Speaker 2: one hundred, one hundredth episode. Do you want me on.
Speaker 2: I said no, we've locked in Jake Decker and he
Speaker 2: was like fair enough. He was like who I was
Speaker 2: like game on game Pass as mentioned there, Yes, this
Speaker 2: is this is a double celebration. This is the one
Speaker 2: hundredth episode of Game Spot After Dog, a podcast that
Speaker 2: was created and pioneered by Jake. But it's also the
Speaker 2: one thousandth video for one Lucy James one thousand videos.
Speaker 4: The only reason we're doing this.
Speaker 3: Yesterday, Hey man, can we do the video?
Speaker 5: All the comments will be like, where's the rest of
Speaker 5: the video?
Speaker 1: Art?
Speaker 2: We needed.
Speaker 5: Ninety nine?
Speaker 2: This is It's just this one. It's literally when you
Speaker 2: like get your mates to come online to grind a
Speaker 2: game just because you need that trophy. This is the
Speaker 2: this is the podcast equivalent of it appreciate you all.
Speaker 2: We are we are doing a double celebration. What does
Speaker 2: that mean? It just means that we we we do
Speaker 2: a normal podcast, but with our friends, so good times.
Speaker 2: We don't need to do the the segment what was it?
Speaker 2: What's the segment called? Again? What's the name?
Speaker 4: Dude?
Speaker 2: I don't care about Chris anymore. He doesn't listen to this.
Speaker 1: Christ doesn't have episode four.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly he's going to do.
Speaker 3: Listen, please let us know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, try that.
Speaker 2: If you don't, if you don't, if you don't, let
Speaker 2: us know somehow that you're listening. We're renaming the segment
Speaker 2: to someone else. I think, like we changed from California segment. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we'll change it to the Jake Dekka from California segment. Anyways,
Speaker 2: what we've been playing. I'm going to select Lucy to
Speaker 2: go first. Oh, Hello, what you've been playing, what you've
Speaker 2: been doing, what you've been experiencing other than E three?
Speaker 3: Not a lot, No, I'm kidding. So I did finished
Speaker 3: mass Fact three, finished Massic trilogy, had a lovely time,
Speaker 3: did a small cry. But the thing I would like
Speaker 3: to discuss is that I saw Fast nine yesterday in
Speaker 3: forty X. Because one of my friends here in the
Speaker 3: UK literally refuses to go see a movie unless it's
Speaker 3: in forty X. We went to see A Quiet Place
Speaker 3: too in forty X. It gets surprisingly loud. I don't
Speaker 3: know it was good. I had a nice time, but
Speaker 3: I will say I saw The Terminator too in forty X,
Speaker 3: and honestly, like maybe top ten moments of my life,
Speaker 3: I almost cried. It was incredible Fast nine in forty
Speaker 3: X was very very good. That movie is so stupid.
Speaker 3: I had a really fun time. There are bits where like,
Speaker 3: obviously they ruined the whole hand stuff coming back like
Speaker 3: in a trailer already, but even the way they reveal
Speaker 3: him in the film, like me and my friend Neil
Speaker 3: just going like yes. There are just some absolutely outrageous
Speaker 3: stunts like rocket car going into space, the whole thing.
Speaker 3: There are just some real clangers of lines, but clangers
Speaker 3: to the point where it's like, oh, that's a fast
Speaker 3: and furious line, So I still love it. Charlie Stron
Speaker 3: for some reason is wearing leather pants the whole time
Speaker 3: and has a really terrible haircut that just couldn't go over.
Speaker 3: It's like those movies shouldn't work, and yet they do.
Speaker 3: And really I had a really fun time with it,
Speaker 3: and I just was buzzing at the end of it.
Speaker 3: But also I had loads of tension in my back.
Speaker 3: And there's a scene like any car chase, where like
Speaker 3: bullets are flying the chair just like pummels you. So
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, it's just like being one of
Speaker 3: those chairs you get the airport. It was lovely.
Speaker 2: Jake, You've also seen it, right, what did you think
Speaker 2: of it?
Speaker 1: I did see it, and the only thing I will
Speaker 1: ever remember from that movie is the very strange Star
Speaker 1: Wars conversation that happens like that was I was like,
Speaker 1: why is this in the movie. It felt like an
Speaker 1: interurn wrote it, and they were like, well, he likes
Speaker 1: Star Wars or no. It felt like George Lucas wrote
Speaker 1: that to be honest, and let's just keep it in
Speaker 1: is to pay homage to him or something. But it
Speaker 1: is so out of place. It's so strange. Characters just
Speaker 1: start comparing themselves to Star Wars characters, but.
Speaker 3: It's almost as if it's like lazy writing, so they
Speaker 3: don't have to think about their own characters or archetypes
Speaker 3: or whatever. It's like, let's just reference Star Wars characters. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and then if it's so weird it sticks out so much.
Speaker 1: I don't know how it didn't get cut. I think
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, let's try a little God what's
Speaker 1: it called when people don't I forget what it's called,
Speaker 1: but when people just say things that come to their mind.
Speaker 4: Improv that's the word.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it felt like it felt like an improv scene
Speaker 1: that they're just like, let's just leave it in here.
Speaker 2: That's very good.
Speaker 5: It was like, I'm like Luke Skywicker. And then she's like, no,
Speaker 5: you're like Yoda. I'm like, yeah, I'm like Yoda. And
Speaker 5: then she says something like yeah, Yoda fucking dies, Like.
Speaker 1: What okay, Yoda has a hand up his ass controlling him,
Speaker 1: because he's.
Speaker 3: Exactly But I felt like, also up until that point,
Speaker 3: the like this random bad guy. He hasn't really had
Speaker 3: anything else, and that's his key scene talking to Charlie's
Speaker 3: theron about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so weird. It was an enjoyable movie, but
Speaker 1: I know that in a year from now, I will
Speaker 1: forget all of it except that scene.
Speaker 2: I could it could be like setting the foundation for
Speaker 2: when when they inevitably transform it into a sci fi movie.
Speaker 2: In Space, they went to space. They went to space,
Speaker 2: like when they fully get tie fighters and stop.
Speaker 5: That's the direction of going. You said, you send Roman
Speaker 5: up to space, dog yo. Next thing is fucking rocket
Speaker 5: cars with lasers on them ships.
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 3: Also, they do a really weird thing where Roman starts
Speaker 3: discussing like he has this weird existential crisis about how
Speaker 3: come they never die?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's it's really cute.
Speaker 3: It's really cute, but it's also just like him kind
Speaker 3: of thinking out loud, Hey, do we have plot armor?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: It's funny.
Speaker 1: Even half the characters in that movie do a plot armor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: no one dies.
Speaker 2: I haven't seen this, but I think like the response
Speaker 2: to it that I've seen is kind of like much
Speaker 2: less enthused than the expectation and the joy for going
Speaker 2: into it. It feels like people have very much come
Speaker 2: out of it and they're like in that phase where
Speaker 2: they're like, I have to act like I really enjoyed
Speaker 2: this because I was so hyped going in and like
Speaker 2: I'm I'm, I'm I fear for the future of that franchise.
Speaker 2: Now I feel like, I don't know, there's not only
Speaker 2: two left. There's no way there's only two left. Not
Speaker 2: in Hell.
Speaker 5: On the Fast Awakens and yeah, the last.
Speaker 2: Furious the Furious unleashed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there is a mid credit scene, and it did
Speaker 3: get me very hoped for what isn't it?
Speaker 2: So I'm going to try and watch it soon. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I I I'm gonna go out there and say this.
Speaker 2: I'm probably gonna get shipped for it, but I feel
Speaker 2: like we're at the start of the decline of this series.
