I'm back to It's been a little 51 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.199 bit since I've been playing so much. Like I'm always 52 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:11.439 playing a ton of games, but this has been so 53 00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:14.199 much that it's like my I'm having to stop at 54 00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:16.879 times because my hands are hurting because I'm playing for 55 00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:19.639 so many hours in a row and all weekend and 56 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.400 numerous different games. And it's a good feeling. It feels 57 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:23.759 like home. 58 00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:27.520 No, yeah, exactly, it is fun. Even I'm usually pretty good, 59 00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:31.360 but the amount of switch to deepad using I've been 60 00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:33.879 up too lately. I think I've actually like built up 61 00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:37.520 a cows or something. It's feeling better. Yeah, I pushed 62 00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:38.000 through the pain. 63 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.240 I started using the dpad on the switch too, and 64 00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:42.800 it's much much better in certain ways. When I'm like 65 00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:45.039 actually just exploring, I'll go use the analog stick to 66 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.719 save my life. But I've got I pushed back to 67 00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:49.080 the pain, and now I think I'm used to it. 68 00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:49.360 Now. 69 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:51.879 I will say I've been swapping between you know, talking 70 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:53.360 about holl And I will go into the game later. 71 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:57.919 But the controller, I've been swapping between Elite controller, the 72 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:02.080 steam Deck, and now I think the eight bit do Ultimate. 73 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.879 Uh yeah, that's the main one, because like you know, 74 00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:07.599 the Elite's a great controller, but like I do just 75 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:10.840 exclusively use d pad on holiday and so it's like 76 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:12.719 I did find myself, like when I switched to the 77 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.240 eight bit Doo, It's just like, oh okay, this placement 78 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.360 is much much better for all to night. So that's 79 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:19.560 been my go to it. And like steam Deck, I'll 80 00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:21.319 get to bosses and stuff on the steam Deck and 81 00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.800 it's just like love the steam Deck, but I'm actively 82 00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:26.439 doing worse with that, you know. 83 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:30.160 Interesting, It's kind of annoying how when we first saw 84 00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.000 the switch, we're like, wow, they're gonna be able to 85 00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:35.240 have modular controllers. They can curate all sorts of different 86 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:38.160 controller things for this, and they just kind of never 87 00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:39.399 did that action. 88 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.639 Yeah, third party, they'd party stepped in. I'm hoping for 89 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.319 the same thing here. If I get good real dpad 90 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.199 on the switch to you, I'll take it define With 91 00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:49.759 this I'm doing, I'm doing all right with it, but 92 00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:51.720 it's it's much better with the real deepad the pro 93 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.319 controller for the switch to really good way to Plat's 94 00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:54.439 a g. 95 00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:57.759 I I assume is performance great on switched to, because 96 00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.240 like anyone even mention it, so I assume it's not. 97 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:01.360 I think it's good on switch one. 98 00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:04.800 Should I guess it shouldn't be surprising, but you know, 99 00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:06.120 you'll be surprised. 100 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.800 Sometimes we had rage bound like not on recently, right, 101 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:12.680 So it's yeah, that was a little I wonder tech 102 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:14.040 support from Randy picture. 103 00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:17.279 Okay, I'm gonna get on my Twitter real quick. 104 00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:19.360 He knows what's talking about. 105 00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.560 Yeah, if you're already in the you already got the 106 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.759 hoodie rock in there, that looks nice, that looks comfy. 107 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:28.120 I gotta go hoodie shopping.

One of the 171 00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:07.079 restaurants in their shopping area, which is by the water. 172 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:09.279 The restaurant is made to like an old like steam 173 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:14.839 wheel boat or whatever. Right. Uh, somebody swim through, like 174 00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:20.199 in scoop a gear the boat after midnight and robbed them, 175 00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:25.319 like swam away with the money and I think maybe 176 00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:28.240 getting away with it.

Some 178 00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:32.879 people don't really know what he's looking with. 179 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:37.879 It was like a lot of money too, wasn't It 180 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.639 was tenth over twenty k or something so. 181 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:44.120 Like so like cash in the register for the rest 182 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.159 keep spent at the restaurant we're talking. 183 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:47.440 About, because I think it was like midnights.

I guess twenty 186 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:57.759 thousand dollars worth. Still, yeah, this is Paddlefish. Uh. That 187 00:08:57.799 --> 00:08:59.320 restaurant's been there forever. When I was a kid, was 188 00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:01.320 the Empress lit And I remember it because they used 189 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.879 to do character meals there and Chris was a baby 190 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:06.120 and he put Donald Duck in the eye. That Donald 191 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:08.679 Duck guy had to pretend like it hurt, you know, 192 00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:11.600 that kind of thing. But yeah, there's a scupa gear 193 00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:15.000 bandit in Disney World right now. Nothing is safe anymore, 194 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:19.039 nothing is sacred. That's uh, that rules. Actually, I'm a 195 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:22.879 huge fan of this. Keep it, keep it up. Yeah, 196 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:25.679 I do feel bad for like the poor people who 197 00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:28.120 worked at this restaurant. You got stuck up like that 198 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:29.879 was scary? I bet, yeah, of course. 199 00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:30.360 Yeah. 200 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.240 But otherwise you know the money, Mike, if. 201 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.320 You're gonna if you were to gonna get stuck up anywhere, 202 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:36.559 where would you want to get stuck up? I guess 203 00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.879 actually probably not Disney because that would ruin it for you. 204 00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:40.960 Yeah, that might be weird. Beveries. The place opened the 205 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:42.399 next day. Do you think you think that was a 206 00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:44.679 little cord Like what what do you think they were 207 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:45.519 talking about? 208 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.279 I mean, you like you like you're saying they had 209 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:49.840 they just opened as normal the next day. 210 00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:52.799 Yeah, like continue service you do. I guess what are 211 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:53.480 you gonna do? Right? 212 00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:55.679 Yeah, it's money. 213 00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:57.080 You gotta make my money, make the money back. 214 00:09:57.159 --> 00:10:00.320 Yeah, get the work. I wonder if like it's like Disney, like, 215 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:02.360 are they all huddled up right now, like we can't 216 00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:04.799 let him get away with this. There's gonna be copycat criminals, 217 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:07.320 just gonna be just a sea of scupid divers like 218 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.559 trating their restaurants. They'll just be like, well we found him. 219 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:15.679 That will be like a a mannequin in the river 220 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:17.120 or whatever, and they'll be like, oh, we got him. 221 00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:18.799 Don't look too closely. They'll just take it. 222 00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:20.480 The thing where he's gonna hat that's got like a 223 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:21.519 duck on top of it. 224 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.440 Donal. It's like he's surprised it worked, because I mean, 225 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:30.919 the idea seems ludicrous if you said it out loud. 226 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.039 I think to do something like that, you have to 227 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:34.320 have a certain amount of confidence. 228 00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:36.720 So I think I thought it was gonna work. You know, 229 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.720 can't be me, can't be me. I neither can tell. 230 00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:46.120 That's what he would say if it was you. I think, look, 231 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:47.960 I'm here. I don't know if you know this. It's 232 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.080 a bit of a trek to get the well Disney World. 233 00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:56.480 Unfortunately, he either hyper loop elon Musting that takes him 234 00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:58.679 from Ohio straight to Orlando. 235 00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:02.279 Oh, we can't. They're water tables too high there though. 236 00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:04.480 It can't be an underground thing, be a big problem. 237 00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:06.519 It's all just they don't have basements in Florida. In 238 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:07.559 most parts of Florida. 239 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:10.159 Do you know that, Dan, because the sense New Orleans 240 00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:10.480 is like that. 241 00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:13.360 Yeah. Yeah, it's very New Orleans coded. That's what they're 242 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:14.639 always saying about Florida. 243 00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:18.159 Very New Orleans a lot more than Florida. 244 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.879 Yeah. Yeah, they have a New Orleans in Disney World. 245 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.679 I'm gonna stay at the New Orleans.

New Orleans girlfriends, the new Canadian girlfriend. 256 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:09.600 The Canadians still are mad at me. No Canadian would 257 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.120 date you, not after what you did. I'm blacklisted from that. 258 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:15.559 I don't think I can cross the border. It's too bad. 259 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:17.960 We used to go to Toronto for vacations when I 260 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:19.399 was a kid. It was very nice there. 261 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.440 It's a dumb question, but I don't remember needing one 262 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:24.399 when I was younger. You need a passport to go 263 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:26.600 to Canada? No, right, yes, yeah, you're right. 264 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:28.879 And I was a kid, It certainly wasn't like I 265 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:30.639 did have a passport as a child when we were 266 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:32.720 crossing the border by Niagara Falls wherever. 267 00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:34.879 That was, right, Yeah, even like it's like a young 268 00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:37.200 adult like I did, went over to Canada a couple times. Okay, 269 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:40.000 So that means when that passport I found that it's 270 00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:41.559 so out of date that I can't just renew it. 271 00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:43.279 I'm gonna have to get a new one, all right, Cool, 272 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:43.720 that's fine. 273 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.000 I mean I should probably just do that immediately. Anyways. 274 00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:49.519 Yeah, that's why I'm thinking about it for sure, but 275 00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:50.440 it's like still a. 276 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:52.720 Pain in the ass.

