WEBVTT 1 00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:29.960 Hey everybody, It's Tuesday, January thirtieth, twenty twenty four. Holy smokes, 2 00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:34.520 my month is done. I have been sitting around here not doing squat. 3 00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.479 The month of January is almost over. Welcome to the Giant BombCast. 4 00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.359 Scout, thank you for welcoming everybody in and possibly making all the other dogs 5 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:45.119 listening to this freak out. Welcome to the Giant BombCast powered by NZXT, 6 00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:50.399 Episode eight hundred and twenty five. I'm your host. Jan Oshoa joining me 7 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.759 as always is not Jeff Grub, So he's not joining me today. He's 8 00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.679 out on assignment. We wish him the best. We hope that he's okay 9 00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:00.560 dealing with the frozen tundra that we have sent him to. But here, 10 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:07.040 as always the arbiter of all things football, we can't get him to stop 11 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:15.040 talking about football. Whether it is the Green Bay Packers, the Philadelphia Eagles, 12 00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:22.120 the LA Chargers, Jeff Bakolar, or the Miami Heat that's a basketball 13 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:26.879 team, the Orlando tragedy, whoever it is, it doesn't matter. I 14 00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:34.120 just want everyone to know that jan Ochoa is a football criminal for what he 15 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:40.400 is attempting to do on today's show. Jeff Grubb as you all know, 16 00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:46.640 is a diehard Detroit Lions fan who the forty nine ers embarrassed over the weekend 17 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:51.040 after they came back down a substantial amount and then wound up winning the game. 18 00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:59.159 And Jen Ochoa has the audacity to rock a pretty cool like forty nine 19 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.519 ers top is pretty cool, thank you, but at the same time does 20 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:08.520 not allow Jeff Grubb to be present to defend himself at all, and he's 21 00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:13.479 doing all this behind his back, and I just want everyone to know about 22 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.719 these football crimes now. At the same time, everyone, I'm very happy 23 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:21.840 that Taylor Swift is in the Super Bowl. Finally there is a reason for 24 00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:24.840 anyone to watch the Super Bowl. This is really what football needs, is 25 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:30.639 more attention, and I could not be happier for everyone involved in this sport 26 00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:37.199 known Taylor Swift officionado, he's changing his beat completely from covering games to covering 27 00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:42.000 how Taylor Swift is adjacently affecting the game's industry. Dan Reiker, I should 28 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.400 find my old Chiefs starter jacket. I feel like that would be appropriate on 29 00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:49.719 this podcast. Got sick that look nice? Dan had a Chief ste Kak 30 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.439 and I had a Packers starter jacket, So I grew up watching the Chiefs. 31 00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.960 I've actually watched a couple of football games this year with them going into 32 00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.719 the Super Bowl. I know it's Chiefs forty nine ers. I don't know 33 00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.840 a whole bunch about this year, but hey, it's all the same colors. 34 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:05.039 He knows what's gonna happen. Ye just where red and you'll be covered. 35 00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:07.960 Yes, yes, a team will win. Yep, no, I'll 36 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:09.120 watch the Super Bowl. Ill root with the Chiefs. So I haven't kept 37 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:13.159 up as much in the last decade or so, but grew up a Chiefs 38 00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:15.800 fan, so I know who I'm rooting for. We should play NFL Street 39 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:20.439 on this website. I would love that any time, any time, any 40 00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.599 street game outside of soccer. Like, you know, we don't understand how 41 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:28.159 that is. No FIFA street rules. It's way better. Yes, I 42 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.360 try to play it because I was like, I'm not a sports guy in 43 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:31.520 general, but the street games are great. Even though I don't like soccer. 44 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:36.960 Maybe i'd like Fever Street. It was very confusing in joining us. 45 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.520 Everyone give her a round of applause, because I'm not quite sure she actually 46 00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:45.960 knows how to clap. Making her return to Gibob programming coming in at number 47 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:52.919 thirty Bailey Myers, Okay, these are the loudest claps we can muster. 48 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.879 You know, Bailey, I think I've known you, what now, for 49 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.439 like a year and a half and some change. I don't think I've ever 50 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.599 seen you clap until today. In many ways, we've known each other our 51 00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:09.039 whole lives. Wow, I'm not a clapping kind of goal. I don't 52 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.759 know. It hurts my sensitive little hands because I've never worked a real job 53 00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:16.720 in my life. I was gonna ask my initial pre show questions were, 54 00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:23.199 have any of you or any of us ever worked in a grocery store stock 55 00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:27.360 room? Dan? I believe you have right. My entire family before me 56 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.160 did, but I was the one who escaped it because the store went out 57 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.439 of business in nineteen ninety four. It comes from a long lineage of stock 58 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:39.279 room My entire family is farmers and grocery people, and I know nothing about 59 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:44.560 either of them. So you don't that could about you the groceryman. You 60 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.759 come from a long line of groceryman's. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Warkers 61 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.319 Market, Hell yeah. I didn't do I didn't do like a stock room 62 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:53.600 stuff, but I did work at like a pharmacy. For a couple of 63 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.279 years, I worked at a liquor store. We had a stock room and 64 00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.839 a freezer and stuff there, and that's that's a Jason right yeah, consh. 65 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.680 You know, God, I loved when I worked at a food place. 66 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.439 I loved just sitting in the walking freezer. He was great. It 67 00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:10.160 was very zen. That was my mood. Like every time when I was 68 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.279 a supervisor at AMC, whenever there was a big rush. I remember, 69 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.839 like the weekend Toy Story two came out and it was playing in all four 70 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:17.560 of our huge theaters and so it was NonStop. We had to make these 71 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:19.879 kids packs that were like you know, it was like you had to do 72 00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:23.439 like six different things or it's like a drink, popcorn, snacks and all 73 00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.800 that. And I hated it. So whenever Toy Story two rushes were coming 74 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.160 in, I was the only one who had the key to the storage room 75 00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:30.920 because I was a supervisor. So I would just go sit on the frozen 76 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.120 hot dogs and I would just steal for topias and sour patch kids and eat 77 00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:38.800 them until the rush was over. Hell yeah, hell yeah. When at 78 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:42.399 that place I was talking about just now, I used to I was one 79 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.000 of the prep cooks, So I would be slicing a deli meat for forever. 80 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:50.439 I would hide snack meats on the side and put them in the fridge 81 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:55.560 in a specific place because when I go hide, because I want to take 82 00:05:55.560 --> 00:06:00.000 an extra five ten minutes, I would be snacking on sliced turkey and salama 83 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.360 me in my little compartment. Your go to cold cut brand. Well, 84 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:11.199 here in the Bay Area where dominated by Boor's Head. That's true. So 85 00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:15.199 it's okay, it's okay, it's all right. I like to get the 86 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.079 guy at the deli countered to work at the deli counter at the grocery store. 87 00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:21.800 So it brings me a sense of nostalgia, like remember the time your 88 00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:25.759 sister worked at a deli at a grocery store. You get some turkey, 89 00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:30.199 girl. I love like when they when you're like, they're like, oh, 90 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:30.680 how do you want it? Slice? And you're like, oh, 91 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:35.519 not too not too thick, and then they like do a slice and just 92 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:40.240 like hand it to you and they're like, here have a piece of meat 93 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:45.839 dangling off my fingers in the store. Crazy, it's normal. Crazy style. 94 00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.879 Crazy style is something they put a real stink on it. If I 95 00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:55.759 want crazy style. Jan Your description of a walk in cold storage just reminds 96 00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.920 me of like a lot of nineties movies set locations. I feel like like 97 00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.560 that was the place to like have a scene in your in your film, 98 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:06.600 like, oh this world the kids are are sharing their misery and commiserating and 99 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:12.879 whatnot. Right, So, uh, it was mostly just me hiding. 100 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.879 And then I got caught hiding in the walk and fridge Scout is going crazy 101 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.600 right now. So I started out as a cold cut thing. We all 102 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:20.560 know that. Yes, yeah, I been an issue for a while. 103 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:24.920 So I started hiding where we threw all the bread away at the end of 104 00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:30.319 the day. Uh. And then I befriended a local vagrant that would that 105 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:32.000 knew that we would throw the bread away, so he would just take the 106 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:36.600 bread. So I just started bagging the bread for him. Yeah. Yeah, 107 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:41.120 and then and then I got in trouble for that as well. Yeah, 108 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:46.399 because capitalism is a nightmare and throwing away food is morally reprehensible when so 109 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:48.800 many people are starving, and yet they continue to do it. So like 110 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:59.319 whatever its dumpsters, you should know better, dosters needs to jam. It 111 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.360 was very considered of me, I know, tossing twenty five bag heads away 112 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:05.439 because no one wanted to buy them. It's all my fault. If the 113 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.800 dumpster is hungry, it starts to molt and you do not want to see 114 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.399 it. Do that. I did. I did start taking the bread home 115 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.720 at the end of the day, some of the bread home and just giving 116 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:22.279 them off as gifts. You wrap them ira fucking stuff that stuff like, 117 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:24.759 hey, here's two pounds of Sara. Though, Grandma, I know that 118 00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:28.199 you can't have this, but here's the thought. I looked at Jimmy John's, 119 00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:30.720 like on the main bar street in college, they would sell their day 120 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.919 olds like footlongs for like or begets for fifty cents and so, and they'd 121 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:37.840 be opened super late. So like, after you're out drinking all night, 122 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:41.360 you wander into Jimmy Johns's, Pay fifty cents, get a big ass spaghett 123 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:43.159 go home, throw a bunch of cheese on it. You're good to go 124 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.440 for fifty cents. There was a donut store by where I went to college 125 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.879 that would have like a doughnut bucket that was just full of all the day 126 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:56.120 olds that they would sell for five dollars to whoever was just lucky enough to 127 00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.879 get there when they had the bucket out. And one time I was lucky 128 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:01.919 enough to get the bucket. It was so many donuts. I was in 129 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.120 donuts for a week. I was eating week old donuts and I was like, 130 00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.759 I don't even care. This is great. It was not great. 131 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:13.240 It was it was a bad time, frankly for my body, my fide. 132 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.120 What was the strat there, Bailey, Did you reheat any of the 133 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:20.519 donuts or just out of the bucket? No? I feel like good. 134 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:24.799 I feel like maybe I would freeze those those nuts. Yeah, but then 135 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:30.320 they're like harder to eat because they're cold. Well, of course I start. 136 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:33.200 I started freezing bagels because everyone told me, oh, you should freeze 137 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.840 your bagels afterwards. And here's what you do. I'll tell you right now, 138 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.679 here's what you do. So as I has a bagel, Mayer, 139 00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:48.559 I will tell you, honestly, who who is better qualified? Like you 140 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.840 get your frozen bagel, you put it in a toaster oven or regular oven. 141 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.879 Uh. I would maybe put on the top of it a thin layer 142 00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:03.159 of tinfoil, but either way, bake it two hundred degrees for about fifteen 143 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:09.159 to twenty minutes, and you have the freshest closest thing to a freshest bagel 144 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.480 out of the store as you can possibly get. It's super easy. Don't 145 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.799 even think twice. That's how it's the cream cheese on my bagels. But 146 00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:20.519 show us another option. No, well, obviously you wouldn't put You wouldn't 147 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.200 put cream cheese on a frozen bagel and then insert it into a toaster. 148 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:28.600 That would be like a psychopath move. You would just you know, you 149 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.440 cut that open and then the steam rises out of it and you're just like, 150 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.960 wow, is it me? Or is this a freshly baked oven bagel? 151 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.759 That sounds like a lot of work. Jeff Beckeler just like it seems 152 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.159 like a lot of work to one hundred percent. Spider Man two, we're 153 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:43.919 talking about video games. Now. I'm gonna go see to this dog. 154 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.960 I'll be right back. What's going on over there? Yo? Let me 155 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:54.039 tell everyone something about the journey that my son has been on with the video 156 00:10:54.120 --> 00:11:01.279 game, Marvel's Spider Man two. We finished the campaign back in twenty twenty 157 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:05.840 three last year, and we enjoyed it a great deal, front to back, 158 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:09.279 really engaging. We did stop playing it. If you recall, this 159 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.759 is kindon, but we did stop playing once Craven stabbed the scientist in the 160 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:18.000 neck with the syringe. That was a little too much for Dib. He 161 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:20.240 was like, oh, you know what, I'm gonna have nightmares about this, 162 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.639 like fur wearing freak. I don't want to be stabbed by him in 163 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.200 my dreams. So let's take a couple of breaks, a couple of weeks, 164 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.000 not in the neck, bud not in the neck, and like violently 165 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:37.519 jabbed with some sort of green liquid solution. Really sure you always know how 166 00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:43.120 to make sense of these problems he has, I d yeah, it's great. 167 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:46.080 So I there's a lot of things I need to tell Hanson with you 168 00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:50.360 local now I we'll get to that later. Also, so yeah, he 169 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:54.519 was. He swore off Spider Man two for a while, and then one 170 00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:56.080 day he came to me and he like, mustard up the courage and he's 171 00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.799 just like, Dad, let's let's get back into it. And it was 172 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:03.440 off and we just like mainline, the main story, and we really knocked 173 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.840 it out. We finished that and then I don't know what it was, 174 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.200 but he, you know, he's he liked watching me play. He didn't 175 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:13.600 like playing himself Spider Man two is also very hard, like it's a difficult 176 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:18.360 game. The boss battles, especially deeper into the into the game, are 177 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.759 tough, like I kind of found like Venom was maybe the easiest of all 178 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.799 of them, Like the ones up until then were really hard, like that 179 00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:30.639 Lizard one's tough. Like it it's difficult, right, So I would every 180 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:33.159 now and then hand it to him and he and he'd die and you'd get 181 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.600 real upset and p he didn't like uh Spider Man like rag dolling the way 182 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.039 he dies and that it's kind of upsetting. He does. He does died 183 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:48.039 dramatically and just like he just flops around and everybody Spider Man's a showman, 184 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:50.639 you know, yeah, you know, he's just he's such a young child. 185 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.600 Anyway, So we finished the game, we see we roll credits and 186 00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:00.799 I don't know what it was, but he's like, let's go back and 187 00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.600 just like do everything. And I'm like, you know what, why don't 188 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:07.559 you just like start playing this game? And I don't know what. It 189 00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:13.240 was. A light bulb lit in his mind, and this dude went from 190 00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:20.679 sixty seven percent completion of Spider Man two to one hundred. My man did 191 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.759 every last mission. He did all the side story stuff with like the Flame 192 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:30.080 people he did and this, and he's awesome at it. He's so good. 193 00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:31.600 He figured out, like you know, I taught him a lot of 194 00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:35.879 like the Spider Sense dodging stuff and how and basically like the left and right 195 00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:41.960 you know, specials and whatnot. And once that all clicked, this he's 196 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:46.360 doing fancy tricks with his you know, web sling in. He's like going, 197 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:48.320 He's like, check this out. He's like, he's like, yo, 198 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:50.720 check it out, Dad. I got the Spider Man Noir suit. 199 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.960 It's like the weird frame rate from the movie, so it looks really dope. 200 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:56.919 And also watch this. I'm telling you, this guy went nuts on 201 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.559 this game. I couldn't believe it. I could not believe how quickly he 202 00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.840 picked it all up and just kicked ass all the way through. I got 203 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.159 a question for you, back, Lark. Does DIB have his own PlayStation 204 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:15.639 account on the PS five so he I think he does like undermine, Okay, 205 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:18.600 because I'm saying, you know, if trophies are still a hot commodity, 206 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:24.960 you get this kid start mining for these trophies. Yeah. Yeah, 207 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:28.320 We've been talking about that because he he did. He started to go through 208 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.000 the trophies I had, and he's like, you got a couple of platinums 209 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.480 that that's pretty cool. No one in my school has platinums. That's sick. 210 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.440 So I don't I don't know. I'm gonna have to like call one 211 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:41.759 of our people and be like, yo, can we like trance, Like 212 00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:43.440 how do we how do we make this right? By dip? How do 213 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:46.519 how do we get him? How do we get him right? I don't 214 00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:50.080 know. I don't know how that's gonna work. Dan, you used to 215 00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:52.960 tell me about things you could do with like sharing accounts. Have you got 216 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.919 any primary Well that's more ifidy you have like multiple systems and you're trying to 217 00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:58.600 like access games. Yeah, we yeah, we have stuff like that. 218 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:01.480 I need like a whole run down with that. Anyway, Long story short 219 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:07.759 is Dylan one spider Man, and uh, it's it's amazing to see like 220 00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.799 when he found that last microbot, when he found that last spider bot, 221 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:15.240 to like finish that whole storyline, this kid was running around the house. 222 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:18.519 It was it was so sick. What what a what a moment? What 223 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:20.720 a moment. I'm surprised. I always assumed he was going down to like 224 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:22.840 a jock route. I didn't know how to use a computer, Like it 225 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:24.120 seemed like that was the path he was going down, like, you know, 226 00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.000 not to did you say that? Man, he's just a hockey kid. 227 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:28.840 You know, I feared he'd be kind of like just like a meadhead 228 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:31.399 sports guy and didn't know how to use any technology. You know, he's 229 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.759 just not a bright kid. That's what I'm saying. What you're saying. 230 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:41.080 I feel like the cool thing about Dylan is that he is well rounded and 231 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:48.360 he hangs out with jocks and the nerds and just kind of Dylan. Yeah, 232 00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:54.080 this is my first time learning. Yeah, it's you know, that's 233 00:15:54.120 --> 00:16:00.399 the beauty of him. Larst Jib is why he's a well rounded individual and 234 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:06.720 it gets along with the people all walks at extreme you know, I get 235 00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:07.720 it. You have to. You have to say amazing things. I understand. 236 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.639 Look, there there is a gift floating out there of him checking someone 237 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:17.279 in a hockey game. That's what I'm talking about. That's yeah. But 238 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:18.879 at the same time, he like went over to see if he was okay. 239 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:22.120 You know, he's like, hey, man, hock hockey is hard. 240 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:25.000 Like I gotta I gotta make sure you're right. The duality of DIB 241 00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:27.840 we love it. Yeah, so I get it. You're you're already jealous 242 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:32.200 the things this kid is accomplished at the age of eight. I understand now, 243 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:34.320 I have to see that knowledge and stuff. I'm fine. You know. 244 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:38.240 That's like someone who absolutely has skills and knowledge that makes sense exactly. 245 00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:41.519 That's what people have him say, Yes, thanks you. The thing about 246 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.120 you, Dan is a lot of people are like that. Dan has knowledge. 