Speaker 1: It's the Internet. You're busy, Let's do this. Welcome to
the Gamestracides podcast. This is the podcast where we decide
everything about the world of games, so you never have
to think for yourself.
Speaker 2: With me is all right? My host Jeff Robin with
me is I have a best up? That intro forever
all right with me is Mike Manati.
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Mike. How you doing great?
Speaker 2: It's episode four hundred, Jeff, you can believe that. I
can't actually four hundred. Really, we've done four hundred of these.
How many podcasts I've gotten to four hundred episodes? Like
it's but it's like, yeah, yeah, you're right podcast, You're right,
you're right.
Speaker 1: It's like one percent at most. Honestly, it's probably a
lot less than that. Even Hey, congratulations, Dan, We've you know,
we did this from the beginning. It's not like I
replaced someone else with you know, we we were here
the whole time. This used to be Game Games Beat
Decides when we worked at games Bet together, and then
when I left, we made a game Mesticides.
Speaker 3: Because they they never actually did anything for this podcast.
Speaker 2: This is mine. Uh yeah, I just took away to
say something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like, I like, I paid for this myself
the entire time, all the hosting, everything. I never like
refunded anything through work, So I'm like, gonna, that's not
gonna happen. Uh, But I'm glad we're still doing this show.
I've always really enjoyed it. We don't have anything special planned.
Speaker 2: No, not even close. I didn't know until today when
I made the thumb Nail incredibly busy as Jeff coming up,
we own a website. Now I'm learning how to sell merchandise,
which is me taking to it the one time my
mother has ever understood her been impressed with what I do. Wait,
did I show her the story listening listening or something? Oh?
I just explained to her, like, yeah, I had to learn
like how to like you know, get our like online
store ready to sell t shirts. And she was like,
are you going to be a millionaire? No, he's very
impressed with this, apparently.
Speaker 1: I actually I can't wait until we get to the
point of this arc where you have like really strong
opinions about Shopify, Like.
Speaker 2: Right now you're learning it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm looking forward to like a year from
now when someone brings up Shopify and you're like, motherfucker,
don't get me started.
Speaker 2: Far. It's all been good so far. I've I've been
gelling with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh, you know, there's not too much to it,
but there's a lot of like just weird arcane ways
that it works. You just got to poke around and
you've been doing that, so it's it's been exciting. I'm glad,
Like as soon as we got those lessons, it's like,
all right, now we could do it and people should
be able to look in the store over there pretty
soon and see some cool stuff.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I'm hoping by Monday, So no promise is to everybody,
but I've got I've got four items kind of ready
to go that I think look cool. Maybe this week
I could figure out another one, maybe a hat, because
right now, three shirts and something else and there's you
know those handful and we need to actually look through
some research on this, but I would like them figure
this out for SGF week and GB at night. But
there's some older items that were like.
Speaker 1: We could just liquidate these pretty quickly and like maybe
put them on sale even So yeah, some fun stuff
happening over there as far as Game Mess goes, thank
you everybody for supporting us. In today's episode, we're gonna
do Ea Cancel's Black Panther. What the hell is going
on with Mind's Eye. I'm curious to hear if you

All right, big topics of the week? Are you ready,
Mike Minati? Yeah, yeah, it cancel that Black Panther game.
Was this on your radar?
Speaker 2: Maybe it's the samanage because it's like, boy, part of
it has gotten a little bit kind of clumped together
because there are a bunch of superho games that were
kind of announced that once, and it was like, I
guess at some point we're gonna to hear about some
of those who was making Wonder Woman and who was
making Iron Man, and who was doing Black Panther, And
then there's another Black Panther game. And meanwhile it's like
not even just Superhero but just these kind of big
licensed games in general. Like we saw Ubisoft kind of
winning hard with that, right, like we have a big
Avatar game and a big Star Wars game, and after that,
Ubisoft like we're doing worse than ever. So that maybe
wasn't the strategy, but he has already been pulling back.
They aren't diving deeper into Star Wars, right. They kind
of seem like they're you know, they they're doing the
Tactics game, so that's something. But you kind of get
the sense there that once they do that, and once
they may do this third Jedi game, I don't know,
maybe they're done. They don't seem super excited about the
possibility of doing a Battlefront three, even though I think
I would like that, but it is I don't know.
It's very shocking. Still, EA seems to be canceling more
games than it announces these days. They spun up a
whole studio to do this. Layouts every couple of weeks
at this point now because they close this studio that's
responsible for this as well, which was a new studio
that kind of started up with people I think that
used to be at mon I can't remember the Monoliths,
but one the one that did d yeah Middle Earth
Shadow in the Middle Earth, Yeah yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The thing here is I'm kind of like over when
I do reporting and I hear like the thinking of
the people at the top when I'm like, huh, that
doesn't sound right to me, but they must know better.
Speaker 2: Than I do done with that.
Speaker 1: I think because this was a situation where for years,
You're right, I was hearing uh them them saying you know,
or it was it was filtered down to me from
the leadership through other sources that oh, yeah, licensing IP
is the way to go because it's risky to do
so to create a new IP, and it's risky to
license and IP, but it's less risky and they're both
just about the same amount of costs because it takes
a lot of money to.
Speaker 2: Sort of build up a new IP and get people,
you know, used to the idea.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, sure, but I don't know what
licenses can really break through. That seems actually more risky
than making something cool and new and something that you own. Now,
of course that is still incredibly risky. We saw that
happen with Concord. But I just when I was like
hearing like EA's like, yeah, we're done like going back
with our mirrors, edges and stuff. We're going to start
doing all these marvel things. My gut tells me that's
not a good idea. Uh, And I think they kind
of can't wrapped around that.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Did they come to the same conclusion that I was
having at the time. Probably not, because it seems like
they're just like, we're backing off of this because it's
a single player narrative game and it's not like one
of our live service things that has already succeeded before,
So we're just going to keep investing in that, which
seems like the plan for EA at this point, which
has been the plan for EA previously.
Speaker 3: They've done, They've said that before.
Speaker 1: I've been and investor calls, you know, before the turn
toward IP was hey, we're we're all in on live
service games.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: They gave a list of games that they were sort
of going to like focus on, and it's Battlefield, the
Sim's Skate and Apex Legends. That was like it was
like a definitive list too, like not, I mean, I
suppose they were leaving the door open for other stuff.
Of course they were, but it's like, I don't know,
just calling out those four games, and obviously there's the
EA Sports games as.
Speaker 2: Well, and they even bring up, like, are Star Wars
games there? Right?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Right?
Speaker 1: It feels like you know they're going to finish out
the Star Wars Jedi trilogy and then they'll be done
with that, and then they have the Star Wars Tactics
game that that response working on with the partner studio.
Speaker 2: What about Iron Man? Like is that iron Man? Yeah?
Speaker 3: What about any of this other stuff?
Speaker 1: And like, you know the things that these games have
in common over here, Battlefield, SIMS, Skating, Apex Legends, is
they all have some sort of ongoing component. Like they're
building Skate to be this hangout game that's gonna have
a ton of micro transactions. We'll see if that actually
ends up working. But yeah, I don't know. How are
you feeling overall about EA's.
Speaker 2: Future when people were mad at you because he said
they weren't gonna make Dead Space too, and they just
didn't want to believe you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, I do remember.
Speaker 2: I always remember, Jeff always, I appreciate it, have things
that you're right about. Boy. I wish they would. I
wish Motive would just get to make this IRONMN game,
give it best shot, and then do that. But I
feel like they're either gonna get pushed onto some kind
of live service thing or just get canned unfortunately. To Yeah,
I mean that strategy, Jeff, Okay, Apex Legends already well
passed its prime battlefield. Good luck, You've had two misses
in a row there, and like, I know you're trying
super duper hard this time, but what is like the
what does that mean? Does it mean? That doesn't mean
that they didn't try hard last time, because of course
they did, and just adding pressure and resources to something
doesn't necessarily turn it into a diamond. So I'd be
pretty scared about putting a lot of eggs in the
battlefield basket, especially when you know Call of Duty has
still just been trudging along. Fine, it's gonna be harder
than ever to get people that excited off of that.
They're not going to do Titan Fall, unfortunately. The SIMS
is the SIMS, sure, and that's gonna be fine. I
don't know. I don't know what the strategy at EA
is aside from a slow and aconizing death to be honest.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know this will be the first battlefield under
like Vince Zampella's tutelage.
Speaker 2: I guess. So that does seem to be.
Speaker 1: One of the reasons that they're going all in on
it again is because well, we have a new idea,
we have a new strategy. The Call of Duty guy,
the Titan Folk guy, the guy that you know founded
Infinity Ward and then founded Respawn. Now he's going to
save Battlefield. I get the thinking there, but I just
fundamentally there's things about Battlefield that just seem a little
antiquated in terms of making it make sense in a
post Fortnite world. And you know, it's not made sense
since Fortnite. You know, there's not been a lot of
Battlefield games that have come out since then, but the
ones that have, they feel like they've missed or they
just again didn't make sense.
Speaker 2: So, you know, make that game really fun to play. Sure.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that turns it into the answer
to EA's problems. I think it's you know, we keep
coming back to that idea of these big publishers having
a lot of problems and looking for the answer and
a handful of games, and maybe the reality is there
is no answer to solve all of their problems, and so.
Speaker 2: It really is the slow and agonizing death. I don't
know all right, Mind's Eye Game from Leslie Benzi's guy
that like was the director and all the Grand Theft
Auto games that everyone cares about.
Speaker 1: He you know, left after they broke up because they
didn't want to pay him for doing awesome work on
GTA Online, at least in his opinion, started a new
studio called Build a Rocket Boy was going to make Everywhere,
which is going to be this creation platform, and or
maybe it was everything. I think it was Everywhere, And
then since then they're like, well, we also have this
other game.
Speaker 2: It's called Mind's Eye. It's like an open world action
game starting. Some of the looks like jay Usso and kind.
Speaker 1: Of near future with like military weapons but kind of
you're running around doing missions whatever.
Speaker 3: The previews have been lukewarm at best.
Speaker 1: Lot concerns about it being buggy and feeling unfinished and
kind of like aimless in some ways and not like
any sort of huge advancement over.
Speaker 3: Call of Duty or the Call of Duty Grand Theft Auto.
Speaker 2: And then.
Speaker 1: You know it's also it's incorporating some of those Everywhere
platform features in some way. No one really knows how
that's going to work.
Speaker 2: I guess it's going to be map creation stuff for
some of the multiplayers. Whatever.
Speaker 1: This is a game that seems like it's in a
weird place, and then it's out in two weeks, all right, So.
Speaker 2: We had a little bit of a technical issue. Let's
get back into it.
Speaker 1: Everybody Leslie Bensay's Games a game of Mind's Eyes out
in two weeks. There is some other stuff where people
are reporting that's a terrible place to work, and there's
some glass door ratings saying that the leadership is toxic
and unethical. The co CEO was in discord talking about
how the previews that were not super positive were paid propaganda.
Speaker 2: By you know who. He didn't just go, he didn't say.
Speaker 1: Rock Star take too, but he's like, you could probably
figure it out if you think about it. I bet
they're real concern over there. Yeah, uh huh right, and then,
uh listen. I wouldn't put it past some people to
be petty. But the idea that like all of these
previews are bought and paid for is insane. It's just
an insane thing to think. But it sounds like maybe
this place is run by people who are insane. So
mine's eye always giving me like this thing just looks
like it can't possibly be the game that they want
it to be because they wanted to be a grand
Theft Auto equivalent and for as much as like they're
bringing a ton of talent and a lot of money.
Speaker 3: It actually takes a lot more than that to make
one of these games.
Speaker 1: So my expectation was always like, maybe, at best it's
like an interesting and kind of fun experiment that does
feel janky and unfinished. Now I'm getting the sense that
it's like I think someone said in chat, what was
that kind of scam Steam game that was about zombies,
the end of the world or whatever.
Speaker 2: I vaguely remember that.
Speaker 4: I don't remember the name Behind or something like that
day before.
Speaker 2: Left like the you know, Left Alone. It was like, yeah,
it was like a Last of Us sort of rip off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, either way, it feels like that, but with a
bigger budget. Yes it was left Behind or no, the
day before Day Before, that's what it is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, Christian.
Speaker 2: I I don't I think this is going to be
a monumental flop.
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a huge sort of misstep.
I don't know, what do you think?
Speaker 2: I mean? I remember this game got announced. Gosh was
it an SGF itself or something similar?
Speaker 3: It got announced it Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 2: And again at the time, I once to do this
because like, wow, it's that guy who did GT Online
that's why gt if I was actually a success. I
had no ideas was supposed to come out soon because
there has been not much buzz. I mean, people were
GTA six announced delay and that seemed to only make
more buzz for it, right, Like, even though we are
a year away from that game. I don't think something
that's supposed to be kind of like it can escape
that black hole, especially when it's just apparently not doing
anything to really get noticed or stand out. It's not
going to go doing wand previews and then the whole
trying to say that it's a psyop or something. Right,
you're being sabotaged. That's never a great look. That just
makes you look kind of like pathetic losers. So that's
not gonna help.
