Amd it opening all the time. 116 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.120 Yeah, I think Molwana one's like the most streamed movie 117 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.720 or something right like across maybe all platforms because kids 118 00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:56.800 just watch Mowana on repeat or something. So yeah, people 119 00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:58.160 are dying for Mawana. 120 00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:00.439 Do you think like the little gimmicks of the world 121 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.120 have a positive perception of the rock right now versus 122 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.120 like adults that watch movies. 123 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:13.560 Are they saying red one yes, talking about yeah that 124 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.040 kids want nothing but Red One Merch for Christmas did 125 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:17.000 come out. 126 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:18.800 Yeah, I think so. 127 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.040 Yeah, they had to kick it out of the theaters 128 00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:24.839 because it was causing riots because people were demanding more 129 00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:27.439 Red One. 130 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.920 Yeah, pitchforks to get into more Imax theaters changed the world. 131 00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:35.480 At my local theater, they had replaced all the Wicked decorations, 132 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:40.399 all the Gladiator decorations with Red One decor I just 133 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.120 on a whim, I looked up the seats available for 134 00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:48.600 any Red One potential screenings. Not a nothing, No, I mean, 135 00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.959 I mean there was nothing but availability. So you know, 136 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:53.560 let that call your expectations. 137 00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.160 But Dock and I have been chasing this dragon of 138 00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:59.040 Christmas Eve. We were in Jersey a few years ago 139 00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:02.000 and we went to cheese factory. We had cocktails, then 140 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.480 we had Edibles, and then we saw Avatar two and 141 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:06.720 we don't remember anything of that movie. We just remember 142 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.560 having an incredible time the whole time. Yeah, that's right, 143 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:11.639 and so we've been wanting to you know, so this 144 00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:13.519 this year, we're gonna be in Jersey and we're looking 145 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.240 at the movies that are coming out, and we want 146 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:17.480 to see nas Faratu. But I think that comes out 147 00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:19.759 Christmas Day and we want to do the Christmas Eve 148 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.759 thing like the Avatar totally. It looks like our best 149 00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:25.920 option might be Sonic three. So go to the cheesecake 150 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:27.480 factory and get high and watch Sonic three. 151 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.839 But it sounds all right, start doing showings for Christmas 152 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:33.199 Day releases on Christmas Eve night, though I. 153 00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:35.319 Thought I looked so far, AMC doesn't have him listed 154 00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.879 or anything. So Sonic three is the plan unless No 155 00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:40.920 Saratu opens up. So so do I need to see 156 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:42.079 Sonic two to understand it? 157 00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:43.040 Unheard? 158 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:47.360 No, you should go see Craven the Hunter.

He has lived in the 244 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.000 same place for twenty five years, the same house, and 245 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:54.279 he's been getting increasingly annoyed that when he goes out 246 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:57.879 to smoke, his neighbors sometimes are coming unto their house 247 00:11:57.919 --> 00:11:59.759 at the same time, and we'll talk to him. And 248 00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:01.559 he doesn't want to talk to his neighbors. They're all 249 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:02.960 very nice and everything, but he doesn't want to do 250 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.320 stopping chats. And I told him, Dad, you have a 251 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:07.519 back deck. I've said this for years. You have a 252 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:09.919 back deck. Go smoke on your back deck. He's like, 253 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:11.519 now that there's something weird with the door. Yet you 254 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:13.200 have to like put a wooden thing there to lock it. 255 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:14.399 I don't want to mess with it. And I was like, 256 00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:17.000 all right, maybe you get a new door. And I 257 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:20.080 kept telling him every year, get a new door. Instead, 258 00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:24.399 he chose to without telling anyone, sold his house. 259 00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:30.480 Wait wait, wait wait, he couldn't get weird of his neighbors. 260 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:33.519 Wait that because he had to talk to his neighbors. 261 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:37.080 Yes, the primary thing was he needs more solitude because 262 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.679 he doesn't want to talk to his neighbors when he smokes. 263 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:42.200 He also didn't want to get a door fixed, so 264 00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.799 he sold the house without telling anyone. Here's the other 265 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.200 fun part. He has to be out in less than 266 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:51.960 a week. He doesn't know where he's going. What he 267 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.559 didn't consider the like having to find a new place. 268 00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:00.279 He gets to be homeless.

I'll find 279 00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:23.480 a place that's fine. It's fine, he says. Look, I 280 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:26.879 won't go into super specifics and numbers and stuff. He 281 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.480 is operating off the assumption that everything costs the same 282 00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:31.720 as it did in like nineteen ninety two. He's like, 283 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:33.679 I'm not moment to miss until it's perfect, and I 284 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:35.840 want it for this unbelievable. 285 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:36.399 Put it this way. 286 00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:37.960 When I was going to Boston with him and we 287 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:39.480 were going to split a hotel, he's like, all right, 288 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:41.320 find something near Fenway, and I want to spend more 289 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:46.720 than sixty dollars a night. We don't need to go 290 00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:48.519 to your bits. You want to go to the Ritz 291 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:50.720 or something. No, just find a normal guye hotel that's 292 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:53.200 a dad. Literally, no place is going to be sixty 293 00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:56.000 dollars A name so imagine that to house standards into 294 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:56.759 twenty twenty four. 295 00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:01.159 Oh no, yeah, So that. 296 00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:04.440 Was a big conversation all week with him. 297 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:08.440 He did he like the house selling? Did he what 298 00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:09.799 can he take it back? 299 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:14.600 He tried, after he tried, after the inspection, and after 300 00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:16.759 the contracts were signed. He decided there was going to 301 00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:19.120 be a hole to do to move and told the 302 00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:21.399 realtor like, oh, I don't want to move, and she's like, 303 00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:22.679 you can't do that. He's like, well, can you just 304 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:24.399 ask him if maybe we can just cancel the thing? 305 00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:26.279 And then the buyers got mad at him, and so 306 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:27.159 that's awkward too. 307 00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:29.720 Yes, of course it's a whole to do to it's 308 00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:32.519 like the biggest to do. I know. He did not 309 00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:34.200 think about any of this, so he did, but he 310 00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:37.039 did go to a realtor like, yes, the realtor, Yes, 311 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:37.799 I helped himselves. 312 00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:40.559 And he's working with him now and finding the next spot. 313 00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:45.639 So he's things are hopefully in motion. I'm keeping up 314 00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:46.000 with them. 315 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:49.759 I don't did anyone think of like just replace the 316 00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:52.600 door or I brought it up every year when he 317 00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:55.320 would increasingly complain about this, and he would get very frustrated. 318 00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:57.159 And that's not an option. I'm not gonna do that. 319 00:14:57.200 --> 00:14:57.639 Not gonna do that. 320 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.279 An he has Paul thought about like putting on headphones 321 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.639 and maybe that's the reason why he wouldn't talk to anyone. 322 00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:08.399 Uh No, he just needs more solitude, he said solitude, 323 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:14.000 But is his solitude? Keep using that word like he's batman. 324 00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.440 No, who is the most solitude of anyone I've ever met? 325 00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:20.120 Needs more solitude? It's yes, this this. 326 00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:23.159 Came up a lot, so, uh that's what I'm dealing with. 327 00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:25.159 It's kind of unfortunate because I think they moved the 328 00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:27.679 Ted Kazinski house so he can't move into that. That's 329 00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:28.559 a bummer for sure. 330 00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:32.279 Sure, absolutely, yeah, yeah, so. 331 00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:35.000 Oh yeah, I know, no chat talking about concerning Yeah, No, 332 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:38.600 we're all concerned.

That's nice to you, 335 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.279 but like he's kind of he kind of deserves what's coming, 336 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:48.840 you know. 337 00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:54.120 I mean it's baffling. It is wild behavior, and uh yeah, 338 00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:56.120 I'm trying to help him with it. We're all trying 339 00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:57.960 to give him some tips and stuff. But what I 340 00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:01.440 helped if he brought this up with anybody before you sold. Yeah, 341 00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:05.080 just like I like the surprise aspect of it.

Will help you out there. 444 00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:34.400 Okay, I'm going to give it an actual shot. This 445 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:36.799 is not I'm not playing anything up. I'm going to 446 00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:38.039 actually try to pickure this out. And you tell me 447 00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:39.759 how said some words that were keywords in there. 448 00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:40.680 I wonder if you were listening. 449 00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:45.480 I just heard spatch and cock. So I'm going to 450 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:51.440 assume it's a method of coating the exterior of the 451 00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:57.000 turkey before baking it. With you take like a spray situation. 452 00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:58.559 It's like, you know how you can put olive oil 453 00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:01.400 in a spray bottom and spray it to kind of 454 00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:04.519 like misted things. I think it's a way of putting, 455 00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:06.799 like if you want to do kariaki or soy sauce 456 00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:09.079 or like a fun like just get dispatches of it 457 00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:13.359 on the outside, just to do a missting, just to 458 00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:16.079 get the soy spatches on the skin of the chicken 459 00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:16.839 before you bacon. 460 00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:20.799 Are sa not a bad guess? Are spat dan in 461 00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:21.160 your head? 462 00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:21.599 What?

Come on now, Sehn, you got that you 467 00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:39.839 you described basically like brining a bird. Basically that's a 468 00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:40.480 little bit different. 469 00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:42.960 Then then spatch cockings taking out the spine so that 470 00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:44.839 the bird cooks it more evenly. 471 00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:47.960 You wouldn't want the spine in there anyway. 472 00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:51.039 Sure, well, then scratch cocking's for you, buddy, who wants 473 00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:53.880 the spine. Well, if you when you spatch cock it, 474 00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:56.000 you can't put stuffing in the bird because you know 475 00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:57.319 there's no cavity anymore. 476 00:21:57.319 --> 00:21:59.160 It's also extra work before you put it. 477 00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:02.440 The other gotta so dispatch cocking, you rip out the spine. 478 00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:09.400 You basically do a fatality zero yeah, yeah, okay, all right, guys, 479 00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:12.440 here's here's here's the plan.

