Speaker 1: It's the Internet. You're busy. Let's do this. Welcome to
the Gay Mess Decides Podcast. This is the podcast where
we decide everything about the world game so you don't
have to think for yourself. I'm your host, Mike Manatti
and with me is Hey J Manatti. In today's episode,

bit there, yes, yeah, a little bit. Uh god, I've
been busy just uh with people gone. Jeff's on vacation.
A couple of people are missing from from games Beat
this week. So yeah, it's been shorthanded all around. So
been jumping in a bunch of places. That's where I
got my car back finally, that's good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had to put Uncle Mike's set back in
the garage from the minivan.
Speaker 1: Oh that's right. Yes, yes, I did like being a

Speaker 2: You should subscribe to Mike Switch because I'm on it. Sometimes.
Speaker 1: It's true, we played were playing a little Call of
Duty has been it's pretty fun. So AJ, I mean,
how much game awards discourse have you been following?
Speaker 2: Oh? Quite a bit, I I I strangely enjoy the
game awards. I I part of why I enjoy them
is because I am able to accept them for what
they are. Uh So the discourse just becomes very amusing
to me. And this year has been no exception.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. It's like I care about enough that
I think it's fun, but not enough that I generally
get very upset up about too. But I say that
always find a couple of things to get upset about,
for sure. It's like it's usually more about, you know,
the things I think of of snubs. You know, this
time I'm upset that there aren't any metaphor refent Tassio
noms for best performance whatever.
Speaker 2: But then that's right. My personal game of the year
so far isn't anywhere except I think one spot on
the whole list.
Speaker 1: So Dragon Yeah, you really like Dragon Age.
Speaker 2: I really like Dragon Age.
Speaker 1: That later all right, But yeah, it seems like the
big discourse is about the should DLC be g O
T Y. Those are a bunch of letters. Should LC
B game of the Year? Shadow of the ar Tree
is nominated for Game of the Year. I've been hearing
from a lot of folks about this, aj I'm a
little curious about what you think should DLC or expansions
be okay for a Game of the Year.
Speaker 2: I struggled with this myself because again, if like World
of Warcraft war Within was nominated, like I'd be like, yeah, sure,
of course. I haven't played Shout of the Arth Tree,
so I don't know personally how extensive it is. It
feels like it's just like I like it more in
my head. I guess to like Diablo four Vessel of Hatred,
and I mean it's just like, yeah, it just takes
the base game, adds some content, add some weapons, but
it's not like, you know, if it was released as
an expand alone, it wouldn't work right, And the same
could be said of Diablo four, like there's nothing to
expand alone on. But like if war Within was its
own game, like I guess that would work better. I
don't know, it's it's a nuanced thing now I'm not
gonna poop poo anyone's opinion or what they think should
be uh nominated for a Game of the Year. It
just feels to me like, I don't know, it's kind
of a boring choice. I guess if you're trying to
just like recognize an achievement in gaming this year, going
back to that well and be like, well, hell, it
ring got flowers already, let's give it some more. Like really,
we can't think of anything else.
Speaker 1: What happens if it got another DLC in two years?
Speaker 2: Right? I mean, are we gonna keep doing it?
Speaker 1: Part of me doesn' wouldn't necessarily have to make rules, right,
I'm not exactly a oh we have to have a
rule against this thing. I guess I'm a little surprised
that maybe, but maybe not surprised that so many people
nominated it for this tough spot. Now, I could totally
understand people being frustrated, like, well, if I if an
expansion is that good, it should be because I felt
that way about Remakes, right, I had a lot of
people telling me that Remix shouldn't count for Game of
the Year when I went to Residevil four in their
last year, and that was a bit of a discourse
last time was some people be like, how was a
remake in there? And I rolled my eyes extensively at that. So,
you know, a shot of the archery was your favorite
thing you played this year, and I certainly reviewed better
than a lot of other things. I get it to
some degree. I will say that, like getting nominated is
one thing. I think it won.
Speaker 2: I would roll my eyes a lot more. And then again,
it's just what what what did we learn? Palmer? Now?
Speaker 1: What's worse?
Speaker 3: Is that?
Speaker 1: Or a card game? Being discourse has been hilarious. I
don't get I mean, have you played Bolacho? It's an
incredible video game.
Speaker 2: Like I don't know how to help you there, I'm sorry,
you know doesn't have like you know, triple A production
value and motion captured cut scenes and a babble pass.
It's a fantastic video game.
Speaker 1: You gotta be a very specific kind of I don't
know gaming chud to think that something can't be Game
of the Year just because it's I don't even know,
like what they say, just a card game, I don't
know what that means, like like, yeah.
Speaker 2: It's a game, yeah, a video game with.
Speaker 1: That Yeah, So that's wild. That's stupid, now, you know.
I think the other one that's like maybe not not.
I don't know if it's controversial with the word, but
Blackmith wu com is on there and part of me
is just like, oh, that's weird and got nominated. I
don't know if you saw, but the Golden Joystick Awards,
which is completely fan voted, happened today. Black with Lukong
won that right because really game, Yeah, this game has
a lot of fans.
Speaker 2: It's another concuse me.
Speaker 1: Where there's a lot of people and I guess my
question is like, man, I mean, I don't want it
to sound like it's this simple, but huh, how many
of how much of the voting body is from China?
From them?
Speaker 2: That's what I've been confused about the Game Awards because
I know there's like the industry board who nominates and votes,
and then there's the fan voting, But like, a, how's
that weighted? Like, like, I voted for my stuff for
the Game Awards? How much is that that influence kid
versus what you voted for as a journalist.
Speaker 1: Fan voting is separate.
Speaker 3: The fan voting is ten percent of the Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1: Ten percent. Okay, so that's something but interesting.
Speaker 2: Interesting. I don't know how you come up with that math. Again,
I didn't. I didn't play black myth. I paid attention
to it came out. It seemed like everyone it came out.
I was like, hey, this is pretty good, and a
few weeks later everyone was kind of onto the next thing.
Speaker 1: Like, I don't know, but that's not the story with
it in China, where like it is very much I guess.
Speaker 2: I did that. I don't know. Is the Game Awards
big in China, the Joystick Awards big in China?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Golden Joysticks. I don't know how exactly that.
I mean, maybe maybe I'm completely wrong and it has
a lot more fans in you know, other territories. Then
I think maybe I should give it a try so
I can at least understand it a bit. But the
other nominees for Game of the Year sides from those
three controversial ones, they're Astrobot, Final Fantasy, sen Rebirth, and
Metaphor refund tazi yo Aj. Who do you think is
winning it?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go dark Horse here. I think Metaphor takes it.
I think it made a big enough splash that even
though like like it was late in the year and
it's a long game. I think like just the early
impression of it was so strong, and I think thal
Face is going to suffer a little bit from being
something that was earlier in the year and a sequel
that I think Metaphor is going to come out on top,
and I think that is going to take it all right.
Speaker 1: Anything else about the game awards and the nominees that
stood out to you that you would like to talk
about now that you have this opportunity, Well, I do.
Speaker 2: Think the East War categories are a little bizarre to
me still. I mean, again, I'm not plugged into that scene,
but I've literally never heard of any of these people,
even like the content creators. You guys made fun about
how you only knew the vet tuber. I don't even
know the v tuber. I just okay, cool, I voted
for someone I don't even know who. I think I
just picked it random because I.
Speaker 1: Have But considering how like we're blasting through some of
these awards now because we don't have much time, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Maybe we could cut some And that's the other thing too,
it does kind of blug me a little bit that
these are like genre awards instead of like what's the
word like component awards, because like you have games that
are nominated like four or five categories, and I think
it'd be more interesting if we were recognizing like achievement
and sound design, achievement in graphics, achievement in technology, like
you know when you have like best Action Game, Best
Best Action Venture Game, Best Game Direction Game of the Year,
and like, you know, I could I could make a
case for a one game being qualified in all four
of those categories.
Speaker 1: Like what's the point It is wild that we have
a Best Adaptation and you know it's a awards show
for video games. Do you think that would mean, oh
so something adapted to a video game? Uh no, the.
Speaker 2: Other way around. I can understand. I think it could
be worded more clearly.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's in a video game award show. That's
those aren't video games.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're video game with Jason. The one I struggle
with too, is I think it's a good category to have,
but like when I'm confronted with voting for the games
for accessibility, I'm like, listen, I didn't interface with this
part of these games, Like I didn't have to use
it so I don't. My opinion is very valid situation.
Speaker 1: I do think he reaches out to people who know
something about that.
Speaker 4: I mean that, yeah, yeah, the accessibility one especially, they
have like a comedy of people that is just especial
for that, for that stuff, anything else using before we
move on here.
Speaker 2: I'm excited to watch the show. I always enjoy it. Again,
I understand that it's basically a Christmas commercial. That's why
it is in December, not like February or March, like
a lot of people think it should be. But you know,
watch some awards, watch some trailers, hang out with your buddies,
have a good time.
Speaker 3: That's all all right, HJA.
