrid for the PlayStation three.

2348
02:25:31.799 --> 02:25:33.520
We have a quick look up of
it. We do have to be

2349
02:25:33.680 --> 02:25:39.079
I think really into tech In Yeah, because it's on that that's basically a

2350
02:25:39.159 --> 02:25:43.680
movie. You're getting a full length
CG feature called tech In Blood Vengeance,

2351
02:25:45.280 --> 02:25:50.079
and then you are getting an HD
update for Tech and Tag Tournament the first

2352
02:25:50.120 --> 02:25:52.760
one, yeah, the first one, lunch game yeah yeah yeah, no

2353
02:25:52.879 --> 02:25:56.479
online play or anything like that.
It's just it's the PS two games and

2354
02:25:56.680 --> 02:25:58.799
really just sling in it like upresed. Yeah, it does not look great.

2355
02:26:00.719 --> 02:26:03.479
And then you were getting a demo
of Tech and Tag Tournament two called

2356
02:26:03.520 --> 02:26:09.479
Tech and Tag Tournament to Prologue with
four characters in crazy outfits that might not

2357
02:26:09.600 --> 02:26:11.959
even be in the full game or
something. They're like exclusive to the demo,

2358
02:26:13.239 --> 02:26:15.079
which sounds like the dumbest thing.
Ever. But I don't know what.

2359
02:26:15.239 --> 02:26:18.399
I don't know what's really weird.
Yeah, but they've and they've created

2360
02:26:18.440 --> 02:26:22.520
trophies for this. Uh this is
it costs. You have to really want

2361
02:26:22.520 --> 02:26:26.000
to watch that movie. A lot
want to watch that movie. You got

2362
02:26:26.079 --> 02:26:30.959
to make sense. I don't like
there a lot of barriers. Yeah,

2363
02:26:31.399 --> 02:26:33.079
check out the quick look if if
you the quick look, we show both

2364
02:26:33.120 --> 02:26:35.959
the games. Anyway, we don't
have the you know, we did not

2365
02:26:35.040 --> 02:26:39.399
show them the movie. Uh w
W E twelve played a little bit of

2366
02:26:39.479 --> 02:26:41.559
that before coming in here. You
hit a wrestler with a car. I

2367
02:26:41.639 --> 02:26:46.360
understand, yes, I can confirm
confirmed you can do that. You didn't

2368
02:26:46.360 --> 02:26:48.920
remove the most important You're going to
record a quick look as soon as we're

2369
02:26:48.920 --> 02:26:52.479
done here. You dropped a belt
on the ground. Yeah, that seemed

2370
02:26:52.479 --> 02:26:54.719
disrespectful to you. Don't do that
to the belt. But a table got

2371
02:26:54.760 --> 02:26:58.600
pretty fucked up. Yeah. Batman
Arkham City for the PC downloaded that this

2372
02:26:58.639 --> 02:27:01.239
morning before I left for work.
I saw the shot screen shots. That

2373
02:27:01.319 --> 02:27:07.760
looks gorgeous. The new physics stuff
look phys physics, Ye look good.

2374
02:27:07.440 --> 02:27:11.520
A lot of a lot of newspapers
circling round. I still I still general

2375
02:27:11.600 --> 02:27:16.319
impression it was dust and the cape
is better too. Usually I'm morally posted

2376
02:27:16.319 --> 02:27:18.200
that physic stuff. I'm gonna hook
that up and play it on the TV.

2377
02:27:18.280 --> 02:27:20.319
It looks, I mean it doesn't. It doesn't look integra, but

2378
02:27:20.360 --> 02:27:26.719
it looks because it's in video.
It's in videos, and video bought physics,

2379
02:27:26.840 --> 02:27:28.879
so you have to have any video
card to make that work. And

2380
02:27:28.959 --> 02:27:31.040
if you want to play it in
a video card into an ATI system,

2381
02:27:31.520 --> 02:27:35.399
you still can't do it because they
don't make the driver's work. It's it's

2382
02:27:35.559 --> 02:27:39.959
it's locked proprietary, but they still
sell separate physics quod No, that that's

2383
02:27:39.959 --> 02:27:41.959
how it started though, right,
yeah, yeah, that was back when

2384
02:27:41.959 --> 02:27:46.079
it was real dumb. Yeah,
real really, I'm gonna get a fucking

2385
02:27:46.719 --> 02:27:50.520
subboard. Everyone sound cards it's three
hundred. Everyone bought Voodoo cards for the

2386
02:27:50.600 --> 02:27:56.319
three D and I stopped buying all
that shit years ago too, order of

2387
02:27:56.440 --> 02:28:03.200
dumbness. Yeah, accelerated network cards
or accelerated physics cards. Network cards dumber,

2388
02:28:03.319 --> 02:28:05.200
du yeah, I agree, way
dumber. Yeah, but the physics

2389
02:28:05.280 --> 02:28:07.559
card, remember, only like two
games supported it when it came out.

