Speaker 5: you love it?
Speaker 3: Though?
Speaker 5: Is that right?
Speaker 3: What is it?
Speaker 4: It's the worst movie I've ever seen.
Speaker 6: It's about a dog that gets turned into a man
Speaker 6: by a magic puddle and then the man uh tries
Speaker 6: to fall in love with the girl. The dog wants
Speaker 6: to get laid basically, and then the puddle turns him
Speaker 6: into a man, and then the dog falls in love,
Speaker 6: but he only turns into a guy at night. And
Speaker 6: so his name is Prince and he's a dude at
Speaker 6: night and loves a lady, but then he turns into
Speaker 6: a dog during the day.
Speaker 3: I hate that. Okay, Yeah, that's I mean, okay, I
Speaker 3: think it's illegal.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's confusing. There's a lot of questions.
Speaker 3: It brings up. What's illegal about it? Mike? They you know,
Speaker 3: beaciality part of it.
Speaker 6: She doesn't have sex with a dog, and there's no
Speaker 6: things shown in the movie period, So.
Speaker 3: The net exists.
Speaker 2: So I feel like, and that has so much dog sex. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I just.
Speaker 3: Think like when you when you talk about worst movies
Speaker 3: and the fact that a net exists, you don't talk
Speaker 3: about it that way. And I'm talking about how dare
Speaker 3: you let's I.
Speaker 4: Want to go, I'm sorry, Yeah, you're right side of history.
Speaker 3: Now for my birthday, which is two months past, I
Speaker 3: want to sit at him, driver down and just be like, buddy,
Speaker 3: be honest, tell me what you think about a net.
Speaker 3: But I want to hear it from that, he does
Speaker 3: he think.
Speaker 1: I bet he's really proud of that.
Speaker 5: I bet he thinks more proud of it than Star Wars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, come on, that's to me, that's not
Speaker 3: that much of a reach to be more proud of
Speaker 3: this thing than Star Wars.
Speaker 4: Like a seven minutes standing ovation at a film.
Speaker 1: Festival he was at, like, we could do anything gets standing?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, how many times have you seen a net? Now? Dan? Six?
Speaker 3: That's just funny. It's fun to.
Speaker 5: Think that Adam Driver was a marine and then eventually
Speaker 5: did a net.
Speaker 3: That's a funny thing, Like, yeah, standing at that. He
Speaker 3: was a producer all so, so he's got so he's
Speaker 3: got more of an emotional stake in it.
Speaker 4: Is Mike saying orgasm?
Speaker 2: Is that the joke?
Speaker 3: I think so? Yeah?
Speaker 4: But standing out is just a normal phrase.
Speaker 2: I feel like, what do you want me to do
Speaker 2: about him? Dan, I'm sorry I brought.
Speaker 4: I'm not blaming your crub. I'm not blaming you, thank you.
Speaker 4: I'm blaming Mike.
Speaker 3: I was you know, I was gonna forget about me. No,

Speaker 5: make fun of us for being as old anymore now
Speaker 5: that now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're a lot older through the transitive property. We've
Speaker 1: talked a lot about this morning, about the transitive property.
Speaker 1: I think he can still make fun of us.

Speaker 2: could start making fun of him for being old. That's
Speaker 2: all I want. Okay, so he'll join us and that side.
Speaker 3: Yes, I it is my dream for someone to approach
Speaker 3: Sean and call him unk. Yeah. I get called unks
Speaker 3: so much it's now beyond the point.
Speaker 4: Does makes sense.
Speaker 3: Yeah, novels, Uncle Jeff's and nephews. Right, I'm not talking
Speaker 3: about the people who rightfully deserve to call me. I'm
Speaker 3: talking about like teammates and people who are my peers.
Speaker 3: Uncle Jeff is a thing that I am a little.
Speaker 3: It was nice in the beginning, in my early my
Speaker 3: late thirties maybe early forties, but now it's like, oh,
Speaker 3: you're actually worried I'm gonna fall down and get hurt. Well,
Speaker 3: I mean that's a aren't you glad to have that
Speaker 3: Karen affection? A yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, thanks for letting
Speaker 3: me see the other side of that. Jan.
Speaker 6: I mean, you start practicing a sport that'll give you
Speaker 6: some leg strength and you won't put all right, I.
Speaker 5: Said karen affection, and I heard Karen affection for a man.
Speaker 3: Listen, you have that? Yeah, I do.
Speaker 5: If my mom's scared that, I want to see the
Speaker 5: manager and tell him that I hope he's having a
Speaker 5: nice day.
Speaker 2: Okay, Wait, do you guys think you should have to
Speaker 2: say uncle or aunt when addressing an uncle or an
Speaker 2: ant or can you just call them by their first name?
Speaker 3: First man? I just yeah, oh disagree. Oh I love this, Mike.
Speaker 2: Why respect Yeah. One time I called my aunt my
Speaker 2: aunt Bonnie Bonnie when I was like a teenager, and
Speaker 2: she got so mad that I didn't call her Bonnie.
Speaker 3: Punched you the doctor.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's what she was acting like.
Speaker 1: It was not.
Speaker 2: I was like confused for a while, and it took
Speaker 2: me a long time to piece together.
Speaker 3: That's why she would be I.
Speaker 5: Wouldn't say anything. I would be upset then, but I
Speaker 5: would deeply hurt me if my nephew's ands just say hey.
Speaker 2: Mike, Okay, but what like imagine him as like twenty
Speaker 2: five year olds.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, No, I still thirty eight, and I have
Speaker 3: an uncle Dave. I've only ever called him uncle Dave.
Speaker 3: It's weird not to I thought, I thought my aunt's
Speaker 3: name was Auntie.
Speaker 5: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: That's the time. I think it depends on the person, right,
Speaker 3: I think like certain people where the uncle or auntie
Speaker 3: thing better than others. And I think it's a case
Speaker 3: by case scenario. Your uncle Mike's, your uncle Dave's, like
Speaker 3: those are almost separate.
Speaker 5: Uncle Dave's.
Speaker 3: Of course those are inseparable, right, like they have to
Speaker 3: be by law. Uncles all have an uncle John.
Speaker 1: I do not.
Speaker 2: My son does.
Speaker 3: Actually, my son has an uncle John. Okay, shut out there.
Speaker 6: Both My parents have been married three times, so it's
Speaker 6: like there's a lot of uncles, like are there can some?
Speaker 6: My uncle Dave is like a four from Uncle Dave
Speaker 6: does that?
Speaker 3: Usually just call him former uncle. Former uncle Steve.
Speaker 2: Was your uncle when you were like seven, because if
Speaker 2: that's the case, he always your uncle. If he was
Speaker 2: like an uncle while you were like well to eleven
Speaker 2: or yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like an early teens.
Speaker 6: Well, he had the superintendent when we went to my
Speaker 6: step grandpa's house, So I would use Uncle Dave superintendent
Speaker 6: all the time.
Speaker 3: That's there, Uncle Butcher, And I love saying that uncle.
Speaker 3: That's the fun one.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 4: I had Uncle Skeeter, but he really yeah, great Uncle Skeeter.
Speaker 2: He was great.
Speaker 5: That's awesome.
Speaker 4: He just played guitars and bars around Kansas and he.
Speaker 5: Helped them up and put on the show.
Speaker 2: I had another and this is a completely unrelated question.
Speaker 2: When you're brushing your teeth, cold water or hot water
Speaker 2: to put on the tooth butt brush before you wash
Speaker 2: before cold.
Speaker 4: I call him, but it hurts my teeth because my
Speaker 4: teeth are so hot.
Speaker 3: Water.
Speaker 2: Some people, some people swear by. I'm a cold boy myself.
Speaker 2: I'm done hot in the past.
Speaker 3: I can't imagine hot water is any meaningful?
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure?
Speaker 3: I mean who wants to brush their teeth with soup? Right?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: I don't know about that answer?
Speaker 2: Well did you answer, jan? I didn't hear you. If
Speaker 2: you did, oh, cold water?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 1: All right, I mean I'm insane, but not that insane.
Speaker 5: Yeah, sure you tell these money hot water assholes?
Speaker 3: What is up? And what is roar? Like? Hold on,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna brush my teeth. I just need the water
Speaker 3: a warm up. What I mean, the exposure to the water.
Speaker 3: That's just like a quick quick yeah, who are you?
Speaker 3: Who are you? People? Where you need warm water? Brush? Honors?
Speaker 3: Is make it scrub better?
Speaker 2: Is that the thinking? Like you know, hot water kills bacteria?
Speaker 2: Is I think the thinking there? But that's not what
Speaker 2: brushing the teeth is all about. For sure. It's about
Speaker 2: brushing off.
Speaker 3: I mean to wash the dishes, of course, to brush
Speaker 3: the teeths I don't know. Okay.
Speaker 6: So I had like a normal toothbrush for a long
Speaker 6: time that was just like white bristles, and then I
Speaker 6: ate a bag of cheese its and immediately brushed my
Speaker 6: teeth afterwards, and it turned it like super duper orange,
Speaker 6: and so now it looks really gross, but it's not.
Speaker 6: It's just like it got some cheese at dust on it,
Speaker 6: but it looks like this yellowish orangesh to but it
Speaker 6: was like clean as a whistle white before.
Speaker 2: That to be the problem. Yeah, I think looking gross
Speaker 2: is like ninety percent of the thing you don't want
Speaker 2: your toothbrush to do.
Speaker 3: I mean, it made me.
Speaker 6: Upset every time I look at it, and I have
Speaker 6: a bunch of backup toothbrushes, so maybe I should just
Speaker 6: swap it out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do we do.
Speaker 4: A gross Yeah, it's not like actively gross, it's.
Speaker 3: Just I think it's gross if it's changed color on
Speaker 3: account of your diet, Like what are we doing?
Speaker 4: I'll change it.
Speaker 6: But it wasn't like, no, here's the deal. Normal cheese
Speaker 6: its won't do that, and so that's why I wasn't
Speaker 6: afraid to do that. But I was eating those like
Speaker 6: Quest protein cheese its, and I think those are just
Speaker 6: like way more potent, and it'll just like totally Nickelodeon
Speaker 6: orange your toothbrush up.
Speaker 5: Sure, Yeah, the protein's definitely in the dust. That's where
Speaker 5: they put the protein.
Speaker 3: Actually, Dan, I also think for further brushing engagements, maybe
Speaker 3: it is not the right order of operations to instantly
Speaker 3: brush your teeth after eating.
Speaker 1: But I was like eating right before bed, I fall
Speaker 1: asleep and it has a sip of water. Yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: your first before the protein cheese.
Speaker 4: Its are potent.
Speaker 2: They protein cheese.
Speaker 1: It's I don't like any of these sentences.
Speaker 3: Everything you've said in the last ten minutes sucks.
Speaker 6: I just got to say, like unhealthy foods, and then
Speaker 6: if you give me a somewhat healthier version of it,
Speaker 6: like I don't get skittles anymore Young Earth. Things you
Speaker 6: get from like Whole Foods, and they're called giggles instead
Speaker 6: of skittles.
Speaker 3: And let's call the scam. You are scammed by a color,
Speaker 3: and that color is the color green.
Speaker 5: I'm just I got it.
Speaker 4: I was eating them right before we went live.
Speaker 5: I first, Yeah, early of that.
Speaker 3: Damn oh, I will wake up.
Speaker 6: I've had stuff, cruss pizza and healthy skittles this morning.
Speaker 5: You know what, I had cross pizza too. I think
Speaker 5: we both had leftover wrestling pay per view pizza.
Speaker 2: This bit.
Speaker 4: You have Domino's wrestling pizza no, I.
Speaker 5: Got Papa John's.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, but.
Speaker 4: We had wrestling pizza this weekend.
Speaker 5: Yes, they had wrestling pizza for sure.
Speaker 3: That I got the pac Man donuts.
Speaker 4: This is a good wrestling show. That was a good
Speaker 4: wrestling show.
Speaker 5: Platro jans. You see the one wrestler Pilatro tights, Yes.
Speaker 3: Yes, I did.
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool. That's cool.
Speaker 6: I didn't realize it. Speedball Bailey does like Mario world
Speaker 6: speed runs and stuff. I saw him backstage of Dynamite
Speaker 6: and didn't really know him, so we didn't talk. And
Speaker 6: now it's like, oh my god, I would have just
Speaker 6: worked out with Speedball Bailey about Mario stuff. He seems awesome.
Speaker 2: Great.
Speaker 1: Now is the perfect time to also mention that we
Speaker 1: have gotten the ability to turn super chats on on YouTube, Folks.
Speaker 1: It's not a guarantee that we'll get to every single
Speaker 1: super chat that gets sent in. We will get to
Speaker 1: the super chats during the email segment after we read
Speaker 1: the regular decular emails. So if you are on YouTube
Speaker 1: in your position to send a super chat, hey, hollor,
Speaker 1: we're not going to read all of them. We're gonna
Speaker 1: try to, but please please.
Speaker 2: Here's one from Martin also confirmed super chats are active.
Speaker 2: P ness is that our first super chat is penis.
Speaker 2: I think it was actually the second one. I think
Speaker 2: Antonio Martinez, who said Bomba Gante explained.
Speaker 5: The penis things to them because that seems like a
Speaker 5: legacy thing from.
Speaker 4: Our shows, that is carrying over the word penis was funny.
Speaker 3: I thought that was it. It's true.
Speaker 2: I think what happened the first time is someone just
Speaker 2: had leftover characters in their super chats, so they just
Speaker 2: threw in an extra penis for us, and now everyone
Speaker 2: ends their super chats to the game mess shows with penis.
Speaker 4: Give us your extra penis. Give us to do that
Speaker 4: here you can.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure that Magic the Gathering would love to
Speaker 1: follow all the penis talk with a fun reveal of
Speaker 1: three new cards for the final fitnesssee uh set coming out.
Speaker 1: We got Rufus Shinra here, Uh Scorpion Sentinel and Cipher
Speaker 1: Almazi here. This this isn't helping my my problem here, gang.
Speaker 5: Man, you like drop this on us like like like
Speaker 5: basically during the meetings, like oh bye way we have
Speaker 5: like some magic revewals and we're like, what explained? I
Speaker 5: stay even no, it was the final Fantasy We got
Speaker 5: Cipher and Rufus. That's awesome.
Speaker 3: Look at Rufu.
Speaker 5: That Rufus boss fight and Foul Fantasy seven remake is
Speaker 5: an all timer boss fight. It's so freaking cool with
Speaker 5: his coin and his dog. And you don't get the
Speaker 5: pet the dog, you get to shoot it.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm now concerned about your own dog. Mike Monotony's great.
Speaker 1: My grandpa's dead. My grandpa can't hurt Penny.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 2: What there's a long history of his family just doing
Speaker 2: all kinds of stuff to dogs.
Speaker 3: Don't worry about it.
Speaker 1: What what it was?
Speaker 2: One dead?
Speaker 7: Let's get through the sponson Okay, right, yes, yes, all shouts,
Speaker 7: that's the Magic the Gather, Wizard of the Coast or
Speaker 7: a bunch of other outlets are revealing cards in lead
Speaker 7: up to the release of this set.
Speaker 1: Kenny Omega and Adam Cole did one at Packs East.
Speaker 1: So I think the gauntlet is being thrown down that
Speaker 1: I think Mike and I have to fight Blessing and
Speaker 1: Snowbike Mike in a two v two magic duel. I
Speaker 1: don't think they do that cool, but we'll do it.
Speaker 1: You know they used to do that, right, that used.
Speaker 3: To be a thing, or did I imagine all that?
Speaker 5: Imagine you can just do ones on ones and addap tallies.
Speaker 5: We can do a round robins tournament or something. All
Speaker 5: these cards are so cool. The Scorpions Sentinel from Final Fantasy.
Speaker 3: Oh, the quotes are so good.
Speaker 5: Cloud Strike says Barrett, be careful attack while its tails.
Speaker 5: It's going to care attact if it's laser. I remember
Speaker 5: when Cloud said that in the video game Final Fantasy seven.
Speaker 3: Thank you Mike.
Speaker 1: Do you remember there's no quote on the cipher al
Speaker 1: MASI quote amazing ALMASI amazing, amazing, Right, I guess.
Speaker 5: I would say, yeah, amaze, let's say amaze.
Speaker 1: You see this one's from the Final Fantasy eight set
Speaker 1: because you can see squall over there in the corner.
Speaker 1: But yeah, these cards are coming out soon and I
Speaker 1: can't wait to have my hands on them.
Speaker 3: How does it hands genuinely serious? How does it work?
Speaker 3: It's it's it's just like a separate game from like
Speaker 3: the regular magic stuff.
Speaker 5: You could just put it in with all the other stuff.
