Speaker 1: Yeah, that's about. Sorry, but it's not real.
Speaker 3: It can impact you like it's real, though.
Speaker 1: Sometimes don't.
Speaker 6: Members not just the Disney also on TV shows there
Speaker 6: are cast members.
Speaker 1: You see, there's it's different kids in horror movies regular
Speaker 1: What do you mean?
Speaker 3: Like what you are you also upset about that kid
Speaker 3: dying in the beginning of it or whatever?
Speaker 4: What What are you talking about?
Speaker 3: What's not? What's it called the clown. No, it is
Speaker 3: the kid had died in the beginning. That was sad.
Speaker 1: I didn't watch that movie. My question is is if
Speaker 1: you're nine years old, you're for example, the motion picture.
Speaker 1: We need to stop saying to shoot kids, all right,
Speaker 1: just saying that it's old. Damn you're a real child kids, right? Correct?
Speaker 1: Do you grow up to be regular after?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Way?
Speaker 4: I think psychologically, yeah, no fucking way.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's the horror movie specifically. I think
Speaker 2: it's hollids.
Speaker 4: You're not talking about the character, You're talking about the actor.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the regular action.
Speaker 3: Because that's shock humans.
Speaker 4: Barrymore never had any issues.
Speaker 3: That.
Speaker 5: She released a video where she stepped outside it. It was
Speaker 5: rating and she wept openly.
Speaker 6: She also dated Tom Green, which is maybe actually.
Speaker 4: The number one Morning sign is Tom Green. How do
Speaker 4: you think he shaved this one ball to get a
Speaker 4: whole documentary about his ball surgery? Don't remember?
Speaker 3: I don't know, that's right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he showed the world his ball surgery.
Speaker 3: That's like the first thing I know, the only thing
Speaker 3: I know about Tom Green.
Speaker 1: I think death.
Speaker 4: I think the horse is probably the first thing.
Speaker 1: You question. Nikki I think they should have extensive therapy
Speaker 1: and there should be protections in place for child actors.
Speaker 6: Wow, I think they should. I think their lives should
Speaker 6: be sacrificed for our entertainment.
Speaker 1: What is Freddy got fingers? Oh, Niki, there's nobody say
Speaker 1: a word.
Speaker 4: Nikky just watched Freddie Got Fingered this weekend as someone
Speaker 4: who watched it in the theaters and watched it again
Speaker 4: with his wife like a year ago. Let me tell you, Nikki, please,
Speaker 4: what you got fingered this weekend?
Speaker 6: And report back to Canada's most important cultural export. So
Speaker 6: this is just respecting a whole agreed. It's on Amazon Prime.
Speaker 4: I have to hear this.
Speaker 1: I got it.
Speaker 3: There we go.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I looked over at chat and I
Speaker 1: saw the name Carlos Mencio. I'm not gonna bother digging
Speaker 1: into the discourse. We don't about Carlos.
Speaker 6: Just real quick about Carlos Mencia. Do you remember right
Speaker 6: after the Chappelle Show where Comedy Central was like, yes,
Speaker 6: we're gonna go with Carlos vncia.
Speaker 4: Their first attempt was Chocolate News with David Allen Greer, right,
Speaker 4: that was about shadow slot and then that didn't work.
Speaker 4: And then mind him, Mencia kind of got over. It
Speaker 4: was inseparable back then. I cannot imagine how it is now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then so it's like he's still jokes. I
Speaker 1: think Joe Rogan actually got.
Speaker 4: Joe Rogan was seen as a hero because you confront
Speaker 4: one stage and called him out for stealing jokes.
Speaker 2: Yes, never was like that.
Speaker 4: Joe Rogan's a good dude, which is a different read.
Speaker 4: God damn it, fuck it called attention to it.
Speaker 3: Why why should Dan be mad about Metroid? Oh no, look, look, okay,
Speaker 3: look I'm gonna share this. Nobody help me about being
Speaker 3: too online.
Speaker 4: Metroid? And I was just thinking, like, what could possibly
Speaker 4: be the thing that people are mad about Metro.
Speaker 3: There's there's all sorts of stupid things, but this post
Speaker 3: from the reset era is my favorite. I'm just going
Speaker 3: to read this post for you. Not crazy about it.
Speaker 3: There's a lack of elegance and stoicism in the enemies
Speaker 3: that makes the game feel off to me. It's very
Speaker 3: hard to take it seriously in a post Dark Soul's world.
Speaker 4: Oh shut up, don't get some real problems.
Speaker 1: Thing say, Yeah, you know, I think we should bully
Speaker 1: some people. We didn't say, for Sonic, we are kind of.
Speaker 3: Bullying this person. I haven't said their name, but sing
Speaker 3: them out.
Speaker 2: There's no way to find this comment either impossible.
Speaker 1: God don't worry, will make another spread about us making
Speaker 1: fun of this person. In the original thread, it's fine.
Speaker 1: Was the one before? Was it neo gaff?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Before?
Speaker 6: And the owner was like down with something. I can't
Speaker 6: remember exactly how we had the sickness he was it
Speaker 6: was a sickness, yeah. And then so everyone's like, we'll
Speaker 6: start a new thing and it's gonna be wokay it's
Speaker 6: reset Era and it was like okay for like thirty
Speaker 6: five minutes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it kind of chat says I see you found
Speaker 3: my reset Era. There was Tam was like on uh game.
Speaker 3: As mornings came, he was music. He was starting to
Speaker 3: be like, oh I just you know, I saw that
Speaker 3: trailer for Form.
Speaker 1: I was like hmm, and I was.
Speaker 3: Worried he was gonna be one of these weird people.
Speaker 3: He's like, I don't think that's running on a switch one.
Speaker 3: But yes, that's the more correct takes to not believe
Speaker 3: how good it looks. Not the people who are like
Speaker 3: this doesn't look for this game's been in development for
Speaker 3: eight years and people.
Speaker 1: Just want particle effects. That's it.
Speaker 5: Yet, yeah they could, but like they think a good
Speaker 5: a game looks good only if it has particle effects
Speaker 5: in it.
Speaker 3: That was like the that was like the big PS
Speaker 3: four Xbox One thing at launch was just like I
Speaker 3: remember kill Zone shadow Fall with this game that's partical effects.
Speaker 3: So it's impressive now Like that worked on me for
Speaker 3: good five years, but he gets some wiser.
Speaker 6: All right, Sorry, sorry, I'm just filling out the games
Speaker 6: I care about in the Nintendo Today.
Speaker 3: Excuse I just said all of them worth.
Speaker 1: You mean Nintendo Today exclamation point, Yes, exclamation I like
Speaker 1: that at all.
Speaker 3: As long as I am in editor, we will not
Speaker 3: ever include any punch out situation in a in something's title. Never,
Speaker 3: you do not add an exclamation mark to a title.
Speaker 3: That's not a goddamn letter you know what?
Speaker 4: And it's awesome.
Speaker 1: No, absolutely, that's listens fine for a box. That's fine
Speaker 1: for a box.
Speaker 2: Fine.
Speaker 3: If I'm writing about punch out, I am not going
Speaker 3: through the words in like nineteen eighty eight punch out
Speaker 3: exclamation mark, exclamation mark.
Speaker 4: If I'm listing like my favorite games, I'll do it.
Speaker 4: But like not in a sentence, because that's going to
Speaker 4: suck up all the auto capitalization and all that stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hate looking at it in a sentence.
Speaker 6: I'm so aggressive about it that I enjoyed when pr
Speaker 6: people would be like, can you please respect our like
Speaker 6: our stylization choices, And I'm like, I'm happy to tell
Speaker 6: you that I will not.
Speaker 4: I willcase and all caps from us. Yes, yeah, it's
Speaker 4: a word.
Speaker 1: Get out of here. You go one camel case, that's it.
Speaker 4: PlayStation I'll give you that, or can do CamelCase some
Speaker 4: PlayStation okay, yeah, PlayStation and WrestleMania. I always CamelCase.
Speaker 3: You know what always would always mess me up is
Speaker 3: like StarCraft and Warcraft. One of them is CamelCase and
Speaker 3: the other one isn't. War our Craft is no StarCraft
Speaker 3: and Warcraft isn't.
Speaker 5: But that's in confusing because if you look at the
Speaker 5: World of Warcraft logo, yeah it's camel case in the logo,
Speaker 5: but written down it is not.
Speaker 3: Like on the Blizzard website, it is.
Speaker 2: Not Warcraft looks like it has it.
Speaker 1: The world that c is capitalized. It's bigger than the
Speaker 1: other capital letters of the word. I guess it's bigger
Speaker 1: than W. But then when you go on Blizzards website,
Speaker 1: it's just warcraft. W is the capitalization and then the
Speaker 1: rest of it is but.
Speaker 3: Then using the big capital C, and it's it's Phil.
Speaker 1: Phil's got nothing else to work on right now, so
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll get right on.
Speaker 2: Y.
Speaker 3: He's gonna really weap them into shape.
Speaker 4: My biggest capitalization mystery is why Rick Flair's Instagram captions.
Speaker 4: He'll it'll always be a giant rant he does about
Speaker 4: someone who wronged him, or a woman or a business
Speaker 4: partner that he robbed or something everywhere. He'll be drunking
Speaker 4: a bar at three pm typing this out and every
Speaker 4: word is capitalized.
Speaker 3: Which man of a certain age do that?
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 4: It's like, that's not you have to consciously do that.
Speaker 4: There's no setting where it's like, capitalize every word that
Speaker 4: every time. I think it's an era of older people
Speaker 4: who probably actually did not have to write very much
Speaker 4: growing up, and when suddenly they did, they're like, well,
Speaker 4: I don't really know what should be capitalized in what isn't.
Speaker 4: If I just capitalize everything, I'm safe, Or I like.
Speaker 1: To think of it that someone writing in all caps.
Speaker 1: I used to do this with my partner. Every single
Speaker 1: text message, no matter the context, would be in all caps,
Speaker 1: just because we would just be like yelling at each other.
Speaker 1: Parentheses positive. Whenever I see that, I just imagine Rick
Speaker 1: Flair is in promo mode in his captions.
Speaker 4: He's probably crying into three Gen and Tonics at the
Speaker 4: Marriott bar.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, that's fun too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he speaks in ap style headline writing. It's actually
Speaker 1: how Rick Flair uses his voice. Uh, folks, has anyone
Speaker 1: been playing anything? Oh? I hate to stop it?
