I am your host, Jan 3 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:41,159 Choa. Welcome to God's favorite podcast today. Don't forget to either start defrost. 4 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,439 Maybe it's too early to defrost your turkeys, but maybe order the turkey, 5 00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:50,520 maybe completely ditch the turkey and go Hamlet just go ham. Let's go 6 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:55,159 Ham with the holidays. Joining me co captain of the ship Ham enthusiast and 7 00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,799 aficionado Jeff Grebb. I'm gonna do a turkey on Thanksgiving. Also have some 8 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,959 ham of some sort. But listen, I unlike some I don't have any 9 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,760 metals. So I do have these probiotics though, and so I'm feeling pretty 10 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,400 good here. This is the metal of the body right here. I am 11 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,120 the I am a walking gold medal. I don't need anything else. He's 12 00:01:15,239 --> 00:01:19,319 pro probiotics, pro ham, pro turkey, pro whatever you gotta have for 13 00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:26,760 your protein on the holidays. Jeff Beckler, Hey, that's all correct. 14 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,319 Those are all correct things you said about me. Uh, the person who's 15 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:37,400 preparing my Thanksgiving, that's right, it's my Thanksgiving texted my wife. My 16 00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:41,879 wife and I and was like, I should you not? She goes, 17 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,680 how do you feel about turkey? And I was just like, is this 18 00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:49,079 about Thanksgiving? And then she followed up with like, I'm thinking of pulling 19 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,040 an audible. How do you feel about brisket for this? And I was 20 00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:59,200 like, fire it up because turkey is overrated poultry. Okay, let's go 21 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,480 with the brisket, boys and girls. He's making it. He's making a 22 00:02:04,519 --> 00:02:07,680 face. Maybe it's because his neck hurts from carrying so much God dang gold 23 00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:15,240 around his neck. Make a triumphant return to giant bomb. We have Trivia 24 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:21,919 cruise ship, Olympic medal winning person captain. Now I'm the keg y. 25 00:02:22,479 --> 00:02:28,960 Hey hi, look, of course briskets better than turkey, but come onsivy 26 00:02:29,439 --> 00:02:31,919 have turkey. I don't care what it tastes like. I gotta do I 27 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:38,599 do? Who wants to waste the meal? Don't waste the meal? Even 28 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,159 overrated. Everyone knows what turkey is. It's like chicken. Of course, 29 00:02:43,479 --> 00:02:46,199 of course turkey is whatever. That's why you smother it in gravy. Then 30 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:52,159 it's amazing you smother everything in gravy or anything in gravy. It's it's our 31 00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:54,080 culture. I mean, it's not very good culture, but its culture. 32 00:02:54,199 --> 00:02:59,520 But we're even birds are above turkey asip from chicken, which of course is 33 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,919 and maybe a cornish hen. Maybe I don't want to peasant. I don't 34 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,360 want to know. I don't want no quail duck. Look, we all 35 00:03:06,479 --> 00:03:08,680 like we're big boys and tried duck and pretended like we liked it. But 36 00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:15,520 come on, prepared by certain Asian fusion restaurants other than that, Mike, 37 00:03:15,719 --> 00:03:21,639 uh, the the phrase I don't want no pheasant is very funny to me 38 00:03:21,719 --> 00:03:25,360 for some reason. I'm glad you liked that. So you know I've had 39 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,439 an Ostrich burger before. Oh how sorry? It was all right, it 40 00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:35,159 felt I don't know if I'm using this word properly. Gamey, here's some 41 00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:38,719 here's some Disney trivia for you and the killiman Jar Safaris and Animal Kingdom. 42 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:44,599 When they point out Ostrich eggs to you on the right, yes a fake 43 00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:47,199 Hey, no, no, no, Mike, they're Disney reel. Well, 44 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,120 I mean there are real ostriches around there, so you could be mistaken 45 00:03:52,479 --> 00:03:54,479 for thinking that they're real. But those are not real eggs. The tour 46 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,840 guide refused to say they were fake. He only wanted to say Disney reel. 47 00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:01,960 And I said, wow, man, this must suck to be Oh, 48 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:10,000 you were the guy who asked my kid, and the truth it was 49 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,400 my kid, and this stranger lied to his goddamn face. Hey. When 50 00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:17,240 I was cleaning up and we were liquidating for a certain show that I used 51 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,920 to work on, I found in a refrigerator, buried in the back, 52 00:04:21,319 --> 00:04:28,399 uh, encased in styrofoam in Ostrich egg Oh that's like that Cowboy Bebop episode. 53 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,639 It's exactly like that Cowboy keep Up episode. And then I felt very 54 00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:36,279 conflicted of whether or not to keep it cold or just immediately throw it onto 55 00:04:36,319 --> 00:04:42,160 the ground, the ground. And then when I went to the dump, 56 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,720 my my compatriot, my my friend may have threw it on the ground. 57 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:53,560 Oh oh an old like they are like big, right, the Ostrich eggs. 58 00:04:53,639 --> 00:04:56,759 Yeah, I don't have a lot of experience with Ostrich eggs. You've 59 00:04:56,759 --> 00:05:00,439 seen Willy Wonka like ye, like the big honkin things. I think like 60 00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:03,759 an goose eggs actually okay egg but big. It's hard to imagine. Uh. 61 00:05:03,879 --> 00:05:05,920 Yeah, listen, you gotta throw those on the ground. If I 62 00:05:05,959 --> 00:05:09,079 had one of those, that's the kind of thing that you guys ever see 63 00:05:09,079 --> 00:05:12,160 that YouTube channel Man News. It's the kind of thing to be on Man 64 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,399 News and the guy finds a bunch of like ostrich eggs, He's like, 65 00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:16,240 oh man, you know he's gonna throw it to the ground. Then he 66 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,240 does, and then everyone cheers. There's something about a very large egg that 67 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:25,600 I find deeply upsetting, similar to why I'm like kind of scared of sunflowers, 68 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,079 Like, have you ever seen a fucking big ass sunflower? Yeah? 69 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,040 Like they are fucking horrifying. They're like meaty and weird and they look alive. 70 00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:41,480 There's something about an actual gigantic sunflower where I'm just like, right, 71 00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:45,800 that's not right. That feels like we did some like Ninja turtles oohz shit 72 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,680 exactly. I was gonna bring up a turtle secret of the Ooze where they 73 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,759 have a sunflower and pretend that it's a dandelion that got hit by the ooze. 74 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,360 Yeah. Yeah, Well it's being about oohs and secrets. I've been 75 00:05:58,399 --> 00:06:02,199 oozing because we've been holding on to some secrets. Gentlemen. We've seen some 76 00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:13,600 losing. Mike's been cruising, I've been doing and I'm specific I'm drunk on 77 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:19,879 this show.

Baby. We 169 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,919 could beat the train, is what I say. As the train approaches. 170 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,519 That's that's what we always says. It's got to jump on it, and 171 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,080 then you jump on favor. The problem in Spider Man two is that Peter 172 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,679 shouldn't have stopped the train. He should have just pushed it so he clears 173 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,039 the river. Exactly. It's just a boy. I'm just a man and 174 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,200 you'll get more up beats like that during the Game of the Year discussion because 175 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,679 we've got a lot of great topics and a lot of great y categories and 176 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,360 stuff like that. So yeah, yeah, it happened. A lot of 177 00:13:03,879 --> 00:13:07,639 It's gonna be great, great, great, great, great fun times. 178 00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:11,519 If you're in the Los Angeles area southern California, we'd love to see you. 179 00:13:11,919 --> 00:13:15,639 I'll give everyone No, I'm not gonna say I'm gonna give everyone a 180 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:20,200 hug. I'm gonna give everyone mouth kiss. I used to kiss everyone on 181 00:13:20,279 --> 00:13:24,279 the cheek. How do you think I feel? Polite and thoughtful head nod 182 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,200 where I just look at you and like proud of you. That means a 183 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,000 lot to me, proud to you. That's right. Just start bumping butts 184 00:13:31,039 --> 00:13:33,440 as a greeting because like those, there's like a lot of padding there, 185 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:39,039 you know, there's not a lot of like actual flesh contact. I think 186 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,799 just a nice friendly button bump that won't catch on. Mike, I like 187 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:46,399 where your head's on. Hey, December seventh, the Game of Wars. 188 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,519 December ninth is the giant on THINGA say, Mike, what's on December eighth? 189 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:56,320 What's on Deber eightes birthday. We better find a cheesecake factory. Let's 190 00:13:56,399 --> 00:14:01,480 go. Yeah, Okay, I'm just gonna leave this poster for the rest 191 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,000 of the time. We have one more special announcement, and I didn't clear 192 00:14:05,039 --> 00:14:07,919 this with everyone. The announcement is Mike is going to tell us about his 193 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:16,440 vacation. Yeah, what a surprise. Yay, I'm kidding. I want 194 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,440 to hear it. I want to hear Mike, like you were gone for 195 00:14:18,519 --> 00:14:20,120 quite a while, you were on the cruise, was gone for it, 196 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,159 well, like I was only on a cruise for three days and then it 197 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,440 was kind of a normal Disney World trip after that. But the cruise was 198 00:14:28,519 --> 00:14:31,080 definitely the highway, like the most you know, for somebody who goes to 199 00:14:31,159 --> 00:14:33,559 Disney a lot. It's always the most exciting to see the new things. 200 00:14:33,759 --> 00:14:37,159 And I've never been on a cruise or a Disney cruise obviously, so the 201 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,360 Disney cruise, like, wow, this is only new things. That's exciting. 202 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,759 So it was fun night one. A bit of a hiccup. Turns 203 00:14:45,799 --> 00:14:48,399 out those ships move and you can you can get pretty sick if you're not 204 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,639 ready for that. Everyone on a Disney cruise get sick at some point. 205 00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:56,039 Wait, did you get you get you got sick. My understandings, those 206 00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:01,159 cruise ships are like solid, so rock solid that it's impossible for that, 207 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,519 and I feel a move though for sure. That's what I thought, Jeff 208 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,840 going into this swist is what I told myself. It was. This is 209 00:15:07,879 --> 00:15:11,039 a big ship. It was pretty now. Some people were saying, oh, 210 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,559 it was especially bad weather or windy, or like, oh, because 211 00:15:15,559 --> 00:15:18,440 it's a three day cruise, they have to book it a little to get 212 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,799 to Nassau or our first port of call. I don't know whoever it was. 213 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,840 It was it was rocking. Uh. Now you know, doctor Dad 214 00:15:26,919 --> 00:15:28,240 did bring some pills that eventually snapped me out of it. But for a 215 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,320 while there I was like, oh, no, this is just gonna be 216 00:15:31,399 --> 00:15:33,480 my whole three days. This isn't gonna be good. Were you in a 217 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,600 box or something? I don't understand. Why why are you miming like you 218 00:15:37,679 --> 00:15:43,480 were showing the sway? I wasn't in a It was ruby, but uh 219 00:15:45,159 --> 00:15:46,639 I felt bad at first, like because like I was with my dad and 220 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,000 my step mom. We go to dinner. My step mom like left immediately. 221 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,600 I tried to like keep my dad company because he was fine. He 222 00:15:54,679 --> 00:15:56,759 didn't care. Then my food came. I was like, all right. 223 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,879 We had a waiter who had really long name with four a's, so he's 224 00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:03,480 like, oh, just call me, just call me four aces ha ha 225 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,960 ha. And I'm like sitting there green four races, like sees this and 226 00:16:08,039 --> 00:16:11,000 he's like, haha, I guess goofy must be steering the ship. I 227 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:17,679 was like, not now for it. You think that was hilarious and amazing, 228 00:16:18,759 --> 00:16:23,360 Like this sounds like a nightmare. Normally I'd be all about this four 229 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:30,080 races, but right now, please sinking everything I have, so not just 230 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,279 make a mess on your table? How can hid me about? How can 231 00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:36,720 you then tweet about that? How can you have the sickness? Who I 232 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,120 was scared at the time. I didn't want every woe to take Oh, 233 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,320 Mike sick on his cruise the whole time, because yeah, my dad gave 234 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,519 me a pill on a patch. And then the next day we start off 235 00:16:45,679 --> 00:16:51,240 docked at Nassaut anyway, so after that I was, yeah, we were 236 00:16:51,279 --> 00:16:53,039 there's a Bahama cruise. So I didn't go to NASA. I stayed on 237 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,200 the belt because it seemed more fun on there, and I actually had a 238 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,639 few people tell me don't go to nass out They'll rob you. I don't 239 00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:03,440 know, that's just some kind of white person fear that got sprints of me. 240 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,799 But I was like, yeah, well they have a water slide on 241 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,039 the boat. So water slide get robbed? Right?

You go on a ramp. 245 00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:26,240 They have like videos of Mickey and then the water slide goes down and up 246 00:17:26,279 --> 00:17:32,440 because of the jets. Yeah, waterslides can go up? Now what we 247 00:17:32,839 --> 00:17:36,119 But okay, you're being you have to be more specific, like where along 248 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,279 the line does it go up?

Lot, you 252 00:17:51,519 --> 00:17:55,640 know, even though you associate Disney stuff with kids, A lot of adult 253 00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:03,160 stuff like seven eight bars one was the Star water swan, uh said, 254 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,079 a lot of wife swapping.

The world 273 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,680 is full of color. It's the world is a carousel of color, right, 274 00:19:27,839 --> 00:19:30,799 like so they say in Disney. So I had to look at it 275 00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:37,039 all. I want to go home. Mike is He's a Jimmy Buffett fan, 276 00:19:37,079 --> 00:19:40,359 and I think that explains most things about him. Jeff told me Jimmy 277 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,400 Buffett died during Summer game Fest. Yeah, I'm the person that broke the 278 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,519 news to Mike that Jimmy Buffett died. I'm always no matter why you guys 279 00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:49,920 did shots. Yeah tequila, yes exactly. I'm also the person that told 280 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,839 him that Coke zero was ending. So I was there for the two worst 281 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,799 moments of his life. It turns out they just changed the formulas slightly, 282 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,519 so it was okay. Yeah, but hey, in the moment, you 283 00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:03,559 were very dev I gotta get myself some Minati problems.

Even in lines. I didn't wait 320 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,559 too many lines because I'm so good at the lightning ling stuff. The longest 321 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,480 line I waited in was ninety minutes to get that picture with Scrooge McDuck and 322 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,680 Donald Duck together at the Christmas party.

I felt a little awkward about that. They 326 00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:32,240 made you well, it's like like the line you grab their shoulders or what. 327 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,079 I think. I just kind of stood there and let them flank me 328 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,640 and I you know, it's like I think I tried to make a joke 329 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,480 and it was probably awkward, like ha ha, yeah, thanks girls. 330 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,200 I don't know what is this? What am I doing here? I think 331 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,200 it's weird too. I don't want to do this. I said I was 332 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,720 never going to go back to Disney, but I feel like now we're all 333 00:22:52,799 --> 00:22:56,680 gonna be SoCal. That's true, but I do. I think I just 334 00:22:56,759 --> 00:23:00,599 need to go with Mike, like I want to go. It's a good 335 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,279 time. Yeah, I need to be there with you. Man, it 336 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,240 was he was. He was like he's very considered because he like he I 337 00:23:07,279 --> 00:23:08,640 think at that point, like the joy for him is like having you experienced 338 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,440 joy. So it's like, yeah, I got to see all this stuff 339 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,160 really quickly. I'm like, oh, this is a great time. So 340 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,160 yeah, it's good, it's exciting. Let's just cancel the live show and 341 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:26,559 go to Disney. Yeah, Disney on my birthday. It's that always sounds 342 00:23:26,559 --> 00:23:29,640 great. But it's actually a lot harder to get to Disneyland from downtown LA 343 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,000 than you think it is. It's a long ride. It's a long ride. 344 00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:37,279 I remember there, but I remember when Grubb Dan and I jumped onto 345 00:23:37,319 --> 00:23:41,000 the shuttle. It was like a solid hour to get there. Jeezyah, 346 00:23:41,039 --> 00:23:45,559 it is from from where we were in Los Angeles. Well, you know, 347 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:53,480 speaking about uh thirsty costumed characters that was there, that was a stretch. 348 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,400 Sorry, I had I had pluge Eminem's in my mouth. Let me 349 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:03,000 just finish fudge. Eminem's was now like the Brownie ones in the purple bag. 350 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,039 Mm hmm. Yeah, stop doing that with you, all right, 351 00:24:07,079 --> 00:24:11,960 bullsh please? Are we okay with that? You? Oh my god, 352 00:24:11,079 --> 00:24:15,559 Mike. That's just horrifying. Mike is doing the thing where he's like clockwork 353 00:24:15,599 --> 00:24:19,720 oranging himself. Yeah, I'm gonna tell you my clockwork orange story. Night. 354 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,279 Good keep that one. I can't remember if you're the one who thought 355 00:24:23,279 --> 00:24:29,920 it was a porno or not. That's me. Well, I mean I've 356 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,680 been playing Thirsty Suitors. Okay, thank you ja parts if it do feel 357 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:38,319 like an adult film Thirsty Suitters. I check this out during Summer game Fest 358 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,720 and it is finally now out. It is very akin to a Southeast Asian 359 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,599 perspective of Scott Pilgrim adjacent story where you were going back to your hometown, 360 00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:53,480 you gotta take care of some family jazz, and while you're in your hometown 361 00:24:53,519 --> 00:25:00,240 you encounter all of your exes and it is just as awkward as you would 362 00:25:00,279 --> 00:25:04,160 expect it to be, except they gamify in countering your ex'es. One of 363 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,119 the mechanics in this it isn't like a primary major mechanic in the game, 364 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,759 but there is skateboarding in it, and it feels okay enough, it feels 365 00:25:12,799 --> 00:25:17,799 Tony Hawk adjacent enough. But the neat thing that they've added to this that 366 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,440 is not critical to any of The major major stuff that you do in this 367 00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:27,759 game is like up grinding or grinding a rail above you, and I am 368 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,960 all for that. I think skateboard games should do that, whether it's Tony 369 00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:37,480 Hawk pulling out a fun little hook from his pocket or just doing like holding 370 00:25:37,519 --> 00:25:40,519 it above them and just like holding on to that for dear life as you're 371 00:25:40,519 --> 00:25:45,160 going by. Because I am all for up grinding. That's the new official 372 00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:48,400 name. The X game's council has has told me, I'm I'm clear to 373 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:59,000 announce that today an talk to Bob Chad Muska, Yeah White even Yeah, 374 00:25:59,039 --> 00:26:03,000 yeah, yeah, Kelly Slater. Oh it's alsothing signed by Kelly Slater. 375 00:26:03,079 --> 00:26:06,119 I was at a Ron John gift shop and I thought about his his his 376 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:11,000 weird GameCube PlayStation two game, Travis Pastrana. I know he doesn't really grind 377 00:26:11,079 --> 00:26:14,960 on rails, but he allowed that. The first game I thought of when 378 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,559 you said this was Assassin's Creed Revelations because they were running out of ideas. 379 00:26:18,599 --> 00:26:22,000 So the whole thing there was the hook blade. There's like that be where 380 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,920 he's like that guy's explaining it to it is like it's got two parts, 381 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,759 the hook in the blade. They photoshop that that Nick cage like, oh 382 00:26:29,839 --> 00:26:33,880 yeah, face on it, but it's a very grab go ahead. I 383 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,200 was just gonna say, I didn't this game has grinding. I didn't realize 384 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,119 that that's what kind of game it is. Well, you know, you 385 00:26:41,319 --> 00:26:45,759 encounter your axes, so there may be some grinding going. Okay, oh 386 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:51,839 this game skateboarding mechanic is not like a big thing. It's just one of 387 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,920 these small, like little things they've added to it. Your encounters with your 388 00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:00,839 exes turn into like turn based RPG combat where it is it's not just like 389 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,880 attacking and defending casting a spell. The story and your encounter is being told 390 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,799 throughout it. So occasionally when you get to the second phase of this boss 391 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:15,279 battle with your ex it's really just you kind of uncovering some trauma that had 392 00:27:15,279 --> 00:27:18,559 happened between you guys, where it's like, hey, so did you did 393 00:27:18,599 --> 00:27:22,359 you cheat on me and you didn't tell me about it? Is that what 394 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:27,119 happened here? Or why did you leave me? Type of thing type of 395 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:33,519 stuff going on, And it's an entertaining way to talk to and encounter previous 396 00:27:34,079 --> 00:27:37,759 lovers in your life. I wish that no one has to ever do it. 397 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,759 Because that in the game, it's fun real life incredibly awkward, but 398 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,319 it's doing a lot of neat stuff. And I forget the main character's name, 399 00:27:47,279 --> 00:27:53,440 but yes, Thirsty has the whole slew of differing styles and types of 400 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,720 exes. So you know, folks that are are males, females, male 401 00:27:57,759 --> 00:28:04,319 presenting, female present and it's neat because you're you're all just trying to solve 402 00:28:04,839 --> 00:28:10,799 your personal issues at the end. And I feel like it handles closing the 403 00:28:10,839 --> 00:28:18,039 book on previous relationships in a positive way versus making everyone completely like evil enemies 404 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,720 antagonists versus like, Okay, we can actually grow past this, but I 405 00:28:22,759 --> 00:28:26,240 will beat the shit out of you first. Yeah. Is the strength of 406 00:28:26,279 --> 00:28:30,319 this game, the characters, the story, the and when you say the 407 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:36,519 combat is like or the combat like encountering your excess, it creates a turn 408 00:28:36,599 --> 00:28:41,119 based combat sort of scenario. Is that like Undertail? I've never played Undertail. 