Speaker 1: Speaking of DLCAS, seventy Births won't have Integrade style. DLC
square Enix focuses on making Part three is from Rebecca
Valentine at ign. In an interview with The Daily Star,
Hamagucci gently denied fans hope of an intermediary intermediary excuse
me chapter between rebirth in the next Game OFFA seven
remake receives such a chapter with intermission, which included a
new story featuring UFI. We definitely do hear the desire
from fans. The voice says out there that one that
kind of thing. He said, I understand it completely, but
I think from my perspective, what the fans really want
to see the most is not necessarily DLC. They want
to see the third part of the series as quickly
as possible. You know, John, I'm almost surprised we still
get some of these big DLC drops like that at all, anymore,
considering how expensive and how long it takes to make
these games. You know, we're having this discussion about expansions,
and you know we're gonna keep seeing that for things
like MMOs and like your Diablo. I think there's a
lot of video games where we're not really gonna see
a lot of these expansion style drops, even just some
of this big DALC stuff. And I remember how much
DLC Spider Man one got compared to Spider Man two.
It's just it makes so much more sense, I think,
to move on to the next video game now.
Speaker 2: Right, You either move on or even go the expand
alone route, because a lot of people are anticipating, like
a Spider Man to expand alone with Venom a second,
which I think makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 1: Beat beat, beat, beat, beep, beep, Jeff Grubb is in
our chat right now reporting that he is currently pooping
at Black Spire Outposts this very moment.
Speaker 2: Oh that's a cool bathroom.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, Jeff, Jeff. Jeff, like, did you
like did you like Muppet Vision? Jeff?
Speaker 2: You can hear us.
Speaker 1: I wonder if you like them up vision?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Whoa, Okay, the last one always thinks that privacy folks,
if you could do the impossible and pivot back to
whatever you're saying, I'd like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, expand the loans are thing. I had a point
I was going to I would imagine based on this
that maybe the attached rate for the intermission DLC wasn't
that great to justify doing it again? And uh, you
know why the next big thing.
Speaker 1: Because I think, gosh, that came out, but I think
it also just like came if you bought the p
S five version of that game, right something like that. Yeah,
so I think maybe that helped a little bit there too,
you know. And what would it be this time? Uh,
maybe they have a chapter where you play as Vincent
that takes place before the games introduced him. That would
have been cool. I would have, you know, I would
have certainly have liked it, but there is a part
of me it's like, hey, if that's gonna take like
a year off of you know, you, just make the
next game. Yeah, just make the next game. Let's wrap
it up. Yeah, let's get to it. Let's just make
that next game. But yeah, I just I think we're
gonna see less and less of these kinds of things
going forward. Yep, And all right then, and Star Wars Outlaw,
star Wars star Wars Outlaws, star Lord Outward. Star Wars
out Laws rolls out more changes than fixes from Rachel
Kase that games beat. The most significate change to the
game is removal for stealth, meaning players will automatically feel
objectives if they're spotted by enemies. Enemy AI has also
been beefed up and players will be more clearly alerted
a characters have spotted them on Sneaking Enemies also have
weak points to reward strategic gameplay, and k can now
carry pick up weapons at two in Weapons and More Situations.
Developer Massive Entertainment is also be tuning the facial animations
along with more graphical upgrades. Is a pretty big patch
for Star Wars Outlaws. First off, j how much Outlaws
did you put You're a pretty big Star Wars fan.
Speaker 2: I put a handful of hours into it, and then
something came out that distracted me from it. I liked
what I played. I think the world building in the
game is great, but the stealth was the most frustrating
component for me. I hate you're cited your you fail
missions like that.
Speaker 1: And you know what's I saw someone else make this point.
You know what kind of games don't do your sited
and you fail missions? Stealth games like actual stealth games, Yeah,
don't do that. When you're caught, then you start have
to figure it out from there, right.
Speaker 2: So I think this is a very positive change. Just
WI encourage me play because there there are some situations
where there isn't the for stealth, and I like that feeling.
It's it's uncharted, right, your stealth as much as you
can until you're spotted, and then shit hits the fan
and you have to deal with it, and you know
your character is capable of a fight, so let's get
into a fight. So I'm very excited to go back
to it and play with these updates because I think
it will make it a better game. I mean, does
it feel like this is how it should have been,
you know, all along.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, this game definitely had a case of
we can't delay it anymore, and so they had to
release it as it was, and maybe it could have
used more time in the oven, maybe some of this
stuff would Would it have been identified as problems if
they didn't release it and get that feedback?
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean you do play test like I can't
believe this, this didn't come up as a pain point.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that they have put this much more work
in the game. I'm also you know, a little surprised.
I don't know if it's gonna lead into that many
new sales.
Speaker 2: Right, well, don't forget it did release on Steam today
with this update, which I would expectful juice the numbers
a little bit because people don't like the Upisoft app
at all.
Speaker 4: Right, right, right, yeah, no, I absolutely How many months
did it?
Speaker 3: This came out in August?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, a few months? Three months?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 3: Why? Why did they do this to the to the
game is they can.
Speaker 2: Make more money in theory if they're on your own app.
They don't want to give Steam the money, but I
think the the offset is worth it.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, this is so stupid.
Speaker 4: Don't release it, release it everywhere all ones. What are
you doing youself? You're killing me.
Speaker 1: I I'm kind of excited to finally dive in. I
never played the final release, but every time I played
this game in previews and some extensive ones, I played
hours of the game. I liked it. I could see
maybe some of the criticisms. I'm kind of glad that
I have held off so long. Maybe this will be
a good Christmas breakin game, we play admiring my Christmas
tree in the living room, things like that.
Speaker 4: I think I like it because he has the big
vibes of like the team park, you know, he has
that kind of spirit.
Speaker 3: Pretty yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it seems very well themed, exactly said.
Speaker 2: The little things in the game are cool. Like I
had to quickly anecdote here. I was breaking into an
enemy stronghold to steal something, and I found a data
pad that mentioned how in the they're not called horses
whatever the thing are. Yeah, but there's like a horse
race and the guy said like, hey, I got the
inside scoop. The smallest horse running in the third races
is gonna win something like that, And then I was
walking by like later, like an hour later, and I
just happened to go by where you can bet on
these horses, and I go up to it and like
third race is about to start, and I could see
the stats for the horses, like oh yeah, so I
bet on the horse that had the smallest weight and
uh it won. I was like, cool, I just you know,
cheated and want some money and no one's none the wiser,
Like just like little things like that are cool. Day.
Speaker 1: Thing happened to me when I ap previate and I
talked about on my preview, which you clearly didn't read.
Speaker 2: I probably didn't forget.
Speaker 1: That's all right, I forgive you. I mean, you will
not become one of the best brothers in gaming.
Speaker 2: We're not going to make them out right more now
yeah alas.
Speaker 1: Ah, yeah, I'm excited to jump in there try it
some more. Why don't we take a small break though
when we come back, AJ, you can read the Super Jets?
Speaker 2: Sounds good? All right?
Speaker 1: All right, AJ almost called you, Jeff, We're back. Would
you please read some Super Jets?
Speaker 2: All right? First off, we have Simon from sas sketch
you on. He says, is that GameCube Mickey Game, Blight
Club Bat. What do you think is the worst Disney game?
Just saying to be fun. You see Dan dressed as
Mickey which, uh, which one is that? The Magic Mirror?
Speaker 1: It's like it's a baby game?
Speaker 2: Is the thing? Probably boring?
Speaker 1: Right, I've looked at it into it before because I
thought about, oh, let's make Dan play a bad Disney game.
I mean, look, there's a lot of mid mediocre, little
low effort Disney game shirt very many. I don't know
there's any Blake Klubby ones. Right, there's a lot of
five out of tens. I don't know how many three
or two out of ten's there are among Disney video games.
Speaker 2: And the only way I could think of that would
work would be like god, like going back like Mickey
Mouse Caapays because it's been up two so but it's short,
so that really wouldn't work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I mean then I don't know, like
the Fantasia game that they recalled, right, we haven't done
sixteen big games on blike Club yet prop for a
reason because yeah, they're more just like short and difficult
when they're bad than anything else. Like we're gonna watch
somebody play through Doctor Jekyll mister Hyde like, come on, Oh,
don't worry, Dan, we got you there. It's a chat
right now, how about that? Uh? But yeah, I thought
about it. If people have ideas, let me know. But again,
as I thought about, now, it's probably not that Mickey
Mouse game. Again, I think that's just a very simple game.
I remember the time. But it was kind of disappointing because
you know, in the sixty bit air we got a
lot of great Mickey Mouse games between Gosh Castle Illusion,
Mickey Mania, Mickey's Ut, Mickey's Magical Quest, and then it
was like there's none for a while, and then a
baby one.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was disappointing. Next all right, Simon from
Saskatchewan has another super chat that says, have you ever
played the old click adventure game Harvester. My friend had
it when it came out. It was known for being
the most violent game ever. It's very data now, but
the FMV scenes are hilarious. This rings a bell. I
don't think I played it, but I think I was
at one point aware of its existence.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you we really liked a point of
click adventure games, but we stuck pretty heavily to the
LucasArts Catalog.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we dabbled with some Sierra, but like we never
played like back in the day, we didn't play anyth
like Gabriel Night. We played some King's Quest and Toorn's
Passage and uh yeah, we were devotees of Lucas Arts
point and click games. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's interesting because like this is on Steam with the
publisher being Night Dive Studios, and I don't know if
it's like a night a full Night Dive kind of remastered.
They just published this very old game.
Speaker 2: Yes, what was that game? Our friend Perry like literally
bought a Steam deck so we could play it. It
was an old RTS.
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I wasn't keeping, but it was.
Speaker 2: It was also a Night Dive published like re release
or whatever.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Yeah, this reminds me of the time I
watched you play some of The Eleventh Hour, the sequel
to Seventh Guest, and I thought that looked very scary.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Remember eleventh Eleventh Guests had the that really bloody
cut scene in the beginning where the doctor was talking
about that lady who got mangled or something and he
was trying to help her.