Speaker 2: I hat what.
Speaker 1: What do you mean? I set one of these buttons
Speaker 1: to be a random sound anytime I hit it, and
Speaker 1: anytime I hit it, it's gonna be a random sound.
Speaker 1: And I didn't have the BombCast. Uh sounds and music. Wow, okay,
Speaker 1: so I'm almost done with.
Speaker 3: Oh that's nice. I got back into it now they
Speaker 3: have in the NW computer.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm at the I'm in the last area. I
Speaker 5: won't do big spoilers. I think that game is still good,
Speaker 5: good to great.
Speaker 1: I will say I was talking about this yesday on
Speaker 1: another program.
Speaker 5: But something that I will notice I have noticed is
Speaker 5: that those first couple of areas are very they feel
Speaker 5: very tight and very like intentional about the ways that
Speaker 5: they expect you to move through them. But in the
Speaker 5: later areas it feels a little more open in a
Speaker 5: way that doesn't feel as good. There's a lot of
Speaker 5: spaces in Galloway's Tusk, which is like a lava lava
Speaker 5: fire desert like barren zone where.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, I need to get over there.
Speaker 5: The game is trying to tell me to get over there,
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna try to get over there, and the
Speaker 5: game's like, actually, you can't go this way.
Speaker 1: We aren't gonna kill you.
Speaker 5: You're gonna try to jump off of this and you're
Speaker 5: just gonna die if you try to go this way,
Speaker 5: And I'm like, what doesn't feel very good? And then
Speaker 5: eventually like, I do find the way that they want
Speaker 5: me to go, but it didn't. It doesn't feel as
Speaker 5: congruous as the earlier areas, but not in a way
Speaker 5: that where it's like, oh, I think the game is
Speaker 5: bad about it.
Speaker 3: It just feels like.
Speaker 5: Some of this game is less tight than other parts
Speaker 5: of this game. And I think towards the end of
Speaker 5: it is where this seems start to show a little
Speaker 5: bit more. But I'm still I'm still really liking it,
Speaker 5: and I'm excited to finish it this weekend.
Speaker 4: I agree about those environments and also that the game,
Speaker 4: you know, it has an extremely strong first impression and
Speaker 4: just the way it's doing everything, the way it feels
Speaker 4: and everything, and by the end it doesn't get less
Speaker 4: good or anything. Ye, it's just there's less like you
Speaker 4: kind of are used to all the stuff that surprised
Speaker 4: you in the early hours and times, and it's just
Speaker 4: you know, you're just kind of seeing it through to
Speaker 4: the end. It's a longer game, so it's not yeah wow,
Speaker 4: wow wow the whole time through. It's just fun, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, it's good. Like where were you atting it? Yeah,
Speaker 3: I am like getting into the second area now, so
Speaker 3: I kind of like went to like the town and
Speaker 3: got things rolling there, and I'm now exploring and completing
Speaker 3: some quests and that's like my favorite part is like, Okay,
Speaker 3: all the quests have been accepted. Now I can start
Speaker 3: running around here and doing things. You know. It's I
Speaker 3: feel like the game hasn't been getting like like one
Speaker 3: of the crisis that oh it's not as emergent as
Speaker 3: a sky Rim, but there are still cool things like
Speaker 3: I walked by some cave and it's just a skeleton
Speaker 3: and he just went in the cave, and I was like, well,
Speaker 3: what the heck is that about? That? I follow him
Speaker 3: in there, and I realized, oh, this is related to
Speaker 3: one of my bounty targets, right, But I wasn't just
Speaker 3: following a check Marty. I just kind of, you know,
Speaker 3: went into there because the world was interesting.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I did a lot of that, really enjoyed that.
Speaker 3: Nogaint.
Speaker 1: What has anyone I.
Speaker 3: Tell you all about how in the Town sixty four
Speaker 3: game made me emotional?
Speaker 1: That's what I was going to ask about. Actually, Uh
Speaker 1: so I.
Speaker 3: Talked crap about the Town sixty four sometimes, and a
Speaker 3: lot of it is is joking a bit, but it's,
Speaker 3: you know, of a lot of those older systems, it's
Speaker 3: not the one I'm thinking about the most. But I
Speaker 3: did actually get mine until sixty four out, and I
Speaker 3: found like pretty much all my old games and plugged
Speaker 3: it in. The first thing I went for was Mischief Makers,
Speaker 3: which is yeah, twod from Treasure. Yeah it's from Treasure.
Speaker 3: It's this kind of really but great to point fifth
Speaker 3: just two D action platformer or the main mechanics that
Speaker 3: you grab things and shake them and throw them. You know, shake, shake, shake, shake,
Speaker 3: that's what that's what you do. I like this game
Speaker 3: as a kid, but I remember I got I feel
Speaker 3: like I got pretty far in it, and then I
Speaker 3: got to a bus that I couldn't beat. So I
Speaker 3: was like, man, is my safe out?
Speaker 4: So on there, don't.
Speaker 6: Exaggerate, kid, couldn't be that long ago.
Speaker 3: Well so, you know, and this is one of those games.
Speaker 3: For whatever reason, it asks you your age, so like
Speaker 3: on my safile it says Mike age ten.
Speaker 1: It's like ten hours play crazy And I was like, ma,
Speaker 1: you know, in my mind, I was like, yeah, it
Speaker 1: was a while ago.
Speaker 3: For some reason, seeing Mike age ten sent to me,
Speaker 3: I was like, oh what, that's insane that it was
Speaker 3: twenty eight years ago.
Speaker 1: He knows, Like okay, I'm.
Speaker 3: Just gonna like pick up this save and see if
Speaker 3: I can finally beat this game. And that's so fun.
Speaker 3: It was. It was. It was real weird just to
Speaker 3: be thrown and they're like that because like, okay, what
Speaker 3: were the mckickson this game?
Speaker 1: How does it work?
Speaker 3: Again? During this weird boss fight where you're falling constantly
Speaker 3: kind of like Gandalf versus the Ball Rock or something
Speaker 3: like that. Right, Yeah, but you know, basically after that
Speaker 3: I find I finished that, I was like, well that
Speaker 3: feels good. I beat that boss that tripped me up
Speaker 3: as a kid. Then there was two more bosses and
Speaker 3: I beat the game and I was like whoa, Okay,
Speaker 3: there we go. I it was a very long break
Speaker 3: in the middle there, but like minnaughty Mischief Maker.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's weird.
Speaker 3: I don't know, It's just I've never picked up a
Speaker 3: save after that much time has elapsed and then finished
Speaker 3: a game. It was, it was, it was just weird,
Speaker 3: and it's just like I don't know. It's just like
Speaker 3: make me think about who was, Like what was I
Speaker 3: like back then? And what was my life bike? And
Speaker 3: I'm picturing my room or the TELL sixty four was
Speaker 3: and playing it then and being stuck on the boss
Speaker 3: and it's like, wow, I've grown as a person. And
Speaker 3: you could tell because now I can beat this boss
Speaker 3: and mission.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, the only urban it and you could possibly
Speaker 5: take a look at it's just Mischief Makers seeing credit.
Speaker 1: That's beautiful. Mike You like you've healed a little Mikey.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit Mike is certainly a more awkward
Speaker 3: and shin shy can a lot of ways, and a
Speaker 3: bridge has been gapped now between old Mikey and Mitch Tolkoto.
Speaker 4: Wow, then no, no, I didn't he was.
Speaker 3: I can always think some o Joe is even a
Speaker 3: glint in the eye of the impact.
Speaker 6: If like when you did finally made him suddenly you
Speaker 6: remembered all these times where he was just there in
Speaker 6: your life and very important, like when they introduced a
Speaker 6: character to a show like Seven Seasons and it's like,
Speaker 6: I've been here the whole time.
Speaker 4: He was just out of frame.
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh hey, Mission Makers Rules. By the way, that's
Speaker 3: a that's a great game. It's I think it's actually
Speaker 3: one of the best on the Town sixty four. It's
Speaker 3: not very many two D games on that system, but
Speaker 3: this is a very good one.
Speaker 6: Tips and tricks about how to play it, all right, Mike,
Speaker 6: what's your favorite password put to put into the game?
Speaker 3: Pass? Shake, Shake, Shake Shake. That's all you need to know.
Speaker 4: That's is there a much more of shaking games where
Speaker 4: there's Warrio Land shaking there.
Speaker 6: The one where you're not supposed to shake the baby.
Speaker 4: But yeah, anti shake game though, yeah.
Speaker 1: There's probably a I feel like I had an app
Speaker 1: on my iPod Touch where you shook a fake can.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's you shook the iPod and it was
Speaker 1: like a fake can and then eventually it just exploded.
Speaker 1: In Ring Fit, you use smoothies a lot. That's shake adjacent.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, doesn't what you switch up a lot of shaking.
Speaker 4: Yes, there's a lot of Mario Party mini games to
Speaker 4: do a lot of shake.
Speaker 3: Sorry, by the way, thank you all so much for
Speaker 3: not saying anything. When I said gaped the bridge instead
Speaker 3: of bridged again, I was thinking about it.
Speaker 4: It was like something was weird about it, but I'm
Speaker 4: not going to bring it up. It's all right.
Speaker 1: You're on a podcast with grub Nikki and I and
Speaker 1: we make we make the English language work for us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we make it our own thing.
Speaker 3: One time I tried.
Speaker 6: I was trying to say stretch your legs, and I
Speaker 6: said spread your legs, and that wasn't.
Speaker 3: Really I retract everything.
Speaker 1: I just said. You know you are with me standing
Speaker 1: next to me, jan I don't want to spread my legs,
Speaker 1: all right, gang anyone else playing anything else or healing
Speaker 1: their inner child?
Speaker 2: This I was gonna ask because I feel like we
Speaker 2: haven't really had a chance to talk about and I
Speaker 2: was the farthest for a while there has anyone else
Speaker 2: started or played more of Assassin's Creed Shadows.
Speaker 4: I did exactly the thing I knew I was going
Speaker 4: to do, where I was like, I'm enjoying this just fine, surprisingly,
Speaker 4: and then as soon as something comes along that I'm
Speaker 4: more engaged with, I'm going to just hop off this
Speaker 4: real quick. Yeah, that's exactly what happens.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I got I basically got to what I think
Speaker 6: is unlocking yo or yeske excuse me, and I have
Speaker 6: not played since because I'm playing something.
