Speaker 1: It's the Internet. You're busy, Let's do this. Welcome to
the Game Mesticides podcast. This is the podcast where we
decide everything about the world of games, so you never
have to think for yourself.
Speaker 2: I'm your host, Jeff Grubbin. With me is Mike Manatti.
Speaker 1: And today's episode is Atlas remaking Persona four?
Speaker 2: And is it spoon heavy Time?
Speaker 1: And is Steam coming to Xbox sooner than expected.
Speaker 2: We'll discuss all that and more. But first, Mike Manatti,
how are you doing. I'm good. I'm good. My computer
came in. I have a new computer, so gonna put
that together hopefully tomorrow evening after after all the day's
bomb cast stuff. So I'm all right for that. Yeah,
so it's good. It's good. I'm excited to play some
games in sixtys. There's like a bunch of games I
haven't been playing, like Monster Hunter while it's even a vow,
because I just don't love the way they look on
my computer. Which is fine, because you know, I was
playing so much Shoo Point Museum. I even played around
of six seven today instead in that game, you know,
we should.
Speaker 1: Still do that multiplayer Sift seven thing that keeps popping
up in my head like, oh, Mike was right, we
should do that, even though you know the moment has
passed a little bit. But no, I think we could
still do that. Apparently you can do it about two
and a half three hours, so.
Speaker 2: A slightly longer grubs gimmicks maybe or a upf we
can make that happen. Yeah, it'd be fun. Yeah, I'm
happy for you. I'm excited. It should be a pretty
big difference to hope. So I'll tell you what, because
it'd be disappointing if it's not. That's yeah, good point,
but it should be.
Speaker 1: And then are you going to take the old one
and set up like a two PC setup for stream?
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe something. I have this space over
here where this keyboard has been forever. I don't really
play anymore, so I am eventually going to put that
computer over here and figure out what I can do
with that. So we'll see. Yep.
Speaker 1: Well, like I said, looking forward to you getting that
all set up. You're gonna have aj come over and
swap things out and all that stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the capture cards, some of the hard drives. Did
you have like a dedicated game drive or something like that,
like one of the SSDs is like that one. I
don't say dedicate because I have two big ones in there,
and then this one came with a pretty big one anyways. Also,
so I gotta make sure I have stuff like this
one has like one that I don't think is so
easy to take out that I got to make sure
I transfer to the other one. So yeah, I'm not
going to be hurting for a storage space.
Speaker 1: That's yeah fantastic. Well, like I said, looking forward to it. Uh,

Speaker 1: H Okay, Mike, I got some big topics. Let me

you say five minutes. That seems to better.
Speaker 2: David do the NSL games first. I can't wait. Chet's
got spoil it for me, fair enough. Yeah, let's take
a look here.
Speaker 1: All right, it is a Super Nintendo drop for March
twenty twenty five. This happened eight minutes ago. Mike, any
guesses Super Nintendo. I'm trying to think what's missing from
Super Nintendo. They have a lot of those big ones there.
It's also the one that has some of the weirder
third party things like tough Enough thinks you would not
expect to be in there. I'm gonna I'm gonna hope
it gets hope that's Sparkster's in there. All right, Well here,
let's start with this one. Actually, it's kind of relevant
to a game that just came out, Assassin's Creed Shadows.
No Bonaga's Ambition is coming to Super Nintendo Online Service.
Let's see what is the next that that is? Like,
it's like a strategy game.
Speaker 2: Is one of those Koe things. It's one of those
Koe ones. Yeah, okay, God, I watched a lot of videos,
but those recently late Liberty or Death again, it's actually
kind of interesting.
Speaker 1: Sure, and no, No Banaga's Ambition is like one of
those that people talk about and then pulleys bring up
a kind see.
Speaker 2: What the next one is here?
Speaker 1: Hey, this is this might be in the same thing here,
Romance of the Three Kingdom's Wall of Fire.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, and now I'm going to be surprised that
the other one isn't Liberty or Death or like the
one where you make airports that they did.
Speaker 1: All right, let's see this one seems to be kind
of yes, this is another Koe one New Horizons cap.
I don't know what this one is, but it looks
like a seafaring sort of mercantile like yeah, Uncharted Waters
New Horizons is.
Speaker 2: Actually what it's called. Okay, I wonder God interesting man
is somebody in Nintendo also a snatch drunk fan because
he like just went through all of these games recently
on his channel.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's THEE and then the last one is I'm sorry,
not Liberty and Death. It's Nobunaga's ambition, Lord of Darkness,
the nineteen ninety four sequel from Koe Tech. Well just
Kobe back then, just just Koe just normal, just normal,
regular vanilla Coe. Okay, yeah, those are coming, it probably
says somewhere, but oh, March twenty eighth, so in about
a way.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, let's see, Like you know, I don't know,
I'll do. I'm gonna get into these, but I'm glad
that they're also like they got form right away. They're
gonna make their own nice little row. I really love
organizing my nso libraries and now the one's missing, so
they got to figure that whole thing out again, right,
So yeah, sure.
Speaker 1: Sure, I think I will. I'll check out this Uncharted
Waters New Horizons. That seems that seems like almost a
form of sid Meier's Pirates but maybe, well not maybe
definitely more Japanese.
Speaker 2: And I'm like that sounds I think that's supposed to
be one of the better ones. That the people like
that one. Okay, I'm I'm excited. It looks right up
my alley. This is great. This is like these are
even if these aren't necessarily like my games, these are
interesting games. There are interesting picks. It's a big drop
a bunch of games at once, and it's you know,
their party. They had to do a little work and
talk to people. So uh hey nice mm hm alright,
let's see here. Then let's get into this other stuff.
Speaker 1: Persona four remake domain was discovered P four ri dot jp.
That's very similar to the time someone discovered P three
ri dot jp. Uh for a Persona three reloaded. The
assumption here is same thing once again. Run it back,
but this time for Persona four.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: And you know, even without this, people are I think
are just assuming we are going to get this. Persona
four is even with Golden a relatively ancient game by
modern standards, not that there's anything wrong with.
Speaker 2: Playing Persona four goal and it's still a game that
holds up. I always love you forgetting it's a PlayStation
two game or one.
Speaker 1: Time forgetting it, Like it sends me like it just
doesn't make any sense in my lid.
Speaker 2: It was a very late PS two game. Well, and
a PS three was was a thing at that point, right.
Speaker 1: But it's like then that means Persona five is the
one that was a late PS three game, which is
also incredibly fucked up to me.
Speaker 2: I just forever and yeah, I mean I think I
got it on PS four. Its it just came out
for both by the game, right most people. Most people did,
but it was a late PS three game. That's the thing.
That's why it like runs really well when you try
to emulate it or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is happening in just is everyone like
kind of is in agreement that we're going to see
this eventually, will probably get it before Persona six.
Speaker 2: I guess, I'm I don't know, you tell me, yeah,
this I maybe because maybe that Persona three Reload team
they instead of you know, they maybe they just went
straight to this and it's actually that Studio zero, the
metaphor Refantasio team that is going straight to Persona six.
And you know a Persona four remake won't take as
much time as a Persona six. It those seems pretty early, right,
Three person Thly Reload is just a year old. These
are fool remakes of these games. You know, they're following
the format of the other ones pretty closely, but still
it's pretty much new assets. I think it is entirely
new assets. The personas they get to just use from
Persona five. Those have already been modeled. You know. It's
if you told me this is coming out in a year,
like wow, a two year turnaround from the last one.
It's pretty uh, pretty surprising. But maybe they can do it. Yeah,
you know, people want to draw direct parallels. When we
heard about Persona three's website getting registered, which did happen.
I don't really remember when that happens, So I just
read this in a story today. If this is accurate,
it's like, oh, that got discovered in three months later
Persona three Reload was here. There's no reason to assume
us discovering the website at this point means three months
later Persona four reload is here or remake, remaster whatever
they're gonna call it, reshuffle, reshuffle there no, no, no,
no rerun, rerun Okay yeah, okay, cute. I like it.
Speaker 1: So you know, really, in all likelihood, they are probably
registering the website.
Speaker 2: Wait, like shit, rewind.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I understand what it's like to talk to you
PERSONA fans like, I get it. We think about your colors,
you like to think about your naming schemes.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna yeah, happy for you. No, yeah, you're right.
I mean I can't imagine the thing coming out in
a matter of months. Again, Relow was not that long ago.
Refontasio was even less ago. It doesn't need to be
that soon, Like, please actually give us a little bit
more time. Uh.
Speaker 1: Speaking of things getting mentioned, uh, Xbox mentioned.
Speaker 2: No more to say about Persona. He well, tell me
about Persona. I'm very excited about this, chef Persona four.
I'm happy for you.
Speaker 1: Yea, this is like really when I fully started hearing
about Persona. Obviously, Persona three did break out, it was
a breakout hit. But Persona four it's like it seems
like everyone was playing it and super into. A big
part of that was Kirsten. It was Persona four that
they did the extended run.
Speaker 2: I actually never watched that series over a giant bomb
what's it called? Ye?
Speaker 1: And that was that was for Persona four. I remember
people talking about that. That kind of came to me
through osmosis and it seemed like everybody that was their
favorite ship ever, and so I'm like, Okay, that sounds cool.
It's a very cool way to play that game. And
then because of that, seemed like and many more people
ended up touching it, So I know it's an important
game for a lot of people. Like what kind did
changes should people expect?
Speaker 2: Do you think? Yeah? I mean, so you know, the
big updated graphics will be a part of it, just
like we got in three. It's some adjustments to the
battlesystem being a three, but nothing super crazy.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: There there will be new voice actors like three did,
and that's fine, and there will be some kind of Yeah,
the music will be redone and there will be some
new music. There will also be some sensitivity changes, which
are very much welcome and needed. Those were great for three.
Four has its kind of own homophobic, transphobic moments and
things like that. I definitely love to see works on.
But yeah, I think it'll be a pretty faithful remake.
