It's okay. Uh. This is 397 00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:22.680 a mobile game made by Half Brick Studios, and the 398 00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:27.200 folks remember half Brick fantastic pedigree. Kind of like when 399 00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:29.920 I think of mobile game studios, they're one of the 400 00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:32.160 top ones outside of like Robo because of like the 401 00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:35.359 like the sense they make real mobile games. 402 00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:38.240 That made one of the good mobile games. 403 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:43.000 Huge they made like Fruit Ninja and jet Pack joy Ride, 404 00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:49.279 and I played about jet earlier. Yes, yes, yes, uh. Also, 405 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:52.279 what a fantastic name for a studio half bricked and 406 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.039 let me tell you, I'm bricked up for Blue's quest 407 00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:55.960 for the Golden Part. 408 00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:57.440 The name I can't say that. 409 00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:03.039 Gosh, now imagine yeah please. You had an isometric not 410 00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:07.279 quite Diablo, but a little puzzle game featuring Blue and 411 00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.119 Bluey's sister Bingo. But in this game, Bingo. This is 412 00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:13.200 why I was just laughing to myself for two minutes. 413 00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:17.880 Bingo is now a goose in Bluey's imaginary world. But 414 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:23.240 Bingo is bing goose tingas cool bing goose. That bingis 415 00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:25.200 all right, Jan, I'm so sorry. 416 00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:27.160 We do have breaking news coming from the chat from 417 00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:30.200 a Manati and a Monadi. In the chat is saying, 418 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:32.839 I'm catching up in regard to not watching Penny. My 419 00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:35.759 family has done it multiple times, and each time the 420 00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:37.599 first thing she does is take a dump in the 421 00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:40.079 middle of the kitchen. Also, I have two bigger dogs 422 00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:43.000 and it gets interesting with all of them. Look, she's nervous. 423 00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:46.480 And this is similar to the Blue dynamic in many ways. 424 00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:50.319 Yes, yes, there's a lot of dogs in Bluey. But 425 00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:56.359 I actually think this could be a very approachable game 426 00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:58.720 for the youth to check out grub. I think the 427 00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:02.319 gimmicks would actually enjoy it. It is very light in 428 00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:05.519 terms of the puzzle nature of it. It is an 429 00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:09.799 isometric style. It kind of reminds me of gosh, what 430 00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:14.480 was it is escaping me? But it is in Bluey's 431 00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:18.079 imagination where she has drawn Blue and Bingo and then 432 00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:22.119 her father is the bad guy in this. Yes, we 433 00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:26.839 enter Blue's mind palace here and there's various things where 434 00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:29.759 you will use a wand to move platforms around and 435 00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:32.200 collect candy and give the candy to your mom Chili. 436 00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:37.519 On top of that, you there's kind of like no 437 00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:46.319 combat per se. It is very uh, non confrontational, much 438 00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:48.640 like the show, and the neat thing is all of 439 00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:51.400 the voice talent has returned for the show as well. 440 00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:55.240 From my memory, I think the creator of Blue actually 441 00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:58.319 also has a hand in writing this game. So if 442 00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:01.160 you have a little gimmicks out there where that also 443 00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:03.119 got that gamer dog in them and you want to 444 00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:06.000 start introducing them into games, I think this is a 445 00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:11.200 fantastic first go around. There's about nine levels. It is 446 00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:14.119 like free to start, and then I believe there's either 447 00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:17.160 a one time fee to check out the to unlock 448 00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:19.400 the full game, or you can just pay per level. 449 00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:25.279 I'm about like maybe thirty forty minutes into it, and 450 00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:27.839 it is just it is just like watching the show 451 00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:31.440 where it is just like pleasant you can because I 452 00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:34.720 feel like the show Bluey appeals to all ages where 453 00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:36.759 there it is doing the most swatch show in the 454 00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:39.960 world right now, yeah, exactly where the writing in it 455 00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:44.839 is approachable enough where you can just have you feel 456 00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:47.599 safe having your kids watch it, but also if you 457 00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:49.480 are an adult, you're a parent watching it as well. 458 00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:51.599 It is something where it's like, oh okay, like I 459 00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:53.920 could see you'll all trying to actually teach kids here, 460 00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:58.039 and it is fun getting seeing that same lens of 461 00:22:58.119 --> 00:23:01.920 Bluey being applied to video games where kids may actually 462 00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:04.559 be like, oh okay, this is what I got to 463 00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:08.440 do over here. Half Brick Studios, sorry for breaking the 464 00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:11.240 embargo and Bluey's quest for the Golden Pen. We're trying 465 00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:14.759 to get the Golden pen, so being Goose can lay 466 00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:19.759 eggs of course, and Bandit is living up to his 467 00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:25.160 name because he stole the Golden Pen. Any of you 468 00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:26.720 guys actually watched any Blue. 469 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:30.799 Yeah sure, when Manati was falling asleep in the back 470 00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:32.000 of your car watching. 471 00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:35.839 To be clear, you had it on because the kids 472 00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:36.279 watch it. 473 00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:39.640 I did it like request La, you requested it. 474 00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:43.400 On the way, but you are feeling not so good 475 00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:44.160 in your Tom Tom. 476 00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:45.559 Yeah.

It's it has 482 00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:03.160 deep emotional intelligence. Like it's a show that truly like 483 00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:06.759 respects all its characters and and respects the idea of 484 00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:09.519 kids having autonomy but also needing to. 485 00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:12.319 Have appropriate adults like. 486 00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:15.599 Modeling behavior and then recognizing that it's difficult to model 487 00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:18.880 that behavior because parents also are frustrated and traumatized and 488 00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:20.599 have a million and like they touch on all these 489 00:24:20.599 --> 00:24:23.599 things in a really mature way. It's so good that 490 00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:27.000 like my daughter hates dogs, like she just hates dogs. 491 00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:30.720 I like the way she got introduced to Blue was 492 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:34.279 a YouTube video where they do the intro music of 493 00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:37.839 that mom Dad, but every single time it was Brian 494 00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:40.440 painted Blue, and he was getting hit by a car 495 00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:43.240 over and over again, and they thought it was hilarious. Wow, 496 00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:46.200 but Blue is so good that then she gave it 497 00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:48.960 a chance after that, and she it's the one dog 498 00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:51.400 that she likes is Blue, so she got over her 499 00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:55.480 hatred of dogs for this show.