Speaker 1: But that's the first place your brain goes. It makes
me think that's probably as a shitty place to work.
I bet there are there's like suspicions from leadership about
the way the press is treating you. I bet internally
when they're all that ones cutting your paycheck, it's even worse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, yeah, it's not exactly instilling a lot
of confidence. YEP.
Speaker 1: I will be curious to see what happens with this
thing when it launches, although you know, switch to will
be out by by then. I wonder if this thing
actually doesn't even make many waves at all, And if
it does make waves, I think it'll be because it
turns into a train wreck and becomes like YouTube fodder
or something like that, or you know, embarrassing gifts on
social media, something like that.
Speaker 2: All cow as a game? Yep?
Speaker 1: All right, Uh, Mike, talk about Persona. What's going on
with Persona four?
Speaker 2: It's been weird, man, because like the Persona four remake
has not been announced, we all think it's happening, and
I think all obviously thought. I think it's happening sooner
than before, because there's like websites registered and one four
dot or Persona four read dot co dot GP or
something like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, oh, you know, maybe they're doing this
even before six. I guess that makes sense. They remade
Persona three that was also a PS two game. Now,
Persona four had Golden, which was on Vita and had
some lot of nice new features and some aesthetic upgrades,
but still not that different from looking like a PS
two games. There's still plenty of reasons to remake its
add some nice quality of life stuff, get rid of
the homophobia, the transphobia, and the fat phobia. There's all
sorts of phobia, that's right. And you know, recast the
recast the voices. It's what they did with Persona three
reale And there were some people initially who were a
little weird out by that, and then when they played it,
everyone's like, ah, these these new people are great. There's
a few people like I miss this person doing this
voice or that person is generally it was good, so
it's not a surprise that they would recuss their doing it.
But your loan thaws that that's the name correct, Spider Man.
It was the voice of Yoska in the original game.
It's kind of like, you know, one of the first
party members you get is like the main character's best
friend and a guess gives us anounce just on like
like Twitter, like, well, they're not bringing me back, even
though I beg to be yos K in the persona
for do You Make And I was like, well, that's well, one,
we figured they wouldn't because they didn't for anybody in
Persona three and two. It's weird that you're saying that
this game's unannounced and everybody had like a whole day
to say how weird it was, and then the voice
actress for Chia, another character in the game, was like,
I'm not coming back either, and I'm like, what's going
on here? This is really weird. I don't think you're
I don't think you should be doing this, And I
don't blame them for being bummed out or disappointed about it.
But one, it's either they don't know that the game's
not announced that suit especially Chia, because there was a
whole day of everybody talking about h or two. It's
like they're they're working together to be like, we're gonna like,
we're gonna like all complain about this and we're gonna
get you know, power the people right not realizing that,
you know. I think generally everybody's gonna be okay with
the recasting because they did a good job at Persona three,
and also, you know, Persona four was like seventeen years ago,
and those are teenagers you're voicing, and I'm fine with
them recasting. Honestly. It's again, I don't blame them for
being a little disappointed or upset about it. I think
this weird public drumming is a little weird. But boy,
I guess that PERSONA four remake is definitely happening, then, Uh,
it certainly seems that way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think I do think these actors are
deliberately trying to sort of sabotage that a little bit,
which I mean.
Speaker 2: Maybe money in chat saying like maybe it happened to
Uri or Yuri did his weird thing, and then the
Chia voice actress was maybe just getting a lot of
messages on social media. It's like, I guess they must
have announced the new voice. Then I guess I'm just
I don't know. That's probably right, honestly, because like you know,
there's a day of people reacting to Uri.
Speaker 1: It's very like I didn't see that. I wonder if
the actress for Chia saw that.
Speaker 3: Probably not.
Speaker 1: Actually, she probably isn't on her phone looking at reactions
from fans all the time because that's pretty stressful.
Speaker 2: So she herself was already the second voice for Chia
because they recast when they did Golden Even so, there's
a character's game, Kanje, who was voiced by Troy Baker
in the original and in Golden and then when the
spinoff started happening, then it became Matthew Mercer all of
a sudden. So you know, I bet some of it
is like, hey, some of these people that did these voices,
they're a lot more expensive now, yeah, Matthew to be expensive.
Yeah right, And I don't know, you know, I don't
know if that was the reasoning back for Persona three,
but you know now that they got away with it
in Persona three and people generally liked the new voices, fine,
of course they were gonna do that here.
Speaker 3: Matthew Mercer ended up doing Gannon in Tears of the Kingdom.
Speaker 2: Yes, he was Gannon. It was pretty good. It's pretty good.
It was pretty good. It's a little weird to be like, wow,
Gannon Dorf is saying full sentences. Yeah, yeah, sure, for sure.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna read this one now. Willie Jenkins super chests.
I also found out I wouldn't be playing or voicing
a character like yeah, I guess we could all do
this same tweet if we wanted to. I've just found
out I'm not gonna be a voice in Persona four.
Speaker 2: It's true. I guess I haven't found out I might
have a chance.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I don't even have an agent to
tell me that they have not talked to me yet,
so I guess I can't even say that. All right,
all that aside, you're thinking Persona four remake gets announced
sooner rather than later, Like what's going Like it feels
like it's funny.
Speaker 2: It wouldn't it be funny. This is like years away,
it's already kicking up this dirt. But it might be.
I mean, if that's what's happening, they're recording voices, it
could still be a little bit Wait, they do that
generally kind of early, and the process, so I guess
a little bit less early for English vo of a
Japanese game. I'm not exactly sure the process. I'm not
necessarily expecting to see this at SGF next week, for example,
although I mean we we could, but it still seems early.
I mean, Persona three reload is only about a year
and a half old. But again, it seems like they
started this project maybe right after Prisoa through reloaded, maybe
even concurrently. Again, Persona three and four are kind of
sister games on the PS two right already, so a
lot of that tech is going to be very easy
to transfer over to this remake.
Speaker 1: Dragon Quest one and two HD two D remake arrives
on October thirtieth, coming to switch to Yeah, we talked
about this at some point somewhere, but yeah, I'm happy
to see this. I'm good like just them giving it
a date and be like, oh, it's coming in October thirtieth.
I wonder if a lot of these dates that do
feel like they're kind of breaking out now are a
lot of companies being like, we wish we would have
had like a bigger way to announce some of these things,
but we were waiting for Grand Theft Auto, so let's
just announce it.
Speaker 2: This is not the only game to just sort of
get a weird date.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to place the other there was another one
that got into October date recently.
Speaker 2: I'll figure it out. But yeah, you're excited about this
one as well, right, very excited. I liked the Dragon
Quest three remake a lot, but that was a game
i'd actually already played before. I've never played one and
two one, especially such an important seminole game, you know,
and they did a lot of great stuff with that
three roomakes in terms of aesthetics, and even like the
small stuff that they did add a little bit of
extra story, spice, a little bit of voice. I think,
not too much of it at all, which is not
what you want, right, but it was appreciated. Yeah, I'm
gonna have a good time playing through both of these.
You know, it's for us to toe like I like
getting a little closer, like, oh, I've played all the
dragon Quests right because right now I've played three, five, seven,
half of eight and eleven, so I got a ways
to go.
Speaker 1: I meant to play some more three and never. You know,
it's hard for me to make time for RPGs these days.
If I was gonna do that right now, obviously.
Speaker 2: Be clear obscure at their thousand yeard door after them.
Speaker 1: That's like I said, that's gonna be when I'm gonna
finish on the switch too, and I'm looking forward to it.
But yeah, I'm Glad'm glad these drating quest games are
getting this treatment, and I think that your general feeling
about them kind of slowly getting through the rest of
these is correct.
Speaker 2: I'm glad we are getting that switch to version because
Dragon Quest three on the Switch one actually like wasn't
running at sixty frames per second. Right, so not a
huge deal for this genre, but I'd rather did so
I get playing on my switch to instead of having
to go to steam Deck or rag Alley or something.
Speaker 1: The other October game I was trying to think of
was Pokemon Legends ZA, which doesn't fit that thing. They
probably were not waiting for Grand Theft Auto to move
to announce that. They probably don't even know about Grand
Theft Auto over there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're just gonna do what they're gonna do. But yeah,
there's your October switch to game, kind of your big
holiday switch to game. There might still be a November
It probably will be.
Speaker 1: There won't be anything bigger than Pokemon Legends now, yeah, it'll.
Speaker 2: Be like air Riders are hier Warriors saying that might
be something new we'll see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's sounds like they're gonna have like a
game a month, which is seems to be what Nintendo
likes to have. And you know that what game month
does not mean a Mario every month. It means any
number of things across the several tiers of budget for
a game. New Final Fantasy nine art I didn't add this.
Speaker 2: What is this so that twenty fifth anniversary website for
Fromptasy nine just added more character art, like a new
piece of art for each of the party members, leave
it like little bios there. They's kind of added this
out of nowhere, and come on, Jeff, like, why would
they like slowly drip all this fancy stuff into this
web page? Just has to be building up to something. Personapoor.
I don't know if that happens next week. I really
want to see this Final Fantasy nine remake at some
point during this Summer game Fest, where Enix has been
involved with SGF quite a bit in the past. It
could show up at the Xbox thing even whenever Sony's
gonna do something gonna be there, could be its own thing.
They could just tweet it out whatever. I want to
finally see this thing. Yeah, I'm like, is Square Enix
on that list of partners like that? Jeff Keey tweeted
the state they were the last few years.
Speaker 1: But I'm sure, well, I guess I'm not sure they're there.
There are reasons they might not want to try, Okay,
Jason Bonelli says, yes they are. Thank you, Jason, appreciate it.
Shout out to you.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Jim.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this thing should just get announced that Summer game Fest.
That feels like the exact right kind of game for
a Jeff Keey Summer Summer Game Fest live stream.
Speaker 2: You know, it's something that he would like. It would
pop that audience.
Speaker 1: It would also expose it to a lot of people
who are watching because they just watched the Jeff Kiley things.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, I hope it's ready. And it's been so long,
we've heard about it for so many years. How much
longer can it possibly take? Yeah? Who don't really have
any other Final Fantasy ninth or Foul Fantasy projects coming
out soon that we right, you know, there's some that
we know are on the horizon. Foul Face seven Part three,
there's gonna be another Foul Facy fourteen expanch, that there's
gonna presumably be a fount Facy seventeen sometime, and even
that Tactic freemake, but none of that is imminent, right, Yeah,
all that there's a gap.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's definitely a time where we were getting
a lot more you know, uh, every kind of game
from Square Enix or a lot of other kinds of games,
and a lot of Final Fantasy projects. So this does
feel like a little bit of a lull awaiting something
like a Final Fantasy nine. So yeah, I'm I think
there's a chance for that. You know, I really don't
know what to expect for some from Summer game Fest overall,
but something like.
Speaker 2: That feels like it makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 3: I'm pulling for you, Mike. I hope it happens. What's that, Christian?
Speaker 5: No way, this is like something like Final Fantasy seven remake,
not even closed.
Speaker 1: No, No, it'll be one game. It'll just probably happen reload, right.
Speaker 2: That's the that's the style you're going for. I don't
like what it is. I think that Crisis Core game,
I think is another good possibility. There may be that
one is going like more of just updated assets. There
will be more than that here, because you know it'll
have things like voice acting.
Speaker 4: Now like seven what was the No? Seven? Twelve? The
age of what was it again?
Speaker 2: That was just that was a pretty basic remiss. It
will be a lot more than that, honest, a little
more than no reload. That's that's that is what a
will most likely resemple.
Speaker 1: All right, that does it for the headlines. We're gonna
take a break we're gonna come back. We're gonna do
super chats, and then later in the show we're gonna
do the mount rushmore of a brash and loud video game.
Speaker 2: Dudes.
Speaker 1: We'll get all of that to all of that here
real soon. Right after this, we are back the mess
the sides and we're in chat.
Speaker 2: Christian is what Mike wants to know about the allamraicle thing.
Speaker 5: Oh she said that you can't skip over hurts.
Speaker 2: Chat. There we go, noted speaking of super chats, Mike,
can you give me if ivor and read those sure
thing here? Starting with Simon from Saskatchewan says still in
the hospital, the cancer surgery went well. Thanks so much
for the well wishes from the community. Talk to your
doctor and get cancer screen. Thank you so much, Simon
and Elliet. Good advice for everybody. No reason to wait.
Hope things continue to go well for you. Thank you. Yep.
Speaker 1: I am three years away from prostate exams and I'm
looking forward.
Speaker 2: To it every day. I'll tell you what that's a
good thing about crones is I've had a lot of
those already.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, you got you got them out of the way. Well,
And this good thing about having a friend with crones.
