I really started focusing in the last 73 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.439 week or so on actually getting people to be on the couches scheduling things. 74 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:31.600 If you're like wondering, Hey, who who's going to be at the live 75 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.399 show, it's it's still mostly up in the air, but we have some 76 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:38.639 big names that are in the talks to make that happen. I will say 77 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.439 maybe the most important name, Patrick Kleppik, did say he would probably be 78 00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:44.360 able to do the live show.

Emma five gotten me on deck. She's got she's got my back, 104 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.160 and she's longer than any of us at this point, exactly exactly. 105 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:34.399 She's just like, jan shut the fuck up. She's so polite, she's 106 00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:38.600 not gonna say that, but I know there's a thought back there of like 107 00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:42.600 I got this dog, I got this chill chill, chill, homie. 108 00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:47.040 Uh. We we need like twelve more Emma's just to fully encapsulate how we 109 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:55.079 should have we are. We are of a big dog Emma for years and 110 00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:59.000 literally constantly in awe of her. She's always just like, oh, yeah, 111 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.079 I know how to do that, and then she does know how to 112 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:07.279 do that about everything. It's crazy. Also, I feel like Emma occupies 113 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:11.439 like Fudge, what is what's his name? In Alan Wake the Janitor. 114 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.439 She occupies that space in my brain where it's like, oh, you just 115 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.040 have the keys to this whole place and then this other place and alright, 116 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:28.120 yeah, let's go dog she's got with anyone else. Yeah, I don't 117 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:33.279 worry about it exactly exactly, and just like I'm not worrying about this podcast 118 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.720 because what comes next is, you know, video games, That's what's up. 119 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:41.840 Actually, I have something to talk about that. It is not a 120 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:52.559 video game again, Scout that that's your fault that you knock that over. 121 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.879 Okay, this is He's like, stay on topic this okay, yeah, 122 00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:01.759 Scout accountability. Let's when Scout Scout gets going, that fool does not stop. 123 00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:05.799 Yeah, okay, Scout, I swear all right, I'll move the 124 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.559 way, okay, all right, hold on someone else? Sure, Yeah. 125 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.039 I hope he talks about disc golf. Not that I'm looking at the 126 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.000 rundown or anything like that, but that would be what's what is the deal? 127 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.360 What? Why is? Why is disc golf on here? Who's been 128 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.360 playing disc golf? It's a popular thing. I think she's about to come 129 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.799 at us with And you've been playing disc golf for real, for real? 130 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.759 I mean, obviously, here's golf for real, for real. Surprising. 131 00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.960 Let's walk that surprising. No, I'm with Bailey, that's not surprising. 132 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.159 Dog. I've been trying to go get disc golfing with Jake here in the 133 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.240 Bay Area for so long. So now that you are in on it, 134 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:48.120 we like. Dog. You just get slammered, throw a bunch of Frisbees 135 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.480 all over the place. Hopefully get in the hole ao. If not, 136 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.159 it's a golf too. I just want you to know you can get blitch 137 00:09:54.200 --> 00:10:00.159 and play golf. That's fine. I think clubs and and tea times and 138 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:05.399 fucking green or fees for whatever the fun and then dress dis golf free is 139 00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:13.120 free. Yes, you just walk into a park and you can have you 140 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.240 have you ever eaten at a restaurant? What do they serve you on a 141 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.600 plate that could be a disc? You can toss them ships for free. 142 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.080 It is the implication that golf is better because it has a history of exclusionary 143 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:33.679 practices. As I wanted to know just where the ven diagram didn't overlap, 144 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.799 maybe purely on the name it would be. It's an open public park with 145 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:41.840 disc golf and like a sign that just says no Jews is in my head 146 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:50.159 and that's really funny, Like what what's even happening here? Okay? Uh? 147 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:56.440 The games? Yeah, pivott have coffee. This golf is a game. 148 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.720 This golf is a game. So my partner was doing a school event 149 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.639 over the weekend and someone had set up a little disc golf course. One 150 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.919 of her, the more senior teachers, one of the white teachers, had 151 00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:13.840 a disc golf set blow and behold, and I was like, whoa, 152 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:18.919 I've never played disc golf, but I love frisbee and I tried it out 153 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:26.799 and guess what, I'm fucking amazing at disc So like is it eighteen holes? 154 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:28.080 Like how's it work? Like I don't know, it's like a big 155 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:31.240 chain thing, like that's what the hole is, right. Yeah. I 156 00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.080 didn't really ask for the rules, but then, like every I kept stepping 157 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:39.639 away progressively further and further and throwing the specific discs and I'm like, I'm 158 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.919 kidding this shit like night Time's out of dead. I feel amazing. Yeah, 159 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:50.120 question potentially answer, are there different Frisbees for different scenarios. There's a 160 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.960 driver and stuff, right, that's kind of cool. Yes, yeah, 161 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.960 do you have like a fanny pack for all of these discs or how does 162 00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.360 this work? You know, it's just like a good like h bow and 163 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:05.240 arrow. No, I don't. I don't have a quiver or a caddy. 164 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:07.480 That's what scouts for. She just carries the other discs. This is 165 00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:11.759 this is just like the Goosebumps Bookship of Goals, where it's a give yourself 166 00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:16.200 Goosebumps books. So there's like you can do the excursions and you can choose 167 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.080 this, and if you choose to do mini golf, you get it turns 168 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.720 out you're secretly so good at mini golf that the villain who was chasing you 169 00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:26.200 is like super impressed and wants to be your sports agent. And that's how 170 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.960 the book ends. Well, you pick, so that's like the ending you 171 00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.759 chose, but in real life. And that's really cool because there's another ending 172 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:35.919 in that book where you can starve to death in a closet and it's really 173 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:45.240 great duality of man, it's awesome. Dirty dirty, Dirty Irty, which 174 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:46.720 is a great name. In one of our chats, says, I have 175 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:54.559 a bag with twenty four discs when I play, because even a full golf 176 00:12:54.600 --> 00:13:01.360 club bag is like, I don't know, fifteen every day year. That's 177 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.399 that's wild. We gotta go. Let's go, because there's a course, 178 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.440 a very famous, infinite infamous course in Golden Gate Park. But also I 179 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:13.360 hear from the East Bay homies that Free Easy has also got a really good 180 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:18.080 course out there. Ye Deep Space got some ship going on there too. 181 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.679 I have been.

Oh no, you don't want that. Well, 197 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:24.919 I'm not gonna be a running mane. I could be your campaign manager because 198 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.480 I used to. Yeah, you're tall enough for that, like your vice 199 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.000 mayor or anything. He can. He can help fly for me where I 200 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:35.000 can't reach. Exactly.

It's gonna hurt my mayoral campaign. It 207 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:11.039 took me eleven and a half hours to beat it. That's what you call 208 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.000 are you walking funny? Now? What does that mean? I'm so sorry? 209 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:20.720 No one call? Do you need a doctor? Do you need medical 210 00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:26.799 attention? Sean, get that added to the soundboard please if you oh, 211 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:33.039 okay, you finished the game, even you beat the game in eleven hours? 212 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.919 Yes I didn't. How I didn't do any of the side stuff. 213 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.399 You've only ever beaten two games, and this is one of them. That's 214 00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:46.960 congregulation and they're both Korean games. That's fine, that's that's great. You 215 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:52.879 know what was the other one? Well? Yeah, it's a very very 216 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:58.200 equally sexy protagonist in that one. Facts. Oh yeah, he also changes 217 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:02.639 his hair in that game. Later in the game. We chatted at length 218 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:07.799 with our homie Amron. Khan shouts out to pros and cons last Friday during 219 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:12.440 BCR about uh, Stellar Blade and a lot of my feelings echo Sean and 220 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:21.200 Amron's feelings from the from completing that game, and uh, it is a 221 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:23.159 lot of flash in the pan and just like not a lot of substance. 222 00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:29.559 Have you ever gone to Benny Hanna and they do the flaming volcano the onion 223 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:37.519 volcany on Earth in America? Right? And then like you think, oh 224 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:40.879 cool, why'd you do all that? Is there anything? Are we gonna 225 00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:42.600 eat these onions? Now? Oh? You just put all those onions away? 226 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:45.919 Yeah? Like, oh, okay, cool, this was just for 227 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:52.120 show. Anytime I've ever been to Benny Hanna and they do the they just 228 00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:56.919 put them away. Oh, I think they're using that in the thing. 229 00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:00.519 I think that's part of the thing you got. I understand the analogy still 230 00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:04.960 though, Jane, I get it. Thank you for yes. And I 231 00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:11.240 didn't know I was with some hibachi enthusiasts today. A bachi is gonna be 232 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.839 on yours s man time. But Mike does or did believe that Disney invented 233 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:19.599 hibachi except the first place. No, but you know what that like. 234 00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:26.440 Honestly, for all of Manani's bullshit, that is a decently okay suggestions the 235 00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:33.400 first time. It's just a funny thing to say in public. Allow that 236 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:38.319 in the heartbeat. Yeah, But after completing the game, I I just 237 00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:42.240 didn't think about it anymore. And I think I stopped thinking about how Eve 238 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:48.559 was even like scantily clad throughout the game, and it just stopped being a 239 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:52.519 thing in my brain. About halfway through, I took Sean's suggestion in gearing 240 00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:57.319 up even a specific way to have her attack differently and just be a little 241 00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:02.839 bit faster, because if you play that demo, you were going to go 242 00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:07.839 in thinking that is a hardcore souls like Gata. By the end of it 243 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:12.880 walking away, my feelings were very similar to Shan's where it started feeling like 244 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.200 a Devil May Cry game, not quite to the levels of like DMC three 245 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:22.000 or even the latest Devil May Cry, but like something close enough, where 246 00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:26.960 Eve is kind of just anime like Zippity Do dying all over the place. 247 00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:30.799 Oh God, man, naw, he's infected my brain. You're just excited 248 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:33.279 about Disney. I'm just excited about Disney because you know we're gonna you know, 249 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:37.319 the crew is gonna try and go to Disneyland during the shifts as well. 250 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:41.640 Michael, you could come to let me know, just hit me up. 251 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:51.279 But I think my general feelings still remain the same way. This is 252 00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:56.880 a completely okay game. I don't think this is gonna be like a barn 253 00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:00.119 Burner that is going to change a bunch of things. Desp how portions of 254 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.599 the Internet are trying to rally or were trying to rally behind this game. 255 00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:07.599 Yeah, fucking Gate. I mean that stuff is like already like over because 256 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:11.119 they turned against the game because of all the stuff, were like, oh, 257 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:12.880 they added more fabric to these costumes, so it's like, okay, 258 00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:15.799 they we're just losing their mind to begin with, and this is the proof, 259 00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:21.000 so right, I know, more fabric thenersons. There they are, 260 00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:26.319 I know, Gooner's Rights are conners just like rally behind something and it's just 261 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.480 kind of mediocre and inoffensive. Like it kind of reminds you of like when 262 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:33.960 Alita Battle Angel came out at the same time as Birds of Prey and they 263 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:37.359 were like, well, this has to be our movie because the other one's 264 00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.799 too feminists and Alita Battle Angels like fine, but it's not good. But 265 00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:45.680 they had to just be like our movie. Now. They were so behind 266 00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:48.720 it and like all right, guys, like, good for you. I 267 00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:53.160 guess I'm glad you got one. I suppose it's definitely more the worst of 268 00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:59.599 the two movies, but congrats, and hey, you know the game now 269 00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:03.720 audio version? Yeah, good for them. I kind of look at Stellar 270 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.640 Blade. I don't know why these are the two like pillars of like the 271 00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:11.920 range of these kinds of games that I that surround this. But hear me 272 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:18.039 out for a second, it's not as bad as like a bullet witch was. 273 00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.880 Remember this again, I'm going back a little bit bullet right, But 274 00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:27.920 I enjoyed more than Dark Sector. Oh okay, And I know there are 275 00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:32.720 different games and you're just gonna have to like live with that and understand that. 276 00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:36.279 I guess, like wet is also in the conversation too, a little 277 00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:41.079 bit wet, but like that's what, that's how. And I think there's 278 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.359 something special about this type of game where it's not this like massive blockbuster thing, 279 00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:49.920 but it's also totally serviceable and competent and just like fun to play. 280 00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:52.640 And there's a certain kind of game where like I just want to go to 281 00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.839 it and like have it be, have it work, have it look pretty, 282 00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:00.039 have it be fun, and and to the point where I haven't lost 283 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:04.559 interest. But the second I turn off my PlayStation, I have totally forgotten 284 00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:08.519 about it, Like, without a doubt, it has no lasting memory whatsoever. 285 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:12.400 There's something special about this type of game I feel like we haven't been 286 00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:15.079 getting in a very long time. It's fast. It's fast food to a 287 00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:18.960 certain extent, right, That's what I thought when Janifers said, like, 288 00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:21.720 you know, it's a flash in the pan, but it's got no substance. 289 00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:22.359 I'm like, yeah, I love that kind of stuff. Taco Bell, 290 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.079 give me a ton of it. I'll eat that. Are you Are 291 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:27.519 you glad you spent eleven and a half hours on a jan or do you 292 00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:30.240 regret it at all? Because I'm like, I'm still thinking about it. 293 00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:37.240 I feel like, I'm you may not have been the best use of my 294 00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:42.480 time considering all that well, considering all the other games out there, because 295 00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:48.839 I was probably halfway through Tales of Canzara, and according to Greb that's also 296 00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:52.119 like about eleven twelve ish hours, that's right, I think so. Yeah, 297 00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:56.039 and that is a story that is like emotionally pulling me through. I 298 00:21:56.079 --> 00:22:00.720 had to put it down because it was actually like kind of hit too close 299 00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:03.000 to home at certain points. Yeah, for me, stuff really hits that. 300 00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:06.000 I was like, Okay, well, let's check out the game with 301 00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:15.200 the vagina bones or lack of vagina Boneschris and I if this was not a 302 00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:18.200 seventy dollars title, it would be an easy recommend if this was something that 303 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:22.599 was available on game pass. I know it's not because it's published by Sony, 304 00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:29.440 then easy, easy recommend to to just like blast your way through the 305 00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:32.759 game. That being said, I didn't explore any of the side content. 