Speaker 5: But like they're making decks that so I think I
Speaker 5: don't think there's an eight deck. There's a seventh deck,
Speaker 5: a six deck, a fourteen deck, and a ten deck
Speaker 5: Commander decks. Then there's some other stuff, and then there's
Speaker 5: just you know, booster packs with all sorts of cards
Speaker 5: from all across the frontis as well. Yeah, it looks
Speaker 5: really cool. We're getting a ton of amazing art for
Speaker 5: this thing, just like these cards right here. It looks
Speaker 5: really really cool. I love Final Fantasy, and I am
Speaker 5: going incredibly vertical for all of this.
Speaker 4: Hey do you grandpa kill a dog? Yeah, so let's
Speaker 4: talk about dog murder?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 3: Is that what happened?
Speaker 5: Okay, well this is my story to tell.
Speaker 2: Well now, yeah, because don't remember the details.
Speaker 5: I was good.
Speaker 2: I wondered, like, are we talking about the one where
Speaker 2: he shot a dog? Or there is another one where
Speaker 2: your grandma hung a dog?
Speaker 5: There's okay, you know what what Wait a second, wait
Speaker 5: a second, you know.
Speaker 3: Let's get to that later. Cut the music. Your grandma
Speaker 3: hung a dog.
Speaker 5: That dog was fine. I saved it.
Speaker 2: He might actually saved the dog. It was an accident,
Speaker 2: all right. It's when I just make it funny. Okay,
Speaker 2: why did your grandpa shoot a dog?
Speaker 3: He did it because he didn't want it anymore. That's
Speaker 3: the option. Look it was the two thousands, all right,
Speaker 3: this was the eighties.
Speaker 5: This is the seventies.
Speaker 3: Was the dog like racist or something that it was
Speaker 3: my dad's dog and my.
Speaker 5: Dad away to college. If my dad went the way
Speaker 5: to bed school and my grandpa. Every time my dad
Speaker 5: called back, he'd be like, oh, yeah, the dog's not
Speaker 5: looking too good today, and each I was like, oh,
Speaker 5: it's looking worse and worse, and eventually was like, oh
Speaker 5: the dog died, and then by later why the dog?
Speaker 3: This was premeditated? So he like planted this seed.
Speaker 5: My grandma didn't kill a dog in anger.
Speaker 3: No, but I know, like that would be better. I
Speaker 3: don't understand. So he like slowly but surely dropped seeds.
Speaker 3: To your dad, he's like, a dog's looking shit, Yeah,
Speaker 3: trying to winter.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2: Look he should not have done that.
Speaker 1: No, yeah, yeah, is that why you have like a
Speaker 1: weird thing when you can pet a dog in a game?
Speaker 3: No, that's the thing. It would never hurt a dog
Speaker 3: for God's sake.
Speaker 6: Okay, Well, I douce your chat coming in telling me
Speaker 6: to ask you what side your family fought on in
Speaker 6: World War Two?
Speaker 5: Wow?
Speaker 3: Okay, my grandpa wasn't Italian there's a will. Well, it
Speaker 3: was Italian, so he lived in.
Speaker 5: Italy during you know, the thirties and early forties.
Speaker 3: So yeah, he he thought it sounded like he was
Speaker 3: selecting from a menu game. I'm not a history.
Speaker 5: By Didn't you say you have a family from Germany?
Speaker 3: I think?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 5: Yeah, what do you think they were doing during World
Speaker 5: War Two?
Speaker 3: I don't know them.
Speaker 5: I get it just following the eventually captured by the
Speaker 5: Nazis instead, because they turned against Italy and they killed
Speaker 5: everybody in his platoon but him and his friend because
Speaker 5: they could cut hair. So then they had their barbers
Speaker 5: in some pow camp and then it was liberated by
Speaker 5: the Americans, right, but like they didn't trust the Americans
Speaker 5: yet either, because they were just fighting them a few
Speaker 5: years ago, so they had to kind of just like slowly.
Speaker 5: They just kind of stayed in their bunker for a
Speaker 5: few days because they were afraid to get out. Then
Speaker 5: finally just sort of left, just kind of walked out,
Speaker 5: and I think they were in Germany or France and
Speaker 5: they just started walking back to Italy or something, and
Speaker 5: they eventually got there thanks to magical gathering.
Speaker 3: For uh, that's pretty good.
Speaker 1: So again, the cars are roofs, shouldn't Scorpion Sentinel's cipher
Speaker 1: all bazy coming out during the subset.
Speaker 5: He was a sauted in Italy. His his mother was
Speaker 5: a famous opera singer.
Speaker 3: So so so so if your grandfather is your grandfather, yeah,
Speaker 3: my grandpa Ma Natti. So if you're so so. If
Speaker 3: Grandpa Manati wasn't a good barber, you would not be allowed.
Speaker 5: He wasn't even that good. He would cut my dad's
Speaker 5: There was terrible.
Speaker 3: And there's some sort of irony with you being bald
Speaker 3: and all this that I don't know. You can't trust
Speaker 3: bald barbers. Okay, you just can't.
Speaker 5: That was great. He was well except for the dog
Speaker 5: killing thing.
Speaker 1: Girl.
Speaker 3: All right, ship he earned it. Okay, I'm glad.
Speaker 1: All Both of my grandpas are dead and I never
Speaker 1: met them, so I didn't learn any deep lore.
Speaker 3: It's probably for the best.
Speaker 5: Jan you know, he loved wine. My dad doesn't drink,
Speaker 5: never drink much, but my grandpa, like later on, I
Speaker 5: smelled wise it thought. I'm like, that's grandpa.
Speaker 3: Don't understand like spelling.
Speaker 4: I think it's church.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I kind of like that, but more the
Speaker 5: Italian wine is a it's more intense, is yeah?
Speaker 3: Is Italian wine like? Is that higher? Like higher? High brow? Lowbrow?
Speaker 3: And compared to Italian brain Rot, Mike Italian brain Rot
Speaker 3: and Mike, I like that.
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: Games?
Speaker 1: Uh? Jeff Greb and I recorded a quick look over
Speaker 1: the weekend for Despilote, a very relevant game compared to
Speaker 1: everything we've talked about childhood memories in grub wars it again.
Speaker 3: Is it an Ecuador?
Speaker 2: It's an Ecuador. Yeah, yeah, travels throughout the different dates
Speaker 2: of the team Ecuador trying to qualify for the World Cup.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: The quick look is probably going to go up after
Speaker 1: the show today. I don't have any more expanded thoughts
Speaker 1: than how grub talked about it the last time we
Speaker 1: brought up. But Despilote is such a fantastic indie vehicle
Speaker 1: for like telling someone's story. It means that they do it,
Speaker 1: and like there are select pieces that are kind of
Speaker 1: highlighted or stick out from like the this person's memories
Speaker 1: from like these specific events. It's really neat. I do
Speaker 1: like the blurred out kind of de res textures of
Speaker 1: some of the other areas in it. It's it's really cool.
Speaker 6: I'm a sucker for whenever the show real footage amidst
Speaker 6: like game stuff. A solid one at the same way,
Speaker 6: but it's not exactly like that was just full on
Speaker 6: f and b of like nukes going off. This one
Speaker 6: is like you'll see a TV of a soccer game
Speaker 6: in the midst of a like diegetically like imposed into
Speaker 6: like it looks really cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great. Yeah. Yeah, the visual style like it
Speaker 2: serves a purpose while also looking fantastic. That's a good
Speaker 2: thing for indie game to kind of pull up for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Very small team. The game is like less than three
Speaker 1: four hours, so if you're looking to have an emotional,
Speaker 1: quick emotional journey that you can experience one percent, go
Speaker 1: with that. Also, you can kick a Shrek DVD so
Speaker 1: that's fantastic. Ah cool right, speaking about kicking things, we
Speaker 1: kicked it on Friday by playing the Mosquito game.
Speaker 4: It was fun.
Speaker 6: It was time the Mosquito cover of What a Gasolina
Speaker 6: and All Star and a Gangster's Paradise, right Yeah, yes, played.
Speaker 2: On the kazoo to sound like a mosquito. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: was very good. This is you know, this is one
Speaker 2: of these asymmetrical multiplayer games. One versus a team of players.
Speaker 2: It's best if you have friends like doing all the roles. Sure,
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't know if I'll ever play this game again,
Speaker 5: but it's one of those games where I'm like, I'm
Speaker 5: very glad we had an excuse to do it because
Speaker 5: it was an awesome afternoon.
Speaker 4: Right one before, so it was like perfect for us.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not like, you know, is it balanced very
Speaker 5: well right now? But is it really silly and funny?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it It definitely felt like one of those like
Speaker 1: Texas Chainsaw massacre or what's the.
Speaker 2: Really big one by day light?
Speaker 1: Yea, by daylight where uh, you know, you may be
Speaker 1: better served if there was progress carried over from round
Speaker 1: to round because the human is definitely a little bit.
Speaker 3: Lacking in the lead up.
Speaker 5: Yea.
Speaker 2: You know, we weren't doing like like someone pointed out,
Speaker 2: like had we been closing doors behind us in one
Speaker 2: of these levels and then the mosquitoes had to fly
Speaker 2: down and go through the little trap door.
Speaker 5: It's like, oh duh, we just weren't even thinking there's
Speaker 5: that deep let alone, like probably there's probably a couple
Speaker 5: more levels below that that we didn't even scratch. So
Speaker 5: the fact that we weren't doing the most basic stuff
Speaker 5: that makes a lot of sense, although you know, so
Speaker 5: the way it was working for us playing as the
Speaker 5: human was like, you know, try to kill them as.
Speaker 2: Much as you can throughout the level. Really though, if
Speaker 2: you could just kill one at the very end, you win,
Speaker 2: because all four have to escape for the mosquitoes to win.
Speaker 2: So it kind of did bring all down to that
Speaker 2: one moment. So it's like if they were if I
Speaker 2: were designing this, I would try to find more ways
Speaker 2: to mitigate that or kind of force confrontations at other points.
Speaker 2: But for what it is, again, we were having.
Speaker 6: A good time, and I do wish that Like there
Speaker 6: are parts where it's like there's one that's like a
Speaker 6: Jurassic Park level basically, and there's like a big mosquito
Speaker 6: in a tube and there's like three color coded like
Speaker 6: you know, chemicals you can put in. And I thought
Speaker 6: that something was gonna happen where it's like, oh, it's
Speaker 6: gonna let this big mosquito loose and help me or whatever,
Speaker 6: but it's just like everything just kind of winds up
Speaker 6: giving you money, you know. So I mean again, small team,
Speaker 6: small game, but like you know, some more fun things
Speaker 6: they could have done with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was a pleasantly surprised after UPF. Also, we
Speaker 1: need more Mosquito games?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: I did someone say in the chat that there was
Speaker 6: a Mister Mosquito two that only came out in Japan.
Speaker 4: Because that's the case.
Speaker 3: I think that's true. Gotta try that.
Speaker 4: I'll find out right now, grub Yeah, let.
Speaker 3: Me know, all right.
Speaker 1: Moving along the train of games, speaking about trains, Dan Raiker,
Speaker 1: you played Monster Train.
Speaker 4: To Oh my goodness, I have been deep in that.
Speaker 4: I didn't play the first one.
Speaker 3: Was that?
Speaker 6: I said, nice, Oh, yes, Bonk had played the first one.
Speaker 6: I know she or she was big on like Slay
Speaker 6: the Spires. She got me kind of into that, and
Speaker 6: I think I always thought that Monster Train was just
Speaker 6: like a Slay the Spire thing, But it's it is
Speaker 6: in a way that it's a deck builder, but there's
Speaker 6: also some like I don't want to call it auto
Speaker 6: battling because I think that's selling it short. But it's
Speaker 6: like you're kind of placing your units on the three
Speaker 6: levels of the train to start, and then the actual
Speaker 6: battles aren't like you aren't playing a card every single time.
Speaker 6: You were attacking, you kind of set up the pieces
Speaker 6: and then a combat run goes almost like the Unicorn Overlord,
Speaker 6: you know, where it's like you just kind of watch
Speaker 6: the battles and you kind of set the pieces in motion.
Speaker 6: But yeah, it's really cool, like you'll get your like
Speaker 6: primary clan your secondary one, and so you can mix
Speaker 6: those cards. There's a lot of fun like senergies and
Speaker 6: things like that. I'm like, I think I played like
Speaker 6: seven or eight hours this weekend and I still feel
Speaker 6: like I'm very very early on. I've only unlocked three
Speaker 6: of the five I have like factions, very very intimidating
Speaker 6: at first that you know, there's I've played Slay the
Speaker 6: Spire in some games like this, but it's just like
Speaker 6: a lot of learning, like what these terms are, what
Speaker 6: you know valor means, what all these different.
Speaker 1: But the tooltip situation is very very good. So if
Speaker 1: you're ever confused about what something does, all the stuff
Speaker 1: is right there for you to figure it out.
Speaker 6: So yeah, it's really really loving it. It's more different
Speaker 6: than Slay the Spire than I expected, but just having
Speaker 6: a great time with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, out of all of the games that kind of
Speaker 1: came after Slay at the Spire. I think Monster Train
Speaker 1: one is the one that hit with me the most.
Speaker 1: I know there was grift Lands and that didn't really
Speaker 1: land with me too much. The Steam world, what was
Speaker 1: the card based one?
Speaker 5: They're all card based.
Speaker 1: Well, there was like one that it was like medieval setting,
Speaker 1: like a party of three, I know what you're talking,
Speaker 1: and of GILGAMEC think oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, GILGAMEC Yes, yeah.
Speaker 3: Uh and and that didn't really resonate with me.
Speaker 1: I'm really excited to check out Monster Train to Dan
Speaker 1: did does still have like the weird Hell versus Heaven
Speaker 1: aesthetic of everything.
Speaker 6: It's got some of that going on. Honestly, the narrative
Speaker 6: stuff I've just been kind of blazing through. It doesn't
Speaker 6: important to me at least, So yeah, I just kind
Speaker 6: of went right through it. But incredible Steam deck game.
Speaker 1: Obviously fantastic, Yeah, real quick.
Speaker 2: I was able to confirm the existence of mister Mosquito
Speaker 2: too by going to the Giantess Wiki, which is one
Speaker 2: of the first results when you google mister Mosquito Too,
Speaker 2: because all the characters are going to be gigantic and
Speaker 2: apparently they're fansible. Giant Tess Wiki I heard.
Speaker 3: Giant tests, as in like a giant scientist.
Speaker 2: But you mean the fetishis yes, yeah, they don't have
Speaker 2: a giant science.
Speaker 4: Clarifying jan transition to a game that I didn't play.
Speaker 4: I gotta go to the bathroom.
Speaker 3: Oh there you go.
Speaker 1: Okay, I was about kee up another one of his games,
Speaker 1: but instead I'll just talk Pantasy walked away.
Speaker 3: Something snuck up and bit him.
Speaker 1: You saw that, right, All of a sudden, he's about
Speaker 1: to inflict Doom on a toilet, I believe. But Mike Manatti,
Speaker 1: you've been playing Doom two. Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I kind of got that Doom one plus two
Speaker 5: more recent compilation remastering. That's it's all on everything. But
Speaker 5: I was playing on switch. You know, I played these
Speaker 5: games back in the day, but I didn't beat them,
Speaker 5: so I finished TOOM one. I'm like, man, that's still
Speaker 5: really good. I played even less of Doom two back then.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: I think the subtitle was Hell on Earth, and as
Speaker 5: a kid, I was like, I think this might be
Speaker 5: too much for me. It has the word hell in it,
Speaker 5: Like that's a swear of Like what will I do
Speaker 5: if my parents catch me playing this? It's finny to
Speaker 5: play it now. But oh, this is basically just Doom
Speaker 5: one with some extra stuff, and it's the extra stuff
Speaker 5: is cool. You get the super shotgun for the first time,
Speaker 5: you get the Revenants, the maps are really big, you
Speaker 5: got some set and you know, like things like cities,
Speaker 5: but still very much that Doom one tech. But playing
Speaker 5: through it was a ton of fun. So I was actually,
Speaker 5: how much fun I still have playing through Doom one
Speaker 5: and Do two? You know, like, uh, the Dark Ages
Speaker 5: is out and that's great, and I've been playing that
Speaker 5: when I can. But you know, it's very easy for
Speaker 5: me to play games at night in my bed, so
Speaker 5: this has been sort of my go to for that,
Speaker 5: and you know, I map quick save to up on
Speaker 5: the Deep Path, quick loaded down the d pad.
Speaker 3: I'm not being too precious about that.
Speaker 5: I'll just save and load especially I need to so
Speaker 5: I can kind of get through everything and see it.
