Speaker 6: Okay, you know that you now you know that'll turn
Speaker 6: your tongue black. Right, Yeah, but that's cool. Why does
Speaker 6: that happen.
Speaker 5: Because the the bis mal is is like a mineral
Speaker 5: that like is black.
Speaker 6: I think that's I think it's that simple.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the liquid is pink, but bismol itself, the pepto
Speaker 5: is pink and it overpowers the bis maol.
Speaker 6: All right, Okay.
Speaker 2: I used to.
Speaker 6: Really enjoy the taste of that concoction. What yeah, when
Speaker 6: I was a kid. When I was a kid, I
Speaker 6: used to like take it. I'd be like, I'd be like, hey,
Speaker 6: on one hand, I got a tummy ache. On the other,
Speaker 6: I get to drink this thing. I kind of enjoyed.
Speaker 5: Funny because Mike is not like work like this is
Speaker 5: not him building it up at all. That's just his
Speaker 5: genuine reaction to this information.
Speaker 7: Was the most cartoon what I've ever heard. We really
Speaker 7: need that isolate.
Speaker 2: Like nobody like nobody liked the taste of pepto bis
Speaker 2: We always need that purple.
Speaker 4: Tamata was good.
Speaker 6: You know again, this is when I was a bit
Speaker 6: ship was pepto? Yes, children.

Speaker 7: burger tonight, and she goes, what And I said, yeah,
Speaker 7: I'm I'm gonna get mustard on and she's like, what else,
Speaker 7: We'll meat and.
Speaker 4: Cheese at least do ketchup.
Speaker 7: I didn't realize that was such a thing, Like it
Speaker 7: has to be mustard and ketchup, and people.
Speaker 4: Don't do the mustard.
Speaker 7: Well, I burger and so I did two at once.
Speaker 7: It was crazy and it was fucking good.
Speaker 1: They're like a tag team Dan like.
Speaker 7: But like a peanut butter sandwich is good. I mean,
Speaker 7: jelly adds something makes it a little different. But like
Speaker 7: bonk was kind of like like, oh, just mustard would
Speaker 7: be weird.
Speaker 6: It needs to be like in some sort of office
Speaker 6: of like international political power, and you.

Speaker 2: I swear to God if the takeaway from everything that
Speaker 2: just happened is that I'm weird because I only like
Speaker 2: mustard on my burgers are not ketchup.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna no, no, no, no, Joe, Mustard's not weird.
Speaker 5: That's that's it's weird.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: The no larger than seeking validation from other people.
Speaker 7: Mike, Well, I'm gonna see validations and chat securities from
Speaker 7: my childhood.
Speaker 4: Chat says, have I tried honey mustard?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 7: Sorry, I forgot to mention that when I got my
Speaker 7: McDonald's order on Friday or Saturday, it was a cheeseburger
Speaker 7: with mustard and ketchup and nuggets with honey mustard dip,
Speaker 7: and they were both awesome.
Speaker 6: The mustard you had it, s g F. I think
Speaker 6: was like a Mayo mustard sort of concoction.
Speaker 8: There is pretty pale, right, man, Oh my god, you
Speaker 8: just blew on.
Speaker 7: What the hell?
Speaker 2: What I try that to?
Speaker 6: Have you had? Where do you land on?
Speaker 2: Mayo?
Speaker 7: So here's the here's the shoot answer to that. This
Speaker 7: is a three point oh answer. You've never heard three
Speaker 7: point answer.
Speaker 6: Just be normal, Just be normal, three bright normal.
Speaker 5: That's what three point brother is something a normal man?
Speaker 6: At forty one, we've hit normal.
Speaker 4: Here's the real answer.
Speaker 7: Okay, it weirds me out in a way that like
Speaker 7: if I hear something as mayo or if it's just
Speaker 7: straight up raw dog mayo, I will bristle.
Speaker 4: And I probably have not had it.
Speaker 7: But I've been having aoli for years on staying what
Speaker 7: and stuff like that, and I love it. And I've
Speaker 7: been doing the thing where Chad is like aoli's just mayonnaise,
Speaker 7: and I realized they're probably certainly right, but I'm going
Speaker 7: to act like obstinate and be like, well, that's not
Speaker 7: possibly true.
Speaker 4: It's aoli. It's a different thing. Got into my head.
Speaker 7: I'm pretty sure no one's lying to me about aoli
Speaker 7: being mayonnaise. But I can convince myself that I'm not
Speaker 7: having mayonnaise, so like, it's easy enough for me to
Speaker 7: believe I've never had mayonnaise, but realistically I've probably had
Speaker 7: it in a million different things, and I'm just telling
Speaker 7: myself it's not there.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 6: I think Dan three point zero is also an idiot,
Speaker 6: but also, yeah, go ahead, man, I don't like raw
Speaker 6: dog mayonnaise.
Speaker 2: I do, like I eat a lot of things make
Speaker 2: with mayonnaise, for sure, but I want, like, even if
Speaker 2: it's just like a squirt of saracha, what's something in
Speaker 2: the mayo?
Speaker 4: Mike, I am with you.
Speaker 7: On that, But He's like, that's like the Popeyes chicken
Speaker 7: sandwich things had. It's like my favorite fucking thing in
Speaker 7: fast food, and I know they straight up call it
Speaker 7: spicy mayo, and I think just putting that spice in
Speaker 7: it and having to be a Little Red is like.
Speaker 5: Mayo's a base in a lot of things like that
Speaker 5: of dressings.
Speaker 6: May I suggest QP.
Speaker 2: Mayo like the Japanese stuff that is like.
Speaker 6: A Mayo, A Japanese Mayo three was a big boy.
Speaker 4: He doesn't need to kid himself. I can just have
Speaker 4: rad Dog Mayo next time.
Speaker 7: But I'm just.
Speaker 6: Saying cute, QP. You will like it's got a bit
Speaker 6: of a tang.
Speaker 2: In Dog Mayo.
Speaker 1: I don't like it.
Speaker 6: It's nice. I'm just gonna I'm just gonna posit that
Speaker 6: for you in the group to expand your male horizons.
Speaker 6: I'm opening what happened?
Speaker 7: I've heard Ranch has mayonnaise in it, and I love
Speaker 7: her answer, like I've realized I've been having mayonnaise in life.
Speaker 5: This is growth. I'm still waiting for five point zh
Speaker 5: but here, you don't hold your horses. Okay, so you're
Speaker 5: shooting shoot with me for real?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 5: Is that the third time you've had ketchup? You said
Speaker 5: before you've had it like maybe twice. Sure, So do
Speaker 5: you think you really think that's the third time in
Speaker 5: your life you've had ketchup?
Speaker 6: Real?
Speaker 4: Answer?
Speaker 7: Okay, well no, no, no, no, no, hang on, not third No,
Speaker 7: I probably tried it on fries for the first time
Speaker 7: at McDonald's while I was a game informers. This would
Speaker 7: definitely be between nine and twenty fourteen. I tried it
Speaker 7: on fries. I four shoot, had never had it on
Speaker 7: a burder. I don't think I have had ketchup on
Speaker 7: anything but fries or maybe like potato wedges once or
Speaker 7: twice at some point, but even then it is probably
Speaker 7: in the like it's not three. But I don't think
Speaker 7: I've had it twenty times. Okay, but this is definitely
Speaker 7: the first time I've had it on.
Speaker 5: It basically right right to have it less than twenty
Speaker 5: times in forty one years, Yes, it's basically having it
Speaker 5: two times because I.
Speaker 7: Get dipped from my fries all the time. It's always
Speaker 7: ran to barbecue sauce. But if I'm in a situation
Speaker 7: where it's just ketchup, now, I will have ketch up.
Speaker 4: You know, It's fine.
Speaker 6: Look, you know a lot of the same way that
Speaker 6: I deal with you is the way I deal with
Speaker 6: my son, And I think the good thing in that
Speaker 6: sort of world is like he tries shit and he
Speaker 6: likes it. So that's where you're at. Yes, yeah, and
Speaker 6: I love that for you. Yes, that's why I love that.
Speaker 6: You're just trying shit out and you're liking the majority
Speaker 6: of the things you try out. That's called growth. And
Speaker 6: who can be met at that?
Speaker 1: You know what, Dan, I'm happy for you sampling at
Speaker 1: the Buffet of life.
Speaker 7: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Jan Yeah, drink, that's what Robin Williams.
Speaker 6: You know what I want to get past. I want
Speaker 6: to get past the fucking bullshit where you're like, I
Speaker 6: don't like the color of this, therefore I'm not eating
Speaker 6: it or trying.
Speaker 7: That's That's never been the case, you know. I've liked
Speaker 7: okay with what all the time.
Speaker 6: That looks weird, it's probably got pickles in it or lettuce.
Speaker 6: I'm not eating it. Color though, dude, whatever, I'll eat
Speaker 6: all the colors something that you don't eat based solely
Speaker 6: on appearance. I'm done.
Speaker 2: I don't like this anymore. Don't worry.
Speaker 7: You're almost done with the Rikers this week now with
Speaker 7: truck on Thursday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2: I didn't.
Speaker 1: Maybe I planned my little camping trip to coincide with that.
Speaker 3: That's smart, smart he is, like, what is he gonna
Speaker 3: beta branch or.
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 6: But I respect that Jane. That's smart, that's thinking.
Speaker 2: Head Hardo Gonzalez says. The new guy at work has
Speaker 2: been trying to get everyone to try peanut butter banana
Speaker 2: and mayo sandwiches.
Speaker 5: Banana, I'm sure that's fine, is awesome. You put me
Speaker 5: on a sandwich, it disappears into the bread. It just
Speaker 5: makes the bread wet. That's the thing.
Speaker 2: My issue is not the mayo bread wet.
Speaker 4: Have you had a peanut butter burgers?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I try, I would try, said, Yeah, striker, A
Speaker 1: striker made me order one once.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a gimmick, but it's not a bad one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, y'all, y'all got like a favorite burger gimmick that
Speaker 1: you like that.
Speaker 7: You will completely Cowboy the Cowboy burger type thing where
Speaker 7: it's like barbecue, sauce, rings Rogers, the Toy Soldiers burger.
Speaker 6: There waiting the movie tie in burger.
Speaker 7: Yeah it was small so Small Soldiers.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Toy Soldiers is a very different movie shot.
Speaker 7: That's an xbo a.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, Yeah, the Rodeo Burger. I don't know why
Speaker 2: I remember this the thing about the time, but the
Speaker 2: radio Burger was originally a tie in with Small Soldiers
Speaker 2: and it just stuck herd.
Speaker 5: I was working there when that, when that happened, and
Speaker 5: that so you triggered me in a very violent way.
Speaker 2: It was I'm actually kind of mad.
Speaker 6: So and that's just the idea of like barbecue sauce
Speaker 6: and onions and ship Yeah, onion rings on your ring.
Speaker 2: Maybe bacon, bacon, bacon.
Speaker 5: I feel like bacon can be a part of that
Speaker 5: can be, but it's not necessary for a rodeo burger.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I always enjoy an egg on my frid Egg
Speaker 2: had done that.
Speaker 4: Yet, but I I could do.
Speaker 7: I remember one time at E three, Abby ordered pizzas
Speaker 7: with eggs. So this is another summertime video game convention
Speaker 7: pizza controversy. We had, you know, Backlars fuck up and
Speaker 7: then Abby also ordered pizza once and I had egg
Speaker 7: all over it, and I remember just being like, what
Speaker 7: the hell is this and.
Speaker 2: Why would you do this there?
Speaker 7: And she and she wanted me to try it, and
Speaker 7: I was like, that was that was Dan, That was
Speaker 7: new Dan. He didn't try new things.
Speaker 6: I just keep remembering Abby getting that crab at that
Speaker 6: seafood place.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 6: You told me, oh my lord, I don't think you
Speaker 6: were there, maybe not that's just when I think this
Speaker 6: was when we were like not telling you stuff.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 5: One of my favorite moments of SGF was we were
Speaker 5: talking about Fortnite and I said, I'm still kind of
Speaker 5: a pubg guy, and Abby almost to herself, was like still.
Speaker 6: They made me laugh.
Speaker 2: Hell, you get me.
Speaker 1: When Abby burns you, it's like a specific kind of burn,
Speaker 1: and it's.
Speaker 5: Like, yeah, it owns. Yeah, it's like wow, directly laser targeted.
Speaker 2: Did Dan, do you have a food that you don't
Speaker 2: like that you just kind of keep eating out of
Speaker 2: shame or you keep hoping like I'll be honest, I
Speaker 2: don't know. I love eggs and I still just keep
Speaker 2: and I keep trying to turn around on it. I
Speaker 2: ate that whole egg that was in my ramen. I'm like,
Speaker 2: everybody loves this, it must be good, and meaning I'm like,
Speaker 2: that's still kind of weird.
Speaker 6: Why did you go back and forth on though?
Speaker 7: Here's here's the thing, and like I and again, this
Speaker 7: is three point zero. I eat eggs as much as
Speaker 7: like there's been an old you know, the cooking and
Speaker 7: egg chills and all that stuff. That's all true, but
Speaker 7: I eat it regularly, and I am kind of like
Speaker 7: unless I loaded that with so much like pepper jack
Speaker 7: cheese that I can't even like really taste the egg.
Speaker 7: They just kind of make me queasy and not in
Speaker 7: a weird way. I just don't love the taste of eggs. Really,
Speaker 7: don't you breakfast stuf in general.
Speaker 2: Everybody much, they're putting eggs on more things than ever.
Speaker 6: That eggs, bananas, super food. You're gonna live forever. If
Speaker 6: you don't like them, don't eat them. But yeah, they're
Speaker 6: putting them on everything. That's fine because.
Speaker 5: You can make an egg in a way that makes
Speaker 5: it at least palatable to a lot of butter and cheese.
Speaker 6: Most people like eggs. You're getting eggs. It's got a
Speaker 6: lot of butter.
Speaker 1: I saw someone make a breaded fried egg sandwich and
Speaker 1: it kind of mad my brain.
Speaker 6: Amazing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, eggs are like one of those foods where it's
Speaker 5: like in this white that's so expensive, I want them
Speaker 5: every day.
Speaker 6: But in everything they're also being everything. They're used as
Speaker 6: like a bonding game everywhere, Like no, I know you're
Speaker 6: talking about like you know, over easy scrambled. I just
Speaker 6: don't like them, really don't.
Speaker 2: Like even when we had that deviled egg at that
Speaker 2: one restaurant in l A. I like the filling, but
Speaker 2: then there's just this weird kind of egg base and
Speaker 2: I like try to eat that like yum. People like
Speaker 2: these and I'm like, oh, this egg part is just
Speaker 2: so weird.
Speaker 6: I think I could eat ten hard boiled eggs in
Speaker 6: a row.
Speaker 1: All right, TGAs that's the segment, yeah, with the with
Speaker 1: with no yoke.
Speaker 2: I want yolk.
Speaker 5: Okay, that doesn't that's apparently that's you're eating air at
Speaker 5: that point.
Speaker 6: I know, but that's like a tremendous amount of cholesterol.
Speaker 6: I just don't cholesterol. That's I love.
Speaker 4: Yeah, over eating. Last night, I made a real bad choice.
Speaker 7: So we had a whole Dairy Queen birthday ice cream
Speaker 7: cake in the freezer, and it's just like we had
Speaker 7: a ton of it left. And last night I was
Speaker 7: high and playing Destraining two and Bunk brought me a
Speaker 7: slice of Dairy Queen ice cream cake that was just
Speaker 7: so fucking chunky and giant and probably fifteen hundred calories
Speaker 7: on its own, and then I had another one afterwards,
Speaker 7: and my whole face was like sweaty. I didn't sleep
Speaker 7: well last night just because I had almost like half
Speaker 7: of an ice cream cake after a big dinner.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I played Foh yeah, all right. I kind
Speaker 1: of pieced together in my head why I had such
Speaker 1: a bad tummy ache the last day of SGF.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: And then I was like, I think that morning I
Speaker 1: was feeling a little bit more anxious. So my bright idea,
Speaker 1: And keep in mind the night before I did drink
Speaker 1: half of a big buzzball and then when I was
Speaker 1: cleaning up my desk situation, I realized, oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: polished off the rest of this Jack Daniel's bottle. Now
Speaker 1: the morning I was like, oh, I'm a little bit
Speaker 1: like nervous about today and shooting everything, so let's just
Speaker 1: take more of my antidepressants.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 5: And then I think they recommend that you should mix
Speaker 5: that with a jack Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then I was like, oh, you know what, feeling
Speaker 1: a little bit sicky. Pooh, let me throw in a
Speaker 1: day quill in there.
