originally cut from the movie. It is in here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, give me a Ghost to Christmas Past. I'll do
that one. This is only thirty three dollars. That's awesome.
Vinyls could easily get to fifty sixty dollars or something
like that, So yeah, I am gonna get that.
Speaker 3: Okay, very cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hey, last Game Mass Decides podcast for me
until I get back from vacation. You know. I mean,
I'm missed lasting the ten Dogs next week. I'll miss
game ass Decides next week. Michael hold down the Fort
with y'all. I'm looking forward to it. But boy, they
is starting to get pretty hectic about getting ready over here.
But I'm ready for it. I'm looking forward to many
of the things I'm gonna get to do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's always a bit of a mad dash before
you get going, and then you know, let's you what's
your what's you really get going? I mean, I'm sure
traveling with kids is stressful too, but once you're there,
they're gonna be good.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I have high hopes for them. Are you driving? No,
they're flying. We're flying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that's nice.
Speaker 1: I you know, I considered like I could save money,
but it saves time. So we're gonna fly and uh yeah,
it's uh we leave on Sunday, get there Sunday.
Speaker 3: We're gonna spend that first day. We actually get there
early on.
Speaker 1: Sunday because we're leaving very early on Sunday. So first day,
we're going to downtown Disney. Is that what it's called.
Speaker 2: It's not Disney Springs now, but everyone knows what you mean.
Speaker 1: It's okay, okay, and we'll get some good food there,
probably get you know, merch right away. I bet uh.
Speaker 3: I'm bringing an empty small size suitcase.
Speaker 1: I hope that's big enough.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And then I think we won't go swimming. We use
the hotel poolcause don't how much time we're gonna have
for that otherwise what he'll t are you one again?
We are gonna be in Port Orleans, and there's two
of them, right or maybe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Riverside and French Quarter. I think you're being
think you're a French Quarter, right, I'm making that up.
I think I'm in French Quarter. I think I am. Yes, yeah,
all right, if you're a Disney Springs. The one thing
there that's like you have to plan for if you
want to do is you want to get a Gideon's
Cookie that is very popular. You have to like get
in a line first thing when you get there, just
to then be on put put get put on the
list so that they'll then text you. You can actually
go inside jeez.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, we'll do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, yeah, So just if you want to do that,
it's kind of right in the middle of everything. You'll
you'll find it on the maps and stuff. That is
like the most you're gonna have to wait in the
line to do it kind of thing. It's very well
themed and cool in there. It's neat. Also, they are
just also cookies though, so if you you know, if
you don't want to do that, it's okay.
Speaker 3: Okay, well we'll give it a shot.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, we're gonna have a lot of time
that day and there it crashed fantastic, All right, let's
let that refresh or whatever it's gonna do.
Speaker 2: But the most important, so if you're got Port or Leans,
the most important thing is for you to get the Benetes. Anyways,
that's gonna actually be better and it's gonna be way
easy for you to get. So if you don't get Benet's,
I won't talk to you when you come back.
Speaker 1: Where do I go to get the beignets? Oh?
Speaker 2: Guys, just just like at the one restaurant there, It'll
be very easy. Just go go up to anybody and
say Bennets and they'll point you. It's like the whole
point to stay there. It'll be easy.
Speaker 1: Sounds good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, we'll try to make that happen.
Speaker 1: We have a lot of like of the dining is
set in place and stuff, but not for breakfast. So
breakfast we have mostly open. Some days we're just gonna go,
but some days we'll get a breakfast and.
Speaker 2: It's a good I got. I had some cronut holes today.
You ever had a crow nut?
Speaker 1: I had a cronut in remember our games beat event
in La I had heard of crow nuts before and
people that don't know it's croissant and doughnut. And so
when they had cronuts at this hotel or you know,
the resort that we were at, I got.
Speaker 3: Several there because they were so delicious.
Speaker 1: And since then, every couple of weeks I like search
like Google maps near my home for crow nuts to
see if anyone's serving crow nuts and nope. To this
day still now there's one place here that does it.
Speaker 2: I don't even know the name of it because it's
like my step mom who goes. So there's one place
here we can get crow nuts and they are amazing.
I freaking can knock get enough of them. I mean,
I can't create. Oh like, you know, you eat two
of them and it's like, I think I'm gonna die now.
But that was that was worth it.
Speaker 1: Do you listen to any of the Dumb Truck today,
not yet? Just Dan talking about how much sugar he eats.
Sometimes it's it's a lot, it's it's I eat a
lot of sugar. Not as much as Dan Riker. No,
he would eat six crow nuts.
Speaker 2: He had the audacity to say that he doesn't think
he consumes any like corn syrup in anything.
Speaker 1: I know, I know it was There's no getting through
to him with that stuff, of course, but yeah, uh

Speaker 3: All right, got some stuff to talk about, Mike, Let's
get into it.
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
Speaker 3: Phil Spencer says a Vowed wasn't delayed due to quality concerns.
Speaker 1: Do you believe them? Kind of?
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, yeah, you know what I think, I
mostly do.
Speaker 1: His reasoning was the reason they said at the time was, look,
we have a lot of stuff coming out.
Speaker 3: We have a lot of stuff coming to game Pass
right now.
Speaker 1: We have the diabolo for expansion, call of duty for
a Black Op or call duties is me a Black
Op six and and then Indiana Jones come in December.
Speaker 3: We want a vow to have its own time to shine.
Speaker 1: And you know what, you know, when I look at
what Black Ops six did and probably how they were
tracking it internally, being like, let's get a vout out
of here, like everyone's just gonna be playing Black Ops six.
Speaker 3: Seems like they might have made the right choice, right, right, you.
Speaker 2: Know, God, I think about old the actual activision, right,
and they were doing things like releasing titan Fall two
around the same time. That's called duding what disaster was.
Now this is a bit of a different circumstance. But
even then, right, like a vout against Dragon Age may
not have been great for that, right, there's so much
cachet with with the dragon Age, not as much with
a vowed you know, I get like, you know, moving
to February, Well there's a lot of games coming out
then too. Yeah, but Microsoft can't control that to a
certain extent, it can control its own games before, you know,
it can help itself out, and it is. It does
make sense to me. And yet, you know, I'm sure
there was probably a little bit of like, well, you know,
game can also maybe benefit from a few extra months.
Every game can, though, right, we don't know to what
extent that would be the case, but why not?
Speaker 1: Yeah? And you know, and there's a tw here where
it's like they were really looking at the numbers. They
were looking at the schedule, and I'm like, okay, we
put Call of Duty out at this time, a lot
of people are gonna get game Pass for that. And
then in February, as some people are beginning to like
wane on Call Duty, maybe they'll be looking for something else.
Maybe they'll open up the game pass app saying, hey,
we'll come in to my next game be and right
there a Vowed will be waiting for them and could
really ride that wave. Maybe we'll see. But uh, yeah,
in general, I think I think I agree with you
that I mostly believe them. I think there's also a
chance that it's like, hey, we feel like this game
is just not getting on the right foot with the
messaging and the hype cycle. It feels like maybe we
had a few missteps there. So let's give us ourselves
a few more months get on the other side of
some of these big games like Indiana Jones. And then
immediately first thing after that, starting in the January of
twenty twenty five, go really hard and unavowed and see
if we can restart that messaging machine.
Speaker 3: And I think that that game will benefit from that.
Speaker 1: If that's the case.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I do hope to kind of crack
that nut and figure out how to get people excited
for a value. You know, I've been kind of befuddled
about that for like a year. I'm like, hey, Obsidian,
the like company that maybe makes the best uh befesta
style games, even more so than Bees, they're making a
new one of those, and it's the first one that's
going to be like Skyrim in like a decade. We
don't get one of those very often. And look at
it looks pretty neat. Aren't you all excited? And everybody's
like no, I'm like, oh, that's okay, and I'm play
these games all right, yeah, fine, And then I play it,
I'm like I thought it was pretty good and was
like okay. I'm like so yeah, I don't know what
they need to do, but they gotta need to do
something to get people a bit more into this, yep.
Speaker 1: And now they have a little bit more time to
figure that out, and they'll they'll probably try something different
next go around with the marketing, and that'll be a
benefit to them. Kil did a lot of talking this week.
He talked to Bloomberg. He talked to Steven Tatillo over
a game file and as part of that, they he
also said that there's no red lines for around games
that belonged to Xbox in regards to whether they could
show up on other platforms, that those being Nintendo Switch
and PlayStation.
Speaker 3: And then he was asked like, hey, like what about Halo,
and he.
Speaker 1: Basically said, it's too early to decide about the next Halo,
but there's also no red line around Halo, so it
could be under consideration. What do you think about that?
Speaker 2: I understand like being a little bit scared of making
that decision because it's the final decision there, right, that
you got to make about that stuff. So once you
once you do that, so you can't pull it back. Right,
once you go there, then then that's it. Everything is
on PlayStation. You've really crossed the line. And it's so
hard vegans. Once you get people something to then take
it away. Well, once you make that move, you're kind
of stuck with that forever, so you better be careful
about that. At the same time, though, like you know,
Halo Infinite kind of suffered. You want to make sure
the next Halo has everything it needs to succeed, and boy,
putting it on PlayStation would help, not just because like, oh,
of course, like there's more, there's more, you know, so
many people playing on PlayStation. But it would just grab attention, Jeff,
just the fact that Halo is on PlayStation. There would
be so many people that would want to check that out.
There might be people who just like buy a physical
copy of that game just to have a Halo cover
art with the PlayStation logo, right. That would just immediately
help that game sell a lot of extra copies.
Speaker 1: And it's like there's you know, look at the way
the winds are blowing, right, I mean, what is working
for Xbox right now? Call of Duty, Minecraft, things that
are so big and everywhere, and there's no chance of
ever not being everywhere. They're just going to be in
more places, if anything. And Microsoft also, like you know, listen,
they're still gonna make hardware. They've said they're still gonna
make hardware, sure, but like their main effort right now
seems to be expanding the place in which people can
play these games. We'll talk about here in a second.
The this is int an Xbox campaign, which some people
are freaking out about, but they're like, hey, no, everything's
an Xbox potentially, And so like when I look at it,
and you know, when I project out ten to fifteen years,
So what have been saying on other shows, like it's
very easy to imagine Halo on PlayStation in twenty years,
So like we're talking about a time between now and then, Like,
why not just get to that point as quickly as possible,
get it over with and figure out what the future
looks like instead of trying to keep one foot in
the past and one foot in the future if they're
going in that direction, Because what isn't the future is
suddenly Xbox is back and has everyone has an Xbox
and you can put out games exclusively and these massive
games that cost of a massive amount of money to
make can recoup all of their costs plus make huge
profits just with Xbox. That's not happening. So you can't
keep one foot in the past one foot in the future.
Just get to the future. To me, that says they're
just going to naturally decide here pretty soon to put
even Halo on PlayStation. So when it comes to now
this ad campaign which I don't know, have you seen this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I've seen this. This is an Xbox and
I mean, what's the natural conclusion of that Jeff, and
I don't know if it could ever actually be in
the ACA payin, but a picture of a PlayStation five.
Speaker 1: Everyone is an Xbox nextbooks?
Speaker 4: Are you an Xbox grub? Who is a next Took?
Speaker 1: Listen, I'm not You're not allowed to ask me that
he's not an Xbox.
Speaker 4: He's a spot.
Speaker 1: Damn damn. Yeah. I think I'm getting a little bit
maybe sick of this mic of like people being like
they're just admitting it. They're they're a party. It's like pitch,
They've been saying this for years. Now what are we
talking about? Yeah?
Speaker 2: It is how many more times do we need.
Speaker 1: To do this? Right? Like many more times do we
need to do this? Zero? We don't need to do it.
Just listen to them. It happened.
Speaker 4: I'm going to own the Xbox by buying calib Duty.
Speaker 1: That's I mean.