Speaker 1: I don't remember that. I must have that stuck with me. Okay, good, good, good,
all right.
Speaker 2: Ali Miracle writes v F five Revo baby steam and
rollback no more racist net code. Also Tekanuba midst the
Yoshi song port of the recent PS four port Low.
I don't know what did they announce something I missed this?
Speaker 1: They announced a Virtual Fighter news Christian that I missed
I did.
Speaker 3: I missed them too, Virtual Fighter five.
Speaker 1: Virtual Fighter five Revo announced it features four K rollback
neck code and more. Oh that's neat gosh is this
the new Virtual Fighter that was rumored? Because I mean, look,
I like Virtual Fighter five. It has been rereleased a
couple of times, and hey, releasing with rollback neck code
is good. I hope we are still also getting a
Virtual Fighter six at some point.
Speaker 2: I'll check this out.
Speaker 1: I remember playing Virtual Fighter five when it came out
and liking a lot and thinking, man, this is the
most complicated fighting game I've ever played.
Speaker 2: Virtue Fighter like modern Virtu Fighters, something I always want
to like because I have such nostalgia for the series,
But I'm real bit all bad at it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, it's coming to Steam too, Okay, see, Okay,
I'll definitely check that out. I remember this game had
a luch or character and to try to play his hand. Surprise,
he was especially complicated.
Speaker 2: What in the way Big Jimbo Ryan apparentheses Blato Game
of the Year says Game of the Year, I am
O is Billato or metaphor? I avoided Final Fantasy seven?
Uh what's the R stand for? Again?
Speaker 1: Come on, Christian?
Speaker 2: Everything away from me?
Speaker 1: God, Damn, that was gonna be so much fun. I'm
mad at you.
Speaker 2: I haven't done right here. I was a second away anyway,
he says. I avoided Final Fantasy seven Rebirth like the
plague after reading all the weird story decisions. Why change
it while all the padding not paying that seventy bucks
I bought it for three dollars today sales.
Speaker 1: I think people. Look, there are a lot of criticisms
about FOP Base seven Rebirth, and I think I think
most of them are not very good.
Speaker 2: As all you can get it. I haven't played it yet, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you have to beat remake.
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of well, I'm gonna remaking at this point.
I may as well wait for the PC version. But okay,
so I think the last thing I didn't remake, which
I do intend to go back to and finish. I
did the Train Graveyard, So how close am I? Like,
give me a percentage.
Speaker 1: Train Graveyard and remake halfway? Yeah, I know that like
a little bit past halfway. You're not like a little
bit right at the end or something. Oh yeah, okay, yeah,
but that's there. You're very deep into it. Yeah, so
you know, that's that's fine.
Speaker 2: It was not a long hiatus from the game, and
when I picked it back up, I was I left
off on the hell House Hell House fight. That was like,
what are these controls again? Oh no, I forget this
house is shooting you with missiles. Help you.
Speaker 1: How many j RPGs are you in the middle of
right now?
Speaker 2: Oh? Quite a few, quite a few.
Speaker 1: You never beat them. But I was like, hey, I
started this one. It's great, and you're like, I'm gonna
beat this one. You're you're you're you're very deep into
Dragon Quest eleven right now.
Speaker 2: I committed to d Q eleven and then I am gonna,
I think, go to Metaphor next before I go to
d Q three HD two D. That's the plan, because uh,
Metaphors on sale on the Xbox Store, which is play anywhere,
So it's on PC, and I have ten dollars in
like my bing rewards, so I could get it for
like forty bucks. I'm probably gonna just reap it up.
Where did it's not three bucks?
Speaker 1: Where did the super chatter get the rub for three?
Speaker 2: I assume jimb o' ryan has some connections still in
the industry.
Speaker 1: It sounds like a G two a discount or something
like that, which, look, I'm not gonna.
Speaker 2: Judge, right. I do hope though, this comes to PC
sooner than later, because it would be nice to, you know,
be able to wait and get there instead of you know,
I don't have a p S five pro so I
want the frame rates and resolution. Next.
Speaker 1: I had to you, said I talk not before you
read the next super chet I gotta teach you a
thing or two about pacing.
Speaker 2: Yes, s thank you, G. G. O. Huey Flow is
a new Lincoln member. Welcome, Thank you Simon from saskatchu On.
Because again, A j are you as bad with not
knowing music as Mike? No, I'm not great, but I'm
certainly better Mike. Okay, I know who the Wu Tang
plan is.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say to be clear what they mean is
like rap, which you're You're almost as bad as I am.
Speaker 2: You had some Eminem on my first m P three player.
Speaker 1: Wow, very cool of you.
Speaker 2: I like the real slim Shady like everybody did back.
Speaker 1: I also heard the real slim Shyet I know Eminem,
that's I don't know if that's helping.
Speaker 3: Yeah, think five other rap artists.
Speaker 2: Uh, DJ Khalid and uh, he's just he's a d J.
I don't know. It's not even rap.
Speaker 1: That was universal as we happen to be walking.
Speaker 2: By him on the stage going yeah, J yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't think that was rap. So well you all
right you tried and failed. So the answer to that
question was no.
Speaker 2: Again, I'm a little little better, just a little uh
Geo Huey Flow says in the super chat brothers or
brothers we are we are brothers, brother I'll be finally
do that I could ever think of when I see
it is do you ever see the Tom Hanks on
SNL and Black Jeopardy? Yeah's the way he says that.
Well right back at you, my brother. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was like a redneck and I was actually
doing pretty good because those only topics that they had
in common.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had the Maga hat on. It's possibly my
favorite SNL skitch just for how perfect it is.
Speaker 1: Was it as good as when Chris Farley was on

Speaker 2: Quakey sir pee pe Coo quaky sup Peeni coo quaky pe.

Speaker 2: Yeah that was cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a very good system. I loved it.
Speaker 2: The DS yes, all Righty the entire Wolf writes in
I've been playing Unicorn Overlord for forty hours and never
realized I changed to the hardest difficulty at one point
once you all's dumbest gaming moment.
Speaker 1: Oh man, that sounds pretty funny. Y gosh, I'm trying
to think if I didn't one, you know, I'm thinking
about other people's like Dean reviewing Mass Effect or West
or two or one of them without realizing he had
a skill tree or upgrades or whatever it was.
Speaker 2: That's anything that that I mean. Recently, I had a
funny moment where I put a black op six on
my Roger ally and I didn't realize you have to
like specifically go into the settings and choose your input method.
I guess that's how they match make. So it was
set for mouse. So I like start a match and
I start running forward and that's working, and I go
to look and nothing's happening, and I realized, oh, I
just can't control anything. So I had to I had
to take on that one. Yeah it happens.
Speaker 1: Well, there you go again.
Speaker 2: You were talking, I have to lubricate.
Speaker 1: I really like making this a figure is here about that?
I'm gonna really criticize your sip taking time water.
Speaker 2: Well, we all know how you feel about water.
Speaker 1: We see the sip. I just thank perfectly tired killed it.
Speaker 2: Actually did I have to watch you on the delayed
YouTube because your camera's not on? All right, that's what Jerry, Right,
What are we supposed to do when all this overstocked
oreo coke zero is finally gone? Regular coke zero? Just
ate the same. You're just gonna have to like take
a bunch of oreos and put them in a blender
and juice them, and then, uh, put that oreo juice
in your coke zero.
Speaker 1: Just crumple up the oreos and then run your coke
through it in a coffee strainer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, like a brew or something. But then you
got carbon.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's the problem. Oh gosh, god, it's gonna suck.
We're gonna Lisa on this moment. Five years from now
and say I missed the world when it's still had
magic in it. I hope this one comes back right
Like they've done a lot of these things and they
suck or whatever. Oh did you know that h bomber
guy doesn't have credibility anymore? What that's so disappointing? Well,
apparently he did a Patreon video about it and said
he did not like it. He's done, he's done. My son,
he had a he had a good he had a
good run. But why is it a Donkey Kong day? Randomly?
What had There's something happened with Donkey Kong that I
missed too because Dean Park parks the chat saying hap
a Virtual Fighter day and we missed that already. We
had to catch up Donkey Kong Donkey kong Land on NSL.
They gave us Donkey kong Land before Donkey Kong sixty four,
Donkey kong Land, Donkey kong Land. Do we have Donkey
Kong ninety four on there yet? They gave us Donkey
kong Land before Donkey Kong ninety four?
Speaker 2: What it said?
Speaker 3: Rough day for Mike Nobody.
Speaker 1: What's Donkey kong Land when you have Donkey Kong Country.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, what's what's the point of playing this? It's
just the worst version bespoke.
Speaker 1: It is like a bit better than just being some
like downgraded port. It's right, it's there's something there.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 1: But afore Donkey Kong ninety four ooh, and I go
to guess this is the only game they announced, right,
this is the only NFL game. It's just one anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Great, cool, They're great. You know what this means too,
is that we had to get Donkey Kong Land too
and Donkey Kong three. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Great. I'll tell you what that. I did have a hankering.
I fired up some Donkey Kong Country Too the other day. Man,
that game slaps. I didn't appreciate it back in the
day because I was mad that Donkey Kong wasn't in it,
kind of like that was Jeff hang Up too. Yeah,
Like like as a kid out of hand, I was like, oh,
fuck this game. But as I've gone back to it
as an adult, very good video game.
Speaker 1: Brad Lynch says this is the first game Boy game
added since June. If that's true, that's a seely upsetting.
