3
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:40.280
I am your host this week,
jan Ochoa, hiding my shame under this

4
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:44.719
bright orange beanie because you know,
I got a haircut. I got a

5
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:49.799
haircut to prepare for Pax East this
week and joining me my haircut brethren,

6
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:54.280
Jeff Grubb. I'm still I'm still
on the cusp of deciding one way or

7
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:57.560
the other about the haircut. Could
still do the airport haircut. I don't

8
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.280
think I'm gonna get in there before
that point though, So it'll either be

9
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:04.560
airport haircut or nothing. That's That's
where I'm at. That's uh, that

10
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:07.599
is your life motto. That is
on the Grub family crest. Actually,

11
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:12.000
yes, it'll be on my gravestone. Uh. Speaking about gravestones. We

12
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:19.120
got him killing records left and right. It's speed Runner here, putting people

13
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.680
in the fucking dirt. Mike Manatti, you can't trust the sorcerers sometimes.

14
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.640
Yeah, my hair situation is easy. I'm just gonna have to get the

15
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:29.879
thing and trim off this. You
know, it's funny. I do this

16
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:34.400
little tuft on my forehead that'll grow
out, which is literally exactly the Charlie

17
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.040
Brown thing if I let it go. I've never been seeing that. You

18
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:38.400
do a good job taking care of
taking care of that, Mike, I've

19
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.280
never even noticed that, right,
like you know, the male pounder bonus

20
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.120
like went back, but just like
this little bit right here wants to hang

21
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:49.159
on. Charlie Brown Island. Charlie
Brown Island, Yep, I know,

22
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.519
and joining us just says, oh
my guy, she's impressed. Yeah,

23
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.560
that's why. That's why I said, that's amazing joining us this week.

24
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:05.200
She's excited and happy for her compatriots, her work companions, to leave for

25
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.960
packs East while she holds down the
fort in sunny California. I got to

26
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.759
hear Cut a couple of weeks ago, and now I'm fucking commented. I

27
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:17.879
said something that's pretty sure. I
said, So I didn't notice. Well,

28
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:21.960
I mean, Mike, you know, we we know you hate women.

29
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:30.039
Hey, now, why god,
I know we can't do that Women's

30
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:34.800
Day that was last week. We're
fine, now, you know, respect

31
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.039
extream, you don't respect women on
the equadox, what do you? Yeah?

32
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:45.000
Right, Leo's they're Witches. Yeah, fantastic, fantastic. How's everyone

33
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:50.360
doing? Uh, grub, I
saw that you saw Dune like PM June

34
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:54.039
talking about Dune. It started at
like eleven ten pm actually, when all

35
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:59.919
the commercials were done and everything.
But I did not even like begin to

36
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.919
fall asleep. I was good because
that movie is very good, very entertaining.

37
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.319
I like how they use religion to
manipulate people. That's fun. That's

38
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:13.000
a good story. They should do
that more often. I don't wonder why

39
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:17.479
that only happens in movies. Yeah, yeah, perhaps, But did you

40
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:22.439
like it? Did a live up
to the hype that people have been Yes,

41
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.879
I'm like I go back and forth, like internally, I don't bother

42
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:29.319
other people with these thoughts because they're
inside thoughts. So let's put it on

43
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.000
a podcast. I'm not sure how
much I care about lore all the time,

44
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.800
and it's like, oh, I
care about law when it's good,

45
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.759
like when it's actually super well thought
out, and so Dune is that it's

46
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:44.240
very much that. It's like where
every sort of decision made by these characters

47
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:49.000
has a reason why behind it that
is born out of like the reason that

48
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:53.680
this culture is this way, and
that like permeating getting through to like all

49
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:58.479
of the action sequences, all of
the decisions characters are making. It was

50
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:00.719
really I don't know. It kept
a story like moving forward in a really

51
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.800
fun way, and it's just awesome
to look at because it's a Denny movie.

52
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:09.080
Danny knows how to make him.
I really like Denny a lot,

53
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:13.599
but I just I don't like Cecario
at all. I don't know what it

54
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.360
is. I'm not involved in that. You're right, I did not.

55
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:19.800
I'm like, I wanna go back
to it. I didn't dig Cecario either,

56
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.720
so maybe I was missing something.
I think it's a problem with me.

57
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:29.959
Denny just quietly shut off the podcast. Ye're in his French Canadian.

58
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:31.839
I well, he saw that you
were, you know, his one of

59
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:33.920
his best friends, Bailey Myers,
is on the pot. And then it

60
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.120
was like, oh, these two
fuckers are here. Also, you heard

61
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:40.120
that. You guys say you say
it like that because you don't know how

62
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.720
to pronounce his last name. But
I say Denny like that because we're best

63
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.279
friends. So yeah, sure,
I say that because it reminds me of

64
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.319
the character from the Room. That's
actually why I say that. So what

65
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:53.160
kind of drugs are you taking?
Edny? What kind of drugs that you

66
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.879
take? I just like to watch
you as well. I just like to

67
00:04:55.879 --> 00:05:01.079
watch I was showering. My one
glass thing fell on the other glass thing.

68
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.160
There's two glass things in that shower, so there's a there's a what

69
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:09.160
do you mean? Glass thing?
A jar, a cup, sex toys?

70
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.879
No glass in there? Well,
because like I have the one and

71
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.079
it's like where I put some like
miscellaneous nick knacks and it's on a high

72
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:20.800
show. Then on the is like
my good enough miscellaneous knick knacks is not

73
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:24.519
good enough? That are sexual?
All right? No, I know,

74
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:28.560
I know that was a joke.
What are you talking about? Like I'm

75
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.040
a razor and like extra plates and
cube tips? What do you just?

76
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:35.600
Bathroom? What do you think?
Why glass? Because that's what I had.

77
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:40.319
I had a class container and okay, in retrospect it should not have

78
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:46.240
been glass. Yeah. You ever
get to a public swimming pool and they're

79
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:50.040
like, we actually don't want you
to have glass by our water that we

80
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:55.839
are in, And you didn't like
apply that principle to your little own swimming

81
00:05:55.839 --> 00:06:00.839
pool that you have in your house
in bathroom you may swimming. Yeah,

82
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:02.920
it made such a noise. It's
just incredible. It was like a direct

83
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:08.600
hit the one glass thing on the
only other glass thing, just shatter,

84
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.600
picking up glass everywhere. Just a
little bit got on my foot. I

85
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.399
clean that. Now. Are you
worried that? Because one of the famous

86
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:19.000
things about glass is uh, you
could see through it just like okay,

87
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:23.639
well things about the broom and like
was like really going at it making sure

88
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:27.079
there's an secret glass on the floor. Stilled. I'm gonna That's what I'm

89
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.920
worried about, the secret glass.
So what happened exactly like one of your

90
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:35.839
glass items decided to take a nose
dive just on its own and hit your

91
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:40.879
other glass item and it shattered into
a million pieces. Yeah, they both

92
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:43.959
shattered. So like the one on
the top was probably pushed too far to

93
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.639
the edge and also relatable too high
up, and I was I was like

94
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.360
sick and delirious yesterday, so I
probably like I got my thermometer out of

95
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:57.399
there, so that must be when
like that's also in there, thermometer in

96
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.000
the shower well in case the glass
because you want to go a little bit

97
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:05.680
of mercury poisoning just shelf. Now
it's just an old timey cartoon thermometer your

98
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:09.680
temperature and make sure you're not getting
too heated every time you wash your tufted.

99
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.360
Yeah, I was very stupid.
When I first took my temperature was

100
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.680
a feeling. It was right after
I shower. I was like, Wow,

101
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:21.160
look how high my body'd be.
Like I thought, I like,

102
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:24.879
wait a second, maybe the shower
made it. Huts. I googled it.

103
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:26.319
It's like that. Yeah, that's
a thing, so I had to

104
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.680
wait. Yeah, that reminds me, like, you know, growing up,

105
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.120
you'd see so many cartoons and movies
of like people coming up with ways

106
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:38.959
to fake their sickness and like I'm
gonna make my hands plam me, or

107
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.240
like I'm gonna like find a way
to heat up the thermometer when my parents

108
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:46.199
take my tempt or exactly. And
then one one morning I went to my

109
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.639
mom faking sickness. This is maybe
the first grade. I'm like, oh,

110
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.600
Mom, I'm sick, thinking she's
going to take my temperature. I

111
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:55.399
prepared all this stuff. She was
like, all right, stay home.

112
00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:59.720
She trusted you, and you betrayed
her trust. I know it's not it

113
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:07.279
was a I do clearly you still
think about it. Yeah, the Catholic

114
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.279
guilt kicks in. That's the one, you know, long lasting thing from

115
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.879
private school education. Baby, did
you ever forge your parents' signature on like

116
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:20.160
a permission slip or anything like that. I did not a permission slip.

117
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.000
But we used to have these things
called conduct referrals, which were like,

118
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.439
if you get in trouble, if
you get in trouble. But I only

119
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:33.080
got in trouble because I let my
friend cheat off of my homework. Oh

120
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:37.960
that's the most to get in trouble. Prom king shit right there. I

121
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.639
was a cool guy. I was
tough. The copying homework. Who cares?

122
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:46.519
You're like copy test answers maybe,
but come on, copying homework.

123
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.159
You're only in trouble because he didn't, like how did they even know?

124
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.639
Is it because he missed the same
act ones you did? No? Actively

125
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.200
doing it in class? He was
actively doing it in your name. No,

126
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:03.240
no, no, he actually almost
did do that once. It was

127
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:09.200
like morning prep period or whatever.
And then like we were just sitting there

128
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:13.200
and he asked me for my homework. He was he's my best friend,

129
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.360
so I just gave it to him. And then like the vice principals rolling

130
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.440
around saying like, oh, what's
up, children, Hey, how's it

131
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:22.759
going, And then she sees him
blatantly copying everything right plainly in front of

132
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:30.200
her my office. Yeah yeah,
oh that's what the vice principal is always

133
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.399
the problem. You're the cop.
Yeah right, yeah, the vice principal.

134
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:39.080
Boner and Doug exactly, Yeah,
yeah, did you did you?

135
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:43.200
Did you guys get in trouble in
school? Ever? I got trouble one

136
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:48.279
time because I was a freshman and
it was a Halloween, and as a

137
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.399
freshman high school student, I was
brave enough to wear a Star Trek costume

138
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:54.480
for Halloween, and uh, I
was just I don't know. I was

139
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.480
talking to somebody about Halloween and was
late to my last class and got detention.

140
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:01.240
That was it. It's not very
exciting. Oh that's left I get

141
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.080
any trouble. I was so pathetic
that like, as I got through the

142
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:07.720
tension, everybody and like the class
was shocked and like tried to stop.

143
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.799
I can't give the attention to Bike, He's so quiet and child the time.

144
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:20.480
It was like giving the toution to
a puppy, the real American badass

145
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:22.960
Mike Manati. It was what time
I got in trouble in high school,

146
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:31.080
Jeff, I fucking brought a can't
say faked Oh okay, yeah it was.

147
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.039
I was like one of those air
soft ones, but uh, I

148
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.320
forgot it was in there because of
the ADHD. And then I got in

149
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.159
a fight. Someone ripped my backpack
and it fell out and they told on

150
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.919
me, and then I got suspended
for ninety days because it was not long

151
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:48.039
after ties. Yes, they called
it, and you were a gamer two

152
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:50.840
right, that's what it was really
about. It was gamer oppression, Uh

153
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:56.039
for sure. No. I had
like several Saturday schools in a row because

154
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:01.840
of like being late to school like
weeks some weeks and weeks of having Saturday

155
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:03.639
school. So yeah, and that's
just like one of the times I got

156
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:13.879
in trouble. I got in trouble
a lot, kid. I did a

157
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:16.399
lot of bullshit in school, but
I never got caught. What are you

158
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.960
gonna do about it? You know? Wow? Were you smoking in the

159
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:24.960
girls room? There was a history
class where the teacher would go around and

160
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:28.840
check that we we just had to
take notes for each of the chapter of

161
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.759
the book because you didn't like to
teach it all. And I quickly figured

162
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:35.279
out I could just show him the
same notes if I just like changed the

163
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:41.759
data top so I didn't do homework
for an entire year. Incredible. Yeah,

164
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:46.759
And then like also one time got
in trouble with a friend of mine

165
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:48.919
because he was sitting in front of
me in a different history class and we

166
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.440
wanted to talk shit about someone who
was sitting near us, but we didn't

167
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.600
want any of her to find out
because we didn't want hurt her feelings.

168
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:00.399
We were just mad at her.
So we were like writing English for netically

169
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:01.759
in Hebrew because we both knew how
to do that, and then we got

170
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:09.320
in trouble for writing and symbols gribberish. Yeah. I was like, oh,

171
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.720
thanks God, thank god we took
that precaution. We knew we were

172
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:20.879
not smooth enough to pull this off. Forever lovely lovely. Well, well

173
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:26.919
we'll go from playing innocent childhood games
to adult video games. Oh yay,

174
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.399
controversial here. I want to get
new SEG music. I want to get

175
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.879
new SEG music. Yeah, I
am like almost dead set, though,

176
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:46.320
I'm just gonna try and be justify. Who could stop you? Exactly exactly?

177
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:50.879
I put the license Todini by Dua
Lipa because that's song rocks I listened

178
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.080
to it all the time. Well, one thing I like about podcast is

179
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.480
it goes out on RSS feed,
which is like there's no laws there.

180
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:00.720
So I listened to one podcast where
like their YouTuber, she has like a

181
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:05.440
custom song, but then on for
the pot for the RSS version, they

182
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:11.240
just use electric avenue like where they're
gone through and I'm like, oh yeah,

183
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:15.360
like don't there's no like detecting copyright
on RSS feeds, so we should

184
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:20.080
just do that. Jan Okay,
purpose there we go. Oh God,

185
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:22.559
I like Dua Lipa. I think
all of her songs sound the same,

186
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:26.720
but anytime they come on, I'm
having a good time. Though her songs

187
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:28.279
don't all sound the same, they
do make you have a good time.

188
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:33.399
Houdini is special because it's one of
those things where she's like the hottest woman

189
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:35.679
who's ever lived, and even she
can't say the lord Whodini's sexy? And

190
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:39.679
I think it's funny every time that's
true. It makes me laugh and it

191
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:45.159
makes me dance, and that's all
I ever look for. Uh, just

192
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.919
like sand the sand Land demo makes
Jeff do, makes you last, makes

193
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:50.840
you want to dance real quick.
You said adult video games and I did

194
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:56.080
on steamle yes, last night see
my cousin playing She Will Punish Them,

195
00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:58.159
And I'm like, what is that? And I look, I'm like,

196
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.440
oh, oh, that's just a
horny game. That's just a lady going

197
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.679
around going around spanking people. Basically, all right, well, more power

198
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.279
to you on the nose. It's
all off, okay, yeah, I

199
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:11.399
guess. Yeah, it's on sale
right now with the springs. This is

200
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:16.799
way holier than I was even expecting. Also, I have fun with that

201
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:22.159
everybody, but the logo there's like
Papyrus them, she Will shall I even

202
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:28.120
be googling this. Well, they're
just Steam. Well listen, I'm not

203
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:31.399
trying to get you in trouble Yoh
yeah, I think I think he plays

204
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:35.399
what's that like the Devilish Lady occupy
and he plays a soccubus. I think

205
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:41.120
it's like an action game. They
made nothing for this font huh. No,

206
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:43.799
In fact, I think they got
paid to use it. Actually,

207
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:50.279
yeah, Sandland, that's uh all
right, that's got a demo out now

208
00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:58.039
and your lipstick, yes, you
can customers a lot actually, And this

209
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.799
is the one that's based on the
a Curatory Yama manga. I believe,

210
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:03.679
and I think they're like going pretty
hard on Sandland. Now, of course,

211
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:09.039
you know, rest in peace to
Akira Toriyama. This this game is

212
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:13.720
kind of strange but neat. I
think the best part about it is all

213
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:18.320
of the Akira Toriyama art and the
whole world just feeling like you're living in

214
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:24.120
one of his worlds. But you
play as this like little sand demon guy.

215
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:26.960
He's got some friends. And the
demo shows you a section of the

216
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:30.639
game where you're able to wander around
this open part of the desert, and

217
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:33.399
you have three different vehicles. One
is a big tank with a lot of

218
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:35.879
heavy weaponry, another one is like
a motorcycle, and a third one is

219
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.840
a mech, and they seem to
serve different functions of like getting you around

220
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:45.000
faster, being like relatively survivable,
or like with the mech, it's like

221
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:46.480
if you're in closer, there's a
lot of people you got to fight.

222
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.799
This thing can can do pretty pretty
decent at that, but it's very slow

223
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:54.360
if you're trying to actually traverse the
desert, so you're supposed to swap between

224
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.279
these things. I just the demo
didn't show me a lot about like what

225
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:00.679
you're going to be doing in this
game. At least I'm assuming there's more

226
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:03.919
more to it, because what it
is is you go out in the world

227
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:07.519
and you fight random encounters and maybe
you're finding a cave that might have some

228
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:10.240
stuff in it. I get the
idea that there's gonna be some crafting.

229
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.679
Didn't mess around with any of that
in the demos so far. It was

230
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:18.279
really just kind of going to these
enclaves fighting either like human humanoid enemies or

231
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:23.080
fighting giant desert creatures, or just
like random dinosaurs running nut or whatever,

232
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:27.120
like in a curatory Ama manga.
But it at the very least it looks

233
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:30.919
really pretty. The action does work
to the point where it's like I am

234
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:34.039
enjoying myself when I'm doing that.
I'm just like, in this demo,

235
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:37.240
was confused about what should be pulling
me through, like what is my motivation

236
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:41.559
here, and that the lack of
that kind of made it feel like I'm

237
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.759
okay for now. You know.
I played this thing for forty five minutes

238
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.000
and was like, ah, I'm
I don't I would need to know more

239
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.440
about what this game actually is beyond
this to care about it once the game

240
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:56.759
actually comes out, So little disappointed
by it, but also I'm hoping that,

241
00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:00.559
you know, the final version has
a lot more to it. Yeah,

242
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.240
that sounds a lot like the demo
that I checked out at last year's

243
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:07.440
Summer Game Fest. I wouldn't be
surprised if it's kind of based on what

244
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:10.599
you played there. Yeah, sure, Yeah, And in that demo,

245
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.920
I think the highlight for that was
being in the vehicles controlling stuff, because

246
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:18.960
it did feel at least in this
early stage, and you know, it's

247
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.920
a demo, so things felt very
slight in terms of like direction of like,

248
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:25.880
Okay, I guess I'm just gonna
head to that village now on my

249
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.200
map because that's what I'm being told
to do. But the vehicle stuff and

250
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:37.319
the vehicle design really really neat.
I feel like a Curratriama has a knack

251
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:45.319
for designing really cool retro futuristic bubbly
vehicles. Yeah, of half domes on

252
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:49.279
everything, half domes like little vehicles
too, so like the people are kind

253
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:52.200
of like bursting out of them as
they're riding and riding in them. That

254
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:56.039
happens here as well. It's all
that stuff is definitely the highlight I enjoyed.

255
00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:02.319
I enjoyed that aspect of it.
I think also getting to customize your

256
00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:06.119
like your vehicles and adding like different
weaponry on there. They kind of show

257
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:07.359
that off early in the demo,
like, hey, we've given you some

258
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:11.160
stuff. Change up the guns if
you want, and that stuff changes up

259
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:14.680
the cosmetic look of the vehicle as
well. So you put a big gun

260
00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:17.640
on there, and now you have
this huge barrel hanging off the tank that

261
00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:22.440
looks absurd, but in the best
way possible. So that stuff is neat.

262
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:26.319
I just I just don't know what
else there is to it. Yeah,

263
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:30.680
I wonder if if you can wind
up just sticking with one of those

264
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:33.640
vehicles or they're going to kind of
like force you into situations where you have

265
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:37.279
to switch between a motorcycle, a
mac or like the tank. Yeah you

266
00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:38.640
could. I think you can have
your favorite and use it most of the

267
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:44.559
time. The motorcycle, so each
thing has like a variety of weapons on

268
00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:48.319
it. So the motorcycle has machine
guns that always fire forward, which is

269
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:53.680
a little troublesome because the way the
vehicle controls is you are pressing forward to

270
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:57.119
go forward on the analog stick.
You're not like holding down right trigger for

271
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:00.200
gas or something like that, And
then that makes it a little bit awkward

272
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.400
to then like maneuver left and right. It's not the worst. You can

273
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:07.519
also like toggle on gas and like
have it just go forward by itself and

274
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:11.240
then adjust it. That helps a
little bit. But like maneuvering the motorcycle,

275
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:11.880
so the enemies are right in front
of you, well, that's the

276
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:15.440
fast vehicle. So once I have
that, I shoot them a little bit,

277
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.759
and then I'm already flying past them. So I was like, Okay,

278
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:22.400
I'm gonna get off the motorcycle,
get back on the ground, throw

279
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:25.720
out the capsule. It's like all
the vehicles are in capsules. Kiritoriyama again

280
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:27.359
that stuff. I like, you
throw it on the capsule for the tank

281
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:30.279
or the mech, hop in those, and then you're back in the action

282
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:36.559
pretty quickly. I didn't find a
way to like hot swap in battle where

283
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:38.200
it was like, oh, okay, I'm in the motorcycle. Can I

284
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:41.880
just quickly shift into the mech.
It's like, no, you have to

285
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:44.359
get off, throw it down the
capsule, then get in there, at

286
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:47.880
least as far as I could tell, which is cumbersome as well. But

287
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:51.119
I also think it makes it feel
like you're living in the world and this

288
00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:52.839
is the way the world functions,
and like you have to have these capsules

289
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.839
and throw them down. I also
like that if you hop out of a

290
00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:59.880
vehicle and you run away, you
don't really have to come back to the

291
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:02.319
but it's not going to be waiting
for you there. It just zaps back

292
00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:03.160
into your capsules, and then when
you come back to the world, you

293
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.440
just throw them back down and hop
back into them. I think it's like

294
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:11.279
got a lot of good energy to
it. It's got a good look.

295
00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:15.559
Yeah, and that's why I was
curious about it. That's why I gave

296
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:19.359
the demo a chance. And I
think that this demo feels very cordoned off.

297
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:23.000
It feels very much like just we
just want to get you into the

298
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:27.759
action so you can see what that
feels like. And so my assumption is

299
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:30.880
there probably is more to it.
They just didn't know how to present it

300
00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:34.880
in this in this demo, so
they didn't do that. And yeah,

301
00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:38.079
that's my hope at least at this
point. Yeah, because I imagine like

302
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:42.480
trying to do a vertical slice of
something that may be an open world game

303
00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:47.960
is incredibly challenging. Also, man, I really love the look of everything

304
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:51.160
in San land. I just yeah, I hope the game plays enough to

305
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:55.839
kind of like push me over to
enjoying playing the game. I've also been

306
00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:59.359
launched just I did watch like fifteen
episodes of Dragon ball z Kai over the

307
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:03.039
weekend with the kid. So we're
in in a curatory. I'm a mood

308
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:06.680
right now. And see the new
movie. I know not yet, but

309
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:10.720
I intend to. I intend to. Everyone seems to love it an absolute

310
00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:18.119
blast. Which movie was it?
I don't remember, Yeah, oh yeah,

311
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:22.160
because you know, you know why
that's a good movie. It's because

312
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:29.160
it's Gohan and his father. I've
also been playing a demo Jeff Grubb and

313
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:33.799
Company. I've been playing the pepper
Grinder demo. Let me tell y'all,

314
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.799
I love hammers and games. Something
I love more than games and big hammers

315
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:44.160
big drills. Love a big drill. Uh here, what you're doing is

316
00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:48.839
you're a little character and you got
a drill and jump hop and bop around.