Some were saying it was 496 00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:01.720 much better everybody. I'm loud quitting that. 497 00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:10.440 I was graciously invited by Capcom to visit Osaka, Japan 498 00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:14.640 to check out Monster Hunter Wild's couple. There are a 499 00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:16.880 couple of us. Jake Decker was included. Go check out 500 00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:20.359 Jake Decker's preview on GameSpot dot com right now. Jake 501 00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:25.559 breaks down our experience. Their video is incoming too many 502 00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:28.240 real life family problems and real life problems that I 503 00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:30.680 didn't have time to work on it. But let me 504 00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:33.759 tell y'all, I think this is my first time visiting 505 00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:36.920 a studio and kind of seeing more of the behind 506 00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:41.359 the scenes type of stuff MOCAP. I don't understand how 507 00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:45.039 it works. I understand how it works in concept of 508 00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:47.759 like putting the little spheres on someone and having like 509 00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:50.759 a million cameras watching them, but in the way that 510 00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:55.599 technology has progressed. It is so insane because with the 511 00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:58.920 Ari engine, what the Capcom dev team is able to 512 00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:04.640 do is they will have these two actors act out 513 00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:12.559 uh hunter animations uh and monster animations, which is absolutely insane. 514 00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:15.079 So like the hunter stuff, completely understand. It's a guy 515 00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:17.799 pretending to swing a big sword doing some of the 516 00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:20.240 fun animations. They had a bunch of mattresses and crash 517 00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:23.920 pads around. So some of the animations are for shoot 518 00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:26.559 where a guy is like full on lunging, and that's great, 519 00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:31.200 that's cool. But then the wild part is that some 520 00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:37.680 of the monsters are also are also mo capped, so 521 00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:40.079 like the Big Bear or. 522 00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:42.160 Something might bring in their dog and put some pink 523 00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:44.039 punk balls on it. 524 00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:47.079 It is a dude full on acting like a monster, 525 00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:50.160 and he's he's going for it. 526 00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:55.880 If you have a fun job, Dan, you'd be so 527 00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:59.000 good at it. You need to quit too, all that 528 00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:07.519 that's my job just gonna be me wait too. I'll 529 00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:09.119 be working here soon if you won't quit. 530 00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:13.559 But it's it's so funny because like with with mo 531 00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:15.599 cap and like you know, I've seen a lot of 532 00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:17.559 like the Last of Us stuff where like there's like, 533 00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:20.559 oh my god, like we're on this emotional journey and 534 00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:23.119 I'm not discounting that right of of the Last of 535 00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:25.480 US actors going through the motions and the scenes there, 536 00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:29.519 but it is to be more impressive to see a 537 00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:34.559 Japanese man just scowling his face and just just like 538 00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:38.160 snarling and growling and crawling on all fours to become 539 00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:41.799 a monster. It's so impressive, guys, because then they will 540 00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:44.799 take these animations and then because of the Ari Engine, 541 00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:47.480 they can like immediately throw them into the game and 542 00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:50.960 see how they would look and make like minute adjustments 543 00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:52.200 so they'll be. 544 00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:55.799 The automatically interpolate the animation data. 545 00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:57.519 Yeah, that's crazy. 546 00:25:57.720 --> 00:25:59.759 This is how they made that Donkey Kong Country show. 547 00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:01.920 Dan really. 548 00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:09.000 What I saw watch it for the eighteenth time and 549 00:26:09.079 --> 00:26:12.279 with a new appreciation, and it. 550 00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:16.279 Was really really really cool because they they took their 551 00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:21.359 craft very seriously and because like, uh, the same guy 552 00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:25.440 that was the monster immediately switched characters and switched his 553 00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:28.000 vibe because then he became your palaco And it was 554 00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:32.400 a little bit unnerving. I skated on Blue Sky earlier today, 555 00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:36.839 but this guy goes from like snarling on all fours 556 00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:39.559 to like being like a little catman and it kind 557 00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:42.319 of now makes me feel some type of way about 558 00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:46.119 my Palaico that it's actually a Japanese man hiding underneath there. 559 00:26:46.759 --> 00:26:47.759 It's got better than a soul. 560 00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:55.759 Yeah, yo, Capcom fire gone off on all cylinders, Like 561 00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:59.839 that team behind Monster Hunter knows what the fuck they're doing. 562 00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:00.240 Guy. 563 00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:03.960 Yeah, we got a limited tour of the studio, so 564 00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:06.720 we saw the motion capture stuff. We had like a 565 00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:08.400 five hour demo of the game, and I'll talk about 566 00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:11.720 that in a second, but they showed us the audio 567 00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:16.559 mixing room that they mixed Resident Evil a couple other 568 00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:19.599 Capcom games. And the way that they were live demoing 569 00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:23.759 the synths in the game to properly show off the 570 00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:28.079 different weather seasons was so wild and like so much 571 00:27:28.119 --> 00:27:32.240 attention is put into it, like they were adding layers 572 00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:38.200 and layers of like synths eighty style since and hiding 573 00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:42.240 that underneath like an orchestral score to evoke like all right, 574 00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:45.359 now you feel uneasy because now it's like the stormy season, 575 00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:48.880 and now you feel a monster coming. The wildest part 576 00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:53.599 of the tour was visiting the fully studio of Capcom, 577 00:27:54.119 --> 00:27:57.119 and for folks unfamiliar, fully work is when you take 578 00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:03.519 a bunch of mishmditting Dave Foley. Mick Foley's there. Yeah, 579 00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:05.920 but there's like a bunch of different miscellaneous things, and 580 00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:10.599 like a couple audio engineers and musicians will mash a 581 00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:13.559 bunch of stuff together to create sound effects for movies, games, 582 00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:18.920 et cetera. But this team is so goddamn cool because 583 00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:21.319 they were looking at the monsters that are gonna be 584 00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:23.720 in Monster Hunter Wild's and they were like, you know, 585 00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:26.079 we don't have a real instrument or real thing that 586 00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:28.240 like sounds like what we think that thing sounds like, 587 00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:31.400 so let's just make an instrument. And then they pulled 588 00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:35.319 out like something that looked like a Drew McIntyre style 589 00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:39.319 Claymore and it wound up being an obo or like a 590 00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:43.039 trombone style thing, and Charles Hart was there and I 591 00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:45.880 guess he plays the trombone and then he was like, 592 00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:48.359 so do you guys like worry about like landing on 593 00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:51.519 precise notes? And then the kind Japanese later was like, no, 594 00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:53.680 not at all. This is completely random, but we just 595 00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:55.240 had to make this because this is what we felt 596 00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:58.799 like it needed to sound like. And it looked like 597 00:28:58.839 --> 00:29:01.200 it was just a bunch of peevs, sea pipes and 598 00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:04.599 like hoses put together. And she was just. 599 00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:09.519 Another cool job, just random killing fully artist instrument maker. 600 00:29:09.599 --> 00:29:11.440 Oh yeah, some of those rooms are so cool. 601 00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:12.920 Like you'll go into some of there will be tiles 602 00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:16.200 and it's like here's gravel, here's asphalt, here's sand, and 603 00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:17.839 like here's like you know, you're just stopping around in 604 00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:19.599 the making it. Like that's a cool hell. 605 00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:22.960 Disney World used to have an attraction where you got 606 00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:24.799 to be a fully artist. It was great. They played 607 00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:27.160 they played a short movie they made with Steve mart 608 00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:29.039 Martin show is like a horror thing and first they 609 00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:30.880 like play it without the sound effects, and they picked 610 00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:32.680 people from the audience to go to the different folly 611 00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:35.079 stations and they got to add in the sounds and 612 00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:36.559 then they play the movie with the sounds. 613 00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:40.400 It was a lot of fun. And yeah, they they 614 00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:46.319 pulled out like a treasure chest with a rubber glove 615 00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:51.240 and like an accordion stepper hose thing just. 616 00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:52.160 Friday night to me. 617 00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:02.240 That yeah, and they were like, yeah, you know, we 618 00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:04.960 just sometimes just fluts around and make stuff just for 619 00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:07.359 the sake of making stuff, whether it's for this game 620 00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:11.839 or for future games. And it's funny because the the 621 00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:15.279 little obo thing or trombone thing that they made, it 622 00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:20.319 just sounded like but then like because of their audio engineer, 623 00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:22.920 they did like a live demo where they showed us 624 00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:24.920 the same footage of the monster they were trying to 625 00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:27.839 make a sound for. Uh, And then like after maybe 626 00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:30.400 two three minutes of editing, I was like, oh, okay, 627 00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:33.640 now I see what y'all were going for, right, And 628 00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:39.599 it's so interesting that like they think about the so 629 00:30:39.720 --> 00:30:42.240 many different aspects in terms of sound design when it 630 00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:44.599 comes to these monsters, because they were like, yeah, this 631 00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:48.160 monster has is kind of like a lion comes sweeping in. 632 00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:51.160 There's like a proudness to it. And then but the 633 00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:56.279 instrument they make sounds like shouts out to the team, 634 00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:57.359 So goddamn cool. 635 00:30:57.559 --> 00:30:58.480 Yeah, that sounds amazing. 636 00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:02.880 Don't vog will eventually come out, But guys, the game 637 00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:08.440 Monster Hunter Wilds, holy shit, Holy shit. 638 00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:12.079 It feels like a culmination of current of modern dig 639 00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:13.319 capcom in a lot of ways. 640 00:31:13.559 --> 00:31:16.480 One hundred percent, boys, I think it is a front 641 00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:20.319 runner for early Game of the Year twenty twenty five contenders. 642 00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:21.680 It's start talking about me. 643 00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:24.119 No, no, we can, Yes we can. 644 00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:28.960 Yeah, we we can't talk about twenty twenty five Game 645 00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:31.640 of the Year before we've done twenty twenty four Game 646 00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:32.200 of the Year. 647 00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:33.079 God. 648 00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:37.039 I only played five five hours of it, but within 649 00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:39.839 those five hours, I was like, holy shit, like this 650 00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:41.599 nice game is cooking. Yes please? 651 00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:44.160 What were you playing on? How was performance? Because that 652 00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:45.960 was like the one thing bumming me out about that 653 00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:47.240 PlayStation five beta. 654 00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:49.079 So I was a little bit bummed out when we 655 00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:51.279 rolled into the room because we did play them on 656 00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:56.279 PlayStation fives. Performance was pretty okay. They had us play 657 00:31:56.400 --> 00:32:02.160 on picture mode, so favoring resolut rather than frame rate. 658 00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:06.960 There was still some pop in occasionally, but performance wise 659 00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:10.440 it was completely fine. I was waiting for it to 660 00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:13.960 like fall apart, but throughout those five hours you held 661 00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:18.160 up completely fine. We didn't check out any multiplayer stuff. 662 00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:22.759 We're pretty locked into like just solo hunting, but checking 663 00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:26.440 out from the very beginning of the game. We hunted 664 00:32:26.440 --> 00:32:31.640 a couple monsters that were available in the beta or 665 00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:33.799 the demo that came out a couple of weeks ago, 666 00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:39.519 but we had full range of the different weapons, and 667 00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:42.200 I was looking at all these weapons and I was 668 00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:44.160 thinking like, all right, now is the time to experiment. 669 00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:46.720 Like I got like the top minds at Capcom right 670 00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:48.960 here that could probably guide me. But I just went 671 00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:50.839 with a hammer. I just went with a hammer, and 672 00:32:50.839 --> 00:32:52.119 I was just swinging for the fences. 673 00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:54.160 Hamber respond because you do that like just like kind 674 00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:57.480 of bunk bunk bunk bunk bunk move at a certain point. 675 00:32:57.799 --> 00:33:02.359 It was great, It was absolutely great. They this was 676 00:33:03.640 --> 00:33:08.119 available in the beta. But you are able to take 677 00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:10.559 out a second weapon out on your hunts that you 678 00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:14.799 keep on your sacred Your sacred is your mount. It's 679 00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:17.480 kind of like a lizard chocobo thing kind of replaces 680 00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:21.160 the dog that you had in Monster Hunter Rise. And 681 00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:24.839 I personally wasn't using it too much, but then after 682 00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:27.519 chatting with the devs for a bit, they were saying, 683 00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:30.440 even if you don't like using other weapons per se, 684 00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:33.519 like you don't want to carry two different weapons out 685 00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:36.480 on a hunt, Like say you're really tied into the 686 00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:39.440 long sword and you want to have a ranged weapon, 687 00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:41.880 you don't have to. You can still roll in with 688 00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:44.920 two hammers, not dual wielding, but you roll in with 689 00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:48.720 your normal hammer, and then say the monster is giving 690 00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:51.160 you a little bit of trouble, you go to your 691 00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:53.839 sacred switch out, and then you have a hammer that 692 00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:58.519 inflicts like status effects, status ailments. So now you're poisoning 693 00:33:58.559 --> 00:34:01.519 a monster, you're electrocuting a monster, or maybe the hammer 694 00:34:01.599 --> 00:34:06.319 you went out on your hunt originally't isn't super effective 695 00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:08.320 against the monsters, so then you have the ability to 696 00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:13.320 quickly switch out there. The Sacred absolutely amazing. This is 697 00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:17.960 going to change hunts on This is going to change 698 00:34:18.039 --> 00:34:21.840 hunts moving forward because the Sacred is absolutely amazing. Like 699 00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:23.800 I said, it's your mount. You get it very very 700 00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:27.000 early and on the game almost immediately, And the best 701 00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:29.519 thing about it is that it kind of is like 702 00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:33.599 a safety I need a break mode because you just 703 00:34:33.679 --> 00:34:37.039 hit up on the dpad, you call it automatically mount it, 704 00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:39.760 and from there, your Sacred is just kind of roaming 705 00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:42.480 around while you are fighting a monster and kind of 706 00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:46.000 like avoiding all the obstacles and avoiding all the attacks 707 00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:49.599 so you can heal up. You can sharpen your weapon 708 00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:52.199 if you have to, you can eat a ration if 709 00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:55.639 you have to, fire off an SOS flare, so you 710 00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:59.440 can get a little bit of a reprieve from the 711 00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:03.079 hunt while you're in it. Also, it has an auto 712 00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:06.960 feature where say you're in that phase where the monster 713 00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:10.679 is now heading to another location because you've finished fighting 714 00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:12.960 it in one specific zone of the map and it's 715 00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:18.400 fleeing to another one. It's not ready to face death, 716 00:35:18.519 --> 00:35:27.119 just like all of us, right, speak for yourself. The 717 00:35:27.719 --> 00:35:31.119 you hit follow on the Sacred, and the Sacred, depending 718 00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:32.960 on the pace you want it to, will like just 719 00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:36.840 gun after the monster or slowly go after it. And 720 00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:40.039 while you're doing that, and while the Sacred is like 721 00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:43.239 on its autopath to the monster, you can still kind 722 00:35:43.239 --> 00:35:45.119 of steer around of like, oh, I can pick up 723 00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:48.760 these herbs, I can pick up these bugs, and then 724 00:35:48.840 --> 00:35:52.559 the like the little gun launcher thing on your arm 725 00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:56.599 is a big component in this game, so while you're riding, 726 00:35:56.639 --> 00:36:00.280 you can can arm it and wind up like graping 727 00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:03.719 different supplies so you can get an herb, you can 728 00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:07.039 get honey or like the miscellaneous bugs. It isn't like 729 00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:11.159 the sling bugs in Monster Hunter Rise. I did miss those, 730 00:36:11.280 --> 00:36:14.639 but having your Sacred as a form of mobility was 731 00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:19.119 just so fucking great, y'all, and I can't understate it. 732 00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:23.760 S flares work a little bit differently as well, since 733 00:36:23.800 --> 00:36:26.320 we were in a single player environment and we weren't 734 00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:29.639 connected to a network. The SOS flares are cool because 735 00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:35.079 you can just summon ai companions for any hunt, and 736 00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:36.920 you know they're not going to work as well as 737 00:36:38.079 --> 00:36:41.079 human for shoot players, but if you need a little 738 00:36:41.079 --> 00:36:44.320 bit of assistance, maybe you're struggling a little bit, they'll 739 00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:47.320 pop in. And sometimes they are like the story characters 740 00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:50.760 that you are actually with, which is fun. So you'll 741 00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:53.480 see like characters that you're interacting with and cutscenes and like, oh, 742 00:36:53.559 --> 00:36:59.400 hey you're here too, cool, sick. Great. They really emphasize 743 00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:01.920 not going back to your camp or your hub world 744 00:37:02.159 --> 00:37:05.800 a lot in this game. They emphasize a lot on 745 00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:10.119 making these portable campsites that were throughout the world, or 746 00:37:10.199 --> 00:37:13.079 just embarking on a hunt or a new quest immediately 747 00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:16.960 from your existing quest. So you'll finish a hunt and 748 00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:21.039 your companion will be like, hey, you want to do 749 00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:24.320 something else, we're out here, you want to just scour 750 00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:27.000 the environment, just do like a research quest, and you're 751 00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:30.000 free to do that, which I think is great. They've 752 00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:36.239 really streamlined the hunts overall as well. Like I kind 753 00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:40.559 of got fatigued playing Monster Hunter worlds because sometimes as 754 00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:42.400 hunts would go on way too long, they would go 755 00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:44.639 for like twenty thirty minutes, and. 756 00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:47.400 Like, yeah, I definitely felt that way Yeah, I don't 757 00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:49.719 mind those every once in a while, but it was 758 00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:51.559 I felt like most of the ones I wanted to 759 00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:52.920 be doing were getting to be that way. 760 00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:56.920 Yeah, these maybe I'm just so freaking good at the game, 761 00:37:57.280 --> 00:37:59.480 or maybe because probably very early in the game, but 762 00:37:59.559 --> 00:38:04.960 you know MLG and everything. These hunts were taking like 763 00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:09.679 anywhere from like eight to ten minutes, which was kind 764 00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:14.320 of refreshing because of the focus system that they've added in. 765 00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:16.719 And I've always had a problem with Monster Hunter that 766 00:38:16.719 --> 00:38:20.239 there's no hard lock on right with a monster here. 767 00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:25.280 When you hit focus mode, you're kind of like tank 768 00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:28.239 controls in a way where you are only attacking forward 769 00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:31.199 and straight on or kind of like auto targeting the 770 00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:34.400 monster in front of you. And the focus and wound 771 00:38:34.440 --> 00:38:39.320 system is great because say you are attacking a monster's 772 00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:43.119 leg a lot, and you will eventually create a wound, 773 00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:46.480 and if you hold down your focus mode and you 774 00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:50.559 hit your focus attack on the wound, you'll do a 775 00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:53.559 lot more damage on the monster than you would just 776 00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:57.559 randomly swinging at the different various body parts. Also, it's 777 00:38:57.599 --> 00:39:02.000 a good way to hunt and farm for specific monster 778 00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:05.079 parts that you need for your armor and your weapons 779 00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:10.239 and everything. I don't want to spoil anything, but the 780 00:39:10.519 --> 00:39:13.320 armor in this game. I know the fashion and Monster 781 00:39:13.400 --> 00:39:18.159 Hunter is a big thing, y'all. You'd be styling and 782 00:39:18.360 --> 00:39:22.320 profiling in this game, like there is an early monster 783 00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:24.920 that I suggest, two early monsters, I suggest once this 784 00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:30.079 comes out, or maybe there's a bigger beta that you 785 00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:32.079 just need to go out. 786 00:39:32.079 --> 00:39:33.280 There's always a bigger beta. 787 00:39:34.320 --> 00:39:38.280 There's always a bigger beta. You gotta immediately fast track 788 00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:41.559 because and complete that armor set because you look so 789 00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:45.239 fucking cool and out of place in this world of 790 00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:48.719 Monster Hunter, and then you can make your palico look 791 00:39:48.840 --> 00:39:55.079 super dumb. Yeah, it's great. I honestly can't wait for it. 792 00:39:55.280 --> 00:39:59.119 And it seems like they've, you know, even from the 793 00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:01.519 beta and from like the language that they were talking about. 794 00:40:01.519 --> 00:40:04.599 They're they're trying as as hard as possible to streamline 795 00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:07.800 the multiplayer process as well, because that was that was 796 00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:10.960 a real challenge in worlds, especially if someone was not 797 00:40:11.119 --> 00:40:13.719 up to date where with where you were in your story. 798 00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:17.840 It was just a big hassle. But guys, Monster Hunter Wilds, 799 00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:20.239 I cannot fucking wait for February. I mean, I can't 800 00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:21.000 wait for February. 801 00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:23.519 It's it's weird. Because I'm still always like, oh that 802 00:40:23.639 --> 00:40:25.280 those are games are coming out next year, but now 803 00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:34.320 we're in December, so next month, next year, Yeah. 804 00:40:31.320 --> 00:40:34.000 I cannot wait. I cannot wait for a more Monster Hunter. 805 00:40:34.119 --> 00:40:37.679 And you know, maybe maybe now is the time that 806 00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:44.719 we'll we'll have an actual Monster Hunter. Mondays in our time. 807 00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:46.400 Now is the best time. 808 00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:47.760 It was the best thing you wait in Japan? 809 00:40:48.239 --> 00:40:56.840 Oh mm hmm. Honestly, fucking cone Beanie, guys, that's great 810 00:40:57.280 --> 00:40:58.519 convenience store stuff. 811 00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:01.679 How far were you from an eleven right. 812 00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:02.239 Across the street? 813 00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:04.719 Say yeah, yeah, oh yeah, and there's another one right 814 00:41:04.719 --> 00:41:05.440 across that street. 815 00:41:05.440 --> 00:41:06.239 I'm sure yeah. 816 00:41:06.280 --> 00:41:08.239 And then there was like we were also across the 817 00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:11.119 street from a Coco eacha Banya, so like just like 818 00:41:11.159 --> 00:41:15.480 the Japanese curry, and then like shots out, shouts out 819 00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:18.599 to the gang. Jake Decker was there. Andy Cortez from 820 00:41:18.679 --> 00:41:22.599 kind of Funny Charles Hart shouts out to my boy 821 00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:28.800 Charlie and like just good, great time, fantastic time eating. 822 00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:32.599 But Andy was very hesitant about trying out Coco curry 823 00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:34.480 because he's a big fan of a curry spot here 824 00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:37.400 in SF. And then Jake and I were like, dog, 825 00:41:37.639 --> 00:41:41.000 you got to try this. This shit's all over that 826 00:41:41.559 --> 00:41:44.119 in back back at home, and we were both fans 827 00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:47.800 of that spot at home, and then like Andy takes 828 00:41:47.840 --> 00:41:51.119 one one spoonful of the curry and my man's face 829 00:41:51.239 --> 00:41:53.519 just falls and we're like, oh, no, you don't like it. 830 00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:56.440 He was like, no, this is amazing. This is the 831 00:41:56.480 --> 00:41:57.840 best plate of curry I've ever had. 832 00:41:58.239 --> 00:41:59.320 It's not so good. 833 00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:00.519 It's like one of those is where you take a 834 00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:03.280 bite and you're like mad almost. We're like, Jesus, how 835 00:42:03.320 --> 00:42:04.320 does this a real thing? 836 00:42:04.440 --> 00:42:06.119 I bet it wasn't as good as the curry I 837 00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:08.679 had in Disney. 838 00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:12.000 Thank you, Jeff, I'm here for you, but I felt 839 00:42:12.039 --> 00:42:13.440 you seething underneath.