Speaker 2: Else, okay, yeah, and everybody else you just haven't gone
Speaker 2: around to it.
Speaker 3: I just even though I've actually been hearing more good
Speaker 3: things about than I expected to, I still just kind
Speaker 3: of don't playing. I don't know even know why I
Speaker 3: have it in.
Speaker 5: I got code and it is sitting in my ready
Speaker 5: to download, and then I'm like, I think, wait.
Speaker 1: Oh, can I do like a temperture check on?
Speaker 6: Like the games that have come out this year and
Speaker 6: the games that you might go back to, is anyone
Speaker 6: going to go back to Kingdom Come Deliverance to Money?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: I haven't played it yet, and I've been meaning to
Speaker 3: once I got the new computer set up. I am
Speaker 3: like my priorities at the competer was first finished Monster
Speaker 3: Hunter World and I did that. Now I want to
Speaker 3: finish about on it and then I think I'm going
Speaker 3: to finally give Keen of Coume Deliverance to a shot.
Speaker 6: Yeah, what about let's see Adam Fall. Has anyone even
Speaker 6: tried that?
Speaker 3: I haven't tried it.
Speaker 1: Not really my favorite flavor of game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, sim Sing was playing it on Wednesday.
Speaker 3: Oh that's exciting.
Speaker 1: Yes, I think it has too much survival stuff that
Speaker 1: I want from one of those. Now, was I right?
Speaker 6: Did I see that on the Game Spot show they
Speaker 6: put that on the top of their board? Is their
Speaker 6: favorite game this year? Or was that a bid or
Speaker 6: what things?
Speaker 2: Jean Luke did that against TAM's will?
Speaker 1: If I correctly, John Luke has said that it's their
Speaker 1: favorite game of the year so far, and they two.
Speaker 6: Point Museum, those cowards. I was gonna ask, is anyone
Speaker 6: here going to play Two Point Museum?
Speaker 1: Mikey's really high on it. Not one of my again,
Speaker 1: not my favorite flavor, but I might.
Speaker 3: Check it out for Mikey's sake, I will say it is,
Speaker 3: you know, not joking, my game of the year so far.
Speaker 3: All right, yeah, I need to play it three more.
Speaker 6: Let's see here at Kazan. What is the first Berserker Kazan.
Speaker 3: I want to try it. It's a from soft like,
Speaker 3: it's a you know, Souls like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I tried that demo. I just didn't care about
Speaker 2: what was going on in that game. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's not our souls.
Speaker 3: Like I watched Tam play it. It looks fun. I'm
Speaker 3: more because like I'm worried it's going to be like
Speaker 3: a Soul's like but with more story. I'm like, I
Speaker 3: don't want I don't want that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want that either.
Speaker 6: All right, then I guess show up answer this one
Speaker 6: who's played Split Fiction Dan Like, okay, uh Jan, I
Speaker 6: haven't just finished touching their hand up all right.
Speaker 1: I have not played it, but I want to, but
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see.
Speaker 6: And then last week, anyone going to spend more time
Speaker 6: with Monster Hunter Wilds. It's getting an update next month,
Speaker 6: ayah man.
Speaker 1: I should just finish the story so we can do
Speaker 1: some hunts on the website.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I want to do. It's because I
Speaker 3: finish the story. So now I'm like, okay, I want
Speaker 3: to do that because now I can play more of
Speaker 3: the game and I kind of really haven't done that yet.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, man, gosh, you know what's funny. I like
Speaker 3: Mostarner Wilds, but I was really looking forward to that one.
Speaker 3: And there's yeah, maybe a little bit of disappointment there.
Speaker 3: In some ways, it's not you know, despite these bigger areas,
Speaker 3: it does not feel more open. It's it does, in
Speaker 3: some weird ways, feel more constrained than even Yes, yeah,
Speaker 3: maybe I need to play the post game content and
Speaker 3: I won't feel like that.
Speaker 1: But oh sorry, go ahead, Nick you no, no, you guys, no, no,
Speaker 1: please please, Okay, I'll go.
Speaker 2: I was talking about Monster Hunter with my friends here
Speaker 2: and I, who both have gotten into Monster Hunter in
Speaker 2: the past, different ones here and there, and I was
Speaker 2: just I just just started describing the game. I didn't
Speaker 2: even give my opinion on it, and at a certain
Speaker 2: point they were just like, sounds all like Monster Hunter.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, well, that is how I kind of
Speaker 2: felt about where I think it's a fun action game
Speaker 2: to play, I really do, but Lisa's story. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: much of it feels not like what I expect on
Speaker 2: a Monster Hunter that I kind of just didn't care
Speaker 2: for why I played in the story, and so I'm
Speaker 2: less incentivized to go on and play the high ranks stuff.
Speaker 2: But I know a lot of people are also really
Speaker 2: digging it. But I know some other Monster Hunter fans
Speaker 2: I've seen online also kind of just fell off of it,
Speaker 2: and they're like, actually, like I've been watching Max's streams
Speaker 2: where he like he went back and did Generation's Ultimate
Speaker 2: Stay because that's, you know, very traditional monster and it's like,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, sometimes you can just go back to these
Speaker 2: older ones and get what you want and then this
Speaker 2: other thing can be for a different audience. That's fine, Sean.
Speaker 1: What a what weapon do you play or use in
Speaker 1: Monster Hunter? I forget the charge blade? Is what's charge blade?
Speaker 2: Right? Yeah? Where that's the you know, the sword and
Speaker 2: shield and then you like reload it sort of and
Speaker 2: then turn into an axe using the charges that you've accumulated.
Speaker 1: It's very fun, beautiful beautiful. Yeah, all right, any other
Speaker 1: games loose loose threads? I got me talk about Assassin's
Speaker 1: Creed Grub Derailed you yeah, I don't remember that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just want to say I did play a
Speaker 2: little bit more even after that stream that we did
Speaker 2: the GB plays, and I just there's nothing really wrong
Speaker 2: with the game. But yeah, I I was wondering how
Speaker 2: other people felt about it because I just feel uninspired
Speaker 2: by it. Where I play it, I'm like, Yep, this
Speaker 2: kind of just feels like, well I thought it would be.
Speaker 2: Even now that I'm further into the game, sort of
Speaker 2: open world checklisty like I expect Ubisoft, it feels good
Speaker 2: to play, especially as now I you know, Kiosk does
Speaker 2: have some cool set pieces, like in that stream where
Speaker 2: like the music kicks in and he's just like taking
Speaker 2: out hordes of dudes because he's a war path. That's
Speaker 2: really fun. But I just I don't know. Something about
Speaker 2: just feels very buy the Numbers to me. Nothing about
Speaker 2: it stands out to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like they needed a buy the Numbers
Speaker 1: thing because they needed like, all right, we're not doing
Speaker 1: well as the company. The last couple of things haven't hit.
Speaker 1: Let's just do a by the numbers thing that people
Speaker 1: vaguely might want or they're so big familiar.
Speaker 6: Like they kind of like, don't have a lot of choice.
Speaker 6: There's not a lot of wiggle rooms. You have so
Speaker 6: many different studios working together, you sort of have to
Speaker 6: have a bible to play by, but assessin' screen. It's
Speaker 6: just it reminds me of like modern day corporate radio
Speaker 6: rock and roll. Right, when's the last time you heard
Speaker 6: like a rock and roll song radio? They're like, this
Speaker 6: is inspiring. It's almost all just like, yep, that sounds
Speaker 6: like what I expected to sound like. It's maybe sometimes yeah, yes,
Speaker 6: very yes, very produced, and maybe sometimes it's this isn't bad.
Speaker 6: It's not bad, but it's not gonna I'm not gonna
Speaker 6: like go chase down the bands albums and things like that.
Speaker 4: Favorite Metallica put out a new album. It's like it
Speaker 4: sounds like Metallica.
Speaker 1: I guess yeah for all games? Yes, yeah, okay, no,
Speaker 1: that actually fits very well. Yeah, Kristen Bell was involved
Speaker 1: with Metallica and then they killed her off.
Speaker 6: Yeah, first three. Yeah, they don't want to pay it anymore.
Speaker 3: Has anyone else been playing zeal By Chronicles X at all?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: I haven't checked it out. And then just hearing like that,
Speaker 1: I have to get fifty plus hours in to get
Speaker 1: to the cool robot stuff. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: want that.
Speaker 2: It's also very much a all a wait for switch
Speaker 2: to at this point, because we're assuming that's a couple
Speaker 2: of months out.
Speaker 3: I can see that I did play a bit more
Speaker 3: of it, and like, after like three hours, I did
Speaker 3: get to the point where it does open up, like
Speaker 3: even more so on a way than any of the
Speaker 3: you know numbers, you know, Blake Games did, And that
Speaker 3: seems intriguing.
Speaker 1: It does really.
Speaker 3: You know. There's this kind of hexagon based thing too.
Speaker 4: The map.
Speaker 3: It's like, well, each of these like hexagon tiles has
Speaker 3: this sort of objective to do, and there's like the
Speaker 3: story objectives for sure. But even pret was like, okay,
Speaker 3: I can kind of run around do some things on
Speaker 3: my own. They'll see neat. But I will say I
Speaker 3: did kind of stopped playing and went back to Mario's
Speaker 3: Pickcross and I'm like, oh, I'm like, oh, oh, really,
Speaker 3: I played a lot of Mario's Pick Cross these days.
Speaker 3: I've got to get through that Star Wars. I did
Speaker 3: check out, uh, the Donkey Kong game that y'all have been.
Speaker 1: Holy shod.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, a great video game.
Speaker 1: Why don't they do more of those?
Speaker 3: Well as Good Mari Versus Donkey Kong. The first one
Speaker 3: of those is a sequel. I tried it plays a
Speaker 3: lot like it, but then, like the marious Docky Honkok games,
Speaker 3: became about the minis and it became more of a
Speaker 3: lemmings like as time went on, Yeah, that was that
Speaker 3: was not good? Yeah, the more they yeah, but yeah, no,
Speaker 3: that game, Oh, Donkey Kong ninety four is just one
Speaker 3: of my favorite video games. I beat it again last
Speaker 3: week and copy for you. Thank you, thank you, Nikky
Speaker 3: so good.
Speaker 1: All right, gang, I guess it's time to get to
Speaker 1: the hot topic of the week. Let's see what this
Speaker 1: soundboard is gonna play? All right, cool jackpop and a
Speaker 1: rain for us. I guess I got that too.