247 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:48.480 That's the main stuff. That's that's the main thing. That's the gimmick 248 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:56.120 exactly. The gimmick is that he knows stuff. If you haven't been paying 249 00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:00.120 attention for thirty years stuff, actually no, keep it. Yeah, yeah's 250 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.200 been giving it out for free. What are you talking about exactly? Anyway, 251 00:17:03.319 --> 00:17:07.319 that's that's the Spider Man arc. I don't know what we're gonna do 252 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.880 next. I'm gonna maybe show him Suicide Squad and have him like, well, 253 00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.119 no, I mean, not to spoil a news story, but you 254 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:21.279 can just complete that game one hundred percent by downloading it. Apparently, a 255 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:26.240 game that I quickly checked out amidst being sandwiched by two gigantic RPGs is Go 256 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:30.839 Mecha Ball Go, And I think, I think, I think this might 257 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:34.559 be a sleeper one y'all, because this is a twin stick shooter, a 258 00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:38.279 roguelike. You know what was missing from Hades besides guns? I mean, 259 00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:44.240 I guess it did have a gun transforming into a ball and just like kind 260 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.319 of sonic spin dashing and platforming around. This has like a neat look to 261 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:51.920 it. And I know that I have been used comparing a lot of things 262 00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:57.079 to two thousands Nickelodeon Edgy style lately, like it reminds me a lot of 263 00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:02.240 Talk the Power of Juju. This continues to remind me of Talk the Power 264 00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:04.279 of Juju, but with like robots and stuff. It's a neat little I 265 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:07.319 only play like maybe like one or two hours of it. Maybe we'll do 266 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:12.200 a GB plays this week if there's time, But it's it's doing a lot 267 00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:18.759 of neat things where I think Haiti's really nailed the roguelike element really well because 268 00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.920 of the speed of playing through it, and I think with some other roguelikes, 269 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.799 each run just takes too long to get going. But Go Mecha Ball 270 00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:30.480 Go. Highly recommend it if you have game pass. It is currently on 271 00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:33.240 game Pass, but forget that. It's not the world I want to live 272 00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:37.440 in. The world I want to live in is the world of Pandora. 273 00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:44.279 I want to worship the tree, the Tree of Life. Awa and Maley, 274 00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:48.920 I understand that you've been going there with Avatar Frontiers of Pandora. Yes. 275 00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:52.200 In fact, in just thirty minutes, the honest game trailer for it, 276 00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:57.319 featuring all of my thoughts, is going to be dropping. Give us 277 00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:02.480 a preview. We give a little pre view about I saw the script. 278 00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:04.440 I saw parts of the script, but you know they did send you one 279 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:07.119 specific part of the script. That's true, because when I was writing to 280 00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:11.440 back check it, you had a fact with the true I felt like my 281 00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:15.240 brain was melting. I'm a navigator. Come on. Yes, here's the 282 00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:19.880 thing is, I don't dislike the Avatar movies. I respect what they're doing. 283 00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:26.240 I love their earnestness, and I think they look really nice. And 284 00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:30.519 I think a lot of the performances in it are really good and perhaps underrated 285 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:38.640 due to the everything else about it. And I remember at least two thirds 286 00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:42.079 of Way of Water before I got bored and started just hanging out at the 287 00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:48.519 bar at the movie theater. It's it's fine. It's a it's a fine 288 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:52.920 series of movies if that's what you're into. I don't know if it necessarily 289 00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:59.000 works as a far Cry game personally. Okay, okay, I think there 290 00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:02.400 were a lot of the thing is in video games. I don't know if 291 00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:07.640 you guys know this, there's like sort of an accepted visual language where you're 292 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.799 like, ah, I don't know where to go, but some stuff in 293 00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:15.680 this scene is like really bright, and so probably I'm supposed to be paying 294 00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:22.519 attention to that. And in Avatar, that's the whole scene. Everything's really 295 00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:26.640 bright because they make it look just like the movie and it's so pretty until 296 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:32.200 you have to go on another fucking fetch quest and you don't know where you're 297 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:37.279 going because everything is like look at me, and I'm like, I don't 298 00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:38.759 want to look at you. I want to look at where the thing is 299 00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:41.720 that I'm trying to find to get the stupid tribe to like me so we 300 00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:45.839 can defeat the sky people. Does it do the like map vombit thing, 301 00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:48.359 like can you go to the map and is that clearly like labeled or anything, 302 00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:55.839 or the map is it borders on useless? I would say I was 303 00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:59.759 spoiled by the map in Balder's Gate three, I was so good at just 304 00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:00.759 like where I was going. Because I would go to the map, I'd 305 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:04.799 be like, Okay, this map is like firmly oriented in one place, 306 00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:07.880 and I follow my compass and I go, okay, I need to go 307 00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:11.680 south. The map in avatar spaces, I don't know which ways up. 308 00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:17.039 It's fine, We're in space. It's all right, Bailey. You Also, 309 00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:19.559 the hut does not track the main objective. You can put a marker 310 00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:23.039 on the map and it'll track that. It will not tell you where you're 311 00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:26.559 supposed to go for the main objective. You have to use your special spidery 312 00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:30.279 senses in order to like tune into nature or whatever. And the way you 313 00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:34.000 know where you're supposed to go is the main objective shows up as like a 314 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:38.079 little blue dot and you have to find it. Is it trying to do 315 00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:41.559 like a breath the wild thing? Is it like intentional it's like, oh, 316 00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:42.720 you're going to find your own way? Or is it just bad in 317 00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:47.640 that way? I think they do want to encourage exploration, but not like 318 00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:52.680 in an intentional and well thought out breath of the wild way in like a 319 00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:57.200 bad way. Oh okay, yeah, it's basically far cry primal and but 320 00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:04.079 oh oh okay, that's a game in a minute. Nice. Do you 321 00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:07.599 think when we refer to things being like the recent Zelda games, are we 322 00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:11.079 all going to default to Breath the Wild when we compare it, because like 323 00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:12.440 Tears the Kingdom does the same stuff. But are we all just gonna say 324 00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:15.640 Breath the Wild because it was the first one. I feel like my instinct 325 00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:22.960 is to say Breath the Wild even though this doesn't matter. I'll say, 326 00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:33.039 I'll say talk key sometimes taky top key, like Tears of the Kingdom top 327 00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:37.680 because you then explain what you meant to three people. No, no, 328 00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:41.160 no, it's going to play it. Here's the thing, though I've explained 329 00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:44.279 it once, I've already incepted it into Yell's brains. It's gonna happen. 330 00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:48.279 Now. How do you acronym? I just say breadth of the wild. 331 00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:56.240 You don't say I was pretty good? Actually bought one more than it sounds 332 00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:00.960 like like two weird children who are like identical twins that you go to school 333 00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:04.440 with, or something you think like whatever happened to botwe and you look it 334 00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:07.759 up and they're both in jail for different reasons. They're like twin children that 335 00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:11.200 you would meet in a Zelda village, but one yes, there we go. 336 00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:15.200 Yeah, Yeah, I think they're interchangeable, Dan. I think that's 337 00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:18.240 the answer, is that people will assume mostly the same thing. They're very 338 00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:22.799 similar games. Are they not the best? Ability? You know, there's 339 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:26.480 there's one that has a disgustingly horrendous and heinous thing that you can do to 340 00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:32.920 a mountain. Okay, that's it. The other one LIKELID, What do 341 00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:37.119 you think it feels like for Link when he ascends is going through the void. 342 00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:40.799 It it's really good. It feels like good for the mountain. It's 343 00:23:40.839 --> 00:23:45.000 like if you like put jello through a meat grinder, Like that's what I 344 00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:48.440 feel like it is. I can't. Do you think he's the same like 345 00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:49.920 when he comes out the other side, or do you think it's sort of 346 00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:57.519 like a prestige situation or like type of deal. Yeah, his molecular makeup 347 00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:03.000 is like broken down and then reassembled. I just I don't know. It's 348 00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:06.079 very upsetting. It's maybe it's more like Mike TV. I can't the real 349 00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:08.319 Link is dead in a vat and that's just like link number eight hundred and 350 00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:12.559 seven. Yeah, yeah, exactly, they just throw away his bones. 351 00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:15.200 They should have done a thing where like one out of one hundred thousand times 352 00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.599 there's this freaky thing where it's like, you know the playto that you'd make 353 00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.000 the spaghetti out of. Yeah, yeah, just like freakisly like once every 354 00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:23.599 once in a while he just comes out like those strings and it's like, 355 00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:30.759 oh God, show yes that time it kills you. Sorry, that's one 356 00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:37.039 of the sanity effects Tears of the Kingdom. But even if that did happen, 357 00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:41.519 would you, guys at any point like do that though, Like have 358 00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:44.759 you ever just wanted to be like go upstairs but not really put any effort 359 00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:48.519 into it? Yeah, yes, I feel like I do it every time, 360 00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:51.200 even if there was a one in one hundred thousand chances it would spaghettify 361 00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:56.440 me. Yeah, I look at all the time, so yeah, I 362 00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:59.720 feel I would start at the head, so it'd be your brain first, 363 00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:03.119 so I think you wouldn't really feel anything, so I would instant death. 364 00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:06.240 Yeah yeah, yeah, I thought you doing what she loved, not going 365 00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:11.319 upstairs the normal way. Yep. Turning into human spaghetti is something that it 366 00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:17.839 would expect actually from like a dragon infinite wealth. Dan, You've you've been 367 00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:23.640 painstakingly preparing for what we're doing on UPF this week. Yeah, we're doing 368 00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:30.599 Dundoko Dare Dan, how would you describe Dundoko Dare to the folks at home? 369 00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:34.200 Okay, for those that saw High Real Hustle, it kind of started 370 00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:37.240 with an idea of like, oh I bet I could do something like that 371 00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:41.240 and Yakiza, and then yesterday I played a ton of it specifically with this 372 00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:44.039 in mind, like, Okay, what are these missions and things like that 373 00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:47.119 that I can put down? And I think it's going. I think it's 374 00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:51.839 even more finally tuned for this type of thing than Breath the Wild was. 375 00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:55.440 I have so many stupid missions I'm going to make you and Grub do against 376 00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:57.960 each other, just races. And I don't even want to tell you parts 377 00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:00.880 of the format because I think that there are ways that this differs from High 378 00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:04.680 Real Hustle that you're gonna like, there's bonuses, there's a game breaker mechanic 379 00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:08.799 I've come up with here. I've got some bullshit penalties and things like that, 380 00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:11.680 looking at if there's ways for you guys to steal points from each other. 381 00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.000 So basically, you and Jeff Grapp are gonna have ninety minutes against each 382 00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:18.519 other in Infinite Wealth. You're both going to have your game feeds up at 383 00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:22.039 the same time, and I will explain the rules and missions to you when 384 00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:26.759 we go live on Friday, and you will have ninety minutes to do as 385 00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:30.880 much shit as possible. And that's all I want to say about it, 386 00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:32.799 because I want to preserve a lot. I don't want you to know. 387 00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:33.279 I don't want to grow to know. I don't want the audience to know 388 00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:37.480 until we're live. You just you need to have ten thousand dollars in the 389 00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:40.200 game. That's it, and have done to Oko Island Unlock, have some 390 00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:42.519 things in Hawaiian Lock that I've told you about, and then I'm going to 391 00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:47.799 let you loose. How have you been digging like a dragon Infinite Wealth? 392 00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:51.480 Other than making a game show out of it. It's fantastic. It's, 393 00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:53.519 without a doubt, my favorite Yakasa game. It is I think I think 394 00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:57.319 I'm with you Dan, Yeah, yeah, it's it's the new setting helps 395 00:26:57.319 --> 00:27:00.680 a lot because that was the thing. Like as I and dabbled with the 396 00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:03.599 series leading up to it, it was like it was always good, but 397 00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.039 I think constantly going back to that same area and everything. I don't know, 398 00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:10.240 it never felt like I never used the word like lazy or anything like 399 00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:11.680 that, but it felt kind of like, say me after a while after 400 00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:17.000 I've done that in numerous different games, and that same area this I think 401 00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:18.640 the new setting, I think all the side stuff. I think Don Doko 402 00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:23.000 Island, it's it's so fresh, and like I like Itchy Mind as a 403 00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:26.680 character more like the tone of the game better. I think he's just so 404 00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:30.759 likable. And then like this Don Doko stuff. I swear I've spent like 405 00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:33.000 seven or eight hours just doing that. I think I'm like near the end 406 00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:37.440 of it right now, like I'm getting like the very last stuff. But 407 00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:40.640 it's basically like if this was a standalone game for like fifteen twenty bucks, 408 00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:44.720 I would absolutely get this. Yeah, Greg was asking that when we did 409 00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:48.240 the GV plays last week, and initially where I was at when we were 410 00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:53.759 doing that stream, I don't think I could have justified like fifteen twenty dollars 411 00:27:53.759 --> 00:28:00.119 for a specific Dundoko Island spin off, But after putting in more time into 412 00:27:59.960 --> 00:28:03.599 it and how much more gets fleshed out, especially as you unlock more parts 413 00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:08.200 of the island. Yes, Dan, it feels it feels like a crime 414 00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:12.720 that this, in some parts is a better animal crossing game than parts of 415 00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:15.359 animal crossing. Well, animal crossing, I feel like, you know, 416 00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:18.240 I love animal crossing, but like i've you know, in terms of like 417 00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:21.759 buildings and variety, it's like, Okay, I got this thing. Okay, 418 00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:25.359 here's the museum. Here's these like five buildings in my town. Here, 419 00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:27.559 I'm like making districts on this island. I'm like, okay, here's 420 00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:32.160 like kind of the restaurant and like a office district. Here's kind of like 421 00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:37.599 the pachinko parlor, and and you know what's it called the club the cabaret 422 00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:40.480 club and stuff like that. Like I'm like, okay, up here on 423 00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:42.720 by the lighthouses where I put the really fancy house and all the like you 424 00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:47.119 know, the prestige guests get to stay there and everything like it is. 425 00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:49.960 It is really fleshed out. It's not tied to the time mechanic that animal 426 00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:52.720 crossing is, which I think is a great gimmick for animal crossing. But 427 00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.319 I also like the fact that, like I can sit down and watch a 428 00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:00.319 three hour raw and be playing you know, Dundak Island the entire time. 429 00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:02.160 And it's not like, oh, I did the six things I need to 430 00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:06.359 do today, I'll wait till tomorrow. Yeah, it's it's a fantastic side 431 00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:08.440 thing. I know. The Yakuza series is known for like really big, 432 00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:11.920 kind of fleshed out like saying mini games is almost like giving a disservice to 433 00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:15.319 it. But you know what I mean, like side activities, and this, 434 00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:17.200 this is the first one to me that it's felt like this is just 435 00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:21.000 a pull on game inside here. I learned last week that our dear friend 436 00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:25.480 young Elmo Jesse Vittelli was the first person in the world to get a five 437 00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:30.440 star Dundoko Island. Yeah yeah, yeah, you know the type of person 438 00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:34.599 we know Jesse to be a good throwing arm of that guy kind of requirement. 439 00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:37.559 Yes, yes, we get five stars on Dudoko Island. Okay, 440 00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:45.039 cool y yeah yeah yeah yeah Bailey backlar any interest in like a dragon infinite 441 00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:49.720 wealth at all the more that? Yeah? Okay, yeah, finish your 442 00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:56.960 thought? Yeah sure o huh well okay, I will go the other direction 443 00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:07.480 and wait, doesn't like something so unusual weird? Look, you know everyone's 444 00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:10.880 allowed to not like or like you think. You think this is what I 445 00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:15.839 choose. You think like I want to go around mister grumpy saying fuck you 446 00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:19.720 and you're ugly to everything on earth. It's really not for two months and 447 00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:23.279 you guys change every single bit that you do. You really can't go home 448 00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:30.200 again. I have listen, people are like you. You know you like 449 00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:36.359 hockey and your son. I like so much stuff. I like so much 450 00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:42.319 stuff like props, love keyboards. I probably have more hobbies than anyone. 451 00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:47.319 You know. I don't talk about all of them, but I do. 452 00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:52.160 Okay, as a pilot's license going, say, why how's the pilot's license 453 00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:57.200 going? Now you're thinking of that's the man with some hobbies right there. 454 00:30:57.480 --> 00:31:00.119 I'm just saying, like, there are so many things I like. It 455 00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:03.839 just so happens when it comes to like, I don't know. Maybe it's 456 00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:08.200 just like I'm very opinionated about like games, music and movies. Right, 457 00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:14.720 I'm not. I'm aware there's I have a pretty high bar, perhaps unrealistic 458 00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:19.119 at times. I understand that, and I do get upset pretty easily about 459 00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:23.240 things that I think are stupid. Right, And I really let you know 460 00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:27.079 when I think something stupid. I probably talk more about the things I don't 461 00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:32.039 like than the things I do like, which is probably why there is this 462 00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:37.119 you know inverse if that makes sense, right. Although when I do like 463 00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:40.920 a game, right, I go off like I really tell you about it, 464 00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:44.039 right, Like alan Wig two was like a big deal for me. 465 00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:51.160 Guys, I like stuff. There's stuff you're not the people saying you don't 466 00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:56.400 like stuff you're not. I am, oh, yeah, is for sure. 467 00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:00.799 I like, you know, I just don't really like a lot of 468 00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:07.519 bad stuff. Listen, uh like a dragon like infinite wealth. I just 469 00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:12.559 feel like is a thing that's probably on the bubble for me that I just 470 00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:15.680 I don't know. Someone was telling me last week like yo, you know 471 00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:20.039 maybe like maybe I heard a second hand from him where it's like yo, 472 00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:24.279 like hey, twenty hours and you're like set and I'm just like what what? 473 00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:30.480 Well, you know, I'm sorry, I'm I. I have too 474 00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:32.559 many things going on for that. I just cannot do that. I got 475 00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:36.480 a cue. I like that that is a thing you do. No, 476 00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:38.200 I totally do for like, okay, cool, But that's the thing is 477 00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:40.839 like I feel like I've applied that to other games where it's like people say, 478 00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:44.480 like, oh, once you get past this five hour boring intro of 479 00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:46.279 this Assassin's Creed game, and it's really good. And I've done that argument 480 00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:50.119 where I'm like, well, I'm not going to wait five hours for this 481 00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:52.440 thing to get good. I've got other things I could be doing. I've 482 00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:55.640 used that exact same argument before. I don't know exactly what it is about 483 00:32:55.640 --> 00:32:59.359 Infinite Wealth though, to where it's like, I mean, they're right. 484 00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:01.039 I mean, it is a slow start. It doesn't really open up until 485 00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:06.160 like chapter four, which is maybe a good eight hours in or something like 486 00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:07.759 that. Yeah, Dan, where are you at now? And like, 487 00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:10.440 what's the game clock looking at I'm in like twenty seven hours now, I 488 00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:15.359 think twenty seven, twenty eight something like that. And it does extremely open 489 00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:16.960 up at a certain point, like somewhere between like chapters four and six is 490 00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:22.240 where it's like really lets you loose on the island and everything. But yeah, 491 00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:24.680 I don't know what it was. I think it was just the tone 492 00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:28.039 and the writing and the characters of the game that like kind of kept me 493 00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:30.759 going where other games would not, because like I don't give a shit about 494 00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:34.799 like Assassin's Creed characters. I don't like the tone of those games or anything, 495 00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:37.480 whereas with this, I was just finding myself. It's like really amused 496 00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:39.799 and endeared to these characters, and I was like, yeah, okay, 497 00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:43.480 I'll sit through this stuff, Whereas I think in a lot of other games 498 00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:46.400 I would have bounced off pretty hard. Yeah, Beckler, all that being 499 00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:52.559 said about like a Dragon Infinite Wealth being a gigantic, huge time sink where 500 00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:55.359 you have to dedicate four weeks of your life to get to chapter four, 501 00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:00.559 I do think you would like the story at least. I think you'd really 502 00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:05.519 dig ichibun as like a lovable goofball. Yeah, yeah, I don't. 503 00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:12.079 Yeah, And I also think that there's I also think there's like something that 504 00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:15.320 overrides the frustration of like having to play that for a while, because it 505 00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:19.760 is part of like the conversation away that I want to be in on the 506 00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:24.000 joke, you know, I don't know Is this a game? Right? 