409 00:28:41,359 --> 00:28:45,640 I think I locked myself into having to play it for Extra Life one 410 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:52,160 year and I have yet to return or deliver on that. No gender Tail, 411 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,400 it's right there. Yeah, that's it. But Thirsty suitors, Yeah, 412 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,960 when once you encounter them, it turns into a turn based combat game 413 00:29:00,119 --> 00:29:03,000 where it does, it can start to feel a little bit repetitive as you 414 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,359 go through the encounter because you're just trying to wheel down a lifebar or charge 415 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:12,640 up a specific power. But as you go through the boss battle style encounter, 416 00:29:15,759 --> 00:29:18,480 some different mechanics pop up, where like a turn based type of thing 417 00:29:18,519 --> 00:29:23,000 where you have to hit paper Mario style hit a certain command to be more 418 00:29:23,039 --> 00:29:30,960 effective, or have someone slip on like wet ground or whatever. But yeah, 419 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,039 it's mostly the story and the characterization that is pulling me through the game 420 00:29:34,119 --> 00:29:38,200 so far. The mechanics stuff, it's there, it's neat. I feel 421 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:44,119 like it's mostly there just to diversify combat. I'm not super deep in about 422 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,720 like two hours in, but I'm all about up grinding. Yeah, of 423 00:29:48,799 --> 00:29:51,960 course, this is what we've always known about you, jan Is, You're 424 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,400 the upgrinder. Yeah, we grind up and we punched down exactly. That's 425 00:29:56,519 --> 00:29:59,519 what we do here a giant bomb, jan If. I have a list 426 00:29:59,559 --> 00:30:03,000 of Get the Game Awards stuff got announced and there was a bunch of indie 427 00:30:03,039 --> 00:30:04,279 games that got nominated, and I'm like, oh, I don't actually think 428 00:30:04,279 --> 00:30:07,359 I played India these because I haven't really played David Diver. I played a 429 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,799 little bit of it. I haven't played Dredge, I haven't played Venba. 430 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,319 There's like a whole list of Indiana, the Little Sea of Stars, right 431 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,599 I played a Little Sea of Stars and I kind of want to play more 432 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,799 of it. But it's like, that's my point here is if I have 433 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,319 this list of games that I'm trying to catch up on this year, do 434 00:30:22,359 --> 00:30:26,559 you think this ranks high on that list of I should try this now or 435 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,359 is this kind of thing like when I have time maybe later. I'd hate 436 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:34,720 for this to get lost amongst like the storm of everything, especially with bigger, 437 00:30:34,839 --> 00:30:38,319 high profile indie titles. And we don't have to get into it right 438 00:30:38,359 --> 00:30:42,039 now about what qualifies and what doesn't qualify as an indie game, because that's 439 00:30:42,079 --> 00:30:48,200 the hot topic right now. But you know, I will say that I 440 00:30:48,279 --> 00:30:56,680 think the story and the characterization of everyone in Thirsty Suitors is substantial enough to 441 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,480 check it out before Game of the Year season ends. Okay, But that 442 00:31:00,599 --> 00:31:06,319 being said, I do think it could occupy occupy a good spot in that 443 00:31:06,559 --> 00:31:10,079 like holiday period of like post Game of the Year, post New Year or 444 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:15,319 pre New Year's where like we have like a stretch of time to really sink 445 00:31:15,359 --> 00:31:18,519 your teeth into a game, you know, like I feel like Ven but 446 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,799 is going to wind up in that spot for me where I don't have the 447 00:31:21,839 --> 00:31:26,519 time right now to just fully dive all the way deep into it. Because 448 00:31:26,519 --> 00:31:29,680 there's an obscene amount of indie games that came out, y'all, Like we 449 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,000 talk about all the triple A, double A B game style stuff. This 450 00:31:33,039 --> 00:31:36,880 has been another great year for indies, and I think, unfortunately, because 451 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,720 of the high volume of all the bigger stuff, it's getting forgotten about. 452 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,480 Yeah, Port Cocoon, that's a that's a real good game, right, 453 00:31:45,559 --> 00:31:48,039 like that could have been nominated for Game of the Year last year. That's 454 00:31:48,079 --> 00:31:51,200 the one where I'm like, I actually might prioritize that. For one, 455 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,720 I know it's relatively three hours exactly, it's shorter, and people say it's 456 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,799 a grubby game. It's a grubby game, yes, because yeah, thank 457 00:31:59,839 --> 00:32:01,559 you, Yes, that's that. Those are my people, So yeah, 458 00:32:01,559 --> 00:32:06,240 I'll be I think that's the one I'm prioritizing. I did Humanity last week, 459 00:32:06,559 --> 00:32:09,319 really really liked Humanity. So I'm gonna try to keep some of these 460 00:32:09,359 --> 00:32:13,839 games in my rotation when I'm also catching up on like Boulder Skate and stuff. 461 00:32:14,279 --> 00:32:16,920 Yeah, if anyone has like smaller titles that they want to like recommend 462 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:21,960 to the crew to check out before we get to Game of the Year, 463 00:32:22,079 --> 00:32:24,000 I'd be more than happy to check some of that out, maybe like in 464 00:32:24,039 --> 00:32:28,799 a grab bag style thing. Like one of the titles I think, like, 465 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,680 he's not gonna get any love except for from me is Fuga two, 466 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,160 you know, just loading those furry children into the soul cannon and everything. 467 00:32:39,039 --> 00:32:44,359 God, and that's not even an indie game. That's like a fun JRPG 468 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:50,680 with cats. Hey, fire Alum Engage came out this year. Sure dead 469 00:32:50,839 --> 00:32:55,039 yeah dad, yeah, uh grub January. I'm gonna ask you is that 470 00:32:55,160 --> 00:33:01,400 worth circling back to listen? I like it a lot it Did you finish 471 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:07,559 three houses? Finished it like three times? Okay? When it comes to 472 00:33:07,599 --> 00:33:10,079 three houses for you, what was it like? Oh man, I just 473 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:14,880 love spending time with these characters. That was that was a big motivating factor. 474 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,599 Yeah, don't go back to this one. Yeah. The characters sucking 475 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:21,640 this one. The combat is better, Like the combat is the best the 476 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,000 fire Fireman has ever been. It is, right, so good characters. 477 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,400 Yeah, it's and and it's they suck so much that it makes it easy 478 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:36,319 to lose momentum with some of the best turn based tactical gameplay you've ever experienced, 479 00:33:36,359 --> 00:33:39,839 which is really frustrating because I really liked that game. Yeah, when 480 00:33:39,839 --> 00:33:45,000 they announced Engage, I was really hyped about it because I think three Houses 481 00:33:45,079 --> 00:33:49,480 ranked I think it's one of my favorite games that release in the past decade. 482 00:33:50,759 --> 00:33:54,400 But a lot of that is tied to the Superior House, the Deer, 483 00:33:55,039 --> 00:34:00,440 the Yellow House, de Baby. All right, well, you know, 484 00:34:00,519 --> 00:34:05,200 speaking about up grinding, you upgrind by holding your skateboard with your hands, 485 00:34:05,599 --> 00:34:08,360 and Jeff Grubb, you've been playing a game called Hans. Yes, 486 00:34:09,519 --> 00:34:15,480 so I opened up. That's a hell of a transition I've been. I 487 00:34:15,599 --> 00:34:17,880 opened up my extra life stream with this game Hans, which is the other 488 00:34:19,039 --> 00:34:22,960 watermelon game that's out right now. Oh yes, this is a only up 489 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,559 like where you play as a watermelon. So it's oblong. I talked about 490 00:34:27,599 --> 00:34:29,760 this a little bit somewhere, but either way, I played some more of 491 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,719 it, and I like these games. I like the idea of just a 492 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:37,480 bunch of assets from a store thrown into a game to make an obstacle course, 493 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:43,159 and the sort of spin on that here is because you are playing as 494 00:34:43,159 --> 00:34:46,440 a watermelon, it is oblong and it is misshapen, so some of the 495 00:34:46,559 --> 00:34:50,000 roles you do will kind of throw you off the path a little bit. 496 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,960 I had played a little bit of this before during the stream, I played 497 00:34:53,079 --> 00:34:55,960 enough to like starting to get the flow of things, and it's they don't 498 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,880 they don't even really have controller support, so I was playing mouse and keyboard. 499 00:35:00,519 --> 00:35:04,119 But after like you know, thirty minutes playing it, I was really 500 00:35:04,199 --> 00:35:06,960 getting the hang up of the feel of like how this watermelon is going to 501 00:35:07,039 --> 00:35:09,480 behave And then there's something about like okay, I yeah, I fell down, 502 00:35:09,519 --> 00:35:13,079 but now I could do all these obstacles that were a challenge for me 503 00:35:13,159 --> 00:35:17,960 before relatively quickly, and having that difficulty curve get conquered so quickly and feeling 504 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,039 like you're making progress is really nice. The problem is that, and this 505 00:35:22,119 --> 00:35:24,360 is the problem with these games in general, you look up and you see 506 00:35:24,559 --> 00:35:29,320 just how much further you have to go, and it's so intimidating that when 507 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,159 you do fall after like ten minutes and you're like, well that's ten minutes, 508 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:35,400 and I know, like, realistically, i'ma have to climb for at 509 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,159 least an hour and a half probably longer to actually get to the top of 510 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,639 this, and boy, when I fall from that, that's going to be 511 00:35:40,639 --> 00:35:43,719 even more frustrating. Now, I think that's what makes it a good game 512 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,840 for streaming, And you know, it's got some fun elements of you can 513 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:52,440 get costumes for your watermelon and your costume and the costumes are always just like 514 00:35:52,639 --> 00:35:53,880 just off the path, so it's like, oh, I could take a 515 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,559 risk of goe to go get this costume, but that's going to increase my 516 00:35:57,639 --> 00:36:00,079 chances of falling and then my watermelons and be dressed up like you know, 517 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,559 grout show Marx is that his name, the guy with the bushy and they 518 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:09,480 in the nose? Yeah, seventy sam h And that's that's fun. But 519 00:36:09,679 --> 00:36:14,800 in general, I just like that it's it's a pretty competent one of these. 520 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,880 It's not falling apart at the seams like some of the ones have been. 521 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,920 And when you fall from a great height and the watermelon hits the ground, 522 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:28,599 the game yells Hans, does it smash? Though? No? What 523 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:34,000 are we? What are we doing? I'm gonna I've been falling from like 524 00:36:34,159 --> 00:36:37,119 you know, five six seven stories. Maybe it does if you get high 525 00:36:37,199 --> 00:36:42,519 enough, but from where I was on four feet, it's it would it 526 00:36:42,559 --> 00:36:46,679 would explode. Rolling off video, I will, I will crush a watermelon 527 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,920 with these god dang thighs right here. Oh, actually that's I feel like 528 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,159 that's very hard, but I'd love to see you attempt it. Nevertheless, 529 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,800 I'm going to be doing until Game of the Year. Then, yeah, 530 00:36:59,159 --> 00:37:05,360 we know we're doing during intermission? Is is is the watermelon name? Hans? 531 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,920 Is that? Oh? This is an excellent question. I don't know. 532 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,199 I didn't know that. When I fall from a great height, the 533 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:20,840 game just goes in like a voice with gravitas and says, Hans, I 534 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,119 guess it. Wait, I guess Hans is an immortal being, birth from 535 00:37:24,199 --> 00:37:29,360 a bizarre twist of science and left behind when humanity embarked for the stars. 536 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,039 Well there you go. So of course it doesn't smash. It's immortal. 537 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:36,840 Hans isn't just a refreshing summer snack. He's a melon with dreams, ambitions, 538 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:42,159 and a bounce that defies his juicy constitution. Okay, Backlar is also 539 00:37:42,199 --> 00:37:45,480 reading my bio. It turns out, yeah, oh wait, this is 540 00:37:45,639 --> 00:37:51,480 John's not Hans Jan Sorry, sorry, I can't stop thinking about Frozen because 541 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,480 there were so many Frozen things that I did on the Disney trip, and 542 00:37:53,559 --> 00:37:59,159 Hans is the name of of Anna's boyfriend. Yeah, like I did. 543 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,039 I did a froz and dinner on the boat, and then there was a 544 00:38:02,119 --> 00:38:07,199 Frozen fireworks show before Christmas, and there was a Frozen sing along that was 545 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,360 like way better than had any right to be. So I kind of got 546 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,519 I kind of got Refrozen coded. It's all I can think about. I've 547 00:38:13,519 --> 00:38:15,840 been listening to a Frozen two soundtrack. It's a problem. I feel like, 548 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:20,679 not everything that pops up in your head, like about Disney needs to 549 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:27,840 likes f after mouth. You know, maybe that was a good I contributed. 550 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:35,119 Maybe well, I'm all for this saga of Mike getting back into Frozen 551 00:38:35,199 --> 00:38:37,920 because hey, turns out Frozen, yes did pretty good music. Uh speak 552 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:43,320 about saga, Mike Manati Alan wake too. You have finally gotten the chance 553 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,639 to dip into it. Yeah, I like, I didn't want to start 554 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:50,360 it before that was on the trip because I knew I was gonna be yeah 555 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,800 it was, it'd be weird, right, But last night I did finally 556 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,679 get to start it, and there's a downside to that because it is a 557 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,480 little weird, Like it's already one Game of the Year award, so many 558 00:39:00,559 --> 00:39:02,840 people are like, it did, yes, this game of the Year. 559 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:07,440 Yeah, the Golden Joysticks. Oh I thought Boulderskate won that. Am I 560 00:39:07,599 --> 00:39:10,760 just making ship up? Now? Ship some awards? I'm sure at that. 561 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,519 But yeah, okay, I think you're right. Actually, maybe I'm 562 00:39:14,559 --> 00:39:15,760 making shit up. Okay, but yeah, you know, everyone's going on 563 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:21,400 about how amazing the game is, so it's like a little awkward. One 564 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,679 critics choice, so choice, thank you, Okay, that's that was my 565 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:30,840 thing. Cool, but so like you do immediately kind of get it a 566 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,239 bit. There's a lot interesting going on. I only got to play for 567 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:37,960 a few hours. I just got past the Night Night Show thing with Alan 568 00:39:37,039 --> 00:39:40,440 Wake, so I barely just started playing as him. There's like this, 569 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:45,039 I have this fear immediately that like, oh no, I'm gonna be the 570 00:39:45,119 --> 00:39:52,599 asshole who likes one more because uh because like everybody, like everybody drags on 571 00:39:52,039 --> 00:39:55,679 like one for like the fighting gets repetitive. You just keep shooting things with 572 00:39:55,760 --> 00:40:00,800 your flashlight and at least as far and I'm like I had some more things 573 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:05,239 to shoot with my flash, so that could change pretty quickly. I don't 574 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,599 know. And Jeff said this before, and I'm a little bit at that 575 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,559 point too, where I am kind of waiting for the amazing things to happen. 576 00:40:10,639 --> 00:40:15,119 So far, everything has been done really well, very competently, with 577 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:19,920 a lot of like flare just like a lot of good presentation. But it 578 00:40:20,039 --> 00:40:22,320 has been a lot of walking and talking and even the Mind Palace, which 579 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:28,480 is a really gussied up version of just kind of a walk and talk or 580 00:40:28,519 --> 00:40:30,440 just kind of relaying information. That is what it is. It's not that 581 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:37,360 much of a game that you're doing in there necessarily, So I definitely am 582 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,480 into it and I want to play more. I'm not like, I'm not 583 00:40:40,639 --> 00:40:43,519 trying to be like, oh, I'm not feeling it. I'm feeling it. 584 00:40:43,679 --> 00:40:46,280 I'm excited there to play more. Mike, Uh, do me a 585 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:52,400 flavor and at least get to chapter four of Alan Wakes's campaign. Yeah. 586 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,239 Really, so I'm at the same point, Mike, And we'll be playing 587 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:59,920 on the website tomorrow when you get a chance to choose between playing Saga's Alan 588 00:41:00,039 --> 00:41:04,599 and everyone's saying at least play Allen until you get to the part and you'll 589 00:41:04,639 --> 00:41:07,840 know it when you get there. That's what I like. I like I 590 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:13,079 see another dick, Hey, how many will you see? We can only 591 00:41:13,119 --> 00:41:17,360 consider ourselves so blessed if we do mm hmm. Yeah. The problem, 592 00:41:17,679 --> 00:41:21,679 not the problem with Allan Wake two is that, like, I don't want 593 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,239 to overseell it for some folks, and like I know some of the language 594 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:29,639 around it, folks saying it's a turnout of turn five out of five here 595 00:41:29,679 --> 00:41:31,679 saying it was their new favorite game, ever after they already said that about 596 00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:39,360 Tears of the Kingdom early. Yeah, I feel like I definitely said that 597 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:44,159 too, so i'll, you know, tackle that grenade there. Yeah, 598 00:41:44,199 --> 00:41:46,079 that's right, win ship. I did say it was the Jesus of video 599 00:41:46,199 --> 00:41:52,400 games. I'm right where Mike's at with with the Ellen Wait two. Still, 600 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,880 by the way, I like, I'm glad that I'm playing with you 601 00:41:54,960 --> 00:42:00,679 guys, because your guys is all at like seeing things from the from parts 602 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:05,280 before that you've already played and going, oh, it's making me think like, 603 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,599 Okay, I'm glad I'm paying attention. I'm glad I'm doing I'm glad 604 00:42:07,639 --> 00:42:10,480 I'm spending time with this because I bet a lot of these things are going 605 00:42:10,559 --> 00:42:15,000 to pay off. They just haven't yet for me. Now again, I'm 606 00:42:15,039 --> 00:42:16,559 into it. I think I'm just in the building up. I'm like putting 607 00:42:16,679 --> 00:42:20,039 money in the bank, and at a certain point this game is going to 608 00:42:20,119 --> 00:42:22,159 cash it all out, I think, and I'm excited for it. I 609 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,039 can't wait to see what that looks like. Yeah, so I am right 610 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:30,599 on the precipice of completing this game. I know for a fact that I'm 611 00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:35,199 like one, maybe one and a half chapters away from completing it. But 612 00:42:35,519 --> 00:42:39,559 I have this weird paralysis that I used to have with games a long long 613 00:42:39,639 --> 00:42:44,920 time ago, where I just don't want it to end yet. And I 614 00:42:45,039 --> 00:42:49,079 know that hey, a a type of new game plus is coming out in 615 00:42:49,159 --> 00:42:53,920 the future. But I need to finish this game if I'm gonna should say 616 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,440 that this is my favorite game of the year. Yes, yes, we 617 00:42:57,519 --> 00:43:00,280 are going to require that of you, I think. Yes. I also 618 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:05,800 don't want any grief from any special guests about me not completing games going to 619 00:43:06,039 --> 00:43:09,000 destroy you. I changed my bod. I want you to say that your 620 00:43:09,039 --> 00:43:12,360 favorite game of the year is that gave you didn't beat, because I want 621 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:17,519 to see what gona throw a chair at my head, I'd allow it, 622 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,960 but yeah, because of your gusto, Mic, I've decided I'm gonna go 623 00:43:24,039 --> 00:43:30,760 check out Resident Evil for Remake Game of the Year nominee Resident Evil for Remakengratulations, 624 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,639 Mike, congratulations. Everybody was told me it wasn't gonna happen. I 625 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:37,000 believe that, which made that victory victory, Like I made the fucking game 626 00:43:37,119 --> 00:43:45,800 victory on the cruise. It's right, it's happening. Count looks like they 627 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:52,119 do. Huh, looks like they uh yeah, Reside and I don't want 628 00:43:52,159 --> 00:43:55,880 to Like that's the other thing I'm trying not to just compare only two to 629 00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:00,079 like the Resident Evil games, like recently because I also play resideval to remake 630 00:44:00,119 --> 00:44:06,960 for the first time last month and also very good. But yeah, well 631 00:44:07,079 --> 00:44:08,679 honestly, even playing on the Way Too is incredible how much you could see 632 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:14,239 it taking from those games remakes, and like, of course, definitely do 633 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,840 that. Yep, that's a great idea. Like the weapons selection thing is 634 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,079 straight out of there, and I'm like, yeah, that's what it should 635 00:44:20,119 --> 00:44:22,360 be. That's right. Uh. Speaking about Residue, Belo a remake grub. 636 00:44:22,639 --> 00:44:25,840 You just threw this onto the dock. Now, yeah, I guess 637 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:30,360 I decided I want to talk about it. I got back into it. 638 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,480 I've mostly been playing on the Steam deck. Oh, led it is very 639 00:44:32,599 --> 00:44:37,840 good on there. It looks really nice. The the HDR really does pop 640 00:44:37,079 --> 00:44:42,760 and boy it it just looks nice. But yeah, it turns out that 641 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,920 game is one of the best games of the year. It is very good. 642 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:49,000 The shooting is just very fun. Uh, it goes. It has 643 00:44:49,039 --> 00:44:52,199 such a good pace to it, like you're, yeah, you're doing You're 644 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,599 doing like stuff that might be stressful for because it's like so intense, but 645 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,679 you know, the game is going to probably change up and probably change up 646 00:44:58,679 --> 00:45:02,199 pretty dramatically here in the next fifteen to thirty minutes. It's always going to 647 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:06,760 be introducing something new, and sometimes it's it's going to be very very different. 