Speaker 1: Fantastic. He doesn't need to be quiet for a second.

10
00:00:56,039 --> 00:00:58,840
He's loud, he's proud. He is the extra curly fry

11
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,439
in your bag. Dan Reichert still not confirmed that I'm loud.

12
00:01:03,479 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 3: We don't know. Some people have said that. But everyone's

13
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,280
got opinions, that's right, and he has everyone has that opinion.

14
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,439
Speaker 1: Speaking about opinions, he's got opinions on how everything that

15
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,519
you like sucks.

16
00:01:16,079 --> 00:01:17,439
Speaker 3: Jeff Beckler, that.

17
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,879
Speaker 4: Is not my position. I just want to put that

00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,920
out there. It's just oftentimes it is. This is my

19
00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:28,920
permanent position. Listen, I got good news and bad news.

20
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,239
I'm just gonna tease you with that, and you come

21
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:33,640
back around to me. I'll let you know about the

22
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:34,719
good news and bad news.

Speaker 1: He found the key, everybody, It wasn't his but the

24
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:42,519
whole time, good burns out good, and then last, but

25
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,040
certainly not least. He is the bird boy of games

26
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:53,959
media and the marathon Man of Giant Bomb Mike Mindy.

27
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 5: I'm finally back the kicks. Tell hi, Jan, how's it going?

28
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:00,799
Speaker 3: Great? Great? Great?

29
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,599
Speaker 1: I have that wrap burned into my head now? Oh yeah,

30
00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:09,560
specifically here we go. Uh the Kayla version, which is

31
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:12,280
the best version, which is a tree that's burned into

32
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:12,759
the soul.

33
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 5: Protected me from that one. Actually, I think I ever

34
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:19,599
raced that one somehow. Yes, yes, this afternoon with you?

35
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:21,000
So maybe a live one?

36
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: Uh Dan record you asked me to queue you up.

37
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,879
I'm gonna que Jeff backlar. First, what's the good?

38
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:26,879
Speaker 5: Bad news?

39
00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 4: All right? Bad news? First? I put one hundred dollars

40
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,000
on a phone?

41
00:02:33,159 --> 00:02:33,879
Speaker 3: What what?

42
00:02:33,879 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 4: What do you put one hundred dollars down on a

43
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,080
phone that I was promised about a year ago.

44
00:02:39,719 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: Oh, this is like like a Kickstarter phone or something.

45
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 4: No, a much more.

46
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 5: What are you talking about down on a phone.

47
00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 4: No one's getting my joke, and now I have to

48
00:02:54,159 --> 00:02:55,039
explain the joke.

49
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 3: Oh, the Trump phone.

50
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:05,439
Speaker 5: Then I forgot about the Trump I vaguely remember this.

51
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,599
Speaker 6: Yeah, it looks exactly like the look, doesn't it.

52
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, yeah, if you mean by that, if you

53
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,960
mean invisible, Yes, that is how this phone looks.

54
00:03:17,719 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 3: There's a savvy businessman.

55
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 4: I looked at the fine print, and I failed to

56
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:25,759
realize that there is no promise of a phone ever

57
00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:30,560
being delivered. In fact, it says don't count on it.

58
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,360
It also so it doesn't really say that, I mean

59
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:38,000
it more or less says, uh this, your your deposit

60
00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:41,000
ensures that this that this phone may or may not

61
00:03:41,039 --> 00:03:42,039
ever enter production.

62
00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 5: That's the news story of fortune. Trump Mobile quietly rewrote

63
00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:49,240
its fight print to say the gold Trump vote may

64
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:50,319
never be made.

65
00:03:50,719 --> 00:03:50,879
Speaker 3: Right.

66
00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:54,199
Speaker 6: I'm seeing magafans revolt over Trump phone disaster, and it

67
00:03:54,199 --> 00:03:56,520
looks like there's a lot of videos of guys with

68
00:03:56,599 --> 00:03:59,280
sunglasses in their Ford f one fifties being very mad.

69
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:03,039
Speaker 4: Yes, boy, that's for them, very upset. I don't know

70
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,199
what I'm gonna do. I feel like I just gave

71
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,520
someone a fifty nine million dollar loan and I am

72
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:15,360
deeply disappointed. Uh so, fuck you. The good news though

73
00:04:15,639 --> 00:04:20,959
Jim got vaccinated, not yet, still waiting. I'm still waiting

74
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,519
on that fout. Yeah, listen, so you guys know my

75
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,399
internet's a little borked, right, everyone knows like internet?

76
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: Oh no, I didn't know that.

77
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 5: Oh my, what do you mean? What do you mean?

78
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:31,480
What do you mean?

79
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 2: We make I was trying to think of the phrase

80
00:04:33,879 --> 00:04:35,759
that wouldn't upset you most, and I think I found it.

81
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, so go ahead.

82
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 4: I was just wow, good job. Time to piss was

83
00:04:40,879 --> 00:04:45,560
really quick. There, damn those TTPs getting those numbers down.

84
00:04:46,439 --> 00:04:50,199
I had a guy out here yesterday who, uh so

85
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,720
apparently like ISP's now what they do is they This

86
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,199
is no surprise everyone. They completely like dismantled their in

87
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,199
house tech service, right, and they just like go to

88
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,000
third party outsourcing as like a shell company of just

89
00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:07,959
contractors so that they can just cut every possible corner

90
00:05:08,079 --> 00:05:12,439
on earth and treat every last employee the closest to

91
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:15,519
shit that they can possibly do. Anyway, it's a nice

92
00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:18,519
person was out here yesterday. After I've had and Chuck

93
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,040
knows this, he could speak to this. I've had like

94
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,839
no less than a dozen people out here all telling

95
00:05:22,879 --> 00:05:24,759
me the same exact thing, like, Yo, there's nothing wrong

96
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,959
with your Internet. You're the problem. It's your fault. Blah

97
00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:29,800
blah blah, blah blah, yeah, which is what you want

98
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,839
to hear. Right, It's like the thing you want to hear, Like,

99
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,959
oh cool. I just have like an EMP going off

100
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,120
in my basement at all times, and that's why my

101
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,399
internet's bad. This guy comes in, takes one reading and

102
00:05:40,439 --> 00:05:43,800
he's like, your internet's fuck, dude, and I'm like, yeah, yeah,

103
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,759
I've been dealing this for the better part of a year.

104
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 5: Sir.

105
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 4: There's no good solution to this other than digging is

106
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,399
what they have to do. So right now, as a

107
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:58,759
temporary fix, I have a wire exposed to the elements

108
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,120
running across the front of my lawn down to the box,

109
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,879
and I'm like, yo, dog, how do we make sure

110
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:10,759
some rogue landscaping person doesn't just cut this bad boy

111
00:06:10,879 --> 00:06:13,279
right in half. He's like, don't worry, I got a

112
00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:16,480
solution for you, and he proceeds to tie orange caution

113
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:23,399
tape around the wire. Sirs, love that is it like.

114
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,079
Speaker 3: Above the lawn or is it going through the grass?

115
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,639
Speaker 4: It's going It's going right. It's laid right on along

116
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,160
the grass. The best look it's white. There's contrast, Okay,

117
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,839
there's contrast against the green and those yellow flashing not flashing.

118
00:06:38,879 --> 00:06:43,199
But those orange little tieos they're not nothing. Okay, they're

119
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,040
not nothing. You can see them from the street.

120
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:45,639
Speaker 5: Sore.

121
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:51,079
Speaker 4: Anyway, my entire stability of Internet relies on a coax

122
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:53,720
cable that is just out there right now.

123
00:06:54,079 --> 00:06:55,879
Speaker 5: That's how I'm coming to you live, folks.

124
00:06:56,199 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 3: I'm gonna text your son to help me with a

125
00:06:58,199 --> 00:06:58,879
funny prink.

126
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know a lot. He relies on that shit

127
00:07:01,519 --> 00:07:05,319
way more than I do. Okay, he would never do that.

128
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 3: Dan Reikert, I have the run of show here.

129
00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:14,079
Speaker 1: Let's see. What does this say? You almost died?

130
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 3: Yeah it was.

131
00:07:16,879 --> 00:07:19,959
Speaker 6: I had a solid fifteen to twenty minutes in the

132
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,079
last week where I actually really had the thought that like,

133
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,759
oh this this, it sounds like this could possibly be it,

134
00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:30,399
which is a crazy feeling to have. I was doing

135
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,279
some traveling, I was, I was doing some stuff last week.

136
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,639
We'll talk about it at a future date. But flying

137
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,480
back and I'm in the area, you know, as you do.

138
00:07:39,839 --> 00:07:43,600
And I'm going to land at MSP in Minneapolis Airport,

139
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,160
and We're getting down there, and like my dad always

140
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,079
likes me to text him when i'm like landing, just

141
00:07:48,079 --> 00:07:49,839
to make sure I'm safe, you know. It's that dad thing,

142
00:07:49,879 --> 00:07:51,800
you know, And so I literally already I was so

143
00:07:51,839 --> 00:07:53,759
close to the ground. I text him like landed at MSP,

144
00:07:53,959 --> 00:07:56,480
you know, back home, and I was texting bank and stuff.

145
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:57,879
She was asking if I wanted some like, you know,

146
00:07:57,959 --> 00:07:59,720
Chinese delivery or something. I was like, oh no, I'm

147
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,120
kind of tire whatever. So I'll be on the ground

148
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:02,759
in seconds.

149
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 5: So I know what.

150
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,279
Speaker 4: I know what's going on here. I can tell keep going.

151
00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 6: It's yeah, so bred the land. Suddenly, room goes back

152
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,879
up and everyone in the planet is doing the thing

153
00:08:11,879 --> 00:08:12,839
where they look around like.

154
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:13,519
Speaker 4: A boarded land.

155
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,639
Speaker 6: The funck was that, well, yeah, and so we go

156
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,279
back up and everyone's just kind of like, okay, that

157
00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:20,199
was weird. We're all just kind of like looking around.

158
00:08:21,079 --> 00:08:23,439
They come on the announcements on the PA. The flight

159
00:08:23,439 --> 00:08:27,839
attendancy sounds slightly rattled, which is always a concern. If

160
00:08:27,879 --> 00:08:30,959
the flight attendants are looking calm, you're probably good. They

161
00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:33,919
were kind of like, okay, so you might have noticed,

162
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:35,759
you know, we we were going down and then we

163
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:39,519
went back up. Well, as we were making our final approach,

164
00:08:40,039 --> 00:08:44,399
we did learn that the breaks don't work on the plane.

165
00:08:45,159 --> 00:08:48,120
The breaks are just completely not functioning, which you know

166
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,279
when you land on the runway. Wow, they said that.

167
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,200
They said that, they said the breaks aren't working. So

168
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,360
we're gonna go up. We're gonna circle around a little bit.

169
00:08:55,879 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 5: We're in.

170
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 6: They're like, please, you know, stay calm, we're gonna figure

171
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,919
out the situation whatever. So we go up. We're circling

172
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,799
yeah around MSP. Everyone's like kind of like, it's not

173
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,840
like panic yet or anything like that. But then they

174
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,759
come out and they've got like a sheet, like a

175
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:12,080
flight of him is reading off a sheet and she's like, okay,

176
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,399
so Rose six fifteen twenty two, you need to make

177
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,399
sure you're doing this okay, So the rest of you

178
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,480
and if you're not on those rows, please pull out

179
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,399
the safety thing. There are six bracing positions you need

180
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,960
to so if you don't have a child, you need

181
00:09:24,039 --> 00:09:26,039
to do brace some position one or three feet flat

182
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,600
on the ground, hands in front of you. If you

183
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,080
can't reach the ground, you have to do this thing,

184
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,720
have between your legs and stuff like that. And they

185
00:09:31,759 --> 00:09:36,080
seem kind of rattled at this point and they got

186
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,200
on the PA again. They're like, okay, so you will

187
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,639
notice as we're approaching there are fire trucks with the

188
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,039
lights on. All those are for us, and we are

189
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,559
trying to make sure that we have as much runway

190
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:49,559
as possible so they're clear.

191
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 3: They like cleared the.

192
00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:53,399
Speaker 6: Tarmac basically, and they needed to make sure that they

193
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,159
had the longest runway at MSP for us to just

194
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,840
come to a rolling stop basically. And at this point,

195
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,080
it is full blown. People are starting to cry, They're

196
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,720
starting to panic, kids are screaming. It is literally like

197
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,080
I'm seeing people praying. There are yeah, tears and just

198
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,720
full on freak out things and stuff like that. And

199
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,840
I texted Bonk and I was just like, oh, actually, yeah,

200
00:10:17,879 --> 00:10:20,559
we went back up and we didn't land. So it's

201
00:10:20,639 --> 00:10:22,279
kind of this thing of like you kind of have

202
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,000
that moment of like it should be fine. You think

203
00:10:25,039 --> 00:10:28,600
they realized it before we landed. They're doing what they can.

204
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,360
But it was a moment of like sending and I

205
00:10:31,399 --> 00:10:33,159
love you text and stuff like that, and then she

206
00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:34,720
told me and then you got to put the phone

207
00:10:34,759 --> 00:10:37,600
away and you're in the bracing position and stuff, and

208
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:39,679
it was like another ten or fifteen minutes before I

209
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,600
was able to get a hold of her again. So

210
00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:43,679
she told me, it's like literally it was like she

211
00:10:43,799 --> 00:10:45,440
was home and was like, oh my god, this is

212
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,080
how it happens.

213
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: It's just like all of a sudden, it's just it's done.

214
00:10:49,159 --> 00:10:50,919
Speaker 6: And she was in a bad way, like, you know,

215
00:10:51,039 --> 00:10:53,240
she was calling her parents and we had some friends

216
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,120
come over, you know, but she just didn't know what

217
00:10:55,159 --> 00:10:57,600
to do. It was like genuinely really really scary. And

218
00:10:57,639 --> 00:10:59,759
the whole time I've got the phone in the pocket,

219
00:10:59,759 --> 00:11:01,879
I'm thinking like, oh my god, if the situation was reversed,

220
00:11:01,879 --> 00:11:03,879
and I just didn't hear something for like ten fifteen minutes,

221
00:11:03,919 --> 00:11:05,559
like every minute would feel like an hour, you know.

222
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 5: So yeah, it was.

223
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 6: It was crazy where we're approaching and it really is

224
00:11:10,039 --> 00:11:14,679
people like losing their minds and bracing and everything. And

225
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,279
we hit the ground and the landing itself felt normal,

226
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,799
and then the part that didn't feel normal is you're

227
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:26,360
still just going at full full speed. There's normally you

228
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,399
feel it all kind of like go back. It just

229
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,360
keeps rolling and rolling and rolling, and it's not slowing

230
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:33,519
down at all, and I'm in this bracing position and

231
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,120
like in my head I'm just trying to picture like

232
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,840
how long is the fucking runway? Well, it was the

233
00:11:36,919 --> 00:11:39,399
longest runway at MSP. Feels like we're going pretty damn

234
00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:43,440
fast and eventually though, it did just come to a stop.

235
00:11:44,159 --> 00:11:47,200
Didn't know they they practice on evacuation procedures in case

236
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,960
we needed to and stuff like that. But they're like,

237
00:11:49,039 --> 00:11:51,159
leave your legnship. But like it was fine, came to

238
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,000
a stop. They were able to tax us to the

239
00:11:53,039 --> 00:11:54,679
gate and everything, the fire trucks were there.

240
00:11:54,799 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 5: It was just, man, why they do that?

241
00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 6: White and yeah, they should have had the breaks. Oh

242
00:12:01,879 --> 00:12:03,840
I did complain and I got two thousand American miles.

243
00:12:04,919 --> 00:12:06,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think more than that, more.

244
00:12:06,759 --> 00:12:10,639
Speaker 5: Than two American miles. Like, Hi, my wife thought I

245
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,639
was dead for fifteen minutes. It's more I almost did die.

246
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so did.

247
00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 5: So when they land, like, uh, you know they've got

248
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:19,960
those flaps.

249
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,639
Speaker 2: Right, like I'm sure they went the engines reverse, Yeah

250
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,320
they do the Yeah, but was that did they mean

251
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,480
the air brakes were broken?

252
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,039
Speaker 7: Like you know, I don't know, but I mean when

253
00:12:30,039 --> 00:12:33,039
you feel like anything was slowing you said that, like

254
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,320
I feel like you know the sound of like the

255
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,360
sound the plane mix when it's like you hear the

256
00:12:37,399 --> 00:12:38,720
engines like make that new noise.

257
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 3: It didn't even do that or anything.

258
00:12:40,639 --> 00:12:42,639
Speaker 6: It just don't like the wheels hit the ground and

259
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,440
then we just rolled real fast, weird, real long time.

260
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, because it's not right. I mean, I don't know

261
00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:51,039
a lot about it, but like it's not like breaks

262
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,519
the way you think about breaks right in a car. Yeah.

263
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,519
Speaker 6: Yeah, So I don't know what was malfunctioning. I'm just

264
00:12:56,519 --> 00:12:58,840
glad that like there's a check engine light or whatever

265
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,600
for that was. You know, we're just you know, I.

266
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,159
Speaker 5: Feel like you don't hear about that too much, no

267
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:06,080
stuff like.

268
00:13:06,039 --> 00:13:07,399
Speaker 6: That where it's like, oh, there was kind of a

269
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,080
you know, yeah function in the junction there. We got

270
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,759
to go back up, but this was like, oh the

271
00:13:10,799 --> 00:13:11,679
planes fucked.

272
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 4: Surprising that they only So how close were you to

273
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,840
the ground? Also, Uh, I'm like I totally identified with

274
00:13:18,879 --> 00:13:21,399
the texting your you know, your loved one that you've

275
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,799
landed and whatnot. I do it after I've landed.

276
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 5: I should probably wait the extra thirty seconds. Yeah.

277
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,399
Speaker 4: Uh so how close were you to touching ground the

278
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,399
first time before they abort it.

279
00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 6: I don't think it was like right above it. I'd

280
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,320
say we were probably within like fifteen twenty seconds. You know,

281
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:39,799
it's like you know, you're seeing the buildings kind of

282
00:13:39,799 --> 00:13:41,440
come up a little bit and everything, but we weren't

283
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:42,960
like right above the run.

284
00:13:42,919 --> 00:13:44,919
Speaker 5: Even that part scary, like because I had a fight

285
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,480
last year where we did do like the oh we're

286
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,799
about to land. Then we start going back up and

287
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,759
like even that everyone's looking around like about to die,

288
00:13:51,799 --> 00:13:54,399
and then that happens. Yeah, oh we had a gust

289
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:55,519
of wind. Should just back up.

290
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 4: So sure sometimes there's like weird traffic on the tarmac

291
00:13:58,879 --> 00:14:01,320
and they're just like, you know, let's just do another

292
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:02,120
loop around.

293
00:14:02,519 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 5: That's wild.

294
00:14:03,639 --> 00:14:03,919
Speaker 4: Man.

295
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,799
Speaker 5: What airline was this?

296
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: Damn American Airline RINGDORMI well, yeah, damn.

297
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 6: I have so much I circle had so much anxiety

298
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,840
about flying, but it's always been about just fear of

299
00:14:16,879 --> 00:14:18,960
fear and having a panic attack on the flight. I've

300
00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:21,360
always said, like, I've never been afraid of the plane crashing.

301
00:14:21,399 --> 00:14:23,159
And it's like, oh, okay, well almost, yeah, almost.

302
00:14:23,559 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: The longest runway at Minneapolis Saint Paul International Airport is

303
00:14:27,279 --> 00:14:28,799
about two miles long.

304
00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 3: So that that seems that seems like okay, that's pretty long, right.

305
00:14:32,679 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 5: I Mean, they must be prepared for this contingency, but

306
00:14:35,399 --> 00:14:39,559
it just seems yeah, but you need yeah, yeah.

307
00:14:39,399 --> 00:14:41,279
Speaker 3: And not every airport is going to have that. Yeah.

308
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:42,879
Speaker 6: The one thing that made me feel pretty good in

309
00:14:42,919 --> 00:14:44,799
the air was there was a lady up and across

310
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,720
from me and she pointed the guy next to her

311
00:14:46,759 --> 00:14:48,639
and she goes, this guy works for the airline. He's

312
00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:50,320
not a pilot, but he says that, like, we should

313
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,320
have plenty of runway, it should be fine. They caught him,

314
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,879
So it's like, Okay, that guy seemed really calm, right, Yeah,

315
00:14:54,879 --> 00:14:55,960
that's that's probably a good sign.

316
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 5: You know, Hm, I does this make any news? I

317
00:15:01,559 --> 00:15:04,600
didn't look I'm trying to look at I'm not sharing nothing.

318
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:05,480
I'm not sharing. Yeah.

319
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 3: I landed at like eleven p m over the weekend.

320
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:08,639
I didn't see anything.

321
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm sorry you had to go through uh that

322
00:15:12,639 --> 00:15:14,440
when you left the plane where they where the like

323
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,279
flight tests are like, but by now.

324
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: There was no nothing was different. No, I mean it

325
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,320
sounds like everything worked the way it was supposed to write.

326
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: I mean I did yeah, getting in the brace business

327
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,600
SHO never had to do that on a plane.

328
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,399
Speaker 3: That would probably rattle me a little bit.

329
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 4: H of course.

this summer. Great, I'm gonna be back on the ambient.

335

I think.

336
00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:45,519
Speaker 1: I just need to be on the plane with Dan

337
00:15:45,679 --> 00:15:46,559
and then I'll be fine.

338
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,639
Speaker 3: Is what I learned from this. Yeah.

339
00:15:49,879 --> 00:15:51,879
Speaker 5: I always tell myself, like I always as a point

340
00:15:51,879 --> 00:15:54,480
of comfort, I'm like, there's like all these athletes and

341
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,600
fantas people who just are flying constantly and they all

342
00:15:57,639 --> 00:16:07,360
seem to be fine, small small charter planes, and like, oh,

343
00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:09,360
that's the problem, that's the issue.

344
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 3: It was one of the It was a regional one

345
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:13,559
that we had to bore down the tarmac. It was

346
00:16:13,559 --> 00:16:15,080
one of those Okay, have.

347
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,679
Speaker 1: Y'all ever had your plane rerouted because it was full

348
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:20,120
of poop?

349
00:16:20,279 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 4: Oh no, too much shit? No yeah, no, no, I've

351
00:16:26,799 --> 00:16:29,399

San Francisco, they turned around and went to Vegas for

356
00:16:40,759 --> 00:16:42,600
some reason. Because their plane was full of poop.

357
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,799

Speaker 1: Uh well, I'm glad that you felt supported by by

00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,400
people on the plane that knew what may have been

368
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:17,839
going on.

369

and you want to watch Giant Bomb premium stuff and

388
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,599
support us on YouTube. YouTube memberships are now live and

389
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,720
the wizard that Chuck Zimmer held is if you go

390
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,279
to the website because now if you have a YouTube membership,

391
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,279
all premium content from the past year's there. Now we'll

392
00:18:23,279 --> 00:18:25,960
be adding ad free versions of everything we do for

393
00:18:26,039 --> 00:18:30,880
YouTube members So that's the podcast game US Mornings Quick Looks.

394
00:18:31,319 --> 00:18:34,599
But if you have a YouTube membership, you can link

395
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,960
it to your site profile and your membership gives you

396
00:18:38,079 --> 00:18:43,039
site premium as well. How Chuck managed to do that overnight,

397
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,480
I don't fucking know. YouTube membership, this wasn't overnight. Took

398
00:18:46,519 --> 00:18:48,440
him like a couple of weeks to get it down overnight.

399
00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, been having a bug, Google a bunch and get

400
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,119
ahold of home like he is really like he's always

401
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,160
doing incredible work here. But ye, he has just been

402
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,039
what a fucking weird He's doing magic around here.

403
00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:58,599
Speaker 3: Yeah.

404
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: However, though YouTube membership our fifteen dollars to cover the

405
00:19:01,759 --> 00:19:05,440
thirty percent that that platform takes. So if you go

406
00:19:05,519 --> 00:19:09,119
over there on YouTube Premium, I know that we get

407
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,559
a lot of people watching all the streams over there,

408
00:19:11,759 --> 00:19:15,279
So if that is your flavor of platform, there is

409
00:19:15,319 --> 00:19:18,079
a way to support us over there as well. Speaking

410
00:19:18,079 --> 00:19:23,319
about supporting us, every new premium membership I was gonna say,

411
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:28,119
is going to fund Mike Minatti into acquiring more bananas

412
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,240
in the Giant bomb Donkey Kong sixty four.

413
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 3: Subath on a Gang.

414
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: We hit that goal overnight because of all the lovely

415
00:19:35,279 --> 00:19:36,000
people at home.

416
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 5: We love everybody got to celebrate at like twelve thirty

417
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,240
am or whatever when we hit that goal. It was

418
00:19:44,279 --> 00:19:47,599
incredible to see all of the support played over ten

419
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,000
hours of Donkey Kong sixty four last night. But because

420
00:19:51,039 --> 00:19:53,759
we met that goal, that means we're going, uh going

421
00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:56,319
until I get one hundred and one percent in that game,

422
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,960
So still play more Donkey Kong. Gonna be sitting back

423
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,039
up after the a bomb cast day even and the

424
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,799
drive is not over yet, though we will have a

425
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,920
new incentive to reach, and we've been talking this out.

426
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,480
We kind of have a rough idea here. We're gonna

427
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,240
get that for finalized. But you know, at first I

428
00:20:15,279 --> 00:20:17,000
was like, oh, let's just give Mike maybe a blighting

429
00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:19,119
in the bank thing. It's like, well, that doesn't that's

430
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:23,279
not really an incentive to have premium. So we're thinking

431
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,319
that said you for a future blake, probably the one

432
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,759
after when I you know, after we have space Ace,

433
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,119
we're gonna Geller do one. But after that, instead of

434
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,200
it just going to whoever would be next, we will

435
00:20:34,319 --> 00:20:39,759
have premium members vote for who goes next.

436
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,799
Speaker 3: And maybe that pool isn't just the normal three of us,

437
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,480
Maybe it's the whole group. Why it's the whole group,

438
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:46,519
Why it's the whole crew?

439
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:46,759
Speaker 5: What?

440
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:49,319
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe maybe we also give you a list of

441
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:50,400
games you can pick between.

442
00:20:50,319 --> 00:20:53,039
Speaker 5: And that will also Yes, we'll also let you pick

443
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,039
the game the'll be blaited with out of a list.

444
00:20:55,079 --> 00:20:56,920
We'll give you a list of some sort and you.

445
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,599
Speaker 2: Could recommend games or list, but we'll have to have

446
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,680
a final say on like because you know, it turns

447
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,039
out we know better what's a black club game?

448
00:21:02,039 --> 00:21:03,559
Speaker 3: And most people, but you guys can vote on that

449
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:04,519
final one for sure.