Yeah, 375 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:44.119 there's a lot lot. 376 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:47.240 Yeah. So I when I got that first ending, it 377 00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:49.680 was twenty hours in for me, and I've spent another ten. 378 00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:52.920 So I'm like at thirty right now, and I basically 379 00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:55.279 kind of at the end of that stuff. Even because 380 00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:57.960 I have done most of the town quests, I've gotten 381 00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:01.039 the fleas to their last location and that kind of stuff, 382 00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:03.960 got all sorts of pickups. I think I have max 383 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:07.200 health now. I have a ton of extra. 384 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:10.799 Silk upgrade my health once is that, Like I'll tell 385 00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:12.799 you what. The first one took me forever to do. 386 00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:15.400 A lot of it's in that too, Jeff, don't worry 387 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:15.680 about it. 388 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:15.880 I have. 389 00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:19.680 I'm at the end of back too, Like, yeah, you're 390 00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:22.559 having eight masks your health and I've gotten like three 391 00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:24.400 sword or needle upgrades. 392 00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:28.680 Yeah, I I mean I got like three additional mass 393 00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:30.519 the entire times. I think there's only twelve of them. 394 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:32.880 I think I that's my I have twelve of them. 395 00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:36.039 If there's somehow for extra one signing round for another pip, 396 00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:38.599 I'd be surprised, but maybe there is. I don't know, 397 00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:41.440 So I have three extra health. Now this game is 398 00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:46.359 so freaking good. I just love everything about the way 399 00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:52.559 it feels. I love this world and how kind of 400 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:57.759 weird and serious it takes itself. The boss design is 401 00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:03.559 absolutely incredible. Sean is now a piece of banana bread. 402 00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:08.319 That's the subtle way of saying he's going piss. 403 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:10.240 Yeah, i'd see, I see. 404 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:12.240 We just put him on blast instead. 405 00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:15.440 Yeah, Mike, I'm I'm with you. Like I started this 406 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:17.839 and like, you know, I had the turnaround where it's 407 00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:20.160 like I hated Holi Night the original one. Then I 408 00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:22.519 played through it all and I gained a respect for it, 409 00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:24.319 Like it didn't become like one of my favorite games 410 00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:26.759 of all time. But I was like, I understand why 411 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:30.480 people like this a lot. But Silksong, now, the way 412 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:32.839 I feel about it is the way I feel people 413 00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:34.759 were talking about the first one and being like this 414 00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:36.079 is one of the best games of all time, Like 415 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:38.240 I am fully obsessed with this. Like for me, it's 416 00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:41.279 a difference between like the First Metroid and Super Metroid 417 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:44.240 to me, you know, okay, First Metroid obviously good game 418 00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:46.079 did a lot of things great, but Super Metroid is 419 00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:48.640 an absolute all timer. And so I went from going 420 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.279 in with like I didn't really like pay too much 421 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:53.200 attention to the hype, you know, like I realized it 422 00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:54.599 was a meme. It came up all the time and 423 00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:56.799 stuff like that, but I never really thought much about 424 00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:58.759 it or got myself too hyped up for it. And 425 00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:00.240 I started it up and I was like, Okay, I 426 00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:02.359 wonder like, there's no way it's gonna like, you know, 427 00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:04.559 the hype is a very specific thing with this one. 428 00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:06.640 It was almost this meme of how long it took 429 00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:08.599 and everything, like I'm sure it's gonna be a good game. 430 00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:10.519 I'm sure it's gonna be like a eighty five something 431 00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:13.759 like that. And then the more and more I played it, 432 00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:16.920 including right now, like I've beaten the game and I 433 00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:18.880 think I'm more into it right now than I think 434 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:21.279 I ever have been, and like it's helped out a 435 00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:23.799 ton by Like at this point, once you're deep in 436 00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:26.440 the game, the mobility stuff you have, it is just 437 00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:29.720 so fun to just zip around the map. It's like 438 00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:31.559 it reminds you of like at the end of Bloodstains, 439 00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:34.279 another one of my favorite Metroid manias. You just have 440 00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:37.680 the most insane moment you can basically fly around the 441 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:40.200 entire map and I'm just doing fetch quests. But it's 442 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:42.200 fun just because like the moment to moment is so great. 443 00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:44.960 That's where I am with this, And so, like you know, 444 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:46.880 there are things where it's like you get to Hunter's 445 00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:49.599 March or the Bio place or whatever early on when 446 00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:51.359 you don't have a lot of mobility, and it's almost 447 00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:53.799 more frustrating than it is fun. And I do understand 448 00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:55.519 a lot of the pushback and the difficulty because of that. 449 00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:58.160 But then like you get over that hump, and when 450 00:20:58.160 --> 00:21:00.000 you get more options, you get more tools, you get 451 00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:02.279 more things that like boss fighting out. It's still hard. 452 00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:04.440 There's hard platform and there's hard boss fights, but you 453 00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:06.720 just have so many different ways you can approach it 454 00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:10.279 that I think you definitely get over that difficulty hump 455 00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:11.119 at a certain point. 456 00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:14.960 Yeah, it feels like a very like a strong expression 457 00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:17.359 of what you were describing. There is the metro advanue, right, 458 00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:20.480 you go into a place and it's dangerous, and then 459 00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:23.000 you get skills and you also become better at the 460 00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:24.440 game because you've been playing it for a long time, 461 00:21:24.440 --> 00:21:26.279 you understand what it expects of you, but you also 462 00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:29.240 say to yourself, I got the skills or the abilities 463 00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:30.000 in the game, so now I can. 464 00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:30.400 Go back there. 465 00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:33.039 And really it's both things. You are more skillful and 466 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:35.279 you have the abilities, and now you go back to 467 00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:37.480 that place and you are the master now and you 468 00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:39.759 can dominate. And that's one of the great things about 469 00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:43.440 Metro Advanya is that curve of starting off in and 470 00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:46.119 just feeling like everything is so dangerous and then getting 471 00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:48.440 to a point where you can kill everything. The thing 472 00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:51.640 about Silk Song that makes it so good is it 473 00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:55.720 is very dangerous, and then then it's sense of atmosphere, 474 00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:59.160 its sense of place, is so extremely good. 475 00:21:59.599 --> 00:21:59.839 It is. 476 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:02.880 It's so awesome the audio design of like hearing people 477 00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:04.480 singing around you and like being like, oh, he's a 478 00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:07.640 room over I guess whatever. But even just like the 479 00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:10.359 clicking and clacking of the cogs and stuff and the 480 00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:12.680 clockwork stuff in that one place, playing with the music, 481 00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:14.839 and then as you like follow that path down a 482 00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:16.680 little bit further and you get into this other, even 483 00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:19.319 more dangerous area and you're like, oh, this is off 484 00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:20.759 the beaten path, and I'm just going to kind of 485 00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:22.920 keep pushing it here and see seeing how far I 486 00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:24.759 can go. There's probably gonna be some goodie at the end. 487 00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:27.359 And then you know, you get through there and by 488 00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:29.599 the time you're at the very base of this very 489 00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:31.559 dangerous place, you're like looking around be like, oh my god, 490 00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:35.000 I really should not be here. This is so intimidating, 491 00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:36.599 and yet I was able to do it, and I 492 00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:38.359 did it because I'm going to get something good here 493 00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:40.799 at the end, and it just feels so awesome. That 494 00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:42.839 loop is so cool. It's maybe the best it's ever 495 00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:45.400 been in one of these games in terms of really 496 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:49.000 figuring out that that going from feeling threatened being the 497 00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:50.319 thing that can threaten everything else. 498 00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:51.640 Silksong just nails that. 499 00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:53.759 Yeah, and in so much the discourse I know has 500 00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:55.799 been about the difficulty, and I think that's turned a 501 00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:57.839 lot of people off, and I understand that, Like I 502 00:22:57.839 --> 00:22:59.920 don't think every game should be like this, you know, 503 00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:02.119 where it's like, hey, listen, it's gonna be fucking hard. 504 00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:03.880 We're not gonna have a lot of options for like 505 00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:07.319 making it easier for yourself. But like it is brutal 506 00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:09.680 in a way that I think I'm weirdly nostalgic for. 507 00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:12.160 You know, it reminds me of like, you know, beating 508 00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:13.920 my head against like a Mega man boss over and 509 00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:15.920 over again and have to restart the level or whatever. 510 00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:18.720 Like I know this doesn't sound fun, but like not 511 00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:23.160 many games do with this unapologetically uh and it has. 512 00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:25.400 It gives you such high highs and low lows where 513 00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:27.000 it's like, oh, you lose a ton of rosaries, or 514 00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:30.000 you just did your thirtieth fucking loss on this boss 515 00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:31.319 fight and you need to go to bed, but you 516 00:23:31.319 --> 00:23:32.720 don't want to. You want to fuck beat this thing 517 00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:34.839 for good bet and then when you finally your I'm 518 00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:36.880 gonna try it one more time and you beat it, 519 00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:39.160 and that you know, just that animation and everything is 520 00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:41.680 so just like fuck.

It's like it's the whole thing 538 00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:25.000 the game. It's it's the game actually kind of straight 539 00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:27.240 up just kind of pointing at you, like, ha, you 540 00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:29.960 think you like how hard this game is, and I'm 541 00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:32.920 like I still do, actually, even though you're hurting me. 542 00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:35.559 It's maybe a problem. I should go talk to somebody. 543 00:24:35.880 --> 00:24:38.480 But yeah, that dude part took me hours. And when 544 00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:41.079 I got through it and finally saw that boss blow up, 545 00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:42.160 boy did I feel good. 546 00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:45.039 The run back stuff like, yeah, it's annoying, but like 547 00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:47.319 I do feel like most of them have at least 548 00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:49.599 like Okay, here's a quick way to just kind of 549 00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:51.880 like avoid this enemy and jump up this wall and 550 00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:53.480 get past this and like you know, it just kind 551 00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:56.119 of becomes like muscle memory at a certain point. So yeah, 552 00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:59.000 I don't know the runback stuff didn't bother me that much, 553 00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:00.960 I think, And also I think just going from like 554 00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:03.000 fast travel to fast travel stuff like that kind of 555 00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:05.279 annoyed me with the first one was they'd be so 556 00:25:05.559 --> 00:25:07.480 spread out and would take forever to get from one 557 00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:09.599 to the other. I do feel like with all the 558 00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:12.599 belwighs and stuff, this time, I think it's it's less 559 00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:13.119 of an issue. 560 00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:15.039 This time. It's pretty good. I mean, you know there's 561 00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:16.920 metro veins that don't have any of that. This game 562 00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:19.400 is so big that a course that needs to have 563 00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:21.279 a different amount. 564 00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:23.279 Of those, something like twice the size of Hollow Night 565 00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:24.640 one or something like that. 566 00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:27.319 This map. So yeah, All Night one was a huge game. 567 00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:31.359 This game's very smart about how it reveals that map, 568 00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:34.880 because Act one is a relatively straightforward progression of this 569 00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:37.640 zone into that zone, into that zone. Then Act two 570 00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:39.319 is where it really opens up. It kind of feels 571 00:25:39.319 --> 00:25:41.160 even more like Hall of Night one did, almost straight 572 00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:43.920 away from the beginning. But even what's fascinating is you 573 00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:46.000 go through act too, you think you found all the map, 574 00:25:46.079 --> 00:25:48.640 and still you find some breakup a wall, and here's 575 00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:51.920 just a whole another area, not just the room, a 576 00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:55.079 whole nother area. It's incredible how much big. 577 00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:55.960 Of its West games. 578 00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:58.200 I love those feelings when it's like you're far enough 579 00:25:58.200 --> 00:26:00.319 away from a bench and you've done enough touf, when 580 00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:02.680 you have enough rosaries where it's like you do break 581 00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:04.160 a wall or something and you kind of poke your 582 00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:05.359 head in there and being like, oh, maybe it'll just 583 00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:06.559 be like a thing on the floor, and then I 584 00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:09.200 leave and you see just like a huge like chamber 585 00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:12.240 and it's like, oh, man, I don't know how this 586 00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:14.920 should I come back to this later, And then sometimes 587 00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:17.599 I don't and I end up regretting it, and it's like, hey, 588 00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:20.359 I like that the game punishes me sometimes, like for 589 00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:21.119 being an asshole. 590 00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:22.839 Like I can play this game like a real asshole, 591 00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:25.359 just running and gunning and being like I am going 592 00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:26.799 to get to the place I want to go so 593 00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:29.759 fast and then boo, I run right into a spinning 594 00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:31.720 fan or something or some. 595 00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:33.960 Spikes, and so I'm such a jackass. 596 00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:36.759 But you know, I going back to the difficulty a 597 00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:39.319 little bit, like for the bosses, at least, they are 598 00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:42.839 very much just like Mike Tyson punch Out bosses, and uh, 599 00:26:43.480 --> 00:26:45.640 you know, I think that for the most part, the 600 00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:49.720 majority of them are the simpler Mike Tyson punch out bosses, 601 00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:52.720 where it's like, once, once you learn the patterns, it 602 00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:55.000 is so clear what you should be doing that you're 603 00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:56.799 gonna be fine. It's just a matter of learning the 604 00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:59.160 patterns later on. Now I'm getting the ones where it's like, 605 00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:01.720 maybe a little bit more frequently, it's about knowing the 606 00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:02.960 patterns and execution. 607 00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:04.240 Yeah, there's this. 608 00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:08.799 This fucker in this tiny this tiny hallway, this thin hallway, 609 00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:10.680 and he's one of the big flying guys that shoots 610 00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:12.279 the drills. 611 00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:17.799 And it was that that was fun. 612 00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:22.240 Yeah, the green acid stuff, like those flyers like spit 613 00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:22.920 the acid like that. 614 00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:26.440 There's there's a lot of flying enemies in the game. 615 00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:29.359 I think that's another point. Now, that's why I think 616 00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:32.119 you should be spart with what tool you have, right, 617 00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:36.319 And I'm always basically use that sort of arcing harpoon 618 00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:39.559 the entire game. I have another tool that adds poisoned 619 00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:41.720 damage to it, so it just does more damage. It's 620 00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:43.240 just kind of I'm like, okay, this is good because 621 00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:44.720 it kind of goes up a bit. So it's good 622 00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:46.720 for hitting flying enemies and pierces, so it can hit 623 00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:47.640 multiple enemies. 624 00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:49.559 I don't know if I have that one, Mike, what like, Yeah, 625 00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:50.440 where'd you get this tool? 626 00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:54.000 It's a great question.

