Okay, 64 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:27.159 is it that boy on? 65 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.520 And now it comes like in some beaches they have 66 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:33.680 like those sunscreen machines where you just step in and 67 00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.719 it like sprays. Those are six thick really like that. 68 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:42.840 They're like an outbreak has matt situation, but sunscreen, you know, is. 69 00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:43.759 It natural where? 70 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:45.919 You know, Like normally you go to Jersey or even 71 00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:47.560 like California or something, you go to the beach and 72 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:50.080 it's just like water has a certain like look to it, 73 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.120 you know. But then like you go to like Aruba 74 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:55.080 or like you know, like an island or something, and 75 00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:59.080 it's like kool aid blue. It is like like is 76 00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.479 that just natural thing? Or is that a hey, get 77 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:03.560 the tourist in type thing? 78 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:05.240 Why is it that blue? 79 00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.719 Time? Out. Yes, you're asking two different things. 80 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:09.240 Okay. 81 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:14.159 The first question was meant to almost imply that, like 82 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.920 these islands and Caribbean islands are like doing something special 83 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:21.000 to attract the tourists to their water. 84 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.600 That's the natural state of the watt So that's. 85 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:26.560 The thing, is like, what what is making it so 86 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:29.120 much more just vibrant blue when you're on like a 87 00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:30.160 Caribbean island. 88 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:30.879 Probably less run off. 89 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:32.839 Like you know, if you're on a coast of the US, 90 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:35.639 you've got a lot of rivers taking alluvial soil and 91 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:36.560 taking it out to the ocean. 92 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.040 So it's probably gonna be a little more dense and darker. 93 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:43.279 But the oblivial soil dam river doctor, what's going on? 94 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:48.720 It's right, it's what Mike is right. It's I believe 95 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:51.120 he's right. It's what is in the water and all 96 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:55.600 the you know, I don't know, sediment and crap that's 97 00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:57.879 in the water needles. 98 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.399 It looks a lot better than the islands on the Yes. 99 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.959 The islands are going to have like big mountain ranges with. 100 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.160 Water offlow for the most part, so you're probably just 101 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:06.120 from pure ocean water. 102 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:09.680 Matt Rory, You you read the most out of I 103 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.160 think anyone I know, because I always see reading a 104 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:16.720 newspaper of sorts, oh yeah, or like a little tiny booklet. 105 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.720 How do you think you'd fare in a spelling bee? 106 00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.279 Honestly pretty decent, but if you've ever watched like the 107 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:26.519 real one, they gets really tricky. I'm really good at 108 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.079 like crossing puzzles and spelling in general, but the stuff 109 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.839 they pick it's always like some weird medical procedure from 110 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.439 like the nineteenth century. That's twenty words twenty letters long 111 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:37.279 for the last one, So I get pretty far. I 112 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:39.360 got really mad in high school one time because I 113 00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.519 got called out and uh, and they wanted to know 114 00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.800 how to spell click.

I need to start doing more 284 00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.360 than those cause even it's imagine getting back into doing that 285 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.799 voice after like five years of not doing it. It's 286 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:41.519 really tough. It's like I don't know if I have 287 00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:43.240 that kind of gene in me anymore. But I meant 288 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:45.000 to send you a dog picture for this weekend and 289 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:47.480 put it in a little folder.

But anyway, fiction I think might have 489 00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:52.440 almost made me cry from excitement at the end of 490 00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.599 Creed three because I was very high and it was 491 00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:59.519 getting ready for the big fight against the Diamond Dame 492 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:01.440 and he was coming out in the music and I 493 00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:03.799 was like, I'm so ready for this fight. But I 494 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:06.480 thought my eyes were watering, and then I realized I 495 00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:08.720 had just been eating like buffalo wings and I had 496 00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:10.799 been rubbing my eyes, and so I did have this 497 00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:13.079 moment of being really high and then suddenly being really 498 00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:14.480 aware of my eyes being wet. 499 00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:15.480 Wait, am I. 500 00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:17.359 Crying during a movie for the first time?

What you just It's just 503 00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:27.400 three steps forward, two steps back, man. 504 00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:31.559 Though, I think that that could have been shoot tear Dude. 505 00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:33.519 I got overwhelmed too, like I just got. 506 00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:35.720 Sometimes it's flooded with emotion and it's just like it's 507 00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:38.240 too much, and that's. 508 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:40.400 Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is about video games, right. 509 00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:44.319 I am real quick. I hate to bring things back 510 00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:48.440 to Taft. Okay, every time that came up, all chat 511 00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:51.079 Everton was that's the guy he got stuck in the bathtub, 512 00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:53.160 and that story is just not true. He was a 513 00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:56.880 big guy, but William Howard Taft never was stuck in 514 00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:01.559 a bathtub. Stop spreading that mass lie. It's a lie, Jeff. 515 00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:03.279 The truth matters. 516 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:06.880 Sometimes, I think, Uh, I think what we've learned is 517 00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:10.440 that wrestling could probably make you cry as well. Well. 518 00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:13.960 Con No, So here's the thing, and it has, but 519 00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:17.559 again with the caveat that it's it's never the storyline. 520 00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:21.319 It's always the real circumstances, Like I have guys have 521 00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:24.480 had to retire young because they got injured, and that's 522 00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:26.720 a real moment. And so it's like, it's not like 523 00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:29.680 I didn't cry when you know, Cody finished the story, 524 00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:31.599 you know, when he beat Roman reigns a scripted outcome 525 00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:34.039 or whatever. I cry when like someone has to, like 526 00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:35.720 like Daniel Bryan has to sit in the ring and 527 00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:37.839 and talk about how you can't wrestle anymore because his. 528 00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:41.000 Neck is fucked. Yeah, that's again. 529 00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:43.599 Deaths and stuff like that will will absolutely get me 530 00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:46.200 a Letterman retiring. I cried when Letterman retired, you know, 531 00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:47.119 like that type of thing. 532 00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:50.279 Sure a good goal to reach before the end of 533 00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:52.559 the year. I would love for you to cry at fiction, 534 00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:54.759 But can that. 535 00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:56.920 Be a taught thing, Like I mean, I'm not I'm 536 00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:59.559 super not against it, and I'm. 537 00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:03.599 Not for sure.

Yeah, 552 00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:29.440 I want you to cry at fiction. 553 00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:31.880 And I'm again not against it. I would embrace it. 554 00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:34.880 I just don't called empathy when you when you talk 555 00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:37.240 like you don't have empathy, you sound like a psychopath. 556 00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:39.599 But can you can I learn? Is that a steel 557 00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:40.680 that can be learned? 558 00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:43.640 It's living your life on the world. 559 00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:47.039 Yeah, look in real life stuff, I have that like 560 00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:48.440 when tragic things happen in your life. 561 00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:49.400 I don't think it's a. 562 00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:50.519 Huge problem like that. 563 00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:50.920 You don't. 564 00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:52.359 Yeah, you know it's troubling. 565 00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:56.640 You have a bit more of a window between fiction 566 00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:00.880 than other people. And that's fine, right, It's okay. I 567 00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:02.319 mean this is someone to get weird. But this goes 568 00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:03.839 to the whole Like you've never been attracted to a 569 00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:05.279 cartoon character, sure. 570 00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:10.319 Well, where they don't exist. I think here, here's what 571 00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:15.160 I think that there's something going on right, and this 572 00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.960 isn't bad. I'm not like criticizing you, but maybe an 573 00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:22.720 explanation of why you're unable to have empathy for fiction 574 00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:26.559 or to relate to characters on the screen is perhaps 575 00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:29.559 you repressing something in your own life where you've like 576 00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:32.400 not allowed yourself to feel things for like other people. 577 00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:37.759 Or perhaps absolutely it's just when I know it's fiction. 578 00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:38.680 It's like if. 579 00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:43.200 Modern mortal combat fatalities that are so gruesome and everything, 580 00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:46.599 I just think they're hilarious. If I see violence, I 581 00:24:46.599 --> 00:24:48.400 am mortified and turned white. 582 00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:50.440 You know, like, we'll get there, We'll get there, We'll 583 00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:50.880 get there. 584 00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:55.359 I feel like I've got as far off track. 585 00:24:57.039 --> 00:24:59.519 Video games. Someone mentioned a video games so I guess 586 00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:02.240 now we're a legally obligated to start talking about video 587 00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:06.240 games on this podcast. We gotta.

And 620 00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:50.680 then like the head mover guy was just trying to 621 00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:53.319 drop knowledge darts all over the place. But he was 622 00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:56.440 one of those like big dudes that like, uh, he 623 00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:59.680 sent his like two other mover dudes to like do 624 00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:03.440 do some hard stuff. And then he pulls out like 625 00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:08.039 one of those heavy weight lifting belts out of his backpack, 626 00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:11.920 and he like floor like I don't know how to 627 00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:13.640 describe it, but it's like he was putting on a 628 00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:16.400 cape dramatically.