It'll just look a lot prettier and it'll be fantastic.
This is very good game. It's sort of small town
mystery flavor to it just works really well. It's my
favorite story and setting for a Persona, a lot of
great characters. It was my favorite soundtrack again, three four five,
They're all very good. Before is definitely the one that
I enjoyed the most and think about the most.
Speaker 3: I was about to say what Alumerica says, un Chad
that Golden already have a lot of quality of life
improvement over the base game, so I can't think of
like anything, maybe like make it a little bit less grindy,
maybe at the end.
Speaker 2: No, all right, at the end of the day, let
me have my mods, so I must let him have
his grindiness. I will say, I bet so like Persona four,
Golden added stuff, but it was interweaved into the game
in such a way that I don't I bet it
will just be there this time. I don't think it's
gonna be like with a Persona three reload where you
had to pay for the one thing and then you
just didn't get the female protagonists. I bet all this
stuff Marie will just uh, we'll just be part of
the package.
Speaker 1: There a morning show every day, every weekday on Giant
Bomb called Mike's Rise and Grind.
Speaker 2: Just, oh my gosh, play a g RPG, you know. Oh,
there's a character in pisode of four called Rez but
it's spelled r I Seze and grind.
Speaker 1: I'm so surprised. All right, Xbox mentioned Spoon Heaven. Everyone's
uh looking for a reason of freak ap they use
this as an excuse to do so. They basically just
said it is still coming, like it's one of the
games that is still going to be on Xbox, along
with a bunch of other cool indie games. Like they
made like a point of emphasis at the end of
a sentence like this game's coming, this and this and
of course this moon happened, which I'm I actually am
a hollow night silk song.
Speaker 2: Of course it's it's bad. I don't Mike, I know
where are you at with this? I mean, I think
it's interesting to hear them say it. Part of me
is like, this person, do they know? Do they know
what they've done by just saying the word Silk Song?
Did you just see it listed on a spreadsheet somewhere?
It's like, this is one of the games I could
talk about. I guess I don't know.
Speaker 1: You know, I think the people running the Xbox wire
are all like mostly former press people people tapped in,
So I bet I bet they know. But I do
wonder it's like, do they have to get permission before
mentioning a game like that because they know it could
cause headaches for the developer? Like do they run it
by them? And so I mean, I don't know that part.
Maybe they do, maybe they don't.
Speaker 2: It does make me think like, okay, like maybe this
game is still being associated with Xbox and maybe it
is an Xbox thing still where we do hear about
it again. I kind of thought like, oh that was
you know, then maybe it's gonna up at a Nintendo
thing it still happen. I don't know. I guess the
I think Jeff is, Look, I do think we are
going to see Silk Song this year, and I do too.
It's just it's just so wild to imagine it, doesn't
you know if it always feels like it's never going
to happen because it takes so long to happen. But
eventually these things do happen. I mean, we're even talking
about halfway three. These days happen, right.
Speaker 1: And it's uh, it will be funny if we get
halfway three before this, to be fair, to be clear,
that would be incredible. But yeah, I think you're right.
You know, people want to line up with the switch
to launch. I think that would be a great idea
if they did that, But I don't know. At this point,
they're holding it back because they want to get it
right more than anything else. I don't think they're trying
to time the market necessarily. I think they although maybe
if they're at a point where we've waited so long,
we might as well continue to wait for.
Speaker 2: The perfect opportunity to strike.
Speaker 1: Although it is a big enough game at this point
that anytime they release it is going to be the
right time for that game. Trying to think I might
had something else there, I can't remember. Not a big deal,
all right. Xbox blog post accidentally leaks Steam tab in
the user interface for Xbox Stuff. Xbox accidentally revealed a
mock up UI in a blog post that included a
Steam tab in its game library, suggesting future Xbox consoles
might support Steam games. Maybe The original image was removed,
but sparked speculation about Xbox allowing to allowing Steam libraries
to align with Xbox's open philosophy of playing games anywhere. Basically,
I think the way this looked, Mike was when you're
in the Xbox like my games thing and it has
you know, my games game pass, and between those two
things was Steam Games. So to me, that says like,
you know, it's an Xbox Play Anywhere sort of app
where if you're on the cloud or if you are
if you're playing, you know, using the Xbox app on PC,
maybe your Xbox games that you own through Steam just
get filtered in through this thing.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of like the light version of
what this could be.
Speaker 1: Obviously, we have heard that Steam could get fully integrated
into the next Xbox, and that's probably a step.
Speaker 2: This is probably a step towards this. I just don't
know if that's what this is, right, because you know,
if the next Xbox is just a PC, then sure,
but uh, right now, you can't just put Steam in there,
you know, there'll be a lot of caveats to that.
You know, maybe this is just he could see friends playing,
and maybe it's a way to connect with certain cross
platform games. But even then, there's kind of so many
caveats about which games do support that and which ones don't. Gosh, yeah, yeah,
I definitely expect something small here to start. But yeah,
when we do get that Xbox or you know, the
handheld or just the next home console one that is
basically a PC with an Xbox overly on it, there's
there's no reason for Steam not to be part of that,
aside from the fact that you know, people will buy
their games through Steam then and they're going to get
a cut of the sales and not Microsoft. Well, what
if they had a deal there to make that make sense.
Speaker 1: What if it was, hey, can we get game Pass
on Steam with like a much better cut than seventy
thirty please, and we will let Steam into the Xbox
ecosystem so people could buy games directly through you if
they want, And it's like a kind of a maybe
they can form that into some sort of fair exchange.
Speaker 2: In their opinions, that seems plausible to me, perhaps perhaps,
and part of me is like now just wondering. Okay,
who does that deal benefit more? Right, Initially I'm like
probably Steambly. It's hard to say.
Speaker 1: Yep, you know, probably Steam in terms of the platform
side of things. But in terms of selling video games,
which Microsoft is like that is their primary business now.
It's just selling video games, not selling consoles, not even
selling game pass. It is selling video games. And they're
gonna put all the games on Steam. And if that
means like, hey, we can create hardware that people will
want to use Steam and all our games are on there,
I don't think Microsoft hates that idea all that much. Really,
all right, Uh, there is a thing. Here's this f
PC FBC Firebreak. Previous are out. This is the new
one from Remedy, right.
Speaker 3: That's correct. This is the first person shooter left for
them like in the set in the Control universe.
Speaker 2: So people seem pretty hot on it.
Speaker 3: The previous Yeah, the previous are pretty fluttering one. We'll say, yes, yes,
it looks I saw the videos. It looks fun. It's
just it's left for that the street player cop first
person shooter. It just looked for that in the in
that universe and with walking.
Speaker 2: And I'll play this with you.
Speaker 1: I never played, so yeah, so yeah, I'll be your friend.
I'm interested in this so we can check this out.
That that would be a good time. Uh, Mike, you
are not a Left for Dead guy? Is that Left
for Dead or this genre in general?
Speaker 2: It's weird because like, yeah, this genre I never enjoyed
as much as I feel like I should. I don't
know why, because like, you know, if dad would put
that in a CRUSI this one time, which is it's
clearly a good game, but I just wasn't get super
into it and all these other things. I don't know.
It might be me. I want to try it and
see how you never just gonna I don't hate, like
I don't hate those games. I don't hate Left for Dead,
but boy, like you know, like whenever we do, like
I'm not rushing more or something, and people like bring
it up as like an old timer, I'm always just
like I don't think about that game that much.
Speaker 3: That's yeah. I feel like, yeah, if you're left it
feels like a very PC game. So if you're if
you weren't a PC kiddy, oh I was, you don't
you are the problem? Something wrong with you?
Speaker 2: Team just classic and stuff.
Speaker 1: Like do you like games like I mean you like
playing Diablo cooperatively?
Speaker 2: Like playing Yeah, I like co op games. I don't
know what it was. I don't know what it is.
Sometimes Left for Dead again, Yeah we will, we will some.
Speaker 3: The only thing about this game is, like they said
some they said that you can't play this game in
like short bursts of times, like you can't play like
twenty minutes of this game. You don't how to like
it's not going to be a second job for you
to play this game. And I was like, oh, okay,
that sounds cool, I guess.
Speaker 2: But it's like, here's part of my thing. It's like, okay,
I got people together to play the game, and now
we're just gonna do it for twenty bits. And now
you might say, well there's matchmaking, you do it with strangers,
and boy do I not want to do that either.
It seems that they say tournaments and then then you
can also play for hours, you know, but what is.
Speaker 1: The h.
Speaker 2: Did you watch us play any thirty three immortals? Like yeah,
a little bit. It's kind of a second screen thing,
I think goes. I mean, did that have an appeal
to you?
Speaker 1: Like where it's like this four player Hate East where
you're in a wider MMO stuff. I mean, I know
the some of the it looked like a raid that
you could do.
Speaker 2: The Yeah, yeah, ray mechanics. Yeah exactly. That's interesting because
why don't I love I love it. I like mimos
a lot, right, I like doing dungeons. You know, raids
are more complicated. I guess you're not everything it's a raid.
Uh yeah, and wow, I don't know. Let's we really
should play Left for Dead some time. Let's see if
I like ye my mind or or if I'm able
to really figure out what is about that maybe doesn't
totally grip me. Yeah, I don't like. I mean, even
in that mimosis, I I do kind of hate that
feeling of like, well, somebody else died and now I'm
gonna lose. Yeah, sure, I know I get that for sure.
Speaker 1: Uh Okay, that does it for the big topics I
want to talk about. Let's come back in after a break.
We'll hit the super chats and then we're gonna do it.
Says here another draft where the chat trolls Mike, and
I'd rather you or not everybody. I'll just not do
that this time right after all right, we are back
before we have super chats. Here's a special announcement from
producer Christian.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I messed up earlier today I did a
messed up YouTube messed up. It wasn't my fault. So
what did we do? I don't even know what you did.