I can be like Mike, talk me down. Just tell
me it's going to be fine. Tell me this is
going to be not a big deal. So I got
another one in July.
Speaker 2: It's fine. There you go, Simon. I want to know, like,
you know, you could hit me in the discord or something.
What are you playing? Like if you or do you not?
Speaker 1: Do you have energy to play like games or whatever?
Like I want to I'm interested to hear like how
you're trying to stay with stick with gaming while you're recovering.
And if you can't, that's cool too, but just yeah,
hit me up. I'm curious.
Speaker 2: Nathan Maloney says, hey, meet men. And the reporting on
EA and Marvel, there's talk of a third game. What
is this? F four? Who could it be done by?
And is it even real? Thanks? What F four? B?
So can you say the beginning part again? I was
trying to follow recording in the reporting on EA and
Marvel there's talk of a third game? Yeah, what is this?
F four? Who could be fine? That'd be fantastic for Mike. Oh,
that fantastic for right?
Speaker 1: Sorry, I remember if I ever heard what this is
or not? I feel like I did, and it didn't
move me very much. If I did hear about it,
because I didn't remember it, I'll ask about it. But yeah,
there was supposed to be a third Marvel game.
Speaker 2: I just can't like not think of something like that
Avengers game when I think about a fantastic for a game,
right right? Oh yeah, for sure. They even had Missus
Marvel and that he just is like a stretchy person.
So I don't know what. Yea, it should just be
like an Ultimate Alliance like, but I don't know what
they would do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'll look into it, but boy, I just feel like
none of those games feel like they have much of
a chance.
Speaker 2: We'll see. Do you think the Iron Man one does
not at all?
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit more of a chance,
just because I think they do want to keep Motive around,
you know, ea, publishing separate.
Speaker 3: From the A Sports.
Speaker 1: It does feel really lost, but I don't think they're
like so lost that they're gonna scrap everything. So it's like,
let's let Motive continue to cook through this and we'll
see how it does. And then that could be the
bell weather of which direction we go Do we go back?
Towards a dead space for them, or do we go
more ip for them. I think iron Man will kind
of be the Yeah the Bellweather.
Speaker 2: There I would I sure would just like to have
a game that basically had that anthem flying, but in
a good video game and a single player game. But yes,
I would enjoy that. Okay, some more from Simon who
says the CDA Zelda games need playing for Blake Club
for history purposes, but two of them are so bad
they're good since you have majority of rulesism now I
elect Bechlar make good contests. Plus it's great to see
them on more streams again, plus needs punishing for sneaking
to old bike episodes. Yeah, but there's three of them
and there's three of us. It just fits. I really
like the drawing lots thing to see who gets which
of the three ZDS games. We could think of some
other hell for backlar me more. Doesn't that guy doesn't
care about Zelda? All right?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: I don't think Well, I mean, yeah, he played a
lot of Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the
Wild with with Dibb, and I know they were like
taking turns and that was very special to them. I
don't know if that translates to them caring about CDI
old Zelda games or whatever. Yeah, yeah, drawn straws or
some sort of punishment system where one of us gets
the worst one because we didn't do the right thing, and.
Speaker 2: The worst one is the Zelda's Adventure, right, So like
nobody wants that one. So that is the one people
don't want, because I agree. The other two do seem
to have a lot of so bad they're good energy,
Now that still means they're bad and they're worthy. Like yeah,
so yes, definitely over Blood had that and it was
still really fun to watch you play, and it was
still kind of frustrating and whatnot.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, there was definitely I hated most of
that game, even though it wasn't far from the worst
thing that I played.
Speaker 2: Let's see here now, Jamie hard against is crazy to
think we'll be playing Mario Kart World during episode four
Andred one. Yeah, the switch to launches a week today.
Ye yeah, I was like one of the things I
was considering when I was like, eh, what should we
do for this episode, I'm like a mount rushmore to
kind of like maybe send off Mario Kart eight cauz
it it can finally like sleep now sweet Prints, it
has done its duty and there will be a game
here to replace it.
Speaker 1: And boy, I'm excited for the switch too. I am
really looking forward to having that thing. In fact, I'm
like thinking, like we've been talking about all these things
we're gonna do for fun at GB at night, I'm like,
we should also just have Mario Kart somewhere in the
background so people can play that, because that would be fun.
Speaker 2: Next up is Big Fresh thirty seven. It says you're
locked in your beautiful goofs last week you promise to
do Captain Toad the switch to version did in fact
at online co op. Now it's confirmed to be true,
right down, sucker, that could be fun.
Speaker 3: I'll do it. Yeah, we'll go stream that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we'll stream some Captain some Captain Toad co op. Yeah,
I think there's a fun name. We could do that.
But yeah, captaind Captain Chod's because there's two of us. Yeah,
kept perfect, Big frushtratceu off. It also says Battlefront two
pop like eighty percent due to Fortnite, right, well, uh,
it's because the Fortnite stuff, is that why? People were
going to Battlefront two again. Oh right, all the Star
Wars stuff in in Fortnite. I don't know. Wouldn't people
just play Fortnite to get that Star Wars stuff. I
don't know if they need Bathfront for that. I'm like
not ready to credit like some people were crediting and
or and I'm like, look, I would love it if
that were true.
Speaker 3: I just don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't think so. It doesn't seem like the content
where people are like man and were on the best
TV shows ever made.
Speaker 3: Now let me go play this video game.
Speaker 2: I just Rex says, I was watching voicemail Dump Truck
today and if you guys ever try to explain D
and D to Dan again, I am canceling my membership.
I know treats with me. I could see the pain
in his eyes. You're right, like this is just we
knew what we knew it when we were doing it too,
Like we knew like this is not good content. We
have to stop, but we like to help ourselves. Look,
I have to defend myself because he legitimately thinks that
I'm weirder than him sometimes because I don't like apples
and he doesn't. He's not sure if chocolate is sweet,
and just doesn't understand what's even the point of playing
Dungeons and Dragons as if it's like such a completely
different alien concept to so many of his interests in
hobbies like video games and wrestling.
Speaker 5: Wrestling issues Dungeon and Dragons with like sweaty Dudes is
like this.
Speaker 2: Where the booker is the DM like yeah, absolutely, like
just what thing was like? But what if the DM
decides to go crazy? I'm like, yeah, what if anything happened?
What are you talking about? Yeah? What if the booker
decided something crazy? Wrestling happens all the time and you
like it? Yeah, what if what if someone flipped the
table in Monopoly? Like like, what are you talking about?
I don't know? And he wait, no, it really is.
He just doesn't like it instinctively, and like it's kind
of working backwards from that a little bit. It's a
it's a record thing, isn't it.
Speaker 5: If you're if you're a member of UH Premium and
John Baum, I'd strongly recommend people to go watch that
tabletop session they did where Dan tries to play D
and D and that shit is.
Speaker 4: Pretty pretty.
Speaker 5: I don't know what I don't know what the war
say would have to be an offensive to be honest.
Speaker 2: It's good, right, I mean this does come up or
once in a while. That's why I did have to
like kind of maybe show everybody because this comes up
once a while, Like, oh, we should make damp play
D and D. You don't want that, it's not gonna
be funny.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: The gv on plug from twenty fifteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah it is.
Speaker 5: You people, go watch it and then come back to
me and tell me what you think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I want to take a look. You
go to a live watch of it some time. Next
up here is from a deep big fresh Gain who says,
in roughly fourteen hours, Multi Versus Dies, what a weird
short life for that game? Huh yeah, two lives too right,
went down way later. Yep, there's like initially all that's
exciting for it, which I never would I from the
beginnings like, I don't quite I don't quite get it.
You're in a smash slut, Yeah, and I think I
know why Smash brother is still doing pretty well and
this thing is dying in fourteenth No, you're right, you're
not wrong. Yeah, I I don't know.
Speaker 1: They definitely did not give that game the best chance
with like their expectations for it to be like an
equivalent to Smash, something that they could tease new characters
for and everyone freak out the way they do for Smash,
and then give it this this business model that was
never really gonna work for it, like just sell a
video game.
Speaker 2: Come on, I.
Speaker 5: Play a lot of this game, by the way, and
I think the gameplay was fucking cool as fuck and
sad that a lot.
Speaker 4: Of people like it.
Speaker 5: They said that they're killing it, then they brought it back.
It's like cool, and now they're killing it again. It's like,
come on, leave it alone.
Speaker 2: I should never They should have never put it on
a break. It was just never going to regain with
Mets again. That. Yeah, they should have just like kept
it going the way it was. Either do like a
real beta or but not that like beta that was
really no different from actual game launch, including with monetization, right,
and like then try to act like that was some
test and then the real launches later you launched the game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like when it wasn't working the first time, they
should have just the chain should have been like we're
gonna let this beta continue to run out, and then
we're going to finish it, and we're going to sell
you a product. We're going to put a price on
this thing as a finished game and sell it to
you because we recognize it's not going to be able
to sustain itself as a service game.
Speaker 3: And I bet it would have done okay.
Speaker 2: Big Fresh also says tomorrow Marvel Rifles drops their first
new character service since Emma Frost. Boys, be careful, be
on your best behavior. How big is this character's size?
Who is it? I don't know. I'm not allowed to know.
I don't want to know. Keep those away from me,
all right? Never done right by me? Yep, here they
are there, We go sticky. It says more variations of
Blakeney Club like blightening around or great how about one
person chooses a game for the other two and race
to be the first losers punished. Yeah, we don't, I don't.
We don't want to go on that too often. One
of the problems that, like our other big idea is
Blake Forever, which is just like somebody has to play
really long game, and that would almost have to be
kind of concurrent with normal Blake clubs. I don't think
people want normal Blake Club to go away, so while
I played Quest sixty four for six months or something, right, So, yeah,
at some point we'll just do another round of Blake
Forever too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we'll do We'll do Blightening Round at some point,
you know, after a couple of rounds going around again.
And then there's always like packses where like you know,
we've done the one time that we did the Blake
Club that was actually Blake Club because the last one
turned into something else. You know, we played a multiplayer game.
It was a party game. And there's other kinds of
stuff we could do, Like there's this White Men Can't
Jump game that I think is a two v two
basketball game that's really terrible for the Atari Jaguar, and
I'm like, man, I would love to play that on
Blake Club, But how does that make sense? Well for
something like that, it might. So we'll do some fun
stuff and off shoots at like live events like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Pax West is coming up upsettingly soon. Actually, we're
going to start thinking about that as soon as we
get back from SGEF. Really really, oh my god, I
didn't know that. Yeah, yeah, yes, sorry, yea.
Speaker 1: Thank you, for apologizing. You need to get this one good.
All right, that'll help.
Speaker 2: Next up is ep idiot Buck says, I have a
year and change to plan a comic con at the Zoo.
I'm way down to these government funds to fly you
guys to play terrible games. Well I want to go
down anyways. Oh my god, wait a second, you get
you see what's ha? Well wow, well when this is con,
this is great, this is fantastic. The government can pay
for us to go to al Passo to have a
panel at a comic con at the zoo where my son,
Tokoto the penguin lives. Now we can hang out with
him and we can get water burger. Okay, well you
really sold me.
Speaker 1: But the idea never mind, I'm not gonna go that
way of like what you needed to do at a
rainforest cafe to have a penguin son.
Speaker 2: But that's not the rainforest animals.
Speaker 3: Penguins, but they're not real.
Speaker 2: They don't count. They I don't have souls. I'm excited
about all this. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, listen, if you want to do a panel at
your comic con, we're playing Blake Club games.
Speaker 2: You got it, We'll do that. Yeah, we'll talk about
your box sends me pictures every now and then of
the penguin. I just I find it very amusing that
there's a penguin named Tolkoto. Oh, it's incredible. I'm very
excited about this. And people said I would never have
a son.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: The kids are calling it anointings. I'll call it alcohol
acaust very good. Gwynn the Hunter says, bad news. Guys,
the iconic dark Souls one Bus, Orson and Craig aren't
in Night Rain. It does have some cool docs of references, though,
like Aretorius the Penis Walker, I don't remember that subtitle
for him.
Speaker 2: I'll shouts out to Orson and Craig anyhow, lex Lettie says, Uh,
game with Here Deliberations is next week already. Yeah, I'll
do it. Jeff feel about Game of the Year right now.
I don't know.
Speaker 1: Uh, the God probably still blueprints for me. I feel
like I've not been able to keep up with all
the games I need to keep up with, and so
it might only get worse. Although I'm hoping there's some
gaps in the year so I can like find time
for Expedition thirty three.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you right now you're gonna have to
play some more Expedition thirty three.
Speaker 1: You know what, Honestly, that's awesome to hear that, Cuz
I'm right now I need an excuse to help me
pick one game to stick with, and hearing something like that,
it's like, awesome, Now I have my reasoning to justify
myself to actually sit down and play that game.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna do that. I really like that game.