Yes, really, yeah, 611 00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:06.119 I think it's did. 612 00:30:05.960 --> 00:30:06.359 You give it? 613 00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:07.720 I give it a five? 614 00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:08.839 Oh right? 615 00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:12.400 I'm like fascinated to hear this because, like, I loved 616 00:30:12.440 --> 00:30:14.559 it so much per release, and I saw the reviews 617 00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:16.519 and I haven't really read them everything, so I just 618 00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:17.960 know that they're all over the map, So like, I 619 00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:21.079 genuinely want to hear like why people aren't so real? 620 00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:21.359 Quick? 621 00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:24.880 Let me give it some good things. The game looks amazing. Absolutely, 622 00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:28.519 it plays amazing. It feels incredible to play, to control, 623 00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:32.640 to move around, to explore, to do things in the game. 624 00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:36.680 Riding the motorcycle feels great. Actually, anytime you swap between 625 00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:39.119 being Sami suit of the Morphball on getting on the 626 00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:43.319 motorcycle snappy, incredible, using all the powers the Psychic spider 627 00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:46.319 Ball or whatever feels great. 628 00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:47.319 The game has. 629 00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:50.119 Deep structural issues that I think, you know, a lot 630 00:30:50.119 --> 00:30:51.960 of the reviews I think would be like this game 631 00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:54.039 feels like other games stitch together. I want to say 632 00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:56.880 exactly what I feel like happened here. I don't know, 633 00:30:57.160 --> 00:30:58.640 but here's what I feel like happened here. 634 00:30:58.640 --> 00:31:01.160 Oh oh is this like this is like this isn't 635 00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:03.200 To be clear, this is not conspiracy theory. 636 00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:08.079 This is well informed speculation. It's just I can't I 637 00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:10.799 have no insight into what happened. I just feel like 638 00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:13.839 when I the circumstantial evidence of this game laid before me, 639 00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:17.119 they were like, oh God, we have to do for 640 00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:20.000 Metroid what happened for Breath of the Wild. So we 641 00:31:20.119 --> 00:31:23.079 are going to kind of restructure Metroid in the same 642 00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:26.720 way that Zelda got restructured, which is, let's take the 643 00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:29.440 core thing that happens in Zelda. You are confronted with 644 00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:31.680 a problem and you have a tool to solve it, 645 00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:33.559 but let's make it bigger and work in an open 646 00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:35.880 world sense. So you have a core set of tools 647 00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:38.039 and you can apply those to all these problems in 648 00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:39.799 the open world, and they kind of happen a little 649 00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:42.079 bit more organically, and it's kind of a magic thing 650 00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:44.160 that happened there. They really pulled it off here. I 651 00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:45.880 think what happened is they're like, we can maybe do 652 00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:48.079 the same thing with Metroid. They didn't get over the 653 00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:50.920 hump something. They're like, somewhere along the line they realized 654 00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:54.000 we can't actually make that game. We need to scale back, 655 00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:56.759 take the parts we have slap them together in a 656 00:31:56.799 --> 00:31:59.079 way that it's like kind of feels like, what's the 657 00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:00.759 closest thing we can get here to a good game? 658 00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:03.319 And that is like Ockerina of time. So I have 659 00:32:03.319 --> 00:32:06.000 these dungeons, they have this area that connects them, and 660 00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:10.720 for the game that they're making, it's like, okay, it's okay, 661 00:32:11.119 --> 00:32:14.119 But so frequently I'm like, what what is the purpose 662 00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:18.359 of me not having a lot of Metroid style exploration 663 00:32:18.480 --> 00:32:21.920 happening in in any of these other specific like siloed areas. 664 00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:24.559 And really all that is is maybe I get a 665 00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:27.960 tool later that acts as a key where I'm like, Okay, 666 00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:29.559 I got it in this one area, Now I get 667 00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:31.640 to go back to this previous area use it in 668 00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:34.039 the one door that I couldn't open before. 669 00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:35.839 And I'm just not moved by that. 670 00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:39.640 It's a game that the more I play, the less 671 00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:40.599 I'm liking it. 672 00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:42.960 But do you feel that, like so it is different 673 00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:44.799 in that like, oh, you get a thing over here 674 00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:46.880 in this kind of like zone, and you do need 675 00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:48.559 to bring it back over here, and instead of kind 676 00:32:48.599 --> 00:32:51.599 of like backtracking through just corridors and things to get 677 00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:54.000 to an elevator that'll take you to that other zone 678 00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:56.480 you are taking the motorcycle across the desert and stuff like. 679 00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:58.240 Do you not feel like it's somewhat like that? 680 00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:01.200 I think I think that was a find solution for 681 00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:04.200 what they ended up with here, But I just I 682 00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:08.039 don't think that's like amazing or anything. 683 00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:10.119 No, I'm not. I wasn't like blown away. 684 00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:11.799 Like every time I get to do that, it's like, okay, 685 00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:14.359 kind of back to this as opposed to And I'm 686 00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:16.599 trying not to do the direct comparison to previous metter 687 00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:18.359 of prime games because this ended up just being a 688 00:33:18.440 --> 00:33:20.720 very different thing, and I don't know how useful it 689 00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:22.839 is to be like, it wasn't what I wanted. It's 690 00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:25.880 not what I wanted, but for what it is, even 691 00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:28.759 on that level, I think they kind of only just 692 00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:32.880 scraped by being acceptable and into something that is kind 693 00:33:32.920 --> 00:33:33.759 of okay and good. 694 00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:37.960 Okay, I think with me it's and I don't think 695 00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:40.000 I dislike it maybe as much as Jeff And I'm 696 00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:42.359 on the final Boss just to like okay, and I'm 697 00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:45.359 halfway through the ice area, so I'm not nearly as 698 00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:51.200 far as Jeffy. Yeah, I'm like halfway ish. The thing 699 00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:53.240 that's like sticking out to me the most as the 700 00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:56.759 problem with the game. You know, yeah again McKenzie. Look, 701 00:33:56.799 --> 00:33:58.640 I don't think he's some big problem When he says 702 00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:01.839 things like boo yacht. It is a detriment to my enjoyment. 703 00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:05.079 I could get over it. I get over it. 704 00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:07.200 But it's like who who the hell signed off on 705 00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:09.519 having a character say boo yah in a metroy game. 706 00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:12.920 But yeah, like the kind of dungeon aspect of these things, 707 00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:15.280 it'd be one thing if the dungeons even felt a 708 00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:17.639 little bit more like a Zelda dungeon in terms of 709 00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:20.639 I think the way to put it is every room 710 00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:23.119 I'm in feels like it has two doors, the way 711 00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:24.800 I came in and the way I'm supposed to go. 712 00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:25.920 And that got a little. 713 00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:29.159 Bit better even this ice area. But Voldforge, especially, which 714 00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:32.400 was this really cool looking area, it was very much 715 00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:34.280 just like this room to this room, to that room, 716 00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:35.880 to that room, to this room to that room and 717 00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:37.760 then back the way I came And like a lot 718 00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:40.280 of these rooms were even like combat encounters and not 719 00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:43.519 necessarily puzzles. I wasn't noticing a lot of like okay, 720 00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:45.400 this is like, oh, there's a missile expitch in here 721 00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:47.719 and I'll get I'll come back here with this power 722 00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:50.320 a little bit of that. But compared to you know, 723 00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:53.079 Metroy Prime wone even Prime two, which I played recently, 724 00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:57.199 and how many rooms felt like kind of like you know, 725 00:34:57.320 --> 00:34:59.719 spoken wheel, Like, oh man, there's like four different eggs 726 00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:02.039 that's in this room connects back to this room, goes 727 00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:04.559 to this area, and there's like three things here in 728 00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:08.199 this like one area that I can't access yet right now, 729 00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:11.599 you know. And I think having the levels connects better 730 00:35:11.639 --> 00:35:13.840 with each other, like in a Prime one or Prime two. 731 00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:16.079 I do think that just works better for this kind 732 00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:20.519 of game than having this large kind of motorcycle area, 733 00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:23.760 which I like being on the motorcycle. I don't necessarily 734 00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:26.880 think that siphoning off these areas into their own little 735 00:35:26.920 --> 00:35:31.440 microcosms did anything positive for the formula. 736 00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:33.199 They would be better, They would be better if they 737 00:35:33.239 --> 00:35:37.159 were interlocked and sort of overlapping, but like, that's not 738 00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:40.400 the game they made. So even in the areas themselves though, 739 00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:44.000 there's not a lot of that, like just intra level, 740 00:35:44.159 --> 00:35:46.159 there's not a lot of examples of being like all right, 741 00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:48.079 I'm kind of poking around and coming up. 742 00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:49.920 With ideas about what I can do over here. 743 00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:51.519 And that's like, if you want to know what you're 744 00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:53.880 supposed to be doing with any sort of obstacle, scan 745 00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:55.760 it and it's basically just going to tell you. And 746 00:35:55.800 --> 00:35:58.079 I know there's some of that in the previous games, 747 00:35:58.159 --> 00:36:00.480 but it feels like here, it's like that as line 748 00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:03.400 of dialogue or text in the box. When you scan it, 749 00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:04.920 it's just going to tell you the weapon you need 750 00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:07.119 to do, need to go, get to do this, so 751 00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:09.840 you kind of stop coming up with ideas and stuff 752 00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:12.000 like that. I mean, that's been my experience. And then 753 00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:16.480 and then like really the scanning was also kind of disappointed, 754 00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:18.199 where it's like I want to be able to scan 755 00:36:18.280 --> 00:36:20.960 these bosses and feel like, okay, because I scan the boss, 756 00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:24.039 now a new week point has been exposed to me. 757 00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:25.840 But it's like, no, now it's the same thing. 758 00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:27.960 I just write some stuff, some details about it, and 759 00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:30.480 it's these giant glowing orbs on the bosses that you're 760 00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:32.519 supposed to hit that are obvious from the beginning of 761 00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:35.400 the fight. It's just I don't know, it feels very 762 00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:36.519 bandaged together. 763 00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:38.679 I mean, I feel like the scanning was you're right 764 00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:40.719 with a lot of them, like it doesn't like expose 765 00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:42.639 like oh, here's the hint to beating or whatever, but 766 00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:44.280 like that is there at times where it's like there's 767 00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:46.000 that one late in the game that is like a 768 00:36:46.039 --> 00:36:48.320 spider type thing that's like scrambling around on the walls 769 00:36:48.719 --> 00:36:50.480 and I didn't realize and it's like, oh, how do 770 00:36:50.480 --> 00:36:51.960 I get them off the walls? And then scanning it 771 00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:54.280 and it's like, oh, it said something about its limbs, 772 00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:56.159 and I was like, oh, okay, great, I can break off 773 00:36:56.159 --> 00:36:58.159 the radical and I shoot them to knock it down. 774 00:36:58.199 --> 00:36:59.639 Definitely some examples like it. 775 00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:03.079 Also the scanning things that telling you specifically what to 776 00:37:03.239 --> 00:37:05.400 use that that is another metro games they just use 777 00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:08.280 a proper noun like they will always use like bendium 778 00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:11.079 Oh this is made up bend doum, bendyam or right right, 779 00:37:11.199 --> 00:37:14.000 and it's like that power bomb proper noun. So it's 780 00:37:14.039 --> 00:37:15.639 the same thing just presented differently. 781 00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:18.880 Yeah, right, I guess maybe I like that layer of obscurity, 782 00:37:18.880 --> 00:37:20.360 but that's not the problem. 783 00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:22.679 With the game for sure, Okay, Sean, I I can feel, oh, 784 00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:26.719 backler police, and then yeah, I kind of agree. 785 00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:29.000 I'm probably in the middle of like grub and Jeff 786 00:37:29.239 --> 00:37:31.880 Grubb and Michael a little. But it's just it's just 787 00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:34.960 a little like uninspired, and I guess sort of a 788 00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:38.559 surprising way that, you know, I really enjoyed that hour 789 00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:43.079 playthrough at the preview, and look, I'm having fun playing 790 00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:48.159 this game. I just think I think it's surprisingly uh 791 00:37:48.199 --> 00:37:52.679 more linear than I was expecting as well, you know, 792 00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:56.039 just going off piggybacking on what you're saying there, Grub, 793 00:37:56.119 --> 00:37:56.920 I think. 794 00:37:57.880 --> 00:38:04.079 It's just it is it boring. It's boring. It's kind 795 00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:04.519 of boring. 796 00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:07.079 I haven't been blazing through it like I thought I would. 797 00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:09.960 I don't know if i'd say it's boring, but I 798 00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:12.639 got like jumping back in like I thought I would. 799 00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:14.960 Like, I have a feeling where I'm like, oh, I 800 00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:16.840 want to keep I want to see this through. And 801 00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:19.639 I do think places like Voltforge are like super cool, 802 00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:25.519 like really striking areas, just a bit kind of maybe 803 00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:28.960 like a little empty and sort of yeah, it just 804 00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:31.280 feels like there's stuff missing. 805 00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:34.119 Again, like the like her abilities are also like doled 806 00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:35.960 out in a very predictable way. 807 00:38:36.119 --> 00:38:36.679 They don't like. 808 00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:38.559 That's another thing that makes me feel like this was 809 00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:40.199 a very different game at one point they sort of 810 00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:42.039 had to scale back to just the core things that 811 00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:45.239 wouldn't break things too much. But yeah, she she, you know, 812 00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:48.039 she gets her double jump early on, she gets psychic. 813 00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:48.360 Could jump. 814 00:38:50.519 --> 00:38:53.559 Gestures are right, Jeff, but like something more with like 815 00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:57.519 all this psychic stuff, which doesn't really present itself in 816 00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:01.079 any meaningful gameplay changes. The most interesting is very early 817 00:39:01.119 --> 00:39:02.880 on that chart shot that you can kind of move. 818 00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:05.639 Around inside and I like that. That's really neat, like 819 00:39:05.679 --> 00:39:07.000 ten times in the game, right, But. 820 00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:09.039 I haven't, like, outside of that, I haven't really gotten 821 00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:10.960 anything else here that feels kind of new. 822 00:39:11.559 --> 00:39:12.199 There's not a lot. 823 00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:14.800 I mean, there's a superating scan and the platforms reveal 824 00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:17.199 themselves and everything, but that's nothing crazy like as far 825 00:39:17.239 --> 00:39:20.960 as like the boring thing, Like I'm so quick to 826 00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:23.000 be bored if a game isn't doing something to grab me. 827 00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:26.079 And like, granted, I'm in that nebulous kind of review, 828 00:39:26.199 --> 00:39:28.639 you know, playing through it quickly, the f embargo type 829 00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:31.639 thing that kind of throws everything askew at times, but 830 00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:34.880 I played that game for like fourteen hours one Saturday, 831 00:39:34.960 --> 00:39:38.079 and it's like I did not get remotely bored. But 832 00:39:38.280 --> 00:39:38.920 maybe that's just me. 833 00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:39.960 I I think the. 834 00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:42.599 Moment, the moment of pressing the buttons is fantastic. 835 00:39:42.679 --> 00:39:43.840 Yeah, it's like and it. 836 00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:46.440 You know, right, and me too. And so it's like 837 00:39:46.760 --> 00:39:48.480 at the end of the day, I'm like, there's still 838 00:39:48.519 --> 00:39:50.920 a lot of this game I like. I will say, like, 839 00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:53.719 thinking back to the reviews of like the high highs 840 00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:56.360 and low lows, I don't feel like I saw many 841 00:39:56.440 --> 00:39:57.039 high highs. 842 00:39:57.119 --> 00:39:57.880 Like. I just don't. 843 00:39:57.960 --> 00:40:00.440 I was like, not ever in a situation where I 844 00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:04.119 got a new ability and had that Metroid Venue feeling 845 00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:06.760 of like, oh my god, the world is so open. 846 00:40:06.800 --> 00:40:09.920 Instead it was here is a laundry list of doors 847 00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:12.000 that I can now unlock. And I know that's a 848 00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:15.199 subtle distinction, but it is a distinction with a difference. 849 00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:18.800 The greatest, the great Metroid games, the great Metroid Vinga 850 00:40:18.840 --> 00:40:21.559 games find a way to just propel you forward when 851 00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:24.119 you have a new thing that can really unlock your 852 00:40:24.159 --> 00:40:26.880 ability set. And the world in this game wasn't doing 853 00:40:26.920 --> 00:40:27.280 that for me. 854 00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:29.639 There's no one like you know, you get the Psychic 855 00:40:29.719 --> 00:40:31.840 boost ball, and you know there's the part in volt 856 00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:33.440 Forge where you go down it's like, Okay, well what 857 00:40:33.480 --> 00:40:34.679 can I do here? And it's like Oh my god. 858 00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:37.440 It makes like this spirit track basically that I can go, yeah, 859 00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:39.719 one tower to another like that was unexpected in a way. 860 00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:42.360 But yeah, there's not a ton of like whoa, this 861 00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:43.760 is totally a new feeling, you know. 862 00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:45.960 The flinging with the ball was actually that was a 863 00:40:46.519 --> 00:40:49.320 top tier. That's fine. Actually, yeah, Now, Sean, I think 864 00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:52.239 you may be the biggest Metroid fan. And I'm going 865 00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:54.559 to assume that based off of your purchases from the 866 00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:56.519 Nintendo store there in New York. 867 00:40:56.559 --> 00:40:59.880 What do you mean, I just bought that whole thing, 868 00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:01.159 one of every things. 869 00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:04.440 I don't think I realized until I watched the vlog. 870 00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:07.559 I was like, oh damn, yeah yeah, and then I'm 871 00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:09.639 piecing it together based off of all the other t's 872 00:41:09.639 --> 00:41:11.639 I've seen Sean wear on podcasts of like. 873 00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:15.000 Every Metroid to Mibo and every collector's edition is off 874 00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:16.679 of camera the area. 875 00:41:17.239 --> 00:41:19.840 So I'm very curious to hear your perspective. 876 00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:21.519 Yeah, I'm throwing my head into the ring here. I 877 00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:24.719 do think I'm the biggest Metroid series fan here at 878 00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:27.199 the site. Like Grub and Mic are definitely bigger fans 879 00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:30.000 of Super I know y'all have a huge love of 880 00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:34.440 Metro Prime one. But I love all of what Metrod is, 881 00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:37.480 the ups and the downs, because we've we've been through 882 00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:40.239 a few downs at this point, and so I know 883 00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:43.840 that Metroy comes in a few different flavors. There is 884 00:41:44.199 --> 00:41:46.840 the original two D Metroid, and then they moved into 885 00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:50.079 a slightly different flavor of two D Metrod. There's Prime one, 886 00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:52.199 which Prime two is kind of like, and then three 887 00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:54.639 went off in different direction as as hunters and like, 888 00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:57.400 even if you don't think it's good, other m is 889 00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:00.800 another flavor. We have all these different types of Metroid, 890 00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:03.599 So I know that Metroid is not one thing. Metroid 891 00:42:03.679 --> 00:42:07.760 is not just isolationists, it's not just exploration. It can 892 00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:11.159 be a few different things. That's why I implored people 893 00:42:11.559 --> 00:42:15.360 to check out METROI Prime three in some way before 894 00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:19.239 checking this game out, because this project, you know, started 895 00:42:19.239 --> 00:42:22.719 as one thing, and then Nintendo took it back and 896 00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:26.000 gave it to Retro, and there was no way that 897 00:42:26.199 --> 00:42:29.559 Retro was going to just ditch everything that they did 898 00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:33.280 before and not follow up Prime three with Prime four. 899 00:42:33.320 --> 00:42:36.280 And that's what Prime four is. It's a variation on 900 00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:39.199 the Prime formula that they had developed, and that in 901 00:42:39.239 --> 00:42:42.000 itself is a variation on the original Metro formula. They 902 00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:44.039 are not the same thing, they are different, And so 903 00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:47.079 I went to this game very open minded, thinking it's 904 00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:48.519 going to be a little different. And we can even 905 00:42:48.559 --> 00:42:51.119 see that from the preview coverage, from all the reviews 906 00:42:51.119 --> 00:42:52.960 that came out. This is going to be a slightly 907 00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:55.400 different flavor of Metroid as we've had a few times 908 00:42:55.440 --> 00:42:58.000 at this point. So I tried to come to the 909 00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:00.440 game on its own terms. It's going to be different 910 00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:02.480 than some people are expecting, but it's me what I 911 00:43:02.559 --> 00:43:05.280 was expecting, and so I'm gonna judge it on what 912 00:43:05.320 --> 00:43:08.599 it is, not what other people expected to be or 913 00:43:08.679 --> 00:43:14.440 even my own expectations after eighteen years. So what is there? 914 00:43:14.519 --> 00:43:17.119 Do I think it's good? I will say in large 915 00:43:17.159 --> 00:43:20.679 part I agree with Dan's review, just like a notch down. 916 00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:23.119 I was like a little less interesting, a little less 917 00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:25.559 excited than him. Like he said, he was hovering between 918 00:43:25.559 --> 00:43:27.599 like four and a half five stars while playing it, 919 00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:29.719 and I was hovering between like four and four and 920 00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:32.159 a half. I think this is a very very good game, 921 00:43:32.480 --> 00:43:35.760 but I do think that I dislike some of Low's 922 00:43:35.800 --> 00:43:37.320 more than Dan did, so I do fall on the 923 00:43:37.320 --> 00:43:39.639 lower side. I would probably give this game four stars 924 00:43:39.639 --> 00:43:42.280 if I was playing a review on because I do 925 00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:45.199 think it is a little more linear Metro. Prime is linear. 926 00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:48.400 If you actually look at the maps, they're not as 927 00:43:48.440 --> 00:43:51.320 interconnected as two D Metro. It is because it's very 928 00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:54.320 hard to interweave three D spaces like that, and once 929 00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:57.639 they start to move towards separate planets and everything like 930 00:43:57.679 --> 00:44:00.000 you have in Prime three, things did get a little 931 00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:03.000 You enter one room, you have three options. One is 932 00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:05.239 probably a save room, and then there's two branching paths. 933 00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:07.679 One is probably a missile upgrade. That's kind of the 934 00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:11.599 formula here. That's what it turned into because Prime one 935 00:44:11.639 --> 00:44:14.039 is a different game. Prime one followed up Super Metroid, 936 00:44:14.079 --> 00:44:17.320 so it is more exploration driven, and this is following 937 00:44:17.400 --> 00:44:20.440 up Prime three, which is more cinematic and everything. And 938 00:44:20.480 --> 00:44:23.480 I think what's there is very good. There are incredible moments, 939 00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:26.440 like you know, guys brought volt Forge and frankly entering 940 00:44:26.519 --> 00:44:29.960 volt Forge, the killer instinct theme is blairing at you 941 00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:33.079 and just you see some awesome visuals and you get 942 00:44:33.159 --> 00:44:36.639 Viola and it's a really cool moment. Even something as 943 00:44:36.679 --> 00:44:40.320 like different for Metroid as like doing sort of like 944 00:44:41.360 --> 00:44:45.280 time trials on a bike. It's cool because guess what, 945 00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:49.719 Sam's Aaron is a bounty hunter. She's the single coolest 946 00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:52.039 person in the galaxy. That gave her the coolest method 947 00:44:52.079 --> 00:44:55.519 of transportation, and it's awesome. There's moments in there that 948 00:44:55.559 --> 00:45:00.119 are very, very good, and I think about things like 949 00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:03.159 with the rest of the Federation troopers. I think about 950 00:45:03.199 --> 00:45:06.199 how there are moments where they geek out over Sam's 951 00:45:06.239 --> 00:45:08.800 because yeah, you're just some grunt in the military and 952 00:45:08.840 --> 00:45:12.800 the literal coolest person in existence shows up, I'll pure 953 00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:15.519 chance to help you. Why have they not done a 954 00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:17.840 gag like that where someone geeks out like I love Armstrong. 955 00:45:17.920 --> 00:45:20.599 I love the fact that she's like, hey, sorry, she's 956 00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:23.440 doing more fall. He's like, I see it, calmed down 957 00:45:23.679 --> 00:45:25.920 the trooper, like, you know, there's cute moments like that 958 00:45:25.960 --> 00:45:27.679 where I actually like kind of laughed a little because 959 00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:31.039 as a metroid nerd, I'm like, oh, she's me. I'm like, 960 00:45:31.119 --> 00:45:34.519 Sam's doing more fall, y'all see that. I think there's 961 00:45:34.519 --> 00:45:36.039 a lot of cool moments in there. I think the 962 00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:39.280 Troopers are good. I think the highs, all the set 963 00:45:39.320 --> 00:45:42.239 pieces that are in there are very good. But I 964 00:45:42.280 --> 00:45:45.920 think about I played I played Dispatch now twice recently. 965 00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:49.679 I do you think about Robert's speech and that about potential, 966 00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:51.840 and that was going through my mind as I was 967 00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:55.559 playing Metro Prime for whereas thinking about how potential is 968 00:45:55.559 --> 00:45:57.400 the thing people talk about when you leave the room 969 00:45:57.440 --> 00:46:00.840 and they say you had so much potential, And that's 970 00:46:00.840 --> 00:46:03.920 how I think of METROI Prime four. I think this 971 00:46:04.039 --> 00:46:07.320 could have been more. They had more here, They just 972 00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:09.519 really needed to dial things in more. I think it 973 00:46:09.599 --> 00:46:13.800 falls a little short, like like the desert. Desert's pretty boring. 974 00:46:14.480 --> 00:46:16.599 I'll be real, like it was fine for most of 975 00:46:16.679 --> 00:46:18.679 the game, and then they do something at the end 976 00:46:18.719 --> 00:46:20.199 of the game where you need to spend a lot 977 00:46:20.199 --> 00:46:23.519 of time out there to finish the game, and that's. 978 00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:25.760 Im boring, to be clear, because I heard that and 979 00:46:25.800 --> 00:46:27.599 I was like, yeah, but like a lot of these 980 00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:29.000 games have a hunt at the end of the game 981 00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:31.039 where you use all your abilities and stuff like that. 982 00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:33.599 That's like, that's not this. 983 00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:36.159 If we're talking the green Crystal thing, It's like, I 984 00:46:36.199 --> 00:46:38.480 don't know if I just haven't on that because I 985 00:46:38.559 --> 00:46:41.000 made a point early on to just like I am 986 00:46:41.079 --> 00:46:43.880 just in between everything. I was spending a good amount 987 00:46:43.880 --> 00:46:46.719 of time cruising around whatever shrines I could unlock, you know, 988 00:46:46.719 --> 00:46:48.519 getting as many green crystals as I could. So, like, 989 00:46:48.760 --> 00:46:50.679 I totally see if it was like a wind Waker 990 00:46:50.800 --> 00:46:52.719 esque thing at the end where it's like, now you 991 00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:54.840 got to do a bunch of horseshit for like four hours, 992 00:46:54.920 --> 00:46:56.320 I probably would have been pissed off. But I think 993 00:46:56.360 --> 00:46:59.880 I spot about that, Dan, So the thing, I think 994 00:46:59.880 --> 00:47:01.239 I just have a good spot by the end. 995 00:47:01.360 --> 00:47:01.559 Yeah. 996 00:47:01.599 --> 00:47:03.360 The thing is you're talking about the other thing you 997 00:47:03.400 --> 00:47:04.639 have to get. 998 00:47:04.360 --> 00:47:05.800 Well, okay for me? 999 00:47:05.880 --> 00:47:07.639 Yeah, so that's that doesn't take too long. 1000 00:47:07.639 --> 00:47:08.599 Now, this is interesting. 1001 00:47:09.039 --> 00:47:10.599 Wait and a quicker and I thought, reroque, I don't 1002 00:47:10.639 --> 00:47:11.639 let you get back to shot and I just want 1003 00:47:11.679 --> 00:47:12.800 to say what happened to me. I also did the 1004 00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:14.760 same thing, get all the green crystals all along the way, 1005 00:47:14.840 --> 00:47:17.679 and that definitely softened the blow. That's also not the 1006 00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:18.840 core of my problems with this game. 1007 00:47:18.880 --> 00:47:20.920 Yeah, yeah, I'll yeah, I'm finishing my thoughts here because 1008 00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:22.559 I know I've been going on a bit long. No, 1009 00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:25.719 please go the mcguffin that you need to finish the game. 1010 00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:27.840 It's in. It's in all the preview and review footage. 1011 00:47:27.840 --> 00:47:30.880 So I'll mention the memory fruit that's what you get 1012 00:47:31.159 --> 00:47:34.199 by getting all the green crystals. There's a problem, Like 1013 00:47:34.239 --> 00:47:36.920 grub was saying, there's structural problems with this game, that's 1014 00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:39.039 one of them, where like if you're going through the 1015 00:47:39.079 --> 00:47:41.679 desert and everything, you're getting the green crystals as you 1016 00:47:41.679 --> 00:47:43.760 go from place to place. Actually think that's really fun. 1017 00:47:43.800 --> 00:47:47.079 I like riding around viola power sliding into crystals and stuff, 1018 00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:50.119 and the attacking enemies. It's pretty cool. But the problem 1019 00:47:50.280 --> 00:47:53.079 is the game forcing me to do something that is 1020 00:47:53.159 --> 00:47:56.480 extremely arbitrary because you need to gather x amount of 1021 00:47:56.519 --> 00:47:59.800 green crystals in order to finish the game. And that's 1022 00:47:59.800 --> 00:48:02.159 what those things that like drop the game down for 1023 00:48:02.280 --> 00:48:06.280 me is because that like, yes, this is not metro 1024 00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:09.119 it's metro Prime, but even that is not metro Prime 1025 00:48:09.239 --> 00:48:11.719 in any of its forms. The artifact hunt is you 1026 00:48:11.840 --> 00:48:16.239 going back through various other places, using your new abilities, 1027 00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:17.960 solving new puzzles. 1028 00:48:17.639 --> 00:48:20.119 Getting yeah yeah stuff. 1029 00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:22.519 That is how they adapted the two D metro formula 1030 00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:25.280 into three D and it went very well. The problem 1031 00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:28.159 here is just they're like gather x amount and it's 1032 00:48:28.159 --> 00:48:31.519 even structured backwards where the last reward you get. I 1033 00:48:31.559 --> 00:48:33.599 don't mind saying this because the last rewards you get 1034 00:48:33.880 --> 00:48:36.719 is a radar that makes gathering them easier. Why was 1035 00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:40.599 that not the first thing you get? So the game 1036 00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:44.400 has issues. I see it as like the Metroid Fusion 1037 00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:48.679 of Metroid Prime, where it is they're doing some incredible 1038 00:48:48.880 --> 00:48:51.840 things here, there's some awesome ideas. It just has some 1039 00:48:51.920 --> 00:48:54.719 flaws that hold it back for me, keep it down 1040 00:48:54.760 --> 00:48:58.159 a little bit. But you know, this is also the 1041 00:48:58.199 --> 00:49:01.360 fourth game in a series, just Fusion was, and with 1042 00:49:01.440 --> 00:49:05.559 five with two D Metroid, that's where they'd really dialed 1043 00:49:05.559 --> 00:49:09.079 things in and arguably made the best one. I'm hoping that. 1044 00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:11.320 Look right now, I think we have like a great 1045 00:49:11.400 --> 00:49:14.119 game overall for what it is, but I hope that 1046 00:49:14.159 --> 00:49:17.360 the next one is just they learn everything that they 1047 00:49:17.360 --> 00:49:19.519 got wrong and could have done better, and the next 1048 00:49:19.559 --> 00:49:21.000 one is a much beer dame. 1049 00:49:21.800 --> 00:49:23.119 Yeah there's the next one. 1050 00:49:23.199 --> 00:49:25.400 I'm just kind of go back to like the Metro 1051 00:49:25.519 --> 00:49:27.639 Prime three things, like you know, like I played some 1052 00:49:27.840 --> 00:49:29.719 of three and I think I dropped it because I 1053 00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:32.760 kind of was like, I think most of the changes 1054 00:49:32.800 --> 00:49:34.800 here just make this worse than metrad Prime one. 1055 00:49:34.920 --> 00:49:36.440 So yeah, I get that. 1056 00:49:36.559 --> 00:49:38.880 Yeah, this is you know, the sequel to Metrad Prime 1057 00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:42.039 three chronologically, but I assumed after all this time there 1058 00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:43.960 would maybe be a bit of a we should be 1059 00:49:44.039 --> 00:49:47.519 making our games more like Metroid Prime one and less 1060 00:49:47.679 --> 00:49:51.440 like Metroid Prime three. Right, I guess you know that 1061 00:49:51.559 --> 00:49:53.320 was just an assumption going in on what I kind 1062 00:49:53.320 --> 00:49:57.199 of thought, you know, everybody would be excited about would 1063 00:49:57.239 --> 00:50:00.199 be soon or if not that find some other kind 1064 00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:00.679 of avenue. 1065 00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:01.840 Because I met your Prime three. 1066 00:50:01.920 --> 00:50:05.159 I did not like having separate planets because again it's 1067 00:50:05.280 --> 00:50:07.519 you know, each of these places feel more insular, and 1068 00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:09.400 we kind of have that with this sort of dungeon 1069 00:50:10.079 --> 00:50:12.760 uh set up this time around. 1070 00:50:14.199 --> 00:50:19.199 Yeah, right, Like it's having the cinematics, like, look, I 1071 00:50:19.239 --> 00:50:21.519 know some of this core audience, like our audience may 1072 00:50:21.559 --> 00:50:24.280 not want to admit this. PlayStation games sell for a reason. 1073 00:50:24.559 --> 00:50:27.079 The cinematic Last of Us Is and Horizons and stuff, 1074 00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:29.239 God of Wars they sell for a reason. People eat 1075 00:50:29.320 --> 00:50:32.960 that stuff up. And that's I assume in a boardroom 1076 00:50:33.320 --> 00:50:36.239 why they would have continued in that direction from Prime. 1077 00:50:36.079 --> 00:50:37.440 To They did a good job with it. Actually, the 1078 00:50:37.519 --> 00:50:41.079 character is great. I like the yeah, what's the what's 1079 00:50:41.119 --> 00:50:42.519 the name of the robot? View nine nine? 1080 00:50:44.239 --> 00:50:50.800 Yeah, Yeah, sorry, good stuff. I really think that Armstrong 1081 00:50:50.920 --> 00:50:51.880 is fantastic as well. 1082 00:50:51.960 --> 00:50:52.360 Exactly. 1083 00:50:52.519 --> 00:50:53.960 I liked all those characters by. 1084 00:50:53.880 --> 00:50:55.719 The end, was happy to have them with me, like 1085 00:50:55.760 --> 00:50:58.559 fighting alongside them. In a lot of cases. That stuff 1086 00:50:58.840 --> 00:51:04.199 well done. I think, yeah, it is. I I'm not a. 1087 00:51:04.159 --> 00:51:05.400 Dispassionate observer here. 1088 00:51:05.440 --> 00:51:06.840 When I go into a game like this that I'm 1089 00:51:06.840 --> 00:51:09.559 really looking for to Metro Prime one my number two 1090 00:51:09.639 --> 00:51:10.719 favorite game of all time. 1091 00:51:10.840 --> 00:51:11.440 I have a list. 1092 00:51:11.599 --> 00:51:13.199 I looked at it before I look the star playing 1093 00:51:13.239 --> 00:51:14.840 this game, like, yeah, there it is right next to 1094 00:51:14.880 --> 00:51:16.880 a right behind Breath of the Wild. When I go 1095 00:51:16.920 --> 00:51:18.800 into a game like this, it is very much like 1096 00:51:18.920 --> 00:51:21.800 I want to fanboy out. I want to find a 1097 00:51:21.800 --> 00:51:24.480 way to like this game. So halfway through I'm sort 1098 00:51:24.480 --> 00:51:28.239 of resetting expectations and I'm like letting go of of 1099 00:51:28.480 --> 00:51:30.599 wanting Metroid Prime and be like this is now, this 1100 00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:32.880 is clearly mostly a Zelda game. They're trying to make 1101 00:51:32.920 --> 00:51:34.000 it a little bit more like Zelda. 1102 00:51:34.039 --> 00:51:34.440 I think they. 1103 00:51:34.719 --> 00:51:36.519 However, they came to that, whatever, I don't care how 1104 00:51:36.519 --> 00:51:38.599 they came to that. That's what I'm playing now. And 1105 00:51:38.639 --> 00:51:41.400 I think even on those terms, for me, it was 1106 00:51:41.519 --> 00:51:45.320 it's like a okay, ish like Zelda spinoff. 1107 00:51:45.599 --> 00:51:48.119 I will just real quick, you know. You know, for 1108 00:51:48.199 --> 00:51:50.280 some people who are surprised you Bezelda, I got some 1109 00:51:50.320 --> 00:51:52.239 news for you all about how close Metro and Zelda 1110 00:51:52.280 --> 00:51:53.000 have always been. 1111 00:51:55.039 --> 00:51:55.679 I guarantee you. 1112 00:51:55.679 --> 00:51:57.199 Could go back and find a tweet for me in 1113 00:51:57.239 --> 00:52:00.440 like two thousand and nine being here, like and Zeld 1114 00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:01.480 are the same genre. 1115 00:52:01.800 --> 00:52:03.159 Like I've been saying that for years. 1116 00:52:03.519 --> 00:52:05.239 This is the game that made me realize there are 1117 00:52:05.280 --> 00:52:07.960 some important differences. Yet again, that's not what I'm judging 1118 00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:08.280 this on. 1119 00:52:08.360 --> 00:52:10.280 I don't. I am judging on what's there. 1120 00:52:10.920 --> 00:52:14.000 I by the end, what was like, I was not 1121 00:52:14.039 --> 00:52:15.800 having fun for a vast majority of that game. 1122 00:52:15.920 --> 00:52:18.840 I do think to the Zelda point, I agree, but 1123 00:52:18.920 --> 00:52:21.239 I think you see it as them trying to do 1124 00:52:21.400 --> 00:52:23.440 their version of Breath the Wild, and I saw it 1125 00:52:23.480 --> 00:52:24.239 as Akarina. 1126 00:52:24.440 --> 00:52:26.360 You know, No, I see that they failed at doing 1127 00:52:26.360 --> 00:52:29.079 Breath the Wild, so they sort of retreated to Akarina. 1128 00:52:29.119 --> 00:52:31.039 That's where That's what I think happened here. And again 1129 00:52:31.119 --> 00:52:34.239 that is not a judgment call. That is a me 1130 00:52:34.360 --> 00:52:36.280 trying to sort of be a detective here and figure 1131 00:52:36.280 --> 00:52:38.920 out what happened. That is also I'm judging it on 1132 00:52:38.960 --> 00:52:39.960 it being an Akarina game. 1133 00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:41.039 At this point, I. 1134 00:52:41.840 --> 00:52:43.360 Do want to talk a bit about what I really 1135 00:52:43.400 --> 00:52:45.559 like about this game, because I think there are some 1136 00:52:45.800 --> 00:52:47.760 highest for me, and a lot of them are aesthetic, 1137 00:52:47.800 --> 00:52:51.320 because the game is absolutely gorgeous and the music is 1138 00:52:51.760 --> 00:52:55.639 once again just all Timer stuff. The areas themselves are 1139 00:52:55.679 --> 00:53:00.039 really cool, Like you know, Voteforge looks awesome. That the 1140 00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:02.239 ice area. I love that they went with this kind 1141 00:53:02.239 --> 00:53:07.000 of the thing like underground ice cavern research facility as 1142 00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:10.599 opposed to the Fendrona drifts kind of more open. I think, 1143 00:53:10.639 --> 00:53:13.679 so you have a good differentiation there because of the 1144 00:53:13.719 --> 00:53:14.280 lower stuff. 1145 00:53:14.400 --> 00:53:16.039 Yeh, gorgeous, Yeah, it's yeah. 1146 00:53:16.239 --> 00:53:19.199 These the game is just gorgeous on a technical and 1147 00:53:19.880 --> 00:53:22.440 artistic level. Yeah, Like pushing the buttons and all that 1148 00:53:22.480 --> 00:53:23.360 stuff does. 1149 00:53:23.280 --> 00:53:24.000 Feel very good. 1150 00:53:24.000 --> 00:53:26.400 I even like the boss fights to think, you know, 1151 00:53:26.480 --> 00:53:28.320 something like playing Matrid Prime to recently, a lot of 1152 00:53:28.320 --> 00:53:31.119 those boss fights. It's a lot of like, all, right, game, 1153 00:53:31.119 --> 00:53:33.159 what do you want me to do here? Exactly? And 1154 00:53:33.199 --> 00:53:34.639 it's a little bit of two so you kind of 1155 00:53:34.639 --> 00:53:38.400 flail around for a while, you know, in like Super 1156 00:53:38.440 --> 00:53:40.639 Metro and it kind of like, yeah, the bosses shoot 1157 00:53:40.639 --> 00:53:44.119 them with missiles right, Like I kind of like how 1158 00:53:44.199 --> 00:53:47.960 Unzelda e they were. You know, there's still a bit 1159 00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:50.079 of a puzzle aspect here, but it's also like, yeah, 1160 00:53:50.159 --> 00:53:51.840 shoot them dodge their attacks. 1161 00:53:51.880 --> 00:53:53.440 I think that feels pretty good. 1162 00:53:53.960 --> 00:53:57.599 Yeah, I do think on the areas, I think this 1163 00:53:57.719 --> 00:54:02.039 is the strongest lineup of areas in maybe any Metroid game, like. 1164 00:54:02.280 --> 00:54:04.639 In terms of in terms of like their actual like 1165 00:54:04.719 --> 00:54:05.239 setting and. 1166 00:54:05.519 --> 00:54:08.440 The setting, the vibes, the music all coming together, and 1167 00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:10.880 even some of the elemental gimmicks like so, Mike, you 1168 00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:13.400 are you only part of the way through Ice Belt. 1169 00:54:13.760 --> 00:54:17.239 I just turned on the power generator Icepelt. I think 1170 00:54:17.280 --> 00:54:20.320 after that point, like solidifizes as me my favorite area 1171 00:54:20.480 --> 00:54:21.119 metro game. 1172 00:54:21.239 --> 00:54:23.360 It is it just time. 1173 00:54:23.400 --> 00:54:26.199 It's such a good idea and that's what the game needed. That, Like, 1174 00:54:27.239 --> 00:54:30.880 the game just needed more of those ideas solidifying and 1175 00:54:31.039 --> 00:54:33.320 shining through. It just feels like so much of it 1176 00:54:33.440 --> 00:54:36.159 is half baked. Is the problem? Like you you almost 1177 00:54:36.159 --> 00:54:38.639 got there, But the lineup of areas is very cool, 1178 00:54:38.679 --> 00:54:41.039 and I think they just need to do more with 1179 00:54:41.199 --> 00:54:43.880 it and maybe shrink similar things like the desert. 1180 00:54:45.079 --> 00:54:46.360 I don't know, there's I don't know if they're using 1181 00:54:46.440 --> 00:54:50.079 photographmetry or whatever. But just like this, the rocks sitting 1182 00:54:50.119 --> 00:54:52.719 in the lava with the big sort of machinery on 1183 00:54:52.760 --> 00:54:53.239 top of it. 1184 00:54:53.679 --> 00:54:55.519 Just oh, they cooked with the art in this game. 1185 00:54:55.559 --> 00:54:59.679 They really did have yeah to technically just absolutely mind blowing. 1186 00:54:59.800 --> 00:55:02.960 So well, yeah, I'm like halfway through, so I'm still 1187 00:55:03.000 --> 00:55:05.360 not sure where I land. I think I'm kind of, 1188 00:55:05.440 --> 00:55:07.400 you know, even with some of the next episode, I 1189 00:55:07.400 --> 00:55:08.639 think I'm still kind of at a four out of 1190 00:55:08.679 --> 00:55:12.559 five right now. I still am enjoying it, but there's 1191 00:55:12.599 --> 00:55:15.519 a you know, maybe a big takeaway is like, boy, 1192 00:55:15.559 --> 00:55:18.639 once again, just sure is hard to make a sequel 1193 00:55:18.679 --> 00:55:21.159 to Metroid Prime, and it's hard to live up to 1194 00:55:21.880 --> 00:55:24.320 those the actual standards, in the standards of where I 1195 00:55:24.360 --> 00:55:26.440 do put that game in my head a little bit. 1196 00:55:26.519 --> 00:55:28.800 I suppose it's kind of being this just mono. 1197 00:55:29.559 --> 00:55:32.079 It's all expectation, you know, Like it's hard to make 1198 00:55:32.079 --> 00:55:34.320 a follow out to Metroid Pride, no matter how many 1199 00:55:34.800 --> 00:55:36.719 entries removed from it we are. It's hard to make 1200 00:55:36.760 --> 00:55:38.880 a follow up to Super Metroid, no matter how many 1201 00:55:38.880 --> 00:55:42.079 follow entries we are removed from that. It's it's always 1202 00:55:42.079 --> 00:55:45.239 gonna be difficult to follow up the legacy the expectations grub, 1203 00:55:45.320 --> 00:55:47.079 I think this was a proper word to use when 1204 00:55:47.079 --> 00:55:49.800 you've described the baggage of the Metroid series. You can't 1205 00:55:49.840 --> 00:55:53.000 have two of the highest regarded games of all time 1206 00:55:53.039 --> 00:55:56.159 without having a super critical eye on all time. If 1207 00:55:56.159 --> 00:55:58.320 you have even the smallest myths step people are getting 1208 00:55:58.320 --> 00:56:01.079 called out, and that's it's fair because I'm I'm glad 1209 00:56:01.079 --> 00:56:04.119 this conversation we've had is less about is it Metroid, 1210 00:56:04.159 --> 00:56:07.280 because that's the thing that bothered me all through all throughout, 1211 00:56:07.280 --> 00:56:09.920 like the preview period. There things people saying this isn't Metrod. 1212 00:56:10.039 --> 00:56:12.199 Metroid can be a lot of things like calm down, 1213 00:56:12.239 --> 00:56:14.800 don't don't hold down such a pest al that's sacred. 1214 00:56:15.199 --> 00:56:17.079 Just let's talk about do we like it or not. 1215 00:56:17.159 --> 00:56:19.880 If you don't like it, that is completely valid. Everyone's 1216 00:56:19.880 --> 00:56:22.480 allowed to have their opinion. And if it didn't hit, 1217 00:56:22.559 --> 00:56:24.679 it didn't hit. I think for me, it hits somewhere 1218 00:56:24.679 --> 00:56:26.719 in the middle. And I think we have a wide, 1219 00:56:27.280 --> 00:56:30.159 pretty wide range of how we all feel about this game, 1220 00:56:30.199 --> 00:56:31.559 and that's interesting. 1221 00:56:31.559 --> 00:56:34.639 And I don't even fundamentally disagree with like anything anyone 1222 00:56:34.639 --> 00:56:36.159 on this call has said, Like I mean, I think 1223 00:56:36.159 --> 00:56:39.239 these are all valid things. I just don't think most 1224 00:56:39.280 --> 00:56:42.239 of them really were enough to bring down my overall 1225 00:56:42.280 --> 00:56:44.639 experience and enjoyment of the game. Like things Grubb says 1226 00:56:44.639 --> 00:56:47.039 about the overworld instructure and stuff. I totally understand, you know, 1227 00:56:47.400 --> 00:56:49.119 the guy saying boo, yeah, yeah, I don't love that, 1228 00:56:49.159 --> 00:56:51.519 But ultimately it didn't really affect my enjoyment of just 1229 00:56:51.559 --> 00:56:53.440 the metroid of it all, you know. So yeah, I 1230 00:56:53.800 --> 00:56:56.119 do like kind of the wide array of dependence here. 1231 00:56:56.840 --> 00:56:57.199 I will. 1232 00:56:57.679 --> 00:56:59.920 I will say, just when I was halfway through Vote Forge, 1233 00:57:00.159 --> 00:57:02.760 I thought out loud to myself, I don't think Jess 1234 00:57:02.760 --> 00:57:03.599 gonna like this game. 1235 00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:08.960 I can tell the moment that it really hit me 1236 00:57:09.119 --> 00:57:11.880 was I think maybe get into like the like seventy 1237 00:57:11.880 --> 00:57:13.760 five percent through the game, one of the new main 1238 00:57:13.800 --> 00:57:17.360 areas and uh realizing say, okay, every single one of 1239 00:57:17.440 --> 00:57:20.599 these areas the save the save spot is right at 1240 00:57:20.599 --> 00:57:23.400 the beginning when you walk in. There's maybe one other 1241 00:57:23.480 --> 00:57:26.280 save spot in the entire area there.