317
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:52.440
Uh. Use the one of the
triggers to fire up the drill.

318
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:56.160
Get that going, and you can
use that as a melee weapon of sorts.

319
00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:02.440
Hollow Penny And the neat part about
the game is you know they'll you'll

320
00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:06.519
see some destructible parts of the environment
that are rocks, get some gems through

321
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:11.279
there. But where the game starts
to really fudge around with a platforming element

322
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:14.960
is as soon as you take your
drill to sand, it kind of suddenly

323
00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:18.920
starts to propel you forward in whatever
direction you're pointing the drill. So you

324
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:22.119
take the left analog stick and you're
just controlling a movement around. But as

325
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:26.680
soon as you pop out of the
surface of the sand, you start free

326
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:32.119
willing that bitch and you do,
like a dolphin or a killer whale pop

327
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:34.640
out of it. That gives you
a little bit of momentum. And in

328
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:38.319
the early stages here they're you know, a lot of it's teaching you the

329
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:44.559
mechanics, but you can quickly see
how complicated the game is going to get,

330
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:48.839
because early on they have you dive
down into the sand, make an

331
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:55.960
arc, hit an enemy to get
a little bit more momentum to hit another

332
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.160
patch of sand right above you,
and from there do a quick pivot to

333
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:03.799
get uh, propel yourself to the
right side of the stage to get to

334
00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:11.119
a higher ledge. It's really neat
and I'm really excited. I think this

335
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:14.480
is one of my favorite genres of
like two D platformers of just like weird

336
00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:18.880
movement mobile abilities to like get you
through something. And I'm gonna tell you

337
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:22.799
all the hot take here. I
think I'm tired of grappling hooks. Wow

338
00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:26.319
you're over it? Huh Okay,
yeah, yeah, I felt brave.

339
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:30.599
I felt brave telling you all this. All right, this is a suicide

340
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:36.599
squad that finally did it to you. No, I actually like the grappling

341
00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:40.359
hook in that game. Okay,
it was like, what's hardly grappling onto

342
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:45.160
a little robot? All right?
But I'm interested to see where the game

343
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:49.000
is gonna go and how complicated it's
gonna get, because I think after playing

344
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:52.440
a little bit more of Prince of
Persia The Lost Crown, I think my

345
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:57.799
favorite parts of that game are like
the challenging puzzle platforming segments rather than some

346
00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:00.279
of the combat. And I'm not
saying comets bat or anything. It's great

347
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:03.839
in that game, some of the
best, but like the that team really

348
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:10.319
really nailed some of those like corned
off, tight timing platforming segments that I

349
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:14.039
think pepper Grinder is going to be
able to do really really well as well.

350
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:18.559
And yeah, just big drills fucking
rock. It's great. Yeah,

351
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:21.759
I have this demo. I haven't
had a chance to check it out yet

352
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:26.279
though, but I'm a huge fan
of Drill Dozer. Drill Dozer was awesome

353
00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:30.559
on Game Boy Advance, and it's
this is clearly inspired by that, and

354
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:34.759
everyone seems to who everyone's played it
seems to really like it. And you're

355
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:37.440
right, I think just looking at
it, you could tell they are going

356
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:42.680
to take this motion, this look, emotion mechanic and just throw you in

357
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:45.119
a bunch of different scenarios where,
if you are able to, you could

358
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:49.240
string them together in such a way
that you're basically never stopping doing cool momentum

359
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:52.799
addition tricks until the end of a
level. And I love that idea.

360
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:57.640
But I mean, since like Tony
Hawks, stringing together combos to feel cool

361
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:00.960
has been like one of my main
so like in a game, this seems

362
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:03.480
like it's gonna nail that. So
yeah, I'm excited about this. This

363
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:08.960
definitely feels like there will be several
levels where if you can get the timing

364
00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:11.680
right, you will never touch the
ground other than like the beginning and the

365
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:15.599
ending segment. I love that,
and I'm curious to see how they're gonna

366
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:19.960
handle boss encounters, because so far
all the enemies you come across are just

367
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:23.000
like little dudes or like a little
robusts that go off in one hit,

368
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:27.839
or one of the early enemies you
come across are like these very thick,

369
00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:33.839
lady bug like bugs where you're you
can only hit them on the underside of

370
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:37.480
them because the top side is shielded. I don't know why I thought this

371
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:41.160
was going to be a like a
strict puzzle game. I think I was

372
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:45.359
thinking more of mister Driller and yo, oh sure, mister Driller. That

373
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:51.000
guy looks so sick. Got a
look, you know, Mister Driller is

374
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:59.400
supposed to be like the son or
grandson of the character from the classic Namco

375
00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:02.839
are games that I'm definitely not blinking
on right now, the one with the

376
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:07.920
drill and that's wait, dig Doug
dig Doug, Yes, Tick Doug,

377
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:11.559
thank you, Dick Doug. Yeah, he's related to the Dick Doug guy.

378
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:17.720
Okay, well basically the same games, Janney really close. Oh man,

379
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:21.640
imagine how messed up that dude being
soul caliber? Huh dig dig Dug

380
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:26.759
guy or mister Driller, both of
them? Does does dig Doug guy have

381
00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:30.720
a name. Uh, he must
be must be mister Driller the first I

382
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:36.759
guess tyz O Horri originally known as
dig Doug. He should be a big

383
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:40.839
dog but spelled Doug. He's known
as dig Doug, the Dick Doug lore.

384
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:47.119
The family tree, we got to
chart it out. Uh, this

385
00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:49.759
is like third time in two weeks
we've talked about family trees. We got

386
00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:53.480
to do something with family trees.
Tiz O Horry, originally known as dig

387
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:56.200
Doug, is the main protagonist of
the Dig Doug series and one of the

388
00:26:56.279 --> 00:27:00.559
major characters in the Mister Driller series, being the founder of the Star Trigone

389
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:04.279
team as well as a member of
the United Galaxy Space Force. Yeah,

390
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:07.880
there's a family here. We got
to look at space for What are we

391
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:11.960
talking about the ugs? What do
you mean? Is he dig dugging in

392
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:15.480
like space? I think he's dig
dugging in space, Homie, Yeah,

393
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:19.720
tea dig dog? Is he involved? A gradius two? Like? What

394
00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:23.839
are we talking about that? If
we learn nothing from James Cameron's it's easier

395
00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:34.240
to send drillers into space than spend
spacers into drills. So Michael James Cameron

396
00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:42.119
of Directors Well, going from space
and uh, the Ground to the Sea,

397
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:48.440
Bailey. You have been playing Dredge. Yeah, finally I finally started

398
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:52.359
playing Dredge. My Twitch community made
me do it yesterday and I was like,

399
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:53.599
oh, yeah, it's a fishing
game. I like fishing, So

400
00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:57.920
there we go. Although there is
demo hour right now from Steam Nextfest normal

401
00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:03.240
fishing that looks really good that I'm
like very excited for. That has sort

402
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:07.359
of a spooky diss to it that
Dredge has to it that I wasn't expecting

403
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:12.039
because I, you know, just
always now it feels like Saxist is always

404
00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:15.359
on. There's just like a lot
of cool stuff came out, and I'm

405
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:18.680
really looking forward to normal fishing from
that one. But also I've been playing

406
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:22.000
Dredge and I was so used to
Dave the Diver and just being like,

407
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:26.119
ah, fishing is pleasant and chill, and now it isn't anymore. It's

408
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:30.119
not you're not gathering these things for
your charming little sushi restaurant. You're just

409
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:33.559
trying not to get eaten by an
enormous anglerfish or whatever. The fuck.

410
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:37.240
Oh my god, it's so stressful. Alan Wick two prepared me for this.

411
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:41.960
Actually, it's very it's very Eldritch
horror. Uh, and it's very

412
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:49.200
British in it. I didn't know
why Lucy liked it so much. She

413
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:56.440
felt, yeah, but yes,
oh it's so fun. It's so fun.

414
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:57.079
They're like, oh, yeah,
go out on the water, but

415
00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:02.440
don't stay out at night for reasons
we won't tell you. And then you

416
00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:06.279
find out and you're like, oh, no, understood. I need to

417
00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:10.359
upgrade my engines. Oh my god, it's great. I've only played a

418
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:15.440
little of it so far because I've
mostly just been playing Bulatro and yeah scullm

419
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:19.079
Bones. But uh, but it's
been really liking it. It's been great.

420
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:22.079
If you haven't picked up Dredge yet, like, you should pick up

421
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:25.480
Dredge. It's good. Yeah I
did. I put it off and then

422
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:26.519
I got to the point where it's
like, I'm not gonna have time for

423
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:29.440
this for game of the year.
And then you get past the game of

424
00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:30.839
the year, it's like, well, I don't have to play old games

425
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:33.039
anymore. It's time for new games. I think I should go back to

426
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:37.200
Dredge though. Yeah. My January
was just devoted to all the indie games

427
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:41.200
that I like missed that I've been
meeting to play, like I finally got

428
00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:44.400
around to Slay the Princess and Chance
of Sinar and like all these other ones

429
00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:48.480
that I really enjoyed. That,
of course I enjoyed because I love puzzle

430
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:51.759
games and I love visual novels,
and I love weird shit like that,

431
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:56.640
and like, this is just another
thing that's like a weird shit thing that

432
00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:00.720
I should have started ages ago and
just didn't because I think in January,

433
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:04.119
at the end of December and early
January, it just got completely consumed by

434
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:07.119
David Diver. I was just obsessed
with that gameplay loop. And now I've

435
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:14.160
got Bilatro in that slot in my
heart. So I really want to play

436
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:17.400
like a fishing game seriously again.
And I'm all for fishing matchups. They

437
00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:19.759
haven't they just haven't really matched them
up with something that speaks to me.

438
00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:25.400
And now hear me out on this, please please no, maybe maybe maybe

439
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:29.240
we give Big the Cat like a
standalone game, because look, I know

440
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:33.160
it's Janki's look at your one,
but three D platformer meets fishing game.

441
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:37.160
There's something there. Oh yeah,
yeah, I still I still, like,

442
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:41.799
in my heart want a fishing RPG
like to come back in a big

443
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:45.160
way. Sure, but listen,
I'll take that kind of mashup to platform

444
00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:47.680
and big. The cat deserves its
own game. You're right. So in

445
00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:51.799
that newest Mario Golf, I didn't
quite enjoy it. But the parts I

446
00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:56.039
did enjoy is how the scramble when
you're playing a multiplayer like running into where

447
00:30:56.039 --> 00:31:00.079
your ball landed to continue going on. That's fun. To to the whole

448
00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:03.960
the tea I don't know, golf, Yeah, to the lie, to

449
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:10.039
the lie sure, to the golf
hole lies. Yeah. And I could

450
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:12.160
see that working well in a fishing
game of sorts of like, all right,

451
00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:15.319
you catch a fish here, you
gotta dash all the way over to

452
00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:19.200
the other side of the fishing fishing
Mario fishing, let's do that, get

453
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:23.359
some cheap cheeps. That's actually good. They should do that, shocking we

454
00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:30.799
haven't, Yeah, dougs cut the
check. Uh well, Bailey, let's

455
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:33.759
stick to the seven seas here,
because I don't know if you want to

456
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:36.519
talk about it length at all.
I don't think any of us have played

457
00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:37.880
this yet. What I'm going to
be doing for the rest of the day,

458
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:48.200
so sculling bones of the week.
It's so fu Nobody even wants to

459
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:51.599
talk about this game. It's not
with Suicide Squad where people wanted to dunk

460
00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:56.839
on it. Everybody's just kind of
like, that's unfortunate. That's enough,

461
00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:05.279
sick family member. Yeah, it's
just uh, it's a game. I

462
00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:08.559
ask a quadruple It's a quadruple,
our first quadruple A title, Like,

463
00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:13.200
how could I how could I not
write it honest game trailer about it?

464
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:15.240
But God, I always forget.
I've got to play the game first in

465
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:20.240
order to do that, and I
always set myself up for misery as a

466
00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:22.519
result. And I'm just like,
I'm just trying to put one on the

467
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:24.200
on the schedule for me. But
ever since we moved to every other week,

468
00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:28.400
I've like got to prioritize the bad
games. So I'm like, great,

469
00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:30.680
this is just my life now.
It's just bad game after bad game.

470
00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:36.759
The last one I did was Suicide
Squad. That games. That game's

471
00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:39.000
good, though. Do you want
to do? You want to do?

472
00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:43.000
You want to try and play?
Because Steam denied my refund request, so

473
00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:47.119
kind of I'm kind of locked in
now, Bailey, what do you do

474
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:54.680
in that game? I don't know
what you do? Nothing? All right,

475
00:32:54.799 --> 00:33:04.599
let's go. You're just a pirate
and you're just on the ocean and

476
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:08.480
there's so many other pirates. Well
that you just said right, there was

477
00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:16.359
a hiku. It was beautiful.
It's just sometimes you try to blow up

478
00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:21.319
a building, sometimes the building blows
you up first. You can have a

479
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:24.160
lemur on your boat. That's cool. If your boat gets blown up,

480
00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:28.880
it's kind of existentially devastating because of
the lemur. But then the lemur comes

481
00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:32.440
back. Okay, you're fine,
but it's like a little bit on fire

482
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:37.440
and you're like, okay, if
I receipt, there's there's resurrecting lemurs.

483
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:40.640
There's terrorism. Okay, this sounds
sounds like a good game. I don't

484
00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:45.440
know. Yeah, there's like a
quest you can do, like the pirate

485
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:51.200
like guy mercenary guy sends you off
on little missions and you go and do

486
00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:52.599
them and then you come back like
do you like me yet? And he's

487
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:57.279
like are you living? Liller?
Liller, I can't even do it,

488
00:33:57.720 --> 00:34:01.640
Liveredstard was what I was trying to
say. But this game has killed me.

489
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:07.279
It's killed me hard. Yeah,
Jam was making the life out of

490
00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:08.320
you. Just talking about Jam was
like, do you want to be on

491
00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:12.519
the bomb? Customer? I was
like anything to avoid focusing on skull and

492
00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:16.760
bones for a couple of hours.
It's anything. It's incredible that they they

493
00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:21.559
had the right idea, like people
like Assassin's Creed for Black Flag, we

494
00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:24.039
should just do more of that,
like yeah, you should make a spin

495
00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:28.960
off open world pirate game. And
then they're like, yeah, but it's

496
00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:31.880
gotta be a multiplayer, always online, live service thing, and then that

497
00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:36.760
cost them like five extra years of
development because they couldn't figure it out.

498
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:39.800
I mean, it just comes out
of bombs. The big problem was apparently

499
00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:44.079
that they were like, this is
going to be primarily about sailing the ships,

500
00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:45.960
and there's not going to be like
the running around Assassin's Creed part of

501
00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:49.039
it. And then they would ever
tend me to talk about it. Everybody

502
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:51.400
be like, oh, I can't
wait to play this thing that's exactly like

503
00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:54.280
Black Flag, and you'd be like, oh boy. And so they went

504
00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:57.840
back and like make it more like
an Assassin's creen, make it more like

505
00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:00.559
Assassin's screen, and that cost them
also a bunch more years. So just

506
00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:06.599
real smart stuff over there, no
combat, just ship combat. You can

507
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:09.079
get you can get got by a
shark pretty early in, which is so

508
00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:13.719
fair you're in the shark's house.
That's on you, right, You shouldn't

509
00:35:13.719 --> 00:35:15.920
be there. You shouldn't be there. Uh yeah. The thing that's cool

510
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:20.519
about pirates is that there were just
so many of them and they were all

511
00:35:20.599 --> 00:35:24.079
operating at exactly the same time and
running into each other. That's when mean

512
00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:32.239
pirates cool, not any other element
of their lifestyle or persona rum. Yeah,

513
00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:38.360
bra gra, I mean literally already
have an online live service pirate game

514
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:42.840
that is good. That's a pretty
small market for how many of these we

515
00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:46.519
can support. Yeah, yeah,
you just it really has to be so

516
00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:51.360
much better than this if you're gonna
pull this ship off, and it just

517
00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:54.280
isn't. It just isn't. It's
all right? Yep. I feel like

518
00:35:54.320 --> 00:36:00.840
I'm actively making Bailey more sad by. No. Oh, we're not gonna

519
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:02.960
talk about Bilatro played it without me, you know, I can't even talk

520
00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:07.239
about it on my stupid little show. We're not. We're gonna talk about

521
00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:10.840
a different casino game before we talk
about Bilotro. And that other casino game

522
00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:16.519
is a game that Jeff Grub has
a played on me. Oh and I

523
00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:21.719
thought I thought at this point Jeff
Grub and I are friends. He worked

524
00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:24.400
very well together. He would never
try and hurt me. And then this

525
00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:30.159
fucker tweets me and says, hey, we gotta we got to investigate this

526
00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:36.360
new thing and it is called Bingle
Bingle, and it is a It is

527
00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:40.719
another casino roguelike game, but instead
of poker or blackjack. Perhaps you are

528
00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:45.039
spinning that. Oh I didn't invest
the game. I just went to I

529
00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:49.920
went to the Steam page and it
starts playing the video and the sound of

530
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:55.719
the ball going around the thing is
immediately setting off like every dopamine receptor in

531
00:36:55.800 --> 00:37:00.079
my brain. I'm gonna I'm downloading
this immediately. Is that an early access?

532
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:05.960
It is a similar format where you
know you have a chip value you're

533
00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:09.320
supposed to match, just like in
Bilattro or Sortain other roguelikes, and you

534
00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:15.199
are betting on a proper roulette wheel. And that's how it starts. Right,

535
00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:17.000
You're like, Okay, I'm gonna
bet on red, I'm gonna bet

536
00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:21.480
on black. If I'm feeling a
little spicy, maybe I'll pick a specific

537
00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:27.079
number and then you can increase your
bets. Am. How they make it

538
00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:32.800
a roguelike is that you only have
five tokens. Five tokens for a spin

539
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:38.320
each time to meet your designated chip
value. They also have Boston Counters where

540
00:37:38.360 --> 00:37:43.000
it gets a little nasty and spicy
and a little freaky deky, y'all is.

541
00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:46.440
After each round you get to visit
a shop and in that shop you

542
00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:51.800
can either upgrade your ball, and
maybe upgrading your ball is like, all

543
00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:55.400
right, well, I'm going to
target a set of five of the pockets,

544
00:37:55.920 --> 00:37:59.719
and then my ball will always go
in one of those five pockets.

545
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:04.599
So you can clearly bet on red
if you're aiming for that range or a

546
00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:07.360
specific number. But say it like, you know what those pockets, the

547
00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:10.960
numbers, the slots you fall into. Uh, maybe I'm going to buy

548
00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:15.760
just like five red pieces and just
stick them all together, so my whole

549
00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:22.079
roulette wheel is half red. Okay? Oh man, Oh I thought Mike,

550
00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:24.960
and I was going to say something. He's just confident, Okay,

551
00:38:27.280 --> 00:38:30.920
just excusing that cough button effectively,
so effectively that you thought I had something

552
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:34.039
to say. Continue, Jane,
you're killing it. Thank you. So

553
00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:37.239
you can upgrade your balls, and
then from there, with each ball you

554
00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:43.079
can upgrade that to uh increase the
chip value that it's earning. So say

555
00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:50.159
you have a ball that targets a
certain range of pockets, you bet heavy

556
00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:53.960
on red, and then it's you've
upgraded that ball in such a way that

557
00:38:54.280 --> 00:39:00.719
it gets like times or yeah,
times ten each time it's suc Fley lands

558
00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:06.360
on a proper bet, so you
are winning around in one spin. At

559
00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:09.320
first, I thought it felt pretty
bare bones, but as you start getting

560
00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:14.079
through, like the tutorial stages and
like the early bits of it, you

561
00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:20.000
are unlocking more and more different things
to affect your wheel and your spinning in.

562
00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:23.679
Like Grub said that trailer hooks you
in really well because it gets the

563
00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:29.639
clickty clackity of the ball hitting the
wheel. I'm looking at to saying that

564
00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:32.880
it really is just Bilacho but roulette, and yeah, that makes sense.

565
00:39:34.079 --> 00:39:40.440
Yeah, there's also a Majong roguelike
casino, making it not that I will

566
00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:45.679
play Bengal Bengal. It looks incredible, but I am very interested in any

567
00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:50.639
any game that has some aspect of
skill to it, and Roulette simply doesn't.

568
00:39:50.920 --> 00:39:53.880
So it's never been my game in
casinos, although the concept of upgrading

569
00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:58.880
your balls is very funny to me, so yeah, upgrade. I highlighted

570
00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:01.199
that it's the name for the podcast
Real Slam Duck on that one. Yeah,

571
00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:07.039
Bailey, would you ever be interested
in perhaps do you know how to

572
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:12.320
play Majong? I? Okay,
I learned how to play it from the

573
00:40:12.719 --> 00:40:16.320
Mulan PC game that came out right
around the time Mulan did, and I

574
00:40:16.440 --> 00:40:20.480
haven't played it since, but my
mom is getting very good at it in

575
00:40:20.559 --> 00:40:24.599
her retirement community. So I imagine
shaking okay, fantastic. Yeah. I

576
00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:30.400
try to learn ma ins fan Fantasy
fourteen and it did not take I was

577
00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:32.320
I was going to say, maybe
it's time to resurrect an old giant bomb

578
00:40:32.400 --> 00:40:37.159
feature, one near and dear to
my heart called Mahjong Mornings where we learn

579
00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:39.079
how to play Majong. I would
have learned to play Majong. That sounds

580
00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:44.280
great. I guarantee you that the
one in the PC game for that I

581
00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:46.039
played when I was eight years old
was not authentic. So let's go.

582
00:40:46.880 --> 00:40:53.119
There is a gotcha style Majong with
uh hot anime, people of every variety,

583
00:40:53.760 --> 00:40:58.920
and man, they have fun animals
in it. This is god.