Speaker 2: If since the old E three days, I've worked more
in a forty eight hour period than I did today
and yesterday, and I still stayed up till three am
playing Clear of Scare last night because I got to
the end of X two and I just couldn't stop.
The game never stops cooking. I cannot believe how good
it is. Even with all of the hype and kind
of having to catch up to the hype, it is
still so breaking fantastic. I love that game.
Speaker 1: I've seen people talk about how some people are overlooking
the luminous system. Is there, like, is that something that
you've engaged with much at this point, or and maybe
a character you haven't got? Okay, everybody does that. When
I get there, I'm gonna ask you for a crash course,
and you can just tell me.
Speaker 2: What I should be doing. Great, it's yeah, just basically
keep equipping to things and yeah, I'll tell you which
ones are good. Don't worry about Okay. Cool. Next up
is from the Chartered Wolf that says been playing through
the Mafia games and loving them. If you guys ever
played these games before any excitement for the old Country,
I've always been weird with Mafia and any Mob related stuff.
You know this, Jeff, It's not realistic enough for you.
You've seen it up close, so just of the mob,
and I get like the medi itself isn't necessarily necessarily
glorifying the Mob, but so many other things is. And
it's something about it just skes me off, Like there
are a bunch of jerks of the Mob. I don't
want to be these people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I've watched enough popular and entertainment that I
do think it's It's a genre of entertainment I find
very captivating.
Speaker 3: And yet the Mafia games.
Speaker 1: Have never really won me over, even when I've really
wanted wanted them to. Remember, the first press account I
ever got was for on Live, the streaming service, and
they had they had Mafia two on there.
Speaker 2: I'm like, fuck y, I'll play Mafia two on this
and then I don't think I've ever touched on Live again,
let alone Mafia two after a couple of sessions, easy
to get so shoot hot about on live. Yeah, that's right.
You're like, this shit's never got to take off, and
you that's right, You're right. We're still talking about it today, like, yeah, right,
a lot better. It's wild that at two thousand and
six people are like, it's here, it's here right now,
ready to go on live.
Speaker 1: It was surprisingly well when you think about it being
like almost twenty years ago or whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess here we go from oh alcoholic Coaust
who says happy four hundredth episode, Christian and Sean, Mike
and Jeff. You have all made the last few years
very gay, messy up the Giant Bomber's among you a
fun SGF which two in a week. Wow, to think
about peopo it is. I'm pretty excited. You know, I
see some people on being like this is the least excited.
You know, it doesn't feel like a console's coming up,
blah blah blah. You know, some people always gonna firl
that way, but not me. I'm very pumped. Yep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited about all this stuff. I'm ready to
be there, ready to see people. Honestly, doing GB at
night is a big thing where it's like, oh, well,
you know, I just go this, do this thing, do
this one thing, see cool people, talk to them. And
I feel like, even if that's all I did, It'll
be a worthwhile trip. And yet, and I'll make an
appointments for stuff on the day where I have a
little bit more time getting ready to see a bunch
of cool stuff. So yeah, I'm feeling excited. And then
every night we're gonna get to go back to you know,
the Airbnb or whatever, and we're gonna have our switch
tos and maybe I'll spend thirty minutes with that and
That'll be great.
Speaker 2: Ce Jay says. Last week, Mike said he has other
weapons in his house to defend himself. Can he clarify this?
He's he a shoot ninja. I am not a ninja,
but yes I am. I am ready and prepared to
defend myself, Jeff is all I will elaborate on that. Yes, Like,
he's not gonna tell you all the weapons he has
access to if you were to come into his home.
But he does have a slew of weapons.
Speaker 1: Also from Cody Owens and chat and I'm gonna do
I'm gonna do the whispering your thing like a third
persona before voice actor has hit the towers and said
the thing a third one.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'll look it up. We'll see, Cody, is
that real? I think they think they got a strategy here, Jeff, Yeah,
I think you're I think they're cooking.
Speaker 3: I think they might be colluding, you know.
Speaker 2: Oh, I never even let Yukiko's voice. Oh my god.
I think I think that they think that there's gonna
be like real like rubble rousing amongst the fans about
them not being brought back and like they're gonna make
something happen here. I don't think the fans are gonna
care that much. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have no insight to this, so it's interesting
to hear that. Okay, I'm yeah, I believe you. So
they they are just miscalculating here, you think I.
Speaker 2: Think they're miscalculating that asset. I mean, maybe you can
help me here. Aren't they gonna get in trouble? I mean,
I yeah, right, Like, are don't they have agents telling
them don't do this.
Speaker 3: Other companies won't hire you now.
Speaker 2: Right, Like I think they don't necessarily have a like
some signed agreement with Atlas, right, And maybe they don't
because if at List never like had no audition again
or blah blah blah. If they just you know, if
they heard through the Great Fund that they were casting
for these roles and they asked them and they said, yeah,
we're not bringing you back, and I guess they guess
they can do this. It seems inadvisable. Yeah, right.
Speaker 1: Obviously legally they must not have signed any NDA because
there was never no conversations at all.
Speaker 3: That's what it seems like. So they aren't going to
get like sued.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's inadvisable because other companies are going to
know they do this now. And it's like if you
hire them and then one day you have to replace them,
they're gonna come at you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, see, I'll tell it. Maybe URI can
get away with a little bit. I don't. I don't know.
I don't know know as much about the other two.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess the more of them that do it,
the better it helps them because it's like, well, maybe
it doesn't.
Speaker 3: I don't know, because it's like that makes.
Speaker 2: It more stink. Maybe it's the same thing we're now
like maybe now the Yukio voice actors got just bombarded too,
and it's just like, I don't know, I haven't heard anything, right,
I guess we have the exact tweite here from her.
I'll try to find it. Give me a second while
you continue over here. Mm hmmm, uh let's see, I'll
where where were we up weapons? Here's the next one
from Geo Huey flow. Are we going to be able
to get the Mickey ears means a production shirt anytime soon?
I need to confuse my coworkers by saying Mike is
Carl Marx. We tried to do it on over here. Yeah,
some reason the games stores never liked it at first
with us because of the ears, and then we got
rid of the ears, and then it's still rejected it
and we use t Spring, which is not a great vendor.
So over John bomb baby, I'll be honest, like this
first way is a little Mike heavy hundreds. I don't
want to go. Yeah, we don't have to do it
right now. We can do it. Then I kind of do, but.
Speaker 1: Not so obvious, like you don't have zero shame, it's
very little shame.
Speaker 3: It's what you had.
Speaker 2: I have measurable amount of shame.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were pour it into like a measuring cup,
you would see something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, uh.
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, I think this is Amanda win Lee looking
like on Twitter. Since I've had several people ask me, no,
I wasn't asked a voice you could go in the
P four remake. I mean, I guess they're all kind
of phrase the same way too, write like I.
Speaker 2: Don't know if like, well, since you asked, I don't.
You know, people ask me things I'm not allowed to
say it. I don't say. Well, I guess it's freak.
Speaker 1: I don't know, since so many cops have asked me, yes,
I did murder that person, but since you asked me,
you can't punish me.
Speaker 2: It's like, wait, what, that's not what's happening here? Yeah? Again,
I don't. Again, I don't blame for being disappointed or
upset about it, but I'm not sure. I don't know
what they're.
Speaker 1: Accomplishing, right, And then you know, to be fair, like
you know, I'm on this side of people doing the
work for bosses for sure, But it's just it's odd.
Speaker 3: It's an odd situation, that's all.
Speaker 2: Next up is from Jason Fulton. Where are the odds
that I can just walk into a Myers next week
and in bias switch to off the Shelf? Yeah, you
think there's gonna be any just like we can go
into a storm bias switch to after launch day, not
off the shelf. You'll have to call around.
Speaker 1: But if you're willing to call around a little bit,
not an extraordinary, extraordinary amount, I think you'll have a good.
Speaker 2: Chance of finding one. I don't know, but I think so. God,
Kevin's right. I'm sorry to keep going back to this.
It'd be so funny if they just literally haven't been asked,
asked because this game actually doesn't exist yet.
Speaker 3: The best that would be the best outcome here.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's like if they have all and I'm sorry everybody,
but just use context I figure out what I mean here.
If they have all worked themselves into a shoot. Uh.
Next up is from Gwen the Hunter. Oh shit, that's
episode four hundred. Congrats have thought you would make it
this far? Hard to believe tune in ten dogs lived
this long wait, wrong show The Time Dogs is almost
that episode two hundred. I think that's happened when we
get back. So these milestones are lining up. How many
episodes of the Exploding Barrel podcast, because we definitely, like
you guys, a lot, like seven hundred, eight hundred or
something like that. I don't know, I think it's actually
fewer than that. I bet least like I thought, maybe
just the three hundred. Okay, wow, we did five hundred
and sixty some episodes explaining But man, really gosh, that's
wild that we did that many of this. So this
isn't even my longest running podcast. No, yeah, jeez, we
did that for a while meeting.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, we've we've done eight hundred episodes of
the BombCast.
Speaker 2: You know, that's bike That's funny way I think I'll
put together. I've done a lot of podcasts.
Speaker 3: We've definitely podcasted quite a bit.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm at that point because I'm actually someone who
doesn't like to talk.
Speaker 1: I don't know if people can tell by the way
I talk. But so I get done doing my shows
and it's just like I'm going to go to a
place and be quiet for a very long time. That's
what I'm like off hours.
Speaker 2: Next up is Bob is me in terms of giant
bomb ownership. What's the best thing, the worst thing, and
the most unexpected things is the big day whilst I'm
gonna buy the tope bag and only fill it with apples, No,
I mean the best thing is just getting to, you know,
do what we like to do. And you know, the
swelling of support has been nice. It is nice seeing
you know, even more people watching the shows, people saying
nice things. You know, there's part of me is enjoying
it because I bet we're always going to have wonderful supports.
I don't know if we're always going to have this
much support, right, It feels very nice, but I am
definitely savoring that moment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the scariest thing, the worst thing has
been like having this feeling of like I want to
just make the content like I did it when I
was under a a corporation because everything else kind of
just took care of itself. And now it's like, well,
if something's not getting done, one of the five of
us is going to have to do it.
Speaker 3: So if I don't do it, that's more work for
everyone else.
Speaker 2: So there's like this always this shadow of like I
could be doing more at any moment. That's fine because
that's been a little rough with like SGF being right
around the corner when this all happened exactly.
Speaker 1: But you know it, that is easy to deal with
because the best part is like, at a certain point
when you're working at those jobs, it's like you're at
the whim of how that company feels at any moment.
And now we are truly in charge of our own destiny,
and I the way it's going right now, I think
it's the kind of thing where it's like this can
be sustainable literally for the rest of my life. I
think we can make this work for forever and we
can do it as long as we want. So I'm
feeling pretty good about that because this is what I
want to be doing, so that that's nice. And then
I think the most surprising thing is just how much does.
Speaker 2: Go into making this all work.
Speaker 1: It's like there's a lot of things you got to consider,
and so yeah, it's not just like, oh, we're going
to register in Delaware.
Speaker 3: It's like, no, there's a lot of steps after that
as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I tell you what I have really loved is.
You know, there have been a lot of left giant
on fans over the years. Of course, I never I
never blamed anybody and be like, oh I used to
like it, and no I don't. That's fine, but you know,
it was something that we had to hear a lot
sometimes for people, and they weren't always nice about it.
And instead it's like when this happened, there's been a
lot of people who are like, I've checked it out
for the first time in forever because of all this,
and wow, I think it's it's great now. Even though
it's different, I still like it a lot. So it's
nice seeing that sentiment sometimes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think people were faced with like gime bomb
going away versus giving this giant bomb a chance, and
I think the choice became.
Speaker 2: Easy for a lot of people.
Speaker 1: It's like, actually, we would prefer to just enjoy this,
and you know, I guess I'm happy to be better
than nothing for a lot of people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, god, yeah, yeah we should put that on a
sign or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, But yeah, you're right that that has been
awesome to see, and I like, you're right, it's reflected
in the numbers, like people, more people are watching.
Speaker 2: Robert Foster says, longtime pod listener, first time live listener,
super chatter usually at work or asleep in Australia when
you guys are on any chance of you guys coming
or g be coming down here for packs when you're
I'd love to. I've never been to Australia. I think
it'd be awesome to go down there. Packs is obviously
a good excuse for that. Uh yeah, gosh, when did
they do that? Though?
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's what the again, I can't
read it. They said there's still Packs Australia. They still
do that.
Speaker 2: It's like, are they still doing because there were some packs?
Is that they've stopped Packs South? Okay, so do see
they're doing PAS Australia. Like at the end of August.
What's Packs West? Thing is this is kind of it's
apparently Labor Day. Oh it's like October Packs Okay, so
like packs this doesn't this can't be right, yeah, Marino
says it's on October. Okay, So yeah, that was a
Google mistake. So Packs West is end of August and
then Packs Australia is October. So I mean, you know,
very nothing even close to a promise here for this
year or anything like that. But I would love to.
