00:00:27,239 --> 00:00:29,679

Speaker 1: In today's episode, Xbox canceled the game, Xbox closed a studio.

8
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,560
What the hell is Xbox doing? But first, I want

9
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,920

on his little vacation. Yeah, how's it going, Sean.

12
00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:08,239
Speaker 2: It's been a week, a lot of highs and lows,

13
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,719
this one. But it's also a short work week for

we just get to relax actually do this show. So

16
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,400
we're gonna try to do that.

17
00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm definitely, you know, looking forward to a long weekend.

18
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,159
I have some video games that I want to play.

19
00:01:24,359 --> 00:01:26,159
I want to stream. I haven't been able to stream.

20
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:29,079
I've been doing other things every night. What had this?

21
00:01:30,519 --> 00:01:33,159
The ten Dogs Tuesday? Wegga man on Wednesday.

22
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,239
Speaker 2: It all sounds like a whack ass name, but all right.

23
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: Lega man. It makes me. It makes me feel like

24
00:01:39,719 --> 00:01:41,920
I'm a doctor, like from Megga man eight, like we

25
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:49,799
messed out quickly weggaman doctor? Whywe But uh yeah, I

26
00:01:50,519 --> 00:01:54,000
definitely I'm not like tired in a bad way, Sean.

27
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,439
But it was a busy week, even though it was

28
00:01:55,439 --> 00:01:57,239
a short week, even though I didn't even work Monday.

29
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,840
I don't know what I'm complaining about, but yet here

30
00:01:59,879 --> 00:02:03,359
I am. I'm ready. I'm ready to just chill. Do

31
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,040
people so say chillax? Is it embarrassing to.

32
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,479
Speaker 2: Say, well it is now after you just did that

33
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:10,000
right there?

34
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:13,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, screw it, I'm gonna chillax. Uh. You know what

35
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,759
I found out today? You know what I said today.

36
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,120
I said a lot of things today on this week,

37
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,520
various forms of content. You know what. The one the

38
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,439
one thing is as made people most upset is when

39
00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:24,800
I came out as pro carpet.

40
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,319
Speaker 2: Oh that okay, I was gonna. I had other guesses,

41
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:31,120
but all right, what was your guess?

42
00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: Uh?

43
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: So carpet? Huh uh? The pro you like carpet?

44
00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: My carpet is soft, it's warm, it's fuzzy. I just

45
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,919
think it feels better than hardwood floor. I think the whole.

46
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,840
It's soel gross thing is overstated. You can clean your

47
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:49,639
carpet just fine. You can vacuum it a lot, and

48
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,000
every once in a while you can get the carpet

49
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,919
cleaner out. You can get at wet and soapy and

50
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,560
dry it. It's fine.

51
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,319
Speaker 2: I think part of that is that you are single

52
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,439
and you live alone, and so you're very much in

53
00:03:02,479 --> 00:03:05,280
control of what gets on the carpet and everything. If

54
00:03:05,319 --> 00:03:07,879
you live with someone who is messier, if you live

55
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,199
with like pets who don't behave themselves on the carpet

56
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,240
and stuff like that, especially if you live with kids.

57
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,759
I live with my little sister for a long time

58
00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:17,240
when she was like a baby, carpet was a nightmare.

59
00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:20,879
We were praying for hardwood floors. So it depends on

60
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,360
your living situation for sure.

61
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: Maybe here's the thing is that this house has some

62
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,039
hardwood floors and it's all kind of shitty, Like it's

63
00:03:28,719 --> 00:03:31,800
not really hardwood. It's this vinyl situation, right that is

64
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,639
really lame. And then like there's tile in my kitchen,

65
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,840
but like the it's cracking and it's real shitty too.

66
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,919
At some point here, frankly, once like you know, years

67
00:03:44,919 --> 00:03:46,599
from now, when there aren't pets here, are probably going

68
00:03:46,639 --> 00:03:48,639
to redo all of the floor and have a clean

69
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,520
start on that, and it's going to be an annoying

70
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:54,319
expense and all that stuff, and I don't know. I'm

71
00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:56,159
just thinking about right now and when it comes time

72
00:03:56,439 --> 00:03:59,039
to put new floor in my living room, I just

73
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,439
kind of want to put it in. We'll see.

74
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,639
Speaker 2: Are you one of those guys where like, you know,

75
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,800
you've bought the house or you're paying it off whatever,

76
00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:08,680
and you're like, this is it. This is the house.

77
00:04:08,759 --> 00:04:10,960
I'm not like looking for other houses in the future

78
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:11,680
or anything like that.

79
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:15,479
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll see. Unless my life circumstances change a lot,

80
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:18,800
I'm generally pretty good here. There's a couple things. I

81
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,519
wish I had a bigger bathroom. I wish I didn't

82
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:25,600
have to go downstairs and upstairs for laundry, small stupid things. Otherwise,

83
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,720
h I'm pretty comfortable here. Okay, cool, It's me all

00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:23,639
I have my own one dis.

104
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: Whatever you want to twitches, whatever you want to do.

105
00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:29,720
They're all good, all right, Yeah, busy week, lots of

106
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,720
talk about Actually, so you know, I have your xboxes canceled,

107
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,040
Perfect Dark reboot. They close the developer. That means the

108
00:05:38,079 --> 00:05:42,040
initiative is gone. There's been just a bunch of layoffs

109
00:05:42,079 --> 00:05:45,519
all over the place with Microsoft, it laid off four

110
00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:48,399
percent of its employees. That's about roughly nine thousand and

111
00:05:48,519 --> 00:05:52,680
one hundred. This has included a good amount of video

112
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,360
game people. Zenomax Online Studios has canceled an MMO that

113
00:05:57,639 --> 00:06:01,160
it was working on. Even place is like King who

114
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,000
makes candy crushing and Raven software that works on Call

115
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:09,560
of Duty has seen layoffs. Same with Turned ten. All

116
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,519
sorts of studios have been impacted by this.

117
00:06:14,519 --> 00:06:16,759
Speaker 2: It was insane trying to It was insane to like

118
00:06:16,879 --> 00:06:18,639
keep up with all of them. I'm glad you're like

119
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,680
keeping tabs on that because like every feels like every

120
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,079
time I check down Blue Sky, we just got another one,

121
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,680
like the VGC crew or something like reports of this

122
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:30,279
team getting cuts, this team getting laid off, this game

123
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:32,920
getting canceled. It was wild there for a couple of

124
00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:33,600
days there.

125
00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: Yeah. Over at Rare they canceled ever while yes, and

126
00:06:38,959 --> 00:06:41,079
Gregor Males, who was like, you know, he has been

127
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,040
there forever. He's a director of CfDS. We're doing Banjo

128
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,920
Kazuli is leaving the studio. Even impacts people who are

129
00:06:47,959 --> 00:06:51,680
just working with Microsoft. John Romero's students working on an

130
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,680
FPS that was, you know, being published by Microsoft. Well

131
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,000
they pulled out and now that studio is just kind

132
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,680
of screwed, so you know, they lost their fun. So

133
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:05,959
huge ratifications for this all over the place, lots of

134
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,680
it is shocking. I mean again, we knew this was coming,

135
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,879
but boy, the perfect dark thing, especially the initiative were

136
00:07:13,079 --> 00:07:16,959
they were they.

137
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: Such a big hard for them. Yeah, they were really

138
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,800
pushing that in whatever whatever showcase it was where they

139
00:07:20,879 --> 00:07:23,360
last showed. It was last year, the one before, and

140
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,920
it was it was a big deal to them. They

141
00:07:26,199 --> 00:07:28,120
were like, yeah, this is this is one of our

142
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,759
big new releases. We're reviving an old franchise. It's gonna

143
00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:34,240
make new players happy, old players happy. And to just

144
00:07:34,279 --> 00:07:38,800
cut that completely, like even though we knew that development

145
00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:40,959
was troubled down that you know, Jeff talked about a

146
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,360
little bit, you know, Red Red Valentine put out that

147
00:07:44,439 --> 00:07:46,839
report a while back over IGN like it seemed like

148
00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:50,560
things were shaky. But just the fact that they they

149
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,920
completely can't all of it feels wild. Considering how much

150
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,040
they are propping up. It feels like almost like, I

151
00:07:57,079 --> 00:07:59,720
don't know, it would be like canceling. What are we

152
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:03,040
on like year six or something like kind of feels

153
00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:05,279
like that level to me based on how they were

154
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,319
treating it right.

155
00:08:06,759 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it's a huge game. They made this studio

156
00:08:09,439 --> 00:08:12,160
specifically because they wanted to be able to compete more

157
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,279
with PlayStation. They're calling it quatrouple way. They even brought

158
00:08:15,319 --> 00:08:19,399
in Crystal Dynamics to help, so, you know, start only

159
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,000
thing of well, money and like manpower wasn't the problem.

160
00:08:23,959 --> 00:08:25,680
So what the hell happened there? How are they not

161
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:28,560
able to get something going there? And whose fault is that? Really?

162
00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:31,600
I doubt it's the fault of many the people who

163
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,879
are now out of work because of that.

164
00:08:34,279 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 2: It never really is. It's almost always management. You know,

165
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:42,720
management isn't guiding the ship properly and the ship goes

166
00:08:42,759 --> 00:08:45,879
up on the rocks, And you don't blame the crew

167
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,039
who's below decks trying to like, you know, get everything sorted,

168
00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:52,759
pail out the water when there's a crack, Like, no,

169
00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:56,080
it's the captain wasn't looking in the right direction. You know,

170
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,360
it's their fault. It almost always is in cases like this.

171
00:08:59,480 --> 00:08:59,879
Speaker 3: Right.

172
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: Abslutely, I yeah, the whole thing is just absolutely it's

173
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:11,200
it's startling, and I don't know what exactly Xbox's plan

174
00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:14,320
is right now, how this makes you know they're gonna

175
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,799
throw shit out there like, oh, we're a swifter company now,

176
00:09:17,159 --> 00:09:21,080
blah blah blah. I mean, what's the strategy there. It's

177
00:09:21,159 --> 00:09:23,200
just it seems to be we're gonna we're more of

178
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,279
a publisher. Okay, but then they still talk about these,

179
00:09:27,399 --> 00:09:30,360
you know, a next gen system and all that stuff, right,

180
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,240
part yeah, part of me is almost like pick something,

181
00:09:34,279 --> 00:09:36,759
because who's going to be excited about a next Xbox?

182
00:09:36,919 --> 00:09:40,120
How is a new Xbox possibly going to do any

183
00:09:40,159 --> 00:09:41,519
better than a series X did?

184
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 2: It does feel like based on the rog ally partnership,

185
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,279
though then maybe they are heading in based on weird

186
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,600
to some people, but like the three d O or

187
00:09:53,639 --> 00:09:57,919
like CDI sort of hardware strategy where they partner with

188
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,480
people who are already making the hardware and making good

189
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:06,039
hardware at that to make their platform. Obviously, I'm comparing

190
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,320
it to failed platforms, but the difference is those were

191
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,440
platforms trying to get off the ground. But I think

192
00:10:11,639 --> 00:10:14,840
in this way they are going to start working maybe

193
00:10:14,879 --> 00:10:18,879
more closely with like an Asus or someone, to work

194
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,039
on something that is less bespoke, something that is a

195
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,279
little bit more off the shelf. That way they can

196
00:10:25,399 --> 00:10:29,360
do things like because they talked about the rog ally interface,

197
00:10:29,799 --> 00:10:33,840
it is apparently just the new Xbox app, And so

198
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,279
when you fire up theg Xbox ally, it is just

199
00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:41,919
booting into a version of Windows that is running less things.

200
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,480
I'll run less, fewer background tasks, and the desktop is

201
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:48,159
loading and everything. It's just loading into the Xbox app.

202
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,080
And I think because they're putting effort into that and

203
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,799
the way that Sarah Bond has talked about Windows being

204
00:10:53,799 --> 00:10:56,519
the future gaming and stuff, I do think that is

205
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,559
the way forward for them. So if they sell something

206
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,519
that is a console, maybe it is just a PC

207
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,879
running the Xbox app and stuff, which raises a whole

208
00:11:04,919 --> 00:11:08,399
bunch of other questions because technically then they're abandoning backwards

209
00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:12,279
compatibility and stuff. But I feel like that what we've

210
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,960
already seen of that plan is sort of a sneak

211
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,679
preview of what they view the future of Xbox being,

212
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,320
which is in some ways concerning to a lot of people,

213
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:24,679
which I totally get.

214
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,279
Speaker 1: Slaswhisky for them too, right, because you know, if the

215
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,919
ass rog Xbox doesn't do that, well, that's that's a

216
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,879
pretty small investment on their parts, like they're able to

217
00:11:34,919 --> 00:11:38,759
move on from that pretty swiftly. You know, we talked

218
00:11:38,799 --> 00:11:41,960
about management that's not changing. Phil Spencer is still going

219
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,320
to be in charge of Xbox. There's even rumors going

220
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,480
around that he was gonna step down after a year

221
00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:50,600
and Sarah bon become in charge, and Microsoft came out

222
00:11:50,639 --> 00:11:52,600
and just said, no, that's not true. He's gonna He's

223
00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:56,799
gonna be in charge for the foreseeable future here. I mean,

224
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,519
how do you feel about that, because there's you know,

225
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,399
there's one part of me it's like it seems like

226
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,559
everything there is going to crap and none of the

227
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,600
plans under him have really worked. But there's not a

228
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,519
part of me that wonders how much has it change?

229
00:12:08,759 --> 00:12:13,200
But you know, it's like, well, somebody's got a somebody

230
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,879
in management has to kind of take some blame here.

231
00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:18,759
Speaker 2: So here's the thing. You know why Phill's not going

232
00:12:18,799 --> 00:12:20,679
anywhere because they're.

233
00:12:20,519 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: Doing exactly what they want him to do.

234
00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 2: Because he's doing exactly what they want to do, he's

235
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,559
making them money. And then when it comes time for

236
00:12:29,759 --> 00:12:32,399
someone else in Microsoft, you know, whether it be Saty

237
00:12:32,519 --> 00:12:35,720
or whoever, to say we need to cut a crap

238
00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:38,600
ton of jobs that we have more money for other things.

239
00:12:38,759 --> 00:12:41,080
He's not getting in the way of that though from

240
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,879
a business perspective, Bill is doing everything right for them.

241
00:12:45,399 --> 00:12:48,879
It sucks, it's awful. People's lives are being upended, and

242
00:12:48,919 --> 00:12:52,039
we're all pissed. But Microsoft's making money. And that's the

243
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,399
kind of company that Microsoft has always been. They're a

244
00:12:54,399 --> 00:12:58,399
cutthrow company. When you get to be a megacorp, that

245
00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:01,639
is how you treat things like you know, Apple on

246
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,320
their side things is the same way. If they could

247
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,039
be a monopoly, they would. Microsoft has always been that

248
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,159
way where they try to like, you know, demolish the

249
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,120
competition and do all these things. There's a lot of

250
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:13,600
talk right now about their contracts with the military and

251
00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:15,720
people not liking then everything like that. But at the

252
00:13:15,799 --> 00:13:17,320
end of the day, if they're making money, that's what

253
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,840
they're concerned about, and that's why they're all this or

254
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,840
all these resources into AI and whatnot, you know, co Pilot,

255
00:13:23,879 --> 00:13:28,240
they're quadrupling down on all that stuff. That's what they're

256
00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:31,720
concerned about. That's what he's doing. He's still you know,

257
00:13:31,759 --> 00:13:35,519
he's a CEO. He's still that C suite executive who

258
00:13:36,879 --> 00:13:39,480
makes these kind of decisions just because you know, he

259
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,799
put on like a battle Toes T shirt or whatever,

260
00:13:42,879 --> 00:13:45,879
And even if he does genuinely love gaming, it doesn't

261
00:13:45,919 --> 00:13:47,279
mean that he's not still going to be the kind

262
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,639
of person who does this, and that's who they want

263
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,440
in charge there, and that's why he won't go anywhere

264
00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:53,480
unless he wants to.

265
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's exactly right. Do you think this

266
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,600
is going to make any kind of a shift in

267
00:13:57,639 --> 00:14:02,240
the way the consumer feels about Xbox. A part of

268
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,799
me thinks that, you know, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, well

269
00:14:06,799 --> 00:14:09,039
you think it's gonna be less goodwill than ever for

270
00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:12,200
a brand that's been losing goodwill like crazy anyways.

271
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it's I mean, it's really unfortunate, but like

272
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,519
they're not going to care that goodwill is lost until

273
00:14:21,039 --> 00:14:24,159
like they complete they put they bet big on something

274
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,600
with gaming that just completely collapses because no one believes

275
00:14:27,639 --> 00:14:30,519
in them anymore. Like then they'll be a little pissed off.

276
00:14:31,039 --> 00:14:35,120
But with the way things are going, I kind of

277
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,080
feels like maybe at that point they're just like, well,

278
00:14:37,159 --> 00:14:41,159
all right, we're just like really yanking back the reins

279
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,919
at this point and going full jess yup, we're just

280
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,559
Microsoft gaming as a publisher, and it's just gonna maybe

281
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,919
dwindle from there as they care less and less who knows.

282
00:14:50,879 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I mean, you know, there's an average consumer

283
00:14:53,639 --> 00:14:55,840
who maybe not know very much about this, and if

284
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,000
they hear like Years of War six or whatever, E Day,

285
00:14:59,039 --> 00:15:01,919
whatever it's called, is very very good, they're just gonna

286
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,240
go out and get it, and they'll just think it's

287
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,559
on the PlayStation. You know, Microsoft, the Xbox used to

288
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,879
really care about kind of cultivating this community and this

289
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,919
sort of you know, sense of sense of group and

290
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,799
this fandom for around Xbox. I want to you know,

291
00:15:17,919 --> 00:15:21,159
there's all there's a lot of Xbox fan sites, these

292
00:15:21,159 --> 00:15:24,879
passionate people, and I just wonder how much longer that

293
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,240
is almost gonna sort of go on, if a lot

294
00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:30,600
of those places are going to become more general gaming places,

295
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,559
or they you know, if they're just going to continue

296
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,039
to focus on Xbox, which you know, at this point

297
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:42,879
is a third party publisher that dabbles in some hardware experiments.

298
00:15:42,919 --> 00:15:45,600
Maybe now at least, you know, again they're trying to

299
00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:48,200
say that this next console is going to be something interesting.

300
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,519
I'm skeptical of that. We'll see, but you know, and

301
00:15:52,559 --> 00:15:55,679
maybe some of this is I hate to say that

302
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,480
people are gonna forget this. I don't think they're gonna

303
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,279
forget this, but sometimes layoffs do come and go. Remember

304
00:16:01,279 --> 00:16:03,919
when everything happened at Blizzard and it seemed like that's it,

305
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,759
that's the end of Blizzard. Time kind of moves on

306
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,799
in a way and people reevaluate.

