Speaker 1: It's the Internet. You're busy, Let's do this. Welcome to
the Game as Decide Podcast. This is the podcast where
we decide everything about the world of video games, so
you never have to think for yourself. I'm your host
Jeff Grubb, and with me is Mike Manati. In today's episode,
Claire Obscure Expedition thirty three is the best JRPG ever made.
JRPG Oblivion rules. If you are a boomer, it says
here in parentheses, I didn't write that. We secured our
switch to preorders, so we'll kind of talk. We'll go
over that whole process as well. Be fun to kind
of do a little post game recap there. But first, Mike,
how are you doing?
Speaker 2: Heis, and Low's Jeff Heisen Heisen Low's absolutely yeah.
Speaker 1: Get a bunch of questions. We'll get into the super
chats for sure. I'm sure there'll be questions there. But
uh yeah, things are just in flux. I guess that
is a good way to put it. You know, I'm
not gonna lie to yet, but also I don't I
don't have all the information about what's going on at work,
so I'll try to like do a very short version
my boss's bosses. My boss's boss got a new boss
and he wanted to stop live streaming. It's yeah, there
it is and for not forever, until until some other
things get worked out. And uh, that kind of caught
off off guard. And you know, we still have the
right to like go do other stuff on the site,
but kind of like, whoa, what's going on here? And
so we are just going to try to figure some
stuff out. And it's not like doomsday, but it's also
not Sunshin's and rainbows. So I wish I could say more,
but I honestly don't have a good idea about what
to say next. So we'll figure it out. We will
try to keep you as informed as possible when we
when we do speak publicly, it is yeah, continues to
be with not all of the information. So yeah, we're
going to hang in there. Don't worry about us, and
the very least, we're not going anywhere, like in one
way or another, I'm gonna be here. I kind of
can't do anything else at this point. Mike. I've like, like,
could I like jump over to the other side and
work in publishing. They don't like me. I report on
all their stuff. All the time. They don't love that,
and so I think you all are going to kind
of have to be stuck with me, And so we're
gonna be here, keep doing doing this so you can
at least count on that one way or another.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all absolutely right.
Speaker 3: I like, I like doing this. I wouldn't want to
do anything else anyways.
Speaker 1: I don't want to do anything else.
Speaker 2: I'll love doing this with you, love doing this with Likewise,
my other friends, like I said, you know, we're sorry
that we have to be vague. So we're sorry, we
just can't say everything that we want to. Again, part
is because we don't want to lie, and another part
is that we still don't entirely know what's gonna happen,
So you don't want to necessarily stir the pot too
much there.
Speaker 3: But yeah, we're obviously frustrated.
Speaker 2: I'm angry, frankly watching the way that you've been treated
and my other friends at Giant Bomb have been treated lately.
And I think, you know, just saying, hey, we're gonna
pause live streams, as if that's not what we do right,
as if we're not a live streaming company that's our
thing we do. So just pausing it and not treating
that like.
Speaker 3: The nuclear option for them that it was.
Speaker 2: I think it's lets us all a bit stunned and
just unsure about what is going on there. So yeah,
that's why, you know, again, we've been kind of, you know, weird.
We've been trying to handle it with jokes and we've
been awkwardly laughing and alue to things, and we know
it's frustrating for all of you. We don't know what's
going to happen, but yeah, we kind of have to
wait and see a little bit more there, yep.
Speaker 1: And in the meantime we could do this show. And you know,
I did notice some people joining the Patreon. I was
getting those notifications all day to day, so that was
very nice. Don't feel that that's necessary, though, but if
you want to show your support that way, I do
notice it, and I do appreciate it. And in the meantime,
we're gonna just we'll hang out here, try to have
a good time, and then get you the information as
best we can. You know, i'd like to say that
first thing next week we'll know we won't right no
right away, but next week we should be able to
figure some stuff out. And maybe give you some updates
quickly after that. But I just don't know, so yeah,
we'll see. I'll tell you this. We'll definitely do BombCast
next week, like the BombCast will happen, might not be live,
almost certainly won't be live. But well, we'll do the BombCast.
That one I won't miss. But everything else not sure

want to say that I think we all appreciate that
a lot, So thank you.
Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, I think in one way or another, me
and Mike have come up through communities like this one
or in my case, this one specifically, and so yeah,
I've also like looked around recently some other Reddit communities
and it's a mess out there for a lot of people.
So I'll say this one. I wouldn't trade it. I'm
happy to have you all.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll take you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, all right. Claire Obscure Expedition thirty three is
a Game of the Year contender. It's doing really well.
Earlier today was at a ninety two one Open Critic.
Do we know where it's at right now? It's got
a check up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have my Walmart tab open, so I like
to look at it every once in a while to
make sure that my switch too is still in.
Speaker 1: That's that's nice though, that's good. But also you got
to want to check this this tab because my understanding
is Fantasy Critic, you got this game, huh with your.
Speaker 2: Second Yeah, this was my second pick, and I thought
it was a really good second pick because it wasn't
too long after that one Xbox showcase where it had
that showing where I was like, well, this looks like
it's gonna be way better than I thought. It's at
a ninety one now, so it dropped a smidge. Wow,
absolutely incredible. I have not been able to play this,
as Jeff thinks, have been busy.
Speaker 3: Right game, we had a real stuff going on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been more rentesies positive over at games Beat
right now after mnchs of it being prenthesys negative over there.
So again, but boy, I can't wait to start this.
It looks so up my alley. It's so exciting that
we already had a big one of these not that
long ago of metaphor, and here's another one. People who
like turn based RPGs are just absolutely feasting right now.
Speaker 3: It's awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh, you know, I think this game is
gonna be one that is gonna it Feasting's right, and
really on this game specifically because I think there's gonna
be so much there. The story seems to be clicking
for a lot of people. Even the people that are
coming into it with a skeptical and cynical eye seem
to be coming away with like, well, there's still stuff
to love here, and that's like fun trying to like
fun to like read people's criticism as they go along
playing it on social media. Yeah, I'm ready to play
this one myself. I enjoyed the demo that I played
when they sent out a preview code, a preview build,
and I played several hours of it at that point,
and that one was like midway through the game, and
they kind of simplified some stuff so you could just
get right into the action. But I really enjoyed what
I played, and specifically the combat. I thought the combat
was so engaging, and I've seen a lot of that
from the responses of people saying, this is the best
RPG combat I've ever had, and I'm like, I can
definitely see that, just because one, there are so many
mechanics in there in terms of like, no, they have everything,
they have the menus, they have sort of a loop
of one attack leading into the next attack. Then there
is the timing based stuff of like let's time and
attack to get to do more damage. Then there's real
time elements of like just aim a gun and pull
a trigger and that leads into something else. And it's
like there's a lot of stuff, but it's all very good.
And that's like, so it's not just the kitchen sink.
It is like, no, this is like the high quality,
top tier stuff across the board. So yeah, I'm ready
to spend some time with this one, and I think
it's just gonna I think it's gonna pop off like crazy.
Speaker 2: And what I love, too, Jeff, is why here's I
see people saying like thirty hours to beat, which just
that used to be the standard for these jarrpgees are
jerrpg likes, and that was kind of perfect. And look,
there's a lot of good jearbigies that are really long,
but almost all of them like even with metaphor. But
I'm like, why are these eighty to an hundred hour
long now? So that like thirty hours, Like yeah, that
sounds brisk, let's go. Yeah, it's so it's thirty hours
made by like thirty people, and it's unreal engining. I think, uh,
one person per hour. They just split it up to
Visional Labor, very fair, and it's it's also like a
discounted price. It's like I thought it's like forty or
fifty dollars, right, it's like.
Speaker 3: Fifty dollars or something. But it's on game yeah too.
Speaker 1: Right right, it's on game Pass fifty dollars. So it's
not even like a full price game, quote unquote, And
so I think they're like, well, you know, it's only
thirty hours, we're not going to charge full price. I'm like, well,
you definitely should have still just charged full price because
it's a game of your Contender, but whatever, Hey, people
should take the money where they can get it. And
so it's like I just think this is them position
in it as like, hey, we do have a smaller team.
We're going to focus on a handful of stuff, and
the one place we're gonna pair back is the length
of the entire game. And it's like, oh, yeah, that's
the place that's the one to do it. Cut back
there and make everything else awesome and no one's gonna complain.
Maybe some people, but I just think it's probably gonna
be really replayable. Like I don't know, I think people
are just gonna fall in love with all the choices
they made here, so very cool to see.
Speaker 2: It's cool, and I yeah, I think it's gonna be
a big hit, and I hope it's a big hit,
and I hope maybe certain other companies that used to
make games like these notice and start asking why didn't
we make this right?
Speaker 3: Like why didn't we take some of this? Why don't
we do that?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 3: I don't know, you think there's hope there?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I've seen some backlash to people immediatelying like, hey,
this is what Final Fantasy should be, But I think
this is what Final Fantasy should be, So sorry, I
definitely have like the second I played it. First of all,
it does feel like the game is very inspired by
Final Fantasy ten and Final Fantasy thirteen, and I think
that you kind of can't get away from that. That's
what they're going for with this take on the genre.
They have admitted that. So when you kind of look
at Square EnEx SQUERENINGX is like, let's try to do
this massive breadth of content and gameplay styles, and it's like,
I don't know, if you just kind of get a
few things right, people aren't going to need you to
have a big open world now, not that they have
a bad open world, but it's just I don't know.
I think that maybe just kind of pairing things down
a little bit, coming back down in terms of scale
and focusing really hard on the Final Fantasy ass Final Fantash. Yeah,
that is what I would want to see.
Speaker 3: It's exciting.
Speaker 2: Like I said, even though I'm not gonna get from
Final Fantasy right now, I'm happy that we do have
all these people doing It's awesome to see a team
of this size be able to do it and just
somehow hit it out of the park immediately. It sounds like, again,
very excited to play this. Hopefully next week everyone, I'll
have some of my own thoughts about it. It's a
game that I should have had time to play, but again,
it's just been really busy. So sorry, I can't tell
you what I think of it. As the JARPG guy,
I'm a little embarrassed, but I will get to it too,
and I promise.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm looking forward to see what you think
about it. Yeah, there's just some quick reviews at nightingaloturo
Gamer gave it four stars and said it's bold, it's bold,
and it's painterly. World comes to life. Richard Winkling at
game Spot gave it a nine out of ten said
Clear Obscure Exhibition thirty three is a phenomenal RPG telling
a heartbreaking tale while incorporating thrilling action into its tactical
turn based combat. And dom Pepiot at V twenty four
to seven gave it five stars. It says they say
art is all about eliciting, eliciting an emotional reaction. If
you can do that, all the effort expended in creating
it was worth it. I think Clear Obscurity does that
with a plume. If you have ever loved role playing
games ever, you owe it to yourself to play this.
It has the capacity to touch you, to touch you. Yeah,
it's gonna touch me. It's gonna touch you, Mike, Yeah, okay,
I allow it. The French are just kind of like that, huh.
The confrints are like that, and a peach thread. Of course,
I've seen mottitudes. I've seen Pepe. I wonder if they
wonder if they would find that offensive like the or
at this point, is it just kind of funny to
make a reference to pepe Lepu and the French people.
I liked it well.
Speaker 3: As long as they popped to you, Jeff, that's all
that matters.
Speaker 1: I'm the only one listening, all right, Oblivion Shadow dropped
that that did happen. It was, uh, hey, it really
is very popular, like to one hundred and eighty thousand.
It's probably more than that at this point, or it
will be this weekend, but one hundred and eighty thousand
concurrent players, and I'm I'm still pretty excited about it,
although I you know, I have the conflict conflicted emotions
about the BDS boycott and stuff like that, obviously, but
I'm also gonna admit that I am drawn to this game,
and I'm battling that personally. I'm doing what I can there,
but I don't know, I really want to play it,
so it's tough. I'm just I think this game just
kind of hit the mark in a really hard way,
because this is this is the kind of thing that
could be so easily falling into a bunch of pitfalls,
of disappointing people in a variety of ways or messing
something up and everyone's mad at it. And I just
haven't heard any of that I mean maybe it's out there.
I'm sure it's out there, but it's not become the
dominating narrative around it. So that's nice to see that
this game just seems to have done what people wanted
from a remaster, although I think we both consider it
a remake.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, and yeah, that's a whole other conversation. But
you know, I have been playing at Jeff, and I
am pretty impressed and I'm pretty happy with it. It
really is just Oblivion and whatever those tweaks are, it's
been so long since side played Oblivion, I would never know.
It just feels good and it looks good, and there's
still that like Oblivion jank in the right places, like
the way the characters just kind of awkwardly walk up
to each other and start talking in a way that's
still cool because you do like get side quest markers
from listening to their side conversations and the way they
talk to you and their faces move kind of funny,
but they look better now.
Speaker 4: Es.