Speaker 2: The fact is we're still gonna have to deal with
it when First Gears gets announced for PlayStation, which will
probably happen, and then when Halo does, and like that's
the thing. At least once that does happen with Halo,
then you would think, okay, like we're here, everybody. The
only other thing that would stop at that point is
if they do come out and say like we're not
making original hardware anymore, which I don't really think is
going to happen anytime super soon, but you know, yeah,
we are on this trajectory now and having the ad
campaign just spell it out, but you've been saying for
a long time that that is what their messaging is
going to be.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And like, I don't blame people like a couple
of years ago when it was like, is that what
they're saying?
Speaker 3: Because they were trying to be coy about it.
Speaker 1: They were trying to be like I mean only maybe,
you know, but really if you actually dug into what
they were saying, they were saying this same thing that
the ad campaign says, and the natural conclusion then was
those games could end up on PlayStation eventually. Maybe. Now
they've also been uncertain about this. We've heard about arguments
inside of Xbox where some people think it's a terrible
idea just put stuff like Halo on PlayStation. So even
internally they're not decided on this stuff, and I think
part of that's just not having a very strong vision
for like what the intermediate time frame looks like.
Speaker 3: But I think on the long term timeframe.
Speaker 1: They do know what it looks like, and it's Xbox
games everywhere, including PlayStation and Nintendo platforms. Yeah, they're not going.
Speaker 2: To make that decision until they have to, and they
do have some time still to make this, especially at
the next Halo is going to be on unreel, so
you know, making a places a version of that is
going to be easier than if they were using their
proprietary engine like they used to.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, yeah, definitely it'll I mean, and that's probably
part of what they're thinking about it is like, hey,
have this in unreel will also make it easier to
like downscale it for mobile and stuff like that. So yeah,
there are a lot of considerations there. They are building
stuff for the future, and that future includes all these
other platforms. And again I say this one all the
time as well, but they definitely see a future in
which it might be possible to have the Xbox Store
on PlayStation where they don't have to give PlayStation a
cut because of regulation. That's how it's starting to work
on mobile And what's the difference between a mobile phone
computer and a console computer in my opinion, and I
think in regulator's opinions very little. Even if I think
gamers would be like, well, here's why this is different
than that, and why these companies should be protected from
that regulation and inst on phones shouldn't be. It's not
I don't think regulators are going to buy that in
the long term. Again, especially in Europe, when and if
it goes that way in one major territory at a
certain point, it's just going to be that way everywhere.
And if that happens, then the hey, this PlayStation is
an Xbox becomes very true, right, because then it's just
I'm using my PlayStation to access the Xbox ecosystem and
bypassing Sony completely, and then Sony can't do anything to
stop that. That. Yeah, that's a wild time, wild thing
to think about.
Speaker 3: And then also Phil is making a big Mellie poopy?
Is what you wrote here or help?
Speaker 1: I don't write that.
Speaker 2: I wrote some of that only I wrote only two
words of that, and I won't say which one.
Speaker 1: He talked about making a handheld. He says that they are.
He's having his team analyzing it. It's if not that
if it happens, but it's like it's it's a few
years off, but he's very interested in the space, and
he's like, we're looking at the space, we're researching it,
and I'm going to have them come back to me
and tell me what we what they think we should
do once they've completed that look into the space and
done their research. I think they're probably pretty deep into
that process at this point, right Mike, and we probably
do get a handheld, maybe not in twenty twenty six,
but maybe twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 3: So three two or three years from now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's it's like it's almost starting to
feel well, is that going to be late? But I
mean part of this, you know, this campaign, everything, you know,
this is an Xbox. Everything's an Xbox. I mean I
look at my rog galle X and I do kind
of feel that a little bit. I just access the
Xbox app on there. I have game Pass on there, right,
so I just do play all those games on there. So,
you know, I wonder if it's gonna hurt them that
we're just going to get more and more of these
kind of machines that are already so good at being
portable Xboxes. In a lot of way, I'm curious to
find to see how they make the specific Xbox Xbox
version of that exciting and interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, you know, if they can do a
good version of the Xbox operating system for handheld and
make that environment really friendly to playing games, I would
welcome that. But you're right, there's there's a lot of
work to be done there, and I do think like
that is something that would be important for you know,
Jackson tension chat here points out, it's like the console
should still feel important. I think the handheld, even in
a world where everything's an Xbox, could feel important the
way the Steam deck has felt important. So we'll see.
But yeah, I don't know when it comes to what
Jackson's saying here, Mike, I think about it's already over.
It was over before they've made these decisions, right, because
we got to think about the way young people play games,
like children. They are going to these consoles to play
games that they were already playing on tablets and PCs
for free, Fortnite, roadblocks, a handful of other things, and
those are what matter to them, and being in the
device on which they access those things is an afterthought.
And so it's all like the magic of consoles for
an entire generation of gamers coming up after US has
already been lost. And I think that's what you know,
Microsoft is dealing with. That's why they feel like they
are so far too far behind to fix the problem,
because they'd have to change the way an entire generation
thinks about consoles, and in a world where consoles aren't
going to just keep going up in price. Spencer had
talked about this as well as same. We're not going
to grow the market with one thousand dollars consoles. That
is just not really feasible. So what can you do
is become one of those platforms like a Fortnite and
like a Call of Duty or you know, buy a
Call of Duty and buy your way into having one
of those platforms like a Minecraft, and establish yourself and
like position Xbox to work in the same way as
one of those platforms. And that's what they're going for.
I don't know if it's going to work, and I
get why people. I think it's less special and I'm
a little bit less excited about thinking about Xbox because
of it. But you know, if they put out a
good game, I'm gonna buy it. Still.
Speaker 3: They're gonna get my money one way or the other.
Speaker 1: So I don't think they're too worried about me, and
they're much more worried about positioning themselves for the future.
Speaker 2: Right, No, that's exactly right. And I just these handhelds
are going to be such an important part of the
future going forward. I mean, we know PlayStation's working one.
We don't think the Intendo's going to leave this space
anytime soon at all. And at least for the first
round of these things, right, the first Xbox handheld, I
mean for Xbox is gonna be the first handhold ever
in a sense, so there should be some excitement around that.
And I mean that's why it's such a no brainer
for them, because at least it's a new space, right,
you have to imagine a lot of people are going
to at least be curious about that.
Speaker 1: Last couple of things here on the news stories I
wanted to talked about mostly just new releases. I Try
and Quest three h D two D remake is the
reviews are out, has an eighty five on Open Critic. Basically,
most people are like, boy, it looks really good. There's
a lot of great updates here, some quality of life improvements,
and it's still an old ass RPG with grinding and
random encounters, and they didn't tune that stuff down at all,
so just be prepared for that. And to me, that
sounds like, well, I think it's probably what they should do.
Maybe I would welcome some other options for tuning that
stuff a little bit at like as an optional preference
that I can maybe set, but like, if you aren't
going to have those options, this is probably what you
should do. And I'm excited about this still.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like they could have maybe done the Pixelory Master
thing and let you turn off some of that stuff if.
Speaker 1: You want to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you know, for me, I wish when
I went and predicted this game's metacritics score back when
we were doing that, and I think I guess like
a ninety one. I wish I could have told myself, hey,
don't forget Mike from people are just gonna be kind
of not weird. But some people are gonna be a
little prickly about a faithful remix to any game from
before the three sixty generation, right because it's just a
little bit different, especially a famic Games game. Like you know,
you know, my stance on this stuff like random battles
turned ah, that's the game of course why not. But yeah,
there's there's some people who are just gonna bristle with
that or suppose you know, I see some people like
there's not much of a story here. I'm like, yeah,
that's great, that's awesome.
Speaker 3: That's as a feature, not a bug.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely what you know, Like all reviews, it's
a case like, hey, like read the review, see if
like you think you kind of align with where this
person's position is. Because I think people like me who
really do love, you know, old school JRPGs, are going
to be very happy with it. I have been installed
and ready to go. I'm just in the endgame of
Metaphor right now, so I'm going to finish that first
and then jump right into this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's like, I think a lot of people
are gonna probably like get over that stuff because this
is gonna be a fun game for most people. And
I just think, at first, blush, it's not how modern
games feel. And if you can get like maybe push
past that a little bit, you're gonna find stuff like
maybe a lot of stuff to like here. And again,
it just looks really amazing.
Speaker 2: Like Dragon Quests worse than anyone like dragon Quest is
almost never stopped being that game in a lot of ways.
It's kind of expecting now that there's some stuff. Even
I like dragon Quest's inventory system, I'm kind of like, oh,
this is pretty This is kind of a lot because
it is restrictive, but that is also the game in
some degree, or are meant to do inventory management and
make those decisions. It's it's the how do you feel
about ink ribbons and saving an old residieval games thing, Jeff,
Because you get people just like, well, that's the way
the stupid, But then you also get people like, that's
an interesting mechanic.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: This kind of just kind of decides where you fall
on that spectrum, right, right.
Speaker 1: And I think you know, as time goes on, just naturally,
more people happen to find themselves on the further side
out of the spectrum because most of the games they
played have not had that stuff. And that's just the
way time has.
Speaker 2: Worked, right, And like I was saying this last shit,
but I don't meet gosh, they don't. I really don't
mean for this be old manual in a clouds. It's fine,
but you know, there's a lot of time we were
complaining about the handholding games, and now you know, there's
a lot of people who grew up in the video
games are kind of holding your hand generation a little bit,
and I don't blame them that going back to something
like Dragon Quest three can be a bit intimidating and
kind of feel like this game doesn't respect my time
or is being unfair to me. I get it.
Speaker 3: Yep, eighty five out of one hundred, though still very good.
Speaker 2: I'm exciting.
Speaker 1: Lego Horizon Adventures, meanwhile, has a seventy two one open credit.
I believe that's still where it's at or around there.
And basically people are saying, hey, yeah, it's pretty okay
maybe but gets boring, gets routine, And then a lot
of people are saying, don't know who it's for, because
as Soonne, who's a fan of this, I don't feel
like much of a draw hearing as someone who might
have kids, they don't seem to care either, And I mean,
I think maybe I'm a little surprised that it seemed
to seeming to fizzle out with so many people. Maybe.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, again, seventy two for this kind
of thing, Like what do Lego games usually do?
Speaker 3: I think they think they do a little bit better,
but not much better.
Speaker 2: You're right, yeah, but I mean there is all there
is an inherent thing right where Hey, these games are
kind of take themselves seriously and are kind of mature.
I mean, you, you know, murder a lot of people
in these games. Yeah, so how do you you know?
Lego five that you cad and it might be fun?
You know, Lego games are always inherently simple. That's part
of the reason why I never really liked, I mean,
not their best Like I I liked the Halo are
the Lego game format for exactly one game, the first
Lego Star Wars, and then I was kind of over
it even after that, right, even when they did franchises
I cared about more like Lord of the Rings. I
just never really was able to care that much about it.
But there obviously is some juice there, but it juice
usually works better when you're doing something that already appeals
to children, Harry Potter or Star Wars, right exactly.
Speaker 1: All right, let's see here, I'm gonna get that ready. Uh, Okay,
anything else we wanna talk about or should we take
a break and then get to the super chats.
Speaker 2: Let's get to the super chats.
Speaker 1: Okay, we're gonna take a quick break, everybody. Mike's gonna
get those super chats ready to read. We'll do that
right after this. All right, we are back, Mike, Let's
do the superchats.
Speaker 2: Simon from Saskatchewan says, I wish the first name of
the new Orleands States coach was Sky? Is that Rizzo?
Would it be Sky Rizzo? If that was the case,
I think, oh, yes, yes, that'd be great.
Speaker 1: That's the case.
Speaker 2: That's good like that, then he can help me with
my butt problems.
Speaker 5: Uh sure.
Speaker 2: Simon from Saskatchewan also says sorry if you answered this
thousands of times before, but I've never played a solze game.
I got a steam deck, So which one should I play?