307
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: I hate that layoffs are happening so frequently, not necessarily

308
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,399
at this number, but they're happening so frequently that I

309
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,720
did catch myself fing to myself. Okay, so like nine

310
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,320
thousand people, not all of those are specifically gaming, you know,

311
00:16:23,399 --> 00:16:28,440
and that Xbox it's across it's across Microsoft, it's across Microsoft.

312
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,399
And I was thinking to myself, Man, when's the last

313
00:16:31,399 --> 00:16:36,200
time we had layoffs this big related to gaming, like well,

314
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,960
you know, whether it be a bigger business like a

315
00:16:39,039 --> 00:16:42,919
sody layoff bunch of people and stuff, and it was

316
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,919
Microsoft with what the ten thousand or whatever from two

317
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,399
years ago. I'm just like, oh my god, how did

318
00:16:48,399 --> 00:16:51,840
I forget about that? And it's because it feels like

319
00:16:51,879 --> 00:16:55,000
every week it's this team got laid off, this team

320
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,919
got downsize, and earthing like that, and yeah, it sucks.

321
00:16:59,159 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: It's almost a fortune that kind of hits harder when

322
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,720
it is like, oh, wow, this studio closed or this

323
00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:08,160
game was canceled. It shouldn't be like that that way,

324
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,880
but it is. And it makes me wonder what will

325
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,279
happen if it is ever we wake up and it's oh,

326
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,559
Microsoft is shutting down Rare or Microsoft is shutting down

327
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,039
Double Fine, one of these beloved studios that it picked

328
00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:24,519
up to try to, you know, get more content so

329
00:17:24,559 --> 00:17:27,519
it can compete with PlayStation and then that didn't work out. Anyways,

330
00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:29,960
how much longer is it really going to bother footing

331
00:17:30,039 --> 00:17:33,119
the bill for these companies that maybe turn a little

332
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,279
bit of a profit as far as they're concerned, not

333
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,480
a call of duty profit, that's for sure. I just

334
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,759
hope that those companies and everybody is still able to

335
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,680
move along here exactly.

336
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 2: And you know, I will say Bear is probably okay

337
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,720
for now because they have a live service game, and

338
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,559
as long as that keeps going, they'll probably keep funneling

339
00:17:54,599 --> 00:17:56,799
money in. And that's probably the kind of projects and

340
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,359
we'll see you keep going. The IM concerned a bit

341
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,680
about the the smaller projects, the single player projects. They

342
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,680
bought a lot of companies, and it really sucks that

343
00:18:06,799 --> 00:18:09,319
some people are kind of looking up and seeing a

344
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,160
boot above them right now. That's just fucking awful.

345
00:18:14,319 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: Speaking of fuck ups, Mind's Eye Boss reportably claims eternal

346
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,480
and external saboteurs are to blame for the studio as

347
00:18:21,519 --> 00:18:27,440
well from Jordan Miller and VGC. That's it there, that's

348
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,359
the story is that you know, uh, Leslie Benz like

349
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,240
finally came out of fighting whatever to talk to employees there.

350
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,400
Uh all the employees who, by the way, about three

351
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,759
hundred of them have received emails of formulm that they

352
00:18:39,799 --> 00:18:42,839
are at risk of losing their jobs. But no, the

353
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,319
Benz is they're like, oh, we're gonna maybe turn this around.

354
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,160
It's gonna be great. And you know it was. It was.

355
00:18:49,319 --> 00:18:55,279
It's all saboteurs and backstabbers inside and out. That's the

356
00:18:55,319 --> 00:18:59,359
reason nobody likes Mind's Eye. I've seen Mine's Eye. I

357
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,319
know that is. You can't fool me. What are we

358
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:03,359
talking about here?

359
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 2: Is that those pressed sneak box I keep hearing about

360
00:19:07,039 --> 00:19:07,559
or is that.

361
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: Something like that?

362
00:19:10,319 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: It's delusion, right, It's just it's just wrong.

363
00:19:14,039 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: It absolutely is A guy who once worked on the

364
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,359
most popular game in the world and is not able

365
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,319
to handle failure.

366
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 2: Right.

367
00:19:22,039 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a meltdown or what, but

368
00:19:25,079 --> 00:19:28,839
it is just absolutely bizarre. Again, like the game has

369
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,359
like thirty people playing it right now, probably on Steam concurrently.

370
00:19:34,279 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 2: But it was it was a train wreck on release,

371
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,240
and I think I haven't played it. Have you played it?

372
00:19:39,279 --> 00:19:40,160
Have you played Mindset?

373
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: I just watched Jeff play it. I mean it looks

374
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,759
freaking terrible. I have your desire to.

375
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,279
Speaker 2: And that's the thing is, the game could be like

376
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:54,200
maybe an okay, like action shooter, detail adjasent thing or whatever.

377
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,039
Maybe maybe they could like bry for, like a seven

378
00:19:57,079 --> 00:19:59,440
out ten game out of all this, it's the fact

379
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,119
that it is. It's so hilariously broken and buggy, and

380
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,880
it just doesn't freaking work. Like me, maybe they could

381
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:11,160
have almost a Cyberpunk on PS four Xbox one situation,

382
00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:14,200
or they turn things back around. But the broad they

383
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,359
put out is bad across all the platforms, and that's

384
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,880
why people are pissed. It's not a collusion or anything, right.

385
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Cyberpunk still got like a lot mostly eight

386
00:20:24,599 --> 00:20:27,119
right when stuff like that, like Jeff's three out of

387
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,240
five was considered low for cyberpunk back then. Mine's Eye

388
00:20:31,319 --> 00:20:34,680
is at a thirty four. There's nothing to save here.

389
00:20:35,079 --> 00:20:37,559
You'd have to remake the game. You have to do

390
00:20:37,599 --> 00:20:40,160
if Office fourteen did right, just make a new game.

391
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,079
But why bother doing that? It's minds you're not making

392
00:20:44,319 --> 00:20:46,440
the newfound fantasy in a field, and it's some you know,

393
00:20:46,519 --> 00:20:49,400
thing people want to like, but it just didn't work out.

394
00:20:49,559 --> 00:20:51,680
No one cares about liking Mind's Eye. Everyone.

395
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,599
Speaker 2: It's a mediocre video game with awful performance. And that's

396
00:20:55,599 --> 00:20:58,640
why everyone has gone from kind of not caring to

397
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,160
not really liking to hating the thing that they bought

398
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,279
because it just doesn't operate. They can't do anything with it.

399
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,279
Speaker 1: I mean, it's definitely a it's definitely victim's wrong word.

400
00:21:09,759 --> 00:21:12,000
You know, we do tend to kind of gang up

401
00:21:12,039 --> 00:21:15,359
on these awful games sometimes. It's like a phenomenon that

402
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,000
almost started with Red Fall. Maybe I'm sure before that,

403
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,599
but you know, happened with Red Fall, it happened with Concord.

404
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,480
You know, when the games are bad, we kind of

405
00:21:23,519 --> 00:21:27,359
like really sort of poking product the wounds there.

406
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, people people like dunking on things, and that's that's

407
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,279
actually something that I very much myself kind try to

408
00:21:36,279 --> 00:21:40,200
stay away from. It's like, come man, like people people

409
00:21:40,279 --> 00:21:44,160
worked on this, like they tried, and another case of mismanagement.

410
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,400
You know, someone somewhere in the chain did not make

411
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,880
the right call with this. Mind's Eye is clearly a

412
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,839
game where in any other situation it would have been

413
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:57,000
delayed six months to a year because someone looks at it,

414
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,680
they say, oh god, you run into one and they

415
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,799
turned to this horrible spaghetti moscer. Yeah, that's happening consistently.

416
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,400
We need to push this back and they just didn't

417
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,640
do that. And that's it's pretty obvious to me at least,

418
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,720
that that's what the problem is here. I assume that's

419
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,759
what the problem is here. And yeah, it comes from

420
00:22:17,799 --> 00:22:21,519
somewhere further up the chain, but people further up the

421
00:22:21,599 --> 00:22:24,799
chain there to be a little delusional about that fact.

422
00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting to hear from Mind's eet again, I have,

423
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,720
you know, Unfortunately, I do expect that studio to close,

424
00:22:32,759 --> 00:22:35,839
and it's it sucks, but that unfortunately imagine any other

425
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,960
future there. Right, all right, that's it for our very

426
00:22:39,039 --> 00:22:42,240
uplifting news segment today. We're going to take a quick break,

427
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:48,480
we'll be right back. Read some super chats. All right,

428
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,400
we're back. We've got some super chats. So right here,

429
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,559
Thank you so much, everybody. Slay mccossam says, in honor

430
00:22:54,559 --> 00:22:56,119
of the fourth of July, can you guys do a

431
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,680
mount rushmore of presidents? Sure?

432
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,519
Speaker 2: William Howard taffed, Uh naturally?

433
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I don't know, can it just be taffed?

434
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,000
Maybe this is one. It's just a giant task statue

435
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:09,079
attached to you.

436
00:23:09,759 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 2: And what's his face from Metal Wolf Chaos?

437
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,559
Speaker 1: Okay, there you go. I know he's just a senator.

438
00:23:15,559 --> 00:23:18,119
I thought he was a president, but maybe Armstrong.

439
00:23:18,319 --> 00:23:21,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, like honorarily in Mike's United

440
00:23:21,599 --> 00:23:23,400
States of America Armstrong.

441
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: I guess we could do solid as snake. He was president,

442
00:23:26,519 --> 00:23:27,480
which is really funny.

443
00:23:28,519 --> 00:23:31,039
Speaker 2: Again, you know, I guess they didn't specify video game

444
00:23:31,079 --> 00:23:32,000
president or real president.

445
00:23:32,079 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 4: So there, Yeah, he's the guy from Metal Wolf Chaos.

446
00:23:37,279 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 2: Did you look that up or did you know that one? Christian? No?

447
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:40,599
Speaker 3: No, I looked it up.

448
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 2: You're gone, okay, because I'm it feels like something maybe

449
00:23:45,279 --> 00:23:47,839
Christian memorized at one point in his life, and he

450
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,119
remembers it, okay.

451
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: Gotcha, And I'm just thinking about via game presidence because

452
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,720
there's the president from ninokne to which should have been amazing,

453
00:23:55,759 --> 00:23:59,519
and then it just is okay, but yeah, just the

454
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,680
tast I care. But you can put anyone else you

455
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,160
want after that. Tuber says, Okay, I pull up hop

456
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,839
out at the after party. You and all your friends, Yeah,

457
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,000
they love Mike MANAUGHTI I think this is a song

458
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,279
they're doing here. Perhaps you yeah, yeah, but I liked it.

459
00:24:14,279 --> 00:24:17,039
I like it, Tuber, Thank you so much. Lex Luddy says,

460
00:24:17,079 --> 00:24:19,200
my uncle lives in Boston. I'm going to start calling

461
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,160
myself the most American contributor to Giant Bomb. Did you

462
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,920
watch the truck today when Dan rickerts uh the first

463
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:33,519
Dan Rekords Uh didn't know that that super was Irish,

464
00:24:33,559 --> 00:24:36,519
and then Syder claimed to be the most Irish.

465
00:24:36,599 --> 00:24:38,599
Speaker 2: Uh huh, Oh, don't worry. I was there for the

466
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,799
whole thing. I was there when Lex Luddy called into

467
00:24:41,839 --> 00:24:45,119
the show. And of all the contributors to Giant Bomb

468
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,039
are the years, not once was I mentioned as an

469
00:24:48,079 --> 00:24:50,000
Irish person on the website.

470
00:24:50,519 --> 00:24:54,039
Speaker 1: Look, I was dumbfounded by everything else going on in

471
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:59,440
my In my defense, bes it was, it was a lot.

472
00:25:00,799 --> 00:25:04,079
Next up is from Geo Reaper. Let's get an update

473
00:25:04,079 --> 00:25:05,759
in the new bars. When is Game of Rep two

474
00:25:05,799 --> 00:25:09,920
point zero dropping? I know, I know, it's a long weekend.

475
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,720
I'm going to work on that this weekend. Like I said,

476
00:25:13,759 --> 00:25:15,960
it's been, it's been. It's been very busy. It's not

477
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,079
an excuse. I will get on I'll get on that.

478
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,200
I'll do that. Sean will do Dave, Sean, We're all

479
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:27,599
gonna fulfill our obligations. It's obligation month.

480
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 2: Obligation Giant bomb less. Yeah.

481
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had a nepotism week this week. Now it's

482
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,519
an obligation week.

483
00:25:34,759 --> 00:25:36,279
Speaker 2: Scout's been producing the whole time.

484
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, so probably good for a dog. It's like that

485
00:25:38,839 --> 00:25:43,680
dog at the end of uh, like the dog from that. Yeah,

486
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,839
Simon from Saskatchewan's this from now on. When things don't

487
00:25:46,839 --> 00:25:49,160
go my way, I'll say it's because of internal and

488
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,960
external saboteurs. Too bad, if it's too boring because it

489
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,680
has a Blake Club written over. Yeah, that's the thing.

490
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,599
Like usually when a game gets like a score of

491
00:25:57,599 --> 00:25:59,680
a thirty, it's like, oh, this would be a great

492
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,680
Blake Club game. At least but this like just doesn't

493
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,720
even seem like it's very exciting for that, it's just

494
00:26:04,759 --> 00:26:05,359
not a good fit.

495
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 2: I love the way you say saboteurs by the way,

496
00:26:09,799 --> 00:26:12,119
yeah yellow Sean Connery or something.

497
00:26:12,319 --> 00:26:14,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'm thinking of like the guy from

498
00:26:14,799 --> 00:26:17,680
the Peak movies. I don't know. That's why. That's why

499
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:23,440
I want to say it, Simon Simon Sasketchewan says, Risten Peace.

500
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,640
Michael Mattson ever play Crime Boss that's rock A City?

501
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,519
I did not. I think I watched when Giant Bomb

502
00:26:30,519 --> 00:26:34,440
played it at one point there, But no, do you

503
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,799
do you ever do any rock k City? Or you

504
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,480
a big Madisen fan?

505
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 2: No? And no, I'll be honest, I didn't really recognize

506
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,319
this person by name. I heard the news.

507
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: He does a lot of Tarantino stuff. So if you're

508
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:53,440
not person, Wiley Jenkins says, as an Xbox owner since

509
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,160
the o G, I think going forward, PC, Nintendo or

510
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:57,960
the way to go if you want to make sure

511
00:26:58,039 --> 00:27:00,519
that games aren't in afterthought, I mean if you do,

512
00:27:00,799 --> 00:27:02,160
I mean you get a PC, you're gonna get all

513
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,039
the same games. Anyways. It's that's again like I get

514
00:27:06,079 --> 00:27:10,680
them releasing their games on other systems PC and PlayStation

515
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,240
do more for Nintendo. I just have no idea what

516
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:19,119
the selling point for the next Xbox is possibly going

517
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,559
to be or what's their sex appectations for that can possibly.

518
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,799
Speaker 2: Let's be real, Since the birth of Xbox play anywhere,

519
00:27:28,039 --> 00:27:31,960
the play has been EC and Nintendo and if you're

520
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,880
interest in their exclusives, PlayStation at PlayStation now bringing everything

521
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,799
a PC on delay. If you're cool at PC, like

522
00:27:38,839 --> 00:27:40,799
you know, I'll keep saying it, Yeah, PC and a

523
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,680
switch now switch too. This is the most cost effective

524
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,039
way to play like ninety games, you know. So if

525
00:27:48,079 --> 00:27:50,799
you're down, good route to go absolutely.

526
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 1: Artie Bick, who has been a Lincoln member for seventeen months, says,

527

Speaker 2: Yeah. I guess we haven't really mentioned it here on

532
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,559
games yet, but yeah, we we work something out. So

533
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,920
you guys are still building the airplane mid flight a

534
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,279
little bit over at the independent Giant Bomb, but you

535
00:28:20,319 --> 00:28:23,519
guys need some help. I needed a freaking job. We

536
00:28:23,599 --> 00:28:26,279
figured something out. So yeah, I'm back to helping out.

537
00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 3: Content is gonna come to chimbone finally, He.

538
00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:32,319
Speaker 1: And I was on almost everything this week. Didn't you

539
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:33,519
enjoy this week's content?

540
00:28:33,599 --> 00:28:34,319
Speaker 3: That was pretty good?

541
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 2: Yes? And that. Yeah, that's totally not a sign that

542
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:38,680
you're very busy.

543
00:28:41,079 --> 00:28:43,799
Speaker 1: David Arlene says, if Xpision thirty three doesn't win Game

544
00:28:43,839 --> 00:28:46,720
of the Year, like Jeff guaranteed, that's the shape of

545
00:28:46,799 --> 00:28:50,119
Turbo Shawn's hair, I don't think Shan's gonna agree to that.

546
00:28:51,599 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 2: Hell no, I'm growing it out. I'm liking growing it out.

547
00:28:54,799 --> 00:28:58,119
That The story I'm sticking to this week is, first,

548
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,680
I took his spot on de sides, that I took

549
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,240
his hair, that I took a job as company. It's

550
00:29:03,279 --> 00:29:05,680
a great week for me to steal from Jeff Grubb.

551
00:29:06,039 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I took a morning show. We're just all taking.

552
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,839
I'm not giving it back. Actually, it's a lot of work.

553
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,519
You can have it back. That's fine, I'll tell you what.

554
00:29:15,599 --> 00:29:17,319
When he said that, there's partly like, oh, I hope

555
00:29:17,359 --> 00:29:20,119
it wins, but I don't know. Now that Dan Reikert

556
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,960
is really liking Expedition thirty three I am feeling pretty

557
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,519
good about it, So yeah.

558
00:29:24,359 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 2: I knew Dan would too, because like he would. In part,

559
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,440
it helps because as a realistic art style, let's be real,

560
00:29:30,759 --> 00:29:33,920
but also because it's a turn based game that has

561
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,480
an active element, and that is a huge barrier for

562
00:29:36,559 --> 00:29:39,000
so many people by self include. Honestly, as much as

563
00:29:39,039 --> 00:29:43,160
I love JRPGs, I do definitely prefer action RPGs most

564
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,400
of the time. But also I've always loved the the

565
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,880
the Mario RPG's style, having just a little something in

566
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,960
there to like keep the turn based stuff interesting. And

567
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,079
that's why I think everyone's fall in love with Expedition

568
00:29:57,079 --> 00:29:57,880
thirty three and.

569
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,079
Speaker 3: It's Adams fuck.

570
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: And Dan really love what he loves anime when it's

571
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,839
not presented as anime. It's got to be like secret anime.

572
00:30:06,279 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 2: He's a gigantic Metal Year fan, so of course he

573
00:30:08,759 --> 00:30:10,720
actually loves anime. You though he'll never me.

574
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: He just.

575
00:30:13,079 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 3: It's like a baby.