584
00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:04.679
I so a bad outcome in Majong, if I recall correctly, is called

585
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:10.639
ron r o n You never you
never want to meet Ron exactly and Ben

586
00:41:10.719 --> 00:41:15.239
Pack, I miss you so much. We we wanted to call it this

587
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:22.719
is the Ron on our successful Majong
Majong Conquest. Half of half of that

588
00:41:22.840 --> 00:41:25.760
feature was us just looking at the
Olive Garden menu for a while, though,

589
00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:30.719
So I don't know if we should
still do that forever. They got

590
00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:37.199
breadsticks? Yeah, yeah, all
right, Bailey, I see you playing

591
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:40.000
this on Twitch virtually every single day. I played drug yesterday. I wanted

592
00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:45.119
on the record. Okay, well
we also played this last We played this

593
00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:51.039
last week on UPF without Bailey.
When you say we make it, make

594
00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:53.880
sure not, Bailey. I was
busy talking to my new best friend,

595
00:41:54.079 --> 00:42:00.639
so I couldn't join anyway. It's
fine, it's cool. He stole one

596
00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:02.360
of my jokes, and I found
out immediately because everyone came to my stream

597
00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:07.679
to tattle to me about it.
Immediately attributed it to you. I immediately,

598
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:09.159
to be fair, he gave credit. I'm like, I'm sure he

599
00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:16.119
fucking did. So it still got
its hooks in you, Baily. Yeah,

600
00:42:16.280 --> 00:42:19.760
I just did it. I just
did the golds. I finished the

601
00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:23.079
gold steak on the the black and
red checker deck. Yeah, and now

602
00:42:23.079 --> 00:42:28.719
I'm trying to get through the challenge
runs and I'm trying to just unlock every

603
00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:31.880
joker. Yeah, I think I've
decided to start doing that too. I

604
00:42:32.159 --> 00:42:37.280
So I after that UPF I was
like, oh yeah, Like I thought

605
00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:38.480
I was playing this a lot,
and then seen like how much more Mike

606
00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:42.239
and Dan had unlocked. I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna keep playing.

607
00:42:42.239 --> 00:42:45.000
And I got I probably got like
six wins over the weekend when I was

608
00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:47.440
playing, and that was like,
you know, triple the number of wins

609
00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:52.599
I had before that. So starting, I got through basically all the basic

610
00:42:52.679 --> 00:42:55.280
decks because there are certain points like
no, you need to do harder difficulties,

611
00:42:55.320 --> 00:42:59.199
harder stakes to unlock some of these
decks. So I've gotten to win

612
00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:01.960
with all of the deck before that
point, and now I'm starting. I

613
00:43:02.079 --> 00:43:05.840
just started moving up to the next
stakes. So whatever's after White, I

614
00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:09.079
can't remember what it is, but
I think I got pretty close to win

615
00:43:09.119 --> 00:43:10.800
there. But I don't think I
have a win on any of those more

616
00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:15.280
difficult stakes yet, but uh,
it is it. Yeah, It's it's

617
00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:16.960
wild to see. Like at a
certain point, I'm like, ah,

618
00:43:17.039 --> 00:43:20.159
this a lot of this is like
luck, and I'm like, no,

619
00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:23.679
I just wasn't optimizing my choices.
And now it's like every run is pretty

620
00:43:23.760 --> 00:43:28.480
close or a win. So that's
that's been nice to see, like,

621
00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:30.440
oh, there's a huge change in
how I'm playing. Yeah, it's it's

622
00:43:30.599 --> 00:43:34.840
it's so good once you because I
actually had like kind of a hard time

623
00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:37.719
connecting with it at first because I
was still trying to play like as poker,

624
00:43:37.159 --> 00:43:43.320
And once my brain sort of understood
that it's more roguelike than it is

625
00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:49.360
poker, I immediately took off on
it. And I found that once you

626
00:43:49.519 --> 00:43:52.599
feed the Orange Steak, you unlock
the erratic deck, which makes it a

627
00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:57.440
lot easier to do like specific like
unlocking joker runs because you'll start a deck

628
00:43:57.480 --> 00:44:00.599
that has just like nine queens in
it to begin with, and it's just

629
00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:04.400
randomized every time, and it's so
cool. The plasma deck is killer.

630
00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:07.320
You have to do math on that
one, which is crazy, but it

631
00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:12.239
looks so sick. How does plasma
deck work? Plasma deck takes an average

632
00:44:12.440 --> 00:44:16.159
of your chips and your multiplier and
it averages them every time. I just

633
00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:20.760
unlocked that one, so I didn't
really understand what that meant, and now

634
00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:22.400
I'm scared. It's a little bit
math, but like you know how when

635
00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:25.480
one of your hands is bigger than
the blind that you're going for, it

636
00:44:25.559 --> 00:44:30.880
does like the fire thing. Have
you guys ever experienced that on the I

637
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:34.679
don't know with you guys on the
plasma deck. On the plasma deck,

638
00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:38.280
the fire is like white and purply
like plasma color. Like it's very frigetting

639
00:44:38.280 --> 00:44:44.199
and it's so cool. Yeah,
I've definitely still been enjoying Bilacho a good

640
00:44:44.239 --> 00:44:46.079
amount. I am might beginning to
see the end of the tunnel for me,

641
00:44:46.280 --> 00:44:50.760
Like I just unlocked that plasma deck. Once I at least beat one

642
00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:52.280
of the decks, which will of
course be the checker deck with like all

643
00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:57.199
the like different colored stacks, and
then like right, and yeah, it's

644
00:44:57.280 --> 00:45:00.320
kind of the It's it's definitely like
the best deck for all of that bullshit,

645
00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:01.719
because you know, you can at
least probably make a flesh build.

646
00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:06.840
But once I get everything on that
and I unlock all the other decks and

647
00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:09.239
get one win with every deck,
I'll probably be good at that point.

648
00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:14.119
But we'll see. I'm just scared
for when this comes out on mobile.

649
00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:16.599
I was just gonna say, like
I just got that that email with the

650
00:45:16.679 --> 00:45:20.559
confirmation from the developer that that was
happening, I was like, well,

651
00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:24.000
there goes my entire life. All
right, great, right now? The

652
00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:28.920
only thing saving me is that it
lives in my PlayStation. You just have

653
00:45:29.000 --> 00:45:31.039
to develop in a version to like
all mobile gaming like I do, and

654
00:45:31.079 --> 00:45:35.760
you'll be simply can't do that.
I still play Slay the Spire every single

655
00:45:35.880 --> 00:45:38.159
day before I go to bed.
I thought that was on sale. I

656
00:45:38.280 --> 00:45:45.760
never actually played Slay This really good. It's really good, Bailey. Did

657
00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:49.639
you ever check out I think it's
called Monster Train. People you recommending it

658
00:45:49.719 --> 00:45:52.440
to me, and I want to, but I am so afraid of another

659
00:45:53.480 --> 00:46:00.440
rogue like card like game. I
only have so much room in my life.

660
00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:01.920
You know I've already I'm already,
I've already got two addictions. I'm

661
00:46:01.960 --> 00:46:07.480
juggling. It's hard. I I
think I wound up fondly remembering Monster Train

662
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:10.519
more than Slay the Spire because I
was gonna ask should I play one or

663
00:46:10.519 --> 00:46:15.960
the other because I've heard good things
about both. I'd probably suggest for you

664
00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:20.039
grub Slay the Spire just because it's
more straightforward, and then, like Monster

665
00:46:20.119 --> 00:46:22.599
Training, you eventually wind up having
to juggle like three different lanes. Oh

666
00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:28.199
you know can ok, Yeah,
there are tiers of your train, so

667
00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:32.880
like a bottom level, mid level, top level, just like Mike Minatti

668
00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:39.079
is juggling these fools juggling records left
and right, number nine, number seven,

669
00:46:39.480 --> 00:46:43.960
number six on the charts, Like
I do, I do want to

670
00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:49.760
hear more about your continued time in
Mortal Kombat mythologies sub zero. It's it's

671
00:46:49.880 --> 00:46:52.159
fun now because it is actually feeling
like speed running, right, Like at

672
00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:55.039
first, just to get on the
board, I just had to beat the

673
00:46:55.119 --> 00:46:59.800
game in one sitting and like try
to do that better. But then slowly

674
00:46:59.800 --> 00:47:02.719
you like I'm watching all these other
speed runs. The number one record holder,

675
00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:07.599
Segot's been helping a lot. He
has to verify my runs and on

676
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:10.440
YouTube he actually like leaves these comments
with like detailed notes and tips for me,

677
00:47:10.559 --> 00:47:16.280
which is very nice. And that's
so much Sigott. Right. So

678
00:47:16.360 --> 00:47:20.559
like my last run that I submitted, I felt really good to me that

679
00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:24.760
was number six in the world,
and uh, with some optimization and just

680
00:47:24.800 --> 00:47:29.880
pulls himself off better and a bit
more confidence. There's still some levels where

681
00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:34.039
I'm like, wait, what's what's
next, or things that you're not necessarily

682
00:47:34.039 --> 00:47:37.039
immediately thinking of like menu time,
right, Like, oh, I'm I'm

683
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:39.800
too slow in menus because I don't
know exactly where the key is. I

684
00:47:39.880 --> 00:47:44.119
have to be able to understand how
the game works and know what's slot that

685
00:47:44.320 --> 00:47:45.679
key's going to be in before I
even go in there, so I can

686
00:47:45.840 --> 00:47:52.039
access it it immediately. But you
know, there is something about this game

687
00:47:52.159 --> 00:47:54.880
is so much bullshit? Right?
Is it's so satisfying to out bullshit the

688
00:47:54.960 --> 00:47:58.760
bullshit? Right? If you look
at me, look at me, I'm

689
00:47:58.800 --> 00:48:01.360
the captain. Now, you're the
sub zero. Now? Yes, yeah,

690
00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:05.239
I'm the sub zero. I'm the
Sorcerer now, Mike, was it

691
00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:08.760
at all cathartic to see Dan just
firing up the second? Is that the

692
00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:13.079
first level? Second level? It's
the first level one? Oh my god?

693
00:48:13.199 --> 00:48:15.239
Yeah? Was it cathartic to see
him get squished and then immediately just

694
00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:19.239
turn off the game? Well?
I felt a little bad because he's been

695
00:48:19.639 --> 00:48:21.880
actually hanging out in my streams.
I've been doing this a lot. He's

696
00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:23.320
been very supportive and it's fun having
him there. And I think he like,

697
00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:29.639
you know, he liked when we
competed in Astro and Neon White's like,

698
00:48:29.679 --> 00:48:32.239
oh, maybe I'll compete with with
bitching this. But like the only

699
00:48:32.280 --> 00:48:36.239
reason I'm able to do this,
and the reason why so many people don't

700
00:48:36.280 --> 00:48:38.039
do that, is that to be
able to speed on the game, you

701
00:48:38.119 --> 00:48:43.559
have to just play the game first. And that's the ridiculously hard part.

702
00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:47.000
That was me struggling on Blake Club
just getting a base idea of how this

703
00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:52.239
game controls or works. Just so
much of the memo hours on the second

704
00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:53.800
level, right like six to eight
hours, right, yeah, something like

705
00:48:53.840 --> 00:48:57.280
that. And it's great that I
can beat that level in five minutes now,

706
00:48:57.679 --> 00:49:00.400
it feels good, but man,
at that time, but yeah,

707
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:01.960
Dan like got in there and at
first he's like, well this, yeah,

708
00:49:02.039 --> 00:49:06.920
this just plays like a World Kombat
game, and then just immediately got

709
00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:10.599
smashed to death like ten times in
a row and like almost had a panic

710
00:49:10.639 --> 00:49:16.320
attack and had to turn the game. It's a good video game. It's

711
00:49:16.480 --> 00:49:22.800
something he did check out the water
World game for Super Nintendo that never came

712
00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:25.000
out in the US because he's thinking
about speed running that. I'm trying to

713
00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:30.159
encourage him because one game does look
that bad. Two incredible soundtrack. Three

714
00:49:30.599 --> 00:49:37.519
it's a water World video game.
Man on the board on that game.

715
00:49:37.559 --> 00:49:39.320
I'll get on the board on that
game. There's one recorded speed run for

716
00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:43.719
it, right, Oh okay,
you could all be there. We could

717
00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:47.280
just culminate it with giant bum Yeah
we should do that. Actually we should

718
00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:51.920
squat on like a record somewhere of
like, yeah, why said all these

719
00:49:52.039 --> 00:49:58.960
fucos here? All right? Last
segment of the first segment of the show.

720
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.480
I'm curious about going around the horn
here. We're like halfway through March,

721
00:50:04.480 --> 00:50:07.760
a little bit more than halfway through
March, and we've had a flood

722
00:50:08.039 --> 00:50:13.280
a very very good to amazing games, and I wanted to go around the

723
00:50:13.280 --> 00:50:16.400
horn and get everyone's top three of
the year so far. Not in any

724
00:50:16.519 --> 00:50:19.320
order. If you don't want to
order it, but if you do,

725
00:50:19.480 --> 00:50:23.599
like Mike Manatti does, you can
order it. I'll go first. My

726
00:50:23.760 --> 00:50:30.440
top three is in no order,
Final Fantasy seven Rebirth, that game,

727
00:50:30.679 --> 00:50:35.199
fucking Fox. I love finding the
chocobo stops because I love petting their little

728
00:50:35.239 --> 00:50:42.440
heads. I need a plush of
that Bilatro and like a dragon infinite wealth.

729
00:50:43.159 --> 00:50:47.800
Mike Manatti, please, Yeah,
I think mine in order number three.

730
00:50:49.320 --> 00:50:53.599
Blatro just definitely one of the more
fun roguelikes I've ever played. I

731
00:50:53.840 --> 00:50:59.239
loved the whole poker thing. Number
two Brits of Persia, The Lost Crown,

732
00:50:59.360 --> 00:51:04.039
one of the best metro vanas ever, incredible combat, incredible platform.

733
00:51:04.119 --> 00:51:10.920
But number one File Fantasy seven Rebirth
just one of the most fun big grapeyg

734
00:51:12.119 --> 00:51:17.159
experiences that we have ever seen.
Jeff Grubb. Yeah, it's a kind

735
00:51:17.199 --> 00:51:21.800
of a mixture between you two.
It would probably be number three, Bolatro

736
00:51:22.400 --> 00:51:25.800
number two, God, that's tough. Probably number two would be Like a

737
00:51:25.880 --> 00:51:30.760
Dragon Infinite Wealth, and number one
would be Prince of Persia, The Lost

738
00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:36.840
Crown. Oh, Bailey Myers Lato
is my number one. I'm just saying

739
00:51:36.880 --> 00:51:39.360
that right now, just getting it
out of the way. Sure. And

740
00:51:39.559 --> 00:51:44.559
then games I played this year that
were good. Games I played this year

741
00:51:44.599 --> 00:51:45.920
that were I've played so many bad
games. I'm trying to think of the

742
00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:50.679
good ones. I have started Like
a Dragon Infinite Wealth, and I'm really

743
00:51:50.800 --> 00:51:52.320
enjoying it. So I'm just gonna
throw that on the list right just by

744
00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:57.039
process elimination. There are so few
games I played that were that are worthy

745
00:51:57.119 --> 00:52:00.559
of the top three. And then
this one's for me, The Share in

746
00:52:00.599 --> 00:52:05.360
the Wanderer, The Mystery Dungeon of
certain Oh sure, Yeah, right,

747
00:52:05.480 --> 00:52:08.239
I saw you getting super hyped about
this. I love Sharing The Wanderer.

748
00:52:08.760 --> 00:52:14.400
I Sharon and I go way back, played it on my PSP. You

749
00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:20.119
know whole thing now, it's I've
always liked been curious about Sharing the Wanderer.

750
00:52:20.159 --> 00:52:21.800
What makes it so good? Why
do you like it so much?

751
00:52:22.239 --> 00:52:25.840
It is it's got a really I
think it's just got a really addicting gameplay

752
00:52:25.880 --> 00:52:31.239
loop. But the fact is it's
got like some classic roguelike mechanics mixed in

753
00:52:31.679 --> 00:52:37.199
with just a really interesting world that
they've developed, really cute graphics. Uh,

754
00:52:38.119 --> 00:52:40.880
I just there's something, there's something
about it's got a certain to say

755
00:52:40.920 --> 00:52:44.719
quah, I don't know, it's
just a very successful roguelike to me and

756
00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:47.599
anything like that. You're it's gonna
be hard to like say out loud and

757
00:52:47.760 --> 00:52:52.440
really explain like, oh yeah,
this really hits that that like monkey brain

758
00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:54.639
that lives in me, that like
needs the numbers to go up and the

759
00:52:54.719 --> 00:52:58.400
everything, but that it's it hits
the same part of my brain that Blager

760
00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:04.239
does. To be perfectly honest,
like, it's just it's very really I'd

761
00:53:04.280 --> 00:53:07.000
be really curious for you to check
out, and I think you might enjoy

762
00:53:07.079 --> 00:53:09.360
it. It can get spooky or
a little bit creepy sometimes, but I

763
00:53:09.440 --> 00:53:15.239
think you might like Pacific Drive.
Specific Drive Okay, yeah, game set

764
00:53:15.320 --> 00:53:17.280
in like the PNW. You kind
of get quartered off in a specific zone

765
00:53:17.320 --> 00:53:21.559
and you're just fixing your car.
It's very process heavy. Okay. I've

766
00:53:21.599 --> 00:53:24.039
done a lot of driving in the
PNW and it was spooky in real life

767
00:53:24.119 --> 00:53:28.800
too, So I can't I go. Man, I felt bad. I

768
00:53:28.880 --> 00:53:31.679
don't even have tech in eight or
how I know on my list exactly.

769
00:53:32.039 --> 00:53:36.119
That's why I was gonna ask honorable
mentions for me. It would be held

770
00:53:36.159 --> 00:53:42.480
out of eight. The one point
oh release of God but not Temple Run.

771
00:53:42.719 --> 00:53:46.239
That's the Phantom Abyss. Phantom Abyss
is released in one point oh in

772
00:53:46.320 --> 00:53:50.000
January, and it's like, I
love that game in early access and I've

773
00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:52.119
played a little bit since it went
one point oh. But it's like,

774
00:53:52.239 --> 00:53:55.360
man, even that isn't getting into
the top five already for the year,

775
00:53:55.400 --> 00:53:59.719
and I love that game. So
it's just gonna be an incredible year.

776
00:53:59.800 --> 00:54:05.199
I think it's gonna be a blood
bath. I I was thinking like,

777
00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:08.079
oh, we're finally in a quiet
period, but Dragon's Dokma two is coming

778
00:54:08.119 --> 00:54:13.400
out later this week. Yeah,
I do think it is actually gonna get

779
00:54:13.559 --> 00:54:16.039
kind of quiet after that for a
bit though, like knock on wood.

780
00:54:16.199 --> 00:54:22.960
Nah, but man, it has
to eventually. Did anyone put any time

781
00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:25.599
into a loan and Alone in the
Dark, which I think reviews just came

782
00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:30.320
out this morning. No, it's
it's mostly they're mostly pretty bad. I

783
00:54:30.480 --> 00:54:31.639
had a code and I haven't touched
it, so I'm gonna play it and

784
00:54:31.639 --> 00:54:35.760
I'll try to talk about it for
next week. Everybody see if I have

785
00:54:35.880 --> 00:54:39.199
some opinion on it. It was
just on the game Spot release schedule,

786
00:54:39.719 --> 00:54:44.320
and I'm like remembering games like ink
Luminati. I wanted to check that out,

787
00:54:44.360 --> 00:54:47.440
although they spell it ink Ula Nati
here. They really butchered that name.

788
00:54:49.239 --> 00:54:51.760
Pocket Card Jockey, I got that. I haven't touched that. Penny's

789
00:54:51.760 --> 00:54:53.800
Big Breakaway. I'm like three worlds
into that. I want to keep playing

790
00:54:53.840 --> 00:54:57.360
it. So, I mean,
there's been a ton of stuff, and

791
00:54:57.760 --> 00:55:00.000
uh, yeah, I think I
think I think you're probably right Mike about

792
00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:01.559
the rest of the year. But
even still, there's a ton I want

793
00:55:01.559 --> 00:55:05.079
to catch up on. Yeah,
hell, divers is probably on the top

794
00:55:05.159 --> 00:55:08.199
of that list to catch up on. Yeah, mostly we'll just make more

795
00:55:08.239 --> 00:55:12.199
time just to play it here.
Like, I haven't had a bad experience

796
00:55:12.320 --> 00:55:15.360
like playing with raindos, but I
think i've I would have more fun playing

797
00:55:15.400 --> 00:55:20.159
with friends, yep for sure.
Yeah, Oh real quick, before we

798
00:55:20.239 --> 00:55:22.880
go to break. I did check
out the five v five mode in the

799
00:55:22.960 --> 00:55:28.800
finals. Let me tell y'all it
is. I don't I went from really

800
00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:32.920
liking that game last year three v
three v three adding two more people to

801
00:55:34.000 --> 00:55:38.440
that squad. No one does their
fucking tasks anymore. No one fucking does

802
00:55:38.480 --> 00:55:42.239
their job because they think someone else
will do it instead, And I'm like,

803
00:55:42.480 --> 00:55:45.239
are you fucking going to be just
right? Anyway? That's it.

804
00:55:46.519 --> 00:55:52.239
I think we should jump into the
finals. I don't know if they have

805
00:55:52.440 --> 00:55:54.880
released the private lobbies yet, because
if that is the case, we should

806
00:55:54.920 --> 00:55:59.559
do that on a Thursday, throw
it down. I think I think they

807
00:56:00.079 --> 00:56:01.840
did. Someone mentioned to me that
that was happening in an update, So

808
00:56:02.800 --> 00:56:06.760
yeah, we should make that happen. That'd be great. Oh Jesus Christ,

809
00:56:06.800 --> 00:56:08.480
I just see in the chat elden
Ring DLC's coming out. What the

810
00:56:08.599 --> 00:56:14.519
fuck right? Right? Yeah?
We and we really really really should do

811
00:56:14.960 --> 00:56:17.119
the elder Ring multiplayer with all the
mods, so it's like seamless and stuff

812
00:56:17.480 --> 00:56:21.679
leading into that, So I would
I think that would be a great thing

813
00:56:21.760 --> 00:56:23.519
to do on the site. Yeah, and I still want to I still

814
00:56:23.559 --> 00:56:29.400
want to check out k Tour eventually
because yeah, I bet, I bet

815
00:56:29.440 --> 00:56:34.000
we'll be able to slot that in
the summer somewhere. Yeah, maybe y'all

816
00:56:34.079 --> 00:56:37.880
should get take a take a break
from the Blights and have a d light

817
00:56:37.679 --> 00:56:40.320
instead. There you go, Oh, that'd be fun the Light Club.

818
00:56:40.519 --> 00:56:45.880
Because I am not subjecting myself to
a bad game. It sounds like Bailey

819
00:56:45.920 --> 00:56:47.840
has to subject herself to herself to
bad game, so that's her job.

