Speaker 1: It's the Internet. You're busy, let's do this. Welcome to
the Game Asticides podcast. This is the podcast where we
decide everything about the world of games, so you never
have to think for yourself.
Speaker 2: I'm your host, Jeff Grubbin. With me is Mike Minati.
In today's episode, Mikey's back.
Speaker 1: Sony's trying some more stuff with Hollywood and multiplayer games
and Octopath Traveler zero reviews. I'm gonna be curious to
see what Mike thinks about maybe playing that. But we've
also both been playing Metroid. We'll get into all of
it and more. But first, Mike, how are you doing.
Speaker 3: I'm back from Disney. I came back this after noon,
so you know, I had a very good time, a
very festive time. All sorts of Christmas Eve things were afoot.
I saw Kermit and Miss Piggy host a show at
the Jollywood Knights event at Disney Hollywood Studios.
Speaker 4: That was a ton of fun.
Speaker 3: Bell came out wearing her Outfred from the direct to
video Being to Be as Christmas Special and sing a
song from it, and I was very tickled that they
remember that thing existed, so that's fun.
Speaker 2: I actually really loved shit like that. That's a good time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah it was. It was great. You know, I've
got to hang out with my girlfriend there, do all
sorts of Disney things to spend the day at Epic Universe.
I did all that Nintendo stuff again.
Speaker 4: But yeah, it was good. You know, I go very
hard at Disney.
Speaker 3: So it's like, you know, I never would be the
person who complaints for coming batifications.
Speaker 4: Like I'm tired, but little little exhausted, especially.
Speaker 3: Just traveling in general, even like a little fight like
that just always leads to be a little tired.
Speaker 1: The thing about this whining mic is I think everyone
agrees with it. Everyone understands the feeling of going on
a big trip, going on vacation and coming back and
still being exhausted like that is a universal thing at
this point.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I get it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know it's also like, yeah, I want
to make some content again. You know, I was trying
to listen to some stuff you guys were up to
while I was gone. Looks like things are going week
to take off, you know, with the site frozen and
stuff like that.
Speaker 2: It was, uh, definitely a little bit less streaming.
Speaker 1: We're figuring figuring some stuff out with the new website,
which is going to launch here pretty soon. It's uh,
it's exciting times over there. But yeah, no, glad you're back.
Let's let's make some of that content. Uh yeah, back
at the top of my birthday week.
Speaker 2: Let's go. Yes, of course, we knew you wouldn't miss that.
Speaker 3: That was one of my favorite parts of the trip
is that when you're in Disney World and if it's
like anywhere around your birthday or if you want to lie,
you get a button that said is your birthday, and
then everyone who works there is forced to tell you
happy birthday with a smile on their face.
Speaker 4: And I'm a big fan of that. I like that
a lot.
Speaker 1: I assumed you'd have to like produce some sort of proof,
but yeah, you could just lie, right.
Speaker 2: They don't.
Speaker 1: They're not going to actually be like, where's your proof,
because it's not because that would be me. Sobody, Yeah, okay,
that's that's fun.
Speaker 2: That's a good time. All right. So let's let you
know what, let's start the show.
Speaker 1: Let's get into If you want to make content, let's
god damn it, make some content.

with Sean Christian. We're like, maybe thinking in the new
year we might figure out some stuff with Jeopardy Stay tuned.
Nothing to announce yet, but I think we're all kind
of itching to get back to we all really like
that show. We know everyone does as well, So keep
an eye on the new year. Well, we'll have more
news to announce, you know, sometime in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: All right, let's what I'm missed.
Speaker 1: See it's Half Life three out yet Halflaf three is
not out yet, not announced, although that does seem like
it's leaning towards an announcement at the Game Awards.
Speaker 2: Are you Where are you at in terms of buying
in on this?
Speaker 1: I think both you and I were relatively bought in
at was was it Summer Game Fest last year.
Speaker 2: Or something like?
Speaker 4: Though it was the Game Awards last year. I was
Game Awards last year.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, that I was like, I was buying a
lot of things. It's like, that's it, it's happening. So
this year, I don't want to say that even though
it was like there's a chance. I do think that
game is going to be announced relatively soon, and I'm
not going to commit to what that means, but boy,
it is interesting and exciting that that seems to be likely.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Keeley's seems like he's been teasing it
in some places. There's a lot of integration and Steam
for the Game Awards already, so they have they do
have some sort of standing partnership.
Speaker 2: That's something that's happened in the past.
Speaker 1: Of course, that's not some obvious indicator that Halfway three
is getting announced. I'm just saying they have a cozy
relationship and Valve. Well, of course they could do this
on their own. I don't see any reason why they
also wouldn't be like, well, if we can have Halfway
three on the Game Awards, and of course we'd be
able to do it for free, because that's something he
would be down with. Why wouldn't we do it?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Now I also heard that Jeff Keeley has a
demon statue in the desert.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: I haven't looked at this yet, but I know none
of you have been able to identify it.
Speaker 1: We've been actually been waiting for you to come back
and just tell us what the fuck this thing is.
Speaker 3: Mike, all right, Yeah, I'm on this, okay, huh. And
he seems to be some kind of some kind of monster. Jeff,
I think I might be related. Boy, Yeah, I can
see why people want with Diablo as the first thing here.
Speaker 1: Boy, Apparently Diablo uh has been excluded as possible, and
I'm just letting people know by Jason Schreyer as well
as a God of War and Elder Scrolls.
Speaker 2: The new Elder Scrolls, so those ones he said it
couldn't be.
Speaker 1: One thing I didn't say it's not is sorrows, which, uh,
you know, those tentacles look like that maternal sorrows vibe.
Speaker 2: But I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to say that this is the sequel
to EA's Dante's Inferno, Dante's Purgatorio finally hanging announced.
Speaker 4: I think that's what's happening here.
Speaker 1: I definitely at some point thought the same thing. I'm like,
welly not, let's go Dante's Inferno. Let's let's just see. Well,
there you have it, everybody mystery solved thanks to the
return of Mike Manatti.
Speaker 2: There's some other stuff.
Speaker 1: PlayStation is publishing the first game by jj Abram's Bad
Robot Games.
Speaker 2: Which apparently has been in the works for a long time.
Speaker 1: The person who's primarily been in charge of getting that
work up and going and directing it is let's see here,
Mike Booth, who is best known as one of the
key people on Left for Dead. This new game is
a four player multiplayer shooter or a multiplayer shooter. I
think that's a co op game. Sure, sounds like a
Left for Dead. Yeah, people are kind of making the
big deal. Oh, Sony did all these live service games,
these multiplayer games that are going back to that. Well,
this feels a little bit different because this is not
them necessarily investing two hundred million dollars in a in
an internal studio to make one of those games. This
is then partnering up with Hollywood to make something. I
don't know, what do you make of this.
Speaker 3: It's it's kind of interesting, right, like the Bad Robot
ve game studio.
Speaker 4: What necessarily does that mean? I feel like J. J.
Speaker 3: Abras has kind of been in relative hiding ever since
he directed Episode nine.
Speaker 4: I have not heard much from him. And then even
like the idea of Left for deadlights, I mean, we
had a lot of those.
Speaker 3: There's like a wave of them four years ago or something.
It felt like like, you know, Back for Blood happened,
you know, and a Crusus you know shot and Will Smith, Yeah,
and a.
Speaker 4: Crusis you know.
Speaker 3: Even recently we had the the control fire break thing happening,
you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think some of them did okay.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at back for Bud has like twenty four
thousand reviews on Steam, mostly positive, also ninety percent on sale.
Speaker 4: By the way, in case you're interested.
Speaker 3: You know, it did okay, But not other time I've
ever seen to have the impact that Left for Dead
or left for dead to them, And I don't know
if any of them could yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh, you know.
Speaker 1: It seems to me like if this was based on
an existing ip that they would have said so. They
did not say so. Again, I've read this a couple
of times. I don't think they're alluding to that, but
so that this feels like that that that version of
a Hollywood get a Hollywood studio getting involved in making games.
That is like this is going to be like a
separate but equal business for us over here, kind of
similar to what like Anna Perna does and Pern has
got their movies, Anna Pern has got their video games,
and they're not necessarily making games based on their movies.
They're doing their own games over here. I don't know,
is that something like for a bad Robot?
Speaker 2: I don't know. Do you think that matters?
Speaker 1: Do you think that they can bring in the juice
like it seems like a difficult thing to pull off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if it's like I don't know
if bad Robot prestige and other forms of media really
means much for me in the video game world. You know,
they are able to actually invest in the industry and
give jobs of people in fun, interesting projects, and that
is a good thing. So I am curious to see
what this looks like and if we have a new
interesting studio here, you know, getting the backing up PlayStation
that certainly isn't going.
Speaker 4: To hurt yep.
Speaker 2: I just think.
Speaker 1: This sort of thing happens because PlayStation likes the idea
of working with the jj abrams and a bad robot.
Speaker 2: That's a big movie. Comprehens made big movies.
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what it motivates them here in
the game might be secondary, who knows, you know, this
could be their next Hell Divers, you know, come kind
of pops off and really hits with their the PlayStation
five and PC audience. It is coming to PlayStation five
and PC at the same time, so.
Speaker 2: It could be one of those.
Speaker 1: We'll see, all right, Prince Persia of the Santa Time
remake will not be at the Game Awards, although apparently
that's still going to be an it's going to be
out or something will happen with it by the sixteenth
of January.
Speaker 2: So this thing is coming in fast.
Speaker 1: So everyone assumed, well, we'll hear about it at the
Game Awards anything that's kind of happened in.
Speaker 2: This next like three, four or five week period. It's
like time period.
Speaker 1: If we haven't heard about it up to this point,
why wouldn't it be at the Game Awards. But you'd
be soft, Like the Prince of Persia account on Twitter
just came out and said, this is not going to
be at the Game Awards.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I know that. I guess that's the whole
story there, Mike.
Speaker 1: But I mean, if that's not happening at the Game
Awards and we're getting it by January sixteenth, does that
feel like something that like shadow drops early in the
year or something.
Speaker 2: Like that, What do you think, I don't know shadow
dropping this? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean right, because you know we know it's happening.
I guess it would be kind of a shadow drop,
I wonder, right, because obviously they had that original version
of this and it looks sort of ugly so they
had to retool it. But you know, what exactly does
the retooling look like. Is it something that we are
going through suddenly like much more. I think we all
have a very specific idea of like what Prince of
Persia's Sands of Time looked like back then, and maybe
we kind of just want the game to still look
like that, and it's maybe a hard thing to translate
into this modern triple A sense. I kind of wish
they just did what they did with that Beyond Good
and Evil remaster, which was a really good remaster, and
it just made that game like run really well and
look a lot sharper and it actually held up pretty well.
I think that's probably what they should have just done
with Prince the Prince of Persia Stands of Time. I
don't think it's a game that required a remake necessarily
because I don't want to see too much in the
way of mechanics or the game design itself changed.
Speaker 4: I don't want to see the art style drastically changed.
Speaker 3: You know, if you're not doing that, you should it
should be like Metroit Primary Mastered style right where it's
a remake where it's yeah, basically just again making the
game look like what it looks like in your memories.
That's kind of what I think they should be shooting
for there. I think that's a hard task. So, you know,
I hope a lot of sign of they're you know,
not super. You know, they're trying to shove this thing
under the rug, because otherwise I don't know why you
wouldn't want this to be at the Game Awards.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the thing with the Game Awards is
always like, is the game big enough to avoid having
to pay the fee to be in the Game Awards?
And Prince of Persius stands the time probably isn't. They
probably would have to come to Keeley and be like,
here is half a million dollars? Can we get thirty seconds?
And that's that's that's not going to be something that
you'd besoft. I think takes on lightly at this point.
They probably have a much more modest idea of what
this game can do, and so and therefore it's it's
marketing budget.
