00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:30.839
Hey everybody, It's Tuesday, April
twenty third, twenty twenty four. Welcome

2
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:35.679
to the Giant BombCast powered by NZXT. I am your host, Jan Okhoa.

3
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:40.399
Guys, we got a special episode
today because we're doing a three hour

4
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:47.920
spoiler cast for Rebel Moon Part two, and we got our the Snyder bros.

5
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:57.520
Here. We got the biggest Rebel
Mooner gooner. Yes, I'm gooding

6
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.320
to Rebel Moon and it's happening.
Everybody stop me. I don't care what

7
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:07.200
my parents say. We we we
got the biggest Zach Snyder cut tweeter in

8
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.959
the world, Dan Rikert, give
me the elevator pitch for Rebel Moon what

9
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:17.319
is it? And all bad Star
Wars. Oh, we got an executive

10
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:23.000
producer himself of Rebel Moon Part four. That's right, we're skipping three because

11
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.359
we're so ambitious. We're gonna go
straight to the director's cut for that one.

12
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.159
Mike Minati. Yeah, Star Wars
they started with four, we're gonna

13
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.439
do four. Third. We're really
looking at the future. Jeff, have

14
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.120
you seen part two? Because I
get these ads for it. I'm like,

15
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.480
man if Jeff Grubb as it's seen
this because he's the only person in

16
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:42.840
the world I know who at least
watched part one and then they're in trouble.

17
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:46.879
I've not watched it yet, but
I will. I will make time

18
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:52.439
for part Part one is so inane. It is so like it's like hard

19
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.640
to explain how bad it is.
It just like actual figures bumping against each

20
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.680
other with like no yeah, and
that's like not even like not yeah,

21
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:04.480
kind but not even the action figures
have like character and something to that.

22
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:07.080
It's worse. It's worse than that. Yeah, it's like you're just going

23
00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:10.080
to a place talking to a guy. The guy joins your team, you

24
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:13.319
go to the next place, and
that's the whole movie. It was a

25
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:15.560
build toward literally nothing. Maybe I'll
find out in part two, I guess.

26
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:20.840
And they gave Zack Snyder a Star
Wars. Yes, well, a

27
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.319
Star Wars, like yeah, a
national Star Wars. I mean, oh

28
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:28.240
okay, Netflix did to be clear, and it's not Star Wars. It's

29
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.680
a bad it's a bad to rip
off the Star Wars. Oh really,

30
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:36.280
it is not licensed. This is
not a Star Wars. This was his

31
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.280
idea for Star Wars. It's seven
Samurai is what is what he's trying to

32
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.719
say I'm gonna make a Star Wars
seven Samurai, which they've done a bunch

33
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:44.280
of times before. That movie just
exists that it's good, and you probably

34
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:47.439
there's like there's like fifty remakes of
seven Samurai, but he's like, I'll

35
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:53.400
do it in space. Just really
shitty. And you got the Magnificent seven

36
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.400
remake with Chris Pratt. Chris Pratt. Yeah, you think if I've ever

37
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:01.560
liked Zack Snyder movie he uh,
watch Man? Was he Since City?

38
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:05.000
That one? Since he came out? I liked it. I don't know

39
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.039
if I would like it. It's
okay, what's the what's the undead movie?

40
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:14.400
He did dead? That was the
old Batista the Dead? Oh okay,

41
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.439
oh he did that old down the
Dead. Yeah they like one or

42
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:21.240
whatever? That was? Dan?
You really you really like Legend of the

43
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.199
Guardians the Owls of Gahoul, right, well of course, yes, yes,

44
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:30.280
yeah, yeah. He did not
do the Since City? But was

45
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:37.879
he his sucker could not stand?
I like to find at the time,

46
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:40.719
so I once that was enough of
that. I didn't like Man of Steel.

47
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.439
I hate Man of Steel with a
passion. I don't think I like

48
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:49.719
Superman. I like Superman fine.
I just hate Man of Steel and like

49
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.439
the weird like what a weird direction
for Superman or that scene where like his

50
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:58.280
father fucking dies in a tornado to
save a dog and Superman is like,

51
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.479
I'll say he like gives him a
little like no, it's not worth it.

52
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.280
I was about to die. I'm
like, yeah, quick, Superman,

53
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:08.439
sid hurry up. Who cares that
they FRONTU? Your Superman will make

54
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:12.639
it work. We'll figure it out. I'm afraid of dying. I mean

55
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.280
it was actually way worse than because
there's a scene where he's like, should

56
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:17.759
I let the bus full of kids
die? And he's like, maybe that's

57
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.399
what the dad says. He's like, wait, what, I was a

58
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:24.319
hero. I just did the thing
where I had a dumb thought and then

59
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:26.319
I thought, oh wait, no, that's really stupid. And most people

60
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:28.839
would just leave it in their brain, but I'm gonna say it. We

61
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:30.759
were talking about Zack Snyder and I
was about to ask if he was the

62
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:35.439
Snyder cut. Guy realized, not
even putting the connection together, Oh that's

63
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:40.360
just the name. That's of course, he's the Snyder's cut. Wait,

64
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:45.480
so what was he made a Justice
League movie? He didn't finish a Justice

65
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:49.120
League movie originally because he had a
family emergency, right what's his face?

66
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:56.240
Stepped into finish it. Josh Sweden, Joshed uh reshot a whole bunch of

67
00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:00.839
stuff. The movie was apparently very
drastically differ friend than house Snyder originally envisioned.

68
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:05.319
It was so Baddy got canceled afterwards
exactly that's the only reason. Yep,

69
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:10.720
yep, He's never done anything else
wrong. Uh. And then Zack

70
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:15.839
Snyder comes back in, and then
uh with HBO, man want the Snyder

71
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:17.120
cut, We want the Snyder cut. And then years later they gave him

72
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.839
a lot of money to like finish
filming it and finish for the post production,

73
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:26.240
and they released it as a four
hour cut on HBO Max and then

74
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:32.920
like it it's actually okay, really
yeah, I mean compared to what I

75
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:36.680
was expecting, it's kind of okay
okay. And and here's the part where

76
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:41.480
I think Grub and I are freaks. It's because they also made a version

77
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:46.519
that was black and white, and
is there is there also a four by

78
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.519
three one? It's like, I
think it's four by three? Yeah,

79
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:54.199
And I'm just so into that shit. I was like, all right,

80
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:56.680
let's do it. Okay. I
definitely put that on as well. I

81
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.240
watched it like the normal way first, and then I had that on the

82
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:03.000
background. Yeah. Yeah, so
we're just all Snyder pilled here, everybody

83
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:08.560
happening. Did y'all see that he's
trying to get more traction for another Snyder

84
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:13.560
cut for Sucker Punch? Oh?
Gross? How is it not a Snyder

85
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:15.319
cut? Originally? I don't know. I think that's just something he says

86
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.319
to get more money. Now,
yeah, at this point, now everything's

87
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:24.240
Snyder cut. To be fair,
there was like reporting that the Snyder cut

88
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:26.879
stuff that, like the when the
public was saying, hey, we want

89
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.439
the Snyder cut, we want the
Snyder cut. Like he was like somewhat

90
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:33.319
behind that and like responsible for like
generating a lot of the toxicity there.

91
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:38.519
So it seems like he wields this
as a weapon, I think, and

92
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:44.360
I think that's what's happening. Yeah. Other God, the director of Fantastic

93
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.600
Four, the one with Michael B. Jordan, he started he started saying

94
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:51.560
stuff of like just trank. Yes, he was like, well, you

95
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:56.079
know, I didn't get my cut
of the movie. Let me recut Fantastic

96
00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:00.959
four and it'll make sense. You
can't see that one you see, Oh

97
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.959
it's wild. The best is uh
whenever they because they did a lot of

98
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:08.079
reshoots because like, at first,
it's this movie that's really bad tickets,

99
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:11.000
so seriously to try to fix it, they did all these reshoots, tried

100
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.920
to inject MCU style humor in it, and you could tell because Kate Mara

101
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.560
has this very fake look a wig
on it. All of those seeds k

102
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:24.000
back reshoots and it's like, suddenly
these seeds have levity and one liners.

103
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:29.360
Yeah that's really fan's right, fantom
stick it's uh, and yeah, Miles

104
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:32.399
Teller is in it, right,
that's him. That's fantastic. And it's

105
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:36.879
weird because they caught him in an
odd period of his career where he's just

106
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:41.839
like a dork. Yes, it
was really. It was very soon after

107
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:45.480
Whiplash, so like you was still
kind of the Whiplash kid at that point.

108
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.040
Yeah, he's not not cool hot
guy from Top Gun Maverick just like

109
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:54.240
seeming with a shirt off. We
should do that. We should just play

110
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:59.639
the Top Gun Maverick double football scene
this summer game fest. You'll doe that

111
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:01.879
movie on stage, I really?
Oh yeah, yeah, just on a

112
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:07.120
stage somewhere. Yeah, okay,
all right, we One Republic should be

113
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:09.480
fine to license, right. Oh
yeah, they're they're chill, is what

114
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:13.439
I hear about One Republic? Yeah? Yeah, how's everyone else doing?

115
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.839
Besides you know, half of us
getting drastically sick? Twenty third in the

116
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:24.920
world at quackshot from twenty two top
twenty. What is your goal here?

117
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.199
What's your what's what do you think? Are you not really thinking of it

118
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.959
like that? I would like to
get top twenty. I'd love to get

119
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.600
a sub twenty five minute time.
I don't know if I can go.

120
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.840
Do you know about the long jump
thing? Yeah, there's like a pause

121
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.559
buffer long jump situation seems insane.
I've tried to learn it. I've tried

122
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.480
to, Like, I read how
to do it, and I'm like,

123
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.600
I don't even know if that's I
don't even know what I'm reading. So

124
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.200
and I think you kind of needed
to get in that upper echelon. But

125
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.759
I'm getting really good and I'm still
very improvable right now with my current strategies.

126
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.279
So it's a fun, fun speed
run. It's just way till I

127
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:00.960
jump in there to push you,
which I want you soon I go I

128
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.200
have to give some more mythology attempts. Like last time I did that,

129
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.240
it went very bad, so I
took kind of a week off. I'm

130
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.399
going to go back in. It's
I'm out a weird place right now with

131
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:13.600
it where I got to really grind
it out or try to learn like really

132
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.960
hard new strets to save a few
seconds, and just learning them is like

133
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.120
very difficult, and it's kind of
not happening and it's frustrating. So that's

134
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.000
how I figure out my future.
The fun part of speed running is when

135
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.720
you start figuring out what to do, and like every time you play it,

136
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.519
you're getting a new PD. And
then the rough part is when it's

137
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:33.679
like, okay, I need like
every second at this point, and your

138
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.279
restarting runs from one tiny mistake.
It's but it's so much fun. It's

139
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.360
it's great finding the right game.
Yeah yeah, yeah, Greb, it

140
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:45.519
looked like you were gearing up to
say something. Yeah, my daughter had

141
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.879
a tick yesterday. That's what that's
the season that we're in. It's tick

142
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.480
season everybody and it's getting their tiktoks
like man, it's right, yeah,

143
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.879
it's everywhere. It was she like
like I got a bug on me.

144
00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:58.279
I'm like, what do you talk
about it? Once to go check and

145
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.159
there was just like an obvious tick
right on her leg. It wasn't on

146
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:03.919
there too long. But it's like, man, yeah, I don't think

147
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.240
I went my entire life camping outside. I don't think I ever got a

148
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.440
tick. Now, And then I've
been you hearing the news forever. It's

149
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.639
like they're everywhere, and now I'm
like, Okay, this is what I'm

150
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.200
gonna have to deal with now.
It was nice when we lived in Colorado,

151
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.759
like I think the altitude made it
so there we're way fewer of them,

152
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:20.559
and now we're here in Ohio and
that's like, yeah, I think

153
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.720
she just went out for recess came
back with one one. It's testing for

154
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:30.559
like you know, anything, so
we're gonna like keep an eye on it

155
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.120
for like rashes and stuff and things
like that, like we will, but

156
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.679
it's like we'd call the doctor and
it's like there's not much you can do,

157
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:37.919
so you just got to like kind
of keep an eye on it.

158
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.279
But it most of the time,
they're like the tick needs to be on

159
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:45.480
there for like thirty six to forty
eight hours for that to happen. It

160
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:48.000
definitely wasn't on there anywhere near that. SOB, do you think you weren't

161
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:54.720
susceptible to ticks because you would always
wear those silver bracelets that warded off ticks

162
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.639
and bad vibes and energy? Yeah? Yeah, am my shell necklaces.

163
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.279
Yes, I think that, just
like it let the ticks know that I'm

164
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:05.039
cool and not to fuck with this
guy. Okay, I went to the

165
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.919
Smithsonian once and got a tick on
my balls. All right, video games,

166
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.759
my mom lit a needle on fire
and had to put it on my

167
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:22.720
balls. Speaking about parenthood, no, I'm not gonna seguay to that.

168
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:31.320
I've been playing an RPG, a
tale as old as time. You didn't

169
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:39.240
chronicles. Boys, this is a
fantastic year for role playing games JRPGs,

170
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.919
specifically year of RPGs. Right,
we get we started the year with like

171
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:48.000
a Dragon Rebirth, Dragon's Dogma two, or yeah, reload as well.

172
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.279
I'm not going to give you Dragons
Dogma two. We don't claim that.

173
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.159
Well, not j RPG, just
an RP that's an action adventure game for

174
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.759
cool dudes. That's that's like Zelda
Ye. Speaking of Dragons Dogma two,

175
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.200
I really gotta circle back to that, I feel like I fell off in

176
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:07.720
a hard way during It's Cool,
though Grub fell off really hard and then

177
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:16.399
Dark much caught them. But iudn
Chronicles is. I don't mean to be

178
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.960
reductive when I say this, but
it is as boiler plate and as normal

179
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.320
of an RPG as you can get, and I think in a year with

180
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:30.759
so many strong contenders, is very
hard to decide to devote a substantial amount

181
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.960
of time to this. It's not
that it's not doing anything new or it's

182
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.200
not presenting anything well. I just
I just don't dig anything about it,

183
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.840
and nothing is grabbing me. It
is a pretty standard RPG. You have

184
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.360
a big party of six, which
I enjoy. I like having a massive

185
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:52.159
amount of people to command, and
it's doing the thing where okay, cool,

186
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:56.759
your turn orders displayed up top,
go ahead and target enemies to get

187
00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:01.720
them out of that. There's team
up attacks between certain party members if they

188
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.080
have some affinity towards each other.
It does the two and a half D

189
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.559
style, but I don't think it
does it well. And it's really a

190
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:16.639
bummer because when you have games like
Octopath Traveler two Star Ocean from last year

191
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.679
that really pull off this style and
make it look flashy in a great way.

192
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.399
It kind of falls short of all
of that, and also in like

193
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:28.639
the three D world that you're navigating
around, some of it is a little

194
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:33.799
bit confusing as to what you can
actually walk through that I wound up playing

195
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.480
a lot of the game through the
mini map, which is a bit of

196
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:41.440
a bummer. That being said,
I mean, like, if you were

197
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:43.320
looking for a bog standard JRPG,
this might be it for you. But

198
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:48.840
like, even the story from the
chunk that I was playing through wasn't enough

199
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:54.039
to grab me. It's not an
Isa Kai where you're like you've forgotten your

200
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:56.759
memories and you've wound up somewhere.
You're just like a military dude with cool

201
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:01.679
hook swords that remind me of key
blades. So that enticed me for a

202
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:03.440
bit, and you got a cool
wolf guy in your party to begin with.

203
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:11.519
Like when you have something like Persona
three reload in the back of your

204
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:16.639
backlog, it's really hard to justify
dedicating a lot of time to this because

205
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:24.600
it's also follows like JRPG format,
where the build up is so long to

206
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:30.279
get to anything substantial of like a
good set piece or whatever. Huh.

207
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:35.000
So I've been curious about this.
This is you know, made by the

208
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.080
sweak it In guy, and it's
supposed to just basically be you know,

209
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:41.200
sweak it In with a new name, without you know, having to worry

210
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.960
about Konami. And they're very clearly
or try specifically trying to be like,

211
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:46.279
hey, swik it into. Everyone
loves that game. We're going to try

212
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:50.799
to make a spiritual success here,
which is a tall order, like amongst

213
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:54.080
the j RPG freaks, sweak it
Into a toe up on such a high

214
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.279
pillar. So I haven't played this
yet, but just kind of seeing,

215
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.559
you know, like like the meda
credit or whatever is like a seventy eight

216
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:05.799
or seventy six, which is upsetting
for somebody who has this in their fantasy

217
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.840
critic. You know, I was
simply hoping that there'd be more enthusiasm.

218
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:11.840
I hear mixed things. I hear
it's mixed. Yeah. Becau's people would

219
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:15.120
give it like a hundred, right, yeah. Some people are like really

220
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:18.840
into it. Then, like like
Jason Schreier is a big sweak it In

221
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:20.799
like two and I think five fan, and he's like this isn't working for

222
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.919
me at all. So there's like
Apartments like, oh, maybe I need

223
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:28.480
to see it from myself. But
like like Jan said, there are so

224
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:33.679
many, even just JRPG specifically this
year. I mean, I still want

225
00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:39.240
to go and play like a Dragon
if It and Wealth and even like trying

226
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:43.879
to recommend this. There is a
remaster of just sweak It into Amamon coming

227
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:46.840
out soon. Apartment's like, man, that's probably the one I would still

228
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:50.000
really want people to play once that
finally those released. I don't think it's

229
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.360
out yet anyway, so you know, again, it's not like there's bad

230
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.120
reviews for this, but I was
kind of hoping that they were really gonna

231
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.200
kind of recapture that sweak it in
to Magic and this was gonna come mount

232
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:02.960
and people be like, wow,
this is you know, you can't miss

233
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:04.639
it. Yeah, people, A
lot of people do like it, but

234
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:10.399
I feel like I can miss it. I think so like I've I've heard

235
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:12.320
nothing but like amazing things about Sweet
in two. I missed it when I

236
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:18.200
was younger, so I was kind
of looking forward to this and Mike am

237
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.639
I correct. Is there like a
duck Party character in one of the swek

238
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:27.080
it in games. I think they
show up in like three or later,

239
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:30.480
like there's a bunch of animal people. Yeah in sweak it in and it's

240
00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:33.679
it's there. They're always kind of
fun. You just go to a village

241
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:36.879
like we're people. So you know, like the whole point of Sweeking or

242
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:41.480
one of its main hooks is that
there's a recruitment system in it where there's

243
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.080
you kind of have like a home
base and you recruit people to come to

244
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.039
your base, and a lot of
them can be party members, but other

245
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:49.799
ones are like I'm going to run
the items shop. Er uh, you

246
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:53.360
recruited me, so now you have
toeleportation and stuff like that. There's a

247
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:56.879
bit of like that Pokemon got to
catch them all thing, and yeah,

248
00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.600
like there's a lot of wacky characters, you know, like duck people or

249
00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:03.000
yeah, when you have over one
hundred characters, you can just get really

250
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.240
wild with it, right, So
yeah, exactly, And like it's weird

251
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:08.839
because like in other games, like
Cronocross was saying it isn't jump there.

252
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:12.160
I didn't like how there's like a
million different characters you can recruit, but

253
00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:15.920
it works really well here because there
is still kind of like and Sweak into

254
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:19.480
two, there are still the five
or six characters that didn't matter for the

255
00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:22.400
story. As Kinder said, the
other one, like, hey, and

256
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:25.799
you have a party size of six, so it's fine. Like, yeah,

257
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:27.799
I'm gonna have like the three important
characters here and then like three goobers

258
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:33.480
in the back row. So that's
fine. But yeah, and I'm glad

259
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:36.960
like it is still six person party
size. That was always another nice thing

260
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:41.640
about sweek it in it was really
large over there. I'm trying to figure

261
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.559
of if I want to check this
out or not, if if this game

262
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:48.839
is on game Pass. I haven't. I believe it's on game Pass.

263
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:52.920
Well yeah, yeah, that that
may be the route to go. Then

264
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:56.400
did you get the shark? I
did need the shark? People I saw

265
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.799
the shark. I did not get
the shark. He looks like but like

266
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:07.720
grub when I could potentially be romancing
like a robot AI lady in Persona three.

267
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:12.039
Oh So that's what got That's what
got you feeling better about Persona three

268
00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:17.279
you met? I guess you know, maybe it's why did anyone tell me

269
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:23.079
this before? Uh, it's it's
it's just hard to to again to justify

270
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:29.880
my time towards towards Iden chronicles.
Maybe I'll circle back, but even then,

271
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.240
like just the look of it,
I'm not super in love with the

272
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:37.880
two and a half D style as
is, and you have to really pull

273
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:44.480
it off, like and be flashy
about it like Octopath does, uh for

274
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:48.519
for it to like get its hooks
into me. But yeah, that's a

275
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:53.839
little bit of a bummer. Iden
Chronicles, what's the game P S one

276
00:18:55.039 --> 00:19:00.079
RPG? I'm thinking of where you
put CDs into your PS one most there

277
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.000
we go. I don't know why
I thought that was sweak it in for

278
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:07.200
a while, but maybe I just
have ducks and monsters confused in my head.

279
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:11.640
That's fit. Dus are monsters,
absolutely. I was just gonna say

280
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:14.279
I was just real quick on I
would just like looking at them, like,

281
00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:18.119
yeah, I thought it looked better
like visually when I remember first hearing

282
00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:19.240
about it, and now I'm like
looking at stuff now, I'm like,

283
00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:22.799
oh, yeah, this kind of
does look a little bit off from what

284
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:25.599
I'm expecting. I don't hate the
way it looks, but I don't know.

285
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:27.240
I think I like how dynamic the
camera is. I don't know what

286
00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:33.000
that's working for me so much in
these battles, but I like the sprites

287
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:36.720
I'm less in love with the way
like the big just three D model enemies

288
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:41.119
look and how they don't really seem
to match it entirely, but I could

289
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:44.319
deal. It looks good enough for
me. Also a question for for y'all,

290
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:49.599
where do you land when you're playing
an RPG and there is no health

291
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:56.279
meter for the boss? Oh oh, I'm very I'm so Final Fantasy pilled.

292
00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:00.119
I'm completely normalized with that. I
can betely fine with it. I

293
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:04.400
don't mind if as long as I
have a scale or there is an available

294
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:07.319
skill to see how much HP the
boss has, if I could do that,

295
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.119
that's that's fine. In fact,
I'm gonna say I like it.

296
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:12.279
I'm gonna I'm gonna go all the
way there. I like it. Not

297
00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:15.680
knowing. I like that I have
to like really be careful at all times.

298
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:21.039
Maybe a boss is like has ten
HP left, but I'm still really

299
00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:23.839
like scared and focused. In fact, one of my favorite JERRYPG memories was

300
00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:27.759
beating the Final Boss and Final Fantasy
eight and doing all these limit breaks that

301
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:33.640
were doing like like you know,
fifty thousand damage each turn, and then

302
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.319
it was like a long fight and
so I didn't know what to do.

303
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:37.920
So I had my guy Irvine,
who just has a fucking gun, just

304
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:41.200
use a normal attack while I was
trying to think about what to do.

305
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.640
It just like shot her in the
face for twenty damage and then like woo,

306
00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:49.279
you know, I know, the
very dramatic death scene starts playing out.

307
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:52.119
So yeah, I'm pro no health
bar. Yes, yes, Jeff

308
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:55.599
Grubb, Yeah, I just I
just had the thought in my brain that

309
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:59.480
I wanted to get out. What
would a Monster Rantur Nuzzluck run look like?

310
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:02.640
Would it be like to go around
your room and you find the closest

311
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:06.720
CDs to you and you have to
use those? Oh yeah, and then

312
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:10.759
if that monster dies, right,
you have to break that CD. All

313
00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:12.319
right, Dan, you're playing Monster
Rancher. You're doing Ano Lock Run,

314
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:19.279
Congratulation and Pokemon. That's all you
need to know. O y, Monster

315
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:23.359
Rancher. I use rob Zombies,
Hell Billy Deluxe and Kid Rocks Devil without

316
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:29.799
a cause you probably monspable. Yeah
here's an idea. All right, let's

317
00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:33.559
all go load up Monster Rancher.
But let's go to our local thrift store

318
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:38.880
with five dollars, ten dollars and
load up on as many CDs as we

319
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:41.880
can. Okay, pretty good.
I like that. I like that played

320
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.839
monster Richer. I was like to
my heart was already too filled with the

321
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:48.000
digimon and Pokemon. I had no
room for it. Oh so I didn't

322
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:52.000
like the way that eyeball monster looked. I thought that stupid. Sure,

323
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:53.799
what's pretty dumb? What CD do
you think would be the most likeliest that

324
00:21:53.839 --> 00:22:00.200
we would all end up with.
I'm gonna say Jagged Little Pill. Yeah,

325
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:04.240
Dane Cook's like first comedy album.
Yeah, that monster sounds terrifying.

