The problem is that every time that I would go check 16 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:27.920 email or look at a web browser on the machine that recording on it would 17 00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:32.920 it would lock up, so I remember that.

What have I been playing. You turn the tables 35 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:50.919 on me else. Super Bowl? You ever go to the Super Bowl. 36 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.879 I've never been to the Ship Bowl, super Bowl, you guys go to 37 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:59.840 the big game football. I've never been to a professional football game. I'm 38 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.520 your football like little league football. Now you gotta like, you know, 39 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:07.080 like local college games or whatever. Like I've been to those, to a 40 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.919 Panther's game once. How was that? Oh wait, not memorable? I 41 00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:14.280 went to an Arena League game once. Oh man, what was it sound 42 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.280 as these SaberCats? Sure that sounds right. I think that was the team 43 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:22.280 that was entertaining as shit. I have to say, is that the XFL? 44 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.000 Or is that something different? That's something different? Okay, that's AFL. 45 00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:29.479 Yeah, it's the arena league. Arena League had like basically like no 46 00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.159 sidelines. It's just like constant action. It's a smaller field. So there's 47 00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.719 the football's actual bombot ball is actually it's it's it is an actual hand egg. 48 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:42.199 It can't it can't. These robots, like a dude would like, 49 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.759 came out before the game on a motorcycle and there were fireworks inside the stadium, 50 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:50.479 smoke and Bill am Beer punched a bear in the Dick. It was 51 00:03:50.639 --> 00:04:00.560 awesome combat basketball, the combattiest basketball it was. It was I had great, 52 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.199 We're like fifty yard line front row because it's the fucking Arena League. 53 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.319 It was on tank Tresh showed up with an extra fifteen cents, so I 54 00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:11.039 got the good seats. Yeah, exactly. You see that like two thousand 55 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:15.560 people did not get seats. No, that's a lot of ships. Rage 56 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.319 out of the people that they were introducing us this morning was unbelievable. Well, 57 00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:21.279 I mean, and so the thing, I guess the thing was that 58 00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:26.120 like the seats just straight up weren't done. Oh they could. That's what 59 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.360 I had heard was I mean, that's a that's a brand new stadium, 60 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.839 Okay, and I imagine they have never had a need to fill every single 61 00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.759 seat in the place. Like it was like Sunday morning and they're like, 62 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:39.759 funk, what are we doing today? Oh shit, oh today the Super 63 00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.360 Bowls today. Oh. I don't think it's it's excusable at all, for 64 00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:45.040 sure, Like, how do you let it get to that point where you're 65 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:46.560 selling tickets? And they were and then they were saying, like you know, 66 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.800 they'll have the option of getting another seat or go or getting their money 67 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:53.480 back, and I'm like, well, if you got other seats? What? 68 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.000 Yeah, well you're talking about I saw. I saw a little less 69 00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.480 than half of those people did get seats eventually, but the people who didn't 70 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.600 were provided twenty four hundred dollars a piece. How much does the super Bowl 71 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:08.319 ticket three eight? I think unless you bought it from a scalper for fifteen 72 00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:13.319 grand, you know, crazy, Well that's yeah, your your fault there, 73 00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.240 right, I guess such for you. They also so take it take 74 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.040 to watch it outside right and in like front of the stadium on a big 75 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:23.720 screen TV. They definitely have screens and people were under head lamps. Concourse, 76 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.519 I watched it. Fun way to watch it, huh. I watched 77 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.439 it at my at a home on a television and it was all right, 78 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:33.240 yeah, yeah, it worked out. I didn't have to go to Dallas. 79 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:35.519 They black it out, which is really that that was the big selling 80 00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:39.959 point on watching the super Bowl, Like I was gonna go, but then 81 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.759 I would have would have had to have gone to Dallas. I thought, 82 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:48.000 I'll just I'll just watch this from home. I wat I only watched a 83 00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:50.480 little little itty bit of it, and I watch quake con from home. 84 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:56.279 No, will the NFL be broadcasting quake con you know, yeah maybe. 85 00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:00.199 I Mean the NFL network is pretty barren from here until it's gonna say, 86 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.639 what's that channel gonna do? Like what what do they show? Apparently they 87 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:08.319 re show every single football game in a one hour digest format. Wow, 88 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:13.800 really from from the previous season yea? Or just random old games like from 89 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:17.399 the previous like here you go, that'd be great, just Titans just to 90 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:20.480 they do that too. I think, just just to name drop my from 91 00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:26.519 the familial Super Bowl connection again, somebody just finally found a recording or that 92 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:30.639 game one from Super Bowl one or two. Well, I felt like there 93 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:39.000 was no existing recording until like somebody found one in a reenactments tape something that 94 00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:42.639 recorded this when it was on. My dad was telling me about the first 95 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:46.519 Super Bowl because he lived in LA and uh that's where they had it and 96 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:50.040 they did not since they did not or they did not fill the stadium, 97 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:56.439 so they had a local blackout on even back then. Yeah wow yeah, 98 00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.319 so uh so there, I guess there was all this, all these things 99 00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:00.639 at the time, and this is something that you know, we've heard of 100 00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:05.680 at least until you know, earlier parts, but people selling like here's a 101 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:10.199 we've got the special antenda will sell you that will let you receive the game, 102 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:15.319 like all of this crazy snake oil bullshit, like there's no there's there's 103 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:16.240 no signal. I mean they black it out. There's just no, it's 104 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:20.279 not They just don't broadcast it unless you have a crazy antenna that can pick 105 00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:25.879 up signals from like three states over. And maybe that was the notion. 106 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:28.759 I don't know, but I don't know. Hey, football, right, 107 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:30.800 guys. Yeah, that was the part where it kind of fell apart for 108 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:36.600 me, was the part where there was football, like the Pizza Rolls parts. 109 00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:40.120 Yeah, the Pizza Rolls part. And you know, you know me 110 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:46.360 big black eyed peas fan and uh and yeah a big fan of Jamie Fox. 111 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:51.360 So seeing him interviewed for his hit movie Rio, that was good. 112 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:57.959 That was the thing. Oh man, The pregame blows away anything that happens 113 00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.240 football if you if you want to, if you are a fan of branding 114 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:05.160 and bad comedy and the declaration and no this, yeah yeah, leading up 115 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.279 to that, but yeah, look no further than the Pizza Hut pregame show 116 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:15.639 brought to you by Pizza hut, because holy smokes, it was some of 117 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.279 the you know, it's like, really, you guys just are so busy 118 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:24.199 you can't do a second take of this bit. Fox Sports analyst announcer guys 119 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.439 just Terry Bradshaw just just pizzas delicious, all these guys looking like they rolled 120 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:33.639 out of bed and put on suits and showed up all puffy eyed to do 121 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:41.000 these mind blowingly bad reads of poorly written comedy related to pizza man, Nobody 122 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:46.600 the trade babies, nobody wears a suit like a sports commentator. It's true, 123 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.919 tell you. It was a goddamn comedy tragedy. Oh man, it 124 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:56.200 sounds pretty funny, though, Dude. I almost had to almost stopped watching. 125 00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:00.559 It was like I can't deal with I've already like had my phil I'm 126 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:05.360 already over the limit on America or whatever it was that that they were showing. 127 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.320 They were showing you.

I couldn't help but kind of going fuck yeah. 129 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:15.879 When like at the end of the national anthem and the Jets fly over, 130 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:18.519 there's something about that. It's like, yeah, that's right, we're America. 131 00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.159 We're the ones with the fucking jets. We were too busy like looking 132 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:26.200 up like, wait, those are not the words right? And I was 133 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:30.320 like what is fine?

Yeah, she's like, uh, 136 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:45.559 whoops, sorry whatever, who's watching?

There was some story 139 00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:56.799 that I read that Michael Bolton screwed up the same line or almost screw up 140 00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:01.759 the same line. It's some basketball game called Curse. Yes, that's the 141 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.679 one. I bought so much frozen stuff? What did you get? What 142 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:11.000 you do?

I just can never so have another Super 149 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:45.240 Bowl, please because I have way too much frozen food in my fridge right 150 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:46.879 now.

It was. It was a fucking 171 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:18.919 shit show and holy god, damn bad about it. It was like some 172 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.720 some people behind the scenes, if they had if this was not a contract 173 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:28.120 gig, then they got fired. Yeah this is some place where they were 174 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:33.120 gainfully employed, then they are probably not so like like technically yeah, like 175 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.600 the ever whoever was mixing the audio for that show, Yeah, like it 176 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:37.960 was. It was like it was like, oh God, this person's mic 177 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.320 isn't on and she's singing and we need to turn it up. The first 178 00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:43.200 the first moment that Fergs mike was not on, which was five seconds, 179 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.720 and I got up and walked out of the room. Really, there was 180 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:48.360 that like the back You're not going to sit there and watch a subpar Black 181 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:54.240 Eyed Obviously backing track was way too quiet. There was like they had this 182 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:56.480 big giant light up love on the field where like half of the v didn't 183 00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:00.639 light up correctly just and whoever Corey drafted. I mean, you know, 184 00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:01.639 it had its moments of and you know there's like a bunch of people on 185 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:07.639 the field with their light up suits and like the connect event. But yeah, 186 00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:13.639 like like somehow less cultish, yeah, and that stuff worked. But 187 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:18.799 then the whole like choreography of the actual show is here's four people standing there 188 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.360 leaning forward as it's time to shout their lines, shouting their lines, and 189 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:28.600 then leaning back so the other guy can lean forward and shout his lines. 190 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:31.320 And then there are two guys that are in the group. But that's they 191 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:33.960 just kind of are there to hang out. And that's a pretty cool deal 192 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.840 for them because they got to go to the super Bowl for free. They 193 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:41.240 had to they had to air drop in Usher to save the performance point at 194 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:43.320 some point he comes in the middle. They had to have Slash come up 195 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:48.639 from the ground. The worst came up and even play the song that the 196 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:50.120 girl from Back Eyed Peas and Slash did together. They said, oh, 197 00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:52.480 let we just do sweet Shot of Mine. Like they're a little bit a 198 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:58.000 little bit just enough, so she did the most half asked snake dance. 199 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.279 I was bad. It was really wait, how did you see that? 200 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.559 Mister? I walked away? I heard I heard the sweet strains walk back 201 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:09.679 in there long enough to quickly vomited. I don't think she's very good. 202 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.440 It's it was. It wasn't a good it was not the best. And 203 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.600 then also the thing for me was I'm watching the game with my dad, 204 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:22.039 you know, mid fifties, late fifties dad, and he's like what he 205 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.360 just he just didn't understand why. It was like what is this? Who 206 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:30.159 is this for? And then I kind of realize, like, I don't 207 00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:35.279 know, I can't really explain it. Like the the existence and mass popularity 208 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:37.360 of the Bad Black Eyed Peas, if you actually sit and try and think 209 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:41.840 about it is just is baffling. It is It is a difficult thing to 210 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.440 really come to terms with, like what like what are they? What do 211 00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:48.279 they do? It's just kind of just like like what like what is the 212 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:50.799 value? What kind of music do they make? Don't they have a new 213 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:52.639 album out? Yeah, but yet they came out with the same songs they've 214 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:56.240 been playing, Well, they didn't. That's what you do with the super 215 00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:58.360 Bowl. Actually, I'm not trying to sell the records. Yeah, sure, 216 00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:03.559 I the Black Eyed Peas at some point we'd be getting up. I 217 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:07.480 mean they had, they had, they had. There was a time when 218 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.960 they were a rap group. There was a time that they made hip hop, 219 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:15.159 but that time is long, long ago. No, they just altered 220 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:22.039 the perceptions of what hip hop be an energy drink, right, Yeah, 221 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:26.080 Yeah, I don't know, it's there. I can appreciate them on some 222 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:30.600 sort of like this is just the craziest thing they could have come up with 223 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.440 level of music making where it's just like, yeah, I don't know, 224 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:37.600 we're gonna auto tune that, we're gonna overproduce the ship out of everything as 225 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.799 much as we possibly can. Yeah, and and we're also we're gonna rip 226 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:46.039 all of our hooks from the most popular songs of the last twenty years and 227 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:48.919 that'll just that'll be it. That'll be the album. Yeah, there's a 228 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:52.519 song that the whole hook is them singing I'm at the time of my life 229 00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:58.600 from like that's the like disco Robot bullshit on top of it, which is 230 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:02.200 you know it has its play. I like disco Robot bullshit, And the 231 00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:06.720 way that they do it is sometimes appealing as long as they're there's no vocals. 232 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:07.759 It's that's where it falls apart, where you're just like, man, 233 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:11.840 you guys are terrible. And so the problem with the mixing is that with 234 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:15.399 all the audio low, they were actually you know, singing, which, 235 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:17.679 to their credit, you know, live auto tune like all that stuff, 236 00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:22.320 like you know, technical wizardry and some actual performance. But yeah, when 237 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:25.240 you put their voices that much louder than the background mix, you're like, 238 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:27.320 man, this is the worst thing ever. Right, And then and them 239 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:33.399 selling it as we're standing here four wide just giving it to you for most 240 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:37.159 of it, like without any like it got like a little more choreographed at 241 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:41.000 the end when it was like came out. His whole thing was totally choreographed. 242 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:44.799 He had dancers on stage with him. He was jumping. Yeah, 243 00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:47.799 But when it's just like four people standing there just like belting it out and 244 00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:52.600 not doing it well, like, man, this is pretty much I would 245 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:56.039 have to imagine that this is coming off as a negative thing for them in 246 00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:57.000 the long run, But I mean, you're right, it's it's like their 247 00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:02.519 songs live and die by being crazily overproduced in the studio. You take that 248 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:06.039 out of that context, like wow, and then what are you people even 249 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:08.079 doing? So really the mic wasn't turned on at first. Yeah, that's 250 00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:11.519 kind of a shame. I mean, I'm not wanting to talk, sure, 251 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:15.240 but but you're you're also you're also not producing the super Bowl at the 252 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.400 same time. I think it's a goddamn miracle that every single year the super 253 00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:22.279 Bowl halftime show doesn't explode like the circumstances that you're trying to produce that show 254 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:26.319 under of we need to build this makeshift stage in four minutes and then they're 255 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:30.279 going to perform on it for seven and then we need to take it apart. 256 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:33.119 Yeah, that's pretty crazy where it's like, Okay, this giant football 257 00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:37.359 game is happening, and that's what everyone's here for, but we also need 258 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:38.839 to do this crazy thing in the middle. So you you are not the 259 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:42.920 drawin of for some reason, because we can't because we did it last year, 260 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:47.240 because we have because because so the other thing is, prior to the 261 00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:49.599 show, they had the tailgate party and they had a bunch of bands playing 262 00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.440 on that and you think, like, you know, like people waiting to 263 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:56.400 see a football game, like there's probably like particular music that you might think 264 00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.880 would like get a crowd hip justin Bieber, get a crowd hyped up like 265 00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:06.519 some credence, some you know, like some Hank the Third or you know, 266 00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:11.519 like I don't know, some metal or you know, something with some 267 00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.319 edge to it. And then they come out and it's like here's Keith Urban 268 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:18.920 and then they closed with Maroon five, like here's two songs from Roon five. 269 00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:22.400 They're not gonna play the whole song. And this guy's just kind of 270 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:25.079 gonda like shuffle back and forth on the stage like he doesn't really want to 271 00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:27.799 be there. And then they kept cutting the crowdshots of people just like doing 272 00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:32.000 that thing where they're like we're here because they said it was a television show, 273 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:34.279 but I don't where the camera. Just the game start and they're not 274 00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:37.359 even really looking at the camera. They're just kind of like staring at the 275 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:41.160 stage like no one bobbing their head, just stoic silence of this is a 276 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:47.160 great performance. Those are popular music acts America. So I'm told, yeah, 277 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:49.759 sure, absolutely, you know, and I have to give them credit 278 00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:55.799 for the halftime show having an act on it that is like relevant. Say 279 00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:57.920 what you will about the quality of the Black Eyed Peas they are. I 280 00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:03.480 think, now that's that's a flaw. I think going for relevance is poor 281 00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:10.079 decision making. I think you need to go for if someone's dad needs to 282 00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:11.960 be able to recognize that band, put you two up on that stage. 