306 00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:36.640 I kind of just main quest, main quest, main quest, and after 307 00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:41.039 a while I kind of just tuned out of any and all of the uh 308 00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:47.079 cutscenes because just like I didn't care what was happening. Yeah, I mean 309 00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:49.000 exactly, Yeah, yeah, I just don't. I don't feel like that 310 00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:53.640 is as much as like they want to compare to themselves or the comparison to 311 00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:56.920 her. It's just that's just not what that game is trying to do. 312 00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:03.599 So not that I give it a pass for not having interesting story content whatever, 313 00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:04.400 but if you're not bothered by it, you're not bothered by it, 314 00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:07.799 right, I'm not bothered by that either. Yeah, So it's just like 315 00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:11.359 emphasis on different parts of the game and so, uh like I don't necessarily 316 00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.920 think it needs to be like near or have a story like that, but 317 00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:18.319 if you are looking for that, then you ain't gonna find it here. 318 00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:22.079 Yeah, yeah, you were not going to find that here. I was 319 00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:27.839 also less than impressed with the fishing mini game in this, and then it 320 00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:36.359 was like, no, it's not that it's bad. It's just like okay, 321 00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:40.960 like you guys are just going for near here because the fishing mini game 322 00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:44.400 and near. I also thought about this weekend, what if I got really 323 00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:48.839 into fishing. Huh, you can realize I see disc golf for you. 324 00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:51.279 I don't see fishing for you don't see fishing. Where would where would we 325 00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:56.039 go fishing? What's like the hot fishing spot out well? Actually, grub 326 00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:02.319 there is a fly fishing place in Golden Gate Park. Michael, you know, 327 00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:06.039 we gotta go to Pacifica, Pacifica Pier. We got to hang out 328 00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:08.960 with all the Tito's, yeah, and the t O's out there, yeah, 329 00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:12.319 and just cast our line and then we just bicking back being bull you 330 00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:15.480 know, just sitting on some's been on some bruise. Listen. Fishing fishing 331 00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:18.759 out in Pacifica sounds like some real uncle ship. So oh yeah, yeah, 332 00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:22.599 it's some real uncle ship. It's it's some real uncle ship because like 333 00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:26.799 that's what my pop. Oh, let's let's go. I looked I have 334 00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:30.559 a fishing license from a year ago. I don't know why. Guy, 335 00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:33.039 Yeah, you need to get fishing. I think I think it might be 336 00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:37.240 a California thing. But back when I state, Yeah, when I worked 337 00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:40.000 at a sporting goods store, we sold a lot of fishing licenses. Like 338 00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:45.039 that was like one of our pillars of our of our business. I remember 339 00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:48.799 why I got the fishing license. It's because I was just grabbing a bunch 340 00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:52.319 of sea urchins from the shore. And you can keep them. You can 341 00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:57.240 keep them, you can catch up to thirty sea urchin. They actually they 342 00:24:57.319 --> 00:25:02.839 actively want people to take the sea urchins away from the shore because to control 343 00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:06.200 the population. Yeah, are they the edible kind like like UNI type ship? 344 00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:07.960 Oh yeah, baby, you those bad boys open and you get some 345 00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:11.000 free Unie. I don't know if I want to eat anything out of the 346 00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:18.640 out of out of the ocean down here, don't maybe cost doing some math 347 00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:21.839 right now and how much I've paid for Unie through my life, like okay, 348 00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:25.599 thirty bucks, Bailey, we live in the same state, we do, 349 00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:30.640 Uh, Michael. It's also the good water because it's like Foster City 350 00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:33.599 water, so for sure for like you know South Bay water where y yeah, 351 00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:37.680 we got the t Bell canteena down there too. Oh yeah, oh 352 00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:42.119 yeah yeah. Uh. Speaking about fishing and the sea and how dirty it 353 00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:45.079 is, the game that I also checked out and Grub you checked this out 354 00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:51.559 for a little bit last week another Crabs Treasure. Uh yeah, this this 355 00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:52.880 is a complete surprise for me, Grub, because this is not the game 356 00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:56.559 I was expecting. I was expecting like a kind of mascot three D platformer. 357 00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:02.440 Oh right, boy, it's not no, not at all. They 358 00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:04.960 weren't like I feel like they weren't hiding this though, right, like now, 359 00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:08.039 yeah, you just put it in that basket and then didn't think about 360 00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:11.039 it, Like how could you not see this and be like, oh, 361 00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:14.799 it's a SpongeBob platform er. Like well, because I just never I never 362 00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:18.200 explored it other than just seeing another Crabs treasure. I'm like, okay, 363 00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:22.160 cool, right I am. When I saw this last year, I was 364 00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:23.960 like, Okay, I get it, and I think the thing for me 365 00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:27.279 when I played it a little bit I did on stream that really hit me 366 00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:33.279 is, oh, they really understand the joke that they're telling everything really is 367 00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.000 is quite funny in terms of the presentation of hey, you are a little 368 00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:40.880 sea creature and there's so much human trash in this ocean that it's become their 369 00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:44.279 currency. And now here's like seven different riffs on that in a couple of 370 00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:48.720 minutes that all are pretty well done jokes. So I'm like, Okay, 371 00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:51.599 this is a good sign for an any depth when they have a good handle 372 00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:55.119 on the thing that they're going for and they're not overdoing it. They're they're 373 00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:57.400 like deploying it in a strategic way and it actually does it. And then 374 00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:02.559 the souls borne stuff is pretty good as well. It's one of those things 375 00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:03.279 where it's like, Okay, I have to spend some time with the game 376 00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:07.680 to fully understand the conversation it's trying to have with the player, like when 377 00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:10.720 do you want me to perry? When do you want me to dodge? 378 00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:14.279 And should I be like trying to get up in that ass of every enemy 379 00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:18.279 or should I be falling back? Should I be blocking more? Should should 380 00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:19.640 I be going for perfect paris? These are things I have to feel out 381 00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:23.079 a little bit more with this game, but by all sort of signs that 382 00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:26.319 I've seen from it so far, it seems like it has a pretty good 383 00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:30.119 grasp on that as well. How are you finding it? I find the 384 00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:34.440 thing that's appealing to me the most is that the writing has done very well 385 00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:41.960 and it is very easy to be too jokey with your dialogue and any of 386 00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:45.079 your cut scenes. And I feel like it is riding the line very very 387 00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:48.400 well. It's riding the waves very very well. It's surfing through, it's 388 00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:56.920 cruising through where it is not too cheesy in terms of like, ha ha, 389 00:27:56.079 --> 00:28:00.960 look at all this pollution. The world's fucked. It's kind of funny, 390 00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:04.720 and it is not like pushing that too much. There's points where when 391 00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:08.599 you do fail, like a Boston Counter. And we actually experienced this during 392 00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:14.720 the stream last week Greb where unfortunately this is just a byproduct of there being 393 00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:18.880 only so much dialogue for boss characters, but you were just hearing the same 394 00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:22.880 dialogue over and over again as you're failing those missions or those Boston counters. 395 00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:26.359 That what I wound up doing is that I just kept the gun on me. 396 00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:30.640 That keep that on you. Yeah, I kept that thang on me. 397 00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:33.559 Oh my god. So the gun just for people who are unaware, 398 00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:37.240 is an accessibility option. So this is a straight up souls Born. It 399 00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:41.720 wants you to to learn the very difficult fighting system being able to overcome these 400 00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:45.640 enemies. You know, don't get too greedy going there for two hits. 401 00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:48.319 Then Murtry that sort of game. And then if you go the accessibility options, 402 00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:52.359 if you click on give me a Gun, it just gives you a 403 00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.039 gun that becomes the crabs shell, and then you can shoot things and kill 404 00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:00.440 them in one hit and it's incredible. It looks so stupid. Yeah, 405 00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:04.920 it's the fucking big ass, fucking nineteen eleven strapped to its back that's like 406 00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:10.839 five times its size. It's very cute. Yeah, so whenever I get 407 00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:14.799 frustrated with a Boston Counter, I would just like put my controller down and 408 00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:18.759 just just pop them. Yeah, like look all right, just like any 409 00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:22.559 crab would do. Yeah, have you you know, I don't know if 410 00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:25.799 you all have done this growing up, but have you ever like played with 411 00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:30.519 the crabs at a grocery store? Those things are vicious, I'm sorry, 412 00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:33.799 play played with them, played with them, But I've the ones. I've 413 00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:40.359 seen the tank. So they'll have like they'll have blue crabs just like in 414 00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:45.039 in like crates in front of you, like not like the dungeonus stuff or 415 00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:49.680 the big big crabs like dead and you're like making their little clip. They're 416 00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:56.039 alive. Okay, I don't know. Okay, So yeah, in Ohio 417 00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:59.799 they aren't shipping in live Crab. So no, I've not done this. 418 00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:03.039 Hey, let's go to Seafood City and go chill with the crabs, like, 419 00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:06.000 oh hell yeah, the thought of doing like so they didn't have that 420 00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:08.200 kind of crab where I grow like where I grow with lobster. There's there's 421 00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:11.240 lobster. Yeah, there's lobster tanks. Yeah, but you can't. I 422 00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:15.880 can't go oh yeah and play with them. Person would start messing around with 423 00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:18.440 those. Well, they got the rubber bands on their clothes. I did 424 00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:22.480 want to play with them, they just wouldn't let me. Yeah, okay, 425 00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:26.000 but I highly recommend another Crabs Treasure if you were looking for a Soul's 426 00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:33.920 like game that it apparently has optional bosses that you can face through certain circumstances. 427 00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:37.079 I have no idea. I think I'm going to stick with it because 428 00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:41.720 I want to save the ocean. Speaking about shooting things, Chef Grubb, 429 00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:47.359 many shoot adventures, Yeah, many shoot adventures. We talked about this in 430 00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:49.119 a few places. Now it's the one the game that Dan told me about. 431 00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:56.960 It is a dual stick shooter Zelda game, and it is most similar 432 00:30:56.000 --> 00:31:02.640 to the original Zelda and that there's very minimal dialogue, there's a little bit 433 00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:04.279 of direction. They do kind of put a waypoint on your map saying you're 434 00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:07.759 supposed to go here. I guess that's pretty similar like something like a Metroid 435 00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:11.000 Prime, where it's like, hey, your goal is here, figure out 436 00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:14.160 how to get there, and you're gonna get lost a lot, and when 437 00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:17.319 you discover where you're supposed to go or discover a secret, it feels really 438 00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:21.119 cool. Like any good Zelda game, I am really digging this. I 439 00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:25.519 think I'm getting pretty near the end. I think they just get everything right. 440 00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:29.400 So it is like a dual stick shooter in that all of the combat 441 00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:36.079 scenarios end up feeling like bullet hell and that like just dodging around the bullets 442 00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:37.599 and as they come at you, and there's you know, there are various 443 00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:41.279 sizes and there are various speeds, so you have to like be really paying 444 00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:45.480 attention to the point where it's like I'm almost always focused on where my ship 445 00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:48.519 is at, and then i have the general idea of where the enemies are 446 00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:51.359 at, and I'm firing in that direction, but I'm just trying to stay 447 00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:53.440 alive because that's more important. If you take hits, you're gonna die pretty 448 00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:57.599 quick in the game, and that feeling of being in the thick of it 449 00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:02.039 and just barely scraping by as like a giant you know, enemy attack comes 450 00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:06.359 by and you and you kind of just grace along the side of it, 451 00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:08.599 and then you know several smaller bullets are coming and you dodge back and forth 452 00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:12.000 between those, and then as you're doing that, you can hear like the 453 00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:15.119 pop of killing an enemy. That's a really cool feeling. And you add 454 00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:20.759 in like a really good upgrade system, whereas you're you're killing enemies, you're 455 00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:23.559 getting these little tokens that go into it like a diamond thing, and as 456 00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:27.200 that fills up, that gives you a point to spend on your skill tree. 457 00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:30.400 And like the skills are like shoot faster, shoot farther, do more 458 00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:34.880 damage, You make your ship faster, make your boosts go faster, and 459 00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:37.519 as you unlock new abilities from the dungeons, you can upgrade those as well, 460 00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:42.559 and all this stuff just like feeds into one another to keep you wanting 461 00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:45.440 to explore in this world that is really well thought out, and it's just 462 00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:47.599 a cute little look like looking game. It's not trying to be gloomy or 463 00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:51.440 anything. Like that. It's looks a lot like link to the past, 464 00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:53.640 but you know, HD and with a ship instead of a person. I 465 00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:58.319 just I can't recommend this enough. It is really really good. Why is 466 00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:02.400 there an apostrophe after the Yeah? Okay, so I wonder if it's like 467 00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:06.160 there's like shooting, they're shortening the word, but that doesn't make sense like 468 00:33:06.200 --> 00:33:09.680 many shooting adventures and like that doesn't really work. So I don't I actually 469 00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:14.240 don't know why there's an apostrophe at the end of They made a mistake, 470 00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:17.039 they just decided to commit to it. Yeah, I think so too for 471 00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:23.119 them. Sometimes I feel like a typo that is weird from Taylor Swift album. 472 00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:28.880 God, her lyrics are just so good that could be anywhere. That's 473 00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:31.440 all. It's just wonder's right. Yeah, tell us how you really feel, 474 00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:38.599 Bailey. Oh, I couldn't possibly, I'll get death threats. I 475 00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:44.119 mean, being a Swiftie is very a very very hard, serious business man. 476 00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:47.960 Fuck it's it's very hellish, just like the world of Shin mcgummy ten. 477 00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:53.599 Say it's five vengeance and I believe you are allowed to talk about this 478 00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:58.079 now. I am eighteen minutes ago. Yeah, it fifteen minutes ago, 479 00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:04.000 the embargo lifted for SMT five Vengeance, which is the re release of SMT 480 00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:07.759 five. If you know about like Persona five, Royal, Persona three e 481 00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:13.119 Fess or like Catherine full Body, Strange Journey, Reducks, like all this, 482 00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:16.039 all these Atlas always does their re releases right, right, and so 483 00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:20.679 they're doing that for SMT five, which I don't think they have. I 484 00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:24.199 mean, they did it for Strange Journey, but it's mainline SMT has been. 485 00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:28.679 This game came out in twenty twenty one, is like the first time 486 00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:30.800 we've seen SMT in a very long time. So it's really cool that we're 487 00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:36.159 getting a royal addition essentially for SMT five. I like that game a lot, 488 00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:39.079 but there's also a lot of avenues in which it can could have improved 489 00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:44.000 or done more, and that's exactly what this is doing. So I played 490 00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:47.079 a short demo of it that was all of the new content. Like the 491 00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:53.280 first half of my playable demo went through a like like an hour chunk that 492 00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:58.800 was the original game from the original game, but shows you how the original 493 00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:01.440 game has been tweaked with like a new character, new boss fights, new 494 00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:06.039 story beats, and then the second half was another hour of like all completely 495 00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:08.440 like a new area, new demons, all this other shit, and I 496 00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:12.760 like what they're doing with this. So the way it works is that you 497 00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:15.840 could still play through the game through its original route, but there comes a 498 00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:19.719 point in which you can choose a completely different route, which is called the 499 00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:24.679 Vengeance Path, and it kind of takes a pretty sharp turn in different directions 500 00:35:25.079 --> 00:35:29.000 and starts to show you all kinds of new stuff. I'd also did an 501 00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:34.519 interview with Atlas the week prior. They said there's seventy five hours worth of 502 00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:37.599 new content. That game was seventy five hours already. I don't know if 503 00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:39.679 I fully believe them. I think they're just be like, well, much 504 00:35:39.719 --> 00:35:43.480 of that is like the same game, but we've tweaked this, so technically 505 00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:49.639 it's new, but this is a significant chunk of new content because it's the 506 00:35:49.679 --> 00:35:52.559 story is going in a very different direction. They have a new character. 