And not play first? But Friday's coming up, so I'll
give it a try. I mean, I think just going
into out and ring that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 1: Honestly, it works works really well on the steam deck
that's where I played all of it, and it is
definitely the one that will be like give you the
opportunity to, like, when you run into something that is
a problem, you can run away and do something else
if you're supposed to. Uh So, yeah, go do that,
and then once you get the bug, I mean, do
what happened to mikel You played the expansion and then
you started playing Dark Souls one and two and stuff, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, then like after that, that's when I went back
and started playing some of the other stuff and I'm
having a good time. But yeah, I think eleanor Ring
is like more approachable in a lot of ways. It's
the newest, hottest thing. There are so many resources out
there for tricks and secrets and builds and all that stuff.
So if you want to play like that, you want
to just go and blind and figure it out yourself,
you can do that too.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's totally open to like you just going
in there and you know, tooting around. You'll have a
good time.
Speaker 2: Also from Simon from Susastico, I'm thank you so much.
Simon says, Mike, if you want to shave the stash,
you could do it for November. Also, what's the funniest
name you can think of? My huge Janice Mike hunt
are good? Uhh yeah yeah, the November I think is
Quinn says, I don't think I'm shaving it. I don't
think I'm getting rid of this at least this year.
I think I'm gonna try to keep this Christmas at least.
Speaker 1: It's it's it is looking really good with the five
o'clock shadow.
Speaker 2: Now I think I want to I think the shadow
is getting a bit much, and I might.
Speaker 1: Sure, sure, yeah yeah, trim yeah yeah, if you're gonna
trim it, that's fine, just like it looks good. Like
I think at this level right right about here is like, yeah,
that looks really good.
Speaker 2: Gosh, there was always Now I'm just thinking of like
you know, calling Bark, calling Mow. That's what I think
about those names. And I just always think of Mike,
Mike Hunt. I think of Mike Hunt.
Speaker 1: Mine is my Dixie wrecked. Of course.
Speaker 2: Ali Verkle says Post Black Adam w Rock was a
treat to say the least, but WrestleMania is going to
be hilarious with post Red one w W Rock. Oh
can you imagine how one hand she's gonna be when
that movie bombs Because he's the only one doesn't see
it coming.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, did I did? Everyone see him? Like
talking about like how he he saw Oppenheimer and Imax
in the seat where Chris So, Who's the director of Oppenheimer.
Speaker 3: He's like, Chris, no one think. I was sitting in
his seat and I was watching up An.
Speaker 1: Iron and I was like, oh, man, I was thinking,
when Red One comes out in Imax, it's gonna be
game over.
Speaker 4: Oh he's and then he's so bad.
Speaker 1: He's just yeah, he's lost it. And then like the
tweet or whatever, the skeet that was about this was
like Red One currently has thirty six percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
Speaker 2: It's get his hand, my god, man, I mean that's
just that's I mean, he because he had a good,
like five tenure run there where everyone loved him and
he was the biggest in the world, and like that,
that's just not healthy for you.
Speaker 4: This motherfucker made a movie about a fucking eirquake that
he ses hang out around an earthquake, and he was
like good and it wasn't That was when.
Speaker 1: He was like kink shit era. Everyone's like, yeah, we'll
go see that.
Speaker 4: It was a hit. Yeah, he was good. It was fun.
It was a fun time. Now he's has to black
out him. He was like, I'm gonna be the motherfucker
the greatest superhero ever, bigger than the Superman and that
fell down, and then you choose spiraled down after that.
Speaker 1: And Marino was right there. It did happen before Black
Adam something went wrong. I think it was like around
the skyscraper time, like where like that was like kind
of weird. No one really cared about that one. I
think that one threw them off.
Speaker 2: KBS Squire, Oh excuse me, I'm JC first. I generally
like everything Obsidian does more than be says the game.
So I'm looking forward to about I bet what's that
game's out? I bet, I bet it's gonna review well,
and then people gonna sum be like, oh yeah, why
didn't I care about this? Yeah, but we'll see.
Speaker 1: I agree. I think there's a good chance that it
will surprise a lot of people. Did you know there's
guns in it? Jeff?
Speaker 2: What KPS squire, with a very generous superjed think is
so much? KB says this year demos are directly responsible
for me buying Unicorn, Overlord, Metaphor Pick before and Monster Hunter.
I had never even heard of Unicorn and Metaphor before.
Speaker 1: The demos.
Speaker 2: Has a great demo recently helped you pull the trigger
to buy any games?
Speaker 1: Hmmm? Probably you know, we play some I do some
stuff in the Steam Next Rest here or there. It's
definitely been like I'm gonna have this my wish list.
So it's happened. But you know, our typical relationship to
the games right is like we're inundated with previews and
we're getting pitched stuff constantly by pr In companies and
watching every trailer. So I see a lot of this
stuff and you know, maybe if maybe I'm even like
playing it early, so it's like I'll just kind of
wait till I'm playing it when it's about to come out.
So typically no, but that's not because I don't care
about demos. It's just because of the job. Yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 2: I'm not a huge demo person. Really, I'm trying to think.
I'm gonna try to think like did I play the
pick before it demo first? And I just have a
code and I just played it right because there's no
toads too.
Speaker 1: Stephen o' harr is a good point. The Steam Next
FST demo for Bolotro. That's that Jan told me about.
Sure that really got me into Bolotro for sure.
Speaker 2: Doctor Ryan says, don't know how far you are into it?
But what's your favorite puzzle and Rise of the Golden
Idol so far? I almost a driving Movies. Got the
plot too, of course you got the plat Doctor Ryan.
I know you're playing this. I never played the original, Jeff, Like,
do you think this is a must play for me?
Is that I need to make sure I check out
before Game of the Year stuff?
Speaker 1: Yes, I think it'll come out in our Game of
the Year for sure. I am. I love it. But
you know, I'm very much into this this genre. You know,
it is like those old logic puzzles of like if
you know this neighbor lives next to this person, they're
forty two years old, and then they do this and
you got to like piece together what you know. But
it's different because it's a you know, a visual medium
in terms of like you could see all this stuff
and and uh, yeah, I don't know. It's just it's
just a cool game and the puzzles are very good.
The setup is very good, and it just looks incredible.
I also really like to drive in a theater episode,
Dr Ryan. I also like the prison one. People seem
to have problems with the prison one, but that one
really clicked for me. And I like that a lot.
One of the things that's fun here that they do
in this one. I think did a little bit of
this in the first one. But they'll have like multiple
different kinds of things you can fill in, and sometimes
it's like who is in what costume and and what
can like then what can character they dressed as. There
will be a whole separate screen for like what are
the names of these characters from this movie that's playing
in the drive in And it's fun to like piece
one of those things together one by one. Then that
helps you then solve the ultimate puzzle the of the scene,
and then the scene helps you solve this over arching
puzzle for the entire chapter. And Yeah, that stuff's just
really driving with me.
Speaker 2: Ag b time with their first super chat, think it's
so much, says in Brothership, there's an island of opposing
fire and ice denizens that ask the bros to taste
and choose between their hot eats or cool treats. Even
in Concordia, the Dairy Queen debate rages on. I want
to be clear, I was always I was very upset
about the d Q slander. I've enjoyed their hot eats, says,
I was thank you a child. I think that they
are completely fine and on par with pretty much every
other fast food establishment.
Speaker 1: I think they're chicken fenders.
Speaker 2: Chicken tenders are pretty good for a place that isn't
like primarily a chicken place, right, that.
Speaker 1: Isn't like a pop Eye chicken we're crazy about shipping,
right exactly. It's like a solid chicken tender. It's like
better than it has the right to be, I think,
is where I would put it.
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, it's like, you know, they have good
they have like pretty good hate eats, and then they
have the cool treats. So you could have a cheeseburger
it's gonna be like about as good as what you
get a bur king. But then you can get a
very nice ice cream cone that you cannot get at
Dairy Queen or at McDonald's because the ice cream machine.
Speaker 1: Is broken in right exactly. Dan on voicemail dom Truck
Today did say he tried the chicken tenders from Dairy
Queen and said that he thought they were pretty good,
and it's like yeah, like he had no complaints about them.
So even he has cooled his rhetoric on the hotties good,
I'm happy.
Speaker 2: Wes Di Direct says, the only time I went to Disney,
we stopped at a subway. My five year old, he's
got a turkey and cheese sandwich, and she opened the
sandwich and threw the turkey over her shoulder.
Speaker 1: Hope you have a good trip. Man.
Speaker 2: That's a power move right there.
Speaker 1: That rules. That's very cool. I was. I was probably
a little bit older than that, and by that I
mean like twelve when I went to a restaurant my
brother's at the mall, and I remember doing this because
it's like, why did I do that? And I took
the mustard, which was a you know, just a yellow
bottle that they filled with mustard themselves, and I picked
it up and put the nozzle up my nose and
I was like, oh, yeah, other people are going to
use this. Why did I do that?
Speaker 3: That's crazy? And they yelled at me a lot, so
I got what i'd served.
Speaker 5: There you go.
Speaker 2: Ezekio buck Hite says, I must have blanked out for
some weeks or something, but the fuck happened at Jeff's
main he lose another.
Speaker 1: Bet kind of along the same lines. We raised money
for charity and the fifteen thousand dollars goal was I
would get a mullet, that Kayla would give me a mullet.
And you should go watch this. It's in the whole
charity stream. I don't know when it happens, but it's
an eight hour stream, but you'll find it. Just look
for the gyrating gingerbread man when you see that happen.
A little bit after that, that vibrant, that gyrating A
gingerbread man will give me a haircut. And it's tear fine,
it's X Core.
Speaker 2: There's a Lincoln member for twenty five months thinking so
much as it's too damn early for your Christmas stream.
Mitch got to disagree.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm Mike, You're so right. They're weak. They're just weak.
You can't handle it X Corp.
Speaker 2: It's even like, you know, like some people like, how
dare we dissolve or ignore Thanksgiving? No, we're not going
to ignore Thanksgiving. No, we're making part of the party. Yeah,
but like, aren't Thanksgiving? It's Thanksgiving? It's not like you know,
we're complex people.
Speaker 3: We can weekend for a weekend, it's Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: Like it gets a lot.
Speaker 2: It's Thanksgiving and then we go back to Christmas.
Speaker 1: It's fine, it's fine, but no part of Thanksgiving is
trying to be like, let's take over your whole November.
Thanksgiving is not trying to do that.
Speaker 3: It wants to be Thanksgiving week exactly.
Speaker 2: That's the thing. Like Christmas is a holiday season. Yeah,
and all those holidays are even like Halloween has become
that Thanksgiving. Just it's not that it's not a holiday.
Speaker 1: Does it want to be? You're not disrespecting Thanksgiving by
not treating all November about being about Thanksgiving. No, Thanksgiving
is that day watch football, get together with your family,
eat a lot of food. And if you've done that,
you successfully celebrated Thanksgiving. You can move on.
Speaker 2: Game Fire Cribder says the ad is about Xbox ecosystem, console, PC,
xblot mobile, talking about that this is an Xbox ad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, clearly it's about the ecosystem, and it's just, you know, again,
I'm getting a little bit sick of people not being like, Okay,
let's just move on.
Speaker 3: That's what they're doing now. But you know, people can't
handle it.
Speaker 1: Still.
Speaker 2: Game Fire Lincoln member for five months, think you so much, Game.
Speaker 1: Fire, Thank you. Game Fire.
Speaker 2: Arnold Schwarzenegger. Should I do a voice or not?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 4: Please?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, yeah, play something. Oh god, that's terrible.
Speaker 5: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: What that was Warrior? What did you do? It was Warrio?
Why did you do that? I don't know.
Speaker 2: I got performance anxiety. Everybody could do a Schwarzenegger except
for me right now now, if you did that, I
don't know if I could do a Schwartznegger anymore.
Speaker 5: I might say, get to the chopper and.