Speaker 2: This was always a really good game, and giving it
this face left just giving me an excuse to go
back to it. It's still impressive, the density of this game.
Right when you get out of those tatorial area. It's
like go to this first little abbey and you find
like you can see five different things on your way there,
and then when you get there to this abbey, yeah
there's a main quest, but we just go inside this
town and you find like three or four interesting other
quests and then the fighters go it and just all
of these different threads start unraveling. It is such an
impressive game. It was such a smart decision to remake
last remaster this game, and to do it in this way.
Speaker 1: Yep, And it's uh, you know, I think them popping
off with this and then kind of taking like continuing
to work with Virtuos, going to fall Out three, fall
Out New Vegas hopefully like what there'd be no reason
not to do it at this point, then kind of yes,
and then expanding out and be like all right, now
that we have a foundation and are making a ton
of money from this stuff, take that money, Virtuous, Now
go do the same thing to the older form of
the engine with morowind and then and then actually start
they'll probably start like looking forward Fallout for like just yeah,
copy Capcom, remake, remaster all your stuff one way or another.
Speaker 2: So is there any chance they're not working on Fall
three right now. If they were now, I don't three
days ago than they are right now. I mean, come on.
Speaker 1: It's just such the obvious way to like keep Fallout
in people's minds is like, all right, we have we
have this partnership with Virtuos. It was incredibly lucrative for
everyone involved. If they're gonna want more money, so be it.
Here's more money, go do Fallout three now. So yeah,
I do hope so that that's happening.
Speaker 3: And I love Fall three.
Speaker 2: Fall three is really the first like Western RPG I
really got into talking because, like, am I my three
sixty years pretty late?
Speaker 3: But I guess it was.
Speaker 2: Also quite a while ago. But I would love to.
Speaker 3: Play it again.
Speaker 2: Hang out with my dad Liam Neeson, take the goats
beat up that weird like Fonsie Jerk character.
Speaker 3: Great.
Speaker 1: Yeah. People in chatter are saying that it was in
the court documents, which I think the Oblivion remake was
in there as well, So I think we could probably
take that to be like at least at one point
they were talking about it, and there's no reason to
assume that they would not be following that. No, in fact,
it feels.
Speaker 2: More likely now than usiastic about it now than ever.
Then of course, yeah, let's do New Vegas too. Of course,
you know, like why wouldn't you You you own the
company that made that. Also, it's your IP, and then
yeahmar went's a little trick year to figure that out too.
Let's just do it all baby.
Speaker 1: Last night I hung out in a stream with Mike
Manatti on twitch dot tv slash Tokota where we tried
to secure switch to pre orders. That was a lot
of fun. I thought you did a great job at
that stream, Mike. It was a good I wish there
were more console launches so we could do that more frequently.
We played some Mario Kart, and then at about eleven
pm Eastern time, we all kind of like, all right,
let's get settled in. Let's get our credit cards, like
logged into these systems and stuff like that. Get the
shipping update, Nikki Grayson, what's your what's your address? All
that stuff, and midnight happened, and it was it was.
It was a mess. It was a real mess for
about an hour and a half to two hours of
everyone trying to get a pre order of the first
casualty was Target. It went down and crashed and burned.
Speaker 2: Real quick as it took a lot of orders and
then canceled them immediately, and people were getting the cancel
confirmation first and then the old outdated like oh you
got one email afterwards.
Speaker 3: It was bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was happening to people. I was watching
Jake Randall's stream while we were doing it, same thing
happened to him, and I was like trying to explain
his chat, like, yeah, we think those are all just canceled,
don't worry about that. But so we kept trying and
eventually everyone on your stream, Mike was able to get
a switch to, including the both of us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think a lot of people watching were
also successful. It actually is a good way of doing it,
just having a group people support each other and mentioning
when like hey, because best Buy just took forever for
that pre order button to light up and be clickable,
so knowing when that was happening right away, just knowing, hey,
like you're not crazy, stay in that queue for Walmart
that will eventually like pay off.
Speaker 3: And that's how I got mine. It was through Walmart,
Dame that I got.
Speaker 1: Both eventually, but Walmart first Yeah, it was just it was.
Speaker 2: Actually just really fun doing it that way, and like
the hangout was great and gosh, so many people showed up.
Speaker 3: It's wild.
Speaker 2: I think at one point Mary Cashbay have put me
on the front page or something because there were a
lot of people, and I think a lot of people
just excit.
Speaker 3: I gets what shoes.
Speaker 2: But it was it was a ton of fun. It
was great having all of you there, my brothers, So
that was an amazing, an amazing evening and I'm glad
we got to go through that gar. You know, it's
like I miss the midnight launches, but that was almost
a little bit of that feeling again, tension and like,
you know, even this is like anxiety right because it's like, oh,
is it really going to be there? So, yeah, that
was a ton of fun and I'm very relieved I
have one. It is coming, very excited, Jeff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I definitely. You know, as always saw some
backlash to this as well, where it's like, boy, people
are really like going kept causing themselves this much anxiety
to spend five hundred dollars on something that really says
something about these people. And I'm like, yeah, I get that,
but I gotta say, I am happy to have a
hobby where I am dying to give something money so
I can have it and keep enjoying the hobby. Like
that makes me feel connected to something. And it's like
it's crass and capitalistic, but we live under that system
and it's unavoidable, and if at the very least for
as cold blooded of a company as Nintendo is, I
do kind of put them in a category of cold
blooded capitalists, but not like do anything to make a
buck capitalist. It is, let's make a good product that
people want and then we'll make money. And yeah, okay,
you know, Tomato Tomato. That's how I feel about it personally,
And so I feel not great, but I'm at least
relieved also that I have one, because I just I
just want to play these games. It makes me happy
and I think it's worth this in the end, we'll see. Yeah, Christian,
what's that your point?
Speaker 4: You're not Yeah, you're not buying This is not a
frivolous You're not buying like five thousand dollars sneakers. You know,
this is a console that you share with your friends
and it's a hobby.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it keeps me connected to other people, my kids.
It's going to be a family purchase. It's uh yeah, exactly,
and that I got. I do have the two, and
I'm gonna if I if I if one doesn't get
canceled or you know, hopefully I can just keep one.
But if one gets canceled, great, I have the other one.
If they both go through, I'm probably gonna give the
other one to my nephew for graduation. Like I'm like, hey,
that that and I'm like really looking forward to that.
That's gonna feel real good. So yeah, it's crass capitalistic,
but yes, I just love to have a hobby like this.
It's nice.
Speaker 2: I was just at Dick's Sporting is good. You know
how much golf club's costs, right, So did you buy some?
Because I no I was buying. I was looking at
Jim Schartz for the Disney trip and I spent too
much also, trust me. So they have a little bit.
Speaker 3: Get that that's important.
Speaker 1: Walmart's got like a cheap starter golf club set. I'm like,
I should just get that and use that. I don't know,
I don't I just turned forty a few years ago,
and now I just think about golfing a lot it's bady.
Speaker 2: What I was watching golf last couple weeks. There's there's
some good golf. The Masters is great. Then on Eastern
there's some tournament in Hilton Head and that was great.
That was also down to a playoff. I was just like,
I kind of like watching golf. I like golf looking
on really well manicured lawns and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's like an environmental disaster and I hate it,
but I also love watching it. Think about it.
Speaker 4: It's just like, no instinctly where North is and hope
to fly they wit man knows where the golf clubs
are in.
Speaker 2: This Christian Jeff's kid is popping off. Oh you guys
can't see it. You missed it, Jeff. Wow, she was
popping off. I've never seen her so impressive. What happened?
Speaker 1: Uh? A Goat Stimulator three, which they should be done playing.
They should be getting ready for bed. But Goat Simulator three.
They've been playing at split screen all day basically, and
occasionally like one of the controllers will die and then
it goes from the two players split screen to one
player and then they struggle to get it back to
two players. You kind of have to like make sure
it's online and hold down the X button and then
you got to be signed into the guests account and
all this stuff, and she can't do it by herself,
so she came down here to yell at me and
ask for help, and I'm like, you're on your own,
and honestly, go to bed, you damn heathen. It's yeah,
go to sleepy hippie. Yeah exactly. But that game has
a lot of fun to watch. They have a good
time out there. They have just time with it. They
just kind of tell stories and then they find they
kind of stumble across stuff. And the cool thing about
that game is they just burn every idea they had,
so it's like and the every idea is baked into
like one of these collectibles you can get, and that's
all gear and equip equippable items, and so you'll get
like this alien UFO that crashed and then you go
ahead butt that and explodes a bunch of goo and
you find the goo and it gives you a little
alien that sits on your head. And then that's what
caused the big head mode basically to happen. And now
they're just having fun with that and it's like that
will be something that keeps them entertained for an hour,
two hours, and when they get bored with that, they'll
find something else that is another sort of variation on
an idea like that, and it's just kind of just
this endless bounty of fun for them. So really pressed
by goats simulator three all right, uh, Mike, let's uh,
let's see here, switched to pre orders. We got him.
It was nice. Actually it was a headache. But honestly,
everyone on our stream able to get one. I'm surprised
by that. I think I expected to be more of
a blood bath than it actually was.
Speaker 2: I was like hoping it was gonna be real easy,
and like it was just gonna turn midnight, We're all
gonna push a button get one, and it wasn't that.
And then for a bit I was like, oh, this
might be a complete disaster and almost no one gets one.
But some perseverance there did work. We all eventually pulled
through there, and there were still backups. A lot of
people were able to do GameStop today online. A lot
of people had successes going to the store. Did you
see we rated kind of funny when when I watched yeah,
bike Mike was like already camping out for you know,
for you know, waiting last night for eleven am today
in San Francisco. It's just him, like a couple other people,
just sitting in this parking lot with really nobody there.
Speaker 1: That was incredible, no bike exactly. I say this with
all the love. It so important for a team like
kind of funny to have their childless, like trash person
that will just do anything. And that's snow blike Mike,
and I love him for it. He's so good. I'm like,
I'm jealous. I'm like, I wish I could have that life.
Snoke like, that's awesome. You'd be out there do your thing.
Oh my god, all right, Micky oilarious sake, snow it.
Mike even already got one last night too. He just
wanted to go get it. I like, hell exactly. Yes,
that rules. God, that's even better. Man.
Speaker 3: I've thought some of the all night things before. It's fine. Yeah,
good time. I wish I could just a good time.
Speaker 1: It'll it'll be a great memory. And I'm glad he
was streaming that. That was a lot of fun, all right, Mike.
Uh we I think I was anticipating a lot of
super chats. We're getting a ton of super chats, so
we're probably not gonna do a segment tonight. How about
we just read a bunch of super chats, see what
the people want to talk about. Let's do that, all right,
Let's take a quick break. We'll come back and we'll
get right into those right after this. Everybody, all right,
we're back. It's game. Mess decides. Let's read some super chats.
Speaker 2: Mike, all right, Selim mcausam says on fire Escape, you
all were talking about ranking religions, So when are we
getting on Mount rushmore of religions? Pop that one off
real quick, right, Scientology first.
Speaker 1: Scientology, Yes, Washington Mormonism, but just the ones that have
the like the conclave or the enclaves what are those
called where they have a big protected compounds. Yes, just
the form of Mormonism with compounds. I was like Taoism, Taoism, yes,
some of one of the ones where I'm like wait
what is this? And SIV and then Shinto Yeah.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I like this all right, So there you know,
all the other religions are bad. Big fresh thirty cent says, guys,
everything good. We're worried heart I mean, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, it's not maybe as bad as it seems,
but it's all it's just it's very frustrating. Uh and uh,
I'll you know, I've felt a little disrespected and and
big part of it is about a month ago, I
said one thing and I felt very confident and then
kind of had the rug pulled out from underneath me,
and things are very different, to the point where I
am embarrassed by the decisions that the company's made, and
it's put me in a position where it's like the
thing I said a month ago doesn't apply anymore. Now
it might apply again, but in this moment, it has
made me feel very like a lot of whiplash and
very frustrated with the people above, the people above, the
people who told me what was going on, making decisions
that have now made it feel like they don't even
know who I am and they're fucking around with my
work like this. It's frustrating, but it's it's again. It's
not doomsday, and if it is, I'll let you know.
And if it is, don't worry. We'll we'll you know,
like for example, we're never going to stop doing Blake
Club like you can rely on that like that, one
way or another, that's going to happen forever, so just
hang in there. We'll have to do it on our own.
We will just kind of hanging there with us for that,
so don't worry.
Speaker 2: Got each other's back, so you know, we'll get through
this one way or another. Yep, all right, DEROCHI says,
no matter what, gay mess is forever game.
Speaker 3: Message for life, I think.
Speaker 2: But thinking about that, used to say, you know, bullet
clothes for life, and I think they were lying. A
lot of those people don't see new friends anymore in
wrestling now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, NW still shows up, but it's usually just the
three of them now, So that wasn't for life for
a lot of them either.