They have so many more game boy games to go,
what the hell are they doing over there?
Speaker 3: Who are you?
Speaker 1: Some ROMs?
Speaker 2: You as right? Pisses me off because like, ultimately I
have all these ROMs anytime I want, but there is
something like you've said about playing them on a switch.
So I'm caught in this like, oh, like I want
to play even like you know Metroid Prime too with
Prime Hack, but like what if they release the remaster?
Like can we just put stuff out Nintendo?
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for God, that's what I've been waiting
for much a print touse like I want to I'm
going to play through that gamecause I never beat it
and I want to finish that and three before four
comes out, and I'm going I want to do it,
but I keep like hoping that we just get that
on switch. But but who knows?
Speaker 2: Who knows? All right, A J one one more super
chat before we move on from l Grugg. He says, Well,
the switch to have a new pro controller and what
will be different on it? Let me some Mike and
Alex Jones Minati game messiness. Now listen here. That is
not what that stands for, and now you don't deserve
to know what it stands for don't ever do that again,
Armor Junior. Oh you son of a bitch. There you go,
I got you my secrets.
Speaker 1: They're gonna make one. I mean they're gonna make the
old ones compatible, but they'll make one that's slightly different.
Speaker 2: I mean it would be like more pro like with
back paddles and stuff, almost some more. You'll have some elites,
but more like a like an eight bit do or something.
Speaker 1: I wonderful, actually get triggers instead of just buttons for
the the uh you know, shorder buttons up here, although
apparently a lot of people like that, they aren't.
Speaker 2: If you do that, you have to have it on
the New joy Con. Then games have to support it.
I don't know if you know.
Speaker 1: That could be it could be on the New joy Con.
But then it is a thing like well, if it's important,
then some you can't. Maybe you can't use old controllers
on it.
Speaker 2: And I don't know that. I don't think they do that.
But now I could see them doing some kind of
at least upgrade to the pro sew if anything, just
to get you to buy another one for seventy bucks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So that's ever supertests for now. Thank you.
Speaker 2: Buddy.
Speaker 1: If you have any more super chests, you can still
send them in and we will get to them during
the show. We're gonna take another quick break here so
I can get set up for the Mount Rushmore of
Video Game Brothers. Right, all right, AJ, we're back. We're
going to do a Mount Rushmore or Mount Rushmore a
video Game Brothers seems appropriate given we are both here.
I think this could be some fun. But I am
curious to know who do you want to throw up here?
Speaker 2: I mean, we have to start with the obvious and
say the Mario Brothers. Right, let's just get that out
of the way.
Speaker 1: It seems like a bad pick. Okay, Yeah, anything will
like to say about the Mario brothers.
Speaker 2: AJ. They're the Mario Brothers, you know. I mean, it's
in the title of the game. They are the quintessential
video game brothers. In my opinion, George Washington's if you will.
Speaker 1: Are you more of a Mario or Luigi guy?
Speaker 2: Probably more Mario. I think I was Aligian the as
a caid like, oh he jumps higher, that's better. But
you know, there's something to be said for having control
as if.
Speaker 1: You had any interesting brothership.
Speaker 2: I would have had more if it had reviewed a
little better. But between again, wanting to finish EQ eleven
then get to metaphor, like, when am I going to
get to that? Someday we'll see.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw up Solid and Liquid Snake. I'm deliberately
leaving Solidus out. Yes, look, I come around with him
a little bit, but I don't think he's nearly as
iconic as Solid and Liquid together. Gosh, yeah, I even
know how much I like including Solidus as part of
the leg and fonse thing.
Speaker 2: But what I.
Speaker 1: Guess, brother, Yeah, so Liquid is great. I would love
more Liquid sneak content. I s also like fan art
of a like you know, a fantasy or you know,
made up game of Liquid during the Gulf War, right,
and how interesting that could be. We've got a little
bit of Liquid Snake and Mugar Solid five and then
they just cut the part where that storyline resolved in
the end of the game, which is one of the
main one of the reason why I have a hard
time really love I love Mugger. SOLIDVI is one reason
why I have hard time thinking it's one of the
best games ever, as it probably should be, so ill
looking at her great all right, a j who else.
Speaker 2: Uh, I got one that I think is it's it's
obvious when you say it out loud, man, but you
can think of it. I'm gonna go with Edgar and
Saban from Foulal Fantasy six.
Speaker 1: Hey, oh I like that a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought you would.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I was trying to think of some j
RPG brothers and there's probably more than I'm forgetting about
Edgar and Saban rule though, they have a good backstory
with the coin flip deciding who's gonna be king and
who's gonna get to just leave because not neither of
them want to be king. He sounds bad in their rights.
So yeah, both good party members in that game. I
love Edgar because he just has those tools, especially early on,
are just like it's basically powerful spells that don't cost
any MP.
Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, he's a very good early character. And their
theme rules and yeah I like them a lot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good stuff. Here's innervity source here, your daughter
will like this. I'm gonna go of Sands and Papyrus
from Undertail the Skeleton Brothers.
Speaker 2: Yes, Olivia is obsessed with Undertail.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and it's a good game and these are
fun characters. It's funny because like Sans, I think seems
that for a lot of people, because he seems kind
of like it conspicuous at first, and he ends up
being a much more important character, and in fact, the
hardest boss fight in the entire game is against him
and when you unlock it. But Pyrus is just a
big goofball, so that's fun too. So yeah, I like
these two quite a bit anymore from you a j uh.
Speaker 2: The other one that kind of felt obvious to me
is The Brothers and Brothers, a tale of two sons.
The brothers they have names, remember probably.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, they don't talk, but still
it's it's nice, it works. The whole game is about them,
get it?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, one more and then we'll go to the community.
Speaker 1: One more I'm going to do is uh Dante and
God why my Blake and his name? V uhr Virgil,
thank you Virgil from Double May Cry. I'm not I'm
not as big a my cry fanas some people, but
this one seems relatively obvious. They have a fun feud
and you know they're going back in and forth. I've
been wanting to play that will make cry Three again
for a little bit. I think that would be fun.
But yeah, why don't we Why don't we go over
to the community now and see what they have to
say with this?
Speaker 2: Good you missed the first one here, Mike. I don't
know how, but uh oh dang Mega Man and proto
Man submitted by Nolan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty that's wrong one a pretty good there.
I'm going to Yeah, I'm going to add Mega Man
and proto Man. Granted they have the thought net versions
of them, which is fine, but I like the ots myself. Yeah,
Mega Man and Protoma of course, God, I love I
thought proto Man was just the coolest when I was
a kid.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, how fun was it? Like? Pause the game
at the right time? So is whistle theme kept going?
Speaker 1: That was the best? That was the best?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Geekly flow here with their stante and virtual from No
Ma Cry five.
Speaker 2: So that's good. Am I doing this or are you doing this?
I'm doing it?
Speaker 1: How would they see it? If you do it?
Speaker 2: Well? I could read them. I don't know. Go ahead,
I got it, It'll be easy. I know you're right.
Speaker 1: We've done this before, Tashi has Mario Luigi, but specially
the live action versions of them.
Speaker 2: That's yours from set to set.
Speaker 1: Don't worry, j I didn't do the thing that I
hate when people do to me when I start singing
song and they try to sing along even though the
reality is a discord to make that impossible. Uh, Fozzy
Wig has Chunky Kong and Dinky Kitty Kong. I didn't
realize the swore brothers. That's deep. You know, people hate
Kitty Kong. I never had a problem with Kitty Kong's fine.
I like Kitty Kong fine. Chucky Kong's fine too.
Speaker 2: Why not?
Speaker 1: There's Jamie h one two two four with Sans and Pyrus.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 1: You know you get it with their names.
Speaker 2: Aj Yeah, they're they're fonts. That's right, got it?
Speaker 1: Your genius did Tom Tommy pencils with brothers Brothers Jim
Jim Jim with the nerd and his Chad brother from
Pokemont Sword and Shield.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like how Sean says up here at the
top to make things easier for the host only images.
I'm like, fuck, who are these doing again?
Speaker 1: I remember the game at least, so yeah, that was
the thing.
Speaker 2: Though, the older brother, he's the one that Ash defeated
to become the best Pokemon. Shah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like the champion after the Elite four in that. Uh,
he like supports you in his nice because we can't
have actual, mean, interesting rivals anymore. Screaming Madden has liquid snakes.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 1: Jeans.
Speaker 2: This is not how jeans work. But whatever.
Speaker 1: Also he didn't but like what he's blonde, always be clothing.
Has tom Nook's nephews. Was it Timmy and Tommy? Right? Yeah,
Timmy and Tommy. Maybe I forget Yeah, no, I think
that's right. You're the one who can see chat right now.
You tell me if they disagree, But I believe that's correct. Yea, Mmy,
Actually you know what be.
Speaker 2: On here.
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna write Billy and Jimmy to be clear,
It's gonna be Bimmy Jimmy Chaos Buck Rouge just has
wind wicker link. Oh he is a brother, yeah, but
they're not brothers, right right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not doing siblings. We're doing brothers.
Speaker 1: We're not doing best Mount rushmore of brother as in
like somebody like brothers, as in somebody who is a brother.
I want pairs. Darn it, my heart back for not
clarifying art it is in one week. It's one week
still the only one where like link has a family.
Speaker 2: His uncle dies.
Speaker 1: Immediate family, let's say that, right. Like other ones he's
like got like yeah, more distant relatives are like somebody
who took him in, But like this one is just
like here's.
