It's gonna be a good one 6 00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:50.280 because we have Emma Fife on the show. Emma, how 7 00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:50.880 are you doing. 8 00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:53.560 I'm just freaking great. 9 00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:58.039 You know. I've got a copy mug here that really 10 00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:01.479 summarizes my entire life, which is that I work hard 11 00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:03.520 so my cat can have a better life. 12 00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:06.879 We'll see if he chooses to grace us with his presence. 13 00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:09.239 I actually do have two cats. I just have one 14 00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:10.040 who's typical. 15 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:13.879 Star. Yeah, Light is the star and l just kind 16 00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:18.560 of lurks in the shadows. Speaking of my husband finally 17 00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:21.040 watched Death Note. So he inherited these cats when we 18 00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:21.760 moved in together. 19 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:24.519 But they love him. They he is their dad. 20 00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:29.840 But he he watched Death Note recently and he was like, 21 00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.079 I feel a little weird about the fact that you 22 00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:34.239 named one of our cats Light, who is in fact 23 00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:35.200 a serial killer. 24 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.719 Oh well, you know now that fits for cats. No, 25 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.400 it's good. It's an appropriate cats are like if serial 26 00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:44.560 killers were adorable, Like that's. 27 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:52.000 Exactly right, totally. Yeah, So that's that's my that's my summary. 28 00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:55.560 And I watched the season finale of White Lotus, which 29 00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:56.840 was a feature length. 30 00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:58.040 It was ninety minutes long. 31 00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:01.799 Yeah, opinions are all over the place on that that show. 32 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:05.319 This season. I've not watched any White Lotus. Well maybe 33 00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:05.640 one day. 34 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:06.719 You're not a White Lotus. 35 00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.400 I'm curious, but just out of you know, kind of 36 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:12.039 I have not moved it up the queue to be 37 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.199 like this is worthy of time right in this moment. 38 00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:16.080 It's sort of one of those things like, well, I'll 39 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:17.039 get around to it one day. 40 00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:20.400 I mean it finished to make way for uh, of 41 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.479 course Last of Us is coming back this Sunday. But yeah, 42 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.639 it was, Uh, it was great. I loved it. It's 43 00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:28.960 really wild. 44 00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.439 Yeah, I've seen like clips and it looks like a 45 00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:34.960 fun show. A lot of actors just chewing on scenery, 46 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:36.039 which I always appreciate. 47 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.199 Yes, that is what I like about it. 48 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.400 Yes, that seems to be that would be the appeal 49 00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:42.080 for me. And it's like they keep building up like 50 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:44.439 guest stars and all these other things. My weight, they're 51 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:48.280 in the show too. And that that is fun. Yeah. Yeah, 52 00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:53.240 it's it's been wild here is in the United States 53 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.400 as terrorists continue to be a problem. We're going to 54 00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.919 talk about that in the news. Boy, I believe this 55 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.199 stock marketing a little bit of a free fall here. 56 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:05.479 So yeah, just a fun time. Don't check your four 57 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:10.960 oh one k is everybody. Yeah, it's it's just it's yeah, 58 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:15.039 a bad country, that's right. And uh, you know he's 59 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.719 getting some criticism and his response to that is I'm 60 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.039 gonna make it worse. So it's it's a fun time. 61 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.680 But yeah, video game related still, because we still don't 62 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:26.639 know when those switch to preorders are gonna happen. Uh, 63 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.199 I'm hoping we find out this week, you know. I 64 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.360 ideally we find out by the ninth, right, because that's 65 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:36.240 when pre orders we're going to open, Yeah, and we're 66 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:36.879 gonna be able. 67 00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:38.879 To Okay, theseffs go into effect. 68 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:42.000 Yeah a lot of them do. Yes, Yes, many of 69 00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:43.759 them do. Some of them already went into effect over 70 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:48.719 the weekend. I guess it's it's bananas. So I think 71 00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:50.960 Nintendo probably knows they need to give an update by then, 72 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.879 because while they've said, hey, we're delaying pre orders, There're 73 00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:56.800 gonna be a lot of people who did not follow 74 00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:58.960 up that news, like to like keep on top of everything. 75 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:00.960 They just saw preorders on the ninth. They'll return on 76 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.400 the ninth, and then they won't be able to do it. 77 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.280 So I think hopefully they'll have some kind of answer 78 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.240 by then. Although it's a moving target because they don't 79 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.560 know what's gonna happen. Still, you know, I guess they 80 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.199 can assume worst case scenario, in which case that would 81 00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:18.920 mean a huge price increase, likely for the switch to 82 00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:21.519 maybe in for the Switch one. That's where we're at. 83 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:25.120 It's a fun time. Let's explain ourselves here though. Most weekdays, 84 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:28.160 I Jeff Grub will help piece your gaming life back together. 85 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:31.040 That includes breaking news and maybe even some of our 86 00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:34.120 own original reporting. For all these topics, I'll get the 87 00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.279 input of a bona fide expert who will make me 88 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:40.360 look smart. You are watching live on twitch Welcome.

