We got a whole mess 26 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.239 of stuff that happened over the weekend and some stuff this morning, including starting 27 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:48.239 with a Nintendo Direct getting announced. Mike Zeno Blake Chronicles three is getting Yeah 28 00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.719 did you not see this? Zo Zeno Blake Chronicles three. This is great, 29 00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:53.280 all right, just coming fresh. Zeno Blay Chronicles three is getting a 30 00:01:53.359 --> 00:02:00.640 twenty minute showcase on Wednesday at ten am Eastern time. Uh yeah, so 31 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:02.959 hey, Nintendo Direct got announced. It's not the big one later this month 32 00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:06.799 that we still think might maybe happen, but this is in line with what 33 00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.879 I've been hearing for a while now that they are planning on doing a series 34 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:15.240 of smaller things throughout this month and later this month, and it seems like 35 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:20.039 they're starting with this. I suppose do you think this means like the one 36 00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:24.639 later this month might be a Nintendo Direct mini or does this change your what 37 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:29.319 your expectations for that? Hello Penny, Yeah, there's Penny. She's upset. 38 00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:31.879 She's furious that she found out they're finally us a nintend Direct and it's 39 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:39.439 just for some weeb game exactly. I think that maybe this twenty ninth one, 40 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:43.400 and I think there is something happening at twenty ninth. I think it 41 00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.879 may also be a one game affair. We heard before at some point that 42 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:50.639 we might get a bunch of smaller direct things, right, Yes, and 43 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:55.000 I know everybody wants the big like E three style Nintendo showcase. Maybe that's 44 00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:00.719 not happening, you know. I know, I think I said on our 45 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:04.319 show job that I was confident something was gonna happen from Nintendo this month now, 46 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.280 and I still actually think there's more than just this. Yeah, one 47 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:14.080 of maybe maybe expectations that it might not be the thing where we announced Super 48 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.280 Mario Odyssey two, right. I mean, it's so hard to put these 49 00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:21.240 things down because Nintendo does have a variety, Like it's easy to start hearing 50 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.599 about a show and they be like, well, that's the direct. But 51 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.199 even when I've had that before, it was like a many direct. And 52 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.280 then there's also partner showcases they were doing for a while, and maybe something 53 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.680 like that could still happen. We said before, they have a lot of 54 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:37.479 games already announced for later this year. That's you know, still the case. 55 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.960 There are some things that we probably do still need to hear about for 56 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:46.360 sure, like you know, Winds Advance Wars coming for example, and Metroid 57 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.240 Prime Remaster, which we continue to think probably is coming pretty soon. At 58 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.840 least I do still think that's probably coming in November. They do need to 59 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.280 announce that. But they also zeno Blake Chronicles is coming very soon. It's 60 00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.680 Lake Chronicles three launches July twenty ninth, so that's next month. They have 61 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.960 to sell this game first before they even like it seems like before they start 62 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:06.400 talking about a lot of stuff that's coming afterwards. That seems to be their 63 00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:11.759 first concern. Yeah, absolutely, this is kind of next to bat as 64 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.400 they say, right, so you know, it does make sense. And 65 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.920 again, like there's gonna be more from Nintendo of this month aside from this, 66 00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:23.720 but how much more is the question? And look, there's it's a 67 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:28.439 long summer. It's not like there's there's some cops say Nintendo's but you gotta 68 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:30.680 do your Biggie three thing by the end of this month. It could just 69 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.720 be in July, right, And and we'll talk about like the treasure thing 70 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.800 here and and the and the catch up a little bit. But there's other 71 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:41.720 like things that could fit into a direct that are coming up. But that's 72 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.800 all like circumstantial evidence. It's hard to again, hard to pin this down 73 00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:47.199 and like what does that mean? Uh? And honestly, the treasure thing 74 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:53.360 could just happen anywhere, so so we'll see. Let's see. The next 75 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:58.839 story here is they took pac Man's wife. This I just used this as 76 00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.319 an excuse to talk about these two stories. Let's see here. Let me 77 00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:05.279 transition over here real quick. But first, Sonic and Sonic three and Knuckles. 78 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:09.079 I actually never remember how to say that name exactly. Is it Sonic 79 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:14.800 the Hedgehog three and knuckles? Uh gosh, what is the official word for? 80 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.759 Because it's not like it was ever one single commercial product before? Right? 81 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.480 Okay, Sonic three Knuckles or whatever it's called. Is what I have 82 00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:27.720 written here is gonna have to change its music because Sega didn't originally credit Michael 83 00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.560 Jackson, and instead of figuring that out, they're just gonna like rework that 84 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:32.800 music. They talked about this a little bit ago, but that uh, 85 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.040 that brought up this comic that I you know, we need to talk about 86 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:40.639 the internet. It's very upset about this where Sonic says a copyright mess with 87 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.040 your collection? Two hunh, that sucks. I had to give up a 88 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.879 few songs to get Sonic three released rerelease the lame right, what did you 89 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.560 lose? Pack? And then Pack says they took my wife. That's pretty 90 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:54.199 good. That's miss pac Man. That that whole mess with Miss pac Man 91 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.399 and that well, first of all it's not a very good collection, but 92 00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:58.720 then also just the mess with miss pack Man and then never been able to 93 00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:01.040 figure that out. It's yeah, four pack because some people like that collection. 94 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:03.800 I mean it is just a bunch of old Pacman games. I like 95 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.639 pac Man fine, but I could probably play a set. I could play 96 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:11.279 a satisfying enough game with pac Man in my browser. Right, Yes, 97 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.279 maybe it was the people I was seeing that we're playing on Switch that didn't 98 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.759 like it. But the people has some issues with it. So yeah, 99 00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:19.839 so I don't know. People, Yeah, people, some people seem really 100 00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:24.600 upset about this Sonic three thing. I mean, the Michael Jackson thing is 101 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:28.720 a mess. And it's also not my understanding and maybe I'm not one hundred 102 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.600 percent correct on this. It's not a lot of the songs because I think 103 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.879 there was already some kind of PC port where they changed some of the music 104 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:40.759 already, which kind of gave people their first idea of what songs it was 105 00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:45.240 the Michael Jackson worked on. So like there's like that that mid Boss song 106 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:48.959 where like they literally make the Michael Jackson noises right, So it's like, 107 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:53.680 okay, yes, that one was one and a couple other things. I 108 00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.279 don't know, is that a hot take if I said that Sonic three had 109 00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:59.959 the worst soundtrack out of those four games in the Sonic Origins collection, anyone, 110 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.720 it's not Probably not about it, no, because like the music that 111 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:08.120 you know gets sampled in hip hop or whatever from the Sonic series, it's 112 00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:13.519 never those tracks. It's Sonic one and two. Usually Sonics CD has two 113 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.079 good