Speaker 1: Get to the chopper. That's what I needed. Get to
the chop.
Speaker 2: Paid some of this Larry Arcade game with my striding
on tonight and it's very fun stuff. But he won't
stop talking about his friend Toko Toko to It sounds like, everybody, look,
I warn you all years ago. I can't do impressions.
Speaker 1: I just can't. I'm this is the only voice I got.
It isn't that?
Speaker 5: Sad?
Speaker 1: Okay? Super chat about Let's see.
Speaker 2: I played some of this Lario Arcide game with my
son in law tonight and it's very fun stuff. But
he won't stop talking about his friend Midtokodo. His son
in law is Chris Pratt. Everybody, Yes, that's right, that's
very good stuff.
Speaker 1: Thank you Arnold.
Speaker 2: Yes, shouldn't have looked at the chat and that is
from Jason Fulton with their ten Superchet think he says, Mike,
it's been a minute. Could you break out the Jordy
British accent for a minute. Always makes me laugh. Thanks
for it was great?
Speaker 1: How about I read one?
Speaker 2: How about I read the Arnolds for sitegger but super
chapping in that voice?
Speaker 4: Please?
Speaker 6: I have a place on oyo okak a minute with
my son that triangle it's fun, but he won't talk
talk about his friend Tokoto in it.
Speaker 2: That triangle, perfect thing, beautiful.
Speaker 4: Thank you and you are your talent.
Speaker 2: Nick Olivetto, with their first super Chet, says, do you
think with the potential incoming tariffs Nintendo might change it?
Switch to schedule to get it out before increased prices,
maybe turn customers away. Love you both, Love you too, Nick,
thank you so much for that first super chat.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: We talked about this a little bit on on the
last than the ten Dogs, But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think if I were Nintendo, I would be more
uncertain because if you put out beforehand at a certain
price and then that price is untenable because of tariffs
Now you have to raise the price.
Speaker 3: That like doesn't look great. Even if everyone understands what's happening,
it still doesn't look great.
Speaker 1: People don't care while you're raising the price, frankly, so
they might hold off longer until they're more certain about
what's gonna happen, or they might do a higher price
than they were going to do anyhow right now, so
they don't have to raise it as much if the
tariffs come. And again, I know there's a lot of
people who are like coping and saying the tariffs won't
happen now that he's well, he was just saying that shit.
But it's a very easy thing for him to do.
He loves tariffs. He doesn't understand them. He did, he
did a lot of them his first term. It's a
good he thinks it's a good way for him to
look like he's strong against China, which is you know,
followers love and it's it's baffling because it's wrong, it's
and it's stupid. And then they put tariffs on us.
It causes a trade war. But you know, who knows.
We don't know what's gonna happen, and that is maybe
worse for getting these companies to make decisions about what's
going to happen next because they hate uncertainty, especially Nintendo, and.
Speaker 2: It's just so hard to move this stuff up, right Jeff.
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, yeah you know, yeah, oh yeah once. It's
like they like having this extra time because they they're like, hey,
we can use the extra time to decide this and
this having to hype, like having to speed up that
timeframe very difficult.
Speaker 2: Yeah, keV bought dot Lorg says mess boys. As I
watch this podcast and completely avoid work on my gis midterm,
what is something you guys like to do when you
are avoiding work? Please help me, loll.
Speaker 1: I usually like oot up an N sixty four emure later.
I just play a lot of old games like I've
played a million times before, or lay down on the floor.
I like to nap.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you just go to sleep.
Speaker 1: Just yeah.
Speaker 2: I had a nice nap today. I've been I've been
back on the naps, like I got to get out
of it. It's it's rough, but then NAP's I felt
so good. They've been so nice, and I've just been
feeling so tired again, probably because I'm staying up too
late playing metaphor.
Speaker 1: I know that's why it is, but I'm not gonna
stop doing that now. You're crazy. Yeah, you can't do that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh Ario Dogato says, what was the songs in the
beginning of the stream? What were you playing today?
Speaker 1: Jeff? It wasn't the songs. Titles weren't labeled. But it
is the Ultimate PlayStation Jungle Mix and it's from kme
as on YouTube, c ama z on YouTube. Excuse me.
It was uploaded a year ago, so just go look
up the Ultimate PlayStation Jungle Mix.
Speaker 2: And PlayStation one music is just so good and it's
it's wild because there's so many games, and yet there
is generally a singular vibe to a lot of it, right.
Speaker 1: I mean there's like it was just a lot of
game music at that time. You'll find a lot of
jungle music on N sixty four, but of course there's
more of it because you can fit more music on
a PlayStation CD. So yeah, PlayStation out of ton of it.
Speaker 2: George green Thumb says bat grub VR was exactly what
I needed today. I want Dan to direct a background.
That was a very fun stream. Jeff, Yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Was, you know, I was just kind of in there,
like I couldn't see what anyone was saying. All I
could the entire time all I heard was Dan giggling.
It was like everything was like everything I was doing
was making him good. Go to my aw right, maybe
this is working. I was hot and sweaty and disoriented
by the end of it, which is kind of what
you want from a VR stream.
Speaker 4: Do you like that game?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. I don't know if it's something I'm like, Oh,
I'm rushing to play it on my own time. That's
just kind of how I think I feel about most
VR games. But for a VR game, it is really
well done. It does make you feel cool, and you know,
I guess if I had infinite time, and maybe especially
if I was a bigger Batman fan, I definitely would
be into this. So if you are a Batman fan,
I think I could recommend it to them pretty easily.
Speaker 2: So just like watching you and watching you like free
walking around and like snap telepointed people as you punch them,
I was just like, man, it's some people are just
built differently than me. Because if everybody felt like I did,
this game would be illegal. It would make.
Speaker 1: Everything Lucy says she's playing it in ten minute increments
so that she doesn't make you sick.
Speaker 2: Yep, Man dexter h is high why the Square Enix
seemed to have no idea what Final Fantasy's identity should
be but seems to be known you with the dragon
Quest series.
Speaker 1: Yeah it is, we.
Speaker 2: Mentioned it earlier, but they really have been consistent, consistent
with dragon Quests.
Speaker 4: Because every Request game is the same, unlike the Final Fantasy.
I'm not saying in a bad way. I'm saying in
a good way. Every Final Fantasy changes, like this story changes,
the mechanics changes, and in drunk Quests it's the same
like pacing, Like you know, every Drunk Quest is at
a certain point you're gonna get a difficulty spike. It's sad.
So like they know what Dragon Quest is because it's
kind of reading the stone and Final Fantasy isn't.
Speaker 2: I do think, and as far I think the Final
Fantasy each entry being drastically different that has escalated, like
it used to be different than that. Yeah, it's different
story and characters and world and there's like some new
mechanics here, but there was a lot similar and you know,
like Final Fantasies four through nine. There is a lot
about those games that is very similar still at the
end of the day, and then they really started like
each one's gonna be different. And again I said before,
but I think their whole aversion to turn based. I'm
not saying they have to make a turn based game
to make it good. I don't understand why they act
like that's poison that is somehow never going to possibly
reach a wide audience. I don't think turn based is
this black hole that they.
Speaker 4: Act like that's so dumb. I hate that shit too,
Like you got the biggest game of last year a
couple of years being just turn based, Like everybody loves
round quizs. Can they just see their stuff and seeing
how much people love the shit of Dragon Quiz and
being like, oh maybe we can like still do old
stuff that people like it. It's not like John People
is going to be like immediately discussed by ton based.
I don't know, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: I think it's just you know, Final Fantasy is a
victim of its success, right. Final Fantasy was at one
point just like you know, the quintessential RPG, and then
Final Fantasy seven happened. It's like, no, this is the
world game game, not just genre defining, but define definition
of what a video game can be, and it needs
to do that every time. And those expectations have never
been placed on Dragon Quest, and so it was it
was free to just continue being dragon Quest, and Final
Fantasy was shackled to you gotta redefine everything every time
or else it's a waste of our time. And I
think at a certain point, I think pretty quickly Final
Fantasy fans were like, we're not asking for that, we're
not asking why are you, like just make another Final Fantasy.
Speaker 3: But Square NUKX just got in their head and they
never got away from it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're definitely super concerned about any of They said
this a lot about sixteen, like we want to make
a very pretty game, right, Like that was like a
big thing, Like that's what a lot of people Associhape
Off Facy with back when they were kids. That was
the prettiest game. And it's like, look, even if as
hard as you try, you're not can be able to
really do that. Anyways, you know, I wish they would
do things like you know, Dragon Quests. They released their
numbered entry on the Nintendo DS that one time, everybody
fucking loved it and it was ugly, like it was.
Speaker 1: A great Yeah, it's a good game.
Speaker 2: It's just a solid RPG that just goes Yeah, and
if ot facy will do that with spinoffs and stuff,
But yeah, I think I think maybe they need to
get a little bit more traditional with the number. Imagine
it'll be very interesting to see what Foul Fantasy seventeen
is like, because I cannot imagine they're going to go
further down this action roller coaster ride direction.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's yeah, the kind of thing where I think
that they just need to step back and recognize that
it's impossible to be genre defining at all anymore. You
just need to know your own game and your own voice,
and that's you know that has worked. It's why Nintendo
works so well, It's why Persona has worked, it's why
Dragon Quest has worked. You need to just get back
to that with Final Fantasy.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Next up here from Brian Lally's as High Biff and
Cheddar Boys. Been a rough few weeks being a social worker,
but it's always nice hearing you talk to games and
miss around. But it's appreciation, must appreciate it. Also Prime
Beef sliders at Crew Crew Cup Lounge is a Disney
must Jeff, he's talking about the Crew Cup Lounge at
the Beach Club Resort, which is one of the hotels
near Epcot. I'm not sure if you're gonna make it
over there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna. We're making it over to a few,
like we're one of the Polynesian for like that Moana
breakfast or something like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: O'hanna, that's great. And you can get doll whips in
that resort at this little outdoor stand.
Speaker 1: Listen, and I you know, one of my favorite things,
like when Mike has their ninety ninety s podcast, is
when they talk about the resorts. So I love hearing
about those things. And I'm like, I want to see
those resorts. And that's, you know, definitely one I would
like to check out. But it will be difficult to get.
Speaker 3: Around to all of them for sure, so that might
not happen this time.
Speaker 1: We'll see.
Speaker 2: I'll see what I can have. That's one thing when
I was like kind of there by myself a couple
extra days after the rest of my family left, I
did just hop around sorts and I am amazing.
Speaker 1: Would that would very much appeal to me. But uh,
you know, I got the kids, got to keep them entertainment.
They're not gonna like that. As much as I would.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Brian for the kind words. Really
appreciate it. Sick Jake with the first super Chet think
you sick Jake says love Tetris Forever, but not having
the big game boy, any sports, I feel limits wider appeal.
What is a franchise compilation you think Digital Eclipse should
do next? Jesus fucking Christ.
Speaker 1: That Warrio?
Speaker 2: Sorry, even I knew, like I'm just doing Warrio. You
know what's fucked up. I could never do a Warrio
voice if I try.
Speaker 1: Never. I'm not great at voices either. So I really
I sympathize with this because it's like, yeah, I feel
the same way very frequently.
Speaker 3: Like if I try to do an old voice right now, it.
Speaker 1: Would be really bad. Yeah, listen, I would. I haven't
played a ton of the games in Touch forever. I
would recommend getting Tutes Forever for the history lesson. Like
I am an old man, So I do get excited
when like PBS is like we have a new documentary
series from documentary series. Guy, He's like you know he's
doing a one on baseball. Now, I'm like, well, how
many parts is it. They're like it's twelve bucking parts.
