more news from out of there, and then we'll drop
some Pokemon if well, we'll drive some Pokemon trainers, right,
Is that the Is that the plan?
Speaker 2: I think it's Pokemon's just one of the things we
have to do. I assume it's just okay, nope, Oh,
it's just trainers as all trainers.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, even know what he's talking about. I stand
every chance in the world.
Speaker 3: Because I looked at the draft.
Speaker 1: Kind of sorta and it didn't help. It definitely didn't help.
But I'm excited to do it, to do it, and
I recognize some of these characters from the anime which
I've been playing for my kid in the van on
a DVD. So that's been that's going to give me
all the advantages I need. Like, Manati, how are you doing.
Speaker 2: Good? Uh? Yeah, yeah, I'm good. I'm good. It's been

let's get into it. Big news stories of the week.
You know what Resident Evil Requiem. The reviews did did drop.
It's doing very well. We'll talk about it more and
what we've been playing. It's kind of I think probably
the plan, but it's eighty nine now, kind of wavering
between at eighty nine and ninety. People seem to like
it quite a bit.
Speaker 2: Eighty eight on Open Critic right now. Eight okay, yeah, yeah,
so that's where it's but that's like one hundred and
nine reviews. So yeah, I'm curious. Wet's see what did
Village do, because I think Village did pretty maybe around
maybe a little bit. Yeah, one of the significant I
mean I significs, but eighty four, and then it is
the best reviewed rise in an Evil other than four,
other than four remaking. Well, I bet the two remake
did really well. Yeah, but I bet yeah that that
one's ninety two. I bet of the new ones though,
like this might probably reveal review even better than seven did,
which I think it did yet it was an eighty six,
so there you go. So, yeah, of the new ones,
this is very high up there at eighty eight. Nothing
to sniff at. Okay, now, I'm not looking this one
up for any particular reason. Monster Hunter Rise was in
eighty seven. So what about what about Wilds? Oh, that's right,
that's what kind. Yeah, I figure I figured that what
I was giving you, Now, all right, I was just
gonna I was gonna roll with it. Well, I'm glad
we I'm glad we did this because Rise was in
eighty seven, Wilds the much eight nine. Oh really okay,
all right, but yeah, Brosider rock Webs. Seems like everybody
really likes it. I got me among them. So yeah,
and like it's not the most shocking thing in the world.
This team just seems like it has been on the
ball for a good while now. And yeah, I know,
I'm gonna talk to you, uh later on the show.
I want I want no spoilers, of course, but especially
so because I'm starting the game tomorrow evening on giant
bomb dot Com, planning to play through the first few
hours of it live, and I am so excited about that.
But you know, I mean, I guess I'm curious, like
you think I'm going to pretty much a Doors game,
knowing how much I've enjoyed these games and especially resideval
for a remake.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like, I think I think there could be
a like small backlash against this game from like super
duper resident Evil fans in a few months when they're like, man,
it's too like streamlined, and and two kind of like
gets right to the boss of hun or a wild thing.
Huh yeah, a little bit, but it's not any bad way.
It's a it's an awesome time, especially that first play through.
They just kind of nail it. You're like, you think
Grasid Evil four is the best paced game, This is
right there with it. It is right there in terms
of just understanding the time before something begins to be
burned out. They they know that, and they are always
far away from getting near that place. So it's just
you know, you're jumping back and forth between Leon and
Grace and then a long extended Grace period, a long
a long expended time or extended time with Grace, i
should say, and then a long extended time with Leon
later in the game. And outside of those two, those
two kind of three four five hour segments. It's just
kind of back and forth, and each time they do that,
it feels like, Okay, great, that was the perfect time
to do that. I'm ready for a change of of pace,
and yeah, they just delivered.
Speaker 2: It's it's so much fun.
Speaker 1: And then everything you're doing, like you talk about spoilers, like,
obviously there are moments to be spoiled, but the joy
of this game is just doing the stuff. It's just
going It's going there, solving the puzzles, exploring the chronic
Care Center. It is doing the fun action stuff with
Leon and all the fun set pieces they set up
for you to mess around with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a it's a good, good, good game, right.
I mean, you know, I as much as I still
like don't want to know the spoilers, my favorite game
of this decade was Before Remake, a game where I
knew all the spoiler yea, like like what was gonna
be slightly different here? I knew exactly what was gonna
happen in that game. So yeah, it's gonna be a
ton of fun. I'm curious. I don't necessarily care about
these games for the story per se. It's more like
the characters and the moments. Is a part of me
that wonders how that part of it is evolving because
seven and eight were felt so off on their own.
But now that you have Leon back, you're back in
Raccoon City. I mean, let me ask you one thing
because I'm worried about this a little bit. When I
saw that last trailer and we saw the wreck and
city Police Department, is it is it a little member
barries ish at points or is it kind of tread
that line well enough?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean a little bit occasionally, But there's so
much like setting up new stuff. You could tell that
they are bringing things back to like because they're like, hey,
we're gonna have Leon here, let's do some Leon stuff
and kind of make sure that we maybe tie a
bow on a few things. And they do that, and
then most of it is setting up new threats and
new threads to pull on. So they are using that
that element of nostalgia as a tool to accomplish their goals,
and they do a good job of that.
Speaker 2: I think personally fantastic.
Speaker 1: All right, let's do some of these other stories here.
You saw that Marvel Maximum collection got announced. That's pretty cool, huh.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So this is limited or run games. There's no
release date, but you know it's coming to do everything,
and everything going to include headliner here, x Men, the
Arcade game.
Speaker 1: With rollback neck code, and six player online co op man.
Speaker 2: So, like, boy, I tell you one, when this comes out,
I wants just to find like you know, this will
get six people. Want's just play through this thing? Man? Uh?
That was that was like the Arcade game that the
trailer for this thing with the collection they know they
even ended with the Colossus, so freaking iconic. Uh so yeah,
I'm excited to play that.
Speaker 1: But what does rollback net code do for a beat
them up?
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just the same thing. It's just gonna
run more smoothly and encourage. It's just gonna be better. Okay, cool? Yeah,
Captain America and the Avengers, and you know multiple versions
of this one the Arcade, the Genesis and the one
I played as a kid, thens version, uh, Spider Man
and Venom, Maximum Carnage, Super Nintendo and Genesis. This this
isn't an amazing game, but it's such an emblematic of
iconic game. Yeah, it was super cool that red sne
s cartridge or I think there was red on both
of them was a big deal. Then the sequel to
that game that I never played, Separation Anxiety as well,
Spider Man, X Men Arcades Revenge Arcade is a character
by the way, so this is not an arcade game
but Arcades Revenge. And then the Silver Surfer game that's
kind of infants because of that angry video Game Nerd episode.
But not a bad game, but yeah, super hard, but
still kind of neat, so pretty cool collection. Limited run collections,
I generally don't go as crazy as the bonus features
as some other people's. And also so we're pointing out
the limited run collections sometimes are delisted. Just recently, their
Jurassic Park collection, which was a neat thing, was delisted,
which meant, you know, I had to go and like
pick it up real quick before it was gone forever.
And this is another big license, so part of me
is like, this isn't gonna be on Steam forever. This thing.
They probably got a deal for five years or something
and then I might be gone, so maybe get it. Well,
the getting's good, but I'm still glad to have it.
I'll take X Men the Arcade game. I still kind
of hope Konami can just do an ar Kid Beat
them Up collection, like a really big one with this
and the Simpsons and they. I mean, you know, we've
had the Turtles come out that pretty nice turtle collection. Actually,
who did the Turtle collection? I'm curious, but was that
Digital Eclipse? I want to say, but I guess I'm
not sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is I think this is very cool. I
like all these games, even the bad ones. I definitely
played all of them at one point or the one yes, okay,
whether this was a game I rented as a kid,
as it was in the majority of the cases here,
I think separation anxiety I might have eventually just played
on an emulator or something like. Even Silver Surfer is
especially nostalgic for me, so as always cool to see
I could play these games in a million ways. I
still like it when they get the attention from companies
saying let's do something with them, and you're right, like,
we we can justify getting six people together to play
the X Men Arkide game online with each other when
they do stuff like this, something that's like otherwise we
probably probably want to make those efforts so very very cool, as.
Speaker 2: You know, it's it's kind of a different life in
this era because you know they're in a collection. You
just have infinite lies. It's kind of almost just this
weird little hangout thing that you're doing now. Yeah, punching
your way through it. But I'll take it. Same in
this game. I think it. The time it was ever
ported was on Next Box Life ark r K, Yeah
that was it. So hey, I don't happily take this.
And I cannot find my freaking Jurassic Park bottle opener,
and I want to open this beer so freaking badly.
Where Oh no, okay, well you deal with that. I
need a beer. I need this beer. I'll hit this
next one.
Speaker 1: PS five and PC players can try PlayStations two big
upcoming live service games this weekend. Marathon's getting its server
blaster tests or whatever they're calling it, and then yeah,
server slam whatever. I'm not I don't know. I don't know,
serlogy right in the face, blast the server out here,
is what they say. And then a Hunter Gathering Horizon
Hunters Gathering is getting a much much smaller closed test,
but people can I think they could have signed up
for that. I don't know if they still can. Yeah,
these I don't know. Both these games feel like they're
still in very important to Sony's strategy, and I think
we'll have a pretty good idea of how people feel
about both after this weekend. I don't think it's make
or break for Marathon, but they really have a chance
to get people very excited for that game, which is
coming out next week at forty dollars.
Speaker 2: So what are your expectations for this?
Speaker 4: Hey?
Speaker 2: You got it open? Yeah? My beer open? Somebody's asking
a super chetty netcha, what's the beer? It is a
Great Lakes Conway's Irish Happy Breakday to me is what
that means? Yeah? Here you go, boy, I'm not sure
what to expect. It seems like the sentiment is a
bit better. I mean, this thing's out right now, so
we can see what Concurrens are for this. Christian you've
been playing it? What'd you think? Yelling Spiky Room, Yes,
I played it a little bit. Yeah, it's cool.
Speaker 5: I like the movement and the stuff, and the shooting
feels good. I just don't know what the loop you
need to this game is live and night by the loop.
You know, the crashing, the looting and all that stuff.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, one hundred and twenty three thousand concurrence right now,
so pretty good arc Raiders. Arc Raiders are one hundred
and seventy five thousand still at the moment. I mean, yeah,
it's the it's how many people they can hold, right
that's the issue. Because I don't know if you saw
the Jason Shreier report about High Guard, which wasn't like,
you know, there was anything super juicy in there, but
just going to that and it's kind of like worth
mentioning for as munch of people like, oh, that thing
was ruined. When we saw everyone turned on it, a
lot of people shout up to play that game at first,
it did have a lot of people. Most of the
people then decide they didn't want to play anymore of it.
That was the real issue there. So I'm curious that
people are going to play Marathon and be into it.
I think there's a decent chance of that now that
so many people did decide to stick around with arc Raiders,
a pretty similar thing, and I think that that delay
probably helped Bungee smooth a lot of those rougher edges.
And you know, they are good at things like art,
they are good at mechanics, so I imagine that there's got
to be something there. I think it's looking more promising
than not for Marathon now, which is different than how
we felt a few months ago. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like things really came together. So you know,
and again, we'll know by the end of this weekend.
I think, you know, this game's not on saleia, this
is just a free test, but people will know if
they want to buy this game and spent actual money
on it after this weekend, and there's a strong chance
that that's exactly where it will end up. We'll see, Okay.
Sticking with with Sony. Obviously, blue Point got shut down.
We did talk about that last week or was that
Friday News as well? Now it was the Xbox News
that was Friday, right, Yes, okay, so Blue Point got
shut down.
Speaker 2: We knew that.