soundtracks. I was thinking about this last night for no particular reason, 114 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.399 and I was I was wondering, like, man, maybe Sonic CD is 115 00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:23.519 the answer when people say what game has the best music ever? Because it 116 00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:28.800 has an English soundtrack and a Japanese soundtrack and they're both just incredible. So 117 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:31.879 you get picked either one and it's great. You know, Sonic Son's fine. 118 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.480 The only song from that I really like a lot of Sky Sanctuary, 119 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.959 which is more of a Sonic and Knuckles thing anyways, and I think that 120 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.959 one is fine. So I don't know, like people are of course going 121 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.000 to get upset about it, and I understand, and look, maybe I'll 122 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.319 hear it, and like when the new song comes up, it's going to 123 00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.600 sound like me with my tin whistle and it's going to be terrible. I 124 00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:54.759 think it's I think you're whistle is beautiful, Mike, thank you. Yeah, 125 00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:59.319 that this doesn't bother me. Particularly again, it's a lot worse than 126 00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.759 we have to change it, Miss pack Man. We don't have Miss Yeah 127 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.680 Factman absolutely has it rougher. Yeah, And like Sonic, it's like those 128 00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:09.800 songs still are there. You just go listen, you go get the ROMs, 129 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.519 sure, and go experience it that way. And then now they're doing 130 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.800 something new and different. Maybe it'll be good. Probably not, but maybe 131 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.839 it'll be good. The worst, it'll be slightly worse for a little bit 132 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:26.160 of time, Yes, exactly. Let's see Skull and Bones release finally looks 133 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:31.079 likely. Following second rating board listing. This is by Andy Robinson at VGC. 134 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:33.840 Let's see, let's bring I just want to bring this up real quick 135 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.519 so you can take a look at this listing because it's important because the finally 136 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.440 they listed some consoles here. So previously this was rated in South Korea. 137 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:46.879 This time it's been rated in Brazil, and this rating now lists it for 138 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.879 PC, Google, Stadia, PlayStation five, and Xbox Series X and S. 139 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.679 The South Korean listing was just for PC. This one does list the 140 00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:01.600 consoles Mike, but not for Xbox one or place Station four. I suppose 141 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:03.519 Skull and Bones just too much for those systems. Is that what you're thinking? 142 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.919 Right? It's two next gen. We're lucky. We can either run 143 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:13.200 it on these things seven, yes, or places to nine. The one 144 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:16.679 that's going to be the ORB Yeah, the ORB system. Yeah. Uh 145 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.759 man, it's I don't know, it's weird imagining this game actually coming out. 146 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.759 It's weird or imagining it coming out and almost being like, wow, 147 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.639 this is really good and worth the way. Yeah, it's I mean god, 148 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.440 it really does feel like they're just shooting this one out to get it 149 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:33.320 out right, Like they're just like a cannon. Yeah, like a cannon 150 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.840 exactly. They're just loading whatever they can into the cannon and firing it and 151 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.840 hoping for the best. I don't know. This is one that you know 152 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:46.440 they it's made by Ubisoft Singapore. They took some money from the government there 153 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.600 in Singapore to make this game, and it was under the condition that something 154 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:54.360 actually shipped. And so something's shipping and again ship another pun their mic. 155 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:56.919 So if you want to comment on that one as well, ships and cannons, 156 00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:00.480 I was just gonna silently be proud of you. Thank you. Yes. 157 00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:05.480 So that one's so they're gonna ship something. My guess here is this 158 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:07.519 thing is gonna come out. People are gonna be like what, oh, 159 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:09.720 I mean, I guess it's okay, and then forget about it forever. 160 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:15.360 Immediately it's super bad because it sure was the easiest thing in the world to 161 00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:18.720 just be like Assassin's Creed four is good, right, Let's just make another 162 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:20.399 one of those, but non Assassin's Creed game, but just a pirate game 163 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.440 like that, And I don't know, they second guess themselves a million times 164 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.120 about well, we shouldn't be multiplayers, should even have on footstuffs, should 165 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:33.480 be who life service, and again we just we really probably it just needed 166 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:41.720 Assassin's Creed four two with like less crap about a backstory where ancient gods created 167 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:46.399 humans and there's a lot of orbs. Yes, it's I remember at the 168 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:48.480 time it got announced and we were all like, oh, well, this 169 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.080 is gonna be the thing that easily just kills See if they use this the 170 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.840 things, see if these wishes it was, and then like a month later, 171 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.759 see if we see if thieves broke out? And I think I said, 172 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:07.120 see if weaves see lazy They're always on my brain immediately, Oh jesus, 173 00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:11.639 uh that like a month later that game broke out again after like its 174 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:15.840 initial brake breakout, and then has only grown ever since. And it's like 175 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:20.279 this now this very specific like twitch thing and uh, this multiplayer fun playground 176 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:24.039 thing and knows exactly what it is and it's playing to that audience. And 177 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.639 then this game just fell apart, like at the same time, someone just 178 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.600 like someone somewhere just like made some curse happen, and these the fate of 179 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:37.919 these two games swapped immediately. Yeah, I think this is just gonna come 180 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:39.840 out and fizzle out and we're gonna forget about it. The sure have been 181 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:45.159 a lot of projects going bad at Ubisoft lately. There's that Beyond Good and 182 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.960 Evil two for like, you know, two decades now Prince of Persia, 183 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:54.919 which like got moved over and apparently is in trouble again, like maybe development 184 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.679 on that didn't just get restarted, like maybe a guy driven to the ground. 185 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.960 I don't know. Yeah, I have some like youb soft like rumors 186 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.519 that I'm trying to like track down and make sure that they're correct. So 187 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:09.559 if anyone has any insight on UBI Soft and wants to reach out to me, 188 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.120 like definitely DM me on Twitter. Well, I mean, you know, 189 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:15.840 I'll just show you this stuff. Okay, is that real? Yes? 190 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.440 Or no? Oh okay, I was watching the live feed now I'm 191 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:20.960 not really seeing anything. Just say yes and then we'll just pretend yes, 192 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:28.039 yes, Jeff, you did it. There's like again another Jeff grub class, 193 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:33.320 another w It's uh, it's a bunch of Assassin's Creed rumors that I 194 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:35.600 think they seem they sound real to me. But if I can track that 195 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.919 stuff down, maybe I'll bring into a show later this week. But it's 196 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:41.960 like, Okay, this is a lot of stuff makes sense based on how 197 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.120 quiet they've been, and they're going to reintroduce a lot of this stuff. 