Okay. 936 00:47:25.960 --> 00:47:28.400 I split off from the group and Jake was like, 937 00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:30.039 where are you going? I was like, I need to 938 00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:33.320 go buy pants, and he's looking at my pants and 939 00:47:33.320 --> 00:47:34.920 he's like, what are you talking about? Andy's like what 940 00:47:34.960 --> 00:47:37.280 are you talking about? Other people are like, you're buying 941 00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:41.079 pants here. I'm like, I gotta go, And I walked 942 00:47:41.800 --> 00:47:45.840 thirty minutes out of the way and I get lost 943 00:47:45.880 --> 00:47:49.480 inside this mall because the store that I bought these 944 00:47:49.559 --> 00:47:52.880 genes from that I finally got from Nicky. Over the weekend, 945 00:47:55.639 --> 00:47:58.159 they had another story in Osaka, and I was superjuiced. 946 00:47:58.360 --> 00:48:00.280 I had a great experience when I visited them in 947 00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:02.719 Tokyo and I was like, Yo, your boy's gonna load 948 00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:06.079 up on jeans and shirts. It's gonna be great. And 949 00:48:06.119 --> 00:48:09.800 then I walk in the dullest experience of my life. 950 00:48:09.880 --> 00:48:14.519 Everything there was all super skinny. My thick thighs could 951 00:48:14.519 --> 00:48:18.320 not fit into anything. They didn't have overpriced the white 952 00:48:18.360 --> 00:48:22.239 T shirts. They didn't have any jean jackets. I was gonna. 953 00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:24.880 I was thinking, like, you know what, Alex Bonnello bought 954 00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:27.800 a pair of Onny Denham when we were there. They 955 00:48:27.840 --> 00:48:30.159 looked good. I'm gonna go buy those too. They didn't 956 00:48:30.199 --> 00:48:30.599 have those. 957 00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:31.800 I don't have those. 958 00:48:32.039 --> 00:48:36.440 They didn't even have the cool Hawaiian shirts that I bought. 959 00:48:36.480 --> 00:48:40.639 They just have like regular jeans and regular expensive jeans. 960 00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:43.079 And I'm like, guys, I'm not about this, not about wow. 961 00:48:43.679 --> 00:48:46.639 And then jan yeah, and then I joined the group 962 00:48:46.679 --> 00:48:49.280 and Jays like penciled. 963 00:48:49.599 --> 00:48:51.440 Rejoined proud of that one. 964 00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:54.519 Okay, he's proud of it. 965 00:48:55.039 --> 00:49:01.039 Yeah, I know, still laughing, And then Shaky look at him. Shake. 966 00:49:01.039 --> 00:49:03.880 You can't here listeners. He's shaking and biting his finger. 967 00:49:04.800 --> 00:49:07.360 Second he said you panciled, and that's also pretty good 968 00:49:11.119 --> 00:49:11.639 on my finger. 969 00:49:13.760 --> 00:49:16.119 He's slapping his thigh. Now, oh my god, his eyes 970 00:49:16.159 --> 00:49:17.280 are popping out of his head. 971 00:49:19.559 --> 00:49:22.760 Turn into a cartoon character himself. 972 00:49:22.880 --> 00:49:25.760 Now he's levitating because he smells pie chilling out on 973 00:49:25.800 --> 00:49:31.639 a window. Uh that was that was Japan, Oh Soka, Japan. 974 00:49:31.880 --> 00:49:33.480 The video is gonna come out. I swear to god 975 00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:36.320 it's something a good time. I'm looking forward to that 976 00:49:36.360 --> 00:49:38.760 game though. I think we should all go to Japan together. 977 00:49:39.079 --> 00:49:40.800 That would be great love that never been. 978 00:49:41.159 --> 00:49:43.880 Oh my god, y'all would oh my god, guys, we 979 00:49:43.920 --> 00:49:47.599 would eat so much, so we wouldn't spend that much. 980 00:49:47.719 --> 00:49:50.199 I would. I would not take my ocepic that week. 981 00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:52.480 Now, Mike, would you with all your like? Because you 982 00:49:52.480 --> 00:49:54.800 know we are the weird food guys here. And I 983 00:49:54.840 --> 00:49:56.719 wonder like because the first time I went to Japan, 984 00:49:56.760 --> 00:49:58.400 I remember thinking like, all right, I got all my 985 00:49:58.440 --> 00:50:00.840 weird food hang ups and stuff. But my first time Japan, 986 00:50:01.000 --> 00:50:03.480 I'm just gonna eat everything. And I was going with 987 00:50:03.519 --> 00:50:04.880 timp Terry and I was like, just show me where 988 00:50:04.920 --> 00:50:07.159 to eat, and I'm not gonna do any special no, 989 00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:09.199 none of this, none of that. And I eat everything 990 00:50:09.400 --> 00:50:11.000 and some of it was weird, some of it was gross, 991 00:50:11.039 --> 00:50:12.280 but some of it was like, holy shit, I'm so 992 00:50:12.320 --> 00:50:13.559 glad I tried that. This is not one of my 993 00:50:13.559 --> 00:50:14.239 favorite foods. 994 00:50:14.440 --> 00:50:17.480 Would you do? I don't think I'm gonna be that adventurous. 995 00:50:17.639 --> 00:50:22.400 It's like I'll try something, but with sushi, right, No, No, 996 00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:25.239 I mean it's not that I'm not I'm fine with 997 00:50:25.320 --> 00:50:27.119 just you. I don't like it, like it doesn't gross 998 00:50:27.159 --> 00:50:28.840 me out or anything. I just don't like sushi. I 999 00:50:28.920 --> 00:50:31.119 tried it again in Japan. I guess if people want 1000 00:50:31.159 --> 00:50:32.480 me to, I just don't really. 1001 00:50:32.679 --> 00:50:34.760 But it's like, you know, Japan's got all the foods 1002 00:50:34.760 --> 00:50:37.199 you get anywhere. They just make it better than everywhere else. 1003 00:50:37.280 --> 00:50:40.079 Yeah, I'm not really that worried about it. I'm sure 1004 00:50:40.079 --> 00:50:42.559 I'll find things to eat, right, Like, you know, I 1005 00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:45.360 could eat because I could eat ramen, I can eat curry, 1006 00:50:45.400 --> 00:50:49.000 I can eat the takatsu whatever, right, all that's tons 1007 00:50:49.039 --> 00:50:52.400 of They have kf season Fridays also, so whatever I. 1008 00:50:52.320 --> 00:50:55.440 Think Koko Ybani, I think you'd like a lot. Yeah. 1009 00:50:55.440 --> 00:50:56.639 Oh yeah. 1010 00:50:56.360 --> 00:50:59.920 Oh, the spice was so curry grub. The spice was 1011 00:51:00.119 --> 00:51:00.559 so good. 1012 00:51:01.079 --> 00:51:04.800 I know. It's like I am like, I've been laying 1013 00:51:04.840 --> 00:51:07.320 the groundwork for we should take the family to Japan 1014 00:51:07.480 --> 00:51:10.880 in several in a couple of years. It's that's gonna 1015 00:51:10.880 --> 00:51:12.400 be a little bit tougher than Disney to pull off. 1016 00:51:12.440 --> 00:51:13.280 A couple of years. 1017 00:51:13.800 --> 00:51:16.280 They have what's that they have? 1018 00:51:16.360 --> 00:51:18.159 Kirby's there, Okay they. 1019 00:51:20.079 --> 00:51:22.599 Yeah, yeah, like you know, in like three to five 1020 00:51:22.679 --> 00:51:25.320 years is what I'm thinking, Like, try to you know, 1021 00:51:25.519 --> 00:51:29.039 get save up, go there. Stefph is unsure because she's 1022 00:51:29.079 --> 00:51:31.079 like she's she doesn't like seafood, and she's imagines that's 1023 00:51:31.119 --> 00:51:34.079 all they have. No, No, I don't know, there's no 1024 00:51:34.719 --> 00:51:37.400 I know, right, I started explaining that and now it's like, no, 1025 00:51:37.679 --> 00:51:40.280 it's not just like different kinds, Like they really do 1026 00:51:40.679 --> 00:51:42.840 have some of the best food in the world. So yeah, 1027 00:51:43.119 --> 00:51:44.679 I'm trying to lay the ground work and we'll see 1028 00:51:44.679 --> 00:51:45.400 if we can make it happen. 1029 00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:50.000 Speaking about Kirby, the specific mall that Capcom brought us 1030 00:51:50.000 --> 00:51:54.440 to because Capcom had a store there. They had just 1031 00:51:54.480 --> 00:51:55.760 opened a Kirby Cafe. 1032 00:51:57.719 --> 00:52:00.679 That people in the game game. I know that now 1033 00:52:00.679 --> 00:52:01.599 because I played it with Mike. 1034 00:52:01.920 --> 00:52:03.480 Yeah, that's right. We did cook people. 1035 00:52:03.599 --> 00:52:06.639 Yes, so goddamn cute. This was like a little gotcha. 1036 00:52:06.679 --> 00:52:07.840 I was fantastic. 1037 00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:11.679 Uh all right, did you guys do that Kirby Star allies? 1038 00:52:11.840 --> 00:52:12.199 We did? 1039 00:52:12.239 --> 00:52:12.719 It was fun. 1040 00:52:13.840 --> 00:52:17.960 Yeah, it's got a weird game, as Kirbys do, but 1041 00:52:18.079 --> 00:52:20.039 it was a lot of fun in the double tap 1042 00:52:20.079 --> 00:52:24.280 to run run. It's weird and take some time to 1043 00:52:24.280 --> 00:52:26.280 get used to, but it is good. I see why. 1044 00:52:26.320 --> 00:52:26.719 It's good. 1045 00:52:27.119 --> 00:52:29.760 Thanks for sure bringing them through that, Mic ye with them. 1046 00:52:30.079 --> 00:52:34.039 Yeah, speaking about games that are good, Mike Minatti, you've 1047 00:52:34.039 --> 00:52:36.679 been playing Dragon Quest three h D two D. 1048 00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:37.480 Yeah. 1049 00:52:37.480 --> 00:52:39.239 I still been playing a lot of this. This has 1050 00:52:39.320 --> 00:52:42.079 kind of been my my go to game for the 1051 00:52:42.119 --> 00:52:45.239 holiday weekend, right kind of playing it not just like 1052 00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:47.679 for sleepy time. Even when I get up, especially on 1053 00:52:47.679 --> 00:52:49.400 those holiday days, I didn't really have to go and 1054 00:52:49.440 --> 00:52:51.239 do anything. I just kind of stayed in bed a 1055 00:52:51.239 --> 00:52:53.639 while longer. It's like, can played more Dragon Quest three 1056 00:52:53.880 --> 00:52:58.079 because it is just absolutely delightful, especially this the kind 1057 00:52:58.079 --> 00:53:00.360 of like fun mid part of the game where it 1058 00:53:00.440 --> 00:53:02.559 opens up. It's suddenlyys like you need to go get 1059 00:53:02.800 --> 00:53:04.840 all these orbs there's all these orbs you need to 1060 00:53:04.880 --> 00:53:09.280 get and they're all around the world. And if you 1061 00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:11.800 play the game without the kind of guiding on like 1062 00:53:11.840 --> 00:53:14.400 how it originally is, it's it's neat because you sort 1063 00:53:14.400 --> 00:53:17.199 of have to go wander around and actually explore and 1064 00:53:17.280 --> 00:53:19.599 talk to townspeople and they kind of give you clues or 1065 00:53:19.599 --> 00:53:21.719 tell you where to go, and that's fun. That's how 1066 00:53:21.760 --> 00:53:24.760 I did it when I played Dranquest three back when. 1067 00:53:25.280 --> 00:53:28.079 But this issue two you remake does have the we'll 1068 00:53:28.199 --> 00:53:29.840 just tell you where to go things, So it's also 1069 00:53:29.920 --> 00:53:32.840 fun because your world map just has all these circled 1070 00:53:32.840 --> 00:53:35.239 locations and you know you can just go there and 1071 00:53:35.440 --> 00:53:38.360 it'll get you going in the right direction. Yeah, it's 1072 00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:40.039 just I do really you know, that's not something you 1073 00:53:40.079 --> 00:53:43.079 have too much in JRPG specifically, it's kind of like 1074 00:53:43.159 --> 00:53:46.360 more open section where it's like there's like six different 1075 00:53:46.400 --> 00:53:48.960 threads you can pull on. Now there's generally more go 1076 00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:51.480 to this town, this dungeon, this town, this dungeon, and 1077 00:53:51.719 --> 00:53:54.199 there's side things you can do to kind of break 1078 00:53:54.239 --> 00:53:56.639 it up. But I really do like this structure. That's 1079 00:53:56.679 --> 00:53:58.719 a big part of why this game is so point 1080 00:53:58.760 --> 00:54:00.840 and the world map is a lot of fun because 1081 00:54:00.840 --> 00:54:03.800 it is just the world, so you are going to 1082 00:54:03.840 --> 00:54:08.079 places like it's version of Australia, right, And one of 1083 00:54:08.119 --> 00:54:09.719 the kind of more fun ones is you go to 1084 00:54:09.800 --> 00:54:12.639 the New World and it's you know, just the North America, 1085 00:54:12.840 --> 00:54:14.559 and you find a guy who wants to start a town, 1086 00:54:14.960 --> 00:54:17.760 so you have to have a merchant in your party, 1087 00:54:18.280 --> 00:54:20.440 and then you leave the merchant behind with him to 1088 00:54:20.480 --> 00:54:22.840 start the town. And now every like so often when 1089 00:54:22.880 --> 00:54:24.559 you go back to the town, it's a bit more 1090 00:54:24.599 --> 00:54:27.719 developed and there's more things to do there, and eventually 1091 00:54:27.719 --> 00:54:30.199 that leads to you getting another orb too. Just a 1092 00:54:30.239 --> 00:54:33.119 bunch of delightful stuff in Dragon Quest. Really really pleased 1093 00:54:33.119 --> 00:54:34.480 with this HG two D remake. 1094 00:54:35.599 --> 00:54:37.800 Yeah, I wish I had more time to check it out. 1095 00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:39.400 But there's too many RPGs this year. 1096 00:54:39.639 --> 00:54:42.320 There's too much, And that's how much. I'm like, I'm 1097 00:54:42.360 --> 00:54:45.920 holding like so many half started half begun games, half 1098 00:54:45.960 --> 00:54:48.199 finished games in my hands, and I'm like, it's stressing 1099 00:54:48.280 --> 00:54:50.639 me out, so I'm like, I'll just start something new instead. 1100 00:54:50.679 --> 00:54:52.920 But and then I see something like dragon Quest three 1101 00:54:52.920 --> 00:54:54.480 I'm interested in, and then I start I'm like, I 1102 00:54:54.519 --> 00:54:56.559 could finish this and this and this, and I just 1103 00:54:56.599 --> 00:54:57.239 feel guilty. 1104 00:54:57.320 --> 00:54:59.840 So is Brothership one of those? Are you kind of 1105 00:54:59.880 --> 00:55:00.760 like done with Brothership? 1106 00:55:00.800 --> 00:55:02.400 You want to brother Brothership is one I want to 1107 00:55:02.480 --> 00:55:04.840 keep playing a little bit. Yeah, but it's not not 1108 00:55:04.880 --> 00:55:06.920 a priority, especially as we get closer to the Game 1109 00:55:06.920 --> 00:55:07.280 of the year. 1110 00:55:07.519 --> 00:55:09.400 Yeah, not like a thousand your door for you. 1111 00:55:09.599 --> 00:55:11.880 Because because you'll hurt me. 1112 00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:18.440 Yes, speaking about finishing off little bits grub you put 1113 00:55:18.480 --> 00:55:20.079 on here Laura Lai and the Laser Eyes. 1114 00:55:20.239 --> 00:55:23.239 Yeah, I started this one up because I'm like, I'm one. 1115 00:55:23.440 --> 00:55:24.639 This is one of the ones I thought I might 1116 00:55:24.760 --> 00:55:27.400 like the first game of the yeartime.

So I'm 1122 00:55:41.760 --> 00:55:44.840 just sitting there going through this book, uh, answering these 1123 00:55:44.840 --> 00:55:47.320 problems in my head one after another, and you. 1124 00:55:47.280 --> 00:55:50.000 Should wrap those down because they're elsewhere. 1125 00:55:50.559 --> 00:55:52.880 Okay, all right, got Yeah, that's that's that's the thing. 1126 00:55:52.880 --> 00:55:55.400 I'm like, I'm not a huge note taker I'm not 1127 00:55:55.440 --> 00:55:59.599 a note taker at all in life, and especially with 1128 00:55:59.800 --> 00:56:03.559 me when I play games.