No, they. 642 00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:53.200 Exact, Mike, I was getting there. They were. They did 643 00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:55.720 the thing where they had like the big boxes and 644 00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:58.279 they'd put the small boxes in the other boxes. It 645 00:27:58.400 --> 00:28:03.759 was great, very good pack jobs. I highly recommend if 646 00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.240 you're moving stuff across the country, perhaps you shouldn't just 647 00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:09.599 throw it all on one guy's back. But in Death 648 00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:12.039 Stranding two they continue to do that. And Dan reichert, 649 00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:13.920 you have finished Death Stranding two. 650 00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:16.759 I did, and I'm gonna be careful because you know, 651 00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:19.720 people don't like hearing specifics, and I'm not gonna say 652 00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:23.160 specifics here. I'm just gonna say, what's that, Beckler? 653 00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:26.759 I don't think you Oh, people, people are mad at 654 00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:29.920 Dan for his very minor in fresh thank you say? 655 00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:35.079 Oh yeah, people say I'm on board everything I've said 656 00:28:35.079 --> 00:28:38.440 previously about loving this game, and everything holds true, maybe 657 00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:42.160 more so now because I really think the last three 658 00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:46.359 to four hours of that game are the most Headayo 659 00:28:46.480 --> 00:28:50.000 Kajima things I've ever seen in my life. And I'm 660 00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:51.759 you know, people, oh, what about the end of the Middle 661 00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:52.400 Year Solid two? 662 00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:54.319 Way wilder than that. 663 00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:59.319 I don't think anything rates even remotely to the end 664 00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:01.640 of a Death Straining two, And I'm not gonna go 665 00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:04.039 into specifics. I'm just gonna say it was several hours 666 00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:06.799 of me just being like smiling or laughing or just 667 00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:09.759 jaw open, just like, what are we doing? Folks like 668 00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:13.440 it is fucking great. 669 00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:14.319 What's that? 670 00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:14.680 Is it? 671 00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:15.599 Mostly cutscene? 672 00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:18.880 There is a part where the puppet tells you, like, hey, Sam, 673 00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:20.319 just so you know, there's gonna be a long cut 674 00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:22.799 scene coming out, which I love in Kagema games when 675 00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:27.599 they just straight up say like hey, press the circle button. Yeah, exactly, 676 00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:29.240 like the puppet is just like, dude, it's gonna be 677 00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:31.960 a long one. And there's a decent amount of gameplay 678 00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:33.839 after he says that, but there is a long cut 679 00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:35.799 scene after that. I don't think there's anything that's like 680 00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:38.920 three hours of straight up cutscene or even anything on 681 00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:41.160 the level of like the end of MGS four, But 682 00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:45.279 you know it's broken up by bits of gameplay, but uh, 683 00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:48.200 it really goes places. 684 00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:51.960 I guess I'm curious then, you know, like with the 685 00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:54.720 story and just the game, do you think there's room 686 00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:56.319 for it? Do you think you want a death straining 687 00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:58.640 three or you think you know he's gonna move on? 688 00:29:58.720 --> 00:30:00.440 You want to see him move on more. 689 00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:00.839 Of this world. 690 00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:02.880 You know, he did that interview in GQ recently where 691 00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:04.519 he talked about like he really has to think about 692 00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:06.279 how many more games he has in him because he's 693 00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:08.119 all take three or four years now, and you know, 694 00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:10.000 he's a certain age and everything, and he has to 695 00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:14.119 really consider every project, and like considering there's OD and 696 00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:17.440 Phisiant that have already been announced, it's like, oh, right, 697 00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:21.319 I don't know if there's room for Like it does 698 00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:23.119 leave things in a way where it's like there's an 699 00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:26.359 interesting angle for a sequel or a third one, but 700 00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:29.640 I don't know as of right now. OD and Phisiant 701 00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:32.079 both seem far enough away to where it's like I'm 702 00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:34.319 just fine with those being the next ones, you know, 703 00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:37.440 and those both being new things is very very intriguing 704 00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:37.640 to me. 705 00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:42.559 You know, I haven't gone the chance to dip back 706 00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:49.079 into death straining too, but I absolutely adore this Garay. Yeah, 707 00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:51.880 and like it's such a way where like I not 708 00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:54.440 that I feel like I'm immune to Kojima's bullshit. I 709 00:30:54.440 --> 00:31:01.400 think before I replayed MGS five maybe two years ago, 710 00:31:01.519 --> 00:31:04.759 and then I after replaying it, I was like, oh, 711 00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:09.519 I think I get everything now. MGS five. I regret 712 00:31:09.640 --> 00:31:12.799 leaving that off of my like top ten of the century, 713 00:31:13.880 --> 00:31:17.119 but holy smokes, he's going for stuff here and then 714 00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:21.200 rediscovering Destraating one and now playing through Destraating two. With 715 00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:27.000 like the lens that I have. It is just insane bullshit. 716 00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:31.519 And I think Kochiba is one of those people that 717 00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:36.440 revels in the fact that he probably has some vision. 718 00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:38.559 Of course, he has a vision for the story that 719 00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:41.599 he's telling and the means that he's telling it, but 720 00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:44.200 he probably revels off of the fact that there are 721 00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:47.000 so many people pulling a different strings of like, no, 722 00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:48.759 this is what this means, that's what that means, this 723 00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:53.440 is what this is. But like the gameplay, it it's 724 00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:58.039 just something so meditative to kind of just zone out 725 00:31:58.160 --> 00:32:05.799 and walk. I saw a video of someone traversing the 726 00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:07.880 environment and that death training too. And I don't want 727 00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:10.759 to spoil anything, but Dan, you talked about the the 728 00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:15.039 coffin thing. Yeah, I love the coffin skateboard thing. I 729 00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:18.920 saw someone using that in conjunction with another item that 730 00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:22.839 you get in the game UH, and they were kind 731 00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:26.960 of just flying kind of. 732 00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:28.519 What I'm very curious about this. 733 00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:31.960 They were there obviously like breaking the game in in 734 00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:35.400 uh based off of using the two items in conjunction, 735 00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:38.359 but it was like, how are you doing this? And 736 00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:40.519 I don't know if Kajima intended it, but it is 737 00:32:40.599 --> 00:32:43.640 great that it is these two items, the metal coffin 738 00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:47.440 and then the other thing where this person is just flying. 739 00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:49.000 I mean that reminds me of like, you know, when 740 00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:50.759 Breath the Wild came out, and just like people were 741 00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:52.839 figuring out ways like let's use stasis and stand on 742 00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:54.039 a tree and fly across them. 743 00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:55.799 Like I love that shit. Like I think Breath the 744 00:32:55.799 --> 00:32:56.720 Wild is probably like the. 745 00:32:56.680 --> 00:32:58.599 Ultimate with that stuff, or here's the Kingdom too, But 746 00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:00.319 like the fact that some of that exists and Death 747 00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:03.000 Straining two is awesome, and you know, I'm done with 748 00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:05.279 it now. Bianca has been working on so I've been 749 00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:07.640 watching her and talking to her about it, and it's 750 00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:10.039 just there's different ways you can approach it. Like you know, 751 00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:12.319 with me, I would find random stuff on hills and 752 00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:14.279 stuff and I would just oh and trust cargo. What 753 00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:16.759 I'll get a few likes, somebody will take that or whatever. 754 00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:20.480 She is spending hours and hours every night just everything 755 00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:22.920 she finds. She is delivering everything she told me last night, 756 00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:24.359 She's like, it doesn't matter how far it is, I'm 757 00:33:24.359 --> 00:33:26.480 gonna get my likes, I'm gonna get my stars. She 758 00:33:26.960 --> 00:33:29.200 could leave Mexico any moment, and she's like I'm staying 759 00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:31.680 in Mexico until I have five stars with everything, and 760 00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:35.000 it's I don't know, there's something meditative and very very 761 00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:35.880 satisfying about that. 762 00:33:36.440 --> 00:33:39.279 Yeah, I am curious for grub to get into it, 763 00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:42.880 because there's aspects of death Straining two that I feel 764 00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:45.799 like is right up is Ali in terms of like 765 00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:49.400 driving and like the mud and and just like traversal 766 00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:55.079 Jesus Christ. For folks that are skeptical over death Straining 767 00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:57.799 two and may have had their reservations over Deathtraining one, 768 00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:02.319 Mike Noddy may be included, just give it. Just give 769 00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:07.480 it a shot, because it's a it's something else and Dan, 770 00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:10.599 I would love maybe next week if I can power 771 00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:14.159 through it to do some. 772 00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:17.559 Type of the spoiler cast, I'd beat it, and like 773 00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:19.440 I don't even know where I would start. It really 774 00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:21.119 reminds me of when I beat Meddle Year Solid two 775 00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:24.480 and it's like, boy, I don't know if I'd be 776 00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:26.599 able to explain this, Like now I think I can 777 00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:28.760 do it, but like you know, in two thousand and one, 778 00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:31.880 I don't think I under none of that was getting 779 00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:32.440 through the head. 780 00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:34.039 There the same way though it was just you had 781 00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:35.960 the same kind of like the last four hours, like 782 00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:37.400 the rest of the game, it's like you can kind 783 00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:38.920 of get it. The villains are over the top and 784 00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:40.920 anything like that. But then you're fighting the president on 785 00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:45.599 a fucking harrier and I'm glad he has the ability 786 00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:46.920 to stick the landing in some way. 787 00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:48.960 Well, and this is I honestly, I think the way 788 00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:51.840 they do this ending is better than MGS two's ending, because, like, 789 00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:54.159 I love what they're saying and doing with the end 790 00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:56.559 of MGS two, But the format is a lot of 791 00:34:56.559 --> 00:34:59.639 greenheads talking to each other, you know, it's a lot 792 00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:02.679 of that is like a lot of just like put 793 00:35:02.679 --> 00:35:04.440 it this way, I was taking a lot of screenshots 794 00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:06.559 on my PS five during those last few hours, like 795 00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:09.000 there is shit to look at in the last few 796 00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:12.639 hours here that you would not possibly predict. 797 00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:15.960 You highlighted this in the Quick Look Dan, and I 798 00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:19.800 didn't realize this when I was playing in my time 799 00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:22.239 with a game. But if you fail at a boss 800 00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:26.039 fight or encounter, you could just select the option pretend 801 00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:26.559 I want. 802 00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:28.599 Yeah, pretend you want, Like, all right, just move on 803 00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:28.880 to the cut. 804 00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:29.760 That's cool. 805 00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:31.119 I like it. 806 00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:36.599 Yeah, yeah, So so that is pretty sick. You know. 807 00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:39.400 There are times with the original Death Stranding where I 808 00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:41.760 kind of feel like it was a little bit of 809 00:35:41.760 --> 00:35:44.559 a slog with some enemy encounters and I wish I 810 00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:46.920 could have just skipped it. But it's just hilarious to 811 00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:47.559 see that option. 812 00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:50.480 But there's also like way more varied boss fights in 813 00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:52.800 this one. I think, like you know, in DS one, 814 00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:54.800 there was a lot more of just like there's tar 815 00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:56.679 everywhere and there's a goofy thing that's mad at you, 816 00:35:57.039 --> 00:35:59.119 and like there's there's a few of those here, but 817 00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:02.920 there's deff only some variety for sure that I appreciated. 818 00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:07.480 Yeah, and uh, you know, the first game was pretty lonely, 819 00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:12.159 like a super isolated experience, and folks know me at 820 00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:14.280 this point, but like, I love a gang. I love 821 00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:19.760 having a motley crew to run around with. And the 822 00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:23.400 fact that Kachiba has convinced some top of the line 823 00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:26.360 actors to just like lend their likeness and just hang 824 00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:30.119 out in this weird ship is pretty pretty frickin' awesome. 825 00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:31.679 Yeah, and they're game for it. 826 00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:33.480 Like I love seeing all these interviews and stuff where 827 00:36:33.519 --> 00:36:36.039 like Norman Rita is describing what it's like, you know, 828 00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:38.760 to to work with Kajima, and he's like yeah, Kajima 829 00:36:38.760 --> 00:36:40.440 will be like, you hold the baby and then you 830 00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:42.559 cry and be like what am I crying about? 831 00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:44.320 And Kajima will be like, well, you know the. 832 00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:46.440 Strand and you know the you know the world, and 833 00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:49.960 this guy okay, I guess like the Strand? 834 00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:53.039 Of course, don't you know about this game? 835 00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:55.639 Is like how because I've been watching a few Terrence 836 00:36:55.679 --> 00:36:57.840 Malick movies and he's you did like The Thin Red 837 00:36:57.880 --> 00:36:59.559 Line and you did you know The New World and 838 00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:02.159 Treeabli and things like that, and every movie he makes 839 00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:06.960 sometimes has some actor coming out. For the New World 840 00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:09.199 it was Chrisopher Plumber and for Tree of Life it 841 00:37:09.239 --> 00:37:11.320 was Sean Penn. They said they shot like three movies 842 00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:13.400 worth of Seanpen and he's in it for like five minutes. 843 00:37:13.559 --> 00:37:17.039 He's apparently always pissed off. I'm curious, Like, I know, 844 00:37:17.199 --> 00:37:20.039 Death Stranding is probably way more intense kind of pipe 845 00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:22.280 production pipeline than a movie is, especially with Malach just 846 00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:23.960 going off through his own thing. But I'm curious if 847 00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:25.320 that I'll leave anybody on the cutting. 848 00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:28.440 Floor like or there was a big part. Yeah, I'm curious. 849 00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:30.639 I know most of these are kind of cameos unless 850 00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:32.400 you're part of the main cast, but I'm just curious 851 00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:34.480 if everybody just didn't work out. 852 00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:36.239 There are there are. 853 00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:38.920 Without saying specifics, there are characters that wind up being 854 00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:41.960 bigger deals than I thought they would be Throughout parts 855 00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:44.719 of this game that I thought was like, okay, is 856 00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:46.519 this is a name, this is this is a fun 857 00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:48.519 cameo thing. But it's like, Okay, actually this is more 858 00:37:48.559 --> 00:37:49.760 important than okay. 859 00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:50.320 Yeah. 860 00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:52.360 So I think I think utilized everyone in a really 861 00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:54.480 great way. And obviously there're ones like George Miller and 862 00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:56.320 stuff that's just a likeness in the same way year 863 00:37:56.320 --> 00:37:57.960 in WD del Toro where it's like they're not doing mokeap, 864 00:37:57.960 --> 00:37:59.800 they're not doing the Boys or anything, but like it is, 865 00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:02.519 we'll just be like, that's Gerymad del Toro. That's the 866 00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:03.800 director of Drive, you know. 867 00:38:05.480 --> 00:38:05.760 Yeah. 868 00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:08.840 For uh, For as much as I'm enjoying guest Straining two, 869 00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:13.159 I can't help but have that like itch inside of 870 00:38:13.159 --> 00:38:15.800 me of like I wonder what the director's cut is 871 00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:18.039 gonna look like or be like, because it feels like 872 00:38:18.280 --> 00:38:21.760 Kojima was more sure of himself and the team had 873 00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:24.920 figured things out more of like how to formulate death 874 00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:27.960 Stranding two versus the original where it's like, Okay, here's 875 00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:30.599 all this stuff here, we can see to the weird 876 00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:32.679 things in the first one. Here's a gun if you 877 00:38:32.719 --> 00:38:34.159 want to just shoot things, there you go. 878 00:38:34.599 --> 00:38:36.039 That's a huge part of why this one, I think 879 00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:38.199 is so much more playable for someone like me. You know, 880 00:38:38.239 --> 00:38:40.400 it's like I think, you know again, watching Bianca play 881 00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:42.480 and like she's very stealthy and she's walked out. She's 882 00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:44.280 taking everyone out with the strand and all that stuff, 883 00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:46.639 and I'm like, oh boy, I'm approaching these like Fantom Pain. 884 00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:47.760 You know, I'm going in there. 885 00:38:47.960 --> 00:38:49.800 Maybe I'll make a watch tower, maybe I'll throw a 886 00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:52.039 doll man up to scope things out. 887 00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:53.639 But then I'm going in with. 888 00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:56.199 An assult rival, with an underbarrel grenade launcher, a trank 889 00:38:56.199 --> 00:38:58.880 grenade launcher. So it's, you know, it's healthy. 890 00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:02.559 That makes me like, Mike, you were so doll man coded. 891 00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:06.920 Though I know I'm going to try the game, right, 892 00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:10.760 I hope everyone knows I've dialed back the fuddy dysis 893 00:39:10.760 --> 00:39:13.280 the game actually came out, because I haven't played yet, 894 00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:15.760 so I don't know. I will get there, I'll give 895 00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:17.559 it a go, and I will give everyone a report 896 00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:18.960 on what I actually think about it. 897 00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:22.599 Okay, there's a particular ten second clip that I clipped 898 00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:24.840 from my PlayStation thing and I've been texting to friends 899 00:39:24.840 --> 00:39:27.039 that I know have beaten it, and it is just like, 900 00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:28.639 it's kind of the moment near the end of where 901 00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:30.519 it's like, okay, we're just going all the way here. 902 00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:34.400 Here's a very This won't make any. 903 00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:36.159 Sense out of context, but anyone who's beaten it, it's 904 00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:38.119 the part where it made me think of James Brown. 905 00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:43.119 That's when it was just like, oh, okay, we're off 906 00:39:43.159 --> 00:39:46.519 the rails, let's do it. There's a good god people 907 00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:49.199 would be it will know. I don't want to say 908 00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:51.280 much more, but it's a very James b oh. 909 00:39:51.519 --> 00:39:55.079 That just motivated me to get to just fast track everything. 910 00:39:56.519 --> 00:40:00.360 Billion guesses you wouldn't guess in what context the James 911 00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:01.239 Brown thing comes up. 912 00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:06.639 Uh, Okay, you know there's there's plenty of tar still 913 00:40:06.679 --> 00:40:08.840 in Death Stranding two, and it looks like a bunch 914 00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:12.239 of paint or ink on the floor and walls, which 915 00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:15.880 is appropriate because Mike Manatti, you have been playing Splatoon two. 916 00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:19.960 Yeah, I'm actually just still playing through Splatoon single player campaigns. 917 00:40:19.960 --> 00:40:24.360 It's actually been my main switch to experience right now, 918 00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:27.599 because plasuon three had a big update to like look 919 00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:29.800 a lot better on the switch to. I think Splatoon 920 00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:32.039 two quite as that, but it's still a good looking game. 921 00:40:32.599 --> 00:40:35.199 But I know these are just kind of cozy and 922 00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:38.480 fun and simple. It's what's weird. This Platoon two campaign 923 00:40:38.679 --> 00:40:40.920 definitely not quite as good as three. The levels are 924 00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:45.119 a lot longer and more straightforward. I basically I'm playing 925 00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:46.880 this so that I can then go to do this 926 00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:50.239 Platoon two expansion, the Octox match, which I hear is 927 00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:52.239 maybe the best of them. Yeah, then I could go 928 00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:54.960 try the side order for Splatoon three. Yes, it's basically 929 00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:56.880 just my killing time to Bonanza And I don't know 930 00:40:56.880 --> 00:41:00.320 if you guys seen like there's metal people doing previews, yeah. 931 00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:04.039 And glowing, glowing, they're evoking the stuff you want to hear. 932 00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:05.519 But you want to hear Mario wattas, do you want 933 00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:08.280 to hear Red Faction Gorilla? That's the stuff people are 934 00:41:08.880 --> 00:41:09.320 Red Faction? 935 00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:12.480 Yeah. I saw I saw to like a two D 936 00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:15.119 section that just looked like Donkey Kong Country and they're 937 00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:18.199 just playing the music. Yes, that's cool, they're just playing 938 00:41:18.199 --> 00:41:20.400 the music. They're playing my favorite song from two, the 939 00:41:20.519 --> 00:41:23.679 uh gosh and a Sticker Bush Symphony, and I'm like, oh, 940 00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:26.599 let's go. I'm gonna play the Heil out of this. Yeah, 941 00:41:26.639 --> 00:41:28.840 so you know, but maybe meanwhile, I I enjoy being 942 00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:31.440 in the Platoon solo campaign waiting room. 943 00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:34.400 I think I did the two Platoon two single player 944 00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:36.519 stuff and thought it was really good. So that is 945 00:41:36.559 --> 00:41:38.000 on my short list of things. And like, you know, 946 00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:40.079 I'm just looking for play on the Switch too right now. 947 00:41:40.159 --> 00:41:42.400 So that's that's on the shortlist for sure. I'm glad 948 00:41:42.400 --> 00:41:42.639 to hear it. 949 00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:45.119 Yeah, Okay, it's fine, it's fun. Uh. 950 00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:49.679 Speaking about shortlist this, I feel like due to a couple, 951 00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:52.559 not a couple, but like, uh, maybe a couple of 952 00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:55.760 years ago, I may have willed this game into existence. 953 00:41:56.480 --> 00:41:56.559 Uh. 954 00:41:56.840 --> 00:42:01.320 I have briefly checked out Persona five the Phantom X. Uh. 955 00:42:01.639 --> 00:42:10.280 This is the gotcha Persona and mobile games blow my 956 00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:12.880 mind or games that are designed for mobile just because 957 00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:18.199 I know that gen should impact and gosh, what are 958 00:42:18.199 --> 00:42:18.679 the other means? 959 00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:21.599 Contail Skyrail, hon Kai. 960 00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:25.920 Star Rail, Star Rail and the newer ones Endless zero. 961 00:42:26.360 --> 00:42:28.800 That's right, Endless Zone zero. All disease are here. 962 00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:32.800 It's like, oh, these are full ass games. Like if 963 00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:35.639 I was not in this profession and I kind of 964 00:42:35.679 --> 00:42:37.719 just wanted like a flavor of a j RPG or 965 00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:41.360 like a hack and slash game, I could totally uh 966 00:42:41.719 --> 00:42:44.960 explore that in these these games. And in the brief 967 00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:48.920 time that are spent with Persona five the Phantom X, 968 00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:53.039 it does feel a little funky that it's like a 969 00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:58.119 supposed to be a grand sweeping Persona like story, but 970 00:42:58.199 --> 00:43:00.320 it still has gotcha elements. But in the time I've 971 00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:03.880 spent with it, I just keep thinking, Oh, this is 972 00:43:04.039 --> 00:43:07.039 just this is just a Persona game. How are they 973 00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:10.679 gonna make money off of this? That's how they got you, exactly, 974 00:43:10.719 --> 00:43:13.800 Matthew Rory. That's how they got you. And I've so 975 00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:19.199 far been not tempted to spin to win, but I 976 00:43:19.239 --> 00:43:21.480 do want to do a quick look for this this week. 977 00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:24.639 I do believe, if I'm not mistaken, that that game 978 00:43:24.679 --> 00:43:27.960 immediately went to like the top ten grossing games mobile 979 00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:30.440 games of like of the current moment. I think it 980 00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:33.400 immediately became like a billion dollar kind of revenue stream farm. 981 00:43:33.480 --> 00:43:36.039 So I could be playing that entirely out of my ass, 982 00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:38.960 but I think I saw that somewhere recently. No people 983 00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:42.480 are going to say I mean, I enjoyed a little 984 00:43:42.519 --> 00:43:45.079 of Ginchen that I played. My big problem with it 985 00:43:45.159 --> 00:43:47.159 was A and B would switched around and I couldn't 986 00:43:47.199 --> 00:43:48.920 get over that until they patch that through, and by 987 00:43:48.960 --> 00:43:50.400 that time it had already been out for a few months. 988 00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:53.480 But they seem like very high quality games for free 989 00:43:53.679 --> 00:43:55.239 if you don't want to worry about like getting your 990 00:43:55.239 --> 00:43:57.000 team super organized or anything like that. 991 00:43:57.800 --> 00:44:01.519 Yeah, it makes me wonder what, like how our at 992 00:44:01.559 --> 00:44:04.440 lists divided the development team if they had like a 993 00:44:04.440 --> 00:44:07.480 smaller team working on this, or this was one of 994 00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:11.199 their bigger teams. If folks are looking for another gotcha game, 995 00:44:11.519 --> 00:44:14.519 I found another one that had been playing. I didn't 996 00:44:14.519 --> 00:44:17.760 put this on the run of show, but Ricci City 997 00:44:18.199 --> 00:44:23.119 is another Gotcha mong, Gotcha Majong game. And yeah, if 998 00:44:24.079 --> 00:44:26.440 if Mike didnner a take over the Monday mornings or 999 00:44:26.480 --> 00:44:29.880 the Monday evenings, we would have had Monday Morning Majong 1000 00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:37.719 with Jan So we're safe for now speaking about jerrpgs, 1001 00:44:38.440 --> 00:44:41.440 this is the most exciting development folks. I tuned in 1002 00:44:41.480 --> 00:44:45.199 for this whole stream. I've been seeing the Blue Sky updates. 1003 00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:50.840 Dan Reiker, you have been playing and enjoying Claire Obscure 1004 00:44:51.239 --> 00:44:52.360 Expedition thirty three. 1005 00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:55.519 I am excited to tell the internet about this game 1006 00:44:55.559 --> 00:45:02.599 I found. Did you know that turn based RPGs can 1007 00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:04.199 be very, very fun? 1008 00:45:05.119 --> 00:45:05.760 Yeah? I've heard. 1009 00:45:06.159 --> 00:45:09.880 Yeah, it's really really good. 1010 00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:11.639 I can't believe I beat you to the punch on 1011 00:45:11.679 --> 00:45:14.159 this one. I never do. So you've been playing it, yeah, 1012 00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:15.159 I'm like almost dumb with it? 1013 00:45:15.199 --> 00:45:17.760 Oh shit, okay, yeah it's uh. 1014 00:45:17.920 --> 00:45:20.480 Look, it was something like I feel like enough people 1015 00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:22.960 through Osmosis. I've just like people have been like very 1016 00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:24.559 positive on it. It's like, oh, Dan, if there's ever 1017 00:45:24.599 --> 00:45:26.320 one you're gonna like, it's this one. Because I like 1018 00:45:26.320 --> 00:45:30.320 Martin Luigi, like Paper Mario, you know Mario all that stuff. Yeah, 1019 00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:33.079 they're right, this is I like the story, I like 1020 00:45:33.159 --> 00:45:35.880 the style, I like the combat. I like every I 1021 00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:38.159 like the running around. I like the cool overworld where 1022 00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:40.199 it's almost like tilt ship guys running around. If I 1023 00:45:40.199 --> 00:45:41.599 can turn into a big fat guy that can run 1024 00:45:41.639 --> 00:45:45.159 over rocks. I like every single thing. But I think 1025 00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:47.159 I started it up and I immediately like kind of 1026 00:45:47.159 --> 00:45:49.079 the setup and the story and everything, and then my 1027 00:45:49.119 --> 00:45:51.559 first fight was like I knew this game was very French. 1028 00:45:51.679 --> 00:45:55.159 But then a fucking mine fights me first mine and 1029 00:45:55.159 --> 00:45:57.079 then when I saw the animation of him like building 1030 00:45:57.119 --> 00:45:59.840 the like wall up, Oh that looks really that's cool, 1031 00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:02.159 Like this game's got a cool style to it, and 1032 00:46:02.199 --> 00:46:04.239 that's killed this to get out of me. Actually I've 1033 00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:06.280 run into two mimes in this game. 1034 00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:07.320 Out of it. 1035 00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:08.960 Yeah, but yeah, on. 1036 00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:10.559 The stream I would with the VODs up on on 1037 00:46:10.599 --> 00:46:13.119 the YouTube page, there was a boss I ran into there, 1038 00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:15.800 uh and it whooped my ass the first time, to 1039 00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:16.880 the point where it's like, man, I'm gon have to 1040 00:46:16.880 --> 00:46:18.280 grind for a while here, and I think I maybe 1041 00:46:18.400 --> 00:46:20.760 got one level up and I went back and I 1042 00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:22.920 was like, ooh, actually, okay, I found a new way 1043 00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:24.840 to kind of approach this and that's working a little better. 1044 00:46:24.920 --> 00:46:26.280 And on the third time I beat them, and that 1045 00:46:26.400 --> 00:46:29.559 is like that's an ideal you know, progression there, it's like, whoop, 1046 00:46:29.599 --> 00:46:31.599 my ass learned a little bit beat them. 1047 00:46:32.239 --> 00:46:34.559 It's so cool because like, yeah, you don't necessarily need 1048 00:46:34.639 --> 00:46:36.800 to just grind little. It's not just a stats game 1049 00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:39.280 because there's so much customization you do with the pictos 1050 00:46:39.320 --> 00:46:41.039 and things like that, but so much of it is 1051 00:46:41.079 --> 00:46:43.239 you could just proof force it if you get really 1052 00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:45.320 good with the Perrys and the Dodges. 1053 00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:46.760 And there's so much to learn, like everybody having their 1054 00:46:46.760 --> 00:46:48.679 own systems here where it's like, okay, so I'm really 1055 00:46:48.760 --> 00:46:50.119 learning that, Like with my l I want to do 1056 00:46:50.199 --> 00:46:52.400 the virtuo stance that has so much fucking damage. Then 1057 00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:54.360 I'm realizing like, okay, well if I use this person 1058 00:46:54.400 --> 00:46:56.400 to mark them and then I'm using virtuos and then 1059 00:46:56.440 --> 00:46:58.960 I'm doing shit, ten damage does not cost them much 1060 00:46:58.960 --> 00:47:02.800 ap And now I've got cl in cl awesome, got 1061 00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:05.360 that crazy scythe stuff and everything, and I'm like trying 1062 00:47:05.360 --> 00:47:06.880 to wrap my head around like Okay, I'm certain to 1063 00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:09.440 understand like the Foretel like load them up with Foretel 1064 00:47:09.519 --> 00:47:11.000 and then consume it. But then it's like, okay, I 1065 00:47:11.039 --> 00:47:13.039 gotta figure out the sun phase and moonface stuff and 1066 00:47:13.039 --> 00:47:15.920 how to trigger twilight phase and utilize that. Like there's 1067 00:47:15.960 --> 00:47:18.079 a lot of just systems that you're learning, and then 1068 00:47:18.119 --> 00:47:20.079 you figure once you've learned them, it's like, well, now 1069 00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:21.880 how does this playoff of this? And how am I 1070 00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:24.159 gonna like And then when it all clicks, it's just 1071 00:47:24.159 --> 00:47:27.400 like holy shit, it is so satisfying. I'm into every 1072 00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:29.519 cut scene I am into where the story is going. 1073 00:47:30.119 --> 00:47:33.719 Characters are fantastic, this growth, the counters. 1074 00:47:33.800 --> 00:47:34.320 Here's the thing. 1075 00:47:34.519 --> 00:47:36.719 I will never fucking dodge in this game.