198 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:48.240 And they said they're gonna do Assassin's Creed announcements in September, so yeah, 199 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:52.159 like yeah, we're kind of waiting to see if, like the immediate future, 200 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.559 Assassin's Creed is something anyone cares about, because there's a lot of reasons 201 00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:58.440 to suppose that they won't because they're like, they're gonna do the Assassin's Creed 202 00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.559 Live Serve, this game that they the big one. But in between that 203 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.799 now right yes, and between that and like right then today, they are 204 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:11.720 apparently working on some big expansion that they're turning into like for Fahala, they're 205 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:13.879 turning that into a standalone game, and so it's like, okay that that 206 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:18.320 doesn't sound promising. So yeah, if only they had some video presentation they 207 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:22.840 made us all watch where they could have announced these things. Yes, Chad 208 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:24.600 says Assassin's Creed Cleveland. I think that sounds a good, great idea. 209 00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.039 You ought to deserve it. Yeah, it's yeah, that's right. That's 210 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:31.240 too good for you people finding up Towers City. Yeah. Man, the 211 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:35.720 two buildings in Cleveland. Yeah, exactly great, Come and see both of 212 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.639 our buildings. Sorry if that sung is in my head ever since I moved 213 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:45.480 here. All right, let's see. Dragon's Dog has hit its highest player 214 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:50.080 count in sixty years, following sequel news and discount and this one's by Jordan 215 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:52.879 Midler at VGC. According to Steam Database, as spotted by Benji Sales, 216 00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:58.600 Hello Benji, the game, which was first released released in twenty January twenty 217 00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:01.159 sixteen, hit a peak in current player count of six thousand, five hundred 218 00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:05.799 and eighty two on Sunday, a number which it has only ever surpassed during 219 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.440 the release month of the game. This number is similar similar to that of 220 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.879 recent releases such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Shredder's Revenge, which managed six thousand, 221 00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:16.039 five hundred and ninety nine concurrent players on Steam during the same twenty four 222 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.039 hour period. Really, I'm bringing this up because it's like, okay, 223 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.799 it does seem like there's a possibility for games like this that have built a 224 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:26.639 little bit of a cult following to build even more of one once the once 225 00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:31.919 gamers know that a series has a future. But also have you ever played 226 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:35.240 Draankets Dogma? And are if not, are you gonna go like go try 227 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.720 it now? Actually gonna buy it right now a live because I did hear 228 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.759 about this, And the other part of the reason is because it's on sale 229 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:46.759 for eighty four percent off for eighty right now, and it's like, yes, 230 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:50.120 yeah, I should play this game. I know people do like a 231 00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:54.639 lot. This is one of those weekends where people talked much more positively about 232 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:56.600 it years after it came out than when it first came out. It feels 233 00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:00.399 like, yeah, there was a few champions at the time. I think 234 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:05.240 I remember even at the time like Austin Walker and Justin McRoy like really liking 235 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.879 it and people saying it's like a Japanese sky Ram and I'm like, oh, 236 00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:11.120 that sounds really good. And then I think I tried it like a 237 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:13.360 little bit at the time, and then a little bit more when it came 238 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:16.879 to Switch and just couldn't immediately get into it, and it was like there's 239 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:18.639 a bunch of other stuff coming out. I think now it's the time with 240 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.519 the steam Deck. I'm gonna get into this. I'm a C three steam 241 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:26.679 Deck guy, so hopefully, hopefully Mike comes in, I'll buy it now 242 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:28.320 so when I get the steam Deck, I can I can play it. 243 00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:31.320 I have no idea how the Switch version runs. I don't know if it's 244 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:33.519 on sale. Yeah, it's fine. Yeah, I wonder if that is 245 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:35.720 on sale as well, but yeah, it's it's it's fine. It runs 246 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.159 fine. It's thirty frames per second. Fin it's not good enough for mikey 247 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:43.320 uh, let's see. It was Yeah, it was a twenty sixteen games. 248 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:46.080 So it's like, yeah, it should run fine on the Switch, 249 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.399 and it does. It was from what I played. Apparently Busy seven remake 250 00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:54.200 runs well on the Switch. I assume Dragons Dogma does all right. Unreal 251 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:56.679 Engine games should usually be able to scale down real well. So Final Fantasy 252 00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:00.840 seven remake coming to Switch and not remake? But what is that? That's 253 00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:06.039 Final Fantasy seven A Crisis Core is what we're talking about, not remake. 254 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:08.600 Crisus Core is coming to Switch, which I was thinking about about that and 255 00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:12.039 getting kind of mad that we might get Crisis Core on Switch before we get 256 00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:15.320 found Fantasy six on Switch. Yes, say there we are. They still 257 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:18.080 have announced those, but I suppose that's the kind of thing that maybe could 258 00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:23.360 happen at a later direct this year. Let's see two hot games have a 259 00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:27.480 secret Google connection. This by Stephen Taitillo at Xios. And if you haven't 260 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:32.279 caught up with Axios, everybody they're doing could work over there, Let's see 261 00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:36.320 Steven Wrights. Google was involved in the creation of two notable video games in 262 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:41.360 the spotlight this month before the downsizing of its Stadia Gaming operations sent those two 263 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:45.799 projects elsewhere. This is according to two sources familiar with their development that told 264 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.799 Axios the stuff see. The game's Google connections help fill out a picture of 265 00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:53.840 what Stadia could have offered if Google hadn't abandoned itshibitions in twenty twenty one to 266 00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:57.919 create a gaming platform to rival PlayStation and Xbox. Neither of the games, 267 00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:03.440 the well reviewed horror adventure The Quarry and comedic sci fi game High on Life, 268 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:07.759 has been officially associated with Stadium. The Quarry was developed by Supermassive, 269 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:11.319 published by Take two Interactive, and it was released on June tenth for PC 270 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:14.519 in that PlayStation Xbox. High in Life is from Squatch Games, led by 271 00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:18.839 Rick and Morty co creator Justin Roylan. Sources tell Axios that both games were 272 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:23.200 projects that previously were being made for Google specifically, and they were presented they 273 00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:27.119 were going to be presented as signature Stadia releases and it was meant to draw 274 00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:32.680 players to the service. But eventually those deals obviously went nowhere. The games 275 00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:34.480 were still in development. These games, they went out and the developers went 276 00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:37.079 out and found other partners, and in the Quarri's case, it was like, 277 00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:40.400 hey, take two, we need a publisher, and Take two stepped 278 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:45.680 in, Mike, do you do you think there's a future, a better, 279 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:49.519 a better alternate reality where Stadium was funding games like this and we were 280 00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:53.960 getting many more first party games from Google. That was a better world than 281 00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:57.480 what we have now. A better might be pushing it would be a different 282 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.960 that's for sure. Man. We can say that High on Life has so 283 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:06.319 much funded by Google energy not you say it. I don't even know what 284 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:10.400 I mean by that. I think I'm not down on that game like like 285 00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:11.920 you are. I kind of think it might be fun, but it definitely 286 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:17.799 has that like this may have been a stadium like let's let's give the guy 287 00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:22.359 who made more of a bunch of money, right, Sure, yeah, 288 00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:25.720 I think this is the kind of thing where it's like, Okay, this 289 00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:27.640 just tells a little bit more of the story of what was going on over 290 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:33.559 at Google, and like they were just barely getting maybe some third party deals 291 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.319 in place to present as Stadia, like Centric Games or whatever, and their 292 00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:41.680 first party endeavors are probably so much further off than even like these things. 