648 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,000 Like I did get to the minecart scene last night. Yeah, and 649 00:45:08,079 --> 00:45:12,639 it's like, oh, this is it's so silly and fun and what it's 650 00:45:12,679 --> 00:45:16,039 like this little delight in the middle of this game that is so different from 651 00:45:16,039 --> 00:45:19,840 everything else, and yet it leans into what the game is best at, 652 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,920 the shooting and the interactions with the enemy characters, and like, you know, 653 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:29,000 sometimes they they're holding the little sticks of dynamite and you shoot them make 654 00:45:29,079 --> 00:45:32,079 them explode. But just like popping off headshots, bang bang bang on these 655 00:45:32,119 --> 00:45:37,239 moving carts is so satisfying. I don't know. I got to the part 656 00:45:37,599 --> 00:45:40,559 where I really dealt with Ramon Salazar, and I remember people saying how they 657 00:45:40,639 --> 00:45:45,360 thought this game removes some of the fun of the original game, because the 658 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:50,440 original Maroon is more like, he's more like silly and I'm more of a 659 00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,440 goober and he is, and I miss his tricorn hat or whatever it is. 660 00:45:54,159 --> 00:45:59,039 But it's fine, it's fine, it's complete, it's fine. There 661 00:45:59,039 --> 00:46:01,440 are so many other character who are you get a big glow up in this 662 00:46:01,639 --> 00:46:07,679 game because of that, like like Ashley and other people. So you know, 663 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,360 well, that's the great thing about these remakes again, and you know 664 00:46:09,559 --> 00:46:14,679 they are different games than the originals, and those originals are still there, 665 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,960 but yeah, in this version you have these differences and sometimes maybe you're not 666 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,840 going to like the differences. That's what's great about them is that you do 667 00:46:21,039 --> 00:46:24,239 have these two bespoke experiences now. But yeah, that was what I think. 668 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,880 That is like the number one thing I could say about the game. 669 00:46:28,119 --> 00:46:30,599 Whyl it's so much. I don't know if I ever played a better paced 670 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:34,480 video game. Ye. That pacing is just incredible. I think I remember 671 00:46:34,559 --> 00:46:37,679 thinking about that about the original Residual for and I think it's better here. 672 00:46:37,559 --> 00:46:43,760 It is just really will I mean, I can't put it down at night. 673 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:45,360 That's the big thing for me, that that it's almost always a sign 674 00:46:45,599 --> 00:46:49,719 of really good pacing, because I, you know, I do need something 675 00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,960 different about every twelve to thirty minutes. It's like in that range, I 676 00:46:52,159 --> 00:46:55,760 can feel myself getting a little bit nancy, and you know it's not just 677 00:46:55,840 --> 00:47:00,360 oh, it's going to be different. The the individual levels themselves have a 678 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,559 good bill to them. You're moving, you're working towards something. You Usually 679 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,239 they put you in a space where you see the thing that you're going to 680 00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,079 be interacting with, and now it's like, okay, now let's set up, 681 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:12,480 give you a bunch of things to interact with that, and we're gonna 682 00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,599 put some challenges in your way, you know, along that path. But 683 00:47:15,679 --> 00:47:17,760 overall it's about dealing with this big problem. And I really like that. 684 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:22,559 It's just a really confidently made and well directed video game. I think that's 685 00:47:22,559 --> 00:47:24,559 why I like Allen Wig two so much because it does remind me so much 686 00:47:24,599 --> 00:47:30,320 of like evolving off the back of Ari four. I think, I really 687 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:35,039 think that you highlighted that I don't really talk about with Ari four is like 688 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:43,920 there's something so satisfying about the sort of like controlled maze of every level where 689 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:50,159 you kind of like it's just this amazing kind of like oh and you're back 690 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:53,199 here, and we just stick the landing of like your path and it design 691 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:57,679 it's just incredible. Yeah, and it's just really lost. You can go 692 00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,800 on tangents, but you're always it's the game always takes you back to either 693 00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:05,559 where you need to be or somewhere interesting. Yeah. The real estate like 694 00:48:06,039 --> 00:48:09,880 management of all that is like so smart and really fun, and I think 695 00:48:10,159 --> 00:48:15,440 it's even and it is able to like convey a bit of its own sort 696 00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:19,480 of like storytelling just through that right where you're like the place you thought you 697 00:48:19,559 --> 00:48:22,679 couldn't even like touch, you graze upon, and then you're just like back 698 00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,239 and that that stuff's really really awesome to see when it when it lands, 699 00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:30,599 you know, yes, definitely, and I do. I playing these games 700 00:48:30,639 --> 00:48:35,440 side by side Resnuele four and Alan Wait two again see the parallels, they're 701 00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,159 going for slightly different things. Obviously Resilble four is more much more actiony, 702 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:44,000 but but yeah, overall you can you can debitaly see the threads, and 703 00:48:45,519 --> 00:48:49,320 it is interesting that another studios are kind of getting on that tip of like, 704 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,519 hey, these are some of the most beloved games. We can kind 705 00:48:52,559 --> 00:48:54,360 of just take what we want to do do it in that style and it's 706 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:58,360 a pretty good template and can be applied to something like Alan Wake and they're 707 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,320 one hundred percent correct about that. Yeah, I think, like you said, 708 00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:05,519 our Force is like this action game right, like it just straight up 709 00:49:05,639 --> 00:49:10,480 is uh. I think I think allen Wick is like surprisingly competent when it 710 00:49:10,559 --> 00:49:15,599 comes to the action stuff where you sort of don't always expect it. And 711 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:19,360 uh, yeah, I do think they are much more like than they are. 712 00:49:19,639 --> 00:49:25,280 Not definitely. I've been playing trying to throw some time into a game 713 00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:30,599 that is radically different than anything we've discussed so far. I've been playing Slay 714 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:35,480 the Princess. Yeah, I've been curious about this one. What got you 715 00:49:35,559 --> 00:49:39,239 just started up? Jan I saw some positive buzz circulating around Slay the Princess. 716 00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:44,960 This is definitely not my style of game, and I say that, 717 00:49:45,119 --> 00:49:49,320 but I did play something like Dopey Doky Lurture Club a couple of years ago. 718 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,880 This is what genre is. This is a story game, like a 719 00:49:53,159 --> 00:49:57,639 narrative style of game, a novel. Yes, yes, yes, it's 720 00:49:57,679 --> 00:50:04,440 a visual novel style game where you wound up Groundhog daying yourself in a quest 721 00:50:04,639 --> 00:50:10,119 to slay the princess, perhaps maybe not slay the princess, perhaps befriending the 722 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:15,079 princess. I'm not personally the biggest fan of the art style. It's all 723 00:50:15,119 --> 00:50:20,719 hand drawn. The characters look a little funky for my taste. But the 724 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,400 whole thing is voice acted, which is nice. So you can just set 725 00:50:23,519 --> 00:50:29,360 the text advance to auto, just listen along as you're playing through. And 726 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:34,719 I say groundhog Dang because it is a loop after a while, once you 727 00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:39,599 get through the initial opening sequence, and then you have to take into account 728 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:45,320 the different choices being made and the different variations as you go through. They 729 00:50:45,599 --> 00:50:50,119 are framing this as like a horror visual novel, and I wouldn't say that 730 00:50:50,159 --> 00:50:55,519 I've been scared at certain parts, maybe more so like unnerved. Be warned. 731 00:50:57,119 --> 00:51:00,519 The game can get a little graphic at time, and not like graphic 732 00:51:00,639 --> 00:51:06,159 and like a hello princess graphic and I like, oh, stop, princess, 733 00:51:06,199 --> 00:51:07,960 stop, don't do that. Do you see en trails? Do you 734 00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:16,320 see anybody's entrails? We see several trails. Oh Jesus, and that can 735 00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:21,639 get unpleasant. I can tell that I like the game though, despite not 736 00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:24,519 being a fan of the art style, because I'm sitting there at my computer 737 00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:29,400 occasionally hitting F twelve because that's like, oh that was a good line. 738 00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:34,039 Wow, that was a great line screenshot. Oh cool. I'm gonna remember 739 00:51:34,079 --> 00:51:37,800 this forever. I'm going to pass this quote to someone not related to games 740 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:43,480 and they'll think I'm hella smart. Is the thing here, like you said 741 00:51:43,559 --> 00:51:46,679 Groundhog's dating, It is the thing like, Oh, you play through it 742 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:50,000 and then you're like, well now I want to see it again in a 743 00:51:50,039 --> 00:51:54,159 different way. Or is it a continuous play through and one play through has 744 00:51:54,159 --> 00:51:58,159 an effect on the next. It is a continuous play through where you are 745 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:04,639 building upon the information that you were learning each time. There's a narrator, 746 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,960 the Princess character, but then there are also different several voices going on within 747 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:13,679 your head that kind of split off into to the different aspects of you as 748 00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:19,440 a character. I don't want to spoil too much. It does seem like 749 00:52:19,559 --> 00:52:22,840 it is a lengthier game than what most visual novels would be because there are 750 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:28,000 so many choices in different outcomes. I thought I was making good progress and 751 00:52:28,159 --> 00:52:30,679 like the three to four hours I was in, but it turns out I 752 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:36,760 may be nowhere near the end of the game. It's if you're looking for 753 00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:40,800 a palette cleanser, a spooky pallette cleanser amongst all the action games popping off 754 00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:45,360 this year, I think I can rightfully recommend Slay the Princess. It may 755 00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,599 not be for everyone, though, because the style of visual novel game it 756 00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:52,800 is is very dark in the subject matter, and like I mentioned, it 757 00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:58,800 does get very graphic where there's multiple times where I had to look away because 758 00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:05,480 I was so squeamish around the blood. We hate it's it's black and white 759 00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:07,840 with the pencil drawing, And I get what you mean about not loving the 760 00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:12,320 art style necessarily. Does it like does the blood like have color? Does 761 00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:15,079 it like have like pops of color anywhere? Is it all just like the 762 00:53:15,119 --> 00:53:19,000 pencil black and white kind of gray scale stuff. The game is primarily black 763 00:53:19,039 --> 00:53:23,159 and white pencil style. However, the blood is like a vibrant pop of 764 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:28,360 red. Oh wow, okay, yeah, every everything you know. The 765 00:53:28,639 --> 00:53:31,000 subject matter of the game, like the storytelling, I think is done really 766 00:53:31,079 --> 00:53:37,199 well and it handles a lot of, you know, existential crises of what 767 00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,880 is worth it and being okay with your place in life, yet continuing to 768 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:45,239 push on and push forward. But I don't need to question my place in 769 00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:49,400 the universe too many times this year. I'm ready doing that with several games 770 00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:53,760 already. Sure, yes, do you think I would like it? Here's 771 00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:58,719 the thing. I have a hard time recommending it because it is a lot 772 00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,320 of reading, and it is a lot of paying attention to specific story beats, 773 00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:09,239 like I think definitely, Like maybe if we were to stream this from 774 00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:13,599 the beginning right and then we do decisions by committee, that could be fun. 775 00:54:13,679 --> 00:54:15,719 Oh I would have an I'm doing that. Yeah, But there are 776 00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:22,360 aspects it is a lot of like listening or reading, and if that is 777 00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:24,880 not your cup of tea folks at home, then Slay the Princess may not 778 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:29,320 be for you. But if you're looking for another good visual novel style game, 779 00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:35,719 I can recommend Slay the Princess. I guess thirteen Sentinels Ages Rim was 780 00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,800 visual novel adjacent, but there were gameplay elements to that, like the turn 781 00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:44,639 based stuff. But Slay the Princess is purely like, all right, let's 782 00:54:44,679 --> 00:54:50,239 read and let's decide what we're gonna do. Cool. I got it on 783 00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:52,599 Steam. I might. I still might try it, but I doubt. 784 00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:54,239 I doubt it's gonna be my thing, But everyone's talking it up so much. 785 00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,280 I might just check in on it. Yeah, I think you could. 786 00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,360 Honestly, like, once you get into the loop of the loop, 787 00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:07,519 you can just skip to the specific decisions you want to make. And hey, 788 00:55:07,559 --> 00:55:12,800 if you read faster than you can then the game is performing the voiceover, 789 00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,360 then by all means you can skip passed through a lot very quickly. 790 00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:21,400 Okay, there is voiceover though, huh yes, voiceover for virtually everything except 791 00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:25,760 some of the subtexts that is, like hard descriptions or like your own decisions 792 00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:30,760 will not be voiced. But everything else is and it's done really, really 793 00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:37,000 well as well. If this was I don't think this is out on I 794 00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:40,760 don't think Slay the Princess is out on anything else other than Steam. But 795 00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:46,039 I definitely would recommend playing this in a mobile format. Speaking about mobile formats 796 00:55:46,119 --> 00:55:49,559 Mike Minatti, this isn't the game of the week, but this might be 797 00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:52,840 peripheral of the week. Well, maybe I did get a PlayStation portal. 798 00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,719 I don't have a whole time to say about it, because I you know, 799 00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:59,840 I had just got back from my trips. I haven't really been able 800 00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:04,960 to put this thing through its paces yet, but I have some first impressions. 801 00:56:05,199 --> 00:56:07,519 I want, you know, I know it looks goofy, right, 802 00:56:07,599 --> 00:56:10,119 Oh, it certainly, do ye think. I think it's really comfortable. 803 00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:15,559 It looks comfortable. Yeah, it feels great, like it feels probably better 804 00:56:15,679 --> 00:56:19,639 to hold than like a steam deck or a rock or maybe honestly even like 805 00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,760 a base switch to me, just having those handles there. I mean, 806 00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:25,639 I like the dual sense a lot, and this is basically just a dual 807 00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:30,079 sense. I think the analog sticks are actually a little bit smaller than a 808 00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:36,920 base dual sense, but still feels pretty good there. I haven't been able 809 00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,719 to try too many games on it. I was messing around with Astro Playroom. 810 00:56:42,079 --> 00:56:45,079 Yeah, it's cool to just see your game on the screen here and 811 00:56:45,199 --> 00:56:49,760 it works. I'm kind of My big hope is that this is gonna help 812 00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:53,199 me finish Ful Fantasy sixteen because I do so much on my gaming in bed 813 00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:58,119 and very little of it in my living room. So hopefully I can take 814 00:56:58,159 --> 00:57:00,079 this thing to bed and do a kind of an hour you that on here, 815 00:57:04,199 --> 00:57:08,320 Princess play that portal. Yeah, see, I'm like a little worried, 816 00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:12,880 like how what's gonna work? Because even my little test with Astro there 817 00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,880 was like artifacting here and there. It's not much and clearly can play it, 818 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:20,280 but I always I always have that issue with streaming, where as soon 819 00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:23,159 as things get slightly unoptimal, I'm like, well, why am I playing 820 00:57:23,199 --> 00:57:27,199 it like this? I should just not play it like this? Why right? 821 00:57:27,639 --> 00:57:31,360 It? Like this thing is so nice looking and expensive looking and hefty. 822 00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:35,079 It is kind of a bummer. That's like, oh this it is 823 00:57:35,199 --> 00:57:37,599 just streaming off my PlayStation, Like I wish there was something in here, 824 00:57:37,639 --> 00:57:43,039 even if they just like put in like I don't know, fifty PlayStation one, 825 00:57:43,239 --> 00:57:46,840 PlayStation two games, something that was just natively on so I knew if 826 00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:51,679 I'm carrying this thing around, I have access to something without connecting to my 827 00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:55,719 PlayStation that would help, or even the cloud streaming stuff like the normal cloud. 828 00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:59,559 Does it feel fragile at all, Mike, like, how does the 829 00:57:59,599 --> 00:58:04,199 build you feel? It feels sturdy? Like again, the thing itself, 830 00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:08,679 I think feels great. The screen even looks nice, right, it's definitely 831 00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:13,440 it is a black ass black mirror, man, Like, that is a 832 00:58:13,519 --> 00:58:17,559 good thing. You guys are all right? Look at that? So yeah, 833 00:58:17,679 --> 00:58:22,880 I so initialpressions are The device itself, I think is pretty nice. 834 00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:28,800 I think it's sturdy. I think it's good build. Not exactly sure how 835 00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:32,159 functional it is or how what's gonna work for my purposes yet I will report 836 00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:37,840 back. How much is this thing? Again? It's two hundred, I 837 00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:42,559 think so, Yes, two hundred dollars, okay if yeah, in my 838 00:58:42,679 --> 00:58:45,480 head I thought it was three hundred. I'm like our character so far this 839 00:58:45,639 --> 00:58:47,760 this is a stupid purtress. But then when I heard two hundred, just 840 00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:52,719 now, yeah, three hundred would have been crazy nuts, it would have 841 00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:57,400 been it would have been like sort of normal for like a consumer electronics come 842 00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:00,159 be like Sony. But I think that they're pretty They're wise enough now at 843 00:59:00,159 --> 00:59:02,519 this point to not go down that route. Two hundred dollars completely a fair 844 00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:08,760 well close to fair for this er. Yes, yes, I could justify 845 00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:12,800 it. Basically people are being chatter like, hey, why doesn't have Bluetooth? 846 00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:15,119 Most consoles don't have Bluetooth. Only the switch has Bluetooth. Really, 847 00:59:15,159 --> 00:59:20,039 I don't think the Xbox doesn't have Bluetooth steam Deck. The Steam steam Deck 848 00:59:20,079 --> 00:59:24,920 does have Bluetooth, and it uses apt X, which is the low latency 849 00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:30,280 Bluetooth for connection here. But yeah, it's just there's too much latency with 850 00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:35,280 most Bluetooth Codex to actually support that. Doesn't it feel like a little feature 851 00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,360 light though, Like I'm thinking about it now, just like why why? 852 00:59:40,239 --> 00:59:44,480 Yeah? I mean, I listen. I think the question is going to 853 00:59:44,519 --> 00:59:47,519 continue to be for this who is this? Four? But the fact the 854 00:59:47,559 --> 00:59:51,760 matter is, I keep saying me. So I'm fine, I got an 855 00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:53,559 answer. I'm good. I'm gonna get it. Uh, it's everyone else's 856 00:59:53,559 --> 00:59:55,719 problem if they need if they don't have a reason to buy it, maybe 857 00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:59,000 it's not problem at all. Just don't buy it, Mike, is there 858 00:59:59,039 --> 01:00:00,719 an SD cart slo at all on it? Like? Can you load up 859 01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:06,000 anything? What would you need that for? I don't know, Like maybe 860 01:00:06,039 --> 01:00:09,159 you're watching the movie. Of course they're like, oh did we put in 861 01:00:09,239 --> 01:00:13,760 the hack port? Well, I means I think that USB port. You're 862 01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:15,559 still gonna be able to get in there, get up in that business. 863 01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:27,360 Yeah, well, must be very disappointed thinking about That's right, he's fucking 864 01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:34,199 it about house. I finally got my hands on the analog pocket. Me 865 01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:37,000 too, Me too, Bud. Let me tell you, does that smell 866 01:00:37,039 --> 01:00:42,320 like a Tony Award or anything like that? Smells like two Tony Awards? 867 01:00:42,599 --> 01:00:47,760 Hello, weird. I don't know what to do with mine. It smells 868 01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:53,079 like it sounds like someone recorded like a song dedicated to Mike Manatti near this. 869 01:00:55,480 --> 01:01:00,079 Sorry, now I get it. Sorry. I bought the analog this 870 01:01:00,199 --> 01:01:02,880 analog pocket off of a friend of the site, Alex Bunyellow. Thanks Alex 871 01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:08,480 Grub. That is a good black mirror effect too. Damn he's out up 872 01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:12,960 for a second. That thing is so good, Grub. I blame you 873 01:01:13,079 --> 01:01:15,960 for me wanting to do this, because in the back of an Uber Brod 874 01:01:16,119 --> 01:01:21,559 just hands me his analog pocket and out of all the games, I'm playing 875 01:01:21,719 --> 01:01:25,159 stunt Man for the Game Boy Advance, it's such a good game actually, 876 01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:30,960 And then like it's all their faults. The screen quality on this is absolutely 877 01:01:31,119 --> 01:01:37,400 astounding. It's literally ten x the Game Boy Advance screen so that they could 878 01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:42,199 just perfectly upscale it ten X. It's great. I got one too. 879 01:01:42,239 --> 01:01:47,000 I got the Orange Limited Edition transmission. Yeah, yeah, this is mine, 880 01:01:47,159 --> 01:01:52,400 not yours. Manani did you did you have you installed all the the 881 01:01:52,559 --> 01:01:54,199 cores the f PGA course? Yeah, I think I did it right, 882 01:01:54,360 --> 01:02:00,239 like Dan hooked it up. Thanks shout out to Dan Reikert. He's on 883 01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:06,440 Twitch. And I feel like, I'm I'm happy with what I have here. 884 01:02:07,119 --> 01:02:09,639 Uh.