326
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:11.319
Dukie, Uh, Dukie's probably a
good pull. Uh funk. What's his

327
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:15.359
name? The puppet guy? Oh, Jeffdunham, Yes, Jef Dunham's for

328
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:18.279
a special there, here you go
there. I'm just gonna put a bunch

329
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:22.119
of mcgerber blu rays in and see
what happens. You see those fancy pants

330
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.079
over at kind of Funny with their
like special sprites, and they're just like,

331
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:29.279
Wow, Yeah, Andy, Andy
did that stuff. Jez's very cool

332
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:37.039
better than us. There's parts where
yes they are. I was supposed to

333
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:40.680
join John Luke and Jake Decker for
a tour of the Kind of Funny studio

334
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:45.519
to see how it's run and John
Luke kindly sent me photos and I cried

335
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:48.200
a little bit. I'm like,
ah, well, I'm telling you guys,

336
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:52.480
dude, Ohio, we could get
real cheap space here. I'm going

337
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:56.400
at the studio. It great.
I want I want to see the video

338
00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:00.200
of Mike Minatty building a studio just
like Cale. I just like I just

339
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:03.720
walk into a room with nothing but
a hammer. I'm like, let's go.

340
00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:07.519
I just bring an N sixty four. That's my contribution. It's like,

341
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:11.519
all right, okay, cool,
cool, cool, cool, Still

342
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:14.960
sticking on the JRPG train, Mike
Manati, you put on the dock here,

343
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:19.599
Unicorn Overlord. Yeah. I got
into this finally after being delayed because

344
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:23.240
of Persona three reload. I was
pretty curious to check this out. I

345
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:26.160
like Vanilla War's other games. I
know other people have talked about this on

346
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:30.480
here. Sean dipped out after ten
hours, and I'm actually past that ten

347
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:33.880
hour mark now I'm like twelve hours
in and I am really liking it.

348
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:38.519
Atkay, this is doing a lot
for me for some reason. Like the

349
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:44.599
art is, of course incredible,
but so even though it like it looks

350
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:48.400
more like an auto battler quote unquote
at first, it really is a lot

351
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:52.319
like Fire Them still, because you
know, you're basically just moving characters around.

352
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:53.920
When they come into contact with each
other, they start fighting. That's

353
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:57.559
you know, what's happening on any
tile based games just there's no tiles.

354
00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:02.079
But just the idea that it's not
one person find another person is that you

355
00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:06.680
are making these whole kind of you
know, uh units, right, these

356
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:10.200
troops with multiple characters and the way
they interact with each other, and you

357
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:14.400
can kind of combine weaknesses or you
kind of like focus on one big strings

358
00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:18.359
to try to cover up weaknesses.
That way, you're just constantly coming across

359
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:25.160
new characters, like like the recruit
rate is very high compared to a fire

360
00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:27.759
Almost like every battle there's like one
or two people. Like just recently,

361
00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:30.160
I'm like, man, I can't
get I can't get all these fuckers at

362
00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:33.480
my party anymore. It also sad
because I like a lot of them.

363
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:37.359
They they look uh, you know, they're all kind of interesting, they're

364
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:41.200
all sort of fun. So for
some reason, like how seriously the game

365
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:45.039
is taking itself. For the most
part, this is not a game that

366
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:48.119
has time for jokes or much levity. It's you know, everything's kind of

367
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:52.960
a serious as a heart attack,
and uh, I don't know, I

368
00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:56.480
kind of appreciate that at this point. That is dark vibe that you off.

369
00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:02.640
Yeah, Jeff gets it. Yeah
yeah, all right, moving on.

370
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:07.000
Uh I see here, last thing
real quick. Oh yes, that

371
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:10.799
demo's insane. I was able to
play it down for seven hours before it

372
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:12.680
kicked me out. Oh yes,
I love. I love a good lengthy

373
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:15.400
demo. It's like almost two jars. Like, man, you guys look

374
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:18.440
like I was good after two hours. I'll keep playing like this if you

375
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:22.680
want to, Jeez and you and
how did it transfer to the final game?

376
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:25.880
Like very easily? Oh yeah,
it's just like hey, now you

377
00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:27.599
save it, and then when you're
like you open the real game, it's

378
00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:30.920
just gonna load like load that like
it's a safe out because I'm like two

379
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:33.839
hours in and I was like,
I want to get back to it.

380
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:36.039
Okay, Well I'm gonna do that. I'll just keep playing the demo until

381
00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:37.400
it kicks me out. Well,
there's so many people I know who will

382
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:41.839
probably be good with this game after
like the demo time, and that's fine

383
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:47.240
speaking about lengthy demos. Uh.
The Hades two Tech Test came out late

384
00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:49.079
last week. I was able to
get in. Jeff Grabb, I believe

385
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:55.640
you also got in. Yep,
holy shit. Hades two is very good

386
00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:57.920
because it's like Hades, which is
very very good. It turns out if

387
00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:02.799
they make another one of those,
it's pretty good. Yeah. I'm like,

388
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:06.599
I've done just a handful of runs. I'm not like trying to burn

389
00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:11.559
out this game immediately in the tech
test or anything like that. But the

390
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:15.359
first things I noticed is it's very
familiar, like it's it's doing a lot

391
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:19.839
of the stuff that Haites did.
The character is different. It's not Zagriusa,

392
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:22.000
it's not Zagrius. I don't know, I can't. I don't know

393
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:26.880
this character, thank you. Uh, but she feels a lot like Zagrius

394
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:32.440
and uh. And then like in
a lot of the strategies of like mixing

395
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:36.400
up your cast with your main attack, with your heavy attacks, with your

396
00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:40.240
dodge, with your sprint, make
sure that you're keeping things like flowing pretty

397
00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:42.480
good good all still works, and
that stuff came back really fast, and

398
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:47.880
it's like immediately like the game just
looks better than just about anything else trying

399
00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:51.640
to be this this style, and
then it feels better than anything else.

400
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:55.359
Uh, and those two factors alone
have made Hades two immediate, Like just

401
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:57.480
yes, I am having a good
time with this. Does this character feel

402
00:26:57.759 --> 00:27:03.160
like much different to play than Zagrias? I heard that, like maybe there's

403
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:06.839
a bit more of a magical kind
of witches player to her. Yes,

404
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:10.920
she I think they even frame her
as a witch. I think they call

405
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:15.519
her witch several times. And also
there is like a mana bar on top

406
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:19.119
of your life bar. Do you
have that instead of like the kind of

407
00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:22.480
like weird throwy things that Zagrias has
or is that on top of that?

408
00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:29.680
I think it's on top of that. I misremembering a lot of Hades despite

409
00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:33.319
playing an obscene, right, you
still have a projectile and you have a

410
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:34.880
cast, and it's like, I
think the cast is like taking from the

411
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:38.519
mana bar oh right, right right, You're like little diamond cast thing from

412
00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:44.160
the first game. Now there's just
like a mana bar where you can throw

413
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:48.680
a projectile, but if you charge
up your projectile it burns some mana.

414
00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:51.920
Right, I think all of your
charged attacks, like you could do a

415
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:53.799
charged like main weapon text. Well, I think that also takes away from

416
00:27:53.799 --> 00:28:03.400
your mana and mana mana h and
then it really uh, it really adds

417
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:11.960
to the level of resource management where
some of your boons will benefit you if

418
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:15.400
you have full mana of like okay, well you do a little bit more

419
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:22.400
damage. Uh if you have full
mana or you get like a crit bonus.

420
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:26.240
It's the same type of like really
good characterization and character writing that you

421
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:30.480
got in Hades one. Even in
this early tech test, they do a

422
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:34.160
good job at introducing you to these
new characters. You're in a very different

423
00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:40.119
setting and you're not fighting Hades and
Hades too. I kind of I kind

424
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:44.160
of really dig it in that you
are fighting time because you're gonna fucking kill

425
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:53.039
Chronos Mortal Kombat exactly. It's exactly
like moratl Conron and yeah, it lets

426
00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:59.119
you fight up to the first boss, and the first boss is like a

427
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:08.519
teacher of your is uhikat beer.
That's that's from Texas. Yeah, there's

428
00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:12.880
in another video game that sounds familiar. And this is getting all the Greek

429
00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:18.039
mythology juices like flowing again of like
yeah, I remember this name, let's

430
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:22.720
learn about you and stuff like why
are you hot as hell? Because they're

431
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:27.119
in Hades two. Yeah. Yeah, it's like kind of remembering what I

432
00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:30.880
like about Hades in terms of like, oh, I came back from this

433
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:33.359
run and I'm ready to get back
out there. I don't know if I

434
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:34.920
want to talk to these people.
And then the first person says something that's

435
00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:38.640
like so specific specific to what you
just did, and the fact that that's

436
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:41.880
happening already in the tech test,
it's like, oh, yeah, they

437
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:45.079
just do rug lights better than anyone
else. No one else is close to

438
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:48.559
this. This is it's really special
and it feels that way again already.

439
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:55.000
You when you start each run or
after you res from a failed run or

440
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:59.160
a successful run, I guess you
have the option to pet a frog and

441
00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:03.640
I really like that frogs. No
just ribbets, Okay, that's cool.

442
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:07.279
Petty frogs is fine. I'll allow
that. Okay, okay, no petting

443
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:11.000
dogs. But yeah, it was
over it, even even with Sarahbis or

444
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:15.240
whatever and what edge lord, I
know, right, yeah, people are

445
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.680
always saying this. I'm so glad
that they did just make a sequel,

446
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:22.240
even if like, yeah, of
course it's going to feel a little saving

447
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:25.759
in some ways, but I'm glad
they did this round instead of you know,

448
00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:27.519
Dead Sounds released a lot of good
deal. See, and and that's

449
00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:30.799
nice. Uh, but I prefer
like just having this, you know,

450
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:36.119
we're going right to another big new
release instead of kind of getting piecemeal pieces

451
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:38.000
of content and new things to check
out every now and then. Yeah,

452
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:41.480
like dead Sales gets to a point
where it's like there's a lot here.

453
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:45.400
This feels maybe bloated. I don't
know where to start, Like what is

454
00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:47.839
like I played the game when it
came out, and now there's all this

455
00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:49.359
stuff. Do I want Casylvania in
it? Now? It's just cool?

456
00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:52.440
But also like I kind of wish
I was a separate game and I'll play

457
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:55.920
the Cassylvania stuff. But then like
I always see that, and here's the

458
00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:57.960
five other things that I didn't touch. Do I want to interact with that

459
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:02.160
stuff? I think I am interacting
with some of the Like it's like hard

460
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:04.839
to keep track of here. When
it's like a full separate sequel, it

461
00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:08.759
makes it very easy just contain all
the new stuff in one space. Yeah,

462
00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:11.319
and I feel like, uh,
you know, because super Giant is

463
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:15.599
Super Giant, they're gonna stick the
landing. Because I feel like Spelunky two

464
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:19.559
in Rogue Legacy two didn't quite hit
the mark in terms of like recapturing that

465
00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:23.079
same vibe from the first. I'm
so excited for both of those, but

466
00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:29.000
it's like and there's nothing like wrong. No, no, they didn't add

467
00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:33.359
enough really, you know. And
then the thing that differs. Instead of

468
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:38.839
like the skull modifiers you would have
in Haiti's one, you're using ash to

469
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:44.559
like kind of unlock these like tiled
tarot cards that are linked to each other,

470
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:48.079
so it'll be like, all right, when you enter a room or

471
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:51.240
when you exit a room, you'll
get like plus five HP back, or

472
00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:56.039
your your AOI will do a little
bit more damage stuff like that. And

473
00:31:56.079 --> 00:32:01.640
you're using uh, you're unlocking not
subway weapons, but like sub items because

474
00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:07.440
you quickly unlock a pickaxe that you
can use to mine material, so you

475
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:10.519
can get that material to unlock a
new weapon. So it feels like they've

476
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:15.160
got the loop on lock even more
so this time, where god, it

477
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:20.119
looks so pretty and it just looks
good on the O lead so jelly,

478
00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:23.440
So I feel like they got the
loop on lock. And then I fell

479
00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:27.200
into the trap of like, oh
shit, it's a fishing hole. Let's

480
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:29.519
go, Oh, I don't have
a fishing rod. Yeah, and on

481
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:31.640
the fishing rod, and it's you
like mentioned like you could pet the frog.

482
00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:35.880
It's like, actually, you confide
in the frog and you pet them

483
00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:38.079
while you do that. And then
there's a corner in your room, yeah,

484
00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:42.079
with your with a picture of your
family, and it just says like

485
00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:45.519
the action there is just brood,
like you're just gonna brood for a while.

486
00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:46.519
I'm like, okay, yeah,
the game does. What they're doing,

487
00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:52.000
are one to brood? Are one
all the time, And and it

488
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:55.039
seems like they're gonna have the similar
thing where you're building out the hall in

489
00:32:55.480 --> 00:33:00.200
Hades one, but you were filling
up a cauldron to unlock more stuff like

490
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:08.720
the shopkeeper opening up other other people
to enter this uh the sticks or whatever

491
00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:13.400
they're calling it in Hades two.
I'm very excited. This tech test,

492
00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:19.640
I also feel is very very generous
because it even tells you after you beat

493
00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:23.000
the boss once of like, hey, this is really early, y'all.

494
00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:25.720
If you beat this five times,
you're going to pretty much get what you

495
00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:29.400
need out of it. You don't
need to like evaluate it too much from

496
00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:31.599
here on out, like this is
all we got, but holy shit,

497
00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:35.920
Haites two, God damn it feels
like they're holding holding a lot back,

498
00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:40.319
which is good. And I am
someone who does occasionally like early access.

499
00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:43.880
It's not like I'm doing it for
every single game or anything like that,

500
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:45.319
but this is one where I think
I'll probably pay attention. So I like

501
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:47.799
to see how a game changes over
time, and I'll be paying attention to

502
00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:52.079
this one. One of the new
gods. Apollo wasn't in the first one,

503
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:57.000
right, don't think so? Okay, Apollo is one of the newer

504
00:33:57.039 --> 00:34:01.920
gods that you can befriend. I
also like the different relationships that you wind

505
00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:07.480
up having with the returning gods,
like Poseidon, just because it's a completely

506
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:13.840
different character than Zagaris in the first
one. And I like so far how

507
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:21.000
Milinoa is written. I also like
saying Milina way way Karen Charon is there,

508
00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:28.760
not Karen the store guys, It's
Karen Karen. Yeah. But okay,

509
00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:35.880
all right, wonderful. I saw
that Aphrodite did last time, but

510
00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:38.760
like, somehow she seems even more
aggressively new this time. Well, you

511
00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:44.280
know some time has passed, you
know, your style evolves, and uh,

512
00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:47.920
speaking about styles evolving, we check
this out on a upf maybe like

513
00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:52.880
a month or two ago, Dan, you've written down here Children of the

514
00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:57.920
Sun. Yes, I beat that
in a couple of sittings, and real

515
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:00.119
quick, how long is thisause I
started playing it and I'm like, I

516
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:02.000
don't know how long this can sustain, but I'm still having a good time.

517
00:35:02.199 --> 00:35:06.239
Three to four hours would be my
guest. Okay, Dash, that's

518
00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:07.599
perfect here. Okay, I'm gonna
get back in there, and then my

519
00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:10.400
thing is, Dan Brook, I'll
let you go after this. I was

520
00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:15.599
trying to get high scores in each
level and it's like, yes, I

521
00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:19.639
know about this because the reason I
played this was I was talking to Mary

522
00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:22.719
Kish on the Last fire Escape and
she was like, motherfucking Jeff Grubbs like

523
00:35:23.199 --> 00:35:27.960
a few levels early on where he
just got like insane, like some of

524
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:30.880
them are like top one hundred scores
and you didn't go past that. And

525
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:34.039
I was like, yeah, this
is what he fucking did with Neon White,

526
00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:37.519
where he just played this ship out
of the first like chapter and got

527
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:39.920
crazy scores on it and just didn't
go past that. It's it sucks being

528
00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:44.559
perceived, oh man, So yes, that is actually what got me playing

529
00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:46.000
it, And yes, I saw
I had you ad me on team.

530
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:50.800
So I could see your scores and
they are obnoxiously good. But then at

531
00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:52.599
a certain point you just got to
you know, it's it's it's the marathon,

532
00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:55.800
it's not the sprint. You know
you were when Mike beat us in

533
00:35:55.880 --> 00:36:01.679
Neon White. Yeah, yes,
I got you brought open again. We

534
00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:08.119
should go in, go in.
Okay, I don't remember what the hell

535
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:13.840
any of that. You're invited because
I think you won. I think you

536
00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:16.960
won. Yeah. Oh, but
Yell and I were bonding over Lorkana recently.

537
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:20.119
By the way, all right,
all right, that you did have

538
00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:22.480
that conversation off air, mikel we'll
talking about Children of the Sun right now.

539
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:25.280
It is. I had not played
it yet. I wouldn't make you

540
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:30.840
feel bad. You're getting you in
chance, Sorry, Dan, go ahead.

541
00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:32.400
I watched that Steam next pest.
I was on that stream, and

542
00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:36.199
so I watched one of you play
it, and I just I don't think

543
00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:39.320
I realized how just everything is on
the mouse and it works so well,

544
00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:43.880
Like it allows a great variety of
things you can do from just like moving

545
00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:45.679
around, aiming, doing the mid
air bullet stuff, the things that like

546
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:50.079
unlocked that you can do with the
bullets, like that game has a very

547
00:36:50.119 --> 00:36:53.719
frequent I'm calling an upgrade path because
you're not getting like skill points or anything.

548
00:36:53.880 --> 00:36:57.000
It's just like suddenly you'll be on
a level and it'll be like,

549
00:36:57.119 --> 00:37:00.000
hey, now you can do this
cool thing. And then all the levels

550
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:02.800
it's like it's like Mario Galaxy too. It's like every level there is something

551
00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:07.079
new and exciting happening. No,
it's more it's giving you a different new

552
00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:10.320
thing you can do each other.
Yeah, so by the end, by

553
00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:14.239
the end, you're thinking a lot
of different stuff you can do instead of

554
00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:15.639
just like, oh, bullet goes
here, bullet goes there. You know,

555
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:20.639
does do you find yourself in in
a spot where, uh, you're

556
00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:23.760
kind of stuck because you've been introduced
to so many mechanics where you don't know

557
00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:27.360
what to do? Okay, cool, Nope, Nope. Like there,

558
00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:30.800
I would say there are like five
to seven maybe maybe like five ish cor

559
00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:35.559
mechanics. Like for instance, there's
one mid to late game where it's like

560
00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:37.719
certain enemies will have weak points,
so like their arm will be like really

561
00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:42.199
glowy and glittery and stuff. And
if you hit two week points on enemies,

562
00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:46.800
you get a store of the uh, you get like one pip where

563
00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:51.480
it'll allow you to mid flight of
the bullet, you can click a button

564
00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:54.760
to just stop it or at least
slow it down dramatically and fully re aim,

565
00:37:55.159 --> 00:37:59.079
because at a certain point you can
like kind of do like the Jumper

566
00:37:59.159 --> 00:38:00.239
or Wanted whatever it is, where
you can kind of bend the bullet.

567
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:04.280
But then later on it's like you
unlock this thing where you can just straight

568
00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:07.039
up re aim and look anywhere and
then shoot a bird which will give you

569
00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:09.440
a better vantage point on this guy
down here by the train tracks. And

570
00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:14.079
it's, uh, it's really fun
and it's like the exact right length.

571
00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:16.119
It does some little like interstitial stuff
between the levels just to like kind of

572
00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:20.880
mix it up and everything, but
yeah, no real complaints about it.

573
00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:23.239
It's so solid. When I was
looking at it a bit, and I

574
00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:25.960
know there's like a bit of a
story thing like you escape the cult or

575
00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:30.559
something like how much of that story
stuff is there? And did you pay

576
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:34.599
attention to it? It's overbearing.
I mean each most levels have like a

577
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:37.360
short little animated thing at the beginning, but it's just like it just it

578
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:40.199
feels like pretty boilerplate, like yeah, you escape the Colt and it's like

579
00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:44.800
some farc right five shit and it's
like you, honestly, it's fine.

580
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:46.800
It's like vibes though, right,
Like it's like kind of like setting up

581
00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:50.440
the mood and that's about it.
So yeah, yeah, it's just like,

582
00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:52.760
Okay, this cult leader is clearly
an evil guy and you're gonna wind

583
00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:55.760
up going after him like that.
That's it. I'm not making this up.

584
00:38:55.960 --> 00:39:00.000
Is there like a mini game where
you clean the gun and it's like

585
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:02.679
turns into like a little arcade game. Yes, that's correct. Yes,

586
00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:07.280
so they're like literally interstitials like that
as well. Yeah, kind of car

587
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:12.960
based and yeah. Yeah. Is
it always just like a sniper? Uh?

588
00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:16.880
Bullet Dan? Or does that ever
change? It's always a bullet?

589
00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:20.159
Ok? Yeah, I'll give you
a bazooka in the last level. Nope,

590
00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:22.719
Nope, nope, just to just
snipe and the whole time. Someone

591
00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:24.559
please mod like a water gun.
I just want to see how that would

592
00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:30.360
work. Yeah, I'm just I
just want every game to be Splatoon,

593
00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:32.920
to be honest. I'll get in
there and I'll finish it and I'll get

594
00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:36.320
my scores right for all those levels, Dan, no worries. Nice.

595
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:38.480
Nice, I don't believe you,
Jeff, grubbed. I'm gonna do it.

596
00:39:38.639 --> 00:39:43.519
Dan record, you also put up
here on the document Delta emulator.

597
00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:47.079
Okay, I know it's an audio
podcast, but do you see what I'm

598
00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:53.239
doing with my phone? This is
three D works perfectly because I was thinking

599
00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:55.920
because it's it's it's main look like
Nintendo consoles. It's got you know,

600
00:39:55.960 --> 00:39:59.880
any as game Boy, game Boy
bands, super Nintendo stuff like that,

601
00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:01.440
but you can do DS and it's
like, okay, well I'll throw some

602
00:40:01.559 --> 00:40:05.480
ROMs on there all, but like, I don't know how many like DS

603
00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:07.719
games are gonna work well. And
it's like, wait a minute, the

604
00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:13.440
uh, Pacross three D is just
touch screen and it's just the bottom screen

605
00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:16.119
and I downloaded a new skin that
filled up more of the screen and I

606
00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:20.400
had a little stylus and the style
of stuff works perfectly. So I'm just

607
00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:23.559
straight up playing through Pacross three D
again and it's working perfectly. And it's

608
00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:28.599
just on my phone. It's got
save states, it's got like and if

609
00:40:28.760 --> 00:40:30.800
if you want to do other games
and stuff, you wanna do RPGs and

610
00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:32.320
stuff, it's got the fast forward
stuff, the save states. It's just

611
00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:37.800
a fully featured emulator. You can
airplay it to your TV, so you

612
00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:40.960
could like put a backbone controller on
it and just like travel with all of

613
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:45.239
your retro consoles, minimal lag.
I would say, airplay it to a

614
00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:49.000
t TV great for like planes and
stuff. It's any Bluetooth controller. I

615
00:40:49.039 --> 00:40:52.159
played it with some eight bit dou
stuff. It's uh, it's really fucking

616
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:55.199
good. And we're never going to
talk about this again because it's gonna get

617
00:40:55.199 --> 00:40:59.280
shut down after this podcast. It
is. I mean, I think Apple

618
00:40:59.320 --> 00:41:00.960
blot it on there. I think
it's probably okay. I think we should

619
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:06.840
be okay. I don't want fair
to be fair. Like when Dan's talk

620
00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:07.719
about this, I'm like, yeah, it's been on Android for like ten

621
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:12.000
years, like yeah, so like
it's not been taken that from Android.