820
00:56:52.039 --> 00:56:54.840
Folks, were just gonna descend into
the abyss and think about Skull and Bones

821
00:56:54.920 --> 00:57:01.880
some more, and then we'll come
back and talk about the news. I

822
00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:06.679
actually have breaking news, Jeff grab
breaking news I forgot to talk about in

823
00:57:06.760 --> 00:57:13.480
the top segment. Here. Here's
like the news beatbe beeps new merchant the

824
00:57:13.559 --> 00:57:16.920
star. Folks at home, go
to store dot Giantbond dot com. You

825
00:57:17.039 --> 00:57:21.960
can get a signed Game of the
Year live poster. If you missed the

826
00:57:22.079 --> 00:57:27.199
in person event. You can see
that right there, a lovely poster designed

827
00:57:27.199 --> 00:57:32.800
by Jerrem Lovely Time had Lovely flashbacks
of Wow, what a whirlwind of how

828
00:57:32.840 --> 00:57:39.199
long were we in LA for a
week? Yeah? You memories made Korean

829
00:57:39.239 --> 00:57:44.880
barbecue eaton. Yes, great,
great time as well as we signed all

830
00:57:44.920 --> 00:57:46.639
those those posters and then they kicked
us out of the restaurants we were just

831
00:57:46.840 --> 00:57:50.280
supposed to be in there. That
was a good time that we weren't happy.

832
00:57:50.679 --> 00:57:52.480
I'm not convinced that Dan actually asked
someone. I think he just walked

833
00:57:52.519 --> 00:57:58.079
out of the room and then walked
back unless I believed him. As well

834
00:57:58.239 --> 00:58:00.440
as the signed poster, we also
have two new mugs in the store,

835
00:58:00.519 --> 00:58:07.280
one with the dizzy eyeball new Giant
Bomb logo there on a lovely mug as

836
00:58:07.360 --> 00:58:12.239
well as another new Giant Bomb at
Night mug. And then on top of

837
00:58:12.320 --> 00:58:16.320
that, prepare for the holidays,
early lovelies, because we have a dumper

838
00:58:16.760 --> 00:58:20.880
bomb ornament. This was supposed to
come out last year during the holidays,

839
00:58:21.159 --> 00:58:25.360
but were like, screw it,
spit out now the voicemail dump truck Bomb

840
00:58:27.840 --> 00:58:32.280
delivering hot dumps to your local area
codes. Go check that out store dot

841
00:58:32.320 --> 00:58:37.159
Giant Bomb dot com, and forget
your joggers. Joggers with every order you

842
00:58:37.239 --> 00:58:39.679
have joggers with every order. You
gotta order them. They're flying off the

843
00:58:39.800 --> 00:58:45.079
shelves, so I'm literally wearing mine
right now. They're really great, aren't

844
00:58:45.079 --> 00:58:47.119
they. Yeah. I still haven't
gotten my own store code to work,

845
00:58:47.719 --> 00:58:53.559
so I'm I'm sitting here like a
brokey and gee, I do store stuff

846
00:58:53.599 --> 00:58:55.559
now, Jean. I'll see if
I can get your code. I'll talk

847
00:58:55.599 --> 00:59:00.280
to the people and make it a
fantastic shouts out to Margaret up. Oh

848
00:59:00.719 --> 00:59:09.800
here it is coming. Oh h
deef CRUs, All aboard the news train,

849
00:59:09.880 --> 00:59:13.639
everybody. Uh yeah, I got
a bunch of headlines here for you.

850
00:59:13.800 --> 00:59:17.079
Let's start with PS five Pro is
probably coming this year, and we

851
00:59:17.159 --> 00:59:22.280
have some leaked specs. Uh.
Basically this started. Insider Gaming got a

852
00:59:22.559 --> 00:59:25.760
rundown of the leak specs for the
PS five Pro, and then a bunch

853
00:59:25.760 --> 00:59:29.320
of people are like, yeah,
this is on the PlayStation dev net,

854
00:59:29.559 --> 00:59:32.400
like for developers to go look at. It's just sitting there, which which

855
00:59:32.440 --> 00:59:37.079
is strange because I guess today Tom
Henderson from Inside Gaming was like, they're

856
00:59:37.159 --> 00:59:40.320
investigating who leaked this, Like,
Sony, it was you, you did

857
00:59:40.440 --> 00:59:45.119
this. We're all trying to fire
the guard who did this. They're all

858
00:59:45.239 --> 00:59:49.639
trying to find the Jim Ryan that
did this. The big thing here is

859
00:59:49.800 --> 00:59:52.519
the CPU is going to be the
same. The GPU is getting a pretty

860
00:59:52.599 --> 00:59:57.119
big increase. If you just look
at the Terra flops numbers, it's like,

861
00:59:57.159 --> 00:59:59.760
oh, it's three times as powerful. That's not really how it works.

862
00:59:59.800 --> 01:00:02.599
It's going to be about forty five
percent more powerful, So you know

863
01:00:02.679 --> 01:00:07.119
you're gonna be able to get more
frames per second in all these games that

864
01:00:07.199 --> 01:00:09.239
already work on PlayStation five, you
know, if they get an update to

865
01:00:09.239 --> 01:00:14.440
take advantage of the Pro, which
most of them probably will. The kind

866
01:00:14.480 --> 01:00:20.440
of marquee feature here for the PS
five Pro is AI upscaling, similar to

867
01:00:20.559 --> 01:00:25.400
how Nvidia has d DLSS, Sony's
gonna have something called I think it's PSSR

868
01:00:27.239 --> 01:00:32.880
PlayStation PlayStation Spectral super Resolution. Basically, it's just going to recreate the image

869
01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:36.239
so you can run it at a
low resolution, but it looks like a

870
01:00:36.320 --> 01:00:39.360
higher resolution, something we're pretty used
to these days. That's the like the

871
01:00:39.480 --> 01:00:44.119
big change here, so that Sony
can get even more performance out of this

872
01:00:44.199 --> 01:00:49.079
PS five Pro. I'm still wondering
how they're gonna market this thing. How

873
01:00:49.079 --> 01:00:52.119
are they going to communicate these features
and get people excited about it. The

874
01:00:52.199 --> 01:00:53.880
thing with the PS four pro,
it was very easy. A lot of

875
01:00:53.920 --> 01:00:58.679
people were buying four KTVs. A
lot more people had four KTVs in like

876
01:00:58.760 --> 01:01:02.360
twenty sixteen than had them in twenty
thirteen. So when Sony's like this PS

877
01:01:02.400 --> 01:01:06.639
four here, will take advantage of
that four KTV you bought for the Super

878
01:01:06.679 --> 01:01:09.119
Bowl or whatever. That was easy
marketing, easy thing to get out there

879
01:01:09.119 --> 01:01:13.360
and get people like moving to buy
these things. They won't have that this

880
01:01:13.519 --> 01:01:16.480
time. Unless I don't know,
do you guys care about AI super resolution?

881
01:01:17.280 --> 01:01:20.639
I mean, it might be a
hard thing to sell. You put

882
01:01:20.679 --> 01:01:23.679
that in the box. I think
it helps that the pro is already a

883
01:01:23.800 --> 01:01:28.840
thing now right. People already remember
the Placation four pro. So you say

884
01:01:28.840 --> 01:01:30.000
a place of I PRO, people
just get like, oh, this is

885
01:01:30.119 --> 01:01:34.800
the mid gen refresh generally, I
mean, the thing that'll get me on

886
01:01:34.920 --> 01:01:37.599
board with it. And it's the
reason why I'm interested in a mid gen

887
01:01:37.679 --> 01:01:40.960
refresh. When going into this generation, I thought I wouldn't be. I

888
01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:44.280
thought you wouldn't need one. But
we, like you know, we are

889
01:01:44.360 --> 01:01:47.000
at a point like Dragon's Dogma two, it's coming out and on Plasation five

890
01:01:47.039 --> 01:01:52.360
it's just gonna be thirty frames per
second with no performance mode option, right,

891
01:01:52.519 --> 01:01:54.119
And I know, I don't know
how you put this on the box,

892
01:01:54.199 --> 01:01:58.960
but like your games will probably always
have a sixty FPS option. Now

893
01:01:59.840 --> 01:02:01.719
that's what I need. I need
to be able to play a console game

894
01:02:01.800 --> 01:02:06.239
at sixty fps in some way or
another, And it's the reason why I

895
01:02:06.320 --> 01:02:08.559
might get suckered into this. Yeah, I mean, Dragged Dogma two might

896
01:02:08.599 --> 01:02:10.960
be an outlier. I mean,
I guess we'll talk about it more we're

897
01:02:12.000 --> 01:02:15.280
allowed to talk about it, but
yeah, you're right, like we're at

898
01:02:15.280 --> 01:02:20.039
a point where developers are going back
to their old ways of Hey, we're

899
01:02:20.039 --> 01:02:22.639
going to take advantage of visual fidelity. So if we want to keep sixty

900
01:02:22.679 --> 01:02:25.480
frames per second, you're gonna have
to buy new hardware. And they know

901
01:02:25.599 --> 01:02:29.360
that there's a lot of us out
there that really care about that high frame

902
01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:31.840
rate, and so they'll be able
to lean into that a bit. It

903
01:02:31.920 --> 01:02:37.000
will also have improved ray tracing.
That was something that was a marquee feature

904
01:02:37.159 --> 01:02:44.840
for GPUs on PC quite some time
ago. It became something that they mentioned

905
01:02:44.920 --> 01:02:49.719
for PS five and Xbox Series X
and even s, and though none of

906
01:02:49.760 --> 01:02:52.119
those systems really run ray tracing,
all that. Well, that stuff is

907
01:02:52.239 --> 01:02:58.159
very the damaging to performance, and
so it's kind of rarely ever used,

908
01:02:59.079 --> 01:03:00.920
and when it is, it's like
just for shadows or something like that,

909
01:03:01.280 --> 01:03:07.079
or maybe at the occasional reflection.
I suppose this means when we do get

910
01:03:07.119 --> 01:03:10.159
ray tracing games, it'll run better. I don't think improved ray tracing and

911
01:03:10.280 --> 01:03:14.199
PS five pro though, means we
get a lot more console games with like

912
01:03:14.320 --> 01:03:17.000
full ray tracing options because they're still
going to have to support the PS five

913
01:03:17.159 --> 01:03:21.000
out of the gate. So there'll
be a handful of games maybe that do

914
01:03:21.119 --> 01:03:23.119
take advantage of it, but I'm
not expecting this to be some huge change

915
01:03:23.480 --> 01:03:27.639
to the way games are made or
how they actually use this technology. And

916
01:03:27.760 --> 01:03:30.320
again, do you guys care about
ray tracing? This is something you've had

917
01:03:30.360 --> 01:03:32.400
a chance to decide whether or not
you care about it. I mean,

918
01:03:32.400 --> 01:03:37.199
at this point, do you even
notice it other than that Minecraft demo?

919
01:03:37.559 --> 01:03:40.400
No? Yeah, right, yeah, God, the Minecraft thing was actually

920
01:03:40.519 --> 01:03:45.719
still maybe the most impressive thing.
Think I turned it on on Mos Morales

921
01:03:45.760 --> 01:03:47.159
once I was like, that's neat
that, but like you know, and

922
01:03:47.239 --> 01:03:52.320
I stop and I'm literally on a
building and I'm like really paying a touch

923
01:03:52.360 --> 01:03:55.280
a reflection. Sure, I'm not
like really swinging around and actually playing the

924
01:03:55.440 --> 01:04:01.280
game. You know, it doesn't
really matter. There was a portal one

925
01:04:01.400 --> 01:04:05.519
right as well. That was neat. Yeah, there's a portal ratracing lotch

926
01:04:05.559 --> 01:04:09.679
Yeah. See, I'm sure at
some point like this stuff will become way

927
01:04:09.760 --> 01:04:12.599
more standard. That's going to be
great, but at the price it comes

928
01:04:12.719 --> 01:04:16.039
right now. You know, like
Ifsomniac does do things like they're the one

929
01:04:16.119 --> 01:04:20.719
people who are able to have a
sixty fps ratracing mode somehow, and in

930
01:04:20.800 --> 01:04:24.800
that case, yeah, I'll turn
on and that's pretty neat, but just

931
01:04:24.800 --> 01:04:28.880
sees that we're pretty far away from
that kind of thing being standard. Yep.

932
01:04:29.159 --> 01:04:32.719
It's uh, you know, we're
not getting like a solid sixty frames

933
01:04:32.760 --> 01:04:36.239
per second at four K with ray
tracing on anytime soon, even with the

934
01:04:36.280 --> 01:04:43.119
most powerful GPUs on PC. So
when they have to make games with both

935
01:04:43.320 --> 01:04:48.000
rasterized lighting and ray trace lighting,
well they they're going to keep doing both,

936
01:04:48.079 --> 01:04:50.679
and so the rasterized lighting is going
to look look amazing because a lot

937
01:04:50.679 --> 01:04:54.800
of great artists have gotten very good
at that over years and years and years.

938
01:04:55.280 --> 01:04:59.840
And at the same time, it's
just you know, you once you

939
01:05:00.039 --> 01:05:01.400
see that frame rate drop when you
go to the ray tracing, you're just

940
01:05:01.519 --> 01:05:05.320
gonna be like, I don't it's
not that much improved. For developers,

941
01:05:05.840 --> 01:05:09.599
ray tracing is great because they could
just flip a switch and see what the

942
01:05:09.679 --> 01:05:13.960
lighting does and move things in real
time and just set up the scene and

943
01:05:14.039 --> 01:05:16.239
it just works, and that's really
beneficial. But they still also have to

944
01:05:16.280 --> 01:05:19.760
make the rest rise scenes at the
same time, so ray tracing is going

945
01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:25.679
to take a long time to sort
of get through this transition period. And

946
01:05:25.760 --> 01:05:28.519
then you know, other things here, like there's going to be more memory,

947
01:05:28.599 --> 01:05:30.960
bandwidth, more memory, and that's
gonna be beneficial to a lot of

948
01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:33.199
games, things like that. But
at the end of the day, this

949
01:05:33.320 --> 01:05:36.320
is going to be a PS five
pro It is the Midgeen refresh, something

950
01:05:36.360 --> 01:05:40.119
that we're used to at this point, something I think a lot of people

951
01:05:40.199 --> 01:05:43.519
will upgrade to. I don't think
it'll be the standard for a lot of

952
01:05:43.559 --> 01:05:46.360
people because I expect this probably to
be more expensive than the current PS five

953
01:05:46.440 --> 01:05:49.639
at five hundred dollars. It is
probably going to be six hundred dollars,

954
01:05:50.039 --> 01:05:54.360
is what I would guess right now. I was here at ninety nine US

955
01:05:54.440 --> 01:05:57.920
dollars five hundred ninety nine US dollars. You're going to get a second job

956
01:05:58.000 --> 01:06:01.559
for this one. That's six hundred
long churros from Subway. I'll pass.

957
01:06:02.079 --> 01:06:09.800
You can buy six hundred CHROs with
that money, and I have so,

958
01:06:10.519 --> 01:06:14.039
Bailey says she's gonna pass. How
about you, fellows, If they release

959
01:06:14.079 --> 01:06:15.440
a news Ridge racer with it,
I will definitely get it. Jeff,

960
01:06:15.440 --> 01:06:18.280
do you think that's happening? I
think, listen, if there was a

961
01:06:18.360 --> 01:06:21.599
time to come out with a new
Ridge racer, to like launch with a

962
01:06:21.639 --> 01:06:27.440
new PlayStation device, it's now,
like now it's the time. How about

963
01:06:27.440 --> 01:06:30.159
you, Jen, I've been thinking
lately, Oh, it'd be nice to

964
01:06:30.239 --> 01:06:33.719
not have to move my PS five
from the office here to the living room

965
01:06:33.800 --> 01:06:38.079
back and forth whenever I want to
play a game. Yeah, I don't

966
01:06:38.079 --> 01:06:42.760
know if it's six hundred dollars worth
of that inconvenience, you know, And

967
01:06:42.840 --> 01:06:46.840
that's such a specific circumstance, because
like, how how many people are going

968
01:06:46.920 --> 01:06:51.079
to need like an office PS five
versus a living room? PS fine,

969
01:06:51.280 --> 01:06:55.440
just me here on my ivory pedestal, you know. Well, I mean,

970
01:06:55.440 --> 01:06:57.480
if you were like trading in your
PS five, you get a PS

971
01:06:57.559 --> 01:07:00.960
five Pro for probably a pretty decent
price. You probably down like two fifty

972
01:07:00.000 --> 01:07:04.519
maybe three hundred dollars three hundred US. Jeff Grubb, you're right when you

973
01:07:04.559 --> 01:07:09.599
put in those terms. That's horrifying. I can't imagine before. Yeah,

974
01:07:11.119 --> 01:07:15.559
uh yeah, so we'll see.
I think the thing we'll we'll do fine.

975
01:07:15.119 --> 01:07:19.159
The thing I'm most worried about,
though, is that the new Astrobat

976
01:07:19.199 --> 01:07:21.880
game that I hear is coming out
this year is for this thing. I'm

977
01:07:21.920 --> 01:07:25.639
starting to like worry that that's why
that that's lined up for this year,

978
01:07:25.960 --> 01:07:30.880
because astro games always come out with
new hardware like they're they're tech showcases.

979
01:07:32.360 --> 01:07:34.679
I don't know. Please tell me
I'm wrong, Please tell me they're making

980
01:07:34.719 --> 01:07:39.960
a real astro game. You're completely
right, Grub shit too. They gotta

981
01:07:40.000 --> 01:07:44.440
be doing something. Yeah, something
could be just a tech demo, just

982
01:07:44.519 --> 01:07:45.760
like all the other Astro games that
go along with this, and it's for

983
01:07:45.840 --> 01:07:49.000
the PS five Pro, And I
wanted to be a full, real sixty

984
01:07:49.039 --> 01:07:51.880
dollars game. Well what kind of
how how much tech is there to show

985
01:07:51.920 --> 01:07:55.280
off? Like, yeah, look, I know the game runs better,

986
01:07:55.320 --> 01:07:58.960
it has to just be a full
game now, Okay, I want to

987
01:07:59.000 --> 01:08:02.159
believe they didn't do one for PiZZ
Ver two. So maybe you're fine,

988
01:08:02.239 --> 01:08:04.760
Grub, maybe you're fine. Yeah, well we saw how much they cared

989
01:08:04.760 --> 01:08:09.920
about PSVR two. You know what, let's just show to that real quick.

990
01:08:09.920 --> 01:08:12.719
Then we'll love back around. Speaking
of PSVR two, it ain't doing

991
01:08:12.920 --> 01:08:17.119
so hot. Sony has reportedly halted
production of PlayStation VR two due to a

992
01:08:17.239 --> 01:08:21.920
surplus of unsold units, just one
year after it's launch in February of twenty

993
01:08:23.000 --> 01:08:27.199
twenty three. The reporting here goes, Bloomberg looked into it and they're like,

994
01:08:27.399 --> 01:08:31.960
they are kind of pausing production on
these things as a whole. And

995
01:08:32.079 --> 01:08:36.000
it seems like, oh, you
know, the people that provide components for

996
01:08:36.079 --> 01:08:41.640
PSVR two are no longer getting orders
from Sony to make new PSVR two.

997
01:08:42.119 --> 01:08:45.319
And the reasoning is there's a lot
of piz Verse two's sitting on the shelves

998
01:08:45.399 --> 01:08:51.760
and no one's buying them. Now
that it's not too surprising because Sony's not

999
01:08:51.800 --> 01:08:57.920
supporting it with a ton of new
games. It's very expensive people are focusing

1000
01:08:58.039 --> 01:09:00.479
on, like, hey, you
know five hundred fifty do our people are

1001
01:09:00.520 --> 01:09:03.560
focusing on churros instead. Uh,
if it's the common thing, economists are

1002
01:09:03.560 --> 01:09:08.760
all talking about it, the turo
based economy. Sure, yeah, the

1003
01:09:09.199 --> 01:09:12.000
Turo index, And so it's hard
to give it to people to like,

1004
01:09:12.239 --> 01:09:15.359
you know, to fork over that
money instead when they're spending on tros instead,

1005
01:09:15.439 --> 01:09:18.239
especially when they're are no video games
for the thing that are coming out

1006
01:09:18.239 --> 01:09:23.640
and get people excited. So I'm
not too surprised by this, but I'm

1007
01:09:23.720 --> 01:09:27.720
like wondering, like, is Sony
abandoning it fully because it kind of feels

1008
01:09:27.800 --> 01:09:30.039
like that, because what the alternative
here will be, like, well,

1009
01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:32.680
lower the price, makes some deals
for some of these games. Finally actually

1010
01:09:32.720 --> 01:09:36.079
get Half Life Alex on there.
But they're not pulling these levers that they

1011
01:09:36.119 --> 01:09:39.920
could be pulling. And to me, that says it's because they don't care.

1012
01:09:40.039 --> 01:09:43.640
They are moving, they're thinking beyond
the PSVR two already. Does that

1013
01:09:43.760 --> 01:09:46.079
sound right to y'all? I think
they go ahead, Mike, go ahead,

1014
01:09:46.119 --> 01:09:49.520
Jen, h No, I'm nice
offing still you go? Jen?

1015
01:09:49.760 --> 01:09:55.520
Okay? Shit, I think they
should have pulled the lever before it even

1016
01:09:55.600 --> 01:09:58.880
came out and decided not to release
it, because it just feels like,

1017
01:09:58.960 --> 01:10:03.359
yeah, bullip in PS five Timeline
yep, Yeah, I just don't understand

1018
01:10:03.399 --> 01:10:06.479
why you know, if you're going
to do this, like, I can't

1019
01:10:06.479 --> 01:10:10.720
believe they did it so half heartedly
with PSVR two, How do you not

1020
01:10:10.840 --> 01:10:14.960
figure out some kind of backwards compatibility
at the very least, at least make

1021
01:10:15.000 --> 01:10:19.520
an upgrade version of Astrobot Rescue Mission
like the one PSVR game you had that

1022
01:10:19.640 --> 01:10:23.199
people were like, Yeah, this
is the best VR game ever. You

1023
01:10:23.319 --> 01:10:27.399
don't leverage that in any ways.
You don't go out of your way to

1024
01:10:27.520 --> 01:10:30.760
make some kind of deal with Valve
to get Half Life Alex on there.

1025
01:10:30.800 --> 01:10:33.239
It's not like they would be that
adverse to it. They've released plenty of

1026
01:10:34.159 --> 01:10:39.399
Valve games on consoles before. They
seem to be pretty happy to port stuff.

1027
01:10:39.880 --> 01:10:43.199
You have to make that one happen
or I don't know, you understand

1028
01:10:43.239 --> 01:10:48.279
what you're trying to do. I
on game mess yesterday grub the poll was

1029
01:10:49.000 --> 01:10:53.359
do you have a PSVR two?
And one of the comments I noticed was

1030
01:10:53.560 --> 01:10:57.920
yes, and RI four is the
best VR experience I've ever played. I

1031
01:10:58.000 --> 01:11:00.800
thought, yeah, people really like
those residuable games would be yes. That

1032
01:11:00.920 --> 01:11:03.760
sounds terrifying though, Yeah, Receival
seven is one. I would always hear

1033
01:11:04.039 --> 01:11:08.760
Mark from eight to four play talk
about and I'm like, you're a sociopath.

1034
01:11:08.840 --> 01:11:12.479
I could never do that. That's
that's the scariest thing I could possibly

1035
01:11:12.520 --> 01:11:16.399
imagine. Yeah, but hearing that
someone saying it's the best VR game I've

1036
01:11:16.399 --> 01:11:21.640
ever played, they I'm so confused. What well, like, you know,

1037
01:11:21.720 --> 01:11:25.359
Beatsaber is standing in place. It
is very fun, but like playing

1038
01:11:25.359 --> 01:11:30.560
a full full game where you're just
popping bopping around, it's mildly enticing.