Like oh my god, oh yeah, oh my god. So
this what Mike Micah and the team over there are
doing with video games is the equivalent of that. This
has been so much fun to get so many cool
little tidbits of history, awesome interviews. They are done in
little splices, little chunks, so it just kind of goes
and goes and goes, and you get deeper and deeper
and you find out it's like, oh, Henk Rogers was
able to like get all this stuff done because he
played Go and he read in a Newspaper's wife read
a newspaper that hiroshiyama Uchi, the president of Nintendo, played Go,
and so he's like, I mentioned, I'll make a Go game,
And that was how I got an interview the next
day with hiroshiyama Uchi because I knew that was the key.
And then I became a friend of his by playing
Go with him, and everyone else would leave, including his
handlers who usually tell him not to say stuff, and
I was able to have like good business dealings with him.
And I'm like, oh, my god, this isn't credible history.
I'm so glad I'm getting to learn this stuff. And
then the bike. Oh and I also made this made
this Go game and it was, you know, a nine
by nine mini go for the anti as. I'm like, man,
I wish you could play that. And then a few
screens later like here's Mike Micah programming a version of
this game that has been emulated for this collection. Go
ahead and play it, and Okay, fantastic it rules. They
do such a good job with this stuff. Area five
did the video interviews. I'm highly recommended. Just don't go
in there being like this is gonna be my all
encompassing Tetris game collection. They have some cool Tetris games
in there, for sure, a lot of cool Tetris games,
but get it for the history lesson. It's really awesome.
Speaker 2: I have that one installed on the switch and definitely
want to check it out this weekend. I think it's
gonna be great on there, just in terms of which ones,
what series I would like. I would love some old
PC shit like Ultima. I'd be really interested to get
some Ultimate Like there's been some good Madular has been
doing good videos about Ultima, but I still love some
more like official stuff in King's Quest. Gosh, I'm an
old venture game freak. I'd love to get some kings
for stuff, even like the parser games right where you
literally had to type out stuff like pick up rock right. Yep, yeah,
I mean I'd be into that shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean I think like that era, like Sierra
and Lucas Arts, that those would maybe be ripe and
also quite possible. Like those feel like like a possible
like thing that could happen. I mean my dream would
be early Nintendo games, you know, the early black Box collection. Yeah, yes, exactly,
that would rule, but probably not gonna happen.
Speaker 2: Screaming mad and says how many games have you two
beat this year? I'm currently at a personal record of
thirty seven games, with most recent games being Bilatro Alimitor
both dual for n s NSL, and Super Metroid. Hey,
it's really good. I never like keep track of this stuff.
I know, I've been finishing a lot of games this year, though, gosh,
I mean it's gotta be twenty. And then there's spent
some old stuff too, like some of these Soul games
or or what have you. Is like randomly playing Sam
and Max hit the Road Again and stuff like that.
But I think I've been a pretty good boy with
this stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was on a really good role earlier in
the year. In the first half of the year, I
was finishing quite a lot, So I think I'm probably
pretty close to like fifteen or twenty myself. But I've
done slowed down in the last few months. Is like
a bunch of stuff is traffic jam together, and I'm
like like three quarters of the way done with several
games at this point, many of which I intend to
go back to.
Speaker 2: Got a beat Thousan in your door.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 2: Cody Bishop says, feeling better after election depression, going away.
Check out Empire of the Ants, very chill, ultra realistic
game we play as an ant god. I would love that.
I love ants. I love their weird high mind shit.
I love their tunnels. I love that one year where
we got two cartoon movies about ants. Ants are cool.
Speaker 3: Oh you're a huge Woody Allen fans.
Speaker 2: Yeah No, No, No, Semester stalone, Semester stallone. I've never
seen a Woody Cowen movie aside from me Ants. I
think actually that's also very funny.
Speaker 1: I like that too, Empire Vance of the answer is
one I want to play. You know, if I'm out,
I would recommend Hey, jam, that'd be a good a
upf or something sometime. But if I come back and
they haven't played it yet, I will try to get
in on that.
Speaker 2: People still like get ant colonies that used to be
more of a thing.
Speaker 1: I feel like I bet they do, But I bet
it's like I bet it's like science kits, right, Science
kits used to be much less regulated.
Speaker 3: We had fun stuff in it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and and there are fewer nerds. Yeah sure, and
uh but but like I bet, there's like more regulation
about ant ant colonies these days, so maybe it's a
little bit harder to get your hands on.
Speaker 4: I kind of want to an nineteen eighty four or
over again. Can't have my end?
Speaker 2: Burrito says, here's your money, Mike for the Jordi accent
mixed by day, any day, all the time. Def Triangle
will come to you. Just Rex's Mike and your Hitler
Warrior boys. Please say who told you you could eat
my cookie?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: Let me try like Arnold, try to be Arnold Swartzenegger
told Cookie.
Speaker 5: What sort of deep South bullshit that.
Speaker 1: It sounds exactly like that Hitler meme. Oh Man, Jesus
Christ cheat cheek.
Speaker 2: Zeko says dogs are sentient. Approach them as such. That
is all you're that pen of your sentient.
Speaker 1: Where are you? I think I treat all animals I
interact with as like, with like the same respect I
would give a human for the most part, Like maybe
I'm not like.
Speaker 4: I did it with more respect exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, so that they'll do that, I'll do They'll
do what I can.
Speaker 2: Austin Taylor says Golden Idol is awesome. If you're on
the fence, get the cheapest month of Netflix and play
it on your phone.
Speaker 1: That's right Netflix already.
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, okay, I do think I want to maybe
I'll like stream the first like case and see how
I feel.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, go for it. That's a good idea. I mean,
it might be one where it's like you might have
more fun without the pressure of like having to look
smart on stream for that, but at least that's how
I would be. But go for it. Uh.
Speaker 2: Connor Wood says, now do Australian warrior, I need at
me look up quotes from crocodial knife.
Speaker 1: This is a knife? Uh?
Speaker 2: And then I'll see what what is it again? I
had to do an Australian, you know, an Australian Schwarzeneggers
have to think about it, which is very difficult. Get
to the.
Speaker 1: Gosh. She oboriginies don't own the land.
Speaker 2: They belong to it. It's like the mother. I don't
know what the fuck that is. That's incredible. Imagine I
sound like it's sound like I'm Scott. That's incredible. Imagine
seven million people all wanted to live together. Yeah, New
York wants to be the frontliest place on US.
Speaker 5: I thought the VGC podcast is playing from my phone
or something.
Speaker 1: Scooge mc dot, Jordan Middler ass motherfucker?
Speaker 5: Oh god?
Speaker 4: What was asked for every every every boys and an
impression has to be like at least five bucks in
the super chel we.
Speaker 2: Wow, our first super chat ever. What you got a
deal for that? Chuck Tasky with five bucks? Uh, says
I heard. We're artificially extending the show with super chant. Hey,
what do you think? It's the best selling game that
has also been played the least.
Speaker 1: I think I have a good guest here. I think
I have a good guest Spore. I get man, that's
pretty good.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Oh, Patrick forty chat said your voices are a hate crime.
Speaker 2: I thought, look, that is absolutely not true, not true.
I want to look up the best like games of
all time real quick. It's like, which one of these? Gosh,
what would be for me to broken?
Speaker 4: Do you think the redemption two might be up there?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I mean that's the most if anything.
Speaker 3: I don't know if the most play.
Speaker 1: Hey, I don't.
Speaker 3: I think sport is good to mechanized, but we're freaks.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's absolutely true. God, I don't think I
can beat Spore. Although Connected Ventures sold twenty four million copies,
I think I'm going to say Connected Adventures.
Speaker 1: Some of those like like, oh, okay, how about this
what is the what was that we game that came
with the controller? Oh?
Speaker 2: We Sports Resort?
Speaker 1: No, we play, we play, we play? Yeah, we plays
a good one. That one's like, you know, maybe maybe
that one's not in the spirit of the question, because
like people are buying it for the controller. But sure,
you know, just by you know.
Speaker 2: Letter of the law, that's probably it. Actually, I think
that's pretty good. Zeke is back with saying Buck Height.
Oh but Exegiel, Buck Height, it's a buck Hite. Love
you thoughts are the best. Thank you, Buck Height. I
appreciate it.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: That's it for Supertest from now. Everybody, if you want
to send more, we will get to them before the
end of the show.
Speaker 1: Back to you, Jeff.
Speaker 3: All right, we're gonna take another break when we come back.
Speaker 1: Don't worry. Like Mike said, we'll read any more super
chests at some point, but first we got a little game.
We're gonna do the mount rushmore of poll quotes, the
mount rushmore of box quotes on games. You know, we
got a lot of good submissions, and you know, maybe
like absurd box quotes, not like just oh iconic, because
I don't know, but yeah, I think this is inherently absurd.
So you'll get the idea pretty quickly as we start
reading some of these. Everybody, we'll do this right after this.
Nictwartzda says, what does a TUPA? I got it there somehow.
Speaker 2: That was fine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you do like get to the chap like
kindergarten coparner. Arnie's pretty easy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, big diddy, I will get years later, don't worry.
I'm not saying I just will say your Marison now and.
Speaker 1: I feel bad. We're doing be ditties right now.
Speaker 2: If you're into those old DOS adventure games, you usually
check out the exa Doss Project. It's collection over seven
thousand DOS games that run on an array of DOSS simulators.
We're great on modern PCs. But boy, that does sound
like my shit. Be Diddy by the way, Be Diddy,
do you know about the biddies from who Villopoly?
Speaker 4: Check it out to a break right now?
Speaker 1: Now the break started there, you go, all right, we're back,
and here's what we're gonna do, mount rushmore of box
quotes or poll quotes, uh, basically the quotes that often
get put on the box art for video games, mostly
from previews, occasionally from reviews when they're like a game
gets reprinted or something like that. We'll get we'll give
some examples here as we go pretty soon, but I think, well,
let's just do a couple of mic or if you
have any I know you're saying it might have a ton,
but we'll also get a ton of help from the
podcast producers. Yeah.
Speaker 2: There, So the one I did want to bring up,
what's for stunt man. The pool quote is from GameSpy
and it says, we have one word stunt man rocks.
Speaker 1: I love this one from the man Rocks. So that
one's pretty good, uh, game spy and then stunt man.
All right, there we go.
Speaker 2: It's like frecking fill from Hercules.
Speaker 1: It's good, right, It's it's like what happens there is
like someone like just writes the review. They don't think
about it very much. Sometimes occasionally they're like, yeah, I
mean my audience will read this whatever. Maybe it's not
the most perfectly edited thing. And then some marketer somewhere
sees it and like, I'm putting that on the box
and now it's mortalized and you can't edit it once
it's on a box, Like there's no fixing it at
that point, and you end up with this, all right.
Speaker 3: The one I would definitely put up there is ill,
I should just get it.
Speaker 1: Let me let me grab this here. I don't know.
Speaker 2: No boy oh boy exciting, especially as he never shared
his camera with me and discords. I'm only watching his
video feed.
Speaker 1: Okay, I can do that. Let me.
Speaker 2: I see it, I see it, I see it.
Speaker 1: There you go. It's Ikaruga our frothing demand for this
game increases from very.
Speaker 2: Good frothing demand for this game increases. Goduga rules, look.
Speaker 1: At that Sugar does rule. I like the game, and
I like this quote and it's like literally hanging on
my wall and a framed pitch. Is this what inspired
this whole topic? I definitely something that is always pinging
around in my head. But no, there was one I
saw recently and now it's bothered me because I haven't
been able to think of it exactly what it was
all day. I'm hoping maybe some one of the podcast
producers mentioned it and pops loose there's one I saw,
and I'm like, God, that's so stupid. We should do
the mount rushmore of box quotes. But yeah, this is
definitely the one I would have put as the George
Washington for sure, So let me put that in here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, God, that is incredible frothing demand. That's like,
that's actually good, right, I like that.
Speaker 1: Exactly right, Yeah, it's it's and it became a meme
right away because it is like both absurd, but it's
also good writing evocative. You're right, and it's uh, it's
just very easy to like mention that and then everyone
goes ah like garuga quote our frothing demand for this
game increases, right, increases increases, and then it's IGN dot
com Karuga, my god, it created a linked igi and uh, okay,
I do have one other one that I'll mention. Uh,
and it's for a far Cry was a far Cry three? Uh,
Skyrim with guns?
