Speaking about Batman, he's our own Batman.

He has a strategy to take us all down. And I'm scared 22 00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:07.280 that I'm next. Mike Manatti. Hi, I have a tortured pass and 23 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.439 a dark alter ego, and I'm drinking from the subway cup filled with mostly 24 00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.400 dia coke. You put a splash of just normal doctor Pepper in there, 25 00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:17.039 though, and it kind of just tastes like doctor Pepper. It's nice. 26 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:23.879 We laid down some a challenge in certain parameters for Mike, which is going 27 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:29.199 to be very difficult because of my Show and Tell segment here. I went 28 00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:31.439 to a Giants game over the weekend. The game started at one, but 29 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:35.879 there was a certain giveaway, and then my partner and I thought, wow, 30 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:40.439 we need this giveaway, so let's get there at ten o'clock, way 31 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:45.199 too early for a baseball game. And then you know, I got mixed 32 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:49.919 feelings already on baseball, especially San Francisco Giants. But Mike Manatty. Look 33 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.159 at this new silly hat I got. Okay, look, Oh that's interesting. 34 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:59.159 It seems to have two circular objects attached to the top of it in 35 00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:06.120 a kind of symmetrical pattern. Does it remind me of anything specifically? Though? 36 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:14.039 Pretty cool though jan audio listeners can't see it. But Mike is just 37 00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:17.599 like straining right now. You see the vein in his forehead. Yeah, 38 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:23.039 I'm trying. My best friend Tam happy. They want me to not talk 39 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.400 about something specifically here, and I'm gonna show Tam that I can do it. 40 00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.240 My other favorite observation from the weekend. At this baseball game, we're 41 00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:36.159 playing against the Dodgers, and as a as a Bay Area resident born and 42 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:39.360 raised, I've been conditioned to hate the Dodgers for no specific reason other than 43 00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:46.879 them being from LA. But I could not hate on the adorable little old 44 00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:52.960 Asian women with their show Heyo Tani Jerseys repping for show Hey. I'm like, 45 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.159 damn, there's two people that love show Hey a Tani the most all 46 00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:01.800 these old Asian women, and Michael him loves ms oh Hey for show. 47 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:08.759 Hey, that's what they're called today? Baby should be. When I was 48 00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:12.439 in Little Tokyo recently, I guess that's really close to where the Dodgers play, 49 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.800 because everybody was walking around in Dodgers' uniforms and stuff. There's all sorts 50 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.360 of stuff even in a little Tokyo for them. I thought that was neat. 51 00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:24.480 How's ever doing? How was the weekend? I'm saying, I'm seeing 52 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:28.759 the Beach Boys tonight. They're still alive, some of them must be. 53 00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.199 I don't know how many, but enough of them are alive that they are 54 00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:35.680 performing in Youngstown, Ohio tonight as the Beach Boys. So is Uncle Jesse 55 00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:40.879 going to be there? I hope so? Uh damn. Maybe think of 56 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:44.600 something I can't talk about, but yeah, I hope Uncle Jesse is there. 57 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.600 We have similar interests that I won't go into detail about me and him. 58 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.800 Oh yeah, uh, but yeah, I have no idea what to 59 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:56.439 expect. We're taking my mom as like an early birthday gift. But yeah, 60 00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.079 I don't know. Like I guess it'll be neat to say to say 61 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.040 I saw the Beach Boy in some form or another. I'm not really sure 62 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:08.959 what to be expecting. Quality wise or you know, authenticity wise here but 63 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.399 whatever, I'll get a beer, I'll watch them play their guitars and talk 64 00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.399 about waves in the ocean, and you know, are they the Cocomo? 65 00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.079 They are? But that's the one that nucle Jesse is really involved with. 66 00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:25.079 Okay, Yeah, I associate Cocomo with the Muppets. I associate with the 67 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:30.319 Trolls. I had a VHS tape with like Muppet trolls actually, like made 68 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.800 by Jim that's Muppets and it was just a vignette of music videos and one 69 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:36.480 of them was Coocomo. So that's what the Beach Boys a big thing over 70 00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:40.720 there for y'all. I mean, I enjoyed the Beach Boys a lot. 71 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:45.360 This tour is very intense, by the way, it's like July all the 72 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:50.040 way through to the end of October. Oh d I mean, who's who's 73 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:58.319 the touring band for more than six decades members Brian Wilson might love Al Jardine 74 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.279 and then like all of them have social networks. And then there's Dennis Wilson, 75 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:03.800 Carl Wilson, Bruce Johnston, and David Marx, which is the one 76 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:09.480 who was involved with the Manson family. Oh what do you mean involved. 77 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:16.839 I would like to know, Like, umm, no, it didn't. 78 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:21.879 One of them, like the Mansons, like basically tried to befriend and then 79 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:28.800 like I think, played music with them. Oh no, okay, like 80 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.680 that, I'd have to google it. Okay, well I believe you. 81 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:39.439 But Uncle Jesse, Uncle Jesse, Charles Manson, Beach Boys, Joe Mitt 82 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:43.879 Beach Boys. Yeah, Never Learned Not To Love was a song recorded by 83 00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.800 the American but rock band The Beach Boys. Credited to Dennis Wilson. The 84 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:49.759 song is an altered version of Cease to Exist, written by the Manson family 85 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:55.399 called Leader Charles Manson. Oh no, I remember this, Yeah, because 86 00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:59.279 Mitson also has a thing with the Beatles, and he thought that Helter Skelter 87 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:01.319 was some kind of order for him to kill people, right, So yeah, 88 00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:08.600 he's a weird relationship with music. Interesting I see here. July twenty 89 00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.199 eighth, Lucy Tam. If y'all aren't doing anything, they're gonna be in 90 00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:15.399 Sonny San Jose Tikis are a little road trip down wait for my review. 91 00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:18.759 Let me let's see what Let's see what these Beach Boy fellas got in the 92 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:21.319 Year of Our Lord twenty twenty four, and I'll let you know if it's 93 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:25.199 if it's worth a little trip or not. I don't even know where they're 94 00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:28.959 playing. I don't know this I don't know this venue. I mean yeah. 95 00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:32.959 I also I saw I saw The Who when they were like seventy, 96 00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:38.800 and they was still good, still really good. What do you call him? 97 00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:43.879 The Rolling Stones are still killing it? So yeah, it was the 98 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.279 oldest person I saw. I saw Bob Seger like three or four years ago. 99 00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.920 He was very old and it was still fun. I saw Paul McCartney 100 00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:55.160 probably like twelve years ago now, and he was like old then, but 101 00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:59.079 it was still great. So yeah, I'm sure it'll be fun. Pause. 102 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.360 It's Youngstown, Ohio. So I don't like drive to some city. 103 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.879 It's like a ten minute drive, So yeah, what the hell will go? 104 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:11.040 I do you think they have new music? Do you think they updated? 105 00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:15.920 Come on? If they better not, they better not be like where's 106 00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:20.399 the Beach Boys? Here's our new son? Come on? Yeah they are 107 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.759 surfing USA? Okay they are, you know? Come on? Then I 108 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.639 played pet Sounds, Yeah, like come on, who's the other band that 109 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:31.960 showed up to San Francisco recently and took over the Grateful Dead. Oh yeah, 110 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:35.919 the last show. It was the last proper show, and there were 111 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.120 a bunch of dead heads. We went to get brunch and like the entire 112 00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.440 restaurant was just full of dead Heads, and there was like one person being 113 00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.159 like I've seen them over a hundred times, and I was like, I 114 00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.159 like they seem to hang out in that area, because we went to get 115 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.360 brunch again at the same place the other day and on the walk there, 116 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.919 I saw two people wearing a Grateful Dead Grateful Dead t shirts, So maybe 117 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.000 just hang out in this area. There's a lot of grateful dead heads, 118 00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:09.279 uh, hanging out in SF at all times. Right, But the Beanie 119 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.320 Baby, no, I swear there's a grateful Dead bear. I don't know 120 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.320 what. Garcia was the rare beanie Baby for a bit, and it was 121 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:22.759 named after the bear everywhere in this city. And don't forget the Ben and 122 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:28.080 Jerry's flavor Garcia. Yes, yes, oh god, I could go for 123 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.919 ice cream. I don't know if I could name a grateful Dead song. 124 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:33.759 I gotta be honest, I don't think I've ever heard a grateful Dead song, 125 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.120 right, It's like I can I can't imagine the vibe right. If 126 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:41.960 you don't like name the song or to sing, well, I don't know. 127 00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.840 I'm in trouble. Yeah, I couldn't do this. I can't do 128 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.080 it either. It never had hits. Okay, that's interesting. I think 129 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:54.799 I would confuse them with the Dire Straits if like, if I like convince 130 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.720 myself that Sultan of Swing was a grateful Dead song, I might be able 131 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.279 to pull that off. This is because my brain is slightly disney pilled. 132 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.159 But sometimes whenever I see the grateful Dead Skull, of course, never you, 133 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.080 Mike, I'm sorry for even mentioning it. Yes, please, it's 134 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.120 so annoying when you bring this up. I know it's my one thing. 135 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.600 I always think they're grateful dead skull. How it looks like the Pepsi logo. 136 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:20.759 I always think it's the Rescue Rangers icon or the logo, and it 137 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:28.000 gives me a little pop. Oh yeah, I'm not familiar with that program. 138 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:31.279 Mike. It's okay, it's all right, it's all right. You 139 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.279 don't have to hide anymore. It doesn't have a banging theme song or anything 140 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:39.080 with an incredible sex solo. Probably doesn't. Yeah, everyone else is good. 141 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:43.320 We're okay. It's gonna be a shorter week here at GBHQ because of 142 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:50.720 the holidays. We don't got to talk about the actual Well, what's happened? 143 00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.039 Something happened really to hurt anybody's patriotism? What? No, way? 144 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.080 Never never? I okay, So I was at a county fair, right 145 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:03.039 and one this week? Is it? Is it the Alameda County Fair? 146 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:07.320 No, I'm going Marin oh no. But the problem is the problem is 147 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.559 jan we're gonna get hit with a heat wave this week. Yeah, we're 148 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:16.159 doing hit with it. Now. It's not me. I live on top 149 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:18.200 of a hill. Yeah, it must be in your Your neighborhood is always 150 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.919 way warmer than mine. But last year every went to the county fair. 151 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.360 It was the hottest day of the year, and that was you know, 152 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.559 not even with a heat wave. Some I'm genuinely concerned that I will melt 153 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.480 like like the Wicked Witch of the East. I don't know. I've never 154 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:39.279 seen Wicked. The West is the one who melts. I believe she was 155 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.639 always playing here. You've never seen it? What wicked? No, never 156 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:46.480 seen it? I don't know any No. Wait, is fabulous The song 157 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:58.080 from Wicked like No the Sharp Pase hit Soget High School Musical two only comes 158 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:03.440 second to bet On It. Though popular is what you may be, I 159 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.799 mean popular. But the problem is with with Wicked is the movie's lighting looks 160 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.159 really flat. I don't I don't know. Well that's the movie. We 161 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.639 don't want to worry about the movie. The musical is great music. Okay, 162 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.759 you know want Jenna will make a point to go see it. No, 163 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:18.000 no, no, we're gonna go see it. Mike, you're invited 164 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:24.320 because I've actually never seen Wicked. Uh yeah, I'm still better my one. 165 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.159 Yes, it's the which one. It's the Wizard of oz one where 166 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:30.840 it's like Disney or No. No, that's MGM stuff. Don't worry. 167 00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:35.279 We're good. It's MGM public domain. It's fine. Uh but yeah, 168 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:37.559 my brothers went to see at one time and it was like a double date 169 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.320 for them and they're like, you can't go. It's like I want to 170 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:48.759 see Wicked. We will rectify that. Please make sure that you could come. 171 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.200 You can bring two dates if you want, and then we'll just awkwardly 172 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.720 sit behind you. Yeah, there we go. Yeah, it'll be like 173 00:12:54.799 --> 00:13:00.320 what you're doing. It'll be one of those fun situations where you have two 174 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:03.240 dates and you got to like balance between both at the same time. Oh, 175 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:05.440 just got to keep going. Oh, I'm gonna go get popcorn. 176 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.559 I'm going to go to the Oh okay, missed out effect. Yeah, 177 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:11.559 like a bad ninety sitcom episode. Okay, yeah, I'm into that. 178 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:15.600 Sorry, Jimmy, that's our I was gonna say. You said you were 179 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:20.399 going to a Uh you went to a county fair? Yo? Too hot. 180 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:26.120 I can't do pleasanton pleasanton way too hot. Yeah. I never want 181 00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:31.440 to go again. It was unpleasanton, very unpleasant. And also despite knowing 182 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.399 that the Alameda County Fair and knowing how counties work, I keep thinking, 183 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:39.440 this County Fair is going to be so much closer and be in Alameda. 184 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:43.240 You don't have to drive an hour away to pleasant No, No, Marenhatta 185 00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:50.639 County Fair. Did you see the piglet racing. I did see the piglet 186 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:58.240 racing. Actually very good puns. I wanted to volunteer to be one of 187 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.440 the judges, but then they picked the children over me, and I catch 188 00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:07.399 child. Yeah. Yeah, our big fairs in August. It's cause of 189 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:11.000 the can Field Fair. I'm not really a big fan of the fair. 190 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:15.960 I gotta be honest, it's it's it's a lot. It's a lot with 191 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:20.840 the smells and the animals. It sounds of the rides. I don't know. 192 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.320 Like we had our local fireworks on Saturday, and they like bring out 193 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:28.000 some of those trucks there, and like that's enough for me. I'll get 194 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.600 my fried cheese on a stick thing and watch fireworks. That's it. That's 195 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:35.639 all the fair flavor that I need. I remember why I brought it up 196 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:43.200 now. There was a local school art fair showcase in one of the booths. 197 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:48.759 Oh yeah, And there was a certain wood interpretation of the American flag 198 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:56.279 that maybe favors other people over others. Oh no. And then I was 199 00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:00.080 like, huh, that's cool. This is supposed to be wood, and 200 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:05.759 you painted that that specific line the color blue. Okay, interesting, fun, 201 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:07.559 interesting, You got third place? All right? Suck at kid the 202 00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:11.519 third place. They got third place. I don't know how many kids entered. 203 00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:13.000 That's like worse than getting nothing. I don't want there, hope it 204 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:18.679 was one third place piece that you didn't notice me and thought it wasn't good 205 00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:22.919 enough for anything. But the worst surprise we did like turn around and there 206 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:24.519 were a bunch of like little kid poems on the wall, and I was 207 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:26.480 like, oh, this is gonna be good. I love little kid poems 208 00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:31.000 and see how they interpret the world. They're all bad, man, the 209 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.759 kids suck these days. When I went, yeah, oh, some kids 210 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.559 agreed. Yeah. So when I went to the Alim, they have those 211 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:45.120 little they have like little exhibits. I guess, did you see these? 