Speaker 2: Now like this is it's pretty good. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: like they solid solid, I mean like solid run for
Speaker 2: the last few the first few words shy, let's be honest,
Speaker 2: but oh come on, they became the culture. You like,
Speaker 2: your retro for the culture, for the street culture. But
Speaker 2: like most people does movies retroactively because of what the franchise,
Speaker 2: the context they're put in, because of the newer ones.
Speaker 2: But watched the one there on just like I feel
Speaker 2: like we reached the peak with was it seven or eight?
Speaker 2: Which ones?
Speaker 3: Well, seven is the one WHE deal with.
Speaker 2: And an eight is where it like really hit. I
Speaker 2: think the Paul Walker one was was eight is.
Speaker 3: Where I like there's a plot twist and eight that
Speaker 3: really just got And I think it's because I watched
Speaker 3: them all within like two weeks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I.
Speaker 3: Feel like very very invested.
Speaker 2: Seven was where everyone went, oh, this franchise actually means
Speaker 2: something to me. And then eight is where people went, oh,
Speaker 2: this is some wild shit going on. I'm into this
Speaker 2: and now I feel like it's it's the downward spiral
Speaker 2: is going to happen.
Speaker 3: Also hearing hearing how much influence Vin Diesel has like,
Speaker 3: do you hear about that weird thing that like he
Speaker 3: and the Rock had to trade like the same number
Speaker 3: of blows and stuff. But knowing just how integral he
Speaker 3: is to the front, and I assume he has so
Speaker 3: much control behind the scenes. This is such a domb movie.
Speaker 3: But Vin Diesel is not good enough to carry it
Speaker 3: like and I said that with love because I think
Speaker 3: Dom was an amazing character. But there were some bits
Speaker 3: in this where he has to show like different like
Speaker 3: ranges of emotion and all. I just noticed him doing
Speaker 3: this at the very beginning, and then I couldn't stop
Speaker 3: seeing it. But the only way he can show like
Speaker 3: anguish is to purse his lips ever so slightly.
Speaker 1: It's the same expression for everything.
Speaker 3: He uses it so much this movie. Also, there's like
Speaker 3: a flashback scene and I couldn't figure out who that
Speaker 3: was meant to be, Like him.
Speaker 1: Is like a foot and a half taller than Vin Diesel.
Speaker 2: My favorite thing about that whole kind of like intro
Speaker 2: dynamic between them is like because the Rock and Vin
Speaker 2: Diesel like notoriously fell out and they did not like
Speaker 2: each other for a long time. And then Vin Diesel
Speaker 2: commented commented on it recently and it was he said
Speaker 2: he was like behaving quite like aggressively and demanding a
Speaker 2: lot of the rock because he only wants like he
Speaker 2: wants his movies to have the best performances, and he
Speaker 2: pushes all his actors. And everyone just tweeted it with
Speaker 2: like Vin Diesel is pushing be actors for like good performances.
Speaker 2: My man's own performances are like trashed here.
Speaker 1: I was surprised they didn't name Dom's brothers sub Wow, wow,
Speaker 1: that would be like, that's all I got him out,
Speaker 1: that's it, that's it, that.
Speaker 2: Would be in line. No, no one would mind that.
Speaker 2: I think that would be absolutely fine. But yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go watch it this weekend. We'll see how it goes.
Speaker 2: Hopefully this weekend, I'll see how I feel. Jean look
Speaker 2: or you've been up to.
Speaker 4: I've been a poker around with a bunch of different
Speaker 4: random things. But I recently hopped into Halo the Master
Speaker 4: Chief Collection because they just put out their season seven Elite,
Speaker 4: which is basically they've just been like doing a thing
Speaker 4: for I don't know how long three seasons last, but
Speaker 4: like they put on new seasons where they've been fixing
Speaker 4: the games adding new content, and then specifically they're adding like, uh,
Speaker 4: stuff from Halo Online, which was that free to play
Speaker 4: Russian game. I think it's really weird. So they're I'm
Speaker 4: of two minds of it, because like they're adding all
Speaker 4: of this like extra armor that you can like put
Speaker 4: into like Halo three or Halo four, and they're adding
Speaker 4: like new maps from those and like it all feels
Speaker 4: it doesn't feel cohesive necessarily, and it like it kind
Speaker 4: of straights from the original vision of the Master Chief collection,
Speaker 4: where you're like, oh, this is like preserving these games,
Speaker 4: and they're like, what if we put in this like
Speaker 4: random map made by these like this other studio into
Speaker 4: Halo three and you play it and you're like, yeah,
Speaker 4: this is a map. I guess I don't know, it's okay.
Speaker 4: Like like the new map they added is like it's
Speaker 4: a Halo three map, but all of the artissets look
Speaker 4: like they're from Halo four. It's like really weird. It
Speaker 4: doesn't mesh at all. It's a strange experience. I don't
Speaker 4: think you can filter the maps out that I'm aware of.
Speaker 4: I didn't see anything, but you can at least filter
Speaker 4: the armor out so you can go to the settings
Speaker 4: and if you want to, like say, I don't want
Speaker 4: to see any of like the new armor, both on
Speaker 4: myself and other players, you can actually just go turn
Speaker 4: that off in the menu, which is kind of nice.
Speaker 4: It just like defaults everyone to like the standard Spartan armor,
Speaker 4: the standard of the armor, so that's cool. But mostly
Speaker 4: I'm just like it was just kind of fun to
Speaker 4: like hop back into Halo. I was feeling that itch
Speaker 4: after Halo Infinite and I was like, yeah, I want
Speaker 4: to play some Halo. Matchmaking is still like pretty good
Speaker 4: at this point, Like I had no issues with it.
Speaker 4: Plenty of people are playing it. They recently added like
Speaker 4: a surfer browser. It's in beta, so it only works
Speaker 4: for reach, but like you can now just like pull
Speaker 4: up like old school like counter Strike style, like here's
Speaker 4: a list of like all these different servers with like
Speaker 4: you know, like Snipe's only xxx no nubes, fourteen out
Speaker 4: of you know, sixteen players two hundred ping, and you're like,
Speaker 4: all right, let's go. I'm I'm gonna hop in. So
Speaker 4: like it's wild to see that in like a Halo
Speaker 4: game on like our console, because you're like, oh, okay,
Speaker 4: like it's cool that they're adding that shit in there.
Speaker 4: And then and then the other thing that's like worth
Speaker 4: talking about with this update is they actually went back
Speaker 4: and they fixed Halo one. I don't know if you
Speaker 4: guys are like aware of this, but like the uh
Speaker 4: Halo one, not the Anniversary version. The original like OG
Speaker 4: Xbox graphics are actually not correct. Like if you were
Speaker 4: to compare them to the original Xbox they they have
Speaker 4: like all these like kind of broken stuff where like
Speaker 4: certain lighting things don't work, or like the textures on
Speaker 4: on like stuff is wrong. And that is apparently in
Speaker 4: an issue that has gone all the way back to
Speaker 4: like the OG Gearbox like PC release from like two
Speaker 4: thousand and three, because that's the version they used to
Speaker 4: port Halo two the Master Chief Collection, and so it's
Speaker 4: had all these issues for years, and like the fans
Speaker 4: have been asking them, like, hey, you're going to fix it.
Speaker 4: You're going to fix this because it's like it doesn't
Speaker 4: look as good as the original Xbox version, and they
Speaker 4: finally have actually started to like address all that stuff.
Speaker 4: It's it's really cool. There's a really great Digital Foundry
Speaker 4: video you can go check out where they kind of
Speaker 4: like detailed all those changes. It's mostly just like I
Speaker 4: don't know. It's like I have to commend three four
Speaker 4: to three for like actually going out of their way
Speaker 4: to fix that. Like that doesn't really happen that often,
Speaker 4: especially for a game that what like it came out
Speaker 4: like twenty fourteen, that's like seven years ago that the
Speaker 4: Maschief Collection came out. It's just I'm like continually amazed
Speaker 4: that they're like still updating that game. I mean, I know,
Speaker 4: it's like Microsoft, so they have like all this money
Speaker 4: and acanthrow it because it's Halo. But like there was
Speaker 4: a period where I was like, Yep, this thing is
Speaker 4: dead and they're never gonna They're never gonna fix it.
