00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: Jeff oh Man, Dan, you sound like you're in low

14
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:06,400
gear right now.

15
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 4: I'm like, you know, like in a game when you're

16
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,319
standin to meters, like all the way down, it's just blinking.

17
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,599
It's like, you know, every once in a while, I

18
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,599
will get to that, and I think after you know,

19
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:17,359
just a lot of weekends of travel and busyness and stuff.

20
00:01:17,359 --> 00:01:18,400
I'm blinking right now.

21
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: He's blinking right now. He's joining the dark side and

22
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,280
also making his way to that side of the equation.

23
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:33,680
My boy, my son, the bad boy. Some would call

24
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,719
him the Cleveland streamer.

25
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 3: A lot of people are calling him that.

26
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: Manadi liland Ai. Yeah, I feel okay, A scary tornado

27
00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:53,439

28
00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:55,239
doing good. I'll talk about that in a bit.

29
00:01:55,719 --> 00:01:59,879
Speaker 1: We will be comparing natural disasters in just a short moment,

30
00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:05,319
but perpetually in first gear turbo mode, Turbo Sean.

00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: How are you, pal?

32
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,120

00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,560
We have an interesting makeup today with we've got channing

39
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:30,599
grub out on assignments. We just used that to say

40
00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:35,199
they're doing other shit. How is everyone doing, Mike Manati,

41
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:37,240
I want to talk to you because I think I

42
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,319
want to see if you think you had an interesting

43
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,159
natural disaster situation. I had won myself you go first?

44
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so I was. I was hanging out with

45
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,879
my dad my stepmom. We went to a local wing

46
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,960
place called Quaker Steak in the lube. Ah huh, yeahs

47
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,280
in the name lubes in the name. It used to

48
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,159
be a gas station back in the day, so that's

49
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:04,599
why lube is in there. So we're at the Loube place.

50
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,599
Speaker 3: You can just take the lube out of the name

51
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,000
and right.

52
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 2: So we're saying we got our chicken wings, and then

53
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,800
like our phones start freaking out like a tornado warning.

54
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,599
It's like okay, and everyone's kind of looking around nervously

55
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,479
like oh okay, and then the storm rolls in. It

56
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,479
is just crazy. You can't even look out the window.

57
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,719
You can't see anything. The lights go off for some reason.

58
00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:29,560
It causes like smoking the kitchens and now the fire

59
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,039
warms going off. There's like a loud screeching and flashing lights.

60
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,520
Even in moments, in moments like this, you're always looking

61
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:41,639
for an authority figure to help you right right, and

62
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,400
you're for somebody to tell you what to do to

63
00:03:45,439 --> 00:03:48,840
be safe. And in this case it's the weekend manager

64
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,479
of the Quaker Steak and Lube, and it's like, what

65
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,280
do we do, sir. It's like, well, if a tornado comes,

66
00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:55,560
get get under your table.

67
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,319
Speaker 4: It was like, oh good, that's fine for tornadoes. You

68
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:01,360
get away from the windows and get down to a basement.

69
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:02,960
That's that's rules.

70
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: There's I don't think there's a basement here. We came

71
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,719
of our own plane of just going to like the

72
00:04:06,759 --> 00:04:08,719
men's room because there's no windows. Is kind of in

73
00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:12,120
the middle to work that.

74
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 4: That feels like some like you know, a nuke is

75
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:18,639
coming in from Russia. Hide you know, yeah, do cover

76
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,199
you get in the doorway for earthwakes. The nukes were

77
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:21,920
under your desk.

78
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: Oh right, that'll make the kettles feel better. I sure

79
00:04:26,319 --> 00:04:28,839
that'll save us, Mikey. If I was there, I would

80
00:04:28,879 --> 00:04:30,959
have protected you, pal. I would have turned myself into

81
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,759
a mind's eye glitch and just sort of barashoot it

82
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:34,959
over your entire body.

83
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, my dad was My actual dad was unbothered. I

84
00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:39,959
couldn't tell if he was doing that because like he

85
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,040
thought it made me more calm, or if he actually

86
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,959
just kind of like didn't care. Like at one point

87
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,079
he like went to the actually rushroom to go to

88
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,879
the bathroom, and I'm talking to the waitress and she's really scared.

89
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,360
But that goes back like, yeah, the waitress was really nervous.

90
00:04:51,439 --> 00:04:54,439
He's like, why, I'm like a tornado, you know, because

91
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,399
it's like, you know, everyone's like, oh, the funnel's touching

92
00:04:56,439 --> 00:05:00,000
down up the road over there, like oh that's good,

93
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,560
that's great. So it was a little scary. Then it

94
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,279
passed and uh we got to leave, and like the

95
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,360
rope was just flooded because it's this big flash flood.

96
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,279
My car was practically like sailing across some of like

97
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,319
the lower parts, you know that the water's just practically

98
00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:18,160
coming up to the window. It was really like it's

99
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:23,439
just this crazy, like thirty minute mega storm. But the

100
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,800
tornado touchdown more like the town over where I was.

101
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,480
But uh, yeah, we have to pay for our meal.

102
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,240
My dad like volunteered too. That's like, oh, we can

103
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,480
just give you cash. That's too nice.

104
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 3: Sometimes he loves giving out cash, doesn't he.

105
00:05:37,439 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, just freshing crisp pondos.

106
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,319
Speaker 3: He carried around with him.

107
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 2: Oh you know what, no five thousand dollars. No one

108
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:50,360
robbed my dad.

109
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,759
Speaker 1: My dad carries tons of cash on him at all times.

110
00:05:55,079 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 3: It's insane.

111
00:05:56,079 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is.

112
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,639
Speaker 5: Old people love cash.

113
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: They love cash. They're just like tangible, this is tender,

114
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,199
this is good. This is gonna when when the nuclear

115
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,160
fallout comes. All the cockroaches will take hundreds right exactly,

116
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:11,560
you know, like, what's you're the problem?

117
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,879
Speaker 2: What's your natural disas? What happened to you? Jerse?

118
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you for asking, Mikey. So yeah, I I

119
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,439
had not heard the alarm on the phone go off

120
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,680
in a minute. Apparently we've like completely defunded the system

121
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,240
that operates that. But regardless of that, it went off,

122
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,079
and they were just saying, hey, extreme you know, possible

123
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,600
chances of a of like extreme thunderstorms, severe thunderstorms, and

124
00:06:37,879 --> 00:06:40,000
just like, uh, you know a lot of times you

125
00:06:40,079 --> 00:06:42,800
hear that sort of warning, You're like, all right, you know,

126
00:06:42,879 --> 00:06:45,079
maybe I won't go outside and play around a golf.

127
00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: Uh.

128
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:51,079
Speaker 1: The sky at around seven pm on Friday night here

129
00:06:52,439 --> 00:06:56,879
when black, I mean, you know, and it's it's the

130
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,920
beginning of summer. These are long sunlight days, and you know,

131
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,160
at seven o'clock it's pretty bright out and this went

132
00:07:05,399 --> 00:07:10,480
black and a round of wind came in around eighty

133
00:07:10,519 --> 00:07:14,120
to ninety miles an hour in front of a big thunderstorm,

134
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,959
and we just had to fucking survive it. Like it

135
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:23,160
knocked down trees all over my neighborhood, Like you know,

136
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,800
you guys have been here on it blocked the exit

137
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,959
to our little street, like it was trees down everywhere.

138
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,199
I went out for a second because I didn't want

139
00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:36,600
like there was something that wasn't tied down. I didn't

140
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,040
want it to blow away, So I like ran out

141
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,920
real quick and just brought it back in. And as

142
00:07:40,959 --> 00:07:43,160
I was coming back in, I just all I could

143
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:47,319
hear behind me was like violent snapping of tree limbs,

144
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,759
like the crack and the pop and to the point

145
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,560
where like thankfully nothing fell, and you know, it was

146
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,759
a direct emergency. But like I like looked up through

147
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,240
the windows when I got back in the house, and

148
00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:01,079
I could see, like, man, and there's some shit going

149
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,560
on up there that needs a safety inspection.

150
00:08:04,439 --> 00:08:04,639
Speaker 2: You know.

151
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: Like after the storm rolled through, like it was intense,

152
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,839
tons of power outages, just like some of the most

153
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,040
violent wind I think I've really ever seen in daylight.

154
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:16,639
Speaker 2: It was.

155
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,759
Speaker 1: It was kind of freaking horrifying. I'm not gonna lie.

156
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: It was. It was rough, yeah, but I still had

157
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,160
a tornado touchdown in my storm, so I win.

158
00:08:25,879 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, But that's as far as you know, like like

159
00:08:29,079 --> 00:08:31,040
it was just like naar, you you know, like we

160
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,720
had the trees actually go down.

161
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,159
Speaker 2: We had trees. It was implied that trees were going

162
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:42,320
down there. Yeah, we had trees. They fell. Yeah mine,

163
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:44,320
well not mine, thankfully, because I am worried about that,

164
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,679
because I do have like this giant tree behind me

165
00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:49,559
that I've been trying to get rid of the tree.

166
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,919
People just keep ghosting me. I don't know what's I

167
00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:55,159
don't know if there's something wrong with me and what.

168
00:08:55,639 --> 00:08:57,519
I get them to come here and look at it

169
00:08:57,639 --> 00:09:00,000
and we shake hands, and I just can't get them

170
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,879
to come and take the fucking tree down, and I

171
00:09:01,919 --> 00:09:04,039
don't know what's going on. That's bullshit.

172
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: Uh, that's absolute bullshit, son, because there's like these guys

173
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,320
are so horny to rip trees out of the ground

174
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,600
when you call it, Like the guy I call, he's like,

175
00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:18,840
when can I come? He's like, it's got to come down.

176
00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:21,399
I'm like, you didn't even see it yet. We're gonna

177
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,759
take go down all the trees in your ard?

178
00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 2: Done?

179
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, So all right, you got to just call someone else.

180
00:09:27,799 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 2: You gotta I'm on the second guy already, and it's like, great,

181
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,360
get a third guy involved. Meanwhile, the storm is gonna

182
00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:37,559
come take me out at some point, you know what,

183
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:38,840
you know what it is, you know what? I worry

184
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,159
about these fucking games, right right, that's all my entire

185
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:47,519
game No, my entire game collection is gonna get crushed

186
00:09:47,799 --> 00:09:50,600
by this fucking maple tree at some point. I'm then

187
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,720
I'm gonna have nothing left. They're gonna become funny.

188
00:09:52,879 --> 00:09:55,639
Speaker 5: It's all yellow label games.

189
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,399
Speaker 4: Maybe this is stupid, but like whenever we have one

190
00:09:59,399 --> 00:10:02,039
of those storms. Ever since I've been a homeowner, there

191
00:10:02,039 --> 00:10:03,759
have been, you know, trees around my house and stuff.

192
00:10:03,799 --> 00:10:06,240
I hope that trees will just crash through my house

193
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,240
because isn't it like you get like big insurance checks, right.

194
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: You might die, so the insurance just covers the damage.

195
00:10:16,799 --> 00:10:17,279
You don't like?

196
00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, but money, you know, like a little next time

197
00:10:22,159 --> 00:10:23,480
and you pocket the rest, you know.

198
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,519
Speaker 2: So you want to scam the insurance company.

199
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 4: Not samn, Just they give me the money and then

200
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,399
it's my money to do what I want with.

201
00:10:29,759 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: The dude won't light a grill, but he's like, I

202
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,960
can't wait for the next tree to find.

203
00:10:34,519 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 3: I do think I could be cool if you just

204
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:37,080
tell I.

205
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,039
Speaker 2: Want you to know how I disagree. I disagree.

206
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: I think it's because I know people who it's happened

207
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,000
to and it totally died no, no pun intended their

208
00:10:46,039 --> 00:10:47,440
lives for many, many months.

209
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to move somewhere.

210
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:52,039
Speaker 3: I find a place to go to. Yeah, we'll get

211
00:10:52,039 --> 00:10:53,559
the insurance pay for it, so.

212
00:10:53,639 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: You you can die, you could.

213
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 4: I don't want the version of the story where I die.

214
00:10:58,799 --> 00:10:59,960
I want it where I just get a bunch of mine.

215
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

216
00:11:00,879 --> 00:11:03,039
Speaker 1: I just want to get shot, but not die.

217
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 3: Get a bunch of money.

218
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 2: I'll get shot, but like you won't you hang on?

219
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,080
You do? You have to use the money to fix

220
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,639
your house? What are you talking about? I will, but

221
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,799
maybe they're all getting a good deal and I'll have some.

222
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,879
Let not how it works, well, not how that's how.

223
00:11:18,799 --> 00:11:20,759
Speaker 3: I would learn that it doesn't work.

224
00:11:21,039 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: It sounds really you'll really take that lesson. I want

225
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,759
you to know how painful it was to have to

226
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,840
listen to that story about you running in a dangerous

227
00:11:29,919 --> 00:11:32,519
lightning storm and then watch a video where you were

228
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,240
terrified of a hot dog cooking over an open flame.

229
00:11:36,879 --> 00:11:40,919
Speaker 4: Again, not afraid of death, afraid of pain your projected

230
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:50,039
all this, No, not always well, probably would probably would die,

231
00:11:50,159 --> 00:11:53,919
I think that. Yeah, yeah, you know it's just dying.

232
00:11:53,919 --> 00:11:54,919
He's not scary getting hurt.

233
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 3: It's scary.

234
00:11:56,279 --> 00:12:00,279
Speaker 1: Oh oh, we were talking about stuff and we were

235
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,240
having a conversation.

236
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,759
Speaker 5: I want on the record, Dan could not get shot.

237
00:12:03,879 --> 00:12:06,240
He would not. No, there's not a chance in hell.

238
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,080
For my money, you would not shot.

239
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 4: I would make sure the terms were good enough, like

240
00:12:11,879 --> 00:12:17,200
the location. I mean, yeah, like shooting like the tip

241
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,360
of my pinky for like five million dollars.

242
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 3: Yes, I would take that deal.

243
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,639
Speaker 2: Okay, the meaty thigh, yeah, probably pretty soft.

244
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 5: He wouldn't die from it.

245
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: You see right? Yeah?

246
00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: Can I pivot with a baseball dad story? Yes, just

247
00:12:33,639 --> 00:12:35,919
like going to all good dads, I'll let you win

248
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:36,399
this one.

249
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 2: Go forward, Mikey, because before the tornado was at my

250
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,360
nephew's baseball game. He's like eight. It's you know, first

251
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,679
year kid pitch. You know some massacre is like sixteen

252
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,080
to one, right, But at one point, like someone on

253
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,519
our team got a hit. And again like first year,

254
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,639
these kids are pitching, they're eight. This ball line drives

255
00:12:54,639 --> 00:12:57,600
the pitcher in the leg, right, so he's down because

256
00:12:57,639 --> 00:12:59,519
you know it hurts. The kid gets the first base.

257
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,080
It's a hit, but you know they make all the

258
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,639
little kids take a knee. It's like, dad, everyone's being

259
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,159
real quiet. Can you hear the kid who got the hit?

260
00:13:06,399 --> 00:13:08,840
You just hear his grandpa and the sea of silence

261
00:13:08,879 --> 00:13:13,480
go like, eh, good, any actually get to don't worry

262
00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:17,039
and that that guy's son slash. The kid's father's in

263
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,120
front of me and looks over to his dad. He's

264
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,960
like though, the anger in his eyes, the embarrassment I

265
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,200
could see on him, it took me everything. I had

266
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:31,240
to just not start laughing out loud. She's dad, what

267
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,960
oh oh, it was funny.

268
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: I would just watch an entire show of you in

269
00:13:37,759 --> 00:13:39,200
those types of situations. Mike.

270
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie like a reverse curb your enthusiasm

271
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,639
where I just take delight in like other people's awkward situations.

272
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,480
But I'm fine.

273
00:13:47,799 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: I kind of dig that in a big way. Hell yeah,

274
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:56,720
oh man, hey, uh, folks, any other stories to share before.

275
00:13:56,399 --> 00:13:56,879
Speaker 2: We move on.

276
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,639
Speaker 4: I'll just say I saw Bob Dylan in concert last night,

277
00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:02,360
And have you ever been to a concert where every

278
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,000
lyric sounds like a death rattle?

279
00:14:06,919 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: I mean, that's been Bob Dylan concerts for quite a while.

280
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 4: I saw him in like two thousand and seven in

281
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,639
two thousand and eight, and I was like, man, this

282
00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:15,879
guy is very old and unintelligible, and.

283
00:14:15,799 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 3: It's like it's just so interesting.

284
00:14:17,519 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 4: It's like this new nineteen thousand person amphitheater and we're

285
00:14:21,039 --> 00:14:23,000
all just kind of sitting there and we're all just

286
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,159
everyone I think is in the same boat. Where it's like, boy,

287
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,360
it's nice to see a legend. Yeah, it's like, yeah,

288
00:14:29,039 --> 00:14:32,840
where is Like it's weird because like his band is good.

289
00:14:32,919 --> 00:14:36,440
They're all like good musicians obviously, but he just kind

290
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,039
of does the songs however the hell he wants to

291
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,279
do it that night, so they just kind of have

292
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,879
to keep up and like they're incredibly talented, so you'll

293
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,720
kind of get into one of the songs for a second,

294
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,240
and then all of a sudden it was yeah.

295
00:14:48,519 --> 00:14:48,799
Speaker 5: It's like.

296
00:14:51,159 --> 00:14:56,559
Speaker 2: He doesn't Adam Sandler in the middle of It's okay.

297
00:14:56,159 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 3: Great, glad he's still with us, you.

298
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, would had been preferable. He just kind of

299
00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:04,080
like came out and waved for a bit and then

300
00:15:04,279 --> 00:15:05,279
left and you went home.

301
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 4: It's so you don't even feel like you see he

302
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,320
just wears hoodies now and he stands behind He just

303
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,279
decided he's a piano player now after like all these

304
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,080
years of like mainly guitar, and it comes out just

305
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,320
a hoodie and he just stands behind a piano and

306
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,480
like the openers they have, you know, all these screens

307
00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:22,240
and close ups and everything like that, they clearly told

308
00:15:22,279 --> 00:15:24,039
the venue like, do not show any close ups to

309
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:24,559
Bob Dylan.

310
00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 3: So on the screens it is just.

311
00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 4: Like this tiny little thing behind a piano in a hoodie,

312
00:15:30,159 --> 00:15:32,799
and it's like there's you don't even see a face,

313
00:15:32,879 --> 00:15:34,679
much less be able to villain's face.

314
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,759
Speaker 2: And eventually he's gonna switch that electric piano and sell

315
00:15:37,799 --> 00:15:43,240
out right right thing. Yeah, yeah, I'm glad.

316
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 3: I'm glad he's still around.

317
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: So so did you win these tickets?

318
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: How did it go? Now?

319
00:15:49,519 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 4: Was just with my buddy Matt alguson an ex game

320
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,679
in former. If anyone remembers him, he's great, and he

321
00:15:54,799 --> 00:15:57,279
was like we both loved Dylan, and it's like, ah,

322
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,200
he's like eighty five, you know, this might be the

323
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,279
last chance theater open.

324
00:16:02,679 --> 00:16:06,759
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, so let's just go. You know, when you

325
00:16:06,759 --> 00:16:08,639
go to a concert and you're kind of prevailing thought

326
00:16:08,679 --> 00:16:11,360
as well. At least he had fun. Oh I don't

327
00:16:11,399 --> 00:16:14,279
know if he was having fun. I don't know he's

328
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:14,840
doing anything.

329
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 3: At least he was conscious.

330
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,159
Speaker 1: Frankly, Yeah, well I went and saw a relic too

331
00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:21,879
this weekend.

332
00:16:22,679 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

333
00:16:23,279 --> 00:16:24,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.

334
00:16:24,879 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: I did the thing that in a million years I

335
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,200
would never choose to do. But I guess I'm not

336
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,559
upset that I went and did it. I had not

337
00:16:32,679 --> 00:16:35,759
done it in about twenty seven years. We had friends

338
00:16:35,879 --> 00:16:39,000
visiting up from Maryland and they got it in their

339
00:16:39,039 --> 00:16:43,679
head that they wanted to go see the Statue of Living.

340
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:49,559
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I didn't take a bong rip.

341
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: That's not what I was talking.

342
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 5: I was thinking. But Dibbs eleven, isn't he like?

343
00:16:53,159 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 2: How is it twenty? So?

344
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:54,879
Speaker 5: Okay, go on?

345
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I the last time I was there was

346
00:16:58,519 --> 00:16:59,399
was ninety nine.

347
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: I did the math and uh.

348
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: Yeah that's that's Uh, that's a place to go to.

349
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,759
We did Ellis Island as well.

350
00:17:09,039 --> 00:17:09,799
Speaker 2: Just so you all know.

351
00:17:10,039 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: I want everyone else to also know this, because our

352
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,160
friends from Maryland were floored when they found out the truth,

353
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,039
the deep, dark truth about the Statue of Liberty, about

354
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,920
Liberty Island and Ellis Island. Do you know what that

355
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:25,680
dark secret is?

356
00:17:29,079 --> 00:17:32,279
Speaker 2: That's not it that is. That is a thing.

357
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,759
Speaker 1: It wasn't It was like a penny and then like

358
00:17:34,799 --> 00:17:36,480
a couple months later it just went green.

359
00:17:37,279 --> 00:17:38,839
Speaker 2: Uh no, the deep.

360
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: Yes, Ferguson has it right in chat. It's in New Jersey.

361
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,680
The whole shebang is in New Jersey.

362
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:46,839
Speaker 2: Freedom in New Jersey.

363
00:17:47,559 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: There is now we change the rules. Okay, it is

364
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,960
that part of it is in New Jersey. It's right there,

365
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,559
of course it is. If you go there, you you

366
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,160
assume that, like because you could see Manhattan, of course,

367
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,279
because you're in like the New York Bay sort of

368
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,480
area and like, but very much on the Jersey side.

369
00:18:10,319 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 2: So that was interesting.

370
00:18:12,319 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 5: Is it is it like is this one of those

371
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,759
like legal boundary things because like for example, here in Wisconsin,

372
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,160
lambeau Field is in Green Bay because the city of

373
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,200
Green Bay bought the border around lambeau Field, so that

374
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,240
would be part of here instead of the neighboring town.

375
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,559
But it is illegally part of New York or whatever.

376
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:34,920
Is it actually New Jersey?

377
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,279
Speaker 2: It's actually New Jersey? Okay, yeah, gotcha, yeah, man, I'm

378
00:18:38,279 --> 00:18:40,240
looking at this thing. Is yeah, well in that New

379
00:18:40,319 --> 00:18:44,079
Jersey side of the line there, that's crazy.

380
00:18:44,599 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 1: Everyone who lives in New Jersey and grows up in

381
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,000
New Jersey is aware of this little, deep dark secret.

382
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,920
We just don't go around telling everyone until they have.

383
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,519
Speaker 2: A podcast at their hosting. Sure.

384
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,839
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, it's pretty it's it's you know, it's really interesting. Surprisingly,

385
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,039
you would think on July fifth, the Saturate might be

386
00:19:01,039 --> 00:19:04,480
a little crowded, especially with the World Cup taking place, uh,

387
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,559
you know, a couple of miles away. But it was

388
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,799
completely manageable. I was pretty surprised. Like the whole thing

389
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,440
was uh, was was pretty easy to do. You got

390
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,599
to take a ferry and sort of island hop to

391
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,000
each one because Ellis Island and the and Liberty Island

392
00:19:18,039 --> 00:19:22,759
are two separate places, really wild, and I think I

393
00:19:22,759 --> 00:19:23,559
think we can all do.