622
00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:14.559
I think we're gonna be fine.
And it's just super clean. It's just

623
00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:16.679
like you know, box art and
stuff, so separated by system. Like

624
00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:22.960
everything everything I tried works increas just
smooth and easy. I've had people that

625
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:25.360
aren't really into emulation stuff that have
reached out to me, and it just

626
00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:28.800
like this is such an ease of
use thing. You know, I don't

627
00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:30.199
have to go into a mister,
you don't have to learn retro arch or

628
00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:34.000
anything like that, and you just
always have it with you. It is

629
00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:37.119
a excellent emulation option. It looks
neat. I still have the problem I

630
00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:40.360
have with almost all mobile game where
I just don't like playing games on my

631
00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:44.960
phone. Ie're nervous about all the
battery I'm ticking up, and I don't

632
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:46.760
like using the little digital buttons.
I think this is my thing. I

633
00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:51.599
don't like playing phone games, but
I like playing games that I like on

634
00:41:51.639 --> 00:41:55.719
my phone, Like I can crashed
out of my phone now, buck bumble,

635
00:41:55.840 --> 00:42:00.679
yes, don't get yes, okay
sweet? Are you playing Quackshot on

636
00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:02.960
your phone? For shoot? Yeah, I have with like the touch that

637
00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:05.800
I know you said no, no, no no, So that's the thing

638
00:42:05.960 --> 00:42:07.079
it has. Like if I want
to load up oh I'm sorry, I'm

639
00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:08.880
sorry. No no, no,
not Quackshot. What was I playing?

640
00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:13.320
I'm playing that on the I and
E O flip. That's right. This

641
00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:15.480
is just any stuff. But like
if I wanted to load up Donkey Kong

642
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:19.519
Country or something, yeah, you
can do it with like the overlay.

643
00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:22.000
So it's got that touch screen stuff. But I don't want to play like

644
00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:23.960
that. What I would do is
just hook up like an eight bit dough

645
00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:27.639
or put it in a backbone or
something like that. Sure, and then

646
00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:30.079
it's just you know, it takes
the hud stuff off the screen and then

647
00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:34.119
you're just playing Donkey Kong Country.
Yeah, and I like that. I

648
00:42:34.159 --> 00:42:36.599
do. I do think It's definitely
something I did a lot early on with

649
00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:38.760
Android. Uh, I just lost
the taste for it, I think because

650
00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:42.519
what Mike said, I just hate
thinking about my battery draining on my phone.

651
00:42:43.199 --> 00:42:47.519
I used to have that same feeling, but I think for me personally,

652
00:42:47.559 --> 00:42:52.119
I've just uh just I just carry
an extra battery pack with me at

653
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:54.239
all times, especially like traveling or
whatever. I'm definitely gonna put you know,

654
00:42:54.320 --> 00:42:58.400
extra battery packs, especially because like
I use this so much now for

655
00:42:58.480 --> 00:43:01.679
like video on top of like photos
and shoot stuff that like I just have

656
00:43:01.800 --> 00:43:07.320
this, uh shouts out to like
this this mag safe charger here, because

657
00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:12.840
like this bad boy saved my life
during WrestleMania started using those magnetic ones.

658
00:43:12.960 --> 00:43:15.679
Yeah, that does make a difference, folks. I can't believe I forgot

659
00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:21.039
to tell you this one even better
than Picross in terms of use. Case

660
00:43:21.079 --> 00:43:28.880
for this Warrior were twisted. It
just works. That's fantastic rotating it and

661
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:31.719
all that stuff is built into the
iPhone gyro staff. Next thing. Okay,

662
00:43:31.760 --> 00:43:37.079
your phone has a light sensor on
it. Oh, okay, Nicky's

663
00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:39.760
gonna get activated wherever they are.
Oh, I wonder Bochtie works. This

664
00:43:39.920 --> 00:43:44.679
is what I'm saying. Oh,
okay, I do think I saw my

665
00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:46.840
brother using a leafage with it and
it seemed to work. That's good,

666
00:43:47.039 --> 00:44:00.920
Nicky, time the door down Vampire's
son. Okay, I forget the Nikki

667
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:06.920
lore here. Did Nicky not play
bock Tie and they have just a cute

668
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:08.800
fascination? Did they just think about
back tie a lot? Yeah? Which

669
00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:14.679
we all? Yeah, you know
what? Okay, Okay, Nicky played

670
00:44:14.719 --> 00:44:19.079
a lot of Okay, okay,
all right, cool cool cools A fun

671
00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:23.880
thing to say. I was thinking
the same thing. Yeah, there's something

672
00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:32.639
you get from Chinese restaurants like beach
sprouts and something delicious. So next week's

673
00:44:32.800 --> 00:44:37.840
BombCast game section is just gonna be
as all playing bock Tie. I would

674
00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:42.360
would. I haven't played that since
I was a child. Eclipse happens in

675
00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:50.760
Ohio and half of us suck uh
dan I I was pretty uninterested in hearing

676
00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:57.960
about this until you mentioned the ability
to pair a Bluetooth controller you because like,

677
00:44:58.079 --> 00:45:00.639
I hate the touch buttons. I
never get down with it. I

678
00:45:00.679 --> 00:45:05.360
would never do that unless like the
only time I'm fine with it is with

679
00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:07.360
like warriorworar Twisted, where it's just
an a button, so I'm just turning

680
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:14.880
and hitting a basically. And yeah, God, there was this top down

681
00:45:15.559 --> 00:45:21.440
three v three shooter on the iPhone
that I played a lot of, and

682
00:45:21.480 --> 00:45:23.280
then I think I played one or
two games with Rich Gallup and his son,

683
00:45:24.760 --> 00:45:30.440
and I played it way too much
that like it reactivated the tendonitis in

684
00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:35.280
both of my hands. Nice that
I had spent years trying to heal.

685
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:39.039
Nice. I forgot what the game
is called brew Hall of Brawl is the

686
00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:46.000
Smash Brawl Stars. Oh my god. Started feeling my risk getting weird ever

687
00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:49.440
since I started Quackshot speed running,
and I'm like, oh, the Tyson

688
00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:52.679
stuff is coming back, the old
tys. My risk feels pretty weird.

689
00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:55.480
From when I fell down rollerblading.
Oh yeah, that happened for the weekend.

690
00:45:57.400 --> 00:46:00.039
I was all wrapped up all weekend
was so that's not helping us.

691
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:02.639
I'm telling you, guys, it's
all that fruit just making all your joints

692
00:46:02.639 --> 00:46:07.239
weak. I was gonna start the
mic check questions this week by saying how

693
00:46:07.280 --> 00:46:10.079
much I love eating fruit because it's
delicious, but I didn't want to offend

694
00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:15.639
you. Mike. Uh. Well, you know, we're all a bunch

695
00:46:15.679 --> 00:46:21.639
of injured, broken men at this
point, but we can't rest. Just

696
00:46:21.679 --> 00:46:25.480
like Mike Manata, You've put here
no rest for the Wicked. This is

697
00:46:25.719 --> 00:46:30.119
the new game from Moon Studios,
The Orri and the Blind Forest Slash or

698
00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:37.000
in the Will the Whist People.
This is on Early Access now on Steam.

699
00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:42.400
Very different kind of game. This
is a top down action RPG,

700
00:46:43.480 --> 00:46:46.199
but really taking a lot of its
cues from souls like right, so don't

701
00:46:46.239 --> 00:46:51.840
think Diablo here, like if you
played like Bastion, right, A bit

702
00:46:51.920 --> 00:46:54.280
like that little bit like I suppose, but not Yeah, again, very

703
00:46:54.400 --> 00:46:59.039
souls like kind of the big thing
here because it's Moon Studios you played or

704
00:46:59.199 --> 00:47:01.199
you know, just how go just
those games are. This game is again

705
00:47:01.679 --> 00:47:05.480
very pretty, very different kind of
feel here because it is like that kind

706
00:47:05.480 --> 00:47:12.239
of grim dark souls like you know, grimy fanity sort of thing, monsters

707
00:47:12.280 --> 00:47:15.480
and all that stuff. So so
you know, there's a lot to like

708
00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:21.280
aesthetically and like the combat self does
feel good and the animations are incredible.

709
00:47:21.719 --> 00:47:25.079
The systems right now are are a
little confused. I think they're actually not

710
00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:30.360
taking enough from souls games at the
moment, Like there's a couple of things

711
00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:36.199
they aren't doing that's just kind of
making things awkward, Like you don't actually

712
00:47:36.199 --> 00:47:38.239
collect souls and that's not like the
thing happens when you die. It's like,

713
00:47:38.280 --> 00:47:40.559
oh, you gotta go back and
eat your souls. When you die,

714
00:47:40.639 --> 00:47:45.119
you just go back to the last
bonfires type thing you went to and

715
00:47:45.159 --> 00:47:47.400
you lose little like item durability and
you have to go back to where you

716
00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:52.280
were. So but this combined with
you don't have the potions right, so

717
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:55.519
you have like the three flasks or
whatever. Here you have a whole cooking

718
00:47:55.559 --> 00:47:59.159
system. You can cook food,
and then you have those and you can

719
00:47:59.199 --> 00:48:02.079
eat them. But because you only
have so many of those, a lot

720
00:48:02.079 --> 00:48:05.639
of times I'm like, well,
if I'm not gonna lose experience for that,

721
00:48:05.719 --> 00:48:08.079
I'm just losing some weapon or ability. I guess I'll just die instead

722
00:48:08.119 --> 00:48:12.480
of wasting my food now when i
know I'm going to need that for a

723
00:48:12.519 --> 00:48:16.800
boss. So a lot of the
time I'm just taking deaths and backtracking a

724
00:48:16.920 --> 00:48:19.880
lot to get back to where I
was. You know, I was like

725
00:48:19.960 --> 00:48:21.840
in a dungeon. It felt like
a lot of times like all right,

726
00:48:21.840 --> 00:48:23.400
I kill one enemy, then the
next one kills me. Then I just

727
00:48:23.400 --> 00:48:27.800
go all the way back there and
get a little bit further, you know

728
00:48:27.840 --> 00:48:30.400
again, like that's kind of how
duxeles work, But there doesn't seem to

729
00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:36.079
be that feeling of progression. It's
it's also it's hard, even harder than

730
00:48:36.280 --> 00:48:38.880
like a souls like usually is for
me. Bonfires don't restore your health,

731
00:48:38.880 --> 00:48:44.159
so it really is just die or
eat your food. Oh yeah, I

732
00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:47.000
mean like you and you know,
you dodge or you parry, and that

733
00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:52.159
perry window is very small. I
was having a hard time getting that working

734
00:48:52.199 --> 00:48:54.320
on a lot of things. And
just like anytime there's like more than one

735
00:48:54.440 --> 00:48:59.800
enemy. There was this guy who
would throw like fire bombs or whatever at

736
00:48:59.840 --> 00:49:04.880
me, and he was so good
at throwing these fire bombs. It would

737
00:49:04.920 --> 00:49:07.719
just get me pretty much every time. It's like one hand, it's like

738
00:49:07.760 --> 00:49:10.280
one, well, there's half my
health and I don't I'm not gonna eat

739
00:49:10.320 --> 00:49:15.880
food. I'm not going to ever
recover health. So oh no, you

740
00:49:15.880 --> 00:49:17.920
know, I wonder if there's a
bit of that kind of reverse difficulty curve

741
00:49:17.920 --> 00:49:22.519
that these games have, where like
that first few hours is always brutal,

742
00:49:22.599 --> 00:49:25.199
and then you start like learning abilities
or even healing spouse, you get a

743
00:49:25.199 --> 00:49:30.239
weapon that has leech on it and
that will help you out a bit more.

744
00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:32.840
So. I yeah, I think
just like some of those system stuffs

745
00:49:32.840 --> 00:49:37.039
need to be fine tuned. Again, it is early access, and if

746
00:49:37.159 --> 00:49:43.119
it feels pretty early accessy performance is
not good. It's a pretty intense game,

747
00:49:43.159 --> 00:49:46.400
like especially when you're outside and wins
Bunk again, it looks very pretty,

748
00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:52.519
but my thirty seventy TI or whatever
was struggling even on performance mode to

749
00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:59.480
have anything resembling a steady frame rate
on this one. Is there like a

750
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:02.519
antiplayer or does it seem like they're
gonna have multi layer going to add multiplayer?

751
00:50:02.719 --> 00:50:05.760
Yes, so it's not in there, right, And I think that

752
00:50:05.760 --> 00:50:09.039
would help, honestly, because like
again, especially when it's like me one

753
00:50:09.119 --> 00:50:13.440
versus two or one versus three,
just like weird things like there's like this

754
00:50:13.519 --> 00:50:15.960
pretty long kind of like dungeon I
went through, and again like you can't

755
00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:21.480
ever heal and it's just difficult,
and like like a good ways into it,

756
00:50:21.519 --> 00:50:23.599
I encounter a new enemy type for
the first time, and it's this

757
00:50:23.679 --> 00:50:25.360
big guy with a thing, and
it's like, I know, this guy

758
00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:29.000
hits me two times, I'm dead. I just don't know any of their

759
00:50:29.039 --> 00:50:31.400
attack patterns or anything like that,
so you know, I guess I'll die

760
00:50:31.880 --> 00:50:35.239
and then I do. I'm like, you really don't want to like go

761
00:50:35.280 --> 00:50:38.800
through all of that again. How
do you feel about like Roague lights,

762
00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:43.280
like haities where that is kind of
the idea where you're probably gonna get through

763
00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:45.119
something and you are going to die
the first time, or you could die

764
00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:47.519
the first time and then you're gonna
learn and get better and all that stuff

765
00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:51.679
in haites because you know, every
time you die, you're you're kind of

766
00:50:51.679 --> 00:50:54.360
playing the game again. And that's
the other thing like using a bonfier dying,

767
00:50:54.400 --> 00:51:00.639
it doesn't repopulate the area, so
really is just an empty track to

768
00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:04.800
get back to where right I was. And yeah, that's confusing to me.

769
00:51:04.840 --> 00:51:07.159
I don't know if that's just in
this kind of first tutorial area,

770
00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:10.119
which which I'm just now past.
I did fight like the first big boss

771
00:51:10.119 --> 00:51:14.000
and it was like, you know, a pretty neat boss and it looked

772
00:51:14.039 --> 00:51:17.559
pretty and big and intimidating. It
looks very heavy mic with like the character.

773
00:51:17.559 --> 00:51:22.199
I don't know if it's just a
specific uh character build that I'm watching

774
00:51:22.320 --> 00:51:24.320
right now, but it looks very
weighty, and I don't know if I'm

775
00:51:24.360 --> 00:51:29.440
digging that it's very weighty now.
It again that kind of goes into the

776
00:51:29.480 --> 00:51:32.400
souls like thing right where uh and
like you know, like literally dark souls,

777
00:51:32.440 --> 00:51:37.679
not something like Secroo or maybe you're
a bit lighter, a bit more

778
00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:40.880
agile. It is very much Hey, you are going to have to time

779
00:51:42.079 --> 00:51:45.159
your dodge rolls or your pary's if
you're going to have any kind of real

780
00:51:45.280 --> 00:51:50.079
chance here. And it was just
especially that again that Perry window was as

781
00:51:50.199 --> 00:51:52.679
unforgiving as it comes. At least
early on, I was having a difficult

782
00:51:52.719 --> 00:51:58.400
time with that. This is a
very drastically different looking game than or Will

783
00:51:58.400 --> 00:52:01.880
of the Wisps. This is like
played opposite like of course, like RI

784
00:52:02.199 --> 00:52:05.599
is going to be more my speed
for multiple reasons. It is like the

785
00:52:05.639 --> 00:52:09.119
more colorful, cute kind of like
traditional animation. One. It's a metroidvana,

786
00:52:09.199 --> 00:52:14.639
which is a genre I just you
know, like a bit more.

787
00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:17.440
I think there's definitely something here I
think. I mean, they released this

788
00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:22.239
early access version right when the Haities
two technical test was happening, right,

789
00:52:22.280 --> 00:52:27.239
so that's maybe a little bit rough
for them. But it seems like it's

790
00:52:27.239 --> 00:52:30.239
getting a lot of attention though,
and you know it's getting attention. It's

791
00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:32.800
like reviews on Steam are kind of
a mixed right now. Guess what people

792
00:52:32.840 --> 00:52:38.559
don't like? Weapon durability really too
weird. Yeah, I bet this game

793
00:52:38.599 --> 00:52:42.400
will benefit a lot from early access, though. I bet they're gonna be

794
00:52:42.400 --> 00:52:45.159
able to make something that will be
much better in the end. To their

795
00:52:45.199 --> 00:52:49.239
credit, they've already been releasing a
bunch of patches. I think there's like,

796
00:52:49.400 --> 00:52:52.079
you know, it's been like a
week and drastic changes to the game.

797
00:52:52.280 --> 00:52:53.360
I was reading some of those patches
and it's like, seems like they

798
00:52:53.360 --> 00:52:58.559
were making some big differences already.
In fact, like in the first area,

799
00:52:58.719 --> 00:53:01.480
like all the repairs were free on
weapon durability and stuff, and I

800
00:53:01.519 --> 00:53:05.960
was like, is that a patch
that did that? Because everybody was complaining

801
00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:07.039
about that, and it's nice,
but again then it's like, well,

802
00:53:07.079 --> 00:53:10.320
now there's no penalty for dying,
so again, why would I ever waste

803
00:53:10.920 --> 00:53:14.079
my food? I kind of wish
they would just get rid of this cooking

804
00:53:14.119 --> 00:53:17.280
food system and just put in the
flasks right like again, like, look,

805
00:53:17.280 --> 00:53:22.119
you're you're so clearly just trying to
be top down dark Souls. I

806
00:53:22.159 --> 00:53:24.679
would embrace it even further at this
point. Just go for it. Just

807
00:53:24.679 --> 00:53:29.119
go for it. Uh, Dan, you talked about this briefly at the

808
00:53:29.159 --> 00:53:30.760
top of the show, But do
you have anything else to say about Quackshot.

809
00:53:31.760 --> 00:53:36.119
It's a good video game. Uh, you should play it. I

810
00:53:36.159 --> 00:53:38.199
want to watch Mitch speed run it. I like watching Mitch on Twitch.

811
00:53:38.679 --> 00:53:43.599
Uh. And uh, he's a
good speed runner. And really, Mitch,

812
00:53:43.679 --> 00:53:47.039
that would have been good really branded
with that on Twitch. You should

813
00:53:47.039 --> 00:53:51.079
play Quackshot. It's a good game. So it's the best, the most

814
00:53:51.119 --> 00:53:53.480
fun speed run thing I've tried out. Fantastic. Yeah, I know I

815
00:53:53.480 --> 00:53:57.239
would love it. I mean I
like quack Shot a lot, did ever

816
00:53:57.280 --> 00:53:59.559
since I was a kid. I
would like go back to the game,

817
00:53:59.840 --> 00:54:02.079
Like every like six or seven years, I'd go back to Quackshot. Inevitably

818
00:54:02.119 --> 00:54:06.480
at some point. It looks like
a great speed you know, as much

819
00:54:06.519 --> 00:54:09.320
as I like running mythologies, it
is, you know, like forty minutes

820
00:54:09.360 --> 00:54:13.760
to complete a speed run there,
and I used to be like an hour,

821
00:54:13.920 --> 00:54:15.599
so it is a lot, so
something that is more like twenty five

822
00:54:15.679 --> 00:54:21.199
thirty minutes or whatever. Yeah,
what's what's top what's the top time?

823
00:54:21.280 --> 00:54:25.239
Looking like? Damn top time right
now is twenty three forty three by geewe,

824
00:54:25.480 --> 00:54:28.800
which, by the way, shout
out to the speed run community geewee

825
00:54:28.840 --> 00:54:30.800
and Jim time John people have been
helping me out. Draco, like,

826
00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:35.559
yeah, there's something about the speed
run community. I saw this with Tyson

827
00:54:35.599 --> 00:54:38.199
as well. Yeah, is like
and mitches seeing this with mythologies. It's

828
00:54:38.239 --> 00:54:42.920
like you start streaming these old games
that have these kind of like smaller communities

829
00:54:42.920 --> 00:54:45.679
that are doing like the speed running
stuff, and they will pop up and

830
00:54:45.719 --> 00:54:47.280
watch and give you tips and things
like that. Everyone's just kind of like

831
00:54:47.320 --> 00:54:50.679
rooting for each other. Like that's
part of why I want Mitch to do

832
00:54:50.719 --> 00:54:52.679
it, is like I'm going to
root for him. It's like as much

833
00:54:52.679 --> 00:54:55.360
as I want to compete with him
and beat him, I want that back

834
00:54:55.360 --> 00:55:00.280
and forth, like you know Greb
and I had with an aster bot.

835
00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:04.199
Yes, yep, yeah, so
it's speed running community seem pretty awesome for

836
00:55:04.280 --> 00:55:06.719
what I was just funny about the
astropot thing. I was. I was

837
00:55:06.800 --> 00:55:08.280
in there also, Dann, but
we didn't really know each other at the

838
00:55:08.320 --> 00:55:13.639
time than you were like no one
was perceiving, weren't very good. You

839
00:55:13.679 --> 00:55:16.079
were competing with Jeff and I was
competing with Jeff, but we weren't really

840
00:55:16.119 --> 00:55:22.360
competing with each other. Think you
were around at that point the enemy in

841
00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:27.920
Canada. Yeah, I was still
emerging from the Minati spawning. Yeah.

842
00:55:28.000 --> 00:55:30.719
Yeah, you were like like majin
boo, like you were in the background

843
00:55:30.800 --> 00:55:34.599
the whole time. It just wasn't
like around yet, formless and void.

844
00:55:34.840 --> 00:55:37.920
Yes, So I encourage anyone who
wants to look into a quack shot speed

845
00:55:37.039 --> 00:55:39.960
runs fill out that later board.
It's it's got a it's got a pretty

846
00:55:39.960 --> 00:55:43.880
healthy How many are on there right
now, there's like forty four on the

847
00:55:44.400 --> 00:55:47.239
rounds compared to the ten that are
in mythology. That's a that's a bustling

848
00:55:47.280 --> 00:55:52.559
community. Sure, I would like
to stream in my own time more.

849
00:55:52.760 --> 00:55:54.039
And I'm thinking, like, you
know, maybe I'll maybe I'll take a

850
00:55:54.079 --> 00:55:59.920
stab at some speed running and then
like fun, maybe like August September might

851
00:56:00.079 --> 00:56:04.519
better for me. I know this
is like fucking months ahead, but perhaps

852
00:56:05.719 --> 00:56:09.800
I want to get on the quiet
man speak. See what that is?

853
00:56:09.840 --> 00:56:14.639
It does that exist? I think
we looked at it like a couple of

854
00:56:14.639 --> 00:56:19.000
months ago and it wasn't insane.
There are five Oh well, they're all

855
00:56:19.119 --> 00:56:22.840
like an hour twenty to an hour
thirty one out shorter than I was expecting,

856
00:56:22.880 --> 00:56:27.000
to be honest, with a lot
of quiet man. To run a

857
00:56:27.039 --> 00:56:30.800
game, you play it a lot. Yeah, a lot of donkey kicks.

858
00:56:31.199 --> 00:56:36.639
Do you think the dialogue affects the
run at all? Or no?

859
00:56:36.800 --> 00:56:38.320
Oh? Yeah, if it does, people will I mean, you watch

860
00:56:38.320 --> 00:56:42.280
anyone's run and you'll see exactly what
they're playing on. Oh that's true,

861
00:56:42.320 --> 00:56:44.599
that's true. Okay, all right, I got I gotta hit the lab.

862
00:56:44.639 --> 00:56:50.480
I gotta go investigate final game before
we go to break here. This

863
00:56:50.599 --> 00:56:55.199
game, I'll say it's game of
the week. Tales of Kenzara Zoo yep.

864
00:56:55.760 --> 00:57:02.440
I beat this loss of it?
Yeah? What was would you clock

865
00:57:02.480 --> 00:57:07.679
in at GREB I want to say, like around eleven twelve hours, maybe

866
00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:10.239
maybe thirteen ish when I was all
said and done. Yeah, what do

867
00:57:10.239 --> 00:57:14.679
you think afterwards? It is a
good game, a game that I enjoy.

868
00:57:14.719 --> 00:57:19.280
It's a metroid Vana. A lot
of similarities on the surface to that

869
00:57:19.519 --> 00:57:23.480
Prince of Persia game looks kind of
similar, feels pretty similar in some ways.

870
00:57:24.119 --> 00:57:28.280
The big things that stood out right
away is it gives you a lot

871
00:57:28.320 --> 00:57:31.320
of the powers of a Metroidvania from
the start. So you have the double

872
00:57:31.400 --> 00:57:35.880
jump, kind of a dash,
like an air dash, all these things,

873
00:57:36.199 --> 00:57:37.880
and so I was like, Okay, I wonder what the progression is

874
00:57:37.880 --> 00:57:40.039
going to feel like. And that's
like one of my main things where it's

875
00:57:40.039 --> 00:57:45.480
like the things you unlock are like
an air glide eventually, so you're like

876
00:57:45.480 --> 00:57:47.639
you could do a double jump and
then you could hold down jump and then

877
00:57:47.679 --> 00:57:51.760
you're gliding through the air, and
then there's certain points where there's an updraft

878
00:57:51.800 --> 00:57:54.840
and then you could fly there and
yeah, what's up draft? Not much?