293 00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:45.440 Sure, but but it's like yeah, so, I mean, they would 294 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:48.279 have we would have gotten to like this summer and and as World War Stadium 295 00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:52.440 was successful enough that they're like, all right, here's the summer stadium showcase. 296 00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:55.880 It would have like probably had the Quarry and High on Life and then 297 00:18:56.519 --> 00:18:59.200 you know, probably not much else, maybe a few promises for things to 298 00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:02.359 come down the line, and then that's it. But it is fun because 299 00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:06.599 it would have been like, here's like the big showstopper game for the Stadia 300 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:10.119 state of play, and it's High on Life wherever. Right, you know, 301 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:15.039 it's summer game messes like here's here's this right, and it's I mean, 302 00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.400 but you could see like the Corey being something that could take advantage of 303 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:21.640 the stadia being in the cloud and stuff like that, because like they're still 304 00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:25.920 working on the multiplayer patch for that game, so the people can share control 305 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:27.799 of the game like over the internet, but like with the cloud version, 306 00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:30.759 like you just have people sign in with their YouTube or whatever. Maybe you 307 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.599 could have your audience of vote along with you and build that stuff in. 308 00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:37.720 And I mean it makes it makes sense to have something like that. But 309 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.200 maybe High on Life can like use the cloud to add extra stutters into the 310 00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:45.680 voice acting right, Yes, exactly, olgs out. Yeah, you really 311 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:48.839 need the power of the cloud to be able to render that. Of course, 312 00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:52.079 yes, absolutely, U. Halo is a Halo Infinet's a video game. 313 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:55.240 I like, Mike, but it's a game we like it too, 314 00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:56.960 gets beat up quite a bit, But me and you are fans. Yeah, 315 00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:00.720 we have fun whenever we play it. But also I think, I 316 00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:03.200 mean, I understand, we both understand it's a game that does need some 317 00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:07.119 help in terms of content, and it sounds like something it sounds like they're 318 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:12.079 going to do a thing where they invite the fans to make contribute and significant 319 00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:15.759 way with forage now that they've always done that, but Forge sounds like it's 320 00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:18.880 gonna have even more features than it's had in the past. This leaked footage 321 00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:25.839 shows Halo infinites Forage is being used to reinvent guns, not the concept of 322 00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:29.680 guns, but guns in the game. This bite now. This is by 323 00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:33.119 Andy Robinson at VGC. Forage, which allows players to make custom game modes 324 00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:37.640 using a suite of tools and scripting options, is due to release at the 325 00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:41.000 end of this year as a free update after it was delayed from the launch 326 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:45.000 of the game. The latest footage published by Twitter user revs gaming showing the 327 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:49.960 flexibility Forage offers and in modding Infinite Weapons, is showing how they people can 328 00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:53.960 change the way guns operate. Using the tools, users can effectively transplant one 329 00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:59.119 weapons at effects to another, such as by making the cinder shot fire rockets 330 00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:03.319 or having the ravity hammer hit like an energy sword. Community creators are already 331 00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:07.880 supplementing games like Flight Simulator, and it seems like it could really help Halo 332 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:12.559 as well. So with Flight Simulator, the core team that works on that 333 00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:18.200 a SOBO, not a SOB right team of SOBO. They are working on 334 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.079 stuff like the United like improving the United States so that you go fly over 335 00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:25.519 Disney and it looks more like Disney, right, Yeah, but they are 336 00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:29.680 all see and yes, finally someone, finally someone's doing it, like they're 337 00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:33.880 improving the United States and but they're also bringing new planes into the game. 338 00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:37.240 But they're not doing both of those things. The core team is mostly working 339 00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:44.559 on the updates to the terrain and the geography and the geometry. They then 340 00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:48.920 work with community partners who are creating these planes for the game, and then 341 00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:51.640 they just paid them some money to like bring that content in the game, 342 00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:56.319 then sell it and stuff. It seems like maybe Halo could really benefit from 343 00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:00.480 something similar. If the team it could just focus on creating maps and creating 344 00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:03.480 new game modes and stuff like that. That seems like it has the potential 345 00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:08.119 to be very like they can focus their efforts and then fans could be doing 346 00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:11.839 stuff like coming up with wild game modes and wild new ways to use weapons 347 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:18.079 and stuff like that, and just kind of keeping whatever content three four three 348 00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:22.000 is putting in the game feeling fresh. I have a little bit of a 349 00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:23.759 video I'll bring in here. Let me see here. Hope I just closed 350 00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:30.200 it instead. That's an example like what the the thing looks like when people 351 00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:33.799 are messing around with this flow chart for the game. Let me see here, 352 00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:37.440 transition, here we go. So, but yeah, I think it 353 00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:41.519 looks pretty intense in terms of like the flow chart here where people can just 354 00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:45.799 make a weapon do one thing and then have it do another when you're pull 355 00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:49.559 the trigger and all this stuff. So it's gonna be basically reprogramming the game, 356 00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:52.079 and I think they show a little bit of like how it works and 357 00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:56.240 stuff like that. Is this the kind of thing that, like, as 358 00:22:56.319 --> 00:22:57.960 someone who's like pretty happy when you're playing Halo, but then when you think 359 00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:02.079 about the Halo content, it's just the kind of stuff that you feel could 360 00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:06.319 help. Yeah, it's funny because I myself, I don't know how much 361 00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:08.039 of this I'm gonna do. I played a lot of Overwatch and I was 362 00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:12.640 never in It's kind of weird custom game stuff that much. Right, even 363 00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:15.960 though some people loved it, it does look fun blowing up all these vehicles 364 00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:18.519 though, right, I'm almost just more exciting because like, oh, this 365 00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:22.000 might bring more people into the game, right, every maybe everyone will be 366 00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:26.880 happy. It's funny how much it matters, like the conversation around a game. 367 00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:30.480 Sometimes, Jeff, like like even Diablo Immortal, which I was actually 368 00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:34.720 kind of enjoying fine, but it's just like the consensus around it is negative 369 00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:38.640 and now like I kind of feel weird playing it, right, So I 370 00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:42.440 guess I just want more people to be into hail Infinite and I want the 371 00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:45.799 conversation and be like Heylofinite. You know, they had a problem with content 372 00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:49.400 for a bit, but they turned things around because Forge is just so great 373 00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:53.640 and we love going in there