212 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:50.279 And then exhibit was that? No? And so one of them was just 213 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:54.919 spam. A whole exhibit about spam. Hell yeah, wa email spam or 214 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:58.360 the meat? The meat? Oh yeah it Spam's had something of a glow. 215 00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:00.279 When I was a kid, it was just the subject of jokes. 216 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.120 It was supposed to be discussing. And now I see like YouTube like Spam's 217 00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:06.440 great. Fry up some spam. It's the best thing you've ever eaten. 218 00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:10.240 I might have to try spam. Finally, Mikey, I like, next 219 00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:12.360 time I see, Are you okay with seaweed? No? I don't like 220 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:15.720 the seaweed taste. I mean, look, if you want me to eat 221 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:18.639 some seaweed, I'll eat some seaweed. It's not like it's not an apple 222 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:21.279 thing where it's a phobia. I'll eat some seaweed. If you think it's 223 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:25.879 integral to your spam plan, Yes, it's integral to my spamas. Yeah. 224 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:29.759 In Hawaii, one of my favorite things that I bought from Maui was 225 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:33.480 a special edition can of spam. It was great. What a special edition 226 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.120 about it? It was just more yellow in the front with a flower. 227 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:41.799 Ooh, it was it was very special. I did not bust open the 228 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.879 spam despite being hungry. Well, we're gonna have you gotta save that. 229 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:51.799 We're gonna have spam and we're gonna watch Wicked and get to see the beach 230 00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:53.600 boys. That is the plan for the rest of the summer. Mike, 231 00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:56.919 you're invited. Everyone else listening right now, you're also invited. Right now, 232 00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:07.519 we gotta talk about video games. Never never microwave spam. Don't. 233 00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:12.400 God bless my late grandmother, but never microwave spam for your loved one. 234 00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:17.200 Don't do it. Don't do it. Sam in the place that I live, 235 00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:21.599 it's that was a weird Al song. Maybe that's why I assumed spam 236 00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:26.079 was a joke. My TikTok has given me so many clips of that weird 237 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:30.799 Al movie with apparently it's really good. I mean, like I really enjoyed 238 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:36.359 the clips and like Dania Radcliffe is singing like he's no, he's not. 239 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:38.720 No, it doesn't look like he was. I thought he was singing. 240 00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:41.920 No, it's just a weird al Is it actually a me? It looks 241 00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:45.599 decinct in a way. All the clips look like a second a millisecond off, 242 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:49.640 and you can tell he's like, something weird is going on. Yeah, 243 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:53.319 it's it's it's I think it's all purposeful that it's it's a good movie. 244 00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:56.640 The guy I may have seen live more than anyone else is weird, 245 00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:02.960 weird, especially as a kid. God, I think I saw what I 246 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:06.279 saw them three times in one tour, that Running with Scissors tour, the 247 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:11.079 legend legendary one. This is good. Uh, you know, weird. 248 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.759 Al has had to dance through a lot of weird. Copyright and IP laws 249 00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:19.240 can be very dangerous in dealing with, just like it's dangerous to deal with 250 00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:25.440 Elder Ring Shadow of the Urd Treey Mike, it says, you've played this 251 00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:29.279 year and I know that Tam and Lucy have played it, but your adventures. 252 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:33.799 I finished it. I beat it over the weekend, damn it. 253 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:37.279 But yeah, yep, I got through the whole thing. I got all 254 00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:42.039 the major remembrances, so I thought all of the major bosses. The last 255 00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:47.000 bossucking too specific it. You know, everyone's talking about it's hard, and 256 00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:51.880 it was. It took me forty three attempts, I know, but it 257 00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:55.240 was a lot of fun. I'm I mean, how disappointed would it be 258 00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:57.079 if the last boss wasn't hard, right? I mean it's kind of the 259 00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:02.640 last boss of all of Elder Ring at this point, so yeah, it 260 00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:07.960 should be this impressive challenge and it's this very dramatic fight. It's a very 261 00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:10.839 cool fight. I may have even had an advantage. It's hard to tell, 262 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:14.079 but it seems like people think a shield build is the way to go, 263 00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:17.359 and that just happens to have been my build throughout all of Out and 264 00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:19.599 Ring. I think that's fair because in Base Out and Ring, like Millennia 265 00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:23.759 and maybe I'm missing something, shows were really bad against her because their scarlet 266 00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:27.880 rot thing just went through the shield. So blocking did nothing on that one. 267 00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:30.240 So like that that was a fight at least for me. I just 268 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:33.160 like I got to just summon other people and I'm gonna kind of do my 269 00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:36.400 best. What not, No, We're done. I was able to do 270 00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:38.000 with just me and the mimic, and you know, boy, the mimic 271 00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:42.359 does help. I actually never got the mimic tier until trying that fight for 272 00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:45.640 a billy. This is pretty hard. One's like, you should probably get 273 00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:48.799 the mimic tier. It's like, okay, I guess I'll finally do that. 274 00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.119 And yeah, that was a big help, along with you know, 275 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.920 the skibbity tree fragments. I got to level sixteen the Maxus twenty, so 276 00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:59.960 I died to get all of them, but sixteen was enough get me there. 277 00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:03.359 But yeah, it was, you know it just it felt really great 278 00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:07.039 to beat that boss. The bosses in general I thought were really neat. 279 00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:10.480 Some of my favorite in the whole game, like the first three major ones 280 00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:14.799 that lie in the Moon Girl and then Mesmer all were really really cool. 281 00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:18.720 That dragon you fight on top of the mountain with that guy that Grubb killed 282 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:26.200 immediately because he has no sun, yeah, just screaming. I love that 283 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.319 for him. So yeah, I had a really good time with the expansion. 284 00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.279 I don't want to get too much into the difficulty discourse other than to 285 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:37.200 me, it did not seem that different from my experience with Based Outer Ring. 286 00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:38.960 Again, that last boss was hard, but of course it is. 287 00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:45.000 It's the last boss. It wasn't anything that I wasn't able to overcome eventually. 288 00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:51.880 Yeah, I have decided I'm just gonna wait until maybe September October to 289 00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:56.440 go into Shadow the urg Tree get Away for all the heat to die down. 290 00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:59.119 Good way for everyone else to figure everything else out. A lot of 291 00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:02.880 games coming out around and then jam, yeah, you're in it right now. 292 00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:06.559 You're in a bit of a dead zone where playing something like this is 293 00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:10.359 perfect. See, this is like the dead zone that we're in. And 294 00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:12.039 I was thinking, like, well, I know what to expect. We 295 00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:15.440 Shadow of the Urgery. Maybe we go explore the back catalog of a bunch 296 00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:22.720 of miscellaneous crap. That's a that's a very frequent trap that people fall into 297 00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:26.119 where they add it, where they add a massive game to their back list. 298 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:29.279 And I'm like, I'll play this later, I'll play a small game. 299 00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:33.000 Right now. I want to just like maybe take like a Sunday or 300 00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:36.880 something and just dedicate the whole day of like, all right, I got 301 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:38.920 like two more hours in this game, an hour left in that game. 302 00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:48.440 Good old mop up, mop Up? How many times has that gone well? 303 00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:51.920 For you, it's never gone well. And then I always wait until 304 00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:55.319 the week before we leave the game of the year and they're like, all 305 00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:57.480 right, cool it only it only really works if you know specifically, like 306 00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:00.880 one or two games that you need to shop. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. 307 00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:07.160 And the problem is for me, I would definitely be motivated once I 308 00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:10.839 get into elden Ring to just stick with a rhythm, because, like you 309 00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:14.960 know, the muscle memory is so important. I've taken so much time now 310 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:18.720 from Final Fantasy seven rebirth that I don't I don't know if I want to 311 00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:21.359 go back. Yeah, you were saying if I want to mop it up. 312 00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:22.920 You and Jeff are saying they like, yeah, it's fine, and 313 00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:25.680 look as somebody who's that's their game of the year, it probably it hurts 314 00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:26.960 a little bit. But I get it. I get it if you don't 315 00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:30.839 have as much like an attachment. Oh yeah, but you know, I'm 316 00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:34.279 a I'm a final, big Final Fantasy guy, and I just I'm like 317 00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:37.799 a sick of like the thing people complain about the game, like there's too 318 00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:41.160 many mini games. I love that ship. Oh the stupider the mini game, 319 00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:42.880 the better. I'm like, oh yeah, this feels like a ps 320 00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:47.039 one game and all the way that's really scratching it and it's for me. 321 00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:49.880 I love that garbage. I just want to see the ending though, because 322 00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:56.440 of how polarizing it seemed to be when it came out, and it just 323 00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:00.519 fine dog like, I mean, tain those one of the worst paced games 324 00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:04.519 I've played in a long time. Okay, okay, but if you really 325 00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:08.079 just want to see the ending, like, just just hit the YouTube mane. 326 00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:12.240 Yeah it's interesting. I mean, you know, yeah, I don't 327 00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:15.640 want to get too intant, but you can still enjoy the game knowing what 328 00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:17.440 the ending. I mean, hey, look in some ways, I mean 329 00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:19.400 it's a remake, you right, the ending, we kind of know what 330 00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:22.799 it is, and you can see this interpretation of it and you still want 331 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:27.559 to play the game. You'll you'll be fine, kind of going back to 332 00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:32.160 oldermings. It is interesting, like seeing like a bit more discourses kind of 333 00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:34.720 pop up about it. I'm seeing some criticisms laid out about how some of 334 00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:40.160 the map feels. People are saying unfinished, and I think that's maybe a 335 00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:41.599 bit rough, but I don't know if you've seen this Tambli. People are 336 00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:47.440 kind of complaining about some of those more bonus areas and how kind of relatively 337 00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:51.200 empty or less dense they can feel compared to kind of that like that that 338 00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:55.319 sort of left area of the map that's kind of where all of the main 339 00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:57.440 path is right, and then when you're going off to like those like those 340 00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:03.400 giant ruined areas where it's nothing but you kind of ride your horse to the 341 00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:06.799 hand and you blow into the horn, right. I think that's something that 342 00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:10.720 at the point that's that's a narrative thing. Yeah, it's an area of 343 00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:14.720 design to be Yeah, I feel like that area serves a purpose. It's 344 00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:19.359 not designed to be a thing where you really explore and and like fight a 345 00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:25.119 bunch of enemies. It's it has a major narrative purpose. It like that 346 00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:30.200 area is huge implications for the story and character stuff. So and it's meant 347 00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:33.480 to be arresting instead of challenging. So I when I got there, I 348 00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:34.880 spent a lot of time in there looking around and trying to figure out what 349 00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:38.799 was going on and what it meant. But it doesn't have loads of boss 350 00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:41.880 I mean, one of them has a boss, but you kind of have 351 00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:47.440 to go to two other ones before you get to it. So it's it 352 00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:52.200 has it serves a function I think is more is as important as having loads 353 00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:59.720 of gameplay opportunities there if I had any actual like criticisms, I don't love 354 00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:03.680 the the side quest work, even in base on a ring where I really 355 00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.119 would have no idea what is a side quest or how to progress a side 356 00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.039 quest without like you know, the online guides and like, I know, 357 00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:14.000 it's like that's kind of the fun of it. It's like, oh, 358 00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:15.119 it's like the schoolyard thing you have to kind of talk to people to figure 359 00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:18.119 out what it is. But this day and age, it really is just 360 00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:19.880 well, I'm going to google what am I supposed to do next? And 361 00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:23.079 a lot of times it's kind of like random, like okay, leadas saying 362 00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:26.200 this, I need her to say that, Well you have to talk to 363 00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:30.200 this person and do this thing. It's sometimes nonsensical, right, I mean, 364 00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:33.119 there's like the one thing where you know, without too many spoilers, 365 00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:34.680 you do something and it kills you. You're like, well that's bad, 366 00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:37.680 right, It's like, well, no, do that. Let it kill 367 00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:41.039 you three more times and then maybe something happens, and you know, it's 368 00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:44.319 very cryptic, and I get the crypticness is part of the fun of it. 369 00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.039 Yeah, it's more a case of, like the general rule has been 370 00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:52.640 since Demonsuls, like, once you do anything significant or you feel like you've 371 00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:56.440 done a certain amount of progress, you just should do a sweep of all 372 00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:00.720 the NPCs where you know they are and just talk to them. And they 373 00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:03.519 kind of make that a little bit easier by putting icons on the map to 374 00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:07.799 say like, here's where the NPCs are, So like, the best practice 375 00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:11.359 is just speak to everyone, because chances are they'll have something you'd say, 376 00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:14.240 unless they're a vender, in which case they'll probably just say the same thing 377 00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:18.160 over and over again. But I yeah, I feel like there's only really 378 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.160 one that I lost track calls because I just kept sweeping through everyone. It 379 00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:26.519 takes like a couple of minutes to do it anyway. Usually they're mostly located 380 00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:32.880 in the same areas, like the then near the uh mesber kind of has 381 00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:37.359 a bunch of them, yeahs Mesmes area, but also like the Michela's ruins, 382 00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:41.359 they're usually hanging around there. Yes, Yeah, it's basic kind of 383 00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:45.440 like RPGA style approach to it. Well, the other thing that maybe, 384 00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:48.279 but but you know, the skippity tree fravers. I think that was a 385 00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:52.319 smart system to have the power kind of scale to this new thing instead of 386 00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.279 it just being player level. But it kind of got to a point where, 387 00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:57.640 you know, every time you go off a beaten path or you fight 388 00:26:57.720 --> 00:27:03.759 a bus or something, you want specifically those skibbetyresh shadow tree fragments so much 389 00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:07.559 that if you got almost anything else, it was kind of like, well 390 00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:10.240 this is worthless. Like right, it's like, oh great, another ash 391 00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:12.920 of War that isn't the mimic tear or another spell and I'm a strength bill. 392 00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:15.640 It's like you know it. They kind of become like it's a scavenger 393 00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:22.119 hunt for this one item and everything else is bad. Is yeah? Say 394 00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:27.920 so they moved stuff around from the review build to the main release, like 395 00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:33.599 they actually moved items, and unfortunately now that means I have no idea where 396 00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:37.240 the thorn ash of War is. I followed like I was like I was 397 00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:38.359 seeing everyone saying, oh my god, it's really fun. It's like really 398 00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:41.759 broken. I wanted to try out, and I went back and I looked 399 00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:45.240 at my inventory. I don't have it. I went to the place where 400 00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:47.839 