394
00:19:23,839 --> 00:19:25,599
Speaker 2: Uh, I think we could all do for a little

395
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,559
bit of education going to those places.

396
00:19:28,599 --> 00:19:32,759
Speaker 1: Understanding the messages that are very very clear, written in

397
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,160
black and white, and the energy that kind of flows

398
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,519
through the halls of Ellis Island, and the sort of

399
00:19:39,519 --> 00:19:42,000
exhibits you can read and see with your own two

400
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,960
stupid fucking eyes and not something that someone told you

401
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,880
on the internet. Uh yeah, go there if you can,

402
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,720
if you have the means check it out.

403
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,759
Speaker 2: Just don't just the food court there. I thought it

404
00:19:52,839 --> 00:19:56,400
was bad. Just don't. Okay, now wait a second, because

405
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,039
that now I'm looking at this map and there is

406
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,680
like a line around this I want with the Statue

407
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,119
of Liberty and with Ellis Island in the started line.

408
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,599
Outside of ls Island it says New Jersey. Inside of

409
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:16,359
it it says New York. Really don't cities are petty.

410
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,200
The state lines, it's very The state line is a

411
00:20:20,279 --> 00:20:23,160
very clear line. It goes down the Hudson River right,

412
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,359
it makes a little angle towards back into New Jersey.

413
00:20:26,519 --> 00:20:30,119
I think, if you're really map studying, the wildest part

414
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,839
of New York City geography.

415
00:20:32,799 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: Is that Staten Island is in New York. Staten Island

416
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,799
is south of everything. It's south of Manhattan, it's southwest

417
00:20:40,839 --> 00:20:44,400
of Manhattan. It's south of Bayonne and Poboken, in Jersey

418
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,640
City and all these other places. That's the weird thing. Now,

419
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,559
I will speak on behalf of everyone in New Jersey

420
00:20:50,839 --> 00:20:54,200
to say that we do not want State ny. New

421
00:20:54,279 --> 00:20:57,279
York can have Staten Island. It's just a bunch of

422
00:20:57,319 --> 00:21:00,119
garbage landfills. Sure, we don't want it.

423
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 4: So yeah, I draw the maps. Don't yell at me.

424
00:21:03,599 --> 00:21:05,440
Mike is right, though I'm looking at it. It does

425
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,559
clearly say it's New York. And if you look at

426
00:21:07,599 --> 00:21:11,200
the address, it's New York one O four, Like it

427
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,960
does appear that the statue is in New York.

428
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: Technically now New York very spitefully stole it from you

429
00:21:18,559 --> 00:21:21,279
and into your land. It was like, this is this

430
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,440
is too important for you. You're not gonna do the

431
00:21:24,519 --> 00:21:26,720
tappan Z Bridge all over again.

432
00:21:26,839 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: Okay, we're not going to do this. Okay, it is

433
00:21:29,319 --> 00:21:33,240
very clearly in New Jersey. It's not up for debate.

434
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,599
It's just fucking We'll let you have it, thank you.

435
00:21:37,759 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 2: It's like everyone.

436
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,839
Speaker 1: Necessarily want it, but I'll take it.

437
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 4: Everyone's always very confused too, about the Kansas City situation

438
00:21:44,519 --> 00:21:47,480
about because Kansas City is in Missouri. Well, there is

439
00:21:47,519 --> 00:21:49,839
a kansaity Kansas, but everything anyone has ever heard of

440
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,000
is on the Missouri side.

441
00:21:52,039 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 5: That is weird.

442
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, like the downtown, the sports teams, although I think

443
00:21:55,839 --> 00:21:58,079
Arrowhead or the Chiefs or the Royals are moving to

444
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,759
the Kansas side at some point, but historically, anything you've

445
00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:02,039
ever heard of is on the Missouri side.

446
00:22:02,039 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 3: Of Kansas City.

447
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 2: Interesting. Interesting.

448
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: You know, they kind of did this shit with the

449
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,880
MetLife Stadium as well. And if you're watching the World

450
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,519
Cup every time they have a game in MetLife Stadium,

451
00:22:13,559 --> 00:22:16,960
which is like so far into New Jersey, it's insane,

452
00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:21,519
they're like, oh, it's New York, New Jersey Stadium where

453
00:22:21,519 --> 00:22:24,160
the New York Jets and the New York Giants also play.

454
00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:28,200
I don't have I don't have an explanation for it.

455
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:34,000
It's okay, it's fine, Uh, folks, We're gonna we're gonna

456
00:22:34,279 --> 00:22:36,400
move things along a little bit, and we're gonna talk

457
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,000
to you a little bit about what we got going

458
00:22:38,039 --> 00:22:42,440
on with Giant Bomb Premium. That's right, you've not thought

459
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,200
about it all episode, and now we're gonna talk about

460
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:50,200
it because right now we have new premium content popping

461
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,920
off so hard your eyes are gonna roll back into

462
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,000
the back of your head, and somehow you're still gonna

463
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,119
be able to watch. This is the run sewer Shark.

464
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,960
Mikey tell us about sewer Shark. What's happened?

465
00:23:00,319 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 2: Sewer Shark is a Sega CD fool bullshit video video game.

466
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,200
That's right. It's the word videos in there, so many times.

467
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,920
It's this weird thing where I'm in tunnels shooting rats

468
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,559
for food and I'm trying to get to margaritavills like

469
00:23:15,599 --> 00:23:19,720
in party and a robot tells me what directions to go. Uh,

470
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,720
it's it's it's it's a very stupid game that I love.

471
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,240
Uh and you get you get one life that you

472
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,880
got to go back. So do we get a wet

473
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,519
rud It's going to be difficult, but we are working

474
00:23:33,759 --> 00:23:36,480
on it. We're just having a great time doing it.

475
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,279
Speaker 4: Mikey's the only one who could do this because there's

476
00:23:40,279 --> 00:23:43,039
a lot of memorization needed in me and Grub It's like, nope,

477
00:23:43,079 --> 00:23:43,680
this is captain.

478
00:23:44,599 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, no way, I don't use game as a kid.

479
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,039
No chance in hill.

480
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: So I actually have an interesting relationship with sewer Shark

481
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,480
where I just have like a lot of that FMV

482
00:23:53,599 --> 00:23:56,359
stuff stuck in my head from uh Sega CD days

483
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,359
and just like what that all, you know, the night

484
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:00,759
Trap and and all that stuff.

485
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,319

the week. If you don't know tech Tech Legion, we'll

502
00:24:59,000 --> 00:24:59,440
talk about it.

503
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,799
Speaker 3: Mike and I are both playing it. It is excellent.

504
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,839
Speaker 2: It's a Vampire Survivors like but you are in a

505
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,319
kind of cool car and when you level up, you

506
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,200
get parts for that car and you got to place

507
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,240
the parts and the turrets on the car. It's a

508
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,000
really super super fun, super cool.

509
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, with that said, let us move into the

510
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:21,720
game's action.

511
00:25:21,839 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 2: Folks will be playing here Premium Joint Premium, get your

512
00:25:25,279 --> 00:25:29,839
tenors and pepiece in Giant on Premium. Did you say

513
00:25:30,319 --> 00:25:35,000
you said titters, I'll choke the chicken. This is run right.

514
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: I just kind of wish you don't say that in

515
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:37,640
the room.

516
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,039
Speaker 2: It's fine. I love it. I love you.

517
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,039
Speaker 4: He likes saying dirty things. He likes saying dirty things

518
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:43,400
and then he smiles musy things.

519
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:44,759
Speaker 3: He got away with it. Likes a little stinker.

520
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: I know, smile you do have little stinker energy, more

521
00:25:48,279 --> 00:25:49,480
so than anyone I've ever met.

522
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 4: Cleveland Streamer, No Steamer, the Bog Slammer streamer.

523
00:25:57,759 --> 00:26:00,279
Speaker 1: Speaking of Tara Tech Legion, Mike Dan, you've been playing that?

524
00:26:00,839 --> 00:26:01,079
Speaker 6: Yeah?

525
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 4: That being kicks ass And I was doing a bunch

526
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,480
of flights over the weekend, and it is an excellent

527
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,519
Steam deck game. I've been playing it on the deck

528
00:26:08,559 --> 00:26:10,480
on the machine. That's the main thing I've been playing.

529
00:26:11,079 --> 00:26:14,000
Unlocked all the others. There's four different characters you can get,

530
00:26:14,039 --> 00:26:16,279
all with their own kind of like challenge lists and everything.

531
00:26:16,319 --> 00:26:17,720
And I'm just looking at all this and I'm like,

532
00:26:17,759 --> 00:26:19,880
I'm absolutely going to keep playing this until I do

533
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,039
every challenge. It's the exact same way I felt about

534
00:26:22,079 --> 00:26:24,759
Vampire Survivors, where it's like, give me any excuse to

535
00:26:24,839 --> 00:26:26,480
keep playing runs, and I'm going to do it so

536
00:26:26,519 --> 00:26:28,519
like I filled out that entire achievement of some Vampire

537
00:26:28,559 --> 00:26:31,920
survivors doing the same thing. Here the fourth character, Mike,

538
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,599
I don't know if you've unlocked the fourth character yet,

539
00:26:33,599 --> 00:26:36,160
but that one's really fun and different, and that unlocks

540
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:37,759
a bunch of extra blocks that you can add to

541
00:26:37,799 --> 00:26:40,000
your other ships when you're playing is them. It is

542
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,119
just it's it's just a tremendous experience. It's a you know,

543
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,480
it's a cliche, but the like, oh, one more run

544
00:26:45,559 --> 00:26:47,400
and then it turns into four hours or whatever.

545
00:26:47,559 --> 00:26:48,599
Speaker 3: Like I'm just loving it.

546
00:26:48,839 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you talked about this last week and I

547
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,039
was intrigued, and I know, you know you compare it

548
00:26:54,079 --> 00:26:57,039
to bitche Kazuoie's of Bolts, and it is the ship

549
00:26:57,079 --> 00:26:59,720
books up is also like the gummy ship editor in

550
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:06,400
Dumb Part Mikes mic is muted. I think I'm like, oh, okay, now, look,

551
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,359
they gotta be ship parts of Kingdom Hearts are sometimes

552
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,400
not amazing, but here, you know the way you actually

553
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,599
have to worry about that stuff. It's fun because you know,

554
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,119
some some weapons just gonna shoot straight ahead. So weapons

555
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,680
are like three sixty degree angles, so you maybe want

556
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,160
to kind of put them higher up so that they

557
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,759
aren't exstructed by something. So you're making a lot of

558
00:27:24,799 --> 00:27:27,240
good this is there. Like other blocks are like, hey,

559
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,119
here's a block where uh, you know, ten percent more damage.

560
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:32,720
So if you put a weapon on this block, it'll

561
00:27:32,759 --> 00:27:34,640
you know, dams will increase. But where you gonna put

562
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,920
this block? And by the end of the run, your

563
00:27:37,279 --> 00:27:40,960
truck is just this monstrosity of like you know, twenty

564
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,480
wheels and fifteen guns and five thrusters and like maybe

565
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,880
there's like tank treads on it and all this stuff,

566
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,759
and it just the progression feels super super satisfying.

567
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 3: And it just left you get really stupid with it.

568
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 4: Like there's a bunch of like blocks you can get

569
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,519
that are just platforms basically for other guns and stuff.

570
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,279
I will inevitably just get a bunch of giant blocks

571
00:28:02,279 --> 00:28:04,160
and just add to the sides in front and back,

572
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,119
or I'll make like a huge tower for like a

573
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,559
flat han and stuff. So it just looks insane by

574
00:28:08,559 --> 00:28:10,000
the end, Like I'm just like laughing at like this

575
00:28:10,039 --> 00:28:13,440
insane construction. Yeah again with like forty wheels or something

576
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,119
like that. But it works like, and I'm glad it doesn't.

577
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,920
Ever it's not too finicky with like you can put

578
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,079
wheels and fucked up places like oh this wheels below

579
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,079
the rest of the craft or whatever, and everything still

580
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,039
just kind of drives like the physics spell get a

581
00:28:26,039 --> 00:28:29,000
little altered and stuff, but like it's never like, oh,

582
00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:31,000
you know, you broke this, This isn't going to drive

583
00:28:31,079 --> 00:28:33,440
right like it's it's fun above all else with this.

584
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say I just finish like a run

585
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,440
on each of the planets. I killed the bus and

586
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,160
now I can do like the Herder version of each one.

587
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,759
I am a little stuck just playing as that first

588
00:28:44,799 --> 00:28:48,559
character still, because unless I'm missing the progression like oh

589
00:28:48,559 --> 00:28:50,839
you know you're getting these resources you can upgrade that

590
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,440
is per character, it's not an overall thing. So part

591
00:28:53,599 --> 00:28:54,920
is like I don't want to start over and be

592
00:28:55,039 --> 00:28:57,720
weak again with this with this brand new character. But

593
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,200
I mean they're different and I should try to yeah,

594
00:29:00,359 --> 00:29:02,480
afraid of trying them. Yeah yeah.

595
00:29:02,519 --> 00:29:04,039
Speaker 4: The first one is good for just kind of like

596
00:29:04,079 --> 00:29:05,960
standard stuff. The second one I usually use for like

597
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,319
impact like driving into things while my car is covered

598
00:29:08,319 --> 00:29:10,079
in spikes. The third one I do a lot of

599
00:29:10,119 --> 00:29:12,359
like marksmen precision things, and then the fourth one you

600
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,519
can get really weird with like drones and energy weapons

601
00:29:14,559 --> 00:29:14,960
and stuff.

602
00:29:15,079 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's cool.

603
00:29:16,559 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, just uh yeah, maybe maybe my favorite of these

604
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,680
Vampire Survivors likes right, And I like Vampire Survivors, maybe

605
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,000
not quite as much as like you or Grubb did,

606
00:29:26,319 --> 00:29:27,960
so I'm like, this is fine. I would like like

607
00:29:28,079 --> 00:29:31,079
a little bit more, a little bit something, and this

608
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,519
whole kind of building your car element to it that

609
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,920
is that is more than a little bit something, So

610
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,720
that just really drives up my interest.

611
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,039
Speaker 4: It's without a doubt my favorite one of these sense

612
00:29:41,119 --> 00:29:43,039
Vampire Survivors, and I would put it kind of in

613
00:29:43,079 --> 00:29:45,759
the same conversation of like quality cool.

614
00:29:45,759 --> 00:29:52,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, agreed, just think like a weird spot here. I

615
00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:56,240
didn't know anything about this game until we uh partnered

616
00:29:56,319 --> 00:29:59,440
up and giving away codes and then I'm like, well,

617
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,440
this looks really good and I guess I want to

618
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,400
play this now, and I'm sort of just like locked

619
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,680
out of it in a weird way, and I'm just like,

620
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,240
you know, I'm just gonna have to buy for job.

621
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 2: Do it. Just do it.

622
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 3: It's like eight dollars right now or something.

623
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 2: Totally code. Yeah, yeah, that's right, I mean right now too. Yeah,

624
00:30:20,279 --> 00:30:21,759
but before you get the code through us and also

625
00:30:21,839 --> 00:30:23,039
join Giant Bond Premium but.

626
00:30:25,039 --> 00:30:25,319
Speaker 3: Fail.

627
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

628
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,119
Speaker 1: Food on family though, uh and thank you so much

629
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,279
to our pals over at uh Mith rayload there and

630
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:39,839
myth right right for sure? Okay, moving along, Rhythm Heaven

631
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,759
Groove is officially out and the two most coordinated people

632
00:30:44,839 --> 00:30:47,079
I know have been playing it, Mike and then.

633
00:30:47,519 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 3: I wonder which one of us has more rhythm.

634
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 2: I do definitely remember that you you complain that you

635
00:30:55,039 --> 00:30:59,160
have none. Yeah, you talk about this a lot like Dan.

636
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:00,799
Speaker 3: I think of rhythm. I think of dancing.

637
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,119
Speaker 2: I could dance, but I'm good at rhythm games. Remember

638
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,160
remember way back when we had our k pit and

639
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:07,720
you try to get me by having me play that

640
00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:10,000
weird mini game and back to the future where he

641
00:31:10,039 --> 00:31:14,240
was doing Johnny Be Good and I was vague pent it.

642
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, you just like you've described Mike as the most

643
00:31:18,039 --> 00:31:20,079
musical person. You know, music is rhythm.

644
00:31:20,319 --> 00:31:24,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, rhythm is dancing though like entertainer.

645
00:31:24,839 --> 00:31:27,319
Speaker 1: I mean, he can sing, he can dance, he can

646
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:28,000
do whatever.

647
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:29,319
Speaker 2: I mean, I can sing.

648
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,759
Speaker 3: I knew he was going to do that.

649
00:31:34,039 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 5: I think this is why Dan has no rhythm. He

650
00:31:36,039 --> 00:31:39,039
doesn't realize that everything is rhythm. I think that's the problem.

651
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 2: It's a It's like we found out Punchhot was rhythm, remember,

652
00:31:42,319 --> 00:31:49,160
and you were like, how's your rhythm? How's your rhythm working?

653
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:49,960
In rhythm Heaven?

654
00:31:50,079 --> 00:31:54,119
Speaker 4: Dan, I'm fucking terrible with this game. I think it's

655
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:55,680
got a lot of personality.

656
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 3: I like it.

657
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 4: It's just very warrior ware in its presentation, which I

658
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,400
really appreciate in the humor really gets me. But it's

659
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:02,799
I I can't remem if I said it on here,

660
00:32:02,839 --> 00:32:04,240
but like, yeah, I was supposed to review the Rhythm

661
00:32:04,319 --> 00:32:06,519
having game for we back a Game Informer and I

662
00:32:06,519 --> 00:32:08,640
got to the level with the monkey clock and it

663
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,200
was just like, I literally cannot do this, Like on

664
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,880
the standard difficulty, I can I get passes.

665
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 3: And I remember trying to get out of the review

666
00:32:14,279 --> 00:32:16,640
being like, use itself.

667
00:32:16,839 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 4: I cannot fucking do this. I need to step away

668
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,920
from this review. And I think I was forced to

669
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,559
continue with that review, and I think I gave it

670
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:23,680
like a seven or something like that.

671
00:32:24,559 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm fucking terrible at it.

672
00:32:27,039 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: This man must recused himself from this review. He has

673
00:32:30,039 --> 00:32:30,559
no rhythm.

674
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:35,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it makes sense. Uh, I've been enjoying it,

675
00:32:36,279 --> 00:32:39,240
you know, I've liked the rhythm having games before. I

676
00:32:39,279 --> 00:32:41,559
think I mostly played the DS one or the three

677
00:32:41,599 --> 00:32:44,440
DES one. Yeah, it's funnycause it's simple, but it is

678
00:32:44,519 --> 00:32:46,839
just basically like, here's a bunch of visual cues and

679
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,480
sound cues to tell you when to push a button. Yeah,

680
00:32:49,519 --> 00:32:51,519
and you're just going to learn that. But there's something

681
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,039
really satisfying about it. And they always come up with

682
00:32:54,079 --> 00:32:58,480
these fun scenarios like, oh, you're gonna throw your dog

683
00:32:58,519 --> 00:33:00,279
and a frisbee's going getting thrown at you, and you

684
00:33:00,359 --> 00:33:02,440
kind of have to learn to count to seven on

685
00:33:02,519 --> 00:33:05,039
the beat and that's when you're going to jump or

686
00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:08,240
your your car, and you got to listen to like

687
00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:10,079
you know, when you're going to break or when you're

688
00:33:10,119 --> 00:33:12,640
gonna zoom forward, and you're kind of information so you

689
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,599
could mess up. So yeah, it's all just really charming

690
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,559
and fun. And then the best part is like when

691
00:33:17,559 --> 00:33:20,039
you do like four of these kind of games and

692
00:33:20,039 --> 00:33:22,240
then there's the remix where it takes like all four

693
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,160
of the last ones and now you're doing all four

694
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,599
of those games and kind of one sequence, so you

695
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,960
will be the car for a moment, and then you

696
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,920
will dump back to suddenly being a frog jumping on

697
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,200
lily pads, and then go to some other thing. And

698
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:38,799
that's where it really really works. There's some it's weird

699
00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:42,039
because they get very Warriorware now. I think Grub talked

700
00:33:42,079 --> 00:33:44,319
about this too, Like Warrio Wear is very ugly sometimes

701
00:33:44,359 --> 00:33:48,160
and it's funny because it's Warriorware in a funny way.

702
00:33:48,319 --> 00:33:52,960
It's like in the red and stimpy gross ups, and

703
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,400
like sometimes in this game, it's like, now, are these

704
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,920
visuals in this game? Is this just kind of ugly

705
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,079
and maybe too simple? Is that charming or is it

706
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,240
kind of just sort of seem a little lame charming?

707
00:34:04,359 --> 00:34:04,759
Speaker 3: I like it.

708
00:34:04,799 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 4: I can't say that there's any many games of like, oh,

709
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,920
I don't like the look of this. I think that's

710
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,400
one of the stronger elements of the game.

711
00:34:10,599 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 5: I think I never because I love Warrio Ware. I

712
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,519
love that series. I just never gotten to Rhythm Heaven

713
00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:19,800
despite being a big like rhythm game person. I love

714
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,920
music games, rhythm games, everything like that. I just never

715
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,559
gotten to Rhythm Heaven. I think it's because you know,

716
00:34:25,599 --> 00:34:27,880
when they were first showing off in like magazines and

717
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,239
stuff and like screenshots online. Yeah, I don't think it

718
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,239
shows well as a still image because you look at

719
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,920
it looks a little like sterile. But then you see

720
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:38,760
it in motion, it's like, oh, the charm is like

721
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,360
how it animates and earything like that. So I do

722
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,159
want to go and try this one, because Yeah, the

723
00:34:43,159 --> 00:34:45,199
way you guys talk about the way that Reb talks

724
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:46,880
about it seems like it would be up my alley.

725
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,760
It seems like someone's pretty good. Even if, like Greb

726
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,880
said in his review of like the presentations a little lacking,

727
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,599
sometimes it seems like this is a really good one

728
00:34:54,599 --> 00:34:54,840
of those.

729
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just not always entirely clear, especially in the

730
00:34:58,559 --> 00:35:02,480
outset of like where the cues are, like, there's cues,

731
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,440
but they're not always right just because they are organic beats.

732
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,679
They're not always like the moment you need to be

733
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,599
hitting the button, and you just have to kind of

734
00:35:10,639 --> 00:35:13,719
like merge into the language that it's sort of speaking.

735
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 2: And it'll do things like oh, now suddenly your views

736
00:35:16,519 --> 00:35:18,559
block you can't see what's happening, or oh, we're gonna

737
00:35:18,559 --> 00:35:20,360
just like double the speed, and you kind of just

738
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,760
have to you know, know what you know, to be

739
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:23,800
able to still hit that button.

740
00:35:24,639 --> 00:35:29,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's so many party game stuff that I still

741
00:35:29,519 --> 00:35:33,280
think is like super strong. How do you guys find

742
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:37,800
the sort of like Adventury mode with the battling, you know,

743
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:38,119
the RP.

744
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 5: It's clever.