I was like, oh wow, 888 01:02:19,599 --> 01:02:21,760 I need one. And it took me like eight months to get it. 889 01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:28,280 And I feel like I understand exactly what's going on here. I just this 890 01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:30,599 is one of the things where I'm like, I'm more happy to have it 891 01:02:30,679 --> 01:02:32,480 and I don't want to be playing it more. I want to be playing 892 01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:36,719 it more. Like what do I do play video games? Play it more? 893 01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:38,760 Is that? Yeah? Probably?

Not a small 916 01:04:27,239 --> 01:04:30,159 feed by any means. Thank you Grub for kicking off the day doing some 917 01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,960 titan Fall two and I was like, oh man, maybe I should just 918 01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:36,920 play titan Fall two the whole time. It's real good. And then I 919 01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:40,880 played. I played six hours of video games and it flew by and it 920 01:04:41,039 --> 01:04:44,199 goes to titan Fall two. How was that last hour? Did that fly 921 01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:48,159 by? No? God, Okay, no, we get it. You 922 01:04:48,239 --> 01:04:51,320 get it.

Also, Special shouts out to John 927 01:05:06,679 --> 01:05:13,719 Luke, Jake Decker, Dave Amadi, tam To more Hussein, and Matthew 928 01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:17,079 Rory for swinging by the SF office. We did Extra Life for a couple 929 01:05:17,199 --> 01:05:27,320 hours altogether physically Rory and Rory and his company donated a whopping thousand dollars to 930 01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:31,440 the cause for the children and everything. And I made the stupid decision, 931 01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:34,400 just like Jeff Grubb did, of like, hey, let's mark a lofty 932 01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:38,880 goal of doing this, and then we'll probably not get to that, and 933 01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:43,920 then someone will immediately get to that, where I made the stupid decision of 934 01:05:44,039 --> 01:05:45,199 like, well, you know, if we get to seven thousand dollars, 935 01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:51,960 I'll go play through The Quiet Man and j Quiet Jan you deserved it. 936 01:05:53,039 --> 01:05:56,119 And I made my bed and then I lied in it, and then I 937 01:05:56,840 --> 01:06:00,239 witnessed the brilliance of the Quiet Man. And let me tell tell you, 938 01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:05,440 I think Alan Wake Too is related to the Quiet Man. Oh yeah, 939 01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:09,280 it's all part of the same universe. I think it's part of the remedy 940 01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:12,400 the universe. I just hate it if you go too long without playing the 941 01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,800 Quiet Man. Yeah, it like just gets antsy. And so we got 942 01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:17,559 to force things to happen against we has to play it. Let me tell 943 01:06:17,599 --> 01:06:23,119 you, I thought I had completed this game already where we could have just 944 01:06:23,239 --> 01:06:27,960 done all of the audio, because I feel like we've seen the original campaign 945 01:06:28,039 --> 01:06:31,199 on the Quiet version, the Quiet version, the version too much on this 946 01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:36,320 website. But it turns out when I think I beat the game, I 947 01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:42,199 may have done it on Brad Shoemaker's account. Oh where save there? Or 948 01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:46,400 maybe Matt Rory's Steam account, because when I got home and I was like, 949 01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:49,000 all right, let's go to my library and download the Quiet Man, 950 01:06:49,599 --> 01:06:54,079 Uh, it was not there. I had to buy it again. Are 951 01:06:54,079 --> 01:06:58,800 there any Quiet Man mods? There shouldn't be? Makes it really loud? 952 01:06:59,199 --> 01:07:04,760 Yeah? I knew that was coming there.

Yeah, okay, good 981 01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:09,199 good. I was worried about that, all right, folks. That does 982 01:09:09,239 --> 01:09:12,680 it for the first segment of the show. A lot of stuff happening, 983 01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:15,399 a lot of games, still a lot of games. I'm still playing like 984 01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:18,039 a bunch of stuff too like, and there's still more games to play. 985 01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:23,920 Still taking RECs, folks. If any indie titles you think may have got 986 01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:28,239 swept underneath the rug during Game of the Year Game Awards season, send them 987 01:09:28,279 --> 01:09:30,239 my way. I want to know. I want to know what else we 988 01:09:30,279 --> 01:09:32,960 should check out, folks. That does it for the first segment. Let's 989 01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:40,680 go take a quick breaking break and we'll be back with the news. The 990 01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:46,199 games keep coming, just like the news keeps coming. Nothing is slowing down. 991 01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:53,079 Ever, We're we're sliding downhill. We hit beat a crouch on a 992 01:09:53,159 --> 01:09:58,600 slope and we're still sliding, Jeff grub news and it don't stop coming. 993 01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:01,800 As I had to say that to finish what you said. Yeah, okay, 994 01:10:02,119 --> 01:10:05,640 so the news it does feel like it's maybe slowing down a little bit, 995 01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:10,760 but there's plenty to talk about. Still popped off like crazy. While 996 01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:15,119 I was on vacation, I noticed exactly so yes that week you were out, 997 01:10:15,239 --> 01:10:18,039 it was non stop, the huge headlines, and does seem like people 998 01:10:18,079 --> 01:10:21,439 are maybe taking a break. I wonder if at a certain point a lot 999 01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:25,520 of these companies might start wrapping things up for the year in terms of big 1000 01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:29,319 announcements. But Nintendo is gonna have one last thing here. In fact, 1001 01:10:29,359 --> 01:10:33,159 they already did this morning. Nintendo Indie World Showcase happened. Not a lot 1002 01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:35,880 to like, you know, not a lot of headline grabbing stuff there. 1003 01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:40,760 No soilk song, No no silk song really is the headline. No silk 1004 01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:43,560 song, A lot of the stuff that you've been waiting for in terms of 1005 01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:45,720 like, oh, indie games is gonna ask no UFO fifty things like that. 1006 01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:50,000 It was a standard Indie World showcase where they gave us updates and showed 1007 01:10:50,039 --> 01:10:55,720 off some new, interesting looking indie games. Shante Risky Revolution and the Outer 1008 01:10:55,840 --> 01:11:01,239 Wilds, which had been previously announced Switched re emerged here Theologist audition Archaeologist, 1009 01:11:01,279 --> 01:11:05,399 the Archaeologist audition, uh, and then trying to see if there's anything else 1010 01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:09,159 that stood out. I wasn't able to watch most of this because we started 1011 01:11:09,199 --> 01:11:12,560 the bomb cast, but when I looked over, I did think core Keeper 1012 01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:17,319 looked pretty cool by Kamara, looked good to the game right that the was 1013 01:11:17,359 --> 01:11:21,920 the star named eos first person storytelling puzzle adventure, had a cool style. 1014 01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:27,319 But yeah, overall, just Nintendo giving an update on its indies, and 1015 01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:30,039 indies do very well on the Switch, so I'm glad it's still popping off. 1016 01:11:30,359 --> 01:11:33,720 The Chante game is neat because this is the one that was supposed to 1017 01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:39,319 be the first sequel to the original Game Boy Color game Chante Advanced, and 1018 01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:42,960 they just couldn't find a publisher for it back then. They announced it early 1019 01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,479 in the year that they are just stilling to finally make that game. And 1020 01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:48,079 that's what this is so really cool to see that backpack here, it looks 1021 01:11:48,119 --> 01:11:55,079 neat. That's like Grower. Yeah, yeah, it's like a combination of 1022 01:11:55,279 --> 01:12:00,520 that moving game, but with the dungeon crawling RPG stuff that's neat, is 1023 01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:02,720 it? Does they have deck building? Or is this? It has backpack 1024 01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:08,920 organization? Yes? Stuff? Oh like that. You organize your backpack much 1025 01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,840 like you would in like a Resident Evil game. It's like a grid style 1026 01:12:12,399 --> 01:12:16,079 and then from there you choose your weapons and that informs your style of combat. 1027 01:12:16,239 --> 01:12:18,920 So like if you only got a backpack full of bats, you can 1028 01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:23,479 only swing away at folks, sure, and then you're screwed if you come 1029 01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:27,560 up with someone with a knife. Of course. All right. The Game 1030 01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:31,359 Award nominees were also announced. We' I'm not gonna go over all the categories. 1031 01:12:31,399 --> 01:12:35,279 I got some here. Game of the Year is. The six nominees 1032 01:12:35,279 --> 01:12:39,560 are Allen Wake two, Balder S K three, Marvel Spider Man two, 1033 01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:41,960 Super Mario Brothers, Wondering the Legend is all the Tiers of the Kingdom, 1034 01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:44,840 and there's one other. I can't remember what it is. Oh, that's 1035 01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:48,119 right reside before remake. There you go, we did it. Yeah, 1036 01:12:48,119 --> 01:12:51,079 go ahead. It's interesting because I think it was always going to be those 1037 01:12:51,119 --> 01:12:56,560 other five and basically the one question mark was what's that six to one going 1038 01:12:56,680 --> 01:13:00,239 to be? What's going to slot in there? I mean I know you're 1039 01:13:00,239 --> 01:13:01,680 getting a lot of this is the Bresley Evil four guy, Mike, I'd 1040 01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:05,720 rather Armored Course six be in there than Recivil four whatever that seems right? 1041 01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:10,000 Yeah, I think Forest, if your game didn't get in, I think 1042 01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:12,199 it's gonna be real easy for a lot of people like which one is my 1043 01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:15,840 enemy now? And they're gonna pick on Resne before your game should have been 1044 01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:19,760 better than what I'm gonna say. But you know, congrats, Mike, 1045 01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:26,199 I know you worked really hard on this game. Uh well, look, 1046 01:13:27,239 --> 01:13:30,920 it's not gonna win. It's this is probably between all only two, borts 1047 01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:33,279 Gate three and Tiers of the Kingdom. That's probably the competition. I mean, 1048 01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:36,960 you guys want to you guys want to say answers real quick out of 1049 01:13:38,039 --> 01:13:41,079 these six specifically yes, out of these six yes, Just you don't have 1050 01:13:41,159 --> 01:13:44,319 to explain it. Just what is your pick? Mike, I think Bortskate 1051 01:13:44,399 --> 01:13:46,800 three wins. I mean, like, is that your children? What's your 1052 01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:48,960 choice? Oh? Oh sorry, I thought were saying who we think is 1053 01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:51,920 gonna win? Oh resdue Forest my game there? Yeah, okay, uh 1054 01:13:53,560 --> 01:14:00,720 uh and then backlar h Allen Wake two, jan Alan Wake two, and 1055 01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:04,000 then I am the legends, all the tiers of the Kingdom. But these 1056 01:14:04,039 --> 01:14:06,880 things could still change. We'll see. Look, if I was sleeping since 1057 01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:11,359 October twenty sixth, they would have been Zelda. Also. I just needed 1058 01:14:11,399 --> 01:14:15,119 to know that. You know, I would have said that too, But 1059 01:14:15,239 --> 01:14:19,159 then I just I keep finding myself going back every other day to Spider Man 1060 01:14:19,239 --> 01:14:24,720 two. Yeah, Spider Man two is a very good It's a shame that 1061 01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:29,159 it's gonna get pretty glossed over here because it was habits with all these insomniac 1062 01:14:29,199 --> 01:14:30,239 games. Yeah, I mean, this is an insane list. These are 1063 01:14:30,279 --> 01:14:34,920 all incredible games. You're right, it is truly an insane list, that 1064 01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:38,640 kind of I mean, if you show me this at the beginning of the 1065 01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:41,479 year, I'd be like, fuck, all right, you know, I 1066 01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:44,279 guess I know some games are missing, but it's hard to even say they 1067 01:14:44,359 --> 01:14:46,159 got snubbed, Like of course I would like to see Armored Course six and 1068 01:14:46,199 --> 01:14:49,520 Pickment four on there. And some people are upset that, like foun Fantasy 1069 01:14:50,039 --> 01:14:55,880 sixteen or street Fighter six or Starfield didn't get on there. But it's just 1070 01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:59,119 been that kind of year. It's been No one's saying starving, it's not 1071 01:14:59,119 --> 01:15:04,039 people are saying star but you're allowed to say anything. If you can say 1072 01:15:04,079 --> 01:15:09,800 whatever you want, that's im. I'm gonna show my whole ass here. 1073 01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:17,359 But I am happy and sad that Hogwarts Legacy did not get nominated. Happy 1074 01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:23,960 in any category because JK. Rowling. Of course, sad for the actual 1075 01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:27,680 developers that worked really hard on that game. Yeah, I'm sure if they 1076 01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:30,760 felt a little salty about that, I wouldn't blame them too much. They 1077 01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:33,199 kind of got caught up in something. And now I haven't played the game 1078 01:15:33,199 --> 01:15:36,119 at all. Is do I think that game is possibly better than any of 1079 01:15:36,159 --> 01:15:39,880 these Games of the Year games. I would be pretty surprised by that. 1080 01:15:40,239 --> 01:15:43,920 No, But like I mean, I have no idea like it would have 1081 01:15:44,039 --> 01:15:46,760 played in Best Narrative. I don't know that like adaptation would that count? 1082 01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:50,880 No adaptations are TV shows? Oh okay, Yeah, I was confused about 1083 01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:54,840 that. I voted. I voted like things getting turned into video games, 1084 01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:57,520 and apparently it was the other way. Yeah. They explained it in that 1085 01:15:57,640 --> 01:16:00,600 text where if you read it, but I know I didn't I read anything. 1086 01:16:00,279 --> 01:16:03,479 Let's see Best Game direction, Alan Wick two, Balder's Gate three, 1087 01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:08,279 Marvel Spider Man two, Super Mario Brothers, Wonder and the Legends, all 1088 01:16:08,319 --> 01:16:12,239 the Tears to the Kingdom you can tell. So it's everything except for resid 1089 01:16:12,279 --> 01:16:14,439 Evil four. Right, well there's only five in this one. Well, 1090 01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:15,479 as soon as that happened, I was like, well, game, there's 1091 01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:18,800 gonna be those five plus one. Yep, I was like, what's it 1092 01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:21,119 going to be? I said at the time, not Resident Evil four. 1093 01:16:21,239 --> 01:16:25,960 So I don't know. Best narrative Alan make two, Balder's Kate three, 1094 01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:30,039 Cyberpunk twenty seventy seven, Phantom Liberty, Final Fantasy sixteen, and Marvel spider 1095 01:16:30,119 --> 01:16:34,720 Man two. Quick question, So best narrative that means best story basically, 1096 01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:39,800 yeah, the best storytelling. Story writing. Storytelling is how I would form. 1097 01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:43,119 It's just like the whole thing, and that's that's probably going to be 1098 01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:47,079 on the way two bouldersk three, Maybe Cyberpunk as a dark horse there probably 1099 01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:54,079 I get it. But Tears of the Kingdom fucking slammed with its storytelling. 1100 01:16:54,199 --> 01:16:56,800 I'd get it. There's not a lot of narrative, but boy it's so 1101 01:16:56,920 --> 01:17:00,039 emotional. But hey, it wasn't gonna make this list. No, not 1102 01:17:00,119 --> 01:17:03,239 really, I don't know of those for best story. You guys going down 1103 01:17:03,319 --> 01:17:08,600 like two, Becca Lar and yeah, I mean yeah, yeah, you 1104 01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:11,560 know, I feel like a lot of people are going to sleep on the 1105 01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:15,239 story of Final Fantasy sixteen. Oh. I thought you were gonna say Spider 1106 01:17:15,359 --> 01:17:19,520 Man. Oh, I did fall asleep during the storytelling Final Fantasy sixteen, 1107 01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:24,840 just to be clear, but no, I think the storytelling in Spider Man 1108 01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:29,560 two is actually pretty good. I think I think it's I think it's surprisingly 1109 01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:32,840 good. Yea, that's solid. I just I just doesn't do I don't 1110 01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:35,479 know. It was very predictable at a certain point. I guess maybe I 1111 01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:39,960 don't really hold that against it so much. But yeah, balders Kate three, 1112 01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:42,520 I'm getting into that enough that I'm like, ah, the storytelling there 1113 01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:45,960 is really good. I could see Boulderskate three winning that. I think it's 1114 01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:49,600 gonna go to balders Kate three. Yeah, I think there's a strong chance 1115 01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:53,399 for that. And then art direction, let's let's do it for this one 1116 01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:57,239 allan Wait two, High Fi Rush, Liza p Super Mario Brothers, Wonder 1117 01:17:57,239 --> 01:18:00,520 and the Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. I flip flop between Wonder 1118 01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:08,680 and Tears of the Kingdom. Actual ahead, I was gonna. I think 1119 01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:12,880 Wonder, Uh, I mean for me personally, probably takes. I think 1120 01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:15,760 I actually am voting for Wonder. I think if I just choose one, 1121 01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:18,800 come on, this is where we can give High five Rush Award and it'll 1122 01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:25,239 win for best very specifically music, beat, fighting, game audio design. 