I was testing my Internet to see if I could stream,
and yes I can. But when I ended the test
instead of saving that stream, issues deleted all the super
chests that were in the in the in the stream,
so with the little all the super child. If you
sent a super chat during the stream, please let us
know because I can't find it anywhere in the battle.
Speaker 2: Let me check. Did you check check stream elements?
Speaker 3: I checked stream elements. It's not They're not there.
Speaker 2: At least for me. Stream elements.
Speaker 3: Damn all right, at least for me. Maybe it's there
for you, but I couldn't find it. If you sent
wander in the stream, please let us know, in Chad,
because we want to read that. It will be a
shamed if you.
Speaker 2: Look question, how is it my fault?
Speaker 3: No, that's a YouTube fault. How's it Jest's fault?
Speaker 2: How's it my fault? No?
Speaker 3: YouTube YouTube.
Speaker 2: I forget Now, what's her fault? Oops? Yeah, definitely YouTube's fault.
Speaker 3: Incredible to say I'm sorry, No, not your fault.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it says they paid a thousand dollars in a
chat to say Penis, thank you. Cool. All right, Well,
I'm gonna read the ones I have here. If there's
any more I need to read, you let me know.
Starting with this one from Christian that says Penis. And
then what from Simon from Saskatchewan says, am I old?
If I think I want a theurcane? Now, yeah, you
were showing off your Theracanesy, where's my therapane? I lost
the hurricane? Yeah, yeah, no, you're you are old if
you want a therapane. Yes, that's right. I heard that
life is like a theracane. Oh my god. Here and
Simon from Saskatchewan says, ever play Alien Resurrection game that
had an impact on FPS half decent two, but I
remember it was hard mvt's video of it hacking PS
one is fun too. This is the one that was
like the first game to actually do the modern dual
stick first person shooter controls. There's always that funny uh
screen crab screen grab of the magazine review, being like,
the controls are the scariest part because less you ever
seen this. You used the left stick to look up
and down and left the right and the right stick
to like strafe and move up, forward and back. It's
so funny. It's so funny. That's incredible. Also, I like
the idea of screen crab being the guy that gets screens.
Super games cibe it against this. I'm really considering taking
a personal day from work on Wednesday just to watch
a blight club. Please go and blind if you've not
played it, Ultimber Pickdan well done. Yeah, it's just get
caught again Verblood. I don't know this game at all.
Speaker 1: I mean, I only know it by its reputation from
super replay, and I gotta say people are building it
up a lot, not really even the game, just like
them wanting to see me play it. I'm like, I mean, listen,
you have your memories of Tim Turrey playing it. It's
not gonna be exactly the same. I'm a much more
abrasive person than Timpriatory, so you might not enjoy it
as much.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, you're gonna get way more frustrated.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get well I'm gonna be way more annoying
about it. So yeah, that's the word. Yes, So they
set your expectations appropriately.
Speaker 2: Everybody. Ricky pisas sub kids wanted to say a couple
of things. I hate being that guy. But Independence State,
excuse me, it's a must watch. It's actually a feel
good nineties movie at its heart. Oh yeah, that one's
definitely my bad because my stupid kid Bring would see
Independence State Trails Ristals, and I associated it with like, well,
that must be a horror movie. Yeah, like one of
sci fi movies with aliens, because the alien alien was
still like the sci fi movie with aliens at that point,
which is a horror film. Right, So I was like,
that's a scary movie that I'm never gonna watch. I
didn't really. My mind never was like no, it's like,
you know, less than Jurassic Park level in terms of scariness.
Then I just kind of know things just happened. I
just never saw it. I'll fix that someday. Right. At
a certain point, it's like, well I've gone this long,
yeah exactly. If it's like if it's on, that's the thing, Like,
you know, I live here by myself and I'm not
watching TV. So it's not like a thing like well,
it's just on. You know, people don't put movies on
in parties really sometimes it's not like somebody put onto
Apprentice Day. Now I'll watch it, like the odds of
me being like, well, got two hours of kill time
to put on a random movie? Ah? Yes, Independence Day
I always meant to watch that. One can happen. The best.
Speaker 1: The best way to do Independence Day is to like
on Independence Day weekend of like July fourth, whenever you're
celebrating it, spend all day swimming, then I have a barbecue,
then watch the fireworks and then get cozy inside with
air conditioning and watch Independence Day and maybe you fall asleep,
maybe you don't, but it's a really good time.
Speaker 2: Like that is like a really good fourth Lie week.
Indo me, I'm a big fucking nerd who likes to
watch the nineteen seventies musical seventeen seventy six on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah me too now because of you, but uh yeah, yeah,
I's see next one.
Speaker 2: Here's from Antonio Morales. Will Jeff Grubb finally be able
to pronounce Reze correctly? Now? Penis No, I don't give
a shit, Ricky be, says Mike. My childhood was Ary
Jetson's and Flintstones coded as well. You guys need to
see that clip appearance of John Goodman on Conan's first
episode of Late Night promoting the movie. He's just Jeff Man.
I know that John Goodman was the first guest I think.
I don't know if I ever realized it was to
promote that would be the time. Yeah, that's amazing. I'm
gonna watch that that. That would be a bit of
nostalgia for me. You should have come out dressed as
Fred Flintstone. Oh, of course he should always come out
dressed as for Press winds Stone. Even now, Oh grug
says between playing e T the costco guy stunning on
him and Glover existing dance having a week, would you
rather be coworker or saltine? He's right? I think I
think backwards, right. I think I'd rather be a co
worker than a saltine cracker.
Speaker 1: I really like saltines, so sure, I'm gonna go with salting.
Speaker 2: Mike, what if? What? What do you think? The sentence
et Rotori twenty six hundred is not even the worst?
ET means? What other et is really bad? When I
was on my infinite backlog like game charting thing, and
I played ET later that day, and so I added
it as a game. I beat some game Boy Color
ET game came up. Maybe it's that one. Okay, let's investigate.
Let's look into other ET gag. He's already got the mask. Yeah,
let's see what's going on with this. You know, I
I always thought it'd be funny to maybe make him
play that Universal theme Park game for the GameCube.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty that's a good one. Yeah, I think so too. Yes,
I think it's like ET might be on the cover
of that game.
Speaker 2: Maybe I can check.
Speaker 1: One second, at your listeners, he is standing up to
go get his game off the shelf.
Speaker 2: Right behind him. He moved not even four feet there
he is. That's got the laureate and t rex.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm like, is King Cotton Like, No,
I don't think so. I think there's ET on there. Well,
there's my memory being good for this one very specific, weird,
stupid thing. This is why this is why I don't
remember anything else, because I have that in my head.
Speaker 2: All right. Next up here, also from l Gregg. Also
just like how bike club has a time to sewer
level gimmick, voicemail dump truck needs a time to Mike
Man naughty being mentioned, the deal pens there's a little
accent on the end. There you do there? Uh yeah, Look,
I like when you talk about me, even when it's
you did you were I didn't. You had this whole
thing like Mike, they were wrong to actually gets weird
to shave your ball for a razor. So I'm going
to defend you. And then Dame's basically like, yeah, but
Mike's bald, and you're like, that's a good point. We
should bully him. What I'm not proud. I'm not proud
so bad at being my friend. I was weak and
it's it's not okay, You're right why he is so bad?
Speaker 1: I just gave in immediately because it was really funny
to me.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Oh, Ali Miracle says, see now, Mike, you
just need to up the stakes. Get some bikini zone
nare to your minats power movie asks me. I do
have like I have fantasies of just taking a nair
bath from the head down. I just I don't think
I don't think it works like that. It's probably not
good for the sensitive areas. It's not I love. I
don't think. I love the idea of just dipping myself
into something, into this pool like acid.
Speaker 1: And yes, be like you not moving at all, Like
there is a plate you're standing on and you just
lower and then it and then you rise, you ascend, Yes,
posing it's your new like purely hairless dolphin form.
Speaker 2: If it was that easy, I would just I would
do it. Oh God, I would love that so much.
Just be perfectly smooth. I bet you know.
Speaker 1: Let's call it, mister beasts. He can just make this
one of his next YouTube videos and uh.
Speaker 2: Harry mad I build that for Harry suffer for his
enjoyment and for his monetization.
Speaker 3: He's gonna in the in like in a box for
a whole year.
Speaker 1: Then he did just these like keeping people in a
room so I can make money essence for and he's.
Speaker 2: Like three different people.
Speaker 1: I have three different people trapped in rooms right now
so I can make money from them.
Speaker 2: And eventually one of them is gonna die in their room,
and then like now what now we're then we as
a society are gonna really have to make some tough choices.
And one of the choices won't be less, mister bast
so we're gonna figure something else out. Uh excellent, here
is from two versas it wasn't for Japan, ET might
have been the last video game ever made. Thank you
to play Club for paying the penance so we can
keep getting Maria. Yeah, it's like, it's funny because when
I grew up, like VIA teams were so just that's Japan,
right really because it was all nes and Nintendo, kapkoon konami.
We had some stuff. It is wild that the vida
game industry was started in America and it was dominated
by America for a good while before that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was I was like looking into some ET
stuff and then let me do a video where it
got inevitably to this guy who is from the UK
being very mad, well not very mad, but you know,
a little passionate about well there was no crash here,
and it's like, man, guys, you're like I tweeted about
this on Blue Sky or whatever, but it just wasn't
really the same thing over in Europe. It was like
a fraction of the size. I think I said that
was like the market's about five percent the size of
America's back then.
Speaker 2: That's generous.
Speaker 1: It was a fifteenth size of the video and console
market in the United States. Even when you throw in
the computer stuff, it just didn't even come close. So yeah,
all these people that were making video games trying to
sell them in America went away, and without Japan it.
Speaker 2: Would be a very, very, very different place.
Speaker 1: I get that the it didn't affect the gamers in
Europe the way it affected us, for sure, because they weren't.