745
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,159
Speaker 4: It's a clever minigame. That's one thing I do love

746
00:35:41,199 --> 00:35:43,119
about these games and Warrior where is like the amount

747
00:35:43,199 --> 00:35:45,559
of just kind of toys they always unlock or it's

748
00:35:45,559 --> 00:35:47,679
like it's or side modes, like this is more of

749
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,719
an actual full side mode, And yeah, I think it's cool.

750
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,800
I think just having to like tie attacks to different

751
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,679
rhythm patterns and stuff like it works.

752
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 2: I haven't tried that yet. I kind of want to

753
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,159
get through like the normal game. The one thing I

754
00:36:01,159 --> 00:36:02,920
didn't like, and you know, you're able to turn it off,

755
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,840
but when you start, there's like, you know, the tutorial

756
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,199
character whatever, and it does that robot voice thing. Nintendo

757
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,079
loves that robot voice, and I think it's some games

758
00:36:12,119 --> 00:36:15,599
like in a Tomadacci that's that be funny. I think

759
00:36:15,599 --> 00:36:17,719
that he's it way too much. I'm like, just hire

760
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,239
a voice actor for this thing, and it like sounded

761
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,039
especially bad. I wasn't even pronouncing words right. And as

762
00:36:24,079 --> 00:36:25,760
soon as that Rob was like do you want me

763
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,119
to read no words out loud? I'm like, no, stop

764
00:36:29,199 --> 00:36:30,400
doing that please.

765
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,119
Speaker 1: It's not terrible, and it hits especially hard in this

766
00:36:34,159 --> 00:36:37,800
sort of like you know, hellscape of AI voices and

767
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,000
stuff like that, where I'm just like conditioned to just

768
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,880
despise any sort of like you won't believe what they're doing.

769
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,400
And it's like, no, you have to stop. To hire

770
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,280
Mike Manatti. Let Mike Manatti be the voice.

771
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 2: I'll be the voice. I'll tell people that they have

772
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,239
to push the A button on the fourth beat. It's fine.

773
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: Hire John Malkovich, let him do.

774
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,280
Speaker 2: It's not charming. It like I'll give you tomadacil like

775
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,599
for that. Now you get that's it an attend Otherwise,

776
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,760
enough with the robot voice. You have you have money,

777
00:37:07,159 --> 00:37:08,239
hire some voice actors.

778
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: We heard you have money. Yeah, yeah, we heard you

779
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:15,360
had money. Use uh chat, says Werner Hertzog. You could

780
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:19,639
use Sam Elliott Ellen. I like Helen Mirren for this.

781
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,559
Maybe I just think we need to like step outside

782
00:37:22,599 --> 00:37:25,960
of our conference zone a little bit with narration. Thank

783
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:31,000
you agreed? All right, let's see what else we got

784
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,239
here on the list, It says here that Mike, you've

785
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,840
been playing a brand new game called Elden Ring.

786
00:37:39,559 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 2: I am back in Elden Ring.

787
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 4: You know.

788
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,119
Speaker 2: I played this game when it came out, like everyone else,

789
00:37:45,519 --> 00:37:48,840
I loved it, and since then, in recent years, I

790
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,960
kind of gone back and played through all the other

791
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,320
Front Soft games, and I kind of know a good

792
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:57,360
deal more about this genre, about the franchise, and I've

793
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,599
been kind of hankering to go back to elden a Ring,

794
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,360
largely because when I did that first time, I was

795
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,960
using summons. I was using the you know, the the bell,

796
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,840
the spirit ashes and things like that, and that's fine.

797
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,079
It was fun to do it that way, and I'm like, oh,

798
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,280
now I'd like to try it without that stuff. Especially

799
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,079
some boss fights like Millennia, which is you know a

800
00:38:17,119 --> 00:38:19,360
lot of people that's like the boss fight in the game.

801
00:38:19,679 --> 00:38:22,800
I'm like, I didn't really even do that boss fight. Really.

802
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,320
I summoned two guys who did it, and I had

803
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,199
a chunky sword and shield thing that was no good

804
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,519
against her, So I just kind of ran away the

805
00:38:30,519 --> 00:38:31,000
whole time.

806
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,199
Speaker 4: That's every boss fight I've ever done in a Front game.

807
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,960
Until Secoros, like, maybe I should play these games for real.

808
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,880
They seem very good, right, It's.

809
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,159
Speaker 2: Really fun when you do it like that. So I'm like, Okay,

810
00:38:42,199 --> 00:38:44,079
this time, I'm not I'm not gonna do my big

811
00:38:44,159 --> 00:38:47,400
shield and like sword build, I'm gonna just DEXTERI I'm

812
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,719
gonna do a bleed build. I know it is supposed

813
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,840
to be good in the game, so that'll be fun.

814
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,079
And yeah, it's it's been really fun. I've just done

815
00:38:54,079 --> 00:38:55,760
a couple of like those, you know, those first two

816
00:38:56,159 --> 00:38:58,199
big bosses, and even even that first one, I kind

817
00:38:58,199 --> 00:38:59,639
of got to him when I was maybe a little

818
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:01,719
under level, so it took a lot of tries, but

819
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,440
it was really fun to just kind of learn these combos.

820
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,840
And Outer Ring is such a stinker even early on

821
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:11,119
with the delayed strikes mixed with you know, uh, now

822
00:39:11,159 --> 00:39:13,599
suddenly this comp is gonna be five attacks very quick.

823
00:39:13,639 --> 00:39:14,960
You just got to roll it out of the way.

824
00:39:15,159 --> 00:39:17,239
It's really satisfying to learn those things and to get

825
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,800
good them, and then you know, progressively get a bit better,

826
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,360
and then you have that one run where you get

827
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:23,920
bind the skin of your teeth and it's just this

828
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,199
euphoria you feel so amazing when that happens. Boy through

829
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,920
a really pretty game. That's the Limb Gray that's starting area.

830
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,440
Just seeing that giant tree and the fields and everything

831
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,519
going on, and I'm still shocked, Like, boy, this game's

832
00:39:36,559 --> 00:39:39,679
so big and every nook and cranny has something to do.

833
00:39:40,519 --> 00:39:43,119
So Yeah, Eldon Ring still still good and I'm excited

834
00:39:43,119 --> 00:39:44,800
to continue playing through it.

835
00:39:45,639 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're always forgetting to end your weapon.

836
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 2: Oh that's a big problem. Yeah, because, uh, especially with that,

837
00:39:52,639 --> 00:39:56,599
remind you if I have the I have a weapon

838
00:39:56,639 --> 00:39:59,719
that where it has a strength requirement that means it

839
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,840
does it's basically nothing unless like two hand it what

840
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,559
happens whenever you upgrade your weapon, it automatically goes back

841
00:40:04,559 --> 00:40:06,880
to being one handed. And I never noticed, and I

842
00:40:07,039 --> 00:40:10,400
always forget it. It's a big problem. Ie.

843
00:40:10,639 --> 00:40:12,679
Speaker 5: I do think what you're describing though, of replaying it

844
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,480
speaks to why it was always really silly to gate

845
00:40:15,639 --> 00:40:19,239
keep from soft games and like not people not wanting

846
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,000
there to be anything resembling an easier way to play it,

847
00:40:22,039 --> 00:40:23,719
whether it be an easy mode or just like in

848
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,079
game mechanics that make it easy, and they're like, that's

849
00:40:26,119 --> 00:40:28,239
not the real way to play and like you can't

850
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,679
have those. I think it's you know, it's cool that

851
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,840
you played through it maybe taking advantage of some of

852
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,960
those things, and now you like the game because it's

853
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,920
a good game and there's depth there. You can just

854
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,960
revisit and play a different way, play it a more

855
00:40:40,039 --> 00:40:43,079
challenging way. But I'll even necessarily like turning on ultra

856
00:40:43,159 --> 00:40:45,639
hard difficulty or something. I think that speaks to their

857
00:40:45,679 --> 00:40:46,760
game design, right.

858
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 2: And I've been watching actually a lot of Frumsoft challenge

859
00:40:50,039 --> 00:40:52,599
run videos and it's just fun seeing the fans come

860
00:40:52,679 --> 00:40:55,480
up with ways of like, all right, we're gonna I'm

861
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,239
gonna beat the game using only fist weapons and I'm

862
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,800
never gonna upgrade them. Stuff like that. I'm like, oh man, yeah,

863
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,280
there's all sorts of ways you can kind of just

864
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:08,320
modify the difficulty on your own. It's interesting, very good.

865
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: No coincidence, folks that were playing Elder We're talking about

866
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:17,719
Elder ring on tomorrow Saint's birthday. Birthdayay, there you go,

867
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:23,159
Pal twenty four years old speaking of people in their twenties,

868
00:41:23,559 --> 00:41:29,320
baby brother, No, I do what the fuck? Sean, You've

869
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,920
got a duo of games of tandem. If you will

870
00:41:32,039 --> 00:41:33,480
tell us about superstation.

871
00:41:34,039 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, so the superstation. I'm bringing a positive light to

872
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,639
this hardware that I purchased after Mike unfortunately got shipped

873
00:41:42,639 --> 00:41:44,480
to dud he let.

874
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 2: I gotta still fix that.

875
00:41:46,119 --> 00:41:49,599
Speaker 5: It happens with any hardware, like one in like five

876
00:41:49,679 --> 00:41:53,760
thousand people get one that just happens to be a dub. Yeah,

877
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:58,159
just Mike lost the lottery this time. So yeah, I've

878
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,239
got my superstation set up and I've been putting around

879
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,679
with If people don't know, if they haven't heard, I

880
00:42:03,679 --> 00:42:05,599
think you explained it. But if they didn't hear that

881
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,079
on the BombCast a few weeks back, this is like

882
00:42:08,119 --> 00:42:12,239
a pre assembled Mister based console thing. And if you

883
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,840
don't know what Mister is, basically it's like sort of

884
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,480
like a raspberry Pie style project, where like you take

885
00:42:17,519 --> 00:42:20,760
a computer board and they use that to do other things.

886
00:42:21,039 --> 00:42:25,920
The Mister is taking a programmable computer chip FPGA. You've

887
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,400
heard that if you've bought like the Analog Pocket or

888
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,719
something like that. This is like the open source version

889
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,559
of all the stuff that Analog is doing. You can

890
00:42:32,639 --> 00:42:36,320
use a programmable computer chip to simulate a very accurate

891
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,519
level old video game hardware. It's very cool, and I've

892
00:42:39,519 --> 00:42:42,079
always wanted one. It's just it's always been such a

893
00:42:42,119 --> 00:42:45,800
DIY project. It's kind of like building a PC. I

894
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:47,840
just don't really I didn't really want to get into

895
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,280
that and maybe get the wrong thing in terms of

896
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,360
like the add ons you can get in everything. So

897
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,320
that's why I like the superstation is because it was

898
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,280
you know, Taki you Don's company retro remake. They've been

899
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,480
doing some like mod stuff they did, like the oled

900
00:43:00,519 --> 00:43:03,840
screen for the switch lights they did. You could buy

901
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,119
a mister preassembled from them, but now they have one

902
00:43:06,119 --> 00:43:08,599
that looks like a PS one. Slim people are getting them.

903
00:43:08,639 --> 00:43:10,639
A bunch of people in games media again them. I know,

904
00:43:10,639 --> 00:43:13,639
a bunch of people in the audience are getting them.

905
00:43:13,679 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 2: Now.

906
00:43:14,119 --> 00:43:18,159
Speaker 5: It's fun to play around with because there is Unfortunately,

907
00:43:18,559 --> 00:43:21,159
they did not ship it with the console UI that

908
00:43:21,199 --> 00:43:23,840
they've been promising because they hit a couple bugs along

909
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,440
the way. So when you get it, it's just a mister.

910
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:30,760
It just runs those games accurately and everything, even though

911
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,679
it doesn't have that UI that they promise that also

912
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,440
has some of the functionality of hardware you may have purchased,

913
00:43:35,639 --> 00:43:38,800
like the DOC doesn't work correctly, right now because like

914
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,119
disc reading doesn't work because they need that extra stuff

915
00:43:42,119 --> 00:43:45,599
that they've been programming that isn't you know, merged into

916
00:43:45,639 --> 00:43:48,320
the Mister Project yet. So it's it's a really weird

917
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:52,119
and messy situation. But the hardware itself, if you're using

918
00:43:52,119 --> 00:43:54,199
it as a Mister right now and while we wait

919
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,239
for that update, it's really good at why it does

920
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,159
you know, like out putting classic games over HDMI and

921
00:43:59,199 --> 00:44:03,440
looking very clean. There's analog video outputs you want to

922
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,000
connect it to a CRT and the Mister Project just

923
00:44:06,079 --> 00:44:09,320
keeps getting better. Now there's retro achievements support on and

924
00:44:09,519 --> 00:44:11,920
people have heard me talk about retro achietment like those

925
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,440
I love retro achievements. It has been a great way

926
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,519
to like a reason for me to play more and

927
00:44:16,559 --> 00:44:19,840
more retro games on top of maybe some news items

928
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,280
we'll talk about that has me revisiting the past instead

929
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:26,440
of going to the future. That's cool that now the

930
00:44:26,559 --> 00:44:30,239
NES Super NES Genesis and sixty four and PS one

931
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,719
all have Hardcore Achievements support mode. So that's like, if

932
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,719
you care about retro achievements, you want to play it

933
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,079
like how people earn them on consoles. That's hardcore mode

934
00:44:39,119 --> 00:44:42,079
with like no safe stating, no rewinding and stuff like that.

935
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,519
It's cool that now we can do that on something

936
00:44:44,559 --> 00:44:47,320
that's like easy to set up, Like you take out

937
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,679
the box and assuming you don't get shipped a Lemon,

938
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,239
you just plug it in, load your games up, pair

939
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,639
of controller by pressing a single button, and you're off

940
00:44:55,679 --> 00:44:58,199
to the racist. It's really cool and I'm really enjoying

941
00:44:58,199 --> 00:44:58,679
my time with.

942
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:02,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, my situations. Yeah, I just I do really want one.

943
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:04,239
I just I want it to work, so I do

944
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:05,159
have to get back.

945
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,159
Speaker 5: You just got to take advantage of that warranty because

946
00:45:07,159 --> 00:45:08,280
they'll still one.

947
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 4: Mine's been frustrating because like I bought the dock with it,

948
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,000
so I did the like you know, two and one thing,

949
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,800
and everyone started getting Everyone who just ordered the system

950
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,159
started getting there. So I was like, man, I want

951
00:45:17,159 --> 00:45:18,280
to get it. I want to start messing around with

952
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,360
it and stuff. And so you have to pay extra

953
00:45:20,519 --> 00:45:23,119
to get both of them shipped separately. But they were like, yeah,

954
00:45:23,159 --> 00:45:24,679
you'll get it earlier if you pay extra and split

955
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:26,239
them up. And I was like, okay, fine, and I

956
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,599
got it, and so I have the thing. I've never

957
00:45:28,639 --> 00:45:30,199
I've not turned it on yet because now it's like

958
00:45:30,199 --> 00:45:33,119
I'm waiting for the dock and they just won't tell me.

959
00:45:33,159 --> 00:45:35,719
They're like, oh, yeah, we're starting mass production TBD and

960
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,559
when that's going out, and so it's just been this

961
00:45:37,599 --> 00:45:39,480
whole thing where it's like I paid extra to get

962
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,679
it quicker and I still don't have the thing, and

963
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:43,760
it's a yeah, it's been a frustrating situation.

964
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 3: So I've not been able to mess around with it yet.

965
00:45:45,639 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 5: Did you what do you have right now? Like, well,

966
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:48,280
just the.

967
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 4: System itself, but I do want to use it, like

968
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:51,880
I want to start ripping my whole collection, you know.

969
00:45:52,199 --> 00:45:54,800
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, and that's so you're waiting on the dock now.

970
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 3: Now I'm waiting on the dock.

971
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,679
Speaker 4: Yes, But they told me that by splitting them up,

972
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,360
I would get the whole thing quicker basically, and it's

973
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:01,000
just not happening.

974
00:46:01,039 --> 00:46:03,199
Speaker 5: Well, by splitting it up, you got the system quicker,

975
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:04,760
and now you have to wait for them to like

976
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:06,840
have a doc ready for you, which like if you

977
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,880
got it slightly like me and Mike got ours as

978
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,920
soon as possible because we're in that like first batch,

979
00:46:12,079 --> 00:46:14,119
and so if you were even like a couple hours later,

980
00:46:14,199 --> 00:46:17,079
or something, or like maybe like thirty minutes later you're

981
00:46:17,079 --> 00:46:19,280
probably just in like the next batch to get your

982
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,320
doc or whatever. It's been. It's been very messy. It's

983
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,760
been very messy from the company. It is, like I said, like,

984
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,159
you know, I'm not excusing it or anything, but TAKEI

985
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,159
has sort of like taken to his YouTube channel again

986
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,960
to talk about the business side of things and being like, frankly,

987
00:46:35,559 --> 00:46:38,159
maybe they bid off more than they can choose chew,

988
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,679
and hey, broading a business is pretty freaking hard, and

989
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,800
they underestimate some elements of how difficult some of that

990
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,079
stuff would be. So I think it's a learning experience.

991
00:46:47,159 --> 00:46:49,280
I think it sucks that it turned out this way

992
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,920
on this product, but hopefully they learn from it because

993
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:53,840
they want to do more projects like this in the future.

994
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,480
And I the hardware itself again went works, is very

995
00:46:57,559 --> 00:47:00,280
good and I'm having a great time with so I

996
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,320
you know, eventually we'll get to a point where everyone's

997
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,159
gonna be happy with it, and that's that's gonna be cool.

998
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,559
And for now, I'm enjoying what it is for what

999
00:47:06,679 --> 00:47:07,000
it is.

1000
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm in no rush too, because like with the

1001
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,840
Steam Machine, I've just really been going all in. I'm

1002
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:12,360
just like getting that set up exactly the way I

1003
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,159
want it. So just like retro tinkering, I've definitely been.

1004
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,079
Speaker 2: How are you gonna play PlayStation game?

1005
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 4: It is every time I get a new device, I

1006
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:22,800
get very excited about it and I turned the bog

1007
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:24,719
and say, finally I have a way to remember those

1008
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,079
old games I like to play.

1009
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 3: I can play the game, and she's like, I'm so

1010
00:47:28,519 --> 00:47:29,119
happy for you.

1011
00:47:31,159 --> 00:47:34,159
Speaker 1: I gotta say, as someone who like is a bit

1012
00:47:34,199 --> 00:47:37,159
guilty of doing a similar sort of rinse and repeat

1013
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:41,920
like a psychopath, just like setting up retro consoles getting them,

1014
00:47:42,519 --> 00:47:44,400
I don't know. I kind of don't even like get

1015
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,719
down into the nitty gritty of like selecting games. It's

1016
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:48,760
just sort of dump what I have and and kind

1017
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:52,599
of move on, like I'm just not playing them, and

1018
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,199
I just need to be an adult about it and

1019
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:56,159
just be like I don't.

1020
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:57,639
Speaker 2: I gotta just stop caring.

1021
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:01,039
Speaker 5: I just gotta stop it because the sickness you're buying

1022
00:48:01,039 --> 00:48:03,880
the hardware, You're like, okay, well anyways, moving on.

1023
00:48:04,039 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 1: Well I don't have a ton of them, my I

1024
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:11,440
guess my my most my most used retro device is

1025
00:48:11,599 --> 00:48:17,119
probably like the steam deck sure for being fully honest,

1026
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,360
and you know, I yeah, I tried to do it

1027
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:25,400
on the Ally the Rock ally X thing, and I'm

1028
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:29,239
just I just I hate turning that thing on. It's

1029
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,719
just gonna annoy me with eleven thousand updates every time

1030
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:36,280
I turn it on. And then, uh, you know, and

1031
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:38,519
and that's it. I'm just And I have a thor

1032
00:48:38,639 --> 00:48:43,159
which I've sort of neglected. It's just not it's just

1033
00:48:43,159 --> 00:48:45,880
not like, you know, like the one game that I

1034
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,159
like to play once a year is Shadow of the Classes,

1035
00:48:49,199 --> 00:48:52,360
and it's like, I've got pretty good PS four.

1036
00:48:52,639 --> 00:48:55,039
Speaker 2: You know remaster that that that serves me.

1037
00:48:55,079 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: Well. Uh, there are some purists who are like, oh,

1038
00:48:58,039 --> 00:49:02,159
if you're not playing the PS two version, you're your Yeah.

1039
00:49:02,119 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 2: They get upset about that. I'm like, they are nice.

1040
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:09,639
I mean, they're intent. They need to shut the fuck up.

1041
00:49:10,559 --> 00:49:14,360
They need to go touch grass. These fucking losers. Oh

1042
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:14,840
my god.

1043
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 5: There's always a purist too. It's like the people who

1044
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:21,000
say Final Fantasy sound remakes shouldn't exist at all. It's

1045
00:49:21,039 --> 00:49:25,159
like it's just not for you. It's fine, all of them.

1046
00:49:25,159 --> 00:49:27,280
Speaker 2: Like there's there's a lot of Majora's mask fans who

1047
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,079
are like that three DS versions no good. I'm like,

1048
00:49:29,119 --> 00:49:31,079
that's the one that I liked and played through like

1049
00:49:31,119 --> 00:49:34,480
so much. I bet, I bet they have good reasons.

1050
00:49:34,519 --> 00:49:35,800
I listened to them like I would understand.

1051
00:49:36,039 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 5: It's more like the Majors Mask one where they like

1052
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,519
change the physics. I'm like, okay, I get it, but

1053
00:49:40,639 --> 00:49:43,480
also the originals there for your play. I get being,

1054
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,519
you know, disappointed in something, but oh no, man, it's

1055
00:49:47,559 --> 00:49:48,039
not working.

1056
00:49:48,199 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 2: Mad about I will say that, like my favorite retro

1057
00:49:52,159 --> 00:49:55,239
thing probably is still using my retro taken actually using consoles,

1058
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:57,719
which is a cumbersome thing, but to me that may know,

1059
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,280
that makes a whole thing a bit more fun and

1060
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,800
interesting to me. And I like collecting games, and there's

1061
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,760
something about like I'm going to play Gold and I

1062
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:07,039
and a lot of people are like, well, aren't you

1063
00:50:07,039 --> 00:50:08,880
here's a PC version you can play. You can play

1064
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,039
it on the next week. I don't know. I like putting

1065
00:50:11,039 --> 00:50:13,880
this cartridge in my Nintendo sixty four and just playing

1066
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,360
it like that with the controller and everything, and.

1067
00:50:16,199 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's It's just that's why I've always wanted a

1068
00:50:18,559 --> 00:50:20,199
misters because that way, you know, I can hook up

1069
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,599
my little eight. It do sixty four here, and then

1070
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,360
it feels like I'm playing on original hardware, even if

1071
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:28,199
I'm taking advantage of modern conveniences like built in AHDMI

1072
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,440
and stuff like that. So I like to meet meet

1073
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,159
in the middle of those two philosophies.

1074
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,599
Speaker 4: Last game I played on cartridge with space ace. So

1075
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:38,119
I think I'm ready to just be all you know, emulation, mister,

1076
00:50:38,519 --> 00:50:39,760
we don't anymore.

1077
00:50:41,519 --> 00:50:43,199
Speaker 2: Well, the next Blake Club is going to be going

1078
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,679
to be emulation. It's just the little I can't wait

1079
00:50:46,679 --> 00:50:51,280
too good, assume it.

1080
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,599
Speaker 1: But next week I'm gonna need some written instructions and

1081
00:50:54,679 --> 00:50:55,400
a manual.