all the YouTube and all the guides say that it is and it's not there, 401 00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:52.799 and I'm just like, well, shit, so I wonder how much 402 00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:57.559 else has Yeah. I think the thing that they did really well in the 403 00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:00.920 base game that they could have done here but they chose not to for some 404 00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:04.720 reason is have more. In the base game, they had more golden seeds 405 00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:10.359 than you need. You can like have an excess of them and have like 406 00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:14.400 max out all the all the stats on that you would use the golden seed 407 00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:18.079 for, whereas the scurity fragments there are an exact amount. And it means 408 00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:22.680 that if you like don't like, for example, I've got like maybe a 409 00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:25.759 few that I haven't collected, I have no idea where they are, right, 410 00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:27.680 I can't remember. I can't remember where they are, and like, 411 00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:30.640 thankfully, like I'm still playing the game, so I'm running around and doing 412 00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:36.000 stuff for funzis. But the only way for me to really figure it out 413 00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:38.920 is to sit down with a guide and go to each one one by one 414 00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:42.720 and see if they're there. Yeah, I think that's what I'm waiting for. 415 00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:45.920 I'm waiting for folks to find me the most critical path. And speaking 416 00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:51.319 about path, Tam, you've been following a certain path, Yes, you 417 00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:56.279 can follow the Goddess exactly unit. I can't say it. You can do 418 00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:59.440 it. I believe in you give it another shot. Gami. Path of 419 00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:04.960 the Goddess nailed it. You did it, Sorry Instagami. Part of the 420 00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:08.680 Goddess demo for it is out now. That's what I played. It was 421 00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:12.839 available to play at Summer Game Fest, but I didn't get a chance to 422 00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:15.200 play it this so I'm very glad that they released the demo. I think 423 00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:22.680 it's the same build. Very interesting. Game is decidedly old school capcom like 424 00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.440 in that they made a game that is very weird and it feels like it's 425 00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:30.400 from the same stable as stuff like Okami and like god Hand and Beautiful Joe, 426 00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:34.720 where they came up with a weird, weird idea. I can't that 427 00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:40.720 would make the podcast, but they came up with a goofy idea and they're 428 00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:44.240 just running with it. Not goofy, but it's a It is effectively a 429 00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:48.920 taw defense game, which is which is interesting. But the whole thing is 430 00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:55.240 like you're it looks like you're climbing up a very very very large mountain because 431 00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:59.720 like there's a stage select and it's superimposed. The levels are super imposed over 432 00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:03.519 him mountain and there's loads of shrines on the way up there, and I 433 00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:07.359 was like scrolling down the mountain. It's like very large. And the setup 434 00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:11.079 is you start on one side. You have a princess or a goddess I 435 00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:18.720 guess, and you effectively have to just craft a or carve a path through 436 00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:22.799 like a miasma of demon darkness in each level so that she can walk along 437 00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:27.559 it or dance along it. And there's a day night cycle where at night 438 00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:33.680 waves of enemies appear and during the day you have to run around and cleanse 439 00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:38.799 villages and chop down these weird plants that have been growing to collect resources and 440 00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:45.400 use that to assign rolls, upgrade rolls, and then you know, use 441 00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:48.799 it to carve the path, so you get these little orbs, and that 442 00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:55.039 effectively is a kind of meter for you. So you run up to where 443 00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:57.440 the goddess is and you hold circle I think it was, and then you 444 00:30:57.559 --> 00:31:03.319 hold forward and your character run forward and kind of cut his way through a 445 00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:08.880 darkness path and create this kind of golden path for her to walk along. 446 00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:14.559 And then you can do and then this complexity is like you can assign villages 447 00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:19.240 to quickly defend or attack the defend the goddess, or attack the target that 448 00:31:19.359 --> 00:31:23.400 you're on, and then there's like a character action light the game in there 449 00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:26.799 as well, where you directly control your character, move them around and do 450 00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:30.519 like you know, square square square triangle or square squares square delay triangle, 451 00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:36.680 that kind of stuff to take out enemies and it works surprisingly well. It 452 00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:41.079 doesn't feel like it has anything new idea wise in there, but I think 453 00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:45.519 they've just gone through and like very put together a really tight loop and then 454 00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:53.160 kind of incatese that all in a very Japanese, very Clover era esthetic for 455 00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:56.640 the game, and it's it works really well. Surprisingly. I'm not super 456 00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:00.440 into tower defense games, so I haven't been in a long time. Yeah, 457 00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:05.680 but I I enjoyed what I played. The demo has like a couple 458 00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:09.240 of stages and the boss fight and a upgrade system that you can take a 459 00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:12.759 look at, which is fun. You go into like a town area that 460 00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:16.240 you're constantly coming back to, and then the Princess or the Goddess is sitting 461 00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:19.440 there and you're like, she's got a table in front of it, and 462 00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:22.039 she got a couple of books and I played with some food on it and 463 00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:25.720 you interact with it, and it's it's an upgradio character and upgrade your villagers, 464 00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:29.559 et cetera, et cetera. It's it seems fun. It's also like 465 00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:32.400 very fireworks, which I think is the kind of esthetic that they're going for. 466 00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:36.920 They're like, I think the main thing is like everything you do is 467 00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:39.319 like a fireworks sound. It's like a bba bab It's like so weird, 468 00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:45.440 but it's also fun. It's very perfect, up upbeat in a way that 469 00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:49.559 I didn't expect. But you played this at Summer Game Fest, and I, 470 00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:51.960 yeah, I think it is just this demo that you're talking about. 471 00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:54.319 And I mean when I was shocked that it was so tower defensie that when 472 00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:57.079 I first saw that trail where I was like, oh, they're just making 473 00:32:57.119 --> 00:33:00.880 a hack and slash. So even though like like tower fence isn't my favorite 474 00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:05.160 thing either, but I'm glad that there's something here besides just the basic hack 475 00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:07.119 and slash. And I thought the boss fight is specifically was cool because there's 476 00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:10.960 almost a bit more of a pigment thing happening there as opposed to tower defense, 477 00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:15.599 with kind of setting your people at the boss a certain times and making 478 00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:19.839 them retreat at other times. Like the combo system is neat too, because 479 00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:22.960 it's basically you have light tax and heavy attacks, and every combo is like 480 00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:28.359 one light attack and heavy attack, two light attacks and heavy attack three in 481 00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:31.759 right, So it's all simple, but it all does different things. So 482 00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:36.799 yeah, yeah, I was into it. There's also like a certain enemies 483 00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:39.759 have a overshield that you need to use specific attacks to bring down. And 484 00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:43.880 then once you factor that into the waves of enemies, you have like a 485 00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:49.720 target prioritization strategy that you need to come up with and execute on. And 486 00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:54.640 it's it's got just enough moving parts to keep various parts of your own brain 487 00:33:54.759 --> 00:34:00.079 occupied and your hands moving, and it has that satisfaction of like, I 488 00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:01.640 know I need to do X y Z in this moment, and you quickly 489 00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:06.519 run and take it off and then you run back to the goddess and move 490 00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:09.440 her forward, and it has that constant feeling or forward momentum. And when 491 00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:14.679 it does block you with you know a large group of enemies, you have 492 00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:19.400 the tools available to you to you know, quickly shift strategies and execute on 493 00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:22.639 it and then go step back and be like, yeah, I nail that 494 00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:25.880 one. And carry on, and they if they really I think the important 495 00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:29.920 thing is going to be how do they structure the levels around this? Because 496 00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:34.480 the kind of set up phase during the day has a nice like you move 497 00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:38.559 your character and also like run around do these small areas. But how elaborate 498 00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:44.320 does it become? I can see it becoming very, very like overwhelming for 499 00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:46.559 some people because there's like loads of paths, and it's like you put one 500 00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:50.719 person here, one person there, and then you have to sometimes move them 501 00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:53.599 around on the fly or run up to them and change their their role quickly. 502 00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:58.159 And I had situations sometimes where two characters have been standing next to each 503 00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:00.079 other and I keep accidentally changing the wrong roll, and I'd be like, 504 00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:05.199 in the UI is a bit messy. But I think it's just a case 505 00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:07.880 of like, I'll get there eventually, once I've done it enough times, 506 00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:12.079 it will it will click for me. When's the last time you all enjoyed 507 00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:15.639 a tower defense game? It said, not usually my thing? Star fucks 508 00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:21.440 guard on the wiu. Oh boy, I like I like a balloons defense. 509 00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:25.599 Yeah that's good. Oh if thirteen sentinels counting, Yeah, thirteen sentinels 510 00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:29.639 is actually pretty right, I guess okay, yeah, kind of it's kind 511 00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:32.920 of strategy kind of that. Yeah, I guess the do's the mini game 512 00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:37.840 in Final Fantasy Rebirth Count. That was pretty fun. Condo condo, Yeah, 513 00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:43.440 kind of tower defense kind of more of a clash royale like, yeah, 514 00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:45.840 I guess I don't say that. I might get activated. Oh there's 515 00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:53.000 a Balloons six. Yeah, I think it's on Apple Arcade. There was 516 00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:57.519 definitely a balloons on Arcade. Oh my god, I love I used to 517 00:35:57.599 --> 00:36:00.280 I used to love balloons. I never can aired for plants versus zombies. 518 00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:04.800 I just got admitted, Oh you know, we can still be friends. 519 00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:07.840 But yeah, I didn't even think about plant zombies. But yeah, that's 520 00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:09.360 what I'm one of those people who I will get on a flight and I 521 00:36:09.400 --> 00:36:15.639 will just complete Plant Swiss Zombies in one saying so, okay, okay, 522 00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:22.119 big gaming. I remember, what's that legend? Oh boy, I enjoyed 523 00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:25.440 all the other aspects of Brutal Legend other than the tower defense. I remember, 524 00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:28.719 like, I don't know if this is where originally I remember just playing 525 00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:30.920 tower defense games because they were custom maps and Warcraft three. I think that's 526 00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:36.800 the first time. I think that's the origin of tower Defense. Yeah, 527 00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:40.960 yeah, it was like that you played weird early DODA back when it was 528 00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:45.800 actually the defense of the Ancients and stuff like that, those formulative stuff happening 529 00:36:45.880 --> 00:36:49.880 in those custom maps back then. Speaking about formulative stuff in places of origin, 530 00:36:50.199 --> 00:36:54.199 a game that I've been playing ever so slightly is until then a game 531 00:36:54.239 --> 00:37:00.199 that takes place in the Philippines, my people's place of origin. Uh, 532 00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:07.360 this is what's up? What people is that Filipino? Okay, think Ben? 533 00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:13.639 That means I thought it was a funny question, and then I was 534 00:37:13.800 --> 00:37:21.400 right, chanceld Mitch, right, look chancel him. Uh this is another 535 00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:25.719 little story, visual novelle esque game. Uh, this has kind of been 536 00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:30.400 my bag lately a thousand times. Resist kind of got a little too deep 537 00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:36.239 and existential for me. Uh so I worry about that. Yeah. Yeah, 538 00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:37.119 there are parts of it where I kind of had to put the Steam 539 00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:43.000 deck down realize I'd just taken twenty screenshots in the past like five minutes. 540 00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:45.719 I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna put this down. Is making me think 541 00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:50.840 too hard about my existence and my place in the greater universe and whether any 542 00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:53.119 of it matters. I can't think like this right now in midnight anyway, 543 00:37:53.199 --> 00:37:59.679 but until then is a very quaint coming of age tail set in the Philippines. 544 00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:05.519 In this immediately had me charmed from the get go with the little nuances 545 00:38:05.559 --> 00:38:09.400 to Filipino culture. It starts with kind of like a title text crawl as 546 00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:14.000 it's going through about like who I assume is the main character, kind of 547 00:38:14.079 --> 00:38:19.000 reflecting on the events of the game further into the game, and it's all 548 00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:25.920 set to the cheesiest sad piano music that he's so prolific throughout Filipino cinema that 549 00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:30.400 I fucking hate, but hearing it here, it's like, Oh, they're 550 00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:32.400 doing the thing. Look at them, Look at them, They're doing the 551 00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:37.679 thing. Oh my god. And then yeah it I'm a big proponent. 552 00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:42.199 I think we all are for representation in video games, and it's is really 553 00:38:42.280 --> 00:38:45.519 cool to see stuff that I'm like semi familiar with represented in a video game. 554 00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:52.599 It takes place in Philippines in twenty fourteen, so you know, we're 555 00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:57.000 just getting to the advancement of like social media, and how prolific that is. 556 00:38:57.360 --> 00:39:00.199 Oh my god. There the idea that twenty fourteen is like some like 557 00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:02.679 old date. Now that's upsetting, But those ten years ago. I guess 558 00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:07.320 it was her point. And it's fun so far because they do a good 559 00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:12.519 job of mixing how they're telling the story other than just a straight up dialogue 560 00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:17.079 sequences where you know your phone plays a big role into it. Mark, 561 00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:22.039 your player character, his relationship with a piano also starts to play into it, 562 00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:27.000 and how music evolves into it with his relationship with it. Yes, 563 00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:31.480 tam Is Marke Filipino name. Yes, Mark is a huge okay, just 564 00:39:31.559 --> 00:39:37.400 making sure yes, yes, that's a high mark, thank you, Mick. 565 00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:42.400 And yeah, there's like just tons and tons of like little easter eggs 566 00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:47.199 alluding to Filipino culture. It's really heartwarming to see, even down to having 567 00:39:47.519 --> 00:39:52.079 the player characters were uniforms to school, because that's such a big thing in 568 00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:55.840 the Philippines of having uniforms to private schools, and then the main character being 569 00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:59.519 like, nah, I don't want to take the bus bus to dirty and 570 00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:01.760 then even seeing all of the litter on the streets, I'm like, damn, 571 00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:07.599 that's home over there. Home. They allude of course, they of 572 00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:09.360 course have to allude to jolly be, but instead of doing jolly Be, 573 00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:14.960 they have angry cow. I believe it's called and yeah, some of the 574 00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:17.639 background chatter is is in Tagalog, which is really neat to see. I 575 00:40:17.719 --> 00:40:21.960 really want to I have no idea how long this is supposed to be, 576 00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:25.320 and I hope this doesn't give me another existential crisis that I have to bounce 577 00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:31.280 off of it temporarily. But it's really cute so far. It's funny because 578 00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:35.079 I got an achievement for lying to a friend, so I think I'm just 579 00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:38.519 going to continue doing that. Ohn, Yes, Tam is lying to a 580 00:40:38.599 --> 00:40:43.840 friend. Filipino thing. Michael Hyman and I have never been truthful with each 581 00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:46.000 It doesn't get him chancel. That's like, that's a that's a negative. 582 00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:51.280 I was just asking a dumb question. Brown's good for the get down. 583 00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:53.039 But we did think you could have passed as a Filipino at one point, 584 00:40:53.119 --> 00:40:55.920 Mike, Yeah, if I if I gotten the son, I don't know. 585 00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:00.400 The thing that got you is that you weren't able to put with your 586 00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:04.639 lips. See now, it's just like you're making kissy faces. Yeah, 587 00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:08.159 what's going on with my lips? Can you strong for me? What's point? 