It's a whole thing. But yeah, I'm ready to talk 12 00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:15,920 about mommies and animals. There we go, leading expert in the field about 13 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:26,159 all things about animals. Jeff Beckler. Hey, I'm an animal. I'm 14 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,040 listening. I'm just I'm just I'm just listening to some of the sounds going 15 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,560 on in my house right now, and I feel like I need to address 16 00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:37,159 them. I'm not sure if there is an animal loose in my home, 17 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:42,239 but something's happening in my home. Yeah, this is not a work, 18 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,319 just having a child like it could be an animal, could be it could 19 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,480 be your kid, or it could be like someone making ice cream. Yes, 20 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,120 you're exactly right. And also my wife used the Ninja creamy and it 21 00:01:55,239 --> 00:01:57,439 sounded like my children's screaming for like an hour straight, but it was just 22 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,959 the Ninja creamy. There's two elderly people who live with me as well, 23 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:07,039 so it's Oh, I forgot about that. Oh I haven't shown I've not 24 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:13,280 forgotten about that. Last, but not least our own Ninja Creamy Turbo the 25 00:02:13,439 --> 00:02:16,159 ever love. You know what that means? Yeah, you know, you 26 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:22,759 know. Yeah, I'm bringing the mommies today. I guess we got animals. 27 00:02:22,759 --> 00:02:25,759 We got mommies. We have animals who are mommies. It's a show. 28 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,680 You drink the most milk out of all of us, so you're not 29 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:36,479 wrong. My bloodstream is just cream at this point. There we go. 30 00:02:37,199 --> 00:02:39,719 Do we think that people should burn this episode onto a CD and hand it 31 00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:45,039 to their mother for Mother's Day? Oh? One there's no chance that things 32 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,120 are already gonna get nasty midway through that segment or anything like that. Love 33 00:02:49,159 --> 00:02:53,199 to hear it. I gotta go download romantic music. Then, back when 34 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,560 I worked at the coffee shop, we would we would get like pretty big 35 00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:00,319 lines, and like one of our duties was to like call out to the 36 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,719 line and be like, Yo, what's up? Thanks everyone for waiting. 37 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,479 And I think I shouted out the moms too much that I got talking to 38 00:03:07,759 --> 00:03:13,439 on Mother's Day. I was like, shouts out to the moms in line, 39 00:03:13,479 --> 00:03:16,680 and a shouts out to the single moms in line. And then you 40 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,560 went, you just went one too far. You know you're on the line 41 00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:24,639 there, you teetered over and then then yeah, I didn't realize that, 42 00:03:24,719 --> 00:03:28,800 Like there was someone from corporate in line checking out the store, and then 43 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,879 they talked to my manager. My manager had to talk to me about like, 44 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:36,560 hey, maybe stop singling out the single mothers. Yeah, that may 45 00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:38,280 have been your problem. But I tried turning it around. I'm like, 46 00:03:38,479 --> 00:03:43,319 do we not appreciate the struggle that single mothers have? Right? I'm so 47 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:52,800 glad you fought thenesday, Jeff Becklar is taking care of who knows what business 48 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,520 business. Yeah, he's standing on business. As the children say, how 49 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:04,319 God on God, give me a io cringe, give io cringe. I 50 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:11,599 saw another one that I wasn't quite familiar with. Uh there, I don't 51 00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:15,120 even I don't. I'm I'm gonna do my research, my anthropological research before 52 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,800 I bring it back to the table. Okay, someone was They were saying, 53 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,759 like, oh yo, Luxy, where is that? Like, that's 54 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:28,000 totally a lux. I'm like, islx right or luxurious or I don't know 55 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,800 if they were treating lux like or Luxy like a person not Lex. Can 56 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,720 we just say something is Lex if it's cool like you know Lex wins you 57 00:04:36,759 --> 00:04:40,600 know, yeah, not not not our own Lex Ludie, uh, but 58 00:04:40,879 --> 00:04:44,560 Lux. And I was like, is this a person I don't know? 59 00:04:45,079 --> 00:04:49,959 Uh? Also I still do the tango of like in TikTok specifically, sometimes 60 00:04:49,959 --> 00:04:54,199 when you open up the comment bar, it'll have like a blue suggested search 61 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,480 thing and I'll click it not really realizing sometimes it's a little something, a 62 00:04:58,519 --> 00:05:02,279 little scandalous. Yeah, those things are often like, hey, we'll explain 63 00:05:02,319 --> 00:05:05,519 what's happening in this TikTok, and then the explainer is here's a bunch of 64 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:10,639 people's butts. Yeah. So when my partner will like grab my phone for 65 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,040 like innocent purposes and look at TikTok, I'm like, it's I'm just researching. 66 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:20,199 Sometimes finn Boys just shows up in your personalized trending feed for no educational 67 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:26,639 reasons. You didn't do anything. What's the big deal? Is everyone freaking 68 00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:30,879 out? Yah? Is this like that time where you accidentally watched Jesus Christ 69 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,720 where you accidentally wandered into a certain room on your medicalest three? Is this 70 00:05:34,879 --> 00:05:40,360 like that? Yes? Yes, it's exactly like that. I totally understand 71 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,519 how curiosity killed the cat and in my case, walked in on people having 72 00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:50,399 a time on the internet. I wonder, I just don't want that to 73 00:05:50,439 --> 00:05:56,720 show up in my history, but I'm they give you the options to delete 74 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,720 stuff from your history. The problem is everything that I like, any public 75 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,920 username I have is just my name now. So it's like someone's gonna catch 76 00:06:04,959 --> 00:06:08,519 me in one of these rooms and I'm just like curious, and they're gonna 77 00:06:08,519 --> 00:06:11,879 be like, well, I saw saw jan in the mommy room on my 78 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,399 medical that's her. Probably got be hella incognito when you're online, dude, 79 00:06:15,519 --> 00:06:19,199 Yeah, how's everyone doing. We said it's at the beginning upf it's been 80 00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:21,959 a week. It's a bit of a week. It has been a week. 81 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,600 I am ready for the week to end. They should call it that. 82 00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:29,600 In fact, Uh yeah, it was just a lot of bad news, 83 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,040 weird news. There's good games at least to talk about and stuff, 84 00:06:31,079 --> 00:06:35,319 so yeah, into that, but mostly I'm just like run down from all 85 00:06:35,399 --> 00:06:39,160 this and I want to like sit down in a bean bag and not move 86 00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:43,759 for like an hour straight. Yeah, I've uh, I think if I 87 00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:46,759 got time this weekend, my my try and actually hit the disc golf links. 88 00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:49,560 Oh yeah, yeah, Like I was telling you, I found a 89 00:06:49,639 --> 00:06:53,079 Rundown course and I was kind of bummed out, so I didn't even try 90 00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:55,639 it. I'm gonna like, see that was the closest one to my house, 91 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,519 so I'm just gonna like go to the one that's better rated on like 92 00:06:58,639 --> 00:07:05,279 disc golf maps dot com or whatever the hell I was using. Yeah, 93 00:07:05,959 --> 00:07:10,879 Sean, you you know this. We we mess up the English language on 94 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,759 a consistence. I am well aware of this. Jam it. I realized 95 00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:19,560 I had this moment the other day when I realized that blatro is actually pronounced 96 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,079 Bollatrow and I thought about it. I'm like, well, why would I 97 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:29,199 Why is everyone saying oh right? Because Jan and Grub are the people I've 98 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,120 heard pronounced this game's name out loud, and you started this whole thing in 99 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,920 the industry. That's why everyone was calling it blatro instead of the actual word. 100 00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:41,720 It's just a word, guys, exactly, It's just a word. 101 00:07:41,879 --> 00:07:44,680 Is it a clipboard or is it a clip bird? Well, we get 102 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,160 to decide are we going to chappoll or going to Chipotle? You know? 103 00:07:48,519 --> 00:07:54,199 Uh. Another thing I've started saying and to infuriate people, is instead of 104 00:07:54,199 --> 00:08:01,839 saying Popeyes, the popular fried chicken chain, I'll says that's one. I 105 00:08:01,839 --> 00:08:05,959 don't like it. I don't like that. I find that one. There's 106 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,560 appropriation in there somewhere. I don't know where, I know I know, 107 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,160 but it's fine. I'll walk this line. I'll walk this line until I 108 00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:16,959 get canceled. I'm vamping mostly because I hope back Lar is okay. I 109 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,519 think he would have anything. You know what. I haven't had a chance 110 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,759 to talk to you guys about this yet. I am huge into Frisbee golfing. 111 00:08:24,959 --> 00:08:28,319 It's very Yeah, you know what, should have known. Just look 112 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:33,159 at you should have known. I'm a disc golf kind of guy. In 113 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,519 high school. It was, you know, starting to like really take off 114 00:08:37,639 --> 00:08:41,960 back then, and so me and my friends were, are you scratch your 115 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,799 headwell lighter? I just yem sorry, I was trying to light a candle. 116 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,799 And then I'm just you have so much product in your hair. I'm 117 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:56,600 very it's all natural. It's just standing up today, OKAYU No frisbee golfing, 118 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,480 disc golfing, whatever you want to call it. It's very fun. 119 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,759 That's just how me and my friends would get a little exercise in the summer. 120 00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:07,440 We'd just grab drivers. We would just use those and just like walk 121 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,320 out there to the course, just toss them around for a little while. 122 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,480 It was a lot of fun, nicky, says Dolph. And that's what 123 00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:18,440 I'm calling it from now on, Dolph. Okay, yeah, well you 124 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,320 know, Dolph, Yeah yeah, why not? Would you just you said 125 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,159 you just packed a couple of drivers and just just the one. Yeah. 126 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,000 Yeah. Some of my friends would bring a putter as well, but usually 127 00:09:28,039 --> 00:09:31,759 it's all you need is the driver. You gotta find one that plays to 128 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,559 your throwing style. Like I can only throw I'm right handed, and the 129 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,039 way I throw a frisbee or disc, I can only throw it with a 130 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,679 curve. So you need to like find a disc that like plays into that. 131 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,799 You either need to go extra wide or you need to get one that 132 00:09:46,919 --> 00:09:50,240 like has less curve so it like mitigates that and all the ratings you guys 133 00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:54,679 were talking about the numbers and stuff when you go to buy one we're talking 134 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,120 about on the bomb cast. That's what's all about. You gotta find the 135 00:09:56,159 --> 00:10:00,279 one that plays into you. Also, you know, maybe the find different 136 00:10:00,279 --> 00:10:03,919 throwing saw. You know, you throw it underhand, and sometimes that's how 137 00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:07,799 you like one of the courses. We sometimes go to a lot of trees 138 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,080 on the right hand side. Obviously I can't curve into that, so you 139 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:16,679 throw it underhand and it reverse curves around the tree. Whoa, it's kind 140 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,120 of like yo yo's. Once you figure out the tricks and everything, it's 141 00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:22,960 fun. Well, now you're speaking my language exactly. Yeah, oh man, 142 00:10:22,279 --> 00:10:24,679 I was gonna say, like, yeah, I think I'm also an 143 00:10:24,799 --> 00:10:31,080 orthodox thrower. But but I think I did it. Did it once. 144 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,000 I did the like a little underhand like but you type of toss. That's 145 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,519 tricky, dude. This is the type of sound that makes in my head, 146 00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:41,480 God, we gotta, we gotta, we gotta go disc golfing. 147 00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:45,759 I don't know if there's a there would not be a close course in LA 148 00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:48,600 for sure. Really, yeah, but we could just set one up. 149 00:10:48,919 --> 00:10:50,679 We can just build our own. That's what Scot do. I think you 150 00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:54,159 actually can you they have like pop up because all it is is, you 151 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,639 know, you just need like basically a pole and a hoop at the end 152 00:10:58,639 --> 00:11:01,159 of the day. Yeah, you can actually just like set those up and 153 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,759 think he says, there is one, So there we go. Okay. 154 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,360 I was going to say, like, I'll just how I've solved a lot 155 00:11:07,399 --> 00:11:13,039 of problems lately, is I will just slack Emma. Yeah, me too, 156 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:18,559 just like oh you you've already thought of this before I've even thought or 157 00:11:18,799 --> 00:11:22,039 be like well, oh honey, okay talk to this person then and okay, 158 00:11:22,039 --> 00:11:26,200 thank you.