507 00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:58.239 Her name is Yoko, and she's part of the party almost the entire time, 508 00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:00.119 So like this having this new care. They've done this for other re 509 00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:02.760 releases, like in Royal, where they inserted a new character, but you 510 00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:07.880 can tell that they are trying to be clever about, you know, not 511 00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:13.320 having to re record other characters' voice lines by slotting them into this conversation having 512 00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:16.239 them say something that isn't like too consequential to everything else. So they do 513 00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:20.960 a little bit of that, but then they have this whole dedicated storyline, 514 00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:24.719 these dedicated cut scenes and different plot threads that revolve around her as a new 515 00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:29.559 character in the party. So I think they are it seems like they're going 516 00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:34.719 the extra vile to justify having a re release, and I'm fascinated by a 517 00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:37.960 story. I love Mainline SMT. I think it's it's a good contrast to 518 00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:40.920 Persona. I feel like a lot of people have gotten onto Atlas's RPGs through 519 00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:46.800 Persona and haven't necessarily thought of Mainline SMT all that much because there hasn't been 520 00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:51.199 I mean, unless you played the three DS games or the re release of 521 00:36:51.239 --> 00:36:53.920 three there just hasn't been that much for SMT. So I'm glad that they 522 00:36:53.920 --> 00:37:00.239 are kind of investing more in that series because it's cool as fuck, Like 523 00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:02.559 SNT is metal as fuck. That shit is rat as hell. Man, 524 00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:08.800 Like there's sad, it's sad, not sad, it's more like existentialism type 525 00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:15.000 shit, because it's all about like religion and theology and the warring ideologies and 526 00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:20.159 how that like fucks up the whole world and then the like there's a certain 527 00:37:20.199 --> 00:37:23.440 attitude about SNT like that I that I like, you know, persona always 528 00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:30.119 like pulls out your heartstrings, really cares about character development and as you live 529 00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:34.039 someone else's life, and it really experienced what it's like to be in that 530 00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:37.679 character's shoes, and it's very emotional as like naw, fuck that shit. 531 00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:40.440 We're going hard. We got like fucking hardcore metal playing in the background. 532 00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:45.199 We're fighting demons. We're fighting other devils with their titties out and shit, 533 00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:50.920 Yo, if you want to talk about like like hot character designs in a 534 00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:54.519 game, sm T five's new demons are on another level. Dog Like, 535 00:37:55.119 --> 00:38:00.480 I'm I'm in love with some of these new devils and demons in this there. 536 00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:02.760 I can fix them. I know I can fix them. Don't probably 537 00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:07.960 kill me before anything else, but I damn well, we'll try. Yeah. 538 00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:09.119 Yeah, that's the thing is that you can kill me. It's fine. 539 00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:15.000 Yeah, I'm kind of How are you feeling, like, are you 540 00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:17.599 glad that this is the way that the Atlas does these sort of expansions as 541 00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:21.599 these big standalone updates where you kind of have to play through the whole game 542 00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:23.599 again. There's clearly a benefit to it. How do you feel about it? 543 00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:28.559 Listen, I'm a mark. Yeah, I think that's what it lasting. 544 00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:30.519 Yeah yeah, yeah, no, And like someone a lot of people 545 00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:36.039 have al like have bring brought that up, and I think there's it's I 546 00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:37.920 think it's a fair thing to be like, what the fuck? Like, 547 00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:42.119 oh, two three years later, you're gonna release a new version of the 548 00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:45.920 game that is that feels like the full version of a game, and you're 549 00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:49.960 gonna charge me another sixty dollars for it. I mean another sixty dollars in 550 00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:53.679 a three year span. Listen, there's some broke boys out there. Listen, 551 00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:58.039 get your get your money up. First off. Now, I'm just 552 00:38:58.079 --> 00:39:01.320 kidding us, fucked up. But what I think is you ever work on 553 00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:06.639 a creative project and then you have to hit a deadline, like I need 554 00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:09.599 to get this done on this day, and unfortunately we're going to have to 555 00:39:09.880 --> 00:39:13.159 cut certain things that I wish I could put in there. I just don't 556 00:39:13.199 --> 00:39:16.719 have time or the mental energy or the capacity to include this in a way 557 00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:20.280 that makes sense. So at least I'm going to cut it and I'm just 558 00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:23.280 gonna this is the thing that I'm going to put out into the world because 559 00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:27.519 I have to. And then you ever take a step back and look at 560 00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:29.559 it and be like, damn, I wish you did this, wish it 561 00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:31.440 did that. If I had more time, I can incorporate this thing that 562 00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:36.239 I had to cut and then so like, yes, it is. People 563 00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:39.199 can call like a like a cash grab whatever. But I think Alice has 564 00:39:39.239 --> 00:39:45.320 been good about justifying those re releases by the way they insert that new content. 565 00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:49.400 And I like, I play a game once and then three years later, 566 00:39:49.400 --> 00:39:52.559 I want to revisit it. I think that's I think that for me 567 00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:57.480 at least, that's worth doing because you know, I my perspective changes, 568 00:39:57.639 --> 00:40:00.079 things happen in my life. Especially with Atlas. RPGs are about like these 569 00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:04.159 big questions about life and shit. It's like it's nice to come back to 570 00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:07.280 it and reflect on that experience and maybe have a new perspective that you didn't 571 00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:09.719 have otherwise. And then you see the new content on top of that that 572 00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:14.760 kind of like recontextualize what you thought you knew about the game in some smart 573 00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:19.039 ways. And I think, I mean, I have very mixed feelings about 574 00:40:19.079 --> 00:40:22.239 Catherine full Body. I kind of respect that they tried what they tried to 575 00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:25.480 do with that, but I think that is one instance in which they maybe 576 00:40:25.559 --> 00:40:32.280 were probably they were out of their depth with Catherine full Body, That's what 577 00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:37.559 I think. But I think things like Royal things like Reload, which is 578 00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:40.599 a little bit of a different case, and then now with SMT five Vengeance 579 00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:45.320 and like Persona four Golden before that too. I think these are very smart 580 00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:47.400 additions and changes of the game because there's quality of life things too, and 581 00:40:47.400 --> 00:40:52.639 they pourt them to different systems. It's no longer a Switch exclusive, so 582 00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:54.920 I don't have to play this in fucking two forty p at twenty eight frames 583 00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:59.159 per second. This full full four K, sixty fps. I'm like, 584 00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:01.079 yo, this is how I always wanted it to be. So there is 585 00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:05.920 that in addition to porting it, you know, quality life, new content, 586 00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:07.719 and if you want to play the original version of the game, well 587 00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:12.079 yeah now you can too. So uh, this is a at least from 588 00:41:12.079 --> 00:41:15.880 what I've seen so far in my hands on preview, this is kind of 589 00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:21.960 what I want out of an Atlas re release, and I I fucking love 590 00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:25.880 SMT Like I think I wish they would put out four and four Apocalypse again. 591 00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:30.320 I know they did the three remaster, but man, Shinnami tense as 592 00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:35.840 fucking hard. That game is hu. I may need to see a four 593 00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:40.840 K sixtyn and one goal. Oh yeah, so I kind of need to 594 00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:45.079 see that. I need to see the half vampire half that leg lady. 595 00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:51.719 Yeah, just shout out to what's the penis monster's name, Mara? I 596 00:41:51.800 --> 00:42:01.960 was gonna say, Mike Manatti, Damn Mike maa Nadi. Yeah, Yo, 597 00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:07.679 I like it. That dick is so huge, bro, Like it's 598 00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:09.440 on a chick. Like if you played any of the set or Persona games, 599 00:42:09.440 --> 00:42:13.960 you've seen this demon before. But it is like a massive penis on 600 00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:16.239 a cherry penis on legs. It's a green penis with a mouth on it. 601 00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:21.920 Yo. It's one thing I will say, like like top one percent 602 00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:25.119 of only fans right there, girth Master got nothing on Mara. You know 603 00:42:25.119 --> 00:42:29.360 what I'm saying, Like, uh, speaking about demons, Michael, you've 604 00:42:29.400 --> 00:42:34.599 also been playing sand oh San Lan Salem's got demons penis monsters though, Oh 605 00:42:34.760 --> 00:42:39.199 dang on nuts yeah nuts. Toriama didn't want to draw those. Huh no, 606 00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:44.119 well he kept those for himself. Sandlan. I reviewed Sandlan for i 607 00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:47.559 GM give it a six. I don't need to talk too much about it, 608 00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:51.400 then I can. I ask you just real quick, I played the 609 00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:55.039 demo. Did you play the demo before you played the Okay? Is it 610 00:42:55.079 --> 00:42:59.679 that much different than the demo? The full game is much much better than 611 00:42:59.719 --> 00:43:02.199 the dem Okay, because I played the demo, I was like, this 612 00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:07.639 is boring as shit, is not enjoying myself. I have never seen a 613 00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:10.000 worse representation of a game through a demo. I'm glad to hear that. 614 00:43:10.039 --> 00:43:14.400 At least it's like okay, but I mean, okay, so what's different? 615 00:43:14.440 --> 00:43:16.639 Like, what are you doing in the game that is fun? I 616 00:43:16.679 --> 00:43:21.519 mean you you actually go through a store, you have battles to fight, 617 00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:23.719 there are things that actually happen because you pop in the demo and they put 618 00:43:23.760 --> 00:43:29.440 you in a small ass portion of the open region with almost literally nothing to 619 00:43:29.480 --> 00:43:32.880 do. You can like drive around and find enemies in the open but they 620 00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:36.519 literally do not have any story content in the demo, And it's like, 621 00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:39.920 this is a very bad representation of the game because there are there's Sandland is 622 00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:45.199 charming, and I've read the manga. I started watching the anime too after 623 00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:49.119 I played the game. The anime is really really good and the original I 624 00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:53.719 love the original manga because it's a Curatoryama Ripizza the God that was his one 625 00:43:53.719 --> 00:43:59.239 of his side projects, and he just was fascinated with designing vehicles. And 626 00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:02.239 if you look bad at a lot of dragon ball art, they have some 627 00:44:02.519 --> 00:44:07.039 wild ideas for vehicles and that was all Toriama. They're awesome, yeah, 628 00:44:07.079 --> 00:44:08.920 and then so this was kind of his way to just focus on that. 629 00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:14.840 And I think the like, the story of san Land isn't necessarily necessarily complex, 630 00:44:14.920 --> 00:44:15.920 but I think it has I say it has its heart in the right 631 00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:21.159 place because it does tell a story about you know, corrupt governments and the 632 00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:25.440 impacts it has on the people living in society. And like there's a tension 633 00:44:25.480 --> 00:44:29.679 between demons because the demons live in this world, they share the same space. 634 00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:32.360 And then you have humans who are struggling. And then you know Beel's 635 00:44:32.360 --> 00:44:36.239 above, who's the main character you play as, has this heart of gold. 636 00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:37.679 Even though he says like, oh I'm a I'm a badass demon and 637 00:44:37.719 --> 00:44:44.679 I'm gonna like fuck shit up no, he's Taylor swiftlyric. I don't think 638 00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:47.280 Beels above would be a Swiftie, but yeah, it's a It's a pretty 639 00:44:47.480 --> 00:44:52.840 by the by the numbers open world action game. It focuses on vehicles, 640 00:44:52.840 --> 00:44:55.159 and I think the vehicle vehicle combat, Like the vehicle system is very good. 641 00:44:55.239 --> 00:45:00.000 I think they control really well. It's just interesting enough when you up 642 00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:02.440 grade like your tank, your hover bike, or your your motorbike, then 643 00:45:02.440 --> 00:45:06.840 your hover bot and then your jump out. Like there's so many different vehicles 644 00:45:06.840 --> 00:45:09.280 and they all are pretty well thought out and fun to use. I mean, 645 00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:12.760 but they don't give you that many combat challenges, Like a lot of 646 00:45:12.760 --> 00:45:14.920 the enemies you encounter, it's like, well, I'm gonna bust out my 647 00:45:14.920 --> 00:45:19.280 tank and circle around them and splash shots. So it doesn't get creatively challenging, 648 00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:22.360 but there is a good field to just like blowing shit up. I 649 00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:27.920 know the game is called sand Land, but are you primarily just in like 650 00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:30.719 a desert or a waste land all the time. The second half of this 651 00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:35.480 game takes place and what's called forest Land, and if you gather as much 652 00:45:35.519 --> 00:45:37.480 from the name, takes place in a forest, and no spoilers or anything. 653 00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:42.400 I got an idea what's in there? Yeah, because would you say, 654 00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:45.760 this is like kind of like pretty part par for the course for Bandy 655 00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:50.920 Namco and anime games. So you know, they did that one piece game 656 00:45:51.000 --> 00:45:52.280 a couple of years back, and that was like, yeah, it's all 657 00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:55.000 right, okay, right, it's okay, that's what I'm that's what I'm 658 00:45:55.000 --> 00:46:00.199 getting from their efforts in anime games. Yeah, if you've played I see 659 00:46:00.199 --> 00:46:02.679 a lot of DBZ Cakarat in this as well. Like sure, a lot 660 00:46:02.679 --> 00:46:07.280 of the design ethos kind of carries over and it almost has become their template 661 00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:13.960 for anime adaptations, which is I find like Sandland is I like sandal and 662 00:46:13.960 --> 00:46:15.079 a lot. There's a lot of potential there, but I feel like that 663 00:46:15.199 --> 00:46:21.639 format under sells what Sandland as a game could have been. So you can 664 00:46:21.760 --> 00:46:25.119 see that they like have to phone it in on a lot of cutscenes and 665 00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:30.639 so it it feels like there's little to no impact when there is like a 666 00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:34.159 big story event happening. I was like, how they don't really sell you 667 00:46:34.199 --> 00:46:37.400 on the like the importance of that event in the game. It's like, 668 00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:40.239 ah, man, But the manga panels were so good and they communicated so 669 00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:45.639 much and the intensity of the battles, and then like the game itself doesn't 670 00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:49.039 really capture that, and so it's unfortunate. I had a fun time with 671 00:46:49.119 --> 00:46:51.599 it, but it's not something I would recommend to be like, yo, 672 00:46:51.639 --> 00:46:54.000 you need to play this ship right now. It makes me very curious to 673 00:46:54.119 --> 00:47:00.000 how Dragon Ball Sparking zero is going to be, whether it's going to be 674 00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:05.239 like an evolution of Cacroot or kind of another. Is that mostly an arena 675 00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:07.239 fighter? I honestly only pay half attention when it's up, but I got 676 00:47:07.239 --> 00:47:10.719 the sense that it's just like a fighting game, but behind the back. 677 00:47:12.039 --> 00:47:16.719 Yeah, it's because folks got super excited because the words ten kaichi were getting 678 00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:25.280 invoked, So I think it easy behind the back arena ish fighter with hundreds 679 00:47:25.320 --> 00:47:29.840 of characters, says a gender generator and chat and that's a great name. 680 00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:34.719 Yeah, I Sparking zero looks pretty promising, But I'm like, I think 681 00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:36.800 for all these anime games, anime games, I kind of like, I'm 682 00:47:36.800 --> 00:47:39.440 going to set my expectation bar right in the middle, and if you clear 683 00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:44.280 that, I'll be happy. Yeah, that's that's pretty much where I feel 684 00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:50.960 like Sandland would fits into that so well. From Michael navigating the wastelands of 685 00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:57.159 Sandland to Bailey checking out the nuclear wasteland that is Fallout. Yeah, you've 686 00:47:57.159 --> 00:48:01.960 continued. Are you've been streaming this New Vegas right Vegas? Playing NonStop? 687 00:48:02.280 --> 00:48:06.320 Yeah? I love New Vegas, and I like, I have like a 688 00:48:06.360 --> 00:48:08.280 monthly fundraising goal on my stream and if I hit it, I do a 689 00:48:08.320 --> 00:48:13.440 stream athon. And so this last time I hit it and we did it 690 00:48:13.519 --> 00:48:17.159 was like a nine hour Fallout New Vegas stream where I built a character based 691 00:48:17.199 --> 00:48:22.800 on like the Pardon Me the Special stats that Beth as the release for Lucy, 692 00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:25.840 the main character from the Fallout TV show, and so we tried to 693 00:48:25.880 --> 00:48:30.639 like role play as her and make like the decisions she would make. And 694 00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:34.320 I it had to like go in a lot of circles to justify randomly killing 695 00:48:34.360 --> 00:48:36.880 a couple of people, but god, I just really wanted that bottle cap 696 00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:40.199 necklace. You know, It's fine. I was just mostly trying to just 697 00:48:40.280 --> 00:48:44.480 get to New Vegas before the end of the stream so I could play blackjack 698 00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:47.440 because Lucy has a seven luck stat which I've never given a character before. 699 00:48:47.760 --> 00:48:52.199 It was very exciting. I've never played blackjack as a lucky person in real 700 00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:55.159 life or in a game, So it was like really thrilling for me. 701 00:48:55.639 --> 00:49:01.039 But also GameSpot has been doing a lot of Fallout content and I have been 702 00:49:01.239 --> 00:49:07.159 working on that and also on his trailers spoiler alert in one minute. The 703 00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:10.960 honest trailer on Honest Trailers proper not Honest Game Trailers is for the Fallout TV 704 00:49:12.039 --> 00:49:14.639 show, and I wrote on that so like, my life has just been 705 00:49:14.719 --> 00:49:17.239 Fallout, and the next Honest Game trailer is not going to be Fallout, 706 00:49:17.239 --> 00:49:22.159 but the one after it. So you know how on Honest Game trailer has 707 00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:23.800 been going on for like a really long time and I've only been charge of 708 00:49:23.840 --> 00:49:27.400 it for like a year. So sometimes I go through and I'm like, 709 00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:30.440 what classic games have we not covered yet that we could just like have as 710 00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:37.880 backup for months when there's nothing really to talk about. So sometimes I find 711 00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:39.880 an answer I don't want, and in this kind of in this instance, 712 00:49:39.920 --> 00:49:45.639 it was Fallout seventy six, So yeah, we tried. We tried to 713 00:49:45.639 --> 00:49:50.079 play fall Out seventy six on Frida, and I say, tribe it's because 714 00:49:50.159 --> 00:49:53.360 Dan was there and he wasn't having it. So it's like I don't have 715 00:49:53.400 --> 00:49:57.599 a good sense of that game. But everyone else on Earth seems to be 716 00:49:57.679 --> 00:50:00.239 enjoying it. I think the key is to not play with other people, 717 00:50:00.239 --> 00:50:02.440 which is weird for a multiplayer game. I hear it's better now than when 718 00:50:02.440 --> 00:50:06.199 it came out. I did try playing it when it came out and wasn't 719 00:50:06.239 --> 00:50:09.519 a fan. So I it's a hardcore New Vegas fan. I bet it's 720 00:50:09.559 --> 00:50:13.880 not gonna I'm not going to do what you want. It's just very it's 721 00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:16.519 it's very challenging when like that was my first impression of the series, and 722 00:50:16.559 --> 00:50:20.119 like I went on to play like three and four and like check all that 723 00:50:20.159 --> 00:50:22.840 shit out, and I just never you know, I couldn't. I couldn't 724 00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:27.159 get into seventy six. The storytelling, it just isn't there the way it 725 00:50:27.360 --> 00:50:30.639 was in New Vegas. And that's like very important to me in an RPG. 726 00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:34.480 You want good storytelling. That's kind of critical. So us is in 727 00:50:34.559 --> 00:50:38.159 seventy six though, Yeah, Jason mus is there, so is it. 728 00:50:38.320 --> 00:50:45.199 I don't know, Jason, Yes, out the the NPCs that they added 729 00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:50.360 after you played it, Uh, they're there and they have story and I'm 730 00:50:50.400 --> 00:50:52.880 just like, Okay, it's very hard for me to gauge it in a 731 00:50:52.960 --> 00:50:54.440 quick play like that of like whether or not I care about the story or 732 00:50:54.480 --> 00:50:58.039 not, but it does give you stuff to do, and I think that 733 00:50:58.119 --> 00:51:01.239 I like the environment and Fall seventy six. I'll be interested to see how 734 00:51:01.280 --> 00:51:04.559 you feel after playing it. Maybe, Yeah, come back on here and 735 00:51:04.599 --> 00:51:07.400 tell us the results. I'm going to go in with us open in mind 736 00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:09.840 and as open a heart as I can. I always try to with these 737 00:51:09.880 --> 00:51:14.000 games, like I really, anytime I play a game for honest game trailers, 738 00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:15.840 I'm not going in like I can't wait to fucking wreck this thing. 