Speaker 2: I want this to not sound judgy at all, but
Speaker 2: I just ended up drinking very little during SGF, honestly,
Speaker 2: and I recommend it. I feel great, Yeah, fun, what's
Speaker 2: that you think you're better than me? I think I
Speaker 2: might be getting further and Seco than you, So maybe
Speaker 2: for that, but for this.
Speaker 1: No, well he said the magic word, and the magic
Speaker 1: word was the name of a video game. Mike Manati,
Speaker 1: you were playing arguably one of my favorite games of
Speaker 1: all time that I may or may not have finished
Speaker 1: off of stream, and I haven't said that out loud
Speaker 1: because that would make a couple of people anger out. Uh, Mike,
Speaker 1: you've been playing Sechiro Jan.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry I insinuated I was better than you.
Speaker 2: Clearly not the case. Not only did you you know
Speaker 2: how much I would have to let everybody know if
Speaker 2: I beat Sekero, right, it's a major character flaw, like
Speaker 2: I did that on stream. Who gives a little shit?
Speaker 2: This game's very good, loah, this game rules. Like is
Speaker 2: this like the best action game in terms of like
Speaker 2: just like sword action game, right, because.
Speaker 1: That's the genre here. Yeah, I've been chasing this high
Speaker 1: for forever now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because like it's almost less of that typical frum
Speaker 2: Soft thing than Ale was expecting, because you know, like Bloodborne,
Speaker 2: Oh it's dark Souls, but you know, Victorian, you have
Speaker 2: a gun mostly for counters. Blah blah blah. It's like, okay,
Speaker 2: so this is just gonna be you know, uh Samurai
Speaker 2: Dark Souls and like, no, a lot of the RPG
Speaker 2: stuff is out of in terms of the character customization.
Speaker 2: The class is even leveling up. There's some progression item sure,
Speaker 2: but you know, all that stuff almost feels more Devil
Speaker 2: May Cry than Dark Souls. And then you have all
Speaker 2: the verticality with the wall jump in in the grappling hook. Oh,
Speaker 2: I love me a good grappling hook.
Speaker 7: It's a good hook.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And I know we've been using the term perry
Speaker 2: slop parenthesies negative. Perry Slop is nothing but parenthesis positive
Speaker 2: for me all day long. God, I love Parrying and
Speaker 2: video games. It's so good. I've been thinking about it
Speaker 2: too much. It's almost like this point where game criticism
Speaker 2: as an idea breaks down, right because it's like, I
Speaker 2: like Parrying. I don't well exactly, I can't write like
Speaker 2: five paragraphs to defend my position here, but it feels
Speaker 2: fantastic for me. The game is still absolutely gorgeous. You know,
Speaker 2: I love in these games where I do come across
Speaker 2: up Boston. Maybe I could just go and do something
Speaker 2: else in this In this game a little bit less
Speaker 2: so there are some upgrades, but it's not like I
Speaker 2: can just go grind enemies. Yeah, yeah, So you know,
Speaker 2: Madam Butterfly was her name, and I think a lot
Speaker 2: of people say she's one of the first quote unquote roadblocks.
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, just fight this boss for like
Speaker 2: two hours, learn its mechanics, and then like on an
Speaker 2: attempt forty take it down. And it feels so freaking
Speaker 2: good to do that. It feels amazing. So yeah, like
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of hype on this one, but
Speaker 2: it's already one of my favorite from soft games for sure.
Speaker 4: That one is so cool.
Speaker 7: That game, but it's like the only from Soft games
Speaker 7: I've really beaten in the Soul's series or whatever is
Speaker 7: like Bloodborne. I know it's not the Soul series, but
Speaker 7: souls Borne, Like yeah, Bloodborne and elden Ring because I'll
Speaker 7: just grind and grind and grind and grind and over
Speaker 7: level myself and then I can go fight something. But
Speaker 7: like Secio, I can't remember if I beat Madame Butterfly,
Speaker 7: and I feel like I played like ten plus hours
Speaker 7: of Secio and it was just dying and dying and
Speaker 7: dying because like I can never I can never get
Speaker 7: the perrying thing down or whatever. So like, I respect
Speaker 7: those games so much, but I just I hit a
Speaker 7: roadblock always pretty early and stop.
Speaker 2: Right cause, like again like a Bloodborn or a Dark Souls,
Speaker 2: it's like, well, you know they don't have parrying, isn't
Speaker 2: a thing get to do a ton of you can block,
Speaker 2: you can just the role. There's other things you can do.
Speaker 2: You can have a build that's very range this game. No,
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to parry and swing your sword actually,
Speaker 2: so it's definitely a bit more rigid, but it's also
Speaker 2: a play style that I love. Like, if I could
Speaker 2: choose play styles, this would be the one I would
Speaker 2: want to go to anyways. But they do fun things
Speaker 2: with that. Since you're not making a player character and
Speaker 2: all this stuff, you know, you actually are a character
Speaker 2: who is a bit of a story, not a ton
Speaker 2: of Ba's like he's talking all the time. But there's
Speaker 2: a little bit more going on here narrative wise. It's
Speaker 2: not just a lore and I love that. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm using this too much. I love the lore slop
Speaker 2: in the dark slop them for sure, but yeah, I
Speaker 2: like a little bit more framing here.
Speaker 5: Have you like put the piece together any of Like, oh,
Speaker 5: when you die. It affects the world and everyone's getting
Speaker 5: more upset and some characters are acting different and stuff
Speaker 5: like that. Because that stuff, like I noticed, I didn't
Speaker 5: fully understand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually just got like the item to cure
Speaker 2: them if I want to. But it's like one of
Speaker 2: those things where it's like, don't cure them unless like
Speaker 2: you need them for a side quest, and like, okay.
Speaker 2: That's always been my least favorite thing about these games
Speaker 2: is the oddly up too side quests that I usually
Speaker 2: just don't end up because I either don't do them
Speaker 2: or have to rigidly follow a guide or listen to
Speaker 2: my chat to see what to do, and I find
Speaker 2: that boring also, so maybe they're a bit more intuitive
Speaker 2: in this one. We'll see. Uh.
Speaker 5: And then I always whenever Secroo comes up, I have
Speaker 5: to mention that I beat Jinny Truro with while holding
Speaker 5: Addie when she was a baby, so she was sitting
Speaker 5: right here and.
Speaker 6: Like that that's all I needed to hear. Yep, and
Speaker 6: is tough?
Speaker 7: So yeah, is that the last boss?
Speaker 2: Uh? No? No, but he's like.
Speaker 5: One of the later game bosses for sure. O.
Speaker 2: Yeah, cool cool.
Speaker 7: I watched Kayla trying the last boss and she is
Speaker 7: like maybe the best gamer I've watched those type of games.
Speaker 7: And she that last boss. I've watched her for hours
Speaker 7: try to beat that and it just seems impossible.
Speaker 2: So you'll admit I'm better than her when I beat
Speaker 2: that boss.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I I I think you should challenge her, and
Speaker 7: I think that's a few I would watch. So yeah,
Speaker 7: you know what, I.
Speaker 2: Get to that final plaus I should tell her. She
Speaker 2: just both floated up at the same time.
Speaker 4: Oh, you should, that'd be great.
Speaker 5: And then, uh, this is a mount rushmore of games
Speaker 5: you don't actually want white people to say the correct way,
Speaker 5: like because it's it's like and it's like, you don't
Speaker 5: ever want me to say the game the right now.
Speaker 5: White people were like, people are like, you gotta to
Speaker 5: proounce the word the Japanese words, right. I'm like, you
Speaker 5: don't really want that, Like do you really want me
Speaker 5: going around saying like, no, come on.
Speaker 2: That's stupid. Now I kind of do okay, well just
Speaker 2: do you okay? All right? All right?
Speaker 1: Going from one incredibly tough game to another game that's
Speaker 1: just tough to look at mine's eye grub.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 6: This is a video game allegedly.
Speaker 2: You just laughing hearing the words of mind.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it is this year's punching bag deservedly.
Speaker 5: So I got really built up because it's Leslie Benzi's
Speaker 5: He's the guy that directed basically a lot of Rockstars
Speaker 5: games since, like GTA three and stuff like that, maybe
Speaker 5: even before I don't know, but yeah, he was instrumental
Speaker 5: to all of those games, and this was his first one.
Speaker 6: After leaving Rockstar.
Speaker 5: And it just feels completely duct taped together, and then
Speaker 5: between the duct tape is smoke and mirrors. There's nothing there.
Speaker 5: It's you drive to a mission, you shoot some guys,
Speaker 5: you drive back. If you go off the path, it's
Speaker 5: a game over kind of like yeah that the Red
Speaker 5: Red Redemption two does that, and I've complained about that
Speaker 5: that is not a fair comparison. That is like, well, no,
Speaker 5: we're gonna let you play a video game. This one's
Speaker 5: like no, don't even try actually to have fun here,
Speaker 5: or we'll shut the whole thing down.
Speaker 2: The excuse me.
Speaker 5: The only interesting thing that we really discovered was you
Speaker 5: could spaghettify seb. You could drive into your friend with
Speaker 5: your car after it gets out and he turns into
Speaker 5: a giant spaghetti monster, and that was the only time
Speaker 5: that that thing remotely looked like a fun thing to do.
Speaker 2: You keep saying spaghetti. The one time he did it
Speaker 2: for me, he turned into a tent. I couldn't.
Speaker 6: Yes, he did. He did, like pitched up like one
Speaker 6: of those auto tents. Yeah.
Speaker 7: One of my favorite things I've heard about this game
Speaker 7: is Giovanni from Digital Trends. I posted this, uh this
Speaker 7: link on Blue Sky. He said, quick spoiler for the game,
Speaker 7: But when you beat it, you unlock free roam mode,
Speaker 7: which contains quite literally nothing, and you were forced to
Speaker 7: play as this character by default and can't change anything
Speaker 7: about him. If you click that link, it is just
Speaker 7: a gray haired man and a gas mask and a
Speaker 7: turquoise crop top with the words can't drink dust over
Speaker 7: his belly button and tied I shorts and you have
Speaker 7: to be that.
Speaker 2: Look at this guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's you have to be that guy.
Speaker 2: What is this? Okay?
Speaker 5: I think I gotta unlock this. Let's all be him
Speaker 5: prowl this season nuts?
Speaker 2: What are you like?
Speaker 6: Why is this even a thing?
Speaker 1: I don't know?
Speaker 6: You can't can't drink dust man?
Speaker 2: What is that?
Speaker 4: The weirdest default character?
Speaker 2: Mag are we sure that the Bens did what he
Speaker 2: did for GTA?
Speaker 1: Are is there documentation?
Speaker 2: It's that, But like we see so much of these
Speaker 2: people who made their name on some big game or
Speaker 2: franchise golf through something else make the spiritual successor, and
Speaker 2: it just doesn't work out. You know, the Dai Katanas,
Speaker 2: the Mighty Number nine, the Balance Wonder World. There's a few, right,
Speaker 2: blood Stained, blood Stained, but it seems like more often
Speaker 2: than not, it's like, Oh, you need a whole team
Speaker 2: and support system and all this stuff to make these
Speaker 2: games happen, and just going off and doing your own
Speaker 2: with gumption and a lot of skeets, is it going
Speaker 2: to make it happen? Uh? Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think we said during the thing that this does
Speaker 5: honestly feel like the Mighty Number nine of GTA games,
Speaker 5: Like it really really does. So yeah, don't don't waste
Speaker 5: your money on it, just watch other people play it.
Speaker 5: Even that is kind of boring. So if this thing wasn't,
Speaker 5: like I guess it's like fifteen to twenty hours of
Speaker 5: these stupid ass missions, I would try to get to
Speaker 5: Can't Drink Man, But otherwise I'll to just live vicariously
Speaker 5: through Uh yeah, Giovanni over here.
Speaker 6: Is the character from the game. I don't understand.
Speaker 4: No, it sounds like it's not.
Speaker 6: It's just like a random mad Max like right off, guy, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh wait, chat, you're confused. We're saying bloodstain was
Speaker 2: the exception. Everyone's like blood stained and.
Speaker 5: That's not We're pretty clear no blood Yeah yeah, you
Speaker 5: were literally talking about exceptions and that's where we mentioned
Speaker 5: blood stains not our fault, and.
Speaker 2: That one's on you. Yeah, I'm sorry, all.
Speaker 1: Right, gang. Uh well, you know, the switch to came out,
Speaker 1: and I believe all of us now have he switched to.
Speaker 1: Shouts out to my boy Dan reb for selling me
Speaker 1: his uh. And one of those games that is occupying
Speaker 1: a lot of time is Mario Kurt.
Speaker 4: Whoa first though, grab.
Speaker 7: I saw your thing and I tried it about the
Speaker 7: kickstand serving.
Speaker 6: What do you think about this?
Speaker 7: Okay, so you did it where you had your fingers
Speaker 7: like I do.
Speaker 6: I do it in a bunch of different ways.
Speaker 5: I adjusted to like get comfortable whenever when removed strikes me.
Speaker 6: But that's one of the ways I've been doing it.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 7: Now here's the thing I saw in your comments that
Speaker 7: is my new way. You go all the way up.
Speaker 7: I like this, and there are these nubs here and
Speaker 7: then you can just rest and so this is just
Speaker 7: like you're it's like a grip like more so than
Speaker 7: the other way. So like go all the way up
Speaker 7: and then put your fingers on the.
Speaker 5: Back of audio listeners that are wondering exactly what's going on.
Speaker 5: Dan is holding his switch to and he's extended the
Speaker 5: kickstand while holding it, and he's kind of to put
Speaker 5: it all the way up, and he's found these nubbins
Speaker 5: there that his middle finger and his pinky finger sort
Speaker 5: of rest underneath, and it's supporting the whole switch to.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 5: I've been playing in a variation of this, and it
Speaker 5: makes it like super comfortable, to the point where it's
Speaker 5: like I wouldn't even consider getting grips now for this thame,
Speaker 5: especially if they're gonna get especially if they're gonna get
Speaker 5: in the way for.
Speaker 1: The audio listener. Mike Manatti, in the meantime, has also
Speaker 1: been juggling three oranges but being repulsed by them at
Speaker 1: the same time.
Speaker 2: Getting them getting the natural oil stuck on my fingies.
Speaker 6: I gotta say, I I don't like the heart. I
Speaker 6: don't like the ergonomics of the switch to you tried.
Speaker 5: Have you tried using the kickstand it's a grip.
Speaker 6: No, I'm legally forbidden.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're not to touch the kickstand. I think there's
Speaker 5: a season to asist.
Speaker 6: I've never even opened it up because I just, you know,
Speaker 6: I don't know if you found a way to kind
Speaker 6: of like organomically hack the grip on that thing. I
Speaker 6: don't know. It's it's it's making my hands like claw
Speaker 6: up in a weird way. I think like the steam
Speaker 6: deck is like kind of perfect for me. I've I
Speaker 6: don't know, I don't love it. I'm actually upset. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I mean, let's be real.
Speaker 5: The real analog stick below the butt the face buttons
Speaker 5: is just straight up worst than having it off to
Speaker 5: the left of the face buttons the way it.
Speaker 2: Is on the steam deck.
Speaker 5: It is you have to jut your thumb down.
Speaker 7: What do you consider the as the angle better?
Speaker 5: Like, Mike, I hear you. Here's interesting, I'm right and
Speaker 5: you're wrong. Like it's just I agreed, I have I.
Speaker 2: Don't think I've ever had a problem with almost any
Speaker 2: control device. So okay, I don't like the way the
Speaker 2: steep deck feels.
Speaker 6: Oh, but where the anale stick is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like it on the left of the face,
Speaker 2: butns it's weird to me, okay, just like you just
Speaker 2: move your thumb to the left.
Speaker 6: My problem is small.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 6: And it's like I'm get normal thumbs and then.