You can't use any of the 703 00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:20.279 fast travel if you get hint or you run into 704 00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:22.839 a wall, or you fall too far with that like 705 00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:25.519 double jumping or doing something to save yourself at the end, 706 00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:28.640 it takes off the timer and uh boy, the one 707 00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:30.759 you need to do for this kind of important quest, 708 00:31:31.640 --> 00:31:34.680 it's a very long route doing. 709 00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:36.559 Did you clear out the Did you clear it though? 710 00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:38.559 Did you go? Okay? I can kind of clear out 711 00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:40.480 most of the major enemies along the way and that 712 00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:41.119 helps out. 713 00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:43.839 But you bet there are a few that put out 714 00:31:43.839 --> 00:31:45.599 of the ground, and there are few like yeah, so 715 00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:47.839 if you sit on bench, they responds everything for the 716 00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:53.279 most part. But I walked the entire path first, kill everything, 717 00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:55.519 and outside of like some of those flies in the water, 718 00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:57.640 some of the things that burst out from the ground, 719 00:31:58.240 --> 00:31:59.920 you can pretty much just clear that whole path. As 720 00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:00.960 long as you don't sit to the bench. 721 00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:03.599 I was using some of those enemies though, to like 722 00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:06.119 jump and get shit higher more quickly, so I didn't. 723 00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:06.920 I didn't clear them out. 724 00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:08.680 It just scared me so much. There's one point where 725 00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:10.920 I'm sprinting, like I went into an elevator and it 726 00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:11.839 closed the door and brought me. 727 00:32:11.880 --> 00:32:13.400 I was like, no, God, damn it. 728 00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:15.640 The Caurier thing was the thing like that was like 729 00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:18.359 four tries it was, it is like five minutes. I 730 00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:21.720 did die on the third try, right before the end, 731 00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:24.640 like right there, I like, I think I ran maybe 732 00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:26.640 I ran through that door that There's one time I 733 00:32:26.680 --> 00:32:27.160 guess you can. 734 00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:29.440 Go multiple ways. Did you go to the right or 735 00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:32.680 till I left left? I went left right, and I like. 736 00:32:33.440 --> 00:32:35.240 Twice this thing got me and it didn't kill me 737 00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:37.039 both times. But one time it did kill me. I 738 00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:40.359 ran through a door and right there is a spinning 739 00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:42.079 one of those spinning fans, and I was just I 740 00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:44.680 was sprinting. Yeah, but these those courier quests are good 741 00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:45.960 for someone like because this is how I'm playing the 742 00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:48.200 game all the time. It's just blistering my way through 743 00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:50.119 everything like a complete asshole, And this. 744 00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:51.599 Is like you have to play the game that way. 745 00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:53.400 So it worked out well for me when I finally 746 00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:56.720 got that one done, like I had an immaculate run 747 00:32:56.920 --> 00:32:59.559 was a touch then like the long hallway before the end, 748 00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:02.839 suddenly I got hit twice and I'm like, oh my god, 749 00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:04.240 I don't think I'm gonna make it. I don't think 750 00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:06.039 I'm gonna make it. I'm running down the hall with 751 00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:09.000 this dining hall where he is. I got like nothing, 752 00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:11.119 I have like six so I'm like, for the love 753 00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:13.000 of God, for the love of God, I. 754 00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:16.720 Barely video of mine. I'll share mine because mine was 755 00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:19.319 the same way. It's like barely like maybe a pixel. 756 00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:21.279 So did you finish that whole like five part quest 757 00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:24.160 the Taste of bar looom thingie. I just did that, Yeah, 758 00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:28.720 for the pale oil and yeah yeah that helps a lot. Yeah, yeah, good. 759 00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:32.200 But it's incredible, Just like there are some upgrades that 760 00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:35.160 you would expect and are important upgrades, and just getting 761 00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:37.400 to them is a lot. Like the first time I 762 00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:40.759 beat the game, I didn't have one of them where 763 00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:42.200 I was like, oh my gosh, I can't believe I 764 00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:44.880 could quote unquote beat the game without this. It's a 765 00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:48.000 whole area you have to do, and once you get that, 766 00:33:48.119 --> 00:33:52.000 it's such a relief. It's an emotional experience just unlocking it. 767 00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:53.759 They know what they're doing. It's neat. 768 00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:56.240 I like the amount of like mystery stuff where it's like, 769 00:33:56.279 --> 00:33:58.519 you know, obviously a billion people are playing this and 770 00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:00.480 writing guides and stuff like that, but there's still, like 771 00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:04.119 to today, there are still people being like, okay, so 772 00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:08.079 I think this is how you get you know, whatever 773 00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:10.280 this character is to join you in the forum fight 774 00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:12.280 or like, okay, so at three it turns out you 775 00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:14.480 don't need to get every flee you actually think. It 776 00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:16.559 triggered for me after I did this and this, but 777 00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:18.480 like and so people are still trying to figure out 778 00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:20.760 exactly what you need to do for certain things. 779 00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:23.239 There was one of those where, God, this is a 780 00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:25.440 question forever ago. So I won't I won't be spoiling 781 00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:27.840 any details because I can't remember any any of the details. 782 00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:30.159 But I was talking to someone else about it, and 783 00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:31.960 they're like, what are you talking about? I picked that 784 00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:33.280 thing up. It was right, it was just laying on 785 00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:35.559 the ground right there. I'm like, what are you talking about? 786 00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:37.960 I'm looking here. I've done everything you said you did 787 00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:40.760 it's not here, and I'm like, all right, whatever, I 788 00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:43.559 must just not have things set up right, And apparently 789 00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:47.039 I had done. I changed the world so that that 790 00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:49.880 thing wasn't there anymore, and now was at a shop, 791 00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:52.880 and apparently the shopkeeper was just like he picked it up, 792 00:34:53.159 --> 00:34:54.920 and now he's selling it to me, And so I 793 00:34:54.960 --> 00:34:56.840 had to spend money on it instead, And I was like, 794 00:34:56.840 --> 00:34:59.000 I could have got it for free, but because I didn't, 795 00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:00.639 I had to like do this whole whole other thing. 796 00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:02.280 And to get that, i'd like unlock. 797 00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:03.639 A quest or whatever, do a whole other quest. 798 00:35:03.719 --> 00:35:07.159 So there's a lot of like interlocking, interchangeable ways these 799 00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:09.679 things can work, and that is fascinating me as well. 800 00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:11.719 I think I saw the opposite of that, because like 801 00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:15.199 there's a merchant. Apparently if you go to them early on, 802 00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:17.079 I think it's the cracked mask or whatever, which is 803 00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:19.280 a really helpful tool. But if you go to the 804 00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:22.039 merchant in the first like half of the game, you 805 00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:23.920 can buy it for like a bunch of rosaries or whatever. 806 00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:26.039 But when I got there, apparently I was far enough 807 00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:28.320 in where like the merchant was dead and the mask 808 00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:29.559 was just laying on the floor, so I got it 809 00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:30.360 for full Wow. 810 00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:33.840 Yeah, yeah, it's really new. How the world does evolve 811 00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:36.280 like that in some of them, mostly evolving the NPC's 812 00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:38.480 and that's another kind of very dark soul zy thing, 813 00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:41.800 almost kind of done better here, dark souls. Those games 814 00:35:41.800 --> 00:35:44.400 can drive me crazy sometimes with the whole like do this, 815 00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:46.239 then this NPC goes there, and then you can do 816 00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:49.519 this quest and you just never know any of that 817 00:35:49.679 --> 00:35:52.119 unless you follow a guide something. Maybe it's just because 818 00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:54.280 of the two D nature and some of the more 819 00:35:54.639 --> 00:35:57.480 linear backtracking or the you know, everyone's following the same 820 00:35:57.480 --> 00:36:00.239 path to back you just come across these people in 821 00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:02.920 these places so much more often, so you can't see 822 00:36:03.159 --> 00:36:05.280 these subtle changes. I mean, there's that first town you go, 823 00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:08.239 do there's an amazing moment where you know, something very 824 00:36:08.239 --> 00:36:11.239 interesting happens there, like, oh, this is happening right now? Okay, 825 00:36:11.719 --> 00:36:15.079 just all sorts of fun surprises like that. These are 826 00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:18.000 is like my favorite kind of game. I love metro Venas, 827 00:36:18.039 --> 00:36:19.360 I just absolutely do. If you ask me what my 828 00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:22.239 favorite genre is, I'm probably going to say this. So 829 00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:26.199 just having a giant one of these right now live 830 00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:28.840 up to the insane amount of hype that it got 831 00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:31.840 almost an unfair amount of hype and still be able 832 00:36:32.199 --> 00:36:35.559 to deliver. I think it's incredibly impressive, to a. 833 00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:37.760 Scale that we haven't really seen before. I mean, you know, 834 00:36:38.039 --> 00:36:39.639 the thing they has done it was Hollow Night one, 835 00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:41.800 and now this is even bigger. And the fact that 836 00:36:41.800 --> 00:36:45.800 they can maintain this level of that compelling nature of 837 00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:47.840 wanting you to get to go to the next thing 838 00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:50.280 despite it being like, man, I've done so much, I 839 00:36:50.280 --> 00:36:51.480 can't do I just want the game to be over. 840 00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:53.440 It's like, no, is there more to do? I'm ready 841 00:36:53.480 --> 00:36:55.559 to go. That's a hard thing to pull off, and 842 00:36:55.599 --> 00:36:56.679 they really really do here. 843 00:36:56.960 --> 00:36:59.119 I think, gun to my head right now. If you 844 00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:01.519 ask me to do a mounta row more of Metroid 845 00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:04.599 vanias non Binding, I think I'd say Symphony that I 846 00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:08.000 super Metroid Silk Song, and then probably either Prince of 847 00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:11.519 Persia or Bloodstained, I think. But I really do think 848 00:37:11.719 --> 00:37:14.960 this is like one of the best ever. And like, honestly, 849 00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:17.360 if you're removing nostalls, I'm not gonna say anything until 850 00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:19.360 some time, you know, recency bias and all that, but like, 851 00:37:20.199 --> 00:37:23.960 I don't know, it's it's up there, if not surpassing. 852 00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:26.360 I think that everything in this genre, you know. 853 00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:29.199 Yeah, they are like small tidbits that like I have 854 00:37:29.320 --> 00:37:32.000 where I prefer the way some other games work. Like 855 00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:34.519 I definitely am like at this point when I'm playing 856 00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:36.159 one of these games that has a lot of focus 857 00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:38.920 on combat, I like it when and this is like 858 00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:40.920 not a criticism of the game, because this is the 859 00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:42.320 game's not trying to be this, but this is just 860 00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:45.800 a personal preference. When the enemies can hurt you by 861 00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:47.519 touching their body, I want them to hurt you when 862 00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:50.280 they do a tax. That's like something that's happened. I 863 00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:52.039 think that's Prince of Persia. It's a handful like Dead 864 00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:54.199 Cells is like that if they do a tax, and 865 00:37:54.239 --> 00:37:56.760 I'm like, that just feels like a combat is like 866 00:37:56.840 --> 00:37:58.719 more visceral, more real to me when it's like that 867 00:37:59.039 --> 00:38:00.920 here as opposed to this kind of feeling a little 868 00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:02.440 bit like yeah, yeah, if you touch them, they're gonna 869 00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:05.760 hurt you. But that doesn't mean like they haven't like 870 00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:08.639 done the best version of this kind of combat. They 871 00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:11.360 have this it's such a fun game to actually use 872 00:38:11.360 --> 00:38:14.199 the systems to attack enemies and figure out your tools 873 00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:14.840 and which ones you. 874 00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:17.320 Like and upgrade that stuff. It's all really well done. 875 00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:19.320 That would typically get me when it's like a boss 876 00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:21.519 fight and you get that stagger and they're kind of 877 00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:23.199 like down on the ground and you run up and you're. 878 00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:23.800 Like, oh, I got them. 879 00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:25.360 You know I'm safe, and it's like, oh wait, I 880 00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:27.079 still got to make sure I'm not too close to them, 881 00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:29.960 you know, run right into them. Get those moments though, 882 00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:31.679 when you're able to just get a bunch of hits in, 883 00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:33.880 when it's like you've done a boss fight enough times, 884 00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:36.079 or it's just like you know every attack and then 885 00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:37.639 you know when they go to phase two, phase three 886 00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:39.679 what those attacks are, and you just go in there 887 00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:42.360 and sometimes you'll be overconfident and fuck up immediately. But 888 00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:44.159 then you'll have those times where it's like a boss 889 00:38:44.239 --> 00:38:46.360 that you've died twenty times on and like you don't 890 00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:48.400 get hit once, and it's like, right, oh my god. 891 00:38:48.840 --> 00:38:51.639 Sometimes you squeeze it out, but sometimes you downloaded the 892 00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:55.360 boss so much that is just flawless run and you 893 00:38:55.480 --> 00:38:57.360 just know exactly what your windows are. You know you 894 00:38:57.360 --> 00:38:59.119 can get one hit in, two hit in. You know, 895 00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:01.400 when you could Pug off the enemy. God, I love 896 00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:04.440 Poe going off of enemies. Anything that's like ductails. That 897 00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:06.000 feels so freaking well good. 898 00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:07.559 You're one of the freaks that does the old one. 899 00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:11.480 You me and grab a part of the New School life. 900 00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:14.599 Boom boom boom, back and forth and said back and forth. 901 00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:17.400 When I'm in a position, I love that.