Speaker 2: We'll see.
Speaker 1: Let's see here. Octopath Travelers zero reviews came out. Did
you get a chance to pay attention to any of this?
Speaker 2: Mic I did?
Speaker 4: It's only oh, look at that, it's exactly as good
as much tried Prime for Beyond.
Speaker 1: I see, yes, and just that means so just a
smidge better than other m of course, only a smidge
better than Kirby air Riders and noticeably worse than Mario
Kart World.
Speaker 2: Uh huh, Look, we can talk about it.
Speaker 1: We can get into it if you want. Look, I
don't get it either. God scale up. This review went
up tonight and he's like, the headline is I do
not recommend Metroid Prime for Beyond.
Speaker 2: What the fuck is happening? So it's a bad game now,
is what happened here?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, I look, we are talking about this right
now because I just started, having played for the first hour,
it's so far it's like, well, yeah, it seems like
a really nice Metroid Prime. Boy, sure's a very pretty game,
and it's fun to play Metroid Prime.
Speaker 2: So I don't know.
Speaker 3: I just like getting an idea that what the people
who Again, maybe's for skill, but I don't see people
just say up say they don't like the game. But
you know, the complaints about linearity and some of the
metroidss uh, maybe lacking.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Maybe I'll get a sense of that because I, you know,
I haven't gotten to the hub desert area or thing.
You know, I met Mackenzie. You know, like, do I
do I think Mackenzie is some terrible thing?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: Do I think Mackenzie is good for the game?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: You know, so they're like there's a little bit of
a frustration. They're like, oh I even do this? Why, Like, like,
how could somebody in charge of Metroid think that you
should do this?
Speaker 4: Is that ruining the game?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 3: Again, I don't think it's gonna be some some whole
thing there. I don't have some super formed opinion on
Metrod Prime four, but you know I do think that, uh,
because there are some people like, oh, You're gonna freak
out because the Metro game got an average in the
low ace. Now I'm not freaking out.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: You know, Hey, look if Metroid Prime four was terrible
for some reason, I'll be fine, you know, and I'll
be disappointed about a video game.
Speaker 4: My life will go on. But yeah, Metrod has high expectations.
Speaker 3: This is a franchise that generally those games are in
the low nineties, mid nineties, high eighties, So it is
just you know, when I see the review average come
in at a low aighties, I'm like, huh, so that
that that's it. It's very interesting. Yep, exactly, and I'm
with you.
Speaker 1: I've not played enough to have a formed opinion, but
so far I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I think
that it feels very linear early on, but that's something
I was expecting, especially after seeing the demo or playing
the demo and seeing the previews. It's like, oh, yeah,
that's what they're doing with this early part of the game.
Let's see what happens once I get into some of
these bigger dungeon areas. But yeah, I will be very
surprised if something comes along that's like more than just oh,
that's not exactly what I wanted. In fact, it's gone,
it's gone past that, and now this is something I
think drastically hurts the game. I'll be surprised if that's
where I end up. But whatever, it's possible, we'll see,
all right eighty three for an open critic anyhow, for
Occupied Travelers zero that might be different.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 1: Actually, what I'm looking at it right now, okay, this
sounds like a big one.
Speaker 2: I had Vitelli on the day that the reviews dropped.
Speaker 1: He reviewed it, he spent something like and he did
a lot of the stuff in there, but something like
one hundred and ten and twenty hours in the game.
So how are you gonna finish this before Game of
the Year, Mike, I'm not gonna play this one.
Speaker 4: Nah No, no, absolutely not, no thought.
Speaker 2: What's your history with Octopath Traveler again, I.
Speaker 3: Started both of them and kind of fell off, And
I feel bad about too, because people love it so much,
especially people who are JRPG super fans like that, like
I am. In fact, I think I'm gonna I think
I might be pitching you soon on making that the
this of the Endurance Run game.
Speaker 2: Perhaps I actually I'm open to this.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, because you know, people like it a lot.
Speaker 3: But you know, again, even though of course it's not
the whole story, but even just the idea, like we're
using the assets from the mobile game to make a
kind of new Octopath Traveler, I'm like, Okay, sure.
Speaker 4: That can be good.
Speaker 3: But if I was really going to invest in Octopath Traveler,
it would be to go back and finally play too.
If I was again a big fan who I played
those two this year, maybe I'd be more interested.
Speaker 1: Yep, I think that. You know, it sounds like this
one is doing a lot of fun stuff that people
really like. But you know, it does have some of
those hallmarks of the of the series of Yeah, you
are kind of being split up quite often.
Speaker 2: I think the way that they are split up, you are.
Speaker 1: Going to these new characters often, so you kind of
feel like you have a lot of starts and stuff
like that, and so if like you get momentum with
one character, now you're with another character. But it does
sound like they intertwine those stories maybe better than ever.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I have not played any of these games really, Yeah,
but I'm always happy for the g RPG fans when
they get one of these.
Speaker 2: They seem to like them.
Speaker 3: I am like, I'm annoyed that it's apparently one hundred hours.
I don't know why this is for the genre. It's insane.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't need to be right. There's just like
there's obviously edits. You can make to sort of streamlines
of some of the stuff and still get across everything
you're trying to get across.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know, one hundred hours is a
big number. I guess you can probably.
Speaker 1: Beat it in like eighty, But honestly, what's the difference
between eighty at that point a season?
Speaker 2: There?
Speaker 4: To play this video game for a season, I don't.
I don't want to. I don't want to do that,
all right.
Speaker 1: Uh Fortnite fans speculating Epic may allow male nipples on skins. Uh, okay,
there you go, big news in the Fortnite space.
Speaker 2: I did see that. It's because Homer has nipples, right.
Speaker 5: Homer house nipple and these new guy has nipples too.
Speaker 2: The nipple ceiling? Is that?
Speaker 3: What had nipples in a Mario game? I mean, come on,
male nipples are clearly just fine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always like, uh, they're trying to, like I think,
be fair of like you can't show nipples, I mean
male nipples or you just talk about lady nipples and
it's like, well, you know, you know what we mean,
but let's just not do either.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I got to be safe and we got to cover
all nipples.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 4: What if somebody changed their pronouns halfway through showing their nipples,
you know.
Speaker 1: Like legit, Like I guarantee a conversation like that has
happened among lawyers and people putting these deals together.
Speaker 4: I think you're one hundred percent right, even as a joke.
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't care. Put nipples in court andite whatever.
I is this a kill Bill thing? Can you cut
nipples off as kill Bill now in the game?
Speaker 4: Is that what?
Speaker 2: No nipples slicing and kill Bill? Mike? I know it
seems they're kind of that.
Speaker 3: Would that does twin Tarantino show up to randomly uh
dunk on actors who aren't a.
Speaker 2: Part of the conversation. I'm glad you saw that.
Speaker 1: What a weird thing mine in his business, he's like
crazy probably just like like hanging out with this family
for Thanksgiving or whatever, and like he checks his phone,
Like what the fuck would I do?
Speaker 2: What's the hell he is?
Speaker 5: He is? He cut like you when you say I
cut a straight, it's like a bullet straight. He cut
a cannonball straight?
Speaker 4: Like what why.
Speaker 2: That was?
Speaker 1: For people that don't know, Quentin Tarantino was just like Santa,
I will be blood or there will be blood. Excuse me,
would be I will be blood. I will be blood.
Actually the little correction, I will be blood. Quentin Tarantino
said that would be one of the best movies or
the best movie of the Century if it wasn't for
the weak sauce acting of Paul Dano, who just sucks
and it's the worst actor in sag Those are all
things he said.
Speaker 4: Did he just sweat on how much he did not
like you?
Speaker 5: Matthew Lilla also like cut another Australia on the same
conversation for some reason. I don't know why Matteo Lula's
was like on the conversation there.
Speaker 2: I love Paul Dano.
Speaker 1: Quentin Tarantino doesn't like Paul Dano because he kind of
looks like him. All right, Rest of peace, Carrie Hero,
you get Takawa or Tagatwa excuse me, has died. Mortal
Kombat actor. He was seventy five. He played Shang Sung.
He returned to play Shang Sung and some of the
recent Mortal Kombat games. That was awesome to see this
guy is on screen. Presence was just huge, and I like,
he's always stuck with me is I think he's one
of the reasons that that Mortal Kombat movie was in
It really is my favorite video game movie still to
this day.
Speaker 2: He's just fantastic and he's gonna be missed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think about that, you know, what your soul
will be mine delivery into the camera. Your still his
mind that delivery just a girl. Yeah he is still
good shings in that movie. Just kind of camping it
up in the most fun way possible.
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, so wrestle trails to Kerry Hero Yuki Tagawa.
We will be right back and we're gonna do some
super chats after this. All right, it is game mess
decides we have some super chats, and I'm gonna ask
Mike Manati, could you please read those for us?
Speaker 4: Yeah? But first, you know, I was joking earlier.
Speaker 3: But it's funny that looking at Mark cart Wold has
an eighty seven ever scored. People hate that game, now, Jeff,
I know, I know no one likes that game now?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, how do you feel about the the conversation of like, oh,
Nintendo's lost its touch? I don't fully agree, but they've
you know, they are willing to sort of put out
game Like I don't have a fully corn opinion on
Metroit Prime before beyond let's say I end up agreeing
with it that it's a disappointment, it's an eighty almost
seventy nine whatever, uh, and then seventis I've been disappointed
by Metroid I've been disappointed by Mario Karr. I've been
disappointed by that Mario Luigi game. There's kind of a
string of things here where it's like, oh, yeah, these
aren't as good as they should be.
Speaker 2: How do you feel about all.
Speaker 4: That Binanza was amazing? Right?
Speaker 2: I agree? I agree?
Speaker 3: An, Yeah, you know what I was playing. I was
traveling and actually rolled credits on in the airport right
before I boarded the plane is Kirby Air Riders.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Career Riders is one that we keep like over here.
Speaker 1: We've been talking about it while you were gone of like,
oh yeah, the more you play it, the more the
better that game is.
Speaker 4: It's really fantastic caves. It's actually, ah, it's really fun.
Speaker 6: Know.
Speaker 3: No, I don't think did Tendo has has lost their
touch at all. All right, let's get the super chests
first off. From Nathan Maloney. Also, it's like YouTube switch
back to the it's they're at names instead of just
their user.
Speaker 4: I can't never, you know, I can't keep track.
Speaker 2: I don't remember. You're right, it looks different, but I
don't know.
Speaker 3: And Nathan Maloney says, hey, boys, my twentieth birthday is Tuesday,
but we all know the real reason for the season.
Daddy Jeff's big game reveal in five minutes of Awards fest,
what is the reveal? You would bet your nose on happening?
Move my whole nose, whole nosy nose. I think I
saw someone say today, maybe it was happening. It makes
sense to me. Silent Hill one remake.
Speaker 1: Even though that does even though like that does seem
a little fast us. I'm working fast with Silent Hill though,
so maybe we happened.
Speaker 3: But I mean, Bluebetein has been busy, but you know
they have multiple teams. Gosh, like, I don't know if
I want to bet my nose on sold Hill one. No,
you think that the god of war Metro if anything
isn't happening here, So.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just I mean, I would like it to happen
here so that I can drop it from my fantasy
critic thing, although that I'm not gonna win that now
because I'm Metroid.
Speaker 2: But I uh, yeah, that could show up here.
Speaker 1: There's no reason it couldn't, but I don't It's definitely
not like a shadow drop or something. It's hard to
go with a guarantee, because it's like anything that's not
announced that would get announced here. You know, Prince Persia's
not and it's you can't. We can't say something like well,
sorrows will show back up here or something like that.
It's got to be a new announcement. I don't know,
what do you think?
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, I don't know half life right almost at
this point. Yeah, that's what The body parts Tuber's got
an interesting one that Star Wars Total War Game.