1082
00:50:56,559 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 2: But I can't wait. I have and I have some.

1083
00:50:58,519 --> 00:51:01,079
Speaker 1: Ideas I haven't even told you of how I want

1084
00:51:01,079 --> 00:51:05,119
to intro this whole thing involves. It involves a lot

1085
00:51:05,159 --> 00:51:05,800
of production.

1086
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 2: Oh wow, okay, yeah.

1087
00:51:08,079 --> 00:51:09,800
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just saying I don't know if it's

1088
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:15,920
gonna happen. No, No, not shipping in sand. We're not

1089
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:16,480
doing that.

1090
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:17,280
Speaker 5: That's what you think.

1091
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 2: I'll only do that when I go to the beach.

1092
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 1: But yeah, well we'll see what we can do.

1093
00:51:23,559 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 2: Uh.

1094
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: Here with that, Uh finally, last game on this list

1095
00:51:27,079 --> 00:51:31,639
here is uh some sort of alphanumeric combination of letters

1096
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:33,800
I W four x sean.

1097
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 2: But what are we doing here, bud?

1098
00:51:35,519 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, if the name didn't give it away. So this

1099
00:51:37,559 --> 00:51:42,599
isn't a game, This is a mod. Oh not again,

1100
00:51:42,679 --> 00:51:44,800
we'll get to the news. But more than ever, I

1101
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:48,599
have this thought in my head of like supporting people

1102
00:51:48,639 --> 00:51:50,840
directly and playing the games you al a have, and

1103
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:55,119
like revisiting retro stuff. And so this is something that

1104
00:51:56,119 --> 00:51:58,760
I was. I was trying to find a copy of

1105
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,039
the Call of Duty Man war Fair trilogy on three

1106
00:52:01,199 --> 00:52:04,599
sixty for a decent price, because that's backwards compatable. And

1107
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:08,960
I stopped and thought, like, am I actually gonna play this?

1108
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,760
Like I'm gonna pay for Xbox Live and play it

1109
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,960
online stuff, And I'm like, well, no, I want to

1110
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,239
play with my friends, and we've all moved to like

1111
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,159
PC stuff for the most part, unless we're playing on

1112
00:52:19,199 --> 00:52:22,199
my PS four. And so what this is. I looked

1113
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,119
it up, and this is a mod that's apparently running

1114
00:52:25,199 --> 00:52:29,039
and working fine. It's like a community fix for the

1115
00:52:29,079 --> 00:52:31,639
PC version of Call of Duty Modern Warfare two, the

1116
00:52:31,679 --> 00:52:35,599
old one, not the reboot bullshit. And so this is

1117
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,000
There's there's been a few projects to do stuff like this.

1118
00:52:38,119 --> 00:52:40,719
You know, there was like the remake that they were

1119
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,159
going to do that Activision shut down and stuff like that.

1120
00:52:43,559 --> 00:52:46,639
This is you know what, this is a happy medium.

1121
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,320
This is fans going in fixing the game, fixing the

1122
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:53,960
security issues with it, making it so that you can

1123
00:52:54,039 --> 00:52:56,599
use a controller with aim assist, or you can use

1124
00:52:56,679 --> 00:53:01,320
keyboard and mouse. It's all like customs, which apparently the

1125
00:53:01,519 --> 00:53:05,280
ESA says is illegal, which they're not, you stupid morons.

1126
00:53:05,519 --> 00:53:07,639
And so you just go in there and like play

1127
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:11,000
there will just be a serverless like a classic PC game,

1128
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:13,960
and it's just really refreshing to hop in there and

1129
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:15,760
play an old game that I, you know, played in

1130
00:53:16,039 --> 00:53:18,079
high school and college with my friends on our three

1131
00:53:18,159 --> 00:53:22,199
sixties and in step I worry about. You fire up

1132
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,159
Modern Call of Duty and you're hit with a million

1133
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,079
ADS and you have to worry about all the bullshit.

1134
00:53:26,159 --> 00:53:28,000
The way actually starts running things well.

1135
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,119
Speaker 2: Launchers a great experience for everybody. We all love that.

1136
00:53:31,679 --> 00:53:34,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just don't know, it's a running theme of

1137
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,800
communities are bringing back these games that we all love

1138
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,920
from back in the day and making them feel fresh

1139
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,360
and modern and like fixing issues that companies don't want

1140
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:46,280
to invest in fixing. It's really cool. I I we

1141
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,280
we did played this for game night there night being

1142
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:52,360
my friends online, and we had a blast. It was

1143
00:53:52,519 --> 00:53:53,760
just really fun to revisit on.

1144
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:54,280
Speaker 3: That we love.

1145
00:53:54,559 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 5: If if anyone wants the actual link, I think there's

1146
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,719
a bunch of copycats, it's a IW four ax dot

1147
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,719
I is where I got mine. Again, it's a mod,

1148
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,400
So I'm not gonna, like, you know, put out my

1149
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,480
whole ass behind this, But as far as I tell,

1150
00:54:07,559 --> 00:54:09,519
it's really cool. I had good time with it, and

1151
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,639
it's neat to make sure that these old games stay alive.

1152
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,519
Speaker 2: I was watching Summer Games Done Quick yesterday and one

1153
00:54:16,519 --> 00:54:18,920
of the one of the games played was this mod

1154
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:23,320
for Jack and Daxter, yes called Gordon and Daxter, where

1155
00:54:23,519 --> 00:54:26,880
it was just Gordon Freeman from from Half Life in

1156
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,480
the game. Instead, you're just you know, you're just going

1157
00:54:29,519 --> 00:54:33,320
around the jacket dexter map. You're still getting the precursor orbs,

1158
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,840
but you're Gordon Freeman with those mechanics. I'm like, oh,

1159
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:38,639
I want to play that. That looks fu.

1160
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,119
Speaker 1: So you get to like a gravity gun, Like, what

1161
00:54:42,119 --> 00:54:42,719
are what you mean?

1162
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,159
Speaker 2: I think it might be more like I think it

1163
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:46,880
might be more first, I.

1164
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:50,119
Speaker 5: Think you can. But like, yeah, they were like bunny

1165
00:54:50,119 --> 00:54:52,360
hopping with the shotgun and stuff like that, because it's

1166
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:56,360
the it's the PC. Because they decompiled Jack one. I

1167
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,400
think they're working on Jack two right now, so there's

1168
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,079
all sorts of mods for the PC port of that

1169
00:55:01,199 --> 00:55:05,519
decompilation project. And what is Gordon and Daxter. Yeah that

1170
00:55:05,599 --> 00:55:06,679
was cool watch yesterday.

1171
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:08,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like, oh, I'm into this.

1172
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,760
Speaker 1: I had such a weird moment last week. It was

1173
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:16,280
watching one of his favorite YouTubers who I cannot recommend

1174
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:21,480
enough ice cream sandwich, super funny, amazing animator, great, great

1175
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:26,320
h content, And in one of the episodes was the

1176
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,840
gravity gun from Half Life, because he was just like

1177
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:30,960
referring to it and it was like I know what

1178
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:31,920
that is, and I'm.

1179
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 7: Like what O.

1180
00:55:33,039 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a thing you can like pick stuff up

1181
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:35,320
and throw it.

1182
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:38,639
Speaker 2: I'm like what how do you? Hell? Yeah?

1183
00:55:39,039 --> 00:55:43,159
Speaker 1: So, like the again, this is not me complaining. I

1184
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:47,119
just think it's like this wild you know, cultural video

1185
00:55:47,199 --> 00:55:50,920
game cultural sort of like mishmash where we have like

1186
00:55:52,079 --> 00:55:56,679
items from gaming war and Potpoury were like like, dib

1187
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:58,880
knows what a gravity gun is. He doesn't know what

1188
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,880
half life is, don't know where Gordon Freeman is. He

1189
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:03,840
just knows like what that weapon is.

1190
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like the Gary's mod effect where kids like,

1191
00:56:07,039 --> 00:56:10,119
you know, it's exactly from like the random crap they

1192
00:56:10,119 --> 00:56:12,320
download on their laptop and now we're at the point

1193
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:13,920
where it's all YouTubers doing that.

1194
00:56:14,119 --> 00:56:16,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am, though, I do think that the gravity

1195
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:17,960
gun is one of the most important things that has

1196
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:21,039
happened in my lifetime. All right.

1197
00:56:21,159 --> 00:56:23,159
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you go you that way, I

1198
00:56:23,199 --> 00:56:26,519
go another way maybe, but like, uh, you know, pains

1199
00:56:26,559 --> 00:56:27,880
me a little bit to hear my son say that,

1200
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:32,519
but I think, like my other son, but he knows,

1201
00:56:32,599 --> 00:56:34,559
like you know, he obviously he's played Portal so who

1202
00:56:34,559 --> 00:56:36,480
knows what the portal guns are? And obviously those are

1203
00:56:36,679 --> 00:56:40,159
very much connected in more ways than one. But I

1204
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:43,320
just think it's wild. It's it's just it's just nothing like, how.

1205
00:56:43,119 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 2: Do you know, little kid, what a gravity gun is?

1206
00:56:47,679 --> 00:56:48,920
And there you have it.

1207
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:52,519
Speaker 1: I think chat is also correct. I think Gary's mod

1208
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:55,840
Rich Rich Bad Game said Gary Mind had a huge

1209
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:57,719
influence on YouTuber culture.

1210
00:56:59,159 --> 00:57:00,840
Speaker 2: Toilet right, Yah.

1211
00:57:01,079 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 5: See those references left and right. Even if they've kind

1212
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:04,519
of lost all meaning.

1213
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:09,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have outstayed their sort of immediate relevance in

1214
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:10,400
so many ways.

1215
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 2: It's it's kind of fascinating.

1216
00:57:12,599 --> 00:57:15,159
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we're gonna take a break. When we

1217

1244
00:58:46,199 --> 00:58:48,119
Speaker 1: More back of our snack reviews. I don't know if

1245
00:58:48,159 --> 00:58:50,159
I could do more snack reviews. I did all the

1246
00:58:50,159 --> 00:58:54,440
snacks I have, just kidding, just kidding. I have tons

1247
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:57,559

Speaker 4: I have a Swedish fish bites coming posted in the discord,

1250
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:06,719
and I immediately bought like a twelve pack.

1251
00:59:08,039 --> 00:59:09,639
Speaker 2: I'm not much of a candy guy, but I do

1252
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:13,800
like a Swedish fish. Yeah, what about them? I don't

1253
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:15,840
know what it is. That's a good texture. I kind

1254
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:18,079
of like gummies, like I really look forward to my

1255
00:59:18,199 --> 00:59:21,719
fiber gummy every morning. Now right, it's like favor.

1256
00:59:21,679 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 3: I have tons of gummies. No, I'm with you, like

1257
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:25,239
I have so many.

1258
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:28,280
Speaker 4: I have probably like fifteen gummies a day, just because

1259
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:31,119
I like every excuse to have gummies. Yeah, like the

1260
00:59:31,199 --> 00:59:34,719
pre biotics, the fiber, the multi and all that stuff.

1261
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, I was going in a different direction with

1262
00:59:37,599 --> 00:59:39,880
the gummies. But yeah, y'all old farts can have your

1263
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,119
fiber gummies and I got.

1264
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:49,159
Speaker 2: The good gummies. Don't sin gummies. I get fiber. What

1265
00:59:49,199 --> 00:59:53,440
do you mean sin gummies? I mean illegal? What do

1266
00:59:53,519 --> 00:59:55,679
you mean? I'll try to get a good word for

1267
00:59:55,719 --> 00:59:58,039
you when I finally get the heaven years after you.

1268
01:00:00,639 --> 01:00:03,199
Speaker 1: Oh, baby, where I'm going, there's no heaven.

1269
01:00:03,679 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 2: Where I'm going. We won't need roads.

1270
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 1: Uh, So we're in line because you know, like when

1271
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:11,159
you go through Cetral Liberty that's in New Jersey, you

1272
01:00:11,199 --> 01:00:14,519
have to go through like airport security style, right, Like

1273
01:00:14,519 --> 01:00:18,280
it's basically that. So my my dumb ass friend from Maryland,

1274
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:23,079
he brings his marijuana vape with him. What and they're like, sir,

1275
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:29,280
And he's the dumbest because he like he wrote in

1276
01:00:29,599 --> 01:00:32,239
sharpie the strain that's on it. So he couldn't even

1277
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:35,679
like get away with saying this is just nicotine.

1278
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:38,519
Speaker 2: I thought it was, sir. It's just.

1279
01:00:40,119 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 1: It's just Bernie Lomac's sativa on it. What could it be, sir?

1280
01:00:45,159 --> 01:00:46,239
Throw it out, sir.

1281
01:00:46,519 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 4: My dad travels with melatonin gummies and on the bag

1282
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:53,320
he writes TSA colon, these are not marijuana gummies. These

1283
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:54,519
are melatonin for sleeping.

1284
01:00:55,719 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1285
01:00:56,079 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the TSA is like, thank you for labeling this.

1286
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:01,760
And we work on the honor system. Yeah, that's that's

1287
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:03,519
what t s A is, the honor system.

1288
01:01:03,639 --> 01:01:07,119
Speaker 5: TSA is not chill, dude. The TSA agent was very

1289
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,199
pissed that I forgot that I had a can of

1290
01:01:09,239 --> 01:01:11,360
monster in my luggage when we went from one home

1291
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:14,199
the other in l A. He was not happy. I

1292
01:01:14,239 --> 01:01:16,960
was like, I forgot. I'm sorry.

1293
01:01:16,639 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 1: It matters if it's sealed too, right, it can't even

1294
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:20,159
do it if it's sealed.

1295
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 2: No, yeah, it doesn't matter. It can't be it can't

1296
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:26,199
be liquid. But that's the melatonin gummy's also top tier.

1297
01:01:26,199 --> 01:01:31,719
They kind of like a purple flavor that's very good. No,

1298
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:37,320
I know what you mean, Mike, Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's

1299
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:41,559
very specky in it too, and it's good man.

1300
01:01:41,639 --> 01:01:42,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like it.

1301
01:01:42,719 --> 01:01:45,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I only need one to sleep, but it

1302
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:47,480
says I could take too, And sometimes I'm like I

1303
01:01:47,559 --> 01:01:50,119
just need another hit, baby, do you really does it?

1304
01:01:50,199 --> 01:01:52,039
Speaker 1: Did MELTONA really do it for you.

1305
01:01:52,679 --> 01:01:54,639
Speaker 2: It does. Even though I'm like, well where my dad

1306
01:01:54,639 --> 01:01:57,679
has said this, that might just be placebo, I'm like,

1307
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:00,119
yeah maybe, but basic.

1308
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:03,119
Speaker 3: Stay away from those.

1309
01:02:03,159 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 4: I feel like those make me groggy in the morning,

1310
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:08,440
so I do stay with Yeah.

1311
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 1: They they are now doing like sleep time gummies right,

1312
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:21,760
so they're like thhc Indica gummies that also, for lack

1313
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:25,159
of a better word, are laced with melatonin, and I

1314
01:02:25,199 --> 01:02:28,480
gotta imagine like that's probably a one two punch, right.

1315
01:02:28,719 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's gonna be interesting. Man. I just want

1316
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:32,679
to kind of get all the gummies, is like, put

1317
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:35,280
them in one bed, just like eat them like I would.

1318
01:02:35,519 --> 01:02:37,039
Speaker 3: Mike, are you with me? Like I think some people

1319
01:02:37,079 --> 01:02:39,400
would say this is ridiculous, but maybe you're with me, Mike.

1320
01:02:39,239 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 2: Okay, you could just.

1321
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 4: If you still at any point have the option to

1322
01:02:44,559 --> 01:02:46,880
treat yourself and go out and get some rbs have it,

1323
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:50,400
you know, grill or whatever. But just an average day,

1324
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:51,960
if you could just get everything you need by taking

1325
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:53,679
a bunch of tasty gummies, would you do it?

1326
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:56,280
Speaker 2: If I was like, if I felt satisfied from that,

1327
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:57,519
then sure, yeah, be easy.

1328
01:02:57,599 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 4: But like, okay, the sol and stuff and hel where

1329
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:02,639
it's just like, here's just a concoction that gives me

1330
01:03:02,719 --> 01:03:04,480
the nutrients, you know, and.

1331
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 2: I can't do that. I find those. I find the thick,

1332
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:08,559
drinky things disgusting.

1333
01:03:08,679 --> 01:03:09,199
Speaker 5: I just can't.

1334
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 2: I can't do them like I tried to do. I

1335
01:03:12,199 --> 01:03:15,079
try to do the h the protein shake, and I

1336
01:03:15,079 --> 01:03:17,599
was like, I actually cannot drink this. This is too

1337
01:03:17,639 --> 01:03:19,360
gross to me. I can do those anyway.

1338
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:21,119
Speaker 3: It brings New World or whatever where it's like, oh cool,

1339
01:03:21,119 --> 01:03:22,000
we can eat like this now.

1340
01:03:22,199 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think so.

1341
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just totally normal utopian situation.

1342
01:03:27,559 --> 01:03:29,760
Speaker 3: Weird about it, right, don't worry about where it comes from.

1343
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:34,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you so weird. So you want matrix gruel

1344
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:37,719
in jelly form, I want good matrix gruel.

1345
01:03:38,039 --> 01:03:39,639
Speaker 2: I wouldn't excuse to eat more gummies.

1346
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 1: I don't just yeah, I just enjoy having like a

1347
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:44,840
full ass meal.

1348
01:03:46,119 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 2: Like we're not one or the other all the time,

1349
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:50,320
all the time. Yeah, I get it, like but like everyone,

1350
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:52,440
so it's like sometimes like, oh, the fact that I

1351
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:54,119
have to eat is a problem, Like what am I

1352
01:03:54,159 --> 01:03:56,079
even gonna eat? When I've gotta cook something? Am I

1353
01:03:56,079 --> 01:03:57,480
gonna go somewhere to get it.

1354
01:03:57,719 --> 01:03:59,559
Speaker 4: You know if I just every day had like a

1355
01:03:59,559 --> 01:04:01,840
bowl of gummies that I can parse out. However, I

1356
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:03,760
went to throughout the day and that's everything I need

1357
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:04,800
that would be ideal.

1358
01:04:04,559 --> 01:04:07,159
Speaker 1: For me, Like the Wonka kind of situation.

1359
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:10,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I like cheeseburgers.

1360
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:15,159
Speaker 2: Cheers every day. Yeah, to be irresponsible, you gotta have

1361
01:04:15,199 --> 01:04:17,519
the gummies instead, right, you guys.

1362
01:04:17,559 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I christened the new grill this weekend and

1363
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:21,760
did not cook a single hot dog on it.

1364
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:26,440
Speaker 2: I'm sorry too because I ordered two hot dogs yesterday

1365
01:04:26,719 --> 01:04:28,400
and kind of only had room for one, and I

1366
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,000
brought one home and I don't know if I'm going

1367
01:04:30,039 --> 01:04:31,599
to get to it. I'd like I've been way too long.

1368
01:04:31,679 --> 01:04:33,599
I kind of didn't feel amazing after the hot dog

1369
01:04:33,679 --> 01:04:35,480
last night. So I'm a little a little worried about

1370
01:04:35,519 --> 01:04:36,639
eating my spare.

1371
01:04:38,119 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're all, we're all thinking about it.

1372
01:04:40,199 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 5: Yes, Sean, is the twenty sixth week of the year.

1373
01:04:43,719 --> 01:04:44,719
I'm on fifty two.

1374
01:04:45,039 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 2: Up your game, Jesus Christ.

1375
01:04:48,159 --> 01:04:51,159
Speaker 5: I want to sink with a dude, your.

1376
01:04:51,039 --> 01:04:53,480
Speaker 1: Doctor, Sean, but I feel like to step.

1377
01:04:53,159 --> 01:05:02,599
Speaker 2: In yeah from Mike. Yeah, am I just what kind

1378
01:05:02,639 --> 01:05:03,000
of grows you?

1379
01:05:04,239 --> 01:05:08,079
Speaker 1: I got a Webber. Yeah, I got a Weber for

1380
01:05:08,559 --> 01:05:11,519
burner Weber, which is probably a little too big for

1381
01:05:11,639 --> 01:05:14,199
what I need, but it proved to be the right

1382
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:16,320
size for the for the family of five that we

1383
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:20,920
were hosting over the weekend. Okay, there you go, you folks,

1384

01:05:28,159 --> 01:05:30,920
and then make sure you do like a real half

1388
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:33,760
hour forty five minute burn off, get all the production

1389
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:34,800
oils off the.

1390
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 2: Ship, like, do you know? Do you know the onion trick?

1391
01:05:37,679 --> 01:05:39,000
Speaker 1: I do know the onion trick.

1392
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:40,639
Speaker 2: I was.

01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 2: There you go, which steam? Let's go.

1396
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:59,039
Speaker 1: You're damn straight. I am speaking of good sh no

1397
01:05:59,119 --> 01:06:02,800
good news, and Mikey will have that honor as we

1398
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:04,719
pivot into the news.

1399
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:06,480
Speaker 2: Here we go.

1400
01:06:09,519 --> 01:06:12,239
Speaker 1: The onion strick has nothing to do with putting an

1401
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:14,000
onion between your ass cheek.

1402
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:16,079
Speaker 3: For a salary. That's where you do a salary.

1403
01:06:16,159 --> 01:06:21,119
Speaker 2: That's salary and carrots. Yeah, come on, get your shit together. Uh, Yeah,

1404
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:23,480
that's I'm doing the news covering for Grub coming for

1405
01:06:23,519 --> 01:06:26,280
Grub all week on Game of Mornings as well. So

1406
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:30,519
don't worry. We still have video game news happening, including

1407
01:06:31,519 --> 01:06:35,480
latest from Xbox. Xbox is reducing staff by approximately three

1408
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:40,000
thousand and two hundred throughout the fiscal year twenty twenty seven.

1409
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:43,079
The Xbox CEO, Asha Sharma has had a kind of

1410
01:06:43,079 --> 01:06:44,960
a post on the Xbox Wire that was also a

1411
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:48,679
memo that went out to staff detailing this, noting we

1412
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:53,000
are beginning the most significant restructure in Xbox history. At

1413
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,719
their careful consideration, I made a difficult decision to reduce

1414
01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:59,480
our team by approximately three thousand, two hundred throughout the

1415
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:02,679
fiscal year twenty seven. This one include one thousand, six

1416
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:06,440
hundred role eliminations today. In an addition, four studios will

1417
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:10,199
leave Xbox to new management. This includes Compulsion Games in

1418
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:15,920
Double Fine, which are now independent, keeping their IPN games catalog.

1419
01:07:16,519 --> 01:07:19,079
Ninja Theory and Undead Labs are going to have a

1420
01:07:19,119 --> 01:07:22,599
new ownership and we'll continue to work on their games

1421
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:29,199
Senua and State of the K three respectively. Also, Ourcane

1422
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:35,519
is beginning consultation to look at its options, so We'll

1423
01:07:35,519 --> 01:07:37,960
see what happens with that studio. They're working on Blade

1424
01:07:38,039 --> 01:07:43,119
right now. Jason Schreier over at Bloomberg reported that in

1425
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:46,159
Software and Senemax on My studios not shut down, but

1426
01:07:46,199 --> 01:07:51,400
they've been hit by a pretty large amounts of layoffs

1427
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:54,599
over there. We all kind of knew this was going

1428
01:07:54,679 --> 01:07:59,239
to come on Monday, and here it is a lot

1429
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:03,719
of layoffs of offloading. In this same kind of memo,

1430
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:06,519
Asha Sharma's like, you know, we want Xbox to be big,

1431
01:08:06,559 --> 01:08:09,440
we want to read, we want to entertain a billion

1432
01:08:09,519 --> 01:08:11,920
people a day. We want to be one of those companies.