450
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,279
Speaker 5: That's right, So I think that's probably going to be

451
00:21:08,279 --> 00:21:09,680
our new incentive.

452
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 3: Seeing a lot of back art.

453
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,319
Speaker 4: Hey, if you can find the time on my calendar,

454
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:16,400
by all means.

455
00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:20,599
Speaker 6: Now, Mike, I am seeing something else than chat here

456
00:21:20,599 --> 00:21:22,039
that I do like the idea. Let's just, you know,

457
00:21:22,079 --> 00:21:24,799
we'll just brainstorm here alive. Some people are saying, what

458
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,279
if we just start the counter over and then it's

459
00:21:27,319 --> 00:21:32,519
a new safe How about you go to how Look,

460
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,039
I'm just telling you what Chad's saying.

461
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 5: No, I look, I'll talk about ma experience fifty four

462
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,440
sou But it's a lot of time.

463
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 3: That's a lot of time.

464
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 5: Look, everyone, there's still plenty of more of that game

465
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,200
we're I did, like, I did make some pretty good progress,

466
00:21:49,279 --> 00:21:51,400
got fifty bananas when it was all said and done.

467
00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:54,599
Speaker 3: I think you're right, you're going at a really good

468
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,000
pace now. So yeah, well done.

469
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,519
Speaker 1: I would just like to take this opportunity to remind

470
00:21:58,559 --> 00:22:01,279
everyone at home of how nice of a person I am,

471
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,640
and how I am just very supportive you are.

472
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 4: So those are all true.

473
00:22:07,319 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 2: Don't keep my mouth shut, don't keep it my mouth shut.

474
00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:11,759
Things are going great for me right now. I'm not

475
00:22:11,839 --> 00:22:14,400
going to try to like tempt fate. Just shut my

476
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:14,839
mouth up.

477
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: You know, I'm charming, I'm handsome. I think you're handsome everybody, so,

478
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,599
you know, just just keep that in mind when voting

479
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:23,079
opens up.

480
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,519
Speaker 4: Okay, had me until that last part. I'm sure I

481
00:22:26,599 --> 00:22:29,920
have a lot of no. No, not you being handsome,

482
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,720
but everyone listening to us, Come on, they can all

483
00:22:32,759 --> 00:22:33,279
be good looking.

484
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 3: Wow, that's true.

485
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 4: I'm just playing the numbers folks.

486
00:22:42,759 --> 00:22:44,759
Speaker 5: Person in chat to be like, that's a terrible thing

487
00:22:44,839 --> 00:22:46,640
to say about blah blah blah.

488
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly.

489
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,759
Speaker 4: I'm dis singling anyone out. I'm just saying, I'm sure

490
00:22:52,839 --> 00:22:54,720
there's ugly people in our audience.

491
00:22:54,799 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: There's something wrong with that. There's someone listening to the

492
00:22:58,279 --> 00:23:00,759
show right now, not even in their own they're maybe

493
00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:03,160
getting ready and then they just looked at a mirror

494
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:10,960
and thought, damn, I am sometimes. But hey, UGO's out there.

Speaker 6: I do like that right when we like literally the

515
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,400
next thing after we said the audience will get to

516
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,079
vote on who gets blighted next back Lark called them

517
00:24:18,079 --> 00:24:18,519
all ugly.

518
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 4: I didn't say all of them. I said, of course,

519
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,640
we're just playing, just playing the odds.

520
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 5: No, I mean last week, the beautiful last week was.

521
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 4: Mike when the impression that we were gonna make that

522
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:36,880
like a special thing if.

523
00:24:36,839 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 5: We ever did that. But you know that's fine, Mikey.

524
00:24:40,839 --> 00:24:42,640
Mikey went above and beyond. We gotta we gotta have

525
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:43,599
a new incentive right away.

526
00:24:43,759 --> 00:24:46,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's cool. I'm sorry, Jane, I cut you off.

527
00:24:46,799 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: No, I was gonna say, Mikey last week was down

528
00:24:49,279 --> 00:24:53,880
playing and lambasting people that remember other people's anniversaries, specifically

529
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,079
their parents' anniversaries.

530
00:24:56,599 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 5: Uh.

531
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:02,079
Speaker 2: And then we celebrated our own anniversary. Exactly, Yeah, exactly.

532
00:25:02,319 --> 00:25:04,880
People should celebrate their own anniversaries.

533
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: I agree everyone else is celebrating our anniversary by subbing.

534
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 5: Okay, but like, yeah, I because it's fun. It's a thing, right,

535
00:25:14,039 --> 00:25:14,880
That's different than.

536
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a fun thing.

537
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 3: You're right.

538
00:25:17,759 --> 00:25:22,319
Speaker 5: I wanted you to know. Overwhelmingly, on like the comments

539
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,119
at any place where people can write.

540
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 3: Text, the support was with me on that one.

541
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 4: Look, it's also possible that the amount of ugly people

542
00:25:30,039 --> 00:25:32,599
also have terrible relationships with their parents. I don't know

543
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,799
what to tell you, boy, that could be. That could

544
00:25:34,839 --> 00:25:35,720
be connected as well.

545
00:25:36,799 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 5: Get plighted. What's going on?

546
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,039
Speaker 3: Are you threatening back a lot?

547
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:41,799
Speaker 1: Are you?

548
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 3: Yeah?

549
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:47,799
Speaker 4: What was that Mike last time? Just the numbers guy. Geez, sorry,

550
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,680
just a numbers guy. I'm still gonna get It's just

551
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,279
a simple man with a calculator. I'm just an innocent man.

552
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,880
He's just we're all just innocent, man.

553
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: Well, other other than being in a accusing people of

554
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,960
being ugly and almost dying on playing everyone else doing okay,

555
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:05,759
everyone else fine?

556
00:26:05,839 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 3: Any other fun stuff popping off.

557
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,079
Speaker 5: I've just been playing docy Kok.

558
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 6: I'm looking forward to I mentioned it is another one

559
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,799
of those bombedn incentives. Yeah, Jane and I are going

560
00:26:15,839 --> 00:26:17,720
out to North Carolina on Friday.

561
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:18,319
Speaker 3: I forgot.

562
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 6: We're gonna go hang out with a fane, eat some barbecue,

563
00:26:20,759 --> 00:26:22,599
drink some beers, and make a video together.

564
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 3: That's gonna be fun. So look for that in the

565
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,200
near future. That is great.

566
00:26:25,279 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: That is fantastic. The only thing grub go ahead.

567
00:26:29,319 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just gonna say that that. You guys

568
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,400
see that millennial song thing on social media over the

569
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,200
last couple of days.

570
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 3: So the idea is like, like, what is the definitional

571
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:41,000
millennial song?

572
00:26:41,079 --> 00:26:42,799
Speaker 2: And I think people had some criteria of like it

573
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,359
like it was in that moment and it's not necessarily

574
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,759
a song that people in the younger jury generations have

575
00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:50,559
adopted or something like that. But I don't know if

576
00:26:50,559 --> 00:26:52,559
we need to necessarily like be like strict to that.

577
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 3: What do you guys think is like the millennial easy.

578
00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:00,279
I mean, I feel like mister Brightside killers see that.

579
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,519
Speaker 5: I think it's my own worst enemy.

580
00:27:02,599 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 3: By lit, I can see that.

581
00:27:05,039 --> 00:27:08,079
Speaker 6: I feel like every fucking high school like video at

582
00:27:08,079 --> 00:27:09,839
the end of the year was said to that green day,

583
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,000
it's something something.

584
00:27:13,079 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean these are a little bit later. I

585
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,279
think I know what Grubs said. And I did not

586
00:27:17,519 --> 00:27:19,960
hate kiss buy a Rose.

587
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, kiss from a Rose for me.

588
00:27:21,799 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 2: The reason so my reason for that is there was

589
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,079
a time in the nineties where songs from movies would

590
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,480
just take over the entire world and you could not

591
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:32,119
escape it.

592
00:27:32,519 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 3: They and like and let you could escape it if

593
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,200
you were a little bit older, right.

594
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 2: If you were gen X, if you were if you

595
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,559
were a boomer, you were like listening to music in

596
00:27:40,599 --> 00:27:42,519
your car, like you had your own way to buy

597
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,680
music and all that stuff. I was just like, whatever

598
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,759
the culture was giving me, I was getting hit right

599
00:27:46,799 --> 00:27:48,960
in the face with it. And Kiss from a Rose

600
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,680
was over the top with that.

601
00:27:51,279 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 5: It was everywhere.

602
00:27:52,279 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 2: It was everywhere, like you know, the the Slindon song

603
00:27:55,079 --> 00:27:57,599
for Titanic as well as pretty I think that one

604
00:27:57,599 --> 00:27:58,640
almost transcends.

605
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 6: I don't know, because like I never when I was

606
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,680
growing up listen to current music of my generation. But

607
00:28:04,839 --> 00:28:06,960
like even then, even though I wasn't listening to modern

608
00:28:07,279 --> 00:28:10,519
stations or anything, Kess Rose, you could not avoid anywhere.

609
00:28:10,759 --> 00:28:14,039
Speaker 3: Yes, I think that's whole for everything.

610
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 4: This is a bit of a impossible exercise too, right,

611
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,319
it's a big generation space jam because you could make

612
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,359
the argument that it should be like a song from

613
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,720
like the late eighties, right, because you right, like it could.

614
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,160
Someone said in chat smells like teen Spirit, which is

615
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,319
like early nineties, right, Like that's searching?

616
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:36,839
Speaker 5: What about?

617
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 4: Because I feel like I grew up with that.

618
00:28:39,119 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 3: We did millennials.

619
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 5: Yes, you guys are definitely olter millennials.

620
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,559
Speaker 1: Yeah not Mike and I were young.

621
00:28:48,359 --> 00:28:50,039
Speaker 5: Uh what about? Uh?

622
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,559
Speaker 3: I want it that way? By Backstreet Boys for.

623
00:28:53,599 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 5: Sure, like the boy band era could be represented. There

624
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,160
were so many, right, There's so many things that were

625
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:03,200
kind of happening just in that millennial sweet spot, right,

626
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,599
I saw so much. I say, Toxic by Britney Spears, like.

627
00:29:07,119 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 2: I think, amen, brother Smooth Smooth is the one that,

628
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,079
like Escape was massive, Who's smooth?

629
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 3: That's some Matchbox twenty in Santana. What are we doing?

630
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,720
It's obviously the macarena.

631
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:21,319
Speaker 1: Right.

632
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,039
Speaker 3: I definitely thought about the macarena in that same vein,

633
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:24,960
I was like, who let.

634
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 5: The dogs out? All five?

635
00:29:28,599 --> 00:29:28,799
Speaker 3: Yeah?

636
00:29:28,799 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 5: Star Tag Team back.

637
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,359
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I smell a premium podcast. We did this

638
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,440
way back in the day where we ranked worst eighties

639
00:29:37,519 --> 00:29:40,319
songs and then eventually ninety songs. We should crown the

640
00:29:40,359 --> 00:29:41,599
most millennial song.

641
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, look it and.

642
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,319
Speaker 1: We just like put the timer on for an hour

643
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,960
and then that's it, and then our definitive list will

644
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:49,839
be the definitive list.

645
00:29:50,599 --> 00:29:52,559
Speaker 4: This this thing is if this is like a double

646
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,960
CD album, is what I think we're trying to do.

647
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:55,799
Speaker 1: You know?

648
00:29:56,119 --> 00:30:00,279
Speaker 3: This is this is so like at SGF, we'll be

649
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,039
selling CDs. Yeah, burn CDs.

650
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did go look back at we I was like,

651
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,200
did we ever watch that star fuck sixty four toys

652
00:30:09,279 --> 00:30:10,559
r us p our video?

653
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 3: And we definitely did.

654
00:30:11,839 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 2: And uh, in there we had the idea of making

655
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,759
our content and putting on VHS and shipping into people's houses.

656
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 3: We still got to do that. We still have to

657
00:30:19,599 --> 00:30:21,119
like make a VHS tapen.

658
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 5: Oh maybe my next I wonder if my next like

659
00:30:24,119 --> 00:30:26,000
lunch break during tickey thing, I could just play that

660
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,599
VHS while I eat entertain people. Am I allowed to

661
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:29,799
just do that? Yes?

662
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:30,839
Speaker 3: You do whatever you want.

663
00:30:31,279 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 5: Yes.

664
00:30:32,319 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: The Eiffel sixty five song, Oh yeah, an entire version

665
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:38,519
of that also.

666
00:30:39,039 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, and all day and all night everything he sees

667
00:30:40,799 --> 00:30:42,000
just blue like him inside and outs.

668
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: I blew his I wasn't asking you to do this, Okay,

669
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,359
all right, Premium folks, you got a bunch of stuff

670
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,680
headed your way. A new episode of Portal Piles dropping

671
00:30:52,759 --> 00:30:54,640
this afternoon, the most.

672
00:30:56,519 --> 00:31:01,039
Speaker 5: Rise up Portal Pals.

673
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,039
Speaker 3: Thank you, Jim, We got moms.

674
00:31:04,079 --> 00:31:07,359
Speaker 5: There's a lot of good in this episode too. Where

675
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:08,240
is the condom?

676
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: Man?

677
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 4: Just you like frantically searching for a condom like that

678
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:16,440
just sounds.

679
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 3: It's funny.

680
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,079
Speaker 4: It's tearing apart your whole bedroom where.

681
00:31:21,759 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: Yes, there's a god. Every time I sit down and

682
00:31:26,079 --> 00:31:28,440
edit Portal Pals, I just like I have to think

683
00:31:28,519 --> 00:31:33,119
and stop of like, wow, Mary is untouchable. Like Mary,

684
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:34,920
she could do she could do it, be the last

685
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,119
person on earth canceled. Oh yes, yes, yes, and then

686
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,559
she'll wind up canceling herself just because she could.

687
00:31:41,119 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 3: Uh, folks.

688
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:48,079
Speaker 1: A lot of games slowly trickling out. But first one

689
00:31:48,119 --> 00:31:50,200
I want to talk about is the one that Mike

690
00:31:50,279 --> 00:31:52,319
Minatti has been playing and is going to continue to

691
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,279
be playing on the website. That game is Donkey Kong

692
00:31:55,319 --> 00:31:55,880
sixty four.

693
00:31:56,759 --> 00:32:01,359
Speaker 5: Mikey, Yeah, I played like over ten hours of this game. Actually,

694
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,039
did you just yesterday?

695
00:32:03,079 --> 00:32:03,839
Speaker 3: How's that possible?

696
00:32:04,119 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 5: I know to go? I think that game's find somewhere.

697
00:32:09,039 --> 00:32:12,559
I am definitely definitely still very much in there. What

698
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,599
are you all complaining about phase? I understand that could change,

699
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,640
especially as I really hunt for the items, but I'm like,

700
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,200
you run around collects stuff and.

701
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 3: Uh, real quick, you will mark this down to put

702
00:32:25,759 --> 00:32:27,039
into a yah.

703
00:32:27,359 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 5: I think there are some there's a certain breed of

704
00:32:29,799 --> 00:32:33,920
gamer who the moment they backtrack at all, like something

705
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,480
fives in their brain and it's painful for them. They

706
00:32:36,519 --> 00:32:39,279
hate doing that, and I've just never been bothered by that.

707
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,000
So yeah, like in this game, you have to backtruck

708
00:32:42,079 --> 00:32:44,160
of lock. You gotta go back to that barrel, become

709
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,079
another monkey, and go to a place you just went to.

710
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,799
I don't care, That's fine with me.

711
00:32:49,519 --> 00:32:52,759
Speaker 2: It's just all like put yourself back in that moment

712
00:32:53,279 --> 00:32:56,079
of oh my god, we're gonna get a Donkey Kong

713
00:32:56,599 --> 00:32:59,519
three D platformer like Mario sixty four.

714
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,039
Speaker 3: And this game is not that.

715
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 5: It is.

716
00:33:02,039 --> 00:33:05,359
Speaker 2: Everything you're doing is the less fun version of something

717
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,960
you could have been doing in Maris sixty four, or

718
00:33:07,039 --> 00:33:09,359
completely absent of the kind of fun stuff you were

719
00:33:09,359 --> 00:33:12,200
doing in Mario sixty four. And so the comparison really

720
00:33:12,319 --> 00:33:14,680
hurt it in that moment. And that's still the emotions

721
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,799
I carry forward from this game of being like so

722
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,240
not only is it like just kind of collect collectith

723
00:33:20,319 --> 00:33:23,839
on first, not fun three D platformer stuff first, and

724
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,720
then it has all this like awkwardness in how you're

725
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,000
gonna be doing that collectithon stuff. You walk up it

726
00:33:29,039 --> 00:33:30,559
to a thing and like, hey, it would be fun

727
00:33:30,599 --> 00:33:32,000
to interact with this, and the game's like, well you

728
00:33:32,039 --> 00:33:34,039
can't until you come back later as this other thing.

729
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,000
Why And it's like there's no good reason other than

730
00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:38,319
that's just the way the game works.

731
00:33:38,559 --> 00:33:43,119
Speaker 5: It does strike me actually while playing it, how little

732
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,200
actual platform there is right, Like like Mario sixty four,

733
00:33:46,759 --> 00:33:50,079
that's the game that's gonna platforming. You're jumping, you're jumping

734
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:51,680
up walls and things like that, but you know this

735
00:33:51,839 --> 00:33:54,720
game you don't have the wall jump, you don't have

736
00:33:55,599 --> 00:33:59,599
you know, double jump, triple jump, the sideway jump. It's

737
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,960
it is really less about the traversal, and it really

738
00:34:03,079 --> 00:34:05,480
is kind of more like like get this figure out

739
00:34:05,519 --> 00:34:08,639
how to get this particular ape over here, then you

740
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,400
can push this button and something unlocks over there, and

741
00:34:11,519 --> 00:34:13,840
maybe you'll go into a mini game things like that.

742
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,440
But you know, I think the mini games have still

743
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,599
been mostly fun. I know I struggled for a bit,

744
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:22,639
but getting to play original Donkey Kong that's a good time. No,

745
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,480
But like, yeah, it is, it is. It's it is

746
00:34:25,519 --> 00:34:28,360
almost less of a three D platform and more collectithon

747
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,280
like that really is the name of the genre. And

748
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,519
to be clear, like Mario sixty four ten out of ten,

749
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,000
Donkey Kong sixty four deven out of ten, right, Like, yeah,

750
00:34:37,559 --> 00:34:40,679
so that's three points difference on our review sco that

751
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,760
usually only goes to five for most people. That's a

752
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,079
big deal in a lot of ways, right Yeah, And

753
00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:48,119
maybe like time has kind of healed that wound a

754
00:34:48,159 --> 00:34:51,079
bit of expecting this game to just maybe be as

755
00:34:51,159 --> 00:34:54,239
good as Mario sixty four and that it's just not

756
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,639
gonna happen. But there there still was a lot of charm,

757
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:01,679
like the characters, the animations. They're fun, the music, the

758
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,920
DK rap I mean, come on, I do like everyone

759
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:05,519
has a gun.

760
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 3: I think it's to.

761
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 5: Shoot the things.

762
00:35:07,639 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 2: You know, it is fun that the apes have guns.

763
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,199
I like that where they got the idea for the movies. Eventually,

764
00:35:12,639 --> 00:35:14,719
I'm sorry, real quick, you should continue this.

765
00:35:16,199 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 3: All right? All right?

766
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,559
Speaker 2: Someone a Chat says, let's see here. Uh, I'm gonna

767
00:35:19,559 --> 00:35:21,400
read this from Colonel Sanders.

768
00:35:21,559 --> 00:35:21,679
Speaker 5: Uh.

769
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,519
Speaker 2: If you have a steam controller, turn it on and

770
00:35:23,599 --> 00:35:25,039
drop it a couple of feet onto your bed a

771
00:35:25,119 --> 00:35:28,159
few times safely. Just trust me, he says. He doesn't

772
00:35:28,159 --> 00:35:30,400
want to spoil it. So I'm gonna do it right

773
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,400
now while you guys continue this recording with the share record.

774
00:35:34,519 --> 00:35:36,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, good idea. All right, I'll do that, you guys.

775
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,079
I'm gonna do it right here. You guys try to

776
00:35:38,079 --> 00:35:43,800
be able to say dance tagging back random randomly drop

777
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,199
your Steam controller. That's the instructions, four or five times.

778
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,880
It's gonna it's gonna say the release date for Half

779
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,119
Life three. What I'm expecting at.

780
00:35:52,079 --> 00:35:54,559
Speaker 3: This boy, open portal.

781
00:35:56,599 --> 00:36:01,679
Speaker 5: That's the bed, immediately share onto the floor audio listeners.

782
00:36:03,159 --> 00:36:04,960
Chat told him to do this. That's something special is

783
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,079
gonna happen if he drops his.

784
00:36:07,119 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 2: Controller, control, dropping his team controller, repeat it, but but

785
00:36:10,599 --> 00:36:14,119
on like a pet pet chase, not to break it.

786
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:15,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't Why am I.

787
00:36:15,639 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 5: Doing this right? I don't know. I don't think anything

788
00:36:18,519 --> 00:36:24,039
is gonna happen. What's supposed to happen? He has Okay,

789
00:36:24,559 --> 00:36:26,960
you have to be in big picture mode, I think, Jeff,

790
00:36:28,679 --> 00:36:31,000
I think it's like an important thing to mention what

791
00:36:31,119 --> 00:36:33,599
I think those instructions may have been important.

792
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 3: A little dagger pops out or something. All right, all right,

793
00:36:40,199 --> 00:36:41,599
I'm a big picture. But I'm trying again.

794
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:43,519
Speaker 4: He's going through.

795
00:36:45,039 --> 00:36:45,519
Speaker 5: The podcast.

796
00:36:46,559 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 3: Want to be very clear, Jeff, he absolutely cannot.

797
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,280
Speaker 5: I need to want to do this. There's no way

798
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:51,840
of talking.

799
00:36:51,639 --> 00:36:54,639
Speaker 3: About he's crossing it too much. I think he needs

800
00:36:54,639 --> 00:36:55,760
to drop drop it.

801
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:57,679
Speaker 5: I think he's the right amount.

802
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 3: But that feel too high now.

803
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 4: I feel like, what do we think it's gonna do?

804
00:37:03,639 --> 00:37:04,800
I think it's just gonna like.

805
00:37:05,039 --> 00:37:10,119
Speaker 5: Nothing, something happens. Do you have lights in it? Does

806
00:37:10,199 --> 00:37:12,039
it have lights in it? I mean there's like one

807
00:37:12,199 --> 00:37:15,039
light maybe like maybe is gonna.

808
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 3: Happen on the controller or the screen. Colonel Sanders.

809
00:37:18,639 --> 00:37:22,639
Speaker 5: Colonel Sanders said this is reckless behavior, Colonel Cranel says, now,

810
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:27,239
especially when you told me to do this, you didn't

811
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,519
have to. They had tried a few times.

812
00:37:32,079 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 3: This is this is backfire.

813
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,159
Speaker 5: We might need a hit about what's supposed to happen?

814
00:37:36,199 --> 00:37:39,639
He said, what's the difference? He's dropping it? Why is

815
00:37:39,679 --> 00:37:41,920
it to be a bed? This is stupid.

816
00:37:42,519 --> 00:37:43,559
Speaker 4: The controller doesn't know.

817
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:48,639
Speaker 5: Does it have bead detection technology? What it's it makes?

818
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,519
It makes a noise. Apparently it makes a noise. Have

819
00:37:52,639 --> 00:37:54,960
you heard a noise yet? Yeah?

820
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 4: When it's I think I just heard a noise.

821
00:37:57,599 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 5: Scream it scream. It's because it's falling. Check the board.

822
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:07,880
Is it screaming really high?

823
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:08,079
Speaker 7: Up?

824
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 5: You are? You are worrying? Yes, it's screamed. Oh my god?

825
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,079
Speaker 3: Okay, was that worth it? Now?

826
00:38:16,519 --> 00:38:16,559
Speaker 1: What?

827
00:38:18,159 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 3: Actually? That was awesome?

828
00:38:20,599 --> 00:38:22,519
Speaker 2: I recorded with my phone and it's I'm not gonna

829
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,840
hear the scream so great it might well.

830
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,079
Speaker 4: Oh it's a Wilhelm scream specifically.

831
00:38:27,679 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Yeah all right, okay, Well we'll figure

832
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,079
out a way to actually do that. All right.

833
00:38:31,159 --> 00:38:33,199
Speaker 5: Okay, can you imagine if you like you actually got

834
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,760
mad at gaming, like through your controlled agger, It's.

835
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 4: That that's actually kind of funny.

836
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 5: It just am I a joke? Does my ager abuse?

837
00:38:44,639 --> 00:38:47,920
You got that step controller for jail? I've you said once,

838
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,599
I've been getting ready for Donkey Kong and then playing

839
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,039
Donkey Kong sixty four, a game I apparently feel okay

840
00:38:54,079 --> 00:38:56,199
apout right now, check back, you know on me at

841
00:38:56,199 --> 00:38:56,800
the end of the week.

842
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: Well, Mike, I've always thought you're not an ordinary foul,

843
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,079
and neither is Jeff Grubb because he has been playing

844
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,199
Dance Dance Revolution with the Ltech mat.

845
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:07,559
Speaker 5: Yeah.

846
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 2: So I had some problem with my previous Konami three

847
00:39:11,519 --> 00:39:13,719
sixty matt. It was working on a previous computer. I

848
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,599
plugged it into this new one because the last computer

849
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:16,199
was just breaking.

850
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:16,679
Speaker 3: It was bad.

851
00:39:17,079 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 2: I was carrying my hair at my hair out trying

852
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,920
to troubleshoot that one, and I didn't want to do that.

853
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,719
I don't want to spend my life trying to fix things.

854
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,440
So I got the new computer. Well it's an older computer,

855
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,280
but it's the newer one plugged in and I had

856
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,320
a new reason to trouble shoot and pull my hair out.

857
00:39:30,679 --> 00:39:33,239
The the DDR MATT for the three sixty with the

858
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,639
USB thing that was working fine on the previous computer

859
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,199
was being registered as having a a like it's called,

860
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,159
you know, a hat, which is like another word for

861
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,599
the thumbstick, is being registered as an analog stick. And

862
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,119
one thing about an analog stick you cannot press left

863
00:39:48,159 --> 00:39:50,239
and right or up and down at the same time.

864
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,599
It does not like that, so when I would try

865
00:39:52,599 --> 00:39:54,760
to do that, it's like, hey, no, there's no nothing's

866
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,719
being registered at all here. So I spent a long

867
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,679
time trying to fix that. I installed unsigned drivers for

868
00:40:02,519 --> 00:40:05,280
my my DDR MAT on my computer, which just seems

869
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,679
like a big security risk for no good reason. And

870
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,599
eventually it's like, oh, this also isn't working. So I

871
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:13,519
went online and I'm like, hey, what is like the

872
00:40:13,679 --> 00:40:17,079
shirt thing I can get to make sure I'm gonna

873
00:40:17,119 --> 00:40:18,440
have a DDR MAT that I can plug it into

874
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,840
my PC and it's just going to work. And everyone's like, look,

875
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,480
here's a bunch of cheap ones, but there's no guarantee.