588 00:41:08.599 --> 00:41:12.719 This point with your lips will show me I'll see Tam to go. 589 00:41:13.760 --> 00:41:16.159 Yeah, yeah, okay, you're getting it, Mi, No, No, 590 00:41:16.760 --> 00:41:20.079 it's too much like it. You have to kind of tilt your head 591 00:41:20.119 --> 00:41:22.000 as well. Yeah, I'm trying to like take a sip of something. 592 00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:28.440 Yeah, yeah, exactly like you're taking a sip but pointing it. Okay, 593 00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:34.440 so it's less like side movement and just yeah forward for audio listeners, 594 00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:37.239 I did it the best, for sure, Absolutely you did. I don't 595 00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:42.280 know what we're doing here. Uh. Going from my internet is like kind 596 00:41:42.280 --> 00:41:45.039 of dipping in and out, So I am like three or four seconds behind 597 00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:50.920 all of you, and I'm just trying to be like, which is peak 598 00:41:51.039 --> 00:41:53.039 podcasting? This is what it looks like. Well, I'll set you up, 599 00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:57.039 Lucy for you to talk for an extended period of time that we won't 600 00:41:57.039 --> 00:42:00.360 interrupt, because this game takes place in twenty fourteen, much like a game 601 00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:04.239 that you're currently playing and put on the dock here. Dragon Age Inquisition. 602 00:42:05.400 --> 00:42:10.000 Oh nice, Chan, that was an unbelievable setue. Ten years since Dragon 603 00:42:10.039 --> 00:42:15.920 Age Inquisition, you're nailing it. Yeah. I have decided to replay Dragon 604 00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:21.320 Age Inquisition because Dragon Age the Veilguard is coming out this year. I am 605 00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:24.880 because I like having a bunch of stuff on my plate. At all times. 606 00:42:25.159 --> 00:42:29.480 I want to replay it because I want to. I don't know. 607 00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:31.960 I want to feel the love for that little egg man all over again. 608 00:42:32.440 --> 00:42:36.960 I want to feel something again. I want to feel something again. And 609 00:42:37.079 --> 00:42:39.960 I I was playing it the other day and I like, made a character, 610 00:42:40.039 --> 00:42:43.079 made it an Elf, and I was like, ah, I made 611 00:42:43.079 --> 00:42:45.119 an elf rogue, not happy with it. When Mack made another character, 612 00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:51.599 made a Canari warrior, not happy with them. And so then yesterday I 613 00:42:51.679 --> 00:42:54.760 went back and I made an Elf mage, which is really annoying because that 614 00:42:54.920 --> 00:42:59.840 is the exact character that I made ten years ago, and I wanted to 615 00:42:59.880 --> 00:43:05.000 do something different. But this time, I'm not gonna date Cullen. If 616 00:43:05.079 --> 00:43:08.880 you're part of the fandom, you will absolutely remember all that stuff I'm gonna 617 00:43:08.920 --> 00:43:12.880 I'm gonna date Solus this time. Well, he only he only dates elves, 618 00:43:12.960 --> 00:43:17.280 I think, ye, and I know I hate to see it. 619 00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:22.239 Yeah, he only dates elves. And I'm really trying my hardest to to 620 00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:28.320 make him like me. But also because I think that means you know, 621 00:43:28.440 --> 00:43:30.920 the end of the game and Trespasser will hit doubly hard if my character has 622 00:43:31.039 --> 00:43:36.519 Robanstone. This game is three dollars on the Steam right now. Yes, 623 00:43:36.760 --> 00:43:39.079 it's no. So all of dragon Age was on like a massive sale. 624 00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:43.679 So I also picked because I have I could have played it through game Pass, 625 00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:45.639 although I don't know if it's on game Pass PC. But I picked 626 00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:51.800 up dragon Age Origins and Inquisition. But apparently you need to use a bunch 627 00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:54.199 of mods to make Origins run because it was just was never really probably optimized 628 00:43:54.239 --> 00:44:00.199 for PC. Dragon Age Inquisition runs really well, at least on my big 629 00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:07.480 thank you and sixty and No, it's just it's it's wild going back to 630 00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:13.039 it because at the beginning it is truly like you don't know what's going on, 631 00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:16.199 You've got no abilities, like, and then it's mad at like how 632 00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:20.400 quickly you kind of start to feel really powerful. I'm in the Hinterlands at 633 00:44:20.440 --> 00:44:22.800 the moment, but I'm not going to make the mistake that I did last 634 00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:25.280 time. The hinterlands. Oh, I'm sorry, I misheard you. What 635 00:44:25.400 --> 00:44:30.519 did you think I said, we don't need to go there, hind No, 636 00:44:30.679 --> 00:44:34.480 no, no, no, Ohio. I'm in the hinterlands. And 637 00:44:34.599 --> 00:44:38.760 so that's this infamous area that everyone just spends like twenty hours in when you 638 00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:43.639 really don't need to. So I love that you said, I'm in the 639 00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:47.639 hinterlands at the moment, Like, yeah, everyone's in the hinterlnz forever in 640 00:44:47.760 --> 00:44:51.800 that game. Well, there's there's a hinter lands in World of Warcraft. 641 00:44:51.880 --> 00:44:55.239 What does hinter mean? Does a hinterlands Eldon's hinterlands in Eldon Ring? That's 642 00:44:55.280 --> 00:45:00.320 one of the what do you call it? Hint to lance? Apparently I 643 00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:04.639 gotta find out what that word me. Yeah, and so I don't know, 644 00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:08.920 Like the music's kicking in. I've got like a lot of my squad, 645 00:45:08.960 --> 00:45:12.400 but not all of them are kind of rocking up. I forgot how 646 00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:16.559 much I love Cassandra. Oh yeah, yeah, you put Veric in the 647 00:45:16.599 --> 00:45:20.320 group. I kind of always had to have Varic there. Well, so 648 00:45:20.440 --> 00:45:24.000 I haven't got everyone just yet. So I think right now I'm rocking Varrik, 649 00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:30.639 Solas, and Cassandra. I think I love Cassandra so much though, 650 00:45:30.679 --> 00:45:39.760 So I was like, maybe I'll swap out Soss for for Iron Bulb or 651 00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:45.599 like Vivianne. I don't know. I don't know, it's just Gissy back 652 00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:50.159 because I haven't touched it in literally ten years. So yeah, I enjoyed. 653 00:45:50.199 --> 00:45:52.920 I enjoyed that game when it came out I played through it, not 654 00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:54.599 a whole lot of it stuck with me. I'm one of those obnoxious people 655 00:45:54.599 --> 00:45:59.119 who's like Origins was the best one because it was more of an RPG and 656 00:45:59.199 --> 00:46:05.280 I'm old. But I definitely enjoyed Inquisition and I am looking forward to Vailguard 657 00:46:05.360 --> 00:46:07.840 for sure. I don't know if I quite want to, like take the 658 00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:12.280 time to go back to Inquisition, maybe i'd watch somebody else play it or 659 00:46:12.360 --> 00:46:15.679 something, because I am kind of like I could use a refresher. I 660 00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:19.559 remember there was a lot of green tears when we closed the green tears, 661 00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:22.360 and so also as a friend and then like at the end, maybe not 662 00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:24.000 a friend. Those are the things I remember. I mean, that's that's 663 00:46:24.039 --> 00:46:29.280 basically the game. There we go, uh, well, we're going to 664 00:46:29.320 --> 00:46:31.400 take a quick breaking break and polish off the rest of these games that we 665 00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:37.400 have listed here. But tam we gotta say Cyanara, yeah run, I 666 00:46:37.519 --> 00:46:42.480 got to do another podcast deal wielding podcasts Hall yeah hallia. Oh.

It makes me think of hot 673 00:47:09.400 --> 00:47:13.559 dogs a lot. I saw this guy over the weekend with a hot dog 674 00:47:13.679 --> 00:47:19.079 stand and a dog selling hot dogs and it was mad adorable. Tam is 675 00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:22.519 still here. Yeah, I don't know how time works. It's fine, 676 00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:27.320 we don't know either.

Now? 681 00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:53.199 Are we not back? Why are we not back? Because you just 682 00:47:53.239 --> 00:47:57.679 said we're going to do something on the show, and this is this show, 683 00:47:58.119 --> 00:48:02.280 this is the show is just fantasy.

Rosalina used to be my favorite princess until the Internet 691 00:48:32.360 --> 00:48:37.000 told me it was actually dating until Daisy was thrust upon you and not that 692 00:48:37.119 --> 00:48:40.880 way. Yeah phrasing. But yeah, I'm doing good. I go I'm 693 00:48:42.360 --> 00:48:45.519 taking care of a few things. I think I can talk about this now. 694 00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:47.840 It might might as well be on the BombCast. Uh, unless things 695 00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:52.039 go horribly horribly awry with scheduling because I need to uh, I need to 696 00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:57.679 finish booking a couple of things I should I should be at EVO this year. 697 00:48:58.039 --> 00:49:01.239 Oh, I got for my press pass and everything. So I'm just 698 00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:05.559 uh, you know, finalizing flights and whatnot to make it as cheap as 699 00:49:05.599 --> 00:49:08.159 possible. U. But yeah, I should be out there, so you 700 00:49:08.239 --> 00:49:10.000 know, if y'all are going to be there in a couple of weeks, 701 00:49:10.039 --> 00:49:13.880 make sure you say hi. I hope Mike actually mutes his mike this time 702 00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:19.960 if he's taking a call. Later this is the one time I will advocate 703 00:49:20.199 --> 00:49:24.159 for someone trying to fight Sean. If you see Sean at EVO him, 704 00:49:24.360 --> 00:49:28.920 oh yeah, my my red ranks. Lily will gladly take you on. 705 00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:34.480 Are you are you paying out pocket together there? Yeah? Okay, yeah, 706 00:49:34.679 --> 00:49:37.960 you know I don't get some benefits the full time employees. Good listen, 707 00:49:37.039 --> 00:49:39.599 listen, listen, listen. I was just gonna say, we'll talk 708 00:49:39.679 --> 00:49:45.880 after. Let's see if you can. Okay, Okay. Part of that 709 00:49:46.440 --> 00:49:52.079 is that Jan made me do something. I blame Jan for this entirety. 710 00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:58.760 I bought something something, God damn it, it's not here yet, but 711 00:49:59.800 --> 00:50:07.280 I ordered an iPhone fifteen pro. Yeah, I'm one of those guys an 712 00:50:07.400 --> 00:50:12.760 iPhone fifteen pro. Lucy, what did you? Oh my god? Yeah, 713 00:50:15.320 --> 00:50:17.760 because it looked like it is sinking in. I'm not gonna lie, 714 00:50:17.840 --> 00:50:22.239 guys. I'm having a horrible time with this delay. Like every time you 715 00:50:22.280 --> 00:50:24.440 guys say something like even even if one of you talks over the other one, 716 00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:28.679 I can't hear shit. So like I didn't realize that Shane was going 717 00:50:28.719 --> 00:50:31.239 to EVO until like maybe thirty seconds after you said it, where I was 718 00:50:31.280 --> 00:50:36.400 like, something's happening in a couple of weeks. Oh evo. Wait, 719 00:50:36.480 --> 00:50:40.079 so basically, so me sending you that app for the new iPhone camera thing 720 00:50:40.800 --> 00:50:45.119 that I mean, yeah, that didn't help. Yeah, I was mentioning 721 00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:47.840 that this isn't helping things, Lucy, That's what I was talking about. 722 00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:52.639 Yeah, Wow, you're going to EVA. That's crazy an iPhone that's crazy. 723 00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:57.280 Yeah, that's crazy too. Yeah necessary chat's wondering why that's like a 724 00:50:57.320 --> 00:51:00.960 big deal because I've been using Android phones like since the beginning, and so 725 00:51:00.239 --> 00:51:04.760 now I have to like switch over and like figure some stuff out. But 726 00:51:04.760 --> 00:51:07.039 it's gonna be worth it because you know that don't have a really good video. 727 00:51:08.800 --> 00:51:13.480 It's surprisingly easy to switch over, I assume. So yeah, because 728 00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:15.639 it's just all the Google apps are over there now. You can even just 729 00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:21.360 use Gboard on iPhones now, so it's like, I'm sorry for taking a 730 00:51:21.440 --> 00:51:27.239 call that was my sky Rizzy getting rescheduled there, So it's important. Wait, 731 00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:30.800 so the app, because Captain Burgundy asked, is that iPhone just released 732 00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:34.519 a new app called like Final Cut Camera or something, and it basically allows 733 00:51:34.559 --> 00:51:38.559 you to multi stream to an iPad and like you can change everything in your 734 00:51:38.639 --> 00:51:44.920 life. You can change focal lens. You can change like white balance. 735 00:51:45.239 --> 00:51:49.000 It's all. It's a really cool app that you can put in and it's 736 00:51:49.039 --> 00:51:52.559 free. Now that that's yeah, that's gonna That's not gonna do much for 737 00:51:52.639 --> 00:51:55.079 me since I'm going out there solo. But in the future when me and 738 00:51:55.199 --> 00:51:59.639 Jan are inevitably together, We're gonna get kept to some Shenangan's with that. 739 00:51:59.719 --> 00:52:04.199 I feel I can't wait to live Switch. I want to just live Switch 740 00:52:04.519 --> 00:52:07.840 life if I could. Is there a limit to how many phones you can 741 00:52:07.960 --> 00:52:12.360 have? I think it's like four five? That's going to be fun. 742 00:52:13.000 --> 00:52:19.559 Oh multi streaming, Yeah, yeah, just like owning phones, because I 743 00:52:19.639 --> 00:52:22.800 was like, I feel like that, you know, there's no limit to 744 00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:28.760 that legal limit. I had four phones at one point. Yeah. Maybe 745 00:52:28.840 --> 00:52:35.000 we take another quick bricky break and to try and fix some some internet issues. 746 00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:40.119 Yeah, just for uh some stuff. We'll be right back right after 747 00:52:40.239 --> 00:52:46.800 this and we are back. Take that technical malfunctions. Nothing is going to 748 00:52:46.840 --> 00:52:51.639 stop this train of the podcast, the Bomb Cast. We're going, Sean's 749 00:52:51.679 --> 00:52:53.599 going to EVO, Sean has a new phone, going to have a new 750 00:52:53.679 --> 00:53:00.880 phone. We're gonna shoot so much in log Damn what color is the phone? 751 00:53:01.599 --> 00:53:04.719 Man? I wanted to get the white one because then you could do 752 00:53:04.840 --> 00:53:08.480 more of fun colors, but unfortunately my carrier doesn't carry that for whatever reason. 753 00:53:08.559 --> 00:53:10.400 So I was like, Eh, just a black one. Whatever. 754 00:53:12.159 --> 00:53:15.320 I'm I'm slapping a case on it anyway, So it's like, I'll just 755 00:53:15.400 --> 00:53:17.159 get a more interesting case, right, I just took my case off. 756 00:53:17.280 --> 00:53:21.199 Like, what color is my phone? I don't I guess so many people. 757 00:53:21.519 --> 00:53:23.159 Yeah, Like whenever I listen to tech podcasts, are like, obviously 758 00:53:23.559 --> 00:53:27.920 you know they're reviewing a bunch of stuff, but they're like, yeah, 759 00:53:27.920 --> 00:53:30.199 what color is under this case? I don't even know? It's why were 760 00:53:30.239 --> 00:53:34.159 they sent me? I got a bunch of stupid filters that I can maybe 761 00:53:34.199 --> 00:53:37.239 send you, Ray Sean, It's gonna be great. O. Hell yah, 762 00:53:37.840 --> 00:53:43.519 last game that I wanted to hear about before we get to the news. 763 00:53:44.039 --> 00:53:47.039 This was stirring up its own news. Actually, But Mike Minatti, 764 00:53:47.719 --> 00:53:53.400 you've been playing Final Fantasy fourteen down drew right, the latest Final Fancy fourteen 765 00:53:53.519 --> 00:53:57.840 expansion. I haven't been able to like go super crazy in it. Like 766 00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:02.239 my progression in the main story quest line is this still relatively slow. I'm 767 00:54:02.280 --> 00:54:07.960 only in kind of the first big zone there. I've been enjoying it. 768 00:54:07.159 --> 00:54:09.039 I just kind of like, you know, going to a new place and 769 00:54:09.079 --> 00:54:13.920 seeing things. There's been some discourse, you know, I think, yeah, 770 00:54:13.960 --> 00:54:15.159 there's been a little bit of discourse with some people say, yeah, 771 00:54:15.960 --> 00:54:21.880 no, not that. Uh it's it's more it's basically what fop Facy fourteen 772 00:54:21.960 --> 00:54:25.719 has always been for a while, where the main story quest is literally kind 773 00:54:25.760 --> 00:54:30.639 of just story, right, Like you don't fight anything in the game probably 774 00:54:30.679 --> 00:54:34.599 the first like four or five hours to you like get to a dungeon. 775 00:54:34.679 --> 00:54:37.679 Basically, it's not like we're at a warcraft where every quest is, hey, 776 00:54:37.760 --> 00:54:42.320 go kill so and so or so many of these things right fall Face 777 00:54:42.400 --> 00:54:45.599 fourteen for like a long time ago is like that's kind of just filler and 778 00:54:45.800 --> 00:54:49.280 not engaging. So we're just not gonna do it. And they're right, 779 00:54:49.840 --> 00:54:53.480 but maybe they need to throw in some other encounters to pick up the pace 780 00:54:53.960 --> 00:54:57.159 a little bit, because you know, for some people it's like, yeah, 781 00:54:57.159 --> 00:54:59.440 I feel like I just went to a place and I'm getting kind of 782 00:54:59.440 --> 00:55:04.920 assaulted with proper nouns. And that's true. Again, it kind of always 783 00:55:05.280 --> 00:55:07.880 has been true. But maybe this is just the point where it's bothering some 784 00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:13.079 people, I think for some people. So the whole point of this expansion 785 00:55:13.159 --> 00:55:16.920 is that this is kind of the vacation arc or sort of a bit of 786 00:55:17.000 --> 00:55:22.920 a coming down from the big storyline we had that got resolved in the last 787 00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:25.960 expansion. Right, So we saved the universe in the last expansion, and 788 00:55:27.480 --> 00:55:30.840 you know, the other expansion is also saving at least the world. Even 789 00:55:30.920 --> 00:55:32.719 in like the patches after the last expansion, we saved the world, and 790 00:55:32.800 --> 00:55:36.360 everybody's always like, oh, I want maybe to just feel like a normal 791 00:55:36.400 --> 00:55:38.559 adventure again. And then when I feel like when you actually do give people 792 00:55:38.639 --> 00:55:42.400 that, a lot of times they kind of have a backlar reaction like, 793 00:55:42.559 --> 00:55:49.880 well, now this doesn't feel important. Yeah right, So again I'm not 794 00:55:49.960 --> 00:55:52.519 super far into it, so I'm not having that problem. The other thing 795 00:55:52.719 --> 00:55:59.639 is that there's kind of a new character who is is maybe more the focal 796 00:55:59.679 --> 00:56:01.960 point even you are, and it kind of is like, oh, you're 797 00:56:02.039 --> 00:56:07.760 this character's bodyguard and you're helping them in their story. Which it's interesting they 798 00:56:07.800 --> 00:56:10.440 would do that again because that's what they basically did in the Storm Blood expansion, 799 00:56:10.480 --> 00:56:15.920 which is most people's least favorite expansion at least storyline wise, so there's 800 00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:20.679 kind of a little string to see them just kind of copy that model and 801 00:56:20.840 --> 00:56:23.639 maybe it didn't really work for them. That's also, to be fair though, 802 00:56:23.679 --> 00:56:27.320 it's also kind of how fourteen started though in a real and we're born 803 00:56:27.480 --> 00:56:30.519 right's kind of how you start off, right, I think. But like 804 00:56:30.679 --> 00:56:35.119 Shadow Bringers especially and Heavn's word a bit too, we're pretty good at like 805 00:56:35.239 --> 00:56:37.880 making you feel like the main character, which is something that like word a 806 00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:40.880 Warkcraft has never been good at. Is something that I think made Fun Fantasy 807 00:56:40.880 --> 00:56:45.400 fourteen stand out. Again, I'm not that foreign to it. I think 808 00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:49.679 a lot of it depends on how much you like this new character so far. 809 00:56:50.239 --> 00:56:52.400 I like her fine, but I want to get to know her better. 810 00:56:52.840 --> 00:56:55.480 But you know, just the vibes of the expansion are really working for 811 00:56:55.599 --> 00:57:00.800 me because it is that kind of tropical thing. People jokingly called it Margaritaville 812 00:57:00.800 --> 00:57:05.440 expansion into them. You've got my attention now, yeah, right, yeah, 813 00:57:05.480 --> 00:57:09.119 it's you know, it's it's it's a lot of kind of tropical uh, 814 00:57:09.440 --> 00:57:15.559 you know, lots of waterfalls and sunshine and beaches kind of things. 815 00:57:15.639 --> 00:57:20.000 So that's been really pleasant. Uh, And I locked one of the new 816 00:57:20.119 --> 00:57:22.440 jobs called pic dome Mancer, which is really fun. It's it's like a 817 00:57:22.639 --> 00:57:27.639 mage that is drawing stuff, so it's like a paint brush mage kind of 818 00:57:27.719 --> 00:57:34.760 thing. I was going to make a pictionary joke. It's aictionary, but 819 00:57:35.039 --> 00:57:40.239 it's actually like a summoner with paintings kind of right, so you can like 820 00:57:40.360 --> 00:57:49.760 paint. Oh my god, that's that's this before my Time cartoon. It 821 00:57:50.000 --> 00:57:57.079 was after my Time whatever time is linear and confusing, Yeah, something like 822 00:57:57.159 --> 00:58:00.000 that now. But it's fun because you like you like like draw a google 823 00:58:00.039 --> 00:58:04.440 and then you use the moogle to like summon to do an attack kind of 824 00:58:04.519 --> 00:58:07.159 a thing, right, And there's or like you draw a hammer and now 825 00:58:07.199 --> 00:58:09.079 you have a hammer combo and it's like a big whack a mouble hammer. 