and hitting people with banana weapons. Right, 374 00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:57.559 that perception like becomes a reality, and even right like the bummer effect can 375 00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:00.200 like rub off on you when you're like, oh, hey, should we 376 00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.640 all get everyone together? And it's like, well, now everyone always complaints 377 00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:06.279 about that. I'm I'm not even gonna try to get everyone together to play 378 00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:10.079 Halo tonight. And so yeah, I think if people can have positive feelings, 379 00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:11.799 it can definitely help someone like I already enjoy the game. So it's 380 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.359 like now it's just nice, Okay, everyone seems to be enjoying it again, 381 00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:18.359 Let's go get a game night going together. So yeah, I think 382 00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.799 I think this tool, though, looks like it is extremely advanced, and 383 00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.720 it does look like, yes, it looks very good for that it's going 384 00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:30.400 to justify not the weight, but like, once people get their hands on, 385 00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:33.160 they'll be like, Okay, at least we are getting something that feels 386 00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:37.440 substantial in its possibilities, and so it's not gonna be like Okay, it's 387 00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:40.400 gonna come out and be sort of like, oh, this is nothing. 388 00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:42.319 Why do we have to wait so long for Forge? At least there will 389 00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:47.200 be some new attributes to it that really unlocked creativity in that community, of 390 00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:49.960 which it's a pretty it's a well established community, the Forged community, and 391 00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:53.119 a lot of creators there have done a lot of work already. They'll probably 392 00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:56.079 be able to like just bring those ideas into this new game and really hit 393 00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:03.599 the ground running. Oh let's see. Okay. Diablo Immortals Chinese release has 394 00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:07.799 been delayed, Mike. This is according to Yes. This is according to 395 00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:11.920 Ruters, and it's most likely due to the official Diablo Weibo weibo account. 396 00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:15.680 I believe that's it, which is like a Chinese Twitter criticizing Jijin Ping, 397 00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:19.480 who's the president of China. And this comes from Rosetta. I'm let me 398 00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:23.079 read this first line from my wrist. Why would the official Diablo Immortal account 399 00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:26.920 do that? I mean, not that he doesn't deserve criticism, but you 400 00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.680 would think that they wouldn't write that. Yeah, it's kind of like listen, 401 00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:33.200 I think a lot of people deserve criticism, Mike. I am not 402 00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:37.880 exactly going to go lug into the giant bomb Twitter account and start criticizing people 403 00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:42.160 using that, but okay, this is writers though. If it's for Dan, 404 00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:47.200 right, yeah, absolutely definitely that goes without saying like you know, 405 00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:51.000 you know, fruit once that goes for you too. Though, Internet and 406 00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:55.240 gaming giant net Ease delayed the row out of its video game Diablo Immortal in 407 00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:59.039 China three days ahead of its official launch, a move that comes just after 408 00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:03.880 the game's official accoun on Wabo, was banned for making new posts. Let's 409 00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:08.279 see the social media post which treads, why isn't Winnie the Bear going out 410 00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:15.039 of office yet? And of course Winnie the Pooh is the sort of negative 411 00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:18.559 nickname for Jijimping and he really hates it, and people have been criticized in 412 00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:26.079 mass reported by people in China for calling Ji Jimping Winnie the poo before China. 413 00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:30.000 The China based Netties, which was set to release the game on Thursday, 414 00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:33.039 did not provide a new launch date, but set on Sunday. It 415 00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:37.240 wanted to make changes such as improvements to the gameplay experience and conduct multiple optimization 416 00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:42.680 adjustments. There are This is according to a poster on Ready or I'm sorry 417 00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:47.160 on Rissett, who posted this year. There are multiple rumors going around about 418 00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:51.559 this. Some people suspect that the Chinese Diablo community mass reported the game to 419 00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:55.680 the CCP government for its unfair gambling practices, but I haven't been able to 420 00:26:55.799 --> 00:26:59.400 find reliable sources on that. I'm sure we'll know more about this in due 421 00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:03.559 time. China is going to be a big audience for a mobile Diablo. 422 00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:07.279 Mike, this seems like a problem. Yeah, it's almost it's almost more 423 00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:11.720 for them than it ever was for us, and it is. Yeah, 424 00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:15.759 it's almost hard to believe that we would get the version of the game that 425 00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:19.559 had the absolutely ridiculous modezation and that they would tone it down for China. 426 00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:22.440 I know, you know if you always said this before, where their opinion 427 00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:27.440 of paid to win isn't like ours, where it's some toxic idea. Yeah, 428 00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:30.759 yeah, maybe even what Diablom Mortal is a bit much for them. 429 00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:37.160 Maybe you know they're they're seeing all reports gom America people spending thirty thousand dollars 430 00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:41.279 or world have you and not getting those level five gems or whatever, and 431 00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:45.480 they're like, no, not not here, not in China. So yeah, 432 00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:48.279 I do wonder like, is that change actually going to happen? Is 433 00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:52.680 that what they're doing? Because if if they're talking about if that language is 434 00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:56.400 truely or making gameplay changes in balance things like what else could it possibly be. 435 00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:00.400 It's not like they're tuning DPS numbers before they have to release it there, 436 00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:04.519 right, you know, it's probably like the perfect storm scenario where these 437 00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:07.559 two things are happening at once. They can't talk about the game on way 438 00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:11.799 but a massive tool for marketing the game and uh, and they're dealing with, 439 00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.480 you know, being banned there and then on top of that, they 440 00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:18.400 have all these complaints so for being mass reported for gambling allegedly. We don't 441 00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:23.759 know if that's exactly what happened, but it seems possible, and so uh, 442 00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:26.279 you know, when we're trying to like sus this out, they're like, 443 00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:30.079 Okay, let's just pull the pull the plug on trying to launch this 444 00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:32.799 right now. Let it cool off and we'll try again in a little bit. 445 00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:36.720 You know, I think this is the kind of thing where like, 446 00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:40.240 if this happened in anywhere in any other region, this would be like, 447 00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:42.720 oh man, that sounds like a massive like campaign to pull the plug on 448 00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:45.480 where you're trying to launch this this really big game that's going to cost a 449 00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:48.279 lot of money. But it's not. It's not like there's a lot of 450 00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:52.720 other games launching all the time in China. So many games need to get 451 00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:56.720 approval that there's like fewer games launching in the mainstream there. And so I 452 00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:59.279 wonder if it's a little bit easier if you are one of these companies that 453 00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:03.079 does have a a massive present presents like Nettie used to be like, listen, 454 00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:04.559 let's just we can we can wait for this to cool off, relaunch 455 00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:07.160 it a little bit later, and we'll be fine. So I wonder if 456 00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:10.640 they're like, oh, this is just a strategic maneuver to deal with these 457 00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:15.400 negative problems that they need to get past, all right, Mike. That 458 00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:18.200 brings us to the ketchup, where we catch up on the week, the 459 