Speaker 2: The thumb nub. I don't know.
Speaker 1: This isn't the place to discuss this.
Speaker 6: Yeah, talk to your talk to you dead, talk to
Speaker 6: you dead.
Speaker 5: The switch to the stick is like, I don't mind
Speaker 5: an offset stick. People are like symmetrical versus offset.
Speaker 2: I don't mind it offset.
Speaker 5: I don't mind this. It's too far down. Yeah, there's
Speaker 5: a been your thumb too much.
Speaker 6: There's something going on where like I can play Mario
Speaker 6: Car for forty five minutes and I'm just like, I
Speaker 6: don't like what's happening with my hand stuff. Now it's
Speaker 6: a problem. It's the problem.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's well for me.
Speaker 7: I've never even thought of this, being like, I've never
Speaker 7: like considered the distance of the stick to the face.
Speaker 6: Preser, And it has everything to do with what it
Speaker 6: is physically doing to.
Speaker 7: My Sure, well you are the oldest here, so.
Speaker 6: Right, that's got nothing to do with it. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: what do you mean, Grubber, Are you oldest?
Speaker 2: I think so, aren't I?
Speaker 4: Normally he's fifty three?
Speaker 6: Wait a second, you didn't know I was. I'm a
Speaker 6: year older than you.
Speaker 2: I thought you were.
Speaker 6: I thought you I thought we were like the same agent.
Speaker 6: Oh and then you're birth We have like our birthdays
Speaker 6: are two days apart. But I'm eighty two, you're eighty three.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm the middle child of Giant Bomb.
Speaker 6: I'm the youngest Dan. You just dressed the oldest. Everyone
Speaker 6: else is younger. Okay, okay, uh yeah, No, it's got
Speaker 6: everything to do with the ergonomics, like it's so I
Speaker 6: don't know. I don't know, it's it's bad. And I
Speaker 6: also don't like Mario Kart. But that's an whole.
Speaker 7: Well, that's not a game that's ever come out. No
Speaker 7: game is called Mario Kart. So it's Mario Kart World.
Speaker 7: You normally he's also Mario Kart World. Drifty normally like
Speaker 7: Mario Kart and this one just isn't doing it for you?
Speaker 7: Or are you generally not a big Mario Kart fan?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 6: I enjoy it. I celebrate the whole franchise, for sure. Uh,
Speaker 6: there's I don't know. This one is just not landing
Speaker 6: with me. I think, you know. I was listening to
Speaker 6: the Next Lander podcast and what Alex said about the
Speaker 6: tracks all sort of like blending into each other. I
Speaker 6: think I'm on board with that. There's a way around
Speaker 6: not enough separation.
Speaker 4: We've hacked it. We figured about you hacked it.
Speaker 7: So instead of like if you're doing like an online
Speaker 7: Grand Prix, you know, four races, five races, whatever it,
Speaker 7: maybe you gotta press the plus button during the like
Speaker 7: when everyone's voting on the map, everyone has to press
Speaker 7: the plus button, and you can pick a map, pick
Speaker 7: a track that is not connected to the previous one,
Speaker 7: and then you will just do three laps like one
Speaker 7: on the option.
Speaker 5: You can like you could pick that track and then
Speaker 5: you can connect it to another one, or you just
Speaker 5: pick that track again and it'll do all three laps
Speaker 5: on that track.
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, I mean and so you don't know the
Speaker 4: in between stuff.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's on the the that's lower down
Speaker 6: the list on my grievances. I don't know, I'm not
Speaker 6: just I'm just not having as much fun with it
Speaker 6: as I did with eight when it first came out out.
Speaker 5: I just think I think it's a bit too chaotic,
Speaker 5: and that's my like small criticism that for me, would
Speaker 5: like put it out of seven out of ten, set
Speaker 5: of a D eight out of ten.
Speaker 1: I so love how chaotic is me too?
Speaker 2: Me too.
Speaker 5: There's times where it can like it can be really good,
Speaker 5: and then I think the bulk of the time, for me,
Speaker 5: it's like, oh yeah, just random chaos again.
Speaker 4: To me, it's just it's Fury Road.
Speaker 7: It is like the most Mario card has ever felt
Speaker 7: like that, and I love it so much.
Speaker 5: I feel appreciate that they make it so when you
Speaker 5: get hit by some objects you sort of just roll
Speaker 5: into the hit ye keep a lot of your momentum.
Speaker 5: That does make it feel more like Fury Road, which
Speaker 5: is like I don't know why that doesn't actually happen
Speaker 5: in Fiery Road, but it feels like something that would
Speaker 5: if it was a cart racer, would.
Speaker 1: Would it just like a shy guy that is the
Speaker 1: Doue warrior or would it be like a walla ouigi
Speaker 1: that's the warrior.
Speaker 4: Now too powerful?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 7: I think shy guy is a good call for that, yeah, or.
Speaker 4: Maybe cow oh.
Speaker 6: I also think like the driving around in the free
Speaker 6: roam fucking pointless.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a thing to do in between the races anymore,
Speaker 7: though it should be it should.
Speaker 6: Be more, It should be more. You know, Dan's gonna
Speaker 6: run defense for this fucking game. That's just not amazing.
Speaker 6: But I think I just wanted to.
Speaker 2: Sell well, I don't know, buddy, Yeah.
Speaker 6: I really Jerry still out on that, but yeah, you know,
Speaker 6: it's just uh, it's just okay. It's it's a week
Speaker 6: launch title with.
Speaker 3: It every time I play it, like launch title a
Speaker 3: salute killer rapp Like it's weak.
Speaker 6: It's super weak. Uh, Donkey Kong would have been a
Speaker 6: better launch was gonna kick ass.
Speaker 4: But they call Mario Kart World a week launch title.
Speaker 2: It's not a good pantry solon Damn, it's not as bad. Hey,
Speaker 2: look what I bought because of Because you guys are
Speaker 2: having so much fun with your fucking cameras. I got
Speaker 2: one of these.
Speaker 5: Now believe that we won this battle because you were
Speaker 5: bringing anti camera early on.
Speaker 2: I was and did like I fucking would like see
Speaker 2: you like drive past me well talking it every time.
Speaker 2: It was so buy.
Speaker 5: It's a good feature. Okay, that's okay. Are we doing
Speaker 5: with Mario Krek. We talk about the switch too broadly. Sure, Yeah,
Speaker 5: of course all of it's like hidden features are awesome.
Speaker 5: I think the grap is cool, but like, yes, the
Speaker 5: camera stuff awesome, game chat overall awesome, game share awesome,
Speaker 5: GameCube awesome, just everything sort of like below the surface
Speaker 5: of the system really is what the e shop super responsive,
Speaker 5: having a recommendation engine, which isn't like great, but it's
Speaker 5: better than nothing that they had before. It's like there's
Speaker 5: a bunch of really small things that make the switch.
Speaker 6: To really pop for me.
Speaker 5: Overall, it's you know, I wish Donkey Kong was here,
Speaker 5: but it's not that far off. And then it's like, Okay,
Speaker 5: I'm already enjoying using the system in every other way,
Speaker 5: so pretty impressed by it. Feel it feels like a
Speaker 5: system that Nintendo did spend years thinking about and getting
Speaker 5: everything right.
Speaker 2: The backwards compatibility does rule and jennef everything just runs better. Yeah, Jan,
Speaker 2: I don't want to do the transition for you because
Speaker 2: I don't be able to. But there's a game I
Speaker 2: want to talk about back with compatibility. Maybe you could
Speaker 2: help me switch to game.
Speaker 1: Greg you're done talking about the switch to as a whole.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, we have.
Speaker 7: It's crazy that that game share works in a regular
Speaker 7: switch Yeah, I didn't realize that was the case.
Speaker 6: That's it does work.
Speaker 7: So I can share of switch to exclusive game with
Speaker 7: people on like a switch light.
Speaker 5: But the game share has to be something that the
Speaker 5: game supports. It's not any game, but it's built into
Speaker 5: the games.
Speaker 7: Okay, you get Mario three D World on Mario Kart
Speaker 7: World has game share, right, I don't know. I'm not
Speaker 7: sure if they switch exclusive games will work on switch
Speaker 7: one talking about it?
Speaker 2: Wait wait, wait, wait wait, Yeah, you're saying that a
Speaker 2: switch to game share could play Mario Kart World.
Speaker 7: I'll look it up.
Speaker 1: But well, it sounds like we're painting with broad strokes here,
Speaker 1: just like Mikey and I have been painting in Splittoon three.
Speaker 2: There you go, they get back.
Speaker 5: You call it paint and they I mean Splaittoon fans.
Speaker 5: You have to call it ink or I'll still yell
Speaker 5: at you. I've discovered any times.
Speaker 6: Oh, is that because of the octopus or squid situation?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Situation? Yeah, you know, you know, yeah, they're kind of
Speaker 5: crazy about that.
Speaker 1: There's a weapon that is literally a brush.
Speaker 6: They still yell at me.
Speaker 1: Think brush, all right, we're just gonna call it squidges.
Speaker 6: I think they don't prefer that from the sound of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess no one can yell at us. Now.
Speaker 2: This has been what I've been playing mostly on my
Speaker 2: switch to Actually, yeah, Jane, im are you doing multiplayer mode?
Speaker 2: That single player stuff?
Speaker 1: I have not explored the single players tough. I've just
Speaker 1: been doing the multiplayer mode, and I can't help but
Speaker 1: feel that my enjoyment of Splittoon three multiplayer would be increased.
Speaker 1: Uh A if I was better at the game. B
Speaker 1: if people also stopped playing the game when I stopped
Speaker 1: playing the game and didn't increase their skill levels. Wallet,
Speaker 1: I'll playing it and see if we had the stupid
Speaker 1: Nintendo camera so I could.
Speaker 2: See everyone's baby on the game? Is that an three?
Speaker 1: It's not? It should be okay?
Speaker 4: I download that.
Speaker 7: I want to try the single player after hearing people
Speaker 7: talk about that.
Speaker 2: That's my pitch for you, Jan because you know where
Speaker 2: there aren't any mean you know what people are about
Speaker 2: your vegans. They don't have a life, right, you know
Speaker 2: where there's not any no life, Try hard squidgeszers in
Speaker 2: the single play what's happenings.
Speaker 7: Are you doing the rogue light?
Speaker 2: Uh so I'm not even doing that yet because I
Speaker 2: have to pay for that.
Speaker 6: Why do you always create a new character, Like I
Speaker 6: just think how amazing if just like completely unaware Nintenda
Speaker 6: just goes to market. They're just like, yeah, it's called Squidger,
Speaker 6: that's what it's called. That's what it's called.
Speaker 2: I get it. Start the whole squidges thing.
Speaker 6: I'm not to remember squidgezzers.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: It's just like and or right he did, and Hans
Speaker 1: Solo didn't start the rebellion.
Speaker 6: Mike carries with him.
Speaker 1: Yes, right man, they're like the Han Solo to my
Speaker 1: end or I'm fine.
Speaker 6: With it, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I know these games always have good solo campaigns.
Speaker 2: I enjoy them for some reason. With three, I barely
Speaker 2: touched it that much. And here, you know, just having
Speaker 2: some of these graphical improvements and whatnot, it's a good
Speaker 2: excuse to go back in there. The campaign is actually
Speaker 2: so freaking good. It's a ton of fun. It's almost
Speaker 2: something like Mario three D Platform or Escapop. All these
Speaker 2: levels kind of have something a little bit different about them,
Speaker 2: some fun gimmick. Like there's one where you can do
Speaker 2: nothing but use that curling sliding thing. It's just basically
Speaker 2: all these kind of short puzzles of how to like
Speaker 2: best use that to unlock a door and move on
Speaker 2: to the next thing. You have these boss fights that
Speaker 2: are just really creative even just like the way it
Speaker 2: works with you know, it's like it's like a whirl
Speaker 2: map and you have these each different sections and you
Speaker 2: kind have to unlock different levels by shooting the stuff
Speaker 2: and spending points. It's just really well done. It's just
Speaker 2: really fun. I think everybody both somehow knows that's Patoon
Speaker 2: games actually have great single player content, and yet it's
Speaker 2: still sort of underrated to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna play it. I'm curious to check out
Speaker 1: the roguelike mode. I gotta that's a separate DLC, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you have to pay for that, but I
Speaker 2: kind of want to try that after I beat this.
Speaker 2: I've heard very good things about that as well.
Speaker 1: If people are asking in chat, does it have backwards
Speaker 1: mouse support, I I don't think about.
Speaker 2: I don't think so it's not. Remember, this one was
Speaker 2: just like a free update, and the free update is great.
Speaker 2: The biggest thing I noticed with the free update was
Speaker 2: before whenever you were in like the town hub, that
Speaker 2: ran out a much lower frame rates than the rest
Speaker 2: of the game, and it's kind of like jarring And
Speaker 2: now that just is perfectly smooth too.
Speaker 4: You do a motion, Mike, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Turned that on because yeah, that works. Yeah, especially in
Speaker 2: this game, Like I don't like it in some other things,
Speaker 2: Like I think I turned it off in Metroit Primary
Speaker 2: Mastered maybe, or I think I had it a rock
Speaker 2: right when I was playing that the remastered version. But yeah,
Speaker 2: that that stuff feels really good in this.
Speaker 1: What what weapon do you roll with?
Speaker 7: Mike?
Speaker 2: Well, so in this mode, like a lot of times
Speaker 2: like you have to use the specific weapon right in levels. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: but it's funny because I'm kind of en norm me anyways.
Speaker 2: I do just want to use the you know, the
Speaker 2: normal super Silker squirt gun thing a lot of the time,
Speaker 2: the Tommy gun one a lot that, the the double
Speaker 2: pistols where you can like Dodger roll that's pretty that's
Speaker 2: pretty fun. Uh. I really enjoy the big fat roller
Speaker 2: that's like, yeah, yeah, school, that's I think I like
Speaker 2: that more than the paintbrush that they add. In terms
Speaker 2: of the more short range weapons. I really want to
Speaker 2: play more Platoon with with y'all, and I kind of
Speaker 2: want to try and decimate another video game website.
Speaker 7: We should do that, didn't we do that way because
Speaker 7: we did it with Next Lander when three came out.
Speaker 2: That's right, that one of the earlier streams, like dis
Speaker 2: I remember they made like somebody made art of us
Speaker 2: as like the squid icons, and I was very excited
Speaker 2: about Oh really, yeah, I think Jeff contact photo my
Speaker 2: phone is still his like squid icon from well that's
Speaker 2: raight yeah back when.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it turns out Splatoon has always been a good game,
Speaker 1: and I'm happy for the splatooners out there for getting
Speaker 1: a new injection of squid kids just blasting their squidges
Speaker 1: all over the place.
Speaker 2: Speaking about Switch one Games that.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that this had an update, but Paper
Speaker 1: Mario the thousand Year Door, I don't know.
Speaker 6: If it doesn't.
Speaker 5: I'm just using the switch to as a reason to
Speaker 5: kind of finish it off.
Speaker 6: And I'm on a roll.
Speaker 5: I got the eighth Star, which I think is the
Speaker 5: last one, and that's kind of where I left off,
Speaker 5: So I think I'm on the home stretch of getting
Speaker 5: getting through the end of that game.
Speaker 6: And you know what it was.
Speaker 5: One of the reasons I fell off is you know,
Speaker 5: each of these chapters, they are vignettes. They are self
Speaker 5: contained a kind of and every time you start a
Speaker 5: new one, you're like, what can't be as good as
Speaker 5: the last one? Kind of a bummer that I'm done
Speaker 5: with that because I wanted to keep doing that fun
Speaker 5: stuff and now I got to go do this, and
Speaker 5: then every time it's just as fun or sometimes even better.
Speaker 5: The train was fantastic, and they did a good job
Speaker 5: with the paccene of like getting you into the village
Speaker 5: or going into the train station to solve some puzzles
Speaker 5: and then getting back on the train. There was a
Speaker 5: section there late in the game where you have to
Speaker 5: sort of go you have to chase someone from zone
Speaker 5: to zone, and then I'm like, oh, luckily right away
Speaker 5: I discovered or refound because I'm sure I saw it
Speaker 5: before the fast travel things, so that made that easy. Overall,
Speaker 5: it's like, yeah, this game is as good as people
Speaker 5: said it is. I'm glad I'm seeing it through because
Speaker 5: it just continues to be fantastic through the end of
Speaker 5: the game, and it's like, oh yeah, I could still
Speaker 5: play Switch one games on here, even if they haven't
Speaker 5: been updated. It looks great on that screen. It sounds
Speaker 5: great on those speakers, which I think is another under
Speaker 5: sold part of the switch to which it sounds really good.