876
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,440
There is one guarantee, and it is the expensive, like

877
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,039
basically metal mat. I got one that's just like the

878
00:40:30,119 --> 00:40:32,639
one in the arcade thing. So I bit the bullet,

879
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:34,880
got that talk. I actually reached out the company and

880
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,480
they pointed me in the right direction.

881
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 3: Stuff like that.

882
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,519
Speaker 2: But got the got the mat and it's it's heavy,

883
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:41,840
it's big, I can wear I can play with my

884
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,760
shoes on, which actually for me is really great.

885
00:40:44,079 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 3: And it's awesome. So I got it plugged in. It

886
00:40:46,599 --> 00:40:48,840
like stays on the ground perfectly. You know, the mat.

887
00:40:49,159 --> 00:40:51,199
You can get used to it though, like the soft mats,

888
00:40:51,599 --> 00:40:53,000
I did get used to them. That's how I learned

889
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:53,679
to play DDR.

890
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 2: And you eventually over time you just sort of like

891
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,360
subconsciously like adjust things with your foot as you're dancing

892
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:00,679
to make sure they're not and like get off too

893
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,400
far to the one side, or start like skirting underneath

894
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,440
the couch. And this one's like I don't worry about

895
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,159
all of that. I Am just going to town having

896
00:41:08,199 --> 00:41:10,239
a great time, and it feels really good, except for

897
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,639
like when I was done, like I'm a little bit

898
00:41:12,679 --> 00:41:15,159
more sore than I normally am. And it's because it's

899
00:41:15,199 --> 00:41:17,480
like I'm landing on this hard surface the impact, which

900
00:41:17,519 --> 00:41:19,719
I think is actually that's actually good. I think over

901
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,079
time I'll build up like some muscles to deal with that,

902
00:41:22,159 --> 00:41:23,719
which is what I That's one of the reasons I'm

903
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,559
playing DDR. Again is like jump training and trying to

904
00:41:26,599 --> 00:41:29,400
get some impact going keep like that bone density up.

905
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:33,159
It's great for that. DDR is awesome. Step Mania is incredible.

906
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,480
It's it's great to just go online and download these

907
00:41:35,559 --> 00:41:38,480
random song packs and be like, what is in here?

908
00:41:38,599 --> 00:41:41,920
And I this morning I danced to the theme songs

909
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,800
for Duck Tails, Tailspin and the Super Mario Bro Super Show.

910
00:41:46,199 --> 00:41:47,519
And I got to tell you I'm in a fucking

911
00:41:47,559 --> 00:41:47,960
great mood.

912
00:41:48,159 --> 00:41:49,119
Speaker 3: I'm gonna that.

913
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,760
Speaker 2: I just got Tailspin shorts. Listen, I need to get

914
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,559
Tailspin shorts and dance to some Tailspin.

915
00:41:57,199 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 5: It was excellent and it's like you can win it

916
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,440
in a mantleenspansvan Spinette perfect.

917
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:08,079
Speaker 3: I yes, I it's l tech is is the company

918
00:42:08,159 --> 00:42:08,559
that makes it?

919
00:42:08,679 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 2: Or I a mats dot com. This one's pretty expensive,

920
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,079
but I kind of I'm like glad. I always wanted to.

921
00:42:16,039 --> 00:42:18,039
Speaker 5: Get a dancing stream.

922
00:42:18,199 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 3: Does it come with a bar?

923
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 5: Or no? You can get a bar.

924
00:42:22,079 --> 00:42:24,519
Speaker 2: I don't like the bar because the bar is for

925
00:42:24,639 --> 00:42:27,239
like serious DDR players. These are people who are like

926
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,280
trying to perfect the most difficult songs. And that's never

927
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,320
really how I played. I would play on like the

928
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,000
medium levels, and I'm trying to like shift my weight

929
00:42:35,079 --> 00:42:37,039
back and forth really quickly because I like the idea

930
00:42:37,079 --> 00:42:39,840
of like stressing out the ankle muscles and be like,

931
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,719
oh my god, I'm over here and now like the

932
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,480
next thing is coming up very fast, and I got

933
00:42:43,559 --> 00:42:45,320
to get both feet over on this other side of

934
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,239
the map or the matt and I don't want to

935
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:48,840
have the assist there. I want to do that all

936
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,119
with my legs. And so that's how I'm playing. But

937
00:42:51,199 --> 00:42:53,920
you can, yes, you could buy a separate bar attach

938
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,880
it to this thing and then it behaves just like

939
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,800
the arcade control. But yeah, it's all set up now,

940
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,880
and I am god, I'm gonna do Nelly Stream and

941
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:02,400
have people pick some songs and stuff you.

942
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 1: Should t pose with five pound weights. The whole time.

943
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 2: I definitely thought about, like, who's just like when I'm

944
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,079
getting warmed up and I'm playing a slower song, I

945
00:43:10,199 --> 00:43:12,159
am like kind of going into a squatting position to

946
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,119
like put a little bit extra effort on my legs.

947
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,239
I should just go get the you know, the kettle

948
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,360
ball and kettlebell and do things that way. So but

949
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,280
I would probably hurt myself.

950
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,039
Speaker 1: You would probably hurt yourself. Yes, watch out for your

951
00:43:24,119 --> 00:43:26,320
knees and your ankies please, Yes.

952
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 3: I'm being careful.

953
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:33,159
Speaker 1: Magical Beautiful, just like Mike Minatti has been playing Magical

954
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:34,719
tetris Chiallenge.

955
00:43:35,519 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 5: This was the game I used to test my Nintendo

956
00:43:38,559 --> 00:43:41,880
sixty four set up before the Donkey Kong ying. This

957
00:43:42,079 --> 00:43:46,199
is interesting. So Capcom only made three games for the

958
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,679
n sixty four, I believe, Get Out of Yes, this

959
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,119
Resunuble two, Megan Man sixty four and this is the

960
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,400
only one that was n sixty four first. And what

961
00:43:55,599 --> 00:43:57,840
it is and somehow I've never played this game until

962
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:03,800
the weekend. This is Capcom made a Disney licensed Testris game.

963
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,639
That's what this is. In it oh, mostly kind of

964
00:44:06,679 --> 00:44:11,079
built down like the like the one v one style stuff, right,

965
00:44:11,199 --> 00:44:15,920
like the Arcade kind of competitive like puzzle fighter that

966
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,159
kind of thing. So you're clearing blocks and you're doing combos,

967
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,679
you can send junk to the opponent, and as a

968
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:25,639
campaign mode where you pick Minnie, Mickey Donald or Goofy

969
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:27,679
and there's a little story to justify you playing all

970
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:34,800
these other characters. And the pixelart looks great, right, that's fun.

971
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:39,639
The music's fantastic. It's just like an absolute banger Capcom soundtrack.

972
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,039
There was some really good sound and music in this thing.

973
00:44:43,159 --> 00:44:46,239
The game pretty challenging, especially when I got the pete

974
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,400
at the end, because these junk pieces that they are sending,

975
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,159
Like sometimes it's just like, oh, here's like a three

976
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,360
by three block, but it was like here's a six

977
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,880
by six blocker, here's like three of them in a row.

978
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:03,320
Or sometimes you just get sent monstrosities of tetraminos where

979
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,159
it's like there's like a bit like a bit here

980
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,199
that above that one three to the right to two

981
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,519
up left, like it's just a nonsense shape. You have

982
00:45:10,599 --> 00:45:12,719
to try to put it somewhere. So it's a very

983
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:16,039
different experience from playing like the more like single player

984
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,880
Tetris effects style thing. You can't even hold a block

985
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:20,960
in this one, so you don't have the reserve slot,

986
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,360
so it's largely work with it. You got trying to

987
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,480
make tetris or petrises, which is if you clear five

988
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:29,239
blocks in a row. You can do that because you

989
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,400
do get a five long boy in this one, or

990
00:45:32,599 --> 00:45:35,639
in combos are important too, right, like maybe even more

991
00:45:35,679 --> 00:45:37,760
some than a Tetris, just like clear a block and

992
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,480
then try to clear some blocks or some lines in

993
00:45:39,519 --> 00:45:42,800
the next one clear some lines there, but yeah, it

994
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,000
was it was just it was really fun. I definitely

995
00:45:45,199 --> 00:45:49,480
enjoyed the Disney flavor, but the Capcom flavor was pretty

996
00:45:49,519 --> 00:45:55,960
strong in it too, So yeah, Tetris, Fantasy Capcom great, great,

997
00:45:56,039 --> 00:45:57,119
great flavors together.

998
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,800
Speaker 1: Speaking about great flavors, I can't help want to savor

999
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,960
the flavor of those blue orbs that I want to

1000
00:46:04,079 --> 00:46:06,239
absorb in sorrows.

1001
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,559
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've been thinking about this because, like you know,

1002
00:46:10,679 --> 00:46:12,760
that's not really a game you can travel with, so

1003
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:14,559
I haven't played it for a while. I think I

1004
00:46:14,639 --> 00:46:16,159
talked about it last time I was on here, but

1005
00:46:16,199 --> 00:46:17,639
I was a little bit and grub you and I

1006
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,559
talked about it, and it's weird to me that, like

1007
00:46:19,679 --> 00:46:22,840
I came back and you know, granted there's other games

1008
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,840
out and embargo stuff for work, and as a reminder,

1009
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:26,039
you're a huge Returnal fan.

1010
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:26,760
Speaker 5: That's the thing.

1011
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 6: I adored Returnal. That is very much my type of game.

1012
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,280
I think it was one or two on my favorite

1013
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:33,679
games of the year. It was Fire Escapes game of

1014
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:35,400
the Year. Like I have been singing the praises of

1015
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,920
Returnal for six years. I got back from you know,

1016
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,800
nine day nine days away or so, but completely forgot

1017
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,360
I was playing it, you know where It's like the

1018
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,639
amount I was loving Returnal and everything that would have

1019
00:46:46,639 --> 00:46:48,039
been topped my mind. I would have been like, oh,

1020
00:46:48,039 --> 00:46:49,519
I can't wait to get back and play Returnal. And

1021
00:46:49,639 --> 00:46:51,760
I can't quite put my finger on what it is

1022
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,679
because like it is doing the Returnal thing and more.

1023
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,480
And I don't know, Grub you beat it, you were

1024
00:46:58,519 --> 00:47:01,480
viewed it, and the reason out of sight, I'm I

1025
00:47:01,519 --> 00:47:03,000
don't know, do you do you have a sense of like,

1026
00:47:03,119 --> 00:47:05,800
what is the big thing that's different here that would

1027
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:07,719
cause it to maybe not get its hooks in as much.

1028
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,039
Speaker 2: I mean, I you know, it's gonna be different for everybody.

1029
00:47:10,119 --> 00:47:12,679
My guess would be that they just sand it off

1030
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:14,960
the edges so much that it just almost feels like

1031
00:47:15,039 --> 00:47:17,159
it plays itself. I think I was talking to Mike

1032
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,159
about it, and at a certain this is like, at

1033
00:47:19,159 --> 00:47:21,639
a certain point it wasn't my final feeling about the game,

1034
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,480
but there was a point where I was remembering the

1035
00:47:24,519 --> 00:47:26,599
feeling I was having playing one of those old flash

1036
00:47:26,679 --> 00:47:28,360
games that's just about upgrading.

1037
00:47:28,599 --> 00:47:30,039
Speaker 3: Like it was like the joke about, oh.

1038
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,159
Speaker 2: This game is just an upgrade tree, and at a

1039
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,519
certain point this game Sorrow's feels like it's just the

1040
00:47:35,599 --> 00:47:38,320
upgrade tree is way more important than anything else that

1041
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,519
is happening. It sort of overtakes the gameplay of like, oh,

1042
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,599
as long as I have the upgrades here, the game

1043
00:47:43,599 --> 00:47:46,079
becomes trivial. And it does become trivial, and.

1044
00:47:46,159 --> 00:47:48,079
Speaker 6: It does feel like, you know, you're pretty much ready

1045
00:47:48,119 --> 00:47:50,800
to beat each biome's boss once you have reached like, okay,

1046
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,599
I bought everything on the tree up until this blocker here,

1047
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,760
and that's when it's like, okay, now you know you

1048
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:58,199
have to beat the boss to get past that blocker,

1049
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,360
right exactly. So it's like it feels like it allence

1050
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,239
properly kind of when you're up to that point. So

1051
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,239
kind of I don't know if that makes the previous

1052
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,400
runs kind of feel like, all right, I'm just kind

1053
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:08,440
of doing this just to kind of get my Ilumini

1054
00:48:08,599 --> 00:48:10,320
or whatever it's called, you know, to level up and

1055
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,199
then I can make a real run at it. It's uh, yeah,

1056
00:48:13,199 --> 00:48:15,039
I think it is standed off in a way. I

1057
00:48:15,079 --> 00:48:17,039
did like the Challenge of Returnal quite a bit. I

1058
00:48:17,079 --> 00:48:18,679
think I liked the look of some of the biomes.

1059
00:48:18,679 --> 00:48:21,599
I think they were a little more striking before. The

1060
00:48:21,679 --> 00:48:24,280
story is not particularly grabbing me in sorrows, Like this

1061
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,159
story is actually self fantastic.

1062
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 5: The action is just is great.

1063
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 6: The Great Enemy is great, just like bullet Hell Thread

1064
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,039
like it's doing that stuff in that housemark style that

1065
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,079
that's what they do best. But yeah, it's all to

1066
00:48:35,119 --> 00:48:36,840
say that, like it's a I think it's a very

1067
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,800
very good game, but something is happening with it where

1068
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:40,360
it's just not.

1069
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 3: Clicking with me in the same way as Returnal.

1070
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, interesting because you were Dan, correct me if I'm wrong,

1071
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,880
but you were very very high on Returnal when it

1072
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,119
came out, right, it was pretty much game of the

1073
00:48:51,199 --> 00:48:51,920
year that year.

1074
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, I can't remember one or two, but it was

1075
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,639
Fire Escapes like Group, you know, game of the year.

1076
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,400
So like very much loved it.

1077
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, so are you gonna finish it?

1078
00:49:01,039 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 5: I think so.

1079
00:49:01,679 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 3: I think it's just right now.

1080
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,360
Speaker 6: There is a lot of stuff out in some embargoed

1081
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,119
stuff that it's like going to take priority for coverage

1082
00:49:07,119 --> 00:49:08,920
on the site and stuff, So maybe there's a lull

1083
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:10,920
afterwards and then maybe you can do that. It does

1084
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:12,559
suck that, like I've been traveling so much, and like,

1085
00:49:12,639 --> 00:49:14,400
you know, obviously I shift to a lot of Steam

1086
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,039
deck type stuff or switch stuff during those times. So

1087
00:49:17,519 --> 00:49:20,119
I'll get back to it and maybe I'll change my tune.

1088
00:49:20,159 --> 00:49:21,840
But yeah, right now, it's like I couldn't believe that

1089
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:23,239
I like kind of forgot about it, you know.

1090
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:27,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I also forgot about it because it I'm just

1091
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,360
so used to And this is a very fortunate position

1092
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,000
I understand, of being able to play everything on my

1093
00:49:33,159 --> 00:49:35,679
PC that we work out of and do personal things

1094
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,079
out of. And I was looking at my Steam library,

1095
00:49:38,079 --> 00:49:40,280
I'm like, where the fuck is Sorrows? Did I delete it?

1096
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,599
Only to realize right right? Ps five only? And I

1097
00:49:45,679 --> 00:49:49,320
think for me personally, it's gonna probably make me forget

1098
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,199
about the game slowly. Sure, if I don't have like

1099
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,920
a conscious effort to circle back to it, I do

1100
00:49:55,119 --> 00:49:57,679
kind of want to finish it, Greb. You clocked in

1101
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,199
what ten thirteen hours?

1102
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 2: I know, twenty hours when I was done, I think,

1103
00:50:02,039 --> 00:50:04,239
and I think most people will be between twenty and

1104
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:05,159
twenty five hours.

1105
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 3: It would be my guess.

1106
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,079
Speaker 2: I like estimated how many runs that did, and like,

1107
00:50:09,159 --> 00:50:10,800
I think it must be around seventy but I I

1108
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:12,800
don't think that's actually right now. I need to go

1109
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,119
back and actually see what it was, but it was

1110
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,440
it definitely overstated. It's welcome for me.

1111
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,519
Speaker 3: One thing for sure, though, Rahu Coli'S performance not flat.

1112
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 5: No, no, not at all.

1113
00:50:24,159 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: You know who else isn't flat? But he might get

1114
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:32,800
flattened by specific enemies coming after him is Leon Kennedy

1115
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:34,239
and Leon Must Die.

1116
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:37,760
Speaker 5: See it's fine think me and you both realized we

1117
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,800
should talk about this at the same time in the dock.

1118
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,000
We were both trying to write. I was like broquakes,

1119
00:50:42,079 --> 00:50:43,679
I kind of did one of those, because yeah, they

1120
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:48,280
added a rogue light mode to Resident Evil Requiem followed

1121
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,679
Leon Must Die Forever. I don't know why the forever

1122
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:53,960
had to be added in there. I think Leon Must

1123
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,480
Die as a catch your name. This is a free

1124
00:50:56,519 --> 00:51:01,199
little update thing that kind of remixes all the segments

1125
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,559
into this roguelike mode where you always start off in

1126
00:51:04,679 --> 00:51:08,000
those streets that he begins with and you kind of

1127
00:51:08,119 --> 00:51:10,079
work your way from there, and there's multiple paths, but

1128
00:51:10,159 --> 00:51:13,400
the pass will go to places from the game, like

1129
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:17,000
the east wing of the care Center or you know,

1130
00:51:17,639 --> 00:51:21,719
this part of the downtown area. Then you know you

1131
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:23,719
can kind of like do it in a way where

1132
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:25,159
you maybe only go to through these levels so you

1133
00:51:25,199 --> 00:51:27,360
don't have much chance to get the upgrades, and every

1134
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,280
time you kill enemies or do certain things, you get

1135
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:32,199
experience points, and it's like pick one of three upgrades,

1136
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,119
like make your shotguns stronger, or make us that when

1137
00:51:35,159 --> 00:51:39,280
you parry your axe automatically repairs itself. Unlike in the

1138
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,440
base game, you can't just sharpen your ax. You kind

1139
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:44,920
of have to find upgrades that will repair it. Right.

1140
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:47,599
I thought it was pretty fun as this sort of

1141
00:51:47,679 --> 00:51:51,000
free offering. It's it's not doing a ton Like I said,

1142
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,519
there's not any new content here. You're fighting even the

1143
00:51:54,599 --> 00:51:56,920
same bosses from that base game, and like the file

1144
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:00,480
thing you do here is the final boss from the game.

1145
00:52:00,679 --> 00:52:02,239
But I also having a good time just kind of

1146
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,679
learning what to do, what kind of upgrades I should

1147
00:52:04,679 --> 00:52:07,679
focus on to complete one run, and then when I

1148
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:08,960
did that, it's like now you can do like the

1149
00:52:09,039 --> 00:52:11,599
next harder difficulty. I'm like, ah, I think I'm good.

1150
00:52:11,679 --> 00:52:15,079
I enjoy playing this for maybe a couple hours and

1151
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,639
learning the routes, and there's a time limit you can

1152
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,320
extend that but you really do. You really need to

1153
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:21,800
take advantage of your time. You have to kind of

1154
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:25,400
explore those areas, find the weapons, find the AMMO, find

1155
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,360
the upgrades. But it was just a good excuse to

1156
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,719
go in play more. Resume nine. Enjoy that game's very

1157
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:32,400
good combat.

1158
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,639
Speaker 1: H I'm a big fan of when a company will

1159
00:52:35,639 --> 00:52:39,199
take DALC and they just remix the bass game. It

1160
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:43,000
is music to my ears. And speaking about music, folks,

1161
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:47,639
strap in, it's time too talk about mixtape.

1162
00:52:48,679 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 3: Yay boo ooh what.

1163
00:52:52,519 --> 00:52:56,320
Speaker 6: All right, let's do it, Dan, I want to and

1164
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,360
you guys keep me honestly, why is it so weird?

1165
00:52:59,519 --> 00:53:02,159
While you guys, I blade on the fan and I

1166
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:05,360
had a lot of feelings and I realized, Okay, this

1167
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:07,239
could very easily be a thing where I go on

1168
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:08,440
the podcast.

1169
00:53:08,519 --> 00:53:09,199
Speaker 5: Bay by Bay.

1170
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,360
Speaker 6: This sucks this the ship Bay Bay Bay, And I'm like, okay, no,

1171
00:53:12,599 --> 00:53:15,199
I'm an adult. I've done this job for a few

1172
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:15,599
years now.

1173
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,280
Speaker 4: You're an adult man with a salary and a wife.

1174
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.

1175
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:22,199
Speaker 5: I should be able to wit bragging guys, I get it.

1176
00:53:23,559 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 6: I should be able to articulate the things that annoy

1177
00:53:26,039 --> 00:53:28,360
me about this game like an adult and not just

1178
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:29,039
say it sucks.

1179
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 4: Well, I guess this is Dan growing up then and.

1180
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:38,840
Speaker 6: Again then so okay, let me let me make this clear.

1181
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:40,840
Any any you complain I have about this is not

1182
00:53:41,079 --> 00:53:43,880
that like I've heard you told me. There's kind of

1183
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,599
that like anti gone Home probably not a real game.

1184
00:53:46,639 --> 00:53:48,800
It's walking to me, but that's horsehit. I like Going

1185
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,239
Home a lot. There's no complaxhrame.

1186
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,519
Speaker 2: I saw today you press more buttons in a standard

1187
00:53:54,679 --> 00:53:57,679
Stellar Blade combo than you do in the entire Old Ship.

1188
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 5: That right, that.

1189
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 3: Coming from interesting? Interesting.

1190
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:06,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm starting to realize I am completely out of

1191
00:54:06,639 --> 00:54:08,320
the loop on the discourse of this game.

1192
00:54:09,039 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 6: I could stay there, keep going down. So there is

1193
00:54:12,039 --> 00:54:14,000
no like a game. There's no games have to be this,

1194
00:54:14,159 --> 00:54:15,960
games have to be that has to be hard, you

1195
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:17,880
have to be able to die. It's like, no, it's

1196
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:21,239
none of that stuff. I think it's a tonal thing.

1197
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:23,599
I think it's a writing thing, and I think it's

1198
00:54:23,679 --> 00:54:28,000
a I think I hate pandury nostalgia. You know, I

1199
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,960
love retro stuff as much fossil. I'm constantly playing games

1200
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,039
from the nineties. I'm constantly watching wrestling from the nineties.

1201
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,039
I love my nostalgia. I like to, you know, play

1202
00:54:36,119 --> 00:54:38,039
the actual and watch the actual things from back then.

1203
00:54:38,079 --> 00:54:41,719
I don't necessarily need my modern entertainment to be spoon

1204
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:43,360
feeding it to me, you know. I feel like that

1205
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:45,679
happens a lot. I don't like stranger things. I think

1206
00:54:45,679 --> 00:54:47,239
there's a lot of stuff that panders to a certain

1207
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:51,199
type of forty something like me that I find a

1208
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:52,159
little pandury.

1209
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 3: And this one too.

1210
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 6: They're like the phrase it insists upon itself pops into

1211
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:58,480
my head a lot when I'm playing this game. I

1212
00:54:58,519 --> 00:55:00,079
played about half of it based on you know, like

1213
00:55:00,159 --> 00:55:01,239
an hour and a half, but on the plane I

1214
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,480
heard it's like three hours long. And it's like, right

1215
00:55:03,559 --> 00:55:04,880
from the get go, it's like, first of all, I

1216
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:06,360
don't like these characters at all. I don't like the

1217
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:07,760
way they talk, I don't like the way they act.

1218
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:09,760
I don't like anything about them. And it's the part

1219
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:11,719
where like when the first minute or two, the main

1220
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:13,920
character turns to look at the camera to look at

1221
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,480
the player and says like, soon you won't just be

1222
00:55:16,559 --> 00:55:18,360
listening to music, You'll be listening to.

1223
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:19,119
Speaker 3: Who you were.

1224
00:55:19,639 --> 00:55:22,599
Speaker 6: And it's like, okay, we're speaking to a very specific

1225
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,119
nostalgia here. I didn't listen to this music. I didn't

1226
00:55:25,119 --> 00:55:27,360
hang out with people like these goobers. I didn't do

1227
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,639
the things these people do. This is not speaking to

1228
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:31,480
my youth, and like to look at me if this

1229
00:55:31,559 --> 00:55:33,239
is what we were all like in the nineties, right,

1230
00:55:33,559 --> 00:55:36,800
and it's like, no, that's very annoying to me. Also,

1231
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:41,320
you know the movie Baby Driver, Yes, I didn't like

1232
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:42,800
that movie at all. I know it was like well

1233
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:44,360
received and stuff, but I didn't like it. It felt

1234
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,920
to me like it was the showcase of like Edgar

1235
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,119
Wright or whatever, like let me showcase my eclectic taste

1236
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,119
and music and stuff, and like basically I'm going to

1237
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,000
force a playlist upon you. You know this very much

1238
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,440
feels like that, but even more deliberate, where it's like

1239
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,679
every single fucking chapter that character is like looking at you.

1240
00:55:59,679 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 3: And I know characters supposed to be music supervisors to

1241
00:56:01,519 --> 00:56:03,199
players and the like what her role is and or

1242
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:04,039
whatever passion is.

1243
00:56:04,079 --> 00:56:05,679
Speaker 6: But it's like to look at the player and be

1244
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:07,800
like this next song from Devo is like this, it's

1245
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:09,800
the perfect hangout vibe or whatever it's like, so it

1246
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:11,760
really fits this next scene. It's like to have a

1247
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,039
character look at me as I'm playing, and explain to

1248
00:56:14,159 --> 00:56:16,440
me why this was a cool choice for the soundtrack

1249
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,760
for this next scene drove me insane. I like, show,

1250
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,039
don't tell. Like it is a good soundtrack like these,

1251
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:26,880
It's good, but like a it just feels pandery. It

1252
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:30,239
feels like it insists upon itself. It very much does

1253
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,679
the you know grub. We've talked about Red Dead two

1254
00:56:32,679 --> 00:56:34,360
a lot where it's like, you know, not that this

1255
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:35,840
is trying to be an open world game like Red

1256
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:38,039
Dead two, but like it's like, Okay, I'm trying to

1257
00:56:38,079 --> 00:56:39,559
go down the stairs in the house and my character's

1258
00:56:39,559 --> 00:56:42,000
like Hugh Campbell yet because like, oh I got to

1259
00:56:42,039 --> 00:56:44,199
go look at a VCR or a Polaroid or a

1260
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,000
CD or hey remember the nineties.