1433
01:08:12,679 --> 01:08:15,880
How is that possible, guys? How can they possibly?

1434
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:20,520
Speaker 5: It's not it's literally not physically not. You cannot reach

1435
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:25,119
one billion people a day if you're doing anything. She

1436
01:08:25,239 --> 01:08:28,199
doesn't know what a billion is. She's a moron.

1437
01:08:29,079 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's there's only like how many billions of people

1438
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:37,279
on the planet, right, Yeah, you're gonna reach an eighth

1439
01:08:37,279 --> 01:08:39,680
of the people on the planet every day with Halo.

1440
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:43,079
Speaker 1: It's just such an on its face, It's just I

1441
01:08:43,119 --> 01:08:47,319
think the like this particular thing is just so ridiculous

1442
01:08:47,319 --> 01:08:50,520
on its face. It's just like, I don't know, that

1443
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:52,800
is not the thing anyone wants to hear after you

1444
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:56,760
are decimating a failed section of your business, right like,

1445
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:59,520
It's just not the thing anyone wants to hear. It's

1446
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:03,279
the wrong thing to say in that moment, which someway

1447
01:09:03,319 --> 01:09:03,960
wrong things.

1448
01:09:04,159 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear.

1449
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:08,239
Speaker 5: That was difficult for you to upend all these people's lives.

1450
01:09:08,399 --> 01:09:11,439
Shut up. I'm tired of every CEO starting every statement

1451
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:14,560
with after much deliberation, I have made the difficult decision. No,

1452
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:17,039
you fucking didn't, because you and your buddies are still

1453
01:09:17,039 --> 01:09:18,439
making millions of dollars a years.

1454
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:19,079
Speaker 2: Fuck off.

1455
01:09:19,079 --> 01:09:23,199
Speaker 1: It wasn't It wasn't difficult to parade around SGF like

1456
01:09:23,319 --> 01:09:24,359
you belong there.

1457
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:29,640
Speaker 2: Right for the xboxes showing stated to K three in

1458
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:32,720
your presentation, knowing that you weren't going to be owning

1459
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:35,880
those studios anymore. Pretty shortly after that.

1460
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:40,039
Speaker 1: Even Bernie Sanders chimed in on this.

1461
01:09:40,079 --> 01:09:42,159
Speaker 2: Did you guys relate that what he said?

1462
01:09:42,399 --> 01:09:45,760
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders said, last year Microsoft made one hundred and

1463
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:49,720
one billion in profits, got a twelve point five billion

1464
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:53,479
tax break from Trump, and paid it's CEO ninety six million.

1465
01:09:54,199 --> 01:09:56,880
This year, it's raising the price of an xbox by

1466
01:09:56,880 --> 01:10:00,960
one hundred and fifty and eliminating thirty two hundred. Please

1467
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:04,279
don't tell me corporate tax breaks create jobs. It never

1468
01:10:04,399 --> 01:10:05,399
trickles down.

1469
01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:07,479
Speaker 2: Right, And that's why I can't be like, well, well,

1470
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:09,399
you know, at least they at least they didn't just

1471
01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:11,960
close down Double Fine and they let them keep their IP.

1472
01:10:12,239 --> 01:10:17,239
It's it's those things are good, and I'm glad that.

1473
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:21,199
I guess public pressure or just like them, worried about

1474
01:10:21,319 --> 01:10:24,319
looking too bad, I don't know makes those things happen.

1475
01:10:24,359 --> 01:10:26,920
I don't think that's entirely out of the goodness of

1476
01:10:27,279 --> 01:10:30,079
their heart. Yeah. The other strange thing is, you know,

1477
01:10:30,119 --> 01:10:32,399
they they're they're talking a lot in this memo about

1478
01:10:32,399 --> 01:10:36,439
you know, we're gonna refocus on our core franchises, okay,

1479
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:40,560
and a lot of the reporting Doom and Quake are

1480
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:44,920
mentioned as part of those core franchises. Last last I

1481
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:49,439
looked in software makes dooman Quake, and they're apparently they're like,

1482
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:53,199
whole programming team has practically been laid off. So I

1483
01:10:53,199 --> 01:10:56,880
don't know how you're gonna make more Dooms in our quakes.

1484
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:58,840
We haven't even had a quake in a while. I'd

1485
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:02,399
love to see a new Quake. But Halo, how are

1486
01:11:02,399 --> 01:11:05,920
you going to get people excited for Halo again? I

1487
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:08,399
got no idea. Gears. There's a new Gears coming out.

1488
01:11:08,399 --> 01:11:09,680
We'll see how that does. It's not going to be

1489
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:11,920
some big deal. That would to Scroll six seems like

1490
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:14,159
the one thing maybe that can be a big deal.

1491
01:11:14,399 --> 01:11:20,239
But boy, Bethesda has struggled lately, right Starfield happened Starfield

1492
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:23,399
even before that, It's kind of been this decline honestly

1493
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:26,640
since Skyrim over there. So I don't know how that

1494
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:29,920
just gets turned around. And you know, their next console

1495
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,840
is going to cost one thousand dollars or more. Probably

1496
01:11:33,119 --> 01:11:37,079
it's not going to have very many exclusives. What are

1497
01:11:37,079 --> 01:11:41,800
they possibly going to be able to do to turn

1498
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:45,800
this ship around get people excited about this brand again?

1499
01:11:46,199 --> 01:11:48,640
Speaker 5: How is that strategy any different than what they're doing

1500
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:52,359
right now? Are they not focusing on four franchises that

1501
01:11:52,399 --> 01:11:53,279
they can get out there?

1502
01:11:53,359 --> 01:11:56,079
Speaker 2: We'll make a fable again everyone, sorry about that?

1503
01:11:56,359 --> 01:11:59,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, we forgot that. You know, one of our biggest

1504
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:03,159
friends went away. We'll refocus on that. Like, this isn't

1505
01:12:03,159 --> 01:12:06,680
going to refocus more when you're also cutting jobs of

1506
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:09,840
the people who are intended to make those games like

1507
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,479
you brought up of like ID and all of their stuff.

1508
01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:16,479
I guess they'll hand the ip of someone else. They'll

1509
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:18,560
try to make it a smaller team. Maybe they make

1510
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:20,439
it a smaller team, and then I claim, oh, yeah,

1511
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:22,520
I wasn't working out, so we're canceling the project and

1512
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:25,680
cutting the team. This shit reeks of concepts of a plan.

1513
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:28,319
They don't actually have something that they know they want

1514
01:12:28,359 --> 01:12:34,359
to do. They're ascious, letter reaked of trying to meet

1515
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:39,920
fans and the corporation halfway and failing at both because

1516
01:12:40,199 --> 01:12:42,359
you can't. You can't have your cake and you too.

1517
01:12:42,359 --> 01:12:46,600
You can't just dangle oh Wolfenstein, Wolfenstein is being dangling

1518
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:49,239
from our face. Maybe we'll like that. They're not going

1519
01:12:49,319 --> 01:12:52,039
to kill that, like that Wolfenstein three project might still

1520
01:12:52,079 --> 01:12:56,399
be happening. You can't do that when it's very obvious

1521
01:12:56,439 --> 01:13:00,159
that you have no idea how you're going to expand

1522
01:13:00,319 --> 01:13:02,880
while shrinking. It just doesn't make sense.

1523
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:07,520
Speaker 1: Yeah it, I mean, at this point, it's just like

1524
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:09,439
I don't, I don't. I'm not listening to anything you

1525
01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:12,439
fucking say, Like, I don't care. Right, you've lost all

1526
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:16,479
the goodwill that was afforded, but over afforded. Uh, I

1527
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:19,960
just no one can take the messaging seriously from what's

1528
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:21,000
coming out of that camp.

1529
01:13:21,399 --> 01:13:24,800
Speaker 2: So you know, it's that's that's just sort.

1530
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:27,199
Speaker 1: Of like the reality we have to exist in right

1531
01:13:27,239 --> 01:13:30,720
now and for the foreseeable future and get fucked. I

1532
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:34,039
don't almost to say like yeah.

1533
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:37,720
Speaker 2: It's but it sucks because like it's like, yeah, there's

1534
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:40,079
I have this anger towards Xbox and it's like, boy,

1535
01:13:41,399 --> 01:13:43,319
the people I'm mad at are almost never going to

1536
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:46,239
really face consequences. They're gonna continue to make millions of

1537
01:13:46,319 --> 01:13:48,600
dollars while the people are gonna suffer, going to continue

1538
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:52,920
to be the developers at these studios like somehow Obsidian, right,

1539
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:54,720
we're gonna lay off people from ob Citian, the one

1540
01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:58,479
studio who is gonna make consistently making games for you

1541
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:02,760
guys an Xbox. They had the opportunity to foster more

1542
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:06,279
of these franchises they own Rare. They had Perfect Dark

1543
01:14:06,279 --> 01:14:09,600
and Bancho Kazuoi and did lets some shack goal with that.

1544
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:13,039
They canceled the Perfect Dark game. Uh Bencho Kazoo. That

1545
01:14:13,119 --> 01:14:16,800
means fucking tried sense and nuts and bolts. That's what's

1546
01:14:16,880 --> 01:14:19,680
nuts and bolts. Make a fucking banjo Kazooi game.

1547
01:14:20,199 --> 01:14:22,680
Speaker 1: It looks like that's the thing, and you know, I

1548
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:25,760
don't know. My take is like they obviously do not

1549
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:29,039
care about this part of the business, right because it's

1550
01:14:29,079 --> 01:14:32,880
a messag uh you know, sort of divestment.

1551
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:33,159
Speaker 2: Right.

1552
01:14:33,239 --> 01:14:36,439
Speaker 1: So it's like, certainly, you know, if look, if there's

1553
01:14:36,479 --> 01:14:40,359
a world where somehow Xbox becomes profitable after this decimation

1554
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:44,720
and the sort of like uh repairing of this colossal

1555
01:14:45,039 --> 01:14:48,800
mismanagement of the last however many years, like, all right,

1556
01:14:49,199 --> 01:14:52,159
then Xbox will continue because it's it's making money, but

1557
01:14:52,239 --> 01:14:55,239
all this is done in service of like eliminating the

1558
01:14:55,359 --> 01:15:00,039
wild uh you know, sort of unprofitability that xboxes a

1559
01:15:00,239 --> 01:15:03,920
business as a mess. So it's like, don't expect anything

1560
01:15:04,239 --> 01:15:06,760
because it's not being treated like these are people. It's

1561
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:09,279
being treated like it's just another asset that is not

1562
01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:15,039
going to do anything. So I feel like you have to,

1563
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:20,319
you know, not count on anything coming out that they've

1564
01:15:20,359 --> 01:15:23,000
ever said is going to come out, right, right, Like,

1565
01:15:23,079 --> 01:15:25,840
don't believe anything. You Like, if I was an Xbox

1566
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:30,239
freakazoid fanboy, you know, I would be unconsolable, But I

1567
01:15:30,239 --> 01:15:32,479
would also have to, like eventually face the facts that

1568
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:37,239
like all this shit is completely uh uh up up

1569
01:15:37,239 --> 01:15:41,560
for grabs. It's it's entirely possible that it doesn't happen, right,

1570
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:45,760
Like everything they say cannot be trusted. You have a

1571
01:15:46,159 --> 01:15:48,199
invisible thing right now, you know.

1572
01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:50,359
Speaker 5: And playing off of what both of you said, the

1573
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:54,800
problem here has always been it's not actually been the studios.

1574
01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:58,239
That has not been Xbox's problem. It's always been management

1575
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:01,960
always because Xbox started, you know, by all accounts, it

1576
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,399
started as like some nerds in the company wanted to

1577
01:16:04,399 --> 01:16:06,399
get a gaming division off the ground, and like the

1578
01:16:06,399 --> 01:16:09,560
way they could do that was by invading the living room.

1579
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:11,560
That's what Bill Gates would have signed off on, is

1580
01:16:12,159 --> 01:16:14,880
will invade the living room with the direct Xbox. And

1581
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:16,880
so you know, it was a little scrappy in the

1582
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:19,880
beginning within a bigger corporation, but they had something cool

1583
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:22,479
there with Xbox going into Xbox three sixty. They put

1584
01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:25,960
out a really good product, you know, red ring and all, sure, right, sure,

1585
01:16:26,359 --> 01:16:28,199
but they got over that and they had a really

1586
01:16:28,239 --> 01:16:31,640
good system on their hands with really good teams. But

1587
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:34,239
of course it's always the manage making in the way,

1588
01:16:34,279 --> 01:16:37,039
and that's how we get shit like Don Matric, there's

1589
01:16:37,119 --> 01:16:40,800
that story going around yesterday of someone who worked on

1590
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:45,039
Halo four presented it to Don Matric and him like stopping, like,

1591
01:16:45,079 --> 01:16:47,760
what was it like when the tank comes in and saying,

1592
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:52,760
the samebody here played Diablo three a little bit ago,

1593
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:56,039
like and he tried to present to everyone on a

1594
01:16:56,119 --> 01:16:58,239
team the fucking auction house.

1595
01:16:58,239 --> 01:17:01,680
Speaker 2: For real money, auction with the real money that like

1596
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:04,159
almost tanked that game in the beginning that they had

1597
01:17:04,199 --> 01:17:06,560
to get rid of because everyone fucking hated it so

1598
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:08,800
much and all the all the fucking yes, amoun it'd

1599
01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:11,039
be like, that's a great idea, Don, That's amazing, that's so.

1600
01:17:11,039 --> 01:17:15,560
Speaker 5: Awesome, a wild story because it's it's emblematic of everything

1601
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:18,239
that is wrong with Xbox management over the years from

1602
01:17:18,239 --> 01:17:20,479
that to then, you know, we have the Phil Spencer

1603
01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:23,479
era where they massively overspend to try and make game

1604
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:25,399
Pass the biggest thing in the world. And then what

1605
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:28,800
we didn't know until semi recently is the whispers on

1606
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:31,640
the wind weren't true, Like they were like, yeah, x

1607
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:34,600
you know, game Pass is profitable, everything's looking good. We've

1608
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:37,560
built up this portfolio again, it's going well, and then

1609
01:17:38,119 --> 01:17:40,359
we find out the truth of Oh, because they're not

1610
01:17:40,399 --> 01:17:44,119
accounting for running the studios, which of course they wouldn't

1611
01:17:44,119 --> 01:17:46,439
if they're willing to just cut the studios left and right.

1612
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:48,399
And that's how we end up here with the Asha

1613
01:17:48,399 --> 01:17:51,640
Sharma era where Xbox got too damn big, and like

1614
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:53,800
Grubb is always saying, you know, the hatchet man approach.

1615
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:55,880
They sent her in to just make cuts left and

1616
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:58,439
right and just upend everyone's lives. Yeah, it's just an

1617
01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:02,000
endless cycle of not a cohesive vision and the vision

1618
01:18:02,079 --> 01:18:05,439
of Microsoft, which is always the problem. It's like Microsoft

1619
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:10,119
and their management, you know, losing down into anything interesting

1620
01:18:10,119 --> 01:18:13,720
that Xbox might be doing and needing that infinite profitability,

1621
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:16,920
that infinite growth, and it is insane because it never

1622
01:18:17,039 --> 01:18:18,720
works out as we're seeing here.

1623
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:23,079
Speaker 2: It just it feels a bit like, you know, maybe

1624
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:26,039
you tend to get your most pessimistic during like the

1625
01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:30,359
midst of this. For sure, sometimes something I thing somehow turnaround.

1626
01:18:30,399 --> 01:18:32,720
It's hard to imagine here, but right now it just

1627
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:36,439
feels like, but all the Xbox ness in Microsoft's gaming

1628
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:39,279
portfolio is going to disappear, and what they're going to

1629
01:18:39,359 --> 01:18:41,840
be left with is the stuff that is profitable on

1630
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:47,640
its own Mojang, Call of Duty, King and maybe Blizzard

1631
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:50,640
and everything else is maybe going to be including Bethesa,

1632
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:52,960
everything else is going to be closer shut down. I

1633
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:54,399
think God knows what's going to happen.

1634
01:18:54,720 --> 01:18:59,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, because those are investment until they can turn it, Yes.

1635
01:18:59,119 --> 01:19:00,920
Speaker 5: Right, they just want those because those are the clear

1636
01:19:01,079 --> 01:19:05,439
revenue sources. That's something that like and a Microsoft executive,

1637
01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:08,119
maybe Sacha himself, can look at and see, we're making

1638
01:19:08,279 --> 01:19:10,880
x millions off of Minecraft. We're making x millions off

1639
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:13,880
of Call of Duty. This is worth having. But you know,

1640
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:16,680
all these other studios, they're not making that co pilot money.

1641
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:19,600
You know that potential co pilot money that I love

1642
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:22,039
so much, They're not making that. And that's that's what

1643
01:19:22,119 --> 01:19:24,800
this all comes back to. And maywhy shouldn't be surprising

1644
01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:27,479
that the former head of was that the AI core teams,

1645
01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:30,159
now the one wearing Xbox will make all these cuts

1646
01:19:30,159 --> 01:19:35,279
in the name of Microsoft's just insanely misguided approach to

1647
01:19:35,319 --> 01:19:36,960
what they're doing now with US software.

1648
01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:41,800
Speaker 1: We almost need like an on the ground, man on

1649
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:45,399
the street reporter who can sort of speak outside of

1650
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:48,359
our little bubble where we can get like the normy

1651
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:52,199
reaction to what goes on, Like I certainly have those

1652
01:19:52,239 --> 01:19:54,479
people in my life who are like, like someone over

1653
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:57,159
the weekend was like, is Xbox bad now? And I'm

1654
01:19:57,199 --> 01:20:01,960
just like, oh, brother, Like cannot be a text message conversation,

1655
01:20:02,239 --> 01:20:05,000
Like We're gonna have to fucking sit down and really

1656
01:20:05,039 --> 01:20:06,199
like go through the whole thing.

1657
01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:07,399
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1658
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:10,239
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe now that Bernie's commenting on it, now it

1659
01:20:10,279 --> 01:20:11,920
comes more into the.

1660
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:14,960
Speaker 2: Sort of public discourse.

1661
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:19,760
Speaker 5: This this stuff is certainly it's it's breaking containment because

1662
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:22,000
like you know, my mom who is older, so she

1663
01:20:22,119 --> 01:20:25,439
just watches the local and national news once each a day.

1664
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:29,079
She knew about PlayStation prices going up. It's like she

1665
01:20:29,079 --> 01:20:31,920
she's aware of this because it's hitting national news stories

1666
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:34,720
and stuff. So people are certainly starting to get aware

1667
01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:36,880
of it. I think if you're even remotely online like

1668
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:39,960
video games, you gets served videos and tiktoks and whatnot

1669
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:42,920
about people shitting on Xbox when they want to and

1670
01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:45,319
shooting up PlayStation, then you know, like even.

1671
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:50,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like look if if unfortunately everything has become

1672
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:53,760
such fucking team sports that like oh.

1673
01:20:53,720 --> 01:20:56,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, I've seen the comments, you.

1674
01:20:56,720 --> 01:20:59,680
Speaker 1: Know, Like, but but again, just like our politics, like

1675
01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:06,199
people becomes so deluded and and and delusional, right that

1676
01:21:06,399 --> 01:21:08,880
they just find a way to kind of like understand

1677
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:12,319
the cycle in the way that they are the most

1678
01:21:12,680 --> 01:21:14,520
comfortable receiving that narrative.

1679
01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:14,800
Speaker 2: Right.

1680
01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:17,279
Speaker 1: So, Like, I mean there's people who are just like

1681
01:21:17,399 --> 01:21:20,119
finally somebody is cleaning up Xbox.

1682
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:22,000
Speaker 2: You know, like training the swamp.

1683
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 1: Like it's just so psychotic, Like these people are are

1684
01:21:26,119 --> 01:21:27,760
terminally delusional.

1685
01:21:28,359 --> 01:21:31,359
Speaker 5: Influencers event It's like, no, dog, you don't understand what

1686
01:21:31,399 --> 01:21:31,880
you're saying.

1687
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:35,760
Speaker 1: So that's what I worry about, right, because there's no

1688
01:21:37,079 --> 01:21:41,239
there's no consensus of reality, right. So right, so like

1689
01:21:41,279 --> 01:21:43,520
you just have people kind of like waiting in their

1690
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:47,920
little piss pools of of of you know, complacency, and

1691
01:21:48,039 --> 01:21:51,079
like that's that's kind of it. So I don't know,

1692
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:53,439
I do. I really do want to follow with my

1693
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:54,840
normyve and and just sort of pick his brain a

1694
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:56,239
little bit more because I'm just like, what else do

1695
01:21:56,239 --> 01:21:59,399
you fucking think about Xbox Man? What else do you

1696
01:21:59,399 --> 01:22:00,560
think is going on right now?

1697
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:05,199
Speaker 2: Well, we don't want PlayStation to feel left out because,

1698
01:22:05,239 --> 01:22:10,279
believe it or not, that all happened after the last BombCast,

1699
01:22:10,319 --> 01:22:14,319
where PlayStation announced that the physical disc production is ending

1700
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:19,920
in January twenty twenty eight for new games. This is

1701
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:21,880
kind of what they said on their posts about this.

1702
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:25,800
As consumer preferences and the broader entertainment industry continue to

1703
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:28,840
shift the way from physical disc to digital. Physical game

1704
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:31,760
disproduction for all new games releasing on PlayStation consoles will

1705
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:35,840
be discontinued starting January twenty twenty eight, bowing to state,

1706
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:38,159
new games will be available on PlayStation Store and at

1707
01:22:38,279 --> 01:22:43,319
retailers in digital formats only. This is a natural direction

1708
01:22:43,399 --> 01:22:47,079
for Sony Interactive Entertainment to adapt to consumer trends as

1709
01:22:47,119 --> 01:22:51,479
the general preference for digital media significantly outpaces physical disc

1710
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:56,079
This transusition will enable us to align more closely with

1711
01:22:56,279 --> 01:22:59,560
how much of our community prefers to access in playgames Today.

1712
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:02,439
Dot DA do so hot when companies aligned with consumers,

1713
01:23:02,399 --> 01:23:06,600
SHIP will contain to prioritize our resources to drive innovation

1714
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:09,479
and how players can access games and provide choices as

1715
01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:12,479
to where players prefer to purchase new games, whether that's

1716
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:16,600
at retailers or PlayStation store. We remain committed to delivering

1717
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:18,840
a world class gaming experience our fans. We thank you

1718
01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:23,680
for your continued support, But you talk about breaching containment.

1719
01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:26,760
This one seems to have pissed a lot of people off.

1720
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:29,399
Uh oh yeah, yeah.

1721
01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:34,159
Speaker 1: It definitely transcends the sort of industry insider, savvy connected

1722
01:23:34,199 --> 01:23:35,159
person where it's just.

1723
01:23:35,079 --> 01:23:37,039
Speaker 2: Like what I have no, I own nothing.