Speaker 4: So the fact that they did, I think it's like
Speaker 4: it's pretty cool nice.
Speaker 1: I actually played some Halo Mass Chief Collection on my
Speaker 1: on my phone because I tried out x cloud for
Speaker 1: the first time. I think I think they just added
Speaker 1: it to Apple products because before very very recently and browsers. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was just in the living room, like I set
Speaker 1: up my phone, I guess set it on the table.
Speaker 1: I was just playing some Mass Chief collection. It worked
Speaker 1: surprisingly well. I don't know if i'd play multiplayer, but
Speaker 1: I was playing Halo one campaign and it was it
Speaker 1: was great, Like connected my controller in two seconds. Definitely
Speaker 1: give it a shot, Like you probably won't play a
Speaker 1: lot with it, but it's just it's kind of mind blowing.
Speaker 3: I really want to do that because I've really wanted
Speaker 3: to get a backbone and I didn't. But now the
Speaker 3: x cloud is on iOS properly, I'm like I could. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but like I'm one of those people who I love
Speaker 3: sitting at a couch and playing a game. But there's
Speaker 3: nothing quite like Sunday morning cup of coffee in bed
Speaker 3: with a game. But like, yeah, so I have I
Speaker 3: have like a small tablet on my.
Speaker 2: Nice Michael, what you've been up to?
Speaker 5: I play the Neo the World Ends with You demo
Speaker 5: and it was pretty much it's pretty much the same
Speaker 5: as the preview that I preview billed. I played a
Speaker 5: month or so back, so I've and I talked about
Speaker 5: my experience, but now everyone else can experience it because
Speaker 5: that demo is out there, and it's still pretty cool.
Speaker 5: I don't know how Like I'm super into the combat
Speaker 5: system and how they've reworked it so that you don't
Speaker 5: have to like obviously you can't rely on touch controls
Speaker 5: because it is A is also going to be on
Speaker 5: PC and PS four, and it's it plays like A
Speaker 5: plays like a pretty standard action RPG, but like the
Speaker 5: pin system. If y'all play tweet weee before the pin
Speaker 5: system where you can have all these differ attacks and stuff,
Speaker 5: oh my god, grow up. But yeah, it's it's pretty fun.
Speaker 5: I don't know how how much how long that's gonna,
Speaker 5: like if the if that comment system is gonna wear
Speaker 5: off at all at a certain point. I know you
Speaker 5: do get more party members, you do. There's like over
Speaker 5: like I think like three hundred different pins that you
Speaker 5: can mess around with, so there's a lot of variation.
Speaker 5: I just don't know how necessary it's gonna because the
Speaker 5: fights so far have been really fun. But I don't
Speaker 5: see I like, I had like a certain setup and
Speaker 5: I was like, Okay, I'm good with this setup. I
Speaker 5: don't necessarily need uh to mess with other ones. But
Speaker 5: of course that's just the demo, which is like the
Speaker 5: first three hours of the game. Yeah, but yeah, that one,
Speaker 5: that one's coming out later this month and Squanics, I'm
Speaker 5: looking at you to come through with them codes. Bro, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm I wanna, I wanna. I'm very interesting. I'm a
Speaker 5: lot more interested in this game after, like after playing
Speaker 5: the preview, I was like, oh cool, they're making another
Speaker 5: world ends with you then played them, like, oh shit,
Speaker 5: this game is pretty dope. And it's I said this
Speaker 5: before when I talk about the first time, but now
Speaker 5: that we're here, it has has that added that young
Speaker 5: that youthful attitude that's kind of cheesy, kind of corny,
Speaker 5: but I'm just like, you know what, I'm kind of
Speaker 5: into it. It makes me feel young again. And uh yeah,
Speaker 5: y'all should y'all should beat that demos on PS four
Speaker 5: and Switch. I was playing on Switch and it works
Speaker 5: pretty well. I've been yeah, and I've been using my
Speaker 5: switch quite a bit because I also played Monster Hunter
Speaker 5: Stories too, which is also a demo with progress that
Speaker 5: carries over that is out soon er. Actually I think
Speaker 5: that's out on the ninth. Yeah, it was one of
Speaker 5: the games at like we we've seen Monster Hunter Stories
Speaker 5: two before E three, but it was one of the
Speaker 5: games that stood out to me at E three. I
Speaker 5: mean that wasn't much, to be honest, especially during the
Speaker 5: Capcom thing. So when Capcom showed off, like showed a
Speaker 5: new trailer for Monster or Stories too, and then was
Speaker 5: on Treehouse for Switch. I was like, oh, snap, this
Speaker 5: is this might be up my alley. I played the
Speaker 5: played the but I don't know if it's for me.
Speaker 5: Man that the comment system is like a rock paper
Speaker 5: scissors thing and you have to like predict what the
Speaker 5: enemy is going to attack you with, and then you
Speaker 5: need to counter them with like the with whatever, Yeah,
Speaker 5: with with whatever counter So I don't think it's terribly interesting.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I guess it is the most sort of like beginner friend,
Speaker 3: like your version of Monster Hunter.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's a turn based, turn based rpg, so
Speaker 5: it's not necessarily like you're going out and hunting monsters
Speaker 5: and walloping them with big ass hammers.
Speaker 2: And ship Uh.
Speaker 5: It's it's uh because like I don't know turn based RPGs.
Speaker 5: That's kind of my thing.
Speaker 2: Uh, But I don't know, it's.
Speaker 5: It's cool maybe, Uh, I don't know if I canna
Speaker 5: put more time into it, though I don't think that's
Speaker 5: the I don't think that game is for me. So
Speaker 5: and one more thing, I've been watching a little Korean
Speaker 5: drama called Vincenzo on Netflix yo, what is that? That's
Speaker 5: some ship that's popping. It's about a Korean dude who
Speaker 5: grew up in Italy. Who got who got in the mafia?
Speaker 5: Oh he's he's like an elite mafia member. And then
Speaker 5: he goes back to he goes back to Korea to
Speaker 5: like settle something that that was like happening long ago.
Speaker 5: And it is so fun is it's a dark comedy
Speaker 5: and like and a very serious drama at the same time.
Speaker 5: It is so good. It is so good. I'm on
Speaker 5: episode fifteen. Oh my god, there are so many hot
Speaker 5: dudes in this.
Speaker 3: I just looked at the poster.
Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't know if y'all are into
Speaker 5: like K pop stars, but my boy Takon from two PM.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, he's the I swear he is the
Speaker 5: finest dude I've ever seen in my life. Oh and
Speaker 5: he's not the star, but he's like a very important
Speaker 5: character in it.
Speaker 2: But oh my god.
Speaker 5: And the main dude, oh my god, he's got Oh
Speaker 5: my god, everyone the guy on the poster.
Speaker 3: I assumes the main guy is yeah, an absolutely ten
Speaker 3: out of ten.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's all I got him. You give him his roses,
Speaker 2: you know, what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Speaking speaking of Netflix, because I didn't know this was
Speaker 3: even happening, So consider this a p s A. But
Speaker 3: The Naked Director Season two has just dropped, and like
Speaker 3: The Naked Director, Michael, I think you and John Dick
Speaker 3: would actually love it.
Speaker 2: If you haven't seen it.
Speaker 3: It's it's basically like, it's very very yakuza. It's about
Speaker 3: the the guy from the eighties who wanted to make
Speaker 3: raper pawn in Japan.
Speaker 5: But like, I don't know if I want to see
Speaker 5: cure you.
Speaker 4: Is?
Speaker 3: It is amazing, Like it is so funny. It is
Speaker 3: a real it's really wacky. The Naked Director Season two
Speaker 3: just drops and it's based on a real story as well,
Speaker 3: which makes it even wilder.