Speaker 1: I heard about years and years ago, and by now
it seems like it's overdue Metro Prime five.
Speaker 4: That's good, but not to go back to that discourse.
Speaker 3: And but you know, you were like this, maybe this
is actually probably finally sells five billion copies. I mean,
it's funny that like to think that reviews would matter
that much better I gave. But party's like, I don't
think it will now.
Speaker 2: No, I don't think it will now. Yep. It's it's
gonna be like everyone's got the excuse they need to
skip out on it. So here we are, all right.
Speaker 3: Next one is Simon Faskatchewan might have a dad movie
for you, Jeff see Sue.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been I've been meaning to watch that one
for quite some time, and I think that the sequels here, right, Simon, Yeah,
a guy killing a bunch of Nazis, right, Yeah, they
killed a lot of Nazis.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they steal his goal and she's just like, start
hunting them.
Speaker 2: Seems pretty cool now, to be fair.
Speaker 1: On the On the list of reasons to kill Nazis
and then stealing your goal, it's pretty high.
Speaker 2: It's not number one though.
Speaker 5: It's not number one. Yeah that's what.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're right, I killed them for the Holocaust personally,
so brave?
Speaker 5: So what what incredible? Men?
Speaker 3: Simon was a sketchewan sessence. Mike neglected his bike club
duties this week? Does that mean he plays four hours
of it next week? I don't think he's trying, Jeff
Tone to try, please, No, absolutely, It's never happened before.
At leased to miss weeks all the time, Back when
you guys had to work for fandom and they would
send you out to I don't know, DreamHack or whatever
you had to do, and it was like, oh, we
can't play bubbsy for five weeks now, And I'm like, okay, sure,
I'll make up content for you place.
Speaker 4: I don't work for while you're gone. So no, oh yeah,
like we didn't pay you.
Speaker 3: Well, come on, but no, I'll be back at it
the exactly wednesday for sure.
Speaker 1: But people got used to us not missing a lot
of time. This year though, because we did not, we crushed.
We have a list of Blake Club games beaten this year.
It is lengthy. Lows Brothers was this year. There was
a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 4: Child. Imagine if it was actually the next blightening now
he might have beat three more.
Speaker 2: Than this year. No chance, but at least suit Larry
for a while.
Speaker 5: Don in Justice. This can come to a boat by
the way.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of things.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's that that has a lot of funny. Uh,
A piece where one day it matters that things are
written in the book, then then the next day things
are just U everything's a vote apparently.
Speaker 1: That's Look, I think it's a it's a pretty good bit.
B what a break from that game? I mean, look,
it's not just me. You were all unhappy to sitting
through that game for four hours.
Speaker 2: I'm not doing it.
Speaker 6: Tell me what if you do that? Mike agin Dan
is consistent. He's consistent. He always does what benefits him.
You should know.
Speaker 4: That's crazy. I'll tell you what if you maybe play
it more than two hours the game. I'm only going
to do that MIDI game where I seduce peoplesductioned.
Speaker 2: Game please don't please God No where.
Speaker 3: He just talks about how small his dick is and
that he wants to part or ship on boobs or
whatever he talks about. So there, No, that's it. You
got it all right. Next up is also from Simeon.
Scotch One says, war Rats two D shooter with Rats
playing Metal.
Speaker 4: Thoughts hm Rats, huh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it depends, like how realistic the
Rats are two D shooter with Rats playing Metal.
Speaker 3: I think I only like two rats, like Master Splinter
in Remy from Ratititu.
Speaker 4: I don't even know if I like the other rats
or two.
Speaker 1: That's a really funny thing to say, Mike, I was
you were ready to volunteer it, like, oh man, holy shit,
that's funny.
Speaker 4: They seem kind of grubby, no offense, you know, I
get it. Yeah, I'll play I'll play anything, sure, war
Rats playing Metal. Yeah, let's go. Oh shit, I forgot
about Rizzo, damn it.
Speaker 3: David Darline says I challenge you to name three things
that different differentiate for Delphia and Boston. I don't think
you can. They did add later, I thought Jason was
gonna be here, my bad. Yes, Jason was ready to
step uh step in for me. But I'm here, I'm
ready to go. So sorry, sorry for bumpehue off, Jason,
but I do appreciate you being willing to help. But
I back, can still do this. Uh Philadelphia has cheese steak,
while Boston is just a mistake.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's pretty good. I like that, Yeah, very good.
Speaker 4: Uh, Philadelphia has Independence Hall while Boston ain't gotten at all.
Speaker 3: And then Philadelphia is where they made Rocky and Boston
is where you can go and fuck yourself. All right,
three differences there. People said it couldn't be done. They
weren't counting on Mike Manatti being here tonight though.
Speaker 2: Them all right, good stuff.
Speaker 4: We don't need any actual people from Philadelphia there.
Speaker 3: I should have made a city of brotherly love joke,
and Boston's the city of.
Speaker 4: No I'm glad I didn't do that. I don't think I.
Speaker 2: Can't do it. Like a negative thing that rhymes with
love is hard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I was like I mean words rhyme of
love dove.
Speaker 1: That's why every song is like the lull that came
from above, Like every song that every single one when
they talk about love, turns out it came from above.
Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of love from above. I ended an uber
ride that was very interesting. It's about very strongly of weed,
and the person just kept listening to the same religious
song with like and on the.
Speaker 4: Hills like listening to it.
Speaker 3: It was like also on the phone was the video
carrious studies of it. Yeah, And it was just the
same song over and over and over.
Speaker 2: I'm always surprised.
Speaker 1: How many uber drivers are like, like, I am ready
and willing to be playing my religious music the whole
time you're in here. It's it's a bold choice, Jesus. Yeah, sure, sure, okay, yeah.
Speaker 4: Next up is from lex License.
Speaker 3: This pass is good good huh Yeah, that's what I'm
definitely gonna make sure.
Speaker 4: That I play before our game of the year.
Speaker 3: That's basically like, that's basically that's that's all I basically
have time for to try. Is going to be try
dispatch play through match I Prime four, that'd be right.
Speaker 4: Maybe try Ghosts of Yote if I can, well, sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, game's good. Good.
Speaker 1: I've been like continuing to like watch people's reactions to it.
I've seen some people like talking about, oh, there's too
much so there's too many sex jokes, and it's like,
I don't necessarily think that people are getting what's going
on here. They're they're establishing a sort of like realistic
workplace environment, and it's like, if you've ever worked with
people these are supposed to be criminals on this team,
if you've ever worked with people who are kind of
like from that side of the tracks, Uh, people like
me that that's just what it sounds like at work,
and I think they do a really good job of making.
Speaker 2: It sound very natural. So I'm a huge fan of
that game.
Speaker 6: I'm glad you said that, Jeff, because I was going
to say, like you can tell the divide here, because
I'm like, this is the most natural dialogue I've heard
in a long time.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's and it's worth calling that out as like
that's real and not everyone's worked in an environment like that.
Speaker 2: That's what it is, So I.
Speaker 5: Get it a bunch of fucking cos, you get a
real Joe, that's what you're saying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, try at least try or work in a
real job for once.
Speaker 3: Yes, Jason Fulton says thoughts on the theory that dk
OGB was actually the cruise ticket out of Nintendo Joe
Nintenda gooners just said, yeah, let's get the boys some codes. Okay,
what's dk OGB donkey kong old girly bastard.
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I got nothing. DK's got to
be donk, right, That's why I thought I was just, yeah,
Dan googling for us. You sound scared to do so.
But I don't think it can't be anything bad.
Speaker 3: Oh Uh, I just I mean I google DKGB and
I'm getting nothing. I'm getting nothing of the o gb
uh might mean an office of group benefits.
Speaker 2: That's gotta be it, surely.
Speaker 4: Yeah. No one in chat either too. Is it just
og but a typo or d kgb?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 2: Oh g Like I'm read you take gang bang? Oh
my god?
Speaker 3: Oh you say, Jason, Oh my thank But I want
to reg like I couldn't remember that the.
Speaker 4: Acronym, Oh my god made that game?
Speaker 5: You don't remember him?
Speaker 4: I remember. I don't hear you piping. I'm Christian.
Speaker 1: That's the thing about podcasts is like if anyone's ever
been on podcast, it's like I remember Luke Smith describing
its like just being a shark who smells blood in
the water. Like you just your eyes go blank and
you just go for the next funny thing, and you
have no idea what you said ten seconds ago, let
alone what ten episodes ago.
Speaker 3: This makes this makes look I know, to make the
work account, you gotta you gotta shorten some things. You
cannot count on me to remember that oog beast it's
for a.
Speaker 4: Rng Atang Gang Bank.
Speaker 1: And I understood there's a lot of letters in there,
but you can't skimp on those ones.
Speaker 4: You need all those letters. Yeah, incredible.
Speaker 3: Uh deevid Arline says I thought Jase is gonna be remote.
I said, don't worries, David, Thank you so much. Zombie
Porn says so night. I just released a remaster a
Monolith Production's Blood.
Speaker 4: What I feel like I should have known about this earlier.
It's your fault, Like, oh, it looks good.
Speaker 2: Why did they have time to do this? They just did.
Speaker 3: They just released The Outlaws one that I haven't had
a chance to really play yet, and now we have
Blood Blood. Was you know, so you know I had
a three d Oh right, Blood was the game I
really wanted for the three d Oh that I think
my parents didn't want to get me because it was
just straight up called blood, right.
Speaker 4: I was looked at it. I'm like, boy, I bet
this is so much cooler than Doom. It's dupe, but
like made for the three d Oh, it's gotta be sweet. Gosh,
So this is this, This is just like out out.
I could be playing this right now. Just get to
move over Metroid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have been meaning to play this, but it's
been all Sectorian now Metroids, So I have not made
time for something like this yet, but I will because
I like all this stuff they're doing.
Speaker 4: Searching for blood on Steam's kind of difficult. A lot
of a lot of games the word blood and the title.
I'm just looking for vanilla blood. Just just blood Steam.
Speaker 2: Blood.
Speaker 1: Just go to the store and start shouting, I need
vanilla blood.
Speaker 2: You will be about someone about to be bound to
help you. I'm sure.
Speaker 4: Okay, blood refreshed supply. Why is there mixed?
Speaker 1: The people just been like this game's old. There's probably
some bug. There's usually like a bug early on that
causes that.
Speaker 4: All right, okay, okay, so whatever, I'm excited.
Speaker 3: Oh because there already was like a different remaster of
Blood called Fresh Supply, and this one is a different
one called Refreshed Supply.
Speaker 2: Does it replaced it or something?
Speaker 4: Mate?
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know whatever. I didn't I
didn't play that last one. Oh god, look at this
game looks sweet. Oh my god, you have dynamite. Oh
oh it, it looks so cool. I'm just gonna be
a blood guy.
Speaker 4: Oh you have hairspray in in a cigarette cigar lighter.
Speaker 3: You just have a pitchfork. Oh god, blood looks so
freaking cool. I should have gone in for the three
d oh those years ago.
Speaker 4: I blew it.
Speaker 1: You know that those things went on like social media,
when like an account says something and then someone quote
tweets it with like the image of like the Ohney
if this person was saying it. But for the last
five minutes, it's like, just put Dracula above you.
Speaker 2: Because, oh, blood looks so cool. I'm gonna be a
blood guy. It's just all right, yeah cool, I like it.
Speaker 4: I like it all right?
Speaker 3: Uh uh hailed me, says you guys and Gant absolutely
killed it with dancing on UPF genuinely loved the energy.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah we did.
Speaker 2: Uh huh. It was a good time, a great my family.
Speaker 1: My family watches a lot, my in laws, my sister
in law and her boyfriend, and uh, they were like,
we were worried about you. I'm like, Okay, I need
to work out a little bit more. It's like I
was like gyrating a little bit. I was simply going
for it, but I didn't need to look.