1724
01:23:37,159 --> 01:23:39,119
Speaker 1: And that's really what it sort of is, right, Like

1725
01:23:39,159 --> 01:23:42,239
everyone has been going on their little diatribes of like, well,

1726
01:23:42,319 --> 01:23:44,640
this little niche thing will be effected, like obviously all

1727
01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:47,880
that will happen. I think it's the it's just reinforcing

1728
01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:51,000
this notion of just no ownership, right and and and

1729
01:23:51,039 --> 01:23:54,279
obviously you have all of the like cultural gaming knock

1730
01:23:54,319 --> 01:23:57,079
on effects that that directly impacts, right with like discovery

1731
01:23:57,159 --> 01:23:59,840
and and and and just like people who don't have

1732
01:23:59,880 --> 01:24:03,960
the material means of like buying a brand new game

1733
01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:05,800
when it comes out, right, Like just things like that,

1734
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:09,600
Like the whole sort of economy of games is directly

1735
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:12,039
impacted by this. But I do think it does all

1736
01:24:12,079 --> 01:24:16,720
just start from the thing that everyone who enjoys, you know,

1737
01:24:18,119 --> 01:24:20,880
this type of media, just like you just don't own anything.

1738
01:24:21,359 --> 01:24:24,680
And that's just what it is. You own nothing. You

1739
01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:28,000
own nothing, and you will continue to own nothing, and

1740
01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:31,960
things will be ripped from your digital ownership in the

1741
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:35,640
blink of an eye, against your will. And if you

1742
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:38,840
didn't read the four thousand pages of TOS fine print,

1743
01:24:39,279 --> 01:24:45,079
you're a piece of shit. It's completely anti consumer, completely

1744
01:24:45,359 --> 01:24:49,520
in the look. It's a systemic issue. The system is

1745
01:24:49,640 --> 01:24:55,159
not built for the consumer. We have allowed our version

1746
01:24:55,319 --> 01:24:58,560
of capitalism to fester in such a way that it

1747
01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:04,199
rewards profit over people. And that is it. So everyone

1748
01:25:04,199 --> 01:25:07,880
could get mad at every sort of section of you know,

1749
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:13,079
capitalism that impacts them, whether it's the insurance or medical

1750
01:25:13,079 --> 01:25:17,520
care or whatever it is. There's one common enemy and

1751
01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:20,760
that's it. And the sooner you realize what we all

1752
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:25,760
have to be in arms about, in revolutionary spirit about,

1753
01:25:26,079 --> 01:25:27,399
it ain't gonna fucking change.

1754
01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:28,640
Speaker 2: And that's what it comes down.

1755
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:31,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, well yeah, And it's important here to note that

1756
01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:36,039
you're right with it's profitability over people. That's what's happening

1757
01:25:36,039 --> 01:25:38,439
with Xbox with that new story, That's what happens here

1758
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:41,000
with PlayStation with this news story as well. It's important

1759
01:25:41,039 --> 01:25:43,760
to note that the big thing here is that you know,

1760
01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:47,720
it's not for PlayStation. It's not about the ability to

1761
01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:50,399
take away your game that you purchase from them. It's

1762
01:25:50,399 --> 01:25:52,119
not like and some people are like you know, a

1763
01:25:52,159 --> 01:25:54,399
position it that way of like you know, they intentionally

1764
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:57,600
want to do the evil thing, no, because they know

1765
01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:00,359
that people will frown upon that and they don't want

1766
01:26:00,399 --> 01:26:03,439
to do it. This for them is about controlling the market.

1767
01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:06,239
They don't want consumers to have any choice in the matter.

1768
01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:08,680
And if you don't have a choice, you have to

1769
01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:12,319
go to the only game in town, literally and right here,

1770
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:15,720
this is the PlayStation Digital Store because they got rid

1771
01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:19,560
of the ability to buy codes for specific games back

1772
01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:23,760
in twenty nineteen. You can't buy, you know, a code

1773
01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:26,840
for I don't know, Spider Man two or whatever. You

1774
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:29,359
can't buy that on a gift card at Walmart or whatever.

1775
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:30,079
Speaker 1: You need to.

1776
01:26:30,039 --> 01:26:33,720
Speaker 5: Buy a PlayStation store gift card and use that or

1777
01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:37,000
give that to someone and then redeem that balance to

1778
01:26:37,079 --> 01:26:39,199
then purchase a game. You have to do things the

1779
01:26:39,239 --> 01:26:43,159
way PlayStation says, and physical in the modern age was

1780
01:26:43,199 --> 01:26:46,159
always the deterrent against that. We had the ability to

1781
01:26:46,159 --> 01:26:48,439
go to use game stores, to go on eBay, to

1782
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:50,600
trade them with our friends, to do whatever the hell

1783
01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:52,720
we want with our physical games. Because even if there

1784
01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:55,319
are still DRM discs, you know, it's at a physical

1785
01:26:55,399 --> 01:26:58,039
object you can hold and transfer and that's why we

1786
01:26:58,119 --> 01:27:00,920
have the ability to set prices the way we want to.

1787
01:27:01,279 --> 01:27:03,479
But that's what they are taking away from us because

1788
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:06,399
they want full control of the ability to set prices

1789
01:27:06,399 --> 01:27:09,239
and everything like that. And that sucks because now the

1790
01:27:09,319 --> 01:27:13,319
console is gonna just become a more lockdown PC at

1791
01:27:13,319 --> 01:27:15,319
the end of the day. Which you know, the reason

1792
01:27:15,359 --> 01:27:18,720
we like PC is because it's an open platform. Sure,

1793
01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:21,560
a lot of us choose to do Steam, choose to

1794
01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:24,119
like have our Steam libraries, you know, of a sense

1795
01:27:24,159 --> 01:27:26,800
of like, oh, Valve provides a good product, I will

1796
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:29,079
give them money exchange for a good product. But there's

1797
01:27:29,119 --> 01:27:33,119
always that knowledge there. It's a PC. We can pirate

1798
01:27:33,239 --> 01:27:36,920
the games, like if they fuck up, we'll go elsewhere.

1799
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:39,359
We'll say no. We can for a lot of these games,

1800
01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:41,720
especially the smaller ones, the indie games, we can go

1801
01:27:41,760 --> 01:27:44,960
to gog we can download from an itch dot io page.

1802
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:46,960
We can go to the developers directly from their own

1803
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:50,680
damn website sometimes and download an exse. There's other options

1804
01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:53,800
available to us. Let alone the openness of like emulation

1805
01:27:53,920 --> 01:27:56,039
step by and I'm not even talking about that, just

1806
01:27:56,079 --> 01:27:58,960
the fact that Valve provides a service where we can

1807
01:27:59,039 --> 01:28:02,000
trade Steam key, you know, back and forth, and authorized

1808
01:28:02,039 --> 01:28:04,760
resellers exist, so there is a free market for that.

1809
01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:06,920
There is an open market for that. And that's what

1810
01:28:07,159 --> 01:28:10,119
physical games were for the console, and they're taking that away.

1811
01:28:10,159 --> 01:28:12,600
They're taking that choice away and locking things down, and

1812
01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:15,319
that just sucks for everybody, including the digital only people,

1813
01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:17,560
because now you're just gonna have to do a PlayStation, says,

1814
01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:18,840
and you have zero choice in the mare.

1815
01:28:19,359 --> 01:28:22,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, at least those savings from not having to

1816
01:28:22,239 --> 01:28:25,359
manufacture all these discs, and that's going to be passed

1817
01:28:25,399 --> 01:28:29,800
on to consumers right following totally. Yeah, boy, it's just

1818
01:28:31,159 --> 01:28:33,840
again that next console generation poy. Is that going to

1819
01:28:33,880 --> 01:28:36,039
be interesting to see how that does because the PlayStation

1820
01:28:36,319 --> 01:28:38,760
six is probably not going to have a disk drive

1821
01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:40,319
certainly not going to come with and when they're not

1822
01:28:40,319 --> 01:28:42,439
going to be making discs anymore by the time this

1823
01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:45,479
thing is out there, So that's that's pissed people off.

1824
01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:48,800
Could be incredibly expensive, probably one thousand dollars or more,

1825
01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:52,359
and there's just there just aren't going to be that

1826
01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:54,600
many exclusives. There are few in fear all the time.

1827
01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:58,199
The last big PlayStation studio exclusive, let's not forgetting something

1828
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:00,840
was sorrows and that feels that feels like a hot

1829
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:03,920
moment ago, doesn't it doesn't that feel like sometimes like

1830
01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:07,239
the reason why we used to like these home consoles is,

1831
01:29:07,279 --> 01:29:09,079
you know, the the ease of use to plug in

1832
01:29:09,439 --> 01:29:12,600
and play. They were a lot cheaper than computers, and

1833
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:15,199
they would get a lot of exclusives, And now like

1834
01:29:16,680 --> 01:29:18,359
a lot of that is just becoming less true. The

1835
01:29:18,399 --> 01:29:20,920
plug and play stuff is still a big deal, and

1836
01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:23,279
maybe you can argue, hey, compared to getting comparable PC

1837
01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:29,279
still is technically cheaper, I guess, But it's just it's

1838
01:29:29,319 --> 01:29:32,720
beginning to just lose that battle where I wonder how

1839
01:29:32,720 --> 01:29:35,720
many people are going to put up with it for

1840
01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:38,039
for for much longer. It's it's gonna be so interesting

1841
01:29:38,079 --> 01:29:41,600
to see if a PlayStation six is still going to

1842
01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:46,560
manage to be a success sort of despite all of this. Yeah,

1843
01:29:46,720 --> 01:29:47,479
I mean, it'd be one.

1844
01:29:47,600 --> 01:29:51,119
Speaker 1: It would be one thing again, if all of these

1845
01:29:51,119 --> 01:29:56,720
companies were just losing everything, right, if that is a

1846
01:29:56,760 --> 01:30:02,239
big part of it. It would also be something if

1847
01:30:02,319 --> 01:30:06,640
like I don't know, at the very very least, there

1848
01:30:06,760 --> 01:30:11,720
was some sort of like plan to preserve the cultural

1849
01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:17,239
nuances of what physical media did provide people right, like, oh,

1850
01:30:17,359 --> 01:30:22,239
you can share this thing, or you can discount a thing,

1851
01:30:22,319 --> 01:30:24,600
or you know what I mean, like trying to emulate

1852
01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:28,720
some of that behavior, that economic behavior that you know,

1853
01:30:28,800 --> 01:30:32,680
physical media provided people. But there's just none of that.

1854
01:30:33,039 --> 01:30:35,560
Speaker 2: It's just fucking over.

1855
01:30:35,479 --> 01:30:37,680
Speaker 5: And they at least need a plan for people to

1856
01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:39,800
be able to use their physical library in some way,

1857
01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:42,000
shape or form, which currently they don't. And so the

1858
01:30:42,039 --> 01:30:45,119
PS six doesn't have a disk drive while your discs

1859
01:30:45,119 --> 01:30:48,279
are just coasters. Now that sucks. So maybe that's one

1860
01:30:48,399 --> 01:30:50,319
reason people won't buy a PS six is if it

1861
01:30:50,359 --> 01:30:53,319
can't play a disc. I mean, there's always the possibility

1862
01:30:53,399 --> 01:30:55,479
that the ad on drive can be used for the

1863
01:30:55,479 --> 01:30:57,720
PS six or there's an external drive. I feel like

1864
01:30:57,720 --> 01:30:59,960
they should have said that if that were the case

1865
01:31:00,159 --> 01:31:02,159
right now. So it seems like there's not a plan

1866
01:31:02,239 --> 01:31:04,439
for that. I bounce see it in the rundown here.

1867
01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:07,720
But there's that rumor going around. I think Tom Warren

1868
01:31:07,840 --> 01:31:10,640
report on it that Xbox is getting ready to do

1869
01:31:11,119 --> 01:31:13,439
their own like disc to digital. That's literally what they

1870
01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:16,119
call it. Plan from now on, when you pop an

1871
01:31:16,199 --> 01:31:19,880
Xbox one or Series disc into an Xbox, it'll credit

1872
01:31:19,920 --> 01:31:22,680
your account with a digital version, so you are basically

1873
01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:24,760
digitizing the disc and then if, like you give the

1874
01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:28,000
disc to someone else, well then their account gets that

1875
01:31:28,039 --> 01:31:30,920
credit instead, it gets transferred, and at least that's some

1876
01:31:31,079 --> 01:31:33,800
way to like, if we're moving into an all digital future, yeah,

1877
01:31:33,840 --> 01:31:36,640
like give me something for my physical games I've built

1878
01:31:36,680 --> 01:31:38,840
up over the year. And that's part of why people

1879
01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:41,119
are pissed off is the sense of like, oh, so

1880
01:31:41,199 --> 01:31:44,720
we're going into an era PlayStation where my pass is

1881
01:31:44,760 --> 01:31:47,800
meaningless because I chose physical, Well, then you've lost me

1882
01:31:47,840 --> 01:31:51,199
as a customer, and that really sucks, especially we ain't

1883
01:31:51,239 --> 01:31:53,000
even mentioned. This came out the same day as they

1884
01:31:53,039 --> 01:31:55,760
announced they were shutting down store fronts like the PS

1885
01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:58,479
three and the Vita store going away. And sure, you

1886
01:31:58,520 --> 01:32:01,439
can still redownload games you've perched, but people are still

1887
01:32:01,439 --> 01:32:04,239
going to be making YouTube videos, still recommending games to

1888
01:32:04,239 --> 01:32:06,239
their friends, and you won't be able to download those

1889
01:32:06,239 --> 01:32:08,800
games in the future. It sets a bad precedent. Even

1890
01:32:08,840 --> 01:32:12,119
if that's old tech that would be difficult to maintain.

1891
01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:15,319
The fact is that, like, if you can't redownload a

1892
01:32:15,359 --> 01:32:18,359
PlayStation game and there's at least one platform or that's true,

1893
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:21,439
it doesn't give me hope for like, you know, twenty

1894
01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:23,159
years from now, will I even be able to like

1895
01:32:23,199 --> 01:32:24,680
download PS four games.

1896
01:32:25,319 --> 01:32:30,680
Speaker 1: It really does remind me of you know that time

1897
01:32:30,760 --> 01:32:34,560
where like everyone you know that E three video with

1898
01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:36,600
the with the here's how you're share a pea?

1899
01:32:36,720 --> 01:32:37,039
Speaker 2: What was.

1900
01:32:39,479 --> 01:32:43,520
Speaker 5: Before that came out at one moment, right.

1901
01:32:43,359 --> 01:32:46,199
Speaker 1: And again it's the team sports of it all again, right,

1902
01:32:46,319 --> 01:32:50,119
Like I don't know, I very vividly remember seeing that

1903
01:32:50,239 --> 01:32:53,800
video being like, fuck these guys. Also the second it

1904
01:32:53,840 --> 01:32:56,640
becomes feasible, they'll stop doing it too, Like it's not

1905
01:32:56,760 --> 01:32:59,039
you know what I mean, Like, what are you stupid?

1906
01:32:59,279 --> 01:33:01,800
What are you fucking illusion? You don't think you think

1907
01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:04,760
this is they're making good. They're they're there's a they're

1908
01:33:04,840 --> 01:33:08,880
playing a charity here because they love pas back of

1909
01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:12,680
your fucking mind. There they are bers. They said that

1910
01:33:13,239 --> 01:33:16,840
they hate you. You are just a wallet. You are

1911
01:33:16,920 --> 01:33:20,680
just a PayPal address to them. They fucking hate you

1912
01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:23,720
and don't care about you. And that video is spitting

1913
01:33:23,720 --> 01:33:26,399
the face, is slapping the face. It wasn't that long ago.

1914
01:33:28,119 --> 01:33:31,880
Speaker 2: Uh hey, let's not make Nintendo feel left out here

1915
01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:36,239
and start selling the Nintendo Switch in Europe In twenty

1916
01:33:36,319 --> 01:33:39,560
twenty seven, that's a Jeordan Miller at VGC Nintendo of

1917
01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:41,960
Europe and announced has announced that it will stop selling

1918
01:33:42,239 --> 01:33:44,640
the original Switch consoles in early twenty twice seven, after

1919
01:33:44,680 --> 01:33:47,000
which point retailers won't be able to order an new

1920
01:33:47,039 --> 01:33:50,720
stock of the entire Switch family of consoles. Uh. This

1921
01:33:50,760 --> 01:33:52,479
is because the tenants announced that Layer this year will

1922
01:33:52,479 --> 01:33:55,880
begin selling then Tennis switch to consoles and accessories replaceable

1923
01:33:56,039 --> 01:33:59,439
batteries in Europe and twenty twenty three, the European Union

1924
01:33:59,439 --> 01:34:03,760
passed a new regulation called the EU Batteries Legislation, which

1925
01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:06,800
requires consumer products with built in batteries to make these

1926
01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:11,800
batteries easily removable and replaceable starting for twenty twenty seven.

1927
01:34:11,800 --> 01:34:17,279
So yes, there's this new European Union regulation where electronics

1928
01:34:17,319 --> 01:34:21,319
have to have easily removable and replaceable batteries. Some of

1929
01:34:21,359 --> 01:34:24,760
the town's going to bother, you know, making switch to

1930
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:29,079
consoles and accessories like joy cons do that. They're belly

1931
01:34:29,119 --> 01:34:31,079
aching about that. They're like, oh, these things are going

1932
01:34:31,159 --> 01:34:33,439
to be heavier and a byyl is not going to

1933
01:34:33,479 --> 01:34:36,119
be as good blah blah. But for the Switch one,

1934
01:34:36,119 --> 01:34:37,600
they're not going to bother to kind of make new

1935
01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:39,800
versions of those they're just going to stop selling that

1936
01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:45,079
console in Europe. Yeah. Interesting stuff.

1937
01:34:45,119 --> 01:34:47,760
Speaker 5: Eh, this one is at least a yeah that makes

1938
01:34:47,760 --> 01:34:52,079
sense moment of well, yeah, law by law, they kind

1939
01:34:52,079 --> 01:34:54,399
of have to do this. It's either make a new

1940
01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:58,399
Nintendo Switch and you know, the twenty seventeen hardware, or

1941
01:34:58,720 --> 01:35:01,399
just stop selling the mis that most people aren't gonna

1942
01:35:01,399 --> 01:35:05,039
be buying anymore. And you know, it's a sucks a

1943
01:35:05,039 --> 01:35:07,479
little bit because people do still buy like switch lights

1944
01:35:07,479 --> 01:35:10,840
and whatnot here and there as a cheaper way could use.

1945
01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:13,119
Speaker 2: A budget console in the world, right now, right.

1946
01:35:13,279 --> 01:35:15,840
Speaker 5: Sure, we're good. Yeah, Like, hopefully the switch to light

1947
01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:18,560
comes out sooner rather than later. But even a switch

1948
01:35:18,640 --> 01:35:21,880
to light is probably gonna be like minimum three hundred dollars, right,

1949
01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:22,720
it's probably close.

1950
01:35:24,640 --> 01:35:24,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1951
01:35:25,159 --> 01:35:28,479
Speaker 1: So the size of that screen or what it's made of,

1952
01:35:28,880 --> 01:35:30,720
I don't want to know anything about that.

1953
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:31,760
Speaker 2: Right, it's just lab boat.

1954
01:35:31,760 --> 01:35:36,479
Speaker 1: It's it's it's gonna be cardboard switch, it's gonna be

1955
01:35:36,479 --> 01:35:40,239
black and white. It'll be like a kindle uh situation.

1956
01:35:40,479 --> 01:35:42,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be it'll be super neat. But you could

1957
01:35:42,720 --> 01:35:44,880
replace the batteries. There's that.

1958
01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:45,319
Speaker 5: That's good.

1959
01:35:45,960 --> 01:35:49,039
Speaker 2: That's good. Uh. And then one last thing here. I

1960
01:35:49,119 --> 01:35:52,279
think last week before all the uh you know, the

1961
01:35:52,359 --> 01:35:55,439
layoffs in the studio splitting off to day happened, we

1962
01:35:55,560 --> 01:35:58,720
learned U that Xbox sort of pulled Becketts funding for

1963
01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:02,880
Project Fantasy with with Io Interactive. Well now Io has

1964
01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:06,520
confirmed that it will continue Project Fantasy independently. Also by

1965
01:36:06,560 --> 01:36:09,840
Jordy Miller VGC IO Interactive is confirmed we'll continue working

1966
01:36:09,880 --> 01:36:13,279
in Project Fantasy after the edit its financial partnership with Microsoft.

1967
01:36:13,920 --> 01:36:17,079
Project Fantasy is an RPG has been development for some

1968
01:36:17,119 --> 01:36:20,520
time at Io Interactive. Last week and MISSINCERTAINI at Microsoft's

1969
01:36:20,720 --> 01:36:23,000
which this week led to thousands of job cuts, Io

1970
01:36:23,039 --> 01:36:26,319
announced that it has ended its relationship with the financial

1971
01:36:26,359 --> 01:36:30,760
backer Project Fantasy, later confirmed to be Microsoft, not a statement.

1972
01:36:30,880 --> 01:36:33,479
The Double seven first Look developers confirmed will continue working

1973
01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:35,720
on the project. This is a quote now following the

1974
01:36:35,800 --> 01:36:39,319
end of our external finance partnership and Project fanacy IOI,

1975
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:41,720
as we're gainful wanners shop with the project and RIP

1976
01:36:42,239 --> 01:36:46,439
we could see develop and fund it independently amongst our

1977
01:36:46,960 --> 01:36:50,760
other projects. With this context, we had to find a

1978
01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:52,840
new balance for the long term future of the studio,

1979
01:36:53,239 --> 01:36:55,880
focus on the success of our main internal core titles

1980
01:36:56,039 --> 01:36:58,800
wherever I heard that before. Instead of external projects a

1981
01:36:58,920 --> 01:37:03,640
potential mob game derivatives, this is meant making changes as

1982
01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:06,520
well as proposing changes across our studios, the closer over

1983
01:37:06,680 --> 01:37:09,680
Istanbul Studio and starting a process to part ways with

1984
01:37:09,800 --> 01:37:13,319
colleagues that have been a meaningful part of what IOI

1985
01:37:13,760 --> 01:37:16,600
uh is. So yeah, there have been there's still have

1986
01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:19,560
been a job losses and they close down a whole

1987
01:37:19,760 --> 01:37:23,079
studio over there, but they are still going forward with

1988
01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:29,640
Project Fantasy on their own. So, but it'd be pretty

1989
01:37:29,640 --> 01:37:32,880
funny at this game with some giant hit I'm.

1990
01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:35,079
Speaker 5: Kind of curious what it would be at this point

1991
01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:38,079
because I don't know does io I have a history

1992
01:37:38,079 --> 01:37:40,760
of anything like this, Like obviously they're known for hit Man,

1993
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:43,359
which led it to Ales, and I don't remember anything

1994
01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:44,319
like this from them.