I'd love to do it at some point.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe there's a time where we don't maybe go
to the other packses and we work it out with them,
because it now, even when we were at a corporation,
like flying out to something like a PAX was always
difficult to justify the company paying for. So it would
be what kind of thing was, like, Hey, Packs wants
us there, Maybe they can help us out, and they
have recently. Maybe there's a year where we could go
all the way way to Australia and do that instead.
Speaker 2: That would be cool. Yeah, And then you know, it's
hard because if we're at one of these things, then
we're not necessarily making the normal content right, and it's
always challenging. It could be challenging, but it's always fun
and I always like that. Again, if I've ever traveled
to the Southern Hemisphere, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm thinking, where is Singapore? I think Singapore might
barely be in the Southern Hemisphere. It's definitely on the equator.
It's hot as balls there.
Speaker 2: There you go, all right, next one, but bus, sorry,
gonna open up this window again. The next one is
from J. D. Camp who says, merch idea Mama Minatti
Pitzels on the GB store. I don't know about how
selling food stuff work. Also, my mama is not Minati
anymore so in her last name isn't particularly Italian, so
the branding might need a little work shopping there. But boy,
I like the cells quite a lot. Yeah, those are good.
I'll look into it. Flim Flam Mandrew says, I walked
out of bluetooth range and the stream crashes coincidence, so
I can't always be here? Yeah, it was. It was
OBS crashing. The camera stopped and everything.
Speaker 1: I replaced the CPU in this computer, NOBS is still crashing,
So maybe it's something else.
Speaker 2: If I say, Australia, what are the name?
Speaker 4: Name?
Speaker 2: Three movies? Go, okay, The OZ, The Great and Powerful.
Now what's the up? What's the one? Just Australia, that's
the one of them.
Speaker 1: Uh, and then they're all gonna be variations on that
from the same people. Mad Max okay, so it's not
on the variation of the same thing. And then Mad
Max two. There that's what I got for.
Speaker 2: I was I was wondering if how weird it is
for me that I go to finding Nemo pretty quickly,
is why I asked, Oh sure, yeah, that is a
lot people forget about the Australian this of right, Yeah,
they're going to Sydney. Yeah right right.
Speaker 4: Nobody say kangaroo Jack. I'm so sudden.
Speaker 2: Jack. Sure, yeah, yeah, I want to see I haven't
seen Crocodile Dundee saw the one where he went to America.
They have never even seen the original. I saw that
one a lot of times because it was on HBO
all the time. Ah, I see you've played Knifey Spooney before.
All right, next one is from Sledge Reinhold. They listening
to a voicemail dump truck Mike. I also had a
high school soci society teacher who had us watch a
nine to eleven conspiracy documentary around two thousand and four.
Wonder what that guy is up to now. He's probably
still teaching at that school. He's probably also their main
basketball coach like my guy.
Speaker 3: Was, and he's probably moved on to QAnon by now.
Speaker 2: So good for him that even a thing anymore. No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: They there was flat earthers that was like really hot,
and then all the flat earthers moved to QAnon and
now I don't know what they're doing now, honestly they do.
That's scared ruling party tell us right, that's right, they're
the deep state now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Wiley Jenkins says, is Rascal Mike crashing servers? Now
it wasn't me. It wasn't me, So nope, not any child.
Wolf says, call it the Mount Rushmore of gaming yappers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's sad. We might actually do that. It's a
pretty good one, real quick. Antonio Morales, is a member
for twenty nine months here on YouTube, says, do your
local game store recognize you when you go in? Have
you tried asking for a partnership for Blake Club or
do you have a PO box where we could send games?
I like you guys playing in original hardware p nests. Yeah,
if you do ever want to send anything to like,
get to me or Mike and I'll make sure Mike
gets it. Uh, there is a PO box in the discord.
You can find out the welcome message there. But I
think it's like eight one five Superior Avenue, East, Suite
sixteen eighteen, Cleveland, Ohio, four four one one four.
Speaker 2: I think that's right, you can send it there and
we'll get it. I've I've never been recognized when local stores,
and look, it's kind of pathetic because like sometimes like
you know, not saying that he's saying that they should
recognize me. But sometimes I will be a little bit like, yeah,
I'm in here a lot, like yeah, yeah, actually you know,
actually you talk about it against my work, thinking that
they might find this somewhat interesting, Jeff, And they never care.
They never ever ever care. I stopped doing that a
long time. They never care.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, Okay, they're just their own world. They're
just they're probably just stressed out.
Speaker 3: About running their business.
Speaker 2: I understand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never been recognized at a game store, not
by an employee.
Speaker 2: Anyhow, Matt Rare Monkey has been a leaking member for
I think two months if I'm reading this Argentinian textbook
correctly says, uh nan x Impact demo just showed up
on Steam, So there you go, let's go let it up.
Next up is from Wiley Jenkins. Is that one where
story they said I also found out I wouldn't be
voicing a character. Well, David says, where could I suggest
a black club game? I mean there's no official channel.
You just do it here wherever I will. It's one
I will say, it's I kind of want I thought,
I'm not. We're not taking suggestions. But it's like one
of those things where when you get a dog and
people are like, I have a great name for the dog,
it almost doesn't matter how good in their name is.
You want to name the dog.
Speaker 3: Yep, we definitely want to want to.
Speaker 2: We kind of It's like, I definitely think we have
a lot of ideas of our own right now. We
think we have one for Dan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like the big, big part of it, it's like
we are the other two getting to inflict something on
the other one.
Speaker 3: So we want to feel ownership over that. That's all
it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I bet there's a time where we
might need more suggestions, but at least right now, you
suggest and it has throw it out there. We'll added
to the list. Yeah, let's see. Next up, it's from
Edgar Marino con sean talk about Combo Breaker if he
can sew, can you talk about Combo Breaker?
Speaker 4: I sure can. The short version is that it was
very fun. It was the uh, probably the best one
I've been to since the first one I went to
in twenty nineteen, I would say, and that one was
a legendary tournament in general. A lot of fun things
happened there. But get me and my friends budgeted our
time well, so we got to do pretty much hard
thing we want to. We spent a bunch of time
in the arcade this time because it was even bigger
and better they had. They had some awesome stuff there.
They had like all the music games that made the
past few games done quicks there, so I got to
Trail one where like you have your hands in the
air playing notes and stuff like that. They had all
different ddrs, Like I said, I think Steph sent one
of those over you on Blue Sky and the Mickey
Mouse one. Then yeah, they had a functioning like shooting
gallery game that Namco did in the eighties. Yeah, the
arcade was absolutely fantastic this time. As for the tournament itself,
I went on to a Street Fighter because I'm crash
at that game. But I am the best Balls three
D player in Northeast Wisconsin. I success won on stream
playing Ball three D for the Mystery Turn.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, I admit something here. Back when Balls
three D was new, I like Redsit or something. I
thought it was pretty cool. I was a little shock
years layer to find out that everybody fucking hates that game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that game is hot garbage. We played the three
D O version. I didn't know what I was doing.
If anyone wants to see it over on a UGS gaming.
If you look at the Combo Breaker twenty twenty five
Mystery Tournament Pools Wave B, that's where you can see
me playing balls three D And what was it was?
It was like Demon Tilt or something like that. No,
that's like the pinball game. It was a puzzle game
where you like shift the board left and right to
shift the blocks around. I did horribly and then I
got knocked out when I did that. In on the
Nintendo Switch, there's an Inspector Gadget Pokemon Stadium mini game
game where like, yeah, first to ten points in terrible
Mario Party Slash Pokemon Stadium style mini games, but inspect
their gas. Yeah, and you're all Inspector Gadget. Yes, it
was like your break. You can't be the dog, You're
you're red, yellow, blue, green Inspector Gadgets. I don't know
what that game is. I am bothered looking up but
it was god awful.
Speaker 2: Okay, keep that mine for packs West. Yeah, good idea.
We all got trench coats, inspector gadgets.
Speaker 1: We just get introduced one at a time. Here's Mike Manna,
he has inspector gadget. Here's Dan Ricker has.
Speaker 2: Like the extendo arm and put it in the sleeve. Right. Yeah,
everything is just go go gadget, go, go gadget shoot,
go go gadget work.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: Also, I think during ups tomorrow I might make Jan
Live react to you winning the balls thing.
Speaker 2: So we'll see what we can make.
Speaker 4: I think tell yeah, I think Jan might have been
watching because Giant Bomb was at That was probably Jan,
Yeah yeah uh and then yeah. Edgar also mentioned chet.
The best part, like all the top eights were actually
pretty good this year. Probably the best part though, was
you guys know what an auction tournament is? By a chance? Okay,
So basically they like pull names of a hat for
like characters in the given game, you know, like first three, Fighter,
six Tech, and eight where it is, and then people
in the audience bid to lay that character, and then
whoever wins a best of one sixteen person bracket gets
the pool and So at the tech and eight tournament,
it went wild because one dude dared another dude to
do the punko, the classic take your shirt off. You
know you dig your shirt off, I'll take my shirt off.
Training weights are off, Let's do it. They got the
tech in pros to do it. Even yeah, it was
Cherry Berry, Mango and Rang Chew and even Arcel and Ash,
the greatest teching player in the world, was coerced convinced
to take his shirt off by someone adding three hundred
dollars surprise bowl, Like they crowdfunded arslin Ash taking his
shirt off her finals and.
Speaker 3: You get banned from Twitch for doing that.
Speaker 4: People were scrubbing VODs left and right. But I tell
you what, Tacy Steve put it up on his YouTube channel. Helly,
it's there if you all want to see it. There's
other awesome stuff like a community crowdfunded someone playing Paul
for they like pulled together enough mine they got for
like five hundred something dollars. And yeah, it was just yeah,
fantastic tournament. I highly recommend watching the tech and eight
auction tournament from this year. But yeah, and then a
few people came up and said hi, which is very nice.
I saw White ones Is in the chat here to night,
and yeah I got to meet them and that was
a very nice for every one. So yeah, great weekend.
Had a lot of fun. Eate a lot ate a
lot of the popcorn Baron's popcorn, which is the reason
enough for me to get you guys out there, because
like all the different crazy flavors like buttered chicken popcorn
and stuff like, oh yeah that sounds yeah, yeah, great,
great tournament. If yeah, if it's easy for you to
get to Chicago, I definitely recommend it, even if you're
only like a little bit interested in watching fighting games,
because it's just a great vibe to be in.
Speaker 1: I will try to make that happen because one, I
really like Chicago, so yeah, that'd be great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And for the dule they can go for the
viewers is like the best viewing experience too, because they
have everything well well organized for the streams and.
Speaker 4: Yeah, everyone like yeah, some of the bigger community members
even like chip in to like use their Twitch channels
like Yipes and Tasty Steve. I think sometimes Justin Wong
will like let Combo Breaker, like the people running things
beyond the scenes like Spooky and everyone use their Twitch
channels to like stream outs on the smaller stuff too,
so it's very community centric. The old vibes of Evo
are now at a combo Breaker, and I love it.
Speaker 5: There's the reason why the person that runs Combo Breaking
now runs Evo as well.
Speaker 4: So that's right, because he did such a good job
with combo Breaker, now Rick runs both.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Sean. Next one from Drips of
Malones is I was at dream Haack Dallas last weekend
and played Carpathian Knight in any game inspired by classic
Castlevania seems right up your alley and in a fun way.
It's out on Steam and on so, Jeff, I looked
at this up on Steam. You want to know a
surprising factoid about this game?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: What it has? It has license. I just see this.
Oh my god, that's crazy. The like yeah, the classic
Dracula actor.
Speaker 1: Uh so Bella's in this game starring Bella Lagosis insane?
Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, this rules that's wild. That's got my
I'm shocked to super jet that elite with that. I
don't maybe maybe we're actually the only old people who Yeah,
maybe that's maybe that's a real boomer thing. But he's
like in, yeah, playing nine for Outer Spaces that him. Uh,
he's like a bunch of stuff. I don't know. That's great. Yeah,
I was good. I was gonna say like, oh, there's
so many games inspired by classic Castlevania, were already have
Churs the Moon blah blah blah, And now I looked
at this, I'm like, oh, hell yeah, they got Bella.
Speaker 1: There was another game recently inspired by Caslvania. It could
be this one, but I don't think it is. That
had Donkey Kong country like barrel segments, and I'm like, oh,
that just looks fun. More games should have that. So
maybe we're gonna Castlevania sons.
Speaker 2: Rick, youick asks U Missia Cantario, this fire Burns or
Cultive Personality, Jeff, do you understand why these three songs?
I know, I don't, and the only song I think
I know is cult of Personality. These are these are
punk's entrance songs, and right couple, I guess, I guess
I'll go call it personality. I like this fire Burns.
I was not watching much Ring of Honor Punks. I
don't have much nostalgia for Mysia's just a great song.
It's a great song that works really well as an
enturant song. Actually, h Taco Belmont, that's a great name, says,
love you guys, and I've loved your GB run so far.