Speaker 3: Just I can't play my rebuttal one because it's just
Speaker 3: on Discord. I don't know how to play it over
Speaker 3: these airplay you play.
Speaker 1: You know, give me a second? Do something every day
Speaker 1: with this guy sounded like the kid that's getting held
Speaker 1: back in a school fight. His friend is like, let
Speaker 1: me add him, let me add him. It's one of
Speaker 1: my cats phrases.
Speaker 3: Do something. Yet he's like hearing a voice clip.
Speaker 6: Yet, can you imagine you're serious, give me a second, serious,
Speaker 6: gonna take him moment.
Speaker 1: I gotta route my audio. Well, you better get started, Kemnadi.
Speaker 1: Uh what if Samoa Joe becomes your new Jeff Grubb.
Speaker 3: Ah Man, I feel like I could just like kind
Speaker 3: of uh, I could start lay more fights and feel
Speaker 3: pretty comfortable about I've.
Speaker 4: Never wanted to be around like when a fight gets started,
Speaker 4: except for if I'm around Smojo, and I was like,
Speaker 4: I would love for somebody to just come out to fight.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, hell yah. All right, today's hot topic. We're
Speaker 1: we're going on a leisurely drive today. We're driving past
Speaker 1: the Mount Rushmore's, We're driving past the tears, the lists,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna take a fine stroll down memory lane
Speaker 1: with the Nintendo Switch because you know, we'll find out
Speaker 1: more stuff about the switch to next week. Nikki Sean,
Speaker 1: y'all brought up this topic to chat about out you
Speaker 1: want to expound about what you were y'all were thinking
Speaker 1: about when when when you brought the top Other than
Speaker 1: fond memories of the switch one, I was.
Speaker 2: Tired of doing Mount rush bars, Nicky, what do you
Speaker 2: have to say?
Speaker 1: I just think that I just think that we don't
Speaker 1: need as a nation to celebrate white men anymore. I
Speaker 1: just think that we should instead study history, which is
Speaker 1: not about white That's why we make rocks. It's exactly correct.
Speaker 1: Score of Switch one memories.
Speaker 4: Guys on switch.
Speaker 1: Had its hard Okay, wrong button, give me a second. Okay,
Speaker 1: you guys keep doing stuff. I'm not going to just
Speaker 1: the right button?
Speaker 3: Is this, Jeff, No, that's wrong?
Speaker 1: Okay, Dan, susy baka, Okay.
Speaker 4: The evidence that the world is round, I'm not believing
Speaker 4: a damn thing.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 6: Mainstream penetration. Okay, now it was plenty horny, thank you.
Speaker 3: Okay, Mike.
Speaker 1: What's it called sleuist one? It's probably the cock not
Speaker 1: as fun.
Speaker 3: It's called not as fun, Jeff, all right, I'll find it.
Speaker 1: Hang on.
Speaker 3: It's kind of break.
Speaker 4: Class one as jacking off in a rainforest cafe.
Speaker 3: Say that.
Speaker 4: Look, I say, you didn't have fun.
Speaker 5: We're just trying to do our favorite memories with the
Speaker 5: Nintendo Switch. Over the course of the last twenty five years,
Speaker 5: it's been out, that's what we're talking about, because it
Speaker 5: has gone. I think I actually think that thing came
Speaker 5: out pre COVID. Yes, weird now, which is twenty seventeen. Yes,
Speaker 5: and that's a big chunk of time, almost ten years,
Speaker 5: and I think it is kind of worthwhile to go
Speaker 5: back and remember some It.
Speaker 6: Saw two Trump administrations, two separate.
Speaker 1: Non consecutive Trump ADMINISTI yeap it changed that blue joy
Speaker 1: con to a red one on the other side. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it. That's the whole idea.
Speaker 4: I guess I'll start. Mine was I maybe might be
Speaker 4: my favorite gaming memory ever, and it was they I
Speaker 4: had just moved from the West coast, the San Francisco office,
Speaker 4: to the east coast. We hadn't even found out for
Speaker 4: his apartment yet, so we had two months living in
Speaker 4: Jersey at Bank's parents' place. And I got the switch early,
Speaker 4: like two or three weeks early, and it came with
Speaker 4: a breath of wild and I was kind of skeptical
Speaker 4: about it at the time because I was like, oh,
Speaker 4: open world, zeld, I don't know how that's going to go.
Speaker 4: And so that there was like two weeks. I would
Speaker 4: say sometimes I was playing like fifteen hour days of this.
Speaker 4: I'd be up till like five in the morning, and
Speaker 4: like the middle of this fun life changed thing, I
Speaker 4: was still kind of like, you know, I just gotten
Speaker 4: It only met Bunk in the last like year or two,
Speaker 4: and so you know, it's exciting. We're moving together, moving
Speaker 4: to New York City. I'd always wanted to live there.
Speaker 4: And we had just gotten Razor, our first dog together,
Speaker 4: and he was a little tiny puppy. He was like,
Speaker 4: you know, eight weeks old, nine weeks old. And so
Speaker 4: there's just this period where I took like a week
Speaker 4: or two where I didn't even go into the office.
Speaker 4: I just sat on a couch with this new puppy
Speaker 4: laying asleep next to me at this turning point in
Speaker 4: my life, and I'm playing this game that I am
Speaker 4: gradually and kind of quickly realizing is going to be
Speaker 4: one of the most important games I've ever played. And
Speaker 4: it's making me feel like a kid in a way
Speaker 4: that nothing since Liken, Like it's bringing back the feelings
Speaker 4: that length of the past gave me when I was
Speaker 4: like six or seven years old, and just all of
Speaker 4: that combination of like life changes, new puppy, exciting stuff
Speaker 4: going on, and then holy shit, this game that I
Speaker 4: can't talk about, and it's it's you know, the embargo
Speaker 4: was you know, three weeks or whatever. So it was
Speaker 4: just a lot of late nights, like it'd be like
Speaker 4: five in the morning, and I'm texting back and forth
Speaker 4: with Jason Schreyer Austin Walker, and we're just like, are
Speaker 4: you fucking did you see this?
Speaker 3: Did you see the fucking island down there?
Speaker 4: Is this the best game ever? And just that excitement
Speaker 4: and just like being so excited to talk about it
Speaker 4: publicly and for people to realize how special of a
Speaker 4: game this is. Uh that that period was just really,
Speaker 4: really really special.
Speaker 1: It was very similar for me.
Speaker 3: I was Emmy had just been born, and so I
Speaker 3: just got I got the switch.
Speaker 1: I was busy.
Speaker 6: Mike and all them from Games B had to go
Speaker 6: out to GDC, so I got to have the switch
Speaker 6: come to me and there, and Mike's Mike doesn't like
Speaker 6: going to GDC, so he was especially salty.
Speaker 3: Now I'm We're seeing the people at GDC with like
Speaker 3: their switches playing Breath of the While, oh yeah. And
Speaker 3: like my brothers were like doing like the fun midnight
Speaker 3: launch thing too, and they're just picking mine up and
Speaker 3: I was just like and.
Speaker 6: I'm like also like telling him, Mike, this is incredible,
Speaker 6: Oh my god. And I was My hope was like, man,
Speaker 6: I have this idea of what I want Open World
Speaker 6: Zelda to be. I wanted to kind of call back
Speaker 6: to the original legend of Zelda for the nes like
Speaker 6: that had just this sense of wonder and openness and
Speaker 6: and they're not going to make that game. And then
Speaker 6: I played it and it was exactly the thing I
Speaker 6: was hoping it would be.
Speaker 1: I it was so good.
Speaker 6: I cried, like I was I could not believe that
Speaker 6: they had made this game. It was like, I, this
Speaker 6: is a new renaissance for Nintendo, the most important video
Speaker 6: game company to me. And then I, yeah, I just
Speaker 6: remember like laying on with like this little matt with
Speaker 6: a bunch of stuff that the baby could play with
Speaker 6: while she's laying on her back, because that's all she
Speaker 6: could do. And she would lay there and I would
Speaker 6: lay right next to her and I'd just be playing
Speaker 6: Switch and she'd be playing with her thing right next
Speaker 6: to me. And it was just like this like very
Speaker 6: wholesome thing that will stick with me forever. And Yeah,
Speaker 6: Breath of the Wild was that good.
Speaker 5: It's a good video game. I don't know if he's
Speaker 5: ever said that before, but I think it's really great.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 1: The first time I oh no, sorry, please please, no,
Speaker 1: no you you were all roll you know when fine guy.
Speaker 1: I realized that I had to because I was in
Speaker 1: college when the Switch came out. It was my second
Speaker 1: It came out in March, question mark, we didn't come out.
Speaker 3: It was because early March March.
Speaker 5: So that was the second semester of my junior year.
Speaker 5: I was in San Francisco, and I was like very
Speaker 5: much in a situation where I was like, can't, can't.
Speaker 5: I was working for this school because I was like
Speaker 5: running the school social I like barely had money to
Speaker 5: do anything. But I was like, I do have to
Speaker 5: buy the nintended switch, Like that is just that it's.
Speaker 1: A requirement for me to do.
Speaker 5: I used like the school paper as a It's the
Speaker 5: only article I ever wrote for the paper because I
Speaker 5: was like, I need to get access to the They
Speaker 5: did that tour thing that they're similarly doing for the
Speaker 5: Switch to and the one in San Francisco was in
Speaker 5: the presidio at this building I'd never been to, and
Speaker 5: I had always been like, oh, I want to like
Speaker 5: walk around the presidio and go to this building.
Speaker 1: So they gave it.
Speaker 5: They gave us press access for that and I went
Speaker 5: in and I was like, I played Arms, and I
Speaker 5: played The Breath of the Wild and I played fucking
Speaker 5: snipper Clips and they had like really decked out and
Speaker 5: that was the first like games event that I had
Speaker 5: been to that was like a press event in that
Speaker 5: exact style.
Speaker 1: And I was like, damn, it's fucking oh. It's like
Speaker 1: this is sick as hell. And then I pre ordered.
Speaker 5: I had my switch pre ordered and it didn't come
Speaker 5: on launch day because I got it on Amazon and
Speaker 5: then Amazon.
Speaker 1: Like they just didn't.