1995
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:47,199
Speaker 2: No, that's the scary thing, right, It breaks a little

1996
01:37:47,279 --> 01:37:52,600
bit of the freaking uh Detroit. Two human people making

1997
01:37:52,640 --> 01:37:56,319
a live service game, right like, Oh, this isn't exactly that,

1998
01:37:56,359 --> 01:38:01,079
this is just some big RPG. It's out of their wheelhouse. Yeah,

1999
01:38:01,119 --> 01:38:06,239
they make good stuff, right, but again, Bond that seemed

2000
01:38:06,239 --> 01:38:09,600
in their wheelhouse that was similar enough to a hit Man,

2001
01:38:09,640 --> 01:38:11,760
And they've been trying other things, like you know, they

2002
01:38:11,920 --> 01:38:13,840
try to become a publishing arm and what was their

2003
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:21,720
big game that they published, Mind's Eye. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

2004
01:38:22,279 --> 01:38:25,760
So we'll see about Project Fancy. I'm not even sure

2005
01:38:25,800 --> 01:38:28,640
like how RPG is it is. We don't really know

2006
01:38:29,239 --> 01:38:31,359
very many details about this thing. It's just something they

2007
01:38:31,399 --> 01:38:36,199
talked about and again Microsoft was funding it and they

2008
01:38:36,399 --> 01:38:38,199
pulled back from that as a part of this their

2009
01:38:38,359 --> 01:38:43,600
very large scale downsizing, right, still going to reach a billion.

2010
01:38:43,720 --> 01:38:46,319
Speaker 5: This is a good example of, like, yeah, how far

2011
01:38:46,520 --> 01:38:50,079
reaching it is when a company that's as massive as

2012
01:38:50,119 --> 01:38:53,640
you know, Xbox Slash, Microsoft has become. It's a trickle

2013
01:38:53,680 --> 01:38:55,760
down effect of these partnerships are now going to peter

2014
01:38:55,880 --> 01:38:59,000
out and people are gonna have issues maintaining things because

2015
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:02,640
they were banking on publisher money and whatnot. So that

2016
01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:05,880
really sucks. You know, I'm glad that they can keep

2017
01:39:05,920 --> 01:39:08,039
things going in any way they can, like we saw

2018
01:39:08,119 --> 01:39:10,720
with the Xbox studios that are able to go independent

2019
01:39:10,800 --> 01:39:15,279
or anything like that, thank god. But it does suck

2020
01:39:15,359 --> 01:39:18,079
that layoffs were involved here as well, because you know,

2021
01:39:18,159 --> 01:39:21,760
they have to like make something smaller, they have to like, yeah,

2022
01:39:22,439 --> 01:39:25,600
maintain things in a smaller way. That is really unfortunate.

2023
01:39:26,239 --> 01:39:28,720
Speaker 1: I think in the on the other side of the

2024
01:39:28,840 --> 01:39:33,399
Xbox clusterfuck and things like this is VIOLI. I am

2025
01:39:33,479 --> 01:39:36,600
just curious to like where the money is coming from, right, Like,

2026
01:39:36,640 --> 01:39:40,359
there does seem to be signs that there's money out there,

2027
01:39:40,640 --> 01:39:45,199
right and some of these places are either you know,

2028
01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:48,800
transferring their sort of bankrolling or whatever it is. I'm

2029
01:39:48,880 --> 01:39:50,800
very curious, and I'm sure there will be reporting that

2030
01:39:50,880 --> 01:39:57,279
sort of elucidates all that. But yeah, I I'm very

2031
01:39:57,359 --> 01:39:59,279
curious as to like where.

2032
01:39:59,079 --> 01:40:00,960
Speaker 2: Everyone's bread is gonna get buttered.

2033
01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:03,840
Speaker 5: You know, hopefully it's not relying on companies like ten

2034
01:40:03,960 --> 01:40:07,000
Cent and stuff too much, because we've seen how those relationships.

2035
01:40:07,079 --> 01:40:09,920
Speaker 2: Have you heard of Saudi Arabia? Ah?

2036
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:12,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're hand out on my left and right, I hear,

2037
01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:13,399
I say.

2038
01:40:15,560 --> 01:40:20,359
Speaker 2: Continue forever. All right, that's it for the news. I

2039
01:40:20,359 --> 01:40:23,199
am hating the show. Beck over to you, mister. Maybe

2040
01:40:23,199 --> 01:40:25,520
I don't want it, but.

2041
01:40:27,279 --> 01:40:31,800
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm gonna just serve you in no reversal card

2042
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:33,640
and say nope, it's yours.

2043
01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:35,199
Speaker 2: Now you have to deal with it.

2044
01:40:35,199 --> 01:40:39,279
Speaker 1: It's your problem. Okay, We're gonna take a break. Thank

2045
01:40:39,279 --> 01:40:41,359
you for bearing with us through that news obviously that

2046
01:40:41,399 --> 01:40:44,159
news is very heavy, and you know we're in this together.

2047
01:40:44,239 --> 01:40:48,439
Here on the other side, we're gonna have emails, uh,

2048
01:40:48,520 --> 01:40:52,279

Speaker 3: Is that soccer?

2056
01:41:24,439 --> 01:41:27,279
Speaker 1: It's football, but yes, that's Americans call it soccer.

2057

Speaker 4: I'm I'm I'm in America and I have no opinions

Speaker 2: But your Belgian I don't care. Oh you don't care.

2060
01:41:37,039 --> 01:41:39,479
Speaker 4: You're possibly care less about anything that's ever happened in

2061
01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:44,520
soccer interest and anything that's ever had about the Belgium part,

2062
01:41:44,680 --> 01:41:47,199
Like about the Belgian part, That's what I'm talking about,

2063
01:41:47,920 --> 01:41:48,239
has not.

2064
01:41:48,199 --> 01:41:48,920

Speaker 4: Me too, Oh yeah, like Belgium in general. I just

2068
01:41:56,760 --> 01:41:58,079
don't care about the soccer part.

2069
01:41:58,760 --> 01:41:59,960
Speaker 2: Got it? Got it?

2080
01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:34,239

01:42:34,439 --> 01:42:35,520

2082
01:42:35,720 --> 01:42:39,359
Speaker 1: What a what a what a gem? Okay, we're going

2083
01:42:39,439 --> 01:42:44,199
to go through some emails. This one is from Ransom

2084
01:42:44,239 --> 01:42:47,000
from Pittsburgh. The question is for Jeff Grubb and Mike Manati.

2085
01:42:47,079 --> 01:42:48,840
So Man, now you're gonna do all the heavy lifting here.

2086
01:42:49,199 --> 01:42:53,640
Kroger just bought Giant Eagle. I don't know any of

2087
01:42:53,640 --> 01:42:57,479
these words are as o Hians. I need to know

2088
01:42:57,680 --> 01:43:03,760
if Kroger is a good grocery store or am I screwed? Thanks,

2089
01:43:04,199 --> 01:43:06,119
love you guys, and keep up the amazing work. Maybe

2090
01:43:06,199 --> 01:43:08,000
Dan coul chim in two with his grocery knowledge.

2091
01:43:09,119 --> 01:43:12,279
Speaker 2: This is so giin Eagle is the grocery store chain

2092
01:43:12,319 --> 01:43:14,640
that we have here, at least in northeast Ohio, and

2093
01:43:14,680 --> 01:43:18,199
I think a good amount of Western PA. And they

2094
01:43:18,359 --> 01:43:21,720
just got bought by Kroger, which is a bigger grocery

2095
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:25,079
chain store. I mean, look, I don't. I don't think

2096
01:43:25,119 --> 01:43:27,920
John Eagle was like exceptional at being a grocery store.

2097
01:43:27,960 --> 01:43:30,199
It was a grocery store. I think they're going to

2098
01:43:30,279 --> 01:43:33,479
keep the name giin Eagle as well, but I don't know.

2099
01:43:33,760 --> 01:43:36,159
I mean it's consolidation and all that, so that that

2100
01:43:36,319 --> 01:43:39,920
part's bad. I don't think our grocery experience is going

2101
01:43:39,960 --> 01:43:44,279
to notably change too much. Who knows everything ends up

2102
01:43:44,279 --> 01:43:48,039
being bad anyways. Somehow it will get worse that the

2103
01:43:48,239 --> 01:43:52,800
fucking Battle Royale for your bread now whatever. WHOA.

2104
01:43:52,960 --> 01:43:54,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's that bad yet, but yeah,

2105
01:43:54,600 --> 01:43:55,479
I'll go ahead, John.

2106
01:43:55,359 --> 01:43:57,520
Speaker 5: Are our chain of stores in Wisconsin got bought by

2107
01:43:57,560 --> 01:44:01,880
Kroger quite a while ago, is back now something. Yeah,

2108
01:44:02,039 --> 01:44:07,920
So you know it's I know Kroger is not good company,

2109
01:44:07,960 --> 01:44:11,600
and like I've talked to like an executive in passing

2110
01:44:11,640 --> 01:44:14,680
one time, I was like, oh, yeah, you all suck, huh.

2111
01:44:14,840 --> 01:44:18,239
But in terms of like the grocery shopping experience, Kroger

2112
01:44:18,279 --> 01:44:20,920
actually has like some good store brands stuff and everything

2113
01:44:21,279 --> 01:44:24,359
they brought in, Like I did see more products than

2114
01:44:24,399 --> 01:44:26,800
I was used to lining the shelves when we had

2115
01:44:26,840 --> 01:44:29,439
our own various We had a couple of different like

2116
01:44:29,520 --> 01:44:32,760
store brands at our stores because of other mergers, but

2117
01:44:33,359 --> 01:44:36,520
at least like buying groceries, it's been good the past

2118
01:44:37,079 --> 01:44:40,479
decades since it happened. So I feel like you'll be

2119
01:44:40,520 --> 01:44:44,079
all right. I am personally, I would be more worried

2120
01:44:44,119 --> 01:44:46,680
about the workers at the store if they have to

2121
01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:49,800
deal with that shit of like they're potentially bunding things

2122
01:44:49,880 --> 01:44:52,720
up in a different way and maybe like there's so yeah,

2123
01:44:52,760 --> 01:44:56,279
it's just some strictness in terms of hours and stuff.

2124
01:44:56,279 --> 01:44:58,960
That's what we saw. But it's also been a long

2125
01:44:59,039 --> 01:45:01,600
time since I at a firsthand information that. So I

2126
01:45:01,880 --> 01:45:03,760
think you think you'll be fine.

2127
01:45:04,680 --> 01:45:07,560
Speaker 1: I'm genuinely genuinely interested to hear with Dan things because yeah,

2128
01:45:07,640 --> 01:45:11,000
all kidding said, you've lived everywhere in the country, You've

2129
01:45:11,039 --> 01:45:12,840
lived on both coasts in the middle.

2130
01:45:13,439 --> 01:45:17,840
Speaker 2: Uh, what's your after everything you've seen.

2131
01:45:18,039 --> 01:45:23,279
Speaker 1: What is your most uh what is your top s

2132
01:45:23,359 --> 01:45:24,760
tier grocery store?

2133
01:45:25,439 --> 01:45:31,880
Speaker 4: I don't go to a lot I uh yeah.

2134
01:45:29,520 --> 01:45:33,039
Speaker 2: Okay, Aaron Amazon Deliveries kind of guy.

2135
01:45:33,119 --> 01:45:34,359
Speaker 3: I's kind of done that forever.

2136
01:45:35,159 --> 01:45:37,479
Speaker 4: I'll say, I like Cub when I'm at the Cub

2137
01:45:37,520 --> 01:45:40,920
in Minneapolis, that I cup foods is good. That's that's

2138
01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:44,439
the one around here. Back in Kansas, it's Ivan price shopper.

2139
01:45:44,920 --> 01:45:46,359
Speaker 3: Those are good. My dad worked at both of those

2140
01:45:46,399 --> 01:45:47,640
after Riker's Market closed.

2141
01:45:48,239 --> 01:45:52,279
Speaker 4: Okay, I hated grocery shopping in San Francisco and New York.

2142
01:45:52,760 --> 01:45:52,880
Speaker 2: Uh.

2143
01:45:53,119 --> 01:45:55,319
Speaker 4: San Francisco parking is a giant pain in the ass.

2144
01:45:55,319 --> 01:45:56,840
In New York, it's like you can only buy what

2145
01:45:56,880 --> 01:45:58,600
you can carry, and like, as someone who buys like

2146
01:45:58,640 --> 01:46:00,920
two hundred cans of soda at a time, that makes

2147
01:46:00,920 --> 01:46:02,840
it kind of hard in New York City to carry

2148
01:46:02,880 --> 01:46:03,079
all that.

2149
01:46:03,239 --> 01:46:07,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, but that's a that's less uh an experienced

2150
01:46:07,960 --> 01:46:10,239
thing and more just like a logistical thing we have.

2151
01:46:10,279 --> 01:46:12,680
Speaker 4: But also the grocery stores themselves, Like in New York

2152
01:46:12,680 --> 01:46:15,000
they're all small and like weirdly laid out, and like

2153
01:46:15,039 --> 01:46:16,920
I remember when we moved to Connecticut and got a

2154
01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:19,399
car again, just that feeling of being able to drive

2155
01:46:19,479 --> 01:46:22,760
to the grocery store park go, get a big ass

2156
01:46:22,800 --> 01:46:25,600
cart with big white aisles, grab everything you want and

2157
01:46:25,600 --> 01:46:27,119
then put it in a trunk. It was like, oh

2158
01:46:27,119 --> 01:46:29,239
my god, I missed this, Like this actually is like

2159
01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:30,600
a really great way to do it.

2160
01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:33,479
Speaker 5: I was about to make fun of you for a

2161
01:46:33,520 --> 01:46:35,079
cup and then I'm like, oh, wait, you still have

2162
01:46:35,279 --> 01:46:36,840
those because I was like, oh, the last time you

2163
01:46:36,840 --> 01:46:38,800
went to a grocery store was twenty five years ago.

2164
01:46:38,920 --> 01:46:40,960
Speaker 4: Nope, that was j Wisconsin forgot. Oh no, no, yeah

2165
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:44,079
we got cub. Yeah, Cub's good. Rainbow's not here really anymore.

2166
01:46:44,239 --> 01:46:45,439
I don't see rainbow much anymore.

2167
01:46:46,960 --> 01:46:52,520
Speaker 2: Wiggly Yeah, Wiggly's because that's I'm saying that. Oh sorry, Mike,

2168
01:46:53,279 --> 01:46:55,680
what the fuck do you pig wiggly. I think it's

2169
01:46:55,720 --> 01:46:59,600
like the Carolina Yeah pig Wiggy had.

2170
01:46:59,560 --> 01:47:00,000
Speaker 5: When I can.

2171
01:47:01,840 --> 01:47:04,439
Speaker 1: Watched the South Show, and you're supposed to like go

2172
01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:06,680
into this place like in a serious manner.

2173
01:47:06,800 --> 01:47:09,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I go to pigley Wigglies after church today. Kids,

2174
01:47:09,960 --> 01:47:11,439
we need more milk and eggs.

2175
01:47:11,760 --> 01:47:14,039
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's different elsewhere, but any piggy

2176
01:47:14,039 --> 01:47:16,600
wiggly around here looks like it is still like in

2177
01:47:16,680 --> 01:47:19,520
the eighties, and it's it's almost kind of kind of nice,

2178
01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:21,039
like they keep it clean or everything. But I'm like,

2179
01:47:21,159 --> 01:47:24,079
man beige, as far as the eye can see, this

2180
01:47:24,199 --> 01:47:25,439
is a wild thing.

2181
01:47:25,680 --> 01:47:28,880
Speaker 2: Oh we have yes, have a yes, have marks no,

2182
01:47:29,439 --> 01:47:32,239
and with a mark with a C it's it is

2183
01:47:32,279 --> 01:47:35,199
more of like a discount grocery store, which is fine,

2184
01:47:35,359 --> 01:47:37,520
like they make they make it look really discount. They

2185
01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:42,119
like found the most piss yellow paint they could possibly

2186
01:47:42,199 --> 01:47:45,920
find and just use that the highlight everything and just

2187
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:50,279
paint watsh is covered in the least attractive decaying like

2188
01:47:50,439 --> 01:47:54,279
makes you think of death and despair yellow. I've ever

2189
01:47:54,319 --> 01:47:55,960
seen them. I just I can't. I don't like being

2190
01:47:55,960 --> 01:47:56,880
in Marx. I hate it.

2191
01:47:57,359 --> 01:47:59,319
Speaker 1: Who doesn't like a good piss yellow though?

2192
01:48:00,760 --> 01:48:02,640
Speaker 4: I like any place that has the deals and you

2193
01:48:02,680 --> 01:48:05,439
don't have to get the card, you know, but.

2194
01:48:05,399 --> 01:48:08,600
Speaker 2: I would big spantaged card place. Yeah, I definitely use

2195
01:48:08,680 --> 01:48:09,199
the card there.

2196
01:48:09,279 --> 01:48:11,079

it's like a Stu Leonards adjacent kind of fancy or place.

2212
01:48:52,880 --> 01:48:56,520
I feel like everything is just nuts with the the

2213
01:48:56,560 --> 01:48:58,079
pricing of whatnot and anything.

2214
01:48:58,319 --> 01:49:00,760
Speaker 2: I mean, what could have been out of cost pens?

01:49:46,119 --> 01:49:46,359
Speaker 7: Yeah.

2228
01:49:46,479 --> 01:49:48,079
Speaker 1: At least at least he went out happy.

2229
01:49:48,119 --> 01:49:56,880
Speaker 4: Hello, Hello, Hello, Hi, Hi, you're back okay, Gondele gang Grel.

2230
01:49:56,960 --> 01:49:59,119
He's always banging and banging. He's the fucking and sucking

2231
01:49:59,199 --> 01:50:00,000
vampire warrior.

2232
01:50:00,560 --> 01:50:01,840
Speaker 5: I wish da it wasn't back.

2233
01:50:02,520 --> 01:50:05,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, never mind banging and go out again.

2234
01:50:06,439 --> 01:50:10,800
Speaker 4: I like gang Gril time because it was my friend,

2235
01:50:10,880 --> 01:50:13,840
like Al Snow the best. I was just gonna say,

2236
01:50:13,840 --> 01:50:16,600
he is literally the only bad one on here.

2237
01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:17,319
Speaker 2: A Snow.

2238
01:50:17,479 --> 01:50:19,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, you just like him because the only one you've

2239
01:50:19,359 --> 01:50:20,840
heard of because he was in ec W during the

2240
01:50:20,880 --> 01:50:23,279
three weeks you watch rest a lot, right.

2241
01:50:23,279 --> 01:50:26,119
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, it was more than three weeks.

2242
01:50:26,479 --> 01:50:29,119
Is probably a total of three years.

2243
01:50:29,479 --> 01:50:34,560
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, isn't Brian Pillman the best one on here? Uh?

2244
01:50:34,600 --> 01:50:37,000
Speaker 4: He was the best character out of all of them.

2245
01:50:37,439 --> 01:50:40,000
I would say it might be mean. Mark Henry is

2246
01:50:40,039 --> 01:50:43,439
good as far as big, believable, big man, good on

2247
01:50:43,479 --> 01:50:43,800
the mic.

2248
01:50:43,920 --> 01:50:47,600
Speaker 2: Mark Henry's got that's that that salmon colored suit with

2249
01:50:47,640 --> 01:50:50,359
the favorite time. It was a great I was creditoryline moment.

2250
01:50:50,760 --> 01:50:52,600
Pilman's one of the more interesting ones for sure. I

2251
01:50:52,640 --> 01:50:54,399
mean that's the thing. The four other ones outside of

2252
01:50:54,399 --> 01:50:56,960
Al Snow are all maybe gang girl.

2253
01:50:57,079 --> 01:50:59,479
Speaker 1: Shot on Al Snow's We didn't like his gimmick.

2254
01:50:59,520 --> 01:51:02,920
Speaker 2: You like Snow dumas a dumb.

2255
01:51:03,000 --> 01:51:06,359
Speaker 4: I watched an Al Snow match yesterday Jeff where he

2256
01:51:06,439 --> 01:51:10,479
wrestled against head his mannequin head Hardcore Holly was the

2257
01:51:10,479 --> 01:51:13,600
special guest referee, and Al Snow thought that the head

2258
01:51:13,720 --> 01:51:16,279
was the hardcore champion and he had to wrestle it,

2259
01:51:16,319 --> 01:51:19,319
and he wrestled the whole match against a fucking mannequin head, And.

2260
01:51:19,319 --> 01:51:24,960
Speaker 2: Wow, wrestling sounds pretty stupid, sounds dumb. Let's answer this question.

2261
01:51:24,960 --> 01:51:25,960
Why did you watch that?

2262
01:51:27,680 --> 01:51:27,880
Speaker 4: Yeah?

2263
01:51:27,920 --> 01:51:29,359
Speaker 3: Well, watch anymore?

2264
01:51:29,399 --> 01:51:29,720
Speaker 2: All right?

2265
01:51:29,840 --> 01:51:34,079
Speaker 1: So okay, so thank you, Joe. Hopefully you received your

2266
01:51:34,119 --> 01:51:34,680
answer here.

2267
01:51:34,720 --> 01:51:35,199
Speaker 2: I think we did.

2268
01:51:35,640 --> 01:51:39,000
Speaker 4: Dog's awesome, dang, girl's cool, Al Snow sucks, Mark Henry

2269
01:51:39,039 --> 01:51:40,960
is awesome. Brian Pillman was a fascinating character.

2270
01:51:41,800 --> 01:51:43,720
Speaker 2: All right, There you have it. He had a gun.

2271
01:51:43,840 --> 01:51:49,039
Speaker 1: The expert himself, Uh, Travis from Fargo rights in this

2272
01:51:49,680 --> 01:51:52,199
is the guy who does like a bunch of watch.

2273
01:51:52,600 --> 01:51:53,359

01:51:53,479 --> 01:51:56,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Jan picked the second one. What's the cow

2275
01:51:56,800 --> 01:51:58,399
bell of video games?

2276
01:52:00,079 --> 01:52:03,359
Speaker 2: Oh? You need more of? People want more of. I

2277
01:52:03,359 --> 01:52:08,640
think that's it. Used to be parallax scrolling back when

2278
01:52:08,680 --> 01:52:14,680
we had more to d Jesus Christ. Active reload got more.

2279
01:52:14,680 --> 01:52:17,079
Parallax Scrolling's just enough Active reload.

2280
01:52:17,359 --> 01:52:19,359
Speaker 3: I want more. I want more.

2281
01:52:20,720 --> 01:52:21,119
Speaker 2: That's right.

2282
01:52:21,159 --> 01:52:23,319
Speaker 1: He has a fever and the only cure is more

2283
01:52:23,359 --> 01:52:24,000
active reading.

2284
01:52:24,560 --> 01:52:27,119
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, but I feel like it's more cow bell

2285
01:52:27,199 --> 01:52:32,279
and music than there is active reload and video games perrying, okay,

2286
01:52:32,399 --> 01:52:34,199
kind of like parrying. Yeah, it was hot.

2287
01:52:34,279 --> 01:52:36,600
Speaker 5: Everybody want more of it than a lot of people are.

2288
01:52:37,680 --> 01:52:39,399
Maybe it made too much, made too much.

2289
01:52:39,520 --> 01:52:42,880
Speaker 2: Don't grappling hooks grappling, that's good.

2290
01:52:43,600 --> 01:52:46,600
Speaker 1: About a decade ago, I would have said destructible environments.

2291
01:52:46,840 --> 01:52:50,840
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, I still like my parallax answer. I'm not

2292
01:52:50,840 --> 01:52:51,439
gonna lie.

2293
01:52:51,600 --> 01:52:52,600
Speaker 1: I think it's great.

2294
01:52:52,760 --> 01:52:56,439

01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:01,960
Speaker 1: This one comes from Nick in Queensland. Hey, bomb squad.