Speaker 4: So Mexico was telling me about it and he just
Speaker 4: all he said to me was it's got big yakus
Speaker 4: zero energy. I said, say less, I'm in, let's go.
Speaker 2: It's very good. You should You should both definitely check
Speaker 2: out Hell yeah, say less, Jake, what you've been up to?
Speaker 1: I just finished Psycho Nauts for the first time since
Speaker 1: two thousand and four or two thousand and five. Whenever
Speaker 1: it came out. I was a bit nervous about replaying it,
Speaker 1: which then I saw kurtz video which was really good,
Speaker 1: and I was like, Okay, I'm going to replay it,
Speaker 1: and talking to him, he was also nervous about replaying it,
Speaker 1: but ended up enjoying it quite a bit. But man,
Speaker 1: that game is so good. The platforming has not aged well,
Speaker 1: but the settings, the design, character.
Speaker 5: Levels, like the art direction is timeless so good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm the Milkman. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Is probably one of the most memorable levels in a
Speaker 1: game for me. But I was surprised every level in
Speaker 1: that game I remembered surprisingly well for only having played
Speaker 1: this game once in two thousand and five. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember the Bounce party that you go to. Yep,
Speaker 1: I remember the bull run that you do later on.
Speaker 1: It's It's so good. If you haven't played it, highly
Speaker 1: recommend giving it a shot. It's on game Pass, and
Speaker 1: you know the sequels coming out very soon, and I'm
Speaker 1: just amazed that we're even getting a sequel. I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: it got announced in twenty sixteen, and I remember, this
Speaker 1: is the only thing I've ever backed was Psychonot's two SQL,
Speaker 1: and it was supposed to come out in like twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1: It says that on the fig page too, but it
Speaker 1: you know, if it's a good game, that's okay. I'll
Speaker 1: wait as long as I need to wait.
Speaker 4: I shocked how much because like I've been playing it
Speaker 4: for the first time. Actually I'm like partway through it,
Speaker 4: and I love it.
Speaker 1: It's great.
Speaker 4: But I like, I started paying more attention to Psychonauts
Speaker 4: two because I've been playing the first one now and
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, yeah, I want to play Psyconds two
Speaker 4: now because this is dope, and I am shocked how much.
Speaker 4: It just looks exactly like Psychonots one, but like better,
Speaker 4: like the gameplay, the characters. I was like, oh, this
Speaker 4: is just the same game, but like made in twenty
Speaker 4: twenty one, and like a good way. Like I was like,
Speaker 4: oh wow, Like it's not like they're trying to like
Speaker 4: it's not like a Beyond Good and Evil two situation
Speaker 4: where it's like y'all wanted Psycho Knots too. Well, here
Speaker 4: it is and it's like all this like weird, like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: it's like, no, it's just Psycho Knots Too. It's that
Speaker 4: same game, but we made a sequel, and I'm like
Speaker 4: hell yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm very excited. I'm amazed because I think in
Speaker 1: Kurt's video he said that by the end of the
Speaker 1: year it only sold one hundred thousand copies, and it's
Speaker 1: just to me, it's amazing, amazing that like Double Find
Speaker 1: survived that, Like how how like that? That's so I
Speaker 1: don't know. There must have been people who are very
Speaker 1: much believed in Tim Schaeffer and that team's visions in
Speaker 1: order to stick with them because.
Speaker 2: They had a deal for a little while with was
Speaker 2: it THQ or they had to make like three games
Speaker 2: for them. Oh maybe that's like stacking Costume Quest. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that Trench that was it. I think it was THHU
Speaker 2: but like that was that was a big part of
Speaker 2: the the the the Double Find time.
Speaker 4: That was Uh that was after Brutal Legend, which also
Speaker 4: I want to say sold under.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Brutal Legend was a bit of a
Speaker 2: flop as well. Legend it's a good game, it's a
Speaker 2: great game.
Speaker 6: But yeah, but.
Speaker 1: Apart from that, I've been I've been playing Dead by
Speaker 1: Daylight the first time I've played it. Uh it is
Speaker 1: I love it and hate it at the same time,
Speaker 1: just because coming into that game five years in there
Speaker 1: is so much to learn. Uh, there's so many different killers,
Speaker 1: there's so many different survivors, all with different personabilities. But
Speaker 1: the core gameplay is like so interesting and fun and
Speaker 1: every match feels different and different things can happen and
Speaker 1: it's very exciting. But like, man, I get frustrated sometimes
Speaker 1: because I found out last night that because I'd never
Speaker 1: played against Michael Myers, Michael Myers doesn't make like normally,
Speaker 1: when a killer is close, you can hear your heartbeat,
Speaker 1: but for some reason, that doesn't happen with Michael Myers. So,
Speaker 1: like three of us are surrounding a generator, fixing it,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden he just comes through and slashers,
Speaker 1: and so what the how are we supposed to know?
Speaker 1: And then we look it up and like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: he can't run, but he no one knows when he's there. Wow, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's kind of cool. But yeah, that games a lot,
Speaker 1: but it's very good.
Speaker 5: It.
Speaker 1: Once again saw it on game Pass and Matt Paget
Speaker 1: was like, I really want to play this, and I
Speaker 1: was like, all right, I'll give it a shot.
Speaker 3: Is the Resident Evil crossover yet?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think it. I mean, technically it's done but I
Speaker 1: think you can still get those characters and the map
Speaker 1: is still there. So I've just been playing Is. I've
Speaker 1: been swapping between Jill and Leon. Yeah Hill there as well,
Speaker 1: Like there's Silent Hill. There's a Silent Hill map too,
Speaker 1: but it does not fit the game at all. It's
Speaker 1: multi stories, so you don't know if someone's actually close
Speaker 1: to you or if they're just on the floor above you.
Speaker 1: It's way too small it. Like I I just leave
Speaker 1: whenever that map comes up, which sucks because the matchmaking
Speaker 1: in that game is really slow. At least on Xbox,
Speaker 1: you can wait up to ten minutes to get to
Speaker 1: a game that sucks.
Speaker 2: I want to try that game. I heard so much
Speaker 2: about it. It's a good time, all right, cool. I've
Speaker 2: been playing a lot of Valorant. That's pretty much the
Speaker 2: only thing I've been playing lately. Paid see If Thieves
Speaker 2: as well, and I've been like playing and working my
Speaker 2: way from Mass Effect. But the game that I'm like
Speaker 2: focused on is Valorant now right now, just trying to
Speaker 2: get good at it, and it's a it's a great game.
Speaker 2: It's a good time.
Speaker 3: You're also very good at it. You drop in clips
Speaker 3: into like our.
Speaker 4: Chat and like that clip you put up on Twitter
Speaker 4: like that was it was like a full team wipe, like.
Speaker 2: It's like four versus one, and like I was just
Speaker 2: like I'm dead, and I was like I'm just gonna
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna wait for them to come to me
Speaker 2: a little like patient strategy. And that was my first
Speaker 2: time playing yr, the character I was I've never played
Speaker 2: that character before, so I was like, I don't know
Speaker 2: how Usually when I usually Maine Jet, who is my girl,
Speaker 2: stay in love with Jet. She's amazing, she's an airbender,
Speaker 2: but like someone beat me to selecting her install lockdo,
Speaker 2: and I was like, I guess I'll play your Your
Speaker 2: is like a little anime boy and he's like able
Speaker 2: to mess with like time, not time like space. So
Speaker 2: basically he can like teleport and he's got a flash bang,
Speaker 2: and he can also create like an apparition of himself
Speaker 2: that he can send out and then teleport positions with them,
Speaker 2: which is really cool. But so I was like, I'll
Speaker 2: try him out. And I just got really really like
Speaker 2: lucky with like the fact that I needed a flashbang
Speaker 2: in that exact moment, and I happened to be the
Speaker 2: character that had the flash bang. If I was JET,
Speaker 2: I would have had to. Like, there's so many things
Speaker 2: that fell into place in that moment. There was like
Speaker 2: a I took out two of them because they came
Speaker 2: in in like towards me, and then one of them
Speaker 2: was hiding around a corner. But the only reason I
Speaker 2: knew that they were there is because I threw that
Speaker 2: flash bang and they reacted by just firing. So I
Speaker 2: saw the bullets coming, So I was like, if I
Speaker 2: was JET, I wouldn't have been able to do that.