2390
02:28:07.600 --> 02:28:11.520
It was two hundred bucks two fifty, which grinned braw. It was gra

2391
02:28:11.840 --> 02:28:15.120
gra Yeah, yeah, maybe grow
too, I can't remember. I think

2392
02:28:15.120 --> 02:28:18.520
it was Grawl one one. Yeah, right, and it didn't like did

2393
02:28:18.639 --> 02:28:20.200
nothing that you could tell. Yeah, awesome. And then there was that

2394
02:28:20.319 --> 02:28:24.719
Cell Factor game that they developed themselves. Yeah that was that was a really

2395
02:28:24.920 --> 02:28:30.000
eventually put that thing out on Arcade
and on PC. Yeah. Yeah,

2396
02:28:30.760 --> 02:28:33.200
don't play a game. No,
it wasn't even really much of a game.

2397
02:28:33.280 --> 02:28:35.840
Yeah, Like we joke about Minecraft
not being a game, but this

2398
02:28:35.959 --> 02:28:39.840
was really not a game. Uh
so, Yeah, Batman's out on Yeah,

2399
02:28:39.840 --> 02:28:41.159
I'm excited about that. I got
like six games backed up now.

2400
02:28:41.520 --> 02:28:43.399
It seemed like it could be a
good one to play a PC. And

2401
02:28:43.760 --> 02:28:48.000
the King of Fighters thirteen for ps
three and three six two we have quick

2402
02:28:48.239 --> 02:28:50.920
quick that up. Check it out. Yeah. It combos two D fighter

2403
02:28:52.079 --> 02:28:54.360
the dudes. The fighting part and
the two D part look really good.

2404
02:28:54.760 --> 02:28:58.079
The story stuff maybe less so,
but you know it's King of Fighters.

2405
02:28:58.120 --> 02:29:01.680
You're not coming for the story.
Don't be a jerk about it. Whatever.

2406
02:29:01.680 --> 02:29:07.639
We're nests and hey, I have
it on certain authority. I just

2407
02:29:07.719 --> 02:29:11.840
could be wrong, but I am
under the impression that Serious Sam three BFE

2408
02:29:13.040 --> 02:29:15.920
is out this week. It is
okay, is that the best Friends edition.

2409
02:29:16.159 --> 02:29:20.920
Yeah really, I don't know.
Okay, what does BFP stand for?

2410
02:29:20.959 --> 02:29:26.120
What does bf usually stand for in
games? Best friends? Yep,

2411
02:29:26.479 --> 02:29:31.920
yeah, Brad Brad's backs, nail
it down, best friends girls, that's

2412
02:29:33.079 --> 02:29:37.120
that's what. Oh yeah, I
understand. That's sorry, figure it out.

2413
02:29:37.159 --> 02:29:39.760
It's executive bling. That's really hard, a little slow, all right,

2414
02:29:39.799 --> 02:29:50.200
Brad's backs. We can do emails, emails, boasts. Hold your

2415
02:29:50.200 --> 02:29:52.520

the impressure. You're taking pictures. That's

2416
02:29:52.520 --> 02:29:58.879
a very like trying to get fucking
signal into this thing. First email,

2417
02:29:58.239 --> 02:30:01.079
first come into town or anything.
Everything goes to ship. It's like Reese

2418
02:30:01.239 --> 02:30:07.719
Grimshaw mirror Field in West Yorkshire,
England. His name is Reese. That's

2419
02:30:07.719 --> 02:30:15.280
how I know. He's English for
no R y R. Yeah. Yeah,

2420
02:30:15.319 --> 02:30:22.120
that's that's real shit, right,
that's the ass Reese rights to know.