That's why I have not. 904 00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:24.400 I have not done the original pogo once in this game. 905 00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:26.920 I got the crest, I have not even equipped it. 906 00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:29.599 No, I love the pogging. It's incredible how good the 907 00:39:29.639 --> 00:39:31.760 horizontal movement can feel when you once you get the 908 00:39:31.800 --> 00:39:33.880 kind of grapple thing and you can grapple and dash 909 00:39:33.920 --> 00:39:37.800 and you realize that's basically two dashes. Oh my god. Yeah. 910 00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:39.960 By the end, like I won't say every single ability, 911 00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:42.199 but like every jump you do, it feels like there's 912 00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:46.199 like three plus things you can do to extend it vertically, horizontally, 913 00:39:46.679 --> 00:39:47.559 you know, slower. 914 00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:48.719 It's it's great to like. 915 00:39:48.679 --> 00:39:49.920 Go in a room where it's like, oh yeah, I 916 00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:51.840 remember these things I was supposed to use for platforming 917 00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:54.920 before and just jumping past the entire room. 918 00:39:54.719 --> 00:39:56.719 And it's the rules that you died a million times 919 00:39:56.719 --> 00:39:58.440 on it's like boom boom, boom boom, and you're bouncing 920 00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:01.360 off stuff and there's those rooms with with the gears 921 00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:03.159 to go around and you got to like, you know, 922 00:40:03.320 --> 00:40:05.280 hit him at different points and then catch up to 923 00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:05.960 the gear later. 924 00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:09.199 And oh yeah, there's not in that. 925 00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:12.039 In that the cog place, the clockwork place, there's a 926 00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:14.320 room over to the right where it's like there are 927 00:40:14.320 --> 00:40:17.960 some those spinning spikes that you can you're supposed to 928 00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:19.880 bounce off. And it's like, oh, clearly I was supposed 929 00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:22.039 to do this later when I at least had like 930 00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:24.719 one more movement ability, Like if you have the grapple 931 00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:26.960 hook there, you can it makes a lot easier. 932 00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:29.039 Yeah, I raw dog. 933 00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:30.159 That it was you did. 934 00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:32.159 So I'm like, I can. 935 00:40:32.800 --> 00:40:34.679 I did it with all my mobility stuff, and I 936 00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:37.880 still it was difficult. Like holy shit, it. 937 00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:41.039 Was a fun thing to do though. It's did a 938 00:40:41.039 --> 00:40:44.079 great job. You take your job. I I'm excited to 939 00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:48.159 see it through to its very end. I love games 940 00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:53.440 all about little guys, little little creatures. You know who 941 00:40:53.480 --> 00:41:01.159 else is a little guy rowbo on You've been playing 942 00:41:01.480 --> 00:41:04.639 gb Robe, I know Dan check that out a bit ago. 943 00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:09.079 This is on the GameCube. Nso app on Nintendo Switch 944 00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:11.320 to now, how are you finding GiB Robo? 945 00:41:11.599 --> 00:41:15.079 I'm finding Chibi Robo not on the Nintendo Switch too. 946 00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:15.719 I'm playing that. 947 00:41:16.199 --> 00:41:18.400 I'm not a big old right there the CRT and 948 00:41:18.519 --> 00:41:23.639 my sofa in real hardware. This game I have some 949 00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:27.480 fond memories of because it was sort of the one 950 00:41:27.519 --> 00:41:29.880 of the perennial demo disc games from when I was 951 00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:32.719 a kid, you know, like Kmart or whoever had then 952 00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:35.360 the machine forever and wherever we would go to a store, 953 00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:37.199 I would see like, you know, how quickly can I 954 00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:39.159 beat the demo? How far can you get the demo? 955 00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:41.719 Whatever it may be. This is the first time I've 956 00:41:41.719 --> 00:41:43.840 really just sat down with the game and tried to 957 00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:48.440 just play it through. I do think that expectations are 958 00:41:48.760 --> 00:41:51.920 definitely allowing me to enjoy it more than Dan did 959 00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:54.960 when he was trying it out, because for me, I 960 00:41:55.079 --> 00:41:57.039 knew that this game is, like you know, very much 961 00:41:57.079 --> 00:42:00.320 a time management game. It's an adventure game more than 962 00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:02.480 it is a platform or, which is something that I'm 963 00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:06.440 also familiar with playing games like say Persona and RPG's 964 00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:08.840 visual novels that kind of thing. A lot of text, 965 00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:11.320 a lot of like trying to figure out, Okay, what 966 00:42:11.360 --> 00:42:13.039 do I need to do, what's the next puzzle piece 967 00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:16.519 to get this person's storyline to continue forward? And so 968 00:42:16.679 --> 00:42:21.039 going into expecting that, I've been really enjoying it, especially 969 00:42:21.079 --> 00:42:24.639 because I play it in bite sized bursts, like it's 970 00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:28.159 it's my morning coffee game, where I'll make a cup, 971 00:42:28.320 --> 00:42:30.239 I'll sit stay on my little footstool back there in 972 00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:32.039 front of the CRT and just play, you know, a 973 00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:34.440 loompsip on my coffee for like fifteen twenty minutes at 974 00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:36.760 a time. That's it. That's it for the day. I 975 00:42:36.880 --> 00:42:38.800 just go do whatever else, and then the next day 976 00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:41.000 I come back, you know, our fifteen twenty minutes at 977 00:42:41.000 --> 00:42:43.559 a time. And so I've been playing for a few 978 00:42:43.599 --> 00:42:46.159 weeks now, I'm only like, what's six hours in? I 979 00:42:46.159 --> 00:42:48.519 think it's what maybe like an eight to ten hour 980 00:42:48.639 --> 00:42:51.440 game total if you want to do everything. And so 981 00:42:51.559 --> 00:42:53.880 I think doing it in that way has been a 982 00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:56.159 lot of fun to just go around the house, do 983 00:42:56.159 --> 00:42:58.760 do the little chores, you know, like clean this thing up, 984 00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:02.079 talk to this person gary Ward, advance the story, maybe 985 00:43:02.119 --> 00:43:05.119 fight enemies which you get later on, and especially once 986 00:43:05.119 --> 00:43:07.440 you start getting things like the ladder that allows you 987 00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:09.679 to reach the high places. The game really opens up 988 00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:12.320 and you can find more activities to do. But it's 989 00:43:12.320 --> 00:43:14.920 a cute, little cozy game that I've been really enjoying 990 00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:16.760 playing in that way. 991 00:43:17.039 --> 00:43:19.320 And I'm gonna be clear that, like I did enjoy 992 00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:22.079 that game, and it wasn't really the more adventure game. 993 00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:23.599 Like the thing that kind of turned me off a 994 00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:25.239 little bit wasn't so much that like, oh, I thought 995 00:43:25.239 --> 00:43:26.800 it was a platform and it's more of an adventure 996 00:43:26.800 --> 00:43:30.079 game like those elements. Once I understood that that's the 997 00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:32.159 type of game it was, didn't bother me that much. 998 00:43:32.480 --> 00:43:34.559 It is honestly just that tech speed stuff. And every 999 00:43:34.559 --> 00:43:37.079 time like a cutscene starts and like ah, like just 1000 00:43:37.159 --> 00:43:38.000 drove me insane. 1001 00:43:38.119 --> 00:43:41.119 It is very much a you thing the way you're 1002 00:43:41.119 --> 00:43:44.039 reacting to it, I think though, because it's not all text, 1003 00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:46.079 to be clear, like I think maybe that's how it 1004 00:43:46.119 --> 00:43:49.920 sounded to people who don't know last time it it. 1005 00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:52.400 It's one of those smaller Nintendo games from back then 1006 00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:54.480 where it doesn't have voice acting in the proper sense, 1007 00:43:54.519 --> 00:43:57.719 as like the animal crossing gibberish presimply because you know 1008 00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:00.519 it's cheaper do that cheaper, localize and every like that. 1009 00:44:00.960 --> 00:44:03.840 So they do have a more classic adventure game thing 1010 00:44:03.880 --> 00:44:06.760 of the text moves across the screen at the speed 1011 00:44:06.760 --> 00:44:09.119 that the character like is talking or you know, quote 1012 00:44:09.159 --> 00:44:12.440 unquote talking, and you can't skip it, which I agree 1013 00:44:12.480 --> 00:44:15.519 with you in not being skippable is the problem because like, 1014 00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:17.559 especially if you like talk to someone and you just 1015 00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:20.239 accidentally press A and it starts like a long chance text, 1016 00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:22.320 I'm like, yeah, all right, that is annoying. I'm like, 1017 00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:23.880 I'll give you that for sure, but. 1018 00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:26.079 It's it's the longer ones. It's like it was just 1019 00:44:26.119 --> 00:44:28.239 like oh, every time I saved or whatever, you know, 1020 00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:30.519 like that's that's fine, or just a few lines of dialogue. 1021 00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:32.039 It was the thing that broke me was that like 1022 00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:34.559 fortune teller thing in the basement where it's like I 1023 00:44:34.599 --> 00:44:37.559 accidentally did it the game and I'm like, ah, how 1024 00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:40.960 is it feels like it's ten minutes of explaining pick 1025 00:44:41.000 --> 00:44:42.559 A or B and you got a fifty percent chance 1026 00:44:42.679 --> 00:44:43.039 that's it? 1027 00:44:43.519 --> 00:44:45.000 Yeah, oh my gosh. 1028 00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:47.360 Genuinely yeah, like a solid like minute and a half 1029 00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:49.599 segment they said up there the accidentally do it again, 1030 00:44:49.679 --> 00:44:51.119 So yeah, I give you so much. 1031 00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:53.320 I will go like it's you know, obviously right now, 1032 00:44:53.320 --> 00:44:55.679 there's so many other things game wise to play, but 1033 00:44:55.760 --> 00:44:57.239 like it's gonna be on my switch. I'm gonna be 1034 00:44:57.280 --> 00:44:58.639 on a plane at some point, I'm gonna look at 1035 00:44:58.639 --> 00:45:00.920 an so yeah, what do I want? Pull up? And 1036 00:45:01.239 --> 00:45:04.199 I'll keep going with that. But it's if you're in 1037 00:45:04.199 --> 00:45:04.559 the mood. 1038 00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:07.119 Yeah, if you're in the move for song smaller and 1039 00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:09.719 slower than I think you're the right headspace to appreciate 1040 00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:13.079 what's doing. But it's definitely yeah, the text is something 1041 00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:15.400 that I know even people have fixed in like fan 1042 00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:17.559 patches and stuff, So like, I get it that would 1043 00:45:17.559 --> 00:45:19.400 be a nice thing to apply if you're playing in 1044 00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:22.280 Dolphin or whatever you might be doing. But I also 1045 00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:24.440 think that if you approach it as yeah, it's a 1046 00:45:24.519 --> 00:45:27.239 slow game in general, then I think it's a fun time. 1047 00:45:27.920 --> 00:45:32.119 Yeah, speaking of things that are smaller, Sean, you've also 1048 00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:35.159 been missing around with the Retroid Pocket Classic. 1049 00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:37.760 Oh I sure have, Mikey.