1039
01:11:30.720 --> 01:11:32.880
Maybe I'll just try and steal the
piz Vertu from the game spot office.

1040
01:11:33.600 --> 01:11:39.640
Yeah, do that missing? Yeah, I would watch you play Recuable for

1041
01:11:39.840 --> 01:11:43.920
in VR. I would like to
see that. All right, Jam,

1042
01:11:44.000 --> 01:11:47.640
We're bounce back up to this story. Steam Families expands game sharing on Steam.

1043
01:11:48.199 --> 01:11:54.880
Valves introduced Steam Families, a comprehensive
platform aimed at enhancing game sharing,

1044
01:11:55.359 --> 01:12:00.840
monitoring, monitoring children's activities, and
facilitating purchases on Steam. This new feature

1045
01:12:00.920 --> 01:12:05.439
amalgamates and replaces both Steam Family Sharing
and Steam Family View, offering a streamlined

1046
01:12:05.479 --> 01:12:11.000
experience for users. Available in beta, Steam Families enables users to create family

1047
01:12:11.039 --> 01:12:15.119
groups, which I think includes a
total of six people, manage them across

1048
01:12:15.199 --> 01:12:19.880
multiple devices, and implement parental controls
to regulate gaming and purchasing activities. Many

1049
01:12:19.960 --> 01:12:25.640
of these features existed sort of separate
from one another on Steam before. Now

1050
01:12:25.720 --> 01:12:28.560
they're bringing them all together in one
place. And the big thing for me

1051
01:12:28.840 --> 01:12:33.800
is now, when you share your
family library of games with someone else in

1052
01:12:33.880 --> 01:12:39.159
the family sharing model, when you
go to start up a game, it's

1053
01:12:39.199 --> 01:12:42.239
not going to kick off someone else
who's playing a different game. If you

1054
01:12:42.319 --> 01:12:45.600
try to play the same game,
that won't work. But now if I'm

1055
01:12:45.640 --> 01:12:48.640
playing Bolattro and someone else wants to
play Residuaval for we could both do that

1056
01:12:48.920 --> 01:12:53.680
from my library. At the same
time, I'm personally excited about this because

1057
01:12:53.720 --> 01:12:57.840
my kids are gaming more and more
frequently, and sometimes I'll have games and

1058
01:12:57.880 --> 01:13:00.399
I'm like, yeah, but I'm
playing a review game on Steam kind of

1059
01:13:00.479 --> 01:13:03.199
constantly this weekend. And so when
you want to try to play Hotel Transylvania

1060
01:13:03.279 --> 01:13:06.119
on the Steam deck over there,
it's not going to work. I'm sorry

1061
01:13:06.159 --> 01:13:09.920
about that, and they don't understand
that. But now now it will.

1062
01:13:10.439 --> 01:13:13.800
And I have that second Steam deck
because I got the old litter and that's

1063
01:13:13.840 --> 01:13:15.199
the one I use. So I'm
gonna set that up for the kids and

1064
01:13:15.600 --> 01:13:17.600
have that ready to go. And
now they'll be able to play all my

1065
01:13:17.680 --> 01:13:20.159
games and I don't have to buy
them a second time. They could just

1066
01:13:20.239 --> 01:13:25.600
have their accounts on my family account. This is I'm actually super excited about

1067
01:13:25.600 --> 01:13:29.279
this, and I hope it's a
trend that like Nintendo follows with the switch

1068
01:13:29.439 --> 01:13:32.399
going forward, because that would be
helpful there as well. But this is

1069
01:13:32.479 --> 01:13:35.960
my circumstances. I don't know if
anyone else is caring about family sharing,

1070
01:13:36.079 --> 01:13:40.560
but hey, family can include friends, you know, found family is a

1071
01:13:40.640 --> 01:13:43.439
family, so people are going to
take advantage of this in a lot of

1072
01:13:43.439 --> 01:13:46.720
ways. So salute be familiar exactly. Yes, you could share games with

1073
01:13:46.880 --> 01:13:51.239
Vin Diesels. What I was trying
to say, Some coronas they believe that

1074
01:13:51.399 --> 01:13:56.560
at the end of the Fast in
the Furious ride in Universal, they don't

1075
01:13:56.680 --> 01:14:00.520
just have a stand selling coronas.
I don't believe that. Yeah, missed

1076
01:14:00.640 --> 01:14:06.039
opportunity in state park revenue history.
Sorry to change the subject. Yeah,

1077
01:14:06.399 --> 01:14:10.119
I don't know. I'll probably try
to wrote my brothers into this. Sure

1078
01:14:11.039 --> 01:14:14.239
felt could get on board with this. I feel like we could. We

1079
01:14:14.279 --> 01:14:16.039
could do this. Also, at
the end of the Jurassic Park ride at

1080
01:14:16.119 --> 01:14:20.079
Universal, there's Island New Bar,
which is great yes, yeah, that's

1081
01:14:20.119 --> 01:14:24.399
where you can you get that.
They have a special I PA made just

1082
01:14:24.479 --> 01:14:32.560
for them over there. God I
could now apparently that's it all right.

1083
01:14:33.119 --> 01:14:38.119
New Xbox Deaf kit appears in South
Korea. A new Xbox development kit has

1084
01:14:38.159 --> 01:14:44.399
received certification in South Korea, suggesting
ongoing advancements in Microsoft's gaming strategy. Uh,

1085
01:14:44.800 --> 01:14:47.319
we don't know what this is in
terms of like what is new here,

1086
01:14:47.880 --> 01:14:50.960
but people have identified this. It
is a new dev kit, it's

1087
01:14:50.960 --> 01:14:54.880
got a new like designation number,
all this other stuff. But in terms

1088
01:14:54.920 --> 01:14:57.600
of like, oh is this for
actual new hardware? What is this?

1089
01:14:57.840 --> 01:15:01.680
What is does this unlock for developers? It's unclear right now. There is

1090
01:15:02.520 --> 01:15:09.279
ongoing rumors that Microsoft is developing both
a handheld and well it's not a rumor.

1091
01:15:09.319 --> 01:15:12.239
They confirm they're making an next gen
Xbox that's going to be the most

1092
01:15:12.279 --> 01:15:15.880
powerful leap ever from one generation to
the next. And then they said they

1093
01:15:15.920 --> 01:15:19.279
would have hardware news this holiday one
way or the other. And of course

1094
01:15:19.319 --> 01:15:24.399
we know from the FTC weeks that
Microsoft was working on a revision of the

1095
01:15:24.560 --> 01:15:28.880
Xbox series X that would have been
have more storage, no disk drive,

1096
01:15:29.560 --> 01:15:33.680
was going to be cylindrical instead of
rectangular. So they're working on a bunch

1097
01:15:33.680 --> 01:15:38.960
of stuff constantly, but what does
this actually accomplish? Like, no one

1098
01:15:39.079 --> 01:15:45.600
knows exactly, so mysterious, And
the timing does line up with GDC,

1099
01:15:45.039 --> 01:15:47.640
so Microsoft could be talking to a
bunch of developers about, Hey, this

1100
01:15:47.760 --> 01:15:49.479
thing is out there, now,
let us know if you want one,

1101
01:15:50.039 --> 01:15:54.399
and maybe this holiday we get some
sort of update. I just don't know

1102
01:15:54.439 --> 01:15:57.760
why they would need a whole new
defcate if it's just an Xbox Serix X

1103
01:15:57.880 --> 01:16:00.640
with more storage. It does just
that maybe there's more going on here.

1104
01:16:01.239 --> 01:16:04.840
Yeah, you have to wonder how
much they're already losing the play station.

1105
01:16:05.039 --> 01:16:08.840
Just how much more ground are you
willing to give up to them if they're

1106
01:16:08.920 --> 01:16:15.720
going to do a full on mid
generation refresh like that. Right Again,

1107
01:16:15.800 --> 01:16:16.680
that part of me is like,
well, maybe it is smart to just

1108
01:16:16.800 --> 01:16:21.239
kind of could see the generation a
bit and maybe be first with the quote

1109
01:16:21.319 --> 01:16:26.439
unquote next generation and come out with
something that's going to be even more significantly

1110
01:16:26.520 --> 01:16:30.399
powerful than a place to five pro
and in the meantime you can have cute

1111
01:16:30.439 --> 01:16:33.680
things like a portable. Yeah,
but I don't know if they are willing

1112
01:16:33.760 --> 01:16:38.159
to be that patient about it.
You wouldn't need a whole new dev kit

1113
01:16:38.399 --> 01:16:43.439
if you're just making a portable device
to like ape this generation, right,

1114
01:16:44.640 --> 01:16:48.239
well, if you probably would if
a new new DevKit for a portable that

1115
01:16:48.560 --> 01:16:53.479
is going to have like some differences
in terms of how things work because it's

1116
01:16:53.479 --> 01:16:58.560
not going to have the exact same
GPU, they'd probably shrink it down to

1117
01:16:58.680 --> 01:17:00.720
be similar. They could do similar
architecture, but I think they would want

1118
01:17:00.760 --> 01:17:05.560
to have a bespoke deb kit that
takes advantage of what that hardware is.

1119
01:17:06.119 --> 01:17:08.920
I uh, I just don't.
I don't think that. But for the

1120
01:17:08.920 --> 01:17:11.359
record, I don't think this is
that this is too soon for a hand

1121
01:17:11.560 --> 01:17:15.359
or a quick tangent. I was
walking around Target the other day and I

1122
01:17:15.439 --> 01:17:18.600
was very confused when I popped by
the video game Ale because just out and

1123
01:17:18.680 --> 01:17:23.640
about from far away, it looked
like they just had a bunch of Xbox

1124
01:17:23.720 --> 01:17:28.479
three sixties just hanging out there.
I'm like, what the fuck has happened

1125
01:17:28.760 --> 01:17:31.880
here? Time travel? What happens? Yeah? I thought I did for

1126
01:17:31.960 --> 01:17:35.199
a second, and I was ready
to like abuse this time loop, but

1127
01:17:35.319 --> 01:17:41.319
then I on further inspection, it's
a Lego Xbox three sixty kit. Oh

1128
01:17:41.479 --> 01:17:45.199
sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't know they did that.

1129
01:17:45.520 --> 01:17:49.039
And I wait, he made the
trigger Xbox three sixty out of Legos.

1130
01:17:49.800 --> 01:17:54.479
Yeah, I don't know if it's
a functional shoot Xbox. I don't think

1131
01:17:54.720 --> 01:18:00.880
that even get to make a Halo
three case. Oh yeah, one hundred

1132
01:18:00.880 --> 01:18:03.800
and fifty bucks, which for Lego
not bad. Yeah, it's always like

1133
01:18:03.920 --> 01:18:08.199
seven cents per brick, right,
that's usually like seven to eight cents per

1134
01:18:08.279 --> 01:18:15.760
brick. Oh even Mega Blocks right
now, Why it's so cheap? It's

1135
01:18:15.880 --> 01:18:21.800
so cheap at home? I think
it's always been with Mega Blocks, man.

1136
01:18:23.039 --> 01:18:26.239
Yeah, I don't know why.
Immediately, I'm not interested anymore.

1137
01:18:26.279 --> 01:18:28.880
I'm a bad person. It's not
the brand I care about. I was

1138
01:18:28.880 --> 01:18:33.800
always so upset in my youth that
uh, Star Trek was with Mega Blocks

1139
01:18:33.840 --> 01:18:38.680
as they never let that good and
all the Star Wars Legos are amazing.

1140
01:18:38.760 --> 01:18:41.600
But I think I look at you
a bad persons. I think Lego is

1141
01:18:41.720 --> 01:18:45.600
better than Mega Blocks, right,
yeah. So it's like Rose Art and

1142
01:18:45.680 --> 01:18:48.520
Crayola. Yeah, I mean Rose
Art. The formula is just straight up

1143
01:18:48.560 --> 01:18:50.920
worse than Crayola. What were you
going to do? It was two waxy

1144
01:18:51.000 --> 01:18:55.239
you could get a good line.
It didn't matter that you got more crayons.

1145
01:18:55.359 --> 01:18:58.279
Those crayons were garbage. Yeah,
it was quantity for quality. That

1146
01:18:58.399 --> 01:19:00.720
was what they prioritize. They just
get if you could draw even a little

1147
01:19:00.760 --> 01:19:04.159
bit, they'd give you those garbage
art kids with absolutely nothing useful in them.

1148
01:19:04.520 --> 01:19:09.960
You get like fifty every birthday.
They even though they added four more

1149
01:19:10.039 --> 01:19:14.039
shades of brown than Crayola, none
of them were still my skin complexion.

1150
01:19:14.239 --> 01:19:20.520
Wow, fucked up. SNK fully
reveals Fatal Fury City of the Wolves with

1151
01:19:20.720 --> 01:19:26.119
twenty twenty five release confirmed. This
is something that they talked about previously,

1152
01:19:26.199 --> 01:19:28.600
but now we actually get to look
and see what this game is and they

1153
01:19:28.640 --> 01:19:32.199
confirmed it's actually coming out. It
is the new fighting game. It looks

1154
01:19:32.479 --> 01:19:36.600
really really cool. It looks pretty
similar to S and K's recent fighters,

1155
01:19:36.640 --> 01:19:40.760
like King of Fighters, but I
think there's you know, like that means

1156
01:19:40.800 --> 01:19:45.000
like the comic book elements, the
sort of street fighter like streaks of animation

1157
01:19:45.479 --> 01:19:48.840
that happen. But I think it
looks fantastic and I'm like, oh yeah,

1158
01:19:48.920 --> 01:19:53.119
Fatal Fury like that, the fact
that this is back and they're making

1159
01:19:53.199 --> 01:19:57.199
a real deal, like what looks
like top tier fighting game based on Fatal

1160
01:19:57.239 --> 01:20:00.840
Fur again. We are officially back
with fighting games. Fighting games are back.

1161
01:20:00.920 --> 01:20:02.359
We've done it, everybody, we
made it. I'm so happy we're

1162
01:20:02.399 --> 01:20:11.680
here. I'm very excited for for
this one. I played Garu, which

1163
01:20:11.760 --> 01:20:17.000
was the last main fatal Theory Yeah, yeah, camera quite a while ago.

1164
01:20:17.119 --> 01:20:20.520
It's a very good game. So
very excited that we are getting this.

1165
01:20:20.680 --> 01:20:25.319
I think it looks like a ton
of fun. I still don't love

1166
01:20:25.399 --> 01:20:29.119
the way the MODERESTA game S and
K games look with like it's just three

1167
01:20:29.199 --> 01:20:31.680
D models and they're trying to stylize
it a bit more here is more,

1168
01:20:33.640 --> 01:20:36.960
but man, if there's like one
of these fighting companies that maybe should just

1169
01:20:38.039 --> 01:20:40.920
be using pixel arts. Still,
I kind of wish it was S and

1170
01:20:41.000 --> 01:20:43.840
K because you know, like it
it just doesn't look as good as a

1171
01:20:43.880 --> 01:20:46.479
Street Fighter six or even an ARC
System Work game. Of course, those

1172
01:20:46.479 --> 01:20:49.960
are maybe Arga and Pete with and
it doesn't matter that much. The game

1173
01:20:50.039 --> 01:20:53.720
looks like a ton of fun.
I'm very excited. Am I ever going

1174
01:20:53.800 --> 01:20:58.319
to get another Bloody Roar game?
No? I probably not, but at

1175
01:20:58.359 --> 01:21:01.640
this point it's like, it's uh
nuts. I mean, you could get

1176
01:21:01.680 --> 01:21:04.239
something very much inspired by it,
because I feel like it feels like we're

1177
01:21:04.279 --> 01:21:09.880
in the the high tide for fighting
games where all these big companies are making

1178
01:21:10.119 --> 01:21:13.319
so bringing back a lot of their
franchises and doing stuff with that. And

1179
01:21:13.439 --> 01:21:15.079
then I think we will get to
the point where it's like and then all

1180
01:21:15.119 --> 01:21:18.680
the indies dep developers inspired by this
wave will start looking around and being like,

1181
01:21:18.720 --> 01:21:21.079
well, I wish they would make
this, And I think some fam

1182
01:21:21.159 --> 01:21:25.720
will make something inspired by Bloody War. Uh. Yeah, you know,

1183
01:21:25.800 --> 01:21:28.279
we so need to see a bit
more of that three D game revival,

1184
01:21:28.319 --> 01:21:30.840
which I hope is happening with Teking
eight success. Uh. You know,

1185
01:21:31.279 --> 01:21:35.079
if when we see Virtual Fighter come
back, that's gonna be a good sign

1186
01:21:35.119 --> 01:21:38.640
there. And what does see Dead
or Alive come back? And you know,

1187
01:21:38.880 --> 01:21:44.760
very few others before we get back
to Bloody Roar but maybe sorry,

1188
01:21:44.760 --> 01:21:47.399
I'm just doing a pull for Sean
real quick. There we go like a

1189
01:21:47.479 --> 01:21:51.800
dragon Infinite Wealth's sales surprise its studio. Why am I insane? Why did

1190
01:21:51.880 --> 01:21:55.600
I do this time? It's just
with what Sean said, I'm just doing

1191
01:21:55.800 --> 01:22:00.880
his bidding here. Masa Yoshi Yoka
Yama. Capcom three is an ugly game.

1192
01:22:01.000 --> 01:22:03.439
I think people, I don't think
this is as hard to take.

1193
01:22:03.800 --> 01:22:06.680
As Sean thinks it is. It's
fine that we disagree on this, but

1194
01:22:06.840 --> 01:22:13.119
his position is that I am crazy
for thinking that marvsus Cockcom three is not

1195
01:22:13.359 --> 01:22:15.800
a particularly pretty game. I don't
like the look of it either. Don't

1196
01:22:15.800 --> 01:22:20.439
worry, Mike, thank you,
Thank you very much, friend, and

1197
01:22:20.720 --> 01:22:27.880
chat as well, Mike. If
it well sold really well, and it's

1198
01:22:27.880 --> 01:22:30.920
surprising the developer, They're like,
I think they it's growing from game to

1199
01:22:31.000 --> 01:22:33.800
game, but I think this one
really popped off much more quickly than they

1200
01:22:33.840 --> 01:22:38.159
were expecting. And now they're like, oh, wow, okay, this

1201
01:22:38.760 --> 01:22:42.960
is working. The strategy of doubling
down on these new characters, giving a

1202
01:22:43.039 --> 01:22:46.760
full sendoff to cure you that is
something people really really want to see and

1203
01:22:46.960 --> 01:22:51.079
it's paying off. So ye,
it defied their expectations, I imagine.

1204
01:22:51.399 --> 01:22:55.039
And I don't think this is some
you know, I'm not really out there

1205
01:22:55.359 --> 01:22:58.920
walking on the edge here. They're
probably going to keep making like a Dragon

1206
01:22:59.000 --> 01:23:00.399
games. They've done it for the
song. They're not going to abandon it

1207
01:23:00.520 --> 01:23:05.439
now. Yeah. Absolutely, they
should remake more of them. They should

1208
01:23:05.479 --> 01:23:11.239
do a bunch. I bet having
these games on game Pass so so many

1209
01:23:11.319 --> 01:23:15.239
more people got into this series eight
Ton, there was just a lot more

1210
01:23:15.319 --> 01:23:18.199
excitement, it seemed like, going
into this one, even with like weird

1211
01:23:18.239 --> 01:23:23.439
things like there were a couple remakes
and spin offs leading into this one that

1212
01:23:23.479 --> 01:23:26.600
didn't the way it got a whole
lot of excitement, but people still kind

1213
01:23:26.640 --> 01:23:32.880
of understood the difference of importance with
this mainline entry and they got very excited

1214
01:23:32.920 --> 01:23:35.560
for even you know, when things
were pretty crowded, there were a lot

1215
01:23:35.640 --> 01:23:41.560
of January February releases happening, and
this one still was able to stand out

1216
01:23:41.760 --> 01:23:44.399
pretty well. I want them to
time travel on the next one. I

1217
01:23:44.479 --> 01:23:46.760
want I want cure you to like
just pop up in a different era and

1218
01:23:46.880 --> 01:23:49.880
just be very I feel like Saints
Row three Saints Roe four with the next

1219
01:23:49.920 --> 01:23:55.640
one, get real weird, real
weird. Yeah, future past, past,

1220
01:23:55.880 --> 01:24:00.000
definitely the past. I like that
Nancy Drew game where she's just inexpectable

1221
01:24:00.239 --> 01:24:03.680
in the forties. That makes sense, thirties something like that. It'd be

1222
01:24:03.760 --> 01:24:06.880
like that, no explanation. He
doesn't even have to time travel like in

1223
01:24:08.000 --> 01:24:11.920
the game, he's just in a
different era. Oh yeah, we can

1224
01:24:11.960 --> 01:24:14.640
get care of you. Go back
to nineteen thirties New York, like that

1225
01:24:14.720 --> 01:24:17.880
episode of Star Trek. Yeah.
Yeah, and then when he doesn't look

1226
01:24:17.960 --> 01:24:20.520
for for Hitler to kill him before
it takes power, It's like, why

1227
01:24:20.640 --> 01:24:24.840
what are you doing? Why aren't
you killing Hitler? I'm going to tell

1228
01:24:24.920 --> 01:24:28.039
him that, like Hitler has to
live something. Yeah, it's right,

1229
01:24:29.119 --> 01:24:34.239
it's very important to JK rely Yeah, okay, so that like a Dragon

1230
01:24:34.279 --> 01:24:39.840
Infuit Wealth It's trailer debuted at Summer
Game Fest last year. That trailer was

1231
01:24:40.159 --> 01:24:43.520
really good. People are like,
like, what is going on here?

1232
01:24:43.560 --> 01:24:45.680
If you've never been into that series
before, that was like, it was

1233
01:24:45.840 --> 01:24:48.239
very enticing. I think people are
like, I am going to check this

1234
01:24:48.319 --> 01:24:51.560
out. I'm going to remember it
the naked guy in Hawaii. I'm not

1235
01:24:51.600 --> 01:24:55.199
going to forget about that. So
when that game comes around and people are

1236
01:24:55.239 --> 01:24:58.239
like, here's the naked guy in
Hawaii game and glad, people are like,

1237
01:24:58.319 --> 01:25:00.840
yeah, I've heard my friends talking
about like a before. I'm gonna

1238
01:25:00.880 --> 01:25:03.119
check this out. Yeah. I
think the other trailer that they released after

1239
01:25:03.239 --> 01:25:09.479
that one where it's it just features
uh don Doco Island was also very effective

1240
01:25:09.520 --> 01:25:14.279
of like, yes, what is
this game? Is this animal crossing?