You can't just you know, cheese it 1116 00:49:16.800 --> 00:49:18.719 by leveling up, Like that's how I beat Bloodborne, That's 1117 00:49:18.760 --> 00:49:20.079 how we get Eldon. The ring is I just get 1118 00:49:20.119 --> 00:49:22.760 way overpowered. Second row is like you gotta fucking learn 1119 00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:24.760 how to pair yeah, And I always struggle with that 1120 00:49:24.800 --> 00:49:26.639 and from games, and I never was a pery guy 1121 00:49:26.639 --> 00:49:28.400 in from because it's like, I think there is something 1122 00:49:28.400 --> 00:49:31.159 about like there's other things to there's positioning and the 1123 00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:33.119 camera and there's there's a lot more going on than 1124 00:49:33.159 --> 00:49:35.039 just hitting a button at the right time, And so 1125 00:49:35.079 --> 00:49:36.639 I always sucked at at. 1126 00:49:36.400 --> 00:49:37.119 Parrying in those. 1127 00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:40.039 This one it's literally like you're watching the thing and 1128 00:49:40.079 --> 00:49:41.800 once you kind of owe the audio cue or the 1129 00:49:41.880 --> 00:49:43.679 visual cue or something, all you got to do is 1130 00:49:43.679 --> 00:49:46.159 hover your finger over that RB and just time it. 1131 00:49:46.159 --> 00:49:48.760 It's not anything else like, And I'm just saying that 1132 00:49:48.800 --> 00:49:51.000 it's one who's not great at pairing. I know, like 1133 00:49:51.039 --> 00:49:53.280 people get awesome at it, and from games I struggle 1134 00:49:53.320 --> 00:49:56.199 with it. I don't struggle as much. I think it's 1135 00:49:56.199 --> 00:49:57.239 actually kind of a nice balance. 1136 00:49:57.280 --> 00:49:57.559 That's good. 1137 00:49:57.679 --> 00:50:01.679 Now I really appreciate the games that have I forget 1138 00:50:01.679 --> 00:50:04.199 which game I was playing, I think I do. Maybe 1139 00:50:04.280 --> 00:50:06.079 somebody's gonna talk about Doom to do Doom game, but 1140 00:50:06.119 --> 00:50:09.119 that has a pairing clider like sensitivity, so you can 1141 00:50:09.159 --> 00:50:10.440 just make it as big as you want, and the 1142 00:50:10.440 --> 00:50:11.559 pairing is pretty easy to do. 1143 00:50:12.239 --> 00:50:13.960 I can't remember there's a slider in this one, but 1144 00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:16.760 there's definitely like a story I got a story mode 1145 00:50:16.760 --> 00:50:18.039 where the window is much bigger. 1146 00:50:18.159 --> 00:50:18.639 Yeah, says here. 1147 00:50:18.679 --> 00:50:21.440 They updated the game for story mode, making raising okay, 1148 00:50:21.440 --> 00:50:24.119 the perry windows wider story mode. 1149 00:50:24.159 --> 00:50:30.679 That's huge. I think I've noticed that when I go 1150 00:50:30.760 --> 00:50:35.239 from playing on my PC to playing in the family 1151 00:50:35.320 --> 00:50:38.159 room where I have a PC connected to a television, 1152 00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:41.599 I have worse timing on that than I do here. 1153 00:50:41.719 --> 00:50:43.199 And it's probably an input leg thing. 1154 00:50:43.480 --> 00:50:46.280 That's I never got good at rock bands, Like I 1155 00:50:46.320 --> 00:50:48.320 always play a guitar here too, on a CRT, and 1156 00:50:48.360 --> 00:50:50.960 even with the lack adjustment, it just never clicked for me. 1157 00:50:52.320 --> 00:50:54.480 Yeah, I think like that's the I I kind of wish, 1158 00:50:54.639 --> 00:50:57.639 like I thought I had convinced myself, and maybe it 1159 00:50:57.679 --> 00:51:00.440 was just sort of like, you know, I'm kind of 1160 00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:04.320 like you know, placebo effect, But I was convinced that, 1161 00:51:04.400 --> 00:51:09.239 like you know, adding points into the luck category was 1162 00:51:09.280 --> 00:51:13.360 like somehow or defense was like somehow increasing my parry juice. 1163 00:51:14.320 --> 00:51:16.119 But that sort of remains to be seen. I do 1164 00:51:16.159 --> 00:51:19.280 think the one issue I have with the battling and 1165 00:51:19.320 --> 00:51:24.039 the parrying is that sometimes when an enemy's turn to 1166 00:51:24.199 --> 00:51:27.239 attack happens, the camera angle is very sort of like 1167 00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:31.760 unforgiving and maybe even awkward. You're unsure as to who 1168 00:51:31.800 --> 00:51:35.159 in your team is receiving the attack. I kind of 1169 00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:37.559 like don't know right away. I find that to be 1170 00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:39.679 maybe more backloaded in the second half of the game 1171 00:51:39.679 --> 00:51:42.920 where I find it to be an issue. But but yeah, 1172 00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:46.920 I mean, god damn, I just I'm at a point 1173 00:51:47.000 --> 00:51:50.199 right now where I'm like, it's like every it's I 1174 00:51:50.199 --> 00:51:52.159 could tell they're just juicing me up for like the 1175 00:51:52.239 --> 00:51:54.679 last thing, and I'm just I'm running into fools like 1176 00:51:54.800 --> 00:51:57.280 left and right, and I'm just like, oh my god, 1177 00:51:57.880 --> 00:52:00.719 Monoco's like sixty eight right now, Like what are we doing? 1178 00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:02.760 We had like let me do this painter shit, like 1179 00:52:02.840 --> 00:52:04.599 let me get to the to the end or whatever 1180 00:52:04.639 --> 00:52:05.840 it is.

But you know, 1298 00:57:10.440 --> 00:57:12.880 I it's still super high up there.