You can do all the way 1082 00:47:05.079 --> 00:47:07.599 up to PS two in game Cube on this load. 1083 00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:08.599 Really not that you. 1084 00:47:08.559 --> 00:47:10.079 Necessarily want it because you know it doesn't have an 1085 00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:12.360 analog stick, but like I was trying to Final Fantasy 1086 00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:14.960 ten on PS two last night, I was running fine, 1087 00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:18.239 So like, wow, yeah, if you want to play like 1088 00:47:18.599 --> 00:47:22.360 old school game Boy, game Boy Color Advance, like any s, 1089 00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:24.599 Super Nys, that kind of stuff, it's great for that. 1090 00:47:24.719 --> 00:47:27.519 And then also like the RPGs and stuff on the 1091 00:47:27.719 --> 00:47:31.039 more advanced consoles like PS one two, you can do it. 1092 00:47:31.039 --> 00:47:34.920 It's awesome. And uh, the screen is what really really 1093 00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:35.599 sold it for me. 1094 00:47:35.719 --> 00:47:39.119 Yes, that's huge because like, yeah, I've got the ones 1095 00:47:39.159 --> 00:47:41.400 like you know at first form factor. You know, the 1096 00:47:41.440 --> 00:47:43.840 analog is great, but also for a cheaper, smaller one 1097 00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:46.159 with the trim Ui brick, I like a lot, but 1098 00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:50.079 that screen looks fantastic to do same thing to alter 1099 00:47:50.239 --> 00:47:54.760 the os like Menui and Moo, all these different ones 1100 00:47:54.800 --> 00:47:55.119 I've done. 1101 00:47:55.280 --> 00:47:57.960 So this runs android, which is great because then it's 1102 00:47:58.239 --> 00:48:01.199 very easy to tweak. And I'm also very familiar with Androids, 1103 00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:02.679 so I knew how I changed some things. Like you know, 1104 00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:04.920 it has a lock screen by default, kind of like 1105 00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:06.960 the switch, I guess, but it's like the Android block screen. 1106 00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:08.719 You can't just press AID to dismiss it. But I 1107 00:48:08.760 --> 00:48:10.320 just turned the lock screen off because I feel like 1108 00:48:10.320 --> 00:48:12.400 that just you know, makes more sense for a handheld. 1109 00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:15.280 And yeah, if you if you check out retro gamecre 1110 00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:18.599 on YouTube, russ has great videos for setting up Android 1111 00:48:18.599 --> 00:48:19.800 handhelds and for something else. 1112 00:48:20.960 --> 00:48:21.159 Yeah. 1113 00:48:21.199 --> 00:48:23.480 Yeah, well, what what I have is this is emulation 1114 00:48:23.599 --> 00:48:29.079 station with the art book of theme on it and deck. 1115 00:48:29.159 --> 00:48:31.000 Yeah. 1116 00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:32.840 If I go into like a game Boy Advance game 1117 00:48:32.880 --> 00:48:35.639 as like uh the cover arts and then it starts 1118 00:48:35.639 --> 00:48:38.320 playing a little video uh with gameplay. 1119 00:48:39.400 --> 00:48:42.039 Yeah yeah, yeah, I really I really enjoy all the 1120 00:48:42.199 --> 00:48:45.480 all the fans sort of skins on top of the 1121 00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:46.519 os is for these things. 1122 00:48:46.719 --> 00:48:48.639 I think that's cool and I love that. 1123 00:48:48.880 --> 00:48:51.960 I I don't think it works offline, but at least 1124 00:48:51.960 --> 00:48:55.400 while I'm connected to Wi Fi, I basically is retroarc 1125 00:48:55.480 --> 00:48:57.960 for almost everything in here. Any in the uh why 1126 00:48:58.000 --> 00:48:59.639 I'm not using retro arc when I'm using like some 1127 00:48:59.800 --> 00:49:02.760 state and alone, it still supports it retro achievements. This 1128 00:49:02.920 --> 00:49:05.960 is a cool way to get retro achievements in games 1129 00:49:05.960 --> 00:49:08.239 that I've played a million times. Like my go to 1130 00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:11.079 wind down at the end of the night game is Pokemon, Pinball, 1131 00:49:11.159 --> 00:49:13.880 Ruby and Sapphire, And just having something new to do 1132 00:49:14.039 --> 00:49:16.199 in games like that that I played a million times 1133 00:49:16.559 --> 00:49:19.159 is really cool. Just I log into my retro achievements account, 1134 00:49:19.199 --> 00:49:21.239 I turn on a hardcore mode, just get like, you know, 1135 00:49:21.320 --> 00:49:23.639 the Star or whatever the hell you I haven't checked yet. 1136 00:49:23.760 --> 00:49:26.079 A littles on extra for nagis in safe states and everything, 1137 00:49:26.400 --> 00:49:30.079 and that's a cool way to just re experience these 1138 00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:32.519 retro games. So yeah, I think for most people, this 1139 00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:36.079 handheldy is like the sweet spot for anything bigger in this, 1140 00:49:36.199 --> 00:49:39.920 you know, like playing through a full GameCube game or 1141 00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:42.920 anything newer than that. I have a Steam deck for 1142 00:49:42.960 --> 00:49:44.000 that and that works. 1143 00:49:44.039 --> 00:49:44.280 Well. 1144 00:49:44.440 --> 00:49:47.679 We're laying in bed for having something that is perfect 1145 00:49:47.679 --> 00:49:50.119 for on the go. I'm really really digging this. And 1146 00:49:50.119 --> 00:49:52.719 they also have some cool other options. Comes in most 1147 00:49:52.719 --> 00:49:55.679 of the game Boy color colors. There's also Atomic Purple. 1148 00:49:55.960 --> 00:49:59.000 There's also a six bun version that's like styled after 1149 00:49:59.079 --> 00:50:01.519 the Sega Saturn can troller, So if you really want 1150 00:50:01.519 --> 00:50:04.199 to play like Sega games and arcade games and stuff, 1151 00:50:04.280 --> 00:50:07.440 it's great for that. On top of paying a look 1152 00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:12.920 fighting game fanatic dpad that I just love. I'm very 1153 00:50:12.920 --> 00:50:15.159 particular about that stuff because I play pad and fighting 1154 00:50:15.199 --> 00:50:18.679 games and this is maybe the single best dpad I've 1155 00:50:18.679 --> 00:50:19.239 ever used. 1156 00:50:19.320 --> 00:50:20.440 So okay, good. 1157 00:50:20.480 --> 00:50:23.119 Yeah, it's like the Vita, but it's matt so your 1158 00:50:23.159 --> 00:50:25.960 finger slides across it really easily. Just a great handle. 1159 00:50:26.199 --> 00:50:28.199 I've been having a blast playing that for the most 1160 00:50:28.199 --> 00:50:28.880 part all week. 1161 00:50:29.440 --> 00:50:31.400 Yeah, And I like something like in terms of form 1162 00:50:31.440 --> 00:50:33.480 factor and price and everything that's like that because it's 1163 00:50:33.519 --> 00:50:35.360 like obviously, you know, steam Deck's great and stuff. For 1164 00:50:35.440 --> 00:50:37.760 like a long flight or something. Analog Pocket is a 1165 00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:39.679 really kind of higher end thing that's really great. But 1166 00:50:39.719 --> 00:50:42.239 like sometimes it's just like, oh, I've got a you know, 1167 00:50:42.360 --> 00:50:44.840 forty five minute taxi ride or something, I'm not going 1168 00:50:44.920 --> 00:50:46.880 to bring my steam Deck or something. But it's like 1169 00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:49.199 I'll put a little like Trimui brick in my podcast. 1170 00:50:49.519 --> 00:50:50.920 It's like, oh, I'm just gonna mess frund with Warrior 1171 00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:53.920 Wa or whatever. It's not expensive. If you know you 1172 00:50:53.920 --> 00:50:55.199 can throw it in a bag and not have to 1173 00:50:55.239 --> 00:50:57.440 have a case or anything. It's just like, yeah, it 1174 00:50:57.519 --> 00:50:59.599 just seems lower stakes, but still you know, gives you 1175 00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:00.360 what you want from that. 1176 00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:02.320 Right in the form factor too, if you're playing, especially 1177 00:51:02.320 --> 00:51:04.159 if you're playing Game Boy or game Boy Color, it's 1178 00:51:04.199 --> 00:51:07.119 like perfect for that has designed for that. But also 1179 00:51:07.800 --> 00:51:09.760 like the big thing for me with the OLED screen 1180 00:51:09.880 --> 00:51:12.920 is that, especially when you're playing at night, that means 1181 00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:15.719 that any bezels, any black bars around the game, like 1182 00:51:15.719 --> 00:51:18.360 if you're playing Game Boy Advance just disappear. You like 1183 00:51:18.400 --> 00:51:20.440 don't even know seid they're there, because you know the 1184 00:51:20.480 --> 00:51:22.679 screen is off in those sections. So it's great for 1185 00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:26.760 playing at any really of those old form factors that 1186 00:51:26.840 --> 00:51:29.199 even if they're not quite fitting into the square aspect 1187 00:51:29.320 --> 00:51:31.559 ratio or something like the TRIMII brick you know, is 1188 00:51:31.639 --> 00:51:33.719 much cheaper. You can get that for like fifty bucks 1189 00:51:33.800 --> 00:51:36.559 or something nowadays, especially if you get on Ali Express. 1190 00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:39.400 But that also you know, the screen is worse, like 1191 00:51:39.440 --> 00:51:41.880 the ergonomics are maybe a little bit worse a speak 1192 00:51:41.880 --> 00:51:44.000 of ergonoxide. It's on at sea, Like you can get 1193 00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:48.119 a nice grip, like like a controller grip for this thing. 1194 00:51:48.239 --> 00:51:51.199 So that's merely criticism is a little hard to get 1195 00:51:51.239 --> 00:51:54.679 the triggers that you're playing Metroid or something. But I'm 1196 00:51:54.679 --> 00:51:57.639 just gonna slap a like little red printed fifteen dollar 1197 00:51:57.679 --> 00:51:59.159 grip on there and then they'll be perfect for what 1198 00:51:59.199 --> 00:52:01.199 I want to play those games. 1199 00:52:01.400 --> 00:52:05.119 Sean, you uh, you're using this that uses Android? 1200 00:52:05.239 --> 00:52:05.360 Right? 1201 00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:08.880 Do you know if it has an accelerometer in it? 1202 00:52:08.920 --> 00:52:13.199 Because I played Twisted on my phone on the phone. Wow, 1203 00:52:13.239 --> 00:52:14.599 it does in there, and that's awesome. 1204 00:52:16.760 --> 00:52:21.280 You can you can use Twisted and uh, Kirby, I 1205 00:52:21.320 --> 00:52:21.679 don't do. 1206 00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:24.559 You're gonna start that in the garbage where. 1207 00:52:26.119 --> 00:52:28.480 I played Twisted and then I immediately tried Yoshi's topsy 1208 00:52:28.519 --> 00:52:29.440 Turvy on my phone. 1209 00:52:29.280 --> 00:52:32.559 Like this sucks twisted twisted off. 1210 00:52:32.880 --> 00:52:35.079 Yeah, A good point though with Android though, you know, 1211 00:52:35.079 --> 00:52:37.079 also just played Android games on here, so it's down 1212 00:52:37.119 --> 00:52:41.079 the Stardoo Valley and Blatro and stuff like modern Android ports. 1213 00:52:41.440 --> 00:52:45.079 You'll know that Prince of Persia, uh, like the Crown 1214 00:52:45.199 --> 00:52:49.199 throwne whatever which McCall it is on Androids Crown.