Speaker 3: My sister, which is my grandma?
Speaker 2: So interesting?
Speaker 1: Oh, Artie Bick has Right to Hell retribution. There you go. Yes,
that's right. There was definitely brothers and Mikey I think,
and he died pretty pretty violently. Randa Bear has h
Inja Turtles.
Speaker 2: Now, this one's interesting.
Speaker 1: It's kind of a no Goku's rule, although TM and
T tied to video games pretty extensively.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't know if I if I could
comfortably put on the Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, it's they're good. They're very good brothers. It's
Mount Rushmore brothers, right, they'd be in there for certain.
Speaker 2: Here's here's another game series that Mike's not a big
fan of.
Speaker 1: Astro five has. This is Sam Drake and Nathan Drake
from Uncharted four. I like Sam fine, I don't know
if I like.
Speaker 2: I like him, Like, yeah, I like I liked it.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's quite Mount Rushmore, ye, but
I like him fine. Uh, I beat it as. These
are some Hades characters, correct, that's right. There is a
family there. Yeah, yeah, I think. Yeah, these people are
all in one family with Sanatos and the sleepy guy
and then the mommy and daddy.
Speaker 2: So there you go.
Speaker 1: But that the rachis stuff. You're like me, you haven't
really gotten deep into Yakaza yet.
Speaker 2: Huh. Yeah. The funny thing is I played the first
one back when I came out, and uh never played
anymore after that.
Speaker 1: Back in the day, we like, we're interesting. Yak is
up because it was supposed to be the spiritual successor
to Uh Shen MoU was in it, right, and now
it's like so much bigger than Shen who never was.
Speaker 2: We know the one guy's name is Nashiki from this, Uh, Jeff,
I don't know who the other one is.
Speaker 1: This is pretty Oh that's the main guy, I believe.
Oh yeah, this is pretty good. Evan has uh this
is uh ilod In and my furi in.
Speaker 2: Oh that's good. That's pretty good. I like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it's from I keep doing that one. This
is from Warcraft. Uh Now, I will say it was
a little disappointing how when they sort of finally finished
Iloden's story and Legion for some reason, my Furian was
it that much a part of it and they never
really kind of had like a big Yeah, those two
a bit strange.
Speaker 2: That's a bit of a word working. There's been some
hints that we might see more ilod In in the
World Soul saga, so maybe we'll get that soon.
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Thank you so much, Tony
the found Fantasy guy. We finally have Bimmy and Jimmy Lee.
Speaker 2: Thank you. I'm gonna throw them on here right now.
And Jimmy, oh yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Like this podcast gives so much more respect and time
to Double Dragon than probably any other game podcast. But
you like Chase Chef and Isaiah's at the time. But
you agree. When we were kids, Double Traveling.
Speaker 3: Was one of the big deal franchises.
Speaker 2: Big deal it was. It was parodied and Blue for
crying out loud when they were talking about the eighties,
that's how big it is.
Speaker 1: It had the cartoon, it had the movie, had a
zillion games.
Speaker 2: It was a big deal.

Speaker 1: Uh, Johnny boy has oh gosh, I guess I vaguely

there's Lucas and his brother for Mother three. I want
to play Mother three sometimes. That's another one to keep

Speaker 1: They are orphans, super Harmit has Guy Restry put in
La Chuck or Chucky from.
Speaker 4: This.
Speaker 1: Do you consider the ending to canon a j.
Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't think they're really brothers. They were just
goofing here. Uh.
Speaker 1: Eva Janis has Rick Bruiser and Nick Bruiser from Super
punch Out.
Speaker 2: I believe there you go.
Speaker 1: Max also has the Bone brothers from Undertail. I'm almost
say Delta Rune not correct, and Lenny Dever has those
Yaka is a boys again.
Speaker 2: Popular fans of them consider that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Adam Juice was a relatively recent one here
with Basilio and Dell from Metaphor. Yeah, there's del pretty good.
Speaker 3: No, it was Delton. It was a different name, but that.
Speaker 1: That was the shorthand. He calls him Dell. I forget his.
Speaker 4: Oh you playing English the college with the full name?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yeah, playing it in Doctor Ryan says one more,
one more blue and one more gray. It's north and south.
Hey your reference?
Speaker 2: Yes, well done, well done.
Speaker 1: Gonna rain our brain here hand that Texas has Waaluigian Warrio.
Speaker 2: Not brothers, actually just two buddies, right, No related, that's
the official response from Nintendo. They are not related.
Speaker 3: See insane? Who did these two my fuckers? Not related
to each other?
Speaker 2: Look at them?
Speaker 3: There's no weather gene.
Speaker 1: Like on tall God the spirit of being alike and
then Christian with Claire and Chris Redfield. You know that's
one brother.
Speaker 3: Wow, sexes much.
Speaker 2: Well, that's that's the definition of brother. I guess.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's right, it's a brother. Also Chris Redfield sucks
uh more importantly? All right, h I added a few
from that list. Is there anything that I didn't add there?
That you went? Those yakuza guys?
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the name is? Now? Nikishi? And who's the
other one?
Speaker 1: It's a that's a ku right.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I mean they got they got the most
of the community, so I.
Speaker 1: Think we have to that that guy's name for me.
Speaker 2: It was in one of the jeffs. I'll be right now,
n I s h k I.
Speaker 1: And I s h K Did I spell kiri?
Speaker 2: You right? Is it? Wait? Hang on? This shift goes
too fast. Oh god, there's an I after the H.
Speaker 1: All right, good enough?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were different, Yes they were.
Speaker 4: They're not active, they're somebody and Charlie saying there if
they're really bro.
Speaker 2: Does that count? Oh? Doctor? Brothers counts? Come on? Oh
my goodness.
Speaker 4: They call each other uniky all the time, which means
like big brother like that.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, well, yeah, that's good.
Speaker 4: That's good, but it's also like a crime thing. We're
like in Anderlin will call it like a higher up aniky.
But they're brothers there for all the sense and purposes
their brothers.
Speaker 1: All right, I gotta do four here Mario for sure.
I think Mario's a lock. I think Saw like with
Snake is a lock.
Speaker 2: Agreed.
Speaker 1: I think those are two pretty popular ones. Part of me, Look,
am I goofing too much to really?
Speaker 2: What bit me?
Speaker 1: And Jimmy Lee in.
Speaker 2: There, we're goofing a little bit. It's fun to say.
Speaker 1: Oh, damn it, Jeff would have let me do.
Speaker 2: Well, damn it, just not here.
Speaker 1: Ship whoof Like, what's your next favorite one?
Speaker 2: I think we gotta put the Yakaza boys up there.
That that was the fan vote. They looked. They look fun.
I like this attack they're doing in the one Jiff
or the ones just like spitting the other while he
holds a knife.
Speaker 1: Man, look at man. Jeff wouldn't have cared what Chat
wanted either.
Speaker 2: I dig the vibes. I dig the vibes.
Speaker 1: Alright, that's good. Well, gosh, well, no, I asked you
and you threw it away. You threw away and said
you gave it the chat when I said for your
next one, oh, you.
Speaker 2: Should get to pick now. Well, I think it comes
down to three for me at the end here. Either
we're going to the RPG route with either Edgar and
Saban or Sands and Papyrus, or we're going to Mike
manaughty route and doing Mega Man and Proto Man.
Speaker 1: And given those choices, I think we go the Mike
minaughty route.
Speaker 3: Personally, you know, Mike.
Speaker 2: You go right ahead.
Speaker 3: I love it's weird that he always goes to Mike
minaughty way. I don't.
Speaker 2: I have known all these years. Sometimes it's easier to
just let them have it.
Speaker 1: Mike Manaughty route rules. I love that route very much.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, if this was this is the older
brother mentality, well what did everyone else want? Let's pick that?
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I think it's a pretty good list
if we have as about rushmore of video game brothers,
the Mario Brothers, Sawid in Liquid Snake, Mega Man a
Proto Man, and Kiriyu in the Shiki from Yakuza.
Speaker 2: Not bad, right, Yeah, why don't you go tweet and
skeet that and we'll take a break.
Speaker 1: All right, let me get rid of that. Sounds fantastic, everybody.
We will be right back.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: All right, we're back. We have a few more super
chests to read. Everybody has a little bit time to
get those INDs. They want us to read their questions
or comments. But first, AJ, what have you been playing?
Speaker 2: All right? So, as I allude to earlier, I am
playing Dragon Age the Vailguard, and I am loving it.
This is probably gonna end up being my game of
the year. It is everything I like about video games,
and it is I mean, it got good reviews, don't
get me wrong, but it's it's one of those games
where I'm like, how is this not like universally praised
and adored? What what is going on that I'm missing here?
Because I can't find any major faults with this game.
Speaker 1: I guess I'm curious about that myself because I haven't
played much of it yet. But you know, you are
definitely maybe one the more, maybe the most like positive
people hear about the game. Team you think there is
a reason why you're maybe into it more than average.
Speaker 2: It's a few things. I mean, first of all, it
looks stunningly gorgeous. I'm able to crank all the settings
on my PC and and and you know, turn on
the ray tracing everything. So it looks fantastic, very good
looking game. Yeah. I love the cast of companions. There's
only seven of them, so it's one of the smaller
casts they've done, but because of that, they're super well
fleshed out there. Their voice actors are fantastic. I'm in
a portion of the game right now where it's basically
stopping you and saying, hey, listen, go do companion quests.
Like that is the main quest to do companion quests.