826 00:58:09.360 --> 00:58:15.280 So it's a very like it's like a very beautiful job. Like the effects 827 00:58:15.320 --> 00:58:17.079 of it are just really cool and colorful and fun. But it also has 828 00:58:17.119 --> 00:58:21.480 a pretty nice flow to it that I'm in I am enjoying, so it 829 00:58:21.559 --> 00:58:24.480 actually I probably spent most of my time just kind of leveling up this job 830 00:58:24.559 --> 00:58:29.400 for fun. I've been enjoying it more than I was expecting. So yeah, 831 00:58:30.159 --> 00:58:34.440 I did the thing again that happens every single Steam sale, where I'll 832 00:58:34.519 --> 00:58:37.559 look at the recommended stuff and the Q thing that Steam builds for you, 833 00:58:37.119 --> 00:58:40.440 and I'll see, like, oh, Final Fantasy fourteen, maybe I should 834 00:58:40.480 --> 00:58:44.880 buy that. Then I realize I've already bought it three or four times. 835 00:58:45.199 --> 00:58:49.039 Yeah, yeah, me too. It also has a free trial that would 836 00:58:49.119 --> 00:58:51.800 last year like two hundred hours of gameplay, which is more than most people 837 00:58:51.840 --> 00:58:54.400 will get through. Yeah, it's crazy that, you know, some people 838 00:58:54.480 --> 00:58:59.199 don't like me saying this, but follow Fantasy fourteen is actually just like straight 839 00:58:59.280 --> 00:59:05.559 up free to play up to a certain point. It was, yeah, 840 00:59:05.840 --> 00:59:08.199 because yeah, like, uh, you know, Found Fantasy fourteen is free 841 00:59:08.239 --> 00:59:13.440 to play up to the critically acclaimed expansion Heaven's words something like that. Yeah, 842 00:59:13.559 --> 00:59:15.480 now I expanded to store and but yeah, that's that's cool. They're 843 00:59:15.599 --> 00:59:21.360 just like giving you three, well, two really good and one kind of 844 00:59:21.480 --> 00:59:24.079 just all right finle fantasy games for free, like yeah, yeah, like 845 00:59:24.159 --> 00:59:29.719 star Buds not bad. But yeah, it's storyline is probably the weakest that 846 00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:31.920 we've had, except you know, I was gonna say Born is very Oh 847 00:59:32.119 --> 00:59:37.360 yeah, you're right, it's amazing, but Evan's words amazing. And then 848 00:59:37.400 --> 00:59:42.880 Shadow Bringers the third expansion is also like the the the top tier one in 849 00:59:42.920 --> 00:59:45.719 at and Walker was very good. Ed Walker's kind of Shadow Bringers Part two. 850 00:59:45.719 --> 00:59:51.000 I think that's the other part of it is that Shadow Bringers very serious 851 00:59:51.079 --> 00:59:53.119 heavy steaks, and and Walker's same thing. So I think it's a little 852 00:59:53.159 --> 00:59:57.440 bit of a shock that the steaks are so much lower and things are a 853 00:59:57.440 --> 01:00:00.840 bit chill. Again. I like that, but again and some people get 854 01:00:00.920 --> 01:00:02.400 be like, ah, this doesn't seem important. This will be Yeah, 855 01:00:02.440 --> 01:00:06.880 this will be interesting for me because well, when Jan asked if I want 856 01:00:06.920 --> 01:00:07.679 to fill in for a second half of the show, I was like, 857 01:00:07.719 --> 01:00:10.239 you know that, that's perfect because I haven't been playing a lot of games 858 01:00:10.440 --> 01:00:15.960 because I've just been getting caught up in fourteen leading into down Trail. I'm 859 01:00:15.480 --> 01:00:21.239 very behind I am in end Walker right now. So Okay, for me, 860 01:00:21.320 --> 01:00:22.760 it's gonna be really interesting if I do stick with it, because you 861 01:00:22.800 --> 01:00:27.079 know, it might be a lot to play to basically Final Fantasy games back 862 01:00:27.119 --> 01:00:31.280 to back, but going from and Walker into Dawn Trail immediately, I'm gonna 863 01:00:31.280 --> 01:00:36.480 see more than most people what the contrast is there between the two expansions. 864 01:00:36.559 --> 01:00:43.639 But for me, honestly, I've I'm not the biggest fan of As much 865 01:00:43.639 --> 01:00:46.159 as I like power fantasies in games, It's why I play character action games 866 01:00:46.159 --> 01:00:50.800 a lot. I'm never a fan of when like RPG not that way too, 867 01:00:51.599 --> 01:00:55.079 I'm never a huge fan of when like RPGs do escalate to you are 868 01:00:55.239 --> 01:01:01.639 some random guy who just turns into the drawer of worlds and the entire universe 869 01:01:01.679 --> 01:01:07.840 centers around you because chance. It's always seemed a bit weird to me. 870 01:01:07.960 --> 01:01:14.000 And they're the chosen Are the chosen one? Yeah, you are the like 871 01:01:14.159 --> 01:01:17.599 all capital letters warrior of Lights. And I don't know, maybe taking our 872 01:01:17.760 --> 01:01:22.679 character back a little bit and grounding them a little bit more, I don't 873 01:01:22.679 --> 01:01:24.239 know, obviously, I don't know what happens at the end of End Walker. 874 01:01:24.280 --> 01:01:28.159 I would be interested to see if maybe there's a reason that they bring 875 01:01:28.239 --> 01:01:31.519 you back down to Earth a little more, but I assume not, But 876 01:01:32.039 --> 01:01:36.320 it would be interesting to at least like thrust that upon the character again, 877 01:01:36.440 --> 01:01:38.719 to be like, they kind of are just a person now. Like I 878 01:01:38.840 --> 01:01:43.800 think your character being a bit of a silent protagonist has always lent itself to 879 01:01:43.840 --> 01:01:45.760 that, because then your character can be whatever the story needs you be you're 880 01:01:45.880 --> 01:01:50.280 very they they lean into it a lot in fourteen, where like, oh, 881 01:01:50.400 --> 01:01:52.320 they're like they're so humble all the time. They don't like talk about 882 01:01:52.320 --> 01:01:55.360 their deeds much as fine, because you know, you don't talk so right 883 01:01:55.559 --> 01:01:59.880 exactly. Yeah, strong with silent type it is always hard because you aren't, 884 01:02:00.039 --> 01:02:01.480 like you said that destroy of worlds. And then now we're, you 885 01:02:01.519 --> 01:02:05.119 know, doing this other storyline with smaller steaks, and it's kind of like 886 01:02:05.519 --> 01:02:07.320 I should just be able to glare at somebody and they should do whatever. 887 01:02:07.880 --> 01:02:12.599 Yeah, that's why. Yeah, it's weird where it's like I'm playing even 888 01:02:12.639 --> 01:02:15.480 something like Persona where the powers are sort of like partitioned off from the real 889 01:02:15.519 --> 01:02:19.599 world. Even though it's like I just killed God the other day and I 890 01:02:19.679 --> 01:02:22.239 gotta go back to high school. It just just feels weird. Man. 891 01:02:22.880 --> 01:02:28.559 Yeah, nope, exactly. Uh I I have the weirdest case of fomo. 892 01:02:28.800 --> 01:02:34.639 Anytime I hear folk talking about Final Fantasy fourteen almost you almost said, 893 01:02:35.760 --> 01:02:39.360 I never got Final Fortnite fourteen. Fine anyway, fomo. And then you 894 01:02:39.480 --> 01:02:45.119 know you see the nasty boys chatting about it constantly. Maybe that's why they're 895 01:02:45.159 --> 01:02:50.239 so nasty. Maybe that's what made them so nasty. Yeah, I was 896 01:02:50.320 --> 01:02:53.119 like, oh, maybe maybe maybe today's the day. Maybe how can I 897 01:02:53.199 --> 01:02:59.280 block out enough time that I just do it for work instead. It's a 898 01:02:59.360 --> 01:03:01.639 lot, that's the thing, A lot of time. Yeah. We talked 899 01:03:01.679 --> 01:03:05.679 about doing this the last time Grub was out. We were like, it 900 01:03:05.960 --> 01:03:15.400 starts final Fantasy for final jan tam Lucy, a friendship reborn the name. 901 01:03:16.280 --> 01:03:20.280 Yeah, and and that's when, like, uh, the series becomes so 902 01:03:20.480 --> 01:03:24.519 popular that that's when we have a beef over money. Yeah, that's what 903 01:03:24.639 --> 01:03:28.280 breaks up. That's what breaks up the band. That's what ruins the world 904 01:03:28.360 --> 01:03:32.960 tour. Uh. Speaking about world tour. Uh, we were not going 905 01:03:32.960 --> 01:03:38.320 on the world tour news. This is going to ruin the tour tour. 906 01:03:39.360 --> 01:03:45.760 The world tour man is so wrong. That's such a better mean than talked 907 01:03:45.800 --> 01:03:51.480 to, So much better, so much much better, you know. I 908 01:03:51.559 --> 01:03:54.199 saw a really good, a really good version of the meme today where it 909 01:03:54.280 --> 01:03:59.760 was basically like police say that they were tipped off to Justin Timberlake being in 910 01:03:59.800 --> 01:04:02.440 Talk the Kid, and there was a picture of Janet Jackson hiding behind a 911 01:04:02.480 --> 01:04:06.880 bush on a phone, and I was like, that's true. She deserves 912 01:04:08.239 --> 01:04:12.039 an apology. From him as just Brittany, as does his wife who he 913 01:04:12.280 --> 01:04:15.840 publicly cheated on and she stuck by him. Shouts out to Jessica Bialo, 914 01:04:16.119 --> 01:04:21.239 Jessica Biel, she probably deserves you know what. Also, he should apologize 915 01:04:21.320 --> 01:04:28.280 Anna Kendrick, his bad pr tanked the last Trolls movie. Yep, trust 916 01:04:28.400 --> 01:04:33.079 he didn't do well. Yeah, and minions. It's like the guaranteed Hollywood 917 01:04:33.119 --> 01:04:38.840 formula. Yeah, Furios would have performed better in the box office if Anya 918 01:04:38.880 --> 01:04:43.679 Taylor Joy was surrounded by minions. Are you all also devastated that Despicable Me 919 01:04:43.800 --> 01:04:46.760 For is getting lukewarm reviews? I didn't even know it was out. I 920 01:04:46.800 --> 01:04:51.480 don't even know that was a Despicable for ye Oh yeah. I saw a 921 01:04:51.519 --> 01:04:55.519 commercial for it the other day because I was watching TV for the first time 922 01:04:55.519 --> 01:04:57.559 in a long time, Like, what the hell is this? There's a 923 01:04:57.639 --> 01:05:00.079 fourth line. The thing is is that I I had to go on like 924 01:05:00.199 --> 01:05:03.840 Expinity's website the other day and they had a bunch of minions on it, 925 01:05:04.079 --> 01:05:10.760 and I was like, that's just grub log off you're on holiday, but 926 01:05:11.159 --> 01:05:13.280 he yeah, it's just basically like there's minions all the time. And I 927 01:05:13.400 --> 01:05:16.239 just figured, like they had some kind of long term partnership with the Minions 928 01:05:17.000 --> 01:05:21.719 Minions Inc. I don't know, ink, we're going to figure out that 929 01:05:21.800 --> 01:05:26.320 we all need to apologize the despicable me for it as a sixty three percent 930 01:05:26.360 --> 01:05:30.440 of rot tomatoes, which actually means it's fresh. So that's shocking. Sixty 931 01:05:30.519 --> 01:05:35.679 three is fresh nowadays fresh? Yeah? I think anything above sixty Yeah, 932 01:05:35.800 --> 01:05:42.400 yeah, so okay, seventy is good. Six apologized to grow in his 933 01:05:42.519 --> 01:05:45.880 family. Thank you for speaking about fresh. We got some fresh news about 934 01:05:45.880 --> 01:05:50.480 the Nintendo switch to, or supposedly what it's going to be. I forgot 935 01:05:50.559 --> 01:05:54.760 that I had to do news because grub was gone, and then I panicked 936 01:05:54.760 --> 01:05:57.559 them like there's no news. I'm just gonna say there's no news and we're 937 01:05:57.559 --> 01:06:00.559 gonna skip it. But we need to take at breaks. But basically, 938 01:06:01.320 --> 01:06:06.719 Nintendo president Shintaro for Okawa has said, I fucking hate scalpers. So to 939 01:06:06.800 --> 01:06:13.280 solve the problem for the Nintendo switch to, everyone will kill the scalpers. 940 01:06:14.119 --> 01:06:17.840 Uh. It's so the scalpers don't prevail. We're just gonna make Hella switch 941 01:06:17.920 --> 01:06:21.800 twos. That's what we're gonna do. We're just gonna make a bunch the 942 01:06:21.920 --> 01:06:27.920 semiconductor problem that plagued us during the original switch gone, forget about it. 943 01:06:28.280 --> 01:06:30.920 We're just gonna make this make a bunch so the scalpers can't get to it. 944 01:06:31.119 --> 01:06:33.320 So if you want to switch to, you get a switch to. 945 01:06:33.679 --> 01:06:40.400 That's what's That's what's gonna happen. The part of the supply constraint that plagued 946 01:06:40.480 --> 01:06:44.679 the original switch was all semi conductors, for Okawa has said that that is 947 01:06:44.800 --> 01:06:47.400 no longer an issue. They're good to go. When production ramps up. 948 01:06:47.800 --> 01:06:50.360 When will we see this? When are we get at least going to get 949 01:06:50.480 --> 01:06:54.679 a whisper of this? It is the weird thing right now. Right like, 950 01:06:55.159 --> 01:06:57.800 we had that direct, which I think a lot of us think is 951 01:06:57.840 --> 01:07:01.639 going to be the last big direct for the switch one. So at some 952 01:07:01.760 --> 01:07:04.519 point by the end of the year, I still I think fall, maybe 953 01:07:04.639 --> 01:07:10.920 later in fall, we do finally get something concrete about the switch to, 954 01:07:11.599 --> 01:07:15.400 like you know what it's actually call it at least and hopefully a release window 955 01:07:15.440 --> 01:07:18.199 and maybe a look at the Mario game we all assume is going to launch 956 01:07:18.199 --> 01:07:21.400 to it. And speaking of that Mario game, at least back when we 957 01:07:21.519 --> 01:07:26.119 found out that the switch shoe wasn't gonna come out this year. At least 958 01:07:26.119 --> 01:07:29.719 some people were saying it's not necessarily because of the switch to. It's because 959 01:07:29.760 --> 01:07:32.119 of that Mario game like that needs more time. And if that's the case, 960 01:07:32.400 --> 01:07:35.159 then they have plenty of time to make as many switch shoes as they 961 01:07:35.239 --> 01:07:41.519 want, so they can really shore up supply there, so that hopefully won't 962 01:07:41.519 --> 01:07:44.320 be a problem. Now it might be a problem anyways, especially immediately. 963 01:07:44.400 --> 01:07:48.639 There's gonna be so many people who will want a switch to immediately, you 964 01:07:48.719 --> 01:07:51.199 know, they could do their best to shore up as much as they want. 965 01:07:51.239 --> 01:07:55.840 There's gonna be some scalping and stuff like, don't rest on your laurels, 966 01:07:55.880 --> 01:07:57.719 everybody and think, well, they're saying this, so I can just 967 01:07:57.760 --> 01:08:00.199 go, I'm just gonna walk into a Walmart on the day, come out 968 01:08:00.239 --> 01:08:02.920 and get one. I'd still be doing your best to the pre order and 969 01:08:02.960 --> 01:08:06.199 all that stuff if you really want to switch to. Yeah, and I 970 01:08:06.360 --> 01:08:11.480 think Nintendo is in a much smarter place right now. And so if they're 971 01:08:11.679 --> 01:08:15.000 looking at the next system and they say to themselves, this is the switch 972 01:08:15.119 --> 01:08:17.159 to, you know, they're not calling it that. They know that that 973 01:08:17.399 --> 01:08:20.359 is going to sell at least in the long run, so they can just 974 01:08:20.880 --> 01:08:26.680 overproduce if necessary, and then you'll sell eventually. As to when it comes 975 01:08:26.760 --> 01:08:29.800 out or when we hear about it, well, those two things are blanked 976 01:08:29.840 --> 01:08:32.039 obviously. But I think you know, we were talking about this a lot 977 01:08:32.119 --> 01:08:36.720 in our post direct thoughts from the other a week that it just strategy wise, 978 01:08:36.760 --> 01:08:41.000 it makes the most sense to either be in that like March timeframe of 979 01:08:41.119 --> 01:08:44.199 the Switch one, which worked out very well for them last time, because 980 01:08:44.199 --> 01:08:47.720 then if any issues do arise, they're obviously trying to sort through those ahead 981 01:08:47.720 --> 01:08:51.199 of time this time around. But if any issues do arise, those can 982 01:08:51.319 --> 01:08:55.319 all be sorted by the holiday season where you're looking to push the most systems 983 01:08:55.399 --> 01:08:59.039 possible, which is BINK a good strategy, or obviously it would be later 984 01:08:59.119 --> 01:09:01.840 in the year, just before the holiday season. Maybe they're really confident. 985 01:09:01.920 --> 01:09:06.479 May they do just launch in like October November and then just ride the high 986 01:09:06.520 --> 01:09:11.640 train through the holidays. But I I don't know. It's Nintendo and it's 987 01:09:11.760 --> 01:09:15.560 the successor to the Switch, assuming that's not a WEU fumble, which you 988 01:09:15.640 --> 01:09:17.520 know, again they're smarter this time. I'll probably wouldn't do anything like that. 989 01:09:17.880 --> 01:09:20.600 No, I think it's just going to be a better switch this time 990 01:09:20.640 --> 01:09:26.760 around. They put out whenever, so I do think March timeframe would sound 991 01:09:26.840 --> 01:09:29.640 right, which would mean, well, start hearing about it at the end 992 01:09:29.680 --> 01:09:32.640 of this year. At the switch one was a indication because pridly reminder because 993 01:09:32.680 --> 01:09:35.920 some people were like, oh, they didn't talk about it e three season 994 01:09:36.079 --> 01:09:41.800 this year, so therefore it's like so far out. They only officially revealed 995 01:09:41.880 --> 01:09:45.560 the switch like five ish months before it came out. They did that, 996 01:09:46.000 --> 01:09:48.760 you know, the first reveal trailer with the name and everything, the person 997 01:09:48.840 --> 01:09:51.560 at the airport playing all that fun stuff, and then you know, a 998 01:09:51.640 --> 01:09:56.479 couple months later they had like this sort of the lease party thing where they 999 01:09:56.520 --> 01:09:59.720 showed off a bunch of games like SMT five showed up there, they had 1000 01:09:59.720 --> 01:10:01.279 the h you rumble all that, and that was like a month or two 1001 01:10:01.359 --> 01:10:05.279 before a system. So whenever this thing's coming out, you're gonna hear about 1002 01:10:05.640 --> 01:10:10.000 rooftop parties have not been the same. I need the switch is great. 1003 01:10:10.079 --> 01:10:15.359 That last question about the switch to for this lovely panel here kickstand no kickstand? 1004 01:10:17.319 --> 01:10:20.600 Well, I think that's a kickstand. Yeah, I think they will 1005 01:10:20.680 --> 01:10:25.199 have one. I think the one that they put on the Is it the 1006 01:10:25.279 --> 01:10:31.039 old the really long cap No one, that's like a Microsoft surface. It's 1007 01:10:31.119 --> 01:10:40.760 back law proof all right. Next story that I have here is George Rick 1008 01:10:40.880 --> 01:10:45.079 Roll Martin appears to have teased the elder Ring movie or TV adaptation. Uh, 1009 01:10:45.800 --> 01:10:48.479 this man loves stirring the pot with his hot goss and his blog. 1010 01:10:48.640 --> 01:10:53.359 He writes about how he helped with the world building of elden Ring in while 1011 01:10:53.439 --> 01:10:57.439 Myazaki and company did the rest of the work. He addresses Miyazaki mentioning that 1012 01:10:57.479 --> 01:11:01.439 there is interest in an elder Ring adaptation by from directly from his blog, 1013 01:11:01.479 --> 01:11:04.560 writing, Oh and about those rumors? What is what? Does he sound 1014 01:11:04.680 --> 01:11:12.520 like railroad? He sounds He's got like a slightly raspy voice, and he 1015 01:11:12.640 --> 01:11:16.800 talks very fast. Is he American? Yes? Yes? What about those 1016 01:11:16.880 --> 01:11:21.760 rumors you may have heard about a future film or television series base it's not 1017 01:11:21.920 --> 01:11:27.000 far off. Sounds younger than that, like, yeah, high pitched. 1018 01:11:27.560 --> 01:11:30.800 I not a word, no, not a thing. I know nothing. 1019 01:11:30.119 --> 01:11:34.159 You never heard of people from me? Mom? What rumor? Speaking to 1020 01:11:34.239 --> 01:11:38.880 the Guardian, Miyazaki then had also said I don't see any reason to deny 1021 01:11:39.239 --> 01:11:43.720 any another interpretation or actually speaking to GameSpot dot com. He said that, 1022 01:11:44.239 --> 01:11:49.640 speaking to GameSpot dot com, I don't know why this is. Everyone everyone 1023 01:11:49.720 --> 01:11:53.720 did it. Everyone saw the Guardian, and I was like, man, 1024 01:11:53.760 --> 01:11:58.800 I published that week ago. What the fuck an elder ringannaptation or a movie 1025 01:11:58.800 --> 01:12:01.319 example. But I don't think myself from software have the knowledge or ability to 1026 01:12:01.359 --> 01:12:04.399 produce something in a different medium. So that's where a very strong partner would 1027 01:12:04.399 --> 01:12:08.000 come into play. We'd have to build a lot of trust and agreement on 1028 01:12:08.119 --> 01:12:12.359 whatever it is they're trying to achieve. But there's interest for sure. This 1029 01:12:12.520 --> 01:12:16.279 is where I want to pitch that illumination handles the elden Ring movie. I 1030 01:12:16.359 --> 01:12:21.039 was gonna say that partner, Chris Pratt, that's what kind of funny did 1031 01:12:21.119 --> 01:12:25.000 with the I didn't notice it until I went back, but I was on 1032 01:12:25.199 --> 01:12:30.720 games Daily yesterday and they used atonished Chris Pratt and it was upsetting. Oh 1033 01:12:30.840 --> 01:12:39.159 God, could what would they what movie or TV show could they do with 1034 01:12:39.319 --> 01:12:43.359 elden Ring? Would it just end existing lore prior to the game. It 1035 01:12:43.399 --> 01:12:45.319 would almost have to, because you can't really a story about the Tarnish isn't 1036 01:12:45.359 --> 01:12:48.600 isn't all that interesting? It almost had to be about the kind of pantheon 1037 01:12:48.880 --> 01:12:55.960 of the Demi gods and their well they're bullshit Ronnie killing Ratigan or whatever. 1038 01:12:57.479 --> 01:13:00.960 Yeah, I don't know that that seems challenged, right, So it's like 1039 01:13:00.039 --> 01:13:03.359 what people really like if out Ring is just the Lord dumps, right, 1040 01:13:03.680 --> 01:13:09.479 that's what they like to watch. But actual like drama is not really something 1041 01:13:09.520 --> 01:13:11.840 we see a lot of in Outer Ring. I don't know what, excuse 1042 01:13:11.840 --> 01:13:15.159 me. It looks like like character, like these characters actually talking to each 1043 01:13:15.239 --> 01:13:19.199 other and doing things right, not just fighting us and you know, getting 1044 01:13:19.399 --> 01:13:21.960 the kind of Lord nuggets, which I like. I think it's very good. 1045 01:13:23.039 --> 01:13:27.000 It's a very good world, and it can be done. It would 1046 01:13:27.279 --> 01:13:30.800 be a challenge. I'm still I still like, I'm always a little shocked. 1047 01:13:30.840 --> 01:13:32.000 I'm like, oh, George R. Martin was involved in out in 1048 01:13:32.079 --> 01:13:35.840 Ring. You don't get that when you play the game. You never at 1049 01:13:35.920 --> 01:13:38.600 least to me, I'm never playing out of Ring. And I'm like, 1050 01:13:39.159 --> 01:13:44.359 that's so Georgia R. Right now. This is major, super big incest 1051 01:13:44.439 --> 01:13:51.640 and Eldon Ring as far as I remember, well, there's not a lot 1052 01:13:51.720 --> 01:13:58.000 of incest. There's a decent amount of shagging yourself to have kids. There's 1053 01:13:58.000 --> 01:14:01.600 a lot of my missing in this game? What the hell is going on? 1054 01:14:02.359 --> 01:14:09.359 Get yourself like popcorn, get a nice glass of the milk, and 1055 01:14:09.920 --> 01:14:15.520 just watch watch a v watch a vary. Yeah. Yeah, catering the 1056 01:14:15.600 --> 01:14:19.600 beverage to Shan exactly did like like so like did George R. Martin like 1057 01:14:19.800 --> 01:14:25.800 create like he created? No? No, he created, he created like 1058 01:14:26.039 --> 01:14:30.000 the backstory, the lore, and he created like the idea of you know, 1059 01:14:31.079 --> 01:14:34.680 elder. I guess no, kind of I guess probably probably create the 1060 01:14:34.680 --> 01:14:42.359 fact that all the main characters have initials g R. I feel like if 1061 01:14:42.359 --> 01:14:45.319 they wanted to do an adaptation, then it makes sense that they were trying 1062 01:14:45.359 --> 01:14:50.079 to do the the Demi God's beefing. But if they were, they could 1063 01:14:50.159 --> 01:14:56.880 very easily do like the the Shadow of the Tree era story where we actually 1064 01:14:56.960 --> 01:15:01.840 get to see America's rise to the god hood and because that is a rough 1065 01:15:02.960 --> 01:15:10.319 circumstance seal of events that gets there, so it could be that, and 1066 01:15:10.720 --> 01:15:15.720 that would probably pave the way nicely into future seasons where they actually do an 1067 01:15:15.760 --> 01:15:19.520 adaptation of what she does post establishment of the Tree and the Golden Order. 