You know, we we uh hung out 377 00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:36.400 a little bit with a kind of funny gang last week. 378 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:39.759 I feel like I might just barge in there in 379 00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:42.720 just like play, just set up a tabletop mat of 380 00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:46.079 a deck, Matt and just just play with snow bike, 381 00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:46.880 mic and blessing. 382 00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:50.119 Yeah, just attack them with magic yeah yeah. 383 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:54.519 To their spot. Oh yeah, I could just roll downhill. 384 00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:59.480 Okay, glad he did that packspanel just like god some 385 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:02.200 summer ste Oh my god, I don't think I've recovered. 386 00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:04.359 I think that's what what did it for me? Yeah, 387 00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:08.119 probably that I haven't gotten the chance to play too 388 00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:13.160 many other things, but I did play a bunch of 389 00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:16.039 blue prints, And as I understand it, and I've heard 390 00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:18.279 from y'all, I think you guys like it. 391 00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:23.079 Yeah, let let's talk about this real quick. The backlash 392 00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:24.279 is surprising to you guys at all. 393 00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:27.759 I'm kind of confused by it. What's the deal? What 394 00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:28.599 are people mad about? 395 00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:30.680 I mean, you know it's got it's like mixed on 396 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.559 Steam or whatever, or like, are mostly good, It's in 397 00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:38.119 that range. My thing is when people are talking about 398 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:41.720 their complaints, I get it, but at a certain point, 399 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:44.240 we're just talking about a completely different game, like your 400 00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:48.160 experience four or five hours in, it's so removed from 401 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:51.000 what I have done in that game that like, I 402 00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:53.400 appreciate that if you were saying it's not for you 403 00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:55.960 after that amount of time, but like, we just can't 404 00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:59.319 have a real constructive conversation about the games because I like, 405 00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:01.640 it's a completely it's turned into a different game like 406 00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:03.799 two or three times for me at this point, but. 407 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:06.160 It's so weird to me, Like, like I get that, 408 00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:08.119 and yeah, it gets more complicated, it gets better, but 409 00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:12.359 I also thought the game was very good almost immediately. Also, 410 00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:15.240 I mean this is always bound to happen to some 411 00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:18.599 suctent because it's still more of a niche genre, right, 412 00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:21.000 So a lot of people are gonna play almost any 413 00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:22.960 game that gets like A ninety or above and then 414 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:24.359 find out, well, I don't like this. 415 00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:26.119 Genre or things like that. 416 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:29.079 That's definitely happening, right, And you know, it's like it's 417 00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:30.599 always a little weird, and I don't want. I know, 418 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:32.960 the most obnoxious thing ever is to tell somebody you 419 00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:34.039 just don't get it. 420 00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:36.680 So I won't. I'll try not to. 421 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:39.039 But there are like some of them plates I hear 422 00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:41.359 are surprised me, Like a lot of people complain about 423 00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:45.559 the RNG, and I'm like, that's not really, that's not 424 00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:48.440 really what the game's about. I know it is, but 425 00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.119 I don't know. I never felt bad about the RNG 426 00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:52.519 and the. 427 00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:54.519 And then for me, like I always I mean, like 428 00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:57.359 going back to your thing like where it's like grinding 429 00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:00.079 in an RPG, where it's like that's playing the game like. 430 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.160 Here, like I No No Run was for not you 431 00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:04.359 know as I played through that game. 432 00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:05.400 Is it basically people. 433 00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:06.839 That are like doing the Sewan thing? Of playing that 434 00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:07.519 a little bit and being. 435 00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:10.319 Like, oh, like the like there's the sean camp of 436 00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:12.640 people are like, oh, puzzle games are not my genre, 437 00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:14.559 and those I'm like, oh, this game is not for you. 438 00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:17.319 That's it's just that step up and then yes, yes, 439 00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:20.079 And then there's the other side of I love puzzle games, 440 00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:22.640 the Witness, all these other things missed. I love the stuff, 441 00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:28.799 but the RNG, I hate it. And you know that's 442 00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:31.079 not been my experience. It's kind of where I'm at 443 00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:33.240 with that. I'm like, the RNG has made me more 444 00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:39.359 engaged because each run I have a base foundational gameplay 445 00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:44.079 mechanic to get better at, to understand more, to deploy 446 00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:46.279 knowledge in. And I can have a run that I 447 00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:48.880 can try to shape, you know, in this direction, and 448 00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:51.079 then if things start going sideways, I try to roll 449 00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:52.839 with the punches and I love that in the game 450 00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:56.640 or it's it ends and then I go again, and 451 00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:57.960 now I've got even more aformation. 452 00:21:58.359 --> 00:22:02.960 There's no punishment for having run die right, So yeah, 453 00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:05.119 but I guess, you know, some people just have roadblocks 454 00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:06.680 and some people have roebucks about a lot of things. 455 00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:10.000 You know, every game, right, it's like this, there's still 456 00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:11.799 people when you bring up Breath for the Wild will 457 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:14.559 complain about weapon degradation or something like that, right, and 458 00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:16.279 certain point to be like, well, that's still one of 459 00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:18.400 the best games of all time, even though some people 460 00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:21.319 don't like it. And the internet this way, right, whenever 461 00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:23.640 people don't like something, you're they're the ones that you 462 00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:24.119 you hear from. 463 00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:25.680 I'm not saying that their opinions aren't. 464 00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:28.160 Valid or anything like that, but yeah, I'm it's a 465 00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:30.400 little surprising. Maybe part of it is because you know, 466 00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:32.200 way I got rizzed up a lot by us, and 467 00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:34.440 to be clear, because we absolutely love it and we 468 00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:37.160 think it's one of the best games in the kind 469 00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:40.160 of really, I'm kind of like, I'm gonna have to 470 00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:42.279 force myself to stop because there's other things I really 471 00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:44.519 should be playing, and I rode credits a while ago, 472 00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:47.799 but I still just love pulling on all these different strings. 473 00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:51.240 There's all these different puzzles, like entire new mechanics. I 474 00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:54.960 am still somehow discovered just discovered. 475 00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:00.960 Well, yeah I haven't. I haven't seen in the room. 476 00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:03.440 You know. That's what I love about this game versus 477 00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:08.400 other games, is that I have heard y'all ad nauseum 478 00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:11.000 at this point talk about this game, and there's still 479 00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:13.839 a gigantic chunks where like I have no fucking clue. 480 00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:16.599 I mean, I'm like, I've been playing for I don't know. 481 00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:18.160 I can look at my Steam counter, but it's a 482 00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:19.440 lot that's gonna be way off. I left it on 483 00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:20.960 all night last night because I had to solve a 484 00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:23.640 puzzle in roommate and I didn't want to stop. But 485 00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:26.240 I've been playing for very long, and there's still so 486 00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:28.559 much like at this point, it's not like I was like, oh, 487 00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:30.799 I got credits and I understand twenty percent. At this point, 488 00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:32.960 it's like I understand most of it, but there are 489 00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:35.799 massive chunks that I still have not even engaged with 490 00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:38.880 or fully have even comprehended. I'm like getting to piece 491 00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:41.400 together the lore, and like I got to another place 492 00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:44.240 in like a room, you know, not even in the house, 493 00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:46.839 that just kind of unlocked so much more information about 494 00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:49.440 who some of these characters are. And I'm like, oh 495 00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:51.119 my god, I guess I should have let that one 496 00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:52.880 thing that said don't get too political. I should have 497 00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:54.720 read into that more. There's more going on here. 498 00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:58.359 It's yeah, I gosh, I basically just read a short 499 00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:01.559 story the other day and it was like very good. 500 00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:04.200 It was like a well written short story and I 501 00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:06.400 was really interested in it. And I know it ties 502 00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:09.200 into the game world somehow. I know it's probably about 503 00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:11.480 a location that I haven't been to yet. I think 504 00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:13.680 some of that is correcting itself, Jeff, Like, you know, 505 00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:16.240 it's Steam. It's a very positive now right right, there 506 00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:18.759 was growing. I think there's something a little bit there 507 00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:21.160 because there were a flot of people who are like, 508 00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:23.519 I guess we're all gonna check this out, and yeah, 509 00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:25.000 I don't know, I'm gonna be for everyone. 510 00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:28.680 For me, I enjoy the run based nature. Maybe that's 511 00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:31.240 just because I enjoyed roguelikes at this point because of 512 00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:36.480 I've gained this genre. Yeah yeah, yeah, But like it 513 00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:40.279 has me hooked in a way with Blueprints in such 514 00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:43.160 a way that I, uh, in a different way where 515 00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:45.960 I bounced off of Lorali and the Laser Eyes and 516 00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:48.920 that like I really enjoy the setting of Lorali. I 517 00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:51.480 really enjoyed all of the puzzles there. Uh, And like 518 00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:53.839 you know, there is learning that is happening that you 519 00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:56.640 were bringing with you throughout the house. But with Blueprints 520 00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:01.559 in that house, it's just like a different set of skills, 521 00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:05.680 and when I hit a roadblock, I can just go 522 00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:08.240 do something else entirely and still feel like I am 523 00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:10.559 making tangible rights. Yep. 524 00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:13.640 I think I've been telling myself last couple of days 525 00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:15.240 that I'm probably done with it, but then I do 526 00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.279 find myself keep going back because like I feel like 527 00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:21.359 I've done like all, like I saw credits a long 528 00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:24.160 time ago, and I can at least see what these 529 00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:27.240 other puzzles are going to be, and it is definitely 530 00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:29.359 it's like, okay, well I could go all the way 531 00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:30.720 in here, and I have taken a lot of notes 532 00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:34.160 and stuff, but I think it would give it maybe 533 00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:37.119 dozens more hours for me to fully understand all this stuff. 534 00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:39.359 Maybe that's a stretch, but like you know what I mean, 535 00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:41.720 some of the post game stuff, you know, sigils and 536 00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:44.880 things like that and lower stuff. So I am kind 537 00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:47.880 of flirting with the like, Okay, I do I throw 538 00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:50.680 in the towel here and be comfortable with it. I 539 00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:52.920 think I might be, because again I got fifty sixty 540 00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:54.200 hours out of this game, and that's one of my 541 00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:54.759 favorite games. 542 00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:56.240 Or you could kind of like do the thing where 543 00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:57.960 it's like, well, maybe at this point now start looking 544 00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:00.079 some stuff up, right, some stuff. 545 00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:01.599 Like I did that with the gallery puzzle because I 546 00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:03.720 looked at all four of those things. That was a lot, 547 00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:06.920 you know, that was what the fuck is this? And 548 00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:09.000 so talking about? 549 00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:11.519 So that's yeah, so yeah, maybe I'll do that. 550 00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:12.839 Maybe it's just like yeah. 551 00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:13.200 Because I do want to. 552 00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:15.839 I think in our discord, I think maybe we can 553 00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:19.640 just have an agreement, maybe talk like more openly. 554 00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:22.920 Yeah, because there was a part of the billiard puzzle 555 00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:24.680 that I just couldn't figure out. I even like got 556 00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:26.519 to a room that I think was trying to help 557 00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:28.039 me figure out more, and I still was like, I 558 00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:28.559 don't know. 559 00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:33.880 I was just like, ja, I have felt actually pretty 560 00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:36.079 smart with the billiard and stuff with the dark board thing, 561 00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:38.440 because everyone's complaining about it, and they're complaining about the 562 00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:40.559 point where it's like, oh, no, there's a square, and 563 00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:44.160 it was like, oh, I'm weird things past that and 564 00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:45.039 I'm flying through it. 565 00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:47.720 Still worry about how you think you're scared of the square. 566 00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:48.920 You don't even. 567 00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:50.920 Wait till the squigglies and the dots and. 568 00:26:50.839 --> 00:26:51.839 The square got me. 569 00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:54.440 Now, now, a couple of complaints that I've seen that 570 00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:56.599 I do agree with it is wild that you can't 571 00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:58.799 suspend a run get its way through. 572 00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:01.880 That's that's a bit of a pain. And the wrench item. 573 00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:03.200 I don't know if you guys had troubles with this, 574 00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:05.039 but I got this wrench and I didn't really understand 575 00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:07.279 what it did, and I think I accidentally made it 576 00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:10.359 so a useful room is now very rare and I 577 00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:12.200 will almost never see it again. It might be a 578 00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:14.000 nestle room. I don't even remember which one for me, 579 00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:16.359 but I mean other people are having that problem and 580 00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:19.799 you can't reset it easily. So I just think the 581 00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:23.119 wrench wasn't explained, or maybe I'm dumb because I didn't 582 00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:23.960 understand what it did. 583 00:27:24.200 --> 00:27:26.039 Yeah, I didn't understand the wrench the first time I 584 00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:28.359 got it either. I think it's because you the way 585 00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:30.759 you interface with using the wrench is different than the 586 00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:33.160 way you use a lot of other items, so it 587 00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:36.079 like it activates when you enter a mechanical room. 588 00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:40.200 Basically, be careful when you get the wrench, everybody, Because 589 00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:42.200 I didn't get the wrench until like over fifty hours 590 00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:43.680 I saw wrench. 591 00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:46.400 Yeah, I got it like one time, very late in 592 00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:49.160 but I think I immediately used it poorly because I 593 00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:50.160 didn't understand what it was. 594 00:27:50.200 --> 00:27:52.440 Have you been to the conservatory in the corners of 595 00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:53.160 the house. 596 00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:57.000 Like conservatory, it's a green room. It helps a ton. 597 00:27:57.279 --> 00:27:59.119 Oh yeah, I have been in there, I think. Yeah, 598 00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:00.839 so hopefully it show back up in there and you 599 00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:02.960 can reset things a little bit right right right right? 600 00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:03.240 Yeah? 601 00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:05.920 So yeah, yeah, yeah, go ahead. 602 00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:07.720 No, I just can't wait to get to game of 603 00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:11.400 the year's season and learn that all of us are 604 00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:14.920 still playing this game or checking in like or so 605 00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:17.920 a week or whatever. Yeah. 606 00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:19.640 But boy, I was like, I am thinking about that 607 00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:22.000 because if we if we do the debate there again, 608 00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:24.880 it's like, man, well, like we really like it. 609 00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:27.960 Sean is a charac Tamp didn't like it, so it's 610 00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:28.960 just like it is. 611 00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:31.799 I guess I am a little surprised that as divisive 612 00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:34.079 as it is, well, the people who like it seem 613 00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:36.960 to really really like it, and other people kind of 614 00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:37.799 don't get. 615 00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:39.799 It or it really is just different games. Like I mean, 616 00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:42.000 I don't get it, said I didn't mean. I didn't 617 00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:43.359 mean it like that. I said. I wasn't gonna say 618 00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:45.519 they don't get it, they don't like it. You know, 619 00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:47.240 when you like you watch a movie and then you 620 00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:48.880 go on line to read the criticism and it's like, 621 00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:51.279 these people just watch something different than I did. The 622 00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:53.880 thing they saw is just win in their brain in 623 00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:56.480 a different way than it went in my brain. That 624 00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:58.960 that's what's what happened. What's happening here for me? Still, 625 00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:00.960 I'm like looking at a lot of the Steam reviews 626 00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:03.680 and it's like, Okay, well this person's got five hours. 627 00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:05.680 That is just a whole. 628 00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:07.519 Other experience than everything I've done. 629 00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:10.079 Yeah, so there's a like so Jamie h went to 630 00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:11.599 do four and check it said, the one good plain 631 00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:13.960 I see is that the RG can break your flow state, 632 00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:15.880 like you know what you have to do, but the 633 00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:19.319 rooms you need just aren't showing up. I think so 634 00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:22.680 like that that goes back to what I'm saying is, Look, 635 00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:25.400 you have a goal and you're working towards it, but 636 00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:28.920 it's not necessarily the end all be all at all times, 637 00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:31.640 you shouldn't feel bad that you don't immediately hit that 638 00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:35.160 specific goal that you're working on, because I promise you 639 00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:38.480 there are one hundred of things happening around you and 640 00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:41.559 maybe you don't even think you're absorbing useful information, but 641 00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:42.799 just by playing the game. 642 00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:45.480 You are, Ye, that's right. 643 00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:48.720 We'll realize until you find something hours later and you're like, oh, 644 00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:49.680 I've seen that. 645 00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:52.400 And the best way to spark that continues to be 646 00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:54.039 if you see a room you haven't been in before, 647 00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:58.359 go into it, ye kind of no matter what you're like, yeah, 648 00:29:58.400 --> 00:30:00.160 you might, maybe you'll get credits really fast if you 649 00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:03.599 get like some god run really early on. That matters 650 00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:06.319 less than kind of understanding these first early ways to 651 00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:08.240 open up the rest of the game, and that's done 652 00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:11.000 by going into rooms you haven't been in before. I 653 00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:13.880 do plan to continue playing for the next little while. 654 00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:18.920 I have four red letters of eight trying to get 655 00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:21.920 the rest of those. I am I don't know if 656 00:30:21.960 --> 00:30:25.079 I'm gonna like, there's more stuff happening beyond the credits, 657 00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:28.160 like you know, the sigil stuff. Dan, I'm I've gotten 658 00:30:28.319 --> 00:30:31.160 two of those, but there's a lot more than that, 659 00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:33.279 and so I'm like, well, that's a lot of work 660 00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:34.640 to kind of figure out what's going on there, but 661 00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:36.640 I'm gonna keep pressing up against that, and that's sort 662 00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:39.319 of my big goal right now. And then as I 663 00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:41.279 do that, there's all kinds of smaller Stuff'm like, oh, yeah, 664 00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:43.559 I forgot about this thing that I ignored twenty five 665 00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:45.440 hours ago because I couldn't figure it out. Let's take 666 00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:47.839 a crack at that again. And that's like happened like 667 00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:50.720 one of the first early puzzles that we all, like 668 00:30:50.759 --> 00:30:53.359 the beyond the getting to the Room forty six, that 669 00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:55.359 we all kind of stubbled on, and I think everyone's 670 00:30:55.359 --> 00:30:56.680 going to kind of do it this way because the 671 00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:58.400 game kind of eventually just tells you to do this 672 00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:02.079 one meta puzzle. I had that sitting in my notes 673 00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:05.000 for forever, and then finally I just saw something in 674 00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:07.880 another room that was like, oh, are they being cheeky 675 00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:10.039 with like the way that they're writing this out. I'm 676 00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:11.920 gonna go back to that room and look around and 677 00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:13.960 that's like, oh okay, I found the things that I 678 00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:16.680 was supposed to be doing, like using his information to 679 00:31:16.759 --> 00:31:19.119 open a safe, and say, oh my god, that felt 680 00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:22.599 really good. That just finally had that click into place 681 00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:23.559 after so long. 682 00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:26.720 That is when I did look up recently, and that's 683 00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:29.799 the one with the larger puzzle with that we made 684 00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:31.920 a graph for and yeah, okay, oh. 685 00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:33.759 Right, I still don't think I figured that one out. 686 00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:36.480 Yeah, but you know, like part of it too, is 687 00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:38.880 I just like the vibes of this game. I love 688 00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:41.799 the way this bench looks. I just happy to do 689 00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:44.079 a run and kind of chill and vibe and go 690 00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:45.960 through the rooms. It's not a lot of times I'm 691 00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:48.319 not even necessarily think like, this is the puzzle I'm 692 00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:51.000 working on. I just kind of go through and see 693 00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:52.920 what I in lock, see what I find. Maybe I 694 00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:54.440 get a lot of money in this run and I 695 00:31:54.440 --> 00:31:57.680 can unlock something that way, or maybe I'll finally get 696 00:31:57.720 --> 00:31:59.880 to an item that I haven't had in a while. 697 00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:01.400 I could try some new things with that that I 698 00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:03.160 have some ideas on. Yeah, I don't know. 699 00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:04.920 It's kind of I just kind of go in there 700 00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:07.759 and vibe sometimes because I think the game is gorgeous 701 00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:11.720 and moody and atmospheric as all get ye. 702 00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:13.839 I just like having a plan and like try and 703 00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:16.119 execute on that plan and then it doesn't go right. 704 00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:18.279 And like I said, rolling with the punches is a 705 00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:20.839 major part of any Rogue Light and really any game, 706 00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:23.480 but any Rogue Late especially. It's like, Okay, the game 707 00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:24.920 is giving me this, what can I do with this? 708 00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:26.960 And say, oh, yeah, that reminds me. There's this one 709 00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:29.920 room I've been trying to get or this combination of 710 00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:33.759 rooms and oh yeah, I passed up the observatory and 711 00:32:33.799 --> 00:32:35.880 I didn't activate that one thing because I'll make red 712 00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:38.119 rooms happen more frequently. But now I actually do need 713 00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:40.279 a red room, and that will help me with this 714 00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:41.599 other room. So let me go back and do that. 715 00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:43.279 See if I can open up a few more, maybe 716 00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:46.640 I'll get lucky. They'll be close together. Like it's there's 717 00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:49.759 so many avenues for coming up with ideas while you're 718 00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:53.000 doing a run, after you get past the first initial 719 00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:54.079 setup of what the game is. 720 00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:55.960 Yeah, it's fun because like at the top of my document, 721 00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:58.039 I have like you know, probably over a dozen like 722 00:32:58.200 --> 00:33:00.960 you know, threads that I'm trying to follow. And then 723 00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:03.359 so I'll start a run and I'll go to the 724 00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:05.440 outside and I'll see what three rooms are on the 725 00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:08.359 outside thing, and it's like, okay, well, if there's a 726 00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:10.799 it's a tomb day or it's a classroom day, then 727 00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:12.920 that'll focus me towards like, Okay, I know I've got 728 00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:13.559 a couple of things. 729 00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:15.519 Specifically for those days.