283 00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:17.680 Just just put put someone up there. Oh, put someone up there. 284 00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:22.519 They can perform live Well yeah, well yeah, I agree with that. 285 00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:25.680 But you know it's someone who look at the past few years of just like 286 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:30.440 the Boss, that was a great one. I guess Paul McCartney was good. 287 00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:33.519 We need to remind you about Prince. Prince was great. But you 288 00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.599 know it was like ever since the whole justin Timberlake Jane Jackson thing, everyone 289 00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:41.240 got real scared and it's like, how about the Who? How about the 290 00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:45.519 Who? Guys, they're not gonna you can count on the Who. They're 291 00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:48.559 not gonna flash their bing ball. So I mean that's that's the problem. 292 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:52.000 That they're gonna go back to safe because it was yeah, the kid and 293 00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:56.279 they clusterfucked. So I guess who's gonna do it next year? Who was 294 00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:00.759 Rolling Stones? Well, we'll have the Rolling Stones on next year. There'll 295 00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.640 be one hundred thousand years old. No whatever with I mean the level of 296 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:08.000 branding is such that next year it'll just be a half episode of Glee stuck 297 00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:14.119 into the middle of it and Jane Lynch's gonna come out and they're gonna do 298 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:15.839 that King's a Leon song, whether the King's Leon won him two or not, 299 00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:22.079 because art for the kids, all right, Vinnie, Yeah, dead 300 00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:26.039 Space two, talking sports here, dead Space two. I didn't get to 301 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:30.160 dead Space too, so I made it to made it through dead Space ignition. 302 00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:36.279 The whole thing. Wait, that's the downloadable game. That is the 303 00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:42.519 downloadable motion comic puzzle something something that was mighty is the downloadable waste of money 304 00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:49.319 that is not good? Yeah, put you unlock stuff from you. You're 305 00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:57.720 the king, the the unchallenged king, throwing bad money after go through goodt 306 00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:00.759 good money after bad money after bad No, no, this is bad money 307 00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:06.000 after good because that's that's good money. That's good. So where's my bad 308 00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:08.440 money? It's the money it's gone. You spent it, well, I 309 00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:12.359 would you spend it on Dead Rising two costumes and Dead Space two. But 310 00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:18.039 I mean like the Mass Effect two iPhone game, Yeah, playing that to 311 00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:21.960 completion. Yeah, for the dumb nothing that you get in the game. 312 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:25.640 I got a dialogue line or something. It was worth it. Uh. 313 00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:29.880 So that one, that one justified it. Maybe this one was just kind 314 00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.960 of a little infuriating. I just did not really enjoy my time through that. 315 00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:36.759 One of those games where you just want it to end so badly. 316 00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:38.920 You're just I just want this to be over. Uh. And then I 317 00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:45.640 played a good one, which was a dead space extraction and HD HD and 318 00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:48.079 I've played that alongside my little brother who's in town, so we got to 319 00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:52.200 play that with two people, which is fun. You're playing the PSP vers. 320 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:55.119 Yes, on the Move, I bought a move. Nice, I 321 00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:59.119 now have a move, and I get I stand behind the move technology as 322 00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:03.680 a move owner now as the designer of the move. Yeah, as as 323 00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:06.960 someone who now owns the move. Uh. And I've spent some time with 324 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:10.599 it because it comes with the sports games that Sports Champions, Sports Champions. 325 00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.240 I'm gonna say I'm out of the motion race. I'm backing that horse. 326 00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:18.960 On the Move. Okay, that is the one I've had the most fun 327 00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:25.000 with so far, more than the WE and the Connect. So I feel 328 00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:26.960 like both of those, like wait, it's it's it's still it's still obviously 329 00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:30.599 way too early, but it's like I feel like, like for as many 330 00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:33.880 units as both have said they've sold, I feel like there's no toe hold 331 00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:37.799 in the software. I feel like, yeah, there's nothing to play on 332 00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:41.640 it, like, yeah, there's not even anything to I don't know. 333 00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:44.720 It's it's always like and this this game. We've bolted support for the move 334 00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:48.000 on too, so you probably don't want to play. No, it's what's 335 00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:51.480 it's why it's good that Sony has supported that with some downloadable stuff. Absolutely, 336 00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:53.599 some little crazy stuff that's been the best move. It's been the best 337 00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:56.759 stuff I've seen for the move and it's definitely it's a huge blond spot for 338 00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:00.799 Microsoft. Uh yeah. But it was fun, like I don't know, 339 00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:04.039 the Sports Champions stuff, like the sword and shield thing, like the gladiator 340 00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:08.119 thing. It was like it was kind of cool. Uh and then some 341 00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:15.920 of the other stuff was kind of goofy, but dead space extraction uh yeah, 342 00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:19.000 So it was really cool. And and the move works well because the 343 00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:22.119 you know, I don't know how it was on the way, but I 344 00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:26.319 assume very much. Says but you have a good fidelity on on your crosshair 345 00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:27.680 and everything like that, and you know you twist to get the different the 346 00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:32.240 all shot on the on the guns. The other problem I had was about 347 00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:37.799 two spots during it the so you're on rails and you move on after you've 348 00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:40.720 kind of killed guys or you die in that spot. So it's like it's 349 00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:45.599 very much, very linear, and the pacing is out of your hands. 350 00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:52.160 Two spots the camera moved somewhere and there were no enemies on screen, and 351 00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.759 we couldn't advance. It just was hanging out, just kind of sitting there. 352 00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:00.559 Yeah, and we're like, there must be a bad guy stuck in 353 00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:04.039 a crate or like behind a wall or something that we're so we're just we're 354 00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:08.039 just spamming every weapon we have, trying to blow up the entire room, 355 00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:11.400 and we couldn't move. We had we had to stop it and reset it. 356 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:14.319 And then the terrible part about that is, like I said, the 357 00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:18.599 pacings out of your hands. So fifteen minutes into a level, they don't 358 00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:22.440 checkpoint you. You start each chapter from the star and so you're literally have 359 00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:25.640 to you have to go back and replay all that stuff, and you can't 360 00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:27.440 skip the cut scenes and you can't do any of that. You can't move 361 00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:30.640 through it any faster. Yeah, just big one will always take you this 362 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:33.759 long, and you can't look around and look for other stuff. It's always 363 00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:37.519 you know, the cameras fixed, and it's just not something you want to 364 00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:42.319 repeat, like maybe we don't a year later immediately like that. That sucks. 365 00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:45.680 So that really sucked, and so we kind of cut it short after 366 00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:48.880 that part with Yeah, I think I think I've seen enough of it right 367 00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:52.480 now. That's unfortunate because you were like thirty minutes from the end. It 368 00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:56.720 sounds like Wede, we had made it pretty far, and it wasn't very 369 00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:00.759 hard with two people. I don't know if it's harder with one. Uh. 370 00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:02.720 And so I didn't get the dead space too, because I kind of 371 00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:07.519 wanted to finish that good all my stuff together. You got dead space Salvage. 372 00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.720 What's that? What's that? Dead space Martyr and space? I think 373 00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:15.319 I already have dead space Martyr, so I can't keep tracking, uh, 374 00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:19.680 mart Martyrs. The book O Salvage is the graphic novel. Well, I 375 00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:22.079 thought you were starting to make stuff up. Those were those Those would be 376 00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:26.440 pretty good fake call. Those properties all exist. The DLC is a dead 377 00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:33.200 Space Severed. They all thought that they would have got to Severed already dead 378 00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:37.119 Space Torso somebody, somebody come up with a dead Space property name Generate. 379 00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:40.599 Wait are they Are they going to spell something out when we're all done? 380 00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:42.400 Like Nicole isn't dead. It's a good question. But what order would you 381 00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:48.359 put them in? Release? Release order? Dead space order? Uh? 382 00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.799 Then I moved on. So my my little brother is in town, so 383 00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:56.519 I got the play your little brother. He's he's good. Is he doing 384 00:25:56.519 --> 00:25:59.920 it? Let's do it? Island coach take some some vacation laughs yeah, 385 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:06.200 yeah if he laughs the coast. Yeah, he's just crawling through events with 386 00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:07.640 his shoes off. That's what I like. He's one of vacations. Yeah. 387 00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.680 I watched die Hard too. Over the world Relax. I feel this 388 00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:15.000 is making the right point to point that out. I want to start out 389 00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:18.000 it's really good. Yeah, it's not bad. Tired too? Yeah? 390 00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:23.960 Great this weekend? Did you back of a movie? Helen? Fuck? 391 00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:29.359 Yeah. It kind of disintegrates and there's a point where you're either its or 392 00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:32.839 I don't really know what you're like? Like, did I did I like 393 00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:36.440 turn Away for too long? Because at this point I have just literally no 394 00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:38.880 fucking idea what's going on. Also, the weird thing was I had only 395 00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:41.480 seen bits and pieces of it and watched the whole thing all the way through, 396 00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:45.319 and I was like, I mean, you know, trying to explain 397 00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:47.599 it to my wife or my brother and be like, it's really weird and 398 00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:48.319 be like, well, what kind of weird? And I was like, 399 00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:52.519 it's really weird. And I was like, you know, it's like well, 400 00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:56.200 She's like, is it intentionally weird? It's like yeah, it's like 401 00:26:56.400 --> 00:27:00.680 it's not intentionally funny. It's like Kubrickian weird, but it's kind of like, 402 00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:06.799 uh, it's kind of like a buckarubanzai ish weird but not really funny, 403 00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:11.079 but like kind of makes no sense and like uh. And then so 404 00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:14.880 like you know whatever, ten minutes in, everybody understands exactly where that movie 405 00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:18.119 is. Okay, oh yeah, the floating head and the guns are good. 406 00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.319 Penis is bad. Floating head of vomits guns, right. She That 407 00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:23.519 was the first time that someone described to me. That's all They had to 408 00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.119 standley, Oh yeah, yeah, that sounds pretty mard. So they put 409 00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:30.880 that on the funny That's the part where like the rest of it doesn't live 410 00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:33.200 up to the promise of the intro. I feel like there's a good scenes. 411 00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:37.400 I think it's I think it's pretty strong for a while. But yeah, 412 00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:41.880 there's there's a there's a turning point. My little brother lost it in 413 00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:45.519 tears, just kind of oddly at the very very end with the weird time 414 00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:49.000 lapse of Sean Connery and the woman sitting there getting older. Yeah, it's 415 00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:53.160 turning it to skeleton just like literally, just like like connold it together, 416 00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:56.839 just like I can see what that would be. Really, what is going 417 00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:59.759 on like at the end of that journey. That's what they have to show 418 00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:04.839 you, is it's really bad, like when everything like when there's the crazy 419 00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:08.200 riots and everyone is all the mortals are going nuts. I'm like, what 420 00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:12.359 is going on? Dud pop out of the trees, Like what's that? 421 00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:18.839 Uh? That movie's weird. And so we looked it up on Wikipedia and 422 00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:21.160 here's the here's the end of the story. Looked at hm in Wikipedia because 423 00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:22.119 we were both like, I don't I think we must have missed something right? 424 00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:26.039 Yeah, and no, whatever, all the plot points that everybody agrees 425 00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:29.759 on they spell out exactly in that movie. That's it. Yeah, that 426 00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:33.759 is it. There's no mystery there, there's no deeper meaning. It's it's 427 00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:37.319 the movie. Is the movie, So to go watch Zara. I actually 428 00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:41.319 think it's fantastic. Brain removed directly from your fucking dome. It could be 429 00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.079 the weirdest movie I've ever seen. It's's it's pretty up there. Uh, 430 00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.720 it's no die Hard too. It's like it's like it's like if it's like 431 00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:56.319 if Stanley Kubrick directed Buckeru Bond's Eye. Yes, because it has that that 432 00:28:56.319 --> 00:29:00.000 that British sci fi kind of feel to the product. Right, it's like 433 00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:03.680 if Terry Gilliam and Stanley cru You got together. It's a little little Gilliam 434 00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:07.640 and like dropped acid. And then it also just has this this bug fuck 435 00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:11.480 crazy uh like production design, Like the look of that movie is just so 436 00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:17.119 weird. Yes, yeah, Like, what's what's with this red leather diaper 437 00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:22.559 that you're wearing? I saw zardas I stayed in San Francisco and stayed at 438 00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.000 Dave's. Was the first time I stayed when Dave was still in the city 439 00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:29.559 and we were going to Matt Rory's going away party when he was leaving to 440 00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:33.079 go to Obsidian, Like him and his karaoke friends got together and we went 441 00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:37.880 to that and that's where you saw and then yeah cash, he said, 442 00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:42.000 yea, I'll put So I actually ordered a copy of Zardas from my phone 443 00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:47.880 as Yeah, it's at the end of a drunk night. Oh yeah, 444 00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:55.799 there's nothing quite like the way I had. Uh if you Gottas, So 445 00:29:56.440 --> 00:30:03.160 what else is new? So? Uh buying a commander rearmed too? Uh? 446 00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:08.519 Something that we played. I like this. It's like I got another 447 00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:15.839 harmonize with you. So play that with my little brother and co Op and 448 00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.799 that's fun. Not a good time. We jumped and we swang ate what 449 00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:22.200 I heard I got. I got no love for the co op in that 450 00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:26.200 game. Yeah, swing Swing. It's probably because he both started at the 451 00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:29.240 same time. But yeah, once you get good at that game, yeah 452 00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:32.839 yeah, you want to you just want to go. Yeah, you know. 453 00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:36.640 Plus, you know, it's something where we were just kind of goofing 454 00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:38.480 around, were taking it very seriously. The thing I hate about that game 455 00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:41.720 though, is uh, I guess it's got like places that you can't access 456 00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:45.119 until you get the right equipment, like the shop cloth. Yeah, there's 457 00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:49.200 there's uh, there are a few things like that. It's not really that 458 00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:52.960 vital in the grand scheme of things. It's not you you're not necessarily seeing 459 00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:56.200 that in every single level and going like, oh, I gotta come back 460 00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:57.319 when I got the so and so, but I wasn't sure if I was 461 00:30:57.319 --> 00:31:02.279 supposed to be looking to lock that stuff in the level, because you know, 462 00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:03.920 at the end of the level they'll give you that wrap up screen. 463 00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:06.799 I'm like, hey, you got this, this, and this. So 464 00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:07.880 at one point we hit a level where it was like, hey, you 465 00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:10.920 got this, this, and this, and you missed this square thing with 466 00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:12.359 a lightning bolt through it. Right, They're like, oh shit, we 467 00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:17.839 missed the lightning claw and we've seen a billion of those in the last seven 468 00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:21.079 levels. Let's just keep playing this level till we find it, which never 469 00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:23.519 found it and like just spent like an hour just searching that level. And 470 00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:26.680 I don't know if it's I don't even know if that's it could be something 471 00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:27.880 that you need some other item to get to. They don't really explained. 