I'm getting 1130 00:56:05.039 --> 00:56:06.760 the sense I'm gonna have to write down stuff in 1131 00:56:06.760 --> 00:56:10.159 this one. So there is a note feature on the 1132 00:56:10.199 --> 00:56:15.360 Steam deck when you hit that left use damn, so 1133 00:56:15.360 --> 00:56:19.840 I'll misplace it. But I'm like, I got I guess 1134 00:56:19.880 --> 00:56:23.639 I am looking for some uh maybe tips to like 1135 00:56:24.400 --> 00:56:27.000 find some puzzles in the world that I can actually 1136 00:56:27.039 --> 00:56:31.639 interact with. Uh, I'm I got one on the wall 1137 00:56:31.639 --> 00:56:33.800 where it's like it says order and there's a picture 1138 00:56:33.840 --> 00:56:35.840 that's out of place, and I'm working on that one, 1139 00:56:35.920 --> 00:56:37.639 trying to figure that one out. I thought I had 1140 00:56:37.639 --> 00:56:40.760 a couple of good leads on that and either thing worked. 1141 00:56:41.079 --> 00:56:43.159 So I'm like, I don't know what I'm doing, Like 1142 00:56:43.199 --> 00:56:44.039 I'm kind of lost. 1143 00:56:44.400 --> 00:56:46.880 You kind of just got to poke around some stuff 1144 00:56:46.880 --> 00:56:51.039 you'll quickly learned doesn't matter to you in that moment, Like, right, 1145 00:56:51.239 --> 00:56:54.440 don't worry about any of the posters for in the beginning. 1146 00:56:54.599 --> 00:56:57.920 Yeah, we're kind of like moving past everything really quick. 1147 00:56:57.920 --> 00:56:59.960 I'm like, eventually I'll just stumble into the thing I'm 1148 00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:00.800 supposed to be working on it. 1149 00:57:00.880 --> 00:57:04.440 Follow if you see red in the world, that's gently 1150 00:57:04.480 --> 00:57:05.960 pushing you towards things that matter. 1151 00:57:06.079 --> 00:57:07.519 I feel as yellow you would have known. 1152 00:57:07.760 --> 00:57:11.559 Yeah, definitely put some white paint on this.

But like this 1156 00:57:19.360 --> 00:57:21.000 is weird. I'm like, am I playing the game or not. 1157 00:57:21.199 --> 00:57:23.679 It's very difficult, Like I was not able, Like I 1158 00:57:23.760 --> 00:57:26.280 love stuff like that, and I had to tap out 1159 00:57:26.280 --> 00:57:28.400 at a certain point, but like I very much respect 1160 00:57:28.440 --> 00:57:29.039 what it's doing. 1161 00:57:29.519 --> 00:57:31.400 Yeah, And that's like that's to me, that's like very 1162 00:57:31.519 --> 00:57:33.079 enticing because these are the kinds of puzzles that I 1163 00:57:34.039 --> 00:57:36.760 find I really enjoy throwing myself at, and I consider 1164 00:57:36.760 --> 00:57:38.440 myself pretty good at them. So I'm like, I want 1165 00:57:38.480 --> 00:57:40.159 to see if I can be up to this challenge, 1166 00:57:40.280 --> 00:57:43.000 and uh yeah, so far, it's like I'm just struggling 1167 00:57:43.039 --> 00:57:46.559 to find the puzzles and that that always irks me sometimes. 1168 00:57:46.599 --> 00:57:48.440 Although it's not so far here, it's like I think 1169 00:57:48.480 --> 00:57:50.599 I'm just not on this game's wavelength yet. Sure. 1170 00:57:51.119 --> 00:57:53.519 The game may also be longer than you expect it 1171 00:57:53.559 --> 00:57:57.360 to be grubbed because I thought I'd made decent headway 1172 00:57:57.400 --> 00:58:00.000 and progress and then I look at the in game 1173 00:58:00.039 --> 00:58:00.960 in progress, I'm. 1174 00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:02.039 Like, oh, well done. 1175 00:58:02.039 --> 00:58:03.119 Thirty percent of this game. 1176 00:58:03.199 --> 00:58:05.400 Shit, yeah, it seems like there's a lot to it. 1177 00:58:05.519 --> 00:58:08.920 Yeah. Yeah. Uh speaking about little updates, Dan, you have 1178 00:58:08.960 --> 00:58:11.559 a bunch of little updates on miscellaneous games. 1179 00:58:11.920 --> 00:58:14.519 Yeah, I just yeah, all the way in the Vampire 1180 00:58:14.599 --> 00:58:19.199 Survivor's whole again, I've restarted it and I'm like thirty 1181 00:58:19.199 --> 00:58:21.000 hours into it again. I'm like, oh, yeah, this is 1182 00:58:21.000 --> 00:58:23.440 probably one of my favorite games of all time. Casavania stuff. 1183 00:58:23.480 --> 00:58:25.639 I think I'm at the very end of unlocking everything 1184 00:58:25.639 --> 00:58:28.480 for that and that level and all of the stuff 1185 00:58:28.519 --> 00:58:30.880 that goes into it is such a like, like I 1186 00:58:30.960 --> 00:58:32.760 like all the maps and Vampire Survivors, but this is 1187 00:58:32.800 --> 00:58:35.960 one that feels like a game in itself basically, And 1188 00:58:36.360 --> 00:58:39.000 so yeah, absolutely loving that still Call of Duty, also 1189 00:58:39.119 --> 00:58:40.840 playing a bunch of that, played a bunch with Kayla. 1190 00:58:41.119 --> 00:58:43.000 It was real fun, Like brought a laptop and she 1191 00:58:43.039 --> 00:58:45.199 was on the big screen. Just double XP weekend, playing 1192 00:58:45.199 --> 00:58:46.199 a shit ton of. 1193 00:58:46.119 --> 00:58:48.920 That Prestige I Prestige in a call of Duty for 1194 00:58:48.960 --> 00:58:49.800 the first time ever. 1195 00:58:50.159 --> 00:58:52.639 I've proceid rehearst time since like maybe Modern Worker two 1196 00:58:52.920 --> 00:58:55.000 or Call of Duty four, Like, it's been a long 1197 00:58:55.039 --> 00:58:57.960 fucking time, and I Prestige.

It's just like a 1207 00:59:13.760 --> 00:59:15.960 lot of like watching people run around and shoot it 1208 00:59:16.079 --> 00:59:17.480 barrels and cones. 1209 00:59:17.559 --> 00:59:19.119 You know, did you see that? Did you see the 1210 00:59:19.119 --> 00:59:21.519 clip of my brother trying to shoot somebody as a 1211 00:59:21.559 --> 00:59:24.519 toilet for a while and missing? That might sell you on. 1212 00:59:24.599 --> 00:59:26.960 It ended up being play the game and like this 1213 00:59:27.039 --> 00:59:29.639 toilet is just like going. It's like they're they're like 1214 00:59:30.079 --> 00:59:32.760 opposite sides of a pool table, right, It's kind of 1215 00:59:32.760 --> 00:59:36.880 like he's trying to just toilet as it's jumping up 1216 00:59:36.960 --> 00:59:38.519 and down. I was dying. 1217 00:59:39.840 --> 00:59:41.679 Outside of that, obviously, I was traveling, so a lot 1218 00:59:41.679 --> 00:59:43.840 of steam deck like Vampire Survivors called it with Kayla, 1219 00:59:44.039 --> 00:59:47.320 and then I joined her streams for she beat Metal 1220 00:59:47.360 --> 00:59:49.960 Gear Solid four, which is still just I think the 1221 00:59:49.960 --> 00:59:52.159 best story I've ever seen in a game. Uh, And 1222 00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:55.320 I saw her beat Silent Hill too, So now I've 1223 00:59:55.320 --> 00:59:57.800 at least seen most of Silent Hill too. I think 1224 00:59:57.800 --> 00:59:59.119 I have a lot more respect for now that I 1225 00:59:59.159 --> 01:00:01.480 kind of understand. Oh, it's more than just a spooky town. 1226 01:00:01.920 --> 01:00:06.920 It's actually unbelievably sad. Oh yeah, yeah, learning about like 1227 01:00:07.000 --> 01:00:08.840 neither of us like the credits rolled and both of 1228 01:00:08.880 --> 01:00:10.280 us were like, what the fuck was that? And then 1229 01:00:10.280 --> 01:00:12.480 people explained it to us and we were like, oh, 1230 01:00:12.519 --> 01:00:17.079 that's real sad. Yeah, that was some pretty uh harsh 1231 01:00:17.519 --> 01:00:20.159 rough themes for a game to be dealing with, and 1232 01:00:20.320 --> 01:00:23.079 uh wowsers. It seems like they did a mostly good 1233 01:00:23.159 --> 01:00:23.719 job with that. 1234 01:00:23.840 --> 01:00:25.440 I think that's the response they were going for. 1235 01:00:25.599 --> 01:00:26.519 Yow wowsers. 1236 01:00:26.639 --> 01:00:28.199 Yeah, that's the back of the box quote. You can 1237 01:00:28.320 --> 01:00:29.360 use that for the rikers. 1238 01:00:30.920 --> 01:00:34.480 Oh God, I really like Silent Hill to remake, and 1239 01:00:34.719 --> 01:00:36.320 that kind of get a little bit further away from 1240 01:00:36.360 --> 01:00:37.960 having been in and or closer to the end of 1241 01:00:37.960 --> 01:00:40.880 the year, I'm like, that's pretty high in my estimation 1242 01:00:40.960 --> 01:00:42.719 for the year. Actually it's not quite like, you know, 1243 01:00:43.039 --> 01:00:45.320 a top three contender for me, but it's going to 1244 01:00:45.400 --> 01:00:47.679 be high up there. I was really impressed with that. 1245 01:00:48.000 --> 01:00:49.239 Ma I'm with him, Mike. 1246 01:00:49.320 --> 01:00:52.079 Yeah, I'm not used to the idea of like the 1247 01:00:52.159 --> 01:00:55.440 dude I'm playing in a game being shitty. I'm used 1248 01:00:55.440 --> 01:00:57.199 to playing games. It's like you're the hero, You're the 1249 01:00:57.239 --> 01:00:59.559 doom guy, You're the cool, solid snake, you know. And 1250 01:00:59.599 --> 01:01:01.039 this is like at the end of this and learning 1251 01:01:01.079 --> 01:01:02.960 like what this guy was, it's like, I don't like 1252 01:01:02.960 --> 01:01:03.440 this guy. 1253 01:01:03.280 --> 01:01:04.760 And I was controlling him. That sucks. 1254 01:01:04.920 --> 01:01:07.840 Like I'm not used to that, and that was pretty 1255 01:01:07.840 --> 01:01:10.239 interesting to see.

If not, but nobody wouldn't be 1314 01:03:43.159 --> 01:03:45.480 right it's probably in the it's probably in the preview, 1315 01:03:45.920 --> 01:03:48.719 or or maybe like a like they had like an 1316 01:03:48.760 --> 01:03:50.519 E three special with this game at E three. I 1317 01:03:50.519 --> 01:03:53.280 guess it would have been yeah, something like that, or 1318 01:03:53.280 --> 01:03:55.320 it could have even like been in like some real 1319 01:03:55.400 --> 01:03:58.280 player media or something that they like saw the game 1320 01:03:58.320 --> 01:03:58.880 and called it that. 1321 01:03:59.280 --> 01:04:03.119 Okay, guys, I'm handling with chips poo peo pew.

I don't even like pie. 1328 01:04:22.719 --> 01:04:25.320 Mike Manati speaking about things you do, like though you 1329 01:04:25.360 --> 01:04:28.679 have been playing Mega Man ever, cade actually don't know this. 1330 01:04:29.480 --> 01:04:32.559 Yeah, well so so tam got set uh I think 1331 01:04:32.599 --> 01:04:34.280 the street Fighter one that they came out with and 1332 01:04:34.400 --> 01:04:37.039 talked about it, and then I was like, oh, I 1333 01:04:37.039 --> 01:04:38.639 was looking. I was like, wait, there's a Mega Man 1334 01:04:38.760 --> 01:04:41.360 one of these, and I like Mega Man a lot. 1335 01:04:42.480 --> 01:04:45.960 So I just asked them nicely and they sent me one. 1336 01:04:46.159 --> 01:04:48.519 So that was great. And it's right over there behind me. 1337 01:04:48.559 --> 01:04:51.480 If you're watching what these are, they're kind of miniature 1338 01:04:51.559 --> 01:04:56.239 little bar top arcade machines. This one comes with the 1339 01:04:56.280 --> 01:04:58.559 two Mega Man arcade games, which are kind of like 1340 01:04:58.679 --> 01:05:01.400 just boss rushes and they can co op played, which 1341 01:05:01.440 --> 01:05:05.920 is neat. It has Final Fight, Strider Nice in the round, 1342 01:05:06.119 --> 01:05:08.679 and one shooting game. I forgot always forget the name 1343 01:05:08.719 --> 01:05:11.239 of the shooting game, like a shmump of some kind. 1344 01:05:11.320 --> 01:05:13.239 So like the Street Fighter wants all those like fighting games, 1345 01:05:13.239 --> 01:05:18.360 this is more like capcom other more actiony arcade games, 1346 01:05:18.360 --> 01:05:20.639 which is a lot of fun stuff. I love Final Fight, 1347 01:05:20.639 --> 01:05:23.199 I love Strider, and obviously I love the Mega Man's 1348 01:05:23.639 --> 01:05:25.360 so and you know, playing it it feels good. You 1349 01:05:25.480 --> 01:05:27.840 got one set of you know, the joystick and the 1350 01:05:27.880 --> 01:05:30.559 buttons there, but you can also connect controllers to it 1351 01:05:30.599 --> 01:05:33.320 through Bluetooth or whatever, so you can't do two player 1352 01:05:33.440 --> 01:05:36.119 on some of the two player games, but also weren't 1353 01:05:36.119 --> 01:05:39.000 anything else. I just love it as a decoration, right, Yeah, 1354 01:05:39.039 --> 01:05:39.639 it looks nice. 1355 01:05:39.760 --> 01:05:39.920 Yeah. 1356 01:05:39.960 --> 01:05:42.400 I got the street Fighter Arcade one up, and it's 1357 01:05:42.400 --> 01:05:43.880 just like I played it like once or twice, which 1358 01:05:43.920 --> 01:05:45.840 is gotten a track screen for Street Fighter going all 1359 01:05:45.840 --> 01:05:46.079 the time. 1360 01:05:46.119 --> 01:05:48.280 I like that. Yeah, yeah, is that anytime I'm streaming 1361 01:05:48.280 --> 01:05:49.639 now or something? I get to pick one of these 1362 01:05:49.719 --> 01:05:51.239 games that just kind of let it play in the 1363 01:05:51.280 --> 01:05:53.559 demo mode back there, and I think it looks nice. 1364 01:05:53.639 --> 01:05:56.679 I can actually swap out the Marquee because it's megamun 1365 01:05:56.760 --> 01:05:59.239 right now, but it also came with the Marquee cards 1366 01:05:59.239 --> 01:06:01.320 for I think Final Fight and Streider. I'll probably just 1367 01:06:01.400 --> 01:06:03.960 keep Mega Man in there because that's you know what 1368 01:06:04.079 --> 01:06:07.159 I like. I like the ARKDE one up stuff for sure, 1369 01:06:07.639 --> 01:06:11.360 and this is smaller than that obviously, right, but let's 1370 01:06:11.360 --> 01:06:12.920 think about this. Is you just take it out and 1371 01:06:12.920 --> 01:06:15.239 it's all there. The RKE one up doesn't require quite 1372 01:06:15.239 --> 01:06:19.280 a bit of putting together for as much as you 1373 01:06:19.320 --> 01:06:21.440 do actually play these things. For most people, part of 1374 01:06:21.440 --> 01:06:23.239 me is like, look, the RK one up is already 1375 01:06:23.239 --> 01:06:26.559 a smaller version. I know it's more of us freestanding 1376 01:06:26.679 --> 01:06:28.639 arcade thing, but I'm like, yeah, this thing is almost 1377 01:06:28.639 --> 01:06:30.679 more convenient in some ways and gives me a similar 1378 01:06:30.679 --> 01:06:33.840 experience and it's easier to kind of move around and stuff. 1379 01:06:34.519 --> 01:06:37.039 But the ever cade they take cartridges, like you could 1380 01:06:37.039 --> 01:06:39.679 buy cartridges and there's two cartridge slots so I could 1381 01:06:39.920 --> 01:06:40.880 get more games. 1382 01:06:41.119 --> 01:06:43.320 They have the affordable thing too that Yeah, the everricade 1383 01:06:43.320 --> 01:06:45.760 cartridges and stuff. They did they send it to you 1384 01:06:45.800 --> 01:06:47.639 after you said you liked Mega Man on this podcast. 1385 01:06:48.519 --> 01:06:50.920 No, I just had to reach out to those specifically 1386 01:06:50.960 --> 01:06:52.880 because Tam talked about Industry Fighter. 1387 01:06:52.840 --> 01:06:55.360 I always want to try something I have always enjoyed 1388 01:06:55.400 --> 01:07:00.360 Mega Man. Let's just see if that works. Okay, okay, 1389 01:07:00.440 --> 01:07:05.360 I don't understand. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1390 01:07:04.320 --> 01:07:05.519 I love jacking in. 1391 01:07:07.960 --> 01:07:13.199 We know everybody yeah on that street.