Speaker 5: And it's still a ton of fun, and it still
Speaker 5: feels like a good challenge doing that, just kind of
Speaker 5: clawing and scraping your way through all these difficult levels
Speaker 5: and actually, yeah, not bad. Actually you're right, that's embarrassing. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I apologize, but yes, I played some of these newer
Speaker 5: boomer shooters and they're fun. I know Dan played bolt Gun,
Speaker 5: he's going to talk about that. I liked to bolt Gun,
Speaker 5: but I kind of fell off that. It's kind of
Speaker 5: weird to me, Like, oh, actually, just like Doom, the
Speaker 5: game that started all this, and like its direct sequel
Speaker 5: is still better than a lot of these even today.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I I bull guns getting a sequel or deal
Speaker 2: or something. It's full sequel, all right, Yeah, it's it
Speaker 2: is weird, like how hard it is for indie games
Speaker 2: that are clearly inspired by genres like that to recapture that.
Speaker 2: So yeah, when I went back to Doom one and
Speaker 2: Doom two, when that got that a nightdive of treatment,
Speaker 2: it was like, yeah, this is refreshing, and how much
Speaker 2: it holds up. I'm glad it still does. I'm glad
Speaker 2: her Doom two does as well.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 5: It's wow, is there's so much more in this compilation,
Speaker 5: Like yeah, it's Doom one, Doom too, but it's all
Speaker 5: these other campaigns from like you know, like compilations from
Speaker 5: fans that were officially released at some point. John Romero
Speaker 5: twice went back. It just made like new campaigns something
Speaker 5: with an s like uh, Sigligel one and one and
Speaker 5: Sigil two that I think we're definitely the twentieth and
Speaker 5: then thirtieth anniversaries of Doom. So I could just go
Speaker 5: and play like tons more og Doom if I wanted to,
Speaker 5: and I.
Speaker 3: Like almost kind of Dow.
Speaker 5: So yeah, if you if you are Carriss up playing
Speaker 5: just the og Doom, it is still a ton of fun.
Speaker 5: Works great on Switch, so I'm sure it works great everywhere.
Speaker 5: I mean it should. It's a very old game. But
Speaker 5: for so long, Jeff, you know this, we just didn't
Speaker 5: get good Doom ports. It was a very difficult thing.
Speaker 1: I've never played in any of the original Dooms, really
Speaker 1: not even touched them. I mean on a friend, I
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't remember if it was Doom, but
Speaker 1: a friend showed me on his t I eighty four
Speaker 1: Texas instruments calculator.
Speaker 3: I think he was Doom.
Speaker 2: Might have been it was probably Doom.
Speaker 3: You do you think that's just a consequence of like
Speaker 3: your generational like blinders right where you know, I didn't.
Speaker 1: Have access to like a PC maybe until like high
Speaker 1: school in terms of like something that could actually play something.
Speaker 1: But yeah, hearing Mike wax poetically about these previous Doom
Speaker 1: ports makes me curious.
Speaker 5: I mean it helps us because it's like for us,
Speaker 5: it was everywhere it was inescapable, so it like and
Speaker 5: then you know, I played it a lot at the time,
Speaker 5: but it's like even now when I think about it,
Speaker 5: it's it's.
Speaker 2: This important thing. So it's like an artifact almost. Yeah,
Speaker 2: if you don't have that context, I wonder if it
Speaker 2: changes things a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like when I really I was you
Speaker 3: were talking about it last week, and I was thinking
Speaker 3: about like my first memories of playing it, and it
Speaker 3: was sort of like the first exposure I had to
Speaker 3: like gore. Yeah, you know, like of like video game gore.
Speaker 3: And then you know, Doom does that weird thing where
Speaker 3: like all the sprites face you no matter where you're looking. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and it kind of like makes it all about you
Speaker 3: in a weird way, right where you're just like forced
Speaker 3: to kind of like face that and to hear the
Speaker 3: sounds and do all that. Yeah, it's uh, I do. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Maybe I was just a little soft when I first
Speaker 3: was exposed to Doom, but Doune kind of scared me
Speaker 3: a little bit. Guys like scary Doom was like a
Speaker 3: little I think a little above my head when I
Speaker 3: when I sorry, Dan, I'm too soft for you, and I'm.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm younger, and I thought Doom was cool
Speaker 4: as hell as a kid.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, look, I'm just being honest with my emotions,
Speaker 3: you know, just trying to tell you here.
Speaker 5: It's as close to essential reading as we get it
Speaker 5: with video games.
Speaker 6: Right, Everyone's okay, Okay, I played something doing one plus two.
Speaker 6: If that's what we're talking about, that that's very very good,
Speaker 6: really enjoying that.
Speaker 2: Nice? Nice? So are you how are you playing it?
Speaker 2: Are you playing on the switch like Mike or what?
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 6: I started playing with the controller on the big screen,
Speaker 6: and then I played with mouse and keyboard, and it's
Speaker 6: like this actually feels right because, you know, as much
Speaker 6: as I didn't play PC games growing up, Doom since
Speaker 6: it was sprite based, basically like my computer could actually
Speaker 6: run it, and so like it did, the mouse and keyboard,
Speaker 6: or specifically the keyboard, I guess felt right, you know, yes.
Speaker 2: Exactly, keyboard.
Speaker 3: It's the difference there, Yeah.
Speaker 2: For sure.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's almost weird having the mouse and then it's like, well,
Speaker 6: you can't look up and down and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: No mouse look, yeah, yep, yep.
Speaker 1: It's so interesting hearing you'll talk about how scary it was.
Speaker 1: And I remember Brad talking about how formative Doom was
Speaker 1: for him. Also, yeah, just me seeing it now in
Speaker 1: where I'm at, it's like, this was scary, guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean yeah it was. It was scary. You know,
Speaker 3: you had to like jump through hoops to get it
Speaker 3: to fucking run, and then all the sounds like the roaring.
Speaker 1: I thought never ending story was terrifying.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it was like the first movie I saw
Speaker 5: in theaters was never any story one or two, and yeah,
Speaker 5: scarred me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know how foul Core was supposed to
Speaker 1: be like a friendly character. That ship is scary.
Speaker 3: I think the rock thing is scarier than foul Caust,
Speaker 3: scarier like foul cors. Just a big dog, right, yeah,
Speaker 3: long dog, long dog with like a flying long dog
Speaker 3: who's never you know, the rock is really good.
Speaker 2: And she said the word you said the rock, and
Speaker 2: he heard it, and so now he wants to talk
Speaker 2: about the rock again.
Speaker 3: I wonder what was going on.
Speaker 4: I saw the Rock this weekend again. The Rock's good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we know, we we know z X poison gas,
Speaker 3: like we know.
Speaker 6: I made a cocktail based on ve I made a
Speaker 6: VX vile cocktails for me and my friends that looked
Speaker 6: like the Little Green Gimmicks and it was made with
Speaker 6: Medori and it was good and we watched your face.
Speaker 3: Did your face melt at the speed of sound or whatever?
Speaker 4: He says like, yeah, yes, melon, Yeah, it's a melon liqueur.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: Speaking about quick looks, Greb and I also did one
Speaker 1: for TMNT Tactical Takedown. This comes from strange scaffold. I.
Speaker 1: In the span of that quick look, Greb, I had
Speaker 1: told you that I went from not liking the game
Speaker 1: but enjoying the game, and unfortunately, I think I'm back
Speaker 1: to not liking the game. In terms of like a
Speaker 1: tactics game, this is like super duper light and it's
Speaker 1: kind of a bummer, especially after the tactics genre had
Speaker 1: such a strong year last year with Tactical Breech Wizards,
Speaker 1: which is a super fantastic game for you tile sikos
Speaker 1: like me out there. But I think where this falls
Speaker 1: short is that everything is fairly light because the the
Speaker 1: character pieces, like the turtles, the enemies, they all look
Speaker 1: like board game pieces like Warhammer figures that are stuck
Speaker 1: to a platform. And on top of that, each level
Speaker 1: you were playing, you were only playing as one Turtle,
Speaker 1: and that kind of defeats the purpose for me, huh, because,
Speaker 1: like you know, when you play those those beat them
Speaker 1: up games, part of the fun is playing with and
Speaker 1: playing with and seeing all of the turtles. I understand
Speaker 1: if you're playing solo dolo that you'd only be playing
Speaker 1: as one, but in a tactic setting where you could
Speaker 1: take your time, I feel like it would have lended
Speaker 1: itself to the benefit of the game to be able
Speaker 1: to play as at least two Turtles at a time.
Speaker 5: I mean, I've gotta be honest, I didn't get to
Speaker 5: watch that quickly yet I would have expected to play
Speaker 5: as all four turtles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 1: That being said, like the con the combat is is fine.
Speaker 1: I think Leonardo and Raphael are definitely more of much
Speaker 1: more fun to play as. This tactical takedown does a
Speaker 1: thing that is very popular in all tactics games now,
Speaker 1: where you just want to kind of kick someone off
Speaker 1: the edge of the level screen and that's fun. There
Speaker 1: is some synergy with the moves, so for instance, like Leonardo.
Speaker 1: If you knock out an enemy with one of his attacks,
Speaker 1: he gets like a buff and that leads into a
Speaker 1: more powerful attack the next action that he takes. But
Speaker 1: overall it does feel kind of super duper light. It
Speaker 1: also doesn't control well on a Steam deck. For me,
Speaker 1: this is like such a minor nitpick, but with a
Speaker 1: tactics game that has a grid a tile grid on it,
Speaker 1: I need to be able to use a dpad, and
Speaker 1: just being stuck with using an analog stick doesn't feel
Speaker 1: the best. The writing is also super light, which is
Speaker 1: kind of a surprise to me given Strange Scaffold's history
Speaker 1: with like making banger stories and having like really fantastic writing.
Speaker 1: It is a fairly like just feature light game, which
Speaker 1: is kind of a bum or because I'm just as
Speaker 1: much of a Turtle Sicco as i am a power
Speaker 1: Ranger Cicco. But yeah, if there was an option to
Speaker 1: maybe replay some of the levels as other turtles.
Speaker 3: That could be cool.
Speaker 1: I just don't see this game being able to integrate
Speaker 1: playing as multiple turtles in a stage. That being said,
Speaker 1: in the future, I think it would be sick as
Speaker 1: fuck to have an x Com style like game with
Speaker 1: all of the turtles at once. Maybe you throw in
Speaker 1: a Casey Jones in there as well, perhaps an April O'Neil.
Speaker 5: I'll give me April.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll give you April. Maybe you give him April.
Speaker 2: Don't give it to him.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: I feel tainted because are you Okay? No, I feel
Speaker 1: tainted because of Mike's uh just outright need for people.
Speaker 5: Yes, jan Jan Zachmo wants to know from a super
Speaker 5: chat who everyone's favorite turtle is. We know that you're
Speaker 5: a Leo guy. Dan, you're Donatello? Really, because I could
Speaker 5: see it being like Donna. Tello's a and a loser,
Speaker 5: but he was.
Speaker 4: Smart and had a bowstad That's who I was for Halloween.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like cool.
Speaker 6: By the way, I'm sorry about your pa. The transition
Speaker 6: was happening and I saw it. I know, hang on
Speaker 6: to it, hang on Mike.
Speaker 3: Okay. It was a balance because Mike said, well, we're
Speaker 3: getting money, so I understand that.
Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, that's where James going. I don't want to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's let's the Michaelangelo.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm uh, I'm a basic bitch.
Speaker 1: I didn't like Michael Angelo. Oh yeah, I know, he
Speaker 1: wasn't taking it seriously enough, Oh my lord, too much
Speaker 1: of a goober.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tello could fight and he could do.
Speaker 5: I don't know if there is a funnier reason you
Speaker 5: could have said for not liking something.
Speaker 2: I don't think there is a funnier thing.
Speaker 1: You There were steaks, there's a fucking technodrome out there.
Speaker 1: Somebody pizza a day.
Speaker 3: Therefore, Dan Reker cannot respect it. He wasn't the only
Speaker 3: one advocating for pizza pizza, but he.
Speaker 1: Seemed distracted by pizza, where the others were like, well,
Speaker 1: we have to eat to fuel ourselves.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, you're pitting all the pizza shiit on
Speaker 3: Michael Angelo, and I think that's at the service to
Speaker 3: the rest of the group. Was the only one adc
Speaker 3: your favorite. I embraced the the the entire group. I
Speaker 3: guess I really kind of liked Raphael, maybe more based
Speaker 3: on you split though, right, because you're like, it's not
Speaker 3: a real dad, well, forgot about that, but a father
Speaker 3: figure and an important one and an invaluable one of course.
Speaker 3: Like I love Splinter, He's also seems like the one
Speaker 3: I'd want to most cozy up with and like give
Speaker 3: a hug to sure.
Speaker 1: Do you guys remember in the Michael Bay TMNT movies
Speaker 1: Then no, I've never seen them. Okay, well, Splinter is
Speaker 1: played by Tony Shalhoub.
Speaker 3: Really actually amazing and further solidifies my coziness declaration. But
Speaker 3: you know, Rafael was kind of funny in the movies too,
Speaker 3: because he was sort of like he sort of had
Speaker 3: this Brooklyn accent for no reason from New York.
Speaker 2: That's a reason.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he swore, what do you in that movie? It's
Speaker 3: a damn.
Speaker 5: He's a damn.
Speaker 3: That's not swearing. I swear.
Speaker 4: That's the entry level swear.
Speaker 3: Damn. Fuck.
Speaker 2: But my kid's been singing that Steve's Lava Chickens song
Speaker 2: and he says hell and that so Addie keeps singing it,
Speaker 2: and she says hell every time she looks at me
Speaker 2: every time, and every time I laugh because it's the
Speaker 2: funniest thing.
Speaker 3: I can't say hell like mine's the worst reason. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 3: Leonardo just seemed like a cop. I guess a little bit.
Speaker 3: I just like all the boy Scout characters in America.
Speaker 3: It's Cyclops, it's Simon from the Chipmunks. But I do
Speaker 3: think I don't think any turtle gets like more hate
Speaker 3: than the other ones, you know, like or deserves more.
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, I think as far as like four
Speaker 3: characters are concerned, they really did a good job at
Speaker 3: developing like that stuff in a in a pretty surprising way.
Speaker 1: You know, guys, if you look at the fucking lore
Speaker 1: behind Cyclops and Leonardo, they're not fucking cops.
Speaker 3: All right, that is what propagranda is put in your
Speaker 3: fucking heads.
Speaker 5: Pick up a goddamn book my tainted my segue so
Speaker 5: grub Tainted.
Speaker 2: Grail, The Fall of Avalon?
Speaker 3: All right, yeah, good job, good job. He does wear blue.
Speaker 3: Let's just say, okay, he does wear blue.
Speaker 2: Got us track on track?
Speaker 3: So does Paddington from this rage? Oh god?
Speaker 5: Y all right?
Speaker 2: Have any of you heard of Tainted Grail The Fall
Speaker 2: of Avalon?
Speaker 5: Is it like King Arthur Ship?
Speaker 1: It is?
Speaker 2: It is King Arthur Ship. Yeah, it's okay. Here's how
Speaker 2: it starts. You select some character qualities while someone talks
Speaker 2: to you. They happen to be on the other side
Speaker 2: of a jail cell. You're inside the jail cell, and
Speaker 2: you have to escape this jail cell dungeon from the
Speaker 2: bottom of this cat. It's oblivion. It's so obliviant cop it.
Speaker 5: Know what I was expecting. This looks fancy.
Speaker 2: It's so I think there's this thing where it's like
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people who are like, man, all
Speaker 2: I ever want to do are play these, but as
Speaker 2: the open world RPGs, people should make more of those.
Speaker 2: This is someone saying we'll do that, and we're gonna
Speaker 2: do it like with Arthurian Legend, and we'll have all
Speaker 2: the magic stuff you like. It is an open world
Speaker 2: action Western RPG with pretty decent like production values and
Speaker 2: storytelling and acting. It's not like trying to be triple
Speaker 2: a blockbuster on a level for all of those qualities.
Speaker 2: But it's really good in all of those qualities, at
Speaker 2: least so far, and I'm surprised at how fun it
Speaker 2: is to play. I think they kind of rub off
Speaker 2: some of the rough edges from the genre, where it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: the lock picking works just like Oblivion, but it's a
Speaker 2: little bit easier. Actually, actually, you know what, That one's
Speaker 2: more like Skyrim. They don't use the Oblivion lock picking there.
Speaker 5: But either way, they are picking from the genre, doing
Speaker 5: the stuff that people like, and delivering something I think
Speaker 5: is pretty good. I've only just kind of started getting
Speaker 5: in there and seeing how it operates. So I'll be
Speaker 5: curious to see if you can keep my interest.