576
00:30:13,759 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 4: You gotta do like a plane, like pretend to said

577
00:30:16,119 --> 00:30:19,599
the spoon of a plane anime.

578
00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:25,799
Speaker 1: You know, I'm fine with, like very like basic turn

579
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:31,000
based systems for sure, but if I was making a

580
00:30:31,039 --> 00:30:34,440
turn based RPG, I would absolutely Mario RPG the hell

581
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,440
out of it. It just definitely seems like engaged. Yeah,

582
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,920
it helps make get palatable for so many more people.

583
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:47,599
All right, Next up here is uh from Baba is me, Hey,

584
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,119
my great job on Game this mornings. Thank you. It's

585
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,519
just a Wally Pitt moment for what's his name, John Grubb.

586
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,319
That's a baseball reference Wally Pip No, like I said,

587
00:30:57,319 --> 00:30:59,039
he could take it back. I'll go on there once

588
00:30:59,039 --> 00:31:01,400
a while. It's a yeah, it's it was fun. I

589
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,319
enjoyed doing it. It was nice doing it with Jan.

590
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,160
It was nice to get a j on there helping.

591
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,480
But that that entire time, I'm like looking at the

592
00:31:08,519 --> 00:31:10,279
clock and I'm like, is this going to be about

593
00:31:10,319 --> 00:31:11,799
an hour? Is this going to be about an hour?

594
00:31:12,359 --> 00:31:14,279
Speaker 2: I know you were really worried about that going in.

595
00:31:14,839 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, because I'm usually a bit more like six

596
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,640
sink then Jeff for other people. Even when I would

597
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,759
be on that show with Jeff, we would usually finish

598
00:31:21,799 --> 00:31:25,000
it like ten minutes earlier than other people. But I

599
00:31:25,119 --> 00:31:25,880
got it. We did it.

600
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then you also had people who definitely helped

601
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,160
helped you there with Jan and AJ, Like you can

602
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,759
chat to them for a while, so you.

603
00:31:33,839 --> 00:31:35,599
Speaker 1: Did just a big win bag for sure.

604
00:31:37,839 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 2: You did a good job this week, Mike.

605

00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: Incredible, Uh, hobbies or sleep says shout the Simon from Worcestershire.

Great member of the community, and hope your battle against

cancer is going well this week. Yes, absolutely, Simon, hope

622
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,000
all is going well. I'm a big fan of the

623
00:32:49,119 --> 00:32:53,720
sauce from your town. Wiley Jenkins says, when you pull up.

624
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,440
It's the old carpet to replace it and see how

625
00:32:56,519 --> 00:32:59,039
many how much dirt. The fact you didn't get you

626
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,319
may change your stand. That is out of sight, out

627
00:33:02,359 --> 00:33:06,480
of mind dirt, my friend, that's completely okay dirt. That's fine.

628
00:33:06,839 --> 00:33:10,119
Speaker 2: That's that's below dirt. We don't talk about the below dirt,

629
00:33:11,559 --> 00:33:12,799
the below dirt exactly.

630
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: Sledge Ryinhold says, nine thousand and so many people, it's

631
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,440
hardy even comprehend. That's choice as many people as the

632
00:33:18,559 --> 00:33:23,920
town I grew up in. Insane Microsoft can go redacted. Yeah,

633
00:33:24,039 --> 00:33:26,799
and again, trillion trillion dollar company, like three points something

634
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:31,920
trillion trillion. No nobody or corporation needs to have a

635
00:33:32,039 --> 00:33:33,640
trillion dollars. It's insane.

636
00:33:33,799 --> 00:33:40,079
Speaker 2: Well do when you're really getting into AI stuff? Yeah, yeah,

637
00:33:40,759 --> 00:33:43,240
spinking money top of the.

638
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,559
Speaker 3: Well havelf of the planet's tweets, who run them?

639
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,839
Speaker 1: You need? Yeah? Well, at least AI has been making

640
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,640
our lives better for sure, Right, has he's been giving

641
00:33:53,759 --> 00:33:55,440
us shitty arts or anything like that?

642
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're worried about.

643
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: Sa Dryinhold says, also great to see Sean back on

644
00:34:02,839 --> 00:34:07,279
the show. Hello, Banjo play Ebarses. Hope you guys have

645
00:34:07,319 --> 00:34:09,760
a great fourth. I think this current generation has been

646
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,760
plagued by a graphics arms race with diminishing returns. Nintendo

647
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,280
has done it right, Yeah, I mean that that has

648
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,440
been a whole thing. I mean the initiative was a

649
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,000
big part of that, right, That's why they're saying quadruple

650
00:34:22,079 --> 00:34:26,079
A blah blah blah blah blah, and like you here,

651
00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:28,239
we are for sure.

652
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:33,119
Speaker 2: I do think we're an interesting slight reset on that though,

653
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,039
because of the growing popularity of handhelds across the board,

654
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,079
especially you know, as PC handhelds are starting to explode

655
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,199
now more and more does more and more companies are

656
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:48,119
focusing on optimizing for smaller screens, optimizing for lower power,

657
00:34:48,599 --> 00:34:50,920
and optimizing in general, because that's how we kind of

658
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,159
didn't have for it's on five years there very much.

659
00:34:54,639 --> 00:34:58,079
So I think maybe that is like again we're talking

660
00:34:58,079 --> 00:35:01,480
about raining things back. That's raining some companies in a

661
00:35:01,519 --> 00:35:04,239
little bit more because they can focus on having just

662
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,199
focused experiences that run on those things.

663
00:35:06,519 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: I almost feel like there's only five franchises we're ever

664
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,320
going to really need to push graphics anymore. It's like

665
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,480
grant the thauto call of duty, Like maybe your gears

666
00:35:14,519 --> 00:35:17,920
of Wars and Your Horizons and Naughty Dog stuff, and

667
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,480
like otherwise, everything can look as good as Expedition thirty

668
00:35:21,519 --> 00:35:22,840
three and that's good enough.

669
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 2: Yeah even then, like as good as all of the

670
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,159
major franchises look. I don't think we really need more

671
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,679
than how they looked on the PS four. No, it's

672
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,960
going to exponentially increase the cost of making the game

673
00:35:35,039 --> 00:35:37,760
and time to make the game. Maybe it's okay if

674
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:39,880
we hit a bit of a plateau until some of

675
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,239
that stuff gets easier, right.

676
00:35:41,639 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: Right, Like, yeah, make the plateau, and again, let's do that.

677
00:35:45,079 --> 00:35:47,280
We got we're even we're starting to get the performance

678
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:48,920
in a decent place for a lot of these things.

679
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,559
So like that's good. Why don't we actually just make

680
00:35:51,639 --> 00:35:53,880
the games look like this forever? They're kind of looking

681
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,000
like the same anyways, because the differences is so minimal.

682
00:35:57,679 --> 00:35:59,599
But just make it the same and make them hopefully

683
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:03,960
easier to create, so we have four your Deth cycles

684
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:08,000
more often. Again, I don't know, maybe we can't go back.

685
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,199
Speaker 3: This is a funny thing. I remember a friend from

686
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,280
the New and Plus Voice, and like when he went

687
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,239
to the E three or the show the PS four

688
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,000
and he saw people cheering for it?

689
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 2: What was it?

690
00:36:18,519 --> 00:36:20,599
Speaker 4: The PS four that it was one of one of

691
00:36:20,679 --> 00:36:23,320
those people were cheering for the terra flops and he said,

692
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,599
we're cook and he wasn't that she.

693
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,199
Speaker 1: Said, so he was.

694
00:36:27,559 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 3: He was.

695
00:36:30,119 --> 00:36:33,519
Speaker 1: Incredible. Uh. Al America says, now, Sean can keep you

696
00:36:33,639 --> 00:36:38,800
boomers and check again. Wow when you had to explain

697
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,719
to me why I was being called a boomer because

698
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,800
I was like, I'm not I don't understand. I'm a

699
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,320
millennia and you might explain it.

700
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,039
Speaker 2: Ah, yeah, it all can't boils out to Mike. Look

701
00:36:49,079 --> 00:36:51,320
behind you, Just look behind you a little bit and

702
00:36:51,519 --> 00:36:53,239
maybe maybe think a little.

703
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,039
Speaker 1: Or the replica sign for an Epcot fast food restaurant

704
00:37:04,119 --> 00:37:07,480
that doesn't exist anymore, that might have like a little

705
00:37:07,519 --> 00:37:09,440
bit to do with it, you know, dah, just a

706
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,000
little bit, maybe just a bit.

707
00:37:11,199 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 4: Uh.

708
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: Edgar Marino says, I watched The Horse Girl a horse

709
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,639
girl anime. I thought it was a track anime. It

710
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,440
was until the girl was getting horseshoes that it hit

711
00:37:20,599 --> 00:37:22,039
me that they were horses.

712
00:37:22,679 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 2: Yes, I wish you know about USA I have.

713
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 3: I didn't watch any episode of that show, but everybody

714
00:37:30,679 --> 00:37:32,880
hypes it up so hard. It's like I now I

715
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,800
kind of need to watch it. I don't know, I

716
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,199
don't know what to do because something everybody.

717
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,679

725
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,599
Speaker 1: Wow, what's gonna happen?

726
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,000

00:38:09,599 --> 00:38:11,039
Speaker 1: Oh, the horses are got.

728
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,079
Speaker 2: You need to keep Jan away from this game at

00:38:14,119 --> 00:38:18,599
all costs. We need Chan count these treats. Okay, we

730
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,039
can't let Jan throw away the paycheck he doesn't have

731
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:23,760
yet on the Horse Girl game.

732
00:38:24,599 --> 00:38:26,559
Speaker 1: This is not good. This is not good. No horses

733
00:38:26,599 --> 00:38:27,760
for Jan, no.

734
00:38:28,199 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 2: Quick looks, no TV plays.

735
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,679
Speaker 1: We don't quick look away now unfinished, no GP plays,

736
00:38:34,159 --> 00:38:39,159
no Mega Man, no Wegaman, none of it. No Horse Girls.

737
00:38:39,559 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 2: Unfinished is gonna be a name of Jan's resume if

738
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,320
he plays goddamn game, she's gonna get Yeah.

739
00:38:46,159 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, we can't. We can't we can't let this project.

740
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 2: That's all I'm asking for.

741
00:38:51,079 --> 00:38:56,079
Speaker 1: Absolutely not Visualizer says four or four xbox not found

742
00:38:57,159 --> 00:38:59,559
that boy Jerry says is damp co ever gonna give

743
00:38:59,599 --> 00:39:02,000
us in for the next Tales of remaster. Should I

744
00:39:02,039 --> 00:39:04,480
finally just play Tales of the Abyss? Am I totally

745
00:39:04,559 --> 00:39:06,880
real places in two instead that boy Jerry, listen to me,

746
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,639
because me and you we're in this together. Because I

747
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:14,199
also really want to play Tales of the Abyss, because

748
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,360
I I my understanding is that it's the best one

749
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,239
of all the ones I haven't played yet, and I

750
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:19,679
don't want to really play it on my PS two,

751
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,400
and I don't want to play the three DS version.

752
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,519
It's gotta be the one they remastered next. They did Vesperia,

753
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:30,840
they did Simfonia, they did Graces surprisingly before that one.

754
00:39:31,119 --> 00:39:33,719
Maybe because that three DS one happened, it's gonna happen.

755
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,400
I bet, I'm telling you. I think we're gonna get

756
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,360
that within a year, maybe two. I wouldn't be shocked

757
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,760
if it gets announced at some point this year. Even

758
00:39:43,559 --> 00:39:45,679
I think we'll get Tales of the Abyss. If they not,

759
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,639
it's the next remaster somehow is an Abyss it's something

760
00:39:48,679 --> 00:39:51,679
because I think they are doing they forget about auxilia

761
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,880
or one of the other PS three ones. Did they

762
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,280
did say something about that. But we're gonna get abyss eventually.

763
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,079
Speaker 2: Okay? Cool?

764
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: Uh? And the next last one here El Greg says,

765
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,920
remember when Jan called Sean old good times?

766
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 2: I still haven't listened to that episode. What the hell

767
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:09,840
did I miss?

768
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: What?

769
00:40:10,119 --> 00:40:10,760
Speaker 2: What? What do you do?

770
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: I forget? Maybe he knew that you were going to

771
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,800
try to keep him away from the horse girl game

772
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,079
and he lashed out.

773
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 2: I thought the white people are talking about I thought

774
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,719
I had something to do with death stranding or something

775
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,599
like that. I don't know the details. Not to go

776
00:40:24,679 --> 00:40:27,440
back to most of that episode. I suppose it's right.

777
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,199
Speaker 1: I need to play des stranding at some point, don't

778
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:29,800
I do?

779
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:30,159
Speaker 3: Though?

780
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:35,559
Speaker 1: Do you really need? Yeah? Yeah, at least try it again.

781
00:40:35,559 --> 00:40:40,119
I don't want to be you're specifically talking about too. Okay,

782
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,599
you're not going to be that guy who was doing

783
00:40:42,639 --> 00:40:44,599
it the entire time. Now is even going to try it?

784
00:40:44,679 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 2: To? Have you played one at all?

785
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 1: I played one, not all of one, but I played

786
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,039
some of one. I never hated it, I just I did.

787
00:40:52,519 --> 00:40:55,039
I didn't I can't get why people hated it.

788
00:40:55,559 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 4: But Christian, I try so hard to that video game

789
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,800
and I could not get into it. Was so it's

790
00:41:04,079 --> 00:41:06,760
so not it's not it's not a fun game. I

791
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,840
don't know what people want to and I like a

792
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:13,239
bunch of like she's di minush like she was walking around.

793
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,360
I like those kind of games. With this game, I couldn't.

794
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,280
I just I couldn't do it.

795
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, beat me.

796
00:41:20,119 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 3: I didn't beat that game.

797
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:22,199
Speaker 1: The game beat me for me.

798
00:41:23,199 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 2: For me, it was definitely the fact that it's like

799
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:29,159
the first and hours of death Erinding one are boring.

800
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,639
They are like irredeemably boring, and everyone's like it gets

801
00:41:32,679 --> 00:41:35,679
so much better ashure that. I'm like, I do genuinely

802
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,000
believe you. I just feel so burned that I just

803
00:41:38,159 --> 00:41:40,320
wasted like ten hours of my life and something I

804
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,599
was just bored with. Like but no, I'm kind of

805
00:41:42,639 --> 00:41:44,440
interested in death Raining too. With the way people talk

806
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,480
about even like people who are funny dice about the

807
00:41:46,519 --> 00:41:49,800
first one, like me, like, there's actually stuff in here

808
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,199
that is pretty cool gameplay wise and stuff. So I'm like, Okay,

809
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,280
maybe when it goes down price or something, I'll check out.

810
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:56,760
Because you know, I didn't get code or anything. So

811
00:41:57,159 --> 00:41:59,400
maybe when it gets time to like thinking about Game

812
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:03,920
of the Years, pick it up comes on PC maybe

813
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,800
then or something. But like I'm interested in trying to

814
00:42:07,119 --> 00:42:10,679
especially when people say, like you don't need to necessarily

815
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,800
play one as much. Yeah, I just watch a summary

816
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,039
or whatever. You'll you'll be like mostly up to speed.

817
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:16,679
Maybe I'll hop in later on.

818
00:42:18,159 --> 00:42:20,199
Speaker 1: All right, man, I don't know if fires are picking up,

819
00:42:20,199 --> 00:42:22,440
but people are going crazy out there. They must be

820
00:42:22,519 --> 00:42:25,599
really excited that we just finished the super chat segment here.

821
00:42:26,159 --> 00:42:27,800
But if you have any more super chats, we will

822
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,519
get to them before the end of the show. We're

823
00:42:30,519 --> 00:42:32,159
gonna take another break that we're gonna come back. We

824
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,440
got We're doing a game ass the Sides mail bag today. Yeah,

825
00:42:35,679 --> 00:42:38,719
so well, let's hang around some more. Let's keep talking

826
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,000
about video games everybody. That's what I want to do,

827
00:42:41,159 --> 00:42:46,920
and just a little bit. All right, we're back. This

828
00:42:47,079 --> 00:42:48,960
isn't the Dog Them show, so I don't have to

829
00:42:49,039 --> 00:42:51,000
make Sean pretend to be a dog and go to

830
00:42:52,159 --> 00:42:55,159
this one. Yeah, you could just start reading the mail

831
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:56,840
back questions we got from our community.

832
00:42:57,519 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 2: Yep, that's right. Normally we do this over on intens.

833
00:43:00,519 --> 00:43:03,079
But since it's been one hell of a week, I

834
00:43:03,119 --> 00:43:05,719
thought we could all just get in a circle talk

835
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,519
things out a little bit, just have a nice chill

836
00:43:08,639 --> 00:43:11,719
mail bag over here and decides. I listened. I know

837
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,159
people want them over here. Every once in a while,

838
00:43:14,159 --> 00:43:15,880
I try to sneak them in when there you go

839
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,480
when it lost for it. So first up, Tommy pencils.

840
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,039
A few months ago, Joyz told me that the P

841
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,960
in P four stands for p eee and that's why

842
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:30,119
it's called P four golden. Is this true? I regret

843
00:43:30,199 --> 00:43:32,400
doing the mail bag. Mike, Oh, that's funny.

844
00:43:32,559 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: I get that golden because yeah, that's funny. That's a

845
00:43:38,079 --> 00:43:44,159
that's a good time. No, it doesn't say answer for persona.

846
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 2: That's an answer from slain. By the time you read this,

847
00:43:49,519 --> 00:43:51,679
it will already be the fourth of July here in Europe.

848
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,079
How are you all going to celebrate America's birthday or

849
00:43:54,159 --> 00:43:56,840
whatever the fuck you all celebrate on this day? Any

850
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,360
particular video games you associate with the fourth July?

851
00:44:00,559 --> 00:44:02,559
Speaker 1: The only game I really think of with fourth of

852
00:44:02,639 --> 00:44:06,679
July is actually Day of the Tentacle, because you know,

853
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,960
there's some time traveling stuff there so a third of

854
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,360
the game is set in colonial time, not even like

855
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,639
on the July fourth or anything like that. So I

856
00:44:15,679 --> 00:44:17,199
don't know. I always think of that as like the

857
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,599
one game that I could kind of pretend to the

858
00:44:19,639 --> 00:44:22,519
Fourth of July game. There are others. There are other

859
00:44:22,639 --> 00:44:26,559
kind of colonial games or Assassin's Creed three, There's Liberty

860
00:44:26,679 --> 00:44:31,000
or Death Right, weird stuff like that, but no, the

861
00:44:31,599 --> 00:44:33,159
only one I think about Day and Tec when I

862
00:44:33,199 --> 00:44:36,360
played through that pretty recently already, so I'm not too

863
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,400
worried about going back to it right now.