1241
01:25:15.199 --> 01:25:18.560
And there's a wall trailer and like
feature overview for one of the mini games

1242
01:25:18.720 --> 01:25:25.600
and Dragon if in in weal uh
US game spending could be down ten percent

1243
01:25:25.720 --> 01:25:30.479
this year. My market research firm
Sircana forecast a potential ten percent decline in

1244
01:25:30.600 --> 01:25:33.920
US consumer spending on games for the
year twenty twenty four. Analyst and friend

1245
01:25:34.000 --> 01:25:39.439
of the site, Matt Piscatella indicates
significant uncertainty in the market due to factors

1246
01:25:39.520 --> 01:25:45.039
like delayed hardware releases, lack of
established blockbusters from Sony, and unpredictability in

1247
01:25:45.199 --> 01:25:47.720
game development. And we kind of
understand many of these factors here. The

1248
01:25:47.920 --> 01:25:55.680
delayed hardware the Switch to was by
all accounts, supposed to launch this year.

1249
01:25:56.000 --> 01:26:00.520
Now it's not coming out until next
year. There is also so Posoni

1250
01:26:00.600 --> 01:26:06.359
confirming no sequels to establish Triple A
video Games for this entire fiscal year through

1251
01:26:06.439 --> 01:26:10.439
the end of March. Those factors, and then you wigh against like,

1252
01:26:10.520 --> 01:26:15.680
Okay, last year, had Zelda
had Harry Potter games, they'd sold very

1253
01:26:15.880 --> 01:26:18.920
very well, and there are games
selling very very well this year, but

1254
01:26:19.039 --> 01:26:24.520
it is stuff like Hell Divers two
and Pow World, which could cost about

1255
01:26:24.560 --> 01:26:27.800
half the price of what Harry Potter
cost, or Zelda A Tiers of the

1256
01:26:27.880 --> 01:26:30.479
Kingdom. So less money has coming
in even though people are just as interested

1257
01:26:30.520 --> 01:26:33.439
in buying video games, so the
comparisons are going to be pretty tough.

1258
01:26:33.560 --> 01:26:36.399
And by the end of the year, Matt says it, it's like it

1259
01:26:36.399 --> 01:26:40.720
could be a down around two percent, but the worst case scenario could be

1260
01:26:40.800 --> 01:26:44.359
down as much as ten percent for
this year, and that is what many

1261
01:26:44.359 --> 01:26:46.640
of these big publishers are worried about. So that's why we've seen many of

1262
01:26:46.720 --> 01:26:50.319
them freak out and kind of over
overcorrect in a lot of ways. Yeah,

1263
01:26:50.760 --> 01:26:55.520
I'm glad that we're panicking and cutting
staff so that we will continue to

1264
01:26:55.640 --> 01:27:00.199
have problems releasing enough games in the
future. So that's great, right,

1265
01:27:00.279 --> 01:27:02.760
And that's one of the reasons that
year's down is because there's gonna be fewer

1266
01:27:02.880 --> 01:27:06.159
games, right, So it's like
making fewer games. How is that the

1267
01:27:06.239 --> 01:27:10.800
answer here? But kind of weird
cycle. I don't think they understand how

1268
01:27:10.880 --> 01:27:15.800
it works, and it's like,
it's like that it is how it works

1269
01:27:15.840 --> 01:27:18.039
here, because what we're talking about
is the spending is going to be down

1270
01:27:18.159 --> 01:27:23.159
because the games that are selling cost
less. If people were excited about a

1271
01:27:23.760 --> 01:27:27.640
seventy dollars game, they would be
buying that. People are still just as

1272
01:27:27.680 --> 01:27:30.199
excited about video games as they were
a couple of years ago for the for

1273
01:27:30.279 --> 01:27:34.640
the most part, and these companies
are just not putting out stuff to really

1274
01:27:34.720 --> 01:27:39.159
capitalize on that, so they're missing
an opportunity and because of that, the

1275
01:27:39.279 --> 01:27:42.560
comparison's going to be down year to
year. But it's not like there's some

1276
01:27:43.279 --> 01:27:46.199
rushing out of the industry of millions
of players that were spending money on games

1277
01:27:46.439 --> 01:27:49.279
and now they have a new hobby
distracting them from that. That's not what's

1278
01:27:49.319 --> 01:27:55.159
happening here. Yeah, Like I
see so many normy friends talking about hell

1279
01:27:55.239 --> 01:27:59.520
Divers too and posting about hell Divers
too, yet no one even in like

1280
01:27:59.680 --> 01:28:03.880
you know, uh these games,
media, games, journalism, journalism circles

1281
01:28:04.359 --> 01:28:10.079
is talking anything about Skull and Bones
that's right now? Well, like yeah,

1282
01:28:10.119 --> 01:28:13.680
but it's like it's like good games
do well turns out? Huh,

1283
01:28:14.680 --> 01:28:17.159
Like yeah, I guess Suicide Squad
and Skull and Bones aren't doing great the

1284
01:28:17.279 --> 01:28:20.279
shocker. Yeah. Yeah, it's
so weird too. It's just the takeaway

1285
01:28:20.399 --> 01:28:25.560
is never like we should work harder
to make good, interesting games. It's

1286
01:28:25.560 --> 01:28:29.560
always just people aren't buying games anymore. I guess. No, it's not

1287
01:28:29.560 --> 01:28:33.520
even like working harder, it's just
like better decisions being made at the top,

1288
01:28:34.000 --> 01:28:40.359
Like why did we make a live
service suicide Squad game? Yeah?

1289
01:28:42.600 --> 01:28:45.760
Shareholders love live service games, Mike
Manaughty, don't you know that? Cool?

1290
01:28:46.159 --> 01:28:50.960
Oh, let's appease the shareholders.
Yeah, especially when the strongest parts

1291
01:28:51.039 --> 01:28:57.279
of any of those Arkham games was
when you hop online with your buddies and

1292
01:28:57.439 --> 01:29:02.920
you forget about Yeah, Batman and
the story of Batman where we drop in

1293
01:29:03.039 --> 01:29:10.199
Robin. Embracer confirms two hundred and
forty seven million dollars sale of Saber assets

1294
01:29:10.279 --> 01:29:15.600
and withdraws from Russia. That's an
Embracer is now no longer has any business

1295
01:29:15.680 --> 01:29:19.760
in Russia. Embracer Group is finalized
the sale of Saber Interactive, encompassing studios

1296
01:29:19.920 --> 01:29:24.920
like three D Realms and Slipkcate Ironworks. These are studios that were underneath of

1297
01:29:25.039 --> 01:29:29.680
Saber Interactive, which is a publisher
and a developer. Beacon Interactive provided the

1298
01:29:29.720 --> 01:29:32.800
two hundred and forty seven million dollars
to make this purchase. This move allows

1299
01:29:32.840 --> 01:29:38.520
Embracer to cease operations in Russia while
enhancing cash flow. By that they mean

1300
01:29:38.640 --> 01:29:43.239
actually just spending less money on the
people making their games. Beacon Interactive,

1301
01:29:43.319 --> 01:29:47.039
led by Saber Interactive co founder Matthew
Karch, plans to exercise an option to

1302
01:29:47.079 --> 01:29:53.640
acquire four A Games and Zen Studios
that's the Metro and that pinball developer,

1303
01:29:54.159 --> 01:29:59.199
but respectively, potentially increasing the deal's
value to five hundred million dollars total.

1304
01:29:59.720 --> 01:30:04.800
So so yeah, uh, the
Embracer bought Saber for five hundred million dollars

1305
01:30:04.880 --> 01:30:09.359
and basically they're just buying themselves back
out because Embracer's a nightmare. It's a

1306
01:30:09.399 --> 01:30:12.600
mess. And uh, Saber is
gonna have a series of games that are

1307
01:30:12.600 --> 01:30:15.359
probably gonna do pretty decent expeditions.
A mud Runner game is doing very well.

1308
01:30:16.000 --> 01:30:18.960
They're gonna they're gonna have Space Marine
two and these games that are that,

1309
01:30:19.560 --> 01:30:23.199
yeah, they can make them a
lot of money. But a park

1310
01:30:23.199 --> 01:30:27.560
game that looks sick exactly. Yeah, the one that's inspired by Alien Isolation.

1311
01:30:28.000 --> 01:30:29.640
These are a lot of things that's
like, oh, these could do

1312
01:30:29.720 --> 01:30:32.319
a million copies pretty easily. Some
of them could pop off to be even

1313
01:30:32.359 --> 01:30:35.720
bigger, bigger successes, especially if
they like catch on you know, on

1314
01:30:35.840 --> 01:30:41.399
the TikTok trends and on Twitch and
stuff like that. But under Embracer that

1315
01:30:41.439 --> 01:30:45.399
would not have made a dent in
their debt here as an independent studio a

1316
01:30:45.439 --> 01:30:48.720
slash publisher once again, Uh,
Saber can actually maybe get some wins and

1317
01:30:48.880 --> 01:30:55.079
start like focusing on expanding their business
in a responsible and meaningful way and not

1318
01:30:55.399 --> 01:31:00.479
just blindly acquiring everything around you the
way Embracer had. So good news for

1319
01:31:00.800 --> 01:31:04.159
Saber Interactive, a publisher that I
really respect. Where's this going with Embracer

1320
01:31:04.279 --> 01:31:08.159
is It's just like Race is gonna
and Brace is gonna keep it, keep

1321
01:31:08.199 --> 01:31:11.079
losing things, and so there just
isn't an Embracer anymore? Is there gonna

1322
01:31:11.119 --> 01:31:16.479
be some small shell shriveled in the
corner that we call Embracer that has a

1323
01:31:16.560 --> 01:31:19.319
few studios under it. Like what's
the end game? You think they've laundered

1324
01:31:19.439 --> 01:31:25.239
enough money? They laundered enough money? Yeah, if they have, then

1325
01:31:25.479 --> 01:31:30.359
maybe they'll start shrinking things down even
more. Uh Yeah, So I think

1326
01:31:30.680 --> 01:31:35.479
things like the deal with Microsoft to
help work on the Initiatives game, which

1327
01:31:35.560 --> 01:31:39.039
was Perfect Dark, right, Uh, work to work on Perfect Dark.

1328
01:31:39.079 --> 01:31:41.800
Like they'll keep that deal and then
they'll have them work on some other stuff.

1329
01:31:41.880 --> 01:31:45.439
The like tomb Raider deal, which
involves movies in television and a game

1330
01:31:45.520 --> 01:31:50.199
with Amazon that probably they probably see
stuff like that through. I think everything

1331
01:31:50.239 --> 01:31:55.399
else that doesn't have a rock solid, big money deal like that is on

1332
01:31:55.479 --> 01:31:58.600
the table to get cut or sold
off, Like they're going to sell off

1333
01:31:59.800 --> 01:32:01.840
the Borderland studio here prove priests.
I can never remember the name of them.

1334
01:32:01.840 --> 01:32:04.159
What's the name of the Borderline Gearbox? Why am I? Yeah?

1335
01:32:04.239 --> 01:32:09.520
Thank you, thank you? Gearbox. They're gonna sell remember, Yeah,

1336
01:32:09.720 --> 01:32:11.800
of course they are. And it's
like, well, you know, they're

1337
01:32:11.800 --> 01:32:15.199
not gonna keep Gearbox around. Everything
must be on the table, and I

1338
01:32:15.239 --> 01:32:17.720
think everything is. I think they'll
they'll sell off everything they can, and

1339
01:32:17.800 --> 01:32:20.319
then I think they'll probably close a
few more things that they can't sell off

1340
01:32:20.399 --> 01:32:25.199
because they just it's really miserable over
there. They really have no idea what

1341
01:32:25.279 --> 01:32:28.760
they're doing. They're gonna hold onto
Lord of the Rings. I never I

1342
01:32:28.840 --> 01:32:31.680
don't quite understand that. But they
own the Lord of the Rigs. Somehow

1343
01:32:32.239 --> 01:32:38.800
they acquired everything. No, they
acquired everything except for the publishing rights.

1344
01:32:39.039 --> 01:32:41.640
That's the Yeah, they don't have
the publishing rights for the books, I

1345
01:32:41.720 --> 01:32:47.439
think, but beyond that they own
everything else. So they go through they

1346
01:32:47.520 --> 01:32:53.239
own the Tom they own the copyright. Yeah, they own everything owned Tom

1347
01:32:53.319 --> 01:32:56.079
Bobadon. You want to make a
movie, TV show, you have to

1348
01:32:56.159 --> 01:33:00.560
go through them now. Basically,
man, that's so weird. That's on

1349
01:33:00.800 --> 01:33:03.439
fire. Oh the Lord of the
Rings. I never think about it,

1350
01:33:03.560 --> 01:33:08.079
but you're right, that is so
weird. It's so weird, so odd.

1351
01:33:09.039 --> 01:33:11.680
I know, I know a company
that probably would love to buy some

1352
01:33:11.800 --> 01:33:15.680
theme park rights to that stuff.
So maybe they should make that Lord of

1353
01:33:15.680 --> 01:33:20.720
the Rings from public domain because it
came out in like or the I mean,

1354
01:33:20.760 --> 01:33:25.560
the Hobbit was the twenties. I
think Lord of the Rings pretty closes.

1355
01:33:25.800 --> 01:33:29.960
Okay, so Hobbit's pretty close.
Then is the Hobbit going to enter

1356
01:33:30.039 --> 01:33:32.560
the public I guess I never thought
about it. We're going to make it.

1357
01:33:33.039 --> 01:33:38.560
They're gonna make a creepy pasta frodo
where his colors are inverted and his

1358
01:33:38.800 --> 01:33:47.680
head turns around real quick. Mike
Manaughti, Bailey Myers, how do you

1359
01:33:47.680 --> 01:33:51.720
feel about Winnie the Pooh? Love
them think he's great, Love that freak,

1360
01:33:51.840 --> 01:33:55.319
thank you's great. Love that he
doesn't wear pants? What a pervert

1361
01:33:55.439 --> 01:34:00.199
into it? Thank you? Yeah, they're they're going to turn that Winnie

1362
01:34:00.239 --> 01:34:04.640
the Poop Gifts store in Credit Country
in Disneyland to be versus the Frog theme

1363
01:34:04.680 --> 01:34:09.800
because of the Splash Mountain overlay.
But they are saving the Winnie the Pooh

1364
01:34:09.880 --> 01:34:13.760
candy section, which is important to
me. I love when the Poo's Great

1365
01:34:13.800 --> 01:34:17.319
Adventure is the best of Disney's direct
to video output in the nineties. Check

1366
01:34:17.359 --> 01:34:23.359
out Pooh's Great Adventure on Disney Plus. Should say it. It rules,

1367
01:34:23.359 --> 01:34:26.640
It's so good, great songs.
It's like the one way the Poop movie

1368
01:34:26.680 --> 01:34:30.600
that kind of like has like an
actual plot and maybe steaks. Oh,

1369
01:34:30.720 --> 01:34:33.560
it's good. That one's great.
It's somehow even better than a Laddin King

1370
01:34:33.640 --> 01:34:40.319
of Thieves, even though a yeah, very good thieves king. Yeah this

1371
01:34:40.399 --> 01:34:43.640
is his dad. They're talking about
Welcome to the forty Thieves, the one.

1372
01:34:45.119 --> 01:34:47.439
Maybe I'll last to fly early before
SGF so I can sneak in a

1373
01:34:47.560 --> 01:34:53.079
Disney trip. I was gonna look
I now, but like there's like you

1374
01:34:53.159 --> 01:34:56.760
guys like before summer game fests.
Anybody want to go to Disneyland with Yeah,

1375
01:34:56.840 --> 01:35:01.600
kind of like much Minati, we
haven't been to Disneyland. I forget

1376
01:35:01.640 --> 01:35:04.479
these other chuts, Like, let's
go to Disneyland together. Mike Manatti.

1377
01:35:04.840 --> 01:35:10.239
Yeah, but I see them too, Jane. I think if we go

1378
01:35:10.359 --> 01:35:13.279
we can get fandom to pay for
it. Like listen, we have that

1379
01:35:13.439 --> 01:35:16.079
sway. You know what I need
to do. I gotta find somebody you

1380
01:35:16.159 --> 01:35:18.680
can get me into Club thirty three. I gotta make that. That's a

1381
01:35:18.880 --> 01:35:21.640
big one on the Bucke list.
You gotta make that happen. Michael Manati,

1382
01:35:23.399 --> 01:35:27.439
Yeah, I've been to Club thirty
Come true. Jan, you make

1383
01:35:27.479 --> 01:35:32.199
my dreams come true. You got
when you ship part of Jan makes difference.

1384
01:35:32.640 --> 01:35:35.800
Last story here, this is the
last star we're doing. Riven remake

1385
01:35:35.920 --> 01:35:41.399
launches in twenty twenty four for PC
and VR. Oh uh. Scion has

1386
01:35:41.439 --> 01:35:45.880
announced the launch of the Riven the
Sequel to miss which is the official name

1387
01:35:45.079 --> 01:35:50.640
Riven the Sequel to Miss a remake
for PC basically like PC like flat screens

1388
01:35:50.680 --> 01:35:54.520
two D and they're also gonna do
it for virtual reality something. I think

1389
01:35:54.560 --> 01:35:58.680
they did do that with Missed,
right, Yeah, twenty twenty Science did

1390
01:35:58.720 --> 01:36:01.800
the same sect thing with Missed.
That remake was very well received one airstand

1391
01:36:02.039 --> 01:36:04.840
for one thing, you know,
these games were kind of points and move

1392
01:36:05.000 --> 01:36:09.640
kind of things, even before we
were doing that in VR. The remake

1393
01:36:09.920 --> 01:36:13.079
recreates the world in actual like three
D space. You can actually just walk

1394
01:36:13.159 --> 01:36:17.680
around and stuff instead. Uh yeah, I'm excited. I Riven is the

1395
01:36:17.800 --> 01:36:24.720
game that I have not played that
I think about the most side. I

1396
01:36:25.079 --> 01:36:28.560
always I like that name. For
one thing. That box art was always

1397
01:36:28.640 --> 01:36:31.039
very striking. There was like this
big balbous orb. It kind of looked

1398
01:36:31.079 --> 01:36:38.119
like one of those eggs from Alien
but more more circular. How much missed

1399
01:36:38.159 --> 01:36:41.920
Lord? Do you know a good
amount? Because my order brother was very

1400
01:36:42.000 --> 01:36:45.199
much into me. Could you recount
any of it in a way that makes

1401
01:36:45.239 --> 01:36:47.079
it sound truly unhinged? Because whenever
someone tries to explain it to me,

1402
01:36:47.239 --> 01:36:49.840
I think it sounds unhinged. Yeah, there's a guy who makes books and

1403
01:36:49.920 --> 01:36:54.800
the books contain worlds, and he
has two sons and they kind of want

1404
01:36:54.840 --> 01:36:58.840
to like get in on this world
stuff. So but that's still good.

1405
01:36:58.880 --> 01:37:02.279
So he my god, I'm like, yeah, So they're trapped in the

1406
01:37:02.359 --> 01:37:06.560
bucks and you go to the island
and then the old guys like you find

1407
01:37:06.600 --> 01:37:09.920
the suns that are like, I'm
not evil, you should let me out

1408
01:37:09.920 --> 01:37:14.880
of the books, and like maybe
you shouldn't do that. All right,

1409
01:37:15.079 --> 01:37:18.319
Well, there you go. Everybody. Oh final headlines. Sonic and Angerbirds

1410
01:37:18.359 --> 01:37:23.880
are crossing over in five mobile games
starting this week. I think, why

1411
01:37:23.960 --> 01:37:28.279
were you going over that? I
don't know. This is the crossover event

1412
01:37:28.359 --> 01:37:32.680
of the century. Ideologize not a
big mobile game news this week. Yeah,

1413
01:37:33.359 --> 01:37:38.119
I just mobile as well. There
you go. Yeah, I'm sure

1414
01:37:38.199 --> 01:37:43.560
Angry Birds are still making money,
but like enough Sega from buying them though,

1415
01:37:43.640 --> 01:37:45.680
I mean Sega bought Rovio, so
yeah, how much money could they

1416
01:37:45.680 --> 01:37:50.399
really be making they're not making?
Yo. Imagine if Red the Angry Bird

1417
01:37:50.479 --> 01:37:57.079
pops up in Sonic three, Oh
my god, it would be so messed

1418
01:37:57.119 --> 01:38:01.039
up. And the tails Zegger It's
like I'm his friend that flies. Uh

1419
01:38:01.359 --> 01:38:06.640
yeah. Sonic dash Wall players can
collect exclusive Red and Chuck character cards while

1420
01:38:06.720 --> 01:38:13.279
dashing through levels. Angry Birds to
the Tower of Fortune offers eight new Sonic

1421
01:38:13.399 --> 01:38:17.399
Friends hats, fully upgradeable to increase
flock power. You guys, want to

1422
01:38:17.399 --> 01:38:24.720

1423
01:38:24.840 --> 01:38:30.239

Angry Birds Friends Sonic assists players and taking

1424
01:38:30.319 --> 01:38:35.279
down bad bad Piggies in a special
tournament. Come on, man, Sonic

1425
01:38:36.920 --> 01:38:41.720

new movie. Not the bad Piggies though,

1426
01:38:41.880 --> 01:38:45.479
come on, oh my god,
Bailey, My god, Daily Jesus,

1427
01:38:48.039 --> 01:39:00.880
that was incredible. Wow. Strike
fucking Psyclo, my diet coke and

1428
01:39:00.000 --> 01:39:04.800
I'm sharp now. I'm ready for
the podcast. Everybody, jan the show

1429
01:39:04.960 --> 01:39:09.800
is back to you. Please save
us. I will not stand for any

1430
01:39:09.960 --> 01:39:14.520
James Marsden slander. He is on. He's on a renaissance of his career.

1431
01:39:14.640 --> 01:39:18.039
I've been watching a lot of James
Marsden as mars denissance. Uh.

1432
01:39:18.319 --> 01:39:21.720
He's really good on Jury Duty.
I liked him in season one in The

1433
01:39:21.800 --> 01:39:30.600
West World. Great joke, Bailey
character like that. Try that in a

1434
01:39:30.680 --> 01:39:34.039
small town song. Though. I'm
sorry. He's so good and enchanted,

1435
01:39:34.039 --> 01:39:38.359
and I love Jerry Duty. I'm
a big James Marriston fan. He's very

1436
01:39:38.399 --> 01:39:42.920
good and enchanted. I'm still on
the fence about his portrayal of Cyclops,

1437
01:39:43.000 --> 01:39:45.920
but that's the whole whole of those
movies. That's not his fault. It's

1438
01:39:46.000 --> 01:39:49.960
not his fault. All right,
We're gonna go take quick, pricky break

1439

and we will be back with yours
emails. Play the music me emails.

1440

01:40:09.880 --> 01:40:15.199

instantanely message someone and ask about stuff in

1442
01:40:15.359 --> 01:40:20.319
instantaneously instantaneously, we knew what you
meant, Jane, don't worry about it.