Speaker 3: Like what are the quests?
Speaker 5: Like, I don't have answers to that right now because
Speaker 5: I've not gone deep on any of the quests, but
Speaker 5: the initial sort of like the way it introduces itself
Speaker 5: to the player, I thought worked really well.
Speaker 4: Is King Arthur real?
Speaker 3: Like, oh, like real person? I don't know, probably but
Speaker 3: very old?
Speaker 4: So is this based and like does this have magic
Speaker 4: and stuff in it? Or is this try to be
Speaker 4: in like realist.
Speaker 2: In the video I'm watching right now as I talk
Speaker 2: to you, there's a guy that just rubbed his hand
Speaker 2: on a sword and the sword caught on fire. And
Speaker 2: that's not that's not a shoe.
Speaker 1: So historical context, but with Fana elements, you know, the
Speaker 1: historical context is your overstate.
Speaker 2: It's like it's pulling from the myth, the Arthur legend.
Speaker 2: So whether he's real or not doesn't matter, Like that's
Speaker 2: they're not they're not worried about it.
Speaker 3: You weren't asking if magic's real. I know, I just know.
Speaker 3: I'm just putting.
Speaker 5: I knew there there might have been Arthur, but he
Speaker 5: would not have resembled anything that you think of when
Speaker 5: you said about King Arthur.
Speaker 2: It would be completely unrelated and everything you've ever heard
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 4: Okay, so this is not a Kingdom gum realistic thing.
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no, no, okay, but it's you know,
Speaker 2: still in that open world RPG genre, although you know
Speaker 2: that Kingdom comes very much about like being a dude
Speaker 2: having to like do these things in that world, and
Speaker 2: this is you know, you're gonna go learn some magic spells,
Speaker 2: and you're gonna get some cool armor and some cool
Speaker 2: items and equip those to your character and so you
Speaker 2: can go do more quests and get even cooler items.
Speaker 2: I am happy to see a game like.
Speaker 5: This can be pulled off without having to be like
Speaker 5: one of the biggest games in the world, right and
Speaker 5: for a long period there. To make a game this
Speaker 5: robust and with this like you know, the size of
Speaker 5: a world, you'd have to justify it by being like, well,
Speaker 5: we're gonna sell a ton of copies and we can
Speaker 5: make it make sense that way. Here, it's like, no,
Speaker 5: they're just gonna do their thing because they like it.
Speaker 5: And I think there's gonna be an audience there for it.
Speaker 5: So it's wow. We weren't getting very many of these
Speaker 5: games for a while and then like this year, the
Speaker 5: floodgates have opened quite a bit. We got Kingdom Com,
Speaker 5: we did get a VOW, we got Oblivion, and now
Speaker 5: this just tons of these now a vow this year, right,
Speaker 5: that was yeah earlier this year, holy smoked.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Moving on to things that may be
Speaker 1: questionable if they are real or not. Warhammer, Bolt Gun,
Speaker 1: Words of Vengeance.
Speaker 6: Yes, look, they just any game comes out and it's
Speaker 6: the typing of the dead, Like I'm gonna play it.
Speaker 6: That's all I need, and that's all this is. It's
Speaker 6: it's free to play, play it on Steam. I assume
Speaker 6: it's just on Steam unless it'd be weird to plug
Speaker 6: in a keyboard to a console. But yeah, it's the
Speaker 6: same type of thing where you're typing it in words
Speaker 6: as it pops up above characters heads to kill them
Speaker 6: and shoot them, and then occasionally there will be a
Speaker 6: guy flying around throwing fireballs at you and stuff. You
Speaker 6: got to like, you know, individual letters real quick before
Speaker 6: they hit you. It is straight up typing the dead
Speaker 6: and it's not trying to be anything else, and that
Speaker 6: is like my favorite one off weird experiment was like, oh,
Speaker 6: let's take this established franchise and just make it a
Speaker 6: typing game. Which that that went further where it's like
Speaker 6: they got dreamcast strap of their backs and everything.
Speaker 3: But why am I not doing this? Doing what this?
Speaker 3: Like the typing stuff? This seems like it's for me.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, macklerk, it's have you not played Typing the Dead?
Speaker 3: I played tapping in that.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, well then try this out.
Speaker 6: The only thing I don't love about this is that
Speaker 6: so many of the things are like proper nouns from
Speaker 6: the Warhammer universe. So it's like there's a certain amount
Speaker 6: of muscle memory where it's.
Speaker 1: Like I'm typing, it's like that's how Typing the Dead
Speaker 1: did it, Whereas like this will be like it's Harald
Speaker 1: of pinoxa Dilphin.
Speaker 4: It's like I'm not used to typing or whatever.
Speaker 3: That's stupids a little hard.
Speaker 4: I wish I could toggle off, like I just make
Speaker 4: this real words, but it's still very fun.
Speaker 3: What kind of keyboard you're rocking with? This? Are we?
Speaker 4: Like's the one you recommended to me?
Speaker 3: This is this guy of the key chrome? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Actually no, I guess I was playing it with
Speaker 4: a wireless earlier.
Speaker 3: But yeah, so you just lie got it, that's right, Becklar.
Speaker 1: Did you ever check out check out crypt Master? That
Speaker 1: was another type.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I supposed to do it. I installed it,
Speaker 3: and then I don't know. I just kept kind of
Speaker 3: living my life and not going playing that so interesting
Speaker 3: and weird.
Speaker 2: I like it a lot.
Speaker 3: I gotta fucking get back to that, all right, I'll
Speaker 3: do it.
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of games that are just in
Speaker 1: black and white. Yeah, yeah, just like the television that
Speaker 1: my grandmother used to watch. Speaking about Grandma's Dan, you've
Speaker 1: been playing something called Grandma No.
Speaker 4: Yeah, with an exclamation point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very octo dad, ask it's in the octo
Speaker 1: dad genre, and that it's a it's just a family
Speaker 1: at home, and it's very physics y and wobbly and weird,
Speaker 1: and except for instead of an octopus, your grandma and you're.
Speaker 4: Just there's a few areas.
Speaker 6: There's like the foyer, the backyard, the living room, and
Speaker 6: there's just dumb shit you have to do, Like you've
Speaker 6: got a quest log that pops up with like okay,
Speaker 6: plant these seeds do this thing, and you're usually just
Speaker 6: like fighting with physics and carrying things around, cleaning things up.
Speaker 6: Sometimes it'll spawn like a Warrior Wear type minigame where
Speaker 6: it's just like you're controlling her hands as you're like
Speaker 6: sorting things and stuff like that.
Speaker 4: There's a fart button and that's fun. It does the
Speaker 4: thing lines and everything, and then sometimes it's either a
Speaker 4: puke or a sneeze button. I'm not sure, depending on
Speaker 4: the Like when you go in the backyard, the fart
Speaker 4: button was making me like eject green stuff from my face,
Speaker 4: which I feel maybe they're trying to do a sneeze
Speaker 4: thing with that, but uh, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: We got to figure out the answer to this, Dan,
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be able to rest, and so I
Speaker 2: know if it's puke or if it's not.
Speaker 6: I don't I don't remember. I think it was a
Speaker 6: lot like when I think vomit, I don't think. I
Speaker 6: don't think green vomit. I think a brownish, brownish thing
Speaker 6: where it's like I think this is a sneeze I believe.
Speaker 6: But yeah, it's like it's one of those games where
Speaker 6: it's like you watch two seconds of it in the
Speaker 6: video and it's like, Oh, I get what this is
Speaker 6: gonna be. It's gonna be a silly fun like I
Speaker 6: streamed it and I saw credits. It's a short name,
Speaker 6: but yeah, it definitely was making me laugh throughout.
Speaker 2: Is it a like do you take damage or is
Speaker 2: it just like causing havoc? Like how does like what's
Speaker 2: the risk reward here?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 4: There's it's I don't think I died at any point.
Speaker 3: It's just like.
Speaker 2: Planted, she didn't break a hip or something.
Speaker 6: Now you fall down a lot and you have to,
Speaker 6: like it, impress buttons to get back up, but there's
Speaker 6: no lives. I don't remember any kind of game over screen.
Speaker 6: It would just be like, oh, I need to plant
Speaker 6: these four seeds, or I need to cut this lawn
Speaker 6: or you know, do this thing.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna put this in front of my kids, like
Speaker 5: I want to play it too. When I'm gonna put
Speaker 5: this in from my kids, and I bet they're gonna
Speaker 5: have fun with it like simulator esque.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, totally in that vein. Yes, I bet your
Speaker 4: kids will like it.
Speaker 2: Okay, cool? Oh man, those are some cool raccoons too,
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: This grandma looks like my shoot grandma, and I think
Speaker 1: I'll maybe come all to play this.
Speaker 3: She's also very little. It has long stretching arms.
Speaker 1: Speaking about Grandma's, no one, I haven't seen a grandma
Speaker 1: in this video game.
Speaker 3: I don't know who put this on. Claire Obscure Expedition
Speaker 3: thirty three.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've been playing even more of this this long weekend.
Speaker 5: Spent a lot of time streaming and playing that. And
Speaker 5: I think, you know, everyone knows this game is very
Speaker 5: very good, But boy, this game is very very, very
Speaker 5: very good. I like, I don't mean to merely pity
Speaker 5: against me. Like last year there was Metaphor in Frontasi,
Speaker 5: I was like, I can't believe we got such a
Speaker 5: good one of these, maybe the best one we've gone
Speaker 5: since the golden age of JRPG's. And unless this gave somebow,
Speaker 5: like really doesn't stick the landing. I probably like this
Speaker 5: even more than Metaphor. It's so freaking fu It's just it's,
Speaker 5: you know, metaphor. There are times where it's like, okay,
Speaker 5: time to take a break. I almost never want to
Speaker 5: stop playing this game. It's just a matter of I
Speaker 5: guess I better go to bed or something now, or
Speaker 5: people are expecting me to be at this place, so
Speaker 5: I guess I gotta say goodbye to my French family
Speaker 5: for for a bit. That's really great because you know,
Speaker 5: like I'm like twenty hours in now. So the amount
Speaker 5: of character customization is fantastic, with the pictos that kind
Speaker 5: of give you different perks and each weapon. You know,
Speaker 5: weapons aren't just statistics. They also have their own kind
Speaker 5: of passives that really change the way you play with
Speaker 5: the character. It's just like combine that stuff. I just
Speaker 5: have these character bills. I almost it almost feels like
Speaker 5: I'm cheating sometimes how overpowered they are. Like Lune was
Speaker 5: kind of the wizard of the group. If I shoot people,
Speaker 5: I get these stacks and then I could spend those
Speaker 5: on spells, and I'm just like doing that so much
Speaker 5: in my first turn, dealing massive amount of damage and
Speaker 5: massive amounts of break damage, so characters are getting stunned.
Speaker 5: It is feeling so satisfying in the story. Beach, just
Speaker 5: keep coming a party member. Try to proposition me. On
Speaker 5: my last playthrough. It was very exciting, but I had
Speaker 5: to say no because I may be more interested in
Speaker 5: a different party member. But the game was like very
Speaker 5: much like you know, try to tell me, it's okay.
Speaker 5: They like, well, yeah, see I was disappointed, but she understands,
Speaker 5: and in fact you're better friends. I'm like, okay, game,
Speaker 5: thank you for taking the guilt away.
Speaker 2: I felt terrible, Like, okay, you felt guilty for not
Speaker 2: sleeping with his character. Yeah, okay, all right, Yes, I
Speaker 2: thought you were saying the I was saying, it's okay,
Speaker 2: sleep with this one because you'll still get to sleep
Speaker 2: with the other one.
Speaker 5: In fact, I asked my chat They're very like, don't
Speaker 5: don't sleep with her. You won't get to sleep with
Speaker 5: the other one. All right, that's important.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: Mike, how do you feel about the pacing of this,
Speaker 1: because you know, part of I can't look at Metaphor
Speaker 1: as fondly because of how much time I spent in
Speaker 1: that world.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I liked Metaphor a lot. I think
Speaker 5: all these JRPGs being eighty hours or more, I think
Speaker 5: this is I think it's a bit of a mistake
Speaker 5: that we've gotten a little comfortable with this. And it's
Speaker 5: funny with Metaphor because Persona did so much of making
Speaker 5: that a thing, right, Yeah, so I kind of get it.
Speaker 5: And with those games, there's so much of the social
Speaker 5: aspect and doing all of that right. But even that,
Speaker 5: sometimes the pacing is a little bit weird, where maybe
Speaker 5: you're doing that social stuff more than just dungeons. You
Speaker 5: kind of wish there was a bit more of that here.
Speaker 5: There is still like a campsite that you could talk
Speaker 5: to people and slow down a bit, but there is
Speaker 5: a lot more combat and action and important story beats here.
Speaker 5: The pacing is pretty immaculate. It's about as good as
Speaker 5: you can get one. It's not quite like Corono Trigger,
Speaker 5: I think is the all star when it comes to
Speaker 5: pacing in the JRPG. Right, it just kind of just goes,
Speaker 5: ghost goes, and it keeps saying interesting, it keeps showing
Speaker 5: you new things. Yeah. I really liked that this game
Speaker 5: has meaty dungeons. Like when you get to a dungeon,
Speaker 5: you're gonna maybe be there for an hour or so
Speaker 5: and you are exploring and you're fighting, and there might
Speaker 5: be a little story sentence here there, but no, just
Speaker 5: you get to play the game for a good while
Speaker 5: and the combat is so fun that you're happy about that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think Expedition thirty three is kind of breaking death.
Speaker 1: It's selling really well but minormy friends are like waxing
Speaker 1: poetically about it, and I never would have thought.
Speaker 3: It'd be on the radar when like it broke through.
Speaker 5: For sure, it broke through my my younger brother. I
Speaker 5: think the last turn based RPG he beats was Eternal
Speaker 5: Sonata for some reasons, Post three sixty just.
Speaker 3: Not really his genre. Yeah, big, yeah, exactly, But no,
Speaker 3: he's even other than me in this one.
Speaker 2: That's nuts.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 1: Okay, uh, all right, last game before we had to break.
Speaker 1: I really need to see this game in action, Grub.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll make it happen this week.
Speaker 1: I need you to deliver because apparently you've been playing
Speaker 1: a lot more road Craft.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, things finally kind of settled down for me
Speaker 2: a little bit. I also did get a new CPU
Speaker 2: for my computer, which helped because now games load and
Speaker 2: they weren't there for a second.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've built some PCs before. Jesus.
Speaker 4: That so scary.
Speaker 2: I had to go to Best Buy and get some
Speaker 2: thermal pace because I couldn't find nine.
Speaker 4: Like buying dynamite.
Speaker 5: That seems like, yeah, you have to call the cops
Speaker 5: first just to let them know license.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the house could explode, so its spire ready.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, put that CPU in. That was nice.
Speaker 5: I actually went up a generation because I'm like, if
Speaker 5: I'm gonna stick with this intel, I might as look
Speaker 5: at the newer one.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a little bit better. But I upgraded up
Speaker 2: the bios on my motherboard, so hopefully this one doesn't
Speaker 2: just fry itself over time. Either way.
Speaker 5: Played a lot more road Craft, and I actually ended
Speaker 5: up playing a lot on the steam deck as well.
Speaker 5: I kind of got the setting styled in there, so
Speaker 5: it's run in like forty five to sixty frames per second.
Speaker 2: It's nice. Whatever the I'm starting to like really learn
Speaker 2: how this game is different from mud Runners and snow
Speaker 2: Runners and kind of what it's trying to do. I'll
Speaker 2: say up front, I can't stop playing it. It's the
Speaker 2: process of here is a problem at this place. You
Speaker 2: need to get to that place to deal with the problem,
Speaker 2: and along the way you might discover some other problems,
Speaker 2: like hey, this road is it's a road, but it's
Speaker 2: kind of falling apart. Maybe you should just rebuild this
Speaker 2: one patch. And so I'm like, okay, great, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go get my light equipment moving truck I'm gonna throw
Speaker 2: the asphalt lane truck on the back of that. I'll
Speaker 2: drive it over there, because it's so slow it would
Speaker 2: take forever to drive it over there, so I'll just
Speaker 2: put it on the trunk, you know, I'll haul it.