Anyways, Uh, I think that's part 755 00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:12.079 of it too. 756 00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:13.920 Maybe a lot of people are trying this game who 757 00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:16.280 maybe even did know better that this might not be 758 00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:19.119 for them, right. But yeah, but I've been there when 759 00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:20.960 like something super super popular and I played and I 760 00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:21.480 don't get it. 761 00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:22.360 It's a bad feeling. 762 00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:26.000 Sometimes it's well, it seems like this was probably good 763 00:34:26.039 --> 00:34:26.960 and I just don't get it. 764 00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:28.320 Yeah, yeah, it happens. 765 00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:32.559 Uh speak grub, you were talking about rolling with the punches. 766 00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:35.639 Let's keep the ball rolling here, Mike Manatti, Oh you've 767 00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:41.360 been playing dommas. 768 00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:42.360 Say, yeah, you know, it's neat. 769 00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:46.639 I played a lot of video games, and it's rare 770 00:34:46.679 --> 00:34:49.519 for me to have blind spots anymore, let alone really 771 00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:54.559 big ones. And somehow I just never really played Katamari 772 00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:56.599 Domas was. 773 00:34:56.840 --> 00:34:59.119 I was so excited for this game. I don't even know. 774 00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:00.880 It must have been must have been hyping up in 775 00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:02.280 e GM or something. 776 00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:04.719 Were And it was twenty dollars, which like that was 777 00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:07.400 back when like every game was fifty DOLLARSS Like I like. 778 00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:09.880 Bought a PS two for it, like that's what I had. 779 00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:12.159 I am getting it. I need to play this weird game. 780 00:35:12.199 --> 00:35:12.840 It looks awesome. 781 00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:15.760 I know that for game Fly, just so I could 782 00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:16.199 get this. 783 00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:18.360 Oh my god, yeah, you know, and I knew all 784 00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:20.480 that discourse, Like I was very much like on all 785 00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:22.360 the websites and the magazines at that point. And I 786 00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:25.039 don't know why I just dare really get to it 787 00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:26.159 or didn't care that much. 788 00:35:26.199 --> 00:35:28.639 I don't know if I was in some weird space. 789 00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:30.960 Where like I was like, oh, this stuff is too quirky, 790 00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:33.119 which is I don't know, a stupid thing to think. 791 00:35:33.119 --> 00:35:37.840 But yeah, I just never got into Kadamari. So finally 792 00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:39.760 I picked up re Roll, which is the sort of 793 00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:42.000 remaster of the first one. I just played through that 794 00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:44.840 on my stream. It's like, boy, I get it immediately. 795 00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:47.039 Oh yes, how would you not? Like right, I don't 796 00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:49.280 think I would trust someone who played Katamara mask. He's like, 797 00:35:49.519 --> 00:35:50.159 I don't get. 798 00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:52.199 It right, Like even like I knew it was going 799 00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:54.599 to be quirky and silly, but it was still quirkier 800 00:35:54.639 --> 00:35:58.199 and sillier than I was expecting in all the best ways. 801 00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:02.800 The ridiculous opening seems the funny dialogue from the King 802 00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:04.440 of All Cause, but then I know that guy is 803 00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:08.800 a goofby no, he's a popular character, and I'm like, yeah, guy. 804 00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:10.719 This guy right here, I like this big guy with 805 00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:13.880 the chin. He's great. He's a weirdo. 806 00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:17.840 But yeah, just rolling around feels good, just that gameplay loop, 807 00:36:18.119 --> 00:36:21.719 starting small, getting bigger to the point where you know, 808 00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:23.280 it's like it's one of the best feelings in the 809 00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:25.159 game ever when you get to that last level and 810 00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:29.320 you're just basically rolling up everything. You start rolling up 811 00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:35.000 the islands that you're on this side the tornadoes, like 812 00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:37.440 just like in like that one part you started in 813 00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:40.239 that seemed big. Is now this tiny speck in your 814 00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:45.480 Katamari And the music, oh, the music music, yeah. 815 00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:47.239 Plays on a loop in my head all the time. 816 00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:50.119 Oh yeah, so actually, oh go ahead daan Oh yeah, girl. 817 00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:51.800 I was gonna say, like I remember back in the day, 818 00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:53.679 like I don't know if you were also intrigued by 819 00:36:53.719 --> 00:36:56.760 like whenever there was like Incredible Crisis or mister Mosquito 820 00:36:56.960 --> 00:36:59.480 just you know, very kind of wacky, very Japanese humor, 821 00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:01.639 like that was extremely up my alley. 822 00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:02.039 Yeah. 823 00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:04.039 So that's why I like, from the very first moment 824 00:37:04.039 --> 00:37:06.400 I like read a preview of Katamari and be like, oh, 825 00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:08.480 the King of all Cosmos, like basically gets drunk and 826 00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:10.320 breaks all the stars and you've got to roll stuff around. 827 00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:12.880 Like it's just like, this sounds amazing. Every screenshot looks 828 00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:14.800 so weird and funny, and it delivered. 829 00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:17.079 And then some it was like also like the first 830 00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:19.679 one that was like not but like an early one 831 00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:22.400 that was readily available, Like there were a lot of 832 00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:24.639 the games like that that like had this promise of 833 00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:27.639 weird Japanese stuff, which was always just like, man, this 834 00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:30.000 just looks so much fun to me. That's why I'm 835 00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:32.480 interested in it. But it's gonna be hard to track 836 00:37:32.519 --> 00:37:34.000 some of these games down, and I'm like I don't 837 00:37:34.280 --> 00:37:35.559 I don't have the heart to like try to go 838 00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:37.760 figure that out or whatever. And this one, like, no, 839 00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:39.280 they're just going to release this game. I'm like, well, 840 00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:41.519 I'm gonna go to my game store. I'm going to 841 00:37:41.599 --> 00:37:43.559 pre order it or whatever I have to do and 842 00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:45.559 make it all happen. And it was just so nice 843 00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:47.760 to like have it served up and and have it 844 00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:51.360 treated like it wasn't some weird of Japanese who's Japanese 845 00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:53.719 per thing. It's like, no, this is a cool game, 846 00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:55.239 and we're just gonna release it cause it's good. 847 00:37:55.639 --> 00:37:58.000 Yeah, I liked it so much that I did just 848 00:37:58.039 --> 00:38:01.039 start playing the sequel we left Katamari, which also was 849 00:38:01.079 --> 00:38:01.679 a remaster. 850 00:38:01.920 --> 00:38:04.440 Is that in the same package or it's. 851 00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:07.119 A separate purchase. They're both thirty dollars normally you know 852 00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:11.000 you can find places, but uh, yeah, and I know 853 00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:13.079 a lot of people like this one more. And immediately 854 00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:15.960 it felt smoother, like the controls were a bit tighter. 855 00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:20.559 It's still very silly. The aesthetics are fantastic, still great music, 856 00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:22.039 the objectives are a. 857 00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:24.679 Little bit more gimmicky. A lot of the time. I 858 00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:25.800 kind of wish her more levels. 859 00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:28.360 Dammar Jarra is there, Damn is there, and like I 860 00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:29.960 heard that he's kind of problem at it and now, 861 00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:33.000 but yeah, like you know, it's a bit more like, hey, 862 00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:34.719 you gotta roll a bunch of fireflies to help this 863 00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:37.840 person read and study at night. I'm like, okay, it's nice. 864 00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:39.920 Can I have more levels where it's just make a 865 00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:42.320 big Katamari in six minutes or something like that. It's 866 00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:45.159 a there's also some draw this and stuff in this one, 867 00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:47.400 which is weird for a remaster, specifically the things you 868 00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:50.559 need to roll up, but otherwise it's also just still 869 00:38:51.079 --> 00:38:52.760 very very very good. I'm not sure if I'm going 870 00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:54.360 to ultimately like it more than the first one, which 871 00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:56.239 I guess is maybe a mild hot take. 872 00:38:56.280 --> 00:38:58.800 I think most people like we love Katamari more. We'll 873 00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:01.360 see how I feel. Want I love the first one, 874 00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:04.159 but it's a great series, it turns out, y'all. 875 00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:07.159 Ever, check out Wattam Wattam. 876 00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:10.480 I'm gonna play at it like a Pax or something. 877 00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:11.920 Yeah that's the same guy. 878 00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:16.599 Yeah, same dude. Yeah, I'm looking at screenshots of it 879 00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:20.639 now and I kind of I desire this level of weirdness, 880 00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:23.199 level of whimsy. I need it in my life. 881 00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:25.559 Is this Is this the Nobe Nobe boy guy as well? 882 00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:26.880 Yeah? 883 00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:29.280 Wait, is he gonna if you got the game coming out? 884 00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:32.199 The two of t things? Okay, I'm curious about that. 885 00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:32.599 Yeah. 886 00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:37.119 Yeah, I was just seeing him share some like timeline 887 00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:39.559 stuff or whatever. I don't know specifically if it was 888 00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:42.159 for the game or just for some assets. I'm just like, 889 00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:47.400 I need this directly inside of me right now. I 890 00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:51.440 need to t pose with the boys. Uh. And I'm 891 00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:54.920 and I don't really have the appetite to play Katamari 892 00:39:55.079 --> 00:39:57.880 right now, but maybe some Wattam if I have no 893 00:39:57.920 --> 00:39:58.840 idea what that game is. 894 00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:01.679 It is, there's something that was a little disappointing about it, 895 00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:03.800 because I remember the look and like the vibe of 896 00:40:03.840 --> 00:40:05.039 it was awesome, right. 897 00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:06.239 It was immaculate on that side. 898 00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:08.480 Yeah, yeah, I think the game itself, I forget the 899 00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:09.960 gameplay was just a let down. 900 00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:15.800 Did did girl ever reach Pluto in Nobi Nobi Boy? 901 00:40:16.480 --> 00:40:18.320 Like, did you play in Nobi Nobi Boy? No? 902 00:40:18.440 --> 00:40:19.920 I guess I have to check that one out too. 903 00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:23.159 That's another one. Just I must have had something against 904 00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:26.360 quirky Japanese kings for a while then. I don't know why. Yeah, 905 00:40:26.400 --> 00:40:31.679 you're super racist. Wow, I was like playing the wai 906 00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:35.559 Fu games. I think I was playing out Yeah, I 907 00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:37.159 don't know. I was definitely playing a lot of PC 908 00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:40.440 games at that time. I don't know sure, Okay, Okay, 909 00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:43.320 So this here, Mars was reached on March or May 910 00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:47.880 twenty third, two thousand and nine, then Jupiter on November twentieth, 911 00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:52.239 and then let's see, Pluto was reached on November twenty third, 912 00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:56.320 twenty fifteen, so ten years ago. Wow, Okay, Apparently she's 913 00:40:56.320 --> 00:40:59.440 supposed to loop back towards the Sun now, So I 914 00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:00.880 don't know if she's going to reach the sun ever, 915 00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:05.159 check back, no idea what you're talking about? Stretches, Like 916 00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:07.519 you play this boy and you make girls stretch, and 917 00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:10.079 she's and everyone worked together, I guess to make girls stretch. 