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, that really did sell the game for a
lot of people. But god, it's far the far Christer
really happened after Skyrim. That doesn't seem like the right
timetable to me.
Speaker 1: Maybe it was. It could have been a far Cry four,
but I think it was far Cry three because that
was the whole thing. Is like, that was the one
that really broke out, but it was.
Speaker 2: Well, you're right, Farkar three is absolutely man, fark three
is twenty twelve. I don't know why I thought it
was earlier than that. Okay, yeah, obsolutely right? Then is
Skyrim mcguns chat?
Speaker 1: Help you remember who said Skyrim guns? I think I
want to say it was like games Radar or something
like that. I'm just gonna put that there and if
that's wrong, I will update it. And that is for
far Cry three.
Speaker 2: Uh, it was from It was by Adam Kovik of
the Machinema YouTube channel.
Speaker 1: Oh right, Machinema. Yeah, okay, all right, how about that?
Speaker 2: How about them apples?
Speaker 1: How about them?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: Okay, that's very good. Okay, you know what, let's we'll
just hop over now to the discord start getting their input.
Chat help me keep track of this, and Mike, if
you want me to put one on the list, I will. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think the first one is the other one I
would have brought up, although it's hard to pinpoint just
one from this exactly.
Speaker 1: So the first one here from Dan Fiasco is the
Game of the Year edition of Batman Arkham City, and
I gotta tell you I was. I was killing time
there a little bit to try to remember, like which
Batman this is, because it's legitimately hard to tell which
Batman game this is just by looking at the cover
because it's shoved off to the side and wedge between
between a list of the bonus content that takes up
like one third of the right side, and then several
massive box quotes, most of them though, like scores like
ten out of ten from Game Informer I think, and
five out of five one of the greatest games ever
made period and five out of five a must own
and then Game of the Year those are and those
are just in like forty five point font on the
cover and is lack a white batman between all that?
Speaker 2: It is disgusting, right, yeah, it's so oppressive to look
at this fucking box art. God, we could do a
man worst box art and it would be this and
that Castlevania Donnasarro's like couldnot be collected thing where it's
just a picture, a picture the box is a picture
of the box.
Speaker 1: It's incredible, It's perfect. I love that, so I want
to get that and have the physical copy really bad.
Oh yes, people love this one. Forty winks for the PlayStation,
a game that everyone remembers. Evo Janis brought this up.
The box quote is move over, Mario from the Nintendo
Official Magazine, the.
Speaker 2: Official Nintendo magazines. What the hell is the Nintendo Official Magazine?
Isn't that just Nintendo Power.
Speaker 1: It's got to be the UK, Europa, European Magazine or
something like that. There was there was a box quote
where it was like that I was going to bring
up that's like it was from like the game and
former German edition and that was like like printed on
the cover of one of the video games. But I
don't have that anymore. All right, Screaming Madden says blows
away last year's game from the Wall Street Journal on
the cover of Madden twelve. I like that a lot.
That's very funny.
Speaker 2: Hey, this is the one year the Browns were on
the cover because it was like a big poll tournament
and somehow the Browns won that.
Speaker 1: So that's what I really remember.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so there we are.
Speaker 1: I like that. Oh yeah, Peyton hillis right, yeah, god,
all right, DK's Wild Hog right in with Super Smash Brothers.
Is this a box quote? Do get out as your
favorite Nintendo characters? I think that's just marketing, right.
Speaker 2: Well that's a box quote. Well you're talking about his
pool quotes, right.
Speaker 1: Poll quotes? Yeah? Sure, yeah, I mean but this is
not a quote, right, They're not quoting someone. This is
just them saying something Nintendo marketing. Yeah, yeah, maybe, but yeah,
fair enough. Chris two K. I think it's doing a
goof here Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker, and this one has
a box quote from a Jeffrey Grubb. This is Captain
Toad Treasure Tracker is Nintendo's cutest.
Speaker 2: Risk ever of weird deerrotomic sense.
Speaker 1: I don't remember anything about this. This seems like a
fake to me, because I would remember revealing a video game.
Of course, Dad Strobot has Yes, this is a good one.
A Tribe's Aerial assault and the box quote is goodbye
Halo man.
Speaker 2: And I like tries, but this was like the weird
console only tribes that I even forgot about. So that's incredible. Yeah,
that one I think may need to be considered good
Halo Tribes.
Speaker 1: Good Bye Halo. That's from who is that from? There
was as a good quote.
Speaker 2: The picture here is pretty small. Let me see tribes
assault box. I'll figure this out.
Speaker 1: And that tribes aerial assault.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be on the back version aerial A
E R I A L. It's okay, that's what I thought.
It's from the official US PlayStation magazine. Okay, I wonder
why they would say something like that, but they were.
There was just that whole era where they PlayStation fans
and PlayStation themselves were just desperate to have a Halo killer,
and they specifically called about all they talked about.
Speaker 1: Oh right, yeah, this is okay. So from a Bend
seven and it's a guy. It's like some horse racing game.
And yeah, okay, here's the code. If you're ready for
a racing title, that's a change of pace. This is
it sounds right.
Speaker 2: Of all the video games, this is one of them
that's the equivalent of that. Hey, I know you usually
play car racing games. This one has horses.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's ones where you go fast and they're exhilarating.
This is not that. This is a horsey one. Yeah,
I love this.
Speaker 4: This is from Craig Craig Hansen at sonyweb dot com.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Sony web dot com dot com.
Speaker 1: What's the name? What's the name of the game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good question. I don't know's it's. Oh
it's Gallup Racer two thousand and one. I'm reading the boss.
Speaker 1: Okay, ready for a racing that's change of pace.
Speaker 2: I wonder about Golf Race two thousand and two was won?
If it had some improvements?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it will have to this mine.
Speaker 1: Okay, there we go. Let's keep going here. From Tea
money og here it is the frothing, our frothing. Demand
for this game increases from igene dot com for Ikarugah
absolutely uh oh yeah, this one too. Okay, Outlaw Golf too.
This is from David Tell, the comedian and the host
of whatever that that's showing Comedy Central. Outlaw Golf blows
away all other golf games. It's lude crude and freaking fun,
is it? That?
Speaker 5: Is it?
Speaker 1: That lude? I mean there's no guesses, girls and like, right,
the golf and bikinis, which I think David very titillated by. Yes, yeah, yeah, yes, insomniac.
David's insomniac. Yeah, incredible man for the.
Speaker 2: Person I thought that Golf was only on Xbox.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. Yeah it does. I don't remember
it as a PlayStation game at all. Mostly I remember, though,
I remember it mostly is a video game magazine ad
because I never played out Load.
Speaker 4: This game looks like the most product of his time
video game ever. You know, he has to have the
ladies and all that kind of stuff, has to.
Speaker 1: Be like mean, yep, yes, right, like oh yeah, we're
we like actually he's right, very crude. Yes, all right,
let's see music with Friends has Mega man three Mike,
what's the you know the box quote on here?
Speaker 2: Or I think it's a saying about the the Mega
Man refunds Mega Mans when you purchase Capcom games details inside.
It's funny because magazine's a fairy vey game.
Speaker 1: Ever.
Speaker 2: I look, I've seen this box many times, and I
know that there's that like yellow line with text on it.
I don't think I've ever read it.
Speaker 1: Before written incredible that rules. I love that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just always have blazed over it.
Speaker 1: Yep, Jamie h Christmas Eve has Mace Griffin. Uh and
and let's see here, Mace Griffin is Halo for PlayStation two.
It's that good and that's where I'm obsessed, Jeff. And
even this right, this is Halo for PlayStation two.
Speaker 2: I at least kill Zone actually like it got closer
than most things I suppose, But man, they really wanted
to have Halo for PS two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this says PSW. Is that PlayStation Web or
PlayStation World? God?
Speaker 2: Who can know?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Can? Who can? N?
Speaker 4: Ps I two says? Is it exceptional?
Speaker 1: Do you know ps I two? Yeah?
Speaker 5: I guess they.
Speaker 2: I guess they were just PS size And then Zoo
Console keep by. Well, we gotta change our name ship.
Speaker 1: All right, from Slain Micromachines to Turbo tournament. Is this
the cover of the game? I guess he circled one
of it here. It's got like this looks like an
ad in like a to for like toys r US
for this game.
Speaker 4: It looks like bus. It looks like a picture of
a bus.
Speaker 1: I think it is. Yeah, Let's see if I can
zoom in on this gameplay rating ninety overall rating. Probably
the most playable game in the whole world.
Speaker 5: What fuck?
Speaker 1: Probably the most oh yeah, in the whole world. And
that's from game Master magazine.
Speaker 4: If from the game Master, I see, you know, it's
the real shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's uh for uh what's the name of
the game? Micromachines to Turbo Tournament Okay, and it never.
Speaker 2: Plays games much, but people really like them. It turns out.
I feel like I missed out on something.
Speaker 1: Turbo Tournament. There was one where it's like I think
I'm for the N sixty four where you could have
eight people holding like like four in sixty four controllers,
So two people would share one in sixty four controller
and they would use like the shoulder button and then
like either the C buttons or the D pad.
Speaker 2: God, that sounds like the sort of thing that you
would think about all the time.
Speaker 1: I think about it all the time time, constantly. I've
never done it.
Speaker 2: Still I really want to do it, like really sometime
next time. I'm should set that up.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, it's fantastic, let's make it happen, all right, Symbiosis.

by those lazy developers in Nintendo, so fuck them. Didn't
mean to laugh. I just saw the next one, all right,
from Armored from Ali Miracle for Armored Core five, I'm
heavy or not at all? And then uh, what looks
like maybe some French yeah, which I think maybe is
saying the same thing. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Oh, I know, I know you're looking more for like
pool clutter of journalists. But boy, I like this, Jeff, yeah,
I'll I'll throw it on there.

memorable marketing for a video game.

Rainbow six Vegas put together. GamePro dot Com.
Speaker 2: Man, this was the time where we were saying things
like awesomeness non ironically huh yeah, it was a it
was a bad time.
Speaker 1: Yeah a game.
Speaker 2: Man, Man, this game that's a pretty good one that
one might be considered because that is just what does
that even mean?
Speaker 1: This game? And also it's like, could you man writing
that when we were being edited by Dan schu he
would have beaten us. He would No, he wouldn't, but
but he might have gotten out a hose and just
whipped us with it. All right, let's see here the game.
The game is ripe with more awesomeness. Is that what
it says?
Speaker 2: The game is with more awesomeness than Gears of War
and Rabos six Vegas put together put together.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all the one of the others if you're
using it that way. But whatever, GamePro dot com and

half naked ladies. Yeah yeah, look at this digital cleavage
from astro Wolf five.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what game is. The PlayStation can produce
mind boggling effects.
Speaker 2: This is just like before the systems coming out. Just yeah,
but the most low point did you can possibly imagine?
Speaker 1: I remember seeing this before, and I remember laughing at this, just.
Speaker 5: Seeing the skelet that's from medium.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that makes sense. So man, okay, did I wolf?
Did I tweet this? There's a chance I might have
just tweeted this because I love this image? Uh from Weizman? Uh,
this is just the box quote is just the name
of the game, Hey, punk, are you tough Enough? Yeah?
Speaker 2: They were like, what if we just named the game that?
I think the game is just called tough Enough?
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2: It's just somehow they got that character from my hero
Acadamion the covered years before that hill. It's all it's And.
Speaker 3: Then the subtitle here is Master the moves to mass
through me.
Speaker 1: What is this game?
Speaker 5: Master?
Speaker 1: It sounds like a up.
Speaker 2: It's a bad beat him up.
Speaker 1: It's on Nso yeah, that's I think you're right, Yeah totally.
Speaker 2: Is that?