Speaker 2: Drop that down. Go get the pavement smoother. Go get
Speaker 2: the big thing that like moves rocks out of the
Speaker 2: way but can also pave sand to make sure the
Speaker 2: sand is even. I'll go get all these tools, and
Speaker 2: I'll just find myself be like, this is just one
Speaker 2: patch on one road to accomplish something else, and I'm
Speaker 2: just in heaven, like figuring out all the little things
Speaker 2: I need to do in this process to make sure
Speaker 2: that now when I go to my home base and
Speaker 2: I need to get somewhere else, well, I can have
Speaker 2: a little bit of relief because I know that I've
Speaker 2: built up that road and it's going to work. Which
Speaker 2: is especially important because there's also like this automated side
Speaker 2: of things where you can set up these paths for
Speaker 2: resources to go in other trucks that you don't control,
Speaker 2: and if there is a road that is particularly muddy,
Speaker 2: they'll get stuck. And so the game is really focused
Speaker 2: on you just fixing stuff up as opposed to like
Speaker 2: the very specifics of managing a single truck, which is
Speaker 2: kind of what mud Runner and SnowRunner would do. So
Speaker 2: you would have a tank of gas and you would
Speaker 2: lose fuel over time, and so you had to be
Speaker 2: on top of that. So if a truck got too
Speaker 2: far away and it was going to run out of fuel,
Speaker 2: you're like, well, this sucks. I'm gonna have to bring
Speaker 2: out another truck filled with fuel to put more fuel
Speaker 2: in this truck so it can get to its end.
Speaker 2: There's none of that in this game. Every truck has
Speaker 2: unlimited a gasoline and instead there's like fuel tokens you
Speaker 2: can use to teleport them to another kind of truck
Speaker 2: to make it easier to accomplish what you're trying to do.
Speaker 2: These changes are I'm getting used to them, and I
Speaker 2: wasn't sure how I felt about them, but I'm at
Speaker 2: a point where I can't stop playing, so I'm like,
Speaker 2: I think this is a different flavor that I'm just
Speaker 2: as much a fan of, even if it's not exactly
Speaker 2: what I would have asked them for. When it looks
Speaker 2: I like them managing the fuel, that's kind of thing
Speaker 2: that is like, oh, I want to think about that.
Speaker 2: I want to find myself in situations where I made
Speaker 2: this worse for myself because I didn't plan ahead, and
Speaker 2: I want to deal with those consequences. There are other
Speaker 2: forms of that here, and mostly that has to do
Speaker 2: with like, oh, I drove that truck to the other
Speaker 2: side of a map, what can I do to get
Speaker 2: it over here? To actually do this? Do I buy
Speaker 2: a new truck? Do I go get it and take
Speaker 2: forever to get it over here? There's things like that.
Speaker 3: I have not played multiplayer yet.
Speaker 2: I'm very curious to see how that works, because like
Speaker 2: four people working on one project at a time, you
Speaker 2: could just see how like you could divide things up
Speaker 2: very quickly and everyone's like, no, you're just in charge
Speaker 2: of paving this road, don't worry about anything else. I'll
Speaker 2: bring you all the materials. I'll go get the sand
Speaker 2: or whatever, and uh yeah, I could see that being
Speaker 2: a lot of fun. So really into my shit with
Speaker 2: this game. Very happy with how it's landing, even if
Speaker 2: it is a little bit different than I think what
Speaker 2: people were expecting.
Speaker 5: As someone who still never played any of these which
Speaker 5: which one do you think I would dive into if
Speaker 5: I was going to.
Speaker 2: I think this one has like the most easy to
Speaker 2: understand goals, right because it is like you want to
Speaker 2: just rebuild a road. That's easier to understand than some
Speaker 2: of the like, oh, go get a terrain scanner and
Speaker 2: drop it off in this one location. Intrinsically, that's just
Speaker 2: not as interesting as what you're doing here. So this
Speaker 2: and also this one might be a little bit easier
Speaker 2: because you aren't dealing with with resources like fuel. It
Speaker 2: is like your truck just goes forever, which I think
Speaker 2: is what most people assumed happen when you get into
Speaker 2: a truck in a video game. It's just gonna go
Speaker 2: Who cares about gasoline? But yeah, that makes a difference
Speaker 2: with this one. I want to try multiplayer. We'll see
Speaker 2: how it goes.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, alright, gang, That about does it for game talk.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a quick bricky break and we will
Speaker 1: be back with the news right after this.
Speaker 3: This is Jeff with a.
Speaker 2: Jeff cross Hi first news item. Here a super chat
Speaker 2: from John Larson, who I believe is just another one
Speaker 2: of our members in a mask there. This is two
Speaker 2: B two magic. The gathering is alive and well. The
Speaker 2: format is called two head a giant, where the players
Speaker 2: on each team act as one of the heads. I
Speaker 2: would like to see a two headed giant match of
Speaker 2: Mike Manatti and Janichowa versus whoever kind of funny wants
Speaker 2: to produce. That'd be a big good time.
Speaker 3: It sounds like a threat. Mike, get on my shoulders.
Speaker 3: Ah cool?
Speaker 1: U is it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, well they were in a pool.
Speaker 3: No, I can do it all right. Here's the news.
Speaker 2: Nintendo switch to consoles have been spotted at US retailers
Speaker 2: ahead of launch. These pictures are everywhere. Uh, how's no
Speaker 2: one just taking one?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not saying someone should nintendent will shoot you.
Speaker 2: I guess that's why people aren't doing it.
Speaker 4: It could be done. I'm sure. I'm surprised they haven't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you think they'd like be bricked upon launch?
Speaker 1: Because it's before the date if you.
Speaker 6: Had a cartridge. I mean, you're not downloading games, but
Speaker 6: if you had a cartridge, it would work.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm scared to turn it on.
Speaker 3: Not gonna lie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rechie's got a fuse in there.
Speaker 4: Now field there's no Wi Fi.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, I was gonna say, or at least connected
Speaker 3: to the internet.
Speaker 2: Just get a a Faraday Fara day.
Speaker 3: Bar, Faraday Cage, fair Day Cage.
Speaker 2: Thank you? Yes, so going there, I switched to branded
Speaker 2: Faraday Cage.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Look, I guess all the matters here is these things
Speaker 2: are real. They're in stores, like in the back rooms
Speaker 2: right now. So seems like they are ready for launch,
Speaker 2: Like they're actually gonna have these things ready to go.
Speaker 3: Was that a question though?
Speaker 2: Like it feels real now, it feels real, And also
Speaker 2: like I think there might have been a question of
Speaker 2: like logistically are they going to be able to get
Speaker 2: out the million and a half that they want to
Speaker 2: have in week one?
Speaker 5: It seems like it's leaning in that direction, like they're
Speaker 5: actually going to be able to meet this demand early
Speaker 5: early on, which how.
Speaker 4: Many of us are going to have it with us
Speaker 4: in LA somehow?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll have When is it coming the fifth? Oh no,
Speaker 3: I fly out that day.
Speaker 5: So now I'm flying out late on the fifth to
Speaker 5: make sure I get mine first.
Speaker 3: Now I had to fly out early because Newark Airport
Speaker 3: is a hellscape, right.
Speaker 4: But grub you and I are earlier than that. How
Speaker 4: are you are you getting it sent to LA?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be a Nicky's house.
Speaker 4: Yeah, incredible.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I mean like my plan is kind of like, look,
Speaker 2: we're doing a lot of stuff, got GB at night,
Speaker 2: we have all this stuff. My plan is to kind
Speaker 2: of badger you guys to like make a bunch of
Speaker 2: switch to stuff whenever where we have free time. I'm like,
Speaker 2: we should just fine with that, play some Mario cart
Speaker 2: and do something like let's take some time here and
Speaker 2: like record something real fast.
Speaker 4: I'm play Soul Calver two against Mike.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I cannot wait, seriously, I'm so excited for that.
Speaker 1: I didn't place the pre order, but I and I
Speaker 1: know that we have an insane amount of things to
Speaker 1: do once we get on the ground in LA. But
Speaker 1: I kind of want to try and roll up to
Speaker 1: a store and get one.
Speaker 4: I think, Yeah, I like, then you do, like, well,
Speaker 4: could we do the midnight release thing like I used
Speaker 4: to do that for like every concept.
Speaker 5: I am going to a midnight release any best by
Speaker 5: anyways is my brother's picking his up there and I
Speaker 5: just like preordered case there, but like they are apparently
Speaker 5: gonna have some to sell and I might like just
Speaker 5: get one there if I can, and then you know
Speaker 5: there's somebody who will buy my Walmart one that's coming
Speaker 5: in the mail.
Speaker 6: Although I thinking about it, like I remember not midnight
Speaker 6: releases as much as like I remember PS two sleeping
Speaker 6: outside of the best Buy three sixty Best Buy and
Speaker 6: it's like it's an overnight thing and then it's like
Speaker 6: six seven in the morning or whenever they open that's
Speaker 6: when they did it. Like oh right, really, like, what
Speaker 6: is the option if you want to do it in
Speaker 6: person like that?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: Is it midnight?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: No, it's midnight. Yeah, but it's you know, there's fewer
Speaker 2: options than the heyday of midnight releases. But yes, they
Speaker 2: would be like you, some people maybe will sleep over there,
Speaker 2: but no, you're not gonna have do that. You're gonna
Speaker 2: a pre order and then there's gonna be a handful
Speaker 2: in the store. So yeah, people will line up and
Speaker 2: it'll open it midnight tho'll like you know, refreshments and
Speaker 2: stuff like that, and then you go into the Games
Speaker 2: Stop or Best Buy. Those are the two places doing it.
Speaker 2: Maybe Targets doing it as well. I can't remember.
Speaker 6: I had fun memories of that, I really do. It's
Speaker 6: just like it's a long wait, you're uncomfortable. I remember
Speaker 6: the PS two one was in the rain for me,
Speaker 6: but it was just like everyone's just so excited that
Speaker 6: everyone's talking about what games they're going to get. Like
Speaker 6: people were tossing footballs around and drinking beer and it's great.
Speaker 5: You know, and everybody will have their Switch ones to play.
Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, we should just do a tailgate. I like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'd be game for it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would like the Philly style style. Yeah. Switch
Speaker 5: to is is going to be fun to play because
Speaker 5: apparently a lot of the Switch two games are just
Speaker 5: going to work as you hope they would.
Speaker 2: There have been no issues reported so far, according to
Speaker 2: a lot of testing that Nintendo's done. Nintendo reports most
Speaker 2: Switch games have no issues on the upcoming switch to Well,
Speaker 2: some games have startup or in game compatibility problems, requiring fixes.
Speaker 2: The majority of the fifteen thousand third party games titles
Speaker 2: that have been tested show no issues at all. I think,
Speaker 2: you know, that's the baseline that's people are hoping for.
Speaker 2: But this is going to be mostly emulation. I think
Speaker 2: they said something about a hybrid solution, but it's emulation, really,
Speaker 2: and that always introduces the possibility for some things just
Speaker 2: not to work.
Speaker 3: That you're not expecting.
Speaker 5: Sounds like that's going to be a minimal problem here
Speaker 5: this time around, which you know that it's important I
Speaker 5: want all my Switch games to work. But I was
Speaker 5: at there was a time there where I was definitely
Speaker 5: hoping Switch one games would actually just all run better
Speaker 5: out of the box, and that could still happen, but
Speaker 5: I'm less hopeful for that now.
Speaker 1: I feel like the only time I've ever really noticed
Speaker 1: that because like, you know, like there's the what PS
Speaker 1: four game boosts, the you know you've seen toggles like that.
Speaker 1: I've never really noticed it except for with the uh
Speaker 1: Xbox backwards compatibilities stuff like playing like Max Pain Mercenaries,
Speaker 1: you know, things where it's like the load times were
Speaker 1: totally removed. Yeah, yeah, and it just runs great. Sixty
Speaker 1: Preme second Red Dead I think ran really well that way.
Speaker 5: That was like they would do like extra work on
Speaker 5: some things, like you know, Mirror's Edge ran out a
Speaker 5: better frame rate than it ever did our original Xbox.
Speaker 2: Or six right right, I did that oem or the
Speaker 2: ode the optical distrive emulator thing on the GameCube, and
Speaker 2: so it's loading games from an SD card. Now, would
Speaker 2: that load games faster? Because it's some games that I
Speaker 2: thought had like longer loading times are like loading almost instantly,
Speaker 2: and it's freaking me out.
Speaker 5: You would imagine, I guess, I guess. So yeah, I'm like,
Speaker 5: I wonder if that was CPU bottlenecked or whatever. But
Speaker 5: I'm gonna do some tests. I'll see what I can
Speaker 5: find out.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: Some other Nintendo news. Nintendo appears to have blocked the
Speaker 2: recording of videos on its Nintendo Today app. This is
Speaker 2: a this is very strange. Nintendo seemingly blocked vide recording. Basically,
Speaker 2: it has implemented DRM uh so that when you try
Speaker 2: to record a video natively using you know, whatever app
Speaker 2: it is on the iOS or just the built in
Speaker 2: functionality on Android, it just gives you back a black
Speaker 2: screen I think, and nothing gets recorded, which some apps
Speaker 2: can do. Right, that's a security functionality. Nintendo's news announcements
Speaker 2: probably don't have those same security concerns. Like Nintendo just
Speaker 2: being weird.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like if Netflix does it, sure I get it,
Speaker 4: but right.
Speaker 5: That app, I mean, I think Nintendo believes that they
Speaker 5: can get more people to use it if they don't
Speaker 5: let the news escape through other channels.
Speaker 3: I don't know, gross.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's really bizarre. But do any of you
Speaker 2: have the Nintendo Today apps installed on your devices?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 5: Everyone installed, but I don't use it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think I've installed, but I've not checked it in
Speaker 2: a few weeks.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: The next Nintendo Direct will reportedly drop around switch twos
Speaker 2: along A Nintendo Direct live stream is rumored to be
Speaker 2: held around the launch of Nintendo Switch To on June fifth,
Speaker 2: according to journalists Pedro Henrique Luti Lippe. Historically, Nintendo has
Speaker 2: held directs in June, often focusing on upcoming games, so
Speaker 2: people are getting their hopes up for it.
Speaker 5: Anyhow, We've talked about the possibility of a direct a
Speaker 5: couple of times, but now as we are on the
Speaker 5: precipice of the launch, do you.
Speaker 2: Guys think it's likely?
Speaker 3: It would be? Weird?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 2: What do you think about a direct the week of
Speaker 2: the switch to launch.
Speaker 5: There's some games that they definitely need to show more of, uh,
Speaker 5: you know, show a bit more Donkey Kong, show more
Speaker 5: Kirby Air Ride, Pokemon Za. We don't we don't have
Speaker 5: a release date for Metro Prime four, so maybe what's that.
Speaker 4: Maybeuff like one other game?
Speaker 5: Yeah, or you know, hope maybe we do actually get
Speaker 5: just Metro Prime two and three remaster, maybe even NSO
Speaker 5: stuff like Donkey Kong sixty four. I think we all
Speaker 5: expect that to happen around the time of Bonanza. You know,
Speaker 5: people are like, oh, maybe there's like one more game
Speaker 5: for this year. We could see what that looks like.
Speaker 5: And you know, there's the other High Rule Warriors, right,
Speaker 5: There's plenty of things to talk about here. Honestly, for me,
Speaker 5: the big thing is we got to get that Metroid
Speaker 5: Prime for release date. Please.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 5: I don't know if it'll happen like, you know, the
Speaker 5: week of June fifth, but I expect something to happen
Speaker 5: in June with.
Speaker 3: The director, not that same weekend of SGF because there's
Speaker 3: a lot of things going down.
Speaker 2: Yep. Yeah, I guess it'd be like the week after SGF,
Speaker 2: but we're all still going to be traveling, there's still
Speaker 2: gonna be a ton of stuff. It would be in
Speaker 2: the wake of a lot of other work, so that'd
Speaker 2: be annoying. But yeah, I think sometime in June they
Speaker 2: probably do something.
Speaker 5: I'm fire on them. Remake that we've been thinking is
Speaker 5: real forever. It's basically been done forever. At some point
Speaker 5: they're gonna have to announce that.
Speaker 2: Yep, exactly. They have lots of things they could still
Speaker 2: talk about like always, so we'll see. I think that. Man,
Speaker 2: people do keep going back to getting Mario this holiday.
Speaker 3: No, I don't know where that's people, what does that mean.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of people out like like cover Video
Speaker 2: Game News that when they talk about this, they go
Speaker 2: to thinking, well, there's also a Mario game coming in
Speaker 2: addition to this Donkey Kong Bananza, and it could come
Speaker 2: as soon as this holiday.
Speaker 3: Now, well, I trust only like you know, four people's opinion,
Speaker 3: and three of them are you grubs, So like I.
Speaker 2: Think that'd be crazy.
Speaker 3: I think that'd be I think that's next holiday, Yes,
Speaker 3: that if that even right?