739 00:51:16.320 --> 00:51:20.639 I want to have fun with it. I want to meet it where it 740 00:51:20.719 --> 00:51:23.559 is. I'm not going to like penalize it for not being a game the 741 00:51:23.599 --> 00:51:27.440 game that I want it to be when that's not the game it's trying to 742 00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:31.519 be, because that's bad criticism, frankly. But if a game's bad, 743 00:51:31.519 --> 00:51:35.440 a game's bad, you know. So it's like just I'm gonna try my 744 00:51:35.519 --> 00:51:37.960 best and keep hope in my heart. That's what I'm gonna do. Well, 745 00:51:38.039 --> 00:51:42.719 Bailey, if you need multiplayer companions, perhaps we could pop out of 746 00:51:42.760 --> 00:51:46.400 the vault one more time. Yeah, I don't want to get installed on 747 00:51:46.440 --> 00:51:50.519 my Steam deck and play it here and there after I finished Mini Shit, 748 00:51:50.760 --> 00:51:53.840 so call of a character going, that'll be fun. I tuned in for 749 00:51:53.880 --> 00:51:58.679 that stream as I was being kicked out of my apartment last week. Grub. 750 00:51:59.079 --> 00:52:01.679 I thought, you guys seemed like you were having fun. I think 751 00:52:01.800 --> 00:52:06.039 I think for the most part, we actually were. And I know that 752 00:52:06.079 --> 00:52:08.400 Lucy was it was enjoying the game on her own before that, and then 753 00:52:08.480 --> 00:52:10.320 when we were playing together, she's like, yeah, I could see how 754 00:52:10.360 --> 00:52:15.960 this is fun. I everyone does seem to recommend playing most of it on 755 00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:19.079 your own for the vast majority of it, which is like true of a 756 00:52:19.079 --> 00:52:21.519 lot of MMOs these days. You kind of wait until you're at the end 757 00:52:21.639 --> 00:52:24.679 of the available single player content, then you play the MMO stuff with other 758 00:52:24.719 --> 00:52:29.159 people and do raids or whatever. And that stuff was happening around us, 759 00:52:29.159 --> 00:52:31.679 and they give us the option to go do the public events, but but 760 00:52:31.800 --> 00:52:35.559 yeah, it was it was still like, Okay, I need to do 761 00:52:35.639 --> 00:52:37.519 my story mission, so I'll go in, I'll talk to the person. 762 00:52:37.639 --> 00:52:42.800 You guys can kind of stay by me and maybe hear what we're talking about, 763 00:52:42.920 --> 00:52:45.199 or do your own thing, and that that just doesn't work very well. 764 00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:46.920 So yeah, I would I would play it by yourself first, and 765 00:52:47.000 --> 00:52:50.079 that's what I'm gonna do, So spend a little bit more time with it. 766 00:52:50.119 --> 00:52:53.760 Okay, okay, some some very mature criticism here here at a giant 767 00:52:53.760 --> 00:52:59.320 bomb dot com Vegas. That's a good game. We're gonna be playing more 768 00:52:59.320 --> 00:53:01.639 of that this week. I'm going to be I'm going to be missing the 769 00:53:01.639 --> 00:53:05.159 one this week. I'm so sorry. Oats, all right, too bad, 770 00:53:05.320 --> 00:53:08.840 But I made promises to other people at this company. Yeah, just 771 00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:12.400 send a text message about something you want me to do, and I'll make 772 00:53:12.440 --> 00:53:14.920 poor decisions based on what you say. No problem, Okay, all right, 773 00:53:15.239 --> 00:53:21.599 trust me. He's right, Michael. You also have another game here, 774 00:53:21.880 --> 00:53:24.880 Final Fantasy sixteen The Pricing Tie. Yeah, real quick. That is 775 00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:30.039 probably my last review on game Spot for a good long while. I reviewed 776 00:53:30.039 --> 00:53:32.960 the DLC for Final Fantasy sixteen, which is kind of it's send off. 777 00:53:32.960 --> 00:53:37.920 Also, this is like the last piece of content for sixteen, and I 778 00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:39.079 liked it a lot. I mean, I still have a lot of love 779 00:53:39.119 --> 00:53:43.960 for Final Fantasy sixteen and it was nice to have a reason to come back 780 00:53:44.000 --> 00:53:46.559 to it. This is the second part of their DLC package. The first 781 00:53:46.559 --> 00:53:50.519 one, Echoes of the Fallen, was fine. It was like a two 782 00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:53.760 hour dungeon and I had a really good boss fight against Omega, which was 783 00:53:53.800 --> 00:53:59.559 like really dope. But it didn't necessarily like push the game in any particular 784 00:53:59.599 --> 00:54:02.000 direction. It was just kind of like, here's more content. Rising Tide 785 00:54:02.039 --> 00:54:07.639 has its own separate storyline. So if you play the original game, they 786 00:54:07.880 --> 00:54:10.559 allude to Leviathan, but a love Ethan never shows up in the original game. 787 00:54:10.880 --> 00:54:15.119 That's not really spoiler, that's public knowledge at this point, but this 788 00:54:15.239 --> 00:54:19.400 is what that DLC is about. So it's a little weird that, if 789 00:54:19.440 --> 00:54:24.519 you sixteen ends on a fairly like this game ends. So it's really weird 790 00:54:24.559 --> 00:54:29.639 to go back to a game that has a pretty definitive ending and then hey, 791 00:54:29.800 --> 00:54:30.880 we have an extra chapter for you to play, and it's like all 792 00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:35.760 right, well fine, I'll see what you got. And it's really nice. 793 00:54:35.800 --> 00:54:38.880 It's refreshing in a way because it takes place in a completely different region 794 00:54:39.360 --> 00:54:43.880 and it has like a tropical vibe. So a lot of sixteen was just 795 00:54:43.920 --> 00:54:46.719 so dark and nasty, and that's what the that's the vibe it was going 796 00:54:46.760 --> 00:54:51.559 for. So it worked for that game. So it's nice to have like 797 00:54:51.639 --> 00:54:57.079 this contrast where it's a lot more feels like a place where you would want 798 00:54:57.119 --> 00:55:00.360 to be at, and there's like a new society to learn about. There's 799 00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:02.840 a new dungeon, and there's a new icon fight and all this stuff is 800 00:55:02.920 --> 00:55:07.039 really well done. You get to use Leviathan also as an icon power, 801 00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:08.199 and they basically said, Yo, what if we turned this ship into a 802 00:55:08.239 --> 00:55:15.400 fucking shooter. Clive's arm turns into like a Leviathan mouth and you shot gun 803 00:55:15.440 --> 00:55:21.000 blast enemies with water that mouth, do some wild ship. You got like 804 00:55:21.000 --> 00:55:23.840 a like an SMG bubble blast type thing. And then like you have this 805 00:55:23.880 --> 00:55:29.599 other ability to like class ex. Yeah, what is Ben Star saying when 806 00:55:29.639 --> 00:55:37.960 he's shooting the cannon. Yeah there's he wasn't a clip of like his last 807 00:55:38.000 --> 00:55:42.519 line or whatever. It's just him screaming into the microphone. And that is 808 00:55:42.559 --> 00:55:47.400 what Clive does all the time. So shouts out to Ben Starr's vocal cords 809 00:55:47.440 --> 00:55:52.679 because I'm sure they're fried at this point with all those streaming that he did 810 00:55:52.679 --> 00:55:55.159 for Clive. But yeah, it's a really funny use. You also get 811 00:55:55.239 --> 00:56:00.480 Ultima as an ability to which is like another separate piece of content comes with 812 00:56:00.519 --> 00:56:07.119 this DLC that's kind of a like a run based like roguelike dungeon or roguelike 813 00:56:07.119 --> 00:56:14.480 like battle challenge whatever. So that's fun because I like the combats interest. 814 00:56:15.039 --> 00:56:17.199 It's just like a run. It's like a run based combat challenge. That's 815 00:56:17.639 --> 00:56:20.480 if you want to get If you want to get more challenge out of the 816 00:56:20.480 --> 00:56:22.880 combat system, that's where you'll find it. But yeah, I think the 817 00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:28.280 dungeon is great. The music that accompanies the dungeon is absolutely incredible. It 818 00:56:28.320 --> 00:56:32.480 is up there with Masioshi Silka's best work, to be honest, there's yeah, 819 00:56:32.519 --> 00:56:36.760 the icon fight is pretty frustrating, but I think it's still a ton 820 00:56:36.800 --> 00:56:39.000 of fun once you kind of like get past. It's uh, kind of 821 00:56:39.000 --> 00:56:42.920 like there's a wild DPS check and a bunch of like mechanics you need to 822 00:56:43.000 --> 00:56:47.480 learn. But I liked it overall, and I think the thing the last 823 00:56:47.519 --> 00:56:52.639 thing to say about it is it has its own storyline and it's pretty different 824 00:56:52.719 --> 00:56:55.559 from the tone of the rest of the game, and I think it's really 825 00:56:55.599 --> 00:57:01.000 sweet actually what it has to say about breaking generational curses. So it feels 826 00:57:01.000 --> 00:57:05.480 like there's like a warm side to sixteen that it didn't fully explore in the 827 00:57:05.480 --> 00:57:07.760 base game that they kind of show a little bit more here, and even 828 00:57:07.760 --> 00:57:10.079 though it's like, Okay, now we need to go back to the main 829 00:57:10.119 --> 00:57:14.960 game and finish the final fight of the story, like, it still feels 830 00:57:15.000 --> 00:57:17.119 like, in a way, the game was trying to communicate something about, 831 00:57:17.199 --> 00:57:22.039 you know, moving on from this story and these characters. So I think 832 00:57:22.039 --> 00:57:27.000 it's a really nice way to cap off sixteen. So yeah, I think 833 00:57:27.000 --> 00:57:30.559 it's worth it if you liked sixteen. Fantastic fantastic, And the final thing 834 00:57:30.559 --> 00:57:35.320 we have here in the rundown is not a game, but can be precarious 835 00:57:35.440 --> 00:57:40.239 enough. Jeff Grub, you fixed the switch light. Yeah, my kids 836 00:57:40.239 --> 00:57:44.360 are finally getting to the point where we need to switches at all times. 837 00:57:44.559 --> 00:57:47.840 And the plan for a long time was to fix this switch light, which 838 00:57:47.880 --> 00:57:51.440 had the right stick. It wouldn't click in anymore. The left stick. 839 00:57:51.519 --> 00:57:54.079 The rubber rubbed off, and I'm like, I could just put something on 840 00:57:54.119 --> 00:57:55.960 there, but that always comes off as well, So I'm like, I'm 841 00:57:57.000 --> 00:58:00.760 going to take this thing open and replace both. There was a lot more. 842 00:58:00.039 --> 00:58:02.239 There was a lot more screws that I was expecting. By the time 843 00:58:02.280 --> 00:58:07.000 you get that thing fully open, so you can replace the right sticks specifically, 844 00:58:07.280 --> 00:58:09.920 I believe you've got like thirty screws you have to account for, and 845 00:58:09.960 --> 00:58:13.800 I was worried about that. And I'm like following a video guide and I'm 846 00:58:13.840 --> 00:58:15.920 working backward taking all these things out, and I'm like, I'm gonna forget 847 00:58:15.920 --> 00:58:19.719 where some of these go. But you know, I did my best to 848 00:58:19.840 --> 00:58:22.079 keep them separate and got through there. I got the sticks replaced. It 849 00:58:22.119 --> 00:58:25.239 wasn't too hard, all things considered. And now I'm like at a point 850 00:58:25.239 --> 00:58:29.719 where I'm like I was already in there. I kind of wish M would 851 00:58:29.719 --> 00:58:32.119 have replaced that LCD screen with an O Lead, So I started looking into 852 00:58:32.159 --> 00:58:36.679 O LEAD mods from my switch lights. I really like the switch light form 853 00:58:36.719 --> 00:58:42.719 factor. I think it is my favorite overall design for a Nintendo handheld ever, 854 00:58:43.039 --> 00:58:45.239 at least as an adult, Like as when I was a younger, 855 00:58:45.239 --> 00:58:47.119 I really like the Game Boy Advance SP but with you when I had a 856 00:58:47.119 --> 00:58:50.920 younger man's hands who could like handle that. But today my hands would explode 857 00:58:50.920 --> 00:58:53.519 if I tried to do that. So I'm like, I really like that. 858 00:58:53.639 --> 00:58:57.199 Maybe I'll put an OLED screen in there. And it doesn't seem like 859 00:58:57.280 --> 00:59:00.559 that's too difficult either, So I'm looking at that. But in the meantime, 860 00:59:00.599 --> 00:59:04.679 I do have a project I forgot. I bought this. I got 861 00:59:04.880 --> 00:59:08.199 one of those FPGA game Boy and uh, you gave what color things? 862 00:59:08.679 --> 00:59:13.280 Uh, And it's it's basically just the same thing as an analog pocket. 863 00:59:13.320 --> 00:59:15.519 I don't know why I got it here, you just wanted to build your 864 00:59:15.519 --> 00:59:16.519 own this time. Yeah, I mean I know why I got it. 865 00:59:16.519 --> 00:59:21.800 It's because the shell is the exact shape of a game Boy game Boy color, 866 00:59:21.880 --> 00:59:24.679 and that's my favorite looking design of a game Boy. And I just 867 00:59:24.760 --> 00:59:28.559 love this thing. So I'm gonna piece this together. And now that's my 868 00:59:28.639 --> 00:59:31.599 life. I mean, we you know, we're approaching we're approaching the point 869 00:59:31.599 --> 00:59:37.760 where like you gotta count your knockoff little uh handheld devices, and I gotta 870 00:59:37.840 --> 00:59:42.880 count my keyboards. I literally did forget that I ordered this, So when 871 00:59:42.880 --> 00:59:45.159 I showed up, there was like this level of shame. That's about like, 872 00:59:45.239 --> 00:59:51.199 oh my god, that's like the seventh step. So you're you're definitely 873 00:59:51.280 --> 00:59:54.760 tracking. You're playing your your you're playing the I have a problem playbook page 874 00:59:54.760 --> 00:59:59.360 by page. Uh huh uh. Yeah, I think we got to start 875 00:59:59.639 --> 01:00:05.039 compare wearing our super dumb hobbies. Yeah, you're right, and it's definitely 876 01:00:05.039 --> 01:00:07.239 a problem, but man, this thing looks fun. I can't wait to 877 01:00:07.239 --> 01:00:09.039 put it there. You go and you're back in. Yeah, we'll put 878 01:00:09.079 --> 01:00:12.679 something up on the website about this at some point. I can't wait. 879 01:00:13.159 --> 01:00:14.960 Yeah, go ahead, No no, no, no, please please please. 880 01:00:15.039 --> 01:00:17.960 I built Alex Bonniellow a keyboard. Oh yeah, I did. I 881 01:00:19.280 --> 01:00:22.960 don't know. I don't know. I don't know if it's public. What's 882 01:00:22.960 --> 01:00:25.159 that? What was it themed? Like, I'm curious. It was like 883 01:00:25.800 --> 01:00:29.880 just a different Eve pos poses from Stellar Blade for each of the letters. 884 01:00:29.920 --> 01:00:30.480 No, no, no, no, no no no. Oh he's wait 885 01:00:30.559 --> 01:00:35.079 he's streamed and I don't I didn't realize he's streamed it. I thought he 886 01:00:35.199 --> 01:00:37.599 just said he sent me a video, but I didn't know if he was. 887 01:00:37.199 --> 01:00:44.639 So it's like it's it's a gray case and it's got like like uh 888 01:00:44.679 --> 01:00:49.199 like Japanese language alpha's on it, so like there's a sub legend underneath each 889 01:00:49.639 --> 01:00:52.920 uh you know letter. That's fun. It's like black and white and gray 890 01:00:53.079 --> 01:00:59.880 with a knob because you know Alex and his knobs. He's got. That's 891 01:01:00.360 --> 01:01:04.079 no, that's awesome. He man, he's been sending me all these photos 892 01:01:04.079 --> 01:01:07.920 of like his words per minute scores on monkey Type and oh that's fun. 893 01:01:07.920 --> 01:01:10.559 I find out if you're listening to this. Also, my kids of their 894 01:01:10.559 --> 01:01:15.360 own accord started reading Case of This Zapps. Yeah is a book for kids, 895 01:01:15.679 --> 01:01:19.119 and they really love that book. So well, great, it's great. 896 01:01:20.039 --> 01:01:23.679 But yeah, we'll start doing more Giant Bomb keyboard commissions in the near 897 01:01:23.719 --> 01:01:30.719 future, and The Descendant's Rise of Red coming to your Disney Plus screens in 898 01:01:30.079 --> 01:01:36.840 July twelve, twenty twenty four, starring Alex Boniello. Folks, that about 899 01:01:36.840 --> 01:01:39.840 does it for the first part of the BombCast, unless anyone else has any 900 01:01:39.840 --> 01:01:43.559 things they want to talk about, any games, any miscellaneous thoughts. I 901 01:01:43.599 --> 01:01:46.360 played like ten minutes of that tennis game two K twenty five. I'll play 902 01:01:46.400 --> 01:01:49.280 more of it. It feels pretty good. Oh, it is a timing 903 01:01:49.320 --> 01:01:52.599 mechanic, like kind of like active reload for hitting tennis balls. Isn't Dan 904 01:01:52.719 --> 01:01:59.239 the game at? What is happening? When that's like weird? Is there 905 01:01:59.239 --> 01:02:05.079 a threesome? Is is the Dane in the game? Is that day question? 906 01:02:05.320 --> 01:02:07.760 I'm not listen. I'm forty one, I've been in the movies and 907 01:02:07.880 --> 01:02:16.480 like a half I'm remakeers crazy. I've not seen Challengers now Dune to Dune. 908 01:02:16.719 --> 01:02:22.360 I'm going, okay, well is in it? Yeah, but that 909 01:02:22.400 --> 01:02:27.760 has nothing to do with tennis. You challenge Challengers is, but it's also 910 01:02:27.840 --> 01:02:35.440 a little bit about worms, like Challenge really big worms. Our gaming leaks 911 01:02:35.440 --> 01:02:39.760 and rumors. Jeff Grub confirms that final Fast and Nine remake and there search 912 01:02:40.000 --> 01:02:45.960 you're putting it out there, Michael, have we taught you nothing? He 913 01:02:45.079 --> 01:02:52.199 Yo, folks, We're gonna break fake news continuously throughout the rest of this 914 01:02:52.280 --> 01:02:55.159 podcast, but the next segment will just be regular good old news. I 915 01:02:55.239 --> 01:02:59.559 want to play the tennis game. How is the tennis game? How's the 916 01:02:59.559 --> 01:03:01.840 tennis game? We should play it? We should be at top Spin. 917 01:03:01.880 --> 01:03:07.960 We played on the site tops where all right, I'm also going to pick 918 01:03:08.000 --> 01:03:12.639 up another hobby, and that hobby will just be tennis because everyone said I 919 01:03:12.679 --> 01:03:19.000 wouldn't be good at fishing, So I'm gonna go. You give off, 920 01:03:19.119 --> 01:03:22.960 like you know, inept fishing energy. What can I tell you? Okay, 921 01:03:22.239 --> 01:03:27.639 I'm thankful. That's where this one. We'll see you right after this 922 01:03:27.760 --> 01:03:32.880 quick bricky break, Jeff backlar. Can I be at enough fisherman if I 923 01:03:34.000 --> 01:03:37.960 have a fishing vest ready to go right now? Oh my god, you're 924 01:03:37.039 --> 01:03:45.159 wearing a fishing vest. This is destined to happen. Is this your next 925 01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:53.039 Blake clump game? There's no bad fishing games. Yeah no, yeah, 926 01:03:53.159 --> 01:03:58.280 okay, I reverse everything I said in the previous segment. I'm now all 927 01:03:58.280 --> 01:04:02.239 in on this Jan fisherman arc. I couldn't find my bucket hat. Otherwise 928 01:04:02.280 --> 01:04:05.760 I think full of coopermont I would have. I would have been good to 929 01:04:05.880 --> 01:04:15.320 go if you could get like thigh high galoshes and some like, uh, 930 01:04:15.519 --> 01:04:17.559 get them out of my closet. I thought you knew me, Jeff, 931 01:04:17.599 --> 01:04:20.760 come on. And then those like I don't know the sort of a kootraman 932 01:04:20.920 --> 01:04:25.800 these these freaks have with like the flies on their vests and stuff like, 933 01:04:25.920 --> 01:04:28.760 don't make me get the overalls out. We already know I got those. 934 01:04:28.840 --> 01:04:31.679 Oh man, I just don't see this for you, but I'm willing to 935 01:04:31.719 --> 01:04:36.239 support it. Let's let's let's plan a date Jen. We'll go disc golfing, 936 01:04:36.639 --> 01:04:41.199 We'll go fishing. That's a long day. But bumper cars. Bumper 937 01:04:41.199 --> 01:04:45.280 cars do bumper cars. You guys are gonna be gonna be sleepies by the 938 01:04:45.000 --> 01:04:51.159 cold hand at the Taco Bell Cantina. I look forward to I know, 939 01:04:51.239 --> 01:05:01.039 look forward to my newsletter, but Jeff Grubb delivering the news I personally feel 940 01:05:01.320 --> 01:05:06.400 like a disc golfing vlog or a fishing vlog with Michael and I would would 941 01:05:06.480 --> 01:05:13.119 just do numbers go off. You've set forth a chain of events that will 942 01:05:13.199 --> 01:05:17.280 lead us to hosting Game of the Year at a Bass Pro Shop, right, 943 01:05:17.360 --> 01:05:23.519 like, can we go to the pyramid the pyramid? Realize that is 944 01:05:23.559 --> 01:05:25.639 what is? And they're going to go back to like where was it? 945 01:05:25.679 --> 01:05:29.840 What was the episode? Oh right when he wore the vest? Yeah, 946 01:05:30.599 --> 01:05:34.440 remember why I got this? You know, I think, what's the other 947 01:05:34.480 --> 01:05:38.400 one? Cabela's Cabela's Are they the same thing? Now? Cabela's and Bass 948 01:05:38.400 --> 01:05:42.039 Pro Shop feels is a hunting more like hunting centric type show. Okay, 949 01:05:42.119 --> 01:05:44.599 either way, that's where I take my kids to see Santa and the easter 950 01:05:45.599 --> 01:05:49.559 out there. There's no line, am I, there's no line for that 951 01:05:49.719 --> 01:05:55.400 Santa. Am I not caught up with the sort of social discussion here where 952 01:05:55.440 --> 01:05:59.800 I sort of continued to hold those brands in not a great regard. Is 953 01:05:59.800 --> 01:06:02.199 that? Oh? I mean, I'm not like doing my shopping there I'm 954 01:06:02.239 --> 01:06:06.920 going to see Santa. They're free. I just don't know what to think 955 01:06:06.960 --> 01:06:15.000 anymore, and I need the internet to Jeff dude. Bps hell had a 956 01:06:15.079 --> 01:06:18.840 choke hold on like gen Z and younger. I know they had like trucker 957 01:06:18.880 --> 01:06:21.880 hats that were like very popular, like who cares? Can I get my 958 01:06:21.960 --> 01:06:29.760 Can I get my car? Heart at BPS? No? No, are 959 01:06:29.800 --> 01:06:32.360 they competing like I think they feel like they? Right, Yeah, we 960 01:06:32.480 --> 01:06:36.079 got aria. Alright, I have hot I have headlines for y'all. Let's 961 01:06:36.079 --> 01:06:40.760 get into it. Despite hardware decline, Xbox reports record Q three thanks to 962 01:06:41.440 --> 01:06:46.159 the Activision boost. Activision Blizzard's acquisition by Microsoft has positively impacted the company's gaming 963 01:06:46.199 --> 01:06:49.599 division. During the third quarter, gaming revenue increased by fifty one percent year 964 01:06:49.639 --> 01:06:56.559 over year, things largely to Activision's contributions. X Xbox content and services revenue 965 01:06:56.639 --> 01:07:00.440 rose as well, but hardware sales declined by thirty one percent. CEO Sati 966 01:07:00.519 --> 01:07:04.480 Na Della highlighted the impact of Activision Blizzard Games, which set records for game 967 01:07:04.599 --> 01:07:10.920 streaming hours, console usage, and monthly active users. Diablo Ford's launch on 968 01:07:11.000 --> 01:07:13.960 game Pass was good, blah blah blah, But mostly here the story is 969 01:07:15.360 --> 01:07:18.199 Xbox overall doing very well because they have made some very strong acquisitions that's going 970 01:07:18.280 --> 01:07:23.440 to help their brand. Console sales have dive dived, and if you take 971 01:07:24.519 --> 01:07:30.039 the Activision acquisition out of the numbers, sales for Xbox content and services was 972 01:07:30.079 --> 01:07:33.960 down five percent, so they needed those acquisitions. I think that kind of 973 01:07:33.960 --> 01:07:36.360 goes hand in hand with the second story. So I'm just going to go 974 01:07:36.360 --> 01:07:40.480 and that real quick and then we can have a conversation. Xbox Games Showcase 975 01:07:40.800 --> 01:07:44.800 and Redacted Direct are announced for June ninth. Just this morning, Microsoft has 976 01:07:44.800 --> 01:07:49.039 announced two upcoming