I 164 00:11:45,759 --> 00:11:50,799 thought I thought he didn't realize that we were still alive, so I thought 165 00:11:50,799 --> 00:11:54,120 it was safe. But I'm wrong. I'm wrong. He's one big chilling 166 00:11:54,159 --> 00:12:00,399 in the big comfy chair, says Nah, I'm here, becha dead? 167 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,399 Yeah, I assume at this point, I'm looking at Slack. I don't 168 00:12:05,399 --> 00:12:07,720 see anything. I don't have my phone on me. You know, let's 169 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,279 just talk about games here set. But first, actually, I'm just noticed, 170 00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:13,240 because I do have this camera set up, my hair is starting to 171 00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:16,000 curl a lot in the back. It's all. It is really popping off 172 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,519 back there. I didn't realize that it used to. Yeah, I know, 173 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,679 but it's like I didn't realize it was that long again. I mean, 174 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:28,240 it's it's going off. It's like a broccoli back there. Oh boy, 175 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,639 yeah, yeah, it is like a little bit broccoli. Why is 176 00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:35,159 it the camera focused on the game set? I don't know, Dan, 177 00:12:35,519 --> 00:12:39,360 you're out, You're right, you know what I apologize to you? He's 178 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,840 yeah, I think that warrants like a bad scent. Yeah, sure, 179 00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:48,720 why not? What's the difference At this point you're gonna get that cut before 180 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,840 sgefre. I think I'm gonna get the sides trimmed down, Yeah, for 181 00:12:50,879 --> 00:12:54,879 sure, and they'll probably clean up the top. Okay, okay, Well 182 00:12:54,039 --> 00:13:11,639 let's talk about video. A bunch of indie games came out all on the 183 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:16,240 same day or within days each other this week, within a week. Ye 184 00:13:16,919 --> 00:13:22,840 yes, if you tuned in earlier today for upf grub and I checked out 185 00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:28,039 two of them. We won't talk about Animal Well just Jeff Backlout Resurrects from 186 00:13:28,039 --> 00:13:33,039 the Dead. Yeah. Everyone added five mana to the pool please, and 187 00:13:33,039 --> 00:13:37,919 then we'll we'll have enough to raise the d But the last game we checked 188 00:13:37,919 --> 00:13:43,799 out today was Crow Country. It is a isometric survival horror game very much 189 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:52,159 evoking PS One vibes with its art style and everything we do. We checked 190 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,039 out for like thirty or so minutes, and in that early time I was 191 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,759 enjoying it to an extent. I think my only drawback with that type of 192 00:13:58,799 --> 00:14:01,480 game, and Greb, you nailed it when we're playing it is that it 193 00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:05,480 seems like the type of game that will go by exponentially so much faster once 194 00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:09,960 you figure out the loop of like or the order of the puzzles. Yeah, 195 00:14:11,159 --> 00:14:13,720 and I don't, as you know, very early in the game, 196 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,399 and it's kind of throwing a lot at you that I wish there was maybe 197 00:14:18,799 --> 00:14:22,639 a clipbird of sorts or a journal of like, Okay, I got to 198 00:14:22,679 --> 00:14:24,879 get this key, I gotta get that key, I gotta get this key 199 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,360 and head over here, and that we did check it out very briefly, 200 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:33,320 So maybe some type of tracking system that you unlock further in. I think 201 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,360 people are like, well, just take notes yourself. But I think what 202 00:14:35,399 --> 00:14:37,240 you're saying, what you were saying, what I would be saying if I 203 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,919 were you playing that game. It's like, I don't know always what is 204 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,759 important. I'm not going to write down everything because in that the notes become 205 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,879 useless to me. And I'm not a note taker anyhow, But if I 206 00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:48,960 were, I'd be like, Okay, I guess I'll write down this thing. 207 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,120 And here's a whole letter. Is this just world building or do I 208 00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:56,600 need the details from this? So should I be doing shorthand like recreation of 209 00:14:56,639 --> 00:15:00,279 this letter down here in my notes and say, uh, I kind of 210 00:15:00,279 --> 00:15:01,600 want the game to be like, no, this is important. Have that 211 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,600 now. I haven't played the game. I get the sense Jen like had 212 00:15:05,639 --> 00:15:09,039 we kept like brute forcing some of this stuff. Eventually, it's like we're 213 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,080 gonna learn what matters and and learn how the language of the game to be 214 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,440 able to take in all that information in a more efficient way. But the 215 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,639 way that it looks and the way that it's going for that PS one survival 216 00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:22,320 horror vibe, I think they really got most of that. I think I 217 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,159 do. The characters don't necessarily like look what I think of when I think 218 00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:30,440 of those kinds of games, it is that is a little bit off, 219 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,960 But everything else is perfect. And I don't think the characters are bad looking. 220 00:15:33,279 --> 00:15:35,600 They're still charming in their own way. It's just not what I was 221 00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:39,159 expecting from this kind of game, and all I think they nailed it. 222 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,960 The visuals are definitely going for a different type of PS one game, Like 223 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,799 me and Mike were talking about with you last night, it's very much f 224 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,360 F seven is one. Yes, yes, yeah, definitely yeah. Specifically 225 00:15:48,519 --> 00:15:52,679 not even necessarily the character models themselves, you know, they cal that, 226 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,360 But like a lot of the pre rendered so rendered, like the flags, 227 00:15:56,639 --> 00:15:58,279 I was noticed that like that popped off to be so much like a pre 228 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,799 render final chandasy background. It was wild. Yeah, and so it just 229 00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:06,399 sort of in real time with three D graphics. It's going for that sort 230 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:15,120 of rounded sometimes almost like bulbous. How everything is like slightly characters, yeah, 231 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,600 duplow blocks, not like the mini the minifigs. But yeah, yeah, 232 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,840 I think they really nail the design that they're going for there. It's 233 00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:26,639 a different kind of a take on the PS one Survival Horror because we have 234 00:16:26,679 --> 00:16:30,960 so many that are just resident evil. It's it's really cool to see when 235 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,519 that goes for a slightly different style. I really like that. Yep. 236 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,440 Yeah, Greb, you mentioned before we start playing at the ad campaign looks 237 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,960 like an old video game ad and I want that between and yeah, oh 238 00:16:41,039 --> 00:16:45,759 man, this just hits a certain way. Yep. And I'm very much 239 00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:48,200 in that mood right now, Like I'm going back, Like one of the 240 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,840 things I did this week was install Windows ninety eight, and I'm looking at 241 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,399 old video game magazines and a lot of it that's just like, oh, 242 00:16:55,679 --> 00:16:57,480 video game industry feels kind of messed up in a lot of ways right now. 243 00:16:57,559 --> 00:17:00,480 So I'm going to go to my happy place a little bit. And 244 00:17:00,559 --> 00:17:04,240 I really appreciate games that are coming out right now that are doing that same 245 00:17:04,279 --> 00:17:08,000 thing that also feels a good retreat into a space that feels safe and cut 246 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,480 off from all of the nonsense that's happening everywhere else. And so when they're 247 00:17:12,519 --> 00:17:15,839 able to capture that and they know they're going for it, and then they 248 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,519 have that fun little ad that plays into that, it's like, Okay, 249 00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:22,480 this is just hitting all the notes for me. What do you think would 250 00:17:22,519 --> 00:17:25,279 be like the next trend? Because I feel like, you know, people 251 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,319 that grew up with a PS one have been emulating that art style. Now 252 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,799 for a while, we've kind of gone a little bit of like the polygonal, 253 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,480 super chunky and sixty four style as well. Oh yeah, are we 254 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,440 eventually going to transition to like what what is a PS two? I think 255 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,079 we get I think we get some stuff that like tries to go for Dreamcast. 256 00:17:44,079 --> 00:17:47,720 I think we've had a few things like that. You're right, You're 257 00:17:47,759 --> 00:17:49,480 right. Once we sort of get to like PS two GameCube, Xbox, 258 00:17:51,039 --> 00:17:53,720 that's like proto HD at a certain point, and it's hard to tell the 259 00:17:53,759 --> 00:17:59,440 difference. I think a lot of that is vibe and music. There is 260 00:17:59,519 --> 00:18:03,079 a certain like a set of audio that a lot of games used, and 261 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,160 like you can kind of pull that those things off, and you know, 262 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,480 I don't think it'd be impossible. I think a strong art director would be 263 00:18:10,519 --> 00:18:12,640 able to make that happen. It's a little bit more difficult than Hey that 264 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:17,359 the game definitely looks like a PS one game. Yeah. I think when 265 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:23,640 we talk about why does Nintendo not put GameCube on virtual console NS whatever they 266 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,759 want to call it, I think that's the reason is because that era of 267 00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:32,839 gaming is the beginning of modern gaming, So it makes more sense to remaster 268 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,119 even something from the floor by three era because it kind of just looks like 269 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:41,759 what we have nowadays, just lower fidelity, whereas something even just the previous 270 00:18:41,799 --> 00:18:45,880 generation, even something as powerful as the N sixty four, looks radically different 271 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,720 than just one generation up. So I think that's like the dividing line is 272 00:18:48,759 --> 00:18:55,839 about two thousand there. Yeah. I would have really enjoyed getting to because 273 00:18:56,559 --> 00:19:00,880 my experience with the Pokemon game Gale of Dark, this is pretty much just 274 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,400 going over to my friend's house and watching him play because I didn't have a 275 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:10,720 GameCube. Yeah, you're right, Sean, I think translating that they'd either 276 00:19:10,759 --> 00:19:12,839 have to do a lot more work, or it just wouldn't look as impressive 277 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,680 if they just did an HD remaster. But crow Country, the only thing 278 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,920 that feels off for me personally is the shooting. I wish you didn't there 279 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,759 was only like an X access to point at versus like having in control going 280 00:19:26,839 --> 00:19:30,559 up and down with the shooting as well. But that's a very minor thing. 