Speaker 2: They did just keep playing their computers. But it was
a global thing, even if it mostly affected one major market. Yeah. Look,
not all of us cared about Amiga. Yeah no, like
barely anyone did. Like, we're happy for you. I I'm
very happy for you. Yep. Let's see here now. Next
one is screaming Madden. I'm early in Mike's report of
Epic Universe in nineties Disney. It's getting me super excited.
But I must ask Mike if he ate a Donkey
Kong Lizzy, did you so? Again? The park is two
months out from opening. A lot of the snack stands.
We're not opening it, so that included the Donkey Kong
Country one, and it included Yoshi's Snack Island. Now to
be clear, I would not touch a donky like a
banana donkey Kong hot dog situation that sounds I don't
even really want to eat a hot dog in a
theme park. A corner dog, that's different. I don't know something.
I like hot dogs are amazing for baseball, that's the vibe.
I don't know if I want a hot dog in
the theme park. It just doesn't sound right to me.
Speaker 1: I want a hot dog in most settings curely. But
I get I get what you're saying, though. I don't
think you're wrong. I know what you mean.
Speaker 2: I would try this for sure. It sounds good.
Speaker 1: I can't I'm like saving your guys' podcast this weekend.
I can't wait to hear all the details. I'm like,
it's done. Yeah, well I've been.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I had a great time of it, passing out
the souvenirs to nephew nieces, which is nice. Anone else
has any other questions about that new Universal park, about
the Nintendo stuffer otherwise, if anyone.
Speaker 1: Else does any like friends and family weekends at theme parks,
call it, Mike, Well, just bring them to all of those.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is great, I like love this. I'll just
I got along with this random family that I met
that day. Very well, I've crossed. I will fit right in.
Least surprising thing I've heard that was I'm very happy
you had a good time. Epic Open World says the
g one over Blood super replay was fifteen years ago,
and I remembered watching them as they aired. This has
caused existential crisis, will be a great play. You know what.
I always feel kind of ashamed of that I wasn't
watching all of this awesome Game in Former content. Me
too at that time, you know, being and you were
big one up fans, and we missed it and the
game form was doing really cool stuff. Then. I think
even then I had a little bit of this like
that's that thing from Game Stop and that's not just GM. Yeah, yep,
I was a bit of a snob about that stuff.
Speaker 1: And then I might have seen dan record been like,
well confirmed, I'm right to be a snob. Look at
this fucking idiot. But yeah, I really regret missing this stuff.
But I'll play some over Blood and we'll see how
it goes.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what if whatever's going on with their
teasing of Game Informer, I'll be fully on board. With it.
That's all Penance.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, and remind me to talk about the you know,
having to do with over blood.
Speaker 2: I got a little thing for the PS one that
I want to talk about. Remind me to do that
when we talk about what we've been playing. Okay, Next
up here is from Jesse Facin Could the February direct
to get announced next week? Yeah? Any second now, I
should definitely be happening. I tell you what.
Speaker 1: The person who gave me some info on that is
like they said, see in February and then nothing happened.
So and like there's reasons why they wouldn't get more details.
But it's weird to them that that that nothing happens
because there's something that's supposed to got announced. It's like,
is that just going to be put into the April
second direct? That doesn't make second sense? So that could
be stuff that actually gets plucked out and maybe announced on.
Speaker 2: Social media or something. You know what it is. I
have a very good idea of what it is. He
told me. I think I gave you.
Speaker 1: I think I gave you the hints that I was
given and he just doesn't want to tell me. He
wouldn't get more specific, but it's a very certain kind
of thing.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you. Okay, okay, I just can I cannot
say anything. I understand. I'm sorry. Yeah. WELLO Davis says,
working hard or hard while working, sorry, you better be sorry. JD.
Camp says, what's the appeal of grinding? Nick Johnson? Grinding
is just playing the video game? Man. I mean, you
get to play more of the video game. But it's
a zen like thing, right. You go out there and
that you know that that enemy has a five percent
chance of dropping the super sore that you want, and
I'm like, hell, yeah, I have the power to have
the perseverance to keep fighting this enemy until I get
the thing I want. And when that thing drops. I know,
for some people it's just like tedious when the thing drops.
Their sober at the not even happy. I get very
happy when that thing drops when I get the thing
that I want. Some games almost feel like I'm a
naughty little boy. It's like, oh, the game thinks I'm
going to move on, But what if I just keep
attacking these five enemies over over again? You get too powerful.
It's like a microcosm of the gaming experience, where you know,
gaming distills the life experience of start thing, be bad
at it, do what a bunch, be good at it.
Grinding kind of does that. You just do this, take
a bunch, you keep getting better, you keep getting stronger.
It's just this gratification. Uh. And you know, it's like
this other way you can play a game sometimes if
suddenly you need it to be a second screen experience
or what happens. Yea, I love that stuff to say.
Speaker 3: It's a really good thing to have, like like be
doing other stuff. It's like the subway surfers of video game.
You know, you have that thing like in the back
of your mind and just doing other stuff. It's pretty good.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: For me, when I'm enjoying it, is usually like, oh,
I could be doing this thing to like keep going
along the main path and maybe I'll.
Speaker 2: Get more powerful enough.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, what if I could just make my
own decision to go here and kill these your five
enemies that are weaker. It might take a long time,
but I'm like, I'm choosing my own experience now. And
then I get into a little bit of a flow
state that I don't do it as frequently or enjoy
quite as much as you do. But when I do
I like, I like a dragon infanit wealth. I did
a lot of it there and that was a good time.
Speaker 2: Jesse second says, is Mario Kart Oh if Mario Kart
nine is a launch game, any new three D Mario's Holiday,
what two other first party games coming out twenty twenty
five would make this year better than twenty seventeen. I
just don't, man, I don't know if a year could
be better in twenty seventeen. You would need to have
a new animal crossing, yep, and there's something Mother four. Yeah, yeah, right,
you would need something like that. There's something so specific
about having the all time great new Zelda game and
the all time great New Mario game in the same year.
That's just kind of touch in that. Yeah, that's pretty
rough to beat. But yeah, yeah, Like if you if
you give us like a crossing, something just wildly surprising,
like Mother for then maybe you can get there. Uh
like Marinas's Blind Draft. Are you getting the Retroit Pocket
Classic Slash Flip? You two? You?
Speaker 1: I am thinking about it, but I'm always thinking about it,
so that doesn't mean much. Yeah, I'll probably end up
getting one of those. The Flip is the one I
would go with right now, like I'm in the moood
for a clamshell still, even after getting that sp.
Speaker 2: By blind draft, they talk about our drafts, we're about
to do. What would what does blind draft even mean necessarily,
I'm not I'm not sure. I'm not sure. But we's
gonna do what we do. And uh, look, if you
know what, everyone to do what you want. I'm not
gonna have to just talk. I'm not gonna get very
upset this time. I can't anymore. It's not good for
my health. Actually, it's okay. If I lose our made
up game, it's fine. Dirty Aertie says, I'm in the
middle of a seventy hour work week game as Giant
bomb and then the ten Dogs are doing a lot
to keep me feeling insane. Gord, bless you, ps Penus,
thank you, Dirty Eddie. I hope that you're getting through
that work week just fine. Hopefully you get to relax
a little bit after that. Yeah, we're pulling you before you,
Dirty Alerty.
Speaker 1: I hope that you know you're able to listen to
us while you're working so that it like makes it
go by a little bit faster and you're not like
fitting us in between work or something like that, because sleep,
get some sleep, get some rest, and then hopefully you're
able to listen to us during work.
Speaker 2: Absurd Ziggy with the first super Chat says Blight Club
pick baby, go back and watch Super Replaces. Please do it.
The Light Club listeening to Dan gushabet Leek to the
Past was great, Penis, Yeah, I mean, you know, the
thing is like the Light Club was just us playing
games that we like, and there's now some of these
other avenues like Grubs, Gimmicks and Riker's Roulette where imagine,
you know, you saw Dan play some sy offs that
one day, right could have called it at Delight Clubs,
just playing a game that he likes. Yep, well, we'll
definitely find places for that.
Speaker 1: You know, the light Cubs could still happen if it's
a we're missing one of us and we're going to
do something in that slot and we want to give
the other person a game that they might enjoy, but
Linked to the Past might be one that doesn't make
sense for that necessarily, but that could show up, like
Mike said, somewhere else, it's.
Speaker 2: A very good game Links of the Past. Every time
I go back to play that once. It is always
a good time. Yeah. I kind of just an ideal
video game to me, and just a game I play
every like five years, sometimes less, and it's always very good.
Still absolutely. Uh, that's it for now. I don't know
if anybody said there was anything I needed to read
from before, Christian, did you see anything?
Speaker 3: No, I've been checking the chat and I haven't seen anything.
So maybe somebody who live some people that leaves the
super chat and they can watch it live. So if
you're one of those people, please let us know.
Speaker 2: Yep O good. All right then, Jeff, that's it.
Speaker 1: Okay, cool, let's take a break. We'll come back. We'll
get set up for our draft right after this. All right,
we're back, and it's time to do a game draft.
So if people haven't heard this before, if you're new
to the show, what we do is me and me
and Mike take turns drafting a game, drafting the team
of games, and we pick a topic like when we
started this, it would be like, oh, PlayStation games or
like games from the PS one generation PS one and
sixty four Saturn, and we would present each of our
teams to the podcast producers and they would vote on
which set, which list, which roster they preferred. Now, Mike,
you've taken issue recently with the chat vote. Do you
do you want to switch to a different scoring system.
Speaker 2: No, No, I think they'll be fine. Okay. If they
want to ruin this for everybody, they have the power,
they pay for it, they're allowed to. Okay, I'm not
going to get I'm just I'm not going to get
that worked up about it. It's my fault. I encourage
them by makes this like what look last time, I
just really thought I had it. That's the issue here,
this one. I feel like you have an advantage over
me in this one anyway. So I feel like I
have an underdog thing going here without the cheating. So
it'll be fine. All right, sounds good, but there is cheating.