Speaker 5: It just didn't come, and I was fucking heated. I
Speaker 5: was so mad, and I was like I was contemplating
Speaker 5: like canceling it and trying to go into Target. There
Speaker 5: was like a couple of targets near me. I went
Speaker 5: into both targets and they were there, and then I
Speaker 5: was like, well, do I cancel the pre.
Speaker 3: Order that I have.
Speaker 5: They've already charged me because they're shipping it, and I
Speaker 5: again deeply don't have the buddy and then spend it.
Speaker 5: I was like no, I just have to wait, and
Speaker 5: eventually came, and then I just remember I have such
Speaker 5: vivid memories of being on MUTI and pulling this thing
Speaker 5: out of my bag and.
Speaker 3: Being like it is unreal to me that I.
Speaker 1: Am playing a video game this good on the bus,
Speaker 1: Like I'm on the bus, I'm going to school, and
Speaker 1: then I'm I'm done, and I put it back in
Speaker 1: my bag and then I go to school and then
Speaker 1: I can like go sit on the fucking quad and
Speaker 1: I pull it out of my bag and then I'm.
Speaker 5: Playing Zelda and I was like wait, no, like, yeah,
Speaker 5: this is incredible, Like I it actually changed the way
Speaker 5: that I thought about games. And then the first time
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, y'all want to see something fucking crazy.
Speaker 5: And I was able to like be in the cafeteria
Speaker 5: and pull the joycn off and give one to another
Speaker 5: person and be like, okay, now we are both going
Speaker 5: to play a video game together.
Speaker 1: Was actually incredible. So yeah, I'm grateful to the Nintendo
Speaker 1: Switch because it fixed my brain a little bit in
Speaker 1: a time where my brain was not happy.
Speaker 4: Yea's the thing I think we forget about, like because
Speaker 4: it's so we're so used to it now with you know,
Speaker 4: Steam Deck and rock Ally and everything. They like, oh yeah,
Speaker 4: you can play you know, high fidelity games on the go,
Speaker 4: no problem. And back then, I mean that was the
Speaker 4: whole gimmick. Is that, Like, no, you just take it
Speaker 4: on the go and like, yeah, we're used to it now,
Speaker 4: but that was a fucking revelatory the first time you
Speaker 4: did that, you know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, did any of you ever play with with the
Speaker 6: joy cons multiple players with a stranger?
Speaker 1: Yes? Yes, yeah, Like I took a flight pretty suits
Speaker 1: say Mario Kart came out. Yes, SA was like, do
Speaker 1: you want to play Mario Kart with me? I'm gonna
Speaker 1: play for a while.
Speaker 6: And of course at that moment it was like a
Speaker 6: conversation piece. Yes, it was something people hadn't seen before. Yeah,
Speaker 6: And so I was like the lady next to me
Speaker 6: was asking a bunch of questions like well, look, let's
Speaker 6: just bring down the tray.
Speaker 1: I'll pop right here, here's a joy Con, let's play.
Speaker 1: And we played Mario Kart for like an hour and
Speaker 1: a half.
Speaker 3: It was cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was go ahead, Sean.
Speaker 2: I haven't, like, you know, played switch with a stranger
Speaker 2: in that way, but I have as brought me and
Speaker 2: people I'm less familiar with in social setting closer together.
Speaker 2: Where one of the early ones that I remember is
Speaker 2: from that year from twenty seventeen, My friend was getting
Speaker 2: married and it was like two months after the switch
Speaker 2: came out, and I was the only one with the switch.
Speaker 2: I brought my switch with me, and I my buddy
Speaker 2: bought a pair of joy Cons because he was like,
Speaker 2: I'm going to get a switch eventually, but I'll get
Speaker 2: the joy Cons. You bring the switch and then we
Speaker 2: play games or whatever. That's what we did all weekend
Speaker 2: when there was like prep war and downtime and stuff.
Speaker 2: I would just like have the switch around somewhere and
Speaker 2: me and like the rest of the wedding party, like
Speaker 2: everyone who wasn't like waiting on someone else to get
Speaker 2: ready for something. We would play some Puyo Puyo Tetris.
Speaker 2: We would play some Mario Kart eight. We would be
Speaker 2: just like hanging out and passing the controller. Especially people
Speaker 2: who haven't really played a ton of games in a
Speaker 2: long time getting in there and just playing these incredible
Speaker 2: games with us who are super into games. It was
Speaker 2: all unifying us and that was really really cool. It
Speaker 2: was giving us that social experience I really missed out
Speaker 2: of video games at that point that.
Speaker 5: It was Oh sorry, Jen, I was just gonna say
Speaker 5: it is the thing that I will say is that
Speaker 5: like in my brain, I was child like child when
Speaker 5: the We came out, and I have such vivid memories
Speaker 5: of being a child when the We came out and
Speaker 5: being like, Oh, we're gonna have we parties, and my
Speaker 5: parents and my friends parents were like in whatever, like
Speaker 5: the the old group chat equivalent was for parents, which
Speaker 5: I guess was just talking to each other in the
Speaker 5: parking lot of.
Speaker 3: The school.
Speaker 5: And they were like, okay, like I guess which one
Speaker 5: of us has the Wei? And like I was one
Speaker 5: of the families that had the wei my breast. Noah
Speaker 5: had a wei and Lily had a WE. And I
Speaker 5: just have such vivid memories of like the.
Speaker 1: Kids rotating through the three houses every single like a
Speaker 1: couple of times every month, and being like this is
Speaker 1: this is what it is. And then to have that
Speaker 1: same energy of like, oh, which one of you has
Speaker 1: a switch? We will recontect, like to be having be
Speaker 1: recontextualized as like I am now an adult who has
Speaker 1: agency and I can do things myself and make active.
Speaker 5: Decisions about who I'm going to hang out with and
Speaker 5: what I'm going to do, Like I was fucking awesome
Speaker 5: and it was still about games right, like it still
Speaker 5: was about being childlike and play and joy in a
Speaker 5: very weak and specific way. And to have that same
Speaker 5: feeling but recontextualized as not in a not a fully
Speaker 5: formed and fully completed brain adult, but like a person
Speaker 5: with agency was actually really cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I was in a library trying
Speaker 1: to kill time, and I just took propped the switch
Speaker 1: on its kickstand and was playing a fighting game called
Speaker 1: Pocket Rumble. Very yeah, there we go, very very simplistic
Speaker 1: game for my little baby hands when it comes to
Speaker 1: fighting games. And then someone just saw me playing it
Speaker 1: on the in the library and he was just like, yo,
Speaker 1: can I can I join in? And then he absolutely
Speaker 1: smoked me because he was actually good at fighting games.
Speaker 1: And then I kind of felt bad, But it was
Speaker 1: kind of neat to have that experience of being able
Speaker 1: to like pass a controller to someone you don't know
Speaker 1: and be able to just pick up and play a game.
Speaker 1: It's also been able to connect me with friends that
Speaker 1: don't aren't I guess necessarily plugged in to too many
Speaker 1: games as much as we are where similar to Sean,
Speaker 1: where I'll be in a social setting and someone will
Speaker 1: be like Yola's bust out overcooked, who wants to be Sue?
Speaker 1: Who wants to be on expo? And I'm just sitting
Speaker 1: there like, I don't know if I can trust y'all
Speaker 1: press buttons. I don't know press buttons or anything, but
Speaker 1: the switch specifically, I hold it near and dear to
Speaker 1: my heart because I think uh I had for two reasons. One,
Speaker 1: it kind of reinvigorated my enjoyment and love for Pokemon
Speaker 1: because of Let's go Peek at you and Eve? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the competitive side or the vgc's side of it
Speaker 1: kind of just being not quite as I guess, crazy
Speaker 1: as it it became in black and White two uh
Speaker 1: and and uh sean what's the Alleland region? One? Sun
Speaker 1: and Moon where it felt like it got super duper complicated.
Speaker 1: It was just it felt impenetrable. But then just seeing
Speaker 1: more I guess of those Pokemon VGC YouTubers picking up
Speaker 1: and playing uh, Let's go peek at you an ev
Speaker 1: like I was, I was thinking like, oh shit, I
Speaker 1: can get into this again, Let's go and especially if
Speaker 1: it's the OG one fifty one. And then the second
Speaker 1: important core memory of why the switch is near and
Speaker 1: dear to my heart is because I picked it up
Speaker 1: as soon as I started working here. Yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh damn, Like okay, like i'd work
Speaker 1: in a video game place. Now I should go play
Speaker 1: more video games. Let's go get the switch.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: And then I played too much Slatoon that I reactivated
Speaker 1: the tendonitis in my hands.
Speaker 6: Yeah, as anyone else heard their hands playing the switch.
Speaker 6: I played eighty hours of Dead Cells in a week
Speaker 6: and it hurts so.
Speaker 2: For you definitely, Yeah, big hands on the switch was
Speaker 2: not great.
Speaker 6: I'd just stopped playing video games for about two weeks
Speaker 6: just to like fu Yeah, and I felt.
Speaker 1: There's I just remember that this switches. That it was
Speaker 1: Nintendo's first Super Bowl commercial.
Speaker 2: Really sounds right because that was the Imagine Dragon.
Speaker 5: It was Dragons, right, and I think that was was
Speaker 5: that So that had to been twenty seventeen. That was
Speaker 5: that was Patriots. No, I think it was Believer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was Believer. It was it was Breatha Wild.
Speaker 1: It's on the game Spot YouTube channel.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: So yeah, eight years ago, Somber one. That was.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So Patriots Falcons, Well that was a good one
Speaker 1: for everybody involved.
Speaker 3: Nobody had a bad time.
Speaker 5: So that was fun because that was that was when
Speaker 5: I knew that, I was like, Adie was I think
Speaker 5: I do good? Because it felt like they had I
Speaker 5: was really sad.
Speaker 1: About the wei u y switching this commercial. Oh also no,
Speaker 1: I will say I bought one to switch, and I
Speaker 1: remember taking it around to people's houses and being like,
Speaker 1: I should have just put we Sports on this fucking
Speaker 1: thing I did. That is a vehement thought that I
Speaker 1: remember having, because I was like, yeah, no, this scene
Speaker 1: kind of fucking blows. Like I do want to I
Speaker 1: want to be able to show people to think the
Speaker 1: fact that this thing is cool. But then I'm like,
Speaker 1: milk a cow and they're like, I don't we should
Speaker 1: play once you Switch on the show floor at Pax Eastan, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I went to switch.
