00:00:46,799 --> 00:00:50,840
Best Games of two thousand and eight. Mikey, how are you doing?

7
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:57,359
I'm good. There's a lot I
need to do for like work before I

8
00:00:57,479 --> 00:01:00,119
go to LA, and I was
like, I have today and tomorrow to

9
00:01:00,159 --> 00:01:03,359
do it. Well, I like, I had like a four hour like

10
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,760
demo today, so there's not I
have tomorrow to do it. You don't

11
00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:12,640
have tomorrow, Mike. I'm for
like half the day tomorrow. I know.

12
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,760
By the way, like at two
thirty our time, I do have

13
00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:18,560
something I do for work for a
little bit. I d have to dip

14
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,159
up for a little bit at some
point. That's all right, no worries.

15
00:01:21,519 --> 00:01:23,959
That's what because that two and a
half hours before then. I don't

16
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,480
know how somewhere You're going, Yeah, should we will probably be wrapping it

17
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,040
up not too long after that,
So I don't know. Maybe we could

18
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:34,359
put like the silly category right around
then. That doesn't mean anything. I

19
00:01:34,359 --> 00:01:38,000
don't know. We'll figure it out. We'll figure out exactly. I'm not

20
00:01:38,359 --> 00:01:42,239
usky real job getting in the way
of things. You know, no worries.

21
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:44,400
We're just glad that you can come
hang out with us as much as

22
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,599
you can. Uh. But yeah, I know what you mean. A

23
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,920
lot going on. Most of my
stuff is like work is still like there

24
00:01:51,959 --> 00:01:53,640
and piling up, and like we're
doing a bunch of guest lists. I'm

25
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,680
adding more names to the list,
but at a certain point, I'm just

26
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,359
gonna like get a bunch of docs
and I'll overlook them and then I'm gonna

27
00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:04,200
hand them to Sean and Marino over
John Bum. Have those guys just post

28
00:02:04,239 --> 00:02:07,000
it, uh, And so that'll
be nice. I'll just hand it off

29
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:07,840
to them. But in the meantime, it's like, Okay, I got

30
00:02:07,879 --> 00:02:10,319
all that happening. I got to
make sure everyone knows what's going on with

31
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,039
GB at night. And then I
just went, oh my god, we

32
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,360
have game, like the actual live
show that we need to be producing.

33
00:02:16,479 --> 00:02:20,520
And we we got in a pretty
good state and we have some fun ideas,

34
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,159
but still it's like, man,
that's looming large. So all these

35
00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:24,280
things happened, and then I got
like, oh, I'm gonna be leaving

36
00:02:24,439 --> 00:02:27,800
my house and my wife and my
kids for a bunch of days. So

37
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,840
I got to make sure things are
set here before I leave. And that's

38
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:34,199
that's what stressed me out right now. I can't believe I got a calendar

39
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,680
invite for a dress rehearsal on my
birthday. You're gonna make me work on

40
00:02:38,719 --> 00:02:45,639
my birthday? Yeah, it's I
have. It's funny like I'm going I'm

41
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:46,719
gonna be in l A for a
while. I have a lot of stuff

42
00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:50,879
I'm doing when I'm there. One
of the things I'm not doing is going

43
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,080
to the Game Awards. I have
a ticket they only give like they only

44
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,840
gave like our outlet one and other
you had to buy the other one and

45
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:01,719
those just sold out. Now.
Oh but like, but I'll tell you

46
00:03:01,759 --> 00:03:07,520
what if I wasn't doing my real
job where I'm actually like have to like

47
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,240
orchestrate and write stories during the Game
Awards, sure I'll go sit down and

48
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,120
watch the Game Awards. Nothing.
Yes, yeah, yeah, I don't

49
00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:16,520
like and I've done it before the
three shows. Were you going with like

50
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:23,039
a laptop and you're trying to work
while sitting in an audience. That's no

51
00:03:23,199 --> 00:03:27,280
Blano, That's that's pretty rough.
I've done that for BlizzCon things. I've

52
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,439
done that for e three shows.
Uh, you know it's it can be

53
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,960
a lot. So, uh,
that's okay because I'll hang out with you

54
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,759
and Jan and Dan. I think, uh I might bring Jordan actually asked

55
00:03:38,759 --> 00:03:40,960
her. Yeah, but she's gonna
be there and she's she can come hang

56
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,159
out for sure. Well, if
we have enough room, maybe we should

57
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:46,879
come sit in on that that'd be
great too. But yeah, we're gonna

58
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:50,960
we're gonna watch you talk over and
I much prefer that, like I've been

59
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,120
with the first one better, And
the first one was in Las Vegas.

60
00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:57,479
It was like already kind of like
more fun in general because you're like in

61
00:03:57,479 --> 00:04:00,159
a casino hotel and everyone's just hanging
out right there and it was good.

62
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:02,919
It was cool. But boy,
I'm just like I want to I would

63
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,240
rather be talking on the internet laughing
and making fun jokes about this instead,

64
00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:12,560
and said, I'm gonna just sit
there quietly having things throwing advertised at my

65
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,519
eyeballs. I'm good. I mean
when I did go that one, it

66
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,879
was like Cogi Condo performing with Imagine
Dragons the one time. I liked to

67
00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:23,480
Imagine Dragons a whole bunch because they
were performing with Coachi Condo. That was

68
00:04:23,519 --> 00:04:26,480
really cool and those moments do stand
out. But I don't know if that

69
00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:28,800
really makes it worth it for me, And I'm like, no, you

70
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,879
know, you know, I get
people who still enjoy going and like hanging

71
00:04:30,879 --> 00:04:33,079
out with other people, but I
just don't need that. Yeah, I

72
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,600
mean, I'm excited to see people. I'm going to see a lot of

73
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,360
them at you know, uh GB
at night. Yeah, I'm bringing the

74
00:04:40,399 --> 00:04:43,759
people to us. Yeah exactly.
So whatever I'm gonna and there's some other

75
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:46,279
things I'm gonna see plenty of people. I don't actually need to go to

76
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,240
the show. Ricky, I want
to be in this show. I don't

77
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,040
know. I go. I love
Lucy on You. Yeah, no,

78
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,120
listen, I love a little Rick
Ricardo. Ricky Ricardo, Ricky Ricardo.

79
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:00,680
That movie came out. I want
seem to care that much though, right,

80
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,040
Yeah, listen, what did they
have like a pretty good director and

81
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:09,160
writer and all that stuff. Then
no one cares. I assume that means

82
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:12,720
it wasn't that interesting. I suppose
so, all right. You can get

94
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,639
It's big, it's big off a
lot of things. Yeah yeah, I

95
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,879
was kind of I'm that idea,
but I was like, man, that's

96

It's funny because I do use it for

97
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,199
podcasts sometimes, and when I do, it's a good experience, but I'm

98
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:06,759
just so like podcasts are on iTunes
or whatever they call it now, I

99
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:12,920

00:06:47,399 --> 00:06:50,360
Who's in it? Yeah yeah,
Jordan Miners joining us, so yes,

110
00:06:50,439 --> 00:06:54,720
yes, tomorrow. Yes, the
author of Video Game of the Year,

111
00:06:55,079 --> 00:06:58,680
that book that I helped uh out
with a little section, and he's

112
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,120
going to be joining us and we're
going to we're gonna compete. He should

113
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,160
know a ton because he had to
write about every video game. Yes,

114
00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:10,480
yes, it's that buzzer. You're
the best of the buzzer game. I

115
00:07:10,519 --> 00:07:14,000
still win usually because I'm smarter than
you. But your buzzer game is very

116
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,120
You say that, but it's like
so many times I'm feeling frustrated because you

117
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,519
buzzed him before me. So it's
like, this is definitely compilation. You

118
00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:21,560
get it ninety percent of the time. I swear to God. All right,

119
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,519
before we start, We're going to
just me and you do a round

120
00:07:25,519 --> 00:07:28,120
of like buzzing and see like out
of ten, and I want to see

121
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,360
what it is. Okay, Yeah, I test the buzzer, test the

122
00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:33,720
buzzer. How would we do?
We just have Sean like three two,

123
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:36,800
Sean tell us he's gonna unlock it. We're just gonna mash he's just gonna

124
00:07:36,839 --> 00:07:40,639
unlock it, and we're just gonna
see who it says out of ten times,

125
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,439
because I bet it'll be you,
like nine of them is what I'm

126
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,639
betting. Okay, all right,
I'm excited to see this. All right,

127
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,959
let's see you. Yeah, I
think I'm ready to get into the

128
00:07:48,959 --> 00:07:51,720
big topics of the week, Mike, how about you? Yes, sir,

129
00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:58,720
Dragon's Dogma two looks pretty good.
Yeah, it does. And it's

130
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,519
coming out like it's going to be
here before you and you know it.

131
00:08:01,519 --> 00:08:05,199
It's coming before, it's coming exactly
when I know it, because it's coming

132
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,040
on my birthday, Mike, the
real birthday, the one that actually matters.

133
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,439
Oh cares about that. Well,
clearly Capcom cares about it. So

134
00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:18,279
Dragon's Dogma two coming March twenty second, twenty twenty four. Again, I

135
00:08:18,279 --> 00:08:20,240
mean, I suppose we could have
expected this, but for me, it's

136
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,639
out of nowhere. I just was
not thinking about this game coming out this

137
00:08:22,759 --> 00:08:26,439
soon. And I watched I watched
the trailer, the you know, the

138
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:31,079
preview event that they did, uh, And I think it looks really cool

139
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,000
that the Shadow of the Colossus segment. Actually it's great. And I don't

140
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,960
know I'm ready for this. I
I want to play Dragons Dogma one more

141
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,879
time before I try this game.
But if, like I get to that

142
00:08:41,879 --> 00:08:46,320
point, it's like, oh I
never got gave Dragons dog another chance,

143
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,759
that won't matter. I'm going to
hop right into this because I'm very excited

144
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:52,799
about it. I'm kind of excited
to go into this, never having played

145
00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:56,000
a second of Dragons Dogma one,
Like this is going to be like a

146
00:08:56,039 --> 00:09:00,759
Street Fighter two situation. For Okay, yes, I think it could be

147
00:09:00,799 --> 00:09:05,000
that in some ways in a broad
sense, like this game could pop off

148
00:09:05,039 --> 00:09:07,679
in a way the first one never
really did. One did fine, but

149
00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:15,080
just because of the excitement for Capcom, the excitement for one of these a

150
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,039
Skyrim like Right, that's kind of
like a general gist here. Obviously,

151
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,799
you know, a bit more faster
paced. Com had an a lot of

152
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,440
other stuff going on, for sure, But yes, I think generally that's

153
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,840
a fair way of putting it.
Yeah, I think people are hungry for

154
00:09:28,159 --> 00:09:33,600
that kind of experience right now,
especially with like new outer scrolls absolutely nowhere

155
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,000
in the horizon, avowed nowhere on
the horizon really, So this game is

156
00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:41,440
going to slot in pretty nicely,
and if you know, if it has

157
00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:46,399
that quality that Capcom has been delivering
for all of their big games lately,

158
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,600
right and like you know, I
know they're smaller games sometimes people like aren't

159
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:56,120
crazy about the dinosaur game. What
is that called Exo Primal? Exo Primal?

160
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,600
Yeah, I know you had a
good time with a giant bomb.

161
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,279
Yes, everyone I played with liked
it a lot. I think Sean liked

162
00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:03,720
it too. Yeah, but when
they've been firing big shots lately. Let's

163
00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:07,799
have almost always hit. I can't
really remember last time they haven't, right,

164
00:10:07,799 --> 00:10:13,320
Double May Cry five, the Resident
Evils, the Monster Hunters. And

165
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,480
that's kind of like the trajectory I
see this on this I kind of like

166
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:22,039
almost expect this to be surprisingly big. I don't know how you can expect

167
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,159
something to be surprising, but there
I am. Yeah, I'm right there

168
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,360
with you, and I'm hoping that
that's exactly the story here and it hits

169
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:33,039
exactly like that, because you know, we had a really strong year of

170
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,000
games, and well, I like
when you say, like, oh man,

171
00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:37,159
what if next year sucks, we
can catch up on some of these

172
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,720
games. I get the feeling next
year is going to be pretty good as

173
00:10:39,759 --> 00:10:43,120
well. I think the Game Awards
might actually set the tone for that here

174
00:10:43,159 --> 00:10:46,039
pretty soon. But it'd be cool, like, hey, yeah, let's

175
00:10:46,039 --> 00:10:48,519
just keep it going. Let's just
drag its Dogma and March. It's going

176
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,720
to be a Game of the Year
container maybe, Yeah, I would love

177
00:10:50,759 --> 00:10:54,279
that. Well, we'll see if
that's actually how it actually plays out,

178
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,519
but that is my hope. I
don't know any other final thoughts about this

179
00:10:56,519 --> 00:10:58,519
game before we move on and of
course, if anyone has any questions,

180
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:03,200
feel free to ask a super chat. I'm very excited about that character attacks

181
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:09,879
with incense, Like, how did
that work? Could you tell? It

182
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:13,399
looked like it was more kind of
a buffing debuffing thing or something really like

183
00:11:13,399 --> 00:11:16,159
a support character. But you know
he had like you, I had to,

184
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,519
you know, when I was an
ULTI boy had that thing, the

185
00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:24,080
chain with the incense. I thought
about using it as a weapon. But

186
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,600
you know it's because I feared God. But I can now live out in

187
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,039
that fantasy in Dragon's Dogma two.
Right, you could do things in video

188
00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:37,879
games that you cannot do at Disney
Church. Of course. No, I

189
00:11:37,919 --> 00:11:41,559
don't know the last thing here.
It's just no, I don't have any

190
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,720
other thoughts. I just left my
brain like that, though you try to

191
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,799
come up with one that's okay.
We could just move on, though,

192
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,039
we could just move on. Yeah, it was. It was a moment

193
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,320
for me, senior moment, I'll
say, in your moment, Yeah it's

194
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,639
happening. I am thinking a lot
about the Game Awards though, because that

195
00:11:56,879 --> 00:12:01,159
is going to be next Thursday.
Well, I do want to try to

196
00:12:01,159 --> 00:12:03,960
do something with these podcasts next week
everybody, but again not sure what that

197
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,840
will look like. But maybe we'll
put something in the feeds. We'll find

198
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,120
something out to do. But out
there's the luck going on. There's a

199
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:15,440
lot going on, including next Thursday
will be the Game Awards, and I

200
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,080
figured what we could do here is
maybe try to figure out a little bit

201
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,240
of what to expect, give us
some predictions and for predictions for like what's

202
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,159
going to be announced there, not
for who's going to be the winners,

203
00:12:24,159 --> 00:12:26,879
although we can do that if if
you want. I just don't particularly care

204
00:12:26,919 --> 00:12:31,559
at this moment, but yeah,
we'll chop right in. I want to

205
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,879
know. I want to know predictions
for Game of the Year. I guess

206
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,840
is that okay? Yeah, sure, what we do? Yeah, definitely

207
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:46,399
definitely let's start there. So I
am thinking that it's probably going to be

208
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,759
Alan Wake too. I think it's
going to have the momentum at the right

209
00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:58,240
time. I think it's still going
to be Bordersgate three. I think that

210
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,360
it's good going to be number two. Yeah, It's it's funny that you

211
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,960
don't you think that gam is going
to come in third with the votes,

212
00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:11,360
isn't Who would have thought that coming
into the year Yeah. I mean,

213
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,200
I just think that the way that
it's working out for these voters is they

214
00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:20,399
I think the voters into the Game
Awards are going to prioritize novelty and I

215
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:22,559
think they will find Alan Wake two
and boulders Gate three to be more novel

216
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,519
than the sequel to Breath of the
Wild. Yeah. Yeah, novel these

217
00:13:26,519 --> 00:13:31,120
one way putting it, and that
is correct. It's a critic way putting

218
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,720
it. But there's just they're kind
of better stories because these are sequels that

219
00:13:35,759 --> 00:13:39,759
both were a long time coming and
people did not have very big expectations for

220
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,960
them. And we go back to
listen to all the podcasts at this time

221
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:48,240
last year talking about twenty twenty three. The games everyone was talking about were

222
00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:52,039
like Zelda, Starfield, Final,
Fantasy, Diabolo. Nobody was really talking

223
00:13:52,039 --> 00:13:56,120
that much about how excited they were
for boulders Gate three and Alan Wake two.

224
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,159
A lot of people assumed down like
two wasn't even going to come out

225
00:13:58,159 --> 00:14:01,799
this year. People are like,
well, that's slotted for next year,

226
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,279
but that's going to get delayed.
So in fact, those games came in

227
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,600
and over delivered. Over delivering is
always the best thing you can do for

228
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,399
your Game with the Year chances,
right, Yes, definitely. I'm like

229
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,639
trying to like I'm trying to see, like what we voted for, and

230
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,600
I can't say obviously everybody, but
I'm like, I'm just trying to get

231
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,039
an idea, and now I'm looking, I'm like, I don't I don't

232
00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:22,440
know if Band actually voted, maybe
he just sent in his ballots secretly.

233
00:14:24,159 --> 00:14:28,399
But yeah, I think you're right
over delivering. Like having that's a huge

234
00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:33,559
part of it, because expectations and
then overcoming those expectations that sets a tone

235
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,120
for the game itself. And then
if the game is like great on top

236
00:14:37,159 --> 00:14:39,879
of that, like not in a
vacuum compared to everything else around it,

237
00:14:39,919 --> 00:14:43,879
that'll really push it over the top. And I just think that the kind

238
00:14:43,879 --> 00:14:48,679
of game that wins Game of the
Year typically is the one that does have

239
00:14:50,039 --> 00:14:54,279
really strong narrative, really strong memorable
characters, something that you could sit down

240
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,840
and show to somebody and be like, this is what's impressive about this?

241
00:14:56,279 --> 00:15:00,200
And I think allan Wick two checks
a lot of those boxes. I think

242
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,960
Boalderskate three does as well. It's
just it takes a little bit longer for

243
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:07,120
people to get that. Now in
Baldergate Boulderskate three's favor or, and it's

244
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,759
in its corner. It's the fact
that it was this huge viral hit and

245
00:15:11,799 --> 00:15:16,399
people were talking about it across all
these social media platforms in a similar way

246
00:15:16,399 --> 00:15:18,200
to Elean Ring. So I'm not
gonna be surprised if that ends up winning

247
00:15:18,639 --> 00:15:24,799
at all. But yeah, the
other possible here is that maybe allen Wick

248
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,759
two and Boulderskate three split the vote
a little bit somehow, and Zelda does

249
00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:31,600
sneak in, but I don't think
so. So it's funny how like at

250
00:15:31,679 --> 00:15:33,720
Zelda one people I think people would
be mad. There would be some people

251
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,000
would be mad. I mean,
people are gonna be mad no matter what.

252
00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:39,759
Of course, imagine if Resie before
one, how mad they get.

253
00:15:39,799 --> 00:15:41,480
I'd love it. Yeah, that
would be sweet, sweet anger, and

254
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:48,320
I would drink all right. So
what do you expect from the Game Awards

255
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,519
In terms of announcements. I wrote
down some thoughts here, some stuff.

256
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:56,919
There are some things that I've heard
that I'm like, I'm not sure if

257
00:15:56,919 --> 00:16:00,600
I want to spoil, So I
think I'm gonna save those things everybody,

258
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,080
But I'll try to talk around things
a little bit here, But then the

259
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,879
rest is like either speculation or based
on things that we're hearing that I can't

260
00:16:07,919 --> 00:16:12,840
confirm one way or the other.
Starting with hell Blay two, Clockwork Revolution,

261
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,320
in South of Midnight, all those
Xbox games have all been rated in

262
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,399
Australia. Do you think that we
could get updates on those three games?

263
00:16:21,399 --> 00:16:23,120
And I know you just mentioned you
hope you didn't see hell Blay two again.

264
00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:26,120
Well, okay, I said that. I immediately regretted it. But

265
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,679
the last Helblay two shilling was so
boring to me. Hey, look,

266
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,399
if they want to come out of
helbribly too and really try to impress us

267
00:16:34,759 --> 00:16:38,480
and show us why this game is
going to be a big game next year

268
00:16:38,519 --> 00:16:41,000
and doing a way that look,
I get it, it's a very narrative

269
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,600
focused game. Sure, Like show
me why in terms of gameplay that game

270
00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:49,840
is going to be interesting and impressive
and cool. I think I go for

271
00:16:49,879 --> 00:16:52,720
all three of these games. Yeah, all of these games are in that

272
00:16:52,759 --> 00:16:56,399
same bucket of I mean, a
Clockwork Revolution, It's like that's probably just

273
00:16:56,399 --> 00:17:00,799
going to be a BioShock and whatever. Okay, I know, go for

274
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,960
one of those. I guess exactly. I just need to play it to

275
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,640
know if it's a it's a good
one of those, so whatever, whatever

276
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,200
you show that, if it's more
of the BioShock sort of feel look and

277
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,559
feel whatever. South of Midnight,
we have no idea what that game is

278
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:17,400
as a game. It had a
really stylish debut, and remind people,

279
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,799
the Clockwork Revolution is the one that
looks exactly like BioShock Infinite basically. And

280
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:26,799
South of Midnight is that stylish Louisiana
Bayou ass looking game. Oh right,

281
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,880
they had that one, sure,
yeah, right, at least that games

282
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,200
like that game stands out visually a
bit more better on the look. Yes,

283
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,000
yeah, but they're all trying to
help you wait for hel Bay does

284
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,720
two good looking games, and I
think for a lot of people just like

285
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:44,240
seeing interesting sore hooks is enough.
You know me and you no, not

286
00:17:44,319 --> 00:17:47,599
really, I want to see why
I'm going to be interested in it as

287
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,839
a game, yes, and yeah, South of Midnight is Compulsion's next game,

288
00:17:51,839 --> 00:17:53,960
that's right. The people that made
we happy few, But yeah,

289
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,599
I would love to see gameplay for
all of those now, because just because

290
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,960
these things got rated in Australia doesn't
guarantee that will be at the game Awards.