Speaker 2: What about all those other people at WO that was
literally not for life? I think every week they kicked
people out of it exactly, Ricky B. So sorry for
suggesting that Daisy is a thought. Love you guys, Long
live the mess, Ricky B says. My Roman Empire were
those code Tour online Swell Tour. That's right, cinematic trailers.
If I were in Disney, I would legit try to
get those adaptive film Please watch them if you haven't. Oh,
they were great.
Speaker 1: Your member watching these, Yeah, he's a really good Oh.
Speaker 2: Well done. I think it was that studio that did
a lot of these, right, they did, like the Halo
two ones and whatnot. They just did really good CG
videos and those were so freaking up.
Speaker 3: I like tour was good.
Speaker 2: I wish it was even more though, because there was
something there. And yeah, the cinematics. Whenever you watch the cinematics,
you would get very hyped up for the idea of
playing a game like that. Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's definitely kind thing where it's like I should
eventually look into this. I never did, but it was
very appealing to me.
Speaker 3: Next up is from Jamie Hart. Again. It says, is
the Ship of Theseus a remake or a remaster?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I would call it a remaster, but I guess
I don't know.
Speaker 4: That's a good point.
Speaker 1: I guess it's yeah, I guess, yeah, most new parts.
Speaker 2: In fact, it's all new parts.
Speaker 1: It's all new parts, right, eventually it's all new parts.
So I guess that would be a remake.
Speaker 2: Man, I think these days are calling that a remister
maybe ye epinadi Eater says, donating to the stacked Halo
with chips fun.
Speaker 3: That's what you guys spend all the super chat money on.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, Now I got three of them. Okay,
you gotta give me one of those.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, So I thought, I think I bought this one,
and it was because it's still wrapped, which I thought
was pretty exciting to keep that. And then someone sent
me two more. I can't someone I mentioned they were
gonna send me and I can't remember who it was, right, uh,
but but yeah, I finally went downtown today and got
my mail from our our office down there are you know,
remote virtual office and this was here of a copy
of nubes.
Speaker 2: As well for people who don't know. Stacked is a
PS two poker game where the back of the box
quote is from Maxim magazine and it says Halo with chips.
Speaker 1: I also, I got bad news. I opened up there
should be a big box. Talking to the guy that
like does this virtual office thing, like there should be
a big boxing kind of hands me one. It's like
kind of a little bit larm small. I wonder if
that people didn't come. And I opened up the box
and it said bad news. You're fifteen inch pepo sold out.
So Dan got the last one, so instead we're sending
you a five inch pepo. Uh, so I've got a
I got a shriveled pepot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's you know, sizes and everything. Jeff, it's okay,
fair enough.
Speaker 1: How you use the pepo for sure?
Speaker 3: Yes, how you use the pipot all right?
Speaker 2: Lex lasas Uh sending you all love, thank you for
all you do you fuck those are the best pee

says if capitalism takes out blike club, I'm gonna lose
my shit. Love you guys, keep up the good work
like literally, don't go anywhere, or I will unravel again
like bike Club won't. Bike Club won't end anytime soon
for any reason I can possibly perceive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's sort of just been a lucky cosmic fate
that we get paid to do that. If we have
to figure out how to do it on our own,
we will, but we would do it kind of no
matter what Yep.
Speaker 2: Absolutely a good old fashion YouTube crash just happened. Give
me a moment here, all right, here we go. Kyle
Turner says, hoope, all as well. I thought the beef
and Cheddar boys might need a little extra cheddar tonight.
Thanks for I'll let you do. I appreciate you all.

I believe, says, I just want to say thank you
to both of you and to all the Giant Bunk
crew for being the great people that you are. We
love you all and will follow you anywhere. Thank you, Jose,
I really appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jose.
Speaker 2: Kittie kat Man I three says, did you guys watch
the new digit Know gaming video on Eastern European game
clones in the mid nineties. Evidently there was a super
popular Doctor Mario clone in Serbia called Doctor Mabalshik. Then
there's some some uh letters here and listener language that
I assume is penis. I'm gonna just assume that means penis.
Speaker 1: That's probably a good guess.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Jeff, I bet that this sounds way up
your alley.
Speaker 3: Frankly, Yeah, that sounds awesome.
Speaker 1: Actually, in fact, I'm gonna go watch this video and
then I'm gonna go find as many nineties Eastern European
game clones as I possibly can. That sounds fantastic.
Speaker 3: Did you know gaming is so neat?
Speaker 2: Because like I feel like at first it was relatively
just like we got some popular game YouTuber to spin
out these facts with googled about whatever game.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because they're like investigating and then covering all
this new stuff. It's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like they've like someone clearly that they talked to
from Rare all the time, who used to work at Rare,
and they just get all kinds of great stuff about
that studio specifically. I really love did you know Gaming? Now?
Speaker 2: Next up is Dark Steel. Brush Wager says, thanks for
the stream last night. That was the most fun I've
ever had pre ordering a console given the rest of
pre order. Do you think swhich too is set up
to be an all timer a consolesale pete bo. It's
there's so much excitement around those pre orders always. Hey,
I remember how exciting and how well the Dreaming Cast
sold at launch, right yep. So it's hard to total
long term, but there's definitely a very ravenous fan base
that is ready to get this thing on day one,
and that's enough for me to be excited and have
a good time.
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, I think there's a it's going to do
very well in that first year. After that, who knows.
Speaker 3: Next up is that?
Speaker 2: Boy? Jerry, Thanks for all the wonderful content throughout the years.
You two are awesome. Love the pawn and keep up
the great work. Sean and Christian grabbing micro too. I

I get to tickle your ears Jared absolutely, yes, and.
Speaker 1: I've worked that job for a very long time, Jared,
So I'm glad we're hanging out with you and keeping
you company.
Speaker 2: Signon from Saskatchewan says, have you seen the image of
the tasteless Mick D's ad in Cornwall, UK?
Speaker 3: Good luck?
Speaker 2: You haven't no idea what you put an ad? Their
thoughts on the draft so far. I looked this up
Jeff earlier and they put up a mic crispy ad
by a crematorium sign.
Speaker 1: Oh Jesus Christ, holy shit.
Speaker 3: Pretty good?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 3: Pretty good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty good stuff.
Speaker 2: I haven't been paid attention to the draft though.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I'll peek in and I'll get my thoughts
if I have any. I probably will not.
Speaker 3: And VISs love you all, love you two and vice
think you think thank you?
Speaker 2: Uh sorry, saskatchewants back sing ever play Amazing Tater rarer
game Boy game. No, but I like the idea of
a game starring a Potato if that is indeed?
Speaker 3: What is going on there?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Uh, what's it called? It's called the Amazing, Amazing, just
amazing Tater. I don't think I don't think there's the
article there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't see.
Speaker 2: It's not the amazing taser. He's just a amazing tater.
Speaker 1: He Yeah, I'm assuming that this is a dizzy. Is
that the name of the egg? I'm assuming this is
a dizzy the egg ripoff?
Speaker 3: No, it's not.
Speaker 2: In fact, that Japan is just called puzzle Boy two.
I also seems to have gotten good reviews. So I
bet it's one of those like top down, like quote
unquote puzzle games, but your movies. I bet it's like
it's like a Cubic Kit, Kickle Cubic Core whatever that game.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, Kickle Cubicle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of those, or like a Fire and Ice
or Solomon's Key, one of those kind.
Speaker 1: Of Oh sure, yeah, totally okay.
Speaker 2: This is my guess, though, h Simon from back again
Thinking Simon says, oh, twenty dollars. I wanted a peanut toy.
Dollars can buy many peanuts. Explain how might keep exchange
are goods and services? What's your favorite Simpsons bit?
Speaker 3: I got my it she.
Speaker 2: Scratching a Pouci shirt on right now and I bought
the shirt for mama just new but I didn't know
it's on the back it has the Spoocy died on
his way back to his planet, like letters thing. So
that's pretty good. I think about that one a lot.
I do think about Seam TAM's a lot, Jeff. I
am not gonna lie. It's a little similar in me,
but left quite a bit.
Speaker 1: It's good stuff. Yeah. I was just watching an episode
of Simpson. I was watching the Stonecutters episode, and the
bit I always think about is it's because they played
the Stonecutters episode on September eleventh after it happened, and
the Homer tries to do good by painting a building,
but he paints a sky blue, so a helicopter crashes
into it. And as soon as soon as that happened
on that day, they like pulled the episode and put
on a different Simpsons episode. And that was the one
where Marge was afraid of flying. And I know I've
told that before.
Speaker 2: But at that point you got past the awkward sea.
It's not like they're going to do it twice.
Speaker 1: I know, Yeah, Mike, what do you even think it?
But they're like do something to do something. It was.
It was weird.
Speaker 2: Lad at fifth says, not me, closing shut the jaws
of Oblivion with a bunch of crying living emojis. Brian
Lally says, appreciate you. We appreciate you too, Brian, thank you.
Mikey O'Leary says, love you boys here, get yourself an
ice cream.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Mikey, Thank you.
Speaker 4: Dad.
Speaker 3: I actually thought.
Speaker 2: About getting ice cream when I was out, and I
was like, what am I like the King of England
getting ice cream some kind of decaded dandy, like come
on right, and it's like.
Speaker 1: It's like just barely spring. I guess it's a month
into spring, but it still feels you're right decadent.
Speaker 2: It was a little warm today though, might have been nice.
Scott Robertson joined the Lincoln Tier here on YouTube, So
thank you so much, Thank you, Scott. Matt Susa says,
got the stitches on my hand today, Mike On behalf
of everyone. Please don't tell the garage door dog story
ever again. Hey, look, I held on to it for
a while. It was clearly a bottom of the barrel story,
okay yea.
Speaker 1: In total, like five hundred episodes into all this stuff
between the two podcast.
Speaker 2: Like, it had to come up eventually some day, as
comes worst is gonna comes to everybody, So just buckle up.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: Oh no, Breno trigger, Brendo trigger says a loocky boom
boom down.
Speaker 3: That's from that song I know how to sing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, how is there's a way to put it? Sure?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Gwen the Hunters has finally got my switch to
pre order in person at game stop, an old lady
Joe bining out.
Speaker 3: Is that the line for a smash Purger?
Speaker 2: And someone said, yes, oblivinous, he's pretty good. That reminds
me of that good joke from the from the Muppets
that the movie where there's foreign tourists or at the
Muppet studio tour and they asked the tour guy is
this Universal Studios? He like looks down the ground and
shame and goes, yes, it is. It makes their money.
Next up here is from a band er s n Grass.
Everyone who got their pre order a question, what might
consider Broke Back Mountain a spaghetti western?
Speaker 1: Wow? There's layers to that one. Not everyone's gonna get that?
Speaker 2: Okay for me to read that?
Speaker 1: Wow, thank you listen, you were paid, you couldn't, you
were coerced. It's all right, Oh my god, wow, there's
nothing wrong about it.
Speaker 3: It's lacky.
Speaker 1: That's funny, dude, It's funny.
Speaker 3: Pretty funny.
Speaker 2: WHOA Okay, next one is high score says, here's the
game mess and now the road to switch to hope
all is okay? What is your most hyped first party game?
I am such a Metroid guy, Jeff, and I'm very
excited for that. But boy, Donkey Kong Bonanza just seems
so interesting and I love all the destruction stuff, and
it's from the team that made one of my favorite
games ever and Mario Odyssey presumably, so it might it
be Donkey Kong over Metro Prime four right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know me, it's all switched to
Welcome party over here. I want to guess the frame rate,
let's go. No, I am definitely finding myself just thinking
about Mario Kart way more than I thought I would.
I just I'm like man driving around that world discovering stuff.
Sounds like such a good time. So right now, that's
actually the top of the list everything is. I mean,
I just can't wait to play Donkey Kong Metroid All
that stuff just looks so good. So it's all kind
of like a tie for first place in a lot
of ways. But yeah, Mario Kart is up there right
now for.
Speaker 2: Me Zacy Zacy says, had to drive two hours to
the city I live in the sticks because at eleven
fifty five my internet went out.
Speaker 3: Wow, honestly, brick and mortar is superior in.
Speaker 2: This exact situation. Yeah, that's scary there, that's scary there.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Everyone's kind of saying, like when they did go to
games Stop today, it's like that was the best way
to do it. And I just think that's because so
many people had already done it online that you were
gonna just have a better chance there the next day.
Speaker 3: But it was always scary because like, well, you're skipping
out intentionally on one method of trying to get right right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you treated it as a backup was probably
the best best plan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, ol Grug says Informer, you know, say daddy me
snow me, I go blame I licky boom boom down.
Don't know what this means, but send me some love. Nonetheless,
Uh panicio.
Speaker 1: I know that is also the lyrics of the song
Informer that I know, yeah by Snow that he knows,
but yes, you know it's by Snow because he says
that word in there he does. He says his name yep,
and he says, no, say daddy me snow, so don't call
him daddy.