All right, we 93 00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:56.199 have a lot to get into, so let's start the 94 00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:00.920 morning mess with Blueprints reviews. Have you you paid any 95 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.879 attention to blue Prints, because Emma, I think you're gonna 96 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:05.959 like it. I have not. 97 00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:07.439 What is this? 98 00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:09.399 Well, it's not. It's the best reviewed game of the 99 00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.639 year so far. It's a ninety one on Open Critic 100 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.160 last time I checked. I know one of the platforms 101 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.519 on Metacritic has like a ninety four ish. Uh you 102 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.920 know in that range. It is a solve them up. 103 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.839 It's a first person solve them up. It is a 104 00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:31.240 roguelike in that you have like, okay, you are this 105 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.000 kid goes to a house you've inherited it. There is 106 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:37.519 a playfield that you can put like you could put 107 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:40.000 different rooms in, and your rooms come from a deck 108 00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:41.759 that you build over time. Although you start with a 109 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:45.680 lot of those rooms, and as you go up, you 110 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:47.879 walk into one of the rooms and if it has doors, 111 00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:49.639 you can walk up through the doors and you can 112 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:51.680 open the door, and then in that moment you have 113 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.720 to draft the next room. It will pick three cards randomly, 114 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.319 three rooms randomly, and then you are trying to build 115 00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.360 it in such a way that you can snake your 116 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.879 way through this entire house get to the end. Although 117 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.560 the goal is much much much deeper than that than it, 118 00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:10.959 especially as it first appears. Now that's the basics, and 119 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:14.279 it gets much more complicated than that in that every 120 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:17.360 room has I you know, I'm describing it as it 121 00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:19.639 feels like you were living inside of a deck building 122 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.560 card rope, where when you put down a card, now 123 00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.920 like let's now walk into that card, and there's details 124 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.000 within there that matter to other puzzles, that relate to 125 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.240 other rooms that might help you discover things that are 126 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:36.079 actually outside the house. Everything, everything sort of builds on 127 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.839 top of one another, to the point where there are 128 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.160 several like huge revelation moments that I had that gave 129 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.639 me chills of like I can't believe I missed this, 130 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.639 or I can't believe this is actually gonna work. I 131 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:51.160 can't believe I solved it. It's similar to the Witness 132 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:55.240 and uh uh, you know, was that the Forgotten City? 133 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.720 Things like that? Just these games. Yeah, you're walking around, 134 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.560 you are piecing things together, other you are coming up 135 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:05.199 with theories about how things work. And now the cool 136 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:08.680 thing about this being a roguelike deck builder is like, Okay, 137 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:10.639 I have a theory on how this works. Now that 138 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.680 is going to affect my drafting strategy for how I'm 139 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.439 going to lay out rooms going forward. I want to 140 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:18.839 get this certain outcome, so I'm going to try to 141 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:21.040 do things in such a way that I can make 142 00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:23.480 that outcome the most likely. So it's like now you're 143 00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:26.519 actually playing the game in a new way each time 144 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.160 you have these new ideas about how things might work. 145 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.439 I guess early tips I would give is make sure 146 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:34.839 that you're getting in those front corners of the house 147 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:38.319 so you can maximize your keys in your gyms. Everybody. 148 00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:42.199 That's the stuff. How this is. 149 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.000 Giving me a little bit of okay. So in the 150 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:52.439 nineties middle nineties, Cludo Clue in the US was there 151 00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:56.279 was a version of it called Cluto Super Sleuth where 152 00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:59.639 you built the house as you went, and it was 153 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:02.959 just like it was a more complicated version of Clue 154 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:06.759 where ultimately you were like or Clue Cludo whatever wherever 155 00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:09.120 you're from, you know what it is, where you were 156 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.839 basically trying to solve the mystery, but in order to 157 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:14.480 do that, like you didn't start with evidence in your hand. 158 00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:19.160 You were building out the house. I remember really liking it. 159 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:20.120 My quick search of. 160 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.600 It now seems to be that it's pretty mediocre.