281 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,440 I think. Also, I just tend to panic when you're kind of 282 00:19:33,519 --> 00:19:40,160 locked in shooting versus being able to move a bit. Yeah, that's you 283 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,400 know, that's deliberate part of the genre, but I know what you mean. 284 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,160 Yes, Or if there was just like an auto aim in that direction, 285 00:19:45,319 --> 00:19:49,759 like you had in a silent hill or resident evil right where you're kind 286 00:19:49,799 --> 00:19:52,880 of just locked into that spot and as long as you're kind of facing it 287 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,000 and the enemy's in the same plane as you and you can bop them. 288 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:03,079 Yeah, sort of a suit all lock on. Yeah. Yeah, another 289 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,920 thing that I've been playing way too much of. I don't know if y'all 290 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:14,319 have had the opportunity to also dip into is haities two of course, yep, 291 00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:18,000 and I definitely fell into the Oh the one more time, one more 292 00:20:18,039 --> 00:20:19,559 turn, one more turn of a thing where I was like, Okay, 293 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,880 will I spend a lot of time with this right now? There's a lot 294 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,359 of stuff I want to be playing, and I'm not. There's no hurt, 295 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:26,960 there's no rush here. Even though this is something I was very much 296 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,440 looking forward to, I'm not putting in it like, oh, I got 297 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,440 to play all this right now. And then I you know, I did 298 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,880 my second play session with it and I couldn't put it down. So it 299 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,519 is the it is the game I want to be playing the most right now. 300 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:41,039 Even then I'm like, oh, I'll mix some time for so a 301 00:20:41,079 --> 00:20:45,400 lot of these other indie games that are coming out, but Boy Hades too 302 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,920 just is spectacular. Yeah, each and you know, we talked about this 303 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,119 on the BombCast earlier this week with Nikki, but like, it's really nailing 304 00:20:55,359 --> 00:21:00,960 the loop very well because introducing I was a little bit annoyed first when they 305 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,920 start, when when I saw that you had to like kind of juggle the 306 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:10,000 different resources that you're collecting on run from run to run, but having to 307 00:21:10,279 --> 00:21:12,440 manage Okay, well, I don't want to bring the pickaxe out because I 308 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,599 have it. I have plenty of silver, I have plenty of the other 309 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,680 materials you uh unlock, Let's go use like the spirit thing so we can 310 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,519 unlock more of our our cast or the uh how many tarot cards you can 311 00:21:23,599 --> 00:21:30,200 use? It spices that up. Uh. I don't know if I like 312 00:21:30,279 --> 00:21:33,119 the sprint. The sprint is new in this right, just so it's okay. 313 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,880 So I don't think the sprint is necessarily new, but the dash is 314 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,440 different, and so the dash into sprint probably feels different. I thought you 315 00:21:40,519 --> 00:21:42,680 could sprint in the last one. I think so, but the the the 316 00:21:42,759 --> 00:21:47,680 dash is definitely different. I think the dash was much more back to back 317 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,240 to back in the last game, and in this game it's a dash and 318 00:21:51,279 --> 00:21:53,599 then you get a little shadow behind your character and then once that shadow zoops 319 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:59,160 back into her, you can dash again. Yeah, And and like Nicky 320 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,279 says, you could sprint last but it just didn't do anything. And now 321 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,440 they have definitely boons that are like, hey, if you're sprinting, you 322 00:22:03,599 --> 00:22:07,960 can destroy any sort of projectile send it you and that will hurt whoever sent 323 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:14,000 the projectile at you. So it's like being it's being incorporated into the combat 324 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,319 loop, so you're much more aware of it. The dodge is or the 325 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,240 the dash is something you're gonna have to get used to. I think once 326 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,000 they explained to me that shadow mechanic of you visually in an auto and the 327 00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:30,440 audio is happening as well. Of okay, everything is back to normal. 328 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,519 Now now you can dash again. I'm like getting into the rhythm of that. 329 00:22:33,759 --> 00:22:34,359 But before that, it was like, oh man, I'm in the 330 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,440 shit. Let me dash out, Let me dash out of this. Why 331 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,000 can't I dash? I'm getting hurt. This sucks. It's like like, 332 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,079 in that moment, it felt pretty bad. But now that I'm getting used 333 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,759 to it, I think I like it. But I do wonder if this 334 00:22:45,799 --> 00:22:48,960 is something they're going to dial in a little bit in early access if enough 335 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,839 people are complaining. I really enjoy the folks. That's super giant because I 336 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:59,200 don't want to spoil anything. I saw our good old buddy Christian from Argentina 337 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,559 tweeting very curious screenshots about eighties two, and then I'm like, what the 338 00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:07,000 hell is this? And let me just say, you might in your little 339 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:14,640 town area, your little hub area, you unlock a certain thing to spend 340 00:23:14,839 --> 00:23:19,480 time with your companions in just some one on one time, and it's a 341 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,920 little bit like, oh, this game is not finished yet, but these 342 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,119 parts seem finished, so it's curious as to what the priorities were over there. 343 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,799 So as so, I'm someone who isn't big on early access games for 344 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,759 no and no, no, in any particular reason other than I see your 345 00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:42,519 piece. See this is why I can't say anything this man in my life, 346 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,480 just because I don't replay single player games. It's just the way my 347 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,960 brain works. I just almost never go back to games. Even my favorite 348 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,960 games in the world I probably played less than ten times each. So for 349 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,200 me, I was thinking I'll just wait for one point. Oh, but 350 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,640 then Mike, who also is the same way, He's like, yeah, 351 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,359 I just you know, I want to play whatever the one point I was 352 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,640 whenever they call the finished game for no particular reason, he said, it 353 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,920 seems pretty feature complete, at least to him. So I guess my question 354 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:18,079 to you guys is what, obviously, without spoilers, what is missing at 355 00:24:18,079 --> 00:24:22,759 this point? Like why is it early access? There's a couple of bits 356 00:24:22,799 --> 00:24:29,680 where certain character portraits just don't exist yet, and I think that is where 357 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:37,279 the game feels slightly incomplete, And for me personally, I could just attribute 358 00:24:37,279 --> 00:24:40,359 this to luck of the draw, but it seems like the boone variety at 359 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:45,480 least where I'm at with a game isn't super diversified just yet. But for 360 00:24:45,519 --> 00:24:49,759 the most part, it feels like a whole ass game. And then like 361 00:24:49,799 --> 00:24:55,720 it'll throw me into bits that It'll throw me into bits where I've been in 362 00:24:55,759 --> 00:24:57,359 the same repetitive loop where I feel like, oh, I know what to 363 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,720 expect here, and then I'll throw like a wrench those gears of like, 364 00:25:00,759 --> 00:25:07,799 oh you can do that. So, like, is the story like it 365 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,599 doesn't have an rason? You know, it feels like to me, it 366 00:25:10,599 --> 00:25:12,079 feels like the only time I've ever seen one. This is going to be 367 00:25:12,079 --> 00:25:15,920 a bad example because the movie's bad, but that X Men origins Wolverine, 368 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:22,519 that work print that leaked where it's like everyone downloaded that version of It's like 369 00:25:22,559 --> 00:25:26,720 and it's like, this is the movie, but some of the special effects 370 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,519 are incomplete or something like that. So you got the story and everything was 371 00:25:30,519 --> 00:25:33,680 there, just occasionally in this game you might see something like oh this is 372 00:25:33,759 --> 00:25:40,079 placeholder or something. Okay, So they're basically treating almost like a beta for 373 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,839 a single player game. Yes, a little bit, I think, you 374 00:25:42,839 --> 00:25:45,160 know, I think the reason they would go with early access is that, 375 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,079 like they want the feedback and they want that explicitly to be the reason that 376 00:25:48,079 --> 00:25:52,160 they're doing this. So that's why I say they're doing it again, and 377 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,799 I think they're going to add a lot more. I think there will be 378 00:25:55,839 --> 00:25:57,960 more story tacked on. But the way that it's being presented, the way 379 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,119 it feels like it's working, like that's almost like a DLC like New Chapter 380 00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:06,279 or something like that in a lot of ways. Okay, gotcha. I 381 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,160 probably will end up checking it out alongside all the other indies I have to 382 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:15,680 play now over next week. Uh, thank god, Jeff Beckler is here. 383 00:26:15,759 --> 00:26:22,000 Jeff Becker, I've returned. I'm sorry, that's very odd for a 384 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:27,039 podcast, but I have returned. Everything's fine, Everything's okay, Yeah, 385 00:26:27,039 --> 00:26:30,039 everything's fine. Now. I appreciate the concern. I see your message. 386 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,720 I didn't have my phone. It's just look, there's certain things I'm just 387 00:26:33,759 --> 00:26:40,160 not gonna be able to tell anybody. Okay, yeah, yeah, everything's 388 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:44,039 cool. Every everything is mostly fine. Okay, what's up? Would you 389 00:26:44,039 --> 00:26:45,079 talk about what we're gonna talk about? Animal? Well, you want to 390 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:52,640 talk about animal? Who? All right, Yeah, there's a lot I 391 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,599 want to talk about, I guess with Animal I. First off, I 392 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,319 think I think that game is very good. I think it's a lot of 393 00:26:59,319 --> 00:27:02,160 fun. I think the way I've been describing the people as sort of like 394 00:27:02,799 --> 00:27:06,640 what if you had, you know, a low fi Metroidvania, but like 395 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:11,079 with the sensibility of like a Tunic, where you sort of where the game 396 00:27:11,839 --> 00:27:15,599 most certainly is aware that it's a game and it's just sort of having a 397 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,640 little bit of fun with its own self awareness. I think is when does 398 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,000 that does that start popping off later in the game, like not like I'm 399 00:27:22,039 --> 00:27:27,680 a couple hours in. I don't think it's as over the top and heavy 400 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:32,240 handed as Tunic, where like Tunic would look you in the eye and like 401 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,680 wink, like here's a page of a video game manual talking like that. 402 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:40,640 I think it's it's much more subtle here and you know, look like I 403 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:45,160 think I just think it's like I like the take of it where it's doing 404 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,440 you know, it's it's it's not completely breaking any kind of like mold. 405 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:56,440 But I do like the sort of modular puzzle afocation Metroidvania that it's doing, 406 00:27:56,519 --> 00:28:00,039 where it sort of gives you you know, the the sort of like present 407 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:06,720 presentation is like, okay, you know, you're you're you're gated in certain 408 00:28:06,759 --> 00:28:10,160 areas, but also this room you're in, it's like its own little puzzle 409 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:15,440 right here, right and and it's like this very rectangular uh uh you know, 410 00:28:15,519 --> 00:28:18,359 framing puzzle and you don't have to go anywhere else to do it, 411 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:19,559 and it's gonna be right here, and you got to figure that out. 412 00:28:19,599 --> 00:28:25,400 And I think maybe it's my like endless desire to feel in control. I 413 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,960 don't know what that is or whatever it is, but you know, I 414 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,680 mean like that's a thing. You know, I gotta feel like I'm in 415 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:38,839 control and uh yeah, and and and it does that for me. You 416 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,839 know. I think it gets away with like a lot of clever uh visuals 417 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:48,119 too, right. It has those like deliberate scan lines, and I think 418 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:53,119 there's some really neat uh sort of effects that pop off in the game that 419 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:59,759 I I I'm appreciating from the sort of like Neon Hayes presentation of of of 420 00:28:59,759 --> 00:29:04,720 the whole thing. Also outside of this game, which I have not finished, 421 00:29:04,759 --> 00:29:07,119 but I play a lot every day. I've been playing on my Steam 422 00:29:07,119 --> 00:29:11,640 deck of all places, that's great there, and Did has also gotten very 423 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,519 much into it too. He feels the vibes. He's into it. He's 424 00:29:15,559 --> 00:29:18,480 been saying, like, Tuesday, Buddy, Tuesday, is that a thing? 425 00:29:18,599 --> 00:29:26,119 What is that? Tuesday? Special play special? Special team special? 426 00:29:30,759 --> 00:29:34,759 What is Tuesday tuesda? That's fucking sketch? The twitch streamer and he streams 427 00:29:34,759 --> 00:29:41,079 a lot of Madden and he's like, he's awesome. He's like the best 428 00:29:41,759 --> 00:29:44,079 in the history of the world. Tell hey, tell him, I said, 429 00:29:44,119 --> 00:29:47,480 special Team Special play special Players. All right, I will. I 430 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,559 don't, but he doesn't watch this guy. It doesn't matter. It's it's 431 00:29:49,599 --> 00:29:55,759 it's viral, Okay, cool, awesome, awesome, Tuesday, your this 432 00:29:55,839 --> 00:30:02,200 is your week sketch. So so yeah, like he's into it, he 433 00:30:02,279 --> 00:30:04,240 gets it. And this is what I found to be really fascinating to me. 434 00:30:04,759 --> 00:30:08,160 Did picked up the controller and was like, oh, yeah, okay, 435 00:30:08,599 --> 00:30:11,960 oh you have a fire how many fire crackers you have? Yeah? 436 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,160 Oh what's oh sick? Okay, And this game speaks Yeah, it's just 437 00:30:15,319 --> 00:30:18,359 easy, right, you just pick it up and you're like, I get 438 00:30:18,359 --> 00:30:22,400 it. I'm into it. I also think if we could zoom out just 439 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,119 a little bit and I could put on my big boy hat. I think 440 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,920 this game is going to kind of like bring with it a kind of don't. 441 00:30:32,279 --> 00:30:34,440 I don't want to like inject too much importance into this because it is 442 00:30:34,519 --> 00:30:37,279 just one independent game. Sounds like it's a Jeff Backler important game of the 443 00:30:37,359 --> 00:30:41,680 year. It's most certainly important more because of I think what it like represents. 