291
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,880
It's just as likely that these things
will get some other announcement in some

292
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,759
other venue. A lot of companies
have been doing stuff outside of the Game

293
00:18:07,759 --> 00:18:11,759
Awards that that could happen with these
three. But I do like Xbox says,

294
00:18:11,759 --> 00:18:15,599
they will have stuff there and you
could probably expect a pretty big announcement

295
00:18:15,599 --> 00:18:19,480
from them, and maybe multiple big
announcements from them, or at least interesting

296
00:18:19,519 --> 00:18:22,960
stuff that they're bringing. So yeah, we can look forward to that at

297
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,799
the very least. Again not try
trying not to spoil anything. Let's see

298
00:18:27,839 --> 00:18:32,680
elder Ring DLC. That seems pretty
likely, right, yeah, man,

299
00:18:32,799 --> 00:18:34,640
I mean it's been some instance we've
really heard about that we haven't really heard

300
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:41,240
anything super substantial about. That was
a little bit of murmurs of I can't

301
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,839
remember what platform, but there were
some updates to elden Ring in some back

302
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,200
end I don't know if it was
Steam or something else, and people made

303
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,240
note of it like this is strange
and might signify something. Who knows,

304
00:18:52,559 --> 00:18:56,000
but I'll say that. I mean, elden Ring had a really good showing

305
00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:00,640
at Akille thing before, so it
would make sense to come here with the

306
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,920
DLC. And they're like, we
have a date and stuff, right,

307
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,400
No, exactly, like they use
a chilly stuff to promote that game heavily

308
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,920
in the first place, and it
clearly like you know everything that game did,

309
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,680
Like you want to change anything right
about the promotion? Why not just

310
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,079
do it again? Yep? Absolutely, And I'm boy if I think if

311
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,880
we get Eldering DLC, this is
already a really good show. Wow.

312
00:19:23,039 --> 00:19:26,359
Oh yeah in terms of like my
excitement, because I would, I'm I'm

313
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,240
ready to go back into elder Ring. Give me some more story stuff in

314
00:19:30,279 --> 00:19:33,359
there, give me some more land
masses to explore. I'm ready to go

315
00:19:36,079 --> 00:19:38,119
this one. I'm not going to
give like too many details on I heard

316
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,839
something Jurassic Park related might be happening, but I can't confirm it. Uh

317
00:19:42,039 --> 00:19:45,960
So I'm not going to talk about
like what I've heard it is. But

318
00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:48,559
if it comes up from once I
don't have my Jurassic Park bottle open here

319
00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:52,200
here, I was gonna do a
bit. Yeah, I like I told

320
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,599
you about this one, and it
sounds pretty cool, right if it works

321
00:19:56,599 --> 00:19:59,799
out that way? Yeah, what
you told me sounds like a very good

322
00:19:59,839 --> 00:20:03,079
fing right, Like a Jurassic Park
game can mean a lot of things.

323
00:20:03,079 --> 00:20:06,279
Is what you told me. Seems
like a good idea. I hope it's

324
00:20:06,319 --> 00:20:08,599
real. I hope it's real as
well. And if it is, we

325
00:20:08,599 --> 00:20:11,319
don't hear about the Game Awards.
I think we'll hear about it soon one

326
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,799
way or the other. And again, that's if it's real. I don't

327
00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:18,440
know. Dragon Age also seems pretty
likely they have a history of doing stuff

328
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,480
at the Game Awards. EA is
not gonna have anything mass effect related.

329
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,759
They did their thing on in Seven
Day that's still years and years away.

330
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,759
Dragon Age is still, at this
moment scheduled to come out next year,

331
00:20:30,799 --> 00:20:36,880
probably sometime after the summer of next
year. But hey, doing something the

332
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,839
Game Awards to like set the tone
of like, yeah, next year's still

333
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,839
happening. I think that's very likely. What do you think? Yeah,

334
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,599
But like at this point, I
want to see something substantial, right,

335
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:51,160
I don't want to see another like
twenty second story trailer that's mostly a person's

336
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:56,480
feet or shadow or like magic spell, right, Like, hey, maybe

337
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,640
we could see some gameplay of this, Maybe you can get a real idea

338
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,319
of what the structure of this game
is going. And that's why I'm like

339
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:10,920
not certain about this, because these
days companies save their big like in depth

340
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,680
gameplay trailers until they're very close to
excuse me, unil they're very close to

341
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,279
release, and if this game's not
coming out to the second half of next

342
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,960
year, maybe they just hold off
until they're actually ready and they don't have

343
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,640
anything for this, but you know, the history suggests that it's very likely

344
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,559
they'll have something here, so we'll
see. And then what do you think

345
00:21:29,559 --> 00:21:33,079
about Nintendo? Do you think Nintendo's
gonna have anything substantial there? Ah,

346
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:38,559
not really. Uh, maybe something
smaller and maybe something smaller that'd be really

347
00:21:38,599 --> 00:21:41,680
cool to me, Like, I
don't know if I can't even see them

348
00:21:41,759 --> 00:21:44,960
be like, yeah, we're using
this platform to talk about Metroid Prime to

349
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,279
remastered. Uh, you know,
they don't have any big deal see,

350
00:21:48,279 --> 00:21:52,759
really left to talk unless there's like
Mario Wonder DLC something like that. I

351
00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:56,160
don't know. Again, I feel
like Nintendo's next big showcase. It's kind

352
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,400
of hasked to start talking about a
console here, right, and that this

353
00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:04,119
doesn't really seem to be part of
the plans for December. We already know

354
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,799
enough about the games coming out from
them, like the next six months.

355
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,640
They don't really need to say too
much here. I can kind of see

356
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,839
them just laying low. And they've
been laying low at these things anyways,

357
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:21,519
and now it feels like they might
be laying the lowest of lows. So

358
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,680
when I wrote down here, Ellipses
metroate Prime four question mark, you think,

359
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,559
no, way, no, we're
seeing metrid Prime four here. Yeah,

360
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,960
I am. I am in general, way less optimistic about metroc Prime

361
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,279
four being a thing in next year
compared to like you and other people.

362
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,720
That's not even within my expectations.
Be nice, but I'm not really expecting

363
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,039
it. I agree with you for
the most part about it not being here.

364
00:22:45,599 --> 00:22:49,359
The one thing is that Metroid is
a very Western franchise. This is

365
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:55,559
a lot of eyeballs, and there's
angers a chance, but probably it would

366
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:56,759
be. It wouldn't be a bad
venue for it. You're right, it

367
00:22:57,079 --> 00:23:00,759
would be. It's a good fit, that's right. That's my whole thing

368
00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:03,359
here is it's a good fit.
That doesn't mean anything. That means zero.

369
00:23:03,519 --> 00:23:07,480
So it's probably not going to be
there, but I would love it

370
00:23:07,599 --> 00:23:14,079
so hopefully. And then what about
Sony. I mean, so that's interesting

371
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,160
because like they almost seem to be
in a position where that it'd be a

372
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:22,160
good idea because we don't know very
much at all about what they're twenty twenty

373
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,000
four is going to look like a
lot of people are going to be watching

374
00:23:25,079 --> 00:23:27,440
this. It just depends on you
know, Sony so often does just like

375
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:32,599
to do their own thing anymore.
But they've been a part of a chilly

376
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,680
stuff before. I hope, so
let me put that. I hope.

377
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,079
So, I hope we get a
really big drop from Sony. I think

378
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,799
that could be kind of the thing
from the show even really, I think

379
00:23:41,839 --> 00:23:45,839
it would benefit both PlayStation and Great
Game of Wards itself, So like,

380
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,880
that's something I think we could see
and I would like to see. I

381
00:23:51,279 --> 00:23:56,079
agree, But I mean, Sony's
been so like pull the rug out from

382
00:23:56,079 --> 00:23:59,039
your expectations. Like that PlayStation showcase, it's like, Okay, we're gonna

383
00:23:59,039 --> 00:24:00,920
get all answers there. I felt
like we didn't really get any answers there,

384
00:24:02,319 --> 00:24:03,319
and so I'm like, well,
we'll get some answers here. And

385
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,400
I'm like, now I'm not even
getting my hopes up for for that.

386
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,279
They'll talk about these games when they're
ready to talk about them, and I'm

387
00:24:08,319 --> 00:24:11,279
sure they have a ton of stuff
in the works. Things that are going

388
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,680
to be really exciting and surprising.
But I'm not gonna get my hopes up

389
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,720
too much for this showcase to be
for PlayStation. I'll say one last thing

390
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,799
that I have heard, and this
is like very vague stuff, but that

391
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:29,920
there will be a lot of new
IP cool stuff from third parties. Again,

392
00:24:30,039 --> 00:24:34,400
try not to spoil anything. I
don't know overall, Like, are

393
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,680
you do think that this is We're
going to come out of this this Game

394
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,039
Game Awards and be like that was
a really good showcase for new games?

395
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,160
Well, no, because nobody ever
thinks that, even when I think it

396
00:24:44,519 --> 00:24:48,000
is sometimes especially when but when you
are like, if it is new IP

397
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,400
heavy, like, let's be honest, what people are going to get excited

398
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,960
about. People are going to get
hyped about sequels. You know, they

399
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,240
want you to come back, yes, right, yeah, if you're like

400
00:24:57,279 --> 00:25:00,960
maybe, if you're like, here's
from software game, then people will give

401
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,039
it some leateway on being the new
IP, right, But you know,

402
00:25:03,079 --> 00:25:08,000
if it's just some new IP from
some studio that like people don't really know,

403
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,359
or they made a couple of big
games but nothing that recording, it's

404
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,640
not nominated for Game of the Year. That's messed up. It's a bit

405
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,640
messed up. I'm funny. I
mean, like I'm surprised. How you

406
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:19,599
know, like how many Jans there
were? Right, People are like,

407
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,480
I don't don't really like it right
to me, I was like, no,

408
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,559
it's not the like but uh so
good. I think it's great,

409
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,480
Like it's very very good. But
what you're going to do, Yeah,

410
00:25:30,519 --> 00:25:33,319
I don't know any other predictions coming
from your your side of things, anything

411
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,319
that you were like would like to
see that would be ideal. Gosh,

412
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,279
I mean, I don't know.
It's it's so hard to say because like

413
00:25:41,319 --> 00:25:45,200
what I always want is to be
surprised in a fun way. That's what

414
00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:48,559
I always want. So you know, for me being uh the kind of

415
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,200
this somewhat nostalgic gamer I am,
it means seeing old franchises come back and

416
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,960
get a sequel, and that's something
I could be explained. I'm as guilty

417
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,880
as as anybody, right, Like, I'm gonna definitely they came out there's

418
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,599
a twisted metal. I'm going to
care a lot more about that than some

419
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,920
new ip I never heard of,
even if it looks really cool, right,

420
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,400
I'll probably even make snarky jokes at
that thing's expense because I'm a bad

421
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:15,160
person. Do you think there's a
chance that Microsoft might have it's like hardware

422
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,119
refreshes here, because it's done that
in the past as well. And we

423
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,759
learned about those the discless Xbox like
the cylinder one from the ft Yeah,

424
00:26:22,759 --> 00:26:26,799
the dickless one. That's right,
judge, this man has no penis.

425
00:26:27,039 --> 00:26:30,480
Yeah, I mean Ghostbusters, what
can I do? Yeah, the FTC

426
00:26:30,759 --> 00:26:37,960
documentation had a handful of new hardware
from Microsoft. I think there's a chance

427
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,039
that could happen here. I guess. I guess it's a little what did

428
00:26:41,079 --> 00:26:45,079
it look like last time they revealed
hardware because I have a hard time imagining.

429
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,200
Then in the middle of it was
didn't they they did Xbox one X

430
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,680
at the show, right, and
I don't remember. Yeah, And then

431
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,000
I think that then they confirm Xbox
Series X is coming, but they don't

432
00:26:56,039 --> 00:26:57,279
think they showed it, showed it. I think they just like said and

433
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,599
we got new hardware coming something along
those lines, but they just really like

434
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,880
showed it there. That was the
bigger aval for it. Okay, all

435
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,640
right, then, yeah, there
you go. Then I guess that's a

436
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:11,240
distinct possibility then yeah, I mean
Phil Spencer's on the board of directors for

437
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,839
the Game Awards or board of advisors. I suppose it's probably not directors,

438
00:27:17,039 --> 00:27:18,839
and I think they have a close
relationship. He's done that before. It's

439
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,680
not it's worked out in the past. I I bet something along those lines

440
00:27:22,759 --> 00:27:26,079
happens here. It could happen here, not like guaranteeing it or anything,

441
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,440
but I think that could happen,
especially since it's like, you can't wait

442
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,519
too long on these these heart these
things, because if PS PlayStation is going

443
00:27:33,559 --> 00:27:37,039
to have a PS five pro,
these things are going to look silly next

444
00:27:37,079 --> 00:27:38,599
to that. So you might we
want to get these out and convince me

445
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,440
fantastic. You promise it's definitely happening. Yeah, no problem. Any other

446
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,519
thoughts, No, No, that's
it. I'm just I'm excited to see

447
00:27:48,599 --> 00:27:51,359
you, you know. I mean, the show always guarners a lot of

448
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:52,839
criticism, and hey, go ahead
criticize it, right, I don't care.

449
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,880
I think just as generally as good
a show as we are ever going

450
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,640
to get U in terms of like
being this big and be getting people actually

451
00:28:00,759 --> 00:28:03,920
watching it, Jeff, I know, people get set like, oh,

452
00:28:03,319 --> 00:28:07,240
not enough about the awards. I
get that, and I there definitely is

453
00:28:07,279 --> 00:28:11,119
a point. It is kind of
stilly when awards aren't even mentioned during the

454
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,079
show. But I don't know.
My expectations always a bit more realistic.

455
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,680
I think, like, I'm yeah, the real Game Awards are happening in

456
00:28:17,759 --> 00:28:21,519
the Saturday after this. And right
so we're live in Los Angeles, California.

457
00:28:21,519 --> 00:28:23,279
Everybody, all right, what we're
gonna do is we're gonna take a

458
00:28:23,319 --> 00:28:26,559
quick break. When we get back, we're gonna talk about some super chats.

459
00:28:26,599 --> 00:28:29,200
Then we have some other stuff going
on this episode. We'll do all

460
00:28:29,279 --> 00:28:34,279
that right after this and we're back. Mike, we have some super chats,

461
00:28:34,279 --> 00:28:37,440
go ahead and read those. On
second, I'm responding to all these

462
00:28:37,519 --> 00:28:41,400
negative reviews we have on on on
iTunes as I still think, yeah,

463
00:28:41,559 --> 00:28:45,359
look, I'm gonna tell them why
they're wrong. Jeff, Yeah, that's

464
00:28:45,359 --> 00:28:48,079
a good idea. That's god.
Yeah, I guess so people talk about

465
00:28:48,079 --> 00:28:51,079
that, Yeah yeah, but that
thing that was pretty fucking stupid. It's

466
00:28:51,119 --> 00:28:56,400
pretty simple, like responding to negative
reviews is part of a community manager's job

467
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,519
for like any business. The way
that they're doing it is so stupid,

468
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:06,680
Like the actually you're wrong about what
you think is fun? What the fuck

469
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,720
are you talking about? Right?
Like some people are they watch people do

470
00:29:08,799 --> 00:29:12,240
this like Okay, that's not necessarily
the problem, although I think maybe you

471
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,559
just shouldn't. But to be clear, they're doing it poorly. Well,

472
00:29:15,559 --> 00:29:19,279
I mean like some people are like
really good at it. You know Dave

473
00:29:19,319 --> 00:29:22,079
Ausry, like he does that all
the time, and a lot of times

474
00:29:22,119 --> 00:29:25,480
he just makes fun of people who
are being stupid in his reviews and it's

475
00:29:25,519 --> 00:29:29,440
great. It's like a funny thing
to do. Big corporation's doing it facelessly

476
00:29:29,599 --> 00:29:33,119
and telling people like, actually,
it's not boring. Actually when h yeah,

477
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,640
when the astronauts went to the moon, they weren't bored. They get

478
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:41,119
no shit. If I really went
to one of these planets, yes,

479
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:47,720
boried, and that's a completely different
thing. Anyway, Yes, you have

480
00:29:47,839 --> 00:29:52,000
to say genuous. All right,
we shall read our iTunes reviews. Oh

481
00:29:52,079 --> 00:29:59,400
yeah, sure, absolutely, because
they just let let that Argentinian talk more,

482
00:29:59,519 --> 00:30:00,640
is what they'll and I'll be able. These are bullshit reviews. I

483
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,400
know what you don't know. They're
a Christian. All right, let's do

484
00:30:04,559 --> 00:30:08,480
this, Big Fresh thirty seven says
I think we might see the re emergence

485
00:30:08,519 --> 00:30:12,279
of Multiverses at the Game Awards.
Don't laugh. I love that game.

486
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,920
I mean it's supposed to come back, right, So yeah, I'm like

487
00:30:19,039 --> 00:30:23,079
trying to like putting myself in Jeff
Keeley's shoes. If Warner Brothers comes to

488
00:30:23,079 --> 00:30:27,799
you and says, hey, we
have a trailer for the new release of

489
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:32,160
multi Verses, do you think he
would be excited about that? I'm guessing

490
00:30:32,319 --> 00:30:36,960
actually probably yes because there's may but
yes, yeah, Well that's what I'm

491
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,160
trying to think. What do you
ask for money or not? I don't

492
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,119
know who can Warner Brothers put in
that game? Like what hot Warner Brothers

493
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,279
character from the last couple of years? Could they put in a really spike

494
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,200
some interest? What has Waterer Brothers
been up to? Is that the game

495
00:30:51,279 --> 00:30:53,240
that has Walter from? Am I
making that up? That could have been

496
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,480
a meaning? But yes, I'm
breaking back, I'm breaking back. Yeah,

497
00:30:56,839 --> 00:31:00,640
he doesn't's in that game. Betty's
supposed to be on the It was

498
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,279
like a lea Okay, he was
okay, he was never in that game

499
00:31:03,359 --> 00:31:06,359
though that never actually happened, you
know, but it was like a leak

500
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,720
and it's supposed to be in there, and the leak looked pretty real,

501
00:31:08,799 --> 00:31:12,759
but I don't know. Yeah,
well it did not happen. Well,

502
00:31:12,799 --> 00:31:19,200
they put the guy from Wait a
second, that's to be like, well,

503
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,920
there's not in it. He just
they just want him in that.

504
00:31:22,079 --> 00:31:23,680
Okay, that's what I just said. You don't listen, you don't care

505
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,079
what I say. Well, I
just didn't believe you. You just said

506
00:31:26,079 --> 00:31:30,000
it so you sounded like there's no
way that's real. And from a place

507
00:31:30,039 --> 00:31:33,920
of no knowledge. I just thought
you were being uh like frustrated with us

508
00:31:34,319 --> 00:31:38,319
even entertain the idea that that was
possible, and I was it was yeah,

509
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,759
right, But I thought you were
just angry and not oh I'm always

510
00:31:41,839 --> 00:31:47,839
angry. Hey, if one of
our brothers Pictures distributed the Barbie movie,

511
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,160
maybe they came out and said,
hey, we have Barbie in multi verses.

512
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,680
Maybe then yeah, will care.
I am pretty sure if it was

513
00:31:53,759 --> 00:31:59,640
like that version of Barbie, uh, Hasbro or whoever Mattel would ask for

514
00:31:59,759 --> 00:32:02,640
so much goddamn money is you probably
would not make that game make any financial

515
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:08,440
sense anymore. Their uh and Tony
A morale says officially off every Monday until

516
00:32:08,519 --> 00:32:14,240
Jerry twenty second twenty twenty four.
I'm nice any suggests how to completely waste

517
00:32:14,279 --> 00:32:19,160
his free time and make me regret
my decisions. Thanks, uh to regret

518
00:32:19,279 --> 00:32:22,920
your decisions. Get get really into
World of Warcraft right now? Yeah,

519
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:27,319
I was gonna sound like some live
service game, just like we get into

520
00:32:27,359 --> 00:32:31,759
Destiny one. I think you Classic
just launch like its new season or mode

521
00:32:31,799 --> 00:32:37,240
or whatever that get ever Quest to
play ever Quest two? Yeah no,

522
00:32:37,519 --> 00:32:42,960
no, RuneScape Classic Request two is
like one of those weird like technically still

523
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:49,119
alive because there's like two und Yeah. I agree, like like those are

524
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,640
so weird, Like there's people make
content about that, Like what's it like

525
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,279
to play these games now? And
it's always very weird. It's like joining

526
00:32:57,319 --> 00:33:01,559
a cult. Rachel acker Less,
this a five on the super Chat.

527
00:33:01,559 --> 00:33:05,359
I don't know what that signifies.
It is their fifth super chat. I

528
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,160
don't know why YouTube's counting it like
that, but whatever, thanks for your

529
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,160
fifth super chat. I'll go for
it. Thank you so much, Rachel.

530
00:33:10,359 --> 00:33:14,119
I finally got around to elden Ring
and understand the hype. Now,

531
00:33:14,519 --> 00:33:21,400
what's a game you came back to
later that just clicked with you? Yeah,

532
00:33:22,039 --> 00:33:27,279
Gunstar Heroes I played way after it
came out, and that instantly clicked

533
00:33:27,319 --> 00:33:30,519
and instantly became my favorite Genesis game. You know, I was playing just

534
00:33:30,599 --> 00:33:35,519
before the stream was a killer instinct, that Xbox One version that just got

535
00:33:35,599 --> 00:33:38,480
an update, and I never played
that much of it back then. I

536
00:33:38,599 --> 00:33:42,640
wasn't really in a big fan gay
mood at the time. And since then

537
00:33:43,799 --> 00:33:45,480
people have been talking about how much
they liked this game, Like this game

538
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,519
like, oh okay, I didn't
realize it was that well liked and just

539
00:33:49,599 --> 00:33:53,000
playing it for a couple hours today, met it yesterday. Yes, that

540
00:33:53,079 --> 00:33:57,000
game was very good and I immediately
get it. It's super Does it have

541
00:33:57,119 --> 00:34:01,000
the juice? Yeah, it's got
juice in the juice is all like like

542
00:34:01,119 --> 00:34:07,680
the Killer Sicks. Whole thing,
right is try to imitate America nineties cool,

543
00:34:07,119 --> 00:34:13,039
but everybody making the game is from
England, so it's almost like it's

544
00:34:13,079 --> 00:34:15,719
not quite a parody of it,
but it is. It's in that same

545
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:20,159
vein I know, right, It's
it's charming because of that. Yeah,

546
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:25,639
that's fun. It's good. It's
very good. Zubermer says my Spotify raped

547
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:30,599
is all Guilty Gear and Casey Lee
williams, are they any podcasts that all

548
00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:36,119
goes through YouTube and Patreon. My
if I rapped this was even more hinge

549
00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:40,039
than usual, Jeff. It's just
a mess of like new metal and video

550
00:34:40,119 --> 00:34:44,920
game music and Jimmy Buffett. And
my third most listening song of the year

551
00:34:45,639 --> 00:34:50,239
was Jaffar song from the Return of
Jafar. It was it was a mess.