Yeah, I think Dead 1249 00:54:23.360 --> 00:54:24.800 Cells is okay. 1250 00:54:24.960 --> 00:54:28.880 That's not good enough, a lot better than okay, podcast things. 1251 00:54:28.960 --> 00:54:32.280 Dead Cells is okay, I think. 1252 00:54:32.840 --> 00:54:35.199 Look so yeah, so people who worked on like it 1253 00:54:35.320 --> 00:54:37.039 was not the main Dead Cells team with people. 1254 00:54:37.440 --> 00:54:40.440 Team that took took over support after the main doubt 1255 00:54:40.440 --> 00:54:44.119 sales team went on to do I can't remember now right, yeah, 1256 00:54:44.760 --> 00:54:45.320 like or something. 1257 00:54:46.639 --> 00:54:48.920 This game is it has some of that DNA for sure. 1258 00:54:48.920 --> 00:54:50.679 There's a lot to e act and stuff going on. 1259 00:54:50.960 --> 00:54:53.039 But the reason why I like it a lot more 1260 00:54:53.039 --> 00:54:55.840 than Dead Cells is that you also have platforming, which 1261 00:54:55.880 --> 00:54:59.239 is an important part of the Prince of Persia equation. 1262 00:54:59.480 --> 00:55:01.800 So you know, you doing air dashes, you're grabbing onto 1263 00:55:02.000 --> 00:55:04.719 you know, kind of the poles and swinging off of 1264 00:55:04.760 --> 00:55:07.079 them or grabbing them and going down. The really neat 1265 00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:10.199 thing is that anytime there's a background, theyre so like 1266 00:55:10.239 --> 00:55:11.800 a lot of times there will be a wall behind you, 1267 00:55:11.840 --> 00:55:14.079 so it's a crumbling wall, so it's not always behind you. 1268 00:55:14.159 --> 00:55:16.280 But if there is a wall behind you, then you 1269 00:55:16.400 --> 00:55:18.320 can do the wall run on it. You can do 1270 00:55:18.360 --> 00:55:21.800 that three sixty degrees of movement, so you can wall 1271 00:55:21.880 --> 00:55:23.519 run up and then you can jump at the end 1272 00:55:23.559 --> 00:55:24.880 of it, and then you can air dash to the 1273 00:55:24.920 --> 00:55:26.920 right and grab a pole and jump off of that 1274 00:55:27.119 --> 00:55:30.320 into another wall and do that. The movement can feel 1275 00:55:30.679 --> 00:55:32.880 so good and part of the z access. 1276 00:55:32.880 --> 00:55:34.400 When you say three hudred and sixty degrees, you're like, 1277 00:55:34.400 --> 00:55:36.599 you can like run in a circle on the wall. 1278 00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:40.320 You could move in any direction on that wall, not a. 1279 00:55:40.519 --> 00:55:45.400 Time, certain points, it's forever. 1280 00:55:45.480 --> 00:55:47.039 You get like a little burst. Right, you can run 1281 00:55:47.119 --> 00:55:48.559 up the wall for a little bit. So what I'm 1282 00:55:48.559 --> 00:55:50.599 saying is you can run up diagonally, you can run 1283 00:55:50.719 --> 00:55:51.960 up up, you can go through the right. It's not 1284 00:55:52.039 --> 00:55:56.719 just persia. Yeah, eight directions. Okay, gotcha, that's what. Well, 1285 00:55:57.119 --> 00:55:59.639 it's not just eight though, it is. The whole radio 1286 00:55:59.800 --> 00:56:04.159 thing is. So it's actually it is a you have 1287 00:56:04.239 --> 00:56:05.880 to play on an analog stick. It's kind of like 1288 00:56:07.880 --> 00:56:11.519 because yeah, they want you, yeah, using all of those movements. 1289 00:56:11.559 --> 00:56:14.599 But yeah, this is a roguelike, like the name suggests. 1290 00:56:14.639 --> 00:56:17.039 So you know you are kind of starting off with uh, 1291 00:56:17.159 --> 00:56:19.280 you know, you're picking between a couple of weapons again, 1292 00:56:19.440 --> 00:56:22.199 like dead cells, and there's things like daggers, or you 1293 00:56:22.199 --> 00:56:25.119 can have a giant axe and it's slower obviously, but 1294 00:56:25.480 --> 00:56:27.920 going to be more powerful. And there's like you know, 1295 00:56:28.440 --> 00:56:30.840 the resource you get goal just for that run, and 1296 00:56:30.880 --> 00:56:32.599 then there's these gems you can use to upgrade your 1297 00:56:32.679 --> 00:56:36.159 character more permanently. But it really is just that combination 1298 00:56:36.239 --> 00:56:39.760 of like, Okay, this combat feels really good and smooth. 1299 00:56:39.840 --> 00:56:42.840 You can vault over enemies what you're doing constantly, right 1300 00:56:42.880 --> 00:56:44.639 because you know they're doing these slow attacks in front 1301 00:56:44.679 --> 00:56:47.119 of you, so you hit them twice, you vault over them. 1302 00:56:47.440 --> 00:56:49.559 You also have this kick, so you can kick an 1303 00:56:49.639 --> 00:56:51.760 enemy into another enemy and now they're days Kick them 1304 00:56:51.760 --> 00:56:53.639 into a wall, kick them off of a ledge, kick 1305 00:56:53.679 --> 00:56:56.880 a pot into them. So that's another factor in all 1306 00:56:56.920 --> 00:57:01.199 of that. So yeah, you know Lost Crown had incredible combat. 1307 00:57:01.280 --> 00:57:03.639 This isn't exactly the same thing. There's no juggling or 1308 00:57:03.639 --> 00:57:07.320 stuff like that. This combat still feels very responsive, very 1309 00:57:07.320 --> 00:57:10.480 good and has an excellent flow to it. And you 1310 00:57:10.519 --> 00:57:12.199 know when there's like larger groups of enemies and you 1311 00:57:12.239 --> 00:57:14.320 are doing things like hitting this guy and wall running 1312 00:57:14.400 --> 00:57:16.440 up there to attack that guy for a little bit, 1313 00:57:16.719 --> 00:57:20.400 you're kind of constantly moving while you're attacking. Just a 1314 00:57:20.519 --> 00:57:23.800 very pretty game. I'm not even sure how to describe 1315 00:57:24.079 --> 00:57:26.719 the art style. It almost has that roscope quality of 1316 00:57:26.760 --> 00:57:29.760 the original Prince of Persias, but just much more vibrant, 1317 00:57:30.199 --> 00:57:34.280 much more colorful, really interesting soundtrack that like, you know, 1318 00:57:34.320 --> 00:57:35.880 it has a little bit of like that old world 1319 00:57:36.000 --> 00:57:41.440 sound but very modern. Yeah, this is this isn't this 1320 00:57:41.480 --> 00:57:47.639 isn't freaking warrior with it clastic. Yeah, but gosh it, 1321 00:57:47.639 --> 00:57:51.039 it just felt so smooth playing this thing. And again 1322 00:57:51.079 --> 00:57:53.000 I love that platforming. It's sometimes you would get to 1323 00:57:53.119 --> 00:57:55.719 challenge rooms where it's just all about the wall running 1324 00:57:55.760 --> 00:57:57.760 and then you know, like actual walls and then that 1325 00:57:57.800 --> 00:58:00.360 wall behind you and then you're grabbing on the pull 1326 00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:03.000 and you're jumping over there. Boss fights are very good, 1327 00:58:03.119 --> 00:58:06.119 very hades. Like with the boss fights where that's where 1328 00:58:06.119 --> 00:58:08.719 the time mechanic comes in, is that when you die, 1329 00:58:09.079 --> 00:58:11.239 he has a magic pendent that just you know, starts 1330 00:58:11.280 --> 00:58:13.559 it over again. So that's where you get that Prince 1331 00:58:13.599 --> 00:58:17.639 of Persia time rewind thing happening here. So you see 1332 00:58:17.639 --> 00:58:20.039 the boss and he does it's like haites. He very 1333 00:58:20.119 --> 00:58:22.199 much will be like going like, oh it's this guy again. 1334 00:58:22.239 --> 00:58:26.000 Except now the boss doesn't remember, but you do. But yeah, 1335 00:58:26.000 --> 00:58:28.559 the bosses are really neat. They have they have mechanics 1336 00:58:28.559 --> 00:58:30.880 that again really depend on you having to use that 1337 00:58:30.920 --> 00:58:33.599 wall running Like I thought, this giant behemoth who's sending 1338 00:58:33.679 --> 00:58:36.039 these shockwaves and some of them were really big. You 1339 00:58:36.039 --> 00:58:37.639 can't just jump over it. I had to kind of 1340 00:58:37.679 --> 00:58:40.519 scurry up the wall behind me to get over it. 1341 00:58:41.159 --> 00:58:43.800 I just I don't know, I was very impressed. I 1342 00:58:43.800 --> 00:58:46.159 think people knock his game a little bit say that 1343 00:58:46.159 --> 00:58:48.679 it's not very long for one of these, so maybe 1344 00:58:48.719 --> 00:58:51.000 it doesn't have the most okay, you beat or run, 1345 00:58:51.039 --> 00:58:52.880 what do you do now? Things? And I got, you know, 1346 00:58:52.960 --> 00:58:56.639 a good deal past halfway point just in a few 1347 00:58:56.719 --> 00:58:59.360 runs of doing that. So maybe it's not the longest 1348 00:58:59.400 --> 00:59:02.239 one of these, but I would it feels so good. 1349 00:59:02.639 --> 00:59:05.239 You might have like said it, but just clarify, So 1350 00:59:05.280 --> 00:59:07.920 what are you progressing things outside of your runs to 1351 00:59:08.000 --> 00:59:08.480 like make. 1352 00:59:08.360 --> 00:59:11.599 It easier or yeah, like there's what's permanent here, so 1353 00:59:11.679 --> 00:59:14.039 you do actually just level up right like you gets 1354 00:59:14.360 --> 00:59:16.559 for killing enemies, and every time you level up, you 1355 00:59:16.559 --> 00:59:18.960 get a point and there's essentially skill trees and you 1356 00:59:19.000 --> 00:59:21.039 can kind of go that to do things like like 1357 00:59:21.119 --> 00:59:24.079 you have like outdoxyl style potion, right, and you can 1358 00:59:24.119 --> 00:59:26.199 carry two of this. Now you can start a run 1359 00:59:26.239 --> 00:59:28.519 with more health, start a run with gold coins, which 1360 00:59:28.559 --> 00:59:30.239 is what you use at shops and things like that. 1361 00:59:30.559 --> 00:59:34.039 You can also go to an armorer and unlock a 1362 00:59:34.079 --> 00:59:36.599 new weapon that can show up during your runs now 1363 00:59:36.679 --> 00:59:39.039 or new ambulets are things that kind of like the 1364 00:59:39.079 --> 00:59:44.000 per run bonuses like now plus ten to your weapon 1365 00:59:44.079 --> 00:59:46.480 damage or some of them are a bit goofier than that. Right, 1366 00:59:46.760 --> 00:59:48.480 It's a lot of the typical stuff that you are 1367 00:59:48.480 --> 00:59:51.559 expecting here. I just think it looks really pretty, it 1368 00:59:51.719 --> 00:59:55.480 sounds really pretty, and the movement is fantastic. 1369 00:59:56.079 --> 00:59:58.920 I predict that at some point in the next six 1370 00:59:59.000 --> 01:00:01.360 to eight months there's going to be a down week 1371 01:00:01.440 --> 01:00:03.519 or two and I'm going to play this game, and 1372 01:00:03.519 --> 01:00:05.679 I'm going to come onto this podcast and I'm gonna, 1373 01:00:05.800 --> 01:00:08.280 not as a joke, be like this game is fucking awesome. 1374 01:00:08.320 --> 01:00:10.039 I can't believe no one's brought this game up on 1375 01:00:10.079 --> 01:00:12.440 this podcast. That's going to happen, that's fair. 1376 01:00:12.679 --> 01:00:15.519 Yeah, yeah, I think Mary was already telling you about 1377 01:00:15.519 --> 01:00:16.639 it on fire Escape over. 1378 01:00:16.519 --> 01:00:18.639 Mary Bonk, Like, you know, several people have told me 1379 01:00:18.639 --> 01:00:20.360 about it now, and I'll get to it eventually. 1380 01:00:20.440 --> 01:00:23.239 Yes, And someone chat said like, I'm not as far 1381 01:00:23.320 --> 01:00:24.880 into it as I thought, even so there might be 1382 01:00:24.960 --> 01:00:27.880 more to the game still. Yeah, but I really do 1383 01:00:27.960 --> 01:00:29.639 get the impression a lot of people kind of don't 1384 01:00:29.679 --> 01:00:31.480 want to hear it. This game is good right now. 1385 01:00:32.000 --> 01:00:34.679 It was interly access for a bit, so it's out 1386 01:00:34.679 --> 01:00:36.639 a bit like, oh, they that's a game that already 1387 01:00:36.679 --> 01:00:38.920 kind of happened. I don't want to think about this now. No, 1388 01:00:39.000 --> 01:00:42.199 the one point Oh release was very recent and it's 1389 01:00:42.599 --> 01:00:45.280 it's again. I know there's other things you probably want 1390 01:00:45.280 --> 01:00:47.159 to play, especially things kind of like this. We had 1391 01:00:47.519 --> 01:00:51.079 Ninja Guid and we had Shanobi. We've got a Hollow 1392 01:00:51.199 --> 01:00:53.760 Night right now, so you know they aren't roguelikes, but 1393 01:00:53.800 --> 01:00:58.400 they're two the action games, and that's what this is. Uh, 1394 01:00:58.639 --> 01:01:00.159 it's not getting the attention to the other one. But 1395 01:01:00.199 --> 01:01:02.760 I think it's very nice. I think people should check 1396 01:01:02.760 --> 01:01:05.960 it out if they like these times plus or at 1397 01:01:06.039 --> 01:01:08.599 least the second tier of it. Whatever about you mentioned 1398 01:01:08.760 --> 01:01:10.559 someone some of my chats that was on game pass 1399 01:01:11.119 --> 01:01:12.639 or in the Giant Blum chat when I was playing it. 1400 01:01:12.639 --> 01:01:15.199 I'm not sure if that's right. It's on game Pass, 1401 01:01:15.239 --> 01:01:19.239 so yeah, I mean there's ways to check this out. Gosh, 1402 01:01:18.679 --> 01:01:21.480 it's interesting how they've been doing good stuff with Prince 1403 01:01:21.480 --> 01:01:23.360 of Persia. And I'm not sure how sticky it is, 1404 01:01:23.400 --> 01:01:27.440 but the quality of it has been fantastic. Mm hmm. 1405 01:01:27.599 --> 01:01:29.840 Yeah, I'm gonna try this out at some point. I'll 1406 01:01:29.840 --> 01:01:31.239 put it on the Steam deck and I'll probably just 1407 01:01:31.239 --> 01:01:32.880 get it to it after Silk Song at some point. 1408 01:01:33.599 --> 01:01:35.880 You know, what's the first name? I bet does not 1409 01:01:35.920 --> 01:01:42.920 have any Persian origins or counterparts? Henry speaking of Henry's 1410 01:01:43.400 --> 01:01:49.360 Jeff Grubb as well, but checking out Henry half Head. 1411 01:01:49.760 --> 01:01:51.800 Oh I know about this game is that just kids 1412 01:01:51.800 --> 01:01:54.440 are apparently obsessed with it. Otherwise I don't really know 1413 01:01:54.519 --> 01:01:56.880 what this is. How are you finding it? Uh? 1414 01:01:56.960 --> 01:01:59.519 Yeah, I mean it's definitely a game that kids can 1415 01:01:59.519 --> 01:02:06.360 get upset with. It's a geist like usual, yeah duh. 1416 01:02:06.440 --> 01:02:09.400 You play as Henry Halfhead, uh, and you go through 1417 01:02:09.400 --> 01:02:11.880 the entire life of this little guy. So you start 1418 01:02:11.880 --> 01:02:13.719 as a baby and you're gonna end when he dies 1419 01:02:13.800 --> 01:02:15.920 and all the stuff that happens in between, and so 1420 01:02:15.920 --> 01:02:19.440 it's these vignettes and the gameplay is you take Henry 1421 01:02:19.440 --> 01:02:20.880 and you slide him across the floor. 1422 01:02:20.960 --> 01:02:22.880 He's the top half of the head, so he just. 1423 01:02:22.880 --> 01:02:25.480 Kind of who knows, who knows what's going on underneath there, honestly, 1424 01:02:25.519 --> 01:02:30.239 but he's sliding across the floor. Yeah, exactly how his 1425 01:02:30.320 --> 01:02:34.079 origin story is. Gram Uh.

So if you become 1431 01:02:47.239 --> 01:02:49.599 a cran, you can move around as a cran, and 1432 01:02:49.599 --> 01:02:51.639 then you could hold this sort of like up.

I prioritize 1542 01:07:45.320 --> 01:07:46.840 our things. But I did want to bring it up 1543 01:07:46.880 --> 01:07:49.079 since it's kind of a slower week for me in general. 1544 01:07:49.199 --> 01:07:52.159 Have been mostly playing on the Retroid. But yeah, I 1545 01:07:52.199 --> 01:07:54.519 want to talk about this a little bit because I 1546 01:07:54.599 --> 01:07:57.639 think maybe things are things are stirring a little bit. 1547 01:07:57.639 --> 01:08:00.440 I'm seeing more articles.