Speaker 2: I would have like thrown my cloud burst down, which
Speaker 2: is another kind of like AoE smoke effect, but they
Speaker 2: wouldn't have needed to fire. So it was like perfect moment,
Speaker 2: a bunch of things. And also the wildest thing is
Speaker 2: if you look, I had six bullets left in my
Speaker 2: magazine going up against two enemies, like, so I like
Speaker 2: had the perfect amount of bullets. The last bullet that
Speaker 2: hit the final enemy ended and I reload animation started,
Speaker 2: and like, I didn't immediately think to switch to my knife,
Speaker 2: so I let the reload animation play out, which meant
Speaker 2: the bomb got one like got closer to exploding, and
Speaker 2: then I immediately switched to my knife and ran over,
Speaker 2: so like I think I diffused the bomb on the
Speaker 2: very last second, like the last last second, and I
Speaker 2: was like, shit, that was wild, but like I think
Speaker 2: that's going in Like you know, the the lad who
Speaker 2: does highlight reel Yea was like can I can I
Speaker 2: put that in there? I was like, yeah, go for it.
Speaker 2: I was watching.
Speaker 5: I was watching that clip and maybe maybe my butt clinch.
Speaker 2: So I've been playing like we played Jake and I
Speaker 2: played a bit as well, like we played over there
Speaker 2: was it last weekend?
Speaker 1: Last week Yeah, I'm not very good at this and
Speaker 1: then you were near the top of the leaderboard every time.
Speaker 2: But that was playing on the US Service. So I
Speaker 2: had Mad leg as well, so like better like it
Speaker 2: was me Jake, Matt was there as well, and then
Speaker 2: I played with Melissa who's a friend, and Tucker who's
Speaker 2: in the US like friend and friends that I met
Speaker 2: through like Andy Cortez's streams and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: And yeah, whenever I play with Andy or Melissa or
Speaker 2: Tucker or like Mad those those groups of people, it's
Speaker 2: I have to play on American Service and it's like
Speaker 2: it genuinely feels like training in the hyperbaric time chamber
Speaker 2: in Dragon Ballsy like where.
Speaker 1: Like ten Pining fifteen, Yeah, one hundred and fifty min.
Speaker 2: It's like one hundred and fifty seven. So like everything
Speaker 2: I have to do early and nothing feels like it's hitting.
Speaker 2: But I like play with I play with Andy Salcery
Speaker 2: as well. It's the same thing. And then I go
Speaker 2: back into my EU servers and I feel like rock
Speaker 2: Lee after he's dropped his weights and I'm just like
Speaker 2: running around just headshowing everyone. It's wild. But yeah, that
Speaker 2: game isn't That game is so so satisfying, And yeah,
Speaker 2: they do. They There's so many smart things happening in
Speaker 2: that game. Like my favorite thing is like when you
Speaker 2: get consecutive kills. Every time you kill someone, it plays
Speaker 2: like a musical note, and then if you keep changing,
Speaker 2: it's like bump bump, bump bump, and like if you
Speaker 2: do like loads of kills in a row, it's just
Speaker 2: like it's They make killing so satisfying in that game.
Speaker 2: And because it's like one click as well, Like if
Speaker 2: you're like good, I've reached a point where I'm so
Speaker 2: focused on just trying to one tap everyone. This is
Speaker 2: so satisfying to see an enemy just put your cross
Speaker 2: on them and click once and they're gone, and like
Speaker 2: you're like, god, it feels so good. And then you
Speaker 2: go back and then like I love Overwatch, but like
Speaker 2: I go back to Overwatch and I'm like just firing
Speaker 2: into shields for like twenty minutes at a time for
Speaker 2: an engagement, and just like I miss just being like
Speaker 2: like just it all being skill based instead of like
Speaker 2: all these wacky like And we have a friend who
Speaker 2: used to who we play a bunch of a gains
Speaker 2: we used to play way more with called fa and
Speaker 2: he would describe Overwatch as Mario Party first person shooter,
Speaker 2: and like now I feel it. Now I get what
Speaker 2: he's talking about, because it's just it's silly season constantly,
Speaker 2: like especially after playing loads of like Valerie and CS.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm trying to get more people to play
Speaker 2: with me because like especially in the UK side, like
Speaker 2: no one in the UK already plays it that much.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get Dave on it. So I mostly
Speaker 2: just stream it and do like Spike Rush and and
Speaker 2: I just got into Ranked the other day and played
Speaker 2: my first ranked. My lost because my team was being
Speaker 2: real weird about it. But like i'mum addicted to that.
Speaker 2: Now that's all I'm playing. Damn, that's what's up. That
Speaker 2: is what's up. And you know what else is up? News?
Speaker 2: We don't have a lot of news except we have
Speaker 2: a lot of news, but we're just going to get
Speaker 2: through it real quickly. So you have a choice here.
Speaker 2: Do you want to hear about someone going to jail
Speaker 2: or do you want to hear about companies being brought up?
Speaker 4: Jill jail?
Speaker 2: You want to get getting locked up? Yeah, he's getting
Speaker 2: locked up. Smallville actor Alison Mack has been sentenced to.
Speaker 3: She mhm blackmailed coerced women into joining a sex cult
Speaker 3: and she gets.
Speaker 2: Three years years. So people who don't know she was
Speaker 2: part of Nexium. The cult, uh that was kind of
Speaker 2: like headed up by Keith Rinieri and was like they
Speaker 2: recruited people as like sex slaves for this. This to
Speaker 2: this dude who's an absolute top ten fucking herb like,

Speaker 2: What were you talking about.
Speaker 7: Us?
Speaker 2: Like, why are you standing this guy?
Speaker 1: Come on?
Speaker 2: That's like the biggest proof that like brainwashing is very
Speaker 2: very real because if you convince a bunch of women
Speaker 2: to like do this insane shit for him.
Speaker 3: It was a self help cult, yeah, meets multi level
Speaker 3: marketing scam with like a fraternity and a sorority within it.
Speaker 3: And they specifically targeted actors in Vancouver and l A

Speaker 3: Wholesome, Jacob very intrigued by this. Yes, yes, a quiz
Speaker 3: about the podcast? Is it a quiz about.
Speaker 4: It's a quiz about the podcast? We have a math section,
Speaker 4: and then we have a memory section.
Speaker 2: Oh no, we'll start with the math.
Speaker 1: Did we do it for the fiftieth? We did?
Speaker 4: Jacob also, Yeah, he hit me up and he said,
Speaker 4: do you want me to do a one hundred and
Speaker 4: one like I did with the fifty? And I'm like
Speaker 4: absolutely because that was a very good time. So all right,
Speaker 4: why don't we just get this started?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 4: First question, this is the mass section. How many episodes
Speaker 4: are actually in the feed? Hint it's not one hundred?
Speaker 3: Oh how many? How many like spoiler reviews?
Speaker 2: Spoilers?
Speaker 3: I think one hundred? How are we doing this? We
Speaker 3: chiming in?
Speaker 4: Are we're going around the room, Sun go around the room.
Speaker 4: And I don't know the answer either. I haven't looked
Speaker 4: at any of the answers.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say one hundred and nine.
Speaker 6: I was gonna say that.
Speaker 1: I'll say one hundred and eight.