918 00:41:10.239 --> 00:41:12.000 It's kind of like a cat dog situation. 919 00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:18.239 Yeah, I'm starting no Blue Buzzard, No three eyes Frogs 920 00:41:18.239 --> 00:41:21.360 with the feline canine, little cat talk, cat dog, cat dog. 921 00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:23.400 Well, I'm on the road and. 922 00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:25.599 All through town all kind of chrismin and cat dog down. God, 923 00:41:26.159 --> 00:41:27.559 got to try to get along, gotta what together. I 924 00:41:27.599 --> 00:41:28.440 got to sing this song. 925 00:41:29.679 --> 00:41:31.400 He's got a good blue grass voice though. 926 00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:36.440 That's the thing speaking about two beings attashed at the hip. 927 00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:41.239 Dan Riker, you beat Split Fiction, Yes. 928 00:41:41.280 --> 00:41:41.639 I did. 929 00:41:41.719 --> 00:41:42.119 Finally. 930 00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:43.840 I did a couple of sessions that game when it 931 00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:47.000 first came out with Bonk, and it's like, she's so 932 00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:50.079 not the like action platformer play. She's very much you know, 933 00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:54.559 deep narrative RPGs, systems, road lights RPGs, and so I 934 00:41:54.559 --> 00:41:56.760 think she was kind of like, all right, well i'll 935 00:41:56.760 --> 00:41:58.599 play let's co op game. You know, we'll play, And 936 00:41:58.639 --> 00:42:00.599 like I could tell she wasn't like super into it, 937 00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:01.239 just not her type. 938 00:42:01.239 --> 00:42:04.239 Of game, and so I asked her last week, like, hey, you. 939 00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:06.599 Kind of going on this weekend, maybe you know, play 940 00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:09.559 some split fiction. And I just saw her like and 941 00:42:09.559 --> 00:42:11.280 I was like, okay, wait, no, I know you don't 942 00:42:11.280 --> 00:42:13.840 want to let me. I'll just see if Kayla wants to, 943 00:42:13.880 --> 00:42:15.960 and then we'll just finish it with her. And so 944 00:42:16.039 --> 00:42:18.239 I think she felt relieved to have the split fiction 945 00:42:18.280 --> 00:42:21.320 burden off of her. And Kayla and I just streamed 946 00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:24.199 two nights in a row, six hours each night and 947 00:42:24.760 --> 00:42:25.239 played it. 948 00:42:25.320 --> 00:42:30.320 And game's very, very good. It we've talked. 949 00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:31.679 About it that lath I don't need to explain why 950 00:42:31.679 --> 00:42:34.960 it's so good, but like the ending in particular, I 951 00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:35.719 don't know how many of you. 952 00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:39.199 I just heard that the end is very good. 953 00:42:38.920 --> 00:42:41.400 I heard it's just on a technical level, like I mean, 954 00:42:41.440 --> 00:42:43.679 it's basically you'd expect, you know, spoilers here, but like 955 00:42:43.719 --> 00:42:47.840 you know, fantasy and sci fi and so it's intertwining 956 00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:49.559 them in a way that is like even like the 957 00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:51.920 split screen itself is kind of like you can kind 958 00:42:51.920 --> 00:42:56.239 of adjust it and cool live. You know, the level 959 00:42:56.320 --> 00:42:59.719 is turning from fantasy, so I could be pushing a 960 00:42:59.719 --> 00:43:01.840 block in the sci fi thing and it's like some 961 00:43:01.960 --> 00:43:04.840 you know, cyber laser box or something, but on Kyla 962 00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:08.000 screen in the fantasy world, it is a mushroom and 963 00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:10.559 it can be bouncy on her side. So it's like, Okay, 964 00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:12.920 I'm looking at mine in hers and trying to figure 965 00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:16.519 out like it's the same, Like, yeah, there's a wireframe, 966 00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:18.760 it'd be the same level, but with all this different 967 00:43:18.800 --> 00:43:21.039 like fantasy and sci fi stuff, and it just seamlessly 968 00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:23.559 goes between the two. There's parts where you're going down 969 00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:25.719 slides and like there are spikes on one side and 970 00:43:25.719 --> 00:43:29.280 you have to slide to the other. Genre. Basically, it's 971 00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:31.639 just it's some wild shit it's doing. I've never seen 972 00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:33.920 a video game do anything quite like. It's very hard 973 00:43:33.960 --> 00:43:36.400 to describe if you just watch anything in the last 974 00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:40.559 chapter of splip fiction, it's fucking crazy that games really good. 975 00:43:40.679 --> 00:43:43.440 I mean, it's it is a certain type of game. 976 00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:46.400 Like I kept thinking of the phrase empty calories, but 977 00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:49.079 that feels too more negative than I mean for it 978 00:43:49.119 --> 00:43:49.320 to be. 979 00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:54.000 But it's just there's a phrase on a movie podcast 980 00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:56.079 in which where they call it a good sit or 981 00:43:56.119 --> 00:43:58.519 an easy sit, like where it's just a movie. It's like, 982 00:43:58.559 --> 00:44:01.159 you don't have to like get down deep. You can 983 00:44:01.239 --> 00:44:03.599 honestly set your popcorn and it's gonna be an easy, 984 00:44:03.639 --> 00:44:05.039 breezy sit that that. 985 00:44:05.199 --> 00:44:07.039 Yeah, it's like that where it's like it's almost like 986 00:44:07.079 --> 00:44:09.599 an amusement park ride or a roller coaster where it's like, 987 00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:12.559 I think it is a better game by not having 988 00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:14.920 like collectibles and things to slow the pacing. You know, 989 00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:16.719 it's just go, go go. Now it's this part. Now, 990 00:44:16.719 --> 00:44:18.760 it's this part. But I don't think there's gonna be 991 00:44:18.840 --> 00:44:21.239 a lot of variation in like how you play it. 992 00:44:21.239 --> 00:44:23.079 But it's not. It's not an immersive sim it's not 993 00:44:23.119 --> 00:44:24.960 like that's not what it's going for. So like this 994 00:44:25.079 --> 00:44:27.559 isn't a slight on it. It's just like I think 995 00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:29.960 we would all have a similar reaction to the part 996 00:44:29.960 --> 00:44:31.800 where oh, the hot dog part and stuff like that. 997 00:44:31.800 --> 00:44:34.480 So now it's this this scene, this part where we 998 00:44:34.519 --> 00:44:37.119 all have the same experience in the variation would be 999 00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:38.880 in like who you're playing with and your memories of 1000 00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:41.719 playing with them and stuff, But the game experience itself 1001 00:44:41.760 --> 00:44:43.679 is going to be very similar person to person, I 1002 00:44:43.679 --> 00:44:46.400 would say, but not a knock atoll. It is a 1003 00:44:46.480 --> 00:44:48.840 fantastic and we did the friend pass thing that where's 1004 00:44:49.039 --> 00:44:50.679 It's just such an easy sell, like, you know, because 1005 00:44:50.719 --> 00:44:52.840 like Kayla had never played any of the you know, 1006 00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:55.360 Hazel like games before, and so you know, if I 1007 00:44:55.400 --> 00:44:57.480 was expecting her to pay seventy dollars for it, I'd 1008 00:44:57.480 --> 00:44:59.320 have to kind of seller on it. But I was like, hey, 1009 00:44:59.559 --> 00:45:02.559 it's a here, just download this free friends past thing 1010 00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:03.400 and you'll get to play with me. 1011 00:45:03.440 --> 00:45:06.559 It's just it's a no brainer, you know. Awesome. Speaking 1012 00:45:06.599 --> 00:45:10.440 about co op games, four of us teamed up to 1013 00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:16.159 absolutely kick the crap the kind of Funny by playing 1014 00:45:16.239 --> 00:45:20.239 Monaco two. We played this against kind of Funny. It's 1015 00:45:20.239 --> 00:45:23.960 not a competitive game in that sense, but the four 1016 00:45:23.960 --> 00:45:27.239 of us teamed up do some heists against kind of Funny, 1017 00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:31.039 and y'all despite them playing a lot of that game, 1018 00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:34.719 we we we stole that day. 1019 00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:38.199 Well, we definitely had a like a deathball strategy where 1020 00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:41.199 we just all stayed together and brute force their way through. 1021 00:45:41.239 --> 00:45:41.760 For a while. 1022 00:45:41.960 --> 00:45:44.199 I would say we were barely playing the game as 1023 00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:46.840 intended until the final level where we had to and 1024 00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:48.239 then it was like, oh, this is how this game 1025 00:45:48.280 --> 00:45:51.519 is actually supposed to work. We're like using our special 1026 00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:54.960 abilities and unlocking doors and turning off triggers, and. 1027 00:45:55.840 --> 00:45:58.039 You just gotta have Jan on your squad and have 1028 00:45:58.119 --> 00:45:59.960 him to beat the fuck out of everything. 1029 00:46:00.599 --> 00:46:03.000 That's all you got to do, Mike. If they didn't 1030 00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:07.800 intend on us implementing the death ball strategy, they have, 1031 00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:10.280 let me select the character that just punches. 1032 00:46:10.599 --> 00:46:12.960 Yeah, you're definitely the death and the death ball, that's 1033 00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:15.400 for sure. Yeah, they're supposed to just ball. 1034 00:46:15.719 --> 00:46:22.280 Yeah, ball is life. I checked it out after the 1035 00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:23.800 stream and I was doing a little bit of the 1036 00:46:23.800 --> 00:46:26.039 single player stuff, and it is definitely does that work. 1037 00:46:26.440 --> 00:46:30.079 It's a definitely a very different game. Those checkpoints that 1038 00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:34.480 you get to, those are opportunities to switch characters. So 1039 00:46:36.079 --> 00:46:39.320 you know the base for I guess one has a 1040 00:46:39.360 --> 00:46:41.840 dodge roll, one is a healer, one has a drone, 1041 00:46:42.039 --> 00:46:45.480 and I forget what the other one does. But say, 1042 00:46:45.519 --> 00:46:49.480 you know you need to in the first part or 1043 00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:52.119 first chunk of the level, you need someone that can 1044 00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:56.079 distract someone, oh the dog lady sorry, And you get 1045 00:46:56.119 --> 00:46:57.920 through there, But then there's like a bunch of like 1046 00:46:58.039 --> 00:47:01.199 laser puzzles to get through, and then the easiest way 1047 00:47:01.239 --> 00:47:03.920 to get through those is just to switch characters to 1048 00:47:03.960 --> 00:47:07.320 the lady that can dodge roll, get behind to the 1049 00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:11.239 terminal to deactivate it. And it is an incredibly different 1050 00:47:11.280 --> 00:47:14.480 game than when you were playing with all four of 1051 00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:18.519 us like haphazardly, like just not even haphazardly. It is 1052 00:47:18.559 --> 00:47:26.360 all planned actually hest building. It's interesting the part where 1053 00:47:26.400 --> 00:47:30.320 I wonder if the depth does get there, not depth, 1054 00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:33.880 but when we do have to rely on stealth more. 1055 00:47:33.960 --> 00:47:35.840 I wonder if there are going to be portions in 1056 00:47:35.920 --> 00:47:40.159 Monaco two later in the game where maybe we do 1057 00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:43.599 actually have to split off and like help each other 1058 00:47:43.639 --> 00:47:47.440 kind of like get through a sequence versus most of 1059 00:47:47.480 --> 00:47:49.480 the time we're pretty close together. 1060 00:47:51.239 --> 00:47:53.960 Yeah, I got that was my what I gathered from 1061 00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:57.280 what we played, where it was like we were kind 1062 00:47:57.280 --> 00:47:59.679 of going through the early stuff and that first level 1063 00:47:59.719 --> 00:48:01.280 where we did have to kind of like use our 1064 00:48:01.320 --> 00:48:04.760 powers the way that it was intended, I think was 1065 00:48:04.840 --> 00:48:06.480 kind of an indicator of where the game was going. 1066 00:48:06.480 --> 00:48:07.880 And it's like now it's just going to get more 1067 00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:10.079 complicated from there, and we're gonna have to do even 1068 00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:12.519 more of that and kind of be in separate parts 1069 00:48:12.559 --> 00:48:15.119 and like talking to one another and setting like each other. 1070 00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:16.519 I'll be like, Okay, I've done this, now you do 1071 00:48:16.599 --> 00:48:19.400 your powers there, so we can open a door over here. 1072 00:48:20.079 --> 00:48:22.119 That seemed to be the natural progression that we were 1073 00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:24.519 just getting into as that stream was coming to an end. 1074 00:48:25.039 --> 00:48:29.239 Yeah, I would like to see maybe potentially circling back 1075 00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:32.360 to that in a non competitive environment, because I don't 1076 00:48:32.360 --> 00:48:33.639 want to funny feel bad. 1077 00:48:34.400 --> 00:48:36.840 I love Monica one, so I'm glad we spent some 1078 00:48:36.880 --> 00:48:37.559 time with that at all. 1079 00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:40.000 I'm still waiting on the Venmo from Miller with the 1080 00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:41.480 sponsored money on that one. 1081 00:48:41.519 --> 00:48:45.239 Yeah, right right, Yeah, he was even there. He ducked us. 1082 00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:49.400 He's doing a comedy show in Chicago or something. 