Speaker 2: That's snow licky boom boom down. Of course, when the
Hunter says, hope you all are okay at Giant Palm
and Game Spot, tell Jane and quit smoking. If he
uses cigarette money for super chest, a stead like me
might not work though, cause nicotinis nicotinas. He just they
just combined nicotine with penis.
Speaker 1: Jeff, Yeah, listen, it's an addictoustrikes away from it.
Speaker 2: Danger says, so thankful Giant Bomb introduced me to YouTube. Yeah,
shoots to anybody who did find us absolutely Giant Bomb, right.
Speaker 3: That's always really cool.
Speaker 2: Uh it's been you know, I know some of our
people went you know, went over there, but I think
a lot more people that introduced us to a really
big audience on a Giant Bomb and elsewhere. So I
really appreciate anybody who found us that way.
Speaker 1: Yep, for sure.
Speaker 2: Super Plastic says, whatever happens, I'll be there with you dudes.
Thanks as always, even last night was a fun stream
lots of love. Thank you so much, super Plastic really
appreciate you always. Happy seeing you around it. So you
know it's neat deaf. We know all these names pretty
much are familiar, right, We have a very ye. I
don't want to say loyal because that's suggest loyal to
our podcast, right, but you know we have people who
you know, they show support and it's appreciated.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and even the people that have come through over
the years, maybe fallen off for whatever reason. We appreciate everything.
Just anytime you've listened to the show ever has been great.
Speaker 2: Next up, well, that boy Jerry joined the Lincoln here.
Thank you, that boy Jerry. I really appreciate that.
Speaker 3: Itkey says game Blake domain is available. I love you all.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Zepic Raches, I love the Christian and the boys.
There you go, Christian Lola, love for you. Thank you.
Speaker 4: Not doing the the Cape pop heart within my fingers,
No no, no, with the with the tomb and the
in the index, no no this one no no.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't I don't know, okay.
Speaker 3: Next up, as Edgar Marino says, would you eat grapes whole?
Speaker 2: Do you freeze them? I also say the Wolves is
just okay? What's it felt better to play? PSP? Yes,
that's pretty good.
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.
Speaker 2: I don't eat grapes whole. I just say I would.
I guess I'd rather they be frozen so that all
the gross liquid is at least kind of a solid
instead of like potentially exploding my mouth. Yeah, rather they
drop like rocks down there, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, oh okay, I don't get it. Potentially exploding
in your mouth. Like, yeah, that's a danger you got
to put up with grapes. I get it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's risky.
Speaker 2: T McCallen says, I spent last couple of months beating
Dragon Quest three, four, five, six, seven, eighty nine while
watching Mike's Dark Souls of Odds. Thank you. I really
appreciate that. That's fun I played. I've played three, five, seven, uh,
and then parts of eight and nine. I'd like to
play more of those. That's I bet. I bet after
this one or two remake, they'll do four remake for sure,
because that was also a Famicom Era one, and that's
that'll be my way of finally playing that one.
Speaker 3: So that'd be fun.
Speaker 2: YouTube crush again, Jeff, isn't it just the best?
Speaker 1: With that it's really really handy.
Speaker 4: You have to understand they don't have to even fix it.
Speaker 1: Though, because it really doesn't cause any problems.
Speaker 2: Christian Jess says, Hey, guys, not to inflate your heads
too much, but you guys rule your reporting has generally
made me understand the industry in deeper ways and appreciate
you guys. That's all.
Speaker 3: Take care guys. Thank you so much, Christian, I really
appre it.
Speaker 1: Thanks Christian Jensen, that's very nice to say. We appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Wellough Davis says, Target is saying switch to estimate delivery
is June sixth through eleventh. Hope it changes. Target supporter
is not helping at all. Can't really complain though, I
got one. Yeah, it is weird that it would say that.
I maybe it's just some covering their ask me. It's
just the way their system works. I bet you're still
most likely to go on the six but hey, you
have an order. At least the five days isn't that long.
Speaker 1: Right, And it's like, uh, there's still a lot of
chances for everything to go wrong with any of these
stores where it's like okay, yeah, everyone's like Walmart was
the goose goaded it worked really well. Invest buy and
can go to hell it broke down, but like, wait
until delivery day, let's see who actually gets out. There's
switch to is in a timely manner because that stuff
could still break or go really wrong, So there's still
plenty of opportunities for us to get mad at these companies.
Speaker 2: Uh well, Dirty Ertie says, family Love Giant Bomb heard.
Thank you so much, Dirty Rearady for that generous How
does that boy, Jerry excuse me says, how does Claire
Obscure Expedition thirty three compare to the goat? Blue Dragon?
You know, I know they're being funny, but a lot
of people are comparing this to the other XBOS Odyssey, right,
h Walker gave me I lost Odyssey, which is something
that's been on my backlock forever. Blue Dragon has a
bit more of a complicated reception amongst the j RPG fans,
but still kind of want to play it someday. Hello,
Ganzas and Ors the best Star War. You've been watching
your and Or season two?
Speaker 1: Jeff, I did, yeah, kind of right away after we
got done with the Nintendogs on Tuesday, which, hey, everyone
should watch that show as well. It's our other podcast,
our Nintendo podcast. I watched the episode and I was like, oh,
we'll see how I how I'm doing. I ended up
watching all three and it's like, by the end of
the first season, I like had gone through it so
many times and like looked at everything so much that
those first episodes end up becoming my favorite after a while.
Even though there's more action and more like mesmerizing stuff
in the later episodes, they lay so much good groundwork
in those first three episodes of the first season that's like, man,
this stuff all pays off so hard, and I just
appreciate that, and I'm expecting the same thing to happen
this time. Where it's like the more I watch this
stuff and I've kind of headed on in the background
for a second watch through, a lot of stuff is
hitting hard, and I'm like, I expect this to pay
off in a big way. And there's just some excellent
work with every single one of the characters from the
first season, and they twist the knife on some other
stuff that you wouldn't expect them to, just to make
things harder on these characters. They know what they're doing.
It's really good stuff. And then you know there's even
it gets very dark in some ways and they handled
it really well because it really just is a well
crafted show, so you can kind of trust them with
even very sensitive topics. So I'm impressed by everything.
Speaker 2: I'm see Goomba says, can we be real with each other? Mike,
how envious are you looking at Jeff's smooth chest. It's
not even the chest, it's the shoulders. I could. I
haven't worn a tank top and thirty three years, I think,
maybe longer since I was twelve, I think was the
last time.
Speaker 3: I didn't even like them back then. But that's not
really an option.
Speaker 2: It'd be a real weird look right now I would
I wouldn't be happy, nobody would be happy.
Speaker 3: So congratulations Jeff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thinks I guess it's I. I usually just
wait for it to get pretty hot, but I'm like, oh,
I gotta get the laundry. So I'm like, I guess
I'm already down to the tank tops and I put
it on. It's like, oh, yeah, this is this is
not too bad. I don't mind this look.
Speaker 2: See Tingle says, if you could play on the one
video game series for the rest of your life, future
games included, what would it be? I think mine would
be Resident Evil. That would be a pretty good one,
how about you, Jeff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the question is like one game for the rest
of your life.
Speaker 2: No, no, if you only play one video game series,
for the one series future games?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, wow, then it's Super Mario Brothers for me,
like I got. I gotta be real, it's that was
the first like true loving gaming. It's been that way forever,
and that gets me both the two D and the
three D games.
Speaker 2: I think so it would only get you those too, right,
You're not getting like the Mario Parties and the Mario RPGs?
Speaker 3: Are you in the Mario correct?
Speaker 1: I don't think that's in the spirit of this question.
I think you know our mainline argument aside, it's gonna
get me the two D and the three D games. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Do you think if I say Final Fantasy that gives
me access to Final Fantasy fourteen?
Speaker 1: I think it's yeah, yeah, gets the Final Fantasy fourteen. Yeah,
but it doesn't get you like Theaterithm.
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, I would like that Theorithm. But yeah, I know.
Of course getting that MMO and all the RPGs I
like is pretty good, though It's just one kind of game.
There's gonna be a part time are maybe miss Moore
Dewey games. That's what fop physy sixteen is for.
Speaker 1: I guess then yeah, there you go get a little
bit of good combat there.
Speaker 2: It either be that or Mega Man or Mario. Honestly,
receive was not bad. That's a quick pick, right, it was.
Speaker 1: That's a good choice. Yeah, for sure. And you're right, Denzel,
that wouldn't get no Yoshian. I wouldn't take Yoshi Island.
I don't think I could.
Speaker 3: Well, because you're a man of honor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I would love to have it, and
I'll consider it part of it whatever, But I think
for this question, I would say no Yoshi's Island.
Speaker 2: Hey, I think we're about halfway through here. What we
have so far? Soon chests. Why don't we take a
quick break. We'll come back, will be right back and
read more of these.
Speaker 3: Thank you everybody.
Speaker 1: Sounds good? All right, We're back from the break, Mike.
Still plenty of super chests to get into. Thank you
everybody who's sending those in. As always, we will get
to all of them. So and that's going to be
our segment tonight, because again we were expecting this, although
It's still very kind for everyon to come through like this.
But yeah, let's keep wearing these super chats and talking
about what the people want to talk about. Mike.
Speaker 2: Nick Oliveto says, our all of Veto says, whatever happens
for you, guys, know that every single one of you
here and at Giant bomb fucking Rule, and you've been
killing it. You should all be proud, so proud of
yourselves and will support you guys wherever you are. Love
you guys and wish you the best. Thank you so much. Nick,
really really really do appreciate those incredibly kind words in
the general super chat there.
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: Yep, thank you. It's it's been fun to make that stuff.
So we're gonna try to keep doing it. We'll do
our best.
Speaker 2: Alcoholiccausts with uh, I mean, excuse me, says loved watching
the pre order a switch to stream last night while
also juggling three tabs hoping to snag one. Walmar came
through so far. Thank you for all you do. My
beef and Cheddar, oh geez much love. Thank you so much.
Speaker 3: Alcohol. I really really really do appreciate that. Thank you, Van.
It was a great time there.
Speaker 1: Yep, absolutely, thank you so much.
Speaker 2: The ten Derek says, God, I switched your pruter and
this will be the first console on buying Day one.
Any particular special Day one console release memories, man, gosh,
quite a few. Uh what's funny with like the Dreamcast.
I remember renting it for that first time more than
the day we actually bought one. I remember getting the
Saturn because they had that early release, so we were
just at the Toys r US and they had one
and we did think it was supposed to be out
yet and we were able to get one. Then there
was something about the Wii because it was such this
different thing and there was all that excitement and hype.
Getting the Wii home and actually getting to look at
and touch that control or felt very special. It was like, wow,
here it is, I actually have this thing. And that
was a great Day one.
Speaker 3: And I know I.
Speaker 2: Dunk on we Sports sometimes, but it was a lot
of fun there. You immediately had a new Zelda game,
you making Me's was really exciting at that time. So
you know, I dunk on the Wii, but that was
a very fun launch experience. Actually, yeah, we was fun,
you know mine.
Speaker 1: I've definitely told these stories before, but getting the N
sixty four on launch day was like a huge surprise
because my parents had never done that before, and so
then being like, we are gonna get this for you
on launch day, it was like this really great feeling
to be playing Mario sixty four after pining for it
for what felt like years. I'm sure it wasn't that
long and they didn't even take that long making that game,
so but just like that's all I could think about
for so long. So to get that game and just
be able to play it and right right away was awesome.
And then let's say, not too many other day ones,
but yeah, I guess the other one would have been
we and yeah, I guess you know, before day one
the switch, But yeah, in sixty four really stands out.
Speaker 2: I remember the three D S one because it was
we went to Best Buy for it and they had
all these tables set up with just all the stuff,
like all those launch games and all the accessories, so
you just kind of like go buy and like yep, okay,
like do I do I really want this or that?
Like you know, thinking about that, like and there wasn't
much really on the three DS launch actually was kind
of a week launch, but still I was exciting getting
that system.
Speaker 3: It's fun time here.
Speaker 2: You had to talk yourself into not getting steel Diver
or stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Exactly. Yes, now I'm like, I kind of wish I
had gotten steel Divers, but absolutely, you know what, Well,
I didn't get it on day one, but my friend
got it on day one, and if I sent them
a couple of options, but this is the one. The
story I hope they picked for the e GM Compendium
actual collection, but I wrote the story there. But basically
the short version. I went over my friend's house because
he was getting a Dreamcast on nine, nine ninety nine,
and we hung out. We just played Soul Caliber all day.
Was awesome, and then I drove home and that's when
I got my first car crash. Not that I've been
in a lot, but like it was a week after
I got my driver's license, so it stands out as
my first car crash. And uh, this huge gouge in
the side of my car. And I just remember thee
e GM dream Dreamcast magazine that I also had with
me because we were like going through that while we
were looking through it, and that was like sitting on
the passenger seat and like flew up and hit the
dashboard and all that stuff. So yeah, a very something
that sticks in my memory for sure.