507 00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:27.679 Is this a game? Yeah? Maybe I could just use the TLDR. 508 00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:30.119 Is this a game, like you think people are going to talk about in 509 00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:34.840 three months? I think this is on the Spoon Yeah, at the Spoon 510 00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:38.559 game. It will definitely be my top ten, you were like a hard 511 00:34:38.599 --> 00:34:44.679 no, definitely not interested in playing it. Five seconds ago? No hard, 512 00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:51.920 no, you were what are you? Stop gaslighting us? I just 513 00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:53.880 I don't think those words came out of my mouth. I still don't, 514 00:34:54.440 --> 00:34:58.400 to be clear, at this point, I don't have any any intention of 515 00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:02.079 playing You sure to play it back later. I don't have any intention of 516 00:35:02.119 --> 00:35:06.920 playing it, But you know, I don't know. It's just it's just 517 00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:09.400 too hard. It's just too hard. Yeah, you know. It's like 518 00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:14.400 it's like I feel this way about the same way I feel about sitting in 519 00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:16.480 traffic. I just can't. I just can't deal with that. I can't 520 00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:20.559 fucking do that. Okay, Okay, Well I got the perfect game for 521 00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:25.519 you, and that game is another gigantic RPG Persona three reload. Uh, 522 00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:29.599 backler, you're gonna dig everything about this you wanna do? You want to 523 00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:32.599 be maybe two hours into a game and we're still in the initial prologue before 524 00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:37.119 they let you lease. It sounds not like the thing I want to do. 525 00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:40.800 What about? What about they still run you through the morning, afternoon, 526 00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:46.039 evening, and then late late night cycles. Uh, for to get 527 00:35:46.039 --> 00:35:49.679 through the story, just to get through the story, to teach you the 528 00:35:49.679 --> 00:35:52.400 cycle before you actually start playing the game. Are you gonna be into that? 529 00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:54.719 Please? Please know? Okay, okay, what about this? Though? 530 00:35:54.760 --> 00:35:59.400 This is the actual most metal fucking thing in the world, And for 531 00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:05.800 anyone that is familiar with Persona three, there's there's some questionable imagery going on 532 00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:12.440 that maybe uh to take a content warning very seriously, uh for for anyone, 533 00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:16.639 but to summon your persona Jeff Backlar as a fan of the Persona series, 534 00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:20.800 right, Jeff? Uh, instead of ripping your face off or ripping 535 00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:23.559 off a mask, you know what you do? You fucking take a Spirit 536 00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:30.199 revolver gun and shoot your head with it to summon your persona. How fucking 537 00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:32.639 metal is that? That's pretty much? Are these like? Are they stands? 538 00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:39.920 That's pretty odd? There stands, Jeff, There stands is Persona JoJo's 539 00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:44.920 it's the most Jojo thing. As someone that doesn't actually know shit about it, 540 00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:49.320 well, I feel like I've heard that before. You probably heard that 541 00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:52.400 from someone just said. You've probably heard that fact of Persona is based on 542 00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:58.519 Jojo? What well did you guys know this? I don't know any anime. 543 00:36:58.559 --> 00:37:02.559 I've never seen any anime against being a cant personas were inspired by Stands. 544 00:37:02.639 --> 00:37:07.199 Yes, I don't need to play it. I know what it is 545 00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:10.119 already. Jan I actually think the Pope said one piece is okay, okay, 546 00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:14.000 okay, one piece is cool. Of the Pope's sick sick thanks John. 547 00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:16.000 Is that the one we're on right now? I don't know anyway. 548 00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:22.159 Persona three reload it's a remake remaster of the original Persona three, and that 549 00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:25.039 is one of the Persona games I'm not actually super familiar with. I jumped 550 00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:30.320 on the series with Persona four and then kept right along with the whole thing 551 00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:34.239 since then. But Persona three it's been a little bit difficult to actually play 552 00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:37.760 a good version of the game because it was only out I believe, on 553 00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:39.960 the PSP, or like the most comparable version was out on the PSP, 554 00:37:40.320 --> 00:37:45.000 So everything here is completely new to me, and I kind of welcomed that 555 00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:47.920 experience. A lot of people have been telling me that Persona three is like, 556 00:37:49.719 --> 00:37:53.239 low key the best game so far in like the modern Persona series, 557 00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:59.239 not looking at Persona one or two, But this game is gorgeous, y'all. 558 00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:05.000 Like they've taken whatever engine they used for Persona five Royal and put all 559 00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:07.239 of Persona three into it. I'm still very early into the game, and 560 00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:10.519 by very early, I mean ten hours, and it still feels very early 561 00:38:10.559 --> 00:38:15.920 because, par for the course in a Persona game, you were doing the 562 00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:22.480 normal things of building your party, diving deep into someone's psyche and broken internal 563 00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:27.960 state to try and fix them. But social links abound, mini games abound. 564 00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:34.559 I don't know what else to say about Persona three because if you've played 565 00:38:34.599 --> 00:38:37.320 any of them in the past, you kind of know what you're getting into. 566 00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:42.000 And I don't have a lot of pre existing knowledge of Persona three as 567 00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:46.719 the base game, but I do I do understand that the fucking music is 568 00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:50.159 a banger in this game, and it has no right because it's doing the 569 00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:54.199 thing where it's doing like a eurobeat kind of This is if this brings me 570 00:38:54.280 --> 00:39:00.159 back where Luminous was like the big puzzle game and like in terms of like 571 00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:02.360 music and vibes, like, oh, this game is just that huh. 572 00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:07.039 So we're just kind of oh five and we're just kind of like bouncing and 573 00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:09.760 like, all right, now the dude's gonna start rapping. Not particularly well, 574 00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:15.239 but I'm into it. Yeah, It's still it's really weird to say 575 00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:20.840 early in terms of like being ten hours into a game. We're probably going 576 00:39:20.880 --> 00:39:23.840 to talk about it more this week on BCR, but I dig at a 577 00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:29.039 bunch is it is hitting all the classic Persona checkboxes for me in terms of 578 00:39:29.079 --> 00:39:34.599 like angsty youth rebelling against like the greater populace in society. I do know 579 00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:38.760 that one of the biggest changes in Persona three Reload versus Persona three I believe 580 00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:46.320 fez fs is there's no playable female protagonist versus the PSP version where you had 581 00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:51.920 that option, So here you just stuck with the main dude. Yeah. 582 00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:53.760 I don't know what else say about it. It's got fucking style, It's 583 00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:58.159 got all the jazz and stuff that you'd like from a Persona game. I 584 00:39:58.159 --> 00:40:05.679 think it's a very faithful remake remaster of the original game, but it is 585 00:40:05.719 --> 00:40:10.199 a total it's complete tonal whiplash going into Persona three Reload versus Infinite Wealth, 586 00:40:10.199 --> 00:40:15.239 where Infinite Wealth is like a bunch of dudes being dudes and uh, just 587 00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:21.039 being friends and being dumb together, and then like, oh shit, we're 588 00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:23.159 talking about the concept of time and how we got to just deal with our 589 00:40:23.280 --> 00:40:27.719 one trip around the sun. Dan I also thought that was the saying right. 590 00:40:27.719 --> 00:40:30.320 I also thought that was a saying right. It sounds right, doesn't 591 00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:31.760 it. Yeah, you only get one trip around the sun. But that's 592 00:40:31.800 --> 00:40:36.320 not how that works. No, you get tons, Yeah you get like 593 00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:38.800 eighty in theory you get more than that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, 594 00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:42.800 but it feels like as saying that you only get one trip around the sun. 595 00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:47.280 I swear that I must have also heard someone recently missay it is it 596 00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:52.400 really? I don't think it's meant to be like cosmically accurate. I think 597 00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:57.800 it. I think the saying is is more like dubious. No, I 598 00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:01.079 think we're saying wrong. Is the thing? I think? Yeah, around 599 00:41:01.079 --> 00:41:06.400 the sun? And I think, yeah, at least are miss it's misusing 600 00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:08.559 it as you only get one trip around the Sun. The thing that people 601 00:41:08.639 --> 00:41:13.440 don't know about planet Earth is it takes exactly the length of time to go 602 00:41:13.480 --> 00:41:17.159 around the Sun as one human life span, And all the scientists got it 603 00:41:17.239 --> 00:41:22.440 wrong. And that's something that we all need to acknowledge and work and a 604 00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:25.599 past because we only have one trip around the Sun, you see, so 605 00:41:25.639 --> 00:41:30.400 we're running out of time. Even that seems like a lot like going all 606 00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:31.920 the way around the sun. Like, I know it's happening every year, 607 00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:35.840 but like that's fucking crazy and kind of horrifying to think about that. We're 608 00:41:35.880 --> 00:41:38.320 just flying around that far. That's why winter last lasts for thirty years, 609 00:41:38.599 --> 00:41:42.719 right right? Yes? Oh yeah, I mean it's not like we spent 610 00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:45.440 a whole episode of Back to School on it, did we? Yeah, 611 00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:50.320 we talked about space. We just did a strap space episode. Yes we 612 00:41:50.360 --> 00:41:52.519 did. Oh okay, Oh man, I edited those and I forgot that 613 00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:59.199 too. Remember that, Jane, You really got to be the buddy to 614 00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:02.360 back me up on these things. I remember all the other episodes really well, 615 00:42:02.360 --> 00:42:07.400 all right, I Dan was underwater in one. There's been Franklin on 616 00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:12.800 a kite. There's oh was a telescope one? The space one probably sounds 617 00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:15.400 event right, Yeah, okay, that makes it about the telescope. Yeah, 618 00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:17.599 yes, exactly. You now own a thing. No, I had 619 00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:22.840 to sell it when I moved the tree line. Can I can't see the 620 00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:24.840 space from my deck here. There's too many trees. That makes sense. 621 00:42:24.920 --> 00:42:30.239 There's no sky where you move. It's all trees. It's all trees. 622 00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:35.800 Anyway, Folks look forward to a more concise and deeper discussion on Persona three 623 00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:40.039 reload when I convinced a bunch of chuckleheads to talk about that with me this 624 00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:46.159 Friday instead of slaying the concept of time, Bailey, you have been checking 625 00:42:46.159 --> 00:42:51.559 out Sligh the Princess. Yeah, I wanted to. I was really focusing 626 00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:57.320 on indie games this January. We've changed on his game trailers to just do 627 00:42:57.440 --> 00:42:59.800 two a month instead of four months, so I've had a lot more free 628 00:42:59.800 --> 00:43:02.440 time to check out games that I wouldn't otherwise have a chance to play. 629 00:43:02.920 --> 00:43:07.920 Lay the Princess is really cool. It's weird. Yes, I had to 630 00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:12.880 stop playing it because of how visceral some of the drawing Scott because I get 631 00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:15.840 squeezed from blood. It's it's very it's it's not good if you're squeamish around 632 00:43:15.840 --> 00:43:22.480 blood. There was a part where a character decapitates themselves and it's very there's 633 00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:25.280 a lot of I don't even think it's the art that really got me. 634 00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:30.559 It was the noises they chose to. Yeah, like one of the early 635 00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:34.960 one of the early bits is the Prince. You can come across as the 636 00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:39.679 Princess saw as her arm off and they go all in on the sound department 637 00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:45.039 there. Oh, Jesus. Yeah, it's it's rad the way that like 638 00:43:45.159 --> 00:43:50.360 your choices shape the entire story, and like it's not you know, there 639 00:43:50.400 --> 00:43:55.280 isn't like intense gameplay for real gamers. It's a poorror visual novel, but 640 00:43:55.480 --> 00:44:00.760 god, it's cool plus fully voice acted, and like the art style is 641 00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:02.719 so interesting, and I just really love what they're doing, Like they just 642 00:44:04.119 --> 00:44:07.960 they did something that I feel is like very unique and special. He went, 643 00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:13.199 like a good little horror story. Speaking about horror stories, You've been 644 00:44:14.039 --> 00:44:17.440 embarking on a new Nancy Drew game. Yeah, it's new to me. 645 00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:25.599 It's actually thirteen years old, but I started it yesterday. News. Yeah, 646 00:44:27.840 --> 00:44:30.679 news, so I assume, yeah, there's a new one coming out, 647 00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:34.360 but I didn't know this one existed, so it feels new. It's 648 00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:38.559 thirteen years old. It's called The Captive Curse. A lot of Nancy Drew 649 00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:44.480 games are about her forgetting about going on. She has like plans with her 650 00:44:44.519 --> 00:44:49.760 boyfriend Ned that she forgets about and travels abroad and this happens like three times 651 00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:52.280 in a row. And this is the game where he finally yells at her 652 00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:54.920 about it. It's great and he forgives her in like ten minutes. I'm 653 00:44:54.960 --> 00:44:59.920 like, ned grow a backbone. It's wonderful. She goes to German. 654 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:05.960 Any none of the accents sound legit. They're all really bad. There's like 655 00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:12.719 a Frankenstein situation, like people are being terrorized by a Frankenstein monster and she's 656 00:45:12.760 --> 00:45:20.719 gotta and the way to fix it is Nancy's gotta solve some puzzles. I 657 00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:23.559 I don't know if it's wrong, Jane, what's wrong does Nancy Drew deal 658 00:45:23.599 --> 00:45:28.920 in the paranormal? Is the paranormal real in Nancy Drew's universe? The thing 659 00:45:29.079 --> 00:45:34.760 is is it isn't, but she encounters it enough times that like she like 660 00:45:34.840 --> 00:45:37.440 goes in like, well, ghosts aren't real, and then by the end 661 00:45:37.480 --> 00:45:39.119 she's like, maybe a ghosts so real, Like you can still get killed 662 00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:43.639 by the ghost even if at the end of the game the game is like, 663 00:45:43.679 --> 00:45:47.400 oh that was a carbon monoxidely, like you can still die from ghost. 664 00:45:47.960 --> 00:45:52.119 Is there ever any like combat like with ghosts or anything in those games? 665 00:45:52.360 --> 00:45:59.719 They're okay? There is not the ghost in in the Nancy Drew game 666 00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:04.000 that takes place in Paris, which I'm blanking on the name of it ends 667 00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:07.119 with her doing a kung fu fight. Oh nice, and you control it 668 00:46:07.239 --> 00:46:08.840 or you just watching it. You control it. You have to hit, 669 00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:13.280 you have to hit and block the right spots. That's the one time there's 670 00:46:13.320 --> 00:46:16.159 combat in a Nancy Drew game. Mostly she's just using her wits to not 671 00:46:16.280 --> 00:46:22.159 be killed in increasingly gruesome fashion. Oh dear, does it die sound like 672 00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:25.280 the sight the Princess thing? Or is it just like imply that she dies? 673 00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:30.800 It's uh. Sometimes sometimes it gets a little bit sometimes like a rock 674 00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:35.119 will land on her and then it will like cut to black and a text 675 00:46:35.119 --> 00:46:38.199 will be like, the good news is you don't have to worry about school 676 00:46:38.280 --> 00:46:43.960 next year. The bad news is because you're flat like a pancake. It's 677 00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:45.800 like if you die in like a Goosebumps Choose You're Own Adventure, they're always 678 00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:49.480 like a little like snarky about it, and then they're like, you have 679 00:46:49.519 --> 00:46:52.239 made a fatal error, Like, yeah, I guess I shouldn't have stood 680 00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:54.480 under that rock. You're right, man, I have to look on eBay 681 00:46:54.480 --> 00:46:58.679 for some Choose your Own adventure. Goose Danger by Design was the one in 682 00:46:58.679 --> 00:47:02.880 France. Oh okay you you yeah, like just to read Goosebumps kid, 683 00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:07.159 I like I had I'd take like the first like seventy of that initial run, 684 00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:10.880 the first handful from the Choose your Own Adventure stuff. Yeah, I 685 00:47:10.880 --> 00:47:14.280 don't remember. It was a favorite. I remember, Yeah, that's a 686 00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:20.440 great one. I don't remember Choose your Own Adventure? Do like crossing over 687 00:47:20.519 --> 00:47:22.079 with Goosebumps? Yeah, yeah, they tried it. Yeah. You know, 688 00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:25.719 people don't talk enough about the texture Goosebumps font on the book that is 689 00:47:25.800 --> 00:47:30.039 that was delightful, like on the fond Yeah that was yeah. Yeah. 690 00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:32.719 No one talks enough about feeling up library books, like, no one talks 691 00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:38.880 enough about that. I agreed that that kind of mildewy. Oh yeah. 692 00:47:39.079 --> 00:47:45.880 I always felt weird about the books that had like the extra plastic book sleeve 693 00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:47.719 jacket on top of it. I'm like, oh shit, this is breaking. 694 00:47:47.840 --> 00:47:51.559 Am I going to get in trouble of this breaks? It turns out? 695 00:47:51.639 --> 00:47:52.840 Now? Did you have to do that? Don't care? In school 696 00:47:52.840 --> 00:47:55.079 where you had to like you would get your textbooks and you had to get 697 00:47:55.079 --> 00:47:58.679 like the weird like not cardboard, but it was like, yeah, just 698 00:47:58.719 --> 00:48:01.239 shot the cup. Yeah, like what was the cover? Yeah yeah yeah, 699 00:48:01.840 --> 00:48:05.679 to protect it, Dan, I mean, they're going to get dinged 700 00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:07.920 up. And stuff like what is the school trying to sell them back at 701 00:48:07.920 --> 00:48:09.440 the end of the year, Like, I don't they're trying to minimize the 702 00:48:09.519 --> 00:48:14.719 dinged up inness. Do you know how much money our public school system has? 703 00:48:14.840 --> 00:48:19.159 Ten dollars total for the century. I went to call and we had 704 00:48:19.159 --> 00:48:22.639 to get the covers for that too, So yeah, so you know God's 705 00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:28.679 got a budget too. It's also the fact that you know people kids will 706 00:48:28.679 --> 00:48:30.559 write on books. They'll write on the covers of book. Make them off 707 00:48:30.599 --> 00:48:32.039 for me, like, hey, don't fucking do this, or we're going 708 00:48:32.079 --> 00:48:36.239 to charge your parents. It's way easy. Look they did the math. 709 00:48:36.320 --> 00:48:39.400 It's way easier to require people to just put a booksock like the kid. 710 00:48:39.440 --> 00:48:43.119 It's not like a fucking lock. They're able to take that off if they 711 00:48:43.119 --> 00:48:45.039 wanted to. If they really wanted to write on a book, they find 712 00:48:45.039 --> 00:48:46.519 a way, right. I just don't know what we're arguing about anymore. 713 00:48:47.159 --> 00:48:52.320 Why we were putting those fucking covers on books to protect the book. Moving 714 00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:57.719 on, Okay, I don't think those book paper book covers can protect them 715 00:48:57.719 --> 00:49:00.639 from the sea. Because Bailey, we're going to continue going on and everything 716 00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:04.559 you've listed here, I've been two months. I've been playing so many things. 717 00:49:04.920 --> 00:49:07.400 Yeah. I was actually the first honest game trailer of the year, 718 00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:10.400 was supposed to be Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, and then I became high key 719 00:49:10.440 --> 00:49:15.360 obsessed with Dave the Diver at the end of last year, like in the 720 00:49:15.440 --> 00:49:19.119 last few days of it, and then I was like, I'm playing this 721 00:49:19.239 --> 00:49:22.440 anyway, I might as well just start with this one, and so I 722 00:49:22.599 --> 00:49:25.000 did. I made the video game. I was addicted to be my work, 723 00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:28.679 and then I wrote a script about it and that cured me of my 724 00:49:28.760 --> 00:49:32.000 addiction. But I do want to finish it. I'm like a chapter from 725 00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:37.599 the end. Now, tea. It takes too long. I'm gonna put 726 00:49:37.639 --> 00:49:40.320 my foot down about that. It takes too long to pour the to pour 727 00:49:40.360 --> 00:49:45.800 the fucking tea. I always I hire someone who's capable of doing it for 728 00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:47.360 me because I don't want to do it. It feels good, like when 729 00:49:47.400 --> 00:49:50.760 you hire a bunch of bartenders and you're just kind of watching them like run 730 00:49:50.800 --> 00:49:52.440 around and do all this, like all right, yeah, you're doing a 731 00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:58.599 great job. Yeah. I liked getting to that point in Dave the Diver 732 00:49:58.719 --> 00:50:00.920 because then I was like, man, my man, Dave has been through 733 00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:04.800 some shit by this point. Yeah, sharks and stuff during the day, 734 00:50:04.880 --> 00:50:09.239 let him rest at night. Yeah, he is doing like a shark genocide 735 00:50:09.239 --> 00:50:14.119 out there. He's killing every shark he encounters. And he's like, I'm 736 00:50:14.239 --> 00:50:16.039 just a silly guy. My god, man, have you ever heard of 737 00:50:16.119 --> 00:50:21.800 conservationism? It's crazy out there. There are not that many sharks in the 738 00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:24.840 world. You shouldn't be so willy nilly about spearing them. That's my around 739 00:50:24.960 --> 00:50:30.039 with like electric harpoons and sniper ripers and stuff like you do have a very 740 00:50:30.039 --> 00:50:35.760 intense day job. He's like poisoning every fish he encounters and like leaving trails 741 00:50:35.760 --> 00:50:38.320 of poison in the ocean, which is fine. I guess. It's like 742 00:50:38.360 --> 00:50:42.920 in the last James Bond movie when they blew up the poison island in the 743 00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:47.000 middle of the ocean and they're like, this doesn't have rippling ramifications for ecosystem. 744 00:50:47.079 --> 00:50:52.639 We're good, Are I pay Daniel Craig or whatever? You can't die 745 00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:54.800 poison stuff down there? Yeah? Yeah, I think about it now, 746 00:50:54.840 --> 00:50:58.880 and then I think I got a little bit too excited about like doing chain 747 00:50:58.960 --> 00:51:02.360 lightning on fish. I love doing the chain lining on fish is the thing, 748 00:51:02.679 --> 00:51:07.280 but also Dave's right there. He shouldn't be electrocuting fish. That's science 749 00:51:09.920 --> 00:51:14.920 next to it. Yeah, pretty heavy arsenal for what he's doing, like 750 00:51:14.960 --> 00:51:19.639 getting fish for a sushi restaurant. Yes, uh, he takes. He 751 00:51:19.760 --> 00:51:27.960 takes supplying this restaurant with fish very seriously. Global warming is bad. If 752 00:51:27.960 --> 00:51:30.800 my boss is Boncho, I would take my job really seriously too. You 753 00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:37.159 know, he's Show's boss, it's his restaurant, and he gets Show. 754 00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:43.079 He gets catfished into managing it is the guy. I'd be intimidated by it, 755 00:51:43.119 --> 00:51:45.079 for sure. Boncho can only serve what I bring him. I'm the 756 00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:51.480 boss. It's gonna kill me if I don't bring enough. But it looked 757 00:51:51.519 --> 00:51:53.880 really cool in a nicely done and cut scene that game did. It was 758 00:51:54.039 --> 00:51:59.719 unexpected unexpectedly much longer than I thought it'd be. Damn little too long. 759 00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:01.679 Kind overstays the welcome a little bit, Like I love that game, but 760 00:52:02.039 --> 00:52:06.239 it does oversay the welcome a bit. Yeah. I like the initial loop 761 00:52:06.280 --> 00:52:08.800 that you fall into, but then they kept introducing more and more things. 762 00:52:09.239 --> 00:52:13.800 It was around the time that you're like doing the quest for the seahorse Land 763 00:52:13.840 --> 00:52:15.400 or whatever, and I'm like, Okay, all right, I think I 764 00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:19.440 see where this is going. He's going to keep going on. So did 765 00:52:19.480 --> 00:52:22.559 you at any point did you get to the point where you encounter the giant 766 00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:25.519 zombie mermaid. I don't know I got that far out. I guess not. 767 00:52:27.079 --> 00:52:30.880 No, there's a certain point when they introduced zombies in the undersea world 768 00:52:30.920 --> 00:52:35.000 and you can't kill them, they'll just eat you. And then there's like 769 00:52:35.039 --> 00:52:38.599 a giant one you have to escape from that is genuinely scary, and I'm 770 00:52:38.599 --> 00:52:40.559 like, why are we doing this? Two thirds of the way through the 771 00:52:40.599 --> 00:52:44.039 game. What are you doing? What are you doing? Dave? I 772 00:52:44.119 --> 00:52:45.519 was It kind of felt like every time I had a grasp of the game 773 00:52:45.519 --> 00:52:50.360 that sort of introduced a fun new concept mm hmm that it was pretty into. 774 00:52:50.760 --> 00:52:52.719 I was like, Oh, I keep mixing it up. That's cool. 775 00:52:52.800 --> 00:52:54.119 Honestly, I would have started it a lot sooner if someone I just 776 00:52:54.159 --> 00:52:58.840 told me there was a restaurant management component. No one felt the need to 777 00:52:58.840 --> 00:53:00.920 mention that. As soon as I got there, I felt betrayed by everyone 778 00:53:00.920 --> 00:53:05.199 who knows me. You didn't bother telling me about the restaurant management component. 779 00:53:05.440 --> 00:53:08.880 So it was the most fun part do the the undersea stuff so I can 780 00:53:08.920 --> 00:53:12.440 get to the restaurant stuff. Yeah, yes, exactly, because I don't 781 00:53:12.440 --> 00:53:15.400 want the restaurant to go out to business exactly. Yeah. I mean I 782 00:53:15.480 --> 00:53:17.559 keep a running list of how to betray my my close friends and peers. 783 00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:22.360 That's what you're known for. Jan. Let's see look what gets back. 784 00:53:22.360 --> 00:53:27.199 All are excited. Jan is like the Randy Orton Jan y Orton of Giant 785 00:53:27.199 --> 00:53:30.800 Bomb. Ye, we're all getting I understand that. I understand what you 786 00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:34.000 mean. Look at you back, Look look at the growth. Look at 787 00:53:34.039 --> 00:53:37.079 the growth, Bailey. One day you'll understand. Uh, folks, I 788 00:53:37.119 --> 00:53:43.639 never understand anything. For me. So far, I can relate. We've 789 00:53:43.639 --> 00:53:45.960 gone to the Let me see if this doesn't break my go excel Art. 790 00:53:46.800 --> 00:53:52.760 Game of the Week second eight, Dan, You and I were part of 791 00:53:52.760 --> 00:53:59.159 the participants in the Scrub League last week during the UPFFE and I you went 792 00:53:59.199 --> 00:54:05.280 like nine to oh mm hmm. And I took a bunch of losses and 793 00:54:05.360 --> 00:54:07.360 I was willing to accept that. And I think I took that over the 794 00:54:07.360 --> 00:54:12.440 weekend and played too much tech and eid. Dan, I don't think there's 795 00:54:12.440 --> 00:54:15.639 too much I found that with that game. I'll pick it up and be 796 00:54:15.679 --> 00:54:16.679 like oh, I've got, you know, twenty minutes here I could play 797 00:54:16.719 --> 00:54:20.360 and then like I get wrapped up some story mode thing or it's like, 798 00:54:20.360 --> 00:54:22.119 oh okay, I got to clear this area and the Avatar quest thing or 799 00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:24.960 something, and I just want to keep going. It is even if you're 800 00:54:25.000 --> 00:54:28.719 just like, you know, maning one character, like I'm almost always playing 801 00:54:28.719 --> 00:54:32.039 as Asusana and I'm just never like I've dabbled with others. But it's just 802 00:54:32.039 --> 00:54:35.599 like it is really rewarding to just learn more and more about like oh, 803 00:54:35.599 --> 00:54:37.440 I didn't realize about you know, that combo or this kick or whatever. 