He wants to make that clear. Yeah, Chat, no help,
no suggestions. Don't name the co op games. Because we're
reading chat, we're supposed to be kind of thinking of
these on our own, So don't don't tell us schemes
that you think like, oh, I can't believe that they're
not saying cadillacs dinosaurs. No, we don't worry about it.
Speaker 1: We got this, all right, Mike Minatti, I think that
since you did lose last time, even though one person
made the difference and they admitted maybe more than one
person admitted that they just voted for me to make
you mad, and we were separated by basically two votes,
so one person swapping would have caused you to at
least tie.
Speaker 2: Mike Manatti, you go first. All right, So this is
a co op games draft? Um yeah, I do think
despite everything I was saying about not really getting Left
for Dead, I should just pick that one. Shit, there's
not an issue because I'm not true fan. Which one
do people like more? Do they like one? Or two
more with Left for Dead?
Speaker 3: Ah?
Speaker 2: Gosh, I think god, I definitely played more of one,
but that's because I didn't like that, But so I
didn't play too when it came out. Uh shit, people
liked too. I think, which fuck? Which one do people
like more? This is difficult. I guess I just gotta
say one. Shit, I'm gonna say Left for Dead? Uh two?
Speaker 1: Okay, I guess we should have set this up beforehand.
But what could a co op game be like? This
is a game that has a major co op component
or do we mean.
Speaker 2: Only co op? I can have a major co op component. Okay,
in that case, I'm gonna go with Boulderskate three. Okay,
I think it's interesting. Yeah, I think that is a
within the spirit of this, and.
Speaker 1: I think it is a big one for the list
in terms of people see that and they get excited.
Speaker 2: That he's actually got me visited a lot in there. Yeah,
no idea. I'm gonna take a look myself real quick.
What is that? Oh?
Speaker 1: That was just me copying the stuff from the Xbox
blog post trying to figure out what was going on
with that.
Speaker 2: All right, Mike back to you. Yeah, yeah, I think
I think I'm just gonna take spliction a kaa split
fiction right now. Yeah, I think that's a good call,
you know. I mean, I'm very good. I think people
think people are ultimately enjoying it even a bit more
than it takes too. So we'll just that one. The
more people have played it takes you at this point,
probably with still and Bold, there we go. Okay, all right,
that was my big one.
Speaker 1: They're off the top, and I'm like, there's like so
many I could go with at this point, but I
think and this is one that I haven't played co
op actually, but it's what I think everyone mostly has
and enjoyed it that way.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with a portal two. Fuck.
Speaker 1: I mean, and again that's one where I think people
see that and you know the way it goes these
lists a lot of times is they don't think deeper
than portal two.
Speaker 2: Good game. I like that, and I think, so I'm
going for that with this pick. I was, yeah, I
was gonna that was I'm gonna take a portal too.
That's gonna be my very next pick. That's what I
thought you're gonna pick with number one when you're doing
your holders would have to be only a coup game,
and you kind of made that bad choice with borders
Gate three instead. Uh, we'll see. We'll see if that's
a bad choice. We'll see. I guess we'll see if
people don't like to see Balder's Gate three on the list,
that's something that's happened before. I guess. I just yeah,
it's true. And maybe my whole thing is like, I
don't know how many people really played that co up wrong.
Speaker 3: And I have a question. Somebody in chat ask if
MMOs are receptible.
Speaker 2: I don't think choice you can try it.
Speaker 3: I don't really doesn't feel in the spirit of the drafts,
do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can tell you I'm not gonna pick one. Yeah,
I'm not gonna to pick one. I'm not gonna do
an mmo. I will pick and it's like there's a
new one. I ship it, But I don't know. I
think I'm actually going to pick the Oblo three. That's
a good one. Yeah, I think the other three is
the one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that is the one, because it's like
it's got the really good couch co op on a
bunch of different platforms and yeah, no, it's it's definitely
considered a great co op game today.
Speaker 2: Bike you I'm tired of pacing my no suggestions in
chat thing every time you make a suggestion.
Speaker 1: Uh, okay, where do I go from here? God, I
think I'm gonna go back a little bit.
Speaker 2: See, I've been worried about making old picks because there's
sure are some for me. When I think I got
coke games, Boy, do I think of a lot of
games I played as a kid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm gonna go with one now because I
got I got to. I think another good one. But
I don't think you're gonna pick it, so I'm gonna
save that one for later. So I'm gonna go with
X Men Arcade, okay, which again I.
Speaker 2: Think people like, yeah, we'll just see that and be
happy with it if we're on that route, I'm gonna
take this one before you can Streets of Rage two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's definitely got to have that. Yep, that was
gonna be on my list if you didn't pick it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I got to have Streets of Rage two. Okay.
Speaker 1: I think when people think of co op and you know,
shout outs. I did hear some of the conversation on
the BombCast Revengeance last week, so I informed by that slightly.
Speaker 2: But I thought they made a good point on this
rock band.
Speaker 1: That's, you know, a little bit of a party game,
but it's definitely like you're playing cooperatively in a band,
and I think that that is uh something that people
think of when they think of co op games.
Speaker 2: Sure, this was a little bit of a which one
one again, I think I'm gonna say Gears of War
three okay, Yeah, yeah, I'm with you right where it's
like which one of those gears? Yeah, for me, it's
one but I think for most people it's three. Like me,
one's just the one that left the impact for me.
But yeah, those are great co op games. How many
is we doing? The twelve?
Speaker 4: Normal?
Speaker 2: Like? Just ten? Let's do ten? Okay, okay, I'm halfway through.
You got your fifth?
Speaker 5: Yep, I'm on my fifth right now. Uh okay, I can't. Well,
maybe I have two that you might not go with,
and I'll save for now. You know, I'm just gonna
do this one. To me, this is emblematic of the
genre Castle Crashers.
Speaker 2: You know. I don't know how.
Speaker 1: I don't know how much juice that has with people
these days, but it had a lot of juice at
one point.
Speaker 2: And I think there's a chance a lot of people.
Speaker 1: Younger than me actually have played this game and enjoy
because it was popular for a very long time.
Speaker 2: Now I like that. I like that. God, here's I'm struggling.
There's something I want to pick. I'll just say it.
Like I'm thinking about these two d Mario games. They're
not very actually co op either kind of play play
that at the same time as somebody, and in the
case of the new Super Mario games, only ever be
a hindrance to them. It's really good in Wonder, but
I don't know if Yeah, I don't know it's good.
It feels bad up again, I don't know how co opy.
It is a part of me like wants to pick Wonder,
but I don't think that super actually plays. Maybe I
know it's a little summer in my last one, but
I think I should just take it now because it's
the I don't think it's the best one in the series.
For this, I'll take Resident Evil five.
Speaker 1: Resident Evil five is actually a really good choice that
I wasn't even ever thinking about.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, let's see here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Okay, uh, yeah, this is a
co op game. Hell Divers two.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's pretty good. Actually, yeah, that's just a strip game. Yeah,
it's just straight up co op game. There's like a
no argument there.
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, recency, But I think that's
one that people like if they thought of name a
recent really good co op game, that's when that would
come up frequently.
Speaker 2: I think, God, do I want to do another beat
him up? Do I want to take that one? I
guess I could go slightly newer and not just do
the retro one and maybe that'll help me a little bit.
But god, I I just it's hard. It's hard to
know how much people care. Oh this is huh hmm, God,
how much do people care? Uh? I care? Again? Now
I thought of a different franchise I want to do Jeff,
And I'm thinking of do I do the old one
or do I do the new one where like the
old one where that's my warm and fuzzies and when
I really actually played co Op a ton of back
in the day, or the new one it's also cap
and it works pretty well. So it works really well still,
and I bet maybe a good amount people did play it. Uh,
I'm gonna say, maybe it's too early for this. I'm
gonna go I'm gonna go back to my first a
lot and save that one. I'm gonna go Teenage Mutant Ninja, Turtles,
Strader's Revenge. I think that is good. Yeah, you know,
I mean I think it's also good time.
Speaker 1: I know, but like just seeing Turtles again, I think
it's gonna pop a lot of people and they're like, yeah,
that's the co Op series.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, all right, how many do I have left?
You just break team and tea there by the way,
if you want to know, it's a lot of words. Yeah,
all right, let's do that.
Speaker 1: You need four left, four left? Okay, okay, good. I'm
gonna go with Deep Rock Galactic.
Speaker 2: What's that agad?
Speaker 1: That is a cooperative space mining game. It's uh that
is like that was like the co op game du
Jore just like two years like they're over the pandemic.
Speaker 2: Everyone played this game? Okay? Cool? I Oh again, big
name franchise. How much do people really think about this
one anymore? Do I want to go there? Do I
want to go there? It's like some other fun retro
ones that like, boy, I sure would do, but I
just don't know. I have to do one, two, three,
four or five. I have seven already, so only three more.
It's not a ton more.
Speaker 1: Jeff, I'm like afraid I'm gonna forget mine, so I'm
just gonna take I'm gonna write something down rote real quick,
just to let everyone know we're gonna hear keys.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna take Kirby in the Forgotten Land right now?
Oh wow, that's a man. If my kids were voting, Mike, yeah,
and like again, like uh, Skurby Superstars is the one
that I played call Okay, yeah, that's what Okay, totally
that was That was the one I was conflicted on
it a similar conflict with TM and T. But it's like,
now it's go with the newer one that just is
also very good in co ops. Still, mhmm.
Speaker 1: I think I'm just gonna I'm gonna take the most
recent one. I mean yeah, I think the obvious choice
here is going most recent recent one, Monster Hunter Wild Okay?
Speaker 2: Do you also always forget if it's wilds or wild singular?
Which one? Wild's okay?
Speaker 3: Yeah, no colon though, no cone, but.
Speaker 2: No colon, you know, not said people are like, don't
do the colon very much anymore. Yeah, it's yeah. I
think it's they're like, it's ugly. Designers don't like it.