Speaker 1: There's been some reporting since then, including the idea that
they pitched a bunch of stuff, some single player stuff
and some other things. One of the things they were
going to going to work on was a blood Born
port or remaster or something along those lines, and then
a spinoff of Ghost of Sushima. Yeah, the blood Born thing.
Apparently they tried a couple of times with that. They
tried a few years ago and then they tried in
this last year, and both times Sony said no, what
we can't do that. And you know, that definitely goes
back to what I've said over and over again for
years now. It's going back a long time, but it's
I've confirmed again and again that it's true that Sony
does not want to upset from software and do this
without from software, and from software from software would be upset.
So what does that mean? Yeah, it means no blood
Born is what That's all it really means. And then
that's one of the things here. What's like, Oh man,
that's a shame. That would have been a great fit.
Speaker 2: Is there any any chance that at some point people
start actually getting mad at Frumsoft and bother them enough
about this, and you think they're kind of immune?
Speaker 1: I mean that I think they're a little immune because
I think people know yelling at them is not going
to accomplish anything. Like they are in a bubble of
success of they can pick whatever they want to do
and yelling at them it's like go back and do
more with Bloodborne and're like, no, we're going to do
something new and we want to work on something new.
What are you gonna be the fan that's like, oh,
we don't want you to do what you want to do.
So yeah, I think they're a little immune to that.
And I do think though, fans will eventually come to
understand that it's not PlayStation holding it back for the
most part. You know, it's it technically it's PlayStation holding
it back, but it's because and again now this is
me speculating, because they want to work with From again
and they don't want to upset From. So yeah, a
couple of questions there, please. So as part of that
is that the Shower of the Classes we make apparently
didn't make money, and parties like, boy, how does that happen?
Speaker 2: If? If that part of it is true? I mean
obviously like Child the Classus the original was in some
giant hit and it's hard to find like actual stale
numbers for either of these games, right, So so I
don't know, but they're probably like in my mind, I
about both those games probably sell about a million copies
and maybe nothing more than that. I don't know if
if you could have expected the remake to suddenly sell
five million copies instead, I don't know, But yeah. I mean,
I assume that one to two million would be the
range for a game like that, and you think it'd
be appropriately budgeted for that. It's I know, it's a
pretty game, but it's not the most you know, it's
a game. It's with thirteen bosses.
Speaker 1: That's the game, right, And it's like, I don't know
it was Blue Point even as big as it was
recently back then when it was doing that. So let's
say it had fifty sixty people doing that, and it's like, yeah,
that's fifty sixty people in Austin. That that's pretty expensive.
Speaker 2: How is it that expensive?
Speaker 1: A million copies sold should be able to cover that.
But whatever, it didn't, I'll tell you. I'll tell you
what would have sold more than a million copies. Mike Uh,
Jack and Daxter, which is the other thing that they
were apparently pitching.
Speaker 2: And it's like, we.
Speaker 1: Know, I think we just know for a fact, if
they do a decent job on that, it does crash numbers,
it does spiral numbers any number of one of these
big remix that we've seen for platformers from that era specifically,
and it's hard to see that not doing at least
five million. It probably does closer to ten million. It's
like that easily pays for that studio opera. I mean
it at least tho as well as Ratchet and Clink
rifted apart the brand new, very expensive game did so yeah, like,
how could you not just put them on that project?
Although again, Naughty Dog, even though they're straight up owned
by Sony, sometimes I think they also had to be tiptoed.
Speaker 2: Around by Sony as well. Who knows how Naydog feels
those about people making their games. Crash Bandicoot, they didn't
own any part of those activision's calls, so that was
a little bit different. But boy, I would have liked
I would have really liked to see Bluepoint do a
jack in dexter Remaate. That would have been phenomenal. That
would have been super fun. Resistance that doesn't quite get
me as excited, And I'm not quite sure how viable
that one is, although whenever I talk crap about Resistance,
a lot of people come out like, no, I.
Speaker 1: Bet that does well as well. I bet that does
a few million copies, maybe more, probably more. I'm also
discounting it so and I'm probably wrong. So yeah, whatever,
either way, they PlayStation said no to all these ideas,
said note every single one, and then Bluepoint's like, well, shit,
morales down because we don't know what would get Sony
to green light anything. The answer was probably nothing unless
it was like some miracle live service thing that really
convinced the people at PlayStation that could make money for forever,
and that.
Speaker 2: Just didn't happen. And now Bluepoint Bluepoint is closed.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: And that's that's sort of what I mean.
Speaker 1: That's the other side of this, Mike, is what like
what does PlayStation want to hear from a studio like that?
Like what is is the kind of thing that that
leadership is looking for? And I really don't know, and.
Speaker 2: You see, like, you know, people are kind of whispering
now I think maybe even try. I also said this that, yeah,
we PlayStations, so yeah, it's not really they're maybe they're
not interested in the PC ports anymore less interested and
I'm like, whoa what if like a Nixy's has are
they gonna be next? Now? I don't know, but the boy,
it's just like it just seems like it's it's downscaling
for everything, but you know, the biggest games, uh, in
these live service Gambles. I'm I don't know the Bluepoint thing.
It's still baffling to me, and I just I just
can't imagine we're in a position five years from now
where everyone looks back at that, like, boy, that was
a bad call, especially if we, you know, see again
one of these remakes from there from somebody else, are
we see, you know, whatever cheap company they get to
try to do the jack Indecks where remaking God forbid,
that doesn't look good because everyone's just gonna pile on
said Bluepoint would have made this look good. We would have,
even though people at the time they'd get Bluepoint a
hard time for maybe shot of the Class and demon
souls not looking exactly how they wanted to, but they're
kind of like, now, yeah, yeah, that was.
Speaker 1: There was no like as sailing the technical side of things.
It was just like stylistic choices and that's a very
different thing.
Speaker 3: And he was like a couple of freaks.
Speaker 2: This is just never just one of them. I want
to run the Shadows for the Shadows of the Cossus. Absolutely, yes,
it was.
Speaker 1: It was never like this shouldn't exist because it's so bad,
but just like, oh, I prefer the original. I think
they lost something in the translation a little bit. I
think very similar stuff for demon souls for people like, oh,
some of these reimaginations of the creature designs, uh loses
something for me.
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, I get it, but those Yeah, both
those projects were really well done from a technical side,
and I would have been interesting to see how a
bit something a bit more colorful cartoony would have looked
with the charge of it resistance. I can't imagine what
that would have looked like if they did it. Uh yeah,
so I mean you you brought it up.
Speaker 1: Jason Tryer said that he I'm trying to remember exactly
how he phrased it. He said, I'm getting this, Yes,
a more report, there's a bigger report comments, but yes,
this is the sense that he's getting or alluding to
it in the sense that they are like less interested
in doing a PC ports for their big single player games,
live service stuff will continue to come to PC. And
it's like, okay, yeah, I mean destranding too might be
an outlier, right, because that's Kojama and they don't necessarily
like own every aspect of that. It's like, that's a
good way to make more money. From this project that
they are helping to fund with a partner studio that
is technically external. Okay, so maybe that's a maybe that's
an exception. I don't think they're completely done. I do
think that they are pulling back in a big way.
I I asked about it, and the people I talk
to are like, look, it's still mostly an open question.
But yeah, it's a question that comes up for a reason,
Like it's a question that we do consider frequently. And
there's smoke here, so there's probably fire, and that fire
is probably gonna be a little it's gonna make things
look different than it for the last couple of years
at the very least. So yeah, I don't know. I
think NIX is for now. It's probably safe. They could
do like one game at a time, and it could
be some of these new games and place theation will
have plenty of life service stuff to turn to that
studio to handle. So maybe maybe that's where it ends
up getting most of its work.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just curious, Like you know, these games come
out and they you think they'd be doing well enough,
some better than others, Like you know, Lego Horizon has
three hundred and sixty reviews on Steam and it's a mix, so,
you know, not amazing. Gotta wor Ragnarrop though thirteen thousand,
about fourteen thousand, very positive, But it's like, boy, are
we not going to get Ghosts of Yota on here?
Is that one that they're gonna keep? I wonder if
they think that they can play that exclusive card again
now a little bit more.
Speaker 1: Mean even Xbox was talking about exclusives in some way.
Speaker 2: Now it's crazy, flip flopping all over the place. Were
just trying anything?
Speaker 1: Huh yeah, it's I mean, yeah, I mean honestly, like
new leaders go, they take over the strategy changes. They
maybe try something at first, and then a few months
later they get their second chance to make strategy changes
because they've been installed now for a while and they
have data from their previous choices, and they try something different,
and a lot of times that's something different is the
way things used to be. So the walled garden is
growing back, it is taking over once again.
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, we're getting sorrows like what we got the
other one.
Speaker 2: Right announced Tokon. Uh Tokon is Tokon's happening for sure.
So this lost soul a side which that came out
that was last year. Never mind, what's what's the one
coming out this year? Is that Phantom Phantom Blaze zero?
I think publishing this one of your games, that's the
one you like? Yeah, that's right, Yeah, if it was
zero right, well, I don't know me neither.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's weird, right, flip flopping back and forth.
And I just think these companies are looking for any
sort of like footing to gain so that they can
make the next step forward, and there is no obvious
clear footing. And then Phil Spencer left Xbox. He's resigning.
Sounds like he was kind of kicked out a little
bit sooner than they were planning. But this was planned
to a certain extent. There's a whole bunch of details.
Speaker 2: At this point. The whole world knows what's happened here.
Speaker 1: We've almost moved on from the story in some ways,
so that will hit the like the very big points.
Sarah Bond also resigned at the same time. She was
clearly jumped over for Asha Sharma, who is now the
new CEO of Microsoft Gaming. She comes from the Core
AI business. She's given a couple of interviews, done some
conversations on social media, where she said things like, hey,
we are and nothing's off the table, including exclusives. Again,
we want to go back to the basics of Xbox
whatever that means a coms in skies and that's almost
husion frenzy. Get Bill Gates out there with the rock
and do it all over again. I think that the
key answers that she's given most frequently are the real ones,
which is she's saying, I need to learn how this
business works and then come back and then make some decisions.
Speaker 2: That's I think somebody. Yeah, I think somebody who's hired
a b CEO of a major video game company should
already know how the business works. So that's that's real weird. Yeah,
I mean, look, I agree, and it's it's there's just good.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to a point where that will never
happen again, but we're not clearly not there yet. I
understand why Microsoft would want to do something different. They
did just have the games guy, the guy that was
that grew up in Xbox and had been playing games
and making games his entire life in charge. So if
you're going to do something different, well, you got to
bring someone from a different background. I Still, it would
be nice if there was some familiarity with this. The
idea would be like, bring in a money person or
whatever to lead it. But that money person comes from
the world of gaming. But that's not what's happening here.
It is someone from AI and clearly almost certainly going
to transform Microsoft into or Xbox more into an AI
company for gaming as well. Although she says no WAI
slop would clearly I just don't believe that, right, Like.
Speaker 2: Again, what does she mean by AI slop? You know,
I would be I'd feel better she said no generative AI,
but I don't think she's gonna be willing to go
that far.
Speaker 1: No, nope. Yeah, And like I said, there's been a
bunch more reporting on this, But I where are we
at with with Xbox now? Mike, what do you think
the next couple of years holds? They do keep talking
about having new hardware that's still gonna come. I guess
what are you expecting?
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's almost impossible to tell, right, Like
I get sit here and play Fortune Teller at this point.
But I mean, I think that something called an Xbox
launch it that's probably going to look like a PC.
I imagine it doesn't do amazing and either they kind
of let that brand sputter along or they just focus
even more on kind of, you know, just publishing games
basically third party, you know, and they have like a
lot of these big baskets. I don't even feel necessarily
very xbox Y like Blizzard, like King, like Bethesda, right,
and you know, there's just Xbox. This is going to
be kind of another one of those. And it happens
to be what the Gears of War is the fort says,
and the Halo's launch under. Yeah, and it's like.