1068 01:15:20.680 --> 01:15:24.600 So I think there's a lot to do there, do I think it's gonna 1069 01:15:24.600 --> 01:15:27.880 happen. Absolutely not, No, no, she just blew my mind. 1070 01:15:27.920 --> 01:15:31.439 I'm sorry. I didn't realize that the g r M thing that's sending me 1071 01:15:31.600 --> 01:15:39.520 right now get ready me. No, like the main characters like like Godrick 1072 01:15:39.600 --> 01:15:46.640 Godfrey, Godfrey, Ranala whoever Ronnie, and then Mogu Morgra again, it's 1073 01:15:46.680 --> 01:15:50.439 just all those three letters holy ship. Ye. If they're an M letter, 1074 01:15:50.760 --> 01:16:00.520 that means that they are a product of self test. Sean, It's 1075 01:16:00.520 --> 01:16:06.800 okay, Sean, It's okay. Great game. Yeah. Well that's that. 1076 01:16:08.199 --> 01:16:10.560 All sounds crazy. And you know what else is crazy? Crazy? 1077 01:16:10.640 --> 01:16:15.760 Taxis coming back? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. 1078 01:16:15.159 --> 01:16:25.159 Do you think the Offspring is coming back? Yeah? They did bring 1079 01:16:25.279 --> 01:16:30.279 them back in like the it was something like after the mobile port or something. 1080 01:16:30.359 --> 01:16:32.960 They like re up the license for that. So I think they know 1081 01:16:33.760 --> 01:16:38.399 the Spring is getting paid. You know, the Offspring has a new album 1082 01:16:38.520 --> 01:16:44.920 coming out in October. Let's go see the Offspring the beach Bla. I 1083 01:16:45.039 --> 01:16:48.399 went to go see an Offspring tour and I left before Offspring actually started. 1084 01:16:48.600 --> 01:16:55.680 What I really just wanted to see simple plan. Well, they're kind of 1085 01:16:55.760 --> 01:17:00.000 crazy Taxi. You guys know about Dexter Holland right like he's a virologist, 1086 01:17:00.319 --> 01:17:03.880 like he has a was it like a he has a BSc. In biology 1087 01:17:04.000 --> 01:17:10.800 and a master's in molecular biology. He can also he can also apply a 1088 01:17:10.880 --> 01:17:17.159 plane like halfway through that, I did I remember what you're talking about? 1089 01:17:17.239 --> 01:17:21.920 Yeah? Yeah, anyway, and a recruitment video producer Kenji Kano, director 1090 01:17:21.960 --> 01:17:26.600 of the original game, sure details for the upcoming Crazy Taxi reboot that is 1091 01:17:26.680 --> 01:17:30.680 being handled by Supporter Studios. Uh. Supposedly this takes place in a fictional 1092 01:17:30.840 --> 01:17:39.960 West Coast theme park like city. Interesting, wow, no comments, Nah, 1093 01:17:41.000 --> 01:17:46.479 No, no one's ever been to one. No one's lower East Coast. 1094 01:17:46.520 --> 01:17:49.479 Who can say? Verry Farm must be not to Berry Farm there you're 1095 01:17:49.479 --> 01:17:55.159 always talking about. I'm talking about that from Chicken the best of West Coast 1096 01:17:55.199 --> 01:18:01.680 theme Park Universal Studios. Naturally the parking lot with a bunch of roller coasters 1097 01:18:01.720 --> 01:18:05.840 in Santa Clara. That's right, Great America Magic Mountain, you can see 1098 01:18:05.880 --> 01:18:12.319 that. Never mind anyway. According to the video, the team is testing 1099 01:18:12.359 --> 01:18:16.840 adapting the Crazy Taxi gameplay into a game with multiple players. The job listing. 1100 01:18:17.239 --> 01:18:23.640 The job listing describes the new game as a new major online title with 1101 01:18:23.720 --> 01:18:28.760 an open world in massively multiplayer driving game elements. I don't know if I 1102 01:18:28.960 --> 01:18:32.680 want that. He's the thing, J You don't want it until I tell 1103 01:18:32.760 --> 01:18:38.479 you the game is split up into factions. Okay, you have you have 1104 01:18:39.119 --> 01:18:44.159 taxi drivers, you have Uber drivers, you have Lyft drivers, and then 1105 01:18:44.199 --> 01:18:48.760 you have autel car drivers. Hell oh, and that's how you compete and 1106 01:18:50.920 --> 01:19:00.359 collectible cards. Lucy stopped pandering as a big like old school Sega guy and 1107 01:19:00.399 --> 01:19:02.720 a big fan ritual Crazy Taxi. I just played Crazy Taxi three on the 1108 01:19:02.760 --> 01:19:06.359 original Xbox not too long ago, which is basically just Crazy Taxi one with 1109 01:19:06.479 --> 01:19:12.439 a couple of new maps and other things. I actually welcome doing this. 1110 01:19:12.680 --> 01:19:15.319 I think, look, there's no way they're going to just release like an 1111 01:19:15.479 --> 01:19:18.239 arcade style game like that these days without very many other bells and whistles. 1112 01:19:18.520 --> 01:19:21.600 And I have those games. Those games are out there. You can play 1113 01:19:21.640 --> 01:19:25.960 those games a bunch of different ways. Now, yeah, let's do something 1114 01:19:26.000 --> 01:19:28.640 with it. This is a game that I think could lend itself pretty easily 1115 01:19:29.119 --> 01:19:32.199 into a multiplayer thing. Whether it's open world, I imagine there will be 1116 01:19:32.319 --> 01:19:36.239 some kind of almost battle royale aspect of it where people get dropped off if 1117 01:19:36.239 --> 01:19:41.760 they're not collecting like a certain threshold a fare money or something like that, 1118 01:19:41.960 --> 01:19:44.640 and you know they could. It could be very easy for them to some 1119 01:19:44.760 --> 01:19:47.760 point, if not at launch, just add the normal crazy taxi mode into 1120 01:19:47.920 --> 01:19:53.319 that big map. I'd be shocked if something like that doesn't exist in some 1121 01:19:53.439 --> 01:19:56.199 way, even if it is kind of still part of that online world. 1122 01:19:56.279 --> 01:20:00.199 I'm not sure. But no, like you know, it doesn't immediately throw 1123 01:20:00.279 --> 01:20:03.319 me off, just because of course they're trying to make something pretty modern with 1124 01:20:03.479 --> 01:20:08.199 it. Yeah, like people are I think having in a media knee jerk 1125 01:20:08.239 --> 01:20:13.239 reaction because this traditionally single player thing that they are turning into a multiplayer thing. 1126 01:20:13.560 --> 01:20:16.479 But what they're describing here to bring up another game that's sort of in 1127 01:20:16.520 --> 01:20:25.239 the news recently, Forts of Horizon four because delisted that game is incredible. 1128 01:20:25.359 --> 01:20:28.479 It's one of my honestly one of my fair games in the past ten years. 1129 01:20:28.520 --> 01:20:30.479 I've put so many hours into it because that's what it is. It 1130 01:20:30.720 --> 01:20:35.800 is a like multiplayer driving game, not necessarily always racing, and they get 1131 01:20:36.000 --> 01:20:40.920 silly as hell in there. It's sports cars, so a lot of times 1132 01:20:41.000 --> 01:20:45.000 it doesn't go too overboard, but once you started getting into buggies and stuff, 1133 01:20:45.119 --> 01:20:46.920 driving around like the UK country side and everything like that. They get 1134 01:20:47.000 --> 01:20:51.239 you some wild challenges and everything. It's so much fun. And doing that 1135 01:20:51.600 --> 01:20:59.159 in a more arcadies setting sounds fantastic for Crazy Taxi to me. Actually a 1136 01:20:59.199 --> 01:21:02.520 couple BombCast appearances for me ago. Me and Dan were talking about this when 1137 01:21:02.600 --> 01:21:09.000 it was sort of in the news again where Crazy Taxi is the series that 1138 01:21:09.279 --> 01:21:15.520 is the most they've set up so much to be that sellout game like Fortnite. 1139 01:21:15.640 --> 01:21:18.479 If ever you were going to have something from back in the day dragged 1140 01:21:18.520 --> 01:21:23.600 into the modern era Fortnite seal, it is Crazy Taxi because if you have 1141 01:21:23.840 --> 01:21:29.760 like Peter Griffin driving around a Dolorean to Pizza Hut and KFC, that makes 1142 01:21:29.800 --> 01:21:32.560 sense in Crazy Taxi. Right, Let's not act like I love Crazy Taxi. 1143 01:21:32.680 --> 01:21:36.039 Let's let's not act to get some sacred thing. Well, I mean 1144 01:21:36.399 --> 01:21:41.319 it is because it's so stupid, right exactly, Like yeah, yeah, 1145 01:21:41.359 --> 01:21:44.000 that's what I mean. Like, oh, we can't tarnish like leg see 1146 01:21:44.000 --> 01:21:46.640 a Crazy Taxi by you know, putting in a brand. It had brands 1147 01:21:46.720 --> 01:21:50.640 immediately, we we love that we could go to Pizza Hut. But yeah, 1148 01:21:50.680 --> 01:21:53.720 back in the day when I would like, you know, take my 1149 01:21:53.880 --> 01:21:56.960 fifty cents out of my allowance that week, and and you know, instead 1150 01:21:56.960 --> 01:22:00.479 of buying a candy bar, I would stop by the local movie theater that 1151 01:22:00.640 --> 01:22:02.920 a crazy taxi machine I got good enough to have just pop my fifty cents 1152 01:22:03.000 --> 01:22:06.239 in, you know, sit there for like twenty minutes or something, and 1153 01:22:06.399 --> 01:22:10.359 just that they're drying people a tower records and stuff. Yeah, it's it's 1154 01:22:10.399 --> 01:22:14.079 a sellout game and it's gonna get goofy and wild, and I want to 1155 01:22:14.119 --> 01:22:16.279 see that, all right. I like, I like everything that we've talked 1156 01:22:16.279 --> 01:22:20.079 about. I especially like TAM's idea of factions. I think we should go 1157 01:22:20.720 --> 01:22:26.279 a step further with the factions. Each faction is represented by a different genre 1158 01:22:26.359 --> 01:22:31.199 of music. The scar faction versus the Emo actually know they would probably team 1159 01:22:31.279 --> 01:22:41.680 up Cape pop girlies, cape popify the old the old men are the like 1160 01:22:41.840 --> 01:22:45.159 butt rockers, that's all like dragula stuff. Let's throw in some yacht rock 1161 01:22:45.279 --> 01:22:50.680 too, Let's do that. Oh yeah, you don't want to run into 1162 01:22:50.720 --> 01:22:56.600 the Boston Nova Boys after five pm? Nova Boys? Oh my god, 1163 01:22:57.079 --> 01:23:00.520 I want affection. That is just like the songs from say A Saturn and 1164 01:23:00.600 --> 01:23:10.399 Dreams soundtrack. Could just get the one guy who goes Daytona put that in 1165 01:23:10.560 --> 01:23:14.520 here. This presumably free to play a game for like two dollars, Get 1166 01:23:14.560 --> 01:23:15.960 me the Sega sound pack. Yeah, I'll buy it. That's why you 1167 01:23:16.039 --> 01:23:18.560 make your money. Yeah. Oh, they should just make the Hornet one 1168 01:23:18.560 --> 01:23:23.239 of the cars in that Sega rally car exactly. But I could we get 1169 01:23:23.359 --> 01:23:28.439 like the Persona soundtracks. Why not? Oh you get Cousin Makiri. You're 1170 01:23:28.520 --> 01:23:35.720 driving playing the Tie. They do that kind of stuff in like the Rhythm 1171 01:23:35.800 --> 01:23:39.720 games that they produce, Like why not? It feels like such a monkey 1172 01:23:39.920 --> 01:23:43.319 bob right, like right, they have to be able to nail it. 1173 01:23:43.720 --> 01:23:45.760 They have to be right. I'm not going to be optimistic about it. 1174 01:23:45.920 --> 01:23:49.079 I am excited for this and I hope it works out. You know what 1175 01:23:49.159 --> 01:23:55.920 else I'm optimistic in now after reading Jake Decker's wonderful preview, I'm kind of 1176 01:23:56.000 --> 01:24:00.279 optimistic for Concord and Concord Open beta dates are confirmed for July this month. 1177 01:24:00.880 --> 01:24:05.359 If you've pre ordered the game on PC or PS five, you can participate 1178 01:24:05.399 --> 01:24:09.479 in the open or not open beta, but the pre order beta from July 1179 01:24:09.640 --> 01:24:14.399 twelfth to the fourteenth uh, and then an additional open beta for all players 1180 01:24:14.720 --> 01:24:17.960 from July eighteenth to the twenty first. The beta will feature all sixteen launch 1181 01:24:18.039 --> 01:24:23.039 characters and we'll dive into the game story. Let me tell you red Jake's 1182 01:24:23.079 --> 01:24:27.720 preview. Jake was pretty pretty surprised, pleasantly surprised by this. Well, 1183 01:24:27.760 --> 01:24:32.720 yeah, my tastes I've spoken to has just been like it's actually pretty good, 1184 01:24:33.159 --> 01:24:36.359 pretty good. I think the thing is is that like maybe the pe 1185 01:24:36.680 --> 01:24:40.199 thing, the thing that people are worried about is like the story stuff. 1186 01:24:41.039 --> 01:24:45.039 I don't I'm gonna say this, I don't think I cared. Yeah, 1187 01:24:45.720 --> 01:24:48.399 that's the problem, I guess. But like, yeah, that's a disconnect. 1188 01:24:48.439 --> 01:24:53.239 There is them showing this big, you know, cinemac Overwatch style trailer 1189 01:24:53.319 --> 01:24:57.399 and then that's just not really what you again gameplay wise. But that doesn't 1190 01:24:57.439 --> 01:25:00.079 mean that the gameplay is bad against like like the last topic a little bit. 1191 01:25:00.079 --> 01:25:02.640 It's more like the knee jerk reaction you get from that the disconnect. 1192 01:25:02.920 --> 01:25:05.279 I mean, that's the thing because like I played so much Overwatch, I 1193 01:25:05.279 --> 01:25:10.159 couldn't really tell you what happened in the law. I just knew like the 1194 01:25:10.399 --> 01:25:14.359 characters were fun and like Ash would be a certain kind of way, and 1195 01:25:14.560 --> 01:25:16.199 then Diva would be a certain kind of way. And I'm like, oh, 1196 01:25:16.239 --> 01:25:18.239 I know the Diva was a competitive gamer. That's all I know. 1197 01:25:18.319 --> 01:25:23.720 I don't understand how she got I guess the cringe e ish thing here is 1198 01:25:23.800 --> 01:25:27.439 like it seems like they're really like they're telling us you're gonna like these characters 1199 01:25:27.760 --> 01:25:30.840 because they're gonna remind you you like the characters that are like them from like 1200 01:25:30.920 --> 01:25:33.079 Overwatch Guys guests, So you're gonna like these And I'm like, don't tell 1201 01:25:33.159 --> 01:25:36.000 me I'm gonna like them. I'll decide if I like them, and then 1202 01:25:36.039 --> 01:25:40.840 maybe then you can make your cartoons and whatnot about them. But like, 1203 01:25:40.960 --> 01:25:43.279 yeah, like right now, you need to be selling me the game, 1204 01:25:43.840 --> 01:25:47.920 not like this multi media thing that you're trying to accomplish with it. I 1205 01:25:48.000 --> 01:25:58.000 am still more interested in Marvel Rivals than Concord same. Perhaps I'm also not 1206 01:25:58.479 --> 01:26:01.840 thrilled about this having like a sixty to seventy dollars price tag to get in 1207 01:26:02.439 --> 01:26:08.920 to the gates. It's forty, isn't it to the base. It's like 1208 01:26:09.279 --> 01:26:13.960 just like Overwatch one. I'm sick of who likes that because I vastly preferred 1209 01:26:14.000 --> 01:26:16.960 Overwatch ones model where I paid that price one time. I played so much 1210 01:26:17.000 --> 01:26:20.000 of that game. Yeah, I bought loop boxes if I wanted cosmetics, 1211 01:26:20.039 --> 01:26:25.199 and that was fine. It was way better than having to pay for characters 1212 01:26:25.319 --> 01:26:29.199 and season passes and whatnot. So, like, I think it might be 1213 01:26:29.319 --> 01:26:31.239 a problem for them because I don't think most people are like me and they're 1214 01:26:31.359 --> 01:26:34.560 going to really, you know, scruff up against the idea of paying forty 1215 01:26:34.600 --> 01:26:39.920 bucks. But to me, that's a plus. And sometimes the just real 1216 01:26:40.039 --> 01:26:44.399 quick sometimes when you get into stuff like Overwatch too wine to like put characters 1217 01:26:44.479 --> 01:26:46.840 behind a battle pass and stuff like that, even just the optics of that 1218 01:26:47.439 --> 01:26:51.479 was really bad for a lot of people like myself. How sweaty do you 1219 01:26:51.560 --> 01:26:59.039 think Conquered is going to be concord Conquered whatever? Like, are we getting 1220 01:26:59.119 --> 01:27:01.880 valiant levels? No? I don't know. It could be overwatched well, 1221 01:27:02.760 --> 01:27:08.199 Overwatch comp sweaty in its competitive mode maybe, But yeah, I'm much of 1222 01:27:08.640 --> 01:27:13.720 my most team Forultress too sweaty to be pessimistic. I don't know how good 1223 01:27:13.760 --> 01:27:16.800 this game is gonna do. So maybe it does get sweaty because just the 1224 01:27:16.880 --> 01:27:23.760 dedicated audience, But who knows. You know, a game that got surprisingly 1225 01:27:23.840 --> 01:27:27.079 pretty sweaty because of its very dedicated audience when it was picking up a lot 1226 01:27:27.119 --> 01:27:30.880 of heat. Was a split gate. Oh oh sure, yeah, I 1227 01:27:30.920 --> 01:27:33.920 could see the kind of being like a split gate. Maybe you know it 1228 01:27:34.079 --> 01:27:38.479 picks up the right audience, the right type of heat. Sure, but 1229 01:27:38.600 --> 01:27:41.359 that's a news to me. That's coming out for forty dollars, but you 1230 01:27:41.399 --> 01:27:45.079 know it's coming up for sixty dollars. He switch remaster of Donkey Kong Country 1231 01:27:45.159 --> 01:27:53.000 returns. He's finally back. I don't have any fondness for mister Kong and 1232 01:27:53.159 --> 01:27:58.000 his family. I don't know if this remastered necessarily warrens the sixty dollars. 1233 01:27:58.079 --> 01:28:00.600 When Greby and I talked about it last week, he was more so that, 1234 01:28:01.279 --> 01:28:05.479 Hey, Nintendo realizes there's a little bit more name recognition for mister Kong 1235 01:28:05.680 --> 01:28:10.520 than there is for Metroid. So let's charge more for what people know versus 1236 01:28:10.600 --> 01:28:14.279 what we just want people to get in the gate with. All Right, 1237 01:28:15.000 --> 01:28:15.880 me and Mike have been talking a lot, but I feel like this can 1238 01:28:16.000 --> 01:28:18.479 be I just said to bait here, let's go. I no, no, 1239 01:28:18.720 --> 01:28:21.960 I don't know if I really buy it. I feel like some I 1240 01:28:23.000 --> 01:28:30.119 feel like some the Metroid fans sometimes we're a little like self deprecating or self 1241 01:28:30.159 --> 01:28:32.800 hating is a bit much. But I mean it's like, you know, 1242 01:28:32.880 --> 01:28:35.600 we talked about like, oh, they don't they don't care about Metroid. 1243 01:28:35.800 --> 01:28:41.319 We've been getting a lot of Metroid games lately, there's been a lot of 1244 01:28:41.479 --> 01:28:45.880 Metroid representation. It's not like it's clearly something that does matter to them and 1245 01:28:45.960 --> 01:28:51.000 that they're investing in and they see value in, and there's certainly a relatively 1246 01:28:51.159 --> 01:28:57.840 mainstream component of Metroid. It look like Docy Kong Country is a Donka Country 1247 01:28:57.840 --> 01:29:00.079 game is going to sell more than a Metro game. It's not like the 1248 01:29:00.159 --> 01:29:03.800 Donkey Kong Country games are the ones selling, you know, the fifteen million 1249 01:29:03.960 --> 01:29:10.199 or U Donkey Kong Country. Tropical Freeze is not sold fifteen million copies. 1250 01:29:10.239 --> 01:29:13.319 It might have sold ten, which is kind of crazy. For well, 1251 01:29:13.359 --> 01:29:15.880 that's what I said, That's what That's what they're looking at when they do 1252 01:29:16.000 --> 01:29:19.000 these things is yeah, we ported a Donkey Kong game. It didn't sanely 1253 01:29:19.039 --> 01:29:21.680 well, right again, Like the issue is like, okay, Metroc Prime 1254 01:29:21.760 --> 01:29:26.039 one Remaster, which is really almost like a remake, how much they did 1255 01:29:26.119 --> 01:29:29.520 with that, Yeah, which is one as a base game is better than 1256 01:29:29.560 --> 01:29:32.279 two, so much more work put into it, right, And that's forty 1257 01:29:32.359 --> 01:29:36.000 dollars. And then this, which looks like a very bare bone support of 1258 01:29:36.119 --> 01:29:42.920 a wee game, is sixty dollars. So yeah, you desperately are trying 1259 01:29:43.000 --> 01:29:46.000 to figure out why this is more expensive than a Metroc Prime one remaster. 1260 01:29:46.319 --> 01:29:48.880 It's like and like, yeah, hey, maybe that's it. It's like, 1261 01:29:48.920 --> 01:29:51.520 oh, Docky Kong, well sell more. But like you know, 1262 01:29:51.600 --> 01:29:55.920 Luji's mentioned two HD is going to be sixty dollars. I know Luji's mentioned 1263 01:29:55.960 --> 01:29:59.520 three so well, but did like the Lugi's mentioned one remake so well? 1264 01:30:00.039 --> 01:30:03.279 Oh, and I imagine this will be closer to that in terms of performance. 1265 01:30:03.840 --> 01:30:06.880 So I don't know. I think sometimes we try to find logic and 1266 01:30:06.920 --> 01:30:11.760 the things Nintendo does, and that really just just necessarily isn't necessarily there. 1267 01:30:11.960 --> 01:30:15.760 That's our mistake, big dog, trying to find logic with Nintendo. And 1268 01:30:15.920 --> 01:30:19.079 then I'm on the opposite side of the fence here where I think we find 1269 01:30:19.159 --> 01:30:25.439 logic and Nintendo in the inverse direction that might is look at where I'm looking 1270 01:30:25.439 --> 01:30:29.800 at this, and I see, yeah, these like big Mario style stuff 1271 01:30:30.000 --> 01:30:32.840 is you know, sixty dollars, and then even like Mario versus Donkey Kong 1272 01:30:32.960 --> 01:30:36.600 remake of a GBA game being fifty, and then why is Metroid do only 1273 01:30:36.680 --> 01:30:42.520 forty? I think that's indicative of what Nintendo thinks of these properties, like 1274 01:30:42.640 --> 01:30:45.600 still to this day, because as I always try to remind people, Metroid 1275 01:30:45.920 --> 01:30:50.039 has never sold well. It has never done exceptionally well. Even Dread, 1276 01:30:50.439 --> 01:30:55.680 which did you know, pretty good for the series still was what it was. 1277 01:30:56.079 --> 01:30:59.720 Where to end? Three million is just under three million? Three million? 1278 01:30:59.800 --> 01:31:01.560 Ye know, like right, that is good, you know, But 1279 01:31:01.800 --> 01:31:08.239 that's the thing is I think the strategy here is Nintendo ses as Metro doesn't 1280 01:31:08.319 --> 01:31:11.840 sell, so let's play a budget price to try to tempt more people in 1281 01:31:11.920 --> 01:31:15.119 the door and just push more copies, push the IP a little bit more, 1282 01:31:15.359 --> 01:31:16.760 you know, Prime four rolls around. We can't put that for sixty 1283 01:31:16.800 --> 01:31:20.279 dollars and get more people buying it, whereas a Donkey Kong, they're like 1284 01:31:21.119 --> 01:31:25.199 everyone's buying Donkey Kong. Kids are buying it, parents are buying it, 1285 01:31:25.279 --> 01:31:28.000 you know, old school gamers are buying it. So we can price at 1286 01:31:28.039 --> 01:31:30.840 sixty because we know it'll sell No matter what, and Monkey's real hot. 1287 01:31:30.960 --> 01:31:33.760 Right now, we got the Rise of the Planet of the Apes. They're 1288 01:31:33.920 --> 01:31:38.760 in the balls again. Yeah, they've got ties again. A couple quick 1289 01:31:38.840 --> 01:31:41.560 stories before we wrap up. Take another quick brick and break and we'll be 1290 01:31:41.640 --> 01:31:45.760 back with emails. The Capcom Next show was yesterday, The Hot thirty minutes 1291 01:31:45.800 --> 01:31:51.119 of some news. Some of that note news being the Resident Evil seven director 1292 01:31:51.279 --> 01:31:57.439 Koshi Nakanishi will be directing the next RI game. The next RI game is 1293 01:31:57.520 --> 01:32:00.359 probably going to be Resident Evil nine. We've seen a lot of room ms 1294 01:32:00.920 --> 01:32:04.479 swirling around about RI nine being an open world game. I'm still intrigued by 1295 01:32:04.560 --> 01:32:10.600 that. But the thing that captured my attention from the Capcom show yesterday was 1296 01:32:11.199 --> 01:32:15.439 the Dead Rising Deluxe remaster coming this year. Gonna be using the R engine, 1297 01:32:16.119 --> 01:32:19.199 a lot of improvements, quality of life stuff like auto saving. Who 1298 01:32:19.279 --> 01:32:23.079 knew auto saving would be a quality of life things that I would sorely need 1299 01:32:23.359 --> 01:32:27.039 and adjusted you I, modernized controls, a bunch of more stuff. Like 1300 01:32:27.159 --> 01:32:30.880 I mentioned, The remaster will be using the ARE engine, and the deluxe 1301 01:32:30.000 --> 01:32:34.039 edition of the game will feature seventeen extra costumes for Frank and the thing that 1302 01:32:34.720 --> 01:32:39.000 makes me feel so much dread inside is that it's going to feel kind of 1303 01:32:39.119 --> 01:32:41.760 like a retro game in a way, not just because of when it came 1304 01:32:41.800 --> 01:32:44.399 out, but because of the setting. It taking place in a mall, 1305 01:32:44.880 --> 01:32:47.239 and a lot of malls across America just dying Cone.