Thank you so much, Taco Bellmont, really appreciate it. Thank you. Yeah,
we're having a good time. White Lens says, hypothetically, if
a Vida game crash happens, what would you guys talk about?
I think I would just work really hard to get
Jeff as excited about theme park shit as me.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that wouldn't take much work. Yeah, for sure,
I would. I would just become a retro YouTuber.
Speaker 2: I just played one games. Yeah, I mean that's a
good part of what we do already anyways, exactly.
Speaker 1: Yes, so they wouldn't be a tough transition at all.
We'll do that and theme parks. There you go, there
you go.
Speaker 2: I believe that said, I believe we're caught up on
the super chests now, but if you all still want
to send in super chests, we will read them before
the end of the show. Thank you so much for
the support, everybody.
Speaker 1: Thank you everybody. All Right, what we're gonna do now
is take another break. We'll come back we'll do our game,
which is gonna be a mount rushmore of video game yappers.
Speaker 2: Right after this. All right, we're back mount rushmore of
gaming yappers. Mike NAUGHTI I was gonna call this mount
rushmore of loud gaming guys and again, guys, because I
don't think there's gonna be a lot of women that
fit into this category.
Speaker 3: It's not that's a credit to them.
Speaker 2: I think we're happy about that. That's a good thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the idea here is just you know, those guys
that make games that tend to get a lot of
headlines or you know, or at least somewhat related to
making games. You know, you know, why would just get started?
People get the idea real fast. Do you have a
good grasp of what I'm going for here?
Speaker 2: I get it. I thank you told me if I'm
off base when I start suggesting.
Speaker 1: But okay, well, you know, I'll go for the first
one right now. And I you know, I think, you know,
because it's a mount rushmore, I don't think it has
to be someone who's like super actively yapping right now,
but historically known as a yapper.
Speaker 3: I'll go with Cliff Blazinski.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, he yapped at me, he told me
to go eat a dick. He did yap at you.
He did tell you to go eat a dick. That's right. Yeah,
let me see here he got he got quiet? Do
you think, like I guess, I don't really know, and
I'm just speculating, but because like he was the one
who introduced Fortnite to the world back when it was
just you know, save the World, right, and then he
left before like Fortnite made a zillion dollars and I'm
sure Cliff would be did very well for himself, but
I bet he left a lot of money at the
table by leaving when he did and not a few
years later. Yeah, he probably did for sure. Although you know,
there's a chance he still has a lot of like
stock in Epic.
Speaker 1: Right there, so maybe he's just fine on that. He
you know, he produces Tony Award winning Broadway plays now
and things like that and does stand up comedy, so
still yeahpens just stand up comedy.
Speaker 2: He does. He did stand up comedy like in the
last couple of weeks apparently.
Speaker 3: So yeah, all right, Mike, what do you got.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Tommy Talhareca interesting My buddy apparently, Yeah,
he block me, You're his favorite. There's no way he
could ever believe there's a chance he specifically like went
to block everybody and saw my name and said, no.
I think I might have met him at one of
our games Beat events, because he definitely was a speaker
at one of them. I don't remember meeting him. Maybe
I did, and maybe I was nice in and he
remembered that. That's probably okay, there's no way he knows it.
I am.
Speaker 4: If he made that, Liz, his mother will be very
proud of.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: So you're suggesting that you met him and you were
nice to him.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why n block you, and not that you
also have an Italian name.
Speaker 2: You remember the scene in Billy Madison where Billy calls uh, uh,
you know, what's this? What's his face? He's a serial
killer in the movie. He's the creepy guy in most movies,
including conn Steve. He calls Steve Steve like you know,
crosses him off. Is to kill Lis? Yeah, let that
a lot. Sure, probably what happened here. Yeah, maybe he
did it with me, right. All I got to do
is be nice to Tommy tall Rico and then I'm
blocked me never gonna happen. Hey, it seems like he
was a jerk while he ran at But Video Games
Live was cool. I like, I'm glad that they made
all those CDs I listened to on Spotify because there
aren't too many people getting orchestras to play arrangements of
classic video game music. I do like that. Yeah, Like
none of these people are like Hitler, right, and they're
none of them a completely bad glide. It took credit
for a lot of things that he didn't do, and
he has some kind of rampant insecurity thing that he's
made all of our problems.
Speaker 1: Yeah, insecure and a narcissist for sure. Yeah, that's the
kind of person's getting up on this list. But look,
I do want to make it clear. I don't think
you have to be completely negative.
Speaker 2: I think you just need to be known as someone
who was out there and loud and maybe sometimes negative.
Speaker 3: Like let's say John Romero.
Speaker 1: I think John Romero was at one point the video
game yapper, where like he was like posting updates and
like the Doom stuff, like where people were just following
every single one of like this was like pre blog post.
But he was like writing blog posting like the notes
and the updates for Doom and stuff like that, and
people would like scour through that stuff.
Speaker 2: Uh so Yeah. John Romero, who I like he's been.
He seems like he's a pretty He's been pretty good
these days. He's like, oh yeah, yeh, super super chill,
easygoing guy. Nice. Uh.
Speaker 1: I think he's got some pretty good politics, makes games
with his kids, does doom wads for fun.
Speaker 2: Now, I don't know. That's the kind of chill dude
I would want to grow into as well. Uh. David Jeffy,
who has actually like pivoted to making the yapping the
main part of his career. Now, yeah, yes, he's a
professionally apper like us. Yeah, yeah, I agree. He's an
aggressive yeapper too. I would not I would not want
to have a conversation with them. He's kind of intense.
I've killed him as much. Like.
Speaker 1: There's definitely times where he's like, Jeff Grubb, come on
my show and I'm like, David, I just don't want
to talk to you, no, like and not even like
in a take that David Jeffy away, I'm just like,
I don't think I'll get much out of it. And
I don't think you'll actually get that much out, but
let's just not do that. So, uh yeah, he's I
don't know aggressive is the right word. And again I
don't think like even all his positions are all terrible,
but he's definitely someone who's very loud.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, no, exactly, you know, and so honestly, like
some of the stuff I forget about, I'm still mostly
upset about him, like not getting Metroid. I'm like, O,
can you not get Metroid? It's great?
Speaker 1: Okay, exactly, Okay, I'm gonna go with this one first
before I go to the other one. Peter Malineu, who
maybe not so much allowed but definitely yaps about his
game specifically and that gets him into trouble.
Speaker 3: So I think he's gonna qualify here.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's gonna make the cut, but
I think at a certain point he became more known
for talking about his games than making his games, and
it became a meme and became a joke.
Speaker 3: So I think it's like pretty close for this list.
Speaker 2: You just made me. Remember that he announced that new game,
A game Calm we were I was there. That was
a big shock shocker when Peter Malin came out Masters
of Albion.
Speaker 1: Related to his Fable games, all because they took place
in the same place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's it's not on rails that it has
nothing to do with Fable. Yeah, And then just so
many weird things, like like, of course he was somebody
who was actually trying to make the web three game
thing happen, right, and uh freaking what what was curiosity?
The curiosity cue the cube?
Speaker 3: Yep, click on that clicked on that cube.
Speaker 2: A lot, I mean, not to be fair like very
like actually there's a lot of very important stuff early
like Flying Carpet was a very important early sup.
Speaker 1: Game, Populous was a revelation, it was so but then yeah,
but then you know, he makes uh a Curiosity, and
then the winner of that gets to be in charge
of Goddess, his big new god game, and then that
just sounds It's like it completely crashed and burned. It
was this huge disaster, and it's kind of been that sense.
And yet every time he does pop back up and
start talking again, it feels like no lessons learned, and
he goes right back to.
Speaker 2: The yapp and all right, it's exactly right, Okay, you
think you're you have the next pick, right, Yeah, Joseph Ferris,
Oh yeah, wow, Yeah, that's definitely a yapper and again like.
Speaker 1: Positive and and but also very loud, like the way
he apps is I would just describe as loud. And
he makes games that are like at this point seemingly
universally beloved. So he's backing up the talking at a
certain point, but I don't think that diminishes the yapping.
Speaker 2: No, And I mean, but you know, the fuck the oscars, right,
And I'll say I've talked to him right like through work,
and he has been very nice and actually very put
so he's not like he's he can. He is loud,
and he's very confident, but it's not it's not like
this toxic thing with it. It's like, you know, it's
like almost charming, if not entirely charming. Yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 1: But again, I don't know if we're like here to
like judge the quality or the morality or whatever of
the yapp.
Speaker 3: It's like, no, are you a famous yapper for games?
Speaker 2: There's still be a part of me. If we like
pick three jerks and then put in one nice person,
it is gonna be like they're guilty by associations.
Speaker 1: That's a good point. So we'll see once we get
there how we play that. All right, there's not Okay,
here's the one. There's a bunch that are kind of
in this bucket of I don't even know if I
want to acknowledge them, So I'll go with the one
that I feel is like maybe on the fence there,
Phil Fish.
Speaker 2: Okay, like I want to just yapped his way out
of the industry.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's correct, So it kind of and like kind
of feels like maybe should be on there. But also
there's like so much negativity surrounding that that you're right,
there's something about a guilt by association that might happen
for the rest of the list, but I don't know.
He definitely was became more known for yapping at a
certain point.
Speaker 4: Someone and just said that he's still yapping on most
of them.
Speaker 2: So that's exactly where I would expect. I got one, Okay,
Greg Miller, Oh, that's good. He just has yapping constantly
and just very loud too, in your if you have
a volume level, very very very loud person. I think
he plays it all off as like a joke, but
I think he just actually has a lot of anger
inside of him, rage filled person for sure. Yes, just
must be a dark home to live in. I would
assume I feel bad for his family, as you know,
like it's even like again toxic positivity, like oh I
really like Starfield and I'm gonna make that everybody's problem.
But then you bring up Steam and he tacks you
physically with violence. Yes, yes, exactly exactly. He's gonna he's
gonna be the last person clutching onto his PlayStation seven
when it makes up one percent of the market share
because everybody else is just on PC or switched for
crying and yelling, shriveled up into a pitiful sack of
human garbage.
Speaker 3: That's right, all right, Pick Randy Pitchford.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so wonder we were gonna get the good old Randy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think he's the reason I did this list in
the first place. Yeah, Randy boy.
Speaker 2: All I think about him is someone who kind of
talks this point.
Speaker 1: He was in the news the last several weeks because
of yapping, and I think that is I mean, that's
just kind of his position now, like or around the movie, right,
Like he particularly he was like like I'm gonna be
the like sort of ring leader or the the circus
entertainer for this movie like that other people are making,
but it's based on my game, So I get there.
I'm gonna be like, I'm friends with all these famous
people and it's gonna be the best movie ever, Oh
my god. And then it comes out and it's terrible,
and then he doesn't yap about it anymore, which is.
Speaker 2: Yap's about how like it's validation for how good the
game is. Actually, right, he changed, right, the yapping shifted,
it didn't stop, You're right, So man, Randy Pittard's probably yeah,
he just has the most used card salesman energy of
all the yappers too. Definitely Dress one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well he did this switch. He thought we wouldn't
realize that he did this switch and was like, I
think he.
Speaker 2: Thinks he's very smooth that way. I think he thinks
he's like a very smooth promoter, right misdirection, right, Yeah,
what Tommy to whole thing was, that's why Tommy like
lies about being on cribs and talks about his Guiness
World records constantly because he's like, hey, it's all about
my brand. I got to promote my brand. Everybody stretches
the truth. That's just what you have to do to
get ahead, not realizing that we live in this new
you know, age of information where it's where we can
google something, where the lines are ye uh.
Speaker 1: Huh, there's and then there's whole feature length videos made
about him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, all right, what else you got? I don't
know if I got anything. There's like some other mid
tier ones that I don't really know are gonna like compete.
What do you think about Tim Sweeney? I was wondering
about Tim Sweeney. He does a lot of is talking
in court, is litigation.
Speaker 3: You know, he's finding.
Speaker 1: Mighty about it for sure too. Yes, he definitely tweets
quite a bit. Maybe it's not as much as some
of these other ones. And you're right, like there's definitely
some times where he's like I will just turn it
over to the lawyers.
Speaker 2: Or I will.
Speaker 1: Weaponize the fans and hashtag free fortnite or whatever.
Speaker 2: And maybe that's a whole different.
Speaker 1: Thing, and that where he would clearly be on a
mount Rushmore or something, but maybe not.
Speaker 2: Yeapping something else. Yeah, there's like I'm seeing some suggested
chat that seemed like decent. It's uh, you know, Reggie
for me and Sessler Richards has been quiet for so long.
Speaker 1: Dennis Diak is definitely one I was like thinking about.
But as we went here, it's like, I don't know
if he hangs anymore. I don't know, but again, like
it it. I did say, it's like you don't have
to be an active yapper, like does his yapping from
then ranking like if like unmoored from time.