Speaker 1: That at this point, we know they're not going to
lock down the Call of Duties and the Minecraft to
be exclusive. So like what you would be talking about
here is maybe making the Halo's exclusive again. And that's
that doesn't move the needle, that doesn't really have any effect.
Speaker 2: I mean, I do think that they.
Speaker 1: Need an entirely rethought out strategy about what Xbox even is.
Clearly the everything is an Xbox, Xbox is everywhere.
Speaker 2: There was always.
Speaker 1: Reports and what I was hearing is there was always
debates about that internally and people were not happy, and uh,
and now here we are on the other side of
it because that was Sarah Bond's marquee sort of push
for the Xbox brand. They are definitely making her own
it now, as like saying like she was the brain,
spind the whole thing and it was all her. So
now we got rid of her, we don't have to
do that anymore. And I'm sure it's never that. It's
never that simple. So definitely throwing her under the bus
a little bit, But that's what happens. You get to
sit in the big seat, getting paid a lot of money,
you get a lot of the blame when things don't
go down, right, right, Yeah, Yeah, it's it's both.
Speaker 2: It's both, like, yeah, they're definitely kind of giving her
a law of that crap and throwing her on the
bus up bad. I'm also not I don't feel that
like about it. It's like, yeah, these are a lot
of things probably were her initiatives and her and things
that she supported or maybe championed, right, I don't know.
I wasn't there, So yeah, I mean, I think I
think it's civil for a lot of people because I
think a lot of people just you know, they liked Sarah,
they liked Phil, but to clearly, you know, it wasn't working.
Now are we happy about the direction that's going in now?
I don't know. I don't want to get better. Yeah,
I hate saying it feels hopeless, but you know.
Speaker 1: It's a little hopeless, right because bliss because like what
are we talking about? Like what do they need to
do to change the vibes around here? And it's like
the key fundamental problem is is that people don't believe
the vibes can be changed because they have to spend
a lot of money to make that.
Speaker 2: Change, Like the people consumers.
Speaker 1: And if you have to face the prospect of spending
a lot of money on a product and you can
get a very very similar product from another company that
has a lot more of the key thing that gets
you to spend that money in the first place, exclusive games,
and it gets all the other games, and it might
even get some of your games maybe or maybe not,
but maybe they might get some of your games.
Speaker 2: At what point do people just.
Speaker 1: Go, Look, I love Xbox, but the safe and vestmant
for my money, especially as Grand Theft Auto six is
about to come out and there's only two places to
play that PlayStation or Xbox, I'm just gonna choose PlayStation
to be very financially safe, and how do you fight
against that at this point with high prices for all
this stuff, you simply don't. There's simply no way to
fight that unless you change everything about the business. And
they're just not going to, like unless you actually make
Call Duty exclusive.
Speaker 2: When they kind of told that, yeah, right exactly, they
told the government they weren't going to do that. So yeah,
let's like the one thing maybe you can do is
we're going to like really dig in and make a
new system and it's really going to compete against the
PlayStation six, and we're just gonna make such a better
product that we're going to gain all that ground from
the three to sixty era that we lost back. But
it's so difficult. They talked about this before that so
many people have been building those digital libraries now since
the PlayStation four, PlayStation does still have its big exclusives,
and they have a lot more of them that you know,
haven't had this kind of tarnishing moment like has had recently,
like Bees as a brand has had recently with Starfield,
you know. So it's I just don't know if they
have the ammunition in the chamber to come out against
PlayStation right now, which means nobody does, which is a
kind of another scary thing. We got PlayStation doing its thing,
Nintendo doing its thing, kind of competing but kind of not.
And then there's PC gaming over here, and Xbox is
kind of just floating around aimlessly a bit. Yep, absolutely
all right. If if Xbox did was like, we're gonna
make Call of Duty exclusive, I mean, do you think
anyone's going to what? What's the consequence of that is?
What is? What would the government do? Now? The consequences
don't come from the government.
Speaker 1: It comes from a lot of people who are like
going to be like you said, you wouldn't do this,
and it would be a NonStop fervor for months.
Speaker 2: It would be it would be loud. It would actually
be very loud.
Speaker 1: I mean, people care a little bit less about Call
of Duty after the most recent one. They don't care that.
Speaker 2: Number before after Vanguard came out, and then you know,
the Black Ops six came out, and once they called
dude is so back baby, And now we feel bad
about it again, and in two years will feel good
about it. Called that's right.
Speaker 1: We have we had our thing with Battlefield. We'll be
back to call of duty here soon. Absolutely, all right, Uh,
that tests for the story, says I want to talk
about him, but we've been getting a lot of super chats,
so let's see what the audio audience wants to talk about.
We'll do that right after one more break. All right,
we are back. It's decides. Jeff grabbed Mike Manatti. Mike,
let's read those super chats.
Speaker 2: Sign from Saskatchewan says I want to get resume on nine,
but Dan says it's not as good as much I
planned four. I only have enough money for one. Help
please never let him reevaluate that score. So oh, he
knows he can't. I watched the review. I did not
watch with VI because the spoilers. But did this come
up again at the course? Yeah, of course, it's so
much fun.
Speaker 1: Like it's the best to like just give him about this,
mostly because he's a good sport about any and he's
aware of how it looks. Uh, and so yeah, it's
a good time to bring it up and kind of
rub in his face. And let me ask We know
everyone's going to keep saying that to him for forever.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. You've played both of
these games. Which game do you think is better? I'll
let me think. I do want to have like one
real like I haven't really like asked him about the
game in detail since I finished that, I kind of
one to just one more time, be like, what did
you mean by that? What? Let's how can I put this?
Were you thinking? May you? We're getting so excited because
he was what we do at the time, I was like,
I bet everyone's going to give this game a perfect score.
I can't wait. Have pulled the wool over our eyes. Man,
you hated it. We're really good less than most people.
Uh huh, shit, Remind people.
Speaker 5: Remind the people the I did the thumbnail for the
week before the game came out based on vibes of
these two guys, and he was like, uh huh yeah,
these came kind of rules and the next week was like, oh,
it's kind of disappointment.
Speaker 2: Next week, Yeah, all right, next one here, Simon says Jeff,
who's on the Matt rushmore of who's able to make
mikey Agro the best? Who's said George Washington? Is Dan
the obvious pick? Or Chris score? Chris that's tough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I honestly I think it is Christian Christ better
than Dan, but Dan's on there. I don't know if
I if I quite make I mean, I don't make
it because when I'm trying to upset them. But there's
times when I'm just like like being mister McGoo about
something and.
Speaker 2: Mike gets like, what are you doing? Just shit together?
Speaker 1: And that's one so ill you know, maybe I'll throw
myself up there for that. And that's before is it
one of your brothers or something?
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, I'll get mad at them. There's maybe
some closer friends fixed my friend fixer. Okay, the fixer
is pretty good at it. Yeah right, we'll throw a
fixer up. But I've grown up. And because he used
to be just those chowdish poking of me that he
would do right. And yeah, and I've grown up a
little bit doesn't bother me as much. Sip Sketchwan says huge,
thanks for recommending System Shock A couple of years ago.
Finally started playing it and it's so good. Top five
Night Dive Remasters, SLA. That's what we got to force
ourselves to play on the website. I like not to
not to be like, oh, reviews wrong, because I think
usually like, you know, the reviews are right. I think
that is the most under reviewed game I could think of,
certainly from recent times. Is that system Shock remake. It
is super neat super good. They did that remaster too.
I mean, you know, it has a seventy seven. It's
not bad, but to me, like this is great. I
don't know how it did just a seventy seven. Yeah, yeah,
I think it's a lot of that is like the
old games aging stuff where it's like, oh.
Speaker 1: The system Shock it's you know, system Shock two is
where it really came together. It's like, I don't know,
system Shock one still has a lot going on. And
they re upped their their System Shocked two remaster for
a twenty fifth anniversary or whatever, and it was like, yeah,
very cool to see.
Speaker 2: I for like the Best Night Dives. I of course
really like what they did with Power Slave exzoomed. Yes,
of course it is fantastic. I think what they did
with like the original Tarak was also super good. H
dooms the Doom sixty four that was them right and
gosh I love playing Doom sixty four now. So yeah,
they do. They do all sorts of neat ones. They've
been doing a lot reason. I've always kind of it's
hard to keep up because I have not done not
play much of Outlaws or Blood or even Pod yet,
and I've been wanting to. It's it is neat that
we got the Heretic and Hexton thing from them not
too long ago. But boy, I think Power Slave Zoom
is still my favorite one from them. All those Tarak
ones were good too. Yep, Uh, Simon's back when we're oh, no,
we're done. Simon Hailmy says, you're a nice person. Mike,
It's okay if you and Apple were in the same
Personatiti group. No, it's not. Absolutely not get that Apple
away from me.
Speaker 1: I think there's some steamy things happening between Mike and Apple.
Wait to see what happens next.
Speaker 2: T Bucket says, I got some next Fest demo Rex Croak,
so Frogs, Celeste like Flock Around, Bird Photo Friend Slop
and pro Jink Footy, Rugby Meats, wind Jammers. Okay, in
that sounds awesome.
Speaker 1: I'll do my best to try to remember these because
we'll play a bunch of them on next Est tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a couple I might want to check out.
I think people we'll hop around a little bit, see
what's going on. Yep, James Pie says some pretty cool
reveals from IG and FanFest the last two days, Marvel
Maxima collection and stage tour from the OG Guitar Desk.
We're personal highlights. Yeah, you see the stage tour thing.
I didn't let me take a look at it. You know,
it's a little think. It's like the big question is, well,
what what's the setlist going to be here? Right? Right?
Like what what songs are we going to get? But
you know it looks very original Guitar hero esque, it's right,
I mean it, and it's red auctin games doing it.
So yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Bet though there are like rules against this. But it's like,
what if you just let people play YouTube and then
you just built an algorithm to build stuff like tracks
on top of YouTube songs and so you can have
any song. But I bet the recording industry would be
mad about that.
Speaker 2: See, I thought that the quality of the tracks you
were playing was much better, and like Guitar Hero one
and two, when there was just you know, there's twenty
songs in the game and that's it. Then when it
got to the point where there was like five new
songs every week. It kind of felt a little I
don't know, it felt a little bit less like a
game to me and more like some thing on some
interact thing, a hobby onto itself. Yeah, next up is
Dubious for Life. Can we please get the Quintet trilogy
on our current consoles? Y S, Square Enix for gotten
about them? Yeah, it is weird. Yeah, you know, those
would be good. We did have that bad it's not
in the Quintet Trophy. But Quintet did also do the
game where you're the Angel and you're a city builder,
and then it's a Art Act Raiser, the Dead Act
Raiser one remake, which I don't know if people like
the remake, but nothing with THATCT Razer two and then yeah,
the Terra Enigma sol Wait Cord, where are the other
two Terror Nema, Illusion of Gaya and soul Blazer? I
always want I kept going to say Soul Blade or
sold Edge, and I'm like, that's not right. It's all right, Yeah,
they should do something with those. I think that would
be nice. It is a problem where maybe they're not
quite big enough for that, but you know, it's kind
of on Nso then for love of God, I would
like that a lot. Dennis b Price to get ready
for the Steam Machine, bought a one point five terror
by SD card and Amazon over the holidays. Checked recently,
it's four times as expensive as much as a PlayStation five.
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, I was gonna say, you made the right move.
I would like to get a one point five terabyte
SD card because I'm trying to get this superstation to
kind of just really be a superstation, just have everything
on it and not have to worry about anything ever again,
just making a magic PlayStation and a magic saturn and
all that stuff.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I have a two hundred and.