804 00:54:37.559 --> 00:54:42.960 Like it just seems so so deep and it's a game that knows how good 805 00:54:43.000 --> 00:54:45.800 it is. There's just a confidence in the presentation of that game that I 806 00:54:45.880 --> 00:54:50.480 love, and as a single player fighting game fan, someone who never wants 807 00:54:50.559 --> 00:54:53.360 to go online and get super competitive Ebo style or whatever, the fact that 808 00:54:53.360 --> 00:54:58.360 it has so much single player content, like not just the like Beef story 809 00:54:58.360 --> 00:55:01.159 mode and the Avatar Quest mode, but also every character has their like five 810 00:55:01.199 --> 00:55:06.239 fight ladder with their own ending, so like there is anytime I put it 811 00:55:06.280 --> 00:55:07.400 up, I don't even know where I'm going to go. It's like I 812 00:55:07.400 --> 00:55:09.960 know I'm going to find something fun to do across all these different modes. 813 00:55:10.559 --> 00:55:15.400 I think a great evolution of fighting games in the past couple of years is 814 00:55:15.559 --> 00:55:20.519 the training modes have been exponentially better game after game, and second eight specifically 815 00:55:20.760 --> 00:55:23.400 just has it, for whatever reason, for me, a more approachable and 816 00:55:23.440 --> 00:55:29.599 digestible one. I wound up really really liking, Uh, what's the what's 817 00:55:29.599 --> 00:55:34.039 the Leopard's King? King? Yeah, just like, oh shit, this 818 00:55:34.159 --> 00:55:37.320 dude is sick as fuck. Do you know who did the MO cap for 819 00:55:37.400 --> 00:55:40.119 him in the first second? The first second, I believe it's the person 820 00:55:40.159 --> 00:55:45.480 it was like the early ones. No, Minora Suzuki. Holy shit, 821 00:55:45.239 --> 00:55:49.920 that makes them even cooler. Did all the mo cap for King Bailey. 822 00:55:50.000 --> 00:55:53.280 You'll know Minora Suzuki. He's the cool murdered death grandpa that chops you until 823 00:55:53.280 --> 00:56:00.760 your chest bleeds. Oh yeah that's good. Yeah, yeah he's And I've 824 00:56:00.960 --> 00:56:05.639 you know, despite thinking I've learned a bunch through training and then doing like 825 00:56:05.760 --> 00:56:09.199 Dan, like you said, the individual character story bits. Yeah, I'm 826 00:56:09.199 --> 00:56:15.199 still absolutely garbage when I go online, but I'm having fun. Like I'll 827 00:56:15.199 --> 00:56:17.320 get around in on someone and think like, Okay, cool, cool, 828 00:56:17.360 --> 00:56:21.639 cool cool. I think I understand why people like fighting games because I am, 829 00:56:21.880 --> 00:56:25.079 as they say, downloading the the information against the opponent. Now, 830 00:56:25.639 --> 00:56:30.119 what does that mean? That you learn like their their habits and like what 831 00:56:30.199 --> 00:56:34.119 they will generally tend to do. It's the way like a ghost spider, 832 00:56:34.440 --> 00:56:37.039 like, I go, yeah, I will like learn your I did not 833 00:56:37.199 --> 00:56:39.960 try to. I was hoping it did the like dry guitar thing like fortso 834 00:56:40.039 --> 00:56:44.000 where it's like it'll take the way you play and like make it show up 835 00:56:44.039 --> 00:56:47.400 in your friends games. So I went into that ghost training mode as Azusaina, 836 00:56:47.599 --> 00:56:52.360 and I made a point to only do that annoying side flipp thing over 837 00:56:52.440 --> 00:56:54.679 and over in the hopes that it would pop up in my friends games and 838 00:56:54.760 --> 00:56:58.719 just backlip them into oblivion and annoy the shit out of them. But I 839 00:56:58.719 --> 00:57:00.599 don't think that's how it works. I don't think it shows up in other 840 00:57:00.599 --> 00:57:02.599 people's games. Well that's a bummer. So it just happened against me when 841 00:57:02.599 --> 00:57:07.039 I fought my own ghost basically, so I just fucked with myself. I 842 00:57:07.039 --> 00:57:09.880 guess, uh, but did you fucking nailed it? This game has like 843 00:57:09.920 --> 00:57:15.559 a uh interesting confidence to it that's like I don't think I even felt that 844 00:57:15.920 --> 00:57:20.559 in last year's Mortal Kombat. Like I feel like Mortal Kombat just like came 845 00:57:20.920 --> 00:57:22.599 and I was like, yeah, we're a good one of these. We're 846 00:57:22.639 --> 00:57:24.719 resetting the story. Uh Street Fir six. I didn't really get to check 847 00:57:24.719 --> 00:57:28.880 out too much, but like Tech and Age just coming in, It's like, 848 00:57:29.079 --> 00:57:30.599 we know, you fuckers like us, what's good, We're here, 849 00:57:30.800 --> 00:57:35.639 We're a great fucking game. Harada is sick of shit. I mean everything 850 00:57:35.679 --> 00:57:38.199 from the the reveal trailer to that like really fun like Brian Cox thing they 851 00:57:38.239 --> 00:57:43.360 did, Like every it seems like everyone working on this game, from marketing 852 00:57:43.480 --> 00:57:45.280 to like the fighting system is just like, yeah, we know, we're 853 00:57:45.320 --> 00:57:49.840 like doing the best workout there. Like it is. You know, I'm 854 00:57:49.880 --> 00:57:52.119 not enough of a fighting game fan to say whether it's you know, it's 855 00:57:52.159 --> 00:57:53.880 better than the Street Fighter or six or anything like that, because I didn't 856 00:57:53.880 --> 00:57:55.960 get to play a lot of six. I was moving when that came out. 857 00:57:57.239 --> 00:57:59.559 I'm sure it's incredible. I've heard it's great, But for me, 858 00:57:59.639 --> 00:58:01.199 I don't know. I'm so much more drawn to like the tech and world 859 00:58:01.239 --> 00:58:07.000 and those characters in that tone and goddamnit, Phism like right up there with 860 00:58:07.079 --> 00:58:09.000 the best best, not just you know, teching games, so just fighting 861 00:58:09.000 --> 00:58:12.400 games I've ever played. It's nice to see you like something, Dan, 862 00:58:12.719 --> 00:58:15.559 Yeah, yeah, common Yeah it feels good. Yeah, it feels good. 863 00:58:15.599 --> 00:58:20.239 Thank you, yes back. I think I'm going to say that maybe 864 00:58:20.360 --> 00:58:23.360 you know, GB had like the was pulling the phantom threads here because the 865 00:58:23.480 --> 00:58:29.920 story mode for the individual characters has gone back to being super dumb and fun. 866 00:58:30.519 --> 00:58:32.559 Okay, so now I'm on board. I mean now I'm back on 867 00:58:32.639 --> 00:58:37.079 board. You look like I played Street Fighter, I played Mortal Kombat. 868 00:58:38.400 --> 00:58:42.159 I'm just you know, fighting like I kind of just a wave of goodbye 869 00:58:42.159 --> 00:58:45.280 to fighting. I just don't find joy in like the gameplay as much as 870 00:58:45.280 --> 00:58:50.079 I used to. But I will absolutely when we can, when enough time 871 00:58:50.119 --> 00:58:52.880 has passed. Like I would love to do a whole download of like all 872 00:58:52.960 --> 00:58:57.239 the stories. I want to see you know, who's on a rocket shift 873 00:58:57.360 --> 00:59:01.440 into the lots of the sun and volcano people and like all this stuff. 874 00:59:01.960 --> 00:59:06.719 That shit is so unhinged and insane. I can't wait. Jane, did 875 00:59:06.719 --> 00:59:08.840 he beat because he his story? No? No, I've been going for 876 00:59:08.880 --> 00:59:14.239 all the I haven't done any of the Mishima family yet. I've just been 877 00:59:14.280 --> 00:59:19.559 going for the weirdos nice good one. Steve Foxes is weird that one? 878 00:59:19.639 --> 00:59:23.599 Yet? Yeah? God, yeah, Backler, I think I think you 879 00:59:23.679 --> 00:59:28.719 might like this. Like I I tried turning on like the more approachable control 880 00:59:28.760 --> 00:59:30.880 system for a little bit and was having a decent time. Uh do you 881 00:59:30.920 --> 00:59:35.039 think you think DIB has any interest at all in fighting games? Do you 882 00:59:35.159 --> 00:59:37.079 think they got they got a little baby mode? No? No, no, 883 00:59:37.119 --> 00:59:39.840 something more approachable for people. So I thought like, oh, maybe 884 00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:45.719 DIB would like like dipping his toes and that and then maybe so Dib was 885 00:59:45.239 --> 00:59:51.480 absolutely enchanted by uh street Fighter six, Like I think he didn't get he 886 00:59:51.480 --> 00:59:54.519 didn't see MK one for reasons that are understandable. Uh oh, I ever 887 00:59:54.559 --> 00:59:59.559 want except for Dan, but yeah, like one hundred percent. He was 888 00:59:59.639 --> 01:00:04.360 just like, what is this amazing thing? What is this genre of gaming? 889 01:00:04.400 --> 01:00:06.920 I've never seen? Like, what are these people doing to each other? 890 01:00:07.079 --> 01:00:09.599 And I think tech and is like just as sort of PG, you 891 01:00:09.599 --> 01:00:13.480 know, thirteen rated as as Street Fighter is, right, Like, it's 892 01:00:13.480 --> 01:00:16.400 not like gory right now, I never children in the volcanoes, but it's 893 01:00:16.440 --> 01:00:20.599 not bloody. You know, he'll laugh at that. That's that's perfectly fine. 894 01:00:20.599 --> 01:00:23.559 That'll pass through the film. Yeah, it's just like a man with 895 01:00:23.599 --> 01:00:28.960 a tiger head, Like fine, shoot tiger head. It's like it's a 896 01:00:29.360 --> 01:00:31.880 it's gimmicked. It's like a loutant No, that's that's no, he's not 897 01:00:31.920 --> 01:00:36.239 a tiger now. I believe him to be a tiger person. It's funnier 898 01:00:36.239 --> 01:00:38.280 if you think that way. Yeah, yeah, exactly, Like what if 899 01:00:38.280 --> 01:00:43.119 we're not having fun? What are we doing? No? Uh yeah, 900 01:00:43.440 --> 01:00:45.159 I for that reason, I would maybe introduce him to that. It's so 901 01:00:45.199 --> 01:00:50.599 insane. I think like maybe some of the cut scenes are probably inappropriate, 902 01:00:50.639 --> 01:00:54.000 but like all in all, okay, from like yesterday year, I remember 903 01:00:54.079 --> 01:01:00.800 there's like people getting blown up and maybe that's upsetting, but but yeah, 904 01:01:00.400 --> 01:01:04.599 I'm excited to see it. I think like he you know, he played 905 01:01:04.639 --> 01:01:07.159 street I was playing on PC, so he played at a Bongeni was sort 906 01:01:07.159 --> 01:01:08.159 of just like, oh, I'm just button mashing but having fun. And 907 01:01:08.199 --> 01:01:12.239 it's very stylistic and there's a lot of things that eye candy wise, did 908 01:01:12.280 --> 01:01:16.199 you really like get in touch with and if this is easier accessibility wise, 909 01:01:16.280 --> 01:01:19.920 like yeah, maybe maybe maybe we'll do this. Maybe there will be a 910 01:01:19.920 --> 01:01:22.440 sleeperhead of twenty four. Who knows it is one of those games where, 911 01:01:22.480 --> 01:01:25.519 like, I can't imagine anyone looking at it and not being blown away by 912 01:01:25.559 --> 01:01:29.079 just how it looks. Like someone that's never seen a video game before, 913 01:01:29.280 --> 01:01:31.559 or a passing interest or whatever, like just walking through has to be like, 914 01:01:31.599 --> 01:01:35.599 holy shit, look at that, Like it just looks incredible visually. 915 01:01:35.679 --> 01:01:39.320 Yeah, barely any interest at all in becoming the King of the arn Fist. 916 01:01:39.880 --> 01:01:44.159 My major problem isn't bad at fighting games. And I've tried so hard 917 01:01:44.159 --> 01:01:45.400 to be good at fighting games. I went so far as to work at 918 01:01:45.400 --> 01:01:51.280 a fighting game company for a year. I tried my best, the best, 919 01:01:51.320 --> 01:01:53.199 some of the best fighting game players out there tried to teach me how 920 01:01:53.199 --> 01:01:57.679 to play fighting games, and my fingies won't do it. So I really 921 01:01:57.840 --> 01:02:00.159 I support people who have fun with them. I had a great time with 922 01:02:00.159 --> 01:02:02.840 the single player mode and Street Fighter six because I didn't have to use my 923 01:02:02.880 --> 01:02:07.039 skills against any real person. But if it's like a real fighting game that 924 01:02:07.119 --> 01:02:10.840 real people are really playing, I don't think I'm going to be able to 925 01:02:10.480 --> 01:02:14.920 to throw my hat in the ring there. I mean, I don't ever 926 01:02:14.960 --> 01:02:16.320 play against real people. The only time I did it was that one stream 927 01:02:16.360 --> 01:02:20.360 we did and I've just been doing single player stuff and it's fun as well. 928 01:02:20.920 --> 01:02:24.719 I simply, I simply hate being bad at something so relentlessly it gets 929 01:02:24.719 --> 01:02:31.000 frustrating after a while. I did get that a bed. Every day I've 930 01:02:31.079 --> 01:02:35.320 tried. I've tried so hard. I did really like Street Fighter six, 931 01:02:35.400 --> 01:02:38.440 I did, but I was not good at it the second I like, 932 01:02:38.519 --> 01:02:44.000 I think we were at like it was I think Summer Games Fest, and 933 01:02:44.039 --> 01:02:45.719 like we were. We had it in the other room with like fight sticks 934 01:02:45.719 --> 01:02:49.679 and stuff, and Kurt was like, no, no, no, I'm 935 01:02:49.679 --> 01:02:52.239 not that great either. It'll be fine. Kicked my ass like so many 936 01:02:52.280 --> 01:02:54.920 different times, and I was like, I think I'm actually really bad at 937 01:02:54.920 --> 01:02:58.400 this game. I don't think I have a I don't think I have a 938 01:02:58.440 --> 01:03:00.880 shot here. I think I should just sort of throw in the towel with 939 01:03:00.920 --> 01:03:04.840 regards to fighting games and focus on stuff that brings me more joy in victory, 940 01:03:05.639 --> 01:03:09.239 like piloting big blue people to connect with the world. And yeah, 941 01:03:09.320 --> 01:03:12.840 you can find things right into the side of a mountain. If you're not 942 01:03:12.840 --> 01:03:20.800 paying attention, they get hurt fall damaged. Oh they should add nav to 943 01:03:20.800 --> 01:03:24.679 tech and eight huh no, no, nine feet tall. That would be 944 01:03:24.719 --> 01:03:36.400 crazy they have. There's extremely outlandish techn characters. Maybe they are alive alive 945 01:03:37.320 --> 01:03:43.119 in there or some spartan Yeah, an v costume in a nave nov who 946 01:03:43.159 --> 01:03:45.599 cares doesn't matter. A costume in Call of Duty would be so funny though. 947 01:03:45.880 --> 01:03:52.360 Actually though, the character customization in Tech and eight absolutely insane. Some 948 01:03:52.559 --> 01:03:55.320 reations. Yeah, oh that's good, very silly. Yeah. I was 949 01:03:55.400 --> 01:04:00.000 confused as to why, Like when Mike rolled up and he he had his 950 01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:02.920 character dressed up as Ashley from Ari four, I was like, that's a 951 01:04:02.960 --> 01:04:06.960 weird choice for DLC. Is too early for DLC. And then it was 952 01:04:08.000 --> 01:04:10.679 like, oh I made this. I'm like, oh, okay, all 953 01:04:10.760 --> 01:04:14.239 right, And then some people have just been making some Wow, I'm sure 954 01:04:14.280 --> 01:04:16.800 he made that. Hey a Namco. They put John Cena in Mortal Kombat. 955 01:04:16.960 --> 01:04:20.800 John Cena would fit really well in Teken. Yeah. They put John 956 01:04:20.840 --> 01:04:25.840 Cena and Barbie for christ Johnson and everything. Yeah, I'm fine with that. 957 01:04:25.960 --> 01:04:29.920 He's a good egg, right, Yeah, weird one really like him. 958 01:04:30.039 --> 01:04:31.559 You like to be a peacemaker. Yeah, he didn't just put it 959 01:04:31.599 --> 01:04:36.159 in that he was the star of it. Is that John Cena run for 960 01:04:36.239 --> 01:04:41.280 president? He would win. He would definitely win. No, I think 961 01:04:41.280 --> 01:04:45.719 at this point we should just stop letting actors be president. I think, 962 01:04:45.760 --> 01:04:48.719 you know, we tried it a couple of times. It's a hot essay. 963 01:04:48.960 --> 01:04:53.760 It went on this podcast in particular, But like, what if he 964 01:04:53.760 --> 01:04:58.559 didn't run as an actor, he ran universally beloved, he ran as a 965 01:04:58.639 --> 01:05:00.800 wrestler. Now there's a thoughts. See, that's what Reagan should have done. 966 01:05:00.840 --> 01:05:08.920 I can't imagine there's anything problematic about wrestlers. No, anything problematic is 967 01:05:08.920 --> 01:05:12.119 the world of wrestling. No, but that's his storyline. I'm on this 968 01:05:12.199 --> 01:05:15.280 kick lately because I also think Taylor should run for president, but I think 969 01:05:15.320 --> 01:05:19.119 like she would win to I know, I just think, like, uh, 970 01:05:19.719 --> 01:05:24.000 that's John Cena's story, right, Like John Cena made it out of 971 01:05:24.159 --> 01:05:28.760 w W normal, you know, like I mean Rock kind of like paved 972 01:05:28.800 --> 01:05:33.880 the way for two guys are normal, and I'll try the movie thing and 973 01:05:33.880 --> 01:05:38.320 it worked for two guys three Batista three, thank you, Thank you? 974 01:05:38.559 --> 01:05:41.880 Patisa is normal to all right, there's a mount Rush Moore of normal w 975 01:05:41.880 --> 01:05:48.719 W people. Three people. We just need one more Nickley normal Bully by 976 01:05:48.840 --> 01:05:58.480 that those standards normal necessarily normal in the ways we need him normal voice actor 977 01:05:58.960 --> 01:06:02.559 Iba, who is a japan news wrestler before it before getting into the anime 978 01:06:02.679 --> 01:06:06.920 voice acting game. Oh she should count, she's great her in there. 979 01:06:08.000 --> 01:06:12.559 Yeah yeah, let's throw her in back. Mick Pulley wears Christmas and Santa 980 01:06:12.639 --> 01:06:15.639 stuff like three hundred and sixty five days a year. I think that was 981 01:06:15.760 --> 01:06:20.679 qualifies from like just straight up Christmas attire in like may did I even flinch? 982 01:06:21.280 --> 01:06:24.719 I mean, it's not like there's way worse. There's way worse with 983 01:06:24.760 --> 01:06:30.360 ex wrestlers, but I'm an average guy. I fucking love it. Look 984 01:06:30.400 --> 01:06:32.920 again, we have to understand the source. We have to consider the source, 985 01:06:33.039 --> 01:06:36.280 right, yes, yes, yes, yes, normal. Uh. 986 01:06:36.440 --> 01:06:40.880 The last thing I'll say about Teck and eight is that there are an obscene 987 01:06:40.880 --> 01:06:45.000 amount of characters in this, Like Bailey, if you ever wanted to just 988 01:06:45.039 --> 01:06:49.079 like go down the line and just like go through every individual fighter's story, 989 01:06:49.559 --> 01:06:54.280 even though it's just like about five fights per character, right Dan, Yeah, 990 01:06:54.360 --> 01:06:57.280 yeah, yeah, for the character things, Yeah, yeah, I 991 01:06:57.280 --> 01:07:00.559 think you could have like eight thirty two characters. Jesus, you could have 992 01:07:00.639 --> 01:07:05.119 a decent time just doing that and seeing the fun shenanigans that pop off from 993 01:07:05.119 --> 01:07:09.559 that, and hey, maybe soon we'll have some more Ticket eight on the 994 01:07:09.559 --> 01:07:13.079 website. Maybe we'll throw it down on a Thursday with the community, and 995 01:07:13.159 --> 01:07:16.679 perhaps maybe eventually we will rank all of those endings. That's gonna be a 996 01:07:16.679 --> 01:07:23.000 long stream, Jesus. This is just one game, yeah, against all 997 01:07:23.000 --> 01:07:26.119 the other ones, and try to remember them people of the old sheet. 998 01:07:26.920 --> 01:07:30.800 Yes, yes, yeah, yeah, let's do that. Let's do that. 999 01:07:31.119 --> 01:07:35.000 Yeah, folks, we'll be back with the news. I'm gonna go 1000 01:07:35.039 --> 01:07:39.639 switch hats and put on my news hat right after a quick freaky break. 1001 01:07:42.519 --> 01:07:45.719 I'm I'm terrified of the news. I'm terrified of the news. I don't 1002 01:07:45.760 --> 01:07:47.519 know how to do it. Anytime Jeff Grubb is out, I'm filled with 1003 01:07:47.559 --> 01:07:50.840 so much anxiety because I don't know how to do the news. So I 1004 01:07:50.920 --> 01:07:55.559 just try and copy what I see him do in this word doc. Every 1005 01:07:55.599 --> 01:08:00.880 week, I'll take a headline and then I'll take three or four bullet points 1006 01:08:00.079 --> 01:08:03.280 and do that. We're gonna get through the news, folks. I do 1007 01:08:03.360 --> 01:08:08.039 think Tom Brokaw started every segment exactly like this, so you're off to a 1008 01:08:08.119 --> 01:08:12.320 great start, yea, and broke out like Grub also orders door dash sheets, 1009 01:08:12.480 --> 01:08:15.400 you know from the gas stations, so every time. So get that 1010 01:08:15.480 --> 01:08:19.079 in. I gu you know, Tom could have been like going knots on 1011 01:08:19.079 --> 01:08:24.840 on Big Max in backstage. You don't know that is he dead Tom Broke, 1012 01:08:24.920 --> 01:08:27.600 I don't know. I bet he's old, right, let me see, 1013 01:08:27.720 --> 01:08:31.720 No, he's not dead. Thinking of like Peter Jim Peter Jennings. 1014 01:08:31.920 --> 01:08:36.800 I don't know how to spell Brokaw eighty brocaus alive baby. I only know 1015 01:08:38.079 --> 01:08:41.079 like these like famous news guys mostly from like whoever in person of them on 1016 01:08:41.199 --> 01:08:44.159 SNL. So I just remember like day in a car, but Gerald Ford 1017 01:08:44.239 --> 01:08:46.600 died today, Like that's the only like Tom Broker I know. Oh my 1018 01:08:46.600 --> 01:08:53.319 god, that one is like former prisident Gerald Ford are talked by waves bits 1019 01:08:53.319 --> 01:08:56.920 by the propeller of a plane. Yeah, I did. That's someone that 1020 01:08:56.960 --> 01:08:59.920 doesn't know who Tom Brokaw is. I know the name, but like I 1021 01:09:00.000 --> 01:09:01.760 I'm just gonna nod politely, nod my head. And it sounds like both 1022 01:09:01.800 --> 01:09:08.680 of you are doing very good imitations, just like uh other impressions I've heard 1023 01:09:08.720 --> 01:09:13.600 of him, oh from like the spy Box games. But was he doing 1024 01:09:13.720 --> 01:09:16.319 he was doing Tom Brokaw right, I believe so, Yeah, Dana Cary 1025 01:09:16.399 --> 01:09:18.760 doing Tom broke. I think so because he was going on vacation and he 1026 01:09:18.760 --> 01:09:21.439 wanted to get a bunch of stuff in the can and they're just getting everything 1027 01:09:21.439 --> 01:09:29.840 in the can. Uh, God fucking awesome. This this is news. 1028 01:09:29.840 --> 01:09:31.399 But anytime I meet someone new in this building, they asked like, oh, 1029 01:09:31.439 --> 01:09:33.439 what do you do if you don't know? Blah blah blah blah. 1030 01:09:33.439 --> 01:09:40.359 I'm like, bro compressions. I don't know who is though I'm live. 1031 01:09:40.479 --> 01:09:44.239 We know that let's get Tom Broka on the show, should we No, 1032 01:09:44.439 --> 01:09:50.439 I don't know. I think he'd dump trucks go too. You don't need 1033 01:09:50.479 --> 01:09:55.039 to know anything about anything to be on a dump truck. Yeah, I 1034 01:09:55.079 --> 01:10:00.000 love it to speak. Uh, you know, he can join the illustrious 1035 01:10:00.279 --> 01:10:03.319 the guest list that we've had on the dump truck like Jared. Yes, 1036 01:10:09.039 --> 01:10:12.920 all right. First news story, big news story, also a bummer. 1037 01:10:14.239 --> 01:10:16.600 Oh what I was saying? I introduced myself now because of dibb as a 1038 01:10:16.600 --> 01:10:20.520 bad YouTuber to people. They and I just don't continue on talking about it 1039 01:10:20.960 --> 01:10:27.159 anyway. A big news story that broke last week is Microsoft is cutting nineteen 1040 01:10:27.239 --> 01:10:31.079 hundred staff jobs across Xbox, Bethesda, in activision, Blizzard, Grub and 1041 01:10:31.159 --> 01:10:35.560 I talked at length about this last week on Game mess Mornings. Phil Spencer's 1042 01:10:35.640 --> 01:10:41.439 quoted as saying this was a painful decision, and in a quote obtained from 1043 01:10:41.479 --> 01:10:46.520 IGN, Phil Spencer continued that Microsoft will be offering giving full support to those 1044 01:10:46.720 --> 01:10:53.039 who are impacted during this transition, including severance benefits informed by local employment laws. 1045 01:10:53.720 --> 01:10:58.199 Specifically if you are a citizen of California, those laws are a little 1046 01:10:58.199 --> 01:11:02.800 bit more generous for the employee guys. I don't know what to say about 1047 01:11:03.039 --> 01:11:10.119 this. I hate that this is one of several news stories of folks getting 1048 01:11:10.159 --> 01:11:14.640 laid off from their jobs and just having no general control over any of it 1049 01:11:14.720 --> 01:11:16.560 happening, and a lot of them being blindsided. I know the day that 1050 01:11:16.600 --> 01:11:21.680 it was happening, Jason Schreyer was tweeting that several Microsoft employees were reaching out 1051 01:11:21.720 --> 01:11:26.159 to him and his DMS asking like, Hey, do you know if I 1052 01:11:26.239 --> 01:11:30.159 got laid off? Oh shit? And you know, this is already a 1053 01:11:30.199 --> 01:11:33.279 tumultuous industry both sides of the fence, right, and to be in that 1054 01:11:33.319 --> 01:11:38.520 position where you know a lot of these people may have had to uproot their 1055 01:11:38.560 --> 01:11:43.000 lives, move to specific locations for their jobs, et cetera, and are 1056 01:11:43.039 --> 01:11:46.640 now caught in a part an unfamiliar part of the country or the world where 1057 01:11:46.640 --> 01:11:51.560 they are now suddenly jobless and now hunting for jobs in a very, very 1058 01:11:51.600 --> 01:11:57.039 busy market because of all of the other layoffs across not only the video game 1059 01:11:57.039 --> 01:12:01.760 industry, but the tech industry as well. Alongside this, Mike Ibarra, 1060 01:12:02.199 --> 01:12:05.319 president of Blizzard, has the part of the company you did not get laid 1061 01:12:05.319 --> 01:12:09.920 off. He chose to leave on his own accord, and in turn, 1062 01:12:10.000 --> 01:12:15.479 because of the layoffs cross Microsoft, Blizzard's survival game that they've been working on 1063 01:12:15.560 --> 01:12:20.159 for about two to three years has also been scrapped. Bailey, I'm sorry 1064 01:12:20.199 --> 01:12:25.000 that we have you on the podcast. Whenever we talk about massive layoffs and 1065 01:12:25.039 --> 01:12:28.680 everything, my opinion is the same every time, So it really does make 1066 01:12:28.720 --> 01:12:30.640 it make it a lot easy for me. I don't have to come up 1067 01:12:30.640 --> 01:12:32.680 with a fresh one each each time. I just have to keep saying, 1068 01:12:32.760 --> 01:12:40.399 like h capitalism is a cancer on society, and it's the it's the little 1069 01:12:40.439 --> 01:12:44.279 guy who keeps getting hurt while the corporate big wigs sit in their offices doing 1070 01:12:44.399 --> 01:12:46.720 fine, never taking pay cuts, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. 1071 01:12:48.520 --> 01:12:55.600 How sad they are to have done that as someone that doesn't know a 1072 01:12:55.600 --> 01:13:00.760 lot about game dev or economics as a whole. And my bank account will 1073 01:13:00.760 --> 01:13:05.600 tell you that both stories. Actually, I don't understand how a company becomes 1074 01:13:05.640 --> 01:13:10.880 a three trillion dollar company, and I can't, off the top of my 1075 01:13:10.920 --> 01:13:14.640 head tell you how many zeros that is because I can't fathom that number of 1076 01:13:14.720 --> 01:13:17.000 trillion a lot. Well, you do that is by stealing labor from your 1077 01:13:17.000 --> 01:13:23.960 employees, actually, Jan dam, But yeah, how do you do that 1078 01:13:24.039 --> 01:13:28.640 and close a sixty nine was it billion or million dollar deal to acquire billion 1079 01:13:29.119 --> 01:13:32.680 it's billion billion? Well, that makes it even worse that you can't perhaps 1080 01:13:33.039 --> 01:13:40.039 cover nineteen roughly nineteen hundred salaries for the people to actually make the games for 1081 01:13:40.279 --> 01:13:46.000 you. But the wild thing is, I believe romy was a tweeting about 1082 01:13:46.000 --> 01:13:54.880 this on Twitter that we've already gone over half of the total layoffs from twenty 1083 01:13:54.920 --> 01:13:58.359 twenty three. I believe in twenty twenty three it was looking at stories today, 1084 01:13:58.840 --> 01:14:02.640 we approximately got close to, if not past, nine thousand folks unfortunately 1085 01:14:02.640 --> 01:14:08.479 getting laid off and losing their jobs in the gaming industry specifically, And now 1086 01:14:08.479 --> 01:14:14.640 we're around five thousand, with more studios by the day, by the week. 1087 01:14:15.000 --> 01:14:24.000 Uh, laying off employees. Yeah, it's it's really fucking miserable no 1088 01:14:24.039 --> 01:14:28.600 matter which way you slice it. I'm kind of at the point. Well 1089 01:14:28.640 --> 01:14:30.640 I am at the point now. And obviously, like I'm always the first 1090 01:14:30.720 --> 01:14:36.680 to blame you know, our you know, our version of capitalism run amok. 1091 01:14:36.760 --> 01:14:43.199 Right, of course, I also want to I want to understand. 1092 01:14:43.239 --> 01:14:48.720 I want someone to start really like doing the math and and you know, 1093 01:14:48.880 --> 01:14:53.920 giving or at least trying to like understand like what exactly else is going on 1094 01:14:54.000 --> 01:14:56.960 here. I forget where we were talking. Maybe it was last week's show, 1095 01:14:57.279 --> 01:15:00.000 because every show now is going to be about uh, you know, 1096 01:15:00.119 --> 01:15:03.960 tech companies and publishers laying people off, right, Like that's it's just gonna 1097 01:15:04.000 --> 01:15:09.600 seems like that's what it's gonna be like indefinitely. But I do want to 1098 01:15:09.680 --> 01:15:15.720 understand, like like some sort of other economic explanation for like what is actually 1099 01:15:15.720 --> 01:15:19.640 happening. Because we talked about how like unemployment in the country is that is 1100 01:15:19.640 --> 01:15:23.640 that historic lows? Right? And oh I think someone was asking like why 1101 01:15:23.680 --> 01:15:27.000 does this not make bigger help? I think I was asking that last week? 1102 01:15:27.079 --> 01:15:29.439 Yeah, right, and my And one of the things that I posited 1103 01:15:29.600 --> 01:15:32.359 was like, oh, maybe it's because like you know, it's uh, 1104 01:15:32.399 --> 01:15:41.079 we we do have historical low unemployment rates outside of course of our very damaged 1105 01:15:41.199 --> 01:15:46.079 section of the labor force. Approaching this particular sector, it seems like fucking 1106 01:15:46.119 --> 01:15:48.960 insane, right, So I don't know, I just want some I want 1107 01:15:49.520 --> 01:15:53.880 someone trustworthy to do the to do the math and like come up with a 1108 01:15:53.960 --> 01:15:57.359 thesis, come up with something like what do you like, what is it? 1109 01:15:57.439 --> 01:16:00.159 I know it's not going to fix it. I think I just want 1110 01:16:00.199 --> 01:16:03.439 to know what is it? And I and I would imagine it's a combination 1111 01:16:03.520 --> 01:16:08.279 of many different things, you know. I don't know if this is like 1112 01:16:09.520 --> 01:16:14.600 again all theory, right, Like is this some sort of correction from an 1113 01:16:14.640 --> 01:16:17.720 overhiring from COVID? Is it just plain old you know, the bullshit that 1114 01:16:17.800 --> 01:16:23.680 we always talk about with you know, doing more with less and endless unrealistic 1115 01:16:23.720 --> 01:16:29.600 growth expectations and revenue goals and whatnot, Like like what are we doing? 