Speaker 2: It was there was never a positive upside for it, right,
Like you know, like that like Peter mal ANDU right
with there's something about it. I enjoyed the yeah big
right Hynas Dias, Yeah, being just always fucking yeah, yeah, thanks,
there's kind of something funny about yeah, you like, there's
something funny about it, used car salesman exactly.
Speaker 1: This is more like a divorced dad. Like it's what
Dennis Diak's energy is. It's just like, oh man, you're
just sad and you're trying to be cool and it's
it's all disappointing.
Speaker 2: All right. Today it is more of a gaming tweeter
than a yapper, right.
Speaker 5: So, I mean, yeah, IIMA was going to be like
a cornerstone of this Liz and he his obsence is
strange to be I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't think of him as a yapper as much
as some of these other ones. He talks a lot, Sure.
Speaker 2: Talks, Yeah, he talks a lot. He talks, and like
what it is he says could be obnoxious. He's not yapping.
He's just kind of talking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2: It's it's because a lot of the stuff he talks
about is just movies he's seen.
Speaker 1: He just seems like a guy with a hobby like that.
That's a little bit different than some of these guys
talking to fill the room with noise.
Speaker 2: I will I won't say it's good to say sure,
I'll give you a chance to really think about it.
Just seems deeply uninterested.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be in La next week. If there's a
way I can just get him to go up to you.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do that until let's do it, Let's do
I can't wait.
Speaker 1: The Mount Rushbo Gaming yappers short list is as such.
Speaker 2: Cliff Tommy at least like a lot of people with
chatter ask me about Comma.
Speaker 1: Tommy is not bad, but he kind of he yaps
back right he's a clapbacker.
Speaker 2: He's kind of a clapbacker. We'll get define clapbackers.
Speaker 1: Cliff Tommy tell, Rico, John Romero, David Jaffy, Peter Malinu,
Joseph Ferris, Phil Fish, Greg Miller, and Randy Pitchford.
Speaker 3: What are you thinking, Mike?
Speaker 2: I think I think Randy is a lot. Yes, Randy's
a lock. I don't want to do Jaffy because I'm
terrified if he'd like notice sing and they're like calling
us out of his podcast, That'll give you a lot
of social anxiety. That's that's right. And I think we
are allowed to ethically be cowards.
Speaker 1: Show we're allowed to do. I don't give a ship.
There are no rules that I love that, Like, you're right.
Speaker 2: Let's not do that. I think. Uh. I think Tyler
riecausin Othero Well, yeah, I think so too.
Speaker 4: Chad saying, Okay, we're not gonna put that on the list.
Speaker 2: Maybe this will give me.
Speaker 3: Dan Records a Carnival Barker a little different.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, it's gay Parker, so that's completely different.
Speaker 4: Seare Washington and nccarney, mount Rushmore for sure.
Speaker 3: Okay, so we're not doing David Jaffy. I think Peter.
Speaker 2: MALINU Yeah, I could put malin new on there. Well,
what else are you thinking? Then? Um scroll down a
little bit I can see, I mean, bring up hang on.
I don't think I think, I don't think we're merrow
yaps enough. I think Cliff's kind of not insanely relevant
at the moment. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but again, it's like the Mount Rushmore. You know,
how relevant is I guess all the pressure realmant you
can't encourage Greg Miller, No, we can't, right, he'll take
it in stride. I think Joseph Ferris makes sense if
that's kind of where.
Speaker 2: Joseph Yeah, okay, I kind of worry a little bit
about Petermond doesn't like suck, you know. I guess he
maybe kind of because Joseph is definitely, I don't want
to say, a better person.
Speaker 1: Than He's the one that I would like rush to
the defense of. If people are like, yeah, all these
dudes suck, I'd be like, no, Joseph is fun.
Speaker 3: Come on, it's all right.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah, so uh all right, yeah. I think
that's a good I think that's a good way of
routing it out.
Speaker 1: So this this is our list, uh, Randy Pitcher, Tommy Telrico,
Peter Malineu, and Joseph Ferris. I think that's correct, all right,
the mount Rushmore of gaming yappers. Everybody is Randy pitch For,
Tommy tell Rico, Peter Malineu, and Joseph Ferris.
Speaker 2: I'll post this.
Speaker 1: I'm actually kind of excited to see the response. We'll
see what happens here.
Speaker 2: I listen. I like that this show can be irreverent.
Speaker 1: I hope we're striking the right tone with this because
I would like do more like this where we can
talk about people without being completely shitty about everyone, but
also a little shitty because it's like it's fun. We're
just talking here. We also are yappers, so yeah, we're
pretty obnoxious pieces of We're obnoxious pieces of shit.
Speaker 2: We know that. So it's it's all from a place
of mostly love. I don't know. Tommy Tellery can go
fuck himself. I don't care. No, that's my buddy, Jeff,
you're right by bad. I did not mean to step
on the toes of you and your friend Tommy. That's admit.
Get pretty good name. Oh it's a powerful name.
Speaker 1: It's like in Donnie Darko with the teachers look at
each other like, Donny Darko, what the fuck is that name?
That's crazy. It's like that, it really is. All right,
that does it for that. Let's take one more break.
We'll come back, we'll clean up super chats, we'll talk
about what we've been playing. I'm excited to tell you
about one of the games I've been playing.
Speaker 2: Mike.
Speaker 1: We'll get it to that right after this. All right,
we are back, Mike Minatti, what have you been playing?
Speaker 2: Like I mentioned earlier, it has been a lot of
Claire obscure. It's like when I took the vacation. I
always hate tagnification in the middle of a big game
like that, it's a little hard to get back into it,
and we're busy with all this giant bomb stuff. So
it took me like several days before I did get back.
Then once I did, it's like anytime I can have
some time to play it. And I've been streaming it too,
so it's always like I gotta make sure I have
enough of blocks. I'm streaming also, but like, if I
have that time, that is what I'm doing. Right. It
just got to Act three, so there's reacts, so basically
I'm two thirds of the way through the game. Yeah,
I just think the absolute world of it. It's you know,
unless something gets really fumbled in this final act. It's
definitely my favorite game so far of the year. There's
been some good games this year. I absolutely loved Blueprints,
actually felt very strongly about Two Point Museum. I'm going
to continue to carry that torch, so that game is
a get completely forgotten when it comes to Game of
the Year time. But this game is just really special
and obviously is doing a lot of things that I
like about video games. I just it's awesome to hear that.
I'm glad you like this game as much as you do.
It's especially in the face of all the hype, right
it living up to and surpassing the hype is is
kind of incredible, even like the Cell Type because I
remember when they first announced the game, I noticed a
little bit, but there was that Xbox showcase we probably
did a talkover where they showed a lot of it.
I remember you can look at that like, WHOA, why
does this game look this good? It was kind of
and I think a lot of people did notice right
then and there, and that's why the hype built up
and why it kind of came out and was this
bigger deal, And you know, I think I think that
this is a game that's going to be very sticky
in terms of people are going to play it and
they're going to think about it for a long time.
And it's also a game that people are going to
keep rediscovering and going back to for a long time. Yeah,
it's it also feels.
Speaker 1: Like it is one that is just riding a massive
word of mouth wave. It is people are going to
keep picking out, Like I think it like hasn't even
quite reached its zenith yet, Like I think there's getting
like this.
Speaker 2: Well, I guess Summer Game Pest.
Speaker 1: And switched to could disrupt it a little bit, But
it feels like on the other side of that, people
are gonna be, oh, now I finally have time for this,
and I've been hearing enough of the good things. I'm
going to play it. And I just think so many
people are going to pick this up through the end
of the year, and it'll get another bump near the
end of the year when Game of the Year is
happening and stuff like that. So yeah, it just feels
like everyone's going to be excited and talking about it.
I'm there was that time there when I was playing
a little bit of it and it was all I
could kind of think about because it is that good,
and I was just at the beginning. So I'm ready
to get in there and see what you're seeing in there.
Anything else, No, I finished too.
Speaker 2: I've actually just been playing through some of the arcade
modes of games in the fighting game collection too. Now,
oh sweet. So I went through Plasma Sword and that's
actually that game is more fun than I was like specting.
It's just this kind of goofy Star Wars clone three
D fighting game that's not taking itself super seriously. I
was just playing as a robot that was using a
ton of projectile So that was great. And played through
the Street Fighter three Alpha street Fighter Alpha three Uppers
Arcade Otis came and that was also a good time.
We also had a community night actually over the weekend
where yeah, we're playing each other and that was super fun.
That's super fun, right, Christian. Yeah, Yeah, it's fine trying
to pound on me because you beat me a bunch.
Speaker 5: You like the heavy punch for Halmaros fun a lot
of time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I actually really do think it's the best
collection they've done yet, even though like mars Is, cac
On two is a game I like more than any
game in this collection, but maybe not that much more
than Captain Versistic two. That game is wild and there's
just so many other interesting things here. So I've glazed
this collection up a lot, but I am continuing to
still play it. It's great.
Speaker 1: Gershman just said, uh, replace Fair with Itagaki, and Itagaki
is one we should have brought up. Actually, there was
definitely a time where he was one of the yeah ers. Yeah,
I'm glad you guys had fun doing the fighting game
collection all that stuff and hanging out. I've been playing
Big Hops, which is that game that has that frog.
It's that three D platformer that I was. I've been
re reskeating on Blue Sky a couple of times.
Speaker 3: Just because I thought the video looked cool.
Speaker 1: Well, there's a demo and the demos on Steam, so
I got that installed and played. I'm playing it both
on the Steam deck and the PC because I think
I want to maybe record something for it for a
Giant bomb.
Speaker 3: It feels awesome, boy does it?
Speaker 2: It got great? Three D platform or movement. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It feels like maybe some of the best I've ever
had in an Andy three D platformer.
Speaker 3: Mike, I think you're.
Speaker 2: Gonna lot some Mario Odyssey energy. Sure it does. So.
Speaker 1: It has a really awesome momentum system. So you're a frog.
You can use your tongue to sort of hang on stuff,
and then you know, as you're hanging on stuff, you
can swing around and get momentum. And if you fly
off at like you know, the tangent so that you're
going like straight into the ground basically like kind of
like a parallel to the ground, you'll just carry all
that momentum forward and you'll be running as fast as
you possibly can. And then if you kind of take
that into a jump and then do a dive and
then you hit the ground, do a jump immediately, you'll
carry the momentum for it even more. And it just
feels perfect. It's it's there's wall running that feels great.
Speaker 2: I I do too, and it's like it looks good
and it's not like a cheat. It's a little bit
it's not super skill based either, but it's like leans
towards like a skill instead of just being like, oh, like,
don't worry, You're never gonna fall or get punished here.
It's like, no, you got to be able to like
know when you could pull off wall running, and I
think it feels fantastic. I don't know, it just really hits. Now.
You got the movement right, which not a lot of
actual ind three D platformers pull off. So you've won
a huge part of the battle here.
Speaker 1: For me as someone who like I consider myself a
connoisseur of three D platformers whatever, it's one of my
favorite genres, and I'm pretty harsh on a lot of
indie games that try to match the energy of the
bigger ones. What what are you doing in the game, Like,
like what are the questions? It's like there's been some
like puzzles and stuff, and I think it's pretty fun
what they what?
Speaker 2: I think what it's doing that is going to.
Speaker 1: Help it is for all of these things that has
you doing. It is about using the movement to do
fun stuff. And it's like, as long as it sticks
to that, I think it's gonna end up being pretty awesome.
So the game's on Kickstarter now, I think he's getting
pretty close to get in. It's like halfway towards its
funding goal or whatever, and it's got a lot of
days left, so I hope it it hits it because
apparently he said that the publishers dropped it, so that's
why he's going to Kickstarter and it's coming out later
this year. It's gonna be on Switch. Yeah, I think
this is one that people should check out for sure,
so big hops.
Speaker 2: I think that's uh yeah, this looks really promising, you know.
I keep We've had some good indie three D platforms
for sure, but we haven't had like that shovel Night
moment like for for kind of we have not indie
games in that style, you know, where it's like, Wow,
this is like just as good and maybe better than
a lot of the games it's inspired by, and it's
gonna happen. It's gonna happen eventually though, Like we're gonna
get one of those games, and I think it, like
switched to anything is gonna help. Yes, it seems like
I had of time, which I don't think was there.
But part of the problem is that just never run
ran very well on Switch one right, and that should
hopefully not be as much a problem with the newer hardware,
so I definitely want to try this out. I'm excited.
I don't know if this is going to be that
game I know. I don't know that.
Speaker 1: I think in terms of feeling good to play it
is that game. Is it as fun throughout to do
all this stuff in the game? What that That remains
to be seen, And I'm very excited about the possibility.
It's the very least I think it's going to be good.
Whether or not it like lives up to the best
in the genre, which is a tall order. Like you said,
that is not that should not be the measuring stick,
but for me sometimes it kind of is, because I'm like, oh,
I get in my head that these games are going
to be the successor that I've been looking for, and
they don't always they never really have done that. So
maybe this one could at least be the closest and
that that would be great. Other than that, I did.