2297
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:04,760
I don't watch ball sports at all, but I do

2298
01:53:04,920 --> 01:53:08,039
like to play a football game every few years. I

2299
01:53:08,039 --> 01:53:10,319
think this year is American Football year for me, since

2300
01:53:10,319 --> 01:53:13,520
THEA now has two football games on PC as of

2301
01:53:13,560 --> 01:53:16,039
this year. I was wondering, do you guys think Madden

2302
01:53:16,159 --> 01:53:18,520
or College Football is a better game for someone like

2303
01:53:18,560 --> 01:53:21,720
me that doesn't watch the NFL or college football and

2304
01:53:21,880 --> 01:53:24,119
just wants to scratch that gaming inch of playing a

2305
01:53:24,199 --> 01:53:27,800
couple dozen hours of a video game. Uh, Nick, I'm

2306
01:53:27,880 --> 01:53:30,800
not sure there could be a less qualified for some.

2307
01:53:30,840 --> 01:53:33,760
Speaker 5: Of the realized was gonna be on this one because

2308
01:53:33,760 --> 01:53:35,920

2317
01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:03,159
We've been doing a lot of f C twenty six

2318
01:54:03,199 --> 01:54:05,479

people who play soccer playing soccer a lot.

2329
01:54:29,680 --> 01:54:32,920
Speaker 1: Okay, I think technically cricket is like the world's most

2330
01:54:32,920 --> 01:54:38,960
popular sport, but soccer eclipses literally everything in in terms

2331
01:54:38,960 --> 01:54:43,600
of sports is popular or the most popular thing ever

2332
01:54:43,880 --> 01:54:45,000

2339
01:55:04,199 --> 01:55:05,960

2340
01:55:06,199 --> 01:55:08,119
golf game pretty badly right now, and I just kind

2341
01:55:08,119 --> 01:55:10,079

bomb tend to prefer college football. I don't know why,

2352
01:55:28,399 --> 01:55:30,119

2353
01:55:30,159 --> 01:55:31,239
positively nowadays.

2354
01:55:31,399 --> 01:55:34,079

2367
01:56:19,399 --> 01:56:21,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good. We just we just reward all this

2368
01:56:22,119 --> 01:56:24,319
behavior and that's finny. We wonder why we have the

2369
01:56:24,359 --> 01:56:29,439
things we like that. Okay, uh, this is going back

2370
01:56:29,479 --> 01:56:32,640

bringing this up about two to three months ago, I've

2379
01:57:01,279 --> 01:57:04,840
been seeing them across the timeline a little bit, people

2380
01:57:04,880 --> 01:57:10,079
sharing their their their giant bomb inspired tattoos. I love

2381
01:57:10,119 --> 01:57:12,439
this one. I love the woodwork and the antlers. I

2382
01:57:12,479 --> 01:57:15,079

2385
01:57:21,560 --> 01:57:22,479
Speaker 2: You don't need any coloring.

2386
01:57:22,520 --> 01:57:23,520
Speaker 5: It does look really nice.

2387
01:57:23,600 --> 01:57:25,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

2388
01:57:25,520 --> 01:57:28,119
Speaker 1: For people who don't can't see it. When I say

2389
01:57:28,199 --> 01:57:30,920
would work in the antlers, there's there's like a graininess

2390
01:57:30,960 --> 01:57:32,359
to the sort of antlers.

2391
01:57:32,960 --> 01:57:37,079
Speaker 2: It just looks on point. Really good work there, great job.

2392

Speaker 1: Uh, next one comes from ant Hello Bomb crew. I

2415
01:58:51,840 --> 01:58:56,640
enjoy hearing about Dan's ongoing foray into exercise, as he

2416
01:58:57,079 --> 01:59:00,800
or any of the group tried out Swift or another

2417
01:59:01,319 --> 01:59:05,880
exercise quote unquote gaming platform. Probably not something to do

2418
01:59:05,920 --> 01:59:08,079
in the warmer months, but it can be pretty nice

2419
01:59:08,239 --> 01:59:09,119
in the winter.

2420
01:59:10,560 --> 01:59:12,399
Speaker 2: Oh man, I'm looking at this now. It's say it

2421
01:59:12,479 --> 01:59:16,039
kind of it's it's a standing you know, an exercise

2422
01:59:16,119 --> 01:59:20,319
bike with a video screen and it's like you're, you know,

2423
01:59:20,359 --> 01:59:24,600
actually biking. Don't be shocked. This reminds me of Epcot. Uh.

2424
01:59:24,840 --> 01:59:27,560
There was I think in the Wonders of Life pavilion

2425
01:59:27,600 --> 01:59:29,960
where you were on an exercise bike and as you

2426
01:59:30,039 --> 01:59:32,479
paddled it was just kind of play a video when

2427
01:59:32,520 --> 01:59:35,119
that made it look like you were in Disneyland, Paris,

2428
01:59:35,159 --> 01:59:37,880
I think or something. So that was fun. Huh. I

2429
01:59:37,880 --> 01:59:40,840
didn't know about this. I don't know. I'm always like

2430
01:59:41,840 --> 01:59:43,800
I've done so many people who will buy like the

2431
01:59:43,920 --> 01:59:48,359
kind of expensive exercise thing, Like what was the there

2432
01:59:48,439 --> 01:59:50,800
was that like paddle bike thing that like you would

2433
01:59:50,800 --> 01:59:54,039
get you live exercising videos and everybody was doing that

2434
01:59:54,159 --> 01:59:55,279
for a moment.

2435
01:59:56,479 --> 01:59:57,279
Speaker 3: Mirror stuff.

2436
01:59:57,359 --> 02:00:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Peloton, Peloton, No, I have Peloton, don't know.

2437
02:00:00,800 --> 02:00:03,279
Speaker 3: Peloton's great. I got three of those. Those are fantastic.

2438
02:00:03,479 --> 02:00:05,720
Speaker 2: Really yeah, I bet they're a good product. I think for

2439
02:00:05,840 --> 02:00:07,720
some people, and I'm worried I might be like this,

2440
02:00:08,239 --> 02:00:10,760
like it's like I bought, I bought the thing, I

2441
02:00:10,840 --> 02:00:14,319
did it, I'm healthy, and it doesn't get used.

2442
02:00:14,520 --> 02:00:15,640
Speaker 3: No, Peloton's incredible.

2443
02:00:15,760 --> 02:00:18,640
Speaker 4: Like the benefit of Peloton is like these constantly updating

2444
02:00:18,680 --> 02:00:20,720
courses and stuff like that. So it's like, you know,

2445
02:00:21,119 --> 02:00:22,800
you don't want to just get like the days of

2446
02:00:22,840 --> 02:00:24,600
like a DVD thing and you just do that same

2447
02:00:24,680 --> 02:00:27,039
routine every single time. So like you have your instructors,

2448
02:00:27,039 --> 02:00:29,520
you like you watch their stuff. You've got the different

2449
02:00:30,039 --> 02:00:32,479
there's the row, the bike, the tread. Those are the

2450
02:00:32,560 --> 02:00:34,000
ones I have. But then also you can just put

2451
02:00:34,039 --> 02:00:35,840
the app on a TV and they've got really good

2452
02:00:35,880 --> 02:00:38,680
yoga classes and like dumbbell classes and stuff like that.

2453
02:00:38,760 --> 02:00:40,640
So like I swear by Peloton.

2454
02:00:40,720 --> 02:00:43,760
Speaker 2: Like me again, I've never implied it's not a good product.

2455
02:00:43,800 --> 02:00:45,880
I just think for like when some people it's like

2456
02:00:45,920 --> 02:00:52,000
I bought the thing that's the endorphin rush. I'm healthy.

2457
02:00:52,399 --> 02:00:54,800
Speaker 5: This is a trictly thing. Looks uh, it looks interesting though.

2458
02:00:54,800 --> 02:00:57,239
It looks like they gamified it like a literal video

2459
02:00:57,319 --> 02:00:59,319
game race. But you're pedaling.

2460
02:01:01,520 --> 02:01:04,640
Speaker 2: Chat's very confused about you having three pelotons, by the way, but.

2461
02:01:06,720 --> 02:01:12,479
Speaker 4: The bike and the tread three different different badmill. Yeah,

2462
02:01:13,119 --> 02:01:14,840
I thought it wasn't on reason. I bet, I bet

2463
02:01:14,920 --> 02:01:16,800
it's not just literally three of the bike ones.

2464
02:01:16,880 --> 02:01:17,920
Speaker 3: No ridiculous.

2465
02:01:17,960 --> 02:01:20,279
Speaker 2: Yah. Yeah, I don't do it.

2466
02:01:20,399 --> 02:01:24,039
Speaker 1: I do it sometimes for the the stretching stuff, but uh,

2467
02:01:24,119 --> 02:01:25,279
Stacey does it.

2468
02:01:26,560 --> 02:01:27,079
Speaker 2: Very often.

2469
02:01:27,640 --> 02:01:31,800
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you. And last one, we'll talk to Mike

2470
02:01:31,880 --> 02:01:36,119
from Saint Petersburg, Florida. Hey, y'all been looking to get

2471
02:01:36,680 --> 02:01:40,079
into more emulation solutions to take advantage of the handhelds

2472
02:01:40,239 --> 02:01:45,359
and hardware. I have got a thor in a steam machine. Nice,

2473
02:01:45,920 --> 02:01:48,199
Uh you have a steam machine already? Are those going out?

2474
02:01:48,239 --> 02:01:49,920
People can get them out, but.

2475
02:01:50,119 --> 02:01:52,159
Speaker 4: They are the boks waiting on her like bunk got

2476
02:01:52,159 --> 02:01:54,800
the like, hey, you're getting one, but she hasn't got

2477
02:01:54,840 --> 02:01:56,279
the one where it's like you can actually pay for

2478
02:01:56,279 --> 02:01:57,760
it yet. So I think they're getting like slowly, like

2479
02:01:57,800 --> 02:01:59,960
Will got his last week or something.

2480
02:02:00,119 --> 02:02:05,439
Speaker 3: So it is shipped, all right.

2481
02:02:05,640 --> 02:02:07,720
Speaker 1: I have the knowledge how to set them up, but

2482
02:02:07,760 --> 02:02:12,239
I was wondering what y'all did for like mass storage.

2483
02:02:12,720 --> 02:02:16,880
Do you have an ass that keeps every game ever

2484
02:02:17,079 --> 02:02:20,079
and you pick and choose what does on the devices

2485
02:02:20,760 --> 02:02:23,720
with storage exploding and costs. Was just curious how you

2486
02:02:23,760 --> 02:02:29,039
all organize your collection and decide what goes on the devices.

2487
02:02:29,119 --> 02:02:32,479
That's that's a preferential thing. But let's let's talk to Dan.

2488
02:02:32,680 --> 02:02:35,079
Speaker 4: So I got this. This is a fourteen terabyte guy,

2489
02:02:35,119 --> 02:02:37,359
and this is everything. This is just the monster. This

2490
02:02:37,520 --> 02:02:40,199
has every single ROM and everything I have on it,

2491
02:02:40,279 --> 02:02:43,600
every version, every region, everything. And I got this little

2492
02:02:43,640 --> 02:02:45,960
guy here, This is little ginky save point guy. This

2493
02:02:46,000 --> 02:02:48,199
is a two terabyte and so this is something where

2494
02:02:48,199 --> 02:02:50,760
it's like when I get something like a Steam machine,

2495
02:02:50,880 --> 02:02:52,319
like a two terabyte thing. It's like, you know, if

2496
02:02:52,319 --> 02:02:54,239
it's two terriaby to two terabyte, I can just copy

2497
02:02:54,239 --> 02:02:56,640
the whole thing over. This is like these selects that

2498
02:02:56,680 --> 02:02:59,159
I want. It is not every revision, like you know,

2499
02:02:59,199 --> 02:03:00,600
there's some games that will have like a REB one,

2500
02:03:00,640 --> 02:03:03,359
REB two whatever. This is like kind of pared down.

2501
02:03:03,720 --> 02:03:06,319
It's just the North American ones with a handful of

2502
02:03:06,359 --> 02:03:08,600
selects that were released in other regions and stuff like that.

2503
02:03:09,039 --> 02:03:11,279
So yeah, this is the main one I use when

2504
02:03:11,279 --> 02:03:13,399
I'm loading ROMs onto other things, and I try to,

2505
02:03:13,560 --> 02:03:16,239
you know, keep it pretty pared down, pretty clean basically.

2506
02:03:16,800 --> 02:03:18,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think for the for the systems where the

2507
02:03:18,920 --> 02:03:21,520
games are barely any stores at all, like the NES

2508
02:03:21,720 --> 02:03:24,399
you know, a long time ago, I downloaded NES ROM set.

2509
02:03:24,479 --> 02:03:26,560
That is just because you know, that's like I forget

2510
02:03:26,600 --> 02:03:28,359
what is It's less than gigabyte for the like the

2511
02:03:28,479 --> 02:03:31,079
entire system library, so that I just download. For the

2512
02:03:31,079 --> 02:03:34,079
bigger ones though, I you know, go to my favorite

2513
02:03:34,119 --> 02:03:39,079
source obviously my physical collection over there, and then I

2514
02:03:39,159 --> 02:03:41,800
download the games as necessary as I as I want to,

2515
02:03:41,920 --> 02:03:43,720
one by one, because you know, it is true what

2516
02:03:43,760 --> 02:03:46,439
people say of like, if you download a ton of games,

2517
02:03:46,600 --> 02:03:49,840
you have choice paralysis. Say the same thing with the

2518
02:03:49,880 --> 02:03:52,199
retro gaming stuff. I find that for systems I want

2519
02:03:52,239 --> 02:03:55,479
to play PS one and sixty four GameCube, that kind

2520
02:03:55,479 --> 02:03:57,840
of stuff, it's better to get them as you need

2521
02:03:57,880 --> 02:03:59,760
them because that you know exactly what you want. That's

2522
02:03:59,760 --> 02:04:02,520
why I like a device that does run Android because

2523
02:04:02,520 --> 02:04:04,479
then you can, you know, go to your favorite source

2524
02:04:04,520 --> 02:04:06,560
and then get them as you need to on the

2525
02:04:06,560 --> 02:04:09,880
fly or transfer them more than network. I can't hold

2526
02:04:09,880 --> 02:04:12,439
it up because it's like wired behind my PC. But

2527
02:04:12,840 --> 02:04:16,079
I also do have a twenty terabyte external hard drive

2528
02:04:16,079 --> 02:04:18,760
that I bought for work back back when that was reasonable.

2529
02:04:18,800 --> 02:04:21,800
It was a little over two hundred dollars for twenty

2530
02:04:21,359 --> 02:04:24,399
year and I think it was like best Buy. I

2531
02:04:24,439 --> 02:04:26,840
had a crazy good stuff like two thirty I want

2532
02:04:26,840 --> 02:04:29,920
to say, for twenty terabytes. It was a great, great deal.

2533
02:04:30,119 --> 02:04:32,840
Now nowadays that's like six hundred dollars or something crazy.

2534
02:04:33,079 --> 02:04:35,399
But you know, for any of the larger games, I

2535
02:04:35,439 --> 02:04:37,359
do like store them on there and then yeah, transfer

2536
02:04:37,399 --> 02:04:40,399
them over the network to my new stuff. But yeah,

2537
02:04:40,520 --> 02:04:43,039
storage is getting crazy. I wish they weren't, because I

2538
02:04:43,119 --> 02:04:45,600
do want a new SD card for my superstation because

2539
02:04:45,600 --> 02:04:48,520
that's an easy way to load games there. I got one,

2540
02:04:48,560 --> 02:04:51,319
and I think it's my wi Is using Micrusty card

2541
02:04:51,319 --> 02:04:53,319
that's large, so I'll just pop that in here. Instead.

2542
02:04:53,359 --> 02:04:55,760
It's it sucks that we had to be frugal with

2543
02:04:55,800 --> 02:04:56,279
our stores.

2544
02:04:56,319 --> 02:05:00,600
Speaker 1: Nowadays it just starts chucking the uh, the old SD

2545
02:05:00,720 --> 02:05:04,199
cards out of devices that have been neglected over the

2546
02:05:04,279 --> 02:05:08,640
last five years or so. You'd be very surprised to

2547
02:05:08,680 --> 02:05:10,760
see what you find. It's like, oh my god, I

2548
02:05:10,880 --> 02:05:12,920
had a two fifty six in this camera.

2549
02:05:12,680 --> 02:05:13,640
Speaker 2: That I've never used before.

2550
02:05:14,960 --> 02:05:16,960
Speaker 3: I haven't touched this. Oh that's a four hundred gig jeez.

2551
02:05:17,000 --> 02:05:21,359
Speaker 1: Okay, you know, just start shucking data centers.

2552
02:05:21,399 --> 02:05:21,840
Speaker 2: There you go.

2553
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:24,640
Speaker 5: Chat was curious, saying, yes, the I just looked on Amazon.

02:08:04,880 --> 02:08:07,439
I actually I kind of feel it.

2601
02:08:07,399 --> 02:08:08,159
Speaker 2: In my palms.

2602
02:08:10,560 --> 02:08:10,760

2605
02:08:15,359 --> 02:08:15,800

2606
02:08:17,439 --> 02:08:20,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, makes he says Jeff backlard. Does your

2608
02:08:24,520 --> 02:08:27,479
Speaker 1: She does. We call her sometimes we call her face face.

2609
02:08:27,880 --> 02:08:28,640
We call her face.

2610
02:08:28,960 --> 02:08:33,319
Speaker 2: Yeah. Was there a story behind that one? Yeah?

2611
02:08:33,560 --> 02:08:36,920
Speaker 1: I think my brother gave her that nickname. I kind

2612
02:08:36,920 --> 02:08:42,319
of don't remember exactly how it started, but I think

2613
02:08:42,359 --> 02:08:44,119
it was like a stace face, and then we just

2614
02:08:44,279 --> 02:08:45,279
shortened it to face.

2615
02:08:45,640 --> 02:08:49,760
Speaker 2: Stay face, okay, Oka stay face is fun. I might

2616
02:08:49,800 --> 02:08:52,439
just go face the nicest thing you can call someone.

2617
02:08:52,600 --> 02:08:56,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, yeah, we'll get there.

2618
02:08:58,039 --> 02:09:05,640
Speaker 2: For a second, I was like, yeah, it's true. UHC

2619
02:09:05,760 --> 02:09:08,399
says I removed the battery from a three D S yesterday.

2620
02:09:08,479 --> 02:09:11,479
It was stupidly easy right to repair was taken from

2621
02:09:11,520 --> 02:09:14,079
under our noses. Good on EU for getting it back.

2622
02:09:14,319 --> 02:09:15,640
P P P P p p p p P.

2623
02:09:16,399 --> 02:09:19,399
Speaker 1: Well that was there, there.

2624
02:09:19,279 --> 02:09:21,279
Speaker 5: Was a slot for there was a wasn't there like

2625
02:09:21,640 --> 02:09:25,680
you would unscrew was at least on the new three

2626
02:09:25,720 --> 02:09:27,960
D SXL I forget about the once before that. But

2627
02:09:27,960 --> 02:09:30,239
it was just a panel where you unscrew it, take

2628
02:09:30,279 --> 02:09:32,000
the panel off, and you just pop it out like

2629
02:09:32,039 --> 02:09:33,279
an old cell phone.

2630
02:09:33,399 --> 02:09:35,960
Speaker 2: I mean it was it's it was obviously a forced

2631
02:09:36,000 --> 02:09:38,760
obstolescence thing that they were trying to do and attend

2632
02:09:38,840 --> 02:09:41,199
on a lot of these places, right and everything. Yeah,

2633
02:09:41,239 --> 02:09:44,079
so yeah, it's a good thing that EU is making

2634
02:09:44,119 --> 02:09:46,279
it so they can't do that, and hopefully it's like

2635
02:09:46,319 --> 02:09:48,000
a lot of these other things that happened to EU,

2636
02:09:48,319 --> 02:09:50,800
like the you know, no more lightning ports that they

2637
02:09:50,880 --> 02:09:52,920
just have to start doing everywhere to make it easier

2638
02:09:52,960 --> 02:09:53,560
for themselves.

2639
02:09:53,720 --> 02:09:58,159
Speaker 4: You know what I just realized, EU, So that's Europe, right,

2640
02:09:58,399 --> 02:10:00,920
is like at them.

2641
02:10:00,680 --> 02:10:04,680
Speaker 3: Well except eight million U loves or EU l A.

2642
02:10:05,079 --> 02:10:07,159
Speaker 4: I always every time I saw it, I was always like,

2643
02:10:07,199 --> 02:10:09,319
why the fuck does this like europe law apply to

2644
02:10:09,399 --> 02:10:09,920
games in the.

2645
02:10:09,840 --> 02:10:10,800
Speaker 2: States, And.

2646
02:10:14,720 --> 02:10:17,359
Speaker 4: Then I think I realized like recently, they're like, oh,

2647
02:10:17,399 --> 02:10:18,640
it's not about Europe.

2648
02:10:19,319 --> 02:10:29,520
Speaker 2: Nope, Okay, that's not so bad. It's not good relative

2649
02:10:29,640 --> 02:10:30,079
to Dan.

02:10:30,479 --> 02:10:34,399
Speaker 5: This is low.

2651
02:10:33,000 --> 02:10:36,279
Speaker 4: On the list of it's probably esting time I've been like,

2652
02:10:36,319 --> 02:10:37,760
why do I have to sign this Europe?

2653
02:10:38,000 --> 02:10:41,760

2755
02:15:43,760 --> 02:15:48,319
of Horizon, but uh not that that one is eighty

2756
02:15:48,359 --> 02:15:50,920
percent off in just fourteen dollars. So if you want

2757
02:15:51,159 --> 02:15:53,520
to kind of play another Forts of Horizon and it's

2758
02:15:53,520 --> 02:15:56,159
on Hawaii, you can check that out relatively cheap.

2759
02:15:56,439 --> 02:15:59,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got I was it. Moster Hunter Rise plus

2760
02:15:59,239 --> 02:16:02,760
the Sunbreaks Spansion is ten bucks. Jack is a really

2761
02:16:02,800 --> 02:16:04,880
really good price for if you like Master Hunter. But

2762
02:16:05,279 --> 02:16:07,000
in general, when it comes to the Steam sale, I

2763
02:16:07,119 --> 02:16:10,239
usually tell people just pull up is there any deal

2764
02:16:10,399 --> 02:16:12,640
and see if stuff that you've been looking forward to

2765
02:16:12,840 --> 02:16:15,840
is a good price, because sometimes, like even during the

2766
02:16:15,880 --> 02:16:18,479
Steam sale, place like green Man Gaming will have codes

2767
02:16:18,520 --> 02:16:21,479
for a little bit cheaper even so do a little

2768
02:16:21,479 --> 02:16:23,479
shopping around. See you see what deals you can get

2769
02:16:23,640 --> 02:16:25,479
on stuff you want.

2770
02:16:26,039 --> 02:16:28,479
Speaker 2: Alrighty, And then this last one here is from Grant

2771

02:20:02,120 --> 02:20:05,760
Speaker 4: I thought about Metroid dread, thought about Simpson's hit and Run,

2834
02:20:05,959 --> 02:20:09,600

2835
02:20:10,159 --> 02:20:11,799
But hey, this is my d light, this is my

2844
02:20:42,879 --> 02:20:47,799
Speaker 2: It'll be busy being a doctor. That's way more important. Also,

2845
02:20:47,840 --> 02:20:51,559
he knows nothing about video games, so he'd have very

2846
02:20:51,559 --> 02:20:55,680
little to contribute to that conversation. Yeah, we'll see. We'll

2847