I've anybody recalled. 1307 00:57:32.719 --> 00:57:34.400 I said I was going to beat Splunky two this year, 1308 00:57:34.480 --> 00:57:35.920 just the regular game, and I thought I was going 1309 00:57:36.000 --> 00:57:37.679 to take me months, and I did the first time 1310 00:57:37.800 --> 00:57:39.679 I tried it earlier, like March. 1311 00:57:39.880 --> 00:57:41.199 You can find that I'm on a YouTube channel. 1312 00:57:41.199 --> 00:57:44.239 But now there's like this seventeen step process of getting 1313 00:57:44.239 --> 00:57:47.360 to the hidden Cosmic Ocean and Splunky two, and I've 1314 00:57:48.039 --> 00:57:49.559 made it my goal going to do it this year. 1315 00:57:49.960 --> 00:57:52.880 Twitch dot tv dot Matthew doc Phail's gesture, I guess, 1316 00:57:53.119 --> 00:57:55.000 and then a lot of Division two. Still Division two. 1317 00:57:55.079 --> 00:57:59.039 I still play pretty much every day. I've been a 1318 00:57:59.039 --> 00:58:02.559 big resurgence and support for that game. Like Massive Games 1319 00:58:02.679 --> 00:58:06.400 is Massive Machine, it's massive putting out a lot of content, 1320 00:58:06.599 --> 00:58:10.480 put on a dealc not too long ago, Battle for Brooklyn, 1321 00:58:10.719 --> 00:58:12.280 and this one is just kind of numbers to go 1322 00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:13.880 up because I have like pretty much every exotic and 1323 00:58:13.920 --> 00:58:15.239 I've done everything in the game. But I just still 1324 00:58:15.280 --> 00:58:17.199 find the way that game plays to be really really fun. 1325 00:58:17.280 --> 00:58:20.119 So it's kind of my meat and potatoes game still 1326 00:58:20.199 --> 00:58:21.840 Magic the Gathering. I'm kind of set in my ways 1327 00:58:21.840 --> 00:58:23.119 at this point, and then I do need to get 1328 00:58:23.159 --> 00:58:26.280 back into Blue Blueprints as well. I have an idea 1329 00:58:26.320 --> 00:58:29.039 for a weird streaming series with all these weird epic 1330 00:58:29.079 --> 00:58:31.840 games that get added to my account on Epic. But yeah, 1331 00:58:31.840 --> 00:58:33.599 I've been I've been sicking of the meat and potatoes lately, 1332 00:58:34.239 --> 00:58:36.079 but like you said, mostly reading a lot while I've. 1333 00:58:35.920 --> 00:58:37.760 Been looking for work. Like I just kind of I 1334 00:58:37.840 --> 00:58:39.880 enjoy reading a lot more than video games right now. 1335 00:58:39.880 --> 00:58:42.440 But still time in my heart for the old, the 1336 00:58:42.480 --> 00:58:44.159 old Country. 1337 00:58:44.800 --> 00:58:47.760 Matthew Rory. I need to tell you that I thought 1338 00:58:47.760 --> 00:58:53.519 of you. I think last years Games Calm because I 1339 00:58:53.719 --> 00:58:57.440 sat in on a demo or presentation for a Dying 1340 00:58:57.519 --> 00:59:00.559 Light to update. Yeah. I couldn't folk the whole time 1341 00:59:00.559 --> 00:59:02.679 because I was just thinking what what Rory would think 1342 00:59:02.679 --> 00:59:02.880 of this? 1343 00:59:03.079 --> 00:59:04.079 I will probably love it. 1344 00:59:04.400 --> 00:59:07.159 They're doing a new Dying Light, I want to say, 1345 00:59:07.440 --> 00:59:10.039 or are they still making deal c for Dying Light too? 1346 00:59:10.039 --> 00:59:11.360 I think I don't know. 1347 00:59:11.360 --> 00:59:14.800 There's a new one Dying Light the Beast or something. 1348 00:59:14.920 --> 00:59:19.119 Yeah, that's the one, I said. Okay, how was it yeah, 1349 00:59:19.119 --> 00:59:22.199 I don't know. It reminded me of that Sonic the 1350 00:59:22.199 --> 00:59:25.360 Hedgehog game where he turns into a wereg oh unleas 1351 00:59:26.000 --> 00:59:27.360 unleast Yeah, yes. 1352 00:59:27.360 --> 00:59:29.360 Did you and I do that stream or rebeat Dying 1353 00:59:29.400 --> 00:59:31.880 Light too? And how ridiculous it was at the end 1354 00:59:31.880 --> 00:59:33.599 of that game, like it was I don't know if 1355 00:59:33.599 --> 00:59:35.159 it was you or just be solo with a guest 1356 00:59:35.280 --> 00:59:37.480 or something like that, but that was a ridiculous ending 1357 00:59:37.519 --> 00:59:39.360 to a game, like really put off the rest of 1358 00:59:39.400 --> 00:59:41.760 the game, kind of a you're basically fighting like a 1359 00:59:42.039 --> 00:59:43.679 Goku level of Superman or something like that. 1360 00:59:43.760 --> 00:59:45.599 But it might not have in you maybe to me, 1361 00:59:45.639 --> 00:59:47.360 and I guess I forget. I'm pretty sure it was 1362 00:59:47.400 --> 00:59:47.920 a giant bam. 1363 00:59:47.840 --> 00:59:52.119 Though I remember watching you fight off hordes of zombies. 1364 00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:54.719 Maybe not in Dying Light? What was or it might 1365 00:59:54.760 --> 00:59:55.559 have been Days Gone? 1366 00:59:55.760 --> 00:59:58.599 Oh yeah, yeah, those were Days Gone. I also really 1367 00:59:58.719 --> 01:00:01.760 enjoyed that game. I'm surprisedly remastered it for PS five, 1368 01:00:01.760 --> 01:00:03.199 but if you haven't played, it's pretty decent. 1369 01:00:06.199 --> 01:00:08.960 I would like God this year this year has been 1370 01:00:08.960 --> 01:00:12.079 pretty good for games. H Yeah, I love that little check. 1371 01:00:11.880 --> 01:00:15.000 In so I first halfway through let's go oh my. 1372 01:00:15.159 --> 01:00:17.800 Gosh, okay, bets here right now before we talk about 1373 01:00:17.800 --> 01:00:20.239 the last game on the list. Are we going to 1374 01:00:20.280 --> 01:00:21.360 see spoon Heaven this year? 1375 01:00:21.960 --> 01:00:23.639 Yeah? They said yeah. 1376 01:00:25.159 --> 01:00:29.199 Today Xbox Rock ally depends on it. 1377 01:00:29.280 --> 01:00:35.000 Yeah, this year, Matthew, we're talking about God, I don't remember. 1378 01:00:37.079 --> 01:00:38.079 Of the game. 1379 01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:41.800 You You enjoyed Hollow Night right, the first one? 1380 01:00:42.039 --> 01:00:44.960 Yeah, I got really far into that on my switch. 1381 01:00:45.199 --> 01:00:48.599 I didn't ever beat it. I got past the three 1382 01:00:48.840 --> 01:00:51.719 dudes at the bottom of that long vertical spot, and 1383 01:00:51.719 --> 01:00:53.079 I kind of lost a little. 1384 01:00:52.920 --> 01:00:53.480 Bit, but I did. 1385 01:00:53.679 --> 01:00:55.360 I've tried to replay it a few times. It's just 1386 01:00:55.400 --> 01:00:58.639 the early game like map finding stuff is really annoying. 1387 01:00:58.719 --> 01:01:01.199 We don't have a mini map. I am looking forward 1388 01:01:01.199 --> 01:01:02.800 to Silk Song though, but yeah, All the Night. It's 1389 01:01:02.840 --> 01:01:04.480 a great game. I wish I could go back and 1390 01:01:04.519 --> 01:01:06.800 finish it, but it's kind of a lost track and 1391 01:01:06.920 --> 01:01:08.079 I started all over. 1392 01:01:09.119 --> 01:01:12.639 Fantastic, fantastic last game I have here on the list, 1393 01:01:12.760 --> 01:01:18.239 Mike Elevator Action Invasion, Yeah, so what. 1394 01:01:18.760 --> 01:01:21.719 I yeah, I know, I know. I was actually taken 1395 01:01:21.760 --> 01:01:27.039 to a cool arcade in Orlando called Arcade Monsters. Uh 1396 01:01:27.159 --> 01:01:29.480 so I was checking all sorts of things. One of 1397 01:01:29.480 --> 01:01:36.880 the more fun games though, Is this modern? Remember Elevator Action? Yeah, 1398 01:01:36.880 --> 01:01:38.880 they made they made a new one. It's just more 1399 01:01:38.920 --> 01:01:41.599 of a traditional gallery shooter. You have the guns with 1400 01:01:41.639 --> 01:01:43.920 a ton of kickback. I think it's supposed to actually 1401 01:01:43.920 --> 01:01:46.320 have elevator doors that open it closed on the screen, 1402 01:01:46.360 --> 01:01:49.920 but that wasn't working. But uh, it was basically like 1403 01:01:50.360 --> 01:01:53.800 they made a House of the Dead. But with Elevator Action, 1404 01:01:53.880 --> 01:01:56.599 it's always funny because you're like in a building, you're 1405 01:01:56.639 --> 01:01:58.639 fighting a boss or something or something taught to you, 1406 01:01:58.679 --> 01:02:01.599 and then it always like up up to the bilding 1407 01:02:01.800 --> 01:02:06.360 and it's like if only there was an elevator, Like, 1408 01:02:06.400 --> 01:02:08.920 how can we take care of so you get the elevator. 1409 01:02:09.639 --> 01:02:11.480 It did do one dy thing though that I liked, 1410 01:02:11.519 --> 01:02:14.440 where if you are both kind of shooting within the 1411 01:02:14.519 --> 01:02:17.559 general area, a circle happens around your bullet spots. It's 1412 01:02:17.639 --> 01:02:20.360 kind of double damage, so you're it sentitized to like 1413 01:02:20.719 --> 01:02:24.079 kind of be targeting the same things in it. And 1414 01:02:24.119 --> 01:02:27.000 I thought that aspect of it was pretty fun. But 1415 01:02:27.039 --> 01:02:29.440 besides that, there's just all sorts of wroth, you know, 1416 01:02:29.800 --> 01:02:31.159 god bless roth rills. 1417 01:02:31.840 --> 01:02:32.239 Do you know what? 1418 01:02:32.320 --> 01:02:36.320 People making interesting new arcade games because they had like 1419 01:02:36.400 --> 01:02:39.280 the roth Rills NBA Jam. It was just NBA Jam 1420 01:02:39.559 --> 01:02:43.079 and that was fun. Like the roth Rills Motorcycle game 1421 01:02:43.119 --> 01:02:46.480 that's basically just cruising blast on a motorcycle and that 1422 01:02:46.639 --> 01:02:50.440 was fun too. They also had god the weird Sega 1423 01:02:51.039 --> 01:02:53.880 Racing series Initial D or something like that. 1424 01:02:53.960 --> 01:02:55.079 Yeah. 1425 01:02:55.199 --> 01:02:57.920 Yeah, so it's like, you know, it looks like, you know, 1426 01:02:57.920 --> 01:03:00.599 one of their Daytona things or whatever, but it's a 1427 01:03:00.639 --> 01:03:04.360 story based game and it's only in Japanese. So I'm 1428 01:03:04.360 --> 01:03:08.320 playing this story based Japanese racing game in like the 1429 01:03:08.400 --> 01:03:12.599 full out like car Machine and everything. That was a 1430 01:03:12.639 --> 01:03:13.039 fun time. 1431 01:03:13.800 --> 01:03:16.400 And I didn't know they made an NBA Jam NBA Superstars. 1432 01:03:16.639 --> 01:03:18.480 Yeah, that's it. It's just an NBA Jam and it 1433 01:03:18.519 --> 01:03:19.119 was super fun. 1434 01:03:19.199 --> 01:03:20.719 I want to play this great. 1435 01:03:21.079 --> 01:03:23.320 Yeah, it's great.

About why do they get weird about what. 1443 01:03:42.960 --> 01:03:47.280 Like recording like the game, like recording a friend. I 1444 01:03:47.280 --> 01:03:47.960 don't whatever think. 1445 01:03:48.400 --> 01:03:50.199 No, I don't think that's happened. 1446 01:03:50.239 --> 01:03:52.599 Because I went to a round one yesterday. I was 1447 01:03:52.679 --> 01:03:55.840 dropping off a family member and then I was like, wow, well, 1448 01:03:55.880 --> 01:03:57.679 you know, there's a couple of crane games here I 1449 01:03:57.760 --> 01:04:02.679 might as well partake. And I had just like I 1450 01:04:02.760 --> 01:04:04.920 had the OSMO on me, and then I was just 1451 01:04:04.960 --> 01:04:08.599 like recording myself doing it. And then like an employee 1452 01:04:08.639 --> 01:04:10.320 comes to me and like they're the most gen z 1453 01:04:10.440 --> 01:04:12.519 person in the world. I thought they were gonna call 1454 01:04:12.599 --> 01:04:16.079 me unk and then they just say like, I'm sure 1455 01:04:16.280 --> 01:04:19.039 you can't. You can't record the crane games. 1456 01:04:19.159 --> 01:04:20.960 Yeah, I can see that, Please put it away. 1457 01:04:21.440 --> 01:04:23.679 I believe that, Yeah, because it can be they can 1458 01:04:23.719 --> 01:04:26.639 be manipulated of them. I have like trends because aren't 1459 01:04:26.679 --> 01:04:28.360 they basically like saw machines or like. 1460 01:04:28.280 --> 01:04:30.679 One out of every five designed to market. 1461 01:04:30.760 --> 01:04:31.320 I think you're. 1462 01:04:31.239 --> 01:04:33.280 Right, so that could be you're not allowed to recording 1463 01:04:33.280 --> 01:04:35.599 a casino, and that's the most casino like game of 1464 01:04:36.039 --> 01:04:36.480 you know all. 1465 01:04:37.440 --> 01:04:39.599 I think Rory's right on the nose here. 1466 01:04:39.599 --> 01:04:41.159 I don't want you to expose the scam. 1467 01:04:41.519 --> 01:04:45.000 Yes, crane crane games are I've I've learned to stay away. 1468 01:04:45.159 --> 01:04:47.199 Yeah, they had a lot of pinball there back lare 1469 01:04:47.280 --> 01:04:48.719 on free play, so that was exciting. 1470 01:04:49.000 --> 01:04:53.960 But that is exciting. I don't really get sick of that. 1471 01:04:54.119 --> 01:04:55.880 I usually have to be dragged away from that kind 1472 01:04:55.880 --> 01:04:58.719 of situation. So it's sort of a mixed subject for me. 1473 01:04:58.920 --> 01:05:02.360 You know what, I would appreciate a place that has pinball, 1474 01:05:02.440 --> 01:05:05.039 even if it's paid, but has those little screws in 1475 01:05:05.039 --> 01:05:06.639 the back all the way down instead of all the 1476 01:05:06.679 --> 01:05:08.880 way up, so that goes a little slower and I 1477 01:05:08.920 --> 01:05:11.199 could play a little better, a little longer, because every 1478 01:05:11.480 --> 01:05:14.000 every pinball machine has those little screws on the back 1479 01:05:14.000 --> 01:05:15.679 that goes up and down for height, and at the 1480 01:05:15.679 --> 01:05:17.239 max height there's just way too fast for me. 1481 01:05:17.559 --> 01:05:18.199 I'm fortunate. 1482 01:05:18.320 --> 01:05:21.679 Well, you're supposed to have it calibrated to a certain degree. 1483 01:05:21.679 --> 01:05:24.320 I believe it is like seven degrees. 1484 01:05:24.440 --> 01:05:26.599 I want to say, I never knew about these screws, 1485 01:05:26.639 --> 01:05:27.199 just all standard. 1486 01:05:28.119 --> 01:05:29.559 Look at the back of a pinball machine. Sometimes I 1487 01:05:29.639 --> 01:05:30.840 see one, Yeah, that goes up. 1488 01:05:30.920 --> 01:05:33.960 Now the legs they have them on all four legs. 1489 01:05:34.000 --> 01:05:38.199 They're these sort of like adjustable height pillars. 1490 01:05:38.239 --> 01:05:39.960 Did you make it like a forty five degree angle. 1491 01:05:40.199 --> 01:05:43.559 Yeah, you could be a little shallower than most of 1492 01:05:43.559 --> 01:05:44.960 the way the bars have them set up. 1493 01:05:45.440 --> 01:05:45.760 Yeah, but. 1494 01:05:47.239 --> 01:05:50.119 They are. I do believe, and you know, maybe I'm 1495 01:05:50.159 --> 01:05:52.199 not one hundred percent accurate here, but I do believe 1496 01:05:52.239 --> 01:05:56.559 there is like a certain universally agreed upon angle that 1497 01:05:56.679 --> 01:05:59.280 all pinball machines is sort of be sitting at. It 1498 01:05:59.320 --> 01:05:59.719 makes sense. 1499 01:06:00.519 --> 01:06:04.960 Yeah, that being said, no one will stop me from 1500 01:06:05.199 --> 01:06:08.159 playing great games. I did win at two of them, 1501 01:06:08.199 --> 01:06:11.599 and I only spent eight dollars. 1502 01:06:12.280 --> 01:06:15.119 That's not bad. Yeah, and you were entertained. 1503 01:06:15.679 --> 01:06:18.039 I was entertained. I was like, I'm very good at 1504 01:06:18.079 --> 01:06:20.119 this and I wanted to put it up on the 1505 01:06:20.159 --> 01:06:24.280 GB Socials until this young man told me I couldn't. 1506 01:06:23.800 --> 01:06:25.599 So should you should have?

Very nice 1523 01:06:57.920 --> 01:06:59.800 guy apart from that, but it was like, I don't 1524 01:06:59.840 --> 01:07:01.679 know your dogs will have bodily autonomy? 1525 01:07:01.679 --> 01:07:04.840 Do they not?