Speaker 7: I heard that those speakers are they come out of
Speaker 7: the console at a diagonal angle. And I got that
Speaker 7: quiz question correct and intend to switch.
Speaker 5: Welcome to her. Congratulations.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I wonder if you really could do much of
Speaker 2: a performance update thing, because the whole it was a
Speaker 2: bit of contention that this game is thirty francs per
Speaker 2: second instead of sixty. Yeah, but I don't know if
Speaker 2: you just make a patch and have it run at
Speaker 2: sixty with a big timing based RPG like I mean.
Speaker 5: There's ways to find out if people have ever done
Speaker 5: that when the game has been emulated.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know. If it like breaks things
Speaker 2: and it needs a lot more work than just that,
Speaker 2: it would be cool. It'd be awesome, but it's also fine. Yep.
Speaker 5: Also, god like another mount Rush, Mount rushmore of like
Speaker 5: good gimmicks for boss fights and RPGs quizzes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, game shows there, right, Okay.
Speaker 5: Yes, exactly, Yes, that's what I mean, Like a game
Speaker 5: show quiz and the boss is like, he's talking tough,
Speaker 5: He's gonna.
Speaker 2: Beat your ass.
Speaker 5: He is like, I am look at me, I'm so
Speaker 5: big and tough. And then the lights pop on. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and it's all glitching and.
Speaker 4: Goomba's in there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, just top to your gimmick. Give it, give me that.
Speaker 7: In every game, you know, a supremely underappreciated Kong is
Speaker 7: Swanky Kong. Yeah, Like the name is incredible. He's a
Speaker 7: game show hosting Kong with the glittery jacket. He needs
Speaker 7: to being Bonanza. I will mark the fuck out of Swanky.
Speaker 2: Really likes game shows because they have that, and then
Speaker 2: the whole like grn Tilda game show fake out at
Speaker 2: the end.
Speaker 1: Of for my fellow dropout freaks out there, I feel
Speaker 1: like there's a world where Dan Reichert is just and
Speaker 1: Sam Rerice are the same person.
Speaker 2: That's that's gonna land on a couple of folks such.
Speaker 6: An insult to Sam. Oh my god, No, that's.
Speaker 1: Like a big that's a big boot and dance favor
Speaker 1: because he's such like a showman.
Speaker 6: I guess it's depending on how you look at you
Speaker 6: would I like dropout, what's the deal with it?
Speaker 4: I don't know how people watch.
Speaker 1: It it streaming service subscription also, oh only subscription. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they have like a couple of apps on YouTube.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, be paying subscriptions.
Speaker 1: Of course, I mean we none of us can, right, So.
Speaker 4: Why I never played Moms can't do that. You just
Speaker 4: buy a thing and then you have it.
Speaker 1: Like none of us are paying for subscriptions, right, like
Speaker 1: we're we're all good, right, Okay.
Speaker 6: That's that's a crazy thing to do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't do that. Cool cool, cool cool cool? All right.
Speaker 1: Moving down the list.
Speaker 4: Giant bum dot Com, slash Joint subscribe.
Speaker 1: It's the only streaming service out there.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Going from that three peet of uh switch two games
Speaker 1: to another trilogy? Uh, gex trilogy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I started playing gext trilogy. I got the code
Speaker 5: on Friday. It's it's out now, right, did h everyone?
Speaker 2: Ges Dan? I was good.
Speaker 5: I have a code for you. If you need it,
Speaker 5: let me.
Speaker 4: I would need I need it.
Speaker 7: I needed.
Speaker 4: On Switch.
Speaker 2: It's on Steam.
Speaker 6: I've a Steam Steam I want That's That's what I
Speaker 6: was asking.
Speaker 5: Either way, Okay, so I've been playing it. I started
Speaker 5: with gext one because I never played much gas. I
Speaker 5: must have rented it I like, generally remember the vibe
Speaker 5: and the jokes, uh, And.
Speaker 2: I guess you can call them jokes.
Speaker 5: And I like the whole gimmick of like collecting TV
Speaker 5: remotes and unlocking levels, but I don't. I just don't
Speaker 5: remember actually playing it all that much. And GEX is
Speaker 5: you know, it's okay?
Speaker 2: Maybe no.
Speaker 1: So that's what I was gonna ask, because my mom
Speaker 1: didn't let me buy GEX as a kid because she
Speaker 1: thought it was too raunchy.
Speaker 5: That's just because Dana Gould talks in a voice like
Speaker 5: you think the jokes are gonna be way raunchier than
Speaker 5: they are. He delivers everything like he's about to tell
Speaker 5: you like a dirty joke.
Speaker 4: Is there a Lewsky joke in it?
Speaker 2: Yeah? They hurry yet, but I'm sure it is the
Speaker 2: second one or the third one where there's like they
Speaker 2: get some model to be like, yeah, his girlfriend, it's right,
Speaker 2: and the conversation is always just like GEX sexually harassing
Speaker 2: her and her going, oh GEX.
Speaker 5: I it's I played a little bit of the second one,
Speaker 5: which is the first three D one, and that one
Speaker 5: that one's like has a little bit more going on.
Speaker 6: But these these were never great games.
Speaker 5: I and I almost don't know if I fully understand
Speaker 5: where the gets uh like meme comes from. I guess
Speaker 5: it must have been one that everyone rented or everyone played.
Speaker 5: So it's a cultural touchdown that people can go back.
Speaker 4: It's just such a thing.
Speaker 7: It's just an iguana with sunglasses and a platformer. It
Speaker 7: is just like early three D early PlayStations. I never
Speaker 7: even really played them much, and that's why I really want.
Speaker 7: I want to get them my switch to And somehow
Speaker 7: like that was during my era of like I'm an
Speaker 7: adult now I can't play a platform or I played
Speaker 7: metal your solid and think about philosophy, So like I
Speaker 7: need to go back now that I'm younger and stupider
Speaker 7: than I was back then.
Speaker 2: Somehow it sounds like you idiots didn't have a three
Speaker 2: D oh because I know it's weird. No, I was
Speaker 2: playing gags one at that time. It really was just
Speaker 2: like I.
Speaker 6: Didn't I didn't know that, Mike, Yeah, it's embarrassing. I know,
Speaker 6: I don't think it's embarrassing. How did how did that
Speaker 6: come to be? I just got it after that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, my mom more to Chili.
Speaker 6: I want to condo. No, it's not I don't think
Speaker 6: you want a contest. I think you won the socioeconomic lottery.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Three three D is not like CD I three D.
Speaker 2: It's a good game. One was pretty fun. It was
Speaker 2: very it looked very pretty back then for a two
Speaker 2: D game.
Speaker 5: My question is we just make him play three DEO games?
Speaker 5: No Iris pretty good?
Speaker 1: Well three D O the publisher. I really like war
Speaker 1: Jets for the PS two.
Speaker 6: Armyman games, Portal Runner maybe yeah, there you go. So Mike,
Speaker 6: did you did you and your brothers like ask for it?
Speaker 6: Or was it was your dad just like, hey, it's Thursday.
Speaker 2: You got no, I'm sure like we were magazines was
Speaker 2: talking about it or something and we're like, dad, Dad,
Speaker 2: we need a three D O or will die? You
Speaker 2: know that?
Speaker 6: Brady kids, dude, just like well, Ken have dead children that'll.
Speaker 2: Look poorly for my practice.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Played a lot of Mad Dog McCree on there man
Speaker 2: that see like on game. Oh and the weird Jurassic
Speaker 2: Park game for that, which was like a lot of
Speaker 2: live action vignettes not with the original actors. And then
Speaker 2: weird video games based off of Artcade classics like Space Invaders. Oh,
Speaker 2: it was weird. I just remember.
Speaker 6: I just remember that. My only interaction with three DO
Speaker 6: was like going to you know, an electronicstre and seeing
Speaker 6: it sort of encased in plastic and add a demo Kiosk,
Speaker 6: and even then it was just like I don't want this,
Speaker 6: you know.
Speaker 2: I did find I found my three D O. I
Speaker 2: gotta see if I can like get that thing going still,
Speaker 2: because come on, a three D O stream would be
Speaker 2: pretty cool. Yeah, that would be neat, Yeah, I would.
Speaker 5: I would like that a lot, getting like Slayer, that
Speaker 5: first person Dungeons and Dragons games actually legit good. There's
Speaker 5: some good games on three D road Raster.
Speaker 2: Three D is the first Need for Speed, the first
Speaker 2: game in the Need for three franchise, the Need for Speed,
Speaker 2: and it originally came out in the three D Oh.
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe we do need to do three D O shoa.
Speaker 2: Uh do you have a three D O now? Yeah?
Speaker 4: I might?
Speaker 5: Okay, well you have a mister right, and I think
Speaker 5: that has a three D O.
Speaker 4: We have a three D like ten.
Speaker 2: I thought the same in list you're doing on original hardwak.
Speaker 5: Well, listen, that's still a rule for black Club. I
Speaker 5: do have a game in mind for him eventually, eventually,
Speaker 5: what is it? He's gone he's gonna maybe go get
Speaker 5: his three d Oh?
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 6: Quick?
Speaker 2: Quick?
Speaker 1: Isn't it for audio listeners?
Speaker 2: Hell?
Speaker 6: He'll here.
Speaker 5: I don't, I don't know, but it's it's it's okay,
Speaker 5: it's that cyber Dillo game.
Speaker 2: Is going there? It is? Is this a three d Oh? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I love the way he looks.
Speaker 6: Is this I don't know. Doesn't it say three d
Speaker 6: Oh on it?
Speaker 7: Panasonic Real three d Oh Interactive Multiplayer? Yeah, it's a
Speaker 7: three d oh?
Speaker 2: Is that so?
Speaker 6: Did Panasonic also have like other items that had building.
Speaker 2: The whole point of the three d Oh was that
Speaker 2: they licensed it so anybody can make a three d Oh.
Speaker 5: It was like a reference card, like you know, ind
Speaker 5: he makes the GPU, but then ev g A really
Speaker 5: made it that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, huh, but that's the three d There was maybe
Speaker 2: like one other one at.
Speaker 5: Somewise in Japan. Yeah, there was another company, discs CDs. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it was a c stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Panasonic also made another console, the GameCube, made the CUE.
Speaker 4: They have one of those the Nintendo Museum.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I love that thing. I always wanted it so bad.
Speaker 6: It looks so then you have that, but you've never
Speaker 6: like used it.
Speaker 7: Obviously power cable is probably taped up when I got it.
Speaker 4: I don't know if there's a rattle.
Speaker 6: So you have it just for like posterity.
Speaker 4: Or I like displaying consoles and stuff.
Speaker 1: It's a good console. It's it's heavy.
Speaker 7: It looks like a.
Speaker 6: Train station kill.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you might need a helping hand to lift that
Speaker 1: bad boy, just like you can use a helping hand
Speaker 1: to lift up your fellow climber in Peak.
Speaker 6: Oh god, was awesome.
Speaker 1: We played this yesterday on the website. If you miss
Speaker 1: the stream, I highly suggest you go check it out.
Speaker 1: Peak dropped out of nowhere. It seems like, yeah.
Speaker 7: I thought they might have done a couple He'ser trailers
Speaker 7: like earlier this week, but I think it was as
Speaker 7: close to a shadow drop as you get. Really. I
Speaker 7: just got an email about it, and I just saw
Speaker 7: an image of it and it said it's a physics
Speaker 7: based multiplayer climbing game, and it was like that all
Speaker 7: sounds fun. Let's stream it right now, And we did.
Speaker 7: We played four place start.
Speaker 5: The prox audio, which is like, oh, okay, had we
Speaker 5: known that, we definitely would have played this game.
Speaker 2: So I'm glad we discovered.
Speaker 4: That yelling across canyons.
Speaker 7: You know, there's times where it's like I would go
Speaker 7: up like the right side of this mountain and I'd
Speaker 7: be like, oh shit, I lost those guys. And I
Speaker 7: turned out to see the tiniest little guys way far away,
Speaker 7: and I'll like, hey, guys.
Speaker 2: Look up here.
Speaker 7: I'm here and let's mate it. Though it's just the
Speaker 7: prox thing is incredible. It does the thing that like
Speaker 7: Repo does where the mouth is moving as as you're talking,
Speaker 7: and they're very just it looks like they have oranges
Speaker 7: for heads. Just really goofy human fall flat kind of
Speaker 7: gumby characters. You know, great look to it. Great mechanic
Speaker 7: of like if I climb up a thing first, like
Speaker 7: Jan can crouch down and Grub can jump on his
Speaker 7: head and Jan can like spraying him up up to
Speaker 7: help him get up there. And then before a stamina
Speaker 7: runs out, I can hold the lt to like help
Speaker 7: pull it out with my hand.
Speaker 5: And all that stuff is super necessary because like one
Speaker 5: of us might have a backpack and that severely hampers
Speaker 5: the amount of stamina you have because you have extra
Speaker 5: weight on you. So it's like I was carrying the
Speaker 5: backpack and so I needed someone to help me up
Speaker 5: at every sort of term because I didn't have I
Speaker 5: had like just enough stamina to get there, but not
Speaker 5: get up over the ledge, and so I'd be like
Speaker 5: Jan or Dan here.
Speaker 6: Grab me and pull me up.
Speaker 5: It all worked like surprisingly well, Like I thought that
Speaker 5: the hand grabbing mechanic was gonna be a little bit
Speaker 5: yanky based on like early experiments with it, and then
Speaker 5: we did. It's like, oh no, it has a lot
Speaker 5: of period to it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, a lot of generosity.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of generosity exactly. And then sort of
Speaker 5: figuring out how to navigate the spaces became the game,
Speaker 5: and we didn't quite solve that reddle well.
Speaker 1: I mean we successfully eventually climbed the first mountain. I
Speaker 1: hoasted some s'mores, only to turn around and now there's
Speaker 1: a gigantic vertical forest in front of us.
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, we thought we beat it because it says
Speaker 7: like every twenty four hours it's like a new climb basically,
Speaker 7: which is.
Speaker 5: They procedure generate a new mountain every twenty four hours
Speaker 5: for everybody.
Speaker 6: So I think I love that idea.
Speaker 7: By the way, Yeah, and I assumed, you know, it's
Speaker 7: five dollar game it's, you know, generating a new mountain
Speaker 7: every day. That's probably what the game is. And we
Speaker 7: get up there and I got like a fairy lantern
Speaker 7: and then like a new viney, like a whole new
Speaker 7: biome basically opens up for us to climb. It's like,
Speaker 7: oh shit, there's more to this than I thought. So
Speaker 7: that looked way harder that next area.
Speaker 6: I was watching people stream at last night and no,
Speaker 6: and everyone seemed to be stuck on thorny vine island.
Speaker 5: Like that's going to require I think, real teamwork and
Speaker 5: really thinking together about every move.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I really enjoyed it. I like, out of
Speaker 1: all of the prox chat games.
Speaker 2: With funky looking dudes, I think this is my favorite
Speaker 2: design of funky looking dudes.
Speaker 1: It reminds me of God. It's not like I don't
Speaker 1: know why. It reminds me of lollipops or like old
Speaker 1: school cartoons like Garbage.
Speaker 5: Pail Kids, Crazy Little Little Yeah, I see it. Repo
Speaker 5: is still my favorite in terms of just like visual
Speaker 5: comedy of the characters, but this one's right there.
Speaker 7: I will say that we watched some of those SGF
Speaker 7: trailers that we didn't see originally, and the Big Walk
Speaker 7: trailer looks incredible.
Speaker 5: Big Walk is the one we should like commit to
Speaker 5: couple streams of because I mean, I think it looks fantastic.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of puzzles in there. Yeah, Big Walk week,
Speaker 2: a Big Block week, Yeah I can week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there we go, there we go, all right.