That's what you're 1273 00:58:40.280 --> 00:58:43.239 playing right now. And that's what I don't feel like 1274 00:58:43.239 --> 00:58:46.199 an intro. Yeah, the whole game.

Yeah, I suppose about it, 1417 01:05:19.440 --> 01:05:21.079 And there's a bit of that stuff here. 1418 01:05:21.519 --> 01:05:23.239 He asked me, what's my favorite genre. 1419 01:05:23.639 --> 01:05:27.039 I don't think that, Like, yeah, kind of cynical flipped 1420 01:05:27.079 --> 01:05:31.119 on its head. Superhero stuff is necessarily my thing. But 1421 01:05:31.440 --> 01:05:34.079 this is being done well. It looks really good. I 1422 01:05:34.119 --> 01:05:36.199 am curious to see where it goes. 1423 01:05:36.480 --> 01:05:39.400 I'm glad that just real quick in defensive minciple. That's 1424 01:05:39.440 --> 01:05:42.719 about seen through positivity through cynicism. 1425 01:05:42.800 --> 01:05:45.639 But yeah, I know, I'm just I have to defend 1426 01:05:45.639 --> 01:05:46.639 my boy. I like that. 1427 01:05:47.000 --> 01:05:49.360 I like that Mic is host on episode one because 1428 01:05:49.360 --> 01:05:51.719 I would say, man, it doesn't get really good until 1429 01:05:51.719 --> 01:05:54.320 like episode like three. I would say, because that the 1430 01:05:54.679 --> 01:05:57.639 first one introduces the main character and you know, the 1431 01:05:57.679 --> 01:06:00.440 main other character, and then two introduces the rest of 1432 01:06:00.440 --> 01:06:02.239 the crew. At three is like where you see what 1433 01:06:02.280 --> 01:06:04.800 the game really turns into and it really gets rolling 1434 01:06:04.800 --> 01:06:09.239 after then, Man, it goes places. I do really really 1435 01:06:09.280 --> 01:06:12.360 like the dispatching gameplay in here, because that's the thing 1436 01:06:12.400 --> 01:06:15.559 I always didn't like about the Telltale games is the 1437 01:06:15.880 --> 01:06:18.000 lack of gameplay. You know, they went for more of 1438 01:06:18.000 --> 01:06:20.840 an old school adventure game style kind of just you 1439 01:06:20.920 --> 01:06:23.360 walk your character around, you pick up maybe a key 1440 01:06:23.480 --> 01:06:26.440 or something like. There's not much to play there. You 1441 01:06:26.519 --> 01:06:29.039 kind of are just watching and then making all the decisions. 1442 01:06:29.039 --> 01:06:31.559 And it's cool that the decisions matter. But this actually 1443 01:06:31.599 --> 01:06:34.719 has a real game and there the management of the 1444 01:06:34.800 --> 01:06:38.079 dispatching I think is really fun and the strategy of it. 1445 01:06:38.599 --> 01:06:41.559 Yeah, He's an evolved version of Brotherhood's, you know, Cesson's 1446 01:06:41.599 --> 01:06:42.119 Great Brotherhood. 1447 01:06:42.199 --> 01:06:43.519 Yeah sure, Yeah, Like I love that. 1448 01:06:43.679 --> 01:06:45.760 Even if this was like ripped out and its own thing, 1449 01:06:45.840 --> 01:06:48.360 I would be like, oh, the dispatching gameplay is very fun. 1450 01:06:48.400 --> 01:06:50.760 But like the fact that in there the interweave it 1451 01:06:50.760 --> 01:06:53.599 into the story and some really creative ways. I thought, yeah, 1452 01:06:53.679 --> 01:06:57.119 some fun ways. I love dispatch so much. Yeah, I'm 1453 01:06:57.119 --> 01:06:59.320 doing a second play through with my friends now. Over 1454 01:06:59.559 --> 01:07:03.079 parts we just passed the controller and like, uh, this 1455 01:07:03.159 --> 01:07:04.920 is something my group of friends loves to do with 1456 01:07:04.960 --> 01:07:07.639 this kind of game is like everyone shouts what they 1457 01:07:07.679 --> 01:07:10.400 want the person holding the controller to do. It's a 1458 01:07:10.440 --> 01:07:13.320 little fun, like a little panicky, and then someone locks 1459 01:07:13.320 --> 01:07:14.880 in the decision. We all have to live with it. 1460 01:07:14.880 --> 01:07:16.840 It's it's a fun time and it's a fun way 1461 01:07:16.840 --> 01:07:19.960 of play that game. And yeah, I love this game. 1462 01:07:20.000 --> 01:07:21.519 This is this is towards the top of the list 1463 01:07:21.559 --> 01:07:22.239 for me this year. 1464 01:07:22.960 --> 01:07:25.800 Yeah, scry to play more of it.