Speaker 2: It's so I guess my first uh and so far
kno gonna win. Only speeding ticket was on the day
that we came out, because I was driving to my
friend's house to play we Sports, right, and I was
driving there and I realized I forgot my Wi Mo
that had my knee on it. So I raced back
home and I was racing back over there, and that's
when I put over, Oh jeesus. Next up is from
Dangers Year zero four seven says Damn, I said, thank folk.
Never gonna live this down. It's okay, I don't even noticed.
Speaker 3: I don't think. I think I just read it as
thankful you're five day deer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we will become the new way to say
thankful in our discord though, So you're right, you won't
ever live it down.
Speaker 2: Tody Bishop says, you now remember Blasto from PS one era.
Speaker 1: I never forgot blast though, Baby blast though all the time.
Phil Hartman, that's a pretty bad game that I like
a lot. I like Blasto a ton.
Speaker 2: It's kind of a better version of what Bubbsy three
D is.
Speaker 1: Definitely yes, it's like more refined while still having a
lot of the bad baggage of not knowing how to
make a three D game right.
Speaker 2: It's still take controls as kind of a mostly platform game.
There's more shooting in this than in Bubbzy, but all
the levels are just sort of you're in space. It
looks really.
Speaker 1: Good because of that that I could like really put
a ton of polygons into the characters and some of
the enemies and stuff like that and nothing else.
Speaker 2: Screaming Maden says, I have been a fan of Giant
Bomb since twenty ten. You all on game mess have
brought so much amazing content from Blake Club to your
tales on voicemail dump Truck. I love you all at
current Giant Bomb. Thank you so much, Screaming mad and
I really.
Speaker 1: Appreciate Screaming Maden, and I know you're an OJI, so
thanks for hanging out with us here.
Speaker 2: Johnny Boy says La Boo Boo harder to get the
switch to. I know Emmas talked about le Boo Boo
a lot. I still don't think I know what they are.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, posh, posh Mark Postmark. I can't remember what
the actual brand is called, but she did show me
La Boo boo, and I will check in with her
next time I talk to her, and uh, we'll find
out what happened and whether or not she was able
to get another one of those.
Speaker 2: I do like saying the word la boo boo.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's nice. Yeah, runs me of lubu.
Speaker 2: Luke Sparrow says, I'm a comic book artist that draws
twelve to sixteen hours a day and was ecstatic about
the power block being a big part of my workday.
Will follow wherever you go.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Luke. I had fun doing the power pluck.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, yeah, and you know, definitely part of it
is it was it was a lot we were trying
to figure things out, like to make sure it wasn't
going to kill jan So there are there's multiple moving
parts here. It's just now, you know, there was still
another rug pull beyond that that I wasn't happy with.
Speaker 2: So yeah, your Austin says had a great experience pre
ordering switched to today. They had twenty standard consoles at
forty five bundles available in store. I just felt like
a lunch waiting in line. Glad I got one. I
am glad. That seems like everybody had more of the
bundles than the base console.
Speaker 3: They really to understand that that's the one thing going
to go.
Speaker 1: For I'm not surprised by that. I think what I
was surprised was where so many people were sure there
would be so many fewer of those, And it's like
the reason they introduced that is to, like again, to
make people feel good about spending five hundred dollars. It's like,
you know, I feel like I'm getting a deal because
I'm getting Mario Kart included, and it's less money than
if I buy them separately. And the way you take
advantage of that is make sure that there's plenty of those.
So then they knew they were gonna that was of
course going to be the one that was in higher demand,
so it was right to kind of meet that. Now,
whether or not that will last, we'll see, but I
do think they'll find ways to keep bringing that back
every year. At the very least.
Speaker 2: I want to shout Spikey and Chat for seeing right
through me. I do like the word la booboo because
it sounds like what Jaffark calls Aladdin that one time
movie when he calls him Aladdin has the fake name
Prince Ali, but Jafar keeps saying it wrong, and the
one time, the best wrong way, he says Prince a
boo boo. He's like, it's time just say goodbye to
Prince a boo boo, and he says it real menacingly
and it's a very good moment in that very good movie.
Speaker 3: Next up is from Jordan. Thanks for the years of content.
Speaker 2: Boys, here's for your next Arby's run, looking forward to
more from where you both and the rest of the
GB crew wherever you are. Thank you so much, Jordan.
We really do appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I try to get Arby's today and my
kids seem to have turned not that they don't Garby's,
they just like other things more. They're very much. If
I'm gonna get food, it's Jimmy Johns. They just screamed
about Jimmy John's. They loved Josh what I know. I know,
it's like they just discovered sandwiches. It's crazy, I know.
Speaker 2: Don't get bored of that real fast.
Speaker 1: God, I know I thought so too, But it's been
it's been actually a couple of months now, and uh,
I'm not sure we'll see.
Speaker 3: That's that's interesting, Jimmy Johns, What did I guess that?
Speaker 1: Yep?
Speaker 2: Uh Nowaday says thank you all on the stream last night.
Pretty sure I got to switched you because of call
outs to try at just the right moment.
Speaker 3: Note.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels good that we hopefully helped a bunch
of people get switched toos. We're all sort of working
together there. It was fun seeing everybody shutting out like
I got mine, I got mine. It really was like, yep,
just great supporting everybody and getting it done.
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, it was. They really seem to help. I'm
I I've been through like launches like that before and
I do like lose my patience and like lose the
hope and I kind of fall off. Having everyone there
being like having that perseverance really paid off for me.
I hope it did for everyone else as well.
Speaker 2: Who says Mikey goes big time on Twitch last night
and is already going to the higher ups to get
out of his next blake club are a hope and
peepis right?
Speaker 1: They all died together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh that was a good timing though, we finished
the one episode right even that was annoying for.
Speaker 1: Man, that would man, that would have really pissed me off.
Holy shit, I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that would be a different story if they
had told us he can't club today.
Speaker 3: Even that lesson. So it was like, it's like annoying.
Speaker 2: It's like Dan can't miss this meeting and it's like why, which, well,
we're doing the job right now, we're doing this show.
Speaker 3: So that I was like, we're rushed.
Speaker 2: We're putting pressure on you, like you have to finish
the show or else Dan's gonna get in trouble and
come on, give me a break. Uh, James m d
It just gave a super chat with no message. But
thank you so much, James. I really do appreciate that.
Jess Martinez says Monster in Blue Moon is a super hack.
That's most definitely what's up.
Speaker 1: Is drinking monster energy drink? Is that what that is?
That is that a you know there's back black and blues?
Speaker 3: Is that like? What a monster in blue? And yeah,
I'm in blue.
Speaker 1: It's like a full blue moon is what that feels like?
Because it unleash a monster.
Speaker 2: No, it's an act in blue because you say act
when you see a monster because you're scared.
Speaker 1: Like okay, I like that, Like yeah, like, well play
the joke, but now you like it? No, I like
it because it making me think of a real monsters.
Even though you said act like Kathy, I still am
associated with.
Speaker 2: Monster coded llow to what's Kathy going on there? I
guess you don't say act when you see the act.
Speaker 1: You're gonna say what you want. I'm not gonna judge you.
It's a monster, you're scared.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be my last words ever. Was it you
driving one time? I think you almost got us killed
or something in the car and Dan made some really
funny NOI. I wish I could remember what it was,
but he couldn't stop thinking about how that was almost
the last noise he ever made. Was this where're like?
Whatever it meant?
Speaker 1: It sounds vaguely familiar. I don't remember being responsible for
anyone's almost death, but that is definitely possible.
Speaker 2: I barely remember it. Well, maybe it was me. I
don't think I was driving.
Speaker 3: Maybe he was driving. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Next up is Carlos Lopez. He says, I understand demand
is huge, but why is the order process still such
a message only twenty five I already got one, but geez,
phels gross saying Walmart did well. I mean, you know,
nobody has the capacity to actually handle this many people
coming in and they don't want to pay for just
these very rare occasions where these big drops happen and
then be stuck with all this unneeded you know, server
tech whatever it is. I don't know. It feels like
it should be better. The line system. I don't know
if that's a good thing or not, because I guess
you just have to have faith that the line's gonna work.
It's not of those best bylines for a while, and
I clicked on those right away, and that best Buy
just never worked for me somehow. Yeah, the Walmart one
didn't work, did come through, so it was frustrating, but
ultimately we got there.
Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, it's you know, it's just a matter of
physics at a certain point, and then, uh, is it
is it worth them to solve those issues because they're
gonna ever switch to they have, whether it's now or
another day where they're like, hey there's more available, They'll
sell every single one of those no matter what. So
where's the incentive. It's it's that simple and that stupid,
and it's not going to get better.
Speaker 2: Ever, Shiamiro says, should I pay for a wedding videographer
or switch to I just film it on my three DS?
What peripheral would make the best video for this purpose?
Penis the best peripheral for filming on your three DS?
Is there a three DS tripon, Nikki?
Speaker 1: You should definitely gang Sorry.
Speaker 5: If you are at your house and you're putting monster
energy drink in the same glass of blue moon, you
are not seeing the pearly gates like you simply there is.
Speaker 6: There is no afterlife for you. You will not see heaven.
That's just you're just resigning yourself to do eternal damnation now,
and you don't need to. There's so much worse stuff
you could do in between now and when you.
Speaker 1: Pass like a creamy box. Don't do that, don't you know?
Mormons experimentation? You're right, I didn't think about that.
Speaker 2: Speak the truth.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna try it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put a monster a monster in a blue
blue moon. I'm gonna try it.
Speaker 3: I can't do it. You drinks kill me.
Speaker 1: I don't think I like either actually all that much.
I'm not a big Blue Moon guy, and Montsa Energy
drinks is not my thing.
Speaker 2: Litm it's fine, but they always want to put like
an orange in it. And then there's paulp gets it
and I don't like paulp at all. And I hate
seeing we know Paul particles in might beer. I hate it.
Speaker 1: Disgust me everyone.
Speaker 4: I'm scared of people that drinks monster.
Speaker 3: I don't know you're scared. I think that's reasonable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, my buddy, you know, Dave Jeffy's a video
He's a wedding videographer.
Speaker 3: That's his job. That's what he does.
Speaker 2: Really, wedding season's picking up, so yeah yeah, so he,
like you know, works a lot of weekends and what off.
So I think you should pay for a wedding videographer
so people like my friend continue to have a job.
Speaker 3: That's what I think.
Speaker 1: I agree. I Also, we did the thing where I
just put a bunch of those like Kodak cameras at
every table and just told people pick it up and
record everything and whatever you want. Dumb shit. I don't care.
And I like, I liked editing that together. That was fun.
That's a good time, because then you kind of get
all the weird perspectives and fun footage you can work with.
But you your wife's probably gonna want the real videographer
a videographer, excuse me, So probably go that route.
Speaker 2: Phantom twenty three says one to shout out May's mice.
It has a demo but is released it next week,
and it's pac Man meets Vampire Survivors with super hot
time mechanics. So that's neat.
Speaker 1: That sounds good, that sounds fantastic, sounds like, my shit,
I will look into this right now.
Speaker 2: Chriss Pratt says, no matter what happens. As my good
friend the Rock says, enjoy you're gaming.
Speaker 1: That's right, or as it says up there, because I
never got one of person. See if you generally sent
me the correct one, I've never replaced it. It still
says e joy, you're gaming.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I prefer it that way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too. I don't want to change it anymore.
Speaker 2: Like every once in a while, somebody knew like points out,
like do you know that that's a spelling Yeah, it's
Rocky one right, It's like, oh, muster or muster whatever's
wrong in little bandits. It doesn't really matter. Now Rocky
was supposed to be you know, take that dismissiveness. Uh
not well it was fired him up. But to me,
I'm like, I could have done actually good point. Uh
Stinky says f capitalism go home.
Speaker 3: Thanks, that's right.
Speaker 2: Ali Miracle says, shriveled Peopo. Love you guys, Thank you,
Ali Miracle. Really appreciate all of your support.
Speaker 1: People.
Speaker 2: People is floppy. Linden Avenue says, I hate the analog
pocket os.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's not great, but it also just
doesn't it doesn't get in the way. I mean, I
guess it's you know, it's a little cumbersome, especially when
you start using the other the other cores. But I
got it to me, it sounds that you probably haven't
used the mister Os, which is way worse. So uh,
be happy for what you have there.
Speaker 2: Leavis T says, got a playdate recently and it's a cute,
clever low device, which I'm enjoying. Understand why there's not
a lot of these kind of novelty devices out there, but.
Speaker 1: I wish there was.
Speaker 2: Love you guys, peepe, I mean I never got a
playd eight Jeff I know you have one and it
broke and maybe got a new one. Is the one
dates place?