Speaker 5: Big Walk, a short hike. Yeah, we can do a.
Speaker 2: Bunch of games.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I knew it on a treadmill death Stranding, you know,
Speaker 1: that's one. That's an easy one.
Speaker 7: Which, by the way, that's why I haven't really played
Speaker 7: much this week is because I'm really I'm pasted where
Speaker 7: I was in Japan, and I think I'm like near
Speaker 7: the back part of this game.
Speaker 2: But I'm tired of your excuses.
Speaker 7: Actually, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Think next week I can talk.
Speaker 2: Well, it comes out the twenty.
Speaker 7: Fifth, Yeah, yeah you should, you should. I think I
Speaker 7: can talk about it next week. So I got a
Speaker 7: lot to say about that game. Probably know you've been
Speaker 7: playing too, right.
Speaker 1: I have also embarked on this journey. Okay, I will
Speaker 1: hold my tongue until next week when I can speak
Speaker 1: about it. Yes, I don't believe any of us got
Speaker 1: the chance to check out FBC Firebreak, but we will
Speaker 1: beat that out on Friday for upf I believe that's right.
Speaker 1: That about does it.
Speaker 2: For video game talk, unless anyone else has anything else.
Speaker 5: Just my kid's been playing a lot more Minecraft. I
Speaker 5: guess I could have brought this up during the switch
Speaker 5: to thing. They have moved from Survival over into Creative,
Speaker 5: so they could just spawn everything. And there's these egg
Speaker 5: things where you can like spawn creatures, and so they've
Speaker 5: spawned like ten thousand cats and seventy thousand creepers, and
Speaker 5: it was causing the switch to like run it two
Speaker 5: frames a second if that, and she's like, this is hey,
Speaker 5: I can't play this. And I tried to explain ren
Speaker 5: during and frame rates to her and she said, shut
Speaker 5: the fuck up, Dad, just make it better. And so
Speaker 5: I got it running on the switch to and handed
Speaker 5: to her and the game is running just fine on that,
Speaker 5: so like it's like I said, like significant like processing improvement.
Speaker 5: But now she needs my switch to to play her
Speaker 5: stupid Minecraft thing. So I've already sort of lost that,
Speaker 5: and that's oh that's been a problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ah, Nintendo, please make a Xeno Blade Chronicles three
Speaker 1: patch or upgrade. I really I know already beat it.
Speaker 1: I just want to play it again. I just want
Speaker 1: to play the fucking flute with my friends that.
Speaker 5: Are gonna die to that's a newer game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wondered. There's gonna be like a day where
Speaker 2: it's like all flour zeno plates. I've gotten improvement patches
Speaker 2: or switch to versions or something. I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: a big one. I'm shocked X doesn't. That was such
Speaker 2: a late switch one game.
Speaker 1: All right, gang, That about does it for video games.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a quick brick break and we will
Speaker 1: be back with the news right after this. This is Je.
Speaker 7: Well wait, we got him coming in with the news,
Speaker 7: but I'm gonna come in with the weather and I'm
Speaker 7: predicting a very severe fuddy duddy storm coming in in
Speaker 7: the next week or so based on our conversation and
Speaker 7: the break.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. I didn't even say anything. And then
Speaker 2: you too provoked me. I did a bit.
Speaker 7: I want to ask for next week.
Speaker 5: Some cool things were said and you were silent, and
Speaker 5: we knew what that meant, all right, and then you.
Speaker 4: Went into full funny uddy mode.
Speaker 2: He wants this, He was kept playing his game. Wasn't
Speaker 2: the visive enough? He doesn't want all of us to
Speaker 2: like it. He wants me to hate it. I'm literally
Speaker 2: falling into his trap. I'm helping you.
Speaker 4: You have played it, you haven't played it.
Speaker 5: That the story and I didn't include uh, I didn't
Speaker 5: include that. Wood Kid was like, yeah, he like tried
Speaker 5: to make the game shittier so that people wouldn't like
Speaker 5: it as much.
Speaker 6: He's like he came to me.
Speaker 5: He's like people at the test are just too good,
Speaker 5: which is my feeling.
Speaker 2: I want. I would want to know mister Dan Riker
Speaker 2: down for anything, always good for a goof. When I
Speaker 2: found out he was interviewing wood Kid, I was begging
Speaker 2: him to tell him that I, Mike Manatty liked his
Speaker 2: song from that Assassin's Creed Revelations trailer. But he couldn't
Speaker 2: do it because Cogi much said to know, and.
Speaker 5: Seriously, I'm an interviewer here. I'm yeah, a journalist, a journalist. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you can check that interview in the SGF blog out now.
Speaker 6: All right, news this just happened.
Speaker 5: Microsoft and AMD have entered a new multi year partnership
Speaker 5: for first party Xbox hardware with full support for your
Speaker 5: existing console games in your living room and in your hands.
Speaker 5: So basically, AMD, who has been providing chips for Xboxes
Speaker 5: for a while now.
Speaker 2: Will continue to do so.
Speaker 5: This is maybe only interesting because there was rumors and
Speaker 5: leaks from the FTC documents when they were when they
Speaker 5: f toc wassuing Microsoft to try to stop the acquisition
Speaker 5: of Activision. There was some word in there that Microsoft
Speaker 5: was looking at a bunch of different new partners, including
Speaker 5: maybe like Nvidia and some others that provide ARM chips
Speaker 5: and be like, oh, the new Xbox could.
Speaker 2: Run on ARM.
Speaker 6: Well, that's not gonna be the case.
Speaker 5: It's going to continue to be the kinds of computer
Speaker 5: chips that are in your PC made by AMD, so
Speaker 5: they'll have full backward compatibility. And I guess maybe the
Speaker 5: other side of this is they are going to keep
Speaker 5: making Xboxes at least based on this news. That's also
Speaker 5: doesn't surprise me any Is anyone like shocked that this
Speaker 5: is a company that's going to stay in the hardware game.
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm not shocked, but I guess I do
Speaker 2: just wonder what this looks like, because you know, the
Speaker 2: Xbox series X and S was a very clear successor
Speaker 2: to the Xbox One, like right, very similar in a
Speaker 2: lot of ways it's more powerful, and that didn't really
Speaker 2: work out for them. But what else can you do here?
Speaker 2: How do they differ? Especially when you know, going into
Speaker 2: it there's basically no promise of exclusives anymore, maybe a
Speaker 2: couple maybe timed exclusives game passes being de emphasized. So
Speaker 2: what's the selling point here now?
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, we were hearing a selling point could potentially
Speaker 5: be like, hey, we're gonna let you install Steam and
Speaker 5: Epic Game Store on your Xbox that this I guess
Speaker 5: this is not impossible, right, because again, it's gonna be
Speaker 5: PC hardware in there, and maybe the Xbox can have
Speaker 5: a translation layer. I suppose that wouldn't be too difficult
Speaker 5: to make those stores just run on there, if that's
Speaker 5: what Xbox still wants to do. But I don't know,
Speaker 5: this sounds a little bit different than that. This does
Speaker 5: just sound like they're going to make another one of
Speaker 5: these consoles, as you say, Mike, that have not really
Speaker 5: been able to find their place without having the obvious
Speaker 5: exclusives exclusives to point too. But they also did say
Speaker 5: Sarah Bond a year plus ago that hey, they are
Speaker 5: working on the next Xbox and it's going to be
Speaker 5: the biggest graphical leap. Ever, I can't remember her exact words.
Speaker 5: I mean, how do you do that without making a
Speaker 5: very expensive Xbox when using the familiar AMD hardware.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I guess that could have just been talk.
Speaker 2: I think she was just saying things, and I'm not
Speaker 2: saying things. Call her alive, but I just don't understand
Speaker 2: how that could possibly be true.
Speaker 5: Yep, that's I think that's the honestly, the simplest answer
Speaker 5: here is it was just words.
Speaker 2: It didn't really mean all that much.
Speaker 5: As far as like integrating the hardware and the software
Speaker 5: and other stores that probably will continue to happen on
Speaker 5: the PC side of things, the Xbox OS stuff that's
Speaker 5: happening with the handeld, the Asus rog ally x Xbox.
Speaker 5: Thing that seems to be one of the focuses for
Speaker 5: Microsoft is, hey, let's make all of our stuff work
Speaker 5: on these handhelds and include backward compatibility from the PC
Speaker 5: from the Xbox to the PC, so the PC can
Speaker 5: now play all these Xbox one games that never got ports.
Speaker 5: And that's an interesting focus, but I think it also
Speaker 5: just means, oh, the console is even less necessary than
Speaker 5: ever before, and Microsoft's okay with that, but I guess
Speaker 5: they're going to keep making them. A Nintendo director is
Speaker 5: coming this week, focusing on Donkey Kong Bonanza. It's tomorrow morning,
Speaker 5: nine am Eastern time, six am Pacific. I think they
Speaker 5: said like around fifteen minutes or something like that. I'm
Speaker 5: ready to see a lot more of this game. I'm
Speaker 5: ready for the Donkey Kong hype to overtake me. What
Speaker 5: are you guys expecting to see from this and should
Speaker 5: we expect any other direct this summer.
Speaker 7: I want to see more of the Like when I
Speaker 7: played it, I thought it was so cool that you
Speaker 7: can basically just destroy the entire area, like you know,
Speaker 7: there was I think there was like a hub, but
Speaker 7: then we went into an island, and I want to
Speaker 7: see more of those islands. You know, it seems like
Speaker 7: it was like a bomb battlefield type thing. I want
Speaker 7: to see more of those, and I want to see
Speaker 7: how the destructibility can play into things other than just
Speaker 7: like I can dig down, I can dig through. I
Speaker 7: want to see like whole underground cave cities that you
Speaker 7: can't that aren't evident from the beginning, things like that.
Speaker 5: Yep, I like I wanted to show like all that
Speaker 5: goofing off and sandbox play will lead to larger discoveries.
Speaker 2: I'm with you right there on that. Yeah, I also
Speaker 2: want to see some platforming, right Like, I know, like
Speaker 2: digging around is the important part here, but I hope
Speaker 2: that you can't circumvent kind of all of the platforming
Speaker 2: through that. I hope there's still are maybe sections where
Speaker 2: there's a lot of just floating geometry so you can't
Speaker 2: really dig up to it or dig down to us.
Speaker 2: You still have to do tricky jumps and things like that.
Speaker 2: But there's there's also a part of me that's like,
Speaker 2: I don't know if I want to see more of
Speaker 2: this game. It's coming out soon anyways, I just want
Speaker 2: to be surprised now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you, Mike, Like,
Speaker 1: after seeing what Dan and I saw in New York,
Speaker 1: I don't know what else I need to be shown
Speaker 1: other than I guess the general public seeing that this
Speaker 1: is a game and.
Speaker 6: It's a month away.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, exactly a month away. Yeah. I'm excited, though,
Speaker 7: I do want to see more of it, just because
Speaker 7: that is the next one on the horizon for sure.
Speaker 7: It's like first party, Big Switch to releases.
Speaker 6: Well, I want to play something on my switch.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm really hoping for is that like, yeah,
Speaker 2: Donkey Kong but Nanza coming soon. But today on NSO
Speaker 2: Donkey Kong sixty four. They made such a big deal
Speaker 2: about getting those Donkey Kong Land games on the Game
Speaker 2: Boy NSO before Donkey Kong Country Returns came out, which
Speaker 2: was this year. By the way, that's wild. Come on, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's crazy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it sucks that it's been long enough now to
Speaker 7: where I also want to do a reappraisal of DK
Speaker 7: sixty four again.
Speaker 4: I know I did this on this website. Yes, long enough.
Speaker 7: My takeaway was I don't want to play this so
Speaker 7: much that I want to send this to in Arctica.
Speaker 7: But there's like fan patches and stuff now where you
Speaker 7: can like switch between the monkeys on a flying sign.
Speaker 7: I think there's something in that game that we need
Speaker 7: to unlock as gamers.
Speaker 2: I think I never really played that much of it.
Speaker 2: I want to play through it when it comes on ns.
Speaker 7: You want one hundred percent? Do you want to promise
Speaker 7: that you're gonna hundred percent? On Mega Man Monday Evening Gaming,
Speaker 7: I will roll credits. How many okay, So if we
Speaker 7: get five thousand people come to giant bomb dot com
Speaker 7: slash join in the next month, will you one hundred
Speaker 7: and one percent Donkey Kong sixty thousand new people?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Absolute, we're gonna find five.
Speaker 6: We'll make it realistic.
Speaker 4: What do you mean, tell you're okay?
Speaker 6: What everybody?
Speaker 2: No, you said five?
Speaker 4: It's all right, everyone, rally the friends.
Speaker 2: He'll do it. We have an internal goal I could
Speaker 2: say if we if we some reason met that by
Speaker 2: the end of July, the sure.
Speaker 7: Oh really, okay, folks, we have an internal goal that
Speaker 7: could be done. I want to see him play all
Speaker 7: of these six were very bad.
Speaker 5: Tell your friends, Oh yeah, we gotta ask our friend
Speaker 5: and Donkey Kong sixty four enjoy your h bomber guy.
Speaker 2: Yes am, I am? I crazy for like, I don't know,
Speaker 2: I'm like not that concerned. I'll play Donkey Kong sixty
Speaker 2: four a lot, but one And what's the one?
Speaker 7: It's you have to get all these golden bananas. I
Speaker 7: think it's just like it's a major COLLECTI on thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's like that'll be annoying. There's a lot
Speaker 2: of I have to play actual Donkey Kong at some
Speaker 2: point the Ark game, right.
Speaker 4: I think briefly that's there. Yeah, that's a good time.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Does he have to be in a costume the whole time?
Speaker 2: No, No, no.
Speaker 4: I think he just needs to play it.
Speaker 2: What's what's Lanky Kong's deal?
Speaker 7: They don't talk about Lanky Kong. He doesn't come to
Speaker 7: the family reunions anymore.
Speaker 5: Everyone averts their gaze when he shows up.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he took some turns. He spent a little too
Speaker 7: much time on on message board.
Speaker 2: January sixth, Yeah, yeah, there was. He was.
Speaker 5: He was back at Beaver Bother if you know what
Speaker 5: I mean, Uh, that's DK sixty four level.
Speaker 2: That's Infamus.
Speaker 5: Just I want to see you do one hundred one
Speaker 5: percent so that I could see you experience ever bother
Speaker 5: that is, uh, that could be something very special. I
Speaker 5: ever been a bothered before?
Speaker 2: No, there it is.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Uh us away Actually, So wait, do we
Speaker 5: think we're gonna get another direct this summer?
Speaker 6: I think we might.
Speaker 2: Metroid may Yeah, we'll get them exactly Backler, We'll get
Speaker 2: a Metroid direct also at some point giving us the
Speaker 2: release date hopefully Metroid Prime two and three in some way.
Speaker 5: All right, Well, I hope that's right, because listen, we
Speaker 5: don't need a big well I suppose to get like
Speaker 5: a partner direct right that could pop off pop up
Speaker 5: at any more.
Speaker 2: I don't know. There's like some people like, well, we
Speaker 2: got to announce some more games for this year, and.
Speaker 5: I'm like, do that. We don't gotta. We definitely don't
Speaker 5: have to. I think there's a possibility they could announce.
Speaker 2: One more, but they did do.
Speaker 5: Uh well, there was an update recently to something that
Speaker 5: they announced that they talked about.
Speaker 2: Maybe that kind of I thought that they just announced
Speaker 2: the game in a stweet, not.
Speaker 5: To in a Nintendo Today app update. Yeah, so yeah,
Speaker 5: they definitely don't need more games.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe a Nindi's showcase again.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, those happened like twice a year. I don't
Speaker 5: know if we're due for it or not.
Speaker 2: It's up. Then.
Speaker 7: Can you just come to my house some weekend and
Speaker 7: before the end of July and can we just do
Speaker 7: a Jerry Lewis telethon just to raise subscribers. Some has
Speaker 7: to do this.
Speaker 5: I would that you want to, like, I'll fly over also,
Speaker 5: I'll go do it.
Speaker 4: By the end of July.
Speaker 6: This is due and the number too, because it's.
Speaker 2: A second when summer summer game fess keep doing the
Speaker 2: summer games done quick. It's at the end of July.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so like we can just go there and like
Speaker 5: that week we could make it the home like the early.