Speaker 1: Is this drawn by that guy the Marvel artist that
the canter off feet Feld? Yeah, yeah, it looks a
lot like it kind of there's no feet, there are
no feet, that's right, okay, Uh okay. Matt in the
rare Zendless Zone has bubbsy three D here with a
quote from EGM that says, stunning original Bubbs three D
climbs back to the top. Check it out. That's just
a lie. How dare you? EGM? I now there are
some ellipses here. I wonder if it's like my uh
disgust was stunning and the just and the the vomit
that I produced was original.
Speaker 2: Yeah, can you there's another quote here under the gold
ex a wharf in placation Extreme says one of the
sleeper hits of ninety five Inexperience that no action platform
gamer should miss.
Speaker 1: Jesus, thank you so much.
Speaker 4: Yeah, ninety six actually get a rye.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2: I always had like, I don't know what it was.
I always didn't like place tasted extreme and I don't
know why. I even bet that I rolled my eyes
at their title, like, oh yeah, you're real extreme?
Speaker 1: Yeah mad? Yeah, okay, so uh let's see here. And
rare Monkey says he thinks that that quote from me
Jim is Chris Johnson, and I think I remember they
making fun of him on a player one podcast for
giving bubbs three d a pretty good review and I think, like,
like one of the highest reviews that bubbsy three D got.
So yeah, that's fun.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: Clink has a Dead Island Game of the Year edition
here and from Zoo it says, gut wrenchingly brilliant, and
from Nuts Zombie Game of the Year.
Speaker 4: The fuck is nuts?
Speaker 5: This real?
Speaker 4: You know these games to joke around?
Speaker 1: Oh man, they just made these up. Zoo is real.
I think these are European like lad bags, of course
what I think they are, because like that that eighteen
rating is a European much country.
Speaker 3: But Zombie Game of the Year from Nuts is pretty good.
Speaker 1: I like that quite a bit.
Speaker 4: From I think the outlet is more fun is way
more funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that definitely what kind of gets it there? I
don't know, Zombie Game of the Years, I just I
think that's like a funny thing to say as well.
But yeah, all right, you guys able to read this.
Devil may Cry five Special one.
Speaker 2: It says the newest action game in the series feels
like a dream to play. By Game Informer. Yeah, why
they specified newest action game in the series. I just
say the newest game in the series.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, you know, for all those turn based Double
Make Cry games, is.
Speaker 2: There a single Double May Cry spin off game?
Speaker 1: God don't, I don't know. I don't think so, I
don't Yeah, I mean no, real, Yeah, there's mobile uh
from Adam Asleep, and I think this is a one
where like they have the okami is this where they
have the IGN logo in the back.
Speaker 2: There is where they just got the the art for
this for this box art from my GN and they're
like kind of like use the stamp toom photoshop to
get rid of the logo, but not good enough so
you could still see the i GN logo on it
and they had to like send out replacements. It was
pretty funny.
Speaker 1: Chat. Remind me one day we'll do like the mount
rushmore of bad box art or box art screw ups.
And maybe Capcom might have three out of the four
slots so they might well do that. Oh, this is
a good one. The thing Replaystation two from bread Fish
here who here's the quote? This is.
Speaker 3: Oh I did I skip a couple? Well, I skip
a bunch?
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, well let me get this all right from
Hammond of Texas Rogue Warrior. Let's see here, I am
the wrathful god of combat and not the amount of war.
Yeah that might be like an actual quote of the
because this isn't this game based on a real guy
or some shit like that.
Speaker 4: Oh right, Yes, it's like the book. The book guys
the same as Sniper Guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they're related.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's the I don't know why French
is funny to.
Speaker 1: Dick Marcinko, Yeah, Dick Marcinko says, I am the wrathful
god of combat. It's a funny thing to put on
your game bench. JC has Bust to Move ArKade two
edition so addictive it should be illegal. It looks like drugs. Man.
Speaker 2: I do think about this box all the time, with
these bubbles, with the human faces with it, with their
eyeballs being like hold open by tiny sticks and they're screaming.
It's incredible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's very also very evocative.
Speaker 2: It was like it's like, hey, let's just get the
magazine ad people to do the box art right exactly.
Speaker 1: Yes, the people doing those magazine ads and people are
talking about they let's let's just reuse that. Speaking of that,
the Tetris game also has a good bit about how
like the marketing team for the first version of Tetris
that was kind of illicitly like sins without them knowing. Uh.
They positioned it as like this is one of the
first things to ever come out of the USSR and
the U s s R is secretly using to take
using it to take over the United States because it's
so addictive. They're like, we made all that, we made
all that ship up, and no one in Russia knew
we were saying this ship. I'm like, okay, perfectible. Willow
Davis the uh cod the Fruity Pebbles commercial game for
the Nintendo Switch, and the quote is I missed the
world when there was still love left in it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a tiny quote here. Sometimes you simply know
when you just recorded the worst podcast in prehistory.
Speaker 1: Shoutouts em n yeah, shot shout outs. Run for sure,
I did. I started singing this the other day and
STEP's like, wait, what is that?
Speaker 4: I know that?
Speaker 1: So I just stopped the whole family. Yeah that's the
second one said. Oh I'm haha hungry And she's like, wait,
why do I know that? And I gathered I gathered
the whole family together the family room and made him
watch the commercial and the kids were like, okay, I
like Fruity Pebbles and stuff like that. Yeah, I need
to watch his commercial gids. YEP. I just this is
like two days ago from Taraiaki Blues Shimagami tense tense. Uh,
Lucifer's Call featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series.
Speaker 2: Again, I think this is fake. Yeah, it was a
noc turn called Lucifer's Call and other territories. This is
just a yeah, this is small three knock Yeah, interesting,
I guess there. Let's just name it after Satan.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, isn't there a lot of Satan in the games?
In these games?
Speaker 4: Sure, yes, absolutely, it's full on, like fucking Satan is around.
Speaker 1: There is a mount rushmore for these kinds of things.
We will do that. Okay, now we're at Breadfish the Thing.
This is one intense action slash horror game. You gotta
play this one man. It'll blast you against the wall.
And that's from the Thing direct John Carpenter. Yeah, let's
see plays a lot of games. He would know. I mean,
it's basically just a review. But I'll say get it.
Speaker 5: It is funny.
Speaker 2: This person that's as this person who got paid money
because of this game's creation.
Speaker 1: Right, and and he's famously loves getting paid money for
not doing a lot of works, which I respect. But
more than anything, the game was good though, right, it
is getting remastered. Yeah, that's happening soon, if not very soon. Okay,
let's go through the real quick and then let's start
just putting some up in the on the Mount Rushmore.
We have one word Stuntman Rocks from game Spy for
stunt Man our frogging. Demand for this game increases from
I g in dot com for Ikaruga Skyrim with Guns,
from Mainema for far Cry three. Goodbye Halo forgot. We're
gonna have a lot of these. We have to just
pick one of the Halo obsessed ones. Oh good, I
know it was gonna win that thing. Official US PlayStation
magazine Tribes Aerial Assault. If you're ready for a racing title,
that's a change of pace. This is it from sonyweb
dot com for gallop Racer two thousand and one. Mace
s Griffin is Halo for PlayStation two. It's that good
PSW for Mace Griffin. Bounty Hunter probably the most playable
game in the whole world. A Master magazine for Micromachine
two Turbo Turbo Tournament Come Heavier, not at all, Armored
Corp five Halo with Chips, Maxim Magazine for stat and
I had entered an interior parenthetical here a fucking poker game.
The game is ripe with more awesomeness than Gears of
War and Raybo six Vegas put together GamePro dot Com
for stranglehold. Put Halo with chips up there right now.
That is incredible. Oh my god. Okay, Halo with chips
for Maxim magazine, which that is also a good kicker
there for stacked a fucking poker game. I think we
probably can lock in our frothing demand as well, right, yeah,
our frothing demand is good. I have partial to that
stupid stunt man one. I don't know if you think
it's good enough. No, I do. It's when I was like,
when I was looking them up earlier, trying to remember one,
this is the one I saw and definitely like a
bookmarked in my brain as like that's when I love
this way.
Speaker 2: Uh the micro Machet two when made us laugh a
lot again. Yeah, it probably is that.
Speaker 1: Let's see here, it's a probably the most playable game
in the whole world. Yeah, that's really good. Okay, So
that leaves off the sky Ring with guns. Goodbye Halo.
If you're ready for a racing game, just to change
your pace, Mace Griffin is Halo for PlayStation two, come
heavier night at all and this game is right with
more awesness. No, I think we have it.
Speaker 2: I think that's pretty good, and I think we got
up Matt Redsmore. I'm still glad we did this just
to discover the Halo with Chips game.
Speaker 1: Yes, I might that might be in the next one.
I get framed on my walls.
Speaker 3: I want that real bad. Okay, So Mike, go ahead
and read these real quick.
Speaker 2: The Mott Rushmore of Video Game cover box quotes Halo
with Chips Maxim Magazine on stacked a fucking poker game.
Our froth think demand for this game me creases. That's
ign on Ikaruga. We have one word Stuntman rocks. That's
GameSpy on stunt Man. And then probably the most playable
game in the whole world, that's a game Master on
micro machine to Turbo Turbo tournament. Yes, incredible, very good
work there, Mike.
Speaker 1: You glad we have that. I'll get that posted up
on the Blue Sky on Twitter for everybody. We're gonna
take one more break. We'll come back after that. We'll
catch up on any super chips that might have come
in and we'll talk about what we've been playing. All right,
we're back, Mike. What have you been playing?
Speaker 4: Um?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did actually check out all those Warcraft free
mesters that just shadow dropped yesterday. Warcraft wanted two brand
new ring Masters, and Warcraft three or four has got
a big two point zero update. So I kind of
spent like forty five minutes with like each of them.
It's kind of messing around.
Speaker 1: I was pretty impressed.
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people don't like the look
of the Warcraft one and two remasters, like the new graphics.
I don't know if it's just kind of like two
cartoony drun stuff or if it's AI slop. I'm not
sure it doesn't. It doesn't bother me as much as
bar some people. But you can just use the old graphics.
It just at first when you switch over, it like
lowers the resolution. You have a border, but you can
even turn that off, so it is just still the
new widescreen view with the old graphics, and I think
it looks great when you do that. Now, you know
Warcraft fans, they could be intense and they might have
like a list of like he reasons why this doesn't
hold up I don't know, but just playing it and
having an excuse to go back to some old rts,
and I've been kind of hankering for it. I thought
that they played very they thought they played good, and
I thought that the whole thing worked really well for me.
And again like, yeah, I prefer the old graphics.
Speaker 5: You know that is there.
Speaker 2: If the new graphics do bother you, which they seem
to for a lot of people, then reforgs like you know,
their force was a mess at first, right, it was
an absolute mess playing it now and again like I
don't know what the Warcraft three people know. Those people
are intense. I like a lot of them are actually
like friends of mine. I grew up with people who
love Warcraft three, so they might play it and see
a lot of issues. I'm playing it now and I'm like,
this just seems to work now and again, I can
use the old graphics and they upress that stuff, and
I'm like, okay, I am just playing Warcraft three good.
I'm happy in that one. The new graphics they don't
even they look pretty good, honestly. The one thing I
don't maybe love is the character portraits because they're so
high detailed in a way I don't really associate with
warcrafts aesthetic warcraft has always been a little cartoony and exaggerated,
and I I was like that about it. But again,
I can just use the old stuff here if I
want to. So I think in general, like forty dollars
for this battle chest, now you get the three remasters,
you can play all these games. It seems pretty good
to me, But again, I don't know what the kind
of experts think.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it seems I was watching you play.
I think it seems pretty decent.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna like grab this and I play through these
games on my own pace a little bit. But I've
always wanted to. I will probably play on the old
graphics because you know, this is definitely what I thought,
and I see, you know, Sean says that it was
as well as like the new graphics look like what
people mean when they say it looks like a mobile game.