events, the Xbox Game Showcase and a Redacted Direct. The 977 01:07:49.199 --> 01:07:54.000 Xbox Game Showcase will occur on June ninth, twenty twenty four, and will 978 01:07:54.039 --> 01:07:57.880 include games from Activision, Blizzard, Befessa, and Xbox Game Studios. It 979 01:07:57.920 --> 01:08:00.480 will be followed by the Redacted Direct, which is rumored to be related to 980 01:08:00.519 --> 01:08:04.039 the next Call of Duty game, very likely a Black Ops game, because 981 01:08:04.079 --> 01:08:10.840 what other thing has anything to do with being redacted? Okay. Xbox hardware 982 01:08:10.960 --> 01:08:13.440 kind of on the decline, and I think that's two years in a row 983 01:08:13.480 --> 01:08:15.359 where they saw pretty heavy declines in terms of the number of the number of 984 01:08:15.479 --> 01:08:18.520 Xbox consoles sold, or at least the amount of money they're making from that, 985 01:08:20.079 --> 01:08:24.199 and yet they're making more money from selling games largely because of something like 986 01:08:24.199 --> 01:08:27.359 Call of Duty that is everywhere. How do you guys, feeling about where 987 01:08:27.479 --> 01:08:30.880 Xbox is as a console platform and as a publisher of video games, especially 988 01:08:30.960 --> 01:08:34.119 going into what it seems like is going to be a very big show in 989 01:08:34.199 --> 01:08:43.479 June. I think the publisher side they look very appealing. Where from the 990 01:08:43.520 --> 01:08:48.520 hardware front, I think if I had only invested in the Xbox ecosystem, 991 01:08:48.600 --> 01:08:55.119 I'd be a little bit disappointed because suddenly it turns out that the console war 992 01:08:55.239 --> 01:09:02.560 was fake, guys time, this whole time, it's been vague because you 993 01:09:02.560 --> 01:09:09.319 know, now my peers that have PlayStation can play some of the titles like 994 01:09:09.359 --> 01:09:14.079 see if Thieves launches today? Right, that sounds right? Yeah, So 995 01:09:14.560 --> 01:09:18.960 I think I'd be a little bit disappointed because then not only can PlayStation console 996 01:09:18.960 --> 01:09:24.239 owners are taken all of their existing console exclusives, but now that they can 997 01:09:24.279 --> 01:09:28.279 get their hooks into the games that I could boast and brag about. But 998 01:09:28.640 --> 01:09:31.560 if I am just sitting on the periphery like most of us are, with 999 01:09:31.600 --> 01:09:35.800 this publishing side, all right, Cool, go ahead, keep keep pumping 1000 01:09:35.840 --> 01:09:40.439 money into these devs. The thing I think, I don't think this is 1001 01:09:40.640 --> 01:09:45.279 surprising considering what Microsoft's priorities are with Xbox, right, because I mean, 1002 01:09:45.960 --> 01:09:51.520 their primary concern was always to get as many users on whatever device. It 1003 01:09:51.520 --> 01:09:56.720 doesn't matter what device you use, if you are on game Pass or if 1004 01:09:56.720 --> 01:10:00.199 you're using cloudstream, whatever the case is, they got your ass. That's 1005 01:10:00.319 --> 01:10:04.880 that's their primary goal. So seeing like hardware sales declining one, we're four 1006 01:10:04.960 --> 01:10:08.560 years deep into a console generation, so like, yeah, okay, you're 1007 01:10:08.560 --> 01:10:12.960 going to see some decline fairly steep, I guess in this case, but 1008 01:10:14.119 --> 01:10:18.000 I don't I like it. I always feel like slanging hardware was is like 1009 01:10:18.119 --> 01:10:23.560 secondary to everything else. So the fact that they're rising on the publishing side, 1010 01:10:23.560 --> 01:10:27.359 that's their priority is to be a publisher of games because that's where the 1011 01:10:27.399 --> 01:10:31.560 money is. Rarely, if ever, do companies make money off of selling 1012 01:10:31.640 --> 01:10:38.439 hardware game consoles. So this is this tracks with what I think their priorities 1013 01:10:38.479 --> 01:10:41.239 are. But like some people will see this like, oh, yeah, 1014 01:10:41.720 --> 01:10:45.159 the Xbox is taking Matt L's again, It's like, well, I'm right, 1015 01:10:45.079 --> 01:10:48.880 not really, It's hey, yeah, I'm you're right, The hardware 1016 01:10:48.960 --> 01:10:51.199 is like going to be It was always going to be a challenging place for 1017 01:10:51.239 --> 01:10:56.199 them to grow. I think that has been proven at this point. And 1018 01:10:56.279 --> 01:10:58.479 so where are they going to get the growth from. Well, they are 1019 01:10:58.479 --> 01:11:01.239 getting it from selling a bunch of games like frigging Call of Duty and Minecraft 1020 01:11:01.279 --> 01:11:05.560 and and and those games necessitate them to think bigger than the Xbox because both 1021 01:11:05.600 --> 01:11:12.079 those franchises are already on other platforms and they've promised to continue keeping that the 1022 01:11:12.079 --> 01:11:15.640 case, I suppose. Okay, So then, as fans of playing video 1023 01:11:15.680 --> 01:11:18.640 games, are are there things like, oh man, the Xbox Game Showcase, 1024 01:11:18.680 --> 01:11:23.000 They're you know, promising big stuff. We're gonna get updates from you 1025 01:11:23.039 --> 01:11:26.880 know, Bethesda and all these other studios. Are there things you're looking forward 1026 01:11:26.920 --> 01:11:28.880 to hearing about? Is there something like, oh man, they're finally going 1027 01:11:28.920 --> 01:11:30.359 to talk about Perfect Dark? Or is this kind of a wait and see 1028 01:11:30.399 --> 01:11:34.119 for y'all? I think it's been a wait and see with Microsoft in terms 1029 01:11:34.159 --> 01:11:41.800 of like games that they themselves are putting out rather than partnering up with I 1030 01:11:41.840 --> 01:11:45.640 think it's been the wait and see camp for a while. I think eventually 1031 01:11:45.479 --> 01:11:48.680 Microsoft is eventually gonna have to Pony up and show us what else they got. 1032 01:11:48.680 --> 01:11:51.840 I mean, we could potentially see more of Fable this year, right, 1033 01:11:53.840 --> 01:11:58.159 I hope so likely? Yeah, I don't. I don't know about 1034 01:11:58.159 --> 01:12:01.680 Perfect Dark though, Greb, Yeah, I mean I My hope is and 1035 01:12:01.720 --> 01:12:04.000 this has been my hope for this showcase for a long time. We get 1036 01:12:04.039 --> 01:12:08.720 updates on all of the franchises that they've talked about before, at least the 1037 01:12:08.760 --> 01:12:11.640 ones that were announced, you know, four years ago or something like that, 1038 01:12:11.680 --> 01:12:14.880 anything that was announced near the launch of the Xbox series X and S. 1039 01:12:15.279 --> 01:12:16.920 I want updates on those, and Perfect Dark would be among those. 1040 01:12:17.319 --> 01:12:20.359 It can't be that much further. Office suppose it could be another two years, 1041 01:12:20.640 --> 01:12:25.000 and at that point maybe they aren't ready to show it. And creating 1042 01:12:25.000 --> 01:12:27.880 these assets, as we know we've talked about a bunch does take time, 1043 01:12:28.079 --> 01:12:30.640 you know, anywhere anywhere from two months to six months to create something with 1044 01:12:30.760 --> 01:12:35.119 even if it's a like a CGI trailer. That stuff does take time, 1045 01:12:35.439 --> 01:12:40.720 even when it's made externally. Okay, So this redacted showcase, it's it's 1046 01:12:40.760 --> 01:12:43.920 call of duty black ops, right there? Is there any other theory you 1047 01:12:43.920 --> 01:12:46.520 guys are harboring? Hm? I don't know if I could do this again. 1048 01:12:46.600 --> 01:12:51.000 Guys, Yeah, how you feel on mister Call of Duty? As 1049 01:12:51.079 --> 01:12:57.399 the premiere expert of Call of Duty? All things Call of Duty? Right, 1050 01:12:57.680 --> 01:13:02.479 just subscribe to my YouTube channel. I think like it feels time like 1051 01:13:02.720 --> 01:13:06.680 I have to put myself into like call of duty brain and say that like 1052 01:13:06.800 --> 01:13:15.000 black car, it's a fine line. My friend stands for call of duty 1053 01:13:15.520 --> 01:13:18.760 Jesus right, I have to keep one foot on the floor while I do 1054 01:13:18.840 --> 01:13:24.319 this, while I attempt to drift. Yeah, it seems like from that 1055 01:13:24.479 --> 01:13:29.920 perspective it is time for another black ops. So that probably feels okay. 1056 01:13:29.760 --> 01:13:32.239 It sounds so obligatory. It's like, I guess we're doing this again. 1057 01:13:32.319 --> 01:13:36.319 I guess we do. Is there any excitement for it? I don't think 1058 01:13:36.319 --> 01:13:41.720 there's any more excitement in Call of Duty. I do honestly think it is 1059 01:13:41.800 --> 01:13:46.600 this like expected pull the lever, get the thing. There is very much 1060 01:13:46.680 --> 01:13:51.560 the crane game where it's, uh, it costs a dollar, but you 1061 01:13:51.600 --> 01:13:56.159 don't lose until you win something, right, do you know what I mean? 1062 01:13:56.239 --> 01:13:59.000 Where it's like you're gonna get a piece of shit, little bouncy ball. 1063 01:13:59.000 --> 01:14:00.520 I mean it's the rent the maze, right, they hit the button 1064 01:14:00.520 --> 01:14:03.399 and they only get stuff sometimes. But one of those things eventually is one 1065 01:14:03.479 --> 01:14:08.520 hundred going to be Call of Duty Black Ops five? Yes, yeah, 1066 01:14:08.560 --> 01:14:12.840 I mean the you know, the playability for that thing. I just think 1067 01:14:12.880 --> 01:14:19.119 has been on such a negative trajectory for a couple of years now where I 1068 01:14:19.159 --> 01:14:24.680 do think it's finally poisoned well enough that there's a substantial sort of shift in 1069 01:14:24.720 --> 01:14:30.279 the excitement over that. So okay, so that's what they're doing this summer. 1070 01:14:30.479 --> 01:14:31.680 I guess I was gonna do a little wrap of like what we know 1071 01:14:31.760 --> 01:14:36.359 about what's happening this summer for big announcements and showcases. The word still is 1072 01:14:36.399 --> 01:14:42.319 PlayStation is probably going to do something, likely a showcase in May. So 1073 01:14:42.600 --> 01:14:46.399 PlayStation will have something. Microsoft is going all out. Nintendo, who knows 1074 01:14:47.319 --> 01:14:50.640 they could have They could have a direct or, they could completely skip the 1075 01:14:50.680 --> 01:14:55.600 summer. No one really knows what they're gonna do, and then everyone else 1076 01:14:55.640 --> 01:14:58.960 is probably gonna have some stuff going on at at summer game Fest. It 1077 01:14:58.960 --> 01:15:02.359 doesn't feel like many of these other companies are looking at doing their own specific 1078 01:15:02.479 --> 01:15:04.920 like hey, let's get everyone out, let's just if we if we're gonna 1079 01:15:04.960 --> 01:15:08.960 do it, we're just gonna go with Jeff Keeley and I don't know. 1080 01:15:09.000 --> 01:15:11.520 I'm overall I'm pretty fine with that. How are you guys feeling about the 1081 01:15:11.520 --> 01:15:15.000 summer A game showcase announcement season? Let me tell you all about I g 1082 01:15:15.239 --> 01:15:19.680 N Live Baby, get your mull thefucking tickets Now them ships is selling, 1083 01:15:19.800 --> 01:15:24.720 bro, this is what I become. Are you gonna have to take down 1084 01:15:24.720 --> 01:15:30.439 that game spot logo behind you when you're question? Actually, Michael, here's 1085 01:15:30.479 --> 01:15:33.000 what you do. You just put you you get two more logos. You 1086 01:15:33.079 --> 01:15:39.479 just put an eye and then that's really good. Yeah, I'll do I 1087 01:15:39.560 --> 01:15:41.720 like that. I'm sure. Yeah, I can get away with that. 1088 01:15:41.720 --> 01:15:46.119 That's really funny. Oh man, I ow fucking the hype to see video 1089 01:15:46.159 --> 01:15:48.479 games this summer. I don't know. Yeah, me too. I think 1090 01:15:48.479 --> 01:15:50.880 it's gonna be a good time. Well, we'll see how it goes. 1091 01:15:51.239 --> 01:15:55.840 All right, my friends to come visit me. We're gonna be in l 1092 01:15:55.920 --> 01:16:01.359 A. That's true. God, let's go get meat wasted again. We 1093 01:16:01.399 --> 01:16:08.880 had barbecue again. Oh yeah, KBBQ was hit and that night it really 1094 01:16:09.159 --> 01:16:13.399 still tasted. Not to like fully brag about that, but when I found 1095 01:16:13.399 --> 01:16:15.159 out it was Mike Manatty's birthday when you guys were going to be in town, 1096 01:16:15.199 --> 01:16:18.039 and I thought to myself, what's the best restaurant I could take Mike 1097 01:16:18.039 --> 01:16:21.159 Manatty too. I was like, one more, it's just meat, and 1098 01:16:21.199 --> 01:16:28.000 its nailed it for Mike. I'm also very glad that Mike did not see 1099 01:16:28.079 --> 01:16:34.119 that some of the meat was resting on a bed of lettuce, and he 1100 01:16:34.119 --> 01:16:40.880 didn't notice why because he was sitting right next to the voice actor for Actually 1101 01:16:41.239 --> 01:16:45.439 Ashley, thank you for rasing evil for literally perfect birthday. It was a 1102 01:16:45.439 --> 01:16:53.720 perfect birthday. Here's the thing. You trick him into eating vegetables, Like, 1103 01:16:55.720 --> 01:16:59.199 yes, indeed, Mike, grow up. Here's the thing you know. 1104 01:16:59.520 --> 01:17:03.199 Susie Sphere Hunter very popular person. Right anytime I see the Homegirl, 1105 01:17:03.239 --> 01:17:09.079 it's great. But the thing is she's so well connected that like anytime she's 1106 01:17:09.119 --> 01:17:10.960 like, oh I got a friend with me, and I'm like, all 1107 01:17:11.039 --> 01:17:14.279 right, cool, I'm just chilling into the back of the uber and then 1108 01:17:14.359 --> 01:17:16.479 like I'm just making casual small talk of like, oh, hey, what 1109 01:17:16.560 --> 01:17:19.439 do you do, Like, oh, I'm the voice actress for Ashley from 1110 01:17:19.479 --> 01:17:24.479 Resident And I'm like, motherfuck, you can't just drop that shit on me. 1111 01:17:24.800 --> 01:17:29.479 Some warnings here dog. It was. It was very like Mike didn't 1112 01:17:29.520 --> 01:17:30.319 know. He was sitting there for like quite some time, and then I 1113 01:17:30.359 --> 01:17:32.760 mentioned that and he's like, oh my god, So yeah, we gotta 1114 01:17:32.760 --> 01:17:35.880 puture. That's very good there. That was a good one, all right, 1115 01:17:35.920 --> 01:17:40.840 Moving along here, Todd Howard says Bethesda's focused on finding ways to increase 1116 01:17:40.960 --> 01:17:44.800 its output. Todd Howard, game director at Bethesda, acknowledges the long wait 1117 01:17:44.840 --> 01:17:47.960 between the studio's game releases and expresses a commitment to finding ways to increase their 1118 01:17:47.960 --> 01:17:54.039 output while maintaining a high quality, but is currently focused on the Elder Scroll 1119 01:17:54.119 --> 01:17:56.840 six and does not have plans for a sequel to fall Out four in the 1120 01:17:56.840 --> 01:18:00.800 near future. Howard also discussed the possibility of collaborating with external developers on Fallout 1121 01:18:00.800 --> 01:18:05.239 projects like mobile spin offs or non numbered series entries, as Bethesta has done 1122 01:18:05.239 --> 01:18:09.720 in the past. He emphasized the importance of delivering high quality games, and 1123 01:18:09.760 --> 01:18:14.960 mentioned upcoming content for Fallout seventy six, including a major map expansion called Skyline 1124 01:18:15.039 --> 01:18:19.640 Valley Cincinnati reference. Oh my god, but that's the previously that would be 1125 01:18:19.680 --> 01:18:23.720 right in the right area, But that's the previously turned out. Proposals from 1126 01:18:23.720 --> 01:18:27.199 Obsidian. I'm like, I love Skyland actually, you know me. They 1127 01:18:27.199 --> 01:18:30.640 turned out proposals from Obsidian to develop more Fallout in Elder Schull's game, but 1128 01:18:30.680 --> 01:18:35.039 the acquisition of both studios by Microsoft may open up new opportunities for collaborations. 1129 01:18:35.039 --> 01:18:40.239 Of course, we've heard the rumors that they are maybe discussing that. And 1130 01:18:40.279 --> 01:18:43.960 then he also took a time to took time to say I love New Vegas 1131 01:18:44.000 --> 01:18:47.039 and we we love New Vegas athesta, are we talking about Todd Howard the 1132 01:18:47.079 --> 01:18:50.960 television show producer. H yeah, the television time. I'd like you to 1133 01:18:53.279 --> 01:18:57.960 Yes, that's right. Okay, So like more Fallout we did. This 1134 01:18:58.000 --> 01:19:00.840 is a conversation we've had a bunch of times. Now do you think after 1135 01:19:00.840 --> 01:19:03.279 this conversation where he's like, yeah, maybe things could happen, and we've 1136 01:19:03.279 --> 01:19:06.600 heard these rumors that they want to have more stuff happen, what do you 1137 01:19:06.680 --> 01:19:12.199 guys think is the likeliest scenario for getting more Fallout as quickly as possible. 1138 01:19:14.119 --> 01:19:18.119 I meant to work with Obsidian again. This is exactly the right set of 1139 01:19:18.159 --> 01:19:21.119 circumstances that fall Out in New Vegas came in last time is because all their 1140 01:19:21.159 --> 01:19:26.680 main developers were busy working on Skyrim yep, and now Obsidian is right there, 1141 01:19:26.680 --> 01:19:30.079 and it wouldn't be some like external deal. It would just be knocking 1142 01:19:30.119 --> 01:19:32.960 on our neighbor's door and we all live in the same community. So the 1143 01:19:33.000 --> 01:19:38.880 thing is, like these things take so long to guess rolling, like if 1144 01:19:38.880 --> 01:19:41.720 you're if they're if they're considering the idea. Now you're not going to see 1145 01:19:41.760 --> 01:19:45.600 that ship for another two, three, four years, five years, And 1146 01:19:45.640 --> 01:19:50.119 I'm assuming the Fallout TV show is like going to have it's major success. 1147 01:19:50.119 --> 01:19:57.239 It's going to be probably going to have more seasons and yeah, season two 1148 01:19:57.319 --> 01:20:00.479 is just now so excited. So the the Fallout tail is going to be 1149 01:20:00.680 --> 01:20:02.760 long. Of course, you want to strike when the iron's hot, like 1150 01:20:02.800 --> 01:20:06.439 you'll fall Out is reaching like a critical mass that like for me, I 1151 01:20:06.479 --> 01:20:10.840 think a Fallout was like, oh, my fun little silly RPG game where 1152 01:20:10.880 --> 01:20:15.319 I hang out with robots and like have Matthew Perry shoot me in the head 1153 01:20:15.359 --> 01:20:18.840 at the start of New Vegas and shit. So it's really wild to see 1154 01:20:18.960 --> 01:20:23.520 it explode in this way. But in terms of what they can do with 1155 01:20:23.600 --> 01:20:29.880 games in the immediate future, I would they probably invest in seventy six with 1156 01:20:29.960 --> 01:20:33.800 like events and extra content and things like that, because that's the thing that 1157 01:20:33.840 --> 01:20:40.000 they can probably insert the easiest to coincide with the TV show at this point. 1158 01:20:40.680 --> 01:20:44.119 But in terms of like new projects, it's going to be a while. 1159 01:20:45.680 --> 01:20:49.279 Yeah, I think that Fallout has permanently changed though, right, Like 1160 01:20:49.439 --> 01:20:53.159 I agree with everything you just said, Hi am, It's going to take 1161 01:20:53.159 --> 01:20:56.119 a while no matter what. Even if they are like, let's do a 1162 01:20:56.159 --> 01:21:00.920 smaller project with a smaller scope focus, Let's inexile do it top down Fallout 1163 01:21:00.000 --> 01:21:03.680 RPG that's like a sequel to two, those things could really work. That 1164 01:21:03.720 --> 01:21:09.640 would also take two, three four years. But I think regardless when they 1165 01:21:09.760 --> 01:21:12.760 announce, hey, here is a new Fallout project, if it is three 1166 01:21:12.840 --> 01:21:16.159 four years from now and that's after a season two, the excitement for that 1167 01:21:16.239 --> 01:21:18.279 is going to be off the charts no matter what, because I think this 1168 01:21:18.319 --> 01:21:23.640 is now a franchise that is in people's minds forever. Is that correct? 1169 01:21:23.720 --> 01:21:26.720 What do you guys think? Yeah? I think it's enter it. It's 1170 01:21:26.760 --> 01:21:30.600 like on the precipice of entering, like cultural cannon, where you're getting your 1171 01:21:30.680 --> 01:21:34.880 normal person talking about Fallout, and you're also getting that normal person kind of 1172 01:21:34.880 --> 01:21:39.359 disappointed when they go check out the games of like, oh, this is 1173 01:21:39.520 --> 01:21:46.720 different than the show yet. Yeah, well you're not a huge fan of 1174 01:21:46.760 --> 01:21:48.479 the show, right, you guys find it kind of boring, you know? 1175 01:21:48.800 --> 01:21:53.560 I think, well, no, she did. She's a bad person. 1176 01:21:53.840 --> 01:22:00.520 But I like, I'm in n watching it alone because I see value 1177 01:22:00.199 --> 01:22:05.399 and I yeah, I'm into it. But I don't know if it's, 1178 01:22:05.439 --> 01:22:10.960 like I've realized, it is doing very well as far as Amazon shows go. 1179 01:22:11.199 --> 01:22:14.680 I feel like it's kind of amazing that the mount Rushmore of Amazon shows 1180 01:22:14.760 --> 01:22:18.279 is now like Missus masl and like the Gods as a Ghoul. I think 1181 01:22:18.319 --> 01:22:25.119 that's cool as hell. It's I think it's good. I don't I don't 1182 01:22:25.119 --> 01:22:29.079 know if it's on the same level as like other recent stuff. I think 1183 01:22:29.079 --> 01:22:33.159 it in terms of like video game adaptations, I think that's the cachet they're 1184 01:22:33.199 --> 01:22:38.479 running with of like this is a really good one of these. Oh no, 1185 01:22:38.520 --> 01:22:41.279 not that Breakout is a cool to like the Last of Us, Right, 1186 01:22:41.479 --> 01:22:45.159 I think Last of Us has a bigger footprint, a big footprint. 1187 01:22:45.159 --> 01:22:48.680 But if I'm gonna be honest, like even though that even though that one 1188 01:22:48.800 --> 01:22:54.880 was more prestige, that one was more like serious in tone and blah blah 1189 01:22:54.960 --> 01:22:59.520 blah. I vibed with Fallout more. Yeah, I think Fallout has like 1190 01:22:59.520 --> 01:23:02.720 a more fun kind of relationship with its content that The Last of Us is 1191 01:23:02.720 --> 01:23:06.119 sort of just like you kind of can't always watch this because it's too much, 1192 01:23:06.359 --> 01:23:12.319 right, everyone on Prime And I don't think everyone has HBO. So 1193 01:23:12.359 --> 01:23:15.239 I like sixty five million viewers for this Fallout show, you can't watch it 1194 01:23:15.279 --> 01:23:18.119 on HBO. Grow I'm sorry, Max, the one to watch for HBO. 1195 01:23:18.960 --> 01:23:24.079 Get it right? The price? Yeah, I mean, I think 1196 01:23:24.079 --> 01:23:28.479 that this is going to have a cultural footprint. But Backler, I think 1197 01:23:28.479 --> 01:23:30.319 I get where you're coming from, because even something like you know, Game 1198 01:23:30.359 --> 01:23:33.600 of Thrones, there's that rumor that Embark is working on a Game of Thrones 1199 01:23:33.640 --> 01:23:38.439 game and people don't really care. And Game of Thrones was the biggest show 1200 01:23:38.479 --> 01:23:41.079 in the world for years and years and years. I'm sure it was like 1201 01:23:41.640 --> 01:23:44.039 a bad season there at the end really turned most people off. And I 1202 01:23:44.039 --> 01:23:45.760 think a lot of people are like, well, that's going in the brain 1203 01:23:45.800 --> 01:23:47.840 basket. I'm not gonna think about that anymore. But that can happen with 1204 01:23:47.920 --> 01:23:50.279 Fallout, and you know, these things do have their moment and then they 1205 01:23:50.279 --> 01:23:55.000 come and go, Like Walking Dead was really popular, way more popular than 1206 01:23:55.119 --> 01:23:58.000 even Fallout is, and those games, you know, I think they do 1207 01:23:58.079 --> 01:24:00.279 pretty well, but they're not like the biggest thing in the worldorld. It 1208 01:24:00.319 --> 01:24:03.720 just feels like Fallout is the right mix of the games already had a lot 1209 01:24:03.720 --> 01:24:06.760 of cachet among people who care about that sort of thing, and then the 1210 01:24:06.800 --> 01:24:11.199 TV show is amplifying that. So I think if they announced here's a fall 1211 01:24:11.199 --> 01:24:14.199 Out five, there will be way more people who care about that than ever 1212 01:24:14.279 --> 01:24:16.199 did before. It's right that it will land. I think the thing too, 1213 01:24:16.600 --> 01:24:23.039 is that Fallout the game is uniquely benefiting from the show in a way 1214 01:24:23.079 --> 01:24:29.079 that I don't think other adaptations have in terms of like their relationship, just 1215 01:24:29.159 --> 01:24:33.079 because of the sort of library of stuff that is available in the Fallout franchise, 1216 01:24:33.720 --> 01:24:39.560 the uniqueness this sort of personal storytelling kind of element to that I think 1217 01:24:40.319 --> 01:24:43.800 has found a way to kind of be, you know, in its own 1218 01:24:43.840 --> 01:24:47.159 category in terms of like where that's lending success. And as someone who kind 1219 01:24:47.199 --> 01:24:54.479 of only singularly enjoys Fallout three, I don't really have much to say beyond 1220 01:24:54.520 --> 01:24:57.359 that, but I will say that like it kind of made me want to 1221 01:24:57.399 --> 01:25:01.560 go back and see if that's play you know, yeah, I mean that's 1222 01:25:01.840 --> 01:25:06.000 yeah. It's like with with It's sort of like thinking about it now, 1223 01:25:06.079 --> 01:25:10.000 honestly, like it's sort of very unique, and like I think of other 1224 01:25:10.039 --> 01:25:12.800 good video game man adaptations. When I think of my top three, it 1225 01:25:12.840 --> 01:25:15.960 would be this one obviously Last of Us, and then I think Arcane almost 1226 01:25:15.960 --> 01:25:20.039 certainly are can of those Silent Hill, the first Silent Heil move. Okay, 1227 01:25:20.720 --> 01:25:27.239 but like of those three things I said, which were real, I 1228 01:25:27.279 --> 01:25:30.199 think from a visually, like just from fidelity, Like I do think that 1229 01:25:30.239 --> 01:25:34.920 first Silent Hill looks good, looks cool. That's it. Of those things 1230 01:25:34.920 --> 01:25:39.520 that I just said, I will say that fall it's kind of the only 1231 01:25:39.640 --> 01:25:41.640 one where you're like, and now I'm going to go play the game, 1232 01:25:41.680 --> 01:25:45.159 because with Last of Us you don't have to play the game. The show 1233 01:25:45.239 --> 01:25:47.479 is for people who don't want to play the game but want to experience the 1234 01:25:47.600 --> 01:25:53.319 story Arcane. The game is League of Legends. You're not going to get 1235 01:25:53.359 --> 01:25:57.239 the quality of storytelling from fucking League of Legends. It's fun, but it's 1236 01:25:57.319 --> 01:26:01.680 not. It's not what Arcane is doing. Fallout are getting that storytelling in 1237 01:26:01.720 --> 01:26:04.560 the game, but it's not the story you already know. You get to 1238 01:26:04.640 --> 01:26:08.840 just play around in this cool new world you just learned about. Like that 1239 01:26:08.960 --> 01:26:12.640 to me is the most like the funnel is so easy there, it's it 1240 01:26:12.640 --> 01:26:15.239 makes total sense that people are like obsessed with it now. And the through 1241 01:26:15.239 --> 01:26:20.680 line here is Ella Pernell because she's also an arcane so yeah, she's she's 1242 01:26:20.720 --> 01:26:24.800 so good in it. Oh that's right, And I didn't know that. 1243 01:26:24.760 --> 01:26:29.039 That's Hailey Steinfeld fellow Cuba by Yeah, Haley Steinel who plays her sister Vi. 1244 01:26:30.239 --> 01:26:35.800 Okay, this is Seeing the success of the Fallout show really makes me, 1245 01:26:39.039 --> 01:26:43.039 I guess, nervous for future adaptations to really hit the mark. Not 1246 01:26:43.359 --> 01:26:48.239 Fallout specifically, but like, yeah, I think that having a mass effect 1247 01:26:48.279 --> 01:26:54.399 show would have been a no brainer. But now I don't know if they 1248 01:26:54.399 --> 01:26:57.239 could deliver on a mass effect show. Yeah, but I think I think 1249 01:26:57.279 --> 01:27:01.439 it This proves that it's worth getting, like Jonathan Nolan on Board YEA to 1250 01:27:01.520 --> 01:27:06.800 sort of dictate like the level of quality that you're aiming for and the belief 1251 01:27:06.840 --> 01:27:10.960 can be there. That's like everyone involved is gonna benefit. You're gonna have 1252 01:27:10.960 --> 01:27:14.640 the second biggest show ever on Amazon Prime Video and you're gonna sell a ton 1253 01:27:14.680 --> 01:27:17.880 of video games even though they are between eight and fifteen years old or something 1254 01:27:17.920 --> 01:27:23.119 like that. So it's like everyone involved is benefiting and this is what can 1255 01:27:23.119 --> 01:27:26.079 happen if everything hits. So it encourages everyone to be like, no, 1256 01:27:26.159 --> 01:27:28.680 let's invest a little bit more time, let's actually do these shows right. 