Speaker 2: July this year, it's like July six earlier.
Speaker 5: Oh that's right, it's right after I get back from.
Speaker 2: My way to figure out if we want to do that,
Speaker 2: because I kind of do.
Speaker 5: Uh, okay, okay, well listen, let's talk about it. Let's
Speaker 5: talk about it all right. Uh they tend to switch
Speaker 5: two sets all time record for hardware in the United States,
Speaker 5: beating PS four. It's guys, it seems like it's a
Speaker 5: set this recordobally as well definitely also set a record
Speaker 5: in Japan. As people have pointed out, this is a
Speaker 5: record of like manufacturing, of being able to get enough
Speaker 5: switch ts out into the channel to have enough of
Speaker 5: these to sell on day one through day four where
Speaker 5: they where it's set this record. But yeah, I mean
Speaker 5: the demand clearly is there for now. I do wonder
Speaker 5: like what the long term demand for a switch too
Speaker 5: is as families like look around but be like, well
Speaker 5: we have a switch, do we need a switch to.
Speaker 5: But you know, in this moment, it seems like the
Speaker 5: combination of Mario Kart and just excitement for this thing.
Speaker 2: Is helping plenty.
Speaker 5: They wanted to sell fifteen million switch ts and year
Speaker 5: one seems like they're going to easily do that, maybe
Speaker 5: even get to twenty million, which would make it a
Speaker 5: better selling console than several big consoles we like talk
Speaker 5: about frequently.
Speaker 2: What I went to Best Buy yesterday to get this camera.
Speaker 2: The first thing I saw was this giant standee Is said,
Speaker 2: we do not have any more switch ts. Yep.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but my best Spice set's sold out as well,
Speaker 5: so there are occasional drops at like targets stuff like that.
Speaker 5: So people are still getting more but switched to successful
Speaker 5: so far. Sony kind of started talking about the PlayStation
Speaker 5: six a little bit. Yeah, I means mostly to say
Speaker 5: that they are not going to do cloud gaming instead
Speaker 5: of a PlayStation six.
Speaker 6: It was more like, hey, chill, chill, we'll get there.
Speaker 2: Oh that's there's always some journalists, something like mainstream journalists
Speaker 2: or something that asks about this because they think that's
Speaker 2: more of a thing than it is.
Speaker 5: This was an investor meeting, so but same exact kind
Speaker 5: of person.
Speaker 2: It's always one of them. It's like, why just all
Speaker 2: on the cloud AI metaverse.
Speaker 5: And the guy, the guy had to be like it
Speaker 5: costs more to host a game in the cloud per
Speaker 5: minute that a person plays, like don't you understand that?
Speaker 5: And they're just like looking at him blinking yeah.
Speaker 2: Because it does. Like it does feel like, how are
Speaker 2: we already talking about this and yet it's gonna be
Speaker 2: five years since this PlayStation five released.
Speaker 5: This far, we are far closer to the launch of
Speaker 5: PS six than we already the launch of the PS.
Speaker 2: Five far sure, that makes sense. I don't like that.
Speaker 5: Twenty twenty eight was the year that was in again
Speaker 5: another FTC leak doc for PlayStation specifically, that feels like
Speaker 5: at the earliest to me, like late twenty twenty eight,
Speaker 5: at the earliest I could easily see with PS five
Speaker 5: pro barely even being tapped them justifying pushing this entire
Speaker 5: generation into twenty thirty even.
Speaker 1: Okay, I got a sad question to ask, do you
Speaker 1: think more people have played Fortnite than God of War
Speaker 1: on the PS five?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, oh yeah, without a doubt. Oh okay, its good, No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I love Fortnite. Your boy got a dub last week
Speaker 1: and it was great.
Speaker 6: Why is that a sad question?
Speaker 1: Because Fortnite isn't a new game, right, and like God
Speaker 1: of War is like a PlayStation joint. Yeah, so I'm like,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, great, I can play Fortnite anywhere though, sure.
Speaker 6: I mean it's like people who buy new computers just
Speaker 6: to go on Facebook, remember, like, yeah, of course, right,
Speaker 6: And that's a little sad. Yeah, from that perspective, is
Speaker 6: a little sad, like you.
Speaker 1: Don't need a new MacBook Pro to handle Google slide.
Speaker 2: Hey, you know what else that's pretty great on switch to?
Speaker 2: So that was Fortnite. They're looking pretty nice. They know that.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of ads for Fortnite on switch To
Speaker 5: specifically that have been the same.
Speaker 6: I mean, think about it. It should be uh, it
Speaker 6: does not run well on Switch one. And that's noticeable
Speaker 6: even to like the you know, the the people who
Speaker 6: are at least discerning in that category. They can even tell.
Speaker 6: So it's a thing that.
Speaker 2: Overwatch big improvements and switch that game early.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll try it out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have Overwatch for Switch.
Speaker 6: I bet it runs.
Speaker 2: Better Apex is on Switch right, I don't know if
Speaker 2: it's still supported on They tried that and no one played.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no one spent any money on that. I remember
Speaker 5: hearing that, all right. Uh yeah, So they're talking about
Speaker 5: basically just saying, oh, yeah, we're going to make another PlayStation.
Speaker 2: And it's going to be with a m D.
Speaker 5: It's going to be exactly what people have been always
Speaker 5: expecting from a PlayStation. So I don't take that to heart.
Speaker 5: They also said they will continue to do cloud game
Speaker 5: and stuff, but they are convinced that having local you know,
Speaker 5: execution of the games is how they put it, is
Speaker 5: still the future.
Speaker 2: Game's my question. That Heretic game from Naughty Dog, is
Speaker 2: that a PlayStation five or a PlayStation six game. I
Speaker 2: mean it's.
Speaker 6: Probably intergalactic the Heretic Prophecy.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, it.
Speaker 2: Sounds like a Doom clone from the nineties.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know, it sounds like like the Heretic
Speaker 5: Prophecy sounds like a weird drug in a like a Diosex.
Speaker 2: Game or something like that.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, that one's probably like the last year of
Speaker 5: the PlayStation five.
Speaker 1: I think, hey, you know, what's a good game. I
Speaker 1: should have talked about this during games Cyberpunk is pretty good.
Speaker 1: You played that on the switch too is running.
Speaker 5: Well, it's not bad, Fuddy duddy.
Speaker 2: I will try it one more time at some point
Speaker 2: in my life.
Speaker 6: When was the last time you tried that?
Speaker 5: Liberty Launch did never play Phantom Liberty. He tried the
Speaker 5: Bass game.
Speaker 2: I tried because the improvements were there, because there's a
Speaker 2: bunch of improvements there, very different games, and it just
Speaker 2: might not be from Mikey's all right. I think the
Speaker 2: thing I keep pointing to is you walk into like
Speaker 2: a second shop tattoo parlor and there's a neon light
Speaker 2: that's like that says funk till.
Speaker 1: You die, Jimmy, jim I lived my life till I
Speaker 1: buy that every day.
Speaker 6: It's uh so, it's too like R rated for you.
Speaker 2: It's rated, it sounds like, but try hard to try
Speaker 2: hardy edged lordy a little bit. Yeah.
Speaker 5: It's like it's like if someone made a theme park
Speaker 5: and there people exclusively they didn't like Mike Manadi, and
Speaker 5: we're trying to make something to upset up right. It's like,
Speaker 5: e the exact opposite of walking into Disneyland. Everything's there
Speaker 5: to make me feel bad about myself and the world.
Speaker 5: I was always like a cyberpug three out of five guy,
Speaker 5: because I just thought the missions were kind of boring.
Speaker 5: But I don't know, people have played it in other
Speaker 5: ways and it looked interesting and that maybe I like
Speaker 5: need a new character build or something like that, I'd
Speaker 5: be willing to try it again.
Speaker 2: I sure to forgive that game quickly. That everyone was
Speaker 2: so mad about Cyberpugget how they when they release it
Speaker 2: like that? And then it's like, oh, forgiven, Yeah, they
Speaker 2: wanted to like good it could it could have made better.
Speaker 6: It's I think it's okay to change your opinion over time.
Speaker 6: No can change your opinions against that. But like, you know,
Speaker 6: except if it's about Red des.
Speaker 2: We were all like, how dare they do this? And
Speaker 2: and it's like.
Speaker 5: I think you know what happened, Mike is I think
Speaker 5: everyone that felt they got effectively punished, right, they got
Speaker 5: yeah hard enough. Everyone's like you learned your lesson, now
Speaker 5: are you going to come back to do better? And
Speaker 5: like we're going to do better, and like they got
Speaker 5: delisted from from Sony PlayStation for six months and everyone's like, Okay,
Speaker 5: we don't need to yell anymore.
Speaker 6: Sony handling Daddy's home. They were in time out, they
Speaker 6: were in time I.
Speaker 7: Feel like with Mike it's like burritos or like a
Speaker 7: reverse Popeye situation where it's like it was Spinach, where
Speaker 7: it's like you give Mikey burrito instead of getting really strong,
Speaker 7: he turns into super fuddy dead.
Speaker 2: Oh like one out of five people not liking Cyberpunk
Speaker 2: is fine, right, No.
Speaker 4: You've been numerous fuddy uddies today White.
Speaker 2: House does they think? Which is? You know? I?
Speaker 5: I really it was very fun, like they like the
Speaker 5: chance starts talking about like in Cyberpunk and your time
Speaker 5: to sigh was two seconds left?
Speaker 2: Yeah, really got me? No, but like, trust me, part
Speaker 2: of that is actual security. I don't like not liking
Speaker 2: things other people like like what am I missering? What
Speaker 2: do I suck? The thing is that it's all about.
Speaker 5: Me, your arc for token. I don't still know how
Speaker 5: to say that. But when we were watching the Marvel
Speaker 5: Fighting game thing and you're like, okay, I actually do
Speaker 5: think this game looks nice.
Speaker 2: Now that was fun to experience, But Jane, like, what
Speaker 2: what are you enjoying about it? Like this time? What's
Speaker 2: popping off for you?
Speaker 1: I think I just haven't had like the proper time
Speaker 1: to just sit down and digest cyberpunk. And it's normally
Speaker 1: not my bag either. I kind of don't like all
Speaker 1: this weird techno neon jazz, but I kind of dig
Speaker 1: it is just being able to sit down or lay
Speaker 1: down with it on my switch to. I never tried
Speaker 1: it out on the steam deck, but it's pretty similar. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it runs perfectly fine on on the switch to, and
Speaker 1: then like investigating crimes and like, you know, I just
Speaker 1: kind of stare at that neon sign that says, fuck
Speaker 1: do you you die?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I get it everyone.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I heard, like I hear the switch to
Speaker 2: version is good? Is it like? It's not sixty francs
Speaker 2: per second on switch to? Is it not?
Speaker 5: I think there's a high frame rates that's forty that
Speaker 5: actually works really well.
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. I'm kind of indignant that this seems
Speaker 2: to be running better than Hitman is on switch to.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's annoying. That's stupid that they should have a.
Speaker 2: Performance mode for Hitman on switch to.
Speaker 1: I hear yack, it runs really well.
Speaker 2: Yeah it does all right. Hey.
Speaker 5: Digital clips is hard at work, one of the hardest
Speaker 5: work in studios.
Speaker 2: They have another.
Speaker 5: Collection here this time it's for the Arcade Golf series
Speaker 5: Golden Tea Golf Week, for Golf Week, Here we Go
Speaker 5: retro compilation. Digital Eclipse announced Golden t Arcade Classics, a
Speaker 5: compilation of eight games from Incredible Technologies, including six Golden
Speaker 5: Tea titles. It will be released on July seventeenth, which
Speaker 5: is around the time we were thinking about Golf Week,
Speaker 5: and physically it'll be released on October twenty fourth. The
Speaker 5: collection features new practice in Mulligan modes. Atari's Mike Mica
Speaker 5: stated the collection aims to bring the Golden Tea experience
Speaker 5: home with modern enhancements. Digital Clips is also working on
Speaker 5: Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection of course collections spelled with a K,
Speaker 5: which will include over twenty versions of Mortal Kombats one
Speaker 5: through four with modern enhancements and online play.
Speaker 2: They gotta release like a trackball controller for this, right,
Speaker 2: I hope so?
Speaker 5: But I mean I'm okay with like midickanio on the
Speaker 5: analog stick, but I would love a track ball controller.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I was just thinking about the CDI controller for our
Speaker 5: zett the other day. It's like, man, I want more
Speaker 5: one game controllers?
Speaker 2: Are is that so good?
Speaker 7: And love?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 5: Yep, golden golden see do you guys ever have a
Speaker 5: golden Tierra. I was almost like, I like my PC
Speaker 5: golf games and stuff like that.
Speaker 7: I played links on dos yeah I did too, Yeah,
Speaker 7: and like Tiger was my big one.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, like early late Xbox, early three sixty Tiger
Speaker 2: games were great. Otherwise it's mostly the Mario games and
Speaker 2: then Neo Turf Masters of course, of course Geo Classic.
Speaker 7: I love hot Shots, It's weird. I played way more
Speaker 7: hot Shots and Tiger than I have Mario Golf. I
Speaker 7: just never really played the Mario Golf games. O.
Speaker 2: Mario's great, but because the best ones were handhelds when
Speaker 2: you weren't well handholds.
Speaker 7: And then when I got the analog, that was the
Speaker 7: first game I really dove into. Is that Mario Golf
Speaker 7: and it is fantastic?
Speaker 2: Yes, yep, uh, all right, let's see here.
Speaker 5: Arthur Morgan voice actor is also teasing something Red Dead related,
Speaker 5: following previous John Marston voice actor tease. Voice actors who
Speaker 5: Red Dead Redemption two are teasing upcoming news related to
Speaker 5: the franchise. Rob Witthoff, who's John mars Marston excuse me,
Speaker 5: announced exciting news during a live stream, and Roger Clark,
Speaker 5: who is Arthur Morgan, replied yes to a fans question
Speaker 5: about the news. I don't know, Like I think Red
Speaker 5: Dead Redemption two getting ported to the switch to is
Speaker 5: definitely something that people have mentioned recently.
Speaker 6: That's possible.
Speaker 5: The game came out in twenty eighteen, that seems like
Speaker 5: it should be able to run on a switch to.
Speaker 1: Didn't they put Red Dead Redemption on the switch one?
Speaker 4: Was it cloud or was it fully?
Speaker 5: No, it was it was a shoot game. Red Dead
Speaker 5: Redemption one was on there, and then Red Dead Redemption
Speaker 5: two is not on the switch in any way.
Speaker 2: It can't be much more than that. It's not like
Speaker 2: Red Dead Redemption three is happening still no for G six,
Speaker 2: So yeah, like I can't imagine what else it would
Speaker 2: possibly be. And they didn't do any deal see right now,
Speaker 2: not to the extent of undad Nightmare, because they were
Speaker 2: trying to make, you know, Red Dead Online happen and
Speaker 2: it never really.
Speaker 5: So there's no definitive edition they could sort of like
Speaker 5: piece together I can think of. Has there been a
Speaker 5: native PS five Xbox Series X update.
Speaker 2: That's a good question. I don't really think so actually,
Speaker 2: And one's great. Yeah PCs. Yeah, it's awesome on PC.
Speaker 5: So what I can see this being is a we're
Speaker 5: gonna put it, We're gonna have a native version for
Speaker 5: PS five and Xbox Series X and S, I guess,
Speaker 5: and then well, so release it for switch to, which again,
Speaker 5: it should be able to run on switch to.
Speaker 2: I think one cup the Red Dead one get a
Speaker 2: switched to performance patch. I don't know. It doesn't need
Speaker 2: one though.
Speaker 5: That's an Xbox three sixty game, right, Yeah, probably already
Speaker 5: already running great on switch one.
Speaker 2: I didn't play it. Yeah, so apparently Red the two
Speaker 2: is like three frintce per second on a PlayStation five,
Speaker 2: So yeah, they should make a next gen version of that.
Speaker 5: There you go. That That's that's why was happening here.
Speaker 2: That's what even I was stretching it pretty hard.