2421
02:30:22.799 --> 02:30:28.600
Davies Dear Podcasts. Having played a
lot of Battlefield over the years,

2422
02:30:28.639 --> 02:30:31.000
I have to say my favorite and
he spells favorite with you again. British

2423
02:30:31.239 --> 02:30:37.280
sentiment is twenty My favorite battlefield is
twenty one forty two. I know a

2424
02:30:37.319 --> 02:30:41.520
lot of people dislike here, but
mex and Future Tech are awesome and most

2425
02:30:41.559 --> 02:30:46.399
of the change right in classes from
Battlefield three happened there first. Do you

2426
02:30:46.479 --> 02:30:48.479
think they'd ever bring it back or
will it never happen? Personally, I'd

2427
02:30:48.520 --> 02:30:52.959
love to see Bad Company twenty one
forty three. This is what this is

2428
02:30:54.000 --> 02:30:56.879
why I'm reading this emails because I
saw that. I'm like, yeld,

2429
02:30:56.319 --> 02:31:01.079
he gave me the Bad Company attitude
in a few uristic. Fucking I don't

2430
02:31:01.079 --> 02:31:07.360
want the attitude. I want those
four due. I want them forwarding time.

2431
02:31:07.600 --> 02:31:11.719
Wait, so do they time travel
or they're just inexplicably there. They

2432
02:31:11.799 --> 02:31:16.159
have a frozen idiocracy style there because
they think it's better. It's better,

2433
02:31:16.440 --> 02:31:20.440
don't explain why they're Yeah no,
ok so it's not like they're taking their

2434
02:31:20.479 --> 02:31:24.520
past attitudes like they're not being weuted
out by anything they see. You don't

2435
02:31:24.559 --> 02:31:26.879
want to fish out of water.
Story focus is not like wow, everything's

2436
02:31:26.920 --> 02:31:30.840
crazy here. Wait a minute,
are you saying that? Because with space

2437
02:31:30.920 --> 02:31:33.159
gold in it, we've got to
steal it. You're saying Are you're saying

2438
02:31:33.200 --> 02:31:37.360
the B Company is like Lincoln Zelda? They just are exactly right. Yeah,

2439
02:31:37.600 --> 02:31:39.360
yeah, they've got a timeline,
but they don't like to reveal it.

2440
02:31:39.639 --> 02:31:45.680
I don't like to be holding too. There isn't always one hundred years

2441
02:31:45.799 --> 02:31:50.959
a b company is born Kill Metal
of R two. You've just made the

2442
02:31:50.040 --> 02:31:54.879
best that is just that? Is
it? That World War One company?

2443
02:31:56.600 --> 02:32:00.319
So after after respond puts out a
sci fi FPS that takes over the world,

2444
02:32:00.440 --> 02:32:03.000
than everybody else will start making sci
fucking and then can justify creating it.

2445
02:32:03.200 --> 02:32:07.079
Yeah, or Bungee. Bungee might
do something. They're making a game.

2446
02:32:07.120 --> 02:32:09.959
Well, it sounds more in the
movie series. We are on fucking

2447
02:32:11.079 --> 02:32:13.680
board. We have now put that
out into the universe. Smells very clean.

2448
02:32:16.520 --> 02:32:22.600
Brian for Colorado. With the new
Jurassic Park game getting tepid reviews,

2449
02:32:22.319 --> 02:32:24.760
what would you rather or I don't
know. I looked on Metacritic. It

2450
02:32:24.799 --> 02:32:28.120
seems like people really liked it.
There Want Want What would you think of

2451
02:32:28.200 --> 02:32:33.040
another Durrassic Park trespasser game. It's
the type of game I always imagine Drassic

2452
02:32:33.079 --> 02:32:37.159
Park to do best in. Do
you think it could be a viable possibility

2453
02:32:37.280 --> 02:32:43.680
at some point? Patrick, you
and I talked a lot in the past

2454
02:32:43.760 --> 02:32:48.159
week about Drassic Park and Drastic Park
video games and how many Drastic Park video

2455
02:32:48.200 --> 02:32:50.879
games there are close to how bad
most of those Drastic Park video games are

2456
02:32:52.000 --> 02:32:54.239
closed to buying a lot of those. You were talking about just buying a

2457
02:32:54.239 --> 02:32:58.879
shitload of Drastic Park video games and
playing I say that hopefully someone will demand

2458
02:32:58.959 --> 02:33:01.840
it. I shut it all out, finished that sentence. So I'm talking

2459
02:33:01.879 --> 02:33:05.959
about trespass the park video games,
throw garbage press is real hard to play?