552
00:34:50,679 --> 00:34:55,639
Yeah. YouTube does their YouTube rapped
equivalent and for YouTube music and mine

553
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,360
is I'm always like, oh man, I can't wait to see what it

554
00:34:58,519 --> 00:35:01,719
was. And it's like, oh, you use Cruising Blasts theme song as

555
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:06,440
your alarm every day, so that's
one of them. And then here's the

556
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,159
ship your kids listen to one hundred
times every day. And I'm like,

557
00:35:08,199 --> 00:35:10,199
oh, yeah, okay, never
mind. This isn't useful it all,

558
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:15,159
Jeff, you really do wake up
to just gra am. Still not sick

559
00:35:15,199 --> 00:35:19,639
of it either. I don't.
I was sick of it the second time

560
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,800
you played it. I picked a
different I picked a different song for Astrobus

561
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:28,599
and Tudogs. You're just like,
no, absolutely the fuck not. Yeah.

562
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,840
Cody Bishop says, Hey, guys, I just got an old steaming

563
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:37,360
deck. What system do you think
is the best at to emulate that would

564
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,239
take advantage of that new screen.
Yeah, you know what, it is

565
00:35:40,079 --> 00:35:45,719
a fucking nesse. Most games have
like real dark black backgrounds, and seeing

566
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:52,280
those like little pixels pop against that
old metroid is especially cool. There's a

567
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:57,480
bunch of them that look really cool. So yeah Man Stage and Mega Man

568
00:35:57,599 --> 00:36:01,159
five. Yeah, yeah's Mega Man
and it looks great on an O lead.

569
00:36:01,559 --> 00:36:05,840
It's just it's fantastic. So Andy
s is top tier stuff. But

570
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,800
honestly, all of them, it
all looks great on the olead Dak says.

571
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:14,119
Word on the street is Jeff got
a piece of Mike's beard hair and

572
00:36:14,199 --> 00:36:19,039
has cloned one hundred Robocottonman not needs
to be his security. Wouldn't that be

573
00:36:19,119 --> 00:36:22,119
hilarious? Just shooting Dick's left and
right, he'll be crazy. Yeah,

574
00:36:22,199 --> 00:36:25,239
that's all they're doing, and just
like what have I done? This is

575
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:31,760
keeping nobody safe? Hey you Peka
Blue, says Michael Jeffrey min nub Will

576
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:37,039
Hornets of the Hollow Nests make an
appearance at TGA's or is this game the

577
00:36:37,119 --> 00:36:39,920
new halfway three tootles? Okay,
now I have two thoughts. Now I

578
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:44,960
have two thoughts. One, Hey, this is a way better chance of

579
00:36:45,079 --> 00:36:50,239
having Hollow Night than like that indie
showcase Nintendo had did one. Yes,

580
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,800
it could be here, like that
game has to be shown at some point.

581
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:59,360
It has been forever, Like that
game is going to come out someday.

582
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,159
People are very excited about. It's
a big deal game. That game

583
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,840
could be at the Game Awards.
It just could. Like, I think

584
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,159
there's a distinct possibility. I don't
want hopes up, but it's a distinct

585
00:37:10,199 --> 00:37:15,119
possibility. And now that they have
put this out there, Jeff, look,

586
00:37:15,159 --> 00:37:19,320
there's not a zero percent chance we
see half Life three. I mean

587
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,559
to be there to be cool.
Look, half Life Alex. They did

588
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,960
set up Half Life three, Like
I assume that a lot of people just

589
00:37:29,039 --> 00:37:31,679
made that game then started working on
a half Life three. They just did

590
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:37,480
all this anniversary stuff for Half Life
one. I look, look, it's

591
00:37:37,519 --> 00:37:39,719
not a great chance. It's as
best of chances we have had in a

592
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:45,519
very long time. All Right,
I'm buying. I'm buying. Buy,

593
00:37:45,639 --> 00:37:47,159
I'm buying what you're selling here.
Yeah, I'm in. You got me.

594
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,960
You know what I'm I'm there it
is. I'm calling my shot.

595
00:37:50,960 --> 00:38:00,119
I'm calling my shot. Happened that
would be fucking Buck's halfway. That would

596
00:38:00,159 --> 00:38:04,159
be nuts. Okay, all right. I hope it happens, because that'd

597
00:38:04,159 --> 00:38:07,239
be a that'd be I'll go wild
with you. That is going to be

598
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:08,519
a real video game someday. I
know it doesn't feel like it, but

599
00:38:08,679 --> 00:38:12,679
it is. But I think it
could think it could be. Not because

600
00:38:12,679 --> 00:38:15,880
I said this, we aren't gonna
get Half Life three or All the Night,

601
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,039
So we're gonna have like three,
but in like twenty five years.

602
00:38:19,159 --> 00:38:22,320
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll
be too infirmed to play it. Eli

603
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,239
Meracle says, Hey, oh,
boys, waiting to bore my plane.

604
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:30,360
My luggage was slightly overright, placeation
five and laptop with me. Listen,

605
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,760
it's tiny. We'll report in the
rest later. Yeah, happy travels,

606
00:38:35,039 --> 00:38:37,480
Ali Miracle. Look forward to seeing
you at the live show. Hey,

607
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,079
if any of you are going to
the live show, we are excited to

608
00:38:40,079 --> 00:38:44,039
see you, let us know we
are really looking forward to it. If

609
00:38:44,039 --> 00:38:45,760
you haven't got tickets yet, I
understand there are a very few of those

610
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,800
left, correct, Jeff, Yeah, I mean I think you're gonna be

611
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,440
sold out by tomorrow, maybe,
man, I hope, so that'd be

612
00:38:52,519 --> 00:38:55,639
fun. So it's a fun to
be sold out by the time the show

613
00:38:55,679 --> 00:38:59,960
starts, Like there's a zero chance
Christian Chimeman in to tell me how it's

614
00:39:00,159 --> 00:39:01,679
not cool that we sold out the
show again. I'm sure he has those

615
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:08,280
reasons. Oh Grog says, any
shadow drops or demos at the Game Awards,

616
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:12,960
Like, wasn't there a final Fantasy
seven demo? Rumor also take a

617
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:19,440
shot for every game pass commercial.
I could totally see a seven Rebirth demo.

618
00:39:19,559 --> 00:39:24,800
Screens has liked demos lately. That
game is definitely getting ramped up for

619
00:39:25,159 --> 00:39:30,400
its release next year. I could
see that. I also just see that

620
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,719
Gable might have like a trailer of
some kind, absolutely, maybe one that

621
00:39:35,119 --> 00:39:37,400
we had a tease of Vincent in
the last one. Maybe we see more

622
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,639
of him, although I forget if
Vincent's going to be a party member or

623
00:39:39,679 --> 00:39:44,119
this one or a guest character like
Red thirteen was. I don't know.

624
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,800
There's still plenty of things that can
show to get people excited about Rebirth.

625
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:51,960
I'm already pretty excited about Rebirth.
Jev Man seven roommake was so good.

626
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:53,639
Yeah, I never beat remake,
but I enjoyed what I played of it.

627
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,920
I played like fifteen hours and had
a really good time with it.

628
00:39:57,519 --> 00:40:00,400
And I'll probably try to force my
way through it so I can ready for

629
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:01,800
a rebirth because I'm excited for that
game too. I bet it's gonna be

630
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:07,000
really fun. It's gonna be very
fun. El Gruggs says, uh oh,

631
00:40:07,079 --> 00:40:09,280
that's when we just said the ultra
woolf says. Sarah Bond tweeted out

632
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:15,320
the three sixty logo back combat question
mark I didn't see this tweet. Yeah,

633
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:20,599
I don't know, Like, I
mean, there's already there's a lot

634
00:40:20,639 --> 00:40:22,840
of back compat from Xbox three sixty
already. I thought most of the concern

635
00:40:23,039 --> 00:40:25,119
was like, oh, there were
a lot of Xbox games that people would

636
00:40:25,119 --> 00:40:29,920
have liked, but that I don't
know. Maybe there's a bunch of Xbox

637
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,039
three sixty it's missing. I don't
know. Do you think they could be

638
00:40:32,079 --> 00:40:37,000
doing an Xbox three sixty mini that'd
be funny. I don't think so.

639
00:40:37,119 --> 00:40:38,519
I think if it doesn't make any
sense, like because it'd be like games

640
00:40:38,559 --> 00:40:42,719
would be so big. The thing
that made Xbox three sixty cool was Xbox

641
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,599
Live. And you're not gonna build
Xbox Live just for a mini console.

642
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:52,039
So yeah, yeah, And she's
tweeted this on November twenty eighth. I

643
00:40:52,119 --> 00:40:54,320
mean the Xbox three sixty had to
come out in a November, right was

644
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,400
I don't know if it was around
then or not. Oh yeah, that's

645
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,679
what I saw this speculation and mentions
here. There could be a lot of

646
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:07,119
Activision Blizzard Xbox three sixty games,
and probably a lot of Call of Duty

647
00:41:07,199 --> 00:41:10,960
Xbox three sixty games that will get
track that those could be shadow dropped two.

648
00:41:12,039 --> 00:41:15,079
I can see that happening. But
give me those Transformers games that they

649
00:41:15,159 --> 00:41:16,320
made, then that's what I really
Yeah, that's gonna take a lot more

650
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,360
work, but I hope they get
around to doing that stuff. There are

651
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,199
a whole lot of I mean,
all those Spider Man games, man,

652
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,559
I would love for all of those
to be on game Pass. That'd be

653
00:41:24,679 --> 00:41:28,440
cool too. There's a there's still
a ton of three sixty games that'd be

654
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,960
cool. We'll see. That's it
for the Superchets for now. Thank you

655
00:41:30,039 --> 00:41:36,079
so much, everybody. Okay,
we're gonna take another quick break when we

656
00:41:36,119 --> 00:41:39,679
get back. Sean, do we
have a game? Sorry, was working

657
00:41:39,679 --> 00:41:43,639
on stuff? No, not not
this week. Yeah, no worries.

658
00:41:43,639 --> 00:41:45,480
So okay, we'll get back.
We're gonna do Game of the Year two

659
00:41:45,519 --> 00:41:50,920
thousand and eight. See you all
in a second, and we're back and

660
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:52,440
we're talking about the best games of
two thousand and eight. Mike. What

661
00:41:52,519 --> 00:41:57,320
we do here is you and I
try to figure out the five best games

662
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,320
of any particular year. This year, it's two thousand and eight in his

663
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:04,599
games released in the United States that
year, so no games released internationally.

664
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,639
So if you have one of those, keep it to yourself. We'll get

665
00:42:07,679 --> 00:42:09,920
some input here from our podcast producers
in a second. Mike, you want

666
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,920
to kick us off though, well
real quick, shit, you're going because

667
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,599
you weren't here for two thousand and
seven. Shawn, and I did that.

668
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,159
I don't know if you want me
to. I want to get your

669
00:42:17,159 --> 00:42:21,199
reactions. Maybe you kind of should
put it in your master doc also,

670
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,599
right, yeah, I'll do that. Let me get that going here.

671
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:28,719
I meant to bring that up anyhow. Yeah, I thought you guys were

672
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,519
pretty close. I mean, you
were wrong, but you were close.

673
00:42:31,639 --> 00:42:36,320
Well, we had so number one, we had Mario Galaxy, even even

674
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,679
though the tides are turning against that
game, Jeff right, No, not

675
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:44,840
really. Two was called Judy four
Modern Warfare. Three was BioShock, four

676
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,840
was Persona. Three, five was
Portal. I mean, come on people

677
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:51,400
are mad about Halo three. I
don't know what you were mad about.

678
00:42:51,559 --> 00:42:53,039
I think remember I wasn't. I
don't think I was mad about anything.

679
00:42:53,039 --> 00:42:57,000
You guys, you were so mad
and I was like, calm down,

680
00:42:57,119 --> 00:43:00,519
yes, yes you're hurting me,
and you just throw my list. But

681
00:43:00,559 --> 00:43:01,519
I don't know if I can remember
it off the top man only so I

682
00:43:01,559 --> 00:43:06,519
could find it real quick. Crackdown
on there as one of Oh that's yeah,

683
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,159
yeah, that's that's a good one. I think you also had this

684
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:13,199
because me and Mike got ship for
putting Persona three on there and stuff of

685
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,559
Mass Effect. Oh yeah, we
didn't put mass Efect one on there.

686
00:43:15,599 --> 00:43:20,199
Well you know, yeah, we
put the Bearer game out there instead,

687
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,400
so you know it happens, all
right. Yeah, that's pretty close to

688
00:43:23,519 --> 00:43:27,679
I think what my list was.
Yeah. I like crack Down a lot,

689
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,440
so I'm not surprised I put it
there. But I'm also not surprised

690
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,480
that you guys didn't. I mean, if I would have talked to that

691
00:43:32,559 --> 00:43:36,480
with Mike, I'm sure it wouldn't
have made the top five either. But

692
00:43:36,599 --> 00:43:38,159
mass Effect I would have fought for
that one. I like Mass time.

693
00:43:38,199 --> 00:43:42,480
People were mad at me for not
giving Halo three loves just because they didn't

694
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,920
play that much. Fit Wait till
we get to Halo Reach, a game

695
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:50,039
I did play and I didn't really
care. We'll see what they think about

696
00:43:50,119 --> 00:43:53,800
that. It will see what they
think about that. Halo three is just

697
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,880
but my gosh, I was playing
Call of Duty that year. I'm sorry,

698
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,280
and that's just what happened, and
iologize, but I don't actually apologize.

699
00:44:02,039 --> 00:44:06,000
All right, I'll get the master
doc here updated with that here in

700
00:44:06,039 --> 00:44:08,159
a second. But let's start two
thousand and eight. Mike, what do

701
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,800
you have in line for this year? All right? Well, okay,

702
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,239
we talked about Persona three, which, because of the longer localizition for three

703
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:20,719
and then the relatively fast localizition for
four, Persona four was just this year

704
00:44:21,039 --> 00:44:23,039
in the US, which is so
funny to me to think that in the

705
00:44:23,159 --> 00:44:27,440
US we got two Persona games back
to back, and now it's like a

706
00:44:27,519 --> 00:44:30,480
matter of like twelve years or whatever
it is before you get a new one.

707
00:44:30,639 --> 00:44:37,239
Persona four is my favorite entry in
the series still. I think it

708
00:44:37,679 --> 00:44:42,000
improves a lot of things. I
think it's a more likable cast of characters.

709
00:44:42,199 --> 00:44:45,800
I dig the suburban of vibes a
bit more. I think even the

710
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:52,199
music is better. Still one of
my all time favorite JRPGs. I do

711
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,599
think Golden improved things, obviously,
but it's not as much that needed to

712
00:44:55,639 --> 00:45:00,239
be improved as even Base Persona three
a lot of stuff or did just work

713
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:05,400
pretty well out of the gate.
Gosh, just like in this game is

714
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:07,800
right, this is just this is
just straight up Persona four. Just straight

715
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:12,880
up Persona four. Okay, cool, it's straight up Persona four. Yep,

716
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,320
one of mine, one of my
favorites. It is a even like

717
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:20,840
even though like this is such a
jerofyg like jerrpg, it's like the one

718
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,480
I like want people to play and
if that isn't necessarily their thing, because

719
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:27,119
I think it can really suck you
in. There's a lot about this game

720
00:45:27,159 --> 00:45:31,559
that's just very memorable, very special. It really late PlayStation two game,

721
00:45:31,559 --> 00:45:34,480
which is like, cool, we're
in two thousand and eight, this is

722
00:45:34,519 --> 00:45:36,960
a PlayStation two game and it was
one of the best games that year.

723
00:45:37,039 --> 00:45:39,960
That's really neat. Yeah. I
am like, I'm like looking at this

724
00:45:40,039 --> 00:45:44,760
year and there's a lot of big
games, but not many that like really

725
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:45,800
hit super hard for me. And
I'm like trying to make sure all these

726
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:50,039
came out this year, but I'm
I think I will go with Fallout three.

727
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,599
I like Fallout three a lot,
and I'm pretty sure that was two

728
00:45:53,639 --> 00:45:59,440
thousand and eight. Yeah, fallow
three was kind of on the first Western

729
00:45:59,559 --> 00:46:02,840
RPGs I really played. I had
not done that much in that genre before,

730
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:07,599
and I got really sucked into follow
three. I thought it was a

731
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:12,360
ton of fun, big world to
explore, some interesting choices that you can

732
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,559
make, kind of getting you know, even making your character a lot of

733
00:46:15,679 --> 00:46:19,000
fun. I haven't played a while. I don't know how it's aged.

734
00:46:19,039 --> 00:46:21,800
I bet maybe in some ways not
great. I don't care. That playing

735
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,599
that back in two thousand and eight
was a very exciting time. Yeah.

736
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:30,280
I played this game to death and
just had a great time. I love

737
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:35,199
the setting of the you know,
the East coast around Washington, DC area

738
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:42,000
and discovering a lot of those great
those monuments and seeing them in the game,

739
00:46:42,039 --> 00:46:47,000
and it's like it's it is but
as the visuals so it looks dingy,

740
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:51,960
but it fits with the Fallout in
a lot of ways. And I

741
00:46:52,199 --> 00:46:53,719
don't know, I found that environment
to be very very fun to explore,

742
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:58,480
and yeah, it's a it's a
memorable game with a lot of cool characters.

743
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:04,679
So yeah, follow three play is
up there for me. Mirrors Edge

744
00:47:05,159 --> 00:47:07,840
two thousand and eight. This is
like in terms of like aging, I

745
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:14,400
think this game is actually just aged
incredibly well. Every time I play this

746
00:47:14,559 --> 00:47:17,400
game, I have such a good
time. It's a really snappy, fast

747
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:21,079
placed game, fast paced game,
not super long, but just a ton

748
00:47:21,159 --> 00:47:27,320
of fun to play multiple times.
It's still gorgeous, very stylized, just

749
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:32,239
making that first person movement a ton
of fun. I love Mirror's Edge incredible

750
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:37,480
soundtrack. This is the game with
the actual better still alive. I'm sorry,

751
00:47:37,599 --> 00:47:42,440
Portal love Mirror's Edge one of my
favorites. Yeah. I like this

752
00:47:42,519 --> 00:47:45,000
game a lot too, and I
after you played it with the updates on

753
00:47:45,159 --> 00:47:46,960
Xbox, I went back to play
it as well. It's like, oh,

754
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:51,119
it's really well done, and you're
right, that helps it stand out

755
00:47:51,159 --> 00:47:54,519
how much it's not aged. The
design is just so strong. It's got

756
00:47:54,639 --> 00:47:59,400
like indie game vibes in terms of
like its scope. I think like a

757
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,199
game like this to come out today, it's an indie game, it would

758
00:48:01,199 --> 00:48:04,760
just take over for a lot of
people. I mean, there are a

759
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,000
lot of indie games, right,
yeah, ghost Like this feels like ghost

760
00:48:07,039 --> 00:48:10,280
Runner these days, and it's like, yeah, that's really a really cool

761
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:14,199
thing, man, And like ea
setting that tone back then, this was

762
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,280
like under gen RICCARDI too, and
it was like a lot of interesting games

763
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,639
they were trying. It didn't all
hit. A lot of it didn't work

764
00:48:19,679 --> 00:48:22,760
for them. But I'm glad they
tried these things because I like this game

765
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:24,039
a lot too, love it a
ton. I think it's made a big

766
00:48:24,079 --> 00:48:30,880
impact on the industry. Yeah,
I man, it's it's tough because I

767
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,440
like a lot of these games,
but I don't know if I like hold

768
00:48:32,519 --> 00:48:37,159
them in a super high regard anymore. But I'm gonna go with this one.

769
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,559
I don't know, I think you
don't like this franchise too much.

770
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,039
I don't think you dislike it,
but I think it's Left for Dead.

771
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,920
I played a lot of Left for
Dead. Yeah, I like Left for

772
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,280
Dead one. I thought, yeah, you're right, I'm not quite as

773
00:48:50,559 --> 00:48:53,239
excited about it as some people.
But I'm not gonna disparage Left for Dead

774
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,960
or anything. I get it.
And it was a It was at that

775
00:48:57,039 --> 00:49:00,920
point when Valve was the best they
ever were, the year before this was

776
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:05,320
the Orange Box coming off with like
the half like two stuff Team Fortress two

777
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,400
and Portal, and then they also
did this. It was incredible, yes,

778
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:15,760
and it is like one of those
early games, those early cooperative multiplayer

779
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:20,199
games that you could play over and
over and over again. And it took

780
00:49:20,199 --> 00:49:22,320
a while for the rest of the
industry to like get to that point,

781
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,559
but Valve kind of nailed it right
away with this, and it's one of

782
00:49:24,559 --> 00:49:28,239
those ones where it could be appointment
gaming. Every week you sit down with

783
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,159
your friends, you've gotta play Left
for Dead. And yeah, it was.