Speaker 2: Like I was dying on stream.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: Next up is from Steinar says, have you guys seen
this banjo kazuoi that was made in Dreams?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: I saw a sweet from Rare giving it a tip
of the cap. No, people are so they're still doing
things with dreams.
Speaker 6: Hell.
Speaker 1: Yes, I think this is like one of the top
tier Dreams creators or something like that. He is the
last project, he said, was his last one, and then
this one came out of nowhere and everyone's like, what
the hell?
Speaker 2: It looks nuts?
Speaker 1: We are I'm like, for sure to try to play this.
Uh it looks nuts and bolts and I'm looking at this.
They just made a banjo KAZOOI? How they made a
new Banjo Kazooi game.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 3: They never made Dreams available for PC. Right, they never
made it available for PC.
Speaker 1: They never followed through on the thing where it was like,
you would be able to publish these games independently from
Dreams and release them for everybody.
Speaker 2: Now, of course this is a it's Banjo Kazi can't
do that. But man, I want to play.
Speaker 3: This is so bad saying because that is like, yeah,
just looking at this, this is absolutely wow that somebody
is able to do that.
Speaker 4: Super cool.
Speaker 1: It looks it just said the whole trailer like looks
like there's a full video game there.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it is.
Speaker 1: Even if it's like one level with a bunch of missions,
that would still be impressive.
Speaker 4: Boy, what is uh? What is that Studio Media molecule molecule?
Speaker 2: What are they doing? That's a question. They're not closed down.
They're still doing something.
Speaker 1: I bet if I'm Sony, I think say, like, look,
Dreams was really cool.
Speaker 2: Can you take a lot.
Speaker 1: Of this and make the PlayStation roadblocks instead or something
like that.
Speaker 2: But they're gonna keep trying that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're right, kronel Rag, but that they
made me remember there's the more credo trigger rumblings happening.
Speaker 2: While I was gone, oh yeah, yeah, Yuki Hori. Is
that his name? Uchi Horri? Thank you? I was asked
about it.
Speaker 1: He got visibly flustered and said, I can't talk about that. Okay,
now I think it's probably safe soon. That's because there
is something happening. Also possible that something was happening. It's
no longer happening. He's frustrated by that, and he can't
talk about why he's frustrated.
Speaker 2: Who knows.
Speaker 3: That's a game like I don't almost don't want too
much done to it. I don't need a big, flashy remake.
Speaker 4: I don't even want like it to be two HD
two D. I, you know, just pulsh it up a
bit and make it so I can buy it on
my switch.
Speaker 1: A light HD two D I think would be fine,
But you're right if they go too far. It's like
that game's already one of the most timeless games ever
made in terms of it's visuals and presentation.
Speaker 2: You kind of don't want to mess with that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't really need like extra shadows in ure,
all right. Next up, Yere is from Credunrick. I'm loving
Metroprime four and Retro has set the bar for graphics
as Anintendo dev, and I'm expecting to save type of
level from the Mario and Zelda team in my opinion.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure the Mario.
Speaker 3: And Zelda teams will be able to do some cool things,
but you know, like Metroit is the one franchise that's
going to go quote unquote more realistic maybe is the word,
but detailed right, yes, And it is just insane how
pretty that game is. It is the best looking game
we've ever seen made, Like as a first party Nintendo title.
It's wild that I was able to select one hundred
and twenty frames percent as an option on Nintendo game,
which is how I'm playing it actually because I can't.
I can't tell too much of a difference with the
fidelity between sixteen and twenty And I'm like, I can't
actually tell.
Speaker 4: It's a little smoother, not much.
Speaker 3: I could play sixty pps fined of course, but yeah,
I'll go one twenty and yeah, like that first area,
gosh is so pretty. God, met your Prime music, Bet
your Prime music is so freaking good.
Speaker 4: How does the music well? Should make it at nine.
Speaker 2: No, Yeah, it's good. H R. T.
Speaker 3: Bick, who has been linking mem for twenty months, says,
do you all ever worry when these days Mike will
go to Disney and just never come back.
Speaker 1: He's gonna code Grandma himself. Oh No, I don't think
that's the implication.
Speaker 2: I think it's okay.
Speaker 4: I'll live there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I die there.
Speaker 1: I do occasionally worry about becoming U flock to the
permanent flock to Florida for Mike Manatti. I don't think
we're close to that yet, but it will happen eventually.
I think he will just one day decide I live
in Florida.
Speaker 5: Now, you'll like Disney.
Speaker 3: We work at Disney, and maybe I like to imagine
it'll be like the Dark Knight Rises.
Speaker 4: Well, Jeff will just like go there and sit at
like the Star Wars bar, and you'll be in retirement
working there.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'll say.
Speaker 3: Like, you'll just like look over and you'll see it.
I'll just like give you one nod like wink, and.
Speaker 2: You'll be like, I'll look away and be like I
got one mile. Uh huh, that's exactly.
Speaker 4: What's get it.
Speaker 3: Uh. I would always if I if I did have
a job. I would like to ride the train or something.
I want to work on the train, very into the
Disney trains. Jordan Jordangan says, I got my YouTube recap
yesterday and it's AI said my most fallowed video game
Deer wasn ten dogs.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's right.
Speaker 3: I think we do actually list that as the game category.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's good, but we do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fun. Thanks to everybody who's been sharing those.
There is a thread on the giant bomb reddit subreddit
for people who can share their giant bomb like if
that shows up in your thing and go share it
there if you want.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: Next up, we have Big jimbo Ryan on vacation laws
tarnish my legacy law anyway, it seems Phil Spencer Phil
Spencer isn't a smart fella after all, forced to play
by Microsoft's rules, tis why not do what I did?
Speaker 2: What did he do?
Speaker 1: Well, Big Jim O'Ryan retired. I guess oh that's right, yes, right, right,
uh yeah, I mean get like I always say, get out.
Well the getting is good. That's what Jim Ryan did
before that.
Speaker 3: He what if Phil Spencer do closed down Japan Institute? Yes,
I mean they was Jim Jim Ryan. Yeah, Jim Ryan
did Jim Ryan. Yeah, Jim Spence, I say, Jim Spencer.
Speaker 4: I don't think dance.
Speaker 2: Yeah maybe you did. Yeah that listen, that'd be I
would like to see that then Fusion dance. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that Phil Spencer has not had an opportunity
to get. While the getting it was good, the getting
has never really been good on the microside soft side
of things, It's gotten worse. I guess so relatively speaking, maybe, uh.
Speaker 3: Tuber says the Samus morn the lamarne r I p pipo. Uh,
the Lamoarn seemed like fun, little dude. I mean, I
played through Metro Prime too recently and they definitely remind
me of the bug people from that game. I'm a
big fan of all these kind.
Speaker 4: Of like we are an old civilization. Oo, we're kind
of ghosts now.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like that. Yep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm a lot Samus is the chosen one again. Yeah,
that's great. That's that's gonna work for me every time.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 3: Dean eight one four nine ow says only played the first,
but Octopath music is great. Oh yeah, those games have
incredible music. So and I bet zero has more, very
good music for sure.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: Next, Oh, there's a much more and I pushed the
refresh button here.
Speaker 3: Next up from Aeriel Delgado, did you watch the snap
Cube Sonic dubs?
Speaker 4: Any favorite lines?
Speaker 3: That's the one where like, uh, doctor Robotnik that gives
his speech and he says funny things, and I think
I remember when I don't know. I think they just
kept making shadow over and over saying that lane where
he's like that bloo hedgehog again of all places, said
it again again, I would.
Speaker 4: Laugh even more.
Speaker 2: I've never seen any of these, but I'll check some
of that out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're funny, They're pretty funny.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: Next up is from I think I skipped this one. Yeah,
what is from t bucket? What is your favorite final
game announcement at TGA minus? Probably Armored cores six and
twenty twenty two, but who forget? Who could forget Fast
and the Furious Crossroads?
Speaker 4: Honestly, that's like the Olyver remember as main the last
thing because it was like so obviously like it was
weird because like, yeah, like it was early times. He
still has had to take the money for even the
last spot and be like, yeah, if you can pay
a lot of money, I'll let you go last. And
they got the stars out there and they those stars
were selling it like it was a big deal so
badly it was hilarious. I think I think that these
were like, oh we.
Speaker 2: Really doing this.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I didn't even believe. Oh my god, the kids at
home are freaking out. I bet never one's just like
what is what is this? And then the game came
out and was awful.
Speaker 3: It was less infellentual did like the arcade game that
you would that Chili.
Speaker 4: God. So, I don't know, do you do any other one?
Last things stand out to you even?
Speaker 2: No? Not really.
Speaker 1: It was at the Game Awards.
Speaker 3: No, not because like at Summer Game Fest RESI eval
nine just recently. That was a great last thing.
Speaker 1: It wasn't Elden Ring at the Game of Ward, No,
it was at Summer Game Fest, right so maybe yeah yeah, yeah,
Armored Core six was incredible when that happened.
Speaker 4: That was very good. Uh.
Speaker 3: Next up is from Digital Firefly. Can't believe met Prime
four it's finally out came up. The great work guys,
Go Lions f TP.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: When I started that up, but there was like that one,
I'm like huh, this is a video game I own now, Huh, yes,
Prime four.
Speaker 1: It's the fabled, the fabled game is here, and it's
it's very strange. It's like watching a download was like, wow,
that's really bizarre that this game after eighteen years basically
is here.
Speaker 3: We've had a bunchet because we had that with Soak
Song and like, but god now, but maybe Half Life three.
So yeah, all these things just eventually usually do happen.
Speaker 4: It turns out you just gotta wait.
Speaker 2: If Duke Dugan Forever can happen, any of these can happen.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah.
Speaker 3: Cono Casama says, the Desert game is just Scorn too,
right Pean Time, Oh god, score scored two wouldn't be
big enough of a deal though, what it Maybe they
do that how many people played Scorn?
Speaker 1: Right, Like, you know, this doesn't have to be a
big deal, right, This could be a This could be
something that like some studio we you've never heard of
is teasing because they're like they have some money and
they're throwing it around their Netty's game or something.
Speaker 4: I mean, it certainly looks like Scorn and Scorn came
out in twenty twenty two, so like, yeah, it could
be scorn too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but scorn was good. Well no, there is like
all those faces on the way. Yeah, it could be scorn.
We'll see.
Speaker 3: And then dogg hole Hobby says, if uh, if a
head and a half laid an egg and a half
and a day and a half, how long would it
take a rooster sitting on a brass door knob to
hatch a hardware store?
Speaker 4: Give up? So did the rooster?
Speaker 3: Penis all that? Bobby Pornce says. Bobby Porn says, gamer
rap coming around? I see you know what dropping soon?
Oh shit, I have to figure out what day I'm
going to do. Uh the Cato Hearts final mix miss
here because we have a.
Speaker 1: Yes, we came up with some scheduling stuff that you
can actually see in the Giant Bombay okay, so okay,
so now you have a good.
Speaker 2: Idea of what we're doing, so you can flick around that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, work around that. Boom dogg Oh, that's the one
I just read and that one. D Monk says, this
is Joysy, Hey, Grob, thanks for blasting out my game awards,
Bingos Survey and Bluesky without telling me. Excuse me, sorry,
five or sixty seven responses, lots of Jeff fart sniffing jokes.
I think my favorite one with somebody said that the
free space should be Jeff Keilly saying I played this
one a few months ago, and I think you're really
gonna like it.
Speaker 1: That's that's the real problem with this being not thing
I don't look for or I don't envy Joey Z
figuring this out because so many of the things could
be the free Space, muppets showing up Kojama, anything with Kojma.
There's so many things like along those lines, But who cares.
It's just gonna be there for fun joyce. One of
the reasons I did that is I'm gonna We're gonna
I'm gonna make everyone who's on the talkover who do
one of those so thank you, like be starting to
share those back with me when you're ready.