864
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 2: Okay, for me, I have a weird one. I'm a

865
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:42,519
bit of a weird one, but I have an explanation

866
00:44:42,639 --> 00:44:47,960
for it. Final Fantasy fourteen, and it's because Fourth of

867
00:44:48,079 --> 00:44:51,639
July weekend, long weekend games done quick is sometimes like

868
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:53,519
around fourth of July weekend. I think it used to

869
00:44:53,599 --> 00:44:55,639
always like be on fourth of July weekend because they

870
00:44:55,679 --> 00:44:58,320
lined up with the holiday, and that would just be

871
00:44:58,360 --> 00:44:59,719
a time for me a veg out and like get

872
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,400
caught up on stuff that I missed out on fourteen,

873
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:04,760
you know, like put GDQ on in the background. I

874
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,280
would have like an extra day off of work and

875
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,440
stuff like that. So I definitely associate fourteen with being

876
00:45:09,519 --> 00:45:12,519
like a summer game, and so just a it's a

877
00:45:12,639 --> 00:45:15,800
it's a lazy, hot day, ac ain't keeping up. I'm

878
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,400
just gonna kick back and play some fourteen.

879
00:45:17,559 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: So gosh, that sounds nice. Yeah, summer games and quick

880
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,280
starts on Sunday. I kind of like to. I would

881
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,320
like to do a little cleaning up on some games

882
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,280
I'm in the middle of and haven't finished yet, like

883
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,679
Doom the Dark Ages even avowed, so in the middle

884
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,880
of that, I think that would be nice. But yeah,

885
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:35,920
I mean, I'm just taking it easy. There's not'n't much

886
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,239
in the way of family plans. My one friend's having

887
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,639
a party, so I'll go over there and hang out

888
00:45:41,679 --> 00:45:44,400
with people. But yeah, nothing, nothing crazy, that's for sure.

889
00:45:44,559 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not the greatest time to feel patriot over here.

890
00:45:49,079 --> 00:45:54,920
So well, I'll probably just like you know, Christian and

891
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,880
I'll probably just have my usual like Fourth of July

892
00:45:57,039 --> 00:45:57,960
Bronze or something that's.

893
00:45:58,400 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like, I don't even know if I'm gonna

894
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:02,280
watch seventeen seventy six this year. I'm just not feeling

895
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:02,679
I don't know.

896
00:46:04,159 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 4: Speaking of summer, the summer games don't quick The channel

897
00:46:08,039 --> 00:46:12,119
for that is back on the Terror fe Yeah, talk

898
00:46:12,159 --> 00:46:12,480
about it.

899
00:46:13,679 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 2: The tradition, we opened that channel up what basically twice

900
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,840
a year anytimes the game's done quick for people to

901
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:19,519
talk about.

902
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 1: What's the finale this year? And I'm curious. I haven't

903
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:21,840
really looked at this.

904
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,519
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I didn't check the schedule yet, but I'm

905
00:46:26,559 --> 00:46:26,960
what's up?

906
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,159
Speaker 1: The finale is Delta Rune.

907
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 3: Too.

908
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,639
Speaker 1: It's kind of play Chapter two yet. Shit, maybe I

909
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,920
need to hurt up. And they've been doing RPGs recently

910
00:46:37,039 --> 00:46:41,199
so that that checks out. Yeah, a big one, okay, okay, Uh.

911
00:46:41,559 --> 00:46:43,880
The bonus game right before that is a Mario Kart

912
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,920
World already, so geez. Interesting. Wonder what that will look like.

913
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:49,880
Oh man, they're going to be doing a final Fantasy

914
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,239
nine run at at some point too. All right, lots

915
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:54,199
of fun stuff there. I always like games done quick

916
00:46:54,559 --> 00:46:54,880
a lot.

917
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:59,639
Speaker 2: Okay, uh? From like a Dylan Hey Merch mess or

918
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:03,159
mid For Christmas? Can we get a Turbo Shawn action

919
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,599
figure in the style of Turboman from Jingle all the way?

920
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: Look, that sounds like a pretty big ass I have

921
00:47:10,079 --> 00:47:12,360
no idea how to even start that. I have not

922
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,480
like so far I've just been selling stuff from the

923
00:47:15,519 --> 00:47:18,239
one fulfillment center that can't where is he going that?

924
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:18,519
Speaker 2: Can?

925
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:19,519
Speaker 3: You know?

926
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,679
Speaker 1: Print things I haven't like gotten bespoke merch and then

927
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:26,599
put it manually in the store from some warehouse. That's

928
00:47:26,639 --> 00:47:31,000
a whole another thing there. It's a funny joke though,

929
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:33,559
the Turrible Shaw thing. Okay, let's see he's got is

930
00:47:33,599 --> 00:47:35,800
it a turbum? You have a Oh you have a

931
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,559
terrible man. Hell yeah, Sean is holding up a terrible man.

932
00:47:40,199 --> 00:47:46,920
Look at that. That's pretty good. It's turbo time. Oh

933
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:52,039
all right, if we do if we do that, I

934
00:47:52,159 --> 00:47:57,239
have to be booster. Oh you're a booster. Absolutely. Wait

935
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:01,760
a second. People didn't like Booster. Nobody likes you Boosters.

936
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:03,559
Speaker 2: You keep talking. I gotta put this way and needs

937
00:48:03,599 --> 00:48:05,599
to be nestled safe, please under the tree.

938
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,079
Speaker 3: What do you How do you feel about it?

939
00:48:09,199 --> 00:48:12,199
Speaker 1: Mike? Oh, I think it's good. I like Christmas movies

940
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,480
a lot, and I'm a big fan of those kinds

941
00:48:14,519 --> 00:48:18,840
of Christmas movies. They're relatively cozy. It's it's kind of

942
00:48:19,039 --> 00:48:22,119
late in the what I consider the prime of Christmas

943
00:48:22,159 --> 00:48:25,039
movies for me, from like that kind of mid eighties

944
00:48:25,159 --> 00:48:27,599
to late nineties period where we would take making a

945
00:48:27,679 --> 00:48:29,280
lot of those, and a lot of them were hitting

946
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,960
like your Santa Clauses, your home alone, your Christmas vacations,

947
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,840
things like that. So, man, I wouldn't have necessarily pegged

948
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,559
you as a big jingle all the way. Uh, guy,

949
00:48:39,639 --> 00:48:41,199
seanam I think I learned something today.

950
00:48:41,599 --> 00:48:44,039
Speaker 2: Oh dude, I love that movie, which, by the way,

951
00:48:44,079 --> 00:48:46,519
that's not where Carbo Shan comes from. If anyone's wondering

952
00:48:46,559 --> 00:48:51,599
that good, Uh, it's just it's just a silly, goofy movie,

953
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,880
you know, it's Arnold being like his comedy best. I

954
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:56,360
think I love that movie.

955
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: I think it's a ton of fun. Absolutely yeah.

956
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 2: Next up here is from Michael Riley. I was on

957
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:08,519
the verge of subbing back into game Pass. When's the

958
00:49:08,559 --> 00:49:10,920
last time a corporation was so shitty that helped you

959
00:49:11,039 --> 00:49:14,639
save money? Nilss sam opting all of that subscription.

960
00:49:15,679 --> 00:49:17,679
Speaker 1: I should I didn't even think about that, And part

961
00:49:17,679 --> 00:49:19,320
of me is like, how often am I really using

962
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,360
game Pass lately? That might be a pretty good idea.

963
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:26,800
They clearly don't seem to care that much about it anymore,

964
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,480
you know. It's frankly, it's easier for me than other

965
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,239
people anyways, because I can get codes for the games

966
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:36,480
I really care about. So yeah, whatever, But yeah, it's

967
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,320
hard for me to imagine the last time something like

968
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:42,239
that happened. I mean, that Harry Potter game is something

969
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,119
I definitely would have gotten if Yeah, Jackie Rowing didn't

970
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,320
become a monster, So I guess I.

971
00:49:48,599 --> 00:49:52,119
Speaker 2: Reveal herself to be a terrible person, man exactly. But

972
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:53,639
that's the one that I was thinking of to you.

973
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:57,800
Not necessarily a company, but boy, sure have saved money

974
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,320
on a Harry Potter movies and stuff in the past

975
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:07,000
decade or so. Uh from Joys. I bet you couldn't

976
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,320
even name four hundred and four game messes.

977
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 1: Every podcast. That's pretty good. Oh that's why there was

978
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,719
that four O four Xbox joke earlier. Look at it is. Yeah,

979
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,559
that is the number. It is four O four. That's funny.

980
00:50:24,159 --> 00:50:28,239
You're not gonna find us ship. Yeah, man, we it was.

981
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,280
It hasn't been a great We weren't really able to

982
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:32,719
celebrate many milestones here. But when we get to a

983
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,119
couple of years, when it's Game of Society's five hundred,

984
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:39,039
we're gonna party like crazy. Oh you know, we'll do it. Dude,

985
00:50:39,159 --> 00:50:46,760
there I said it. Screw it, Okay, finally want I

986
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:53,719
guess we'll get the truck. I uploaded only on poorn

987
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:55,079
hub dot com.

988
00:50:58,079 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 2: From Screaming Maden here, Hey, Guitaru, Mitch and Turbo Shan Volnut.

989
00:51:04,519 --> 00:51:08,679
Oh good call. Since we are halfway through twenty twenty five,

990
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:12,320
was the most obscure twenty twenty five game y'all played

991
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:15,760
this year? Mine would be dice Ball, a dice based

992
00:51:16,079 --> 00:51:19,280
baseball roguelike where he roll dice to hopefully get good

993
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,960
roles like Homer's at bats and flyouts on defense, as

994
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,760
well as by cards at a shop in between games

995
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:29,400
to improve the run cools.

996
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:30,039
Speaker 3: Yeah.

997
00:51:30,119 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's only made by thirty people. It's this real

998
00:51:33,039 --> 00:51:37,480
hitting gym keeper France. No one knows about it. Ah,

999
00:51:38,199 --> 00:51:41,639
you did it, you did it, You did it. I

1000
00:51:41,679 --> 00:51:43,519
mean the two games that I like this year that

1001
00:51:43,519 --> 00:51:46,280
I feel like nobody really talked about a whole lot.

1002
00:51:48,199 --> 00:51:50,840
Two point Museum is like not some big hitten gym,

1003
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,159
But I think that game is really good. It's average

1004
00:51:53,159 --> 00:51:56,320
review score is like an eighty five, and again, people

1005
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:57,960
don't really talk about it very much. I think that's

1006
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,440
a bit of a shame. The other one I actually

1007
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,320
learned from Jen just from doing you know, shows with him.

1008
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:07,559
Is that Nubby's Number Factory. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,

1009
00:52:07,599 --> 00:52:11,280
the kind of like peg goal roguelike with the early

1010
00:52:11,679 --> 00:52:12,760
web aesthetic.

1011
00:52:13,039 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 2: I think that game is super fun. Yeah, I think

1012
00:52:16,559 --> 00:52:19,239
for me, I'm opening Steam here, which apparently closed at

1013
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,519
some point, just to see. But I think mine would

1014
00:52:21,519 --> 00:52:24,639
actually be or of not a game but a rom hack,

1015
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:26,880
which I'm counting because one of my favorite games of

1016
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:30,559
the year so far. But Bazar, that Mario sixty four

1017
00:52:30,639 --> 00:52:34,239
rom haack I played. That's a little bit of Bilatro,

1018
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,760
a little bit Neon White like, turns into a roguelike

1019
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:40,679
deck builder where you can own where the four main

1020
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,239
buns of the N sixty four controller B, A, Z R,

1021
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:46,840
hence the name, are then bound to actions that you

1022
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:47,400
draw up.

1023
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:49,280
Speaker 1: A Dutch and that's why it's called that.

1024
00:52:49,679 --> 00:52:51,800
Speaker 2: That's why it's called that, I guess, And it is

1025
00:52:52,519 --> 00:52:54,719
so much fun, and that's been one of my favorite

1026
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,079
games of the year, is so far probably probably my favorite,

1027
00:52:57,159 --> 00:53:02,519
right behind Expedition thirty three. So yeah, well that coo

1028
00:53:02,599 --> 00:53:06,480
cool cool uh. Uncharted Wolf is up next, Hey Wolf,

1029
00:53:07,079 --> 00:53:10,880
Hey Dog, and Turbo Dog. Do you guys think Nintendo

1030
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,920
will do anything for Mario's fortieth anniversary the same way

1031
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,639
they did for thirty fifth Galaxy on Galaxy two on Switch,

1032
00:53:18,119 --> 00:53:22,840
Mario Movie two teaser, Mario kard DLC, Mario games getting

1033
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,480
switched to updates, or anything else that could fill a

1034
00:53:25,599 --> 00:53:30,000
fortieth anniversary direct run time was the thirty fifth anniversary

1035
00:53:30,039 --> 00:53:32,280
celebrate just because it was convenient timing.

1036
00:53:33,039 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 1: I think it's always kind of convenient timing. I don't know,

1037
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,599
I guess I'm curious because thirty five doesn't even seem

1038
00:53:39,679 --> 00:53:42,599
like a real anniversary to me, right, It's just like

1039
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:46,719
whatever number forty, I guess is more real than that.

1040
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 2: It does like doing like every five though, like even

1041
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,760
when something that you wouldn't expect like thirty five. So

1042
00:53:53,119 --> 00:53:54,960
I feel like they'll do something for forty.

1043
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think there will be a good amount of

1044
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,239
things were ready anyways, but there will be some. Yeah,

1045
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,760
there will be things, whether it's small stuff like you know,

1046
00:54:03,039 --> 00:54:08,320
NSO icons or what have you. Collection is interesting though,

1047
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,480
because it's or remaster remake. I'd love to see Mario

1048
00:54:11,559 --> 00:54:15,800
Galaxy two on the Switch to finally or anyway, but

1049
00:54:16,159 --> 00:54:20,000
I don't know if that's if that's on the menu,

1050
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:23,360
even three D land or something like that. I have

1051
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:24,320
no idea I do.

1052
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,039
Speaker 2: I think Marino might have a chat just something like

1053
00:54:27,159 --> 00:54:30,280
red and Gold joy cons or something like silly, like

1054
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,880
kind of nice like that. They'll just do something small probably,

1055
00:54:33,119 --> 00:54:36,239
But then like also whatever whoever Mario announcement was going

1056
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,519
to happen anyways, like you said, it's probably what's gonna be.

1057
00:54:38,639 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, before they should just post something on the domb

1058
00:54:42,119 --> 00:54:42,880
news app, And I.

1059
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 2: Said today, Yeah, I love Nintendo today because then informs

1060
00:54:49,559 --> 00:54:51,639
Warrio sixty four. Who then I look at.

1061
00:54:52,199 --> 00:54:54,639
Speaker 1: Yes exactly right, Yes, like they made an app for

1062
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:56,480
the actual influencers and.

1063
00:54:56,679 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, for the reposters to then pass on to us.

1064
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:04,599
Low Rule says, would you all consider Resident Evil to

1065
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,119
remake a three D Metroid venue?

1066
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:11,760
Speaker 1: Oh? It has those elements for sure. I mean there

1067
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:13,480
are a lot of games that have a lot of

1068
00:55:13,599 --> 00:55:16,639
elements of quote unquote Metrovinya that I wouldn't really call that.

1069
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:19,679
Like a lot of Zelda games are very metro vanua

1070
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:20,920
esque in a ton of ways.

1071
00:55:21,039 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Zelda and Metrod have always been linked style wise,

1072
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:25,880
gameplay Wiseah.

1073
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the thing with the resumeable games, those

1074
00:55:28,079 --> 00:55:31,559
that you're not really getting new abilities that unlocking areas

1075
00:55:31,559 --> 00:55:34,079
are just getting keys. I almost fix it more like

1076
00:55:34,119 --> 00:55:36,119
a doom like or something like that.

1077
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,119
Speaker 2: Right, that's a good point. That's a good comparison. Yeah,

1078
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:42,119
and that's what Yeah, Metroid Venia is all about the

1079
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:44,440
power ups for sure. But I see what you mean

1080
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,639
about like going through the same areas over and over

1081
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,000
and like unlocking things that you now have a new

1082
00:55:51,079 --> 00:55:54,079
item for. I get where your heads at, lowerrel I see.

1083
00:55:55,159 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like this. The three D metro veins.

1084
00:55:57,159 --> 00:56:00,400
Metro Vein is always difficult because those always tend to

1085
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:02,639
be they feel like a lot of genres like the

1086
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:05,239
go tos that actually are that, right. I mean there's

1087
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:09,199
Metro the metro Primes, Arkham Asylum very much. Is that

1088
00:56:10,599 --> 00:56:13,280
chetiphone order even had a good amount of that feel

1089
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:16,159
to it. That's an interesting thing to think of. But

1090
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:18,000
we need to do a mount rushmore of three D

1091
00:56:18,159 --> 00:56:22,639
metro vanas and like exclude metro Prime from the list.

1092
00:56:23,639 --> 00:56:24,280
Speaker 2: That could be good.

1093
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:24,599
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1094
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:29,400
Speaker 2: From keywork, Hey, homies, I would like to use my

1095
00:56:29,519 --> 00:56:33,400
mailbag question as time for Mike to throw together quickly

1096
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,159
his top ten of the century since he failed to

1097
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,440
do so earlier. I personally did it, and to be different,

1098
00:56:39,519 --> 00:56:41,840
I picked my favorite game of all time for all

1099
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:45,880
the warcraft and ranked the expansions. To help Mike have

1100
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,960
a little bit more time, What are your top ten

1101
00:56:49,119 --> 00:56:52,360
games of the century, Sean, Thanks for all you guys do.

1102
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,480
Have a happy fourth and make good choices. So yes,

1103
00:56:55,519 --> 00:56:57,239
if you need to get no pad out or something,

1104
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:58,239
Michae will give you a second.

1105
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,800
Speaker 1: I'm opening up as Google sheet right now. Now there

1106
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:01,000
you go.

1107
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,039
Speaker 2: I did screenshot this so I would not forget it.

1108
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:08,000
I did a sort of half a half, I mean

1109
00:57:08,159 --> 00:57:11,000
like two thirds one third between the games I genuinely

1110
00:57:11,039 --> 00:57:13,840
think are the best from the past twenty five years,

1111
00:57:14,119 --> 00:57:17,679
and then some of my favorite some of my favorite

1112
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:22,280
genres I think the best game within that genre. So

1113
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:27,599
in no particular order, the ten I picked were Persona five,

1114
00:57:27,679 --> 00:57:31,960
Royal The Eld, The Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Assie.

1115
00:57:32,039 --> 00:57:35,519
I mentioned all those atop the show. Mario Kart eight

1116
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:38,280
because I think it's a borderline perfect video game for

1117
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:44,360
what's trying to do, Metroid Zero Mission, Metroid Prime, All

1118
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:50,639
of Duty, Modern Warfare two, Elite Beat Agents, Bayonetta two,

1119
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:54,760
and Super Smash, Beyers, Ultimate. Those are a ten that

1120
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:58,800
I picked. That's obviously a lot of Nintendo lean but

1121
00:57:59,679 --> 00:58:01,880
what it's Call of Duty, the only non Nintendo of

1122
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:02,760
Persona as well.