Speaker 2: Like initially when we saw Donkey kongk Binanz, I'm like,
Speaker 2: that's what they've been working on. That's the Mario team,
Speaker 2: nothing else. And now like there maybe there's some thinking
Speaker 2: that some of the support studios could have helped a
Speaker 2: lot on either this game or on the Mario three
Speaker 2: D game, because the sports studios did help a lot,
Speaker 2: help out a lot with Odyssey and then with Bowser's Fury.
Speaker 3: So yeah, maybe next holiday, but.
Speaker 2: I don't think this holiday. That would be nuts. Especially
Speaker 2: like if you have a Mario game and you're announcing
Speaker 2: a system and it's coming out within the six months
Speaker 2: of that system's release, you just say that because Mario
Speaker 2: is that big, and they.
Speaker 5: Didn't, so everybody just I don't know. Everybody's like there
Speaker 5: has to be a big holiday game for the Switch too,
Speaker 5: and like they in their minds pogymore legends Za doesn't count.
Speaker 4: But it counts, Metroid would count.
Speaker 2: Well, both of those things are coming, so regardless of
Speaker 2: what you think counts, you're gonna get one of those.
Speaker 2: So I think they have another game. I don't know
Speaker 2: if it's a big game for this holiday. We'll see.
Speaker 2: All right, let's shift over to some PlayStation news. This
Speaker 2: is an interesting While everyone else is raising prices, Sony
Speaker 2: confirms it's going to actually discount the PS five this week. Yes,
Speaker 2: let's see here. This is for accessories in software, and
Speaker 2: it is starting this week. Sony is offering discounts on
Speaker 2: PlayStation five hardware and software, including fifty dollars off the
Speaker 2: PS five pro in the United States, from May twenty
Speaker 2: eighth to June eleventh, during its days of play campaign.
Speaker 2: A Call of Duty Black Ops six bundle will also
Speaker 2: be available, offering savings compared to buying the console and
Speaker 2: game separately. Discounts will extend to other PS five models,
Speaker 2: VR two controllers, earbuds in first party games.
Speaker 3: Man and even Know they still sold the PSVR two.
Speaker 2: While price has recently increased in Europe, Australia and New Zealand,
Speaker 2: the US has avoided similar increases, although the slim Digital
Speaker 2: Edition launched at a higher price. What do you think
Speaker 2: is happening here? I mean, obviously they always discounted from
Speaker 2: days of play, so it's part of that. But I'm
Speaker 2: definitely operating under the assumption that they are still going
Speaker 2: to raise the price of the PS five in the
Speaker 2: United States, because they have not done that since they
Speaker 2: did it everywhere else, and since then, Microsoft has raised
Speaker 2: the price. The switch to got announced with a high
Speaker 2: enough price that you could justify a price increase for
Speaker 2: the PS five. Is this like one last party before
Speaker 2: that happens or what.
Speaker 5: It's maybe unrelated, but I don't know, Jeff, Maybe I'm crazy.
Speaker 5: I still just don't think they're gonna they're gonna raise
Speaker 5: the price. I think they're gonna cost you the bite
Speaker 5: the bullet. You know, they've been afraid to do it
Speaker 5: here because they know Americans get so upset.
Speaker 3: I mean, and I know Xbox raised the price.
Speaker 5: I bet if we could look at the sales data,
Speaker 5: that is going not great for them, right.
Speaker 2: Right, Yes, absolutely, and that maybe they don't care about
Speaker 2: selling consoles as much amore, but so definitely does so
Speaker 2: they don't want to throw any wrench into that works. Yeah, well,
Speaker 2: I bet I bet they're keeping price increases on the
Speaker 2: table if they're not immediately planning them. And then so
Speaker 2: I guess other than that, it's business as usual, And
Speaker 2: that would mean a discounted PS five through the days
Speaker 2: of play? Who here has the PS five pro? And Dan,
Speaker 2: I know you have one? Did anyone else got?
Speaker 3: I don't, And it's weird to me that I don't,
Speaker 3: because I always just get these things. But I I mean,
Speaker 3: like you've you've gotten the sentiment anecdotally, even that like
Speaker 3: it's maybe not the thing you think it is.
Speaker 2: We're not rushing out to get it. Like that's that's
Speaker 2: the difference there. Yeah, I get that. It's I mean,
Speaker 2: it's a lot of money, right.
Speaker 5: It's funny because like what differences one hundred dollars at
Speaker 5: a certain point, But it's like it's actually a big difference,
Speaker 5: especially in my head of just like if the they
Speaker 5: had come out at the price that the PlayStation five
Speaker 5: was at launch, I could almost swallow that pill. But
Speaker 5: it's more expensive than the PS five ever was. It's
Speaker 5: like no, and like how many years I really think
Speaker 5: this thing has? Maybe more than I'd like to admit.
Speaker 5: Even that just kind of makes me more depressed when
Speaker 5: I think.
Speaker 3: It's just different than the PS four Pro. It's just
Speaker 3: like a totally different insertion point in the life cycle.
Speaker 2: And the necessity is completely different.
Speaker 3: They had like the day one tangibility of like a
Speaker 3: perceived improvement and just you watch more k TV take
Speaker 3: advantage of that with it was just like a one
Speaker 3: to one like easy sell, and the cost wasn't pornographic
Speaker 3: the way it is now.
Speaker 5: They were releasing more PS four games. They just were right.
Speaker 3: So it's like the future was sort of like, you know,
Speaker 3: bright brighter. Maybe.
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, we're all like, when is it's only gonna even
Speaker 5: talk to us at all about its games? We just
Speaker 5: don't know very much about them right now, and.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that here in a second, six hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty dollars for PS five Pro. I think had
Speaker 2: that discount happened quickly, like after the PS five Pro
Speaker 2: got announced or came out, that might have moved me.
Speaker 2: But now at this point of getting used to not
Speaker 2: having it, I'm like, nah, it's.
Speaker 3: They should have They should have bundled it with like
Speaker 3: a year of premium or something like. They should have
Speaker 3: like made it more you know, attractive of a purchase.
Speaker 3: It just looks like this huge number should have made
Speaker 3: it look cool. It just looks bored.
Speaker 5: Wait a second, that's one thing we'll discribe. I do
Speaker 5: like I like the aesthetics of the whole Placetation five family.
Speaker 5: I like it's really Eve aesthetic.
Speaker 1: I think it's I'm fine with like the base PS
Speaker 1: five looking like Seto Kaiba from Yu gi Oh, but
Speaker 1: like the Pro, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Look cooler. Sure, gimboard swagged out or something. Yeah, it
Speaker 3: makes something.
Speaker 4: That's possible to like put in a bag and travel
Speaker 4: with or something.
Speaker 3: Way. Well, that's that's that's not that. I mean, you're
Speaker 3: just gonna come on. Look like two and then there's
Speaker 3: one portable console and that was the game Cube.
Speaker 1: UH.
Speaker 2: Sony's next PlayStation State of Play will reportedly be coming
Speaker 2: in June. Sony is likely holding a State of Play
Speaker 2: presentation in June because instead of a larger show case,
Speaker 2: this comes from high me. Yeah, let's say, yeah, I
Speaker 2: talked about this on in a couple of places we've
Speaker 2: did on Games Mornings, I think, And so for people
Speaker 2: that are always wondering about the distinction there state of
Speaker 2: play versus a showcase, PlayStation has done stuff called showcases
Speaker 2: in the past, and these are like their Big E
Speaker 2: three equivalent like productions where they have tons of massive
Speaker 2: first party announcements and things like that, or that's the
Speaker 2: idea at least that's the kind of place where they
Speaker 2: could show off a PS five when it was getting
Speaker 2: announced in a PlayStation showcase. State of plays are more
Speaker 2: like directs. But and then sometimes they could be even
Speaker 2: less than that, or like sometimes they could just be
Speaker 2: like a partner direct and a Nintendo partner direct. So
Speaker 2: the thinking here is like, hey, they're going to do
Speaker 2: a State of Play, is this not going to be exciting?
Speaker 2: I still think there's plenty chants that we see very
Speaker 2: cool announcements from Sony itself inside of a state of play.
Speaker 2: But I don't know what a ur Al's expectations level,
Speaker 2: expectation level for big announcements from Sony at this point.
Speaker 2: If they come out with the state of play in June.
Speaker 5: They gotta just talk to us about some things, right,
Speaker 5: you know, we obvious we're gonna see more ghosts of
Speaker 5: Yote or your tie excuse me, uh, Wolverine we have
Speaker 5: not heard much about since basically the leaks. Right, what's
Speaker 5: going on over over there? Interg I don't know if
Speaker 5: we're gonna see too much more of.
Speaker 1: Intergalactic for a while, Right, we have to see more
Speaker 1: of Marathon, right that I would assume that it gets delayed.
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's it gets delayed. Uh yeah, Marathon, Fair Games.
Speaker 5: Who knows what's going on with those two games right now?
Speaker 5: Maybe nothing good. But that's the thing is, like we're
Speaker 5: kind of you know, sentiment is kind of like negative.
Speaker 5: Uh so maybe show us some stuff that looks cool
Speaker 5: and interesting. Maybe, you know, do talk about some new
Speaker 5: things that maybe they are a bit off, but it's exciting.
Speaker 5: You're bringing back some franchises that we care about. You know,
Speaker 5: there's many they'll do that.
Speaker 3: Hell is us game again? I feel like, hell, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's like they're favorite, like.
Speaker 5: They have a pet, a pet partner game. Yeah, because
Speaker 5: it presents all the time. Yes, it presents really well.
Speaker 5: Like every time they show that game off, everyone's like,
Speaker 5: what the fuck is this? Well maybe it's just me,
Speaker 5: but you definitely do that though ipop hard for it.
Speaker 3: I don't like that phrase, but you know, uh yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, like I think like it'll you know, I
Speaker 3: mean that that gmes like September right like stuff this
Speaker 3: year September?
Speaker 1: When is that?
Speaker 2: When is Sorrows Out?
Speaker 4: I don't know, but we haven't seen gameplay of that,
Speaker 4: have we?
Speaker 2: Like that's one.
Speaker 3: I'm very righty.
Speaker 1: I just fucking love Returnal and I would love to
Speaker 1: see what the hell Sorros is all about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it ways out initial release date this looks
Speaker 2: like a placeholder, so yea, it must be twenty twenty
Speaker 2: six because it's just December thirty first, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: Do you think is the possibility of seeing anything Last
Speaker 1: of Us related?
Speaker 3: Oh god, I'm going to remake too again or whatever? Yeah,
Speaker 3: but like nothing, I mean, come on, Intergalactic is the hey?
Speaker 2: Has everything Last of Us been like fully remade? At
Speaker 2: this point and re released the package because I think there's.
Speaker 5: Nothing else they could possibly justify Rebastery get good at
Speaker 5: this point.
Speaker 2: I think there's a chance that the the other project
Speaker 2: that Druckman referenced like a couple of weeks ago, maybe
Speaker 2: that pops up, and I think that's an uncharted game.
Speaker 2: Uh but maybe not.
Speaker 5: Maybe'd be excited.
Speaker 6: I just checked my embargo information and I can say
Speaker 6: that I played hell as Us and we'll be able
Speaker 6: to talk about it this week.
Speaker 4: So okay, great, yes, very soon. And I got an
Speaker 4: article going but at the old place.
Speaker 2: All right, cool, let's see here next news story and
Speaker 2: get back over to my headlines. Star Wars Battlefront two
Speaker 2: devs want to get the band back together, is how
Speaker 2: they phrased it. They want to get the wolf packed.
Speaker 2: That's who made Star Wars battle Front one two.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Wow, Perry Saturn was lead developer.
Speaker 4: Saturn wasn't in the WOLA.
Speaker 3: I didn't watch WCW those the radicals. Uh.
Speaker 2: Either way, Battlefront two's popularity is the highest it's ever
Speaker 2: been on Steam. It has the most concurrent players it's
Speaker 2: ever had on Steam.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: It launched on Steam long after it came out on
Speaker 2: the EA Store whatever that's called Origin, and so it
Speaker 2: never had the highest concurrent player numbers on there.
Speaker 3: It was like nine thousand or something.
Speaker 2: It's surpassed that now and people are crediting that to
Speaker 2: and Or and maybe that Revenge of the Sith inding
Speaker 2: in theaters recently. Whatever the reason is, people are getting
Speaker 2: excited about the possibility of EA and Dice going back
Speaker 2: to Battlefront with a Battlefront three. EA's never said anything
Speaker 2: about this, but this one developer did say that they
Speaker 2: the team that worked on it, talks about it, and
Speaker 2: they there's a sense that they want to get the
Speaker 2: band back together. They would like to do this. I
Speaker 2: don't know how likely that likely that is. They got
Speaker 2: to get Battlefield correct first, right, this next Battlefield game
Speaker 2: seems super important, and then maybe one day they could
Speaker 2: talk about a Battlefront again.
Speaker 3: We're talking about the twenty seventeen joint, right.
Speaker 2: Twenty seventeen Battlefront two. Yes, that's right.
Speaker 3: Oh that's weird.
Speaker 4: No, it was all the really good game play, but
Speaker 4: the really bad Loue box.
Speaker 5: Yes, bash game actually has kind of a lot going
Speaker 5: for it. It was very heavy, so that was a problem,
Speaker 5: and the course that had terrible, terrible loot boxes, which
Speaker 5: and as bad as they were, it got amplified times
Speaker 5: ten on the internet, right, like the whole thing. But man,
Speaker 5: when that game is going, that game was fun, That
Speaker 5: game looked really really good.
Speaker 2: There still looks as good as the game needs to look.
Speaker 3: It looks as good as a game needs to look.
Speaker 5: That planet on the Camino, that water level, it's still
Speaker 5: just kind of amazing with the rain falling and the
Speaker 5: outside sections. It's like, I would love they made another one,
Speaker 5: and you kind of just take the good and leave
Speaker 5: behind the bad and just really have fun with it.
Speaker 5: But you're probably right, Jeff, that they are worrying more
Speaker 5: about Battlefield right now, even though frankly I'd be more
Speaker 5: excited for Battlefront three.
Speaker 2: I would too. I did like this is for game
Speaker 2: last morning tomorrow, but like I looked at the pool
Speaker 2: I ran, and from earlier this or from last week,
Speaker 2: it'd say, hey, do you want another battle Front game?
Speaker 2: And like half of the people are like no. So
Speaker 2: for as much as excitement as the excitement is building
Speaker 2: around this game and Star Wars fans are convincing themselves
Speaker 2: that like there is a popular wave of support for it,
Speaker 2: and there is, I don't think it's to the point where,
Speaker 2: oh uh, this is penetrating the mainstream so that EA
Speaker 2: can justify it. It's to itself spending years and years
Speaker 2: making a new one of these. First of all, by
Speaker 2: the time they do that, a million things could go
Speaker 2: wrong with Star Wars again, it wouldn't be worth it.
Speaker 2: And then and then second, you know, the hardcore Star
Speaker 2: Wars fans saying they want something does not translate to
Speaker 2: the mass audience saying that they want something anymore.
Speaker 5: I mean, unfortunately, the time to do it kind of
Speaker 5: was when they did Battlefront two, when right after that
Speaker 5: Force Awakens was the biggest movie ever kind of thing, right,
Speaker 5: and you know, Star Wars hasn't really been as good
Speaker 5: shape as that for a long time, so kind of
Speaker 5: good luck doing it now.
Speaker 2: Yep, they you know, this is EA. They they're doing
Speaker 2: skate foard because of a you know, social media thing.
Speaker 2: But I don't think I don't think that's like gonna
Speaker 2: be a trend for them. I don't think they're gonna
Speaker 2: glomme onto every single one of these. All right, A
Speaker 2: couple more stories here.
Speaker 5: Ex Machino director director Alex Garland is going to helm
Speaker 5: the Elderering movie for a twenty four It's gonna be
Speaker 5: live action, it's gonna have it's gonna have writers.
Speaker 2: People are gonna write this movie. They're gonna work with
Speaker 2: George R. R. Martin.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Railroad Martin's getting on this.
Speaker 2: George Railroad Martin is going to be on the poster.
Speaker 2: I guarantee that his name will be very big on there.
Speaker 2: How it involved, he is like, look, he already wrote
Speaker 2: wrote a bunch of lore. Maybe they can email him
Speaker 2: and ask him some questions. I don't know, but I
Speaker 2: think this is a pretty good fit. I brought up
Speaker 2: on Games Mornings when I reported the story originally that
Speaker 2: The Green Knight is like a very good model for
Speaker 2: what I think an eldering movie should look like. And
Speaker 2: if they could just kind of do that again with this,
Speaker 2: I'd be happy.
Speaker 5: The Green Knight has like one freak, The Green Knight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Mary Kogan is in that movie. He's the
Speaker 1: other freaking like fifty freaks. What is Green Naights gimmick person? Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: what's the seth rogen thing?