Speaker 3: Soothing Bath says Jeff. I'm sorry I mentioned commensurate. No,
I yes, every time I say it, I'm like, that
was the wrong one. Uh, there's commiserate and there's commensurate
or commiserate and commensurate.
Speaker 1: I think I said, I don't know if I said
it right. Yeah, Yeah, it's like, it's just my brain.
What happens is I think I'm about to say the
right one, and then I like, no, that's not right,
and so I always say the wrong one after correcting
myself in my brain.
Speaker 2: It's the worst.
Speaker 3: And then uh Kama says, what's the best game diffusion?
I got Soka GiMA?
Speaker 1: Okay, So's balls? Is that what's happening here?
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
Speaker 3: Uh Pitch Jaffy, that's wow, Okay, I don't want to
think about that fusion.
Speaker 4: I think that guy thinks of Metro dread.
Speaker 2: Oh Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, uh, let's see uh Shagaro. Let's let's combine Shagaro,
Mia Moto and what's the god what's the two human guy?
Speaker 4: Dennis dak Oh Yeah, Mia Modak.
Speaker 2: There you go. There's my fusion.
Speaker 4: That sounds like a bad marble villain.
Speaker 3: Uh Jason FONELI says two things. One, I think the
statue is for Lords of the Phone in two and
two my TJ prediction is a cool guest character for
Tech and eight my heart says Tefa Lockhart.
Speaker 4: I mean it's so weird. They didn't do Tifa Lockhart already.
They gave us Clive right.
Speaker 3: They just gave us Clive in that game, which I
mean anybody, I.
Speaker 5: Think, And seven they gave Usncus.
Speaker 4: Right, which you know that. Yeah, that made it a little.
Speaker 6: Tifa wouldn't have been in because when they were developing
the characters like remake may not have even been out.
Speaker 4: Yet, like rems take take a long time, dude, right.
Speaker 6: Like, if if Tifa were to get into Tech and eight,
she would be like in two seasons from now these things.
Speaker 4: What's a long time? What's the state of tech? And
are people still kind of down on it?
Speaker 6: I don't know, it's still it's still a fun game
to play with your friends. A horrible unbalanced mass competitively.
Speaker 5: People been crying about that game for it. I stopped
looking after like the third patch, where like is the
worst patch of them all? I was like, well, I
guess that game is done.
Speaker 3: Also, Lords of the Fall two, Like, yeah, maybe it's that,
but boy, that would be nothing burger for me.
Speaker 2: Words of the Fall two will be the third Lords.
Speaker 4: Of the Fallen game, cor the fourth one, yes, Like
one of them is like singular and then the other
one's Pearl And it's like a combination of the first
two games.
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure. It's pretty sure. The new one is
just Lords of the Fallen and the right one.
Speaker 1: So there's Lord of the Fallen Lord of the Fallen two,
and then Lords of the Fallen was like a combination
of those two games with new stuff.
Speaker 5: I think it's in you and new game. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Nobody like right, yeah, yeah, okay, So Lord's the fall
into What a weird series.
Speaker 4: It's funny.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: On Steam there's Lords of the fall in twenty fourteen,
and then Lords of the Fallen.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's really just the same name.
Speaker 6: That's they were gonna call it the Lords of the Fallen,
I believe, but then they were just like, no, we're
going to drop that and scant the exact same name
both times.
Speaker 5: Oh because I remember then being the distinction of between
Lord and the Falling and the Lord of the.
Speaker 4: Fallen, So it was that really it would just be
the third one. I think it's just it's just a
third one.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 1: What is the most s guilty we as an industry,
and maybe our podcasts have ever been about getting excited
about one of these stunts or something that developers said
that turned out to be nothing. My uh, as much
as the echo the dolphin thing comes to mind.
Speaker 2: Like, I think the.
Speaker 1: Most s guilty we as a society have been is
when way Ford was like, we're working on a new
game that's based on an existing IP and we're like,
they're remaking Zelda too, They're doing something with Nintendo.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be amazing. Yeah, and do you remember what
it was?
Speaker 4: It was?
Speaker 2: It was like blade right the gone, yes gone got.
Speaker 1: So now I can't go through my life without hearing
the word Baku gone without laughing to myself.
Speaker 4: So yeah, oh my god, all right? Uh?
Speaker 3: And then large Mario says, what's the mount rushmore of
Canadian prime ministers?
Speaker 4: I don't dance a chat. Let's I don't know if
I could name four.
Speaker 5: I only know the one that made a black face.
Speaker 4: Yeah right, who's like just does the one dating Katie
Perry right right?
Speaker 1: And also the one that did black face. Now it's
like your name four governors of Ohio? Like I'm like, yeah,
it's like they're my whole life.
Speaker 4: I don't know. Uh.
Speaker 3: And then I think that is that I think we
are caught up on super chets, like so much. Our baby,
if you want to still send a super chat we
will read it before the end of the show.
Speaker 4: Back to you, Jeff.
Speaker 3: All right, vonderbar that's where game says. I just got it.
You used to start over. Okay, go ahead, Jeff start over.
Speaker 1: All right, it's the Internet. You're busy. Let's do this,
and by this I mean take a break.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we are going to talk about
everyone's as in your predictions for the Game Awards. Christian
got some insights from you all. We have the wisdom
of the.
Speaker 2: Crowd on our side. We'll find out what you all
think right after this. All right, we are back.
Speaker 1: It's time to decide, and we asked you all to
help us decide this time for.
Speaker 2: The game or the Game Awards predictions.
Speaker 1: So Christian put together a form, got all of your responses,
and now we will see what people think are going
to win these categories.
Speaker 2: I have a form over here. Let me just bring
it up here.
Speaker 1: Okay, should we should just work our way down from
the top. Right, Let's start with the Game of the Year.
Speaker 2: Now there Ie sees all the data. He's so excited
about it.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: All right, so spy shop for Game of the Year.
Speaker 1: We got a bunch of responses and ninety six point
five percent of respondents think that Clear Obscure Expedition thirty
three is going to win Game of the Year.
Speaker 2: Do you agree, Mike.
Speaker 3: Big heavy favorite? Right, it would be a huge upset.
I'm not sure if we get many upsets. I think
when it takes two to one, that was a bit surprising,
not like some like giant like I can't believe it,
but a little bit of an upset.
Speaker 4: And you know that was was that.
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty one that year that that happened, so uh yeah,
you know, it was a bit of an open field
that year. There was definitely not like a big front runner,
so maybe that's a bit why that happened.
Speaker 4: But this year that's a it's a huge front runner.
Speaker 3: It's you know, and it makes such a good story
that wing game of the years, this kind of tiny
game that didn't have much way of expectations and it
did really well by a genre that some people think
is dying and revitalized it. And it's got a story
people like, it's gotten music that people like. So it's
just it's hitting so many different fields and yeah, just
super critically acclaimed and it has definitely broken through and
has reached a large audience as big fans. I saw
that tickets for a concert with they just want to say,
and this sold out like immediately. It's it's like the
kind of game designed to win the game wards. I
don't mean that in like some snarky way, but it
doesn't deserve it. It will deserve it. Absolutely. I would
be happy to see it win. Yeah, absolutely the front Runner.
Speaker 2: How do you feel about the accusation.
Speaker 1: That all these people saying that Clip'scare Expedition thirty three
are going to win, are just uh, stealing my thunder
from when I predicted that earlier this year, and they're
all just on my coat tails and riding.
Speaker 4: It was funny because like, well, yeah, well I forget
what it was.
Speaker 2: Kim.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, maybe this is a game of
the n l A. You're like, look at me, I
promise you.
Speaker 3: Indeed, it was Wait, that's Running two app because like
you know what, that's right too, like the risk come.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, people really like it, I guess.
Speaker 3: And but you know, even that game, like I felt
like generally I heard people stop talking about that game
pretty quickly, not that that game is like a failure
or something. It obviously probably did very well and it's
going to continue to do well. But Claire Score is
a game that seemed to have a lot of ju
really conversation around it only quite down a little bit
when like Silk Song came out yep, and then you know,
like and then at that point this conversation was kind
of went from Silk Song to Hades two to Dispatch honestly,
but so much of the year seemed dominated by claarup Scare.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just have doing the Bomb twelve. That's since
I got as well.
Speaker 1: It's like in the recent weeks claib Scur has gone
right back near the top. So it's like, oh yeah,
everyone's continuing.
Speaker 2: To go back to this game.
Speaker 1: Let's see, it's after Clarubscure Death Straining two is number
two on here. Number three is Donkey Kong Bananza. Number
four it is Haities two, number five Hollow Night, Silk Song,
and number six Kingdom Come Deliverance too.
Speaker 2: I will say that the oh way is that is
that right? Is this in the right order?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, now I'm looking at it. It's like that
doesn't look right on the chart.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's basically almost an equal filled after
that with like, oh yeah it is yeah, Like honestly
it looks like okay, actually, here's what happened to be five.
Speaker 4: We have fifty seven responses. Fifty five people vote for
Claim Scare, and then eighty two and soaks on each
got one votes. So that's sound lobsided.
Speaker 1: No votes for Bonanza, Kingdom, Come Deliverance to or death
Stranding too effectively, statistically all of them are basically zero
and Claire Obscure is one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: So we'll see.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm on that gambling market, Mike, I don't
know if you saw that that skied I posted. There's
I saw the thirty eight million dollars involved in one
way or another. That doesn't mean there's thirty eight million
dollars on the line, but whatever, thirty eight million dollars
has been transacted for this Game of the Year bet,
and that also has about ninety eight percent saying that
clariup Scire is going to win, so it seems a
very likely winner this year. Okay, best game direction a
little bit more interesting. Number one still is Claire Obscure
Expedition thirty three with forty five point six percent of
the respondents. Then it's death Stranding two on the Beach
with that's thirty eight point six percent, and then Haities
two and Split Fiction split some of the decision there
at seven percent each, and then Cocote had one vote.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could see this one.
Speaker 1: Everyone knows who Kojuma is, right, so that would help
it get a lot more attention here.
Speaker 2: But what do you think?
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, I think Claire scire is still probably the favorite.
But yeah, the Koch of a factor.
Speaker 4: People know who he is, they like him the associated
with these shows. Maybe they want to see him on stage,
you know.
Speaker 3: Not that again, he wouldn't necessarily deserve it, but yeah,
I think I think that's why this is like a category.
Speaker 4: Maybe dest Ranting two does break through.
Speaker 2: All right, let's see your best narrative.
Speaker 1: Claire obscure once again a runaway favorite eighty nine point
five percent, and then with three votes, Silent Hill f
is your runner up there, followed by King Kingdom Come
Deliverance two getting three point five percent of the vote here,
and then with one vote, Destranding two on the Beach.
This this is also one where it's like get claib
Sciar is a lock. It's like such a firm lock
for narrative.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like Soundhoff again, maybe dark Horse because it's a
game that's not nominated for much else and it does
have a good story, so like, you know, I bet
it's getting decent votes. But yeah, claireb Scire is again
the favorite for just a lot of the awards, and
it's a game with a with a good story and
a very memorable story.
Speaker 4: So yeah, almost certainly going to win it.
Speaker 1: Best Art Direction it is Claire Obscure Expedition thirty three
tied with Hollow Night's Silk Song.
Speaker 2: Both with thirty five point one percent. How do you
feel about that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, this one is interesting, I think because they're both
very good looking games in very different ways.
Speaker 4: Claireup Scare, you know, just being a you know, kind
of traditional three D game that's like kind of realistic
but fantastic hole realistic.
Speaker 3: And it pulls it off really well. And then Silk
Song just having these this gorgeous two D visual design
that I absolutely love. I would probably tip my hat
to Silksong four, but again, like clip Scare is gonna
just get so much momentum in almost every category that
might just also win this one. Anyways, but I could
it could be sulk song. This one is definitely the
first one. I think Claire Skier has real competition.