1123
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:08,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty good. I'm like rushing here. I think, ooh,

1124
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:10,199
I'm gonna put this one onca. It's good to piss people.

1125
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:10,960
There were so many.

1126
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 2: There's so many I wanted to pick that were like

1127
00:58:13,239 --> 00:58:15,280
like Third Strike I would love to put on there,

1128
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:17,400
but that was Arcade in ninety nine, and so like,

1129
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:23,599
I don't, you know, don't count that, Sally exactly exactly.

1130
00:58:23,639 --> 00:58:26,800
I was thinking, like, what, it's the fighting game representative,

1131
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:30,199
and yeah, I know everybody traditional fighting games, but like

1132
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,360
smashes the complete package, I could not put Ultimate on there.

1133
00:58:33,719 --> 00:58:37,519
Speaker 1: All right, here's what I put together real quick and thirty.

1134
00:58:37,679 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 2: Not necessarily legally binding, but yes.

1135
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:43,599
Speaker 3: This is legally binding. You go to jail if people

1136
00:58:43,639 --> 00:58:44,239
don't like him.

1137
00:58:45,159 --> 00:58:47,039
Speaker 1: Wow, boy is that ro Because number ten is kind

1138
00:58:47,039 --> 00:58:53,840
of Heart's two. Number nine unsureted too, Number eighty pro

1139
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:57,920
Skater three seven is Breath of the Wild, not my

1140
00:58:58,079 --> 00:59:00,320
favorite Zeta game, but in this situation, I think you

1141
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:01,760
kind of to give it the Breath of Wild over

1142
00:59:02,079 --> 00:59:05,360
Win Waker, even Uh. Number six is Resi Eval for

1143
00:59:05,679 --> 00:59:11,719
remake Ari. Number five is Super Smash Brothers Melee. This

1144
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:14,639
top four is probably pretty binding, actually, number four, Halfway two,

1145
00:59:15,159 --> 00:59:18,639
number three Metro Prime. Number two is Final Fantasy fourteen

1146
00:59:20,079 --> 00:59:22,559
Rodby Born obviously, and then number one is Super Mario Odyssey.

1147
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:24,079
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1148
00:59:24,199 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 2: I contemplated both fourteen and ARI four, Like I'm not

1149
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:31,639
even a big Ari fan, and I acknowledge how incredible

1150
00:59:31,639 --> 00:59:34,159
ARI four is, and then fourteen is a personal favorite,

1151
00:59:34,199 --> 00:59:36,440
So either of those could like swap out for a

1152
00:59:36,519 --> 00:59:37,679
lot of the games on my list.

1153
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 1: I will lose it if Halfway two is not on there,

1154
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,880
I'm gonna I'm gonna be honest, I wouldn't want.

1155
00:59:43,719 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 2: To considering the Giant Bomb audience, I would expect Half

1156
00:59:46,039 --> 00:59:46,880
Life to be I hope.

1157
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:50,119
Speaker 3: So yeah, why the remake and no original?

1158
00:59:50,519 --> 00:59:50,679
Speaker 2: Four?

1159
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 1: For like the remake more, You're probably You're probably right good,

1160
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:56,000
and I like use that with Breath of the Wild.

1161
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:59,719
The original is probably more impactful, But I really liked

1162
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:02,280
that remake a lot. Again, if I looked at this more,

1163
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:04,119
maybe I would kind of lower that because of it.

1164
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:08,639
Speaker 2: Hey, I respect the gut choice of remake though, because

1165
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:10,840
to me and like if we ever do any list

1166
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:12,880
like this, like me, you and Jeff are like over

1167
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:16,159
on GB or anything like that, I always say that

1168
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:20,960
Reverence has no place in a top whatever list. Sure,

1169
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:23,400
Like I know people feel differently about that. That's how

1170
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,599
I feel it, because if you put out like a

1171
01:00:25,679 --> 01:00:28,280
top ten list, if you go to someone who's never

1172
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:31,159
played a video game, hypothetically, hypothetically you go someone's never

1173
01:00:31,159 --> 01:00:33,320
played a video game, they say, hey, what are the

1174
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:35,719
best games? I've never really been to gaming. I just

1175
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:40,039
want to play the best. You're not gonna say Super

1176
01:00:40,119 --> 01:00:43,639
Mario Brothers one or Super Mario Brothers three most likely,

1177
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:45,840
even though those are some of the greatest games of

1178
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:49,360
all time, because that person will probably be like, but

1179
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,320
this Mario game that came on twenty seventeen, like looks incredible,

1180
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,159
and everyone says that's like one of the best ones.

1181
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,400
And so that's why it's like impacts. I don't like

1182
01:00:57,519 --> 01:00:59,320
to weigh into some of that stuff.

1183
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 1: That's why Odyssey is so easy, because it's like it's

1184
01:01:02,599 --> 01:01:05,159
like the newest and best one and also just the

1185
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:06,679
best one, like no question.

1186
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like as much as I love Mario sixty four,

1187
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,360
I speed on the damn game. I love that damn

1188
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:15,519
game honestly, just they nailed it. They absolutely nailed it.

1189
01:01:15,679 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 1: I do kind of wish I had ruined the list

1190
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:21,760
for elpehs. That was a good pick. Snake Eater and

1191
01:01:22,079 --> 01:01:25,840
uh hit Man World Assassination. I think I would like

1192
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:28,599
to see that in hades. Also, I could do really well.

1193
01:01:29,039 --> 01:01:31,840
Oh boy, I really liked those or games, but just

1194
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,119
feel a little weird about them at the moment. I

1195
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:35,960
just feel a little weird about them at the moment.

1196
01:01:36,599 --> 01:01:39,679
Speaker 2: Fair enough, good talk, Thanks for a prompt o ky

1197
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:43,679
Yorck from Ninten Derek. That was a great voicemail dump

1198
01:01:43,719 --> 01:01:48,800
truck today. It was a voicemail dumb truck. Something everyone

1199
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:51,480
should go listen to that. Uh Brian Patchwolf was on

1200
01:01:51,559 --> 01:01:54,440
and it was a really fun time for Mike. How

1201
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,480
does it feel knowing Dan is just clearly the weird one?

1202
01:01:58,239 --> 01:02:00,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was fun because I was I

1203
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:04,519
was getting targeted pretty early on because of my desk situation,

1204
01:02:05,239 --> 01:02:07,159
and I was like, oh no, I'm gonna be the

1205
01:02:07,239 --> 01:02:09,119
weird one today. And then Dan really came to the

1206
01:02:09,199 --> 01:02:12,079
rescue on that one. Really really helped me out of

1207
01:02:12,119 --> 01:02:12,719
a jam. There.

1208
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can tell that the swerve happened because you know,

1209
01:02:16,159 --> 01:02:18,519
I'm watching this and I'm like, you know, I'm I'm

1210
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:22,280
planning out social content for next week, and I'm like, oh, well,

1211
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:24,639
the TikTok is clearly our one making fun of Mike

1212
01:02:24,719 --> 01:02:27,639
for his desk because that was really weird. And then

1213
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:31,360
we have Dan's international incident one. I'm like, well, I

1214
01:02:32,199 --> 01:02:34,760
gotta pivot the strategy a little bit from one day

1215
01:02:35,519 --> 01:02:41,360
English input name here, top ten games of the century.

1216
01:02:41,639 --> 01:02:43,280
Just do it, bro do it right now. You can

1217
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:45,960
fix this later, right now first, and I come to mind,

1218
01:02:46,199 --> 01:02:48,320
then post as the game mess list and never break

1219
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:49,320
it up again. Well, there you go.

1220
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 1: That'd be funny. I think I don't I think I'm

1221
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:55,039
getting access to the CMS. I think we just realized

1222
01:02:55,039 --> 01:02:57,239
I don't have that, So yeah, then I'll just I'll

1223
01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:58,880
just post it myself to.

1224
01:02:58,920 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 2: The Giant Bomb CMS.

1225
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:02,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying one thing. I had to kind of

1226
01:03:02,599 --> 01:03:05,119
think of it maybe again, because it's weird to think

1227
01:03:05,119 --> 01:03:07,119
of PS one games for this, and yet you know,

1228
01:03:07,199 --> 01:03:11,639
there are right, I couldn't even do focussing nine was

1229
01:03:11,679 --> 01:03:12,679
two thousand, right.

1230
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 2: When did pro Skater two come on? Was that ninety

1231
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:16,079
nine might have been.

1232
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 1: Well, wait a second, now, when did the century begin

1233
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:20,039
in two thousand or two thousand and one?

1234
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:23,159
Speaker 3: Oh shit, this is a fucking side field laughs, fucking

1235
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:26,840
question right there, right right, because.

1236
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:29,840
Speaker 2: Pro skater two either way, By the way, either way,

1237
01:03:30,079 --> 01:03:32,679
pro Skater two was two thousand, so that easily could

1238
01:03:32,679 --> 01:03:33,599
have gone my list as well.

1239
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,519
Speaker 1: But yes, I'm a three, I'm a three guy, but yeah,

1240
01:03:37,559 --> 01:03:39,239
two's also fantastic.

1241
01:03:39,719 --> 01:03:46,599
Speaker 2: Yeah. From Mike Manati's Rainforest Cafe jo I, I'm gonna

1242
01:03:46,599 --> 01:03:53,320
say it right Aja's answer Jerikoff instructions, I don't really

1243
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:56,320
have a question today, but here's me hitting you with

1244
01:03:56,519 --> 01:03:58,760
the I fucking love you guys in the same way

1245
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:00,679
that your friends say that to you a bar after

1246
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:05,000
like you know, six to twelve beers. Also that since

1247
01:04:05,039 --> 01:04:07,480
that great a fuddy duddy isn't here, I hope Sean

1248
01:04:07,599 --> 01:04:11,039
says my pen name properly. Don't worry, I got you, homie. No,

1249
01:04:11,719 --> 01:04:12,159
there you go.

1250
01:04:12,559 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 1: Look, I'm glad that you did say it in front

1251
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:16,199
of me.

1252
01:04:17,639 --> 01:04:19,719
Speaker 2: That would have been weird. If I do it, you know,

1253
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,119
it's content. If your brother does it, that's that's just

1254
01:04:22,199 --> 01:04:22,639
a weird thing.

1255
01:04:22,679 --> 01:04:25,159
Speaker 1: At the next station whimsical when you do it John.

1256
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:30,119
Speaker 2: They also a follow up quick follow up also Sean,

1257
01:04:30,199 --> 01:04:32,920
how's life with your fifty seventy ben which, yes, in

1258
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:35,800
case anyone didn't hear, that's a graphics card I managed

1259
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:37,960
to get, not the one I wanted, but the one

1260
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:39,639
I could sett along because it's the only one I

1261
01:04:39,639 --> 01:04:43,400
could get for MSRP and not like three hundred dollars

1262
01:04:43,519 --> 01:04:44,400
over MSRP.

1263
01:04:45,719 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 3: He has one of the strongest fighting graphics cards out there.

1264
01:04:49,079 --> 01:04:50,719
Come on, he's doing fine.

1265
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:51,079
Speaker 1: People.

1266
01:04:52,119 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you no, No, it's a really good card

1267
01:04:54,079 --> 01:04:58,480
and I am really happy with it. Yeah, I don't

1268
01:04:58,519 --> 01:05:01,360
really know say about because like we have reached the point.

1269
01:05:02,119 --> 01:05:04,119
I'm not doing anything too crazy. I'm not trying to

1270
01:05:04,159 --> 01:05:06,599
push like four K or like super high frame rates,

1271
01:05:06,599 --> 01:05:09,079
super high fidelity or anything like that. For me, it

1272
01:05:09,239 --> 01:05:12,159
was more of a work thing. The thirty sixty t

1273
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:15,199
I actually wasn't holding up in some work applications, so

1274
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:17,239
I did need to upgrade a little bit, And the

1275
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:20,119
fifty seventy isn't quite the jump I would have liked

1276
01:05:20,119 --> 01:05:23,320
to make because of the v RAM situation. Specifically, I

1277
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:26,400
will have appreciated the sixteen gigs, but at least for

1278
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:29,360
gaming and everything, and for the vast majority of work stuff.

1279
01:05:29,559 --> 01:05:32,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, that and of course are pretty good for Yeah

1280
01:05:33,079 --> 01:05:33,840
yeah for work.

1281
01:05:34,199 --> 01:05:39,320
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I'm no'm I'm really enjoying it. I hated

1282
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:41,880
having to pay five hundred and fifty dollars for like

1283
01:05:42,079 --> 01:05:44,639
the mid range graphics card nowadays.

1284
01:05:44,239 --> 01:05:45,639
Speaker 1: But it's just where we're at.

1285
01:05:46,079 --> 01:05:51,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's weird, right, Okay. Next up here is Broken

1286
01:05:51,199 --> 01:05:53,719
ninety five. I'm curious to know if Mike knows the

1287
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:57,079
total number of times he's been to Disney World's slash

1288
01:05:57,239 --> 01:05:58,719
Land both in his life.

1289
01:05:59,239 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 1: No, part of me like, I don't know if I

1290
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:03,360
can't figure it out. But people ask me this a lot.

1291
01:06:04,559 --> 01:06:07,599
I really don't know what the answer would be, right, Like,

1292
01:06:08,039 --> 01:06:10,679
it's I'm sure it's fifty at least I suppose, but

1293
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:13,000
I really have no idea what that total number is.

1294
01:06:13,119 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 3: Like I thought you you were going to say, like

1295
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:17,360
in the hundreds, and I was like I was ready

1296
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:20,679
for like some degenerate number, but that fifties, Okay.

1297
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:23,639
Speaker 1: I think I think people would expect me to say

1298
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,000
in the hundreds and something that's not really like that. No.

1299
01:06:26,719 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's like, you know, once or twice a

1300
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:31,880
year for most of your life done basically because you.

1301
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:33,039
Speaker 1: Know what there happened, you know, But when I was

1302
01:06:33,039 --> 01:06:34,639
a kid, it was it was once a year. It

1303
01:06:34,719 --> 01:06:36,920
was not like we were going for multiple vacations a

1304
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:38,280
year exactly or anything.

1305
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:40,679
Speaker 2: It was just like, yeah, your vacation, you happen to

1306
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:42,840
be going Disney. Okay, what's bump the numbers?

1307
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,199
Speaker 1: Is like when I started just kind of sneaking off

1308
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:48,719
to Disneyland while I was in La a bunch ah,

1309
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:51,119
that's what kind of boosted the numbers up.

1310
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 2: Gotcha? Gotcha? Okay, let's see. Next is from Always Be Clothing?

1311
01:06:57,320 --> 01:07:01,000
What are y'all most hoping to see at EVO? New characters,

1312
01:07:01,239 --> 01:07:03,239
new games, new costumes.

1313
01:07:05,199 --> 01:07:09,559
Speaker 3: We will see because my most hoping.

1314
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:13,519
Speaker 2: To see Always be Clothing? At Evil I get to

1315
01:07:13,559 --> 01:07:13,880
meet him.

1316
01:07:14,719 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 1: Well, we already know what the Street Fighter characters are.

1317
01:07:19,079 --> 01:07:21,159
Maybe tech and will do right by us and give

1318
01:07:21,239 --> 01:07:25,320
us TIFA. Finally, Oh what, let me see?

1319
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 2: Way we know the theme of the next character. Okay,

1320
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:31,280
so the next Teching character is the new character, the

1321
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:37,159
new Teching character in universe? New character.

1322
01:07:37,719 --> 01:07:40,199
Speaker 1: Interesting? Okay, so we'll guess we have no idea what

1323
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:40,960
that could be like.

1324
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:43,440
Speaker 2: That's probably gonna be talking.

1325
01:07:43,559 --> 01:07:45,800
Speaker 3: Probably I want to see that. They're probably gonna show

1326
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:50,280
maybe it is maybe maybe it's like playable.

1327
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 2: Then maybe the way yeah, Rick, the guy who runs that,

1328
01:07:55,519 --> 01:07:57,320
was sort of doing the rounds a bunch of like

1329
01:07:57,679 --> 01:07:59,800
content career streams and stuff like that when it's talking.

1330
01:08:00,599 --> 01:08:04,639
He was like poly like, you know, the announcement just happened,

1331
01:08:04,679 --> 01:08:07,199
and we're like trying to figure out and we could

1332
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:09,920
maybe do something like that, And the way he was

1333
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:13,119
talking abou about him like, I feel like they're trying

1334
01:08:13,239 --> 01:08:17,279
to get like like PlayStation might be trying to scramble

1335
01:08:17,359 --> 01:08:19,319
to get like a booth together or something like that,

1336
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:22,039
because like if they have a build ready to go,

1337
01:08:22,239 --> 01:08:24,039
then they could like put together the booth and have

1338
01:08:24,159 --> 01:08:26,960
it playable. Because EVO, like, Mike, have you ever been

1339
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:27,640
to EVA at all?

1340
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:27,840
Speaker 3: No?

1341
01:08:28,159 --> 01:08:28,520
Speaker 1: Not at all?

1342
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 2: Okay, it's slowly turning into like a like an E

1343
01:08:32,079 --> 01:08:35,640
three situation where there are like big themed booths that

1344
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:38,399
you can like go and play like Capcom stuff, Bandy

1345
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:40,680
Namco stuff s and k stuff.

1346
01:08:41,239 --> 01:08:46,840
Speaker 1: PlayStation's publishing token, right, and they EVO, there's.

1347
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:50,840
Speaker 2: Gotta be something exactly, So I'm I'm like minimum, we're

1348
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:53,039
getting a trailer there, but it would be interesting to

1349
01:08:53,039 --> 01:08:54,720
see if they even have like a small booth.

1350
01:08:55,159 --> 01:08:57,039
Speaker 1: I want to see Cyclops in that game for Jan.

1351
01:08:57,279 --> 01:08:58,720
I think Jan needs that.

1352
01:09:00,319 --> 01:09:02,640
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if they have some cool like, yeah,

1353
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:06,039
like knowing the design of that game, like some like

1354
01:09:06,199 --> 01:09:08,600
jacket with a big collar, Cyclops or something like that

1355
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:09,479
that looks really.

1356
01:09:09,319 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 1: Sure of course, yeah, yeah, yeah, but yeah, I mean,

1357
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:15,079
I don't think I'm not expecting anything crazy to be announced.

1358
01:09:15,079 --> 01:09:16,880
It's gonna I think it seems like all the big

1359
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,000
people are kind of spooking for with what they are

1360
01:09:19,159 --> 01:09:22,520
working on right now, right, I mean Capcom. I mean

1361
01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:25,960
I would love it if Capcom finally announced some other

1362
01:09:26,199 --> 01:09:28,479
fighting game aside from Street Fighter. If they gave us

1363
01:09:29,119 --> 01:09:32,159
I don't expect the Marvels Capcom anymore, sadly, but give

1364
01:09:32,239 --> 01:09:34,760
us a Dark Stalkers, give us a Rival Schools.