But yeah, I do find myself like picking 1441 01:09:11.399 --> 01:09:13.199 up these for different use cases for sure. 1442 01:09:13.560 --> 01:09:17.199 Yeah. These also make like good gifts for theies in 1443 01:09:17.239 --> 01:09:17.800 your life. 1444 01:09:18.079 --> 01:09:20.920 Yeah, and they're like relatively affordable. Yeah, you know the 1445 01:09:22.239 --> 01:09:24.279 I guess you could like clone like one SD card 1446 01:09:24.319 --> 01:09:26.399 and clone it yourself, so you don't like buy the 1447 01:09:26.520 --> 01:09:29.600 preloaded dusty card from Like that's how keep Retro does it. 1448 01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:31.720 Like you could just pay a little extra and they'll 1449 01:09:31.720 --> 01:09:33.000 just send you an SD card. There's a bunch of 1450 01:09:33.000 --> 01:09:34.960 games on it, and I did do that. I do 1451 01:09:35.119 --> 01:09:37.880 like that, but it is also fun setting it up yourself. 1452 01:09:37.920 --> 01:09:40.000 But once you start doing it as gifts, there's a 1453 01:09:40.039 --> 01:09:42.520 handful that are like these are cheap and they come 1454 01:09:42.560 --> 01:09:44.640 set up. Just get those and send them out to friends, 1455 01:09:44.680 --> 01:09:46.960 and most people appreciate, especially if they have the Easy 1456 01:09:47.079 --> 01:09:48.399 UI installed already. 1457 01:09:48.399 --> 01:09:50.439 I find a lot of them are afraid of Nintendo 1458 01:09:51.560 --> 01:09:54.000 pursuing them because they'll have like every game except for 1459 01:09:54.039 --> 01:09:55.560 like nothing first party Nintendo. 1460 01:09:55.640 --> 01:09:58.920 So you just that's a recent development. Yeah, they used 1461 01:09:58.920 --> 01:10:02.000 to not care and last couple of years weird, huh, 1462 01:10:02.079 --> 01:10:04.760 a little less a gung ho on including Nintendo stuff. 1463 01:10:04.840 --> 01:10:05.520 Yeah. 1464 01:10:05.560 --> 01:10:08.960 God, I'm just looking at all these dumb handhelds I 1465 01:10:09.000 --> 01:10:10.920 don't need, but I kind of fun. 1466 01:10:12.079 --> 01:10:14.239 Yeah, I think I think I'm like, I'm looking for 1467 01:10:14.319 --> 01:10:17.720 one more after this will probably be has a much 1468 01:10:17.760 --> 01:10:20.439 bigger screen. I think. I think we're kind of getting 1469 01:10:20.720 --> 01:10:23.399 to that point where they're gonna have like seven eight 1470 01:10:23.399 --> 01:10:26.239 inch screens on these that will be relatively affordable, so that. 1471 01:10:26.359 --> 01:10:28.119 When I see Chad saying, oh, I wouldn't mind collecting 1472 01:10:28.159 --> 01:10:29.920 these except the batteries and all of them are taking 1473 01:10:29.960 --> 01:10:32.279 time bomb, Wouldn't that be great if I don't use 1474 01:10:32.359 --> 01:10:34.479 the like any kind of the the gas line of 1475 01:10:34.520 --> 01:10:36.399 my porch because I'm afraid it's gonna blow out my house, 1476 01:10:36.520 --> 01:10:38.520 and then eventually my house blows up because I just 1477 01:10:38.560 --> 01:10:41.000 have way too many. 1478 01:10:42.159 --> 01:10:44.800 Oh gosh, you're gonna have to move into that hotel 1479 01:10:44.880 --> 01:10:48.520 or whatever. Smoke I'll start smoking, I guess. 1480 01:10:48.600 --> 01:10:51.920 Yeah, Well, Dan, if you need any packs of cigarettes, 1481 01:10:51.960 --> 01:10:54.560 I may or may not have you. Okay in l 1482 01:10:54.600 --> 01:10:59.800 a boy speaking by smoking cigarettes, you may be inclined 1483 01:10:59.800 --> 01:11:02.319 to you his mouthwash after that, just like the game 1484 01:11:02.800 --> 01:11:05.319 I've been playing, and I beat Mouthwashing? 1485 01:11:05.439 --> 01:11:06.000 You beat it? 1486 01:11:10.319 --> 01:11:11.119 How long was it? 1487 01:11:12.239 --> 01:11:34.199 And half come back? I thought we lost the show Mouthwashing. 1488 01:11:34.319 --> 01:11:37.119 I clocked in about two and a half hours. Grub. 1489 01:11:37.199 --> 01:11:39.119 I know you were talking about doing a stream on 1490 01:11:39.199 --> 01:11:41.920 Wednesday and or Thursday of trying to cap off some 1491 01:11:42.359 --> 01:11:44.439 miscllaneous Game of the Year candidates. 1492 01:11:45.279 --> 01:11:47.279 Maybe this could be one of that. 1493 01:11:48.079 --> 01:11:53.439 The list is a first person horror psychological game. 1494 01:11:54.199 --> 01:11:54.760 You are. 1495 01:11:55.680 --> 01:11:58.880 You take control of a couple of people on the 1496 01:11:58.920 --> 01:11:59.680 spaceship the. 1497 01:11:59.680 --> 01:12:02.199 Toll Bar And said, and also I follow up to 1498 01:12:02.239 --> 01:12:06.920 that fish game I played during ah guest. 1499 01:12:07.319 --> 01:12:08.399 Maybe the same devs. 1500 01:12:08.800 --> 01:12:09.680 I mean, we'll look it up. 1501 01:12:10.640 --> 01:12:16.079 Mouthwashing. I really really enjoyed it and the story it 1502 01:12:16.159 --> 01:12:18.079 had to tell. For folks that are a little bit 1503 01:12:18.119 --> 01:12:20.720 squeamish and get a little spooked too easily. There are 1504 01:12:20.760 --> 01:12:24.960 a couple jump scares, not too much in there that 1505 01:12:25.439 --> 01:12:27.920 will ruin your night or ruin your day, or increase 1506 01:12:27.960 --> 01:12:33.000 your blood pressure too much. My gripes with a game though, 1507 01:12:33.399 --> 01:12:36.680 is for the most part, you're just going from point 1508 01:12:36.680 --> 01:12:39.319 A to point B, talking to your crew, figuring out 1509 01:12:39.359 --> 01:12:44.000 small little puzzles. Is the bits where they introduce now 1510 01:12:44.039 --> 01:12:49.079 you kind of got a stealth around aspects of the game, 1511 01:12:49.840 --> 01:12:52.159 or else you will have to restart a level, or 1512 01:12:52.199 --> 01:12:56.000 maybe they suddenly give you a weapon and you have 1513 01:12:56.079 --> 01:12:59.760 to clunkily use that weapon, and sure it's probably designed 1514 01:12:59.760 --> 01:13:02.359 instea away where it is supposed to be clunky, but 1515 01:13:02.439 --> 01:13:05.000 that kind of hampered my enjoyment of the game. The 1516 01:13:05.039 --> 01:13:08.399 story that they have to tell absolutely basshit insane. The 1517 01:13:08.439 --> 01:13:13.560 game is called Mouthwashing. But you are on a spaceship 1518 01:13:14.079 --> 01:13:18.920 deliver like a delivery ship, and you are just a 1519 01:13:18.920 --> 01:13:22.479 cargo ship, and you're a crew of five, and you 1520 01:13:22.520 --> 01:13:26.680 figure out the different dynamics that descend when you kind 1521 01:13:26.680 --> 01:13:29.920 of get marooned in space with four other folks and 1522 01:13:30.159 --> 01:13:34.039 limited supplies start to get scarce, and maybe there's some 1523 01:13:34.840 --> 01:13:39.079 funky jazz going on in between the characters. If you're 1524 01:13:39.119 --> 01:13:41.520 looking for a quick two and a half hour, three 1525 01:13:41.560 --> 01:13:45.760 hour scary, spooky game to cap off the year. Highly 1526 01:13:45.840 --> 01:13:49.119 highly recommend mouthwashing if you're looking for an existential crisis 1527 01:13:49.159 --> 01:13:51.119 game and you don't want to play a long game 1528 01:13:51.159 --> 01:13:54.439 like a thousand X resist or metaphor and you just 1529 01:13:54.479 --> 01:14:01.000 want to slowly disassociate in space about if this is perhaps, 1530 01:14:01.840 --> 01:14:04.920 uh you'll only ever measure up because of your mistakes, 1531 01:14:05.119 --> 01:14:07.720 then that is for all right. 1532 01:14:08.319 --> 01:14:10.079 I think this is from the dove the data how 1533 01:14:10.119 --> 01:14:12.720 fish is made. So if you watch that a few 1534 01:14:12.720 --> 01:14:15.319 weeks back that we played and we're interested, you got 1535 01:14:15.359 --> 01:14:15.920 to follow up. 1536 01:14:16.159 --> 01:14:17.720 I was what you said in mouthw washing and trying 1537 01:14:17.720 --> 01:14:19.279 to picture what it was, and it made me think, 1538 01:14:19.439 --> 01:14:23.319 would it be good DLC for powerwash simulator if you're 1539 01:14:23.359 --> 01:14:26.000 a little dude in a gross mouth and you got 1540 01:14:26.039 --> 01:14:28.199 to clean up teeth and like really get in there, 1541 01:14:28.319 --> 01:14:28.640 get the. 1542 01:14:29.159 --> 01:14:30.399 The string guys. 1543 01:14:30.800 --> 01:14:35.920 Yeah, guy run in there with some power hose, black remover. 1544 01:14:35.640 --> 01:14:37.439 Stuff, ginge of vitis. 1545 01:14:37.520 --> 01:14:39.880 That might be I don't like two stuff, but like 1546 01:14:39.880 --> 01:14:42.319 I feel like that would be satisfying, right, Yeah. 1547 01:14:42.319 --> 01:14:44.640 I think if they do it in like a stylized 1548 01:14:44.680 --> 01:14:47.479 way a little bit, so it's not like photorealistic mouth 1549 01:14:47.479 --> 01:14:47.920 that I'm in. 1550 01:14:48.079 --> 01:14:50.960 No photo people like that are yeah, ye. 1551 01:14:52.680 --> 01:14:53.359 Put me in the mouth. 1552 01:14:53.439 --> 01:14:53.720 Yeah. 1553 01:14:54.079 --> 01:14:58.520 This game passed. Uh, definitely passed my my screenshot test 1554 01:14:58.880 --> 01:15:02.399 of playing through it, because as I kept hitting F 1555 01:15:02.439 --> 01:15:05.159 twelve I was playing, was like, Damn, that's a bar. 1556 01:15:05.600 --> 01:15:08.800 Damn that's a bar. Damn that's a bar one of them. 1557 01:15:09.199 --> 01:15:10.920 This is a little bit like game. This won't give 1558 01:15:11.079 --> 01:15:13.840 you any spoilers, though. One of the characters is just 1559 01:15:14.279 --> 01:15:17.479 saying I hoped I could raise my children to be 1560 01:15:17.479 --> 01:15:19.640 better than their old man. And then I was like, God, 1561 01:15:19.760 --> 01:15:21.920 damn it, this fucking game. I didn't want to think 1562 01:15:22.119 --> 01:15:24.439 this hard. I didn't want to feel this hard. So 1563 01:15:24.479 --> 01:15:27.760 I'm gonna go take quick bricky break and then we'll 1564 01:15:27.800 --> 01:15:34.960 talk about the news right after this grub. Is there 1565 01:15:35.000 --> 01:15:37.359 anything I can do to get you to do the 1566 01:15:37.359 --> 01:15:42.920 news segment? What if I play the music, I'll work 1567 01:15:42.960 --> 01:15:43.359 them up? 1568 01:15:43.600 --> 01:15:47.640 Yeah, you get them? 1569 01:15:47.680 --> 01:15:49.960 Okay, all right, he's alive. 1570 01:15:54.119 --> 01:15:55.840 He's shaking the ropes like my taste. 1571 01:15:57.760 --> 01:16:02.319 I'll no, no, no, now, of course not all right. Yeah. 1572 01:16:02.319 --> 01:16:05.159 We got some news here from softworing not really considering 1573 01:16:05.199 --> 01:16:08.920 Eldering two development from software director Hittiteka Miyazaki says the 1574 01:16:08.960 --> 01:16:12.720 studio is not currently considering an Elderring sequel. Miyazaki mentioned 1575 01:16:12.720 --> 01:16:16.439 the studios working on diverse projects, but didn't provide specific details. 1576 01:16:17.359 --> 01:16:21.319 You know, the game did very well. Elden Ring twenty 1577 01:16:21.319 --> 01:16:24.439 five million copies sold, and it continues to sell, will 1578 01:16:24.479 --> 01:16:26.880 continue to sell for years. They had the DLC that 1579 01:16:26.920 --> 01:16:32.119 was very successful this year after the DLC. I'm a 1580 01:16:32.159 --> 01:16:33.920 little bit it's a little bit easier to understand that 1581 01:16:33.960 --> 01:16:35.640 because it's like, Okay, now, this does feel like a 1582 01:16:35.680 --> 01:16:37.600 package that we can just sell for a long time 1583 01:16:37.960 --> 01:16:39.680 and they don't need to rush into elder Ring two. 1584 01:16:39.680 --> 01:16:41.680 I think when eld Ring one first came out and 1585 01:16:41.720 --> 01:16:43.880 it was doing so, it's like, well, obviously they just 1586 01:16:43.920 --> 01:16:46.520 do elder Ring two next, because that'll be the thing 1587 01:16:46.560 --> 01:16:49.359 that just does so well. But seemed like it took 1588 01:16:49.600 --> 01:16:51.640 way longer for them. It did take way longer for 1589 01:16:51.680 --> 01:16:53.600 them to make this one than any of their other games, 1590 01:16:54.079 --> 01:16:55.760 and I think maybe they were like, let's try some 1591 01:16:55.800 --> 01:16:58.199 other stuff in the meantime. Well, Eldering continues to do 1592 01:16:58.239 --> 01:17:01.199 its thing. That's fine for them. How do you got 1593 01:17:01.199 --> 01:17:02.960 how are you guys feeling about you know, the future 1594 01:17:03.039 --> 01:17:04.520 from soft in the games they might be making. 1595 01:17:04.760 --> 01:17:07.319 Yeah, I still am curious, like, because can they really 1596 01:17:07.359 --> 01:17:10.319 go back to more of that Dark Souls Bloodborne? 1597 01:17:10.560 --> 01:17:11.119 Right? Uh? 1598 01:17:11.239 --> 01:17:14.800 Sekao slightly smaller scale now or even the next game 1599 01:17:14.880 --> 01:17:18.159 is not Elder Ring two, is it's still something of 1600 01:17:18.199 --> 01:17:21.720 that scale, like well, now, hey yeah, it's blood Born too, 1601 01:17:21.840 --> 01:17:24.039 but it's that scale of Valor Ring. It's a giant 1602 01:17:24.079 --> 01:17:28.000 open world now, because that's what people really really really liked, right. 1603 01:17:28.199 --> 01:17:30.720 I know some of the Souls die Hard still prefer 1604 01:17:30.800 --> 01:17:33.479 that Dark Soul style for sure, but I'm not like 1605 01:17:33.600 --> 01:17:36.520 expecting Dark Souls four or something like that. I mean, 1606 01:17:36.560 --> 01:17:38.760 they have a completely new trick up their sleeve, right, 1607 01:17:38.760 --> 01:17:43.920 But it's it's very hard in this industry to scale back, right, 1608 01:17:43.960 --> 01:17:47.520 Everybody expects bigger, bigger, and bigger, especially when you were 1609 01:17:47.600 --> 01:17:51.600 kind of reaping rewards from that. They're in a position 1610 01:17:51.600 --> 01:17:53.640 where they can kind of do what they want to 1611 01:17:53.720 --> 01:17:56.680 a degree. It'll be very interesting to see what that is. 1612 01:17:58.159 --> 01:17:59.199 Yeah, I think they. 1613 01:17:59.359 --> 01:18:01.560 Go back to you Armored Corps. 1614 01:18:02.039 --> 01:18:03.760 They'll do another Armored Corp. Yeah they will. 1615 01:18:04.439 --> 01:18:06.439 I bet they will. I mean but even then, right, 1616 01:18:06.520 --> 01:18:09.960 like Armored Core six the best knowing Armored Corps, but 1617 01:18:10.000 --> 01:18:17.319 it did to do twenty five million copies, like freaking 1618 01:18:17.880 --> 01:18:19.880 the name for elden Ring Metal Chaos. 1619 01:18:19.960 --> 01:18:24.359 Yeah, yeah, I think that they probably just sprinkle in 1620 01:18:24.399 --> 01:18:26.079 a couple of different things here in the next uh 1621 01:18:26.239 --> 01:18:28.560 you know, five six, seven years where it'll be there 1622 01:18:28.600 --> 01:18:30.600 probably will be something a can to a Dark Souls. 1623 01:18:30.760 --> 01:18:33.600 They probably do go back do something that way. In 1624 01:18:33.640 --> 01:18:38.319 the meantime while they began prototyping the next big massive 1625 01:18:38.319 --> 01:18:40.680 open world game, whether that's elden Ring two or something else, 1626 01:18:40.680 --> 01:18:42.359 but that'll take a really long time, and they seem 1627 01:18:42.439 --> 01:18:45.640 to want to keep things fresh and have a you know, 1628 01:18:45.760 --> 01:18:47.960 a game every couple of years. That's what they've been 1629 01:18:48.000 --> 01:18:50.039 able to do. And I think they're going to kind 1630 01:18:50.039 --> 01:18:52.840 of keep trying to do that. And I think, you know, 1631 01:18:53.399 --> 01:18:56.960 they will set the scope appropriately, right, Like the problem 1632 01:18:57.079 --> 01:18:58.800 is the next thing if it's not a big open 1633 01:18:58.840 --> 01:19:01.760 world thing, actually probably we won't sell twenty five million copies. 1634 01:19:01.920 --> 01:19:04.279 But that means just scope it appropriately and know what 1635 01:19:04.319 --> 01:19:06.399 it is and try to hit your audience really hard. 1636 01:19:06.439 --> 01:19:09.079 And then as you are approaching to do an ald 1637 01:19:09.159 --> 01:19:12.640 Ring two or whatever, at that point, you didn't like 1638 01:19:12.800 --> 01:19:15.560 waste all your money expecting the next one of these 1639 01:19:15.600 --> 01:19:18.079 games to do twenty five million copies. That would be 1640 01:19:18.079 --> 01:19:23.239 a problem. New PlayStation handheld report has been backed up 1641 01:19:23.319 --> 01:19:26.960 by Digital Foundry. Now. Digital Foundry corroborates Bloomberg's report that 1642 01:19:27.000 --> 01:19:30.479 Sony is working on a new PlayStation handheld. Sony's handheld 1643 01:19:30.479 --> 01:19:33.359 console is still in the early stages of development and 1644 01:19:33.520 --> 01:19:37.039 years away from release. Digital Foundry has heard rumors about 1645 01:19:37.039 --> 01:19:40.319 the handheld for several months. The future of offering a 1646 01:19:40.359 --> 01:19:44.399 handheld in home console options seems likely for Sony. Microsoft 1647 01:19:44.439 --> 01:19:47.760 is also working on handheld gaming prototypes, but any potential 1648 01:19:47.800 --> 01:19:50.640 device is also still years away. So it's like a 1649 01:19:50.680 --> 01:19:55.319 lot of smoke here. Now. It's interesting. It's like everyone 1650 01:19:55.359 --> 01:19:58.640 hears about this, and also it's very early in development 1651 01:19:59.000 --> 01:20:00.840 at the same time, so not like people are like 1652 01:20:00.880 --> 01:20:04.079 steaming prototypes. It is, no, they're considering doing this, but 1653 01:20:04.119 --> 01:20:06.439 they must be so serious about it, and everyone is 1654 01:20:06.479 --> 01:20:07.079 hearing about it. 1655 01:20:07.159 --> 01:20:09.319 Right, Everyone's gonna have to have one of these, you know, 1656 01:20:09.840 --> 01:20:12.520 you know, this stuff is like seven years maybe away, 1657 01:20:12.720 --> 01:20:14.960 but that's about the time where, yeah, you're definitely gonna 1658 01:20:15.359 --> 01:20:17.000 need to have one of these on the market. 1659 01:20:17.479 --> 01:20:20.119 Yeah, yeah, by seven years, you absolutely have. Now, when 1660 01:20:20.199 --> 01:20:23.680 I went down to Sokal to go to Disneyland and Universal. 1661 01:20:24.079 --> 01:20:28.680 Over Thanksgiving break at my hotel, this dude had uh 1662 01:20:29.680 --> 01:20:32.439 busted out a gigantic gaming laptop and had like a 1663 01:20:32.479 --> 01:20:35.319 controller and everything, just hanging out in the lobby and 1664 01:20:35.359 --> 01:20:37.079 then I was also kind of getting some quiet time 1665 01:20:37.079 --> 01:20:39.520 and I bust out my Steam deck. He walks over 1666 01:20:39.600 --> 01:20:41.840 and it's like what what is that? 1667 01:20:42.359 --> 01:20:43.359 Well, what are you doing? 1668 01:20:43.840 --> 01:20:46.560 And like do you have good news for it? I'm like, sir, 1669 01:20:46.720 --> 01:20:48.600 let me welcome you to the future. This is a 1670 01:20:48.720 --> 01:20:51.439 Steam deck. And then he's like, wait, what you could 1671 01:20:51.439 --> 01:20:54.720 play PC games on that? And then he was like 1672 01:20:54.760 --> 01:20:57.000 can you can you mod that thing? Can you put 1673 01:20:57.039 --> 01:20:59.840 stuff in that? I'm like, you could pull whatever you want. 1674 01:21:01.800 --> 01:21:02.039 Yeah. 1675 01:21:02.079 --> 01:21:06.119 So I think, Mike, you're right. PlayStation Xbox moving forward, 1676 01:21:06.119 --> 01:21:08.600 they're going to need one of these, Like a handheld 1677 01:21:08.600 --> 01:21:10.439 that's going to need one. It's going to be it's 1678 01:21:10.439 --> 01:21:13.079 going to be a skill you have to have going forward. 1679 01:21:13.199 --> 01:21:15.399 At some point it might be the only skill. Isn't 1680 01:21:15.399 --> 01:21:17.680 it wild that like VR was not the thing that 1681 01:21:17.720 --> 01:21:19.960 panned out, but handhelds were. 1682 01:21:20.560 --> 01:21:21.880 Yeah, good call by Nintendo. 1683 01:21:21.960 --> 01:21:25.279 Huh yeah yeah yeah, yeah, Like I think I always 1684 01:21:25.319 --> 01:21:26.600 kind of felt that way where it's like, if there 1685 01:21:26.720 --> 01:21:29.720 is this thing that could be something, but please just 1686 01:21:29.720 --> 01:21:32.479 give me a cool handheld. But obviously that to me, 1687 01:21:32.600 --> 01:21:37.920 So yeah, i'll, we'll, I guess see at some point 1688 01:21:38.000 --> 01:21:40.399 what this thing looks like. There is still chance maybe 1689 01:21:40.520 --> 01:21:42.479 it never does come out, or this version of it 1690 01:21:42.479 --> 01:21:45.920 doesn't pan out. But I think that if they continue 1691 01:21:45.960 --> 01:21:48.640 to like really focus on the PlayStation brand, they will 1692 01:21:48.640 --> 01:21:50.920 always have a PlayStation console that goes under your TV. 1693 01:21:51.680 --> 01:21:54.960 But there's an audience increasingly clearly that does want the handheld, 1694 01:21:55.000 --> 01:21:56.039 so you have to serve them there. 1695 01:21:56.159 --> 01:21:59.079 What do you say, I've been seeing even more switched 1696 01:21:59.119 --> 01:22:01.680 to rumors popping off two in the periphery here. I 1697 01:22:01.680 --> 01:22:04.439 don't know if you've taken any stock of those, Jeff. 1698 01:22:04.640 --> 01:22:07.399 Yeah, there's some leaks of the joy Con that look 1699 01:22:07.600 --> 01:22:12.039 a lot like Joycon, and there is what like apparently 1700 01:22:12.079 --> 01:22:15.479 some third party peripherals are already on sale and things 1701 01:22:15.560 --> 01:22:18.800 like that in some areas that they think is based 1702 01:22:18.800 --> 01:22:21.880 on official specs from Nintendo. So yeah, I mean that 1703 01:22:21.920 --> 01:22:23.600 stuff's happening. A lot of stuff could have been like 1704 01:22:23.640 --> 01:22:25.439 in the works for a very long time, like to 1705 01:22:25.479 --> 01:22:28.520 the point where Nintendo was like, hey, we will provide 1706 01:22:28.560 --> 01:22:31.279 certain stuff on this date, and here it is and 1707 01:22:31.319 --> 01:22:34.039 then actually, no, no, now Nintendo is moving the Switch 1708 01:22:34.079 --> 01:22:36.520 to release later, but those things are still getting ready 1709 01:22:36.520 --> 01:22:38.239 to come out as if that thing was maybe going 1710 01:22:38.319 --> 01:22:42.000 to launch in late twenty twenty four. So yeah, I mean, 1711 01:22:42.359 --> 01:22:45.000 they got to talk about it soon. They do. We 1712 01:22:45.079 --> 01:22:46.279 know they're talking about it before the end. 1713 01:22:46.239 --> 01:22:48.720 Of March, but we're excited to reveal that we will 1714 01:22:48.760 --> 01:22:51.119 be revealing the Switch too during the countdown to the 1715 01:22:51.119 --> 01:22:51.840 Game Awards. 1716 01:22:52.039 --> 01:22:56.079 It is everybody Thursday something. Wow. Yeah, what a scoop. 1717 01:22:57.119 --> 01:22:59.359 Yeah, Dan, Dan's really been out there hitting the pavement 1718 01:22:59.399 --> 01:22:59.960 to make this happen. 1719 01:23:00.079 --> 01:23:02.479 Absolutely, I'm very proud of that for you. Yeah, yep. 1720 01:23:03.319 --> 01:23:06.000 PS five ads limited time PS one boot up and 1721 01:23:06.039 --> 01:23:09.840 customizable themes based on previous consoles. Sony has released a 1722 01:23:09.840 --> 01:23:14.600 PlayStation five update celebrating the brand's thirtieth anniversary that allows 1723 01:23:14.640 --> 01:23:17.680 players to customize their consoles designed with themes based on 1724 01:23:17.760 --> 01:23:21.159 different PlayStation generations, PS one, PS two, three, four, five, 1725 01:23:21.479 --> 01:23:24.640 and a thirtieth anniversary theme.