Because like the processing. 1552 01:08:17.439 --> 01:08:21.000 It basically makes fun of the open road stuff from 1553 01:08:21.600 --> 01:08:24.199 Mario Kart World if you want to like race on 1554 01:08:24.239 --> 01:08:26.039 these super ass tracks, or do you want to go 1555 01:08:26.159 --> 01:08:28.640 on the open road, So it's like a lame camper 1556 01:08:28.760 --> 01:08:30.399 or it just like a barren wasteland. 1557 01:08:31.760 --> 01:08:35.880 Jesus does when Nintendo' the t start to a car. 1558 01:08:35.840 --> 01:08:41.039 Ad does, Yeah, Like that's funny, she's to go for it? 1559 01:08:41.479 --> 01:08:41.880 Why not? 1560 01:08:42.359 --> 01:08:44.239 But yeah, I played I played the network test a 1561 01:08:44.279 --> 01:08:46.399 couple of weekends ago. I played a lot of its solo. 1562 01:08:46.640 --> 01:08:50.399 I played it with friends, and it like just feels 1563 01:08:50.479 --> 01:08:53.560 really good. And it's kind of just Mario Kart eight 1564 01:08:53.640 --> 01:08:57.279 Deluxe with some of their own like ideas on top. 1565 01:08:57.680 --> 01:09:00.279 And I think that's kind of what people want out 1566 01:09:00.279 --> 01:09:02.600 of this genre right now. Just give us like a 1567 01:09:02.840 --> 01:09:06.520 different game that's still like mechanically very much what eight 1568 01:09:06.640 --> 01:09:09.960 was already doing. Uh yeah, yet, how did you? 1569 01:09:10.439 --> 01:09:13.520 Yeah, how'd you feel about Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed, 1570 01:09:13.520 --> 01:09:14.720 which is the Transformed? 1571 01:09:14.720 --> 01:09:16.880 I liked a lot. Yeah, that's been quite a while. 1572 01:09:16.920 --> 01:09:21.079 I think this is better from One Flight. Yeah, like, okay, 1573 01:09:21.119 --> 01:09:25.119 I do like Transform, but telling about Transform felt, I 1574 01:09:25.159 --> 01:09:27.319 don't know, just a little generic. It's hard to put 1575 01:09:27.319 --> 01:09:29.640 my finger on what even I do think. 1576 01:09:30.439 --> 01:09:31.359 Yeah, that was made by. 1577 01:09:31.319 --> 01:09:34.479 Sumo Digital, right, and this is made by Team Sonic Sonics. 1578 01:09:34.600 --> 01:09:36.720 The Sonic Team's actually work. I guess maybe it's kind 1579 01:09:36.720 --> 01:09:37.119 of strange. 1580 01:09:37.119 --> 01:09:38.960 And you can also tell because there's some small stuff 1581 01:09:38.960 --> 01:09:42.560 about like, hey, these characters talk a little bit too much, sometimes. 1582 01:09:42.319 --> 01:09:44.479 Talk a lot, and there's something about the way Sonic 1583 01:09:44.560 --> 01:09:48.920 characters talk that is so like two thousand Saturday Morning 1584 01:09:49.000 --> 01:09:51.439 cartoon that I kind of can't stand. Yeah, I don't 1585 01:09:51.439 --> 01:09:54.239 know if that's too specific. It makes sense. It's kind 1586 01:09:54.239 --> 01:09:57.119 of something about their chatter is it's it's all cringey. 1587 01:09:57.439 --> 01:10:00.600 Some might say it's a bit like the Bad Animaze 1588 01:10:00.720 --> 01:10:01.960 a lot of time how I think. 1589 01:10:04.119 --> 01:10:05.079 Media for children. 1590 01:10:07.960 --> 01:10:10.800 But yeah, the feel of racing is very good. They 1591 01:10:10.800 --> 01:10:13.239 do have like the flying segments and the water segments. Hey, 1592 01:10:13.279 --> 01:10:16.119 where have we seen that before? They do the kind 1593 01:10:16.119 --> 01:10:19.520 of interesting thing with the Cross World stuff where every 1594 01:10:19.800 --> 01:10:22.720 race will be three laps and the second lap whoever 1595 01:10:22.800 --> 01:10:24.840 is in the lead. Mike talked about this a little bit, 1596 01:10:24.840 --> 01:10:27.319 but whoever's in the lead gets to pick. You go 1597 01:10:27.399 --> 01:10:30.840 to one other course, like not even from the Cup, 1598 01:10:31.079 --> 01:10:33.920 but just a different course entirely for one lap, and 1599 01:10:33.960 --> 01:10:36.159 they go back to this one. But then you also 1600 01:10:36.399 --> 01:10:38.399 end the cup with like the greatest hits of the 1601 01:10:38.439 --> 01:10:40.600 three tracks you just played. It's a bit of an 1602 01:10:40.720 --> 01:10:44.359 odd layout for a cup, but it's kind of fresh. 1603 01:10:44.479 --> 01:10:47.680 I think what's really fresh is that there's a currency 1604 01:10:47.800 --> 01:10:50.840 system where as you do well in races, as you 1605 01:10:50.920 --> 01:10:54.039 finish well, you get currency, and you know how it's 1606 01:10:54.119 --> 01:10:56.199 kind of annoying when you're trying to get the best 1607 01:10:56.239 --> 01:10:59.680 possible score on Grand Prix and like, oh, great, I 1608 01:10:59.720 --> 01:11:02.119 got second one time because I got blue shelled. Well, 1609 01:11:02.159 --> 01:11:05.159 you can spend that currency to then retry the race, 1610 01:11:05.560 --> 01:11:08.159 so you can like stay in the Grand Prix. And 1611 01:11:08.199 --> 01:11:10.680 granted you'll only yeah, you'll only get some of these 1612 01:11:10.720 --> 01:11:12.680 bonuses once, so it's like you can only do it 1613 01:11:12.720 --> 01:11:14.920 so many times in a row. But that way it's 1614 01:11:14.920 --> 01:11:16.920 a little bit easier to like, Oh, I kind of 1615 01:11:16.920 --> 01:11:19.960 gut screwed over by their Blueshell equivalent. Let me try 1616 01:11:19.960 --> 01:11:22.760 that one again. I think that's really cool. They're doing 1617 01:11:22.880 --> 01:11:25.640 interesting stuff with the multiplayer too, Like during the network 1618 01:11:25.640 --> 01:11:29.319 test they had, they called it, I keep want to 1619 01:11:29.319 --> 01:11:31.680 call a splatfest or whatever, but because it was, they 1620 01:11:31.760 --> 01:11:34.239 advertise it as like a festival thing where you race 1621 01:11:34.520 --> 01:11:37.279 with different rules. Normally multiplayer is just the racing like 1622 01:11:37.319 --> 01:11:41.680 single player, but in this different rules one you are 1623 01:11:41.720 --> 01:11:44.239 on a team. It's twelve characters in a race, and 1624 01:11:44.279 --> 01:11:47.239 you're on a team of four, and you get bonuses 1625 01:11:47.600 --> 01:11:50.600 for doing various things, such as if you bump into 1626 01:11:50.640 --> 01:11:53.560 each other, you'll get a score bonus if you'll sometimes 1627 01:11:53.600 --> 01:11:56.039 it's like targeting with items or stuff like that. They'll 1628 01:11:56.039 --> 01:11:59.199 have special rules for you do so. Then based on 1629 01:11:59.239 --> 01:12:02.479 your placement in Mario Kart, how your team does, you'll 1630 01:12:02.479 --> 01:12:04.760 get score, and then you'll get the bonus score on 1631 01:12:04.840 --> 01:12:07.600 top and the goals to get the best score overall. 1632 01:12:07.640 --> 01:12:09.880 So how well did you race and how well did 1633 01:12:09.920 --> 01:12:12.000 you adhere to the special rules. I think that's an 1634 01:12:12.039 --> 01:12:15.279 interesting little twist, and combined that with the fact that, yeah, 1635 01:12:15.279 --> 01:12:18.680 it is like every Sonic character you could want. They 1636 01:12:18.720 --> 01:12:23.119 got jokers in there, they got a bunch of Nickelodeon characters, Minecraft, 1637 01:12:23.159 --> 01:12:28.600 Steve Hatson, a Miku like it's it's looking pretty cool actually, 1638 01:12:28.760 --> 01:12:31.039 and it does sting a little bit that it's a 1639 01:12:31.079 --> 01:12:34.479 seventy dollars game in steff of sixty. That's also ten 1640 01:12:34.520 --> 01:12:35.680 dollars sheep in Mario Kart. 1641 01:12:35.680 --> 01:12:37.960 For what it's worth, it's a steal. 1642 01:12:38.079 --> 01:12:41.800 Yeah. Yeah, I just think they nailed feeling like a 1643 01:12:41.840 --> 01:12:44.439 Mario Kart game. They have a lot of interesting stuff 1644 01:12:44.439 --> 01:12:46.239 that they add on top that makes it feel like 1645 01:12:46.239 --> 01:12:48.560 their own. I'm curious to see what other people think 1646 01:12:48.560 --> 01:12:51.880 of it, because I found myself enjoying it a bit 1647 01:12:51.960 --> 01:12:54.920 more than Mario kartt World, because World wasn't really what 1648 01:12:55.039 --> 01:12:57.520 I wanted that game to be. And even if the 1649 01:12:57.600 --> 01:13:00.319 racing is still good in Mario Kart, I do prefer 1650 01:13:00.439 --> 01:13:04.399 this spark traditional as you know, three laps Grand Prix. 1651 01:13:04.680 --> 01:13:08.199 That's what the game is, racing game. I had fun 1652 01:13:08.239 --> 01:13:08.560 with it. 1653 01:13:10.319 --> 01:13:13.600 Yeah, seventy dollars. That sounds like a premium game for 1654 01:13:13.760 --> 01:13:20.199 premium gamers. Oh geez, thanks, Just like just like recent 1655 01:13:20.399 --> 01:13:27.560 release Borderlands four, which we checked out for a while 1656 01:13:27.640 --> 01:13:30.239 or so on UPF, Dan, I think you've been playing 1657 01:13:31.479 --> 01:13:32.880 more of it on your own than. 1658 01:13:34.479 --> 01:13:37.760 I'm not really I played. I played a couple hours 1659 01:13:37.840 --> 01:13:40.359 kind of getting ready for that UPF, and I haven't 1660 01:13:40.359 --> 01:13:42.600 played it since the UPF, so I guess including that 1661 01:13:42.680 --> 01:13:46.239 I've done maybe four hours of the game. Said it 1662 01:13:46.279 --> 01:13:49.279 on UPF. It's definitely better than three which is good, 1663 01:13:49.520 --> 01:13:53.479 you know, tonally, it's not as obnoxious, I will say, 1664 01:13:53.479 --> 01:13:56.880 there's just not good. It's in the face of so 1665 01:13:57.079 --> 01:13:59.359 much stuff I want to play right now. Yeah, and 1666 01:13:59.600 --> 01:14:02.720 when I playing something that's kind of like, okay, this 1667 01:14:02.880 --> 01:14:06.720 is like a better version of that older thing than 1668 01:14:06.760 --> 01:14:08.840 the last time they tried. You know what, it is 1669 01:14:08.840 --> 01:14:09.720 the best selling. 1670 01:14:09.479 --> 01:14:10.199 Point for me. You know. 1671 01:14:10.359 --> 01:14:13.279 Yeah, if all of us were on every night playing it, 1672 01:14:13.479 --> 01:14:15.039 that's then it's like, oh, well, I guess I'll go 1673 01:14:15.119 --> 01:14:17.079 and play border Lands. But when everyone else is playing 1674 01:14:17.239 --> 01:14:18.760 something else, it's like, this is the game that you 1675 01:14:18.800 --> 01:14:20.640 want to just like the whole point of like when 1676 01:14:20.640 --> 01:14:22.039 we say this game is better in Borderlands three, it 1677 01:14:22.039 --> 01:14:23.720 gets out of its own way in a lot of 1678 01:14:23.720 --> 01:14:25.279 ways and just lets you hang out with your friends 1679 01:14:25.279 --> 01:14:26.920 and shoot stuff in a fun way. 1680 01:14:27.199 --> 01:14:28.279 It's really good for that. 1681 01:14:28.399 --> 01:14:31.880 It's the upf I mean, it is just it really 1682 01:14:32.039 --> 01:14:34.840 hits that that sweet spot of like we're doing things, 1683 01:14:34.880 --> 01:14:37.439 we're all moving towards this objective. It's very clear what 1684 01:14:37.479 --> 01:14:40.199 the objective is. There's markers on everything. We don't need 1685 01:14:40.239 --> 01:14:43.079 to stop and consider anything or think. We just point 1686 01:14:43.159 --> 01:14:45.359 and shoot and talk and look at our guns and 1687 01:14:45.399 --> 01:14:47.119 decide which one to equip and then move on to 1688 01:14:47.199 --> 01:14:49.560 the next thing, rinse and repeat. There's you know, you 1689 01:14:49.560 --> 01:14:51.960 can do the grapple stuff, the glider stuff, like things 1690 01:14:51.960 --> 01:14:54.319 that make the mobility more fun. It's definitely like an 1691 01:14:54.399 --> 01:14:56.319 open world in the way that the like previous ones 1692 01:14:56.319 --> 01:14:58.600 were not. The maps are better, but like it is 1693 01:14:58.640 --> 01:15:03.039 still mindless decent action, and I think in the face 1694 01:15:03.079 --> 01:15:05.960 of so much like really stellar stuff that's out right now, 1695 01:15:06.640 --> 01:15:10.159 I uh, it's I have not thought about going back 1696 01:15:10.199 --> 01:15:10.760 to it, you know. 1697 01:15:10.880 --> 01:15:13.079 Yeah, but people people know if Borderlands is for them, 1698 01:15:13.159 --> 01:15:15.279 right like that, Like, and if this is what you've 1699 01:15:15.279 --> 01:15:16.920 been waiting for, you do have friends that you know 1700 01:15:16.960 --> 01:15:19.760 are gonna be on every night. It's delivering all that stuff. 1701 01:15:19.840 --> 01:15:21.520 I'm with you where it's like, there's no way this 1702 01:15:21.600 --> 01:15:23.760 is the game I'm picking out of the lineup of 1703 01:15:23.920 --> 01:15:26.439 just all time bangers that I got before me right now. 1704 01:15:27.319 --> 01:15:29.760 But hey, if if this is the thing you've been 1705 01:15:29.800 --> 01:15:31.479 waiting for, it'll do. It'll do the thing it. 1706 01:15:31.560 --> 01:15:32.520 Says it was going to do. 1707 01:15:32.640 --> 01:15:34.880 Yeah, Like we are all super in the trenches playing 1708 01:15:34.920 --> 01:15:37.239 everything for our jobs and everything. If you're someone who 1709 01:15:37.279 --> 01:15:39.880 just like has a PlayStation and buys a couple of 1710 01:15:39.920 --> 01:15:42.199 games a year, and you got the group you played 1711 01:15:42.239 --> 01:15:44.039 the last few games with and you just have been 1712 01:15:44.039 --> 01:15:46.359 looking forward to doing that again, you're gonna love us. 1713 01:15:46.439 --> 01:15:49.279 It's it's totally that it happened so long since I 1714 01:15:49.319 --> 01:15:51.119 play one of these because I didn't check out border 1715 01:15:51.199 --> 01:15:53.560 Lance three. People are so kind of down on it. 1716 01:15:53.600 --> 01:15:56.119 It didn't really mess around with Tiny Tina's. So there 1717 01:15:56.199 --> 01:15:57.840 was a bit of like, oh yeah, I like I 1718 01:15:57.960 --> 01:15:59.720 liked Borderlands went into a lot. It's kind of a 1719 01:15:59.760 --> 01:16:03.600 little cozy being back here, and it was fun running 1720 01:16:03.640 --> 01:16:07.039 around shooting things. There's almost a little bit of like, Okay, 1721 01:16:07.039 --> 01:16:09.199 there's a couple of new things here. You have that glider, 1722 01:16:09.279 --> 01:16:11.920 you do have that bike. You can someone ever, but 1723 01:16:12.560 --> 01:16:14.560 oh my god, could this be a little juicy or 1724 01:16:14.600 --> 01:16:17.039 somehow because they're like something meteor maybe they could have 1725 01:16:17.039 --> 01:16:18.520 had it. Maybe they don't need to. Maybe it is 1726 01:16:18.560 --> 01:16:22.039 just fine that it is one of those hangout games. 1727 01:16:22.319 --> 01:16:24.840 Although you know, I played Borderlands one and two. They 1728 01:16:24.840 --> 01:16:26.840 were hangout games, but they were also games I would 1729 01:16:26.840 --> 01:16:28.359 just play through the campaign very dear. 1730 01:16:28.520 --> 01:16:29.359 Played Atlands. 1731 01:16:29.680 --> 01:16:32.039 Yeah, there's a part of me it's almost can't really 1732 01:16:32.199 --> 01:16:36.159 imagine me wanting to just play this game by myself 1733 01:16:36.920 --> 01:16:39.199 a whole time. Maybe maybe it's, you know, a good 1734 01:16:39.239 --> 01:16:41.439 podcast game, that sort of thing. I just haven't been 1735 01:16:41.439 --> 01:16:42.239 doing a ton of that. 1736 01:16:42.680 --> 01:16:45.079 I was having some total whiplash and I was playing 1737 01:16:45.119 --> 01:16:47.640 by myself to get the upf already, because I'd be 1738 01:16:47.800 --> 01:16:51.560 downstairs playing this and go upstairs, you know, like Bonks 1739 01:16:51.560 --> 01:16:55.920 playing Hell is Us Upstairs obviously extremely different game. So 1740 01:16:55.960 --> 01:16:57.399 I'm not like comparing one of the other, but like 1741 01:16:57.399 --> 01:16:59.920 sitting down and seeing like wow, this game that is 1742 01:17:00.119 --> 01:17:03.039 like almost no hud and like really it's not gonna 1743 01:17:03.039 --> 01:17:04.840 hold your hand, not going to give you markers. It's 1744 01:17:04.880 --> 01:17:06.479 just like you, you discover where you want to go, 1745 01:17:06.640 --> 01:17:08.520 and then I go downstairs and just like here's four 1746 01:17:08.600 --> 01:17:11.079 hundred skill trees and forty objective markers. Then here's your map, 1747 01:17:11.119 --> 01:17:12.600 and here's this Like oh my god. There are just 1748 01:17:12.840 --> 01:17:14.560 different types of games games out there now. 1749 01:17:15.159 --> 01:17:18.079 Yeah, like, uh, this is a game that still is 1750 01:17:18.319 --> 01:17:22.640 very much part of its Xbox three sixty eraw roots 1751 01:17:22.680 --> 01:17:23.600 for better and for worse. 1752 01:17:23.680 --> 01:17:25.479 Right, it is video game, the video game. 1753 01:17:25.600 --> 01:17:27.800 Yes, yeah, absolutely, you know. I don't mean to be 1754 01:17:27.840 --> 01:17:30.439 even sounding be as down on it as I'm probably amsounding. 1755 01:17:30.479 --> 01:17:32.119 I think it's a good game, and I think it's fun. 1756 01:17:32.159 --> 01:17:34.239 I wouldn't mind playing more of it. Maybe my brothers 1757 01:17:34.239 --> 01:17:36.720 will get into it and I'll check it out some more. 1758 01:17:36.880 --> 01:17:39.680 I will say, like, I don't know if any of 1759 01:17:39.680 --> 01:17:42.680 those four characters this time around really immediately jumped out 1760 01:17:42.720 --> 01:17:45.199 to me. I kind of just ended up picking one 1761 01:17:45.279 --> 01:17:48.319 and being like, yeah, this is okay, I throw axes. 1762 01:17:48.399 --> 01:17:51.359 That's that's fine. It wasn't like even that first Borderlands. 1763 01:17:51.600 --> 01:17:54.960 They all seem kind of interesting and unique about trying 1764 01:17:55.680 --> 01:17:57.239 then like, yeah. 1765 01:17:56.760 --> 01:17:59.760 It's cool where it's like I think, like tonally, I 1766 01:17:59.760 --> 01:18:01.479 think this has shifted to like a lot of the 1767 01:18:01.479 --> 01:18:03.239 more obnoxious stuff down, but there's still the parts who 1768 01:18:03.239 --> 01:18:06.239 they're introducing, the characters, like here's Vex as the siren. 1769 01:18:06.399 --> 01:18:11.159 She's a fucking witch. I don't have them because it's 1770 01:18:11.199 --> 01:18:13.880 difficult because and I've seen some people say it's I 1771 01:18:13.880 --> 01:18:17.840 think I even maybe agree. I saw an over correction 1772 01:18:17.880 --> 01:18:20.119 from three. But like, part of Borderland's thing is that 1773 01:18:20.239 --> 01:18:23.039 it's supposed to be funny, and boys, it hard to 1774 01:18:23.039 --> 01:18:27.199 be funny, especially when the backbone of your humor is 1775 01:18:27.239 --> 01:18:29.319 now out of dating, kind of out of style. So 1776 01:18:29.359 --> 01:18:30.439 how do you be funny? 1777 01:18:30.560 --> 01:18:30.760 Now? 1778 01:18:31.039 --> 01:18:35.359 Good luck with that. It's not my problem.