Speaker 2: Yep, let's see after that.
Speaker 1: Hades two was in third, fourth is Ghost of the
Yota and fifth is Death Stranding two, and they're all
kind of equally separated there.
Speaker 2: Best score and music. Let's see here.
Speaker 1: So this is the person who wins would be the
composer Christopher Larkin, Darren you know, I'll just read who's
win in the lead here Lauri and Tester, who is
the composer for claib Secure Expedition thirty three has ninety
one point two percent of the vote, and then Darren
Korr before Hades two is number two is seven percent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the music was so good in this
game that it became like a story, like how did
the music get this good?
Speaker 2: Right? People did multiple follow ups on that.
Speaker 3: Yes, you're right, Yeah, and there's so much of it too,
like there's an insane out of music in the game
and it's a freaking good Yeah.
Speaker 4: Almost certainly a lock.
Speaker 1: Best audio design. This one is also looking pretty interesting.
Number one though still Claire Obscure Expedition thirty three. What
do you think the chances are just like pretty much
wins every category it's in, Like there's a chance a
return of the King situation, a return of the King situation.
Speaker 3: Yes, interesting because like, yeah, I'm trying to look like
what categories are is it in where maybe it doesn't
have a chance, Like I guess here's the thing. Does
it win best Independent Game and best debut in the
game as well?
Speaker 4: Then at their point almost seems to me it's exactly.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 1: It could be kind of like, oh boy, this is
getting it, like having to go up there every time
if here the developer is going to be a little
bit awkward at a certain point, like we've we thanked
everyone we can think of thank you, and just you
look away again.
Speaker 2: And then five minutes later you're back up there. All right.
Speaker 1: So best Audio Design, Yes, number one still Claire Obscurit.
Number two, with twenty two point eight percent of the
vote is Battlefield six. Those shooters always kind of like
playing this one a lot because they do obsess over
the sounds of those weapons and things like that, and
the and the machines.
Speaker 2: Let's see here.
Speaker 1: Number three right behind that one, though, with twenty one
point twenty one point one percent of the vote is
Silent Hill F a goofy game. That's when I think
you said you liked the sound of the audio design.
It was a spooky sign sound.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3: Part of it is, like you know, just like I said,
shooters are good with this, Like organs are kind of
good of audio design. They think about that a lot.
And there's just a lot of interesting things happening there
with that.
Speaker 5: And so sorry, Sony Helif has that buying sound at
the end of the game, which is pretty funny. When
I heard it for the first time, it's just dumb
Nutch used of that sound. What's side buying a sound?
The tone? I mean, it's you had to be you
had to be in buying for the buying folks out there.
Speaker 3: The talk about okay I got yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: All right, best performance, Ben Starr.
Speaker 3: Do you think do you think Claire scar is an
absolute lock on the audio design on Do you think
like or Battlefield can seek in there?
Speaker 2: This is one.
Speaker 1: Yes, I think this is the one that one of
these other ones could sneak. I think this is the
one where actually Silent Hill F my my name, I
would like that. Yeah, I think people will will kind
of want to award that game something best performance. Let's
see here, So this is gonna be a close one,
but it does look like, let me see there mostly
split between Ben Starr with twenty eight point one percent
of the vote for his role in claib Scar Expedition
thirty three, and.
Speaker 4: Then that's that's Jennifer English with twenty Oh.
Speaker 2: Sorry, you're right, Jenifer English. My bad.
Speaker 1: Yes, Jennifer English is Okay's number one for her role
in claib Scare Exhibition thirty three, and then Ben Star's
number two at twenty six point three percent, and then
behind them at twenty one percent is Troy Baker for
Indiana Jones in the Great Circle. I would really like
it if he won, but also I don't know if
he should win because he's he's doing an awesome impression
and I really like that game. But Ben Starr and
really Jennifer English, she stole that game. She is so
good in that game. So I think Jennifer English is
going to win this category.
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably the favorite. There might be some like I
don't know if there's gonna be expecially thirty three cannibalizing
in this although I don't think Charlie Cox is gonna
get too many votes here, especially when he kind of
came out and said, I don't deserve it to give
it some of my give it to my body, give
it to the Body Superformer instead, which you know they
won't do.
Speaker 3: So, you know, but you know, everyone likes Ben Starr.
Andy did a good job. You know, the Saint goes
for Jennifer English, and Troy Baker did do a good
john and getting very recognizable.
Speaker 4: Name and that helps. So those three are certainly I
think the favorites. But yeah, the good performances are around here.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Let's see here in Innovation and Accessibility of Assassin's Creed
Shadows with a forty nine point one percent of the vote,
and then South of Midnight and second there games for impact,
Despalote has fifty four point four percent of the response. There,
I think that's the one that's like it is very
like impactful in terms of like telling a story from
a part of the where we don't normally get in
video games. That's fantastic. And also it's like one of
the top ten highest rated games of the year. So
you combine those two things and I think it does
stand a strong chance of winning this one. Consume Me
is number two at nineteen point three percent, and South
of Midnight is twenty one point one percent. Best ongoing
Fortnite at forty five point six percent. I do think
it's Fortnite is probably going to take, especially after Simpson.
Speaker 4: I like as Simpsons season.
Speaker 1: I think everyone sort of did. And then Marvel Rivals
is number two here with the nineteen percent of the vote,
and then fifteen percent of the vote for Hill Divers two,
Best Community Sport. Baldersgate three at thirty three point three
percent of the vote is number one, then Hell Divers two,
and then no mann Sky's Independent Game fifty four percent.
Think it's going to be Claire Obscure Expedition thirty three uh.
And then twenty six point three percent is is Silk Song,
ten percent is Blueprints, and eight or really nine percent.
Speaker 2: Is Hades two.
Speaker 1: I think what's happening here by because everyone voted for
Clay Obscure for Game of the Year. I think you're
right that they think and they feel the people voting
on this, that's like, let's spread the love around here
a little bit. If that game is gonna win Game
of the Year, it doesn't need to win this one
as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this part of me actually doesn't expect even though
it's kind of weird, like, well, what if it's on
for this it's game of the Year, I does not
win this.
Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of people are like, eh.
Speaker 2: What is this?
Speaker 4: This is an indie game.
Speaker 3: I guess maybe you know, there's so much conversations about
what that means and so on and so forth. But yeah,
I think there's just a human uh, it's a human
nature thing that the love might be spread around a
little bit here and maybe this is where Silk Song
can you know, it's funny to say, Soaksong squeeze by
with a win a silk Song is amazing that game
is could go through this whole award show without winning anything,
but you know.
Speaker 4: Maybe get something here. There's this there's so many good
games in this category. Two.
Speaker 3: I mean all these games here are actually like among
my favorite games this year.
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
Speaker 3: I played a ton of ballped I rolled credits on Ballpit.
Actually right before I left on my trip. Blue Prints
is still one of my favorite games. So there's a
part of me is like, maybe I might like expos
to thirty three more than any of these games.
Speaker 4: But I'm kind of like, yeah, it's gonna win a
lot of awards. Sure would like to see something else
get something Yep, that brings us to best Debut Indie Game,
which hasn't even a larger run for Expedition thirty three
with seventy percent.
Speaker 2: Of course, this is the one where.
Speaker 1: Megabonk, Right that Megabonka, the developer of Megabank, was considered
here and then he said, please drop me from that
because I've made games before.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's in the spirit of the award,
and he was.
Speaker 1: So now there's only four options Blueprints, Clare, Obscurity, Discipal,
Loo Day, and Dispatch. Let's see, Blueprints is nineteen point
three percent and Dispatch is eight point eight percent. I
think Claibscrea actually probably does end up winning that one,
and then that's that's a bigger reason why they it.
Speaker 2: Might not win independent game so they can like again
spread the love a little bit.
Speaker 3: I'm surprised because, like I assume Dispatch wasn't getting Phonomal
for anything just because of timing, so it didn't make
it in here.
Speaker 4: Maybe like episode one was ready at that time, right.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, exactly yes, And I think you know that
wasn't a super strong category.
Speaker 2: People are always like, what's a debut indie, and it's like,
I guess it's this one. We'll go for that.
Speaker 4: It's a category.
Speaker 3: And I wonder if after this guy asking to be
dropped from it, we even see this category again next year.
Speaker 2: I hope not.
Speaker 1: I think I would like to see more like categories
that would directly award specific kind of development jobs rather
than more stuff like this, But I don't think that
also matters so much to what he's doing over there.
Speaker 2: Best mobile game Uma musame pretty derby.
Speaker 1: Eighty four percent of the respondents there say that one's
gonna win.
Speaker 4: Is that our audience or you think there's actual sort
of truth to this?
Speaker 2: I guess truth. I think it's gonna win.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's going up against Destiny Rising, which
I think is okay or too good, persona PERSONA five,
the Phantom X, which I don't think people like, Sonic Rumble,
which many people don't seem to like, and Withering Waves,
which I've heard I've had people explain to me and
I always forget. I think it's another Mijo Yo versus
style game.
Speaker 4: I always think it's Wuthering Heights related, which you know
it can't be true.
Speaker 2: No, I know, God what if it is? Though?
Speaker 1: Best VR AR this is a pretty even split between
Marvel's Deadpool VR Alien Rogue Incursion and I'm sorry, actually
number two would be The Midnight Walk and number three
just behind it is Alien Rogue Incursion.
Speaker 2: I think Deadpool probably just ends up winning based on
the name.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Alien's a bit of a name too,
But you know, I don't know. I don't play VR games.
I have no input here myself, but so it's interesting
to see this one be pretty even.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Now we're in the genre category, so I'm just gonna
hit the winners for these ones based on other respondents here.
Best action game Haighties two with sixty eight percent of
the vote, Best Action adventure game Hollow Night Silk Song
with fifty eight percent of the vote.
Speaker 4: All that's good, Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 3: That's not those two get an award, I suppose, right, yeah,
because exactly claiup Scare can't hurt them here, right exactly.
Speaker 1: But in the best RPG category, it does seem like
Claire up Scare with eighty nine point five percent of
the vote is going to hurt About and Kingdom Come
and Monster Hunter Wilds and the Outer Worlds too, porbe
Citi in two pretty good games and there's.
Speaker 4: Just no chance they're not going to get anything this
year for an award.
Speaker 2: Yeah, two good games. Let's see here.
Speaker 1: Best Fighting two XKO is tied with Capcom Fighting Collection two.
Speaker 2: I think that's our audience.
Speaker 4: Yeah, as funny as I think it would be for
a collection to beat the new game from Riot, and
like I definitely, you know, I love Fighting Collection two.
People are going to vote for the new game two
x KO will people won't vote for City of the
Wolves Wolves. I can't say that word apparent only uh well,
you know what. It got a decent reception, but you
know there is the Saudi Arabia, a weirdness you know
they put Yeah, that's characters. Yeah, it's got to stake
on it. It stakes a little it stakes a little bit. Yeah,
it won't be that.
Speaker 1: Let's see here, Best Family Donkey Kong Bonanza Massive lead
there with seventy seven percent of the vote.
Speaker 2: Lego Party and second there were twelve percent of the.
Speaker 3: Vote Lego Party. Give Lego Party an award I love Bonanza.
I don't know why it's a family game aside from
the fact that.
Speaker 2: It's it's for everybody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Nintendo, but this is always the Nintendo category.
For the most part, the Nintendo game usually ends up winning,
and it won't be Mario Karr World this year. So
Best sim Slash Strategy Final Fantasy Tactics the Evilies Chronicles
with forty nine percent of the vote, Number two though,
but twenty percent of the vote Two Point Museum.