Speaker 3: The people you played once be right?
Speaker 2: Were they like not into it at all?
Speaker 1: Or they they were not gamers at all? They were normies,
Speaker 1: and I think that they were kind of under the
Speaker 1: impression that it was going to be a wee sports. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it is. It isn't.
Speaker 3: So looking at cow is not a sport.
Speaker 1: For yourself.
Speaker 6: There's definitely competitive cow milking, I guarantee it.
Speaker 3: Kahn, when you said like, oh you know, you reminds
Speaker 3: you of starting to work a giant bomb when the
Speaker 3: Switch One was starting this when Jeff and I started
Speaker 3: podcasting with each other really for the first time, so
Speaker 3: like it to ekes back to that, and you know,
Speaker 3: just covering games with Jeff in general. I remember that
Speaker 3: that big E three, I think the twenty seventeen one
Speaker 3: where he showed the first the first real trailer for
Speaker 3: Mario Odyssey, and Jeff was writing about we were in
Speaker 3: our airbnb, so like he was writing selling him important details,
Speaker 3: and I still just remember I was like, Okay, Jeff,
Speaker 3: he's there's a frog. There's a frog.
Speaker 1: He threw the frog.
Speaker 3: The frogs the frog.
Speaker 6: What the is this guy talking about?
Speaker 1: Do I really want to start a podcast? The energy
Speaker 1: had to go somewhere other than yelling at me.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 3: It was just so exciting, and god, Mario Odissey was
Speaker 3: just such an incredible you know, I also love ref
Speaker 3: for the Wild, but I love three D Mario so much.
Speaker 3: At playing that was just such an incredible experience. It,
Speaker 3: you know, it is so much just remember playing all
Speaker 3: these old time games and coming around or even some
Speaker 3: series I didn't really think I cared about much like Pickment.
Speaker 3: I was like Pickman's not for me. Here's Pickman four.
Speaker 3: I played up like list is just like one of
Speaker 3: the best games. This is incredible, even Luigi's Mansion getting
Speaker 3: this in the same blow up with Luigi's Mansion three,
Speaker 3: where that's just one of the best games on the switch.
Speaker 3: I you know, like Nintendo was in a weird place
Speaker 3: after we you and God this this switch feels like
Speaker 3: it has just cemented it as this thing that like,
Speaker 3: I'm pretty comfortable at least as long as there's a
Speaker 3: Mike Minaughty, I would still be able to play Nintendo games.
Speaker 3: I feel happens.
Speaker 2: I think a word that like soa plays into a
Speaker 2: level we've been talking about is reinvigoration because I think
Speaker 2: about in college that was the three DS weu era
Speaker 2: for me, and I remember kind of just not loving
Speaker 2: Nintendo at that point. I felt a little burned by
Speaker 2: the Wii because the Wii was so much of I
Speaker 2: didn't like about what Nintendo can do, the very gimmicky
Speaker 2: stuff and appealed to the mass audience. So they probably
Speaker 2: made a right choice with that, but I remember thinking, yeah,
Speaker 2: Nintendo for me still the Pokemon company. You know, I'll
Speaker 2: still buy the Pokemon games. On a DS at three DS,
Speaker 2: but I don't love it. And then I remember in
Speaker 2: college hearing a great era of podcasts where Nintendo voice
Speaker 2: Chad oh re ad ign that was the Jose Otero
Speaker 2: era where Jose and Brian Altano and pair on that
Speaker 2: podcast were fantastic and hearing them talk about the WEU
Speaker 2: and giving it the flacket deserved, but also saying but
Speaker 2: also there's good games coming out for it, and you
Speaker 2: should try out this one and that one. And that
Speaker 2: did give me back into Nintendo and then into the Switch,
Speaker 2: I was like really excited about things again. Like Jeff
Speaker 2: was talking about with you know, there's no way this
Speaker 2: is gonna be Zelda one. There's no way this is
Speaker 2: gonna be the three D Zelda one that we've kind
Speaker 2: of wanted, and that's what I wanted, because Zelda is
Speaker 2: a phenomenon old franchise. But they definitely stuck with a
Speaker 2: formula after two games, because every two D game plays
Speaker 2: off of links to the past, and every three D
Speaker 2: game plays off of Okarya time. They're still great games, rightfully,
Speaker 2: so yeah, but they yeah, they kind of they went
Speaker 2: off with the same thing. Yeah, but it's like, you know,
Speaker 2: you make a master Feace like generation defying game. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you stick with it kind of a little bit. I
Speaker 2: did want something new and fresh, and brethel a Wild
Speaker 2: did that. I was between jobs in twenty seventeen and
Speaker 2: having you know, banger year, also having like Persona five
Speaker 2: and near automative bunch of friends.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that year was That year was nuts.
Speaker 2: It was nuts.
Speaker 1: Twenty seen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so much to play unreal.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I played breathel Wild in the beginning of the year,
Speaker 2: played through the story, and then all these are games
Speaker 2: came out. I remember at the end of the year,
Speaker 2: like Mike was talking about with Mario Ossy and just
Speaker 2: closing out the year a great way, collecting all the moons,
Speaker 2: going to all the shrines and everything like that breath
Speaker 2: of Wild and doing that on the bus to the
Speaker 2: job that I got at the end of the year
Speaker 2: across town. It was like an hour each way, and
Speaker 2: I was just blown away. But yeah, I can play
Speaker 2: these incredible games wherever I am, while I'm commuting, when
Speaker 2: I'm on my break or whatever. That's really awesome, And
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, that's those kinds of memories are what
Speaker 2: cemented the switch as a Nintendo's new look and what
Speaker 2: made me fall back in love with Nintendo and.
Speaker 5: It doesn't happen right, Like the idea that Zelda came
Speaker 5: out and then we knew pretty soon after. I don't
Speaker 5: remember when Odyssey got announced.
Speaker 3: It was in that first trailer.
Speaker 1: It was in that first trailer, right, so glimpse had.
Speaker 4: A glimpse of it in the first one, and then
Speaker 4: it was with all the transformation. Yeah, yeah, Odyssey Oussy.
Speaker 2: Was in the the the in person event that they
Speaker 2: did the first reveal was Breath of the Wild, and
Speaker 2: then Odyssey was shown off in the first like event.
Speaker 5: So I think the idea and so it's this thought
Speaker 5: is too progued, the idea that they were released Breath
Speaker 5: of the Wild, and then everyone in the back of
Speaker 5: their minds was like, and we're getting a Mario game
Speaker 5: this year.
Speaker 3: Is like, is so.
Speaker 1: You you don't do that unless you can't do that
Speaker 1: unless you fuck up in the previous generation. It's exactly
Speaker 1: what it is. Like they knew what they had to do,
Speaker 1: and it's because they didn't have one in the last generation.
Speaker 1: They were like, Okay, well, actually, the way that the
Speaker 1: timing has lined up is that yeah, we're able to
Speaker 1: do to hit as hard as they did. And then
Speaker 1: I'm looking at now I'm looking at a list of
Speaker 1: games that came out in twenty eighteen, which was Labbo,
Speaker 1: which I thought was that, which was great. I thought,
Speaker 1: I like it, Yeah, real quick, Nikki, to spin off
Speaker 1: your tangent, real really quick. I remember having meetings in
Speaker 1: the gb West Coast office thinking about, like, all right,
Speaker 1: I guess we should go buy a Labbo. But we
Speaker 1: were definitely in the penitentiary at that point. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: we were not going to get sent one that.
Speaker 6: It was also weird that with Labbo, where like they
Speaker 6: didn't say it to a lot of game reviewers.
Speaker 3: They yeah.
Speaker 1: So I went to my local best Buy the first
Speaker 1: thing in the morning. I grabbed it and I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm going to be the office hero today. And then
Speaker 1: I get onto bart and then I think because it
Speaker 1: had a Nintendo Switch logo on it and was a
Speaker 1: rectangular box, someone on a different train, on uh a
Speaker 1: different train, different car, yeah, tried swiping it from me
Speaker 1: and then running onto the train, but I had like
Speaker 1: gotten my hands onto like the little edge of the
Speaker 1: box and pulled it away, and I thought, man, thank god,
Speaker 1: I saved this Labo for the team. I avoided a
Speaker 1: money here and then just she died, she getting stabbed.
Speaker 1: But then you know, I got to watch like Gersman
Speaker 1: build a cardboard, you know, yeah, yeah, good ship that
Speaker 1: waypoint stream where they're building the piano. Like I'll always
Speaker 1: remember this. They're building the piano and then I think
Speaker 1: someone says Papa Bear. It's one of Natalie, Danica, Dank
Speaker 1: or Danielle. One of them says Papa Bear. And Austin
Speaker 1: is in the back in a chair doing something else
Speaker 1: and his head pops up at the at someone saying
Speaker 1: Papa Bear. And it was like I was like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: like that's the video games. To me, is like where
Speaker 1: you're hanging out, you're doing something that is video games
Speaker 1: quote unquote, and then it's like you no, like you
Speaker 1: have moments of being human and like caring for the
Speaker 1: people around you. I was like, oh yeah, like this
Speaker 1: kind of begs he's got the lab Hell yeah, Dan
Speaker 1: left the room and has now returned which unbuilt labos?
Speaker 1: Do you have built the piano?
Speaker 4: Here?
Speaker 1: What appears to be a.
Speaker 3: Steering wheel?
Speaker 4: Do you make the car too?
Speaker 1: Oh? I was that the same pack? Dan?
Speaker 4: I don't remember.
Speaker 5: I just remember that one I remember that there was
Speaker 5: only one switch remote control card.
Speaker 1: It was that Mario Kart thing, which was the home circuit,
Speaker 1: which was whack. You know that's that's the original one.
Speaker 4: Dan, Yeah, so maybe this one is.
Speaker 2: Oh so the vehicle kit it's like you know, you know,
Speaker 2: racing wheels for like when you're playing or whatever.
Speaker 4: You built hardboard versions.
Speaker 2: Of that for Mary, a plane and a boat.
Speaker 4: It looks like, should I do a loto stream for
Speaker 4: There's other stuff in here I could build for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: By the way, I I pulled up the revealed trailer
Speaker 2: and Dan was right. We did get quick glimpses at
Speaker 2: way more games than I remember. I forgot what we
Speaker 2: call her on the rooftop was a Karen that we called.
Speaker 1: Her Karen rooftop Karen.
Speaker 2: Yeah that.