1123 01:18:25,399 --> 01:18:29,560 Like yeah, yeah, for sure. But just the way that that game 1124 01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:35,840 transitioned between like the actual animated segments was incredible. I just love the way, 1125 01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:40,239 and I know, like definitely deserves to be nominated. Without it nominated, 1126 01:18:40,279 --> 01:18:43,640 I'd be happy for one. I think it's surprising that lies off P 1127 01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:47,039 got nominated, and I know that bomb Rush Cyberfunk is just aping the jet 1128 01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:54,760 grind radio aesthetic, but surprise blood Borns. So yeah, so I'm I'm 1129 01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:58,079 surprised at lies of P made it. But something like bombers Cyberfunk Funk, 1130 01:18:58,199 --> 01:19:04,279 I don't think very many people played bomb Rush cyberfunfortunately probably Yes, it's a 1131 01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:08,479 certain point. It's the popularity contest, it really is. I bet if 1132 01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:13,199 you did like a cross section, like an algorithm of like multiplying a game's 1133 01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:16,119 sales with its Metacritics score, you would be able to answer the question to 1134 01:19:16,159 --> 01:19:21,640 all these categories pretty safely. Let's oh, then best performance Ben Star, 1135 01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:27,680 Cameron Montahan, Idris Elba, Melanie Libbard who is an Allen Way two, 1136 01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:32,119 Neil Newban who's in balder Skate three, and Uri Larryhal Yes story and yes, 1137 01:19:32,159 --> 01:19:38,119 and then Uri Loenthal who is Spider Man. Yeah, I mean Ben 1138 01:19:38,199 --> 01:19:44,720 Starr Star for Yeah Internet gem Ben Starr sweet little boy. Yeah, guys, 1139 01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:46,279 a little bit obsessed with the cheesecake Factory. He won't let us go 1140 01:19:46,319 --> 01:19:49,840 in, he won't stop talking about. It's embarrassing at a certain point, 1141 01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:54,279 but whatever, He's cool otherwise other than that. Yeah, whether or not 1142 01:19:54,439 --> 01:20:00,359 you like Final Fantasy sixteen or you detest the story, Ben Star is giving 1143 01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:05,000 it his all throughout the whole absolutely, uh all right. Dragons Dogma two 1144 01:20:05,319 --> 01:20:10,760 has been raided, suggesting their release isn't far off. Dragons Dogma two has 1145 01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:14,279 been raided in Saudi Arabia. Capcom has not announced the release date, but 1146 01:20:14,319 --> 01:20:18,119 the game is fairly far along. Capcom did recently say that an undisclosed title 1147 01:20:18,119 --> 01:20:23,720 will be released by March twenty twenty four. Most people assumed this was Monster 1148 01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:27,640 Hunter, which is due. Uh, but this game's rated, and usually 1149 01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:30,199 when these things these ratings happen. We get the games within about six to 1150 01:20:30,359 --> 01:20:34,960 ten weeks in that range. Uh, that's shocking. Yeah, but this 1151 01:20:35,119 --> 01:20:41,079 game's been disclosed. Yeah they announced this a while. Yeah, yeah, 1152 01:20:41,079 --> 01:20:43,479 disclosed in what way? Like, yeah, of course it was announced, 1153 01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:46,680 but coming I mean you think it? Does that make it make sense that's 1154 01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:53,840 coming out in like the before March Yeah, man sings fests. I mean, 1155 01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:57,079 I wouldn't be shocked if we had a real coming out party trailer thing 1156 01:20:57,119 --> 01:20:59,640 for this game at the Game Awards or something like that. Right with the 1157 01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:04,159 release state. I can totally see that happening. Accept the award for Game 1158 01:21:04,199 --> 01:21:08,640 of the Year, they're going to bring up their friends and then Dragon's Dogma 1159 01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:13,439 two come up here, buddy, you do this too. I can't wait 1160 01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:15,279 for that. I can't wait for that Game of the Year, like like 1161 01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:19,560 Orchestra overture they're going to do by the way with songs. Oh yeah, 1162 01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:25,000 they're going to play bullet in the Blade from Flute Man needs to return. 1163 01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:30,800 That was the first person they booked. After this, be there immediately. 1164 01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:35,199 He's gonna present for Game of the Year. We need to get the Flute 1165 01:21:35,239 --> 01:21:41,159 Man on the couch. Okay, we'll get him. Let me see, 1166 01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:45,720 we'll see. I think it's if this game is coming out before March. 1167 01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:48,439 I think, Mike, you're exactly right. Game of the Game of the 1168 01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:53,960 Game of Year Awards and then a date and a big reveal and they say, 1169 01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:56,560 hey, show up in like a week and we'll have a big like 1170 01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:58,840 showcase of all the stuff. They've already done one of those, But I 1171 01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:00,560 don't think they had a date at that point clearly. So yeah, we 1172 01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:04,039 should hear about this very soon. If this is the case. Lariyan is 1173 01:22:04,119 --> 01:22:08,920 teasing that Bouldersgate three, Xbox and physical release news will drop this week. 1174 01:22:09,039 --> 01:22:13,159 Larryan's Studio Studios is tease plans to announce an Xbox Series X and S release 1175 01:22:13,239 --> 01:22:15,960 date for Bolder Skate three and a physical edition of the game. The game 1176 01:22:16,039 --> 01:22:19,479 got nominated for eight prizes at the Game Awards. As part of like a 1177 01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:24,640 message about that and saying thanks to fans, they also said Xbox fans and 1178 01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:28,520 fans of physical media should watch this space for a formal announcement. It's going 1179 01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:30,840 to be a busy week. And that was just yesterday, I believe when 1180 01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:33,840 they when they sent that out to fans. So Hey. Yeah, they 1181 01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:36,920 keep saying that that Xbox version is going to launch before the end of this 1182 01:22:38,039 --> 01:22:41,840 year. They haven't said exactly when. They did have this interesting tidbit about 1183 01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:45,920 how they've been optimizing for the Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S and in 1184 01:22:46,079 --> 01:22:50,239 doing that they discovered some serious optimizations that will make the game run better everywhere, 1185 01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:53,720 So a lot of benefits coming from that. But yeah, so it 1186 01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:55,600 seems like that game is going to make it up for the end of the 1187 01:22:55,640 --> 01:22:58,880 year on Xbox, So good luck to those fans. It's so wild that 1188 01:23:00,159 --> 01:23:04,039 Yablo four I have completely forgot about and has not occupied any space in my 1189 01:23:04,199 --> 01:23:08,399 brain. Yeah, like ninety two on Metacritic, and just not even in 1190 01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:11,359 the conversation, not even like people aren't even talking about the getting snubbed. 1191 01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:15,479 Yeah, like, I feel more people are talking about Armor Core six not 1192 01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:18,880 getting nominated for a lot of these categories we just talked about. But like, 1193 01:23:19,119 --> 01:23:24,359 yep, man, that's a better game. Yeah, yeah, I 1194 01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:28,199 like. But it was pretty easy to kind of move on forget about the 1195 01:23:28,199 --> 01:23:31,000 other four when I was done with it. Okay, yeah, all right, 1196 01:23:31,319 --> 01:23:34,520 I gotta I gotta include Balder's Gate three in the Sprint to the end 1197 01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:38,880 of the year. Yeah, we could do that. We could do that. 1198 01:23:39,319 --> 01:23:41,479 Look that thing we do where we play the game next to each other 1199 01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:44,920 and just like force each other to keep playing because I'm starting to make some 1200 01:23:45,079 --> 01:23:47,039 progress, but I also keep playing resume before and so that's on the problem. 1201 01:23:47,199 --> 01:23:49,479 You got your priorities. That's fine, yes, of course, of 1202 01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:53,760 course, of course, real game of the Year. Sure h. Bandy 1203 01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:58,800 Namco Is revealed it's Nintendo partner studio Banda Namco Is officially announced Studio two and 1204 01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:01,720 Studio s. It's internal studio and I guess the studio too, and Studio 1205 01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:05,199 Test. That's an ampersand I think they're one thing. It's an internal studio 1206 01:24:05,239 --> 01:24:09,800 that works with Nintendo on commission projects. The team has worked on a number 1207 01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:13,520 of Nintendo titles, including Super Smash Brothers, Mario Kart, and Arms. 1208 01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:17,000 But previously it was like this not Cloak and Dagger, but this shrouded thing 1209 01:24:17,039 --> 01:24:19,800 that they like, oh we don't have like a Nintendo studio. Now it's 1210 01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:24,039 like just straight up, this is our name, studio that works with Nintendo 1211 01:24:24,159 --> 01:24:27,239 on things. The team consists of one hundred and fifty two employees, thirty 1212 01:24:27,239 --> 01:24:30,479 two percent of which are new graduates. The team is currently working on a 1213 01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:34,439 three D action game project commissioned by Nintendo. Band On Namco has a history 1214 01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:39,640 of working with Nintendo, going back to Donkey Konga and Star Fox Assault, 1215 01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:43,880 the Mario Kart arcade games. Did they do the f Zero arcade game? 1216 01:24:44,039 --> 01:24:47,039 Someone Sega? That was Sega? Thank you? New Pokemon Snap and Pockin 1217 01:24:47,119 --> 01:24:49,319 Tournament. I'm gonna say Pockin. I have no idea if that's right. 1218 01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:55,840 So, yeah, this is like them solidifying this going forward. Nintendo has 1219 01:24:55,920 --> 01:25:02,199 talked about wanting to release games more frequently and uh kind of making these partnerships 1220 01:25:02,239 --> 01:25:05,560 more robust over the long term. It is one of the ways they're going 1221 01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:09,680 to get there. They're going to open more studios internally, probably, but 1222 01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:12,920 having banda namcob be like, no, we are one going to just have 1223 01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:16,359 the studio dedicated to what you need means probably more Nintendo games going forward. 1224 01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:19,119 And band Namco has done a pretty good job when they work in Nintendo in 1225 01:25:19,159 --> 01:25:23,119 the past, So I'm pretty excited about this. Yeah. I really liked 1226 01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:30,439 Pokin Poken. Poken was a poken like techin right, Yeah, Pokemon Yeah 1227 01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:33,520 whatever, Yeah, you can use a chandelier ghost chandelier Pokemon a fight. 1228 01:25:34,199 --> 01:25:38,119 Doesn't that sound cool? We all that sounds very cool. Thank you. 1229 01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:42,399 I should man him and get good at this game. Uh. Mass Effect 1230 01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:45,520 five got an in seven day tas on November seventh, but don't expect the 1231 01:25:45,600 --> 01:25:50,199 game anytime soon. The next Massfect game may not see released until twenty twenty 1232 01:25:50,279 --> 01:25:55,520 nine or later. That comes from Jeff Grubb on game as Mornings where we 1233 01:25:55,600 --> 01:26:00,640 talk about this news. Did you say twenty twenty nine? I believe you, 1234 01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:03,640 Jeff, But twenty twenty now, why could they announce this then it 1235 01:26:04,279 --> 01:26:08,399 could come in like it's like by twenty twenty eight, Like let's be fair. 1236 01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:12,079 Oh thank you for being so charitable with jumping up in the timeframe. 1237 01:26:12,399 --> 01:26:15,439 What the they were talking about years from sci fi movies? Jeff Grubb? 1238 01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:18,319 I know, yeah, Hey, so they probably shouldn't do this teaser. 1239 01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:24,199 I don't get it. This teaser was they did this just to have something 1240 01:26:24,239 --> 01:26:27,319 for the fans, but they know internally this game is still far off. 1241 01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:31,479 They are finishing up Dragon Age Dreadwolf, which will probably release next year. 1242 01:26:32,319 --> 01:26:35,319 Almost certainly will release next year, but it could slip. It could but 1243 01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:39,439 probably is coming out in twenty twenty four. It's a game that they originally 1244 01:26:39,479 --> 01:26:44,199 tried to get out this year, and that game when not necessarily when it 1245 01:26:44,279 --> 01:26:46,319 was announced, but like from it's like similar kind of teaser it got I 1246 01:26:46,359 --> 01:26:50,000 think at the Game Awards in twenty eighteen to now I'm being told that that 1247 01:26:50,159 --> 01:26:54,359 from this teaser on the end the end seven day teaser to when this game 1248 01:26:54,399 --> 01:26:57,000 comes out, it's going to be a similar timeline. People point out, 1249 01:26:57,039 --> 01:27:00,520 Oh, but but Dragon Age was rebooting all these other things, and it's 1250 01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:04,119 like that, Yeah, I mean that didn't derail things in some unexpected way, 1251 01:27:04,199 --> 01:27:08,920 that it was all kind of built into the normal development stuff that those 1252 01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:11,880 kinds of reboots happened all the time at that point in the development. And 1253 01:27:12,640 --> 01:27:18,039 I think that they expect a similar timeline for Mass Effect. So twenty twenty 1254 01:27:18,159 --> 01:27:21,479 nine is I just would not get at your hopes up for coming any time 1255 01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:25,119 before that. If people want to, like say twenty twenty seven, knock 1256 01:27:25,159 --> 01:27:28,920 your socks off, but there's no reason to expect it by then. I'm 1257 01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:30,520 going to be in space by the time this game comes back. Yeah right, 1258 01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:33,640 No, you want to hear some fuck Mike Kit'll be in high school 1259 01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:38,119 by the time this pot's fucked up? Stop isn't that fucked upop? I 1260 01:27:38,239 --> 01:27:43,119 hate that Aaron Rodgers might play football again before this team comes out. At 1261 01:27:43,159 --> 01:27:45,199 least this gives us all time to play mass Effect in dramatasins. This is 1262 01:27:45,239 --> 01:27:50,439 a direct sequel, right right, So they did the two key pieces of 1263 01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:54,800 information outside of the trailer, which was just a cool looking lady in a 1264 01:27:54,840 --> 01:27:59,000 cool outfit walking down the hallway and that's it. There was text associated with 1265 01:27:59,039 --> 01:28:01,079 these little clips that they were putting together. One of them said epsilon, 1266 01:28:01,119 --> 01:28:04,319 which is the fifth letter of the Greek alphabet, so obviously mass effect five 1267 01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:11,079 andrama to be in four. There was also Andromeda distress signal was another line 1268 01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:15,439 which confirms that they are going to bring in the mass Effect and drama story 1269 01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:18,600 together with the Massive Act trilogy story into one, which is fine, probably 1270 01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:21,800 the right thing to do. I think it makes sense because you can, 1271 01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:26,720 like you could save things by making the next thing better, right, you 1272 01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:30,760 can ye rectify what is it called not retcon? Thank you? You can 1273 01:28:30,800 --> 01:28:36,399 retcon and make people feel better about Andromeda. If this is a respectful of 1274 01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:41,279 the original trilogy antics that stuff and does something interesting with it, but we'll 1275 01:28:41,319 --> 01:28:44,600 see. It's a long time between now and then, and Dreadwolf will have 1276 01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:47,560 to probably do pretty decently to keep things on and even kill for them. 1277 01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:51,920 Yeah. Oh, and I mean that's not guaranteed buyowers last two games were 1278 01:28:53,279 --> 01:28:57,720 Anthem and Mass Effect and Traumeda. Right, Like yes, the last two 1279 01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:00,279 were Missus, So who knows now to like quell? I know, like, 1280 01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:04,159 man, those BioWare fans are real and they get heated about this stuff. 1281 01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:09,479 I'll just reiterate what I keep hearing. Dragon Age Dreadwolf is in a 1282 01:29:09,520 --> 01:29:15,039 good place. They feel pretty good about that game. So if I'm not 1283 01:29:15,079 --> 01:29:16,399 saying it's gonna be Game of the year material necessarily, I don't know. 1284 01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:19,840 But internally they are feeling pretty good about it, even though like Dragon Age 1285 01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:25,079 Inquisition right did win Game of the Year, that kind of defaulted the game 1286 01:29:25,079 --> 01:29:29,680 of the year right because he has a soft year. But but yeah, 1287 01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:32,119 sounds like they're pretty happy with it, even though they keep delaying it. 1288 01:29:32,199 --> 01:29:35,439 Internally, they haven't announced like a release date, so it's not a real 1289 01:29:35,520 --> 01:29:39,760 delay. It's just kind of the target keeps moving a little bit. But 1290 01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:43,319 that's a normal part of the development cycle and they're feeling pretty good about it, 1291 01:29:43,439 --> 01:29:45,279 so hey, I think it's worth getting your hopes up a little bit. 1292 01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:48,920 I know that we go ahead, and Mike, I was gonna say 1293 01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:53,479 two thoughts. One, I kind of want to play and Drama. I 1294 01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:57,880 never touched a second of that game. He's doing an and Drama playthrough kind 1295 01:29:57,920 --> 01:30:00,000 of tickles my fancy for some reason. Let me put this out there. 1296 01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:03,079 Let me interrupt you real quick. I know that we have a playthrough of 1297 01:30:03,399 --> 01:30:10,359 mass Effect one through three, piloted by one Alex Navarro accompanied by Vinnie Caravella. 1298 01:30:11,560 --> 01:30:15,319 The naming here is two perfect gents, mass Effect, Jan Drameda. 1299 01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:23,880 I know I have also never played Andramaa. Mike, Mike, do you 1300 01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:27,640 know the drama about naming that feature? You're you aware of this feature where 1301 01:30:27,680 --> 01:30:30,119 Alex played Mass Effect. There's drama, no, no, so what what 1302 01:30:30,279 --> 01:30:34,560 What was the name of it? It was mass Alex mass Alex. So 1303 01:30:34,880 --> 01:30:40,760 how would you feel if instead they called it Alexi Quest? All right, 1304 01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:45,439 I remember that that's a terrible name. Okay, everyone prefers Alexi Quest. 