It feels like if you just keep it 1739 01:23:54.159 --> 01:23:55.359 set to that, it should keep working. 1740 01:23:55.359 --> 01:23:57.239 I feel like I haven't poked around to the current 1741 01:23:57.239 --> 01:23:58.840 state of themes and stuff because I got the pro 1742 01:23:58.920 --> 01:24:00.760 and I made me realize, like, oh I didn't even realize, 1743 01:24:00.800 --> 01:24:02.359 like you can put these like dynamic Like it's just 1744 01:24:02.359 --> 01:24:04.680 a bunch of like on your old laser micro chips 1745 01:24:04.680 --> 01:24:06.359 and stuff back there, and I want to see what 1746 01:24:06.359 --> 01:24:07.039 other option through. 1747 01:24:07.680 --> 01:24:09.720 Yep.

It's mechanical dinosaurs, it's 1797 01:26:33.880 --> 01:26:35.359 the bow and arrow, it's the hair. 1798 01:26:35.520 --> 01:26:37.079 It's holy just like. 1799 01:26:37.000 --> 01:26:41.279 The like American like buildings, like the enemies, like the 1800 01:26:41.359 --> 01:26:45.439 robot animals are just straight out of there's a bowl. 1801 01:26:45.680 --> 01:26:48.319 With like the horns like just pointing a slightly different direction. 1802 01:26:48.399 --> 01:26:49.520 And that's the only difference. 1803 01:26:49.840 --> 01:26:51.520 Can they If you're going to rip something off, at 1804 01:26:51.600 --> 01:26:52.600 least do an interesting ip. 1805 01:26:54.720 --> 01:26:59.279 Actually, Horizon I decided for us that no, we should 1806 01:26:59.359 --> 01:27:02.000 really all get into light up the motor ram. What 1807 01:27:02.039 --> 01:27:02.920 do we do though? 1808 01:27:04.119 --> 01:27:06.680 What it just like appeals to us in some weird way. 1809 01:27:07.039 --> 01:27:10.680 Yeah, right, Yeah. It is a little different than the gameplay. 1810 01:27:10.720 --> 01:27:13.800 It's got survival elements, you build a base. That stuff 1811 01:27:13.840 --> 01:27:17.479 is not in Horizon necessarily, so uh, you know, it's 1812 01:27:17.520 --> 01:27:19.279 gonna play a little bit different. But boy, the way 1813 01:27:19.319 --> 01:27:22.399 it looks is just straight up Horizon zero done is 1814 01:27:22.600 --> 01:27:23.079 so wild. 1815 01:27:23.479 --> 01:27:25.760 It looks like it might play more like Monster Hunter. 1816 01:27:25.920 --> 01:27:28.600 I guess, yeah, what if this. 1817 01:27:29.000 --> 01:27:32.039 Like kind of steals all the thunder from that multiplayer 1818 01:27:32.119 --> 01:27:33.600 Horizon game that they're working on. 1819 01:27:33.600 --> 01:27:36.359 That is real, there's a chance that it does. I 1820 01:27:36.399 --> 01:27:40.960 think there's a chance that does way better because this 1821 01:27:41.000 --> 01:27:44.039 could very easily end up being against an impact sort 1822 01:27:44.079 --> 01:27:44.560 of situation. 1823 01:27:44.640 --> 01:27:48.560 Yeah yeah, but it's funny because at the time we're like, oh, 1824 01:27:48.640 --> 01:27:51.000 get your impact is like Breath of the Wild, and 1825 01:27:51.039 --> 01:27:53.640 you know that seems so innocent now compared to them. 1826 01:27:53.960 --> 01:27:56.840 That was right, That was like just like the flavor 1827 01:27:56.960 --> 01:27:59.800 was similar. This is just exactly the same in terms 1828 01:27:59.800 --> 01:28:03.319 of looks all right, let's keep moving here. It's time 1829 01:28:03.359 --> 01:28:08.159 to move on, says PlayStation veteran shoe Hay Yoshida as 1830 01:28:08.159 --> 01:28:12.359 he leaves after thirty one years. Shoe Hay is a veteran, obviously. 1831 01:28:12.399 --> 01:28:15.520 He basically is there from the beginning of PlayStation. He 1832 01:28:15.600 --> 01:28:18.279 started in nineteen ninety three, which is if you do 1833 01:28:18.319 --> 01:28:22.199 the math, before PlayStation one came out, and he's been 1834 01:28:22.279 --> 01:28:24.119 working there ever since. For a while there he was 1835 01:28:24.159 --> 01:28:27.239 the head of PlayStation Worldwide Studios, more recently been in 1836 01:28:27.319 --> 01:28:32.159 charge of the indie relations between PlayStation and external indie studios. 1837 01:28:32.680 --> 01:28:34.720 And now he's like, no, I'm just moving on, and 1838 01:28:34.760 --> 01:28:37.159 he's not retiring, he said. He says he wants to 1839 01:28:37.159 --> 01:28:40.000 stay in games, but just not at PlayStation and like, 1840 01:28:40.119 --> 01:28:42.079 you know, now's a good time to get out right 1841 01:28:42.079 --> 01:28:44.079 where it's like, you know, you have been there for long. 1842 01:28:44.680 --> 01:28:48.439 The PlayStation is on top of the world. The indy 1843 01:28:48.520 --> 01:28:50.520 relationship has actually been repaired a little bit in the 1844 01:28:50.600 --> 01:28:52.520 last couple of years, thanks in large part due to 1845 01:28:52.560 --> 01:28:55.039 what he's been doing where they were complaining a few 1846 01:28:55.079 --> 01:28:57.119 years back, and that's sort of calmed down a little bit. 1847 01:28:57.239 --> 01:28:59.640 So yeah, him being like, yeah, I'm gonna do my 1848 01:28:59.680 --> 01:29:02.319 own thing, and he could do whatever he wants. So 1849 01:29:03.079 --> 01:29:06.239 I'm curious to see what he does next. I think 1850 01:29:06.359 --> 01:29:08.000 there's a chance though, he might end up at like 1851 01:29:08.479 --> 01:29:09.520 Netty's or ten Cent. 1852 01:29:09.640 --> 01:29:10.600 Yeah, that's what I was taking. 1853 01:29:11.039 --> 01:29:15.159 Yeah, maybe there's a reason why started putting out light 1854 01:29:15.199 --> 01:29:16.000 of motor. 1855 01:29:15.760 --> 01:29:20.279 In Yeah, exactly. Tencent likes to hire intensent and and 1856 01:29:20.359 --> 01:29:23.239 he's like to hire a lot of Japanese developers in studios, 1857 01:29:23.279 --> 01:29:25.720 and he's got a relationship with a lot of those people. 1858 01:29:25.880 --> 01:29:27.760 So he would be a very valuable. 1859 01:29:27.399 --> 01:29:29.600 Executive, I think, because I mean the other thing too, 1860 01:29:29.680 --> 01:29:32.439 is I don't know, I get wanting to move on, 1861 01:29:32.520 --> 01:29:34.399 but gosh, you've been there forever. You must have a 1862 01:29:34.399 --> 01:29:38.560 pre secure position there, a pretty cozy position. I feel 1863 01:29:38.560 --> 01:29:41.560 like one of those companies are maybe offering him a 1864 01:29:41.600 --> 01:29:42.760 lot of money. 1865 01:29:42.960 --> 01:29:47.159 Yep, I think so too. Uh okay. Xbox says it's 1866 01:29:47.199 --> 01:29:50.439 still blocked from selling and launching games from its Android app. 1867 01:29:50.520 --> 01:29:53.439 Google says it isn't. This is this one came from 1868 01:29:53.479 --> 01:29:56.079 Chris Gollan of VGC. I just kind of got copies 1869 01:29:56.079 --> 01:29:58.720 of this here. Xbox and Google provide a conflicting statement 1870 01:29:58.840 --> 01:30:01.880 on whether Xbox can sell and launch games from its 1871 01:30:01.880 --> 01:30:05.960 Android app. A US judge issued a permanent injunction October, 1872 01:30:06.000 --> 01:30:09.359 acquiring Google to open its Android marketplace to competitors and 1873 01:30:09.359 --> 01:30:13.359 allowing third party Android app stores. Xbox promise players that 1874 01:30:13.399 --> 01:30:15.439 it would do that, and it's I said it would 1875 01:30:15.439 --> 01:30:18.960 start like doing that in November. November's coming gone. Now 1876 01:30:19.119 --> 01:30:21.439 Xbox says that a or yeah, they said a new 1877 01:30:22.359 --> 01:30:25.000 like a reverse excuse me, a reverse injunction has been placed. 1878 01:30:25.000 --> 01:30:29.960 That is happening because Google is they're what's it called 1879 01:30:29.960 --> 01:30:31.880 when when you have a court case and they're trying 1880 01:30:31.920 --> 01:30:35.000 to appealing it. They're appealing it. And while that's happening, 1881 01:30:35.159 --> 01:30:38.680 Microsoft is actually not able to have its own app store. 1882 01:30:39.439 --> 01:30:41.720 Google basically came back. It's like that, that's not true. 1883 01:30:41.720 --> 01:30:44.279 They've always been able to do that. I think that 1884 01:30:44.399 --> 01:30:48.560 the problem is that neither company's especially saying is yes Google. 1885 01:30:48.600 --> 01:30:50.800 Apparently a Google doesn't allow you to do that. You 1886 01:30:50.920 --> 01:30:54.279 just still have to give a cut to Google. And 1887 01:30:54.439 --> 01:30:57.319 what this original court case was saying, is you no 1888 01:30:57.359 --> 01:30:58.960 longer have to do that. You can go out and 1889 01:30:58.960 --> 01:31:00.920 make your own app store, put it on Google Play, 1890 01:31:01.279 --> 01:31:03.399 and take all the money for yourself. And that's what 1891 01:31:03.439 --> 01:31:05.760 Microsoft is really saying that they were going to launch. 1892 01:31:06.079 --> 01:31:09.119 So it's in this weird place and I kind of 1893 01:31:09.159 --> 01:31:10.880 come back to with all this stuff where I always 1894 01:31:10.880 --> 01:31:14.680 come back to, are you guys going to care that 1895 01:31:14.720 --> 01:31:19.079 you can suddenly buy games on your mobile phone from 1896 01:31:19.239 --> 01:31:20.159 Xbox directly? 1897 01:31:20.800 --> 01:31:21.039 Now? 1898 01:31:21.439 --> 01:31:24.840 This stuff is always so much just mega corporations arguing 1899 01:31:24.880 --> 01:31:27.039 with each other. Yeah, and I have a hard time 1900 01:31:27.079 --> 01:31:28.840 following it. And OK, it's like, I'll let you I'll 1901 01:31:28.920 --> 01:31:31.279 let you all sort that out. I guess this seems 1902 01:31:31.359 --> 01:31:33.439 very important to you, so you have fun? 1903 01:31:33.880 --> 01:31:34.119 Yep. 1904 01:31:34.800 --> 01:31:38.000 Yeah, Yeah, I don't feel the immediate rush of like, 1905 01:31:38.039 --> 01:31:39.880 oh man, I gotta buy that game right now. 1906 01:31:40.800 --> 01:31:44.760 Yeah. I mean even like I suppose if this is 1907 01:31:44.800 --> 01:31:48.800 what I need to install to play Call Duty Mobile 1908 01:31:48.840 --> 01:31:50.159 in the future, at some point, I'm like, one's the 1909 01:31:50.199 --> 01:31:51.960 less time I played Called Duty Mobile. That's like for 1910 01:31:52.000 --> 01:31:54.840 a couple of weeks when it came out. But yeah, 1911 01:31:55.319 --> 01:31:57.159 some people will do that. They'll just kind of find 1912 01:31:57.199 --> 01:31:59.920 themselves ending up in this store and that's what Microsoft want. 1913 01:32:00.239 --> 01:32:03.760 But yeah, this is not an exciting proposition to be personally. 1914 01:32:04.840 --> 01:32:07.760 GOG plans to preserve Warcraft one and two even though 1915 01:32:07.800 --> 01:32:11.039 Blizzard is delisting them. GOG will continue to support Warcraft 1916 01:32:11.039 --> 01:32:13.800 one and two after they're delisting from its storefront on 1917 01:32:13.880 --> 01:32:17.680 December thirteenth. The games are part of Gog's preservation or 1918 01:32:18.079 --> 01:32:23.560 persev excuse me, a preservation, Yeah, preservation program, ensuring that 1919 01:32:23.600 --> 01:32:27.359 compatibility with modern systems will continue. GOG will use its 1920 01:32:27.399 --> 01:32:31.199 resources to maintain compatibility despite their delisting. So basically what's 1921 01:32:31.199 --> 01:32:33.359 happening is those new games, new versions of the game 1922 01:32:33.399 --> 01:32:36.319 came out. Blizzard's not going to be doing much with 1923 01:32:36.359 --> 01:32:38.560 the old versions anymore. In fact, they are delisting them. 1924 01:32:38.880 --> 01:32:41.560 Gog's saying in our on our side, we will handle 1925 01:32:41.560 --> 01:32:44.600 some of that for these games going forward, even though 1926 01:32:44.640 --> 01:32:46.279 you know, I don't think you're gonna be able to 1927 01:32:46.279 --> 01:32:48.439 buy them anymore, but if you own them, we will 1928 01:32:48.520 --> 01:32:52.000 ensure that they have that compatibility remains, which is a 1929 01:32:52.079 --> 01:32:53.399 cool thing that God does. 1930 01:32:54.039 --> 01:32:57.520 Yeah, and it's weird for Blizzard to just straight up 1931 01:32:57.560 --> 01:33:00.000 pool these things. I know they did their recent remass 1932 01:33:00.279 --> 01:33:02.119 but you can let those so on its own. I 1933 01:33:02.199 --> 01:33:05.119 can't imagine that sales of these Gog versions were really 1934 01:33:05.159 --> 01:33:10.319 cutting into the sales for their new remasters. They could 1935 01:33:10.319 --> 01:33:13.159 have just let that well enough alone. It is nice 1936 01:33:13.199 --> 01:33:17.880 that the Warcraft went into Gog versions are discount right now. 1937 01:33:18.279 --> 01:33:21.279 You can use the discount code make Warcraft Lift Forever 1938 01:33:21.399 --> 01:33:24.119 one word, so you can kind of buy those now. 1939 01:33:24.920 --> 01:33:27.439 If you're worried about it. I will say that, you know, 1940 01:33:29.239 --> 01:33:32.000 Warcraft fans could be pretty particular and they have a 1941 01:33:32.039 --> 01:33:35.319 lot of issues with those new remasters. I was playing them, 1942 01:33:35.319 --> 01:33:37.960 and I thought they were good. The new graphics whatever 1943 01:33:38.000 --> 01:33:40.680 you can put on the old graphics, maybe you probably should. 