Because there was 1482 01:08:19.560 --> 01:08:22.720 like a level of excitement and curiosity to it. And 1483 01:08:22.760 --> 01:08:24.560 now I feel like the bunk beds have fallen on 1484 01:08:24.600 --> 01:08:27.279 you guys, and maybe the Tingus Goose isn't what it's 1485 01:08:27.319 --> 01:08:27.680 meant to be. 1486 01:08:27.760 --> 01:08:31.119 The bunk beds are growing other living bunk beds off 1487 01:08:31.199 --> 01:08:34.399 of the like you know, the the studs that hold 1488 01:08:34.399 --> 01:08:35.399 it up and stuff like that. 1489 01:08:35.479 --> 01:08:36.079 It's weird. 1490 01:08:36.159 --> 01:08:37.760 If you want to do a movie reference, jan, I 1491 01:08:37.840 --> 01:08:39.800 think it's like a naked gun, the New One when 1492 01:08:39.840 --> 01:08:41.920 the bad guys looking through the thermal goggles and it 1493 01:08:41.920 --> 01:08:44.279 looks like Liam Neeson is fucking the dog and the 1494 01:08:44.279 --> 01:08:46.039 guy goes, I don't like this. 1495 01:08:47.399 --> 01:08:51.439 We are that guy now it's uh, and every and 1496 01:08:51.479 --> 01:08:53.119 the thing is every time we look back through thermal 1497 01:08:53.159 --> 01:08:54.319 goggles something different. 1498 01:08:54.359 --> 01:08:57.239 But it's getting worse. Yeah, it's getting worse. What do 1499 01:08:57.279 --> 01:08:58.680 you do in Tingus Goose? 1500 01:08:59.399 --> 01:09:03.159 Babies get born out of the it's an idol game, 1501 01:09:03.199 --> 01:09:08.079 but kind't say the word no, they don't. 1502 01:09:08.760 --> 01:09:10.359 Okay, that's where they come from. 1503 01:09:10.560 --> 01:09:12.880 They burst out of like a stomach, I think, and 1504 01:09:12.880 --> 01:09:16.600 then they're like constantly the babies are constantly bouncing out 1505 01:09:16.640 --> 01:09:18.560 and if you click on the babies enough, a bunch 1506 01:09:18.600 --> 01:09:20.239 of coins will come out, and then the baby will 1507 01:09:20.239 --> 01:09:22.399 explode into body parts. But if you don't click on 1508 01:09:22.439 --> 01:09:24.520 the baby, the baby will bounce around and go into 1509 01:09:24.560 --> 01:09:26.520 a coin slot. I think you still get something. 1510 01:09:28.119 --> 01:09:30.520 And it's fine if the babies explode, because you get 1511 01:09:30.520 --> 01:09:31.359 to keep the money. 1512 01:09:32.000 --> 01:09:34.199 Yeah, that's why I moved on. It did not matter 1513 01:09:34.239 --> 01:09:37.319 that they exploded. Yes, yeah, So then you take that 1514 01:09:37.399 --> 01:09:41.159 money and then you invest it in your goose that 1515 01:09:41.199 --> 01:09:44.399 has been been born out of this lady's stomach, and 1516 01:09:44.439 --> 01:09:46.600 it's the neck is continue to grow vertically, but then 1517 01:09:46.680 --> 01:09:50.800 you can grow new stems, like like new branches off 1518 01:09:50.800 --> 01:09:54.039 of this goose neck that are new gooseheads or other things. 1519 01:09:54.279 --> 01:09:56.079 And I'll say, right around then is where I'm like, 1520 01:10:01.279 --> 01:10:03.039 to what end? It's kind of what I thought to 1521 01:10:03.079 --> 01:10:04.680 myself and I did not get an answer. 1522 01:10:04.800 --> 01:10:08.920 It's non stop, just birthing things this game. Yeah, and 1523 01:10:08.960 --> 01:10:11.800 it's just a lot like it heard that video in 1524 01:10:11.880 --> 01:10:13.800 junior high that everyone had to watch but me was 1525 01:10:13.920 --> 01:10:16.079 really gross. It's just like if it's a lot of 1526 01:10:16.119 --> 01:10:19.279 that the game and it's just I do miracle around you. 1527 01:10:19.399 --> 01:10:21.760 Yeah, it's a beautiful miracle, is what it is. Never 1528 01:10:21.800 --> 01:10:24.319 seen it never will. Don't know what the whole situation 1529 01:10:24.439 --> 01:10:26.479 was way more than you would think. 1530 01:10:26.920 --> 01:10:30.600 It's so interesting that you just like cosmically were absent 1531 01:10:30.720 --> 01:10:31.439 that day. 1532 01:10:31.680 --> 01:10:34.359 I skipped a lot of class. Yeah I didn't intend to, 1533 01:10:34.439 --> 01:10:35.840 but yeah, I don't know what it looks like for 1534 01:10:35.880 --> 01:10:37.960 a thing to be born, and I probably will never know. 1535 01:10:38.119 --> 01:10:40.680 Can you skip class in high school? Dude? 1536 01:10:40.680 --> 01:10:43.319 I mean you can't mean you could just walk out 1537 01:10:43.359 --> 01:10:45.119 and drive to funk the land and place in the 1538 01:10:45.199 --> 01:10:45.680 night for a while. 1539 01:10:45.920 --> 01:10:46.520 Yeah, we might. 1540 01:10:47.560 --> 01:10:51.199 Are you gotta you gotta you gotta unpack that question? 1541 01:10:53.880 --> 01:10:55.520 You just walk out of the building and get what 1542 01:10:55.640 --> 01:11:01.920 they cared. Yes, but I assume they would have stopped 1543 01:11:01.920 --> 01:11:05.760 me nicky like and sometimes you have, Yeah, a lot 1544 01:11:05.800 --> 01:11:06.039 of waste. 1545 01:11:06.079 --> 01:11:09.439 I want to I want to say, it's Saturday schools. 1546 01:11:09.600 --> 01:11:11.920 Yes they did care. Yeah, I want to say it's 1547 01:11:11.920 --> 01:11:15.000 maybe different now a little bit. Uh. When we were 1548 01:11:15.000 --> 01:11:15.920 in high school. 1549 01:11:15.680 --> 01:11:20.520 It seemed very easy to do. Also, you're just like 1550 01:11:20.560 --> 01:11:21.520 the goodest boy. 1551 01:11:21.760 --> 01:11:23.199 I'm a good boy. I'm a good boy. Is it 1552 01:11:23.279 --> 01:11:25.359 possible that perhaps they gave up on Dan at a 1553 01:11:25.359 --> 01:11:25.920 certain point? 1554 01:11:26.760 --> 01:11:28.960 How much a cool bad boy I was? 1555 01:11:29.000 --> 01:11:31.319 I would skip school and when I got away, I 1556 01:11:31.319 --> 01:11:33.680 would put in the music volume three and play the 1557 01:11:33.760 --> 01:11:35.359 Degeneration X theme because I was. 1558 01:11:35.359 --> 01:11:40.079 Being a rebel. Yeah, you go to a super Bowl. 1559 01:11:40.279 --> 01:11:41.760 You can go to Catholic high school? 1560 01:11:41.800 --> 01:11:44.640 Right, No, no, just until fifth grade? Yeah, gotcha. 1561 01:11:44.680 --> 01:11:47.000 So anyway, the duck there, you can make a birthing 1562 01:11:47.000 --> 01:11:50.560 canal on the and then you can make another. You 1563 01:11:50.560 --> 01:11:52.880 can make another goose branch underneath that's a bunch of 1564 01:11:52.960 --> 01:11:55.119 tiny fingers that point straight out, and the baby goes 1565 01:11:55.119 --> 01:11:57.439 directly into those fingers, explodes, and you get the money 1566 01:11:57.520 --> 01:11:59.520 very quick now, and it's sort of like an infinite 1567 01:11:59.560 --> 01:12:00.000 money fact. 1568 01:12:00.399 --> 01:12:04.439 Stop. Well, I don't know how much longer y'all are 1569 01:12:04.479 --> 01:12:07.680 going to be playing. Tingis Goose. It sounds based off 1570 01:12:07.720 --> 01:12:11.159 of how y'all are parsing it out. It sounds unbeatable, 1571 01:12:11.520 --> 01:12:16.199 but something that is actually unbeatable. It's this guy unbeatable. Sean, 1572 01:12:16.760 --> 01:12:19.520 you have been checking this out. I think this is 1573 01:12:19.720 --> 01:12:22.239 a highly shun anticipated game. 1574 01:12:22.840 --> 01:12:26.039 Oh yes, yeah, speaking speaking of games, I've been waiting 1575 01:12:26.119 --> 01:12:29.159 a long time for this one. Not as long. This 1576 01:12:29.199 --> 01:12:31.920 has been like four years or so since the they 1577 01:12:31.920 --> 01:12:34.560 did a kickstarter to get this game funded. But I've 1578 01:12:34.600 --> 01:12:36.319 just been waiting to play this game ever since they 1579 01:12:36.319 --> 01:12:40.319 announced it. My elevator pitch for Unbeatable has always been 1580 01:12:40.600 --> 01:12:43.000 fully coolly. The game, if you like that sort of 1581 01:12:43.399 --> 01:12:47.479 late nineties early two thousand's anime where like, some cool 1582 01:12:47.520 --> 01:12:49.760 shit happens that you don't know why, but it's got 1583 01:12:49.760 --> 01:12:52.600 great music and music still. Now there you go. That's 1584 01:12:52.680 --> 01:12:55.960 this game. It's it's a little hard to describe precisely 1585 01:12:56.000 --> 01:12:58.920 what it is, but I think the easiest ways to 1586 01:12:58.920 --> 01:13:01.800 break down what the game play itself is, which is 1587 01:13:02.880 --> 01:13:07.119 paper Mario walking around flat two D character that's animated 1588 01:13:07.119 --> 01:13:10.199 walking around to three D space. And then when you 1589 01:13:10.239 --> 01:13:14.439 get into combat, which doesn't happen often often it's not 1590 01:13:14.439 --> 01:13:16.880 like an RPG combat, but it does happen, almost like 1591 01:13:16.920 --> 01:13:19.920 beat them up style, because this is a world where hey, 1592 01:13:20.119 --> 01:13:23.840 music is outlawed. The incident happened, and now we can't 1593 01:13:23.840 --> 01:13:26.319 do music, and you're sort of piecing together, well, why 1594 01:13:26.359 --> 01:13:30.039 the hell did this happen? And so naturally because it's outlawed, 1595 01:13:30.359 --> 01:13:33.840 and you know, you're the girl with the guitar, well, 1596 01:13:33.880 --> 01:13:36.600 in this case a microphone stand. You beat up the 1597 01:13:36.600 --> 01:13:39.720 cops left and right, and that's that's the combat in 1598 01:13:39.760 --> 01:13:44.399 this game. You get in there and it's like guitar 1599 01:13:44.520 --> 01:13:48.079 hero rock band style notes coming down paths, but instead 1600 01:13:48.079 --> 01:13:51.520 of being vertical, it is horizontal. It's just two lanes. 1601 01:13:51.680 --> 01:13:54.399 But they do something interesting with that where the notes 1602 01:13:54.760 --> 01:13:56.880 are either you know, just like you hit to the 1603 01:13:56.960 --> 01:13:59.359 rhythm and there's whole notes and there's rapid hit notes 1604 01:13:59.359 --> 01:14:02.479 when you're like punching people. But then when there's like 1605 01:14:02.960 --> 01:14:05.039 some of the more fully cooly of it, all the 1606 01:14:05.079 --> 01:14:09.800 more like supernatural weird stuff sometimes. Instead the combat is 1607 01:14:09.840 --> 01:14:12.159 with just like these creatures that pop up, these little 1608 01:14:12.159 --> 01:14:15.439 gremlin things, and they do fun things where you know, 1609 01:14:15.479 --> 01:14:17.159 you hit the high note or the bomb note with 1610 01:14:17.880 --> 01:14:20.600 two buns I your controller. Well, if you hit a 1611 01:14:20.680 --> 01:14:23.840 high note and it's like the blue note, there's physics 1612 01:14:23.880 --> 01:14:25.479 on it and so it like gets popped up. And 1613 01:14:25.520 --> 01:14:27.279 then on the next beat you have to hit on 1614 01:14:27.319 --> 01:14:30.279 the loan note, and so there's like all these visual cues. 1615 01:14:29.960 --> 01:14:31.199 That you're doing interesting. 1616 01:14:31.479 --> 01:14:34.600 Yeah, And that's the combat is you play like a 1617 01:14:34.640 --> 01:14:38.119 portion of a song rhythm game style, but then there's 1618 01:14:38.159 --> 01:14:41.920 all these other things too, Like mini games are abundant, 1619 01:14:41.920 --> 01:14:44.399 and it's very rhythm heaven, where like the first time 1620 01:14:44.399 --> 01:14:46.479 you look at it, there's like a beat you know, 1621 01:14:46.560 --> 01:14:49.800 like dot dot dot hey, and you're like wait what 1622 01:14:49.920 --> 01:14:52.439 and then it's like dot dot and like it'll be 1623 01:14:52.479 --> 01:14:55.319 baseball and you're like, oh, I hit the ball on 1624 01:14:55.439 --> 01:14:57.760 the beat. And then it's like that's the mini game. 1625 01:14:57.920 --> 01:15:00.439 It ramps up, it gets harder then, say you know, 1626 01:15:00.560 --> 01:15:03.600 later on they use that to have like oh, cop 1627 01:15:03.720 --> 01:15:06.640 drones are flying at you and it's like dot dot 1628 01:15:06.760 --> 01:15:08.880 dot hey, and you whack the drone out of the air. 1629 01:15:09.000 --> 01:15:12.119 You know, it's it builds in that way. It's a 1630 01:15:12.279 --> 01:15:16.079 very special game because like I think this is one 1631 01:15:16.079 --> 01:15:17.720 where like if you go to the Steam page now 1632 01:15:17.720 --> 01:15:19.800 you look at it, you're probably gonna know if you 1633 01:15:20.079 --> 01:15:22.479 want to play this or not. You know, if it's your. 1634 01:15:22.560 --> 01:15:25.840 I want to play it is amazing. 1635 01:15:25.960 --> 01:15:28.319 Yeah, it's all like hand drawn on like p S 1636 01:15:28.479 --> 01:15:32.680 one polygraphics. Like it's really cool. I would say, especially 1637 01:15:32.680 --> 01:15:35.039 like from this group I would call like grub Jan 1638 01:15:35.239 --> 01:15:36.880 and Jerf. I would love to see like what you 1639 01:15:36.920 --> 01:15:39.960 guys think of it and Mike up your alley too. Yeah, 1640 01:15:40.079 --> 01:15:42.920 it's it's very very interesting. 1641 01:15:43.520 --> 01:15:45.520 Remind me of that mini game I had to play 1642 01:15:45.560 --> 01:15:47.680 in the Back to the Future NS game on Arcade 1643 01:15:47.720 --> 01:15:49.039 Pit that one time. 1644 01:15:49.079 --> 01:15:53.880 It's just like, hey, by the way, shouts out the 1645 01:15:53.960 --> 01:15:55.880 arcade pit. They had a big anniversary. 1646 01:15:55.920 --> 01:16:00.520 Over the anniversary, there's a little bit jank unform, fortunately 1647 01:16:00.880 --> 01:16:03.640 to the point of being noticeable. And may it's because, 1648 01:16:03.680 --> 01:16:06.399 you know, developing this game during the pandemic and everything 1649 01:16:06.479 --> 01:16:09.720 sort of slowed down a smaller team, but it's just 1650 01:16:09.840 --> 01:16:12.119 enough to be noticeable, which is unfortunate. They do it like, 1651 01:16:12.800 --> 01:16:14.520 I hadn't played a version of this game with voice 1652 01:16:14.520 --> 01:16:17.520 acting up until the final release, and so they do 1653 01:16:17.560 --> 01:16:20.079 a cute thing where like the text will get squiggly 1654 01:16:20.359 --> 01:16:23.079 or big or scrambled depending on how people are talking, 1655 01:16:23.279 --> 01:16:26.960 and textboxes will overlap if someone cuts someone off. They 1656 01:16:27.119 --> 01:16:29.960 try to also add voice acting to that. I don't 1657 01:16:29.960 --> 01:16:31.840 think it quite hits. There's a little bit yank with 1658 01:16:31.880 --> 01:16:34.680 the when voice lines play. There's some bugs in the 1659 01:16:34.720 --> 01:16:37.079 game every once in a while, and it'll be anything 1660 01:16:37.079 --> 01:16:39.520 from a small to like a character sprite not loading 1661 01:16:39.600 --> 01:16:43.720 properly until a couple of seconds in to like one 1662 01:16:43.760 --> 01:16:46.479 of the big set pieces didn't load for me, and 1663 01:16:46.520 --> 01:16:49.119 I'm like, am am, I just waiting until this happens, 1664 01:16:49.119 --> 01:16:50.760 and then it's like game over because the thing just 1665 01:16:50.760 --> 01:16:54.439 didn't load. I wasn't playing the actual segment. They have 1666 01:16:54.560 --> 01:16:56.880 been releasing a bunch of patches in the review period, 1667 01:16:56.960 --> 01:16:59.039 so like maybe this final version will have a lot 1668 01:16:59.039 --> 01:17:01.479 of effis. I don't know, but just letting people know, 1669 01:17:01.520 --> 01:17:03.680 because I also quickly glanced at reviews here because this 1670 01:17:03.760 --> 01:17:05.560 game just came out at the top of the hour, 1671 01:17:06.000 --> 01:17:07.920 and so the reviews are starting to flow in. I 1672 01:17:07.960 --> 01:17:10.439 see some more people playing out. Yeah, there's enough jank 1673 01:17:10.479 --> 01:17:12.600 that was noticeable when we were playing for a review. 1674 01:17:12.640 --> 01:17:15.319 And it's it's a little bit longer than I thought. 1675 01:17:15.359 --> 01:17:17.159 Maybe I misread something. I thought it was four to 1676 01:17:17.199 --> 01:17:19.600 six hours, but it's like six to eight, so I 1677 01:17:19.960 --> 01:17:24.079 actually need one more session to finish the game. But again, 1678 01:17:24.239 --> 01:17:28.359 like right now, just you want to here's some awesome beats. 1679 01:17:28.359 --> 01:17:30.199 You want to beat up the cops in the process, 1680 01:17:30.279 --> 01:17:33.920 have this cool anime experience, and it's only like six 1681 01:17:33.960 --> 01:17:36.680 to eight hours. I think it should be right up 1682 01:17:36.680 --> 01:17:39.720 your alley. Which is, by the way, I neglected to 1683 01:17:39.760 --> 01:17:43.039 mention the other half of this game, because you know 1684 01:17:43.079 --> 01:17:45.920 how I mentioned that there there's rhythm game for like 1685 01:17:45.960 --> 01:17:50.079 the combat. They made what they call Arcade Mode, and 1686 01:17:50.119 --> 01:17:52.720 it's just a rhythm game. Like you just go through 1687 01:17:52.720 --> 01:17:55.199 this giant cool track list, you know, from all these 1688 01:17:55.199 --> 01:17:57.760 songs that they made for the game, remixes they got 1689 01:17:57.800 --> 01:17:59.840 like you know, friends of the devs and like all 1690 01:17:59.880 --> 01:18:02.600 the like famous video game composers and stuff to do, 1691 01:18:02.720 --> 01:18:06.159 like remixes and stuff, and you can just choose difficulties 1692 01:18:06.199 --> 01:18:08.920 and like there's leader boards and stuff like that. There's 1693 01:18:08.920 --> 01:18:11.279 is an entire rhythm game contained within this game that 1694 01:18:11.319 --> 01:18:14.399 has this cool story mode. So yeah, I'm having a 1695 01:18:14.439 --> 01:18:17.079 blast with it, and it is it is kind of 1696 01:18:17.119 --> 01:18:19.319 living up to my expectations for the most part. There's 1697 01:18:19.359 --> 01:18:20.880 a good Like I said, there's some jank, there's a 1698 01:18:20.880 --> 01:18:24.079 couple like slower moments than I would like, but overall 1699 01:18:24.119 --> 01:18:25.680 it's I think it's a special game. 1700 01:18:26.359 --> 01:18:28.640 It reminds me of an anime version of Back of 1701 01:18:28.640 --> 01:18:32.199 Our What was that game at Summer Game Fest that 1702 01:18:32.279 --> 01:18:34.560 had the young kids as they and they had the 1703 01:18:34.640 --> 01:18:37.279 vignettes and they were sort of like learning lessons and stuff. 1704 01:18:37.600 --> 01:18:47.039 Uh, yes, this is giving me like anime mixtape vibes. Yes, cool, Uh, 1705 01:18:47.319 --> 01:18:51.800 fantastic next game before we get to the news here, 1706 01:18:51.960 --> 01:18:54.560 We've talked about this at length at this point, but 1707 01:18:54.640 --> 01:18:57.239 I'm curious to see if you boys have any other 1708 01:18:57.279 --> 01:18:59.399 new jazz to talk about with Sick. 1709 01:19:00.880 --> 01:19:02.319 It's the main game I'm playing right now. It's the 1710 01:19:02.319 --> 01:19:03.880 main game I'm thinking about. It's the game that I 1711 01:19:03.960 --> 01:19:05.720 have to stop myself from playing at a certain time 1712 01:19:05.760 --> 01:19:07.079 of night. If I think I'm going to be going 1713 01:19:07.079 --> 01:19:09.159 to bed at any point in the next hour or so, 1714 01:19:09.520 --> 01:19:12.079 I will see the shapes in my head. Yeah, yep, okay, 1715 01:19:12.159 --> 01:19:15.640 that's my question. Yep, yep, No, no, I love in 1716 01:19:15.680 --> 01:19:18.239 your head. Yes, there are times where, like you know, 1717 01:19:18.279 --> 01:19:20.680 Tetris games and Luminous and stuff like that, where I 1718 01:19:20.760 --> 01:19:23.600 know a galantry warriors did this, and out there the. 1719 01:19:23.720 --> 01:19:26.399 O led burning in my brain. Yeah, yeah, my. 1720 01:19:26.239 --> 01:19:29.560 Brain and retinas are just filled with fucking shapes and yeah, 1721 01:19:29.600 --> 01:19:33.479 it's it is tremendous grub. I still I am nowhere 1722 01:19:33.479 --> 01:19:36.279 near your level. I'm my own level is going up. 1723 01:19:36.359 --> 01:19:36.479 You know. 1724 01:19:36.520 --> 01:19:40.239 I've beaten it on the experience mode a couple of 1725 01:19:40.279 --> 01:19:42.319 times now, and now I'm working on challenging because you 1726 01:19:42.319 --> 01:19:44.279 said that's where I can see, that's where most of 1727 01:19:44.279 --> 01:19:47.640 the high scores are. But oh man, it's just tremendous. 1728 01:19:47.680 --> 01:19:50.920 I'm just yelling as I play it out of joy 1729 01:19:51.000 --> 01:19:53.680 and frustration and oh I had eight shields and I 1730 01:19:53.720 --> 01:19:56.399 was on the fucking red thing and died immediately during 1731 01:19:56.399 --> 01:20:00.359 my best run, and that I'm furious about. And it's 1732 01:20:01.359 --> 01:20:04.560 quickly climbing my list this year. It is tremendous. 1733 01:20:05.399 --> 01:20:07.680 It's such a I mean, you know, it's of like 1734 01:20:07.760 --> 01:20:10.359 I've said, it's a very light rogue light in that 1735 01:20:10.399 --> 01:20:12.319 you're going to be unlocking things, but you unlock most 1736 01:20:12.319 --> 01:20:13.960 of the stuff, Like you have a deck of cards, 1737 01:20:13.960 --> 01:20:16.479 but you unlock all the cards in that deck after 1738 01:20:16.479 --> 01:20:19.279 a handful of runs. So really it's a rogue light 1739 01:20:19.319 --> 01:20:22.039 in that you are learning the game, so it's it's 1740 01:20:22.079 --> 01:20:24.760 just an arcade game but whatever. That's like most closely 1741 01:20:24.800 --> 01:20:27.359 associated with rogue light games these days, of like Spelunky. 1742 01:20:27.399 --> 01:20:29.840 You need to learn the mechanics file how every little 1743 01:20:29.840 --> 01:20:32.399 individual thing behaves so that you know how to react 1744 01:20:32.479 --> 01:20:34.680 and sort of plan and put yourself in the best 1745 01:20:34.720 --> 01:20:37.840 position to survive. And then once you feel confident, you 1746 01:20:37.840 --> 01:20:40.520 start coming up with strategies of like if I could 1747 01:20:40.520 --> 01:20:42.800 have dashed like a couple more times there, or if 1748 01:20:42.800 --> 01:20:45.319 my dash had a little bit more distance, I could 1749 01:20:45.359 --> 01:20:47.439 have done something different, And then you start stringing those 1750 01:20:47.479 --> 01:20:51.199 ideas together, and when it all clicks, you do feel 1751 01:20:51.199 --> 01:20:52.920 like a god or you feel close to God. It 1752 01:20:53.000 --> 01:20:55.439 is an ascendant experience for sure. 1753 01:20:55.520 --> 01:20:57.039 Curve, do you ever get tempted when it's like I've 1754 01:20:57.079 --> 01:20:58.960 got a crazy build going on, I'm pretty deep into 1755 01:20:58.960 --> 01:21:01.359 a run, it's looking pretty well, but I've got like, Okay, 1756 01:21:01.359 --> 01:21:03.560 my missiles are going crazy right now, and I have 1757 01:21:03.760 --> 01:21:06.239 four missile drones following me around, so there's just purple 1758 01:21:06.239 --> 01:21:08.720 missiles flying across the screen at all times. And then 1759 01:21:08.720 --> 01:21:11.039 I get a potential card where it's like, hey, what 1760 01:21:11.119 --> 01:21:13.800 if we turned all four of your shields into missile drones. 1761 01:21:13.800 --> 01:21:15.319 I'm like, like I. 1762 01:21:15.239 --> 01:21:17.520 Would die immediately, but it would be so fucking cool 1763 01:21:17.560 --> 01:21:18.880 while I lived, Like. 1764 01:21:18.920 --> 01:21:21.239 Uh huh, that's that. I definitely did that a handful 1765 01:21:21.279 --> 01:21:23.000 of times. Like You're like at a cera point, like 1766 01:21:23.039 --> 01:21:25.319 I'm doing so many of these runs, why am I 1767 01:21:25.359 --> 01:21:28.319 not taking risks? Like, let's the reward could be very high? 1768 01:21:28.399 --> 01:21:30.279 And I do think on my run I had I 1769 01:21:30.319 --> 01:21:33.159 did that early on, and it was like it gave 1770 01:21:33.199 --> 01:21:36.920 me uh four I think missile drones, and that gave 1771 01:21:36.920 --> 01:21:39.479 me enough survivability that it's sort of made up for 1772 01:21:39.479 --> 01:21:41.479 the fact that I didn't have these shields anymore. And 1773 01:21:41.479 --> 01:21:43.079 then it's like, okay, so for the next little bit, 1774 01:21:43.079 --> 01:21:45.520 I'm gonna focus on when I can building my shields 1775 01:21:45.560 --> 01:21:47.159 back up. You know, there's five in the bank there 1776 01:21:47.159 --> 01:21:49.319 if you can get the upgrades for it. Uh, And 1777 01:21:49.399 --> 01:21:51.319 it was okay, Yeah, I have so much survivability in 1778 01:21:51.399 --> 01:21:53.640 terms of shooting things down. Now, as long as I'm 1779 01:21:53.680 --> 01:21:56.840 paying attention to these things that dash at me, especially 1780 01:21:56.840 --> 01:21:58.640 from a distance, I'm gonna I'm gonna be okay. And 1781 01:21:58.640 --> 01:22:01.800 that's where the real last learning click came from. It 1782 01:22:01.880 --> 01:22:04.880 was I'm very good now of like clearing the like 1783 01:22:04.920 --> 01:22:07.159 plowing the field, of clearing everything in front of me, 1784 01:22:07.199 --> 01:22:09.920 and surviving by just going forward as soon as something 1785 01:22:10.000 --> 01:22:12.279 is gonna come from a distance that I really struggled 1786 01:22:12.319 --> 01:22:15.239 with that. It's like once I started learning some strategies there, 1787 01:22:15.279 --> 01:22:17.119 it's like, okay, now we're good and I can take 1788 01:22:17.119 --> 01:22:19.399 a little bit more risks and you got My goal 1789 01:22:19.479 --> 01:22:21.319 was to get over ten million. I got just over 1790 01:22:21.359 --> 01:22:23.319 ten million points, and I'm very happy with it. 1791 01:22:23.319 --> 01:22:27.159 It's an elite company of like Geometry, Wars, Robotron, like 1792 01:22:27.239 --> 01:22:28.880 the best those type of games you know. 1793 01:22:29.039 --> 01:22:31.239 I mean it's it's the sequel to that genre, like 1794 01:22:31.319 --> 01:22:34.000 this is of the people who played those games obviously 1795 01:22:34.239 --> 01:22:37.000 had good ideas for how to evolve it. It's geometry 1796 01:22:37.039 --> 01:22:37.960 wars have all devolved. 1797 01:22:38.000 --> 01:22:42.199 Yeah, it really is lovely, fantastic final game. During the 1798 01:22:42.239 --> 01:22:46.880 game segment today, this is another highly anticipated game. Backler, 1799 01:22:46.920 --> 01:22:49.319 I think you may be the most juiced. You've been 1800 01:22:49.359 --> 01:22:53.760 the most juiced for this. I'm talking about Skate Story. 1801 01:22:54.760 --> 01:22:59.600 Pretty juicy, is it obvious? Very moist? I appear to 1802 01:22:59.640 --> 01:23:03.760 be very You're you're vibrating, is what it is. I 1803 01:23:03.760 --> 01:23:08.960 can some would say shimmering, some would say shimmering sauce 1804 01:23:09.760 --> 01:23:12.199 that you look like you press the button to say that, 1805 01:23:12.279 --> 01:23:15.800 but you just and myself to make sure I can 1806 01:23:15.880 --> 01:23:19.479 scream that for you. Yeah, I'll goutew. It's one of those. 1807 01:23:19.279 --> 01:23:21.439 Moments where I felt like I was some sort of 1808 01:23:21.479 --> 01:23:23.960 like ventri liquist tell me where I opened my mouth 1809 01:23:24.000 --> 01:23:27.319 but Mike's voice came out. It was pretty cool. That's 1810 01:23:27.359 --> 01:23:30.960 not the worst thing that's ever happened to me. Skate Story, Baby, Jen, 1811 01:23:31.279 --> 01:23:32.279 Where are you at on this? 1812 01:23:32.520 --> 01:23:35.479 Okay, So in the quick look that is now up 1813 01:23:35.479 --> 01:23:39.279 on the website and on YouTube. I think during our 1814 01:23:39.359 --> 01:23:44.039 conversation back Laar, I was a little bit down on 1815 01:23:44.119 --> 01:23:47.680 the game. I've since completed it after the Quick Look 1816 01:23:48.720 --> 01:23:55.399 and holy shit, I am so we're so fucking back baby. 1817 01:23:55.760 --> 01:23:58.640 Is that because like the vibes and the story like 1818 01:23:58.680 --> 01:24:01.680 really came together like it was. It was a hefty 1819 01:24:01.760 --> 01:24:04.680 climax that really like delivered on everything that was supposed 1820 01:24:04.680 --> 01:24:06.880 to happen, or that you felt was supposed to happen, 1821 01:24:06.960 --> 01:24:08.600 or was it, Oh, the gameplay really clicked at a 1822 01:24:08.920 --> 01:24:09.479 certain point. 1823 01:24:10.079 --> 01:24:12.359 Honestly, grub, I'll have what she's having. All of the 1824 01:24:12.399 --> 01:24:18.840 above over there, I think, and and Backler, you had 1825 01:24:18.840 --> 01:24:21.600 some fantastic thoughts on the Quick Look, and I'd like 1826 01:24:21.640 --> 01:24:24.000 for you to to reiterate that over here. But I 1827 01:24:24.000 --> 01:24:28.920 think skate story, I want to initially wanted this to 1828 01:24:29.039 --> 01:24:31.800 just be a skating game, and then what it wound 1829 01:24:31.880 --> 01:24:40.800 up evolving into is perhaps a heavy shimmery Foustian deal 1830 01:24:41.199 --> 01:24:47.039 with skateboarding and then the association of getting back up 1831 01:24:47.359 --> 01:24:52.000 and doing the damn thing, whether that is your and 1832 01:24:52.279 --> 01:24:55.760 through this lens that the passion or the purpose is skating, 1833 01:24:56.119 --> 01:24:58.760 but that can one hundred percent be applied to so 1834 01:24:58.880 --> 01:25:04.319 many other things. I Visually this game is incredibly overstimulating 1835 01:25:04.439 --> 01:25:11.239 in a positive way, and the music absolutely crazy town 1836 01:25:11.319 --> 01:25:17.600 bananas because of how it is brilliantly formatted to play 1837 01:25:17.640 --> 01:25:22.199 along with the levels, the drops in it are absolutely bonkers. 1838 01:25:22.359 --> 01:25:27.279 It will go from a very ambient sounding angelic track 1839 01:25:27.800 --> 01:25:33.119 to blaring dubstep mid allie. There are parts of the 1840 01:25:33.159 --> 01:25:34.760 game where I still do have a little bit of 1841 01:25:34.800 --> 01:25:39.640 friction with I don't enjoy the semi open level segments 1842 01:25:39.680 --> 01:25:42.760 as much. I think the grinding in the game could 1843 01:25:42.800 --> 01:25:45.239 be a little bit better, and maybe that's just because 1844 01:25:45.279 --> 01:25:47.199 my brain is so attuned to how it is in 1845 01:25:47.279 --> 01:25:52.960 Tony Hawk. But overall, the story that gets unfolded of 1846 01:25:53.000 --> 01:25:56.199 you are this demon glass skater hell bent on consuming 1847 01:25:56.239 --> 01:26:00.840 the moon, and your journey through hell and your let's 1848 01:26:00.880 --> 01:26:04.319 just say friends that join along the way is great. 1849 01:26:04.520 --> 01:26:08.920 At the overall message and the fonts in this game, y'all, 1850 01:26:09.800 --> 01:26:12.520 I think this might be the best fonts of the year. 1851 01:26:12.560 --> 01:26:15.039 Backlar I don't want to speak for both of us here, 1852 01:26:15.279 --> 01:26:18.800 but I think this is a lovely game because this 1853 01:26:19.119 --> 01:26:24.079 hits the jan and backlar Venn diagram of like immaculate vibes. 1854 01:26:24.600 --> 01:26:28.279 Music atmosphere and fonts. 1855 01:26:29.520 --> 01:26:32.199 I mean, yeah, you kind of put it perfectly. Yeah, 1856 01:26:32.439 --> 01:26:37.399 I mean just vibes are immaculate top to bottom. I 1857 01:26:37.479 --> 01:26:40.760 don't know, on the quickly agree we went over this. 1858 01:26:41.000 --> 01:26:45.239 I am so impressed with how such a singular vision 1859 01:26:45.960 --> 01:26:52.880 is so perfectly realized in this game. It is unbelievable, 1860 01:26:52.960 --> 01:26:58.560 and in the way it's presented in the seemingly impossibly 1861 01:26:58.680 --> 01:27:02.600 small amount of people or a person that is involved 1862 01:27:02.640 --> 01:27:04.520 in the creation of this game is nothing short of 1863 01:27:05.000 --> 01:27:06.239 a goddamn miracle. 1864 01:27:07.920 --> 01:27:08.199 Yeah. 1865 01:27:08.279 --> 01:27:12.079 I think this has the right amount of. 1866 01:27:13.479 --> 01:27:13.920 Sort of. 1867 01:27:15.479 --> 01:27:19.439 You know, consideration for all the things that you would 1868 01:27:19.439 --> 01:27:23.159 want to do in a game where I'm not you know, 1869 01:27:23.399 --> 01:27:26.680 I'm I want to just get lost in this world 1870 01:27:26.720 --> 01:27:29.560 when I'm playing it. And that was selfishly what I 1871 01:27:29.640 --> 01:27:33.159 was hoping for with all the trailers and the lead 1872 01:27:33.239 --> 01:27:36.159 up to this, and you know, it was sending a 1873 01:27:36.159 --> 01:27:39.560 message of like, oh, is this game like a Tony 1874 01:27:39.600 --> 01:27:42.680 Hawk put in in you know, chromatic Hellscape? 1875 01:27:42.800 --> 01:27:43.640 No is it? 1876 01:27:43.680 --> 01:27:46.119 Is it sort of something else? And I was kind 1877 01:27:46.119 --> 01:27:47.800 of hoping it was something else and and and that's 1878 01:27:47.800 --> 01:27:49.439 what it is. And you get, you know out of it, 1879 01:27:49.520 --> 01:27:52.520 what you what you sort of put into it to. 1880 01:27:52.560 --> 01:27:54.439 Describe like what it is just real quick as like 1881 01:27:54.560 --> 01:27:57.239 kind of a poem almost like them trying to throw 1882 01:27:58.199 --> 01:28:00.199 a tone for mechanics and vibes all that. 1883 01:28:00.359 --> 01:28:01.840 It's it's a bit like. 1884 01:28:03.359 --> 01:28:05.000 It's a bit like a lot almost like a beat 1885 01:28:05.079 --> 01:28:08.079 poetry kind of thing too, where you're just sort of. 1886 01:28:10.000 --> 01:28:10.439 Watching. 1887 01:28:10.560 --> 01:28:14.560 Yeah, but definitely abstract, definitely just sort of uh ingesting 1888 01:28:14.720 --> 01:28:20.760 little chapters and short you know, storytelling moments that you 1889 01:28:20.800 --> 01:28:26.439 know don't really are mostly inconsequential, certainly to Jan's point, 1890 01:28:26.760 --> 01:28:31.079 deliver a positive message. But again, a lot of it 1891 01:28:31.119 --> 01:28:33.159 is is you know, you were you were going from 1892 01:28:33.279 --> 01:28:36.880 chapter to chapter in this story about a demon who 1893 01:28:37.000 --> 01:28:40.359 is making looking signed to deal with the devil, to 1894 01:28:40.439 --> 01:28:42.600 sort of make his way through the underworld. 1895 01:28:42.640 --> 01:28:44.119 And you know, you can eat the moon. 1896 01:28:44.479 --> 01:28:47.239 So many moons. There's many moons that you will consume 1897 01:28:47.399 --> 01:28:52.560 in this game, and they are by all accounts delicious. Yeah, so, 1898 01:28:52.680 --> 01:28:55.880 I you know that's it is very abstract, Uh it is. 1899 01:28:56.000 --> 01:29:01.840 You know, there is light, skateboarding, trick chaining sort of together. 1900 01:29:02.239 --> 01:29:05.800 I definitely echo Jan's thoughts about the grinding. I do 1901 01:29:05.880 --> 01:29:10.680 think it is very rewarding when you kind of figure 1902 01:29:10.720 --> 01:29:14.079 out how you are meant to parlay some of these 1903 01:29:14.079 --> 01:29:17.479 tricks together and with the grinding, the move set of 1904 01:29:17.560 --> 01:29:23.920 tricks that you have is not wildly you know, varied, 1905 01:29:24.359 --> 01:29:26.199 and I think that forces you to be a bit 1906 01:29:26.239 --> 01:29:28.680 more creative with how you kind of chain stuff and 1907 01:29:28.720 --> 01:29:31.920 implement stuff. And you know you're using these combos and 1908 01:29:31.960 --> 01:29:36.920 these trick performances to to to battle bosses. That's how 1909 01:29:37.039 --> 01:29:39.000 the game sort of is structured. 1910 01:29:40.119 --> 01:29:42.840 You know, it is very light. Everything is very sort 1911 01:29:42.840 --> 01:29:44.159 of light and airy about it. 1912 01:29:44.159 --> 01:29:47.479 It's a it's a very breezy kind of playthrough. The 1913 01:29:48.079 --> 01:29:50.600 environments are all sort of like New York based, you know, 1914 01:29:50.640 --> 01:29:55.199 whether it's a subway or sort of an overworld. And yeah, 1915 01:29:55.359 --> 01:29:57.760 you know again, like the biggest part of this game 1916 01:29:57.760 --> 01:29:59.840 for me is like I know, I'm going to play 1917 01:29:59.840 --> 01:30:02.560 some going to be visually it is striking. Everything is 1918 01:30:02.560 --> 01:30:04.680 so striking. You're so sort of blown away as to 1919 01:30:04.760 --> 01:30:08.079 like all the particulars that are happening on screen and 1920 01:30:08.119 --> 01:30:12.439 once it really is just like a total carnival, right, 1921 01:30:12.680 --> 01:30:16.199 And I think it's I think this game, more so 1922 01:30:16.319 --> 01:30:18.359 than anything I can really think of in recent memory, 1923 01:30:18.479 --> 01:30:21.119 is such a product. You know, the sum of all 1924 01:30:21.159 --> 01:30:23.800 of its little parts, right, I think, you know, if 1925 01:30:23.800 --> 01:30:26.000 you take one thing and sort of slice it out 1926 01:30:26.039 --> 01:30:27.800 and examine it, you're like, oh, this is like an 1927 01:30:27.800 --> 01:30:30.279 interesting mechanic. But I do think the best thing about 1928 01:30:30.319 --> 01:30:32.680 this game is how when all these ingredients are put 1929 01:30:32.680 --> 01:30:35.560 into the blender, the thing you get out is this, 1930 01:30:35.840 --> 01:30:42.600 like is such a satisfying sort of overall experience. And yeah, 1931 01:30:42.720 --> 01:30:44.920 I mean it's you know, I don't think it's gonna 1932 01:30:44.960 --> 01:30:47.640 like I don't think any of the gameplays specifically, is 1933 01:30:47.680 --> 01:30:50.399 going to blow anyone away. That that is not what 1934 01:30:50.479 --> 01:30:54.960 this game is. This game is mostly the experience, mostly 1935 01:30:55.079 --> 01:30:59.720 the vibes, and and I think when you play this thing, 1936 01:30:59.800 --> 01:31:01.920 like for me, it's like, this is a thing I 1937 01:31:01.960 --> 01:31:07.319 don't even understand how to like, you know, put intowards it, 1938 01:31:07.359 --> 01:31:10.000 Like the experience of what you're doing. You've never seen 1939 01:31:10.039 --> 01:31:12.800 anything like this, You've never played really anything like this, 1940 01:31:13.319 --> 01:31:16.199 and you've never been presented with anything in this sort 1941 01:31:16.239 --> 01:31:21.680 of way. The music implementation is nothing short. It's like 1942 01:31:21.760 --> 01:31:24.800 it's almost perfect, Like seriously, it is so. 1943 01:31:27.479 --> 01:31:30.119 With the game. There's track choices. 1944 01:31:30.239 --> 01:31:32.960 Blood Cultures is the band that put together a lot 1945 01:31:33.000 --> 01:31:36.199 of the music for this. It is and when and 1946 01:31:36.279 --> 01:31:39.199 like Jen said, when those drops hit, it is chills, 1947 01:31:39.439 --> 01:31:42.479 like literal chill what this game is able to do. 1948 01:31:42.800 --> 01:31:45.279 And again I think like you know, you you pop 1949 01:31:45.319 --> 01:31:46.800 in for a second here and there, and you're just like, 1950 01:31:47.119 --> 01:31:49.600 all right, you're just controlling this kind of like clunky 1951 01:31:49.680 --> 01:31:53.039 little glass man and that's weird, I guess. And these 1952 01:31:53.039 --> 01:31:57.439 things look strange and striking and unique and whatnot all 1953 01:31:57.479 --> 01:32:02.159 together though, really just such a such a satisfying, tremendous 1954 01:32:02.199 --> 01:32:06.039 experience overall. Really happy that this is out there. I 1955 01:32:06.079 --> 01:32:08.359 am so grateful that this thing is out there. 1956 01:32:09.600 --> 01:32:12.319 Yeah, what what a past couple of weeks for? Like 1957 01:32:12.399 --> 01:32:17.920 these music and vibes focused games, Secretary, Unbeatable and now 1958 01:32:17.960 --> 01:32:20.479 a skate story. Like it's seems like we all kind 1959 01:32:20.479 --> 01:32:23.039 of have one of these. That's that's got awesome, especially 1960 01:32:23.079 --> 01:32:24.960 you know, like, hey, if some of the bigger releases 1961 01:32:25.000 --> 01:32:27.720 are a little disappointing in ways that it's cool that 1962 01:32:27.800 --> 01:32:30.239 we have these smaller and more personal experiences that are 1963 01:32:30.239 --> 01:32:31.720 really hidden with us. That's really cool. 1964 01:32:32.399 --> 01:32:35.520 Yeah, I think it is personal, right, Like I'm not 1965 01:32:35.680 --> 01:32:42.399 expecting every Tom, Tom, Dick and Harry exactly what they're 1966 01:32:42.399 --> 01:32:45.000 talking about, But I'm not expecting everyone to just like 1967 01:32:45.119 --> 01:32:47.479 totally sync with this and be like, I get it 1968 01:32:47.560 --> 01:32:49.920 back alart, this is speaking to me in the exact 1969 01:32:50.119 --> 01:32:50.399 it's not. 1970 01:32:50.560 --> 01:32:51.399 It's not going to do it. 1971 01:32:51.439 --> 01:32:53.560 There's there's a lot of and I think Jen, you 1972 01:32:53.600 --> 01:32:55.760 share the same sort of you know, mentality, Like there's 1973 01:32:55.760 --> 01:32:57.199 a lot of things that just kind of like speak 1974 01:32:57.239 --> 01:33:02.399 to the stuff we're into, right, And that's definitely a 1975 01:33:02.439 --> 01:33:05.960 recipe for success when you've got that sort of commonality 1976 01:33:06.119 --> 01:33:06.520 with what. 1977 01:33:06.439 --> 01:33:07.319 The scheme's presenting. 1978 01:33:07.319 --> 01:33:09.880 So it is a deeply kind of like personal thing too. 1979 01:33:11.119 --> 01:33:12.640 But yeah, when it hits, it hits. 1980 01:33:12.640 --> 01:33:17.840 Man. Cool. I wasn't expecting to take as many screenshots 1981 01:33:17.960 --> 01:33:20.800 of the game. I take screenshots of a game. It's 1982 01:33:20.840 --> 01:33:22.600 not just because it looks pretty in the moment, but 1983 01:33:22.680 --> 01:33:27.920 because they're dropping bars with the dialogue or the story 1984 01:33:27.960 --> 01:33:31.439 and the text. Each chapter ends with like a summarai 1985 01:33:31.880 --> 01:33:34.399 a poem that summarizes the whole level, and it's it's 1986 01:33:34.520 --> 01:33:40.119 done very well. I think for me, this kind of again, 1987 01:33:40.239 --> 01:33:43.279 this is yet another example of the beauty of telling 1988 01:33:43.319 --> 01:33:48.159 stories through video games as a medium, because I don't know, 1989 01:33:48.479 --> 01:33:51.159 like watching this would be cool as like a visual 1990 01:33:51.319 --> 01:33:54.800 or a music video. But like playing through it. Another 1991 01:33:54.800 --> 01:33:56.760 thing that I think Skate Story does really well is 1992 01:33:56.760 --> 01:33:59.640 that it nails the weight of skating and like the 1993 01:33:59.680 --> 01:34:04.279 half and like the fervor of like you gotta push 1994 01:34:04.399 --> 01:34:07.039 and kick, and even though he's like a little glass 1995 01:34:07.079 --> 01:34:09.720 demon man, you see him like swaying and like trying 1996 01:34:09.760 --> 01:34:15.359 to re recapture his balance. Yeah. Also there, God, when 1997 01:34:15.359 --> 01:34:17.640 I say I have had so many screenshots, it's because 1998 01:34:18.439 --> 01:34:24.199 this game reminded me oddly enough of aspects of mouthwashing 1999 01:34:24.399 --> 01:34:27.840 from last year, and for folks that are also looking 2000 01:34:27.840 --> 01:34:30.279 for another game that it may be similar to I 2001 01:34:30.319 --> 01:34:32.600 mentioned on the quick Look, there are moments where it 2002 01:34:32.680 --> 01:34:37.920 does remind me of Cyonara Wild Hearts. So imagine Cyonar 2003 01:34:38.039 --> 01:34:41.319 Wilde Heart's mouth washing on a skateboard and you are 2004 01:34:41.359 --> 01:34:45.880 a little glass baby man. Also one of the frogs 2005 01:34:45.880 --> 01:34:46.319 of the year. 2006 01:34:46.640 --> 01:34:49.840 I think, oh my god, Oh okay, there's a pillow man. 2007 01:34:49.960 --> 01:34:54.399 Also a little beat like just strange, little weird shit. 2008 01:34:54.600 --> 01:34:58.600 It is very also like David Lynchian, Yes, yes, yeah, 2009 01:34:59.039 --> 01:35:01.279 you know, in a in a weird kind of way 2010 01:35:01.279 --> 01:35:03.680 where you're just sort of like, I don't know. This 2011 01:35:04.560 --> 01:35:08.760 floating skull has these like scissors that say something important 2012 01:35:08.800 --> 01:35:11.520 to what I'm meant to do here. I don't know 2013 01:35:11.520 --> 01:35:14.560 what else. It is everyone's little and we're all going 2014 01:35:14.600 --> 01:35:18.239 into this portal and that's what's happening. 2015 01:35:18.000 --> 01:35:20.800 Back or did you get to the penguin? Oh my god? 2016 01:35:20.920 --> 01:35:21.159 Yes? 2017 01:35:21.720 --> 01:35:28.119 Did the penguin also remind you of Benati? The penguins? Oh? Shit, Okay, 2018 01:35:28.279 --> 01:35:32.960 I see this. I'll send you. That's amazing. That's parenthesis positive. 2019 01:35:33.000 --> 01:35:40.840 Mike don'ts are great because he just like a sway 2020 01:35:40.920 --> 01:35:43.279 to him. That's like if a Finati ran like a 2021 01:35:43.359 --> 01:35:47.319 jewelry shop, he'd be this penguin, you know. 2022 01:35:47.359 --> 01:35:50.159 And that's the cool thing, Like you know, this is 2023 01:35:50.680 --> 01:35:53.680 you know, I I this is the this is the 2024 01:35:53.720 --> 01:35:57.960 playfulness of hell that I feel like I've been too 2025 01:35:58.079 --> 01:36:02.960 that no one else has really gets on board a while. Yeah, 2026 01:36:03.039 --> 01:36:05.800 I've been banging this satanic drum for for a minute. 2027 01:36:05.960 --> 01:36:09.319 And if skate story is any you know, vindication of 2028 01:36:09.359 --> 01:36:11.560 what exactly I was going for here. I mean here 2029 01:36:11.560 --> 01:36:12.279 it is, folks. 2030 01:36:12.920 --> 01:36:14.199 It is uh. 2031 01:36:14.399 --> 01:36:16.680 You ever go to a bar and you're like, yes, 2032 01:36:16.800 --> 01:36:19.680 and like the decoration, I wasn't done. I wasn't done, 2033 01:36:19.840 --> 01:36:22.720 And the decoration and like the ship on the walls, 2034 01:36:22.800 --> 01:36:25.920 and like the things they're calling their menu items, and 2035 01:36:25.960 --> 01:36:29.000 the people behind the bar and all the all those 2036 01:36:29.039 --> 01:36:31.520 little bit You're like, fuck, man, this would be my 2037 01:36:31.680 --> 01:36:34.319 bar if I made a bar, right, Like, that's the 2038 01:36:34.399 --> 01:36:37.159 feeling I'm getting with Skate Story. It's like I feel 2039 01:36:37.239 --> 01:36:40.000 so at home here, you know, I feel so much, 2040 01:36:40.600 --> 01:36:43.720 uh like I belong, like this is a member, Like 2041 01:36:43.800 --> 01:36:46.720 I'm I'm supposed to be a member of this club somehow, 2042 01:36:47.239 --> 01:36:50.520 and uh that's it for me. So I feel, you know, 2043 01:36:50.640 --> 01:36:54.520 the Skate Story should make march, you know, I do 2044 01:36:54.760 --> 01:36:57.439 like Sam. Let's talk like what do we what are 2045 01:36:57.439 --> 01:36:59.600 we doing? I don't know Sam. I keep talking about 2046 01:36:59.600 --> 01:37:03.279 Sam like I know Sam. I think Sam's probably pretty cool. 2047 01:37:03.720 --> 01:37:08.119 I think Sam is very cool. Oh god, all right, that, 2048 01:37:08.359 --> 01:37:11.039 folks is skate Story. That is it for the games. 2049 01:37:11.119 --> 01:37:15.479 Jeff's not Jan tell me just real quick, not think 2050 01:37:15.960 --> 01:37:18.079 babo babe, no bout baby steps. 2051 01:37:18.720 --> 01:37:24.199 Oh okay, grub. I had completed Skate Story and then 2052 01:37:24.439 --> 01:37:27.520 the story that it was presenting towards me and this 2053 01:37:27.560 --> 01:37:29.760 is I think I've just been on a journey this 2054 01:37:29.880 --> 01:37:31.840 year of like, oh, all these games are making me 2055 01:37:31.880 --> 01:37:34.439 feel way too much. Let's go for another game that 2056 01:37:34.520 --> 01:37:37.560 may potentially make me feel way too much. And so 2057 01:37:37.720 --> 01:37:41.920 I booted up Baby Steps and I made it decently far, 2058 01:37:42.520 --> 01:37:45.800 and I was kind of letting it all sit and 2059 01:37:45.840 --> 01:37:47.560 simmer with me, and then it just kind of like 2060 01:37:47.680 --> 01:37:50.600 clicked into place after I thought of glass Story or 2061 01:37:50.640 --> 01:37:56.319 not glass Story, skate Story. Sorry, and this is going 2062 01:37:56.359 --> 01:38:00.439 to be a very interesting game of the year. We 2063 01:38:00.640 --> 01:38:05.439 appreciate a developer like Bennett Foddy. I think Sam Ng 2064 01:38:05.720 --> 01:38:09.000 also should should now be in that conversation for like 2065 01:38:09.199 --> 01:38:15.039 fantastic indie devs, because the stuff going on in bed 2066 01:38:15.119 --> 01:38:19.880 at Foddy's brain is very poetic and beautiful, but also 2067 01:38:20.680 --> 01:38:24.279 are you okay dog type of deal. And I think 2068 01:38:24.319 --> 01:38:26.920 I get Baby Steps not just for the hilarity that 2069 01:38:27.039 --> 01:38:29.159 is presented, because of the physics of the game and 2070 01:38:29.560 --> 01:38:34.439 how it is, how it breaks down and makes a 2071 01:38:34.479 --> 01:38:39.439 complicated task out of just walking, but then the act 2072 01:38:39.520 --> 01:38:43.159 of walking and entering that flow state, but then getting 2073 01:38:43.239 --> 01:38:45.600 back up because you know, you get knocked down and 2074 01:38:45.640 --> 01:38:47.359 you get back up again, and they're never going to 2075 01:38:47.439 --> 01:38:48.000 take me down. 2076 01:38:48.399 --> 01:38:50.159 I got knocked down and stop playing it. 2077 01:38:52.960 --> 01:38:55.760 Are the person who least lives the chumblewoe, the lifestyle, 2078 01:38:55.840 --> 01:39:01.119 dam right, I'll say it. 2079 01:39:02.880 --> 01:39:03.520 Your weapon. 2080 01:39:05.279 --> 01:39:06.880 I fell down the first hill and I was like, 2081 01:39:06.880 --> 01:39:07.479 well that's it for. 2082 01:39:07.479 --> 01:39:12.600 Me, and like I fell numerous times before we even 2083 01:39:12.800 --> 01:39:14.680 like it took me so long to get out of 2084 01:39:14.680 --> 01:39:17.760 the initial like little water you're in and I kind 2085 01:39:17.760 --> 01:39:20.079 of just flopped around like we did in the original 2086 01:39:20.159 --> 01:39:25.159 unfinished of Steps. But yeah, like it clicks into place. 2087 01:39:25.840 --> 01:39:29.159 There's a moment in that game that was top three 2088 01:39:29.239 --> 01:39:31.520 most emotional moments for me in any video game ever. 2089 01:39:31.920 --> 01:39:34.800 And it does happen. It does happen like related to. 2090 01:39:35.000 --> 01:39:37.560 The Man Breaker, but after the Man Breaker, I'm not 2091 01:39:37.680 --> 01:39:41.800 quite there yet. But from what the parts of the 2092 01:39:41.840 --> 01:39:43.920 game that have spoken to me, and that's just me 2093 01:39:44.039 --> 01:39:49.239 finding meaning in it, I have definitely reverberated inside the 2094 01:39:49.279 --> 01:39:55.399 cavernous hollows of my soul right now, Jesus anyway, Jeff Grubb, 2095 01:39:55.439 --> 01:40:07.640 the dues Hi, I have news. 2096 01:40:08.000 --> 01:40:11.119 Let's start here with game Stop may have accidentally leaked 2097 01:40:11.119 --> 01:40:15.000 a second playable Resident Evil Requiem character. A game Stop 2098 01:40:15.039 --> 01:40:18.600 listing for the Resident Evil Requiem Deluxe Bundle briefly revealed 2099 01:40:18.600 --> 01:40:22.920 a potential second playable character, Rosemary Winters. The listing now 2100 01:40:23.000 --> 01:40:27.319 edited mention a shadow Walker costume pack with three exclusive 2101 01:40:27.319 --> 01:40:31.319 outfits for Rosemary Winters and a morphic visor cosmetic filter 2102 01:40:31.800 --> 01:40:35.720 for Rose's visor and Aiden whatever his name's iconic hat. 2103 01:40:35.800 --> 01:40:40.000 I'm sure, let's see here. Yeah, so that's one character 2104 01:40:40.039 --> 01:40:42.560 that could be in that game. There's another one though. 2105 01:40:43.159 --> 01:40:46.479 Now at the PlayStation store, they have also accidentally revealed 2106 01:40:46.520 --> 01:40:48.800 a Resident Evil veteran will be coming to Requiem, and 2107 01:40:48.880 --> 01:40:51.399 this is a different character. An image on the PlayStation 2108 01:40:51.520 --> 01:40:54.520 Store for Resident Evil Requiem seemingly confirms the return of 2109 01:40:54.680 --> 01:40:58.079 veteran character. I mean, gott, I guess it's spoiler, but 2110 01:40:58.600 --> 01:41:05.640 everyone was guessing this. Come on, come on, Leon Kennedy. Yes, yeah, 2111 01:41:05.720 --> 01:41:07.279 this has been in the air for a while now. 2112 01:41:07.319 --> 01:41:09.880 I think this is something one or both of these 2113 01:41:10.119 --> 01:41:12.399 could be revealed at the Game Awards even. 2114 01:41:12.279 --> 01:41:14.720 So, yeah, oh my god, wait three characters? Are we doing? 2115 01:41:14.800 --> 01:41:16.000 A Resident Evil? Six? 2116 01:41:16.239 --> 01:41:22.600 Like a devilment cry five? Like five like Marcian Gothic, 2117 01:41:22.800 --> 01:41:24.159 like I. 2118 01:41:24.439 --> 01:41:26.840 Just want to like zap one of the other characters, 2119 01:41:27.000 --> 01:41:28.600 and one of them is just doing some some. 2120 01:41:28.640 --> 01:41:32.680 Random hot dog Yeah yeah, okay, so how many years 2121 01:41:32.720 --> 01:41:35.920 because like Rosemary was a kid, she was the baby 2122 01:41:35.960 --> 01:41:36.920 in village, right, she. 2123 01:41:36.920 --> 01:41:40.720 Was a very village. But the deal was forward. 2124 01:41:40.079 --> 01:41:44.039 But yeah, something in the DLC. 2125 01:41:44.600 --> 01:41:47.560 Yeah, but this I can't imagine taking place during that 2126 01:41:47.720 --> 01:41:48.640 time skip era. 2127 01:41:48.680 --> 01:41:48.960 I don't know. 2128 01:41:49.000 --> 01:41:51.560 I never played that DLC, so I feel like the 2129 01:41:51.640 --> 01:41:53.439 Rose thing. I don't know what to make of that. 2130 01:41:53.439 --> 01:41:56.039 That could be something small or whatever. But looking at 2131 01:41:56.119 --> 01:41:59.239 especially the key art where you get the Leon leak, 2132 01:41:59.680 --> 01:42:03.199 like that is a what do you call that protagonist? 2133 01:42:03.840 --> 01:42:03.960 Right? 2134 01:42:04.000 --> 01:42:08.039 It's just the second protagonists, right, that's a fun it's 2135 01:42:08.039 --> 01:42:09.960 fun to say that. I need to learn that better. 2136 01:42:10.000 --> 01:42:10.880 Du toists. 2137 01:42:11.199 --> 01:42:11.600 Yeah, I. 2138 01:42:13.800 --> 01:42:17.319 Bet you have a son right there. 2139 01:42:17.399 --> 01:42:19.279 And I think this is why we probably have like 2140 01:42:19.319 --> 01:42:21.399 the first person and third person gameplay. 2141 01:42:21.439 --> 01:42:23.079 I bet the Leon Kennedy stuff is going. 2142 01:42:23.000 --> 01:42:26.199 To be a bit more action presenting, whereas the stuff 2143 01:42:26.239 --> 01:42:28.720 with the new character likely seeing the trailers as much 2144 01:42:28.760 --> 01:42:31.039 more like Resident Evil seven more scary. 2145 01:42:31.640 --> 01:42:31.960 Uh. 2146 01:42:32.039 --> 01:42:34.159 You know, I'm excited to see what this looks like 2147 01:42:34.279 --> 01:42:36.199 a bit more at the game wards. 2148 01:42:36.319 --> 01:42:40.039 I like Leon Kennedy a lot. One of my favorite characters. 2149 01:42:40.399 --> 01:42:42.479 Good, he grew a beard is facial here. 2150 01:42:42.560 --> 01:42:45.600 Now Scott's a stubble, a very tasteful stubble.