784
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:38,039
It's really excellent Braid. Yeah,
I think I still think of I

785
00:49:38,079 --> 00:49:44,440
don't know, maybe this is my
perception. Braid was important for the idea

786
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:51,880
of nods in digital distribution, kind
of helping each other become huge. I

787
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:53,920
think it was a big deal for
two D games in general, two D

788
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:58,599
platforms anyways, having something of a
comeback, right. There was just a

789
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,760
ton of buzz for this game,
and it was really interesting. Right,

790
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,760
It's like one of those first like, oh, like it's a two D

791
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,119
game, but it's somewhat subversive and
like the art style is not what you're

792
00:50:07,159 --> 00:50:10,039
expecting. But it's familiar. The
music's not what you're expecting, but it's

793
00:50:10,079 --> 00:50:15,159
familiar, right, And just all
the actual like time like rewind or whatever,

794
00:50:15,639 --> 00:50:20,119
slowed down puzzles, they were all
a lot of fun. I don't

795
00:50:20,159 --> 00:50:22,119
know. I adore Braid. It
left a big impact on me. I'm

796
00:50:22,119 --> 00:50:24,920
still actually pretty excited for that remaster. I'm glad it finally got reannounced.

797
00:50:25,599 --> 00:50:30,199
Yeah, I've tried it before.
It just never clicked with me. I

798
00:50:30,559 --> 00:50:34,119
don't love the way it looks personally, but it's not. I mean again,

799
00:50:34,159 --> 00:50:36,320
it's not like a hate thing.
It's just like, I look at

800
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:37,440
this, I don't feel much of
an affinity for the way it looks.

801
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:42,840
But I'm gonna give it a shot. And I love the Witness And I

802
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,559
don't love Jonathan Blow, but like
at least one of his games. Oh

803
00:50:45,639 --> 00:50:51,039
yeah, a whole bunch. But
I'll give Brad a chance. I'm aware

804
00:50:51,039 --> 00:50:52,639
of like the twist of Braid and
all that stuff too, and that makes

805
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:55,280
me more compelled, makes me want
to play it more twist. I mean,

806
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:58,440
it was interesting. I think it
gets a little overblown, Like that's

807
00:50:58,519 --> 00:51:01,199
not why the game is good,
right, there's a lot to it.

808
00:51:04,079 --> 00:51:07,559
I like this game a lot.
I wonder how far I'm gonna be able

809
00:51:07,559 --> 00:51:12,159
to get up the list. Banjo
KAZUOI nuts and Bolts like this game a

810
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,800
ton. Yes, it's really actually, it's probably the best three D platformer

811
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:22,119
on the three sixty. It's got
that great building mechanic that the Zelda Here's

812
00:51:22,119 --> 00:51:25,840
the Kingdom just straight up took the
wholesale. It's a really cool and interesting

813
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:30,360
game, and it's one of those
ones that also has actually aged pretty well

814
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:34,039
because of the all of the backward
compatibility stuff in the FPS boost. It

815
00:51:34,119 --> 00:51:37,760
looks great if you go back and
play this now. Yeah, good luck,

816
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:43,599
come half fun, Space half Fun. I guess that Space one.

817
00:51:43,679 --> 00:51:45,639
Jeff, this is the kind of
the other EA like new franchise here.

818
00:51:47,119 --> 00:51:52,199
Even then, I thought this game
was a ton of fun. The first

819
00:51:52,199 --> 00:51:55,079
thing I think of is the hud
right, because that really did stand out

820
00:51:55,119 --> 00:52:00,360
here. It was really cool.
The atmosphere fantastic. It really did capture

821
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:05,679
those kind of alien like, you
know, the space station creepiness. The

822
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,159
cutting off the limbs was a ton
of fun. It was a very pretty

823
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,519
game. I was a big Dead
Space fan. I know, I haven't

824
00:52:10,599 --> 00:52:13,880
gotten to play the rema yet.
I have to at some point. It's

825
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:15,599
our game club game. We're going
to talk about it at the at some

826
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:21,159
point here at the end of December. But even the original I thought that

827
00:52:21,679 --> 00:52:25,000
was a standout for that generation.
Yeah, I was going to play that

828
00:52:25,559 --> 00:52:30,599
remake and then my mouse and keyboard
stopped working in the game, and I

829
00:52:30,679 --> 00:52:31,400
just gave up. I'm like,
Okay, I'm gonna come back to this

830
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:34,880
game when this game is fixed.
And maybe it's fixed now for me,

831
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,039
but I've not checked. I haven't
played much Dead Space. I remember when

832
00:52:38,079 --> 00:52:40,360
it first came out. I played, I booted up, and I was

833
00:52:40,639 --> 00:52:44,920
pretty scared of it. So I
had a hard time staying coward cowardly,

834
00:52:45,039 --> 00:52:46,880
yes, exactly, nothing against it. Once again, this was like in

835
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,679
my big coward phase. But for
some reason I was able to play all

836
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:52,960
deads. It's just really cool,
I mean it is. Yeah, it's

837
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,880
really fun. It's really cool.
I think that's right, exactly right.

838
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,440
Let me ask you about a couple
of games real quick. How do you

839
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:01,960
feel about Grand Theft Auto four?
Yeah, I was wondering about that.

840
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:05,880
Oh look, I've never a big
Grand Theft Auto guy, and four is

841
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,239
weird to me because it seems to
be in between, like that Original Placeation

842
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:13,320
two trilogy, which is groundbreaking,
and then five, which is the biggest

843
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:15,239
game ever. Then in the middle
here's Grand Theft Otto four, which was

844
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:19,519
a you know, sold a ton
of copies. It was a big deal.

845
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,519
Yeah, there it is. I
don't know, that's I'm not much.

846
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:27,679
I know a lot of people who
like prefer Grand Theft Auto four,

847
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,880
but I wish to me it always
seemed like that was a game they played

848
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:34,400
in a certain place in time,
that sort of thing, And I mean

849
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:38,639
I get that, but that was
not me. Middle Gear Solid for Guns

850
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:44,320
of the Patriots. How do you
feel about that? Yeah, look,

851
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:50,639
I like that game. It's a
very indulgent game. Right in some ways,

852
00:53:50,679 --> 00:53:53,719
it's not even a good game.
Uh, the bounce is off,

853
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:57,960
Like I get what they're going for
it, Like the cuts into gameplay ratio

854
00:53:58,199 --> 00:54:02,079
is actually kind of insane that it
leadings that heavily towards cutting. It's a

855
00:54:02,119 --> 00:54:07,960
shame because the gameplay in it is
really good. It's a really neat evolution

856
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:12,239
of some of Metal Gear Solid three's
better mechanics. You just don't actually get

857
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:15,159
to do that much of that stuff. And you know, the game is

858
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:20,440
kind of bogged down a bit of
having to tie all these loose sins together

859
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:22,760
from those games, and it like
does manage to do it somehow, and

860
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:27,800
that is impressive and it has some
really satisfying moments in the story there.

861
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,440
See. I like it. It's
a good game, but it's a little

862
00:54:30,559 --> 00:54:34,760
messy for me to consider like one
of the best. And then Gears of

863
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:38,800
War two. Yeah, look,
I don't know, and iver I think

864
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:40,639
of Gears of War, I think
about the first one and then the other

865
00:54:40,679 --> 00:54:45,000
ones. But yeah, they made
sequels and they were bigger for sure,

866
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,280
and maybe better in some ways,
but they just never left an impact on

867
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:52,400
me like that first one did.
I'm I'm like realizing what happened to me

868
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,719
this year when and like why I
missed so many of these games. I

869
00:54:55,159 --> 00:54:58,559
mean I played a ton of Call
of Duty World War and I was playing

870
00:54:58,559 --> 00:55:00,360
a ton of Call of Duty four
Modern War Warfare. That's the biggest thing.

871
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:05,840
But the game I was most anticipating
was Spore. That was the thing

872
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:09,480
that I could not wait for.
That was this year. Boy. I

873
00:55:09,599 --> 00:55:14,239
was just I bought hook Line and
Sinker all of those promises and was just

874
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,079
like, this is going to be
the forever game. I was so ready.

875
00:55:17,119 --> 00:55:21,320
I wrote, like some blogs on
one up about how it's like going

876
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,280
to be mind blowing, and I
was crying just thinking about the pitch of

877
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:28,719
the game, and then I played
it. It's okay, It's just it's

878
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:34,559
fine. It's reality sets in real
fast with sports to real factually do in

879
00:55:34,679 --> 00:55:38,159
two thousand and eight. Huh yep, absolutely so. Yeah four not going

880
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:42,239
to be in the top five.
I always wish it was better. I

881
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:44,559
don't know. Some other ones came
out later, and I think I had

882
00:55:44,639 --> 00:55:46,000
more gamey ass game stuff, and
then I never even really gave those a

883
00:55:46,079 --> 00:55:50,400
try. The game that I most
regret not playing on this list is far

884
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:53,920
Cry Too, which has a lot
of like proto breadth of the wild kind

885
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:57,159
of stuff in it that I'm like, I wish I would experience that.

886
00:55:57,360 --> 00:55:59,840
But yeah, I don't know.
I don't have a ton of other stuff

887
00:56:00,079 --> 00:56:01,320
we ad for this year. There's
some things like Rock Band two. I'd

888
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:05,480
be okay with the mean yeah,
episently, Yeah, it was very good.

889
00:56:05,679 --> 00:56:07,960
We're not gonna say anything for two
Human no too Human Love. Yeah,

890
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,719
I was gonna I was gonna bring
up Too Human as well. Honestly,

891
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,679
you know what the game I would
put up there because I really enjoyed

892
00:56:13,679 --> 00:56:15,880
it when it came out. Mega
Man nine. Oh, I've meant to

893
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:19,880
bring up Mega Man nine. Mega
Man nine rules. Mega Man nine.

894
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:22,920
That's a really really fun game.
It was kind of one of the uh,

895
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:27,719
at least in mimory, one of
the first retro throwbacks, right or

896
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,760
the whole point is like we're just
gonna make another one, like it wasn't

897
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:34,719
any s game again. Actually we
get that all the time now. We

898
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,719
actually we actually got by the Commando
Rearmed that year as well. Yes,

899
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:39,119
very pertician. Yeah, it was
good. Mega Man nine, Megmat nine

900
00:56:39,199 --> 00:56:42,800
is just one of the best Mega
Man games. It was even like I

901
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:45,599
was even surprised out there, like
we're gonna go back to like Mega Man

902
00:56:45,679 --> 00:56:49,320
two. Not only are we not
going to have the like the Megabuster charging,

903
00:56:49,559 --> 00:56:52,719
we're not gonna even have the slide. That's how devoted we are to

904
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,360
being specifically like that Mega Man and
that was Mega Man. It was cool

905
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:59,480
to like pulled themselves back like that. They made a really fun game around

906
00:56:59,679 --> 00:57:02,400
this limited tool set. It's awesome. Yeah, I'm glad you brought that

907
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:08,480
up. One other kind of like
indie game here Castle Crashers. I liked

908
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:14,960
Castles a lot, man, I
actually I would like to replay that game.

909
00:57:15,199 --> 00:57:16,159
Yeah, it was a super fun
game. This is that time where

910
00:57:16,199 --> 00:57:19,920
beat them up. We're having a
rough go of it, so it's exciting

911
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,719
to have a fun beat them up
again. I played a ton of Castles,

912
00:57:23,079 --> 00:57:28,679
really fun four player game. Also, it was good stuff. Hey,

913
00:57:28,719 --> 00:57:30,400
look, Fable two is the best
Fable still, probably not enough to

914
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:34,440
be in the top five, but
if you had to make me play a

915
00:57:34,519 --> 00:57:38,559
Fable game, I would like for
it to be Fable too. I suppose

916
00:57:40,079 --> 00:57:43,760
Mike, I got a bunch of
input from the podcast producers. You want

917
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:45,599
me to start reading some of them, or you know what, World of

918
00:57:45,639 --> 00:57:49,840
Goo. I like that game.
That's one that I'm like, I played

919
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,400
it so many times in so many
places. Then it's like it's effect on

920
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:57,840
me faded over time. Sure,
it's kind I never ain affinity for a

921
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,880
World of Few. I remember listening
into Exploding Barrel back at this time and

922
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:06,199
uh, and you being like,
yeah, but we're talking about real games

923
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:12,199
when we were talking about Yeah,
but I liked Braid, like I think

924
00:58:12,239 --> 00:58:15,280
Braids started to change that but it
was like until that point, it was

925
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:19,239
like maybe even with Braid, it
might have been like, well, yeah,

926
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,599
but that can't be game of the
year, like that sort of thing.

927
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:25,119
Uh, because it was a thing. I'm pretty sure I said far

928
00:58:25,199 --> 00:58:28,920
kright or follow three is my game
of the year back then? Yeah?

929
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,079
Absolutely, yeah, I can imagine
myself being a shitter like that. Oh

930
00:58:31,159 --> 00:58:36,800
my god, we're really starting with
this from Jack Jack Binks. Not everyone's

931
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,039
favorite Smash, but I loved my
time with it, especially the cut scenes

932
00:58:39,079 --> 00:58:44,719
in the Subspace Emissary, Super Smash
Brothers Brawl. Yeah. Look, Smashburg's

933
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:46,639
is so good. Smashbura's melee was
so good that even if you go in

934
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:51,679
and deliberately make it worse, it's
still pretty good. But I am still

935
00:58:51,719 --> 00:58:57,400
going to resent you for what you
did. Uh. Craners mcbasketball says World

936
00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:00,440
of Warcraft Wrath of the lich King. I thought about this because it's an

937
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:06,639
expansion. It is World Warcrest's best
expansion probably. It was very cool.

938
00:59:06,679 --> 00:59:07,719
It was a ton of fun.
I don't know if I'm really gonna play

939
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:10,280
on the top five just expansion.
It's always a little weird, Like I

940
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:15,159
have somebody who like, you know, would not want to make a Phantom

941
00:59:15,199 --> 00:59:16,320
Liberty Game of the Year, even
though most people seem to be fine with

942
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:21,519
that. Was like nor Yeah,
conveniently also don't like cyberpunk at all.

943
00:59:21,639 --> 00:59:25,960
Yeah, so that game's fucking boring, right, but that's fine whatever.

944
00:59:27,559 --> 00:59:31,599
Rahos very very good. Boulder the
Bouldergate Wolf five says two thousand and eight

945
00:59:31,719 --> 00:59:37,440
is my year. If there are
three franchises I'm unfairly by unfairly biased toward.

946
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:40,039
It's Grand Theft, Auto, Metal
Gear and Super Smash Brothers. Two

947
00:59:40,039 --> 00:59:44,159
thousand and eight gave me all three
of my babies. Just let one of

948
00:59:44,159 --> 00:59:46,280
the men, guys, please,
these are some of the best games ever

949
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:52,159
made. So Grand theftought Stresh Brothers
for All and Metal Gear Solid four they

950
00:59:52,239 --> 00:59:54,559
aren't maybe maybe GTA four and I'll
just be like, that's not my thing.

951
00:59:54,920 --> 01:00:00,840
I like Smash Brothers and Metal Gear
Solid. No, they aren't good.

952
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:07,079
I'm sorry disappoint you. You'll get
nothing and you'll like it. Oh

953
01:00:07,199 --> 01:00:09,599
my god, what is what?
Everybody? It's the children, Mike,

954
01:00:09,679 --> 01:00:13,000
it's the children. Who are the
children? I get it. It was

955
01:00:13,039 --> 01:00:16,639
your first Smash Brothers. Man Bench
jac says I don't get the Brawl hate.

956
01:00:16,719 --> 01:00:20,480
It may be because it's the Smash
game I grew up on, but

957
01:00:20,599 --> 01:00:23,280
I always had a blast when I'm
playing this with friends. Also, subspace

958
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:30,960
is incredible. Yeah, Subspace is
cool. I goes, sure, Hey,

959
01:00:30,039 --> 01:00:35,519
Jeff, you see what's happening on
The guy who doesn't like items and

960
01:00:35,679 --> 01:00:38,280
Smash is all hating on Brawl.
Weird how that works? Yeah, because

961
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:44,599
that's the character's slower and float here
and by the way, introduced a mechanic

962
01:00:44,679 --> 01:00:51,719
where characters randomly fall down. Yes, but you're looking at a skill.

963
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:55,199
You're just hardening in on the negatives. Look at the greater, big negative.

964
01:00:57,199 --> 01:01:01,079
It's a pretty big negative. Please
continue before I die. I'm like

965
01:01:01,199 --> 01:01:04,320
trying to, like, I'm trying
to think of a way that we can

966
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,840
make Mike play Super Smash for the
Brawl like NonStop for a month on Giant

967
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:09,480
Bomb. I'll come up with something. It would feel so bad, a

968
01:01:09,679 --> 01:01:14,960
piece of shit. Bop Uh says
I'll be I'll be the first to dominate

969
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:21,320
a good game. I guess it. Finally was able to succe Fable one

970
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:24,760
promised He's not wrong. Fable two
actually better than any games. Okay,

971
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:30,039
maybe not better than Be Your sod
for but all while improving gameplay, the

972
01:01:30,079 --> 01:01:32,639
world environments, and giving it even
more freedom and choice. Also easily the

973
01:01:32,679 --> 01:01:37,280
best dog mechanics in a game outside
of the Ten Dogs. Oh yeah,

974
01:01:37,559 --> 01:01:39,559
Fable two is actually fun. Fable
two was actually a good game. Then

975
01:01:39,599 --> 01:01:46,000
they ruined it with Fable three and
then really went off the rails. Jackie

976
01:01:46,039 --> 01:01:50,760
g says it's incredibly unbalanced and far
from my favorite. But Mario Kartwee is

977
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:53,960
a chaotic blast. It's the most
Mario party like game in the series,

978
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:55,719
and for that alone, there's a
lot, a lot of fun to be

979
01:01:55,800 --> 01:02:00,840
had. Mary kurt Wee was was
actually a very good That was a good

980
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:04,599
Mario Kart. Jeff Jeff never played
that much of this, and you know

981
01:02:04,719 --> 01:02:09,119
me, I'm not necessarily any Vegas
Mario Kart player anyway, so casual with

982
01:02:09,199 --> 01:02:14,039
one that I am going to put
on the list written. I love,

983
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:16,920
love, love this game. It's
really good. On the DS they did,

984
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:21,000
they had a lot of it is
like tapping the screen, but they

985
01:02:21,039 --> 01:02:23,800
had this really good flick mechanic where
you tap and then flick and that's like

986
01:02:24,199 --> 01:02:28,599
like a two part rhythm, and
that feels so good. Don't get too

987
01:02:28,639 --> 01:02:30,119
excited. This game came out in
the US in two thousand and nine.

988
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:34,000
All right, there we go.
Fantastic. Good to know, Remember next,

989
01:02:34,199 --> 01:02:37,039
Remember next, next time. Alex
is hell of a year in gaming

990
01:02:37,119 --> 01:02:43,679
for me. Solid Lego titles about
Valkyria Chronicles Fallout three, but unfortunately I'm

991
01:02:43,719 --> 01:02:51,719
a weeb. Soudo Ultimate Ney Rudo
Nerudo Ultimate Ninja Storm was amazing at the

992
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:53,880
time and was received so well by
fans that anime games were cursed to be

993
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:58,880
this style fighter for years to come. Let's overuse now this fighter time.

994
01:02:59,079 --> 01:03:01,880
This first time with there was great
and the story was recreated very well.

995
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:07,599
Yeah. I do remember people talking
about this fondly and I'm like, what,

996
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,719
it's just one of those three D
Arena brawlers, But apparently this is

997
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:14,960
the reason they're all three D Arena
brawlers. Well, I'm convinced it's better

998
01:03:15,039 --> 01:03:19,280
than Smash Brother's Brawl. It was
the first one to look like like the

999
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:24,400
anime actually like the oh, it's
like this is yeah, it's just incredible.

1000
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:28,119
Yeah, this also, it was
great. I just remembered a game

1001
01:03:28,159 --> 01:03:30,599
I meant to bring up. I'm
gonna be curious to see if anybody in

1002
01:03:30,679 --> 01:03:31,800
the disport brings it up, you'll
get a gold star if you do.

1003
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:36,360
Now, mister Bowler says, maybe
not among the best year of gaming,

1004
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:37,679
but two thousand and eight still has
some heavy hitters. For me, the

1005
01:03:37,719 --> 01:03:42,280
best game of two thousand and eight
is Fallout three, although I also really

1006
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,519
enjoyed Grand Theft Auto four at the
time. You know, we maybe are

1007
01:03:45,599 --> 01:03:49,159
being a little dismissive of Grand Theft
Auto four, Like I get a lot

1008
01:03:49,199 --> 01:03:50,880
of people do, like any you
know, in a lot of ways,

1009
01:03:51,239 --> 01:03:53,559
Grand Theft Auto four is the most
Grand Theft Auto game right, Like I

1010
01:03:53,719 --> 01:03:58,880
do think of Liberty City first and
foremost. It's a pretty pure gryd the

1011
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:02,800
Oft Auto experience. And I do
get and appreciate all that I did in

1012
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:06,440
UH. In our slack today on
John Bomb, I did write Grand JEFFT

1013
01:04:06,519 --> 01:04:11,360
Auto UH, and I'm like,
mostly did that because I was thinking I

1014
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:14,480
should go back and place San Andreas. But I wouldn't mind replaying four as

1015
01:04:14,519 --> 01:04:16,800
well, So I don't know,
I do want to go back and like

1016
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:21,079
see these games again so I can
really like place them because great up thought

1017
01:04:21,079 --> 01:04:24,440
A four just like existed so much
of that time and then I moved on

1018
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:29,079
and left it hard in the past
and didn't think about it much. What

1019
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:32,280
what weird like sexy girl on a
GTA covered Do you think about more the

1020
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:38,440
son andreas? Uh, bikini girl, this girl licking that sucker on four

1021
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:44,079
or like the uh the girl bending
down showing her cleavage and uh in five

1022
01:04:44,199 --> 01:04:46,000
or diet I think about the sucker. I think about sucker Girl. Yeah,

1023
01:04:46,239 --> 01:04:51,239
you think about Sucker Girl a lot. Okay, yes I do that.