Speaker 1: Growing?
Speaker 3: Is it a growing concern for you? So growing going concern?
Speaker 1: Not not for me? No, I'm not. I'm not paying.
Although I did think about it the other day. I
was like, I would like to check back in on it,
but it's like, there's so many other things to play,
but there's new games being released for it all the time.
And the cool thing is it's like usually from devs
that are recognizable whose names. I'm like, Oh, they're making
a playday game. I should check that out.
Speaker 2: Next up is from Luke Sparrow. Also can't believe you're
faking a Giant Bump scandal to pay for all the
switches love the grift. Here's another abe they found us out.
Speaker 1: Jeff shit, God, hey we hardly got the money, so
who cares.
Speaker 2: He's got it man, Thank you look Sparo delie virus
Eva says, showing my support for you lads. Last night's
switched to pre Orsteam was great? What's the mount rushmore?
A video game pre orders? Gosh? It seems like like
like the Halo two and Halo three, those were both
very big events even for like a non Halo person
like me.
Speaker 3: Everyone is a shooter, a.
Speaker 1: Lot of shooting. Because Modern Warfare two also was this
massive thing after Modern Warfare, Yeah.
Speaker 2: That the first Black Ops also, like yeah, some of
those early Call of Duties were very very big deals
then like yeah, we we I think was huge.
Speaker 3: That was a very.
Speaker 2: Exciting one, three sixty I think about two. Actually there
was excitement for three sixty. They had that weird and yeah,
Elijah would where they're really like trying to hype up
Perfect Our zero as the next tailo, and because Call
of Duty two was also a launch game, but that
was actually the next tailo turns out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, several maddens there, yeah, doctor but Hugger
there in the early two thousands, for.
Speaker 4: Someone said Destiny. I remember being very excited about the Destiny,
me and my friends, and then the.
Speaker 2: Game time the Wedding Laker because you got just one
pre order it. You got that disc of okerin of
Time right in the mass.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just a really cool thing to pre order
right away.
Speaker 1: Right, and there was honestly was Okreen of Time right
because you if you pre ordered it, you got the
gold cartridge.
Speaker 3: And so yeah, right, and that one too. All right.
Speaker 2: Next up is from uh Driving d Van. I've been
enjoying the games pods for a while, but first time
here live. I just wanted to thank you both for
all the pod streams and general Austin as you put
on into the world.
Speaker 1: You all rule.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Driving Dvan really appreciate it. Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it's very nice, and like always, everyone should
know no matter how you listen, it's it's all great
if you're listening later on the podcast feeds, we love it.
But of course everyone tuning in live, it's great to
see that. So thanks for hanging out with us.
Speaker 2: Think he says, Mike got the Lord of the Rings
and Nys pictures Tolkoto for sure. I didn't even realize
that the two autograph things I got were the two
halves of Token Mia Moto.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right, man, that's wild.
Speaker 2: I really am that telegraphed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that. Honestly, they're just like they probably were,
like he's coming, like what do we have for him?
It's like, get out the token bullshit and the Nintendo bullshit.
Speaker 2: It makes sense why everything else was Pittsburgh's sports memorabilia
and then these two things. For some reason, ess Rex says,
fall asleep last night, look up twenty minutes after midnight,
was able to get a switch to preorders for Best Buy.
Spend this ten dollars on that game Nintendo's making that
should be free, Rex. I appreciate you. I feel much
better about buying the ten dollars. Welcome to our bullshit
thing now.
Speaker 1: I will just use that money, just Rex, just to
buy it for him, straight up, and I'll so I'll
make sure he gets it. Don't worry.
Speaker 2: Epanada eater says grubsots on and Or season two so far,
but Pino, you talked a little bit about it, but yeah,
I mean it's just.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's very good, and I expected to keep
getting better, but it's it's one where it's like still
like I'm afraid to recommend it because is this what
people want from Star Wars? It's definitely what I want
from Star Wars, but everyone seems to like it, So
it's it's been nice to see and it's just if
you like thinking about a show, there's so so so
much there to think about and stew over. So yeah,
my highest recommendations.
Speaker 2: Fantasy Frank says, just wanted to send love to two
of my favorite internet duders. Thank you, Fantasy Frank. I
really appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you Fantasy Frank.
Speaker 2: Adam Stez's fandom could Pound sand Hope you all are
doing well and get a chance to do more of
what you love.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Adam, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see. It's like, yeah, there's still a lot
of unknowns, Like like I said, new bosses, boss's boss, Like,
there's also reasons to be hopeful about that, but we
don't know, right and I guess, like you know, nothing
is certain yet.
Speaker 3: We don't know what's going to happen, and that's on
us trying to be coy.
Speaker 2: We just we really don't know what's happening right now,

Speaker 3: It's a good thing. Games Stop lasted long enough for
at least this.
Speaker 1: Huh yeah, exactly, that's what. Honestly, I bet that's usually
how they justified it, like let's just make it to
the next console launch and then we'll shut everything up.
And then they're like, well another one's coming, let's see
we can make it to switch to. Also, yes, pepsi
is the soda that sounds most like penis. That's a
good point. It's true that they should put that on
the bottle, the taste of a new generation the cold
that's sounds the most like Genitalia.
Speaker 2: I was trying real quick to think of there's any
other cola as a kind of sound like genitally, but doctor.

joining us. He p Idiot Box says, I just learned
the expression you're losing so much weight, all that'll be
left is ribs and dick all that to say, you're
looking good, grub grubby.
Speaker 3: You think you're just only going to be ribs and
a penis at some point?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's the goal. Of course, that's what
everyone's going for. When I did go down to the
office in Cleveland, the guy hadn't seen me in the
one time and he mentioned it, and I'm like, yeah,
it's it's it's o zempic. I really I do think
it's a great thing and I'm happy to be on it.
But it really didn't make a huge difference. So that
it's happening more frequently and it's it's it's a nice
thing usually when people say it, so I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Doctor Bud Hunker says, w Tf, Jeff, I heard on
a random discord your boss has got a new boss
that said they don't want you to stream anymore. WTF
Whose house do I have to Well, we'll leave that
part of it.
Speaker 1: Everyone shall listen. We're gonna work this out. We're on
top of it everyone, Like my boss wants to figure
it out. His boss wants to figure it out his boss.
But we'll get it figured out, all right, Like we'll
hang it in all right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, relax, there's no reason to go after anybody
or anything like that.
Speaker 1: Well that's right, yes, I mean listen, if you want
to be loud about it, I get it that that
might make a difference.
Speaker 2: But let's be you know, you got to go your
be loud in your support and not your anger. Maybe,
I mean, you know, maybe some anger, you know, not
a people.

candy flavored grapes? And somehow they wrote penis upside down

Speaker 2: Right, how do you do that? How do you what
the hell is cotton candy flavored grapes? What are we
talking about?
Speaker 1: Oh no, yeah, my kids love those. I think this
is another thing where it's like they are like getting
really good at science and like splicing different things together
to like get different flavors, and then when they get
what they want, that's they go and they brand those
like the apples I always talk about, and then like
that's becomes the whole thing. But yeah, my kids love
those cotton candy grapes.

Speaker 2: Kittie cat Man ninety three says, guys, I know how
to break this. There is no Digito gaming video. It
was a testicle joke, sad penis noise as it was.
Speaker 1: It was a long time ago. I don't remember. I
do remember seeing people in chat making fun of us
for not getting the sack joke.
Speaker 2: Man, I can't. I can't even scroll up far enough
to see the original. It was like one of the
first ones. Yeah, one of the first.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to find it, you can. It was about.
Speaker 2: Eastern European clothes of Tetris. I remember that. And then
there was a name for it, and I just assumed
that was the name of what was it? Like what
like like schlangen Wiener. I thought, oh.
Speaker 1: Doctor, my baal sick. You guys are kind of dumb, huh,
look kinda.
Speaker 2: Oh And I was looking forward to that video.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like, I love that shit. Oh man, I'm.
Speaker 3: Saying I have a lot of really sincere compliments that
did you know.
Speaker 1: Kat, I'm stupid and I don't get this game. That's
too bad. Thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's rough. That's rough. Okay, well we'll try to
recover from that. Let's see here what Jonathan Or says,
you guys rule love a Canadian former bit mob er.
Speaker 3: That's right, Jonathan, that's.
Speaker 2: Right, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Good to see you. John.
Speaker 2: So it's eleven vibes, Jeff, jeezus. Chank Fitzer says, Chank Fitzer.
Witslock says, welcome to the Lincoln's Penis tier.
Speaker 1: Yep, perfect, I'll rename it that.
Speaker 2: Jade Camp says, congrats on the pivots to the congrats

other stuff written upside down loppy pepo floppy pipo.
Speaker 1: Yeah people cry.
Speaker 2: Orlov says, you guys took Giant Bama to a new generation.
Love you all, Thank you, Carol, really appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Carol. We should sell some VHS tapes.
Speaker 2: Would that be fun? Imagine we sold like all the
old Jeopardy episodes as VHS tapes or something.
Speaker 1: Like, Yeah, yeah, I wonder what we could fit onto
a VHS tape. Probably your Festor's quest run. That'd be
pretty cool, that'd be.
Speaker 2: Right, and I'm in low frame rate anyways, those the
last ones of my old bad camera, all right, or
the Opena computer.
Speaker 3: The camera was fine.
Speaker 2: All right, that's it for now. If you guys want
to say more super chats, we will read them all
before the end of the show. Really appreciate all the
support today, everybody, Thank you, thank you, thank you so much.
Speaker 3: We really do appreciate it.
Speaker 1: But Jeff thinks, im for now, all right, ye, and
more coming in, But like Mike says, we'll get to
all of those here in a little bit. We're not
gonna have too much more. We're gonna take a quick break.
We'll come back, we'll talk about what we've been playing,
anything else that strikes our fancy. Then we'll clean up
the rest of the super chats and get on out
of here. Let everyone get back to their you know,
you know, take an early weekend. I'm giving you permission
to do so. We'll be right back after this. All right,
we're back. Game mess decides. Let's get back into it
with what we've been playing. Let's start with you know,
for once, Mike Minati, what have you been playing?
Speaker 2: Gosh, it really was a lot of that freaking uncharted
waters New Horizons getting Si, Jeff, I love that.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that like you stuck with it because
it like really captured you that much. That's great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like deep into this campaign as this merchant.
I want to at least finish that one. Then I'll
probably move on to Lunar. But like now that's still
kind of like my night time game thing. I'm still playing,
you know, Oblivion. Uh, definitely playing that. Was playing a
lot of a vow this week too. Before that, Oh
I was appreciate a vow, but you you know, it
did really make me appreciate like, oh, you know, I
get a little bit why if somebody was going to
about really hoping for an older scrolls like like it, Yeah,
it's not, it's not that it it is in like
certain ways and like you know, the mechanics and the
kind of perspective I suppose and whatnot. But yeah, Oblivion
is definitely that really big, dense, your surprise there's this
much going on kind of a thing, and I like
about a lot. But it is almost more of an
action game in a lot of ways, and I think
it's a good action game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, Like it's a good it's good at what
it's doing right, and it's it's just doing stuff. It's
just doing a lot less, which is probably the right
move for any team that is not expecting to have
a game be like you know, long term supported twenty
five million copies selling like an Elder Scrolls game, because
the Elder scroll is doing it in a very specific
engine where they can still somehow make those games with
about one hundred people, which is wild. If you start
wanting to do that and an engine like Unreal, you're
going to build all those systems from scratch, it's going
to take a lot more people, a lot more time,
a lot more money. So focusing on what you're doing well,
which was what Avou did, it was the right move.
But I you're right, I do understand where people are
coming from. Where if that's what you want about, wasn't
going to deliver it, And you're gonna hit about pretty
hard for that. And then you go play Obliving and
you see the law and order system of you can
do stuff and you can steal things, and there's a
risk and reward and if you get arrested, honestly, if
you want me to love your game. When I do
something wrong, I want to get arrested and I want
to go to jail, and then I want to have
to deal with the ramifications that that is one of
the coolest things in a video game ever. Oblivion's the
first one I think where that I did experience that,
which is why that game is so important to me.
I think that is so goddamn cool, and not many
games still do that to this day. So yeah, I
get why people still love this thing so much.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's you know, big stuff. I said, didn't
Oh right, I tried Marathon. Oh yeah, next game.
Speaker 1: You play in it?
Speaker 2: Right? I wish it's Ah. Look, it's an alpha, and
I was definitely haveing some technical issues. It just wasn't
like working for a while in various ways. It didn't
like my mouse and keyboard. So at first problem, I think, yeah,
and then eventually this started work.
Speaker 3: But I don't know.