1083 00:48:50.079 --> 00:48:51.960 You know, how much I like Portello's How much do 1084 00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:56.760 you like Portellos's the same ship as always? Hahaha? PC games, 1085 00:48:56.800 --> 00:49:00.880 Am I right? You have to start an execute the shirts. 1086 00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:01.639 Spider Man. 1087 00:49:04.519 --> 00:49:06.880 Sounds like we're trying to start a war right now 1088 00:49:07.239 --> 00:49:13.719 and Ribs a decade ago, and exactly that was the 1089 00:49:13.760 --> 00:49:17.519 first shot, you know, so long ago. We're gonna keep 1090 00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:20.599 this war running. And then, Jeff Grubb, I'm gonna have 1091 00:49:20.639 --> 00:49:24.360 to defer to you because you have been playing war side. 1092 00:49:24.840 --> 00:49:27.599 Yes, the war side. In the long history of video 1093 00:49:27.639 --> 00:49:29.440 games to have war in the name, it's up there 1094 00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:34.400 with war Face maybe only second to that. Yeah, this 1095 00:49:34.440 --> 00:49:38.960 is an Advanced Wars game in everything except for the name. 1096 00:49:39.239 --> 00:49:42.719 It looks like Advance Wars for a game Boy Advance. 1097 00:49:43.320 --> 00:49:45.800 It plays a lot like those games. And there have 1098 00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:49.079 been a lot of these now and this one is 1099 00:49:49.519 --> 00:49:51.960 war Groove. Yes, this is the one that maybe is 1100 00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:56.119 going the most. Hey, this is just Advance Wars. It 1101 00:49:56.159 --> 00:49:59.360 looks that way. Wow, look at this. It does have 1102 00:49:59.760 --> 00:50:03.960 it's own like you know, quirks and even like units 1103 00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:06.159 like for example, an early unit you get is a 1104 00:50:06.760 --> 00:50:11.639 basically a bulldozer and this can push enemies like back 1105 00:50:11.679 --> 00:50:13.760 a few blocks. So if they're in a tank and 1106 00:50:13.800 --> 00:50:15.840 you push them into a river, well they can't go 1107 00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:17.519 in a river, so they'll just die instantly. Or you 1108 00:50:17.559 --> 00:50:19.000 can push them into a mountain or a building and 1109 00:50:19.000 --> 00:50:21.280 they'll just die instantly. And so that's that's fun. It's 1110 00:50:21.320 --> 00:50:23.159 a lot like Into the Breach. That is what that 1111 00:50:23.239 --> 00:50:26.119 reminded me of. I love I'm Into the Breach is 1112 00:50:26.119 --> 00:50:30.639 maybe my favorite Tactics game now. Yeah. So I think 1113 00:50:31.079 --> 00:50:34.079 the issue with this one might be, based on what 1114 00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:35.920 I'm seeing from some of the other reviews, is there's 1115 00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:40.239 limited content. Content is pretty like light but also I 1116 00:50:40.760 --> 00:50:43.119 get the sense that, like, yeah, they got everything right 1117 00:50:43.119 --> 00:50:45.599 about the way it looks, except for the character portraits 1118 00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:47.760 are very ugly. I think I don't like looking at them. 1119 00:50:48.480 --> 00:50:51.239 Realistic ish, you know, you know what it is. It's 1120 00:50:51.239 --> 00:50:55.800 halfway between Advanced Wars and Day of Ruin, the very 1121 00:50:55.920 --> 00:50:57.679 like grim Dark one that day, which you know, I 1122 00:50:57.679 --> 00:50:59.800 think has been reassessed and people are mostly okay with 1123 00:51:00.199 --> 00:51:03.480 Ruin these days, but this is like somewhere in between, 1124 00:51:03.559 --> 00:51:07.159 so it just comes out kind of boring. But the 1125 00:51:07.639 --> 00:51:10.519 issue for me, I think is going to be a 1126 00:51:10.559 --> 00:51:12.440 lot of these games. You know, they don't get the 1127 00:51:12.480 --> 00:51:14.679 math right. So like when you go into a battle, 1128 00:51:14.719 --> 00:51:16.760 you feel like, all right, I should have I should 1129 00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:19.679 be making like probabilistic decisions about like is this going 1130 00:51:19.760 --> 00:51:22.000 to be best if I attack first? I should be 1131 00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:24.440 able to like skirt out of this, maybe retreat a 1132 00:51:24.480 --> 00:51:27.400 little bit, have some reinforcements come back up, And all 1133 00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:29.599 that depends on like how much damage you're doing and 1134 00:51:29.599 --> 00:51:31.400 how much damage you're taking. All that has to be 1135 00:51:31.440 --> 00:51:34.840 balanced pretty carefully, and I think this game does get 1136 00:51:34.880 --> 00:51:37.280 that side of things mostly right. I have not had 1137 00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:41.360 any issues there yet, but I think the like it 1138 00:51:41.400 --> 00:51:44.400 becomes less interesting because I think the AI is just 1139 00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:46.119 like and usually I'm not so ine who minds this, 1140 00:51:46.280 --> 00:51:48.760 but in the game like this, I want it to 1141 00:51:48.760 --> 00:51:52.199 feel like less like a strategy game for an advance worse, 1142 00:51:52.280 --> 00:51:56.000 more like a puzzle game. And if the enemy is 1143 00:51:56.039 --> 00:51:59.559 always just sort of making new units and running straight ahead, 1144 00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:02.000 it's not going to feel very interesting. And that's been 1145 00:52:02.039 --> 00:52:06.480 my experience so far. Maybe that's just early, but I'm 1146 00:52:06.559 --> 00:52:08.480 hoping that that changes up because if it kind of 1147 00:52:08.480 --> 00:52:10.840 stays that way, I'll maybe have some issues long term. 1148 00:52:10.880 --> 00:52:12.599 Now for me, if like you're looking for a really 1149 00:52:12.639 --> 00:52:14.159 good and one one of these, I think they're called 1150 00:52:14.199 --> 00:52:17.159 Tiny Tank and it's the second one or tiny Metal 1151 00:52:17.159 --> 00:52:19.840 excuse me, that's what it is, Tiny Metal. The second 1152 00:52:19.840 --> 00:52:23.000 one was very good. I got everything right. I like 1153 00:52:23.079 --> 00:52:25.679 that one a ton and this one. You know, they 1154 00:52:25.800 --> 00:52:28.159 was in early access for a while and now this 1155 00:52:28.239 --> 00:52:31.039 is the full release and apparently it's missing some features 1156 00:52:31.039 --> 00:52:33.079 that people had an early access and stuff like that. 1157 00:52:33.119 --> 00:52:35.199 So it's just kind of a weird launch and there's 1158 00:52:35.320 --> 00:52:37.760 like a lot of backlash from the people from the 1159 00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:40.920 kickstarters and all the things like that, but it's giving 1160 00:52:41.000 --> 00:52:44.480 a pretty good first impression. I just I'm always looking 1161 00:52:44.480 --> 00:52:46.320 for an advanced Worts game. I love this a lot. 1162 00:52:46.400 --> 00:52:48.000 I love that genre as a lot. This one's just 1163 00:52:48.079 --> 00:52:49.639 kind of missing in a few spots. 1164 00:52:49.880 --> 00:52:52.400 What is it about some of these other advanced war 1165 00:52:52.559 --> 00:52:56.199 inspired games where it just doesn't have the juice that 1166 00:52:56.199 --> 00:52:56.400 you are. 1167 00:52:56.559 --> 00:53:00.119 I don't know. I didn't love War Groove, Yeah, I 1168 00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:03.519 don't know. I think it's like a big part of 1169 00:53:03.519 --> 00:53:05.880 it could be that Fire Emblem, which is a very 1170 00:53:05.880 --> 00:53:10.400 similar kind of game, has evolved so much since the 1171 00:53:10.440 --> 00:53:12.800 Game Boy Advance era that it's like there's so much 1172 00:53:12.800 --> 00:53:15.840 more going on in this genre now that the people 1173 00:53:15.880 --> 00:53:18.159 that love Advance Wars and not one of them, when 1174 00:53:18.159 --> 00:53:20.159 they want to go back to just just Advance Wars, 1175 00:53:20.519 --> 00:53:23.239 it's like, Okay, you've got to make sure then the stuff, 1176 00:53:23.280 --> 00:53:25.960 the basic stuff you are doing, has to be perfect, 1177 00:53:26.039 --> 00:53:28.920 has to be so good, and I think they get 1178 00:53:28.960 --> 00:53:30.840 distracted by their own like, well, here's what we're going 1179 00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:32.559 to do. Set our stuff apart, and that's never quite 1180 00:53:32.599 --> 00:53:34.599 as good as like what Fire Emblem is doing. That'd 1181 00:53:34.639 --> 00:53:35.280 be my guess. 1182 00:53:35.400 --> 00:53:38.320 I don't know copyright law, but I wonder, like how 1183 00:53:38.320 --> 00:53:39.920 close do you have to be to something to be 1184 00:53:40.159 --> 00:53:43.800 legally actionable, because like looking at everything about the actual 1185 00:53:43.880 --> 00:53:46.960 map in the battle screens and stuff like not the portraits, 1186 00:53:47.079 --> 00:53:51.000 but everything else is just Advance Wars. 1187 00:53:51.239 --> 00:53:54.199 Yeah, I think that they would prop I mean, listen, 1188 00:53:54.239 --> 00:53:56.599 Nintendo could sue whoever it wants to sue, right, and 1189 00:53:56.679 --> 00:53:58.840 they have real, very good lawyers, So people would probably 1190 00:53:58.920 --> 00:54:01.119 like we should just settle. But I think in this 1191 00:54:01.199 --> 00:54:04.800 case it's like you can't like copyright an art style. Uh, 1192 00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:07.000 And I think that that's probably what they would argue. 1193 00:54:07.320 --> 00:54:09.280 A lot of those units look very similar, but are 1194 00:54:09.320 --> 00:54:11.639 they distinct enough. I think they'd probably be able to 1195 00:54:11.639 --> 00:54:13.960 make the argument that they are. So Yeah, it's but 1196 00:54:14.119 --> 00:54:16.239 it is blatant, and I don't I don't mind it whatever. 1197 00:54:16.239 --> 00:54:17.920 I know, and I'm glad it looks like that game. 1198 00:54:18.159 --> 00:54:20.400 I like the way it looks better than the Advanced 1199 00:54:20.400 --> 00:54:24.719 Wars remasters that we got. Yeah, smooth everything out. Yeah Yeah. 1200 00:54:24.800 --> 00:54:28.000 I think it was one of y'all that said it 1201 00:54:28.199 --> 00:54:32.719 just inspired you to pick up the original Advance for Yeah. Yeah, 1202 00:54:32.800 --> 00:54:35.920 I wound up doing the same last thing on the 1203 00:54:35.960 --> 00:54:39.320 list here. I don't know if someone misspelled this hall 1204 00:54:39.800 --> 00:54:41.960 peg idol heg idol. 1205 00:54:41.920 --> 00:54:46.320 It's an idol Pegel. Oh it's uh, it's exactly what 1206 00:54:46.360 --> 00:54:46.920 it sounds like. 1207 00:54:46.960 --> 00:54:49.079 It's it's pegel. It looks exactly like pegel. 1208 00:54:49.159 --> 00:54:51.719 But you're like buying stuff with the goal, Like you 1209 00:54:51.800 --> 00:54:53.880 hit the gold pegs, you make money, and then you 1210 00:54:53.920 --> 00:54:56.119 can use that to unlock new balls, like oh, the 1211 00:54:56.119 --> 00:54:58.639 bomb ball, the super bouncy ball, the rock ball, and 1212 00:54:58.639 --> 00:55:00.480 then you can choose which one you're shooting your gun. 1213 00:55:00.559 --> 00:55:02.599 But then you also said a bunch of auto drop stuff, 1214 00:55:02.599 --> 00:55:04.679 and you're buying stuff to like, Okay, I've got the 1215 00:55:04.760 --> 00:55:08.239 rock balls auto dropping every point six seconds, and so 1216 00:55:08.280 --> 00:55:12.119 there's just this constant shower of balls, and you can 1217 00:55:12.159 --> 00:55:15.239 also shoot your own balls, and you're just constantly getting 1218 00:55:15.239 --> 00:55:18.320 gold and upgrading your balls, and uh, it's it's just 1219 00:55:18.360 --> 00:55:20.239 a good time. It's just there's no way you're not 1220 00:55:20.280 --> 00:55:21.199 gonna download this. 1221 00:55:21.239 --> 00:55:22.400 I haven't installed it yet, though. 1222 00:55:22.719 --> 00:55:25.280 Yeah, I'm seeing so many numbers go up and I 1223 00:55:25.360 --> 00:55:27.599 need say it's one of those and it's just very 1224 00:55:27.639 --> 00:55:28.039 good at that. 1225 00:55:28.280 --> 00:55:31.480 Yes, So yeah, Jane, you weren't here lastly, but I 1226 00:55:31.480 --> 00:55:33.880 played Nubby's Number Adventure after you recommended it. 1227 00:55:33.880 --> 00:55:34.400 That was great. 1228 00:55:35.079 --> 00:55:36.199 I enjoyed it a lot. 1229 00:55:36.480 --> 00:55:40.800 Hell yeah, all right, gang, That about does it for 1230 00:55:41.000 --> 00:55:44.719 video game chatter.

Let's start by 1238 00:56:12.079 --> 00:56:13.639 staring you directly in the eyes, because that's where I 1239 00:56:13.639 --> 00:56:14.119 put the news. 1240 00:56:14.920 --> 00:56:15.440 I don't like this. 1241 00:56:16.039 --> 00:56:18.760 Look right at me. Elder Scrolls for Oblivion, Well, what's 1242 00:56:18.800 --> 00:56:19.400 going on my throat? 1243 00:56:19.400 --> 00:56:22.280 Hang on those AI eyes? 1244 00:56:22.559 --> 00:56:23.880 Yeah, I'll just do that instead. 1245 00:56:23.960 --> 00:56:26.719 Yeah, one eyes. Sorry, I saw the thing. 1246 00:56:28.800 --> 00:56:33.199 Elder Scrolls for Oblivion Remastered screens and details have leaked. 1247 00:56:33.559 --> 00:56:37.360 Leaked information suggest and Elder Scrolls for Oblivion Remastered is 1248 00:56:37.400 --> 00:56:41.800 in development by Bethesda and Virtuos. The remaster, reportedly releasing 1249 00:56:41.800 --> 00:56:45.239 for PC and Xbox Series X and S and PlayStation five, 1250 00:56:45.480 --> 00:56:49.000 will include visual and mechanical overhauls, such as improved combat mechanics. 1251 00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:53.519 Blah blah blah, We've talked about it before. Someone was like, Okay, 1252 00:56:53.559 --> 00:56:55.280 I keep hearing these rumors. I'm just gonna go check 1253 00:56:55.400 --> 00:56:59.400 Virtuous's website. And then they inspected an element and saw 1254 00:56:59.440 --> 00:57:01.639 that they were used word press, and I think they 1255 00:57:01.679 --> 00:57:04.000 just started like looking for different folders that would be 1256 00:57:04.000 --> 00:57:06.880 starting the word press, and they found one that was 1257 00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:10.800 labeled Elder Scrolls for Oblivion Remastered. They found a bunch 1258 00:57:10.800 --> 00:57:14.679 of screenshots, a bunch of comparison shots, and now those 1259 00:57:14.719 --> 00:57:17.639 are out there, and you know this is happening. We've 1260 00:57:17.719 --> 00:57:19.920 known for a long time that this that this is happening. 1261 00:57:20.320 --> 00:57:23.440 And like I said on yesterday's Game Breaking News, it's 1262 00:57:23.440 --> 00:57:25.840 gonna shadow drop next week. It's it's coming next week. 1263 00:57:25.920 --> 00:57:28.960 I keep being told to shadow drop. Still weirds me out. 1264 00:57:29.039 --> 00:57:31.280 I'm like with everyone like, that's a weird way way 1265 00:57:31.320 --> 00:57:33.639 to handle a big game like this, but that's what 1266 00:57:33.679 --> 00:57:36.039 I keep hearing. But next week we should have the 1267 00:57:36.079 --> 00:57:39.840 information about this, so it's more real than ever. Did 1268 00:57:39.840 --> 00:57:41.239 you guys get a chance to look at it? Cause 1269 00:57:41.280 --> 00:57:44.440 I think it looks pretty good. Although people are pointing 1270 00:57:44.440 --> 00:57:47.039 out these screenshots in like the original game, there's a 1271 00:57:47.079 --> 00:57:49.239 lot of green, lushness to it. And maybe it's a 1272 00:57:49.280 --> 00:57:52.199 little bit more brown. I'm hoping that that's just these 1273 00:57:52.639 --> 00:57:55.079 these screenshots and the green is more prominent in the 1274 00:57:55.119 --> 00:57:55.559 full game. 1275 00:57:55.639 --> 00:57:57.519 Yeah, it's like a comparison here where it's like, it 1276 00:57:57.519 --> 00:58:00.440 looks like the one is taken during Springer. Are the 1277 00:58:00.519 --> 00:58:05.360 other ones like the beginning of Winter. Everything's yeah yellowed. 1278 00:58:05.519 --> 00:58:08.519 It's weird because it's you don't see the piss filter 1279 00:58:08.679 --> 00:58:13.079 added more intensely to three sixty games usually turn it off. Yeah, 1280 00:58:13.119 --> 00:58:16.519 but I mean maybe it was never a pretty game. 1281 00:58:18.039 --> 00:58:21.239 I liked the rolling hills and all that stuff. Sure cool, 1282 00:58:21.320 --> 00:58:22.519 the characters. 