1024
01:04:51,239 --> 01:04:54,239
It's beef Hammer. Of course I'm
being cotrolled by him. Alright,

1025
01:04:54,239 --> 01:04:58,079
go ahead read beef Hammers without a
doubt, the best game in the series.

1026
01:04:58,119 --> 01:05:00,559
And yes, this comes from a
two time CHAMPI camera, all right,

1027
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:03,960
let me explain why the rest are
worse. Smash sixty four good but

1028
01:05:04,159 --> 01:05:08,840
was improved upon Melee, I suck
at it. Smash four it's on the

1029
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:13,159
WIU and Ultimate includes Sora from Kingdom
Hearts. This is a really good points.

1030
01:05:13,199 --> 01:05:16,079
Beef As are all terrible place and
this is why Super Smash Brothers Brawl

1031
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:20,199
is the best game of two thousand
and eight. Apparently, flobotronsis two thousand

1032
01:05:20,199 --> 01:05:24,559
and eight fresh out of high school. Fuck you and the last games convention

1033
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:28,800
in Leipzig, where I scored an
internship at EA to make my dream come

1034
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:32,239
true and work in the industry.
Trademark didn't stay in the industry beyond that,

1035
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:35,000
but I got a free copy of
Battlefield Bad Company, and that game

1036
01:05:35,079 --> 01:05:39,719
was pretty dope, maybe the last
time Dice made a fun Battlefield campaign,

1037
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:44,280
and the destruction engine was also super
fun and multiplayer. Yeah, I played

1038
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:45,119
this game, and I thought about
putting it on the list, but I

1039
01:05:45,559 --> 01:05:47,760
didn't play enough of it and don't
love it the way a lot of people

1040
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:50,960
do. I It's just one of
the ones I'd missed for some reason,

1041
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:54,880
which is because, Yeah, people
talk about how much I love that company.

1042
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:58,519
I always want to go back to
it someday, but fortunately I don't

1043
01:05:58,559 --> 01:06:02,920
have anything to say about it.
Joy two Zy World for Zelda. They

1044
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:05,800
come says I'm a big van of
dead Space, but it might be just

1045
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:11,000
because I'm a sucker for the diegetic
interface, which we definitely already talked about.

1046
01:06:11,199 --> 01:06:14,199
Also, shooting the limbs off of
monsters was pretty novel at the time.

1047
01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:16,039
Yeah, for sure. I mean, I guess shooting them off.

1048
01:06:16,039 --> 01:06:18,360
I was gonna say you could shot
limbs and resume four to affect them,

1049
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:21,000
but you could shoot limbs in like
Goldene and they would react, but I

1050
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:24,920
don't know if they had gameplay Impotentially, this was like such a big part

1051
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:27,280
of it, and it felt so
satisfaying just the way that one gun worked,

1052
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:31,159
whereas like horizontal prime vertical line it
felt fantastic. Yep. Doctor Ryan

1053
01:06:31,199 --> 01:06:33,360
says, I don't know if you
count expansions, but Wrath of the lich

1054
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:38,079
King is in two thousand and eight
and was and still will be the greatest

1055
01:06:38,079 --> 01:06:41,719
expansion to any game MMO or not
to ever be made. Barring that,

1056
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:45,280
I would vote for Fallout three.
Sledge reinholds this. Two thousand and eight

1057
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:47,559
was when I left home for college, and I didn't bring a TV or

1058
01:06:47,639 --> 01:06:50,159
console with me, so I missed
most of the games from that year.

1059
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:54,760
I didn't play the original Dead Space
until earlier this year, before the release

1060
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:57,559
of the remake, but I was
honestly shocked at hell well it held up

1061
01:06:57,559 --> 01:07:00,840
for a fourteen year old game.
The art direction in atmosphere are still incredible

1062
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:03,280
in the diegetic UI hasn't really been
done as well anywhere else. It's my

1063
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:06,679
two thousand and eight game of twenty
twenty three. Look at all of our

1064
01:07:06,719 --> 01:07:13,920
supporters with their big fancy college where
it's diagetic. Also shout out to Mer's

1065
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:15,960
Edge for still being one of the
best feeling games ever made. It's got

1066
01:07:16,679 --> 01:07:20,519
the juice. It's got so much
juice. Yes, tons of jews.

1067
01:07:20,639 --> 01:07:26,559
I mean EA had. It's incredible
how EA was making very juicy games at

1068
01:07:26,599 --> 01:07:30,239
this time. I think they went
sharply downhill almost immediately after this, but

1069
01:07:31,199 --> 01:07:33,920
it is a pretty good year for
you. It's just when they acquired PopCap

1070
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:36,719
as well, so they got one
of the juicies games from them in pegoles.

1071
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:41,880
So yeah, right, going for
it. Razzal Jazzled Subspace is still

1072
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:45,119
my favorite gameplay slash mode in any
smash game, just beating out Melee's adventure

1073
01:07:45,159 --> 01:07:48,119
Mode. I also love the mini
game where you shoot coins and trophies and

1074
01:07:48,239 --> 01:07:51,719
the stage creator that said there's already
enough love for Brawl in this thread.

1075
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:57,440
Yes much, there's too much love. So I'd like to give a shout

1076
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:00,559
out to we Wear Classic World of
Goo and Incredible, an incredibly creative little

1077
01:08:00,599 --> 01:08:04,519
indie puzzle game. Yeah it is. Well. Also this year, I

1078
01:08:04,599 --> 01:08:08,079
think I take Boom Blocks over World
of Good. Well, I went to

1079
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:12,599
different. Yeah, but Boom Boom
blocks is really fun. How the Grinch

1080
01:08:12,679 --> 01:08:15,279
stole spoon. Heaven says if you
shake it more than twice, you're playing

1081
01:08:15,359 --> 01:08:18,760
with it, and that's a reference
to Warrior Land shake it as well as

1082
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:24,000
penises. It's also a reference to
penises. I really regret not playing this

1083
01:08:24,079 --> 01:08:26,439
game back in the beginning. I
remember it was like I think, just

1084
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:29,720
like with Warrio World, it got
like media reviews, probably because it wasn't

1085
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:31,640
very long, but who knows.
But you look at this game now,

1086
01:08:32,039 --> 01:08:35,720
this is the best a two D
game from Nintendo's maybe ever looked. It's

1087
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:40,720
the one time where they just like, yeah, we'll just like use animation

1088
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:44,760
cells right, like like what like
a lot of indies do for stuff like

1089
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:49,479
those Monster Boy games or whatever.
So this game still looks fantastic. This

1090
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:53,239
would be a great game to get, kind of a HD five that would

1091
01:08:53,239 --> 01:08:56,920
look fantastic. Yeah, that'd be
really cool. Real quick, we got

1092
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:59,880
a relevant super chat from Bench if
you want to read it, and from

1093
01:09:00,079 --> 01:09:02,399
Ninton Derek. This is Bench.
I'm giving you money so I can yell

1094
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:08,359
the brawl hate is insane. Also, I was four, Yeah, I

1095
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:11,960
trust me. I've pieced it together. I know why you all like brawls,

1096
01:09:12,319 --> 01:09:16,479
but Derek says Super Smash Bears Brawl
should be on the list. It

1097
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:20,439
had the best single player campaign of
any fighting game until Street Fighters came out

1098
01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:28,439
this year. Yeah. I think
every Mortal, every all those newer Mortal

1099
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:31,000
Kombats had better single player campaigns.
It's not even remote you get. You

1100
01:09:31,119 --> 01:09:34,239
shut the fuck up this podcast.
Where are you talking about, Mike?

1101
01:09:34,359 --> 01:09:38,840
You were there. They suck.
I'm gonna play subscription, sir. You

1102
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:44,039
don't like the little caps They're fun, No, they're you can Actually I

1103
01:09:44,119 --> 01:09:45,880
played through all of it just now, and I'll say the only good one

1104
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:50,720
is Mortal Kombat one. Yes,
thank you. The stories of movies,

1105
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:56,119
yeah, they're bad. They're bad
movies until Mortal Kamba one, which is

1106
01:09:56,199 --> 01:09:59,840
a fight. You're dismissing all the
single players and Brawl, which is where

1107
01:10:00,039 --> 01:10:02,000
all the casuals come in and they
love the game for you can't care about

1108
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:05,920
the capsules, can put it on
their list, of course. I've never

1109
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:09,600
played Subspace Emissary. I'm gonna play
it. I'm gonna come back and I'm

1110
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:12,720
gonna be such a lover of this
game, and I'm gonna annoy Mike about

1111
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:15,640
it. I can't wait. Uh, it's a fun mode. It's like

1112
01:10:15,399 --> 01:10:18,319
it's it's the fun mode. You
play for two hours and you're done with

1113
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:20,640
it, and then you have to
play Brawl for the rest of your life.

1114
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:25,520
Have fun, I guess, screaming
mad and says Madden. NFL O

1115
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:30,000
nine introduced Virtual Training, which put
the player in training session on a tron

1116
01:10:30,119 --> 01:10:35,239
football field. Mad also gave the
world hologram John Madden, Mike, Hologram,

1117
01:10:35,359 --> 01:10:40,359
John Madden. I'll say it again, Hologram John Madden. If that's

1118
01:10:40,399 --> 01:10:43,199
not enough for a Madden Top five
spot, then I'll say Melgar solid for

1119
01:10:43,359 --> 01:10:46,359
deserves some recognition. It was the
reason my family got Yes three. All

1120
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:48,319
right, wait a second, Jeff, I mean you do have to play

1121
01:10:48,359 --> 01:10:53,319
Subspace Emissary because Grubspace Emissary is right. Okay, there we go. All

1122
01:10:53,359 --> 01:10:55,640
right, I'll do it. Christ, Thank you, Divorce Cougar Holy Shaw.

1123
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:59,119
Did we not say that? Hosp
says shoutouts to fall Out three.

1124
01:10:59,199 --> 01:11:01,720
The game I completed, felt nothing, replayed two years later and totally fell

1125
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:05,159
for the Beesta Magic. There's something
quite like fast traveling to a place and

1126
01:11:05,199 --> 01:11:12,560
then just just wandering into the unknown, into the It'd be real nice if

1127
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:16,399
Starfield had any of that, that
would be ideal. But hey, I'll

1128
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:20,600
just go back to sky Room.
Always be clothing. Slash Corky says,

1129
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:26,600
uh, Persona four that every persons
great and your June ness. Yeah,

1130
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:30,600
Persona four is such a charming game. It's such a good there are there

1131
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:36,319
are vibes in Persona for man,
I love it. Uh low Rull says,

1132
01:11:36,319 --> 01:11:40,239
middle Gear Solid four Guns of the
Patriots is my favorite movie of that

1133
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:43,439
year. Fair, Here's what I'll
say about Guns of the Patriots. Like,

1134
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:47,960
I played through that game in like
one sitting. I did not sleep

1135
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:53,199
right, Like I got that thing
home, and except for like the long

1136
01:11:53,279 --> 01:11:56,960
load times between discs, like I
really could not stop playing it because I

1137
01:11:57,319 --> 01:12:00,439
was so invested in metal Gear saw
it and it did do a really good

1138
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:05,520
job of like actually answering questions,
having some fun surprises, and being fun

1139
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:10,159
when you played it. I did
like your Solid for I just see the

1140
01:12:10,279 --> 01:12:15,119
problems with it. Also, Velocity
Prime one says, majority of my picks

1141
01:12:15,159 --> 01:12:18,680
are already taken, but let's highlight
when a master of one medium transfers their

1142
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:24,039
skills to another. That's right.
The father of modern blockbuster, Steven Spielberg,

1143
01:12:24,199 --> 01:12:28,520
graced us all with the delightful puzzle
game Boom Blocks. Yeah. I

1144
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:31,079
like this game of time. That's
like one of those ones where it's like

1145
01:12:31,159 --> 01:12:34,800
they combined emotion and physics in a
way that's like, oh my god,

1146
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:38,439
this is what games can be.
And now this is like a little bit

1147
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:41,720
taken for granted, because but this
is the whole basis of what like VR

1148
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:45,960
is. But Boom Blocks doing it
originally was pretty impressive. Yeah, we

1149
01:12:45,039 --> 01:12:47,720
played a little bit of this.
That dance during the charity treatment was still

1150
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:51,079
fun. That's great. Yeah,
Team money og says, my vote is

1151
01:12:51,119 --> 01:12:55,439
for rock Band two. So many
hours spent playing this game with friends.

1152
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:58,079
I'm not sure why, but to
me, this is the peak of the

1153
01:12:58,199 --> 01:13:01,279
series and music games as a whole. Uh Yeah, I like brought rock

1154
01:13:01,319 --> 01:13:05,640
Band to a lot of Villain Max's
ton of it. Yeah, I just

1155
01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:09,920
couldn't stop playing it. Villain Max's
followed three was the game that made me

1156
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:13,159
fall in love with bees. The
games, Rare Monkey says, here I

1157
01:13:13,279 --> 01:13:16,359
did the hard part for you.
They are even in order. And then

1158
01:13:16,359 --> 01:13:20,800
there's the shore from Mike Sure Mike
Emoji also, I know that the only

1159
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:26,079
two that have a chance on your
list are persona and Panjo. We'll see

1160
01:13:26,199 --> 01:13:30,039
how banjo. Everybody fark right to
Persona four banjo Kazuo, nuts and bolts

1161
01:13:30,079 --> 01:13:31,560
fable to in Prince of Persia two
thousand and eight, that's another one.

1162
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:33,800
Don't you like that? Prince of
Persia two thousand No, No, I'm

1163
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:36,960
the one who's baffled at it suddenly, oh right, right, right recently

1164
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:41,720
the other Yeah, it's not everyone's
like that. It was actually pretty good.

1165
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:45,359
I that was one of the most
I played that game and felt nothing

1166
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:50,840
and remember nothing kind of games.
Honestly, you like it though? Yeah,

1167
01:13:51,039 --> 01:13:55,680
yeah, shout out to you.
Let's see. Adam g c says

1168
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:58,479
they started college in two thousand and
eight, so it started their period where

1169
01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:00,600
they didn't play a lot of games. See yall in a couple of years.

1170
01:14:00,199 --> 01:14:04,760
Super Harman mentioned Spraid one day,
Adam a doctor. I played a

1171
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:08,840
lot of games in college, but
I was an English major. There was

1172
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:11,560
it wasn't that right, that's right, and you already knew English, so

1173
01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:14,159
that was kind of cheating. Yeah, that was kind of cheating. That's

1174
01:14:14,199 --> 01:14:16,520
what I played, like every final
Fantasy was when I was in I had

1175
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:19,920
plenty of free time. Yeah.
They say English is the hardest language to

1176
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:23,079
learn. Yeah, it's weird that
For me, it's the easiest. So

1177
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:30,720
that is an incredible best jock.
Yeah. Super Harman mentioned Spraid, Wong

1178
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:33,640
Gifts has Fable two person and of
four Left for Dead. Also mentions that

1179
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:38,640
two thousand and eight remake of Prince
of Persia. I love the Prince Persias

1180
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:41,600
Hands of Time and I never really
played this one. I should go try

1181
01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:46,319
it. Tokyo Game Life says Super
Smash Brothers Brawl. It literally can't get

1182
01:14:46,359 --> 01:14:49,960
any bigger than this laughter. You
know, it is funny because like at

1183
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:54,000
the time this roster was gigantic and
now I'm looking at it and because of

1184
01:14:54,119 --> 01:14:57,439
ultimately, because that looks it's like
a fraction of ultimates. Yes right.

1185
01:14:58,159 --> 01:15:00,600
Doctor Lynch says this is the only
far from my favorite year in gaming.

1186
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:03,520
But I think the game the game
of the year is a cross between Fallout

1187
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:08,079
three and Middle Gear Solid four.
Will we ever get an easier chance to

1188
01:15:08,159 --> 01:15:11,920
play middle Gear Solid for without having
to whip out the unbearably slow PlayStation three

1189
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:15,520
again? Yeah, Yes, they're
gonna figure that out. They're gonna tell

1190
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:18,359
you that game again. Karaokee Blue
says Devil May Cry four. Do you

1191
01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:23,479
like this? We talked about this
yet it okay? It plays really well.

1192
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:26,600
I know some people were thrown off
because, like you play through the

1193
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:30,479
game and then you basically like retrace
your steps again. It doesn't seem to

1194
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:32,880
get as much of love as as
three does, right or even five more

1195
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:38,640
recently, but it's it's a good
game for sure. JD. Camp says

1196
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:42,039
how many games have helped professional athletes
like we Fit, and he linked to

1197
01:15:42,079 --> 01:15:45,039
a story where we Fit helped an
MLB pitcher lose weight. We fit really

1198
01:15:45,079 --> 01:15:50,439
this year? Yeah it was I'm
not that Sasquatch Crossing says a command of

1199
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:55,399
conquer red Alert three for giving us
this and also, let me just unmute

1200
01:15:55,399 --> 01:16:00,319
this this real quick. Here we
go. Yeah, I'm escaping to the

1201
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:08,520
one place that hasn't been corrupted by
capitalism. Sparks, Oh, it's so

1202
01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:11,960
good man, and forget how good
it is every time, and it just

1203
01:16:12,159 --> 01:16:16,399
delivers. He's just like, I
can't believe I'm about to say this,

1204
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:20,760
and then he says it and it's
great. Height Like I'm usually like I

1205
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:25,159
didn't know people liked to Commandic Concker
that much. I did play Regular three.

1206
01:16:25,159 --> 01:16:27,640
It's the only Comandic Cocker game I
really played much of, and it

1207
01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:32,039
was really good fun. They're good
games. They did that remaster one of

1208
01:16:32,079 --> 01:16:35,479
those Commanded Conquer games recently, right, and people really were happy with it.

1209
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:38,680
I thought, So, I can't
remember now, I don't know,

1210
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:41,760
he said, like, I'm just
not very tuned into the Command and Conquer

1211
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:45,359
world. Michael Riley's Middle Gear Solid
four my first game in the series.

1212
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:54,560
So boy was I confu By the
way, their emoji here, their icon

1213
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:58,359
is solid Snake. I've now played
most of the games, and I'm even

1214
01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:02,399
more confused than before. Still my
favorite series, so Medogar South War will

1215
01:17:02,399 --> 01:17:06,399
always hold a special place in my
heart. Sorry, I just got a

1216
01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:13,720
super chatted from shakirovia Modu says,
don't forget we music. Oh we we

1217
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:18,359
we won't, shigy we won't.
Definitely not. Don't worry buddy. Well

1218
01:17:18,359 --> 01:17:21,359
okay, wait is this this is? This is this is two thousand and

1219
01:17:21,359 --> 01:17:25,880
eight. Okay, hang on,
Jamie h Christmas Eve says it probably won't

1220
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:29,279
make top five, but No More
Heroes was a highlight for me. Sure,

1221
01:17:29,319 --> 01:17:31,800
the open world was sparse but had
great characters, fun hack and slash

1222
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:34,920
combat, and you had to jerk
off the we remote to charge up your

1223
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:38,920
energy sore? What what's not the
laser? H Yeah? I think I

1224
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:42,359
cut you off when But Big Tony's
was mak him in nine Oh yeah yeah

1225
01:17:42,399 --> 01:17:45,560
maybe yes, Big Tony mentioned making
a nine Tony Tommy pencil says dead Space

1226
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:48,720
is so good that its remake came
out in twenty twenty three. Imagine having

1227
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:51,600
a character design as good as Dead
Space, and then for the cover you

1228
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:57,880
have a severed hand. Yeah,
that's that's weird. You're right, although

1229
01:17:58,039 --> 01:18:00,560
it didn't seem to hurt that game, that game did fine. Lenny Cool

1230
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:03,359
Dick Denver says, I think one
of these four games is a chance of

1231
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:06,520
making that list. I really like
them, and it's four different colors from

1232
01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:11,640
Middle Gear Solid four. Funny because
the worst looking one is the one that

1233
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:15,159
we actually got at least the normal
one. It was just like a picture

1234
01:18:15,199 --> 01:18:19,279
of Snake's rendered face. Yeah,
all these other ones are fantastic. Adam

1235
01:18:19,399 --> 01:18:21,640
Juice says, got in here too
late this time. I just want to

1236
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:26,680
say that Brawl is good. Maybe
was my first fighting game I ever went

1237
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:29,239
to a tournament four, so it's
got a special place in my heart.

1238
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:34,520
Vision forty nine mentions Saints Row two
Fable two Castle Crashers, but also mentions

1239
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:41,479
Bad Company as their big one.
There the daism a Man two says the

1240
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:45,680
world is not enough or the is
that what this one is? The world

1241
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:48,000
ends with you? The world ends
with you? Yes, try yes,

1242
01:18:48,199 --> 01:18:50,840
which I did forget about. This
is a very good game. Actually,

1243
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:53,880
this is actually one of my favorite
d S games. I think I have

1244
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:58,600
no chance of like convincing you on
it. It would be five. Maybe.

1245
01:18:59,159 --> 01:19:01,079
I actually have a couple other DS
games that I'm like want to double

1246
01:19:01,159 --> 01:19:04,039
check to make sure they came out
this year. I'll see if anyone else

1247
01:19:04,079 --> 01:19:06,680
mentions them. Actually maybe it's just
one other one, but we'll see,

1248
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:10,159
right, Because I have some other
games that I don't know Jess super high

1249
01:19:10,159 --> 01:19:13,439
on that I'm probably gonna go to
bet for more. It's funny through no

1250
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:15,159
photo of its own. I don't
like Lorenzo with You as much as I

1251
01:19:15,199 --> 01:19:18,720
used to because I really did not
like World Ends with You Neo or whatever

1252
01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:25,920
it was called. That sequel did
nothing for me whatsoever. Uh Okay,

1253
01:19:26,119 --> 01:19:30,640
let's see here. Klaus Raynor says
metal Gear Solid for ham a lot more

1254
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:34,560
love from metal Gear Solid four than
I was expecting. Yeah, I mean,

1255
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:36,279
I think a big part of that
is like, if you had a

1256
01:19:36,319 --> 01:19:39,399
PlayStation three in two thousand and eight, what the fuck else were you going

1257
01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:44,439
to play? I guess. I
mean that's not to diminish the game.