444 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,359 I think there's a lot of I think this is going to be the 445 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,000 game that a lot of people sort of like pin the ownership of, Like, 446 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,759 yeah, remember when they stopped making fifty million dollar games and Animal l 447 00:30:52,839 --> 00:30:59,839 came out. I think like the I think the sort of like publisher disruption 448 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,960 thing that everyone is sort of like trying to figure out how to square in 449 00:31:04,519 --> 00:31:11,480 retrospect will be sort of like the emotion and the energy of that pendulum change. 450 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,079 I think it's going to get right where it's like, you know, 451 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,319 Ballatro or Balatrow is that house, says Sean, I don't know, Platro 452 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,880 Bollatrow. And then Power World and this and a handful of other things that 453 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:27,799 are coming out this year that are just crushing and uh and they're picking up 454 00:31:29,039 --> 00:31:33,680 a lot of attention and they don't seem like they cost the world to make. 455 00:31:33,799 --> 00:31:36,359 It's like, if these games can keep doing that, it's not just 456 00:31:36,359 --> 00:31:40,759 some legalliance. It really can change things. Yeah, And like I said, 457 00:31:40,799 --> 00:31:44,279 I think it's already changed. I think there's already money. I think 458 00:31:44,319 --> 00:31:48,039 like the people who are like sort of looking where to invest and where to 459 00:31:48,079 --> 00:31:52,319 be smart with their spending have like you know, I think this is already 460 00:31:52,319 --> 00:31:53,720 built into the market, if that makes sense, right, Yeah, in 461 00:31:53,759 --> 00:31:56,400 a little bit. I mean I think it's kind of the trouble with this 462 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,559 has always been like, oh, hit driven business. It's so hard to 463 00:31:59,559 --> 00:32:02,079 pick which are going to be hit exactly. But you know it's a low 464 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,920 when it's the lower stakes, right, I think it's an easier pill to 465 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,160 swallow. And I think that's what maybe something like an animal l brings with 466 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:13,759 it. Now. Look, I don't like I feel like a lot of 467 00:32:13,759 --> 00:32:16,599 the conversation right now is like this game's reviewing really well and everyone seems to 468 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,440 really like it. I don't know what the sales are, like, I 469 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,519 don't know, and I don't think we have that idea. I think it 470 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:27,599 was number one on Steam, Okay, so like but what is like, 471 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,359 but what does that translate to? That's very good. That's just a lot. 472 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,880 It's a lot of cash, is what that means. Okay, very 473 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:37,480 like you have to make more money than the steam Deck, which is usually 474 00:32:37,599 --> 00:32:42,640 number one. Uh and it's and I don't think it's number one at the 475 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,880 moment, but it was. You know, the steam Deck is you know, 476 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,599 four hundred dollars a pop, and there's those things are selling very well 477 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,039 and this thing is not four hundred dollars. So yeah, it was doing 478 00:32:50,119 --> 00:32:53,039 very well. And people are pointing out it's in the PlayStation plus tiers and 479 00:32:53,079 --> 00:32:58,160 if you know a PlayStation paid for that, you know those rights, that's 480 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,079 money in the bank right there. Well that's a estiment to Donkey publishing and 481 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:06,920 that's right. So yeah, I think that's dope. I think it's very 482 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,319 encouraging. I think, you know, I think everyone's taking notice in the 483 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:16,039 right way and hopefully that leads to a more favorable environment for everyone who is 484 00:33:16,079 --> 00:33:21,559 a creative and sort of like you know, stands the benefit from this. 485 00:33:21,839 --> 00:33:23,480 Yeah. I don't think it like changes the calculus of like, oh, 486 00:33:23,559 --> 00:33:27,839 the Indiepocalypse and there's ten thousand indie games. Sure, but it does show 487 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,680 that there is clearly a pathway if you have good taste, and you could 488 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,880 spot the good games, and you can kind of get out of its way 489 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,400 and make all the right choices of make it sure. You're promoting the game 490 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,839 a little bit, but you're giving people time to review it. You're talking 491 00:33:39,799 --> 00:33:42,759 to the right people, bringing it to a lot of shows. It had 492 00:33:42,759 --> 00:33:45,319 a lot of demos of a lot of different shows. They just made all 493 00:33:45,359 --> 00:33:49,880 the right choices with this thing, and this at least shows that can payoff. 494 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,279 Maybe won't every time, but did this time. And that's great. 495 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:57,079 Yeah. And you know, let's not forget right like good game good. 496 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,200 Yeah, you know, like if that's always going to be a thing too, 497 00:34:00,319 --> 00:34:02,640 let's not forget good game good. And that's that's more than half the 498 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:07,000 battle. Yeah, it's It's got fifteen hundred reviews on Steam, which is 499 00:34:07,039 --> 00:34:09,639 pretty good. I mean, for comparison, Haites two has got twenty thousand 500 00:34:09,679 --> 00:34:14,559 already reviews. But that thing is a rocket ship. So it's also a 501 00:34:14,599 --> 00:34:16,880 sequel to like a well known game, exactly for sure. It is a 502 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:22,079 completely different case. It's in Animal Yeah. Animal will also just released yesterday. 503 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,480 Yep, that's right. So, and and then Hades was earlier in 504 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:30,079 the weeks mondays or over the weekend and animal well might blow up being in 505 00:34:30,079 --> 00:34:32,119 the conversation with all these other endis over the weekend. And yep, it's 506 00:34:32,159 --> 00:34:37,280 overwhelmingly positive too. So that's why are it's fun. It's really good. 507 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,840 Like I you know, I think I think it's a it's a it's a 508 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:46,440 it's a fresh enough take on an established thing that there's something there's there's a 509 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:51,320 comfort food in there too a little bit, and there's just the right amount 510 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:55,440 of creep factor as well. Yeah, those those animals are weird and weird. 511 00:34:55,519 --> 00:34:58,159 Yeah, I'm like, I kind of hate them, but I like 512 00:34:58,199 --> 00:35:00,960 the way that I hate them. I am. I am enjoying it bacular, 513 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:05,800 but I am also waiting for that wow moment still. I'm like, 514 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:07,840 I'm definitely like I get it with Like, I started doing this puzzle that 515 00:35:08,039 --> 00:35:13,000 was multi rooms and they like everything was affecting one another and I was like, 516 00:35:13,039 --> 00:35:14,840 oh, it's taking me up here so I can do this and that 517 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,800 will take me back there. And I did that on stream and that was 518 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,639 that was clicking into place. But Okay, this is cool. I'm definitely 519 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,280 enjoying myself. I am like like still wondering, like, man, why 520 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,559 do people love this that much? That hasn't happened yet. But I think 521 00:35:27,599 --> 00:35:30,360 I'm still pretty early. Like I I did the bubbles that put me inside 522 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,679 the mouth of those little guys that hang on the wall. That's the puzzle 523 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:37,039 I just did. So I'm I'm pretty early still right, he did all 524 00:35:37,079 --> 00:35:38,519 the yo yo stuff. I just got the yoyo and that like started doing 525 00:35:38,559 --> 00:35:42,920 the first major puzzles with the yo yo. Yeah, I mean I think 526 00:35:43,039 --> 00:35:46,000 like it's to me, it's like that's the sort of like step up experience. 527 00:35:46,199 --> 00:35:49,639 It definitely feels like it's like ramping up at this point. Yeah, 528 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,800 so you know, I think that's what it is. I also don't think 529 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:57,159 it's going to like I don't think it's going to have a moment that everyone 530 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,599 is just sort of like what it was it was inside that the eyeball this 531 00:36:00,639 --> 00:36:06,760 whole time, like that kind of thing. But yeah, I think for 532 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,880 I think a lot of it is just the sort of the moment that you 533 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:15,480 are in inside of it, right, and that's good enough and that's fun. 534 00:36:15,679 --> 00:36:21,039 Yeah, And there is not as much of that because I think like 535 00:36:21,079 --> 00:36:23,119 it's one thing to make the vibe and It's one thing to sort of like 536 00:36:23,159 --> 00:36:28,159 have a lot of the but like to get everything clicking right and all those 537 00:36:28,159 --> 00:36:31,079 planets and starts to line up like that, I think is the achievement for 538 00:36:31,119 --> 00:36:37,000 sure. You know, there was a lot of criticism when it was originally 539 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:42,599 announced that Donkey was going to get into video game publishing, and having a 540 00:36:42,639 --> 00:36:47,960 massive audience online doesn't always translate to customers per se, Right, Like, 541 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:54,119 I've seen the stories multiple times of like an influencer and TikTok Instagram wherever else 542 00:36:54,239 --> 00:37:00,320 will have like five, ten, twenty million subscribersoers, whatever, and when 543 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:05,559 they released in a clothing line, no one will show up, right, 544 00:37:05,679 --> 00:37:08,519 none of those people are there. Do you think it is slightly different because 545 00:37:08,559 --> 00:37:15,920 of the gaming audience is kind of more invested in the activity of gaming versus 546 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:22,159 something like I don't know someone that is just like a normal influencer. However 547 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,639 fucked up that sounds, well, I don't, I mean, I don't 548 00:37:24,639 --> 00:37:29,719 think that this. I don't think the relationship that Donkey has with you know, 549 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:36,880 the game is uh is like sort of you know, a victim to 550 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:42,119 any sort of like inauthentic kind of you know, sort of thing like I 551 00:37:42,119 --> 00:37:45,760 think that's the biggest part, is like he's letting in the game speak for 552 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:50,960 itself in all exactly exactly, And that's what I do think a lot of 553 00:37:51,079 --> 00:37:55,280 these people the investment is looking for, is that authenticity, right, So 554 00:37:55,400 --> 00:38:00,920 like I I, you know, you have a lot of people who seem 555 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,239 to be trying to break into it through brute force, being like, hey, 556 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,920 I've got the following, I've got the pull, I've got the influence, 557 00:38:07,679 --> 00:38:09,320 and I like video games, right, And it's like, no, 558 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:15,440 that's not I don't that's not enough. I think you also have to have 559 00:38:15,599 --> 00:38:20,119 like the sort of like understanding and the kind of relationship. And I think 560 00:38:20,159 --> 00:38:22,599 that I think that's what separates at all. Like, look, the next 561 00:38:22,639 --> 00:38:25,760 Donkey, the next Big Mode game. Maybe it doesn't work right, you 562 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:30,079 know, I don't know, but like good games are good, right exactly, 563 00:38:30,159 --> 00:38:31,760 But good games are good. And if this is the first, you 564 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:37,159 know step, like, why would you not have faith in the next one? 565 00:38:37,559 --> 00:38:42,159 Yeah? And it's it's I never really had like that reaction to the 566 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,360 Dunkey announcement of Big Mode. I was like, yeah, that makes sense. 567 00:38:45,039 --> 00:38:50,239 It like what is publishing need someone that can like kind of does understand 568 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,559 games and can get attention, and Donkey can definitely do that and we'll see 569 00:38:53,559 --> 00:38:58,400 it. It definitely worked out that way totally. It makes sense. It 570 00:38:58,519 --> 00:39:02,719 just makes sense. A game that I briefly checked out, and it's one 571 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:07,320 of those games that I don't want to talk too much about is Indica. 