1283 00:58:22.119 --> 00:58:22.559 Not as much. 1284 00:58:22.679 --> 00:58:25.440 Yeah, you're right, Yeah, the characters are definitely the problem. 1285 00:58:25.440 --> 00:58:27.719 These character models look better. They look a little, i 1286 00:58:27.719 --> 00:58:32.519 don't know, a smidge generic Unreal Engine five. I suppose 1287 00:58:32.559 --> 00:58:35.280 we really wanted to get super critical, but. 1288 00:58:35.400 --> 00:58:37.760 I know they look fine. Ah. I'm excited for this. 1289 00:58:37.840 --> 00:58:39.840 I obliving's great. Haven't played in a long time. 1290 00:58:40.159 --> 00:58:43.719 That's a big game to remake, right, that is a 1291 00:58:43.719 --> 00:58:47.360 pretty big undertaking. There's just a lot of content there. 1292 00:58:48.000 --> 00:58:50.199 So yeah, the idea that we could be playing this 1293 00:58:50.280 --> 00:58:52.880 in like a week, that's a pretty wild. 1294 00:58:52.880 --> 00:58:55.280 I think I'm gonna do it again. I really I 1295 00:58:55.320 --> 00:58:57.840 never played more Win back in the day, but you know, 1296 00:58:58.000 --> 00:59:00.280 the hype in the early three sixty like this like 1297 00:59:00.280 --> 00:59:02.960 the first big post launch game, and I went in. 1298 00:59:03.119 --> 00:59:04.920 I absolutely loved it. Did everything I. 1299 00:59:05.079 --> 00:59:07.280 Do in that game, and I think it's probably my 1300 00:59:07.320 --> 00:59:10.239 favorite PROTHESTA game. I think, Yeah, it's up there, I 1301 00:59:10.800 --> 00:59:11.280 play it again. 1302 00:59:11.320 --> 00:59:13.360 Yeah, I never checked it out, so I'm really curious 1303 00:59:13.360 --> 00:59:15.679 to finally check it. Check this one. 1304 00:59:15.559 --> 00:59:20.440 Out, Jam Jam Jam. 1305 00:59:21.840 --> 00:59:22.400 I tried. 1306 00:59:23.119 --> 00:59:26.440 Yeah, it was Valiant, I am. Yeah, I'm gonna try 1307 00:59:26.480 --> 00:59:29.840 it as well. I love Oblivion. Where are you all 1308 00:59:29.880 --> 00:59:32.039 at with? Uh? You know, we don't have Sean Hero, 1309 00:59:32.159 --> 00:59:34.679 who I consider the arbiter of telling me is it 1310 00:59:34.719 --> 00:59:37.920 a remake or a remaster. They're labeling it as a 1311 00:59:37.960 --> 00:59:41.119 remaster here, but all the visuals look remade in a 1312 00:59:41.119 --> 00:59:43.039 lot of ways, and that's what we've heard. It's being 1313 00:59:43.079 --> 00:59:45.880 remade in Unreal at least the visuals. There's been back 1314 00:59:45.960 --> 00:59:47.719 and forth about what's happening with the gameplay, but at 1315 00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:49.960 least visually, it looks like, you know, one of those 1316 00:59:50.000 --> 00:59:52.679 standard remakes, not a residentvial to remake. 1317 00:59:52.920 --> 00:59:55.760 Maybe it's a remastered, you could. 1318 00:59:55.840 --> 00:59:58.400 It could be a remastered, Yeah, it could be a 1319 00:59:58.440 --> 00:59:59.360 definitive edition. 1320 00:59:59.679 --> 01:00:00.760 Yeah, okay, it could be. 1321 01:00:00.960 --> 01:00:03.920 Yeah, that line has burned so much, like the like 1322 01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:06.559 Vetro Primary Master. That's the thing I would have absolutely 1323 01:00:06.559 --> 01:00:08.760 have called a remake. To me, if you're replacing most 1324 01:00:08.840 --> 01:00:11.559 of the game assets, that's kind of a remake. But 1325 01:00:11.639 --> 01:00:13.800 I think, yeah, there's we've had so many of these 1326 01:00:13.840 --> 01:00:17.440 really expansive remakes where it's basically a new game that 1327 01:00:17.440 --> 01:00:22.079 that word feels a little bit weird now. So I 1328 01:00:22.119 --> 01:00:23.519 am kind of at a point now where it's like, 1329 01:00:23.519 --> 01:00:24.840 when you're in the middle like this, you can call 1330 01:00:24.880 --> 01:00:27.000 what you want. There are still things that are definitely 1331 01:00:27.039 --> 01:00:29.519 remasters and things that are definitely re remakes. 1332 01:00:29.559 --> 01:00:31.920 And we have this new gray area. We need it. 1333 01:00:31.920 --> 01:00:33.920 We almost need a new name for it or something. 1334 01:00:33.960 --> 01:00:36.280 I don't know what Sean says here where it's like 1335 01:00:36.440 --> 01:00:39.239 if they made new visuals, it's a remake. Yeah, I 1336 01:00:39.280 --> 01:00:41.159 think that's a remaster. Would be just like oh, an 1337 01:00:41.320 --> 01:00:42.880 HD re release or something like. 1338 01:00:42.880 --> 01:00:43.960 That what Nightdivee does. 1339 01:00:44.039 --> 01:00:46.559 Most of the times those are remasters, right right, So 1340 01:00:46.800 --> 01:00:50.920 System Shock which they remay was that thumb Yeah, so yeah, 1341 01:00:51.039 --> 01:00:52.519 generally that's how it goes. 1342 01:00:53.440 --> 01:00:56.440 Uh so, yeah, we get more information, I guess next 1343 01:00:56.440 --> 01:01:00.519 week and then we're playing it. That's yeah, I'm sticking 1344 01:01:00.519 --> 01:01:02.800 to that. That seems That's why I've heard that repeatedly now, 1345 01:01:02.920 --> 01:01:06.360 so feeling good about that. In the meantime. How much 1346 01:01:06.440 --> 01:01:07.519 is the horse Armour going to be? 1347 01:01:08.000 --> 01:01:09.679 I mean, they're gonna include it for free, but I 1348 01:01:09.760 --> 01:01:12.880 like that people are expecting there to still be a reference. Actually, 1349 01:01:12.880 --> 01:01:14.440 I kind of hope you get to pay the original price. 1350 01:01:14.800 --> 01:01:20.320 Horse just made it really expensive. Someone will buy it. 1351 01:01:20.599 --> 01:01:23.280 The game is free, but the horse Armour's five thousand 1352 01:01:23.280 --> 01:01:26.639 dollars like that, let's go status symbol. 1353 01:01:27.000 --> 01:01:29.360 Uh huh, what a what a simpler time when we 1354 01:01:29.360 --> 01:01:32.000 were all mad about paying for horse Armor. Huh. It 1355 01:01:32.119 --> 01:01:33.760 was freeze social media. 1356 01:01:33.880 --> 01:01:37.599 I guess it was like early Facebook days. Yeah, and 1357 01:01:37.760 --> 01:01:40.199 it still was everywhere on the gaming internet. 1358 01:01:40.199 --> 01:01:45.079 Oh people, Yeah, I mean it was. It seems so 1359 01:01:45.119 --> 01:01:47.440 innocent now podcast at that point jesus. 1360 01:01:47.480 --> 01:01:49.880 I don't know, looking back, it's kind of like, well, 1361 01:01:49.880 --> 01:01:51.719 I guess their fears were founded. 1362 01:01:52.280 --> 01:01:55.679 Yours was the thing at that must be forms and 1363 01:01:55.719 --> 01:01:59.000 the blog post on one up and whatever. Okay, uh, 1364 01:01:59.159 --> 01:02:02.039 do we know I assume shivering oles as part of this. 1365 01:02:02.159 --> 01:02:05.719 But then like, you know, there are things like Breath 1366 01:02:05.719 --> 01:02:08.199 of the Wild, Switch To Edition does not come with 1367 01:02:08.280 --> 01:02:11.960 that expansion past stuff. Very that's very Nintendo. 1368 01:02:12.000 --> 01:02:13.800 I think it'd be wild if they wanted to like 1369 01:02:13.880 --> 01:02:17.000 release shivering oles later and made us pay for it. 1370 01:02:17.679 --> 01:02:20.400 Although Persona three did it, it's like, yeah, game still 1371 01:02:20.440 --> 01:02:24.119 can't do that sort of stuff. Yeah, well, I think, guy, 1372 01:02:24.480 --> 01:02:25.920 you know, the way that they are coming out with 1373 01:02:25.960 --> 01:02:27.599 this thing, and if it is just going to be 1374 01:02:27.840 --> 01:02:30.840 a shadow drop, I imagine it's just gonna have everything 1375 01:02:30.840 --> 01:02:32.599 all in one and they're not gonna be like, let's, 1376 01:02:32.719 --> 01:02:35.079 you know, drag this out for months and have DLC 1377 01:02:35.199 --> 01:02:38.960 later or something like that. But we'll see, all right. 1378 01:02:39.159 --> 01:02:42.480 Sony increased the price of the PlayStation five. Sony has 1379 01:02:42.480 --> 01:02:44.800 increased the price of the PS five Digital Edition in 1380 01:02:44.880 --> 01:02:48.079 Europe to four hundred to five hundred euro. Basically, they 1381 01:02:48.159 --> 01:02:50.119 raced it about fifty EU ro. I think it was 1382 01:02:50.159 --> 01:02:53.159 four to fifty before this. They raised it about ten 1383 01:02:53.199 --> 01:02:57.400 percent in the UK as well. In New Zealand and 1384 01:02:57.480 --> 01:03:00.800 Australia the system also went up ten percent. But they 1385 01:03:00.840 --> 01:03:03.760 also increase the price of the standard edition that comes 1386 01:03:03.800 --> 01:03:07.440 with the disk drive included, and then they lowered the 1387 01:03:07.480 --> 01:03:10.360 price of the dis drive everywhere in all these territories, 1388 01:03:10.960 --> 01:03:14.159 so this seems to be And they said it's due 1389 01:03:14.199 --> 01:03:17.679 to inflation, and that's like you know, lagging inflation, the 1390 01:03:17.679 --> 01:03:20.320 inflation that has already happened, although I think they are 1391 01:03:20.320 --> 01:03:22.639 also trying to price this with the idea that more 1392 01:03:22.679 --> 01:03:25.480 inflation could still happen. And then they said due to 1393 01:03:26.360 --> 01:03:30.320 destabilized exchange rates. Basically, you know, the end was way down, 1394 01:03:30.679 --> 01:03:33.000 the dollar was way up, a bunch of other currencies 1395 01:03:33.000 --> 01:03:35.400 were up high compared to the end. That's gonna go, 1396 01:03:35.559 --> 01:03:38.400 that's gonna you know, fluctuate a lot. It's fluctuating a 1397 01:03:38.440 --> 01:03:41.559 ton right now because of the tariff situation that's made 1398 01:03:41.599 --> 01:03:45.360 it especially volatile volatile. So I think Sony's are like, 1399 01:03:45.400 --> 01:03:47.960 we got to, you know, move right now. But of 1400 01:03:47.960 --> 01:03:50.840 course this is also really just a good excuse to 1401 01:03:50.920 --> 01:03:54.239 raise the price for an expensive thing to make right 1402 01:03:54.280 --> 01:03:55.920 as they're about to sell a ton more of them 1403 01:03:55.920 --> 01:03:58.920 because GTA six is coming out, so you know, they're 1404 01:03:58.920 --> 01:04:01.599 taking the excuses they can take, and this thing is 1405 01:04:01.639 --> 01:04:03.320 going to sell a ton more because GT six A 1406 01:04:03.320 --> 01:04:05.400 lot of people been waiting on the sideline for that game, 1407 01:04:05.760 --> 01:04:07.840 and that game's not on PS five or PS four 1408 01:04:08.079 --> 01:04:08.920 and Xbox One. 1409 01:04:09.000 --> 01:04:11.840 No, that's like, yeah, I get, I get the GTA 1410 01:04:11.920 --> 01:04:15.440 six thing, but this console is five years old, and 1411 01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:18.840 I know that we're upsettingly not on the era where 1412 01:04:18.880 --> 01:04:20.840 the prices ever go down these things, And that alone 1413 01:04:20.920 --> 01:04:24.679 is weird the idea that they would go up. I mean, 1414 01:04:25.119 --> 01:04:28.000 and I'm almost afraid to say this because if you'll 1415 01:04:28.000 --> 01:04:30.800 get mad, how good has the PS five. 1416 01:04:30.679 --> 01:04:34.079 Been right now? You want to charge this much for 1417 01:04:34.119 --> 01:04:38.400 it in these territories. It's just kind of wild to me. Yep, 1418 01:04:38.559 --> 01:04:41.320 it's it feels unearned for sure, Like, but I think 1419 01:04:41.360 --> 01:04:44.079 that's the big thing here. That's why people, uh you know, 1420 01:04:44.239 --> 01:04:46.360 I think it's people are reacting to it because it's 1421 01:04:46.360 --> 01:04:48.639 a price increase for something that has traditionally gone down 1422 01:04:48.639 --> 01:04:51.440 in price, a console. But also it's like, no one 1423 01:04:51.519 --> 01:04:55.280 has felt great about this generation on consoles across the board. 1424 01:04:55.320 --> 01:04:58.360 It's been okay in some respects. Maybe we're a little 1425 01:04:58.360 --> 01:05:00.440 harsh on it. But then they come back and like, well, 1426 01:05:00.440 --> 01:05:02.920 give us more money for the PS five going forward, 1427 01:05:03.119 --> 01:05:06.320 and it's like, you know, we talk about, you know, God, 1428 01:05:06.320 --> 01:05:07.800 they want to get to switched twos into as many 1429 01:05:07.800 --> 01:05:09.960 people's hands as possible so people can buy the software 1430 01:05:09.960 --> 01:05:12.159 that's where the money's really made. And then these companies 1431 01:05:12.199 --> 01:05:13.840 don't act that way and we're not in charge as 1432 01:05:13.880 --> 01:05:15.639 much for the hardware as we possibly can, and then 1433 01:05:15.719 --> 01:05:19.000 you know, we'll just sell software. I guess I don't know. 1434 01:05:19.079 --> 01:05:21.639 I think they just don't see consoles as a growth space. 1435 01:05:21.679 --> 01:05:23.320 And I think that's not like a hot take. I 1436 01:05:23.320 --> 01:05:24.920 think probably kind of admitted as well, But it's like 1437 01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:27.280 this death spiral 're like, well, consoles aren't going to gross. 1438 01:05:27.280 --> 01:05:29.920 You got to squeeze what we can from people. Well, 1439 01:05:30.039 --> 01:05:32.639 then that market's going to shrink every time you race 1440 01:05:32.760 --> 01:05:35.320 prices are refused to ever drop prices or whatever make 1441 01:05:35.360 --> 01:05:38.519 these things more easily accessible. So I don't know, it's 1442 01:05:38.559 --> 01:05:40.880 just this consoles are in this weird space right now, 1443 01:05:41.000 --> 01:05:45.320 especially these super traditional ones like the Xboxes in the PlayStation. 1444 01:05:45.360 --> 01:05:47.639 I mean, we see what's happening with Xbox, and it 1445 01:05:47.679 --> 01:05:51.079 has not been some boon for PlayStation to have Xbox 1446 01:05:51.199 --> 01:05:54.440 not bow out of the console race, but definitely death 1447 01:05:54.480 --> 01:05:58.639 stocks on it. Yeah. Yeah, no price increasing in the 1448 01:05:58.760 --> 01:06:03.119 United States, But are we expecting one? Because I am maybe. 1449 01:06:03.159 --> 01:06:04.239 I mean, you you bring this up. 1450 01:06:04.280 --> 01:06:07.599 How people in the US get more angry than other territories. 1451 01:06:07.639 --> 01:06:10.800 Sometimes there's a pretty a pretty big fuss about that. 1452 01:06:10.880 --> 01:06:13.480 Yeah, we are treated with kid gloves for sure. Yeah. 1453 01:06:13.519 --> 01:06:17.320 So it's like, if you're doing these our places like 1454 01:06:17.519 --> 01:06:20.320 feasibly and economically, it seems like we would be due 1455 01:06:20.320 --> 01:06:22.639 for one too. But then there is something about it 1456 01:06:22.639 --> 01:06:24.400 always being you a moreria when we talk about the US, 1457 01:06:24.480 --> 01:06:28.199 Jeff and again, I'm just like, how could you charge. 1458 01:06:27.760 --> 01:06:32.679 More for a Space PlayStation five? The thing is five 1459 01:06:32.920 --> 01:06:39.719 years old. It's not that good. Well, we'll see they 1460 01:06:39.960 --> 01:06:41.639 you know that I might have that might have. The 1461 01:06:41.679 --> 01:06:44.280 next story be about tariffs. I can't remember. No, that's 1462 01:06:44.280 --> 01:06:47.320 coming up soon. But yeah, the tariffs are just they're 1463 01:06:47.360 --> 01:06:51.360 still here something. It's got exceptions, not consoles. We'll get 1464 01:06:51.440 --> 01:06:54.639 into all that here soon. Marathon details Bungees Marathon will 1465 01:06:54.679 --> 01:06:58.519 launch on September twenty third on PCPs five and Xbox 1466 01:06:58.559 --> 01:07:01.800 Series X and S with full cross play and cross 1467 01:07:01.840 --> 01:07:04.320 save support. It will not be free to play, but 1468 01:07:04.360 --> 01:07:08.199 they did not give pricing details. The first close alpha 1469 01:07:08.239 --> 01:07:11.199 test will begin in April. I guess later this month. 1470 01:07:11.239 --> 01:07:14.239 Is that O Case Marathon is a PvP ve game, 1471 01:07:14.280 --> 01:07:17.199 which we say that a lot. There's always the chances 1472 01:07:17.199 --> 01:07:19.320 people listening that have no idea what that even means. 1473 01:07:19.760 --> 01:07:21.840 They play a lot of single player games, or maybe 1474 01:07:21.840 --> 01:07:24.320 they do play multiplayer games on their console. This is 1475 01:07:24.400 --> 01:07:27.480 a term that definitely comes from more the PC side 1476 01:07:27.519 --> 01:07:28.159 of things. 