I think they're ugly. Halo three, Yeah, okay. I was
wondering if you were gonna take Halo.
Speaker 1: I was gonna go with Halo with my last pick,
and that was the trip would be Halo three or
Halo two.
Speaker 2: So I'm kind of glad you just picked it, so
I don't have to think I just went for it. Yep,
all right. Two more is that where I'm at.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Monstern was the one I wrote down
so I wouldn't forget it, and that means I wasn't
thinking about anything else. Oh okay, that's right, that's the
that's the one I didn't think you would pick, and
you haven't yet, so I think I'm gonna go with
it now.
Speaker 2: Fasmophobia Okay, yeah, yeah, phobia. I think there we go. Okay, Mike,
back to you. This is my last one. Uh, Harrot's
on my pick Sonic. It never works out for me,
and I think a lot of people don't like the
kind of little brother modness of the Sonic Games. Unfortunately, Jeff,
I don't think other people out there care as much
about Mickey and Donald in World of Illusion for the
sake of jen Asis I do. That's like, that's a
big mistake on their parts. I'm just going to come out, Yeah,
you're right, Yeah, they're blowing it.
Speaker 1: I saw a TikTok today with John Waters, Who's like,
is it in a realief relief when you realize you're
just right, just being happy with your taste.
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, that's me and Mike on our podcast.
Is that's a lot Yeah, everyone, what do you want
me to do?
Speaker 1: It would just not be right, Like, I can't. I'm sorry,
you can't do it? Everyone else is bad in the house.
Is like, no, I think that's right.
Speaker 2: Actually, everybody, you haven't convinced me that I'm wrong or
anything like that. Gosh, do I want to be an
old head again? Uh? Probably not, not that I really
only have one old head game on here. Well, I
guess some people call Halo three and may being livered
it to an old head game at this point. There's
one from that Midge in there, but it's so similar
to a lot of these, Jeff. A lot of these
games that I think of, they are kind of they
co op beat them up er co op top down
action adventure games kind of things, you know. Uh, And
I have Double three covering a similar space as maybe
one of these that I am thinking about anyways partly
is like probably wants to know if there is something
very playstationy that I can do. There's one that's a
bit of a mean pick, but maybe that'll play well,
maybe people will appreciate the mean pic of it. Uh.
My rest of us is so good, it's like mere
I can go through a boy like a bad pick,
as often bit me in the butt badly before. Jeff
just has you know that. Look, I'm talking about cookies
and cream. Kids love frum Soft, and I'm like, do
I just pick cookies and cream? People love from Soft? Yeah,
but I don't think they need cookies and cream. Unfortunately,
me and you need to play that goof Troop game
still by. Oh yeah, I would love that. Yeah, the
kids don't know the joys of playing Chippindale Chipindale Rescue
Rangers back then. I'm gonna go with like I'm gonna
I'm gonna be could play for the game Cube era.
Actually here, I'm gonna say Gauntlet Dark Legacy. Oh that's
a good one. Shit, that's but yeah, but I mean
it's it's going to hit a different group of people
for sure, all right. I was.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do my like warm and Fuzzy one
because no one's ever fucking heard of it.
Speaker 2: It's Forgotten Worlds for Genesis, right. Yeah. It's an old
Sega shooter arcade shooter.
Speaker 1: That they brought home and me and my best friend
back then would play it over and over every time
went over to his house.
Speaker 2: We just play through the whole thing every time.
Speaker 1: I love that co op game, but instead I think
that I I I need a big one, uh actually
to have a chance here, and so I think this
one will be that.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Minecraft.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, a game that I think most people just
play cooperatively.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that's what that movie is about, just a
co op Minecraft with Jack. Just yeah, j That's right,
they're best friends. Now we're most gonna make somebody jokes
about this, as things gamers do, and I'm just a
hardcore gamer. It's gonna be I can't wait all that.
Those are the best kinds of jokes. Of course, they're great,
all right.
Speaker 1: Mike, Uh, do you want to read your list for
the audio listeners?
Speaker 2: Yes? My uh draft picks. My team of ten co
op get video games is Left for Dead two, Split Fiction,
Diablo three, Streets of h two, Gears of War three,
Resume five, Teenage, Betitt, Ninja, Turtles, Shredders, Revenge, Curbing, the
Forgotten Land, Halo three, and Gotten with Dark Legacy.
Speaker 1: I have boulders Gate three, Portal two x Men, Arcade,
Rock Band, Castle, Crashers, Hell Divers two, Deep Rock, Galactic,
Monster Hunter, Wilds, Fasmophobia and Minecraft.
Speaker 2: So and I'm seeing something. You know, obviously forget ones,
that's kind of part of the fun. Never didn't think
about Contra, Yeah, Contra is a good one. Ship. I
did think about c of Thieves kinda there there near
the end. But here's the right answer. Would have been
Gunstar Heroes Chef. But I just don't know if the
people know alright.
Speaker 1: No, yeah, I didn't even consider it because the people
don't know, and the god that game, it's the best
game out of all these.
Speaker 2: Oh, cup Head would have been a fair one, actually
would have been a good one. Borderlands actually would have
been pretty decent in the second half. Yes, I let
go Star Wars. Not that you didn't think about countering
Split Fiction with U two.
Speaker 1: I did think about it, Yeah, I probably should have,
but I just kind of ran out of space. Yeah,
I mean, I do still feel good about Boulder Skate three.
So I think people will see it and go for it, right,
But I don't know, maybybe it will hurt me. Maybe
people would be like, really think about the co op stuff.
I think that's one that one's who knows that maybe
they flip one way or the other.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty happy with my list, but I look at
yours and like there's a lot of games on there.
I think that Gauntlet pick was really good.
Speaker 2: Actually you say that every time though, and then you
win anyway, So like, sure, look, I think my list
is better, but so I expect to lose.
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, right, let's uh, let's see here, Christian,
can you set up the poll?
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you for the podcast producers. Uh. In the meantime,
I will I'll put this on blue sky. Are you
gonna move them filling all that white space or not?
I'm going to just like you know, I was writing
their names for it. I was like, oh, you could
like write Tom said turtles because of that A lot
of time you did that part and they just kept
it there and it's just driving me insane. Now it's
not centered anymore. That's the problem. He did it too far.
You could put give it a little juice. There you go,
there you go. Now it's back in the place. All right. Well,
I'm just I'm just glad that I'm here to please you. Mike.
Let's be clear.
Speaker 1: I'll put this on the blue sky, and I guess
is there like a Pole thing that I could just
put in the replies there from a different website.
Speaker 2: That's weird, Like, Gus, can we get Poles and Blue
Sky yet?
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna put on Twitter. Sorry, everybody, which team
of co op games?
Speaker 2: You know? We could take a break right now while
you do this. Good idea. All right, let's take a
quick break.
Speaker 1: We'll come back, we'll eventually get the results, we'll clean
up some super chats, we'll talk about what we've been
playing all after this.
Speaker 2: All right, we're back. I should I forgot Army of Two?
Oh okay, well just throughout the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Then well, why even do the poll if we're gonna
fit forget the most important one?
Speaker 2: Or Army of two the sequel the fortieth Day? God?
Is that what it's called? The did I have to
look that up? A lot of guesses. I don't think
I would have got there. I'm like, well, it's not
called the Army of two to two? No, the worst one?
What the hell was the arm What the hell is
Army of two? The Devil's Cartel? How many of these
games did they make? There were three Army of Two games?
That's insane. Jan Ricottello was so Army of two pilled
it was crazy. Oh the third Army of two has
an average score fifty four. Fuck co op that's go.
That is it's pushing it. But that is Blake Club enough.
Speaker 1: I understanding that eventually we might get into a situation
where there's some rea like I could imagine Alex giving.
Speaker 2: Us a co Op one at some point. Yeah the
fuck all right, the votes are being tabulated back in
the you know, the HQ.
Speaker 1: We'll get all those results here in a second. We
won't keep you waiting too long. But in the meantime, Mike,
what have you been playing?
Speaker 2: Gosh, yeah I did. I did play et after we
watch Dan play it on Blake Club. I just found
a browser emulator. Oh yeah, I think that's how I
played it too. Yes, yeah, it's funny because even like
knowing what to do because I watched it play, it
still an infuriating experience. I think it's still somehow took
me longer than Dan to finish. It was game either way. Yeah,
it just phils so freaking terrible to play. Those holes
are insane because it's not just like oh, like your
feet or like the bottom half of your body touches
the hole. If the one of the pixels of ET's
head touches one of those stupid holes, you fall into it.
And some of the holes are like at you know,
half of a hole at the edge of a screen,
So if you scroll scroll is generous. If you go
into that screen from a certain way, you just immediately
go into a hole. The way that the people catch
you and you can't do certain things while they're on
screen is infuriating, so you just can't do what you
need to do. Sometimes it's basically a big scavenger hunt
while people are flinging bullshit at you the entire time.
You keep falling into holes and then you fucking die
and a kid brings you back to life, only for
the misery to last longer. Uh Yeah, even after watching
damn play it and knowing all it was all about,
it felt much worse to play than I was expecting. Yeah,
it's uh.
Speaker 1: It took me a long time to like to figure
out the trick of the holes, which is, don't try
to continue climbing up and down. The way you get
out of the hole initially is hold up, and then
once you're out, you got to go left or right,
and it's so stupid because you might be on the
very far side of the hole, but it's like, no,
just holding that direction and he'll kind of just hover
over it. You're so afraid of touching the hole any
other time. It's like and this just makes no sense.
And then of course as soon as you get off,
one pixel touches one pixel of the hole, one pixel
of et touches one pixel the hole, you'll go right
back down there. It is a completely nuts game. It
does have its defenders now, which I uh, well, that
blows my mind. That's gotta kept thinking like where did
these defenders come from? And what are they talking about?
Because I believe them.