1261
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:46,559
Speaker 5: You know.

1262
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 3: It's just like it is a very on rails experience.

1263
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:52,840
Speaker 6: It is a very like let me show you the

1264
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:54,559
music I listened to, let me show you the things

1265
00:56:54,599 --> 00:57:01,320
I'm nostalgic for, with very unlikable characters. It I just

1266
00:57:01,599 --> 00:57:02,880
there was nothing in it for me. There is an

1267
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:06,960
undeniable style to it. The direction is great, the soundtrack

1268
00:57:07,199 --> 00:57:10,960
is very good, I think, but I'd say I just

1269
00:57:11,159 --> 00:57:13,760
was getting annoyed the entire time I was playing rather

1270
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:14,400
than enjoying it.

1271
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'm not surprised by any of that.

1272
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:21,960
As it was playing like Dan's gonna hate this, Like

1273
00:57:22,119 --> 00:57:24,199
yeah it was, and like and I'm I think a

1274
00:57:24,239 --> 00:57:26,079
lot of people are going to have this reaction of

1275
00:57:27,159 --> 00:57:29,280
this does not speak to me, and it thinks it

1276
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:32,360
does and that bothers me. And it's like that that

1277
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,159
I won't be surprised by because it's like, yeah, for me,

1278
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,639
I usually play these things or watch things like this,

1279
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,000
like like a lot of Wes Anderson movies, I think

1280
00:57:41,079 --> 00:57:43,239
try to like have this artifice put on top of them.

1281
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:44,599
Speaker 3: And I think that's what it's going for.

1282
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 2: In those moments where she's turning the camera, you said,

1283
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,360
that's that's like you show not or show not tell,

1284
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:51,159
and it is.

1285
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:52,119
Speaker 3: It is doing that.

1286
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:54,719
Speaker 2: It is showing, but it's showing like what she thinks

1287
00:57:55,159 --> 00:57:57,360
her life is going to be when she's a music supervisor,

1288
00:57:57,559 --> 00:57:59,440
and she's acting that way in the way that like

1289
00:57:59,719 --> 00:58:02,440
kids play at this idea of what they think the

1290
00:58:02,519 --> 00:58:04,000
real world's going to be like and what their job's

1291
00:58:04,039 --> 00:58:05,760
going to be like before they get there. That's what

1292
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,880
they're trying to get across and that's obnoxious. When kids

1293
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,599
do that, that's embarrassing. And that's the thing that I

1294
00:58:11,639 --> 00:58:13,239
think a lot of people are going to be repulsed by.

1295
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 5: Here.

1296
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 3: For me, it's like, I see that, and I have kids.

1297
00:58:16,559 --> 00:58:20,199
Speaker 2: Who are quickly growing, They're moving into this age very fast,

1298
00:58:20,639 --> 00:58:23,079
and as a piece of thing that like understands what

1299
00:58:23,159 --> 00:58:26,480
it's like to be awkward and young and overconfident and

1300
00:58:26,639 --> 00:58:29,480
trying to move from one period of your life that

1301
00:58:29,639 --> 00:58:32,719
you are that you have like a love for, but

1302
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:34,400
you also know that you want to move on and

1303
00:58:34,519 --> 00:58:36,159
go to New York City and have the rest of

1304
00:58:36,159 --> 00:58:39,039
your life begin any moment. Like American Graffiti, I think

1305
00:58:39,079 --> 00:58:41,079
it does a good job of capturing all of those

1306
00:58:41,119 --> 00:58:43,960
emotions in a way that I was pretty impressed by it.

1307
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:48,239
It is not a very good encapsulation of what it

1308
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:50,079
was like to be young in the nineties. It is

1309
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,920
a sort of it is a facsimile, and I think

1310
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,440
it gets that across by like in the moments when

1311
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,519
they're sitting in the car, driving around, hanging out with

1312
00:58:57,559 --> 00:58:59,880
each other, it's fake. They're sitting at a fake car

1313
00:59:00,079 --> 00:59:02,679
on a movie set with rear projection behind them and

1314
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:05,280
they're playing at these feelings and it's like for me,

1315
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:06,800
it's like, Okay, it knows.

1316
00:59:06,639 --> 00:59:07,159
Speaker 3: What it's doing.

1317
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:09,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so it's playing it over the tops of

1318
00:59:09,239 --> 00:59:12,599
fantasy for an effect. It's a childhood fantasy, and and

1319
00:59:13,599 --> 00:59:18,000
that she is curating it for presentation the way that

1320
00:59:18,119 --> 00:59:20,440
she wants to have the job of being a music supervisor.

1321
00:59:20,519 --> 00:59:22,679
That's her dream job, which is someone who picks out

1322
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:24,840
music for movies and television shows and stuff like that.

1323
00:59:25,239 --> 00:59:27,400
And she's doing that with her entire life. And I

1324
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,320
think if that is what they're going for, they nailed it.

1325
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:32,639
And then the small little gameplay vignettes that you do,

1326
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,239
like skipping stones, chuck shooting that in the quick look,

1327
00:59:35,639 --> 00:59:37,800
all that stuff is like really well done. The shopping

1328
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:40,679
cart sequence was fun to play for me. I'm like,

1329
00:59:40,719 --> 00:59:44,360
I like moving this thing around, so it is not

1330
00:59:44,599 --> 00:59:46,840
so it's definitely not that perfect encapsulation what was like

1331
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:49,000
for me. I don't recognize a lot of these people

1332
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:52,320
for my youth, but I like as like a sort

1333
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:54,159
of cross generational.

1334
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:56,559
Speaker 3: Attempt to explain what it's like in that moment. I

1335
00:59:56,639 --> 00:59:57,840
think it's mostly nailing it.

1336
00:59:58,199 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I don't think it's a bad I think.

1337
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 6: You know, probably a lot of it just boils down to,

1338
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,239
like I would have hated these people in high school,

1339
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,079
you know, Like I just they seem very obnoxious and pretentious,

1340
01:00:08,079 --> 01:00:09,840
and like I would have just like avoided them like

1341
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,239
the plague. And maybe that's like I just see this

1342
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,159
and I see these characters in the game, and I'm like, oh,

1343
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:16,519
maybe that's where this is kind of perfect what he was.

1344
01:00:16,639 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 3: You know, I would have I would have avoided them too.

1345
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 2: But I'm at a point in my life now where

1346
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:21,360
I look back it's like, oh, I could see that

1347
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:24,480
they were just as insecure as they were dealing with

1348
01:00:24,559 --> 01:00:25,599
all the same things I was.

1349
01:00:25,719 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 3: And now I'm like ready to like listen to them

1350
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:28,039
a little bit more.

1351
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:28,559
Speaker 5: You know.

1352
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,880
Speaker 4: My theory, my theory of like you are your worst

1353
01:00:32,079 --> 01:00:34,960
version of yourself between the ages of like fifteen and

1354
01:00:35,079 --> 01:00:39,320
like twenty four, right, Like that's basically right. So I also,

1355
01:00:39,639 --> 01:00:42,599
I guess I'm what I'm sort of extracting here is

1356
01:00:42,679 --> 01:00:46,360
like I'm kind of surprised in which at the seriousness

1357
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:50,440
in which people are sort of absorbing this this experience.

1358
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:54,440
I find that a little fascinating, And I don't know,

1359
01:00:54,599 --> 01:00:56,639
like it's just not it is not what it has

1360
01:00:56,679 --> 01:01:00,360
occurred to me. And obviously everyone should be able, uh

1361
01:01:00,519 --> 01:01:03,760
to experience this thing in the way that they feel

1362
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:06,360
like they need to. I guess I am surprised that

1363
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:10,119
people from what you're describing to like having this kind

1364
01:01:10,119 --> 01:01:10,559
of reaction.

1365
01:01:10,719 --> 01:01:11,079
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1366
01:01:11,199 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm just kind of like letting it happen,

1367
01:01:13,599 --> 01:01:17,960
and I'm finding it to be like a very uh

1368
01:01:18,159 --> 01:01:20,239
you know, like I said, it is a fantasy game

1369
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:23,840
for sure, and I think in that regard, I find

1370
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,400
it to be like pretty engaging and I'm kind of

1371
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,559
digging it. I don't this isn't going to change my

1372
01:01:29,679 --> 01:01:32,400
life in any way, but I think I think it

1373
01:01:32,559 --> 01:01:35,239
is doing what it is like setting out to do.

1374
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:39,320
And I and you know, I'm playing. It's like it's

1375
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:42,760
also the first game in many, many many years that

1376
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:45,760
I've like you know, convinced my wife to sit down

1377
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:50,039
and like be like, yo, hey, you know, check this out,

1378
01:01:50,119 --> 01:01:51,679
like look what they're look what they're doing with the

1379
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:55,920
video games now, like you know, and you know, uh,

1380
01:01:56,559 --> 01:02:00,639
she's obviously she's snickering a lot at the music supervisor

1381
01:02:00,639 --> 01:02:02,159
stuff where she's like, I have to send this to

1382
01:02:02,199 --> 01:02:06,360
a bunch of music supervisors. Yeah, and yeah, I think

1383
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,800
it's like, uh, I don't know, it's just kind of

1384
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:14,400
comfort food, no steaks, really just saccharine in a way

1385
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:17,639
that I'm like, yeah, yeah, I can't identify necessarily like

1386
01:02:18,639 --> 01:02:22,719
again because I'm not looking for this weight in it, right,

1387
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:25,239
Like I'm not sure I'm not saying like, oh, are

1388
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:28,480
they accurately depicting you know, the nineties. I kind of

1389
01:02:28,519 --> 01:02:31,119
think like the target is a little all over the

1390
01:02:31,199 --> 01:02:33,480
map of like all of the time period is is

1391
01:02:33,559 --> 01:02:37,199
it doesn't matter right, Like, uh so yeah, I think

1392
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:40,039
I'm I'm I'm like really able to find like a

1393
01:02:40,119 --> 01:02:42,800
lot of comfort in that experience with it. And yeah,

1394
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:46,159
like the moment to moment stuff is sort of not

1395
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:48,440
the most like overly engaging, but I think it has

1396
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:50,440
a lot of like clever tricks up it's gonna.

1397
01:02:52,079 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 3: For too long, you know.

1398
01:02:53,159 --> 01:02:55,599
Speaker 4: And that was the thing too, where like, uh, this

1399
01:02:55,679 --> 01:02:58,000
has been this has been a game many times and

1400
01:02:58,159 --> 01:03:00,719
I'm probably maybe like we're probably too hours into it

1401
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,400
where I'm like, oh, here's states like take this, do

1402
01:03:03,639 --> 01:03:05,800
do this, do this thing, you know, like started with

1403
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:08,880
the tongues and stuff that, Yeah, and I think for

1404
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,679
those reasons, it's pretty great. I you know, I think

1405
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:14,840
I am gonna stay away from any kind of like

1406
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:18,400
other analysis of this just because I think it's me

1407
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:19,960
maybe a waste of time.

1408
01:03:20,519 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1409
01:03:21,559 --> 01:03:25,639
Speaker 4: Uh, but uh yeah, that's that's my take. I fooled you.

1410
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 1: You.

1411
01:03:26,239 --> 01:03:27,639
Speaker 4: I bet everyone thought I was gonna.

1412
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:27,920
Speaker 5: Hate this ship.

1413
01:03:28,039 --> 01:03:28,079
Speaker 3: No.

1414
01:03:28,519 --> 01:03:32,119
Speaker 5: No, we thought you'd like, yeah, yeah, it's fun.

1415
01:03:32,559 --> 01:03:35,840
Speaker 1: So I haven't spent too much time with the game yet,

1416
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:42,119
but I have a major question, Grub, you've you've beat.

1417
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 3: This yet or no? I played. I played quite a bit.

1418
01:03:45,039 --> 01:03:46,559
Then I've been playing some other stuff for work. But yes,

1419
01:03:46,639 --> 01:03:47,239
copy copy.

1420
01:03:47,639 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 1: At any point, does the main character explain why she

1421
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,360
wears these headphones fucking backwards?

1422
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 4: I dude, I thought that for a second the first

1423
01:03:57,360 --> 01:04:00,280
time I saw them. The costs right there, the cost on. Yeah,

1424
01:04:00,719 --> 01:04:02,400
I thought that for a second, and I was like, oh,

1425
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:04,079
maybe I'm just getting it all backwards.

1426
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:06,960
Speaker 5: She is, huh she wears a backwards.

1427
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:08,599
Speaker 3: Left right there.

1428
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:14,920
Speaker 4: Now I'm back on the criticism when I go, uh, Grub.

1429
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:16,639
Speaker 6: You said something earlier. I have been thinking about this

1430
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:19,159
where it's like they are teenagers. They are supposed to

1431
01:04:19,199 --> 01:04:20,440
be like of course you would be kind of like

1432
01:04:20,679 --> 01:04:22,960
almost a little pretentious without She discusses like one.

1433
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:26,719
Speaker 3: Of yeah, and you know what, I think they know everything. Yeah,

1434
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:27,840
that did make me think.

1435
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:29,719
Speaker 6: I bet at that age, these characters in the game

1436
01:04:29,719 --> 01:04:31,719
are supposed to be sixteen, seventeen or whatever. If you

1437
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:35,239
asked me anything about Tarantino or Kubrick or something, I

1438
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:37,159
bet I would be insufferable about it.

1439
01:04:37,239 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 3: I bet I know.

1440
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:39,079
Speaker 5: I bet I would talk about.

1441
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:40,599
Speaker 6: How like when I was making my little video announcements

1442
01:04:40,639 --> 01:04:42,559
and short films and stuff back then, I was like, oh,

1443
01:04:42,679 --> 01:04:44,480
so here this is a very Cooper guest shut or

1444
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:46,360
something like, I bet I would have done that shit.

1445
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:48,239
So it's like and that way, Yeah, maybe it is

1446
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:50,159
kind of an maybe that can be both like these

1447
01:04:50,199 --> 01:04:52,719
characters are unlikable, but also this is an accurate depiction.

1448
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:54,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, and etistic.

1449
01:04:54,239 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 2: You know, I think where you like the lineup for you,

1450
01:04:56,159 --> 01:04:59,400
dan Is is you would not probably make a video

1451
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:01,920
game or a movie about yourself at that age. Probably

1452
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:03,960
not like because it's like you like that, I would

1453
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:06,000
be in so or thinking about the insufferable part of you.

1454
01:05:06,719 --> 01:05:09,440
This game wants to explore that stuff and kind of

1455
01:05:09,519 --> 01:05:11,800
like get at that feeling of life is moving on.

1456
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:14,679
I mean the touchstone for me is American graffiti.

1457
01:05:14,719 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 5: I have.

1458
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:16,719
Speaker 3: I see a lot of American graffiti.

1459
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 2: And I think it's like a pretty good nineties ish

1460
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:24,079
version of American graffiti of people are people are moving on?

1461
01:05:24,559 --> 01:05:26,679
Everyone's got their feelings about that. This one person that

1462
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:28,199
keeps saying they want to move on? Like, where where

1463
01:05:28,199 --> 01:05:30,599
does that leave me? I've been your whole life and

1464
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:34,400
and it's like, yeah, that's that is actually universal. People

1465
01:05:34,519 --> 01:05:36,599
are everywhere are going to be related to that. This

1466
01:05:36,679 --> 01:05:38,800
game was made by people in Australia about these kids

1467
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:43,079
in California. It's like, yeah, I think emotionally it's very true.

1468
01:05:43,599 --> 01:05:45,360
And it's it all comes down to whether or not

1469
01:05:45,519 --> 01:05:47,400
that is something that you want to be thinking about

1470
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:48,079
or exploring.

1471
01:05:48,519 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 4: There's never a moment in your life that you think

1472
01:05:51,519 --> 01:05:55,880
matters more, but in reality matters matters less. Yes, And

1473
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,199
that's that time of life that this game I think

1474
01:05:58,280 --> 01:05:59,559
is portraying for sure.

1475
01:05:59,639 --> 01:06:01,800
Speaker 6: And I don't think I ever had angst. You know,

1476
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:04,159
whenever I hear the phrase teen angst or whatever, I've

1477
01:06:04,199 --> 01:06:05,800
like googled, like what is angst? And like, I don't

1478
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:07,639
think I've ever had this so like, I think it's

1479
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:10,320
just like I don't think that, you know, I relate

1480
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:10,840
to that at all.

1481
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:12,639
Speaker 3: So maybe that's part of my reason I can't find

1482
01:06:12,679 --> 01:06:13,519
myself enjoying this.

1483
01:06:13,639 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 1: You know.

1484
01:06:14,239 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 3: Yep, yeah, I am not surprised playing it that people

1485
01:06:17,559 --> 01:06:19,559
are having these feelings about it. A lot of people do.

1486
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 2: I think the first thing I said when we talked

1487
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:23,880
about it last week, Jan Mike, I think I was saying, like,

1488
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:26,239
this game is not going to be for everybody, and

1489
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:28,280
you could just tell you. And then the first thing

1490
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:31,000
you said to me was I don't want dance to please.

1491
01:06:32,519 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. Wait, did I handle this responsible?

1492
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:36,039
Speaker 5: Well?

1493
01:06:36,119 --> 01:06:38,719
Speaker 3: Lots of instructive criticism, you explored your own feelings about it.

1494
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:41,159
I'm happy with this conversation. Well done. Yeah.

1495
01:06:41,599 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 1: I think the personally, you know, knowing the developers that

1496
01:06:46,199 --> 01:06:49,199
they that they're Australian and that this game takes place

1497
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:53,360
in Northern California of like a mishmash of like eighties

1498
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:55,920
and nineties stuff, it does speak to it being like

1499
01:06:56,039 --> 01:07:00,199
a fantasy, right, Yes, so I can't. I was of

1500
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:03,320
ready to be like annoyed with this game only like

1501
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:08,679
an hour or so in, and God, I was ready

1502
01:07:08,719 --> 01:07:12,639
for this to be too aggressively white. And it does

1503
01:07:13,039 --> 01:07:15,920
bear Yeah it is and and it is and there

1504
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:17,960
are parts of it that way. But if anything, my

1505
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:22,119
the the takeaway that I'm I'm running with this is that, like, okay, cool,

1506
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:25,320
these are two people or a group of developers paying

1507
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:28,000
homage to a very specific time kind of like not

1508
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:32,000
specifically nostalgia bait, but like hearkening back to a time

1509
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:35,719
that was maybe positive for them, very formative for them

1510
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:39,079
in their lives to how they are now. And if anything,

1511
01:07:39,239 --> 01:07:42,639
the takeaway that I am with this is that, like, yo,

1512
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:47,559
there is a an outlet folks at home to make

1513
01:07:47,599 --> 01:07:49,880
a game that is kind of like hearkening back to

1514
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:53,320
your own childhood. This makes me think of gosh grub,

1515
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:57,199
what was the game last year? The football game? Yes,

1516
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:04,320
dispolote uh, and it just uh further emphasizes uh that

1517
01:08:04,519 --> 01:08:07,400
video games can be a fantastic vehicle for telling a

1518
01:08:07,519 --> 01:08:11,239
story over the space of like two plus hours. And

1519
01:08:12,159 --> 01:08:14,000
I love backlar that this is a game that you

1520
01:08:14,039 --> 01:08:16,119
wanted to show to Stace of like hey, like look

1521
01:08:16,119 --> 01:08:18,039
at this, look at how they're doing this, because the

1522
01:08:18,119 --> 01:08:21,760
game is gorgeous. But for folks out there they'll want

1523
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:25,039
to explore people of color stories. I highly suggest you

1524
01:08:25,159 --> 01:08:26,680
check out Venba Venba.

1525
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:31,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Despelode if this if you're looking at this and

1526
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:33,000
side eye in it and you're like, I bet, I

1527
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:36,119
would feel like Dan Despelode is sort of an antidote

1528
01:08:36,159 --> 01:08:38,880
to this. It's it does something very similar, but in

1529
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:41,279
a way that it's like you, you are probably if

1530
01:08:41,279 --> 01:08:43,159
you're listening to this, chance are you're probably not gonna

1531
01:08:43,159 --> 01:08:46,039
relate to anything of it. And something about that makes

1532
01:08:46,119 --> 01:08:47,960
all the stuff where it's like, oh, the parts where

1533
01:08:48,119 --> 01:08:50,760
it does relate, like oh they have a mom, you

1534
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:52,600
will relate to that. You'll latch onto that stuff and

1535
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:54,239
you'll see all the emotional truth in there, and that

1536
01:08:54,279 --> 01:08:55,479
game is so good at that stuff.

1537
01:08:56,079 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 6: Someone make the mixtape for me, which is just a

1538
01:08:58,079 --> 01:09:00,640
character playing a bunch of soul caliber and watching Conan O'Brien.

1539
01:09:01,079 --> 01:09:03,560
Speaker 1: I was thinking if instead of music, what if it's

1540
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:06,439
just like teens doing a backyard wrestling league.

1541
01:09:07,159 --> 01:09:09,079
Speaker 3: That Yeah, it's pretty fun. Yeah, just like and there's

1542
01:09:09,119 --> 01:09:11,199
just one kid just doing like the sucking motion all

1543
01:09:11,279 --> 01:09:14,039
the time. Yeah, there we go. It's a button, there's

1544
01:09:14,079 --> 01:09:15,760
like a face button that's just sucking.

1545
01:09:16,159 --> 01:09:18,680
Speaker 5: Person and a crowd holding up a sign with Cartman

1546
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:23,119
on it the least people to ever live exactly.

1547
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:28,680

1550
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:41,680
But I also suggest on the Venba Despiloti train to

1552
01:09:47,399 --> 01:09:49,199

we want to talk to you about Beta Hat for

1557
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:00,920
a second. They're a market research firm and friends of

1558
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:03,800
ours whose job it is to make sure that when

1559
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:06,479
the biggest studios and publishers in the industry are making

1560
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:10,800
big decisions about a game, feature, a direction, those decisions

1561
01:10:11,079 --> 01:10:15,079
are informed by what real players actually think, not assumptions,

1562
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:18,359
not gut instinct, real feedback from real people.

1563
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:21,600

01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:32,359
opinions go directly into research that lands on the desks

1567
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:35,800
of the people making games you care about. By participating

1568
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:38,079
in these tests, not only do you get paid for

1569
01:10:38,199 --> 01:10:41,039
your time, but your voice shapes the future of games.

1570
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 1: If you've ever wanted your voice to actually matter in

1571
01:10:44,079 --> 01:10:47,760
this industry, this is how. Head to Beta hat rc

01:10:56,760 --> 01:11:01,000
you hear about Beta Hat? Thanks Beta Hat. You know,

1576
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:06,119
there's there's conversations that folks miss out on the breaks

1577
01:11:06,159 --> 01:11:10,119
in between the segments. Uh, general epiphanies. I feel like

1578
01:11:10,159 --> 01:11:13,680
we all become closer as a group during these and

1579
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:16,039
I'm sad that folks don't get to witness it. But Mike,

1580
01:11:16,319 --> 01:11:19,760
you had a realization over the little break we just had.

1581
01:11:20,119 --> 01:11:21,800
Speaker 5: Okay, I don't know he had a question. I don't

1582
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:24,039
know if he's had the realization. And the dk rap

1583
01:11:24,119 --> 01:11:27,359
I had I think I did. Uh the voice we

1584
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:29,479
ever singing? I don't know who sings the dk rap.

1585
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:33,760
The disembodied voice says, come on, cranky, take it to

1586
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:35,720
the fridge. Is what I've always heard.

1587
01:11:36,319 --> 01:11:37,000
Speaker 3: That's what he said.

1588
01:11:37,079 --> 01:11:40,159
Speaker 5: Like that is is that actually a saying.

1589
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:45,079
Speaker 2: You said, is that the first time anyone's said that

1590
01:11:45,239 --> 01:11:46,960
to take it to the fridge? You were like, yeah,

1591
01:11:47,079 --> 01:11:50,720
saying this, I was busy doing something else and I

1592
01:11:51,159 --> 01:11:54,760
double taked to be like, are you being serious right now?

1593
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:57,399
Speaker 5: Yeah? And then and you said it's bridge, and from

1594
01:11:57,399 --> 01:12:02,399
amost like, why would it be bridge? Oh, a musical bridge.

1595
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 2: So I was having the same thought yesterday, like, this

1596
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:07,760
is certainly not the first time someone said take it

1597
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:09,680
to the bridge. In a song, take it to the

1598
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:14,760
Fridge goes back to James Brown and constantly right, yeah,

1599
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:16,239
song does that?

1600
01:12:16,439 --> 01:12:20,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I heard, I've heard fridge so much. That's weird.

1601
01:12:21,039 --> 01:12:23,680
Speaker 3: Man, Mike might be the person on the planet that's

1602
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:25,039
the least like James Brown.

1603
01:12:27,279 --> 01:12:30,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, actually, you know what, Yeah, let's look it up.

1604
01:12:30,199 --> 01:12:32,119
I almost want to double down. I think he says

1605
01:12:32,239 --> 01:12:33,560
fridge because I've heard.

1606
01:12:34,119 --> 01:12:36,600
Speaker 6: They say fridge, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike in DK rap

1607
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:39,439
it's fridge. It's a silly, goofy parody rap. I'm gonna

1608
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:41,520
look up they say fridge and dk rap. But if

1609
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:43,119
you take it to the bridge. It was a frequent

1610
01:12:43,199 --> 01:12:47,159
James Ramp thing, and it's like the bridge of the song. Okay,

1611
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:50,560
I'm not hearing it, right, I'm not insanely crazy.

1612
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 5: He does say take it to the fridge, but cranky

1613
01:12:54,119 --> 01:12:56,239
take it to the fridge, and that is and then

1614
01:12:56,279 --> 01:13:00,239
they talk about all the it's a food, got the

1615
01:13:00,239 --> 01:13:02,199
word for food for a second there, talk.

1616
01:13:02,039 --> 01:13:02,399
Speaker 3: About the.

1617
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:08,279
Speaker 5: Okay, this games baby breaking my brain?

1618
01:13:08,399 --> 01:13:08,720
Speaker 3: All right.

1619
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:12,199
Speaker 5: So he does say fridge, and it's a play on

1620
01:13:12,319 --> 01:13:16,439
people saying take it to the bridge. Yes, I've got

1621
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:19,600
it all figured out. Now you learn.

1622
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:20,239
Speaker 3: That's good.

1623
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:22,520
Speaker 5: This COG's one hell of a guy.

1624
01:13:23,239 --> 01:13:26,000
Speaker 4: You were walking around thinking, uh, take it to the

1625
01:13:26,079 --> 01:13:28,600
fridge was like a thing people said in songs everywhere.

1626
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 5: I take it to the fridge.

1627
01:13:31,199 --> 01:13:32,920
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you do with your groceries when

1628
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:35,880
you come back from the store, Come on the fridge.