Speaker 1: Fifty six gigabyte because that's what I could afford. It's
getting rotten out there, absolutely rotten.
Speaker 2: This is the largest hard drive that I could afford.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's funny? I, speaking of which, we've
had our secret rom site for a long time. I
could say what it is now because it's fucking closing down.
Next with me, myriant got too expensive. It's for them
to run because it got popular because we didn't do
a good enough job of keeping the word out of
people's mouths. But yeah, I got super expensive, and they
also said, Yeah, the RAM and the hard drives are
making things more expensive for us as well, So it's
ruining even old games.
Speaker 2: We're in so much trouble.
Speaker 1: We'ren't so much tri I'm gonna have to go download
all those games. I gotta get a our drive now.
Speaker 2: Zadie Porn says, this evil jan like hamburgers and hate gambling.
Yeah that sounds right. Yeah, uh huh uh. He would
never do the nine nine nine challenge.
Speaker 1: This guy sounds normal, Yeah right, yeah, yeah, it sounds
like a guy's drinks mixed drinks in like completely rectangular boxes.
Speaker 2: He's a box wine guy instead of buzzball. Yeah, oh
my god, that is exact. You need to watch Marry
Me Tomadacci. Everybody. Abby's just doing excellent work over there. Yeah,
Premium Show, Giant, Bam dot Com, slash Joint. Uh, Missouri
Matts is my Sharona. I have no question. It's just
got to be creative when I give you money, dig you,
Missouri Matt, I appreciate it. Is that also, Jimmie Buffett, Well,
my Sharona is mama.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my shan to do like some cover of it,
you know he might have.
Speaker 2: I mean I think of my boloona from uh, of
course we're now right. Yeah, you don't even have to
say it. We all think that. Okay. Cody Bishops says.
Speaker 1: All right, sorry real quick, sorry you ever did you
ever watch that movie, the weird al sort of fake
docu drama. No, I never did get a chance to. Yes,
it's pretty good. If you are a fan, which I
know you are, you would enjoy it. It's absurdist, it's absurdist.
It's not like the best absurdist comedy, but it's pretty good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd enjoy that. I love UAHF. And I know
this isn't that, but like the actual movie he was
in from the late eighties, that comedy is fantastic. Big
UAHF fan? All right, Code Bishop says, rest in Peace, HBO, DC, CNN,
and Propaganda Free Entertainment. So yeah, it looks like Paramount
is going to be bought by Warner Brothers now or
is the other way around? I'm sorry, I have a
hard te.
Speaker 1: So yes, Paramount, which is Netflix? Right, which is sky Dance?
Is the Ellisons is going to be buying Warner Brothers
after they made they finally made a much better deal
than Netflix and then Warner Brothers was like, all right, Netflix,
do you want to come back and make a higher
offer now? And they're like, no, we're done. You can
go to Paramount And that means Ellison, who is maga
and one and it's already made.
Speaker 2: What is this?
Speaker 1: A CBS much more Maga friendly and like the CBS
news people are all kind of leaving and deeply unhappy
and uh, Anderson Cooper's left and stuff like that. Well,
now that can happen to CNN and everywhere else. So cool,
It's bad. Everything's bad.
Speaker 2: I guess. I guess I have to ask, what do
you think this means anything for Warner Brothers Games? Oh? Yes,
I did mean to bring that up.
Speaker 1: So my understanding is when Netflix was going to be
the buyer, they were planning to take all of those
studios and continue to have them make games under Netflix Gaming.
That would mean that that's not all sunshine and rainbows.
They would have got the large like publishing apparatus on
top of those studios that was at Warner Warner Brothers.
That likely all would have been wiped out and replaced
by Netflix Gaming. Now under this, who the fuck knows,
it's probably not going to be quite as good.
Speaker 5: Barry Wis is going to run We'll call my listen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Barry Barry Weiss is gonna show up and make
a new Batman game.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The Lady by the way, oh ros Rob Foster cost
grow since Australia's Rugby League season for twenty twenty six
kicks off at Vegas on the weekend.
Speaker 2: Is the Aussie dollars strong enough to get a Go
Dragons on the podcast? Sure?
Speaker 1: Go Dragons Go Dragons. Absolutely, that's a great team name.
Speaker 2: I love that. My my elementary so, my Catholic elementary
school that I first went to was dragons. We were
the Holy Family Dragons. See him. That's Catholic powerful. It's
kind of intense.
Speaker 5: Actually, yeah, it's kind of the opposite of the Catholic
The dragon is the devil.
Speaker 2: That well, I don't think the dragon is the devil necessarily.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's definitely a statue of motherfucking killing the dragon
that represents the devil.
Speaker 2: What do you win to kick? Never? Yeah, at least
over here, it's it's usually goats and stuff is the devil.
I've never seen the dragon be Yeah, be South American imagery.
You might have something against I don't know. Maybe maybe
it's a guy.
Speaker 5: And it's like, oh, that's like, what's his name? It's
like saying something killing the dragon, which is.
Speaker 2: In fact, I think zero dragons in the Bible from
what I remember, Well, there are no well there are
no dragons in the Bible. But yeah, as far as
the imagery, the imagery is yeah whatever, Yeah, yeah, I
think that might be just a fun South America thing
that you should treasure. Yeah. Pretty, that's cool. That's better.
That's better than goats killing the dragons, soothing basses. Hey, Google,
what time is Pokemon tomorrow in Central Oh? Boy? Yeah,
the Pokemon thing. I have it on the calendar here,
so eight am Central time. Remind me I my uh
my alarmo like broke or it had a screen like
a break your alarmo? Right, No, my alarm screen is
like I am broken, Please unplug me and restart me.
So I unplugged it and plugged it back in, but
I don't know how to restart it. So I gotta
figure that out because I don't want to depend on
just phone alarms for that. No, no, you need this
is this is the alarmo's time to shine. Yeah, so
it's it's nine am uh Eastern. We will be watching.
It's excited to see what this Pokemon Gen ten is
going to look like. Drochi says, should I rebuy Hitman
on switch To? It has cross progression? Now? Boy? I
did not. I was not happy with the way it
was running back when I played it at launch, and
I have I don't think they've done a lot of
work to it. I don't know since then, so I
don't know. I don't know. Maybe maybe see if everyone's
talking about maybe look up some videos.
Speaker 1: That I was planning to play it again here soon
to check out the cross progression, which is nice. That's
a really cool thing to finally have. You know, I've
played that game over and over and over again on
a bunch of different devices, so getting my most complete save,
which is PC and putting that on the switch to
or any other device will be great. So I'll check
into it and I'll report back soonish.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do have that problem where I have like
pretty decent save files, like on a few platforms for
this game and not like some ultimate one somewhere. Got
to work on that. Crono rig says, I'm excited for tomorrow.
I hope we hear more about Pokemon Nights. I hope
there is different locations, not just one and a single.
It's going to be great to meet some single Pokemon ladies. All.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the kind of party atmosphere for adults
and drinking.
Speaker 2: I think, I don't know if you go dating. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's Pokemon Days in Pokemon Nights and the
Days of Her Families.
Speaker 2: The nights are for the scums. Yeah, that's for the Yeah,
that's for the miscreants. Yes, the Pokemon go at it. Uhah,
near do Wells, the future is ours says. You all
have mentioned the fun Facing Magic set, but it's bike
aware that in the Fall they're doing Star Trek set anyway,
Fuck Ice and Pinois. It's just like a fou on
Star Treks. Sometimes they do those smaller ones. U. This
is a fall on Star Trek set. I'd be very
excited about that, although pardon me worries because you know,
and I guess they're gonna do everything. It used to
be a point where everything in Star Trek I'd be like,
I know this reference, I know this, I know what season,
I know it episode. And now there's like five shows
I've never even watched and kind of don't really even
care about. So it's like, I'm gonna flipping your cards,
like who's this? This is from that show and these
face nine. Yeah, I'm happy, but still i'd be pretty
excited for that. I got sent some stuff for the
Turtles one that I need to actually open some point.
I'm excited about that. That's a fun collabse Even though
this ain't start Trek. It kind of goes with my
thing where I think doing franchises that don't have any
actual magic in them is a little It's it's dumb.
I get it. It's fun, but it's dumb. It doesn't
have magic.
Speaker 1: But I have seen some episodes of Star Trek with
gathering where they've gathered.
Speaker 2: There is a lot of gathering. There's some gathering. Yeah,
I guess science the gathering doesn't sell as many cars.
It may probably not. No, Yeah, fair enough. Uh. A
lazy Steca source says gb Beef of Cheddar road trip
to the world's largest RBS in Virginia, BUCkies is on
the way from Ohio and Virginia Tractor Museum in town.
Give us what we want, all right, it's some point
we got.
Speaker 1: We got there's a great American road trip I think
happened at some point.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Cuddy basic says, but why would from not
want a profit off of something as seemingly simple a
few months of work as upgrade to sixty fps and
higher res seems weird?
Speaker 1: I mean I think that they I mean, this is
a studio that has made a lot of money recently,
more money than they probably ever thought.
Speaker 2: They were going to make.
Speaker 1: Uh So I'm guessing they're not like what do we
need to do to make more money?
Speaker 2: Either? Like what do we do that we want to
do and how.
Speaker 1: We want our shit treated? It's very important to us.
There's probably a lot more to it than that. I
don't know, but yeah, that they're they're being very very
stern about this is my understanding. And Mike, I think
you might have skipped g Nitro. Oh oh that's the
one you answered earlier.
Speaker 2: Willie Style says, was Daddy Phil left in charge for
too long? I mean what changes? I guess. I mean,
I don't want to absolve him of blame or anything, right,
Oh it's his.
Speaker 1: Fault, but also you change him, and like what's the difference,
Like who's gonna do a much better job.
Speaker 2: I don't like.
Speaker 1: I think he was right, like, hey, we gotta like
try something different game pass and we got to make
some games so to buy some studios and that stuff
just didn't pan out exactly.
Speaker 2: So all right here we are, Zombie porn says, think
any other games besides Gen ten and Champions Show Tomorrow,
assuming those GameCube Colseum games, but I went Conquests to Return, Yeah,
forgot like they said those are coming to NSO, but
haven't released those yet. So I'm want to be shocked
if Callseum where Gale Darkness maybe gets shadow dropped. Ors
announced it come out within the week on NSO, so
that's something aside from that, Like, you know, we have
the really big spin off with Kopeia. It has been
a while since a remake of any kind, whether it's
Let's Go or a Let's Go Jodo or a black
and white remake, though it's a little awkward to talk
about those in a year where we're getting Gen ten.
So yeah, I'm not really sure. I want I guess
I want to. I don't feel great about any those
things happened, but anything could happen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there if there's anything there's like one
other spinoff.
Speaker 2: I would guess. Uh next up here is let me make
sure this isn't that one? Hope I god to scroll down?
There we go and Tony where else? Says Mike said
he would restart his bite if he received the physical
copy of Virtuoso. Does he still stand by this penis?
That's not exactly what I said. To be clear, I
do not stand by.
Speaker 1: Yeah you look, I mean Antonio's I think suggesting something here.
Speaker 2: So look, yeah, look I would. I would not turned
down the physical game, but I'm not going to restart
that fucking video. I can't imagine doing that. I don't
you think people want to see that? Uh no, I
want to see this game? Yeah, I think you want
to think. I could put a poll out there, we'll
see you said this.
Speaker 5: Can we'll get like a clip or something, because if you.
Speaker 2: Say that clip, I think, uh yeah, I mean I
I remember joking about something like this at some point
and you stand by it, like, yeah, you know. I
don't think you can imagine if all the verbal things
we said were buying contracts, how much trouble it would
be a terrorist? Don't you true? Says what are you
all next best picks. I saw there's a bird watching
Pokemon snap style friend slop game that I'm interested in.