The future of Tomb Raider will be revealed 2156 01:42:58.439 --> 01:43:00.640 at the Game Awards this week, asking for via a 2157 01:43:00.760 --> 01:43:02.439 Fortnite Island and. 2158 01:43:04.239 --> 01:43:06.720 I'm sorry to cut you off, please I get it. 2159 01:43:07.640 --> 01:43:09.000 I hope this does good. 2160 01:43:08.840 --> 01:43:12.199 News like this, like, I'm. 2161 01:43:13.880 --> 01:43:14.720 Is this the end of. 2162 01:43:15.239 --> 01:43:17.680 Laura croft Is? I hope it goes the good way. 2163 01:43:18.039 --> 01:43:24.399 I fucking still loveder. I'm glad that you loved it, 2164 01:43:25.439 --> 01:43:29.479 but it I hated the original games. I really loved 2165 01:43:29.600 --> 01:43:31.079 those first two comeback ones. 2166 01:43:31.800 --> 01:43:38.520 I love that Shadow. It got a little sort. 2167 01:43:38.239 --> 01:43:42.159 Of ventured down maybe the least desirable path, I think, but. 2168 01:43:42.279 --> 01:43:46.439 That that is a really great tool for testing performance 2169 01:43:46.479 --> 01:43:49.359 on PCs. 2170 01:43:50.000 --> 01:43:55.960 Yes, that was always like the benchmark, right, you know, Yeah, 2171 01:43:56.159 --> 01:44:00.640 maybe that original game is basically unplayable by today's standards, 2172 01:44:01.000 --> 01:44:04.560 But you know what, I have a fondness of just 2173 01:44:04.760 --> 01:44:08.960 like not knowing what the fuck to do in these 2174 01:44:09.000 --> 01:44:13.439 insane dungeon areas where like the path through is some 2175 01:44:14.199 --> 01:44:18.439 completely unseeable little ledge where you just had to liken 2176 01:44:18.760 --> 01:44:21.720 to jump off the corner of a thing whatever it right, Like, 2177 01:44:22.039 --> 01:44:26.720 obviously there's rose colored lenses that are informing that opinion. 2178 01:44:26.760 --> 01:44:31.000 But where you're right, bro, where that relaunch went was 2179 01:44:31.159 --> 01:44:34.399 nothing short of a fantastic right And yeah, I hope 2180 01:44:34.399 --> 01:44:36.960 there's a bright future ahead here because there's still gas 2181 01:44:36.960 --> 01:44:37.359 in that time. 2182 01:44:37.640 --> 01:44:41.319 Speaking of bright feature, I you know that remake trilogy, 2183 01:44:41.359 --> 01:44:43.439 which I did enjoy. I think I kept getting darker 2184 01:44:43.479 --> 01:44:46.479 and darker, which I think my shadow was maybe a 2185 01:44:46.479 --> 01:44:49.199 bit much, And it made sense that direction when Uncharted 2186 01:44:49.319 --> 01:44:51.880 was happening, and it kind of already cut maybe corner 2187 01:44:51.920 --> 01:44:54.800 of the market on the bit more like fun adventure 2188 01:44:55.279 --> 01:44:58.159 side of it. Now that we're in a pretty vacant 2189 01:44:58.239 --> 01:45:01.159 Uncharted area, I hope to see Tom Raider maybe lean 2190 01:45:01.199 --> 01:45:03.680 a bit more back in that direction, be a bit 2191 01:45:03.720 --> 01:45:07.760 more you know, adventuring fun time. You know, you can 2192 01:45:07.840 --> 01:45:10.720 have obviously heavier moments, but I don't want it to 2193 01:45:10.720 --> 01:45:13.600 be Shadow of the Raider super dark. I don't need 2194 01:45:13.640 --> 01:45:16.279 to see Laura Croft getting stabbed in her thigh me 2195 01:45:16.640 --> 01:45:17.720 every two minutes. 2196 01:45:18.239 --> 01:45:21.640 Yeah, go back to that old like India Jones pulpy 2197 01:45:22.039 --> 01:45:25.159 vibe that the first couple tumors had. Yeah, I would 2198 01:45:25.159 --> 01:45:28.199 be down for a revisit to that. We might have 2199 01:45:28.199 --> 01:45:30.560 some might have some breaking news here. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. 2200 01:45:30.600 --> 01:45:34.079 There might be developments on Desert Statue Gate. 2201 01:45:34.680 --> 01:45:37.079 Yeah. I was just reading that as well, there, Mike, Yeah, 2202 01:45:37.840 --> 01:45:44.800 it's all distressed. I'm distressed because I liked the one 2203 01:45:45.199 --> 01:45:47.039 Hey like like you playing mack Troy. 2204 01:45:47.079 --> 01:45:48.760 When I was reading that news story, I was like, 2205 01:45:48.920 --> 01:45:50.159 Dan and Mike are gonna like this. 2206 01:45:50.760 --> 01:45:51.800 Yeah. 2207 01:45:51.880 --> 01:45:56.600 Unfortunately, though the new scuttle butt, thanks to a trademark 2208 01:45:57.319 --> 01:46:00.479 reveal and some logo Sheanani kansas that perhaps this is 2209 01:46:00.520 --> 01:46:07.439 related to Divinity, which was never oh never mind the 2210 01:46:07.520 --> 01:46:09.960 Larry and franchise, Oh come on, just get through is 2211 01:46:09.960 --> 01:46:12.279 so good. The next game from Larrying This is Larry 2212 01:46:12.319 --> 01:46:14.000 and that's a huge deal. It's a huge deal. 2213 01:46:14.439 --> 01:46:15.279 It's very exciting. 2214 01:46:16.119 --> 01:46:18.119 But but if they, if they do have us visit 2215 01:46:18.159 --> 01:46:20.680 their studio to play the game, we should send Dan liked. 2216 01:46:22.760 --> 01:46:26.439 Makes sense, it only makes sense. God, I like that. 2217 01:46:28.560 --> 01:46:30.880 He turned his compressor back on. Now when Yelsea becomes 2218 01:46:30.920 --> 01:46:32.119 small mikey again. 2219 01:46:34.399 --> 01:46:35.640 Yeah, you totally tear it off. And I was like, 2220 01:46:35.680 --> 01:46:36.680 I don't know if I like. 2221 01:46:36.760 --> 01:46:38.880 On Belgium, I'm the only one that can speak to 2222 01:46:38.920 --> 01:46:39.359 these people. 2223 01:46:40.000 --> 01:46:45.520 You're yeah, and you're flad be. It does look pretty similar. 2224 01:46:46.520 --> 01:46:48.840 I guess now it looks very similar. It probably is 2225 01:46:48.880 --> 01:46:51.520 Divinity and that will be a pretty big get. And 2226 01:46:51.640 --> 01:46:53.039 this is also kind of the kind of thing they 2227 01:46:53.039 --> 01:46:56.439 would do. I've not really asked around about this. I've 2228 01:46:56.439 --> 01:46:58.520 been having fun with like the mystery, and we might 2229 01:46:58.520 --> 01:47:00.279 as well just carry that forward. Now we're gonna find 2230 01:47:00.319 --> 01:47:01.600 out in two days. 2231 01:47:01.520 --> 01:47:04.000 So I'm going to the desert. I will find out, 2232 01:47:04.079 --> 01:47:06.399 all right, a man on the scene. 2233 01:47:06.840 --> 01:47:08.960 You could actually go find this like they have the 2234 01:47:09.039 --> 01:47:10.159 coordinates out there. 2235 01:47:10.920 --> 01:47:15.319 Or like a series of I'll make a transmutation circle 2236 01:47:15.359 --> 01:47:19.319 around it of like five different colored buzzballs and we'll 2237 01:47:19.359 --> 01:47:21.760 see what comes out. Okay, okay, beautiful. 2238 01:47:22.720 --> 01:47:26.319 All right, let's see anything else from the Was that 2239 01:47:26.359 --> 01:47:27.439 all from the tomb raider thing? 2240 01:47:28.560 --> 01:47:31.039 Yes?