572 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:15,280 Lucy James mentioned this earlier this week on Game This Mornings. I'll just say 573 00:39:15,599 --> 00:39:20,280 it is kind of apparently it's a very short game, but it is like 574 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:30,559 a psychological or walking simulator, where my life, what do you what's so 575 00:39:30,559 --> 00:39:36,039 scary about you walking around? What's happening? A legend? Yes, you 576 00:39:36,159 --> 00:39:40,800 play and there's there's a bunch of content warnings. Uh. It's funny because 577 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:46,159 I see all of the Catholics flocking to this game and the stoners because they 578 00:39:46,199 --> 00:39:52,599 think it's a weed strain. Yes if it man, I myself, I 579 00:39:52,679 --> 00:39:57,119 watched someone else play it, and it is trippy. Is almost stuff that 580 00:39:57,119 --> 00:40:00,519 happened Yeah, yeah, very early in and you know, had some like 581 00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:06,960 light tense thriller moments, having gone to the insane bits that I've seen even 582 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,679 from the screenshots of the game. But very excited to keep checking it out, 583 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:15,360 especially because Lucy said that it's it's one of her top games of the 584 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,400 year so far, and like this is a is a really stacked year. 585 00:40:17,639 --> 00:40:21,239 You know, well she went to Catholic school, right, Yeah. It's 586 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,280 like, oh man, Birds of a Feather, huh. Like to give 587 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:28,679 you the an idea for the kind of wild stuff that happens in this game 588 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,400 within the first like ten minutes or songing. In one of the cut scenes, 589 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:37,360 the main character is like wigging out and she looks over and it sees 590 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:43,760 like a tiny human being like crawling out of someone's mouth and like hopping out 591 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:50,360 and onto someone else. Is just weird. It is psychoedamic what you're saying. 592 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:55,280 Sure, I say, it feels you finished on. I was thinking, 593 00:40:55,360 --> 00:41:00,880 like, uh, Doctor Strange, the new one, like a lot 594 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,920 of that, A lot of that, Uh was that Sam Raimi? Yes, 595 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,159 yeah, yeah, a lot of that type of like psychological horror thriller 596 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:13,800 type stuff. It reminds me of the dude the director Ari Astor, the 597 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:21,239 guy behind Hereditary and the new the joe Quin Phoenix movie. Yeah, what 598 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,679 is it like bo bo is afraid? Yeah yeah, stuff like that. 599 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,599 It's like who hurt you? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, it's like, 600 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,719 why did your brain come up with this? What's happening here? Yeah? 601 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:37,199 And why are we funding this? Right? Sure? Sure, no, 602 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,079 I'm kidding. I like weird shit. I'm the first to line up for 603 00:41:40,119 --> 00:41:43,639 that. So this is the game for you? Then? Yeah, I 604 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,360 think I have to play this another game that I have on my radar because 605 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:52,760 it's been picking up a lot of positive buzz. He's one thousand x resist. 606 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,920 Yes. I have no idea what this game is about, but a 607 00:41:57,199 --> 00:42:00,559 friend of the site, Natalie Flores, was writing about this, and my 608 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:05,440 ears are peaked. I'm interested. I've known. Yeah, they said it's 609 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:10,320 like one of the greatest games they've ever played, and yeah, yeah, 610 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:15,360 this is one I feel like we've seen in a sizzle reel somewhere. So 611 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:19,199 it was like on my radar, and because when I saw people tweeting about 612 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,320 I'm like, I've seen this, I know this game, this, this 613 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,000 is the game I want to check out. When it was out and you 614 00:42:24,039 --> 00:42:28,280 look at Steam, you look at the screenshots, it is very anime, 615 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,559 very sci fi futuristic stuff. All things are on my alley and I don't 616 00:42:32,599 --> 00:42:36,440 even know what the game is. It's one of those games where the way 617 00:42:36,599 --> 00:42:39,320 people are talking about it. I'm just gonna dive in this weekend and not 618 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,840 knowing anything. Like you look at the Steam reviews and people are even saying 619 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,159 like, I don't really want to say anything. I just want to say 620 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:49,199 this game is a masterpiece, and like you need to check it out. 621 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,880 Well, it's like, all right, all right, I'll do it. 622 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:59,880 Anything else anyone has been playing before we let Jeff Beckler go, I, 623 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:02,480 you know, didn't add much to what way off here because I've just been 624 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:06,000 so busy with our stuff. I haven't had much time to play stuff. 625 00:43:06,199 --> 00:43:07,920 A lot of fighting games because I got tournament at the end of the month, 626 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:12,760 Combo Bricker. I'll be there if you're there, say hi. So 627 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,679 I'm a lot of teching ad, a lot of Street Fighter and some older 628 00:43:15,679 --> 00:43:20,039 stuff I'm getting back into, like Killer Instinct. But otherwise my secret project. 629 00:43:20,079 --> 00:43:22,840 I like to bring secret projects to the table, especially maybe people caught 630 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:27,840 onto this, but when I'm playing embargo games, I can't talk about them. 631 00:43:28,039 --> 00:43:30,440 I like to bring on my secret projects to the table. Over the 632 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:36,880 past weekend, I got a lot of CRT shaders going on retro games, 633 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,199 and I had the same the project like a year ago, and I love 634 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,199 this. Was so glad you're doing this, because especially I didn't have the 635 00:43:42,599 --> 00:43:45,400 lgo led TV that you have. It's going to look so good on there, 636 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:49,840 Sean. Yeah do Yeah. I knew going in because when I was 637 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,440 working my crappy retail job several years ago, I made sure to save up 638 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,800 scrimp and save for an entire year for two things. The big comfy chair 639 00:43:55,840 --> 00:44:00,440 people see back there, big ol' lg oled TV, so I could do 640 00:44:00,519 --> 00:44:04,000 stuff like this, so you know, the perfect black levels, and then 641 00:44:04,039 --> 00:44:09,480 you've got HDR going. I can have basically a CRT blown up to fifty 642 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:14,639 five inches. It is wild. Yeah. I tried out a variety of 643 00:44:14,679 --> 00:44:16,599 shaders. I found what I really like in a shader preset pack. I 644 00:44:16,639 --> 00:44:22,239 load into retro arc and it the I was saying to Grubb yar day. 645 00:44:22,599 --> 00:44:25,920 The test for me of if you have a good CRT filter shade or whatever 646 00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,840 is in SONCD a Hedgehog, specifically SONK one. They have a waterfall that 647 00:44:31,119 --> 00:44:36,199 is dithered, so you know, like every other line roughly is nothing. 648 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:42,079 It's like transparent. And so if that appears to be a transparent layer, 649 00:44:42,079 --> 00:44:45,079 it looks like water flowing over the background. You know, you have a 650 00:44:45,079 --> 00:44:47,239 good shade a on your hands. Found when it does that and I set 651 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:52,679 that, load up a bunch of other retro games, and it looks wild. 652 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:59,840 I'm so helly set up yeah, because now you're tweaked. I use 653 00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:01,719 that initially, but then I'm trying to think of which, well, I 654 00:45:02,079 --> 00:45:07,639 it's cybers something. It's like a username, uh cyber post mic. Once 655 00:45:07,679 --> 00:45:10,719 you get it, once you have like like fully going show do some like 656 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,119 actual photos with your phone up against the the l g TV and then done, 657 00:45:15,119 --> 00:45:17,800 and then share which one it actually is? Oh yeah, I will 658 00:45:19,159 --> 00:45:23,119 it's yeah again it's cyber something of the composite one. So people, it's 659 00:45:23,159 --> 00:45:29,639 not it's not in retro arch automatically you need to add you just you just 660 00:45:29,679 --> 00:45:35,559 download some uh crt Royale base is. But all these customized ones that people 661 00:45:35,559 --> 00:45:38,159 do you need to just download basically a preset file. It's very easy. 662 00:45:38,199 --> 00:45:42,079 Once you have retro arc going, you just like pull me a folder that 663 00:45:42,159 --> 00:45:44,800 way. When you go in retro arc, you just like select that one 664 00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,559 from the shader option, loads it up, and it just does everything for 665 00:45:47,599 --> 00:45:51,760 you. It's very good. One of the coolest things about it is like 666 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,800 you can like set have a fake bezel and it'll do reflections off the bezels. 667 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:58,639 Yeah, that's a mega bezel. I'm not. I'm not. I'm 668 00:45:58,679 --> 00:46:01,079 not a huge fan of that because I in my nice dark room and just 669 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:05,400 CRT effect and it just looks like I have a giant CRT in my room. 670 00:46:05,559 --> 00:46:07,199 Right. But for me that was like, oh, this is the 671 00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,400 dumb nostalgia. Yah, it does like reflections on the bezel and everything. 672 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:13,039 I can see why you'd like it. The reason you want like a big 673 00:46:13,079 --> 00:46:15,880 four K TV is because what it actually does. The share does is it 674 00:46:16,039 --> 00:46:21,960 simulates the RGB of each individual pixel. Because you have so many a work 675 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,960 with and a retro game is only two forty P so all those individual pixels 676 00:46:27,199 --> 00:46:31,000 two forty p canvas, your four K TV can simulate the red, the 677 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:35,519 green, and the blue of each one and then filter tho. Yeah, 678 00:46:35,639 --> 00:46:39,079 it's cool. That's how you get CRT effects without you know, necessarily buying 679 00:46:39,119 --> 00:46:43,880 your retro tink FOURK that you try to get your boss to expense for you. 680 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:49,480 Yeah. Yeah, let's not talk about that. Yeah, that's that 681 00:46:49,559 --> 00:46:53,440 process. Sounds like this plugin that I downloaded for da Vinci resolve to emulate 682 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:57,679 film grain. So it's like pretty much just kind of like stacking the image 683 00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,840 on top of itself and like a couple of the stacks, just like let's 684 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,559 just fuck it up. Yeah, I know, I know epos Vox loves 685 00:47:04,599 --> 00:47:06,920 doing stuff like that and all of this stuff, and so that's how I 686 00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:10,159 learned about some of this too. And yeah, just I know people love 687 00:47:10,199 --> 00:47:16,880 their raw pixels, but when you see a properly shaded, filtered CRT effect, 688 00:47:17,679 --> 00:47:21,679 you immediately say, oh, this is what this artist supposed to look 689 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,280 like. This is what they were going for back in the day. So 690 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:27,280 it makes a huge difference. It makes a huge difference. Yeah, so 691 00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:31,920 it's better. It's messing just the right way. It makes it look better 692 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:35,840 because it's the intended look by the doves. It would be like adding a 693 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,159 smooth filter to impression his paintings. It's not the exact same thing, but 694 00:47:38,159 --> 00:47:43,239 it's the same kind of idea. You have, like a like a tutorial 695 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,920 for all this stuff. Yeah, there's plenty of stuff out there, Sean, 696 00:47:45,599 --> 00:47:49,440 you look it up. Yeah, there's like YouTube stuff that I definitely 697 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,960 felt followed in the past. Yeah, you search for on YouTube for like 698 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:58,239 retro arc CRT shads and people are playing tutorials of Riot different ones and show 699 00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,639 you sat up. Oh cool, Dan's winning this poll about does he need 700 00:48:00,639 --> 00:48:06,800 a retro tink four K expense the one option? I mean the poll that 701 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,559 like matters anywhere? No, it doesn't. Uh, he doesn't even know 702 00:48:10,639 --> 00:48:15,719 how to make a poll. How do you think that all of a sudden, 703 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:20,079 Yeah, all of a sudden he knows how to do something that was 704 00:48:20,119 --> 00:48:30,360 me made this, I uh did and I finished the uh the TV part 705 00:48:30,519 --> 00:48:37,840 of the n E S console. Lego cool. And I gotta say that 706 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:42,320 thing's fucking unbelievable. Yeah, it's really neat, the fucking engineering that went 707 00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:45,239 into that. I know, it's just a bunch of little pieces, right, 708 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:50,039 and it's you know, it's just it's so so good. Like I 709 00:48:50,079 --> 00:48:58,880 showed my my dad because he's here, like that was the first time he 710 00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:00,559 I feel like it was the first time he been impressed in like twenty years. 711 00:49:00,639 --> 00:49:05,360 Oh that's just like he's like, what we know where you get it? 712 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,480 Forcery? You know, He's like, what is this they're doing? 713 00:49:08,639 --> 00:49:15,039 Lego's doing this now? Are impressive? Ages? Yeah? Yeah, like 714 00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:20,199 for sure, But it's just what a what a what an unbelievable thing that 715 00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:23,599 is? Yeah? Yeah, so now we got the NYS console itself next, 716 00:49:23,639 --> 00:49:28,880 and well we'll blast our way through that. Thank you for that update, 717 00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:35,519 dark Echo.