1365
01:09:34,359 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, Probs three, something like that.

1366
01:09:37,279 --> 01:09:40,119
Speaker 1: I would still pop pretty hard for CVS three. Yeah,

1367
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:43,600
although you know that's all weird because we're just getting

1368
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:46,920
guest characters in these in both of their games now, really, I.

1369
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:48,159
Speaker 3: Don't I don't even want to say it.

1370
01:09:48,279 --> 01:09:51,760
Speaker 4: Out loud because it's just they break my heart every

1371
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:54,600
single time this the scene is know what it used

1372
01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:56,439
to be back in the day, we could expect some

1373
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:59,199
trailers and some stuff in tournaments, and they don't see

1374
01:09:59,239 --> 01:10:02,920
that that's an importunity anymore to show this stuff. So

1375
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:05,560
that's why I'm kind of whenever somebody asks that, I

1376
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:08,239
kind of get deflated because I remember the old days

1377
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:12,239
we got like character revealed, really hype, character revealed at

1378
01:10:12,319 --> 01:10:14,800
the end of the before Grand Finals and that kind

1379
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:15,159
of stuff.

1380
01:10:15,239 --> 01:10:17,279
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's what I feel.

1381
01:10:17,399 --> 01:10:22,359
Speaker 2: We'll see, We'll see what happens. JD. Camp There is

1382
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:26,720
a Handles in the Portland area. Turns out Ohio can

1383
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:30,640
make good things. No animal cracker flavor when I.

1384
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:34,800
Speaker 1: Went though, okay, hopefully soon. Then that probably is Ohio's

1385
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:38,159
greatest export is handles ice cream. Maybe that's some of

1386
01:10:38,199 --> 01:10:40,079
those people who went the space that came from here.

1387
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:45,720
Speaker 2: Uh from Laser Wolf. When you choose your Pokemon starter,

1388
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:47,840
is it based on type or just who you like

1389
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,560
for that gen? I always choose the Grass starter.

1390
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:54,119
Speaker 1: Oh, it's always just whichever one I think looks the coolest.

1391
01:10:54,159 --> 01:10:56,239
I mean, you can always make, you can make whoever

1392
01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:59,199
work in Pokemon for for the most part, or I'm not.

1393
01:10:59,319 --> 01:11:02,439
I'm never too attached to a specific type or anything

1394
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:03,159
like that. Either.

1395
01:11:04,319 --> 01:11:07,119
Speaker 2: I'm a water Pokemon person if you can tell from

1396
01:11:07,199 --> 01:11:09,960
the gren Ninja play met and the nessa poster behind

1397
01:11:10,039 --> 01:11:14,720
me big into water Pokemon. The one the straw that

1398
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:18,840
broke the Camel's back though, was fucking sobble and sword

1399
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:22,119
and shield. That dude looks stupid, and Teleon looks even

1400
01:11:22,239 --> 01:11:26,159
more stupid. So I went with score Bunny that generation,

1401
01:11:26,319 --> 01:11:29,239
which since the streak was broken, I then went with

1402
01:11:29,279 --> 01:11:31,560
Sprigotito and Scartan Boy it's adorable.

1403
01:11:32,079 --> 01:11:33,560
Speaker 1: I did go as score Bunny there. I did think

1404
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:37,279
Water has had in most the most winners over the years.

1405
01:11:37,319 --> 01:11:40,399
For me, I really like pin Plup a lot. I

1406
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:41,880
think talk Yeah.

1407
01:11:43,279 --> 01:11:45,279
Speaker 2: My favorite Pokemon. I love that look because penguins are

1408
01:11:45,359 --> 01:11:48,720
my favorite puff folk. Penguins are my favorite Pokemon. Penguins

1409
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:51,039
are my favorite animal. So I love well.

1410
01:11:51,119 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 1: I got great news for you. Have you heard about

1411
01:11:53,039 --> 01:11:58,319
my son? Doesn't matter, he just got to do pictures.

1412
01:11:58,359 --> 01:12:00,600
He's he's growing, He's like he's coming, this trapping young

1413
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:02,920
penguin there. So very proud of Kilkoto.

1414
01:12:05,119 --> 01:12:10,640
Speaker 2: Uh Big Fresh thirty six. I don't know, man, I

1415
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:12,239
get it. I get that. I feel that.

1416
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:15,720
Speaker 1: Weren't they Big Fresh thirty seven before? Am I crazy?

1417
01:12:16,199 --> 01:12:17,920
Were they were they?

1418
01:12:18,199 --> 01:12:18,359
Speaker 3: Wait?

1419
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:19,640
Speaker 1: Wait? Weren't they?

1420
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:21,560
Speaker 2: Wait? Was thirty seven?

1421
01:12:22,199 --> 01:12:25,520
Speaker 1: Wait? Is this some big press?

1422
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:26,840
Speaker 2: We're going backwards?

1423
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:30,319
Speaker 1: Hang on, what's happening? What's happening? I could have sworn

1424
01:12:30,399 --> 01:12:33,720
that was Big Big Fresh thirty seven? Sounds right, right,

1425
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:35,279
that sounds right.

1426
01:12:35,359 --> 01:12:37,119
Speaker 2: Yes, I didn't question until you said it.

1427
01:12:37,159 --> 01:12:40,079
Speaker 3: That sounds right birth same bird type ship. What's going on?

1428
01:12:40,359 --> 01:12:43,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, Benjamin Bun type motherfucker like.

1429
01:12:44,239 --> 01:12:47,479
Speaker 1: Counting down like Claire im Scars and Big Fresh. You

1430
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:49,359
gotta let me know what's going on. I'm worried.

1431
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:54,520
Speaker 2: Frost thirty seven got homage and now we're fresh.

1432
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 1: I'm scared. I don't like this.

1433
01:12:57,680 --> 01:12:58,439
Speaker 2: What is going on?

1434
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:03,039
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I'm worry now, okay okay.

1435
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:08,319
Speaker 2: Inufe says, why would anyone continue to invest in the

1436
01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:12,520
Xbox ecosystem after this week's blood bath? Clear they only

1437
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:14,920
want to focus on the biggest of the big and

1438
01:13:15,039 --> 01:13:19,319
cut everyone else and make make co pilot make games.

1439
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:19,920
Speaker 1: Uh.

1440
01:13:20,119 --> 01:13:23,199
Speaker 2: They have never really recovered from the Xbox One fiasco

1441
01:13:23,319 --> 01:13:25,159
and it shows I agree with that last part there

1442
01:13:25,199 --> 01:13:25,560
for sure.

1443
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:29,600
Speaker 1: I mean, if you bought an Xbox Series X or

1444
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:31,960
even an S and that's no cheap thing, I can't

1445
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:35,640
blame you for still, you know, investing in the platform

1446
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:39,239
that you already invested in in some degree. Again, like

1447
01:13:39,359 --> 01:13:42,560
where I get confused and where I get skeptical is

1448
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:44,760
what what the heck is the pitch for that next

1449
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:47,319
console and how are you bringing in people with that?

1450
01:13:48,199 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean if Sarah Bond saying it's like the

1451
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:52,600
biggest generationally, that's where I do think that, like the

1452
01:13:53,279 --> 01:13:56,720
licensing hardware thing is gonna happen, and we do see

1453
01:13:56,760 --> 01:14:01,520
the next console be like a BPSPC that's like twelve

1454
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:05,880
hundred dollars, and then the handheld becomes their serious as style,

1455
01:14:06,199 --> 01:14:10,479
you know, smaller model type thing. As far as like

1456
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:13,439
why would you continue to invest in Xbox at all?

1457
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:17,520
In their ecosystem? What I'll say on that is I

1458
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:20,880
was thinking about this a bit, and what I'll I

1459
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:22,720
always try to tell people this when they have a

1460
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:25,680
situation like this, and it's not saying people want to

1461
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:28,159
hear and I get it because it's not an ideal

1462
01:14:28,319 --> 01:14:33,399
thing too here, but the box still works. Your purchases

1463
01:14:33,399 --> 01:14:36,680
are still there for their foreseeable future. At least your

1464
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:38,880
games are still there even if you bought them digitally.

1465
01:14:40,039 --> 01:14:43,319
And if you want to jump ship somewhere else, that's

1466
01:14:43,399 --> 01:14:45,560
a decision you can make. If you want to be

1467
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:49,359
a more conscious consumer on the current platform, that's a

1468
01:14:49,399 --> 01:14:54,680
good option as well. Sometimes these situations are rough and

1469
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:59,319
sometimes to be blunt, Yeah, like a corporation screws you

1470
01:14:59,399 --> 01:15:03,399
over and it turns out that like your investment didn't

1471
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:05,319
mean nearly as much the them as it means to you,

1472
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:07,279
and so you had to make a tough decision, and

1473
01:15:07,359 --> 01:15:09,920
that sucks. I know it sucks, you know, take it

1474
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:12,960
from like. That's that's why PC gamers love Steam so much,

1475
01:15:13,079 --> 01:15:16,720
is because Steam seems unshakable, but we are skeptical of

1476
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:19,000
other launchers because some of us have even put money

1477
01:15:19,079 --> 01:15:21,359
into their storefronts that kind of just like disappears and

1478
01:15:21,439 --> 01:15:24,399
puffed the smoke. At least with the console, as long

1479
01:15:24,399 --> 01:15:26,560
as the console works, your stuff will still be there.

1480
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:30,760
I don't I don't see Microsoft shutting servers down or anything.

1481
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:33,960
So like, your purchasers are safe and it's just up

1482
01:15:34,039 --> 01:15:35,000
to you to decide what.

1483
01:15:35,079 --> 01:15:37,119
Speaker 1: To do next, man, I wanted to play Star Wars

1484
01:15:37,199 --> 01:15:40,079
Battlefront too recently, and I want to play it in PC,

1485
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:43,640
and I realized, oh shit, I owned that on Origin.

1486
01:15:44,159 --> 01:15:46,800
So I literally just like watch listed on Steam, wait

1487
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:48,840
for a really cheap sale, and it happened, and I

1488
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:51,000
just picked it up there for like, you know, five

1489
01:15:51,119 --> 01:15:52,199
or nine bucks or something.

1490
01:15:52,399 --> 01:15:55,119
Speaker 2: Does it even launch through Steam? Because some of those

1491
01:15:55,159 --> 01:15:56,840
like just open Origin.

1492
01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:00,479
Speaker 4: To say like, yeah, you did that, smart, smart boy.

1493
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:02,359
And then when you lunch the game, he opened up

1494
01:16:02,399 --> 01:16:03,960
with a play what the fuck?

1495
01:16:04,159 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 1: It's like, I guess, uh, there goes five bucks?

1496
01:16:11,039 --> 01:16:14,600
Speaker 2: Okay, moving on a little bit more like hardly perhaps

1497
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:19,000
Breezy Caesar says hand Mike Drest as Rascal on the regular.

1498
01:16:20,199 --> 01:16:24,760
Speaker 1: No, no, uh it's not. It's not as bad a

1499
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:28,000
costume with some, but the wigs suck. The wigs are

1500
01:16:28,079 --> 01:16:30,600
so itchy like that, like the little part of it,

1501
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:32,840
the system, your scalp is itchy than all little hair

1502
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:36,359
fibers getting into your eyes and your eyebrowns and your forehead.

1503
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:41,439
That's itchy. Uh again, I've had worse for sure. And

1504
01:16:41,560 --> 01:16:44,399
then the sunglasses to everything was just really dark. So no,

1505
01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:45,640
I'm not gonna chreus U.

1506
01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:50,880
Speaker 3: He sounds to me like Mike Manatti doesn't like he's viewers.

1507
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:55,479
He's he's not committed. He's not committed to the content.

1508
01:16:56,199 --> 01:16:57,960
That's what I'm a hate field person.

1509
01:16:57,920 --> 01:16:58,479
Speaker 1: That's for sure.

1510
01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:03,239
Speaker 2: That's always say about him. Uh from B I've been

1511
01:17:03,279 --> 01:17:05,560
finishing up the last few Final Fantasy games on my

1512
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:10,439
switch to and recently finished FF three, five, eight, and

1513
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:14,000
now ten. I absolutely loved f F eight top three

1514
01:17:14,159 --> 01:17:16,840
for me, but I'm not really into FF ten at all.

1515
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:19,520
Nothing about the games hanging for me. Give us a

1516
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:24,000
final Fantasy hot take, and yeah, do you have one, Mike?

1517
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:27,439
Speaker 1: Mine has always been four. I think four is z okay,

1518
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:30,680
and for a lot of people, four is as precious

1519
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:34,079
as a six is. And I mean I don't think

1520
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:36,079
I don't think it's definitely a bad game or anything

1521
01:17:36,119 --> 01:17:37,840
like that. But I played through four a couple of

1522
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:40,159
times now, and I enjoy myself while I'm doing it,

1523
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:43,479
and then very little about that experience really sticks with

1524
01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:46,800
me in any meaningful way, whereas like five, even five,

1525
01:17:47,039 --> 01:17:49,920
and six, love love love those. I think four is

1526
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:51,800
easily the weakest of the sixteen bit ones.

1527
01:17:54,159 --> 01:17:57,560
Speaker 2: I guess, like my list of favorite Final fantasies, like

1528
01:17:57,760 --> 01:17:59,600
is maybe what you're thinking about here. I don't really

1529
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:01,520
have a hot take in terms of like the quality.

1530
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:04,399
I tend to aligne with like because you know, I

1531
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:07,600
appreciate games that maybe aren't the greatest. So like my

1532
01:18:08,239 --> 01:18:10,680
my favorite finl fancy games, My favorite final Fantasy is

1533
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:14,760
f fcent remake, like the first one to remake after that,

1534
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:19,279
like something more traditional is actually f F fifteen, which

1535
01:18:19,359 --> 01:18:22,479
is now what people would expect either. But again, like

1536
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:25,840
I said, I like action RPGs, and then after that,

1537
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:28,680
it's like, well my favorite like the more traditional ones

1538
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:30,800
that people are getting into, because even like after that,

1539
01:18:31,039 --> 01:18:34,319
it's fourteen, Like after that, if we go further, it's

1540
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:37,279
it's seven. And seven is the first one where some

1541
01:18:37,399 --> 01:18:39,960
people will be like, okay, Seven's like the answer I

1542
01:18:40,119 --> 01:18:42,359
was looking for there of like you know, the ones

1543
01:18:42,359 --> 01:18:45,479
from like thirteen and earlier. But yeah, I actually do

1544
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:48,239
like a lot a lot of the modern FF stuff.

1545
01:18:48,279 --> 01:18:49,000
As it turns out.

1546
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:52,039
Speaker 1: Maybe my other slightly hot take is that I think

1547
01:18:52,079 --> 01:18:54,359
Foul Fantasy two is a bit better than people make

1548
01:18:54,399 --> 01:18:56,680
it out to be. Some people act like it's easily

1549
01:18:56,840 --> 01:19:01,239
the worst one. It's definitely like it's definitely, but I

1550
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:02,119
know I.

1551
01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:04,800
Speaker 3: Really played that one. It's not it's not too too

1552
01:19:05,159 --> 01:19:08,319
hard to get in, So it's a little because it has.

1553
01:19:09,239 --> 01:19:11,479
Speaker 2: It has a bit of a whack battle system, because

1554
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:13,319
that's the one where like, the more you use something,

1555
01:19:13,399 --> 01:19:15,680
the stronger it gets. And so I think people can't

1556
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:18,720
overlook the fact that the like empirical best thing to

1557
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:22,079
do is to attack your own party members right away.

1558
01:19:22,159 --> 01:19:23,800
Speaker 1: But I mean, you know, that's just a different kind

1559
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:26,760
of grinding, is all it is. Uh, there's other weird

1560
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:28,800
things about the game for sure, has some good stuff though,

1561
01:19:29,039 --> 01:19:32,239
Uh Pandemodium, It's final dungeon actually kind of rips, and

1562
01:19:32,319 --> 01:19:35,680
the song's awesome. But if you like old jerpyges, I

1563
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:37,960
still think it's worth playing through the Picksfordy Master version

1564
01:19:38,159 --> 01:19:41,800
of that game. It's interesting. Yeah. Uh.

1565
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:45,319
Speaker 2: From Chuck Towski, shit Forever or bar forever.

1566
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean, shitting can feel good. Barfing never feels good

1567
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:55,680
unless it's like a big relief because you're that sick sometimes.

1568
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:58,079
Speaker 3: But even then, like that, that's always not a good feeling,

1569
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:02,720
shouldn't you You don't taste the thing you you taste

1570
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:03,399
the things true.

1571
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:06,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's I definitely would rather be shitting

1572
01:20:06,199 --> 01:20:09,199
all the time than we're gonna smell bad. So like

1573
01:20:09,239 --> 01:20:10,680
the whole that's like the word. That's the one bad

1574
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,239
thing about the ship is that stinks so but so

1575
01:20:13,399 --> 01:20:16,680
does puke. So whatever, you can wear a diaper one thing,

1576
01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:20,119
huh yeah yeah, I mean, look, you're you're not going

1577
01:20:20,199 --> 01:20:23,159
to be able to live a normal life in society

1578
01:20:23,199 --> 01:20:26,159
either way. It's a big problem. But I'll still take

1579
01:20:26,199 --> 01:20:26,720
the same thing.

1580
01:20:27,359 --> 01:20:30,800
Speaker 2: I mean, think about how you know me, ninety percent

1581
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:33,279
of what our relationship is. I could do for the toilet.

1582
01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:35,760
I can't do that for a bar fan, can That's true?

1583
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:38,960
Speaker 1: Also, like maybe you can get like a like a

1584
01:20:39,119 --> 01:20:42,560
job just kind of like laying down manure for farmers. Yeah,

1585
01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:49,760
just walk in walking down the lines, right. For ship,

1586
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:51,960
there's no use for puke, that's true.

1587
01:20:52,039 --> 01:20:53,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can put you like in that car, and

1588
01:20:54,119 --> 01:20:54,479
you should.

1589
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:58,760
Speaker 1: They should. You're laying ship right, Yeah, just like I

1590
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:01,159
will a wheelchair with the whole cutout of it and

1591
01:21:01,319 --> 01:21:02,920
just go up and down the field.

1592
01:21:03,279 --> 01:21:03,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1593
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:08,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my, see the ship thing is way better

1594
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:09,399
than the fud it.

1595
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:12,000
Speaker 3: It's even good for the environment and everything.

1596
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:20,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, or heroes actually, thanks Chuck, from Prickley Pete. After

1597
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:22,960
watching Mike play Second Row, I got the itch to

1598
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:25,039
start and play through my fourth run of the game.