Speaker 2: I this is my first extraction shooter, Jeff, and I
think maybe I don't get or like this genre. And
again I maybe need to play more. I almost certainly
need to play more. This isn't really something in the game,
but just playing this, I was kind of like this
just seems like a worst version of Battle Royale. It's
like a Battle Royale without some of the more i
don't know, exciting stakes. It seems like there's way less
people I'm encountering when I'm doing it. I'm mostly fighting
these who aren't very difficult to kill. There's a bigger
emphasis on the looting, which isn't necessarily my favorite part
of doing a battle way out. I mean, the game
looks really pretty and the shooting did it feel good,
But yeah, I might try it more. I wasn't entirely
in love with the loop and just going in there
and getting stuff and getting out.
Speaker 4: You're you're still playing on the tutorial map. You haven't
like playing a big real map, like it's a normal map,
but it's like a tutorial mode where like they don't
let you explore a lot, so you're still doing that
and you play with other people, but it's kind of
like a smaller experience. But the thing is, if you
don't like that loop, if that loop doesn't attract you
from the get go, I don't think you're gonna like it, Mike.
I don't think it's gonna be for you. If you're
like going out and like loot stuff to make your
character better, to like level up your character, or like
getting better guns, or like level up like a bender,
like gaining rep to get better stuff from that bender
and that kind of stuff. Then it's not gonna be
for you because that's just the loop of the game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah it's not. But yeah, I think too, Like
I didn't realize it's one of those like you always
have to be in a squad of three people, so
you're gonna get mad. Yeah, I mean you can play
it by yourself, but everybody else is going to be
in groups of three. So here I had a disadvantage,
even the new Outer Rings doing this. I don't understand
why why this has become this default thing. I like
playing with people, but make that an option. I guess
having just one mode makes shorter qute times for games.
I get, but.
Speaker 4: I know, and it's it's sad because I like to
play solo too. Is what most people play, the people
that play these video is most people play.
Speaker 1: It's what they play. Yeah, it's they played the most
popular way to play these games, which is you know,
I think, which is what what kind of eventually soured
me on on the Battle Royal genre where it's like,
oh yeah, Apex Legends, oh my god from the Titan Fall,
people that I love, Respawn, let's play this. And it's like, man,
I I had the most one with PUBG playing by
my but not the most fun. But I had a
lot of fun playing by myself, and then when I
would play with other people would be great. But I'm
definitely at a point in my life where having to
be like responsible for other people's fun is something I
have to really be in the mood for. And so
it's like a game that's just gonna only have three
player teams, I'm just not even going to try it
really at this point.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's all of experience, like the most the high extension,
what you can have. To give you an example, what's
happening right now, PUBG, you can't play a solo like
p G nowadays, you can't play like you can't go
with solo, but everybody else is in teams, just like
this video.
Speaker 1: So and they did they really get rid of the
solo mode.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't go you go solo, but the other
people isn't Like at least duels, I think you're always funny.
Speaker 1: Easy that sucks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do want to.
Speaker 2: I want to try it a little bit more. I
think I promised players have two at some point, so
we'll get a shot playing with people I know will
be better because I do hate I'm just in this
game with two people. I'm knocking in a voice chat,
so kind of constant game of like like are we
gonna move on now? Like I don't want to be
a jerk if you're still looting stuff here, I guess,
but I feel like we should move, So I'm just
gonna start moving and hope you follow me and we'll
see like, yeahs terrible.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you get used to playing with randos. I play
shot Out with Randos all the time, and you get
used to like having moving as a group because these
games she just points you out at the direction where
you have to go all the time. What you have
to do is full of icons in the screen and
the map, so people they get funneled into these objectives
and everybody kind of moves once you get in the
mood of doing that. So I feel like you'll get
used to that type of a game.
Speaker 2: I said, I'll try it and maybe not enymore in
this alpha period, like maybe when the game is out out.
Speaker 4: Oh she's gonna readin the code, play it for like
half an hour, and then she's not played it anymore.
I see who it is.
Speaker 1: I ask you just to actually, you know what, throw
it away and I struck whole computer in fact, yeah.
Speaker 2: Sit it on fire. That being said, like, you know,
I think some people are like graining the game off
its ability to be popular. But there's gonna be plenty
of settos for this kind of thing. I think it'll
probably be just fine.
Speaker 4: I mean, I see a lot of people that really
like it and then a lot of a lot of
other people that don't like it. So it seems like
it's an acquired taste. I feel like, because just what
the genre is.
Speaker 1: But I watch I watched some kind of funny play,
so I did hear and saw people in chat saying
that they're enjoying it. And you know, although I'd almost
saying it's like this is not reflection a kind of funny,
it did look like there's their stream for that was
not didn't have as many viewers as they normally have,
and it's like, man, I wonder if it's gonna be
kind of streaming poison for that kind of community. Obviously,
if you are a marathon streamer and that becomes a thing,
there's gonna be people that will watch that. But it
seems like people are just not interested in this game
right now.
Speaker 2: It almost made me like, I ultimately I feel like
I wasn't shooting very much, and that's what I want
from a bunch of game. I was like, I kind
of almost wish I was playing Destiny. Yeah, like, hey,
you can shoot that I.
Speaker 4: Mentioned these video games. Yeah, yeah, the shooter is like
in the second it's like the tension building up until
you get to shoot and shooting. It's a very occasional.
Speaker 2: All right, But yeah, how about you, Jeffer. Should we
talk to the boys about clare Right.
Speaker 1: I've not much because I've been dealing with some other stuff.
So yeah, clear obscure Expedition thirty three. I you, Mike,
you have not touched this, right, but our other two
boys here have and I think they've been spending quite
quite a lot of time with it. So yeah, who
wants to go first? Okay?
Speaker 7: So yeah, Christian, have you finished the game?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: No, I'm fifteen hours then halfway through?
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, I'm a little bit past you. Then I'm
around twenty hours in which, yeah, a corner of review
materials because I'm mainlining a story. Definitely get two thirds
of the way through the main story. I just fought
a boss that very much felt like a two thirds
of a way through the game boss. I'll tell you
that much. People have been talking about this game and
saying it's like one of the greatest RPGs they've ever played,
and there's a lot of high praise, and I think
some people are like, are you are sure about that?
Is this over hyping?
Speaker 1: Is it true?
Speaker 7: And y'all, I'm here to say, is one of the
best RPGs I've ever played. It is so so damn good.
It's just it's refreshing, how no bullshit it is, like, Yeah,
when I edited that travelogue Tam and Lucy in Japan,
if you haven't seen it, go check out on the
Giant Bomb channel because they you know, they walked around
Tokyo interviewing the the director and director and producer on
the game and just hearing them talk about the RPGs
they love. There are kind of people they just get it.
They know what's good about JRPGs. They know what works,
what doesn't. They love the same game as we do,
and this game reflects that.
Speaker 1: That team.
Speaker 7: You can tell that they know what works and they
put it in this game. You know, I was like
half joking. I says it's the shovel Night of JRPGs.
But that's I think, genuinely the best way I can
put it concisely, because it just takes all these aspects
from all these other games. You can see, oh, this
is from that game, This is from that game, this
is from Persona, this is from Final Fantasy, this is
from Super Mario RPG. But they put their own spin
on it, and it's just it's incredible how streamlined it
is because you just go from the get go. It's
this was sort of the talking point in Blue Sky
to Day of It kind of just puts you in
the middle of the story and doesn't over explain things
to you. It definitely has cutscenes, it definitely is story driven,
but they don't sit there like especially Final Fantasy, I
think gets lost in this a little bit where they, like,
you know, the thirteen era specifically, I'm like fifteen a
little bit like over explaining things to you, what everything is.
This is just like, no, we're gonna tell this story.
You are picking up this character, like, you know, well,
because of the way the world works. I was gonna
say halfway through his life, because of you know, the
whole gimmick of everyone dying at certain age. He's at
the end of his life technically, but yeah, you are
picking up his story halfway through his life, and you
are expected to keep up. You are expected to just
big your things out as you go, nice and it is.
That's why I think, Jeff, you'll actually like if you
give it a chance. May I don't know if you'll
stick with it, but maybe the shorter run time you'll
stick with it more because you're thirty is much more manageable.
Speaker 2: I mean, it also sounds like that. Dare I say
the one JPG that has a chance with Dan Reichert
even I don't know.
Speaker 7: Maybe Yeah, I think if Dan is down with the story,
I think he'll really like the game play because the
gameplays so stand out. It is awesome because it's you know,
it's very persona and the way you get set up.
But then everything is reaction based. They call it a
reaction reactive turn base is what the doves call it.
And yeah, everything you do you get like basically quick
time events to like press as certain time to add
in effect do more damage, so on, so on, and
they get creative with that. And there's also a dodging
mechanic where when you're about to get hit you have
to dodge all the way, but they add layers to
it to where you don't just have a dodge, you
have a parry and if you dodge, there's two levels.
You can dodge or you can perfect dodge, and perfect
dodging will get you some bonuses. Sometimes. What's interesting is
the perry system, which has the same timing as perfect dodging,
but if you fuck it up, there's no like leniency
like there is with dodging, and so there's multiple layers
to this. So basically every time you attack an enemy
or every time you get attacked, it's a mini game.
You're just constantly that you're interacting with the enemy at
all times. You're always playing the game. It's something like
the reason Killer instincts so much as a fighting game,
you're always playing. If you're getting attacked. There's still the
mind game of combo breaking and counter breaking, and that
vibe is here in this turn based RPG. It is awesome.
I absolutely love the combat, rambling a little bit so
Christian whig in there with some stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it doesn't end there with The combat is also
very complex because every character plays differently. They have like
a different mechanic to their skills that you have to learn.
Like the main guy, he has a different set of
abilities where one set charges his arm. He has a
mechanical arm and you have to charge the arm with
certain abilities, and then other abilities will charge their arm
and depending on how much charge you have there, it
will do a different amount of damage. And then then
there's this this wizzard, this this lady, this magician, I
don't know. She whenever you cast like a fire spell,
she has this floating thingy around her that will light
up with a fire charge. And then if you do
do it again, you have too fire charge. And then
some spells have this alternative effect that it will trigger
if you have a certain amount of charges with that
kind of like fire effect, and it will do like
extra damage and it will heal you or will change
how it works. And the other characters also have that,
which is like pretty fucking cool to get like combos
going with all that stuff going on and on top
of that, you can like divof character. The enemies and
other characters could take advantage of that because their abilities
will interact with those divof making it like it's just perfect.
It's very complex, but also you understand it right away
how it works and you'll get these combos where also
the sound design when you get that these combos goings
and this.
Speaker 2: Is so everything good.
Speaker 4: Its slow mo and everything blows up and it's very
animal style.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 2: It is incredible. Yeah, I'm a funny I don't think
I think you said that stuck out to me as
a guy with a robot arm. Ever since Streets of
H three, I thought people with a robot armor.
Speaker 7: The car they fan cable and everything or.
Speaker 2: Over from Treasure Planet Child.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a that's a great point, Christian, because yeah,
every character is unique. Every character has their own gimmick
that you do where yeah, Gustav has his robot arm
where uh successfully landing attacks and if you have like
the right builds dodging attacks, perfect parrying and stuff, will
like build those charges. Like Christian mentioned Lune, you know
you get the different charges as a magician. There's some
wild ones too. A character that you can add to
here party later in the game. Just plays like a
Devil May Cry character. You literally has the d through
s where yeah, the more you the more you dodge
and perry it's his his gimmick. Like everything they're all,
they all have a name. This is lyrically called perfection.
And so the game, you're so far through the game,
you are literally rewarded for learning the dodging and the parrying.
And if you can keep him at S rank, he
does a ship ton of damage. Like he can do
all these crazy moves and stuff. It is awesome.
Speaker 1: So good.
Speaker 4: Yeah you do you fuck around with the pictos and
what is the lumin right?
Speaker 7: Thank you. That's the thing that I want to address
as well. Like I said this, it's very streamlined. It's
very trim, like it's a no bullshit game. Anything you
don't need in an RPG is not here. And one
of those things is inventory, inventory, equipment. Everything superstreamline. There
are no items in the game you have charges for,
like healing, revives and what's the last one basically ability points.
Everything works on ability points and there are various ways
to get them on your turn. It's very simagami tense.
It's it's like meta for you know, shim mcgammy tense
like press turn that system. Yeah, And what's cool is
that every time you basically get to like a dark
soul sty style bonfire as a checkpoint and as a
save point, it's like a file Fantasy save point from
back in the day. It refills all of your like
different potions that do the different things, so you don't
have to go to these shops like there are shops occasionally,
we're not really spending a ton of time in towns
because the game just keeps going. It just keeps going
story wise and everything like that.
Speaker 2: That's a little thing.
Speaker 7: Just yes, it is a little a little bit yeah
earlier like ten even of like yeah, it's more streamline,
more linear, but in a good way. And what Christian
was gonning out with the pictos, that's your equipment system.