1257 01:27:28.880 --> 01:27:32.279 Where before it was always like the Twisted Metal show, where I know people 1258 01:27:32.319 --> 01:27:35.520 really like it. It's like the effort seemed to be like, let's make 1259 01:27:35.520 --> 01:27:40.239 a good comedy show and that's what we're going for. But I think if 1260 01:27:40.279 --> 01:27:42.399 they had a world where they had a game ready to go, it probably 1261 01:27:42.399 --> 01:27:45.920 could have benefited it. And if the lore was a little bit more important 1262 01:27:45.960 --> 01:27:48.359 something like that, these things could pay off in a way that they haven't 1263 01:27:48.399 --> 01:27:55.079 before. Last thing, this interview with Todd Howard happened over on kind of 1264 01:27:55.079 --> 01:27:58.159 Funny. They talked about a bunch of stuff. He also said that Starfield's 1265 01:27:58.159 --> 01:28:02.479 a Shattered Space story expansion is launching this fall, So hey, hooray, 1266 01:28:03.000 --> 01:28:08.880 you think we ever get a Starfield show? Everybody? Yeah, that's about 1267 01:28:08.920 --> 01:28:12.520 right. All right, Let's play a game. Okay, funk O Fusion. 1268 01:28:13.439 --> 01:28:15.720 If you're in the doc don't look. They announced this funk Co Fusion 1269 01:28:15.920 --> 01:28:18.359 is a I don't know, it's a sumption. Let me let me get 1270 01:28:18.359 --> 01:28:23.000 the whole MiLB so I say what this game is? A Confusion arrives on 1271 01:28:23.079 --> 01:28:29.680 console in PC September thirteenth.

Okay, what brands do you guys think are 1276 01:28:49.159 --> 01:28:56.520 in Funko Fusion. The impossible part of the scrub is that everything is a 1277 01:28:56.520 --> 01:29:00.399 funk Co pop exactly. That's why it's an impossible question, right, But 1278 01:29:00.439 --> 01:29:05.800 I want you get to start guessing. That is not one of the listed 1279 01:29:05.840 --> 01:29:12.439 games.

All right. There are several other movies and cartoons, and 1290 01:30:09.199 --> 01:30:12.760 they're pretty old, like nineties earlier, so it's not okay.

Back of Are Fifth Element, True Lie Now good 1300 01:31:00.039 --> 01:31:09.640 movies, Hugh Jackman to the Greatest Showman, Incredible, Bridget Jones's Diary, 1301 01:31:09.720 --> 01:31:15.199 Bridgie Jones's Diary, The Future, Marty McFly, Yeah, but back to 1302 01:31:15.239 --> 01:31:18.680 the future in Jurassic World of Drassic Park, Jurassic World, Oh my god, 1303 01:31:18.760 --> 01:31:21.840 Okay, Masters of the Universe, so he Man will be in there 1304 01:31:21.920 --> 01:31:28.000 as well as the Walking Dead and Invincible. I guess we could have guess 1305 01:31:28.039 --> 01:31:30.319 that from Scotband. Oh, it's shown of the Dead for some reason. 1306 01:31:30.399 --> 01:31:32.399 Man. I was going to say Marty McFly at the top of this, 1307 01:31:32.479 --> 01:31:35.520 but felt it was too stupid of an answer. I wanted to be like, 1308 01:31:35.720 --> 01:31:39.319 who is this for? But like, I think I know? And 1309 01:31:39.399 --> 01:31:43.239 my next follow up question is who dropped the ball on getting Rick and Morty 1310 01:31:43.239 --> 01:31:46.159 in here? Rick and Morty? Are they already in Fortnite? Are these 1311 01:31:46.199 --> 01:31:51.880 like leftovers from forty? Oh? No, you don't want to be that 1312 01:31:53.800 --> 01:31:58.600 Fortnight that'll start to actice because such a fucked up pick. Did they watch 1313 01:31:58.720 --> 01:32:02.960 the show? They don't care about any of that. That's never going to 1314 01:32:03.000 --> 01:32:12.279 be what they care devastating. What are they doing question for you? Uh, 1315 01:32:12.720 --> 01:32:15.079 what kind of game is this? Oh you didn't hear. It's the 1316 01:32:15.159 --> 01:32:19.760 upcoming co op action extravaganza built around some of the biggest brands and characters in 1317 01:32:19.800 --> 01:32:29.199 pop and funko pop culture. So this sounds amazing. I think this game 1318 01:32:29.239 --> 01:32:33.000 will stream very well. Though it pays tribute to Oh my God, Okay, 1319 01:32:33.000 --> 01:32:35.920 this is a line. Funk co Fusion is an action adventure, single 1320 01:32:35.920 --> 01:32:43.039 player and online co op experience that pays tribute to NBC Universal's deep roster, 1321 01:32:43.439 --> 01:32:48.239 a beloved worlds, and irreverent funko pop interpretations of the figures who inhabit that 1322 01:32:48.279 --> 01:32:55.279 way. Does that mean potentially get WWE Superstars because of cocked and We could? 1323 01:32:55.359 --> 01:32:57.840 Yeah? I think of anything that's had a funko it seems like it 1324 01:32:57.840 --> 01:33:03.479 could be on the table from poker Face. No, No, that's not 1325 01:33:04.439 --> 01:33:13.000 fantastic. I mean from thirty Rock would Crush, that'd be cooly good Jack 1326 01:33:13.079 --> 01:33:17.720 McBrayer. I'll just recap the the things that they've announced so far. Jurassic 1327 01:33:17.760 --> 01:33:20.680 World, Jaws, Back to the Future, the Thing, Sean of the 1328 01:33:20.760 --> 01:33:26.479 Dead, Chucky let's see here. Yeah, Umbrella Academy the Walking Down Invincible. 1329 01:33:26.520 --> 01:33:32.680 I'm repeating, miss, I mean yes, and Little Sebastian. That 1330 01:33:32.720 --> 01:33:35.880 would be great. We'll play this. I don't give a ship. Yeah, 1331 01:33:38.840 --> 01:33:41.720 is there another bring your dip to workday scheduled in the school year? 1332 01:33:42.119 --> 01:33:45.720 Help us understand this. We'll do it during the summer. Actually, I 1333 01:33:45.000 --> 01:33:50.760 would prefer us to go through these show showing Dylan these pop vinyls and asking 1334 01:33:50.840 --> 01:33:55.760 him what is this from? I mean, look, he's still riding high 1335 01:33:55.840 --> 01:34:00.279 from his last from last week. I'm he'll probably be coming down around November, 1336 01:34:00.319 --> 01:34:04.680 December, September, so oh man, sorry, the next school you're 1337 01:34:04.760 --> 01:34:09.439 strong? Yeah, yeah, this will be September thirteenth is when it hits 1338 01:34:09.600 --> 01:34:14.079 consoles in PC. All right. Also, that Star Wars Hunter's game from 1339 01:34:14.239 --> 01:34:16.439 Zinga, I think got a release date that's June fourth, So there you 1340 01:34:16.439 --> 01:34:18.720 go, all right. Moving on with the news, Square Enix has suggested 1341 01:34:18.760 --> 01:34:25.399 it's canceled or rescoped unannounced game projects as it continues to reassess its overall development 1342 01:34:25.439 --> 01:34:30.239 strategy. Square Inex has decided has decided to revise its approach to the development 1343 01:34:30.279 --> 01:34:33.840 of high definition games, so big console releases. The publisher expects to report 1344 01:34:33.920 --> 01:34:40.119 content abandonment losses of approximately twenty two point one billion yen, which is around 1345 01:34:40.159 --> 01:34:44.880 one hundred and forty one million dollars due to this evaluation, suggesting that several 1346 01:34:44.920 --> 01:34:49.920 projects have been canceled or rescoped. The decision follows the appointment of TAKASHIKIRIU as 1347 01:34:49.960 --> 01:34:54.399 the new president last year and the subsequent review of the development process. To 1348 01:34:54.439 --> 01:34:58.760 improve game quality, the publisher aims to reduce outsourcing and focus on in house 1349 01:34:58.800 --> 01:35:02.359 development for high profile titles to increase quality and profit margins. Founal Fantasy seven, 1350 01:35:02.399 --> 01:35:06.439 Rebirth, Square's biggest release of the year, is reportedly underperforming, selling 1351 01:35:06.439 --> 01:35:10.439 half of what Remakes sold in the same time frame. We've had that conversation. 1352 01:35:10.479 --> 01:35:14.399 There's caveats there, of course, but yeah, this was something they 1353 01:35:14.439 --> 01:35:16.600 talked about a couple months back, where like, we're gonna stop making shitty 1354 01:35:16.640 --> 01:35:19.560 games. We're just gonna make good games. And I'm okay, cool, 1355 01:35:19.760 --> 01:35:26.680 weird, that's crazy. Yeah, that was my response. Yeah, do 1356 01:35:26.720 --> 01:35:30.279 you mean this switch was flipped onto shitty games? Yeah, it was set 1357 01:35:30.319 --> 01:35:32.600 to evil and shitty. You have to do that with a million subscribers, 1358 01:35:32.640 --> 01:35:38.279 Why do we do that? Yeah? Exactly what we're gonna make only viral 1359 01:35:38.479 --> 01:35:47.000 videos. Now Nikki has changed all the plans. That's my strategy. We 1360 01:35:47.119 --> 01:35:50.600 don't know what games they are talking about here. People are worried that this 1361 01:35:50.640 --> 01:35:54.680 means, like, oh, Final Fantasy nine remake is not going to happen. 1362 01:35:54.680 --> 01:35:57.079 Now, I bet that's one of the ones they're going to keep making 1363 01:35:57.079 --> 01:35:59.760 it. It has Final Fantasy in the name. That seems like the thing 1364 01:35:59.800 --> 01:36:03.760 that doubling down on, But I don't know. It's probably several other projects 1365 01:36:03.760 --> 01:36:09.479 that we haven't heard about. Uh. The sequel to Quiet Man is that 1366 01:36:10.800 --> 01:36:17.319 no. I was actually jedubly upset that I almost berthed, We're we're joking. 1367 01:36:17.359 --> 01:36:21.560 But there was a period where Square Enix put out Quiet Man. Uh, 1368 01:36:21.640 --> 01:36:27.279 that really bad banger. That's exactly the game I was thinking I left 1369 01:36:27.279 --> 01:36:32.159 alive of Michael Hyam. There was a couple others in Wonderworld, fucking Babylon's 1370 01:36:32.279 --> 01:36:36.880 Fall, I am the Babon's Fall, Michael Hyam's Babylon's Fall. That is 1371 01:36:41.560 --> 01:36:44.600 like a year after year after year they would have one of these like games 1372 01:36:44.600 --> 01:36:47.800 that were in the conversation for worst game of the Year, And yeah, 1373 01:36:47.840 --> 01:36:50.520 it's the kind of thing where uh, hey, maybe it would be a 1374 01:36:50.520 --> 01:36:54.800 good idea to not do that anymore. And a lot of those projects were 1375 01:36:55.159 --> 01:36:58.239 like given off to a third party studios to like just make these things that 1376 01:36:58.439 --> 01:37:01.399 they then wasted resources promote, Like they had a demo for Balance Wonder World. 1377 01:37:01.479 --> 01:37:06.079 Well you know why they would do that. How are you feeling, 1378 01:37:06.079 --> 01:37:10.279 you know him, How are you feeling about Square Inex's future as an RPG 1379 01:37:10.399 --> 01:37:15.960 fan? I mean, I hope this doesn't mean I like, this could 1380 01:37:15.000 --> 01:37:18.760 mean many many things, but I hope, Yeah, this doesn't mean like 1381 01:37:18.800 --> 01:37:24.199 they're I guess, I don't know how I put it. But the smaller 1382 01:37:24.319 --> 01:37:29.520 RPG projects where they do get experimental when they do interesting things like Octopath Traveler 1383 01:37:29.520 --> 01:37:33.119 too, like one like one step below the prestige final fantasies, those are 1384 01:37:33.399 --> 01:37:38.479 those I think are where I find the most enjoyment and or I like, 1385 01:37:39.239 --> 01:37:44.840 there's something very memorable about those styles of games where they're not going for these 1386 01:37:44.920 --> 01:37:47.079 these like as much as I love sixteen and like seven Remake and Rebirth, 1387 01:37:48.319 --> 01:37:51.560 those those games are like they have like a prestige level to them, but 1388 01:37:51.800 --> 01:37:57.199 the way in which they explore different mechanics, different themes, they try and 1389 01:37:57.239 --> 01:38:00.720 do things like two d HD. That's the area that I hope is still 1390 01:38:00.720 --> 01:38:04.399 being invested in because that those are the things that have knock on effects for 1391 01:38:05.319 --> 01:38:11.119 other like they influence other companies or other developers to do interesting things with their 1392 01:38:11.199 --> 01:38:14.520 RPGs. So and they have a lot of they have a lot of good 1393 01:38:14.680 --> 01:38:19.520 brands still under you know, they still have the Bravely Ip Octopath. I 1394 01:38:19.600 --> 01:38:26.239 hope it has more stuff in the future saga. There's just so many Squarenx 1395 01:38:26.279 --> 01:38:30.960 has like sitting on a treasure trove of of of RPG brands, Like I 1396 01:38:30.960 --> 01:38:32.920 know they're they're putting out of visions of Mono laters. I'm not the biggest 1397 01:38:32.960 --> 01:38:38.199 Mona fan, but I do like that they are still investing in the Mana 1398 01:38:38.319 --> 01:38:42.560 series in a way. So that's what I hope doesn't get lost in the 1399 01:38:42.600 --> 01:38:46.880 sauce, is like the lower end of their projects, because yeah, like 1400 01:38:46.880 --> 01:38:50.880 I said, those are those are some of my most memorable games. For 1401 01:38:51.199 --> 01:38:55.479 as much as we were goofing on Square a couple of minutes ago with Balance 1402 01:38:55.479 --> 01:38:58.520 and Wonderworld and stuff, they did release like a lot of I want to 1403 01:38:58.560 --> 01:39:01.920 say, like experimental rps that were surprises coming from them, like Dalo Field 1404 01:39:02.000 --> 01:39:08.399 Chronicles was a pleasant memory, didn't quite stick the landing, but also games 1405 01:39:08.439 --> 01:39:14.760 like Dungeon Encounters was a very neat idea. And then they had a hard 1406 01:39:14.880 --> 01:39:18.439 game, Voice of Cards, Voice of Cards that I really enjoyed. I 1407 01:39:19.159 --> 01:39:23.600 think it just needed a little bit of editing. So I hope you know 1408 01:39:23.680 --> 01:39:30.119 to Michael's point, that they don't shy away from those smaller ideas, and 1409 01:39:30.239 --> 01:39:31.680 that they just stopped making the bad games, like they said, Yeah, 1410 01:39:32.079 --> 01:39:38.560 stop making bad games, man, all right, so let's move along here. 1411 01:39:38.600 --> 01:39:44.520 Peripheral firm claim switch to joy Cons use electromagnetic section, have extra buttons 1412 01:39:45.000 --> 01:39:48.239 there. It is Moba Pad, a company that specializes in making switch controllers, 1413 01:39:48.239 --> 01:39:51.640 claims to have new information about the upcoming switch to console. They report 1414 01:39:51.680 --> 01:39:56.079 that the new joy Cons will be larger and attached to consoles attention to the 1415 01:39:56.079 --> 01:40:00.680 console using magnetic section instead of the current sliding rail technolo, Yeah, go 1416 01:40:00.720 --> 01:40:06.760 ahead, please magnetic suction. Yeah, electromagnetic suction. How does that work? 1417 01:40:08.199 --> 01:40:19.640 Ask your mother? I just came out, I'm gonna go do it. 1418 01:40:21.399 --> 01:40:28.760 I was referencing the hit song from a couple of years ago. Oh 1419 01:40:28.800 --> 01:40:31.640 that's right, magnets nicy p sure I should have gone a that direction. 1420 01:40:33.079 --> 01:40:40.239 A miracle now up for that and in a wildly different direction. Back did 1421 01:40:40.239 --> 01:40:44.399 you did you have a specific question about this? I genuinely wanted to know 1422 01:40:44.479 --> 01:40:49.920 what that meant. We don't know, housed like this is the thing, 1423 01:40:50.039 --> 01:40:54.079 this is a mobipad. Maybe they know what they're talking about. Maybe they 1424 01:40:54.159 --> 01:40:57.720 don't. Maybe they heard magnets and they're assuming that it's going to connect the 1425 01:40:57.760 --> 01:41:00.960 device. Maybe those are magnetic fields that are the hall sensors for the joysticks. 1426 01:41:01.199 --> 01:41:05.399 There's a bunch of questions here. Still, my guess would be it's 1427 01:41:05.439 --> 01:41:09.920 like mag safe, Like you still connected, like there's a lock, but 1428 01:41:09.960 --> 01:41:13.319 the magnets help to guide it on there and keep it feeling more secure. 1429 01:41:14.000 --> 01:41:17.199 It does say the word sucks. Maybe they misunderstand how magnets work. I 1430 01:41:17.239 --> 01:41:23.119 don't think sucking has anything to do with magnets. I mean, listen, 1431 01:41:23.159 --> 01:41:26.680 I don't know. I'm I'm not I think for you don't know the attraction 1432 01:41:26.800 --> 01:41:30.760 could be described as sucking. Right, Well, I'm okay. Did you 1433 01:41:30.760 --> 01:41:32.760 think but like, if you have like an air locks sort of situation, 1434 01:41:33.199 --> 01:41:36.520 you think magnets would probably help that whole process, right? I think it's 1435 01:41:36.520 --> 01:41:42.720 gonna help. I like the idea of magnet sucking. I think, yeah, 1436 01:41:42.920 --> 01:41:45.439 we got aft photo on the Taylor Swift album. This is getting out 1437 01:41:45.479 --> 01:41:53.199 of hand track fifteen Magnet Sucking. I searched magnetic flashlight and it keeps showing 1438 01:41:53.279 --> 01:41:57.159 me magnetic flashlights. Like I said, what I said, Yeah, you 1439 01:41:57.199 --> 01:41:59.840 gotta click on that button. That's like, no, I miant it meant 1440 01:41:59.880 --> 01:42:06.640 that. So you think that's like an interchangeable top high No no, no, 1441 01:42:06.880 --> 01:42:13.319 no, you didn't. Yeah, like, okay, I stand corrected, 1442 01:42:13.520 --> 01:42:17.000 Sorry, okay, getting this back on the rail. So I'm gonna 1443 01:42:17.039 --> 01:42:20.000 try here. Uh, it's my fault. I recognize that. Okay, 1444 01:42:20.079 --> 01:42:24.479 good as long as they also pat's like, oh, it's also gonna have 1445 01:42:24.520 --> 01:42:27.520 a ten ADP screen, a bigger screen. It'll be fully backward compatible both 1446 01:42:27.560 --> 01:42:30.760 physical and digital games. It'll have a four K DOC. Again, we 1447 01:42:30.760 --> 01:42:33.520 don't know if this stuff is real doc. Well, like a doc, 1448 01:42:33.600 --> 01:42:41.479 then the four K doc is just it's am I going to have to wait 1449 01:42:41.520 --> 01:42:45.119 a couple more years for an O LED then, So that's There's another rumor 1450 01:42:45.159 --> 01:42:49.520 that says right now Nintendo has gone into production and they have both an LCD 1451 01:42:49.680 --> 01:42:54.439 model and maybe a more expensive O lead model. That's cool. I hope 1452 01:42:54.520 --> 01:42:58.960 the way it goes is there is a more expensive O Lead and that's like 1453 01:42:59.000 --> 01:43:00.640 the home console version. That could be the hybrid. And I hope they 1454 01:43:00.640 --> 01:43:04.119 have like a switch light ready to go that is the LC model that I 1455 01:43:04.239 --> 01:43:10.399 like. That Apparently those the new iPad pros are gonna have old leads too. 1456 01:43:11.079 --> 01:43:15.119 I thank you. That's well, I know what I'm gonna I know, 1457 01:43:15.399 --> 01:43:18.079 I know what are we doing. I forgot we were talking about the 1458 01:43:18.079 --> 01:43:24.159 switch. I got so wrapped up in the electromatics magnetic section that I completely 1459 01:43:24.159 --> 01:43:28.119 forgot this is about well, did you discover anything in your search? That's 1460 01:43:28.199 --> 01:43:30.800 sorry, I don't know. And I also I don't remember what Jeff said 1461 01:43:30.840 --> 01:43:32.520 to me, so I was just like so wrapped up. I was like, 1462 01:43:33.000 --> 01:43:36.720 my bad, I switch to he hear me out, hear me out. 1463 01:43:36.960 --> 01:43:43.279 What if then the switch to has a magnetic wearable right that you rip 1464 01:43:43.319 --> 01:43:46.399 off your wrist and you slap onto your switch to. You are obsessed, 1465 01:43:46.479 --> 01:43:50.840 Jan, I'm gonna just map this console. I'm gonna go to Allie Express. 1466 01:43:50.880 --> 01:43:54.520 I'm just gonna order a couple of things and I'm gonna make my own 1467 01:43:54.520 --> 01:43:58.600 wearable console and brought you by that. You just saw Yu gi oh as 1468 01:43:58.640 --> 01:44:00.600 a kid, and now you're like that, Scott, it has to exist 1469 01:44:00.600 --> 01:44:05.000 for me for real. That's exactly, That's what I'm hearing here. Thank 1470 01:44:05.039 --> 01:44:08.359 you for understanding. At least you want to get to the heart of the 1471 01:44:08.359 --> 01:44:12.880 cards, and I understand that exactly. You know, my main motivation here 1472 01:44:12.880 --> 01:44:16.920 at GiantBomb dot com is getting to the heart of the cards and friendship releasing 1473 01:44:17.479 --> 01:44:21.840 Merge. I just got the press release. Oh really yeah, Oh, 1474 01:44:23.239 --> 01:44:28.880 very exciting. We'll have to learn more about electro medicanetic section if Nintendo ever 1475 01:44:28.960 --> 01:44:31.119 tells us what that means, and that who knows when that will happen. 1476 01:44:31.800 --> 01:44:35.920 Part of the rumors of like the thing going into production is that, hey, 1477 01:44:35.920 --> 01:44:39.840 the systems could still launch this year, and everyone else is saying that's 1478 01:44:39.880 --> 01:44:43.640 not going to happen, So there's a sporadic rumors. Who knows what is 1479 01:44:43.680 --> 01:44:45.359 real and what's not. We won't know for sure until Nintendo says something. 