1258
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:46,600
It's that a lot of people played
Metal Gear Solid for and a lot of

1259
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:49,479
people really like metal Gear Solid I
guess, yeah, but you know,

1260
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:51,479
I know, to be it's just
like, yeah, I like Mulgar Solid

1261
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:56,039
for. Still definitely like one of
the weaker ones, if not the weakest

1262
01:19:56,159 --> 01:20:00,439
one, But I still really like
it, all right. The Hamlet of

1263
01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:02,279
Texas says Left for Dead. I
put hundreds of hours into this one.

1264
01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:08,039
I always enjoyed playing the Survivors Versus
Zombies mode, where you had two teams

1265
01:20:08,079 --> 01:20:11,159
of four trying to outsmart each other
and you got to play as the special

1266
01:20:11,199 --> 01:20:14,800
infected zombies. Yeah. I want
I want to do some more gaming like

1267
01:20:15,039 --> 01:20:17,640
that. Doominal Crossing says Call of
Duty World at War. I like this

1268
01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:19,760
game, but I'm not gonna try
to get in the top. But Doominal

1269
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:23,119
has an Edit says, apparently Merror's
Edge came out this year too, and

1270
01:20:23,199 --> 01:20:25,720
that's my top five all time,
so never mind, that is easily my

1271
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:29,600
pick. Goods. Right job,
dou mental good job, freshly stream game

1272
01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:33,399
says. Gears of War two love
Slicked Stick says, if you don't like

1273
01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:38,680
Ben ten Alli Enforce for the Weed, then you're a bitch there. Then

1274
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:42,720
he says that game is terrible.
B Traven the really hyped release this year.

1275
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:45,920
Really hype releases this year like Fallout
three, Dead Space, GT four

1276
01:20:46,079 --> 01:20:49,880
Brawl cod all felt like they under
delivered slightly to me. So I'm going

1277
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:55,119
with the game that absolutely over delivered
Banjo KAZOOI Notts and Bolts. Yeah,

1278
01:20:55,159 --> 01:20:58,119
I agree with you, Travan.
Glad that just come around at least because

1279
01:20:58,119 --> 01:21:00,239
for a while, like the if, like if you had asked me what

1280
01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:03,279
the pulse in that game is,
it's a people think that's a bad game,

1281
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:06,439
yes, which is probably never fair, right, do never know it's

1282
01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:10,720
wrong? It's good. It's a
really good game. Uh. Willow Davis

1283
01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:15,520
super Smash Brothers Brawl. But without
mentioning anything negative, great game, uh

1284
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:17,079
huh uh. Klink says, oh
look, it's the game that has the

1285
01:21:17,159 --> 01:21:21,279
best song name still alive featured in
a video game, Mirror's Edge, freaking.

1286
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:25,920
That's just so good, good game. I could play it, right,

1287
01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:28,640
I could just play through all of
it right now and have an amazing

1288
01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:31,600
time. Okay, somebody's finally Uh
no, you're on the right track.

1289
01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:35,039
You're trying to do some Japanese stuff. Good try Sewan, go ahead,

1290
01:21:35,119 --> 01:21:39,800
Jeff so Yeah, Sherbo Shawan says
gold Star bikey because Mike says he's got

1291
01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:43,840
one that no one's mentioned so far, and Sean Sean guest Lost Odyssey,

1292
01:21:44,319 --> 01:21:48,760
Valkyria Chronicles, Soul Caliber for and
Sonic Unleashed. All right, chat,

1293
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:53,960
who in June? Chat can guess
the uh the JRPG that I actually am

1294
01:21:54,039 --> 01:21:57,800
thinking of. It's a you'll get
it, You'll get a gold Star.

1295
01:21:58,039 --> 01:22:03,479
Yes, dragon Quest came out or
something? Right, Uh, there's not

1296
01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:06,880
dragon Quest. What did you say? Uh? Christian Fate. I don't

1297
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:10,479
know where that came out when that
came out? Not Residents of Fate,

1298
01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:16,319
nor fire Envelow, Dragon Sword.
It is Enemy House. Well, let's

1299
01:22:16,319 --> 01:22:20,479
see enemy Mouse just said tales.
But then Nick G says Vesper Yes,

1300
01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:28,840
and probably the best entry in that
series. I love Tales of This Barrier.

1301
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:31,520
That is a super fun, super
fun. I don't know if I

1302
01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:34,039
can get Jeff to give this,
but Jeff I insists you write it down.

1303
01:22:34,079 --> 01:22:38,039
I like Tales of Yeah, I
already did, no problem, it's

1304
01:22:38,119 --> 01:22:43,399
there and everyone can see it.
In fact, you know what, I

1305
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:45,319
think we should put Grand Theft Auto
on the shortlist. She should probably put

1306
01:22:45,359 --> 01:22:47,560
in the short list. You're right
by that. I mean Grand Theft Auto,

1307
01:22:47,680 --> 01:22:51,680
China, Tom Warris, get everybody
that you know. I think so

1308
01:22:53,039 --> 01:22:59,319
double check. I think it might
be might I think you're just completely you're

1309
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:03,079
two thousand and nine. Give fuck
gro I fuck, okay, well shit

1310
01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:08,800
Google Google, Hey that's Google.
That's not on me. That's Google.

1311
01:23:10,279 --> 01:23:13,600
Yeah, all right, I mean
a double show. It was Ghost Trick

1312
01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:16,800
two thousand and eight. It was
not that's a twenty ten. What is

1313
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:19,720
wrong with Google? Soap? Don't
I just go Wikipedia? It's got a

1314
01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:24,319
Wikipedia that Google does not know.
There's too many games on Wikipedia. Well,

1315
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:27,600
like the version for this came out
then or something like for phones and

1316
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:29,920
then we'll post that. So I
don't do that. Yeah, yeah they

1317
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:31,640
do. They also have elead Beat
agents here and that's just that we did

1318
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:36,279
that last time. Okay. Well, in that case, here's what we

1319
01:23:36,359 --> 01:23:40,920
have so far. Audio listeners Persona
for Fallout three, Mirrors Edge Left for

1320
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:44,720
Dead Braid, Banjo Kazoo, Nuts
and Bolts, Dead Space, Mega Man

1321
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:48,760
nine, Castle Crashers, Rhythm having
tales of Vespiria and Grand Theft Auto.

1322
01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:51,520
All right, well, Jeff,
fare is only fair. Look, it

1323
01:23:51,640 --> 01:23:55,960
was actually the most brought up game, and the thing was Super Smash pros

1324
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:58,399
Brawl. I think you should put
it on there so we can consider it.

1325
01:23:59,159 --> 01:24:01,479
All right, Super Brothers, all
right, I consider to get the

1326
01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:05,000
fuck out of there. That game
is a garbage and it's an insult.

1327
01:24:08,239 --> 01:24:10,800
Uh. Yeah, listen. I
don't know why people ever thought that's a

1328
01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:14,720
chance on a Mike Minatti, but
hey, do what you gotta do.

1329
01:24:15,319 --> 01:24:20,039
Uh, okay, Mi, I
listen. I don't feel too strongly about

1330
01:24:20,039 --> 01:24:25,000
any of these games. I'm gonna
hoest I like Fallout three. Uh,

1331
01:24:25,319 --> 01:24:30,199
and I honestly, if I could
maybe sneak okay Rhythm, heave it,

1332
01:24:30,279 --> 01:24:31,199
I like a lot. I would
try to get that in the top five.

1333
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:33,920
Uh. And then the one I
would sneak on there if possible,

1334
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:36,760
would be banjo KAZOUI. But I'm
not gonna really think that that's possible.

1335
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:39,399
But let's let's see. I don't
know, what do you think you should

1336
01:24:39,399 --> 01:24:41,760
go up? Yeah, because there
are I'm surprised. There are quite a

1337
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:45,399
few games I do feel strongly about. Actually, I do like Fall three

1338
01:24:45,439 --> 01:24:46,479
a lot, and it was my
game of year at the time. I

1339
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:48,800
think that's definitely on the list.
Fall three is definitely on. Yes,

1340
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:54,159
Actually I agree. I like Fall
three a lot, And then I would

1341
01:24:54,359 --> 01:24:57,239
honestly probably gosh, there's a lot
of games here, like geez I.

1342
01:24:57,640 --> 01:25:01,960
Then I wouldn't feel next most strongly
about meror Sedge. Actually I freaking love

1343
01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:06,840
I like mers Edge a lot too. Well, okay, let me ask,

1344
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:12,439
what where's Persona four go? So
I before goes on there, Uh,

1345
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:18,640
it doesn't have to go necessarily like
number one for now? Yeah,

1346
01:25:20,039 --> 01:25:24,800
how do we I have a question? How do we feel about Persona four

1347
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:29,520
golden because it's better? But yeah, well we did that last in Persona

1348
01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:31,479
three, and that, like Persona
three, got improved much more than base

1349
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:34,800
Persona four did. I'll also say
this isn't how we do things around here,

1350
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:38,119
but I did look ahead a little
bit to twenty twelve. I'm not

1351
01:25:38,359 --> 01:25:41,399
sure Golden quite makes the cuts.
If you want to give some flowers to

1352
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:45,399
PERSONA four, it might be here
twenty good years. Tell it wasn't.

1353
01:25:45,119 --> 01:25:48,079
It's not great, but I think
there's just enough that you got, I

1354
01:25:48,119 --> 01:25:51,840
mean, squeeze it out well because
it'll be at that point a remester anyways.

1355
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:56,079
And then man like Jeff, there's
like a ton of games here,

1356
01:25:56,199 --> 01:26:00,239
so really like a lot at this
point, like a Brave even a dead

1357
01:26:00,359 --> 01:26:09,560
Space Mega Man nine, uh Vesparrea. But I mean, look, here's

1358
01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:12,039
the problem, Jeff, like,
yeah, like like the ones you want

1359
01:26:12,079 --> 01:26:15,119
to push, I think, or
like the two I care about the least.

1360
01:26:15,239 --> 01:26:17,319
Probably that's where we are on this
line. Well, here's the other

1361
01:26:17,359 --> 01:26:19,520
one that I like a lot is
Mega Man nine. So if you want

1362
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:21,640
to move that up, I'll get
behind it, and then I would just

1363
01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:28,279
be happy to sneak rhythm heaven in. But and it's what your fucking list.

1364
01:26:29,399 --> 01:26:31,680
Yeah, okay, yeah, listen, that doesn't work for you,

1365
01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:40,640
a brother, Look, I mean
I like you. Okay, let's put

1366
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:44,119
do it. Let's wa wa well
okay, put those two up there,

1367
01:26:44,199 --> 01:26:46,279
let's see it all right, all
right, all right, I am asking

1368
01:26:46,319 --> 01:26:48,279
this as a serious question. To
be clear, it doesn't matter what I

1369
01:26:48,319 --> 01:26:51,199
think you obviously, I'm kind of
dominating this little bit you get with you.

1370
01:26:51,319 --> 01:26:54,239
And then again I'm okay with that
other I said, I don't feel

1371
01:26:54,239 --> 01:26:58,720
strongly about any of these games by
insane for wondering for a thinking rhythm.

1372
01:26:58,760 --> 01:27:00,199
Heaven's a little bit of a weird
pick. I like whetherman having fine.

1373
01:27:02,239 --> 01:27:04,880
I don't know. For me,
it was like such a standout game that

1374
01:27:05,039 --> 01:27:09,159
year. Wait a second, did
you beef it again? Did you beef

1375
01:27:09,239 --> 01:27:11,000
it again? Oh? Is that
not a two thousand day? Is that

1376
01:27:11,039 --> 01:27:13,399
two thousand and nine? We already
talk about that. Oh that's right.

1377
01:27:13,479 --> 01:27:15,560
Yeah, I told you this came
out. That's right. I told you

1378
01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:18,319
it came out, and yes,
that's right. I wrote it down thinking,

1379
01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:20,239
okay, yes, so you're saved. There you go, okay,

1380
01:27:20,439 --> 01:27:25,119
thank you, Chet, I'm saved. Well in that case, I want

1381
01:27:25,119 --> 01:27:28,319
to get Banjo KAZOOI up there if
possible. But that's yeah, I'll tell

1382
01:27:28,359 --> 01:27:33,000
you what else. Maybe Now I
feel okay, I'm a jackass because I

1383
01:27:33,159 --> 01:27:36,359
have dolbade this list. But there's
also a part of me, Jeff,

1384
01:27:38,279 --> 01:27:44,039
it's just like you want Benja Kazuli
Nuts and Boats on there before Braid or

1385
01:27:44,319 --> 01:27:50,680
Dead Space or Left four Dead or
grafted up. I I'd rather you put

1386
01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:56,520
Smash Brothers Brawl on there. That
I get it. You don't like it,

1387
01:27:56,560 --> 01:27:58,199
But what does that have to do
with me liking it a lot?

1388
01:27:58,359 --> 01:28:03,800
Like the boats awesome. I can't
convince you you're wrong. You can fix

1389
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:08,640
me, Mike, Yeah, you
can do it. No, you're just

1390
01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:15,239
you're wrong about bands in BOLTI tearing
it around the popular consistent at the time,

1391
01:28:15,359 --> 01:28:17,439
which was wrong. To be clear, I played it. I kind

1392
01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:21,079
of agreed with that negatives. I
thought it was lame. I didn't like

1393
01:28:21,159 --> 01:28:25,279
that direction for it. I thought, yeah, right, But it's like

1394
01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:29,000
I get like you're expecting one thing
and they're changing things up and be like,

1395
01:28:29,039 --> 01:28:30,800
oh, this is a weird direction
for it in a in a vacuum

1396
01:28:30,800 --> 01:28:34,159
when you don't taken on its own
terms. Though it's a really well made

1397
01:28:34,199 --> 01:28:38,920
three D platform with a lot of
cool ideas. I feel, Okay,

1398
01:28:39,159 --> 01:28:41,119
look, look, I gotta give
it for you, I gotta give with

1399
01:28:41,199 --> 01:28:44,439
you. But uh, this is
toxic of me because again this is completely

1400
01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:47,520
unfair. I got a lot of
my ship on here. Listen, you

1401
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:50,279
want to move Man nine down and
put something else up, that's fine.

1402
01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:54,199
You could have four games, Mike, you got four games you want.

1403
01:28:55,399 --> 01:29:00,560
I understand. I'm being a piece
of ship. I get it. I

1404
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:06,039
can't help myself. It just I'm
seeing a lot of important seminole gage being

1405
01:29:06,239 --> 01:29:12,119
left off this list for a game
called nuts and Bolts or game with the

1406
01:29:12,239 --> 01:29:16,680
word nuts in the title. Wow
love nuts here. I'm gonna pass it

1407
01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:19,239
the way. You're just gonna feel
bad if you go ahead. Listen,

1408
01:29:19,720 --> 01:29:25,439
I I think I want Braid on
there instead of megam in nine. Okay,

1409
01:29:25,600 --> 01:29:30,800
fair enough, God damn it.
There we go, and then you

1410
01:29:30,840 --> 01:29:34,840
can go bet a fucking can you
can put Mars's Edge at one? Yeah,

1411
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:38,119
totally, yeah, I don't get
I'll give ship whatever you want to

1412
01:29:38,159 --> 01:29:42,840
do man, whatever make you feel
better, and then follow off three at

1413
01:29:43,279 --> 01:29:48,119
two. Yeah, and then and
then persona four at three or four uh

1414
01:29:48,520 --> 01:29:51,840
a three please? Okay? Yeah, okay, you know what, go

1415
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:56,920
ahead, put nuts and Bolts above
Braid. Okay, yeah, I'll take

1416
01:29:56,960 --> 01:30:04,399
it. Hell yeah, we did
it. Everybody by the Jeff Jeff We've

1417
01:30:04,439 --> 01:30:10,880
got We've had some unpopular lists quick
in general, that's both of our faults

1418
01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:14,760
this time. Because people are gonna
have some thoughts on this one. I'm

1419
01:30:14,840 --> 01:30:17,680
kind of excited for it. I
think you're gonna be surprised by just the

1420
01:30:17,800 --> 01:30:20,800
amount of love you're gonna get from
being brave enough to put Banjo Kazuoi on

1421
01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:25,159
your list. Mike, I'm probably
gonna be screamed at for brawl, which

1422
01:30:25,159 --> 01:30:28,039
I just I can't. I don't
understand where the turnaround for that happened.

1423
01:30:28,359 --> 01:30:30,720
I know what it is because all
these children I'm care got on social media

1424
01:30:30,720 --> 01:30:34,039
accounts. Yeah, all right,
Mike, read this Top five everybody trying

1425
01:30:34,079 --> 01:30:42,880
not to laugh. We're not laughing. I failed. Number one is Beer's

1426
01:30:43,039 --> 01:30:46,279
Edge. Number two is fallout.
Three, number three is persona. Four,

1427
01:30:46,640 --> 01:30:51,600
Number four is a Banjo Kazuoi,
nuts and bolts, and five is

1428
01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:56,000
braid. People aren't happy for braid, to be fair, but eh,

1429
01:30:56,720 --> 01:30:58,840
you know, I get it.
You were too young for it at the

1430
01:30:58,960 --> 01:31:01,079
time. I get it. Cut. Maybe they added tripping and braid.

1431
01:31:01,279 --> 01:31:04,680
Maybe they added a mode where you
Sonic the Hedgehog showed up, you'd all

1432
01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:09,439
be happier about it. I don't
know. I'm being a man. I

1433
01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:12,279
am I'm being a little shit today. I kind of love it. I'm

1434
01:31:12,319 --> 01:31:14,319
in my little ship. No,
no, this is this is good.

1435
01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:16,159
This is a good way to be. I think, all right, why

1436
01:31:16,279 --> 01:31:20,319
is this not so? Your tweets
loading again? Do you? But do

1437
01:31:20,399 --> 01:31:24,399
you remember last time? It was
because he had some kind of weird ex

1438
01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:27,840
browser extension that was slowing everything down. Yeah, but then I understood that

1439
01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:29,680
and I thought it fixed it,
and then it did it on a completely

1440
01:31:29,840 --> 01:31:32,039
unrelated browser that has no extensions.
So much. Well, I don't want

1441
01:31:32,079 --> 01:31:35,159
I don't even know anymore. It's
a bad It's a bad website, is

1442
01:31:35,199 --> 01:31:39,079
what it is. I I only
message you this because I was a coward

1443
01:31:39,159 --> 01:31:42,039
to tweet it. But I thought, I think that's really weird that I

1444
01:31:42,159 --> 01:31:45,039
had to. I wanted to get
a Dragon's Dogma two screenshots. I wanted

1445
01:31:45,079 --> 01:31:47,680
to go to the Dragon's Dogma website. I had to put in my birthday

1446
01:31:48,159 --> 01:31:51,439
and I don't have to do that
for like porn Hub anymore. So you

1447
01:31:51,520 --> 01:31:56,279
do have to do well, you
have to do that because that's like complying

1448
01:31:56,319 --> 01:31:59,039
with like the ESRB rules and stuff. We had. Okay, so we

1449
01:31:59,119 --> 01:32:01,880
had like pretend that years are ESRB
is reel. Yes, yes, that

1450
01:32:01,960 --> 01:32:04,880
the whole point is to pretend it's
real so that the government doesn't step in

1451
01:32:05,239 --> 01:32:09,520
like that. That's the whole idea. Yeah, all right, I tweeted

1452
01:32:09,560 --> 01:32:12,800
it. I can't wait to see
the responses one more time. Everybody Meror's

1453
01:32:12,880 --> 01:32:15,960
Edge Fallout three person of four,
Benjo KAZOOI, Nuts Said, Bolts,

1454
01:32:16,239 --> 01:32:20,640
and Braid. It's two thousand and
eight, and that's the definitive best games

1455
01:32:20,640 --> 01:32:23,479
of that year. If you play
those five, you're gonna have played the

1456
01:32:23,520 --> 01:32:26,359
best, the five best games of
two thousand and eight. All right,

1457
01:32:26,439 --> 01:32:28,640
let's take another quick break and we'll
come back and talk about some games.

1458
01:32:28,680 --> 01:32:32,880
Everybody see in a moment, and
we're back and we're talking about video games.

1459
01:32:33,760 --> 01:32:36,720
Mike, all I've been play is
Benju KAZUOI, Nuts and Bolts.

1460
01:32:38,159 --> 01:32:43,279
I bet you have. You've lost
a few Nuts and Bolts game of that

1461
01:32:43,319 --> 01:32:48,399
game rules. Okay. So I
started today really playing a Steam World Build,

1462
01:32:48,720 --> 01:32:51,880
which is the game that's going to
be out tomorrow and it's gonna be

1463
01:32:51,880 --> 01:32:55,880
in Game Pass and it rules.
It's a lot of fun. It's one

1464
01:32:55,920 --> 01:33:00,479
of those one more turned city builder
games. Obviously, it's it's really dialed

1465
01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:02,520
in to make you lose a lot
of time very quickly. But it also

1466
01:33:02,680 --> 01:33:05,119
isn't It doesn't feel like it's going
to go on and on and on.