They're all really interesting. The characters have cool backstories, the
relationships are forming with Rook your your character are really
well done, so I'm in joining that component of the game.
I think the combat is super fun. I've been playing
a warrior focusing on like the kind of necrotic skills,
so I have like some life leash and stuff, which
is fun. It's very I mean, you played the previous
ye Understands, but it's based a lot around some abilities
will set a condition, other abilities will detonate that condition,
which will just cause extra damage and an explosion to
go off. So you kind of want to build your
party and your skill tree around creating these combos, but
you don't have to completely rely on them. You can
still use other skills because they have like some more
general stuff in there as well. But I like the
way the combat kind of evolves as you play the game.
You could respect freely, which is nice because there's so
many choices for your character you don't understand what they
do until you've used them. So I like having that flexibility.
But even like I believe this is the same for
the other classes, but you have kind of two weapon
sets you can switch between. So I have a sword
and board and then a two hander. So I started
with the sword and shield just because I was learning
the ropes. I needed some better defense because you can
just block straight up with that. As I got more
comfortable with the game and kind of got my defense stats,
my life leach up. I switched to the two hander,
where you have to like perfect parry if you want
to do any blocking at all, but you do more
damage as a results. So like, I've you know, been
leaning into that after I found like a really good hammer,
I've been using. Yeah, its again just just it's funny
because I love the first game origins, I've devoured it,
put one hundred out plus hours into it two, I
never finished it. The switch to action didn't quite grock
with me. Even Inquisition. The worst thing about Inquisition was
the open world because the open world just was it
felt like wasted space. I had three fall starts in
that game, never never finished it. I think it's to
this game's strength that it's not an open world game.
It's not quite like the structured missions like a Mass
Effect too. There is some openness to it, but then
like when you hit like a main quest, it'll very
much be like, Okay, you're in this keep, it's under attack,
get from A to B, fight stuff along the way,
have cool interactions with characters, and that's awesome. Like that's
all I need. It's so good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to spend more time with it. Once
we get to the holiday break here. This would be
a good excuse for me to be in the living
room with the Christmas tree. I think i've you know,
I've always liked what I have played of it. I'm
kind of interested to see it expand a bit. Combat's
pretty simple in the beginning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if I could, if I could soapbox for a moment,
because the two big complaints is always the writing's bad,
which I don't I disagree. I think it's great. But man,
everyone going on and on, oh it's woke bullshit from
bio words. They just ruined it with woke, and I'm like,
what do you what are you talking about? It was
seventeen hours of gameplay before I even got to the
character of the game who is struggling with gender identity.
That took seventeen hours to even reach. So if you
got that far, I think you liked the game well enough.
Nobody's complaining. It's just because, of course, that clip will
get posted on Twitter.
Speaker 3: Context there ANYMOREX.
Speaker 1: You all have one on X, I guess posted on X,
and then you know, just the usual grifters just repost
it and talk about how it's representation of the downfall
of civilization or something.
Speaker 2: Boy, I mean the thing that it kind of scares
me a little bit because, again going back to how
I think this is well written and acted. As you
interact this character who's struggling with this this issue of
identity and and what's expected of them, I think it's
very vulnerable. It's very interesting to have this person confiding
in you and you kind of help guide them through it. Personally,
I don't know any trans individuals, but I've I've had
gay friends, you know, from college and theater and stuff,
and I was there for a lot of them when
they did come out and kind of help them with them.
My roommate, you know, came out to me and it
was you know, a very you know, personal, interesting moment.
But it was good so to see people react so
strongly and so negatively to a virtual person struguggling with
this kind of thing and thinking, wow, like what would
you do if someone in your actual life came to
you with this conversation? Now, Like, in a way, it's
taught me like, wow, this no wonder. People are so
on guard and worried because, you know, in my own
personal bubble, I'm like, well, you know, if one of
my friends told me that their trans, I'd be like, okay, cool,
Like let's change up your pronouns and we're good to go.
It's scary to see how the reaction at large is
really just this resistance to it. I guess it's been
an interesting life lesson I picked up around the discourse
from this game, so interesting. I guess I don't know
really where to go from there, but I think it's
worth kind of polling that out. It's like both the
story and the game and how it's handled and the
meta that kind of came around it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh, yeah, I know it seems shitty and
for a while like to think like, oh, it's just
this quiet group of assholes, you're just being jerks.
Speaker 2: And now I'm like, right, somehow.
Speaker 1: They're winning over the these these assholes. So yeah, yeah,
it's all kind of concerning and worrying, and yeah, I
just don't know what to do about it. But yeah,
the bad faith arguments targeting video games, I mean, it
is weird how so much of this happened with video games, right,
I mean so much of all of this stuff is
an extension of the original gamer Gate, right, that was
a flashpoint for a lot of it. So it's just
absolutely wild.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then the dumb thing too, is like if
it truly bothers you that much but you like the game. Again,
it's all optional content, just I guess ignore it, don't
interface with it.
Speaker 1: But you know that's not an option for them. Yeah,
it's just like they can play more than anything else,
Like this is.
Speaker 2: Your reaction to a virtual person, no wonder like a
guy I couldn't imagine in real life, Like what like
if someone who's struggling with this sees this reaction, of
course they're going to be worried about you know how
this could affect the real life. It sucks.
Speaker 1: Ah a, j oh, I guess my end If you're
okay with me going now in Quest, just be playing
more of that. And Joe has just been finding it
incredibly cozy. It's been very chill game to play and
bet a bit, and like you know metaphor, I was
getting kind of really caught, like playing like three or
four hours a night, so it wasn't great for my sleep.
This was pretty easy, like after an hour or so,
like al right, put it down, go to sleepy sleep.
For sure, it is very good. Like you have that
mode where it points out the objective is a bit
more directly, and that's one of like that's the most
streamlined thing here compared to the original games in all
especially eight bit RPGs.
Speaker 2: Guess how I would play the game.
Speaker 1: Right exactly that, Like you know, it's so much of that.
It's like just wandering around and hope for the best,
or look at a guide or your Nintendo Power or
call the Nintendo hotline, right. I always a lot of
people like back in the day, you did just kind
of wan rens like, no, we they we had things
that they wanted us to buy. Then, to be clear,
a lot of times to fight out how to go.
So yeah, I think that stuff is neat and appreciated
and still just a very, very big fan of the
way this game looks. It is absolutely gorgeous.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I love the two d HD R style. I'm
so glad the producers like bringing Found Fantasy six in
that conversation, because you know, I said this the day
they showed Acuapath Traveler. I think my first reaction was, oh,
let's too found Fantasy six like that because it looks
so fun. I love the style.
Speaker 1: I say, fire here asking chat Mike, what do you
what do you think about folks do on a vowed previous?
He said, unavowed The game's just called a vout, are correct?
Speaker 2: Wait?
Speaker 1: What, I'm like, did I have a did I have
a Bernstein Bears thing? A Mandela Effect plus too, I
haven't seen the previousness. I'm a little frustrated because I
actually had access to that build and just was not
able to touch it because I was so busy this week.
Do what your excuses covering for? Like, you know, four
or five people taking vacations right now. So yeah, Agent,
do we have any more super chats?
Speaker 2: Sure? We could get to a few that have come
in here are first one is going to be from
laser Wolf, who says, uh, I will be traveling after
Thanksgiving for work. What turn based rpg or tactics games
should I load up on? My rog hoog? I mean,
I think you talked about slot Bit on Tuesday and
ten Dogs, but it sounds like dragon Quest three to
HD two D is a good travel RPG because it's
easier to start and stop than something it's more heavy
on story, like Metaphor exactly.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I mean, look, I love Metaphor, and
if you want to go with that, that's great. I
think Metaphor is going to be a game with a
lot of awkward moments where you kind of to stop
in the middle of and dragon Quest not so much
and kind of just what that thing on sleep modeor
hibernate mode whenever you want to and be fine. So
I think dragon Quest three it would be my personal choice.
Speaker 2: Matt Rare Monkey, right, since says Yung and Yang from
is are we talking about street Fighter?
Speaker 3: We are free fuck them?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not as familiar with the street Fighter three roster.
I have to admit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't need to know this. Motherfuckers one Young
is the idiot, the battle one. I hate those two
charaters for very different reasons, but I hate him equally.
Speaker 2: All right, there you go, All right, El Grugg writes
in the weather in this Cleveland Pittsburgh game, though you
want know how sad it is, Mike, this is how
disillusioned I am with the Browns this season. I mean, granted,
we're doing this podcast, but the Browns are playing the
Steelers on Thursday Night football and I couldn't care less.
We're winning eighteen to six. I'm glad I didn't play
Russell on my fantasy team, but that's his team this year.
Mine not so much so I don't even have that
to go back, go Liverpool. You guys know this. Let's
see Brono trigger rights in. Mike, my fellow musical nerd,
are you going to see Wicked this weekend? Yes?
Speaker 1: Because I never got to actually see the stage version.
Would you like to tell them why? Aj Uh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, in college, I was dating this girl and we
got four tickets to go see Wicked, so it made
the most sense to invite Chris and his then girlfriend
now wife on a double date.
Speaker 1: This is not the order of operations.
Speaker 2: I knew.
Speaker 1: You just got tickets and got four of them so
you could do a double date. And like, I guess
Mike's not gonna go because you can't bring a date.
That's all that matter. Apparently I remember along to see
a show with you.
Speaker 2: I don't remember that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 2: Be honest. I mean, I might check out this movie
just to see it, but at the time, my memory
is I do not really care for Wicked that much.