472 00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:32.799 But the thing but that game is there's there are items like that that you 473 00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:37.440 don't acquire at a set rate. Some weapons it just gives you at the 474 00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:38.440 end of this level. You will get the shotgun. At the end of 475 00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:41.920 this level, you will get the rocket launcher because the story dictates it. 476 00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:44.759 But then some of that stuff, there are actually multiple versions of that power 477 00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:48.920 up because you actually upgrade your your weapons by finding multiple of the same thing, 478 00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:51.279 right, But if you miss an early one and get another one later, 479 00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.319 that's when you'll get the first shot claw or something. And then so 480 00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:59.039 yeah, so that was really confusing to somebody who's like, well, I 481 00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:00.200 don't want to move on because I want to miss anything, so let's like 482 00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:02.200 let's go back and get it. And eventually we just had to be like, 483 00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:05.279 well, screw it. Now, we're just going to go through Wretch 484 00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:07.920 and try and play it. That's that's how I have to literally have to 485 00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:09.599 play that. Yeah, so it got a little frustrating there, But then 486 00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:15.640 we moved on and uh, I suspect and cull up. The bosses are 487 00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:20.079 just way easier because one guy just draws the attention and the other guy is 488 00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:22.240 just pounding him with with shots And well, which boss are you talking about, 489 00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:24.839 because there are I don't know, I'm just saying in general, because 490 00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:29.960 like we just kept all the bosses in the game are separate levels. If 491 00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:32.200 you're talking about the guy with the mask over his face, he's not a 492 00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:35.079 robot. No, no, no, no. This was later on, 493 00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:38.279 I can't even remember. There was some some like Little Tank or something like 494 00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:43.839 that that was just like robot with claws, giant gorilla and stuff. So 495 00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:45.640 the boss fights in that game are that kind of the downfall the whole thing, 496 00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:50.519 because maybe we haven't gotten that far yet. They're all super pattern based 497 00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:53.839 and super slow. So it's just like, here's a giant gorilla and you're 498 00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:59.599 fighting this monkey and he has an attack where he moves his arm back and 499 00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:02.039 forth across where you're running, and one time it's high so you have the 500 00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:05.000 duck, and one time it's low. So you have to jump and time 501 00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:08.359 and the jump is not super easy, like it's easy, you're just jumping, 502 00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:13.039 but getting the timing right on it every time is kind of a hassle 503 00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:15.680 and it's repetitive and it's boring, and you can't hit him until he opens 504 00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:19.720 up for his Yeah, so he does a whole thing for you know, 505 00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:22.559 what seems like a full minute and it's probably less, but you know, 506 00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:24.920 it seems like a long time before he opens up to a point where you 507 00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:29.319 can do basically thirty three percent damage, and then you have to do that 508 00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:32.960 two more times and the pattern doesn't change, and you're not particularly resilient in 509 00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:37.160 that game, so you just end up in this situation where you're just like, 510 00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:39.720 man, I I've figured out how to kill it. I know how 511 00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:44.480 to kill this thing. I know I have done all the things required to 512 00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:46.480 kill this thing. I just have to be able to put it together for 513 00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:50.680 the next amount of time. Yeah, And that's not it's not fun, 514 00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:52.119 Like even when you pull it off, there's not this sense of like, 515 00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:57.240 yeah, there's this sense of like fucking thank god, Oh, like I 516 00:33:57.279 --> 00:34:00.880 just made it through this, like Simon thing, Yeah, just match exactly, 517 00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:04.640 and and it's all like that all the boss fights and then they just 518 00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:07.720 get worse and you fight that Grella a second time later on. Like the 519 00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:10.320 boss design is bad. It's it's it's a real shame, is it with 520 00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:14.039 capcom putting out games that screw up boss fights? I don't know. I 521 00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:15.760 don't know. Who's turning into a disturbing tries when when you die on the 522 00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:19.639 boss do you have to start over? And so like you lose one life, 523 00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:22.039 you start over because I got on the cut up, you just kind 524 00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:23.920 of like you just respond, you just jump back here, right right, 525 00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:27.239 So as long as you don't both die at the same time. Yeah, 526 00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:30.840 which makes a lot of the game just easy to kind of that makes sense. 527 00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:36.639 Maybe you have limited lives, but by finding all those extra lives like 528 00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:39.119 those are basically just you get earn extra retries every time you go into a 529 00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:42.639 level. So now I'm at a point where every time I go into a 530 00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:46.320 level live like thirteen dudes or something. So uh, I don't know if 531 00:34:47.360 --> 00:34:51.159 you could just hit start or something on the second controller when you hit a 532 00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:53.760 boss and just have a dude jump in and let him stay alive in a 533 00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:58.559 corner or something. It's all right. I don't think I'm getting the same 534 00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:01.719 kind of instinct gratification I got from the first rearms. Yeah, it definitely 535 00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:06.239 feels a little more of a retread in some places, and it does seem 536 00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:08.480 like they added like all the different weapon finds, and that stuff is is 537 00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:13.239 distracting me from what I really love, which is just swinging over spikes and 538 00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:16.280 kind of crazy you know, acrobatics. That's like, man, I can't 539 00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:19.280 believe I made that one. On one hand, I really like it because 540 00:35:19.280 --> 00:35:22.320 they modernized the game. They didn't just make an old eight bit game again, 541 00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:25.239 and you know, they added weapons and they added some depth to it. 542 00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:30.159 But some of the stuff with like fighting that behind a subscreen is kind 543 00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:34.400 of annoying. I guess, yeah, it's too bad because I think some 544 00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:38.000 of that like specialized arms stuff, sounds like it could open up some interesting 545 00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:42.320 gameplay possibilities for that. Yeah, but then it's like, you know, 546 00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:45.159 you get this hack arm and there are terminals that you can hack to stop 547 00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:51.039 all the robots in that room for moving for twenty seconds or you knows just 548 00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:52.679 the time thing. Yeah, and you know, you find more power ups 549 00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:55.199 to the hacking arm, and I suspect it just lasts longer. It doesn't 550 00:35:55.199 --> 00:36:01.800 actually tell you what it's upgrading, just your arm is better, and uh 551 00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:04.840 so you have to like, you know, you're not gonna leave the hack 552 00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:07.400 arm on at all times, and this doesn't come up that often. So 553 00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:09.639 basically it's like, you know, you're hitting select to go into the subscreen, 554 00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:14.119 you're going into your active upgrades, you're picking the hack arm, you're 555 00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:16.320 going back out, and everything's governed by one meter. So if you've just 556 00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:21.599 been firing off grenades from the grenade launcher that stand there, wait for it 557 00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:23.719 to recharge before you can use the hack arm. And even then it's hit 558 00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:27.719 you know, the one button to activate it, and then you stop to 559 00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:30.679 hit the arm button to get the arm out while it's you know, imbued 560 00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:34.639 with this power. Yeah, it seems so, because like why not just 561 00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:39.360 like use the shoulder, the bumpers or the deepend They use just about every 562 00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:43.000 button in there. They don't use the deepad, They don't you know, 563 00:36:43.199 --> 00:36:45.119 I guess they don't use the click in stick stuff like the depad, just 564 00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:50.039 like use that to cycle through like what are your potential active things? Have 565 00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:52.400 an icon in the corner. Well, you can also move with the dpad 566 00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:55.199 first, Oh right, yeah, well then just don't don't let them do 567 00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:59.599 that. Yeah yeah, I mean there's there's more elegant solutions to be had, 568 00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:01.679 right, So, like that's by the time you've done all that, 569 00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:05.880 you could have just swung your way past all that stuff and been moving on. 570 00:37:06.119 --> 00:37:09.360 That's that's kind of the the issue there is they don't always give you 571 00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:14.519 a reason to want to hassle with all of the powers that they've added to 572 00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:16.239 the game. The same deal with a lot of the weapons. Like it's 573 00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:19.800 cool they give you a rocket launcher, Like they give you some decent stuff, 574 00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:24.400 but it's all limited AMMO, and most of the enemies you're facing, 575 00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:29.159 Uh, it's not. You're just better off just hammering on the fire button 576 00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:34.039 with the default weapon to just take them out quickly. And the bosses in 577 00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:37.000 many cases, not every case. Uh, the bosses just kind of take 578 00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:39.800 a set amount of damage before they kick you off and go back into their 579 00:37:39.800 --> 00:37:45.239 attack pattern. Yeah. Yeah, so you have a window that if you're 580 00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:47.400 hammering on the regular fire button, you're going to do just as well as 581 00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:51.039 if you switch to the shotgun and got off two shots of that, which 582 00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:53.000 you think you do use the shoulder buttons to switch guns. I think that's 583 00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:58.119 the power of stuff is riding co op. I don't know when it happens. 584 00:37:58.159 --> 00:38:02.599 Maybe when you die so you can choose independent power ups to reach player, 585 00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:05.840 but like when you die for some reason, I think it's when you 586 00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:08.920 die or restart a level, it defaults back to whatever one of the players 587 00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:10.559 has. Yeah, it's really annoying. So you have to go in through 588 00:38:10.599 --> 00:38:15.480 the screen like a bug or something. Yeah, it seems weird ah a 589 00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:16.440 game the games all right, I spent some time in there. Like the 590 00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:21.599 control that's it gives a really good first impression as someone who liked the first 591 00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:27.079 game, because it's a good half hour of like thinking, well, it's 592 00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:29.719 a good first pressure may where we're putting it. Like at first, you 593 00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:31.239 think like, oh my god, they broke it because they added the jumping. 594 00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:36.079 They added a ton of swing mechanics that add a lot of stuff to 595 00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:38.639 swinging that make it tougher when you're trying to pick it up. But once 596 00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:42.119 you're over that learning curve, you're like, oh, like I got the 597 00:38:42.119 --> 00:38:45.119 point where I like, I totally understand exactly why they changed things the way 598 00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:49.280 they changed it, Like the way that the arm works is way smarter in 599 00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:52.400 this game than it wasn't the first one. You have a lot more control 600 00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:59.079 over what you're doing with it, and that's awesome, But then kind of 601 00:38:59.079 --> 00:39:01.119 the rest of it, the the level design feels kind of disjointed. You're 602 00:39:01.119 --> 00:39:04.599 just like, what am I doing again? Swinging to the right, Okay, 603 00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:07.000 let's go and in this helicopter right, let's go. Well, the 604 00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:09.360 other thing with the with the kind of finding that stuff is they you know, 605 00:39:09.400 --> 00:39:12.519 there's a there's a height on a lot of levels, So if you're 606 00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:14.679 like going to the high road or do you kind of want to make sure 607 00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:16.079 you check the bottom too, because you don't want to pass over any power 608 00:39:16.159 --> 00:39:19.679 ups or anything like that. And so there's like a lot of different paths 609 00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:22.000 you can take, and then you have those blocks you can destroy, and 610 00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:27.159 you just I just feel like I'm searching around where my favorite parts of the 611 00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:29.679 first one. We're just kind of swinging as fast as I can, like, 612 00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:32.639 never touch the ground, just go. So the hunting and stuff is 613 00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:38.280 is not as fun. I played Magica. Do you get it? No? 614 00:39:38.639 --> 00:39:42.480 Is it magical? It is magical? Do you play it with anybody? 615 00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:45.679 Yeah? Yourself? So again come up with my brother local on the 616 00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:50.840 PC. Yeah I heard that subsequent players on the same machine you have to 617 00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:53.559 use a game pad. Yes, So he was using the three sixty controller. 618 00:39:55.360 --> 00:39:59.480 And it's interesting seeing the interface he has to go through and when I'm 619 00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:01.760 going through and I haven't quite decided which one I think I'd rather play with 620 00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:06.000 where I can just hit the keys and stuff. He's got kind of a 621 00:40:06.039 --> 00:40:08.039 menu he has to go through a little bit like a radial like a little 622 00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:12.239 bit. Yeah, like does it pause, no, because it seems like 623 00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:15.480 a pretty fast paced kind of Actually, he was able to navigate it pretty 624 00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:19.159 quickly. He wasn't having that many problems. It's more of like when you 625 00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:22.079 find something that works, you just kind of stick with it. Yeah, 626 00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:23.559 that's what I found myself doing just in that quick look Like it was just 627 00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:29.960 like two spells together over and over. And I'm sure that it benefits you 628 00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:32.639 to use stuff that's a little more complicated. But your your guys are after 629 00:40:32.679 --> 00:40:36.119 you the entire time, so you don't have a lot of time to sit 630 00:40:36.159 --> 00:40:39.920 there and queue up spells. But with the multiplayer it's a little bit different 631 00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:43.920 because the guys will go after somebody else and you can sit in a little 632 00:40:43.920 --> 00:40:46.480 bubble and kind of cue up stuff. But it's a fast paced, it's 633 00:40:46.519 --> 00:40:51.400 fun. On the multiplayer. It's fun because you can revive the other guy, 634 00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:53.960 so again, you can kind of burn through it a lot faster. 635 00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:57.440 Yeah. I've seen a lot of complaints about the checkpointing in that game. 636 00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:01.039 And I say check pointing so much as like the kind of the saving, 637 00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:04.679 like if you if you quit out and you come back into the chapter, 638 00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:07.119 always going to start at the beginning of that chapter, and the chapters are 639 00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:09.559 pretty long. Yeah, it's kind of unfortunate. So I had fun with 640 00:41:09.599 --> 00:41:14.239 that. Magic Goes is pretty cool with a k with a k end to 641 00:41:14.320 --> 00:41:22.599 sau yeah, and an a magic So I don't know if I would go 642 00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:27.400 back and play through it again, but it seems like you might want to 643 00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:29.679 just to try other spells. Sure, well, did you try any of 644 00:41:29.719 --> 00:41:31.400 that, like a reno or challenge stuff? That seems like that's where you'd 645 00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:36.639 want to really stuff. You got kind of cool weapons that you pick up 646 00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:38.760 too, which I didn't expect, and that stuff's fun. So I am 647 00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:42.480 excited to get into Dead Space two at some point that was that was actually 648 00:41:42.559 --> 00:41:45.639 my goal, was like I got burned through all this dead Space pre stuff 649 00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:47.840 and get into dead Space too, because they of that game is awesome. 650 00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:53.000 And then I just got bogged down and and all that dead Space pre stuff. 651 00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:57.440 So probably should have just skipped all that. Do the hacker suit, 652 00:41:58.400 --> 00:42:00.039 Yeah, Hicker, it's all right. Super worth I was what you could 653 00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:04.760 have played the super for about five minutes. I was more intricted. I 654 00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:07.320 was more I was more interested in seeing, like setting up some of the 655 00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:09.639 story stuff, and I don't know if it will pay. I don't I 656 00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:13.559 don't know that Ignition does all that much to set it up other than what 657 00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:15.000 happens in the last five minutes. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. 658 00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:19.119 I haven't played Dead Space too, so maybe they'll replation monsters. What 659 00:42:19.440 --> 00:42:21.880 did you didn't play Ignition? Did you know? How do you know that? 660 00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:24.079 Because I saw the end of it on Brad's play. There's monsters, 661 00:42:25.400 --> 00:42:31.440 yo, there's monsters, and it's in space. It's yeah, what space 662 00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:37.760 monsters. Such thing as space moms. There's space religions and space space monsters. 663 00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:43.400 It's just like space. It's not a space jam, it's a dead 664 00:42:43.480 --> 00:42:46.679 space. It's Dead Space two. So that's it. Great? Yeah, 665 00:42:46.719 --> 00:42:52.880 great, thanks Mannie. I had both consoles kicking. Yeah, we didn't. 666 00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:55.840 You didn't actually play the thing that we went to play last week? 667 00:42:55.920 --> 00:43:00.880 Did you? I played it? You didn't play it? You watched it. 668 00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:02.480 I'm not sure you're talking. What are you talking about? Dragon Age? 669 00:43:02.760 --> 00:43:06.639 What about Dragon Age? I thought that I thought Vinnie played that. 670 00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:08.679 Oh no, you didn't play it. That's right, that's up. Now 671 00:43:08.920 --> 00:43:12.719 I'll wait my turn. Sorry, Yeah, that's right, I'm done. 672 00:43:13.199 --> 00:43:15.599 Cash me out Jeanie. Hey, Jeff, Hey, what up dude? 673 00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:20.679 That's not much. It's doing whatever. How was your weekend? It's all 674 00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:24.000 right, I don't know. How are the pizza roles disgusting? We had? 675 00:43:24.119 --> 00:43:27.599 Really? Do you wanted a box of Takedo? No? Yeah, 676 00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:30.639 yes, sure, yes, okay what brand of pizza roles? Do you 677 00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:35.719 think? The only brand Tainos? So we got a bag into me and 678 00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:43.239 my roommate. I've never seen any of just three year running tradyree years. 679 00:43:43.320 --> 00:43:45.000 Yeah, yeah, that's happened three times. It's a trend. Pizza roll 680 00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:50.320 parties happening it all over the nation. Uh bag of ninety Get a big 681 00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:52.880 bag of pizza rolls for the Super Bowl and make yourself sick on them. 682 00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:55.880 And I probably took down two thirds of that Friday night. Brendan was saying 683 00:43:55.960 --> 00:44:00.639 that I should expect you to not be in today. The disturbing part is 684 00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:04.159 that the at the end, when all the pizza roles were gone, it 685 00:44:04.239 --> 00:44:06.719 still kind of felt Okay, You're like, I didn't feel great, but 686 00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:08.559 you know, in years past, I've been like I need to lay down. 687 00:44:08.559 --> 00:44:10.719 I can't. Actually, this is this is the worst thing that's ever 688 00:44:10.719 --> 00:44:14.239 happened. To me this time. I was like, this is gross, 689 00:44:14.400 --> 00:44:16.639 but I'm not incapacitated. But if you want to go for a jog or 690 00:44:16.679 --> 00:44:20.320 something, I could probably use it. You want to throw a couple more 691 00:44:20.360 --> 00:44:22.840 of those pizza roles in there, and if you're not yeah, if you're 692 00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:25.360 not doubled over clutching your midsection, you've come out of head. Yeah, 693 00:44:25.400 --> 00:44:29.119 I get or yeah, I guess you're not doing pizza rolls, right, 694 00:44:29.199 --> 00:44:31.039 Yeah, that's that's more what I was thinking. Do you make all the 695 00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:37.800 roles at once? No? No, no, no, that's folly about 696 00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:43.239 the logistical process with you leave the oven on for yeah, like the first 697 00:44:43.280 --> 00:44:45.320 three quarters of the game, and by the end of it, like you're 698 00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:50.079 wondering, why is the kitchen like all smoky and like smell like fire. 699 00:44:50.360 --> 00:44:52.039 Oh, because it's been cooking all the charred gunk in the bottom of my 700 00:44:52.119 --> 00:45:01.320 oven. For anyway, your video games, Fantasy Star Online, they got 701 00:45:01.360 --> 00:45:04.519 a new one of those coming out, right, Yeah, actually, yes, 702 00:45:04.760 --> 00:45:07.119 Fancy Star Online two is supposed to be out this year on the PC, 703 00:45:07.559 --> 00:45:10.519 but that's not where we're got ready for that by playing the first one 704 00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:15.559 or the PC version of them, join there you go. Yeah, that 705 00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:20.840 whole back catalog in so they actually took the servers down for PSO Blue Burst. 