Right? 2245 01:47:41.439 --> 01:47:43.279 But I think I think they might also talk about 2246 01:47:43.319 --> 01:47:45.439 the show at this thing.

That is a company that makes makes games. 2354 01:52:42.680 --> 01:52:46.399 The rest of these studios, who's to say, like, how 2355 01:52:46.479 --> 01:52:49.119 much interest is are any of them going to have 2356 01:52:49.319 --> 01:52:51.079 in I don't know, what's a. 2357 01:52:51.399 --> 01:52:52.640 Sort of rock study. 2358 01:52:52.680 --> 01:52:58.680 He's kind of in a weird space, a suicide squad world. Yeah, 2359 01:52:58.960 --> 01:53:01.720 travelers tail right, Like, Yeah, Lego Star Wars made a 2360 01:53:01.760 --> 01:53:02.239 lot of money. 2361 01:53:02.279 --> 01:53:03.159 That was a bit ago. 2362 01:53:03.520 --> 01:53:06.239 You would imagine the Hogwarts legacy people they would just 2363 01:53:06.239 --> 01:53:07.840 want to make another one of those that made a 2364 01:53:07.920 --> 01:53:09.000 zillion dollars. 2365 01:53:09.000 --> 01:53:12.520 But who knows, they weird don't care. In the press 2366 01:53:12.520 --> 01:53:15.520 release that came out, they didn't even mention WB Games. 2367 01:53:15.560 --> 01:53:17.920 They were nowhere in any of that. So it's like 2368 01:53:18.560 --> 01:53:21.039 small potatoes compared to what they get and everything else. 2369 01:53:21.079 --> 01:53:27.640 Apparently it would potentially also make wrestling very weird anything though, I. 2370 01:53:27.640 --> 01:53:29.760 Thought the T and T and TBS fell under a 2371 01:53:29.760 --> 01:53:32.800 different jurisdiction or something like, I don't. 2372 01:53:32.640 --> 01:53:35.479 I take it back then, Yeah, wrestling sure weird on 2373 01:53:35.520 --> 01:53:38.840 its own then, yeah, like normal wrestling. 2374 01:53:40.159 --> 01:53:42.920 Yeah, it's it's like weird, like you know, I know 2375 01:53:42.960 --> 01:53:45.319 people don't believe that some of these characters are ever 2376 01:53:45.319 --> 01:53:47.119 going to go public domain, but they've already sort of 2377 01:53:47.119 --> 01:53:48.479 won all the battles they can win with that, Like 2378 01:53:48.479 --> 01:53:50.479 Superman's going to start going in the public domain here 2379 01:53:50.520 --> 01:53:52.800 pretty soon, and I know there's always weirdness around there. 2380 01:53:52.840 --> 01:53:54.479 It's like, can only be the first version. 2381 01:53:54.239 --> 01:53:56.680 Of Superman, you can't go base it on anything since then, 2382 01:53:56.760 --> 01:53:59.680 But that stuff's going to be less valuable here and 2383 01:53:59.720 --> 01:54:00.680 that the next five. 2384 01:54:00.479 --> 01:54:01.880 To ten years. 2385 01:54:02.000 --> 01:54:04.279 And yeah, so the fact that they're doing all this 2386 01:54:04.399 --> 01:54:06.039 and then they're going to turn to these companies that 2387 01:54:06.079 --> 01:54:08.920 have primarily made superhero video games like a rock Steady 2388 01:54:08.960 --> 01:54:11.560 and then like go invest five to ten years making 2389 01:54:11.560 --> 01:54:13.920 the next one of those, I don't know. It just 2390 01:54:13.960 --> 01:54:16.479 seems precarious on all sides. And the worst part is, 2391 01:54:16.520 --> 01:54:19.600 of course the companies making these acquisitions don't even know 2392 01:54:19.720 --> 01:54:22.079 there's video games binga, let alone care about it. 2393 01:54:22.119 --> 01:54:25.760 Is Oracle, the American company that they made kind of 2394 01:54:25.800 --> 01:54:27.680 takeover TikTok or. 2395 01:54:27.760 --> 01:54:30.000 That was yes, that was the idea, Yes, yeah, you 2396 01:54:30.119 --> 01:54:34.279 got it. And then you know in Paramount is the 2397 01:54:34.319 --> 01:54:37.079 reason they're showing up now is what is their company? 2398 01:54:37.199 --> 01:54:38.960 Sky Dance is a Skydance Media. 2399 01:54:39.000 --> 01:54:39.520 That was them. 2400 01:54:39.600 --> 01:54:41.640 They acquired Paramount recently and now. 2401 01:54:41.720 --> 01:54:44.560 Skydance missed impossible, Like, I don't they like Tom Cruise 2402 01:54:44.960 --> 01:54:46.000 something related? 2403 01:54:46.079 --> 01:54:47.159 Right, Yeah, definitely. 2404 01:54:47.199 --> 01:54:48.720 I think he's like, yeah, he was like in the 2405 01:54:48.760 --> 01:54:50.560 ground floor there, but since then it seems like a 2406 01:54:50.640 --> 01:54:53.600 vessel for the Ellison family to acquire more and more 2407 01:54:53.680 --> 01:54:58.600 of American media. They would also own Oracle, CNN and 2408 01:54:58.640 --> 01:54:59.359 stuff like that. 2409 01:54:59.279 --> 01:55:01.720 After that to be fun. Uh. 2410 01:55:01.880 --> 01:55:04.039 Suda fifty one says he wants to bring back this 2411 01:55:04.079 --> 01:55:08.159 forgotten PS two game, hopefully sooner rather than later. Grasshopper 2412 01:55:08.199 --> 01:55:11.359 manufactured Ceo Guachi suit us Suit of fifty one wants 2413 01:55:11.399 --> 01:55:14.119 to bring back the Studios two thousand and four PS 2414 01:55:14.159 --> 01:55:18.680 two title Michigan Report from Hell.

What is Michigan basically? Yeah, 2420 01:55:40.840 --> 01:55:42.600 I would love to see this. I wonder if this 2421 01:55:42.640 --> 01:55:44.479 is the kind of thing that Suita just says to 2422 01:55:44.520 --> 01:55:45.640 see if he can make it happen. 2423 01:55:47.560 --> 01:55:50.720 Yeah, that man manifests very very well. 2424 01:55:51.199 --> 01:55:56.000 He does, so I'm hopeful.

Capcom's president Hairohiro Suji Moto stated in 2430 01:56:14.159 --> 01:56:17.079 a corporate report that the company plans to elevate Mega 2431 01:56:17.119 --> 01:56:19.319 Man Devil May Cry an ace attorney. 2432 01:56:19.359 --> 01:56:19.520 Man. 2433 01:56:19.560 --> 01:56:21.239 That's a bunch of you, except for how much you 2434 01:56:21.239 --> 01:56:24.399 hate Devil May Cry. 2435 01:56:25.920 --> 01:56:31.359 I don't. I've heard was good. 2436 01:56:33.039 --> 01:56:34.239 Didn't mean to put you out of the spot. Was 2437 01:56:34.279 --> 01:56:36.239 just having a fun.