She appreciates mom I mean on 736 00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:04,400 Women's Day of course, of course respectfully, because like I, I, 737 00:51:04,599 --> 00:51:06,599 Greb and I were talking this morning, was like, oh, maybe we 738 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:12,039 do an animal draft of like that a lot. We're gonna do that eventually. 739 00:51:12,119 --> 00:51:15,039 We should do that, because you know we could and the animals and 740 00:51:15,159 --> 00:51:25,599 animal well crash bandicoot and dinas for animals. This Pikachu count. That's what 741 00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:30,840 I want to know, our Pokemon animals. I feel like you can only 742 00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:34,320 do if you're gonna pick a Pokemon in an animal draft, you can only 743 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:38,320 pick one Pokemon, Like how oh yeah, so adamant Mike is as he 744 00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:43,480 just says, no, of course he has a strong opinion about this because 745 00:51:43,519 --> 00:51:45,519 like you should only be able to like if you pick Pikachu, you can't 746 00:51:45,559 --> 00:51:52,320 also pick like another Pokemon in your in your roster Okay, yeah, that's 747 00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:57,599 that's yeah, basically what we do for one Pokemon. Yeah, one one 748 00:51:57,599 --> 00:52:04,440 Pokemon rule. But than Sean uh ever, ever, the Eager Beaver yeah 749 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,559 has has set up a little presentation for us today. That's right. So 750 00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:12,039 my question to you all, I have a variety of suggestions. I I 751 00:52:12,199 --> 00:52:15,639 utilize my powers of the giant bomb Twitter account, I ask people. I 752 00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:19,800 got some many friends of the site to help us out a little bit with 753 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:23,800 this. We got all kinds of moms for everyone to appreciate today because moms 754 00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:27,679 are great. We got Mother's Day coming up or the weekend. That's why 755 00:52:27,679 --> 00:52:30,400 we're doing this. We're not just horny for no reason, nor do with 756 00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:35,719 anything never. No, My question to you all is, uh, what's 757 00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:37,880 the format we're doing here? You want to do like a top five? 758 00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,559 Do you want to just pick the one the mom like? Because I you 759 00:52:40,559 --> 00:52:44,480 know, we we've been doing a lot of wares. I'm not sure that 760 00:52:45,159 --> 00:52:51,199 it's per se. Don't want to draft moms. Something about drafting moms and 761 00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,800 like and like putting a top like moms to do a top five seems tawdry. 762 00:52:55,159 --> 00:53:00,079 But something about like good work tear ranking them doesn't feel bad for some 763 00:53:00,119 --> 00:53:06,519 reason. But so so let's tell the mom how good she is. Yeah, 764 00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,519 given arbitrary rating to the mom. Three men saying, hey, we 765 00:53:10,639 --> 00:53:15,679 really like this one. But let's just not like mom queen, right, 766 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:19,280 like prom queen, Like, let's just just mom queen. We're not saying 767 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,360 that anyone else is like like bad or anything. We're just saying, no, 768 00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,280 you're this year's number one mom, top mom. Okay, mom of 769 00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:29,320 the year, Mom of the year. Yeah, I like mom queen because 770 00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:32,039 then, uh, you know that mom would pull a mean girls and just 771 00:53:32,079 --> 00:53:36,400 break up the tr and give it to her fellow moms. Exactly. That's 772 00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,000 the good what the good mom is gonna do? Yes, yes, or, 773 00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,719 in the case of the mom we have on screen here, probably divide 774 00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:44,960 amongst the daughters. Yes, well, yeah, that's that's generosity, you 775 00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:49,000 know you I my mom used to eat the bad parts of food, or 776 00:53:49,119 --> 00:53:52,480 not the bad parts of food, but like, uh yeah, like, 777 00:53:52,559 --> 00:53:53,800 oh, I don't want this piece of chicken anymore because I ate all the 778 00:53:53,840 --> 00:54:04,599 skin. Mom it okay, uh we have on the screen here, lady, 779 00:54:04,639 --> 00:54:07,559 d yes, we do. I want to ask you guys, first, 780 00:54:07,599 --> 00:54:10,239 do you have any suggestions throughout the right away that you thought of ahead 781 00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:14,960 time when we were like mulling this over or anything. For Telly's mother from 782 00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:21,039 Goonies two, well, I think gaming Goodies Too is a video game. 783 00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,199 It's not a movie. There is no Goonies to movie. God you kids. 784 00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:28,920 Yeah, I wouldn't know that because I'm not ancient. Your dinosaur. 785 00:54:29,119 --> 00:54:30,599 Also, it's a joke. Yeah, yeah, we're not doing for Telly's 786 00:54:30,639 --> 00:54:38,519 mom. Uh well, you know cooking mama. There's Bayonetta. There's certain 787 00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:45,760 characters in Catherine that can be mom adjacent, defending on how you play that 788 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:50,320 game. Yes, the nurse in one in Persona four? Is it Persona 789 00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:52,360 four or is it five? Oh yeah yeah, like like the evil nurse. 790 00:54:52,639 --> 00:54:57,519 Yeah yeah, yeah, that's not evil to me. Buddy, she 791 00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:01,320 bad you though, I can fix her. Okay, okay, yeah, 792 00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:06,599 I'll defer to you. Sean and your mom mom Pertisse cool. Well, 793 00:55:06,639 --> 00:55:10,639 obviously the first one I had on my mind was Lady Dimitrisque from Resident Evil 794 00:55:10,679 --> 00:55:15,480 eight. I think she's a modern mom, that good mother or to her 795 00:55:15,559 --> 00:55:21,079 children, also a mommy as we as the Internet has reminded us going down 796 00:55:21,119 --> 00:55:23,440 the line. Here some suggestions that people have brought to us. I think 797 00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:27,280 I am mind lined up here. First, I have, first of all, 798 00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,519 your mom from the Pokemon sit. Yeah, that first person, first 799 00:55:30,519 --> 00:55:34,840 person you talk to and you like head out on your way for most journeys 800 00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,800 and everything, you know. I also I do I like her representation as 801 00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:42,519 a mother of like, no, you need to go out there and do 802 00:55:42,639 --> 00:55:44,960 your thing. I understand that, but I do still love you and I 803 00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:46,679 carry you. I'm here, like I'm here for you when if you want 804 00:55:46,679 --> 00:55:51,480 to come home and like just talk, I'm here, trust you. She 805 00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,320 she is a Pokemon center in her back pocket, you know. And hey, 806 00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:58,480 in some games, she even saves your money for you because she knows 807 00:55:58,519 --> 00:56:01,800 that you are bad at that exactly. I like that my real mom. 808 00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:06,920 Yeah, it's really warm, I think so. I definitely think she's up 809 00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:08,960 there. It's yeah, it's a it's a presence that you feel and you're 810 00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:14,559 not annoyed with, you know, she's not overbearing. Next, we have 811 00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:19,400 Lusimine, also from the Pokemon series, specifically Pokemon's Son and Moon. Now 812 00:56:19,519 --> 00:56:24,280 Lucimine is the mom to two of the protagonists's story who aren't You Sun and 813 00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:28,599 Moon actually has a solid story. Maybe now goes black and white. But 814 00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:30,360 I really enjoyed this. There's a lot going on there. It was really 815 00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:37,400 cool to have a Pokemon game that was about the family relationships and maybe even 816 00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:42,519 abusive relationships sometimes that can heal over time. And I think Lucimine is just 817 00:56:42,519 --> 00:56:45,280 a really cool character. And you know, she turns into this at the 818 00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,039 end of the game, and that's doing a lot for me. All right, 819 00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:52,360 Yeah yeah audio listeners. She falls victim to alien goop and things happen. 820 00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:57,079 Yeah, her hair goes from blonde to burnett, so now you know 821 00:56:57,159 --> 00:57:01,760 she's evil brenette rainbow colored goops like that. Okay, fair enough. Last 822 00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:07,480 one here from Pokemon. That's not a Pokemon at all. That's Elena Fisher 823 00:57:07,199 --> 00:57:12,280 from the Uncharted series. Where did I put the other mom from Pokemon? 824 00:57:13,559 --> 00:57:15,519 Are you okay? Can I guess what the mom you were going to bring 825 00:57:15,599 --> 00:57:19,280 up? Uh? Do you know what it is? We'll say it. 826 00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:22,800 We'll say it. But Elena Fisher from Uncharted. Uh, if you've played 827 00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:27,440 Uncharted for you know becomes a mom eventually. Yep. Yeah, I think 828 00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,760 we talk about that now. Yeah, and she like she does a good 829 00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:32,519 job, like you know, this is before I think they have the kid, 830 00:57:32,719 --> 00:57:37,920 but like having the night in where they're making dinner and playing like Crash 831 00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:39,760 Bandicoot and stuff. Again like make it, make it a house that like 832 00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:44,760 feels warm and safe and like it's a fun place to be. And then 833 00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:47,119 you get that sense like when you do jump forward spoiler warning for and Charge 834 00:57:47,119 --> 00:57:52,239 four you should have played already a bastards jumping forward to like when the kid 835 00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:53,719 is is older, you get the sense, just like looking around the house 836 00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:58,719 really quickly that that has been the the status quo ever sets just like these 837 00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:01,119 parents making a really nice home for this kid. Yeah. I like the 838 00:58:01,159 --> 00:58:04,639 way that game ended, in what was happening there, And frankly, I 839 00:58:04,679 --> 00:58:07,599 think that's why I'm okay on Charge for maybe being it for a while. 840 00:58:07,599 --> 00:58:13,840 Oh definite that way. Yeah, okay, so we actually do have Pokemon 841 00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:17,079 next if this works correctly, kengis gone all right, Yeah that's great. 