Speaker 3: Maybe the most excited I would be for a win
all night, Jeff is if two point Museum gets its
rightfull win here. Nope, fal Pa Tactics evens Carlos Short
It's great. It's a remaster. That doesn't disqualify it, of course,
but Two Point Museum is a fantastic original game. I
think them pitting Simons strategy games together for no real
reason is a bit of a shame. But I got
got to love Two Point Museum. I would love to
see it win.
Speaker 2: An award Best Sports Slash Racing.
Speaker 1: Mario Kart World is in the lead there though, with
fifty seven of the vote.
Speaker 2: Nothing really close.
Speaker 1: Sonic Racing Crossworlds is at twenty six point three percent.
Speaker 2: That that'll be a little disappointing. I think you like.
Speaker 3: Do you think the tendill would like notice if the
Sonic game beats Mario kartt World, I kind of would
like to set it almost.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they would notice. Yeah, and they should.
Speaker 1: They should be put on They should be put on
notice for that. They need to recognize that their game
did not do what it needed to do. Best Multiplayer
Arc Raiders with forty three point nine percent of the
vote as a pretty hefty lead. There Peak in number
two with thirty one percent of the vote. I would
like to see Peak win, but I would not be
mad about our creators winning.
Speaker 4: Yeah, both of them makes sense.
Speaker 1: Best Best Adaptation a Minecraft movie with forty fifty two
point six percent of the vote, and then the last
of a Season two with thirty one percent of the vote.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess whatever, man I.
Speaker 4: Find that category.
Speaker 3: Yeah, by not, as long as it's not that Devil
May Cry anime that I think looks repulsive.
Speaker 2: Yes, but most anticipated game? Why do we even do this?
Speaker 1: Grand Theft Auto six eighty six percent of the respondents
saying that one Number two is Resident Evil Requiem with
let's see pre votes, So there you go. Content Creator
of the Year Duh Kai Sinnet, followed by moist Critical,
the two names I do recognize the most, although I've
never seen any moist Critical content. The Burnt Peanut with
eight point eight percent of the vote.
Speaker 2: I'm still pulling. I'll pulling for the Burnt Peanut personally.
Speaker 1: Mike Best Yep, that's right, Best Esports Game, League of
Legends with thirty three point three percent of the road.
Speaker 4: I don't want to hear about legal legency work. You
know when Legal Legends came out two thousand and nine.
I don't want to hear about it anymore.
Speaker 2: Yep. It's just something Jan's downloading it. It's crazy.
Speaker 4: It's like this category is depressing Legal Legends, DoD to
two Counterstriketh, which is just counter strict God Valerie, even
Mobile Legends Bang bang.
Speaker 2: That's the one with the orangutan gang bang?
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, God, Sports sports is sad, Yes, it is
best Esports Athletes.
Speaker 1: Oh God, who did you guys even look this up?
Did you guys really have an opinion on this? Minard
is God damn, I know it's min Rd. I don't care.
Minard's a funnier thing to say, U Minard.
Speaker 4: Uh uh.
Speaker 1: Look there's a store out here called Minars, and I
go there. Yes, And then I turned to someone and like,
look I'm scratching minars and everyone laughs.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, it's a great time. Oh no. Uh so,
I guess the best esport athlete is Mina r D.
Speaker 5: Hell yeah, there's some respect on the too.
Speaker 1: Goddam continue best the sports team as always, as we
all predicted, Gingy of the League of Legends est sports scene,
hooray Lego Legends. God Esports doesn't even like, like like
do anything anymore, like the fact that he still has
to appeal to them, I guess because they have big
audiences or whatever so.
Speaker 4: They can advertise on there, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think he's trying to get their juice
instead of the other way around.
Speaker 4: It's weird, okay, weird.
Speaker 3: Remember the Overwatch League ominated for any of this.
Speaker 1: They had the league That whole league was the Shanghai
Dragons or whatever what.
Speaker 3: All sorts of team names and team owners and yeah.
Speaker 2: God, that is the predictions out of the way from
the community.
Speaker 1: Christian. I have a document here, a sheet that can
open up. Yeah, and I can enter stuff in here, Yeah,
do you have do you have like an idea of
like what you want us to do? You want us
to like predict like what games will be there, and that.
Speaker 5: Kind of announcement. I want, Like what do you think
is gonna come out? Like something crazy? Try something crazy?
I need I need the algorithm for this, Pete.
Speaker 2: How about this? Like how about this? Let's do our
our our luck, let's do our far fetched and let's
do our dream scenario. So three guesses.
Speaker 1: Why don't why don't we start with do you want
let's start with the dream scenario?
Speaker 2: Let's start with the wild one.
Speaker 1: So what is like the completely out there thing that
you think it probably isn't gonna happen, but that you
still want to happen.
Speaker 3: That the Fantasy nine remake was not canceled. It's actually real,
and here it is, and it's very good and pretty
and nice and VV has a good voice. It doesn't
sound like an adult woman doing an annoying brat voice.
It's not a you know, a Bart Simpson problem. I
don't think it's happening. I think that project was real
and it's not happening anymore. But if it showed up
here and it turns out it's okay, I would feel
a lot better.
Speaker 1: I will go with a Star Wars.
Speaker 2: Shadows of the Empire remake.
Speaker 4: There you go, hell yeah the Empire. Yeah, you'll get
you'll get a really bad Saber interactive port and you'll
let Yeah. I would like it that, Yeah, all right?
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, I want like a full Resident Evil
Too style remake of Shadows of the Empire, a thing
that just won't ever happen because John Drake hates me. Okay, Mike,
what do you think is your far fetched one that
you think will happen?
Speaker 2: Oh? Boy?
Speaker 4: Is halfway? Is halfway three far fetched anymore?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 4: Where?
Speaker 5: Where is the Yeah? Where's Gabe's boat? Right now?
Speaker 4: We need to chick the where's boat watch?
Speaker 2: We need to go get on boat watch.
Speaker 4: Where's Gabe? He's sailing towards l A right now. Yeah,
I guess I'll say half way three. Screw it? Why
give it as a part of me like that? It
could there's a pointment. It's like they're not going to
go to Killy. Of course they could go to KILLI.
They could, but they could.
Speaker 1: Mikes or fact, I think it's it's halfway three, It's
always far fetched. Even with all the smoke around it,
I think it still qualifies. Okay, let's see here my
far fetch that could happen? All that I want to say, Man,
I want to say, uh, the Mario three D gets teased,
but that's too far fetched.
Speaker 2: That's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Castlevania a new yeah, hell yeah.
Speaker 2: New major Castlevania because I think there's I think I
could happen.
Speaker 1: But it's on the other side of that because it's
Konami and I don't think Konami would actually make the
deal with with Kiley for this, But there's always money,
always talks, and they could probably make make a kiss
and makeup if enough money is on the line.
Speaker 5: Listen, didn't they didn't They show telling his off for
the first time on the on the Game of Wars
or something.
Speaker 1: I don't remember, Christian. I feel like that's something that
was like its own stream, but I remember.
Speaker 5: But I'm pretty sure he announced it in the get
in like in one of his shows.
Speaker 1: Jet help me, all right, Mike, And what do you
have for guarantee? People can take their money go gamble
on this and they'll get a guaranteed return.
Speaker 2: That this is going to be at the Game Awards.
Speaker 4: Oh god, it's hard.
Speaker 3: It's probably too soon for visit or o D right,
like he is not going to be there to talk
about new games. He's still going to be doing Maybe
maybe you'll get the death Ranting two PC port kind
of announced or talked about there.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna get Megan Ma because it okay, it
can't just be like this gives good a show, because
I think they even said ziel And is going to
be there, and I wonder if this is where we
see like Leon or whatever we're all expecting to show
up there as kind of the fun interesting thing.
Speaker 3: What else could capcom be doing? That's right, like what's
what's after Resident Evil? Asides from just more Street Fighter
and stuff.
Speaker 1: But I don't know, you know, the one of the yeah,
one of the stories this past week was Dad Rising
could be back.
Speaker 2: Right, you know what?
Speaker 3: And yeah, you're right, and I believe that, and we
haven't been announcing. Yeah, if you want to even tell me
something that's absolutely gonna happen, I think that's it. I
think that Comy was here almost for sure. Forget the
Comy was announce already. Yeah, they now sawka me last
time or there at Summer Game US or something. So,
but yeah, sorts something to announced. It will be that
dead rising in Hollywood that they talked about.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well you could account the Leon Regal residual nine
that says like more specific guess.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's see you said, I'll do both of those.
Let's go just do a slash Leon or are you nine?
Speaker 3: They're not going to reveal that pragmatis secretly a meg
Man game. They're going to keep this surprised for when
it comes out.
Speaker 2: Of course, why ruin it?
Speaker 1: They've been able to keep it locked down for this long,
so yeah, no one will believe me. So yes, let's
see here. What was that there was a game that
just got rate about. Oh that was des Stranding two
for PC. I guess that would technically be something new,
and I bet that does happen there.
Speaker 2: I'll make that my luck for you.
Speaker 4: You need to be careful this category because people might
be like Jeff Grubb says that you guarantee that this
game is gonna be at the Gable War.
Speaker 1: Yes, this is all just speculation and guesting. Thank you
Mike for that. I always forget that people are like
that about that when it comes to me the topic
I guess to on PC, grub's a lot.
Speaker 4: There you go, I'll play it.
Speaker 1: Then I know that that's like it was like the
worst news for me to play in that game was here,
and that it's like, oh, man, I guess I can
probably just wait a couple of weeks and play on PC.
Speaker 2: That that sounds better.
Speaker 1: Okay, So my lock is destroting to on PC, Mike's
locks are dead rising and Leon for Resident Evil nine.
Let's see, my far fetched guess that could happen is
a new major Castlevania. Mike's far fetched that could happen
is Half Life three. My dream scenario is Star Wars
Shadows of the Empire remake, and Mike's dream.
Speaker 2: Is Final Fantasy nine remake.
Speaker 1: Man, I'm sorry that that that has slipped into being
a dream and not just far fetched.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what a roll, because it's like everything else is happening.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I guess this is happening for sure, and
they were even like releasing new art and talking up
that anniversary so much, and then it's just kind of
had to hear from like a Jason Schreyer tweet like actually, no,
that's not happening.
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, okay.
Speaker 1: Yep, it sounds like something they were doing, and they
kind of put it aside.
Speaker 2: That's that's the worst They should.
Speaker 5: They should Who is going to be the famous people
on the show this year? Who's gonna who's the olivatory? Is
he gonna show up?
Speaker 2: I say, shape, yeah that happen. Eminem could be there.
Speaker 1: They've had in the past Vin Diesel, and they've had
al Pacino for some reason.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be something real stupid and and weird. Oh,
Aaron Paul will probably show up to roshus right, A
couple video games all the time, anything to Dispatch, So
Charlie Cox might show up. Uh well, he'll be like,
I still didn't know I was in a video game.
Speaker 1: Oh do you think I bet Aaron Paul does the
award for best performance. I bet he get a hand
setut for best performance so they can acknowledge that he
was in Dispatch and stuff.
Speaker 3: Maybe because they like to have last year's winner do
that one if they can. Oh, that's right, you're right,
that is how that one works.
Speaker 2: You got a good point.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right?
Speaker 1: I think what we'll do is we'll take one last break,
we'll come back, we'll talk about what we've been playing,
and clean up some super chats right after this, we're back. Mike,
what have you been playing?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I said, I.
Speaker 3: You know, I didn't play much or any messearch once
I was in Disney, but in the airport and traveling,
I was spending a lot of time playing Kirby air
Riders road Trip mode, which is a single player mode
that is actually more and more interesting the further you
get into it, because the difficulty does ramp up a bit,
so the things you're doing to like get you know,
power ups to your car just unlucky new cars. So
sometimes I will fail a challenge and you get to
pick a different car. I'm like, oh, I do need
to use the car that has like better air gliding
right or tighter turning or stuff like that.
Speaker 4: It's pretty fun.