706 00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:22.599 Uh, they took the US servers down a while ago, I guess, 707 00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:28.920 but in Japan the servers were running until like October November of last year. 708 00:45:29.239 --> 00:45:32.599 I forget what the I forget what's past four five is when this current 709 00:45:32.679 --> 00:45:37.159 version came out. But what is so is that like version two Fancy Star 710 00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:43.000 Online, it had version two content in it, and they eventually came out 711 00:45:43.039 --> 00:45:45.639 with what they called episode or basically they called it episode two because and they 712 00:45:45.639 --> 00:45:51.760 also put out episode four because Episode three was the crappy card battle game for 713 00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:57.400 the game. Cute, yes it was, and people are running private servers 714 00:45:57.440 --> 00:45:59.559 for the game. So I decided to kind of see what's that, what 715 00:45:59.599 --> 00:46:02.519 that's all about, and check in on that, and that ended up with 716 00:46:02.559 --> 00:46:07.280 like a ten hour stretch on Saturday play it a whole shitload of the slid. 717 00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:12.119 So yep, Level eighteen got to keep feeding this mag It was a 718 00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:15.480 you make your mag look like a genesis. Yet no, I was always 719 00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:19.760 terrible at feeding Mag's the right stuff to get him to do. That I 720 00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:22.480 just never understood because at some point it's like I don't know. I think 721 00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:25.719 it figures into the mag stuff. But you have to name your character the 722 00:46:25.800 --> 00:46:30.159 right way so he gets the right section. I d oh, what is 723 00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:34.639 a mag? It's you have to feed it or something sort of kind of 724 00:46:34.679 --> 00:46:37.159 but it'll it hangs out behind you or or you know, floats above your 725 00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:40.159 shoulder. Sometimes it'll split it two and it evolves as you feed it. 726 00:46:40.199 --> 00:46:45.079 So you feed it healing items and like or anti paralysis or anti poison items 727 00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:49.920 and stuff, and it has four meters that fill based on how you're feeding 728 00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:52.599 it, and so power will level up or dexterity will level up, and 729 00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:58.800 it earns basically what super attacks over time, and as it evolves, it'll 730 00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:00.440 learn more. So the first one that I get is the class that I 731 00:47:00.480 --> 00:47:06.559 always play is this sick dolphin that shows up in rainbow space and then darts 732 00:47:06.639 --> 00:47:10.079 through enemies and hurts them. And then there are a bunch of other ones 733 00:47:10.199 --> 00:47:15.679 for all the you know, the lesser classes out there. But so bottom 734 00:47:15.719 --> 00:47:17.159 line, you gotta feed your mat. It's good man. You gotta feed 735 00:47:17.199 --> 00:47:20.199 your mag. So like every every like ten minutes or something like that. 736 00:47:20.280 --> 00:47:22.920 You can feed your mag three items. So but you have to remember to 737 00:47:23.039 --> 00:47:27.320 feed. It's try. If you don't feed it, nothing happens. But 738 00:47:27.559 --> 00:47:30.199 but nothing, that's the Yeah. I mean you can keep you once you 739 00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:35.239 once the timers expired, you can just feed it whatever. But for maximum 740 00:47:35.239 --> 00:47:37.920 efficiency, you want every feed in that thing. Like people were putting out 741 00:47:37.920 --> 00:47:40.159 applications for like to run on the PC while you were playing on the Dreamcast 742 00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:49.239 mag no a mag timer. It would go off and that's pretty crazy. 743 00:47:49.400 --> 00:47:52.320 Was there any VMU mag connectivity? No? I don't think so. I 744 00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:54.440 don't think there was any meaning. You'd make your mag. You can make 745 00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:58.079 your mag fight at chow. How could you not? How could they not 746 00:47:58.199 --> 00:48:00.880 let you put your mag on the VU. You could like feed the mag 747 00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:04.119 when you're out. The best thing you could do with it with the controller 748 00:48:04.239 --> 00:48:07.519 ports on a dreamcas controller. Where PSO was concerned was put a game shark 749 00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:13.960 in that thing. Because the that was what they fixed basically later on, 750 00:48:14.159 --> 00:48:20.519 is that all of the all the character stuff was stored was stored client side 751 00:48:21.039 --> 00:48:23.119 in the original game, so you could play it offline, you could take 752 00:48:23.119 --> 00:48:27.239 it online the same character. But then you know, you just had people 753 00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:30.320 hacking giving themselves the best armor and all this other stuff. And ruining the 754 00:48:30.360 --> 00:48:34.719 game. Yeah, it was a lot of fun throwing off any any semblance 755 00:48:34.760 --> 00:48:37.199 of balance or anything, right, all of the rarest items everyone then had. 756 00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:40.000 Yeah, so you know, with the PC version they tried to institute 757 00:48:40.039 --> 00:48:43.400 a bunch of stuff to try to prevent that sort of thing when they're running 758 00:48:43.400 --> 00:48:45.400 the servers. It sounds like they had mixed success with that at best. 759 00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:52.039 And now they have you know, private servers, So now I can actually 760 00:48:52.159 --> 00:48:55.440 just say I want the experience points to be like one thousand x what they 761 00:48:55.519 --> 00:48:59.480 normally are, or I just want to be a GM and be able to 762 00:48:59.519 --> 00:49:01.199 warp any where and do anything, and all the silly stuff. It's just 763 00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:04.679 kind of it's interesting to mess around with because you know, they added a 764 00:49:04.800 --> 00:49:07.519 ton of like when they did Episode four and its like on the PC, 765 00:49:07.639 --> 00:49:10.360 they added a ton of crazy stuff to that game, even Episode two, 766 00:49:10.360 --> 00:49:16.440 which I didn't play because they wanted a regular fee for it. They added 767 00:49:16.559 --> 00:49:21.079 all kinds of crazy business to a game that already had all sorts of insane 768 00:49:21.119 --> 00:49:22.559 shit and it Jeff can ask you a question, Yeah, why do you 769 00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:27.920 like Pso I don't really know, I don't like I found myself kind of 770 00:49:27.920 --> 00:49:30.280 asking myself that question, because it seemed to have like a lot of the 771 00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:35.679 components of things that you actively hate. Uh you know, it's the same 772 00:49:35.719 --> 00:49:38.719 reason I like Borderlands, like the loot. Yeah, is is pretty cool, 773 00:49:38.760 --> 00:49:40.960 and it was kind of the first of its kind. I mean at 774 00:49:42.000 --> 00:49:45.239 the time, there's a lot there. But the other thing I knew. 775 00:49:45.320 --> 00:49:49.159 The other thing I did is immediately go tell a friend of mine who I 776 00:49:49.239 --> 00:49:51.559 played a ton of PSO with back in the day, like, dude, 777 00:49:51.599 --> 00:49:54.280 you just get in on this. Uh So, at one point we were 778 00:49:54.320 --> 00:49:59.039 playing PSO and I was like, this is cool. To what end? 779 00:49:59.119 --> 00:50:00.840 Though, where are you going with this? I don't know, There's there's 780 00:50:00.880 --> 00:50:05.880 nothing. He's getting ready, that's what end. That's all video games though, 781 00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:07.840 Like that's in the moment, man, Yeah, that's you know the 782 00:50:12.199 --> 00:50:15.199 man, video games are only pointless. I don't know. Life. You 783 00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:22.239 gotta go building a breage or a village right now. We gotta make a 784 00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:28.239 difference in this world. According to Jane mcconagalls, what yah books books come 785 00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:32.559 on one of the teachers at Hogwarts. Yes, I'm not believing any of 786 00:50:32.639 --> 00:50:36.880 her bullshit books potions and I don't know if that's she was not cold Bear. 787 00:50:37.039 --> 00:50:43.199 Yeahs her name that you've got her name is OK. So I don't 788 00:50:43.199 --> 00:50:45.800 know, is that the nature is that the that's yeah, that whole thing 789 00:50:45.880 --> 00:50:51.440 is quasi legal obviously because it's private servers of a game other stuff. But 790 00:50:52.199 --> 00:50:54.760 I don't know that game works for me in a way that none of the 791 00:50:55.440 --> 00:51:01.559 handheld games have. And I probably if they had made the if they had 792 00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:06.519 not attached a monthly fee to the multiplayer and Fantasy Star Universe on the three 793 00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:08.960 sixty, I might have stuck with that a little world. I totally finished 794 00:51:09.000 --> 00:51:12.639 it a single player, and you know, tried the multiplayer when I was 795 00:51:12.679 --> 00:51:15.400 reviewing it and stuff, but I couldn't justify the cost. Yeah, because 796 00:51:15.599 --> 00:51:19.840 because well, that's the thing is, these games are not MMOs. And 797 00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:22.719 even you know, they did add content over time, but a lot of 798 00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:29.000 it was really hacky. It was like MK trilogy style of we have these 799 00:51:29.079 --> 00:51:31.599 parts, we're gonna try and cobble them into something new that doesn't necessarily break 800 00:51:31.679 --> 00:51:35.840 stuff. We made the green guy's blue yeah kind of. Also, this 801 00:51:35.920 --> 00:51:37.800 guy has a diagonal spear, no yeah, or yes? Yes? We 802 00:51:37.960 --> 00:51:43.320 added AOL logos all over it for this special AOL quest that's the sort of 803 00:51:43.320 --> 00:51:45.559 stuff they did with the PC version of Fantasy Star Online, which is why 804 00:51:45.599 --> 00:51:49.840 it makes sense that, you know, with the most recent like I think 805 00:51:49.840 --> 00:51:52.599 it was like Infinity two or maybe it was Infinite whatever it was that they 806 00:51:52.639 --> 00:51:55.039 put out in Japan, there was all sorts of tie in business with drink 807 00:51:55.199 --> 00:52:00.880 companies and Japanese logos all over every single bit of that thing. But it's 808 00:52:01.000 --> 00:52:06.119 it's not an MMO. Yeah, it's a four player games. It's Diablo, 809 00:52:06.280 --> 00:52:08.159 It's it's guild wars, you know, space, It's it's a less 810 00:52:08.199 --> 00:52:13.239 ambitious guild war. But even though even by any of those standards, it's 811 00:52:13.360 --> 00:52:16.639 it's pretty simple. Again at the time, it was like it on consoles, 812 00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:22.960 but there's nothing in there that that justifies them charging a regular fee for 813 00:52:22.039 --> 00:52:27.760 it. And that's the that's the biggest problem. So if that that's kind 814 00:52:27.800 --> 00:52:30.000 of the thing is he played a bunch of fucking ps over the weekend. 815 00:52:30.039 --> 00:52:31.760 So if they're gonna put out Fantasy Star Online too and try and charge people 816 00:52:31.840 --> 00:52:37.559 for it, I don't know, it'd better be a completely different game, 817 00:52:37.599 --> 00:52:39.599 which is kind of what they said. I found myself like reading going back 818 00:52:39.639 --> 00:52:45.239 and rereading the very small bits of information about that game that that came out 819 00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:47.840 when they mentioned they were doing it, and they say, like it's an 820 00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:52.920 entirely new work. Wasn't what the translation was better? And again, I 821 00:52:53.119 --> 00:52:58.320 you know, I love the balls on putting out a game, putting out 822 00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:01.960 eighteen peripheral game, and then putting out another game and calling it too I 823 00:53:02.079 --> 00:53:06.039 love that. Well that's that's it, man, It's it is too is 824 00:53:06.239 --> 00:53:08.079 everything else is all set somewhere else? Like this could be a return to 825 00:53:10.800 --> 00:53:15.079 go back to Pioneer two. Man, think about Pioneer three. What Pioneer 826 00:53:15.280 --> 00:53:21.599 three Pie two is now exploded as well? Oh god, as long as 827 00:53:21.639 --> 00:53:27.199 I could be a Now there is nothing short, thick, dark colored robot 828 00:53:27.320 --> 00:53:30.199 with a mushroom style head that shoots gigantic rifles. Yeah, I'm okay with 829 00:53:30.280 --> 00:53:37.960 that game. Anything else? No, man, Uh, all right, 830 00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:39.559 Brad, let's get let's get into it here. All right, what are 831 00:53:39.559 --> 00:53:45.440 you gonna start with? Let's start with namco Oh god, I forgot about 832 00:53:45.480 --> 00:53:49.400 that. Yeah, man, yeah, it's a busy week, it was. 833 00:53:49.679 --> 00:53:53.599 Jee's all right, Uh where do you want to start? They're in 834 00:53:53.719 --> 00:53:57.039 because even they had a lot of stuff, they had a fair mins of 835 00:53:57.079 --> 00:54:00.519 ship going on. So NAMCO had an event in San Francisco last week in 836 00:54:01.039 --> 00:54:07.800 in sunny in the on the sunny Sandy Beaches of San Francisco. They showed 837 00:54:07.920 --> 00:54:15.079 off well. They first had a roughly thirty six hour stage presentation that we 838 00:54:15.239 --> 00:54:21.199 skipped make it for that, which yeah, we did not sit through that. 839 00:54:22.920 --> 00:54:25.719 But then they also had some games to play and we played them. 840 00:54:27.400 --> 00:54:35.159 We did, and they include Ridge Race three We're off the clip ready, 841 00:54:35.239 --> 00:54:40.320 just stretch it out, stretch it out, and the men so rig Race 842 00:54:40.440 --> 00:54:44.400 three DS played it. I'm thinking my way around the room. I'm trying. 843 00:54:44.440 --> 00:54:45.840 I'm visualizing the room that we went to. Well, maybe maybe we 844 00:54:45.880 --> 00:54:49.320 should just run down all the three DS games at once, because I don't 845 00:54:49.320 --> 00:54:52.679 think any of them alone or substantial enough to Okay, we'll talk. So 846 00:54:53.440 --> 00:55:00.800 Ridge Race three DS is the three D. How's that look? It looks 847 00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:02.199 okay, it looks like a ridge racer game. It's the bottom screen. 848 00:55:02.280 --> 00:55:06.079 Do there's some kind of auto drift button? You had? It had a 849 00:55:06.159 --> 00:55:08.960 map on it, you know what? That's all I remember. I'll tell 850 00:55:09.000 --> 00:55:13.000 you this about the three DS, and it's something that I just realized right 851 00:55:13.079 --> 00:55:16.039 now, is that it is fucking impossible to change your focus from the top 852 00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:20.440 screen to the bottom screen when you were locked into looking at shit in three 853 00:55:20.519 --> 00:55:22.760 D, I'm talking anything else. Yeah, you don't want to avert your 854 00:55:22.760 --> 00:55:24.400 gays. You don't want to change because because there were definitely times where I 855 00:55:24.440 --> 00:55:28.199 was playing it and like, I don't know if you losted it or what 856 00:55:28.280 --> 00:55:30.239 happened, but I'm like, oh no, I'm cross, I don't know, 857 00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:34.760 I'm seeing everything double. I ended up playing Ridge Racer in two D 858 00:55:34.960 --> 00:55:37.079 for about half of the race that I played, and at that point it 859 00:55:37.239 --> 00:55:43.039 kind of looked like a PS one game. Did you auto drift? Uh? 860 00:55:43.239 --> 00:55:45.559 No? Because when you saw I know how to drift nowton or something? 861 00:55:45.840 --> 00:55:49.639 Well, no, they were talking about the auto drift feature, but 862 00:55:49.760 --> 00:55:52.400 I don't know enough about Ridge Racer too. Yeah. I hit the break 863 00:55:52.440 --> 00:55:57.199 and I started drifting. There you go. All the drifting is auto drifting. 864 00:55:58.039 --> 00:56:00.559 I did a three sixty reverse span around a corner, so great. 865 00:56:00.639 --> 00:56:05.559 The drifting works. When I saw it was the one in three D that 866 00:56:06.320 --> 00:56:07.679 made me the three D one. Yeah, you know, the one that 867 00:56:07.800 --> 00:56:09.760 was playing in three D. I don't know which one of you were playing. 868 00:56:10.039 --> 00:56:13.320 It was harder than it was the one where if you put the three 869 00:56:13.400 --> 00:56:17.159 D slider up all the way, it was just insane, like my eyes 870 00:56:17.199 --> 00:56:20.599 would just it's it's pretty intense. Well, I think what it is is 871 00:56:20.639 --> 00:56:25.800 I feel like they really punched the car out of the background, like like 872 00:56:25.920 --> 00:56:30.960 they make like that is the number one most prominent thing that really jumps out 873 00:56:30.559 --> 00:56:36.719 out of the screen. It like the ratio for like the distance of things 874 00:56:36.760 --> 00:56:39.559 and how much three D they are giving you doesn't feel natural in there. 875 00:56:39.559 --> 00:56:44.400 It feels like the cars is being stretched way the fuck out, But then 876 00:56:44.559 --> 00:56:46.840 the rest of the background doesn't have it that necessarily that same kind of depth. 877 00:56:47.119 --> 00:56:50.280 It was hard. It was hard for me focus. It's a lot. 878 00:56:50.320 --> 00:56:52.760 You definitely have to all of them so far. I found you have 879 00:56:52.840 --> 00:56:55.280 to kind of find your your comfort, your sweet spot for where you can 880 00:56:55.280 --> 00:56:59.639 actually look at, which for me was about maybe a third of the three 881 00:56:59.719 --> 00:57:01.920 D. It's about all. It's about two thirds and is about where I 882 00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:07.639 like to set it. Six percent three D the sixty six point two. 883 00:57:07.880 --> 00:57:12.440 Okay, so you don't have any I'm going sixty seven you don't, I'm 884 00:57:12.480 --> 00:57:15.239 going sixty seven percent. I wonder if this is a factor you don't wear 885 00:57:15.400 --> 00:57:17.719 any kind of corrective lenses. No, I have great eyes. I have 886 00:57:17.840 --> 00:57:22.400 the best eyes any I don't like you wear content focus. I don't know 887 00:57:22.400 --> 00:57:25.880 if you have this experience or not, but I could feel like palpable eyestrain, 888 00:57:27.119 --> 00:57:29.679 have super ese, Like you know what it's like not having your any 889 00:57:29.719 --> 00:57:31.320 kind of lenses on. You know, like you just get aheadache because your 890 00:57:31.320 --> 00:57:36.719 eyes are like you're constantly straining to see everything. It's like that super how 891 00:57:36.760 --> 00:57:38.199 super your eyes? Well, we should test it. We should see how 892 00:57:38.280 --> 00:57:40.480 far I can read stuff because I can read stuff pretty far. You can 893 00:57:40.559 --> 00:57:43.679 read STUFP pretty far. You don't even have to put the slider up. 894 00:57:43.800 --> 00:57:45.320 You just see it in three D naturally. Yeah, well I see all 895 00:57:45.320 --> 00:57:51.920 of you guys in three D right now. It's crazy. Now what do 896 00:57:51.960 --> 00:57:55.480 you got? Oh god? Oh no. The one of the namcocer is 897 00:57:55.519 --> 00:57:59.800 actually recommended that you hold it closer to your face. Really, I try 898 00:57:59.840 --> 00:58:04.079 that and it was easier to see. I mean, well, these guys 899 00:58:04.119 --> 00:58:06.320 should go. I guess you should go through the rest of the games before 900 00:58:06.760 --> 00:58:10.639 Yeah. Sure. Other three DS games include They had something called dual pin 901 00:58:10.760 --> 00:58:14.559 Sports, which is basically you like, tell me about that. Basically we 902 00:58:14.679 --> 00:58:22.440 Sports for the three DS, but requires two stylist is Styli Stylus, Styli 903 00:58:22.639 --> 00:58:27.559 spice the stylists double stylists. They said they are examining their options and may 904 00:58:27.639 --> 00:58:31.559 include a stylist a Kimbo second stylists in the box. This is the game 905 00:58:31.599 --> 00:58:36.639 that requires two styles. Is they're examining their eyes. He would come with 906 00:58:36.719 --> 00:58:38.719 two styles. You would not confirm that they had worked out their plans exactly, 907 00:58:38.840 --> 00:58:42.519 but they were hoping to include another stylist. We all know you already 908 00:58:42.559 --> 00:58:45.440 have a DS I take the stylist out of that. That's really their only 909 00:58:45.480 --> 00:58:50.239 other options. But I mean that was just a bunch of boxing and baseball 910 00:58:50.400 --> 00:58:52.239 and archery. I think. So at that point, you literally you have 911 00:58:52.320 --> 00:58:54.480 to have the DS on a tape. I had to set it down in 912 00:58:54.519 --> 00:58:58.679 front of me and just kind of right you things that you had, like 913 00:58:58.760 --> 00:59:00.719 stylus on the bottom screen just wherever, and then the actions on the top 914 00:59:01.079 --> 00:59:05.800 three days basically like boxing was sort of like one styles per hand kind of 915 00:59:05.840 --> 00:59:10.119 stuff. And then they have that pac Man and Galagha demensions. That's the 916 00:59:10.199 --> 00:59:14.039 name of the whole package. Yes, so it's two separate games that they're 917 00:59:14.079 --> 00:59:20.280 kind of bundling because neither is really big enough to justify a game on it 918 00:59:20.360 --> 00:59:23.079 can't really call it a minigame collect it's but it's not a mini game collection 919 00:59:23.119 --> 00:59:30.840 even even together. I don't know it's a retail will see. But the 920 00:59:30.960 --> 00:59:35.840 Galagha part is basically a they're they're both they both use the three D Galagha 921 00:59:35.920 --> 00:59:40.320 more so, the most mind blowing part of that package is that that pac 922 00:59:40.400 --> 00:59:44.880 Man game, which is half of that cart yeah, is completely in two 923 00:59:45.000 --> 00:59:47.960 D. But the reason for that is that both of these games use the 924 00:59:49.480 --> 00:59:53.199 the tilt and motion functions of the three D. Yeah. Actually that's that's 925 00:59:53.239 --> 00:59:57.400 the I mean, that's the foremost feature there. I think the guy that 926 00:59:57.519 --> 00:59:59.679 was at that kiosk I asked while I was Pacman not in two D, 927 00:59:59.760 --> 01:00:02.119 and he actually said something about like the kind of the art ass as they 928 01:00:02.159 --> 01:00:05.719 were using, like the style of the game they thought did not lend itself 929 01:00:05.800 --> 01:00:07.559 well to two D. But I figured, you know, you got to 930 01:00:07.559 --> 01:00:10.119 tilt that fucking three DS around a bunch. Oh, you're not gonna be 931 01:00:10.119 --> 01:00:13.400 able to keep track of the three D. That's totally fair, but it's 932 01:00:13.440 --> 01:00:15.880 just it's weird to me because I assume the platform maker would have this requirement. 933 01:00:16.639 --> 01:00:20.920 The stuff show maybe three D. Maybe that's why the Galagha party. 934 01:00:20.960 --> 01:00:23.079 And he totally said like, well, we've got the Gallagha that's in three 935 01:00:23.159 --> 01:00:29.719 D. We figured that would satisfy that requirement. I love this idea of 936 01:00:29.920 --> 01:00:35.000 two D games on the three DS, but sneaking them in though we have 937 01:00:35.320 --> 01:00:38.079 we have Mario Brothers. It's in three D. Now we're now we're good. 938 01:00:38.800 --> 01:00:42.800 Yeah, we have Mario Brothers in three D class like they're just but 939 01:00:42.800 --> 01:00:45.199 they're just gonna start doing the Mario Advance. Put that put like a tiny 940 01:00:45.199 --> 01:00:49.079 little arcade game in there. Every time three D. That's a three and 941 01:00:49.159 --> 01:00:52.880 then the games is regular flat. We don't have to worry about that. 942 01:00:52.480 --> 01:00:55.960 So were those were those were the three DS games? Yep? So general 943 01:00:57.000 --> 01:00:59.920 and oppressions onto three DS. This is like kind of big. Firsthand, 944 01:01:00.719 --> 01:01:05.880 it seems like a decent piece hardware since E three at least, you know, 945 01:01:06.000 --> 01:01:08.480 I think that the I think the three DS feels good in the hand. 946 01:01:09.320 --> 01:01:14.960 I think that they've they've done well on Yeah, Nintendo has done their 947 01:01:15.039 --> 01:01:19.440 part. They made they made it the hardware. They made some nice improvements 948 01:01:19.440 --> 01:01:22.480 to it since E three, they've they've reprosed that what are they calling it, 949 01:01:22.519 --> 01:01:25.320 the analog thing, the thing, there's a name for it, like 950 01:01:25.480 --> 01:01:30.679 like slide pad or something like that. I don't know whatever. Max, 951 01:01:30.960 --> 01:01:36.960 Yes, I'm not a fan of those little clickie buttons underneath the touch screen. 952 01:01:37.000 --> 01:01:39.519 I don't know about your guys. The start and selecting home. I 953 01:01:39.599 --> 01:01:42.920 wasn't a fan because I couldn't see it. Yeah, it was really dark 954 01:01:42.960 --> 01:01:46.400 in that basement, and they're basically impossible to find. But as you'll get 955 01:01:46.480 --> 01:01:50.119 used to that. I'm sure I played some. I played some there after 956 01:01:50.199 --> 01:01:52.880 we were doing our rounds and I was like, well, I'm waiting for 957 01:01:52.920 --> 01:01:57.559 Brad to play Ridge Razor before we take off here. Uh, they've got 958 01:01:57.679 --> 01:02:01.199 this pac Man Championship Edition for PSPs. I'll go play that. What the 959 01:02:01.239 --> 01:02:07.079 hell, guys, pac Man is still pretty good of us, the first 960 01:02:07.280 --> 01:02:10.400 as Championship Edition, and it's PSP Mini too, such five bucks and it 961 01:02:10.480 --> 01:02:15.840 doesn't it's not like it is not even as feature rich as some of the 962 01:02:15.960 --> 01:02:19.719 other pac Man products that have come out recently, which were I thought fairly 963 01:02:20.039 --> 01:02:23.800 spartan to a certain degree. Uh, this is like five modes, no 964 01:02:24.000 --> 01:02:30.119 leaderboard just go. But pac Man, even though it's way way harder and 965 01:02:30.280 --> 01:02:35.039 way slower than d x CHA Championship Edition, is still some baller shit. 966 01:02:36.119 --> 01:02:38.840 Huh huh, huh huh. What were they demoting on the go? No, 967 01:02:38.960 --> 01:02:43.840 I just did. It's funny because like the game came out that day. 968 01:02:44.079 --> 01:02:47.840 I think they had it running on a PSP D Bug says like system 969 01:02:49.119 --> 01:02:52.400 like full on with the Giant Tower and all that shit. Yeah, I 970 01:02:52.480 --> 01:02:57.599 was. I thought it was a little a little bit odd. King's Contracts 971 01:02:57.639 --> 01:03:01.639 Contract, Night's Contract. I didn't play much of that. Is that it's 972 01:03:01.639 --> 01:03:07.599 almost out, said three sixty p s three game game Republic making that downloadable. 973 01:03:07.639 --> 01:03:14.800 They of Magina in the Second Kingdom and also Genji. Uh, I 974 01:03:14.840 --> 01:03:16.079 don't know. It looked okay. It seemed like a what are you doing 975 01:03:16.119 --> 01:03:21.199 it? Pretty standard character action, God of War, Devil mccry kind of 976 01:03:21.280 --> 01:03:24.320 stuff. Has a look. It seemed all right, you're running it mostly 977 01:03:24.440 --> 01:03:29.519 sixty frames a second, but like the like the art did it look because 978 01:03:29.599 --> 01:03:34.440 mcgin was like kind of weird, had a last generation kind of looked to 979 01:03:34.519 --> 01:03:38.840 it. It looked okay. They have a certain grit to their games, 980 01:03:38.880 --> 01:03:45.639 getting Republic games. I'm not saying it was Magine was like terrible looking, 981 01:03:45.719 --> 01:03:52.199 but it just definitely had that like weird remind me of Enslaved something about the 982 01:03:53.039 --> 01:03:58.400 the quality of the textures. It almost seems like a style thing more than 983 01:03:58.480 --> 01:04:01.199 necessarily a tech thing. I don't know sure, but that's out like two 984 01:04:01.239 --> 01:04:04.880 weeks, so I don't make game engines take a look at that. Uh. 985 01:04:05.760 --> 01:04:10.639 Inversion, Yeah, inversion, I think that's probably their their biggest They 986 01:04:10.840 --> 01:04:13.800 ended, they ended like we got their tail end of the presentations and that's 987 01:04:13.840 --> 01:04:18.320 what they ended with a lengthy battle version and we played some inversion. This 988 01:04:18.559 --> 01:04:26.320 is coming from Saber Interactive guys. Big Time Shift coming out next year like 989 01:04:26.480 --> 01:04:29.440 this time next year. Busy guys, those Sabers. They certainly are, 990 01:04:29.679 --> 01:04:32.800 at least in theory. Sounds like it. I think rumor. I think 991 01:04:32.840 --> 01:04:38.119 we broke this thing down right. It was eight percent years of war, 992 01:04:38.519 --> 01:04:43.400 at fifteen percent what do we say, dead space, dead space, and 993 01:04:43.440 --> 01:04:48.840 then about about five percent fracture. Yeah about that which parts fracture, So 994 01:04:49.039 --> 01:04:53.960 so I meant to be careful when you add that fracture. Basically, it's 995 01:04:54.000 --> 01:04:58.719 like it's like pepper, It's it's kind of you know, apocalyptic e urban 996 01:04:58.840 --> 01:05:06.360 environments. Okay, cover based the third person shooter, very familiar controls. 