It's like, 188 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:42.480 I need to understand what that is now, and it's like, no, no, 189 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:45.960 just wait until maybe after you get credits, because I 190 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.039 got credits after forty five turns forty five days and 191 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.120 I'm on day fifty nine now and I just just 192 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:56.759 in this last run pieced together one of these key 193 00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:59.879 things I discovered thirty runs ago. I'm like, oh, that, 194 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.519 that's what that does. And now that now that has 195 00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:04.360 led me to a place where I can open up 196 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:08.080 eight more things and it's like, okay, where where are 197 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:11.480 we going from here? So it is definitely a game 198 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:16.120 where if you are into it, you'll know, not immediately. 199 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.000 You probably should give it some time, but you'll probably 200 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:23.519 know after it about like five to ten runs, I 201 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.000 would say, which isn't too much of too much time. 202 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.639 And again you said it's I think it's on Game Past. 203 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:30.440 I think it's on PlayStation Plus as well. I think 204 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:34.080 I think it's oh wow, that's multiple of places. Yeah, 205 00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:35.600 but yeah, like like Sean's like, I don't have that 206 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:38.159 kind of time, Like yeah, Sean bounced off, and it's like, uh, 207 00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:40.840 it just he said, it's like the kinds of things 208 00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:42.600 he does in other games to get to the stuff 209 00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:44.600 that he likes, And for me, it's like, oh, this is. 210 00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:48.200 This is stuff I like, yeah, yeah, yeah. 211 00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:47.600 You know. 212 00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:49.759 For me, it's like the games I get to play 213 00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:51.600 in my own head are the things that I like 214 00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:53.960 the best. A lot of times, I like a lot 215 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.000 of different kinds of games, Emma, but I especially like 216 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.639 the game that is, here's a bunch of puzzles or 217 00:10:58.639 --> 00:10:59.840 a bunch of things you have to think about, you 218 00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:02.279 have craft theories. And he likes other kinds of card 219 00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:04.080 games that are more competitive and things like that. So 220 00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:06.039 that's where he gets that stuff from. And I think 221 00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:08.320 a lot of people will be like, actually, this, this 222 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:09.879 is the kind of stuff I don't like about deck 223 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:12.879 builders or I don't like about roguelikes, and all that 224 00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:15.360 stuff is still here. For the most part. There are 225 00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:20.039 some permanent upgrades. There are some elements to the deck 226 00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.559 building where it's like, Okay, maybe you're not doling out 227 00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:24.759 new rooms as much as I or as fast as 228 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:27.240 I wish you would so I think people that don't 229 00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:29.200 like these genres are probably gonna come in here and 230 00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:32.120 be like, this is still mostly for me, yeah, although 231 00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:33.919 I do also at the same time, I'm think it's 232 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:35.519 gonna convert a lot of people who never thought they 233 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:37.879 would like one of these games before. So well, there 234 00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:40.879 you go. It's a yeah, let's say, let's call it's 235 00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:44.200 my favorite game of the year so far. It's real. 236 00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:47.360 Yeah, I am really excited to try this. 237 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:50.399 Also, like this game is made for my husband, Like, 238 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.679 he will absolutely love this game. I'm gonna after this 239 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:56.879 is over go tell him about it, and then he 240 00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:59.159 will probably download it on game Pass and I will 241 00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:00.000 never see. 242 00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:00.919 My roque ally again. 243 00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:05.519 I was trying it on steam Deck for a while 244 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.639 and it was giving me these real bad problems where 245 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:10.200 the controls would just stop working, and it happened. I'm 246 00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:13.440 like keyboard, it's better than mouse and keyboard. For sure, 247 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.519 they have improved it on steam Deck, but boy, that 248 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.679 experience where I was like getting to these major like 249 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.200 breakthroughs of like, oh, I found this room I've been 250 00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:27.759 looking for forever. I'm solving this massive puzzle inside of 251 00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:30.039 this room, so I now I understand it and now 252 00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:32.440 I'm like, I'm gonna get to see what that does. 253 00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:34.559 And right in the moment, the controls break and I 254 00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:37.639 had no choice but to to reset it, and that 255 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.799 I couldn't save my progress progress or anything of and 256 00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:43.759 that something like that basically happened three times before I'm like, well, 257 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:45.279 I just got to go play this on the PC. 258 00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.399 It also didn't have cloud saves, so I couldn't like 259 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:50.399 take my progress from the Steam deck go over to 260 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:53.679 the PC, which was frustrating. Sounds like they're gonna maybe 261 00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:57.120 add that as well at this point, though, Yeah, I would. 