But I can I can do I 1542 01:08:04.400 --> 01:08:05.519 can actually read it here if we want. 1543 01:08:05.599 --> 01:08:06.119 Yeah. 1544 01:08:06.559 --> 01:08:10.760 Former Blizzard president and Xbox Exact says Xbox needs to 1545 01:08:11.239 --> 01:08:14.079 pick their lane and stick to it. That's coming from 1546 01:08:14.159 --> 01:08:18.239 Chris Scullion at VGC, that's right. Former Blizzard president Mike 1547 01:08:18.319 --> 01:08:21.520 Yabara says Xbox should decide what its identity should be 1548 01:08:21.520 --> 01:08:23.520 going forward instead of trying to be a jack of 1549 01:08:23.560 --> 01:08:26.560 all trades. You Saie Yabarra. He served various roles in 1550 01:08:26.640 --> 01:08:28.640 Microsoft for twenty years. It culminated in a role as 1551 01:08:28.680 --> 01:08:31.359 corporate vice president on Xbox Live and Xbox Campas before 1552 01:08:31.359 --> 01:08:33.960 becoming Blizzard president for three years. He took to x 1553 01:08:34.159 --> 01:08:37.319 to give his views on Xbox's current situation. It's tough 1554 01:08:37.359 --> 01:08:39.479 to see Xbox confused about who it is and what 1555 01:08:39.560 --> 01:08:42.600 it should be. Youbora wrote, some great people there. Still 1556 01:08:42.760 --> 01:08:44.680 they need to figure out what needs to Mike take 1557 01:08:44.680 --> 01:08:44.960 it about it. 1558 01:08:44.960 --> 01:08:45.359 He's back. 1559 01:08:45.880 --> 01:08:48.159 They have to figure out what needs to change and fast. 1560 01:08:48.279 --> 01:08:51.319 Yobar continued, I'm a big fan and will always bleed 1561 01:08:51.399 --> 01:08:54.880 green checking the team off from the sidelines. Pick your 1562 01:08:54.960 --> 01:08:57.439 lane and stick to it, as by Fall or what 1563 01:08:57.520 --> 01:09:00.640 he thinks xboxould do should do. Your Bar said he 1564 01:09:00.640 --> 01:09:03.760 felt it should focus on being a publisher rather than 1565 01:09:04.159 --> 01:09:08.680 a console manufacturer. I always got weird vibes from your 1566 01:09:08.680 --> 01:09:12.520 Bar during his brief stint at Blizzard Entertainment there for 1567 01:09:12.560 --> 01:09:15.680 a few years. Yeah you hate him, right, No, it 1568 01:09:15.680 --> 01:09:18.359 hates a strong word, but the vibes were a little 1569 01:09:18.359 --> 01:09:22.640 bit with weird. Yeah. Yeah, So it's one of those things. 1570 01:09:22.760 --> 01:09:24.159 It's like I don't know if he's saying anything that's 1571 01:09:24.159 --> 01:09:26.359 super intry here. I don't know why he's saying anything 1572 01:09:26.359 --> 01:09:27.760 at all though who asked him? 1573 01:09:27.800 --> 01:09:31.039 But that's my point, Like it's like, okay, buddy, thanks 1574 01:09:31.039 --> 01:09:33.840 for like the uh, you know, unique insight that only 1575 01:09:33.880 --> 01:09:36.319 you could somehow provide about a thing that everyone fucking 1576 01:09:36.399 --> 01:09:38.359 knows exactly. 1577 01:09:39.119 --> 01:09:41.199 Like it's I don't know if it's burning bridges. But 1578 01:09:41.479 --> 01:09:43.039 I can't see how this helps him at all. 1579 01:09:43.239 --> 01:09:44.560 I don't know what he even means. 1580 01:09:44.560 --> 01:09:46.279 Like they have so many studios and so many different 1581 01:09:46.319 --> 01:09:48.399 developing teams, Like what are they supposed to focus on? 1582 01:09:48.399 --> 01:09:50.319 Like one genre or something like that, Like there. 1583 01:09:50.720 --> 01:09:54.119 He means I think he means uh, Because so you know, 1584 01:09:54.159 --> 01:09:56.640 they are still making a new console, and they are 1585 01:09:56.680 --> 01:10:00.760 partnering with rog Gley for a portable. They're putting their 1586 01:10:00.840 --> 01:10:03.399 name on a quest. Now the thing is the rog 1587 01:10:03.439 --> 01:10:07.399 Atli thing in that Quest thing. Those are very low 1588 01:10:07.520 --> 01:10:11.720 risk investments for them, right, they aren't making those machines 1589 01:10:11.720 --> 01:10:13.800 they're putting They're slapping an Xbox logo on it and 1590 01:10:13.840 --> 01:10:15.439 like some software shell. 1591 01:10:15.640 --> 01:10:19.479 Right when did they announce the whole Meta Quest partnership 1592 01:10:19.520 --> 01:10:21.520 Because that just came out of nowhere for me, like 1593 01:10:21.600 --> 01:10:22.039 last week. 1594 01:10:22.159 --> 01:10:23.840 Yeah, I feel like that was the straw that broke 1595 01:10:23.880 --> 01:10:26.760 the camel's back. Thoughfore the impetus of this conversation. Sure, 1596 01:10:26.840 --> 01:10:29.920 right like after you see that happen, you're like, okay, 1597 01:10:29.920 --> 01:10:33.640 they're doing Xbox, you know this kind of okay, Well 1598 01:10:33.680 --> 01:10:36.199 maybe they are strangled spreading themselves a little tooth in, 1599 01:10:36.239 --> 01:10:36.960 but still. 1600 01:10:39.039 --> 01:10:40.920 Happened today. Like I thought today was going to be 1601 01:10:40.920 --> 01:10:42.159 like a huge brown of layoffs. 1602 01:10:42.199 --> 01:10:43.880 Haven't seen There are supposed to be a ton of 1603 01:10:43.960 --> 01:10:48.159 layoffs at Microsoft, and we are expecting them to impact 1604 01:10:48.520 --> 01:10:51.840 Xbox this time around. I haven't seen anything about those 1605 01:10:51.920 --> 01:10:53.159 going happening now. 1606 01:10:53.279 --> 01:10:55.039 It looks like Blue Sky today. Maybe there's a bunch 1607 01:10:55.079 --> 01:10:58.159 of LinkedIn got Olino's LinkedIn. Whenever anything happens for me 1608 01:10:58.279 --> 01:11:01.159 is always like oh shit, right, believe. 1609 01:11:00.960 --> 01:11:03.439 It's a godless place, not fun. 1610 01:11:04.359 --> 01:11:07.520 I believe the people are saying turn ten. It's looking 1611 01:11:07.560 --> 01:11:09.880 like they might be shut down. Who does the votes 1612 01:11:10.000 --> 01:11:16.039 forts of motorsport games? Not her Rizon the forts of Motorsports. 1613 01:11:15.079 --> 01:11:18.119 There, Brian Meckburg. I don't know if he's still there 1614 01:11:18.199 --> 01:11:18.319 or not. 1615 01:11:18.319 --> 01:11:23.199 I think he moved on, but yeah, I mean, I 1616 01:11:23.479 --> 01:11:27.199 think clearly the you know, the publishing stuff is going 1617 01:11:27.279 --> 01:11:30.600 to be important for Xbox. They're not abandoning the consoles yet. 1618 01:11:30.640 --> 01:11:32.399 We still none of us really know what that next 1619 01:11:32.439 --> 01:11:35.920 console is going to look like. We're hearing some things 1620 01:11:36.079 --> 01:11:38.840 about that. Let's see what that is and how really 1621 01:11:38.840 --> 01:11:42.319 invested in it they are. Maybe it's the last Xbox 1622 01:11:42.640 --> 01:11:44.760 I don't know. But they're definitely gonna be making money 1623 01:11:44.760 --> 01:11:48.800 by selling Call of Duty and Halo and Gears of 1624 01:11:48.800 --> 01:11:54.319 War on every console including PlayStation. All right, Ninteito nots 1625 01:11:54.319 --> 01:11:57.479 to switch one price increases in Canada amid us train tension. 1626 01:11:57.520 --> 01:12:00.439 This is from Andy Robinson a VGC and again this 1627 01:12:00.479 --> 01:12:04.279 is concerning switch one stuff, not switch to. Nintendo is 1628 01:12:04.279 --> 01:12:06.399 referred to eraise prices for many of its products and 1629 01:12:06.399 --> 01:12:10.720 services in Canada due to market conditions. Affected products include 1630 01:12:10.760 --> 01:12:14.239 the Nintendo Switch O end model, the normal Switch, switch light, 1631 01:12:14.359 --> 01:12:18.680 physical and digital switch games, and Switch accessories. Other Nintendo products, 1632 01:12:18.680 --> 01:12:22.399 including a mebo and Switch online memberships also see price increases. 1633 01:12:22.520 --> 01:12:25.239 Nintendo said to switch you, along with the successor software, 1634 01:12:25.319 --> 01:12:28.319 remain at their current price points. New pricing information will 1635 01:12:28.319 --> 01:12:34.239 be shared on the Nintendo Canada website on August first. Gosh, 1636 01:12:34.319 --> 01:12:36.960 the switch one raising prices for that thing at a 1637 01:12:37.000 --> 01:12:40.920 time where it's it's it's wild because normally the old 1638 01:12:40.960 --> 01:12:43.840 stuff gets cheaper when you think how it works. 1639 01:12:44.399 --> 01:12:47.600 Yeah, is this It is this part of Nintendo just 1640 01:12:47.600 --> 01:12:50.720 wanting to increase bang for their buck of like, hey, 1641 01:12:50.840 --> 01:12:52.680 we want to clear all these. 1642 01:12:53.239 --> 01:12:55.800 It's because of the weird trade tension. 1643 01:12:56.039 --> 01:12:59.359 Oh okay, yeah, it's real.

Donkey Kunk Bananza developer 1667 01:14:10.960 --> 01:14:14.840 finally confirmed by Nintendo, sparking questions over when Switch twos 1668 01:14:14.880 --> 01:14:17.119 three d Mile will Arrive. This is by Tom Phillips 1669 01:14:17.159 --> 01:14:20.439 at IGN. The title is finally confirmed to developed the 1670 01:14:20.520 --> 01:14:24.279 team behind Donkey Kunk Bananas but Bananas Bonanza, and as 1671 01:14:24.279 --> 01:14:28.119 many fans had suspected, the upcoming switch to Blockbuster is 1672 01:14:28.159 --> 01:14:30.720 being made by the team who previously worked on Super Mayo. 1673 01:14:30.760 --> 01:14:35.159 Otists what presentation affected by a g and ahead of 1674 01:14:35.159 --> 01:14:38.439 a new Donkey Kunk Bananza hands on preview and title 1675 01:14:38.479 --> 01:14:40.119 said that the same staff he worked on honestly also 1676 01:14:40.119 --> 01:14:43.239 developed this new DK title. The confimation comes after Nintendo 1677 01:14:43.520 --> 01:14:45.720 previously held off from stating which of its teams were 1678 01:14:45.720 --> 01:14:48.960 behind the game, even after Bonanza was playable publicly at 1679 01:14:48.960 --> 01:14:53.239 the switch Tos global launch tour. I'm not surprised, but 1680 01:14:53.279 --> 01:14:55.880 there were there were some holdouts there who uh were 1681 01:14:55.960 --> 01:14:59.920 still somewhat skeptical that this could possibly be or that 1682 01:15:00.039 --> 01:15:01.880 this team had to be just straight up split off 1683 01:15:01.920 --> 01:15:04.840 and it was a new team with maybe some veterans 1684 01:15:04.840 --> 01:15:07.960 from that Odyssey team. But no, this is the next 1685 01:15:08.039 --> 01:15:11.520 game from the people who made Super Mario Odyssey. It's 1686 01:15:11.560 --> 01:15:14.319 not surprising. Are any of you worried now about what 1687 01:15:14.359 --> 01:15:15.960 this means for when we're going to get that three 1688 01:15:16.039 --> 01:15:16.760 D Mario game? 1689 01:15:17.159 --> 01:15:20.039 No, I mean, no way, they've just been it's been 1690 01:15:20.039 --> 01:15:21.359 on the back burner. Oh, we'll get to that after 1691 01:15:21.399 --> 01:15:24.039 Donkey Kong. Like, I'm sure it's well on the way, 1692 01:15:24.119 --> 01:15:26.439 and I'm sure it's going to be great. I don't 1693 01:15:26.439 --> 01:15:28.199 know how they operate with their teams or whatever, but 1694 01:15:28.319 --> 01:15:31.000 they're not gonna let Mario be like some B team product. 1695 01:15:31.039 --> 01:15:31.239 You know. 1696 01:15:31.399 --> 01:15:36.159 No, no, but the timing is pretty Wait another year 1697 01:15:36.239 --> 01:15:36.920 or two, that's fine. 1698 01:15:37.960 --> 01:15:38.359 Yeah. 1699 01:15:38.479 --> 01:15:40.199 I was like, there are some people who were like, oh, 1700 01:15:40.199 --> 01:15:42.239 maybe we're still getting a three D Mario game this year. 1701 01:15:42.640 --> 01:15:45.039 That seems less likely. And I will say, you know, 1702 01:15:45.159 --> 01:15:46.359 some people like, well maybe next year. 1703 01:15:47.560 --> 01:15:48.119 Maybe. 1704 01:15:48.199 --> 01:15:51.399 I do think some people maybe need to get prepared 1705 01:15:51.439 --> 01:15:53.439 for the potential of no three D Mario till twenty 1706 01:15:53.479 --> 01:15:54.560 twenty seven or. 1707 01:15:54.720 --> 01:15:57.119 And I do think people forget. I know, it's the 1708 01:15:57.119 --> 01:16:00.199 difference between two and three D, but like there is 1709 01:16:00.239 --> 01:16:04.399 maybe some sort of I don't know, reasoning of like, well, 1710 01:16:04.439 --> 01:16:07.479 you got your wonder, you got your Mario fixed with 1711 01:16:07.640 --> 01:16:10.279 something it wasn't the three D one. 1712 01:16:10.600 --> 01:16:11.920 Sorry, I mean to. 1713 01:16:11.800 --> 01:16:14.640 Me, it's like, Okay, the team is team behind Odyssey 1714 01:16:14.720 --> 01:16:17.640 is making a three D platformer in like the Mario universe. 1715 01:16:17.680 --> 01:16:20.359 It's like, Okay, yeah, you've replaced Mario with a monkey. 1716 01:16:20.520 --> 01:16:22.920 It's it's fine, It's gonna be great and hit kind 1717 01:16:22.920 --> 01:16:24.960 of the same notes and have some fun new wrinkles 1718 01:16:24.960 --> 01:16:25.319 and stuff. 1719 01:16:25.359 --> 01:16:25.560 You know. 1720 01:16:25.960 --> 01:16:28.359 No, I'm exactly the same. The other interesting thing here 1721 01:16:28.399 --> 01:16:31.319 is that Nintendo, it's weird that they won't just tell 1722 01:16:31.399 --> 01:16:34.720 us right away like so many people, so many other people, 1723 01:16:34.760 --> 01:16:36.920 if they were in charge of this would at the 1724 01:16:37.039 --> 01:16:38.920 very beginning of that first trailer be like from the 1725 01:16:38.960 --> 01:16:43.479 team that brought to Super Mario Odyssey. But Nintendo's go 1726 01:16:43.600 --> 01:16:46.039 to answer whenever they're asked who what team's making game 1727 01:16:46.159 --> 01:16:48.600 is always say wait till it comes out and read 1728 01:16:48.640 --> 01:16:51.399 the credits, at least alone. The fact that they answered 1729 01:16:51.399 --> 01:16:52.439 this at all is something. 1730 01:16:53.279 --> 01:16:57.560 Look, occasionally they exhibit like very alien behavior, you know, 1731 01:16:57.760 --> 01:17:02.399 occasionally that I'm saying, they just sort of like they 1732 01:17:02.680 --> 01:17:05.920 they just they are vibrating at a different frequency a 1733 01:17:05.960 --> 01:17:06.520 lot of the time. 1734 01:17:06.560 --> 01:17:09.000 Well, they got famous in the eighties or like not 1735 01:17:09.079 --> 01:17:11.199 having credits because I didn't want people to get poached, 1736 01:17:11.279 --> 01:17:12.439 if I recall correctly, that. 1737 01:17:12.880 --> 01:17:15.800 Was a that was a regular video game industry practice 1738 01:17:15.840 --> 01:17:18.680 at the time, honestly, But yeah, they were definitely big 1739 01:17:18.800 --> 01:17:21.319 into that as well. Then they're still bad about crediting 1740 01:17:21.439 --> 01:17:24.760 everybody to this day, so they're yeah, they are, just 1741 01:17:24.800 --> 01:17:26.640 they want people to just think of things as being 1742 01:17:26.680 --> 01:17:30.199 made by Nintendo, right, Nintendo made sure? What do you 1743 01:17:30.239 --> 01:17:34.079 mean a Mario team. It's just all Nintendo, who's game freak. 1744 01:17:34.159 --> 01:17:36.520 We don't know them what they're making a game for 1745 01:17:36.640 --> 01:17:40.760 PlayStation or whatever, who cares. So it's a little bit weird. 1746 01:17:40.760 --> 01:17:42.560 But I'm glad that they at least did come out 1747 01:17:43.119 --> 01:17:44.960 and say this, even though I don't know. It seemed 1748 01:17:44.960 --> 01:17:47.319 it seemed blaked int to me from the beginning. 1749 01:17:47.920 --> 01:17:51.039 I mean, most importantly, Bury, the lead here chat did 1750 01:17:51.079 --> 01:17:53.600 say something about wrinkle Kong is in this game, which 1751 01:17:53.600 --> 01:17:56.119 I don't think has been confirmed yet. Still no funky. 1752 01:17:56.279 --> 01:18:01.039 I'm looking for confirmation of Wrinkley Kong. If Jack and like, 1753 01:18:01.239 --> 01:18:03.880 but she's dead, she was a ghost. But like, if 1754 01:18:03.880 --> 01:18:06.119 this is back in time because Pauline's a kid, this 1755 01:18:06.159 --> 01:18:08.560 could be before she died, you know that's true. 1756 01:18:08.640 --> 01:18:14.000 What if this is the Kriaky Kong fails timeline that I. 1757 01:18:13.960 --> 01:18:16.159 Want to get the Donkey Kong historia. 1758 01:18:17.600 --> 01:18:21.520 Exactly.