1480 01:44:45.960 --> 01:44:48.840 At the moment, though, I think there's this is smoke, because there's 1481 01:44:48.840 --> 01:44:53.640 fire. This thing is happening soon ish, in the next twelve months or 1482 01:44:53.680 --> 01:44:55.920 so, so we're going to get more and more of these stories. That 1483 01:44:56.039 --> 01:44:59.680 was very close to an Ed Sheeran lyric, Oh no, oh, Jesus, 1484 01:44:59.720 --> 01:45:02.640 I'm so sorry. All right. Moving along, Escape from Tarkoff Studio 1485 01:45:02.680 --> 01:45:08.000 attempts partial U turn on two hundred and fifty dollars PvE plans, but fans 1486 01:45:08.039 --> 01:45:13.399 remain unhappy. The studio behind the game Escape From Tarkoff planned to add a 1487 01:45:13.439 --> 01:45:16.600 PV mode exclusively to a new two hundred and fifty dollars edition of the game, 1488 01:45:16.960 --> 01:45:20.920 but this decision has sparked anger among players. Players who purchased the previous 1489 01:45:21.000 --> 01:45:26.159 one hundred dollars Edge of Darkness edition, which included a season pass promising access 1490 01:45:26.199 --> 01:45:29.960 to all future DLC, were upset to learn that they wouldn't get the new 1491 01:45:29.960 --> 01:45:33.239 PV mode. The studio initially claimed that the PV mode doesn't count as DLC, 1492 01:45:33.439 --> 01:45:38.000 but then announced plans to competsate Edge of Darkness owners with additional features and 1493 01:45:38.079 --> 01:45:41.840 time limited access to the mode. However, players were not satisfied with this 1494 01:45:41.880 --> 01:45:45.119 offtware and continue to express their dissatisfaction, and a new statement the studio CEO 1495 01:45:45.199 --> 01:45:48.760 has doubled down on the belief that the PvE mode is not DLC. But 1496 01:45:48.800 --> 01:45:54.000 has announced that it will be made available free for all Edge of Darkness owners 1497 01:45:54.000 --> 01:45:57.439 at the game's release. Players argue that this doesn't resolve the issue, as 1498 01:45:57.479 --> 01:46:00.319 the game has been in early access for years and the release date is still 1499 01:46:00.399 --> 01:46:04.159 uncertain. This was like a relatively big story this week for like this community 1500 01:46:04.199 --> 01:46:08.319 that has a lot of players, and it feels like one of those moments 1501 01:46:08.319 --> 01:46:12.600 where a studio that had built up a lot of love and admiration kind of 1502 01:46:12.600 --> 01:46:15.920 pissed it all down the drain in one go because they're trying to clearly trying 1503 01:46:15.960 --> 01:46:18.760 to make more money for this game that's in early access, and they did 1504 01:46:18.760 --> 01:46:23.119 something that feels manipulative and like, oh no, that doesn't count as DLC 1505 01:46:23.159 --> 01:46:26.840 when everyone doesn't understand how it doesn't. Is this the kind of thing that 1506 01:46:26.960 --> 01:46:30.000 a studio like this can bounce back from? What do y'all think? The 1507 01:46:30.119 --> 01:46:33.279 hundred and fifty dollars is crazy? Yeah, that's the thing I'm like most 1508 01:46:33.279 --> 01:46:38.600 confused about right, A mode only for people who spend two hundred and fifty 1509 01:46:38.600 --> 01:46:43.119 dollars on your game? That's bananas to me? How does that even work? 1510 01:46:43.159 --> 01:46:45.399 But I mean they're, you know, they're trying it I think they 1511 01:46:45.439 --> 01:46:47.079 think they could. They think they might have been able to get away with 1512 01:46:47.079 --> 01:46:50.520 it in certain a certain set of circumstances, but that's not happening here. 1513 01:46:50.640 --> 01:46:55.159 Everyone is very mad about it. Yeah, this feels like a very different 1514 01:46:56.199 --> 01:47:00.039 argument than what we're talking about last week, even with the Star Wars job 1515 01:47:00.079 --> 01:47:03.399 of the Hut mission being behind the Collector's edition. Oh yeah, it's is 1516 01:47:03.439 --> 01:47:08.960 completely different. Escape from Tarkoff is still an early access, yes, yes, 1517 01:47:09.279 --> 01:47:11.399 over years and years and years. Yes. Okay, yeah, that's 1518 01:47:11.399 --> 01:47:14.079 why I was confused when I saw early access. But yeah, that seems 1519 01:47:14.079 --> 01:47:18.399 insane. I think it's something they could bounce back from with enough back peddling. 1520 01:47:19.039 --> 01:47:23.880 For sure. There is that Gray Zone Warfare game I think that's launching 1521 01:47:23.920 --> 01:47:26.840 today or this week that a lot of fans are talking about, we're gonna 1522 01:47:26.840 --> 01:47:29.520 go to that instead, And I think if they, if that game, 1523 01:47:29.600 --> 01:47:32.520 I can withstand that influx of players. That's the kind of thing where you 1524 01:47:32.520 --> 01:47:35.880 know your thunder could be stolen. But if people can only get what they're 1525 01:47:35.880 --> 01:47:40.159 looking for from Tarkoff, which many people I know Christians in chat saying it's 1526 01:47:40.199 --> 01:47:42.039 like, you know, one of his favorite games ever, it's the best 1527 01:47:42.039 --> 01:47:45.840 Shooter. Ever, at a lot of fans do feel that way, and 1528 01:47:45.159 --> 01:47:48.119 if they can only get that action from Tarkoff, they'll return to it as 1529 01:47:48.119 --> 01:47:54.000 long as the developer, like you know is, apologizes enough. We've I 1530 01:47:54.039 --> 01:47:57.000 think we've seen over and over again that these studios can make mistakes and bounce 1531 01:47:57.079 --> 01:48:00.319 back. CD Project right clearly has done that. Not everyone does, but 1532 01:48:00.359 --> 01:48:03.039 it seems like it's possible, so I think they'll likely go for that here. 1533 01:48:03.600 --> 01:48:08.640 Yeah, I think like Tarkov has, like in that specific genre, 1534 01:48:08.680 --> 01:48:12.359 there are so many other games that have tried to do what Tarkov does and 1535 01:48:12.439 --> 01:48:15.840 have just not been able to replicate that level of success, and over time, 1536 01:48:16.399 --> 01:48:21.399 Tarkov, as the Extraction Shooter is kind of likes has its claws so 1537 01:48:21.600 --> 01:48:25.720 deep ingrained in like the people who want that kind of game that they just 1538 01:48:25.760 --> 01:48:29.199 have like a I feel like they have just like a level of staying power 1539 01:48:29.319 --> 01:48:32.199 that is that they can fumble like this and it'll hurt them in the short 1540 01:48:32.319 --> 01:48:36.159 term, but for now, like as everyone else is trying to crack the 1541 01:48:36.199 --> 01:48:41.640 code on this style of game, they're still going to have the dedicated install 1542 01:48:41.680 --> 01:48:44.840 base and that kind of legacy to go along with it. Even though they're 1543 01:48:45.000 --> 01:48:48.000 technically still an early access, which is wild to me. But I mean, 1544 01:48:48.680 --> 01:48:53.920 yeah, I think Tarkov is it's such a big name at this point. 1545 01:48:54.760 --> 01:48:57.239 Yeah, there's clearly a pathway for them to fix this. I think 1546 01:48:57.239 --> 01:49:00.960 you're right where it's as long as they don't he's doubling down. But I 1547 01:49:00.960 --> 01:49:02.239 mean if they find a way to like make good with the fans, Like 1548 01:49:02.239 --> 01:49:05.840 they're definitely trying to still get away with some of this, but I think 1549 01:49:05.840 --> 01:49:09.920 the fans are like no, fully reversed, completely given to what we want. 1550 01:49:10.000 --> 01:49:12.600 It feels like middle It feels like they were like turning the knob, 1551 01:49:12.680 --> 01:49:15.520 like can we try to do this? And then they just fucking crank that 1552 01:49:15.520 --> 01:49:18.840 ship and they said, oh way yo yo yo, yops. It just 1553 01:49:18.960 --> 01:49:21.279 yeah, it just feels like such a like the thing is. It's like 1554 01:49:21.279 --> 01:49:26.880 I don't know, CD Project Red bounced back from like like Cyberpunk was rushed 1555 01:49:26.920 --> 01:49:30.439 and came out and like came out a little too early and wasn't really ready 1556 01:49:30.520 --> 01:49:33.680 for consumption. But this I remember what it was like, and that thing 1557 01:49:33.760 --> 01:49:39.079 launched. There was like international news stories about like this terrible game. I 1558 01:49:39.119 --> 01:49:42.279 remember, I very much remember like the bounce back is great, but like 1559 01:49:42.359 --> 01:49:45.800 that's sort of like like the game needed to be fixed and that was what 1560 01:49:45.880 --> 01:49:48.720 was going on. This is like the game's fine. The company was just 1561 01:49:48.760 --> 01:49:53.159 like, oh, we forgot to mention. We're like really greedy and like 1562 01:49:53.399 --> 01:49:56.319 yield that at all their fans and like, I don't know, how do 1563 01:49:56.359 --> 01:49:59.319 you how do you come back from that? I don't know. I hope 1564 01:49:59.319 --> 01:50:01.800 they do. I I've heard great things about this game, but like this 1565 01:50:01.880 --> 01:50:08.960 is just so nakedly greedy. It's crazy. Yeah, it's we'll see. 1566 01:50:08.960 --> 01:50:11.119 I bet a lot of people will have decided at this moment. They're like, 1567 01:50:11.119 --> 01:50:12.760 now I'm just done with this. I don't want to deal with the 1568 01:50:12.800 --> 01:50:16.079 studio. That's like that that does happen. Speaking of a similar story, 1569 01:50:16.079 --> 01:50:20.239 We've heard your voices, says two K as they unbanned popular WWE two K 1570 01:50:20.279 --> 01:50:26.479 twenty four moder What's the Status. Following fan backlash, two K and WWE 1571 01:50:26.479 --> 01:50:30.079 Games have lifted the indefinite ban on popular moder What's the Status, who had 1572 01:50:30.159 --> 01:50:34.239 been restricted from the online portion of WWE two K twenty four. The band 1573 01:50:34.279 --> 01:50:39.720 was initially implemented due to violation of terms, which included mods that negatively impacted 1574 01:50:39.720 --> 01:50:43.560 the game experience for other players. However, following a backlash from the community, 1575 01:50:43.800 --> 01:50:46.319 two K and Status reached an agreement allowing the latter to return with some 1576 01:50:46.399 --> 01:50:50.920 of his content that doesn't cause stability issues. It remains uncertain what the agreement 1577 01:50:51.439 --> 01:50:56.439 entails, as some of Status's popular mods, such as allowing female wrestlers to 1578 01:50:56.439 --> 01:51:00.920 fight male wrestlers, may not be reinstated due to WWE's brand and guidelines. 1579 01:51:00.239 --> 01:51:04.640 Status expressed a desire for equal treatment, highlighting that he wasn't the only wasn't 1580 01:51:04.640 --> 01:51:11.039 the only one to upload intergender content to face the consequences while others went unpunished. 1581 01:51:12.720 --> 01:51:16.000 This does seem to be based on like, hey, the WWE games 1582 01:51:16.039 --> 01:51:21.079 themselves didn't like that someone was enabling people to you to have men fight women 1583 01:51:21.159 --> 01:51:26.159 in the game, And WWE is definitely in a scenario right now where that 1584 01:51:26.239 --> 01:51:29.520 might look especially bad based on the stories that have come out of that company 1585 01:51:29.520 --> 01:51:32.039 in the last year. But it also was the kind of thing where like, 1586 01:51:32.079 --> 01:51:35.520 people buy this game so they can go into the user generated content and 1587 01:51:35.520 --> 01:51:39.760 mess around with that stuff, and there was a massive backlash, so I'm 1588 01:51:39.760 --> 01:51:42.359 not too surprised that they backpedaled a little bit here and found a way to 1589 01:51:42.359 --> 01:51:44.920 make it work. And also it sounds like what the status was like, 1590 01:51:44.960 --> 01:51:47.199 Hey, no, this this conversation was good. This is all reasonable, 1591 01:51:47.239 --> 01:51:49.439 and I'm coming back and I'm going to keep making stuff, so kind of 1592 01:51:49.439 --> 01:51:54.279 all was well, that ends well, right. It just feels very weird, 1593 01:51:54.399 --> 01:52:01.039 and like I understand that an non Nintendo ww is treading on is trying 1594 01:52:01.039 --> 01:52:05.399 to step carefully because of the current goings on in the legal battling and all 1595 01:52:05.439 --> 01:52:10.880 that jazz. Uh, But I don't know. We've had men fighting women 1596 01:52:11.159 --> 01:52:15.279 in fighting games and what feels like forever Yep, yeah, it's it's it's 1597 01:52:15.319 --> 01:52:19.359 a weird Like on its face, it feels a little bit weird because we 1598 01:52:19.640 --> 01:52:23.359 all know what, you know, wrestling is, and it's like, you 1599 01:52:23.399 --> 01:52:27.079 know, uh, in the video game, it's like one layer more of 1600 01:52:27.119 --> 01:52:30.920 abstraction from that. So if Raybisterio, you know, can beat up the 1601 01:52:30.960 --> 01:52:34.239 biggest wrestlers in the world, I kind of feel like, what's why are 1602 01:52:34.279 --> 01:52:38.840 we making bones about this? But I think they're just worried about a perception 1603 01:52:39.039 --> 01:52:42.479 thing and people being like hey, and and I think they're worried about going 1604 01:52:42.520 --> 01:52:45.600 to court and someone saying something crazy like and in the video game, look 1605 01:52:45.600 --> 01:52:49.239 at this man beat up this woman. They obviously don't care about about these 1606 01:52:49.239 --> 01:52:54.079 sorts of issues or something like that, and and the like the amount of 1607 01:52:54.119 --> 01:52:55.960 stuff that they're gonna have to deal with in court. I sort of don't 1608 01:52:55.960 --> 01:52:58.800 blame them because they have a lot to answer for. So why add one 1609 01:52:58.840 --> 01:53:01.760 more thing to the pile? Or sure? I mean, I don't know. 1610 01:53:01.800 --> 01:53:05.239 I just see currently where the roster's at that there are women that can 1611 01:53:05.279 --> 01:53:11.600 out wrestle like so many of the male superstars on that roster. Yep, 1612 01:53:11.640 --> 01:53:15.239 I would I Ray Ripley should be able to, you know, fight whoever 1613 01:53:15.279 --> 01:53:17.239 she wants in that video game. I think that'd be great. Let Kyrie 1614 01:53:17.359 --> 01:53:27.359 sane elbow drop Okay, not Brockleisner u Roman reigns through hell. Yeah, 1615 01:53:27.399 --> 01:53:30.520 and yeah, they should add children wrestlers too, says no Luck. Yeah, 1616 01:53:30.600 --> 01:53:32.079 I want to let kids in there. Yeah, beat up all the 1617 01:53:32.079 --> 01:53:35.359 wrestlers. I would love that, all right. Last couple of stories, 1618 01:53:35.359 --> 01:53:42.680 Gary's Mad Studios removing twenty years of Nintendo uploads following DMC takedowns. Gary's mod 1619 01:53:42.680 --> 01:53:46.279 is Sandback's game with a large repository of user uploaded content is removing all Nintendo 1620 01:53:46.319 --> 01:53:54.119 related content from its Steam Workshop following DMCA takedown requests from Nintendo kind of feels 1621 01:53:54.159 --> 01:53:57.359 like the only reason this is surprising is because it's lasted this long, Right, 1622 01:53:58.079 --> 01:54:00.319 That's the only thing, because what are we doing? Well, get 1623 01:54:00.359 --> 01:54:05.880 because like Valve runs Steam Workshop, that's a corporation offering up, you know, 1624 01:54:06.199 --> 01:54:11.079 IP infringement on their own service. Like that was never gonna last forever. 1625 01:54:11.439 --> 01:54:14.840 It's only weird because it lasted this long. So Nintendo showing up and 1626 01:54:14.880 --> 01:54:16.439 saying please take that down and everyone being like, yeah, of course we're 1627 01:54:16.439 --> 01:54:19.880 taking that down is the natural end of that story. And the good news 1628 01:54:19.960 --> 01:54:25.039 is all that content is available elsewhere online, just like every other mod that 1629 01:54:25.079 --> 01:54:28.680 infringes on IP. So it like, go do your thing. Everyone, 1630 01:54:28.720 --> 01:54:31.279 keep doing your thing. It's totally fine. Yes Nintendo is skibbety, but 1631 01:54:31.800 --> 01:54:40.279 you can keep being skibbity. Yeah. I'm not too worked up about this. 1632 01:54:40.359 --> 01:54:43.239 I get it, but I get why people are like annoyed by it. 1633 01:54:43.279 --> 01:54:46.199 But this is this was always gonna happen. Yes, I don't think 1634 01:54:46.399 --> 01:54:49.600 it's worth getting worked up over too. It's just you know, at this 1635 01:54:49.760 --> 01:54:54.680 point, all you can do is sort of just you know, shrug your 1636 01:54:54.720 --> 01:55:00.439 shoulders grub. Last time we talked about this, I think it was Game 1637 01:55:00.520 --> 01:55:03.479 US last week. But yeah, of Nintendo of America. Law is just 1638 01:55:03.520 --> 01:55:09.359 trying to be busy and finding new things to to take down. M M. 1639 01:55:09.520 --> 01:55:14.479 It feels like Nintendo in the last couple of years has discovered what Steam 1640 01:55:14.600 --> 01:55:20.880 is. Yeah. I think probably what happens is their conversations expand internally about 1641 01:55:20.920 --> 01:55:26.600 like how can we be in more places and have more representation? And someone 1642 01:55:26.640 --> 01:55:29.439 starts a conversation like okay, PC is big, what can we do to 1643 01:55:29.439 --> 01:55:32.119 be on PC? And like I don't know, maybe one day we could 1644 01:55:32.399 --> 01:55:35.359 like license Mario to be on something. And it's like that's forever, Like 1645 01:55:35.560 --> 01:55:39.000 we're not even sure if we're going to do that. But because they're having 1646 01:55:39.039 --> 01:55:42.560 the conversation, they are more aware of these platforms, and like someone does 1647 01:55:42.600 --> 01:55:45.119 start looking into it and the lawyers are like, hey, uh, we 1648 01:55:45.279 --> 01:55:46.119 discovered this, so we're going to go after it now. It's like, 1649 01:55:46.159 --> 01:55:48.359 yeah, of course that's what we always do. That would be a real 1650 01:55:48.399 --> 01:55:55.520 sketch of like, yeah, twenty twenty four and everyone at is it a 1651 01:55:55.520 --> 01:55:59.399 boardroom being like you could be you could put any anyone in it, like 1652 01:55:59.560 --> 01:56:03.039 Louis. You can make Luigi a barrel in this thing? Like what's happening? 1653 01:56:03.159 --> 01:56:08.159 No, does that mean I can't be like the Mario sixty forehead and 1654 01:56:08.239 --> 01:56:13.359 Tower Tower unit anymore? Uh? Probably, probably not. I need to 1655 01:56:13.359 --> 01:56:15.920 shut the fuck up. Then, yeah, come on, don't put that 1656 01:56:15.960 --> 01:56:19.479 out there. Listen, that stuff is elsewhere. There's more than one game 1657 01:56:19.600 --> 01:56:25.800 on Steam. Oh my god, wait until they find out all the Mario 1658 01:56:25.880 --> 01:56:30.920 clones on mobile for the past twelve decades. Oh yeah, yeah, they'll 1659 01:56:30.399 --> 01:56:33.119 they'll get around to that in like what like twenty forty. Do you think 1660 01:56:33.159 --> 01:56:39.159 they've ever they've ever presented something to this board meeting and someone has to check 1661 01:56:39.199 --> 01:56:43.479 them and like, no, no, no, that's us. Probably yeah, 1662 01:56:43.520 --> 01:56:46.439 probably they're like Super Mario Run. That's not a real game. Then 1663 01:56:46.800 --> 01:56:50.119 wait a minute. There's this yellow Mario. He's kind of fat, he 1664 01:56:50.239 --> 01:56:56.560 farts a lot, he picks his nose. There's a purple one. Now, 1665 01:56:57.119 --> 01:57:01.199 oh he needed a doubles tennis partner. My god, show Mario is 1666 01:57:01.199 --> 01:57:06.760 gonna go crazy all right. Finally, Wrestful trails to Matthew Shell, who 1667 01:57:06.840 --> 01:57:13.079 is a longtime veteran at LucasArts. He did sadly pass away. Apparently any 1668 01:57:13.279 --> 01:57:15.840 LucasArts game in the last twenty years. Matthew Show is in the credits a 1669 01:57:15.840 --> 01:57:19.640 lot of kind words said about him. So rest in peace and wrestle trails 1670 01:57:19.640 --> 01:57:24.520 to Matthew Shall. But that does it for the news, Jan I'm handing 1671 01:57:24.560 --> 01:57:27.680 the show back over to you.

First email 1697 01:59:38.600 --> 01:59:41.640 is a little bit of a heavy one. This comes from Leo from La 1698 01:59:42.079 --> 01:59:45.399 Hi Bombcasters. I have a short story and a question for you. But 1699 01:59:45.479 --> 01:59:47.640 first, I've been listening to your podcast now for ten months. Hey, 1700 01:59:47.760 --> 01:59:51.880 welcome buddy, and I love hearing all your feelings and opinions on games and 1701 01:59:53.039 --> 01:59:55.680 life. So may be a bit odd parentheses, I'm looking at you, 1702 01:59:55.760 --> 01:59:59.039 Dan, but you all never fail to entertain and make me smile, so 1703 01:59:59.119 --> 02:00:00.720 thank you. Okay, now the story. I've been a gamer in my 1704 02:00:00.760 --> 02:00:02.840 whole life. I was probably born with a control in my hand, and 1705 02:00:02.880 --> 02:00:06.159 I met my partner over twenty five years ago. She was not into games 1706 02:00:06.199 --> 02:00:10.760 when we met, but my love and enthusiasm over gaming convinced her to give 1707 02:00:10.760 --> 02:00:13.640 it a try. The main game that pulled her in was World of Warcraft 1708 02:00:13.680 --> 02:00:15.920 and we played it for many years. However, she got a job in 1709 02:00:15.960 --> 02:00:19.439 an environmental education teaching kids, and since most of her work and time is 1710 02:00:19.439 --> 02:00:24.000 spent outdoors, she drifted away from gaming. Two years ago, she was 1711 02:00:24.000 --> 02:00:27.319 diagnosed with terminal cancer, and although she doesn't let it stop her, she's 1712 02:00:27.359 --> 02:00:30.520 now becoming unable to have energy to be an educator and be outdoors. This 1713 02:00:30.560 --> 02:00:34.600 has led back. This has led her back to us gaming together again, 1714 02:00:34.720 --> 02:00:39.479 and now the two biggest games she wants to play is Wow and Hogwarts Legacy 1715 02:00:39.760 --> 02:00:44.319 with the demo and long live chemo and long hospital visits, a laptop is 1716 02:00:44.319 --> 02:00:47.159 the best option for her, And although I've built both rpcs over the years, 1717 02:00:47.279 --> 02:00:50.479 when it comes to laptops, I'm at a loss. It feels like 1718 02:00:50.560 --> 02:00:54.920 it's go big or go home. But I know there must be laptops capable 1719 02:00:54.920 --> 02:00:58.319 of playing both of those games at a decent frame rate for her. Long 1720 02:00:58.319 --> 02:01:00.600 story short, I know too late. Due to medical expenses. The most 1721 02:01:00.600 --> 02:01:03.319 we can afford is about six hundred dollars for a laptop. I hear guys 1722 02:01:03.359 --> 02:01:08.880 talking about everything from consoles to keyboards, but is there anything the gang has 1723 02:01:08.920 --> 02:01:12.840 to uh in terms of suggestions for a good laptop that'll get the job done. 1724 02:01:13.119 --> 02:01:15.159 Ps, keep doing what you're doing because you're all great at it. 1725 02:01:15.319 --> 02:01:18.319 Never stop doing what you love and treasure every moment of it. Kisses on 1726 02:01:18.319 --> 02:01:21.159 the cheek all around and consent and kiss on the lips for you. Jan 1727 02:01:23.279 --> 02:01:27.000 all the best, Helly Leo from lare. That was great as long as 1728 02:01:27.039 --> 02:01:30.720 it's consensual. I'm down. Yeah, and you play Wow on a Steam 1729 02:01:30.760 --> 02:01:32.800 deck. I know you can play Hogwarts Legacy on a Steam deck. Yeah, 1730 02:01:33.279 --> 02:01:38.279 you can get Wow running on a steam deck controller support actually yeah, 1731 02:01:38.640 --> 02:01:42.520 yeah, like you got the touch pads, you can like completely program though, 1732 02:01:42.560 --> 02:01:44.520 so I bet you can get wow, working pretty decent on that. 1733 02:01:44.720 --> 02:01:46.239 Yeah, and you don't even need to get an o LED steam Deck at 1734 02:01:46.279 --> 02:01:50.359 this point the original LCD models, I think even if you're looking on if 1735 02:01:50.359 --> 02:01:56.720 you don't mind secondhand peripherals and stuff, go to Craigslist, Facebook, marketplace. 1736 02:01:56.960 --> 02:02:01.760 As soon as the o LED dropped the US for the LCD steam Deck, 1737 02:02:01.880 --> 02:02:05.760 Yeah, they created cratered tanking. You could get one for you could 1738 02:02:05.760 --> 02:02:11.560 both get one for six hundred dollars probably, yeah, probably just get a 1739 02:02:11.720 --> 02:02:13.960 dock so you can put it on a TV. Get some kind of like 1740 02:02:14.159 --> 02:02:16.199 keyboard mouse situation you can hook up to it. I think that's going to 1741 02:02:16.239 --> 02:02:20.159 be your most cost effective and like best running solution. Yeah, you could 1742 02:02:20.279 --> 02:02:25.479 really totally. You could also hook up a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to it 1743 02:02:25.560 --> 02:02:30.760 if you don't want to have to reconfigure, remap the controls to better fit 1744 02:02:30.159 --> 02:02:34.439 the steam deck or whatever does the asist roger. I'm assuming that could just 1745 02:02:35.600 --> 02:02:39.399 fire up wow, no problem, right, yep, that would just work. 1746 02:02:39.479 --> 02:02:42.840 Yeah, Because it's essentially it's a touch bad so you would just be 1747 02:02:42.840 --> 02:02:45.039 playing on a controller there and that's a little bit more challenging. But you 1748 02:02:45.039 --> 02:02:49.720 can hook up like a like a big dock to like, Yeah, that 1749 02:02:49.720 --> 02:02:54.239 would work great. Yeah, if leo, I definitely suggest that, Yeah, 1750 02:02:54.520 --> 02:02:57.640 if you are looking for if you do want to go to the laptop 1751 02:02:57.720 --> 02:03:01.279 route, though, six hundred bucks is a bit a bit tight on budget. 1752 02:03:01.479 --> 02:03:04.159 But the main thing if you're looking for something that's going to run good 1753 02:03:04.159 --> 02:03:09.000 games, I think the main thing you need to look at is what graphics 1754 02:03:09.000 --> 02:03:13.800 card it has that will pretty much dictate everything else in terms of its graphical 1755 02:03:13.840 --> 02:03:18.239 capabilities. Because a lot of high end laptops that have great processors, lots 1756 02:03:18.279 --> 02:03:21.920 of RAM and a lot of hard drive space like big SSDs on them, 1757 02:03:23.760 --> 02:03:26.640 they skimp out on the graphics and you end up having to rely on integrated 1758 02:03:26.640 --> 02:03:29.439 graphics cards, which aren't the best. So if you can get something with 1759 02:03:29.479 --> 02:03:33.720 a dedicated graphics card like somewhere in like the like the RTX, I don't 1760 02:03:33.720 --> 02:03:38.199 know, the three series. Three series laptops are thirty series still pretty good. 1761 02:03:38.279 --> 02:03:40.920 Yeah, that's and you'd be able to get affordable laptop with like thirty 1762 02:03:40.960 --> 02:03:44.720 thirty sixty six, thirty fifty definitely would be affordable. Yeah, yeah, 1763 02:03:44.760 --> 02:03:46.840 so, but if you want to go that route. But otherwise I kind 1764 02:03:46.840 --> 02:03:53.479 of I think steam Deck is the most conducive for the situation. I suppose 1765 02:03:55.079 --> 02:03:59.000 fantastic shouts out to you, Leo and your wife. I hope you can 1766 02:03:59.039 --> 02:04:03.560 continue gaming together. Next email is about t shirts. Hey, duders, 1767 02:04:05.199 --> 02:04:09.159 say you have a favorite shirt and you get a stain on it. You 1768 02:04:09.199 --> 02:04:13.239 try multiple times to remove said stain, but it just won't come off. 1769 02:04:13.479 --> 02:04:15.640 The stain is definitely noticeable, but the shirt is clean, you still wear 1770 02:04:15.680 --> 02:04:19.319 it. At what point are you going to replace the shirt? How big 1771 02:04:19.439 --> 02:04:23.880 as too big? Is there a stain location that would make it unwearable? 