Speaker 6: Karen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did different meaning for Karen before. There's a different times.
Speaker 2: But yeah, like in order man Breath of the Wild Skyrim.
Speaker 5: Mario cart imagine next week if they put Skyrim in
Speaker 5: this trailer, it's not impossible.
Speaker 2: It'll be about breatha Wild Skyrim Mario Kart NBA two
Speaker 2: k h a glimpse at Mario Odyssey and then the
Speaker 2: splatoon in a Giant Stadium Sports.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was all hands on deck.
Speaker 2: They wanted everyone with this trailer.
Speaker 4: Well then it felt great. At the end of twenty
Speaker 4: seventeen for this website, I was there at the time
Speaker 4: to give a Game of the Year to Breath of
Speaker 4: the Wild with runner up Mario Ottissey. Famously that was.
Speaker 1: She's a great game, but number three that.
Speaker 4: Year, number three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know what, I'm going to chock it
Speaker 1: up because I wasn't I was in a I didn't
Speaker 1: find my voice yet. I couldn't chime in to fight
Speaker 1: the good fight with you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well we recond it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because.
Speaker 5: I was watching at the time and I have a
Speaker 5: vivid memory and Breath of the Wild winning Game of
Speaker 5: the year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you, Nikki, thank you for that.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: What is the closest switch case or switch physical switch
Speaker 1: game in arms reach right now?
Speaker 3: It is Labbo.
Speaker 6: I just put it in the Okay, I do have
Speaker 6: one to switch here somewhere. Yeah, I got one to switch.
Speaker 6: Bomberman are just ants twenty seventeen. These are the three
Speaker 6: physical games Nintendo sent me with the switch when I
Speaker 6: got it from review, and they are still maybe the
Speaker 6: only ones that had except for Metroid Prime, which I.
Speaker 3: Like Metroid Prime so much that, of course I just
Speaker 3: you know, I did get a code digitally, but I
Speaker 3: was like, I need a physical copy of this game.
Speaker 3: I think it's the only game on the system. I
Speaker 3: thought that course I have an unopened Metroid Prime also
Speaker 3: Metro Promp's box are It's just always so freaking yes
Speaker 3: looking at it?
Speaker 1: How goo does that beyond art? The first time I
Speaker 1: checked out Metroid Prime was on the switch, and let
Speaker 1: me tell you you, for someone jumping into that game
Speaker 1: or breedy Metroid for the first time outside of a d.
Speaker 3: S, Holy smokes, y'all.
Speaker 1: They should make more of those games. This is the
Speaker 1: only physical switch yep.
Speaker 2: I wonder why.
Speaker 1: This is a s r B.
Speaker 3: What is it?
Speaker 1: Why I am or why we all have this possible
Speaker 1: to say?
Speaker 3: How I shouldn't even saying because I'm afraid I am.
Speaker 3: I am shocked it hasn't been on play klobee freaking
Speaker 3: wonder listen, I do. I am considering it like it's
Speaker 3: got to be brought up here pretty soon.
Speaker 1: I have Would you dress up as the Wonder World man? No,
Speaker 1: you gotta be No, you got to be the farmer guy.
Speaker 1: Farmer I think the farmer is the move. Wait this
Speaker 1: is still in plastic? Will this work on my switch
Speaker 1: because it's the European Yeah? Yeah, switch has been region free. Okay, okay, cool, cool, cool,
Speaker 1: cool cool.
Speaker 2: They changed they made after the three DS was locked down.
Speaker 1: Dude, they put that They put a smash game out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the big game.
Speaker 1: No fucking way. Okay, we literally just had a that
Speaker 1: is crazy. We just said. You just asked jan is
Speaker 1: this game region?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: Can I play this game? And my sister just texted
Speaker 1: me a link to fucking a Walmart listing of Super
Speaker 1: Mario Party Jim Beree and said, well, this work on
Speaker 1: my switch and it says region it's it says EU region.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. They put out a Pokemon game. It's the
Speaker 1: old it's the best rum two. Oh are you were
Speaker 1: talking about Let's go, let's go. Oh Legends, never mind,
Speaker 1: there's two good ones.
Speaker 2: It's Legends were the best ones on the switch.
Speaker 3: I feel I feel really guilty that they made a
Speaker 3: new Pokemon Snap and I didn't play it because if
Speaker 3: you would have asked me, like a new Pokey Watch Snap.
Speaker 3: I love Pokey Watch, Like here it is.
Speaker 4: I was like.
Speaker 2: New Pokemon Snap ain't it and lost all the soul?
Speaker 2: What the hell is that? Jeff?
Speaker 6: That's my brother here, I'm gonna press the button. It's
Speaker 6: the carboard.
Speaker 3: Cardboards.
Speaker 1: I can't believe that.
Speaker 3: I can't believe the cardboard video game controller.
Speaker 1: Does not last.
Speaker 4: Just put it in the ball rise for a while.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right there. Yeah, yeah, I got stale. We
Speaker 1: talked about ring Fit at all. I did ring Fit?
Speaker 3: I like it?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Ringfit was great. I still think they took
Speaker 5: too long to put out we Sports. They got there eventually,
Speaker 5: but I feel like like Switch Sports took way, way.
Speaker 3: Way too long time. Now it was afterthought.
Speaker 1: Yes, was ring Fit twenty nineteen or sounds right?
Speaker 4: Yeah, because it came out a little before the pandemic
Speaker 4: because I remember it wasn't like a deal and then
Speaker 4: the pandemic hit and then you couldn't find.
Speaker 3: And then it was yeah yeah, I mean that was
Speaker 3: the big thing. Was just a pandemic and animal crossing
Speaker 3: got Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, that's what that was.
Speaker 5: That was the other core idea that I had because
Speaker 5: I was in slack because I was like, yeah, like
Speaker 5: the switch.
Speaker 3: Was big before COVID, but the first couple.
Speaker 5: Of months happened, and then that I just have such
Speaker 5: a vivid memory of being at packs and playing Animal
Speaker 5: Crossing and being like, Wow, this game is going to
Speaker 5: be huge and nothing, nothing bad is going to happen,
Speaker 5: but like, I do understand that the video game of
Speaker 5: Animal Crossing you it's going to be really big and
Speaker 5: a lot of people are gonna like it. And then
Speaker 5: literally three and a half weeks later, the world shuts down,
Speaker 5: and I had to have vivid memories of like normal
Speaker 5: people in my life coming to me, just knowing that
Speaker 5: I worked in video games, texting me and being like,
Speaker 5: do you think they're going to release the Animal Crossing
Speaker 5: early now?
Speaker 1: And I was like, Oh, this game is about to
Speaker 1: pop the fuck off.
Speaker 6: You were you were reviewing it?
Speaker 1: You were? Were you playing the review? Yes?
Speaker 6: Same here because I was. I remember like having it
Speaker 6: be like y'all, I just really wish you could be
Speaker 6: playing this right.
Speaker 1: Yea, it is about to be nuts.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: A friend's eway, it's like, oh, we're kind of hanging out.
Speaker 1: I yes, Yeah.
Speaker 4: You get on a discord call or something and then
Speaker 4: you tend to put out a free Hey you're a
Speaker 4: rabbit with a jump rope game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I think I got it. I was getting
Speaker 1: this to shoot jump ropes then and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: maybe I need to return this jump rope I got
Speaker 1: and try to switch one. It was fun. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was That was nuts. And then Clubhouse Games also was
Speaker 1: in during lockdown.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I remember nights just sitting in bed before we're going
Speaker 6: to sleep, playing whatever, call it their version of YACHTSI
Speaker 6: with Steph every night and we did that for about
Speaker 6: a month and that was great.
Speaker 2: That's a great playing game. I love playing that fly
Speaker 2: them events with my friend.
Speaker 3: Can I I'm sorry, I got an email in a
Speaker 3: press release? Can I read this press release?
Speaker 1: Ye?
Speaker 3: Please?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I'm not gonna read the subject line yet. Hi, Mike,
Speaker 3: I tried so hard and got so far, doesn't even matter.
Speaker 3: Sounds like a line from when most of our team
Speaker 3: are playing the latest retro shoot them Up. But that
Speaker 3: doesn't have to be you.
Speaker 1: Now, this fantastic new thing.
Speaker 3: Is land in your life. This is the c r
Speaker 3: K D Neo S Lincoln Park Edition controller Naturally with
Speaker 3: friends Naturally?
Speaker 2: Is that their on tour one?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 4: Yeah, basically, yeah.
Speaker 3: Okay, look at this thing. It's got pink flames on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, as someone that likes Lincoln Park, they don't do
Speaker 1: themselves any favors.
Speaker 6: No there, I mean, listen, they're what I was talking about,
Speaker 6: like good corporate radio rock, and they're more memorable than
Speaker 6: a lot of that other stuff.
Speaker 3: But yeah, they're definitely right in that wheelhouse.
Speaker 6: Uh A moment for me that I I I just
Speaker 6: liked when I started working for the site and we
Speaker 6: could take the switch and do fun stuff with stuff
Speaker 6: with it, the high rule hustle. What I always think
Speaker 6: of is when I was doing the whistle trick and
Speaker 6: I was doing it for a long time before Dan noticed.
Speaker 6: Then finally he noticed, and it was like the hammer
Speaker 6: is gonna come down. You can hear's a million punishments.
Speaker 6: And I had to like sing what's the what's the
Speaker 6: Kingdom Hearts song?
Speaker 1: Like oh clean?
Speaker 6: The sing simple clean, a song I've never heard in
Speaker 6: my life, and so I'm making up my own melody
Speaker 6: to these insane lyrics. And I had to run in
Speaker 6: a circle and I'm just singing the song, running in
Speaker 6: a circle, thinking all right, eventually I get through this
Speaker 6: and I'll still be able to beat Mike no.
Speaker 4: Problem on the switch at the.
Speaker 6: Inverted on the switch system level and then I don't
Speaker 6: know where we comes and attacks me and just knocks
Speaker 6: me off and I die and it was the dumbest
Speaker 6: thing ever.
Speaker 3: Yes, I have a lot of Bowser's theory related memory, Yeah,
Speaker 3: which Preecy is positive. When we did Bowser's Hurry, which
Speaker 3: was that was such a fun stream, especially since I won.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what we're all talking about. Day.