842 00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:23,039 Yeah, Top Top, definitely Top. She's always looking out for her baby. 843 00:58:23,159 --> 00:58:27,360 And you know what, you know what Mega kingis Khan is I know, 844 00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:30,760 Jeff doesn't. The baby comes out of the power. Ah dang, 845 00:58:31,119 --> 00:58:35,000 that's all they do for Mega Kanusky. It's cool though, because they can 846 00:58:35,079 --> 00:58:38,559 double up attacks now that the baby's out the pouch. Yeah, iconic mom, 847 00:58:38,599 --> 00:58:42,960 I think definitely. Also, you know, Kengis Khan, normal type 848 00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:47,719 mom, just showing that motherhood. Uh, you don't need to be extra 849 00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:51,840 fancy. You can just be a normal mom and that's enough. How is 850 00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:55,199 this the first time I'm hearing the name Kengis Khan as in like kangaroo Genghis 851 00:58:55,280 --> 00:59:00,639 Khan. Yes, that's incredible. How is how are you Pokemons fans not 852 00:59:00,679 --> 00:59:05,880 talking about that constantly? Because there's because every name is a pun. I 853 00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,599 know, it's never so good. I know a lot of them are. 854 00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:13,440 See whenever you and Mike like stumble over this stuff, I'm like, yeah, 855 00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:15,920 it's just a pun. It's just the English words or some other stuff. 856 00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:22,880 Man, Mike apparently never realized that Phoenix moment. Grub grub here, 857 00:59:23,719 --> 00:59:27,480 Sean and I could probably bounce off maybe like two or three Pokemon. But 858 00:59:27,559 --> 00:59:30,079 like, what if I told you there is a Pokemon that is a sand 859 00:59:30,119 --> 00:59:37,599 castle or a pile of sand called pallow sand. They're so good at it. 860 00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:43,480 They are like a pile of pig is just a pile of swine. 861 00:59:44,039 --> 00:59:47,239 Ah, it's very good. What about this? What about this there's a 862 00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:53,840 chandelier ghost Pokemon called Chandelure. Oh yeah, I love it all. I 863 00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:58,400 love it. Okay, top to yourself. Did you know this one though, 864 00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:02,280 grub that it's called squirrel because he has like a squirrel like tail. 865 01:00:02,719 --> 01:00:06,840 Yeah, I did put that together, So a squirrel yeah, but and 866 01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:09,039 then he scores scorts water yea, yeah, yeah, there's layers to it. 867 01:00:09,159 --> 01:00:13,280 Yeah, that's I do. Always like appreciate that they are these companies. 868 01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:15,440 Well, Nintendo when they help out with the Pokemon company with the translation, 869 01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:20,559 always feel like they have to have the triple entendra. Sometimes they challenge 870 01:00:20,559 --> 01:00:22,639 themselves. They're very good at what they do. Sometimes it doesn't always hit, 871 01:00:22,639 --> 01:00:27,000 but they're very Yeah. Just don't look up the Japanese name for umbrion 872 01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,360 over, look up the Japanese name from I know that one. Moving on, 873 01:00:31,079 --> 01:00:35,119 we have some suggestions that I got off of Twitter. First off, 874 01:00:35,159 --> 01:00:39,440 pretty obvious one. Mother brain did not think of this one. Now. 875 01:00:39,599 --> 01:00:46,000 Not a great mother, not a good mother. Yeah, see, kind 876 01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:51,360 of abusive relationship with anyone who might call her mom right exactly. Not nurturing. 877 01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:53,840 But if you're not gonna be a mother with with nurturing, be one 878 01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:58,239 with fear and she definitely has that going for her. So yeah. And 879 01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:00,280 also from the Metroid series. You know, I didn't include this because it's 880 01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:05,719 a loose connection, but Samus is kind of a mom because the baby Yeah, 881 01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:09,960 yes, totally imprinted honors. He kind of counts there. Next we 882 01:01:10,079 --> 01:01:14,480 have the mom from Night in the Woods. I'm sorry if this character is 883 01:01:14,519 --> 01:01:15,400 a name, I haven't played the game. I didn't know I played it, 884 01:01:16,199 --> 01:01:22,360 don't remember. Okay. Also the mom from Yeah, which I've heard 885 01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:23,639 very good things about, Jane. I believe you played this, right, 886 01:01:24,079 --> 01:01:28,280 Yeah, this This almost cracked my top ten lists last year. This is 887 01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:32,639 a very emotional game, emotionally driven game, and I think they recently are 888 01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:37,119 there in the process of releasing a little cookbook based off of the in the 889 01:01:37,119 --> 01:01:40,400 game, right right, yeah, yeah, very sweet game. Yeah, 890 01:01:40,519 --> 01:01:45,400 all about your relationship with your mom and like how do you play as a 891 01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:49,400 mom at first, and then the perspective shifts to the sun pictured here. 892 01:01:49,639 --> 01:01:52,400 Okay, Yeah, And it's just like the general the tale as old as 893 01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:59,320 time of like children up growing their parents and then the parents getting upset about 894 01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:04,519 that, and then y'all eventually finding each other through circumstances at the end. 895 01:02:05,599 --> 01:02:10,400 All right, Uh, Vanilla the Rabbit Jeff Grubb's favorite character series. Of 896 01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:13,519 course, Yeah, I did not. Oh, I guess she kind of 897 01:02:13,519 --> 01:02:16,800 looks mommy in this I see. I mean she's literally Creamed the Rabbit's mom. 898 01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:20,320 Okay, you know, all right, I just when I when I 899 01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:22,800 look at these characters, I just assumed that was also Cream the Rabbit. 900 01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,920 I didn't realize separate characters. I didn't know their Cream the Rabbit had a 901 01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:30,840 mom. Yeah, what game is this from? She from? Uh, 902 01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:35,440 she's just you know, she pops up there in the ether. Yeah, 903 01:02:35,519 --> 01:02:39,639 she's like she's I think she actually may have originated from the anime from SoC 904 01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:44,559 X, but then they added her into like SoC Advance because Cream's in there, 905 01:02:44,599 --> 01:02:49,320 and yeah, she's she's popped up Cream the Rabbit. Everyone. Yeah, 906 01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:52,440 yeah, Cream the Rabbit and Vanilla the Rabbit her mom. Sehn did 907 01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:59,559 not stutter. He stood on business. That's on God for real. Uh. 908 01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:06,920 We have Kazumi from the Tacking series is Kasia Mishimos. She is a 909 01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:13,880 badass because she hired a Kuma to go and kill Hey Hachi, that's pretty 910 01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:15,679 sick. That's so sick. That's how they got Kuma into the series. 911 01:03:15,679 --> 01:03:20,840 It's pretty cool. Yeah right. Also, as Marina points out, she 912 01:03:21,039 --> 01:03:23,840 wields a tiger, which is pretty bad. Okay, that's she brandishes one 913 01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:27,760 is what we're saying. Okay, she will she will put the sick the 914 01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:31,199 tiger on you in battle. That brings a whole new definition to the term 915 01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:40,000 tiger mom. We have Sonya Blade from the Mortal Kombat series here. You 916 01:03:40,039 --> 01:03:45,440 know, we're not going to talk about me some of the portrayals necessarily, 917 01:03:45,719 --> 01:03:50,280 but she is the mom. She is mom to the best Mortal Kombat character 918 01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:52,880 in Cassie Cage. Yes, wait what worth point one? Cassi Cage is 919 01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:55,920 great? You're right? Yeah? Who are you were going to say sub 920 01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:00,400 zero like a basic Yeah, yes, you got me. I know you, 921 01:04:00,519 --> 01:04:05,719 I know. We have Celene from Returnal, who is a mom. 922 01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:12,039 It doesn't come up often in the story, but you know there's stuff related 923 01:04:12,039 --> 01:04:15,280 to that in there, so we know she's a mom. Uh, Bayonetta. 924 01:04:15,519 --> 01:04:18,440 If you played Baonetta three, you know that she is a mom. 925 01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:23,280 Eventually, won't say more on that because I do still want people to play 926 01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:26,559 his game, but yeah, I will play it. I own that game. 927 01:04:26,719 --> 01:04:29,639 For some reason. I just never really played it. I definitely think 928 01:04:29,679 --> 01:04:34,320 if you were to ask someone about their Mount Rushmore of moms, Baonetta would 929 01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:39,440 be like on that mountain if you said Mount Rushmore of Mommy's for sure. 930 01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:42,039 Yeah, bare minimom. She's a mommy. I know that. I think 931 01:04:42,159 --> 01:04:45,679 some people may not be aware that she has become a mom because they may 932 01:04:45,719 --> 01:04:47,519 not played Banet three because there is she was with that game. But you 933 01:04:47,519 --> 01:04:49,920 know, if you were if you were a video game character and you could 934 01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:53,320 choose anyone to be your mom, I think Bayonetta would be up there. 935 01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:59,159 Yep. Then we have Jesse from Honeypop. Someone suggested this on behalf of 936 01:04:59,199 --> 01:05:02,320 one Mike Manatti his favorite. We all there you go. I hope you're 937 01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:09,079 happy. Yeah, we can move on to the next one. We have 938 01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:14,440 the boss from the Middle Gear Solid series, biological mom to revolver oslot as 939 01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:19,840 I recall and also a mother figure throughout the series to variety people. Uh 940 01:05:20,039 --> 01:05:27,559 as well as Ava aka Big Mama, who is the mom of what Solid 941 01:05:27,559 --> 01:05:32,239 and Liquid I got to replay the Metal Gear games. Yeah, I need 942 01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:36,239 when you were talking about doing that, and I know that. We have 943 01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:41,760 a feature where Dan guided Drew through it. What if we just did it 944 01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:44,920 all again? What if we just played what if we just didn't metal grubs 945 01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:50,280 solid because he hasn't played all his games. Metal grub Solid fits. Yeah, 946 01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:56,760 is like timeless. We love to get you fingerless gloves and like a 947 01:05:56,800 --> 01:06:00,920 headband. Definitely tiktoks with that like Joyed a Vision song plays over it or 948 01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:04,320 whatever. Yeah, that's good stuff. I'll uh yeah, I like that 949 01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:08,880 metal gear Janlin, We'll do that metal grub Jandlin. There we go. 950 01:06:10,559 --> 01:06:15,880 I'll pick up smoking yeah, hell yeah, you string me as the Copperson 951 01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:17,679 who has at least smoked once in his life Joan. Yeah, yeah, 952 01:06:17,719 --> 01:06:23,159 we don't need we can, I believe. Next, we have a couple 953 01:06:23,199 --> 01:06:27,360 of suggestions from friends of the site. Once Steve Kim said, Nessa's mom, 954 01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:30,719 Oh yeah, okay, yeah, who is just apparently called mom? 955 01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:34,360 I learned today we never got a name. Yeah, kind similar to the 956 01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:39,400 Pokemon mom, kind of just always looking out for you and everything. She 957 01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:45,199 looks very pleasant, Mike Minati said, Princess Pete specifically in Super Mario Sunshine 958 01:06:45,239 --> 01:06:49,880 where she says I'm your mama, Like she wouldn't remember that happening to Bowser, 959 01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:56,039 junior. That portrayal of her in that game is so fucking weird. 