1443
01:40:20.920 --> 01:40:24.920
Look, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

1453
01:41:00.560 --> 01:41:09.880
for Skyline Chili. Well, oh
yeah, we were on a horoscope mailing

1454
01:41:09.920 --> 01:41:14.520
list for a while, but I
had to unsubscribe us from that because it

1455
01:41:14.560 --> 01:41:18.600
started talking about crystals. Oh mans, crystals. Crystal News is the most

1456
01:41:18.600 --> 01:41:23.039
important. Do we still get the
ones for Blaze TV? What's Glenn Beck

1457
01:41:23.119 --> 01:41:26.439
up to? No? I unsubscribed
us from that, but we I was

1458
01:41:26.520 --> 01:41:31.720
looking back and we did get invited
to what's it called? There was a

1459
01:41:31.800 --> 01:41:36.359
Tom Brady movie that came out last
year, eighty for Brady. We got

1460
01:41:36.359 --> 01:41:43.840
invited to eighty for Brady. Prere
Jan what this is what happened? This

1461
01:41:43.960 --> 01:41:47.880
is what happens? Yeah, I
thought about bringing it up to the crew.

1462
01:41:47.960 --> 01:41:49.560
I'm like, oh no, what's
gonna want her to do? This

1463
01:41:53.720 --> 01:41:57.119
would have done that, This would
have been met Gronk. This would have

1464
01:41:57.159 --> 01:42:01.960
been my ticket into Hollywood. Imagine
I invade Hollywood and become a Dalist actor

1465
01:42:02.319 --> 01:42:05.600
because of my involvement in eighty for
Brady. Could have been there. I

1466
01:42:05.760 --> 01:42:09.640
just want to be in one lifetime
movie. Let me do that, guys

1467
01:42:10.079 --> 01:42:15.560
anyway. First email comes from Luke
from Hamilton, Ontario. Subject reads The

1468
01:42:15.680 --> 01:42:21.760
Prindle and other Brainworms. Greetings Bombinos. Ever since I heard Jan casually referencing

1469
01:42:21.840 --> 01:42:26.439
the Prindle shouts out to mister Mosby
on the pod a couple of weeks ago,

1470
01:42:26.560 --> 01:42:29.840
it's had me wondering what other one
off jokes, need, TV show,

1471
01:42:30.000 --> 01:42:33.199
movie, other piece of media not
wrestling, immediately entered your lexicon and

1472
01:42:33.279 --> 01:42:38.079
got stuck there permanently, much to
the confusion of ninety eight percent of the

1473
01:42:38.239 --> 01:42:41.199
rest of the world. Thanks for
all the great content that keeps me vaguely

1474
01:42:41.239 --> 01:42:45.079
saying at work. Luke from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, sent from Mister

1475
01:42:45.159 --> 01:42:49.319
Bones's Wild Ride. I did make
a snipe joke the other day, which

1476
01:42:49.359 --> 01:42:53.920
I know is a thing, but
I'm mostly thinking about the episode of Cheers

1477
01:42:54.000 --> 01:42:59.399
when I was bringing that one up
to Dan and his bird app For me,

1478
01:42:59.479 --> 01:43:02.680
this is like, like everything is
Seinfeld, Like Seinfeld has so many

1479
01:43:02.720 --> 01:43:06.439
of these, like close talker and
man hands uh and things like that.

1480
01:43:06.600 --> 01:43:12.279
There's a ton one at a time. Yeah, I'll still I'll use close

1481
01:43:12.359 --> 01:43:15.199
talker and things like that in like
regular conversation, but those are I think

1482
01:43:15.199 --> 01:43:19.279
I've like actually infiltrated the lexicon,
the public a lexicon to the plant where

1483
01:43:19.279 --> 01:43:24.640
everyone gets those I do from,
you know, speaking of mister Moseby and

1484
01:43:24.720 --> 01:43:28.760
how I met your mother. Whenever
someone says something like, oh is it

1485
01:43:28.800 --> 01:43:30.760
a different mister Moseby? What is
it? What was that one? Then?

1486
01:43:30.880 --> 01:43:32.439
Sweet Life of Zach and Cody.
How could you forget? How could

1487
01:43:32.479 --> 01:43:38.920
you not watch Zach Cody jel for
that one? Okay, what about on

1488
01:43:39.079 --> 01:43:46.920
deck? Weirdly life on deck?
So I'm just record, I'm reckoning with

1489
01:43:47.000 --> 01:43:51.880
my age here, mister Moseby,
mister Ted Moseby. Uh in how I

1490
01:43:51.920 --> 01:43:57.600
met your mother would be like the
general whenever someone use the word general before

1491
01:43:57.680 --> 01:44:00.800
something. So whenever I hear that
now, I also do like the salute,

1492
01:44:00.560 --> 01:44:03.239
just in my brain, not like
actually physically, because that'd be deeply

1493
01:44:03.279 --> 01:44:06.880
embarrassing, but I do physically want
to do it every time I hear someone

1494
01:44:06.960 --> 01:44:11.560
say something like that. Yeah,
I watched Parks and rec a lot my

1495
01:44:11.640 --> 01:44:15.640
friends and they had that treat yourself
thing. We say, treat yourself a

1496
01:44:15.680 --> 01:44:17.640
lot. One day we actually had
to treat yourself day, and like,

1497
01:44:17.920 --> 01:44:20.359
I think that same week we had
another treat yourself day. It was just

1498
01:44:20.399 --> 01:44:24.079
like an excuse for us to eat
whenever we would it. And our other

1499
01:44:24.199 --> 01:44:27.319
friend I had to be like,
guys, you've been you've been treating yourself

1500
01:44:27.359 --> 01:44:30.439
too much, like a special day
where you donate any fruits and vegetables.

1501
01:44:31.479 --> 01:44:39.199
Okay, all right, look at
that, I'm drinking a diet green tea,

1502
01:44:39.319 --> 01:44:45.800
citrus. There's probably fruit juice in
this fruit involved, fruit involved pictures

1503
01:44:45.840 --> 01:44:49.279
of fruits. Your favorite fruit,
citric acid. That's my favorite vibe.

1504
01:44:49.600 --> 01:44:54.079
Can I be my favorite fruit?
To sack out? It's great in Margarita's.

1505
01:44:54.439 --> 01:44:58.960
Sure there we go. Yeah.
Going off of Parks and w REC,

1506
01:45:00.680 --> 01:45:06.800
I started copying all of Tom Haverford's
like little extra words like I instead

1507
01:45:06.800 --> 01:45:11.119
of saying chicken parm, I go
chicky chicky parm parm. It's pretty dead.

1508
01:45:11.399 --> 01:45:14.880
Yeah, like food rates, yes, Tom Haverford Energy. And then

1509
01:45:14.920 --> 01:45:17.399
I think I started doing that too
much in my day to day that I

1510
01:45:17.479 --> 01:45:24.319
will occasionally infect Jeff Backlar's lexicon and
then it'll annoy the crap out of DIB

1511
01:45:24.680 --> 01:45:30.359
and it's like, Dad, just
say the word. I also think about

1512
01:45:30.439 --> 01:45:34.600
in Parks and Rec when the Adam
Scott character is like was laid off,

1513
01:45:34.720 --> 01:45:39.520
so he spends his time making stop
Bullshit filmed, and he like shows it

1514
01:45:39.560 --> 01:45:43.760
to bed and he's like, the
words are what a depressed person to make

1515
01:45:44.000 --> 01:45:47.239
this? Yeah, But me and
my friend say that a lot to chill.

1516
01:45:47.600 --> 01:45:51.640
We're chilling our personal projects. I
don't know. I feel like I

1517
01:45:51.720 --> 01:45:56.520
feel like just because I did a
full rewatch of The Nanny recently. Now

1518
01:45:56.760 --> 01:46:00.479
all a lot of the time will
go like meanwhile, like that, like

1519
01:46:00.640 --> 01:46:04.039
I can't stop doing it, and
no one knows I'm referencing that show because

1520
01:46:04.039 --> 01:46:09.880
they say meanwhile all the time,
and but they do. They say all

1521
01:46:09.960 --> 01:46:12.159
the time, and once you notice
it, you can't stop noticing it.

1522
01:46:12.239 --> 01:46:14.760
If you play an any drinking game, you drink anytime to say meanwhile,

1523
01:46:14.840 --> 01:46:18.800
you'll die Like it's great. It's
like because there are there are some from

1524
01:46:18.840 --> 01:46:21.119
these shows that if I heard,
I think I would slap the person,

1525
01:46:21.319 --> 01:46:24.920
like if somebody came up to me
I was trying to do how I Met

1526
01:46:24.960 --> 01:46:29.000
your Mother, like it's gonna be
wait for it, Oh my god,

1527
01:46:29.279 --> 01:46:32.359
I think I would just actually smack
him across with leave. I would just

1528
01:46:32.439 --> 01:46:38.119
die and leave, Like no,
absolutely not. I I may have been

1529
01:46:38.199 --> 01:46:44.239
that person in a different life back
in we were Actually an obvious one that

1530
01:46:44.359 --> 01:46:48.279
we referenced earlier in this episode is
from I Think you should leave the we're

1531
01:46:48.279 --> 01:46:53.119
all trying to find the guy who
did this. Oh there, that's just

1532
01:46:53.399 --> 01:47:00.279
language. That's I'm so universal now, it's crazy, like there's sipsons once

1533
01:47:00.359 --> 01:47:01.960
to write like just the other day
I just went on. I could see

1534
01:47:03.199 --> 01:47:08.399
man, he either started cracking up
the systems. Simpsons references are a whole

1535
01:47:08.479 --> 01:47:12.439
other one. Yeah. Yeah,
I threw a boo earns at someone the

1536
01:47:12.560 --> 01:47:17.760
other day. I went to a
wine bar last night, and then I

1537
01:47:17.880 --> 01:47:25.520
was just thinking to myself as I
was sipping, what all right? I

1538
01:47:25.640 --> 01:47:29.960
live San Francisco, damn it?
Oh my god, what's a wide bar?

1539
01:47:30.119 --> 01:47:31.800
And then I was just thinking to
myself, I love wine. I'm

1540
01:47:31.840 --> 01:47:39.199
scared about much I need wine.
It's just so good. Yeah, slop

1541
01:47:39.319 --> 01:47:45.520
them up, guys, please,
no sloppy. What are we gonna do?

1542
01:47:45.920 --> 01:47:51.000
What people can't change? And yeah, you know, there's so many

1543
01:47:51.039 --> 01:47:55.039
good ones. There's so many good
ones. Yeah. I always say I

1544
01:47:55.159 --> 01:47:58.239
used to be a piece of ship, and I'm afraid with the mullet,

1545
01:47:58.319 --> 01:48:00.199
I will just go back to being
a piece of shit. Oh I can't

1546
01:48:00.239 --> 01:48:04.760
wait. I'm so excited here.
Oh I'll do I'll do a lot of

1547
01:48:04.800 --> 01:48:09.520
tim and Eric, I'll do.
That's just like constantly going off my brain

1548
01:48:09.640 --> 01:48:14.159
like you blew it. And I
want to meet that dad. Whenever someone

1549
01:48:14.199 --> 01:48:16.319
brings up dads that's playing in my
head. Yeah, yeah, I used

1550
01:48:16.319 --> 01:48:19.960
to say I used to say for
your health a lot. Oh sure,

1551
01:48:20.039 --> 01:48:26.199
yeah, calling people step peppers,
stepdads or pep PEPs and step peppers.

1552
01:48:26.399 --> 01:48:30.680
Yeah, folks at home, I'd
be interested to hear and see what we

1553
01:48:30.800 --> 01:48:39.560
have put into your lexicon other than
shooting work and other bullshit or bug uh.

1554
01:48:40.439 --> 01:48:44.199
That was a good one, earl
anyway, next email comes from Alex

1555
01:48:44.279 --> 01:48:46.560
and Bend Togo, Australia. Hey, bombers. Recently before I go to

1556
01:48:46.640 --> 01:48:50.960
bed, I've been drinking this A
glass of warm water with half a teaspoon

1557
01:48:51.000 --> 01:48:56.199
of cinnamon, quarter teaspoon of peprika, a few cracks of black pepper,

1558
01:48:56.399 --> 01:48:59.319
and a drizzle of honey. It
tastes fine. In case you're curious,

1559
01:48:59.600 --> 01:49:02.520
it's to increase your metabolism. I
think this sounds like bullshit, but I

1560
01:49:02.640 --> 01:49:06.560
haven't changed my eating habits and I
do feel more hungry since doing this.

1561
01:49:08.039 --> 01:49:12.079
Is this working or do I have
a tapeworm? You have anything that sounds

1562
01:49:12.119 --> 01:49:16.800
like hokey bullshit but might actually work? Alex and Bendego, Australia, stop

1563
01:49:17.880 --> 01:49:23.439
health advice. Please hold holding down
the bee button while you're trying to catch

1564
01:49:23.479 --> 01:49:29.119
a pokeyt Yeah, blowing the cartridge
right, Yeah, that's absolutely bullshit.

1565
01:49:29.279 --> 01:49:31.720
To this day, I'm holding down
that bee button whenever that ball is rolling

1566
01:49:31.800 --> 01:49:38.920
around there. Yeah, I almost
definitely have hokey stuff that I've just even

1567
01:49:39.039 --> 01:49:41.880
zoomed out on in a while and
have not re examined and be like,

1568
01:49:41.920 --> 01:49:45.520
oh, yeah, that's definitely bullshit. But I can't think of anything off

1569
01:49:45.560 --> 01:49:48.119
the top of my head. I
own a Neopets tarot card deck and a

1570
01:49:48.239 --> 01:49:57.079
Diablow tarot card deck. Oh,
you give us tarot readings, but what's

1571
01:49:57.159 --> 01:50:05.199
what's what's the Neopets version of the
tower. But the thing is the books.

1572
01:50:05.479 --> 01:50:09.239
The Neopets one is like way more
in detail than the Diabolo one.

1573
01:50:09.279 --> 01:50:12.640
Unfortunately, the Neopets one is downstairs. But they always have like art on

1574
01:50:12.720 --> 01:50:15.479
the cards that's like really detailed,
like Neopets, and especially if it's a

1575
01:50:15.520 --> 01:50:19.319
bad card. The Neopet is like
in distress. There's one where they're carving

1576
01:50:19.399 --> 01:50:25.119
pentagrams into the giant omelet, like
what are we doing here? And then

1577
01:50:25.359 --> 01:50:28.479
the book, like the first paragraph
is always like a description of what the

1578
01:50:28.640 --> 01:50:30.279
art is, Like you didn't notice, It's like, no, I see

1579
01:50:30.359 --> 01:50:35.079
it, Can you tell me what
my future is? I actually have kind

1580
01:50:35.119 --> 01:50:40.680
of fallen on depending on tarot cards
as gifts because Barnes and Noble has a

1581
01:50:40.720 --> 01:50:43.840
whole section of them, and they's
like they's thing to everything. So it's

1582
01:50:43.840 --> 01:50:45.199
always just kind of a fun like, all right, well this person I

1583
01:50:45.239 --> 01:50:48.399
got a friend who liked Fallout.
I was like, there's a Fallout tarot

1584
01:50:48.640 --> 01:50:53.479
card deck. Okay, I'll get
them that, right, so why not?

1585
01:50:54.640 --> 01:51:00.239
That's that's huge diagram for like girls
that were into neopets in that would

1586
01:51:00.239 --> 01:51:02.399
be into tarot card readings. It's
like a perfect circle. I think almost

1587
01:51:02.479 --> 01:51:08.760
all my yeah, almost all my
girlfriends are into tarot cards. I'm sorry,

1588
01:51:09.359 --> 01:51:13.600
it's true. These I purchased neither
of these. This was from the

1589
01:51:13.680 --> 01:51:20.079
Diabolo for launch event that uh that
guy who did that Za performed at and

1590
01:51:20.199 --> 01:51:25.600
it was great because Lilith shows up
and she's like on wires and she's so

1591
01:51:25.720 --> 01:51:29.399
hot and she's talking about how she's
gonna teach us salvation and knowledge and whatever,

1592
01:51:29.800 --> 01:51:31.840
and then some random guy who does
not sound like a video game voice

1593
01:51:31.840 --> 01:51:34.600
actor stands up and is like,
not if I can stop you, and

1594
01:51:34.680 --> 01:51:39.560
she's like and what's your name?
And I'm like the main character in Diabolo

1595
01:51:39.600 --> 01:51:41.920
doesn't have a name. Who could
it be? And he pulls his head

1596
01:51:41.960 --> 01:51:45.720
down at some guy I'm supposed to
recognize and he goes Z and then the

1597
01:51:45.880 --> 01:51:49.800
beat drops. Best party I've ever
been to. Wow, Wow, we're

1598
01:51:49.840 --> 01:51:57.960
not gonna get that. At Packs
East, No Deck, they were like,

1599
01:51:58.000 --> 01:51:59.720
do you want this? I was
like, of course I want that.

1600
01:52:00.760 --> 01:52:02.680
What would be if you could have
a Tarot deck themed on anything?

1601
01:52:02.920 --> 01:52:09.039
Right now? What would it?
It's just a pack of cards. I

1602
01:52:09.119 --> 01:52:13.800
think I would want a Digimontero deck. I think that's pretty good. Yeah

1603
01:52:14.399 --> 01:52:17.239
right, pretty fucked up. I've
watched a funny TikTok. I'm going to

1604
01:52:17.279 --> 01:52:20.880
send this to Mike Manaughdi it's about
Digimon Okay, I'm up at Tarot deck

1605
01:52:20.920 --> 01:52:30.680
would actually also be American gladiators.
Yeah, oh yeah, wrestling, let's

1606
01:52:30.760 --> 01:52:34.640
do that. Sure yeah, sure, it's awkward to get to some of

1607
01:52:34.760 --> 01:52:42.319
those like I was going to say
something and that would have made me upset.

1608
01:52:45.119 --> 01:52:46.000
Let's put under Taker on there.
That's fine. Yeah, yeah,

1609
01:52:46.039 --> 01:52:51.119
there you go, Bailey, What
did I draw four of swords? Sick?

1610
01:52:51.960 --> 01:52:59.239
What does that mean? Minor arcona
ship rest recovery careful consideration. You

1611
01:52:59.319 --> 01:53:02.119
face a twist quandary you're exhausted from
thinking about it, and not one whit

1612
01:53:02.319 --> 01:53:08.000
closer to a solution. Frustration is
making it more difficult. Stop puzzling at

1613
01:53:08.039 --> 01:53:10.920
it and calm your thoughts, letting
them rest on something pleasant, and perhaps

1614
01:53:10.960 --> 01:53:14.800
the solution will present itself. Bailey, It's about buying my crocks, isn't

1615
01:53:14.800 --> 01:53:19.840
it? Which was to get me? That's right? Is it the stitch

1616
01:53:19.880 --> 01:53:24.760
crocks? Is it the I'm not
gonna be able to find the stitch crocks

1617
01:53:24.800 --> 01:53:27.800
and a store, not this.
I just want basic bitch crocs. I

1618
01:53:27.840 --> 01:53:30.520
don't need the stitch crocks, Bailey. That was too real and I don't

1619
01:53:30.600 --> 01:53:34.199
like how real that was, all
right. That's the major problem with Taro

1620
01:53:34.479 --> 01:53:38.159
is it's totally made up and bullshit. And then sometimes you'll get a reading

1621
01:53:38.199 --> 01:53:42.600
where you're like, oh fuck,
oh no, the universe sees me yep,

1622
01:53:42.720 --> 01:53:45.359
yep. And I didn't like how
I was just read like a book.

1623
01:53:46.720 --> 01:53:49.960
He's about to make you his stitch. Oh my god. Can we

1624
01:53:50.199 --> 01:53:57.479
just move on please? From Loveland
Rights and Hello Bombs. Have you all

1625
01:53:57.520 --> 01:54:01.399
ever thought about drafting video games onto
a fantasy team for random subjects, like

1626
01:54:01.520 --> 01:54:06.319
a snake draft where four people each
draft launch games across consoles for a dream

1627
01:54:06.399 --> 01:54:11.279
launch lineup. I hear this format
from other podcasts score and is charming as

1628
01:54:11.319 --> 01:54:14.399
funny as Giant Bomb Crew, and
I think you could have a lot of

1629
01:54:14.439 --> 01:54:16.920
fun stealing picks away from each other. Plus, since his personal teams,

1630
01:54:16.920 --> 01:54:19.920
if someone wants to do something wacky, no one can stop them anyway.

1631
01:54:20.159 --> 01:54:24.319
Love the Friday Revengetions topic format.
Love you all, Mike from Loveland.

1632
01:54:25.680 --> 01:54:27.760
Yeah, we should do that,
Mike, Can I do it again?

1633
01:54:27.800 --> 01:54:30.760
I always beat you pretty back,
exceparately one or two times. So Jeff

1634
01:54:30.800 --> 01:54:34.760
and I do this on our personal
podcast where we'll pick like a console generation

1635
01:54:35.079 --> 01:54:40.880
and we'll try to draft the best
game lineup, and I'd always lose because

1636
01:54:41.279 --> 01:54:44.800
I'm cursed with knowledge of what the
actual good games are and not just like

1637
01:54:45.159 --> 01:54:49.199
the most brand name normy popular one. So Jeff always wins. Yeah,

1638
01:54:49.199 --> 01:54:51.079
I said, I know the good
games too. I just I know how

1639
01:54:51.159 --> 01:54:56.840
the simple man thinks. So like
I kill the z just draft Smash Brothers

1640
01:54:56.880 --> 01:54:59.640
Brawl, even though I'm like,
no, that game had tripping. I

1641
01:54:59.760 --> 01:55:02.880
hate it like a bunch of people
were bunch of people are like ten when

1642
01:55:02.920 --> 01:55:04.840
Brawl came out, So to them. It was the most support thing in

1643
01:55:04.880 --> 01:55:11.039
the world that in Battlefront two.
Yeah, we should do that. Sure,

1644
01:55:11.520 --> 01:55:14.720
Yeah, it's fun and we could
do like, you don't have to

1645
01:55:14.800 --> 01:55:16.640
just do console generations. You could
just do like genres and stuff like that,

1646
01:55:16.840 --> 01:55:19.319
So that'd be fun. We can
mix that. If you've already given

1647
01:55:19.319 --> 01:55:24.960
them Mount Rushmore, you're just you're
just games. I stole mount Rushmore from

1648
01:55:25.000 --> 01:55:29.479
other sports podcasts, so that one
they could definitely have. But you're right,

1649
01:55:29.560 --> 01:55:31.039
listen, maybe we can put the
train on it. Yeah. I

1650
01:55:31.399 --> 01:55:38.399
will occasionally listen to The Rewatchables and
my favorite segment on the Rewatchables is apex

1651
01:55:38.479 --> 01:55:42.079
Mountain of just seeing what is the
peak of something? I'd love to throw

1652
01:55:42.159 --> 01:55:45.760
that into Let's steal that. Let's
steal that, Like what was that like

1653
01:55:45.840 --> 01:55:47.359
in a franchise? What is the
best one? Right? Like yeah,

1654
01:55:47.399 --> 01:55:50.239
well okay, okay, that's one
right now, we'll quick give you some

1655
01:55:50.439 --> 01:56:00.199
final fam the peak nine nine.
It's fourteen fourteen. It's just so different.

1656
01:56:00.960 --> 01:56:03.800
It's always weird. Like I know, people get mad when people do

1657
01:56:03.920 --> 01:56:06.840
list and they leave out eleven to
fourteen, but I kind of get it.