This is gonna 1763 01:18:34.000 --> 01:18:36.159 be dot here a couple of weeks. I cannot wait. 1764 01:18:36.520 --> 01:18:38.199 Tony Hawks and Donkey Kong coming out in. 1765 01:18:38.199 --> 01:18:39.880 A few weeks. 1766 01:18:40.199 --> 01:18:40.640 Good July. 1767 01:18:41.119 --> 01:18:42.119 I am excited for July. 1768 01:18:42.279 --> 01:18:44.399 How is Skate four not out yet? 1769 01:18:45.279 --> 01:18:48.600 I think skateboards miss the boat in by boat, I 1770 01:18:48.640 --> 01:18:50.800 mean the cruise ship level until the ext pro Skate 1771 01:18:50.880 --> 01:18:52.520 three that I'm going to be partying and all a. 1772 01:18:52.479 --> 01:18:54.000 Sudden god. 1773 01:18:55.880 --> 01:18:55.960 Uh. 1774 01:18:56.119 --> 01:19:00.279 Fans slam the Altars after discovering evidence of undisclosed jen 1775 01:19:00.359 --> 01:19:03.640 AI in images, text, and translation. This is by Vicky 1776 01:19:03.640 --> 01:19:07.159 Blake at Eurogamer. Players have hit out at the Altars 1777 01:19:07.199 --> 01:19:09.880 developer eleven Bit Studios that their AI prompts were discovered 1778 01:19:09.920 --> 01:19:13.520 in both subtitles and flavor text in the game. It's 1779 01:19:13.520 --> 01:19:16.960 intimating a routine use of large language models without disclosure. 1780 01:19:17.359 --> 01:19:19.840 Since Jerry twenty twenty four, FALF has required games that 1781 01:19:19.920 --> 01:19:22.239 use pre or live generator AI to divulge this as 1782 01:19:22.279 --> 01:19:27.119 part of the Steam distribution agreement. One such example, an 1783 01:19:27.159 --> 01:19:29.439 in game screen that's presumably there to look all sci 1784 01:19:29.439 --> 01:19:32.800 fi and scientific begins with Sure, here's a revised version 1785 01:19:32.840 --> 01:19:37.319 focusing purely on scientific and astronomical data. The studio did 1786 01:19:37.319 --> 01:19:39.039 have a statement for this. They said, we've seen a 1787 01:19:39.079 --> 01:19:41.880 wide range of accusations regarding the use of AI generated 1788 01:19:41.880 --> 01:19:44.359 content in the Altars. We feel it's important to clarify 1789 01:19:44.439 --> 01:19:47.680 our approach and give you more context. AI generated assets 1790 01:19:47.720 --> 01:19:52.000 were used strictly as temporary work in progresses during the 1791 01:19:52.079 --> 01:19:55.119 development process and in a very limited manner. Our team 1792 01:19:55.159 --> 01:19:58.920 is always prioritized meaningful, handcrafted storytelling as one of the 1793 01:19:58.920 --> 01:20:06.000 foundations of our game. Blah blah blah. This one's interesting. 1794 01:20:06.119 --> 01:20:10.840 It's it both it sucks and it feels like you're 1795 01:20:10.840 --> 01:20:12.840 going to use temp stuff. Maybe it should just be 1796 01:20:12.960 --> 01:20:15.279 the most obvious temp stuff in the world, like just 1797 01:20:15.319 --> 01:20:19.479 the right just the word temporary, don't accidentally keep it 1798 01:20:19.520 --> 01:20:20.119 in your game. 1799 01:20:20.239 --> 01:20:22.600 And then that's really funny because sometimes that does happen still, 1800 01:20:22.680 --> 01:20:25.079 like like we've seen this temporary billboard. 1801 01:20:25.199 --> 01:20:27.439 Yeah, I'm a feeling this happens a lot more than 1802 01:20:27.560 --> 01:20:30.720 than people know, like coming from like we didn't do 1803 01:20:30.760 --> 01:20:32.720 anything like that. At NOUL, But I have a feeling 1804 01:20:32.760 --> 01:20:35.079 like small I don't know the team that made the alters, 1805 01:20:35.119 --> 01:20:37.119 but I'm a feeling like small teams will be doing 1806 01:20:37.119 --> 01:20:39.039 this a fair amount going forward and trying their best 1807 01:20:39.039 --> 01:20:41.760 to yeah, take it out hopefully right. 1808 01:20:42.439 --> 01:20:45.920 I can almost understand if they're frustrated, because you know, 1809 01:20:46.399 --> 01:20:50.039 this is being all this AI stuff is being deliberate 1810 01:20:50.079 --> 01:20:51.960 and promise to these develop persess it's going to help 1811 01:20:52.000 --> 01:20:54.640 them with game development and blah blah blah, and you know, 1812 01:20:54.680 --> 01:20:57.439 I guess from their perspective, like, well, that's what we're doing, 1813 01:20:57.479 --> 01:21:00.760 and everybody mad and they hate us. Everyone's mad and 1814 01:21:00.800 --> 01:21:03.680 hates them because it looks bad and it's a crappy 1815 01:21:04.039 --> 01:21:06.159 product and it's you know, if we're going to help 1816 01:21:06.159 --> 01:21:09.399 game development, it can't be at the expense of quality. 1817 01:21:10.279 --> 01:21:13.119 But this shure seems like a further warning for a 1818 01:21:13.159 --> 01:21:16.399 lot of these developers that this stuff is just incredibly 1819 01:21:16.479 --> 01:21:18.920 toxic right now and you have to be incredibly careful 1820 01:21:18.920 --> 01:21:19.119 with it. 1821 01:21:19.159 --> 01:21:20.840 I mean, it reminds me of like the NFT stuff. 1822 01:21:20.880 --> 01:21:22.680 It's like when yeah, everybody was trying to do that 1823 01:21:22.760 --> 01:21:26.119 and gamers were just like largely roundly just like hey, 1824 01:21:26.439 --> 01:21:26.960 fuck this. 1825 01:21:27.079 --> 01:21:28.560 We don't want this, like they're doing it what. 1826 01:21:28.600 --> 01:21:30.159 They I you know how. 1827 01:21:32.439 --> 01:21:36.600 In Gmail, how it'll create create the separate tabs for like, hey, 1828 01:21:36.640 --> 01:21:40.119 this is your promotion stuff, this is social blah blah blah. 1829 01:21:40.359 --> 01:21:43.760 I normally just ignore the promotions, turn those off. Yeah, 1830 01:21:43.760 --> 01:21:48.239 but I'm scrolling through and Louis Vuitton Folks is offering 1831 01:21:48.520 --> 01:21:51.119 a free NFT if you buy a bag right now. 1832 01:21:51.800 --> 01:21:54.560 Oh shit, hitting right at the top of that curve, 1833 01:21:54.840 --> 01:21:55.279 no doubt. 1834 01:21:55.439 --> 01:21:57.520 Yeah, seriously, way to stay current? 1835 01:21:58.840 --> 01:22:02.159 Alrighty here next up, Square Inix will make more turn 1836 01:22:02.239 --> 01:22:05.600 based games and recognizes the success of clarib Scure Expedition 1837 01:22:05.680 --> 01:22:14.119 thirty three. Yes, not many salty, outrageous success coming for 1838 01:22:14.159 --> 01:22:17.079 claib Scare Expedition thirty three. The game had potential, but 1839 01:22:17.119 --> 01:22:20.560 it's likely exceeded all expectations in twenty twenty five. So 1840 01:22:20.680 --> 01:22:23.720 much so a square Unitch investor is reportedly pushing for 1841 01:22:23.760 --> 01:22:26.000 Square Nex to shift yours back to turn based games, 1842 01:22:26.319 --> 01:22:29.399 using Final Fantasy and drag Quest as examples found. Fantasy 1843 01:22:29.399 --> 01:22:31.640 Peerist would probably love the return of a purely turn 1844 01:22:31.680 --> 01:22:35.119 based foul fantasy game, according to a translated post from 1845 01:22:35.159 --> 01:22:37.880 Ganke one score Innich investor is pushing for the company 1846 01:22:37.880 --> 01:22:41.000 to return to its roots. At the Square Nix chairs meeting, 1847 01:22:41.039 --> 01:22:42.680 one investor said they would like the new Dragon quest 1848 01:22:42.680 --> 01:22:44.720 of ful fans games to be turn based and highlighted 1849 01:22:44.760 --> 01:22:48.720 Expistitition thirty three success example. Square Anks responded that they 1850 01:22:48.720 --> 01:22:51.439 are aware of Expedition thirty three and believe that command 1851 01:22:51.479 --> 01:22:54.560 based RPGs are the origin of Square Inx. They value 1852 01:22:54.560 --> 01:22:56.920 the genre of command based RPGs and plan to continue 1853 01:22:56.920 --> 01:22:59.560 delivering such games in the future. Now, the Square Enix 1854 01:22:59.600 --> 01:23:03.399 does still make turn based games, but it's usually I 1855 01:23:03.439 --> 01:23:05.039 don't say it's not Triple A, but you know, it's 1856 01:23:05.039 --> 01:23:09.000 Bravely Default too, It's Octopath Traveler too. But you know, 1857 01:23:09.359 --> 01:23:12.920 with Final Fantasy sixteen in particular, the language was very 1858 01:23:13.000 --> 01:23:15.760 much like, we need this game to reach a bigger audience, 1859 01:23:15.760 --> 01:23:19.640 so therefore it can't be a turn based game for nerds. 1860 01:23:19.920 --> 01:23:22.439 You know, that was essentially what they're saying. 1861 01:23:22.479 --> 01:23:23.359 It's not reductive. 1862 01:23:24.840 --> 01:23:26.880 Well, but like, the part that doesn't make any sense 1863 01:23:26.920 --> 01:23:29.520 to me is that it feels like a lot of 1864 01:23:29.600 --> 01:23:32.760 other studios kind of doubled down on turn based, like 1865 01:23:32.760 --> 01:23:36.600 like a Dragon switched from like a brawler to turn 1866 01:23:36.600 --> 01:23:39.920 based action and got received a lot of success, and 1867 01:23:40.039 --> 01:23:45.159 we saw when Square was pivoting for Final Fantasy sixteen 1868 01:23:45.239 --> 01:23:49.159 to be all action RPG. I don't know personas doing 1869 01:23:49.279 --> 01:23:53.039 Gangbusters or continues to do huge ass numbers, and that 1870 01:23:53.159 --> 01:23:55.960 is still and has been a turn based game. I 1871 01:23:55.960 --> 01:23:57.239 don't fucking understand Square. 1872 01:23:57.560 --> 01:24:00.399 I was so disappointed by Final Fantasy sixteen. I hope 1873 01:24:00.439 --> 01:24:02.479 they do kind of take some of this to heart. 1874 01:24:02.560 --> 01:24:05.439 Like I barely got through the first like zone of sixteen. 1875 01:24:06.359 --> 01:24:08.520 It was aggressively bad looking on PS five. 1876 01:24:08.319 --> 01:24:10.520 Which is kind of stunnying, like it didn't run very well. 1877 01:24:10.520 --> 01:24:12.680 But I'm a huge fan of Final Fantasy in general, 1878 01:24:12.720 --> 01:24:15.720 and I've played pretty much all those games. Man, if 1879 01:24:15.760 --> 01:24:19.319 you want to see some thirsty behavior, go to a 1880 01:24:19.359 --> 01:24:21.800 game shop and try to find some Final Fantasy Magic 1881 01:24:21.960 --> 01:24:24.520 the gathering product. It is crazy what people are doing 1882 01:24:24.520 --> 01:24:24.920 for that shit. 1883 01:24:25.239 --> 01:24:27.039 So Final Fantasy has no problem being. 1884 01:24:27.119 --> 01:24:31.399 A platform or you know, it still is has a 1885 01:24:31.479 --> 01:24:33.479 huge amount of people very interested in what they're doing. 1886 01:24:33.479 --> 01:24:37.119 But I think sixteen, especially in fifteen two, wasn't like, 1887 01:24:37.159 --> 01:24:40.000 you know, they've been missfiring on their main series, So 1888 01:24:40.079 --> 01:24:42.159 maybe take a take a few years off, make a 1889 01:24:42.199 --> 01:24:45.439 smaller one make something like Final Fantasy ten. I'd love 1890 01:24:45.479 --> 01:24:47.239 to see Final Fantasy ten three. 1891 01:24:47.279 --> 01:24:50.439 How about that go back to the well, let's. 1892 01:24:50.239 --> 01:24:52.880 Do it even with a Dragon Quest. They haven't said 1893 01:24:53.000 --> 01:24:55.319 much about Dragon Quest twelve since announcing it a few 1894 01:24:55.399 --> 01:24:57.680 years ago, but they are kind of priming us to 1895 01:24:57.720 --> 01:24:59.920 get right for gameplay changes. So I think people were 1896 01:25:00.119 --> 01:25:03.880 been worrying that series. But you know, stay turn based 1897 01:25:03.920 --> 01:25:06.119 even longer than Final Fantasy was going to do a shift, 1898 01:25:06.119 --> 01:25:10.439 and who really does want that? Yeah, I guess you know, 1899 01:25:10.680 --> 01:25:14.079 when Claire Obscurer was a hit and also metaphor Refontazio 1900 01:25:14.199 --> 01:25:15.960 last year and things like, you know, the like a 1901 01:25:16.000 --> 01:25:19.000 Dragon series, I was hoping that this was gonna wake 1902 01:25:19.000 --> 01:25:22.239 Square up a bit that. You know, I get it 1903 01:25:22.439 --> 01:25:24.800 some people are going to see a very normal turn 1904 01:25:24.840 --> 01:25:27.600 based system and maybe find that a little doll or 1905 01:25:27.640 --> 01:25:30.079 not for them. But you can do things to make 1906 01:25:30.199 --> 01:25:33.920 turn based combat more exciting and feel more modern and 1907 01:25:34.039 --> 01:25:37.119 interesting to other people. And doesn't you know you don't 1908 01:25:37.159 --> 01:25:40.159 have to directly copy what Claire Obscure was doing with 1909 01:25:40.279 --> 01:25:43.920 parrying and things like that, but you know, you've got 1910 01:25:43.960 --> 01:25:46.399 creative people working there, creatively figure out a way to 1911 01:25:46.479 --> 01:25:49.760 make your system stand out and be engaging. Also, I 1912 01:25:50.079 --> 01:25:53.640 definitely hope the next Final Fantasy goes back to that 1913 01:25:53.680 --> 01:25:57.399 system a bit and isn't just another weird genre diversion. 1914 01:25:57.800 --> 01:26:00.479 Agreed, You have to imagine seventeen is pretty well development, 1915 01:26:00.479 --> 01:26:02.760 at least predevelopment. I'm curious what they can do now 1916 01:26:02.800 --> 01:26:06.720 to pivot. But yeah, card based battlers put it brought, 1917 01:26:06.760 --> 01:26:08.840 write it down. You know, somebody's send that note over. 1918 01:26:09.600 --> 01:26:14.119 Yeah. Yeah, fancy Star Online episode three too. Uh? Next 1919 01:26:14.159 --> 01:26:16.920 up here. Band Dynamico Summer Showcase airs this week. This 1920 01:26:16.960 --> 01:26:19.960 is from Marcus Stewart at Game Informer Welcome Back. Game Informer. 1921 01:26:20.399 --> 01:26:22.840 Ban dy Namco is holding a summer showcase this week 1922 01:26:22.880 --> 01:26:25.920 on Wednesday, July second. The digital event will feature new 1923 01:26:25.920 --> 01:26:28.680 information upcoming games, as well as a couple of exclusive reveals. 