1629
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:37,600
Speaker 5: I take it to the pantry because I don't have

1630
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:39,319
too many. I know that, all right?

1631
01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:43,199
Speaker 6: Well, I also living in the fridge by weird now

1632
01:13:43,279 --> 01:13:44,199
you're probably familiar with.

1633
01:13:44,239 --> 01:13:46,079
Speaker 3: It's actually based on living on the edge.

1634
01:13:46,199 --> 01:13:48,880
Speaker 5: Everywhere with that, and so I'm out here. Every time

1635
01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:51,680
I try to watch Cowboy Bebop on Adult Swim, it

1636
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:54,479
was always the fridge episode every time I try.

1637
01:13:54,319 --> 01:13:54,720
Speaker 3: To watch it.

1638
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,960
Speaker 1: Okay, everything you need the rest of these you need

1639
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:00,920
the rest For folks that have like watched a lot

1640
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,800
of GB stuff. I think a constant question I asked

1641
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:05,680
guests is do you think we could beat the Harlem

1642
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:07,840
Globetrotters just two Harlem Globetrotters?

1643
01:14:08,359 --> 01:14:08,479
Speaker 5: Uh?

1644
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:15,520
Speaker 3: And I think what versus two? But here's the one

1645
01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:18,720
would be toast. Here's the thing I think I've highlighted.

1646
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:22,319
Speaker 1: One of the issues is because Mike rejects any type

1647
01:14:22,359 --> 01:14:24,800
of yes and including an alley oop.

1648
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:28,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, I want to do that thing that you could

1649
01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:30,600
do an NBA street where you just bounce it off

1650
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:31,680
the board to yourself.

1651
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:36,239
Speaker 3: Right, Yes, dinner serves it's funny, but Mike's like, I think,

1652
01:14:36,279 --> 01:14:37,800
but no, it is so much funnier. It's like, of

1653
01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:39,279
course you do the joke ins with you.

1654
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:43,560
Speaker 5: That's the whole point that James Bond's parent. Oh ideas

1655
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:46,000
everyone gets to have fun and you don't like that.

1656
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:48,880
You know how much food I just put in all

1657
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:51,920
your families last night and this is the thanks.

1658
01:14:55,359 --> 01:15:00,039
Speaker 3: Again. Mike's making it about himself, I think some and

1659
01:15:00,119 --> 01:15:01,840
has a little bit of main character syndrome.

1660
01:15:03,359 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 5: A Reddit commenters are all black. Oh there's other options, eh.

1661
01:15:14,399 --> 01:15:15,640
Speaker 3: Anyways, the news.

1662
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:22,279
Speaker 5: Our shirts come and Christis are all palate, and I

1663
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:23,920
take them all responsibly.

1664
01:15:24,079 --> 01:15:28,520
Speaker 3: Thank you, Mikey. Guys, just stay off the reddit. This

1665
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:30,800
one was not his fault. I brought this one to

1666
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:33,000
his attention. He's innocent.

1667
01:15:33,079 --> 01:15:37,600
Speaker 2: Here eBay rejects game stops fifty six billion dollar takeover.

1668
01:15:38,039 --> 01:15:38,760
Speaker 3: What do you mean?

1669
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:39,720
Speaker 1: Uh?

1670
01:15:40,199 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 2: The they basically they weren't even being nice. You know,

1671
01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:45,920
the Times were like they're gonna gat those couches nice language.

1672
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:50,359
They just said, this offer is neither credible nor attractive.

1673
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:54,119
You're just like you were just nothing in credible. Yeah,

1674
01:15:54,159 --> 01:15:57,159
you're fugly. Get out of here. Uh, this is just

1675
01:15:57,319 --> 01:15:59,560
this is what happens when someone in charge of a

1676
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:02,439
memes doc is like, I'm gonna go do real business,

1677
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:05,760
and the other real businesses are like, what get out

1678
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:08,039
of here? Teenager? Peppley teenager trying to get a loan

1679
01:16:08,119 --> 01:16:10,079
at the bank for their nut punching machine, Like, what.

1680
01:16:10,079 --> 01:16:10,720
Speaker 3: Are you talking about?

1681
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:11,520
Speaker 5: How did you get in here?

1682
01:16:12,119 --> 01:16:16,159
Speaker 3: How'd you get here? I mean literally, that's the energy

1683
01:16:16,199 --> 01:16:19,800
they have here is who lets you here? From the

1684
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:23,920
GI vault too? This is the same guy. Ryan Cohen's

1685
01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:24,439
a piece of ship.

1686
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:26,920
Speaker 2: He is a piece of he was, so, Yeah, he

1687
01:16:27,039 --> 01:16:29,880
stole stuff for his own collection and then was selling

1688
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:32,119
it to pay for this, which.

1689
01:16:32,039 --> 01:16:34,239
Speaker 3: Which has been reported accurately.

1690
01:16:34,359 --> 01:16:36,039
Speaker 6: A lot of the stuff in that vault was from

1691
01:16:36,199 --> 01:16:38,159
Gi out of there's personal collections that we just wanted

1692
01:16:38,199 --> 01:16:40,000
to have a piece of history and be as full

1693
01:16:40,039 --> 01:16:40,600
as possible.

1694
01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:43,159
Speaker 3: So he gives a bad person. Yeah, even if it

1695
01:16:43,279 --> 01:16:45,680
wasn't it belonged to Game Informer. It's not yours. Get

1696
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:46,119
out of here.

1697
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:51,079
Speaker 2: Yes, just absolute trash behavior from a trash person. And

1698
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:53,880
he's kind of getting laughed out of school here a

1699
01:16:53,960 --> 01:16:56,960
little bit that. Not much else to this at this point.

1700
01:16:57,119 --> 01:16:58,840
This is kind of where this This was always gonna

1701
01:16:59,159 --> 01:17:00,880
end up. We talked about it last week. It was

1702
01:17:01,039 --> 01:17:04,720
just a half stack, half stock, half cash offer fifty

1703
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:07,119
six million dollars. When he was asked, asked like where

1704
01:17:07,159 --> 01:17:09,119
the rest of the money would come from, because like

1705
01:17:09,199 --> 01:17:12,039
the Matthew was presenting didn't add up. He didn't have

1706
01:17:12,159 --> 01:17:15,239
any answers in a TV interview. And the funniest part

1707
01:17:15,279 --> 01:17:18,239
of it was apparently Michael Burry, who was a Game

1708
01:17:18,279 --> 01:17:20,119
Stop investor because he's like, I could see where the

1709
01:17:20,159 --> 01:17:23,359
meme stock is going, was watching and immediately sold all

1710
01:17:23,399 --> 01:17:27,199
of his game stop stock, and the when he wrote

1711
01:17:27,199 --> 01:17:29,520
a newsletter about that, the stock price.

1712
01:17:29,359 --> 01:17:32,479
Speaker 3: Dropped like ten percent instantly. That's the.

1713
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:37,680
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, Michael Burry being the guy who was played

1714
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:40,840
by Christian Bale in the Big Short movie.

1715
01:17:41,079 --> 01:17:43,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh, the drummer. Okay, that's the drummer.

1716
01:17:43,239 --> 01:17:43,399
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1717
01:17:43,399 --> 01:17:46,920
Speaker 5: All right, Well, not all bad news out there, I guess. Yep, exactly,

1718
01:17:47,279 --> 01:17:47,800
all right.

1719
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:51,520
Speaker 2: So more stuff is happening elsewhere. Sega cancels It's super game.

1720
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:55,880
Remember that one guys. Sega confirmed the cancelation of its

1721
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:59,159
big budget super game initiative, which at one point they

1722
01:17:59,239 --> 01:18:02,079
talked about having spent something around eight hundred and eighty

1723
01:18:02,119 --> 01:18:04,000
two million dollars to make, or that's what that was

1724
01:18:04,039 --> 01:18:06,000
the plan. They were going to spend eight hundred and

1725
01:18:06,039 --> 01:18:08,880
eighty two million dollars. This is them just saying, hey,

1726
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:11,359
we are shifting away from this idea of the future

1727
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:14,199
is big live service, triple A games that cost a

1728
01:18:14,239 --> 01:18:15,039
ton of money to make.

1729
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:17,159
Speaker 5: And it's like a little late to the party there,

1730
01:18:17,199 --> 01:18:18,760
But you're right, that's probably correct.

1731
01:18:19,079 --> 01:18:22,840
Speaker 2: They are basically saying that while they're full game sales

1732
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:25,199
right now, they have full game premium price games. There's

1733
01:18:25,319 --> 01:18:27,960
the sales for those, the revenue down about twelve percent

1734
01:18:28,039 --> 01:18:30,800
year over year. They're saying that's because we got distracted.

1735
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:33,720
We're going all in on that stuff with like smaller,

1736
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:36,560
more targeted games. We're just gonna make games to.

1737
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:37,239
Speaker 3: Sell to people.

1738
01:18:37,399 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 2: That's the new strategy. So my memory was the super

1739
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:44,520
Game was some combination of Crazy Taxi and Jet Grind Radio.

1740
01:18:44,840 --> 01:18:47,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, apparently that's not what this was.

1741
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:53,239
Speaker 2: This was some other thing and Jet Grind Radio, Crazy Taxi,

1742
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:55,960
a bunch of other games are still on their slate

1743
01:18:56,079 --> 01:18:57,720
as coming separate from this.

1744
01:18:58,199 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 3: So that is or is it?

1745
01:19:00,159 --> 01:19:03,359
Speaker 5: Like? Because I always thought they were positioning those as

1746
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:06,720
part of this initiative, and maybe they're like, well, that's stupid.

1747
01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:10,079
Why would we make eight hundred million dollar budget crazy

1748
01:19:10,239 --> 01:19:12,600
taxi game that's a live surface. Let's just make a

1749
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:13,640
crazy Taxi game.

1750
01:19:14,039 --> 01:19:15,960
Speaker 2: I think that that's where I was as well. I

1751
01:19:16,039 --> 01:19:17,800
think you might still be right. The point The problem

1752
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:20,640
here is it was never very clear. It was always

1753
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:23,479
vague what Super Game meant, and they did not clarify

1754
01:19:23,479 --> 01:19:25,159
it here. This was just sort of a line item

1755
01:19:25,199 --> 01:19:26,600
of them being like, we're moving on from this, don't

1756
01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:27,920
worry about it, and I remember there was.

1757
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:30,479
Speaker 6: Like a weird like SGF or Game Awards trailer or

1758
01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:31,960
something where it was like showing a bunch of people

1759
01:19:32,079 --> 01:19:34,279
like playing in the background you would see like crazy

1760
01:19:34,359 --> 01:19:37,239
Taxi five games and yeah, yeah, so it's a great.

1761
01:19:37,279 --> 01:19:39,319
Yeah are these all separate games? Is this the their

1762
01:19:39,359 --> 01:19:39,840
super game?

1763
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:41,840
Speaker 2: Like it's very very confusing, Right, So that was a

1764
01:19:42,039 --> 01:19:44,479
crazy Taxi, Golden Axe, jet Set Radio, I said, I

1765
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:47,319
think of sandret Grind Radio, jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage,

1766
01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:48,920
and then Shanobi.

1767
01:19:49,039 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 3: Shanoby did come out.

1768
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:53,199
Speaker 2: Uh, these other four are still listed as coming, as

1769
01:19:53,239 --> 01:19:57,319
well as that Virtual Fighter, Project, Persona for Revival, Total War,

1770
01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:00,960
Medieval Three, Warhammer forty forty K, Stranger than Heaven, and

1771
01:20:01,079 --> 01:20:03,800
Alien Isolation. So they listed all these it's still coming.

1772
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:06,359
None of those have been scrapped alongside this thing. That's

1773
01:20:06,399 --> 01:20:09,039
a nice That looks like a pretty good lineup to me.

1774
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:11,840
That Shanobe game was great. If more of these retro

1775
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:16,880
revivals are of a similar quality, that's fantastic. I bet

1776
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:19,720
we're gonna hear about a new biggest Sonic game soon. Right,

1777
01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:23,520
It's been a while now since Frontier. We had Superstars

1778
01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:25,800
in the racing game. After that, it's probably time for

1779
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:26,399
the next.

1780
01:20:26,439 --> 01:20:27,239
Speaker 3: Three D one.

1781
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:30,640
Speaker 5: So yeah, I think you should just make video games.

1782
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:33,319
Speaker 3: Shanoby should be the blueprint.

1783
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:35,359
Speaker 6: Like, hey, he just made a game that's kind of

1784
01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:39,079
like in the style or inspiration of Schanoby, but it's

1785
01:20:39,119 --> 01:20:41,760
not like slavish to the way it played or looked.

1786
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:44,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it just kicked ass. I forget. Was that

1787
01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:47,880
internal Sega or do they just they worked with lizard

1788
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:50,119
Cube on it, but you know, they published it and

1789
01:20:50,399 --> 01:20:50,640
it was.

1790
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:52,760
Speaker 2: More internal than the extruets of Rage four, which is

1791
01:20:52,840 --> 01:20:55,199
a similar concept, but they like kind of let someone

1792
01:20:55,239 --> 01:20:56,600
else take all that, yeah.

1793
01:20:56,520 --> 01:20:58,680
Speaker 3: Exactly, and they let someone else handle all the business there,

1794
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:00,279
all right.

1795
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:03,800
Speaker 2: Nintendo is trying to soften the switch to price hike,

1796
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:06,920
which is also was announced in the last week. So

1797
01:21:07,359 --> 01:21:09,319
it's going from four hundred and fifty dollars to five

1798
01:21:09,399 --> 01:21:11,119
hundred dollars on September first.

1799
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:14,079
Speaker 3: In most of the world. It's going to go up

1800
01:21:14,159 --> 01:21:14,720
in price like.

1801
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:17,680
Speaker 2: One hundred or the equivalent of one hundred dollars ish

1802
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:20,720
in Japan sooner than that, I think by the end

1803
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:25,479
of May. But as part of their apology here for

1804
01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:29,520
softening the blow, they're immediately announcing that, even before the

1805
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:32,520
price hike ticks effect, they're going to sell a five

1806
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:35,439
hundred dollars bundle that has a pick your own game

1807
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:39,560
sort of digital copy of either Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong, Bonanza,

1808
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:41,920
or Pacopia. Oh, and that kind of felt like, oh,

1809
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:44,319
that was always the strategy of having that five hundred

1810
01:21:44,359 --> 01:21:47,279
dollars bundle thing with Mario Kart, that could always transform

1811
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:48,199
into something else.

1812
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:50,520
Speaker 3: Here it is they're raising the price, but now you

1813
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:51,359
get a game at.

1814
01:21:51,279 --> 01:21:54,319
Speaker 2: The five hundred dollars price point alongside it still, so

1815
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:56,800
it's like not that different than what it once was.

1816
01:21:57,359 --> 01:21:59,199
This is going to be well timed though, because we

1817
01:21:59,239 --> 01:22:02,079
saw what the PlayStation five price increase. There was a

1818
01:22:02,119 --> 01:22:04,359
couple of days before that took effect, and even after

1819
01:22:04,399 --> 01:22:07,079
it took effect, the previous stock was still selling. For

1820
01:22:07,159 --> 01:22:10,760
the original MSRP, people rushed out and got those and

1821
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:13,399
gobbled them all up very quickly, to the point where

1822
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:17,079
PlayStation saw a significant increase in sales that week. There

1823
01:22:17,159 --> 01:22:20,359
is a long time now between now and September first, really,

1824
01:22:21,159 --> 01:22:23,359
and so the switch is probably going to sell very

1825
01:22:23,399 --> 01:22:26,720
well between now and then, and being able to get

1826
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:29,760
Pacopia or Donkey Kong Bonanza with it is certainly going

1827
01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:30,720
to move those things.

1828
01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:33,840
Speaker 3: I think Pacopia is gonna move that shit like hotcakes.

1829
01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:35,039
I think so too.

1830
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 2: Yes, I think people have certainly been weighing. A lot

1831
01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:39,760
of people couldn't wait because they were so excited about it. Well,

1832
01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:42,520
now if you did wait, you can save a little

1833
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:44,760
bit of money because you previously you were spending four

1834
01:22:44,840 --> 01:22:47,439
hundred and fifty dollars for the system or five hundred

1835
01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:49,479
dollars to get Mario Kart with it that if you

1836
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:51,520
could still find that bundle athough that bundle is off

1837
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:55,239
and on. Now you go, okay, I'll save twenty thirty

1838
01:22:55,239 --> 01:22:57,359
bucks by getting this five hundred dollars bundle with the

1839
01:22:57,399 --> 01:23:00,399
game included, and that will encourage people to make those moves.

1840
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:04,239
You know, question is after the price goes up, like,

1841
01:23:04,359 --> 01:23:06,600
what is the demand for switch to after that? It's

1842
01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:09,960
it's a pretty hot item still right now, and it

1843
01:23:10,079 --> 01:23:12,439
does not have Grand Theft Auto six waiting for it

1844
01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:15,159
in the way that PlayStation does on the other side

1845
01:23:15,159 --> 01:23:16,159
of its price increases.

1846
01:23:16,399 --> 01:23:18,720
Speaker 1: I think some of the I was gonna say, I

1847
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:21,800
think some of these games maybe like a slow burn

1848
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:24,359
for people like a lot of people assume that Tomadocci

1849
01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:27,439
Life Living the Dream is a switch to title, but

1850
01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:29,399
it's just a switch one game.

1851
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,760
Speaker 2: They did that was part of this financial report recently

1852
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:34,920
they did point out it's sold three point eight million copies.

1853
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:37,760
This is Tomadacci Life Living the dreamt of which we're

1854
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:40,640
on switch to. So it is, you know, our forty

1855
01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:42,399
percent of people bought it to play on switch To.

1856
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:43,399
I guess it's the way to say that.

1857
01:23:44,039 --> 01:23:45,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's like it's moving things over there a

1858
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:46,079
little bit.

1859
01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:48,399
Speaker 5: I do wonder, like, you know, what, what do they

1860
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:50,760
think are the fall games that can maybe up push

1861
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:52,680
things or maybe not if they are you know, projecting

1862
01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:53,359
this slow down.

1863
01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:54,439
Speaker 3: I mean oker Ena of Time.

1864
01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:56,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, they are a time is Yeah, And that seems

1865
01:23:57,000 --> 01:23:59,520
like what if that's like the biggest one. It could

1866
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:02,720
be Uker Time remake depending on how hard they go on,

1867
01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:05,039
that could be a very big deal.

1868
01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:07,840
Speaker 1: Is the upcoming Yoshi game and I don't think that's

1869
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:09,560
going to be a system seller? But does that switch

1870
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:10,760
to only believe.

1871
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:11,079
Speaker 3: Switch Too Only?

1872
01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:14,840
Speaker 2: I think the only upcoming app now that Tomodachi Life

1873
01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:17,039
is out, I think it's just Rhythm Heaven Groove I

1874
01:24:17,079 --> 01:24:18,960
could be wrong, but I think it's just Rhythm Heaven.

1875
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:20,000
Speaker 3: Groove that it's a switch one.

1876
01:24:20,279 --> 01:24:21,399
Speaker 5: That sounds right to me.

1877
01:24:22,159 --> 01:24:25,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, they they're getting ready to move on,

1878
01:24:25,199 --> 01:24:26,680
and I think they are seeing that when they put

1879
01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:28,560
out games that are switched to only, it is making

1880
01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:29,479
a big difference for them.

1881
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:31,640
Speaker 3: So they were talking about supporting the switch one for

1882
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:32,199
a long time.

1883
01:24:32,279 --> 01:24:35,640
Speaker 2: That is probably gonna lighten up here soon. And one

1884
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:37,640
game that is going to be switched to only is

1885
01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:41,479
Starfox just called star Fox. It is a remake of

1886
01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:45,279
Star Fox sixty four once again. It is coming June twenty.

1887
01:24:45,079 --> 01:24:48,920
Speaker 3: Fifth, so very soon. It is priced pretty friendly fifty

1888
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:51,960
dollars physical or digital sixty dollars physical. I think.

1889
01:24:52,199 --> 01:24:55,039
Speaker 2: So it's continuing that trend from Nintendo, which we can

1890
01:24:55,039 --> 01:24:56,720
talk about it if you guys want. That feels like

1891
01:24:56,760 --> 01:24:57,960
it's a temporary reprieve.

1892
01:24:58,000 --> 01:24:58,760
Speaker 3: Eventually it's like.

1893
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:02,439
Speaker 2: Seventy dollars digital and eighty dollars physical and then ninety

1894
01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:04,479
dollars physical. But we'll see it's not. We're not here

1895
01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:08,680
yet with that thing. The Star Fox game looks really

1896
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:11,520
good in gameplay, the character models. I have people sort

1897
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:13,279
of like saying some stuff but I think it looks

1898
01:25:13,279 --> 01:25:17,279
pretty good. It has a VTuber mode you can play

1899
01:25:17,359 --> 01:25:20,239
at the mouse. Oh yeah, what multiplayer's a little bit

1900
01:25:20,279 --> 01:25:22,800
expanded where it's four v four online instead of just

1901
01:25:22,880 --> 01:25:25,199
like four player free for all. So that's you know, updated,

1902
01:25:25,239 --> 01:25:28,279
a little bit more modernized. There is some cool stuff here,

1903
01:25:29,159 --> 01:25:30,960
and I also think this is setting the table for

1904
01:25:31,119 --> 01:25:34,119
more Starfocks in the future. How do you guys all

1905
01:25:34,399 --> 01:25:35,920
you know that we've had some time to digest this

1906
01:25:36,159 --> 01:25:37,520
end up feeling about Starfox.

1907
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:39,520
Speaker 3: I thought it looked awesome. I think, like I mean,

1908
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:41,720
I've said forever about star Fox, like they had two

1909
01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:44,800
good games, then it's all been like not even diminishing returns.

1910
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:48,119
Speaker 6: It's been a lot of like weird side like they've

1911
01:25:48,159 --> 01:25:50,600
tried to change it more than they needed to and

1912
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:52,680
then remix good remix of sixty four.

1913
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:54,319
Speaker 3: You know, they had that great one on three DS.

1914
01:25:54,399 --> 01:25:57,640
Speaker 6: Starfux zero not my favorite, but I have no problem

1915
01:25:57,680 --> 01:25:58,880
with them going back to the well again with this

1916
01:25:58,960 --> 01:26:02,119
because it's the best one by far, and they've shown

1917
01:26:02,159 --> 01:26:03,760
they don't really know what to do with the series

1918
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:05,920
outside of remaking this one very good game.

1919
01:26:06,159 --> 01:26:09,760
Speaker 5: And I'm someone who I like Starfux zero. I like

1920
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:12,039
a salt, I like some of those offshoot sixty four

1921
01:26:12,119 --> 01:26:16,079
is definitely so the best one. It's incredibly safe to

1922
01:26:16,199 --> 01:26:19,399
just remake that game again. Done. It's the same thing

1923
01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:22,079
they could have done, Like they could have at least

1924
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:25,720
just made a game like Starfux sixty four, right, that

1925
01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:28,560
just plays like that. But I still I can't get

1926
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:30,960
too upset about because I really like Star Fucks sixty

1927
01:26:31,039 --> 01:26:33,479
four and this remake does look really good. I like

1928
01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:36,079
the way the characters look. I like that they're adding

1929
01:26:36,199 --> 01:26:38,279
in things like more cut scenes, is a little bit

1930
01:26:38,319 --> 01:26:41,199
more character. Some of the redesigns, like Cat, that's a

1931
01:26:41,239 --> 01:26:43,760
great redesign. She looks good. I don't know why I

1932
01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:47,079
marked out so much. When Bill showed up, I'm like, hell, yeah, Bill,

1933
01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:48,560
that's my guy.

1934
01:26:49,079 --> 01:26:49,880
Speaker 3: Which one is Bill?

1935
01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:52,039
Speaker 5: Bill's just like the dude who shows up with that

1936
01:26:52,079 --> 01:26:54,000
one vision that's kind of like Independence Day.

1937
01:26:54,199 --> 01:26:55,000
Speaker 3: That's a great mission.

1938
01:26:55,199 --> 01:26:56,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love that one.

1939
01:26:56,319 --> 01:26:56,439
Speaker 3: Right.

1940
01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:59,399
Speaker 5: God, this is just such a fun game with all

1941
01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:02,359
the different routes, And you know, you played the first time,

1942
01:27:02,359 --> 01:27:05,039
you probably just get a normal ending. Then you play

1943
01:27:05,039 --> 01:27:06,720
it again and you realize, if I do this, I

1944
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:08,720
go over here and it's a little bit harder now

1945
01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:10,640
I'm getting this six secret ending and all of a sudden,

1946
01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:13,960
I'm in a submarine all that fun stuff. I wonder

1947
01:27:14,319 --> 01:27:16,880
how kind of new people are gonna feel about. Oh

1948
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:18,520
I did a play through this game and that only

1949
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:19,560
took fifteen minutes.

1950
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:20,479
Speaker 3: What did I just buy?

1951
01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:23,399
Speaker 5: If they're going to sort of understand what's going here.

1952
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:26,279
I'm curious about that challenge mode. How much replay value

1953
01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:29,600
that is going to add on top of it. Yeah,

1954
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:32,239
it's nice to see Star Fucks back. It has been

1955
01:27:32,279 --> 01:27:34,560
a while. There's a bit that we're worried, like maybe

1956
01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:37,399
they're just done with Starfucks. No, most of these series

1957
01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:40,439
do find a way to eventually return, and this seems

1958
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:43,920
like a pretty good way to reintroduce Star Fucks Grab.

1959
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:45,880
You see, people don't want to fuck star Fox anymore.

1960
01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:49,279
Speaker 2: There's questions among the furry community about whether or not

1961
01:27:49,359 --> 01:27:51,760
these characters are fuckable, and I've been I've been asking them,

1962

Speaker 3: I don't like it.

Speaker 5: Of course. By the way, that one back, Yeah, I

1995
01:29:38,159 --> 01:29:42,880
played a ship one tenth of your super game budget

that you don't need more make a new pants drag goon.

1997
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:49,680

01:29:54,920 --> 01:29:57,560
long ago and it was so mid If anyone takes

2001
01:29:57,640 --> 01:29:59,880
any lesson away from this podcast today, don't let a

2002
01:30:00,239 --> 01:30:02,079
people do anything that's right.

2003
01:30:02,159 --> 01:30:03,039
Speaker 3: That's what we're trying to say.

2004
01:30:03,159 --> 01:30:05,199
Speaker 4: You said it, You said it, not me.

2005
01:30:05,840 --> 01:30:06,039
Speaker 5: Yeah.

2006
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:09,920
Speaker 2: The YouTuber thing you can just use, like across the

2007
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:12,239
board you have to be in the games. You can

2008
01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:14,880
like just they turn it on and then talk to

2009
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:17,279
your friends while they play other games using game chat,

2010
01:30:17,359 --> 01:30:18,279
which is just dominic.