1116 01:16:30.439 --> 01:16:34.039 And because again, we can't go on like this, this is not okay, 1117 01:16:34.439 --> 01:16:38.560 And you know, organizing helps, but it doesn't fix it. No, 1118 01:16:38.840 --> 01:16:41.800 they or had a surge of power during the pandemic, especially in this 1119 01:16:41.840 --> 01:16:46.520 particular sector. Corporate greed is a critical part of this. They also really 1120 01:16:46.560 --> 01:16:49.159 want to put workers back in their place and let them know that they don't 1121 01:16:49.159 --> 01:16:53.520 have the power. Actually, they can lose their livelihoods at any given moment 1122 01:16:53.600 --> 01:16:57.159 for any reason, regardless of how good they did or how many great games 1123 01:16:57.199 --> 01:17:00.640 they made. They merge all the companies together and then fire thousands of people 1124 01:17:00.680 --> 01:17:05.600 because of redundancies, when in fact they are just buying and gutting the competition, 1125 01:17:08.279 --> 01:17:13.600 displacing fourteen thousand total people back into the industry, ensuring that no one 1126 01:17:13.760 --> 01:17:19.239 new can ever possibly break in, and removing a lot of the diversity that 1127 01:17:19.279 --> 01:17:23.399 we've seen come into the industry because a lot of the people that got laid 1128 01:17:23.399 --> 01:17:26.319 off for some of the newer people. And unfortunately that means you're seeing women 1129 01:17:26.319 --> 01:17:30.239 of color and people of color, women, etc. You know, not 1130 01:17:30.359 --> 01:17:34.119 the traditional not to make it about identity, but like this is an unfortunate 1131 01:17:34.119 --> 01:17:36.560 side effect of when you lay off people who are new to the industry. 1132 01:17:36.560 --> 01:17:40.199 A lot of people who are new to the industry are people who have benefited 1133 01:17:40.199 --> 01:17:47.000 from recent DEI initiatives, and so you're seeing a huge step backwards in what's 1134 01:17:47.000 --> 01:17:54.880 in the workforce, and it's depressing as fuck. It's just devastating to witness. 1135 01:17:54.960 --> 01:17:59.800 Like my entire timeline on Twitter is just people being like, I don't 1136 01:17:59.800 --> 01:18:03.199 know to do now? These are my skills. No one is hiring because 1137 01:18:03.319 --> 01:18:09.520 everyone is getting laid off and it's awful. It's just it's miserable. It's 1138 01:18:09.560 --> 01:18:13.520 depressing, and there's nothing we can do about it because the corporations are never 1139 01:18:13.560 --> 01:18:17.000 going to stop being greedy and the government is not going to come in with 1140 01:18:17.159 --> 01:18:21.560 new like anti trust laws in order to put a stop to this. It's 1141 01:18:21.359 --> 01:18:26.159 it's it's fucked up, and it's bullshit and it makes me mad. The 1142 01:18:26.680 --> 01:18:30.640 other part that's especially maddening is the I don't know, yeah, and I 1143 01:18:30.640 --> 01:18:34.920 will say all informed, maybe dumb ass parts of the internet that are celebrating 1144 01:18:35.000 --> 01:18:40.000 some of these layoffs. I know we saw some of that with people celebrating 1145 01:18:40.039 --> 01:18:44.600 people getting laid off from desks or bungee because of just not liking how destiny 1146 01:18:44.680 --> 01:18:45.479 is going. It's like, oh, well, let's get some new blood 1147 01:18:45.479 --> 01:18:51.560 in there. I remember seeing the uh is that real? Yeah? Yeah, 1148 01:18:51.600 --> 01:18:58.760 yeah, yeah, it's a quote Wow, look at you back to 1149 01:18:58.840 --> 01:19:02.000 quote Austin Walker. I definitely saw one of the worst takes in the world 1150 01:19:02.039 --> 01:19:05.239 that made me want to go the fuck to sleep. Uh, and someone 1151 01:19:05.359 --> 01:19:10.760 saying, man, fuck all this diversity. Shoot, we should get white 1152 01:19:10.840 --> 01:19:13.880 dudes making video games again. That's when games were the best. Now, 1153 01:19:14.640 --> 01:19:23.960 I'm like, what you're kidding me? Dog? You know you fucking that 1154 01:19:25.000 --> 01:19:27.520 may come for the stuff you hate, but it will also come for the 1155 01:19:27.560 --> 01:19:31.079 stuff you love. Layoffs do not give a fuck about what it is you 1156 01:19:31.159 --> 01:19:34.560 care about, regardless of if you are a bigot or a normal person. 1157 01:19:35.439 --> 01:19:43.039 It will touch everything you love and it will ruin gaming. Already ruined gaming, 1158 01:19:43.479 --> 01:19:46.760 except if you're at the top. And then yeah, those people, 1159 01:19:47.159 --> 01:19:50.439 Yeah, it pays a sweet little corner office you release the statement of how 1160 01:19:50.479 --> 01:19:58.520 you're so sad to have to do. Uh. I'm gonna skip this next 1161 01:19:58.680 --> 01:20:04.319 story in Unfortunately, continue with the theme of today of more layoffs, with 1162 01:20:04.479 --> 01:20:10.680 the new DA s X game seemingly being canceled because of Idos Montreal laying off 1163 01:20:10.800 --> 01:20:15.760 ninety seven people from their workforce. Last game that Idos Montreal released, I 1164 01:20:15.840 --> 01:20:19.079 believe those Guardians of the Galaxy, which is a fantastic game that people should 1165 01:20:19.159 --> 01:20:25.920 check out and I'm gonna say this, this is partially due to the fact 1166 01:20:26.119 --> 01:20:31.880 that Embracer, who bought IDAs Montreal, is restructuring. And I think early 1167 01:20:31.920 --> 01:20:36.840 in the pandemic, Bailey, you talked about this about like hiring an obscene 1168 01:20:36.880 --> 01:20:43.520 amount of people. IDAs was acquiring virtually anybody that was willing to be bought, 1169 01:20:43.600 --> 01:20:49.039 and now is throwing all of those lovely games into the fucking trash. 1170 01:20:49.239 --> 01:20:54.640 I hope for TAM's sake that Legacy of Cain can remain unscathed, and that 1171 01:20:54.720 --> 01:20:58.239 maybe maybe will buy not even Legacy of Kine is safe. Maybe will buy 1172 01:20:58.279 --> 01:21:01.159 it. Can we buy Backlar I'm sure if it's for sale, Damn, 1173 01:21:01.199 --> 01:21:03.199 he said it. He said it. We can buy Legacy, Okay, 1174 01:21:03.239 --> 01:21:09.560 and let's do it. But what does what does this mean for Embracer if 1175 01:21:09.560 --> 01:21:15.560 they're if they suddenly invested so much in an obscene amount of money into gaming 1176 01:21:15.880 --> 01:21:20.880 and acquiring all these studios only to uh cancel project after project and in this 1177 01:21:20.920 --> 01:21:26.239 restructuring process have laid off an obscene amount of people as well. I mean, 1178 01:21:26.279 --> 01:21:30.159 I don't really give a fuck about Embracer, but I think, you 1179 01:21:30.199 --> 01:21:35.439 know, I try and just like search for a silver lining with you know 1180 01:21:35.640 --> 01:21:41.520 people talented people, right, uh, needing work and you know it. 1181 01:21:42.439 --> 01:21:45.279 It's not gonna help. It's not gonna solve problems for every single person. 1182 01:21:45.319 --> 01:21:50.000 But I think, you know, some of the positive stuff that comes uh 1183 01:21:50.119 --> 01:21:56.279 occasionally is you get you get people sort of coming together and uh, you 1184 01:21:56.319 --> 01:21:59.239 know, building something independent and we get like a new studio out of it 1185 01:21:59.279 --> 01:22:02.359 that maybe can high and kind of like come out of that on the other 1186 01:22:02.399 --> 01:22:06.439 side. Again, it's not going to fix it, but it definitely is 1187 01:22:08.079 --> 01:22:11.760 positive. Right, So I don't know, there's no good answer, man. 1188 01:22:12.840 --> 01:22:17.039 I'm just continually confused by embracer as a whole entity because did they not 1189 01:22:17.199 --> 01:22:20.560 buy all of The Lord of the Rings last year? I don't know, 1190 01:22:21.399 --> 01:22:27.279 Like they bought the Lord of the Rings, like the rights to the Lord 1191 01:22:27.279 --> 01:22:31.560 of the Rings folks, uh watching listening live? Uh, not not all 1192 01:22:31.600 --> 01:22:34.319 of it, but a good chunk of it. Okay, Yes, So 1193 01:22:34.479 --> 01:22:38.319 like they only I don't I don't even understand what they mean they bought. 1194 01:22:38.520 --> 01:22:44.720 They didn't buy Sam. Sam is pretty good at like he sing out the 1195 01:22:44.760 --> 01:22:48.399 parts that they sell. So you wind up watching that mediocre Amazon series and 1196 01:22:48.439 --> 01:22:51.920 they can't talk about anything that was in the Silmarillion and it's funny, weird. 1197 01:22:53.079 --> 01:22:55.880 They can just imply that things happened, but they're like, but don't 1198 01:22:55.960 --> 01:22:59.640 check, we can't, don't ask us, We're not allowed. This is 1199 01:22:59.640 --> 01:23:03.880 the sider Man font all over again. Okay, they just bought Ghimli. 1200 01:23:03.920 --> 01:23:08.000 It looks like oh, okay, hold on, as well as intellectual property 1201 01:23:08.000 --> 01:23:10.680 writes to video games based off of the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit 1202 01:23:10.720 --> 01:23:18.840 intellectual properties by acquiring Middle Earth enterprises. All right, okay, Jesus Christ. 1203 01:23:18.920 --> 01:23:23.680 Maybe we shouldn't let people with hell of money buy just blindly buy things. 1204 01:23:23.920 --> 01:23:26.199 I'm just gonna say that. I know it's a bold and brave take. 1205 01:23:26.560 --> 01:23:29.760 Maybe people in groups with a lot of money, they we should look 1206 01:23:29.800 --> 01:23:32.840 at them with a little bit more scrutiny, and maybe we don't. We 1207 01:23:32.880 --> 01:23:38.039 get off my back for buying an expensive coffee grinder, all right, government 1208 01:23:38.279 --> 01:23:41.119 fucking layoff. All right, I don't care if I have to pay import 1209 01:23:41.159 --> 01:23:49.680 prices, I'll do it. I'll do it in much much lighter news. 1210 01:23:45.640 --> 01:23:53.439 Uh, get your party streamers out, Bailey. Don't clap, please don't 1211 01:23:53.439 --> 01:23:58.159 clap. I almost did. I saw the hands coming together. We had 1212 01:23:58.199 --> 01:24:04.279 to stop you reportedly and rumored the switch to will have an eight inch l 1213 01:24:04.319 --> 01:24:12.640 c D screen LCD l c D and if after seeing the o ED switch 1214 01:24:12.680 --> 01:24:17.000 and the fandom office and being very very tempted to take it, yeah, 1215 01:24:17.119 --> 01:24:19.000 I was like, I stole it. But yeah, go ahead, okay, 1216 01:24:19.000 --> 01:24:21.560 okay, good one of us. It's right here, it's right here. 1217 01:24:21.960 --> 01:24:26.000 I was like, oh shit, this looks great, and then having 1218 01:24:26.079 --> 01:24:29.880 to do like the mental math and then doing the physical math of like I 1219 01:24:29.920 --> 01:24:31.439 shouldn't buy an oh, let's switch right now, but I'm thinking about it. 1220 01:24:31.960 --> 01:24:36.199 I understand where you're attended here. I understand is I'm bummed out size, 1221 01:24:36.439 --> 01:24:40.439 like the screen, the eight inches at the same No, no, 1222 01:24:40.479 --> 01:24:43.920 it's bigger, bigger, It's supposed to be bigger. So the o ED 1223 01:24:44.119 --> 01:24:47.439 is seven inches like diagonal h and the original switch is six point two. 1224 01:24:47.520 --> 01:24:53.560 So this will technically be the biggest handheld coming from Nintendo. Screen wise, 1225 01:24:53.720 --> 01:24:58.239 I mean, obviously old would be better, but the thing that I choose 1226 01:24:58.239 --> 01:25:02.399 between the old screen and like significantly significantly improved performance and graphics, I'm going 1227 01:25:02.479 --> 01:25:05.479 to take the ladder. Oh of course. Yeah, And you know they're 1228 01:25:05.520 --> 01:25:08.720 going to do the thing where they do the Olid in like two years or 1229 01:25:08.720 --> 01:25:11.640 something like that. And yeah, right, I'm going to buy that ten 1230 01:25:11.720 --> 01:25:15.039 inch that ten inch Olid switch is well too big? Is that? Yes? 1231 01:25:15.399 --> 01:25:17.399 That might be good? Too big? Yeah, what's that? I 1232 01:25:17.399 --> 01:25:20.880 don't think you can go bigger than like nine? What's like an iPad? 1233 01:25:20.960 --> 01:25:25.640 Like a traditional iPad? Now? Is the traditional one is ten point two? 1234 01:25:27.039 --> 01:25:29.399 Okay? No? Like, well the pros are, aren't the pros 1235 01:25:29.439 --> 01:25:32.760 like eleven point nine or there? For the standards? Yeah, I think 1236 01:25:32.800 --> 01:25:38.920 mine's ten point two. I can't imagine ten on a switch. Yeah, 1237 01:25:39.000 --> 01:25:41.600 yeah, it's a bummer. I mean, obviously Olid is way way better. 1238 01:25:41.680 --> 01:25:45.600 But but I also think, like, uh, you know, olead 1239 01:25:45.640 --> 01:25:49.159 is is drastic when you are comparing, right, like, yeah, this 1240 01:25:49.279 --> 01:25:54.000 is it's going to be fine. We're all gonna it's gonna be fine. 1241 01:25:54.119 --> 01:25:58.880 Everything's going to be great. It'll uh, it'll never change in price for 1242 01:25:59.039 --> 01:26:02.279 fifteen years and it'll be awesome. Okay, So speaking about price, this 1243 01:26:02.279 --> 01:26:06.920 person quoted in the VGC story here who you cannot tell me is not another 1244 01:26:06.960 --> 01:26:18.039 alias of Mike Manatti, doctor Circinto. Yeah he's worried about yeah, yeah, 1245 01:26:18.079 --> 01:26:24.840 mis nice to meet you. Oh okay, that's mister manati to you, 1246 01:26:25.239 --> 01:26:32.319 so doctort mythologies. Wow, so the apple does fall far from the 1247 01:26:32.439 --> 01:26:35.680 tree situation. The apple doesn't fall at all. They didn't plant the apple 1248 01:26:35.680 --> 01:26:40.920 tree there, right, They chopped all those down and made sure they never 1249 01:26:41.039 --> 01:26:46.399 propagated. Mikey Apples has never had an apple. The Doctor Circinto, CEO 1250 01:26:46.560 --> 01:26:51.600 of Tokyo based game industry consultancy Canton Games, claims that the console released at 1251 01:26:51.680 --> 01:26:59.640 four hundred dollars, which isn't like absolutely wild, Like I'm assuming like if 1252 01:26:59.640 --> 01:27:02.239 it's going to be I have a little bit more horsepower underneath, right, 1253 01:27:02.640 --> 01:27:06.119 yeah, Like what is a what's the base Steam Deck going at right now? 1254 01:27:06.840 --> 01:27:10.439 Five? Well? I mean there's still are you talking about the the 1255 01:27:10.479 --> 01:27:15.239 older ones than not O Lead? I guess like when the original three LC 1256 01:27:15.560 --> 01:27:18.319 models launched it was like five No, but they're still selling one of the 1257 01:27:18.359 --> 01:27:24.720 original LCD, it's like nine or something. They're selling the two fifty six 1258 01:27:24.880 --> 01:27:30.000 gigabyte LCD for four hundred, yeah, and then the five twelve O lead 1259 01:27:30.079 --> 01:27:33.119 starts at five point fifty? Do we have the switch to will be more 1260 01:27:33.159 --> 01:27:40.159 powerful than the first Steam Deck? Now, there's no way you don't think 1261 01:27:40.199 --> 01:27:43.079 so, I don't know, I don't think so, I mean, you're 1262 01:27:43.119 --> 01:27:46.680 probably probably right, I could see. Yeah, Like I'm just saying that 1263 01:27:46.680 --> 01:27:50.159 that's like a gut check though I'm sorry, a knee jerk sort of thing, 1264 01:27:50.199 --> 01:27:54.119 but like I don't know, I'm looking at No one in chat really 1265 01:27:54.199 --> 01:27:58.199 thinks, but I like, dude, you it comes out and it is 1266 01:27:58.239 --> 01:28:04.720 a clearly hardware speaking an inferior system. But that's okay, it doesn't matter, 1267 01:28:04.840 --> 01:28:08.479 right, Like, yeah, I mean I've always said that the Nintendo 1268 01:28:08.560 --> 01:28:11.880 stopped trying to keep up with the Joneses in terms of horsepower and the GameCube 1269 01:28:11.920 --> 01:28:15.119 generation that was the last time where it was comparable. Or GameCube even looked 1270 01:28:15.119 --> 01:28:16.119 a little better in PS two in a lot of cases, but I thought 1271 01:28:16.159 --> 01:28:18.399 it did too. Yeah, I feel like Xbox was seen as like the 1272 01:28:18.720 --> 01:28:21.800 strongest, but then ever since then, it's been the gimmick for better and 1273 01:28:21.880 --> 01:28:25.000 for worse, you know, for the Wei or it's all like crazy, 1274 01:28:25.000 --> 01:28:27.760 but it was not powerful at all, the we U kind of gimmick that 1275 01:28:27.800 --> 01:28:30.319 didn't work, still not powerful, the Switch not powerful, but had a 1276 01:28:30.319 --> 01:28:34.399 gimmick that super duper worked. So yeah, they stopped trying to keep up, 1277 01:28:34.560 --> 01:28:39.000 you know, And that's it's it's worked, you know, yeah, 1278 01:28:39.119 --> 01:28:43.439 I mean it keeps their costs lower. Like the win win win win. 1279 01:28:43.680 --> 01:28:45.720 Is the switch to or super switch whatever they were going to call it the 1280 01:28:45.760 --> 01:28:50.359 new switch. You do you think there's going to be another dumb gimmick or 1281 01:28:50.520 --> 01:28:54.960 not dumb gimmick stick with the switch gimmick. Yeah, if they want to 1282 01:28:55.000 --> 01:28:58.159 do some other horseshit thing where they say, oh, it's HD rumble too, 1283 01:28:58.279 --> 01:29:00.880 or like you know, there's what's the gimmick that makes sense and is 1284 01:29:00.920 --> 01:29:03.680 important like that, Oh you can take this on the go, And then 1285 01:29:03.680 --> 01:29:09.279 there's the HD rumbles and the joycon grips and all these other like weird other 1286 01:29:09.439 --> 01:29:12.880 Nintendo things the way they like three DS had it like a million different like 1287 01:29:13.359 --> 01:29:15.079 ar and things that don't really matter as much as like, you know, 1288 01:29:15.199 --> 01:29:18.960 two screens. So just as long as it is portable and is a switch 1289 01:29:19.159 --> 01:29:23.359 the way the switch was, they can add whatever. That's fine, but 1290 01:29:23.359 --> 01:29:25.680 that's not gonna be the hook. I don't think. Yeah, I think 1291 01:29:25.680 --> 01:29:29.680 it's gonna have all the same core functionality with like a handful of quality of 1292 01:29:29.720 --> 01:29:33.199 life improvements and and I agree with Dan, like it might have like one 1293 01:29:33.279 --> 01:29:36.119 or two dumb ass things. That's just like, all right, it can 1294 01:29:36.239 --> 01:29:41.760 it can can tell me my blood oxygen level six, Like, uh, 1295 01:29:42.520 --> 01:29:45.600 I don't care. That works great. So I proposed it was either last 1296 01:29:45.600 --> 01:29:50.720 week or two weeks ago that it should have an accompanying watch with it, 1297 01:29:50.840 --> 01:29:57.800 because I wanted to be a vitality er. I want Yeah, I like 1298 01:29:57.840 --> 01:30:01.279 that Bring Back Street Pass, So that's what I was. That was not 1299 01:30:01.359 --> 01:30:03.760 the worst. Yeah, that was not the way I love Street. You 1300 01:30:03.800 --> 01:30:06.159 go like, yeah, three or something, and then you have like eight 1301 01:30:06.199 --> 01:30:11.039 billion puzzle pieces at the end of the day. That's why I want to 1302 01:30:11.079 --> 01:30:13.640 That's why I just started throwing shakas up to people in real life, like 1303 01:30:13.680 --> 01:30:15.920 what's up, brother? Oh yeah, He's like, oh hang this app 1304 01:30:15.039 --> 01:30:19.079 Yes. Yeah. We go from the most convoluted friend system ever with frind 1305 01:30:19.119 --> 01:30:23.479 codes and stuff, and then Nintendo just goes straight to just thelth one. 1306 01:30:25.279 --> 01:30:29.399 Uh. But I think I don't think it's gonna have detachable joy cons this 1307 01:30:29.439 --> 01:30:31.680 time around. You don't think so. I don't think so, because I 1308 01:30:31.680 --> 01:30:38.279 feel like Nintendo themselves stopped like leaning into that with a lot of their first 1309 01:30:38.279 --> 01:30:41.760 party titles. I think they still do. I think like didn't like Mario 1310 01:30:41.800 --> 01:30:44.479 Wonder you could do like you know, the Mario Party games, like some 1311 01:30:44.520 --> 01:30:46.439 of them, like you have to like that warrior word just came out where 1312 01:30:46.439 --> 01:30:49.079 you have to use both joy cons, you know. Okay, okay, 1313 01:30:49.159 --> 01:30:53.680 Mario Party, Mario Party superstars really utilize it, And honestly, it's kind 1314 01:30:53.680 --> 01:30:56.560 of nice. Like when I travel with a switch, I know, I 1315 01:30:56.640 --> 01:30:58.720 just you know, the two were already attached, and I just bring two 1316 01:30:58.720 --> 01:31:00.800 other joy cons, but I know I want to play some poor player Mario 1317 01:31:00.840 --> 01:31:03.960 Party with my sisters, So I don't know. I think people use them 1318 01:31:04.079 --> 01:31:08.479 enough to keep doing that, Like we probably all have pro controllers and stuff. 1319 01:31:08.520 --> 01:31:12.079 But I think a lot of people do use the joy cons for of 1320 01:31:12.079 --> 01:31:14.680 course, it only makes sense they make them for us. Yes, absolutely 1321 01:31:15.000 --> 01:31:17.960 no one else. You need to be verified and the old cool way to 1322 01:31:17.960 --> 01:31:23.159 be verified to buy them. I think I was thinking that mostly because, 1323 01:31:23.800 --> 01:31:29.520 oh, hello, jumped on my other cat. Did your catches eat a 1324 01:31:29.600 --> 01:31:32.720 parrot? What just happened? Okay, Goose was sleeping and Noodle jumped onto 1325 01:31:32.800 --> 01:31:36.439 his body, and Goose was upset about that is what happened. I'd also 1326 01:31:36.479 --> 01:31:41.399 be upset a cat jumped on me. It's hit me his butt right here. 1327 01:31:42.359 --> 01:31:45.039 There we go. If audio listeners were looking at a cat butt, 1328 01:31:45.520 --> 01:31:48.239 I think I was thinking that mostly of them ditching the joy Cons because of 1329 01:31:48.880 --> 01:31:54.880 uh, trying to avoid another debacle of joy Con drift. And I've been 1330 01:31:55.279 --> 01:31:58.119 looking at all the other I don't want to say copycats, but competition, 1331 01:31:58.399 --> 01:32:02.960 like the steam Deck, the asist Roger just being a one thing, brick 1332 01:32:03.119 --> 01:32:08.640 type of delio, unlike the Lenovo Legion Go, which is God there, 1333 01:32:08.840 --> 01:32:12.399 Jeff Keeley must have a warehouse full of those. Still. Huh yeah, 1334 01:32:13.279 --> 01:32:15.920 I would think so I was so massive one thing I would like them to 1335 01:32:15.920 --> 01:32:18.399 figure out. And I don't know what the answer to this is is find 1336 01:32:18.399 --> 01:32:23.760 a way to label the face buttons in a way that like, I know, 1337 01:32:23.800 --> 01:32:27.039 the reason it doesn't work, you know, because it turns, you 1338 01:32:27.079 --> 01:32:30.399 know, so like hmm, up isn't up when you turn it. I 1339 01:32:30.479 --> 01:32:32.399 hate when a lot of times you're playing games with people that don't play a 1340 01:32:32.399 --> 01:32:35.279 lot of games, and I'm explaining how to do something in a Switch game 1341 01:32:35.319 --> 01:32:39.920 and I'm like, hit up and up the up face button and They're like, 1342 01:32:39.960 --> 01:32:41.560 what do you do? Up face Button's like, well, okay, 1343 01:32:41.560 --> 01:32:44.920 stick up And then the top button. It's the one, you know, 1344 01:32:45.039 --> 01:32:47.199 the one on the front. It's like, yeah, you need to label 1345 01:32:47.199 --> 01:32:51.199 that use letters or something. There was an Xbox controller where the dep head 1346 01:32:51.399 --> 01:32:55.960 was rotatable. Yeah, yeah, remember I remember that it would uh yeah, 1347 01:32:56.000 --> 01:33:00.239 it was like a late three sixty controller and yeah, rot it was 1348 01:33:00.279 --> 01:33:04.319 like changing between like you know, I guess like uh, you know, 1349 01:33:04.359 --> 01:33:10.199 having like a northeast directional right, and then just the standard like four way. 1350 01:33:10.279 --> 01:33:12.479 Well you could take it out and you could put the like kind of 1351 01:33:12.520 --> 01:33:14.760 eight way thing and they're the ones kind of no, this was just one 1352 01:33:14.760 --> 01:33:17.439 that this was just one that turned. I don't think it was an elite. 1353 01:33:17.520 --> 01:33:21.279 I think it was like it was just like an evolved version of like 1354 01:33:21.319 --> 01:33:25.279 the three sixty controller. I think, to what end I kind of remember. 1355 01:33:25.600 --> 01:33:30.000 I think it was just going back between like having more depth around the 1356 01:33:30.079 --> 01:33:34.079 outline of the deep head piece and then like when you rotated it in another 1357 01:33:34.319 --> 01:33:39.239 ninety degrees, it like it like it just sort of like I don't know, 1358 01:33:39.239 --> 01:33:43.079 it's just like pushed. It became more flush. There wasn't the deepac 1359 01:33:43.079 --> 01:33:45.000 because yeah, the base three sixty deep pad was really lacking and it did 1360 01:33:45.079 --> 01:33:47.439 get better, right, Yeah, someone just said in chat it was called 1361 01:33:47.439 --> 01:33:51.640 the transforming depad, So maybe they figure out a way to do that and 1362 01:33:51.680 --> 01:33:55.439 then like all of a sudden, all the buttons line up. Because you're 1363 01:33:55.479 --> 01:33:59.600 totally right like that that's a huge pain in the ass when normies come over. 1364 01:33:59.720 --> 01:34:02.720 Yeah, yeah, what was what was like the proper use of that, 1365 01:34:02.760 --> 01:34:06.039 Like what game warranted having to turn the D pad. It wasn't that, 1366 01:34:06.119 --> 01:34:10.600 it was preference. No, it's while you hold the joy conds by 1367 01:34:10.600 --> 01:34:15.279 themselves. So if we're playing for he's asking about the Xbox the Xbox one 1368 01:34:15.359 --> 01:34:16.640 said, Yea, I think it was just preference. I think you were 1369 01:34:16.720 --> 01:34:20.199 just like like for me, I love I like when my dpad has like 1370 01:34:20.479 --> 01:34:26.079 very h identifiable up, down, left, right, I kind of function 1371 01:34:26.760 --> 01:34:29.039 and played the ne E S and we judge every dpad off the n E 1372 01:34:29.119 --> 01:34:30.159 SD pad, right, Hey you said it, and I me, But 1373 01:34:30.239 --> 01:34:34.159 yeah, that's that's that's the thing. I bet so. I've been using 1374 01:34:34.159 --> 01:34:36.319 a dpad in a couple of games now, and let me tell you'all, 1375 01:34:36.319 --> 01:34:40.239 it fucking hurts my hands. Just give me a stick any day. Just 1376 01:34:40.279 --> 01:34:43.319 give me a stick. Yeah. Someone was saying, like, go use 1377 01:34:43.359 --> 01:34:45.399 the deep pad for Teken eight and I used it and I was like, 1378 01:34:45.439 --> 01:34:46.840 this hurts my hands. I can't do this, and oh, I have 1379 01:34:46.960 --> 01:34:49.800 to dpad for TEK and I have to dpad for Tony Hawk. Like it 1380 01:34:49.840 --> 01:34:56.439 feels weird to do the thing. If I started playing it with the dpad, 1381 01:34:56.640 --> 01:34:59.000 I will never be able to break that in my head. Okay, 1382 01:34:59.079 --> 01:35:02.520 actually, deep pad I go back for in Tony Hawk because it feels it 1383 01:35:02.560 --> 01:35:06.520 feels wrong, It feels taboo to do it with an analytic like like two 1384 01:35:06.600 --> 01:35:11.239 D Mario. Yes, I'm not playing stick way, No, you have 1385 01:35:11.279 --> 01:35:14.640 to be a lunatic crazy Okay, so we're not that old. I think 1386 01:35:14.720 --> 01:35:18.239 like there is a certain sort of psychosis is required to use a joystick for 1387 01:35:18.239 --> 01:35:23.279 for certain platforms. I always feel like, what are you're playing with fire? 1388 01:35:23.319 --> 01:35:26.159 There s three D platform it's great for that. Yes, yes, 1389 01:35:26.600 --> 01:35:31.600 yes, no, I need a three D Oh well, yeah, of 1390 01:35:31.600 --> 01:35:36.119 course, of course I need a three DS analog disc to move stuff around. 1391 01:35:36.159 --> 01:35:45.119 I need the PSP Vita nubs. Actually, oh god, I didn't 1392 01:35:45.119 --> 01:35:48.960 mind them as much. Was garbage. The beta one got a little better, 1393 01:35:48.960 --> 01:35:54.840 but that original one was the worst, terrible. The new three D 1394 01:35:54.920 --> 01:35:58.159 s XL one, remember that nub that two games used. Yeah, that's 1395 01:35:58.199 --> 01:36:00.239 he was talking about it. Yeah, the codem steam in Major's Mask one. 1396 01:36:00.399 --> 01:36:03.560 Yeah yeah, yeah. It felt like a good nub. But when 1397 01:36:03.560 --> 01:36:06.880 I would feel it up and target, I'm gonna stop talking. Now Apple's 1398 01:36:06.920 --> 01:36:13.880 now allowing game streaming apps. This is them switching their stance on a position 1399 01:36:13.920 --> 01:36:15.560 that they've held for quite a long time. This is part of the reason 1400 01:36:15.840 --> 01:36:20.680 why x Cloud or now Xbox game Pass was not allowed. This was partially 1401 01:36:20.720 --> 01:36:27.199 in part because Apple was blocking the service because no, you need to rate 1402 01:36:27.399 --> 01:36:30.319 every single game that comes on here, even though you're streaming the game, 1403 01:36:30.640 --> 01:36:34.399 you need to rate every single one. So it's all right. But now 1404 01:36:34.399 --> 01:36:39.840 they've switched that position and they are now allowing games. In a recent statement, 1405 01:36:40.039 --> 01:36:45.520 they're allowing new options for how Apple can deliver experiences users. So now 1406 01:36:45.720 --> 01:36:49.359 developers can submit a single app with a capability to stream games offered in their 1407 01:36:49.359 --> 01:36:54.920 catalog. Well, this just seems so wild because every time on any app, 1408 01:36:54.960 --> 01:36:59.520 whether it's Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, et cetera, I will always 1409 01:36:59.640 --> 01:37:03.359 see an app or an advertisement for a fake game or for a fake app. 1410 01:37:03.520 --> 01:37:05.920 And I know y'all talked about this on the very online show. But 1411 01:37:06.399 --> 01:37:10.720 I don't understand how Apple can keep getting away or people can keep getting away 1412 01:37:10.760 --> 01:37:15.079 back or releasing fake apps, fake games on the service and this all just 1413 01:37:15.119 --> 01:37:18.319 trash. Yeah, man, I mean, look, this is our dark 1414 01:37:18.359 --> 01:37:20.720 future. What do you want me to tell you? I don't know, 1415 01:37:20.880 --> 01:37:27.399 just like point at where a light could be. Perhaps it's a vague direction. 1416 01:37:28.520 --> 01:37:32.920 Yeah, I mean I think you know, like the reason this I 1417 01:37:32.960 --> 01:37:36.279 don't know. I used to think like everything Apple did after the epic stuff 1418 01:37:36.319 --> 01:37:41.560 was just in the service of preventing further litigation for something else that they kind 1419 01:37:41.560 --> 01:37:45.399 of felt the hourglass was running dry with. So that's what I always assume 1420 01:37:45.479 --> 01:37:49.279 indefinitely that Apple is doing when it does things like this, is like, 1421 01:37:49.359 --> 01:37:53.960 oh, they figured something out and they want to avoid litigation, so this 1422 01:37:54.119 --> 01:37:57.279 is in service of that. Let me tell you, I completely welcome this 1423 01:37:57.479 --> 01:38:00.159 because steam Deck. You know, I'm playing in bed. I've dropped it 1424 01:38:00.159 --> 01:38:08.720 on my face maybe like five six times, so you no, it happened 1425 01:38:09.199 --> 01:38:12.439 because like you know, well, especially when you're you're trying to play like 1426 01:38:12.520 --> 01:38:15.600 Persona three late at night or like a Dragon, and you're in the stretch 1427 01:38:15.640 --> 01:38:17.439 of like all right, here's all these cutscenes, we got to try and 1428 01:38:17.439 --> 01:38:21.600 digest them, and then like I'll nod off and like onto my face. 1429 01:38:25.560 --> 01:38:30.279 I don't wear my glasses and bed thankful, I'll take them off. I've 1430 01:38:30.359 --> 01:38:34.159 I've had to stop gaming and wearing my CPAP machine because of that reason, 1431 01:38:34.199 --> 01:38:39.159 because it'll just push the the hose into my face more. All right, 1432 01:38:39.199 --> 01:38:44.359 So just to be clear, you prioritize gaming over the machine that makes you 1433 01:38:44.439 --> 01:38:48.920 breathe. Yeah, yeah, I really just I just wanted to check on 1434 01:38:49.000 --> 01:38:54.960 that you're good. Keep going, Bail's life. You know my priorities. 1435 01:38:55.319 --> 01:39:00.720 But what I have done is I started streaming the game some games from my 1436 01:39:00.800 --> 01:39:04.119 PC to like the Steam app on my phone and using like a like what 1437 01:39:04.239 --> 01:39:09.399 is it a backbone on my phone to decent success, you know, Yakuza 1438 01:39:09.399 --> 01:39:12.800 since it's turn based, or like a Dragon since it's turn based. Completely 1439 01:39:12.800 --> 01:39:15.520 fine, PERSONA three, Completely fine doing it that way. I'll still drop 1440 01:39:15.560 --> 01:39:18.880 my phone on my face though, but it hurts less than a Steam deck. 1441 01:39:19.399 --> 01:39:25.439 God, Dan, when I when we when we picked up that o 1442 01:39:25.560 --> 01:39:28.199 led Steam deck at Valve and I felt how light it was. I was 1443 01:39:28.199 --> 01:39:30.720 like, oh my god, I need this because this won't hurt as much 1444 01:39:30.800 --> 01:39:34.079 if I drop it on different trying to fracture and a break. Yeah, 1445 01:39:34.159 --> 01:39:38.439 yeah, like my origo bone, I can't. I can't rock an eye 1446 01:39:38.439 --> 01:39:44.000 patch as well as other people. I don't think. I don't think I've 1447 01:39:44.000 --> 01:39:46.640 tried. All right here, Brian Janielsen, does that work? Dan? 1448 01:39:47.279 --> 01:39:51.319 I love it. I love I'm quite attached to Jandy Orton now I'm just 1449 01:39:51.840 --> 01:40:02.720 during the break. J oh hey, my last names? Oh yeah, 1450 01:40:03.199 --> 01:40:06.119 I never mind.