1924 01:26:29.039 --> 01:26:32.319 The showcase begins at twelve pm Specific three pm Eastern. 1925 01:26:32.680 --> 01:26:34.760 In terms of new announcements, a trailer teas is the 1926 01:26:34.800 --> 01:26:38.439 reveal of a new My Hero Academia game and exclusive 1927 01:26:38.479 --> 01:26:41.279 trailer reviewer for Toa in the Guardians of the Sacred Tree. 1928 01:26:41.520 --> 01:26:43.840 The showcase will feature a gameplay deep dive for Digimont 1929 01:26:43.880 --> 01:26:46.079 story Time Stranger I believe they're also going to be 1930 01:26:46.159 --> 01:26:50.239 talking about coding to Shadow Labyrinth, that pac Men, metro 1931 01:26:50.359 --> 01:26:53.159 Vina things, some other stuff there. But yeah, they have 1932 01:26:53.199 --> 01:26:57.359 a lot of games coming. I wouldn't expect too too much. Again, 1933 01:26:57.479 --> 01:27:01.079 the new announcements is probably gonna be anime gamers. I'm 1934 01:27:01.199 --> 01:27:03.000 sad to say, I don't think this is where I'm 1935 01:27:03.039 --> 01:27:07.640 gonna get my Ridge Racer revival now. But you know, 1936 01:27:07.680 --> 01:27:10.800 bandonkil they've been doing pretty good lately. I would say 1937 01:27:11.000 --> 01:27:13.520 they have found a good niche for themselves, but they 1938 01:27:13.520 --> 01:27:16.399 still are able to explore around that a bit. And 1939 01:27:16.399 --> 01:27:20.640 obviously it's sometimes they get to publish insane bangers like 1940 01:27:20.640 --> 01:27:22.760 an Elden Ring and that does pretty well for them. 1941 01:27:22.800 --> 01:27:28.680 I imagine, Yeah, something may baby Gosh, that's that's tomorrow. 1942 01:27:29.079 --> 01:27:31.159 Are we gonna do a watch at twelve pm? We're 1943 01:27:31.199 --> 01:27:32.359 gonna do a watch over for that. 1944 01:27:32.600 --> 01:27:34.439 Oh, we might be delight clubbing. 1945 01:27:34.680 --> 01:27:37.960 It might be Delight clubbing. And again I'm not expecting 1946 01:27:37.960 --> 01:27:40.840 too much. I'm expecting something kind of like that Capcom 1947 01:27:40.880 --> 01:27:44.840 presentation that happened last week, right, I think crazy Arc 1948 01:27:44.960 --> 01:27:52.119 Tempered Arc Tempered Bandy Namco Summer Showcase WW two K 1949 01:27:52.159 --> 01:27:54.560 two twenty five is coming to switch to late this month. 1950 01:27:54.800 --> 01:27:57.720 Chris Gollan at VGC switch You version of W two 1951 01:27:57.760 --> 01:28:00.800 K twenty five is coming later this month. The game 1952 01:28:00.840 --> 01:28:02.760 will be released on Switching on July twenty third, and 1953 01:28:02.760 --> 01:28:05.479 we'll come in three direct editions, similar to those on 1954 01:28:05.520 --> 01:28:08.520 Plastation and Xbox formats. I mean, these games do come 1955 01:28:08.560 --> 01:28:10.479 to switch, but they, you know, usually kind of look 1956 01:28:10.520 --> 01:28:12.960 pretty rough. I imagine this time around they might get 1957 01:28:13.000 --> 01:28:16.800 a pretty decent boost by having a prettier version on there. Dann, 1958 01:28:16.800 --> 01:28:18.560 are you gonna go back to the island on your 1959 01:28:18.600 --> 01:28:19.039 switch to? 1960 01:28:19.439 --> 01:28:21.439 I don't think I went back to the island after 1961 01:28:21.479 --> 01:28:23.560 that quick look or that stream that we did. Uh, 1962 01:28:23.840 --> 01:28:26.960 don't that the game? The base game is pretty good now, 1963 01:28:27.039 --> 01:28:28.680 but those modes are not great. 1964 01:28:29.560 --> 01:28:29.920 Say it. 1965 01:28:30.359 --> 01:28:32.960 I'm kind of at a low point in terms of 1966 01:28:33.199 --> 01:28:34.720 wrestling interest right now. 1967 01:28:34.880 --> 01:28:36.359 Yeah, I say that I. 1968 01:28:36.479 --> 01:28:39.359 Am because of the scen stuff I've been hearing nothing about. 1969 01:28:39.600 --> 01:28:42.159 I mean, it's been the wrestlmaning was weak, the Sena 1970 01:28:42.439 --> 01:28:46.960 arc has not been that interesting. Honestly, AW is kind 1971 01:28:47.000 --> 01:28:48.439 of doing it and there's actually a lot of things 1972 01:28:48.439 --> 01:28:49.920 that are rubbing me the wrong way about WIT are 1973 01:28:49.960 --> 01:28:55.159 you this year in particular, AW, it's getting some momentum again. 1974 01:28:55.239 --> 01:28:56.279 So if you pick. 1975 01:28:56.119 --> 01:28:58.199 Between the two rails shifted much more. 1976 01:28:58.239 --> 01:29:00.439 AW, that's healthy for the community for sure. 1977 01:29:02.359 --> 01:29:05.239 Super Mario Strikers is the next GameCube title coming to 1978 01:29:05.319 --> 01:29:08.319 Nintendo Switch Online plus Expansion Pack. This is also Marcus Stewart, 1979 01:29:08.359 --> 01:29:11.079 a game reformer. Super Mario Strikers originally launched on the 1980 01:29:11.079 --> 01:29:13.239 GameCube in two thousand and five. That makes it the 1981 01:29:13.319 --> 01:29:16.600 twentieth anniversary this year. An extreme soccer game starting the 1982 01:29:16.640 --> 01:29:20.119 cast of the Mushroom Kingdom and if So Plus Expitch 1983 01:29:20.239 --> 01:29:22.239 Pack subscribers can play Mario Strikers when it arrives on 1984 01:29:22.319 --> 01:29:25.199 July third. Hey, it joints the already available win Waker, 1985 01:29:25.319 --> 01:29:29.039 Soul Coaber two, and F zero g X. I think 1986 01:29:29.039 --> 01:29:30.319 that this is one a lot of people are going 1987 01:29:30.399 --> 01:29:33.399 to be excited about. Definitely one of the more popular 1988 01:29:33.560 --> 01:29:40.039 multiplayer offerings on the GameCube. I've enjoyed the GameCube emulation, 1989 01:29:40.199 --> 01:29:44.079 even though it does have some problems input lag. The 1990 01:29:44.119 --> 01:29:47.319 one that really bothers me is the analog sensitivity, especially 1991 01:29:47.359 --> 01:29:49.319 in win Waker. For some reason, that one got me there. 1992 01:29:50.079 --> 01:29:52.039 But maybe some of that stuff is going to be tuned, 1993 01:29:52.600 --> 01:29:54.399 tuned a little bit. Maybe we'll get an update to 1994 01:29:54.439 --> 01:29:56.720 the whole service when this releases. Man, And if you're 1995 01:29:56.720 --> 01:29:59.880 going to play some Super Mario Strikers on your switch tes, 1996 01:30:00.039 --> 01:30:00.319 I might. 1997 01:30:00.439 --> 01:30:02.560 I never really played too much of it back in 1998 01:30:02.600 --> 01:30:06.119 the day. Fantastic at big size, but like, I'm open 1999 01:30:06.159 --> 01:30:06.439 to it. 2000 01:30:06.720 --> 01:30:09.239 What's the max amount of players you can do? 2001 01:30:09.319 --> 01:30:12.359 I think it's three four imagine. 2002 01:30:12.199 --> 01:30:15.680 Okay, well maybe we should play soccer again against mid max. 2003 01:30:15.600 --> 01:30:18.439 Strikers is fantastic to me. I think that game is 2004 01:30:18.479 --> 01:30:21.159 really really good. It's one of my favorite game cube games. 2005 01:30:21.199 --> 01:30:24.119 Just really tightly played and great power ups and everything 2006 01:30:24.119 --> 01:30:26.520 like that. So I'm looking I would I'm not going 2007 01:30:26.560 --> 01:30:28.800 to buy a switch to for this, but I would 2008 01:30:28.800 --> 01:30:29.560 definitely play more of that. 2009 01:30:29.600 --> 01:30:30.159 It's a great game. 2010 01:30:30.600 --> 01:30:32.920 I think it's interesting like when they launch like GameCube games, 2011 01:30:32.920 --> 01:30:34.640 like this is just like one game they're launching, and 2012 01:30:34.640 --> 01:30:36.239 I feel like in the past, like you know, any 2013 01:30:36.279 --> 01:30:39.119 Ass or Superintendo, it's like, here's twenty fucking games, and 2014 01:30:39.159 --> 01:30:41.479 it's like, yeah, at this point, it's like I've heard 2015 01:30:41.479 --> 01:30:44.199 of or played you know, maybe half of these. But 2016 01:30:44.239 --> 01:30:46.359 now with like the gamekeep once each drop. I think 2017 01:30:46.439 --> 01:30:48.479 feels like kind of like, oh, oh okay, now that's here. 2018 01:30:48.560 --> 01:30:50.880 You know, it feels like more recent than a bigger deal. 2019 01:30:51.640 --> 01:30:53.119 I'm excited about more game stuff. 2020 01:30:53.159 --> 01:30:55.520 Yeah, there's still some stuff coming that they have already 2021 01:30:55.680 --> 01:30:58.359 talked about, like they announced like these games are coming, 2022 01:30:58.439 --> 01:31:03.399 and this is one of them. Like I rembleming, Chip 2023 01:31:03.560 --> 01:31:07.600 Robo Mario Sunshine was there. So there there there is 2024 01:31:07.640 --> 01:31:10.399 more coming. I hope it's not a one one a 2025 01:31:10.479 --> 01:31:12.479 month drop, right. I hope it gets something else this 2026 01:31:12.600 --> 01:31:15.840 month for GameCube n S. So I hope they do 2027 01:31:15.920 --> 01:31:17.800 not add Cube of War on there. I cannot afford 2028 01:31:17.880 --> 01:31:20.079 to have the price of my Cube of Wore Go down. 2029 01:31:20.319 --> 01:31:21.600 That's a big investment. 2030 01:31:21.600 --> 01:31:24.079 Products that would that would be a big deal for you. 2031 01:31:24.159 --> 01:31:26.359 I'm sorry, Yeah, it'd be a best bad day. 2032 01:31:26.600 --> 01:31:27.600 Mikey Uh. 2033 01:31:28.159 --> 01:31:31.199 Missed of Cyan Worlds lays off more staffs is from 2034 01:31:31.279 --> 01:31:35.560 Rachel Caser at games Beat Sion worldsycling studio behind adventure games. 2035 01:31:35.560 --> 01:31:38.319 Missed and Riven revealed today that is laid off more 2036 01:31:38.319 --> 01:31:40.960 staph in the second round of job losses in twenty 2037 01:31:41.000 --> 01:31:41.479 twenty five. 2038 01:31:42.119 --> 01:31:42.359 Uh. 2039 01:31:42.399 --> 01:31:44.640 It didn't disclose exactly how many staff had been laid off, 2040 01:31:44.640 --> 01:31:46.760 but updated a contact sheet to reflect those of its 2041 01:31:46.760 --> 01:31:49.479 staff who were still in need of work. Studio previously 2042 01:31:49.560 --> 01:31:52.079 laid off twelve STAPH members in March, which amount two 2043 01:31:52.079 --> 01:31:55.039 a round half of its staff. GEZ. In a statement 2044 01:31:55.119 --> 01:31:56.560 issue at the time, the leadership said they were in 2045 01:31:56.600 --> 01:31:58.359 a tricky spot where we were having to weigh the 2046 01:31:58.359 --> 01:32:01.399 future of our studio against the month month realities of 2047 01:32:01.439 --> 01:32:04.560 game development, and twenty twenty five also stated they were 2048 01:32:04.600 --> 01:32:08.920 offering severnth packages to those who had been laid off. 2049 01:32:09.479 --> 01:32:12.319 You know, layoffs are always terrible, I know, especially this industry. 2050 01:32:12.319 --> 01:32:13.840 A lot of time it is just like people being 2051 01:32:14.119 --> 01:32:17.439 greedy and trying to cut offs to increase profits elsewhere. 2052 01:32:17.840 --> 01:32:21.920 I think Cyon it is sadly a case of not 2053 01:32:22.079 --> 01:32:24.960 selling enough copies of Mist and Riven as they need 2054 01:32:25.039 --> 01:32:28.199 to keep things going and getting work lined up for 2055 01:32:28.319 --> 01:32:30.439 whatever it is they would do. Nest, I think it's 2056 01:32:30.439 --> 01:32:32.920 a shame because I mean, I'm enjoying that Mystery make 2057 01:32:32.960 --> 01:32:35.560 a lot. I've heard people say that the Riven remake 2058 01:32:35.600 --> 01:32:38.239 that came out I believe last year is even better, 2059 01:32:38.840 --> 01:32:41.000 and it's you know, it's a small studio though, so 2060 01:32:41.840 --> 01:32:44.359 it's a tough time for maybe these kinds of games. 2061 01:32:44.680 --> 01:32:47.920 They also had another AI kind of bungle with their 2062 01:32:48.920 --> 01:32:50.960 Firmament game that came out a few years ago, which 2063 01:32:51.199 --> 01:32:53.960 it has less than a thousand reviews on Steam. And 2064 01:32:54.000 --> 01:32:56.239 I know that AI was a big kind of problem 2065 01:32:56.239 --> 01:32:57.920 for people with that game too, So I'm not sure 2066 01:32:57.960 --> 01:32:59.640 that game really hit for them in any kind of 2067 01:32:59.640 --> 01:33:00.319 meaningful way. 2068 01:33:00.920 --> 01:33:05.479 But yeah, it sucks, Yeah it sucks. They like I said, 2069 01:33:05.520 --> 01:33:07.760 they have they do kind of release this contact sheets 2070 01:33:07.800 --> 01:33:12.079 with those being impacted by it for prospectible employers to 2071 01:33:12.119 --> 01:33:14.319 look at at least, So I don't know. I hope, uh, 2072 01:33:14.840 --> 01:33:16.920 I hope things turn out well for all in there 2073 01:33:16.920 --> 01:33:18.720 and wishing them, wishing them the best. 2074 01:33:19.079 --> 01:33:19.439 Based in the. 2075 01:33:21.239 --> 01:33:23.840 Sion Worlds, I mean, I assume, so I assume. So 2076 01:33:24.279 --> 01:33:27.199 I think that's right. Uh No, I'm trying to look 2077 01:33:27.239 --> 01:33:28.119 it up because I'm a sick. 2078 01:33:28.199 --> 01:33:28.279 Oh. 2079 01:33:28.359 --> 01:33:32.439 Sign Worlds is headquartered in No Mead, Washington. 2080 01:33:32.079 --> 01:33:35.520 So so weird they were originally British, right or from 2081 01:33:35.520 --> 01:33:37.279 the UK. I want to say that original games were 2082 01:33:37.279 --> 01:33:37.880 developed over there. 2083 01:33:37.880 --> 01:33:38.760 Maybe I could be weird. 2084 01:33:39.600 --> 01:33:40.159 Maybe you're wrong. 2085 01:33:40.159 --> 01:33:42.520 I think they were from Spokane, Washington. If I'm looking 2086 01:33:42.560 --> 01:33:46.319 at this correctly, it might be somebody else, somebody man. 2087 01:33:47.720 --> 01:33:51.760 No worries though, but that is it for the news. 2088 01:33:51.880 --> 01:33:54.399 Jan I am handing the show back over to you. 2089 01:33:54.760 --> 01:33:57.800 Thank you, Mike Minatti.