I haven't played any of these yet, so Solitaria is
when I'm very excited to try out. Metraveine that looks good.
Dino Blade is a stupid looking one that's a dinosaurs
souls like that I want to check out for as
they say, the lows, but you know, I mean, I
feel like I'm hearing the most about vampire crawlers, and
maybe that's to be expected. Anticipated it's a counterpick that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so hoping it will be like, oh, you know,
they got it with one game, This one's going to
be a little bit less then, and no, I think
it looks like it's going to be more than.
Speaker 2: Yes, more than yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh well, Toxic Commando is what I'm going to try
out here. Stunt Paradise to which I think is like
an isometric sort of stunt racing game. I'm gonna try
that maybe tomorrow, and then Anti Virus Survivors two thousand
and three, and then River Runners is one that we're
looking forward to trying.
Speaker 2: All right. The next one here is from Michael R. O'Leary.
You're Boy's doing another run Disney event for charity No
Kid Hungry this year. Link is in my pinpost. Some
Blue Sky thing wants to help, so everybody check out
Michael's Blue Sky I will do that. That's awesome, dude,
Thank you. Have fun at the runs Disney thing. Eat
your Vegeta says after COVID we edited up in the
Hero Fails timeline. That's yeah, that's what it feels like. Yep, yeah,
Hero Fails timeline would be that's the Twilight Princess one.
So you don't want to be in a Twilight Princess No,
I mean I would love to turn into a wolf.
I haven't tried to be fair to turn into a wolf,
so I don't know if I can yes, Oh wait
or is that no Hero Fails song that's the link
to the past. Timeline does seem too bad? They're doing
they were doing, Okay, they'll get around. This is clearly
the dark world, so yeah, yeah, well we're not bunny people.
I don't know. Brenda Tug says can't wait to leave
the X Men arcaded trackscreen on in the background of
all my team's conference calls, insert my Colossus were here?
Do you I didn't know, so you know, like, so
like that game, you think it's based off the cartoon,
but it's kind of it's kind of weird because it's
not based off the cartoon. It's based off of like
a Pilot Slash special thing made a bit before the
actual cartoon was made, and that's how they got cheaper
life licensing for that's why it hasn't had, Yeah, the
Dazzler instead, and like, yeah, the colors are a little
different and weird. Who's who is your goat to an
X Men arcade? I mean I I do like Wolverine.
Speaker 1: Wolverine is a character I like a lot, and I've
always liked Wolverine also being like in Michigan and the
Michigan Wolverine, So I kind of really made that sink in.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that was always my go to. I always
thought my car was super cool and is awesome, so
I was cool in all those games. Uh God, we
still don't have like Nightcrawler and for like a Marvel
Fighting game, they just they just won't do it. I
swear to god.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of feel like, I'm like, are they
gonna announce that for Tokon?
Speaker 2: And I believe they will but we'll see. Well, they
announced the X Men team already and it's they're kind
of like doing it like in groups of four, So
there might be like an X Men season past at some.
Speaker 1: Point, right, I mean down yeah, down the line.
Speaker 2: Oh well, he played like play, I mean held. Probably
be a little doubts. I mean, you know, they've had
a teleporter characters before. Maybe rush down style I suppose
would be his thing. Some kind of short range teleports
might be fun. Matt Rare Monkey says, Super Battle Golf
game night tomorrow, Fuck, ice boy. I was really I
really enjoyed Super Battle Golf when we were playing that.
That was a fun time. Yep.
Speaker 1: That was a that was a really good game. Is
this is this a community game night for us?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, game mess community game nights. If you want
to play, everybody, I don't want you get in on that. Yeah.
Super Battle Golf. Uh yeah, you guys can play that
and watch me play Residuel and John Bomb when you
hang out. Be good. Yeah, that's a that's a good
night right there. Zz the X says, well, Mikey ride
the Emperor's New Groove Coaster. So it's kind of more rumor,
but seems substantial. So you know they're gonna make a
Villain's land in the Magic Kingdom and Disney World. They
announced that the original plan was so it's gonna have
like a my lifts and theme coaster and some you know,
big villains ride with probably like a lot of villains.
So there's a new guy in charge of the Disney
Josh Tomorrow, and apparently he kind of came in. He's like,
I gotta I gotta really make an impact here. I
want to make put my stamp on things. Okay, yeah,
so so Redrawl think bigger is what he's saying for
a lot of these things. And apparently the part of
the new plan here is not my lips in coaster.
They'll be like I'm a Lipicaid boat ride maybe, but
the coast will be Emperor's New Groove theme based off
that pool Lever Cronk scene, you know, which sounds pretty fun.
That's a neat idea.
Speaker 1: It depends that's it's like that there's a huge chunk
of millennials that really really love that movie.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I noticed, I mean when I was in
Disney Springs, even just a couple of weeks ago, I'm like,
oh yeah, Emperor's New Groove has hit that point, huh,
because there is Emperor's New Groove stuff everywhere, very popular,
and people are very nostalgic for that one. It was
always a good one always, Oh yeah it was. It
was good from day one, yep. Absolutely. But yeah, so
you know, I I bet, I bet I'll be able
to bet it'll be a family style coaster. I bet
it will be kind of siwilar to the Slinky Dog,
which I know I did back out of doing the
recent trip because I'm a coward. But I bet I
will eventually build up courage to do the Emperor's New
Groove coaster. We'll see. It's gonna be years away, uh.
Storrelaxing says, just caught up on the box our discussion.
Superstar Saga was always my favorite on my art by far.
That one is pretty love that one. And then Burrito says,
this is to reimburse Kenny G. No idea. He was
such a laid back dude and wanting to have fun.
Brian Cox, Kenny G. Who's next? Eat It coach? You
must scanner?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're collecting celebrities now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that was wild. That was just insane it
still hasn't really sunk in.
Speaker 1: It's like one of those things where it's like that
didn't really happen, and then I go watch it again
and it's, oh my god, I'm.
Speaker 2: I need to look up his kids, like this had
to just be Cambio. I need to look up. There
is a tear in it's Cami where it's like, I'll
learn a song for you because it has to be
that right, I'll play anything you want, right.
Speaker 1: It's like, it can't be the basic tier. It's got
to be a couple up there like that. He's gonna
play his instrument for you and amazing, incredible.
Speaker 2: I loved it. That's it for the Supertest. Now, if
anybody has anything else they would like to say in
a super Chat, we will read it before at the
end of the show.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, Mike, thank you everybody for those
super chats.
Speaker 2: Oh Kenny, she's almost seventy. He did not look I mean,
I mean yeah, I mean his career took off. I
think in eighty six. The euro Was Born was his
big breakout album, which is wild to me. He looked
all he looks great. Look tell you what, big Kenny
G fan. Now that man could do no wrong as
far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 1: It was I mean, honestly, the way he belt it
out that song was just incredible.
Speaker 2: He's so good, it sounded good. I almost think he
should play it. He should play it in the set. Yeah,
put it on the put it on the stage for
the people to hear. I love to imagine it became
an ear warm and he can't get it out of
his head, just like us. All Right, So I'm gonna.
Speaker 1: Just so this a cover of a classic tune from
a video game, and I'm gonna be in the concert
when he does that.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm imagining. Now. It's gonna be like when
it's gonna be like, ohyeah, when Joe came back out
to the house. Yeah, yeah, crying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was so beautiful, exactly the same. All right, Like,
thanks for the super chats, every buddy. We got some
more coming in. Yeah, we'll get the rest of these
before the end of the show. Let's take another break.
We're gonna get set up for our Pokemon Gym Leader draft.
We'll tell you all how that's gonna work right after this.
All right, we are back, everybody. It was a very
uneventful break. There was no yelling We're all good. H
I'm Jeff Grubb. That's Mike Manatti and it's time for
a Pokemon Gym leader draft.
Speaker 2: Does anyone know how this is gonna work? Exactly one?
Speaker 3: Go to the starting PA.
Speaker 2: If only there was instructions, who's to say?
Speaker 3: Also, Hi, Sean is here to help you guys. Joys
sug just said that I help you guys out. If
you need any explanation of the gym leaders or.
Speaker 2: The Pokemon excellent. I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Uh we have this created by Joyz, who explains here
take turns drafting gym leaders. The person who most recently
went to the gym slash worked out goes first, and
this draft worked out yesterday. In this draft you will
get to see all of your drafting options at once.
This will be a snake draft, i e. The first
person to draft gets one pick, then the each person
gets two picks. From then on, you can only draft
one trainer for each Pokemon type. Once the trainer is drafted,
that trainer cannot be drafted by the other player. You
will draft twelve total trainers to create eight gems, and
on end in Elite four they can be drafted in
any order and will be replaced and will be placed afterwards.
Speaker 2: Okay, So I.
Speaker 1: Think what they're saying here is we can select anyone
from this entire list at any time, right right, you
have to.
Speaker 3: Go as long as you do the snake draft, so.
Speaker 2: We're not like going normal and then okay.
Speaker 3: Well, because there's eighteen types plus the champions, so.
Speaker 2: Right, oh that makes sense. Okay, let me see.
Speaker 3: That's why I told you guys it.
Speaker 2: I know these I know most of these assholes, Okay
for the most part.
Speaker 1: All right, So that means I'm going first, Mike, and
then you get two selections after that, and okay, okay,
I'm all right.
Speaker 2: Let me see here.
Speaker 1: So for audio listeners, I'll kind of give you some
idea of my thought process, and that is, I have
no thoughts, my brain is empty. I might actually just
go with like the ones I recognize the most, and
then I'm assuming these are probably laid out in an
order of like appearance, and I bet early on will
be like the earlier games, so I'm probably gonna lean
in that direction.
Speaker 2: That's my strategy.
Speaker 3: Each type is loosely organized by generation. I see maybe
somewhere put in after the fact, so they're a little
of order in some places, okay, but generally it's by
generation within each type. And then this is every gym leader,
every elite for remember, plus a couple special editions like champions.
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's see here. I'm gonna go with.
Speaker 1: For my first pick, I'm selecting Misty because I've seen.
Speaker 2: Cosplay of her. Mmm.
Speaker 1: Uh, that is my select She's a water type and
she is from the video game Pokemon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get to Now you get two now, red
and blue?
Speaker 1: Okay, there you go. Cool, this is a fun game.
Speaker 2: All right. Let's see here I am gonna go with.
Let me look around. There's definitely some I recognize more
than that. Let's see here.
Speaker 3: Also, Mike, you can't do reround blue because they're under
the same category.
Speaker 2: Oh my bat. Okay, all right, all right, I will
take shit just red. And then for my second one,
I will take I will take well, he can't, so
I can take that one. Wheever, now because it's water,
so I can. I don't need to be in a rush.
That makes sense. Not that many there, He's not gonna well,
he might recognize them just because of the recent memes. Uh,
that's really mhmm, got it. So many good ones here,
so to take there's popular ones. I feel like once
from the show, like, I should just take Brocks. So
many people know who Brock is. I'll take Red and Brock.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I am looking at this and I recognized
I should probably just take Blue, but I'm I don't.
I'm not gonna do that. I'm looking at so many
other characters I like better. I'm gonna go with Cynthia.
Speaker 3: Answer.
Speaker 1: Cynthia just seems cool, and I might have to pick
a lady team to fight against your your gross boys.
I could go twice now, right, so I have another one? Yeah, okay, okay.
They also have their iconic Pokemon next to them. That's
helping a little bit. I am gonna go with.
Speaker 2: Steven Nice. Nice, Okay. So much for the all girl team.
Speaker 1: Uh fuck, that was like fifteen seconds ago. That's ancient history.
Why do you keep bringing it up? What type is Stephen?
Speaker 2: Uh? He is Steel Steele? Huh Okay. I do think.