1305 01:30:45,560 --> 01:30:49,520 Yeah, it's about Alexi Quest, yes, because yeah, but it's but 1306 01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:53,680 but they went in Mass Alex because they wouldn't have the name of the game 1307 01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:59,760 somewhat in there. Yeah, I think that's probably bestre pro Mike fantastic. 1308 01:31:00,199 --> 01:31:04,359 No, No, I still think they chose wrong background with you Alexas. 1309 01:31:05,720 --> 01:31:10,760 When I saw it written out, it looked better than just hearing alex Ques. 1310 01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:15,640 But that's not the name. But I love Galaxy Quest, but that's 1311 01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:18,720 not what an Alexy Quest could really be about. Anything like oh right, 1312 01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:23,159 oh my gosh, Like this guy's a drummer in this game. It's hey, 1313 01:31:23,600 --> 01:31:34,800 it's empirically the better choice Jan Dromeda and Dramenati Jan Dramenadi m until it 1314 01:31:34,840 --> 01:31:40,880 doesn't mean anything. My god, this is like a special side season of 1315 01:31:41,359 --> 01:31:45,279 Holiday season of Blake Club. Mike and I have to be in spacesuits the 1316 01:31:45,399 --> 01:31:50,840 whole time. It Why do I put the universe? My second thought was 1317 01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:56,560 too many games have days, too many gay friends have days, and it's 1318 01:31:56,640 --> 01:32:00,680 ridiculous if you feel pressure to like tease video games that are coming out almost 1319 01:32:01,039 --> 01:32:04,399 like the twenty thirties, it's a problem. But what would be the funniest 1320 01:32:04,439 --> 01:32:08,000 gay rich I used to have a day? We need to make a day 1321 01:32:08,079 --> 01:32:12,399 for like the Quiet Man or something I don't deserve really into it. I 1322 01:32:12,439 --> 01:32:20,479 don't no one observes Mass Effect Day. You can emails to Jeff Jeff back 1323 01:32:24,199 --> 01:32:31,279 so wrong. No serious person I think celebrated Mass Effect Day. All right, 1324 01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:35,960 Mike, there is no funnier day possible than Last of Us Day? 1325 01:32:36,119 --> 01:32:42,960 I'm sorry? Is that why people are playing through Last of Us all of 1326 01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:45,720 a sudden? Is it really a day? It was was a few weeks 1327 01:32:45,760 --> 01:32:48,520 ago, I think, right, I mean yeah, they I think they 1328 01:32:48,560 --> 01:32:51,199 had to say we have no announcements because they can't, you know, their 1329 01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:57,359 multiplayer games in limbo. But yeah, there's a day that Limbo Day is 1330 01:32:57,479 --> 01:33:02,600 very depressing. Yeah Wednesday, right, it's every Wednesday. Uh, Limbo 1331 01:33:02,680 --> 01:33:05,840 Day deserves a day more than the Last of Us. Who can celebrate the 1332 01:33:05,920 --> 01:33:10,600 events of the Last of Us were like, oh, let's holiday if this 1333 01:33:11,239 --> 01:33:14,199 they took, it's literally just the day. And like the story where like 1334 01:33:14,359 --> 01:33:17,039 the zombie up break at right where the world ends? What are you doing? 1335 01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:23,520 Do you all get like really dirty and sweaty and like kill each other? 1336 01:33:23,960 --> 01:33:27,399 Like what do you like? We're the real monsters. You just give 1337 01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:32,560 you just give a playful bite to your friends like yeah, uh, lego 1338 01:33:32,680 --> 01:33:39,359 two k goal artwork has reported that was that was like bars for a second 1339 01:33:41,119 --> 01:33:45,439 Lego two K Goal. Uh that so sound cool? You can that's my 1340 01:33:45,600 --> 01:33:48,399 that's my producer tag. You're gonna hear that in the beginning all my songs. 1341 01:33:48,439 --> 01:33:54,520 Now. Uh. This is Lego two K's Goal soccer game that's been 1342 01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:58,760 rumored for a while. Artwork leaked via the number one place for weeks, 1343 01:33:58,800 --> 01:34:01,920 the PlayStation store. The game is being developed by Sumo Digital. It is 1344 01:34:02,039 --> 01:34:06,159 a soccer slash football game, your Pa Football. It's coming to PS five 1345 01:34:06,279 --> 01:34:10,560 Xbox Series X and SPS four, Xbox one, Switch and PC. It 1346 01:34:10,640 --> 01:34:14,960 did get rated way back in June from South Korea. I think they keep 1347 01:34:15,159 --> 01:34:17,399 like they haven't even like officially announced it, so it's weird, how like, 1348 01:34:17,439 --> 01:34:19,880 okay, is this thing coming out? It feels like it could just 1349 01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:23,760 get announced it and drop really quickly. But this is part of two k's 1350 01:34:23,800 --> 01:34:30,960 efforts to take their really strong sports development a side of things and expand it 1351 01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:34,159 into more into games that are more family friendly. They did that with Lego 1352 01:34:34,239 --> 01:34:38,600 two K Drive and now they're trying to apply it to soccer. I think 1353 01:34:38,760 --> 01:34:41,560 I'm more excited about this one than I was about two K Drive two K 1354 01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:44,880 Drive. I like the idea and then I played. It's like I'm just 1355 01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:47,800 gonna be with Mario Kart. But hey, a friendly, like family friendly 1356 01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:50,640 soccer game like those always work. Now are you gonna be able to compete 1357 01:34:50,640 --> 01:34:53,920 with Rocket League? I think you got to be different than Rocket League. 1358 01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:57,000 Just kind of try to be more like actual soccer with little lego characters, 1359 01:34:57,039 --> 01:35:00,720 and that could work. Rocket League made soccer better, that's right? Oh 1360 01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:06,239 yeah, well okay, yeah, is going to be in Rocket League? 1361 01:35:08,319 --> 01:35:14,920 Actually? What took so long? Jesus queens? He looks great in there 1362 01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:16,520 too, like he's got these fully animated with the face and everything. It's 1363 01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:19,119 it's like, man, I want to play Rocket League again, just for 1364 01:35:19,359 --> 01:35:21,840 I don't even like cars? What the hell? Why do I like? 1365 01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:28,920 It's the highway? When's that happening? When are they already happened? Have 1366 01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:31,520 already happened? We got to get on that. Man did still rocks Rocke 1367 01:35:31,600 --> 01:35:36,159 League all the time, Like it's amazing how like he bounces off literally everything 1368 01:35:36,199 --> 01:35:39,960 else in his entire life, but he's always just like, man, I 1369 01:35:40,039 --> 01:35:47,800 gotta dip back right into you. It is what So okay, I'm intrigued 1370 01:35:47,840 --> 01:35:51,840 by this, but I guess it does just upset me where it's like they 1371 01:35:53,039 --> 01:35:59,600 even took the name goal where that erases all in any room for the possibility 1372 01:36:00,479 --> 01:36:04,279 anything. I know, I'm going to do this to yourself, man, 1373 01:36:04,399 --> 01:36:08,119 I know, it's like, what is the good analogy where like the guy 1374 01:36:08,159 --> 01:36:11,279 who just like keeps thinking his dog is gonna come home one day. Yeah, 1375 01:36:11,399 --> 01:36:14,479 and that's really what it is. It's just not hockey. He's gone 1376 01:36:14,520 --> 01:36:15,920 to the farm up state, buddy, It's that's where it lives now. 1377 01:36:16,039 --> 01:36:23,560 Literally, Yeah, I'm not upset. Look, we all know European football 1378 01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:27,760 soccer is the distant cousin of hockey, and they are cosmically connected in all 1379 01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:30,840 the best ways. So this will be fine. This will be fine, 1380 01:36:30,920 --> 01:36:33,159 and I'm excited about it. But like, come on, the idea of 1381 01:36:33,279 --> 01:36:36,800 like lego hockey, little lego hockey players doesn't excite anybody, Like, come 1382 01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:45,960 on, come on, listen, I want ice hockey arcade games to come 1383 01:36:46,039 --> 01:36:49,000 back. I don't know if I need to be lego, but listen, 1384 01:36:49,039 --> 01:36:51,319 if they did a lego hockey game, I'm sure it'd be fun, just 1385 01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:56,399 like that old Konami one with the little guy the regular guy in the Fat 1386 01:36:56,439 --> 01:36:59,399 Guy that was that's the best. Yeah. I mean I've been playing a 1387 01:36:59,439 --> 01:37:03,000 lot of like the NBA Jam equivalent of hockey that came out from midway back 1388 01:37:03,039 --> 01:37:06,720 in the day and hockey. Yeah, game's fucking awesome. Is that the 1389 01:37:06,720 --> 01:37:11,399 one you're playing? Yeah, okay, that's got like blitzy, right, 1390 01:37:11,399 --> 01:37:13,720 it's kind of in a polizzy and there's like, you know, you can 1391 01:37:13,800 --> 01:37:15,800 like light the net on fire in the way you do NBA Jam with your 1392 01:37:15,840 --> 01:37:18,520 boom shack lacas. How are you playing that? What are you playing that 1393 01:37:18,560 --> 01:37:25,840 on? Uh? I bought a cabinet, I know, am I And 1394 01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:30,079 you know I'm doing it the the good old fashioned way. Okay, Well, 1395 01:37:30,119 --> 01:37:31,279 I'm just saying like, that's kind of thing we can get going on 1396 01:37:31,359 --> 01:37:33,960 the first second, we can have a little tournament. No, I mean, 1397 01:37:34,039 --> 01:37:38,359 yeah, I'm running it on a PC. I'll get it set up. 1398 01:37:38,359 --> 01:37:42,039 You don't worry. You probably need to do the nuts and bolts there, 1399 01:37:42,199 --> 01:37:44,479 but I would love to do some sort of tournament thing. That'd be 1400 01:37:44,520 --> 01:37:46,800 sick. Yeah. That's a great game. Great game. Finally, and 1401 01:37:46,960 --> 01:37:49,039 I know you guys have been chopping in the bit to talk about this one. 1402 01:37:49,199 --> 01:37:54,079 Rock Steady is launching a Suicide Squad kill the Justice League video series. 1403 01:37:54,119 --> 01:37:58,600 This week, rock Steady will launch a video series for this game. The 1404 01:37:58,640 --> 01:38:02,720 first episode of Suicide Squad Insider will unpack the story and gameplay of the game. 1405 01:38:03,199 --> 01:38:05,039 Uh. This is a game that was supposed to come out this year 1406 01:38:05,159 --> 01:38:09,119 got delayed after its reveal. They said they were going to change some things. 1407 01:38:09,119 --> 01:38:12,800 They weren't going to change the fundamental live services stuff about it. Uh, 1408 01:38:12,920 --> 01:38:16,239 but they're gonna make some changes and improvements. Where you guys at with 1409 01:38:16,319 --> 01:38:19,680 Suicide Squad because I'm just at a point where I there's no way I'm gonna 1410 01:38:19,680 --> 01:38:25,479 care about it until I play it myself. That's where I'm at. It's 1411 01:38:25,520 --> 01:38:28,199 incredible. I guess yeah, I guess it's time to start marketing this again. 1412 01:38:28,319 --> 01:38:30,880 It kind of just felt like it almost felt like we were rid of 1413 01:38:30,920 --> 01:38:34,359 it for some reason. This screens though, that like we have all this 1414 01:38:34,520 --> 01:38:36,960 marketing budget in this quarter, we just just just put it out, just 1415 01:38:38,239 --> 01:38:40,399 put it out. Yep, we got we had a little bit of a 1416 01:38:40,439 --> 01:38:43,960 relapse here with Suicide Squad and then come back. One thing we're gonna see 1417 01:38:44,039 --> 01:38:46,159 in this gameplay. Look, I bet one thing that they like change or 1418 01:38:46,199 --> 01:38:51,000 were able to fix where those kind of stupid, very blatant like Purple Weekend, 1419 01:38:51,439 --> 01:38:56,760 they doubled down. The whole thing is purple. Now, yeah, 1420 01:38:57,479 --> 01:39:00,239 it's not kind of like that. I wonder if they eased all off the 1421 01:39:00,319 --> 01:39:03,279 kind of stupid like looter shooters stuff to it, like what the plus five 1422 01:39:03,439 --> 01:39:08,560 to batmanituned enemies, right, I they probably changed the language around that stuff 1423 01:39:08,600 --> 01:39:12,039 to like, let's let's actually make it meaningful, guys, Hades is right 1424 01:39:12,119 --> 01:39:15,359 there. And if like Hades has been out for long enough time now, 1425 01:39:15,399 --> 01:39:18,600 if you're putting out a game that has like any sort of of progression system 1426 01:39:18,840 --> 01:39:23,199 based on like your tax and you'd kind of you don't do it like Hades 1427 01:39:23,239 --> 01:39:26,239 at a certain point, that's just a neglect. You are doing things wrong. 1428 01:39:26,399 --> 01:39:29,279 They did it right, copy what they did in Triple A Games. 1429 01:39:29,319 --> 01:39:32,920 We haven't seen that yet, so yeah, we'll see. Uh, this 1430 01:39:33,079 --> 01:39:38,680 game's coming out. The original release date was something like, uh, yeah 1431 01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:42,520 May about twenty twenty. No I got announced in twenty twenty, and then 1432 01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:45,239 it was Spring twenty twenty or twenty twenty three, then May, and now 1433 01:39:45,279 --> 01:39:49,479 it's finally got to release date of February second twenty twenty four, very likely 1434 01:39:49,560 --> 01:39:55,640 to actually make that one. We'll see. Yeah, it's gonna be interesting, 1435 01:39:55,760 --> 01:40:00,239 right, because I wonder where it's gonna go, because is it to 1436 01:40:00,319 --> 01:40:01,720 be like, oh, it turns out it's just bad. Is it gonna 1437 01:40:01,760 --> 01:40:04,960 be like it's fine, or is it going to get that you know, 1438 01:40:05,119 --> 01:40:10,119 golden like wow, actually it's good, like Guardian got. I bet it's 1439 01:40:10,239 --> 01:40:14,359 fun to play. I bet it's actually fun to play. I hazard to 1440 01:40:14,439 --> 01:40:18,359 think that, though, because would they have made this much of or tried 1441 01:40:18,399 --> 01:40:21,359 to make this much of a correction at this point of like if it is 1442 01:40:23,079 --> 01:40:26,880 fun to play, well, so that's that's the reporting. Is this correction? 1443 01:40:27,079 --> 01:40:31,479 Isn't that drastic? Apparently it's it is because it was a six month 1444 01:40:31,520 --> 01:40:35,159 delay, and so they were never going to go in and change what really 1445 01:40:35,199 --> 01:40:39,840 how it plays, or even the stuff like people really complaining about, which 1446 01:40:39,960 --> 01:40:42,720 was, well, I don't want a live service Superhero game. Just give 1447 01:40:42,760 --> 01:40:45,640 me another Batman game from the company that made awesome Batman games. And they're 1448 01:40:45,720 --> 01:40:48,640 not really going in that direction at all. It's still gonna be the game 1449 01:40:48,680 --> 01:40:53,840 it was. They're just trying to make it better. So and I've always 1450 01:40:53,880 --> 01:40:57,439 heard that the people who played this game think it's fun. What if it's 1451 01:40:57,479 --> 01:41:01,000 a reverse suicide squad, because when that move originally came out, it trailered 1452 01:41:01,239 --> 01:41:06,920 very very well. But the actual movie poopy, the original trailer for this 1453 01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:13,039 and presentation poopy. This game could be good. I hope she'll be game 1454 01:41:13,079 --> 01:41:15,960 good. It'll be interesting to see how they present it again, because they 1455 01:41:15,079 --> 01:41:19,079 definitely had to, you know, so much of what happened with the delay 1456 01:41:19,239 --> 01:41:24,039 was a result of that one big reveal they had on like the PlayStation Partners 1457 01:41:24,039 --> 01:41:28,960 Showcase whatever that was. It was a disaster, right, so the approach 1458 01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:32,479 has got to be different. And I just the whole concept of this game 1459 01:41:32,560 --> 01:41:39,119 though, of these four villains having to kill the Justice League and Flash is 1460 01:41:39,159 --> 01:41:42,359 going to be weird, and Superman's gonna be evil? Isn't that novel? 1461 01:41:42,439 --> 01:41:45,319 And say, no, it isn't anymore. You guys have done this a 1462 01:41:45,399 --> 01:41:48,720 million times. I'm over it, and I think that superhero fatigue could hurt 1463 01:41:48,760 --> 01:41:51,920 this a little bit. But can I can I get on my comic high 1464 01:41:51,960 --> 01:41:57,880 Horse real quick? Yeah? Yo yo yo? I hate so Marvel right 1465 01:41:58,000 --> 01:42:01,760 they have too many universes, right, yes, but in the comics there's 1466 01:42:01,760 --> 01:42:08,800 always been our the mainline Earth and the Ultimates franchise, and Ultimates is I 1467 01:42:08,880 --> 01:42:14,159 believe where Miles Moreus first got introduced. They're they're rebooting and doing a whole 1468 01:42:14,239 --> 01:42:17,800 new Ultimates universe, and it's so exciting. It's like, ok what was 1469 01:42:17,840 --> 01:42:20,239 the original Ultimates? Like when did that get started? With that? Like 1470 01:42:20,279 --> 01:42:24,960 a very nineties Ultimate X Men was the first one and it was late nineties, 1471 01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:27,560 I believe, Okay, And then I'd Spider Man. Ultimate Spider Man 1472 01:42:27,640 --> 01:42:30,239 is the one I remember, and that like felt very late nineties Internet. 1473 01:42:30,239 --> 01:42:33,800 It might have been like two thousand, early two thousands, early two thousands, 1474 01:42:33,840 --> 01:42:41,279 Okay. So the thing that's exciting me right is they're kind of fludging 1475 01:42:41,399 --> 01:42:47,439 with the origins of heroes for once, where Evil Red Richards, who goes 1476 01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:51,600 by the Creator, gets kicked out of our Earth, he's like, fuck 1477 01:42:51,680 --> 01:42:55,960 y'all, then I'll just go make a new one over here. And then 1478 01:42:56,119 --> 01:43:00,920 he is slowly interfering with the origin stories of how some of the superheroes get 1479 01:43:00,960 --> 01:43:03,199 their powers. So, for instance, he kills he he killed, he 1480 01:43:03,239 --> 01:43:06,920 doesn't kill. He captures the Spider that originally bites Peter Parker when he's a 1481 01:43:06,920 --> 01:43:12,600 little teenager of the lab and then saves it for later. Cool. It's 1482 01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:15,840 neat stuff yeat stuff the maker, sorry the maker? Yeah, why is 1483 01:43:15,880 --> 01:43:23,119 read Richard's evil? He's too smart? Yeah, person anti intellectualism again, 1484 01:43:23,920 --> 01:43:27,800 it's a plague. Hey, that does it for the news? Jan the 1485 01:43:27,880 --> 01:43:30,560 show is once again yours here it is. It's in my hands. It's 1486 01:43:30,720 --> 01:43:34,640 cute. I want to burp it, but I'm gonna put in the fridge 1487 01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:38,439 because it's a little too hot. Yeah. That's what I do with all 1488 01:43:38,520 --> 01:43:42,880 my babies too. Hey, I'm not a father, but I'll still raise 1489 01:43:42,920 --> 01:43:45,840 it. Did you play one on a podcast? Marvel Universe? Earth? 1490 01:43:45,920 --> 01:43:49,760 Is six sixty six? A thing? Six sixty six. That's probably six 1491 01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:56,359 definitely a thing that's that's us. Yeah, six six six just gotta be 1492 01:43:56,399 --> 01:43:58,960 like an evil one. Yeah right, yeah, yeah, that's cool. 1493 01:43:59,359 --> 01:44:04,560 Yeah, there's six years is cool? Right back. I'm such a mark 1494 01:44:04,640 --> 01:44:09,439 for Satan. Yeah. Do you like that number of the bet song by 1495 01:44:09,479 --> 01:44:13,479 Her Maiden? I do? Yeah? Hell yeah, man's celebrate all the 1496 01:44:13,600 --> 01:44:16,199 Devils. I worry. Uh. I wore a shirt for that album one 1497 01:44:16,279 --> 01:44:20,600 time in the mall, and a lady harassed me for Satanic. Hell yeah, 1498 01:44:21,079 --> 01:44:26,880 uncomfortable. Good good, very good. Well we're gonna go hard that 1499 01:44:26,960 --> 01:44:30,640 you were a Disney altar boy basically just like I just tried to outpace her 1500 01:44:30,640 --> 01:44:33,319 because just kept following me until I left them all because I just made me 1501 01:44:33,359 --> 01:44:38,239 and my brother really uncomfortable. Again, she was she was chasing you, 1502 01:44:38,600 --> 01:44:40,920 just kind of following us. She just kept going, that's disgusting. And 1503 01:44:42,319 --> 01:44:45,039 I was like, why is this lady like jeering me wherever? I I 1504 01:44:45,159 --> 01:44:48,600 was like a teenager. I was really confused. You should have realized she 1505 01:44:48,640 --> 01:44:51,960 didn't like the iron made a number of the B shirt. Yeah, you 1506 01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:57,159 should have like done some like like a vampire like scare at her. Cool. 1507 01:44:57,239 --> 01:45:00,600 Yeah, I should have been like, just stop stop, you're making 1508 01:45:00,640 --> 01:45:05,439 Satan angry. He's channeling me. Yeah. Well we're gonna go take a 1509 01:45:05,520 --> 01:45:11,720 quick break and channel our own dark lords, and we'll be back with the 1510 01:45:11,840 --> 01:45:18,880 Darkest Lord emails. And we're back with emails. Bombcasts a giant bomb dot 1511 01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:25,159 com is the email address to send your emails to. I love and appreciate 1512 01:45:25,720 --> 01:45:28,439 all of the emails that you send. I read all of them. I 1513 01:45:28,520 --> 01:45:30,800 read all of them. Sometimes they'll copy and paste the nice ones if they're 1514 01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:35,680 addressed specifically to a person, and then I print them all out and then 1515 01:45:35,720 --> 01:45:40,279 I cut them up, and then I make a little confetti and then I 1516 01:45:40,560 --> 01:45:45,159 roll around in your emails. So there you go, folks. First email 1517 01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:51,039 comes from Ken. It's about auto saves. What are bomb throwers? Hello? 