1599
01:21:25,079 --> 01:21:28,720
Wow this time though, and this time through made him

1600
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:32,279
my most replayed game, alongside Armor Core six, not counting

1601
01:21:32,439 --> 01:21:35,800
single sitting games like Star Fox sixty four. What games

1602
01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:37,560
have you guys played through the most and how many

1603
01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:40,720
times have you gone back to it? Oh, play a

1604
01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:42,920
lot of games, So this is I would have to

1605
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:43,960
think about this a second.

1606
01:21:44,439 --> 01:21:46,720
Speaker 1: I've got a few, definitely. They're usually order ones like

1607
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:49,239
the Mega Man's a bunch of them. I played multiple times.

1608
01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:52,920
Mag Me three I've probably played through fifty times by now,

1609
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:55,960
because like it got to a point where I was

1610
01:21:56,039 --> 01:21:57,600
just playing that game through a sitting, like I had

1611
01:21:57,640 --> 01:21:59,800
an hour and I was like hours, probably pushing it

1612
01:22:00,079 --> 01:22:01,520
like a speed rent time, but you know, like a

1613
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:04,199
few hours, I could play through Mega Man three. If

1614
01:22:04,239 --> 01:22:07,000
I wanted to Super Metro, I've played quite a bit.

1615
01:22:07,159 --> 01:22:10,039
I'm sure I've been that at least eight times by now.

1616
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:12,399
Even some of the adventure games I really like, like

1617
01:22:12,479 --> 01:22:15,279
grimfin Dango, I've probably done six or seven times. And

1618
01:22:15,359 --> 01:22:17,119
that's a game that doesn't seem like it has a

1619
01:22:17,159 --> 01:22:19,880
lot of replay value. Yet I love going back to

1620
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:22,560
it and just kind of exploring that world and just

1621
01:22:22,600 --> 01:22:25,079
getting engross in the story and the environments.

1622
01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:27,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, some of my favorite games are a bit shorter,

1623
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:30,159
so they turn into single sitting games. Like for me,

1624
01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:33,000
Metroid zero Mission is a single sitting game because I

1625
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:35,520
finished in less than two hours. So I probably played

1626
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:38,359
that like probably over fifty times at this point in

1627
01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:40,279
my life. I do like at least one a year.

1628
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:42,399
For a while there, I was even like trying to

1629
01:22:42,479 --> 01:22:46,520
speed her on it. Sorry, go ahead, Sean, I was

1630
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:49,239
just going to say that my favorite game, Megan Man

1631
01:22:49,359 --> 01:22:52,319
Legends probably my most replayed overall, with like, you know,

1632
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:54,680
the first song, that's more in the like ten plus

1633
01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:55,319
hour range.

1634
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 1: How many times you think you've played that m Brown.

1635
01:23:00,079 --> 01:23:02,000
Speaker 2: All the way through? Around a dozen? Probably.

1636
01:23:03,239 --> 01:23:05,319
Speaker 1: I'm not usually a person who like plays the game

1637
01:23:05,319 --> 01:23:08,000
immediately after beating it, but I did do that with

1638
01:23:08,119 --> 01:23:10,840
metroy dread Like, I beat it all the difficulties in

1639
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:12,640
the lower time to get all those backgrounds. So I

1640
01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:15,479
played through that like five or six times, just right

1641
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:17,239
when it came out, and the same the go Fresy

1642
01:23:17,319 --> 01:23:19,680
before remake, because you kind of slowly work your way

1643
01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:23,319
up to beating getting an S plus raking on that

1644
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:26,039
hardest difficulty where you can only save a couple of

1645
01:23:26,319 --> 01:23:29,159
so many times whatever. That one I played through like

1646
01:23:29,279 --> 01:23:31,800
four or five times, just like right away. You know,

1647
01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:33,680
each time it gets pretty quick because you're not watching

1648
01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:35,760
the cuttings anymore. You know what to do. So like

1649
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:37,960
that first play through is like, you know, twelve hours

1650
01:23:38,039 --> 01:23:39,680
or whatever, and then by the end you're getting through

1651
01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:41,800
it in three or four. Great stuff.

1652
01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:47,079
Speaker 2: From Alimerrickle. How Irish are you today? Apparently not at

1653
01:23:47,119 --> 01:23:49,239
all according to the Irish experts.

1654
01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:51,560
Speaker 1: Well, I'm definitely not at all. I got nothing.

1655
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:55,880
Speaker 3: I'm Argentina, so am I kind of Irish? Like look,

1656
01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:59,800
big Christian families, the drink a lot of light to fight,

1657
01:24:00,039 --> 01:24:02,640
and my grandpa hates the British, so it's pretty much.

1658
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:07,279
Speaker 1: Uh, how do you feel about potatoes without potatoes? We

1659
01:24:07,399 --> 01:24:13,720
have Irish In fact, I think potatoes actually probably originated

1660
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:17,279
more near you than from Ireland, so we were connected.

1661
01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:17,760
Speaker 3: You know.

1662
01:24:18,199 --> 01:24:18,399
Speaker 1: This is.

1663
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:25,479
Speaker 2: From Chris two K, Hello Handsome Messy boys. Although I'm

1664
01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:28,359
super hyped for DK Bonanza since the direct I also

1665
01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:30,800
can't stop thinking about Prime four and when the release

1666
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:34,359
date finally drops so quick? What's your fair Metroc power up?

1667
01:24:34,399 --> 01:24:37,119
And why I say screw Attack, Mike, because you just

1668
01:24:37,199 --> 01:24:38,000
plow through everything.

1669
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:42,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's always something about you get the screw Attack

1670
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:45,920
that you're kind of like, oh, it's on, It's kind

1671
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:48,039
of It's usually the point where Okay, if I was

1672
01:24:48,119 --> 01:24:50,920
holding back on doing any backtracking or exploring, now I

1673
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:54,560
can basically do anything that I want to in this game.

1674
01:24:55,159 --> 01:24:58,800
Such a good name to the s they named the

1675
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:02,359
whole website after it that people giving problematic for him later.

1676
01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:05,000
I mean it's the first thing that comes to my

1677
01:25:05,079 --> 01:25:08,159
mind when you say Metroy power up, so I might

1678
01:25:08,239 --> 01:25:11,000
have a hard I mean, wave Beam is cool, streaming

1679
01:25:11,039 --> 01:25:11,680
through the walls.

1680
01:25:12,159 --> 01:25:14,039
Speaker 2: Ice Beam is cool too. Just the fact that you

1681
01:25:14,079 --> 01:25:17,039
can turn enemies into platforms has always been a cool mechanic.

1682
01:25:17,119 --> 01:25:19,079
I think it makes you think about things a bit differently.

1683
01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:22,680
Speaker 1: No, absolutely, but I don't know. I can't really think

1684
01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:24,600
of one better than screw Attech. I think you got it.

1685
01:25:25,159 --> 01:25:29,000
Speaker 2: Okay, only a few are here, egar Moreno, how likely

1686
01:25:29,079 --> 01:25:32,199
are you played Digimon story Time Stranger. I actually like

1687
01:25:32,239 --> 01:25:35,039
the way that game looks. I'm interested. I tried the

1688
01:25:35,119 --> 01:25:37,880
R Digimon story games, Cyber Sleuth and The R One

1689
01:25:38,239 --> 01:25:41,000
didn't really hit for me, But something about the style

1690
01:25:41,199 --> 01:25:43,479
of Time Stranger I'm kind of digging and how they have,

1691
01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:46,119
like some of the characters have almost like a fifties

1692
01:25:46,319 --> 01:25:48,520
vibe to them and everything. I'm curious to see how

1693
01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:50,520
it all comes together. So I'm interested.

1694
01:25:51,119 --> 01:25:53,760
Speaker 1: See, I used to really like Digitman. The thing is,

1695
01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:56,520
I kind of like, I do want to play digitmon game,

1696
01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:58,239
but I want to play something that's basically like a

1697
01:25:58,399 --> 01:26:02,359
modern Digitmon world more so than a really story driven thing.

1698
01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:06,720
So I don't know if Time Strangers necessarily going to

1699
01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:10,199
be for me, but maybe we'll see. We'll see what

1700
01:26:10,239 --> 01:26:11,199
everybody says about it.

1701
01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:19,359
Speaker 2: Okay. From Darth Stradius, I'm going with if Kingdom Hearts,

1702
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:23,560
Final Fantasy and Persona were drinks, what would they be.

1703
01:26:25,319 --> 01:26:29,439
Speaker 1: Kingdom Hearts is definitely like the kind of super sweet

1704
01:26:30,279 --> 01:26:33,880
vacation drink you get at the pool bar. It's probably blue.

1705
01:26:34,319 --> 01:26:38,079
It's blue for sure, it's the blue stuff you am. Yeah, yeah,

1706
01:26:38,399 --> 01:26:39,199
so it's super sweet.

1707
01:26:40,319 --> 01:26:43,800
Speaker 2: I think that I'm seeing like a fine wine or

1708
01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:47,640
something for Final Fantasies on a bit age, maybe a whiskey.

1709
01:26:47,880 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 1: Maybe, yeah, but if it's like a yeah, if it's

1710
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:53,039
a cocktail, maybe more like a Manhattan something a bit classy, sure,

1711
01:26:53,199 --> 01:26:56,000
old school classy and old school. I would say, I'm fantasy,

1712
01:26:56,399 --> 01:27:00,239
say you're Manhattan. There persona something a bit more fun

1713
01:27:00,319 --> 01:27:03,920
and bubbly. Maybe it's even a margarita.

1714
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:08,560
Speaker 2: I don't know, Oh sure, Mark, I was thinking maybe

1715
01:27:08,840 --> 01:27:12,279
like a vodka soda or something, just just something kind

1716
01:27:12,319 --> 01:27:14,600
of lighting. Can kind of just like take a lot

1717
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:15,319
of it in, you know.

1718
01:27:15,279 --> 01:27:16,800
Speaker 1: It's kind of vibe something you would probably drink at

1719
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:19,760
the club. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. That makes sense.

1720
01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:24,600
Speaker 2: Uh, ep idiot box Happy Madison has purchased the rights

1721
01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:28,119
to your Favorite Ensemble movie and is planning a reboot. Okay,

1722
01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:31,479
which movie is It doesn't have to be a comedy,

1723
01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:35,279
and which one of Adam Sandler's usual Hollywood friends is replacing?

1724
01:27:35,359 --> 01:27:36,079
Which character?

1725
01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:42,279
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, hmm. Okay, so it's going to be

1726
01:27:42,399 --> 01:27:46,000
twelve angry men okay, and Kevin James is going to

1727
01:27:46,039 --> 01:27:47,199
play the part of the racist.

1728
01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:50,439
Speaker 3: Okay, I see it.

1729
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:51,680
Speaker 1: That's pretty good.

1730
01:27:51,680 --> 01:28:03,680
Speaker 5: Actually pop it myself with that one. Alright there, what

1731
01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:06,319
do you got, Sean? I got admit I think I

1732
01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:07,319
killed it. Good luck.

1733
01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:11,119
Speaker 2: I gotta know that. I was gonna say, like the

1734
01:28:11,279 --> 01:28:15,560
Expendables and Alm Sandler himself is just making cracks during it.

1735
01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:16,640
I got nothing.

1736
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:23,520
Speaker 3: And furious and Torita is what did I say? Steve

1737
01:28:24,079 --> 01:28:25,560
stem the anti boxer guy?

1738
01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:33,439
Speaker 1: What's his name? Oh? Yeah, I like that. Rob Schneider,

1739
01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:36,800
what is a man? But now he's a shapler Snider's

1740
01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:37,359
a carrot?

1741
01:28:37,680 --> 01:28:46,279
Speaker 2: Yeah right? And after all that, Luna Land wants to say,

1742
01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:50,000
just want to thank you for everything you do. And

1743
01:28:50,159 --> 01:28:51,920
Luna Land, I'm so sorry.

1744
01:28:52,039 --> 01:28:54,119
Speaker 1: Luna Land. I don't know what you do, but I

1745
01:28:54,159 --> 01:28:56,760
don't want to thank you for what you so thank you.

1746
01:28:56,880 --> 01:29:02,159
I appreciate it absolutely, all right, fantastic, thank you for

1747
01:29:02,239 --> 01:29:04,560
that mail bag. There, let's say one more break. We'll

1748
01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:06,640
come back. We'll clean up any super chests. What we've

1749
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:08,279
been playing? Wrap the show up? B or B.

1750
01:29:08,359 --> 01:29:09,399
Speaker 2: Everybody cool?

1751
01:29:11,319 --> 01:29:14,279
Speaker 1: All right, we're back, Sean. What have you been playing?

1752
01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:19,479
Speaker 2: I well, let's see. Okay, so I was thinking about

1753
01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:21,439
why I would bring up here. I'll rapid fire a

1754
01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:25,399
couple of them, Pokemon Violet. I'm playing on the switch

1755
01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:29,239
to it runs well now, thank god, because it did

1756
01:29:29,359 --> 01:29:32,520
not before I said I wanted to play it first

1757
01:29:32,560 --> 01:29:35,079
and then watch the Digital Foundery video, which I did,

1758
01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:38,199
and yeah, it was what I figured it would be.

1759
01:29:38,479 --> 01:29:41,760
It's now ten eighty sixty, which is hey, that's still

1760
01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:45,359
a massive improvement for that game. Gless makes it very

1761
01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:49,199
nice looking ten eighty and everything too. So finally playing

1762
01:29:49,239 --> 01:29:52,399
the DLC because I said I would hold off playing

1763
01:29:52,439 --> 01:29:54,600
that DLC until a better switch came around, and now

1764
01:29:54,640 --> 01:29:56,920
I am. And now it's the first Well you like

1765
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:59,640
the Hornshield DLC. The is two parts. In the first

1766
01:29:59,680 --> 01:30:02,079
one it is kind of just okay, But I've heard

1767
01:30:02,119 --> 01:30:04,479
from everyone's second one gets better, so looking forward to that.

1768
01:30:06,279 --> 01:30:09,680
Mario Kart World don't have a ton to add to

1769
01:30:09,720 --> 01:30:11,800
the conversation that's been had about that game. I think

1770
01:30:11,920 --> 01:30:15,520
it's I think it's pretty good. It's really good. There's

1771
01:30:15,560 --> 01:30:18,079
things about it that I really like. I also agree

1772
01:30:18,159 --> 01:30:21,159
that there's a weird lack of polish on a lot

1773
01:30:21,239 --> 01:30:23,680
of it now, a lot of choices that don't make sense.

1774
01:30:24,079 --> 01:30:27,640
Being Knockout Tour is fantastic. Maybe I think that because

1775
01:30:27,880 --> 01:30:30,479
I'm the weirdo who played like one hundred hours of

1776
01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:33,199
the Eliminator and for it's a Horizon, So I love

1777
01:30:33,239 --> 01:30:36,119
the idea of a racing battle royale, but yeah, there's

1778
01:30:37,439 --> 01:30:40,279
you can't ignore that it's a step down from eight.

1779
01:30:40,239 --> 01:30:43,680
Speaker 1: Blocks in a lot ways touched it in a little bit.

1780
01:30:43,880 --> 01:30:46,880
So yeah, you know, I've talked about my films with

1781
01:30:46,920 --> 01:30:48,720
Mario Kart. I definitely want to play it again. I

1782
01:30:48,840 --> 01:30:50,840
want to try out my camera. I do hope that

1783
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:54,680
like we get new tracks and things like that, are costumes,

1784
01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:57,319
like relatively regularly and giving me a reason to go

1785
01:30:57,439 --> 01:30:57,840
back there.

1786
01:30:58,479 --> 01:31:04,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'd be nice. Next up, my bedtime game is

1787
01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:10,039
still one hundred line Last Defense Academy I have. I'm

1788
01:31:10,119 --> 01:31:13,439
gonna try to talk around some things. I have finished

1789
01:31:13,520 --> 01:31:17,680
the main portion of the story and I'm now doing

1790
01:31:18,239 --> 01:31:21,800
everything else, and if you know, you know with that game,

1791
01:31:22,680 --> 01:31:26,880
there's a lot of everything else, and so I'm kind

1792
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:28,800
of petering out a little bit. But then they keep

1793
01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:31,640
giving me a little something where I'm like, ooh, this

1794
01:31:31,800 --> 01:31:35,960
adds to the mystery. This something is solved by finding

1795
01:31:35,960 --> 01:31:39,640
out this. I keep going with like where this story

1796
01:31:39,720 --> 01:31:42,840
is going, So I'm still going with that. I think

1797
01:31:43,600 --> 01:31:45,239
the big one though, the big one that I've been

1798
01:31:45,279 --> 01:31:49,199
playing over the weekend, but around ten ish hours into

1799
01:31:50,159 --> 01:31:52,000
Persona FIV the Phantom X.

1800
01:31:53,279 --> 01:31:55,960
Speaker 1: Right right right right, I what you think of this?

1801
01:31:56,640 --> 01:31:59,039
Speaker 2: So if anyone doesn't know, if you haven't heard about

1802
01:31:59,079 --> 01:32:05,159
it or anything, it is the gotcha game Persona five.

1803
01:32:06,239 --> 01:32:09,840
It's like basically Atlas got a team to make a

1804
01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:15,239
mi Hoyo Hoyo Varse style game, sort of like you know,

1805
01:32:15,520 --> 01:32:19,560
Gensen Impact, Starrail and all that, but for Persona five.

1806
01:32:20,399 --> 01:32:22,760
And I was trying to think of, like, what's what's

1807
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:25,000
the term or what's the phrase I want to use

1808
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:27,439
to describe on feeling with this game, And I think

1809
01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:31,279
the one I selled on is Uncanny Valley.

1810
01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:35,399
Speaker 1: Because it's like it's it feels it's it looks like

1811
01:32:35,520 --> 01:32:38,640
a persona game. It kind of feels like a it's

1812
01:32:38,720 --> 01:32:40,159
just not quite a persona game.

1813
01:32:40,279 --> 01:32:43,800
Speaker 2: Hus it's so close. It's like it looks like five,

1814
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:47,399
it sounds like five, It plays mostly like five, but

1815
01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:50,800
all these little things are off. And the weirdest part

1816
01:32:50,840 --> 01:32:53,680
of all of it is the fact that they are

1817
01:32:53,960 --> 01:32:58,960
basically retelling the story of five, but with different characters,

1818
01:33:00,079 --> 01:33:03,640
so it's it's not like just five for mobile. No,

1819
01:33:03,960 --> 01:33:08,239
it's like a rehash of five, which is it's such

1820
01:33:08,239 --> 01:33:09,039
a weird choice.

1821
01:33:09,199 --> 01:33:09,520
Speaker 1: That's something.

1822
01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:11,319
Speaker 3: It was like a sequel, like an actual sequel to

1823
01:33:11,399 --> 01:33:12,000
Persona five.

1824
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:15,880
Speaker 1: Kind of Strikers already was a sequel to a Persona five.