It's in you know. The constraints were part of it,
right that the the the lack of fidelity forced them
to get more creative, and then you had to fill
in the gaps with your mind's eye, and your mind's
eye did a lot of the heavy lifting, and that
was awesome because they you know that, they communicated a
lot of what was happening with the sprites and with
the world, and you didn't need more than that. And
when you just try to like fill in those gaps
through algorithms or through redrawing the art and just kind
of connecting the dots, you give us something that's too simple,
and it's like, oh no, you know, we were just
gesturing at something more complex, and just filling in those
gaps is not going to really do it for most people.
Speaker 3: Now that said doesn't super bother me because.
Speaker 1: I'm not someone who has put warcraft in the way
it looks on any sort of pedestal, But I also
haven't played it myself, so maybe once I'm playing, I'd
be like, ah, this actually is garish and ugly, But
like you keep saying, the original graphics are there and
just play that because it's that's totally viable. You can
completely play those games that way. So yeah, that's probably
the way I would do it.
Speaker 2: It reminds me a bit of like when they did
those Monkey Island remakes, and maybe maybe those gives us
a little bit better than that. But I didn't love
the new graphics. I played through it with that like
that one time. Now every time I go back to
those now, I just switch on the old graphics. I
much prefer that.
Speaker 1: You know what's funny.
Speaker 2: You remember when I was talking about how I think
I've seen a lot of seals die in my life. Yeah, yeah,
I think I saw that was actually because of Warcraft two.
You kill a lot of seals in that game. Really, Okay, Yeah,
there's I forgot how many seal killings happen in Warcraft two.
That's actually with the one that's like the asset that
looks the worst to me in the new graphics, the
Dead Seal art. It looks real weird looks that Dead
Seal looks much better in pixels now.
Speaker 1: It was like, so we were talking about this, and yeah,
the orchest are the ones that kill the seals, right,
they also kill a lot of sea lions, right, I
always mix those up whatever they can get.
Speaker 4: They be killing a lot different.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't like being called it, then they shouldn't
fucking kill, right, that's their fault. Anything else, Mike, that
you've been playing just a lot of metaphor.
Speaker 2: Again, I'm at the end game. There probably this time
next week, I imagine I'll have it finished, moving on
to Dragon Quests.
Speaker 1: Very excited to do that. Yeah. For me, it's been
Tetris forever and Rise of the Golden Idol in this
last week, and uh I talked about that a lot
in other places, but I do highly recommend Rise of
the Golden Idol, especially if you're someone who enjoys mysteries
and solving puzzles and solving mystery puzzles. They and it's
just such a strong style, and you know it is
these mostly static images. There's these static scenes, but you
can click in on the characters and get more information
about them, or they might be carrying some piece of
evidence that's important to it, and you know they will
animate in this really like wobbly way and it just
looks so cool. And I like the game because it
does give you all these pieces of evidence, but just
looking at the scene itself still does matter. Every detail matters,
and so you feel like the game appreciates your effort,
efforts to notice minor details. And so when you piece
things together, like is this thing I'm looking at this
way because the characters did this thing and that's why
it led to this conclusion, and as you begin to
have these jumps of logic, you begin to piece things
together like, oh my god, I think I have it,
and you start slotting in the words into the story,
which is basically the gameplay mechanic, and when it clicks
in and says, yeah, you got it right, it is
such an amazing feeling.
Speaker 3: And then on top of that, there's like meta reveals.
Speaker 1: About what's happening in the overall story that you have
that are then very shocking, and I feel very like, oh,
I'm more enthralled by this than ever because I discovered
this thing about this person and that has deeper implications
about what's going on in this world, and it does
it also does a very good thing of Hey, you
might have played Rise or the case of the Golden Idol,
where basically every scene was about what the Golden Idol
was doing and all the fucked up things it's capable of,
and the early parts of this game, the Golden Idol
has not really shown up in its full form yet,
so you're just kind of waiting around to be like, man,
when is that thing going to pop up and start
doing it's weird stuff, and so it's kind of hanging
out in the background like Jaws in Jaws, and uh, yeah,
that works really well for me as well. So loving
that game. It is.
Speaker 3: Just slotting into the slot I hoped I hoped it would.
Speaker 1: It's accomplishing everything it's going for and then and then yeah,
I'm gonna kind of keep I'm just gonna rush through that.
It's probably what I'm gonna be playing on the plane
and stuff here for the next couple of days when traveling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely do want to check it out, and
I will try to do that while you're gone at
some point here, so I'll have something to say about that.
Speaker 4: Did any of you play a drunk Quest?
Speaker 1: I have, No, I haven't started it.
Speaker 2: It started after I beat Metaphors so soon.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I play a little issues. It looks so good.
It's just every every remake needs to be this from
now on.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't. I wouldn't.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna accept anything else. I'm sorry, but every
remike that's out thepeg of this time, he has to
look like this.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, especially when you go into a dungeon and you
hold up the lantern and the shadow is like dynamic.
That shit kills me.
Speaker 5: It is so good. Uh sorry.
Speaker 1: On Blue Sky, I posted the Halo with Chips image
and said, hey watch the rest for the box quots
and the pill. Salvador on Blue Sky said, I have
been trying to track down this issue of Maximum for
our library, but I don't want to buy an entire
year of maxim to figure out what the issue, what
issue it's in. And that's we'll do it. That's and
that is Phil Salador from the Video Game History Foundation.
Uh So if anyone knows, okay, I love it, we'll
make it happen. We got a mission, fantastic, incredible, Well
you can find out they just made it. Never said
it's it's that TikTok THINGK. Who's gonna know, No one's
gonna know. Yeah, other than that, what was the other
game I said I was playing? I was Tetris forever.
I talked about that a little bit already. It's yeah,
very good. Uh, they're like they're kind of unparalleled in
this kind of work. And you know, Mike Micah is
known for being able to recreate these weird old games
and do a really good job at emulating emulating them,
and him having this venue to show off that skill
and to do that with strange games that even aren't
aren't even Tetris, but are part of the tapestry of
Tetris's history.
Speaker 3: Fucking rules. It's such a cool thing.
Speaker 1: And then you know, you also get to like I
got to play this emulated version of the original Electronica
sixty version of Tetris that he made for the Weird
Russian you know, the USSR computer that was based on
the PDB eleven that came out in nineteen eighties, like
fifteen years after the PDP eleven came out. And it's like, man,
I never even thought about playing this because I was like,
you know, I'm sure there's emulated versions on online that
people have done, but it's like, I never thought about
tracking that down. So just having this version done by
an expert programmer like Mike Micah who's going to pay
attention to the details and get all this stuff right,
and know that I'm playing something that's going to be
very faithful, and especially been surrounded by finding out all
the history of how this worked and how what it
was like to work on the Electronics Electronica sixty and
knowing that the Electronica sixty is very rare now like
they don't even have one at the Tetra. At the
Tetris offices they have a later version of the Electronica computer.
It's just so exciting to explore a game this way,
in a game's history this way. So yeah, another you know,
they've done this work with a bunch of stuff, the
making of Kronica, all these other games, but Tetris is
one where they really I think, went all out and
they nailed it. So another one that's easy to recommend.
Speaker 7: Cool.
Speaker 2: Definitely need to check that one out too.
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna do it, though, Mike, do we
have any more super chats?
Speaker 2: There's a couple more here from West got another name.

Speaker 7: I sure do, chump, yes, real quick before I forget Mike.
It's funny that you bring up the subjects matter because
I've been playing Lego Horizon and they literally have a
scene early on where they have to explain cultis to kids,
and it's a very bizarre scene where they're like where
like what's his face? Her father figures trying to explain it,
and she and he's just like, oh, it's people who,
like you know, are very passionate about something, but in
the wrong ways and like goes too far and she
she's like, she says, I'm like, oh, like me with spaghetti.
Speaker 5: He's like, oh, yeah, like that but worse bizarre.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, okay, I am ready to bring it
back when you.
Speaker 1: Are, please, it's good.
Speaker 2: Yep, I'm right, all.
Speaker 4: Right, we're on the break your ass, get the hell out.

Speaker 4: Put that cookie down?
Speaker 1: God?
Speaker 5: I love Jingle all the way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too. That's when I watched that one every year.
So like there's a handful of Christmas.
Speaker 4: What the fuck is he doing.
Speaker 1: Entertaining himself.
Speaker 5: In the kitchen.
Speaker 4: He's really thinking they're probably talking about me, and he's
right about that.
Speaker 1: He's right, he's right. West Dietrich says, I want to
live in the bitty's so bad, very bities, Cris.
Speaker 5: Do you think he knows? Do you think he knows?
Speaker 4: He probably knows?
Speaker 1: What do I know? What?
Speaker 5: I don't think he knows.
Speaker 1: He probably doesn't know.
Speaker 5: Okay, what do I not know? Well, you don't know.
Speaker 1: I honestly also don't know. But I'm I believe Shuli
when he says, you don't know. From now on, the
bitties will be miles away. Let's see a focus or something.
You're tiggle.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're in the ball park.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I think bodies. I don't think biddy. Is
it bitty a derogatory term for women? If it is,
it's from like the nineteen twenties. I read a Brave
New World and I didn't see that in there for women.
Speaker 5: I would just say, not a great term.
Speaker 1: Really, I can't say it's sally.
Speaker 5: It's not like horror, horrific offensive.
Speaker 1: You're okay because you're just you're talking about the who Villopoli.
Speaker 4: It's a different one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I've got my shift.
Speaker 4: I was so taken away by the Mike Minati. You
need to set up the thread for people to see
the submissions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had it. I got it close. Let me
just go over there.
Speaker 4: There we go, every every naughty Christmas, every break, we
need to do something, and we'll always free.
Speaker 1: It's all right, We're good. It's already set up.
Speaker 4: It's Mike, Mike Faults. That's always his.
Speaker 1: That's a good point, a J.
Speaker 5: I don't need another old white guy from Ohio telling
me how to think those around here.
Speaker 1: What do you say now?
Speaker 5: He said, I'm over thinking.
Speaker 2: Ah. Apparently that word is used in the movie. That's incredible.
I don't remember that. Bar loves that movie.
Speaker 1: By the way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, when you say that, my god, that seems
like something J would love.
Speaker 2: Like AJ can't get enough of the live action Gridge.
Maybe it's very much his thing.
Speaker 1: I think we watched it recently with the kids. I'm like, yeah,
I like this quite a bit. Oh wait, hang on,
this happened with the video here? Let me see that.
It's like kind of looking down into that Is that
my camera? What camera is this?
Speaker 4: That's that's Mike glasses.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, you know, let me. I think I just
move this up here and cover.
Speaker 4: That's so weird.
Speaker 1: There we go, Okay, I am good to go. All right,
let's go. Actually, you know what I lied? Let me,
I'm gonna get a doctor. Wow, you lie to me.
Speaker 2: It's just just a liar.
Speaker 1: I am liar.
Speaker 4: I don't know who to live with.
Speaker 1: Its sheets sheets all right, link.
Speaker 4: Spreadsheet says it's very much my jam sure.
Speaker 1: M h freeze.
Speaker 4: Kind of creepy that that movie.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you had to be there.
Speaker 4: It's carry Sometimes.
Speaker 2: It's weird because it was like, if that movie's made
like one year later, it would just all been CG bullshit,
but instead they made it practical and in like the
weirdest like way possible.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think, doesn't that just happen because the
kinds of people who like were capable of making practical
effects in that time were kind of a bunch of weirdos,
people who are into weird stuff. Like they're just like
the Ray Harry Houses of the world, like like a
twisted sensibility, and we got to go to these people,
and this is just the ship they make for us.
I love that too. I love that. Yeah, all right,
it's great. Let's go back there we go. Yep, we're good.
Speaker 4: All right, good break, good break, good break.
Speaker 1: I can just get to it. Yeah, let me. I'm