2460
02:33:07.120 --> 02:33:09.799
Was it? Warpaths war Path to
see a new warpath? Is that

2461
02:33:09.920 --> 02:33:16.040
when we use the dinosaurs fighting game
maybe made by Dreamers interactives. I can't

2462
02:33:16.040 --> 02:33:18.920
believe put I can't believe there are
two different dinosaur fighting games. Yeah,

2463
02:33:20.680 --> 02:33:22.719
that was them going like, man, there's no new primal rage. We

2464
02:33:22.760 --> 02:33:26.920
got to do something, step it
up and and the strategy Guy is one

2465
02:33:26.000 --> 02:33:31.479
hundred and thirty five dollars. Anyway, the game that was that was the

2466
02:33:31.520 --> 02:33:35.120
weird things we started looking into this
and a lot of Jurassic Park video games

2467
02:33:35.159 --> 02:33:41.399
are extremely rare and expensive. Fifteen
minutes of Jurassic Park to the story continues

2468
02:33:41.879 --> 02:33:48.440
dress up on YouTube. The story
continues, game not the Lost Worlds continues,

2469
02:33:48.760 --> 02:33:52.840
Kosk continues, The Kaos continues.
Is that a sequel to the book,

2470
02:33:52.000 --> 02:33:56.600
not the movie see the movie sequel
to the movie, and the caical

2471
02:33:58.920 --> 02:34:01.920
and Granted in it, I think, yeah, it's Alan Grant and made

2472
02:34:01.000 --> 02:34:05.840
up and no made up guy has
like the worst made up guy name too,

2473
02:34:07.840 --> 02:34:11.879
And at the at the end you
find Jones. It's like like Shaman

2474
02:34:13.040 --> 02:34:16.280
good Smith or just like like last
name. That is two words that you

2475
02:34:16.440 --> 02:34:20.280
just jammed together, Shane McShane.
If you guys don't go by these games

2476
02:34:20.319 --> 02:34:24.120
immediately following this podcast before you post
it, the window on this feature closes

2477
02:34:24.200 --> 02:34:30.040
forever. You know, you could
you could play dass park games anytime anytime.

2478
02:34:30.639 --> 02:34:33.799
You know what I would love I
would love Avalanche Software to make a

2479
02:34:33.920 --> 02:34:37.840
just cause game with dinosaurs on.
You know what, you could just have

2480
02:34:37.000 --> 02:34:41.920
fucking Dino d l C. Yeah, for fucking just cause too. Honestly,

2481
02:34:43.120 --> 02:34:46.239
alright, guess what they're fucking they're
dragons here to be fair just cause

2482
02:34:46.319 --> 02:34:52.799
with blank is a concert. I
also really enjoyed the images that I passed

2483
02:34:52.879 --> 02:34:58.399
round of turning Dead Island into replacing
the zombies with with that melee combat that's

2484
02:34:58.440 --> 02:35:05.200
basically that's kind of a trespassers what's
your fadder enemy, like smaller delapazurus or

2485
02:35:05.280 --> 02:35:13.120
those little yeah yeah yeah. I
also, while we're talking to get on

2486
02:35:13.239 --> 02:35:16.159
it. We're talking about play down
Drastic Parks stuff here. I'd rather see

2487
02:35:16.239 --> 02:35:22.959
a new Call of waas set in
prehistoric times. Great, so it all

2488
02:35:24.000 --> 02:35:30.680
works exactly works, Get on it. Justin uh also writes in to say

2489
02:35:30.799 --> 02:35:35.280
that Operation genis Jurrassic Park. Operation
Genesis is his favorite Drastic Park game.

2490
02:35:35.319 --> 02:35:37.799
Which one is that? O G. I don't know thatis. I thought

2491
02:35:37.799 --> 02:35:41.479
that is that one of the Drastic
Park three ones on. There were like

2492
02:35:41.600 --> 02:35:45.799
ten Jurassic Parks three Drastic Part three
games out there. There's just there's just

2493
02:35:45.959 --> 02:35:48.520
a lot of launch for Drastic Park
three. For all the Drastic Park games,

2494
02:35:48.600 --> 02:35:52.280
what was the one that had the
fucking the Jeff goldboom ending on it?

2495
02:35:52.399 --> 02:35:54.399
That is amazing? You could just
you can just YouTube to say it's

2496
02:35:54.440 --> 02:35:58.000
a Sega c D game. I
think it might have been this. It

2497
02:35:58.120 --> 02:36:01.520
might have. I don't know if
it's the Segas version of the Genesis version

2498
02:36:01.079 --> 02:36:05.399
of Jurassic Park, which is the
best, like one of the better Jurassic

2499
02:36:05.440 --> 02:36:09.440
Park games where you can actually play
as a Veloci raptor. Yeah, and

2500
02:36:09.520 --> 02:36:13.559
then then there's the other the other
good one. Well, it's good is

2501
02:36:13.719 --> 02:36:16.479
in relative terms of the dress Park
franchise is this nest one, which also