879
00:57:54.880 --> 00:57:59.639
What's up with you? And it's
those are specific, like very situational

880
00:57:59.679 --> 00:58:04.199
things. A lot of the upgrades
feel that way up until the very end,

881
00:58:04.239 --> 00:58:07.599
where it's like, once you have
all these abilities put together, it

882
00:58:07.639 --> 00:58:09.639
really feels it really comes together in
a strong way and it feels like,

883
00:58:09.679 --> 00:58:13.679
oh, this is where the game
is shining. Up until that point,

884
00:58:13.719 --> 00:58:15.559
which is like the last third,
a lot of it's like, oh,

885
00:58:15.639 --> 00:58:20.760
okay, yeah, I'm not like
feeling the huge pull through this game that

886
00:58:20.760 --> 00:58:23.760
I was kind of hoping to feel, but I still would come back to

887
00:58:23.800 --> 00:58:27.639
it and be like, Okay,
there's still some some of that Metroid Vanya

888
00:58:28.159 --> 00:58:31.360
ness that I need to get me
a little bit excited. But then everything's

889
00:58:31.400 --> 00:58:35.920
just a little bit unrefined, just
a little bit sloppy. It's you'll go

890
00:58:35.960 --> 00:58:38.480
into a new area of the map, you'll unlock the map and it just

891
00:58:38.559 --> 00:58:43.400
shows you everything, and the map
is very simple. You were going to

892
00:58:43.480 --> 00:58:45.920
your destination, see where that is, and then there's offshoots from the map,

893
00:58:46.119 --> 00:58:51.280
and those are always going to be
extra challenges to get some unlockables or

894
00:58:51.360 --> 00:58:53.920
new items to improve your character.
So there's not a lot of surprise.

895
00:58:54.039 --> 00:58:57.960
There's not actually a lot of exploration, and I think a lot of that

896
00:58:58.079 --> 00:59:00.760
ruins the pacing. It seems like
it definitely focus more onlike the story of

897
00:59:00.800 --> 00:59:04.400
the game than it did the exploration. And as someone who kind of comes

898
00:59:04.400 --> 00:59:07.320
to Metroidvania as for the exploring,
I was kind of turned off by that.

899
00:59:07.519 --> 00:59:09.880
And then how many times it would
just like kind of wall off a

900
00:59:09.960 --> 00:59:13.880
room and put me in a combat
challenge and things like that. And you

901
00:59:13.920 --> 00:59:17.360
mentioned Prince of Persia. I think
the proximity to that release did no favors

902
00:59:17.480 --> 00:59:21.360
because I think about all the quality
light things and the memories thing and like

903
00:59:21.559 --> 00:59:23.800
the way Prince Persia like it had
the exploration, it had the quality of

904
00:59:23.800 --> 00:59:27.400
life stuff, it had the combat. This one, it's like, it

905
00:59:27.400 --> 00:59:30.920
feels pretty snappy. You know,
when I started with the double Jump and

906
00:59:30.960 --> 00:59:31.320
it felt pretty good, I was
like, oh, okay, cool,

907
00:59:31.320 --> 00:59:34.599
all right, speak my language here. But then it's like, yeah,

908
00:59:34.639 --> 00:59:37.039
the upgrade tree wasn't super great to
me. You know, the sun and

909
00:59:37.079 --> 00:59:42.760
moon mask stuff was fine. It
does some smart stuff, but overall it's

910
00:59:42.800 --> 00:59:45.840
just like, as far as what
I went from a Metroidvania, it wasn't

911
00:59:45.880 --> 00:59:47.159
really hitting on that. And again, I think it's going more for the

912
00:59:47.199 --> 00:59:51.960
story than anything, and that explains
why I wasn't as into it. Yeah,

913
00:59:52.000 --> 00:59:53.199
I think the sort of the stuff, like the masks. You can

914
00:59:53.239 --> 00:59:57.320
switch between a sun mask and a
moon mask, and the sun mask is

915
00:59:57.320 --> 01:00:00.199
your melee attacks. The moon mask
is your sort of metroid. You know,

916
01:00:00.239 --> 01:00:04.800
Samas shooting her gun mask and that's
cool. I think they try to

917
01:00:04.800 --> 01:00:08.239
bring in a little Ikaruga where some
of these enemies will have certain shields on

918
01:00:08.280 --> 01:00:10.920
them that are colored, and you
need to break that shield by using that

919
01:00:12.000 --> 01:00:14.800
color. And then once they're the
shild is broken, you can use whatever

920
01:00:14.800 --> 01:00:17.760
you want on them. It like
makes combat a little bit more interesting,

921
01:00:17.800 --> 01:00:22.559
but it doesn't do much, and
really your tool set is and I do

922
01:00:22.599 --> 01:00:25.559
think the Prince of Persia comparison is
really painful in the combat because it's like

923
01:00:25.599 --> 01:00:28.800
man in that combat and Prince of
Persa. You could be doing so much

924
01:00:28.800 --> 01:00:31.840
at any one time, and the
game is encouraging you sometimes forcing you to

925
01:00:31.880 --> 01:00:36.679
get creative with those things, and
here it's like no, just kind of

926
01:00:36.760 --> 01:00:37.880
hit them and you'll be all right. And then at the very end,

927
01:00:37.880 --> 01:00:43.079
when you do have everything unlocked,
you get unlock this ability where instead of

928
01:00:43.159 --> 01:00:45.239
just using your air dash, you
can combine your air dash with like this

929
01:00:45.320 --> 01:00:50.239
a forceful tackle that you can do
in any direction. And once I had

930
01:00:50.320 --> 01:00:53.239
that, I was able to like
really get the combat to feel really nice.

931
01:00:53.440 --> 01:00:55.880
But again that's like the last third
of the game, and up before

932
01:00:55.920 --> 01:00:59.320
that, anytime I was in one
of these little combat rooms where it is

933
01:00:59.360 --> 01:01:00.880
locking me off, it's like,
this is kind of boring, this is

934
01:01:00.920 --> 01:01:04.800
kind of a dud. I was
hoping to play more with the like mask

935
01:01:04.920 --> 01:01:07.039
stuff, because like, remember there
was an old XBLA game called I Think

936
01:01:07.119 --> 01:01:10.119
Outland, and it was like you
would like phase back and forth, you

937
01:01:10.119 --> 01:01:14.400
know, speaking like that Ikaruga thing
where you're like switching phasing back and forth

938
01:01:14.440 --> 01:01:16.159
between things, and like platforms would
exist in one playing with existence and not

939
01:01:16.199 --> 01:01:19.840
the other, and they did a
lot of clever things with like the platforming

940
01:01:19.840 --> 01:01:22.440
and stuff there. I was hoping
there'd be more of that with a Sun

941
01:01:22.480 --> 01:01:24.400
and Moon mask, and it just
like it just felt to me like I

942
01:01:24.440 --> 01:01:28.760
was switching weapons more than anything,
you know, unrefined. It's just it's

943
01:01:28.800 --> 01:01:31.239
like not fully fledged out or yeah, fully fleshed out. Excuse me?

944
01:01:31.480 --> 01:01:35.000
Did the story like do much for
you? Because you know, I played

945
01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:37.119
a bit of it, and you
know, I'm a bit like you guys

946
01:01:37.159 --> 01:01:39.519
where it's like, oh are we
talking so much here? But it was

947
01:01:39.800 --> 01:01:44.760
pretty good at least I thought.
Did did that narrative go to interesting places

948
01:01:44.840 --> 01:01:46.639
for you? Were you engrossed by
that at all? Yeah? I really

949
01:01:46.760 --> 01:01:52.480
enjoyed the story bits. I think
that like that was the biggest pitfall for

950
01:01:52.559 --> 01:01:54.920
me with Prince of Persia is just
like I just did not care about anything

951
01:01:54.960 --> 01:01:59.719
that was happening there. Yeah,
like the gameplay was enough to pull me

952
01:01:59.760 --> 01:02:02.360
through the whole time. But with
Zoo, I think it's one of those

953
01:02:02.360 --> 01:02:06.960
games where I, uh, okay, I will turn put my headphones on,

954
01:02:07.039 --> 01:02:08.800
I will listen to this game as
it's going along, and like the

955
01:02:09.000 --> 01:02:14.400
chatter doesn't feel like it's useless inane
chatter. It's like, Okay, all

956
01:02:14.440 --> 01:02:19.599
of this is building towards something.
Uh, this is like we're we're dealing

957
01:02:19.599 --> 01:02:22.119
with grief, we're dealing with loss, and we're figuring out how to how

958
01:02:22.119 --> 01:02:25.840
to do that through the means of
a gamer and through the progression of this

959
01:02:25.960 --> 01:02:29.800
character. And I think that is
very well done. And I think the

960
01:02:29.840 --> 01:02:34.320
voice acting is also really good throughout
the portions of the game that I've played

961
01:02:34.360 --> 01:02:37.480
so far. It's definitely more interesting
than like the Prince of Persia's story stuff.

962
01:02:37.480 --> 01:02:40.159
For all the times Prince of person
does better, Like yeah, yeah,

963
01:02:40.199 --> 01:02:42.960
this has more of a focus on
it, and it's better at the

964
01:02:43.000 --> 01:02:45.880
story. So we'll shum together.
Yes, yeah, I think that.

965
01:02:46.519 --> 01:02:49.679
You know. The thing with like
afrofuturism, it's like, hey, we're

966
01:02:49.679 --> 01:02:52.280
gonna put sci fi in this African
setting to like say it like this culture

967
01:02:52.280 --> 01:02:57.199
should be included in all stories going
forward, and they sort of like plant

968
01:02:57.199 --> 01:03:00.159
that flag really well. And then
I think they use that not to be

969
01:03:00.320 --> 01:03:05.719
like and we're going to tell some
big, sprawling epic. It's a very

970
01:03:05.760 --> 01:03:09.119
personalized story about loss and grief.
And then they nailed that too. I

971
01:03:09.159 --> 01:03:13.480
thought the story was actually really well
done. I was getting more and more

972
01:03:13.519 --> 01:03:16.239
into it over time. There were
several touching moments. It's they don't like

973
01:03:16.519 --> 01:03:21.079
reserve all that for the end.
They sort of obey the rule threes where

974
01:03:21.400 --> 01:03:23.280
you know, you learn a lesson
early on, and then you learn another

975
01:03:23.360 --> 01:03:27.039
lesson in that same idea, and
it's a little bit harsher and a little

976
01:03:27.079 --> 01:03:30.719
bit tougher and a little bit more
moving. And then the final moments where

977
01:03:30.719 --> 01:03:34.440
it all comes home and you realize
what's been happening the whole time really did

978
01:03:34.639 --> 01:03:37.239
hit me. And that's what actually
ended up pulling me through, because I'm

979
01:03:37.280 --> 01:03:42.880
like at this point where I have
all the abilities and the combat does start

980
01:03:42.920 --> 01:03:45.599
to feel a little bit better,
like, Okay, well maybe one of

981
01:03:45.599 --> 01:03:47.519
these boss fights will actually be kind
of interesting. And then you get to

982
01:03:47.559 --> 01:03:51.400
the last boss fight and it's just
or the last couple of boss fights and

983
01:03:51.519 --> 01:03:54.000
it's just like all the rest,
there's nothing there. They are very simple,

984
01:03:54.280 --> 01:03:59.719
very basic. It doesn't feel fully
fleshed out. Again, and the

985
01:04:00.400 --> 01:04:04.199
escape sequences, there's several or ready
like escape sequences, and they are not.

986
01:04:04.480 --> 01:04:09.639
They just don't There's too many opportunities
for to get stuck on geometry.

987
01:04:09.880 --> 01:04:14.840
Sure, it doesn't feel exciting,
it just feels frustrating. It's overall like

988
01:04:14.880 --> 01:04:16.079
a lot of the game sort of
feels like that, where it's like these

989
01:04:16.079 --> 01:04:19.760
two things where it's like not fully
done as well as they could have.

990
01:04:20.079 --> 01:04:25.360
And then the story was pretty well
done and moving and overall I thought it

991
01:04:25.400 --> 01:04:28.480
was a pretty good time. It's
just nowhere near where it could have been.

992
01:04:28.639 --> 01:04:33.800
I oddly was reminded of Disney Illusion
Island from last year, where like,

993
01:04:34.840 --> 01:04:41.440
if there were a couple more refinements, I feel like Disney Illusion Island

994
01:04:41.440 --> 01:04:45.840
could be such a tighter game where
you could be more zippity do dyeing around

995
01:04:46.639 --> 01:04:51.480
in that game, and I feel
like, just tighten up a couple things

996
01:04:51.519 --> 01:04:57.320
with Zoo and Tales of Canzarzao and
then it could also be there. I

997
01:04:57.360 --> 01:05:00.440
think I found the speed, and
again, this is probably just the proximity

998
01:05:00.519 --> 01:05:04.840
of being so close to Prince of
Persia and Haites too, where like it

999
01:05:04.960 --> 01:05:11.960
is just like snappiness refined in terms
of movement. Uh heard it a little

1000
01:05:11.960 --> 01:05:16.239
bit in that department. But my
main gripe is not with that game.

1001
01:05:16.280 --> 01:05:23.639
Actually. Can someone help me please
remap the screenshot button on a Steam deck

1002
01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:28.519
because the free shot button is is
Steam button and right trigger right or right,

1003
01:05:28.559 --> 01:05:31.679
but bonner, I want one button
because sometimes like they'll they'll drop like

1004
01:05:31.719 --> 01:05:36.320
a little little nugget of dialogue button
boys. One button boys. I've gotten

1005
01:05:36.400 --> 01:05:39.719
used to it on the switch and
it's just so good on the switch.

1006
01:05:41.320 --> 01:05:45.239
I just need uh Steam artie,
man, I didn't I need like,

1007
01:05:45.400 --> 01:05:48.079
uh like one of the back pedal
buttons or whatever. H Oh, that's

1008
01:05:48.079 --> 01:05:50.280
a good idea. Maybe you should
be able to set that. You probably

1009
01:05:50.280 --> 01:05:54.679
can do that. I could probably
do that, right, because sometimes they'll

1010
01:05:54.719 --> 01:05:57.960
drop a nugget like a knowledge dart, and I'll be like, ah shit,

1011
01:05:58.119 --> 01:06:00.320
fuck, okay, yeah, I
thinking about my relationship with my parents

1012
01:06:00.360 --> 01:06:04.760
now, thanks, And then like
instead I'll just like kind of pause it

1013
01:06:04.880 --> 01:06:09.599
and like awkwardly pull out my phone
and just like snap a picture of it.

1014
01:06:09.840 --> 01:06:15.639
Okay, cool, Yeah, that's
that's a that kind of echoes my

1015
01:06:15.679 --> 01:06:17.880
experience, Grub. I was kind
of hoping that the Boston Counters would kind

1016
01:06:17.880 --> 01:06:24.039
of like ramp up in terms of
like scale over time. I think I'll

1017
01:06:24.039 --> 01:06:27.239
stick with it. Hearing that it's
like ten twelve hours is ish because I

1018
01:06:27.239 --> 01:06:30.360
do enjoy the story and where I'm
at with the story, and I think

1019
01:06:30.559 --> 01:06:32.840
and if you're enjoying that, you'll
you'll continue to get more out of it,

1020
01:06:32.960 --> 01:06:36.440
for sure. Grub, do you
think that, and Dan, do

1021
01:06:36.480 --> 01:06:41.960
you think that this could be like
someone's a good introduction to this style of

1022
01:06:42.079 --> 01:06:46.079
game, like just Metroid Veniers in
general. Yeah, I would probably.

1023
01:06:46.079 --> 01:06:53.559
I would say probably not because it
uses some of the accoutrement of yea of

1024
01:06:53.679 --> 01:06:58.000
Metroid Venus, but it's not really
like leveraging them to their full effect,

1025
01:06:58.239 --> 01:07:00.920
so to the point where it's like, oh I get my metro Venu metro

1026
01:07:00.039 --> 01:07:03.519
Venu's work. I think if you
want an introduction, you probably go to

1027
01:07:03.599 --> 01:07:08.559
something like or or Prince of Persia
right now. I think Prince of Persia

1028
01:07:08.719 --> 01:07:12.039
right now. Yeah, okay,
okay, Jeff, Jeff, I want

1029
01:07:12.039 --> 01:07:15.239
you to know that when I die, you have my permission to not have

1030
01:07:15.280 --> 01:07:17.559
to worry about going on some like
Big Spirit West to bring me back.

1031
01:07:17.559 --> 01:07:23.199
You can just let me go.
Okay, you do have to distribute Mike's

1032
01:07:23.239 --> 01:07:28.880
ashes at all the lands in Disney
World. Yeah, apparently Jeff is gonna

1033
01:07:28.920 --> 01:07:32.360
kill me anyways. Yeah, if
I had to kill Manati, come on,

1034
01:07:33.239 --> 01:07:39.480
I think you said, oh Mike, definitely. It's the funniest answer.

1035
01:07:39.559 --> 01:07:43.840
Oh god, I can imagine all
of us in like our our black

1036
01:07:43.880 --> 01:07:48.159
and white tuxes being very upset about
losing Mike Manati because Jeff Grubb had to

1037
01:07:48.239 --> 01:07:53.079
kill him. But we're okay with
Jeff Grubb being there that we just code

1038
01:07:53.079 --> 01:07:57.199
Grandma as we drink around the world
at Epcot. That sounds great for me.

1039
01:07:57.400 --> 01:08:00.119
Just like had some flaky skin it
came off, and then I in

1040
01:08:00.239 --> 01:08:02.199
that and just like put a sprinkle
of that in Disneyland, like I get

1041
01:08:02.239 --> 01:08:05.079
to take care of this. Now. How is that your real killer?

1042
01:08:05.119 --> 01:08:12.360
If you do that? Yeah,
that's a bigger problem than Jeff Grubb being

1043
01:08:12.440 --> 01:08:15.519
quoted that he's gonna kill it.
Just get busy some of my skin?

1044
01:08:15.159 --> 01:08:18.399
What are you talking about? I
mean, okay, honestly, like,

1045
01:08:18.479 --> 01:08:20.239
okay, I don't even have to
ask it up. What if I just

1046
01:08:20.239 --> 01:08:23.600
had a fleck come off, I
just throw it down on the ground.

1047
01:08:23.640 --> 01:08:29.439
Disney, that's as good as good
good, no, good, No,

1048
01:08:29.600 --> 01:08:36.279
that's good forever now And ask him
if I'm still the weird one. Oh,

1049
01:08:36.800 --> 01:08:41.880
I think it's just absolutely shoe box
man. Well, you know,

1050
01:08:42.039 --> 01:08:45.119
chef reactions. I think may also
be a Disney adult. So yeah,

1051
01:08:45.159 --> 01:08:49.640
oh, okay, weird. Okay, Now we got to get chef reactions

1052
01:08:49.720 --> 01:08:54.239
back, but not talk about food, talk about the theme parks. Yeah,

1053
01:08:54.359 --> 01:08:57.520
this is the angle, Dan,
we can do that. Do that?

1054
01:08:58.279 --> 01:09:00.039
Oh boy? All right, well, I think we're all gonna go

1055
01:09:00.079 --> 01:09:05.119
collectively shed some skin and code grammar
and our respective homes. Just the extra

1056
01:09:05.199 --> 01:09:09.680
flaky skin we got, just some
of that extra flick flex of skin.

1057
01:09:10.319 --> 01:09:14.520
Uh, folks, don't worry.
Well, we're gonna talk about Stellar Blade

1058
01:09:14.920 --> 01:09:18.199
later in the week during BCR.
Tons of things to say about that game,

1059
01:09:18.720 --> 01:09:21.800
and look at it, that game. We'll be back with the news

1060
01:09:21.880 --> 01:09:32.119
after this quick Brookie break breaking news
here. Uh is come to my attention

1061
01:09:32.479 --> 01:09:38.239
that close to an hour of this
podcast has elapsed and we have actually yet

1062
01:09:38.279 --> 01:09:45.000
to talk about Rebel Moon Part two. The scare Giver, the scare scargiver,

1063
01:09:45.239 --> 01:09:51.479
scargiver. Okay, I'm sorry,
scares, that's better. What was

1064
01:09:51.520 --> 01:09:58.800
that? What was the subtitle for
the first one? Okay, Rebel two,

1065
01:09:58.880 --> 01:10:05.680
Part Part one A Child on Fire? Oh wait, don't make any

1066
01:10:05.680 --> 01:10:11.119
sense. That's the subtitle. Yes, and they're doing the weird thing where

1067
01:10:11.119 --> 01:10:15.640
it's Rebel Moon dash part one colon
A Child of Fire? Something good project.

1068
01:10:15.680 --> 01:10:20.039
Does anyone like this? No?
There are some Snyder fans online that

1069
01:10:20.079 --> 01:10:24.199
will defend it, and they've never
said they like it though. Okay,

1070
01:10:24.239 --> 01:10:27.840
interesting, okay, yeah, good, good use of time. Yeah,

1071
01:10:27.840 --> 01:10:30.279
a good place to be in your
life, Dan, if you were to

1072
01:10:30.319 --> 01:10:35.319
guesstimate here where Rebel Moon Part two? The scare giver scargiver. I'm sorry,

1073
01:10:35.640 --> 01:10:40.279
sorry to keep butchering the title.
Everyone, you fucking better apologize.

1074
01:10:40.319 --> 01:10:44.760
I'm sorry, Zach. Where do
you think it is? Sitting on rotten

1075
01:10:44.800 --> 01:10:53.279
tomatoes right now? Twenty four?
Close? Fifteen? Okay, wow,

1076
01:10:53.760 --> 01:10:56.319
much worse. Still, what was
the first one? The first one was

1077
01:10:56.359 --> 01:10:59.319
like in the twenties, right,
I don't know. Did they both just

1078
01:10:59.319 --> 01:11:02.199
come out? No? The first
one came out last like late last year,

1079
01:11:02.239 --> 01:11:06.119
I think, okay, or maybe
early this year. I think sooner

1080
01:11:06.159 --> 01:11:10.840
than that. Yeah, there was. There was a very prominent commercial for

1081
01:11:11.319 --> 01:11:15.000
Rebel Moon Part two, The Scargiver
during WrestleMania. Oh really, Oh I

1082
01:11:15.039 --> 01:11:17.760
remember something coming on and a bunch
of people being like ah, and I

1083
01:11:17.800 --> 01:11:19.279
was like, I don't know what
the fuck this is. Yeah, I

1084
01:11:19.319 --> 01:11:23.880
think I went to get more cheese
steaks that day. Oh okay, this

1085
01:11:24.039 --> 01:11:27.439
was also the night where you were
dying, so I know I might have

1086
01:11:27.520 --> 01:11:31.840
been distracted. Yes, okay,
Yeah. The best movie on Netflix continues

1087
01:11:31.880 --> 01:11:36.560
to be Extraction too. What's fun? It's just nuts with Chris Emsworth.

1088
01:11:38.000 --> 01:11:41.319
It's like a call of duty mission
the entire time. Chris Emsworth is just

1089
01:11:41.359 --> 01:11:45.760
on a tear of like I'm gonna
make movies. Yeah, right, in

1090

01:12:00.279 --> 01:12:05.319

Knives Out Guy's captain America? I see,

1094
01:12:05.399 --> 01:12:10.319

would I conflict that? Okay,

1095
01:12:12.199 --> 01:12:14.520
I mean they're they're on the same
team, so I see. Okay,

1096
01:12:14.640 --> 01:12:16.960

at Chris Pratt because he's, uh,

1097

he wants to tear down some house
he bought because he already tore it down.

1098
01:12:23.159 --> 01:12:26.840
Yeah, I don't know. Am
I getting in trouble for offering a

1099
01:12:26.920 --> 01:12:29.960
mild defensive Chris Pratt? He bought
the house, he could tear it down

1100
01:12:29.960 --> 01:12:32.479
if he once soon? I don't
care some architects, Like everyone suddenly really

1101
01:12:32.520 --> 01:12:39.159

1102
01:12:39.319 --> 01:12:43.760

01:13:23.800 --> 01:13:27.560
other than Chris Pratt, because you

okay? Oh and uh Hannah Wattingham
from uh Ted Lasso. Anyway,

1115
01:13:36.159 --> 01:13:47.479
the news Snoop Dogg Snoop Dogg plays
Snoop Cat. All right, we gotta

1116
01:13:47.520 --> 01:13:53.479
stop showing. Oh look, dog
Google, it's a Snoop dog plays Snoop

1117
01:13:53.520 --> 01:14:00.319
Cat. That's like Zidia is Beechy
level right there. Stoop Dogg is Snoop

1118
01:14:00.359 --> 01:14:03.319
Cat. I'm gonna go upstairs and
yell that to my children until they stopped

1119
01:14:03.319 --> 01:14:09.319
loving me. Wasn't he always snoop
Cat because he was like Snoop lying for

1120
01:14:09.399 --> 01:14:14.319
a little bit that really didn't take. That was a bad gimmick change.