First email this breaking news, 1319 01:33:59.479 --> 01:34:05.079 breaking e mail is that's the proper thing to say. Mike from Edmonton, 1320 01:34:05.119 --> 01:34:10.319 Alberta. Right, Mike, Hey, mad bombers. So the song 1321 01:34:10.560 --> 01:34:15.800 Espresso is a huge hit and I and what I suspect will be everyone's inescapable 1322 01:34:15.960 --> 01:34:18.439 song of the summer. Does this mean that this is the summer of coffee 1323 01:34:18.479 --> 01:34:23.520 girls and boys, and by association mean that this is the summer of coffee? 1324 01:34:23.600 --> 01:34:27.680 King jam I hope you all enjoy some Espresso Martinez and spiked ice coffees 1325 01:34:27.720 --> 01:34:31.000 this season. Mike from Edmonton, Alberta. I don't know this song and 1326 01:34:31.079 --> 01:34:40.039 I don't drink coffee. You don't know, singer. It's very okay. 1327 01:34:41.399 --> 01:34:44.880 I listened to it for the first time last night and she's not far off 1328 01:34:44.920 --> 01:34:53.000 from what she's saying, right, Yeah, it's very okay. Me switch 1329 01:34:53.039 --> 01:35:00.239 it up like Nintendo is a line? Oh? I like? So is 1330 01:35:00.279 --> 01:35:03.520 it like that that that guy who like did the sequel to We Didn't Start 1331 01:35:03.520 --> 01:35:11.439 the Fire and he rhymed the words metroid with George Floyd wasn't wait guy who 1332 01:35:12.079 --> 01:35:19.399 was christ it was the sequel to Man on the We didn't start the not 1333 01:35:19.560 --> 01:35:27.000 knowing that was follow Boy of all things. It's just boys, big smash, 1334 01:35:27.399 --> 01:35:30.279 the sequel to that. It's that's why it's funny is because it was 1335 01:35:30.439 --> 01:35:35.000 follow Boy bad most people don't think of and it was a bad version it 1336 01:35:35.760 --> 01:35:40.600 is. It is extra funny that it was funny. So it was such 1337 01:35:40.680 --> 01:35:45.159 a culture shock to me though, because here when that song dropped, everyone 1338 01:35:45.279 --> 01:35:48.000 had like the what I think is the right feeling of like, maybe we 1339 01:35:48.039 --> 01:35:53.159 shouldn't have done this. Also, maybe we shouldn't have Ryan George Floyd with 1340 01:35:53.279 --> 01:35:59.640 Metroid? What about rhyming Lebanon with Q and on? I'm looking at the 1341 01:35:59.720 --> 01:36:03.279 lyric right now. Wait. Look, I like Fallout Boy, and I 1342 01:36:03.319 --> 01:36:06.960 think that their most recent album is actually their best, So much for stardos. 1343 01:36:08.199 --> 01:36:13.199 I also know that I forget who does? I think someone actually told 1344 01:36:13.199 --> 01:36:15.960 me Pete once does the lyrics? They can't write lyrics for shit, so 1345 01:36:16.119 --> 01:36:20.560 why did they do? We didn't start the fire, Great Pacific garbage Patch, 1346 01:36:20.680 --> 01:36:26.159 Tom DeLong and Aliens, Mars Rover Avatar, self driving electric cars, 1347 01:36:26.680 --> 01:36:30.560 SSRIs Prince and the Queen die Will Trade, second Plane? What else do 1348 01:36:30.720 --> 01:36:38.840 I have to say, Look, wait, Bakalar already brought this up forever 1349 01:36:38.880 --> 01:36:42.960 ago when this first came out. But the biggest crime with that song is 1350 01:36:43.000 --> 01:36:46.560 that they didn't go in order. Yeah, it's not chronological. That's the 1351 01:36:46.600 --> 01:36:53.079 biggest problem obviously, the hard shot. That's the point, Like I literally 1352 01:36:53.479 --> 01:36:58.560 in my uap Us history class, that's how we like memorized modern history. 1353 01:36:58.960 --> 01:37:00.159 Well, because we didn't start the fire, that was the point of the 1354 01:37:00.279 --> 01:37:09.760 song. Why Michael Jackson dies, Nuclear accident, Fukushima, Japan, Crime 1355 01:37:09.920 --> 01:37:14.039 in Peninsula, Cambridge Analytica, Kim jong Un, Robert Downey, junr. 1356 01:37:14.159 --> 01:37:21.600 Iron Man doesn't even know where the beat goes in there. He wants he 1357 01:37:21.720 --> 01:37:30.760 should. I think he's got the uniformers in the breaks you start the fire? 1358 01:37:30.880 --> 01:37:32.520 When started the fire? Did kind of do that? It's sort of 1359 01:37:32.600 --> 01:37:35.960 like trails off and doesn't necessarily follow the beat. So that's not the kind 1360 01:37:36.000 --> 01:37:40.079 of excusable. There's one line I'm not allowed to mention in the original because 1361 01:37:40.119 --> 01:37:43.800 if I don't want to disappoint Tam Metroid's in it. Yeah, best one 1362 01:37:43.840 --> 01:37:50.199 who writes with George Floyd. Oh sorry, sorry you got here. See 1363 01:37:50.479 --> 01:37:57.840 Metroid so famous and it's in this song telling me famous with these forty year 1364 01:37:57.880 --> 01:38:01.600 old dudes acting like they're teenagers. Yes, really, it's really named after 1365 01:38:02.840 --> 01:38:08.760 Radioactive Man's sidekick from the Simpsons. That's actually where they cool my knowledge. 1366 01:38:08.840 --> 01:38:13.520 Yeah, I'm going to say Espresso is not the song of the summer. 1367 01:38:15.600 --> 01:38:18.279 What the original email was? I do cardoloc please please please? Because of 1368 01:38:18.279 --> 01:38:21.560 how she says, mother Fooker. Oh, I get a read of that. 1369 01:38:24.399 --> 01:38:30.159 Oh what is it? Mother? What is it? The wait? 1370 01:38:30.720 --> 01:38:35.119 Please please lyrics? I've gotta look it up. I gotta look it up. 1371 01:38:35.760 --> 01:38:39.000 I believe. I believe in a thing called love. I don't want 1372 01:38:39.000 --> 01:38:44.800 to get like heartbreak is one thing, my egos another. I beg you 1373 01:38:45.039 --> 01:38:53.159 don't embarrass me, mother Booker? Like that fantastic? Please put that on 1374 01:38:53.279 --> 01:39:00.159 your reel. I'm gonna say early here this this is my my uh uh 1375 01:39:00.720 --> 01:39:03.119 my other pick for potential song of the summer. We're in July. That 1376 01:39:03.159 --> 01:39:08.760 album came out last week. It's taken over the TikTok algorithms. As we 1377 01:39:08.920 --> 01:39:14.640 speak, Uh mamushi by Meghan the Stallion. Oh, I haven't heard it, 1378 01:39:15.039 --> 01:39:19.520 but I do love me. Megan Stallion, m A M you h 1379 01:39:21.239 --> 01:39:27.239 one of them. Okay, uh, it's the hook goes very hard. 1380 01:39:27.319 --> 01:39:30.399 It reminds me of doing duo lingo because they have a Japanese rapper rapping, 1381 01:39:30.479 --> 01:39:32.520 and then Meghan the Stallion would be like, all right, I'm just gonna 1382 01:39:32.520 --> 01:39:38.159 repeat what you say. Is it good or is it like when Avril Levine 1383 01:39:38.239 --> 01:39:45.439 tried to be Japanese? It is definitely not. When that song was that 1384 01:39:45.760 --> 01:39:53.079 was an affront of man that didn't because she was married. No, she 1385 01:39:53.199 --> 01:39:57.239 was married to the guy from Nickelback at the time. Didn't he write that 1386 01:39:57.399 --> 01:40:02.119 with her? I think so? Nicolback's Davis Chad Kroeger. Yes, yes 1387 01:40:02.359 --> 01:40:05.560 it is, and he married Avril Levine. And as far as I can 1388 01:40:05.640 --> 01:40:09.680 tell, the only reason they were married, Mike is because they're both Canadian. 1389 01:40:09.920 --> 01:40:13.720 Yeah, any other reason? Oh, you know, I guess they 1390 01:40:13.720 --> 01:40:17.399 have a lot of comment speaking about music. Next email comes from Joe and 1391 01:40:17.479 --> 01:40:21.640 Michigan. Subject reads, can we get some better music for these game announcement 1392 01:40:21.680 --> 01:40:25.560 shows? And I agree, yeah, and that marketing, But are you 1393 01:40:25.560 --> 01:40:28.760 talking about nine inch Nails? Is in the Game Awards pretty much every year 1394 01:40:29.039 --> 01:40:34.439 we think we get it, Lucy got them. I gotta imagine dragons were 1395 01:40:34.520 --> 01:40:41.680 set. Yeah, Jene Parks, imagine dragons. H Mat Boody got married 1396 01:40:41.720 --> 01:40:45.119 to the song is New Booty. I'm a little disappointed every time he's out 1397 01:40:45.159 --> 01:40:48.239 on stage and that song isn't playing. Parentheses fifty to fifty odds gen needing 1398 01:40:48.279 --> 01:40:51.520 to explain what song this is to Everyone didn't back Alarund Grubbs say they'd never 1399 01:40:53.000 --> 01:40:56.680 heard the song. Nok if you buck a while back. Cultural differences are 1400 01:40:56.800 --> 01:41:00.760 wild. I've either of these, Lucy, how are we friends? And 1401 01:41:00.840 --> 01:41:10.720 you haven't heard knock? If you bunk? If you okay, don't read 1402 01:41:11.600 --> 01:41:15.920 read the lyrics not oh no no, yeah, I'm not going to read 1403 01:41:15.960 --> 01:41:23.359 those about Yeah, have either of you heard of miss New Booty? Oh 1404 01:41:23.680 --> 01:41:28.199 my god, I read the emails a little bit ahead of time. I 1405 01:41:28.279 --> 01:41:30.800 was like, I didn't know this by name. But then when I looked 1406 01:41:30.840 --> 01:41:31.600 at up the song, I was like, Oh, it's the one that 1407 01:41:31.640 --> 01:41:34.680 goes booty boot rocking everywhere. Yeah, I know right, No, I 1408 01:41:34.800 --> 01:41:39.840 do that because I do know that, because I sing that to my cats 1409 01:41:39.920 --> 01:41:45.600 whenever I give them a little like we know that part? Yeah, that 1410 01:41:45.960 --> 01:41:51.359 isn't that just the thing of rocket power that Okay, don't they'll be singing 1411 01:41:51.439 --> 01:41:56.920 that rocket power. Maybe they're they're they're kind of edgy kids, right the 1412 01:41:57.079 --> 01:42:00.680 state board. Are they they skateboard? Yeah, that's you know, well 1413 01:42:00.720 --> 01:42:06.199 they weren't safety gear a lot, so maybe they're not too safety is what 1414 01:42:06.359 --> 01:42:10.479 music would you like to hear at these announcement shows? Much love Joe and 1415 01:42:10.520 --> 01:42:18.319 Michigan, the Offspring, Sure, maybe a game music? You know what? 1416 01:42:18.600 --> 01:42:25.159 Okay, sorry, I did something positive within me. I would love 1417 01:42:25.199 --> 01:42:30.319 to hear like a song that you know, gets people hype. If they 1418 01:42:31.680 --> 01:42:35.199 they can get interesting with these things is my big issue. Like when they 1419 01:42:35.279 --> 01:42:40.520 had Mick Gordon playing, that was a good call because yeah, that's video 1420 01:42:40.600 --> 01:42:44.000 game music that also just kind of sounds like mainstream music, so that works 1421 01:42:44.199 --> 01:42:49.439 as a live performance. They could also do things like if Anyone's, if 1422 01:42:49.479 --> 01:42:55.000 Anyone's never listened to it. The EVO soundtracks that they do each year now 1423 01:42:55.119 --> 01:43:02.239 are just like lyrical rap albums, whether justin nailed with other genres thrown in 1424 01:43:02.359 --> 01:43:05.680 stuff, but like getting stuff like that in there that is actually like you 1425 01:43:05.760 --> 01:43:10.439 know, omage's to gaming music and stuff. I mean genuinely years ago when 1426 01:43:10.479 --> 01:43:15.680 they did the The Red Dead music was game but are we talking about like 1427 01:43:15.800 --> 01:43:21.520 musical performances. Are we talking about like just songs in trailers? Because both? 1428 01:43:21.720 --> 01:43:24.880 Why not both? A little bit of both? Yeah, they say 1429 01:43:24.880 --> 01:43:28.880 announcement shows. I assumed that they were talking about something like the game wards, 1430 01:43:28.920 --> 01:43:30.479 but yeah, we're talking just like it's like, what's what what? 1431 01:43:30.760 --> 01:43:34.640 What are the executives like wrestling songs to walk out into the ring? You 1432 01:43:34.760 --> 01:43:39.319 know? I feel like that's what this question is actually asking. It's just 1433 01:43:39.439 --> 01:43:42.279 all come out to Shane mcmahonson, money, money, money, money, 1434 01:43:42.359 --> 01:43:47.439 money, money, thoughts. Does Phil Spencer listened to Dad Rock? Yeah, 1435 01:43:47.800 --> 01:43:50.760 he's coming out to some hollow. I'm probably gonna see him at the 1436 01:43:50.840 --> 01:43:57.000 Beach Blays concert. He's gonna be there. The thing is is that I 1437 01:43:57.159 --> 01:44:00.920 would walk out the whole notes I will. I wouldn't. I would walk 1438 01:44:00.920 --> 01:44:04.119 out to any excess. I'd walk out to come. I really like every 1439 01:44:04.159 --> 01:44:09.439 time they do like the actual like live songs from video games, except when 1440 01:44:09.479 --> 01:44:13.319 it's an ad for a game that isn't out yet, like like last year 1441 01:44:13.319 --> 01:44:15.239 they did help Blake Too. It was just clearly like an ad. I'm 1442 01:44:15.239 --> 01:44:16.880 like, no, like, you know, this supposed to be the I 1443 01:44:16.960 --> 01:44:20.359 get that there's a lot of commercials here, but let them actually pay for 1444 01:44:20.680 --> 01:44:24.920 a commercial or trailer for help. But like the musical thing should be about 1445 01:44:25.000 --> 01:44:28.239 the games that came out this year. Only two things was fantastic. The 1446 01:44:28.399 --> 01:44:30.159 montage that they do for the Game of the Year winners is always great. 1447 01:44:30.640 --> 01:44:33.439 But like, yeah, this is this is why we're going to promote hell 1448 01:44:33.520 --> 01:44:38.720 Blake to NAW. I was gonna say not every not every game is going 1449 01:44:38.760 --> 01:44:43.119 to have an elaborate musical number, like allen Wick, did you see Uh? 1450 01:44:43.359 --> 01:44:45.039 I haven't seen the GDQ thing yet, but I did see this morning. 1451 01:44:45.960 --> 01:44:48.960 Yeah, games that quicks happening and they were doing it down wait two 1452 01:44:48.960 --> 01:44:51.560 speed running like during that section, like they all just got up and did 1453 01:44:51.640 --> 01:44:57.720 the dance. It was great. Yeah, it's cute all. Next email 1454 01:44:58.039 --> 01:45:01.800 comes from Rob from the Bay Area subro Hi Bombers. So I listened to 1455 01:45:02.079 --> 01:45:06.680 a podcast where audience members bring photoshop posters that feature their name worked into a 1456 01:45:06.760 --> 01:45:12.159 movie title to be the Pods Live Show Live to the Pods Live Shows for 1457 01:45:12.239 --> 01:45:15.880 a chance to win prizes. I've also pondered what mine should be, but 1458 01:45:15.960 --> 01:45:20.039 I never wanted to wanted the gimme answer of the Italian Rob not even sure 1459 01:45:20.079 --> 01:45:25.119 what to do with the full form, Robert, what would be associated movie 1460 01:45:25.199 --> 01:45:29.239 titles or other forms of media?