2502
02:36:16.559 --> 02:36:22.799
has a variant on the original game
Boy just top down actually adventure games like

2503
02:36:22.879 --> 02:36:28.399
a metal gear kind of top time
perspective. Yeah, I played a lot

2504
02:36:28.440 --> 02:36:33.000
of that game on a game Boy
in my Denis office. So yeah,

2505
02:36:33.200 --> 02:36:35.479
Drassic Park games just a lot of
them, how much time, A lot

2506
02:36:35.559 --> 02:36:39.479
of them. A lot of them
seem very bad, and probably after you

2507
02:36:39.520 --> 02:36:41.719
look those up, you should just
like go look up some dub step,

2508
02:36:43.239 --> 02:36:48.040
just Durassic Park dubstep actually whatever you're
and then just connect to our trek Mania

2509
02:36:48.079 --> 02:36:52.840
server where you can request the Jurassic
Park dub step just track whatever it is

2510
02:36:52.920 --> 02:36:56.159
that you're looking up. Now look
it up with dubstep added to that term.

2511
02:36:56.239 --> 02:36:58.600
Because after the Giant Bomb dub step, Yeah, really, it's really

2512
02:36:58.639 --> 02:37:03.600
good. It's actually probably my favorite
one after we after it's not dub steppy

2513
02:37:03.719 --> 02:37:05.280
enough, it's not wobble bassy enough. No, but it's pretty good.

2514
02:37:07.319 --> 02:37:09.120
It's not the best dub step song, but it's pretty good. I think

2515
02:37:09.120 --> 02:37:13.719
we almost drove Brad out of the
office with all the dub steps. We

2516
02:37:13.799 --> 02:37:16.079
looked up the Jurassic Bar games and
then started looking up dub step and then

2517
02:37:16.120 --> 02:37:20.879
there was three of us looking up
dub step. That was proclamation. It

2518
02:37:20.959 --> 02:37:24.600
was kind of like, hey guys, hey guys, stopped looking up dub

2519
02:37:24.680 --> 02:37:26.479
steps and the like. And then
like Ryan and has headphones, but you

2520
02:37:26.520 --> 02:37:31.319
can still very clearly hear the dub
step. And the next morning he was

2521
02:37:31.399 --> 02:37:35.159
in the car on his phone searching
for murder. She wrote, dub step

2522
02:37:35.280 --> 02:37:41.360
just shouting into my phone trying to
use the voice like the being murder.

2523
02:37:41.440 --> 02:37:45.159
She wrote, dub dub step was
the word that they couldn't figure out.

2524
02:37:45.239 --> 02:37:52.159
It's on that thing is heavily drop
is usually really good. Search for heavy

2525
02:37:52.239 --> 02:37:56.040
drop. It's a little scary.
I was looking for the Matlock theme,

2526
02:37:56.879 --> 02:38:01.319
but but it turns out there's a
guy who called himself Matlock who's making dope

2527
02:38:01.360 --> 02:38:07.440
steps so hard, right, I
find the voice search thing on that Windows

2528
02:38:07.479 --> 02:38:11.399
Phone seven to be fucking awesome really
most of the time. Really, I

2529
02:38:11.520 --> 02:38:13.360
use it constantly to try it,
right, I could never get it to

2530
02:38:13.399 --> 02:38:18.000
work but the Jurassic Park. But
there's but there's occasionally you'll just a What's

2531
02:38:18.040 --> 02:38:22.120
what's really impressive about it is that
it's clearly throwing your data back to a

2532
02:38:22.200 --> 02:38:26.959
server somewhere where it is interpolating and
it's figuring out like best guesses based on

2533
02:38:28.360 --> 02:38:33.879
that's not most of that stuff works, but it's really really like when it

2534
02:38:33.959 --> 02:38:37.600
works, well, it's it's scary
because I'll just it's it's I don't use

2535
02:38:37.639 --> 02:38:39.840
it the way I would use like
actual Google, where it's like I'm just

2536
02:38:39.840 --> 02:38:43.120
gonna type in a couple of keywords
and go from there or that whatever.

2537
02:38:43.239 --> 02:38:46.799
I would never use being, but
it's stand out here nor there. I'm

2538
02:38:46.840 --> 02:38:50.079
actually asking it like full questions I'm
doing. I'm doing that kind of search.