1772 02:04:24.159 --> 02:04:27.199 Or do you just live your life with a clean stained shirt and hope society 1773 02:04:27.279 --> 02:04:30.920 accepts you. Get ready, getting ready to go out for a birthday dinner 1774 02:04:30.960 --> 02:04:39.880 and I need advice. Thanks shirt stained Goomer from Cerritos, Califonia for this. 1775 02:04:40.159 --> 02:04:42.640 First of all, it really depends on the location and color of the 1776 02:04:42.640 --> 02:04:48.439 stain. If the stain is below tit level, essentially you can crop that 1777 02:04:48.560 --> 02:04:55.000 top no problem or fucking tied eye it's coming back. Do it have fun, 1778 02:04:55.079 --> 02:04:58.079 have a fun tied I day and then your favorite shirt has a cool 1779 02:04:58.119 --> 02:05:01.000 new burst of life. I think the answer would be tied. That's awesome, 1780 02:05:01.720 --> 02:05:06.039 it's fun, fixes everything. Yeah, and the whole shirt is stained. 1781 02:05:08.800 --> 02:05:11.199 It's a fashionable thing. You can also just do what I do and 1782 02:05:11.319 --> 02:05:15.439 only own black T shirts. Well, what if you have like black teas 1783 02:05:15.520 --> 02:05:17.319 with like graphics on them, What if they like got on the graphic. 1784 02:05:17.720 --> 02:05:25.640 They can't, You just can't. They can't. Science has uh bested that, 1785 02:05:26.439 --> 02:05:30.680 uh screen printing technology is above staining, and uh it's never an issue. 1786 02:05:30.880 --> 02:05:36.399 So I say, I say, you rock that ship. I do 1787 02:05:36.479 --> 02:05:44.600 think it depends if it's like a very unfortunate location and you're wearing like I 1788 02:05:44.600 --> 02:05:47.840 don't know, it's I think there's a reason, like if you got if 1789 02:05:47.840 --> 02:05:51.479 you got like a crispy white tea with like a big ass like Hawaiian punch 1790 02:05:51.520 --> 02:05:55.640 stain on it that doesn't come out like you look like a fucking child, 1791 02:05:55.720 --> 02:06:00.279 you cannot wear that ever in public. So circumstances, it depends. Anywhere 1792 02:06:00.319 --> 02:06:03.359 on the back of the T shirt, it's totally fine. You can have 1793 02:06:03.840 --> 02:06:08.800 the worst possible stain imaginable, and as long as it's like in the back, 1794 02:06:08.880 --> 02:06:12.399 like who cares, so at least you got that going for you. 1795 02:06:12.520 --> 02:06:15.600 If they are sweat stains from your armpits, though, throw that shit in 1796 02:06:15.600 --> 02:06:20.920 the trash. Yes, that's garbage. No amount of tie dye can save 1797 02:06:20.960 --> 02:06:28.760 you from that. Yeah all right. Next email is about avoiding awkwardness. 1798 02:06:28.840 --> 02:06:31.560 I forgot to write the emailer's name. Yo ya ya yah, yeah yo 1799 02:06:31.640 --> 02:06:35.479 yo. I'm at a cool skater bar with a halfpipe in Barcelona, and 1800 02:06:35.520 --> 02:06:40.039 my two friends went to the bathroom, so I'm guarding the drinks see attached 1801 02:06:40.079 --> 02:06:43.039 image, and it's going to take a few minutes, so I wanted something 1802 02:06:43.039 --> 02:06:45.159 to do. I'm a little drunk. I love your pod jan You're such 1803 02:06:45.159 --> 02:06:48.880 a sweetheart. You are the beating heart of Giina. I always love your 1804 02:06:48.960 --> 02:06:56.960 vibes and except who should I randomly insult Turbo Sean? Or is it okay? 1805 02:06:57.079 --> 02:06:59.960 Still those signs of friends returning? Anyway? This killed two minutes. 1806 02:07:00.199 --> 02:07:04.000 Now I want two people watch what's your favorite phone game to commute or killing 1807 02:07:04.039 --> 02:07:08.000 time? And why? I hope they come back soon. I love people 1808 02:07:08.479 --> 02:07:11.880 and such, but these between moments can be awkward. Thanks again, Bombers, 1809 02:07:11.960 --> 02:07:14.560 sending love and good vibes to all of you. Hard emoji I see 1810 02:07:14.560 --> 02:07:17.239 my buds. I don't know. I like these moments where it's like, 1811 02:07:17.239 --> 02:07:19.319 oh, good they left. I can like not have to talk for a 1812 02:07:19.319 --> 02:07:31.119 couple of minks. It's a reprieve favorite podcast you can. I was gonna 1813 02:07:31.119 --> 02:07:34.560 say, I like into the Breach on Netflix games. Yeah, Slay the 1814 02:07:34.560 --> 02:07:40.960 Spires one I should try on mobile. It's easy, it's easy. I'll 1815 02:07:40.960 --> 02:07:44.039 start doing that. But yes, Slay the Spire is my one. If 1816 02:07:44.079 --> 02:07:47.560 you want to seem cool or whatever not, it's it's going to depend on 1817 02:07:47.600 --> 02:07:51.800 who the crowd you're with. Just look up like flight data, Like, 1818 02:07:53.039 --> 02:07:56.680 why is he looking up that? That is weird? Don't do that. 1819 02:07:57.560 --> 02:07:59.800 No, I like this mode. Don't do that. What do you think 1820 02:08:00.000 --> 02:08:05.239 people think when you do that? It's just it's just distasteful in a weird 1821 02:08:05.279 --> 02:08:07.119 way. I don't I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. 1822 02:08:07.359 --> 02:08:09.439 It depends where you're wait. I would assume, oh, that's a 1823 02:08:09.439 --> 02:08:11.880 plane guy right there. That's a guy who's into planes. That's a guy 1824 02:08:13.159 --> 02:08:16.760 who puts on live YouTube videos about oh, planes are taking off at lax, 1825 02:08:16.880 --> 02:08:20.520 We'll look at the Airbus three three eighty. Is that that's what I 1826 02:08:20.560 --> 02:08:26.399 was assuming about this guy. Maybe you can also do you think a terrorists 1827 02:08:26.439 --> 02:08:30.720 back alarm? What do you think? It just it's just a suspicious activity. 1828 02:08:30.920 --> 02:08:37.880 It's just about it. Like admiring. Admiring airplanes is one thing, 1829 02:08:39.319 --> 02:08:43.319 right, I'm sitting like admiring airplanes is one thing. Admiring trains is one 1830 02:08:43.359 --> 02:08:46.399 thing. Like in you know, like was the guy who's the British dudes 1831 02:08:46.439 --> 02:08:50.199 who like loves training the trade guy. We don't the guy with the head 1832 02:08:50.199 --> 02:08:56.239 mount this is the best. He's just the best. Love yeah, observing 1833 02:08:58.960 --> 02:09:01.720 never am I like, we got to keep her eye on that guy, 1834 02:09:01.159 --> 02:09:05.079 right right, I don't know, you don't need what you're talking about, 1835 02:09:05.119 --> 02:09:11.720 like the radar, Like I don't know, it's a strange train per's whatever. 1836 02:09:13.119 --> 02:09:15.960 Yeah, I think it's fair. I think he would embrace that that 1837 02:09:16.239 --> 02:09:20.239 name for sure. You can also download there's this app that I really like. 1838 02:09:20.159 --> 02:09:24.199 I'm like suggesting things based on their question. Fun games you play on 1839 02:09:24.199 --> 02:09:30.399 your phone, not just like weird plain pervert bullshits that you can look up 1840 02:09:30.600 --> 02:09:35.840 not my business, but what you do time. But to this guy, 1841 02:09:35.960 --> 02:09:39.000 this is crazy. No, just it's okay. So this is called the 1842 02:09:39.319 --> 02:09:41.199 I like, it's called choice of games. It's an app and they do 1843 02:09:41.319 --> 02:09:46.399 choose your own adventure games that are like for grown ups, and you can 1844 02:09:46.399 --> 02:09:48.880 play it on your phone and you like, it's a good story. You 1845 02:09:48.880 --> 02:09:52.520 can play a little choose your own adventure game on your phone. It's fun. 1846 02:09:52.640 --> 02:09:54.880 There's like a pajillion of them. They're all really well written and some 1847 02:09:54.960 --> 02:09:56.680 of them won like Nebula Awards and stuff like it's great, it's good reading. 1848 02:09:58.680 --> 02:10:01.159 It's a fun game. I have to gems and like, oh fuck, 1849 02:10:01.199 --> 02:10:05.159 there's a daily limit all nineteen hours before I get refreshed. Like no, 1850 02:10:05.479 --> 02:10:07.720 it's like normal, like buying a book. You pay like three dollars 1851 02:10:07.720 --> 02:10:11.439 and you've purchased to like tens of thousands of word. Choose your own adventure 1852 02:10:11.479 --> 02:10:16.920 novel that you can that can entertain you for hours. Wear cargo shorts. 1853 02:10:18.199 --> 02:10:24.279 That's very important. And in the biggest cargo short pocket keep a steam deck 1854 02:10:24.560 --> 02:10:28.880 or an entire game like a gaming laptop. You can't put a steam deck 1855 02:10:30.079 --> 02:10:39.039 maybecklar I can even the most charitable and flexible of cargoes cannot support the girth 1856 02:10:39.279 --> 02:10:43.039 that is, and then just whip that out the second someone walks away, 1857 02:10:43.520 --> 02:10:45.640 Like the second they walk away pole, like to the point where they're like, 1858 02:10:45.680 --> 02:10:46.640 wait, what's going on here? And they're confused. I think that's 1859 02:10:46.640 --> 02:10:52.960 a cool having your day with a big old steam deck clunking around in your 1860 02:10:52.119 --> 02:10:56.479 undercarriage. I think not, I can imagine it. Well, that's why 1861 02:10:56.520 --> 02:11:03.479 you bring your wheely backpack. Yeah that's a move. Yeah all right, 1862 02:11:03.960 --> 02:11:13.279 Uh let's read two more emails. This one is about researchers. Comes from 1863 02:11:13.359 --> 02:11:18.239 Chris and Melbourne Good Day BombCast team. Every time a news story about emulators 1864 02:11:18.279 --> 02:11:22.359 or digital stores closing down is discussed, there is talk of the impact this 1865 02:11:22.439 --> 02:11:26.039 loss will have on researchers. Every time I find myself wondering about this research. 1866 02:11:26.199 --> 02:11:30.359 Who are these researchers? What are they researching? Can you expand on 1867 02:11:30.399 --> 02:11:33.119 this for me? Thanks Christ from Melbourne. That is not funny question. 1868 02:11:33.680 --> 02:11:37.840 Yeah, it's fair though, Like who's okay first? There are academics that 1869 02:11:37.880 --> 02:11:41.880 are definitely like, hey, my line of research. My line of interest 1870 02:11:41.079 --> 02:11:45.960 is video games and video game history. But I think anyone counts as a 1871 02:11:45.960 --> 02:11:48.239 researcher if you are like someone who one day maybe wants to make a game. 1872 02:11:48.680 --> 02:11:52.479 Being able to go online and playing a bunch of games in a genre, 1873 02:11:52.560 --> 02:11:54.319 like from the very beginning and be able to find that stuff easily. 1874 02:11:54.720 --> 02:11:58.399 I think it is only a benefit to the overall process of making games in 1875 02:11:58.439 --> 02:12:01.359 the future, and like covering games, I want to be able to go 1876 02:12:01.359 --> 02:12:03.800 and find something random and be like, hey, either this is something we 1877 02:12:03.800 --> 02:12:07.760 could show off on the website, or it just informs my opinion when I 1878 02:12:07.760 --> 02:12:11.560 go to play other games in that series, or that this person this was 1879 02:12:11.600 --> 02:12:15.159 their first game, and now we could talk about that. Anyone can research 1880 02:12:15.199 --> 02:12:18.119 these things, but there's definitely an academic bent out there as well, where 1881 02:12:18.119 --> 02:12:20.840 these people are like doing this as a profession. So yeah, that's generally 1882 02:12:20.880 --> 02:12:26.399 who we're talking about. Yeah, you could potentially maybe just lock yourself in 1883 02:12:26.520 --> 02:12:33.760 like a glass office like bones and just like look at spreadsheets and flight data. 1884 02:12:35.279 --> 02:12:39.479 All right, never mind, you're right, it's weird, back right, 1885 02:12:39.520 --> 02:12:41.800 all right? All right, I'm going to show up to SGF. 1886 02:12:41.880 --> 02:12:43.920 I'm not going to say anything when there's a lull in conversation and pull my 1887 02:12:43.960 --> 02:12:48.399 phone out and we'll see if it's weird. All these planes, the fandom 1888 02:12:48.439 --> 02:12:52.560 office, that the big TV that's in the middle of the cafe area, 1889 02:12:52.720 --> 02:12:56.199 just have it set up to a bunch of flight data flight tracking. Oh 1890 02:12:56.239 --> 02:12:58.199 my god, it'll be so fun like looking at it, you know, 1891 02:12:58.520 --> 02:13:01.560 like look as bonding. Oh my god, they missed their connection from like 1892 02:13:01.600 --> 02:13:05.199 Phoenix, Arizona. They're never going to make it the flag staff now. 1893 02:13:05.399 --> 02:13:09.640 I like in chat don Chiittle said my mew mini plus, which is the 1894 02:13:09.640 --> 02:13:13.479 thing I got you Jan shut up yesterday with tons of research preloaded on it. 1895 02:13:13.600 --> 02:13:16.840 Okay, Colleen Rahm's research is maybe a new good thing that I'm gonna 1896 02:13:16.880 --> 02:13:20.119 start doing. I like that. I love this, I love this. 1897 02:13:20.239 --> 02:13:22.760 Maybe maybe I will answer that email about how to find research. Guys, 1898 02:13:22.800 --> 02:13:26.199 we can't. We can't tell you where to find the research, all right, 1899 02:13:26.039 --> 02:13:28.600 I don't want to get those sites shut down. I'm sorry, exactly 1900 02:13:28.760 --> 02:13:35.000 exactly. Next email comes from Corey. Shots out to Corey. Core has 1901 02:13:35.000 --> 02:13:37.920 been providing us a bunch of blind rankings last couple of weeks here on the 1902 02:13:37.960 --> 02:13:43.840 Giant BombCast NBCR. You' all know how blind rankings were, so don't look 1903 02:13:43.840 --> 02:13:46.560 at this email, folks. If you're on the BombCast, doc, everyone 1904 02:13:46.600 --> 02:13:52.000 knows how a blind ranking works. It's gonna be one through six, and 1905 02:13:52.000 --> 02:13:56.800 we're gonna rank it as we come across it, so no take backs. 1906 02:13:56.479 --> 02:14:01.800 This one comes in the form of snacks. Corey writes, Hey Bombers, 1907 02:14:01.840 --> 02:14:03.520 I figured I would step away from the games this week and do something different 1908 02:14:03.520 --> 02:14:07.560 for a blind ranking. This week, it's snacks. It's gonna be a 1909 02:14:07.600 --> 02:14:11.119 bit vague, but in general, anything that can fit into the categories should 1910 02:14:11.159 --> 02:14:15.159 be considered. Thanks as always, Corey, Film student at k U all 1911 02:14:15.239 --> 02:14:18.439 right, one through six? One being the best, six being the worst. 1912 02:14:18.319 --> 02:14:26.159 First choice nuts out of six? So where does it rank on six? 1913 02:14:26.039 --> 02:14:31.039 No? No, yeah, we have to like commit it without doing, 1914 02:14:31.600 --> 02:14:33.520 without knowing what the other five things are gonna be. I'm gonna put 1915 02:14:33.560 --> 02:14:39.239 I. I want to put nuts at five, nuts at six being the 1916 02:14:39.279 --> 02:14:46.600 worst? Yes? Oh no? Two dude, nuts? Are you kidding 1917 02:14:46.600 --> 02:14:50.479 me? I maybe we're all unaware of my love for nuts. Clip that 1918 02:14:50.640 --> 02:14:56.199 we know you love nuts, jes love nuts? All right? Can we 1919 02:14:56.199 --> 02:14:58.720 set it on a three? Then? I think three? I'll take three. 1920 02:14:58.199 --> 02:15:03.640 Three works for me. Three for nuts, Yes, I don't. 1921 02:15:03.680 --> 02:15:05.880 I don't know what else is gonna be on this list. I'll yell at 1922 02:15:05.880 --> 02:15:09.520 back lar. If it snacks, then we're probably in good shape. Okay, 1923 02:15:09.880 --> 02:15:13.399 I'm sorry. Where did we land three? Three? Can we can 1924 02:15:13.439 --> 02:15:16.159 we do three? Can we do three? Sure? Okay with that? 1925 02:15:18.399 --> 02:15:20.520 Okay, alright, because you see the list? Okay, three? All 1926 02:15:20.560 --> 02:15:24.920 right? Next one? Gummy candy parentheses? Nohc in these? Ah shit. 1927 02:15:26.680 --> 02:15:31.399 I'd say for me, it's it's like a four or five. This 1928 02:15:31.479 --> 02:15:35.760 could be my six. I'll gladly do six with you. Then? All 1929 02:15:35.800 --> 02:15:39.159 right? Have you guys lean that way? Wait? Do you hate gummy 1930 02:15:39.199 --> 02:15:43.079 candy? Yes? I don't hate it, but I never I never gravitate 1931 02:15:43.119 --> 02:15:46.880 towards it. If I do eat it, I enjoy it, but it's 1932 02:15:46.920 --> 02:15:50.199 not the thing that I seek exactly. That's the exact correct you guys, 1933 02:15:50.199 --> 02:15:54.399 don't think we're gonna get something worse than gummy candy. I mean, unless 1934 02:15:54.439 --> 02:15:56.800 like black licorice is on this fucking list. I think I'm gonna be fucks. 1935 02:15:58.039 --> 02:16:01.680 Let's go a six going, let's go say some time? What is 1936 02:16:01.720 --> 02:16:07.159 this compromise? You want to raise it? Yes?

A posed is the 1938 02:16:11.439 --> 02:16:18.880 delicious and delightful nature of gummy candy, the you got and your whimsy in 1939 02:16:18.920 --> 02:16:22.960 your sad little adult life. But fine, we'll put it out of five 1940 02:16:24.119 --> 02:16:28.880 I'm very happy for your community and your peat rings and watermelon slices, but 1941 02:16:28.920 --> 02:16:33.680 I cannot join you on this. Gummy candies goodummy candies are good. Gummy 1942 02:16:33.760 --> 02:16:37.959 candies are like them? Yes, okay, well she says she likes them 1943 02:16:37.040 --> 02:16:41.120 so, and that's the expert. Right. Anything that anything that I have 1944 02:16:41.200 --> 02:16:45.440 to scoop with a metal sort of handle, like a like a toddler, 1945 02:16:46.040 --> 02:16:48.719 that's getting in the back of the list. Wait are you talking about like 1946 02:16:48.840 --> 02:16:54.639 these loose candies at the grocery store. Well, like you know, you 1947 02:16:54.639 --> 02:16:58.799 don't like them. Treat yourself to some POJOs man from the depression. It's 1948 02:16:58.840 --> 02:17:05.559 like the most things a penny candy. It all tastes shot. You're not 1949 02:17:05.639 --> 02:17:09.360 listening to the candy depot, you know those know those like those places you 1950 02:17:09.399 --> 02:17:13.120 pay by the pound where you like, you know, like it's sugar place, 1951 02:17:13.920 --> 02:17:20.360 going to a gas station like a normal person. Yeah, I hate 1952 02:17:20.520 --> 02:17:24.479 skin. You're just mucus candy. All right, all right, all right? 1953 02:17:24.559 --> 02:17:28.719 Where are we putting gummy candies? One? Five? Put it at 1954 02:17:28.719 --> 02:17:33.600 a number that's any worse than a four. It's because you're not listening to 1955 02:17:33.680 --> 02:17:37.680 grubs. Adorable child, How dare you that's a good point. She doesn't 1956 02:17:37.719 --> 02:17:41.440 count. She definitely counts, but also like you know, hey, you 1957 02:17:41.479 --> 02:17:46.280 count, but also five, you'll lay out of it. It's a person. 1958 02:17:46.319 --> 02:17:50.040 Okay, are we going to put it four or five? Four? 1959 02:17:50.319 --> 02:17:56.840 Or I'm riting that's too far far. I guess we're getting bullied into four. 1960 02:17:58.079 --> 02:18:00.200 That's how Gay with the Year works. Also, all right, I 1961 02:18:00.200 --> 02:18:07.040 think we should just do Gay with the Year like this insane? All right, 1962 02:18:07.200 --> 02:18:09.959 all right, okay. Third option, playing the fire depends on the 1963 02:18:11.040 --> 02:18:16.920 kind of cooking. It's your favorite cookie. Where do we have nuts at 1964 02:18:16.959 --> 02:18:20.879 three? Nuts at three? So I'm okay with one or two? Yeah, 1965 02:18:20.879 --> 02:18:26.440 I'm okay with two. I think I'll go to just not ready to 1966 02:18:26.559 --> 02:18:28.959 keeping one open? Okay is fine with me. He's good work. Cookies. 1967 02:18:30.200 --> 02:18:33.760 Cookies are real good. Cookies are good turns out cookies. Next option 1968 02:18:35.600 --> 02:18:43.559 pretzelst So what do we have open? Five? Six? One? Obviously 1969 02:18:43.559 --> 02:18:48.600 not one. I think I'm okay with five or six. I'm fine five. 1970 02:18:48.719 --> 02:18:54.000 You guys three on nuts, that's your fault. No, I'm I'm 1971 02:18:54.040 --> 02:18:58.879 starting to regret that it's not higher. We're not talking about like rolls golds. 1972 02:18:58.920 --> 02:19:01.159 Only it could be like the off pretzel. All right, So then 1973 02:19:01.239 --> 02:19:09.040 five, I love your hands, bring me, bring me to like a 1974 02:19:09.079 --> 02:19:13.079 beer garden with a gigantic German pretzel with Yeah, I love that ship, 1975 02:19:13.079 --> 02:19:16.680 but it's not one. It's not one for me. Okay, you know, 1976 02:19:18.200 --> 02:19:20.200 okay, I love I love it. We gotta go with five? 1977 02:19:20.239 --> 02:19:24.000 Then, yeah, I think I think that's fair. Bang better be ass 1978 02:19:26.120 --> 02:19:28.120 all right, keep in minds our fate, keep in mind you only have 1979 02:19:28.239 --> 02:19:41.280 one and six? Right? Next up? Ice cream one? Really, 1980 02:19:43.079 --> 02:19:48.639 it's cold in my mouth every time I eat it. We are about to 1981 02:19:48.799 --> 02:19:54.799 elect like we're we're about to elect something heinous as one. Don't you see 1982 02:19:54.840 --> 02:20:00.719 the game that's happening. They're setting us up for a GA number one or 1983 02:20:00.760 --> 02:20:07.360 number ice cream is not a snack, it's She's right. I was so 1984 02:20:07.479 --> 02:20:09.600 that. Bailey makes a good point. It's not a it's it's it's not 1985 02:20:09.920 --> 02:20:13.680 it can be a snack. I don't think cares what it slots in, 1986 02:20:13.760 --> 02:20:18.959 as that's not the task we are given it. And it makes me sick 1987 02:20:20.000 --> 02:20:24.319 every time. And my experiences are universal. At six, I mean, 1988 02:20:24.399 --> 02:20:26.399 you're lactose intolerant, it sounds like, but I still think it should. 1989 02:20:28.000 --> 02:20:31.680 I still think it should be one. Ice scream you guys, I'm the 1990 02:20:31.840 --> 02:20:37.360 child who doesn't like gummy candy. What are we talking about? Ice cream? 1991 02:20:37.440 --> 02:20:41.600 Like? And it's it, it doesn't just don't hurt my teethe's I 1992 02:20:41.639 --> 02:20:46.479 was able to eat ice cream. Those were the days care of your mouth. 1993 02:20:46.639 --> 02:20:48.920 I don't know what to tell you. I think they're so sensitive because 1994 02:20:48.920 --> 02:20:50.079 I do take care of them. I don't know. And coffee flavorite, 1995 02:20:50.079 --> 02:20:56.079 it's it is, it's so good, listen. I think ice cream probably 1996 02:20:56.120 --> 02:20:58.879 should be number one because it's a safer bet than like a blind one six 1997 02:21:01.360 --> 02:21:09.520 blind one, and I think right, and it's gonna be like it's gonna 1998 02:21:09.559 --> 02:21:18.159 be like seaweed crackers. But they're not number one, all right, Honestly, 1999 02:21:18.159 --> 02:21:20.559 if there was sobby Ps, though, I'm back on board with them. 2000 02:21:20.639 --> 02:21:24.200 Okay, alright, sobby Pas number one for sure. I'm gonna I'm 2001 02:21:24.200 --> 02:21:28.280 gonna read Corey's PostScript. P s.

You're right, 2004 02:21:31.719 --> 02:21:35.200 Corey, I welcome any and all of these. This would be great. 2005 02:21:35.520 --> 02:21:39.280 Go for Corey that'd be great. All right, So since we only 2006 02:21:39.280 --> 02:21:43.280 have one left, I'm gonna read that last recap the snack cure list. 2007 02:21:43.920 --> 02:21:52.639 Number six is ice cream, inexplicably, number five, pretzels, number four, 2008 02:21:52.200 --> 02:22:00.600 gummy candy, number three nuts, number two cookies, and number one 2009 02:22:00.600 --> 02:22:03.719 snack. And this is hilarious because Corey maspelled it. I'm gonna say it 2010 02:22:03.719 --> 02:22:18.399 how they spelled it. Pickls, number one, picks, calories, salts, 2011 02:22:18.559 --> 02:22:22.959 they rehydrate you. Pickles. Hey, pickles are great, but they're 2012 02:22:22.000 --> 02:22:26.479 not a number one. Number one. To break it, I hate to 2013 02:22:26.520 --> 02:22:31.000 break it is number one. I can't believe this is how we get canceled. 2014 02:22:31.239 --> 02:22:33.079 This is a pickle website. Now, yeah, maybe what's what's better? 2015 02:22:33.079 --> 02:22:37.719 Pickles or ice cream? What do you like exactly? She says, 2016 02:22:37.840 --> 02:22:41.840 of course, because she sees value. I think I think like pickles. 2017 02:22:43.559 --> 02:22:46.559 You like bread and butter or half sour? Are we talking about a good 2018 02:22:46.639 --> 02:22:54.399 deal? Pickle coacher, dill coachher dill love it pickle, not pickle ice 2019 02:22:54.440 --> 02:23:00.959 cream? Yeah? All right, look, I feel Look, I'm glad 2020 02:23:01.000 --> 02:23:03.239 pickles are on the list, is all I'll have to say.

Me personally, it took eleven and 2077 02:26:52.559 --> 02:26:56.680 a half hours. I also learned that I work with a bunch of hibachi 2078 02:26:56.760 --> 02:27:01.479 enthusiasts that insists that we eat the onion volcano. We learned that Alex buon 2079 02:27:01.559 --> 02:27:05.840 Yellow might be a freak for knobs. We also learned about the possibility of 2080 02:27:05.879 --> 02:27:09.600 seeking out threesomes because of the sport of tennis. That's not the only thing 2081 02:27:09.639 --> 02:27:13.159 going back and forth.

We also didn't quite 2084 02:27:20.200 --> 02:27:24.479 learn how magnets work today, and some say we'll never learn because it's a 2085 02:27:24.520 --> 02:27:28.000 miracle of life.