I think it's a little too poppy and sacriine for
my taste. Also, it didn't help that, Okay, going back
to my theater roots, studying and doing musical theater in college,
my roommate and a couple of our fellow Thespians would
they would all congregate in our apartment and just start
singing musical theater soundtracks and Wicked was one that they
sang for like a month, and it was the same
track over and over, and I got really really sick
of it, Like really.
Speaker 1: Was he just a fine gravity over and over that one.
Speaker 2: I don't remember which which one it was, but I
just remember heard my one friend Laura going you and
I was like, oh, stop doing that, it's so annoying.
El Grug wants to know what I named my Dragon
Quest characters.
Speaker 1: Uh, my hero is named Tolkoto, my mage is Grubby,
my warrior is Daisy, and my thief is Penny.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 2: That's the adventuring party what they want? Duck. Yeah, of course,
of course. When I when I when I started my
running file Offence one Pixel Remastered, I did name it
after me and my kids, so that we were adventuring together.
I thought that was very funny.
Speaker 3: Ask you do you Mike know so much.
Speaker 2: I do? I did to say, I always make whatever
an RPG has, like a non specific character name, I
always just make it. Aj. I mean I even until
they stopped giving you the opportunity all my Zelda games.
I was AJ.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But whenever you have a fantasy game, you have
your weird you match the keyboard, and then you try
to like turn it into a name method.
Speaker 2: I've settled on a bank of names I rotate between
now for my fantasy characters.
Speaker 1: What's the one.
Speaker 2: This is my main one. Now, that's my that's my
fourteen character. Deriton is my my orc Shaman and World
of Warcraft. And some of the other ones I have
are Jerg, Piltern, uh Phaedra and uh some other ones.
Speaker 1: Me and you're the same. Where we can't we can't
full on joke characters.
Speaker 2: I can, like, no, I can't bring myself to do it.
Speaker 1: I could do Grubby and Daisy that are like based
it's kind of funny, but those are still real names.
Speaker 2: In a way, like like poopy mcpoop face or something.
Speaker 1: Well. Fire here in chat says that you named his
metaphor protagonist costco guy, and I don't know if I believe,
but just saying I could never.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do for pets for pets and video games,
like in in the Monster Hunter for the Palko, I
just do jokes of other famous people. Then I won't
say on stream because you will get them monetized.
Speaker 2: No, that's something that's something that the way Tim in
Dragon Age, I like how your character's name is Rook,
but that is like a nickname, and you could you
could type in a first name for ships and giggles.
But then you pick your character's backstory, and that actually
defines your last name. Now, no one's I've expected people
to say it more, but no one's like said the
last name out loud. But they do make a lot
of like good references to your your backstory throughout the game.
Speaker 1: I like origin remember point of tracking.
Speaker 2: It was really well done to that rule. It was
a game even if you weren't going to fully replay
the game with the character, it was enough to play
through that origin story for all the different options there.
Speaker 1: George's school, What was your what orgy did you do?
Dragon age one?
Speaker 2: I can't remember.
Speaker 1: You're probably just a human lord. You're probably just a
manner lord person, right?
Speaker 2: Possibly I was? I was? That sounds right for whatever.
Speaker 1: Was impoverished city off? It was fun. Oh, I guess
that's that.
Speaker 2: Then I got I got more stuff, didn't you reading
the rundown? I typed them up and everything.
Speaker 1: Oh, you have more games to talk about.
Speaker 2: Me?
Speaker 1: Before we started doing super chats, then I would.
Speaker 2: I thought you were just going rogue. I don't know
you read I was supposed to.
Speaker 1: I guess you got more time for super chants. Everybody,
if you want to go ahead a talk about more videos.
But to be clear, I did not look at the
rundown to see what games you've been playing.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, we've been. We've been playing that Black Ops
six and uh I have really been enjoying our time
with it. I haven't played a Call of Duty online
since God World War two. I think it was last time.
We were all like, yeah, we're gonna play. And the
only time I've ever played a Black Ops was I
think you guys convinced me to get Black Ops for
the multiplayer only one. So it's been a minute and
there's just enough kind of tweaked and new to the
formula that it's it works. I like being able to
sprint and run in any direction. The mantling, the diving,
the sliding all feels really good. I appreciate that. Like
you know, we've been I've been playing with just like this,
the stock assault rifle, the XM four. So today I
was curious, like what is like the meta? Let me
look at a list, and like the number three is
that that gun? So I'm like, okay, good, Like that's
good to know that I'm just playing with a good gun.
And I'm gonna have to feel like I'm missing out
because I haven't leveled up crazy announts or anything like that.
I love that new what's the actual name of the mode,
the High Value Target one. It has a name, He Kill. Yeah,
that's fun. I just liked like it. It's not quite
like the VIP mode from Team Forces Classic, but it's
just fun. Like you know, when you see that that target,
you're going after him, when you are that target. It's fun.
Speaker 1: It's just enough of a variation on Team Death patch.
Speaker 2: I like it exactly exactly. I haven't touched the campaign yet.
I do want to get to it. I hear it's
very good. I'll carve out some time probably at the
end of the year here to check that out. But again,
it's great that it's on game passing to pay seventy
bucks for it, so that probably helps my enjoyment too.
And yeah, it's just kind of fun to be playing
Call of Duty again. All right, now, somebody here actually
wants to talk about fun. Fantacy fourteen for the first
time in a while. Yeah, seven point one the content
patch recently released for Don Trail. I played through the MSQ,
did the new dungeon and really enjoyed it again. Fum
Fantasy fourteen is my favorite video game. I understand the
criticisms of Don Trail, but I still enjoyed it. I
think it's much better in the second half, which is
why you need to keep playing it. I think this
patch does a good job of distilling some of the
issues people have with Don Trail, and hopefully not the
direction fourteen is necessarily going, because I don't think it's
spoiler because they announced it when they announced the game.
You have the whole Section nine, which is very high
tech area, and so you know part of the expansion
is still taking place there, and it's like there's literally
a sequence this doesn't doin anything, I promise, where you
have a USB key and you're decoding it and it's like,
what are we doing? This is like twenty four Like okay,
it's right.
Speaker 1: I reminds me I had that moment with World of
Warcraft back in Rap of the lich King at a
raid where you're on a motorcycle and a character started
talking to me over a radio, right, kind of like
that's a bit much more. Warcraft's cutting much further than
that since then, Right, Yeah, the worlds have this problem
with escalation, but then.
Speaker 2: There's a section where you're like helping a nomadic tribe
with beasts, and I'm like, this is what I want
to be doing, and it's the best part of the patch.
Like that, that whole question was really really good, So
I hope they're kind of listening and learning and realizing, like,
let's keep the Fantasy and Final Fantasy fourteen like magic
texts as far as I'm willing to go. Section nine
goes a little too far, so we'll see. But again,
the dungeon design in this expansion and this patch dungeon
in particular, is fantastic. The final boss fight in this
dungeon is one of the best ones. It's really cool,
has some fun mechanics that's really got people talking, and
the story is again taking some cool twists and kind
of where we're going with it. So I'm very excited
to see what the future patches holds. Yeah, I still
like Final Fantasy fourteen dontrill. Also, it's worth mentioning we
didn't have this in the news rundown. We probably should have.
That they brought the beta for playing games you own
on Xbox Clouds streaming, so this is not games that
are part of the subscription, but if you own it,
you can access it and file. Fantasy fourteen is one
of those games which is wild because this is the
only place you could stream it. It's not on g
Force now, it's not in PlayStation Plus streaming or anything
like that.
Speaker 1: I didn't bring up that they announced that mobile version
of Found Fantasy fourteen.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that too. We'll touch that a second if
you want. But it's kind of wild. So I have
the Starter edition, I claim different game pass Ultimate, so
I can't do any downtrail content. Like if I try
to teleport to toriol Al, it like just doesn't let me.
But as long as I'm logged out somewhere like like
the Gold Saucer, it's fine. So I fired up first
in the browser, and you know, it just works. Everything's there.
It's great. It even supports mouse and keyboard in the
browser if you want to play it that way. But
then I tried it on my phone and I threw
up a video of this on on x X and
Blue Sky if you want to check it out. But
he actually created this like wild touch screen layout to
like actually have all sixteen of the crossbar actions like
visible on screen. I could see where you know, again,
you're not going to raid or like, you know, do
a trial with it. But if you're just like running
the MSQ or doing some like like side quests or
grinding or finding your your your your flight points or
things like that, Yeah, this is It's a totally serviceable
way to play the game. It's kind of crazy that
they did that. I know how much you can't wait
to stream Fall Fantasy fourteen into your iPhone and play
it when.
Speaker 1: Interest there I can't lie.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you can play Fall Fantasy fourteen Mobile when
that comes out at some point here whatever. That is
so the best I can rock from everything I've I've
kind of digested on it. It is. It's like a
separate version of faul Fanas fourteen. We're starting with the
realm We're born story. I don't know how complete of
an experience that's going to be, but they said there's
no gotcha. It is free to play. There'll be some
kind of monetization, probably battle passes or something. Thinking of
it like Fall Fantasy fifteen Mobile that they did, but
without the chiev characters, just like a condensed version of
the game. That's still the game. You'll you'll have trials.
You know, you'll have classes, you can switch classes. They
make it sound like maybe you're switching on the fly.