1121
01:14:14.239 --> 01:14:21.199
Yeah you didn't get it over,
brother, Yeah yeah, Snoopy smart jokers

1122
01:14:21.279 --> 01:14:30.800
thick with Snoop Joker. There's always
a joker stick mark amongst you. It's

1123
01:14:30.800 --> 01:14:35.800
like when Lil Wayne got into skateboarding. All right, uh we got we

1124
01:14:35.880 --> 01:14:41.359
gotta do it like an old TNA
podcast. That's what we really nevern week

1125
01:14:41.439 --> 01:14:45.439
by WEEKNA. But I listened to
the Deadlocks about it, and I was

1126
01:14:45.479 --> 01:14:49.600
like Why wasn't I watching TNA.
I am soon going to watch the like

1127
01:14:49.680 --> 01:14:54.279
the Monday Night War TNA with Dan
at some point because that would just be

1128
01:14:54.359 --> 01:14:58.920
incredible. We think we've started doing
the power BombCast more frequently, so we

1129
01:14:59.039 --> 01:15:01.520
don't talk about rest everywhere else.
All right, No, we're still gonna

1130
01:15:01.560 --> 01:15:04.880
do this, but then we do
more on the side grub. What is

1131
01:15:04.920 --> 01:15:11.560
Atari doing. Atari's brought back the
Infrogram's brand as a publishing label. What

1132
01:15:12.680 --> 01:15:15.479
I don't know. Atari's revived the
Infragram's brand is the publishing label, the

1133
01:15:15.479 --> 01:15:19.800
brand which hasn't been actively used for
around two decades. We'll focus on acquiring

1134
01:15:19.880 --> 01:15:27.039
and publishing games that differ from Atari's
core IP portfolio. Infograms will prioritize game

1135
01:15:27.119 --> 01:15:31.279
preservation and began its journey by acquiring
totally reliable delivery service from tiny Build.

1136
01:15:31.560 --> 01:15:38.840
Atari's CEO Wade Rosen express excitement about
bringing back Infogram's reputation for publishing unique games.

1137
01:15:40.960 --> 01:15:45.399
They like Infograms is one where I
never really fully understood what they were

1138
01:15:45.439 --> 01:15:49.119
other than that's the fake Atari.
Yeah, I mean sure, go ahead.

1139
01:15:49.439 --> 01:15:51.359
They just released a bunch of stuff. I mean it's like, it's

1140
01:15:51.399 --> 01:15:55.560
like random what they did there's no
identity there. It's like a lot of

1141
01:15:55.640 --> 01:15:59.760
license games. It's the cliff Higher
game, Putt Peed goes to the moon

1142
01:16:00.199 --> 01:16:02.960
walk over a second, two,
the animal scheme, Alone in the Dark,

1143
01:16:03.000 --> 01:16:06.840
backyard Baseball. So y oh,
is this abouiver Kelsey's wanted to bring

1144
01:16:06.880 --> 01:16:11.359
back the backyard sports? Is that
what this is? I mean, I

1145
01:16:11.720 --> 01:16:15.199
think it's just like them trying to
find ways to expand in a way that

1146
01:16:15.319 --> 01:16:18.560
like feels like honest or something like
that. But it feels weird. I

1147
01:16:18.600 --> 01:16:25.039
mean, okay. Infograms in the
nineties acquired Ocean Grimlin Interactive DMA Design,

1148
01:16:25.039 --> 01:16:30.119
which was rock Star Accolade, Beam
Software, GT Interactive, Hasbro, Interactive

1149
01:16:30.159 --> 01:16:32.920
Micropros, and Atari itself. So
like, Infograms was making a ton of

1150
01:16:33.199 --> 01:16:39.039
acquisitions and then they changed their name
from Infograms to Atari after making that acquisition

1151
01:16:39.239 --> 01:16:43.000
and sort of just faded away because
no one cared about Infograms. So I

1152
01:16:43.039 --> 01:16:45.800
do, I do wonder what this
is going to. I don't think there's

1153
01:16:45.800 --> 01:16:47.079
a strong brand there, but you
know, if you just want to expand

1154
01:16:47.119 --> 01:16:50.960
whatever, but don't act like like
everyone's real excited at Infograms is back.

1155
01:16:53.720 --> 01:16:58.560
I saw that that's weird. Apparently
they published the power version of Megamon eight

1156
01:16:58.760 --> 01:17:02.680
and get it from the ants CG
movie. Oh per game Boy Killer.

1157
01:17:03.479 --> 01:17:05.840
Yeah, I don't. I have
no memory of this. And what are

1158
01:17:05.840 --> 01:17:13.159
you pac Man? What eight?
Pa? Mega meg Many Oh meg Man

1159
01:17:13.199 --> 01:17:15.399
eight? Okay, that makes more
sense, CAPC. Well, Nintendo had

1160
01:17:15.439 --> 01:17:19.159
to publish Mega Man six in the
West because Captain's like, we're not doing

1161
01:17:19.199 --> 01:17:26.399
that, so into the matrix.
Uh man, that game had so much

1162
01:17:26.479 --> 01:17:30.600
hype at Godzilla, Detroyal Monsters,
Melee, that Gamekey One that people like

1163
01:17:30.880 --> 01:17:34.000
that game r. It's a very
you know, it's not like they did

1164
01:17:34.079 --> 01:17:38.239
bad games. It's just completely there's
no identity, right, what do you

1165
01:17:38.319 --> 01:17:43.039
want from an infograms in twenty twenty
four Jersey Devil? Wait? Wait is

1166
01:17:43.079 --> 01:17:45.640
there there their mascot or their logo? This whole time it's just been like

1167
01:17:45.680 --> 01:17:50.680
an armadillo and I didn't know.
Yeah, wow, yeah, mister nuts,

1168
01:17:51.479 --> 01:17:57.439
mister z Infograms. It was like
a French company, right or am

1169
01:17:57.439 --> 01:18:03.439
I making that up? Like nos? Yeah, headquarters Taris France. Okay,

1170
01:18:04.199 --> 01:18:08.640
right, so and this doesn't feel
like it's that either. I don't

1171
01:18:08.680 --> 01:18:13.840
know. Okay. The games listed
here like Asterix V Rally ten ten,

1172
01:18:13.920 --> 01:18:20.039
the Smurfs and Looney too talking about
the French cartoons, the Asterix world.

1173
01:18:20.199 --> 01:18:25.000
I well, listen, I like
like the current modern day Atari where they're

1174
01:18:25.039 --> 01:18:29.800
like, we're gonna lean way hard
into nostalgia and then preserving that stuff,

1175
01:18:30.039 --> 01:18:32.159
not just like, oh, we're
gonna fart out a bunch of stuff that

1176
01:18:32.159 --> 01:18:35.039
has the name of a game you
like on it. We're actually gonna try,

1177
01:18:35.079 --> 01:18:38.439
like they just did that lunar Lander
game. That's like trying to like

1178
01:18:38.479 --> 01:18:40.840
do more of lunar landered. And
they've done this a bunch of times,

1179
01:18:41.079 --> 01:18:44.520
Like this is a decent idea,
and I hope they lean into that.

1180
01:18:44.600 --> 01:18:47.119
I just don't know how infograms helps
them accomplish that, but I'll whatever go

1181
01:18:47.159 --> 01:18:51.920
ahead and try, all right.
PlayStation is officially bringing trophies to PC.

1182
01:18:53.079 --> 01:18:57.560
Ghost of Sushimo's Director's Cut will be
the first PlayStation game on PC to feature

1183
01:18:57.560 --> 01:19:01.840
a new PlayStation overlay include trophies,
friends list, settings, and profiles.

1184
01:19:02.319 --> 01:19:05.960
Players who sign into their PSN accounts
on PC can earn the same trophies as

1185
01:19:06.000 --> 01:19:11.319
the PS five version. The game
supports both PlayStation trophies and Steam and Epic

1186
01:19:11.399 --> 01:19:15.439
Game Store achievements. PlayStation overlay is
optional for single player and Legends mode.

1187
01:19:15.600 --> 01:19:19.279
The addition of trophy support was the
first rumored last year, following the edition

1188
01:19:19.319 --> 01:19:25.840
of PSN support to Marvel's Spider Man
Remastered on PC. This feels like another

1189
01:19:25.840 --> 01:19:30.039
step towards Sony making PC a bigger
part of what they're doing. Do you

1190
01:19:30.079 --> 01:19:34.079
think this leads to them building a
store like a PlayStation store on PC?

1191
01:19:34.720 --> 01:19:42.159
And is this something that you guys
are interested in using? No? Yeah,

1192
01:19:42.439 --> 01:19:45.880
I mean I'm interested in playing PlayStation
games on PC. I don't know

1193
01:19:45.920 --> 01:19:48.760
if I need a separate thing to
launch it and UI and all that stuff.

1194
01:19:48.760 --> 01:19:50.680
I like the idea of getting trophies
there, even though I don't really

1195
01:19:50.720 --> 01:19:54.520
pay attention to it anymore. Well, okay, let me let me float

1196
01:19:54.520 --> 01:19:57.159
this idea. This was like when
we've talked about this in the past week.

1197
01:19:57.359 --> 01:19:59.960
This is what I've said, is
like, Okay, what if there's

1198
01:20:00.159 --> 01:20:03.239
PlayStation store that you need to use? But the benefit is you get the

1199
01:20:03.279 --> 01:20:06.000
game day and date when it launches
on PS five, but now you can

1200
01:20:06.039 --> 01:20:10.239
play it on PC and then otherwise
it comes to Steam a year later.

1201
01:20:10.479 --> 01:20:14.119
Would you would you buy game from
a cross save and all that stuff?

1202
01:20:14.199 --> 01:20:16.439
Yeah, cross saved maybe cross by
if I could do that, And I

1203
01:20:16.479 --> 01:20:18.520
mean, do you think you'd be
able to play anything on Steam Deck?

1204
01:20:18.880 --> 01:20:21.399
You'd probably do some Linux work around
or something. You gotta join me in

1205
01:20:21.399 --> 01:20:26.359
that Roger Ally world. Yeah,
you could use your flip use that.

1206
01:20:26.479 --> 01:20:30.760
Oh yeah, I that Yeah,
maybe sometimes certain use cases. I've never

1207
01:20:30.800 --> 01:20:33.399
against the idea of being able to
play my stuff on more things, especially

1208
01:20:33.399 --> 01:20:38.479
if they'll talk to each other and
cross save and things like that. Yeah,

1209
01:20:38.640 --> 01:20:42.119
I think, uh, the likely
scenario here is Sony probably does do

1210
01:20:42.199 --> 01:20:45.680
something along those lines. But I
don't think they will abandon Steam either.

1211
01:20:45.680 --> 01:20:46.760
They'll keep put the names on the
scheme just the way they have. I

1212
01:20:46.760 --> 01:20:50.000
don't think anyone should be painting Sea. We keep seeing the games that don't

1213
01:20:50.000 --> 01:20:54.479
come on steams seem to like not
do as great as maybe you wouldn't want

1214
01:20:54.479 --> 01:20:57.439
them to. Yes, And then
it all kind of all comes back.

1215
01:20:57.680 --> 01:21:00.000
Nix is the studio that does a
lot of the ports for station, is

1216
01:21:00.039 --> 01:21:02.920
doing the work on this overlay,
so least, very least it will probably

1217
01:21:02.920 --> 01:21:08.520
work fine. Do you think any
of like the tiers of PlayStation Plus would

1218
01:21:08.520 --> 01:21:13.560
get any benefit from like a PC
store? Perhaps, you know that's probably

1219
01:21:13.600 --> 01:21:17.039
something they do include eventually right where
it's uh that subscription gets you access to

1220
01:21:17.079 --> 01:21:20.479
a certain number of games on the
PlayStation store on the PC. That could

1221
01:21:20.560 --> 01:21:24.560
happen. Yeah, yeah, that
I could get down with. Maybe they

1222
01:21:24.560 --> 01:21:29.680
would get me to pay for PlayStation
Plus again yeah, same. We'll see

1223
01:21:30.359 --> 01:21:31.920
they are gonna they are moving more
in the direction of PC at all times

1224
01:21:31.960 --> 01:21:35.680
though, so we'll see how this
elaborates in the future. ESA says members

1225
01:21:35.680 --> 01:21:41.399
won't support any plan for libraries to
preserve games online. This is from the

1226
01:21:41.439 --> 01:21:45.000
Electronic Software Association or I'm sorry,
the Electronic Software Assocition continues to oppose efforts

1227
01:21:45.000 --> 01:21:49.159
towards the game preservation. In a
recent hearing held by the US Library of

1228
01:21:49.199 --> 01:21:55.239
Congress Copyright Office, the esay's lawyer, Steve England, said that the ESA's

1229
01:21:55.319 --> 01:22:00.159
members would not support any combination of
limitations to provide remote access to archived games

1230
01:22:00.439 --> 01:22:04.479
for video game researchers. So basically, the companies that make up the essay,

1231
01:22:04.560 --> 01:22:08.159
all the big video game companies,
are saying, no matter what,

1232
01:22:08.159 --> 01:22:12.560
we're not going to let libraries put
video games up to be played online in

1233
01:22:12.760 --> 01:22:18.119
archives. We are completely against that. Like the Video Game History Foundation,

1234
01:22:18.199 --> 01:22:21.520
a bunch of others are like working
towards trying to make that happen. The

1235
01:22:21.720 --> 01:22:27.039
ESA keeps trying to throw up roadblocks
there, and they are not like down

1236
01:22:27.119 --> 01:22:31.119
with any sort of version of this, which feels like kind of frustrating because

1237
01:22:31.199 --> 01:22:35.079
so many of these games that they're
talking about preserving are games that you cannot

1238
01:22:35.079 --> 01:22:40.479
play any other way or have been
lost to time or have licensing issues.

1239
01:22:40.520 --> 01:22:44.560
That means that these companies aren't going
to sell them again, and researchers probably

1240
01:22:44.560 --> 01:22:47.359
should be playing these games. Still
does seem important, but the essay is

1241
01:22:47.359 --> 01:22:49.359
going to continue to standing in the
way. Do you guys think there's any

1242
01:22:49.359 --> 01:22:53.920
budgeting there? I mean house,
are they going to like sell their bad

1243
01:22:54.199 --> 01:22:58.000
Ai Ringmasters of these games ten years
from now or you know, they're shitty

1244
01:22:58.039 --> 01:23:02.640
compilations of absolutely no thought or effort
put into them. If John Drake isn't

1245
01:23:02.640 --> 01:23:05.760
going to remake quack Shot, then
allow people to get there from libraries.

1246
01:23:06.520 --> 01:23:10.479
Yeah, this is kind of on
Drake, Yes, kind of most things

1247
01:23:10.520 --> 01:23:14.479
are yes, Wow, it's actually
the story does go that just scolds Drake

1248
01:23:14.520 --> 01:23:16.920
for several paragraphs here. Yeah,
yeah, understandable. Are you telling me

1249
01:23:17.079 --> 01:23:26.159
that everyone in hip hop is not
dissing Drake the Rapper, but it's yeah,

1250
01:23:26.279 --> 01:23:30.640
yeah, he's just a ghostwriter for
everything wild. Yeah, it doesn't

1251
01:23:30.720 --> 01:23:32.079
know his baby's mama, I think, is what they say. They're not

1252
01:23:32.079 --> 01:23:36.359
taking shots at Drake, They're taking
quack shots at John. Yes, all

1253
01:23:36.520 --> 01:23:42.119
right, thanks for joining us,
everybody. Is what is what we've learned

1254
01:23:42.159 --> 01:23:49.640
today? One good joke A week's
coming out. Todd Howard wants to avoid

1255
01:23:49.640 --> 01:23:55.479
putting dates on Elder Scroll six and
fall Out five. Todd Howard, the

1256
01:23:55.479 --> 01:24:00.520
game director empathet the Game Studios that's
provided an update on the company's upcoming games.

1257
01:24:00.000 --> 01:24:03.840
Elder Scroll six remains the studio's focus, followed by Fallout five, but

1258
01:24:03.920 --> 01:24:08.840
Howard emphasized that they are also working
on other projects, including Fallout seventy six

1259
01:24:08.880 --> 01:24:14.159
and Starfield updates Fallout five, and
it is clearly not getting a date.

1260
01:24:14.199 --> 01:24:15.600
The last time they were like,
hey, we're even like working on stuff

1261
01:24:15.640 --> 01:24:18.079
and will be coming out you know, in the future. They were talking

1262
01:24:18.079 --> 01:24:23.159
about Elder Scroll six way back in
twenty eighteen, and that game is still

1263
01:24:23.319 --> 01:24:27.199
very far off in the year twenty
twenty four, so that seems like a

1264
01:24:27.239 --> 01:24:31.239
bad idea. Yeah, uh,
these these companies are this company is like

1265
01:24:31.319 --> 01:24:33.920
God to like figure out something to
do with Fallout in the meantime. Though,

1266
01:24:34.000 --> 01:24:40.199
right it's it's hard because you know, I think what everyone's like,

1267
01:24:40.199 --> 01:24:43.319
Oh, I have someone else make
it. I don't think Bethesa once that

1268
01:24:43.720 --> 01:24:45.000
happened. I don't think they're going
to let that happen. I don't think

1269
01:24:45.039 --> 01:24:48.800
that Bethesda is thrilled that when you
know the Fallout game hit, everyone's like,

1270
01:24:48.840 --> 01:24:50.840
what's the best Fallout? A lot
of people are like, uh,

1271
01:24:51.119 --> 01:24:56.119
the only one Bethesa didn't make in
the last twenty years. I think that

1272
01:24:56.119 --> 01:25:00.439
that's probably a bit of a sort
point. Do you remember how I used

1273
01:25:00.439 --> 01:25:02.000
to say on our podcast at the
times, like I think they should should

1274
01:25:02.039 --> 01:25:03.920
not make Star Foot I was like, if I was the charge would have

1275
01:25:03.960 --> 01:25:08.119
canceled it. I'm not saying I
was right, and I honestly mean that.

1276
01:25:08.159 --> 01:25:10.920
I honestly mean that, like,
maybe it's worth it to establish an

1277
01:25:11.000 --> 01:25:14.319
IP. But it's funny to me
how many people now are like, I

1278
01:25:14.319 --> 01:25:17.359
wish they didn't make Starfields that we
were closer to Fallout five, Yeah,

1279
01:25:17.439 --> 01:25:20.079
it was. It seems like the
kind of thing where they'll probably benefit from

1280
01:25:20.119 --> 01:25:25.920
like learning lessons. But I get
what you're saying, Okay, for the

1281
01:25:25.920 --> 01:25:28.920
folks that have played more Starfield than
me, which is a lot of people

1282
01:25:28.960 --> 01:25:33.760
because I barely played it other than
examining a wooden duck a lot, could

1283
01:25:33.800 --> 01:25:41.600
you potentially make a catastrophic DLC that
just turns it into Fallout? Sure,

1284
01:25:41.680 --> 01:25:45.399
it's already fall I mean what you
would do is you would release like a

1285
01:25:45.399 --> 01:25:47.439
big expansion that just takes place on
one planet, and then it could actually

1286
01:25:47.439 --> 01:25:51.600
be Fallout. You wouldn't have to
worry about the cumbersome planet traveling. You

1287
01:25:51.640 --> 01:25:56.840
can actually like make a map and
like have explorations. You can go and

1288
01:25:56.880 --> 01:26:00.560
explore it. Like that's what they
should do the Starfield deal. See,

1289
01:26:00.640 --> 01:26:02.600
I mean it'll be a bit naked, like, oh, this really is

1290
01:26:02.640 --> 01:26:06.520
just Fallout in space, but that
would be better. Do you think they

1291
01:26:06.600 --> 01:26:13.880
have another Starfield? It's kind of
interesting because like before it be yeah,

1292
01:26:13.880 --> 01:26:16.399
because they're invested, But it is
like, well, that would push back

1293
01:26:16.479 --> 01:26:20.439
our next elder scrolls in Fallout by
seven or eight years again, right,

1294
01:26:20.520 --> 01:26:24.520
It's just kind of like, man, maybe that's the one to be,

1295
01:26:24.560 --> 01:26:27.560
Like, Oh, Obscenia can make
a new star Field if they want,

1296
01:26:27.960 --> 01:26:30.720
and they'll be like no, thank
you actolutely. Yeah, I don't think

1297
01:26:30.720 --> 01:26:34.359
they ever will. I think it
was it'll set them up for the future,

1298
01:26:34.399 --> 01:26:38.159
but it will be looked at as
an experiment that didn't quite work out

1299
01:26:39.319 --> 01:26:42.600
all right. And then, also
speaking of Fallout, Fallout TV show is

1300
01:26:42.640 --> 01:26:45.920
returning for a second season according to
Amazon. Amazon confirmed this the show's doing

1301
01:26:45.960 --> 01:26:48.720
really well. Didn't any of you
guys end up watching it? Not yet

1302
01:26:48.880 --> 01:26:53.039
three episodes in? I think,
Uh. I know, there's like a

1303
01:26:53.079 --> 01:26:56.520
whole debate online about the whole binging
thing, but I think just because it

1304
01:26:56.720 --> 01:26:59.960
all dropped at the same time,
I'm just gonna get to it when I

1305
01:27:00.079 --> 01:27:02.680
get to it. Yeah, sure, it's I thought it was pretty okay.

1306
01:27:02.880 --> 01:27:05.439
It's not like, uh didn't blow
my socks off or anything, but

1307
01:27:05.439 --> 01:27:09.439
it's pretty. It's better than a
lot of other video game TV shows.

1308
01:27:09.840 --> 01:27:12.960
I didn't really give Halo a chance
though, unfair to compare it to that,

1309
01:27:12.960 --> 01:27:15.399
but it looks better than what Halo
looked like to me from a distance.

1310
01:27:15.479 --> 01:27:17.720
Yeah, if you gut into my
head, I would probably go with

1311
01:27:17.840 --> 01:27:23.880
Fallout five times out of five rather
than Halo or the Twisted Metal Show,

1312
01:27:23.960 --> 01:27:26.680
which is the Halo show on I
don't think I realized there was a full

1313
01:27:30.880 --> 01:27:35.279
free is it like on master Chief
and everything like a high budget You can

1314
01:27:35.359 --> 01:27:39.560
see his ass. Yeah, people
don't like it. It's weird. The

1315
01:27:39.680 --> 01:27:44.479
show is, but in his face
it's people are more upset more. I

1316
01:27:44.479 --> 01:27:47.239
guess Sex with the Covenant, Yeah, he fucks. He cuts Cortana,

1317
01:27:47.439 --> 01:27:54.039
master Cheeks cuckoldress. Ye. Master
Cheeks is definitely pretty good. Jan Yeah,

1318
01:27:54.159 --> 01:27:58.079
thank you. I for me,
Like, I didn't watch The Last

1319
01:27:58.079 --> 01:27:59.800
of Us, and I'm sure it's
a good show, but I'm just like,

1320
01:28:00.439 --> 01:28:01.920
is like kind of fun, and
I'm more for that. So I

1321
01:28:01.920 --> 01:28:04.479
would also choose Fallout over that,
and I did, and I had a

1322
01:28:04.520 --> 01:28:08.800
good time with it. I can
also see while they're doing a second season

1323
01:28:08.840 --> 01:28:11.880
they set a lot of that stuff
up. It's obviously a fun world to

1324
01:28:11.920 --> 01:28:14.319
be in, and it's paying off. A lot of people are playing those

1325
01:28:14.319 --> 01:28:16.880
games. One hundred and sixty thousand
concurreents for Fallout four over the weekend,

1326
01:28:16.920 --> 01:28:20.600
a ton of people were playing Fallout
four, and like sixty thousand were playing

1327
01:28:20.600 --> 01:28:24.880
fall Out seventy six, So uh, they're really going to get a benefit

1328
01:28:24.880 --> 01:28:30.039
from that. This is very random, but I watched beetlejuice for the first

1329
01:28:30.039 --> 01:28:33.199
time since I was a kid over
the weekend. If Michael Keaton didn't want

1330
01:28:33.239 --> 01:28:38.319
to do beeal juice for beetlejuice,
beeal juice, fucking throw Walter Goggins in

1331
01:28:38.399 --> 01:28:44.119
that bitch. Oh god, he's
call yeah, yeah, wow, did

1332
01:28:44.640 --> 01:28:48.840
everything? Yeah yeah, Walton fine. Oh okay, you're his new best

1333
01:28:48.840 --> 01:28:51.840
friend, Mike. Yeah, you
learned about his existence a week ago.