262 00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:01.279 I highly recommend this game. It is pretty it's very cool. 263 00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:05.000 All right, let's get into some of this other news. 264 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.240 Oblivion is very likely gonna shadow drop here pretty soon. 265 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:12.399 It's supposed to come out. I mean, according to some 266 00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:15.879 other rumors I've heard, it's like April, and it's April. 267 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.799 It's April right now, Emma. That's the crazy thing. And 268 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:21.000 it's like, okay, well when are they When are they 269 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:23.279 gonna announce this? Well, I've been told it's gonna shadow 270 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:26.039 drop here at any moment this month. 271 00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:28.919 So okay, I thought you at any moment today. 272 00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:32.200 Who knows, I don't know that you know it's gonna 273 00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:36.639 shadow drop here pretty soon. What does that look like 274 00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:39.120 to you? Like, this feels like a big game it 275 00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:41.480 should be. You know, they're remaking Oblivion, one of the 276 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:44.240 Xbox three sixty Yes, one of my favorites of all time. 277 00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:48.200 It feels like they could build a little showcase around 278 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:51.840 something like this, but no, instead they might they might 279 00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:54.279 shadow drop it instead. I guess maybe there's an event 280 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.639 that we don't know about. They could have a developer 281 00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:59.320 direct that they haven't said anything about, and they could 282 00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:02.720 shadow drop it within that. Uh yeah, but I don't know. 283 00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:05.679 Maybe or maybe it really is just like they're going 284 00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:10.240 to try this shadow dropping technique, see what it. 285 00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:13.120 See what it's like to basically not spend money on 286 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:18.519 marketing for a for a game that already exists, You 287 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:20.080 know what I mean? Like this is this is not 288 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:20.919 a new game. 289 00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:26.039 This is a re release, remake master to some degree 290 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:26.720 of an old game. 291 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:30.240 So I yeah, I mean I think that U h. 292 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:33.840 I sort of applaud them in a way if they 293 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:36.519 decide to just kind of put it out there in 294 00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:40.960 the world and and test the waters on something that again, 295 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:42.799 like this is a safe game to kind of try 296 00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:46.399 it with because obviously it's very beloved and and as 297 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:51.399 you say, should be a big deal. And uh yeah, 298 00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:53.559 I like. 299 00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:56.960 This is a this would be interesting, It would be 300 00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:57.759 an interesting move. 301 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.960 Yep. I uh, I think that you know you're right 302 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:04.360 that this would be something. It still would be a test. 303 00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:07.919 Even though they did do a shadow drop with High 304 00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:10.639 Fi Rush. What was that, right you three years ago? 305 00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:10.879 Now? 306 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.000 Is it like three years ago? It was a while ago. Jeez, 307 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:18.039 it was. But that's different. Yeah, so you're explain how 308 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:18.480 it's different. 309 00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:22.080 I agree, Well, because you're basically again you're you're dealing 310 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:26.919 with a game here that people already know and like, yes, 311 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:29.879 there's already there are already converts. 312 00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:30.679 Yeah, exactly. 313 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:36.039 So that when you drop a game that is basically 314 00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:39.120 an unknown, that's very different than dropping a game that 315 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:45.879 all already has a following, already has a fan base, 316 00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:51.320 so and it is part of an established, larger franchise. 317 00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:56.000 So when you are dealing with that versus something that's 318 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:57.960 brand new, something that's brand new, it's like, oh, this 319 00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:01.519 is interesting, something that people are already have an awareness of. 320 00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:05.080 It's like, whoa, I can't believe that they did that. 321 00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:11.279 It would be like Nintendo Shadow dropping a Twilight Princess 322 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:13.879 Refester on the switch, you know what I mean, Like 323 00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:18.360 it's like in that kind of realm of this is 324 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:20.519 something people already want. 325 00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:24.159 Yeah, and you know, Jesse Alwao points out they did 326 00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:25.919 this with Ninja Guide Into and it seemed to work 327 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:28.559 really well. In that case, I think that we are 328 00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:30.279 at least the very least getting a sign here that 329 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:31.679 this is something that's worked for them and they're going 330 00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:36.360 to keep doing for these bigger games anyhow. And Oblivion 331 00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:38.879 being a I'm getting weird d jaf who I'm sure 332 00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:41.480 I've said all these exact order before at some point, 333 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:46.240 but yeah, with Oblivion, it's like even bigger because there 334 00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:50.600 is a there's an Elder Scrolls fandom that is very passionate. 