I don't think that's the case. Would kind of break
like a trial, but hell, I mean, I'll certainly check
this out if it's If it's fun, it's like a
good excuse to kind of revisit the story of a
realm we're born. That could be fun. I also wonder
if they because they have uh it's cheeky. The trailer
ends with uh memphilia saying the prey return to the
rising sansy ear is convenience and I can't recognize the voice,
but I wonder, like, did they go back and re
record all this dialogue with the new actors, because that's
actually be kind of cool. Thank yeah. Out of nowhere
announcement though completely wild, you.
Speaker 1: Cursed, you completely curse the Browns. By way, I don't
even know how that they managed it in such a
short amount of time. But the Stealers are winning.
Speaker 2: Wait, yeah, what scored points?
Speaker 1: They scored eleven points in like the last two minutes
or something of plate dis I don't know.
Speaker 2: Fucking team, they are so bad credible the ways they
find to astound and disappoint me or just mind boggy. Yeah,
I'm impressed. I'm actually pressed. How you scored eleven points
in a football game. I guess you went for two
and you got kicked a field goal?
Speaker 1: Geez, you like to read? Yeah, is this a day's DeShawn?
Speaker 2: Is that our problem? No, he's gone, he's he's hurt.
He's done for the season. Remember, Oh so his days
are gone? Yeah? Got him?
Speaker 1: All right, I'll read this last super chat please?
Speaker 2: All right? We got one more super chat from George
green Thumbs, who says I've been playing some schmups game lately,
namely an indie game name Blue Revolver and Ikaruga. To
satisfy my frothing demand. Have either of you ever gotten
into schmups? Oh? Yeah, I mean especially growing up, schmups
was a huge genre, So you played your r types
and your nineteen forty two's even and stuff like that.
Ikaruga at the time, you do have to understand, was
a big deal, big deal in the.
Speaker 1: Dream the hardcore gaming crowd.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we we couldn't get enough of it.
Speaker 1: We had on't Yeah, I don't even know if we
ever do we ever have that dream cust versioncause did
they come out.
Speaker 2: In the US. You had an import we played on GameCube.
Speaker 1: I think a lot.
Speaker 2: Oh that's probably the one that we had. And you know,
I do have to I never I've never done it,
but I do have I have an old monitor that
is vertical oriented over here to the side of my
main monitor. I went, yeah, I gotta, I gotta just
do it, right.
Speaker 1: I guess, So why not at this point?
Speaker 2: Yeah, gosh.
Speaker 1: I had a bit of a I mean, I played
schmups here and there. I had a bit of a
shmup phase last year for a little bit, was playing
like Mosha thunder Force for some R type nonsense and
what what have you. I bought Radiant Silver Gun on
Swit and SOL and played that. I need to do
that at some point. Yeah, oh yeah, of course. So
I'll get to there eventually.
Speaker 2: And then the greatest of them all, Mike sill Feed
on the Sega CD.
Speaker 1: You're a big Silfeed fan. I bought some Sophie sequel
to PS two that I haven't played yet.
Speaker 2: That's wild, So you bought that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, a j I'm going to start playing
our outra music so we can get out here. You
wanna you wanna tell people where they can find you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I had my ex account, but I'm
mostly these days on Blue Sky at Age Guy. I thought,
whatever the thing they add on to that, I love it.
I've been posting stuff and people actually interact with it.
It's crazy. It's like two thousand and eight all over again.
You can also follow Nineties Disney on the Socials, where

don't know if he's really going to try to finish.
Speaker 2: That game, but I hope it is Friday.
Speaker 1: I hope we at least see the marriage sequence, but
I don't know. We might not be so lucky. We
might not be so lucky. There's some kind of I
think we're just playing called duty on unprofessional fridays. I forget,
oh nice fun, nothing like that, something like that. Tomorrow's
the season finale, he said.
Speaker 2: I like that. It can always coming series for we.

be interesting when we get over to that. Gosh, that'll
be nice. I'm a sleepy baby, though, I have to
admit that's an amanimousleep baby. I'm gonna sleep good tonight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh be Travin says, super Chat have grub on
your Disney podcast. We're working on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna try to get him to do a
trip report. Part of me's worried with his memory. He's
gonna be like, I don't.
Speaker 2: Remember what I heard. He's a real famous podcaster saying
good night everyone, thank you. Arned.
Speaker 1: People keep as to be like it is Jeff having fun.
I'm like, I don't know, he's not sending me like
reports I get a picture every now and then.
Speaker 2: That's all. Yeah, I'm having Chris. What do you think
he's like like they did do it? Thank you everyone,
good bye.
Speaker 3: It's still pop.
Speaker 2: It was a wildcat. Are you there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's still shooting. All right, break a room.
Speaker 2: What are you wanting? Let me do something, because almost
as soon as we started recording my low battery warnings
started beak on my headsets and switch headsets all right,
because of course it did give me one second.
Speaker 3: You two already crashed twice for me. It's so fun.
Speaker 4: I know, I know what's good chat. I've been playing
that The Stalker too. The color No, it's not color.
Speaker 2: Don't hear me. That's the fun part.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can still hear it was it was a
ghost of Charnobyl?
Speaker 2: Are good?
Speaker 3: I do you like it?
Speaker 4: I'm playing that game. I'm listening to question Si road
Side road Picnic. I think it's the name of that
book that inspired the movie Stalker, that inspired the video.
So I'm doing all at once, pull on Stalker Moon.
It's not real, it's not it's buggy. I haven't I
haven't found any bogs yet, but I heard it's very
buggy for people.
Speaker 2: Hassle with the cheeseburger. This is a.
Speaker 3: That's funny.
Speaker 2: Is that working?
Speaker 3: Tess? Do you hear me? Can you hear me? Just test?
Can you hear me? I'm talking?
Speaker 2: Can you hear me?
Speaker 3: I'm talking? I don't think you can hear you? It's wait.
Oh you can see the eye is going around? Hello.
Can you hear me?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: He cannot.
Speaker 4: Oh he has no mic now and his mic doesn't work.
Now yeah, you must up your mic. You're talking, but
we don't hear you. Check your we go there, we go, here,
we go. Now he can't hear me and can talk?
Must cream?
Speaker 3: That's correct?
Speaker 2: A fire here? I saw you ask earlier if I
played the desk or the starfield DLC Testinyuh, I started it,
I haven't finished it. I like the beginning, and then
it turned into the kind of worst of Bethesda where
it's just walk here and talk to this person. Walk
here and talk to this person. Oh you're the chosen one.
Walk here and talk to this person. Walk here and
talk to this person, like I I go shoot something, please,
so I'll get back to it. Pressing right now.
Speaker 3: They're fixing their narrative skills. You don't understand that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess that's the weird thing about Starfield. It
does some things really well, but the game constantly wants
to lean into the stuff it does the worst, which
I don't get at all at all.
Speaker 4: Like the bottle lipis of video games, which in the
room is just talking to somebody should do a bottle
episode video game. I don't know what that means, but
sounds like a cool concept. I was selling people that, and.
Speaker 2: I just realized I'm wearing my Starfield headset now too.
Speaker 3: So look at that.
Speaker 2: What are you an ex? But absolutely I was telling
people that I.
Speaker 3: Started playing soccer too. Do you do you dig that?
Do you dig Stalker?
Speaker 2: I've never I think I played a little bit of
the first Stalker and quickly decided it was not for me.
I mean, it's game passed. I downloaded it. I'll try it, yeah,
I mean all admit, like, part of me is like, yeah,
let's support that studio because boy, they went through some ship,
didn't they.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 4: I think also I love it because I dig I
dig the Soviet vibes so much, you know, it's I'm
a sucker for that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I watched the Digital Foundry video and I kind
of like to suggestion they had of playing in the Ukraine.
Ukrainian voiceovers and having the English subtitles on side might
go that route if I fired up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah I did.
Speaker 4: I did that at the beginning, and I switched it
back to English just to check. And the voice acting
is serviceable.
Speaker 2: She's works.
Speaker 3: It's not very good, but it has like a charming.
Speaker 2: To it, you know.
Speaker 4: It's it's like this reminds me of the old times.
Voice acting is kind of wonkey.
Speaker 3: And the deliriate.
Speaker 4: And they don't have accents.
Speaker 3: They don't have we're European accents.
Speaker 2: Probably good again, I agree with digital found like sometimes
like like when you play Metro it creates a little
bit and how everyone just has these thick Russian accents. Yeah,
against Like why are we even bothering to speak English
at this point? Like we're clearly in Russia.
Speaker 1: Don't you hate when you can't find your German non
f d A approved cramp pills when you want them? No?
Speaker 2: No, all right, all right? Uh let me load those up?
Speaker 1: Yeah, got them right, all right? Uh, okay, we're ready

Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Was?
Speaker 1: Remember was the end of the Game Awards.
Speaker 2: That's right?
Speaker 1: Remember that it was the one more thing at the
Game Awards.
Speaker 2: You fooled. Yes, that is the thing that that, more
than anything, in my opinion, damages the Game Awards is
is Jeff Keely's obsession with celebrities like anyone who's ever
been in a movie is welcome on his stage for
as long as they want.
Speaker 4: Wait, wait, wait, wait what I remember being Diesel on
the Game Awards, but I remember him announcing that dinosaur game.
I don't remember him announcing as it was.
Speaker 2: Him and what's her name?
Speaker 1: They both came out.
Speaker 3: They both came out like this is really happening. Was
a dinosaur thing?
Speaker 2: Then because he was in the he was just in
the trailer. He wasn't out to announce it. She doesn't
forget that was the Game Awards or what. Yeah, that
was a different thing.