It's obvious from the way that 2442 01:56:50.239 --> 01:56:52.800 they've been like treating some of these other franchises that 2443 01:56:52.840 --> 01:56:56.439 they have talked about then wanting to elevate Dragon's Dogma, 2444 01:56:56.680 --> 01:56:59.319 and it seems like they didn't include one game on 2445 01:56:59.359 --> 01:57:02.760 this stead Rising, which could reappear here any minute. 2446 01:57:02.760 --> 01:57:02.840 Now. 2447 01:57:02.840 --> 01:57:04.279 It seems they're like they want to do the Temple 2448 01:57:04.399 --> 01:57:09.439 Days perhaps, yes, in a couple of Dames Days Press perhaps, So, Like, 2449 01:57:09.920 --> 01:57:11.920 do you think they want to have the capacity to 2450 01:57:12.000 --> 01:57:12.439 do all this? 2451 01:57:12.520 --> 01:57:15.279 And what would that even look like for Mega Man? 2452 01:57:15.640 --> 01:57:17.920 That's the question, because you know they've been making Mega 2453 01:57:17.960 --> 01:57:21.039 Man products, there's been compilations, there's still a Star Force 2454 01:57:21.119 --> 01:57:23.960 compilation coming out next year. 2455 01:57:24.359 --> 01:57:26.920 Uh. You know, remaking Mega Man is weird. 2456 01:57:26.720 --> 01:57:28.680 Because it's not like, you know, even a Resident Evil 2457 01:57:28.720 --> 01:57:30.880 game where you're taking a three D game making a 2458 01:57:30.880 --> 01:57:31.479 three D game. 2459 01:57:31.800 --> 01:57:34.439 If you bothered three D game, they could remake, right. 2460 01:57:34.479 --> 01:57:36.600 Well, they're not going to remake Legends. I hope they 2461 01:57:36.640 --> 01:57:42.720 have a compilation what it. I mean, maybe maybe they will. 2462 01:57:42.960 --> 01:57:45.880 It could never give a chance. Really, that's kind of 2463 01:57:45.880 --> 01:57:46.279 the problem. 2464 01:57:47.199 --> 01:57:47.520 Mikey. 2465 01:57:47.800 --> 01:57:53.159 If Mega Man in your in your fantasy booking mind, 2466 01:57:53.359 --> 01:57:56.439 if they could redo Mega Man outside of that side 2467 01:57:56.479 --> 01:58:00.880 scrolling sort of presentation, yeah, well, what would you love 2468 01:58:01.000 --> 01:58:03.239 to see Mega Man explore. 2469 01:58:02.800 --> 01:58:06.800 It should be you should look at right. I think 2470 01:58:07.039 --> 01:58:09.319 I think Ratchet and Clink is the kind of format 2471 01:58:09.399 --> 01:58:09.920 you look there. 2472 01:58:10.039 --> 01:58:12.800 That's I think that's the franchise that is the best 2473 01:58:13.399 --> 01:58:16.359 three D platform that has shooting mechanics. 2474 01:58:15.840 --> 01:58:17.640 And that's kind of been the three platform. 2475 01:58:17.720 --> 01:58:19.840 Yeah, that's all Megan Man's saying is, you know, it's 2476 01:58:19.880 --> 01:58:21.960 the two D game where you jump and shoot. Ratchet 2477 01:58:22.039 --> 01:58:24.039 Clake is a three D game where you jump and shoot. 2478 01:58:24.279 --> 01:58:25.399 I think you look at that and. 2479 01:58:25.359 --> 01:58:28.239 You finally go and make like a really fun, exciting, yeah, 2480 01:58:28.359 --> 01:58:32.560 three D meg Man platform, that would be my dream stuff. 2481 01:58:33.039 --> 01:58:34.279 That's a great idea. 2482 01:58:34.359 --> 01:58:36.640 And then and then you you know, you arrive in 2483 01:58:36.680 --> 01:58:40.199 those battle areas where with the bosses that would be fun. 2484 01:58:40.239 --> 01:58:42.880 And yeah, you try to let desert on a motorcycle? 2485 01:58:43.560 --> 01:58:44.279 Now all right? 2486 01:58:45.800 --> 01:58:47.960 Dog right? 2487 01:58:48.279 --> 01:58:50.439 Dog with wheels? Yes, I bet we get another two 2488 01:58:50.479 --> 01:58:52.199 D game. I bet they're going to make like, maybe 2489 01:58:52.199 --> 01:58:54.439 it's not Mega Man twelve this time. Maybe we finally 2490 01:58:54.479 --> 01:58:56.720 do another X game as a bit of a throwback. 2491 01:58:57.239 --> 01:59:00.560 But I bet that happens at least first. I know 2492 01:59:00.600 --> 01:59:03.039 that you're very high on Proto Man, but where are 2493 01:59:03.079 --> 01:59:06.840 you Proto Man with zero zero's cool. 2494 01:59:06.720 --> 01:59:08.920 You got the ground like you were Clinton Eastwood. 2495 01:59:10.840 --> 01:59:13.960 Man is the first character I, as a human I 2496 01:59:14.000 --> 01:59:15.119 ever thought was cool. 2497 01:59:15.359 --> 01:59:16.560 I was like three, and I was like. 2498 01:59:16.680 --> 01:59:20.359 WHOA Mega Man has a brother and he's kind of 2499 01:59:20.439 --> 01:59:22.800 like mysterious and that's cool. 2500 01:59:22.960 --> 01:59:27.000 He doesn't smile. He means basics like if. 2501 01:59:26.840 --> 01:59:28.520 You were an edge Lord when you were like three. 2502 01:59:29.680 --> 01:59:32.039 It's like being in Ohio someone who didn't smile. That's 2503 01:59:32.079 --> 01:59:35.680 an alien that's from another play that's allowed. Yeah. 2504 01:59:35.760 --> 01:59:37.640 Yeah, guys, what we're said as a human, I mean 2505 01:59:37.720 --> 01:59:39.600 mean as a human being, not Proto Man. 2506 01:59:39.680 --> 01:59:43.119 He's a robot right coming online as a human, like like, 2507 01:59:43.159 --> 01:59:44.600 this is one of your early thoughts. 2508 01:59:44.680 --> 01:59:46.800 Yes, this is one of my earliest thoughts that I 2509 01:59:46.800 --> 01:59:49.039 can remember, is thinking Proto Man was cool. 2510 01:59:49.880 --> 01:59:51.960 I think there's a couple of different ways that they 2511 01:59:51.960 --> 01:59:54.720 can approach this too. It's like Mega Man. They could 2512 01:59:54.720 --> 01:59:57.159 do like what Sega is doing, bringing back some of 2513 01:59:57.199 --> 01:59:59.800 their properties, like giving Shinobi to a team that would 2514 01:59:59.840 --> 02:00:01.640 do a really good job with it, for example. I 2515 02:00:01.680 --> 02:00:03.359 can see them doing that with Mega Man. If they 2516 02:00:03.399 --> 02:00:06.079 wanted to Ace Attorney, they could just like put more 2517 02:00:06.119 --> 02:00:08.520 of a marketing push behind it. You know, games like. 2518 02:00:08.600 --> 02:00:10.960 Personal it takes to make it core IP like to 2519 02:00:10.960 --> 02:00:11.840 get it up there that level. 2520 02:00:11.920 --> 02:00:14.560 That's what I'm thinking is like, cause let's be real, 2521 02:00:14.920 --> 02:00:17.359 those franchises in particular are never going to get up 2522 02:00:17.359 --> 02:00:19.920 to the heights of Resident Evil and Monster Hunter, you know, 2523 02:00:20.000 --> 02:00:22.439 over one hundred million, Like they've always struggled a little 2524 02:00:22.439 --> 02:00:24.840 bit because they are a little more niche. I think, 2525 02:00:24.960 --> 02:00:27.479 just you know, recognizing how much money they're going to 2526 02:00:27.479 --> 02:00:30.520 put into it relative to how many pilburg Good buy it. 2527 02:00:30.920 --> 02:00:34.640 Finding that balance like maybe having an indie studio license 2528 02:00:34.720 --> 02:00:37.680 the IP and that sells like two million copies or 2529 02:00:37.680 --> 02:00:39.840 so on. Maybe that's what they mean as combined with 2530 02:00:40.000 --> 02:00:42.239 the re releases that they mentioned or anything like that. 2531 02:00:42.239 --> 02:00:44.840 That's what core IP is for Mega Man, whereas DMC 2532 02:00:45.520 --> 02:00:47.600 they can double down on. You know, it's key making 2533 02:00:47.640 --> 02:00:51.199 these big cinematic action games with huge set pieces and 2534 02:00:51.279 --> 02:00:53.600 production value, and that's what that can be. Like, I 2535 02:00:53.640 --> 02:00:55.520 think they can find a bounce for all these especially 2536 02:00:55.760 --> 02:00:58.399 Ace Attorney. Ace Attorney needs to be given our chance 2537 02:00:58.439 --> 02:01:01.479 to shine in a post yeah Sona popping off and 2538 02:01:01.520 --> 02:01:05.000 Don being huge with a lot of fans and stuff. 2539 02:01:05.479 --> 02:01:07.840 I think they could elevate these things in different ways. 2540 02:01:07.880 --> 02:01:10.359 You know, This Attorney was growing, Like, those collections are 2541 02:01:10.359 --> 02:01:12.880 doing surprisingly well, and I'm a little surprised that's taking 2542 02:01:12.880 --> 02:01:15.159 this long to get the next one. And I bet 2543 02:01:15.199 --> 02:01:15.840 we hear about that. 2544 02:01:15.880 --> 02:01:18.399 Pretty It definitely helps, like that the collections are out 2545 02:01:18.399 --> 02:01:22.359 there and now there are just fans of the series. 2546 02:01:21.399 --> 02:01:23.399 And they are coming sort of to the end of 2547 02:01:23.399 --> 02:01:25.199 the collection. They did come to the end of the. 2548 02:01:25.000 --> 02:01:28.279 Free Attorney, right, everything is everything is now? Yeah, yeah, 2549 02:01:28.319 --> 02:01:32.319 so it's great, pretty close. I got a question here, though, 2550 02:01:33.119 --> 02:01:37.920 did Beautiful Joe say something wrong? Did he get canceled? Yeah, 2551 02:01:37.960 --> 02:01:38.399 he's mad. 2552 02:01:38.800 --> 02:01:42.520 This is a this is disrespectful, it's too bad trail. 2553 02:01:44.840 --> 02:01:45.680 Because it's too good. 2554 02:01:45.720 --> 02:01:47.119 I don't know if I played two, but one is 2555 02:01:47.159 --> 02:01:48.399 like just a perfect game. 2556 02:01:48.439 --> 02:01:55.119 Like yeah, yeah, mumble was the problem. 2557 02:01:55.159 --> 02:01:58.159 They had some size, know, a double trouble on the DS, 2558 02:01:58.199 --> 02:01:59.680 like yeah, those were not. 2559 02:02:01.119 --> 02:02:04.039 I mean again, it's anecdotal, right, because it's only in 2560 02:02:04.079 --> 02:02:08.119 our little orbit, But I've never seen so many people 2561 02:02:08.239 --> 02:02:11.960 in our little orbit who want this right, And like, 2562 02:02:12.159 --> 02:02:15.560 if you extrapolate that, I'm sure there is a palpable 2563 02:02:16.239 --> 02:02:17.680 appreciation slash. 2564 02:02:17.359 --> 02:02:20.399 Demand for this character and this franchise, give a time, 2565 02:02:20.439 --> 02:02:22.439 maybe that'll call me team. Once they're done with that 2566 02:02:22.520 --> 02:02:25.399 in like eight years, then they'll go to Beautiful. 2567 02:02:25.159 --> 02:02:29.439 Jos plus Proto Man kind of looks like beautiful Yeah, 2568 02:02:30.000 --> 02:02:30.600 good point. 2569 02:02:30.840 --> 02:02:32.359 Good point. Interesting. 2570 02:02:32.439 --> 02:02:35.199 The problem is always capitalizing on the hype, because with 2571 02:02:35.399 --> 02:02:37.520 even a smaller one of these, it still takes like 2572 02:02:37.640 --> 02:02:40.800 three years to turn around roughly, and like, hey, maybe 2573 02:02:40.800 --> 02:02:43.279 there's a lot of nostalgia for Mega Man or a 2574 02:02:43.439 --> 02:02:45.720 Beautiful Joe or something, because like people make a bunch 2575 02:02:45.720 --> 02:02:47.960 of tiktoks and YouTube shorts and stuff, but then by 2576 02:02:48.000 --> 02:02:50.079 the time the game is out, maybe the hype has 2577 02:02:50.159 --> 02:02:52.960 died down. I think that's a trap Capcom has fallen 2578 02:02:53.000 --> 02:02:54.720 into a couple of times here, so that's probably whether 2579 02:02:55.079 --> 02:02:57.479 they've been a little anxious to have really double down 2580 02:02:57.479 --> 02:03:00.239 these series that don't sell as well. But I think 2581 02:03:00.239 --> 02:03:02.640 we're in a different different spot in general, especially with 2582 02:03:02.880 --> 02:03:06.560 Steam of becoming so much bigger and smaller releases being 2583 02:03:06.600 --> 02:03:08.960 more viable. I think that they could bring some of 2584 02:03:09.039 --> 02:03:09.439 these back. 2585 02:03:10.199 --> 02:03:12.960 All of question for y'all, do you think we would 2586 02:03:13.159 --> 02:03:17.199 sooner get a new or re release of a Beautiful 2587 02:03:17.279 --> 02:03:25.199 Joe game or Billy Hatcher beautiful Joe beautiful again. 2588 02:03:25.880 --> 02:03:29.680 Yeah, especially with his association with that criminal that's the problem. 2589 02:03:29.920 --> 02:03:34.000 Yeah, really photograph. Yeah he. 2590 02:03:35.720 --> 02:03:38.800 Mentioned crisis, not even though people keep screaming for that one. 2591 02:03:39.319 --> 02:03:39.560 Yeah. 2592 02:03:39.680 --> 02:03:41.840 I mean they were doing something a few years ago 2593 02:03:41.920 --> 02:03:44.439 and then they decided against it. I think they probably 2594 02:03:44.479 --> 02:03:47.680 discovered some like reason why they're like, it's not worth it, 2595 02:03:47.800 --> 02:03:49.439 so it's not in the front of their. 2596 02:03:49.279 --> 02:03:51.159 Minds in this moment at least. That would would be 2597 02:03:51.159 --> 02:03:53.359 my guess. Debinlee May Cry. You just make a new 2598 02:03:53.399 --> 02:03:58.840 Double Maker, yeah, sure, or you remake one something and whatever? Sure? 2599 02:03:59.319 --> 02:04:01.520 Uh oh yeah, they they'll probably will probably start doing 2600 02:04:01.520 --> 02:04:04.199 some compilations of Devil Might Cry here soon and begin 2601 02:04:04.319 --> 02:04:05.720 the process with that and then kind. 2602 02:04:05.560 --> 02:04:08.439 Of remake re releases have already been out there, like 2603 02:04:08.439 --> 02:04:11.439 the HD versions are already out there. But I can 2604 02:04:11.520 --> 02:04:13.199 remake a one I think will go a long way 2605 02:04:13.239 --> 02:04:14.479 and modern you can make. 2606 02:04:16.680 --> 02:04:22.600 Christ really? Yes? Does she like three? 2607 02:04:23.079 --> 02:04:25.520 No, that's the one she quit on. It's the best one, 2608 02:04:25.520 --> 02:04:27.000 and that genre. 2609 02:04:27.399 --> 02:04:34.439 That's the best one. It's definitely the best one. God 2610 02:04:36.359 --> 02:04:45.640 just like Assassin's Cree. 2611 02:04:45.680 --> 02:04:48.760 Black Flag Recinct has been listed on Peggy's website. A 2612 02:04:48.880 --> 02:04:51.920 listing for the long rubered Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake 2613 02:04:52.359 --> 02:04:55.960 titled Assassin's Great Black Flag Recinct has appeared on the 2614 02:04:55.960 --> 02:04:59.680 Peggy website with an eighteen rating of for violence, bad language, 2615 02:04:59.680 --> 02:05:03.760 and in game purchases and for piracy. This gets announced 2616 02:05:03.760 --> 02:05:06.079 in two days right of the game awards. Huh yeah, 2617 02:05:06.159 --> 02:05:09.960 I think makes sense. Yeah, and I could be in 2618 02:05:09.960 --> 02:05:10.880 the mood for that game. 2619 02:05:10.720 --> 02:05:12.399 That was I guess the game I enjoyed quite a bit. 2620 02:05:12.720 --> 02:05:14.319 I never checked this one out. I think I was 2621 02:05:14.319 --> 02:05:17.159 already tired of the franchise. Oh yeah, that's why I 2622 02:05:17.640 --> 02:05:18.840 just like tap out entirely. 2623 02:05:18.880 --> 02:05:21.000 The pirate stuff very cool in this, but there's a 2624 02:05:21.000 --> 02:05:23.800 party that even thinks about. Like, even though this game's 2625 02:05:23.800 --> 02:05:25.560 intro was shorter than some of the other ones, is 2626 02:05:25.600 --> 02:05:27.520 a part of me. It's like, I want to do 2627 02:05:27.640 --> 02:05:29.640 all that stuff again. I just kind of want to 2628 02:05:29.640 --> 02:05:30.520 be a pirate. 2629 02:05:30.239 --> 02:05:33.359 If only made a game that was just the pirate stuff. 2630 02:05:33.840 --> 02:05:35.800 Yeah, it could ever work, you know. I would like 2631 02:05:35.840 --> 02:05:37.680 to fight against the other pirates online. 2632 02:05:38.520 --> 02:05:41.359 The possibilities that sounds like where some of the we're 2633 02:05:41.359 --> 02:05:44.760 adding it extra a to the trip a formula. 2634 02:05:46.079 --> 02:05:48.680 A letter writing campaign, everybody and let eves know what 2635 02:05:48.720 --> 02:05:50.199 you want, all right. 2636 02:05:50.760 --> 02:05:52.560 I feel like you and I. I think our brains 2637 02:05:52.560 --> 02:05:55.000 have the exact opposite reactions when we hear that Sea 2638 02:05:55.079 --> 02:05:56.159 Shanties are involved. 2639 02:06:01.079 --> 02:06:02.880 Has got as big as silver dollars. 2640 02:06:05.119 --> 02:06:07.239 I do like thee shame the second people on the 2641 02:06:07.279 --> 02:06:08.920 boat start singing, I'm like, I'm good. 2642 02:06:09.479 --> 02:06:13.880 I saw Midnati like slowly start floating like a cartoon 2643 02:06:13.960 --> 02:06:18.680 character smelling pot twinkle toes like Fred Flintstone, Yes and stuff. 2644 02:06:18.920 --> 02:06:22.520 It'll be a I also like shanty. 2645 02:06:22.680 --> 02:06:26.000 Star Wars Night of the Old Republic two restored content 2646 02:06:26.079 --> 02:06:29.920 DLC for Nintendo Switch was shut down by Disney's illegal team. 2647 02:06:30.039 --> 02:06:32.800 The restored content DLC for Star Wars and Nights of 2648 02:06:32.840 --> 02:06:36.079 the Old Republic two on Switch was announced, but later 2649 02:06:36.159 --> 02:06:40.600 quietly canceled, sparking fan frustration and a false advertising lawsuit. 2650 02:06:40.840 --> 02:06:44.000 In June twenty twenty three, Aspired co CEO Ted Selock 2651 02:06:44.439 --> 02:06:48.920 confirmed the cancelation, citing a third party objection. Now details 2652 02:06:48.920 --> 02:06:51.960 reported by Steven Toatillo at game File, based on internal 2653 02:06:51.960 --> 02:06:55.840 communications between Aspire, Disney, and the original PC mod team, 2654 02:06:56.079 --> 02:06:59.560 outlined the reasons Disney had previously blocked restored content for 2655 02:06:59.640 --> 02:07:03.359 the twenty mobile release.

Disney initially 2657 02:07:07.359 --> 02:07:10.800 had no objection to Aspire working with Motyrs provided Aspire 2658 02:07:10.840 --> 02:07:16.119 secured all necessary rights, including for supplemental content. What happened 2659 02:07:16.239 --> 02:07:19.039 was they took that back to Disney and there was 2660 02:07:19.119 --> 02:07:22.439 people's names in the credits for these mods that they 2661 02:07:22.439 --> 02:07:24.680 were going to put into the game to fully complete 2662 02:07:24.920 --> 02:07:27.159 A Nights of the Old Republic two. They're going to 2663 02:07:27.239 --> 02:07:29.600 use this like publicly available stuff, but some of the 2664 02:07:29.680 --> 02:07:33.560 names were pseudonyms and things like that, and Disney was like, whoa, 2665 02:07:33.600 --> 02:07:36.119 we need to properly credit these people, and we might 2666 02:07:36.159 --> 02:07:38.000 need to re record some of these voice lines that 2667 02:07:38.039 --> 02:07:40.439 are done by non union actors and stuff like that. 2668 02:07:40.840 --> 02:07:42.720 And as soon as all these things started to pile up, 2669 02:07:42.720 --> 02:07:45.359 Aspires like, oh so, basically, what you're saying is we 2670 02:07:45.359 --> 02:07:47.600 can't use any of this because we're not going to 2671 02:07:47.640 --> 02:07:50.880 be able to unravel many of these problems. And that 2672 02:07:50.960 --> 02:07:54.079 became an impasse and so Disney effectively got in the 2673 02:07:54.079 --> 02:07:58.000 way and shut it down. This is not going to 2674 02:07:58.239 --> 02:08:00.199 necessarily be like all right, now, the lawsuits going to 2675 02:08:00.199 --> 02:08:01.640 get thrown out. It might be like, oh no, this 2676 02:08:01.720 --> 02:08:04.199 is a successful lawsuit. Disney at one point said, okay, 2677 02:08:04.319 --> 02:08:08.520 aspired went through on that understanding. Uh, and so this lawsuit, 2678 02:08:08.520 --> 02:08:11.640 which is for false advertising, might actually result in something 2679 02:08:11.680 --> 02:08:13.920 at this point. But I think it also makes it 2680 02:08:13.960 --> 02:08:15.920 sound like, oh, we'll just never get that stuff now 2681 02:08:15.960 --> 02:08:17.920 in an official release, so just go play it on 2682 02:08:17.920 --> 02:08:18.800 the PC instead. 2683 02:08:20.119 --> 02:08:22.520 Yeah. I bet that koetor one remake is another thing 2684 02:08:22.520 --> 02:08:24.720 we might see in a couple of days here. So 2685 02:08:24.680 --> 02:08:25.880 I don't like it, yep. Uh. 2686 02:08:26.039 --> 02:08:28.560 And then if they do that, we could see that 2687 02:08:28.600 --> 02:08:32.399 stuff in a remake of two. If that first one doesn't, well. 2688 02:08:32.159 --> 02:08:35.199 Well yeah, that's the story saying. 2689 02:08:35.600 --> 02:08:37.560 Yeah, the story saying exactly, the remake of two is 2690 02:08:37.600 --> 02:08:39.399 already happening. It's a little interesting that you would just 2691 02:08:39.479 --> 02:08:42.239 jump on that before the first one's even done. Presumably 2692 02:08:42.279 --> 02:08:43.840 it's a different team. 2693 02:08:43.920 --> 02:08:46.319 Yeah, they're so closely related in terms like it is 2694 02:08:46.319 --> 02:08:48.800 a direct sequel, And so that's why I think they're saying. 2695 02:08:48.800 --> 02:08:51.520 It's like, if we're doing this, let's that's what the 2696 02:08:51.520 --> 02:08:52.840 story is saying. This is like, let's do it all 2697 02:08:53.039 --> 02:08:55.479 in one go. I think it's it's still gonna like 2698 02:08:56.279 --> 02:08:58.439 rely on the first one doing well enough, to sort 2699 02:08:58.479 --> 02:08:59.560 of justify that going forward. 2700 02:08:59.560 --> 02:09:00.199 But we'll see. 2701 02:09:01.640 --> 02:09:05.439 Surprise Skyrim Anniversary Edition lands on switch to today. Boy, 2702 02:09:05.479 --> 02:09:08.760 they did it again. I think it's a free update 2703 02:09:08.760 --> 02:09:09.840 if you have the game on switch. 2704 02:09:10.239 --> 02:09:12.800 So there you go. Yeah once again. 2705 02:09:13.039 --> 02:09:14.560 All right, that does it for the news, Handing the 2706 02:09:14.600 --> 02:09:16.239 show back over to Jan, Folks. 2707 02:09:16.039 --> 02:09:18.119 We're going to take a quick bricky break and we 2708 02:09:18.199 --> 02:09:21.520 will be back with emails, super chats, and whatever else 2709 02:09:21.720 --> 02:09:31.000 we feel is necessary right after this break.

Hello, Oracles of the Giant Temple 2733 02:10:53.720 --> 02:10:58.039 bomb fee bomb Fire. We've had years where every game 2734 02:10:58.239 --> 02:11:01.600 had grappling hooks, or years every first person shooter had 2735 02:11:01.640 --> 02:11:04.279 a bow and arrow. What will twenty twenty six be 2736 02:11:04.359 --> 02:11:06.239 the year of What would you like it to be? 2737 02:11:06.600 --> 02:11:08.680 I'd like it to be the year of the chunky pistol. 2738 02:11:08.880 --> 02:11:11.039 I love the show, Love you all. Mike from Loveland. 2739 02:11:12.039 --> 02:11:16.159 When the summer games for TGS where every trailer for 2740 02:11:16.199 --> 02:11:18.079 like a twenty twenty six game was like a weird 2741 02:11:18.239 --> 02:11:22.119 mech suit like XO suit type thing, like yeah, because. 2742 02:11:21.880 --> 02:11:25.439 It got pragmata and it would probably be more Mega 2743 02:11:25.439 --> 02:11:26.359 Man games announced. 2744 02:11:26.600 --> 02:11:28.279 Uh, Mecca broke gosh. 2745 02:11:28.079 --> 02:11:30.840 Should even make that joke earlier. Yeah, I think Max 2746 02:11:30.920 --> 02:11:33.199 Suits is a good game. They're going to bring back Anthem. 2747 02:11:33.880 --> 02:11:35.760 I mean they put a Maxsuit in Haiti, so maybe 2748 02:11:35.800 --> 02:11:36.439 we're just starting. 2749 02:11:36.720 --> 02:11:39.039 Yeah yeah, yeah, I like this idea. 2750 02:11:39.119 --> 02:11:40.960 I think Wall Running is going to come back again. 2751 02:11:41.399 --> 02:11:43.920 Yeah. I like that. Yeah, that's what they should have done. 2752 02:11:43.960 --> 02:11:47.479 My should have had Wall Running. I think they tried 2753 02:11:47.520 --> 02:11:50.760 to make they think they tried to make spells happen, 2754 02:11:51.279 --> 02:11:51.960 Like what was that. 2755 02:11:52.079 --> 02:11:59.079 Very visually busy game, Immortals of a Yes, that was. 2756 02:11:59.199 --> 02:11:59.760 I see you that. 2757 02:12:00.439 --> 02:12:02.800 I think like some Square Enix investor put together some 2758 02:12:02.840 --> 02:12:05.279 report on what the company is doing wrong. I think 2759 02:12:05.319 --> 02:12:08.479 Force Spoken costs significantly more to make the final Fantasy 2760 02:12:08.600 --> 02:12:10.720 sixteen really. 2761 02:12:10.720 --> 02:12:15.439 Jesus, but very very good handling resources. Their scout please 2762 02:12:15.560 --> 02:12:20.680 what's going on, Scott? Please? Also smart pistols, basically anything. 2763 02:12:23.039 --> 02:12:23.920 Make it the Year of Titan. 2764 02:12:24.840 --> 02:12:27.600 Yeah, there we go. God, remember when we played that, 2765 02:12:27.800 --> 02:12:29.399 like was it a year ago or something? It was 2766 02:12:29.439 --> 02:12:35.119 still great? Great, So we should just make that a 2767 02:12:35.159 --> 02:12:37.439 holiday tradition right now? 2768 02:12:37.640 --> 02:12:37.880 Sure? 2769 02:12:38.239 --> 02:12:43.199 Yeah, okay, all right.