Speaker 5: Oh, I was gonna say one oh eight, But I'll
Speaker 5: say one ten.
Speaker 4: Dang, I was gonna say one time.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say one hundred and six.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say, I guess I gotta go one to eleven. Uh,
Speaker 4: all right, the answer is uh, one o nine. Technically
Speaker 4: I should just doubled, but technically one ten if you
Speaker 4: count this episode.
Speaker 6: Oh not in the feed though, Sorry, it's not down
Speaker 6: to feed, all right.
Speaker 4: Total hours podcasted.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm gonna get I'm gonna get a
Speaker 2: calculator up and say.
Speaker 5: What average two hours per Yeah, it's actually.
Speaker 4: One thirty one twenty.
Speaker 2: Hours. I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say two hundred and
Speaker 2: twenty two. That's a lot of hours, Broe.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say two hundred.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say one hundred and sixty three hours and
Speaker 5: thirty minutes.
Speaker 4: I'll say, like you know, the vibes to ten. Okay,
Speaker 4: all right, and the answer is, oh, one hundred and
Speaker 4: fifty eighteen hours.
Speaker 3: Is that, Michael?
Speaker 5: I guess since I'm the closest.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I thought we did a bunch of three
Speaker 2: hours or two and a half hour once.
Speaker 4: We've done a couple of those. We haven't done that many.
Speaker 4: I think we've only done like two or three that
Speaker 4: have gone that high. What is the average length of
Speaker 4: the podcast across all episodes.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say one hour and forty minutes.
Speaker 6: Gonna say one hour fifteen minutes.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say, how do I an hour and an hour?
Speaker 5: Does somebody say hour twenty five minutes? No, No, that's
Speaker 5: That's what I'm going with.
Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna say an hour in twenty three minutes.
Speaker 1: I changed my mind.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say one hour and twenty seven minutes.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sticking with my one hour and forty all.
Speaker 4: Right, eighty seven?
Speaker 1: So that's an hour.
Speaker 5: That's one hour twenty seven Holy shit.
Speaker 3: I swear I did not look at this before.
Speaker 4: I mean you can't because it Jacob only. So I
Speaker 4: don't know how you.
Speaker 1: Winking he could have DM loosey to sh didn't.
Speaker 4: Have episodes gotten longer or shorter since episode fifty. I'm
Speaker 4: gonna say shorter.
Speaker 2: Sure yeah, sure that we've made concerted efforts to make
Speaker 2: him sure yeah, shorter.
Speaker 5: I think so too, right, because like when we used
Speaker 5: to do do them in office, it's like yo vibing
Speaker 5: you know es, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Full point is coming out? How many seconds were wasted
Speaker 2: cracking the four points into the microphone?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 4: The answer is shorter by twelve minutes?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, all right, you're doing math.
Speaker 4: Have episode title has gotten longer or shorter since episode
Speaker 4: so well, I have that one episode title that's got
Speaker 4: the maybe the record for longest. Uh, I'm gonna say longer, probably, yeah, longer.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say sure. Yeah, I'm gonna say shorter.
Speaker 3: Because we used to like list everything and we've just
Speaker 3: sort of gone.
Speaker 2: I guess we had a period where we would put
Speaker 2: people's names in them because we had guests, and then
Speaker 2: we had not as much. Yeah yeah, but like then
Speaker 2: we would list games and stuff we were talking about
Speaker 2: for a period.
Speaker 5: All right, let's see, probably shorter than I'll change my
Speaker 5: hands changing the shorter too.
Speaker 4: Oh god, all right, I was gonna stick with longer,
Speaker 4: But the answer is shorter by a little over one character.
Speaker 4: Oh I love. I love the very specificness of the
Speaker 4: map done here. How many different people have appeared on
Speaker 4: the show?
Speaker 2: Oh, different people?
Speaker 4: Oh my god?
Speaker 6: Remember for including guests?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I get them on the third time. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna say like eighteen, I'm gonna say seventeen.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say thirty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I say like twenty two.
Speaker 3: Twenty had au had like oh yeah, various folks around
Speaker 3: our office we've had, guess, and I was.
Speaker 5: Gonna say twenty seven.

Speaker 4: Sixty six?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: What the wow?
Speaker 1: Do we even know? Sixty six people did that?
Speaker 4: Whoa?
Speaker 2: I guess if you count is this counting just games
Speaker 2: for After Dark or we counting like spoiler reviews, because
Speaker 2: then you're adding like.
Speaker 4: Max and yeah, I guess I spoiler reviews.
Speaker 2: If you're counting spoiler reviews, yeah, in the feed, I
Speaker 2: can't even think of sixty six people that I know.
Speaker 1: Next episode, you guys need to try to name everyone
Speaker 1: who's been on the podcast.
Speaker 2: Oh man, there's a bunch of folks that we had,
Speaker 2: like as guests, like mc fixer was on.
Speaker 3: And Simon Cardy Gregg.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I guess we did have a lot of people.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 2: Damn. I think out to sixty nine and they call
Speaker 2: it there.
Speaker 4: All right, okay, no more people allowed on? Who will
Speaker 4: be our sixty ninth guest though?
Speaker 2: No new friends? I don't know Phil Spencer? H yeah
Speaker 2: we do, you got Phil Spencer?
Speaker 1: I'm good.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 4: Which people have appeared on the most shows? So top five?
Speaker 3: Top five people who appear on the most.

Speaker 8: think Jake, Cally, Jake Cally, Lucy.
Speaker 2: And me.
Speaker 5: Yeah that's five, right, those four, and then probably Jean Luke,
Speaker 5: I would say, Jean Luke.
Speaker 2: Jean Luke.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, yeah, there's been there have been lost.
Speaker 2: Here make sen.
Speaker 6: I don't well, I.

Speaker 4: has been on eighty four times, Lucy has been on
Speaker 4: sixty six times. CALLI has been on sixty four times.
Speaker 4: I've been on fifty two times, and Timore has been
Speaker 4: on forty nine times. Let's go surprise. I figured it out.
Speaker 4: I'd be the lowest.
Speaker 1: But you guys still got some catching up today.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you reached the Podfather. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Uh ooh, it's my get all depressing. What percentage of
Speaker 4: the show has been from home?
Speaker 1: I think I know the exact number for this. I
Speaker 1: think I'm pretty sure it's.
Speaker 2: Like sixty sixty Yeah, six, I'd say sixty sixty six percent. Yes,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go sixty let's good.
Speaker 1: Thirty five, sixty five? I think is it it's sixty
Speaker 1: five or sixty six. I'm willing to bet this episode.
Speaker 4: I'll say sixty sixty four. Okay, answer is eighty two.
Speaker 1: I guess because we did more more, there were more,
Speaker 1: we did more spoilers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we did more.
Speaker 1: But I think our last one in the office was
Speaker 1: like thirty four thirty five or something. I remember it
Speaker 1: was Peter Brown's last episode, or was Peter brown last day?
Speaker 4: Was the last day in the office.
Speaker 1: Had been canceled, and we were talking about you three
Speaker 1: being canceled.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of things that make me feel like
Speaker 2: depressed by the passage of time lately. That is near
Speaker 2: the top.
Speaker 1: Now you're welcome.
Speaker 4: Wait, what eighty two do you think it's like the
Speaker 4: amount of spoiler cast, but you would get that new
Speaker 4: couch for the that's moving on now to the whole
Speaker 4: set is gone for real?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that can't be right, rip.
Speaker 4: I mean the couch. We still the couch.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we still have all the bits, but it's just
Speaker 3: not in that room. We moved floors.
Speaker 2: No, we'll have to sit up a new place, all right.
Speaker 4: So moving on to the episode memories section. On episode
Speaker 4: fifty two of the show, Calli and Lucy both said
Speaker 4: that they cackle that they cracked this beverage. At the
Speaker 4: same time, they went on to say that if this
Speaker 4: drink maker sponsored the show, they would change the name
Speaker 4: of the show. What drink was it?