997 01:05:06.719 --> 01:05:11.480 Yeah, absolutely, you know, Rody run everything. You kind of anticipate 998 01:05:11.559 --> 01:05:16.599 from that no active reload. That's basically why it's at you're saying the active 999 01:05:16.639 --> 01:05:23.960 reload is twenty percent experience. You tell me there's uh, I could see 1000 01:05:24.000 --> 01:05:29.360 someone making a case for that. You have crazy gravity powers, so you 1001 01:05:29.440 --> 01:05:33.519 can like to do you can shoot gravity, so so it it's it's kind 1002 01:05:33.559 --> 01:05:38.159 of crazy because at first glance, like, oh, so all of this 1003 01:05:38.280 --> 01:05:41.199 cover stuff doesn't mean anything because I could like, oh, those guys are 1004 01:05:41.239 --> 01:05:46.280 behind cover, let me shoot out this ray of gravity craziness at them, 1005 01:05:46.400 --> 01:05:50.159 and then them and everything around them kind of floats up and is kind of 1006 01:05:50.199 --> 01:05:54.320 discombobulated for a second. They can still move, so it's like they come 1007 01:05:54.440 --> 01:05:58.760 they rise up behind the cover right because they're floating in the air and they're 1008 01:05:58.800 --> 01:06:00.199 at first they're kind of like spin around, like going like what the fuck 1009 01:06:00.280 --> 01:06:02.719 is going? Figured out? And they figured it out and they start shooting 1010 01:06:02.719 --> 01:06:05.599 at you. But then they're exposed and you can shoot them more easily. 1011 01:06:05.719 --> 01:06:09.239 It's a cool looking effects, like the way the way it looks and like 1012 01:06:09.360 --> 01:06:12.840 all the there's a lot of debris around, so like all that comes up 1013 01:06:12.880 --> 01:06:15.960 as well. So it's just so you'll like be running by like an office 1014 01:06:15.039 --> 01:06:17.320 chair and I'll bump you in the shoulder and just kind of spin through the 1015 01:06:17.400 --> 01:06:19.719 air. It feels a lot like those zero G stuff in dead space too, 1016 01:06:19.840 --> 01:06:23.840 Like just a lot of like objects a sort of lazily kind of floating 1017 01:06:23.880 --> 01:06:29.320 around you and stuff. Second part of that demo, they also had the 1018 01:06:29.440 --> 01:06:32.320 environment of the entire world shifting, like so all of the all of the 1019 01:06:33.280 --> 01:06:36.800 all the gravity went sideways. So you're staying there on the street and there's 1020 01:06:36.960 --> 01:06:41.039 you're like in this you know, the urban areas, there's big tall buildings 1021 01:06:41.119 --> 01:06:43.280 beside you. You're running out of the street and all of a sudden, 1022 01:06:43.400 --> 01:06:45.880 oh fuck gravity and then everything shifts sideways and now you are standing on the 1023 01:06:45.920 --> 01:06:49.719 side of this building. And it seems like it's it's kind of like set 1024 01:06:50.360 --> 01:06:54.719 it's it's not something that would trigger randomly necessarily, at least the way this 1025 01:06:54.800 --> 01:06:58.119 is present, it seems like spirit there is a specific path to be taken. 1026 01:06:58.239 --> 01:07:00.280 Now that you are on the side of this is everything I was on 1027 01:07:00.360 --> 01:07:04.320 the street crash into the building as well, like cars and whatever else people's 1028 01:07:04.440 --> 01:07:11.400 and I don't recall. That doesn't sound scientifically possible. Guys on a ship 1029 01:07:11.599 --> 01:07:15.719 maybe not. No, it seems like you were on an Earth. Bad 1030 01:07:15.800 --> 01:07:18.599 things are happening, not necessarily Earth. I don't know. Yeah, it 1031 01:07:18.679 --> 01:07:23.920 might be earth work to welcome to Earth. It could be in a dream 1032 01:07:24.400 --> 01:07:27.239 within a dream. We're not talking about that right now. Is a dream 1033 01:07:27.280 --> 01:07:31.719 collapsing? Uh? You know, we we're trying to keep you know, 1034 01:07:31.840 --> 01:07:38.760 story elements close to the best right now. I don't know if they did 1035 01:07:38.840 --> 01:07:42.519 that game any favors by showing it this early, because it's a good year 1036 01:07:42.639 --> 01:07:46.159 and change away from Relief, there's there's performance issues. Yeah, so is 1037 01:07:46.199 --> 01:07:55.440 that the fracture part? Then that's it sounds conceptually interesting. It's certainly it 1038 01:07:55.559 --> 01:08:00.199 does sound interesting. I don't know. I don't know if it's enough to 1039 01:08:00.320 --> 01:08:05.519 be like I'm not sure if NAMCO is positioning this as like this is one 1040 01:08:05.599 --> 01:08:09.599 of our big new ips. This is going to be a huge push for 1041 01:08:09.719 --> 01:08:16.800 us here because it seems too immediately derivative to be to be on the level 1042 01:08:16.880 --> 01:08:20.359 of a dead space or a Gears or anything kind of getting the ring and 1043 01:08:20.439 --> 01:08:24.000 stand on its own exactly exactly, like this would be like, oh, 1044 01:08:24.039 --> 01:08:27.000 this is a good weekend or you know, good kind of middle tier. 1045 01:08:27.119 --> 01:08:30.640 I don't know, it's your Vanquish. Sure, it is like a Vanquish. 1046 01:08:30.079 --> 01:08:32.640 I could see that. We'll have to We'll have to see when Gears 1047 01:08:32.680 --> 01:08:35.399 three actually ends up coming out, because I mean they have moved it to 1048 01:08:35.479 --> 01:08:39.960 holiday, but it could be like a September thing. Like Microsoft's been doing 1049 01:08:40.000 --> 01:08:45.119 Halo in September, so they'll probably do Halo in September this year. Maybe 1050 01:08:45.239 --> 01:08:46.359 we'll get to that. Well, whatever, we'll see. I mean, 1051 01:08:46.640 --> 01:08:49.560 this is out in February of next year or so, maybe it's far out 1052 01:08:49.680 --> 01:08:53.359 enough from years three that like people will be kind of looking for something new 1053 01:08:53.520 --> 01:08:56.439 in that vein maybe February of next year. Yes, okay, that is 1054 01:08:56.479 --> 01:09:00.600 not a year of changed. It's like a late February I think it was. 1055 01:09:00.720 --> 01:09:02.000 It was. Yeah, it was like a year and a couple of 1056 01:09:02.079 --> 01:09:04.520 weeks. Yeah, okay, that's changed, all right, Yes, you 1057 01:09:04.560 --> 01:09:11.079 got it perfect. I feel like a conversion rate like on time. I 1058 01:09:11.159 --> 01:09:15.520 think the those games always seem to kind of live and die by their design, 1059 01:09:15.840 --> 01:09:17.239 like once you get past the cool factor, and you're like, yeah, 1060 01:09:17.439 --> 01:09:20.640 yeah, then quality of the game, like what do you guys do 1061 01:09:20.880 --> 01:09:24.920 with your crazy gracture was actually kind of cool for like the first two levels 1062 01:09:24.920 --> 01:09:27.279 where you're like this is yeah, it's kind of cool. You're like, 1063 01:09:27.399 --> 01:09:30.720 now do this for seven more hours and you're like, oh, I don't 1064 01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:33.279 want to do that, or shut up and do it all right, No 1065 01:09:33.560 --> 01:09:40.079 fracture, I'm putting my foot down. Was up. Tide goes in, 1066 01:09:40.239 --> 01:09:44.479 Tide goes Out. There's really there's no miscommunication there. Explain it. I 1067 01:09:44.520 --> 01:09:46.439 want a game where I can watch some side roll in wherever I am there, 1068 01:09:46.560 --> 01:09:48.520 give me a cover based third person shooter, or I can just make 1069 01:09:48.640 --> 01:09:55.520 the tide roll in that wash and then everybody washes away and the tide go 1070 01:09:55.600 --> 01:09:58.479 out and then there are puzzles. There's water here. What do I do 1071 01:09:59.279 --> 01:10:00.800 out? R Yeah? I mean the tide go out? Now I can 1072 01:10:00.920 --> 01:10:04.159 run through here? Yeah? Well where did the moon come from? Where 1073 01:10:04.159 --> 01:10:09.039 did it come from? God? Do you win? Oh damn. That's 1074 01:10:09.079 --> 01:10:13.880 the end of the game. It's when you embrace the thing. So that's 1075 01:10:13.880 --> 01:10:17.159 the thing is I you play as a moon man and have power over the 1076 01:10:17.239 --> 01:10:21.600 tides as someone from the lunar surface. I feel like that game has been 1077 01:10:21.640 --> 01:10:26.039 made in Japan somewhere. And then you gotta sometimes you gotta like get on 1078 01:10:26.199 --> 01:10:29.239 a rock and then make the tide go in, and then the rock floats 1079 01:10:30.239 --> 01:10:32.239 because it's a light rock, and then you part of the Moon rock and 1080 01:10:32.239 --> 01:10:35.439 then you're part of the rocks and then you jump up to get on top 1081 01:10:35.520 --> 01:10:41.399 of the building. Tide goes out, Tide goes out. So we should 1082 01:10:41.399 --> 01:10:45.359 make a game with lunar gravity. Is somebody ever done that demolition derby VMX 1083 01:10:45.479 --> 01:10:49.279 racing for the PlayStation one an old course set on the Moon? Is it? 1084 01:10:49.520 --> 01:10:53.399 You always remember the name? I never do demolition derby construction kit, 1085 01:10:53.479 --> 01:10:57.760 Demolition Derby Racing, Destruction set set gravity, you do any kind of gravity 1086 01:10:57.800 --> 01:11:01.159 one that Jupiter gravity wipe out fusion for the PS two at a moon level, 1087 01:11:01.960 --> 01:11:05.239 I mean like a platform where you're just like bouncing around. Just get 1088 01:11:05.279 --> 01:11:10.520 a game, Gigantic Lander, Gary Mud. Yeah, there's that game there, 1089 01:11:10.600 --> 01:11:14.000 that that NASA game they released on the team where you have Oh that's 1090 01:11:14.079 --> 01:11:15.560 right, Oh god, I never played that. You can't to be making 1091 01:11:15.600 --> 01:11:23.000 game. The game was just Red Rock art. Red Rock RTX was a 1092 01:11:23.239 --> 01:11:27.760 was on Mars. That NASA game was just a recruitment tool. Yeah, 1093 01:11:28.000 --> 01:11:31.680 yes, they're just trying like Last Starfighter and great good recruit people for NASA 1094 01:11:31.920 --> 01:11:33.680 have to You see what you have to do in that game, make more 1095 01:11:33.760 --> 01:11:36.359 like anti recruits. It's really what you do. Because I thought this would 1096 01:11:36.359 --> 01:11:41.800 be excited, make more science. Take your temperature again, make more science. 1097 01:11:42.199 --> 01:11:45.079 I thought I was going to find trans science. We got. I 1098 01:11:45.119 --> 01:11:47.479 guess we got some extra time on the mission. We can bring a turtle 1099 01:11:47.600 --> 01:11:53.039 up for these kids who want to know about turtles in space. We got 1100 01:11:53.279 --> 01:12:03.960 to talk to the director of Turtles of the new Space Combat. Right, 1101 01:12:04.439 --> 01:12:06.520 Yeah, that sounds what it's called. Sounds right. I think that's right. 1102 01:12:06.640 --> 01:12:13.560 Assault Horizon, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, that's right because it has 1103 01:12:13.640 --> 01:12:16.600 the close range assault feature. That's that's the big innovation that they're bringing to 1104 01:12:16.720 --> 01:12:20.560 the table. That's right. So basically iron sights for your plane for your 1105 01:12:20.560 --> 01:12:25.800 plane, uh like more more dynamic camera work for the for the for that 1106 01:12:26.880 --> 01:12:30.680 uh like when you see it when it's in action, Uh, it makes 1107 01:12:30.720 --> 01:12:36.439 sense. It looks really slick because it it takes over a certain amount of 1108 01:12:36.560 --> 01:12:40.479 your like flight control, so you can aim a bit. So that you 1109 01:12:40.560 --> 01:12:45.399 can aim more more accurately. And uh, and it seems like basically basics 1110 01:12:45.600 --> 01:12:50.720 console, not PSP console, the full the full compliments of consoles. It 1111 01:12:51.000 --> 01:12:56.760 because like ace combat is always just a lock on game. Yeah, and 1112 01:12:56.840 --> 01:12:59.720 then shoot your missiles and then you're done. Like this, all this, 1113 01:13:00.000 --> 01:13:03.960 all this close quarters? Was it close quarters combat with close close range of 1114 01:13:03.960 --> 01:13:11.279 saul that I heard the name of this? You gotta like take planes, 1115 01:13:11.319 --> 01:13:15.920 have to learn kravmaga the close range of sault possibilities. But it but it 1116 01:13:15.000 --> 01:13:19.159 makes it makes the crap. It makes like your you know, your vulcan 1117 01:13:19.199 --> 01:13:24.840 caannons or machine guns or whatever actually useful cool. Uh. And it seems 1118 01:13:24.880 --> 01:13:28.279 it looks really nice to have a crazy story, so that that's actually what 1119 01:13:28.439 --> 01:13:30.760 kind of concerned me. How long does it take to get into the game, 1120 01:13:30.800 --> 01:13:36.600 Yeah, I guess not as so the guy directed like I think five, 1121 01:13:38.479 --> 01:13:42.479 so he knows his way around a crazy ace combat story. Yeah. 1122 01:13:42.920 --> 01:13:45.720 And one of the things we were saying is they didn't they realized that they 1123 01:13:45.760 --> 01:13:48.600 had gotten trapped into kind of a pattern as far as the structure went of 1124 01:13:48.800 --> 01:13:53.560 just you know, briefing, mission debriefing and then for instant repeat through the 1125 01:13:53.720 --> 01:13:57.680 entire game. Uh, so they're gonna mix it up some with the structure, 1126 01:13:58.439 --> 01:14:00.399 uh, having like you know, cut scenes go directly into gameplay, 1127 01:14:00.439 --> 01:14:03.560 just stuff to make it more dynamic. That stuff sounded good. That sounded 1128 01:14:03.600 --> 01:14:06.239 like streamlining. But yeah, that's also that's modernizing. But also I guess 1129 01:14:06.239 --> 01:14:11.680 they're saying, like, you know, they received the feedback that some people 1130 01:14:11.800 --> 01:14:18.439 felt that the the the sincerity levels of storytelling in past ace combat was perhaps 1131 01:14:18.479 --> 01:14:25.319 a bit high. Uh yeah, there's there's just that how they put it, 1132 01:14:26.359 --> 01:14:28.399 well, you know, going we're going through a translator here. I 1133 01:14:28.399 --> 01:14:30.079 don't don't, I don't. I don't know that that was the exact message. 1134 01:14:30.119 --> 01:14:33.960 But yeah, but basically like like they were taking themselves too seriously. 1135 01:14:34.119 --> 01:14:38.640 Basically like someone said that, Yeah, like the storytelling is too is too 1136 01:14:38.720 --> 01:14:42.720 since here and too serious. So that was like the one thing that set 1137 01:14:42.760 --> 01:14:45.399 it apart from every other flight combat games. Well, they're still going to 1138 01:14:45.600 --> 01:14:48.359 have a big, crazy story in it, but it sounds more like just 1139 01:14:48.479 --> 01:14:54.079 the style of it. Like they had a US uh military consultant come in 1140 01:14:54.159 --> 01:14:58.279 and they talked about planes and scenarios and things like that. Dudes playing volleyball 1141 01:14:58.439 --> 01:15:01.840 say, when we aim we aimed the sites. Oh yeah, but dude, 1142 01:15:02.159 --> 01:15:04.439 forget all that. You know, you want to roll the SATs. 1143 01:15:08.279 --> 01:15:11.479 You want to take this one. You've got, You've got the personal history. 1144 01:15:12.199 --> 01:15:14.560 I guess, deeply, deeply relevant. I suppose. So, so 1145 01:15:14.640 --> 01:15:16.279 he's talking at this point, she can I tell the who tell the whole 1146 01:15:16.279 --> 01:15:23.000 story, tell the whole story. So so he's talking about the like the 1147 01:15:23.439 --> 01:15:26.800 mission structure stuff, and like, oh, you know, you might you'll 1148 01:15:26.880 --> 01:15:30.039 be playing you know, as the you know, as the fighter pilot or 1149 01:15:30.079 --> 01:15:31.600 whatever, and you know, you might go directly to cutscene, or you 1150 01:15:31.640 --> 01:15:34.840 might see something from the perspective of the bomber pilot, or you might see 1151 01:15:34.840 --> 01:15:39.399 something from the perspective of the the helicopter pilot. I said, so, 1152 01:15:39.720 --> 01:15:42.880 so is that just like like story stuff, Are you actually gonna play as 1153 01:15:43.000 --> 01:15:48.279 the bomber or the helicopter pilot? And lengthy exchange in Japanese back and forth, 1154 01:15:48.560 --> 01:15:51.880 and then and then you translates it like I don't know if I could 1155 01:15:51.960 --> 01:15:56.279 say anything about this right now, like pr from off to the side of 1156 01:15:57.159 --> 01:16:00.199 no, just a hard no, like like no, you can't say anything, 1157 01:16:00.199 --> 01:16:01.760 Like no, you can't say anything about it. And we're like, 1158 01:16:01.800 --> 01:16:03.960 well, okay, well we know what that means. But whatever. It's 1159 01:16:03.960 --> 01:16:08.119 like, you're not fooling anybody, dude, just like is going through debug 1160 01:16:08.279 --> 01:16:12.560 menus while we're talking here and just a loading stream comes up where it's all 1161 01:16:12.560 --> 01:16:16.479 in Japanese except for one word right in the middle Apache, And so we're 1162 01:16:16.520 --> 01:16:19.199 all seeing there like, oh, okay, you're just gonna you're just gonna 1163 01:16:19.239 --> 01:16:21.920 show it to us now, and clearly like Pierre's like, god, damn 1164 01:16:21.960 --> 01:16:25.800 it, he obviously wanted to show it. Yeah. It's it's always that 1165 01:16:25.920 --> 01:16:29.319 struggle of if you actually developer to developer about something, they always want to 1166 01:16:29.359 --> 01:16:30.199 show to you. They always want to say, I'm really proud of this, 1167 01:16:30.239 --> 01:16:32.439 shoot this out. What do you think? But Beier's like, don't 1168 01:16:33.840 --> 01:16:36.319 I think with a game like that it benefits them to show, hey, 1169 01:16:36.439 --> 01:16:41.560 this is different from the last few as early as they possibly you saw a 1170 01:16:41.640 --> 01:16:45.560 crazy helicopter level. Was it in fact crazy or was it just a helicopter? 1171 01:16:45.640 --> 01:16:46.720 It was kind of crazy. It's a lot of ground assault. He 1172 01:16:46.800 --> 01:16:49.520 was like blowing up a lot of tanks and shooting it guys in a city 1173 01:16:49.640 --> 01:16:53.399 and stuff. That was the thing that struck me most of what they have 1174 01:16:53.520 --> 01:16:56.159 been showing of this new A's combat game is you know, a combat is 1175 01:16:56.159 --> 01:17:00.479 always way up in the air right alco the ground. You're like, this 1176 01:17:00.600 --> 01:17:03.920 stuff is like this one can do. This is built around being very close 1177 01:17:04.000 --> 01:17:06.039 to the ground. And it seems like at least a lot of the mission 1178 01:17:06.039 --> 01:17:08.920 they're showing, they said that, yeah, there will be some of that 1179 01:17:09.039 --> 01:17:12.960 you know, sky high crazy stuff as well, but uh yeah, a 1180 01:17:13.079 --> 01:17:15.520 lot of interaction with the ground, a lot of just you know, aerial 1181 01:17:15.600 --> 01:17:17.520 combat near the ground, a lot of like, uh like the one area 1182 01:17:17.560 --> 01:17:20.800 we saw with jet was in some of the like industrial like oil field or 1183 01:17:20.800 --> 01:17:24.600 something, and there's sort of a lot of like weaving between like oil wells 1184 01:17:24.640 --> 01:17:27.199 and stuff like that. That sounds fun, like especially it seemed like in 1185 01:17:27.279 --> 01:17:30.119 the close range stuff when you're zoomed in on that mode, like you're kind 1186 01:17:30.119 --> 01:17:32.439 of going in between a lot of obstacles and stuff. So it looks Yeah, 1187 01:17:32.520 --> 01:17:35.520 they've they've made it look real nice. They've they've made it look more 1188 01:17:35.520 --> 01:17:39.920 exciting and definitely like, you know, it got helicopters a lot, I 1189 01:17:39.960 --> 01:17:45.720 could say, officially, And then even after he showed it to a shoot, 1190 01:17:45.840 --> 01:17:46.800 the PRS was like all right, this is off the record. Do 1191 01:17:46.880 --> 01:17:49.000 not mention this, like and I was. I was happy to say, 1192 01:17:49.039 --> 01:17:51.319 like, yeah, you know your information. Well, we're not dirt bags. 1193 01:17:51.319 --> 01:17:53.840 I'm not if if you say I can't say any about this, so 1194 01:17:53.840 --> 01:17:55.680 I'm gonna say anything about this. But I know that that's in there. 1195 01:17:55.720 --> 01:17:58.800 And did you just say something about that? As we came out afterwards and 1196 01:17:58.920 --> 01:18:01.119 said like yeah, right, you're clear to talk about mid few calls. 1197 01:18:03.159 --> 01:18:10.479 No, no crazy emotion stuff for it. Then huh no connects or they're 1198 01:18:10.520 --> 01:18:13.840 just making a game. Man. I've I've wanted to be into the ace 1199 01:18:13.920 --> 01:18:18.800 combat games for a while, but it's just the gameplay. Yeah, you 1200 01:18:18.880 --> 01:18:23.239 know, it's just the same stuff over and over again. Like and it's 1201 01:18:23.279 --> 01:18:25.880 because the story that I was like, man, you know I was here 1202 01:18:25.920 --> 01:18:28.880 from like you know, the people that were reviewing it, Like you know, 1203 01:18:28.960 --> 01:18:30.319 it's it's exactly what you would expect it to be, except the story's 1204 01:18:30.319 --> 01:18:33.199 crazy. It's like it's told from the perspective of a kid who's on the 1205 01:18:33.359 --> 01:18:38.119 other side. So it's like you're just seeing like this war torn country that 1206 01:18:38.319 --> 01:18:43.720 you're creating, and it's heavy, mind blowing, it's super heavy. It's 1207 01:18:43.720 --> 01:18:45.439 super and I'm like, man, that sounds great, except for the part 1208 01:18:45.520 --> 01:18:50.199 where it's just I've got tone fire rocket, I've got it again, fire 1209 01:18:50.199 --> 01:18:54.439 another rocket. Now there's the escort mission that I don't want to do and 1210 01:18:54.920 --> 01:18:57.439 turn it off. Well, we'll see if they actually pull it off. 1211 01:18:57.479 --> 01:19:00.279 But it seems like it seems like they are. They are actively true trying 1212 01:19:00.319 --> 01:19:03.319 to address issues of structure and kind of gameplay pacing for for this one. 1213 01:19:03.640 --> 01:19:05.720 You know, we didn't get to touch it, so I don't know how 1214 01:19:05.760 --> 01:19:12.000 it feels. But but there was that I had a shipload of like mobile 1215 01:19:12.039 --> 01:19:15.920 phone games and like iPad games that Racer on iPad, and I said, 1216 01:19:15.960 --> 01:19:17.640 I'm not gonna They've put that out a while ago. I said, I'm 1217 01:19:17.640 --> 01:19:20.520 not gonna. I'm not gonna test that new one or something. But then 1218 01:19:20.520 --> 01:19:25.640 they had that that other thing that we were not aware of, the Bridge 1219 01:19:25.720 --> 01:19:29.279 Racer Unbound till a couple of days later. Was that there. I guess 1220 01:19:29.279 --> 01:19:31.920 they show those same trailers that morning. Okay, yeah, all anybody, 1221 01:19:33.159 --> 01:19:35.520 yeah, all anybody has seen is that trailer? Yeah. That was also 1222 01:19:35.600 --> 01:19:39.279 the presentation where they said, hey, dark souls. Yeah, I kind 1223 01:19:39.279 --> 01:19:42.680 of wish i'd seen dark Souls. I'm feeling this weird compulsion to try that 1224 01:19:42.800 --> 01:19:45.279 game when it comes out. I don't know why not, because I'm gonna 1225 01:19:45.279 --> 01:19:48.279 make I'm gonna make my screw face at you. We should all try that 1226 01:19:48.319 --> 01:19:50.399 game when it comes out. I'll give it a shot. Yeah, I 1227 01:19:50.439 --> 01:19:56.000 have a long history of loving games that from Software makes exactly that's I don't 1228 01:19:56.000 --> 01:20:00.199 know if there's any question then I actually spent some time. I'm sorry, 1229 01:20:00.239 --> 01:20:06.720 I just finishing my post in the Endurance Run for submit you know what, 1230 01:20:06.960 --> 01:20:12.000 editing that part. We can't say Endurance Run on this as we're not talking 1231 01:20:12.000 --> 01:20:14.479 about that. I don't know how many times I send emails that just say 1232 01:20:14.640 --> 01:20:17.840 no in them. Do you respond to them? Yeah, well we get 1233 01:20:17.880 --> 01:20:20.159 them. We get them on the Bobcast constantly, and I just I want 1234 01:20:20.159 --> 01:20:24.359 to let them know no. Sorry, you were saying about your love. 1235 01:20:25.039 --> 01:20:28.319 What was I saying, you love from Software games? Yeah. So when 1236 01:20:28.359 --> 01:20:30.399 they announced all this stuff, I was talking to Will and I said, 1237 01:20:30.479 --> 01:20:33.520 yeah, like from Software right, and you know we're talking about Chromehounds and 1238 01:20:33.600 --> 01:20:36.199 some other stuff. I went and looked at the page of like, here's 1239 01:20:36.239 --> 01:20:40.119 the list of all the games from Software developed and ran ran down the list 1240 01:20:40.199 --> 01:20:43.279 the best I could come up with for my own personal like, yeah, 1241 01:20:43.359 --> 01:20:45.800 okay, it was three D dot game Hero. That's pretty good. It's 1242 01:20:45.920 --> 01:20:48.600 all right, come on, I thought you in Kingsfield went way back. 1243 01:20:48.760 --> 01:20:51.960 No, I mean yeah, like in a joking like fuck cakes Field, 1244 01:20:53.600 --> 01:20:57.960 Jesus, I didn't even know they were Chromehounds, was okay? I actually 1245 01:20:58.159 --> 01:21:01.079 really actively just like Chrome. Really. There are people that are crazy. 