1334
01:28:55.279 --> 01:29:00.720
I saw it all that gug since
I saw the community. Be careful you

1335
01:29:00.720 --> 01:29:03.279
say, yeah, beatle Juice is
name. I did. Look. I

1336
01:29:03.279 --> 01:29:09.399
don't mean to bring up Ted too, but I saw us ted too.

1337
01:29:09.560 --> 01:29:15.640
But I did see a seat on
Facebook. Okay, all right, I

1338
01:29:15.720 --> 01:29:17.239
wanted to make sure we knew what
you were talking about. I did just

1339
01:29:17.279 --> 01:29:19.520
see a seat on Facebook. That
was pretty funny. Where he's in the

1340
01:29:19.560 --> 01:29:23.640
courtroom and he's like things aren't going
well. It's like beetle juice, beetle

1341
01:29:23.720 --> 01:29:26.239
juice, and Mark Walber is like, shut the funk up, we don't

1342
01:29:26.239 --> 01:29:30.560
want that guy running around in here. He's like, no, it's fine.

1343
01:29:30.560 --> 01:29:33.079
He'll be on like you're messing with
powers. You don't understand. That's

1344
01:29:33.079 --> 01:29:38.000
funny. Caught a little bit of
that Ted show. It's not that bad

1345
01:29:38.039 --> 01:29:41.520
either. Yeah. I see a
lot of clips of that on my Facebook

1346
01:29:41.520 --> 01:29:44.000
to the plant where I'm like,
this is not just people uploading things,

1347
01:29:44.039 --> 01:29:48.119
this is a marketing How many shows
the Pearl and have a lot and he's

1348
01:29:48.119 --> 01:29:51.439
got that? Does The Orville still
going? People love get? Every time

1349
01:29:51.479 --> 01:29:55.079
it goes away? People get I
should watch The Orville? I mean I

1350
01:29:55.079 --> 01:30:00.800
would really like what is that?
It's a Star Trek him doing a Star

1351
01:30:00.880 --> 01:30:05.039
Trek next generation parody, but like
a sincere parody. Yeah, yeah,

1352
01:30:04.000 --> 01:30:09.319
okay, all right, let's go. Let's keep going here. Kingdom Come

1353
01:30:09.359 --> 01:30:13.520
Deliverance too has officially been announced,
with the trailer in first details. They're

1354
01:30:13.520 --> 01:30:15.000
going to release it, I think
later this year, and I'm not sure

1355
01:30:15.000 --> 01:30:19.720
if it's early access or not.
But are you guys Kingdom Come Deliverance players,

1356
01:30:19.720 --> 01:30:25.560
did you guys? It's his historical
basingg Yeah, Kingdom out of here?

1357
01:30:26.439 --> 01:30:32.199
This is like a good joke.
Don't push it. Like, I'm

1358
01:30:32.199 --> 01:30:34.920
a little bit more interested in this
than I think I think I was even

1359
01:30:34.960 --> 01:30:38.039
in the first one, just because
it's like that they've had so much time

1360
01:30:38.079 --> 01:30:43.600
to like make an open world game. But I don't know it's hard to

1361
01:30:43.600 --> 01:30:46.520
make open world games interesting We've seen
over and over again. So they were

1362
01:30:46.560 --> 01:30:53.000
also very shitty with the messaging behind
the first game, Yeah, which specifically

1363
01:30:53.119 --> 01:30:57.039
turned me off of that completely.
Yep, me too. I'm just lot

1364
01:30:57.039 --> 01:30:59.800
a big fan of like the super
like accurate, like if you know,

1365
01:31:00.640 --> 01:31:03.399
in real historical medieval times, everybody
spoke like shit and there was dirt everywhere,

1366
01:31:03.520 --> 01:31:05.640
you know, it's like, eh, I mean I was a bit

1367
01:31:05.680 --> 01:31:09.159
of that in Dragon's Soong Wat too, which is kind of like one of

1368
01:31:09.199 --> 01:31:11.520
the things that throws me off with
that one. Honestly, I'm like,

1369
01:31:11.680 --> 01:31:14.800
this is all very ugly, and
I get it if you're like living in

1370
01:31:14.840 --> 01:31:17.560
that time, a lot of things
would have been ugly. But I'll go

1371
01:31:17.600 --> 01:31:20.840
place like you need your wife foos, Yeah, I need, Yeah,

1372
01:31:20.840 --> 01:31:25.039
I need, I need, I
need my wife, foods and chrome and

1373
01:31:25.159 --> 01:31:29.000
like everything's gonna have like a blue
shiny aura to it, like corn and

1374
01:31:29.199 --> 01:31:35.520
a robot for no reason. Angels
and angels are hot are hot? Uh.

1375
01:31:35.680 --> 01:31:40.800
Meta's partnering with Xbox I say it
opens quests os to third party hardware

1376
01:31:40.840 --> 01:31:44.359
makers. Meta, the company behind
the quest of VR headsets, is announced

1377
01:31:44.399 --> 01:31:47.960
that it will open up its Meta
Horizon OS operating system uh to third party

1378
01:31:48.000 --> 01:31:55.199
hardware makers. Partners set to develop
new mixed reality devices include Xbox, Lenovo,

1379
01:31:55.359 --> 01:31:59.439
and Asis. The collaboration with Xbox
will result in a limited edition Meta

1380
01:31:59.520 --> 01:32:04.560
quest and inspired by Xbox whatever that
means, As who says, Republic of

1381
01:32:04.600 --> 01:32:09.880
Gamers will focus on developing a high
performance gaming headset. Lenovo, the co

1382
01:32:10.039 --> 01:32:13.760
designer of the Oculus rift s,
will create a mixed reality device for productivity,

1383
01:32:13.840 --> 01:32:17.880
learning, and entertainment. Real quick, have you guys seen Mark Zuckerberg

1384
01:32:17.920 --> 01:32:23.199
recently? Oh my god, now
is he like like kind looks like Jack

1385
01:32:23.239 --> 01:32:27.640
Harlow? Do you know Jack Harlow
is no? Hold on, he looks

1386
01:32:27.760 --> 01:32:34.399
like a white the Rock okay,
looking like from Starour images. I know

1387
01:32:34.479 --> 01:32:39.359
he was doing like moy Tie or
something. He looks like he's becoming one

1388
01:32:39.359 --> 01:32:42.520
of the Paul Brothers. Wow,
this first thing that popped up, he's

1389
01:32:42.560 --> 01:32:45.840
straight up looks like an older Paul
brother. Yes, yes, it looks

1390
01:32:45.880 --> 01:32:48.600
he looks better. He just he
looks better. I hate to give the

1391
01:32:48.640 --> 01:32:53.720
guy credit. Wait, really,
clearly it's a million dollar effort to get

1392
01:32:53.800 --> 01:32:57.239
him to look like this. Like
he was doing an interview. He was

1393
01:32:57.239 --> 01:33:00.560
doing an interview where he was like
holding a mike with his fingers like they

1394
01:33:00.600 --> 01:33:03.239
do on TikTok, and I'm like, I know for a fact he's got

1395
01:33:03.239 --> 01:33:06.319
like a like a pr person telling
him hold it like that, it'll make

1396
01:33:06.319 --> 01:33:12.560
you seem more human because that's what
the kids do. But whatever, So

1397
01:33:12.680 --> 01:33:15.600
yeah, this it seems like this
is their their play for the future in

1398
01:33:15.720 --> 01:33:18.399
VR. Let more of these companies
come in and make VR headsets because they

1399
01:33:18.399 --> 01:33:21.640
don't want to keep making them themselves, or if they want more people,

1400
01:33:21.720 --> 01:33:28.199
more players in the space. How
like steam machines. It's like steam machines,

1401
01:33:28.199 --> 01:33:30.159
which is why you want people evoking
whenever you're talking about the future of

1402
01:33:30.159 --> 01:33:34.720
your hardware, that begs the question, how interested are you all in VR

1403
01:33:34.800 --> 01:33:40.079
headsets beyond the ones you already have? I mean, I don't have a

1404
01:33:40.159 --> 01:33:43.279
quest three yet, so like part
of me wants to get one of those

1405
01:33:43.439 --> 01:33:46.720
at some point, I like mine? What I like mine? Yeah,

1406
01:33:47.000 --> 01:33:49.359
sure, I would like it.
It may be the last one I ever

1407
01:33:49.399 --> 01:33:53.399
need, although like I'm out now, I'm so far past them, Like,

1408
01:33:53.520 --> 01:33:55.399
I guess there will be a quest
for it some point. Now It's

1409
01:33:55.439 --> 01:33:58.920
like, well, well, I
get the Xbox Quest. Yeah, I

1410
01:33:59.000 --> 01:34:01.520
don't know. I don't know.
It's it's a kind of a weird move

1411
01:34:01.560 --> 01:34:04.159
because again, that was kind of
the problem with the steam machines, right,

1412
01:34:05.000 --> 01:34:08.079
It's like, I kind of just
want a Steam machine. I want

1413
01:34:08.119 --> 01:34:09.600
to know what's one to get.
And I was like, well, here's

1414
01:34:09.760 --> 01:34:13.239
eighteen of them at vastly different prices
and functionalities. I like, I don't

1415
01:34:13.479 --> 01:34:15.560
I don't know which one to gets. I'm just not going to get any

1416
01:34:15.560 --> 01:34:17.920
of them. No, I understand
that. Yeah. Actually, I want

1417
01:34:17.920 --> 01:34:21.760
to go back to the Mark Zuckerberg
conversation I've got because I think I got

1418
01:34:21.760 --> 01:34:27.720
in trouble for seemingly like I was
complimenting his appearance. I don't care everybody,

1419
01:34:28.239 --> 01:34:32.560
you're you're more of a musky guy. Yeah, yeah, you like

1420
01:34:32.720 --> 01:34:36.039
cowboy hats? All right, never
mind, let's just go keep moving with

1421
01:34:36.119 --> 01:34:41.199
a story. Uh. I was
going to say, this is the power

1422
01:34:41.600 --> 01:34:45.920
of anyone wearing a gold chain.
I think, Yeah, I think all

1423
01:34:45.960 --> 01:34:50.399
of us are like handsome looking individuals. I think we'd get like a plus

1424
01:34:50.439 --> 01:34:54.920
ten charisma each of us if we
added a small gold chain. Could I

1425
01:34:55.479 --> 01:34:59.159
used to have one? Yeah?
Yeah, you're you're Italian? You could

1426
01:34:59.159 --> 01:35:01.720
pull it off. I don't think
I oh, I thought you said.

1427
01:35:01.720 --> 01:35:06.319
I thought you were talking about money. Oh sorry bad. I used to

1428
01:35:06.319 --> 01:35:10.199
have one like yeah, an Italian
horn and then but I have so much

1429
01:35:10.279 --> 01:35:15.199
chest here get caught in there and
exactly exactly you get like a fat donkey

1430
01:35:15.279 --> 01:35:24.760
chain. I'm gonna send this one
of uh of Mark Zuckerbird looking just like

1431
01:35:24.800 --> 01:35:27.960
the rock. There we go,
okay, good, all right, that's

1432
01:35:28.840 --> 01:35:31.800
you know, it's a turtle.
Is that a real photo? I think

1433
01:35:31.800 --> 01:35:38.279
it's real. It looks photo shots. Yeah, he looks like this looks

1434
01:35:38.359 --> 01:35:44.760
photoshop like angels and demons. I
want to believe. I continue to choose

1435
01:35:44.760 --> 01:35:46.840
to believe. I don't care what
people say. Big K nine right,

1436
01:35:46.960 --> 01:35:50.479
like Jesus, I could really rip
it to your flesh. All right,

1437
01:35:50.800 --> 01:35:57.600
let's go here, let's see next
story. Oh yeah, Embracer Group.

1438
01:35:57.640 --> 01:36:00.159
I announced his plants to split into
three separate company. Embracer Group, a

1439
01:36:00.199 --> 01:36:05.239
Swedish game and media holding company,
plans to split into three separate entities as

1440
01:36:05.319 --> 01:36:11.239
Mody Coffee Staining, Friends and Middle
Earth and Enterprises and Friends. Mike,

1441
01:36:11.279 --> 01:36:13.760
you want to sing the song again? Yeah, come on it. Come

1442
01:36:13.800 --> 01:36:15.520
to the place where fun never ends
come on and it's side of the party

1443
01:36:15.600 --> 01:36:20.239
of Midworth Enterprises and Friends. Each
company will be listed separately on Nasdaq Stockholm,

1444
01:36:20.239 --> 01:36:24.159
which is what this is really all
about. This that makes it a

1445
01:36:24.199 --> 01:36:28.319
lot easier for them to sell stock
and like get the like offer stock options

1446
01:36:28.359 --> 01:36:32.760
and make a lot more money from
raising funds through stocks. So that will

1447
01:36:32.760 --> 01:36:35.600
make it easier for them to get
that money and then do more stuff to

1448
01:36:35.640 --> 01:36:41.000
make more games. Previously, Embrace
Reres just one thing was kind of at

1449
01:36:41.039 --> 01:36:44.720
a dead end for a lot of
those options and they just couldn't they couldn't

1450
01:36:44.760 --> 01:36:47.760
raise any more money. This also
will make them a leaner so that when

1451
01:36:47.760 --> 01:36:51.159
a game comes out and does well, it'll probably look better on the balance

1452
01:36:51.199 --> 01:36:56.800
sheet for a smaller entity. Overall, let's see coffee stand in Friends will

1453
01:36:56.840 --> 01:37:02.079
be focused on like PC console mobile
games from a lot of like indie equivalent

1454
01:37:02.119 --> 01:37:06.680
developers. And then the Middle Earth
Enterprises and Friends, which is just an

1455
01:37:06.680 --> 01:37:11.720
incredible name, will be focused on
like big PC console Triple A games.

1456
01:37:12.640 --> 01:37:15.039
It's called it Middlewarth Enterprises. It's
not like we're gonna play a two games.

1457
01:37:15.039 --> 01:37:18.600
Canna have that logo like, ah, excuse me, Laura Cross not

1458
01:37:18.720 --> 01:37:21.640
a wizard and then like and Fred
shows up like oh okay, okay,

1459
01:37:21.640 --> 01:37:25.159
she's one of the free one of
their friends. It's like the care bear

1460
01:37:25.279 --> 01:37:28.359
cousin friends of friend of Frod.
Oh yeah, Like, what the hell,

1461
01:37:28.600 --> 01:37:30.119
we're just calling something else. It's
not related to Middlewards. What do

1462
01:37:30.199 --> 01:37:34.399
we like If one of the subsidiaries
was just like the midwarth company, I

1463
01:37:34.399 --> 01:37:39.079
would get it. But now we
have this stuff in there too. Uh?

1464
01:37:39.119 --> 01:37:42.800
Whatever? Dumb? This is after
they cut like thirteen hundred jobs over

1465
01:37:42.840 --> 01:37:45.119
the last several months and sold a
bunch of studios, sold a bunch of

1466
01:37:45.119 --> 01:37:47.680
studios, shut down a bunch of
studios, They shut down the team that

1467
01:37:47.720 --> 01:37:53.680
was making like time Splitters things like
that. And apparently Lars Winger First is

1468
01:37:53.720 --> 01:37:57.239
going to do an interview with Games
Industry dop is tomorrow, so we'll see

1469
01:37:57.239 --> 01:38:00.479
what he has to say for himself. In the meantime, though, everyone

1470
01:38:00.479 --> 01:38:04.159
feeling better about Embracer Group now No, yeah, there's no there's still no

1471
01:38:04.359 --> 01:38:09.119
vision. I don't know. Look, I guess this is probably the right

1472
01:38:09.359 --> 01:38:13.199
move. I suppose, it's just
you know, I can't imagine having much

1473
01:38:13.239 --> 01:38:16.560
faith in the direction going on over
there, Like just like all this stuff

1474
01:38:16.600 --> 01:38:20.600
happened because there was like one investment
thing from Saudi Arabia that they were banking

1475
01:38:20.640 --> 01:38:27.079
on that didn't happen, so their
entire world exploded. Do you see a

1476
01:38:27.119 --> 01:38:30.920
world grub where these three different divisions
don't do so hot that they just become

1477
01:38:30.960 --> 01:38:36.640
one division again? Sure, one
re embraced. Yeah, re embracing happens.

1478
01:38:36.720 --> 01:38:41.800
Yeah, large winger versus I think
CEO of all three companies, so

1479
01:38:42.079 --> 01:38:45.600
they basically are already that cool.
I don't think that's three separate companies.

1480
01:38:46.520 --> 01:38:50.039
Yeah, weird. It's a weird
thing that they're doing here. It's definitely.

1481
01:38:50.239 --> 01:38:54.520
It's definitely a financing trick. That's
what this all is. So we'll

1482
01:38:54.520 --> 01:38:58.039
see how that works out for It's
where nick Con has Rossmackdown and NXT,

1483
01:38:58.319 --> 01:39:00.359
so it's got three separate companies,
say thing right, right? Uh huh

1484
01:39:00.399 --> 01:39:03.800
yeah, well you know they have
different gms. You know, Ava's exactly

1485
01:39:05.000 --> 01:39:08.760
different companies. Yeah, it's like
a ring of honor in a w or

1486
01:39:08.800 --> 01:39:12.720
self exactly different names. Yeah.
God, who was it? Was it

1487
01:39:12.800 --> 01:39:15.279
Eddie Kingston that quit to go to
Ring of Honor? A real stupid I

1488
01:39:15.319 --> 01:39:19.039
always like that ship. That's really
very Yeah, it's great that they defend

1489
01:39:19.079 --> 01:39:23.880
the Ring of Honor belts only on
Ring of Honor. Look that last fair

1490
01:39:23.920 --> 01:39:26.399
fee was good, but there was
like some match was like six three versus

1491
01:39:26.439 --> 01:39:30.039
three and everybody had a belt when
they came out. Yep, too many

1492
01:39:30.039 --> 01:39:32.720
belts. Uh. Tales of the
Shire, a Lord of the Rings game

1493
01:39:33.039 --> 01:39:36.479
got details in the first trailer.
It's second set to release in the second

1494
01:39:36.479 --> 01:39:40.840
half of twenty twenty four. And
this game just looks like there's a war

1495
01:39:40.920 --> 01:39:44.479
going on over there. But we're
fucking hobbits. We're just gonna drink beer

1496
01:39:44.479 --> 01:39:48.479
in farm with hobbits right now.
We're fucking them. We're fucking we're finding

1497
01:39:48.479 --> 01:39:54.760
their hobbit holes. Yeah, listen, would that's what a hobbit hole is

1498
01:39:55.600 --> 01:40:02.680
you? Yeah? You said I
only had what good joke of lightning can't

1499
01:40:02.720 --> 01:40:09.079
strike twice? It looks fun like
you're the Lord of the Rings freak.

1500
01:40:09.119 --> 01:40:13.079
You gonna play this? Ah?
You? Maybe? Hey, why we're

1501
01:40:13.079 --> 01:40:16.399
getting a middlework given that's not said
in mortar. Finally, that is kind

1502
01:40:16.399 --> 01:40:18.640
of nice. That's why I'm excited
about it. And that's kind of it.

1503
01:40:18.640 --> 01:40:21.720
And I don't know if I'm actually
gonna enjoy this or or even play

1504
01:40:21.760 --> 01:40:24.640
it. But I just like the
idea of a Lord of the Rings game.

1505
01:40:24.680 --> 01:40:27.960
That's like we could do something somewhere
else. Yeah, just go and

1506
01:40:28.000 --> 01:40:30.680
be a hobbit and have a nice
time. That's you know, there might

1507
01:40:30.680 --> 01:40:32.960
be legs there. It depends so
much in the execution with that idea.

1508
01:40:33.439 --> 01:40:39.920
Oh yeah, his name is Elijah
Wood. Ah okay, let's see here

1509
01:40:40.039 --> 01:40:42.079
a new Xbox in the Oh yeah, go ahead. Oh no, I

1510
01:40:42.119 --> 01:40:45.960
was gonna ask, is there,
like I guess it's after the third movie,

1511
01:40:45.000 --> 01:40:48.840
but there's a time of peace right
in the Lord of the Rings.

1512
01:40:49.399 --> 01:40:51.960
Oh yeah, yeah, it's,
as far as we know, an almost

1513
01:40:53.000 --> 01:40:56.640
perpetual piece. After that, there's
a couple of remnants, like the Easterlings

1514
01:40:56.680 --> 01:41:01.520
and whatnot that to take care of. Yeah, elaborate, Well, you

1515
01:41:01.560 --> 01:41:09.399
don't want to know. Lucy James
is also being activated. Yeah, but

1516
01:41:09.560 --> 01:41:12.399
I think the whole point of this
is like, you know, they're they're

1517
01:41:12.439 --> 01:41:15.720
halflings. They don't care. They're
in their own world. Uh, and

1518
01:41:15.760 --> 01:41:16.960
so even if there is a war
going on, they're still like living their

1519
01:41:17.000 --> 01:41:20.800
life and I'm dead until Sharky shows
up. Yeah, there's the scouring of

1520
01:41:20.840 --> 01:41:24.359
the Shire and all that stuff.
But that's not in the movie. Don't

1521
01:41:24.399 --> 01:41:28.199
worry about it, all right.
A new Xbox Indie Game Showcase is coming

1522
01:41:28.239 --> 01:41:31.039
next week. They're gonna have Chuck
song. Yeah you think this is where

1523
01:41:31.039 --> 01:41:34.159
it happens, Mike, I don't
know. Do it again? No,

1524
01:41:34.760 --> 01:41:38.880
shut the fuck up. Have confidence. You did it for the Nintendo Indie

1525
01:41:38.880 --> 01:41:41.199
World Showcase, where it had no
chance to show it up. I was

1526
01:41:41.239 --> 01:41:45.600
feeling in it. You feel it
again, but you don't feel it now,

1527
01:41:45.680 --> 01:41:47.880
So that's why it probably will show
up here? Is that feeling it?

1528
01:41:48.000 --> 01:41:53.439
He actually, all right, you're
probably right. Uh. There'll be

1529
01:41:53.560 --> 01:41:58.479
games like Dungeons of Hinterberg thirty three, Immortals of Hints. I what Dungeons

1530
01:41:58.479 --> 01:42:02.920
of hint I? Yes, Jeff, I would have live at Head type

1531
01:42:02.960 --> 01:42:08.039
bergs that like duck Burg. Yeah, but every everyone's a hint I.

1532
01:42:08.399 --> 01:42:17.399
It's a different type of quackshot happening
over there. That's a good podcast.

1533
01:42:18.439 --> 01:42:20.960
It'll be on April twenty ninth,
and then, uh, the Indie World

1534
01:42:20.960 --> 01:42:25.920
Showcase did happen last week? I
got I listed some games here on the

1535
01:42:25.960 --> 01:42:28.920
rundown if everyone wants to pick one
that that stuck out to them. I

1536
01:42:29.039 --> 01:42:32.199
liked Steam World Heist too. Yes, yeah, yeah, I think it

1537
01:42:32.239 --> 01:42:35.119
was fun. I'm glad and more
folks will be able to check out TM

1538
01:42:35.199 --> 01:42:39.640
and T Splintered Fate. Yeah.
I think that's it. That's like fully

1539
01:42:39.720 --> 01:42:42.319
out now right, we should play
that? Oh yeah, let's do that.

1540
01:42:42.840 --> 01:42:45.399
Okay, Yeah, Mikey you have
to be Michael Angelo. I'm sorry.

1541
01:42:46.279 --> 01:42:48.199
I know it's been my lot of
life. Like when I was a

1542
01:42:48.279 --> 01:42:51.319
kid, Mikey was my favorite,
like everyone, and now I'm almost a

1543
01:42:51.319 --> 01:42:54.600
little over it, Like all right, Mike you want you go, like

1544
01:42:54.640 --> 01:42:59.520
get a job or not? Everyone
tell was the guy? Yeah, that's

1545
01:42:59.520 --> 01:43:03.840
the nerd Uh. I liked Anton
Blast that Warrior Where Wrioland looking game?

1546
01:43:03.880 --> 01:43:06.560
Excuse me? That looked neat?
What's good? Dan? Did you ever

1547
01:43:06.560 --> 01:43:11.039
get around to watching that? I
know you were late that morning. Wait,

1548
01:43:11.119 --> 01:43:15.039
Pizza Quest or whatever? Wait?
What what are we talking about?