We've had a lot of emails the past couple of weeks 1506 01:49:50.319 --> 01:49:59.840 about nosebleeds. I wonder why varying varieties. First email comes from Corey from 1507 01:50:00.239 --> 01:50:05.399 Abbotsford. We assume BC's British Columbia. I don't know that for sure, 1508 01:50:05.680 --> 01:50:09.239 but anyway, they write in I've never had a horny nose bleed, but 1509 01:50:09.279 --> 01:50:13.079 I did have an angry nose bleed. It was twenty eleven and I'm a 1510 01:50:13.159 --> 01:50:15.520 Vancouver Canucks fan. I was writing a house with some friends. This was 1511 01:50:15.600 --> 01:50:19.359 during their playoff run and the internet cut out for three days. The telecom 1512 01:50:19.520 --> 01:50:25.439 company tell Us kept not sending someone despite each of us taking time off from 1513 01:50:25.479 --> 01:50:28.760 school and work. We still could watch the game because the CBC is free 1514 01:50:28.840 --> 01:50:31.039 and works over cable, but we were huddled in the only room that had 1515 01:50:31.159 --> 01:50:35.279 access. I call GET a very nice representative, but my extreme anger at 1516 01:50:35.279 --> 01:50:40.279 the situation causes my nose to gush blood. On the call, I insist, 1517 01:50:40.600 --> 01:50:43.880 She puts, you made me so angry my nose is bleeding onto my 1518 01:50:44.000 --> 01:50:46.960 file. In conclusion, everything ended up fine and the Canucks won the Stanley 1519 01:50:47.000 --> 01:50:51.119 Cup. Asterisk I was at Game seven and was just outside when I felt 1520 01:50:51.199 --> 01:50:56.159 the first car explode. Rushed onto the local train with my father and headed 1521 01:50:56.199 --> 01:50:59.159 back to town. It wasn't until a while later I learned what happened. 1522 01:50:59.680 --> 01:51:02.520 Second note, fu tell us I refuse to deal with them every time I 1523 01:51:02.640 --> 01:51:06.359 give the chance to I give them a chance to fuck it up. Cheers 1524 01:51:06.479 --> 01:51:12.359 Court from Abtsford, British Columbia. What was that about the exploding car? 1525 01:51:13.359 --> 01:51:16.760 Was weird going out there in Canada? I don't remember this. I don't 1526 01:51:16.800 --> 01:51:20.319 remember the parts. Was this like a riot or was this a you know, 1527 01:51:20.760 --> 01:51:26.880 an incident like I would assume so I was like, while, so, 1528 01:51:27.239 --> 01:51:30.760 yeah, I guess so, yeah, I'm sure Backlar would know. 1529 01:51:30.920 --> 01:51:35.640 Yeah, back rub might know. Yeah. I don't know. I've always 1530 01:51:35.640 --> 01:51:40.159 been so. I was in l a one time when the Lakers won some 1531 01:51:40.319 --> 01:51:43.000 championship and I was that was the first time I was exposed to a city 1532 01:51:43.359 --> 01:51:45.920 riding because they won. I was like, what are you all doing? 1533 01:51:45.079 --> 01:51:48.560 You did it? Why aren't you from Cleveland? I was like, you 1534 01:51:48.600 --> 01:51:53.560 know how happy we'd be if we want What are you doing here? This 1535 01:51:53.680 --> 01:51:57.079 is a really awful one from the UK. I'm from Newcastle and there was 1536 01:51:57.119 --> 01:52:00.279 one time where there was like this riot after a football game. The guy 1537 01:52:00.359 --> 01:52:06.479 punched a horse. Yeah all right, but like the picture is something like 1538 01:52:06.560 --> 01:52:15.159 a Renaissance painting. You just like the guy one like the punching the kangaroo. 1539 01:52:15.920 --> 01:52:17.840 I mean, a kangaroo would fuck you up. Well that's the point. 1540 01:52:17.880 --> 01:52:19.920 That's why I was bold of him to do it, to give him 1541 01:52:20.159 --> 01:52:25.840 get the kangaroo off his dog. Oh that's right, ko coming yeah, 1542 01:52:26.640 --> 01:52:30.520 just like what he actually did. It Is it a lucy? Is it 1543 01:52:30.600 --> 01:52:34.560 a dude with uh? Here no, let me, I'll grab it. 1544 01:52:34.960 --> 01:52:41.279 This is a different man punching a horse, maybe man sean. If you 1545 01:52:41.319 --> 01:52:45.239 had to punch an animal, which one would it be? Oh golly, 1546 01:52:45.359 --> 01:52:53.239 g my, I have the best question. They don't. They would look 1547 01:52:53.239 --> 01:52:56.239 like they feel anything, and they're jerks. I don't like there. You 1548 01:52:56.319 --> 01:53:00.560 know, those guys are peaceful, right spposed to like palm a bear in 1549 01:53:00.600 --> 01:53:11.000 the nose or something someone someone, you know. So it painted Renaissance painting. 1550 01:53:11.039 --> 01:53:13.960 What's that picture? That's what I just dropped in the police horse that 1551 01:53:14.079 --> 01:53:17.479 was punched, But basically it was exact. It was exact pose that guy 1552 01:53:17.600 --> 01:53:24.159 going oh wow, okay, I mean, is this is this horse a 1553 01:53:24.239 --> 01:53:29.760 cop? That is a cop horse? Yes? Okay, control horse. 1554 01:53:30.000 --> 01:53:33.800 So the horses don't know what they're doing, do they not? I don't 1555 01:53:33.840 --> 01:53:38.960 know. We're not sure the smart. None of us have been inside the 1556 01:53:39.039 --> 01:53:42.279 mind of a horse. We don't know what they're really thinking. Of course, 1557 01:53:42.439 --> 01:53:45.920 of course, mister ed the talking horse, we know what he was 1558 01:53:45.000 --> 01:53:55.239 thinking. He told us all horse cops are best abuse. Of course, 1559 01:53:55.319 --> 01:54:00.600 of course, continuing the emails, Oh yeah about and anyways, never been 1560 01:54:00.640 --> 01:54:03.560 so angry that my nose bleeded, thank you email. I've never been so 1561 01:54:03.680 --> 01:54:06.760 angry that my nose blood. No, never had a nose bleed at all, 1562 01:54:08.640 --> 01:54:13.039 man, I don't. Yeah, I get angry sometimes. It's weird 1563 01:54:13.039 --> 01:54:15.640 being insidious. So even just when I'm in a grocery store. Every time 1564 01:54:15.680 --> 01:54:17.439 I'm in a grocery store, I feel like I encounter one person who is 1565 01:54:17.560 --> 01:54:20.840 more angry in that moment I cross paths with them than I have been in 1566 01:54:20.960 --> 01:54:24.840 like five years. I'm gonna get what's wrong with you? They're always like 1567 01:54:24.880 --> 01:54:29.880 on a phone screaming at somebody at the grocery store. Calm down. Yeah, 1568 01:54:29.920 --> 01:54:32.039 I worked for a long time at the grocery stores. Always feel bad 1569 01:54:32.079 --> 01:54:35.119 for the employees who have to like, in some way deal with that person 1570 01:54:35.279 --> 01:54:39.199 in the store. It's always the nightmare for some reason. That's where that's 1571 01:54:39.279 --> 01:54:42.800 the place everyone gets really mad. Is the grocery store. That's where they 1572 01:54:43.199 --> 01:54:45.439 finally like I've had it, and they're like, whoever they're calling or they're 1573 01:54:45.479 --> 01:54:49.399 with, they're gonna hear about it. I think it's because they're the kind 1574 01:54:49.439 --> 01:54:54.560 of person who is only either at work or home. That's like the one 1575 01:54:54.720 --> 01:54:57.560 place in their life where they get away from either, and so yeah, 1576 01:54:57.560 --> 01:55:01.119 that's where they explode. It's always been just like trying to get some fucking 1577 01:55:01.199 --> 01:55:09.119 oreos or love. It's fun. Yeah, it's always something new to fine, 1578 01:55:09.199 --> 01:55:11.840 right, you're very familiar with it. Like, what's on this side? 1579 01:55:12.079 --> 01:55:15.239 Like a condensed soup? Huh? What's going on in the condensed super 1580 01:55:15.439 --> 01:55:18.600 We have buffalo chicken soup. Now new developments. Everybody, stop the presses. 1581 01:55:18.680 --> 01:55:21.399 What's that tastes like? Probably bad? I'm gonna try it though it's 1582 01:55:21.399 --> 01:55:27.279 eighty nine cents. Thank you, Mike for a peek inside to your brain. 1583 01:55:29.199 --> 01:55:33.119 Uh. Next email about nosebleeds comes from Gunner from Missouri. Hey Duders, 1584 01:55:33.520 --> 01:55:38.279 with the discussion of the anime horny Nosebleed coming up. Last time, 1585 01:55:38.479 --> 01:55:42.359 I thought I could chime in and remind everyone of that time in Dragonball where 1586 01:55:42.399 --> 01:55:45.600 Yamsha had to fight an invisible guy and was losing until they got Bolma to 1587 01:55:45.640 --> 01:55:49.399 flash Master Roschi and shoot blood over the dude so Yamcha could see him. 1588 01:55:49.840 --> 01:55:55.560 Also, we remember, in no particular order, the super smelly guy krill 1589 01:55:55.600 --> 01:55:58.720 And had to fight and almost lost to until he was reminded he didn't have 1590 01:55:58.800 --> 01:56:02.279 a nose. Krilling. Oh yeah, that's just eating chaut Su by asking 1591 01:56:02.359 --> 01:56:06.079 him a math problem which chaut Su needed to count on his fingers to answer 1592 01:56:06.359 --> 01:56:11.159 and therefore stop his technique, losing the fight in the process. In three, 1593 01:56:11.479 --> 01:56:15.359 an actual vampire who's defeated by a shoot Christian Cross brandished at him. 1594 01:56:16.520 --> 01:56:19.920 In conclusion, dragon Ball is wild and if you like the franchise, it's 1595 01:56:19.920 --> 01:56:24.800 a hoot, and they should probably put Jackie Chun in Sparking zero. Thanks 1596 01:56:25.319 --> 01:56:29.039 Gunnar from Missouri Beautiful. Yes, yeah, man, dragon Ball is just 1597 01:56:29.119 --> 01:56:31.439 a very different vibe from dragon Ball Z. Huh, very different. Have 1598 01:56:31.520 --> 01:56:35.439 you ever seen dragon Ball Mike? Yes? Ok, yes, actually yeah, 1599 01:56:35.479 --> 01:56:39.720 I actually saw Dragon Ball like I was in like Canada as a kid, 1600 01:56:39.800 --> 01:56:43.640 and I sold Dragon Ball on just their TV, their like sky TV, 1601 01:56:44.159 --> 01:56:46.359 way like this is before Tunama even was showing Dragon Ball Z. And 1602 01:56:46.520 --> 01:56:51.680 I just remember it because it was the episode where they are peel Off tries 1603 01:56:51.720 --> 01:56:55.439 to summon dragon Balls and Oolong wishes for pandies, and I was just like, 1604 01:56:55.520 --> 01:56:58.279 this is a cartoon show. Am I allowed to watch that? Goku 1605 01:56:58.439 --> 01:57:00.560 was like asked naked because he turned into a and he like found his tail. 1606 01:57:00.680 --> 01:57:04.720 A lot of weird stuff going on, and it left the like an 1607 01:57:04.760 --> 01:57:09.000 impact on me. Then years later when watch your dragon Ball Z and learning 1608 01:57:09.039 --> 01:57:12.039 there was a dragon Balls, like, oh ship that fucked up show, 1609 01:57:12.359 --> 01:57:14.800 okay, And then also like you're a kid, you like dragon Ball Z. 1610 01:57:15.119 --> 01:57:16.560 Like I'm gonna read the manga. I'm going to start a one of 1611 01:57:16.680 --> 01:57:25.319 dragon Ball and it's just immediately like you know some like uh you know the 1612 01:57:25.399 --> 01:57:28.680 butts and the stuff. Yeah, you know what it is, Like, 1613 01:57:29.439 --> 01:57:32.680 it's such a gap in my knowledge dragon Ball and dragon Ball Z. I 1614 01:57:32.760 --> 01:57:36.039 wish I wish I had the time like one piece too. I just feel 1615 01:57:36.079 --> 01:57:41.880 like I've missed. I'm never much funny. I'm never going to get on 1616 01:57:41.960 --> 01:57:45.600 the ball before I think I've I've just decided I didn't mean to do that. 1617 01:57:45.760 --> 01:57:50.479 But maybe those are azero interest. Those are so much worse than dragon 1618 01:57:50.520 --> 01:57:54.840 Ball, not non quality, but in terms of like being long running, 1619 01:57:54.960 --> 01:57:59.560 like One Piece and Naruto and all that stuff is has been going so freaking 1620 01:57:59.640 --> 01:58:03.159 long where it's dragon Ball especially like if you watch Kai for Z and stuff, 1621 01:58:03.199 --> 01:58:06.560 it's manageable. It's a long show, but I mean it's accessible. 1622 01:58:06.640 --> 01:58:11.119 At least when I was a fourteen year old boy, there was nothing better 1623 01:58:11.239 --> 01:58:14.960 than Dragon Ball Z, Like and you know there's something about that that time 1624 01:58:15.000 --> 01:58:16.319 of your life for that just hits for some reason. Yeah, and that 1625 01:58:16.520 --> 01:58:20.000 kind of stays with you for some bizarre reason. That's why I was always 1626 01:58:20.119 --> 01:58:25.720 around dragon Ball growing up, because of the neighborhood I grew up, and 1627 01:58:25.800 --> 01:58:29.079 you know, people talked about this a lot when a Curatriyama passed away, 1628 01:58:29.119 --> 01:58:32.720 but it did have like a profound impact on like Black communities and Hispan communities 1629 01:58:32.800 --> 01:58:36.880 and stuff. And so I grew up around friends were super into dragon Ball. 1630 01:58:38.199 --> 01:58:41.640 But we didn't have cable growing up, so I and for you know, 1631 01:58:41.800 --> 01:58:45.880 unfortunately that was always on like Cartoon Network and stuff growing up, so 1632 01:58:45.960 --> 01:58:47.960 I kind of just never got see it. A little bit later, a 1633 01:58:48.039 --> 01:58:54.640 little bit later it was on like the CW picked ups. I got to 1634 01:58:54.680 --> 01:58:58.159 watch it on Saturday mornings a little bit when I was like a teenager. 1635 01:58:58.359 --> 01:59:01.479 But that's that was about it. But I remember getting the the VHS box 1636 01:59:01.560 --> 01:59:08.520 sets from from Suncoast Video. Those were great because like they made like the 1637 01:59:08.640 --> 01:59:11.920 picture right and it was fun because like the sagas kept getting bigger, so 1638 01:59:12.119 --> 01:59:15.800 like the freaking like Sousaga one was like you know those t VHS tapes. 1639 01:59:15.239 --> 01:59:16.800 I was like, oh, I was like, oh, me and my 1640 01:59:16.880 --> 01:59:19.479 brother just like going through them. I remember there's a summer we did that 1641 01:59:19.600 --> 01:59:23.680 and our friends got mad at us, like come outside of play. We're 1642 01:59:23.720 --> 01:59:27.720 like no, so just absorbed eighteen. He's perfect. So now what are 1643 01:59:27.760 --> 01:59:32.520 they gonna do? It is? I do appreciate how dumb dragon Ball gets 1644 01:59:32.560 --> 01:59:35.439 and they just lean into it. Oh there's the whimsy of the original or 1645 01:59:35.640 --> 01:59:39.840 like the dumb fights of Z and Super. And it's funny because like I 1646 01:59:39.880 --> 01:59:42.079 don't I'm a wat dragon Ball Super, but I just kind of see like, 1647 01:59:42.119 --> 01:59:44.600 oh, there's like four new Super sedies and I'm like roll my eyes 1648 01:59:44.640 --> 01:59:46.199 at it, like it's like it's so dumb, as if Dragon Ball Z 1649 01:59:46.359 --> 01:59:50.439 wasn't also instantly dumb. But you know, I peek my head in now 1650 01:59:50.520 --> 01:59:55.279 because I do have access to YouTube TV and so I you know, I 1651 01:59:55.359 --> 01:59:57.720 turned on two Nami here and there, and when they have dragon Ball Supron, 1652 01:59:57.800 --> 02:00:00.800 I'm like, it's just dragon Ball Z again and and I'm okay with 1653 02:00:00.920 --> 02:00:05.760 that somehow in another tournament huh yeah, why not? I like, it's 1654 02:00:05.840 --> 02:00:09.239 kind of that's kind of the best when they do the turn. Yeah, 1655 02:00:09.239 --> 02:00:12.520 that's fine, just fine. The fact that they turned the South Saga into 1656 02:00:12.600 --> 02:00:15.439 a tournament thing like, that's great. That is still that. Don't think 1657 02:00:15.479 --> 02:00:16.880 too hard about just enjoying the fights. Well, we should have a tournament 1658 02:00:17.000 --> 02:00:27.520 arc I mean the Neon White tournament. Yeah, and I wasn't there. 1659 02:00:28.159 --> 02:00:30.760 You didn't exist yet? Did you exist yet? But I was waiting. 1660 02:00:30.079 --> 02:00:33.560 I did, but like I wasn't invited yet and I was way better everyone, 1661 02:00:33.600 --> 02:00:38.880 And you know, I was so good that it's somehow, why are 1662 02:00:38.960 --> 02:00:43.600 you trying to be smirch Alex Bonyello's name as the champion. I don't think 1663 02:00:43.640 --> 02:00:46.239 Alex ban Yellow got into the top one hundred all time leaderboard in Neon White, 1664 02:00:46.279 --> 02:00:54.119 but he could have. He could try awards and being in like the 1665 02:00:54.239 --> 02:00:58.880 descendants. Oh, I'm I'm you know that when I go home and see 1666 02:00:58.920 --> 02:01:01.199 my nieces, I'm going to be like, I know him, you make 1667 02:01:01.319 --> 02:01:05.039 me watch another Descendants movie. And I've been made to watch Descendants movie guys, 1668 02:01:05.079 --> 02:01:09.960 and let me tell you, hey, they are like there were Journey, 1669 02:01:10.279 --> 02:01:12.960 but like they capture the same amount of I think, is it the 1670 02:01:12.960 --> 02:01:15.960 same guy does High School Musical because it definitely captures that vibe Kenny or Tega 1671 02:01:16.039 --> 02:01:23.840 Baby I I unapologetically like really enjoyed it. So I was just like, 1672 02:01:24.159 --> 02:01:28.039 they're gonna maybe watch more of them. I made them watch High School Musical 1673 02:01:28.880 --> 02:01:30.439 and but I'm gonna be like, I know that guy. I'm not allowed 1674 02:01:30.479 --> 02:01:36.439 to participate in the conversation. You know a d com boy, excuse me? 1675 02:01:38.640 --> 02:01:44.920 Disney Channel original movie was is? I definitely thought I meant Disney like 1676 02:01:45.439 --> 02:01:48.439 rom Com but Disney. I didn't have the Disney Channel like my friend Beth 1677 02:01:48.520 --> 02:01:51.199 did, so I would go around to her house and we would watch High 1678 02:01:51.239 --> 02:01:55.479 School Musical was always on. We went to the cinema to se High schoo 1679 02:01:55.520 --> 02:02:00.279 Musical three and that was actually released in theaters. Yeah yeah, and we 1680 02:02:00.359 --> 02:02:08.000 saw it. We want to a Baby b. We also watched Camp Rock 1681 02:02:10.000 --> 02:02:18.319 okay whatever, and uh, I also enjoy the Descendants movies. You know 1682 02:02:18.520 --> 02:02:25.760 especially hearing that they're continuing the canon of the Filipino Prince and Brandy as a 1683 02:02:26.039 --> 02:02:30.159 Cinderella. I can get down with that. Hell yeah, let's let's watch 1684 02:02:30.199 --> 02:02:33.479 some d COM's and drink some forties. Huh, let's do that. I 1685 02:02:33.600 --> 02:02:39.840 still really want to like do film in forties with the High School Musical trilogy. 1686 02:02:40.920 --> 02:02:44.119 I rewatched Tyser Musical one last time I was back in the UK, 1687 02:02:44.359 --> 02:02:51.800 and there's one scene in particular where sharpe Gabriella is singing in the bathroom and 1688 02:02:51.800 --> 02:02:59.600 the women's bathroom, and then Sharpey goes in, Gabriella hides and then like 1689 02:03:00.119 --> 02:03:04.600 just like oh can't find her, storms out, and then Gabriella just like 1690 02:03:05.000 --> 02:03:10.119 comes out, and so Sharpey would have been looking directly at her like they 1691 02:03:10.159 --> 02:03:13.600 would have made eye contact. It's great, it's perfect, it's comedy. 1692 02:03:13.600 --> 02:03:17.880 It's perfect. You can I have a question. Yeah, Mike, you 1693 02:03:17.960 --> 02:03:23.079 have immunity for this question. I will take the heat. I'll take the 1694 02:03:23.119 --> 02:03:26.039 heat for Tam, Tam, I'll take the heat for this one. The 1695 02:03:26.239 --> 02:03:30.640 topic that just happened was that just like past your time due to age, 1696 02:03:30.640 --> 02:03:32.399 and you just don't know a lot about it a little bit. Yeah, 1697 02:03:32.399 --> 02:03:35.159 I haven't seen most of it. It's like a lot of the stuff that 1698 02:03:35.319 --> 02:03:41.359 happened on a specific channel, and that's nondescript. That was yet not really 1699 02:03:41.439 --> 02:03:45.439 my scene. Okay, gotcha, gotcha. I'm very happy to catch up 1700 02:03:45.479 --> 02:03:48.640 sometime. I'll drink peers and watch whatever. Hey, I'm just happy that 1701 02:03:48.800 --> 02:03:55.680 we live in a world where high school musical is okay and Glee turns out 1702 02:03:55.720 --> 02:04:00.000 to be the problematic show. Yeah, okay, calming amount of people who 1703 02:04:00.039 --> 02:04:06.159 were on Glee have died. Yeah, but maybe we're like involved in some 1704 02:04:06.319 --> 02:04:13.199 stuff or something. Yeah, I've I've been keeping up on it. I 1705 02:04:13.279 --> 02:04:15.359 mean, yeah, the guy who played was a talk on Glee. That 1706 02:04:15.560 --> 02:04:21.600 was the guy that played Finn also passed. Yeah, the day there was 1707 02:04:21.640 --> 02:04:28.640 another show NYA Rivera Yeah, accidental drowning. God awful, Like, oh 1708 02:04:28.720 --> 02:04:32.079 my god, and I fight. Where are they now? It's like not 1709 02:04:32.279 --> 02:04:39.159 great, Well, well we'll never make it to regionals now. But the 1710 02:04:39.239 --> 02:04:44.439 final email of the show comes from Jebec. From Quebec, Hey, bombers 1711 02:04:44.520 --> 02:04:46.560 and duders on the dump truck. We played a game where you had to 1712 02:04:46.640 --> 02:04:53.600 describe yourself using two words that rhyme there was Jerff skating and hayten baccalar and 1713 02:04:53.760 --> 02:04:57.840 Dan shooting and tooting Rekert, et cetera. It's around two. Describe the 1714 02:04:57.880 --> 02:05:00.760 city you live in using the same format. I'll be real with y'all. 1715 02:05:00.840 --> 02:05:03.439 I just booked tickets and as you were recording this live, I will be 1716 02:05:03.520 --> 02:05:08.680 on a Boston City tour bus named Mobsters and Lobsters and I can't wait. 1717 02:05:09.439 --> 02:05:16.600 Jip Beck from Quebec Francisco, so it would be like Lucy San Francisco and 1718 02:05:18.199 --> 02:05:23.319 well, in this instance, it would just be San Francisco. So like 1719 02:05:23.520 --> 02:05:32.880 Foggy and Saggy Foggy, It's kind of correct. It's my experience. How 1720 02:05:32.920 --> 02:05:40.319 do you rhyme cheese and football?

We learned to watch out for the Bostonova Boys. We learned 1765 02:09:33.239 --> 02:09:37.439 that Peter Griffin riding a Dolorean would get me into crazy taxi. We also 1766 02:09:37.560 --> 02:09:43.560 learned that maybe fall Out Boys shouldn't have written a new version of We Didn't 1767 02:09:43.600 --> 02:09:48.960 Start the Fire.

Also, even then, I feel like it's 1772 02:10:07.079 --> 02:10:09.880 gonna be a bad time. They'll end up in jail for that. One 1773 02:10:09.319 --> 02:10:15.359 might end up in jail. And that's yeah. But you don't want anything 1774 02:10:15.680 --> 02:10:20.439 unless it's a box. I'm just gonna don't.