Speaker 3: I remember negative when I in my review, which you know,
Speaker 3: I had such a great time review that game. I loved,
Speaker 3: I gave a good score, but I said how many
Speaker 3: catch signs were at it? To this day it very
Speaker 3: displeased with me about it was the review. I was
Speaker 3: the preview reviewe.
Speaker 1: It was the review.
Speaker 3: It was that and I said out like how long
Speaker 3: it took me to beat? I think that's honestly what
Speaker 3: they were more sensitive about because they were they were terrified,
Speaker 3: like people are gonna find out that this isn't a
Speaker 3: game when everybody even everyone knew, everyone understood, like they
Speaker 3: thought they were tricking. I guess I don't know.
Speaker 1: Remember, Yes, the Mario.
Speaker 3: One was super fun. Zero ninety nine zero also great, right.
Speaker 6: Five us getting together and being like there's no party
Speaker 6: function in zero ninety nine, so it's all just try
Speaker 6: to join at the same time, and it worked every time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was fine.
Speaker 4: I mean, I love that the switch on line stuff
Speaker 4: as kind of funky as it is sometimes to play
Speaker 4: multiplayer like that. Oh shit, I can do Mario Party one, two,
Speaker 4: and three online now anytime.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mari had another Mario Party Party on the switch
Speaker 1: assumed way too many hot dogs.
Speaker 4: Yes, that's true.
Speaker 3: You did that. You did do that.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I regret every moment of that. But I
Speaker 1: also you know what I don't, I don't because I
Speaker 1: had a fun time with you. I was impressed. I
Speaker 1: remember we absolutely wiped the floor with next Lander when
Speaker 1: we went against them playing tune.
Speaker 4: Right good ninety six Mario Kart tracks over the course
Speaker 4: of that lifetime.
Speaker 1: In between.
Speaker 3: Memory, every Mario Kart game, every crash, was.
Speaker 4: Every single Mario Kart track, and I was was the
Speaker 4: stream like five.
Speaker 2: Six hours hour initially, initially pitches every Mark Mario Kard game.
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's a great idea, Dan, and then you're like, yeah,
Speaker 2: all in one stream. I'm like that's a terrible idea.
Speaker 2: So yeah, the compromise was every single track that's been
Speaker 2: released for eight Deluxe Now. We played it all day long.
Speaker 2: We did a podcasts in the middle of it that
Speaker 2: was really good.
Speaker 1: Is this swow led the best mid cycle refresh ever?
Speaker 4: I really like to slim.
Speaker 1: Yeah that was sp for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's true, but excellent.
Speaker 6: But the OLED screen is like at a point where
Speaker 6: it's like, oh man, I'm gonna get the switch too, and.
Speaker 3: I'm really good.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be I'm gonna with the with the swill lead.
Speaker 1: I was pissed.
Speaker 5: I stopped using my switch because the screen looked so
Speaker 5: bad to me, and I was like, I it's I'm
Speaker 5: either keeping it plugged into the TV, which to me
Speaker 5: was was like made the whole thing useless to me,
Speaker 5: and if I'm then holding into my hands, I don't
Speaker 5: like looking at it. But then the switch old lead
Speaker 5: came out and I was like, oh yeah, buddy, like yeah,
Speaker 5: this is this is it, Like this is what it
Speaker 5: was supposed to be. I am going to be upset
Speaker 5: next week, uh, because it's just it's gonna be a
Speaker 5: good l c D.
Speaker 2: But like, yeah, I was gonna say friendly reminder. L
Speaker 2: c D tech has come a long way. And we
Speaker 2: also don't know for sure what's in it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there was a refreshed version know the Switch before
Speaker 6: the O lead that had a pretty good l C
Speaker 6: d M there, and that is.
Speaker 1: I'm expecting them to use something along those lines.
Speaker 3: I think from like Sharp or something like that.
Speaker 6: But whatever we'll see, Switch one O Lead is fantastic.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, all right, gang, you know what, let's let's
Speaker 1: do a one quick round of hopes and dreams for
Speaker 1: the switch to and I'll tell y'all mine and I
Speaker 1: haven't shut up about this for the last calendar year.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Watch Jan TikTok Baby.
Speaker 1: Y'all talked about this on your podcast last night. Why Yeah,
Speaker 1: we said it wasn't happening. Well what if it does?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 6: We mentioned the watch and that was the first time
Speaker 6: we saw Jan and chat all night. He's just been lurking.
Speaker 6: He's like fuckers mentioned the watch.
Speaker 1: It's happening. TikTok TikTok. Yeah, I'm Jason man Zukus and
Speaker 1: uh John Wick three TikTok wick TikTok. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: want to watch, but also I want Final Fantasy tactics.
Speaker 1: I was promised tactics. Yeah, give me f ft A
Speaker 1: that could happen.
Speaker 4: I want Mario Maker with mouse functionality.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, just update Super Mario Maker two with it.
Speaker 4: You are all in major trouble for this website.
Speaker 3: That ship.
Speaker 6: Grub I know I still have them saved. I should
Speaker 6: get back on it'd be fun.
Speaker 3: Look, we all assume I knew three Mario is happening.
Speaker 3: It still isn't real Till it's real. I want to
Speaker 3: see I need to see that on Wednesday. I know
Speaker 3: it's not going to be a launch game, probably very likely,
Speaker 3: but you know, just like how with the Switch one
Speaker 3: we did see a little bit of Odyssey before we
Speaker 3: had the real reveal. You gotta show me something about
Speaker 3: the next Mario. I'm so excited for that.
Speaker 6: I was like, uh, definitely in line for an excite
Speaker 6: game or pilot Wings.
Speaker 3: Saw some of that tier.
Speaker 1: I just want to be like, oh cool they brought
Speaker 1: back excite Bike. That would be the ideal.
Speaker 6: Excite truck to excite truck would be awesome. Yeah, with
Speaker 6: something excite truck and then maybe pilot Wings. I think
Speaker 6: pilot Wings with the mouse functionality is actually there's a
Speaker 6: pretty good chance of that happening.
Speaker 4: How good of a title excite truck.
Speaker 1: Is it's really good. Excite truck Actually, for some reason,
Speaker 1: excite bike because it rhymes it feels better in the mouth.
Speaker 1: Truck is clunkier. Yes, it's really clunky. And I hope
Speaker 1: there's a pack in game. There's some excite truck. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: what if it's the weird thing they were testing end
Speaker 1: of last Yeah, well yeah, it could be. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I just think that there is something nice about a
Speaker 5: game that everyone has when a thing comes out, because
Speaker 5: it makes the floor or universal, which is why I
Speaker 5: think more people would have gotten on board with lun
Speaker 5: you switch if everyone had it. But the idea is
Speaker 5: someone what if it's Halo Halo that would rule God?
Speaker 1: That would be so can you imagine they say, here's
Speaker 1: the switch to Also, it comes with every single Halo game.
Speaker 3: Halo is a Nintendo.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Nintendo, let's go.
Speaker 3: I love that first one.
Speaker 1: I guess that was the last packing game.
Speaker 4: Huh yeah, yeah, Sean, did you.
Speaker 1: Talk about any dreams or which is grub?
Speaker 2: I think yeah. On the on the tech side, I
Speaker 2: really hope that some of the text stuff we're expecting
Speaker 2: is as good as we're expecting. Like, I hope the
Speaker 2: upscaler is d oss because that would mean that a
Speaker 2: lot of stuff that couldn't normally run on switch and
Speaker 2: look okay, suddenly can And some of the pants and
Speaker 2: stuff are looking like maybe it's like more generic than
Speaker 2: we thought. But if they just figure out the tech
Speaker 2: to bring like we were talking about the Switch one,
Speaker 2: about how we looked at the Switch one and said,
Speaker 2: breathel wild, I can't believe I'm playing this game on handheld.
Speaker 2: I want that kind of experience again with the Swiss
Speaker 2: Shoelher's like, man, this game looks fantastic and it's running
Speaker 2: on this handheld.
Speaker 1: Hallo Halo four Halo in my hands in fourteen on
Speaker 1: the handheld, can you imagine Mario street passing with master
Speaker 1: Chief streets street passes? Said they gotta put street pass background.
Speaker 2: I mentioned three DS was my college era, y'all. Nobody
Speaker 2: gets more street passes their college student. I couldn't go
Speaker 2: ten feet without that, you know, A little green light
Speaker 2: boy can tell me, hey, it's full again.
Speaker 1: Get in here, all right? Okay, Nintendo, it may be
Speaker 1: too late to make the watch all right, but don't
Speaker 1: break my heart again. I'm gonna I'm gonna propose an idea.
Speaker 1: You take one of the new joy cons you have
Speaker 1: to have in your hand, and you can passively street pass.
Speaker 1: But if you want to purposely street pass with someone
Speaker 1: you have the joy Con in your hand, it's someone
Speaker 1: else joy.
Speaker 3: That's really you can.
Speaker 6: We actually just do all the excite games, excite bike,
Speaker 6: Excite by sixty four, excite trucks, and excite box trick racing.
Speaker 1: Grub. You are, it's real grub. You are in the
Speaker 1: driver's seat. You can do whatever you want. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know what happened to Mike Manatti. You go, oh,
Speaker 1: I like that guy. Uh he had a dunket bucket
Speaker 1: and died scooped me.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you think they're gonna announce? Okay, so it's red
Speaker 1: and blue again, which I think is a mistake for
Speaker 1: the Joy yet hints and stuff I and then black?
Speaker 1: What do you think sand Camo? What's the pantone color
Speaker 1: of the.
Speaker 3: Year, Dan gray?
Speaker 4: Pantone?
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think? What do you think?
Speaker 3: The color of the year is Dan blue?
Speaker 1: Fifty years running? Why can't I and that's why I
Speaker 1: haven't announced it. Wait, well, okay of twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: that it's brown.
Speaker 3: I'm back what you're talking about. We're talking about the
Speaker 3: color to Color of the Year Color Year for this year. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Mike Whites didn't win.
Speaker 6: I know you were going for.
Speaker 1: Your color the browns. Yeah, it's called moose.
Speaker 5: You guys were just trying to see if they're gonna
Speaker 5: have a brown joy Con but probably not a.
Speaker 3: Browny when is there?
Speaker 4: I thought all these joy counts are just black with
Speaker 4: the like red and blue like insert part them. Are they.
Speaker 1: Have accents?
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Damn, that's boring. I hope they announce a color one then.
Speaker 3: I'll do color ones later so you can buy them.