Speaker 2: Law?
Speaker 5: It was white Claw. I was figured it'd be a
Speaker 5: four point.
Speaker 1: Because there's episode fifty two. Were working from.
Speaker 3: Yeah into clause in a big way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, do we have to name the flavor? It
Speaker 2: will be lime for Lucy?
Speaker 5: Okay, so white claw lime, white claw raspberry for Cali.
Speaker 2: I don't think we will.
Speaker 4: Jacob probably doesn't know if he does not know the flavor.
Speaker 4: The answer was indeed white claw. And you guys said
Speaker 4: you would rename the show to the White Claw cast
Speaker 4: for good.
Speaker 2: Wow, spot off the claw.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I stand by it. White claws are expensive

Speaker 4: episode fifty seven, even though he was mostly just screaming
Speaker 4: in the background.

Speaker 4: All right, he would call it like.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 4: The answer was indeed, Greg Miller. Uh which promotional booze?

Speaker 4: There was no rhyme or reason. I remember one day
Speaker 4: Jake was just like, I'm changing the theme because.
Speaker 1: No, it was because we changed the logo.
Speaker 4: Oh, it was because we changed the logo. Oh okay.
Speaker 1: I figured we needed a song refresh, and like three
Speaker 1: people were like the intro you have sounds like softcore
Speaker 1: porn music, and I was like, I mean, I'm okay
Speaker 1: with those vibes, but we should probably change.

Speaker 6: don't eat on.
Speaker 2: Mic or something like that.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, I mean that is a good rule, but I.
Speaker 1: Think it was a joke. I think it was like

Speaker 2: No slurping.
Speaker 4: The answer is don't speak until you're introduced. That's right.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, I remember that.
Speaker 4: Okay, the fuck that ship. Okay, this is a one
Speaker 4: for not Michael to answer. This is what is Michael's
Speaker 4: typical greeting when introduced on the show.
Speaker 2: Ah, I know what it is? You're that would be
Speaker 2: number two fools, d like listen to me.

Speaker 4: A few episodes ago, Lucy spoke about TAM's superpower.
Speaker 1: What is it?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: I know what it is? Yeah?
Speaker 3: It was it was with regards to Death Loop, the
Speaker 3: Death Loop preview, if I remember correctly.
Speaker 4: Oh, like say what you were talking about? Like TAM's
Speaker 4: like amazing ability to just like just write the most
Speaker 4: amazing like prose possible, even though like according to Tam,
Speaker 4: he was literally just rolled out of bed and just
Speaker 4: yeah or he had like he.
Speaker 3: Had two hours sleep and he was under a really
Speaker 3: tight deadline and he wrote something incredible.
Speaker 2: Is that one super Bowl one of them I think
Speaker 2: that was it. I'll take it.
Speaker 4: It was like great sayings, expressions and jokes out of
Speaker 4: his ass at a moment's notice.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh that's gross.
Speaker 2: Why would you do that? Something's got to go in
Speaker 2: those booties?
Speaker 4: Okay. In episode ninety six, Michael fantasy booked episode one
Speaker 4: hundred with four people not from GameSpot. Who did he
Speaker 4: put on the show?
Speaker 2: Wow, don't even remember that. I don't even remember.
Speaker 7: Probably Blessed, Blessing talk, Natalie Flores. Yeah, that's probably maybe.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 5: I guess that would I would love that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, damn, I don't even remember saying that.
Speaker 6: Bill Spencer, Oh that would be great.
Speaker 2: Maybe, I don't know. Bless Natalie Flores, uh, funky? And

Speaker 1: Or Jane would be producing it?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 2: All stars baby.
Speaker 4: Okay, we were completely wrong. We didn't get any of
Speaker 4: that right. Okay, now I want that podcast. It was
Speaker 4: Jake Calli, Peter, and Daniel Dwyer. This sounds I would
Speaker 4: Michael for creating the podcast, say like, why.
Speaker 5: Would I cast a fully white podcast?
Speaker 2: I would never do that.
Speaker 1: I think it was. I'm probably sad that we weren't
Speaker 1: there anymore.
Speaker 2: I think that's a good crew though, like I would,
Speaker 2: I would, I'd listen to that.
Speaker 5: I think it was like something was like, I don't
Speaker 5: know off the top of the brain when yeah, I'll
Speaker 5: never do that, just bec Daniel Dwyer.
Speaker 1: That's fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right.
Speaker 4: Uh final question, have there been more shows with the
Speaker 4: new logo or the old logo?
Speaker 5: I think the old one, right, yeah, because you said
Speaker 5: you switched around sixty or seven.
Speaker 1: Well you know what, yeah, probably old one then yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I think I think iTunes also has an updated like
Speaker 1: if you scroll back far enough, it still has the
Speaker 1: old one.
Speaker 4: It does it does? Its actually kind of cool. I'm
Speaker 4: gonna still say now I'm gonna I'm gonna guess now
Speaker 4: more with the new one. More, I'm gonna say more
Speaker 4: more with the old The answer is new logo, oh,
Speaker 4: the old logo and seventy one percent with the new logo.
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe I didn't change the song with the logo.
Speaker 2: Shout shout out to Miranda for instigating that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's great logo.
Speaker 4: And that is the end of the Jacob McCourt one

Speaker 2: Aka series business in the discord, Jake, can you read
Speaker 2: that please?
Speaker 6: Because we know you'd have to read out someone else
Speaker 6: read it.
Speaker 2: Michael Hyam read that a ship.
Speaker 5: Okay, when you reach the age of one hundred in
Speaker 5: the UK, you qualify for a birthday message from the Queen.

Speaker 4: Uh, I'm going to say Crusader King's three. Yeah. I
Speaker 4: think she's got some good tactics. She could help me
Speaker 4: out with.
Speaker 2: The Royal The Royal family is the very definition of
Speaker 2: failing upwards, so I doubt it would be very useful
Speaker 2: in any sort of actual strategy. I would, I would,
Speaker 2: I would, Just for the record, I would. I would
Speaker 2: like to decline the invites. I'd be like I A'm
Speaker 2: playing ship with you.
Speaker 3: I just feel like she wouldn't understand how I use
Speaker 3: to call him because it's also it's not even moms.
Speaker 3: I Am not going to be shot calling and ending
Speaker 3: everything with me, and.
Speaker 2: The mic would be too close to her face and
Speaker 2: it would be real weird. There's an enemy behind you?
Speaker 3: Why she sound like Yoda?
Speaker 2: Jean? Look, can you read the next question please?
Speaker 4: This is from Jeremy Says, in honor of the one
Speaker 4: hundredth episode, what's everyone's favorite games that they've put one
Speaker 4: hundred plus hours into? Ooh, I feel like this is
Speaker 4: cheating because you're obligated to put at least one hundred
Speaker 4: hours into it, which is a person of four Golden.
Speaker 1: Yeah, true, not true. I finally beat Persona four Golden
Speaker 1: took me like forty five hours.
Speaker 4: Oh slipped that shit, though, you skipped?
Speaker 6: Like that's true.
Speaker 1: I cranked out. I made it as easy as possible
Speaker 1: because I'd played through the first half of that game
Speaker 1: twice and I was like, I'm just gonna get through
Speaker 1: this quick.
Speaker 2: Damn. Okay, all right, I respect it.
Speaker 1: So technically I've probably played that game over one hundred hours.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah for me, it's the same with Jean Luke,
Speaker 5: like Persona five Royal but also a Final Fantasy fourteen.
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, You have to put one
Speaker 5: hundred hours of them?
Speaker 2: Shit, yeah, probably Overwatch maybe. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, like mass Effect, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Mass Effect, blood Mine's blood Bone.
Speaker 3: Easy, Mine's part of the Overwatch actually at this point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, blut Bone's mine.