1467
01:33:05,359 --> 01:33:09,039
It feels like these campaigns are relatively
tight where you can get through one of

1468
01:33:09,079 --> 01:33:12,039
them in like, you know,
ten to twelve hours, which I appreciate,

1469
01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:15,000
and I'm about halfway through that right
now. And the cool thing about

1470
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:20,560
it is that they give you multiple
things to manage. So you have your

1471
01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:25,600
like ground floor where you're building the
city and your people live up there,

1472
01:33:26,079 --> 01:33:30,239
and all of these things that feed
into one another. So you have to

1473
01:33:30,399 --> 01:33:33,159
build housing for your workers, and
then you need to give them the things

1474
01:33:33,239 --> 01:33:38,159
they need, and if they're happy
enough, then you need to upgrade some

1475
01:33:38,319 --> 01:33:42,279
of their homes to be engineers.
And then if they're happy, they'll upgrade

1476
01:33:42,279 --> 01:33:46,119
into aristocrats, aristocrats aristocrats, and
if they're happy, and then you can

1477
01:33:46,319 --> 01:33:49,000
upgrade them into scientists. And so
it's like it kind of sounds liken Onoh

1478
01:33:50,199 --> 01:33:54,439
yeah, I think similar. I
bet they're taking a lot from like a

1479
01:33:54,520 --> 01:33:58,159
lot of the games in this genre. Doesn't feel like they're trying to do

1480
01:33:58,319 --> 01:34:00,960
anything too new, But what seems
like they're trying to do is bring that

1481
01:34:01,119 --> 01:34:06,000
steam World really refined loop to the
to the genre, and that that feels

1482
01:34:06,039 --> 01:34:10,520
like they really accomplished that. So
that's happening on the top level, and

1483
01:34:10,640 --> 01:34:15,840
everybody has these needs and everything.
As you go up that tier list,

1484
01:34:16,079 --> 01:34:21,439
everything requires multiple things inputting into like
warehouses, and then those warehouses send out

1485
01:34:21,479 --> 01:34:28,399
the goods out to manufacturing plants to
make moonshine or whatever, and that's super

1486
01:34:28,479 --> 01:34:31,640
satisfying. But then you also can
unlock the mind shaft and you go underground,

1487
01:34:31,920 --> 01:34:35,560
and now you're doing like a little
bit more of an exploration game underground

1488
01:34:35,600 --> 01:34:39,359
as you have these have your characters
dig out the dirt and you need to

1489
01:34:39,399 --> 01:34:43,279
be putting out pylons to keep the
cave from falling in on you, and

1490
01:34:43,359 --> 01:34:47,680
you need to improve your tools by
building new machines to make improved tools so

1491
01:34:47,800 --> 01:34:51,199
you can dig out more powerful rocks
and stuff like that. It's it's one

1492
01:34:51,239 --> 01:34:55,479
of those games and that's satisfying.
And then on top of that, there

1493
01:34:55,680 --> 01:35:00,279
is like a little bit of a
tower defensy sort of thing where under ground,

1494
01:35:00,319 --> 01:35:05,000
eventually you'll encounter enemies and you'll need
to have a defensive things built around

1495
01:35:05,039 --> 01:35:09,840
your structures and your machines to protect
them once those enemies start to attack,

1496
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:12,880
and you could clearly see where those
enemies are, you know when you're gonna

1497
01:35:12,880 --> 01:35:15,560
provoke them, so you can prepare
for battle first. And it's like juggling

1498
01:35:15,680 --> 01:35:20,520
these things is really satisfying. Every
loop like feeds into each it feeds into

1499
01:35:20,560 --> 01:35:23,680
one another, and I'm just having
a really good time with it. It's

1500
01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:28,600
a really well made one of those
I am happy to be back in the

1501
01:35:28,600 --> 01:35:31,840
Steam World universe. Like they're doing
like some small narrative stuff where they're like,

1502
01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:33,800
we're going to go out the space, and a lot of the other

1503
01:35:33,840 --> 01:35:38,279
Steam World games have taken place in
space, so you get the sense that

1504
01:35:38,439 --> 01:35:40,800
like, oh, all these things
are tied together, and obviously they are,

1505
01:35:41,119 --> 01:35:44,880
but it's not some huge narrative,
and I just it's something that's easy

1506
01:35:44,920 --> 01:35:46,560
to ignore, which I appreciate as
well. I don't know if other people

1507
01:35:46,560 --> 01:35:48,560
are gonna be like, oh,
I wish there was more story here or

1508
01:35:48,600 --> 01:35:50,960
something like that, but for me, I'm happy with the level of story

1509
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:54,680
in it. But yeah, I
just I sat down to play it today

1510
01:35:54,880 --> 01:35:58,640
and couldn't put it down. And
it's really well done. One of those

1511
01:35:59,279 --> 01:36:01,279
you know, I'm not hearing like
a ton of noise about this game outside

1512
01:36:01,319 --> 01:36:04,239
of you. I wonder if that's
just the consequence of the way that this

1513
01:36:04,439 --> 01:36:08,760
year is people are still just playing
really really big games, or maybe I'm

1514
01:36:08,800 --> 01:36:11,760
just kind of missing that way.
I mean, you know, it is

1515
01:36:12,279 --> 01:36:15,800
an indie game from Thunderful that isn't
out yet, like it's out tomorrow,

1516
01:36:16,239 --> 01:36:20,159
so maybe you know, and it
is like one of those games where people

1517
01:36:20,159 --> 01:36:25,279
are gonna have to like play for
a handful of hours to really understand how

1518
01:36:25,319 --> 01:36:28,760
all the systems are working. And
so I imagine that it's going to take

1519
01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:30,840
a little bit before people who are
gonna feel comfortable commented on it. But

1520
01:36:30,920 --> 01:36:34,760
I bet it's gonna get some traction
coming out of Game Pass and it's gonna

1521
01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:36,479
be like, oh, yeah,
you should try this. This is really

1522
01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:40,880
satisfying, because it is. It
just is really fun to play. But

1523
01:36:40,920 --> 01:36:43,760
I wouldn't be surprised, Mike if
you're right as well, where it's gonna

1524
01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:45,000
be easy to be like, oh, I'm still catching up on this and

1525
01:36:45,119 --> 01:36:47,399
that, and people, I'm gonna
go back to the Star Wars Jedi Survivor,

1526
01:36:47,439 --> 01:36:51,119
which fucking Dan is doing right now. It's gonna be easy to ignore

1527
01:36:51,239 --> 01:36:54,560
this and like even Avatar, I
think it's gonna have a little bit of

1528
01:36:54,560 --> 01:36:57,199
a hard time, but we'll see. I don't know, Mike, what

1529
01:36:57,239 --> 01:37:00,159
have you been playing? I went
back to Star Wars Jedi Survivy you did.

1530
01:37:00,560 --> 01:37:03,880
You're doing this too a little bit, you know, because you know,

1531
01:37:04,239 --> 01:37:06,640
I put it up with the Place
of five to play something else I'll

1532
01:37:06,640 --> 01:37:10,960
talk about. But I decided to
transition to this because of that. You

1533
01:37:11,119 --> 01:37:15,000
kind of set me up there for
a layup. You know. It's funny.

1534
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:15,960
I've been kind of talking some shit
about this game and I start playing,

1535
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:18,000
Like, Eah, this game is
a lot of fun. Actually,

1536
01:37:19,680 --> 01:37:21,960
isn't gonna be anything wrong with this. I kind of wish I had time

1537
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:25,399
to play through all of it now, but man, that's where I'm at

1538
01:37:25,439 --> 01:37:28,000
too. I think I might play
it on the plane. I might switch

1539
01:37:28,039 --> 01:37:30,199
over to PC and leave my PS
five stay behind and play it on the

1540
01:37:30,239 --> 01:37:32,800
plane. I can't do that.
But I only got to play a little

1541
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:34,239
bit. But I was like,
man, this game does feel good.

1542
01:37:34,239 --> 01:37:36,640
I wish I could play more of
it. What I was doing more was

1543
01:37:36,760 --> 01:37:40,880
playing Found Fantasy sixteen, trying to
play more of that. I mean,

1544
01:37:41,159 --> 01:37:43,680
look, any hopes to be beating
that before, I'm like going to la

1545
01:37:43,800 --> 01:37:46,199
that's not going to happen. But
that's okay. Like I do like the

1546
01:37:46,239 --> 01:37:48,920
game. I don't think it's going
to up here in my top ten.

1547
01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:55,279
There's just been so many good games, and like there are issues with sixteen,

1548
01:37:55,800 --> 01:37:57,760
Like you know, honestly, by
the last few hours of it,

1549
01:37:58,199 --> 01:38:01,119
it's like not much has been happening, right, Like sixteen has these incredibly

1550
01:38:01,239 --> 01:38:06,199
high highs. You're fighting like the
kids yep, and it's like you're like

1551
01:38:06,239 --> 01:38:10,640
a Godzilla fight. And then there's
times where I'm just like talking to a

1552
01:38:10,720 --> 01:38:13,359
person and they didn't like mow cap
the mouth movements, and they want me

1553
01:38:13,399 --> 01:38:15,600
to go fight bees and then I
go fight bees in it like literally takes

1554
01:38:15,680 --> 01:38:18,680
two seconds. And then you go
and talk to them some more about how

1555
01:38:18,760 --> 01:38:21,720
you fought the bees and you can't. You can't like grab the game and

1556
01:38:21,800 --> 01:38:25,600
shake it and like what the hell
are we doing here? Why are you

1557
01:38:25,880 --> 01:38:28,359
like this? And then you get
back to like one of those really great

1558
01:38:28,399 --> 01:38:30,720
moments and it's like, okay,
why not focus on this instead? I

1559
01:38:31,640 --> 01:38:35,079
am confused about like why they thought
they needed that. I guess people say,

1560
01:38:35,119 --> 01:38:38,960
that's like some really Final Fantacy fourteen
ass bullshit, But I don't know,

1561
01:38:39,119 --> 01:38:41,399
is it well me, yeah,
I mean it kind of does remind

1562
01:38:41,439 --> 01:38:44,199
me of MMO stuff, but I
don't know. The vibe is a lot

1563
01:38:44,279 --> 01:38:47,880
different in MMOs stuff. Of course, that's that's for sure, But yeah,

1564
01:38:47,880 --> 01:38:50,039
I did. I was thinking that
a little bit. It's like,

1565
01:38:50,239 --> 01:38:55,359
why are there like MMO quests in
here? You don't really you really shouldn't

1566
01:38:55,399 --> 01:38:58,359
have quests like that, but you
know, what's your three kind of ruined

1567
01:38:58,399 --> 01:39:00,319
that forever? Right? Which are
three? Is the ones? We don't

1568
01:39:00,359 --> 01:39:02,079
have boring side quests? All the
side quests are kind of interesting now,

1569
01:39:02,960 --> 01:39:05,800
So it's kind of weird to see
any game sort of fall back on bad

1570
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:09,880
habits there. And it definitely feels
like Pan Fantasy sixteen was like a game

1571
01:39:09,960 --> 01:39:14,079
that's like from people who had at
least played the Witcher and then but why

1572
01:39:14,119 --> 01:39:16,079
didn't you like take these lessons?
I don't know. Well, that's the

1573
01:39:16,119 --> 01:39:20,000
thing like that you kind of wish
the game was more Witcher and instead.

1574
01:39:20,239 --> 01:39:23,880
Really, and I said this from
the beginning, it really is more like

1575
01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:28,479
God of War like Ragnarock style,
and a bit that will make cry.

1576
01:39:28,800 --> 01:39:30,479
I still like it. I think
in the combat system is a lot of

1577
01:39:30,560 --> 01:39:34,640
fun. I still I think a
lot of characters are a lot of fun.

1578
01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:39,960
Although there is the weirdness of this
being that game famously where the Doctor's

1579
01:39:40,039 --> 01:39:43,439
like, no, no black people
and then turns out the story is about

1580
01:39:43,520 --> 01:39:46,760
slavery. It's a little weird.
It's a little weird. It's a little

1581
01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:50,600
weird. It's a little bit weird. But I still am enjoying playing it,

1582
01:39:50,640 --> 01:39:55,000
and I still am going to continue
to play it. I'm going to

1583
01:39:55,079 --> 01:39:58,920
see that one through. Yep.
I'm glad I played the amount of it

1584
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:00,880
I played, and then when I
fell off of it, I was like,

1585
01:40:01,119 --> 01:40:03,640
no harm, no fault. You
know what. I think I got

1586
01:40:04,239 --> 01:40:08,079
the good stuff out of that game
for the most part. Maybe I missed

1587
01:40:08,079 --> 01:40:10,840
some of the cooler set pieces later
in the game, but those early set

1588
01:40:10,840 --> 01:40:14,840
pieces are also very good. And
uh, the what do they call dragoons?

1589
01:40:15,359 --> 01:40:16,960
That moment where that dragoon is on
top of the building and the music

1590
01:40:17,680 --> 01:40:21,880
that's a can and he does in
cool and he does the post from the

1591
01:40:23,159 --> 01:40:27,039
post before logo. Yes, I
love that. I mean the music is

1592
01:40:27,199 --> 01:40:30,399
so good. Yeah, I would. I still like this is the one

1593
01:40:30,399 --> 01:40:33,319
I would push for best soundtrack.
I think it's very it's very, very

1594
01:40:33,359 --> 01:40:36,880
good music. And like the guy
who composed his music was also composing the

1595
01:40:36,920 --> 01:40:42,920
fount Facy fourteen music and battling cancer, can't ye, I wouldn't argue that

1596
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:45,319
I really like the music in this
game a whole time. Don't worry.

1597
01:40:45,319 --> 01:40:47,199
I'm gonna play the cancer card a
ton, so you know, get ready

1598
01:40:47,279 --> 01:40:51,479
for that. Looks it's gonna be
real tasteless. You should have played that

1599
01:40:51,520 --> 01:40:56,000
against Banjo. You could have got
it off the list. I try to

1600
01:40:56,159 --> 01:41:00,199
figure out the cancer angle there.
Of course you racking your brain. Sure

1601
01:41:00,039 --> 01:41:03,279
wet Order Order of Ecclesia. You
could have said that, and I would

1602
01:41:03,279 --> 01:41:09,399
have been like, finally, well
it's in a super chat. I don't

1603
01:41:09,399 --> 01:41:12,439
know. I never actually got to
play that much of Order Ecclesia. Okay,

1604
01:41:12,600 --> 01:41:15,680
Order Clezy is the best three D
S one. Yeah, yes,

1605
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:17,079
I want to play it. I
keep kind of wait for a chance.

1606
01:41:17,119 --> 01:41:21,039
That's the one with the gosh.
It's like Stacy Keepler in that Day of

1607
01:41:21,399 --> 01:41:26,199
Reckoning. We game like, man, you're raking it, You're rking It's

1608
01:41:26,239 --> 01:41:29,279
just a bare back, but somehow
it seems a decent It looks so good.

1609
01:41:30,439 --> 01:41:34,279
Yep, absolutely, I don't know
anything else, Mike. I mean

1610
01:41:34,319 --> 01:41:36,600
I said, I k sake very
good. I want to play more of

1611
01:41:36,640 --> 01:41:39,720
that. It's a ton It's it's
not quite what I was expecting. I

1612
01:41:39,760 --> 01:41:44,000
didn't realize how flexible the combat system
was. Like I know the game is

1613
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:46,159
all about combos, but I thought
like it was traditional combos, like you

1614
01:41:46,199 --> 01:41:49,880
know, push this button and this
but this button. The way they actually

1615
01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:56,840
work with you kind of like are
chaining specific beginners linkers and then enders,

1616
01:41:56,960 --> 01:42:00,000
and there's like a lot of complexity
to that, and the way your component

1617
01:42:00,079 --> 01:42:03,319
can kind of guess which buttons you're
pushing to counter, right, It's it's

1618
01:42:03,479 --> 01:42:08,359
very interesting, and it's interesting in
a way that you understand right away.

1619
01:42:08,399 --> 01:42:10,640
Like I basically been playing the game
for two days, and of course I

1620
01:42:10,640 --> 01:42:14,119
don't understand like the bigger complexities,
but I get it, like I get

1621
01:42:14,279 --> 01:42:17,079
the game now, I understand what
I need to do. So really enjoying

1622
01:42:17,119 --> 01:42:19,840
it and it's fun that this game
is getting a new life. But I

1623
01:42:20,079 --> 01:42:25,800
really really do hope that they just
make another one with like very similar mechanics.

1624
01:42:28,600 --> 01:42:30,840
The I mean, I think they're
going to make another one. They

1625
01:42:30,920 --> 01:42:32,239
keep wanting, they keep They even
said that we would love to make another

1626
01:42:32,279 --> 01:42:35,399
one. They're going to make another
one, and I think Iron Galaxy is

1627
01:42:35,479 --> 01:42:39,239
going to oversee it, and I
think that would be fantastic because they really

1628
01:42:39,239 --> 01:42:41,760
seem to understand what made that game
good in the first place when they took

1629
01:42:41,800 --> 01:42:45,039
it over from Double Helix sitting that's
right. Okay, well wait wait,

1630
01:42:45,079 --> 01:42:48,680
wait man, this back is even
more decent than I thought this order Ecclesia

1631
01:42:48,760 --> 01:42:51,800
box. I mean it's going all
the way down to the crack. You

1632
01:42:51,880 --> 01:42:55,640
see that. Oh we get some
we get some ass cleavage. Yeah,

1633
01:42:58,880 --> 01:43:01,239
yeah, it's in the chat right
now, like the YouTube chat. Okay,

1634
01:43:02,239 --> 01:43:09,560
man, I forgot that back.
So I think that it's the ass.

1635
01:43:09,600 --> 01:43:12,239
Once you see the crack, that's
no longer your back, that's not

1636
01:43:12,319 --> 01:43:15,199
even once you start to see the
back begin to have that bump of the

1637
01:43:15,279 --> 01:43:19,039
butt cheeks, the buttocks, that's
a buttocks, that's a butter like those

1638
01:43:19,079 --> 01:43:23,680
two circles. Like you're just saying
that because you're used to those. The

1639
01:43:23,800 --> 01:43:35,840
Tina women with that with big butts
could incredible too real? All right?

1640
01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:41,239
What was yeah? Chance to sit
our uh? This is that shot up

1641
01:43:41,239 --> 01:43:43,720
to the like near the top of
my Game of the Year list. This

1642
01:43:43,880 --> 01:43:48,319
is a yes, well tell me
that I got no time. Well,

1643
01:43:49,199 --> 01:43:53,079
let me be clear here. How
do you feel about ober Den? I

1644
01:43:53,199 --> 01:43:56,159
know you played it recently, spare
my feeling you liked it? All right?

1645
01:43:56,399 --> 01:44:01,439
I didn't don't play this. Sorry
what you? Mary Kish and Mike

1646
01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:04,279
and Maharty are like whatever ober Den, And I'm like, this is a

1647
01:44:04,319 --> 01:44:09,439
religious experience that I think. That's
the problem is people like you're talking about

1648
01:44:09,439 --> 01:44:12,119
being your experience. I was kind
of like waiting for that. I was

1649
01:44:12,159 --> 01:44:15,119
like, oh you just yeah,
I get it. Okay, Yeah,

1650
01:44:15,239 --> 01:44:20,359
so chances scenario is a lot like
that, but with language instead of kazoo

1651
01:44:20,479 --> 01:44:26,159
nuts and bolts. I guess better
than Smash Brothers Bro. I still can't.

1652
01:44:26,479 --> 01:44:29,560
I can't believe that's even on your
Twitter if you were Smash Brothers Bro.

1653
01:44:29,960 --> 01:44:34,279
Like how that game's legacy is negative? You people are insane. I'm

1654
01:44:34,279 --> 01:44:40,239
sorry, Mike, since you brought
up I want to mention one that might

1655
01:44:40,319 --> 01:44:42,079
give you a pop. No,
no, no, you're gonna like this.

1656
01:44:42,359 --> 01:44:45,479
Someone said where's brawl? And someone
respine with it tripped a top five.

1657
01:44:51,119 --> 01:44:55,359
That's good. I gotta they get
a gold star. Never mind that

1658
01:44:55,520 --> 01:45:00,319
they get it. Yeah, man, all im seeing that. My response

1659
01:45:00,439 --> 01:45:03,800
is is Banjo Kazu the Nuts and
Bolts is getting the love it deserves.

1660
01:45:04,800 --> 01:45:09,720
So all the other people were just
never played it. What they could say,

1661
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:13,600
Oh my god? All right,
yeah, Chance. The scenario is

1662
01:45:13,640 --> 01:45:17,960
my what do you think that game
sort one hundred thousand copies? Yeah?

1663
01:45:18,159 --> 01:45:20,880
Okay, it didn't sell very well? What did it? It probably got

1664
01:45:21,000 --> 01:45:25,319
like three hundred parding copies? No, no, of course, but it

1665
01:45:25,640 --> 01:45:30,800
should be shamed for its failure.
Chance scenaris a game where it's like,

1666
01:45:30,920 --> 01:45:35,560
uh, there are made up languages
and they are mostly symbol based languages,

1667
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:44,359
and you need to reverse engineer how
they're working so that you can decode them

1668
01:45:44,399 --> 01:45:46,159
and understand what these people are saying, what these machines are trying to do

1669
01:45:46,359 --> 01:45:51,880
things like that, and it's not
prescribed to you. You need to figure

1670
01:45:51,880 --> 01:45:56,319
it out on your own. And
usually this works. You go around the

1671
01:45:56,359 --> 01:45:59,119
world and you see enough clues,
and then your little guy that you're playing

1672
01:45:59,159 --> 01:46:01,880
as right some pictures in the book
and creates a little circles next to them,

1673
01:46:01,880 --> 01:46:04,720
and you're supposed to put the symbols
next there to be like this means

1674
01:46:04,760 --> 01:46:09,319
that, this means book, this
means plural things like that. Speaking on

1675
01:46:09,399 --> 01:46:11,960
Mary Kirsch, I think I saw
her play this game at some point.