1825
01:33:16,039 --> 01:33:19,239
Speaker 2: So that's the thing. Every single Persona game is actually

1826
01:33:19,279 --> 01:33:22,720
a sequel, like I know, like you know, Arena is

1827
01:33:22,720 --> 01:33:25,079
a fighting game. There's the dancing games that are rhythm

1828
01:33:25,239 --> 01:33:28,079
but they are actually all story sequels. So technically, yes,

1829
01:33:28,159 --> 01:33:31,119
it's another sequel. But what this game does is it

1830
01:33:31,199 --> 01:33:34,640
asks the question, Well, Joker and his friends woke up

1831
01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:37,039
to their metaverse powers when all this like weird crap

1832
01:33:37,159 --> 01:33:39,720
is going down, why couldn't just more people in the

1833
01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:42,199
city also do the same? And so like on the

1834
01:33:42,319 --> 01:33:45,960
other side of town, another group of school kids is

1835
01:33:46,039 --> 01:33:50,199
getting these powers and they're just hitting all the same

1836
01:33:50,319 --> 01:33:53,800
story beats as Persona five. And it's really weird because

1837
01:33:53,960 --> 01:33:56,279
maybe if you've never played the game, it's kind of

1838
01:33:56,399 --> 01:34:01,359
interesting how this will be like maybe a different generations

1839
01:34:01,439 --> 01:34:04,960
Persona five, like the mobile first generation. I think that's

1840
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:08,399
what they were going for. The problem is the fact

1841
01:34:08,520 --> 01:34:12,960
that if you've played Persona five, you've kind of just

1842
01:34:13,159 --> 01:34:16,680
been here before, and because so many little things are

1843
01:34:16,920 --> 01:34:20,439
off or in many ways just worse because it is

1844
01:34:20,520 --> 01:34:22,199
like Mi ho yo, where you can you can just

1845
01:34:22,279 --> 01:34:25,640
play the game, but then you'll just like wander ass

1846
01:34:25,840 --> 01:34:30,840
backwards into a screen that has real world dollar signs

1847
01:34:30,920 --> 01:34:35,640
on it, and you're like, oh, I see because like

1848
01:34:35,760 --> 01:34:38,159
those games, you can just play using the story characters

1849
01:34:38,239 --> 01:34:41,439
you get, or you can add these cool looking characters

1850
01:34:41,479 --> 01:34:44,479
from the gotcha roles. It's a weird dynamic that companies

1851
01:34:44,520 --> 01:34:46,399
are doing now, but I guess that's where we're at.

1852
01:34:46,920 --> 01:34:50,119
So yeah, I don't know. I'm kinda I can feel

1853
01:34:50,159 --> 01:34:52,239
with each session that I play it, I'm falling off

1854
01:34:52,319 --> 01:34:55,079
a little bit more, a little bit more, because overall

1855
01:34:55,119 --> 01:34:58,239
the quality is there, it's just because it's a rehashing

1856
01:34:58,520 --> 01:35:01,600
of Persona five and it's just kind of worse in

1857
01:35:01,680 --> 01:35:05,600
every way. I'm thinking to myself, well, I don't really

1858
01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:08,319
need to play this like I would like Strikers or

1859
01:35:08,399 --> 01:35:11,399
Tactica or Arena or anything like that. I could just

1860
01:35:11,520 --> 01:35:14,600
play Persona five and get like the same feelings and

1861
01:35:14,640 --> 01:35:17,079
our thing. It's especially weird for me because like, like

1862
01:35:17,199 --> 01:35:18,479
you were there when we were doing Game of the

1863
01:35:18,520 --> 01:35:20,479
Year last year, like Persona means a lot to me,

1864
01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:23,359
Like thre reload that was my game of the year, Like,

1865
01:35:24,439 --> 01:35:26,239
you know, when I was going through some shit, like

1866
01:35:26,399 --> 01:35:28,520
that game was like therapy to me. I loved how

1867
01:35:28,560 --> 01:35:31,680
those characters were written and everything, like they really hit.

1868
01:35:31,760 --> 01:35:34,640
They really make you feel like these are fleshed out characters,

1869
01:35:35,239 --> 01:35:37,800
and there is a little bit of an ick factor

1870
01:35:37,880 --> 01:35:42,079
to like those characters being commoditized to like booster packs

1871
01:35:42,119 --> 01:35:42,600
that you open.

1872
01:35:42,720 --> 01:35:44,640
Speaker 1: You know, sure, no, I know what you mean. The

1873
01:35:44,680 --> 01:35:47,840
gotcha a vocation of everything, even the horse Girl games,

1874
01:35:48,319 --> 01:35:50,479
even the horse Girls they come in for everything, like

1875
01:35:50,680 --> 01:35:54,079
but yeah, yeah, it got be honest, doesn't sound like anything.

1876
01:35:54,119 --> 01:35:57,000
I think I'm gonna try, you know, I'm okay, I

1877
01:35:57,039 --> 01:35:58,439
think its own.

1878
01:35:58,960 --> 01:36:01,359
Speaker 2: I think it would be a download just to see

1879
01:36:01,399 --> 01:36:04,319
what I'm talking about. But yeah, I wouldn't like say, hey,

1880
01:36:04,560 --> 01:36:06,560
just stick with it and gets better, Like nah, if

1881
01:36:06,600 --> 01:36:08,960
you see it and you're like, I'm good, Yeah, just

1882
01:36:09,039 --> 01:36:11,479
get out and you'll be fine. But other people I

1883
01:36:11,600 --> 01:36:13,680
know are also like really digging it, so like maybe

1884
01:36:13,720 --> 01:36:16,880
you'll feel differently now you might, but definitely.

1885
01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:17,119
Speaker 3: Not you might.

1886
01:36:17,239 --> 01:36:19,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not going to play one of these. It

1887
01:36:19,359 --> 01:36:22,239
would be Honky Star Reel because I like trains and

1888
01:36:22,359 --> 01:36:23,560
that's basically.

1889
01:36:23,199 --> 01:36:26,640
Speaker 2: A uh, you know what, star Reel also, I think

1890
01:36:27,079 --> 01:36:29,560
I think Starreel also had the advantage of it was

1891
01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:31,720
kind of a new and different thing to have, like yeah,

1892
01:36:31,760 --> 01:36:35,079
this free to play gotcha sure, which is a bad

1893
01:36:35,159 --> 01:36:38,239
monetization model. I don't agree with it, but it was

1894
01:36:38,479 --> 01:36:41,319
just like a whole new JRPG to play. And I've

1895
01:36:41,439 --> 01:36:45,960
compared mi Joyios games to like Bandai's Tales game, at

1896
01:36:46,039 --> 01:36:49,039
least in recent years, where it's like you can count

1897
01:36:49,119 --> 01:36:51,399
those games being like a solid eight, right, like just

1898
01:36:51,479 --> 01:36:54,039
a solid eight out of ten. That's kind of like,

1899
01:36:54,199 --> 01:36:57,720
you know, Genschen and Starrail and Zembals have sort of

1900
01:36:57,760 --> 01:37:00,319
been as sort of like a solid eight point. Oh

1901
01:37:00,560 --> 01:37:04,159
you know. So yeah, I'm just not really feeling it

1902
01:37:04,760 --> 01:37:07,560
with Persona five X unfortunately, So maybe I'll give it

1903
01:37:07,560 --> 01:37:10,359
a little more time, I know, like, but I can

1904
01:37:10,439 --> 01:37:12,079
kind of feel myself just petering out with it.

1905
01:37:14,760 --> 01:37:16,960
Speaker 1: I have been doing a couple of things. I know,

1906
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:18,640
I know, I've been talking a lot about the Splatoon games,

1907
01:37:18,640 --> 01:37:21,880
but I did start the Auto expansion for two. Yeah

1908
01:37:22,039 --> 01:37:23,960
it's very good. I mean, you know, I told you

1909
01:37:23,960 --> 01:37:25,840
how much I like trains. I like that trains are

1910
01:37:25,920 --> 01:37:28,560
involved here. I do think that off the Hook is

1911
01:37:28,560 --> 01:37:32,600
probably my favorite uh sort of DJ group in any

1912
01:37:32,640 --> 01:37:33,159
of these games.

1913
01:37:33,239 --> 01:37:34,840
Speaker 2: I like there Marina.

1914
01:37:35,279 --> 01:37:37,239
Speaker 1: Marina is the best character, the arena is great, and

1915
01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:40,520
the playoff of Pearl is always good. They have the best, uh,

1916
01:37:41,199 --> 01:37:44,800
they have the best comedic repertoire amongst each other, I think. Right,

1917
01:37:45,359 --> 01:37:47,239
It's a good that you.

1918
01:37:47,399 --> 01:37:49,840
Speaker 2: Get a lot of background on them in Auto Expansion

1919
01:37:49,840 --> 01:37:51,680
as well, so if you like the mass characters, you'll

1920
01:37:51,720 --> 01:37:52,680
like find some cool stuff.

1921
01:37:52,880 --> 01:37:56,720
Speaker 1: It's interesting already. It's like, oh, the main campaign is

1922
01:37:56,760 --> 01:38:00,399
Splatoon three is much more sequel to the Octo expansion

1923
01:38:00,479 --> 01:38:04,800
than it is to the base Splatoon two campaign. Clearly

1924
01:38:04,880 --> 01:38:06,319
they were just falling down that real. But yeah, I'm

1925
01:38:06,399 --> 01:38:08,319
enjoying it. I want to play more. The kind of

1926
01:38:08,359 --> 01:38:10,560
big new thing is doing Awakening, which I did a

1927
01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:13,840
couple hours of on some Giant Bomb content. This is

1928
01:38:13,920 --> 01:38:16,720
that new survival MMO. I want to you know, I've

1929
01:38:16,720 --> 01:38:18,359
heard nothing but things about it. As much as I

1930
01:38:18,439 --> 01:38:22,159
like MMOs, I haven't done much with the survival area,

1931
01:38:22,239 --> 01:38:25,319
which is a whole different sort of subgenre here, but

1932
01:38:26,079 --> 01:38:28,880
I had a really good time with it. The loop

1933
01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:32,239
of just you know, gathering resources and building stuff, is good.

1934
01:38:32,319 --> 01:38:35,840
The game does really good job onboarding you. With all that.

1935
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:39,560
I was never really confused. It's a pretty game. It's

1936
01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:42,920
not overwhelming me with systems. Maybe it'll get there eventually,

1937
01:38:43,279 --> 01:38:45,319
but right now I just have a good grasp on it.

1938
01:38:45,680 --> 01:38:48,119
Even early on, I was already sort of rewarded for

1939
01:38:48,279 --> 01:38:49,119
exploring a bit.

1940
01:38:50,079 --> 01:38:50,239
Speaker 3: You know.

1941
01:38:50,680 --> 01:38:53,880
Speaker 1: They make the traversal fun, which I think is so

1942
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:56,960
important for a modern kind of MMO because you have

1943
01:38:57,079 --> 01:38:59,479
the grappling hook, you have the breath of the wild

1944
01:38:59,560 --> 01:39:02,520
style climbing with the stamina thing, so all of that

1945
01:39:02,720 --> 01:39:05,520
just makes getting around and finding little caves and whatnot

1946
01:39:05,800 --> 01:39:09,159
here and there pretty good. Christian was running around being

1947
01:39:09,239 --> 01:39:13,319
my guardian and protector as I was. Yeah, facing the

1948
01:39:14,159 --> 01:39:21,079
dangers of spice and worms. Playing a lot more. That's true,

1949
01:39:21,880 --> 01:39:23,399
You've been playing a lot more than me, Christian.

1950
01:39:23,479 --> 01:39:26,199
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I let me see here on Steam let

1951
01:39:26,239 --> 01:39:31,039
me go to run. I had twenty two point five

1952
01:39:31,159 --> 01:39:33,680
hours and I started playing like a week ago, So yeah,

1953
01:39:33,720 --> 01:39:35,600
I put a funk all the time of that. Yeah,

1954
01:39:35,640 --> 01:39:37,479
it's really fun. I really like and I'm a doing head,

1955
01:39:37,560 --> 01:39:40,760
so it's double the fun for me. Like seeing like

1956
01:39:40,880 --> 01:39:43,880
the world and kind of stuff. They really nailed the

1957
01:39:44,119 --> 01:39:46,640
feeling of a rakis being the this.

1958
01:39:48,840 --> 01:39:52,560
Speaker 4: Like really hard to leave place there because the sound

1959
01:39:52,800 --> 01:39:55,279
will cook you if you if you're standing in the

1960
01:39:55,359 --> 01:39:57,640
if you don't find shade soon enough, you will your

1961
01:39:57,680 --> 01:40:00,880
character will die, which is really Yeah.

1962
01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:02,880
Speaker 1: It's a it's a really good fit for that. Like,

1963
01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:05,079
you know, I know sometimes we judg about God survival

1964
01:40:05,199 --> 01:40:07,520
games blah blah blah, but Dune makes a lot of

1965
01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:08,720
sense for this genre.

1966
01:40:08,880 --> 01:40:12,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's the world I see. I'm always curious

1967
01:40:12,560 --> 01:40:15,600
with this. Anytime there's like a license game like this,

1968
01:40:16,399 --> 01:40:19,920
does it tie into like the recent source material like

1969
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:20,680
the movies.

1970
01:40:20,479 --> 01:40:23,119
Speaker 1: Or anything alternate universe baby. Yeah.

1971
01:40:23,600 --> 01:40:25,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, whenever they do like a video and that kind

1972
01:40:25,640 --> 01:40:29,600
of stuff, they always go to the alternate alternate timelines

1973
01:40:29,880 --> 01:40:32,840
because they do. How doing this it kind of links

1974
01:40:32,880 --> 01:40:37,159
to it, you know. It's just you know, it's just

1975
01:40:37,840 --> 01:40:40,039
it's just multiple timelines that he can see at the

1976
01:40:40,079 --> 01:40:41,960
same time, so we're just in another timeline.

1977
01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:43,680
Speaker 3: It's not that it's not that.

1978
01:40:43,960 --> 01:40:47,680
Speaker 2: I'm not very familiar with Dune. So yeah, yeah, I'm

1979
01:40:47,760 --> 01:40:49,680
curious about this. Yeah.

1980
01:40:50,439 --> 01:40:50,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1981
01:40:50,880 --> 01:40:53,079
Speaker 4: Also going back to the to the to the feeling

1982
01:40:53,159 --> 01:40:56,800
of the place I like it because so the map

1983
01:40:56,880 --> 01:41:01,039
is said, it's not randomized, issues designed map, and but

1984
01:41:01,279 --> 01:41:03,439
the spawn points all that kind of stuff, they do

1985
01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:06,399
randomized and they show up like in different places. So

1986
01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:10,159
it makes it so it's very familiar to me. I

1987
01:41:10,199 --> 01:41:14,159
feel really familiar with the place that I've explored so far.

1988
01:41:14,399 --> 01:41:16,840
But at the same time it's worked like re exploring

1989
01:41:16,880 --> 01:41:18,840
all the time for all the stuff you can find,

1990
01:41:18,880 --> 01:41:21,640
all the loot. So this it feels really nice just

1991
01:41:21,800 --> 01:41:23,000
to run around that world.

1992
01:41:24,680 --> 01:41:26,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've enjoyed it. I maybe I think I'm gonna

1993
01:41:26,960 --> 01:41:28,920
probably dive in and play a bit more of it

1994
01:41:29,239 --> 01:41:31,159
when it can me. That'd be a fun game to play, well,

1995
01:41:31,399 --> 01:41:34,119
just watching some games don't click on a second screen.

1996
01:41:34,319 --> 01:41:37,800
Absolutely so, and you create a giant bomb Gil.

1997
01:41:39,680 --> 01:41:42,600
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, I agree. That is in the North America servant.

1998
01:41:43,000 --> 01:41:45,560
The house is thick in the citch. I'll rap if

1999
01:41:45,600 --> 01:41:47,399
you can, I'll lot to it afterwards.

2000
01:41:47,439 --> 01:41:48,680
Speaker 3: I'll post it on I do.

2001
01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:49,680
Speaker 1: They sounds like nonsense.

2002
01:41:51,199 --> 01:41:53,600
Speaker 4: If you're fluting with me on the team, I will

2003
01:41:53,680 --> 01:41:55,840
show up on that on the list. It will say

2004
01:41:55,920 --> 01:41:58,199
like your friend is playing this of your friend with

2005
01:41:58,359 --> 01:42:00,640
Mike or whatever. It will show the so everybody. Ilse

2006
01:42:00,720 --> 01:42:03,319
still will post it on Blue Ski for people to

2007
01:42:03,439 --> 01:42:05,800
join and then you can't choose them me and now

2008
01:42:06,079 --> 01:42:07,560
your character to the gil.

2009
01:42:07,720 --> 01:42:08,399
Speaker 3: It's really fun.

2010
01:42:08,760 --> 01:42:11,840
Speaker 4: Also, it has to you know, it's been a while

2011
01:42:11,880 --> 01:42:15,079
since a game an mmo is like pick your faction.

2012
01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:19,199
I feel like, just wow, did that? Things were like

2013
01:42:19,720 --> 01:42:22,960
you can't choose, you can choose hanging out with this NPCs.

2014
01:42:23,159 --> 01:42:24,960
The other NPC is not like you. So it feels

2015
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:27,079
like kind of refreshing and there's a really old.

2016
01:42:28,439 --> 01:42:33,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, you play Dark Age of Camelot back in

2017
01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:35,720
the day because that was like the whole thing there.

2018
01:42:36,119 --> 01:42:39,479
There's like three factions and like the three separate continents

2019
01:42:39,479 --> 01:42:42,079
and then they fought each other. Oh yeah, that that

2020
01:42:42,199 --> 01:42:44,039
is some boomer ship. I'm not gonna lie. Dark Age

2021
01:42:44,039 --> 01:42:48,760
of Camelot was pretty sweet back in the day. Yeah,

2022
01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:50,760
dark Etu of Camlo was kind of the MMO in

2023
01:42:50,880 --> 01:42:53,399
between ever questioning World of Warcraft.

2024
01:42:53,760 --> 01:42:53,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2025
01:42:54,520 --> 01:42:57,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, like people who were there, they knew it was sweet.

2026
01:42:58,600 --> 01:43:00,680
They kept trying to make success to it, and they

2027
01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:03,600
never really took off. All right, we got a couple

2028
01:43:03,680 --> 01:43:06,439
more super chets here. I'll read real quick from Alex WP.

2029
01:43:06,600 --> 01:43:08,600
Should I call and stick on the fourth. I'm leaning

2030
01:43:08,640 --> 01:43:11,479
towards hell. Yeah, absolutely, Why are they making you work

2031
01:43:11,520 --> 01:43:14,319
on the fourth? You know, if you're in America anyways,

2032
01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:15,960
call off anyways.

2033
01:43:16,119 --> 01:43:19,119
Speaker 2: Go for it, especially if you're overseas calling yes.

2034