1477 01:07:27.960 --> 01:07:30.880 Playing extraction shooter. 1478 01:07:31.199 --> 01:07:34.559 It's an extraction shooter. Titan Fall does have PVPVE elements 1479 01:07:34.559 --> 01:07:36.119 where it has drones in there for your ship, and 1480 01:07:36.159 --> 01:07:40.280 that's those like ads, right, this is you. There are 1481 01:07:40.360 --> 01:07:45.280 multiple teams competing in an environment to uh, it's an 1482 01:07:45.280 --> 01:07:48.039 exo primal exactly. Now everyone understands I should have just 1483 01:07:48.079 --> 01:07:51.639 said that, yeah, and and these I think it's six 1484 01:07:51.679 --> 01:07:54.800 teams of three people, and it's only teams of three. 1485 01:07:54.920 --> 01:07:56.719 If you want to play by yourself, you can, but 1486 01:07:56.760 --> 01:07:58.639 you just have to set the auto fil to off, 1487 01:07:58.719 --> 01:08:01.119 so you're at a disadvantage. There's no like single player, 1488 01:08:01.239 --> 01:08:04.000 like oh, my team of one against other teams of one. 1489 01:08:04.639 --> 01:08:06.880 But these six teams are all going trying to get 1490 01:08:06.920 --> 01:08:10.360 stuff and extract loot from the game. But there are 1491 01:08:10.400 --> 01:08:12.239 other teams trying to do the same thing, and when 1492 01:08:12.239 --> 01:08:14.239 they run into each other, it might be who you 1493 01:08:14.440 --> 01:08:16.560 to ignore one another or might behoove you to to 1494 01:08:16.640 --> 01:08:19.159 fight one another try to get their loot so you 1495 01:08:19.239 --> 01:08:20.800 have even more when you leave the game. 1496 01:08:20.840 --> 01:08:21.720 It's risk reward. 1497 01:08:22.439 --> 01:08:24.800 But yeah, so there's multiple sides to It's not just 1498 01:08:24.880 --> 01:08:29.439 straight up team deathmatch this. You know, extraction is the 1499 01:08:29.520 --> 01:08:33.800 genre that they're going for. People seem very unsure because 1500 01:08:33.800 --> 01:08:36.920 I think most people watching this are Bungee fans first, 1501 01:08:37.319 --> 01:08:40.640 and then Destiny fans, and then I think they're staying 1502 01:08:40.680 --> 01:08:44.119 to themselves. Well, I've never played an extraction shooter, or 1503 01:08:44.319 --> 01:08:46.279 if I have, it was maybe a little bit. This 1504 01:08:46.319 --> 01:08:48.600 is not what necessarily what I'm coming here for. Do 1505 01:08:48.640 --> 01:08:50.399 you think that's going to hold this game back? Or 1506 01:08:50.439 --> 01:08:52.800 do you think the shooting in a game like Marathon 1507 01:08:52.880 --> 01:08:54.760 can be so good that people will just get on 1508 01:08:54.840 --> 01:08:55.239 board with it. 1509 01:08:57.159 --> 01:09:01.880 I don't want to invoke the name, but a lot 1510 01:09:01.920 --> 01:09:05.680 of people are. It's reminding me of Concord. 1511 01:09:05.359 --> 01:09:07.399 All right, but Concord's problems. 1512 01:09:07.560 --> 01:09:09.039 Yeah, the price was part of it, but it's just 1513 01:09:09.079 --> 01:09:12.399 it was a game that drummed up zero excitement whatsoever. 1514 01:09:12.800 --> 01:09:15.159 You think that would at least this, Yeah, this would 1515 01:09:15.159 --> 01:09:17.199 at least do something with one the Bungee name. I 1516 01:09:17.279 --> 01:09:21.840 think aesthetically the game is interesting, for sure. 1517 01:09:22.319 --> 01:09:25.880 I like whatever they're going for. Uh, it just feels 1518 01:09:25.920 --> 01:09:30.079 like X games vomit, which is good is positive. 1519 01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:32.680 Right, and it's all very like computer techie if that 1520 01:09:32.720 --> 01:09:34.720 makes I don't even know you explain it. But it's 1521 01:09:34.720 --> 01:09:38.039 a very specific kind of sci fi that isn't necessarily 1522 01:09:38.079 --> 01:09:41.079 the go to when you imagine video games in sci fi. 1523 01:09:41.159 --> 01:09:44.399 So I like the way that it looks. I have 1524 01:09:44.560 --> 01:09:47.119 just not really played an extracted shooter. I'm only tried 1525 01:09:47.159 --> 01:09:52.399 out because I know I generally, genuinely generally like the 1526 01:09:52.439 --> 01:09:55.680 way that Bungee games feel shooting wise, they make the 1527 01:09:55.800 --> 01:09:58.760 best shooting even Destiny to When I would play it, 1528 01:09:58.800 --> 01:10:01.359 I just liked going around and any things. It always 1529 01:10:01.840 --> 01:10:04.800 felt good. So I if that's there, you think that 1530 01:10:04.840 --> 01:10:06.680 would account for something. But but what people are just 1531 01:10:06.720 --> 01:10:09.520 so skeptical right now of Bungee. I think a lot 1532 01:10:09.560 --> 01:10:12.399 of people aren't happy with the way they kind of 1533 01:10:12.479 --> 01:10:16.560 let Destiny to fizzle out there. Everyone's really skeptical Sony 1534 01:10:16.600 --> 01:10:19.479 right now and their whole live service plans and paying 1535 01:10:19.520 --> 01:10:22.520 for a game like this. In general, live service games 1536 01:10:23.279 --> 01:10:24.920 all over the place, I have been having a hard 1537 01:10:24.920 --> 01:10:27.520 time catching on that you do get your hell divers 1538 01:10:27.520 --> 01:10:29.920 too happening, and that could happen again. 1539 01:10:29.960 --> 01:10:31.800 You think the Bungee name would help Stough, but maybe 1540 01:10:31.800 --> 01:10:33.520 that name doesn't mean as much as I think it 1541 01:10:33.560 --> 01:10:34.239 does anymore. 1542 01:10:34.319 --> 01:10:38.119 I don't know. Yeah, I I'm curious, like, is there 1543 01:10:39.000 --> 01:10:42.880 still a big audience for something like Hunt Showdown? Is 1544 01:10:42.920 --> 01:10:44.720 that still doing big numbers? 1545 01:10:45.079 --> 01:10:47.840 Uh? You know on Steam it's it's on the top 1546 01:10:47.880 --> 01:10:49.800 one hundred, but it's in the bottom fifty. Is when 1547 01:10:49.840 --> 01:10:51.520 I was looking at this the other day and then 1548 01:10:51.840 --> 01:10:54.119 trying to find some other extractor shooters. I think Tarkoff 1549 01:10:54.199 --> 01:10:56.000 might be much bigger than that. And I think Tarkoff 1550 01:10:56.039 --> 01:10:58.640 is its own has its own launcher. I'm not sure 1551 01:10:58.800 --> 01:11:00.560 about that, but it was not in the top. I 1552 01:11:00.560 --> 01:11:02.239 think it's pretty popular still. 1553 01:11:02.119 --> 01:11:02.359 So. 1554 01:11:03.800 --> 01:11:06.119 Yeah, I think this genre as a whole, though it 1555 01:11:06.159 --> 01:11:08.560 is like definitely had false starts with trying to reach 1556 01:11:08.600 --> 01:11:13.479 the mainstream. Warzone had an extraction shooter in it right 1557 01:11:13.520 --> 01:11:15.560 for a little bit. I never touched that. I know 1558 01:11:15.600 --> 01:11:18.000 some people did try it. Maybe it wasn't very good, 1559 01:11:19.399 --> 01:11:21.000 but I thought some people did like it. But it 1560 01:11:21.119 --> 01:11:25.279 just they're not doing it anymore. Whatever, And it's like, Okay, 1561 01:11:25.359 --> 01:11:29.600 so is extraction shooter shooter is that genre do for 1562 01:11:29.760 --> 01:11:33.159 its Fortnite where something will come over and like introduce 1563 01:11:33.199 --> 01:11:34.880 it to the mainstream and everyone will be like, oh, 1564 01:11:34.960 --> 01:11:36.800 now this makes sense to me, and it's fun and 1565 01:11:36.840 --> 01:11:40.279 it's it's accessible. Maybe, but I don't think there's any 1566 01:11:40.279 --> 01:11:43.479 reason to assume that's like a guarantee. I know, there's 1567 01:11:43.520 --> 01:11:45.760 no reason to assume that the mass audiences be like, 1568 01:11:46.199 --> 01:11:48.720 oh yeah, I want to like do this compound interest 1569 01:11:48.760 --> 01:11:51.920 game where I go in one round, I win, and 1570 01:11:51.960 --> 01:11:54.560 that makes me more efficient and better in the next round, 1571 01:11:54.560 --> 01:11:56.399 and I just that just keeps building on top of it. 1572 01:11:56.520 --> 01:11:59.159 That seems like a very hardcore thing as opposed to Fortnite, 1573 01:11:59.159 --> 01:12:01.720 where it's like just be the last person standing, like 1574 01:12:01.760 --> 01:12:04.039 the easiest concept in the world to understand. So I 1575 01:12:04.079 --> 01:12:06.880 don't know if they match one to one and that again, 1576 01:12:06.960 --> 01:12:09.119 that's not to say, bunch, you can't overcome all of that, 1577 01:12:09.199 --> 01:12:13.399 because I think what we learned from Destiny is making 1578 01:12:13.520 --> 01:12:16.960 a live service, you know, sort of get together and 1579 01:12:17.079 --> 01:12:20.520 do some runs with your buddy's game. Like a lot 1580 01:12:20.560 --> 01:12:23.079 of people tried to make a Destiny of their own, 1581 01:12:23.159 --> 01:12:25.319 and Destiny worked because it had the best shooting like 1582 01:12:25.359 --> 01:12:27.399 it just was the best feeling game. So that's why 1583 01:12:27.439 --> 01:12:29.960 it really actually worked in the end, even after Bungee 1584 01:12:30.039 --> 01:12:32.319 screwed up a million other things about the game, they 1585 01:12:32.359 --> 01:12:34.000 could always hang their hat on that. So maybe the 1586 01:12:34.039 --> 01:12:38.680 same thing happens with Marathon. We'll see. Nintendo has been 1587 01:12:38.800 --> 01:12:41.600 warned to expect one hundred and forty five percent tariffs 1588 01:12:41.600 --> 01:12:45.439 on Nintendo switch To. A major supplier has warned Nintendo 1589 01:12:45.479 --> 01:12:48.439 and Apple that video game consoles could face that one 1590 01:12:48.479 --> 01:12:52.359 hundred and forty five percent tariff on Chinese goods entering 1591 01:12:52.399 --> 01:12:55.000 the United States. The tariff has led to concerns that 1592 01:12:55.359 --> 01:12:58.000 Nintendo may increase the price of the switch To, which 1593 01:12:58.079 --> 01:13:01.800 was previously announced at four hundred fifty dollars. Most switch 1594 01:13:01.880 --> 01:13:05.880 To consoles are actually made in China, only a small 1595 01:13:05.920 --> 01:13:08.520 proportion are made in Vietnam. Now all of those are 1596 01:13:08.560 --> 01:13:10.960 being shipped to the United States right now from Vietnam, 1597 01:13:11.279 --> 01:13:13.439 but it doesn't sound like it'll be nearly enough to 1598 01:13:13.479 --> 01:13:16.359 meet demand. And you know they were always going to struggle, 1599 01:13:16.399 --> 01:13:18.680 but this seems like way further away from even that. 1600 01:13:20.680 --> 01:13:23.159 And you know this is I should like speak once 1601 01:13:23.199 --> 01:13:25.640 again to lie to. We're going to get manufacturing back 1602 01:13:25.640 --> 01:13:28.039 in the United States. They decided to go to Vietnam 1603 01:13:28.079 --> 01:13:30.479 back in twenty nineteen, like, hey, we're going to start 1604 01:13:30.479 --> 01:13:33.800 shipping or make manufacturing switches in that country as well, 1605 01:13:34.039 --> 01:13:38.000 so we could be diversified. It's five six years later 1606 01:13:38.319 --> 01:13:40.600 and they still only have a small percentage of their 1607 01:13:40.640 --> 01:13:45.119 switch to is being manufactured in Vietnam. And there were 1608 01:13:45.439 --> 01:13:48.520 exemptions to the tariffs. That was the good news is, hey, 1609 01:13:48.560 --> 01:13:51.039 if you want a smartphone, we understand that's expensive and 1610 01:13:51.039 --> 01:13:53.840 people don't want to pay three thousand dollars for a smartphone, 1611 01:13:53.840 --> 01:13:55.279 which is like some of the numbers that were being 1612 01:13:55.319 --> 01:13:57.439 thrown around, like that's how much they would have to 1613 01:13:57.479 --> 01:14:01.279 cost with these tariffs. And they got an exemption, and 1614 01:14:01.359 --> 01:14:05.000 a lot of other electronics did. Consoles explicitly have not 1615 01:14:05.119 --> 01:14:07.520 been exempted. So they are going to have to pay 1616 01:14:07.520 --> 01:14:09.159 this one hundred and forty five percent tarif if they 1617 01:14:09.159 --> 01:14:12.000 come from China, it'll still be ten percent if it's 1618 01:14:12.039 --> 01:14:15.119 from Vietnam, which is still not great. That's actually still 1619 01:14:15.199 --> 01:14:18.560 quite a big hit to Nintendo's bottom line and could 1620 01:14:18.640 --> 01:14:20.880 cause them to raise the price. But we are as 1621 01:14:21.039 --> 01:14:23.520 far away as ever from like a situation where these 1622 01:14:23.560 --> 01:14:26.680 companies feel like they can understand what the tax situation 1623 01:14:26.760 --> 01:14:29.680 is going to be for importing stuff into the United States. 1624 01:14:29.399 --> 01:14:31.359 Right And I think this is why we haven't heard, Hey, 1625 01:14:31.359 --> 01:14:35.079 when are pre orders coming back for the switch to 1626 01:14:35.119 --> 01:14:36.000 in North America. 1627 01:14:36.600 --> 01:14:38.119 I think they're still trying to figure things out. 1628 01:14:38.199 --> 01:14:40.720 I bet they are probably trying to work on that 1629 01:14:40.840 --> 01:14:43.680 exemption thing, Jeff, I bet that they might have people 1630 01:14:43.760 --> 01:14:45.840 talking to the government. 1631 01:14:46.119 --> 01:14:49.560 They definitely do yes, and Trump loves that people are 1632 01:14:49.560 --> 01:14:51.520 coming and kissing his ass. He said that out loud. 1633 01:14:52.479 --> 01:14:56.640 Dude just loves corruption. There is a little update. This 1634 01:14:56.680 --> 01:14:58.760 is from Jordan Miller over if VGC. Someone put this 1635 01:14:58.800 --> 01:15:01.079 in chat a little bit ago. Nintendo Switch to pre 1636 01:15:01.199 --> 01:15:04.920 orders will reportedly start next week in Canada. Nintendo Switch 1637 01:15:04.960 --> 01:15:07.399 two pre orders will reportedly begin next week. According to 1638 01:15:07.439 --> 01:15:09.920 Bill Bill Kuhn, who has a history of posting retail 1639 01:15:10.000 --> 01:15:14.119 listing information ahead of official announcements, Canadian retailers are preparing 1640 01:15:14.159 --> 01:15:17.119 to begin pre orders for Nintendo's next system. Pre Orders 1641 01:15:17.119 --> 01:15:19.920 in Canada for the Nintendo Switch to will reportedly begin 1642 01:15:20.039 --> 01:15:24.039 on April twenty third, So a lot of reportedly. Yes, 1643 01:15:24.199 --> 01:15:28.000 that's they're covering their butt rightfully, so we Bill Billcnon 1644 01:15:28.079 --> 01:15:31.359 usually knows what they're talking about, and that stuff's got 1645 01:15:31.359 --> 01:15:32.960 to pick up again here pretty soon. And there are 1646 01:15:32.960 --> 01:15:35.279 no tariffs on ship and stuff from China to Canada. 1647 01:15:35.680 --> 01:15:37.880 So maybe they were just like, let's get our pipeline 1648 01:15:38.159 --> 01:15:40.199 set up so none of that stuff accidentally goes through 1649 01:15:40.239 --> 01:15:42.279 the United States. It all just goes directly to Canada. 1650 01:15:42.720 --> 01:15:47.079 But yeah, this is this is you know, small movement, 1651 01:15:47.159 --> 01:15:49.199 and there's no guarantee that they actually follow through with 1652 01:15:49.239 --> 01:15:52.159 this as far as the United States is concerned. Yeah, 1653 01:15:52.359 --> 01:15:54.840 we haven't heard anything because they really don't know what's 1654 01:15:54.840 --> 01:15:57.119 going to happen next. It still is a complete mess. 1655 01:15:57.399 --> 01:15:58.600 Fly to Minnesota. 1656 01:15:58.760 --> 01:16:00.760 Let's do an all day stream where we drive to 1657 01:16:00.800 --> 01:16:03.039 Canada and we try to get switched to stream. 1658 01:16:03.159 --> 01:16:04.920 Yeah, the bootlegging, I'm a. 1659 01:16:05.560 --> 01:16:07.079 Full stream from a car. 1660 01:16:07.600 --> 01:16:12.479 Yeah, let's do a race where y'all drive to Canada. 1661 01:16:13.159 --> 01:16:15.560 Nikki and I will meet up in Socol and we'll 1662 01:16:15.600 --> 01:16:19.119 drive Oh, Mexico. Okay. I think that's a great idea. 1663 01:16:19.159 --> 01:16:20.000 Smuggler's grub. 1664 01:16:22.079 --> 01:16:22.800 I love this. 1665 01:16:23.199 --> 01:16:23.880 I love this. 1666 01:16:26.039 --> 01:16:29.039 I don't love the situation we're in because every new 1667 01:16:29.520 --> 01:16:32.960 tariff update I see it's either he's walking it back 1668 01:16:33.199 --> 01:16:35.840 or it's not here, or it's gone up by one 1669 01:16:35.880 --> 01:16:38.199 hundred more percent the fun. 1670 01:16:38.279 --> 01:16:39.920 Right, I mean that's the thing, Like, what is he 1671 01:16:39.960 --> 01:16:41.439 going to say tomorrow? Right? 