I do think female representation is important, which is why
I am not gonna take the fighting type trainer bee
beya bea I don't know, and the flying trainer Skyla. Okay, look,
you don't have to go that hard. Jesus, it's good.
Turn Now all right, let's see here. Let me look around.
Speaker 1: Okay, I can't choose anyone else from Steele, so let
me get out of there.
Speaker 2: Ah. Let's see. There's ghost type rock type.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, there there's there's another one I recognize.
Speaker 2: Let's do this. Let's do Sabrina. Hit damn it, I
wanted Sabrina.
Speaker 1: That's that felt like a good one. Okay, I get
another I did? I saw someone I recognize as well.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if this is the
one that anyone cares about.
Speaker 3: It scares me when you recognize people answering how we started?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going Giovanni, all right, there we go.
Speaker 3: Not what I expected.
Speaker 5: Light, motherfucking sad. Is this a wife episode? Are we
doing a wife?
Speaker 2: No? Okay, So I don't care about any of these
ice people. MM. I don't know. Uh boy, okay, Oh,
two good ones there.
Speaker 3: Donkey porn in Chat says this must be very painful
for Sean. I think both of you guys are making
good picks so far.
Speaker 1: Honestly, I'm just like sticking with recognize it or early
in the order, because assuming that's like.
Speaker 2: Gold and silver.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a game mess draft, So you do
want to appeal to the audience at the end of
the right.
Speaker 1: Yes, And I think I think, like if I recognize them,
there's a chance that they that these people might care.
Speaker 2: Okay, these people. I'm going to take the Electric trainer Lsa, Alisa, Okay, Alsa,
thank you awesome, and then thank you, thank you the
Dragon trainer from the og Elite for mother Lance. Like that,
I was literally going to choose Lance next. Lance is
a cool guy.
Speaker 1: And then I was probably like I was looking at
a Lisa as well, all right or Alessa?
Speaker 2: Now Sean, correct it now.
Speaker 3: I can't remember fifteen seconds.
Speaker 1: I said it the other way five seconds before that,
and I don't remember what you switch Elise. Okay, huh,
all right, well let's look here.
Speaker 2: Oh I like her.
Speaker 1: Look I'm looking at here and Dragon right now, because
I was gonna literally just click on Lance right away.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Iris.
Speaker 1: And uh, let's see, are there any good ones. Well,
there's some early ones here as well. I'm gonna go
with Whitney. I mean, give me a normal trainer, give
me a normy.
Speaker 3: Bro. You funked up with Iris.
Speaker 2: Oh no, well I like her. I don't care. I'm
gonna take for my fire trainer Flannery, and then for
ice Melanie Agenda from my chear. I have multiple men
in here.
Speaker 1: If we were filling out these whole rows, right, how
many are we picking?
Speaker 2: Total?
Speaker 1: Twelve total? Okay, I already have a water. I don't
have an electric. You took the one I wanted to
pick because you're a bad person. I don't have an ice,
I don't have a grass. Mmmm let's see, do I
have a fighting.
Speaker 3: Marya.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Karna because I see Lucario, and
I'm gonna hope people like her because they like Lucario.
That's Lucario, right, That is okay?
Speaker 2: All right? And then.
Speaker 1: Hm hmm, let's see I am. I'm gonna go down here.
I'm gonna select Karen. I would I well, who wouldn't?
What's wrong with Karen?
Speaker 3: Nothing? Nothing?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Okay, my thing continues to break a little bit. Actually,
so now I'm okay. Definitely a couple more so on
but some of them are safe because you already have
those types, so I don't need to like rush to
go get them. I think I got my last two.
Actually a question here, Now do I make a grass move?
Maybe I make just something nostalgic grass move.
Speaker 2: Or this one guy looks like a hembo and I
like that about him, and maybe other people also like
that about him. I'm gonna get Milo. I think Milo
the himbo looks fun. I'm just gonna do it. I
have to remember him. He seems a fun guy. Boy.
I feel like, I feel like one of these ghost
people should be cool, but I don't know they are.
I mean, I like how ouisers literally seems to be
this creepy kid with a with a gengar. I think, yeah,
I think I'll just pick this, this creepy child ghost.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at ghost as well. That was your two, right,
I'm going with Morty because that's cool looking.
Speaker 2: I'm bu trainer Morty.
Speaker 3: Nobody wanted rhyme the wrapping Grandma.
Speaker 2: Okay, I get to more, I get more. All right,
let's see here. Maybe we gotta go some bread and butter.
Umm no, okayah, I have I done? Ice? No? You did? Okay? Uh,
I'm gonna go with Candace. Okay, Now to finish on
my team for a water trainer, Nessa from Pokemont Sword
and Shield. I believe now I was laying on that,
I do say, because he already took misty. Uh. And
then I just like that. There's a normal type trainer
named Norman, and he's just some dude. I think I
want Norman in my crew. Norman Norman, the normal normy. Yeah. Now, Jeff,
I believe you should still have a slot for one.
Speaker 1: Now I do I have one choice left?
Speaker 2: Yes? All right? So what are my options here?
Speaker 3: I think one character was missed on here while Jeff
is picking because you mentioned, uh, Norman Norman, who is
the normal type gym leader. In Scarlett and Violet, there's
a gym leader named Larry. Was just a businessman and
he's such a bit this man that he works two jobs.
He's also an elite for member, and that he was
too busy to be here. You're too busy to be here.
You can make it this time.
Speaker 2: All right. I already have a fighting type. Do I
have a grass type?
Speaker 1: No, I'm gonna I'm gonna go with Gardenia.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, all right.
Speaker 3: So now go to league order tab. Yeah, then you
can't range.
Speaker 2: Everyone, Okay, cool. Okay, so we kind of just so
we're gonna copy and paste our pictures and we got
to figure out an order sort of. Okay, it's a
little bit weird right now, Like, yeah, I can rock
in my Norman picture. Oh I see, I could just
control see control V take care of this.
Speaker 3: I can clean this up a little bit before he
posted too cool.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm just going to put on Brock to be first. Yea,
some people are missing though. Yeah, it just pays their name.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just pays their name. I'll grab the picture towards
all right.
Speaker 2: I don't know this does a matter all that much.
Speaker 3: Don't worry. Everyone knows what Sabrian looks like.
Speaker 2: Jesus Elade four would be like, yeah.
Speaker 5: How do you feel shift picking your nothing your Italian friend?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I love my Italian friend, Giovanni.
Speaker 3: Is there any thought process to who you're playing into
the Elite four over the gym leaders?
Speaker 2: No, I do, I think. Yes, I'm trying to pick.
I'm taking a funly for it team for sure. And
there's some people blindly forward, there's that people just don't
make sense. It's gym leaders to me. Yeah, yeah, I
have a I have a system for sure. Okay, yeah,
I think about this, And what's your favorite Elite for
Elite for Yeah, I'm putting Cynthia, like.
Speaker 3: Like what a member of the Elite for Yeah. Ah,
that's a really good question. I typically don't like Elite
for members as much as a lot of the gym leaders.
I think the Elite four has often been pretty weak.
I have to think about that lot. Like Lance is
honestly out there just for being a classic. You know,
he's a dragon guy. He's cool. Yeah, he might be
my favorite Elite for members specifically.
Speaker 1: All right, as Mike finishes up his, which looks like
you might be finished.
Speaker 2: Mike, right, like, I got mine? I got mine? Yeah?
Oh can you paste the names, Mike? Yeah? I just
pasted the names in there for this. Oh, I see
what you mean. Oh I'm sorry, but bah bah okay,
gotta do a little work here. But all right, he's
got it. I see what I did wrong. While he's
doing that, I'll read up my team. My team.
Speaker 1: The gym leaders go in this order, Guardinia, Misty, Whitney, Candace, Sabrina,
Karen it sounds like mambo number five, uh, Cynthia Iris
and then for the Elite four. That's where the men
are apparently Giovanni, Stephen, Mardi, and Karina.
Speaker 3: Importantly, Korina is on top though, that's all.
Speaker 2: Is in charge of everything obviously.
Speaker 3: Well, she has the mega evolution, which, as we all know,
mega megas are so cool, right, so cool.
Speaker 1: No, I'm pretty sure that will Curry be favored with
the audience as opposed to Mike, who thinks that you
are all stupid for liking that.
Speaker 2: All right, my gym leaders in order, starting at the
beginning is Brock, then Milo, Nessa, Alistair, Skyla Flannery Bay Alissa, Alisa,
Lisa uh, and then by Elite four, which is slightly
more inclusive than Jeff's, with Norm Man, Melanie a woman uh,
woman of mine and Ratt.
Speaker 1: Oh shit, you know we have the exact same setup
for Elite four.
Speaker 2: Damn it. Well, okay, fair, all right, So Sean, you
said you'll clean this up, and clean up a.
Speaker 3: Little bit, get posted in the discord, and then we'll
get Paul going for that.
Speaker 1: All right, So here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna
let Sean handle that. We are going to take another
very quick break. We'll come back and talk about what
we've been playing. Clean up the super chats, and then
we'll get the results right after this.
Speaker 2: Gonna win. Oh, somebody said there might be a mystery
button on the page. What is that about? I don't know.
I think they're just saying things. Never mind, there is
a mystery button. I'm looking at it. What's that? Oh,
you bastard? Wait ahead, No, that's not what we were told.
This was it says pokeybont wife for the draft. Now
audio listeners, what's like audio? It does say? I clicked
there's a button.
Speaker 1: There's a button on the top right that was It's
an empty box and there's just three question marks above it.
And I have been eyeing it, but I didn't want
to break anything. And then as soon as I got
to like a whiff of permission to click it, I
clicked it. And then the words pokemon wife fu draft
popped up, which, huh, you got us?
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna go to that break. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: We can't trust anyone anymore. We're going to back black.
We'll be right back, everybody. All right, we're back. Let's
talk about what we've been playing.
Speaker 2: Mike.
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and start with you Uh, I'll talk
a little bit more about.
Speaker 2: Residue here at the end. What have you been playing, Mike, So,
Demon Tides, which is a new INND three D platform
or sequel to Demon Turf, A game I liked okay,
but the sequel is much improved. I think, uh it
kind of ditches that, like the sort of two D
pixels into three The world look to just be all
three D really focuses on the platforming. The combat is
barely existent, which is kind of nice maybe the way
it should be. And the structure is really cool. It's
a bowser's fury. Like you're kind of in this ocean
and you have this form where you're a snake. You
can just kind of zoom across the water. So you
start going to these different islands or kind of different
you know sections in the water where it's like okay,
in this place, there's like three chest to fine and
you know one hundred of these gems and now go
collect the things with your platforming powers. And you have
this great move set for the platform and we can
do things like jump and turn into a bat and
then get at the bat into a bouncy ball and
then bounce when you land and so yeah, the sh
movement very good. Game looks really pretty and the structure
seems well done. Great too. I think I'm right about
to do my first boss fight. I'm curious to see
how that goes. You know, we talk a lot about
indie three D platformers and they're like, you know, we
keep waiting for like them, this sort of catch up.
They're they're getting there, man, They're getting better. You know,
we had the you know, big Copsah, Yeah, we had
big hops earlier and that was fun. In this one
might be the most promising yet. It's been you know,
for people who've played more of it than me. It's
been reviewing very well, has like an eighty six right
now on an open critic with twenty five reviews, which
I don't know if there's an indie three D platform
that's ever reviewed. Yeah, well that's a good question, Like
how did Hatt and Time do not that well? Not
that well? I don't think I had in Time ever
did that well. And you know it's been re released.
I had Times to seventy eight, right, you could lately,
I think, like you go replayly when that came out.
I bet that's a seventy eight Okay, seventy eight that's
usually urso for one to get on the other side
of eighty five, Yes, that's incredible. That's a huge gap.
Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, that's very exciting, and it's yeah, I think
you're right that we're just kind of getting there where
these studios now have had enough time and this is
for Brass. They are going to be releasing Bubbs forty
has a follow up to this real soon. That's like
they just did this and then they're ground Busy forty.
This is not going to be an open world platform
or bubbsy forty. So maybe it's a little bit more
contained and easier to make or something. I don't know,
but it's like, okay, we could get another one of
those games that you know, when I played that in
the demo, it was excellent.
Speaker 2: It was really well done.
Speaker 1: So this is exciting times where it's like this they
can put this out.
Speaker 2: It's delivering.
Speaker 1: They learned a bunch of lessons from their first game,
you know, the combat and stuff they learned that like
during the first game.
Speaker 2: They updated the first.
Speaker 1: Game did not have those problems anymore and sort of
like build on that and have such confidence in knowing
what you're doing. It's oh okay that there's still a
lot of room for them to grow, and they are
growing into that space.
Speaker 2: Very very cool. Yeah, So if you like three D
platformers like we do, and you're kind of a bummed
out that it sort of feels like you just kind
have to wait for whenever a Nintendo Mix one or
maybe you get an astrobot as a big surprise, this
one is certainly worth checking out. It's Demon Tides. It's
on Steam. There is a demo. You can go give
it a look.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna play it myself, but I might
throwing on the TV for the kids and see what
they think.
Speaker 2: Because they loved they loved Boucher's Fury. So yeah, it's
bright and you know your play is like a demon
but it's very much a everyone one vibe for sure.
Speaker 1: Exactly fun little Demon girl. Yeah, that's that's the kind
of stuff that Emmy would be into. So yeah, very cool.
Anything else, Mike.
Speaker 2: They playing more Meum, I'm still trying to kind of
I don't know, it's surprise how slow that game is. Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of what like bounced me off at
the beginning. Now I was never not having a good time.
I just was like, I mean, it didn't help that,
Like multiple people came to me like I like this
better than than the Hollow Night Silk Sock, but it
should have done that. I will say, I don't mean
to be coming at anybody's chuck, but you gotta talk
about run backs.
Speaker 2: First off, you don't run like you know, I'm like
three hours in this game and I basically still have
the one spawn point still, and I'm kind of like
really reaching out in this world and there's hard bosses.
I don't mind dying a boss trying again, but I
am walking back slowly a lot of times. I just
now like got this ability where I can kind of
like do a bit more air movement, which I was
I was sort of desperate for, you know, like I
kind of have thought that's what the first boss. And
all I can really do in the game was jump
and do this three attack comba, no dodging, no pairy,
no nothing. Okay, that's the first buss. Fine. I bought
like three or four bosses now and I'm still mostly
just jumping to avoid things then hitting them, and I'm
like I want a little I want to I want
a little bit more to be going on during it.
Maybe I'm spoiled because the last one I played was
Nine Souls and that has a lot going on combat wise, right,
and then you know, so does Silk Song and also
movement wise, So you know, I I it's such a
very pretty game and the vibes are so good that
I am still enjoying it, and I bet it is
going to be going places, and I want to see
those places still, but I do want it to get
there or to kind of move along soon. I want
some more things to happen. Uh. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I will be curious to hear like the next time
you talk about it, to see like how you feel
at that point.
Speaker 2: That will tell me whether or not I need to
go back. You know.
Speaker 1: I've heard like, oh, there's some early pickups that really
change things, and uh and it's like, well, how early,
because yeah, I agree, it's probably not in the first
three hours, but it's like, oh yeah, there's like a
health pick up early on that makes the bosses a
little bit easier to deal with, and a lot of
people miss that. It's like, Okay, well, I guess if
I go find that that could change things a little bit,
but I kind of want, like you want to be
doing more with the character. I think I want things
to feel faster and more just actively engaged, and I
wasn't getting that right away. I so, yeah, Resident Evil
requiems what I kind of was playing a lot of recently.
It's why I didn't have much to talk about it
on like last week week's episode. I kind of started
that up and could it put it down. I just
it was so much fun. It really, Like I already
talked about the pacing, but the things you're doing in
that game, like you're just you're going through that chronic
care center. You are unlocking the doors and figuring out
how to navigate that space, and you're becoming the master
of it, even as Grace and and all that stuff
works really well. Like it's like you get to a
padlock and you got to get the thing to dissolve
the padlock, and it's in this room and of course
that's going to lead to some other monster up and
then you got to go over here and get another thing.
And the map is just so like tightly designed that
once you kind of like know it like the back
of your hand.
Speaker 2: It's so fun to move around it as that character.
Speaker 1: And then it does the awesome thing where it's like,
now that you know this space so well as Grace,
and sure she got a little bit more capable, but
she's still much less capable, much less capable than Leon.
Well guess what, Leon just broke through that door that
you couldn't figure out why you couldn't open as Grace,
and now he's here in that space as well, the
space that you've learned, So you're really just gonna crush
skulls with this dude. And that feels so amazing. It's
so cool to have them share that space, which is
something they talked about in the trailer, and I didn't
really understand what they meant. They're like, oh, leave some
items for Leon. I're like, fuck, fuck the level. They like,
the hell I'm gonna do that. No Grace needs that stuff.
It's like, oh, it turns out there's a bunch of
like closets that only Leon can get into, so that
like you could see these things as Grace, but Leon's
gonna be able to get that stuff and have like
completely completely different idea. So it's well thought out from
that perspective. It's really just like if you did not
need a bunch of handgun ammo in one room. It
might still be there for Leon later. And then later
in the game you shift to Leon's perspective and it's
an action game and it's much more like Resident Evil four,
and you're gonna be upgrading weapons. You are going to
be upgrading like your armor, and that stuff happens very
very fast. It's a condensed aversion of that experience, but
it's still really fun. Now you don't get the full
effect of like nn, I can't wait to have enough
money to upgrade that gun. You get money from every
zombie kill, so you're killing every possible zombie you can find.
Like there was zombies far away that were never a threat,
and I was killing them with a sniper rifle because
why not, I'm going to get more money. You get
a lot of money on any one of these runs
through the set pieces that you're about to do. You
come back and you can almost upgrade an entire gun
in one go, and oftentimes like two or three guns.
So a very condensed experience of that, but it still
delivers on that like the power fanan and just Leon
being a cool dude, and then they put him in
awesome situations. Nothing I'm gonna spoil, but there's some very
memorable ones of like, oh man, that this way of
interacting with the world and the effect it has on
these characters very cool.
Speaker 2: I just like this.
Speaker 1: It felt dangerous for both me and the enemies, and
it became cool to like be like, Okay, can I
do that?
Speaker 2: Yes? It works.
Speaker 1: So Yeah, there's just a lot of that stuff. And
then it's a silly Resident Evil game. There are moments
where it's just completely petrifying, and then when they go
to Leon, he is, without fail, anytime he kills anybody
dropping a one liner, Like in every single cut scene
there is a new one liner from this guy, and
they're all pretty hokey and fun. And then it goes
back to Grace and it's very tense and kind of
like tough to get through. And then it cuts back
to Leon and you're doing this big action set piece
and during a cut scene, and it's absurd, almost like
Resident Evil six, But it feels almost nostalgic to have
that back at this point because it's so much better
in every way in Resident Evil six. Yeah, it's just
a game that, like Capcom could only make it this
point after having done this for so long, having learned
a bunch of lessons the hard way the hard way,
having a bunch of wins under their belt with recent
Resident Evil games, and just kind of the way I
would really describe this game is it's you know, the
things people don't like about Resident Evil games are the
last act in a lot of times, like, oh, it's
not as strong as the earliest parts of the game.
This is like several first acts of a Resident Evil
game all put together. And I think people might later
be like, oh, man, I kind of wish they would
have taken all these things to their natural conclusion. But
it's like, oh, it's it's clearly a better game for
them just doing the awesome stuff that they would have
done at the beginning of any one of these games
over and over again, and it's yeah, it just delivers
on that.
Speaker 2: It is funny how often that is the case with
these games, right, Like, yeah, like, oh, the last third
is not the best part.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the common complaint, and here it's just like you're not.
I mean, it's also true here, but it's like, yeah,
it's mitigated somewhat.
Speaker 2: I think, what what were you playing this on? Switch too?
Speaker 1: I played in the entire entirety on switch To, and yeah,
I it was just awesome, Like it was completely like
it wasn't just a pleasant surprise. It's like, oh no,
that was just another way to play that game, completely
reasonable and viable compared to anything else. Obviously, a lot
of that comes down to the tech in the switch
To versus like a Steam deck with the DLSS and
the ray tracing hardware built in, although I've not like
looked to see if that's making a difference, but that
has made difference in other games that like, oh, I'm
surprised how well this runs on switch To, like Star
Wars Outlaws, but yeah, like you're gonna see some artifacting
in the hair, and that is mostly where you're gonna
notice it. And then the majority of the time, a
lot of the time, it's gonna run at sixty frames
per second, and then there will be noticeable dips. There
will be times, like playing handheld the VRR, the sort
of g sync of it all helped cover up anytime
it was dipping from sixty to like fifty frames per second.
Never really notice that it does that somewhat frequently, and
then there are less frequent times, but definitely noticeable times
where it drops way below that, maybe more frequently with
Leon early on with Leon, although that gets better over time.
And then anytime there's like a big monster on the
screen with Grace and then like four other zombies walking around,
you'll you'll get it there as well.
Speaker 2: Never was it like so bad that it was unplayable.
Speaker 1: There was definitely times where it's like, oh, if someone
is trying to get a perfect, pristine experience here and
they paid seventy dollars for this game and they could
have played it on a PlayStation five Pro or a PC,
well yeah, don't look. If you're going to be playing
on a TV, go play it on one of those
consoles instead, for sure. But if you can only get
on the switch to you are not going to get
some diet experience.
Speaker 2: This is the full, you know, the full.
Speaker 1: Game, and it's not like some like it's magically reduced
like some Switch one Miracle ports were where it's like, yeah,
I guess you're playing outer worlds, but it's not really
like it's not really that game because it's just so
diminished in so many ways. That's not what it is here.
It's kind of miracle how good it looks.
Speaker 2: Is the product placement distracting or even all that nosable
or do you think of the portion that could the right?
Speaker 1: Those are front weighted, they're front loaded. The car shows
up in a few early cut scenes. He definitely checks
his watch. I forgot about it after that. I definitely
the first couple of times I noticed it, and then
once you're into the meat of the game, it doesn't
really come up again.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like everyone got their money's worth.
Speaker 1: I feel like Capcom like tastefully implemented it into the game,
and those companies should be happy because they are prominently
displayed early on where the most.
Speaker 2: People are going to be watching. You know that part
of the game awesome. I can't wait to storry it's tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I just think you're you're really gonna
like it. I definitely one of those ones where it's like, oh, yeah,
I'm Leon, now I can parry again, and once.
Speaker 2: You remember that hatch.
Speaker 1: And then like sharpening the hatchet, it feels really good
and stuff like that. And I I love like all
the zombies, especially in the Chronic Care Center, having their
strong personalities of like that's the maid zombie. So if
there's a mess in the hallway, she's going to get
pissed off an attack. And there's the lights out zombie,
the guy that was clearly clearly like security and made
sure that lights went out at this hospital when he
was you know, a normal human, and now anytime lights
are on, he goes crazy and he runs to that
light switch and turns it off. So you just go
turn a light switch off on at the end of
the hallway and he'll just go get stuck down there
staring at the light of that switch then and he won't.
Speaker 2: Bother you anymore.