1246 01:21:01.640 --> 01:21:04.840 There are people that are crazy for Armored Core and there was the other part 1247 01:21:04.880 --> 01:21:08.840 of that announcement is they're not They're doing Dark Souls and they're gonna put Armored 1248 01:21:08.880 --> 01:21:14.680 Core five out here in twenty twelve, which that's not the style of met 1249 01:21:14.760 --> 01:21:17.159 game I want to play, and and and it's you know, maybe they'll 1250 01:21:17.279 --> 01:21:23.560 turn it around for me personally with these two games, but they don't have 1251 01:21:23.680 --> 01:21:27.159 to, Like I don't care. Those games don't need to be for me 1252 01:21:27.399 --> 01:21:30.000 for for the world to keep turning. If you want to play Armored Core 1253 01:21:30.159 --> 01:21:33.159 five, be my guests. I don't want anything to do with it. 1254 01:21:34.119 --> 01:21:38.359 Though some of the stuff like Commander Mode and all this stuff sounds potentially cool 1255 01:21:38.439 --> 01:21:43.880 for people that like that sort of thing, and probably if they're making something 1256 01:21:43.960 --> 01:21:47.640 that's a spiritual successor to Demon Souls unless they get the part where like the 1257 01:21:47.880 --> 01:21:53.960 gameplay is like kind of bad in like a deadly premonition sense. Maybe not 1258 01:21:54.079 --> 01:21:58.720 that rotten, but that's but like that's just unfair. It's kind of like 1259 01:21:58.880 --> 01:22:01.640 we're gonna look past there, We're gonna look past the kind of messed up 1260 01:22:01.640 --> 01:22:04.880 controls and just chalk it up to this game tar. Yeah, Like no, 1261 01:22:05.680 --> 01:22:10.800 well, like I still have to be like there's better ways to divine 1262 01:22:10.880 --> 01:22:14.800 your difficulty, yes, and I still have a thing for for Demon Souls 1263 01:22:14.840 --> 01:22:16.840 where I kind of still want to get back in there, but there is 1264 01:22:16.880 --> 01:22:21.479 some stuff you have to really kind of punishing and ugly, like that game 1265 01:22:21.640 --> 01:22:26.880 does you gotta give me something? Well, so you got to you gotta 1266 01:22:26.920 --> 01:22:29.479 give me something, But there are there are things in there that are really 1267 01:22:29.560 --> 01:22:33.800 novel and kind of unique and that Yeah, and I'm and when when people 1268 01:22:33.920 --> 01:22:36.279 talk about the game lovingly, like I look at that stuff and go, 1269 01:22:36.439 --> 01:22:42.439 yeah, that stuff sounds amazing. But for me personally, like I'm never 1270 01:22:42.520 --> 01:22:45.760 going to get past the hurdles of like the gameplay and right, and it's 1271 01:22:45.800 --> 01:22:49.199 not necessarily about like the difficulty, it's about the it does not control very 1272 01:22:49.239 --> 01:22:53.199 well. It's like what you're doing in it, which which I'm hoping you 1273 01:22:53.279 --> 01:22:56.920 know, they address in this and do some novel things. There's a lot 1274 01:22:56.960 --> 01:23:00.640 of very curious there's a lot of repetition and sort of pattern midmization involved too, 1275 01:23:00.760 --> 01:23:03.199 right, like learning when to expect things to happen, and like being 1276 01:23:03.239 --> 01:23:06.359 ready for because there's like a lot of I mean that this is my impression 1277 01:23:06.439 --> 01:23:09.680 having not played it for me. For me, it was it was like 1278 01:23:09.760 --> 01:23:12.359 you get one shot and stuff, right. It was more of just kind 1279 01:23:12.359 --> 01:23:15.920 of not really knowing what to do, like very little guidance in a very 1280 01:23:15.079 --> 01:23:21.039 complicated kind of combat system. Okay, that's from software kind that is that 1281 01:23:21.199 --> 01:23:26.199 is like that that typifies anything that they've ever put out as far as I 1282 01:23:26.239 --> 01:23:29.880 can tell. And the people that love it this field that that's it right 1283 01:23:29.880 --> 01:23:32.800 there. I think they rewarding where they're just like I got it, like 1284 01:23:32.920 --> 01:23:36.319 I've mastered it, and like I get it all. But getting to that 1285 01:23:36.399 --> 01:23:41.000 point can be you know, just the patients involved. Getting to that point 1286 01:23:41.039 --> 01:23:45.479 can be really testing chromemounds. I just was like there were people there, 1287 01:23:45.600 --> 01:23:47.960 there are people that love that still talk about chromemouns I can't play it anymore, 1288 01:23:48.039 --> 01:23:51.920 right, And I just didn't understand, like, I didn't understand why 1289 01:23:51.920 --> 01:23:56.840 you had to run for like twenty minutes to get back into a flame yel 1290 01:23:57.840 --> 01:24:01.359 because that's what Steel Battalion did. I don't know. It's yeah, anyway, 1291 01:24:01.720 --> 01:24:04.079 I'm with you. Let's go all right, I'll give it a shot. 1292 01:24:04.199 --> 01:24:09.760 Ridge Racer Unbounded is being made by Bugbear the Flat Out Guys, and 1293 01:24:09.800 --> 01:24:15.359 it basically looks like like, well, the trailer shows nothing right other than 1294 01:24:15.560 --> 01:24:17.760 no, there's a lot in that trailer other than nothing about the game. 1295 01:24:17.800 --> 01:24:20.600 Here is Ridge Racer Girls. She gets in, she gets out of one 1296 01:24:20.720 --> 01:24:26.039 super hot car and gets into another super hot car, and then drives it 1297 01:24:26.079 --> 01:24:29.119 down an alley, slams it in the side of a taxi. T bones 1298 01:24:29.159 --> 01:24:32.600 attacksbones attacks, serving to avoid it just just goes straight. And then there's 1299 01:24:32.600 --> 01:24:35.520 a slum shot of the taxi flying up in the air and flipping it over 1300 01:24:35.680 --> 01:24:39.720 end while you drive under it. That's some muscle car man, And then 1301 01:24:39.760 --> 01:24:44.479 it works right cars just so Yeah, I'm getting a real kind of burnouty, 1302 01:24:44.920 --> 01:24:47.960 I'm getting real flat out. Yeah, I guess I guess that's that's 1303 01:24:48.159 --> 01:24:53.239 probably more and the font reminds me of need for speed underground man a lot. 1304 01:24:53.399 --> 01:24:58.159 Oh my god, that's why it's unbounded, because it's a logo bround, 1305 01:24:58.520 --> 01:25:01.760 like it's a lot of this game letters. So maybe people see it 1306 01:25:01.880 --> 01:25:04.920 and go, this is kind of it's kind of nuts the first time I 1307 01:25:05.000 --> 01:25:09.359 saw that, because you had you had mentioned something before that, holy shit, 1308 01:25:10.159 --> 01:25:15.800 unbounded is not even that's a terrible terrible does that even me terrible name? 1309 01:25:15.880 --> 01:25:18.760 It's just unbounded. You would say it's unbounded. It's been unbound, 1310 01:25:19.119 --> 01:25:28.239 not that it's been unbounded, unbounded did most unbounded? But but yet, 1311 01:25:28.479 --> 01:25:30.680 and so this is you know, this is blasphemy. This is a blight 1312 01:25:30.800 --> 01:25:34.600 upon all that is Ridge Racers. So I wanted so forth. Uh yet 1313 01:25:34.680 --> 01:25:39.520 I can't help but be interested because Ridge Racer has just become so wrote and 1314 01:25:39.720 --> 01:25:44.039 just like it's completely stagnant to the point where like the best they can offer 1315 01:25:44.159 --> 01:25:48.960 is like it'll feature machines and tracks from machines and courses from previous games in 1316 01:25:48.960 --> 01:25:51.319 the Ridge Racer franchises, Like yes, so do all the other ones. 1317 01:25:51.399 --> 01:25:55.840 Yeah, nice going, guys, all you guys do the only thing they've 1318 01:25:55.880 --> 01:25:58.479 done to Ridge Racer over the years. Was our four when they came with 1319 01:25:58.520 --> 01:26:00.960 a jog Con and that was pretty sweet. John was dope. And then 1320 01:26:01.000 --> 01:26:04.119 they added turbo when they put it on the PSP, and then that was 1321 01:26:04.159 --> 01:26:08.680 in like Ridge Racer six and seven. Wow, there's been that many. 1322 01:26:08.800 --> 01:26:12.319 I didn't even know that. Yeah, yeah, so yeah, I know, 1323 01:26:12.399 --> 01:26:15.279 I agree entirely. I think that. So they have to, you 1324 01:26:15.319 --> 01:26:17.039 know, and it's nice that they're at least trying to do something though this 1325 01:26:17.239 --> 01:26:21.800 is ridiculous. This is but isn't Ridge Racer. I mean, this is 1326 01:26:21.840 --> 01:26:25.880 not the kind of ridiculous that Ridge Racer has been. But it's not like 1327 01:26:26.119 --> 01:26:30.039 there's this like a serious pedigree for the series. It's crazy cars doing crazy 1328 01:26:30.119 --> 01:26:32.920 things. Well, there's Ridge Racer has a fan base, but you know, 1329 01:26:33.279 --> 01:26:35.760 it's probably not big enough to matter. If I had to guess, 1330 01:26:35.920 --> 01:26:42.000 yeah, so why not take some chances with it? Obviously, you know, 1331 01:26:42.439 --> 01:26:45.600 they had to have known going in that, putting that trailer out and 1332 01:26:45.720 --> 01:26:47.920 saying what they said about that game was not going to do them any favors 1333 01:26:48.000 --> 01:26:50.920 with the handful of people that still hold Ridge Racer deer. But for them, 1334 01:26:50.960 --> 01:26:55.239 there's Ridge Racer in the three DS, and you know, I'm sure 1335 01:26:55.279 --> 01:26:58.479 they'll make normal. I just yeah, I don't. I don't think this, 1336 01:27:00.199 --> 01:27:02.720 Yeah, this doesn't cancel out any other regular Well, it's like the 1337 01:27:02.800 --> 01:27:08.239 last time Namco did something crazy with racing. They put out that R Racing 1338 01:27:08.279 --> 01:27:12.239 Evolution in like two thousand and three or something, and it was like a 1339 01:27:12.319 --> 01:27:15.960 simulation style it was. It was closer to a simulation was that four. 1340 01:27:15.199 --> 01:27:21.399 It was the Xbox and PS two and maybe a GameCube R colon remember Racing 1341 01:27:21.399 --> 01:27:25.960 Evolution, and it was not a good game. And I remember at the 1342 01:27:25.960 --> 01:27:28.880 time thinking like, oh, this is gonna be like the big Ridge Racer 1343 01:27:28.920 --> 01:27:31.079 reboot. And I have to imagine at some point they were thinking about calling 1344 01:27:31.119 --> 01:27:35.880 it something that tied it a little more closely to Ridge Racer, though are 1345 01:27:36.199 --> 01:27:41.319 considered Racing R four That's what I said. I thought you said Revolution. 1346 01:27:41.479 --> 01:27:45.680 No, no, because there's Ridge Racer Revolution. That wouldn't be good. 1347 01:27:45.720 --> 01:27:47.520 Point. Well, whatever, the cover of this looks like a Ridge Racing 1348 01:27:47.600 --> 01:27:50.039 game kind of does it kind of does so at some point that probably was 1349 01:27:50.159 --> 01:27:55.159 a Ridge Racer game, and they held back, like even with like Japanese 1350 01:27:55.199 --> 01:27:59.039 Computer Girl in racing outfits, it's even her, I think, isn't it 1351 01:27:59.119 --> 01:28:03.159 isn't it actually anyway? Whatever, whatever, So it's nice that they're trying 1352 01:28:03.239 --> 01:28:08.439 something like at least, you know, let's let's hold out like obviously it's 1353 01:28:08.479 --> 01:28:12.800 not gonna be the Ridge Racer game that that every other Ridge Racer game has 1354 01:28:12.840 --> 01:28:15.560 been. But every other Ridge Racer game has been that game. They've got, 1355 01:28:15.640 --> 01:28:18.439 They've covered you, they've taken care of you. Yeah. Exclusive, 1356 01:28:18.760 --> 01:28:21.760 they just keep rereleasing games with old courses and stuff in it, like, 1357 01:28:23.720 --> 01:28:27.399 yeah, who cares, give it a shot? Yeah, do something, 1358 01:28:27.479 --> 01:28:30.359 Let's see what happens. That's and that totally my feeling on on that end. 1359 01:28:30.479 --> 01:28:34.960 Uh, and that I think is Namco. Uh that's a rep now 1360 01:28:35.039 --> 01:28:41.640 band I Yeah they got Power Rangers. Yeah, yeah, they're band E. 1361 01:28:41.760 --> 01:28:46.000 That's the apparently apparently the Power Rangers were there. Why so we lose 1362 01:28:46.800 --> 01:28:51.600 Jailer. Yeah, we didn't see Joey that day. Unfortunately, was Amy 1363 01:28:51.680 --> 01:28:58.119 Joe Johnson there, Yeah, but in costume so she could fuck that's just 1364 01:28:58.239 --> 01:29:02.319 Joey. I gotta wait going, it's kind of thing. I'll be write 1365 01:29:02.319 --> 01:29:11.000 back twenty minutes. Oh all right, so there's that. I'll let you 1366 01:29:11.039 --> 01:29:14.680 get to yours okay, oh wait, no, you go with yours? 1367 01:29:14.800 --> 01:29:16.159 You go ahead? Who's what now? Your next? Man, I don't 1368 01:29:16.159 --> 01:29:19.000 even know what we're talking about. Go ahead, dragon Age, go ahead? 1369 01:29:19.079 --> 01:29:21.960 We talking about dragon Age. Go ahead? Yeah, you guys went 1370 01:29:23.039 --> 01:29:26.680 and saw Dragon Age two, Dragon Age origins to go ahead? Yes, 1371 01:29:28.319 --> 01:29:32.880 okay, go ahead, turn down at your radio. I played here. 1372 01:29:34.000 --> 01:29:38.800 You played some of that, y Yeah, I played go Ahead three separate 1373 01:29:38.840 --> 01:29:44.960 sections. I kind of feel like I know more what the game is gonna 1374 01:29:44.960 --> 01:29:46.359 be like now, the not totally. I mean, it's hard to make 1375 01:29:46.399 --> 01:29:50.760 a judgment because so they what version were you playing? I played Xbox I. 1376 01:29:53.279 --> 01:29:55.560 If it was entirely up to me, if I had my druthers, 1377 01:29:55.960 --> 01:29:58.119 I probably would have played it on the PC, just because I feel like 1378 01:29:58.199 --> 01:30:01.479 that is where the big that question mark is on this game, Like it's 1379 01:30:01.560 --> 01:30:04.800 still gonna be a PC focused game. Is it gonna because they already said, 1380 01:30:04.800 --> 01:30:08.000 like, you can't pull the camera as far out, you can't make 1381 01:30:08.039 --> 01:30:13.600 it an Infinity Engine game basically yea, but just the technical nature of pulling 1382 01:30:13.640 --> 01:30:17.560 footage, like getting direct feed from an Xbox is easier, So so we 1383 01:30:17.640 --> 01:30:23.680 went with that. It was really funny before the event one of their pr 1384 01:30:23.760 --> 01:30:26.880 people was I aming me asking what kind of character we wanted for the event. 1385 01:30:27.640 --> 01:30:30.000 They were like, what gender do you want? It was like a 1386 01:30:30.479 --> 01:30:32.159 female? Did they have your character? And I was like, why don't 1387 01:30:32.159 --> 01:30:34.920 you make her brunette? No, actually we ended up just using like a 1388 01:30:34.920 --> 01:30:40.319 stock awesome that. I guess that's tough. Actually, I told him, 1389 01:30:40.319 --> 01:30:43.439 I told him if we actually didn't give a shit, so we just played 1390 01:30:43.479 --> 01:30:45.319 it like a stock male warrior. But but they had. The point is 1391 01:30:45.399 --> 01:30:49.079 they had three different saves at three different, like very distinctly different parts of 1392 01:30:49.079 --> 01:30:53.840 the game, and it was like probably ten to twenty minutes of content per 1393 01:30:53.960 --> 01:30:58.000 save, so kind of hard to get like a broad picture of how everything's 1394 01:30:58.000 --> 01:31:04.159 gonna fit together exactly. But three different areas that I played in seemed very 1395 01:31:04.279 --> 01:31:10.319 mass effect esque in like in the sense that it was like really directed, 1396 01:31:10.439 --> 01:31:14.960 like sort of everything was fun funneling you in one direction, definitely from the 1397 01:31:15.119 --> 01:31:18.800 from when I saw it a while ago, and very narrow path consistent with 1398 01:31:18.880 --> 01:31:23.640 your experience. I didn't I never seen sadly never got around to play in 1399 01:31:23.720 --> 01:31:27.399 DAO, so I don't know if it's similar. I assume that was a 1400 01:31:27.439 --> 01:31:30.840 lot more kind of it was a lot more hitting the map and like all 1401 01:31:30.920 --> 01:31:33.640 these passages that kind of spider off into different dead ends or something. But 1402 01:31:33.680 --> 01:31:36.159 I mean, for all I know, these were all like specific little dungeony 1403 01:31:36.279 --> 01:31:40.680 areas that kind of spawn off a big math. It was really very tough 1404 01:31:40.720 --> 01:31:43.039 to get kind of the bigger picture of what was going on. I do 1405 01:31:43.199 --> 01:31:45.920 know you never made it to the second floor. You never saw the like 1406 01:31:46.000 --> 01:31:48.520 the city stuff they were showing. I think you were upstairs the whole time. 1407 01:31:48.560 --> 01:31:51.680 I think that part of the city stuff. They're like, you're some 1408 01:31:51.800 --> 01:31:56.439 city that you're in. I don't know the name of it though, probably 1409 01:31:56.960 --> 01:32:00.479 all just yeah, okay, they're like different districts to the city. It 1410 01:32:00.640 --> 01:32:03.239 was like, you know, there's a old town and stuff like that. 1411 01:32:03.399 --> 01:32:06.319 But so like when you would exit one of those, you would just kill 1412 01:32:06.439 --> 01:32:10.680 rats, all right, go to the basement. Like when you would exit 1413 01:32:10.760 --> 01:32:13.319 one area, you would get like a big sort of like static map with 1414 01:32:13.479 --> 01:32:15.279 just icons of other areas and you just like pick an icon and kind of 1415 01:32:15.319 --> 01:32:17.720 warped to it. Is that similar, Yeah, okay, so that sounds 1416 01:32:17.760 --> 01:32:24.000 kind of the same. Just such a mass effect vibe from like the UI 1417 01:32:24.279 --> 01:32:28.319 and then the menus stuff like well, I mean the first Origins used you 1418 01:32:28.359 --> 01:32:30.960 know, radial menus. Yeah, but this is the influence is much heavier 1419 01:32:31.039 --> 01:32:36.199 here, Like they've got the straight up the conversation wheel. Uh. It's 1420 01:32:36.239 --> 01:32:40.560 so similar that when you're talking to a guy and you've moved into okay, 1421 01:32:40.600 --> 01:32:43.840 I can keep talking to him, or I can move on. It's investigate 1422 01:32:43.920 --> 01:32:46.359 on the left or let's get a move on on the right. Basically like 1423 01:32:46.520 --> 01:32:49.760 just exactly the same. Yeah, like when you hit that in and of 1424 01:32:49.760 --> 01:32:51.960 itself, it is not necessarily bad. It's not a bad thing. I'm 1425 01:32:51.960 --> 01:32:56.560 just saying they have taken some really specific cues from the other big game that 1426 01:32:56.720 --> 01:33:00.479 The Byway is doing. Uh. So it was interesting to see for me 1427 01:33:00.560 --> 01:33:03.000 to see the console version because having played it through on the PC. Uh, 1428 01:33:03.239 --> 01:33:08.560 the UI looks completely different on the three sixty. Everything is is mapped, 1429 01:33:09.479 --> 01:33:13.119 h what seems like. But again again that was true in origins. 1430 01:33:13.159 --> 01:33:15.560 I played both versions and they were wildly different, right, So it's really 1431 01:33:15.640 --> 01:33:20.880 interesting to see kind of going down on the three sixty. It seems intelligently 1432 01:33:21.000 --> 01:33:25.399 kind of mapped onto the control as best you can, I guess. Yeah, 1433 01:33:25.439 --> 01:33:27.640 for a lot of that stuff where you we do have to dig in 1434 01:33:27.720 --> 01:33:30.880 a little deeper to get to your spells at points. I mean, the 1435 01:33:30.920 --> 01:33:33.439 way it works. I don't know if this is probably similar to the first 1436 01:33:33.439 --> 01:33:38.640 one, but you've got so A is just attack. It's just like hammer 1437 01:33:38.680 --> 01:33:42.279 on the A button and you're going to swing whatever you're holding. The other 1438 01:33:42.319 --> 01:33:45.079 three face buttons are map two specific abilities, and you hold a trigger to 1439 01:33:45.239 --> 01:33:47.399 like change those to another set, which I think is basically how they had 1440 01:33:47.439 --> 01:33:50.039 it set up. Sounds about sounds about the same. And then you did 1441 01:33:50.079 --> 01:33:53.720 you do the whole like palsy action and pull up a big wheel if you 1442 01:33:53.720 --> 01:33:57.520 want to get all the rest of you Yes, totally. But here here's 1443 01:33:57.560 --> 01:34:00.680 where it seemed interesting to me, and just watching you play, it seemed 1444 01:34:00.680 --> 01:34:04.199 like the actions as you were doing them were like you'd hit one of your 1445 01:34:04.279 --> 01:34:09.560 spells and you'd immediately jump into some kind of combat thing. That seemed a 1446 01:34:09.600 --> 01:34:14.000 lot more like as you hit it, yeah you're rolling in or or you 1447 01:34:14.079 --> 01:34:15.600 know. I mean, I think that's probably where you would feel the mass 1448 01:34:15.640 --> 01:34:19.479 effect influence the most. Is like one of their big pushes with this game 1449 01:34:19.600 --> 01:34:24.560 is we want the action to feel more like action. It feels very immediate. 1450 01:34:24.920 --> 01:34:28.520 We want to not beat feel as much like D and D dice rolls. 1451 01:34:28.600 --> 01:34:30.880 It's the first game Red, like the Fighter I was playing or the 1452 01:34:30.920 --> 01:34:34.359 Warrior had like a charge move, and like you would want to actively like 1453 01:34:34.439 --> 01:34:36.880 a line as many guys up as you could before you could use that just 1454 01:34:38.119 --> 01:34:40.960 to get the maximum damage, and so and so. The parts that I 1455 01:34:41.039 --> 01:34:44.399 think speak to some of that are the first boss battle that you were playing. 1456 01:34:45.119 --> 01:34:46.439 It wasn't really the boss battle, but the first big encounter you got 1457 01:34:46.520 --> 01:34:50.520 into that we saw where you were just actively dodging the dude's moves, like 1458 01:34:50.600 --> 01:34:54.439 you're rolling out of the way and it would charge you, yeah, and 1459 01:34:55.159 --> 01:34:58.199 you're trying to position yourself behind him and get in there. And then there 1460 01:34:58.279 --> 01:35:01.279 was another fight where you were actual hiding behind pillars to avoid attacks. You 1461 01:35:01.319 --> 01:35:03.680 fight this big sort of like rock demon thing that like once in a while, 1462 01:35:03.680 --> 01:35:05.680 I'll get in the middle of this. You're in this like the crypt 1463 01:35:05.760 --> 01:35:10.000 area within the pillars, and he'll like rise up in the air and kind 1464 01:35:10.039 --> 01:35:13.319 of charge up, and like the immediate visual que is I need to get 1465 01:35:13.319 --> 01:35:15.079 the fuck out of the way, So you run over behind the pillar and 1466 01:35:15.079 --> 01:35:19.319 then he just like starts emitting all this energy that flies everywhere except like directly 1467 01:35:19.399 --> 01:35:23.920 behind those pillars. So there's definitely some like timing elements and a lot of 1468 01:35:24.000 --> 01:35:27.000 kind of positioning yourself properly and stuff like. Yeah, and so I did 1469 01:35:27.079 --> 01:35:29.640 see some of the PC stuff. I was watching some other people play the 1470 01:35:29.680 --> 01:35:33.359 PC stuff, and it seemed to play very similar to the original Dragon Age 1471 01:35:33.359 --> 01:35:36.159 where you're just kind of pausing queuing up and you have you have your bar 1472 01:35:36.239 --> 01:35:39.800 on the bar. It definitely has the big fat icon bar with like zillion 1473 01:35:40.119 --> 01:35:42.720 icons on it. I thought, look, it's good. I actually I 1474 01:35:42.880 --> 01:35:45.000 was coming in with lower expectations that I left with, and uh, I 1475 01:35:45.119 --> 01:35:49.119 was kind of excited to see that I am back on the Dragon Age. 1476 01:35:50.079 --> 01:35:53.720 Go Go Go train. You did like one one hundred hours in the first 1477 01:35:53.760 --> 01:35:57.680 one or something I did and then lost I lost my save for Awakening and 1478 01:35:58.159 --> 01:36:01.359 I never never got to finish that. Now I do how do you? 1479 01:36:01.439 --> 01:36:04.279 How do you feel about this kind of I feel like there's the other big 1480 01:36:04.359 --> 01:36:10.479 thing is this is not just a direct continuation of the first game. It's 1481 01:36:10.520 --> 01:36:14.239 not just like Shepherd's back and better than ever, this could have nothing to 1482 01:36:14.319 --> 01:36:16.119 do with your original character if you don't want it to How do you feel 1483 01:36:16.119 --> 01:36:19.640 about that? Uh, well, that you can have it, you know, 1484 01:36:20.239 --> 01:36:25.840 if you want to put still the import or whatever. When you import 1485 01:36:25.920 --> 01:36:30.680 you play as a character Yead. In fact, Yeah, what they've said 1486 01:36:30.760 --> 01:36:33.239 is I think it's just the more like the decisions or the things that happened 1487 01:36:33.239 --> 01:36:36.000 with the broader implications or the things that will show up, which are probably 1488 01:36:36.079 --> 01:36:41.119 just kind of like, you know, three lines here or there, queen, 1489 01:36:42.960 --> 01:36:45.880 Yeah, what not practically, oh much. I'm into being a lot 1490 01:36:46.119 --> 01:36:51.600 thinks here's my space dream. So yeah, it's probably just that me personally, 1491 01:36:51.720 --> 01:36:57.199 there's a there There are too many ways that game ended to make that. 1492 01:36:57.439 --> 01:36:59.680 They already did weird things in Awakening, which we were just like, 1493 01:36:59.800 --> 01:37:02.079 you can't do that, Like, that's not how it's totally well that that's 1494 01:37:02.079 --> 01:37:05.039 how it happened, so okay, fine, And so in order to do 1495 01:37:05.159 --> 01:37:10.039 that, it would have been really weird. So it doesn't bother me that 1496 01:37:10.159 --> 01:37:14.399 much. I'll go to my mass Effect three for that. And would it 1497 01:37:14.520 --> 01:37:17.680 bother you if this turned out to be the same universe as Mass Effects just 1498 01:37:18.760 --> 01:37:23.720 hundreds, if thousands of years prior. Well, it's already obviously the same 1499 01:37:23.840 --> 01:37:29.079 universe as Dead Space. Yeah right, because I want to say someone at 1500 01:37:29.359 --> 01:37:32.960 BioWare already said now okay to that idea. Well, when you open the 1501 01:37:33.000 --> 01:37:36.039 portal and they right come through, right, I mean that's the end of 1502 01:37:36.079 --> 01:37:40.439 mass Fact. Then it pops up a big splash screen and it's like, 1503 01:37:40.560 --> 01:37:42.600 hey, by massact me, it doesn't have to be the same universe, 1504 01:37:42.720 --> 01:37:45.920 right three versus mass Effects. They opened up this portal and then these Jedi 1505 01:37:46.199 --> 01:37:53.159 come falling out. What and the Jedi love those guys for playing the demo. 1506 01:37:53.439 --> 01:37:58.560 Check out three play Nights. Please the Old Republic come, come and 1507 01:37:58.640 --> 01:38:02.239 play the Old Republic for no. We need to know, like everyone, 1508 01:38:03.119 --> 01:38:08.880 tell people, all you fuckers, tell everyone you know Star Wars. Sign 1509 01:38:08.960 --> 01:38:12.159 your hours though there's another one, don't get that one. Sign your pets 1510 01:38:12.279 --> 01:38:15.079 up for it free free thirty days, free, three days for all pets. 1511 01:38:15.079 --> 01:38:17.760 Goldfish, saw your pet up, we give you a free pet. 1512 01:38:18.840 --> 01:38:23.600 Great, think about that. I'm on board. I liked what I saw. 1513 01:38:23.720 --> 01:38:27.600 Yeah, it seems cool. The combat was pretty pretty fun. It 1514 01:38:27.720 --> 01:38:30.159 seemed a lot to move, just a lot faster, which will make a 1515 01:38:30.199 --> 01:38:33.479 lot of people. I know a lot of people who were just like I 1516 01:38:33.640 --> 01:38:36.840 just don't want to start that ball rolling because I just don't want to put 1517 01:38:36.920 --> 01:38:41.920 eighty hours into a game. And it could the dragon Age Origin stuff. 1518 01:38:42.479 --> 01:38:45.920 Yeah, dragon Age Origins could drag. They're just parts where you're just like 1519 01:38:45.399 --> 01:38:49.399 cleaning out dungeons and drag. And this was like the part you played were 1520 01:38:49.439 --> 01:38:53.680 just like here's the start over, like almost an instance, start this instance 1521 01:38:53.760 --> 01:38:56.039 and like go and within ten minutes you were up to a big fight. 1522 01:38:56.119 --> 01:39:00.359 Sure, it just didn't have that storyline. Now was that part of everyone's 1523 01:39:00.359 --> 01:39:01.560 experience with dragon Age or is that you just going on, I'm going to 1524 01:39:01.600 --> 01:39:04.199 clear out this dungeon. Well, like I said, there are a lot 1525 01:39:04.279 --> 01:39:06.840 of like do I go down this path? And am I good on this 1526 01:39:06.920 --> 01:39:10.520 path? At dead end? But it's probably a lot of mine. They 1527 01:39:10.600 --> 01:39:14.920 claim there is as much or more optional content as the first one. Also, 1528 01:39:15.399 --> 01:39:16.920 I don't know if this was a big deal for you, but with 1529 01:39:17.119 --> 01:39:23.079 your with your party now you might get an option to a dialogue option within 1530 01:39:23.199 --> 01:39:26.960 the tree to talk to one of your party members who might know a little 1531 01:39:27.000 --> 01:39:30.119 bit more about something you're talking about, whereas in dragon Age Origins they would 1532 01:39:30.119 --> 01:39:32.279 just chime in if you had the right party member with you. They'd be 1533 01:39:32.399 --> 01:39:34.960 like, well, I'm a wizard and that looks fucked up. And now 1534 01:39:35.039 --> 01:39:39.039 you could be like, hey, we're talking to all these wizards. You're 1535 01:39:39.039 --> 01:39:42.199 a wizard. Why don't you handle this and chime in on this conversation? 