Who's it going to be? Is what I want to 1473 01:41:47.680 --> 01:41:51.840 know. Who is going to succumb to the marketing? Oh, I mean 1474 01:41:53.399 --> 01:41:56.319 you're it's either going to be me or shot. It's gonna be shot. 1475 01:41:56.399 --> 01:42:06.159 This is what it's Okay, we don't bid that much, but rumors are 1476 01:42:06.199 --> 01:42:10.720 abound for the state of play. Sony is saying that there's gonna be several 1477 01:42:10.720 --> 01:42:14.800 new titles for the PS five and PSVR two that are slated for a twenty 1478 01:42:14.840 --> 01:42:16.880 twenty four release. You think we're finally going to get an astrobot? Perhaps, 1479 01:42:17.960 --> 01:42:21.800 keep dreaming. I would love that. That would be excellent, Dan, 1480 01:42:21.800 --> 01:42:26.920 when's the last time you fired up the PSVR two when we made that 1481 01:42:27.079 --> 01:42:30.880 video before it came out. No way, what's it been doing. It's 1482 01:42:30.880 --> 01:42:34.640 in a box in my storage room. I have not even considered bringing it 1483 01:42:34.680 --> 01:42:38.960 out once. Yeah, why would you? Why would you? Why would 1484 01:42:38.960 --> 01:42:43.520 you? But you're not interested in the Mountain. No, No, I'm 1485 01:42:43.520 --> 01:42:47.079 not either, but I would for astrobot if there does. Yes, yes, 1486 01:42:48.439 --> 01:42:53.600 yeah, I'm curious before remake and VR, but not really pull it 1487 01:42:53.600 --> 01:42:56.560 out of storage? Interesting? Like are you gonna play that whole goddamn game 1488 01:42:56.600 --> 01:42:59.439 in VR? Like? What are we doing? Oh? I should make 1489 01:42:59.479 --> 01:43:01.680 my dad that he's playing through resonue before again. I should make him play 1490 01:43:01.760 --> 01:43:03.960 remakeing VR when he comes up next week. Okay, now, all of 1491 01:43:04.000 --> 01:43:08.520 a sudden, I'm on make a note to make him do that. Okay. 1492 01:43:08.880 --> 01:43:14.439 He remind Dan to remind his himself to play make Paul play through r 1493 01:43:14.439 --> 01:43:17.840 E four dancing and Chats one hundredercent correct, like the fact that they didn't 1494 01:43:17.960 --> 01:43:24.800 just re release Astrobot on ps VR two, like can like can you rescue 1495 01:43:24.840 --> 01:43:30.079 mission? Yeah? Likes compatible, it's not right, that's one of the 1496 01:43:30.520 --> 01:43:33.800 decisions about it. Yeah smart, Yeah, Yeah, they they make they 1497 01:43:33.800 --> 01:43:38.279 make good choices there, but rumors are abound. Uh. This credit to 1498 01:43:38.479 --> 01:43:43.239 xbox eras Nick Baker, as well as prolific leaker Bill Bill kuhn. Oh. 1499 01:43:43.560 --> 01:43:49.840 Something I've common with prolific leaker our thinking death stranding too may pop up 1500 01:43:49.880 --> 01:43:54.960 at the end of the state of play. I'd be into that, would 1501 01:43:55.000 --> 01:44:00.720 you. Yeah. Yeah, I took a massive turn on death stranding. 1502 01:44:00.720 --> 01:44:01.880 I thought it was when I don't want to say the worst things, just 1503 01:44:01.920 --> 01:44:08.039 the most baffling things to come out pretty baffling. And then the director's cut 1504 01:44:08.119 --> 01:44:10.960 came out, Ye back are And then I was like, all right, 1505 01:44:11.000 --> 01:44:15.039 I get it? Do I really? I think I think I would maybe 1506 01:44:15.279 --> 01:44:20.319 entertain playing the director's cut. And now it's perfect because I like churches now 1507 01:44:20.399 --> 01:44:28.199 and that game starts with the churches songs. Yeahry. Back in the old 1508 01:44:28.279 --> 01:44:33.039 days, there were no use. That's how it worked. That's why sometimes 1509 01:44:35.239 --> 01:44:40.920 subway sometimes in Manhattan, like an old subway sign that says the way the 1510 01:44:41.520 --> 01:44:45.640 way. Now that hurts my mouth. I thought you were talking about the 1511 01:44:45.680 --> 01:44:47.039 food chain, and I was like, how long have they been around? 1512 01:44:47.279 --> 01:44:51.279 That's like the U thing seems much older. I was also thinking the subway 1513 01:44:51.520 --> 01:44:58.600 sandwich sandwiches about the subway. New York has shoot subways, right, that 1514 01:45:00.000 --> 01:45:04.560 shop shoot as subway. We still need to get that foot long show and 1515 01:45:04.560 --> 01:45:10.199 foot long cookie, Dan, we need Friday that for you long cookie and 1516 01:45:10.359 --> 01:45:15.279 how exactly what it sounds like? Yeah, I saw a commercial during Roll 1517 01:45:15.359 --> 01:45:19.399 last night and they are exactly what are we talking about? Girth? Three 1518 01:45:19.439 --> 01:45:26.880 inch? I would say three inches a girth? What it's cylindric? It's 1519 01:45:26.960 --> 01:45:30.600 it's it's flat. It's not cylindrical. I wouldn't. It's not like a 1520 01:45:30.600 --> 01:45:33.159 cookie dough. It's not a Yeah, it's not a cookie tube. It's 1521 01:45:33.199 --> 01:45:42.439 maybe like two two key caps wide distance. Well, now you're speaking my 1522 01:45:42.560 --> 01:45:45.520 language. I can't understand. Okay, all right, what is New York 1523 01:45:45.520 --> 01:45:49.760 to Miami and keycaps back? Oh? You know this off the top of 1524 01:45:49.800 --> 01:45:57.680 your head. Ye. Hey, we're only so many key caps around the 1525 01:45:57.680 --> 01:46:03.720 sun. Just gonna make that. But it was Wow, I'm looking at 1526 01:46:03.720 --> 01:46:10.720 this cookie cookie abomination, and I can't say I approve this. You know 1527 01:46:10.760 --> 01:46:14.239 what, There's only one situation where I would eat this, and that's at 1528 01:46:14.319 --> 01:46:18.319 like a super Bowl party. Like that's the only, uh environment that I 1529 01:46:18.319 --> 01:46:21.640 could indulge in this. It comes with a safety tray when you buy it, 1530 01:46:21.720 --> 01:46:25.720 though, backlar So, like the cookies break, does it have like 1531 01:46:25.760 --> 01:46:29.680 a like a helpline written on it or something like? What makes it so 1532 01:46:29.760 --> 01:46:35.000 safe? Like you've purchased a foot long cookie? And if you finish it, 1533 01:46:35.119 --> 01:46:40.319 here's a number you should call. You're beyond You're beyond help if you've 1534 01:46:40.319 --> 01:46:43.199 gone that far to buy a twelve Wait you guys, you guys, am 1535 01:46:43.239 --> 01:46:47.000 I looking at this correctly? Are some of them like savory instead of sweet? 1536 01:46:47.119 --> 01:46:49.800 Like that's just the sandwiches? Back Lart, you're just looking at the 1537 01:46:49.840 --> 01:46:55.319 sandwiches? No, wait one of them? Wait? Are these all cookie 1538 01:46:55.359 --> 01:47:00.880 bases? I'm gonna look at a press release because you're confusing. I hate 1539 01:47:00.880 --> 01:47:04.720 that I'm on the same page of a subway press release. And listen. 1540 01:47:04.920 --> 01:47:09.119 Oh no, that's a pretzel. That's a pretzel that you're looking at. 1541 01:47:09.159 --> 01:47:11.640 I want that one when we do foot long Friday. I got DIBs on 1542 01:47:11.680 --> 01:47:15.199 the pretzel. Wait, because one of them is like peanuts, And I'm 1543 01:47:15.239 --> 01:47:23.720 sorry. All this white drizzle shit is just it's very off putting. Always. 1544 01:47:23.760 --> 01:47:27.880 It's just like I know the tricks that they use when they take these 1545 01:47:27.880 --> 01:47:30.520 photos, and it is upset. Let me just say, where are you 1546 01:47:30.600 --> 01:47:34.359 seeing white? Oh? Okay, all right, okay, I see what 1547 01:47:34.399 --> 01:47:40.640 you're think. I'm taking some sort of like liberty here. I mean, 1548 01:47:40.720 --> 01:47:45.399 come on, it's pretty explicit. I don't know what they're doing here. 1549 01:47:45.479 --> 01:47:49.720 I can't get done with potato chips on cookies. But is it? So 1550 01:47:49.760 --> 01:47:55.319 we're looking at it. We're looking at like Brownie I'm sorry for for audio 1551 01:47:55.319 --> 01:48:00.199 listeners. We are looking at four examples of whatever this abomination is. Look 1552 01:48:00.279 --> 01:48:04.039 and they alternate between what appears to be like brownie cookies that are like a 1553 01:48:04.079 --> 01:48:08.760 foot wide and like you put it, three key caps wide, three games 1554 01:48:08.840 --> 01:48:14.680 long, and then there's like a cookie base but with like I'm assuming that's 1555 01:48:14.680 --> 01:48:18.399 peanut, butter, pickles, bacon, and potato chips, so it's like 1556 01:48:18.720 --> 01:48:24.239 with like very thin white dressing. These all these all have names and I'll 1557 01:48:24.279 --> 01:48:28.399 share them after Backlars. Okay. Then there's one that's just like cookies and 1558 01:48:28.439 --> 01:48:31.760 sprinkles and icing, which I think icing is a charitable description for what this 1559 01:48:31.760 --> 01:48:36.279 white shit looks like. And then there's like another this is probably my favorite. 1560 01:48:36.279 --> 01:48:43.560 This is another brownie based cookie with pretzels, peanut butter cups I think 1561 01:48:43.640 --> 01:48:47.840 just straight up peanut butter, and then maybe uh Reese's pieces. And then 1562 01:48:47.840 --> 01:48:53.800 the bottom one appears to be some sort of like it's a it's a chocolate 1563 01:48:53.880 --> 01:48:59.159 chip cookie with white and black chocolate chips. I want to say those are 1564 01:48:59.199 --> 01:49:05.119 like corn nuts or no, you're right correct there, and they're also like 1565 01:49:05.279 --> 01:49:11.680 peppered with some sort of like spice. It could be hell are Yeah, 1566 01:49:11.239 --> 01:49:15.479 you're nailing this just from visuals alone. That's really surprissed, Detective ye this 1567 01:49:17.199 --> 01:49:20.079 moment, I'm having my back. And then I want to say, also 1568 01:49:20.159 --> 01:49:25.039 mixed in is like maybe a barbecue sauce there too, because they're fucking animal 1569 01:49:25.119 --> 01:49:30.960 close. You're really close. Yeah, but some sense, But I think 1570 01:49:30.960 --> 01:49:33.600 that I actually do think the one, the one with the core nuts on 1571 01:49:33.680 --> 01:49:38.520 it sounds really interesting to me. But Jen, you do it, like 1572 01:49:38.560 --> 01:49:43.760 you you you break the news to him. So the image that Backlar has 1573 01:49:43.800 --> 01:49:48.319 been describing, uh Subway has updated their cover photo apparently and named these cookie 1574 01:49:48.359 --> 01:49:53.359 creations. The first one is the Subway Cookie Club, so it's just their 1575 01:49:53.359 --> 01:49:58.159 regular cookies put on top of the Brownie foot long cookie. The second one 1576 01:49:58.199 --> 01:50:05.439 is the Great Pickle, would features peanut butter pickles and potato chips savory bacon 1577 01:50:05.479 --> 01:50:10.239 crumbles as well, like like, are you not reading this from the press 1578 01:50:10.239 --> 01:50:13.119 release? That's the Great Pickle. The most unique cookie on the menu showcases 1579 01:50:13.119 --> 01:50:15.760 the signature flavor. It's star ingredient, just like the Great Garlic Number eights 1580 01:50:15.840 --> 01:50:18.199 up. This sweet and savory cookie layers both peanut butter and marshmallow crem on 1581 01:50:18.239 --> 01:50:24.159 top. So it's a fluffer nutter cookie topped with potato chips, savory bacon 1582 01:50:24.199 --> 01:50:28.000 crumbles, and Subways brand new deal pickles. I'll eat it. I don't 1583 01:50:28.000 --> 01:50:30.119 care. I don't care about the one human life I have. Let's go. 1584 01:50:30.800 --> 01:50:36.720 Are we looking at different Subway press release? They have released infinite press 1585 01:50:36.760 --> 01:50:41.439 releases about this all right? Anyway? The last two U the one with 1586 01:50:41.479 --> 01:50:45.159 the pretzels backlar is called the Monster, and then the last one with corn 1587 01:50:45.279 --> 01:50:50.439 actually has corn. It is the MEXICALI what's the what's the red stuff Bill, 1588 01:50:50.560 --> 01:50:56.000 you have the press release, Okay, mullet, Yeah, MEXICALI starts 1589 01:50:56.000 --> 01:51:00.640 with a vanilla sugar cookie bass smothered in dulcet leche and then topped with and 1590 01:51:00.760 --> 01:51:02.880 corn nuts, drizzled with white chocolate sauce, and finished with ground coffee to 1591 01:51:02.960 --> 01:51:08.760 heen and espresso chips. Team Yeah, I'm not gonna lie. I would 1592 01:51:08.760 --> 01:51:13.760 also fuck with that. Yes, I'm more interested in the savory ones than 1593 01:51:13.800 --> 01:51:15.760 the swo ones. I know A cookies tastes like, let's let's get weird. 1594 01:51:17.119 --> 01:51:21.600 This picture is fucked up. That was not the new last news story 1595 01:51:21.600 --> 01:51:25.479 of the day, folks, but hey, Subway, if you want to 1596 01:51:25.560 --> 01:51:30.760 give us a bunch of foot long cookies, you know my number. The 1597 01:51:30.840 --> 01:51:34.239 last new story of the day. To celebrate the sixty year anniversary Celeste, 1598 01:51:34.319 --> 01:51:40.359 a couple of the devs have made input on itch Celeste sixty four. Oh 1599 01:51:40.840 --> 01:51:45.479 I almost clapped again, Bailey, No classic. Sorry, I'm so sorry, 1600 01:51:45.600 --> 01:51:49.359 Sean. This is a neat little thing. I checked out a little 1601 01:51:49.399 --> 01:51:53.880 bit of it, but it is like a Nintendo sixty four platform or inspired 1602 01:51:53.960 --> 01:52:00.520 version remake of the first couple levels from Celeste and Yo. Reminder that one 1603 01:52:00.760 --> 01:52:03.319 we're old as shit now if this is it's been six years since The Less 1604 01:52:03.359 --> 01:52:08.800 came out, and two it's a good game, great game, go check 1605 01:52:08.840 --> 01:52:12.640 it out. Game, good game. How how fully you said this is 1606 01:52:12.640 --> 01:52:14.560 a free thing? Is this supposed to be just like a very quick, 1607 01:52:14.560 --> 01:52:16.039 little like tech demo thing or is there like a beginning and end? And 1608 01:52:17.159 --> 01:52:19.760 they made this in a short amount of time and I think it was just 1609 01:52:19.760 --> 01:52:24.880 to commemorate the anniverse or okay, which was a couple levels. So I 1610 01:52:24.920 --> 01:52:28.960 don't know if they have any intent on making a big thang out of it. 1611 01:52:29.720 --> 01:52:32.600 Oh. Actually, the last news story here is that Rock Study pulled 1612 01:52:33.000 --> 01:52:39.640 Suicide Squad an hour into early access after players had their games auto completed, 1613 01:52:40.479 --> 01:52:43.920 which okay, so that okay, I know we kind of like buried the 1614 01:52:44.000 --> 01:52:45.560 lead here, but like, does that mean you like boot the game up 1615 01:52:45.600 --> 01:52:48.920 and it's like you hit start and then you see the credits and it's like 1616 01:52:49.720 --> 01:52:57.159 achievement unlocked? Like what happened? I didn't dig that much deeper in because 1617 01:52:57.600 --> 01:53:00.840 it still baffles me that this game is coming out this week. I still 1618 01:53:00.840 --> 01:53:04.039 don't think it actually is. Yeah, I saw a friend of the site, 1619 01:53:04.680 --> 01:53:09.560 Jesse Norris, Uh play a little bit of it, and it looked 1620 01:53:09.600 --> 01:53:15.199 like a game I've heard it's one of those. Yeah, yeah, I'll 1621 01:53:15.239 --> 01:53:20.000 boot it up if I ever like get my hands on it, Like, 1622 01:53:20.119 --> 01:53:24.960 yeah, we have to boot it up. I try it, I'll try 1623 01:53:25.000 --> 01:53:30.000 it. I feel like I asked for a Cody code. Can I be 1624 01:53:30.079 --> 01:53:35.479 Badie code? No, we have no Batman's bad I think in this you 1625 01:53:35.560 --> 01:53:39.159 got to kill him. I want to be Batman. You could be some 1626 01:53:39.239 --> 01:53:44.920 O Joe in this one. No, isn't this one? The commercial? 1627 01:53:45.039 --> 01:53:53.119 Wait? Isn't there is in the cartoon? Is doing okay? All right? 1628 01:53:53.159 --> 01:53:56.439 All right? But I love how much work Joe is getting in games 1629 01:53:56.520 --> 01:53:59.800 lately or games adjacent things between, like twists, and I know he's loving 1630 01:53:59.800 --> 01:54:03.000 it. Keep doing that. This mojo is excellent. Keep giving him work. 1631 01:54:03.000 --> 01:54:05.680 The dude loves games. Uh yeah, in front of the site to 1632 01:54:05.720 --> 01:54:10.600 Mojo. Yeah. Oh, put Ben's Starr and Samoa Joe in something together 1633 01:54:11.159 --> 01:54:15.159 that work really well. Yes, I'm sure Ben Star would be fine getting 1634 01:54:15.199 --> 01:54:17.560 soup lexed or like in a Cookina clutch. Oh Jesus, Yes, I 1635 01:54:17.560 --> 01:54:20.079 think he'd be a good sport about it. If we're ever all in the 1636 01:54:20.119 --> 01:54:23.760 same city. We'll all go to Buffalo wol Wings together. How does that 1637 01:54:23.840 --> 01:54:29.880 sound? That was? Let me tell you if we if we could just 1638 01:54:30.279 --> 01:54:32.640 you know, swerve back into into our lane. Here a little bit on 1639 01:54:32.800 --> 01:54:38.159 the notion of rock Steady games. Oh okay, I just wanted to go 1640 01:54:38.199 --> 01:54:44.640 back all the way into the cookies. Well, buddy, I feel like 1641 01:54:45.159 --> 01:54:46.119 when you said, you're like, I want to be Batman, right, 1642 01:54:46.199 --> 01:54:51.039 Like, yeah, I'm I'm ready to be Batman again. I feel like 1643 01:54:51.239 --> 01:54:56.760 the last one was twenty fifteen, right, is that true night? Yeah, 1644 01:54:56.760 --> 01:54:59.880 that would have been about twenty fifteen. Yeah, so let's go. 1645 01:55:00.199 --> 01:55:03.840 I'm ready, Like, I don't know, I don't know what. I 1646 01:55:03.840 --> 01:55:09.880 don't want to pass judgment on Suicide Squad. I don't want to. But 1647 01:55:10.039 --> 01:55:13.720 also I want to play Batman. I want to be Batman again, and 1648 01:55:13.800 --> 01:55:18.560 I'm ready for like something else with that guy. Are you looking for something 1649 01:55:18.640 --> 01:55:23.239 similar to like the Arkham series or no? I want an evolution. I 1650 01:55:23.279 --> 01:55:26.720 want something. I mean, I like those games are very good, and 1651 01:55:26.760 --> 01:55:29.880 I just don't know how much juice is left to squeeze out of that, 1652 01:55:30.079 --> 01:55:34.399 right, you know, just just bring just let's do something. I think 1653 01:55:34.399 --> 01:55:39.560 that's a great character to play as I don't you know, I don't care 1654 01:55:39.800 --> 01:55:43.279 what we got to do, but like, I just think we're kind of 1655 01:55:43.319 --> 01:55:45.880 there, Like, I don't know it. Maybe perhaps too many of those 1656 01:55:45.920 --> 01:55:49.199 came out and too much of a compressed timeline, which is why we all 1657 01:55:49.279 --> 01:55:54.119 sort of grew a bit tired of it. I understand that that's what happens. 1658 01:55:54.119 --> 01:55:56.800 But now six what is it eight years removed from the last one, 1659 01:55:57.600 --> 01:56:03.159 and uh, I'm gonna good and that itch again and another like Asylum style 1660 01:56:03.199 --> 01:56:06.279 one a little more condensed, not open the world, you know, more 1661 01:56:06.359 --> 01:56:12.079 kind of Metroidvania than g t A. I want that. Yep. Yeah, 1662 01:56:12.079 --> 01:56:14.159 Okay, if we're doing Asylum, I could do that again. I 1663 01:56:14.159 --> 01:56:15.640 could do that. Yeah. If we play through Suicide Squad, I call 1664 01:56:15.720 --> 01:56:19.199 Harley Quinn. I'm just saying, as as the Harley of the team. 1665 01:56:19.319 --> 01:56:25.399 You know, you're the only one with the doctor. Yeah. I don't 1666 01:56:25.439 --> 01:56:30.119 want to be any of those people. Okay, you have to be anyone. 1667 01:56:30.600 --> 01:56:33.680 I have such bad news for you about how video games work. Back, 1668 01:56:33.880 --> 01:56:38.960 are you gonna have to be Captain Boomerang? Who the fuck is that 1669 01:56:39.479 --> 01:56:44.920 gonna be? Captain Boomerang? Captain Boomerang, you can see Suicide Squad or 1670 01:56:45.039 --> 01:56:48.199 the Suicide Squad. New you're familiar with the works of Captain Boomerang, I 1671 01:56:48.279 --> 01:56:53.239 know, I know shocking. I guess I'll be the shark person. No, 1672 01:56:56.359 --> 01:56:59.880 oh, well do you want to be because I'm not playing because some 1673 01:57:00.079 --> 01:57:01.319 in this one you want to be? Dead Shot is a dead shot that's 1674 01:57:01.319 --> 01:57:04.439 in this one dead shot? Oh? I know who dead shot is? 1675 01:57:04.439 --> 01:57:10.079 Is that Will Smith? Anyway, Dan, I thought we could all go 1676 01:57:10.159 --> 01:57:12.880 to a Buffalo Wild Wings when we all go out to packs East, But 1677 01:57:13.000 --> 01:57:16.159 the closest one to the convention center is permanently closed. That's now we're gonna 1678 01:57:16.199 --> 01:57:19.239 there will be plenty of places to go in in Boston. No, specifically 1679 01:57:19.279 --> 01:57:23.000 a Buffalo Wild Wings. I was the guy I don't have to go. 1680 01:57:23.239 --> 01:57:27.840 It was not the travel like the McDonald's in Japan. Okay, like we 1681 01:57:27.840 --> 01:57:30.840 don't have to do that. I still have my captain's jersey from the Buffalo 1682 01:57:30.840 --> 01:57:32.479 Wild Wings in Seattle, from when I stayed there an entire weekend and they 1683 01:57:32.680 --> 01:57:39.359 gave me the remote to the TV and a manager of jersey and in name 1684 01:57:39.399 --> 01:57:44.399 tag they made me a custom name tag. I want to go back. 1685 01:57:44.800 --> 01:57:47.520 God the nearest Buffalo wild Wings. It looks like, oh, it's only 1686 01:57:47.640 --> 01:57:50.840 half an hour by car if we want to do that. It's kind of 1687 01:57:50.840 --> 01:57:58.039 a higher Buffalo wild But even I think that's a bit of a bike. 1688 01:57:58.880 --> 01:58:03.359 I've been to Buffalo. I'm sorry, but you were all insane. It's 1689 01:58:03.399 --> 01:58:10.159 good. There's nothing because they have good. It's good. It's not you're 1690 01:58:10.399 --> 01:58:14.680 like, in a couple of years, you're gonna you're gonna shovel that place 1691 01:58:14.720 --> 01:58:18.520 in the same category as you shovel like TGI Fridays. Correct, that doesn't 1692 01:58:18.520 --> 01:58:23.600 mean it's bad, it's it's fucking tri Also, love a good I love 1693 01:58:23.600 --> 01:58:29.439 a little Fridays. I mean Fridays is probably the best out of all of 1694 01:58:29.479 --> 01:58:35.600 those. I put Red Robin on a higher tier than a TGI Fridays. 