Speaker 5: There next he did it, everybody, the greatest match trick
Speaker 5: you've ever seen. Borderlands four actually won't be eighty dollars
Speaker 5: after all, and people are seeming grateful that it's only
Speaker 5: seventy dollars, So son of a bitch, yep. There of course,
Speaker 5: are like more expensive versions of the game. So if
Speaker 5: you want, if you you know, have been working that
Speaker 5: extra job to afford afford Borderlands four. You can get
Speaker 5: the you know, one hundred and twenty dollars version. I'm
Speaker 5: sure that gets you early access or whatever. Actually it's
Speaker 5: one hundred and thirty dollars Super Deluxe Edition and one
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty dollars Collectors Edition.
Speaker 7: So yet is this he had a speaker, yea, he
Speaker 7: said a lot of those.
Speaker 6: Borderlands for seventy dollars.
Speaker 5: Do you think there's a chance that they were going
Speaker 5: to do eighty and they backed off because of the backlash?
Speaker 7: One?
Speaker 6: I think it probably did go that way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Yeah. It's such a weird transition period we're
Speaker 2: having here where it's like, all right, Outer Worlds two
Speaker 2: that's eighty dollars, Borderlands four is seventy. It's just like
Speaker 2: so hard seeing what is what with these things.
Speaker 5: And it's you know, at a certain point, it is
Speaker 5: just like saying things because so much of the audience
Speaker 5: are going to be people are like, well, I wasn't
Speaker 5: gonna buy it at seventy. I'm not gonna buy it
Speaker 5: at eighty. I am looking for a deal and I'm
Speaker 5: waiting for this thing to be around fifty forty dollars.
Speaker 6: So it's like, I.
Speaker 5: Guess it's just telling them maybe you're gonna have to
Speaker 5: wait a little bit longer, or you're gonna have to
Speaker 5: settle for a slightly higher price than you would otherwise,
Speaker 5: because these a lot of these games are not games
Speaker 5: that people necessarily always rush out and get right away.
Speaker 2: Borderlines, for I guess.
Speaker 5: Will be one that sells well out of the gate,
Speaker 5: but it also does well in sales because of this
Speaker 5: very reason.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's.
Speaker 1: Really interesting September for the release. Yeah, yeah, that I
Speaker 1: have the release date.
Speaker 6: Yeah, September twelfth.
Speaker 1: I could see a bunch of folks waiting for the
Speaker 1: holiday time, expecting like a sale to drop, just because
Speaker 1: like that feels like a good holiday game to team
Speaker 1: up with people and Borderlands.
Speaker 5: You know, maybe it's not you be soft fast to
Speaker 5: go on sale, but I traditionally remember Borderlands being like here,
Speaker 5: it is by that first holiday, you were going to
Speaker 5: be able to get a good deal on it. All right,
Speaker 5: A handful more stories here Mind's Eye Studios trying to
Speaker 5: fix the game. Yeah, they say they feel bad about
Speaker 5: all the glitches and the performance issues. It was like
Speaker 5: causing me a lot of problems trying to stream it.
Speaker 5: Other people are seeing a lot of stutters. We did
Speaker 5: see a handful of glitches, including SEB spaghetti flying. The
Speaker 5: game's not even worth really rescuing though, right, Like is
Speaker 5: is it going to be worth all this effort?
Speaker 2: I mean, like what else is? Yeah? But like what
Speaker 2: else are these people going to do? Like hurry up
Speaker 2: and try to make a new game and hope that one.
Speaker 5: Well, I do want to see the fate of don't
Speaker 5: drunk drink dust man?
Speaker 7: Yeah, what's dust drug?
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't drink it?
Speaker 7: Though there was something to save there, if there was
Speaker 7: like a kernel le a like, oh if only this worked,
Speaker 7: well then this is a great idea, but like there's
Speaker 7: no idea there.
Speaker 2: The cyberpunk situation here, right, Yeah, that's.
Speaker 5: Definitely it's far from a cyberpunk. I mean there's the
Speaker 5: user generated content platform that I have no idea. I
Speaker 5: guess didn't Someone said Leo Vader messed around with that
Speaker 5: a little bit, so yeah, of course.
Speaker 2: Through anyway, what's the last time we checked in on
Speaker 2: Red Fall? Because like that game got updates? Did they
Speaker 2: like were they able to fix.
Speaker 5: If we don't get to our internal goal, we all
Speaker 5: have to play through Red Fall.
Speaker 2: I'll work really hard at that point. All right, let's
Speaker 2: see here.
Speaker 5: Metal Gear Solid Delta multiplayer mode revealed. Uh fox Hunt,
Speaker 5: fox Hunt is uh fox Hunt guys?
Speaker 2: What to say?
Speaker 1: A little speaker, guys, A little.
Speaker 6: Little speaker, never heard anybody.
Speaker 5: Uh, yeah, it's not middle Gear Online, but it is, like,
Speaker 5: you know, a successor to that. It's going to play
Speaker 5: a little bit different. But it sounds like when I
Speaker 5: hear fox Hunt and they talk about like hiding, playing
Speaker 5: a hide and seek mode, sounds like prop Hunt.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, that's what they're going for. I'm not curious
Speaker 7: about it. Like I I tried a little bit of
Speaker 7: middle Year Online back in the day with subsystems and
Speaker 7: it had some ideas and stuff, but I'm not precious
Speaker 7: about it. So I'm fine with a totally new approach
Speaker 7: to the online thing. Just keep Snake Eater the way
Speaker 7: it is, but the online stuff get funky with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's where you should definitely be messing around and
Speaker 5: trying new ideas. And then there's the ape Escape crossover
Speaker 5: thing that's not going to be on Xbox because ap
Speaker 5: Escape belongs to PlayStation. This wasn't a problem before because
Speaker 5: usually these games wouldn't come out to Xbox at that time.
Speaker 5: Now it is, so they have a solution. They're gonna
Speaker 5: put Bomberman in the place of Ape Escape for that
Speaker 5: stuff on Xbox, which I prefer. Actually, I love Escape.
Speaker 5: Give me bomber Man.
Speaker 2: Wait a second, now, what did they do because Bulger
Speaker 2: saw the three Subsistence did come out in the original
Speaker 2: Xbox they.
Speaker 6: Probably just didn't have that mode.
Speaker 2: I think they just didn't have that mode by Funky. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so it's a good thing where yeah, it's nice at
Speaker 2: working on the here. Yeah, bomber Man are cool.
Speaker 7: Did Subsistence come out on Xbox? Yes, and there's substance
Speaker 7: maybe substance with Snake Skateboarding. Did You're right Subsistence was
Speaker 7: just PS two?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think I was like, well they put substance.
Speaker 2: Obviously they did Subsistence, but they didn't. Okay, well, then
Speaker 2: there's your answer.
Speaker 5: Uh, that game is out not that like August right,
Speaker 5: August twenty eighth for PlayStation five 'sport series and PC.
Speaker 5: That'll be a nice Dead as summer game. I thought
Speaker 5: you want to say something like sorry.
Speaker 2: Mat because I did. And then you know what, Jeff
Speaker 2: can well done because you read my body pleasure perfectly.
Speaker 2: I did, and then I was like, I don't want
Speaker 2: to say.
Speaker 5: That fair enough. Well we got to the bottom of that.
Speaker 2: Say that wasn't like trust, it wasn't provocative, It just
Speaker 2: wasn't a good point.
Speaker 7: It gets Oh, just discorded me what he was going
Speaker 7: to say. That's crazy?
Speaker 2: Can you believe it? Uh?
Speaker 5: Pre Orders for the Xbox raj ally will be well
Speaker 5: reportedly begin in August, with launch expected two months later.
Speaker 2: Out of controls.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm like, I think we called it like Roger
Speaker 5: and now I'm just shortening that to raj.
Speaker 2: That is that the girl from Fraser?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Right, yeah, this is who's Roger over it? Kind of
Speaker 5: funny shout, wasn't it Daphne?
Speaker 6: There's daph Yeah.
Speaker 2: Daphne's the living a physical therapist for the love interest
Speaker 2: of the producer at the radio station, his wife, whose
Speaker 2: name is like oh uh not on the spots scrambled.
Speaker 2: It's more of a cheers character. If I'm being Lilith
Speaker 2: time there.
Speaker 1: Should I watch Fraser?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, great, it's number one, sick on number one.
Speaker 5: It's not number one, but it's Seinfeldt. It's not better,
Speaker 5: but Is it better than Becker?
Speaker 6: Yes, everything's better than Becker. Jan it's the one thing
Speaker 6: you've seen the completion, which is so weird, but okay,
Speaker 6: it's fine.
Speaker 5: Actually, should watch What's the What's the Good? Yeah, that's
Speaker 5: exactly right watching.
Speaker 2: Watching an episode because we brought it up. It'd be
Speaker 2: like this ship is really good.
Speaker 6: Hot and clear, exclusively about menopause, exclusive to the TV
Speaker 6: channel channel.
Speaker 2: The girl who plays that sad that so yeah.
Speaker 6: Never I've never met a Fraser truther like this who
Speaker 6: is just like one number one, Like.
Speaker 3: I think Tim Terry might be God, that's so insane.
Speaker 3: I think the same person.
Speaker 2: If I think if you ask people their favorite sitcom
Speaker 2: is Fraser would be like one of the like.
Speaker 6: In our ten most popular rants, you would be on
Speaker 6: the family think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would have not been the top five, probably
Speaker 2: certainly would have been the top three. But it's mine.
Speaker 6: Okay, that's nice. It's for Mikey's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like a lot, Like I don't want to
Speaker 2: say Stiphold wears thin. It doesn't. It's still very good,
Speaker 2: but like, I don't know, there's something about Phrasers, you
Speaker 2: know me, I need a little bit more sincerity. I
Speaker 2: need to see that people actually love and care about
Speaker 2: each other sometimes that I get. I love.
Speaker 7: What was the Seinfeld motto when they were making was like,
Speaker 7: no hugging, no learning. Yeah, all right, yeah that's us too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I respect that, and I do like that,
Speaker 2: But I like he likes a little hugging.
Speaker 5: I just yeah, I just like although the fact that
Speaker 5: Seinhold had on the language of a close talker and
Speaker 5: all that stuff coming from their double dipper, that was them.
Speaker 2: You dipped the chip, you took a bite, you dipped
Speaker 2: again again.
Speaker 5: Final Fantasy sixteen runs at seven to twenty P. We
Speaker 5: got to burn the whole thing down, everybody, this is unacceptable.
Speaker 2: Take your pitchforks out.
Speaker 5: It's gonna on Xbox Series X and Performance mode. It's
Speaker 5: gonna be seven twenty p. The game looked soft in
Speaker 5: Performance mode on PlayStation five. I guess this sounds to
Speaker 5: me like they probably could have had it run at
Speaker 5: a higher for resolution. But listen, just beggars can't be
Speaker 5: choosers at.
Speaker 2: A certain point.
Speaker 5: If this is really how you're gonna play the game,
Speaker 5: just deal with it. But also, like, yeah, I kind
Speaker 5: of feel like Xbox Series X should be more powerful
Speaker 5: than that. Should be able to run that game at
Speaker 5: a higher frame rate. I'm most surprised that Microsoft, after
Speaker 5: like five years in doesn't have their own sort of
Speaker 5: a DLSS solution for the Xbox. I thought that they
Speaker 5: would like get something like that running, and they just don't.
Speaker 5: So all these games are just kind of relying that
Speaker 5: on that stuff on other consoles and not having anything
Speaker 5: to take advantage on the Xbox. Of sports, you could
Speaker 5: suppose you could use FSR, but that's just not really.
Speaker 6: Breaking news.
Speaker 5: Reporter in the field, Mike Manaughty, we're going to go
Speaker 5: to you.
Speaker 2: Marathon is delayed.
Speaker 5: Oh, Mike manatty were you're breaking up?
Speaker 2: The storm's coming in Heavy?
Speaker 6: It's delayed to win Well.
Speaker 2: It's not coming out September twenty third anymore, and it
Speaker 2: seems to not have a new release date.
Speaker 6: That's okay, so I guess it is and not a marathon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll hear from us again fall when we made
Speaker 2: when we could share the progress you're made alongside the
Speaker 2: game's new release date. So later this fall, though, announce
Speaker 2: a new release date. Doesn't seem like this year. I
Speaker 2: get suppose it still could be.
Speaker 5: Well, there go drop this from my fantasy critic and
Speaker 5: be very excited about that because I picked that before
Speaker 5: all this stuff started happening.
Speaker 7: All right, they're gonna have it's a metric prime for
Speaker 7: delay during the.
Speaker 5: That'd be funny they lead with that least least surprising
Speaker 5: news in a lot of ways, right, I mean, this
Speaker 5: felt like obviously they were gonna do this, but no,
Speaker 5: no new release date. Is it as ominous as it sounds?
Speaker 2: I mean, it just was ominous in the sense that
Speaker 2: I don't think it's coming out this year. Do I
Speaker 2: think this is a game that's canceled or never coming out?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 6: No, I mean yes, they let everyone play it. The
Speaker 6: vibes were off and now it's delayed. What else do
Speaker 6: you need? That's story?
Speaker 5: Yeah, But like, okay, do we think had Concord been
Speaker 5: delayed they could have turned that into something else?
Speaker 2: There is that question like what are we gonna do here?
Speaker 2: Suicide Squad is a big example. They delayed that game
Speaker 2: like a year, like a big delay for Suicide Squad,
Speaker 2: And what did that do except make the game more
Speaker 2: expensive of a bomb for them?
Speaker 6: Exactly right. So that's what I'm liking.
Speaker 5: It's not as obvious to me that I mean, yeah,
Speaker 5: they will release something here for sure because it's Bungie,
Speaker 5: but like, it just doesn't feel like this is going
Speaker 5: to be the answer to what ails them. And I
Speaker 5: guess no one's suggesting that, but uh, yeah, good luck.
Speaker 5: I don't want Marathon to bomb. I wanted to be
Speaker 5: able to find an audience because then Bungie gets to
Speaker 5: continue existing as it does. Although I say that and like,
Speaker 5: we've heard bad things about the leadership, so maybe it
Speaker 5: shouldn't get.
Speaker 2: Surprising because like the entire time with Marathon is like, well,
Speaker 2: that seems weird. But I bet once people play it,
Speaker 2: they're gonna be like, wow, this feels so great to
Speaker 2: play and so fun. It said that Alpha came out
Speaker 2: and people like that. I don't know if I get it,
Speaker 2: And that was my reactions, like I don't get it.
Speaker 2: I guess other people are gonna like this. Maybe the
Speaker 2: it's was no people are making it and here we are,
Speaker 2: but yeah, like, what are you gonna do? You can't
Speaker 2: not make it what you made it to be. I guess,
Speaker 2: like you know, Fortnite was able to pull that miracle.
Speaker 2: I don't think there's too many in those not a magician's.
Speaker 5: Hat, there's not a lot of like, oh, we have
Speaker 5: this idea that it was handed to us by another
Speaker 5: developer that we're working with. Epic was working with the
Speaker 5: PUBG developer, helping them develop the unreal engine into something
Speaker 5: to be able to play that better, and as they
Speaker 5: were doing it, they went, oh, wait a second, we
Speaker 5: don't need this other person. Now, that's not a situation
Speaker 5: any other studios ever, in like, because you're not controlling
Speaker 5: your engine like that necessarily.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know, Marathon.
Speaker 5: I suppose when it re emerges, I think there's a
Speaker 5: chance it is no longer an extraction shooter the next
Speaker 5: thing they see it, I.
Speaker 6: Mean think it's crazy.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, but it's like Chuck Shooter is not that
Speaker 2: far especially that game that I was playing, It's not
Speaker 2: that far from just being a Battle Royale in a
Speaker 2: lot of ways.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think you kind of just do something
Speaker 5: slightly different, but go to something that's a little bit
Speaker 5: more broadly appealing, at least for Marathon.
Speaker 2: I bet it will still have it. I bet it'll
Speaker 2: still be an extraction shooter. But maybe it's like here's
Speaker 2: a Battle Royal mode that actually might really be more popular.
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe there's other issues. Maybe you can
Speaker 2: just make the extraction mode more fun somehow.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, hey we should make this more fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, could we talk out the graphics on level three?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what the focus group told them right before
Speaker 6: you pivot out here. I feel like the I want
Speaker 6: to go back selfishly to the rock ally thing. Please
Speaker 6: go ahead, because I feel like we missed the wards there.