1944 01:33:40.720 --> 01:33:44.880 I thought they played well. But like I said, Warcraft 1945 01:33:44.920 --> 01:33:48.880 people have a million little issues with things sometimes and 1946 01:33:48.439 --> 01:33:52.239 they have a very particular idea of how things should play. 1947 01:33:52.439 --> 01:33:54.119 Right, and at the very least it's like, yeah, why 1948 01:33:54.199 --> 01:33:56.920 not maintain that if it's possible, And that's what they're doing. Yeah. 1949 01:33:57.960 --> 01:34:01.359 Star wars Hunters is coming to PC in twenty twenty five. 1950 01:34:01.760 --> 01:34:05.359 Star wars Hunters was the that switch and mobile game 1951 01:34:05.399 --> 01:34:10.000 from zinga kind of a hero arena shooter sort of thing. 1952 01:34:10.119 --> 01:34:13.159 R Katie Shooter had a bunch of fun looking characters. 1953 01:34:13.199 --> 01:34:15.359 I thought it played pretty fun on the Switch now, 1954 01:34:15.399 --> 01:34:20.319 but it's expanding coming to PC, and yeah, I'm glad 1955 01:34:20.359 --> 01:34:21.960 to see this because it's, oh yeah, this game must 1956 01:34:21.960 --> 01:34:24.119 be working and the strategy worked, and now they have 1957 01:34:24.159 --> 01:34:25.560 the possibility to expand it to PC. 1958 01:34:26.000 --> 01:34:28.239 Yeah, I like to try it. It kind of you know. 1959 01:34:28.359 --> 01:34:31.600 Yet we're pretty close to Marvel Rivals releasing here, Yeah, 1960 01:34:32.119 --> 01:34:34.560 and I feel like that might be taking over that 1961 01:34:34.800 --> 01:34:38.560 that space pretty well. But so maybe maybe Hunters can 1962 01:34:38.600 --> 01:34:39.600 have a little niche there. 1963 01:34:39.960 --> 01:34:43.600 Yeah. It's definitely like Marvel Rivals is like a big 1964 01:34:43.720 --> 01:34:45.560 jugger not and this is like a cool little thing 1965 01:34:45.600 --> 01:34:47.560 off to the side. I think that's definitely the case here. 1966 01:34:48.399 --> 01:34:50.800 Crash Team Racing nitro Fueld is coming to game Pass 1967 01:34:50.840 --> 01:34:53.840 this week. Microsoft plans to add Crash Team Racing nitro 1968 01:34:53.920 --> 01:34:58.159 Fueld to game Pass on December fourth. It's happening a 1969 01:34:58.159 --> 01:34:59.840 little bit slower than I was expecting a lot of 1970 01:34:59.840 --> 01:35:02.039 the Activision games getting added to game Pass. 1971 01:35:01.880 --> 01:35:05.199 Right, Yeah, I thought this would be much much sooner 1972 01:35:05.399 --> 01:35:07.560 or a more rapid cadence than it's me. 1973 01:35:07.680 --> 01:35:09.399 Yeah, I don't know. 1974 01:35:09.520 --> 01:35:12.039 Spind it trip Beat, I've heard. I didn't play this 1975 01:35:12.079 --> 01:35:14.039 when it came out. But I heard it's very very good, 1976 01:35:14.119 --> 01:35:15.800 so I will probably check it out. 1977 01:35:16.119 --> 01:35:19.239 Yeah. Same, And a game like this on game Pass 1978 01:35:19.279 --> 01:35:20.640 would be the kind of thing like, oh, this can 1979 01:35:20.640 --> 01:35:24.960 do very well there, all right, last story here. Nintendo's 1980 01:35:25.000 --> 01:35:28.079 NS version of Tetris is coming to Switch Online this month. 1981 01:35:28.800 --> 01:35:31.119 The NES version of Tetris will be available on Switch 1982 01:35:31.159 --> 01:35:34.600 Online on December twelfth. This marks the first official re 1983 01:35:34.600 --> 01:35:37.680 release of the nineteen eighty nine home console version. Game 1984 01:35:37.680 --> 01:35:39.880 features two modes, A type and B type. Blah blah. 1985 01:35:39.880 --> 01:35:43.079 Everyone remembers this. Yeah, it's a shame that this was 1986 01:35:43.119 --> 01:35:45.920 not included in part of that Tetris history game Tetris 1987 01:35:46.000 --> 01:35:49.680 Forever that Digital Clips did a few weeks back that 1988 01:35:50.000 --> 01:35:53.319 I really really enjoyed. But at least it exists somewhere 1989 01:35:53.359 --> 01:35:55.079 and Nintendo Switch Online, Hey, I'll play it. 1990 01:35:55.119 --> 01:35:58.640 There cameos from Marion Luigi where was? I feel like 1991 01:35:58.680 --> 01:36:00.760 this is the version I played? Is this a really 1992 01:36:00.800 --> 01:36:03.319 common one? Had the same box art as the game 1993 01:36:03.359 --> 01:36:08.199 Boy one? Maybe not there there was a tingin. 1994 01:36:08.079 --> 01:36:12.439 And tingin did the one the black cart of it? 1995 01:36:12.680 --> 01:36:14.720 It must not be the black cartridge one then, yeah, 1996 01:36:14.760 --> 01:36:16.800 because that's not your ten carts. There's no way Martin 1997 01:36:16.800 --> 01:36:21.880 the Leeds were in that. Okay, Yeah, it's cameos weird. Yeah, 1998 01:36:22.119 --> 01:36:24.800 it's look, I mean it's neat to get it on there. 1999 01:36:24.800 --> 01:36:27.199 But does feel like with n s O, like if 2000 01:36:27.239 --> 01:36:29.319 you get one thing, you don't get another thing because 2001 01:36:29.359 --> 01:36:32.479 the drip feed is so slow. Boy, are there already 2002 01:36:32.520 --> 01:36:35.359 a lot of ways to play Tetris on my switch? 2003 01:36:35.720 --> 01:36:37.840 Yeah? This is that is a good point where that's 2004 01:36:37.840 --> 01:36:39.520 definitely what I was thinking. I saw. It's like good, 2005 01:36:39.560 --> 01:36:41.239 finally a way to play Tetris on Switch. 2006 01:36:42.319 --> 01:36:45.520 Yeah, give me Star Tropics too, damn it. 2007 01:36:46.720 --> 01:36:47.960 Yeah, that seems unlikely. 2008 01:36:48.359 --> 01:36:54.640 Dora's Revenge whatever the hell's name is they like they 2009 01:36:54.960 --> 01:36:56.600 added a bunch of those Genesis games recently. 2010 01:36:56.680 --> 01:36:59.479 Does seem like they're still doing stuff with Nintendo Switch Online. 2011 01:36:59.760 --> 01:37:02.079 Part that might just be, hey, we got to fill 2012 01:37:02.079 --> 01:37:03.840 in some of these gaps until Switch Too is out, 2013 01:37:03.840 --> 01:37:06.680 and this is the way they're doing it. So yeah, Actually, like. 2014 01:37:06.640 --> 01:37:08.399 I liked the end I played. I play these whole 2015 01:37:08.439 --> 01:37:11.000 games a lot, actually, so I go into the libraries 2016 01:37:11.239 --> 01:37:11.800 all the time. 2017 01:37:11.960 --> 01:37:13.439 That's one of the things I did actually over the 2018 01:37:13.520 --> 01:37:16.760 Thanksgiving holidays play a bunch of Donkey kong Land. Yeah, 2019 01:37:16.800 --> 01:37:21.039 Donkey kong Land too. Would you guys the last thing 2020 01:37:21.039 --> 01:37:23.800 before we move on here? Uh, you guys expect like 2021 01:37:23.840 --> 01:37:26.840 a big expansion to Nintendo Switch Online when Switch two 2022 01:37:26.840 --> 01:37:28.800 comes out, where they try to like repackage that. 2023 01:37:28.960 --> 01:37:31.439 I hope they, I mean everything that's already available. I 2024 01:37:31.439 --> 01:37:34.119 would hope Stay is available. I hope we wait again 2025 01:37:34.119 --> 01:37:36.199 and for them to start no virtual consoling this thing 2026 01:37:36.239 --> 01:37:37.560 up that won't happen. 2027 01:37:37.600 --> 01:37:38.479 GameCube is what I want. 2028 01:37:38.720 --> 01:37:41.680 I want Gamecubee I have, I have. 2029 01:37:42.880 --> 01:37:45.000 I don't expect GameCube. I just don't think it's happening. 2030 01:37:45.000 --> 01:37:48.079 I think I think that they're happy taking those games. 2031 01:37:48.479 --> 01:37:50.520 If they're going to give them to us again, they 2032 01:37:50.520 --> 01:37:53.279 are going to remake them, a remaster them like they've 2033 01:37:53.279 --> 01:37:58.079 been doing with Metre Prime. We'll just Mansion and uh 2034 01:37:58.239 --> 01:38:01.039 when right, like like that's that's a path there. That's 2035 01:38:01.039 --> 01:38:02.680 the kind of weird thing. I don't know if I 2036 01:38:02.680 --> 01:38:04.239 expect a big spans and I hope we get a 2037 01:38:04.279 --> 01:38:07.000 bunch of more games, but I don't think they're going 2038 01:38:07.039 --> 01:38:10.039 to be really adding consoles beyond the N sixty four, 2039 01:38:10.279 --> 01:38:14.000 the DS on WEU like they could do DS. Yeah, 2040 01:38:14.039 --> 01:38:16.920 I wish the figure out a way to to do DS. 2041 01:38:16.960 --> 01:38:19.359 You know, there's some older weird consoles love to see, 2042 01:38:19.399 --> 01:38:23.079 like get turbographics, get the Master System right and sixty four. 2043 01:38:23.079 --> 01:38:24.560 I would love to see Saturn right. 2044 01:38:26.039 --> 01:38:28.359 Sadur would be amazing. But I mean Turbographics was on 2045 01:38:28.399 --> 01:38:31.960 the Wii, right, we have Turbographics virtual probably. 2046 01:38:31.960 --> 01:38:34.880 I think Turbographics does probably happen eventually. 2047 01:38:34.680 --> 01:38:36.279 I hope, so that would that would rule. There's a 2048 01:38:36.319 --> 01:38:39.000 ton of good turbographics games. You can do Tterbographics CD 2049 01:38:39.159 --> 01:38:42.239 games like Rondo Blood, which would be absolutely amazing. 2050 01:38:42.399 --> 01:38:44.000 That'd be cool, and then you can finally play Rondo 2051 01:38:44.039 --> 01:38:44.880 Blood on the switch. 2052 01:38:45.800 --> 01:38:49.039 There's the weird Caslvania collection that because there was the 2053 01:38:49.039 --> 01:38:51.520 one old Caslavania collection that had all the old games, 2054 01:38:51.680 --> 01:38:53.520 and then there was the one on PS four that 2055 01:38:53.600 --> 01:38:54.800 had Rondo Symphony. 2056 01:38:54.880 --> 01:38:57.760 Right Symphony, yes, and that's not on switch to this. 2057 01:38:57.760 --> 01:39:02.479 Day, okay, because those are just PSP ROMs basically from 2058 01:39:02.520 --> 01:39:04.920 that Dracula X chronicle. So that's why that's only on 2059 01:39:04.960 --> 01:39:07.520 pay Station four. So you cannot play Symphony a Night 2060 01:39:07.560 --> 01:39:10.399 of Rondo Blood on like a switch. An Xbox or PC. 2061 01:39:10.760 --> 01:39:11.960 Symphony is on Xbox. 2062 01:39:12.520 --> 01:39:16.640 Yeah. Well, Xbox Xbox three sixty yeah, Xbox Live version. Yeah? 2063 01:39:17.000 --> 01:39:22.479 Is that backwards though? Like, could you play it on It's. 2064 01:39:20.800 --> 01:39:22.760 That's actually how I first played it. It's solid one 2065 01:39:23.039 --> 01:39:23.840 Xbox one, I think. 2066 01:39:24.039 --> 01:39:26.920 Yeah. But there should definitely be a new castve collection 2067 01:39:27.000 --> 01:39:29.880 for Rondo and symphony that yes, yes, yeah, clearly. 2068 01:39:30.880 --> 01:39:33.279 All right, that does it for the headlines, Jan, I'm 2069 01:39:33.279 --> 01:39:35.239 handing the show back over to you. 2070 01:39:35.640 --> 01:39:39.880 I see a crude image stretched out and pasted in 2071 01:39:40.000 --> 01:39:42.920 this doc. Uh so I'm gonna need to erase that 2072 01:39:42.920 --> 01:39:45.319 from my memory and take a quick breaking break and 2073 01:39:45.359 --> 01:39:58.239 we'll be back with the email emails.