2011
01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:21,880
Speaker 3: I love it. It's okay release week. Can we do

2012
01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:22,920
the whole BombCast like that?

2013
01:30:23,279 --> 01:30:25,279
Speaker 2: That's what everyone's asking for, and I think we're probably

2014
01:30:25,359 --> 01:30:26,600
gonna think we should probably do.

2015
01:30:26,640 --> 01:30:29,119
Speaker 5: That because it's the four Star Fucks people and the

2016
01:30:29,199 --> 01:30:32,239
four Star Wolf people too, So somebody could be Pigma.

Speaker 2: Nintendo veteran Takashi Testica is retiring from his executive officer

2034
01:31:32,359 --> 01:31:36,039
role on June twenty sixth. Tessica directed or helped shape

2035
01:31:36,119 --> 01:31:41,319
foundational Nintendo games, including Super Mario Brothers, The Legend of Zelda,

2036
01:31:41,399 --> 01:31:44,640
Super Mario World, A Link to the Past, and Yoshi's Island,

2037
01:31:45,079 --> 01:31:48,039
and was most recently producer on Super Mario Brothers Wonder

2038
01:31:48,359 --> 01:31:50,279
He is one of those people who's like, oh, there

2039
01:31:50,279 --> 01:31:53,079
are like five names on Super Mario Brothers that ended

2040
01:31:53,159 --> 01:31:55,640
up like four of the five names down Super Mario Brothers.

2041
01:31:55,720 --> 01:31:59,640
Ended up working on Super Mario Brothers. Wonder he's just

2042
01:31:59,680 --> 01:32:01,880
been there forever. Is always one of those guys that

2043
01:32:02,039 --> 01:32:04,560
really made the games incredible. He's worked on so many

2044
01:32:04,600 --> 01:32:07,000
of my favorite games. This is part of a recent

2045
01:32:07,239 --> 01:32:11,640
changing of the guard at Nintendo. You know, Decki Kano

2046
01:32:11,760 --> 01:32:16,119
recently retired, Tanabe recently retired, Miamoto is still there as

2047
01:32:16,159 --> 01:32:19,479
an executive fellow, and that means like he can kind

2048
01:32:19,479 --> 01:32:21,520
of like do what he wants because he's Miamoto, and

2049
01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:23,560
that means he's working on movies and theme parks and

2050
01:32:23,560 --> 01:32:27,279
stuff like that. But yeah, this is these guys are

2051
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:30,960
turning sixty five retirement age and they are retiring, and it's,

2052
01:32:31,720 --> 01:32:34,439
oh yeah, my entire life has been playing this guy's games,

2053
01:32:34,520 --> 01:32:36,439
and now he's done, and it kind of won't just

2054
01:32:36,479 --> 01:32:38,800
be like good for him, you really earned it and

2055
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:43,920
like just applaud Yeah, yeah, well done. Sony forecast PS

2056
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:48,359
five gaming sales decline amid price in supply challenges. Nintendo

2057
01:32:48,439 --> 01:32:51,000
was saying, it's kind of something similar. You know, Nintendo

2058
01:32:51,079 --> 01:32:53,600
was so sold like twenty million up switch tows in

2059
01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:55,640
its first year. They're now they're saying sixteen million for

2060
01:32:55,760 --> 01:32:56,640
this for the second year.

2061
01:32:56,720 --> 01:32:57,319
Speaker 3: That's a little.

2062
01:32:57,159 --> 01:32:59,239
Speaker 2: Abnormal, but they had so many in the year one,

2063
01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:01,560
that's like, yeah, you can expect some decline there, and

2064
01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:04,359
then there's the price increase on top of that PlayStation

2065
01:33:04,479 --> 01:33:07,359
seeing something similar even though it's much deeper into its generation.

2066
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:11,399
Sony issued a forward looking forecast showing a roughly six

2067
01:33:11,479 --> 01:33:14,439
percent decline in annual gaming sales this PS five hardware

2068
01:33:14,479 --> 01:33:18,840
demand falls largely tied to memory price surges, supply issues,

2069
01:33:19,079 --> 01:33:22,239
and recent price hikes, including a one hundred dollars increase

2070
01:33:22,279 --> 01:33:24,920
in the United States and higher prices in other regions.

2071
01:33:25,880 --> 01:33:28,640
The PS five shipments did cross six or ninety three

2072
01:33:28,720 --> 01:33:31,840
point seven million units. The quarterly shipments were down, like

2073
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:34,359
they were way down. They sold something like one and

2074
01:33:34,399 --> 01:33:37,439
a half million PlayStation fives in the last quarter, and

2075
01:33:37,560 --> 01:33:41,439
that is abnormally low for this period in the generation.

2076
01:33:42,239 --> 01:33:44,840
And everyone's like, yeah, the price went up. This is

2077
01:33:44,880 --> 01:33:48,039
before the price went up. This is from before there

2078
01:33:48,119 --> 01:33:52,439
was a surge with the price hike expectations. So like

2079
01:33:52,479 --> 01:33:54,239
everyone's Okay, we're going to see a surge in that

2080
01:33:54,359 --> 01:33:57,840
moment where the price hike did happen, and so that'll

2081
01:33:57,920 --> 01:33:59,680
kind of offset things a little bit. But on the

2082
01:33:59,760 --> 01:34:02,399
other side of that price hike, is it going to

2083
01:34:02,439 --> 01:34:04,479
be even worse than this one and a half million

2084
01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:07,760
PS five sold? It's like, yes, until GTA six comes out.

2085
01:34:08,079 --> 01:34:10,680
And again that's what everyone's counting on. That is like

2086
01:34:10,760 --> 01:34:13,439
the subtext almost every story we read on this show.

2087
01:34:13,960 --> 01:34:16,439
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, do you guys hear people excited

2088
01:34:16,439 --> 01:34:18,600
about PS five's that don't have one? I don't know.

2089
01:34:18,800 --> 01:34:21,039
Speaker 4: No, I just don't know anyone who like has yet

2090
01:34:21,119 --> 01:34:24,960
to make a purchase decision about a console lately.

2091
01:34:25,399 --> 01:34:27,079
Speaker 3: I feel like last time there was a big move

2092
01:34:27,159 --> 01:34:28,800
was when like college football came back.

2093
01:34:29,199 --> 01:34:29,600
Speaker 5: That was it.

2094
01:34:30,119 --> 01:34:34,720
Speaker 4: So are you describing the the race to secure a

2095
01:34:34,840 --> 01:34:38,079
console before the price increase? Is that that's what you're describing?

2096
01:34:38,319 --> 01:34:40,279
Speaker 2: Yes, right, there was that moment there, So they're like,

2097
01:34:40,640 --> 01:34:43,239
this one one and a half million PlayStation five sold

2098
01:34:43,319 --> 01:34:44,800
last quarter is before any of that.

2099
01:34:45,239 --> 01:34:45,359
Speaker 8: Right.

2100
01:34:45,640 --> 01:34:48,920
Speaker 2: Then, in the week that the price to hike was announced,

2101
01:34:49,239 --> 01:34:51,239
leading into the price hike happening in a week later,

2102
01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:53,439
they sold just about every PS five that was on

2103
01:34:53,520 --> 01:34:56,840
the on shelves, including PS five pros at the original price,

2104
01:34:57,279 --> 01:35:00,399
and there was reporting from like mapis Catel and a

2105
01:35:00,439 --> 01:35:03,680
bunch of international reporting agencies of like oh, PlayStation five

2106
01:35:03,720 --> 01:35:06,239
had a massive week. It's like, yeah, okay, now that

2107
01:35:06,279 --> 01:35:08,000
we're on the other side of that and people are

2108
01:35:08,119 --> 01:35:11,439
seeing the higher prices at retail, what do we expect

2109
01:35:11,479 --> 01:35:13,640
at that point? And that's the unknown here other than

2110
01:35:13,720 --> 01:35:17,279
a lot of these companies are saying expect diminishing sales

2111
01:35:17,359 --> 01:35:19,520
going forward because the demand's going to be lower because

2112
01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:20,439
the price is higher.

2113
01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:22,600
Speaker 4: They should raise it again.

2114
01:35:24,239 --> 01:35:25,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, that wull get people moving.

2115
01:35:27,119 --> 01:35:29,880
Speaker 2: To say that their price increases does not cover their costs.

2116
01:35:30,399 --> 01:35:32,960
Say like, this does not fully cover the increasing costs

2117
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:35,720
that we're facing. Yes, that's what they told investors, and

2118
01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:37,880
they're not allowed to allow to investors like that. They

2119
01:35:37,920 --> 01:35:40,319
so they set it right to their face. It's like, yeah,

2120
01:35:40,479 --> 01:35:43,159
I believe it too. I mean, fifty dollars increase is

2121
01:35:43,239 --> 01:35:45,119
probably not going to cover the how much more they're.

2122
01:35:44,920 --> 01:35:47,560
Speaker 4: So they're still they're selling each one at a loss.

2123
01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:51,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if they said that explicitly, but it's

2124
01:35:51,560 --> 01:35:54,439
like they're they're certainly not making the margins they once were,

2125
01:35:54,760 --> 01:35:57,439
and this does not restore their margins to what it

2126
01:35:57,600 --> 01:35:59,359
was when they were like or what they were expecting.

2127
01:35:59,800 --> 01:36:01,720
That could mean they are selling for a loss. Yes,

2128
01:36:01,760 --> 01:36:03,319
that could mean that, but we don't know that for sure.

2129
01:36:03,800 --> 01:36:06,319
Speaker 3: Gotcha all right?

2130
01:36:06,720 --> 01:36:10,640
Speaker 2: Forts the Horizon six leaked early, and Playground Games is

2131
01:36:10,720 --> 01:36:13,840
threatening hardware bands for anyone who's playing it early. The

2132
01:36:13,920 --> 01:36:16,960
PC version of Forts Horizon six leaked online. When we

2133
01:36:17,039 --> 01:36:20,000
talked about this on Game mess Mornings, it was like,

2134
01:36:20,079 --> 01:36:22,239
I don't know, people were saying that this was hacked

2135
01:36:22,279 --> 01:36:25,640
from some unencrypted upload on Steam and people got into

2136
01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:28,960
Steam database and got stuff that way, and that sounded

2137
01:36:29,079 --> 01:36:31,199
very strange to me, but that's what everyone was saying.

2138
01:36:31,439 --> 01:36:34,920
And now it's like, no, Valve and Playground Games and

2139
01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:37,600
Microsoft are all saying someone who had the game early

2140
01:36:37,760 --> 01:36:40,680
uploaded a copy, oh and they cracked that. And it's like, oh,

2141
01:36:40,760 --> 01:36:43,399
and you know who knows it could be a reviewer,

2142
01:36:43,479 --> 01:36:46,079
It's probably an influencer. That's my bias there, but I'm

2143
01:36:46,079 --> 01:36:49,560
gonna say it probably is. And yeah, the game's out

2144
01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:51,399
there and people could just get it now. It is

2145
01:36:51,439 --> 01:36:53,399
a game that has a lot of online functionality. So

2146
01:36:53,399 --> 01:36:55,840
if people boot this game up and like log into

2147
01:36:55,880 --> 01:36:59,119
their Microsoft account or as some people were doing streaming

2148
01:36:59,199 --> 01:37:02,239
it on top toast, Playground Games is gonna find you,

2149
01:37:02,520 --> 01:37:04,840
and that account that is associated with that, that is

2150
01:37:05,119 --> 01:37:08,439
an Xbox account, is gonna probably get nuked, and you're

2151
01:37:08,439 --> 01:37:10,239
gonna have a hard time playing any game online with

2152
01:37:10,319 --> 01:37:13,560
that account. Now, you know, people will find ways to

2153
01:37:13,640 --> 01:37:16,720
just to complete play completely offline. You're losing some functionality,

2154
01:37:16,760 --> 01:37:18,680
but you also save a lot of money, and you

2155
01:37:18,760 --> 01:37:21,319
get it early, and people like that as well, So

2156
01:37:21,439 --> 01:37:22,720
they're gonna they're not gonna be able to put the

2157
01:37:22,760 --> 01:37:24,800
toothpaste entirely back in the tube here. But this is

2158
01:37:24,840 --> 01:37:29,039
one where, yeah, they have a lot of methods for

2159
01:37:29,159 --> 01:37:33,199
punishing people who are being brazen about this obviously. Uh,

2160
01:37:33,600 --> 01:37:35,359
it wasn't the only game that leaked, by the way,

2161
01:37:35,399 --> 01:37:38,560
there was that Batman. The lego Batman game got turned

2162
01:37:38,600 --> 01:37:41,600
on and released early on Xbox for a handful of people,

2163
01:37:41,800 --> 01:37:42,439
and it's turning on.

2164
01:37:43,720 --> 01:37:46,560
Speaker 3: I don't know, the ky veil the Dark.

2165
01:37:48,520 --> 01:37:51,199
Speaker 5: I think the trailer was so good for Batman by

2166
01:37:51,239 --> 01:37:52,359
the way, holy crap.

2167
01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:54,840
Speaker 1: It.

2168
01:37:56,319 --> 01:37:59,079
Speaker 4: But yeah, the people who were able to purchase it early,

2169
01:37:59,159 --> 01:38:02,960
that's not the same kind of does a noopsie daisy, right, Yeah.

2170
01:38:02,800 --> 01:38:04,760
Speaker 3: That's right. That's a different It's a wholly different thing.

2171
01:38:04,880 --> 01:38:06,960
You're right, all right.

2172
01:38:07,319 --> 01:38:10,359
Speaker 2: Sony has a two part pitch right now, and they're

2173
01:38:10,399 --> 01:38:12,239
a little bit separate, like, hey, our future is good

2174
01:38:12,439 --> 01:38:15,159
on one side because of AI and on the other

2175
01:38:15,239 --> 01:38:19,199
side because we're making really good games. So the first

2176
01:38:19,239 --> 01:38:22,720
side of this is Hideoki Nishino was saying that AI

2177
01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:25,920
is going to help them with a accelerate development, improve

2178
01:38:26,039 --> 01:38:30,800
QA software engineering, three D modeling, modeling, animation, and personalization

2179
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:32,880
on the PlayStation store. So they are like, we have

2180
01:38:32,960 --> 01:38:34,920
a lot of ways that we're using this stuff. A

2181
01:38:35,039 --> 01:38:37,439
huge part of that is this is the kind of

2182
01:38:37,479 --> 01:38:39,079
stuff you have to say to investors right now to

2183
01:38:39,159 --> 01:38:41,800
keep them satisfied. And they're they're saying that, and then

2184
01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:43,479
they're saying, we're not gonna use it for you know,

2185
01:38:43,640 --> 01:38:46,800
a generative AI. We're gonna have humans make games still,

2186
01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:49,880
But it sounds like they're using it so much across

2187
01:38:49,920 --> 01:38:52,279
the board that it could quickly take over that as well.

2188
01:38:52,279 --> 01:38:53,800
If it saves them a lot of money, I'm sure

2189
01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:56,039
they would like that. And the thing about AI is

2190
01:38:56,079 --> 01:38:58,399
it's cheaper and faster, and so if it's worse, that

2191
01:38:58,520 --> 01:39:01,279
kind of doesn't matter, because if satisfies two of the

2192
01:39:01,359 --> 01:39:05,600
three by being cheaper and faster. Then on the other hand,

2193
01:39:06,039 --> 01:39:10,680
PlayStation VP Christian Spenson was talking about the next three,

2194
01:39:10,840 --> 01:39:13,720
four and five years of games coming from PlayStation and

2195
01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:16,319
I think their partners and saying that their things are

2196
01:39:16,399 --> 01:39:19,399
unbelievably positive and that when he looks at these games,

2197
01:39:19,479 --> 01:39:21,640
it stands in start contrast to the lot of the

2198
01:39:21,720 --> 01:39:23,960
doom and gloom headlines that we talk about on shows

2199
01:39:24,039 --> 01:39:26,319
like this and Gameless Mornings, where it's like these companies

2200
01:39:26,359 --> 01:39:28,640
face a lot of problems and being about getting people

2201
01:39:28,680 --> 01:39:31,520
excited to buy consoles and buy games. He said, when

2202
01:39:31,560 --> 01:39:33,600
he looks at it, he doesn't feel that way. I

2203
01:39:33,640 --> 01:39:35,479
think everyone's just kind of look around, going like, okay,

2204
01:39:35,880 --> 01:39:38,840
then show them get people excited. I think that has

2205
01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:41,800
been the PlayStation five's sort of bugaboo is.

2206
01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:43,279
Speaker 3: People are like, I spent a.

2207
01:39:43,279 --> 01:39:45,199
Speaker 2: Lot of money on this thing, and I do not

2208
01:39:45,319 --> 01:39:47,920
feel the excitement that maybe I felt during the PlayStation four.

2209
01:39:48,640 --> 01:39:50,520
And I've been waiting for the things to really get

2210
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:53,520
started and we're five six years into this thing now

2211
01:39:53,920 --> 01:39:56,640
and it never really got there. How confident are you

2212
01:39:56,720 --> 01:39:59,039
guys about the future of games, because I think they

2213
01:39:59,119 --> 01:40:01,560
can deliver it, just hasn't felt that way so far.

2214
01:40:01,760 --> 01:40:04,359
Speaker 5: I mean, it feels scary, and you know, just at

2215
01:40:04,399 --> 01:40:07,039
this time where there is this uncertainty and there are

2216
01:40:07,159 --> 01:40:11,399
things like Marathon coming out and doing well but not

2217
01:40:11,640 --> 01:40:15,399
well enough, and you know they also cancel their last

2218
01:40:15,520 --> 01:40:19,239
of US big live service game and fair Games is

2219
01:40:19,319 --> 01:40:22,319
still happening. You know, there's uncertainty, and there's also plenty

2220
01:40:22,359 --> 01:40:23,880
of good stuff that they deal over there. But the

2221
01:40:24,039 --> 01:40:26,760
last thing I want to hear about from the right now,

2222
01:40:27,079 --> 01:40:29,399
and I don't care if it was directed at investors

2223
01:40:29,439 --> 01:40:31,199
maybe and not me, but I just don't want to

2224
01:40:31,239 --> 01:40:35,960
hear about AI at PlayStation. That's just the the ultimate

2225
01:40:36,279 --> 01:40:37,439
mood killer right now.

2226
01:40:38,680 --> 01:40:41,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was you know, PlayStation and Nintendo, where those

2227
01:40:41,399 --> 01:40:43,279
companies from Japan that I was hearing about, like they

2228
01:40:43,319 --> 01:40:46,079
were pretty strict with their creatives and their developers about hey,

2229
01:40:46,399 --> 01:40:49,079
please just don't use AI because we don't want that

2230
01:40:49,119 --> 01:40:51,760
stuff popping up in our games that that we might

2231
01:40:51,800 --> 01:40:54,199
get sued for later. So it's better safe than sorry,

2232
01:40:54,239 --> 01:40:56,720
and we just we trust our old processes. We haven't

2233
01:40:56,760 --> 01:41:00,720
analyzed this stuff for risk yet. It's like that's changing

2234
01:41:00,720 --> 01:41:02,520
pretty fast over its Sony at the very least, though,

2235
01:41:04,439 --> 01:41:07,600
Gears of War E Day w W E sponsorship points

2236
01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:10,319
to a possible fall launch window for that game. Uh,

2237
01:41:10,600 --> 01:41:12,279
they're gonna Gears War E Day is going to be

2238
01:41:12,279 --> 01:41:16,600
a sponsor for Triple Mania in September, and so everyone's like,

2239
01:41:16,800 --> 01:41:19,880
usually when a game sponsors something like that, it's either

2240
01:41:20,119 --> 01:41:23,319
out at that moment or coming out very soon afterward.

2241
01:41:23,760 --> 01:41:25,960
Speaker 3: That sounds right to me. What do you guys thinking.

2242
01:41:26,119 --> 01:41:29,319
I'm just surprised to hear w dores doing sponsorships now. Yeah,

2243
01:41:29,399 --> 01:41:30,439
it's a new thing for them.

2244
01:41:31,520 --> 01:41:36,239
Speaker 5: Think about it. Yeah, the ring you could, I think

2245
01:41:37,680 --> 01:41:41,319
interrupt the walkins. I think just matches, that'd be great.

2246
01:41:41,520 --> 01:41:44,439
Speaker 1: They're going to ruin the sanctity of luchador masks by

2247
01:41:44,479 --> 01:41:46,399
slapping a logo on someone's mask.

2248
01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:50,560
Speaker 6: Huh, mister is going to be sponsored? Yeah, oh my god,

2249
01:41:50,640 --> 01:41:53,960
they with lu mask. That's gonna be someone's gonna hurt.

2250
01:41:55,680 --> 01:41:57,000
Speaker 4: Just a big old Pepsi logo.

2251
01:41:58,800 --> 01:42:00,000
Speaker 3: That's the imp.

2252
01:42:04,920 --> 01:42:06,640
Speaker 2: We are going to find out more about Gears of

2253
01:42:06,720 --> 01:42:09,640
War E Day on June seventh, when Xbox does its

2254
01:42:09,880 --> 01:42:13,880
annual Big Showcase. They're having their big Regular showcase, and

2255
01:42:13,920 --> 01:42:15,760
then they're going to follow that up with Gears of

2256
01:42:15,840 --> 01:42:18,800
War E Day Special thing like they did with the

2257
01:42:18,840 --> 01:42:21,359
Outer Worlds to last year and a handful of other

2258
01:42:21,439 --> 01:42:22,640
things in the previous years.

2259
01:42:22,800 --> 01:42:25,760
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, so so so so if people want to

2260
01:42:25,760 --> 01:42:29,920
play Gears of War, look, I don't want Ready for it.

2261
01:42:30,399 --> 01:42:32,039
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm I don't know if I care.

2262
01:42:32,079 --> 01:42:33,319
I've never really been a Gears guys.

2263
01:42:33,439 --> 01:42:36,920
Speaker 6: I like Gears a lot back when it originally ran,

2264
01:42:37,119 --> 01:42:40,239
and after playing them all again recently with Kayla, I

2265
01:42:40,439 --> 01:42:42,159
think I I think I really like Gears of War

2266
01:42:42,199 --> 01:42:42,399
a lot.

2267
01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:44,319
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm playing Ready for New Gears.

2268
01:42:44,359 --> 01:42:46,479
Speaker 4: I played the majority of them, and they're They're good.

2269
01:42:46,560 --> 01:42:49,399
I enjoy them, but I I they are they have

2270
01:42:49,479 --> 01:42:52,680
a very like lukewarm sort of like space in my

2271
01:42:52,840 --> 01:42:56,680
mind where I'm just like empty caunteries.

2272
01:42:56,800 --> 01:42:58,720
Speaker 6: It's empty calories, you know, like I don't think the

2273
01:42:58,840 --> 01:43:00,359
works of art or anything like that. But they're a

2274
01:43:00,399 --> 01:43:00,960
fun time.

2275
01:43:02,439 --> 01:43:04,760
Speaker 2: I look, I this was the one that they feels

2276
01:43:04,760 --> 01:43:07,520
like they're trying to reboot the energy around Gears of War,

2277
01:43:08,159 --> 01:43:09,600
and we'll see how they're able to do that. I

2278
01:43:09,640 --> 01:43:11,560
don't know, I'm not I'm not sure. Maybe this is

2279
01:43:11,560 --> 01:43:12,680
the one that really gets me excited.

2280
01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:14,640
Speaker 5: I I'd like for it to be good when Gears

2281
01:43:14,640 --> 01:43:17,039
of War is ohkad, I always have a good time

2282
01:43:17,319 --> 01:43:19,520
with it. Gears War one on the Xbox or sixty

2283
01:43:19,560 --> 01:43:21,800
felt like a moment. That's an experience.

2284
01:43:21,800 --> 01:43:23,920
Speaker 3: I that's drink about. It was cool is his whole thing.

2285
01:43:24,600 --> 01:43:26,279
I haven't been invested in the series.

2286
01:43:26,079 --> 01:43:28,800
Speaker 5: In a while. I barely played four and five. But

2287
01:43:29,119 --> 01:43:30,760
I don't know. I am feeling a bit of that itch.

2288
01:43:31,960 --> 01:43:32,119
Speaker 4: Uh.

2289
01:43:32,439 --> 01:43:36,680
Speaker 2: Let's see here tech and Boss Katsuhiro Harada has joined

2290
01:43:37,479 --> 01:43:40,359
S n K PlayStation third party content.

2291
01:43:40,520 --> 01:43:42,800
Speaker 3: But this is the wrong fucking thing here. Let's see. Yeah,

2292
01:43:42,800 --> 01:43:44,039
I wrote a copy of the wrong thing.

2293
01:43:44,319 --> 01:43:45,600
Speaker 5: Okay, basically I have the.

2294
01:43:45,560 --> 01:43:46,239
Speaker 3: Story over here.

2295
01:43:46,640 --> 01:43:50,479
Speaker 2: Harada, who was previously in charge of tech in he

2296
01:43:50,760 --> 01:43:53,960
worked there for a very long time. He left there after.

2297
01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:57,319
Speaker 3: Thirty one years. He is now moving over to S

2298
01:43:57,399 --> 01:43:57,600
and K.

2299
01:43:57,760 --> 01:44:02,479
Speaker 2: According to Harada, he is starting VS Studios or Versus Studios.

2300
01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:06,000
He says the name holds various meetings including video Game Soft,

2301
01:44:06,319 --> 01:44:11,520
Victoria's Victoria's Secret and the Spirits, the Ristic Evil Edge,

2302
01:44:11,560 --> 01:44:13,680
and it's the Reach for the Moon Engine.

2303
01:44:14,239 --> 01:44:15,159
Speaker 5: Yes exactly that.

2304
01:44:15,600 --> 01:44:15,760
Speaker 1: You know.

2305
01:44:15,840 --> 01:44:18,760
Speaker 3: It's obviously means one thing he's saying. It means something else. Uh,

2306
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:19,960
it's just the philosophy.

2307
01:44:20,159 --> 01:44:24,840
Speaker 2: Philosophy behind the studio is beyond tradition, crafted to perfection.

2308
01:44:26,319 --> 01:44:29,319
Herada just kind of being Herada here. The story is

2309
01:44:29,520 --> 01:44:33,640
uh leaving band Damco to go over to S and K,

2310
01:44:33,960 --> 01:44:37,600
probably to make fighting games. Uh is this just a

2311
01:44:37,640 --> 01:44:39,720
story of there's a lot of money at S and

2312
01:44:39,760 --> 01:44:43,479
K because of Saudi Arabia and he's gonna have the

2313
01:44:43,520 --> 01:44:44,000
big payday.