Speaker 1: So there's like cool stuff like that, where like you
can hear these zombies or whatever they are, like talking
to like kind of mumbling to themselves in a half
lucid way about what they used to do or something
that bothers him. That like a patient that has bandages
over his eyes, then sound really bothers him because he's
got like amplified hearing or whatever. So if you are
allowed around them, they freak out. Stuff we've seen before,
but they've kind of extrapolated on all those ideas in
some really smart ways here to make every room feel memorable,
not just like the named zombies or the named enemies.
Oh no, there's a lot of character here. So yeah,
just a game. I'm I'm really happy I got to play,
and uh one, I want to replay.
Speaker 2: Kind of immediately.
Speaker 1: I already have started replaying it on the switch to
I am going to replay it on PC just to
see what it looks like. So yeah, all right, anything else, Mike.
Speaker 2: No, I want to wait till I finish the Liza
p delC before I talk about There's a super chat
about it too that we can do. But maybe before
the super chats, we should see about the Pokemon draft.
We have the results of that.
Speaker 3: I can give if you do that before super chests.
Speaker 2: Let's do it, yeah, because then we just get the
super chats all and any more that come in and
we'll wrap up the show. But yeah, that's what you're
gonna see. Who has won. So look at your team.
Speaker 1: It's pretty strong, a lot a lot of wife us
and husbondos.
Speaker 2: We just have to I think we've done here, not
that people have voted. I'm going to say I do
expect to win, but I don't know.
Speaker 3: After much thinking, much consideration. Christian Effergal Olivia is in
the Ilola Elite for Jeff, there's a link for you
in the YouTube chat. But everyone else has thought about
and voted on the Pokemon draft, and the people have spoken.
The community has decided. Mike Siyebrows just raised with bit
D six percent of the vote. So yeah, pretty clear
win this time. Pretty clear win this time, but made
closer in some people would like, oh my god, D
six the link percent of the vote. The winner is
somehow Jeff Grubb.
Speaker 1: Eat shit, someone Dick, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Let's go, Mike, Homie, you had Nessa, Skyla, be Elisa
and Flannery like, I don't know, man, you.
Speaker 2: It's it's it's kind of sad how much we can't
even do these anymore. People would actually it's kind of sad.
Mike will say it's rigged.
Speaker 1: Of course he will, oh, dominion voting systems.
Speaker 2: I'm Mike, I got read in.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, not Evennessa could save you. Uh look look
bud rigged, rigged. But Mike, you nerved this win and
every other draft to win.
Speaker 3: The people are against the other the bullshit.
Speaker 2: Hear that, sean Essa.
Speaker 1: A lot of people were very into my picks. Now
I understand they were maybe even more into Mike's picks.
Speaker 3: But look, you know I was just a big Norman
fan or yeah, Mike had Norman.
Speaker 1: What it was a perfect high up.
Speaker 2: I killed it. I don't know. I can't even be mad.
I'm just so I'm like a little over it. Like, Okay,
Cynthia pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I did have Cynthia.
Speaker 2: It's Cynthia Sabrina. Those are the only two of yours
I wish I had.
Speaker 1: There's a lot in chat that said Jeff had Cynthia,
Like there's a lot of that, like, look, maybe Cynthia
could be the kind of thing where people just have
their one favorite and that waited it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll take one sky of over twenty. Cynthia's any day.
Speaker 1: I clearly, and it blew up in your face, just
like always, thank you well when thank you everybody. I
appreciate it and you're so kind.
Speaker 2: It's incredible. State.
Speaker 1: I was voting for Giovanni. You see, look Mike discounts
your votes. I want to think everybody who voted for
Mike and me.
Speaker 2: I thank you so much. Do you have Funny's a jerk?
Speaker 3: I think this sums up Friendly Channel on chard Wolf
says that Cynthia is all I needed. I think that
sums up this one.
Speaker 2: And you understand how there's apparently always this one magic bullet.
It's the one. It's always the one I don't have.
Somehow though, I get I feel like any situation, I
have ten of them that should be the magic bullet.
But all of a sudden, no one cares about.
Speaker 5: This is they're drafted.
Speaker 2: Chef wins in the oh. I can't believe that. Thanks
for that fun fact, fantastic, thank you. You got him,
but you got him around the horn.
Speaker 1: He was waited in your favor because he's already clearly
very hot, but you got him.
Speaker 2: All right, Well done, dude, you all right?
Speaker 1: Uh I will we'll post this on some kind of
social media and we'll see and we'll see what people say.
Speaker 2: Mike, I'll have to fix up. The last time on
social media they did not like mine. I can't remember
what it was, but they were like, whatever, b is
there a fucking asshole when we hate it was their
cable channel. I think I don't think they understood my
cable chap.
Speaker 1: I was counting on people not fully understanding that. All right,
that doesn't for that, Mike. Let's do those super chats
if you can handle it, if it's okay, yeah, I'm
trying to recovers still, ye are all right now?
Speaker 2: Next one is from Banjo Kazui. Sixty fours is Happy Thursday, guys.
I hope you're enjoying Lives of P Mikey. I've been
enjoying your playthrough. We may never get a Bloodboard sequel remake,
but I think this is just as good as that
would be. Yeah. So I beat Bass Liza P and
I'm now in the DALC. That game is very good.
I let the game yep a lot. It is like
that's another one where like that's only like a low lady,
unopen critic because you know, from from software games are
very good, of course, and I've been really enjoying them,
but like this is just as good as a lot
of them. It really is. And you know, when I'm
playing this on my stream, I still get some people.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Jeff, can you repeat that the last like
ten seconds because the audio cutout just for people.
Speaker 2: Oh oh sure sure. Yeah. So you know, I've been
playing this game and I'm like, this is this is
just as good has a lot of the from soft games.
I don't know that that's still upsets of people are
still some Like I was trying to be like, okay,
you know, people watch me. Surely the FRUMSAFT fans will
be like this is better than Dark Souls too. There's
still a lot of people like nah. I was like, man,
dark boy, we can't even give this one over Dark Soul.
Dark Souls two is kind of it's kind of a lot, Jeff,
I bet how much of Darkseils two have you ever played? None?
Speaker 1: I played Dark Soul. Okay, oh interesting, I kind of
want to see for myself. Yeah, I know there's like
a lot of people who are not a lot of
there are some people who are deep, deep defenders of
that game, and then a lot of people who think.
Speaker 2: By far the world and you're seeing it here like yeah, no,
Dark Souls two is uh is definitely And I got
there from a lot of people and like, yeah, you know,
I'm not like, I respect the opinion, but I to me,
I'm like, man, I'm surprised by that because seems just
I don't know, it just seems seems a lot more
smooth and refined and whatnot and really good boss fights.
I like the world quite a bit. I think the
whole kind of you know Italian uh of eighteen hundreds
kill Bloodborn right, and you know Budbourn's on a sixty
frames per second and this resolution is kind of litw
and crappy. This game looks really pretty, but it's it
is also very pary based, and I like parry, I
like pairing. It makes a big difference. Yes, you don't
have to pay in this game, like maybe in a
sec row, but you're really rewarded to It is I
think the optimal way to play, and I really enjoy that.
Some of the last boss fights especially super cool. Yeah,
I'm having great time with it. The DLC has been
fun so far. It's set in like a zoo, which
is a really neat place to set one of these.
I thought a really angry zebra elephant hybrid and it
was terrifying. So it's good stuff. But yeah, yeah, I
A I'm going to talk more once I finished that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, once you finish it and
you and you're ready to talk more about it, yeah,
I'll have some questions for you.
Speaker 2: And I'll tell everybody exactly which from software games it's
better than, because that will love that. Yes, people cannot
wait for you to do that. Oh, people can't wait
to hear me say that. I had more fun with
this than blood for people are gonna love all right,
more super chests. I had to. I went away from
suits remote see people were yelling at me. Uh and
they were bitch says is places some port pcport's done.
The idea of exclusivity coming back. I'm thirty and only
want a PC Uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think I think it's gonna be
a little bit more limited. I think most, even single
player narrative games will come eventually, maybe just not as
quickly as we once thought. And in this strategy, just
like all of them, seem temporary. I don't know how
long this lasts.
Speaker 2: We'll see. Uh. Next up is from the entire Wolf Mike,
give me your favorite character for each roll and Overwatch
right now. Been obsessed with lately and have been having
so much fun on Rhyan, Bendetta and zen YadA. Yeah.
I have been playing a lot of Overwatch till as well.
It's been super fun. I've been playing comp I got
placed in the Gold and made my way back into Platte,
which is where I always lived back in my old days.
I was always just platte. Everyone was able to do uh,
never quite crawled into the diamond. Maybe I'll try to
do that. But I think that why I'm liking as
so much is that they released always do characters, and
I really do like playing as them. Like if I'm
doing tank, i am gonna be Domina, I'm doing damage
probably Emery, and if I'm not gonna be him, I'm
gonna be on Rau on the kind of fire flanker
then then heels actually call that I'm saying. I said
a fire flanker, uh, fire winker uh uh. Mazuki the uh,
the new healer that concerts this hat arounds actually been
super funness. So I've actually been playing against the most.
I've been mostly doing healing ranked matches. It's hard to
play the cat in ranked because he's always banned right
now and you know Nurves are coming. Uh. So I
have been playing Mazuki a lot and it's been a
ton of fun. But yeah, tons of good characters.
Speaker 5: I'm still playing because I got silver and I was like,
fuck this game. I lost above diamond Bug in the day,
so I was like, eh, this game is no good anymore.
Speaker 1: I did do damage but go ahead. I was say,
I had a really good time playing that game.
Speaker 2: That's all go ahead. Yeah, I just I did damage
placements too and got just in gold with that. But yeah,
it's all. God, it's really fun right now. I think
there's like another character coming at some point here and
that'll be fine. But I'm just running variety of the
good vibes right now. That is happening if we're watching though.
In Blizzard World, I think midnight early Access has already
started for World of Warcraft, so I'm like, oh, dang,
do I need to already be checking that out. I
kind of forgot that was absolutely I still haven't tried
very soon. Yeah, I still haven't tried the new Diablo
two class, so I want to play that in some
way here soon as well. So yeah, Blizzard popping off
again all of a sudden, and they have a blizz
Con this year, whether they'll probably not some other stuff,
so they they might be riding high for a bit
here again. Excellent. Next one here is Shaggy Crow. Hey, guys,
I got my ant Thor and love it. I guess
I need to build a library of ROMs for that
right now. Any suggestions of less lesser known games to find.
You know, Front Mission. They made a two deep, like
size growing action shooter game for the Super Famicom, but
it never came out in the US, but there was
a fan translation of it, so you can play it
now and it's actually really neat. It's called Front Mission
gun Hazard, so yeah, go get the gun Hazard English
transracation thing. Such a good title. Yeah right, yeah, right's fun.
Speaker 1: I played it a little bit on a recent stream
and I've been playing more of it. Power Shovel, Get that.
That's a lot of fun. It's just that steam powered
shovel thing. But it's just an arcade game, and so
there's a bunch of fun, like wacky things you do
with a big piece of heavy machinery. Let's tail the Sun.
That's a good one. I streamed all of that. That's
worth checking out. And an Incredible Crisis is just at
this point pretty well known, but you should definitely play
it if you haven't.
Speaker 2: Voe search for Eden for Supernintendo as well. That's a
weird one, which is fun if you've never if you've
never played Rocket that you need to to appease me,
say just this game. Uh, next one is from Mad
Maddie says, Hey, Jeff and Mike, I'm hitting one year
sober this weekend, and your content has helped more than
I could ever express. Thank you for your welcome for
the welcoming community I've created. Can I get a trans
rights Yeah? Transwrts are human rights? Trans really, Mad Maddie, Uh,
thank you. Great to hear that. Now I feel bad.
I drink a beer on this room for the first
time in a while, But good for you. Keep it up.
Speaker 1: Yep, hang out with us more. That's great.