1695 01:58:35.920 --> 01:58:41.199 I think they are competitors with each other and therefore you can't But Red Robin 1696 01:58:41.239 --> 01:58:45.279 has bottomless steak fries and will fuck you up. I think that's the fun 1697 01:58:45.319 --> 01:58:50.159 seasoning salted when exist. I just like when diners exist, going to one 1698 01:58:50.159 --> 01:58:56.319 of those you know, worky jerky place. Not everyone has a billion really 1699 01:58:56.319 --> 01:59:00.399 good diners surrounding them, you know, yeah, I know, serve their 1700 01:59:00.399 --> 01:59:04.800 purpose. These these places are good. We're made of a fine taste. 1701 01:59:04.800 --> 01:59:08.760 But yeah, can we we should rank? Like what are they? What 1702 01:59:08.800 --> 01:59:13.920 are those? What are these restaurants called? Like Chipotle like that type of 1703 01:59:13.920 --> 01:59:16.000 thing. Oh, but but Friday is this episode. I would call them 1704 01:59:16.119 --> 01:59:21.159 mid tier chain restaurants. Yeah, chain, like these are Olive Garden, 1705 01:59:21.359 --> 01:59:28.079 these are like those places. But wreckers. Yeah, speaking of trashed here 1706 01:59:28.720 --> 01:59:32.880 mid range restaurants. I uh. We have my mom's seventieth over the weekend 1707 01:59:33.079 --> 01:59:35.520 and we're like, oh, what do you want to do? And she's 1708 01:59:35.600 --> 01:59:42.279 like, oh, I want a big ass lobster dinner. So my brother, 1709 01:59:42.760 --> 01:59:47.640 as the seafood connossour that he is, arranged a wildly delicious lobster dinner, 1710 01:59:47.680 --> 01:59:54.039 the freshest lopster I've had in a very long time. Yeah. All 1711 01:59:54.079 --> 02:00:00.359 the asses on the lobster were enormous. It was crazy, the dut was 1712 02:00:00.399 --> 02:00:05.479 on these lobsters. But I did something I brought introduced a little bit of 1713 02:00:05.479 --> 02:00:09.760 a wild card that I think you'll be on board, h Dan record. 1714 02:00:11.039 --> 02:00:19.279 We went out and got red Lobster biscuit mix. Oh yo. I was 1715 02:00:19.399 --> 02:00:24.079 blown away, Like I haven't been to red lobster in probably fifteen years. 1716 02:00:24.279 --> 02:00:28.680 But the but whenever I would go as a as a small child, I 1717 02:00:28.720 --> 02:00:32.800 would eat six or seven of those biscuits. That's so salt, it's all. 1718 02:00:33.039 --> 02:00:36.560 It's not even that it's fine when you're young. It's probably like twenty 1719 02:00:36.600 --> 02:00:44.680 seven hundred calories or something inhumane. But like, holy shit, you make 1720 02:00:44.720 --> 02:00:50.319 a really good out of those biscuits. Those hits are legit and they and 1721 02:00:50.399 --> 02:00:54.720 now that you can just like add water and throw them in an oven. 1722 02:00:54.880 --> 02:00:58.960 Really Yeah, but I feel like I've only had Red Lobster once, and 1723 02:00:59.119 --> 02:01:02.600 I do remember the biscuits being very good. Are they are sidething else? 1724 02:01:02.800 --> 02:01:06.520 I consider myself a fancy lad when it comes to eating, But I still 1725 02:01:06.560 --> 02:01:13.119 feel like Red Lobster's out of my price range. Some reason, I expectation 1726 02:01:13.279 --> 02:01:16.159 in my head. You live in San Francisco. What are you talking about? 1727 02:01:16.159 --> 02:01:23.239 One taco is like eighteen dollars. Now, that's not a lie mentioned 1728 02:01:23.239 --> 02:01:29.960 the chat. Don't act surprise. But I love Red Lobster. I'm not 1729 02:01:30.079 --> 02:01:32.640 surprised. But let me tell you. Do they sell vegetables there? I 1730 02:01:32.800 --> 02:01:39.760 feel like they don't. No, no, no, there's no there's like 1731 02:01:39.840 --> 02:01:44.159 broccoli and potatoes. You have to think about it. Yeah, No, 1732 02:01:44.279 --> 02:01:47.880 for sure. I went on to TGI Friday's under the promotions tab and apparently 1733 02:01:48.039 --> 02:01:54.079 they've said effet to happy hour because it's happy every hour, nice all day, 1734 02:01:54.119 --> 02:01:57.439 every day. Four dollars cocktails. I don't know how to say that. 1735 02:01:57.439 --> 02:01:59.720 That means none of the hours are a happy hour. They know that, 1736 02:01:59.800 --> 02:02:03.640 right, it's just a sad time. Yeah, you need to add 1737 02:02:04.119 --> 02:02:09.479 on top of that, that's an actual deal. Yeah, four dollars cocktails. 1738 02:02:09.520 --> 02:02:12.199 Wow, someone that doesn't drink a lot lately, I kind of just 1739 02:02:12.239 --> 02:02:16.520 want to go for the vibes for four dollars will get me in the door. 1740 02:02:16.600 --> 02:02:20.319 That's pretty intriguing. I looked in my wall the other day's like, 1741 02:02:20.319 --> 02:02:25.079 oh hey, I got four singles here, let's go. I could have 1742 02:02:25.119 --> 02:02:29.560 went CGI Fridays and got not quite a buzz, but like a drink. 1743 02:02:29.760 --> 02:02:32.039 Perhaps. All right, that does it. About the news, I'm gonna 1744 02:02:32.039 --> 02:02:35.399 switch hats, put on my email's hat and uh, Jeff grab please come 1745 02:02:35.399 --> 02:02:41.560 back. I don't want to do the news by myself ever again. Oh 1746 02:02:41.640 --> 02:02:56.520 god, it's just fucking emails. That's what we're doing now. I know 1747 02:02:56.560 --> 02:02:59.800 how to do these. I read all of them. I cherish all of 1748 02:02:59.840 --> 02:03:01.079 them. No, matter what your message is. And also, folks, 1749 02:03:01.239 --> 02:03:05.159 don't don't worry about the emails. If you say something and like you feel 1750 02:03:05.199 --> 02:03:09.880 bad about it afterwards, don't worry. Just goes over my head. Don't 1751 02:03:09.920 --> 02:03:13.159 trip, chocolate chip. It's all good. Okay, you're implying there's some 1752 02:03:13.159 --> 02:03:15.800 sort of email regret thing going on. Well, you know, like people 1753 02:03:15.880 --> 02:03:21.119 have strong opinions and you know, like voicing concerns and commentary. I'm like, 1754 02:03:21.520 --> 02:03:26.319 you all are entitled to your commentary and concerns. Don't feel bad about 1755 02:03:26.359 --> 02:03:31.159 that. To doubt yourself and feel regret is not necessary, not necessarily something 1756 02:03:31.199 --> 02:03:35.680 I'd like to discourage in the gaming community. I think it's a good instinct. 1757 02:03:36.439 --> 02:03:40.319 Well mostly it's like, hey, if you if you're gonna, if 1758 02:03:40.319 --> 02:03:43.840 you're gonna take the time to eat right in, don't feel bad about it 1759 02:03:43.880 --> 02:03:46.840 right in whatever you got. I completely welcome all emails, whatever they may 1760 02:03:46.880 --> 02:03:53.359 be. Oh, jam, maybe you know I don't feel as exactly the 1761 02:03:53.399 --> 02:04:00.239 way you do, but similar spot would anyone like coupon for jolly Be that 1762 02:04:00.279 --> 02:04:04.920 someone signed us up for huh, there's one around. I'm anti cupa. 1763 02:04:05.399 --> 02:04:09.800 I never seen jelly Be. The other day I was really just craving some 1764 02:04:10.000 --> 02:04:13.920 chicken and spaghetti. That's you know, that's what my people have offered to 1765 02:04:13.960 --> 02:04:18.199 the world. Chicken and spaghetti. Spaghetti. You come with hot dogs. 1766 02:04:21.640 --> 02:04:25.720 God that I don't know what to think anymore. I'm just thinking of Jolly 1767 02:04:25.720 --> 02:04:28.680 be and what I what I what I need in my life for lunch. 1768 02:04:29.680 --> 02:04:32.000 I'll send you a coupon. I'm thinking about shrimp shrimp rings. I don't 1769 02:04:32.000 --> 02:04:39.119 know why shrimp rings, ring, shrimp rings, shrink ring of shrimp? 1770 02:04:39.840 --> 02:04:43.439 Is it a ring of shrimp, a ring for shrimp, a ring by 1771 02:04:43.560 --> 02:04:49.199 shrimp, just like seventy five shrimp in a circular pattern, flanked, all 1772 02:04:49.279 --> 02:04:54.840 flanking a gigantic cocktail target. This is because I brought a cocktail shrimp. 1773 02:04:55.880 --> 02:04:59.119 It's too much shrimp, y'all. I don't know what she was thinking, 1774 02:04:59.399 --> 02:05:01.279 Like, I'm looking at the container every time I open up the fridge, 1775 02:05:01.279 --> 02:05:03.560 and I'm like, what are we going to do with all the shrimp? 1776 02:05:04.279 --> 02:05:09.560 Oh? Did your partner by like a party's worth of shrimp? Or you 1777 02:05:09.600 --> 02:05:12.199 weren't here for that? Yeah, I was. Yeah, she just went 1778 02:05:12.199 --> 02:05:16.479 into Costco to buy contacts, and then she came out with contacts and a 1779 02:05:16.520 --> 02:05:21.640 bunch of cocktail shrimp. I respect that so much, though, like impulse 1780 02:05:21.680 --> 02:05:27.600 buying a platter of cocktail shrimp is a very good bit. Actually, what's 1781 02:05:27.640 --> 02:05:30.640 the was it? Is it impulse buying or like purpose buying? Because she 1782 02:05:30.680 --> 02:05:33.600 looked at me and she already was like, I know what you're gonna say. 1783 02:05:33.720 --> 02:05:36.880 It's because you didn't go with inside with me that I bought the cocktail 1784 02:05:36.920 --> 02:05:40.520 shrimp. You would have said no, And I was like, yeah, 1785 02:05:40.520 --> 02:05:43.279 I would have said no, But here we are with a bunch of shrimp. 1786 02:05:43.520 --> 02:05:45.439 But the funny thing about shrimp is I feel like I'm a bit I 1787 02:05:46.000 --> 02:05:48.880 have like Reiker brain when it comes to shrimp because I'm just like, I 1788 02:05:48.880 --> 02:05:53.279 don't know if shrimp are bad for me. I'm just eating seventy eight of 1789 02:05:53.359 --> 02:05:56.920 them, and I don't know, Like when they look like color, they 1790 02:05:56.920 --> 02:05:59.960 have a lot of fat in them, like what what are here's the right 1791 02:06:00.159 --> 02:06:02.760 brand about shrimp? They taste fine. I like them in popcorn form, 1792 02:06:03.119 --> 02:06:08.159 but I always am confused when I eat the confused and scared when I do 1793 02:06:08.279 --> 02:06:11.680 eat them, because I know it's just like sometimes they have this like tail 1794 02:06:11.720 --> 02:06:14.520 that you eat it and you just die, and I don't know when you 1795 02:06:15.560 --> 02:06:19.479 no, no, billy, bring it up, don't just keep walking, 1796 02:06:19.800 --> 02:06:24.720 just keep walking. I nip over this person. Every once in a while, 1797 02:06:24.720 --> 02:06:26.960 I'll be at a place and I'll get like a nice pasta dish or 1798 02:06:26.960 --> 02:06:29.760 something, and it'll have shrimp in it or something, and it's just like, 1799 02:06:29.920 --> 02:06:31.279 how do you Somebody needs to tell me, like, oh, we 1800 02:06:31.359 --> 02:06:34.279 took all the tails off. You can eat these, and then sometimes you 1801 02:06:34.359 --> 02:06:38.760 have to like take the thing out. But I don't understand the science of 1802 02:06:38.880 --> 02:06:42.399 like when is enough tail gone? So we cut off like the tiniest portion 1803 02:06:42.479 --> 02:06:44.720 of the head that's as far from the tail as possible. And I know 1804 02:06:44.760 --> 02:06:47.000 I'm just wasting a bunch of good meat. But it's just well you shouldn't 1805 02:06:47.000 --> 02:06:50.000 have to worry about this correction. Food should be easier than this. No, 1806 02:06:50.199 --> 02:06:55.479 I'm kind of with you, like I have seen tailed shrimp and just 1807 02:06:55.600 --> 02:06:58.319 for everyone on the show, just for it, so I could speak to 1808 02:06:58.319 --> 02:07:01.199 everyone like usually people remove this detail. Okay, that's just the thing people 1809 02:07:01.319 --> 02:07:04.000 usually do, which is fine. But have whatever you want to do is 1810 02:07:04.039 --> 02:07:06.840 fine though, But yes, I'm with you, Dan, like I've had 1811 02:07:06.880 --> 02:07:12.760 pasta dishes with a shrimp tail intact and I'm like, what the fuck? 1812 02:07:13.079 --> 02:07:15.000 Yeah, why that dealing with us in the kitchen? Why am I doing? 1813 02:07:15.279 --> 02:07:17.800 Like? I shouldn't have to worry about this. I don't know food. 1814 02:07:17.960 --> 02:07:21.399 You do you work at a restaurant, well, a pasta dish should 1815 02:07:21.600 --> 02:07:27.239 absolutely have the tails removed. Okay, because nobody you want the tails? 1816 02:07:27.359 --> 02:07:30.760 Why would you ever want that? I think in like kebab form sometimes day 1817 02:07:30.920 --> 02:07:33.239 on there you want to just eat the thing you want to do work first, 1818 02:07:33.279 --> 02:07:39.399 No, look like Tempora style, they're in there always this always. 1819 02:07:39.399 --> 02:07:43.800 This goes back to my dream of at some point we all just realize at 1820 02:07:43.840 --> 02:07:45.600 steakhouses, if you order a flat mignon and you have, you order a 1821 02:07:45.600 --> 02:07:49.439 stake at a restaurant, fucking cut it in the back before you bring it 1822 02:07:49.439 --> 02:07:53.520 out. Put it in like a waffle maker situation where it's all blazed, 1823 02:07:55.119 --> 02:07:58.079 bring it out, ready to eat. Not here's food. Now, do 1824 02:07:58.119 --> 02:08:01.560 a bunch of bullshit work before you can eat it. Oh you're complaining about 1825 02:08:01.560 --> 02:08:05.760 cutting up a full let correct, No, dancy, you're just wrong. 1826 02:08:05.039 --> 02:08:09.640 You're justly wrong. I want to eat because I don't want to like thirty 1827 02:08:09.720 --> 02:08:16.520 times, do a bunch of this ship Okay, exactly it'll you keep the 1828 02:08:16.600 --> 02:08:22.560 meat together, all the juice juice spray can or something. And if you 1829 02:08:22.680 --> 02:08:28.399 hire servant to cut your food for you, dad to chew my food. 1830 02:08:28.720 --> 02:08:33.479 I wish someone would come over and chew my food and just regurgitate it my 1831 02:08:33.600 --> 02:08:39.600 salad, because baby, I'm not I'm not unreasonable. I own food. 1832 02:08:39.079 --> 02:08:46.079 Then we are like at some point the conversation always hits like the Dan paradox, 1833 02:08:46.119 --> 02:08:48.039 where like you're like you're on board and you're like, yeah, well 1834 02:08:48.119 --> 02:08:52.279 I do shrimp have tails when they're severed? To me, that's ridiculous, 1835 02:08:52.399 --> 02:08:54.319 And then you just go off in a direction. You're like, you know 1836 02:08:54.359 --> 02:08:58.439 what, all food should be pre cut when you're there to relax and have 1837 02:08:58.479 --> 02:09:01.359 a delicious you know, you're not there to do a bunch of busy work. 1838 02:09:01.720 --> 02:09:05.359 You sound like a fucking child. You if you went to a nice 1839 02:09:05.399 --> 02:09:09.600 restaurant and somebody said like, hey, do all this math work, you 1840 02:09:09.640 --> 02:09:11.319 know, before you eat your steak? Would you do that? Like if 1841 02:09:11.359 --> 02:09:20.079 you math after a tip? There is a restaurant. You know, you 1842 02:09:20.119 --> 02:09:22.840 make fun of Dylan a lot, but you sure should have a lot in 1843 02:09:22.840 --> 02:09:31.359 common with him. Real okay cutting himself, Yeah, even even Minati is 1844 02:09:31.399 --> 02:09:35.680 looking at you like this person is beneath me. I mean, come on, 1845 02:09:37.039 --> 02:09:41.600 from a culinary dinner going experience, you got it all. Do you 1846 02:09:41.680 --> 02:09:48.000 enjoy the act of cutting food? Yeah, cutting into a real nice steak, 1847 02:09:48.239 --> 02:09:50.399 checking out the temperature, being like more than eating, you do what 1848 02:09:50.560 --> 02:09:56.039 you eat the eyes of it. You by cutting it, you are customizing 1849 02:09:56.039 --> 02:09:58.880 the stake. You were deciding how much of a bite you win. Restaurant 1850 02:10:00.000 --> 02:10:01.720 and they say like, oh, we got great food inside, but you 1851 02:10:01.720 --> 02:10:05.119 got to mow the lawn first. What No, you're right, that's the 1852 02:10:05.159 --> 02:10:09.359 same thing and your point is really valid. Thank you. You talked you 1853 02:10:09.399 --> 02:10:13.279 have to clean the dishes too, and do exactly see sounds silly, doesn't 1854 02:10:13.319 --> 02:10:20.199 it? Same concept at neutral Okay, jan in here because we all know 1855 02:10:20.319 --> 02:10:26.840 who's lucid and who's delusional. Steve from Kingston the right thing either, the 1856 02:10:26.960 --> 02:10:31.359 right thing either, they write into the show BombCast. Gime bomb dot com 1857 02:10:31.439 --> 02:10:33.359 is email interests to send your emails to just send anything. How were you 1858 02:10:33.439 --> 02:10:37.880 feeling? Whatever you want? Maybe stop signing us up for magazines please, 1859 02:10:37.399 --> 02:10:41.000 hi bomb crew. In summer, I'm heading to New York for a holiday 1860 02:10:41.039 --> 02:10:45.279 with my wife. My wife and six year old son. It's my first 1861 02:10:45.279 --> 02:10:48.600 time in America and I wanted to ask you guys if there's anything you recommend 1862 02:10:48.600 --> 02:10:50.880 doing in New York. Something video game related would be cool. We have 1863 02:10:50.920 --> 02:10:54.880 a Nintendo store on our agenda. Also, any museums you recommend or things 1864 02:10:54.920 --> 02:10:58.319 to go and see that are not so well known to turists. Keep up 1865 02:10:58.359 --> 02:11:01.920 the good work. Steve from Kings Upon Whole, England. Video game wise, 1866 02:11:03.039 --> 02:11:07.000 Nintendo Sore is definitely the number one thing there. I've got some cat 1867 02:11:07.039 --> 02:11:13.760 action going back here with love. Oh god, it looks like it. 1868 02:11:15.359 --> 02:11:18.239 I mean there's barcades and stuff, but like I feel like barcades are not 1869 02:11:18.560 --> 02:11:24.800 uncommon these days. Museum. Oh yeah, that's in Queens right, Yeah, 1870 02:11:24.960 --> 02:11:26.399 yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good idea. Like I love 1871 02:11:26.479 --> 02:11:30.279 that. I was gonna say, just ride the train back and forth forever, 1872 02:11:30.359 --> 02:11:33.600 but they got trains in England. Go to the train museum. The 1873 02:11:33.640 --> 02:11:37.159 met is fantastic. Yes, I used to go there pretty free, like 1874 02:11:37.199 --> 02:11:41.119 live by there and yeah, like the Googs I went to go. Yeah 1875 02:11:41.119 --> 02:11:45.640 that was good. What else? Rent a car and drive on the right 1876 02:11:45.680 --> 02:11:50.279 side of the road. No, do not rent the car city and drive 1877 02:11:50.319 --> 02:11:54.199 around on the right side of the road. Even do that? Could you? 1878 02:11:54.479 --> 02:11:58.439 Like, I almost can't even believe you can do that. They're coming 1879 02:11:58.439 --> 02:12:03.560 from England and they got experience what we have. If you're up for having 1880 02:12:03.600 --> 02:12:07.800 a very bummer afternoon, the nine eleven Museum is actually very well done. 1881 02:12:07.319 --> 02:12:11.600 I would say, yeah, that's worth checking out. Uh tem a museum 1882 02:12:11.680 --> 02:12:16.600 right after keep that vibe going thirty. I don't know if you're a TV 1883 02:12:16.760 --> 02:12:20.399 nerd or anything, I've been, the thirty Rock is interesting historically if you're 1884 02:12:20.399 --> 02:12:24.720 an old like you know, late Night an SNL fan. What else? 1885 02:12:24.840 --> 02:12:31.600 Obviously pizza, commedy sellers like the comedy seller a lot get Chinese food in 1886 02:12:31.680 --> 02:12:33.960 New York. It is better than what you have in England. I promise 1887 02:12:33.960 --> 02:12:37.880 you this. It's going to be very different from what you have in England 1888 02:12:37.920 --> 02:12:41.880 as well. Yeah, I don't know, so it's like such an impossible 1889 02:12:43.079 --> 02:12:46.119 thing to I would I would look, I would steer clear of Time Square. 1890 02:12:46.199 --> 02:12:48.359 I know that's a cliche by now, where it's like, oh I 1891 02:12:48.399 --> 02:12:54.159 have to see it, just sure, sure, sar, Come on, 1892 02:12:54.279 --> 02:12:56.079 do you think someone's going to New York from another country they don't want to 1893 02:12:56.119 --> 02:13:00.239 at least see times Square. I get that it sucks. It does, 1894 02:13:00.399 --> 02:13:03.560 but if you live I'm not saying don't go. I'm not saying I'm not 1895 02:13:03.600 --> 02:13:07.640 saying don't go. I'm just saying, don't carve out three hours for it, 1896 02:13:09.199 --> 02:13:11.000 you know. I but like, you have to understand why somebody would 1897 02:13:11.000 --> 02:13:13.399 want to take that. It's like saying like, oh, yeah, come 1898 02:13:13.439 --> 02:13:15.399 to San Francisco. I don't look at the Golden Gay Bridge. You know. 1899 02:13:15.439 --> 02:13:18.399 It's like, of course, but is the Golden Gate Bridge the third 1900 02:13:18.439 --> 02:13:26.399 circle of Hell? No? Times Square does suck. It does exactly like 1901 02:13:26.479 --> 02:13:30.239 I'm not. You know, maybe maybe you see a show. Maybe I 1902 02:13:30.279 --> 02:13:31.720 would see a Broadway show. I think that's a great thing. Yeah, 1903 02:13:31.720 --> 02:13:35.560 if you can swing that, right, if you could swing that, and 1904 02:13:35.600 --> 02:13:37.880 then you'll basically be close enough to Times Square to just sort of swing by 1905 02:13:37.960 --> 02:13:41.800 and be harassed by someone in an Almo costume, and then you'll be like, 1906 02:13:41.800 --> 02:13:48.439 oh, cool America. Yeah, I mean it's I think it's tough. 