1672 01:16:42.279 --> 01:16:45.800 And do you do you think Nintendo has the power 1673 01:16:46.359 --> 01:16:50.359 to put Trump in Nintendo jail? Uh? 1674 01:16:50.680 --> 01:16:52.520 Yeah, he's probably not going to get a switch to 1675 01:16:52.520 --> 01:17:00.920 it early, I would say, probably not code, yeah exactly, Yeah, 1676 01:17:01.079 --> 01:17:02.800 just check his email for sure, and then you know 1677 01:17:02.920 --> 01:17:08.159 late that day though, not early. Yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, 1678 01:17:08.720 --> 01:17:10.640 he's gonna say something stupid next. It's gonna it's not 1679 01:17:10.680 --> 01:17:14.000 gonna make anything better. That's why these companies really are 1680 01:17:14.039 --> 01:17:17.000 just kind of in this holding pattern because they kind 1681 01:17:17.000 --> 01:17:19.960 of can't even plan because if they start planning for okay, 1682 01:17:20.079 --> 01:17:22.119 let's say that these are all the hurdles, let's figure 1683 01:17:22.119 --> 01:17:25.279 out ways around these hurdles, the hurdles could just shift 1684 01:17:25.359 --> 01:17:27.640 or get bigger, and then all of the planning they're 1685 01:17:27.680 --> 01:17:31.079 doing to solve the problem as it currently exists is 1686 01:17:31.199 --> 01:17:34.960 worthless and obsolete. And that's you know what is really 1687 01:17:35.000 --> 01:17:38.520 handcuffing them. It's the uncertainty if they just knew, okay, 1688 01:17:38.560 --> 01:17:40.079 for sure, it's gonna be one hundred and forty five 1689 01:17:40.119 --> 01:17:43.840 percent tariffs. That's terrible. It's going to cost price. It's 1690 01:17:43.840 --> 01:17:46.439 going to cause their costs to go up, likely our 1691 01:17:46.479 --> 01:17:48.920 prices to go up. But they could at least begin 1692 01:17:49.079 --> 01:17:51.680 to come up with a plan to minimize the pain 1693 01:17:51.760 --> 01:17:54.399 as much as possible. But they can't even begin that 1694 01:17:54.560 --> 01:17:56.760 part of the planning because of how things are changing 1695 01:17:56.760 --> 01:18:02.119 so frequently. Star Wars Zero Company, or a z comm 1696 01:18:02.159 --> 01:18:03.680 as I think we're calling it, is the name for 1697 01:18:03.760 --> 01:18:07.439 bit Reactor and Respawns new tactics game. Respawn Entertainment and 1698 01:18:07.479 --> 01:18:10.319 bit Reactor have announced Star Wars Zero Company, a single 1699 01:18:10.319 --> 01:18:14.640 player turn based tactics games game coming to PC, PS five, 1700 01:18:14.840 --> 01:18:17.840 Xbox Series X and S. The first look will be 1701 01:18:17.880 --> 01:18:20.359 at Star Wars celebration on April ninth. I think that 1702 01:18:20.439 --> 01:18:24.119 this happened, but like they didn't show much publicly this is. 1703 01:18:24.319 --> 01:18:27.680 It will have key art suggesting diverse playable classes like 1704 01:18:27.760 --> 01:18:31.319 Jedi Droids and Mandalorians and a bunch more. They showed 1705 01:18:31.319 --> 01:18:33.399 off the key art and it looks pretty pretty cool, 1706 01:18:33.439 --> 01:18:36.239 and then you know people are saying this is from 1707 01:18:36.279 --> 01:18:39.239 the Xcom team. I think we've known that former Xcom 1708 01:18:39.239 --> 01:18:42.319 developers partner with Respawn and they start a bit Reactor 1709 01:18:42.439 --> 01:18:44.479 to specifically make games like this, So it's going to 1710 01:18:44.520 --> 01:18:48.399 play a lot like Xcom but was Star Wars. Yeah, 1711 01:18:48.439 --> 01:18:50.359 I'm on board. I like Xcom a whole bunch, and I. 1712 01:18:50.359 --> 01:18:53.359 Like Star Wars. Oh yes, let me just have a 1713 01:18:53.399 --> 01:18:59.680 team of like droids battling rub I just want ewoks, 1714 01:19:00.079 --> 01:19:01.079 a whole squad of you watch. 1715 01:19:01.159 --> 01:19:03.920 Yeah, I want I want every possibility there for sure 1716 01:19:04.239 --> 01:19:05.600 that we're all looking to overwatch. 1717 01:19:05.760 --> 01:19:07.520 Yeah, the phantom mentic guys that roll. 1718 01:19:07.399 --> 01:19:11.079 In, Yeah, yeah, I like do you like those? 1719 01:19:11.560 --> 01:19:11.920 Uh? 1720 01:19:12.279 --> 01:19:12.479 Yeah? 1721 01:19:12.560 --> 01:19:14.319 I bet this game is going to be really good. 1722 01:19:14.399 --> 01:19:17.119 I wonder how it'll do because you know, Marvel Midnight 1723 01:19:17.239 --> 01:19:20.760 Suns seems like it really underperformed the best Cards people hate. Yeah, 1724 01:19:20.960 --> 01:19:23.399 that's Cards. But then there's also just the Star Wars factor. 1725 01:19:23.479 --> 01:19:26.600 Star Wars not exactly at a high point. Hot Lost 1726 01:19:26.720 --> 01:19:27.079 came out. 1727 01:19:27.119 --> 01:19:29.439 I know, the reviews were mildly middling. The people did 1728 01:19:29.439 --> 01:19:31.920 not seem to care about that one at all. 1729 01:19:32.039 --> 01:19:34.000 It's just it's like Star Wars has never really recovered 1730 01:19:34.000 --> 01:19:37.439 from that episode nine moment. It had no yeah, we're 1731 01:19:38.880 --> 01:19:42.159 us and ors fans, We're doing all right. Eight more 1732 01:19:42.239 --> 01:19:44.439 days or something like that. But that's not going to 1733 01:19:44.520 --> 01:19:46.760 move the you know, outside of that. Hey, by the way, 1734 01:19:47.079 --> 01:19:49.319 x Com two is like ninety percent off on Steam. 1735 01:19:49.319 --> 01:19:52.560 I never actually played it, so all that hike, I know, 1736 01:19:52.840 --> 01:19:53.159 I know. 1737 01:19:53.319 --> 01:19:55.760 So one of my one of my favorite features on 1738 01:19:55.800 --> 01:19:59.680 this website. Good old exquisite core. Uh. And then just 1739 01:20:00.319 --> 01:20:04.199 the pure demonstration in front of everyone of Reiker luck 1740 01:20:06.079 --> 01:20:07.880 only the odds. Yeah, exactly. 1741 01:20:08.199 --> 01:20:09.880 Ah, that's one thing from Star Wars too. 1742 01:20:10.239 --> 01:20:11.760 Oh yeah, look at that. 1743 01:20:12.399 --> 01:20:15.479 Assassa's Creed Shadows is now twenty twenty five's second biggest 1744 01:20:15.479 --> 01:20:18.159 game of the year so far. Assas's Creed Shadows has 1745 01:20:18.159 --> 01:20:20.560 been a commercial success for ubi Soft, becoming the best 1746 01:20:20.560 --> 01:20:22.479 selling video game in the US for its first three 1747 01:20:22.520 --> 01:20:25.960 weeks and reaching one million players across all platforms in 1748 01:20:26.000 --> 01:20:29.119 a single day. Basically. Mattis cautel Over at Sirkana noted 1749 01:20:29.159 --> 01:20:30.560 that it had been the best selling game in the 1750 01:20:30.640 --> 01:20:33.600 US for the last three weeks. That's pretty good. Again. 1751 01:20:33.640 --> 01:20:35.640 I don't think anyone's expecting this to be the answer 1752 01:20:35.720 --> 01:20:38.159 to all of Ubisoft's problems, but the game is doing 1753 01:20:38.359 --> 01:20:43.000 what anyone should have realistically expected in the best case scenario, right, Yeah, 1754 01:20:43.079 --> 01:20:43.560 so good. 1755 01:20:43.560 --> 01:20:46.439 That doesn't necessarily mean that's what Ubisoft is hoping for, right, 1756 01:20:46.479 --> 01:20:48.359 so I want to still want to hear from them 1757 01:20:48.399 --> 01:20:50.720 in their next earnings that they're happy about or if 1758 01:20:50.760 --> 01:20:52.640 it's still like, oh, not quite as much as we 1759 01:20:52.680 --> 01:20:56.199 are hoping. We're still doing shitty. 1760 01:20:56.479 --> 01:20:59.159 But you know, people seem happy with this, Jeff, seems 1761 01:20:59.159 --> 01:21:02.319 like it's doing wow. Hopefully it's enough. Yep, it's a 1762 01:21:02.319 --> 01:21:04.560 good game that's selling well. I think, what else? What 1763 01:21:04.600 --> 01:21:08.159 more can you ask for? And then Mafia the Old 1764 01:21:08.199 --> 01:21:10.800 Country release date revealed on Steam. This seems to have 1765 01:21:10.840 --> 01:21:13.359 been an accidental league. Mafia the Old Country will be 1766 01:21:13.399 --> 01:21:16.520 released on August eighth, twenty twenty five, according to a 1767 01:21:16.560 --> 01:21:19.399 Steam blog post. This is not an official confirmation. That 1768 01:21:19.479 --> 01:21:22.119 date could of course change. The game was initially teased 1769 01:21:22.119 --> 01:21:24.520 in August at Game's Calm Opening Night Live and received 1770 01:21:24.520 --> 01:21:26.520 a full trailer in December twenty twenty four at the 1771 01:21:26.520 --> 01:21:29.640 Game Awards. Now this is a Take two game along 1772 01:21:29.640 --> 01:21:32.279 with Borderlands four, I feel like there is there is 1773 01:21:32.279 --> 01:21:35.840 there one other thing. And then GTA six, Gta six, 1774 01:21:35.880 --> 01:21:37.760 if that's still coming out this year in your Take two, 1775 01:21:38.119 --> 01:21:40.119 all your other games have to come out before that? Right? 1776 01:21:41.199 --> 01:21:44.960 Oh oh yeah, yeah, so yeah, yeah, I think it, Like, 1777 01:21:45.039 --> 01:21:47.119 especially like a Mafia game. I feel like that's got 1778 01:21:47.119 --> 01:21:49.920 to come out a few months before GTA six. 1779 01:21:50.000 --> 01:21:51.319 Yeah, there's gotta be some space there. 1780 01:21:51.319 --> 01:21:54.199 They're you know, not similar games really, but the same 1781 01:21:54.439 --> 01:21:56.520 general genre, open world crime stuff. 1782 01:21:56.600 --> 01:21:58.000 Yeah. 1783 01:21:58.399 --> 01:22:02.119 Does uh like what's yours's latest feeling on the release 1784 01:22:02.199 --> 01:22:06.359 date for GTA six, Mike, I'm feeling pretty confident it's 1785 01:22:06.359 --> 01:22:08.920 gonna come out this year now, just the way things 1786 01:22:08.920 --> 01:22:12.119 are going, And I counterpicked it in Fantasy Critics, so 1787 01:22:12.159 --> 01:22:14.079 I don't love saying that, but it definitely feels that way. 1788 01:22:14.760 --> 01:22:16.399 Do you think my trod Prime's going out this year? 1789 01:22:16.880 --> 01:22:17.079 Yes? 1790 01:22:20.880 --> 01:22:24.800 Yeah, I know it's like weird, how like little we 1791 01:22:24.840 --> 01:22:27.640 still have seed of GTA six, but that parts, Yeah, 1792 01:22:27.720 --> 01:22:28.720 that's just what they're work. 1793 01:22:28.720 --> 01:22:31.399 They're gonna do it almost. 1794 01:22:31.640 --> 01:22:34.119 It's weird the idea that it could seem too big 1795 01:22:34.239 --> 01:22:37.319 to not come out and that certain point you can't 1796 01:22:37.359 --> 01:22:40.880 just throw more resources at something. But there's no indication 1797 01:22:41.000 --> 01:22:42.680 yet that that's not gonna happen, so I'm still just 1798 01:22:42.720 --> 01:22:43.600 gonna assume it is. 1799 01:22:45.520 --> 01:22:48.039 All right.

Write in about Annie and 1811 01:23:30.840 --> 01:23:35.000 everything and I'll read it. Special shouts out to everyone. 1812 01:23:35.199 --> 01:23:37.600 Over the last couple of weeks I've been emailing for 1813 01:23:37.640 --> 01:23:39.880 the first time saying you're a longtime listener. Just want 1814 01:23:39.880 --> 01:23:41.720 to chime in and say like, hey, hell, are doing 1815 01:23:41.760 --> 01:23:45.319 good job and you know what, genuine thank you. I 1816 01:23:45.319 --> 01:23:47.399 don't know how to deal with compliments. I try and 1817 01:23:47.439 --> 01:23:49.680 relate them to the crew. They make all of us 1818 01:23:49.720 --> 01:23:52.319 warm and fuzzy on the inside and grub just keep 1819 01:23:52.439 --> 01:23:57.640 staring at the camera with those cold eyes. Uh. First 1820 01:23:57.760 --> 01:24:03.960 email the show is some true from Simon from Saskatchewan. Hello, BombCast, 1821 01:24:04.840 --> 01:24:09.239 most people savored fruit. Sorry, Mike is the humble Scout. 1822 01:24:09.279 --> 01:24:12.279 I swear to God is the humble banana. Here are 1823 01:24:12.319 --> 01:24:15.960 some fact some trivia facts about them. They're technically a 1824 01:24:16.000 --> 01:24:20.079 berry like watermelons and cucumbers. Banana bunches grow upside down 1825 01:24:20.119 --> 01:24:22.720 from the from what most people think. Oh, I didn't 1826 01:24:22.760 --> 01:24:28.880 know that bananas are very slightly radioactive. The potassium isotope 1827 01:24:28.920 --> 01:24:31.960 makes it radioactive. You'd have to at least eat ten 1828 01:24:32.039 --> 01:24:34.760 million in one sitting to die of radiation poisoning. 1829 01:24:35.000 --> 01:24:36.239 Sounds like content. 1830 01:24:38.520 --> 01:24:41.600 Watch Dan die from eating ten million. I think something 1831 01:24:41.600 --> 01:24:43.359 else will kill you before the radiation. 1832 01:24:43.520 --> 01:24:46.800 At that point, well, they're good for you. Brazil Nuts 1833 01:24:46.840 --> 01:24:49.600 are more radioactive. They can set off radiation detectors and 1834 01:24:49.720 --> 01:24:53.520 nuclear power plants. Bananas don't grow on trees, but technically 1835 01:24:53.520 --> 01:24:58.319 grow on herbs. Okay, what I don't know? Banana trees 1836 01:24:58.880 --> 01:25:01.039 are more related to than trees. 1837 01:25:01.560 --> 01:25:02.520 Oh, I like ginger. 1838 01:25:03.239 --> 01:25:07.600 Banana plants will walk about forty centimeters in their lifetime, 1839 01:25:08.119 --> 01:25:12.079 like ads, don't. They don't actually walk obviously it's complicated, 1840 01:25:12.119 --> 01:25:14.960 but the way they get arrested means the plants need 1841 01:25:15.000 --> 01:25:18.880 to stretch out and move over time. This is called walking. 1842 01:25:19.279 --> 01:25:22.199 This means more land is needed to grow bananas, so 1843 01:25:22.319 --> 01:25:26.239 potential deforestation may be required. Thank you all for all 1844 01:25:26.239 --> 01:25:28.439 you do. Make sure to take wellness breaks. 1845 01:25:29.279 --> 01:25:35.560 Simon sasketchewan Ay Simon from Saskatchewan shot out, thank you. Okay, 1846 01:25:36.720 --> 01:25:38.199 what do you guys think that the record is for 1847 01:25:38.239 --> 01:25:39.600 eating bananas in one sitting? 1848 01:25:40.119 --> 01:25:40.399 Three? 1849 01:25:42.560 --> 01:25:45.840 Like forty hundred? Best? The way's eating one hundred bananas 1850 01:25:45.880 --> 01:25:48.800 one hundred and fifty. I mean, like when I look 1851 01:25:48.840 --> 01:25:51.800 it up, people are like saying, like it's like thirty. Yeah, 1852 01:25:51.920 --> 01:25:56.520 maybe that's more than thirty much, Say, Dan, this is 1853 01:25:56.760 --> 01:26:01.880 just so content, Dan, I want to thirty bananas. Also, 1854 01:26:03.279 --> 01:26:05.359 this is a bad joke, but the first comment on 1855 01:26:05.439 --> 01:26:12.840 this is gay. Come on. But anyway, Yeah, I think 1856 01:26:12.880 --> 01:26:15.159 that would be fun to try to break. I feel 1857 01:26:15.159 --> 01:26:17.319 like I could probably also do more than thirty. 1858 01:26:17.399 --> 01:26:19.640 I couldn't do it like speed wise, but I mean 1859 01:26:19.680 --> 01:26:21.239 I would just you know, it'd be a marathon, not 1860 01:26:21.319 --> 01:26:21.800 a sprint. 1861 01:26:23.119 --> 01:26:25.399 Listen, I did the Triple nine challenge last year, and 1862 01:26:25.399 --> 01:26:27.680 I don't think i've been the same since. I think 1863 01:26:27.880 --> 01:26:33.359 my competitive eating days are long long behind me. Bright. Yeah, 1864 01:26:33.359 --> 01:26:36.520 I was gonna say, didn't you eat bananas and drink sprite? Didn't? 1865 01:26:36.560 --> 01:26:39.119 Daniel Dwyer did and we I think we threw up. 1866 01:26:39.399 --> 01:26:42.640 Yeah, you gotta like eat a banana or is it 1867 01:26:42.640 --> 01:26:44.840 two bananas and a new chug like a twenty ounce 1868 01:26:44.840 --> 01:26:47.960 of sprite? And we did that in my backyard, and yeah, 1869 01:26:48.000 --> 01:26:48.840 I think we threw. 1870 01:26:48.760 --> 01:26:52.439 Up, right, Yeah, but okay, I take everything back. 1871 01:26:52.520 --> 01:26:54.600 Hold on, I take everything back. Dan, you and I 1872 01:26:54.680 --> 01:26:56.960 were gonna try and beat the world record for most 1873 01:26:56.960 --> 01:26:58.960 bananas in one sitting. And what are we gonna call it? 1874 01:26:59.039 --> 01:27:05.920 Dan banana bajanza exactly? Yeah, okay, all right, okay, all right. 