1549
01:43:15.359 --> 01:43:18.840
Anton Blast is not Pizza Tower?
What is what is this? We played?

1550
01:43:18.840 --> 01:43:27.199
And I was late that day?
I see, Hey, I was

1551
01:43:27.199 --> 01:43:30.279
there right when Slack told me it
was starting. I just forgot about time

1552
01:43:30.359 --> 01:43:32.720
zones. No, I have not
seen that. Does it just look like

1553
01:43:32.760 --> 01:43:38.800
Warrior Land? It looks like it
looks like Pizza Tower? And Warrial Lands

1554
01:43:38.960 --> 01:43:43.159
Pizza Tower though less Pizza Tower,
I don't. I don't love warrior Land.

1555
01:43:44.439 --> 01:43:45.920
Weird. Yeah it is weird.
Why did you see like don't love

1556
01:43:46.000 --> 01:43:53.119
you game Boy because it's a game
Boy franchise, but it was game Boy

1557
01:43:53.159 --> 01:43:57.279
Advanced when the game Boy got good
before game with fancy didn't like portable games.

1558
01:43:57.279 --> 01:44:01.479
We get it. That's correct,
disgusting. I think that does it

1559
01:44:01.479 --> 01:44:04.399
for the news though, because I
don't think Dan, you don't have a

1560
01:44:04.399 --> 01:44:08.680
game from the City World Showcase because
you didn't watch That's what I like,

1561
01:44:10.439 --> 01:44:15.119
aready, I'll take it. Europa
also looks pretty, quaint, looks mad,

1562
01:44:15.159 --> 01:44:18.159
whimsical. I like that. I
want to make I want to see

1563
01:44:18.199 --> 01:44:21.520
what a Yars Rising Metroid Vena means. That's weird bad. Yeah, but

1564
01:44:21.560 --> 01:44:24.600
that game does look bad, but
I want to find out what it looks

1565
01:44:24.680 --> 01:44:28.800
like. When I when I saw
Laura I and the laser eyes, I

1566
01:44:28.880 --> 01:44:30.960
just thought this was a Gilmore Girls
game, and I got kind of excited.

1567
01:44:31.560 --> 01:44:34.600
Sure, why not? Why wouldn't
it be? Yeah, I'm going

1568
01:44:34.640 --> 01:44:38.720
to I'm going to save you,
Jeff, and didn't bring up the metaphor

1569
01:44:38.920 --> 01:44:42.880
refittas. Yeah, I didn't watch
that but what was there details coming out

1570
01:44:42.880 --> 01:44:45.640
on my birthday. That's the biggest
detail. Yeah, we got we got

1571
01:44:45.680 --> 01:44:50.960
the release date. It is h
October eleventh, which is exciting. I

1572
01:44:50.960 --> 01:44:55.199
mean, you know, it does
look like Fantasy Persona a lot of ways,

1573
01:44:55.199 --> 01:44:58.560
but in a lot of interesting ways. I am very excited for this

1574
01:44:58.600 --> 01:45:01.039
is continuing that year of our Jeez, we've been talking about. Yeah,

1575
01:45:01.119 --> 01:45:04.000
it's gonna I think it might cap
off a great year of RPGs. Mikey

1576
01:45:04.840 --> 01:45:10.319
absoluolutely. I am fully on board. So you're fully on board now.

1577
01:45:10.520 --> 01:45:13.439
I think the last time we talked
about Metal four Refantasio, you were like

1578
01:45:13.520 --> 01:45:15.000
mostly on board you but you were
like, I don't know about fantasy.

1579
01:45:15.439 --> 01:45:17.960
I mean I'm so a little bit
of me is like, oh hey,

1580
01:45:18.079 --> 01:45:21.800
yeah, like we're gonna switch things
up by making it fantasy, right,

1581
01:45:21.840 --> 01:45:26.880
Okay, Like your whole the whole
thing with Persona was that we're the JRPG

1582
01:45:26.960 --> 01:45:31.399
series that isn't fantasy or sci fi
and now but it is like an interesting

1583
01:45:31.520 --> 01:45:35.680
enough looking spin on fantasy. So
whatever, Oh, it'll actually continuing the

1584
01:45:35.760 --> 01:45:43.560
year of RPGs. Shinnmagamie Tense five
Vengeance is also out now because I think

1585
01:45:43.560 --> 01:45:46.520
that was like a switch Switch exclusive
for a while, it'll be only on

1586
01:45:46.600 --> 01:45:49.680
Switch and now yeah, it's going
on other places. And this is kind

1587
01:45:49.680 --> 01:45:54.760
of that the version that's gonna add
some more stuff. I don't know.

1588
01:45:54.960 --> 01:46:00.439
I didn't really get into c T
five very much a few hours. It

1589
01:46:00.479 --> 01:46:03.039
was. It was very difficult.
I dipped pretty fast on that one.

1590
01:46:03.079 --> 01:46:08.279
But hey, if you're like a
Shinmagami freak, let's let your let your

1591
01:46:08.279 --> 01:46:11.560
flag fly higher. Now that's not
that's not out till June. Note.

yakus A game. During a cutscene,

1609
01:47:40.640 --> 01:47:43.720
Kurrau was knocked down. The shot
lingered on the bad guy, and my

1610
01:47:43.800 --> 01:47:46.439
daughter runs up and goes no no
no no no no no no no to

1611
01:47:46.479 --> 01:47:49.399
the bad guy while trying to push
him back, and then when it cuts

1612
01:47:49.399 --> 01:47:54.359
to cure you, she starts stroking
the TV saying is okay? Is okay?

1613
01:47:54.600 --> 01:47:57.800
Is okay? I had a great
laugh, but quickly had to pause

1614
01:47:57.800 --> 01:48:00.720
a cut scene when the bad guy
pulls out a gun. Is there any

1615
01:48:00.760 --> 01:48:03.920
good slash funny interactions that your kids
have had while watching you play video games?

1616
01:48:04.119 --> 01:48:08.199
Thanks for the podcast. I've been
listening since the beginning when it included

1617
01:48:08.199 --> 01:48:13.720
weird energy drinks Max from South Bend. Yeah, the kids will freak out

1618
01:48:13.760 --> 01:48:16.000
frequently whenever, like, well,
not just when I'm playing games. We'll

1619
01:48:16.000 --> 01:48:18.920
like play games together and we'll do
things like they'll find out, Okay,

1620
01:48:18.960 --> 01:48:24.880
we could have eight Kirbys fighting each
other in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, and

1621
01:48:24.920 --> 01:48:29.199
then they will just scream every time
the image comes up of like eight Kirby's

1622
01:48:29.239 --> 01:48:30.800
all on the screen. Data just
lose their mind, rolling on the ground

1623
01:48:30.880 --> 01:48:35.079
laughing. It's the best thing they've
ever seen. They're like, they're pretty

1624
01:48:35.560 --> 01:48:41.359
edgy kids. Like their favorite thing
right now is a video of the Blue

1625
01:48:41.399 --> 01:48:45.039
intro, but it's redone where Blue
does. It's the part where Brian gets

1626
01:48:45.119 --> 01:48:48.039
run over by a car and family
guy. It's like they cut one of

1627
01:48:48.039 --> 01:48:50.920
the dogs in Blue getting run over
by a car and they think that's the

1628
01:48:50.960 --> 01:48:54.920
funniest thing in the world. So
my kids have a weird sense of humor.

1629
01:48:54.960 --> 01:48:59.359
Anyhow, Hey, the last episode
of Blue gut wrenching, I haven't

1630
01:48:59.359 --> 01:49:04.159
watched it yet. The Sign or
the surprise. There's a shadow sign who

1631
01:49:04.279 --> 01:49:09.199
they shadow dropped the Blue episode apparently. I don't think that was a great

1632
01:49:09.199 --> 01:49:12.840
idea. I think they should have
spent time Mark Man the Shadow Drop skeptic.

1633
01:49:14.560 --> 01:49:21.560
Uh all right. Next email comes
from Drew. Drew writes in Hey

1634
01:49:21.600 --> 01:49:26.600
guys, last episode, you discussed
Star Wars Outlaws news about the price of

1635
01:49:26.640 --> 01:49:30.359
the additions and the Jaba Mission exclusive. The consent consensus seemed to be that

1636
01:49:30.439 --> 01:49:33.279
people were overreacting to the prices,
and you guys are still hype for it.

1637
01:49:33.479 --> 01:49:36.560
Do you feel like since the team
has trouble do you feel like the

1638
01:49:38.039 --> 01:49:42.239
team has trouble empathizing with prices for
games? Since most of you get codes

1639
01:49:42.279 --> 01:49:45.199
to review them for work, do
you feel like it also skews your views

1640
01:49:45.399 --> 01:49:47.800
on if you recommend a game to
others. Love the show and been a

1641
01:49:47.840 --> 01:49:51.039
listener since last year, and you
make my drives so much better? Drew,

1642
01:49:51.479 --> 01:49:55.439
Yeah, one hundred percent. I
had this realization on the last fire

1643
01:49:55.520 --> 01:49:59.359
Escape because I was talking about Tales
of Canzera and I was comparing it to

1644
01:49:59.399 --> 01:50:01.039
Prince of Persia, and Mary brought
up the thing of like, oh,

1645
01:50:01.039 --> 01:50:04.199
well, Prince of Persia is like
a fifty dollars game and Tales of Canzera

1646
01:50:04.399 --> 01:50:10.279
is like twenty or something, and
that did kind of recontextualize it. I

1647
01:50:10.319 --> 01:50:12.720
mean, because like that is something
like I tend to not really get into

1648
01:50:12.760 --> 01:50:15.199
those discussions because I haven't really had
to pay for games for like twenty years,

1649
01:50:15.199 --> 01:50:17.359
so it's like, but when that's
brought up to me, it's like,

1650
01:50:17.359 --> 01:50:20.520
oh, I could totally see how
that, like a twenty dollars metroid

1651
01:50:20.560 --> 01:50:25.079
Bania versus fifty dollars metrod Bania has
different expectations and things like that. So

1652
01:50:25.159 --> 01:50:28.800
yeah, I tend to not really
comment on that stuff much because I feel

1653
01:50:28.800 --> 01:50:31.359
like I can't really I don't have
the perspective on that. Yeah, I

1654
01:50:32.439 --> 01:50:36.119
these days, I buy most of
my Nintendo games because I'm in Nintendo jail

1655
01:50:36.439 --> 01:50:43.439
for a variety of reasons, mostly
Mike and and so I like Buddy and

1656
01:50:43.479 --> 01:50:45.399
those are like, those are the
games I want to be playing the most,

1657
01:50:45.439 --> 01:50:47.159
and so I kind of like have
put a little bit more of my

1658
01:50:47.199 --> 01:50:53.760
finger on the pulse. But yeah, I think for the Ubisoft Outlaws one

1659
01:50:53.920 --> 01:50:58.319
specifically, it was trying to figure
out what people were mad about, and

1660
01:50:58.399 --> 01:51:01.600
like I it was guessing that a
lot of the people who are yelling about

1661
01:51:01.600 --> 01:51:03.680
the price are also the people who
are gonna wait for it to go on

1662
01:51:03.720 --> 01:51:05.560
sale, which is what you should
do if you don't want to pay the

1663
01:51:05.560 --> 01:51:09.119
full price for it. And the
good news with Ubisoft Games as they always

1664
01:51:09.199 --> 01:51:12.399
do. So I think it was
like, yeah, people are upset about

1665
01:51:12.399 --> 01:51:15.039
this jab of the Hut mission.
But I think I think the perspective that

1666
01:51:15.079 --> 01:51:18.880
actually really does inform this is like
talking to game developers a little bit more

1667
01:51:19.159 --> 01:51:23.359
and knowing that a jab of the
Hut mission that is being put into an

1668
01:51:23.399 --> 01:51:27.079
extra tier is one hundred percent of
admission that was probably gonna get cut from

1669
01:51:27.119 --> 01:51:29.479
the main game anyhow, and they're
like, oh, let's just spruce it

1670
01:51:29.560 --> 01:51:31.720
up and put it in this and
that way we could sell as extra content.

1671
01:51:32.399 --> 01:51:35.000
A lot of that stuff gets edited
and left out, and I think

1672
01:51:35.039 --> 01:51:39.199
that's where at least my perspective was
coming from when we were talking about that.

1673
01:51:39.239 --> 01:51:41.279
I think, you know, both
things are true. Yeah, like

1674
01:51:41.319 --> 01:51:45.479
the way we consume games, the
way we get games is definitely different from

1675
01:51:45.079 --> 01:51:48.399
most consumers, the vast majority of
them. And I also do feel like,

1676
01:51:48.439 --> 01:51:53.479
you know, some of the anger
around some deals see stuff, it's

1677
01:51:53.479 --> 01:51:55.840
like I'm just not going I'm not
gonna worry about it. I'm not going

1678
01:51:55.880 --> 01:51:58.439
to buy that stuff I would never
even consider buying this. I mean,

1679
01:51:58.439 --> 01:52:01.640
look, I get code for DLC. I don't even bother redeeming the codes

1680
01:52:01.640 --> 01:52:05.119
because I just don't care about any
of that stuff anyways. Right, yeah,

1681
01:52:05.239 --> 01:52:10.079
yeah, but I mean it definitely
does happen sometimes where the price,

1682
01:52:10.560 --> 01:52:14.159
the effectiveness or the price pressure that
people feel doesn't get to me quite the

1683
01:52:14.159 --> 01:52:15.520
same. So, yes, that's
possible. Sure, Sure, I think

1684
01:52:15.560 --> 01:52:21.239
about time more than definitely price sometimes, and I realize that argument can like

1685
01:52:21.399 --> 01:52:26.720
be skewed sometimes if something is worth
x amount of hours per dollar. But

1686
01:52:26.800 --> 01:52:29.640
like, you know, I feel
like you were going to get your bang

1687
01:52:29.640 --> 01:52:33.239
for your buck when it comes to
something like rebirth, reload, infinite wealth,

1688
01:52:34.479 --> 01:52:38.439
and hey, you know, maybe
you will get more value out of

1689
01:52:38.439 --> 01:52:43.359
Auden Chronicles because that's not a sixty
dollars title, it's like forty forty five,

1690
01:52:44.319 --> 01:52:47.880
So maybe that will skew better for
you. But like when you're thinking

1691
01:52:47.880 --> 01:52:51.960
about the the currency of time and
how it's constantly running out and how we

1692
01:52:53.000 --> 01:52:57.399
can't get more of it, sure, then you know I don't consider something

1693
01:52:57.439 --> 01:53:01.880
like Iiden Chronicles worth it when I
could be spending that watching Beetle Juice.

1694
01:53:02.720 --> 01:53:06.800
Yep. Absolutely and how crazy of
a career. Huh, yeah, that's

1695
01:53:06.840 --> 01:53:11.840
a wild one. And people that
like are upset about Outlaws again, I

1696
01:53:11.880 --> 01:53:14.239
get it. It's just I can't
feel it. I don't, And I

1697
01:53:14.319 --> 01:53:15.359
feel like the reason I don't feel
the same way it is not because like

1698
01:53:15.479 --> 01:53:19.159
I'm not spending my own money.
It's I if I was, I would

1699
01:53:19.159 --> 01:53:21.319
feel the same way. I know
it because I just I would not be

1700
01:53:21.520 --> 01:53:26.319
considering in any world buying one hundred
and ten dollars version of a game.

1701
01:53:26.520 --> 01:53:28.680
That would just not And it's like, okay, so that missions in there,

1702
01:53:29.159 --> 01:53:30.119
and I feel like I'm not getting
that content. That's just not how

1703
01:53:30.159 --> 01:53:33.119
I view it. I'm like that
mission probably sucks and doesn't matter. Is

1704
01:53:33.159 --> 01:53:35.520
that where my mind goes? Is
this one one hundred and ten dollars that

1705
01:53:35.520 --> 01:53:39.760
you're referring to. There's a sixty
dollars version of the game, then the

1706
01:53:39.840 --> 01:53:42.800
one hundred and ten dollars for the
first one that has this jab of the

1707
01:53:42.840 --> 01:53:46.239
Hut mission. Is that digital or
physical? I think it's both. So

1708
01:53:46.279 --> 01:53:50.119
it's one hundred and ten digital with
the game and this Java thing. That's

1709
01:53:50.159 --> 01:53:55.439
it. I was not just the
there's a whole bunch of ext especially Okay,

1710
01:53:55.479 --> 01:53:59.880
okay, yeah, yeah, it's
all the typical bullshit that you know

1711
01:54:00.159 --> 01:54:02.920
normally care about with these things,
right, so you know all these games

1712
01:54:03.000 --> 01:54:05.319
have these editions. Yeah, to
be clear, I also think that it's

1713
01:54:05.359 --> 01:54:10.840
stupid. Yeah yeah, like I
yeah, I think it's not a good

1714
01:54:10.920 --> 01:54:14.720
thing. I just I can't get
too upset about it anymore. When was

1715
01:54:14.720 --> 01:54:19.039
the last time y'all dropped money on
like a big special edition joint? Oh

1716
01:54:19.039 --> 01:54:24.800
and Walker, the Final Fantasy fourteen
expansions. There's Danchos, there's my there's

1717
01:54:24.840 --> 01:54:28.079
my Warrior of Light palette in over
there. Yeah, looking pretty nice.

1718
01:54:28.520 --> 01:54:31.920
MMOs always do pretty nice ones.
I have to say I got the special

1719
01:54:32.000 --> 01:54:34.520
edition of links Awaking that just came
with the art book and stuff. That

1720
01:54:34.600 --> 01:54:39.319
was nice. I don't think I
ever have I mean like never old games,

1721
01:54:39.319 --> 01:54:42.399
like when I'm like collecting and stuff
like that, or but like not

1722
01:54:42.520 --> 01:54:45.319
like a new game. I don't
think I've ever bought a super special.

1723
01:54:45.439 --> 01:54:48.000
I remember being really excited for the
Charted Three Drinks exception one, because it

1724
01:54:48.039 --> 01:54:50.680
came with the statue and it came
with his ring, and his ring was

1725
01:54:50.680 --> 01:54:55.960
really important in that game. It's
very cool. Remember not having a PS

1726
01:54:56.000 --> 01:54:59.920
three at the time, but really
wanting to get the special edition of Infant

1727
01:55:00.199 --> 01:55:03.159
because I wanted that little messenger bag
that Cole had. Oh I just heard

1728
01:55:03.239 --> 01:55:06.960
I did buy the night Vision Goggle
Modern work for two. I was gonna

1729
01:55:06.960 --> 01:55:12.600
say I did think about that.
I got those standard one to review,

1730
01:55:12.840 --> 01:55:15.079
and then I was like, I
gotta get the fucking night vision goggles.

1731
01:55:15.159 --> 01:55:18.680
Yeah. I many of you guys
had the Halo three special edition cat helmet

1732
01:55:19.520 --> 01:55:24.079
had that. I was very close
to pulling the trigger, but I was

1733
01:55:24.119 --> 01:55:26.840
broken. Had to be one of
the best selling special just everybody had that

1734
01:55:26.880 --> 01:55:34.680
cat helmet. Uh ah right.
Billyo's next email comes from Alex in Bendigo,

1735
01:55:34.760 --> 01:55:41.079
Australia. Grub is right, goddamn
right. The glass half full is

1736
01:55:41.239 --> 01:55:45.560
absolutely milk. Okay, maybe I'm
not right. I'm on board with that.

1737
01:55:45.640 --> 01:55:50.199
I'm like, I sound insane because
that's where the spilt milk you're not

1738
01:55:50.479 --> 01:55:56.840
crying overcomes from. No, it's
not hot, just making thinks. Glad

1739
01:55:56.840 --> 01:56:00.479
I could clear that up for you. Alex and Bendago, Australia. I

1740
01:56:00.520 --> 01:56:02.720
don't believe you, Alex. I
mean it makes sense when he says it

1741
01:56:02.760 --> 01:56:06.439
though. No, no, it
doesn't. Well, where else did the

1742
01:56:06.479 --> 01:56:11.279
spilt milk come from? It's a
metaphorical spillm What what do you mean where

1743
01:56:11.279 --> 01:56:15.159
a cake come from? Somebody poured
it there from from a glass. Yeah,

1744
01:56:15.239 --> 01:56:19.000
there's no use crying over it,
Okay. Yeah. Uh. I'm

1745
01:56:19.039 --> 01:56:21.479
like trying to think why I thought
it was milk, and I have no

1746
01:56:21.520 --> 01:56:26.239
explanation. I think it's because Sean
was around, and then it was probably

1747
01:56:26.279 --> 01:56:29.640
Sean that did it, you know, Okay, I'm going to assume that

1748
01:56:29.720 --> 01:56:32.920
you think of different fluids around all
of us. All right, You think

1749
01:56:32.960 --> 01:56:36.319
of coffee when you see me,
You now think on crime when you see

1750
01:56:36.399 --> 01:56:40.279
Dan and pissed when I think of
Mike. Yeah, no, it's coke

1751
01:56:40.399 --> 01:56:46.079
zero. Actually, Mike, I
do think of you now. Whenever I

1752
01:56:46.119 --> 01:56:49.680
see a Coke zero, I think
like I'll meet Mike Manati. But that

1753
01:56:49.760 --> 01:56:54.199
pleases me. My niece asked a
very important question for the first time of

1754
01:56:54.199 --> 01:56:57.079
the day. She asked, do
you like pepsi or coke? And I

1755
01:56:57.159 --> 01:57:00.800
like looked at her dead serious.
I was like, we, Like I

1756
01:57:00.840 --> 01:57:03.960
would have said, he's lying to
you. They taste exactly the same.

1757
01:57:04.680 --> 01:57:09.119
Absolutely, No, you're insane for
that. You're saying crazy, you think

1758
01:57:09.439 --> 01:57:15.960
you think diet pepsi tastes the same
as regular coke pe versus regular coke.

1759
01:57:15.199 --> 01:57:20.079
Look, this is a neurological disorder. I believe you that they taste the

1760
01:57:20.079 --> 01:57:23.399
same to you. I want you
to know that that is not the case

1761
01:57:23.439 --> 01:57:26.840
for the vast majority of people.
It's not like you're tuned in and like

1762
01:57:27.039 --> 01:57:30.680
your neurons are. We're deluding yourselfs
the matrix. It's the same thing I

1763
01:57:30.960 --> 01:57:38.880
think. I don't think you are
locked in Dan, No, go drink

1764
01:57:38.920 --> 01:57:43.039
more Prime. I will pretend to
like because he just likes to be a

1765
01:57:43.039 --> 01:57:49.119
part of bits. I can't stop
drinking it. It's water, people,

1766
01:57:49.239 --> 01:57:59.439
It's superlous ice ice pop. Yeah, do you have me cherry freeze,

1767
01:57:59.479 --> 01:58:04.199
meta moon? What do we got
going on here? Scared? Why do

1768
01:58:04.239 --> 01:58:11.039
you have so many of them?
Because they're good? I got get strawberry

1769
01:58:11.079 --> 01:58:13.640
banana. You can find it on
Amazon. Strawberry banana is really good.

1770
01:58:13.800 --> 01:58:17.279
I had a strawberry banana. That
one is actually very good. We were

1771
01:58:17.319 --> 01:58:21.840
I was at Costco yesterday and I
saw Prime right there and I was about

1772
01:58:21.840 --> 01:58:25.600
to get it, and then the
blue pack, yeah, yeah, the

1773
01:58:25.600 --> 01:58:29.079
red green blue pack and My partner
looked at me and she said, go

1774
01:58:29.119 --> 01:58:31.119
ahead, get it, and then
I told her no, because you've shamed

1775
01:58:31.159 --> 01:58:34.560
me working things. I like,
I just looked in the fridge yesterday,

1776
01:58:34.640 --> 01:58:39.720
and Bonk went to the grocery store
yesterday and she found me UFC flavored prime,

1777
01:58:39.840 --> 01:58:44.119
and so I've got UFC flavored prime
in the bridge. Violence, but

1778
01:58:44.399 --> 01:58:46.880
I've got it. Yeah. I
was at Walmart. I was trying to

1779
01:58:46.920 --> 01:58:51.239
find the some Googa Foods accessories and
they had prime there, and I thought,

1780
01:58:51.359 --> 01:58:57.000
those fucking assholes and then walked past. Hey, while we're talking about

1781
01:58:57.039 --> 01:59:00.359
corporations and shit, right, you
know what fucking got me? And you

1782
01:59:00.359 --> 01:59:04.199
know what is actually crazy delicious?
The stupid little Caesars crazy puffs. Yeah

1783
01:59:04.199 --> 01:59:06.640
they're good, They're good, They're
solid. Mine was sold out, so

1784
01:59:06.680 --> 01:59:13.800
they canceled my whole order. I
was so mad. Cupcakes brought those up

1785
01:59:13.840 --> 01:59:16.039
to Jade Car and she seemed very
interested in the crazy puffs. She was

1786
01:59:16.039 --> 01:59:18.880
like a very good. I was
like, yes, Cargo, they are

1787
01:59:19.920 --> 01:59:24.720
they Does it taste like crazy break
because crazy bread is crazy? Yeah?