2539
02:38:50.280 --> 02:38:54.879
Why should I use being? Sorry
didn't catch Yeah, I bet you

2540
02:38:54.920 --> 02:38:58.479
didn't. I like that. Everybody
yells at the phone when they do voice

2541
02:38:58.479 --> 02:39:05.600
searched a fucking appointment. But yeah, but on the times, but on

2542
02:39:05.639 --> 02:39:09.079
the occasions where there's a word that
it can't figure out, it just it

2543
02:39:09.479 --> 02:39:11.600
whips hard on those like yeah,
it's just like I came up with like

2544
02:39:13.719 --> 02:39:18.840
like four words that maybe a child's
hero haircut salons, like what, I

2545
02:39:18.879 --> 02:39:22.799
don't know what even I was trying
to say the first part of that sentence,

2546
02:39:22.879 --> 02:39:24.959
why are you going to some kid's
haircut? I was asking for something

2547
02:39:26.000 --> 02:39:28.840
else. He wants to sit on
a fire truck while he gets his hair

2548
02:39:28.920 --> 02:39:35.079
cut. Okay, okay, that's
okay. I don't even tangent got bad

2549
02:39:35.520 --> 02:39:37.360
Patrick for Madison, Wisconsin. Do
you think there will ever be a w

2550
02:39:37.639 --> 02:39:41.520
w E All Stars too? Just
should be I hope there is. Yeah,

2551
02:39:41.559 --> 02:39:43.280
it'd be nice. Yeah. That
game was great, probably the best

2552
02:39:43.319 --> 02:39:48.399
wrestling game they've done up. There
was Saints for the third that's I need

2553
02:39:48.479 --> 02:39:54.120
to play. Say that you should
play? There's yeah, okay, like

2554
02:39:54.200 --> 02:39:58.040
wrestling game. This email comes in
from Mega Jessup. Hello, bomb cast.

2555
02:39:58.360 --> 02:40:01.760
I'm tired of regular Jessup. So
no, he need ultra Jesu.

2556
02:40:01.920 --> 02:40:05.200
Yes, ultranationalists. You need one
million Jessups. One thing I didn't say,

2557
02:40:05.440 --> 02:40:09.079
Man, if you weren't sure if
Makarov was an ultra nationalist at the

2558
02:40:09.120 --> 02:40:13.200
beginning of modern warfare three by the
end, there's no question he is an

2559
02:40:13.280 --> 02:40:18.639
ultra nationalist, the ultrast of nationalists, not even based on his actions.

2560
02:40:18.879 --> 02:40:24.000
They let you know that he is
an ultranationalist by saying ultra nationalist Makarov,

2561
02:40:24.280 --> 02:40:30.799
he did something bad. Story doesn't
make any sense about something else. You'll

2562
02:40:30.840 --> 02:40:35.559
have to play. I'm not even
joking. I'd really bother me. But

2563
02:40:35.639 --> 02:40:39.719
the Russian President Mega jess up here, Hello bomb Cast. My little brother

2564
02:40:39.879 --> 02:40:43.479
ruined Christmas and told me that my
mom had purchased Hulk Hogan's main event for

2565
02:40:43.520 --> 02:40:46.719
the Xbox three sixty Connect. How
do I tell her that I would much

2566
02:40:46.799 --> 02:40:52.000
rather receive Skyrim, but without her
crying? So I bring it to the

2567
02:40:52.079 --> 02:40:56.280
brain trust of a man who ought
have Skyrim but instead has a Hulk Hogan.

2568
02:40:58.159 --> 02:41:03.200
Just start talking about how much wrestling
saw yeah, wrestling, start talking

2569
02:41:03.239 --> 02:41:09.319
about the Connect stuff. Destroy the
Connect sometimes. I mean, we put

2570
02:41:09.399 --> 02:41:13.600
up a video making very blatant fun
of that, you know, maybe to

2571
02:41:13.639 --> 02:41:15.639
say like, oh, you should
watch this video. They're making fun of

2572
02:41:15.680 --> 02:41:18.280
this whole Cogan game. It's hilarious. It's not that, I mean,

2573
02:41:18.319 --> 02:41:22.840
the video is not that funny,
but you know, it's so bad.

2574
02:41:22.840 --> 02:41:26.680
I can't believe who would buy this. It's too bad because I like Hulk

2575
02:41:26.719 --> 02:41:28.239
Cogan a lot and wrestling, but
this game sure seems like some kind of

2576
02:41:28.280 --> 02:41:33.120
horrible joke. Also, there's no
dragons in it. You guys could make

2577
02:41:33.120 --> 02:41:35.120
a gift guide that's just like,
Hey, for anybody was thinking about getting

2578
02:41:35.200 --> 02:41:39.079
Hull Cogan Wrestling whatever for their kids, did you just get Skyrimans to tell

2579
02:41:39.120 --> 02:41:43.799
your mom to listen to this part
of the podcast, and we'll just hey,

2580
02:41:45.000 --> 02:41:46.440
we could say something now you could
edit it at the very beginning.