960 01:06:57,519 --> 01:07:00,400 Real she has never had a thought before? Is how they write that character 961 01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:05,679 in that game. It's bizarre. It's it always made me feel weird. 962 01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:09,760 Yeah, I didn't like it as a kid. Say it gave me the 963 01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:16,079 ick, yeah for real. And then we had a few suggestions of Foul 964 01:07:16,119 --> 01:07:23,199 Fantasy characters. We have I Fauna Aris biological mom, and Elmira her adoptive 965 01:07:23,239 --> 01:07:26,360 mom. All right, but both good moms in their own ways, you 966 01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:29,920 know, like it's important that we represent all the different kinds of moms out 967 01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:32,840 there. I think these are two very good representations. Yes, shouts out 968 01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:39,320 to adoptive moms. Yep. We have, of course, my favorite Foul 969 01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:45,840 Fantasy mom, the immaculately named Claudia Strife. I loves that one. Oh 970 01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:47,840 yeah, for real. That's a good gift. That's a good gift. 971 01:07:48,199 --> 01:07:53,280 I know. Look, I know what I'm doing here, jan And then 972 01:07:54,039 --> 01:07:59,119 following that up is, you know, things start to get a little nasty 973 01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,360 up in here. And keeping on the f F seven theme one, John 974 01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:10,800 Carson said, Genova, and what's going on there? Did you you've played 975 01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:13,920 the original f F seven, right, not really. He's also seen the 976 01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,840 scene in Rebirth in the Stream that we did with Tam for four hours. 977 01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:20,000 Okay, well that's a long time. I'm sure I forgot what happened in 978 01:08:20,119 --> 01:08:26,079 the middle. I don't know, not even the middle in the middle two 979 01:08:26,079 --> 01:08:32,199 hours early yeah. Yeah. Uh. John also mentioned Professor Soda from Pokemon 980 01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:38,640 Scarlet, specifically, she is one of the main characters moms and also one 981 01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:43,960 may argue a mommy, yeah, I like the cave lady. Look is 982 01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:46,960 that what? That's what's going on here? They do future and past stuff, 983 01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:50,920 and so if you play Violet and you have the dad, he's a 984 01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:56,319 future dude. If you play Scarlet, you have a Sada who is a 985 01:08:56,319 --> 01:08:59,119 cave woman. I should probably talk to someone about that. Why is that 986 01:08:59,159 --> 01:09:03,479 doing anything for me? Well? You probably Flintstones was very informative. Okay, 987 01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:09,119 sure, that's what it is. You also hang out with Mike Manatti, 988 01:09:09,159 --> 01:09:15,119 who thinks about the Flintstones constantly. One Alex Aiken said Sarah Carrigan, 989 01:09:15,359 --> 01:09:19,479 queen of the Brood Mothers, And here we can see on the cover of 990 01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:24,600 the fantastic novel by one Jeff Grubb. Oh, congrats, Jeff I'm sorry, 991 01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:30,319 Yeah he's not here. Oh okay. Eric Van Allen suggested cooking Mama 992 01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:36,640 fav Oh yeah, classic. I've never you know how our homies at game 993 01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:45,439 Spot do expert reacts. It's primarily the firearms guy. I want to do 994 01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:47,800 a spoof on that. And I guess I could pitch this to them, 995 01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:54,880 and I could pitch it and then just to prove it of like maybe we 996 01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:59,800 get a chef and reacting to the techniques and Cooking Mama to see if it's 997 01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:01,760 sim Oh, there are so many games could do that with. Yeah, 998 01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:09,439 I like that. Jan tmtmtm tmtmt Uh one Jesse Vittelli said from Hades, 999 01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:14,399 Oh yeah, oh yeah, I believe you said, and I quote mother 1000 01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:20,920 and mommy yes vote yeah for sure both.

Yeah, this, like my mom is quickly 1003 01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:31,640 approaching this. I love it. This is my favorite. Like trope of 1004 01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:36,399 a mom is just like a little old and Britain. It reminds me of 1005 01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:42,239 the grandma from Unravel, where it's like she's character at the very beginning there 1006 01:10:42,239 --> 01:10:45,199 and then you're like taking her a little string. That's who You're like trying 1007 01:10:45,199 --> 01:10:46,640 to link her back to her children. Like, yeah, that's cool, 1008 01:10:47,199 --> 01:10:51,560 okay uh. And then I nominated a democracy, the mother of all that 1009 01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:56,640 is good in the galaxy. Yeah, to the motherland of Super Earth, 1010 01:10:56,760 --> 01:10:59,640 of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no arguments here, 1011 01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:05,199 buddy, exactly. And now we did have a couple mommy suggestions. You 1012 01:11:05,239 --> 01:11:11,479 guys are wrestling people. Who is this? That's mommy, that's mommy. 1013 01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:15,119 Yes, that's Raya Ripley. Who is mommy? I see, uh huh. 1014 01:11:15,399 --> 01:11:19,359 I'll just take your word from from Jan's dear audio listeners, the expression 1015 01:11:19,359 --> 01:11:24,279 on Jan's face when I brought this picture up. She'd say everything. And 1016 01:11:24,319 --> 01:11:28,840 then last one here one. Eric Van Allen is back to nominate Yesola from 1017 01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:31,600 Final Fantasy fourteen, who, as he points out in from the manga, 1018 01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:39,239 Yesla is secretly called mommy among her students. Well you did it, you 1019 01:11:39,319 --> 01:11:43,600 really did it. Here we are here, we are. I forget most 1020 01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:45,800 of the moms, so I'm gonna struggle to remember which ones name one hundred 1021 01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:51,920 women. Jeff Gruff, I'm busy that day. I can't all right, 1022 01:11:53,880 --> 01:12:00,000 who's mamma? Here. Who's I like Pokemon Mom. I also like Pokemon 1023 01:12:00,079 --> 01:12:03,880 on mom. I also like Keangus gone, but Kengis Gone is like jen 1024 01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:11,119 one mom. But I do appreciate the discovery that Jeff Grubb and Mike Minatti 1025 01:12:11,199 --> 01:12:23,000 had today. Forget what it was, Yes, Kazumian Tiger, Oh you 1026 01:12:23,039 --> 01:12:25,600 know what? That was my other front runner. Actually I like that a 1027 01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:29,439 lot. That's good. Kind of just wants to beat up her family, 1028 01:12:30,039 --> 01:12:32,039 you know, you know what when when you're in the ring, you know, 1029 01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:36,039 crowning the king of the Iron fist. That's very respectable. I do 1030 01:12:36,199 --> 01:12:39,960 like the idea of like the giant bom Twitter kind of just saying three men 1031 01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:45,560 have decided that Keanngis Khan is the is the mom of the year. That's 1032 01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:47,720 pretty good. See now, now, Jeff, are you thinking about the 1033 01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:57,079 goofs or the prestige and we need to remove the Goose prestige? I'm always 1034 01:12:57,079 --> 01:12:59,359 thinking about both, Jane, you know me, Yeah, that's right, 1035 01:12:59,359 --> 01:13:04,079 that's right. Prestige is just nothing but goose. I do like that. 1036 01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:09,680 But but Sean, I'm I don't remember ever seeing this character in Teken, 1037 01:13:10,319 --> 01:13:13,560 So when she you just do a combo, she brings out a tiger, 1038 01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,640 it's well he moves. Yeah, I believe it's a once per round thing. 1039 01:13:17,319 --> 01:13:19,760 Or maybe I'm mixing up in our character. I'm not a huge second 1040 01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:24,560 guy, but yeah, grub. Imagine you were watching a UFC fight and 1041 01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:29,319 then someone brings out a tiger for one move. I like, I mean 1042 01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:38,880 Brandia tiger and uh and hiring assassin a kuma. Yeah, let's do it? 1043 01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:41,159 Is that it is that our front runner? I think I think that's 1044 01:13:41,199 --> 01:13:44,159 that's our mom because I mean I think it's a Pokemon mom kngus con or 1045 01:13:44,199 --> 01:13:47,319 Kazumi. Yeah. Yeah, that Game of the Year where it's like the 1046 01:13:47,319 --> 01:13:54,159 two runners. That's top three bars. It is okaygory okay, Sean, 1047 01:13:54,199 --> 01:13:57,880 do you want to you want to do the honors in crowning the mommies of 1048 01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:00,399 the year, Mom of the Year. The Moms of the Year are in 1049 01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:05,119 I guess no particular order, tied for a second and third Pokemon your Mom, 1050 01:14:05,359 --> 01:14:12,079 as well as also from Pokemon Kangas Khan a fantastic pun and then it 1051 01:14:12,079 --> 01:14:15,520 seems like we are crowning for a mom a year, the Tiger mommy herself, 1052 01:14:16,159 --> 01:14:20,000 Cosmi, Oh my god, does an uppercut and the tiger comes out 1053 01:14:20,159 --> 01:14:25,760 come is part of the uppercut. That's amazing. How why is this the 1054 01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:30,800 first time I'm hearing of this? This is amazing. We as a society 1055 01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:33,479 should stop doing things we already we already peaked with tiger mom right, and 1056 01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:36,960 it really makes Sgott look like a bitch because he's like tiger flame and it's 1057 01:14:38,039 --> 01:14:42,880 just fire or whatever. Yeah, what a loser? What a loser gets 1058 01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:45,159 some tiger wind uppercut in your move set? Yeah, dank, you pull 1059 01:14:45,159 --> 01:14:47,760 that up real quick. He can people see the tiger upper. Okay, 1060 01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:53,199 weld on, let me just do a window cap. Uh, let's do 1061 01:14:53,319 --> 01:14:58,880 this and then well I just grumble away. Yeah, grumbling into like the 1062 01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:00,359 best thing you can do when you have to things in obs. It makes 1063 01:15:00,359 --> 01:15:05,039 things to go faster. I find Yeah, it's a grumbled it's a grumbled 1064 01:15:05,039 --> 01:15:12,239 based piece of software. It is save this image. It's a web peeking 1065 01:15:12,319 --> 01:15:15,760 obs just fine. Oh okay, well, if it's a gift, well 1066 01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:21,960 let's find out. Let's find out together. Why why not? All right 1067 01:15:23,119 --> 01:15:26,199 and just bring in this image here? It is great for audio listeners. 1068 01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:29,880 So guy did have a tiger and street Fighter five well then he should be 1069 01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:34,279 someone's mother too. Uh and this image is not okay, okay, let 1070 01:15:34,279 --> 01:15:38,560 me just do it with window catch boy, don't worry. Don't worry. 1071 01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:40,640 I'll cut this out of the audio versus no, no, no, keep 1072 01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:45,319 it in. Yeah.

They look expect the one shirted speedway. Yes, seven eleven is 1077 01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:08,479 speedway. Apparently I think seven eleven bought speedway.

That's right, Yeah, good thinking, because it could 1082 01:16:27,119 --> 01:16:31,119 be the tiger's mom could be a mom's a tiger.