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, this game probably got a lot
of junk and trash because of well you know, they
dug a bunch of the man you can't escape. Goat,
there's nothing redeemable here. This game's terrible. What are they
talking about? Yep? I was, uh, I'm I'm like you, actually,
you're just wrong.
Speaker 1: I mean I get what you're saying, Like, oh, A
lot of the times what happens is they'll be like,
it's not that bad for.
Speaker 2: A game that was made in five weeks by one person. Okay, Okay,
what does that do with me? Yeah? Yeah, how is that?
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he should be punished. Yeah, we're not
grading his work. We're saying the game isn't fun to play.
Two completely different things. So yeah, it's it's a baffling,
baffling game.
Speaker 2: You know. You know a lot of Atari games do
have their problems, but that's just this one has all
of the problems and it's just not fun in any way. Really.
You know what, like, Man, even with the fiveway thing,
you have five weeks, just make a fucking pac Man
clone with pieces And you're like, that's what Spielberg wanted.
Why are we getting ambitious with this ship?
Speaker 1: Like no, no, no, you know that that is one
of the quotes is like Spielberg wanted a pac Man
clone with Reese's pieces, and yes, and then Howard Scott
Warshaw's like, well, no, et is like this breakout thing
that does like it's innovative, So the game needs to
be innovative. It's like, Howard, you had five weeks, please stop,
don't do this to yourself. No, Howard, Yeah, but I listen,
I'm glad that I'm happy the man went for it.
But the game is trash. It really is very very You.
Speaker 2: Said, you want me to remind you about some kind
of PS one thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I got of the eight it dos got
those wireless connector things where you can use any controller,
and I got one. It came right away and I
plugged it in, and so I'm using a dual sense
to play PS one games and.
Speaker 2: It works freak. It's I know, it's weird. I did.
I also have some controllers on the way some shoot
PS one could but to say, let's neat at all.
But to me, where the joys of using a shoe
console is using the shoote controller.
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, and I do want that that is the plan.
But I was like, you know, it'd be nice to
have this thing just in case. And it works really well.
So I was kind of surprised how easy it was.
You know, it really just got to hit the button
on there, put the controller and pairing mode, it connects,
and then all the buttons just work the way you
expect them to. Kind of stuffing I never really wanted
to do before this, but now that I have it,
I'm like, I'm glad I have this as an option.
I don't like I tried to buy, you know, refurbished
like new controllers, but you never know what kind of
grime they're gonna have on them. They're not my controllers,
so we'll see how that goes. So I'll have options
at the very least. And I was again just surprised
how well this worked. It was basically plug and play.
I still need a memory card though, that's coming as well,
and then I will be ready for Overblood to do
its thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what kind of game do you think? Like? I
obviously it's got to be like a horror game. Seems
like there are a bunch of those, like Can't be
Bad takes a Resident Evil, and a lot of them
are sort of beloved, kind of can't be classics, not
like a Blue Stinger, Right, so I'm kind of expecting
something like Blue Stinger, but Boostinger sounds right course, right, yep?
All right, and then let's see the other thing.
Speaker 1: I got another Anbernik who This one's the RG thirty
four xx. This one looks like the Game Boy Advance,
not the SP just the regular Game Boy Advance. It
is basically the exact same thing as the SP one
inside it just has a different form factor. I just
it was on sale a little bit, and I was
in a weak state. I was like, you know, vulnerable,
and I needed something to fill the void inside of me.
Speaker 2: So I got this. Can you just send that to
me so I can play Mother three? I see you
had it on there? Sure, yeah, I do. I want
to play that. Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: It's like, this is a good way to play Mother three.
Here's the thing, it's kind of this thing might be
only really good for game Boy Advance games. The button layout,
the face button layout. I mean, I don't know, you
can kind of glance at it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The buttons are like the four face buttons. It's
a tight fit.
Speaker 1: It's a tight fit, and they're like stacked on top
of one another, kind of similar to the Duke Xbox controller,
which is I think is wrong. I like, I fundamentally
think this is the incorrect way to line up face buttons.
The face buttons should be lined up like a cross,
so you if you have four of them so that
you could say, play Tony Hawk's pro Skater. If you
can't play Tony Hawk's pro Skater with the four face
button on your controller, I think that you have messed
up and you would not really be able to play
that game very well with this.
Speaker 2: And really you're talking about the PS one version the
game Boy Advance versions right exactly, like yes, because the
triangle that the grind button isn't at the top, it's
this sort of top right button exactly.
Speaker 1: It feels weird and wrong, and it's like it's not
even like okay, well, I guess I'll just kind of
angle my finger over there. It's like, no, the other
buttons get in the way now, Like it's just bad.
So I'm like trying other games and it just doesn't
feel good to play any game that actually uses allOur
or all four face buttons. I was trying to PlayStation
games and it's like, okay, well, I'm already doing the
translation in my head. Fine, whatever the bottom button should
be ex button, It's like it's actually not the bottom button.
Speaker 2: It's like off to the side.
Speaker 1: So everything just feels a little bit off. So I'm like, okay,
I'll stick with game Boy Advance and that does work.
That works fine, that's right.
Speaker 2: When I will say when I look at it, the
thing I want to do is play game Boy Advance games.
Speaker 1: Exactly, and I have ways to play everything else. So
for me, personally, not like some huge complaint. I think
most people getting this will be people who just want
to eat their Game Boy advanced slop, and yes this
is going to do that, and it has good filters
on it to make it look like the LCD screen.
Speaker 2: You could turn those off if you want, but it
looks really nice on here.
Speaker 1: They have nailed that effect really well at this point,
and like Mother three looks fantastic on here, and it
came with that translated and everything. So if you're looking
for a good way to play that game, this actually
would work.
Speaker 2: I keep still thinking about Earthbound and how much I
liked it right enjoy. Yeah, Like I'm kind of just
like about an hour in and I like, yeah, this
is Look, I'm just saying, this is your chance for
the big power move and beat Mother three before me.
You could really lure that over me.
Speaker 1: I'll go for it, yeah, because I think as soon
as I do that, though, you're going to probably play
it right away.
Speaker 2: But yeah, sure they say you beat it first, Okay, Yeah,
I'll go for it. That's a great drunk guy at
the bar who thinks it's like some kind of like accomplishment,
like I had sex with that person before you did
so to fuck your mother. Three yeah, exactly. Three.
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's wrap up the super chats and
then unless you have anything else to talk about.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I played Mega Man three again. I
played it on the actual since I had it out
all the time. Yeah, yeah, you know, I've beating that
game a lot, but I never actually beat it on
an nes so just playing out on the wild yeah, well,
I had it as a kid and I was very
young though. Those games were hard. Uh, but I love
the Magma games because you could just even with being
bad and not being able to beat a level, I
could still play eight levels right away, right, That's why
they were all kind of my favorite. And I think
that time I was finally good enough to beat a
Megan Man game, like, I went back to the series.
It may have been emulation. It might have been that
anniversary collection on like PS two in GameCube. I'm not sure,
but uh yeah, eventually, you know, I play those games constantly. Yeah,
that's the first time just playing on the Na Boy. Sure,
I still good. Just holding that controller and actually playing
the game on there just works really well. I still
love that game. Two Pieces definitely my favorite. Mega Man
definitely my favorite video game. So yeah, it was a
good time. Yep, that's that's pretty cool. I like there
there probably are a handful of games like that. That's
like I just ended up doing all that on emulator
and going back and playing that on shoot. Yeah, there's
a few. Like it's like, you know, as much as
I love Super Metroid and never been Super Metroid on
a Super Nintendo. Yeah, I definitely beat that one on
emulation first, probably like around the two thousand and two
I think was the first time I played that. Uh
really yeah, God, I don't know if I've missed played
on real hardware.
Speaker 1: Huh interesting. Okay, well that's cool to think about. All right,
let's do these super chats Mike and then we'll get
the results.
Speaker 2: Awesome, got a few more here, let's see here? Now
what is the last one? Oh? This isn't ask as
I thought. I pushed the fan funding a button. There's
a one of a penis. I think we might have
a couple more before that. Aeric the Postman Dan says,
lost of my customers have been asking about the our
block as they carry you guys with me every day.
It's working man. Yeah, spread the word, thank you. Josh
Page wrote a penis with the symbols and letters and
numbers and it said, ah, my.
Speaker 1: Steed, that's a I think that's a reference to an
old uh justin McRoy bit where he drew the penis
in that duck a mucky game on the DS when
the when they're like dappy ducks like draw me a
horse pis and dappide duck gets on the penis.
Speaker 2: It says, ah, my Steed, that's a good game. It's
a good bit too. You didn't know about that Looney
Tunes movie when I brought it up. I think I
had never seen a single commercial for it or anything
like that. I think it's one of those things where
like Water Brothers, What's Again? Made a Looney Tunes movie
and it didn't want to release it, so somebody needs
catch up bought the rights to it and something. So yeah, yeah,
but we'll see. But says y'all, am I tripping? Or
did you start the stream with two hours ago? Anyway?
Deaf triangle Christian was doing some kind of a test. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
there was. There's some stuff happening in there, but we're good.
Tyrant says with Luca Bros now gone best combo for
New Death Triangle once they finally get rid of the
Deaf Riders. I say, Pac Beast, Morto's ruche pinas Piace. Uh. Look,
Rush is a great competitor. Something about the vibes with
Rush always off for me. I don't know. Yeah, it
seems like it seems like a lot. I don't know,
it seems like a lot. So he's a great fit
for Death. Trying tuber says, I'm not voting because no
Lego Star Wars, you both lose. I get it. Those
are good, COVID, those are very good. I want to
play a game with this young child.
Speaker 1: Co op games too, right, Yeah, for sure, It's definitely
something I considered, but it was like, it's just no room.
Speaker 2: For it for me. It's interesting, how you know, they
made Lego Star Wars and then they made basically twenty
games just like it. But still that's that's the one
everybody still thinks of, really as Lego Star Wars or
even if any other ones the sequels to that, no
one's like, actually you Lego Jurassic World boy, let me
tell you, yep, you're right. Anything else. Mike Eggar Marina
says the Analog Pocket Classic has an option for Saturn buttons.