2581
02:41:48.799 --> 02:41:54.399
Don't don't get your kids Hull Coogan's
main event. Buy that for yourself if

2582
02:41:54.440 --> 02:41:56.799
you hate yourself, or for other
people if you hate them, or I

2583
02:41:56.879 --> 02:42:01.360
guess maybe maybe she hates your kid. Maybe just maybe make it make a

2584
02:42:01.399 --> 02:42:03.040
gest your mom doesn't love you,
dude. Maybe that's the thing that we're

2585
02:42:03.040 --> 02:42:07.000
alerting. Maybe we have to break
this to the dude here on the podcast.

2586
02:42:07.399 --> 02:42:11.440
The idea of people. Yeah,
for Chris, you like trolling people.

2587
02:42:13.200 --> 02:42:15.360
Not enough people want to connect that
it would work though. Yeah,

2588
02:42:15.959 --> 02:42:20.120
that's an expensive million and now feel
that I know ten. Wow, it's

2589
02:42:20.159 --> 02:42:22.760
a lot of connects. Yeah.
Also it's probably fifty bucks, right,

2590
02:42:24.040 --> 02:42:28.479
it's forty. I think it's a
gift that keeps on giving. People would

2591
02:42:28.479 --> 02:42:31.719
give it to way to their other
friends they don't like I don't have to

2592
02:42:31.799 --> 02:42:35.040
think about my friends. Just get
them the X File soundtrack. They would

2593
02:42:35.120 --> 02:42:39.000
they would like that though, that's
true. Get them what they think is

2594
02:42:39.079 --> 02:42:43.120
the X File soundtrack. And it's
just like the Flintstone's official movie sound track.

2595
02:42:43.440 --> 02:42:46.559
No, then it's just Jurassic Park. Does that remix? That's the

2596
02:42:46.680 --> 02:42:50.239
answer. No, that wouldn't work
either. You know, the origin of

2597
02:42:50.280 --> 02:42:52.680
all this stuff is my friends,
So I have to go some real deep

2598
02:42:52.719 --> 02:42:56.600
trolling in order to troll the people
that usually troll. You should get that

2599
02:42:56.680 --> 02:43:00.920
dress Park. Just just send them
all like a you know, nice Christmas

2600
02:43:00.959 --> 02:43:05.120
CD, yeah, deadly serious,
just like yeah, yeah yeah. If

2601
02:43:05.120 --> 02:43:09.000
I tried, if I was genuine, then that that would be aggravated.

2602
02:43:09.280 --> 02:43:15.000
Maybe just sent him a ham might
I recommend a little Mannheim steam Roller for

2603
02:43:15.120 --> 02:43:20.280
your Oh god, damn. The
only Christmas CD I own is Manheim steam

2604
02:43:20.399 --> 02:43:26.719
Roller. Yeah, you are a
bad person. I heard. I heard.

2605
02:43:26.760 --> 02:43:30.079
If you slow down Manheim steam Roller
to sixteen hundredth speed, it becomes

2606
02:43:30.120 --> 02:43:33.159
an ambient masterpiece. I bet that's
amazing. That sounds pretty good. I

2607
02:43:33.959 --> 02:43:37.639
bet that's probably awesome. I'm gonna
go do that now. To everyone who

2608
02:43:37.680 --> 02:43:41.559
wrote in Mega jess up, sorry
that your mom doesn't like you. I

2609
02:43:41.079 --> 02:43:45.719
hate to be the one that break
that to you, But if you're laughing,

2610
02:43:45.799 --> 02:43:48.319
you have glee and your voice as
you break that, you don't hate

2611
02:43:48.319 --> 02:43:50.399
to break that. You're happy.
At least it comes with a band Dana

2612
02:43:52.040 --> 02:43:56.399
for you to wipe away your tears
with. Yeah, at the realization that

2613
02:43:56.479 --> 02:44:00.159
your mother does not care for you, can you return games that you think

2614
02:44:00.200 --> 02:44:03.360
Christmas you don't like it? Yeah, I mean they'll set up lines and

2615
02:44:03.440 --> 02:44:05.079
stuff for returns, and you know
if you tell them a good story,

2616
02:44:05.600 --> 02:44:09.399
yeah, and don't open the game. Yeah, that's the key. You.