00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:22.079 weeks of discussions from gamers around the world, try to see what everyone's talking 460 00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:25.039 about. We also talk a little bit about like, oh, what you 461 00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:29.359 can expect from gaming the next few weeks. The big thing here that I 462 00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:33.640 put initially is that a lot of evidence is piling up that something is going 463 00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:37.319 to happen. With Sony News Tom Henderson, who's a frequent leaker, he 464 00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:41.200 has spotted a bunch of circumstantial evidence that he thinks might mean a state of 465 00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:48.319 play is coming soon. These things include one of the Grand Tourismo producers says 466 00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:49.799 that an update on the game is coming next week, and not just like 467 00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:53.000 an update in the game, but an update about the game, providing new 468 00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:56.960 information about him. Jason Schryer over at Bloomberg meanwhile said that God of War 469 00:29:57.079 --> 00:30:02.839 Ragnarok's release date should be coming later this month. That that sounds like right, 470 00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:07.200 especially after we've heard that game has been rated in South Korea and they 471 00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:11.200 and Corey ball Rog has posted himself like playing the game on Twitter, so 472 00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:15.119 that thing is getting close. And then Sony is going to reveal it's PlayStation 473 00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:21.000 five pro controller allegedly next week as well. So some things are lining up. 474 00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:22.319 I think that there's still a good chance of many of these things could 475 00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:26.599 be YouTube videos, twitter post, blog post, or something like that, 476 00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:30.079 especially after we just had a State of Play, but maybe what do you 477 00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:34.960 think, Yeah, it could at some point they do do something with God 478 00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:37.559 of War. I guess this is the one, right, I guess said, 479 00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:41.680 like the pro controller, a great Turismo update, those could be Twitter 480 00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:45.279 posts, but God of War. There doesn't have to be something with that. 481 00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:48.839 I mean we had they did their third party showcase thing and that and 482 00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:53.279 that was you know good, and uh, it gives probably to a bunch 483 00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:57.039 of things, but there are still questions about what First Party is up to, 484 00:30:57.440 --> 00:31:02.799 specifically with that release date for Out of War and what exactly is coming 485 00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:07.119 after that and when? Right, and I think, you know, they 486 00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:11.279 could really lay out a compelling thing where it's like Godivar Ragnarok is getting a 487 00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:15.160 date, here is a new expensive cool controller that you can buy, and 488 00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:18.960 you know, here's like one or two other updates on other games that are 489 00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:23.960 at least early next year or maybe also coming this holiday. Quick state of 490 00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:27.480 play right exactly, Yes, they could really just hit that stuff very quickly. 491 00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:30.920 And they know that godivor Ragnarok can be this lightning rod that can attract 492 00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:34.400 all these eyeballs, and so why not use that to your advantage. I 493 00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:37.200 mean, you already had a very successful state of play for third party earlier 494 00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:41.880 this month. You could close out the month with something for first party stuff. 495 00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:42.759 It makes all the sense in the world. Do we still need to 496 00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:48.079 release it for the uncharted stuff on PC? Also, I feel like they 497 00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:53.000 did get a release date uncharted stuff on PC, so good. But no, 498 00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:56.880 that's one they announced forever ago and it's okay, can you go to 499 00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:00.880 Steam and check and see if it's on there right now? Apparently it's coming 500 00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:06.640 today? Uh maybe maybe on Epic Is it on Epic? Actually, let's 501 00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:08.440 see, let's see what Steam say. Steams says we've just released Day twenty 502 00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:13.119 twenty two. Okay, maybe maybe check the Epic Games store, because I 503 00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:15.319 mean that's what being says, and has Being ever been wrong? Come on? 504 00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:22.759 Yeah, Epic Games also just says coming soon. So yeah, I 505 00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:28.599 hate to ruin your whole worldview, but I think Being was wrong. Wow, 506 00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:30.920 this is a garbage episode. I'll never use it again. All right, 507 00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:34.200 Well, yes, so maybe we get an update on that, like 508 00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:37.599 there's and that's the kind of thing where they've shown they're willing to talk about 509 00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:39.599 PC release dates in the state of place where I think at one point they 510 00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:44.400 were a little bit hesitant about it, and then they looked at the checks 511 00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:46.440 they were getting from Steam and they're like, Okay, never mind, let's 512 00:32:46.440 --> 00:32:50.240 just look. People can get mad at us on Twitter. They could pretend 513 00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:53.519 like they care, but really, this is going to impact their purchasing decisions, 514 00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:57.319 right But yeah, well we know they're gonna keep showing up for our 515 00:32:57.319 --> 00:33:00.400 games. So yeah, I mean, like those just those couple those things 516 00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:04.640 right there, a little bit like resetting Grand Trismo, Like there's a few 517 00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:07.400 things they could do, so I think, I mean, I'm not against 518 00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:09.680 the idea of them doing two state of place really close to each other, 519 00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:14.680 especially if they have like a different focused third party first party that works really 520 00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:19.519 well. And then they could still end up doing in like September, one 521 00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:22.200 of their traditional the least over the last couple of years, one of their 522 00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:25.680 traditional PlayStation showcases where they talk about things that are coming far down the line, 523 00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:29.400 and that could stand apart as well, because by then, we'll like, 524 00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:31.960 you know, God Force should be nearly upon us, like that's coming 525 00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:36.400 in November. That'll be like the marketing campaign will have long started by then, 526 00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:39.079 so they could start talking about stuff that's coming up in twenty twenty three 527 00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:44.400 and beyond. And I think that would be a good cadence of events throughout 528 00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:47.559 this summer to keep people feeling very good about PlayStation five. Even if the 529 00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:51.400 people that show up just for first party PlayStation games are like, well, 530 00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:52.599 we're just getting out of will Ragmrock, Well, that's a big deal to 531 00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:55.640 them, and then all these other promises come soon after that. That could 532 00:33:55.680 --> 00:34:01.759 work. Let's see Treasure, Treasured is teasing the return of a big game, 533 00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:07.599 this one here, Let's just do the Google translate. Let me transplate 534 00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:09.840 probably making a stile to that McDonald's game. Yes, is that game? 535 00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:14.519 Is the McDonald's game? Almost certainly, Let's see from Twitter on June nine, 536 00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:16.440 and again this is Google translates, so we'll do our best. On 537 00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:22.039 June nineteen, twenty twenty two, Treasure Company Limited celebrate It celebrated its thirtieth 538 00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:25.480 anniversary. This year, the thirtieth anniversary. We are working hard to announce 539 00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:31.000 the highly requested that title that is in quotation marks. We look forward to 540 00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:36.360 your continued support of Treasure. Now. Has Treasure released anything in the last 541 00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:37.519 few years. I was saying, the pressure they have been released anything since 542 00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:45.280 like twenty last release was Guys Crush Your God from twenty fourteen. What the 543 00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:49.480 I mean, that's the thing. It's Look, this isn't the treasure that 544 00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:53.119 was making Gunstar Heroes and Dynamite Heady and stuff like