1518 01:45:51,520 --> 01:45:56,279 So I have heard that people are having a bit of trouble with how 1519 01:45:56,399 --> 01:46:00,119 often Alan wake two saves, and that made me consider the state of auto 1520 01:46:00,199 --> 01:46:03,960 saves in general. I bet there is some game, maybe a handful of 1521 01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:08,760 games even that have done this. But is it too much to ask when 1522 01:46:08,840 --> 01:46:12,800 a game is auto saving a sound place to signify the save is taking place. 1523 01:46:13,399 --> 01:46:15,600 As someone whose first game was Pole Position, I've witnessed a lot of 1524 01:46:15,720 --> 01:46:19,319 changes in how a game is saved. I think that the auto save era 1525 01:46:19,479 --> 01:46:24,159 has been the hardest for me because the auto save icons are easy to ignore, 1526 01:46:24,239 --> 01:46:27,319 and I tend to manually save if given the option. So, anyway, 1527 01:46:27,600 --> 01:46:30,520 do you think auto saves need a sound a sound event associated with them? 1528 01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:33,560 Maybe a ding or the sound of pen on paper, maybe even a 1529 01:46:33,680 --> 01:46:41,760 little jingle. Ken from somewhere in Queens, New York. I definitely also 1530 01:46:42,039 --> 01:46:45,000 don't notice the auto safe thing unless I'm like really looking for it, Like 1531 01:46:45,079 --> 01:46:48,439 I know I want to quit some looking for that icon. I think an 1532 01:46:48,560 --> 01:46:51,640 option for a sound would be good. I wouldn't want that by default, 1533 01:46:51,640 --> 01:46:55,600 though that could be a little yeah acting, I think I don't want to 1534 01:46:55,640 --> 01:46:58,600 hear that. I mean, you should just let me save whenever I want, 1535 01:46:58,920 --> 01:47:01,239 uh, Like only so I wish there was a manual save. I 1536 01:47:01,479 --> 01:47:04,319 get what they're doing. I wish I was like kind of what the resivol 1537 01:47:04,359 --> 01:47:10,000 games do where the whole you can't manually save when you want to think it's 1538 01:47:10,079 --> 01:47:13,000 kind of a hard mode thing, right, but on normal mode you can, 1539 01:47:13,319 --> 01:47:15,600 you know, you get save wherever you want. Who cares? Yeah, 1540 01:47:15,680 --> 01:47:20,000 I don't trust the automo save even when I do see the thing. 1541 01:47:20,479 --> 01:47:23,640 It's like, well, I mean, where are you gonna put me? 1542 01:47:23,840 --> 01:47:26,560 Like where where am I at? Am I gonna be like right where I'm 1543 01:47:26,600 --> 01:47:30,800 standing so I can orientate myself as soon as we get started, or are 1544 01:47:30,800 --> 01:47:33,680 you gonna put me back at some you know checkpoint that I'm not really sure 1545 01:47:33,720 --> 01:47:38,039 about? And so yeah, I usually wish I had a manual save. 1546 01:47:38,079 --> 01:47:40,720 And if I do, I do that and save on exit I do that. 1547 01:47:42,159 --> 01:47:45,920 But as at a certain point. As long as a game says how 1548 01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:49,800 long it's been since the last time it's saved, I'm good At this point 1549 01:47:49,920 --> 01:47:54,720 with games. I am at peace. As long as it says you saved 1550 01:47:54,920 --> 01:47:57,800 two seconds ago, I'm like, okay, shutting you off. We're good, 1551 01:47:57,960 --> 01:48:00,479 and then I go about my day. It's almost like we should have 1552 01:48:00,600 --> 01:48:04,960 some sort of like unifying like agreement, you know, in the same way 1553 01:48:05,000 --> 01:48:11,279 that all cars require backup cameras. Now, well maybe just maybe we all 1554 01:48:11,359 --> 01:48:15,239 agree that. Like I don't want to get too greedy, hear, but 1555 01:48:15,439 --> 01:48:18,000 like a total playtimer, like if you could just do that for me, 1556 01:48:18,199 --> 01:48:21,399 would just be like a real quality of life sort of thing. Yeah, 1557 01:48:21,600 --> 01:48:27,039 uh and yeah, like the you know, just to know how long you've 1558 01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:30,800 it's been since you played. I think that is like or the time of 1559 01:48:30,920 --> 01:48:35,600 save, right, Like give me that and that's it and then anything else 1560 01:48:35,640 --> 01:48:39,680 you can do your own thing, but let me just standardize that. Yeah, 1561 01:48:39,720 --> 01:48:41,880 are you guys feeling about I don't know, I don't I don't know 1562 01:48:41,960 --> 01:48:45,239 how often you play your xboxes? Jan, I know you're not using an 1563 01:48:45,399 --> 01:48:49,479 Xbox, but the what's it called quick resume? Thank you? Yeah? 1564 01:48:49,600 --> 01:48:53,520 How are you guys? Feeling about that these days. Whenever I whenever I 1565 01:48:53,600 --> 01:48:55,720 do start up an Xbox A game, even if it's like from oh, 1566 01:48:55,720 --> 01:48:58,920 I haven't played this in weeks and it picks right back up from where I 1567 01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:01,319 left off using quickers, I'm still really impressed by it, and I just 1568 01:49:01,840 --> 01:49:05,399 it does just break just often enough that's like, oh, I'm still not 1569 01:49:05,520 --> 01:49:10,960 expecting it to work. It's not totally flawless, right, So it's because 1570 01:49:11,000 --> 01:49:16,039 of that, uh, and the reasons why it loses are unclear, right, 1571 01:49:16,119 --> 01:49:19,720 So I get it with online games for sure, Right, that makes 1572 01:49:19,760 --> 01:49:24,520 sense. But I agree, like I've definitely gone back to it thinking like, 1573 01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:28,199 oh, FC twenty four is just going to be like right where we 1574 01:49:28,319 --> 01:49:31,680 left it, and then no, it's not. It needs to reboot or 1575 01:49:31,720 --> 01:49:34,960 something. So I it's it's a little too wishy wash it to be like 1576 01:49:35,079 --> 01:49:41,039 a feature that I think is you can't really exactly. I think I've been 1577 01:49:41,079 --> 01:49:44,680 spoiled by the switch, like just putting that bad boy to sleep. The 1578 01:49:44,720 --> 01:49:47,800 only time it's boned me is the end of Tears of the Kingdom. But 1579 01:49:47,920 --> 01:49:56,319 that's but that's because of the boning, boning, holler at me. But 1580 01:49:56,439 --> 01:50:00,039 that's because I was using my partner switch and I just needed to reaff de 1581 01:50:00,199 --> 01:50:02,640 keates to the internet. But when I was rocking my own switch, it 1582 01:50:02,720 --> 01:50:09,000 was completely fine. I don't think i'd like a dang for auto saves. 1583 01:50:09,079 --> 01:50:11,920 I don't think i'd like a little sound motif at all. Well, somebody 1584 01:50:11,960 --> 01:50:14,359 said, like for alt, like if it was like a little typewriter noise, 1585 01:50:14,399 --> 01:50:16,159 maybe that'd be fine. Like if this is something really in universe, 1586 01:50:16,600 --> 01:50:19,119 maybe I'd allow it. But I don't know. It could still be distracting. 1587 01:50:19,399 --> 01:50:25,680 Yeah, uh, all right. Next email here comes from Terrell. 1588 01:50:26,600 --> 01:50:30,880 They write in Hi everyone, but the news of Sony delaying games and focusing 1589 01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:34,159 on live service games, I have a question. Can PlayStation actually afford the 1590 01:50:34,159 --> 01:50:38,960 big single player games that it is known for, not only in financial terms, 1591 01:50:39,079 --> 01:50:43,199 but also in regards to a long term business strategy. They seem to 1592 01:50:43,279 --> 01:50:46,600 be a similar situation that Activision was with Call of Duty, where a single 1593 01:50:46,640 --> 01:50:51,359 player off your game could cause a lot of issues. This PlayStation now find 1594 01:50:51,399 --> 01:50:56,920 itself in a similar situation where the big single player games are no longer sustainable. 1595 01:50:57,279 --> 01:51:04,039 Torell some from my iPhone dah kind of they can mostly afford it because 1596 01:51:04,199 --> 01:51:08,800 most of their big games succeed. They're very good at making those, and 1597 01:51:09,600 --> 01:51:13,199 they have the expectations built in that they know that they're going to sell to 1598 01:51:13,239 --> 01:51:15,760 a certain audience, and that audience seems to be growing, especially with the 1599 01:51:15,800 --> 01:51:20,359 Spider Man games. It's not like always growing. I think they haven't updated, 1600 01:51:20,399 --> 01:51:23,560 like the sales on the Last of US Part two compared to the Last 1601 01:51:23,560 --> 01:51:26,039 of US Part one, Like they had a number early on of like eight 1602 01:51:26,119 --> 01:51:29,239 million sold in a week or something like that, and then we didn't hear 1603 01:51:29,279 --> 01:51:30,760 much. I think the estimates are like, hey, it's around ten to 1604 01:51:30,840 --> 01:51:34,279 twelve million. It's no Luigi's Mantern three, as we always say, but 1605 01:51:34,439 --> 01:51:40,880 that's my barometer, right exactly. These games are very, very expensive, 1606 01:51:41,520 --> 01:51:45,079 and the thing I always hear is, yeah, they're not as profitable as 1607 01:51:45,119 --> 01:51:47,359 you would think because they are so expensive, and it's not just how much 1608 01:51:47,359 --> 01:51:51,399 they cost to make. They also spend a lot of marketing. But Sony's 1609 01:51:51,399 --> 01:51:57,520 also not super worried about it. It is an accepted strategy of this is 1610 01:51:57,640 --> 01:52:00,520 our calling card, this is what makes a standout, and so we're going 1611 01:52:00,600 --> 01:52:05,880 to keep doing it. But all of the concerns that this emailer lays out 1612 01:52:06,000 --> 01:52:11,359 of oh, how if one game goes bad, That stuff does exist, 1613 01:52:11,479 --> 01:52:15,000 which is why Sony is looking at live service games. It was going to 1614 01:52:15,039 --> 01:52:17,800 be the alternative strategy. It still is right now according to them, going 1615 01:52:17,840 --> 01:52:20,720 to be their alternative strategy. I don't know how much we believe that, 1616 01:52:20,880 --> 01:52:25,000 how much gamers believe that, how much investors believe that, but that is 1617 01:52:25,319 --> 01:52:29,600 currently what they're saying, and they need that because, yes, if the 1618 01:52:29,720 --> 01:52:31,600 Last of US Part three comes out and for some reason as a bust, 1619 01:52:31,880 --> 01:52:38,359 that would be really hurtful to Sony's bottom line. It wouldn't completely knock them 1620 01:52:38,399 --> 01:52:40,960 down the way it would have with some of these other publishers. And the 1621 01:52:41,000 --> 01:52:43,239 big reasons for that is, like, Sony's got a lot of momentum with 1622 01:52:43,319 --> 01:52:46,920 its console sales, and really, PlayStation network is such a strong backbone at 1623 01:52:46,960 --> 01:52:50,960 this point where it's the subscribers for that millions of those subscribers like forty million 1624 01:52:51,039 --> 01:52:55,600 or something like that, and people spend a lot of money on micro transactions 1625 01:52:55,600 --> 01:52:59,520 still in third party games on the PlayStation and that is a steady, steady 1626 01:52:59,560 --> 01:53:03,159 revenue. So Sony's going to be like this, It's got the sturdy backbone. 1627 01:53:03,600 --> 01:53:08,920 Its issues are just with it can't identify where to grow, whereas like 1628 01:53:09,319 --> 01:53:11,600 all these other publishers are like, we don't know where to grow. And 1629 01:53:11,760 --> 01:53:14,359 also, if one of these games go bad, we're going to be fucking 1630 01:53:14,439 --> 01:53:16,720 boned, and Sony's just not in that position, that's all. Do you 1631 01:53:16,880 --> 01:53:21,399 think that Sony may learn the wrong lessons from the success of Spider Man two? 1632 01:53:21,720 --> 01:53:27,199 And yes, they're fine doing these big blockbuster single parad games, but 1633 01:53:27,279 --> 01:53:30,760 do you think they start to go IP heavy. So that is a lesson 1634 01:53:30,800 --> 01:53:34,399 that's been learned by everyone across the industry over the last couple of years, 1635 01:53:34,680 --> 01:53:42,079 and so Sony's definitely going to be doing more of that. But I think 1636 01:53:42,119 --> 01:53:44,640 that's why again they go back to the live service like that, will do 1637 01:53:44,720 --> 01:53:47,399 our original IP over in live service. We'll take our existing ip that are 1638 01:53:47,439 --> 01:53:50,800 doing very strong, and we'll keep making more of those, and then we'll 1639 01:53:50,840 --> 01:53:55,279 have if we want to make a new big blockbuster game, we probably will 1640 01:53:55,319 --> 01:53:59,600 work in a Superhero Game space, a Marvel space or something along those lines, 1641 01:54:00,199 --> 01:54:02,560 because that makes more sense these days than trying to get a new IP 1642 01:54:02,680 --> 01:54:05,640 off the ground and be the biggest thing in the world. That's really difficult. 1643 01:54:05,840 --> 01:54:09,640 On top of making a game, which is also really difficult. So 1644 01:54:10,319 --> 01:54:13,199 yes, Sony's learning that lesson, and it might I think in the long 1645 01:54:13,279 --> 01:54:15,479 run it probably I think you're probably right, Jan, it probably will be 1646 01:54:15,560 --> 01:54:17,720 the wrong lesson because it's like you still got to try to make new IP 1647 01:54:17,840 --> 01:54:21,359 because that's investing in your future in a way that renting IP just isn't. 1648 01:54:23,119 --> 01:54:28,079 But they're definitely going along with the trend right now, and EA renting IP 1649 01:54:28,239 --> 01:54:31,479 all over the place. You know, even it'll be soft Yes, you'd 1650 01:54:31,520 --> 01:54:34,479 be softy Avatar, Yes, and then even like two K with like the 1651 01:54:34,600 --> 01:54:39,560 these Lego games, but hey, we want to expand into making more games 1652 01:54:39,640 --> 01:54:41,520 or families. What are we gonna do, Well, we're gonna work with 1653 01:54:41,600 --> 01:54:45,159 Lego and all these different things. So it's just that that is the trend 1654 01:54:45,199 --> 01:54:49,159 in the industry overall right now. Like I can see a world where PlayStation 1655 01:54:49,520 --> 01:54:55,800 is making a Dune game. Yeah, I mean if and I think if 1656 01:54:56,600 --> 01:54:59,720 as those ips continue to grow, if they if they do better and better 1657 01:54:59,720 --> 01:55:02,039 from move movie to movie, there will be a line of these big companies 1658 01:55:02,079 --> 01:55:08,520 waiting to work with them. Yes. Absolutely, It's like this factory line 1659 01:55:08,680 --> 01:55:13,600 of do you have something successful as a comic book or a novel or something 1660 01:55:13,680 --> 01:55:15,960 like that well might get turned into a movie or a TV show, and 1661 01:55:15,039 --> 01:55:18,760 that like Netflix and Amazon, they are still fighting over those properties. As 1662 01:55:18,840 --> 01:55:21,439 much as like they've been in precarious positions over the last couple of years, 1663 01:55:21,680 --> 01:55:26,560 they still really want to be the companies that grab those and then those can 1664 01:55:26,680 --> 01:55:29,239 be the next things to get turned into video games, and then the video 1665 01:55:29,279 --> 01:55:31,279 games can get turned back into TV shows and it's all just kind of feeding 1666 01:55:31,319 --> 01:55:33,920 into one another. And that's what they want to do because a lot of 1667 01:55:33,960 --> 01:55:38,720 these executives see it working somewhere else and they that makes them think it is 1668 01:55:38,760 --> 01:55:42,079 a much it's less risky than if they were to start their own thing. 1669 01:55:43,640 --> 01:55:48,319 Another question for the room here, it feels like, why doesn't a big 1670 01:55:48,439 --> 01:55:53,439 publisher, and when I say big publisher, I mean Sony or Microsoft or 1671 01:55:53,520 --> 01:56:00,319 Nintendo in this case, why don't they take in IP like let's say Despicable 1672 01:56:00,439 --> 01:56:05,159 Me or Shrek and make a good license game. What if there was like 1673 01:56:05,199 --> 01:56:12,479 a first party Shrek gave. I'm I'm just speaking myself of just desires out 1674 01:56:12,520 --> 01:56:15,479 into the universe, right, Well, the t I don't made him Taro 1675 01:56:15,600 --> 01:56:17,520 games for a while there, remember that was right, it was game freak. 1676 01:56:17,600 --> 01:56:20,199 Actually, yeah, yeah, I think it's what Jeff's saying. I 1677 01:56:20,199 --> 01:56:25,279 think especially Nintendo is like, well, we'll just invest in our own iph 1678 01:56:25,399 --> 01:56:28,920 obviously. I think Microsoft and Sonny feel that a bit like Sony. You 1679 01:56:29,000 --> 01:56:32,159 know, a Spider Man that is Sony related, still right, they don't 1680 01:56:32,199 --> 01:56:36,560 have to go over to a universal or an illumination and like try to wrangle 1681 01:56:36,640 --> 01:56:40,319 together some kind of deal to do that, but they do have to regular 1682 01:56:40,399 --> 01:56:43,920 deal separate from their movie deal for Spider Man for video games, like Marvel 1683 01:56:44,279 --> 01:56:46,279 still owns the video game rights, so they have to make a deal there, 1684 01:56:46,520 --> 01:56:50,359 but it still feeds into their the synergy there of them making the movies, 1685 01:56:50,479 --> 01:56:53,840 so it makes all the sense in the world for them to do it. 1686 01:56:54,000 --> 01:57:01,720 Yes, I think for Family IP it is likely that the perception is 1687 01:57:02,399 --> 01:57:05,319 you don't need to put as much work into those to get a return on 1688 01:57:05,439 --> 01:57:09,920 your investment, And if you were to put a two hundred million dollar budget 1689 01:57:09,960 --> 01:57:13,319 into a Shrek game, you're not going to get them investment back on that. 1690 01:57:13,399 --> 01:57:15,920 At least I think that's what they believe. They're wrong, of course, 1691 01:57:15,000 --> 01:57:18,760 we know that, yes, but that's what they believe it will outperform 1692 01:57:18,880 --> 01:57:21,960 Luigi's Mansion three yes, or if anything could, it would be the two 1693 01:57:23,000 --> 01:57:28,199 hundred million dollars Shrek game. Yeah, that's absolutely it if the margins are 1694 01:57:28,399 --> 01:57:32,399 what they are with putting out actual dog shit. Yeah. I think it's 1695 01:57:32,399 --> 01:57:36,399 just everyone's afraid of making family games to go up against Nintendo. It's really 1696 01:57:36,439 --> 01:57:40,920 hard and Nintendo does not spend two hundred million dollars on their games, so 1697 01:57:41,239 --> 01:57:46,039 you are just taking a real risk for no proven return. A sack Boys 1698 01:57:46,079 --> 01:57:50,600 big adventure, I do. No. I got that on the Steam Deck 1699 01:57:50,600 --> 01:57:54,199 and the kids like it sto. Yeah that was that was That was okay, 1700 01:57:54,960 --> 01:57:58,399 But I don't think it sold. No nobody played it. Nobody played 1701 01:57:58,439 --> 01:58:00,359 it. I mean even Ratchet Clay didn't sell as well some of these other 1702 01:58:00,560 --> 01:58:03,279 games for sure, which is a shame because that's like the best game on 1703 01:58:03,359 --> 01:58:06,359 the place. You should it's the best game. Well, I mean I 1704 01:58:06,359 --> 01:58:10,560 think it's the best rection in Clank game probably, but probably that or a 1705 01:58:10,600 --> 01:58:16,800 cracking time. Next email comes from Alex and Bendigo, Australia. Alex writes 1706 01:58:16,840 --> 01:58:21,119 in as soon as Jan described what a code Grandma was on episode ninety one 1707 01:58:21,159 --> 01:58:24,800 of the dump truck. Oh geez, I loved that. I loved that 1708 01:58:24,880 --> 01:58:27,039 I was listening to in Disney and I was like, oh, I hope 1709 01:58:27,119 --> 01:58:30,199 Jan explains whether Grandma is. They are not ready for it. They are 1710 01:58:30,319 --> 01:58:34,359 not ready for I got it, I gotcha. I imagine various crew members 1711 01:58:34,520 --> 01:58:40,880 wandering around Disney covertly dropping piles of Mike's ashes from their pant legs, like 1712 01:58:41,000 --> 01:58:44,640 the prisoners did in the film The Great Escape. Oh yeah, do what 1713 01:58:44,760 --> 01:58:48,319 you will with this information, Alex and Bendigo Australia. Mike, just remind 1714 01:58:48,359 --> 01:58:51,159 me again, I have a pretty good idea of what this is, but 1715 01:58:51,319 --> 01:58:56,239 just for our listeners who weren't listening, and for myself completely remember the details. 1716 01:58:56,880 --> 01:59:00,560 It is co Grandma is when a person who works at Disney see someone 1717 01:59:00,640 --> 01:59:05,439 trying to spill ashes of a loved one Programma. Yeah, you caught somebody 1718 01:59:05,520 --> 01:59:10,159 trying to spread ashes anywhere in the park. And it's just incredible that there's 1719 01:59:10,199 --> 01:59:14,600 a code for that specific because it must happen fifteen times a day. Apparently, 1720 01:59:14,840 --> 01:59:17,600 yes, I hope it happens fifteen times a day. Is maybe let's 1721 01:59:17,640 --> 01:59:21,199 take uh, let's let's take the members of Giant bombs. So that's Jeff, 1722 01:59:21,359 --> 01:59:26,239 Jeff, Me, Dan, tam Lucy, six people to spread your 1723 01:59:26,239 --> 01:59:30,640 ashes across Disney. Let's go to Disneyland first. Where do you want the 1724 01:59:30,760 --> 01:59:39,119 six parts of Mike Manatti's ashes to be nice? Right? Yeah?