1907 02:13:48.479 --> 02:13:52.800 I think I think you should not be scared to ask people for directions. 1908 02:13:52.840 --> 02:13:56.239 I think you should take the subway if you're comfortable with it. I 1909 02:13:56.279 --> 02:14:00.720 think you should explore and walk. I mean the best thing about New York 1910 02:14:00.800 --> 02:14:05.520 is that it's an incredibly walkable city. So I think take advantage of that. 1911 02:14:07.000 --> 02:14:11.640 The highlight highlines, if you want to walk around highlands fantastic. Yeah, 1912 02:14:11.720 --> 02:14:16.359 yeah, I think yeah. I just think, like, uh, 1913 02:14:16.760 --> 02:14:22.000 it doesn't hurt to maybe ask friends who you who have from where. I 1914 02:14:22.039 --> 02:14:24.800 think it's tough also to tell people like what to do based off like not 1915 02:14:24.920 --> 02:14:28.279 knowing the type of people they are. You know what I mean. Family, 1916 02:14:30.880 --> 02:14:33.760 yea, by some hot nuts, Get those nuts. Get those nuts 1917 02:14:35.399 --> 02:14:39.439 and a bagel. Just eat bagels, three meals a day. You'll be 1918 02:14:39.479 --> 02:14:41.199 fine. Yeah. Yeah, I mean that's enough to satisfy a six year 1919 02:14:41.199 --> 02:14:45.760 old, right, just give them a bagel. It's it. I loved 1920 02:14:45.760 --> 02:14:48.479 those Hulal trucks with like the red sauce and the white sauce and stuff, 1921 02:14:48.479 --> 02:14:50.760 and like I never really saw those anywhere else, Like that's a very New 1922 02:14:50.840 --> 02:14:52.359 York thing to me, Like I love those. Yeah, go to a 1923 02:14:52.399 --> 02:14:56.920 food stand, yeah yeah, get some get some street meat. It's always 1924 02:14:56.920 --> 02:15:01.119 a good time. You're you're If you get sick afterwards, you'll be stronger 1925 02:15:01.199 --> 02:15:05.520 from it. Part of the experience. I think it's worth visiting, Like 1926 02:15:05.560 --> 02:15:09.199 all the little villages too, Like every place that has a name, you 1927 02:15:09.239 --> 02:15:11.960 know, whether it's Hell's Kitchen or the village. I think get a little, 1928 02:15:13.039 --> 02:15:15.680 get a little taste of each section of the city. I think people 1929 02:15:15.800 --> 02:15:18.239 really put everything in perspective. Go play Spider Man. If there's something that 1930 02:15:18.319 --> 02:15:22.399 really floats your boat there, go visit it in real life. Yeah, 1931 02:15:22.640 --> 02:15:28.439 if you like any movies set in New York, visit some notable set pieces. 1932 02:15:28.640 --> 02:15:31.199 You know, you'd see the fountain where they almost killed John Wick. 1933 02:15:33.720 --> 02:15:39.920 Anyway, next email comes from Greg from Portland. Hayti Lely Hobombrino's strand is 1934 02:15:39.960 --> 02:15:46.520 the Dutch word for beach. Coincidence, cheers duders for Portland. Strand is 1935 02:15:46.720 --> 02:15:56.199 the Dutch word for beach. I'm assuming they're talking about death stranding. Yeah, 1936 02:15:56.239 --> 02:16:00.800 well, the rumored name for Death Stranding two is something beach. It 1937 02:16:00.880 --> 02:16:07.680 was a Princess beach. I don't think it was Princess Beach beach in yeah, 1938 02:16:07.039 --> 02:16:11.199 back, you know they say that in the game, right, they 1939 02:16:11.239 --> 02:16:13.239 say Mario and Princess Beach and Destrandy. You're aware of that, right, 1940 02:16:13.359 --> 02:16:16.560 okay, okay, yeah, of course, of course, it's not the 1941 02:16:16.560 --> 02:16:20.359 beach that makes you old. It's just a beach not I really was trying 1942 02:16:20.359 --> 02:16:20.920 to think of a way to say the beach that makes you old. I 1943 02:16:20.920 --> 02:16:24.520 should have just said it. You're right, everybody, it's a it's a 1944 02:16:24.560 --> 02:16:28.640 beach strand game is really how that's like the full way you talk about it. 1945 02:16:28.760 --> 02:16:31.399 I mean, doesn't every beach make you old the longer you stay there? 1946 02:16:31.440 --> 02:16:35.959 Like if you do everything, I think everything, everything you do, 1947 02:16:37.159 --> 02:16:41.000 that's just that's just the slow marsh of time. Baby just brings you around 1948 02:16:41.040 --> 02:16:45.079 the sun a little bit faster. God, we should just put that on 1949 02:16:45.079 --> 02:16:50.120 a shirt somehow. What's your brother's no way to do it? No possible 1950 02:16:50.159 --> 02:16:54.840 way. They took the printing press away from us. Uh all right. 1951 02:16:54.239 --> 02:17:01.200 Next email comes from Kenyon from Texas here, and they're writing in response to 1952 02:17:01.520 --> 02:17:05.079 an emailer from last week. Hey bomb cast me again. Just finish the 1953 02:17:05.120 --> 02:17:07.840 last episode and realize me and the guy that messed up his arm are basically 1954 02:17:07.840 --> 02:17:11.600 asked the same basically asked the same question LMAO. To clarify, I'm asking 1955 02:17:11.600 --> 02:17:16.399 about PC games. Hope his arm gets better. If not, he should 1956 02:17:16.399 --> 02:17:20.479 get a PC at Balder's Gate. Three cheers Kenyan from Texas. Uh, 1957 02:17:20.520 --> 02:17:24.799 this person the original emailer they're writing about was asking about good one arm or 1958 02:17:24.799 --> 02:17:30.520 one handed games to play while their arm is healing from tendon surgery. But 1959 02:17:30.559 --> 02:17:33.600 they don't have a PC. Get that PlayStation one controller for RPGs. That 1960 02:17:35.559 --> 02:17:41.000 right, Yeah, just for that, Yeah you could do uh yeah. 1961 02:17:41.000 --> 02:17:45.559 I had also recommended we bowling, but then the concern was that they're going 1962 02:17:45.639 --> 02:17:54.840 to injure their other arm. Mmmm with fantastic fantastic uh. Next email comes 1963 02:17:54.879 --> 02:17:58.600 from Doug from Harrisonburg, Virginia. I'm gonna assume that's what VA is. 1964 02:17:58.639 --> 02:18:01.079 I don't know the states. Yeah, Virginia is that they're right? What 1965 02:18:01.120 --> 02:18:09.520 else would it be? Vegas? No, it's it's it's VA means a 1966 02:18:09.799 --> 02:18:11.520 Virginia. You got it, baby, There we go, There we go. 1967 02:18:11.559 --> 02:18:16.239 I know the states. I remembered all of them from uh MS Desimoni's 1968 02:18:16.280 --> 02:18:22.000 second grade class, Las Vegas. Hell about BombCast friends. I'm catching up 1969 02:18:22.040 --> 02:18:26.399 on the BombCast and Jeff Beckler mentioned adding the cast of Cheers as skins in 1970 02:18:26.479 --> 02:18:30.680 Call of Duty multiplayer. I'm an older gamer. I forgot that, and 1971 02:18:30.760 --> 02:18:37.120 I request that the BombCast uses its influence to empower to get alf and or 1972 02:18:37.600 --> 02:18:41.559 mister Belvidere as Skins in Call of Duty. If you attempt a tea bag 1973 02:18:41.559 --> 02:18:46.440 with mister Belvidere, you will you will day because of the one time mister 1974 02:18:46.479 --> 02:18:50.760 Belvidere sat on his balls while shooting the show. Thanks Doug from Harrisonburg, 1975 02:18:50.840 --> 02:18:54.280 Virginia. That's such a weird thing that everyone knows or something right about. 1976 02:18:54.639 --> 02:19:00.879 Mister bel Belvidere do that once and it haunted them for ever. Yeah, 1977 02:19:01.239 --> 02:19:05.120 it's like the Marilyn Manson rib thing. It's just like one of these string 1978 02:19:05.639 --> 02:19:09.520 Yeah, right, Like you're like, what, no, obviously Alf in 1979 02:19:09.639 --> 02:19:16.840 Call of Duty? Is the movie good? I mean I would take for 1980 02:19:16.920 --> 02:19:22.040 alf. Oh yeah yeah, but Bailey's right, like the hip box on 1981 02:19:22.120 --> 02:19:26.200 ALF is gonna be rough, like like four feet tall. Yeah, don't 1982 02:19:26.200 --> 02:19:33.399 they have groot? And that's good? That was good. Grenade out like 1983 02:19:33.399 --> 02:19:37.879 like, let me stay Frosty. Can we get a take? I just 1984 02:19:37.920 --> 02:19:43.319 stop laughing all that. I do feel like stave Frosty. You know what 1985 02:19:43.440 --> 02:19:48.719 I say, Stay Frosty. So many classic sitcom characters that would you greet 1986 02:19:48.760 --> 02:19:50.639 in Call of Duty? Friend Dresher, can we get a nanny? Call 1987 02:19:50.680 --> 02:20:01.600 of al Borland? A Camo flannel? He's I don't. I don't think 1988 02:20:01.639 --> 02:20:07.719 his his voice over his soundbites would be as exciting as friends, though he 1989 02:20:07.799 --> 02:20:11.799 would have very exciting sound bites, like the nanny in Call of Duty is 1990 02:20:13.000 --> 02:20:16.200 really doing it for me in the theater of my mind here? Yeah, 1991 02:20:16.639 --> 02:20:22.280 you know, apparently they've added or are adding the Walking Dead characters to Call 1992 02:20:22.319 --> 02:20:26.959 of Duty? Does this interest you, Jeff, it doesn't. I'm sorry, 1993 02:20:26.000 --> 02:20:31.200 it just doesn't. They're gonna risk me less interested in Call of d 1994 02:20:31.600 --> 02:20:37.239 which to me didn't feel possible. It's fun to put things that don't belong 1995 02:20:37.879 --> 02:20:45.799 in Call of Duty, like burdenery. Yeah, exactly, like put motherfucking 1996 02:20:46.000 --> 02:20:52.120 snuffle of Ficus in Call of Duty. Adults can't see him, Yeah, 1997 02:20:52.120 --> 02:20:58.079 he's Big Brud's imaginary friend. I don't think I knew that he was imaginary, 1998 02:20:58.239 --> 02:21:03.159 and I got a lot of ship to fail. He's real, inas 1999 02:21:03.239 --> 02:21:09.079 much as any of the Sesame Street characters are sure saying in the canon of 2000 02:21:09.200 --> 02:21:11.840 the show, is say, Bird's imaginary friend? What do you? No 2001 02:21:11.920 --> 02:21:16.959 one can see him? They're all real? Are the adults can't? The 2002 02:21:16.040 --> 02:21:20.239 adults cannot see snuffle off? I guess yeah, because he's a Big Bird's 2003 02:21:20.280 --> 02:21:26.559 imaginary friend. He's a giant like elephant, if I'm not mistaken. They 2004 02:21:26.639 --> 02:21:31.399 pivoted on that later because they thought optically it was bad to tell kids that 2005 02:21:31.479 --> 02:21:35.959 adults won't believe them if they tell them stuff. Oh Jesus, okay, 2006 02:21:37.399 --> 02:21:41.840 initially he was Big Bird's imaginary friend. Yeah, okay, all right, 2007 02:21:41.879 --> 02:21:46.639 I'm glad they walked that back. Oh so, yes, I think that's 2008 02:21:46.680 --> 02:21:50.280 what's fun about call of duty, Like Shredder is in call of duty, 2009 02:21:50.799 --> 02:21:54.680 and as it insane as it sounds like, it's just funny. It's just 2010 02:21:54.760 --> 02:21:58.920 funny. Like even Spawn, who's like just a violent person, being in 2011 02:22:00.040 --> 02:22:05.360 call of duty feels ridiculous. Obviously, Nicki Minaj is like a total farce, 2012 02:22:05.440 --> 02:22:09.360 right, Like what is happening? Oh my god? I heard about 2013 02:22:09.360 --> 02:22:13.799 that they should capitalize on the food and get Megan in there too. I 2014 02:22:13.840 --> 02:22:20.040 heard about that through I don't I buy twenty How I gotta put my I 2015 02:22:20.040 --> 02:22:22.799 gotta put my money on the side. I believe it exactly. This is 2016 02:22:22.840 --> 02:22:28.959 how wrapper beefs should be settled. Now, just buying call duty? Who 2017 02:22:30.040 --> 02:22:33.120 sells them? But yeah, put alf in call duty. I guess we 2018 02:22:33.360 --> 02:22:35.920 buy six to be tall, like I would buy a Tony Yeo skin in 2019 02:22:35.959 --> 02:22:39.600 twenty twenty four. Sure, just so we can Rea, Just so I 2020 02:22:39.600 --> 02:22:43.920 can yell at someone like Ayo fifty. If you know what all the like 2021 02:22:43.959 --> 02:22:45.920 Snake Oil and n FT people said about, like, oh, you'll be 2022 02:22:45.920 --> 02:22:48.000 able to buy the skin, you can use it in Minecraft and Call of 2023 02:22:48.079 --> 02:22:50.920 Duty. If that actually worked that way, can you imagine if you got 2024 02:22:50.959 --> 02:22:54.840 Tony Yao, Oh my, you could be him and Mario Kart. Hell 2025 02:22:54.959 --> 02:23:01.280 yeah, I'm Tony Yeo in uh in top key and Batwa, I'd get 2026 02:23:01.360 --> 02:23:09.280 Lloyd Bank like wow, oh man, all right. Last email of the 2027 02:23:09.319 --> 02:23:15.399 show comes from Giuseppe in Las Vegas, and Giuseppe is always fun name from 2028 02:23:15.840 --> 02:23:20.000 from where last Vegas? There we go, Thank you, thank you, 2029 02:23:20.159 --> 02:23:24.319 hiall. I started playing the New Prince of Persia Parenthesis, a great game, 2030 02:23:24.360 --> 02:23:26.520 and I've been using the bird companion charm that came with the Deluxe edition. 2031 02:23:28.000 --> 02:23:31.600 The screech that the bird makes every three seconds for seemingly no reason, 2032 02:23:31.840 --> 02:23:37.040 Oh god, is the most annoying sound in a video game I've ever experienced. 2033 02:23:37.600 --> 02:23:39.559 Do you all have a particular sound from a game that seared into your 2034 02:23:39.600 --> 02:23:43.959 memory at this point for being so annoying? Have a great week Giuseppe in 2035 02:23:45.079 --> 02:23:50.479 Las Vegas. I mean, I think the famous one is Navvy in Ockerineum 2036 02:23:50.520 --> 02:23:56.760 Time listen that. Oh yeah. It's like the thing for me is like 2037 02:23:56.840 --> 02:24:01.680 I do have like like audio issue use If there is a loud, repeating 2038 02:24:01.959 --> 02:24:05.399 noise, it drives me to a rage that makes me unable to play the 2039 02:24:05.440 --> 02:24:11.639 game, and so like I can't do the like Dionysus dash in Hades because 2040 02:24:11.639 --> 02:24:16.200 it makes that like unrelenting sound and you can't get it to stop. So 2041 02:24:16.319 --> 02:24:18.280 even if it's good, I'll never fucking use it because it's awful. But 2042 02:24:18.360 --> 02:24:24.079 the major one that I can think of is definitely in Grim Fandango when you're 2043 02:24:24.079 --> 02:24:31.559 in the undersea area and Glottis is like doing his bullshit. I don't know, 2044 02:24:31.639 --> 02:24:37.239 there's so many scenes where Glottis is just repeatedly making noise, terrible noises 2045 02:24:37.280 --> 02:24:41.000 with his mouth over and over and over again. That made me hate that 2046 02:24:41.079 --> 02:24:48.760 big orange buffoon and want him dead. Uh. Certain car sounds in some 2047 02:24:48.840 --> 02:24:52.479 games, like games that like we're driving isn't the main mechanic, but you 2048 02:24:52.559 --> 02:24:56.639 jump in a car sometimes like the engine is just like a repeated loop of 2049 02:24:56.680 --> 02:25:05.159 like five seconds, or just oh, I think that's a U problem. 2050 02:25:05.399 --> 02:25:07.760 Yeah, I should get that car checked out. You had to check that 2051 02:25:07.760 --> 02:25:11.239 out. Jesseppe has an update from their email. Hey'all. I wanted 2052 02:25:11.280 --> 02:25:15.399 to provide a quick update on this. It turns out that my bird companion 2053 02:25:15.559 --> 02:25:18.639 was bugged and was literally making the I found treasure noise on a constant loop. 2054 02:25:20.360 --> 02:25:22.520 That must be because I was thinking, like I had that turned on 2055 02:25:22.600 --> 02:25:24.600 the whole game too, and I was like, I don't really remember that 2056 02:25:24.639 --> 02:25:28.959 being an issue. I remember being annoyed by the birds. Oh, I 2057 02:25:28.000 --> 02:25:31.479 don't remember the bird being useful at all when I was playing. Yeah, 2058 02:25:31.520 --> 02:25:35.280 it's it's it's not implemented super well, I think. I, you know, 2059 02:25:35.399 --> 02:25:39.360 command to Conquer if you were low on silos and silos needed silos needed, 2060 02:25:39.399 --> 02:25:41.639 Like it was just because it's like as boring thing to build in that 2061 02:25:41.680 --> 02:25:43.760 games, Like, I don't want to build fucking silos. Shut up. 2062 02:25:45.399 --> 02:25:48.520 Yeah. Any game that like does some sort of siren or like repeating like 2063 02:25:48.680 --> 02:25:54.399 red warning on health is like so historically yeah, yeah, oh my god, 2064 02:25:54.440 --> 02:25:58.079 that is. Oh, I guess the music sting and the sound effects. 2065 02:25:58.120 --> 02:26:05.639 When Sonic was running out of breath Underwater, there was like some sort 2066 02:26:05.680 --> 02:26:09.479 of setting on games. Like I actually do think it's kind of an accessibility 2067 02:26:09.479 --> 02:26:13.879 thing to not be able to turn off repetitive sounds or whatever. Like, 2068 02:26:13.920 --> 02:26:16.840 I think more games to consider offering that as an option. Not that Nintendo 2069 02:26:16.879 --> 02:26:20.559 will ever let you adjust the sound in any customizable way on any of their 2070 02:26:20.559 --> 02:26:24.079 games anyway, but I do think it kind of does boil down to an 2071 02:26:24.079 --> 02:26:28.840 accessibility issue, and well, gaming companies should consider that. You know, 2072 02:26:28.000 --> 02:26:31.920 we we say that about Nintendo, but they did let you turn off the 2073 02:26:31.040 --> 02:26:37.639 voice of the Flower in Mario Brothers. Wonder or I did it immediately? 2074 02:26:37.520 --> 02:26:46.079 Flowers? No, I hate the flower Flowers, but he's a nice guy. 2075 02:26:46.399 --> 02:26:52.000 I hope the flower goes to Hell and suffers tremendously. Well, let's 2076 02:26:52.040 --> 02:26:58.559 not say something we can wow jesus, folks, that is That is it 2077 02:26:58.760 --> 02:27:03.799 for the giant BombCast Bailey. We don't do shouts shouts outs any more because 2078 02:27:03.799 --> 02:27:07.600 they were killing me. They were literally giving me so much pain that people 2079 02:27:07.799 --> 02:27:13.920 just be too elaborate. I will say that people have continued doing the shouts 2080 02:27:13.920 --> 02:27:16.399 out shoutouts, and then one of them is a shrimp in popcorn form. 2081 02:27:16.840 --> 02:27:22.159 You know, that's just fun to think about. It's Bill what Jen? 2082 02:27:22.479 --> 02:27:30.360 Yes, your shout outs lasted way less than my postcards. If you if 2083 02:27:30.399 --> 02:27:33.399 you want to go, we can keep going. Like I'm just saying, 2084 02:27:33.879 --> 02:27:35.680 how long did postcards last? Dan? What do you think? Oh? 2085 02:27:35.840 --> 02:27:41.440 A year? God, it felt like a decade. It did feel like 2086 02:27:41.479 --> 02:27:43.319 a decade. Actually. Also, sorry, I can't believe we got through 2087 02:27:43.319 --> 02:27:48.159 that who last email without the baby for me? She's island crying. Oh 2088 02:27:48.600 --> 02:27:52.360 oh sure, sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what. 2089 02:27:52.479 --> 02:27:56.600 Here's here's the here's what we'll do Backlar. We'll do shout out shout outs 2090 02:27:56.600 --> 02:28:01.200 in the form of postcards. If you send your postcards that Backlar, he'll 2091 02:28:01.239 --> 02:28:05.479 read the shout out. Yeah yeah you can read that. Can I walk 2092 02:28:05.520 --> 02:28:11.680 this back office twenty eight East twenty eighth Street. Yeah, it's all fooves 2093 02:28:11.680 --> 02:28:20.159 now, so don't worry. The first floor is cheez. I mean we 2094 02:28:20.200 --> 02:28:24.000 can know. Hey, kisses on the cheek never went anywhere. I started 2095 02:28:24.040 --> 02:28:28.200 offering kisses on the mouth, but no one ever wants to accept them or 2096 02:28:28.000 --> 02:28:31.440 claim them, you know, so whatever, kiss on the mouth are tough 2097 02:28:31.959 --> 02:28:37.239 everyone. Most people enjoy a peck on the cheek and you know that's fine. 2098 02:28:37.280 --> 02:28:39.040 But yeah, on the mouth is aggressive.

Yeah, literally asked for this and he's getting it 2118 02:30:07.639 --> 02:30:13.319 and we're all better for it. Is he still wearing the bottle, that 2119 02:30:13.680 --> 02:30:16.479 guy, even though that was included, like he asked me.

It's on every paladins their bottle. I just love that he's 2124 02:30:28.520 --> 02:30:33.959 like voluntarily like walking over the coals on this and I just think it's awesome. 2125 02:30:33.959 --> 02:30:35.440 Why know, And I think he knows that people like he is so 2126 02:30:35.559 --> 02:30:39.840 good at playing these games and the costumes and everything that I think it's really 2127 02:30:39.840 --> 02:30:41.159 cool that he was like, Okay, I'll permanent host this thing. You 2128 02:30:41.159 --> 02:30:45.799 know. It's like that, yeah, we started like a revolving door thing, 2129 02:30:45.840 --> 02:30:48.079 but like you know, yeah, Mike taking up the Mantle and saying 2130 02:30:48.120 --> 02:30:50.680 I got this guy.

Very exciting. It is looking like we have it at twelve thirty 2142 02:31:39.200 --> 02:31:43.040 Eastern because I think we have some heart outs. So twelve thirty yes Eastern, 2143 02:31:43.120 --> 02:31:46.280 we will be going live and they will have ninety minutes to complete their 2144 02:31:46.280 --> 02:31:52.239 tasks. Should we just call it Dan doco? M good kind of a 2145 02:31:52.280 --> 02:31:54.959 slam dunk, you know, I call him Doco, call it Don Docodare, 2146 02:31:56.079 --> 02:31:58.680 and then realize that only a few of the missions are set on Don 2147 02:31:58.760 --> 02:32:03.239 Doco islands, So oh that's fine. Yeah yeah, yeah he double dare. 2148 02:32:03.239 --> 02:32:05.479 You're not always taking the dare or the physical challenge. And then the 2149 02:32:05.879 --> 02:32:09.840 final Yeah yeah yeah, I love the physical channel. God, I always 2150 02:32:09.840 --> 02:32:11.879 go for the physical. It wouldn't be that hard to find that flag in 2151 02:32:11.879 --> 02:32:16.040 that nose, Like everyone took way too long to find that. Yeah, 2152 02:32:16.040 --> 02:32:20.200 they were just were working it. We just didn't want to get dirty some 2153 02:32:20.239 --> 02:32:22.239 people, you know, you want you got to be ready.