Speaker 3: And also like you know, there's a story with these
cut scenes and it does go somewhere and you know
there is like a climax to it.
Speaker 4: I'm like, since I was expecting this, that's fun.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, So it was like a relatively beefy single
paramount and even do give you a reason to go
back and play it even more. You know, I'm not
sure if I'm going to do that, especially as now
I'm not sure a prime for but like you know,
I would be I'm sure I would have a good.
Speaker 4: Time if I did.
Speaker 2: You're not against it? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Sure against it? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Are you? Are you gonna be down for you PF.
Tomorrow we're playing City Trials?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I just I gets concerned that all
we do is play City Trials the bad MOE and
then talk about how we don't get this game, like
like the stuff that's better about it.
Speaker 1: We could do the fun stuff too, But I mean,
I think I'm starting to understand and like get City.
Speaker 4: Trials right, You're right, I want to play to not
take it seriously.
Speaker 1: I think the key is like, let's just go have
some fun and who cares, which I think is probably
why so many kids liked it. It's it's so obduse
that even when you lose, it kind of feels like
that doesn't matter and you guys all just had a
good time together.
Speaker 3: I don't know, right, because like, well, like because I
play a lot of those you know, mini games that
you can play at the end as just part of
road Trip, and they almost kind of make more sense
than me in that context. Sure there, so I know
what they all are now, and like I have this game,
I guess I am curious now that I have this game,
knowledge about what I you know, what kind of cars
I should be using, what's kind of stats maybe matter
for these things?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe that, Maybe that'll be a good time. I
do want to try more city trials.
Speaker 3: You know, we can make those lobbies, and because when
you make those lobbies you even just do things like
go into specific mini games right away.
Speaker 4: Even I think that's the meame.
Speaker 2: That'll be fun. We should do a lot of that.
Speaker 1: So yeah, looking forward to playing some of that with you.
And I need to finish road Trip. Actually, I'm got
most of the way through that, so I should just
complete that. You know, started Metroid We talked about it
a little bit, but so far I'm really driving with it.
I think that this this early segment that is so
that is kind of onboarding you. It really does feel
like it's trying to like get you to understand like
the kind of gameplay loop you're going to be encountering.
I've been like, yeah, this is completely acceptable as the
long as I get on the other side of it,
and it feels a little bit more like a Metroid game.
You know, people talk about it and like a way
where it's like it doesn't do that at all, and
then some people talk about it's like, no, it clearly
does over here, just like it's a little bit separated
from some of these other places, describing the idea of
it being more like a Zelda dungeon, a big Zelda dungeon, Like, Okay,
I need to see that for myself and see what
that feels.
Speaker 3: Like, right, because like you know, I just played Metrod
Prime too, and it's kind of like that also in
the sense that you have a hub area and from
there you access these kind of three larger sub areas
and they kind of connect to each other through like
one elevator. Also, and in each of them there's kind
of one time where they're like, no, now you need
an upgrade. You going and get back at the hub
area or back in that one other area. So I
wonder if it does that at all, or if it
is very self contained, like you're in this area, yeah
until you finish it. Now you go back to the desert,
go to the next area and you're in there, you know,
And again even that will be okay.
Speaker 4: As long as those.
Speaker 3: Sub areas aren't linear, right, as long as there's kind
of interweaving happening there, I think I'll be okay. So yeah,
like I'm curious to see, like what I do think
about that, what I do think about more of these
interactions with the human characters and so on and so forth.
But like the positives of the game are already like
shining through very much so, just how gorgeous the game is,
how good the game sounds, so good, the game feels
to control.
Speaker 4: I love like fine tuning with the gyro. This is
the first switch or switch to game I have played
since maybe Mario Odysty where I'm like, maybe I should
be playing this doctor moot to see what it's like.
I almost never care about that.
Speaker 3: Yep, now I'm a little bit curious, j Arthur, I'm
playing one twenty FPS mode actually, yep, same.
Speaker 1: Seven and twenty one twenty that works really well for me. Yes, yeah,
just seven twenty p right.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Then other than that, it's really not been a lot
Like it was a little bit of Kirby. I did
play quite a bit more secretary. I've talked about that
in a bunch of places now, though, but I got
I'm seventeen in the world. I'm sure it's I'm sure
I'm not anymore. But when I last looked, I was
seventeen in the world, Mike, and that was it was
battling to get there for sure, although I am a
little afraid of like poking the bear of Jacob Geller
and those others, because if they beat me, it's like, oh,
am I going to go back in there and get
in that competition, because those runs for that campaign mode
are half an hour. If you're really going to deliver
something that's a half an hour. There are other modes
that are just like Geometry worse. It's like classic where
it's like, oh, that was like five to ten minutes,
and I'm like, oh, why didn't we focus on this instead,
as Chris Plant suggested. So I've been playing some of that,
but mostly that was like me being like, Okay, I
set my time in campaign. I kind of want to
just play Metroy but it's not here yet, so it's
kind of killing some time with these other modes. And
now I think I'll probably hopefully be able to just
put that game down. It was It's really good. It's
now up there as another one of my potential games
of the year. It's it's just it absolutely delivers on
a really refined, like exquisitely designed follow up to Geometry
Wars in a way that none of the Geometry Wars.
Speaker 2: Sequels ever really were.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, this is clearly made by people who
understand arcade style games dualstick shooters, and you know, of
course they do. They have the pedigree of being former
house smart people, so it's like they probably have thought
about this kind of game their entire lives at this point,
and it's obvious when you're playing it, you know what
anything Oh yeah please, no, I did play it, but
I just realized. You know what came out today is
that VR new Thief game.
Speaker 4: Remember that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Whoa, Yeah, that's weird. I just saw him, like, oh
that happened. There's a new Thief game and it's VR only.
Speaker 5: Is the multiplayer game or player?
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know if there's I don't know
if it's a multiplayer. Just so there's a new Thief
VR game. Uh, and that is that is the thing,
and that'll probably never play, but I don't know, maybe
it's really good. Maybe someday if I have like that
new valve, they I'll play it.
Speaker 4: Weird.
Speaker 1: Uh, all right, let's se Yeah, I was gonna ask
you anything else that you want to talk about.
Speaker 4: No, okay, it's going up with super jets. All right,
more of those? All right, let's see where did we
leave off here? Canadian Prime ministers uh Tiy Morales says,
please read Jeff. Every time I hear you guys tap
up persona, it always reminds me of how Jeff read
Rise as rise. It's funny every time.
Speaker 1: It's actually pronounced Mike, you messed up there, So I
bet bad, my bad.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: Jabis has just beat Absolom and should know last night
rip my top tent.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got gonna start kind of like putting it together.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what it's handy that I started doing that.
Speaker 3: If a backlock to think I get, I can just
look at the games I beat by for sure, and
I'm like I looked. I'm like, okay, I beat twenty
five games this year. I forget that came out this
calendar year. So now I can start from there and
figure it out gosh absolutely and Shnoby both have pretty
good chances of being on the list. I don't think
either of them are top fivers because yeah top face
to even as to think about it, there's a lot
of games. There's a lot of games I really like,
so we'll it's kind of put Yeah, see what's interesting.
I like Shanoby, but like like Dan likes Shnoby more
than I did, which is not a prediction I would
have had going into this year.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Same, Yeah, and I uh, I think most of us
will fall on the side of Shnoby versus Indagrad a
guide in Rage Bound.
Speaker 2: But I don't think I'm necessarily alone. I think I
prefer Rage Man.
Speaker 1: I've played some Shnoby, I need to play more, and
I intend too. That's one of the games I will
be playing before we actually have our conversations.
Speaker 4: Kno neku Sama so close net Goot Maco Maco reactor.
Uh time for game. It's is the stone Cold Lock
of the Century of the Week. Where is that from?
That sounds so familiar. I know I can't place it either,
so I'm googling it because I'm like this, that's a
funny joke and it sounds like something I remember.
Speaker 3: I feel like it's like, in my mind, I'm reading
it as those news reporters from Family Guys. Oh it's Carl,
It's Carl from fucking Aquiteene Hunger for Us.
Speaker 2: That sounds right, okay.
Speaker 3: She ever says, I guarantee a trailer for Secret Level
season two with the major segment featuring fair games.
Speaker 4: Oh man games.
Speaker 3: I never did see that Megan Man thing that they
did for that. Uh, apparently something I heard it. I
can't don't know if I could be bothered to start
up Netflix or whatever it's online.
Speaker 1: It will probably take you longer to like sign in
and all that stuff than to actually watch.
Speaker 4: It exactly U.
Speaker 3: Lastly, it says, hey, guys, what should I get myself
tomorrow from my thirty eighth birthday and the ideas I've
been wanting a placeation fight pro but I can't justify
the cost. It was stupid how that thing was like
a little bit cheaper on Black Friday or whatever, and
I was.
Speaker 1: Like, maybe I should I considered it is when I
did not, Yeah, I didn't save my money.
Speaker 4: Ye, get yourself a fun lego if you want to
get the Game Boy or even something new fancier.
Speaker 3: I think I kind of wanted that Enterprise D. I
think it already sold out, so I don't know how
difficult it is to find that, but or you know,
maybe get yourself like that and store if you're into that,
or Analog three D.
Speaker 4: These things are fun. There's some fun hardware out there
right now and is great, and seventy dollars is still
worth it, fires is Mike, can we get a December
calendar reveal? Please?
Speaker 3: Well, the cow is gonna be like, we're not gonna
be able to make a twenty twenty sixth calendar, right,
it's gonna be Encounter comes out a toy Joy six
for twenty twenty seven is what's probably gonna happen there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got a lot of stuff on the line,
and yeah, we keep reminding people and stuff will start
coming in twenty twenty six and if it's like something
like that, it'd have to be a calendar for the fall.
I was maybe working on a song for the Christmas
album though they're talking about the calendar behind you.
Speaker 4: Oh right, okay, my my Sega console.
Speaker 3: I don't know which I love, so yeah, dang, okay, Yeah,
it's uh it's been on Dreamcast, right, I came, I
left in November.
Speaker 4: It's December.
Speaker 3: Now, let's see what console is gonna show for the
I predict for the final month of this Sega hardware calendar.
It's going to be the Sega Genesis.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, please, all right, alright, stand up,
being going back there. But the game it's a game gear.
Speaker 1: Everybody, I thought it was the Neptune's has just.
Speaker 4: Five more minutes on it because that's how much battery
life a.
Speaker 2: Man get its ass.
Speaker 1: Someone finally finally putting the game gear in its place.
Speaker 3: Really coming down hard on the singa game gear, everybody. Uh, fun,
Grant P Says, my name is Jeff Grubb. I'm officially
confirming that Pepsi Man too is being shadowed dropped at
the t LA gable.
Speaker 2: There you go, that man Pepsi was fun.
Speaker 4: Jdkimp says, what would a Metroid land food be?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 3: There'd be some kind of like savory gelatin dish that
looks like a metroid.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, metroy brains, chilled chilled monkey brains, okay, racist.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, without a doubt.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, good, good good, Uh And that's it. That's
it for the super Chats.
Speaker 2: All right, fantastic, Mike. Think with that we should probably
get out of here. Uh glad you're back.
Speaker 1: Uh are you getting right back in the swing of
things of like regular streaming.
Speaker 2: Is there a nineties Disney happening and all that stuff
with you?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we kind of do our nineties Disney because we
usued to do it the first of them month, But
I was gone so figured that out.
Speaker 1: I'm like, report, is there gonna be a trip report?
Maybe as a bonus episode or something.
Speaker 3: We'll figure out how we're doing that exactly. Maybe we'll
just do that. We'll do like halfway through the other one.
There's a part of me that's worried to look at
so I need to look at the support emails for
the store.
Speaker 2: While I was gone.
Speaker 4: That was like the one thing I had to do.
Speaker 3: I was like, Oh, the store is still going to