1536 01:39:42.279 --> 01:39:45.840 Tree. I would buy a T shirt that says I'm a wizard and that 1537 01:39:45.000 --> 01:39:59.279 looks fucked well, you should subscribe Whiskey Media Freemium memberships side up today because 1538 01:40:00.000 --> 01:40:03.119 you're I'm a wizard. I'm a wizard and that wizard and that looks fucked 1539 01:40:03.319 --> 01:40:09.079 up? Why why should I care for you have to say about this? 1540 01:40:09.560 --> 01:40:14.079 Look, guys, I'm a wizard whoa okay? And that looks I just 1541 01:40:14.199 --> 01:40:16.840 want to say I didn't know going into this. Yeah, I didn't know 1542 01:40:16.880 --> 01:40:20.079 you were a Wizard's cool? I should not. I should have figured that 1543 01:40:20.079 --> 01:40:21.680 out. Well, it's like, you know, it's either I'm doing this 1544 01:40:21.800 --> 01:40:25.399 or I'm going heading to the Jamiric Whi concert and I get the Jameric Qui 1545 01:40:25.439 --> 01:40:29.079 concert. Things. Yeah, I mean I just assume JIC. So so 1546 01:40:29.159 --> 01:40:31.319 I apologize I didn't know your a wizard. I thank you for clarifying that 1547 01:40:32.000 --> 01:40:36.520 obviously that it has driving me virtually insane, all the people saying that I 1548 01:40:36.680 --> 01:40:44.560 am into jam it's dragging the two was pretty good God to interview. We 1549 01:40:44.600 --> 01:40:47.319 definitely have any content that's up on the side, video content. We hope 1550 01:40:47.560 --> 01:40:50.600 video out there. You should. You should watch it if it's there, 1551 01:40:51.239 --> 01:40:56.880 if not, trying to picture if it's still there. Yeah, we'll see 1552 01:40:57.000 --> 01:40:59.920 looking forward to see come out. I guess the character stuff is the only 1553 01:41:00.000 --> 01:41:01.880 only thing that kind of bugs me out a little bit with like it's you 1554 01:41:02.000 --> 01:41:04.439 play as, you play as guy or a girl, right, yes, 1555 01:41:05.319 --> 01:41:09.680 yeah, and it's not like no more origin stories. I guess we're not 1556 01:41:09.720 --> 01:41:12.439 in origin anymore. But that was some of my favorite stuff from that well, 1557 01:41:12.920 --> 01:41:15.640 I mean, mass Effect, you are Shepherd, but you still get 1558 01:41:15.640 --> 01:41:17.399 to pick an origin story. I mean yeah, but like not like in 1559 01:41:17.479 --> 01:41:20.640 Dragon Age. You're talking about it. You're talking about like yeah, like 1560 01:41:20.720 --> 01:41:27.119 the opening of Dragon Age. Yeah, you're like I'm a I'm a dwarf 1561 01:41:27.159 --> 01:41:30.319 and prince or like I'm an Elvish. Yeah. I mean, actually, 1562 01:41:30.039 --> 01:41:32.319 come to think of it, me and you have both played through the intro 1563 01:41:32.399 --> 01:41:36.520 of that game with different characters, and it's exactly the same because remember they 1564 01:41:36.560 --> 01:41:41.840 brought it by here and you play. Yeah, I just wondered, like 1565 01:41:41.880 --> 01:41:44.880 the way that they're showing this game off, I wonder if they got the 1566 01:41:44.960 --> 01:41:48.399 feedback of when they were showing the first game off that, like all this 1567 01:41:48.399 --> 01:41:53.119 shit just looks totally overwhelming, like because they showed when whenever they showed the 1568 01:41:53.199 --> 01:41:57.439 first Dragon Age, uh, like, they would always emphasize like you can 1569 01:41:57.479 --> 01:42:00.680 make a billion different decisions with eighty five party members and everything can be fucking 1570 01:42:00.760 --> 01:42:05.279 completely crazy in a complex, old school RPG kind of way. And for 1571 01:42:05.319 --> 01:42:08.800 a certain you know, part of the audience people like, fuck, yeah, 1572 01:42:09.119 --> 01:42:11.840 remember when we went to that event in La Yeah, and they're showing 1573 01:42:11.840 --> 01:42:14.359 the PC version. Yeah, They're like, no one's beat this. They're 1574 01:42:14.359 --> 01:42:15.079 like, hey, hey, we gotta say for you wants to try it, 1575 01:42:15.199 --> 01:42:17.920 you know, and then and then you obviously are gonna wipe on it. 1576 01:42:18.039 --> 01:42:19.279 And they were like, oh, yeah, by the way, this 1577 01:42:19.359 --> 01:42:23.239 one of the hardest bosses game nobody today has beaten that. I'm like, 1578 01:42:23.279 --> 01:42:25.760 oh, also, I haven't played it for the sixty hours that would have 1579 01:42:25.800 --> 01:42:28.119 gotten me up to this point, so I don't know. I don't have 1580 01:42:28.199 --> 01:42:31.479 the intricacies of my party down and I didn't set the reading the tooltip on 1581 01:42:31.640 --> 01:42:33.840 every one of the twenty spells on my balls. So I mean that was 1582 01:42:33.840 --> 01:42:35.920 always the problem with them showing off the first game was you'd be like, 1583 01:42:36.000 --> 01:42:39.600 Okay, well this seems cool. If I had played the twenty hours up 1584 01:42:39.640 --> 01:42:42.319 to this point, I bet this is awesome. But since I haven't, 1585 01:42:42.760 --> 01:42:45.159 like, I can't really get anything meaningful out of this hands on time because 1586 01:42:45.239 --> 01:42:48.960 it's it's too much to just sit down and be like, all right, 1587 01:42:48.960 --> 01:42:53.640 I'm suddenly playing dragon Age and this is so I feel like they're being very 1588 01:42:53.720 --> 01:42:59.640 deliberate with two of showing more isolated, more controlled, you know, easier 1589 01:42:59.680 --> 01:43:01.640 to stand. I think it also works out because they do have a first 1590 01:43:01.720 --> 01:43:04.399 game out that's true that they can kind of say, well, you know, 1591 01:43:04.479 --> 01:43:06.359 in the first game, we had this, this game, we're doing 1592 01:43:06.399 --> 01:43:09.720 this, so there's at least that point of comparisons. But I think that 1593 01:43:09.760 --> 01:43:13.920 that's fostering the concern that they are just dumbing it down hell out of this, 1594 01:43:14.279 --> 01:43:17.279 which sounds like maybe they're not. Maybe they're not, at least not 1595 01:43:17.439 --> 01:43:20.199 as much as some people are worried. The skull trees and stuff are still 1596 01:43:20.199 --> 01:43:24.319 a yeah, yeah, so I should say as much as some parts of 1597 01:43:24.319 --> 01:43:26.800 the U I feel like mass Effect. And another part that's really weird is 1598 01:43:26.800 --> 01:43:29.760 when you pause it, you get start, you get that exact same like 1599 01:43:29.920 --> 01:43:31.840 radial menu with basically the same options as Mass Effect. I think that was 1600 01:43:31.920 --> 01:43:34.279 in the that was in the origins as well. Yeah, I mean maybe 1601 01:43:34.319 --> 01:43:38.720 that's just stared, but it just a lot of this stuff feels really reminiscent. 1602 01:43:38.760 --> 01:43:41.600 But anyway, like with Mass Effect too, like the kind of some 1603 01:43:41.640 --> 01:43:45.119 of their solutions for the more convoluted gameplay systems were to reduce them almost out 1604 01:43:45.159 --> 01:43:47.520 of existence, you know, like the inventory and stuff. Yeah, like 1605 01:43:47.600 --> 01:43:51.720 this definitely still has a big fat list of swords and armor and stuff that 1606 01:43:51.760 --> 01:43:55.279 you can turn on and off. We're about torches. Do I need to 1607 01:43:55.319 --> 01:44:01.319 have torches to lightweight like a path much? But the hate being somewhere and 1608 01:44:01.359 --> 01:44:04.680 then it gets dark and we got no torch. But also the sucks the 1609 01:44:04.760 --> 01:44:08.239 skill stuff in particular, like you know, the class is mass fact. 1610 01:44:08.279 --> 01:44:13.159 It's like every class has four skills and upgrade them more, don't But the 1611 01:44:13.560 --> 01:44:17.760 fighter alone, there were like six different disciplines with probably six to eight skills 1612 01:44:17.840 --> 01:44:23.520 per one of the tech trees. Torch, Yeah, I hate flame hands 1613 01:44:23.640 --> 01:44:30.640 one of them is infinite blow jobs. I'm gonna mind Max just just that's 1614 01:44:30.760 --> 01:44:31.880 that's my preference, is the rumor, right, that's kind of dug. 1615 01:44:31.920 --> 01:44:34.399 The art style, I like it. I don't know, it looks like 1616 01:44:34.520 --> 01:44:38.399 Dragon Age. It's I feel like they got more personality. It's a little 1617 01:44:38.600 --> 01:44:42.079 more comical. It's a little more like swords are huge and like it's more 1618 01:44:42.119 --> 01:44:45.079 exaggerated. Yeah big, actually, yeah, you're right that that two handed 1619 01:44:45.119 --> 01:44:47.880 sword that guy had, Like the hilt alone on that thing was like as 1620 01:44:47.960 --> 01:44:51.319 big as most and that and that hammer that giant like mouths. Not to 1621 01:44:51.359 --> 01:44:57.159 like Final Fantasy extremes though, is it is it like not not too such 1622 01:44:57.159 --> 01:45:00.439 a cartoonish degree. It's not like it's like pinball score definitely stands out. 1623 01:45:00.880 --> 01:45:04.520 I think it's I think it helps. I think that game needed more distinctive 1624 01:45:05.399 --> 01:45:09.199 personality arts. Like the first game to me was like we have made our 1625 01:45:09.399 --> 01:45:14.680 extremely standard fantasy. Elves are elves, Dwarves are dwarves. Yeah exactly, 1626 01:45:14.840 --> 01:45:17.920 yeah, just you know you you're you're Tolkien derivative low fantasy. Yeah. 1627 01:45:18.159 --> 01:45:20.600 Now there's now it's like all right, well we can make some stuff crazier 1628 01:45:20.680 --> 01:45:25.960 and you still get blooded up real good. They do all you do that 1629 01:45:26.239 --> 01:45:30.720 is to a cartoonish degree. The first it was crazy too. It's like 1630 01:45:30.840 --> 01:45:33.079 you literally took a blood beat. I think the guy had some perma blood 1631 01:45:33.079 --> 01:45:38.039 across this that that's a that's like a customization thing you pick to have, 1632 01:45:38.199 --> 01:45:40.880 like a smear, always have blood. I think I'm pretty sure I saw 1633 01:45:40.920 --> 01:45:45.000 that blood permanent facebood And that's just when they have their conversations, after they're 1634 01:45:45.039 --> 01:45:48.520 soaked in blood. We should go take a nap. I can't see. 1635 01:45:49.560 --> 01:45:55.399 This ship is fucked. Yeah, I'm a wizard. This ship is fucked. 1636 01:45:56.000 --> 01:45:58.880 I want you to know that I'm supposed to be far away casts and 1637 01:45:58.880 --> 01:46:03.319 spells. There would be no love on me, so this is I don't 1638 01:46:03.319 --> 01:46:06.359 even know if my spells make like make people bleed. He remember when I 1639 01:46:06.479 --> 01:46:11.159 wiped on that that fight. Remember when I was like, everybody's dead and 1640 01:46:11.239 --> 01:46:14.760 now I have to fight this guy alone. When they bred a pye bred 1641 01:46:14.880 --> 01:46:19.079 everybody wiped and you had to fight it with one guy too, sucks horrible 1642 01:46:19.119 --> 01:46:25.600 battle of attrition of like, oh that cool. And then on Friday, 1643 01:46:26.000 --> 01:46:30.039 I went to a bunch of drew and I went to a series of sweets 1644 01:46:31.359 --> 01:46:36.199 in a hotel in San Francisco to look at some Atari goods. What can 1645 01:46:36.239 --> 01:46:43.000 you talk about? I could talk about their downloadable slate that they have coming 1646 01:46:43.119 --> 01:46:46.399 up, including Yards Revenge, of which we have a quick look e x 1647 01:46:46.720 --> 01:46:50.279 up on the site that's already out. You check that out. What's that? 1648 01:46:50.399 --> 01:46:56.239 All these all game room releases make basketball making a new I'm not going 1649 01:46:56.279 --> 01:47:00.880 to play this game with you, Jack, Dungeons and Dragon Dagger Fall. 1650 01:47:00.079 --> 01:47:04.520 No, Dungeons Dragons Daggered Dale. There we go. What's that? Uh? 1651 01:47:04.960 --> 01:47:11.239 Like action RPG, Dungeon Crawler sitting the D and D universe, Like 1652 01:47:11.399 --> 01:47:15.840 Dark Alliance, I think sub Dark Alliance, but you know there's loots, 1653 01:47:16.279 --> 01:47:20.680 there's there's hammering on buttons to stab. Sub Dark Alliance like in terms of 1654 01:47:20.760 --> 01:47:25.399 complexity, yes, yes, yes, yes, of not quite that level. 1655 01:47:26.000 --> 01:47:28.359 Also, I mean again, you can pull the camera out if you 1656 01:47:28.439 --> 01:47:30.600 so choose to, but the camera seems a little more third person. He 1657 01:47:31.199 --> 01:47:34.039 you can go, you know, four player co in the back is yeah, 1658 01:47:34.199 --> 01:47:39.399 yeah, you know, four player co op. What was it like 1659 01:47:39.640 --> 01:47:45.960 Human Fighter, Elvin Rogue, Uh, behold the Dwarf Wizard, Thira, 1660 01:47:45.079 --> 01:47:47.760 the Valkyrie like that, but but like that kind of thing where it's like 1661 01:47:47.960 --> 01:47:53.880 it's the the class end the race are bound, like that's that's your one 1662 01:47:53.920 --> 01:47:57.319 of There are four characters to choose from what you know, what what what 1663 01:47:57.439 --> 01:47:59.920 class you want to play as determines who your character is and that's this is 1664 01:48:00.079 --> 01:48:03.159 downloadable. It should be in the spring. Played through a little kind of 1665 01:48:03.239 --> 01:48:09.720 you know, Dungeon the sequence and it seemed promising. I like that style 1666 01:48:09.760 --> 01:48:13.399 of game. Uh it's you know, but their thing was like, hey, 1667 01:48:13.720 --> 01:48:16.079 you know, we realized that D and D fans don't want everything. 1668 01:48:16.640 --> 01:48:23.680 Everything does not need to be uh never Winter Nights as far as the the 1669 01:48:24.159 --> 01:48:27.600 seriousness and the depth of the the role playing elements, like you can have 1670 01:48:27.760 --> 01:48:30.159 stuff that's a little lighter, and that's kind of what we wanted to do 1671 01:48:30.239 --> 01:48:35.319 with this. Are there cobalts in it? Very probably awesome? Maybe bugbears 1672 01:48:35.640 --> 01:48:42.239 mmm, bacco. It's maybe starting to get a little gelatinous cube. Man. 1673 01:48:42.319 --> 01:48:46.079 When you saw the gelatinous cubes and dark Alliances, awesome that there sick 1674 01:48:46.239 --> 01:48:48.880 fucking gelatinous cubes too. It's one of the good things about that realm of 1675 01:48:48.920 --> 01:48:53.960 the Mad God browser game. Oh yeah, hello cubes. There's a lot 1676 01:48:54.000 --> 01:48:59.119 of cubes. Gelatinous the gelatinous cube one of my favorite D and D tropes. 1677 01:49:00.039 --> 01:49:02.319 This cube you just see you just see, yeah, well and you 1678 01:49:02.399 --> 01:49:05.840 see like the bones floating in him. That's great, He's fantastic. I 1679 01:49:05.880 --> 01:49:09.640 don't like that. I like that. I like my gelatinous Cube's cute. 1680 01:49:10.520 --> 01:49:14.039 No see, I like ChB gelatinous cube. I love the idea of jelatics 1681 01:49:14.079 --> 01:49:16.920 Cube SD. It's the gelatics cube sounds so dumb, and the idea that 1682 01:49:17.000 --> 01:49:20.680 it could even be sinister. I think it's really funny. Why does it 1683 01:49:20.720 --> 01:49:29.880 maintain its cubic shape? Why? Why anything? Why did? Why did 1684 01:49:29.960 --> 01:49:32.199 Gary Gygax say, you know what would be great is if there was he 1685 01:49:32.319 --> 01:49:38.000 was jello squares, he was taking vodka or you know, doing jello shots. 1686 01:49:40.359 --> 01:49:42.760 Yeah, it just came to him. We've gotten around of the sewers 1687 01:49:42.840 --> 01:49:45.520 underneath our city with nothing but jello shots to keep him company. He said, 1688 01:49:45.720 --> 01:49:51.000 these things are a monster man, and then he's walking on a real 1689 01:49:51.079 --> 01:50:00.079 bad I think that looks potentially cool. And then also, uh, Ghostbusters 1690 01:50:01.119 --> 01:50:10.319 Slime, which is being made by I can't remember what they called now, 1691 01:50:10.399 --> 01:50:16.119 but formerly want to go the assault heroes people and assault Heroes too. This 1692 01:50:16.399 --> 01:50:21.039 kind of reminds me of like the underground on foot sections of Assault Heroes. 1693 01:50:21.920 --> 01:50:29.239 Huh, except you're playing as no name Ghostbusters. What universe are we in 1694 01:50:29.600 --> 01:50:36.399 this? The Ghosts Ghostbusters universe? It's you know, because if it were 1695 01:50:36.479 --> 01:50:41.159 me making that game, I wouldn't even try to explain it. It seems 1696 01:50:41.159 --> 01:50:45.439 like they're kind of like, it's not the original Ghostbusters. Yeah, we 1697 01:50:45.520 --> 01:50:47.760 had we made up some new Ghostbusters I don't franchise. Yeah, like you 1698 01:50:47.800 --> 01:50:51.520 don't need to explain it. There have been plenty of cases where they've done 1699 01:50:51.560 --> 01:50:55.720 that in the past with you know, all the weird Ghostbusters stuff, so 1700 01:50:56.720 --> 01:50:59.720 they seemed, uh, well whatever, I guess that wasn't the real Ghosts. 1701 01:50:59.760 --> 01:51:03.479 They seemed pretty realistic about expectations on that one of like, you know 1702 01:51:03.560 --> 01:51:06.279 whatever, it's got the Ghostbusters in it. You hear the proton pack. 1703 01:51:06.399 --> 01:51:10.319 There was some some weird color coded combat in it, so you could hit 1704 01:51:10.520 --> 01:51:14.399 hit a bumper, So it was uh so you went from proton pack to 1705 01:51:14.479 --> 01:51:19.119 this other kind of attack that you could shoot out, and then like enemies 1706 01:51:19.239 --> 01:51:21.640 of like that were yellow you would want to shoot with one thing, and 1707 01:51:21.760 --> 01:51:25.760 enemies that were red you'd want to shoot with the other thing. Crap, 1708 01:51:26.439 --> 01:51:32.159 pretty pretty simple, it seemed, m boomed. I don't know they came. 1709 01:51:32.279 --> 01:51:39.000 They came, looks like a Xbox Live arcade and PlayStation network down a 1710 01:51:39.000 --> 01:51:42.720 little bit title. It is a joystick shooter, it is. It is 1711 01:51:42.760 --> 01:51:45.640 a top down dual joystick shooter. You can cross the streams? What you 1712 01:51:45.720 --> 01:51:48.960 can cross the streams? Don't you think you have to? Don't you don't? 1713 01:51:49.000 --> 01:51:51.079 But don't? Yeah, for one, logistically, don't you have to? 1714 01:51:51.359 --> 01:51:55.199 But also don't you think that at some point the Ghostbusters would work out 1715 01:51:55.279 --> 01:51:59.760 that kink in their technology laws of physics. Man, don't mess around. 1716 01:52:00.039 --> 01:52:04.800 Imagine every adam in your body. See that seems like if you're going to 1717 01:52:04.880 --> 01:52:09.960 try and make a serious business around these proton packs, like that's a really 1718 01:52:10.159 --> 01:52:15.760 serious Yeah, that's it's anything you wants to shut them down considerable? Bug 1719 01:52:19.359 --> 01:52:21.960 Me just says, yeah, that that's just comes with the territory. But 1720 01:52:23.039 --> 01:52:27.079 no, you bootstrapped dangerous times, dangerous tools. But then you refine your 1721 01:52:27.119 --> 01:52:30.359 bootstrap and then you figure out how to make it something that you could give 1722 01:52:30.399 --> 01:52:33.199 to a franchise e. Who's to say that problem can be corrected? This 1723 01:52:33.439 --> 01:52:36.880 game enough this game. This game says, oh wait, I thought you. 1724 01:52:38.000 --> 01:52:41.079 I was waiting for you to explain the consequence of crossing those streams. 1725 01:52:41.199 --> 01:52:44.840 There is no I'm saying that. They say, they said you cross streams, 1726 01:52:44.840 --> 01:52:45.960 And at first I was like, I'm like, yeah, why not? 1727 01:52:46.079 --> 01:52:47.560 Why not? I was waiting for you to be like, yeah, 1728 01:52:47.560 --> 01:52:50.840 you can cross streams. And then it kicks you straight to the dashboard and 1729 01:52:50.920 --> 01:52:55.479 the racist you're safe and then says busting made me feel good, and red 1730 01:52:55.600 --> 01:52:58.560 rings your colors. Go ahead and go cross those streams like nuts. Because 1731 01:52:58.640 --> 01:53:00.760 Ray Parker Junior one of the stbusters in this game, so they make him 1732 01:53:00.760 --> 01:53:08.800 an honorary Nah, I don't think so, manjukay alright, pretty simple, 1733 01:53:09.399 --> 01:53:11.760 pretty simple game. Yeah. It was like a three player co op, 1734 01:53:11.960 --> 01:53:17.279 two player co op or player co op player co op. Slimmer was there? 1735 01:53:17.680 --> 01:53:20.960 I shot Slimmer. Is it really Slimmer? Yeah, the real Slimmer. 1736 01:53:21.119 --> 01:53:26.159 It's the real Ghostbusters real Slimmer action figure set. It's good that they 1737 01:53:26.159 --> 01:53:29.359 were able to get the likeness rights for him. The level I played took 1738 01:53:29.399 --> 01:53:33.560 place in the Sedgewick Hotel. It seems like they're they're pulling a lot of 1739 01:53:33.640 --> 01:53:39.239 like supporting characters. Wait a minute, so you're not the real Ghostbusters, 1740 01:53:39.319 --> 01:53:43.079 but it still takes place in the city where the real Ghostbusters applied their trade, 1741 01:53:43.520 --> 01:53:45.760 or have at least at some point applied there. So it's not like, 1742 01:53:45.279 --> 01:53:50.239 hey, you're in some other city and you're a new ghost It's conceivable 1743 01:53:50.399 --> 01:53:54.239 twenty eleven, it's conceivable that they would have retired. Okay, all right, 1744 01:53:54.520 --> 01:53:57.720 okay, I think I actually would have liked if they were like across 1745 01:53:57.840 --> 01:54:01.760 the country. There's this other come up Ghostbuster team that is like, we 1746 01:54:01.840 --> 01:54:04.399 could do that bed. One day the Hollywood they woke up and the Hollywood 1747 01:54:04.439 --> 01:54:08.239 sign was covered in burning slime, right, and they're like, oh man, 1748 01:54:08.359 --> 01:54:11.119 there are ghosts here too. Here's our approach. We can cross the 1749 01:54:11.159 --> 01:54:14.479 fucking streams. I don't know what you guys were doing. East Coast don't 1750 01:54:14.520 --> 01:54:20.000 know shit about busting ghosts. East Coast, West Coast moucking ghosts, jumping 1751 01:54:20.000 --> 01:54:24.239 through the oh in Hollywood sign which turned into a portal. We got a 1752 01:54:24.279 --> 01:54:27.800 cross streams to close said portal thing. No wizard, what do you think? 1753 01:54:30.159 --> 01:54:33.800 And just Wizard is like one of the street talking new Ghostbusters. What 1754 01:54:33.960 --> 01:54:38.840 a wizard? I believe the black character does wear his hat backwards. Oh 1755 01:54:39.039 --> 01:54:43.560 man, yeah, yeah, and what else did they show? That's all 1756 01:54:43.800 --> 01:54:46.479 I can talk about. Okay, oh, I said Yards Revenge. I 1757 01:54:46.520 --> 01:54:49.439 don't know about Yards Revenge. It's a railshooter and it's like it is, 1758 01:54:49.720 --> 01:54:54.520 isn't it a panther dragoon e kind of thing? Else? Yeah, they 1759 01:54:54.800 --> 01:55:00.520 compared it to to Res and uh fuck I for remember something else? Sin 1760 01:55:00.600 --> 01:55:02.279 and Punishment. Yeah, Sin and Punishment res where the games they compared to 1761 01:55:02.359 --> 01:55:05.560 because of the kind of the combo system that was in place there. Uh 1762 01:55:05.920 --> 01:55:12.399 for Kyo, some lock on, but also free targeting, so it's not 1763 01:55:12.600 --> 01:55:14.720 all just like you have a melee attack, because that, to me is 1764 01:55:14.800 --> 01:55:17.199 kind of the thing that differentiates Sin and Punishment from No. But I will 1765 01:55:17.199 --> 01:55:20.479 tell you this. When you turn on your shields, it looks like the 1766 01:55:20.600 --> 01:55:24.880 fucking shield for all the other crazy shit that they did to the art style. 1767 01:55:25.000 --> 01:55:29.560 Like while they've kind of like blaze their own weird anime path for the 1768 01:55:29.800 --> 01:55:32.319 look of that game, it looks like the shield around the coat shield just 1769 01:55:32.399 --> 01:55:38.039 that block them the bar. It looks like that. It has that like 1770 01:55:38.239 --> 01:55:43.680 crazy random color pattern feel to it, except it's circular and goes around you. 1771 01:55:45.159 --> 01:55:48.520 Are you your yes? But that thing's like just interference that you can't 1772 01:55:48.560 --> 01:55:53.159 shoot when you're inside that field. Like that doesn't play, man, They're 1773 01:55:53.159 --> 01:55:57.399 not true to the fiction. You don't. You know what. I'm sorry, 1774 01:55:57.479 --> 01:55:59.840 Jeff. You don't get to be upset about anything about what they do 1775 01:56:00.079 --> 01:56:04.840 for friends? Do they have that? Do they license that song by the 1776 01:56:05.199 --> 01:56:10.840 fucking Champs for it? No? That does not seem like the style they're 1777 01:56:10.840 --> 01:56:15.239 going for. All right, it is a download game. All of these 1778 01:56:15.279 --> 01:56:19.279 are downloadable. All of these are downloadable games. Yeah, none of these 1779 01:56:19.439 --> 01:56:25.960 would play as full disc releases. So good on Atari for kind of making 1780 01:56:26.239 --> 01:56:30.079 a strong push or at least making a push on their their downloadable stuff, 1781 01:56:30.239 --> 01:56:32.039 all of this stuff. At least that also kind of sounds better than Haunted 1782 01:56:32.079 --> 01:56:35.000 House, at least for at least for this, you know, if that's 1783 01:56:35.039 --> 01:56:39.319 what they're aiming for. Is is the Spring and House come out? It 1784 01:56:39.800 --> 01:56:46.159 did? We did a quick look of it. Hated House, That's all 1785 01:56:46.159 --> 01:56:50.359 I've got. You don't you don't know, Oh fucking you don't know. 1786 01:56:50.520 --> 01:56:56.039 Jack is awesome, you guys, This comes out this week, and it's 1787 01:56:56.079 --> 01:56:59.960 awesome if you guys like you don't know Jack, I pre ordered a cup. 1788 01:57:00.239 --> 01:57:02.439 Did she get it? I did? I love I love it. 1789 01:57:02.880 --> 01:57:05.760 Hopefully it will come. It's great. How do you feel about the value 1790 01:57:05.840 --> 01:57:10.399 proposition there? I think it's really solid. But again, I love you 1791 01:57:10.399 --> 01:57:14.039 don't know, like I love the old games. I've paid fifty dollars for 1792 01:57:14.399 --> 01:57:17.159 less than what I'm getting here, like trivia. Yeah, and for seeing 1793 01:57:17.199 --> 01:57:20.399 it stuff like you know, even for old for when you don't know Jack 1794 01:57:20.479 --> 01:57:26.680 was on the PC originally in the nineties when forty to fifty dollars was a 1795 01:57:26.720 --> 01:57:29.840 lot more. Yeah, I was. I was buying you don't know Jack 1796 01:57:29.880 --> 01:57:32.079 games and enjoying them and feeling I was getting my money's worth out of them. 1797 01:57:32.520 --> 01:57:34.840 So I paid thirty bucks. Is that on sale or is that a 1798 01:57:35.640 --> 01:57:39.199 that's the best, that's how much it is, okay, because on Amazon 1799 01:57:39.279 --> 01:57:41.479 it was like, so Amazon has the slash, but if you go to 1800 01:57:41.560 --> 01:57:44.199 game Stop, it's just thirty bucks. Okay. So I first I saw 1801 01:57:44.239 --> 01:57:45.840 that, I felt like, oh no, did I misspeak and say it 1802 01:57:45.880 --> 01:57:48.039 was thirty bucks when really it's forty and it's only gonna be thirty for a 1803 01:57:48.119 --> 01:57:51.079 little bit. And then being weird, I don't know what what's up with 1804 01:57:51.119 --> 01:57:55.520 Amazon? But uh, yeah, I looked at game Stop for it and 1805 01:57:55.600 --> 01:57:59.319 it's it's thirty buck. I mean that that many questions and that's sleep like 1806 01:57:59.399 --> 01:58:02.960 a production, seven hundred and twenty questions. Steal You're You're You're gonna a 1807 01:58:03.039 --> 01:58:08.239 ton of questions. The the the quality of the trivia is incredibly high. 1808 01:58:08.680 --> 01:58:12.319 It's got a great sense of humor. I just feel like they couldn't get 1809 01:58:12.359 --> 01:58:15.840 that that flow. If they randomize it, you get a yeah. But 1810 01:58:15.199 --> 01:58:19.640 the outside is the you can basically only play that game once with any given 1811 01:58:19.680 --> 01:58:25.239 group of people, and arguably only once period, and then like the challenge 1812 01:58:25.279 --> 01:58:29.159 aspect of it is going to go away. It has it has a single 1813 01:58:29.279 --> 01:58:31.800 use. I agree, but I think that the I think there's more upside 1814 01:58:32.000 --> 01:58:39.800 to the format that they chose downside because the past it's been randomized. Uh. 1815 01:58:39.880 --> 01:58:42.720 And the problem is that in any trivia game like that, the first 1816 01:58:42.800 --> 01:58:46.720 time you see a question for the second time the magic is over. Your 1817 01:58:47.000 --> 01:58:51.399 interest in that game immediately plummets. It's like, oh, I'm already looping 1818 01:58:51.520 --> 01:58:56.520 on the trivia questions. Fantastic le up front about how it all works. 1819 01:58:56.640 --> 01:58:59.159 It's like they're like, hey, so just don't play this episode again. 1820 01:58:59.199 --> 01:59:01.840 So these questions, you've used them up. But even more like this is 1821 01:59:01.960 --> 01:59:05.640 from a genre that you would typically whip out when people come over your house, 1822 01:59:05.720 --> 01:59:08.279 you know, like it's something you want to play in a group. 1823 01:59:08.399 --> 01:59:12.720 Sure, a couple of episodes. How many episodes are that's the thing. 1824 01:59:12.760 --> 01:59:15.239 There's a ton of them. Okay, I guess that's kind of a lot. 1825 01:59:15.279 --> 01:59:16.119 But you know at some point you're gonna run out. Yeah, and 1826 01:59:16.600 --> 01:59:19.399 but there's there's also gonna be a DLC. Yeah, they're gonna support. 