Speaker 6: Pricing that was announced, there's some leak. Crazier conversation, Yeah,
Speaker 6: there was.
Speaker 5: There was some leaked pricing, that's right. So apparently pre
Speaker 5: orders were going to start in September or August or
Speaker 5: something like that. I can't remember, at least that these
Speaker 5: are leaks, these are rumors.
Speaker 6: Sure, sure.
Speaker 5: And then the lower priced one was going to be
Speaker 5: like six hundred and seven hundred euro.
Speaker 2: This is the number we have.
Speaker 5: But then the one that everyone should probably care about,
Speaker 5: the X variant that has the more powerful chip in
Speaker 5: it and has a lot of ram it's, it has
Speaker 5: the nice organomics and has all the stuff that you want,
Speaker 5: looked like it was gonna be around nine hundred euro,
Speaker 5: which is that's like a thousand dollars.
Speaker 6: And then the voice I was going to say in
Speaker 6: the voice of Mike Minati English dollars.
Speaker 5: What is that English dollars be around a thousand, so yeah,
Speaker 5: pretty expensive. But also like that's how much these things
Speaker 5: really are. We were kind of getting subsidized early on,
Speaker 5: especially by Valve for the steam deck, so it's not
Speaker 5: like out of the it's not out of pocket or
Speaker 5: anything like that. It's just a lot of money.
Speaker 6: I'm I'm very excited about this thing. I feel like
Speaker 6: I might be on an island here, but I cannot
Speaker 6: wait to get one of these because I just don't
Speaker 6: I just want one thing like and for this to
Speaker 6: replace a steam deck and do everything. I'm excited.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we've got to be getting closer to like a
Speaker 7: new steam deck, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like it's been a bit.
Speaker 7: I mean the ol ed was basically yeah, start improving
Speaker 7: for sure.
Speaker 5: But they started some of these other third party vendors
Speaker 5: that make their own hand LPCs have started shipping with
Speaker 5: the steam os on there, so that's already starting to happen.
Speaker 5: I think that's just means it's a matter of time
Speaker 5: at this point for Valves like and now here is
Speaker 5: steam Deck two Okay, probably next year. I think that's
Speaker 5: probably probably next year when that happens.
Speaker 2: Uh, Are you ready for me to jump back to
Speaker 2: Marathon because I'm looking at this block.
Speaker 6: Yes, let's just go here, go there. I'm just following you, guys.
Speaker 2: They do explain and a in a bulleted list the
Speaker 2: the ways that they're going to try to make the
Speaker 2: game better during this time.
Speaker 6: Okay, let's hear it.
Speaker 2: Okay, So three big bull points there. First off, upping
Speaker 2: the survival game more challenging and engaging AI encounters, more
Speaker 2: rewarding runs with dow types of loutnant dynamic events, making
Speaker 2: combat more tense and strategic. So you know, that's more vague.
Speaker 2: I did find the AI pretty brink there when I
Speaker 2: was playing, so that's something that can help. Number two
Speaker 2: doubling down on the Marathon universe. Increased visual fidelity, so
Speaker 2: they are tightening the graphics. Uh, more narrative and environmental
Speaker 2: storytelling to discover and interact with. And a darker tone
Speaker 2: that delivers on the themes of the original trilogy than
Speaker 2: the last thing. You're adding more social experiences, a better
Speaker 2: player experience for solo and duos, and proximity chat so
Speaker 2: social stories can come to life. So there you go.
Speaker 2: He sickos. They're adding proximity chat for you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but it's not funny, you know, meant to be
Speaker 7: used to make jokes of course.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I don't know, like will all that be
Speaker 2: enough to turn it around for this thing? Like some
Speaker 2: of it's vague, like well, I mean you're gonna make
Speaker 2: the game darker, like in what way it's a you know,
Speaker 2: it's a extraction shooter. Uh, You're gonna literally darken it.
Speaker 2: He's gonna like add in some data tapes where people
Speaker 2: talk about the horror boys they died. I don't know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just feel for them because it feels like
Speaker 5: a problem that's too big to solve. There was an
Speaker 5: updated from numbers that do include English money five hundred
Speaker 5: and eight hundred dollars in US dollars.
Speaker 6: According to it's an easier pill to swallow.
Speaker 5: Yes, definitely, So this is not like converting the euros
Speaker 5: to two dollars. This is like a different set of information. Yeah,
Speaker 5: eight hundred dollars does feel like okay, I could definitely
Speaker 5: swing that. And I'm with you back of our where
Speaker 5: it's like, once I hold this thing, if I know,
Speaker 5: I find it to be like, Okay, this is something
Speaker 5: I want to like use because I just need to
Speaker 5: do that personally, because I think it looks a little
Speaker 5: weird with the Xbox controller stable to the side. It's like,
Speaker 5: I kind of want my handhelds to look like a handheld,
Speaker 5: even if they're getting so absurdly big that that's a
Speaker 5: stupid thing to even call them anymore.
Speaker 2: But whatever, that's what I want.
Speaker 5: Unless this is just super comfortable and I won't even
Speaker 5: think about it, which is, I guess is probably what's
Speaker 5: going to happen. Because people seem to think the organomics
Speaker 5: are very good. Everything else is lining up where it's like,
Speaker 5: as long as that Xbox OS interface that makes it
Speaker 5: makes sense on a handheld is decent, I'll be very happy.
Speaker 5: That's just what I want there, right on. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 5: that does it for the news. Let's hand the show
Speaker 5: back over to Janechowa.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go take a quick pricky break, and we
Speaker 1: will be back with emails and YouTube super chats right
Speaker 1: after this.
Speaker 2: These are the emails for the show.
Speaker 1: Emails.
Speaker 7: Email coming in from Dan Record from Kansas I'm going
Speaker 7: to be in Kansas City this weekend and I just
Speaker 7: posted on blue Sky on Facebook Marketplace in Kansas City
Speaker 7: there is a cardboard standee from nineteen ninety five of
Speaker 7: Reba McIntyre holding a big bag of Fredo's scoops and
Speaker 7: it is only fifty dollars in Kansas City.
Speaker 2: It's a carper cut from the nineties. What shape could
Speaker 2: it possibly be in?
Speaker 7: It's not in great shape and I don't know if
Speaker 7: they just make me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, look at it on my blue sky.
Speaker 7: If somebody wants to buy that and bring it to
Speaker 7: my dad, who's Kansas City on the Kansas side, I
Speaker 7: will take it home this weekend.
Speaker 2: So okay.
Speaker 7: It was my birthday yesterday. This can be my late
Speaker 7: birthday present. You're taking this.
Speaker 5: You're not gonna leave it with Paul Raker, that deviant, right, No.
Speaker 7: I will put it in the game room next to
Speaker 7: all my fucked up so okay, good, How are you
Speaker 7: going to bring a pas It looks pretty folded already,
Speaker 7: so I can probably give it a fold look. If
Speaker 7: Jesse even Telley got that fucked up Palm Tree yacht
Speaker 7: as a guy back to New York, I can.
Speaker 6: Do this follow up question, how did you come to
Speaker 6: find this?
Speaker 7: I saw someone just post it and I was like, well,
Speaker 7: I need to get this flow to him like I
Speaker 7: was looking at it like in the in the leading
Speaker 7: up to your trip with your dad, or you're just like, well,
Speaker 7: I'm out there, I might as well just fucking go
Speaker 7: on market place. He wants me to shut up about
Speaker 7: it because I texted him. I said like, is this
Speaker 7: near you? And he says not at all. That's north
Speaker 7: of k C. That's closer to my friend. Is it
Speaker 7: near the airport because you're picking me up at airport?
Speaker 7: He says kind of. I think Gladstone is east of
Speaker 7: the airport a bit, but not much. So it's in
Speaker 7: Gladstone technically. Uh, probably twenty minutes for my dad. Anybody
Speaker 7: wants to get it and bring it to my dad's trailer?
Speaker 2: Wow? Yes, all right.
Speaker 1: BombCast Giant bomb dot com is the email addressed to
Speaker 1: send you emails to. If you wind up purchasing and
Speaker 1: want to handle correspondence about the RIBA McIntyre cardboard cutout,
Speaker 1: Please send emails to BombCast John Bomb dot com Yeah,
Speaker 1: or Blue Skymie or Blue Sky dam. First email comes
Speaker 1: from Simon from Saskatchewan, continuing with trivia. Thank you Simon, Hello, BombCast.
Speaker 1: Pronunciation of this beautiful province does not end with Lund.
Speaker 1: Like many non Canadians say, it's Newfoundland. There was a
Speaker 1: case of a person being killed in an argument in
Speaker 1: Colorado in eighteen seventy six over the pronunciation. It's a
Speaker 1: pretty wild story too. The murderer confessed on what he
Speaker 1: thought was his deathbed, only to get better and have
Speaker 1: to go on the run again. Newfoundland and Labrador has
Speaker 1: some amazing names for towns, example Conception Bay, Conception Bay South,
Speaker 1: and there are dozens and would make this email too long.
Speaker 1: The list is worth reading. Confusingly, Labrador dogs don't come
Speaker 1: from Labrador, but Newfoundland. Newfoundland dogs do come from Newfoundland
Speaker 1: though thanks of course you signed from Saskatchewan.
Speaker 2: PS.
Speaker 1: How's the mugsaga going bad?
Speaker 2: Poorly? I think it's great. I had to like set
Speaker 2: aside like hours today to go through it and finally
Speaker 2: to do some stuff on the back end.
Speaker 5: He was stomping and in his own house back like
Speaker 5: just pacing back and forth like looking so grumpy.
Speaker 2: It was great. Yeah, I'll figure it out though, we'll
Speaker 2: get we'll get on it all right. Next email comes
Speaker 2: from Mike from Loveland. Hello, giant bombsyebot suit. Last week,
Speaker 2: jan Live edited an email for me mid read without
Speaker 2: losing a drop of rhythm, A talent you could only
Speaker 2: discover because the job you're forced to do. What other
Speaker 2: hidden talents did you discover you have via the jobs
Speaker 2: you've worked. During my time as a sandwich artist, I
Speaker 2: learned I know exactly how much ioli to get on
Speaker 2: the knife, very perfect, even spread across bread. Love the show,
Speaker 2: Love you all, Mike from Loveland.
Speaker 7: I mean, I think an obvious one for us is
Speaker 7: playing a video game, keeping conversation with other people, and
Speaker 7: keeping tabs on a chat. I know, like when I
Speaker 7: brought people onto streams that don't do this for a living,
Speaker 7: I realize how unnatural of a skill that is.
Speaker 2: I didn't.
Speaker 5: I don't even think about it. And you're right until
Speaker 5: I see other people in that situation, like, what do
Speaker 5: you know? I don't like doing any of that. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 5: I get that now that you explain it. But yeahah
Speaker 5: it makes sense that that be hard, but it's do
Speaker 5: it so fucking much, you know. It's it's honestly, it's
Speaker 5: like I was thinking along those same lines, and it's
Speaker 5: uh that has helped me. As Like I've had the
Speaker 5: kids and they're like they constantly want to talk, and
Speaker 5: they never realized that maybe I'm already having a conversation
Speaker 5: with like their mom. They don't care about that. I'm
Speaker 5: going to talk now and be able to like started
Speaker 5: traffic like we play traffic cop for all that stuff.
Speaker 5: But all right, you go over here and wait over
Speaker 5: here while I finish this conversation and you're in this
Speaker 5: part of that.
Speaker 2: It's like that's the same thing of like managing.
Speaker 5: All these different stuff uh uh, you know, things that
Speaker 5: need your attention on a stream and stuff like that.
Speaker 5: So both those things have fed into one another.
Speaker 2: I think sometimes when it comes to linking in like
Speaker 2: an external mic to a video recording, because I've looked
Speaker 2: at y'all's waveforms so much, I can just do it
Speaker 2: by sight or versus doing it by like actually like
Speaker 2: looking at the waveforms.
Speaker 4: What are the tells?
Speaker 1: Well, the easiest hell, back in the day with Brad,
Speaker 1: his waveforms instead of going up, they went down because
Speaker 1: and then Grub has like a unique cadence where like
Speaker 1: he will pause before like introducing another news story, so
Speaker 1: it's easier to find a break.
Speaker 2: There you go, interesting, Oh, there you go, there you go.
Speaker 1: Ye intimate knowledge you think you know someone you don't
Speaker 1: until you stare at their waveforms.
Speaker 7: Baby, yeah, get.
Speaker 6: Deep in the wave forms, the closest thing we have
Speaker 6: to a soul.
Speaker 2: Exactly like that.
Speaker 6: Wow, backler deep, I know I've been holding onto that
Speaker 6: for a minute.
Speaker 1: Tom from Saint Catherine, Ontario, Canada, sent from my iPhone
Speaker 1: rights in. I don't feel good about this, but I
Speaker 1: finished Mind's Eye tonight and I couldn't have that bee
Speaker 1: for nothing. Well, I was playing. I was getting a
Speaker 1: weird familiar feeling, but I couldn't quite put my finger
Speaker 1: on it. Then it hit me.
Speaker 2: A game that was obviously a one point meant to
Speaker 2: be open world, unforgivable, unforgivably long driving sequences that led
Speaker 2: to boring cover shootouts, extremely bland, very brown, desert setting,
Speaker 2: take away the clothes on love making and brothers.
Speaker 1: This is cyber Ride Hell to Retribution. Oh no oh. Also,
Speaker 1: the game ends in a weird underground temple, so it's
Speaker 1: all kinds of alone in the dark for the Wii. Anyways,
Speaker 1: I funk with you all, thanks by.
Speaker 2: But there's a charm yes, charmless Ride to Hell.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Hell's at least funny and goofy.
Speaker 5: He has character, right, This has like Ride to Hell
Speaker 5: was devoid of anything. It's like a like just a
Speaker 5: it's insane.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I can't believe you finished this emailer.
Speaker 1: Tom, Yeah, please spend your time wisely.
Speaker 2: I do think I actually ended up on the mind's
Speaker 2: Eye subreddit and there are like very interesting people that
Speaker 2: are like the game.
Speaker 6: Actually, see we need to interview We need to interview
Speaker 6: these people. Yeah, that is what we need to Hello, Hi,
Speaker 6: Yes you would like to defend this game? Go on,
Speaker 6: off you go.
Speaker 5: I mean there was there's those people for everything. There
Speaker 5: were those people in television a Mico.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, just a ravenous group of me. I just
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 6: It's just copium, right, yeah, yes.
Speaker 2: And you're definitely most likely to find them on the
Speaker 2: subreddit for that page. Or it's either that or the
Speaker 2: sub writer is like a complete like hate room with
Speaker 2: nothing but absolutely violent.
Speaker 6: That yeah, there's between yeah.
Speaker 1: Man, all right, we have a we have two quizzes.
Speaker 1: Actually who first one comes in? Hey bombers. A couple
Speaker 1: of months ago, I sent y'all a Dan versus Mike
Speaker 1: quiz involving the Wo Tong and Lord of the Rings. Well,
Speaker 1: after extensive research, I now present to you Dan versus
Speaker 1: Mike Quiz Round two. It's seven questions, each worth one
Speaker 1: point each. The winner is less Weird for the.
Speaker 6: Day, Oh for the day. Okay.
Speaker 1: Dan has to tell us whether the following character or
Speaker 1: characters are from Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest. Mike has
Speaker 1: to tell us whether the following rap artist or group
Speaker 1: is from the East Coast or West Coast of the US. Hell, yeah,
Speaker 1: I won't ask them to get too granular. Dan won't

Speaker 1: they're from, and Mike only has to say East or
Speaker 1: West coast, not the city.
Speaker 5: Can Me and Baclard just register answers after they do,
Speaker 5: because we obviously ours don't count.
Speaker 1: And one final housekeeping note, I didn't include Grubbing these
Speaker 1: quizzes because to my recollection, he has never lost to
Speaker 1: Dan or Mike in a quiz, so it wouldn't be fair.
Speaker 5: That's I think that's fair. Yeah, that sounds direct to me.
Speaker 1: All Right, Dan, we're gonna go through your seven questions first,
Speaker 1: and then we'll go to Mike grub backl.