1658
01:56:06.920 --> 01:56:11.079
It's just like such a like fourteen
is my second fair video game.

1659
01:56:11.199 --> 01:56:15.199
Ever, if you're talking about what's
peak final Fantasy, it's not I'm gonna

1660
01:56:15.199 --> 01:56:18.920
say it's ten. I could see
ten. I just miss like the I

1661
01:56:19.039 --> 01:56:21.640
just miss like having a world map
in ten, right, it is like

1662
01:56:21.720 --> 01:56:25.439
more linear and all that stuff.
Yes, forgetting that ten two starts with

1663
01:56:25.479 --> 01:56:28.600
a banger pop song, I'm just
does Oh my god, just I know

1664
01:56:28.720 --> 01:56:30.359
you're dress fear coded. All right, Bailey, It's fine, but it's

1665
01:56:30.399 --> 01:56:36.039
not ten two. As someone who's
like only moderately into some Final Fantasy games,

1666
01:56:36.079 --> 01:56:41.199
I would still say fourteen the way
that it has taken over that fandom.

1667
01:56:41.479 --> 01:56:45.199
Sure, it seems like it's peak
final Fantasy, okay, and like

1668
01:56:45.239 --> 01:56:48.880
you know Apex Mountain being like this
is when it was like the peak of

1669
01:56:48.960 --> 01:56:54.760
popularity and like popular culture non gamers. Well then well then the answer is

1670
01:56:54.800 --> 01:56:59.800
just seven If it's about that,
obviously, I feel like ten reached like

1671
01:57:00.000 --> 01:57:02.119
T was. Also ten is the
next like most mainstream popular one. I

1672
01:57:02.199 --> 01:57:05.039
agree, but I think seven still
edges out there. I needed on the

1673
01:57:05.079 --> 01:57:08.880
record that I was eleven years old
when ten two came out, so that

1674
01:57:09.039 --> 01:57:13.239
might have been right. That makes
sense, we knew, But I'm glad

1675
01:57:13.239 --> 01:57:15.600
you can confirm that. I just
want everyone to know, like the pop

1676
01:57:15.640 --> 01:57:18.520
song was really what did it for
me? I was also eleven then ellieah

1677
01:57:18.600 --> 01:57:21.960
Ja. I like the interpretation of
peak meaning like, no, what is

1678
01:57:23.399 --> 01:57:26.880
your interpretation of what the peak of
the series means? I think it's more

1679
01:57:28.319 --> 01:57:30.800
like, you know, instead of
Mount Rushmore, we could have done like

1680
01:57:30.079 --> 01:57:34.119
WWE games, where was the peak
And like you could argue, is it

1681
01:57:34.199 --> 01:57:36.960
SmackDown versus Raw the one that you
brought up, Mike, or is it

1682
01:57:39.279 --> 01:57:43.520
yes? Is it six? Do
you go to here comes the Pain?

1683
01:57:44.199 --> 01:57:47.159
Do you do any of the earlier
w W specific titles, because it's not

1684
01:57:47.279 --> 01:57:51.119
No Mercy. No Mercy is not
the Apex mountain there, you know what,

1685
01:57:51.239 --> 01:57:56.279
We're just gonna steal the rewatchables,
all right, So now I think

1686
01:57:56.319 --> 01:57:59.560
it's no Mercy because everything after that
has been trying to capture that again and

1687
01:57:59.640 --> 01:58:02.159
tot to me that's means And there
was a built up to Num Mercy we

1688
01:58:02.199 --> 01:58:06.520
did have, like WrestleMania two thousand
first and like I think I think Revenge

1689
01:58:06.640 --> 01:58:11.039
was before that, so like it
is kind of a build up to that

1690
01:58:11.159 --> 01:58:14.319
being the ultimate hockey game in a
lot of ways, with unless you're counting

1691
01:58:14.359 --> 01:58:19.720
def Champ watch out Bill Simmons were
coming for you. Okay. The Rewatchables

1692
01:58:19.800 --> 01:58:25.640
categories are no, don't tell me. I'm ready to take down that.

1693
01:58:26.199 --> 01:58:28.920
I'm gonna take down all of the
ringer I'll do it. Uh, they're

1694
01:58:29.000 --> 01:58:30.359
fine, they're fine, great people
that work there. There's no beef.

1695
01:58:31.479 --> 01:58:36.119
Most rewatchable scene, so this is
specifically from the Rewatchables podcast, right,

1696
01:58:36.359 --> 01:58:42.000
most rewatchable scene, best quote,
what age the best? What age the

1697
01:58:42.119 --> 01:58:46.720
worst? The the waiters heat checked
performance? This is my favorite one.

1698
01:58:47.720 --> 01:58:53.119
Uh, the over acting award casting, what ifs? Half assed internet research,

1699
01:58:53.279 --> 01:58:57.840
unanswerable questions? Could this be remade
as a ten episode Netflix series?

1700
01:58:58.239 --> 01:59:01.159
Apex Mount and who won the movie? We could do this for a game

1701
01:59:01.239 --> 01:59:05.399
one the movie. Yeah, like
we should like write down a out these

1702
01:59:05.439 --> 01:59:09.920
categories and kind of keep them in
our hopper here, especially for BCR.

1703
01:59:10.119 --> 01:59:14.920
Yeah. Yeah, there's there's some
good stuff, all right. Next email

1704
01:59:15.039 --> 01:59:19.279
is about candy combinations. This comes
from Jeremy from Montreal Hey Bombers. Recently,

1705
01:59:19.399 --> 01:59:23.960
Dan mentioned that when he was young, he would lie to his sisters

1706
01:59:24.279 --> 01:59:29.600
that he couldn't share his skills because
they were his medicine well as a person

1707
01:59:29.640 --> 01:59:32.119
with type one diabetes. I actually
use candy as my medicine and because of

1708
01:59:32.199 --> 01:59:39.039
this, have a great fondness for
candy and sweet things during various hypo camic

1709
01:59:39.439 --> 01:59:44.359
low blood sugar states throughout Michael,
Oh, okay, I missed the g

1710
01:59:44.520 --> 01:59:48.680
there. I've tried all sorts of
combinations of candies and sweet foods. I

1711
01:59:48.800 --> 01:59:54.800
used to make icing sandwiches two slices
of wonderbread Petty Crocker vanilla icing in between.

1712
01:59:54.960 --> 01:59:58.439
That's a step away from Australian fairy
bread. So like why not?

1713
02:00:00.000 --> 02:00:06.399
Most recent discovery was combining gummy Skittles
with peppermint Life Savers. Somehow this enhances

1714
02:00:06.479 --> 02:00:11.680
the flavor of the skittles while also
giving them a more natural, flesh fresh

1715
02:00:11.760 --> 02:00:15.600
flavor. Highly recommend. What are
some good or bad candy combinations you guys

1716
02:00:15.640 --> 02:00:19.039
have tried. I'll give them a
go now. I'm just I'm immediately thinking

1717
02:00:19.039 --> 02:00:24.079
of parks and rec again. He's
like, I put a skittle in between

1718
02:00:24.119 --> 02:00:28.000
two starburs. You know what I
call it. It's like a skittle sandwatch.

1719
02:00:28.119 --> 02:00:30.159
He's like, oh, that's way
better. I called it Andy's mouseur

1720
02:00:30.279 --> 02:00:38.239
prat. It's like the flavor of
the Skittles really compliments the similar flavor from

1721
02:00:38.359 --> 02:00:45.520
the Star Wars Chris. Chris Pratt
was so good in Parks of Red anything

1722
02:00:45.560 --> 02:00:49.199
again after that? Uh huh,
Yeah, I get. I get Chris

1723
02:00:49.279 --> 02:00:55.560
Pratt hate to an extent, but
he was on fire on Parks and I

1724
02:00:56.319 --> 02:01:00.680
it's listen, it's candy to me. I will mix together Snickers and a

1725
02:01:00.279 --> 02:01:04.960
honey Crisp apple because it tastes just
like a candy apple. I'm not doing

1726
02:01:05.000 --> 02:01:06.960
this to hurt you, Mike.
I really legit, love it. It

1727
02:01:08.159 --> 02:01:11.800
tastes so good, taste like a
cosmic crisp apple. Yeah, yeah,

1728
02:01:11.800 --> 02:01:15.159
they're not as good. All right, we can litigate this list. I

1729
02:01:15.039 --> 02:01:19.000
know my apples, that's all right. Yeah, get that ship out of

1730
02:01:19.000 --> 02:01:23.079
here. This isn't a candy wreck, but it's kind of like a sweet

1731
02:01:23.119 --> 02:01:27.439
wreck. And this comes from an
old email we got maybe two years ago.

1732
02:01:28.000 --> 02:01:31.560
This was like at the cusp of
when we were reaching peak glizzy saturation.

1733
02:01:31.880 --> 02:01:36.119
But some of it offered a dessert
glazzy situation where you take a hot

1734
02:01:36.199 --> 02:01:41.760
dog bun, slather that bad boy
in some peb and then throw a banana

1735
02:01:41.840 --> 02:01:45.279
on it. Yeah, peanut butter
and banana sandwich right there. That sounds

1736
02:01:45.520 --> 02:01:48.199
tasty. I find it all upsetting. I don't have much of a sweet

1737
02:01:48.199 --> 02:01:51.239
tooth, but it's all very upsetting. I don't know, yah, do

1738
02:01:51.319 --> 02:01:55.680
you all put like anything in your
popcorn buckets? My one niece likes to

1739
02:01:55.760 --> 02:02:00.279
put in her her like Eminem's in
there, and she gets very excited about

1740
02:02:00.279 --> 02:02:01.800
it, and I think that's like
really huge, like chicks it all up.

1741
02:02:02.079 --> 02:02:05.399
I like to keep my popcorn and
candy separate, but like because I

1742
02:02:05.600 --> 02:02:08.840
want to, I want to like
know when to expect it and if I'm

1743
02:02:08.840 --> 02:02:11.560
in the movie, like I'm not
like actively so, but like I will

1744
02:02:11.680 --> 02:02:14.960
like eat a raisinet and then like
a couple things of popcorn. But it's

1745
02:02:14.960 --> 02:02:18.079
just when I make my popcorn,
it's really aggressively salty and buttery. So

1746
02:02:18.720 --> 02:02:23.399
I love popcorns. That should be
Yeah, I need popcorn. I got

1747
02:02:23.640 --> 02:02:26.960
I got a large at the at
the Dune two the other night and brought

1748
02:02:27.000 --> 02:02:30.800
it home because Steph was like,
please bring home popcorn, and I did.

1749
02:02:30.960 --> 02:02:33.159
And then I kind of like I
was working the next day and I

1750
02:02:33.199 --> 02:02:36.079
went upstairs like I'm gonna go grab
a handful of popcorn that sounds nice,

1751
02:02:36.119 --> 02:02:40.479
and the kids had just wrecked it
and it was like mostly still fall.

1752
02:02:40.600 --> 02:02:44.159
They just ate the entire thing in
one sitting. Basically, when I used

1753
02:02:44.159 --> 02:02:47.520
to work at the Filipino Channel,
we our office was right next to a

1754
02:02:47.600 --> 02:02:51.720
movie theater, and a lot of
the aunties and uncles, the older folks

1755
02:02:51.840 --> 02:02:57.960
that work there at the Filipino Channel
would go to the movie theater ask the

1756
02:02:58.119 --> 02:03:00.039
usher to be like, I just
want to go inside and buy some popcorn?

1757
02:03:00.159 --> 02:03:03.079
Can I just do that? And
they'd come back after lunch with like

1758
02:03:03.119 --> 02:03:08.439
a large popcorn and then shouts out
to Uncle Ronnie. Uncle Ronnie not my

1759
02:03:08.520 --> 02:03:13.840
actual uncle, would always come to
my desk like I'm like neck deep in

1760
02:03:14.079 --> 02:03:16.960
editing stuff and he'd like shovel it
around my face, like come on,

1761
02:03:17.239 --> 02:03:23.680
John, I know you want some
popcorn to I'd be like, Ronnie,

1762
02:03:23.840 --> 02:03:31.600
not right now, it's like pop
corn cresh god, okay, okay yeah,

1763
02:03:32.239 --> 02:03:34.439
And then one day he just gave
me the whole bucket, so like

1764
02:03:34.520 --> 02:03:39.600
I'm in an editing suite and just
like now it's been all about popcorn buckets

1765
02:03:39.640 --> 02:03:44.680
ever since. It's Uncle Ronnie's fault. Uncle Ronnie is also a magical human

1766
02:03:44.760 --> 02:03:46.800
being. That like one day asked
me to come to his desk and like,

1767
02:03:46.880 --> 02:03:51.000
Jen, I got the secret to
show you only U huh. I'm

1768
02:03:51.039 --> 02:03:54.159
not making fun of the Filipino accent. I just want to make that clear.

1769
02:03:54.199 --> 02:04:00.399
I just want to properly represent a
lot it terrible. Yeah, not

1770
02:04:00.479 --> 02:04:05.640
after that last time, Trile.
The English accent is on point though,

1771
02:04:05.680 --> 02:04:10.800
So it's you're not making fun of
anything. That's fine. So good that

1772
02:04:11.039 --> 02:04:14.640
you get away with it because you
know uncle Ronnie keeping my uh. Some

1773
02:04:14.880 --> 02:04:18.119
background to his character is that he's
a seventy year old it guy that has

1774
02:04:18.119 --> 02:04:20.840
worked at the Filipino channel since the
dawn of the Internet, it seems.

1775
02:04:21.520 --> 02:04:26.520
But anyway, he pulls me over
to his desk, takes his key to

1776
02:04:26.640 --> 02:04:30.479
unlock his bottom drawings like, John, are you read deeper this? Huh?

1777
02:04:30.600 --> 02:04:35.399
Okay okay. He puts a Pelican
case onto his desk and then he

1778
02:04:35.600 --> 02:04:40.840
like undoes the combos like I don't
look, don't look at the combo it's

1779
02:04:40.880 --> 02:04:45.680
my pin number also uh and then
he opens the case and it felt like

1780
02:04:45.880 --> 02:04:53.720
a uh, what's what's the Tarantino
movie pulp fiction? Pul fiction moment?

1781
02:04:53.880 --> 02:04:58.800
Yes, because this fucker literally had
lights installed into this into this pelican case.

1782
02:04:59.399 --> 02:05:01.800
Oh that can you guys guess what
was in this small pelican case?

1783
02:05:02.760 --> 02:05:09.319
Popcorn? We have more popcorns?
What I want to say? These were

1784
02:05:09.840 --> 02:05:15.920
five hundred dollars top of the line
fidget spinners. What the fuck? Hell?

1785
02:05:16.359 --> 02:05:20.159
Yes, a fidget spinner worth a
whole cube of war. Yes,

1786
02:05:21.359 --> 02:05:24.760
May it's probably made out of a
cube of ore disk. That'd be a

1787
02:05:24.800 --> 02:05:28.920
great fidget spinner. And he had
six of them, and then he was

1788
02:05:29.000 --> 02:05:34.600
like I got this custom made huh, John, Like wow, six way

1789
02:05:34.960 --> 02:05:43.359
six individual fidget spinners that are individually
worth five hundred dollars five hundred increasingly degrees

1790
02:05:45.199 --> 02:05:49.359
man, And then like he he
takes one off, He takes one out,

1791
02:05:49.760 --> 02:05:51.720
he spins it, puts it on
his desk and like, John,

1792
02:05:51.880 --> 02:06:00.920
this one stops spinning. Ever,
Huh, it's perpetual. And Mike,

1793
02:06:00.039 --> 02:06:03.920
you doubted it. I it's a
perpetual motion machine. But you have your

1794
02:06:03.960 --> 02:06:13.159
face, nab Mike Manati, you'd
be worth more than five hundred. And

1795
02:06:13.239 --> 02:06:15.520
then I was like, Ronnie,
I gotta go take care or something.

1796
02:06:15.560 --> 02:06:16.960
I got a meeting. It's like, hey, I'll spin it at the

1797
02:06:17.000 --> 02:06:20.840
start and you come back. You
come back after the meeting. He spins

1798
02:06:20.920 --> 02:06:25.079
it, I go to this meeting
last maybe like an hour and a half,

1799
02:06:25.880 --> 02:06:29.279
come back, and then he smiles. He's looking down the hallway as

1800
02:06:29.520 --> 02:06:32.439
walking back to his office or his
desk, is like, it's still going,

1801
02:06:32.600 --> 02:06:36.079
John, It's still okay. Never
mind, it's worth five hundred dollars.

1802
02:06:38.680 --> 02:06:45.079
You weren't wading. I believe him. You don't tru think guys shocking.

1803
02:06:45.279 --> 02:06:48.560
I think the guy who's trying to
hawk custom mage Figeon spinners might be

1804
02:06:48.720 --> 02:06:54.840
a bit of a car sell them
to you. J I think so he

1805
02:06:54.960 --> 02:07:00.840
was just showing Jany's precious selection monster. Yeah. God, so hateful Mike.

1806
02:07:01.479 --> 02:07:08.279
I remember, I don't think but
fitter kid not spid for ninety minutes

1807
02:07:09.119 --> 02:07:15.399
you were there. I have one
right here. Let's a good spin on

1808
02:07:15.439 --> 02:07:20.479
my fifty cents? Yeah yeah,
and where's my time? God is I'm

1809
02:07:20.479 --> 02:07:25.439
gonna I'm gonna wait till I get
a four. Now, We're gonna be

1810
02:07:25.479 --> 02:07:28.239
here all day and I'm never gonna
have to play Skull and Bones again.

1811
02:07:28.399 --> 02:07:33.680
I mean, you're welcome. I
don't know why Uncle Ronnie itto Facebook thinking

1812
02:07:33.720 --> 02:07:41.399
i'd find it all right. Last
email of the show comes from your friend,

1813
02:07:42.079 --> 02:07:44.640
sent from my iPhone. Okay,
gang, we have to put a

1814
02:07:44.720 --> 02:07:46.720
cap on it once and for all. What is the Mount Rushmore of Mount

1815
02:07:46.760 --> 02:07:51.880
Rushmore's your friend sent from my iPhone. Mount Rushmore point guards in the NBA.

1816
02:07:53.199 --> 02:07:57.279
That's number one. I was gonna
say Mount Rushmore, that weird Confederate

1817
02:07:57.399 --> 02:08:05.039
Mount Rushmore that I think is the
thing, the Mount Rushmore dug oh yeah,

1818
02:08:05.239 --> 02:08:09.319
and then just regular Mount Rushmore.
Okay, I said mount regular one.

1819
02:08:09.359 --> 02:08:11.560
There's the one. There's a cotterate
one. I thought that's what you

1820
02:08:11.640 --> 02:08:16.760
meant, is there are pilotings about
Rushmore's. That's just a marse face.

1821
02:08:16.119 --> 02:08:18.800
Yeah, there is a Mount Rushmore
in pilot wings. Oh my god,

1822
02:08:18.920 --> 02:08:22.800
that's right. Okay, yeah,
that's pretty good. And do you like

1823
02:08:24.600 --> 02:08:28.560
really this takes really sorry to slow
down here, we're reaching the minute mark

1824
02:08:28.800 --> 02:08:33.199
right now, it's got a little
life left. You would shell out the

1825
02:08:33.239 --> 02:08:37.199
big bucks for the good sees.
Yeah, that's science. You've proven that

1826
02:08:37.359 --> 02:08:39.560
the five hundred dollars one will do
nothing because you didn't spend that one.

1827
02:08:41.079 --> 02:08:43.000
Okay, it's done. It was
a minute. It tests seconds. I

1828
02:08:43.039 --> 02:08:46.199
heart. I find it hard to
believe that there are different materials that could

1829
02:08:46.279 --> 02:08:54.840
make it last exponentially longer than that. Get me in contact with this man.

1830
02:08:56.239 --> 02:09:00.319
I was just trying to think of, Like, would Uncle Ron be,

1831
02:09:00.680 --> 02:09:03.960
Could I convince him to pop onto
the voicemail dump truck? I would

1832
02:09:03.000 --> 02:09:07.880
love that And show off his fidget
spinners anyway, Show show me your fidget

1833
02:09:07.920 --> 02:09:11.279
spinners, your six five hundred dollars
fidget spinner. He might have acquired more,

1834
02:09:11.520 --> 02:09:15.600
who knows, hope, So yeah, yeah, yeah, those things

1835
02:09:15.640 --> 02:09:20.720
have really been appreciating value. Maybe
there's a very I got a bid full

1836
02:09:20.760 --> 02:09:24.159
of beatie babies that could trade for
them. Maybe there's a niche community out

1837
02:09:24.199 --> 02:09:28.600
there that is still like driving up
the value. Who knows, maybe collectors

1838
02:09:28.680 --> 02:09:31.760
out there. But that does it
for emails this week, send your emails

1839
02:09:31.800 --> 02:09:35.920

1881
02:13:07.199 --> 02:13:13.840
It has been incredible, fantastic.
I just confirmed that I bought tickets

1882
02:13:13.199 --> 02:13:18.680
for the fucking episode one Phantom Menace
coming back to theaters because I'm a sicko

1883
02:13:18.760 --> 02:13:20.600
and I need to see it again. I need to relive it. And

1884
02:13:20.800 --> 02:13:28.199
now that's Pottery's Yeah. I am
nostalgic for when it was in theaters.

1885
02:13:28.239 --> 02:13:31.279
I don't like that movie all that
much, but it was it was a

1886
02:13:31.359 --> 02:13:33.960
lot of fun. When that it
was so much fun. Exactly, it

1887
02:13:33.079 --> 02:13:37.199
was a pizza Pizza Hut KFC at
Taco Bell had the Taca promotion. I

1888
02:13:37.279 --> 02:13:41.319
went right to the Taco Bell right
afterwards, and I remember some guy saw

1889
02:13:41.399 --> 02:13:43.560
me dressed up in my robes while
he's like, well, what did you

1890
02:13:43.640 --> 02:13:45.880
think, and I was like,
I loved it the bat it was so

1891
02:13:46.079 --> 02:13:48.159
He's like, yeah, see the
critics don't know what they're talking about.

1892
02:13:48.439 --> 02:13:50.800
I think about that a lot.
I told I told that man a lie.

1893
02:13:50.239 --> 02:13:56.920
It was your favorite character in episode
one? Mine was Watto Boss Nass.

1894
02:13:58.479 --> 02:14:01.840
That's why that's favorite character. If
I say any of boss that's his

1895
02:14:03.000 --> 02:14:07.880
lines. Uh. He just starts
laughing. Yeah, they're not booth think

1896
02:14:07.920 --> 02:14:13.520
that they so smart. You're not
allowed to do that. Said about the

1897
02:14:13.560 --> 02:14:24.520
Filipino you can't do it. The
deft Triangle thinks they're so smart, so

1898
02:14:24.760 --> 02:14:28.159
big. Yeah, my favorite character
is Fuel of Debates. Yes, that's

1899
02:14:28.479 --> 02:14:33.680
my fault. Every character in episode
one is racis just an incredible racial stereotype

1900