1875 01:27:06.520 --> 01:27:08.800 I knew as soon as I like began what I 1876 01:27:08.880 --> 01:27:12.039 was saying, it would end here, So go ahead and 1877 01:27:12.079 --> 01:27:14.920 lodge your complaints. I can't dissuade him, so don't worry 1878 01:27:14.920 --> 01:27:18.039 about that. But like, it's just like you with the. 1879 01:27:17.359 --> 01:27:19.800 Bathtub field of mac and cheese. It's like you just 1880 01:27:19.840 --> 01:27:22.520 think about like, well, I like mac and cheese. You 1881 01:27:22.520 --> 01:27:26.960 don't think about like spatial volume, and your stomach is 1882 01:27:27.000 --> 01:27:29.720 only so big and there's only so many places in 1883 01:27:29.760 --> 01:27:31.119 your body for food to go. 1884 01:27:31.239 --> 01:27:34.319 But here's the thing, Like a banana is the mushiest food. 1885 01:27:34.680 --> 01:27:38.880 Like if there was a finite like jar, you could like, okay, yeah, 1886 01:27:39.119 --> 01:27:40.880 four bananas might fit in that jar, but if you 1887 01:27:40.960 --> 01:27:42.640 mush it all down, you could probably get a hundred 1888 01:27:42.680 --> 01:27:42.960 in there. 1889 01:27:43.399 --> 01:27:46.800 Now. It is like mostly fiber, which, like your body 1890 01:27:46.880 --> 01:27:48.439 likes to take its time digesting. 1891 01:27:48.680 --> 01:27:51.600 Yeah, fiber, does it make you super poop or poop less? 1892 01:27:52.079 --> 01:27:54.399 It helps you. It's very good for helping your your 1893 01:27:54.520 --> 01:27:57.520 your tummy get good at pooping. Yeah, so's h crown. 1894 01:27:57.680 --> 01:27:59.800 It's not great for me. Yeah, it's bad for my 1895 01:28:00.720 --> 01:28:02.399 m just like all for it. 1896 01:28:03.760 --> 01:28:08.119 I feel like the radiation, like bananas being slightly radioactive. 1897 01:28:08.399 --> 01:28:12.560 I think I would be more comfortable eating radioactive stuff 1898 01:28:12.800 --> 01:28:14.279 than things with bacteria. 1899 01:28:14.439 --> 01:28:18.239 Like it's weird. It's basically a faulting. 1900 01:28:18.560 --> 01:28:21.600 I would eat a pluton before a spoonful of ambas. 1901 01:28:21.960 --> 01:28:24.520 Yeah, you eat baccia all the time. So whatever, everything's 1902 01:28:24.520 --> 01:28:25.079 got bacteria. 1903 01:28:25.079 --> 01:28:27.479 And even like McDonald's food, which takes forever to decompose 1904 01:28:27.520 --> 01:28:30.800 because it doesn't have bacteria naturally in it, it's got 1905 01:28:30.840 --> 01:28:32.920 some I don't what you so, why do you stick 1906 01:28:32.960 --> 01:28:33.159 your head? 1907 01:28:33.199 --> 01:28:34.520 Why are you're just like oh, I can't think about 1908 01:28:34.640 --> 01:28:36.600 Just think about it and accept it and be happier 1909 01:28:36.600 --> 01:28:37.640 and eat more food. 1910 01:28:38.279 --> 01:28:40.319 I eat plenty of food. I just don't eat bacteria. 1911 01:28:40.720 --> 01:28:43.239 You do all right, we can't. 1912 01:28:43.520 --> 01:28:48.439 We can't keep doing. Travis and Fargo wrote in a 1913 01:28:48.439 --> 01:28:51.920 bunch of questions. This is the Travis question of the 1914 01:28:51.920 --> 01:28:55.439 week that I picked. Do you have any odd specific 1915 01:28:55.640 --> 01:28:59.560 tertiary hopes for the switch to aka the swatooch. I 1916 01:28:59.560 --> 01:29:02.800 hope the shop works for your hands emoji Travison Fargo. 1917 01:29:03.920 --> 01:29:06.359 I mean like street pass equivalent, like. 1918 01:29:06.720 --> 01:29:09.600 Oh I love that. Yeah, some sort of weird mevers 1919 01:29:09.640 --> 01:29:10.800 type thing would be great. 1920 01:29:10.640 --> 01:29:13.039 Something like when when we all of us have our 1921 01:29:13.079 --> 01:29:15.319 switch to s in the same room at a PAX 1922 01:29:15.439 --> 01:29:19.920 or Summer game fest, something cool happens and beyond just like, 1923 01:29:19.920 --> 01:29:21.279 oh now we can all play Mario Kart in the 1924 01:29:21.279 --> 01:29:23.880 same room. Sure that's a table stakes. I want just 1925 01:29:23.920 --> 01:29:26.720 something Nintendo fun weird to happen as well. 1926 01:29:26.840 --> 01:29:30.680 I mean, I really want themes back. I think they're fun. 1927 01:29:30.760 --> 01:29:32.920 Like I there's no reason why my U I can't 1928 01:29:32.920 --> 01:29:36.319 look Metroid. That would just make me so much here. 1929 01:29:36.479 --> 01:29:38.560 And they could even tie it to the fucking platinum 1930 01:29:38.600 --> 01:29:40.800 points or whatever, like you know, because they make those 1931 01:29:40.800 --> 01:29:41.520 easy enough to get. 1932 01:29:41.640 --> 01:29:43.960 Yeah, I'll do that. I'll pay you real money for it. 1933 01:29:44.000 --> 01:29:45.520 I don't whatever, Just give me. 1934 01:29:45.479 --> 01:29:51.479 That Al right. Next email comes from not a Stoner 1935 01:29:52.640 --> 01:29:55.720 and they write in about a Jeff versus Jeff. For 1936 01:29:55.800 --> 01:29:58.399 the purposes of this email, I will just be pronouncing 1937 01:29:58.439 --> 01:30:05.279 the name as gu Off. Sure, Hello, BombCast. There are geoffs, 1938 01:30:05.279 --> 01:30:08.279 and there are jeffs or Geoff's, Jeff's gone wrong or 1939 01:30:08.359 --> 01:30:12.199 Jeff's dumbed down geoffs. If you put a Jeff into 1940 01:30:12.199 --> 01:30:15.399 a Jeff improvement machine, would a maxed out Jeff become 1941 01:30:15.479 --> 01:30:18.520 a geoff? Or did geoffs evolve into Jeff's which is 1942 01:30:18.520 --> 01:30:21.880 better regards not a stoner Jeff is better? 1943 01:30:22.600 --> 01:30:26.920 Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well all the chiefs know this, but 1944 01:30:26.960 --> 01:30:29.239 we don't have to agree, like this is something that's innate. 1945 01:30:29.359 --> 01:30:34.239 We understand this. There is a maximum Jeff. He works well. 1946 01:30:34.359 --> 01:30:36.159 He's a character on the Mega sixty four sketch I 1947 01:30:36.159 --> 01:30:38.880 always always makes me laugh. But yeah, we're all trying 1948 01:30:38.880 --> 01:30:42.560 to achieve maximum Jeff at all times. Geoffs cannot attain 1949 01:30:42.880 --> 01:30:43.760 maximum Jeff. 1950 01:30:44.319 --> 01:30:47.159 Yeah, Jeff Bridges, Jeff Daniels, you don't have geoffs. 1951 01:30:47.680 --> 01:30:52.319 Now there's Jeffrey Draft. He's g EO. But we're okay 1952 01:30:52.399 --> 01:30:54.439 with him, but we don't accept him. 1953 01:30:54.560 --> 01:30:58.680 Yeah. I think of Jeff Keeley as a I just 1954 01:30:58.680 --> 01:31:01.119 think of him as Keeley at this point, he's transcended 1955 01:31:01.159 --> 01:31:03.199 the Jeff yeah label. 1956 01:31:03.920 --> 01:31:07.399 Yeah, he's not held down by it. Sure, yes, transcended 1957 01:31:07.439 --> 01:31:12.760 to strong word you goobers. 1958 01:31:16.199 --> 01:31:19.079 Okay, well then he's not a goober? Then what about that? 1959 01:31:19.399 --> 01:31:22.840 We can all agree? Yeah, absolutely agree? Okay, all right, 1960 01:31:22.920 --> 01:31:23.880 all right, breaking. 1961 01:31:23.640 --> 01:31:26.960 News, breaking news. All right, let's take a look here. 1962 01:31:27.000 --> 01:31:28.600 Actually I didn't read this whole thing, so let me 1963 01:31:28.640 --> 01:31:32.760 see what's going on here, all right. From Bill Belkoon 1964 01:31:33.079 --> 01:31:37.079 on Blue Sky for the USA. Through some US retailers, 1965 01:31:37.119 --> 01:31:39.439 I found conflicting data for pre ordered start date of 1966 01:31:39.560 --> 01:31:43.479 Nintendo switched to hardware for switch to consoles April twenty 1967 01:31:43.479 --> 01:31:46.600 first or April thirtieth, depending on retailer. For accessories like 1968 01:31:46.640 --> 01:31:49.960 switch to pro controller April thirtieth. How many days are 1969 01:31:49.960 --> 01:31:50.680 in April. 1970 01:31:52.359 --> 01:31:56.680 Thirty Yeah, it's not many days before the thing comes out. 1971 01:31:57.920 --> 01:32:00.359 Well yeah, I mean yeah, that's it's so little bit 1972 01:32:00.399 --> 01:32:03.039 over a month. But also, like that April thirtieth date 1973 01:32:03.079 --> 01:32:05.319 feels like a placeholder to me, Like that feels like 1974 01:32:05.359 --> 01:32:07.840 someone's like, let's just go the last day of the month. 1975 01:32:08.119 --> 01:32:12.159 Yeah, But like that Mario Kart, things happening on Thursday, right, 1976 01:32:12.199 --> 01:32:13.680 are we really going to do that? 1977 01:32:13.880 --> 01:32:15.880 And like during a stream be like and you could 1978 01:32:15.880 --> 01:32:20.560 pre order this thing? We don't know. Yeah, I hope 1979 01:32:21.520 --> 01:32:23.840 they might though, right, because it again the uncertainty is 1980 01:32:24.119 --> 01:32:25.680 so bad. But when I said that this wasn't much 1981 01:32:25.720 --> 01:32:28.800 time to the consoles come out, I forgot about me. Yeah, 1982 01:32:28.840 --> 01:32:30.760 I could tell I don't want to call you out, 1983 01:32:31.840 --> 01:32:32.680 so I was letting it go. 1984 01:32:32.840 --> 01:32:35.560 But I could tell what was wanted there may like 1985 01:32:35.600 --> 01:32:37.199 doesn't exist for me because that's just the month I'm 1986 01:32:37.199 --> 01:32:39.840 going to Disney World basically, So that's all that month 1987 01:32:39.960 --> 01:32:40.319 is for me. 1988 01:32:40.880 --> 01:32:44.720 Man, Sorry, I just like thought about going to Disney. 1989 01:32:45.399 --> 01:32:48.079 I'm just happy for you, but I want to go 1990 01:32:48.239 --> 01:32:52.000 so bad.

Hey bomb crew, 2000 01:33:22.239 --> 01:33:25.479 longtime listener, first time emailer. While listening to one of 2001 01:33:25.520 --> 01:33:28.880 the GV shows, I was instantly activated by the mention 2002 01:33:29.039 --> 01:33:32.119 of the log neet in sixty four controllers. I work 2003 01:33:32.199 --> 01:33:36.960 it support for so ni fi solutions, which used to 2004 01:33:37.000 --> 01:33:41.119 be lognet talking about collecting kiosk and promo materials, and 2005 01:33:41.199 --> 01:33:44.239 while in not in in room gaming isn't really a 2006 01:33:44.279 --> 01:33:47.039 thing anymore. Most guests just cast their own apps or 2007 01:33:47.039 --> 01:33:50.520 bring full consoles like PS five's, there's still some weird 2008 01:33:50.600 --> 01:33:53.319 legacy tech lurking around. A few years back, I was 2009 01:33:53.399 --> 01:33:56.039 at our office helping with network stuff and got volunteered 2010 01:33:56.119 --> 01:33:58.000 as a six to one, two hundred and fifty pounds 2011 01:33:58.119 --> 01:34:02.119 midwesterner helped set up Cubic. While digging through cold storage, 2012 01:34:02.159 --> 01:34:05.439 I found a dusty corner full of retro gaming relics, 2013 01:34:06.039 --> 01:34:09.479 third party sny s's, the and N sixty four controllers, 2014 01:34:09.520 --> 01:34:13.319 old E three style posters, swag, other third party accessories. 2015 01:34:13.520 --> 01:34:16.560 It felt like Bastion stumbling into the bookstore the never 2016 01:34:16.680 --> 01:34:20.439 ending story. At one point we had custom Wii consoles 2017 01:34:20.720 --> 01:34:25.479 installed in select Marriott hotels, basically stock Whee's with about 2018 01:34:25.520 --> 01:34:29.720 sixty games, most first mostly first party Nintendo pre loaded. 2019 01:34:31.159 --> 01:34:34.600 They were free to use, but only one worked if 2020 01:34:34.600 --> 01:34:37.760 the room was checked in. The units were mounted in 2021 01:34:37.920 --> 01:34:40.960 huge white lock boxes with beefy fans and PC style 2022 01:34:41.000 --> 01:34:44.000 power supplies to keep them from melting. See attached picks. 2023 01:34:44.039 --> 01:34:45.880 I'll send you all the picks as a thank you 2024 01:34:45.920 --> 01:34:49.439 for helping out. I was gifted one Oh Wow Wow 2025 01:34:50.199 --> 01:34:52.800 steel boxed with a new we mote, Mario Kart, Wi 2026 01:34:53.279 --> 01:34:56.920 wheel and we fit board. I was able to bypass 2027 01:34:57.079 --> 01:34:59.800 the check in requirement with a tech manual, but the 2028 01:35:00.039 --> 01:35:05.640 untile does not save, so guests could play Twilight Princess 2029 01:35:05.680 --> 01:35:09.199 all day, but you turned it off or change games. 2030 01:35:10.479 --> 01:35:11.000 Last game. 2031 01:35:11.239 --> 01:35:14.680 Yeah, it's a quirky piece of history, and while modding it, 2032 01:35:14.680 --> 01:35:17.119 it is tempting. The lock box didn't come with a key, 2033 01:35:17.640 --> 01:35:20.479 so now I just have a chunky, half functional we 2034 01:35:20.720 --> 01:35:24.439 taking up shelf space. But it looks cool. Yeah. Anyway, 2035 01:35:24.560 --> 01:35:27.840 Two questions for y'all, what's the weirdest or most obscure 2036 01:35:27.880 --> 01:35:30.720 gaming curio you've picked up from events or vendors over 2037 01:35:30.760 --> 01:35:35.000 the years. Two? When was when has just existing in 2038 01:35:35.039 --> 01:35:38.399 your physical form paid off? Not just Paul Guy gets 2039 01:35:38.399 --> 01:35:41.079 asked to reach the top shelf, but like someone needs 2040 01:35:41.079 --> 01:35:43.560 a large human to haul cubicles and get rewarded with 2041 01:35:43.840 --> 01:35:47.079 rare hardware. Thanks for all the awesome content. Keep being weird, 2042 01:35:47.159 --> 01:35:50.359 got it? I mean Ryan from South Dakota and that 2043 01:35:50.399 --> 01:35:52.840 sounds sounds so cool. Yeah, that's really cool. 2044 01:35:52.960 --> 01:35:55.359 Yeah, and just having it look cool is most of 2045 01:35:55.399 --> 01:35:57.239 the benefit of that. So yeah, just keep that thing 2046 01:35:57.279 --> 01:35:57.760 as it is. 2047 01:36:01.000 --> 01:36:02.159 I don't have anything. 2048 01:36:02.239 --> 01:36:04.279 Yeah, I mean, like I'm trying to think of like, well, 2049 01:36:04.319 --> 01:36:06.039 there's definitely been times where like being in the right 2050 01:36:06.039 --> 01:36:07.680 place at the right time, I guess, but nothing that 2051 01:36:07.680 --> 01:36:11.880 has popped to mind. Yeah, and I don't think I'm 2052 01:36:11.880 --> 01:36:13.239 a good answer to the other one yet. Yeah, I 2053 01:36:13.239 --> 01:36:15.119 don't know.

Next email fits in since Mike was playing KADAMRII 2099 01:38:15.039 --> 01:38:19.279 Domici over the weekend. Howdy, you all now have a 2100 01:38:19.359 --> 01:38:23.159 Katamari to roll around in a real life location, collect 2101 01:38:23.159 --> 01:38:26.760 everything and grow as large as possible. You start with 2102 01:38:26.800 --> 01:38:30.520 a one foot diameter Cottamari ball and have thirty minutes. 2103 01:38:31.000 --> 01:38:35.039 Where do you go? Considerations. You're immortal and unfazed the risks, 2104 01:38:35.239 --> 01:38:37.960 so whether oxygen, fall, damage, terrain, et cetera don't matter. 2105 01:38:38.319 --> 01:38:40.720 You're basically the prince, so you can just keep rolling 2106 01:38:40.720 --> 01:38:43.239 no matter your physique or what you roll up sharp hot, 2107 01:38:43.239 --> 01:38:46.439 et cetera. Do you in mind your objective to scale 2108 01:38:46.760 --> 01:38:49.920 so it's like Walmart costco are off limits. Feel free 2109 01:38:49.960 --> 01:38:53.439 to use actual levels as an inspiration. There's no winner. 2110 01:38:53.680 --> 01:38:55.720 This is just for fun and a pleasant time. Parentheses 2111 01:38:55.760 --> 01:39:02.119 for you cheers money sh I think Lego likes good. 2112 01:39:02.520 --> 01:39:06.079 I was thinking, like a baseball stadium and you go around, 2113 01:39:06.159 --> 01:39:07.600 you get all of the chairs, just. 2114 01:39:09.560 --> 01:39:11.039 Because if you start at one foot, you're not gonna 2115 01:39:11.039 --> 01:39:13.600 be able to get chairs right away. So baseballs and 2116 01:39:13.600 --> 01:39:17.520 bats and things like that. Soccer stas be pretty good too. 2117 01:39:18.159 --> 01:39:20.840 Yeah, It's like it's like I love the loves where 2118 01:39:20.880 --> 01:39:22.920 the progression feels great. If like starting off with like 2119 01:39:23.000 --> 01:39:26.119 tiny everyday objects, then like there's that moment where some 2120 01:39:26.119 --> 01:39:28.640 of you're getting small animals. Then there's that moment where 2121 01:39:28.680 --> 01:39:30.760 you get people, and that's a big step. Then you're 2122 01:39:30.760 --> 01:39:33.359 getting trees and you're getting buildings like cars. 2123 01:39:33.760 --> 01:39:36.039 Yeah. Yeah, so like theme parks not good. I don't 2124 01:39:36.039 --> 01:39:37.159 want to I like the theme parks. 2125 01:39:37.159 --> 01:39:38.000 I don't want to roll them up. 2126 01:39:38.039 --> 01:39:40.119 I can't put it back together, right. I think the 2127 01:39:40.159 --> 01:39:42.479 basically the spirit of the rules was don't worry. Everyone's 2128 01:39:42.520 --> 01:39:45.239 gonna be fine. Yeah, I don't worry about killing them. 2129 01:39:45.279 --> 01:39:46.920 And I just would go Legoland, get all the small 2130 01:39:46.960 --> 01:39:50.039 Lego's good, the Lego like the bigger stuff they make 2131 01:39:50.039 --> 01:39:51.920 with Legos, and then out to the parking lot and 2132 01:39:51.920 --> 01:39:52.840 start getting the cars. 2133 01:39:53.039 --> 01:39:54.840 I think Jeff one with Legoland.