Oh that's cool. Oh, the idea of a portable Saturn
just really triggered me. Trigger that'd be fantastic. Oh say
a Saturn. No there, now there was a video game console. Jeff,
it's an interesting one too, for sure. All right, Jeff,
what's the damage on the poll? All right, what's up? Oh?
One just came in, absurd ziggy, thank you for the content.
You guys and John Stewart are the only things keeping
me positive. I like being a group art.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well the results are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I said, like god, it like forget, I
forgot kind of who are against this a little bit?
Speaker 2: You have all of the like Xbox uh ones. Yeah
that probably helps.
Speaker 1: It's gonna help quite gears uh uh, Halo and even
like Resident Evil five. It's gonna hit so hard with
that audience. It's gonna be it's gonna be tough to
catch up.
Speaker 2: Yeah. They didn't even get the play boarders Gate three
for a while or yeah exactly, they're like they're resentful
towards it. Yeah, all right, Christian, go ahead, all right.
Speaker 3: Very positive words from chef Grub. That's right. So the
results out in and so forty five point one percent
versus fifty four point nine percent for the winner. And
the winner is Papapa. I don't have the sound board here,
My bad. Well the winner is Chef Grub. Yeah he won. Sorry, sorry,
Mike with thirty nine boats against thirty two boats.
Speaker 2: You don't have to do it, Mike. You don't have
to do it. But you don't have to do it. Man,
you don't have to. You could just let go. You're right,
it's just a made up game that we made up
for your stand. I just I'm curious to ask you.
You literally gave a concession speech before it happened, like I.
Speaker 1: Think, looking like, I figured there would be still a
lot of like, hey, there's a lot of people came
to the show because of Xbox like rumors for a
long time there, So I figured there's a lot of
those people here. And I I do genuinely like my
list better than yours, actually, but I thought that those
Xbox games, those like ones associate with Xbox will like
because I'm like, I don't think like Kirby Gets gets
you all that much, even though I love it and
I think Streets Rahs two I love it too. There
are a lot of people in our old man game,
so I'm like, but Diablo three also, okay.
Speaker 2: I like x Men arcade. You're right, but x Men,
like you know, x Men is like a brand name
that people are still and see x Men or look,
you're not wrong Diablo three though, you have that too,
and split fiction Twitter.
Speaker 1: I don't know Twitter. It was going back and forth,
but now it's clearly in your face. But again, I
have a huge Xbox one of them. So what so
you think we should do in the future. Do you
think we should continue to let the patrons decide this?
Speaker 2: Maybe we could do like a weighted one where it's
like fifty to fifty and uh yeah, Christian, what do
you say?
Speaker 3: I said, we're pre recorded, we pre according pre recording,
were pre drafted. We post the draft. Well no it's not,
I'll do it. I'll you should.
Speaker 2: That's the content.
Speaker 3: Is the drafting you talk, You do the drafting live
like you were recently about the drafting. You do it
live after.
Speaker 1: Is there a way to do it where we silently
submit ours and then Christian and Sean are our voices
and no one knows soon.
Speaker 2: This is getting in safe whatever you look, if this
was what gets you through life, making me your your
fucking monkey on this go ahead.
Speaker 3: You weren't going to get angry.
Speaker 2: I'm not screaming, and trust me, do I want to.
You seem way more angry because you're not screaming this.
Speaker 3: It's funny. If you don't scream, I can never.
Speaker 2: I just can't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you can be filibuster rules. I got to
get sixty percent to win.
Speaker 2: Fair. Want to be fair.
Speaker 3: A lot of people, a lot of people in the
responses to the to the to the post, they were like, oh,
well I really like Portal an X Man Monster Hunter.
It has monster.
Speaker 2: I guess if Jeff gets thirty percent of the people,
that means there's gonna be multiple people who can leave
comments and say like, it's fine whatever, congratulations Jeff. There's
a few more super chats. We don't read them for you,
all right, I'm.
Speaker 3: Not gonna say anything.
Speaker 2: It's just continue red red red back was there for
super Chats? Is I would like to suggest the title
for a giant bomb show showcasing hard work gadgets and
the like toys for bomb. That's fun, that's good. I
like that. Okay, Well, we'll consider it. Uh, has anybody
admitted to just voting for me to make me angry again? Like?
Speaker 3: No, no, this, this, this one feels like everybody voted
for what they like. It doesn't feel like you, Well.
Speaker 1: Last time someone did a minute, You've done this every
time you've lost, and have never believed that you've lost
fair and square.
Speaker 2: Now this one, You're right.
Speaker 1: I don't know someone someone chat says they played more yours,
but they want to play more of mine, whatever whatever
that means. But like everyone decides how to vote on
their own, like we can't predict that. Hey, human beings
are messy, is what I think. Like, and that's well,
I'm gonna chalk this all up to that.
Speaker 2: I just I've always dread very well and I never
would and I just don't believe it. I don't believe
it before and you set me up. You did a
concession speech before. I always do that. Let's be clear.
You're right, I always do. Then that's for dead. I
got the fucking Hey, listen, I'm doing it. I said
I would do. People got to get their their money's worth.
Come on, like a couple more supertests. Alex says, I'm
only giving money. If Mike pops off on this horrible
fans in their bad.
Speaker 3: For you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mikey Oilary says I would have voted for you,
Mike by voted. Then Jill Stein appeared they had third
party really screwed you. There's big Fresh thirty seven saying,
trying Super chat again. I think FBC Firebreak is the
first game to drop on Game Pass and PlayStation plus
Xbox and PlayStation must see something special in it to
allow that.
Speaker 1: Also, I think they like everyone's probably happy, like let's
give Remedy some money. Let's make sure they have money
because they had that deal with Epic that I don't think.
Actually Super went their way with Alan Wake two, and
it's like, hey, they're let's let them make deals to
kind of keep them around. They're making a lot of
good games that we want to make sure continue to
have a chance.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I almost to say when we were talking all that game,
that game is coming out on Steam, which is huge.
Speaker 2: Yes, all their games are gonna come out on Steam.
Now they're done with that book, all that stuff's done.
Anything else, Mike uh, I was just thinking about how
I could have made my list better and done even worse.
If I put stuff like Gunstar Heroes on there, you know, yeah,
but you would have been happy. It's a bad game.
I am always like, can we do a draft? What
I'm going there? Like, is he gonna be okay with this?
Is he gonna be willing to because I did everything ron.
Speaker 1: All right, I think I'm gonna hit the button now.
I think we've wrapped up everything. Mike Manatti there, he
is the actual voiceline. That's what he really says. It's
a pity of himself of course.
Speaker 2: Yeah, gets more children to use this props for fucking dismantling. Sorry, hey,
how's it going? Mike Manatti here? Follow me on Blue
Sky and uh twitch at uh as Tolkoto. Gonna put
this new computer gether soon. Test that out this weekend.

don't know how to turn it off.
Speaker 3: You don't mess up, aeron, choose be a man and
do the right thing and start using firefolks. God damn,
I use Firefox.
Speaker 1: I use Firefox just for video Ninja now because it's
the only thing that makes that work. But that is
the start of me transferring over to Firefox slowly over
the next few weeks.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, it's a whole process, you know, just.
Speaker 1: Like you know, there's like, oh BS has a lot
of browser scenes that are just the gamer browser or Edge,
and it's like I still remember to change all of those,
So it'll be a process to like go through, like,
oh now I.
Speaker 2: Need this here, Okay, let's see I am not finding.
Speaker 3: It could be bad for you.
Speaker 2: What was it even called?
Speaker 1: It's like a filter for the whole browser, and I
don't know where I put it? Whatever, okay, whatever, I am?
I hate this is Why would I do this to myself?
Speaker 2: Everything kind of grays up in this year?
Speaker 3: Huh it's rough, man, Okay, not set? Didn't I touched? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I turned it on. Now I don't not turn it down.
I'm just gonna call my nephew. He's he's good with

can go. You She'll go for pretty kiddy gosh, alright,
there's that. Yeah, I am just from my nogain. I'm
not cheating. Why do you think that is cheating? You
want like you do you know, you know drafts right,
I know, you know what. I just it's so funny.
I just played this conversation up between us as I
was going to the bathroom. I literally just had this
conversation and then I said, yeah, I know that's how
real drafts work, but I just think it's more fun
that we have to kind of work from them. We're
just looking at a list and assessing which one we
think are the most popular. Yeah, like a draft, but
fair enough, fair enough, No, that's fine. Point.
Speaker 3: You got the list, you should, oh, you should put
it on.
Speaker 2: I just, I just, I give we look at have
conversations with you each other anymore like we do. I mean,
it's or we need each other too much, like one
or the other.
Speaker 3: It's like the data bank to your to your brain,
so you run. I'm running my own ship grub locally
on my brain.
Speaker 2: Okay, give me a second. Here, I had this set
up somewhere.
Speaker 3: You are funny, funny.
Speaker 2: That was a good moment. All right, I think I'm
set up and ready to go.
Speaker 3: Let's go, Preston Bay.
Speaker 2: It's funny thinking I would think, like in my head,
they're cookines, but not really like I think one of
the donkey con countries. I think maybe return Tropical Freeze.
You can't play as co op, but nobody I don't
know directionally think of those games.
Speaker 1: When you mentioned Mario, I'm like, oh, ray Man Legends,
but I'm like, that's not big enough.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe in the as a tenth pick that might
have worked. These games. Are those works better? Probably would
have done it in eleven or twelve. Yeah, so any
of those works is better two D platformers and than
these Super Mayer Brothers games. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I kind of wish I had Halo too. Now actually,
oh well, I went with what I went with. All right,
that is there now, yep. It's can't change anything with
these choices, all right. I think what we can do
then is.
Speaker 2: Come back to the show. All right. I'm ready