Yeah, 1727 01:59:48,600 --> 01:59:54,199 you dumb ass. Okay, stupid saying stupid things. I thought you were 1728 01:59:54,399 --> 01:59:59,039 just there back alar in the Indiana Jones ride where you go behind the head 1729 01:59:59,039 --> 02:00:01,680 of Mara and there's all those skulls in that text ghosts. Lots of ashes 1730 02:00:01,800 --> 02:00:12,479 there, maybe too, maybe extra Mikey right, okay, you know what, 1731 02:00:12,560 --> 02:00:15,439 Yeah, we'll send Turbo, Shawn and Nikki to spread like a little 1732 02:00:15,439 --> 02:00:17,800 bit more juice over there. Yea, the back the backside of water and 1733 02:00:17,880 --> 02:00:23,359 Jungle Cruise. Okay, uh, it's spot Spot, the mint Jewel of 1734 02:00:23,479 --> 02:00:28,800 bar where I get my Bennet's. Yeah, the big that that that's gotta 1735 02:00:28,840 --> 02:00:32,840 be one of them, for sure. I like it should be somewhere in 1736 02:00:32,880 --> 02:00:40,520 Tomorrowland. But nothing's really big Spender Mountain Mountain is kind of scary for me 1737 02:00:40,520 --> 02:00:44,039 anymore. Big thunder Mountain, Big thunder Mountain. Where you see the goats. 1738 02:00:44,159 --> 02:00:46,039 There's a goat there, and I always before you go down the second 1739 02:00:46,079 --> 02:00:49,359 hill and I go goat. Okay, Yeah, and everyone on the t 1740 02:00:50,000 --> 02:00:53,840 because they're like, Mikey did it. He did his line a lot of 1741 02:00:53,960 --> 02:00:58,039 ashes. Just throw it right at that fucking goats face. Yeah, someone 1742 02:00:58,079 --> 02:01:02,000 in Chad. You don't want to figure to be your Disneyland. But by 1743 02:01:02,119 --> 02:01:08,239 the way, big figment development's happening right now, Huge figment developments. Disney's 1744 02:01:08,239 --> 02:01:12,840 been teasy something. He's been hours and I don't know what he's talking about. 1745 02:01:13,000 --> 02:01:16,279 A huge developments. Tell us, Mike, tell us about this dusty 1746 02:01:16,479 --> 02:01:23,199 ass spiral does He's been like sharing a lot of pictures of like figment with 1747 02:01:23,279 --> 02:01:27,359 like his idea book, and he's been going to imagineering I think because of 1748 02:01:27,479 --> 02:01:30,359 us. Yeah, they're going to announce an update to that rye finally. 1749 02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:34,079 Yeah, they're gonna put him out of his misery. Big How many more 1750 02:01:34,119 --> 02:01:39,359 Disneyland spots? So one more? One one more? Just inside the steam 1751 02:01:39,399 --> 02:01:43,039 stack of the Mark troin riverboats, you might need like somewhat taller. It's 1752 02:01:43,039 --> 02:01:46,119 pretty high up there, just boiling water. Coming out of it. Drop 1753 02:01:46,239 --> 02:01:50,399 it great. Yeah. Yeah, So you're putting your ashes in the steam 1754 02:01:50,439 --> 02:01:55,359 stacks so that it's evenly dispersed along the river. Is that what will be 1755 02:01:55,479 --> 02:01:59,800 like in there forever? Because ashes have memory, but like a lot of 1756 02:02:00,039 --> 02:02:09,520 it will gets you know, hearing the dumbest ship you've ever heard. I 1757 02:02:09,600 --> 02:02:14,039 got I fell down a YouTube rabbit hole about a month ago with people doing 1758 02:02:14,199 --> 02:02:20,520 like urban exploration at Disney urbs. Yeah, urbs, our splash, Disney 1759 02:02:20,720 --> 02:02:27,399 Underscore, urbex underscore figment. That's wild. That's some wild ship. I 1760 02:02:27,680 --> 02:02:33,239 I. It's not behavior you want to encourage, but urban explanation or urban 1761 02:02:33,279 --> 02:02:36,399 exploration is this where you go in place instead have been shut down or what? 1762 02:02:36,800 --> 02:02:41,760 It's just people trespassing. It's like fancy trespassing is really what that means? 1763 02:02:41,840 --> 02:02:44,560 I mean in Disney World, the big one is they used to have 1764 02:02:44,760 --> 02:02:47,279 this island on one of the lakes, which was basically like a little zoo. 1765 02:02:47,720 --> 02:02:51,279 It's like some bad zoo with some birds and stuff. It's been shut 1766 02:02:51,359 --> 02:02:57,079 down forever, but people will like swim to it and crocodile invested water, 1767 02:02:57,119 --> 02:02:59,960 so will swim to and it's kind of hang out there for like day, 1768 02:03:00,239 --> 02:03:02,600 and a lot of the architecture is still there. It's really interesting. It's 1769 02:03:02,600 --> 02:03:06,920 all just overgrown and weird but very dangerous. Like you're talking about birds. 1770 02:03:06,960 --> 02:03:10,600 Reminds me of when I was playing Mortal Combat yesterday and there was a bird 1771 02:03:10,600 --> 02:03:12,560 in the game and I said pterodactyl. And you're like, Jeff, why 1772 02:03:12,560 --> 02:03:17,159 would there be a pterodactyl? But you're right, like to be this frustrated 1773 02:03:17,199 --> 02:03:21,199 with me, But Jess saw something in the sky. You're like, I 1774 02:03:21,319 --> 02:03:28,800 bet that's a pterodactyl, the only the only thing that flies. They're really 1775 02:03:28,840 --> 02:03:31,399 god the better parts of those things are like the stuff that's hidden in plain 1776 02:03:31,560 --> 02:03:34,760 sight. Right, It's like, yeah, that island is like creepy and 1777 02:03:34,880 --> 02:03:40,000 weird and it's like overgrown. But the other like little nooks and crannies of 1778 02:03:40,039 --> 02:03:44,640 Disney that are like just adjacent to an active thing. But these guys like 1779 02:03:44,800 --> 02:03:47,199 go in you know the way and in the Figment Ride, like there's a 1780 02:03:47,279 --> 02:03:51,039 second floor that used to have the kind of interactive playground element and now it's 1781 02:03:51,199 --> 02:03:55,600 just like a lounge for the vacation club people. And for a while a 1782 02:03:55,680 --> 02:03:58,840 lot of that old like playground stuff was still up there. People would steak 1783 02:03:58,880 --> 02:04:01,560 over there and it was weird, I think, real scandalous Disney porn. 1784 02:04:01,800 --> 02:04:04,840 Let's said, there was the whole thing with Buzzy where somebody stole Buzzy. 1785 02:04:04,960 --> 02:04:09,439 If you know, you know, big deal, big deal when they stole 1786 02:04:09,520 --> 02:04:14,800 Buzzy. Well, figment. We all have our assignments. We're all gonna 1787 02:04:14,840 --> 02:04:17,479 choose where we're gonna go spread Mikey's ashes when the time comes, not the 1788 02:04:17,520 --> 02:04:20,079 Haunted mansion. Dude, come on, come on, let's play it out. 1789 02:04:21,079 --> 02:04:26,199 What am I enormy? I mean, come on, we're already, 1790 02:04:27,000 --> 02:04:30,880 hey, place back of large, We're already spreading his ashes evenly, six 1791 02:04:31,000 --> 02:04:35,640 ways fagerous because it looks my ashes are going to look a lot like powdered 1792 02:04:35,680 --> 02:04:40,880 sugar. Okay, well, Dan is not going to do that one day. 1793 02:04:42,600 --> 02:04:48,039 Make make Dan with my Asha mcdad eat Mike NAUGHTI do it? Do 1794 02:04:48,239 --> 02:04:53,600 it? I don't know? Okay, all right, next to you, 1795 02:04:53,640 --> 02:04:59,960 maybe next Joe from New Jersey. Hey, folks. On the last episod 1796 02:05:00,640 --> 02:05:04,159 Backlar was arguing that you were falling into the trap by calling every game lean 1797 02:05:04,600 --> 02:05:11,760 and juicy. As a counterpoint, what are the fattiest and driest games you've 1798 02:05:11,800 --> 02:05:16,840 ever played, and can either of those things quality be a quality rather than 1799 02:05:16,880 --> 02:05:20,920 a downside. I don't know what I'm meaning like this now. I would 1800 02:05:21,000 --> 02:05:26,680 argue that Assassin's Creed is very fatty, but sometimes about to say fahalla, 1801 02:05:27,199 --> 02:05:31,439 wow. Yeah, good one driest forts and Motorsport, and I think it 1802 02:05:31,600 --> 02:05:38,000 was a benefit to a certain extent. It's just grand to Verso seven's dryness 1803 02:05:38,079 --> 02:05:40,439 was maybe a little bit better where it's like, yeah, we're just hanging 1804 02:05:40,479 --> 02:05:43,760 out talking about talking about cars and it's nice, isn't it. And that's 1805 02:05:43,800 --> 02:05:45,760 like maybe a little bit even more pleasant. Yeah, I think that I 1806 02:05:45,840 --> 02:05:49,319 get what Fortza is doing. I think I could use just a bit of 1807 02:05:49,520 --> 02:05:55,359 juice. Yep, they continue, but sometimes you're in the right mood, 1808 02:05:55,600 --> 02:05:58,319 it's exactly what you're looking for. As for dry, I think of games 1809 02:05:58,359 --> 02:06:01,479 with deliberate friction. Amnies The Bunker was a really good game that came out 1810 02:06:01,520 --> 02:06:04,920 this year and was completely ignored, But I definitely wouldn't call any of the 1811 02:06:04,960 --> 02:06:11,880 gameplay mechanics juicy. Thanks great drove from New Jersey. That's another fatty game. 1812 02:06:12,039 --> 02:06:15,000 Maybe maybe PUPG is the dry game then, where I was like, 1813 02:06:15,239 --> 02:06:18,680 I wanted to call that one juicy because it's juicy for me, but actually 1814 02:06:18,720 --> 02:06:21,760 what it's doing is like the good kind of dry of The mechanics are just 1815 02:06:21,920 --> 02:06:27,479 rigid in what they are, and they and they work in unexpected ways, 1816 02:06:27,640 --> 02:06:30,920 but but they are, Yes, they're rigid. So I don't know, 1817 02:06:30,039 --> 02:06:34,399 I think that could work for that. I think the newest Super Smash Brothers 1818 02:06:34,479 --> 02:06:40,479 game, Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, I think it's pretty fatty. I understand 1819 02:06:40,520 --> 02:06:44,159 the fan service of wanting to throw everyone in, but maybe we don't need 1820 02:06:44,239 --> 02:06:49,000 everyone. Oh well, you're wrong there. I just actually played like five 1821 02:06:49,039 --> 02:06:55,720 hours of Smash with some friends. Sunday games so very good, very five 1822 02:06:55,760 --> 02:07:00,840 different kinds of lives. Yeah you do Sunday nights. I spent it almost 1823 02:07:00,960 --> 02:07:05,560 all night underneath my sink trying to fix a leak in my Yeah it was 1824 02:07:05,800 --> 02:07:09,000 plumbing. I was plumbing. Yeah, I wasn't doing that. That was 1825 02:07:09,039 --> 02:07:15,039 handing fun drinking. Hmm, what like fatty is like? Is it too 1826 02:07:15,119 --> 02:07:18,800 many things to do? I mean almost any mms played like World Wars, 1827 02:07:19,239 --> 02:07:23,640 Big Fatty. It's got a problem. Somebody should talk to it. Real 1828 02:07:23,760 --> 02:07:26,079 fat game over there. Yeah, Well, I think Fatty is just like, 1829 02:07:26,800 --> 02:07:30,119 oh, they just didn't stop adding things. Yeah, things excessive. 1830 02:07:30,159 --> 02:07:31,720 It's not just that it's a big game, but it's like, oh, 1831 02:07:31,760 --> 02:07:34,239 they're gonna charge you ten dollars for a horse. Also, come on, 1832 02:07:34,399 --> 02:07:38,159 guys, you have a problem, Like, uh, do you really need 1833 02:07:38,239 --> 02:07:42,000 a side of fries? You already got the fries appetizer that kind of thing. 1834 02:07:42,319 --> 02:07:45,399 Yeah, got it, got it, got it? Okay, Uh 1835 02:07:45,279 --> 02:07:50,159 that's right, fart ass chat. The Persona game can be a little fatty 1836 02:07:50,199 --> 02:07:54,960 at times. Juicy and fatty. Yeah, that's juicy and fatty where shim 1837 02:07:55,039 --> 02:08:00,159 mcgarmy Tedsi fatty and dry. Yeah. Yeah, I really wanted to like 1838 02:08:00,760 --> 02:08:05,159 one I did to Jan I like lasted like a few hours. I was 1839 02:08:05,199 --> 02:08:07,880 like, it was also like too difficult where it didn't need to be. 1840 02:08:09,720 --> 02:08:13,399 Those games are always definitely a bit harder. Uh. I tried to play 1841 02:08:13,439 --> 02:08:16,399 Strange Journey the DS one, and I'm usually pretty good even I was like, 1842 02:08:16,479 --> 02:08:20,800 this is like running the enemies already with a bunch of instakil mechanics, 1843 02:08:20,920 --> 02:08:26,159 and I just I can't, I can't. I think Final Fantasy seven remake 1844 02:08:26,680 --> 02:08:33,960 is lean and juicy at the same time. Whoa, that's a very Juicy 1845 02:08:33,039 --> 02:08:45,960 Game Special Barrett Father. Okay, easy boys, remind me show you guys 1846 02:08:46,000 --> 02:08:50,680 the screenshot of when Ada showed up and she was I had had her modeled. 1847 02:08:50,760 --> 02:08:56,560 Did you guys hear this? Explain yourself, Jeff. I, So, 1848 02:08:56,840 --> 02:08:58,560 as I was getting residuable for I'm like, okay, i'll play that, 1849 02:08:58,680 --> 02:09:01,439 but like to encourage me to do so, I'll go download some mods 1850 02:09:01,640 --> 02:09:05,199 and I threw some stuff in there and I didn't use end up using mini, 1851 02:09:05,520 --> 02:09:09,079 but I, uh, I forgot that I did really anything until Ada 1852 02:09:09,199 --> 02:09:16,800 finally showed up and the proportions were more, and I completely forgot I had 1853 02:09:16,840 --> 02:09:18,399 done this, and I was just like, holy shit, oh my god, 1854 02:09:18,439 --> 02:09:22,279 what is this game? And then I realized it was my sins that 1855 02:09:22,399 --> 02:09:26,720 made it happen. But yeah, it was shocking. What I love when 1856 02:09:26,760 --> 02:09:30,680 I'm playing a game. And then I uttered to myself, whether out loud 1857 02:09:30,800 --> 02:09:35,760 or quietly underneath my breath, damn shawty what that dang DoD Damn Yeah, 1858 02:09:37,800 --> 02:09:43,159 have a batty though maybe always been a battie. Really definitely Ari four just 1859 02:09:43,239 --> 02:09:48,960 a game of batties all right. To end, the emails got a little 1860 02:09:48,039 --> 02:09:54,359 quiz. I got a little quiz let's do it a little quiz about anime. 1861 02:09:54,800 --> 02:09:58,520 Well, sorry to break it, do you shit shit?

Oh fuck yeah, I'm anime expert. 1864 02:10:09,279 --> 02:10:13,039 Jeff Backlar ready for this? Well, well you get name dropped in this 1865 02:10:13,199 --> 02:10:16,359 email. Hey guys, been listening for about a year now and thought i'd 1866 02:10:16,399 --> 02:10:20,720 send in a quiz since you seem to enjoy them. Hey, Josh, 1867 02:10:20,800 --> 02:10:22,800 thanks for listening for a year. Buddy, Yeah, thanks man, I 1868 02:10:22,800 --> 02:10:26,439 appreciate it all podcast points. If you're a newer listener to the Giant BombCast, 1869 02:10:26,720 --> 02:10:31,800 I will kiss you in the mouth is now. It's about when I 1870 02:10:31,880 --> 02:10:37,199 started showing up here everybuddy. Since Jeff Backlar is now an anime, I 1871 02:10:37,239 --> 02:10:39,000 thought you were trying to get me to kiss you on the mouth. Is 1872 02:10:39,000 --> 02:10:39,479 what you were saying? Is that not what he was trying to do? 1873 02:10:39,760 --> 02:10:48,279 I thought that just a few weeks. That's upsetting that kay, No, 1874 02:10:48,520 --> 02:11:01,600 stop, Okay, that ain't right. That boy right. Since Jeff Bakalar 1875 02:11:01,760 --> 02:11:03,840 is now an anime expert, I thought i'd make an anime theme it, 1876 02:11:03,960 --> 02:11:09,239 make it anime themed anime has no shortage of strange sounding titles, partially because 1877 02:11:09,600 --> 02:11:13,000 of them being translated, but also because there's just a lot of weird anime 1878 02:11:13,119 --> 02:11:16,479 out there. I made a quiz where we have to spot the fake anime 1879 02:11:16,640 --> 02:11:20,800 name anime title from a list of three. Not sure if you'll pick this 1880 02:11:20,960 --> 02:11:24,680 quiz, but I'd be happy if you do. Include the answers and an 1881 02:11:24,720 --> 02:11:26,800 image attached to the email. Aniway, Thank you. Hope you enjoy this 1882 02:11:26,920 --> 02:11:33,159 quiz. Spot the fake anime name? Question one. The three options are 1883 02:11:33,079 --> 02:11:39,000 do you love your mom and her two hit multi target attacks, Children of 1884 02:11:39,039 --> 02:11:45,880 the Whales, or Reborn as the villain of my favorite video game? Which 1885 02:11:45,960 --> 02:11:50,680 one is the fake name? Better? Flipping a coin? Well, so 1886 02:11:50,800 --> 02:11:54,359 do you guys feel like that the red herring here is Children of the Whales 1887 02:11:54,560 --> 02:11:56,960 and that the other two like? Okay, so you think the bottom of 1888 02:11:58,000 --> 02:12:01,159 one Whales is definitely real? I think yeah, Like I think the bottom 1889 02:12:01,239 --> 02:12:03,880 one is is uh is fake? Well, okay, so I'm coming around 1890 02:12:03,920 --> 02:12:07,079 to you, Becklar, I agree. I think the bottom one is fake. 1891 02:12:07,399 --> 02:12:09,920 Reborn as the villain of my favorite video game is my answer. I 1892 02:12:09,000 --> 02:12:13,399 think that's real. I don't know there's a lot that's like they love those 1893 02:12:13,880 --> 02:12:16,000 children of the whale. Sounds too normy, but maybe it sounds that. 1894 02:12:16,159 --> 02:12:20,840 I think it's too it's too normy to be fake. But number one is 1895 02:12:20,920 --> 02:12:26,039 like so ridiculous. I know I'm supposed to. That's what it's real. 1896 02:12:26,239 --> 02:12:30,079 That's what I think it is, even like three steps beyond that where I 1897 02:12:30,159 --> 02:12:33,079 actually I don't. I really don't think it's real. I think that your 1898 02:12:33,199 --> 02:12:37,760 mom's too about a multi target attacks is not real? Okay, the answer 1899 02:12:39,000 --> 02:12:43,840 is Reborn is the villain of my favorite video game. It's all right, 1900 02:12:43,920 --> 02:12:46,079 Mike, you got it. You always got to go more extreme. If 1901 02:12:46,079 --> 02:12:48,560 it's anime, what is that even about? Was that show? But it's 1902 02:12:48,600 --> 02:12:52,399 about loving your mom and or to hit mult targets? Is that a he 1903 02:12:52,600 --> 02:12:58,439 t No, Mike, it's not. It's a yowie wow. No, 1904 02:12:58,600 --> 02:13:01,399 it wouldn't be. It's a mom I saw y she does she love you 1905 02:13:01,439 --> 02:13:07,319 anymore because of the yowiness? I don't know, Look at me, Okay. 1906 02:13:07,880 --> 02:13:16,680 Anime expert taps the sign, taps the sign exactly. I'll get this 1907 02:13:16,800 --> 02:13:20,920 one wrong, though. Or your medals, I'm just not wearing them. 1908 02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:26,159 You can't see them. Okay, question two. The three options are my 1909 02:13:26,319 --> 02:13:33,119 chaotic gamer love life that's about me, real girl that's about me. Rascal 1910 02:13:33,239 --> 02:13:35,520 does not dream of bunny Girl sendpie. I think I see that one. 1911 02:13:37,880 --> 02:13:41,640 Bunny Girl is real. I think, yeah, I think the first one's 1912 02:13:41,720 --> 02:13:45,960 fake. Only if you believe bunny girl Spie is real? Is she real? 1913 02:13:46,479 --> 02:13:48,319 Another gamer one? Is the is the fake one again? Man? 1914 02:13:50,399 --> 02:13:52,960 Yeah, that's why I'm not gonna go with it. I wouldn't be surprised 1915 02:13:52,960 --> 02:13:54,800 if it's right, though, So I'm gonna go with a real girl. 1916 02:13:54,119 --> 02:14:01,039 But I'm gonna listen to the anime expert not as one. Love life is 1917 02:14:01,079 --> 02:14:05,279 not real, and y'all are correct, My chaotic gamer love life is not 1918 02:14:05,560 --> 02:14:13,880 real? A question numbers for two. Let's see question number three after school 1919 02:14:15,000 --> 02:14:20,840 bakery? How heavy are the dumbbells you lift? With a question mark? 1920 02:14:20,319 --> 02:14:26,239 And finally, Wonder Egg Priority the hard one. This is very hard. 1921 02:14:26,319 --> 02:14:33,680 My gut tells me number two here. Yeah, but I do love questions 1922 02:14:33,800 --> 02:14:39,199 as names. Wonder Egg Priority, that's pretty silly, Wonder Egg Priority. 1923 02:14:39,319 --> 02:14:43,399 I just need to see the logo of that thing, even if it's fake. 1924 02:14:43,079 --> 02:14:48,479 After school Bakery almost certainly a very delightful, pleasant, low key show. 1925 02:14:50,159 --> 02:14:52,920 I'm gonna go with after school bakery. I don't know, but I 1926 02:14:52,039 --> 02:14:54,520 think just something about it is throwing me off. So I'm going after school 1927 02:14:54,520 --> 02:15:01,119 bakery as being the one that isn't real. The one that is not real 1928 02:15:01,199 --> 02:15:05,319 is after school bakery. Nice. I just wanted it to be real, 1929 02:15:05,479 --> 02:15:09,720 damnit. Sure I get that. I feel like the fun isn't after school 1930 02:15:09,760 --> 02:15:16,119 bakery.

Question Mark are you busy? Question 1942 02:16:13,840 --> 02:16:18,279 mark? Will you save us? Question Mark? Two? My childhood bully 1943 02:16:18,479 --> 02:16:22,199 is now my roommate? Three? Why the hell are you here? Teacher? 1944 02:16:24,880 --> 02:16:28,439 How was capitalized? I think that the teacher is a devil or something. 1945 02:16:30,960 --> 02:16:33,120 I think the first one is fake. It's a bit much, isn't 1946 02:16:33,159 --> 02:16:37,879 it. Yeah. I'm never gonna go with the one that is too much. 1947 02:16:37,559 --> 02:16:41,319 I'm sticking with those always being real. I'm going with the bully. 1948 02:16:41,360 --> 02:16:45,559 Why I think the bully is fake. I'm gonna go with why the hell 1949 02:16:45,600 --> 02:16:50,559 are you here? Teacher? The answer is, my childhood bully is now 1950 02:16:50,600 --> 02:16:56,959 my roommate. You did it, Mike? All right? We got why 1951 02:16:58,079 --> 02:17:03,399 am I here? We got three more? Question five? Can you learn 1952 02:17:03,479 --> 02:17:07,559 to love a zombie? Two? Our love has always been ten centimeters apart? 1953 02:17:11,799 --> 02:17:16,680 Asteroid in love? God, asteroid love sounds like a muppet chill segment. 1954 02:17:16,879 --> 02:17:20,719 Yeah, I'm going with our love has always been ten centimeters apart. 1955 02:17:20,840 --> 02:17:24,159 I think the by throwing in the metric system in there, it's meant to 1956 02:17:24,239 --> 02:17:28,840 throw us all, throw us Americans off. So I think it's our love 1957 02:17:28,879 --> 02:17:35,440 has always been ten centimeters apart. I will continue this thirty three chance exercise 1958 02:17:35,520 --> 02:17:39,840 that we are doing, and I'll say asteroid in love. All right, 1959 02:17:39,920 --> 02:17:43,360 I'll go to the zombie one. I don't think the zombie one is the 1960 02:17:43,760 --> 02:17:48,719 answer is Mike, you got it right? Can you learn to love a 1961 02:17:48,840 --> 02:17:54,159 zombie? Wow? Capital Z for the zombie things? You can't love them? 1962 02:17:54,440 --> 02:17:58,280 Take that. Cranberry's all right, it's okay not love them because they 1963 02:17:58,319 --> 02:18:05,840 don't got a soul. Question number six, The options are the Garden of 1964 02:18:05,959 --> 02:18:13,479 Words, the Day I became a God, the Garden of Eternity. Oh 1965 02:18:13,639 --> 02:18:16,799 Jesus, I think it's the day I became a God. I think the 1966 02:18:16,040 --> 02:18:20,799 I think this is some trickster, my old like middle school multiple choice things. 1967 02:18:20,840 --> 02:18:24,000 Tell me if two are alike, then one of those is probably the 1968 02:18:24,120 --> 02:18:28,760 answer. I'm gonna a garden of eternity. That's too generic. Yeah, 1969 02:18:28,799 --> 02:18:33,040 I'm going Garden of eternity as well. Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding 1970 02:18:33,120 --> 02:18:37,079 ding. Garden of eternity is the answer. All right. I think I 1971 02:18:37,159 --> 02:18:41,840 need a fifth medal for anime expert. Yeah, we're gonna take back Lars 1972 02:18:41,879 --> 02:18:43,799 sign and give it to you. God, damn it, I took me 1973 02:18:43,879 --> 02:18:50,399 all nay. Question number seven the final final question Here, gents, the 1974 02:18:50,520 --> 02:18:56,639 options are. I can't understand what my husband is saying. My STEMPI won't 1975 02:18:56,639 --> 02:19:03,000 take a hint, high score girl. The gamer ones have always been rough. 1976 02:19:03,920 --> 02:19:07,520 I'm going with my SIMPI won't take a hit. Same, I'm going 1977 02:19:07,639 --> 02:19:15,959 high score girl. The answer is for the fake anime, my SIMPI won't 1978 02:19:16,000 --> 02:19:22,120 take a hint. Well, we all got like that, right they they 1979 02:19:22,120 --> 02:19:26,559 use it differently than it's actually the common usage, right usually. I don't 1980 02:19:26,600 --> 02:19:28,920 know.