Speaker 3: Green Hornet? Yes?
Speaker 8: Green?
Speaker 3: You think I was talking about green Hornet guy that.
Speaker 4: Helms come up with different names.
Speaker 2: For stuff, or just have this conversation in your head
Speaker 2: and don't bring it to the podcast. Green Knight is
Speaker 2: a different name than those other things you said. That's
Speaker 2: the Q cute thing here. It is different, right, you
Speaker 2: see the confusion, No, the green, I only see green.
Speaker 4: Wow man calls everything around Anyways.
Speaker 5: I don't want me to be a funny duddy Jeff,
Speaker 5: but I don't see this working.
Speaker 3: You would need in my mind, have you played on
Speaker 3: a ring? Have you seen what's happening in that game?
Speaker 3: Everybody looks how that world looks. I think you need
Speaker 3: avatar money to make that. I don't, but I don't.
Speaker 3: I think that was right twenty years ago. I don't
Speaker 3: thinkin it's make it look good.
Speaker 5: I think that's right.
Speaker 3: I think deserved as like a series versus a movie.
Speaker 5: Sure, yeah, you know yeah probably number two. Uh, Like
Speaker 5: story and odoring, it's mostly lore. It's mostly.
Speaker 2: You know, movie based on vibes.
Speaker 3: That's fine.
Speaker 5: Like Drive, We're gonna get a drive.
Speaker 3: Your vibe didn't like I was good?
Speaker 5: I hate Drive actually kind of with a bit of
Speaker 5: a passion.
Speaker 3: Do you huh?
Speaker 2: What don't you like about stupid.
Speaker 5: Cynical movie where they play something with like a low base,
Speaker 5: and everybody's like it's vibes now because there's a neon
Speaker 5: light and bass, and then they're like curbs on somebody's
Speaker 5: head and it's gross. Everyone's like, this movie is brutal
Speaker 5: in a way that makes me feel.
Speaker 2: Live's not an adult murder in there.
Speaker 8: Then it's weird that because all the stuff I watch
Speaker 8: is so uplifting, I don't really fun.
Speaker 3: I guess I understand a little bit of what you're saying,
Speaker 3: but you're being a fuddy.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: I can't.
Speaker 6: Speaking of fuddy duddy, here's my turn. I can't think
Speaker 6: of a single video game franchise I would care about
Speaker 6: as a TV show or a movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would that. It would twisted Metal. I don't care.
Speaker 6: They they're just I would see a metal your movie,
Speaker 6: bio show. I saw the Mario movie. I thought it
Speaker 6: was well, would be a good movie. I would just
Speaker 6: wouldn't wouldn't care.
Speaker 3: I mean.
Speaker 5: The next Bioshack and that we've been talking about how
Speaker 5: it's gonna be a movie, yeah for twenty years.
Speaker 3: But that's clear.
Speaker 2: I think that's the most likely scenarios. This movie never
Speaker 2: gets made. Of course, yes, but I think it's like
Speaker 2: a realistic way of doing it. I think it is
Speaker 2: the Green Night route, where it's like, you know, you
Speaker 2: focus on a few freaks and you go make it happen,
Speaker 2: but it's probably not going to all right, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 2: go ahead please.
Speaker 3: I was just I mean, like they they did do
Speaker 3: a really good job with Last of Us like that,
Speaker 3: I thought everyone hates it hateople online.
Speaker 2: Well, people seem less enthusive enthusied about the second season,
Speaker 2: but I don't think that means it's a terrible show
Speaker 2: or anything like that. And the first season is well,
Speaker 2: very high regard a.
Speaker 3: Lot of actual people in Last of Us and then
Speaker 3: like fungal people whatever. It's easier, I think to make
Speaker 3: the blanket statement that there isn't any video game worth adapting,
Speaker 3: is I'm saying that I would be interested you well you,
Speaker 3: but that doesn't really like I amn't.
Speaker 5: I'm trying to think if there's anything that I would like,
Speaker 5: actually be super excited for where I.
Speaker 3: Have I would like. I think I would watch like
Speaker 3: an Alan Wake series, watch.
Speaker 5: Care about like that Coachama heavily involved death stranding movie.
Speaker 6: I'll see it out of curiosity. Same as if there
Speaker 6: was a Metal your movie they've talked about for twenty
Speaker 6: years or whatever, Like I'd see it, but like, I
Speaker 6: don't know, death Stranding is a pretty cinematic game. Well
Speaker 6: you're solid extreme, but like the stuff I love is
Speaker 6: the way it interacts with the game, you know, medium,
Speaker 6: and I don't necessarily oiled down two hour version of
Speaker 6: the story that was delivered quite well in video games.
Speaker 3: I'm with you for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Like there's a been there's been a wave
Speaker 2: of obviously video game movies and shows announced recently, and
Speaker 2: I am at a point where it's like, oh, even
Speaker 2: if that comes out, I'm not watching them.
Speaker 6: You know, first and foremost me, I mean, Zelda is
Speaker 6: one of my favorite franchises of all time. I could
Speaker 6: not give less of a shit about what I would happen.
Speaker 6: And I think that i'd have to.
Speaker 4: I think, like to go in like super excited, you know,
Speaker 4: like I'll see it.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I think that's gonna have a similar problem as
Speaker 5: another I think when we see what that looks like,
Speaker 5: a lot of people are gonna be kind of weirded out,
Speaker 5: Like that's what it looks like when we have budgets
Speaker 5: and green screens and kind of you know, special effects
Speaker 5: instead of just everything's a video game in uniform.
Speaker 3: I'd like to be pleasantly surprised.
Speaker 2: Sure, I think you get the gim Hence company to
Speaker 2: work on the Elder Ring movie, and you are halfway
Speaker 2: toward people. Yeah, the Rascal people.
Speaker 6: I've never heard my dad mentioned Jim Henson ever, and
Speaker 6: just today he texted me about Jim Henson.
Speaker 4: He did a joke. You're ready, Mike, I'm gonna be
Speaker 4: my dad.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, this is probably gonna be really insensitive going.
Speaker 4: No, h did you know that Jim Hanson was a micromanager?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, he had a hand in everything.
Speaker 3: That's funny because they're puppets.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: Did your dad like read the back of a Snapple
Speaker 3: cap like Joe? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 2: All right, last story here. This one got appended by
Speaker 2: I believe Mike Minati. Dragon Quests one and two h
Speaker 2: D two D remake arrives on October thirtieth, in just
Speaker 2: in time for Halloween, and it's coming to switch To,
Speaker 2: also releasing on Switch one Xbox PlayStation in PC. Switch
Speaker 2: To version is a game key card version, although Switch
Speaker 2: one version appears to have the whole game on the card.
Speaker 2: That's weird, all right, Hey cool, that's fun. We've been
Speaker 2: waiting for this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I haven't. You know, we got the three remake
Speaker 5: about that time last year and we were kind of
Speaker 5: wondering when this one would drop. I liked it a lot.
Speaker 5: I thought it was very pretty, perhaps my favorite of
Speaker 5: the HD two D remakes. If not that, then the
Speaker 5: Live Alive was very good. Yeah as well. And I
Speaker 5: liked Straanon Quest three a lot, but I actually had
Speaker 5: played that one before. I'm not played one and two,
Speaker 5: so this will be my first time getting to experience those.
Speaker 5: And also, like if the order seems weird here, uh, chronologically,
Speaker 5: the story does go three, one, and two, so you
Speaker 5: are playing them in order. Actually if you started with three.
Speaker 2: Oh interesting.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I think it's neat. The game card stuff
Speaker 5: has become a bit of a talking point because even
Speaker 5: though it is that game key card for Switch Too,
Speaker 5: so the game's not actually on there, it looks like
Speaker 5: the game is actually just on the Switch one game card.
Speaker 5: So you know, something funky has been going on there
Speaker 5: at the way Nintendo has been selling these cards to people.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh, okay, well that's just wait, oh please, another
Speaker 2: headline breaking from jerf.
Speaker 3: No, it's not a headline, it's just a I want
Speaker 3: to put a footnote on the previous movie adaptation.
Speaker 5: I mean I thought it had something to say about
Speaker 5: Dragon Quest.
Speaker 3: No, I don't. I think I said this somewhere. I'm
Speaker 3: sure I did at one point, and I think Dan
Speaker 3: you were really on board. I can't remember. But so
Speaker 3: maybe think about the reverse right where there's not like
Speaker 3: a franchise that you want to see made into a movie,
Speaker 3: but is there a movie that you would want to
Speaker 3: be made into a video? Rock? And I well, here, okay,
Speaker 3: what if you could play every scene of The Rock
Speaker 3: in a video game?
Speaker 1: Well, the already of the shower room and the gulag
Speaker 1: and modern Work or two and basically the underwater infiltrations
Speaker 1: Solid one.
Speaker 3: The video game is called The Rock and you play
Speaker 3: as Funny who could do that voice? Yeah?
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 4: Okay, I do want to play John Stanley Goodspeed.
Speaker 3: Yes, you play both? Of course you do? You play
Speaker 3: us both of them?
Speaker 4: You do like a diffuse the Rocket mini game or something.
Speaker 3: Exactly, and like, would you not play every second of
Speaker 3: the Rock the video game?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, So I want die.
Speaker 4: Hard, I want I heard trology is good.
Speaker 3: No, I want to play I want to play it
Speaker 3: in the way that like the Indiana Jones game was like,
Speaker 3: that's what I want games.
Speaker 4: Diehard also, Diehard Arcade was very good.
Speaker 3: But I am aware that the has been used before
Speaker 3: in video games.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about Ayranding.
Speaker 3: You understand what I'm putting out there, right, you understand
Speaker 3: what this could be. Right, every scene of the movie
Speaker 3: you play, aside from like.
Speaker 4: All the bullshit, right, you don't care The Rock doesn't
Speaker 4: have that. It's just it's no fat on that.
Speaker 3: There's no thing. There's a little bit of fat.
Speaker 4: There's the Beatles, super Freak and the sex on the roof?
Speaker 3: Do you want to play with conn Air? Alright? Talking
Speaker 3: about Yeah, all of a sudden, I conflated the Rock.
Speaker 4: Rock is much better than Connair. Connor is empirically no
Speaker 4: argument here.
Speaker 3: I don't know why all of a sudden, you know,
Speaker 3: because that was the that was the plane scene, and
Speaker 3: for whatever reason, I conflated.
Speaker 2: You don't have one plane in your head at a time, Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 2: there's only.
Speaker 6: One would be oh man, Harris is beakingna Yeah, just
Speaker 6: they already got the Harrison formodel.
Speaker 2: It would be an excellent video.
Speaker 4: The video off my Plane would be awesome.
Speaker 3: So why are we like we're going only one way?
Speaker 2: Why are we not going the other way? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Video games, But I love movies too.
Speaker 2: Look, I want the real reason this is happy is
Speaker 2: because movies are desperate for anything that's like succeeded somewhere else,
Speaker 2: of course, so they just grab it, and video games
Speaker 2: are like, that doesn't.
Speaker 3: Work for us.
Speaker 5: Like video games can basically do all the things that
Speaker 5: movies can do. Movies can't do the things video games
Speaker 5: can do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the movie based on Roadcraft would suck.
Speaker 3: That'd be bad.
Speaker 6: Sure, you say one video game that you'd watch it?
Speaker 6: Video game based on Rehearsal Season two? Oh my god,
Speaker 6: have you finished the jam?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: I I took I took the test that's in the
Speaker 5: because I wanted to take the test. I couldn't find it.
Speaker 4: For the same name as the eyes take the test
Speaker 4: right now.
Speaker 3: No, we don't have enough time. It takes a while.
Speaker 3: They did.
Speaker 4: There's like thirty six I took it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2: It's supposed to take you like two to three minutes, right,
Speaker 2: because they.
Speaker 6: Said if you're not autistic, it should take three to
Speaker 6: five minutes. If you're autistic, it takes longer.
Speaker 3: Is what what?
Speaker 1: What is this?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 6: It's like the mind the Eyes test or something like that.
Speaker 6: I'm not going to spoil the family because it's fucking
Speaker 6: nuts what happens. But yeah, well, holy none of you
Speaker 6: have seen it.
Speaker 3: You spoil it?
Speaker 2: Like my understanding is no, Yes, you can spoil it easily.
Speaker 3: I could tell you.
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna type it to you in discord.
Speaker 2: Yeah, please because yeah, yeah, don't make snap killed Tumbledore shut.
Speaker 3: That's a good reference. Thanks, all right, gang grab. Is
Speaker 3: that it with the news.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm done with the news. I handed the show
Speaker 2: back over to you.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll Jeff back on our hijack for a second
Speaker 1: and we're gonna.
Speaker 3: Try to make a point.
Speaker 5: And I came in and shut it down.
Speaker 3: Sorry, We're gonna go take a quick bricky break and
Speaker 3: we will be back. Reacts before we go. Don't you
Speaker 3: read any of that out loud?
Speaker 2: Oh my god? What he shot it?
Speaker 3: Talk too? I gotta watch this o God, all right,
Speaker 3: fade in the black.
Speaker 1: These are the emails or the show emails. Bombcasta giant
Speaker 1: bomb dot com is the email addresses in your emails too.
Speaker 1: You can write in about any and everything and I
Speaker 1: will look at it and decide whether or not it's
Speaker 1: worth it to show on the show. And sometimes hey,
Speaker 1: a little too weird. Other times, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for the support.
Speaker 3: We love you. First email of the show comes from
Speaker 3: Jeff from London.
Speaker 2: Yo.
Speaker 1: This one's for grub, but I fuck with you all.
Speaker 1: Roadwork Scrub was talking about cool vehicles and how fun
Speaker 1: they are to work with. I drive boats, I mean
Speaker 1: navigational officer, and I've worked on container ships and car
Speaker 1: carriers and platform supply vessels. Uh. For the last few years,
Speaker 1: I've worked on tugboats. Tugboats are basic tugboats, basically parked
Speaker 1: bigger boats. In reality, it's us on on the big
Speaker 1: boat and shoving them around on our small but powerful vessels.
Speaker 1: It's an incredible feeling using the power and utility of
Speaker 1: a vessel like that in what I can imagine is
Speaker 1: the same sentiment for people that do it on the land,
Speaker 1: like in roadcraft, corats and independence. Love you all, Jeff
Speaker 1: from London.
Speaker 2: Man, tugboats are weird, right, Like, how does that little
Speaker 2: thing tug around that big boat? That's nuts?
Speaker 4: I think there's boat boats are weird. Sure, How are
Speaker 4: they stand above the water?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, no one knows, that's that's true. How do
Speaker 3: you think they stay above the water?
Speaker 2: Damn?
Speaker 4: Air is involved?
Speaker 2: Would it make would it? Would it help you if
Speaker 2: I explain that it's the water that keeps the boat
Speaker 2: from from sinking.
Speaker 6: It's because it's like when you breathe in when you're
Speaker 6: underwater and you got air in your lungs and it
Speaker 6: makes you float up.
Speaker 4: It's like there's pockets of air in the boat.
Speaker 5: I mean sure, but like like the water is pushing
Speaker 5: against the boat, and the way the boat is shaped,
Speaker 5: it like like the bigger it is in the broader
Speaker 5: it is, there's more pressure pushing the boat up and
Speaker 5: keeping it floating as long as there the water doesn't
Speaker 5: get On the other side of that, air.
Speaker 4: And planes and it's like how it's the wings are
Speaker 4: cutting through the air.
Speaker 3: It's not lifting your pressure. And you know, grub sometimes
Speaker 3: you're on you have like a mile before you're going
Speaker 3: to get into the accident, and that's what you're looking
Speaker 3: at in front of you right now.
Speaker 5: It's complicated enough that I don't blame Dan, thank.
Speaker 3: You, thank you. I don't know how this is not
Speaker 3: about then, this is about Grubb. Yeah. I was like,
Speaker 3: I was just curious what Dan would say about it.
Speaker 2: And then and you know you didn't know, and you're right,
Speaker 2: that's not surprising, and back ours right that I should
Speaker 2: cut it off now instead of trying to explain.
Speaker 3: You're like, You're like, I bet if I keep going
Speaker 3: sixty pounds an hour, I'll hit that car a mile
Speaker 3: ahead of it. You're like, might as well floor it.
Speaker 1: Speaking about cutting it off. Next email comes from Owen
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. Hey, BombCast folk, welcome and congrats on independence.
Speaker 1: Jan mentioned a bit ago that crop tops should be
Speaker 1: a thing that is added to the store, which can
Speaker 1: be difficult. I run a merch store as well, but
Speaker 1: I have an elegant solution for a quick mock up design.