that, right, so 545 00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:59.320 right, Uh, it's hard to get very excited. And again they say 546 00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:04.119 that game, Oh obviously, I mean what would that be? I guess 547 00:35:04.199 --> 00:35:07.840 I go to Gunstar Heroes first, are they're gonna make another one of those 548 00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:12.719 sequels? He wasn't gonna be Mischief Makers too? Like? What else are 549 00:35:12.719 --> 00:35:16.079 could we be talking about here? Yeah? I mean I think Gunstar Heroes 550 00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:20.440 is like the one that they really broke on the scene with obviously, But 551 00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:22.880 I don't know. To me, it feels like, especially if this is 552 00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:25.440 something that does show up at the Nintendo Direct, part of me thinks it's 553 00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:30.199 like a new Sin and Punishment or not even maybe just like a package together 554 00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:35.639 HD version of Sin and Punishment rol World two. Yes, that'd be fantastic 555 00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:39.679 too too. Karuga, there's like a handful of games. I mean you 556 00:35:39.719 --> 00:35:45.519 said it a Gunstar Heroes, Ikaruga, Mischief Makers maybe not, but like 557 00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:49.559 Radiant Silver Gun, there's like a handful of games that could be that, 558 00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:53.239 right for for Treasure, one of the like the highly requested that title, 559 00:35:55.000 --> 00:36:00.519 So it's probably gonna be one of those three. Uh if I maybe sin 560 00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:02.920 in Punishment, so maybe those four. If I had to pick one, 561 00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:07.719 I probably would stay Gunstar Heroes, though I think that I would boil it 562 00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:12.400 down to Gunstar Heroes myself, Like that's Gunstar Heroes makes a lot of sense 563 00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:15.599 in the current environment where like Teenage mutan Inja Turtles is coming out and doing 564 00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:22.440 very well, and we've gotten other sort of sixteen bit action games like they 565 00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:25.599 are finding their footing again, and you could easily just put out those games 566 00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:30.719 with some updates and they would probably do very well. So I mean, 567 00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:32.960 there's our Heroes. One is already so it's perfect. Actually, yes, 568 00:36:34.039 --> 00:36:37.280 it's a perfect And I know they made they made a game of v in 569 00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:40.519 sequels actually good and not but no, good luck, yes exactly. Good 570 00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:44.480 good luck with like trying I mean this treasure not being the same treasure. 571 00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:47.519 Yeah, good luck with trying to recapture that magic. Uh mike uh. 572 00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:52.119 The Final Fantasy Twitter account noted that it's the twenty fifth anniversary of Final Fantasy 573 00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:58.239 tactics and what do you think they did with that information? Nothing? Well, 574 00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:00.719 they asked who is your favorite character? And then so yes, basically 575 00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:07.840 not that Pasthma, Yeah, Rassma. Everything I know about Fophasy Tactics is 576 00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:13.280 mostly from the Raids series that they did in Final Fantasy fourteen. I keep 577 00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:15.440 waiting for this supposed remake to come out so I can finally play through it. 578 00:37:16.679 --> 00:37:20.159 But yeah, yeah, that's what I mean. That Look, that 579 00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:22.920 was in the Nvidia League, right, and pretty much everything else says from 580 00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:27.360 that has been real, so it's coming at some point. Probably. There's 581 00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:31.679 still that in that Foul Basy nine remake too, so there's more fat Fantasy 582 00:37:31.760 --> 00:37:35.119 on the way. Yeah, I mean, it's just like, if this 583 00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:37.679 was coming, why not today, Like I guess because they just did a 584 00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:43.639 Final Fantasy seven, uh anniversary event maybe, but I guess which one gets 585 00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:47.800 precedents Fampasy seven or FOD announce a lot of famp Fantasy stuff already, so 586 00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:51.159 that's fair. I could kind of be it there. And again, there's 587 00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:53.760 no law that says he had to do the stuff on the anniversary days, 588 00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:55.800 right, and they could, I mean, and there's probably a lot of 589 00:37:57.039 --> 00:38:00.880 partners that would be happy to showcase a Final Fantasy Tactics rema at one of 590 00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:02.360 their showcases. So again, this is maybe something that shows up in a 591 00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:07.679 Nintendo director or somewhere else. I mean, I love Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, 592 00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:10.599 and that's where that franchise I went on to Live was on Game Boy 593 00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:15.239 Advanced for a few years a few years after that, so maybe that makes 594 00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:16.679 more sense for them. It's like today, let's bring that back and on 595 00:38:16.719 --> 00:38:21.840 a handhold because that works really well for this series. So we'll see. 596 00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:27.960 I have some questions that I asked the audience, and I put it. 597 00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:30.360 I put it on Twitter. So let me let me right there. I 598 00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:34.639 just got it already up. Do you download and play any of the E 599 00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:38.679 three game demos? And I guess I'm not too surprised by the results here, 600 00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:42.519 but let's see. We had three thousand votes, and I think this 601 00:38:42.719 --> 00:38:44.599 might be how I do it from now. I just put on Twitter. 602 00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:49.519 But we'll see. Sixty seven point eight percent of people responded with no, 603 00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:52.320 and thirty two point two percent said yes. They do play some of these 604 00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:57.360 E three game demos, like the Summer Game Fest or the Xbox Showcase thing 605 00:38:58.079 --> 00:39:01.119 game demo things that are coming up this week. I think, Mike, 606 00:39:01.199 --> 00:39:05.559 does this, Do these results surprise you that more like around two thirds of 607 00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:08.239 people do not play any of these demos. No, that seems just about 608 00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:13.079 right, doesn't it, because you imagine most people just not taking the effort. 609 00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:15.800 I mean I didn't. Yeah, I mean like even like you, 610 00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:19.360 like you could like write content about this stuff, and yet you're still busy 611 00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:22.519 with other other things, right said. I always also at play days, 612 00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:23.559 so I got to play well, okay, right there, but I didn't 613 00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:28.320 download any demos okay, and there are gids I would have wanted because I 614 00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:30.960 didn't get to play hell Singer or whatever at the play days. I'm like, 615 00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:34.280 I should play that people, that looks fun, and I still just 616 00:39:34.320 --> 00:39:37.039 didn't do it. I think the thing is for me. It's like, 617 00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:40.400 yeah, I guess I could do a demo, but I think I'm already 618 00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:44.800 interested in this thing. And then the ones I'm not interested in, I'm 619 00:39:44.800 --> 00:39:46.679 not interested in them, and I'm not necessarily like looking to give them this 620 00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:52.000 opportunity to win me over by spending the time to download them and then having 621 00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:53.800 to remember to remove them from my hard drive later. And this stuff, 622 00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:55.760 and I already have a bunch of other games I could be playing. I 623 00:39:55.800 --> 00:39:59.079 got Teenage Mutant inter Turtles, I could be playing right now, So why 624 00:39:59.079 --> 00:40:01.280 wouldn't I just play that? I guess, Like, what what do you 625 00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:05.840 think about the first thirty minutes you have a video game, Jeff? Are 626 00:40:05.880 --> 00:40:08.159 you excited it's like learned through video game and be introduced to its world and 627 00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:12.280 lore? Or do you find that part of a video game the most tedious? 628 00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:15.639 Because sometimes I find that part kind of ted he is, absolutely, 629 00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:19.320 I mean I very well many in many cases I do find it tedious. 