1676
01:46:12,079 --> 01:46:14,960
Maybe this sounds familiar. Yeah,
yeah, probably, I think she likes

1677
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:18,520
this game. Yeah, So it's
it's cool because like you start on this

1678
01:46:18,600 --> 01:46:23,079
area and there's one language, and
then you go to the next area and

1679
01:46:23,119 --> 01:46:25,279
you're like, it's probably gonna work
the same, and it's like, no,

1680
01:46:25,439 --> 01:46:29,560
this language has different syntax in different
rules, and they put the subject

1681
01:46:29,560 --> 01:46:31,479
at the beginning like some languages do, like Yoda, the way Yoda speaks,

1682
01:46:31,680 --> 01:46:33,960
that's how they work. And then
other ones are like, this is

1683
01:46:34,039 --> 01:46:39,079
a very scientific culture and they're gonna
have lots of like numbers, and the

1684
01:46:39,439 --> 01:46:42,840
way that they do their math is
like it can go up to a number,

1685
01:46:42,880 --> 01:46:44,600
can go up to a thousand.
You got to kind of figure out

1686
01:46:44,640 --> 01:46:48,479
how that works. And all of
these things are there's no combat, it's

1687
01:46:48,520 --> 01:46:55,680
all just intuiting how these systems actually
function and having that opportunity to like use

1688
01:46:55,720 --> 01:46:59,479
your brain to reverse engineer. That
is what I really like in games like

1689
01:46:59,600 --> 01:47:00,960
this. And I got that feeling
from Oberden. I get it from this

1690
01:47:01,119 --> 01:47:04,239
and it's just it's blowing my mind. So really really like it. And

1691
01:47:04,239 --> 01:47:08,079
I'm glad games like this keep getting
made because I'm like, you know,

1692
01:47:08,159 --> 01:47:10,560
obernin seems like so hard to make. How do you even test a game

1693
01:47:10,600 --> 01:47:14,560
like that? How do you know
if it's well, uh, you know,

1694
01:47:14,720 --> 01:47:16,039
balanced for a new player or something
like that. And I'm like,

1695
01:47:16,039 --> 01:47:18,800
god, it seems really difficult.
So the fact that more and more games

1696
01:47:18,840 --> 01:47:21,520
are kind of coming out in this
vein, it's very exciting to me.

1697
01:47:21,680 --> 01:47:27,720
So yeah, this is in my
top five for sure, top five yep,

1698
01:47:27,720 --> 01:47:30,479
wow, okay, it just it
just fits with my the way I

1699
01:47:30,600 --> 01:47:31,479
like to play games a lot.
Yeah, no, it's it's fine.

1700
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:36,319
It's you know, it's it's below
residut before though, right, I mean

1701
01:47:38,399 --> 01:47:41,800
yeah, right, I've already popped
so many blood vessels. Just lie to

1702
01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:44,800
me. If it's not, I
said, yeah, I'm so yeah,

1703
01:47:44,840 --> 01:47:47,199
it'd like better. Oh yeah,
yeah, I mean of course, Mike.

1704
01:47:47,920 --> 01:47:51,239
Yeah, like this and Rasle four
is like it's one of the best

1705
01:47:51,239 --> 01:47:55,079
action games ever made. I mean
it probably is the best action game ever

1706
01:47:55,159 --> 01:47:58,760
made. Yeah. Actually, how
you doing to That's why I said it

1707
01:47:58,840 --> 01:48:03,479
to you? Okay, yeah,
gotcha, Mike, I love resid Evil

1708
01:48:03,560 --> 01:48:06,760
for what do you want from it? I'm just god, you played it?

1709
01:48:06,800 --> 01:48:10,199
Whatever you played it? Oh no, it's it's awesome. It's awesome.

1710
01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:15,840
Yeah, right, saying say it
again. Also apparently I was pretty

1711
01:48:15,880 --> 01:48:18,760
close. Uh but that's appost about
one hundred and forty thousand apparently. Wow,

1712
01:48:19,039 --> 01:48:23,119
man, that's why we don't get
a new Banger game. No,

1713
01:48:23,720 --> 01:48:28,119
obviously, yeah, that's why we
did have to absolutely all right, that's

1714
01:48:28,159 --> 01:48:30,720
what I've been playing. I've been
catching up on boulders Gate three, but

1715
01:48:30,720 --> 01:48:33,439
I think I'm putting that aside.
I wanted to play only two on stream,

1716
01:48:33,479 --> 01:48:35,000
but now I'm at a plaint where
I just got to play that on

1717
01:48:35,039 --> 01:48:38,560
my own. So I'm gonna I'll
beat that game here at some point.

1718
01:48:38,680 --> 01:48:42,520
And then other than that, it's
I don't know, I might play a

1719
01:48:42,520 --> 01:48:45,159
little more Survivor. That might be
the other game here. So yeah,

1720
01:48:45,279 --> 01:48:46,960
I mean, gosh again, say
this game is fun. I wish I

1721
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:50,720
could play all it's so. I
mean, I I did a good job

1722
01:48:50,800 --> 01:48:54,079
playing and beating a lot of games
this year. I just did. I

1723
01:48:54,079 --> 01:48:57,359
don't want to, right, but
and even still I feel bad about missing

1724
01:48:57,439 --> 01:49:00,119
some games. Yep. Oh yeah, that's I yet to have groups of

1725
01:49:00,159 --> 01:49:03,399
people come together and figure these things
out. Yep, absolutely, and I

1726
01:49:03,760 --> 01:49:10,079
look forward to doing that starting tomorrow. Everybody to tune in a noon are

1727
01:49:10,399 --> 01:49:12,800
Eastern? I think, yeah,
are you gonna send me that dog?

1728
01:49:12,880 --> 01:49:15,079
By way? Am I just gonna
find about these categories on the fly?

1729
01:49:15,199 --> 01:49:16,279
I guess sent it to you right
now? Sean continded to you, probably,

1730
01:49:16,279 --> 01:49:21,520
I don't think se I think Sean
has it so cool? All right,

1731
01:49:21,640 --> 01:49:24,560
Mike, should we get out of
here? Well, we got some

1732
01:49:24,640 --> 01:49:27,279
more super chats though. After these
super chats, all right, go ahead

1733
01:49:27,279 --> 01:49:29,600
and hit me with them. Yeah, let's see where were we? Uh?

1734
01:49:30,960 --> 01:49:35,600
I think? Yeah, there was
quite a few here we Where are

1735
01:49:35,680 --> 01:49:39,279
we? Okay? Right here?
From oh grug When you guys have your

1736
01:49:39,520 --> 01:49:42,600
edge and Christian like feud, I
think we're having it right now. Which

1737
01:49:42,600 --> 01:49:45,760
one of you will act kind of
normal and which one will send a dinosaur

1738
01:49:45,840 --> 01:49:53,680
to kill the other one? Well? Wait, wait what you Christian?

1739
01:49:53,800 --> 01:49:57,000
A different Christian? No? No, but somebody sends a dinosaur? What

1740
01:49:57,159 --> 01:49:59,720
the fuck? Yeah? Watch aw, come on, Yeah, I'd be

1741
01:49:59,720 --> 01:50:02,600
proud one of the men controls a
dinosaur. Do you even understand wrestling?

1742
01:50:03,119 --> 01:50:06,199
It's incredible. I need to get
on that ship right the funck now?

1743
01:50:08,279 --> 01:50:11,279
Uh yeah, I think to be
clear, I think I'll be the one

1744
01:50:11,319 --> 01:50:14,479
with the dinosaur killing Me and my
friends had a thing we would say to

1745
01:50:14,479 --> 01:50:16,520
each other whenever we were mad at
each other. We would say, I'm

1746
01:50:16,600 --> 01:50:20,039
going to send a predator to killing
you. I don't know why that was.

1747
01:50:21,560 --> 01:50:26,640
You said the movie character a predator
to go a not any predator.

1748
01:50:26,680 --> 01:50:30,560
You're gonna send the prest predator.
I don't be predator. Somehow we have

1749
01:50:30,720 --> 01:50:38,359
the ability to sitcom on simmaries.
I just thought you meant like a predatory

1750
01:50:38,560 --> 01:50:41,640
animal, and I was imagine like, oh yeah, like saying like a

1751
01:50:41,800 --> 01:50:44,960
badger at him or something. You
know, we just said the predator.

1752
01:50:45,720 --> 01:50:49,319
Shageer me Meto says. Me and
my friend cool Chris played we music during

1753
01:50:49,359 --> 01:50:54,199
Thanksgiving dinner. Definitely one of the
top five. Man, How did we

1754
01:50:54,279 --> 01:50:57,279
not even think about playing we music
at the thing. I don't even know

1755
01:50:57,279 --> 01:51:00,199
if Dan has Wee music. I
don't know if I've ever played more did

1756
01:51:00,239 --> 01:51:03,119
like ten seconds of Wei music at
Best Buy? Yeah, I don't think

1757
01:51:03,119 --> 01:51:06,840
I ever really played that game.
I'm actually try and have fun WI music.

1758
01:51:06,920 --> 01:51:11,840
Maybe it can be done. I
doubt it's impossible. Jacob Bench says,

1759
01:51:11,880 --> 01:51:14,560
this is bench JC. I'm giving
you money so I can yo the

1760
01:51:14,600 --> 01:51:15,600
bral Hayston saying that's right. This
is one of the brawl ones. Here's

1761
01:51:15,600 --> 01:51:18,439
the other brawl one. Here's be
a Metal talking about WI music again.

1762
01:51:18,880 --> 01:51:23,600
Ol Groux says, make Dan teach
you about Command and Conquer. Yeah he

1763
01:51:23,800 --> 01:51:27,119
uh he had u yes, yeh
here looks commanded Command of Conquer swag.

1764
01:51:27,399 --> 01:51:30,560
That's interesting because he doesn't strike me
as an arts guy like at all,

1765
01:51:30,920 --> 01:51:34,600
because he would just like build the
biggest army of dumb ass ship and then

1766
01:51:34,640 --> 01:51:36,680
just said it all at once,
and that's how he would play those games.

1767
01:51:36,840 --> 01:51:41,119
Yeah, I could see that.
I could see that. Matt Muky

1768
01:51:41,119 --> 01:51:45,039
says nuts in Bolton in persona form
made delicious Like I said, Yeah,

1769
01:51:45,119 --> 01:51:48,479
there you go. I'm sure what
says Order Clacio doesn't eight too g T

1770
01:51:48,680 --> 01:51:51,279
A four disrespect. Yeah, I
do feel bad like g T A four

1771
01:51:51,399 --> 01:51:57,119
just doesn't do more for me and
Order Clayzya I want to like I would.

1772
01:51:57,319 --> 01:52:00,399
I kind of want to play that
now, it's just uh don't really.

1773
01:52:00,520 --> 01:52:02,479
I don't have a copy of it
for my DS don't really have my

1774
01:52:02,600 --> 01:52:08,000
DS ready to go either, and
I'm playing through a Star oceanal my switch.

1775
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:12,199
Anyways, that's my portable gaming right
now. Uh, Michael Leary says,

1776
01:52:12,439 --> 01:52:14,800
you're about to be canceled for this
list that I'm here for it.

1777
01:52:14,920 --> 01:52:17,520
Go for it, do it,
do your worst, come at us.

1778
01:52:17,840 --> 01:52:23,680
Look if Saint Smashbur's Brawl is not
that good, is that something you're gonna

1779
01:52:23,720 --> 01:52:28,920
cancel me for it? Just cancel
me already coming out of here. I

1780
01:52:29,000 --> 01:52:30,920
did get one that says, y'all
legit looked at GTA four middle gear solid

1781
01:52:30,960 --> 01:52:34,720
for and Brawl and decided to instead
put in Banjo Kazooi, nuts and bolts.

1782
01:52:34,960 --> 01:52:39,880
This is why there are still wars
in the world. So yeah,

1783
01:52:41,239 --> 01:52:45,840
I just I am just so confused. Was I actually living in some bubble?

1784
01:52:45,880 --> 01:52:50,319
Everyone's like, guys, the fans
moded Brawl so much to make it

1785
01:52:50,399 --> 01:52:54,720
playable that it became a new game. That's what type of fans. What

1786
01:52:54,840 --> 01:52:59,319
type of the people actually playing the
game the most? Not the people who

1787
01:52:59,399 --> 01:53:02,600
were five it played it for a
weekend after their friends Greg's house, after

1788
01:53:02,680 --> 01:53:10,119
their mom ya cookies. Jesus Christ, I love I love it all right,

1789
01:53:10,159 --> 01:53:15,079
all right you Peka Blue says you
chose a game by pissed Jug dude

1790
01:53:15,720 --> 01:53:20,520
for a game you could defend helms
Deep from a zombie invasion? Nuts and

1791
01:53:21,399 --> 01:53:29,079
bolts, What game could you defend
helms Deep from a zombie invasion? I

1792
01:53:29,159 --> 01:53:30,920
mean there was that was this the
year that that Lord of the Rings game

1793
01:53:30,960 --> 01:53:34,119
that was like battle fucking out.
I did like that game. I don't.

1794
01:53:34,720 --> 01:53:38,479
I don't think it's going to make
any top five lost battle it's it's

1795
01:53:38,520 --> 01:53:44,439
better than Battlefront two. Of course
I'm going to get you. You can't.

1796
01:53:44,520 --> 01:53:47,199
Look, I can't. I can't. We can't do that. Piss

1797
01:53:47,319 --> 01:53:54,279
Jug was a misunderstanding, Like it
was he was tweeting a picture of something

1798
01:53:54,359 --> 01:53:57,560
that he was putting into the Witness
as like a reference to the character that

1799
01:53:57,720 --> 01:54:00,600
is stuck in the Witness. It's
it's appear in that jobbing blow defender.

1800
01:54:02,600 --> 01:54:08,399
There's plenty of real reasons to think
he's a weird dude, although that moment

1801
01:54:08,560 --> 01:54:11,279
was a really cool moment on Twitter
when everyone's just like, what is piss

1802
01:54:11,359 --> 01:54:14,279
Jug over here? What's he doing
with this thing? That was good stuff?

1803
01:54:15,119 --> 01:54:17,239
Nick here says, first super Chap, I would think Nick if you

1804
01:54:17,319 --> 01:54:20,520
smoke weed and you get high,
you should watch Soja Boy's Braid review.

1805
01:54:20,560 --> 01:54:24,800
I remember that, I do.
I do not remember that that was the

1806
01:54:24,880 --> 01:54:31,920
thing. And then Connell Wood says, Ecclesia robbed Shanoah as an incredible zign.

1807
01:54:33,399 --> 01:54:38,840
Yeah, she sure does, doesn't
she isn't. Isn't Shoah in the

1808
01:54:38,960 --> 01:54:43,840
name of Monk's assistant? That name's
kilt rude for me as a Pennsylvania And

1809
01:54:44,159 --> 01:54:46,399
isn't it the name of the evil
organization of fining Fantasy seven or some bullshit?

1810
01:54:46,439 --> 01:54:54,159
I don't know. No, that's
close. Close clot get points,

1811
01:54:54,199 --> 01:54:58,920
I get points, all right?
Uh so I do it? I guess,

1812
01:54:59,159 --> 01:55:03,960
yeah, Well you gonna ever No, I just I'm I'm actually confused.

1813
01:55:04,039 --> 01:55:09,000
I'm like, I have a Bernstein
Bears moment. I'm worried I slipped

1814
01:55:09,000 --> 01:55:15,279
into another dimension. I just I
mean, it's you were a melee player.

1815
01:55:15,720 --> 01:55:23,399
The probably the places you spent like
time online were from people with a

1816
01:55:23,439 --> 01:55:26,680
similar background. I guess you're right, they all hate it. Yeah,

1817
01:55:28,000 --> 01:55:29,560
I guess. I mean, I
guess I was just in a bit of

1818
01:55:29,560 --> 01:55:32,359
an echo champer. But they're clear
I agree with that echo chamber, right,

1819
01:55:32,600 --> 01:55:35,439
Yes, But yeah, all right, I'm glad. Hey, I'm

1820
01:55:35,439 --> 01:55:39,560
glad you all like Supermas buzz Ball. It just wasn't for me. Sorry,

1821
01:55:40,560 --> 01:55:42,840
all right, it just frozen form
me again. We should we should

1822
01:55:42,920 --> 01:55:44,760

Mike, you ready to get out of

1823

01:55:48,359 --> 01:55:51,840

1839
01:56:45,560 --> 01:56:50,239

Yeah, I don't know. Like Mike

1840
01:56:50,239 --> 01:56:54,840
I said, tune in for that
giant bomb stuff. We did a new

lot of fun. Listen to the voicemail

01:57:01,279 --> 01:57:03,039
I wasn't even there. It was
about me a lot. I like,

1844
01:57:03,199 --> 01:57:06,039
Yeah, it's a show just about

01:57:20,039 --> 01:57:23,159
feel like Grand Theft Auto six is

01:57:23,199 --> 01:57:26,199
be like I should just do an
episode, but we can always just get

01:57:33,479 --> 01:57:36,319
We'll see, we'll make something happen
and there will be a lot of stuff

1856
01:57:36,520 --> 01:57:39,760
and we'll do some cool stuff that
we're all going to be in person.

1857
01:57:40,279 --> 01:57:42,880
We'll make some tiktoks or something like
that. Oh also, if you're a

1864
01:58:15,600 --> 01:58:18,520
say they are, Zelda, that's
fine. Just mak a fool himself.

1865
01:58:29,239 --> 01:58:32,399
Beata Games. If you want to
hear about gaming in a quasi intelligence matters,

1866
01:58:32,640 --> 01:58:44,960
you can't go wrong. Five stars. Ouch guy, Thanks thanks breaking.

1867
01:58:45,560 --> 01:58:49,159
This is a break break. I
guess it's like a little hot,

1868
01:58:49,560 --> 01:58:53,279
like you can probably turn down his
game a touch, right, Yeah,

1869
01:58:53,319 --> 01:58:55,960
I turned off my game a little
bit when I was streaming because people said

1870
01:58:55,960 --> 01:58:58,319
I was low. Just a touch, Mike, it's not. It's not

1871
01:58:58,520 --> 01:59:00,279
terrible, but yeah, I just
turned it down this ever so slightly peaking.

1872
01:59:00,800 --> 01:59:05,520
Yeah, flowered, that's better when
I'm back, sure, smoking on

1873
01:59:05,680 --> 01:59:10,960
that puck? Sorry, what's going
on? Chat? What's going on?

1874
01:59:11,039 --> 01:59:15,199
Shot? What's the Red Wings score? ESPN? Red? I bit you?

1875
01:59:15,279 --> 01:59:18,920
That's a that's a racist name.
It's it's not. It's completely made

1876
01:59:18,960 --> 01:59:21,439
up thing, but we will probably
find a way for it to be racist

1877
01:59:21,439 --> 01:59:25,600
though, if we wanted, if
we worked hard enough, don't try me.

1878
01:59:25,960 --> 01:59:29,119
Hey, hey, they're playing the
black Hawks. Okay, and that's

1879
01:59:29,640 --> 01:59:33,840
a Native American tribe that you keep
saying that that that combination of words like

1880
01:59:33,960 --> 01:59:42,319
it doesn't sound like black cocks and
weird. Ah, well, now then

1881
01:59:42,439 --> 01:59:44,760
I'm never gonna be able to unhear
that. Thanks a lot, Christian,

1882
01:59:44,760 --> 01:59:46,760
I appreciate it. They won five
to one. Hell, yeah, let's

1883
01:59:46,800 --> 01:59:50,159
go. They can't forget a hat
trick. I hope con forgot a hat

1884
01:59:50,159 --> 01:59:56,920
trick. Got a hat trick is
hat trick? It means the same thing

1885
01:59:57,039 --> 01:59:59,800
like in soccer, like you get
treated. It means the same thing as

1886
02:00:00,159 --> 02:00:11,560
in soccer. Yes, okay,
Disney versus Ultraman, Well, Ultraman can

1887
02:00:11,640 --> 02:00:15,600
turn like giant and like just crush
Disney. Like the person and the park

1888
02:00:17,199 --> 02:00:27,239
and the head and the brain.
Yeah you think that, you think after

1889
02:00:27,359 --> 02:00:30,720
after Elon apologized, they're gonna reconnect
the brain to the to the Twitter or

1890
02:00:30,840 --> 02:00:35,039
that's just just done. That's too
late for that. Oh yes, son,

1891
02:00:35,840 --> 02:00:39,199
hey, and hockey they throw hats
on ice. Of course, what

1892
02:00:39,279 --> 02:00:45,680
do they do in other countries not
throw hats during a hat trick? All

1893
02:00:45,880 --> 02:00:49,000
me allow me to act like a
twenty year old and say, that's kind

1894
02:00:49,039 --> 02:00:54,760
of cringe. That's a cringe.
What's cringe is if you are wearing a

1895
02:00:54,800 --> 02:00:57,199
hat and you don't throw it when
someone gets a hat trick on your team,

1896
02:00:57,359 --> 02:01:00,239
that would be cringe. That would
do the fun thing? What happened

1897

social contract, then yes it is.

little people drive too early. Well,

1935
02:04:04,039 --> 02:04:08,359
you know, jeff Any teacher,
I use this website. If you want

1936
02:04:08,600 --> 02:04:13,720
maximum engagement, you need to put
below the list all the games that aren't

1937
02:04:13,760 --> 02:04:15,560
on the list, suckers, and
then put all the all the good games

1938
02:04:15,640 --> 02:04:23,319
runner ups all right. Next time
Clia came came out of that year,

1939
02:04:23,479 --> 02:04:27,479
oh my god. Yeah, it
was like I was like, I should

1940
02:04:27,520 --> 02:04:30,920
have mentioned that, but then we
got to honed in on Banjo, and

1941
02:04:30,960 --> 02:04:32,039
I'm like, there's no point in
messing this up. Now. The games

1942
02:04:32,039 --> 02:04:36,560
I like made the list or Clay
is really good and actually probably for the

1943
02:04:40,600 --> 02:04:45,520
one is on the left, for
the two everybody else. I was just

1944
02:04:45,640 --> 02:04:49,439
gonna say that the other fucking weapons. Lucy's mad at us for leaving off

1945
02:04:49,720 --> 02:04:54,680

1946
02:04:54,680 --> 02:04:59,119

1947
02:04:59,239 --> 02:05:03,560

gonna yell at me. Uh, didn't

Spore? Yeah? Yeah, Viva pin

1949
02:05:08,399 --> 02:05:11,720
Well, no, because nothing is
actually like Spoor, but Viva pad is

1950
02:05:11,720 --> 02:05:15,600
great at least, and Spore isn't
like viv and Pinott a lot, and

1951
02:05:16,039 --> 02:05:19,800
that's when I want to replace people
were so excited for Sport that was so

1952
02:05:20,039 --> 02:05:24,119
weird. But then I was so
excited for Sport. I don't know,

1953

little like Animal Creation game or Whire