It's basically just equipment is all one thing called pictos
where you equip them to your character and you have
x amount of you have three slots they can put
them in, and after four victories, any character can learn
the ability on that using a point system, which is
is that virtues it's a view orders.
Speaker 4: On right, I don't remember they have. They have very
complicated names.
Speaker 2: So yeah, complicated version of Facing Nines like equipment skill
system where equipment thank you lox.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's been a while since I played nine, so
I don't exactly remember how that works. But yeah, it's
just again super streamlined. They they clearly just wanted to
put in the good things, which is also very smart
when you have a smart team, smart budget and everything.
It's a very well designed game in that way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I am so excited.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Then being like kind of limited, limited, limited on their
cope made them make a game that's very distill, very focused,
So it helps meen a lot on the on the design.
Speaker 1: That's that's what surprises me though. It's like because it's
clearly also like a love letter to the genre in
a lot of ways. It's games like people who have
played a lot of those games, And that's the easiest
thing to do is to fall into the pit of like, well,
we need all this because my favorite game has that.
So to have the sort of wherewithal and the discipline
to cut out what you don't need and then focus
on making the stuff you do have the best it
can possibly be is really impressive. Like that is so
cool to hear.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and like to be clear if you want to
explore a little bit like there is there's ay they
may have point of this. He's I believe he's the producer. No,
he's the director of the game. I think giom. He
said that interview that tam Lucy did where day one,
the first thing he knew he wanted to do with
his game was to bring back the final Fantasy World map, Mike,
and so they have a final fancy PS one arrow
world map where everything's at a weird scale, but that's
how you get around everywhere. Yeah, I miss so map.
You can explore if you want to, there's other places
to go to. That's why I say it's thirty hours
for main story, but also additional thirty hours of side
contact because you can't go exploring if you want too.
But if you're like me and you don't, you don't
love doing that stuff, you can just mainline it and
it's very direct.
Speaker 1: It's awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I love this.
Speaker 4: I love the characters in this game. I like them
all there. Yeah, they're lovely. Some of them are. They
have little freaks, they're really funny, they're h I love
that guy.
Speaker 3: I mean, I was always told.
Speaker 7: Last thing just you know, to not and not go
on too long. It is a more mature story. It
is almost entirely adult cast. The the main characters, like
little sister plays a role in it, and so she's
along for the ride too, But in general it's like
an adults story told for adults by adults. It's much
more mature that way. So if you if you are
tired of you know, like the persona teenagers and everything
away from that a good amount with metaphor, but then
this goes even further with that almost I would say's
like almost like a content warning level. It's a very
bloody game. It's not necessary gory. It's bloody, right, you.
Speaker 1: Don't you don't see things necessarily getting gored, right, yeah.
Speaker 7: Exactly, You're You're not seeing like chopping off of limbs
in real time or something. It's more like you'll still
almost you know, from soft you'll stumble across something fucked
up and there'll.
Speaker 1: Be a lot of blood results.
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, so there is violence, and they talk about
you know, death and loss a lot because that's the
theme of the game, is that you know, everyone is
dying a young age and the figure out the mystery
behind that. So, like it is a heavier game thematically,
but it's also very fun and they do have lighthearted
moments and it's just a great adventure.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, though, you know, ben Star just ruins everything. Yeah there,
sorry about that. You guys have to put up with that.
Yeah all right, Well I'm god. I I was looking
forward to this because I when I did play it,
I'm like, this is actually hitting the mark for me,
but it just sounds like it continues to do so yeah, yeah,
this is maybe not an apt analogy, but it's what's
coming to mind is a lot of like anime is
made for kids, like that's the idea, Like that's who
they're making it for. And then like you do get
the occasional anime that is like Cowboy Bebop, they're like, well,
let's just take it a little bit more seriously and
see what happens. And it's like, wow, this is also
awesome and different and it appeals to different people for
different ways. It's kind of reminds me of that.
Speaker 7: A little bit, a little bit of Yeah, definitely more
in the like Cowboy Bebop, Ghosts in the Shell sort
of vibe, like it is telling a more mature, cerebral story.
Definitely very French too.
Speaker 4: I love how French it is. They say they playing
it on English and they still swear in French, and
this is pretty funny. It's pretty good.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's like it's not a spoiler because it's been
in trailers before and everyone's talking about one of the
first like dark Souls, fuck you. But mini bosses you
encounter is a that seems invincible until you figure out
the puzzle of like eating him, and then you get
and then you get the bag at outfit. If you beat.
Speaker 2: Him right now, I try to puzzle. Solve the puzzle
right now. I bet you have to do what he does.
I bet you have to mimic him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right. Well I'm looking forward to
playing it. And thanks guys for forgiving us the rundown
on that. It was just exciting to just to listen
to you guys talk about it. Let alone play it.
So all right, very cool?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 1: Anything else we should we should touch on any other
big games for the rest of these super jets.
Speaker 4: We could touch a little bit on Vital Fury if
you want to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean a little yeah, just a quick version.
I guess just tell me about you. It seems like
it's hitting with the community and in a weird way,
So I don't know. You guys tell me.
Speaker 4: I love yeah, yeah, ahead.
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say that.
Speaker 7: Me and Mike have talked about it on the BombCast
and we had like a whole discussion about the contra
is in there things. You can check that place episode
that out. But yeah, Christian, how have you been feeling
about it?
Speaker 4: I love the core game play. The core game play
is incredible. I have been playing it ever since I
got the code. It's mean I I don't like single
player games, so it's it was kind of hard to
get a match during the pre during the review period
because there's not a lot of players the reviewers. But
after it came out, I played way more and I
got more used to the heaviness of the character and
all that kind of stuff. And the core game play
is awesome.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 4: It's so much fun. The way the combos work, how
you can change the ex moves one after the other,
with the how fluid it is, how you can make
any combo you want as long as you have meter
to do it. That that is all awesome. The video game,
the core the video game is awesome. Everything around it
is kinda the main the the what was the world
Tour mode?
Speaker 3: The analog?
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, Stories from South.
Speaker 4: Town something like that. The single player mode is not
very good. It is a map where you go and
pick your character and you you pick fights and fite
people in level up and you get more HP or whatever.
It's not it's not good, completely forgettable. And then the controversy,
it's just it's SD to me. I mean, it sounds me.
It sounds me because people have been waiting for this
game for decades and now it's kind of tainted for me.
I don't know, most people kind of don't know, don't
even care if even if they do not know or care,
and that's like part of what it almost gets me
more upset.
Speaker 2: Y's like this DJ character actually because its moves look silly,
and I'm like, no, we should still not be okay
with this, even if he's not as bad as the
fucking soccer player sex pest, Like, it's still terrible that
we just put in the crownd pursu his favorite d
Jay Again. If Phil Spencer told Overwatch too that they
had to put in his favorite R and B artists,
it would be the controversy of the decade.
Speaker 7: Yea, let alone, like you know, some of our politicians,
you know, dictating that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Right right, exactly exactly. So I just I'm shocked that
so people in the franking community are already okay with
that just because he looks like Maximilian dude and is
a goober with his moods.
Speaker 7: Like, yeah, I think it is more ignorance at this point,
which is why it's good to talk about it. You know,
we don't necessarily need to blast people who don't know.
But if they do know and then they like say
nothing about it still, then yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just also it opens the flowgates for another
bad stuff happening on the on this type of games,
I don't want to see the next I don't know
what king could happen, but it could happen to any game.
Speaker 1: Actually, I mean, they're definitely gonna keep doing this after
the reaction that's.
Speaker 4: Happened because people receive it pretty well, most people, So
I guess it's so you can put more anything. Yeah,
any suit cannot go and say like, hey, they love
that dumb DJ on the other video game. What don't
we put I don't know another progmatic, real human being
in this video game.
Speaker 2: Who showed up to ruin WrestleMania in a fighting game.
Speaker 1: He's already been in Fortnite a bunch of times. But yeah, yeah,
all right, yeah yeah, and finish up, Christian.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's it. This is just the video game is good.
If you can't ignore that, I guess it's a it's
a really good video game underneath of that greasy, weird
awareness with the blood money and the kind of stuff there.
But yeah, that's it. She's have that in mind.
Speaker 1: All right, yep, thank you, Christian, appreciate that. Thank you
guys for talking about those games. I'm gonna I'm gonna
play some Clear Obscare this weekend and talk about it
next week, so look forward to that. I want to
play some South of Midnight as well. I started that.
I think I liked what I played so far, so
maybe maybe those will be the two I focus on. Uh,
all right, Mike, let's get to the rest of the
super chats. Does that sound good?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 2: Uh, Doctor butt Hugger. I still don't think I could
talk about the supertucher talking potentially about violence. I don't
thank you thank you, doctor, but Hugger Patrick Ford joined
the Lincoln here, and thank you so much.
Speaker 3: I appreciate it. I hope you're doing well.

I'm gonna get it wrong this time. But go ahead.
Speaker 2: Well, they say prompts to Mike pronouncing my name right now,
have to say it right again, Carol Orlov.

Speaker 2: A lot of chords going into solution.
Speaker 3: Like I play a spaghetti or something.
Speaker 1: All right, we're out, all right, did you used to
go to the bathroom or anything? Are we good?
Speaker 2: I could do We're probably to do this a couple
of seaways like yeah, probably.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're gonna get a break.
Speaker 2: In the middle of the summary sins, viewers are discussing
their experience of pre ordering PlayStation five.
Speaker 1: Uh we should uh, I'll might just gift you this,
but that pg A game, we should do some rounds
of that, like do a stream of that.
Speaker 3: But actually there was that new Hotshots thing or whatever too.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that that's coming out with the like later
this year, right, I think hopefully better is it out?
I don't know if it's I don't know. All right,
let's see all right, I am gonna bring it back
in all right, all right, and.
Speaker 4: You read my mind? How do you know? I was
about to say that it was literally.
Speaker 2: Thing was like halfway through, like I got to the
bathroom to take penning to those We're good.
Speaker 1: Thanks ranging out with us, everybody, and we're gonna get
back to it soon. Yeah. We've been doing this a
while now, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like three years, two years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, something like that. Yeah, it's been a minute. What
the hell not again?
Speaker 7: Damn it?
Speaker 4: The John Bond disco and then the chat you don't
do choke no more.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well now it's a good joke. It's back, it's
funny again.
Speaker 7: It's in vogue again.
Speaker 1: All right, let's see. I'm let's just skip those ads
and then hit this button instead. So kind of just
happens now, all right. I don't even know, like I
hit that button here on YouTube. It's like when we
take this breaks so well, now here's where we can
put the ads. No one ever says anything. I don't.
I wonder if ads play live or that's just something
that happens later. It happens later. YouTube is probably putting
in ads way more than that. It's what it seems like.
It's so bad at that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's always pretty bad.
Speaker 1: All right, what game before I take this SD card
out of my computer and put it into the flippy
drive that is now installed in my game star Box Assault,
star foxs Assault. Okay, I'm taking other recommendations, and in fact,
I'm just gonna right down here on a list.
Speaker 7: Let's see here and move for GameCube long lost.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see here. Let me just write it down.
What are you doing?
Speaker 7: Is there any particular reason that you're using a GameCube
in that way? Like, is there anything in particular that
you're looking to do with it? Or is it just
because you like the GameCube?
Speaker 1: It's mostly just because I like the GameCube or so
that's mostly.
Speaker 4: I can't think of taking me alone time to think
of games that are not in GameCube.
Speaker 1: I don't know why you're you're struggling to think of
things that aren't on GameCube.
Speaker 4: Yes, because that's the joke, because you're.
Speaker 1: Trying to do I know, and I get you're trying
to do a bit, but it's like it feels like
that would be pretty easy.
Speaker 4: But all right, yeah, no, but I'm dumb. You see,
no loss?
Speaker 1: You know? Yeah, there you go. If you told me
not to think of something Christian, I would also struggle
to not think of the thing you told me not
to think of.
Speaker 7: Yeah, works, just do the Jeff rub ceremonial. Put the
Star Wars game on there, which.
Speaker 1: Was that Road Leader? Yeah, yes, that's the one I
have physically, but I'm also putting it on there for sure.
Also get Bounty Hunter.
Speaker 7: You know what, play on the flippy drive as well,
see if there's loading differences.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good idea. That'll be fun to see. Cursed.
I mean, I got pretty good fighters not on GameCube. Yeah,
good suggestions. A lot of Billy Hatcher's. I'm surprised, a
lot of Bill I will. I've never played Billy Hatcher, right.
Speaker 2: Think it is kind of the spiritual successor to Glover
in a lot of ways.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it kind of is. It's solid, not amazing, but
it's a solid game.
Speaker 2: I think you are extra.
Speaker 7: Our team has done a lot worse.
Speaker 4: Your extra pixelated to the deaf jam eixel it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know what.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you just said you had an airnet moment.
Speaker 1: You're find me now, all right? And of course, all
right cool, Oh beautiful Joe, me write that down the
guy of.