335 00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:52.519 I'll never forget being in that room when that lady 336 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:55.000 was just screaming for Elder Scrolls online and I'm looking 337 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:56.919 around being like, I don't know people cared about this game. 338 00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:00.840 Turns out there's massive amounts of fans for Elder Scrolls 339 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:04.680 who just that's all they care about. So Oblivion is 340 00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:06.759 gonna be able to be like, Okay, can this work 341 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:08.400 for this kind of game as well as how it 342 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:10.319 worked for a Ninja Guide into and I think they 343 00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:13.160 they've found that it didn't work so well for High 344 00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:15.720 Fry Rush, or if it did, it maybe didn't work 345 00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:20.880 well enough. Yeah, I am looking forward to this still. 346 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:23.680 I saw someone back a few chats back, say, hey, 347 00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:25.240 if I don't see a bunch of goofy stuff from 348 00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:27.079 this game in my timeline, this is going to be 349 00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:28.839 a This is a I consider this a failure. And 350 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:32.880 I agree. They got to keep the jank of oblivion, 351 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:36.400 that that sort of anything can happen magic, even if 352 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:38.400 it's something goofy and broken. 353 00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:39.160 Uh. 354 00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:41.279 They need to keep that because I think that's part 355 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:44.160 of what makes these games special is I want to explore, 356 00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:47.880 and sometimes that means finding a cavern I wasn't expecting 357 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:50.039 and starting a quest I didn't even know exist in 358 00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:53.119 the game. And sometimes it means a you know, a 359 00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:55.519 creature hit me and I went flying two hundred feet 360 00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:58.480 in the air and I died. Either way, I get 361 00:17:58.519 --> 00:18:00.160 a cool story out of it. That's what I'm after 362 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:02.799 in these games. So I'm hopeful Oblivion. 363 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:07.160 Yeah, I mean, I uh, I was the only Elder 364 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:13.160 Scrolls I've played is morrowind Actually on the Xbox back 365 00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:13.680 in the day. 366 00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:15.279 I have not played Oblivion. 367 00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:19.920 Uh. But again it's like I do think that it 368 00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:23.519 is very important to keep that appeal of the goofiness, 369 00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:29.000 of the brokenness. You know. I just on semi related 370 00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:31.640 in that it's big open world RPG. But I remember 371 00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:34.680 playing Witcher three, and this was many years into Witcher 372 00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:37.160 three being out. I was late to the party on that. 373 00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:40.119 I like started reading the books and watched the TV 374 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:41.880 show and I said, you know what, I think I'll 375 00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:43.079 give this game a try. 376 00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:46.119 H And I just remember being in a fight with 377 00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:48.200 a monster. 378 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:51.000 It was like a low level kind of undead raythie 379 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:52.839 thing that I should have been able to take out 380 00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:55.440 in two blows, but the game glitched out. Uh. 381 00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:59.799 And it just it was invincible. I just had no chill. 382 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:05.279 It's howago sometimes. Yep, that's exactly right, all right. Nintendo 383 00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:09.960 isn't using anti drift hall effects sensors on switch huge joints. Yes, 384 00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:12.480 this just popped up. I think Kyle orland Over at 385 00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:15.640 our Technica posted this after dealing with years of wide spread, 386 00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:19.359 ride spread reports of stick drift on the original switch 387 00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:22.519 Joy cons. Nintendo watchers have been hoping the switch to 388 00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:26.079 would make use of magnetic Hall effect sensors that avoid 389 00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:29.160 most of the physical wear and tear that caused the 390 00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:31.880 problem in the first place. Now, though, a Nintendo executive 391 00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:34.519 has confirmed that the joy cons on the new console 392 00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:37.799 won't make use of the more reliable, but more expensive 393 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.119 technology joycn twos controllers have been designed from the ground up. 394 00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:44.440 Nintendo of America Vice President of Product Development and public 395 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:48.160 Publishing Nate Bildorf told enthusiast site Nintendo Life in a 396 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:51.119 recent interview, they're not Hall effect sticks, but they feel 397 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:55.480 really good. Confirmation comes after Nintendo pointedly refused to offer 398 00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:57.759 details about the Switch two's joystick hardware at a round 399 00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:00.759 table Q and a session attended by our the last week. 400 00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:05.680 I think there was at some point a like speculation 401 00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:09.960