2617
02:44:09.559 --> 02:44:13.159
You should be able to exchange it
for store credit because yeah, you

2618
02:44:13.280 --> 02:44:16.600
usually have they have like a remember
it's a grace window usually there, and

2619
02:44:16.840 --> 02:44:20.959
you have like a limit like like
people used to do a lot of kids

2620
02:44:22.040 --> 02:44:24.559
used to do it it, uh
at schools. Like Yeah, you could

2621
02:44:24.559 --> 02:44:28.120
go to like Target, a Walmart
or whatever and just like turn in,

2622
02:44:28.440 --> 02:44:31.399
Like you'd go and buy games for
on the cheap at other retail outlets,

2623
02:44:31.639 --> 02:44:33.799
then go to Walmart or Target that
would just take the games back at full

2624
02:44:33.840 --> 02:44:37.200
price because they hadn't discounted it.
But then they started getting around that by

2625
02:44:37.440 --> 02:44:41.440
tracking that to your driver's license,
so you gotta shaw driver's license. They

2626
02:44:41.440 --> 02:44:43.000
would mark it down. You could
do it three times and they didn't care

2627
02:44:43.040 --> 02:44:48.360
because there's last leaders anyway. So
yeah, I don't think. I don't

2628
02:44:48.360 --> 02:44:50.920
know if that's doesn't work anymos been
a while. Bobcast at jambomb dot com

2651
02:46:24.719 --> 02:46:28.120
guys see that mega man art I
found on the street. Yeah, with

2652
02:46:28.200 --> 02:46:31.760
the dong with the dick on it
really weird. I didn't notice until I

2653
02:46:31.799 --> 02:46:33.840
got home either. That's weird.
It's the first thing I know. I

2654
02:46:33.959 --> 02:46:37.079
just while you would think. Yeah, so short, short story, I

2655
02:46:37.159 --> 02:46:39.520
was walking down street walking my dog
and there was this warehouse that like they

2656
02:46:39.559 --> 02:46:43.200
were these like it was like these
people were moving in, like it looked

2657
02:46:43.239 --> 02:46:45.399
like a place you put galleries.
Yeah, but they were. They just

2658
02:46:45.399 --> 02:46:48.399
apparently got into place where like putting
up two four as like they were renovating.

2659
02:46:48.680 --> 02:46:50.479
So they put some art in,
some wood out front and said all

2660
02:46:50.479 --> 02:46:52.079
free to take what if you want. And that's all this this like our

2661
02:46:52.239 --> 02:47:00.399
you know, MegaMan is like my
favorite characters, like Pixar things. Don't

2662
02:47:00.440 --> 02:47:01.200
even look at it. I just
look to make sure it's free, and

2663
02:47:03.120 --> 02:47:05.239
I look at the back. I
says mega man would and I'm like,

2664
02:47:05.440 --> 02:47:07.760
that's that's a that's a weird name. So I guess it's just on campus.

2665
02:47:07.879 --> 02:47:11.479
Yeah, it's all right, it's
on a wood block. So why

2666
02:47:11.479 --> 02:47:15.040
wouldn't this call wood Man? I
mean it's wood Man. And so I

2667
02:47:15.120 --> 02:47:18.719
get home and I take a picture
of it, still oblivious because because I

2668
02:47:18.959 --> 02:47:22.399
just wasn't paying you expect I'm claim
it on my mind, and so I

2669
02:47:22.479 --> 02:47:24.239
take the picture I put on.
I was like, hey, take out

2670
02:47:24.280 --> 02:47:28.120
this sweet MegaMan ard without acknowledging that
there's a penis in here. We'll like

2671
02:47:28.200 --> 02:47:33.559
a apixelated MegaMan version of penis.
Hold on sold they like pixelate blurred out

2672
02:47:33.360 --> 02:47:39.159
or is it blue extension? It's
not, it's not gross. It's more

2673
02:47:39.239 --> 02:47:43.200
just like I put it up there. I wasn't trolling people on like hope

2674
02:47:43.280 --> 02:47:46.760
they's see this penis. Like I
come back to check their responses. It's

2675
02:47:46.799 --> 02:47:48.920
like, why does he have a
dick and I'm like, that's what are

2676
02:47:48.920 --> 02:47:52.040
you talking about? Is like,
oh oh, he's got a totally guys

2677
02:47:52.159 --> 02:47:56.840
put in the bathroom. It's a
good place for it. That's gonna do

2678
02:47:56.879 --> 02:48:00.280
it for this week's show. We'll