I did start Night Rain yesterday, and I don't know.
I think I just I do like being back.
Speaker 2: In that world. I do like having the from soft
like combat, like you know, the dodging, the pairing, the
weapons system is pretty cool, and the fact that it
is a rogue light, so you're getting cool weapons with
cool like one time, or you know, abilities that you
you would have to work a really long time to
get otherwise, and that they feel good given it to
you because you're probably gonna lose it here pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: All that works really well for me, except for I
don't want to I don't want to need to be
with two other people.
Speaker 2: It's such a big part of the problem, man. And
it's because it's like, well, it's you either better have
a crew that you can play this game with a lot,
so you better be really okay with playing with randalls
all the time. And I think a lot of people
aren't gonna have either of those things. It's just it's
a difficult as suspect, you know. So it's one thing
with you know, freaking etex legends, right, It's just a
lot of people are going to be playing shooters. I
think even though Eltering was this giant hit, I don't know.
I am just shocked they didn't make a better balanced
single player mode, or at least the duos. But it
still trives to me wild when it's like they're like,
we've never even thought about doing a duo's mode. Well,
that's weird. Is this the first thing I thought of
when you announce this, Like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, And it's like, you know the fact that
they do enable you to play single player, but they
don't really super rebalanced things.
Speaker 3: Just why not.
Speaker 2: From software is so weird with this stuff.
Speaker 1: Because they just seem obsessed with multiplayer and not even
talk about like this game in the next game because
you keep bringing that up. But like that switch one
is going to be a big question mark for from
Soft fans, like the recent from Soft cult, like they're
gonna have to ask themselves a lot of questions.
Speaker 3: About how they feel about this.
Speaker 1: But in all their games they have an emphasis on
on multiplayer and interactions between players, and I think most
people do not think about the games that way. And
I'm sure they think about the hint system or the
messaging system and stuff like that that's of course built
in and ingrained, but actually like teaming up with people
or whatever, or even summoning people, it's like, oh, this
is an arcane system. I'll try to figure it out
for help. Yeah, what's that Christian.
Speaker 5: Even back in the day with demons als and the
whole I will tend this and stuff they deal with yeah,
that is multiplayer in some shape or form. So yeah,
they were hell aware about multiplayers since ages ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so I just like wonder what, like the
like motive is there, or like what the impetus is
behind all this, like what they're really trying to accomplish.
But because even like when Miyazaki talks about he's like,
I don't even like playing multiplayer.
Speaker 2: I'm like, what the fuck you? What are you talking about?
Speaker 3: Why did you keep doing this?
Speaker 2: I mean, I like multiplayer games, I do, but it's
I don't know. I just also like the option to
play by myself. So I think this one's gonna be tough.
Multiplayer's fun, but it's especially when you're very busy, it's
kind of can become another barrier in some way. So yeah,
a multiplayer only just it's always been sometimes a tough
ask for me. But you know, that's not all of it, really.
I think just I'm very curious what people are going
to think. You know, the reviews were like A seventy
eight or seventy nine, and I wonder if the actual
sense of if for everyone's going to be around there?
Did you see I think I talked to you before this.
I thought I saw there was some kind of note
from the publisher or something saying that the game may
not run well on newer graphics cards. I hope that's right.
I'm not just had that out there, But that'll be
a problem, that's true. I don't know. There's a part
of me thinks that some I think some people are
really not going to like I think some people are
going to really like it. I think some people are
really going to be thrown off it. Again, this thing
is surprisingly inspired by Fortnite in a lot of ways
that may not be a happy surprise for other people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the number of times that you told me there
was a circle that shrinks, and then the way that
I was still shocked when it actually happened in the game.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's Fortnite. What the fuck is this
actually Fortnite? Why did I ignore mic all those times?
And it's like, yeah, no, it really is that game.
It's I mean, at.
Speaker 1: A certain point, every developer's got to have some curiosity
about a game that could just make money forever and
just print stuff. So I get it. But boy, it
feels like a weird mash up in a lot of ways.
Speaker 2: So I I still having fun playing it though, so
it's a really tough game for me to assess.
Speaker 3: In especially the little if I've played of it.
Speaker 1: But we're gonna play more tomorrow, so people should tune
in for that and we'll see from there.
Speaker 3: Other than that, not much, not much time for anything else.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to pick a game, probably gonna be
clear obscure and really focus on that when I get
back home, and looking forward to doing that. More Roadcraft
as well, but we'll be playing that tomorrow, yeah as well,
so people can catch that onboarding.
Speaker 2: I need to do that or can I just open
that baby up? I imagine I think you should be
able to just join my multiplayer game.
Speaker 3: But Christian, maybe maybe we could test it out tonight.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we can test it out done, see how it goes.
Speaker 2: Okay, Uh, all right, I think that does it for
what we've been playing. Mike Manatti anymore super chats?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: Yeah? A few more here from a just Rex says
lady who was in charge of the Uya was a yapper,
claim the Controur was unique for having a touch pad
at the Dulstock four was already out. Yeah, you know,
they're just somebody doing their best with what little they had,
you know, yo, promote them.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's that yap. That's like a worker right there.
Speaker 3: This is yeah, that's a sale a salesman.
Speaker 2: Right yeah. That was.
Speaker 1: That was like an early massive Kickstarter success. And that
kind of only happens if you're out there making big promises,
which that thing was, and a lot of people myself included,
brought into it.
Speaker 3: So uh, yeah, that was. You're not wrong.
Speaker 1: Necessarily that she apped a lot, but I think it
was with a purpose, and then when she didn't have
that purpose anymore, she stopped yapping. So I think, like
clearly there's a tie there, which wouldn't have made her
make the list.
Speaker 2: Rapid Virre says, my doctor suggested that I use grock
Ai for dietary advice today should I find a new
doc or am I being a judgmental prick please offer
medical advice for I think for dietary advice that seems rough.
Speaker 1: I still maintained that like talking to a chat gibt
or something like that, for if you have very specific
symptoms and like a blood test, you can give that
to an AI, because AI's been good at that stuff
for long before we even been talking about chat.
Speaker 2: Gebt like go let's web ad shit right, yeah, Watson,
like going back to IBM's IBM's Watson like fifteen years
ago was already better than human oncologists a diagnosing cancer
and stuff like that. So it's the kind of thing
that these systems are very good at. But you just can't.
Speaker 1: You can't go much beyond that. You have to just
like be like, Okay, I've got some idea. Now, this
is better than googling my symptoms because that's always going
to lead to cancer.
Speaker 2: But you're still gonna have to talk to an extent.
Speaker 4: Is there a cancer?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 5: Oh, you choose a headache or you have cancer?
Speaker 4: This is Google don't.
Speaker 2: Ever, don't don't google it ever. Yeah, so yeah, I would.
I would talk to a dietician instead. Wiley Jenkins says,
we need a giant bomb kozy. I bet they have koozies.
I'll look around. It's like, because I'm wondering a lot
about this store because there's certain things that are printed
one way. Other things need to be stitched on and
that's maybe a bit more expensive and they might not
be made to order. It's much easier for us if
things are made to order as opposed to we get
to buy I don't know, a hundred of them and
like hope we sell them that kind of thing. It's
also a different file type that has to get uploaded.
Speaker 1: So I did one time for the B week shirt,
Mike made an embroidery thing, Like there's a specific kind
of file you have to do because they have to
go tell the machine how to actually sew it into
the shirt. So I figured out how to do that.
So if we ever want to do an embroidered thing,
I can help you figure that out.
Speaker 2: My mic because they're like, well, so I was looking
at hats because you know, I thought maybe doing a
rat that would probably be embroidered. Yeah, yeah, but it
might be complicate. Also, there's like no way to get
one with like one color for the rim and one
color for the hats. Would just have to be all
purple like mine purple with green. And I'm learning a lot, everybody,
I'm learning a lot.
Speaker 1: I saw it there was that thread on Reddit of
people like biking suggestions, and a fitted hat was one
thing that people are really calling. Now it's like we
have to I have to look at that because we
might have to order those.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, I'll keep looking everybody, okay, Matt
rare Monkey says Dike was like forty episodes of content
for one of yours. Yeah, that's not wrong, because there was.
Because the EGM did a negative like a preview at
E three. It's like a blast like all these Mark
McDonald Yeah, Mark McDonald did it for two human and
was like I don't know about this, like that could
And then they had Dannis Dyke on the show for
some reason, and Danis Dyke was furious and he was like,
you're not allowed to inject opinion into a preview. That
was unfair, blah blah blah, and like, yeah, not backing
down from it at all. So it's very interesting.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I tweeted the Chris Pratt one.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to here pretty soon, our next up next,
and people are people are enjoying that.
Speaker 2: Chris Pratt says, I have bad news everyone. I have
also not been invited to lend my voice for the remake.
It doesn't say does it say persona personal for.
Speaker 1: Whoever's doing this really gets it.
Speaker 2: Clearly it's Chris Pratt. That's how they know so well.
But it just looks up Chris Pratt to try to
see the tweet you did. Got have to look you up.
I have to look you up. Oh oh that should
do numbers. Next up is from rick Youdigh says, is
Teching Cross Street Fighter just dead? It's dead? Right? Oh
that's super dead. That's incorrect. So you'll you'll maybe the
best you can hope for a street fighter guest characters
in techn that's the best.
Speaker 1: Which that's what you want now, right, more than this.
I would rather have the guest characters than techn No, no,
you don't, okay for a little bit there, well no yeah,
tech sure, tech yeah, tech and it's a problem, sure,
but I mean I don't think they would do it
for like future techans.
Speaker 4: I was, would I suffer the Kuma intaken? So please no? Yeah,
if you do.
Speaker 2: It, okay, want it? That's right. They did do this
before they did put a Kuma in tech In. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah like that that was the backbone of whatever
Teching Cross Street Fighter was going to be. Is what
a Kuma ended up being in Tech and seven. But
also the reason you'll never see it is because street
fire across tech In was sort of like a hand
down to like pull teching up when I was struggling,
street Fire four was doing really well. Now both techn
and street Fire doing excellent, so they don't need the
crossover for cross promotion. You know, you know, yep.
Speaker 2: The last one here is from Big Fresh thirty seven.
It's this deep respect for not spelling taller rico, right
while Jeff, you jerk.
Speaker 3: Not No, this is the respect to Big Fresh thirty seven.
Speaker 4: One.
Speaker 3: Have it no other way and you're welcome anytime.
Speaker 2: Looks like it looks like that. So looks like we
are caught up excellent, all right, Mike Minati, where can
people find you on the internet? Tokta on Blue Sky,
to Coto on Twitch, manjin Utter of games Beat, co
owner of Giant Bomb. We got some other community nights
happening over on the game mess channel. People are gonna
be playing jack Box at nine pm Eastern tomorrow and
then Marvel Rivals on Saturday at nine pm. So if
you are a member of our Discord group, you should
be able to hang out and join those if you
are so inclined to play.
Speaker 1: Thank you to everyone who's been showing up for these
and handling handling these. I would love to be partaking
in them. I've been very busy, but I'm going to
try to jump into.
Speaker 2: Some of them. Yeah, so yeah, that'll be good. The
game as game up, I know we start to do
the Prints episode and get a pull started, so I'll
try to do it at some point, maybe next week
before we leave. It might be after Summer Game Fest.
I can't it's been very very busy, but we'll get
on that all right, Very good.
Speaker 5: Says feed for the patron. She'll be fixed. If there's
any issue, please DMS, DMJV or me and we'll take
care of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I meanto.
Speaker 1: I meant to say something on Nintendogs that was like
right when I was trying to figure it out.
Speaker 2: But if the if the Patreon feed got messed up
for you should be working entirely now. If for some
reason it's not, if you don't see the latest Nintendogs
episode on there, I guess how are you even listening
to this?
Speaker 1: But whatever, If you don't see the latest Nintendogs episode
on there, if you don't see this episode on there,
you'll have to go back to Patreon and get a
new personal, updated RSS feed. But it seems like it
shifted everyone over. We have not been getting many complaints anymore,
so I.
Speaker 2: Think it should be all good.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that was just a Patreon a cast breaking
up thing, so nothing to worry about there.
Speaker 2: And now my Moosecakes says, how do we feel about
Chris Pratt playing Rick O'Connell in The Mummy Atlanta's video
game made by the Coalition and Unreal Engine five.
Speaker 1: I'm very excited. I need that. That's that's the dream
right there when I'm stopping some mumbas. Thanks for watching, everybody,
Thanks for listening. Until next time, have a good one,
Take care of yourself and goodbye.

enough so hopefully it's just waiting for us.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know what, when you guys are making the YouTube things,

remember to manually kill it. I'm gonna I should do
it that way. Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna have to

like these people all universally suck. But no, Yeapper's good.