1827 01:59:19.399 --> 01:59:21.199 They do a lot of support. And then that's cool. I feel like 1828 01:59:21.279 --> 01:59:26.960 the base number justifies it. Uh. I mean there's a lot of banter 1829 01:59:27.119 --> 01:59:30.119 in there. First again, again, price wise, it is a perfectly 1830 01:59:30.199 --> 01:59:32.840 fine value. It's just that it's it's so good that you kind of wanted 1831 01:59:32.880 --> 01:59:35.800 to go on forever, right, I mean, I mean the danger there 1832 01:59:35.880 --> 01:59:42.399 is I could easily see, you know, see one accidentally just burning through 1833 01:59:42.439 --> 01:59:45.039 the whole thing. I'm not wanting to quit of Like that's the con Trivia 1834 01:59:45.119 --> 01:59:46.760 is so good and these questions are funny, and I love this format. 1835 01:59:46.840 --> 01:59:48.680 Let's keep going. You could go through it in a week and then like 1836 01:59:48.800 --> 01:59:51.800 oh no, when are they gonna make another one of these? I did 1837 01:59:51.840 --> 01:59:56.079 it without my friends, and now now it's now I'm gonna beat them now. 1838 01:59:56.119 --> 01:59:59.800 It's not fun for them when I know all the answers beat them soundly. 1839 02:00:00.279 --> 02:00:03.199 I was impressed, honestly, again as a fan of the old you 1840 02:00:03.239 --> 02:00:08.039 know Jack games, how closely they stuck to I expected much more to be 1841 02:00:08.159 --> 02:00:13.720 changed in the overall format, but like dis or dats and and the Jack 1842 02:00:13.760 --> 02:00:18.239 attack and screws and even even just kind of the the behind the scenes banter 1843 02:00:18.600 --> 02:00:21.840 that that you hear ramping up to the start of the episode and then the 1844 02:00:21.920 --> 02:00:26.960 post episode stuff and the fake commercials, like they just hit the tone and 1845 02:00:27.079 --> 02:00:31.399 the structure just seems like they made another one of those games exactly. They 1846 02:00:31.439 --> 02:00:35.399 didn't around like this is a you don't Know Jack for a new generation. 1847 02:00:36.199 --> 02:00:40.600 This is another you don't Know Jack? Why did it? But I feel 1848 02:00:40.600 --> 02:00:43.680 like it's I feel like it still plays. Yeah, I don't know, 1849 02:00:43.680 --> 02:00:45.840 I'm saying that, you know, that makes it retro or whatever. It's 1850 02:00:45.880 --> 02:00:46.720 not like trivia games. Well, but I mean that's that's kind of the 1851 02:00:46.720 --> 02:00:48.840 thing. Is like they just they kind of just stopped, like they I 1852 02:00:48.880 --> 02:00:53.680 feel like they just resupped saturation on the PCs. They were doing like online 1853 02:00:53.880 --> 02:00:57.039 stuff for a while, they were like they were they were speramenting all kinds 1854 02:00:57.039 --> 02:01:00.920 of crazy business. Yeah, around around nine in two thousand, they were 1855 02:01:00.960 --> 02:01:04.880 doing crazy weekly shows that they were producing on the web that were somebody builder 1856 02:01:04.960 --> 02:01:09.239 in here. Somebody needs to be held to account for the missing years of 1857 02:01:09.279 --> 02:01:13.680 Jelly Vision that were really good. Uh. And then they did that again 1858 02:01:13.800 --> 02:01:15.760 leading up to this release. Yeah, I wonder what just what happened to 1859 02:01:15.960 --> 02:01:20.720 Jelly Vision. I don't know, It's weird that they were able to still 1860 02:01:20.840 --> 02:01:25.680 exist for all of those years that they weren't making you don't know jack games, 1861 02:01:27.600 --> 02:01:30.640 But here they are with a new you don't know, like burning through 1862 02:01:30.680 --> 02:01:35.039 their money and like shit time. Yeah, I mean, it's it's got 1863 02:01:35.119 --> 02:01:39.159 to this like the point of diminishing returns, where it's like where the new 1864 02:01:39.199 --> 02:01:43.520 stuff's not moving? All right, what's gonna hang out? Let's make a 1865 02:01:43.600 --> 02:01:45.560 jack game? Well, you have to. I think it was. It 1866 02:01:45.640 --> 02:01:49.680 needed. It needed to switch platforms and needed to not just be this PC 1867 02:01:49.840 --> 02:01:54.640 only thing, right because the time that it first came out, you couldn't 1868 02:01:54.640 --> 02:01:57.680 make those games on other systems. Right, you could not make you don't 1869 02:01:57.680 --> 02:02:01.960 know jack work or multi media? That was that was multimedia MPC two to 1870 02:02:02.640 --> 02:02:05.279 play. You don't know, ja, God damn right you did. That's 1871 02:02:05.279 --> 02:02:08.800 out this week. I think it's I think it's a delight. And we're 1872 02:02:08.800 --> 02:02:12.159 out of time. Oh man, what we're out of time? Like for 1873 02:02:12.279 --> 02:02:15.520 good We're like two hours. Oh it's what we're done. Yeah, no 1874 02:02:15.680 --> 02:02:17.880 news, enough finished our podcast, dude, there's a ton of news is 1875 02:02:17.920 --> 02:02:23.840 there? Like what I mean, I can't talk rumors about Halo being remade 1876 02:02:23.840 --> 02:02:28.680 for the Xbox three sixty as the ten year anniversary of Halo Combat Evolved is 1877 02:02:28.800 --> 02:02:32.159 upon us. Makes sense. They're saying that saber, those fine folks working 1878 02:02:32.279 --> 02:02:39.680 on inversion might be working on it, and no, it's one of those 1879 02:02:39.760 --> 02:02:45.680 things that like zero official confirmation, but is being reported in such a way 1880 02:02:45.079 --> 02:02:49.640 that it does make sense, right Yeah, where it's like you guys are 1881 02:02:49.760 --> 02:02:54.119 using a kind of knowing language where you're like, well, I know that 1882 02:02:54.159 --> 02:02:57.840 no one at Microsoft is going to flat out deny this story, but I 1883 02:02:57.840 --> 02:03:01.159 also not gonna get a confirmation. So if I just say supposedly a lot, 1884 02:03:01.800 --> 02:03:04.600 than I can get away with it. Yeah, at least that's that's 1885 02:03:04.640 --> 02:03:10.520 the feeling that I get from that. Uh, Battlefield nineteen forty three is 1886 02:03:10.600 --> 02:03:15.560 not coming to the PC, big ethan surprise, because because they need to 1887 02:03:15.680 --> 02:03:20.000 put more dudes onto crazy Battlefield three trailers like the one they put out last 1888 02:03:20.039 --> 02:03:27.119 week where it's where plane through flew through an exploding helicopter. I didn't see 1889 02:03:27.159 --> 02:03:30.439 that, And they said it's got sixty four dudes on the PC, so 1890 02:03:30.600 --> 02:03:35.520 it'll still be giant. It's sixty four still giant. I guess how many 1891 02:03:35.560 --> 02:03:44.399 how many games other than Battlefield and and Mag is like a weird experimental outlier 1892 02:03:44.520 --> 02:03:45.920 though, where that's the whole point of the game. It's not just a 1893 02:03:46.039 --> 02:03:50.960 service of you're right, yeah, mag is still cool. It's just so 1894 02:03:51.079 --> 02:03:57.359 how many people per team? It's sixty four total total and then twenty four 1895 02:03:57.439 --> 02:04:00.279 total on console. I think it's what they're saying, four a lot of 1896 02:04:00.319 --> 02:04:03.600 dudes, which at some point you start to wonder, why would you even 1897 02:04:03.680 --> 02:04:08.159 make a console version if you're going to make it that different game, And 1898 02:04:08.239 --> 02:04:11.760 the answer, of course, money, money, money, money, money, 1899 02:04:11.800 --> 02:04:15.359 money mon n Oh, did you guys saw you playing a little yes, 1900 02:04:15.560 --> 02:04:20.960 a little Assassin's Creed? I left it on pause all weekend. I 1901 02:04:21.039 --> 02:04:23.960 just kept coming back to it. No, No, I finished one. 1902 02:04:24.119 --> 02:04:27.359 Oh congratulations, I am deep into two. That's why I was like sitting 1903 02:04:27.399 --> 02:04:30.600 here like clinching my fists when you said that we were out of No. 1904 02:04:30.640 --> 02:04:32.640 No, let's talk about assass screed. Really, yeah, we can save 1905 02:04:32.640 --> 02:04:34.359 it till next week. No, no, no, I mean I'll probably 1906 02:04:34.399 --> 02:04:36.560 have finished two by next week. I want. Well, let's check in. 1907 02:04:36.680 --> 02:04:41.680 Are you enjoying two more than a dude? Right? Oh my god? 1908 02:04:41.880 --> 02:04:45.079 How much? I can't even imagine because I'm going from one to the 1909 02:04:45.159 --> 02:04:48.640 next. Liked the space of less than twenty four hours trapped in a coffin 1910 02:04:49.119 --> 02:04:53.079 because I had like a year, right, or like two years. See, 1911 02:04:53.119 --> 02:04:56.279 I can't imagine finishing the first one when it was new. Yeah, 1912 02:04:56.880 --> 02:04:59.800 like I would have thrown it out the window. I would have taken a 1913 02:05:00.000 --> 02:05:02.600 shit on the disk. You know. It's like that Halo two syndrome of 1914 02:05:02.720 --> 02:05:05.119 the ending is so frustrated. It wasn't the ending so much? Is that 1915 02:05:05.239 --> 02:05:09.880 just like you guys made half a game, like you stretched out, came 1916 02:05:09.920 --> 02:05:13.119 up with this like really amazing framework, and then didn't make a fun game 1917 02:05:13.199 --> 02:05:15.319 around it. You know, at the time, you know, it was 1918 02:05:15.640 --> 02:05:18.960 since it was so new and we didn't have the yeah, the perspective we 1919 02:05:19.039 --> 02:05:21.720 have now, Like like at the time the original Assassin's Creed was it was 1920 02:05:21.800 --> 02:05:26.720 fantastic. I remember at the time thinking like like, there's a lot of 1921 02:05:26.760 --> 02:05:29.720 stuff really great, but yeah, there there are things about it where you're 1922 02:05:29.760 --> 02:05:32.039 like, man, this this stuff makes it really hard to love Assassin. 1923 02:05:32.039 --> 02:05:35.600 I mean, yeah, I burned out on it originally, specifically because there's 1924 02:05:35.680 --> 02:05:39.960 like three mission types and it's just the same ship. I definitely got something 1925 02:05:40.039 --> 02:05:44.439 out of just like the the dynamic climbing up a tower, doing this, 1926 02:05:44.640 --> 02:05:47.079 the synchronization scan, like I just I got a little kick out of that 1927 02:05:47.199 --> 02:05:50.039 every single time. That stuff is beautiful, Like that's yeah, it is. 1928 02:05:50.800 --> 02:05:53.920 I did all of those. I did every viewpoint in the first game 1929 02:05:53.960 --> 02:05:56.800 because because it's amazing. It looks great. So what's going on too? 1930 02:05:56.880 --> 02:05:59.720 That's got you so, I don't know. I mean, the reasons so 1931 02:05:59.800 --> 02:06:02.359 much more approachable and enjoyable have been so well documented. I don't think we 1932 02:06:02.399 --> 02:06:04.880 need to spend a lot of time on the way it's a proper it's a 1933 02:06:05.000 --> 02:06:10.279 proper open world game, Like there's enough variety that you're always there's always something 1934 02:06:10.880 --> 02:06:14.000 nearby to do that you haven't done in so long that you wouldn't mind doing 1935 02:06:14.000 --> 02:06:15.359 it again. Have you even become an assassin yet? With it's you? 1936 02:06:16.439 --> 02:06:20.920 How do you define becoming an assassin? I've got two blades? Okay? 1937 02:06:21.079 --> 02:06:25.359 Does that count? Yes? Okay? Yeah, I mean I'm I'm on 1938 02:06:25.520 --> 02:06:28.439 like sequence five. Oh okay, so you played more than a little bit. 1939 02:06:28.479 --> 02:06:30.279 Oh yeah, I'm like ten hours into it. Okay, I don't 1940 02:06:30.279 --> 02:06:32.520 know. I just turned it on. My villa is as renovated as it 1941 02:06:32.600 --> 02:06:36.199 can be. Uh, how much? How great is that ship? I 1942 02:06:36.279 --> 02:06:39.319 hate? I hate that you have to go back to get your money every 1943 02:06:39.359 --> 02:06:43.600 time though. That's well Brotherhood, yeah, I know, I'm sure that's 1944 02:06:43.640 --> 02:06:45.920 coming. I mean, this is already so much. It's it's it's its 1945 02:06:45.960 --> 02:06:48.600 own thing. In Brotherhood it kind of spends out in a weird way. 1946 02:06:49.119 --> 02:06:54.359 But how how great is it? And they make less of a deal out 1947 02:06:54.399 --> 02:06:57.079 of it in Brotherhood? But I still figured out that you could do it, 1948 02:06:57.119 --> 02:06:59.520 and I would do it all the time. Love throwing money on the 1949 02:06:59.560 --> 02:07:03.239 street. I love just the the animation, the flagrance with which et CEO 1950 02:07:03.600 --> 02:07:08.279 just tosses coins as like what and then everybody goes ape shit and everyone loses 1951 02:07:08.319 --> 02:07:15.159 it, like diving Fornmanmanni. Did you guys play that game in Italian a 1952 02:07:15.199 --> 02:07:16.800 little bit? Did you do that? I tried that. I tried that 1953 02:07:16.840 --> 02:07:18.720 for about an hour. It's kind of cool. It's kind of weird. 1954 02:07:18.920 --> 02:07:23.520 Yeah, that's all right. I think it's good. The subtitles are not 1955 02:07:23.600 --> 02:07:25.640 as pervasive as they need to be if you're gonna do that, though, 1956 02:07:25.960 --> 02:07:29.199 like none of the none of the ambient dialogue gets translated, right. Yeah, 1957 02:07:29.239 --> 02:07:32.319 there's definitely don't know what anybody's saying, and even some of the some 1958 02:07:32.439 --> 02:07:35.159 of the Italian will just show up in Italian and the subtitles. That's that's 1959 02:07:35.199 --> 02:07:39.159 the frustrating part. It didn't really come on. But the weird part is 1960 02:07:39.239 --> 02:07:41.720 that it's different Italian than what you're saying. Oh yeah, yeah, sure, 1961 02:07:41.720 --> 02:07:45.399 they say different words and then the subtitle has a different word. It's 1962 02:07:45.439 --> 02:07:47.439 just weird. Did you speak any time? I can enough to know that 1963 02:07:47.560 --> 02:07:50.000 when the word they're saying it is not the word that's right. Because because 1964 02:07:50.000 --> 02:07:53.279 my girlfriend was watching me play it and said we should get you over there, 1965 02:07:53.279 --> 02:07:55.199 and I was like, I don't. I know he's Italian and everything, 1966 02:07:55.319 --> 02:07:58.319 but what sort of subtitling do you guys prefer when it comes to stuff 1967 02:07:58.359 --> 02:08:00.479 like that, Like there there are a lot of games like because I played 1968 02:08:00.479 --> 02:08:03.920 Dead Space too with the subtitles on, really and there are things that you 1969 02:08:03.039 --> 02:08:07.000 couldn't really like opening like opening of the game dialogue. So I didn't. 1970 02:08:07.000 --> 02:08:11.720 I didn't. You don't necessarily pick out because it's all scratchy, and I 1971 02:08:11.760 --> 02:08:13.840 didn't. I didn't bring that into radio of that game. Yeah, that 1972 02:08:13.960 --> 02:08:16.159 is a problem with that game, But you turn on the subtitles and it's 1973 02:08:16.159 --> 02:08:18.880 all right there, clear as day, And do you think that's good or 1974 02:08:18.920 --> 02:08:22.960 bad? I don't know. I like, at some point it was good 1975 02:08:22.000 --> 02:08:26.239 to know what that stuff was, but I felt like it lost some of 1976 02:08:26.319 --> 02:08:30.760 the ambiance of you're not really supposed to pick out every single word of this 1977 02:08:30.960 --> 02:08:33.880 sentence. So that was the That was the visceral defense of that issue. 1978 02:08:33.720 --> 02:08:37.479 One of those guys posted in the neo gap thread for that game saying specifically, 1979 02:08:37.520 --> 02:08:41.199 it's like a lot of psychological like stuff that's supposed to be in his 1980 02:08:41.239 --> 02:08:45.479 head, basically, the stuff that's hardest to understand, like stuff that's mixed 1981 02:08:45.479 --> 02:08:46.880 in such a way that you can't really understand it, right, And they 1982 02:08:46.920 --> 02:08:48.800 came out saying like, well, you know, those are supposed to be 1983 02:08:48.880 --> 02:08:52.840 like hallucinations and stuff, so if you don't get every word and every nuance, 1984 02:08:52.479 --> 02:08:56.279 it's just supposed to add texture to his insanity. But right, it 1985 02:08:56.319 --> 02:08:58.079 doesn't look like it's like it's not that's not developing the story. Yeah, 1986 02:08:58.199 --> 02:09:01.119 yeah, that kind of sounds like a cop out to me. I don't 1987 02:09:01.119 --> 02:09:03.439 know, like I think that that's that's the right answer. I think that 1988 02:09:03.479 --> 02:09:07.840 that's that's definitely the right move because the things that are being screamed at you 1989 02:09:07.119 --> 02:09:13.479 by Nicole here and there early on not really important. Sure, even though 1990 02:09:13.479 --> 02:09:16.279 it does kind of come back around, like the kind of core phrase that 1991 02:09:16.359 --> 02:09:22.000 she keeps, you know, saying here and there is not necessarily something that 1992 02:09:22.079 --> 02:09:26.119 you need to get every time she says it. Sure, and there's stuff 1993 02:09:26.119 --> 02:09:30.600 at the very beginning where there's a tideman said his name runs in the station, 1994 02:09:30.840 --> 02:09:33.560 where he's given the order to kind of execute everybody. Uh, that 1995 02:09:33.920 --> 02:09:37.399 you don't necessarily pick out the first time you hear it unless you're running really 1996 02:09:37.439 --> 02:09:43.079 fast to get closer to where the audio is sourced from and and so yeah, 1997 02:09:43.079 --> 02:09:46.520 I don't know. Like, on one hand, I appreciated being able 1998 02:09:46.560 --> 02:09:48.880 to see every single bit that they wrote for it. On the other hand, 1999 02:09:50.039 --> 02:09:52.439 it definitely like anything that was supposed to be ambient, anything it was 2000 02:09:52.439 --> 02:09:56.199 supposed to be kind of spooky and crazy, uh, was stripped away to 2001 02:09:56.399 --> 02:10:01.800 just words on the screen and the script. I just absolutely something to be 2002 02:10:01.880 --> 02:10:05.920 said for you know what you can't hear or s. Yeah, Like I 2003 02:10:05.000 --> 02:10:09.000 feel like they should have. They should have, like Sun said, like 2004 02:10:09.079 --> 02:10:11.119 you know, garbled. Yeah. I think the thing about the subtitles, 2005 02:10:11.119 --> 02:10:13.520 they could have made it more clear upfront that you didn't need to hear that 2006 02:10:13.560 --> 02:10:16.279 stuff, and in fact, it might be better if you didn't, because 2007 02:10:16.319 --> 02:10:20.640 I feel personally that I've been trained to try to pick out every single word 2008 02:10:20.720 --> 02:10:22.760 that's thrown at me. Yeah, just to absorb as much information about the 2009 02:10:22.800 --> 02:10:26.399 game world as possible. And so every time she would start babbling about something, 2010 02:10:26.439 --> 02:10:30.279 I would pause and go into the menu and turn on the subtitles just 2011 02:10:30.399 --> 02:10:33.520 long enough to see that stuff, because you couldn't understand it otherwise. Interesting 2012 02:10:33.680 --> 02:10:37.800 anyway, I'm playing AC two with no subtitles in English, and I went 2013 02:10:37.840 --> 02:10:41.880 back, Uh, well, I'm glad you're enjoying. That feels like the 2014 02:10:41.000 --> 02:10:48.520 right way. The only thing that feels weird is that it feels like it's 2015 02:10:48.600 --> 02:10:52.880 kind of more garish than the first game, Like First Assassin's Creed. Like 2016 02:10:52.960 --> 02:10:56.359 for all of its faults, it had a really uniquely kind of austere quality 2017 02:10:56.439 --> 02:10:58.000 to it. Sure, you know what I mean, But I think I 2018 02:10:58.079 --> 02:11:03.760 think that reflects the times, like flamboyant, like he yeah, he feels 2019 02:11:03.800 --> 02:11:07.159 like the protagonist and like a Bruckheimer movie, like just you know, Devil, 2020 02:11:07.359 --> 02:11:11.119 Devil make Care, very brash, cocky badass. Yeah, sure, 2021 02:11:11.159 --> 02:11:13.720 I mean he's gotta, he's gotta come through on the other side. Yeah, 2022 02:11:13.880 --> 02:11:18.720 he's like a cocky badass that then a bunch of really rough things happened 2023 02:11:18.840 --> 02:11:22.119 to his entire family, and I can already he has to step it up 2024 02:11:22.159 --> 02:11:24.319 and be like, all right, I gotta. I can already see that 2025 02:11:24.359 --> 02:11:26.960 it's going that way. It's already he becomes more serious and yeah, I 2026 02:11:28.000 --> 02:11:31.640 don't know if is the statute of limitations up on what happens in this game. 2027 02:11:31.760 --> 02:11:33.640 As you haven't played it, turn to turn this off. When the 2028 02:11:33.920 --> 02:11:39.079 uh the Posse's launched their their scheme, like on the Sunday Morning services, 2029 02:11:39.600 --> 02:11:43.640 like the very like Godfather style, Yeah, Gangland Slaughter. Yeah, I 2030 02:11:43.760 --> 02:11:46.279 was just like, oh, like, I was running after those guys, 2031 02:11:46.359 --> 02:11:52.720 like actually failed the mission where you have to defend Lorenzo Medici. Yeah, 2032 02:11:52.760 --> 02:11:56.840 because the the posse guy who tried to kill him is supposed to get away, 2033 02:11:56.079 --> 02:12:00.000 right, and just kept chasing him over and over. I kept failing 2034 02:12:00.199 --> 02:12:03.239 that mission because I was trying to kill them without letting like. They definitely 2035 02:12:03.279 --> 02:12:05.960 make it for the assassinations feel so much more like personal and relevant to you. 2036 02:12:07.920 --> 02:12:11.199 Did you get to the uh the carnival? No? I love that. 2037 02:12:11.399 --> 02:12:16.159 I love that. I love that sex right just visually the stuff that 2038 02:12:16.199 --> 02:12:20.279 they that have stuff is great in that part is like Jeff said, that's 2039 02:12:20.439 --> 02:12:28.359 just fucked up. The game's already pretty fun. Assass him forward to seeing 2040 02:12:28.399 --> 02:12:31.880 what else happens. Uh, well, fantastic. I'm I'm happy to I'm 2041 02:12:31.960 --> 02:12:35.600 happy to check in with you again later. Yeah, I continue to set 2042 02:12:35.640 --> 02:12:37.800 screed. Could not be happier to be catching up on that stuff. I 2043 02:12:37.840 --> 02:12:39.960 don't know what the funk I was doing a year and a half ago when 2044 02:12:39.960 --> 02:12:43.239 you guys were all playing that game. You were saying, oh, I 2045 02:12:43.319 --> 02:12:46.000 gotta finish the first to say. Yeah, it's pretty much pretty much you're 2046 02:12:46.039 --> 02:12:50.399 saying, oh, but this preview event, I don't know. I'm glad 2047 02:12:50.520 --> 02:12:56.439 I finished the first one just to see side by side exactly how it changed. 2048 02:12:56.600 --> 02:12:58.520 Some of that story stuff is kind of cool. I don't know, 2049 02:12:58.720 --> 02:13:05.199 like I was already aware of the broad kind of underpinnings of the franchise of 2050 02:13:05.279 --> 02:13:07.079 storyline, like this kind of clash between two factions and stuff, and then 2051 02:13:07.079 --> 02:13:09.960 when you see that stuff play out in the first game, it's just like 2052 02:13:09.039 --> 02:13:13.079 a flatly delivered line of dialogue. Yeah, they don't really do it very 2053 02:13:13.119 --> 02:13:15.720 well. Like you pop out of the cinemas and Kristen Bell is just like, 2054 02:13:16.000 --> 02:13:18.760 oh, by the way, these guys are templars. Not so much 2055 02:13:18.800 --> 02:13:24.119 that part. It's more of the like the notes from from outside a kind 2056 02:13:24.119 --> 02:13:28.359 of cool like where the stuff went, where he went after the Assassin's Guild 2057 02:13:28.479 --> 02:13:31.079 was kind of demolished. Yeah, I think it's stuff that, like with 2058 02:13:31.560 --> 02:13:35.000 the where you got to in Assassin's Creed one, you could have just watched 2059 02:13:35.119 --> 02:13:39.760 the ending to that game in video form and been just as ready to go. 2060 02:13:39.239 --> 02:13:43.479 There's some cool stuff that are like, like not true of Assassin's Creed 2061 02:13:43.560 --> 02:13:48.000 too, not true at all. You gotta finish that ship because that game 2062 02:13:48.039 --> 02:13:52.520 goes tossome. Do not play Brotherhood with until you finished. I don't. 2063 02:13:52.520 --> 02:13:54.239 I don't know if I can do Brotherhood back to back with two that's already 2064 02:13:54.279 --> 02:13:56.119 did one and two. Wait a couple of years. It'll be fine. 2065 02:13:58.399 --> 02:14:00.359 No, I mean, you know, I'll give it a maybe I'll do 2066 02:14:00.439 --> 02:14:03.279 my dead Space run. That'll give you time to you know, play the 2067 02:14:03.439 --> 02:14:09.880 Assassin's Screed Brotherhood Facebook. I figure up your figure. I should finish Brotherhood 2068 02:14:09.920 --> 02:14:16.359 before you three in case, just in case. Yeah, there's there's sweet. 2069 02:14:16.640 --> 02:14:22.119 You heard it here first he said there's going to be another Assassin Screed 2070 02:14:22.199 --> 02:14:24.039 game. You heard if you had subtitles to this podcast on you already know 2071 02:14:24.159 --> 02:14:30.079 that from from these uh from last year. They said that, already said 2072 02:14:30.119 --> 02:14:33.760 we're gonna do another one of these. They said, like next year. 2073 02:14:33.479 --> 02:14:37.560 Even so, they said we're gonna bring keep busting these out because people seem 2074 02:14:37.560 --> 02:14:39.000 to like them. I'll play three and a half of them. I don't 2075 02:14:39.000 --> 02:14:43.199 know. You saw what There's gonna be a Madden NFL Football this year. 2076 02:14:43.199 --> 02:14:46.399 It turns out they showed us they showed a screenshot of it. You want 2077 02:14:46.439 --> 02:14:50.479 to have? They really like during the Super Bowl. I think the producer 2078 02:14:50.760 --> 02:14:54.279 look football. So yeah, it literally is a blurry screenshot like a phone 2079 02:14:54.319 --> 02:14:58.159 shot of a TV. And did you see it as a football field? 2080 02:14:58.199 --> 02:15:03.039 You're like, yep, they finally did it perfect. This ship is fucked 2081 02:15:03.119 --> 02:15:05.880 up? Uh you do? You guys want to know what's coming out this 2082 02:15:05.960 --> 02:15:09.760 week? Sure? Is that all the news? I want to know? 2083 02:15:09.960 --> 02:15:15.880 Is there any more news? I don't know? I bet we don't need 2084 02:15:15.920 --> 02:15:18.359 to talk about that at all. I'm saying we should, we should leave 2085 02:15:18.399 --> 02:15:22.359 soon. A bunch of people got it laid off at Harmonic's today and that's 2086 02:15:22.399 --> 02:15:26.720 a yesterday, and that's a bummer. That's bad news. It is restructuring, 2087 02:15:26.880 --> 02:15:31.039 putting people on different stuff. They're basically or out of or out entirely 2088 02:15:31.880 --> 02:15:39.840 new called Juarez announced Modern Era. It'll be gritty, modern era cowboys like 2089 02:15:39.000 --> 02:15:43.239 wild West game. But they actually say there are modern cowboys or anything in 2090 02:15:43.319 --> 02:15:46.560 it, or is it just set in ware? Is this guy? This 2091 02:15:46.600 --> 02:15:48.840 guy has a cowboy hat on, but then the girl behind him is like 2092 02:15:48.920 --> 02:15:54.000 wearing you know, shooting sunglasses. Yeah, that's like yellow some sort of 2093 02:15:54.039 --> 02:15:56.199 like border militia stuff going on, like this is getting I don't know, 2094 02:15:56.319 --> 02:16:01.079 Like he's wearing like a duster and scarrel he main do just looks like a 2095 02:16:01.159 --> 02:16:03.159 cowboy, like we's wearing a duster, but then also like a flak jacket 2096 02:16:03.239 --> 02:16:05.960 underneath it. And then also he's got a cowboy hat on. But then 2097 02:16:07.119 --> 02:16:15.439 a big pump action shot gun. Yeah, gritty, Yeah, I don't 2098 02:16:15.439 --> 02:16:20.239 know. That's drugs. Yeah, probably right, drugs or human smugglings that 2099 02:16:20.720 --> 02:16:28.479 hotel okay, drugs, drugs taken to play? Nah. I thought there 2100 02:16:28.479 --> 02:16:33.399 will be horses, so that'll be different. That's true, all right, 2101 02:16:33.479 --> 02:16:37.639 Yeah, that's it.

Hey, Bomb squad, So 2119 02:18:05.639 --> 02:18:09.280 he just got back from the Capcom Fight Club event here in downtown LA where 2120 02:18:09.319 --> 02:18:13.479 they were showing off Marvel versus Capcom three and Seth Killian has a message for 2121 02:18:13.600 --> 02:18:18.319 you, guys.