I 2101 01:41:20.199 --> 01:41:22.720 felt it both too funny and too stupid not to share. 2102 01:41:22.720 --> 01:41:25.840 So here it is. Boz Lherman ranks.

There you go. I got that. I got. 2129 01:42:55.960 --> 01:43:01.119 Next one comes from Joshua, Newfound, Newfoundland Gaming Time Travel mission. 2130 01:43:01.359 --> 01:43:04.960 Good afternoon, bombers. Your mission is as follows. You have 2131 01:43:05.000 --> 01:43:07.600 to go back in time and lead development on a 2132 01:43:07.640 --> 01:43:10.800 successful game and have it be just as successful, if 2133 01:43:10.840 --> 01:43:14.079 not more successful, in that timeline as it wasn't ours. 2134 01:43:14.319 --> 01:43:17.840 You were going to replace whatever key figure figures lead 2135 01:43:18.039 --> 01:43:20.760 development on your chosen game, but you will have access 2136 01:43:20.760 --> 01:43:23.920 to people with skills that would be considered industry standard 2137 01:43:24.039 --> 01:43:26.439 for the time, since they don't expect you'll be able 2138 01:43:26.479 --> 01:43:30.000 to actually master the technical skills yourselves within the confines 2139 01:43:30.039 --> 01:43:33.239 of this hypothetical.

High BombCast crew belated, Happy Thanksgiving and 2221 01:47:17.239 --> 01:47:20.920 upcoming holidays. Hope you all Thanksgiving break went well. Writing 2222 01:47:21.000 --> 01:47:23.239 in based on an old quick This is a fat email, 2223 01:47:23.239 --> 01:47:28.720 by the way, it start paying attention old quick look 2224 01:47:28.760 --> 01:47:30.840 that made its way back into the Giant Bomb infinite 2225 01:47:30.840 --> 01:47:33.079 feed on the break. When playing the original Mister Goiman 2226 01:47:33.199 --> 01:47:35.680 arcade game, Dan mused about just where the myth about 2227 01:47:35.680 --> 01:47:39.039 the Tanuki have having giant balls came from being a 2228 01:47:39.079 --> 01:47:42.039 bit obsessed with tanuki myself. After all these years, I 2229 01:47:42.079 --> 01:47:44.239 have the answer. The myth comes from a mix of 2230 01:47:44.600 --> 01:47:48.279 metal smithing history and good old fashioned puns. In the 2231 01:47:48.359 --> 01:47:52.560 nineteen seventy one book Knowledge about Steel, author Shigeo Okuwa 2232 01:47:52.920 --> 01:47:57.199 describes the taiale originating from metal workers in Kanazawa Prefecture 2233 01:47:57.479 --> 01:48:01.079 working on gold leaf. These smiths would commonly used tanuki 2234 01:48:01.119 --> 01:48:05.159 pelts as a cushion for hammering out gold balls kin 2235 01:48:05.439 --> 01:48:07.520 no tama in Japanese. 2236 01:48:07.079 --> 01:48:11.800 Mike least before, I don't have erotic treat This is 2237 01:48:11.800 --> 01:48:15.239 a different type of eroticism, though, as a result between 2238 01:48:15.279 --> 01:48:18.600 the inherent malleability of gold, the smith's skill, and the 2239 01:48:18.680 --> 01:48:21.720 durability of tanuki pelts, it was said that the Kanazawa 2240 01:48:21.720 --> 01:48:24.720 smiths could turn even a small portion of gold into. 2241 01:48:24.439 --> 01:48:27.359 A sheet they'd spread into an area eight tatami mats 2242 01:48:27.640 --> 01:48:31.319 add in how kintama is slang for terms of testicles 2243 01:48:31.319 --> 01:48:34.640 in Japanese. These sheets of gold leaf became heavily associated 2244 01:48:34.920 --> 01:48:38.079 in turn with tanuki, their size transferring to the conception 2245 01:48:38.159 --> 01:48:41.479 of tanuki balls. In turn, as an added result, tanuki 2246 01:48:41.520 --> 01:48:44.880 became associated with wealth, then good fortune, further entrenching the 2247 01:48:44.920 --> 01:48:47.960 connection to the idea of to the idea of tanuki 2248 01:48:48.000 --> 01:48:51.640 having giant balls of its own independent a bit of folklore. 2249 01:48:51.920 --> 01:48:53.920 As far as the statues you see across Japan, it 2250 01:48:53.960 --> 01:48:57.399 turns out their popularity is much more recent phenomenon, coming 2251 01:48:57.439 --> 01:49:00.880 into vogue during the post war period thanks to ceramics 2252 01:49:00.960 --> 01:49:05.520 craftsman Tetsuo Fujiwara, who crafted a series of tanuki statues 2253 01:49:05.520 --> 01:49:10.640 to welcome then Emperor Hirohita to Fujiwara's town of Koga 2254 01:49:10.800 --> 01:49:14.039 in nineteen fifty one. Uh sorry, email, I forgot to 2255 01:49:14.039 --> 01:49:17.479 write in your name, but thank you for telling us 2256 01:49:17.479 --> 01:49:18.560 about balls. 2257 01:49:19.039 --> 01:49:21.960 It sounds a lot like how things get like started 2258 01:49:21.960 --> 01:49:24.520 at giant bomb dot com, where it's like just a 2259 01:49:24.520 --> 01:49:27.000 bunch of guys doing like that sounds like balls, and 2260 01:49:27.039 --> 01:49:28.760 then suddenly that's the whole thing there. 2261 01:49:29.800 --> 01:49:34.479 You guys ever see pom Poko?

Yep, oh you like stand on them right, Yeah, 2266 01:49:47.680 --> 01:49:49.439 they could do lots of things with them.

A couple 2402 01:56:05.560 --> 01:56:08.079 of weeks ago on the BombCast, I asked Dan Reikert 2403 01:56:08.079 --> 01:56:12.600 for food recommendations in the city of Kansas City. He 2404 01:56:12.680 --> 01:56:16.600 told me to go get Casey Joe's from Country County 2405 01:56:16.840 --> 01:56:20.720 County Road ice House. I went there and I got 2406 01:56:20.720 --> 01:56:23.319 the Burnt Ends. It was really good. It was tasty. 2407 01:56:23.600 --> 01:56:26.000 I had a good time eating. I also got an 2408 01:56:26.159 --> 01:56:28.680 ic cocktail. Nicky from Los Angeles. 2409 01:56:28.880 --> 01:56:29.880 Hell, yeah, that's the thing. 2410 01:56:30.159 --> 01:56:33.720 Everyone thinks, understandably that my food opinions are to. 2411 01:56:33.680 --> 01:56:34.640 Be cast aside. 2412 01:56:34.720 --> 01:56:37.520 I get it based on many things I've said, But 2413 01:56:38.159 --> 01:56:40.119 I'm from Kansas City. I know the barbecue. 2414 01:56:40.399 --> 01:56:40.720 Nick you. 2415 01:56:41.119 --> 01:56:44.560 I'm glad you enjoyed the Burnt Ends. They're incredible. They're 2416 01:56:44.600 --> 01:56:48.399 also really good souvied I got a new suvieed machine 2417 01:56:48.520 --> 01:56:51.439 and they sent him to you and a vacuum sealed thanks, 2418 01:56:51.479 --> 01:56:52.760 So you just PLoP it in there for a little bit. 2419 01:56:52.840 --> 01:56:56.359 Pop, PLoP them in the Suvi sixty for a couple hours. 2420 01:56:56.399 --> 01:57:01.000 Oh my god, I should get Sam that's h Christmas Vi. 2421 01:57:02.640 --> 01:57:07.039 That'd be fine everything what's google is about that? 2422 01:57:07.399 --> 01:57:09.279 But then you're gonna get a vacuum steeler. 2423 01:57:09.039 --> 01:57:13.239 Though, sure you do. You do need one of those. Also, look, 2424 01:57:13.279 --> 01:57:15.000 I gotta go back to the Mario Wonder thing is 2425 01:57:15.119 --> 01:57:17.720 that's like, oh, Dann's getting them all so riled up. 2426 01:57:17.960 --> 01:57:21.439 To be clear, that's not a bit. Dan one hundred 2427 01:57:21.520 --> 01:57:23.239 percent believes that super Mario Wonder. 2428 01:57:23.479 --> 01:57:25.479 He's not a he's not working us. 2429 01:57:26.399 --> 01:57:29.239 I believe it's a very good opinion. It's not an adult. 2430 01:57:29.359 --> 01:57:33.479 It's not because like in his mind, like these games 2431 01:57:33.479 --> 01:57:37.399 have to like keep getting progressively bigger something to him. 2432 01:57:37.439 --> 01:57:39.319 So so they did that three D game goes back 2433 01:57:39.359 --> 01:57:40.960 to a two D game that can't count the three 2434 01:57:41.039 --> 01:57:41.520 D World. 2435 01:57:42.039 --> 01:57:44.039 Three D World is one of the best Mario games, 2436 01:57:44.119 --> 01:57:47.079 and it's a side. One side is not a national That. 2437 01:57:47.239 --> 01:57:50.119 Is the stupidest one that is by far because that 2438 01:57:50.159 --> 01:57:54.760 doesn't even make sense with your own logic. Really, that 2439 01:57:54.840 --> 01:57:58.119 one is just wild. Want would put you in the deck? 2440 01:57:58.199 --> 01:58:01.680 Yeah he would, he would stop on it. Actually not 2441 01:58:01.720 --> 01:58:05.199 an erotic way either, it would. His logic for that 2442 01:58:05.239 --> 01:58:08.119 one is it is a follow up to three D 2443 01:58:08.640 --> 01:58:10.520 part of the three D which is a handheld game, 2444 01:58:10.880 --> 01:58:13.279 and so it's like that can't count in his mind. 2445 01:58:13.279 --> 01:58:15.279 But it's a different structure. It's not the big like 2446 01:58:15.399 --> 01:58:17.000 open the hub stuff. 2447 01:58:17.119 --> 01:58:20.720 Yes, part ends are Yeah, they're pretty good, Jeff. Did 2448 01:58:20.760 --> 01:58:21.560 you order mine yet? 2449 01:58:21.720 --> 01:58:25.279 Yes, they are on the way there did my season season, 2450 01:58:25.720 --> 01:58:28.800 but fr seasoning the Fri season is the thing you 2451 01:58:28.840 --> 01:58:30.439 said to get. I had to like do a certain 2452 01:58:30.479 --> 01:58:33.680 amount anyhow, because at certain levels before you can order 2453 01:58:33.760 --> 01:58:35.239 delivery or free delivery or something like that. 2454 01:58:35.520 --> 01:58:37.920 So I threw at they get some sauce bottles and 2455 01:58:37.920 --> 01:58:38.640 stuff the sauces. 2456 01:58:39.680 --> 01:58:42.319 Yeah, yeah, yep, I and then I'm basically do the 2457 01:58:42.359 --> 01:58:45.039 exact same order for myself. And that's gonna be Christmas dinner. 2458 01:58:45.119 --> 01:58:49.199 Oh yes, last night. 2459 01:58:49.479 --> 01:58:52.920 I need to get on the casey Joe's damn, just 2460 01:58:52.920 --> 01:58:54.279 just win a bet against me and I have to 2461 01:58:54.279 --> 01:58:54.840 buy it for you. 2462 01:58:55.000 --> 01:58:57.520 That is a good bet. Winning thing, like a fun thing. 2463 01:58:57.560 --> 01:58:59.640 You wouldn't necessarily splire jump for yourself all the time. 2464 01:58:59.720 --> 01:59:01.199 But yeah, that's a good one. 2465 01:59:01.520 --> 01:59:03.800 What if we just do that for team dinner?