But there was this one guy that 2415 01:48:57.760 --> 01:48:58.960 insisted on calling it. 2416 01:48:58.920 --> 01:49:01.039 The black like that. 2417 01:49:01.159 --> 01:49:04.359 I am Les Mulligan and he would dap me up 2418 01:49:04.399 --> 01:49:06.760 every time.

Tenshu has come up in conversation 2443 01:50:05.760 --> 01:50:09.039 a conversation a few times in recent months, and given 2444 01:50:09.079 --> 01:50:12.279 the extremely high profile of Ninja's this year, I felt 2445 01:50:12.279 --> 01:50:15.800 the need to express a passionate opinion of mine. The 2446 01:50:15.840 --> 01:50:18.640 Tenshu franchise has been ripe for a reboot for a 2447 01:50:18.720 --> 01:50:21.880 long time, given the conspicuous lull in the more traditional 2448 01:50:21.960 --> 01:50:25.560 format of stealth games for a decade plus. With Ninja's 2449 01:50:25.560 --> 01:50:28.199 being quite popular so in Vogue, it feels like there's 2450 01:50:28.239 --> 01:50:30.479 never been a better time than now to reboot a 2451 01:50:30.520 --> 01:50:34.399 candidate for best stealth franchise of all time. Furthermore, the 2452 01:50:34.439 --> 01:50:37.319 Tenshu ip is currently owned by From Software, with people 2453 01:50:37.359 --> 01:50:40.479 responsible for making Sekiro the game with a dude swinging 2454 01:50:40.479 --> 01:50:44.000 from a grappling hook on the cover owning the franchise. 2455 01:50:44.039 --> 01:50:47.239 I personally feel it is nothing short of rude that 2456 01:50:47.279 --> 01:50:50.279 we have heard nothing Tenshu related for so long. The 2457 01:50:50.359 --> 01:50:53.199 mechanics of Sekuro applied to a more stealth focused game 2458 01:50:53.279 --> 01:50:55.760 would be absolutely fantastic. And I feel like it's a 2459 01:50:55.760 --> 01:50:58.720 total no brainer to make that lateral transition. I'd love 2460 01:50:58.760 --> 01:51:00.439 to hear your thoughts on the subject. It's the good 2461 01:51:00.439 --> 01:51:03.039 work mark from Glasgow in Melbourne. 2462 01:51:03.520 --> 01:51:06.399 Oh you know, man, you never say never, but it 2463 01:51:06.520 --> 01:51:10.159 just feels like it didn't happen now, especially you know, 2464 01:51:10.399 --> 01:51:13.199 it's difficult because from software, Yeah they own Tenshu, they 2465 01:51:13.199 --> 01:51:17.680 also have this thing called Sekero Yeah success. Yeah, this 2466 01:51:17.760 --> 01:51:19.439 boy is that good.

A few we weeks ago, before the launch 2540 01:55:01.119 --> 01:55:05.399 of the Switch to one, Jeffrey the untrustworthy Grub looked 2541 01:55:05.479 --> 01:55:08.960 straight into a camera and said that if Captain Toad's 2542 01:55:09.720 --> 01:55:12.479 switched to upgrade allowed for online co op, he would 2543 01:55:12.479 --> 01:55:16.840 stream it alongside Mike the accomplished Minati. Well it happened 2544 01:55:16.880 --> 01:55:19.199 with the upgrade, but nary a word from these two 2545 01:55:19.199 --> 01:55:22.439 weasels about the stream. So Jan, I think you just 2546 01:55:22.439 --> 01:55:24.439 need to add it to the schedule without their approval. 2547 01:55:24.479 --> 01:55:27.479 That'll make them show up. We must hold these villains accountable. 2548 01:55:27.720 --> 01:55:29.560 Eric from Saint Louis sent from my iPhone. 2549 01:55:30.880 --> 01:55:33.720 My bad. 2550 01:55:34.159 --> 01:55:35.760 Now, I want to do that. 2551 01:55:35.880 --> 01:55:38.600 I keep meaning to play Captain toa It just hasn't happened. 2552 01:55:38.680 --> 01:55:42.479 Uh it's gotten busy.

Real quick, 2558 01:56:02.119 --> 01:56:05.439 good tidings, great bombinos on the latest last episode eight 2559 01:56:05.520 --> 01:56:08.159 nine to six. Alex from Australia gave you a metal 2560 01:56:08.159 --> 01:56:09.960 album to listen to you for homework and you just 2561 01:56:10.079 --> 01:56:12.439 rolled with it. Reading that email was really opening the 2562 01:56:12.439 --> 01:56:15.800 floodgates for you guys who live to recommend media. So 2563 01:56:15.840 --> 01:56:19.039 I've taken the opportunity to prescribe each of you an anime. 2564 01:56:19.600 --> 01:56:22.159 Oh dudes love recommending anime. 2565 01:56:24.640 --> 01:56:26.720 It's only three hundred episodes. 2566 01:56:28.600 --> 01:56:31.359 More than any other form of media. Anime guys will 2567 01:56:31.479 --> 01:56:33.720 let you know what you need to watch. 2568 01:56:34.000 --> 01:56:36.560 All right, I'm gonna try and speed through these grub 2569 01:56:36.840 --> 01:56:39.840 Despite appearances, Jeffrey Michael Grubb is bit a bit of 2570 01:56:39.880 --> 01:56:42.520 an enigma. A taste maker. He is known to enjoy 2571 01:56:42.600 --> 01:56:44.640 some dragon Ball, but he doesn't give the impression of 2572 01:56:44.680 --> 01:56:46.399 a guy who spends a lot of time with anime 2573 01:56:46.520 --> 01:56:49.880 these days to you. I recommend Ping Pong the animation. 2574 01:56:50.159 --> 01:56:52.600 It's got sports, it's got music, it's got an endearing 2575 01:56:52.640 --> 01:56:56.159 old lady. It's got an unconventional art style atypical for anime. 2576 01:56:56.640 --> 01:56:59.520 These eleven episodes are my gift to you. Okay, eleven 2577 01:56:59.520 --> 01:57:03.560 episodes can do Mike, He's the Disney guy, He's the 2578 01:57:03.600 --> 01:57:06.079 Mega Man guy. He likes light things and doesn't like 2579 01:57:06.159 --> 01:57:08.479 dark things or being alone in them. I get the 2580 01:57:08.479 --> 01:57:12.159 feeling he's dabbled in anime, but not dug deep. It 2581 01:57:12.199 --> 01:57:14.640 is with that in mind that I recommend Keep your 2582 01:57:14.680 --> 01:57:18.479 Hands off Isoken, following a group of young folks who 2583 01:57:18.560 --> 01:57:21.279 just want to make anime.

It's a real gem. 2585 01:57:24.560 --> 01:57:27.560 Okay, he backled, pup your hands off of Isokin. Everyone, 2586 01:57:27.640 --> 01:57:32.279 He's mine backlart. There are those who call him the coworker, 2587 01:57:32.520 --> 01:57:34.880 and there are others who call him the king of anime. 2588 01:57:35.359 --> 01:57:37.119 He has a whole show about it, though you might 2589 01:57:37.159 --> 01:57:39.359 not know since it's been a month since the last episode. 2590 01:57:39.439 --> 01:57:41.920 I'm not counting you.

A similar situation happened 2634 01:59:45.079 --> 01:59:49.720 in Finland where two A List actors Marty so solo 2635 01:59:49.920 --> 01:59:53.640 Ati in Alan Wake two in Control and Peter Franzen 2636 01:59:53.840 --> 01:59:57.159 Costcola Brothers and Alan Wake two, gave interviews after the 2637 01:59:57.199 --> 02:00:01.399 release of Alan Wake two s in particular, it was 2638 02:00:01.520 --> 02:00:05.439 very surprised but also happy about the new fan base 2639 02:00:05.479 --> 02:00:08.159 of young men he gained who previously had no interest 2640 02:00:08.159 --> 02:00:11.079 in his films. He also shared how his children's friends 2641 02:00:11.119 --> 02:00:13.479 suddenly became eager to meet him and asked about the 2642 02:00:13.479 --> 02:00:17.079 game development process. Sossolo had no knowledge of video games 2643 02:00:17.079 --> 02:00:20.319 when he joined Remedies Project and was initially very confused 2644 02:00:20.359 --> 02:00:23.000 and unsure about how his performance would appear in the game. 2645 02:00:23.479 --> 02:00:26.880 His face some challenges with voice acting and motion capture 2646 02:00:26.880 --> 02:00:28.920 at first, but in the end he was satisfied with 2647 02:00:29.000 --> 02:00:32.760 his performance.

I think I think Kajima 2671 02:01:27.680 --> 02:01:29.640 does a great job with it with deatht Randing, although 2672 02:01:29.640 --> 02:01:31.119 it's like I was thinking about it with like the 2673 02:01:31.199 --> 02:01:33.760 Yoji Shinkawa art and everything, where it's like, yeah, all 2674 02:01:33.760 --> 02:01:36.000 the desk Randing art looks incredible, but it's like, Okay, 2675 02:01:36.199 --> 02:01:38.479 that's just lay us to do. That's just Norman Readis. 2676 02:01:38.520 --> 02:01:40.399 I mean, it looks awesome in his art style. But 2677 02:01:40.439 --> 02:01:42.399 I kind of liked seeing his take on like here's 2678 02:01:42.439 --> 02:01:45.159 revolver oslau Er Solidsing. Here's like, you know, a totally 2679 02:01:45.239 --> 02:01:47.760 original character, you know, And I do feel that, like 2680 02:01:47.760 --> 02:01:49.960 like with movies, I think once they started like having 2681 02:01:50.359 --> 02:01:53.439 big name voice actors take over a bunch of roles 2682 02:01:53.439 --> 02:01:55.800 that like he used to just be voice actors, you know, 2683 02:01:56.159 --> 02:01:58.479 kind of like not well known celebrities. Then all of 2684 02:01:58.479 --> 02:02:00.239 a sudden, you've got, you know, like Will Smith being 2685 02:02:00.239 --> 02:02:01.000 a fish or whatever. 2686 02:02:01.079 --> 02:02:02.159 You know, is he Nemo? 2687 02:02:03.039 --> 02:02:03.359 No? 2688 02:02:03.359 --> 02:02:06.600 No, he was U shark Tail? Was that him? 2689 02:02:06.640 --> 02:02:08.960 Oh maybe that's I remember reading like an article back when. 2690 02:02:10.319 --> 02:02:11.239 Not Nemo? 2691 02:02:11.359 --> 02:02:13.439 No, yeah, everything like, oh yeah, that's I could see 2692 02:02:13.439 --> 02:02:15.560 why they'd be frustrating for like a voice actor by trade, 2693 02:02:15.560 --> 02:02:16.880 and all of a sudden, it's like, just because you're 2694 02:02:16.880 --> 02:02:19.880 not that like super recognizable, you're not going to much work. 2695 02:02:19.960 --> 02:02:21.000 So I see that argument. 2696 02:02:21.039 --> 02:02:23.479 It's not that he Southern did a bad job as 2697 02:02:23.520 --> 02:02:26.359 Snake and soft Fire, but I really disliked the cast 2698 02:02:26.479 --> 02:02:29.520 change there. Even Yeah, there's some ways to justify in 2699 02:02:29.560 --> 02:02:30.920 that story, but still I didn't like it. 2700 02:02:31.000 --> 02:02:33.760 Narratively, you there's definitely way you could have had both. 2701 02:02:33.880 --> 02:02:37.560 But yeah, they look, I get it. Twenty four is great, 2702 02:02:37.680 --> 02:02:38.199 but you know. 2703 02:02:38.199 --> 02:02:41.760 Solid I think the best one ever is Phil Hartman 2704 02:02:41.840 --> 02:02:42.640 as Blasto. 2705 02:02:42.920 --> 02:02:45.279 Yes, and what's that from. 2706 02:02:47.039 --> 02:02:52.560 Blast PlayStation one game. Yeah's some big space guy named Blastom. 2707 02:02:52.600 --> 02:02:54.640 It's just Phil Hartman quipping the entire time. 2708 02:02:55.079 --> 02:02:56.840 It's not a likeness, but he's just like the voice, 2709 02:02:56.960 --> 02:02:59.800 like a very trimic glure voice. It's yeah yeah yeah. 2710 02:03:00.119 --> 02:03:00.520 Uh. 2711 02:03:00.600 --> 02:03:03.520 Then the worst one is Ronda Rowsey, Sonia Blade and 2712 02:03:03.600 --> 02:03:07.800 Mortal Kombat eleven. Oh yeah, it's bad. It was like 2713 02:03:07.840 --> 02:03:10.319 a recast. They already had a talented voice actor doing 2714 02:03:10.319 --> 02:03:12.960 that character in their games, and they just made it 2715 02:03:13.000 --> 02:03:16.479 significantly worse for no reason. Nobody was like, oh I 2716 02:03:16.520 --> 02:03:18.680 didn't care about more a combat, but now that Ronda 2717 02:03:18.840 --> 02:03:21.279 Rowse he's involved, let me get on board. 2718 02:03:22.359 --> 02:03:27.680 And I liked that story. And anytime like Ronda or 2719 02:03:27.840 --> 02:03:29.840 Sonya Blade opened her mouth and like, it was just 2720 02:03:29.880 --> 02:03:32.359 the abysmal performance from Ronda Rowsey. 2721 02:03:32.680 --> 02:03:34.920 Jesus, it was so distracting. 2722 02:03:35.000 --> 02:03:37.079 Oh they had Megan Fox be a character. 2723 02:03:37.159 --> 02:03:37.960 That was pretty rough too. 2724 02:03:38.119 --> 02:03:42.840 Yeah. I think the best job still to this day 2725 02:03:43.560 --> 02:03:46.960 is JK. Simmons and Steven Merchant in Portal two. 2726 02:03:47.039 --> 02:03:49.039 Oh yeah yeah, oh. 2727 02:03:49.159 --> 02:03:52.079 Yeah that was good. Oh it makes me think of 2728 02:03:52.119 --> 02:03:55.760 the Spider Man games. Yeah, Topey Maguire doing like he 2729 02:03:55.960 --> 02:04:00.680 was just clearly like this isn't important whatever, like X wait, 2730 02:04:00.960 --> 02:04:02.920 millions of people are gonna play this game Toby, he 2731 02:04:03.119 --> 02:04:06.119 actually easy to do, a good job, didn't care.