630 00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:22.679 Yeah, not always, but that's sure when when I'm like looking at a 631 00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:25.119 potential new game that I'm not sure about, that is what I'm imagining first, 632 00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:28.880 It's like, Okay, I'm gonna be doing this part where I'm learning 633 00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:32.079 everything and not exactly feeling competent, and that's not fun. So this wouldn't 634 00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:37.079 even be a great impression anyhow. So Yeah, I like this poll about 635 00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:42.159 the best Pomp basy Tactics character and one of the apparently it's Ramsa, and 636 00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:46.679 I said Rasthma. So there's Ramsa and in quotations res I'm kind of pooling 637 00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:52.000 for thank you minds. I appreciate that. Uh you know what. In 638 00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:55.079 the responses, a lot of people were saying, I already have a ton 639 00:40:55.119 --> 00:41:00.320 of games, I'm just gonna play those, and then you know some and 640 00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:04.199 then a big chunk of respondence that I think said, no, we're like 641 00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:07.079 what E three game demos, Like they don't even know about these things like 642 00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:10.760 the Steam Next Fest. Maybe these are people that don't play on Steam. 643 00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:14.519 Maybe they only play on PlayStations, which I don't. I don't think has 644 00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:17.320 done anything like this, at least not this year. Xbox has something coming 645 00:41:17.400 --> 00:41:20.800 up, but a lot of people are just like, I don't know what 646 00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:23.320 you're talking about. I don't even see these things. So and I think 647 00:41:23.320 --> 00:41:27.760 from that perspective, getting thirty three percent, like a third of people's actually 648 00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:30.840 pretty impressive. Like many couple are sticking these out. Yeah, yeah, 649 00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:34.599 it's but also like if I were like trying to sell a video game these 650 00:41:34.679 --> 00:41:36.840 days, this would stress me out, Like, oh man, look all 651 00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:38.480 these people like just don't even care about demos, and we're gonna spend time 652 00:41:38.519 --> 00:41:43.119 on this. Remember what demos are such a big deal still, I mean 653 00:41:43.159 --> 00:41:46.679 the demo disc And then as Buster sixty we are still downloading a lot of 654 00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:51.559 demos. I think BioShock owed a lot of bit success to having that really 655 00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:53.679 well received demo, and it was one of the last times you could really 656 00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:58.039 say something like that, like, well, the demo for this game probably 657 00:41:58.119 --> 00:42:00.559 sold an extra million copies, right, And I think it's the kind of 658 00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:02.519 thing where it's like easy to be like what could stay, like, what 659 00:42:02.559 --> 00:42:06.280 could fix the demo? What would make more people want to play the demo? 660 00:42:06.519 --> 00:42:07.559 And then we come up like, well, you do it from the 661 00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:10.239 cloud and it just shows up on your council and it's presented like one of 662 00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:15.320 those old DVDs that you got in PlayStation magazine or whatever. And I think 663 00:42:15.320 --> 00:42:16.880 I would like all that stuff, and I probably still would be like, 664 00:42:16.960 --> 00:42:20.519 oh, that's cool, that's that it's there, and still not even just 665 00:42:20.559 --> 00:42:23.000 cut the button to load it up instantly from the cloud, Like I probably 666 00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:27.679 even if it worked flawlessly, I probably still would not engage with that very 667 00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:30.840 often maybe here and there. So so yeah, I think the demo is 668 00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:34.800 fine. I'm glad that they're doing these things. I did play a few 669 00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:36.679 this year, and mostly just because I'm like, oh, what could I 670 00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:38.719 play on Giant bomb and stuff like that. But even still it was cool, 671 00:42:38.760 --> 00:42:45.400 but I get why many people do not. Let's see, we've got 672 00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:46.960 to come up with a question for tomorrow, and I'm not exactly sure what 673 00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:49.880 I was gonna. I was gonna come up with something and then I just 674 00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:52.400 forgot. But I also was like, looking at some of these new stories, 675 00:42:52.679 --> 00:42:55.119 what do you think if they think there's going to be a big Nintendo 676 00:42:55.239 --> 00:42:58.760 directs this month? Or yeah, let's see, yeah, let's say a 677 00:42:58.840 --> 00:43:04.440 big Nintendo direct, so right, and whatever that means to you, whatever 678 00:43:04.480 --> 00:43:07.039 that means to you exactly. So I mean, I'm still like on the 679 00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:13.639 fence about like big, but I think there's still a chance. Obviously, 680 00:43:14.440 --> 00:43:16.199 nothing they've done so far means that they wouldn't do one. Even having like 681 00:43:16.239 --> 00:43:20.880 a Zino Blade Chronicles story have its own showcase would not mean that they wouldn't 682 00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:23.000 do something separate for all the other stuff coming this year. It's just that 683 00:43:23.039 --> 00:43:25.559 game is the next big one that they're really trying to sell right now, 684 00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:30.480 So it still makes sense. But yeah, I remember Zeno Bade Chronicles too. 685 00:43:30.599 --> 00:43:35.280 I forget it had its own director or something that's remembered. There was 686 00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:38.519 like that dragon that sounds like a perverted grandpa who talked for a while. 687 00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:43.519 And I don't like his voice. I mean, I think perverted grandpa's had 688 00:43:43.559 --> 00:43:45.599 wonderful voices. Mike, I don't know what's wrong with you. No, 689 00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:47.320 first he's like big, and then it gets small and it makes this weird 690 00:43:47.400 --> 00:43:52.719 perverted voice even creepier to me, and I don't like him. All right, 691 00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:54.000 Well, let's go back and look at at said sonic here for a 692 00:43:54.039 --> 00:43:58.400 second. Everybody, thank you so much for joining us today. I really 693 00:43:58.400 --> 00:44:00.320 appreciate it. Mike, what do you tell people where they can find you? 694 00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:02.639 What can they find your stuff? How can they get more? Mike 695 00:44:02.760 --> 00:44:07.159 Manati, get more Mike Nandy on games Beats, which is where I work 696 00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:12.599 and write and just have the best test of times. You could follow me 697 00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:17.360 on Twitter at Twitch at tolkoto t o o k o t oh Jeff and 698 00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:22.079 I do our shows on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Now Tuesday's is Lass Than Ten 699 00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:28.679 Dogs, Thursday is Gay Mess Decides, and I do Nineties Disney My Nineties 700 00:44:28.719 --> 00:44:32.239 Disney podcast at nine zeros Disney dot com. Our interview with Tam Murphy, 701 00:44:32.320 --> 00:44:37.519 the writer of a Bunch of Nineties Disney Movies is up now. We just 702 00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:39.840 talked to him about his work on Tarzan. I think we've talked about little 703 00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:43.679 Brother Bear stuff too. It wasn't quite nineties, but we figured, what 704 00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:47.199 the heck, what's because people need more Brother Bear content. Jeff, I've 705 00:44:47.239 --> 00:44:52.239 never seen Brother Bear, but after listening to the interview Mike, I thought 706 00:44:52.280 --> 00:44:55.159 about I thought about watching it. It's it's probably just on Disney Plus, 707 00:44:55.239 --> 00:44:58.280 right, So yeah, you think do you think my kids would like it? 708 00:44:59.679 --> 00:45:01.679 Yeah? Your kids probably like anything, right, Yeah, they like 709 00:45:01.679 --> 00:45:07.519 all kinds of trashy sound. Brother is good. Okay, it's not amazing, 710 00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:09.760 it's good, yes, fair enough, Giant bomb. This week, 711 00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:13.079 we got a whole bunch of stuff happening everybody. I think, uh, 712 00:45:13.920 --> 00:45:17.159 I think later this week we'll be doing six player teenage Muntan Ninja Turtles play 713 00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:23.159 through. Looking forward to that. Hope you're gonna be I think I'm I'm 714 00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:25.800 probably gonna be Michaelangelo. But I don't know how it works, because I 715 00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:29.719 think we were thinking about going into it blind and I played the first couple 716 00:45:29.800 --> 00:45:32.159 levels on switch, but I'm gonna switch over to my PC save if we 717 00:45:32.239 --> 00:45:37.440 have six players and we haven't unlocked, like the extra character. I think 718 00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:40.000 there's at least one Casey Jones. I guess there's six characters because they're Splinter. 719 00:45:40.119 --> 00:45:43.760 They're Splinter in April, right, Yeah, they're already six. There's 720 00:45:45.719 --> 00:45:49.159 yeah. Okay, I'm probably gonna be Michael Langelo, but maybe I'll play 721 00:45:49.199 --> 00:45:51.719 through today and unlock Casey so I could just have Casey ready to go. 722 00:45:52.320 --> 00:45:54.559 Okay, I like Casey Jones a lot. I Also, this is the 723 00:45:54.599 --> 00:45:58.440 problem with doing the Monday show. We're gonna do the meeting here and a 724 00:45:58.519 --> 00:46:00.400 little bit, but I think I'm gonna try to get us to play some 725 00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:05.000 fall guys a few other things, because that's that's going free to play this 726 00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:08.599 week and be everywhere. I had an idea about that. That one I'll 727 00:46:08.639 --> 00:46:12.800 talk about with and then we'll come back tomorrow and I'll say if the idea 728 00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:15.280 can work. But we'll probably play some of that. And there's a few 729 00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:20.199 other things happening. I think there's a very online show. We'll voicemail, 730 00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:22.280 dump truck, a whole bunch of stuff happening. Be sure to tune in 731 00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:27.440 a giant bomb until next time, though, everyone, take care of yourself, 732 00:46:27.800 --> 00:46:32.239 have a good one and goodbye bye.