Speaker 6: Jake probably the Witcher three.
Speaker 1: But I've also played one hundred hours of Siege more
Speaker 1: than one hundred hours of Siege and that's the game
Speaker 1: that I still come back to regularly. Or PUBG is
Speaker 1: one that I've been thinking about replaying lately, and I
Speaker 1: put like four hundred and fifty hours in that game.
Speaker 2: Remember those days?
Speaker 4: Kind of what is that?
Speaker 3: What that tea was full?
Speaker 4: They have Jonathan Freaks reading like lower entries or something.
Speaker 4: She's like he's like sitting at a desk and he's
Speaker 4: doing like lore stuff for the PUBG universe.
Speaker 3: He's from Star Trek. He's what's his name, uh, number
Speaker 3: one riker.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's.
Speaker 2: Get him on that. He's this other guy. Does that
Speaker 2: mean what was it?
Speaker 3: No, it's I don't think so.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: He also directed the Thunderbirds moving.
Speaker 2: Yeah, great, great job to him. Prolific o cares seem
Speaker 2: keep them busy, Lucy. Can you read this question from
Speaker 2: Jacob McCAT please? Yes?
Speaker 1: Ah.
Speaker 3: Jacob coll says, have you all done or heard of
Speaker 3: The Centurion? In The Centurion, you do one hundred shots
Speaker 3: of beer or mixed drinks in one hundred minutes. I
Speaker 3: do not condone heavy drinking, but if you were to
Speaker 3: do this in honor of a hundred episodes, what alcohol
Speaker 3: would you choose? And what songs would be on your
Speaker 3: Centurion playlist? Thank you and congrats on one hundred episodes.
Speaker 3: I have not personally tried it, but I have been
Speaker 3: there when people have and it is messy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, beer sounds easy, but it's not. Don't choose catch
Speaker 1: you just well, you're mostly just drinking like foam at
Speaker 1: that point because you're just pouring more and more and
Speaker 1: more and you will throw up.
Speaker 5: Yes, I was like, the other thing was like hour
Speaker 5: and a half hour of power or some shit, and yeah,
Speaker 5: did you do like thirty shots of beer in thirty minutes?
Speaker 2: And we're like, hell, yeah I could and how many? Yeah?
Speaker 5: It sounds easy until it's not. But I'd be down
Speaker 5: to try it. Gonna act, so you gotta cover me there?
Speaker 1: But what what? What?
Speaker 2: What's?
Speaker 5: What was the other part?
Speaker 2: What songs would be on your playlist? No Hands from.
Speaker 5: From Brick Squad, Dash Walk a Floka and Roscoe Dash
Speaker 5: No Hands, That's that's a great song.
Speaker 3: To drink too, oh, Maria asked as a follow ups,
Speaker 3: that is, if you don't want to drink and for
Speaker 3: Tim suing a food of some sort of wings, chicken, nuggets,
Speaker 3: sour sweets, etcetera.
Speaker 2: I think I could go to one hundred hot wings
Speaker 2: pretty easily if there's no time limit.
Speaker 3: No, there is.
Speaker 6: One a minute.
Speaker 2: None. No, I cannot do that undred one piece of
Speaker 2: Bombay mix. One piece of Bombay mix. You couldn't even
Speaker 2: eat the top wings or chicken nuggets that fast. Like
Speaker 2: I think skittles. I could probably do sour skittles because
Speaker 2: you don't even have to chew those. You just have
Speaker 2: to swallow him and then like pills, Yeah, just take
Speaker 2: them like pills.
Speaker 1: You know what I do?
Speaker 3: Those so Patch Kids watermelons. Oh yeah, they are my
Speaker 3: favorite's one and.
Speaker 2: One hundred minutes.
Speaker 1: Though it's supposed to be kind of rough though, you're
Speaker 1: not just supposed to pick something you really like, but
Speaker 1: it's a.
Speaker 3: Sour candy and so like, even if I've had a
Speaker 3: handful of it, it's still.
Speaker 1: Start to tear up your mouth.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't imagine what your stomach's gonna feel like
Speaker 5: after that shit, bro exactly.
Speaker 2: That would be awful?
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: Final question comes from Kevin Jake. Can you read that?
Speaker 2: It's literally two lines? Man?
Speaker 1: Hey, after Darker's congrats on episode one hundred, if you
Speaker 1: could send your episode oneself a message about podcasting, What
Speaker 1: would it be? I excellently already answered this.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty well done.
Speaker 1: In the discord, I said that I would get ready
Speaker 1: for work from home or podcasts from home, because that's
Speaker 1: going to be most of the show.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say to my episode oneself, Uh, you
Speaker 5: good dog, that's it. Just keep doing your thing, man,
Speaker 5: it ain't nothing, ain't nothing, have.
Speaker 2: A good time. I think that would be the message.
Speaker 2: Make sure you're having a good time.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I think I know what i'd say.
Speaker 1: I think I would have told myself to have more
Speaker 1: variety on the show, like more people from the office
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, because that was we had, like
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about it too much, but
Speaker 1: we had kind of like weird messaging where it was
Speaker 1: like try to stick with the core cast, but like
Speaker 1: no one really said anything if we deviated from that.
Speaker 1: So I wish I had like just had more of
Speaker 1: a mix on especially those earlier episodes. Yeah, there are
Speaker 1: not those earlier episodes, but those like middle episodes when
Speaker 1: it was just like the same four people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a period where we were being told
Speaker 2: how growth can happen, and it led to some things
Speaker 2: that were there's nothing wrong with it. It's just like
Speaker 2: it meant that we focused in in a way that
Speaker 2: a format that was like perhaps not the best I
Speaker 2: would like, I.
Speaker 1: Think it was good. Like I think there were really
Speaker 1: good aspects of it, Like I think we definitely found
Speaker 1: the footing in that show because of them, But like
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people that.
Speaker 6: I really wanted to get on that it was just
Speaker 6: there were forces against that.
Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I would. I
Speaker 2: would go back and say the same thing as well,
Speaker 2: like trying and mix it up more. And I mean
Speaker 2: that's not something that we'll probably start we're doing a
Speaker 2: lot of now, but I think we'll probably start figuring out.
Speaker 2: I think we'll do a do a kind of like
Speaker 2: an audit of the podcast anyway, so we can figure
Speaker 2: out what kind of fun stuff that we can add
Speaker 2: to it.
Speaker 5: If there was one, like one thing I would I
Speaker 5: would actually say to myself is that you don't have
Speaker 5: to say everything in one episode. Yeah, And I think
Speaker 5: that like when whenever I got on, I was like, oh,
Speaker 5: this is an opportunity, so I have to say everything
Speaker 5: that I want to say, uh, and it would take
Speaker 5: you too much times Like no, we'll have an opportunity
Speaker 5: to do this again sometime before. It's it's not like
Speaker 5: a video where you have to get it all out
Speaker 5: in this one video. It's like, it's a series. You
Speaker 5: can have one hundred episodes, so you'll have an opportunity
Speaker 5: to get that thought out later down the line if
Speaker 5: it doesn't need to be in this episode.
Speaker 2: And so I think that that's good advice. And with
Speaker 2: that comes to a close, the one hundredth episode of
Speaker 2: GameSpot after Dark and Lucy James is one thousandth video.
Speaker 2: Congratulations Lucy, and congratulations to everyone who is on this podcast,
Speaker 2: and congratulations to you, Jake. You made something that lasted
Speaker 2: one hundred podcasts. It's pretty impressive.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised. Yeah, I mean, given how podcasts that GameSpot
Speaker 1: have gone in the past, I was like, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe we'll get through thirty episodes and then they'll be
Speaker 1: like like get busy, and.
Speaker 2: I mean, you did big. There will be blood energy.
Speaker 2: I've abandoned my boy, I've abandoned my child.