PS Happy related birthday, 2775 02:12:58.479 --> 02:13:01.840 Dan best So thank you, Josh. Yeah, that's gotta be. 2776 02:13:01.920 --> 02:13:03.560 Let's go pikat your ev right shung. 2777 02:13:03.880 --> 02:13:08.159 Yeah, Like it always depends on the platform. Whenever people ask, like, hey, 2778 02:13:08.840 --> 02:13:10.880 my first Pokemon game in twenty five years, what schuld 2779 02:13:10.880 --> 02:13:13.279 I play? I'm like, dog, you got you gotta specify. 2780 02:13:13.359 --> 02:13:16.159 There's so many platforms you may or may not have 2781 02:13:16.199 --> 02:13:18.039 and everything like this, so we're gonna ask the question. 2782 02:13:18.079 --> 02:13:20.000 This is great. Yeah, if you're looking for the best 2783 02:13:20.000 --> 02:13:23.239 one on the Switch one, let's go Pikachu and the 2784 02:13:23.279 --> 02:13:25.920 ev mic is right, that's probably the best one overall 2785 02:13:26.000 --> 02:13:28.720 for anyone to get into, especially because there's co op. 2786 02:13:28.720 --> 02:13:31.279 If you're getting your nephews this game play together, Yeah, 2787 02:13:31.279 --> 02:13:33.960 they can both play together. They they throw a poke 2788 02:13:34.039 --> 02:13:36.560 ball together. It actually like combines into the higher tier 2789 02:13:36.640 --> 02:13:39.439 poke ball and has a better chance of catching. And 2790 02:13:39.479 --> 02:13:42.680 it's also just a great Gen one remake it's just like, 2791 02:13:42.720 --> 02:13:45.199 you know, a good old school RPG, just with some 2792 02:13:46.159 --> 02:13:49.319 niceties that really bring into the Maron era. It's a 2793 02:13:49.319 --> 02:13:53.920 great place to start. But also legends Za is it 2794 02:13:54.039 --> 02:13:56.600 runs well enough on the Switch one for what's trying 2795 02:13:56.600 --> 02:13:59.239 to do, and that's a very really fun game. So 2796 02:13:59.640 --> 02:14:02.439 maybe as like their second Pokemon game, that could be 2797 02:14:02.439 --> 02:14:05.680 a good one. Uh, you know, like Scarlet and Violet 2798 02:14:05.680 --> 02:14:08.000 are going on the switch too, not on the Switch one. 2799 02:14:08.159 --> 02:14:10.479 Same with Archeus. Archius is rough around the edges on 2800 02:14:10.560 --> 02:14:12.560 Switch one. So yeah, I think definitely stick with the 2801 02:14:12.640 --> 02:14:16.079 Let's Go games and if they get really into Pokemon 2802 02:14:16.520 --> 02:14:19.319 as a franchise, maybe explore some spinoffs, you know, like 2803 02:14:19.640 --> 02:14:23.279 I think Pokemon Snap is evergreen and New Pokemon Snap 2804 02:14:23.520 --> 02:14:25.199 you just pick up that on the Switch as well. 2805 02:14:26.159 --> 02:14:30.439 Yeah, one hundred percent agreed on Let's Go Pikachu or Evy. 2806 02:14:31.119 --> 02:14:34.079 Next email comes from Travis and Fargo. Travis sens in 2807 02:14:34.119 --> 02:14:37.319 five questions. I only read one of them. Travis writes, 2808 02:14:37.600 --> 02:14:40.479 I talk to my kids seemingly on a weekly basis 2809 02:14:40.600 --> 02:14:44.760 about the mental and emotional emotional benefits of experiencing boredom. 2810 02:14:44.800 --> 02:14:47.920 Sometimes what's a boring or tedious task you don't mind 2811 02:14:48.039 --> 02:14:48.960 or even enjoy. 2812 02:14:49.880 --> 02:14:51.560 I think that's part of the reason I don't really 2813 02:14:51.560 --> 02:14:53.359 listen to like podcasts and stuff is because, like I 2814 02:14:53.399 --> 02:14:55.399 think a lot of people will listen to it while 2815 02:14:55.399 --> 02:14:59.039 they're doing other things, and I don't like to distract 2816 02:14:59.039 --> 02:15:01.399 myself in that way. Like there's saying you'll hear a 2817 02:15:01.399 --> 02:15:03.079 lot of like meditation books and stuff where it's a 2818 02:15:03.560 --> 02:15:05.680 wash the dishes, to wash the dishes, like it's a 2819 02:15:05.720 --> 02:15:08.720 boring it's a tedious thing, but like it's good for 2820 02:15:08.760 --> 02:15:10.680 you to occasionally just like you know, you don't always 2821 02:15:10.720 --> 02:15:12.640 have to have stimuli and things just going in your 2822 02:15:12.640 --> 02:15:14.439 brain all the time. So like that's why I'm you know, 2823 02:15:14.520 --> 02:15:16.159 we joke about the like movie thing with the phones 2824 02:15:16.199 --> 02:15:17.920 and stuff like that, but there's a reason that's important 2825 02:15:17.920 --> 02:15:18.079 to me. 2826 02:15:18.800 --> 02:15:18.960 You know. 2827 02:15:19.000 --> 02:15:21.279 I go on walks and sometimes I listen to Deadlock, 2828 02:15:21.359 --> 02:15:22.840 and a lot of times it's just like, no, I'm 2829 02:15:22.840 --> 02:15:24.479 just gonna walk and I'm just gonna focus on the 2830 02:15:24.479 --> 02:15:27.359 walk and not be distracted with things. So yeah, no, 2831 02:15:27.439 --> 02:15:28.800 I totally track with that. 2832 02:15:29.680 --> 02:15:35.039 Yeah, yeah, oh god, what's he all right? Fine, I 2833 02:15:35.079 --> 02:15:36.000 won't talk camera. 2834 02:15:37.600 --> 02:15:42.119 Yeah, I enjoy like occasionally just throw myself into the task, 2835 02:15:42.399 --> 02:15:44.840 although at like some things it's like, oh, cleaning the 2836 02:15:44.840 --> 02:15:47.439 house is so tedious to me, and not tedious, it's 2837 02:15:47.479 --> 02:15:50.520 it's just like I have dopamine issues. I have ADHD, 2838 02:15:50.680 --> 02:15:52.640 so it's like doing it is like a whole thing, 2839 02:15:52.960 --> 02:15:55.680 And if I can get dopamine from like a podcast instead, 2840 02:15:55.680 --> 02:15:57.800 I can sort of fake my way into enjoying it. 2841 02:15:58.520 --> 02:16:01.119 But there's so so many other things that I was like, Oh, no, 2842 02:16:01.199 --> 02:16:03.239 it's good to just be bored sometimes, and I do 2843 02:16:03.560 --> 02:16:05.319 tell my kids that, so you know what, you guys 2844 02:16:05.359 --> 02:16:07.159 need to just get away from everything else. Just go 2845 02:16:07.199 --> 02:16:09.199 be bored for a little bit. That's something that you 2846 02:16:09.279 --> 02:16:11.880 are almost never experiencing, and it's probably. 2847 02:16:11.680 --> 02:16:14.279 Not good for you. I like being present with Scout 2848 02:16:14.279 --> 02:16:15.920 and when I go take her out for a walk, 2849 02:16:16.039 --> 02:16:18.720 not saying that it's tedious. You know, she needs the exercise, 2850 02:16:18.800 --> 02:16:20.960 needs to go use body, But like I don't know, 2851 02:16:21.039 --> 02:16:24.319 I like basking in the neighborhood with her and talking 2852 02:16:24.319 --> 02:16:26.560 to her, even if she may not understand or she's 2853 02:16:26.560 --> 02:16:28.159 ignoring me like a little jerk. 2854 02:16:28.279 --> 02:16:31.880 She can be, I think, right, I want to sneak 2855 02:16:31.880 --> 02:16:34.079 in one that jan you'll understand where I'm coming from. 2856 02:16:34.079 --> 02:16:37.959 With this a bit of a different direction. Editing is tedious, yes, 2857 02:16:38.200 --> 02:16:42.760 but it's it's fun when you are able to incorporate 2858 02:16:42.799 --> 02:16:46.639 your creative ideas into an otherwise tedious task and when 2859 02:16:46.680 --> 02:16:49.479 you have that finished product of oh yeah, I pulled 2860 02:16:49.479 --> 02:16:52.040 that one off. That feels good, Like it's a really 2861 02:16:53.280 --> 02:16:55.600 satisfying moment, and you get that all the way down 2862 02:16:55.639 --> 02:16:57.840 to you know, like washing the dishes and like feeling 2863 02:16:57.840 --> 02:17:00.799 that satisfaction. Well, the dishes are done, go on walking 2864 02:17:00.879 --> 02:17:03.760 like I feel reinvigorated. It's nice to be able to 2865 02:17:03.799 --> 02:17:06.000 find that in your work when you can as well 2866 02:17:06.040 --> 02:17:08.680 to like make the day go by. That's why I 2867 02:17:08.760 --> 02:17:11.719 chose this career path is because sometimes the tedist things 2868 02:17:11.760 --> 02:17:14.639 can end up in a very satisfying place. 2869 02:17:15.760 --> 02:17:18.520 Yeah. I like having that hyped moment after completing a 2870 02:17:18.799 --> 02:17:29.760 task of like your Aaron from Warren, Pennsylvania, PA is yes, yes, 2871 02:17:30.200 --> 02:17:32.879 what else could it be? Are there any other states? 2872 02:17:33.159 --> 02:17:36.520 To start with? P Good evening Bombinos out of the 2873 02:17:36.520 --> 02:17:42.440 fab five Virginia Jeff Jeff, Mike who is the best 2874 02:17:42.440 --> 02:17:47.440 gamer also who also best at games? Aaron from Warren, Pennsylvania. 2875 02:17:48.719 --> 02:17:51.440 I think Mike is the best at games in that 2876 02:17:52.159 --> 02:17:53.440 you put a game in front of him, I think 2877 02:17:53.440 --> 02:17:57.719 he's going to figure out before anyone. Yeah, But like 2878 02:17:57.760 --> 02:18:00.319 I was like, in terms of best gamer, I think 2879 02:18:00.319 --> 02:18:02.559 that like it's there's so many different things where so 2880 02:18:02.600 --> 02:18:03.799 one of us is going to be out in front 2881 02:18:03.840 --> 02:18:05.799 of the other. Like we could put a leaderboard in 2882 02:18:05.840 --> 02:18:08.200 any game, and I don't I really don't know who 2883 02:18:08.280 --> 02:18:09.760 would come out on. Yeah, they just be like who 2884 02:18:09.799 --> 02:18:11.159 can dedicate the most amount of time too. 2885 02:18:11.239 --> 02:18:14.600 I think to put into terms that you know, some 2886 02:18:14.639 --> 02:18:17.520 people will understand, I think he's kind of like the 2887 02:18:17.719 --> 02:18:20.239 Justin Wong of the group, where it's just like he's 2888 02:18:20.239 --> 02:18:22.799 playing so many games, a variety of them, Like there's 2889 02:18:23.040 --> 02:18:25.239 there's a little bit of natural skill with like being 2890 02:18:25.680 --> 02:18:28.319 like good reactions and like mashing something good processing. 2891 02:18:28.360 --> 02:18:30.040 I think he just processes information. 2892 02:18:29.680 --> 02:18:32.639 Exactly where it's like he's just good at rioting games. 2893 02:18:32.639 --> 02:18:34.639 For me, it's more specialized of like yeah, you know, 2894 02:18:34.680 --> 02:18:36.719 I'll speed run a game that I really love, or 2895 02:18:36.760 --> 02:18:38.520 I'll play a lot of runs of something that I love. 2896 02:18:38.559 --> 02:18:41.479 That's how game into like higher level Super Mario sixty four, 2897 02:18:41.600 --> 02:18:43.840 crazy Taxi stuff like that. But I think Mike is 2898 02:18:43.879 --> 02:18:45.920 definitely more like the Swiss Army Knife of he's good 2899 02:18:45.920 --> 02:18:46.760 a bunch of things. 2900 02:18:46.559 --> 02:18:48.680 So he's really liking this. He's nodding a lot as 2901 02:18:48.719 --> 02:18:51.639 we're talking about how good as a game Quiet. 2902 02:18:52.040 --> 02:18:53.360 It's like it's everything he wants to hear. 2903 02:18:53.760 --> 02:18:56.280 I think Mike is the best gamer and also the 2904 02:18:56.319 --> 02:19:00.879 most gamer. Yes, he's definitely the only one that could 2905 02:19:00.920 --> 02:19:01.280 do a gag. 2906 02:19:01.319 --> 02:19:12.079 I disagree. I know what you mean, Danny, It's all right, 2907 02:19:12.399 --> 02:19:16.799 gang Uh. Moving on. We have two very lengthy emails 2908 02:19:16.840 --> 02:19:23.159 about recommendations. One is in regards to SKA Mace from Tacoma, Washington, 2909 02:19:23.360 --> 02:19:26.959 right Sin, Hey, Gang. I enjoyed the SKA discussion dis 2910 02:19:27.000 --> 02:19:29.920 Goosh from the Dumb Truck this week. I'm a lifelong 2911 02:19:29.920 --> 02:19:31.879 fan of the genre, and as I was listening, I 2912 02:19:31.920 --> 02:19:34.680 remembered an email from some time ago where your listener 2913 02:19:34.719 --> 02:19:38.000 recommended some metal albums for the crew based on their personalities. 2914 02:19:38.719 --> 02:19:42.239 As a lifelong fan of both Skankin and Giant Bomb, 2915 02:19:42.399 --> 02:19:45.280 I figured I could do some the same for music's 2916 02:19:45.319 --> 02:19:50.280 most unfairly maligned punk subgenre. Backlar, you know your stuff 2917 02:19:50.319 --> 02:19:53.520 about third waves, third wave and early two thousands, So 2918 02:19:53.559 --> 02:19:56.760 I'm gonna make a recommendation from the modern scene. Kill 2919 02:19:56.879 --> 02:20:00.440 Lincoln and their twenty twenty album Can't Complain. It's got 2920 02:20:00.440 --> 02:20:02.120 a bit more of a punk edge that I think 2921 02:20:02.159 --> 02:20:05.120 will appeal to your Alkaline Trio sensibilities, and I'll give 2922 02:20:05.120 --> 02:20:07.079 you the bragging rights of being able to name drop 2923 02:20:07.120 --> 02:20:10.639 another cool band most people haven't heard of Jan as 2924 02:20:10.680 --> 02:20:12.719 a pop punker at heart, I gotta go with Jeff 2925 02:20:12.799 --> 02:20:17.079 Rosenstock's twenty twenty one scot Dream, a Scott Hell Yeah 2926 02:20:17.120 --> 02:20:20.200 reimagining of his excellent twenty twenty pop punk record No 2927 02:20:20.360 --> 02:20:23.760 Dream You Want Millennial Sad Boy. No one does it 2928 02:20:23.799 --> 02:20:27.520 better than Jeff Rosenstock. He takes the unfortunate economic realities 2929 02:20:27.559 --> 02:20:30.079 and mental health struggles of our lives in this increasingly 2930 02:20:30.159 --> 02:20:33.319 fascist society and turns it into bangers. Oh that's the 2931 02:20:33.319 --> 02:20:35.879 Little Guy A little too real for me, Mace Grub. 2932 02:20:36.319 --> 02:20:39.799 You mentioned only being tangentially aware of Streetlight Manifesto, So 2933 02:20:39.920 --> 02:20:42.680 for you, I recommend their two thousand and three album 2934 02:20:42.840 --> 02:20:46.520 Everything Goes Numb, one of my favorite albums of all 2935 02:20:46.600 --> 02:20:50.000 time of any genre. It's frantic sounds and striking lyrics 2936 02:20:50.040 --> 02:20:51.959 will probably hit you in the right spots for your 2937 02:20:52.000 --> 02:20:55.000 ADHD brain to keep it engaged just as it does 2938 02:20:55.040 --> 02:20:56.360 with mine was. 2939 02:20:56.479 --> 02:21:00.559 What was the name of the album again, Everywhere Everything 2940 02:21:00.639 --> 02:21:06.120 Goes Numb? Thank you, street Light manifesto. 2941 02:21:05.959 --> 02:21:08.959 And if the themes of Baby Steps really resonated with you, 2942 02:21:09.200 --> 02:21:11.399 songs like a better Place, a Better Time and Point 2943 02:21:11.479 --> 02:21:15.840 Slash Counterpoint will likely do the same. Manadi, Hey, I 2944 02:21:15.840 --> 02:21:19.319 feel your ska awareness is mostly tied to Tony Hawk's 2945 02:21:19.360 --> 02:21:22.479 pro Skater two, so I'll recommend a recent album with 2946 02:21:22.680 --> 02:21:26.680 a sound that captures those vibes. Jar's two thousand and 2947 02:21:26.719 --> 02:21:32.959 three album Bothered Slash Unbothered. That's JR J E R Yes, 2948 02:21:33.239 --> 02:21:36.799 which is a very high energy and very socially conscious. 2949 02:21:36.840 --> 02:21:39.479 So you don't have to worry about getting canceled again. Now, 2950 02:21:39.680 --> 02:21:43.639 if the album doesn't work, that's what again he gets stress. 2951 02:21:44.479 --> 02:21:46.559 And if the album doesn't totally work for you, I 2952 02:21:46.719 --> 02:21:50.600 at least recommend Jairr's YouTube channel, SKA two Network, where 2953 02:21:50.639 --> 02:21:53.360 they make ska covers, a video game music, cartoon theme 2954 02:21:53.399 --> 02:21:57.200 songs and more. Very good. Finally, Dan, I gotta say 2955 02:21:57.360 --> 02:22:00.840 I was surprised. Dan surprised Dan to learn is a 2956 02:22:00.840 --> 02:22:01.959 fan of Scott in any. 2957 02:22:01.840 --> 02:22:04.399 Capacity because it's frist I'm not is. 2958 02:22:04.399 --> 02:22:06.600 The kind of thing he rolls his eyes against ad 2959 02:22:06.600 --> 02:22:09.680 for not being cool guy stuff. I know Dad is 2960 02:22:09.719 --> 02:22:11.959 express fun. It's for heavier bands like Queens of the 2961 02:22:11.959 --> 02:22:14.840 Stone Age and Masdon So. I recommend the nineteen ninety 2962 02:22:14.879 --> 02:22:19.879 six landmark debut record of The Suicide Machines Destruction by definition. 2963 02:22:20.239 --> 02:22:23.680 You'll definitely learn now album the song new Girl from 2964 02:22:23.680 --> 02:22:27.000 the original Tony Hoksper Skater that's also got jams as 2965 02:22:27.200 --> 02:22:30.879 Hey Van's song Sos break the Glass a high energy, 2966 02:22:30.920 --> 02:22:32.920 good time from front to back.

Do you have 3007 02:24:28.479 --> 02:24:32.360 any good tips, tricks or rex for the Animal Kingdom 3008 02:24:32.440 --> 02:24:35.399 launch and how to best use my time there and 3009 02:24:35.479 --> 02:24:37.280 experiences we have to do. My daughter will be for 3010 02:24:37.399 --> 02:24:38.000 when you travel. 3011 02:24:38.159 --> 02:24:40.879 Thanks John, Oh, okay, your daughter's gonna be four. There's 3012 02:24:40.920 --> 02:24:44.360 great restaurants at the Animal Kingdom Lodge and your daughters 3013 02:24:44.399 --> 02:24:48.120 for the buffet, Boma might be your best bets. 3014 02:24:48.120 --> 02:24:49.680 I went. I had breakfast at Boma. 3015 02:24:49.920 --> 02:24:52.399 It was very nice. I feel like you for more 3016 02:24:52.399 --> 02:24:55.959 of a date night thing. Uh uh jigu the Jicu 3017 02:24:56.159 --> 02:24:58.520 right yeah. The eating place is good Sonaw which is 3018 02:24:58.520 --> 02:25:01.319 over a little bit other part of the hotel. That's 3019 02:25:02.040 --> 02:25:04.760 the Kadani Village. The Jambo House is the main section 3020 02:25:04.840 --> 02:25:06.680 Kadani Village. You might ta get in a little shuttle, 3021 02:25:06.840 --> 02:25:09.760 but that's where Sanat is. That's a great restaurant that 3022 02:25:09.799 --> 02:25:12.159 has very good bread service. You get a bunch of 3023 02:25:12.200 --> 02:25:16.079 different non breads and different dips for them. If you 3024 02:25:16.079 --> 02:25:18.120 you know, if you don't have the view into the 3025 02:25:18.120 --> 02:25:20.680 savannah where the animals are roaming around, just make sure 3026 02:25:20.719 --> 02:25:22.319 you go to some places around hotel where you can 3027 02:25:22.360 --> 02:25:26.559 look around at that. Keep in mind that if you're 3028 02:25:26.559 --> 02:25:29.920 going to theme parks from that hotel, travel time can 3029 02:25:29.959 --> 02:25:32.360 be a little bit long because you've got to use buses. 3030 02:25:32.399 --> 02:25:36.479 There's no monorail or any other fun transportation. It's just buses. 3031 02:25:36.959 --> 02:25:39.799 But don't be intimidated. Buses are very very convenient. That's 3032 02:25:39.840 --> 02:25:41.840 what we had to do, and it was very convenient. 3033 02:25:42.079 --> 02:25:43.719 And if for some reason you're like, oh, but we 3034 02:25:43.760 --> 02:25:45.159 got to really make sure we get to this theme 3035 02:25:45.159 --> 02:25:47.600 park in the next ten minutes, then get it left 3036 02:25:47.600 --> 02:25:49.479 to get an uber, pay like, you know, fifteen bucks 3037 02:25:49.479 --> 02:25:49.680 for that. 3038 02:25:49.760 --> 02:25:51.440 If you're a little bit court. It's a little bit 3039 02:25:51.440 --> 02:25:53.360 tough with a four year olds, especially with a small kid. 3040 02:25:53.600 --> 02:25:55.840 The car seats, but you can also in that area 3041 02:25:55.879 --> 02:25:57.719 there are going to be ubers that will have car seats. 3042 02:25:57.879 --> 02:25:59.000 You can request that in the app. 3043 02:25:59.079 --> 02:26:01.200 Yeah, if they have their own things in the lift. 3044 02:26:01.239 --> 02:26:04.520 If the lyft specifically has something called mini vans, you. 3045 02:26:04.440 --> 02:26:07.399 Can that are made for the those things. 3046 02:26:07.440 --> 02:26:10.280 But yeah, just in general, when you're saying at resort, 3047 02:26:10.280 --> 02:26:12.200 make sure you give yourself some time to hang out 3048 02:26:12.239 --> 02:26:12.639 the resort. 3049 02:26:12.799 --> 02:26:15.559 Get Zebra domes. You can find them at some of 3050 02:26:15.559 --> 02:26:18.079 the quick service things. They are called Mara even maybe 3051 02:26:18.120 --> 02:26:22.040 the gift shop is. They're a specialty dessert item. They 3052 02:26:22.040 --> 02:26:27.399 look like little zebra shaped kind of shaped but pattern desserts. 3053 02:26:27.399 --> 02:26:29.639 They kind of taste a little teara massoui.

I think I had fifty somethings. Absence 3170 02:33:01.680 --> 02:33:04.040 is just from cutting class. I used to cut class 3171 02:33:04.239 --> 02:33:06.040 just because I had to take a dump penis see. 3172 02:33:06.040 --> 02:33:08.120 I feel like, oh yeah, if. 3173 02:33:07.959 --> 02:33:10.959 I had cut class like choice, I almost certainly would 3174 02:33:11.000 --> 02:33:12.680 have just like they would have just called my parents 3175 02:33:12.719 --> 02:33:13.799 and I'd be in a ton of trouble and that 3176 02:33:13.799 --> 02:33:15.479 would be it.