Speaker 1: Even behold the greatest worst idea ever official giant bomb
Speaker 1: diy crop tops, and now I will show the image
Speaker 1: on screen. Owen here has included a dotted line across
Speaker 1: where the tummy would be.
Speaker 3: You got it.
Speaker 2: That's clever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you can take the rest of the
Speaker 1: shirt and perhaps fashion like a headband or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's tough to source out crop tops turns out really,
Speaker 3: I mean, the the partner we work with does not.
Speaker 3: I don't believe offer that out of the gate. We'd
Speaker 3: have to self source herd requests. I think this is
Speaker 3: a great worker. I think it makes it fun too. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I like it. We could also see how good people
Speaker 3: are at cutting things. Yeah, you know they should come
Speaker 3: like pre cut, like perforated, right where you're just sort
Speaker 3: of like you tear off the tag yourself that'd beat
Speaker 3: and then just put it.
Speaker 2: You wash it once and the and the bottom falls off.
Speaker 3: That's how it works. There we go, There we go?
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: Next email comes from Ross from gig Harbors soon to
Speaker 1: be Oa Claire. Sure, oh no, actually, Alex and Bendigo. First,
Speaker 1: of all the things that confuse me about America, and
Speaker 1: there's a lot, even more so recently, it's that grape
Speaker 1: seems to be one of your standard flavors or soda, jelly, candy, whatever.
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like something you could explain to me.
Speaker 1: Why is this the case? So what's something about another
Speaker 1: country that puzzles you?
Speaker 4: Wait?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 6: No, I mean, it's the least of our problems, Like
Speaker 6: you don't understand, like, look, candy is rape?
Speaker 4: You got strawberry, you got green apple.
Speaker 6: It's just like all the different fruits translate very well
Speaker 6: to candy tastes, and grape is a fruit.
Speaker 3: But to be clear, grape flavor tastes nothing like any
Speaker 3: grape flavor.
Speaker 5: I guess that's what they're getting at, is that, you know,
Speaker 5: it's like our blue raspberry flavor.
Speaker 3: Right, they said grape jelly, That jelly is like shoot grapes.
Speaker 3: No it's not, but it is.
Speaker 2: Made of shoot grapes. Yes, it doesn't taste like grape,
Speaker 2: does not taste like but like wine doesn't taste like
Speaker 2: like grape either. So it's like, I think you can
Speaker 2: make more of here.
Speaker 3: But no, but I but I do think there's a
Speaker 3: tangible difference also with like banana flavored candy, right, Like
Speaker 3: banana flavor is different than grape flavor and how it's
Speaker 3: implemented in I agree with that.
Speaker 6: Can isn't the thing though, that like banana flavoring and
Speaker 6: candy is actually close to what bananas.
Speaker 3: Used to be.
Speaker 6: Like I think I heard interesting like banana shoot bananas
Speaker 6: used to taste like currant candy.
Speaker 4: Bananas. Man, Yeah, I like them both.
Speaker 1: God, I just imagine anytime dances.
Speaker 3: Shoot banana. I just imagine him pointing like bananas at me,
Speaker 3: like they're.
Speaker 5: Guns, banana guns, fire Insnai green.
Speaker 3: Apple the flavor, yeah nay, because green apple doesn't taste
Speaker 3: like apples somehow still disgusting.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, maybe there was a Maybe there's a loophole.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Mikey. What did we roll up to
Speaker 1: a bar and we're all getting apple teenies with the bitches.
Speaker 2: Don't you want to be one of the bitches?
Speaker 5: Girl?
Speaker 3: Gotch girl, girl, I tink a scotch. I love green,
Speaker 3: I love the candy flavor, green apple.
Speaker 5: I think in terms of color flavors. Give me purple
Speaker 5: number one and then yeah, pretty good.
Speaker 3: Grape flavor is more just purple flavor.
Speaker 2: Have we done thiswear?
Speaker 3: Like I said a color and you guys told me
Speaker 3: what what flavor you associate with?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yellow or lemon, even though I like lemon way more.
Speaker 3: But banana comes from lemons? Okay, Red, strawberry, strawberry, I
Speaker 3: think a pink for strawberry because starboard style is I
Speaker 3: agree with cherry green a lot of the time.
Speaker 2: Yes, so yeah, then green watermelon cherry, oh yeah, green green.
Speaker 5: Greenest lime, hopefully, And it was bullshit when they changed
Speaker 5: the lime skittles for the apple one.
Speaker 4: No, it's way better.
Speaker 3: Green green warheads were watermelon, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, sometimes there are watermelon.
Speaker 4: I like it when Candy would do the green and
Speaker 4: red for watermelon, would do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the last one. I think it's the hardest.
Speaker 3: Blue blue raspberry, blue raspberry, yeah, man or blueberry or
Speaker 3: power Aide?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, sure what the blue powerade is these standard?
Speaker 6: I guess like mcdonald'saded. My dorm had it like that,
Speaker 6: Disney has it.
Speaker 2: I think they were just trying to have their color
Speaker 2: the way like Gatorade is that like greenish yellow? Or yeah?
Speaker 3: The orange? Right?
Speaker 4: Oh, I think a glacier freeze for Gatorade.
Speaker 2: Sure, but that's not what in the commercials.
Speaker 3: No Gatorade owns the color orange.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever bought an orange Gatorade,
Speaker 1: but that's like gallons and gallons.
Speaker 5: Of everything, like, yeah, I think og like the Florida
Speaker 5: Gators Gatorade was that yellowish color, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: All right, gang. This now comes from Ross from gig
Speaker 1: Harbor soon to be over. Hey, bomb Marino's I'm moving
Speaker 1: from Washington State to Wisconsin in a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: for work, and the fact that I've been priced out
Speaker 1: of my hometown. Super nervous about it. No friends or
Speaker 1: family out there. I'm really glad. I'll have you all
Speaker 1: to listen to as a form of stability. I've been
Speaker 1: listening since twenty fourteen. Wow, ten years. It's flown by thanks.
Speaker 3: By eleven but who's counting? Okay, it's all right, back,
Speaker 3: don't correct expressing gratitude.
Speaker 1: If you had to move to a different state, where
Speaker 1: would you move and why? Also, my wife's sold my
Speaker 1: PS four two wi's in my three sixty Skyrim Smash
Speaker 1: Brothers Brawl, Titan Fall one, Controllers and the works at
Speaker 1: our garage sale while I was at work.
Speaker 3: Can you guess how much.
Speaker 4: I can because it's here?
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know, but it's all those things one price, No,
Speaker 5: that's particularly expensive, maybe of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say something like that. Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: seventy dollars.
Speaker 4: I mean, sure, that's low, but like, also, none of
Speaker 4: those are seru valuable right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's why he's moving. Also, four behind his back?
Speaker 1: Is that the implication that's weird? Yes, said while he
Speaker 1: was at work, Like my mom sold all my Happy
Speaker 1: Meal toys. Yeah, two Whee's should go for a hundred
Speaker 1: two wee's.
Speaker 6: I think Wheeze are real cheese. The PEP four would
Speaker 6: go for more than the we The three sixers are
Speaker 6: pretty cheap. But like Skyrim Smash Brawl, I mean as
Speaker 6: far as Smash Brothers controllers controllers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's more than seventy seventy, but it's
Speaker 3: not great.
Speaker 2: It's like a grand you know, no, it wasn't so
Speaker 2: a GameCube ship. PS four alone is like seventy Like honestly,
Speaker 2: it might be much more than.
Speaker 4: That, not much, maybe a pro but base PS four
Speaker 4: I'm going to guess one hundred maybe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think like one hundred and fifty. I
Speaker 3: think I think.
Speaker 5: Wisconsin's a great state. Yeah, in Milwaukee.
Speaker 3: The question is what was the question.
Speaker 4: We're going to move to another state.
Speaker 5: And you know, I hear that Florida siren call sometimes,
Speaker 5: but there's things about rate uh no is one. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: heat is one of them.
Speaker 3: Even in May it was a bit much how hot
Speaker 3: it was there things in Florida.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Florida would maybe be my fiftieth state.
Speaker 1: That.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, and that includes like, you know, Alaska, Yeah, Florida,
Speaker 3: I think, Yeah, there's good fishing in Alaska. Boy, yeah,
Speaker 3: so far to go any where if you live in
Speaker 3: Alaska though, that's the thing, right, Yeah, but I'm non Florida, Like, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's that's it. I understand that Mulani has a really
Speaker 3: good bit about why Florida is the punchline.
Speaker 5: Milanie is also the punchline a little other things.
Speaker 1: By the way, his new show is incredible, That Netflix
Speaker 1: show I have been fun shot.
Speaker 4: It's like the energy of like Old Conan and the Letterman.
Speaker 4: It's fantastic.
Speaker 3: Yes, I would. I mean I have liked.
Speaker 5: Visiting Dan quite a lot in Minnesota. I think I
Speaker 5: would be completely happy there, for sure.
Speaker 3: I would go to Colorado.
Speaker 2: Yeah we would. We would move back to Denver if
Speaker 2: we could afford it, for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, southern California.
Speaker 2: That's not a different state.
Speaker 3: It feels like one, oh Main I would. I would
Speaker 3: live in Maine.
Speaker 6: I'd consider Wisconsin. I mean it's like ten minutes for
Speaker 6: me right now, and the Twin Cities, and yeah.
Speaker 3: I would.
Speaker 5: I would definitely mostly just want to keep staying in Ohio.
Speaker 3: Till I die.
Speaker 5: I think I like Ohio quite a lot.
Speaker 1: I would think about Hawaii, but that would make the
Speaker 1: time difference between me and y'all terribly.
Speaker 5: I saw that Stitch Live actually make talking about Hawaii.
Speaker 3: I thought it was fine. It's yeah, fine, is right,
Speaker 3: a generous be honest. If Disney wasn't in Florida, you'd
Speaker 3: have no they have no place?
Speaker 5: Would the universal be there?
Speaker 2: Still?
Speaker 3: No being close to the okay cool?
Speaker 2: Okay the time?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fine because even when you're there, you're not
Speaker 3: really in Florida, I know.
Speaker 5: Exactly right right, Like I would live like right by
Speaker 5: there at having just the we.
Speaker 3: It's just the same we for them.
Speaker 5: Can hear another?
Speaker 2: Can people still move into Triumph Florida? When is this
Speaker 2: celebration celebration Disney's town?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they have like an even fancy or one
Speaker 5: like actually in Disney World that's very expensive.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 5: Celebration is still a thing.
Speaker 3: My wife's boss has a.
Speaker 2: Place in celebration.
Speaker 1: So you know what, I did really really really like
Speaker 1: Philadelphia when Dan and I were That was a great time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I like that a lot.
Speaker 2: We can all agree. No New Jersey though, right, come on.
Speaker 3: Cool Road. Jersey.
Speaker 5: Pennsylvania is another one where you do it to specify
Speaker 5: West pennsylvani or East Pennsylvania. It's a very I think
Speaker 5: you have there you go, I was spending most of
Speaker 5: my days.
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, no one, well, because Philadelphia is essentially
Speaker 3: like southwest New Jersey, right in a weird.
Speaker 5: Wah some bet ball outside of all right, I get it.
Speaker 3: Next next email, you forget about me, I will. Next
Speaker 3: thing comes from Cooper and San Jose. Hey, folks.
Speaker 1: After hearing last week's episode where you're y'all talked about
Speaker 1: memes in brain rot, I figured I would never have
Speaker 1: a better time than now to send this email. I
Speaker 1: work as a high school English teacher, and for their
Speaker 1: final projects, I had my ap kids create presentations on
Speaker 1: any subject of their choosing. One of my groups chose
Speaker 1: Italian brain rots.
Speaker 3: My god, thing, you weren't just making a joke earlier.
Speaker 3: It's real. I told you did. Came home and he's like, Dad,
Speaker 3: sit down, all right. And another chose teaching mister Cooper
Speaker 3: about the Internet. After hearing mister Cooper, that's awesome.
Speaker 1: After hearing their presentations and learning about tra Trililero, trala
Speaker 1: la a three legged shark with blue shoes. Bombardino crocodilio
Speaker 1: in Air Force bomber with a crocodile head. Note Dan,
Speaker 1: maybe this is a new antagonist for another Air Force
Speaker 1: gater book.
Speaker 4: I will see it.
Speaker 3: Child and Ballerina cappuccina a ballerina.
Speaker 2: That's Italian.
Speaker 3: Brain Rod, Yes, it's insane.
Speaker 5: Fucking ballerina cappuccina to me a hundred times today for
Speaker 5: the last week.
Speaker 2: Where did they learn this?
Speaker 3: It's school, It's it's just this. Mike's right, it's the streets.
Speaker 3: I literally about the google is ballerina capucina Italian? Yes?
Speaker 3: That is like on the encyclopedia entry.
Speaker 1: That's what you get, Okaypina a ballerino with a cappuccino
Speaker 1: for a head.
Speaker 3: I realized that it's effectively a.
Speaker 9: New wave of Dadaism artass, a counterculture art style around
Speaker 9: the nineteen twenties that utilized nonsensical noises and sounds, vibrant colors,
Speaker 9: louse shapes, random objects, and was essentially your great grandparents's
Speaker 9: brain rot.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Wait, TomTom, is that something I don't know that I've
Speaker 2: not heard of? Okay, because I think he's the other
Speaker 2: guy that hangs out with Ballerina Cappuccina.
Speaker 5: It's for sure.
Speaker 3: Essentially.
Speaker 1: When I told the kids about this, they were bored
Speaker 1: out of their minds and visibly upset. I wasn't disgusted
Speaker 1: and repulsed by their nonsense, Tina. Teenagers hate nothing more
Speaker 1: than adults accepting, even using their culture, and me, yes.
Speaker 5: Oh they yeah, Pokemon episodes in the South.
Speaker 4: That's what my dad does it every holiday thing is
Speaker 4: He asked me, like, what are kids saying now?
Speaker 3: When else?
Speaker 6: I'm like, just say skibbity and they'll say that around
Speaker 6: my nieces and they will hate it.
Speaker 5: So fucking yes, that's good.
Speaker 1: All right, fantastic, Thank you Cooper in San Jose for
Speaker 1: that informational dump there about Ballerina Cappuccina. I think Dan
Speaker 1: may have a legal case against Lambardino Crocodilio.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't like that.
Speaker 5: Tum Tun Tune Suher is an anthropomorphic wooden object resembling
Speaker 5: an Indian club and beddug drum and holding a baseball bat. Yep,
Speaker 5: that's him. Sounds problematic, Yes, that's.
Speaker 2: My kids have also been bringing up tung tung tongue
Speaker 2: to be a bunch and I'm like, okay, they like
Speaker 2: the Internet or like I think YouTube just sort of
Speaker 2: like find does it for them?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's It's that is weird where like you
Speaker 3: would think there would be such diversity in slang, but
Speaker 3: somehow there's enough of like a a sort of overhead
Speaker 3: of connective tissue where everyone is on the same page
Speaker 3: about something with very little overlap.
Speaker 2: It's it happened even like an our day right where
Speaker 2: it's like a lot of these things would have spread
Speaker 2: from school to school across country, and You're like, how
Speaker 2: did that work without the like you know, we had
Speaker 2: the early Internet. Maybe sure, but that's what it wasn't
Speaker 2: through that it was. It was just through like Rex
Speaker 2: sports it would.
Speaker 4: Started doing, not because of like Wayne's world, Like that's basically.
Speaker 5: Yeah from Aladdin said that.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's where it came from.
Speaker 5: I sort wants to know, is like.
Speaker 3: A bull spaghetti or something count as Italian brain rot?
Speaker 3: No it does. No, I mean we're too old to
Speaker 3: contribute to the brain rot. Yeah, we can just be observers, like.
Speaker 5: Tasteful observers like the man on Mars.
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, BombCast Bombcasts a giant bomb dot com is
Speaker 1: the email ad. Just send all of your emails too.
Speaker 1: I love and appreciate all of them, and I do

Speaker 5: I played both of those Nike Dive remasters and they're
Speaker 5: both good. But Doom sixty four is like noticeably a
Speaker 5: better video like a base better video game than Tarok
Speaker 5: one is.

Speaker 5: to go back and play that stupid Atlantis level again.
Speaker 5: And that's been.
Speaker 3: Driving me crazy. Yeah, I didn't hear about that happening.
Speaker 6: It's more complicated than that, isn't it, Because didn't you
Speaker 6: He should be able to just go back and beat
Speaker 6: that level. Okay, so the timeline he's on, all the
Speaker 6: stuff he beat after that is still good.
Speaker 5: He just needs to beat that initial level. Castle two
Speaker 5: is fine. That's still beaten, which was the easier level
Speaker 5: to be fair. But okay, got to go back to
