00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:27.519
Hey, everybody, it's Friday.
Take off your pants, kick the shoes

2
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:33.840
off. We're being real relaxed today
on Bumbcast Revengeance powered by n z xty.

3
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:37.479
That's rights. It may be twelve
o'clock where I'm at, but maybe

4
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:41.560
later where you're at. So light
up up, boys and girls and nbes

5
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.039
whatever you want to light up.
Maybe it's a candle, maybe it's a

6
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.920
game scent of your choice. Make
sure to share with your loved ones today,

7
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:53.439
folks. I'm Jada Choe, your
host joined always co captain of the

8
00:00:53.479 --> 00:01:00.280
ship. He's smelling of various fragrances
such as tire fires clean and what else

9
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.640
do we got on the dock at
Jeff Grubb Listen, every smell you could

10
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:07.560
think of was happening in my basement
anytime I'm live on the internet because of

11
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.799
Dan Reicherd. 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. Yeah. It's nice
when when when I first started working

159
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:30.440
with the crew, and uh,
y'all said, what do we do before?

160
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.799
Sean, that's now the feeling I
have with Emma, like what we

161
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:35.879
do before? Emma? Yeah,
Yeah, it's like, oh God,

162
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:41.240
when we're left to our own devices. Just stuff happens. It's just you

163
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:45.720
know, game since going off again. Oh boy, oh boy. 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. Oh hell yeah,
let's go collecting belts left and right.

718
00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:37.360
Mister, you get a you got
a gas break dip out of here,

719
00:49:37.360 --> 00:49:40.320
don't you. I do. Everyone
have a great weekend. Thank you

720
00:49:40.400 --> 00:49:46.679
for humoring that you're dealing with today. Yeah, okay, yeah, likewise,

721
00:49:47.679 --> 00:49:52.760
take it easy everybody. Bye bye, Levey you s bye. Oh

722
00:49:53.039 --> 00:49:57.239
oops, now people can see what
was behind Jeff. Uh. Do you

723
00:49:57.480 --> 00:50:00.360
just need a quick bricky break before
we get to the hot topic of the

724
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:06.199
week or you get to keep a
small one? All right, let's fad

725
00:50:06.239 --> 00:50:12.599
the black real quick. We'll see
you right after this hot topic on BombCast

726
00:50:12.599 --> 00:50:19.199
Revengeance Moms. We were really I
had this thorowly idea earlier in the week

727
00:50:19.559 --> 00:50:22.039
and then I thought, I can
only think of cooking Mama as an actual

728
00:50:22.159 --> 00:50:25.159
Yeah, you're a coward at Janet
Show. Oh don't worry, we know

729
00:50:25.440 --> 00:50:30.199
because I was just thinking of Shoot
moms, I am too, dude.

730
00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:32.920
We got well, I mean,
we got both on the screen right now.

731
00:50:34.239 --> 00:50:37.960
We have moms. We got mommies. Jan I am offended that you

732
00:50:37.079 --> 00:50:40.599
promised me moms and you want to
weasel your way on this. No,

733
00:50:40.719 --> 00:50:47.679
I say, nay, sir,
I will have my mommy episode episode all

734
00:50:47.800 --> 00:50:55.599
right. Thank god we didn't have
like a like Lucy Bailey. Bailey would

735
00:50:55.639 --> 00:51:00.400
be so down for this, don't
you. 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. Uh. Someone suggested link's grandma.

1001
01:10:20.960 --> 01:10:25.079
Who Hey, she's a mom to
someone exactly. You gotta be a

1002
01:10:25.079 --> 01:10:28.720
mom to be a grandma. 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. This is
when someone is listening to a podcast and

1073
01:15:45.319 --> 01:15:48.079
they're like, oh crap, like
I gotta go do something real quick.

1074
01:15:48.680 --> 01:15:53.720
This is this is your bathroom break. This is this is peak I got.

1075
01:15:55.079 --> 01:15:58.359
I got my Tetras shirts from seven
to eleven. I'm very happy about

1076
01:15:58.399 --> 01:16:02.720
that. 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. So yes, a couple

1078
01:16:08.479 --> 01:16:12.680
of them say speed seven eleven,
such speedway. There, I'll get that.

1079
01:16:12.960 --> 01:16:17.239
Look that. Wow. And you
know what, we don't we don't

1080
01:16:17.239 --> 01:16:20.720
know about this tiger. I mean
maybe we do. This tiger could also

1081
01:16:20.760 --> 01:16:27.079
be a mom. 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. Wow, layers layers

1083
01:16:31.560 --> 01:16:34.960
are we you know what? We
don't need to relitigate this because I was

1084
01:16:35.000 --> 01:16:41.920
gonna pause it is she a bad
mom because gin doesn't seem super cool?

1085
01:16:42.560 --> 01:16:45.680
But what if the kids vibes are
bad? Yeah, I mean the kids

1086
01:16:45.800 --> 01:16:48.880

be pretty rantid all right, Yeah she