2314
01:44:44,079 --> 01:44:47,279
Speaker 5: I think he's getting a big payday. And yeah, it's

2315
01:44:48,319 --> 01:44:50,119
a little weird. I mean S and K not super

2316
01:44:50,159 --> 01:44:53,239
known for three D fighting games, which is his area

2317
01:44:53,279 --> 01:44:55,560
of expertise, So I don't know if they're going to

2318
01:44:55,640 --> 01:44:58,359
make some kind of a gamble there. It still feels

2319
01:44:58,439 --> 01:45:00,800
like that new Fatal Theory did not really make that

2320
01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:03,039
much of a splash. I think that Invincible game like

2321
01:45:03,119 --> 01:45:09,039
already has more SAM reviews for instance. Yeah, so yeah,

2322
01:45:09,199 --> 01:45:11,079
I bet yeah. I think it's mostly just it's it's

2323
01:45:11,079 --> 01:45:12,840
a big, big day and maybe it was unhappy at

2324
01:45:12,880 --> 01:45:13,680
bandy Namco.

2325
01:45:14,079 --> 01:45:14,800
Speaker 3: I don't know.

2326
01:45:15,439 --> 01:45:17,600
Speaker 5: Uh, I guess I'm gonna be curious what that game

2327
01:45:17,640 --> 01:45:19,079
looks like. Are they just going to try to make

2328
01:45:19,119 --> 01:45:21,359
a three D fail for you again? They've done that before.

2329
01:45:21,520 --> 01:45:25,239
Is it going to be something maybe entirely new, Maybe

2330
01:45:25,279 --> 01:45:28,520
they turned Samurai Showdown into three D. I don't know.

2331
01:45:29,800 --> 01:45:32,640
Speaker 2: I yeah, I mean I bet the people who are

2332
01:45:32,720 --> 01:45:35,239
paying the bills over at S and K now like

2333
01:45:35,359 --> 01:45:37,159
the idea of having a big three D fighting game

2334
01:45:37,359 --> 01:45:39,399
and having herodicum in and doing it.

2335
01:45:39,439 --> 01:45:40,720
Speaker 3: And that is exactly what led to this.

2336
01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:44,920
Speaker 2: It's uh, it's disappointing, but money talks, and we're not

2337
01:45:44,960 --> 01:45:45,840
gonna be able to change that.

2338
01:45:46,399 --> 01:45:48,920
Speaker 3: Uh So let's end up with no.

2339
01:45:49,079 --> 01:45:49,119
Speaker 5: No.

2340
01:45:49,199 --> 01:45:50,760
Speaker 2: That's the end of the news. There's nothing else happening,

2341
01:45:50,840 --> 01:45:54,000
nothing else important, nothing else that matters to anyone, certainly

2342
01:45:54,079 --> 01:45:54,960
not the jan You.

2343
01:45:55,119 --> 01:45:59,079
Speaker 1: Motherfucker's first Oh Happy API month, And this is how

2344
01:45:59,079 --> 01:46:01,319
we're celebrating AAP.

2345
01:46:01,520 --> 01:46:06,520
Speaker 2: I'm montagen in particular because Cyclops is headed to Marvel Rivals.

2346
01:46:06,560 --> 01:46:09,319

2347
01:46:10,319 --> 01:46:14,880
Speaker 3: This motherfucker. It looks so beautiful, the fucking leader of

2348
01:46:14,920 --> 01:46:15,399
the X Men.

2349
01:46:15,680 --> 01:46:17,960
Speaker 1: And I swear to God I will ban and mute

2350
01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:20,199
you if you say that Cyclops is a cop.

2351
01:46:20,239 --> 01:46:21,359
Speaker 5: Even one of you guys.

2352
01:46:21,720 --> 01:46:23,039
Speaker 4: No one's ever said that before.

2353
01:46:23,119 --> 01:46:24,720
Speaker 3: What do you mind? I don't agree with exactly.

2354
01:46:24,800 --> 01:46:27,199
Speaker 5: I will throw Jeff Grubb's Steam controller at a wall.

2355
01:46:27,920 --> 01:46:29,039
It'll scream, don't.

2356
01:46:28,920 --> 01:46:30,600
Speaker 3: Do that, O King.

2357
01:46:31,159 --> 01:46:34,039
Speaker 1: I'm so fucking excited. I saw the trailer. He looks fantastic.

2358
01:46:34,520 --> 01:46:38,159
I don't even care which role he's in. Also, Devil

2359
01:46:38,239 --> 01:46:41,560
Dinosaur is gonna make it to the game moon Girl.

2360
01:46:42,319 --> 01:46:42,720

Speaker 5: I hear.

2376
01:47:24,159 --> 01:47:27,159
Speaker 1: Okay, they're edging me, is what they're doing? Oh right, right,

2377
01:47:28,039 --> 01:47:30,119
last thing I need now is for Marvel Tokon to

2378
01:47:30,239 --> 01:47:34,560
just fucking drop the teas and let let Slim come out,

2379
01:47:34,760 --> 01:47:37,640
you know, pop open. The leader of the x Men,

2380
01:47:37,960 --> 01:47:40,600
the guy that is doing what Charles fucking Exavier it

2381
01:47:40,760 --> 01:47:42,479
can't do because he's a fucking loser.

2382
01:47:43,000 --> 01:47:47,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's worse than a copy. Yes, loser, he's the

2383
01:47:47,279 --> 01:47:51,479
leader of the x Men. Yes, like always, yes.

2384
01:47:51,479 --> 01:47:53,319
Speaker 5: I will steal a lot. Yeah, and a lot of

2385
01:47:53,359 --> 01:47:57,520
the continuities you know. Okay, No, I'm not questioning has

2386
01:47:57,560 --> 01:47:59,199
been the leader at certain times too.

2387
01:47:59,680 --> 01:48:07,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, bring her up we can Yeah yeah, uh a

2388
01:48:07,079 --> 01:48:10,159
real quick SOMATICA two game files also got leaked this week,

2389
01:48:10,520 --> 01:48:13,560
and that one's like, my mind immediately goes to the

2390
01:48:14,159 --> 01:48:16,520
people publishing that trying to sabotage that game so it

2391
01:48:16,560 --> 01:48:19,000
doesn't get into it than But that's just.

2392
01:48:19,079 --> 01:48:21,640
Speaker 3: Me speculating, that's not They don't know.

2393
01:48:21,960 --> 01:48:24,079
Speaker 1: Was there is there a bonus off the table or

2394
01:48:24,119 --> 01:48:25,600
I thought it was put back on the table.

2395
01:48:25,760 --> 01:48:27,840
Speaker 2: The bonus is back on the table if this thing

2396
01:48:28,159 --> 01:48:31,239
comes out or yes, the courts made them do that.

2397
01:48:31,319 --> 01:48:33,760
It comes out early access and it makes if it

2398
01:48:34,039 --> 01:48:36,840
sells a certain amount, the people who made the game,

2399
01:48:36,920 --> 01:48:39,000
the developers, are going to earn a two hundred and

2400
01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:41,960
fifty million dollar bonus and so U they and we

2401
01:48:42,079 --> 01:48:44,319
know that the people that were publishing over crafton already

2402
01:48:44,439 --> 01:48:47,079
tried to sabotage that once by firing the people in

2403
01:48:47,199 --> 01:48:49,239
charge of the studio and taking it over and saying

2404
01:48:49,239 --> 01:48:52,399
we're going to delay the game, uh for reasons. And

2405
01:48:52,560 --> 01:48:55,920
then the court said, well, that is obviously something bad,

2406
01:48:56,039 --> 01:48:58,279
and you talked to chat GPT about that. That's that

2407
01:48:58,399 --> 01:49:02,199
story there. Yeah, this is probably not what happened here. Obviously,

2408
01:49:02,359 --> 01:49:04,439
we've seen this week. There's a million ways that these

2409
01:49:04,479 --> 01:49:07,119
things can leak early. But that game's out very soon.

2410
01:49:07,399 --> 01:49:08,359
People are going to buy it.

2411
01:49:08,439 --> 01:49:10,119
Speaker 3: It's going to do very very I'm gonna buy so

2412
01:49:10,279 --> 01:49:15,319
many fucking cycle skins. This is bad. It's good that

2413
01:49:15,439 --> 01:49:18,880
does for the headlines. Be you, Jen Now, I'm upset

2414
01:49:18,960 --> 01:49:20,960
about how much money I'm gonna lose on this game

2415
01:49:21,079 --> 01:49:22,439
now and how much.

2416
01:49:22,399 --> 01:49:24,840
Speaker 5: Time as long as you realize it.

2417
01:49:25,199 --> 01:49:28,960
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, anyway, folks at home, we're gonna take quick,

2418
01:49:28,960 --> 01:49:33,039
pricky break and we'll be back with the emails.

01:49:31,840 --> 01:49:42,119

I've been saying this every single week for the last

2424
01:49:54,880 --> 01:49:58,239
couple of months, if not year. Our inbox is flooded

2425
01:49:58,479 --> 01:50:01,199
with great emails. Thank you so much to everyone sending

2426

2428
01:50:06,960 --> 01:50:12,079
all y'all at home. First email from the show comes

2429
01:50:12,159 --> 01:50:17,920
from Jerry and Jerry brought in a little Blake Club quiz. Hey, dudes,

2430
01:50:18,039 --> 01:50:20,520
congrats on one full year of independence. As a late

2431
01:50:20,640 --> 01:50:25,640
Malo anniversary present, I created a Blake Club quiz for Dan, Mike,

2432
01:50:25,760 --> 01:50:29,560
and Grubb. There are ten multiple choice questions about the

2433
01:50:29,760 --> 01:50:33,880
last several years of Blake Club games. When did Blake

2434
01:50:33,880 --> 01:50:34,399
Club start?

2435
01:50:34,560 --> 01:50:41,960
Speaker 3: What year? Probably of twenty twenty two, when Sonic Yeah.

2436
01:50:42,039 --> 01:50:45,439
Speaker 1: Jesus okay. Each is worth one point. It might be

2437
01:50:45,600 --> 01:50:48,319
work best to write down answers individually. We're gonna skip

2438
01:50:48,359 --> 01:50:50,359
all that. I'm gonna choose a couple of these questions.

2439
01:50:50,640 --> 01:50:54,920
Don't worry about points, boys, all right? First question, who

2440
01:50:55,039 --> 01:50:59,159
is the final boss encounter in Mortal Kombat Mythologies?

2441
01:51:00,720 --> 01:51:04,399
Speaker 5: It's right, Jennock. He turns to like Super Shannock, and

2442
01:51:04,520 --> 01:51:07,239
youet to run away from him unless you have enough

2443
01:51:07,439 --> 01:51:11,000
full potions to be able to like do your super

2444
01:51:11,079 --> 01:51:13,399
move and refill your manna and then you can kill

2445
01:51:13,479 --> 01:51:15,000
him and you can get the bloopers at the end.

2446
01:51:15,119 --> 01:51:17,159
Speaker 4: All right, we do an extra credit on this thing January.

2447
01:51:18,760 --> 01:51:19,119
Speaker 3: All right?

2448
01:51:19,239 --> 01:51:22,119
Speaker 1: In Batman Dark Tomorrow, how many times did bat grub

2449
01:51:22,399 --> 01:51:25,840

2450
01:51:25,880 --> 01:51:28,560

01:51:32,720 --> 01:51:36,079
two hundred and ninety seven D three hundred and forty one.

2453
01:51:36,520 --> 01:51:39,840
Speaker 2: Geez, I'm gonna say I think it's two hundred ninety seven.

2454
01:51:39,880 --> 01:51:42,079
I feel like we were about to reach a threshold

2455
01:51:42,119 --> 01:51:42,880
and we didn't get there.

2456
01:51:42,920 --> 01:51:43,560
Speaker 5: That's my memory.

2457
01:51:43,640 --> 01:51:46,199
Speaker 1: But I'm guessing I'm going to three fourteen. I'll go

2458
01:51:46,279 --> 01:51:50,119
with the grub uh ding ding ding ding ding. Mikey's

2459
01:51:50,119 --> 01:51:51,359
the winner three fourteen.

2460
01:51:51,359 --> 01:51:54,479
Speaker 3: Oh wow, having a memory?

2461
01:51:55,039 --> 01:51:57,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, all right, I'm not going to

2462
01:51:57,159 --> 01:52:00,760
read all of the questions. Jerry gonna skip through a

2463
01:52:00,800 --> 01:52:05,119
couple of these. Okay, who is the main antagonist of

2464
01:52:05,239 --> 01:52:06,239
Sonic six.

2465
01:52:08,479 --> 01:52:09,039
Speaker 3: Human Woman?

2466
01:52:10,079 --> 01:52:12,399
Speaker 1: There's multiple choices. I can read them if you want

2467
01:52:13,560 --> 01:52:19,840
a Ebliss, B Silver the Hedgehog, C Solaris, D the

2468
01:52:19,920 --> 01:52:20,600
load times.

2469
01:52:22,439 --> 01:52:25,960
Speaker 5: I mean there's an implish trigger. Is that the name?

2470
01:52:26,800 --> 01:52:30,479
Speaker 3: I think that was Shadow. I'm gonna say. I'm gonna

2471
01:52:30,479 --> 01:52:32,840
say Solaris the George Clooney picture.

2472
01:52:32,960 --> 01:52:34,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what. I think the IMBLSS trigger was

2473
01:52:34,600 --> 01:52:36,359
something else. I think Solaris is the best.

2474
01:52:36,479 --> 01:52:36,960
Speaker 3: No, I think it.

2475
01:52:38,960 --> 01:52:42,479
Speaker 5: I think, yeah, well he's the trigger for Ibliss, right,

2476
01:52:42,560 --> 01:52:43,960
so I think it's the bad guy.

2477
01:52:44,800 --> 01:52:47,239
Speaker 3: I mean, is the obvious ones today? It's probably right?

2478
01:52:47,359 --> 01:52:56,119
Speaker 1: Sure it is C Solaris, all right, Uh okay, let

2479
01:52:56,239 --> 01:53:01,000
me just read two more of these. Okay, Jerry, once again,

2480
01:53:01,039 --> 01:53:04,000
thank you for the quiz. In Darkest of Days? How

2481
01:53:04,039 --> 01:53:06,159
do you determine which enemies to shoot?

2482
01:53:06,399 --> 01:53:07,720
Speaker 3: In the Civil War? Levels?

2483
01:53:08,720 --> 01:53:13,840
Speaker 1: A they're wearing blue uniforms. B they're wearing gray uniforms.

2484
01:53:14,640 --> 01:53:18,279
See they have red outlines. D there's no way to

2485
01:53:18,359 --> 01:53:20,000

2486
01:53:20,119 --> 01:53:21,680

01:53:25,680 --> 01:53:26,760
Speaker 5: Whatever they wore.

2489
01:53:28,840 --> 01:53:30,520
Speaker 3: I don't want to say, because I don't know what

2490
01:53:30,640 --> 01:53:30,920
it is.

2491
01:53:33,239 --> 01:53:33,479
Speaker 5: War.

2492
01:53:33,960 --> 01:53:37,640
Speaker 3: The ones with the Confederate flags are the enemies, Mikey,

2493
01:53:37,640 --> 01:53:38,479
do you want to help them out?

2494
01:53:38,800 --> 01:53:41,880
Speaker 5: I think it would be Gray. I'm gonna say b Gray.

2495
01:53:42,479 --> 01:53:43,239
Speaker 3: That is correct.

2496
01:53:43,319 --> 01:53:48,880
Speaker 1: Boys, all right, all right, uh okay, last question here Jerry.

2497
01:53:48,920 --> 01:53:50,800
Once again, Jerry from Wisconsin, thank you so much for

2498
01:53:50,840 --> 01:53:54,520
the quiz. Which Blake Club member has played the most

2499
01:53:54,800 --> 01:53:58,640
Delight Club games, therefore making his tenure as a member

2500
01:53:58,880 --> 01:53:59,640
the easiest.

2501
01:54:00,880 --> 01:54:03,039
Speaker 5: Mike, Mike, it's gotta be Mike.

2502
01:54:03,159 --> 01:54:06,760
Speaker 3: I think it's probably now I've played the most of

2503
01:54:07,159 --> 01:54:08,960
I think it might be Jeff. I would say Jeff,

2504
01:54:09,439 --> 01:54:10,079
I played a few.

2505
01:54:10,159 --> 01:54:10,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I could see.

2506
01:54:12,920 --> 01:54:13,600
Speaker 4: No, it's not Dan.

2507
01:54:13,960 --> 01:54:16,359
Speaker 3: Most leaves the light. Wow.

2508
01:54:17,039 --> 01:54:17,960
Speaker 5: Put it on his shirt.

2509
01:54:18,079 --> 01:54:20,760
Speaker 3: That's that's what they say about him. And it's like Dan,

2510
01:54:20,880 --> 01:54:22,840
like leaning up against the wall or something.

2511
01:54:23,119 --> 01:54:23,319
Speaker 5: Yeah.

2512
01:54:24,439 --> 01:54:30,319
Speaker 3: Uh, the answer is Jeff Crust. Bonus questions.

2513
01:54:30,880 --> 01:54:34,039
Speaker 1: Bonus question here in the Space Station Beta level of

2514
01:54:34,199 --> 01:54:37,760
Space Ace, which direction must you travel in order to

2515
01:54:37,880 --> 01:54:41,159
dodge the first laser shot on the moving moving platform?

2516
01:54:42,119 --> 01:54:43,000
Speaker 3: Check your thing there.

2517
01:54:43,560 --> 01:54:45,960
Speaker 5: This doesn't help you. Apparently you go.

2518
01:54:46,079 --> 01:54:51,560
Speaker 3: To the left. Are you serious?

2519
01:54:51,920 --> 01:54:52,039
Speaker 7: Right?

2520
01:54:52,199 --> 01:54:57,720
Speaker 3: It's right against my instincts on that one.

2521
01:54:58,640 --> 01:54:59,880
Speaker 5: Do you get those mixed up up on?

2522
01:55:01,239 --> 01:55:03,840
Speaker 3: Yeah? I'm going yeah, I'm getting better.

2523
01:55:04,399 --> 01:55:06,079

2524
01:55:06,319 --> 01:55:10,880
Speaker 3: Well, to the left, I'm gonna write, go right on here.

2525
01:55:13,479 --> 01:55:15,119
Yeah alright, yeah yeah.

2526
01:55:15,199 --> 01:55:18,399
Speaker 1: Thank you so much Jerry for that wonderful email. Next

2527
01:55:18,479 --> 01:55:23,760
email comes from JG. Advance apologies for my mispronunciation of Korean.

2528
01:55:24,159 --> 01:55:28,159
It's gonna happen. I can barely pronounce English. Sometimes on

2529
01:55:28,359 --> 01:55:32,359
young Haseo giant bomb bombers that means hello. I've been

2530
01:55:32,399 --> 01:55:34,479
studying Korean for a few months now, and with all

2531
01:55:34,560 --> 01:55:37,039
this Kia talk, I wanted to throw in some fun

2532
01:55:37,119 --> 01:55:40,760
facts about the Korean language that I've learned. The Korean

2533
01:55:40,800 --> 01:55:45,199
alphabet aka hung ghoul is very simple. It was actually

2534
01:55:45,279 --> 01:55:48,079
designed this way in the fourteen hundreds. Korean writing was

2535
01:55:48,119 --> 01:55:52,520
based on Chinese characters. King Sejong decided that he wanted

2536
01:55:52,600 --> 01:55:54,640
more common people to be able to read and write,

2537
01:55:54,880 --> 01:55:58,000
so he had a new alphabet developed with that intention.

2538
01:55:58,199 --> 01:56:00,520
It's simple enough to learn in an afternoon, and while

2539
01:56:00,600 --> 01:56:03,279
just learning alphabet isn't enough to know the language, knowing

2540
01:56:03,319 --> 01:56:06,880
how to sound things out can help read loanwords from English.

2541
01:56:06,960 --> 01:56:10,680
If you ever visit two. It's what is known as

2542
01:56:10,960 --> 01:56:14,119
s O V language, meaning the verb comes at the

2543
01:56:14,279 --> 01:56:17,520
end of a sentence after the subject an object. For example,

2544
01:56:17,600 --> 01:56:20,159
if I was to describe giant Bob in Korean, the

2545
01:56:20,199 --> 01:56:24,760
structure would be giant bomb a site about website. Giant

2546
01:56:24,800 --> 01:56:29,319
bomb a site about video games is just like Yoda's shit, right,

2547
01:56:30,600 --> 01:56:33,399
Yoda's Korean turns out yeahs.

2548
01:56:34,520 --> 01:56:35,000
Speaker 3: And three.

2549
01:56:35,159 --> 01:56:37,159
Speaker 1: Well, I did say. The alphabet is simple. They have

2550
01:56:37,359 --> 01:56:40,319
sounds we don't, and vice versa. For example, f V

2551
01:56:40,640 --> 01:56:45,119
and th sounds in Korean at the same time they

2552
01:56:45,359 --> 01:56:47,880
show as the symbol. Here is a sound between L

2553
01:56:48,039 --> 01:56:52,079
and R. If you've watched much subed anime, you've definitely

2554
01:56:52,119 --> 01:56:54,479
heard it. Example the guy who's lucky in tune in

2555
01:56:54,640 --> 01:56:59,960
exams of Naruto or MYSA saying light in death note. Okay, anyway,

2556
01:57:00,119 --> 01:57:07,880
those are my fun facts. Second, anyway, those are my

2557
01:57:07,920 --> 01:57:11,479
fun facts. But here's a more useful ish sentence for y'all. Okay,

2558
01:57:11,920 --> 01:57:18,199
wah O'Neil yun mikey yashi a dung el ao or

2559
01:57:18,199 --> 01:57:20,520
in English, wow, today is a Mikey's day.

2560
01:57:23,359 --> 01:57:24,720
Speaker 5: I gotta learn that. One, I gotta learn that.

2561
01:57:24,800 --> 01:57:26,920
Speaker 1: One we should put we should put that on a shirt.

2562
01:57:27,000 --> 01:57:31,920
They put the Korean alphabet there. Okay, all right. Next

2563
01:57:32,159 --> 01:57:35,039
email comes from Andrew from r V A Hey, hey, hey, hey,

01:58:04,800 --> 01:58:07,199
Speaker 5: If you have them, hit us up on Blue Sky

2576
01:58:07,760 --> 01:58:09,800

Speaker 5: All right, jesus.

2587
01:58:47,279 --> 01:58:50,039

01:58:50,039 --> 01:58:50,840
say about the Kia.

2589
01:58:51,800 --> 01:58:55,880
Speaker 5: But Grandma's arresting. She was a We took her, We

2590

took her to the Mexican restaurant for Mother's Day and

2591
01:58:58,840 --> 01:59:07,399
she had one Marguerite and was just toasted. I won't

2592
01:59:07,520 --> 01:59:09,920
repeat it, but she thought that the sausa was very pinchy.

2593
01:59:10,800 --> 01:59:11,199
Speaker 4: Pinchy.

2594
01:59:11,800 --> 01:59:17,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's how they say spicy people pinches their sensitive taste.

2595

2602
01:59:42,560 --> 01:59:46,279
know he was trying to control people. Should Hanson's could say,

2603
01:59:46,319 --> 01:59:48,119

2607
01:59:59,600 --> 02:00:02,000
everyone for writing of them in. We only have so

2608
02:00:02,199 --> 02:00:04,680
much time, so we can only read so many.

2609
02:00:05,520 --> 02:00:05,640
Speaker 5: Uh.

2610
02:00:05,760 --> 02:00:08,640

2611
02:00:08,760 --> 02:00:08,920

2612
02:00:09,079 --> 02:00:10,359
Speaker 3: North Southwest.

2613
02:00:11,680 --> 02:00:16,399
Speaker 1: News, New South Wales, New South Wales, New South Wales. Okay, hey,

2614
02:00:16,479 --> 02:00:20,439
Grenadier's in school. One of my nicknames was crabs. What

2615
02:00:20,520 --> 02:00:22,840
do you think the reason for this nickname? I'll email

2616
02:00:22,880 --> 02:00:25,560
again to confirm you got it right. Also, what were

2617
02:00:25,640 --> 02:00:26,960
your nicknames in school?

2618
02:00:27,039 --> 02:00:27,239
Speaker 3: Good?

2619
02:00:27,479 --> 02:00:29,840
Speaker 1: Bad, Huge? Thanks to all the GB crew pass present.

2620
02:00:29,920 --> 02:00:32,319
Without Giant Bomb, my life would be not would not

2621
02:00:32,399 --> 02:00:34,920
be what it is. From Robert in Blue Mountain, North

2622
02:00:34,960 --> 02:00:35,520
South Wales.

2623
02:00:36,319 --> 02:00:36,800
Speaker 5: That's sweet.

2624
02:00:36,880 --> 02:00:39,880
Speaker 2: So so the question is their nickname in school was

2625
02:00:39,920 --> 02:00:41,479
crabs and we're supposed to guess how they got that.

2626
02:00:41,840 --> 02:00:45,119
Speaker 6: They're trying to stay us up for saying genital crabs,

2627
02:00:45,159 --> 02:00:46,199
but that seems too obvious.

2628
02:00:46,600 --> 02:00:49,760
Speaker 5: Yes, we saw the crack open a fresh crab leg

2629
02:00:49,840 --> 02:00:52,239
and he was real damn the tool.

2630
02:00:53,000 --> 02:00:57,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he had strong grippers. Maybe crab every

2631
02:00:57,960 --> 02:01:00,840
day at lunch at school. Yeah, everyone else is getting

2632
02:01:00,880 --> 02:01:03,199
the square pizza and he was having crab legs. Yes,

2633
02:01:03,319 --> 02:01:07,159
every day, kink crab, a whole kink crab. Or maybe

2634
02:01:07,239 --> 02:01:10,319
he was like a little grumpy all the time crabby.

2635
02:01:11,159 --> 02:01:12,399
Speaker 5: Maybe love krabby patties.

2636
02:01:12,800 --> 02:01:16,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe he was red and obsessed with business and

2637
02:01:16,880 --> 02:01:17,840
his daughter was a whale.

2638
02:01:19,439 --> 02:01:21,600
Speaker 3: His parents had a crab apple tree in their yard,

2639
02:01:22,479 --> 02:01:23,319
like look look at crabb.

2640
02:01:24,920 --> 02:01:26,560
Speaker 5: All my friends a lot of my friends in high

2641
02:01:26,560 --> 02:01:28,680
school because like I would explain what leads speak was

2642
02:01:28,760 --> 02:01:30,760
to them, which was a thing at the time. If

2643
02:01:30,760 --> 02:01:32,199
we would say it like to be clear, we said

2644
02:01:32,239 --> 02:01:34,760
it like ironic, but like all of them thought it

2645
02:01:34,840 --> 02:01:36,840
was really funny, and Billy said, they would call me

2646
02:01:36,960 --> 02:01:38,199
mikesores and a lot of them.

2647
02:01:38,119 --> 02:01:40,880
Speaker 3: Still, Oh is that where that comes from?

2648
02:01:42,199 --> 02:01:42,239
Speaker 6: You?