1788
01:59:25.000 --> 01:59:30.159
Yeah. It was like a Pepperoni
pepper. They bought pepperon they got peppers

1789
01:59:30.199 --> 01:59:36.359
and the pepperoni. They got some
ronis in that. I tried abbreviating pepperonis

1790
01:59:36.359 --> 01:59:41.039
as pepper and I'm like that they
put the pepperoni in the cheesy bread.

1791
01:59:42.880 --> 01:59:45.840
Why would we need any other food? I was thinking that, I think

1792
01:59:45.840 --> 01:59:49.279
we're done. I was thinking,
like, wow, we just you're crazy

1793
01:59:49.359 --> 02:00:00.199
Puffs and Chuck Hart whatever this way, Yes, oh god, you can

1794
02:00:00.520 --> 02:00:04.880
as twenty calories go out our wally
chairs. It'll be great less than the

1795
02:00:04.960 --> 02:00:09.720
last one. You know, all
those wally people were having a good time

1796
02:00:09.760 --> 02:00:13.000
to wally Caban Rude, that's true, you were happy. Not all of

1797
02:00:13.039 --> 02:00:16.600
them were fat, right, some
of them are fat. Alex messaging me

1798
02:00:16.680 --> 02:00:18.920
like you're gonna get diabetes from all
that prime. I was like, it's

1799
02:00:18.960 --> 02:00:23.880
one gram of sugar. Can't get
diabetes from super lows? I'm fine?

1800
02:00:25.000 --> 02:00:29.680
Is that true? Probably? No, you can't. You can't get diabetes

1801
02:00:29.680 --> 02:00:31.640
from super gross. You probably can
get a myriad of other things, but

1802
02:00:32.359 --> 02:00:40.960
superpowers, superpowers? Okay? Uh, medical advisors, maybe check in?

1803
02:00:41.039 --> 02:00:46.600
Maybe email POSI think it's healthy.
I know you do. Okay. Next

1804
02:00:47.920 --> 02:00:54.000
comes from Sean Denver. What's up, bobcast I just recently found on Spotify

1805
02:00:54.079 --> 02:00:58.760
a playlist called Video Game Guitars Volume
six, so naturally I had to listen

1806
02:00:59.319 --> 02:01:03.760
to the first got me wondering what's
your guys' favorite video game songs? Me

1807
02:01:03.880 --> 02:01:06.840
personally, I listened to Haavy Metal, so I leaned towards Doom Metal,

1808
02:01:06.840 --> 02:01:11.840
Heal Singer, and Devil May Cry. Anything that's got a heavy guitar rift.

1809
02:01:11.960 --> 02:01:15.479
Thanks Sean Denver, Colorado, Yahoo, Male Search, Organize Conquer.

1810
02:01:16.960 --> 02:01:23.600
Remember when Spotify had games Beat slash
us make a playlist for them because they

1811
02:01:23.600 --> 02:01:26.760
were launching that games channel. Oh
my god, I forgot about that.

1812
02:01:27.279 --> 02:01:30.399
I wonder if that's still on the
I'm gonna look that. I find if

1813
02:01:30.439 --> 02:01:32.520
the games Beat playlist is there.
Yeah, it was real weird. I

1814
02:01:32.520 --> 02:01:36.439
think that picture is just a picture
of you wearing a suit. Weird.

1815
02:01:38.520 --> 02:01:41.079
Yeah, I don't. I don't
think that playlist is on there anymore.

1816
02:01:41.199 --> 02:01:45.960
Yeah, okay, probably just the
Yeah. I try to show you how

1817
02:01:45.960 --> 02:01:49.880
good time scar was during Deno Derby. You weren't having it a good time

1818
02:01:50.000 --> 02:01:57.239
Scar cross on? Oh? Is
that the one I was narrating? Yeah,

1819
02:01:57.880 --> 02:02:00.439
which was funny. I like all
sorts of video game music. I've

1820
02:02:00.439 --> 02:02:04.640
been very much into the Ridge Racer
type four soundtrack right now. It's great,

1821
02:02:04.760 --> 02:02:09.399
uh, because I'm I'm in my
Vinyl era been picking up a couple

1822
02:02:09.399 --> 02:02:14.720
of soundtracks there. Symphony of the
Night, incredibly good music on that one.

1823
02:02:14.760 --> 02:02:18.680
I got the Streets of each two
Vinyl also, and All Timer Mega

1824
02:02:18.720 --> 02:02:23.840
Man has very very good music across
a bunch of games like Mega Man two

1825
02:02:23.840 --> 02:02:28.680
and Megamu three specifically are just all
time great soundtracks. I can listen to

1826
02:02:28.840 --> 02:02:38.319
constantly Duckberg to quack Shot. Hearing
that a lot. I'd be like,

1827
02:02:38.359 --> 02:02:42.479
I'll be walking around the house now
and I'll hear man Man Man Man Man

1828
02:02:42.720 --> 02:02:45.640
Man. Matt's like my kids singing
to herself because she's been playing so much

1829
02:02:45.640 --> 02:02:49.479
like Mario and Yoshi's Island and stuff, and so yeah, that's that's been

1830
02:02:49.479 --> 02:02:54.199
in my head as well. I'm
a big Nintendo music mark. Yeah,

1831
02:02:54.359 --> 02:02:59.840
sure, sure. Are you more
Aquatician or Sticker Bush Symphony? I go

1832
02:03:00.039 --> 02:03:01.680
back and forth, but I think
right now, I think if I was

1833
02:03:01.720 --> 02:03:05.199
gonna like listen to one for myself
for enjoyment, it would be Stickerbrush Symphony.

1834
02:03:05.279 --> 02:03:10.560
What's that? I think I'm sticker
Brush country country too. That's like

1835
02:03:10.640 --> 02:03:15.159
it's kind of like chill ambient but
still melodic. Country has incredible music.

1836
02:03:15.159 --> 02:03:17.319
I just don't know what they're like
track names of any of them. KI

1837
02:03:17.600 --> 02:03:21.920
did that. I was doing a
lot of video game music so I could

1838
02:03:21.920 --> 02:03:28.760
go three reload. Oh yeah,
that's absolutely The Oory games had very very

1839
02:03:28.760 --> 02:03:31.840
good music. The Final Boss them
and Will of the Whists like or Versus

1840
02:03:31.880 --> 02:03:36.119
Streak or whatever like used to listen
to that concept. I uh, I

1841
02:03:36.199 --> 02:03:42.520
constantly have Sledge Life ones album in
rotation all the time, just because I

1842
02:03:42.640 --> 02:03:48.800
like hearing Mold all the time and
I just like the feeling of Sledge in

1843
02:03:48.840 --> 02:03:55.239
my lungs. The best the best
song is is Cruising Blast theme song though

1844
02:03:55.399 --> 02:04:00.560
yeah number one, but yeah,
way up there, Honey to You is

1845

1847
02:04:11.399 --> 02:04:14.680
Oh. Maybe the best video game
song ever that no one listened to

1848
02:04:14.800 --> 02:04:19.399
is specifically the English version of the
Burning Rangers theme. But Burning Hearts,

1849
02:04:19.439 --> 02:04:24.840
not that Burning Hearts Dan Rocky for
different Actually, also, people really need

1850
02:04:24.880 --> 02:04:27.039
to check. You don't need to
play the game, because I never played

1851
02:04:27.039 --> 02:04:31.680
the game, but the soundtrack the
Paradise Killer is fucking fantastic, so good.

1852
02:04:32.479 --> 02:04:36.319

through six without knowing the next game. So we had so if we hear

1899
02:08:13.239 --> 02:08:16.600
one are like, oh that's number
one, we might be in trouble,

1900
02:08:16.600 --> 02:08:18.199
because then we might hear one later
that we really wish was number one,

1901
02:08:18.199 --> 02:08:22.159
but then we can't break in.
Yep. So you're you're luck. You'll

1902
02:08:22.159 --> 02:08:24.800
get it. I think I remember
too much. I'll leave us to grab

1903
02:08:24.840 --> 02:08:28.119
and Mitch. Okay, okay,
I did see that. Okay, okay,

1904
02:08:28.159 --> 02:08:31.880
all right? The first game here? Uh do you guys want me

1905
02:08:31.920 --> 02:08:35.720
to tell you where it placed on
the top three or top ten? That

1906
02:08:35.800 --> 02:08:37.119
doesn't really matter to me. Yeah, I don't think it'll affect it.

1907
02:08:37.159 --> 02:08:45.159
Thanks, all right, first game
Bioshocks Infinite? Where where did that ring?

1908
02:08:45.960 --> 02:08:50.159
Number three? It's pretty high,
man Boswak is so funny that game

1909
02:08:50.239 --> 02:08:54.640
got re evaluated immediately in a less
favorable way. I mean, so it's

1910
02:08:54.680 --> 02:08:58.960
one through six is what we're doing. One through six the top and the

1911
02:08:58.000 --> 02:09:01.520
rest of these games are going to
be in the the top three forever other

1912
02:09:01.600 --> 02:09:03.199
years, Mike, I would just
put this at six if we put it

1913
02:09:03.199 --> 02:09:05.760
as again, I don't think if
it's a bad I don't think it's a

1914
02:09:05.800 --> 02:09:09.479
bad game. But it's a game
that like did not accomplish its ambitions and

1915
02:09:09.640 --> 02:09:15.279
also has annoying story, shitty politics
that I really don't like. Yeah,

1916
02:09:15.800 --> 02:09:18.199
it's just a cowardly game. Yeah, it's kind of a cowardly game.

1917
02:09:18.239 --> 02:09:24.680
We'll put it at six. Okay, it is BioShock Infinite from number three,

1918
02:09:24.680 --> 02:09:28.079
and twenty thirteen is number six from
twenty twenty four. Yeah, twenty

1919
02:09:28.119 --> 02:09:35.199
four. Next up, Control?
Okay, Control is better than Bioshocking if

1920
02:09:35.199 --> 02:09:37.520
I don't know if it's like that
much better, Jeff, I want to

1921
02:09:37.560 --> 02:09:41.399
go back to this. Though pretty
bad, it's quite a bit better.

1922
02:09:41.520 --> 02:09:45.439
This was number two better in twenty
nineteen. I want to I want I

1923
02:09:45.479 --> 02:09:48.239
want to kind of put it around
three. Mike, I would be working

1924
02:09:48.279 --> 02:09:52.399
up to what four? I'm you
know what, I'm okay with that.

1925
02:09:52.479 --> 02:09:56.159
Let's do four because I'm not thinking
like we have four games left and they're

1926
02:09:56.199 --> 02:09:58.720
all again going to be top three
games. Okay, let's go with four.

1927
02:09:58.920 --> 02:10:01.479
That's fine again, all right,
Control? He is at number four,

1928
02:10:01.880 --> 02:10:05.159
And to be clear, like at
the time when I played Control,

1929
02:10:05.199 --> 02:10:07.439
I'm like, this is a strong
like eighty out of one hundred, Like

1930
02:10:07.640 --> 02:10:09.720
I like the game a lot,
but it's not one of my favorites.

1931
02:10:09.760 --> 02:10:11.800
Oh yeah, well we're thinking about
it as we are right now, right

1932
02:10:13.239 --> 02:10:18.640
yep? Okay? Cool? Oh
yeah, yeah, number three Bastian bash

1933
02:10:18.800 --> 02:10:24.159
I like Bastian. Uh this is
this was Super Giants first team, right,

1934
02:10:24.239 --> 02:10:28.840
yes, Giants Supermassive. I get
a member Giant. Yeah yeah yeah.

1935
02:10:28.880 --> 02:10:31.039
I just every time I've tried to
play Bashian, I've never fallen in

1936
02:10:31.039 --> 02:10:35.359
love with it. I know a
lot of people adore Bashian, so I

1937
02:10:35.359 --> 02:10:37.520
would probably I'd be okay with it
at three, but that's you know,

1938
02:10:37.600 --> 02:10:39.960
I'll kind of I think three is
fine. Yeah, I think three is

1939
02:10:41.000 --> 02:10:45.560
good. Okay, yeah, okay, yeah, three's good. Bastian remains

1940
02:10:45.600 --> 02:10:50.159
at number three because in twenty eleven
it was also number three. Okay,

1941
02:10:50.199 --> 02:10:54.000
then all right, next one.
This was number one in two thousand and

1942
02:10:54.079 --> 02:11:01.880
nine, uncharted two among thieves.
The remaining slot is one, two and

1943
02:11:01.920 --> 02:11:09.119
five. Okay. I really like
I'm one of your favorite games. It's

1944
02:11:09.119 --> 02:11:13.680
a very good game. It's so
much fun. Look everyone, all those

1945
02:11:13.720 --> 02:11:16.520
people chatter five man. The turnaround
on a chartered that people had baffles me

1946
02:11:16.680 --> 02:11:20.920
to this day. I don't know
where that came from. Do you feel

1947
02:11:20.079 --> 02:11:24.399
good about putting it at one?
I do. If you want, if

1948
02:11:24.399 --> 02:11:26.079
you are worried about something else showing
up, you want it at two.

1949
02:11:26.319 --> 02:11:33.279
How many games do we have left
two more after un charged more. I

1950
02:11:33.359 --> 02:11:37.439
don't know. I want to just
put it at one. Frankly, Yeah,

1951
02:11:37.520 --> 02:11:39.960
let's put it at one. I
bet, I bet the other two

1952
02:11:39.960 --> 02:11:43.279
games. Yeah, I'm I feel
good about that. So we'll have two

1953
02:11:43.359 --> 02:11:48.239
and five and five? Ok okay? Uh, number one locking in it?

1954
02:11:50.159 --> 02:11:54.800
Yes, all right, we should
do these for a whole BCR.

1955
02:11:54.439 --> 02:11:58.760
Yeah, totally like. I think
you picked the right number one. Yeah,

1956
02:12:00.279 --> 02:12:09.439
train mission in the Yeah, the
helicopter, it's better in the movie.

1957
02:12:09.760 --> 02:12:13.079
That scene is actually pretty good in
Mission Impossible Dead Record in part one

1958
02:12:13.279 --> 02:12:22.359
and Mission Impossible one with Ted's Mark
Wahlberg. Alright, number five here or

1959
02:12:22.359 --> 02:12:26.960
the next title near Automata. Oh, this is interesting, Okay, I

1960
02:12:28.119 --> 02:12:31.239
like Near, Jeff does not.
Okay, No, to be clear,

1961
02:12:31.560 --> 02:12:35.520
I appreciate Near. I just think
the combat is boring. Hmm okay,

1962
02:12:35.680 --> 02:12:39.800
okay, yeah, I don't.
I see what you mean. The combat

1963
02:12:39.880 --> 02:12:43.479
is very simple. It's I just
I just personally got bored by it.

1964
02:12:43.520 --> 02:12:46.159
I guess it's we get that.
In my opinion, it is boring.

1965
02:12:46.680 --> 02:12:50.439
I do think five is probably fine
for it. To be honest, it's

1966
02:12:50.479 --> 02:12:54.920
a very good game. I'm not
really bad about it. Bet some people

1967
02:12:54.000 --> 02:13:00.520
ched, let's put it five.
But for music Near Automata, that's songs.

1968
02:13:00.760 --> 02:13:03.880
Songs in that game are incredible,
very good soundtrack, very good aesthetics,

1969
02:13:03.279 --> 02:13:07.000
a lot to lick in your all
right, I think this winds up

1970
02:13:07.039 --> 02:13:13.600
working out because the final choice that
is automatically at number two is Tetris Effect.

1971
02:13:15.039 --> 02:13:18.159
Yeah. Oh cool, God,
you did a really good job.

1972
02:13:18.640 --> 02:13:22.239
This might just be how I would
have writd these games to be. I

1973
02:13:22.239 --> 02:13:24.439
feel like chats could be bad,
but this is probably just how I would

1974
02:13:24.479 --> 02:13:28.319
have actually rtd these games. I
might have put Near above control if I

1975
02:13:28.359 --> 02:13:33.840
had some read the finalized list to
me, all right, starting from the

1976
02:13:33.880 --> 02:13:39.960
bottom, number six, BioShock Infinite
number five, Near Automata number four,

1977
02:13:39.159 --> 02:13:46.520
Control number three, Bastion number two, Tetris Effect number one on charted two

1978
02:13:46.720 --> 02:13:50.199
among thieves. Yeah, I guess
like I personally would have put near at

1979
02:13:50.239 --> 02:13:52.399
like three and pushed his other two. I would have put control. I

1980
02:13:52.399 --> 02:13:56.399
would have put near last other than
that. Yeah, yeah, I think

1981
02:13:56.399 --> 02:13:58.640
I would have switched control in Bastion. Yeah, I definitely would have done

1982
02:13:58.640 --> 02:14:03.880
that. Yes, Yeah, all
right, cool, Corey. I love

1983
02:14:03.039 --> 02:14:07.279
doing these blind rankings. These are
very fun. I think we could stretch

1984
02:14:07.319 --> 02:14:09.399
a whole podcast to take care of
this if we wanted to do like a

1985
02:14:09.399 --> 02:14:13.720
top ten or something. Yeah,
and again there's said that TikTok filter that

1986
02:14:13.800 --> 02:14:15.920
just does this for you, that
gives you random games, So we could

1987
02:14:15.920 --> 02:14:18.600
just do that. Yeah, that
would be fun. Oh man, Like,

1988
02:14:18.760 --> 02:14:22.880
where would you put GTA five or
whatever? All right, folks,

1989
02:14:24.159 --> 02:14:26.239
Shots out to Corey, Shots at
to y'all at home. We got a

1990
02:14:26.279 --> 02:14:30.239
lot of stuff popping off this week, and a lot of great stuff from

1991
02:14:30.319 --> 02:14:33.680
last week as well. If you
missed last week's dumb Truck with Chef reactions,

1992
02:14:33.159 --> 02:14:37.880
please go back and listen to that
Yes, fucking all timer of an

1993
02:14:37.880 --> 02:14:41.039
episode. Shots to Chef. You
talked about someone that fits right in right

1994
02:14:41.079 --> 02:14:48.119
away, and it was fully comfortable
giving us shit deservedly. It was fantastics.

1995
02:14:48.119 --> 02:14:52.319
Everything I wanted was perfect. Also, the WrestleMania Tailgate video dropped last

1996
02:14:52.359 --> 02:14:56.840
week. Dan and I did an
anthropological study on the city of Brotherly Love

1997
02:14:56.920 --> 02:15:01.680
and found out what tailgating was all
about, and turns out Philly is pretty

1998
02:15:01.680 --> 02:15:07.119
cool, Philly's pretty sick. We're
working on the WrestleMania video, which will

1999
02:15:07.119 --> 02:15:11.800
include a bunch of big Philly style
hijinks, which I'm still dead set is

2000
02:15:11.840 --> 02:15:13.960
a term. No one is going
to tell me it's not. It's not.

2001
02:15:13.359 --> 02:15:16.760
It's incredible. What the one place
you checked it down to is a

2002
02:15:16.960 --> 02:15:22.960
Cleveland bar that I know style,
that's where the phrase originated. Yeah yeah,

2003
02:15:22.039 --> 02:15:26.600
yeah yeah. Demo Derby dropped yesterday. Go check that out as well.

2004
02:15:26.840 --> 02:15:30.920
We also got a bunch of different
stuff popping off. We did more

2005
02:15:30.960 --> 02:15:35.479
content warning last week, as well
as a Grub starting a Fallout New Vegas

2006
02:15:35.880 --> 02:15:39.079
playthrough. We'll, we'll, we'll, we'll and check a bunch of mods

2007
02:15:39.079 --> 02:15:43.479
into that and see what pops off
dumb Trunk this week. More Fallout New

2008
02:15:43.560 --> 02:15:46.640
Vegas tomorrow, right, Grub,
that's right, Yeah, I'll be playing

2009
02:15:46.680 --> 02:15:52.279
it tomorrow. Also, we got
Blake Club popping off potentially, Dan,

2010
02:15:52.359 --> 02:15:56.760
do you think the last episode?
I honestly, I don't think so.

2011
02:15:56.159 --> 02:16:01.439
From the hearing Grub described the guide
for it be like a lot of paragraphs

2012
02:16:01.760 --> 02:16:07.520
for way more than any of the
other chann hard Mode. It's also Grub

2013
02:16:07.520 --> 02:16:09.720
and I got brutalized in the comments
for helping you too much, and like

2014
02:16:09.800 --> 02:16:13.520
I don't agree, but like I
gotta listen to the people bits I don't

2015
02:16:13.560 --> 02:16:16.399
think. Well, then I guess
we're doing super for the rest of our

2016
02:16:16.439 --> 02:16:22.399
lives because if there's remember so I
think that's what they want. I mean,

2017
02:16:22.439 --> 02:16:26.760
I'm like, I love helping my
friends. I mean, you know

2018
02:16:26.800 --> 02:16:30.840
what I just sent Grub. Yeah
oh yeah, yeah yeah, Grub.

2019
02:16:31.319 --> 02:16:35.120
We have picked your game. We
have sent the items, but you'll be

2020
02:16:35.639 --> 02:16:37.479
careful, make sure your wife knows
and not just opens up and tell you

2021
02:16:37.799 --> 02:16:43.000
very important. We're very, very
excited about Grub's game. That's true,

2022
02:16:43.159 --> 02:16:45.239
and I wanted to get to it. Look, I personally am like,

2023
02:16:45.440 --> 02:16:48.000
look, I don't I don't find
all that entertaining for Dan to just be

2024
02:16:48.079 --> 02:16:52.200
wandering around aimlessly like I want him
to get to the bullshited struggle. But

2025
02:16:52.879 --> 02:16:54.520
look, it wasn't just like one
or two people. All these people were

2026
02:16:54.719 --> 02:17:00.399
mad. I find that I'm not
mad as I'm gonna help anyhow. You

2027
02:17:01.959 --> 02:17:03.319
don't know those people. You know
me, and I'm happy about it.

2028
02:17:03.319 --> 02:17:07.799
You're making me happy. I like
it. Forget those people. What's funny

2029
02:17:07.840 --> 02:17:11.479
is I hung a picture of Dan
that the picture that I won from Pack's

2030
02:17:11.799 --> 02:17:15.479
East. I hung that up right
about my trash cans, and now every

2031
02:17:15.520 --> 02:17:22.920
single time I there something away.
It's incredible. Also, this week another

2032
02:17:22.920 --> 02:17:26.600
episode of Voicemail Dump Truck. We're
gonna be doing a Thursday grab bag upf

2033
02:17:26.799 --> 02:17:33.159
esque stream on Thursday, checking out
a bunch of things, and on Friday

2034
02:17:33.520 --> 02:17:37.040
the upf dam and Lucy are going
to be joining us. We might be

2035
02:17:37.079 --> 02:17:39.319
playing Fall at seventy six. Who
knows. We're gonna kind of play it

2036
02:17:39.360 --> 02:17:43.399
by year there, but that seems
likely. Also, this week BCR is

2037
02:17:43.559 --> 02:17:48.600
returning. We're doing the flip flop
schedule in between Power BombCast and BCR.

2038
02:17:48.879 --> 02:17:54.719
And this week we're gonna be talking
a lot about Stellar Blade. But folks,

2039
02:17:54.239 --> 02:18:01.520
gentlemen, what do we learned today? We learned I learned Mike shut

2040
02:18:01.559 --> 02:18:05.520
the fuck up? Sorry four back, go ahead, hell us. We

2041
02:18:05.600 --> 02:18:09.000
learned that Grub and I are big
fans of the Snyder Cut, at least

2042
02:18:09.079 --> 02:18:13.000
the Justice League. We also learned
that's brood all you got to do is

2043
02:18:13.040 --> 02:18:18.319
press R one. We learned that
Nicky is a sleeper agent for the game

2045
02:18:22.600 --> 02:18:26.559
UV raised that Nicky or else they'll
get activated and want to fight vampires or

2046
02:18:26.600 --> 02:18:31.200

that maybe all of hip hop hates John

2049
02:18:41.360 --> 02:18:45.479
Drake, but we a giant bomb
love John Jo. Don't say things that

2050
02:18:45.680 --> 02:18:50.639
you don't speak for everyone. We
also learned, finally the most important lesson,

2051
02:18:50.680 --> 02:18:54.639
that maybe lightning can strike twice,
and that Mike Manatti can have a