2649
02:01:42,399 --> 02:01:44,840
Speaker 3: You've seen some of my friends call me that absolutely.

2650
02:01:46,359 --> 02:01:48,840
Speaker 6: Before they tried to get nad Tracker working on me,

2651
02:01:48,960 --> 02:01:50,640
because that's what some of the guys in junior high.

2652
02:01:50,640 --> 02:01:53,039
I thought my name was backwards, but nad Tracker didn't

2653
02:01:53,039 --> 02:01:56,239
really catch on. That's it's a lot of syllables, yeah,

2654
02:01:56,399 --> 02:01:57,039
track and nads.

2655
02:01:57,800 --> 02:02:05,239
Speaker 5: Uh. I get Daniel Anuary, jam jan that's it, jam bigelow.

2656
02:02:05,800 --> 02:02:08,359
Speaker 3: Oh that's good. No one ever makes any nicknames for Jerome.

2657
02:02:08,760 --> 02:02:14,279
That's fine. Je Jerome is verning stop No no no, no,

2658
02:02:15,079 --> 02:02:16,600
not that no no, no, no, We're not doing this.

2659
02:02:17,960 --> 02:02:22,960
It's okay. Baklar uh grub any nicknames other than your

2660
02:02:23,000 --> 02:02:23,520
last names.

2661
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:27,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've said this a bunch of going way back.

2662
02:02:27,399 --> 02:02:27,520
Speaker 3: Uh.

2663
02:02:28,319 --> 02:02:33,600
Speaker 4: Because of fresh Prince, people called me g for Jeffrey

2664
02:02:33,720 --> 02:02:38,960
because that's oh sure, which you know makes perfect sense

2665
02:02:39,239 --> 02:02:39,760
and skippy.

2666
02:02:39,800 --> 02:02:42,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like he spelled because that Jeffrey spelled his

2667
02:02:42,439 --> 02:02:46,199
with the G presub it made sense for him, definitely nonsense.

2668
02:02:47,039 --> 02:02:48,399
Yeah for me, it's offensive.

2669
02:02:48,600 --> 02:02:50,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would hate it.

2670
02:02:50,239 --> 02:02:50,960
Speaker 4: I'm not achulle.

2671
02:02:51,199 --> 02:02:51,439
Speaker 5: Come on.

2672
02:02:53,000 --> 02:02:55,319
Speaker 2: It was all like my last name is grub. So

2673
02:02:55,840 --> 02:02:58,079
people didn't need a lot of nicknames, but they care

2674
02:02:58,159 --> 02:02:59,840
to be like grub worm or something like that. And

2675
02:03:00,439 --> 02:03:01,960
yeah thanks along those lines.

2676
02:03:03,159 --> 02:03:03,399
Speaker 6: Cool.

2677
02:03:03,920 --> 02:03:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would love to be the worst I think. Yeah, yeah,

2678
02:03:09,239 --> 02:03:12,520

2680
02:03:15,039 --> 02:03:16,119
Speaker 5: That was just ever.

2681
02:03:18,920 --> 02:03:21,439
Speaker 1: I call all of you your name and then you'ller

2682
02:03:21,760 --> 02:03:26,520
in my head sometimes, Okay, like I say rebular bacular.

2683
02:03:27,640 --> 02:03:27,760
Speaker 8: Uh.

2684
02:03:28,199 --> 02:03:32,640
Speaker 1: This is all because my friends called her boyfriend vonular

2685
02:03:32,840 --> 02:03:35,239
and his name was just Vaughn and I asked like, well,

2686

is that short for something and he was like no,

2687
02:03:37,640 --> 02:03:42,279
he's just very like nebular. So I just added, like

2688
02:03:42,359 --> 02:03:45,680
tubular every everybody you talk to it a story.

2689
02:03:45,760 --> 02:03:52,000
Speaker 3: Now, sound like a C is that person that shouts

2690
02:03:52,000 --> 02:03:54,840
out the gang? All right?

2691
02:03:55,039 --> 02:03:59,239
Speaker 1: Anyway, last email, I was asking about some movie advice.

2692
02:03:59,399 --> 02:04:02,560
John from past writes in him not gonna say that

2693
02:04:02,640 --> 02:04:06,640
one high Bombers, long time, long time. I have two boys,

2694
02:04:06,840 --> 02:04:08,840
a ten year old and a seven year old. We

2695
02:04:09,039 --> 02:04:12,319
just finished watching the nine mainline Star Wars movies and

2696
02:04:12,399 --> 02:04:15,239
they really enjoyed them. They also have watched only two

2697
02:04:15,319 --> 02:04:18,600
home alone movies that exist, and also like them a lot.

2698
02:04:19,279 --> 02:04:21,760
I'm thinking next to watch The Mask, the nineteen ninety

2699
02:04:21,800 --> 02:04:26,039
three Mario movie, and maybe The Fifth Element. Other than

2700
02:04:26,119 --> 02:04:29,159
movies directly aimed at kids, what other movies would you

2701
02:04:29,319 --> 02:04:31,680
recommend for us. I grew up in the nineties and

2702
02:04:31,720 --> 02:04:33,680
have a pondus for those movies, but anything we'll do.

2703
02:04:33,920 --> 02:04:36,399
I also don't care about age ratings, so as long

2704
02:04:36,399 --> 02:04:39,960
as there's no explicit violence. Thanks advance. PS no Dan,

2705
02:04:40,159 --> 02:04:41,239
I'm not showing them Jaws.

2706
02:04:41,720 --> 02:04:44,159
Speaker 3: I was gonna sit the Horizon, but I don't think.

2707
02:04:46,199 --> 02:04:48,079
Speaker 4: Let me just you know, thank you email er. I

2708
02:04:48,119 --> 02:04:50,279
don't know about Fifth Element. I think Fifth Element you

2709
02:04:50,439 --> 02:04:53,279
maybe should be a little not that it's inappropriate, but

2710
02:04:53,359 --> 02:04:56,560
I think to really like appreciate that movie, you might

2711
02:04:56,680 --> 02:05:01,159
want to be a little older. I'll offer a swap.

2712
02:05:01,960 --> 02:05:04,479
Take Fifth Element off the table. And then I just

2713
02:05:04,560 --> 02:05:07,520
did this with my eleven year old Fucking Ferris Bueller's

2714
02:05:07,600 --> 02:05:11,560
Day Off man that movie. Oh yeah, that rips for

2715
02:05:11,880 --> 02:05:14,640
for like that kid was just glued to his seat

2716
02:05:14,760 --> 02:05:17,159
for two hours, just being like this is the coolest

2717
02:05:17,199 --> 02:05:17,600
shit ever.

2718
02:05:18,760 --> 02:05:20,560
Speaker 2: The mask is a good one as well, Like if

2719
02:05:20,560 --> 02:05:23,920
you watch that one, the kids, kids enjoy the mask.

2720
02:05:24,239 --> 02:05:26,880
Speaker 3: I do think, you know, Terminator two, he does have

2721
02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:28,199
the no killing anyone rules.

2722
02:05:28,239 --> 02:05:30,439
Speaker 2: So if that counts and it starts that way, it's

2723
02:05:30,479 --> 02:05:32,119
not like it's not like you have to wait, like yeah,

2724
02:05:32,199 --> 02:05:33,199
they even when he's like.

2725
02:05:35,479 --> 02:05:38,920
Speaker 5: He doesn't rules, but yeah, yeah, there's other people who

2726
02:05:39,039 --> 02:05:41,079
don't have that rule. Yeah, some people get stabbed in

2727
02:05:41,239 --> 02:05:43,000
the face, I don't know.

2728
02:05:43,479 --> 02:05:45,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the eyeball while getting of any machine.

2729
02:05:45,920 --> 02:05:46,319
Speaker 5: Thing. Don't know.

2730
02:05:46,399 --> 02:05:49,880
Speaker 2: To be Terminator two is a very like nine year

2731
02:05:49,920 --> 02:05:51,600
olds is probably a little young, but it's like a

2732
02:05:51,640 --> 02:05:52,640
ten year old coded.

2733
02:05:52,600 --> 02:05:54,159
Speaker 3: I was seven and my life.

2734
02:05:55,359 --> 02:05:59,319
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna absolutely disagree that the temperature of this

2735
02:05:59,439 --> 02:06:00,600
room is icotic.

2736
02:06:00,800 --> 02:06:02,880
Speaker 5: I don't think. Yeah, I didn't watch that until much

2737
02:06:02,960 --> 02:06:03,520
later than ten.

2738
02:06:03,560 --> 02:06:05,159
Speaker 2: Person, that was okay, But you want to be like

2739
02:06:05,239 --> 02:06:09,319
Mike Manatti co one obviously, boy, that was just my experience.

2740
02:06:09,039 --> 02:06:13,560
Speaker 3: That I do Turtles, the Turtles movies obviously want.

2741
02:06:13,439 --> 02:06:15,760
Speaker 5: To Yeah, they're there. Those are fun one too. You

2742
02:06:15,840 --> 02:06:20,000
don't need to see three at all. This is doubt.

2743
02:06:20,000 --> 02:06:21,520
Fire is really good. I don't know how much you

2744
02:06:21,600 --> 02:06:23,720
want to expose your kids to the concept of divorce.

2745
02:06:24,239 --> 02:06:27,359
It's like the only thing potentially are running there Ron Williams,

2746
02:06:27,439 --> 02:06:33,039
but William Harry watch Hook. There you go.

2747
02:06:33,920 --> 02:06:35,880
Speaker 4: You know you know what I'll say this, like Hook

2748
02:06:36,039 --> 02:06:39,159
is good. There is again, I also have a sensitive job.

2749
02:06:39,199 --> 02:06:45,359
But like Hook has some gnarly like kidnapping, I think right,

2750
02:06:45,399 --> 02:06:48,640
but like one, I think that is on the table

2751
02:06:48,720 --> 02:06:49,079
for sure.

2752
02:06:49,359 --> 02:06:52,640
Speaker 1: It will introduce Yeah, Hook will introduce your kid to

2753
02:06:52,720 --> 02:06:55,159
the concept of a Filipino person, the.

2754
02:06:55,279 --> 02:06:59,600
Speaker 4: Concept the idea. Oh my god. I was watching a

2755
02:06:59,680 --> 02:07:03,000
really interesting, uh breakdown of one of those scenes where

2756
02:07:03,119 --> 02:07:07,520
Rufio takes that sword and stops it right at Robin

2757
02:07:07,560 --> 02:07:09,640
Williams's face and they're like, how did they do this?

2758
02:07:09,720 --> 02:07:11,239
How did they do this? And they're like, no, no,

2759
02:07:11,439 --> 02:07:12,720
they just shot it backwards.

2760
02:07:14,880 --> 02:07:15,079
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2761
02:07:15,520 --> 02:07:18,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that means every every kid actor in that

2762
02:07:18,760 --> 02:07:23,199
scene had in reverse and there was like ten of them.

2763
02:07:23,319 --> 02:07:25,199
It was really impressive, which you know, if.

2764
02:07:25,119 --> 02:07:27,199
Speaker 4: You've ever like tried to rewind footage and play it

2765
02:07:27,239 --> 02:07:29,600
as if it's going forward. There's something just always off

2766
02:07:29,640 --> 02:07:31,760
about it. It just doesn't look right. But they nailed it.

2767
02:07:31,840 --> 02:07:32,640
They did a great job.

2768
02:07:33,800 --> 02:07:37,880
Speaker 3: National Treasure A little time.

2769
02:07:38,159 --> 02:07:40,560
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I just don't think you guys get it.

2770
02:07:41,640 --> 02:07:44,800
A nine, National Treasure ten and a seven. They're not

2771
02:07:44,880 --> 02:07:46,119
going to understand what's going on.

2772
02:07:46,600 --> 02:07:49,159
Speaker 3: Oh is not that God, You guys are not good

2773
02:07:49,239 --> 02:07:49,600
for them.

2774
02:07:49,960 --> 02:07:53,000
Speaker 4: They're they're benign movies. I'm not saying like they'll be

2775
02:07:53,560 --> 02:07:56,159
scarred by it, but you're basically just putting something in

2776
02:07:56,159 --> 02:07:59,279
front of a kid who's just like, Dad, what has happened?

2777
02:07:59,359 --> 02:08:01,039
Speaker 5: I what are we doing here?

2778
02:08:01,720 --> 02:08:01,880
Speaker 3: Yeah?

2779
02:08:01,920 --> 02:08:04,079
Speaker 2: But like I watched movies like that as like I

2780
02:08:04,119 --> 02:08:07,079
would latron to the stuff I did understand and the

2781
02:08:07,079 --> 02:08:08,880
stuff would I would get filled in later in life

2782
02:08:08,920 --> 02:08:11,560
when I would either watch complicated than an Idiota Jones.

2783
02:08:11,560 --> 02:08:13,000
Speaker 5: You probably don't do any of Jones because of the

2784
02:08:13,039 --> 02:08:15,840
face melting. Yeah, this one doesn't have face melting. I

2785
02:08:15,880 --> 02:08:19,760
thinks someone is always kind of slowly melting.

2786
02:08:19,960 --> 02:08:22,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I said, it's not the content. I think

2787
02:08:22,279 --> 02:08:23,640
it's just the storyline.

2788
02:08:24,960 --> 02:08:25,239
Speaker 5: I think.

2789
02:08:25,279 --> 02:08:27,000
Speaker 4: I don't know in my experience, like kids I do

2790
02:08:27,159 --> 02:08:30,640
think get bored if they're not emotionally attached to, like

2791
02:08:31,239 --> 02:08:32,960
what the stakes of the thing are.

2792
02:08:34,880 --> 02:08:38,079
Speaker 5: Explain to your kid that the decoration of independence is important.

2793
02:08:38,800 --> 02:08:42,920
Speaker 1: And my reasoning is that, like I feel like Hamilton

2794
02:08:43,000 --> 02:08:46,560
became so big that like kids know what Hamilton is, right,

2795
02:08:46,800 --> 02:08:50,960
So there's like some knowledge or whatever of like the

2796
02:08:51,039 --> 02:08:51,880
early US ship.

2797
02:08:52,439 --> 02:08:54,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Sonic movie should be here for sure.

2798
02:08:54,680 --> 02:08:57,479
Speaker 5: If you haven't yet, email for sure.

2799
02:08:58,479 --> 02:09:01,720
Speaker 1: All right, That about does for emails. Thank you everyone

2800
02:09:01,760 --> 02:09:04,119
for writing in. Apologies if you didn't get your email

2801
02:09:04,159 --> 02:09:07,720
read on the show, but please please please keep sending

2802
02:09:07,760 --> 02:09:09,600
them in BombCast giant bomb dot com.

2803
02:09:09,960 --> 02:09:13,159
Speaker 3: Grub. Is it that time or we skipping this week?

2804
02:09:14,159 --> 02:09:18,560
Speaker 2: It's that time, everybody for the podcast within a podcast grub. Guesser, everybody,

2805
02:09:18,640 --> 02:09:21,000
this is the game where I show an old video

2806
02:09:21,119 --> 02:09:24,039
game magazine ad to my friends here on the show

2807
02:09:24,479 --> 02:09:26,039
and then they have to tell me what it is

2808
02:09:26,199 --> 02:09:30,319
advertising this week, I've got an ad here from a

2809
02:09:30,439 --> 02:09:33,720
magazine that for audio listeners, it says third times a

2810
02:09:33,920 --> 02:09:37,760
charm if you consider death charming. Then there is a

2811
02:09:38,000 --> 02:09:41,479
lady dressed kind of like catwoman with a whip inside

2812
02:09:41,479 --> 02:09:44,399
of a cage attacking a man with a club. What

2813
02:09:44,800 --> 02:09:49,119
video game is this advertising turn off, the turn chat

2814
02:09:49,119 --> 02:09:50,720
off any black the stuff at bottom, but maybe don't

2815
02:09:50,720 --> 02:09:50,880
read that.

2816
02:09:50,920 --> 02:09:52,399
Speaker 3: I can't remember what it says. Oh wait, do I

2817
02:09:52,439 --> 02:09:57,239
need to see what is this? Oh? That looks early nineties?

2818
02:09:59,600 --> 02:10:02,600
Speaker 5: Is this the uh battlea to Shinden two?

2819
02:10:03,479 --> 02:10:06,960
Speaker 3: Jeez, it is not battle rena totionin didn't too.

2820
02:10:07,159 --> 02:10:12,720
Speaker 6: Ten arenas they're enclosed, thirty thirty characters. Okay, this might

2821
02:10:12,760 --> 02:10:14,119
be a PS one game.

2822
02:10:14,399 --> 02:10:16,399
Speaker 5: This is one game it is.

2823
02:10:16,760 --> 02:10:17,800
Speaker 3: It's not Time Killers.

2824
02:10:17,880 --> 02:10:22,560
Speaker 4: No, this kid the cage just throwing me off.

2825
02:10:23,319 --> 02:10:26,920
Speaker 3: Okay, is this Cardinal Sin. It's not Cardinal Sin. I'll say,

2826
02:10:26,960 --> 02:10:30,800
Mike is pretty close. What did he say? Battle in two?

2827
02:10:33,239 --> 02:10:33,399
Speaker 5: Game?

2828
02:10:33,880 --> 02:10:34,520
Speaker 3: It's a battle r.

2829
02:10:35,840 --> 02:10:42,239
Speaker 5: Third time to turn battle Arena tohind in three second?

2830
02:10:42,319 --> 02:10:44,000
I don't okay, damn it, I was right there.

2831
02:10:44,359 --> 02:10:46,359
Speaker 3: All right, I got one more for you guys.

2832
02:10:46,800 --> 02:10:50,399
Speaker 5: This one would have credit on that one. Yes, absolutely,

2833
02:10:50,399 --> 02:10:52,039
if this one, if you if you know it, you

2834
02:10:52,079 --> 02:10:53,079
might just know it off the bats.

2835
02:10:53,079 --> 02:10:53,680
Speaker 3: So we'll see you know.

2836
02:10:53,720 --> 02:10:55,960
Speaker 2: Actually, this time we're gonna go one person at a time.

2837
02:10:55,960 --> 02:10:57,239
I'm gonna ask you guys to make a guess.

2838
02:10:57,239 --> 02:10:57,920
Speaker 3: All right, here we go.

2839
02:10:58,119 --> 02:11:00,319
Speaker 2: No, if I know what I'm yelling at for our

2840
02:11:00,399 --> 02:11:04,920
audio listeners, it is a bunch of ants attacking one

2841
02:11:05,399 --> 02:11:07,800
different looking at, which actually is uncomfortable now when I

2842
02:11:07,840 --> 02:11:10,359
say that out loud, though, the different looking at says

2843
02:11:10,439 --> 02:11:12,680
you and the other ants are them?

2844
02:11:13,359 --> 02:11:15,199
Speaker 3: Janet Choa, do you have a guess for what game

2845
02:11:15,279 --> 02:11:17,079
this is? I'm trying to get it loaded up for

2846
02:11:17,119 --> 02:11:17,880
the folks at home.

2847
02:11:18,199 --> 02:11:18,560
Speaker 1: Is this?

2848
02:11:19,439 --> 02:11:24,960
Speaker 3: Uh god, this is gross? I don't like this Centipede?

2849
02:11:26,039 --> 02:11:29,840
This is not Centipede, Jeff Backlar, what game is this?

2850
02:11:31,039 --> 02:11:34,119
Speaker 4: Hold on? I'm zooming in because the font is like

2851
02:11:35,079 --> 02:11:37,960
very weird and specific on the dialogue.

2852
02:11:38,159 --> 02:11:40,880
Speaker 3: Font is often a good indicator, like it's a good

2853
02:11:41,039 --> 02:11:41,800
clue to use for.

2854
02:11:44,039 --> 02:11:45,560
Speaker 4: I think this is.

2855
02:11:48,479 --> 02:11:50,680
Speaker 5: Like unreal.

2856
02:11:52,600 --> 02:12:00,279
Speaker 3: This is not unreal. Is this Command and Conquer game? Dan?

2857
02:12:00,960 --> 02:12:04,359
This is not Command and Conquer, Mike Manati.

2858
02:12:05,199 --> 02:12:06,960
Speaker 5: Is it an Earth Defense Force game?

2859
02:12:10,119 --> 02:12:15,199
Speaker 3: This is not Earth Defense Horse all right, you guys

2860
02:12:15,239 --> 02:12:16,399
want to we can open it up to the floor.

2861
02:12:16,600 --> 02:12:17,399
Speaker 5: Is it an RTS?

2862
02:12:17,520 --> 02:12:19,640
Speaker 3: I feel like they're trying to do the swarming enemies thing.

2863
02:12:20,680 --> 02:12:21,760
It is not an RTS.

2864
02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:22,760
Speaker 5: Is it okay?

2865
02:12:22,960 --> 02:12:25,920
Speaker 3: Like dual stick shoot like a robotron of some sort. No,

2866
02:12:26,359 --> 02:12:30,199
it is not a shooter like Robotron. No a schmuff.

2867
02:12:31,920 --> 02:12:35,479
Speaker 4: It is not a schmup Warriors? Was anyone in the ballpark?

2868
02:12:35,560 --> 02:12:36,800
Dynasty Wars is a good guest too.

2869
02:12:37,279 --> 02:12:38,960
Speaker 3: It is not Dynasty Warriors.

2870
02:12:39,159 --> 02:12:43,760
Speaker 4: Someone's been in the ballpark, Capeche matter, I don't think so,

2871
02:12:44,479 --> 02:12:46,479
do not matter which answer was in the ballpark?

2872
02:12:47,359 --> 02:12:47,560
Speaker 5: Yeah?

2873
02:12:47,640 --> 02:12:50,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's gonna give it away too much?

2874
02:12:50,399 --> 02:12:51,920
Speaker 5: Oh wow, great?

2875
02:12:51,960 --> 02:12:54,039
Speaker 2: So would we saund like it's not exactly right or

2876
02:12:54,079 --> 02:12:55,720
something like that. But it's like, but once I say,

2877
02:12:55,720 --> 02:12:57,960
it's like, you guys will just do the process of eliminations,

2878
02:12:58,760 --> 02:12:58,880
is it?

2879
02:12:58,920 --> 02:13:02,800
Speaker 3: Jeffre Semini? It is not Jet Force Jimini? And you

2880
02:13:02,880 --> 02:13:04,239
are along the wrong lines?

2881
02:13:04,319 --> 02:13:05,640
Speaker 5: Are the ladies bug like?

2882
02:13:07,840 --> 02:13:08,399
Speaker 3: Not really?

2883
02:13:08,479 --> 02:13:08,520
Speaker 1: No?

2884
02:13:08,880 --> 02:13:12,880
Speaker 3: Are they? Dude? Planet? It is not lost planet? Wait?

2885
02:13:12,920 --> 02:13:14,239
Speaker 4: What was your original guest?

02:13:14,319 --> 02:13:15,640
Speaker 5: Dan uh?

2887
02:13:16,279 --> 02:13:19,680
Speaker 3: Command of conquer like and that's not ants.

2888
02:13:20,920 --> 02:13:26,119
Speaker 5: Unreal? Is it doom? This is doom for the Super

2889
02:13:26,239 --> 02:13:32,039
Nintendo's say, damn nice good man, you're right there, You're.

2892
02:13:38,159 --> 02:13:38,640
Speaker 5: It's doom.

2893
02:13:38,760 --> 02:13:40,279
Speaker 3: It's at the port for Super Nintendo.

2894
02:13:40,800 --> 02:13:45,039
Speaker 5: Yes, well done, Domus always saying Capeche so you know

2895
02:13:45,159 --> 02:13:49,159
the aial ad is capeche pointing at the Doom logo,

2896
02:13:49,399 --> 02:13:51,239
Like the Doom logo is saying capeche.

2897
02:13:51,920 --> 02:13:56,960
Speaker 4: What's crazy is the I in my mind? Because Jen,

2898
02:13:57,159 --> 02:13:59,479
can you back me up on this font thing? This

2899
02:13:59,720 --> 02:14:03,239
font I'm telling you took me to like those games.

2900
02:14:03,279 --> 02:14:06,399
I don't know why, Like the box are at the

2901
02:14:07,079 --> 02:14:11,119
no Like there's something maybe like the logo of like

2902
02:14:11,239 --> 02:14:13,359
the font they used on the r or like the

2903
02:14:14,159 --> 02:14:15,560
quotes on the back or something like that.

2904
02:14:17,319 --> 02:14:20,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is very much I started thinking of like

2905
02:14:22,039 --> 02:14:26,399
brain age stuff. But yeah, I uh, I'm.

2906
02:14:26,319 --> 02:14:27,520
Speaker 3: Happy for you guys. Well done.

2907
02:14:27,600 --> 02:14:30,479
Speaker 2: That's another grub guesser in the camp. Thanks for watching, everybody.

2908
02:14:30,560 --> 02:14:31,840
We'll be back next time.

2909
02:14:32,039 --> 02:14:36,520
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, fantastic For audio listeners. You missed Jeff Backlar

2910
02:14:36,680 --> 02:14:40,560
doing a standing backflip after nailing that head phones. It's

2911
02:14:40,600 --> 02:14:49,039
still connected. Yeah yeah, I'm hurting, like Manati hit me

2912
02:14:49,079 --> 02:14:51,439
with some YouTube super chats if we have any right.

2913
02:14:51,479 --> 02:14:54,239
Speaker 5: First, one's a doozy uh slaveh Bic Austin says we

2914
02:14:54,319 --> 02:14:56,319
need a new rule for bike club. Each of you

2915
02:14:56,439 --> 02:14:58,840
need to pick a successor one has to fish to

2916
02:14:58,880 --> 02:15:01,840
give your play. You die before that? Yeah, what would

2917
02:15:01,880 --> 02:15:04,199
we have done if damn time on a plane.

2918
02:15:08,600 --> 02:15:11,239
Speaker 2: I think the original rule was if one of us dies,

2919
02:15:11,239 --> 02:15:13,239
we do have to have someone replace us, like we

2920
02:15:13,319 --> 02:15:14,920
had to pick a successor. I thought that was that

2921
02:15:15,079 --> 02:15:22,239
was that I picked mine, I just like once like

2922
02:15:22,520 --> 02:15:24,319
like I think I picked my daughter. I think I

2923
02:15:24,359 --> 02:15:26,359
think I had going to be in here, like the

2924
02:15:26,399 --> 02:15:28,560
Giant bomb ownership, not just Blake Club duties.

2925
02:15:28,399 --> 02:15:31,760
Speaker 3: No, no for Blake, the position on Blake Club. Okay, Mike,

2926
02:15:34,720 --> 02:15:37,039
I'll pick Mike two. She's just doing it alone one day,

2927
02:15:39,840 --> 02:15:40,159
all right.

2928
02:15:40,199 --> 02:15:43,319
Speaker 5: Next up here is from Lazy's Negasaurus dB a road

2929
02:15:43,359 --> 02:15:46,680