Game Informer has been there for me 1800 01:19:35.279 --> 01:19:37.439 the whole time. They mean a ton to me, so 1801 01:19:37.479 --> 01:19:39.399 it hurt me, just like I know it hurt a 1802 01:19:39.399 --> 01:19:41.760 lot of you. When the unexpected news came down not 1803 01:19:41.840 --> 01:19:46.199 too long ago that Game Informer was shutting down. But nay, 1804 01:19:46.640 --> 01:19:50.119 fair not, I say, that's right. Game Informer is back, 1805 01:19:50.399 --> 01:19:53.640 and with one hundred percent of the staff that was 1806 01:19:53.680 --> 01:19:54.880 there when it shut down. 1807 01:19:55.119 --> 01:19:57.960 Now, Danny boy, I see that you're holding a magazine 1808 01:19:58.039 --> 01:19:59.800 right there.

But I'm feeling 1813 01:20:11.520 --> 01:20:13.640 this right now. This is this is a smooth cover, 1814 01:20:14.039 --> 01:20:16.880 This is a thick, nice paper here, the print is 1815 01:20:17.000 --> 01:20:20.279 just this is this is a wonderful quality print magazine. 1816 01:20:20.319 --> 01:20:21.319 It makes my heart feel good. 1817 01:20:21.399 --> 01:20:23.600 And I know that Game Informer is a team that 1818 01:20:23.720 --> 01:20:26.920 I can rely on to say something substantial about games 1819 01:20:26.960 --> 01:20:29.079 and the people who make them, because GI has a 1820 01:20:29.159 --> 01:20:31.279 stellar crew of editors. This these are people I love 1821 01:20:31.319 --> 01:20:33.319 to have on the couch at Giant Bomb at night 1822 01:20:33.359 --> 01:20:35.840 over at Summer Game Fest. It's people I can always 1823 01:20:35.840 --> 01:20:38.159 rely to have something interesting to say. That's why I 1824 01:20:38.199 --> 01:20:40.760 know when they have those excellent cover stories, just like 1825 01:20:40.800 --> 01:20:43.199 they always did and always will continue to do so, 1826 01:20:43.800 --> 01:20:45.600 it's going to be some of the best coverage in 1827 01:20:45.720 --> 01:20:46.399 video games. 1828 01:20:46.479 --> 01:20:50.239 And another fun bonus, Game Informer donates five percent of 1829 01:20:50.319 --> 01:20:54.479 every subscription purchase directly to Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital. 1830 01:20:54.520 --> 01:20:57.520 You know earlier this year the future seemed very uncertain 1831 01:20:57.560 --> 01:21:00.920 for both Game Informer and Giant Bomb. That's putting it mildly, 1832 01:21:01.239 --> 01:21:03.880 and as someone whose life in gaming hobby has been 1833 01:21:03.920 --> 01:21:07.640 greatly impacted by both of those outlets, I am thrilled 1834 01:21:07.800 --> 01:21:10.479 that we are both back and doing our thing online, 1835 01:21:10.640 --> 01:21:14.399 in your podcast, apps and in print in your hand. 1836 01:21:14.680 --> 01:21:17.640 That is right, gaming news, reviews, everything in between, sent 1837 01:21:17.720 --> 01:21:21.600 straight to your mailbox every month.

So yeah, pretty. 1910 01:25:03.840 --> 01:25:05.800 Played many of these games back to the day. I 1911 01:25:05.800 --> 01:25:10.039 don't remember them being good. That Rockos like game was 1912 01:25:10.079 --> 01:25:13.439 like an annoying sort of Lemmings like where you're basically 1913 01:25:13.479 --> 01:25:18.239 we're just getting his dog uh to like one place 1914 01:25:18.319 --> 01:25:20.039 or the other, and like the dog's always moving, so 1915 01:25:20.079 --> 01:25:21.600 you have to like set up the traps. Make sure 1916 01:25:21.600 --> 01:25:24.720 he doesn't get hurt, Spunky. That's it. Yeah, that kind 1917 01:25:24.720 --> 01:25:27.720 of thing. I remember. The Ario Monsters game on Genesis 1918 01:25:27.760 --> 01:25:29.760 was a game that I begged for for my birthday 1919 01:25:30.319 --> 01:25:32.239 and then got it. I was so excited, and then 1920 01:25:32.319 --> 01:25:33.920 I think I played it like once or twice and 1921 01:25:33.960 --> 01:25:37.079 I was like, it's not very good, very good. 1922 01:25:37.600 --> 01:25:41.920 But I mean, I'm surprised to who owned the rights 1923 01:25:41.920 --> 01:25:43.399 to Ren and Stimpy because when I think of like 1924 01:25:43.600 --> 01:25:45.680 that era of Nickelodeon, I think of the Nicktoons, you know, 1925 01:25:45.680 --> 01:25:47.159 his rever ads. It was Rent and Stimpy, and like 1926 01:25:47.199 --> 01:25:48.399 there were games for all those. 1927 01:25:48.319 --> 01:25:50.319 You know, they made so many Rent Stimpy games that 1928 01:25:50.319 --> 01:25:51.800 could almost be its own collection. 1929 01:25:52.079 --> 01:25:52.279 Yeah. 1930 01:25:52.279 --> 01:25:54.720 I owned them as a huge Rent and Simpy fan. 1931 01:25:54.720 --> 01:25:56.680 I wanted them to be good, but they were not great. 1932 01:25:57.000 --> 01:25:59.359 This feels like that era right after Rent and Stimpy, 1933 01:25:59.479 --> 01:26:03.720 right Rocos Modern Life, Well, yeah, a little bit later. 1934 01:26:04.680 --> 01:26:07.439 Rock Rocco was the very first new Nicktoon, so it's 1935 01:26:07.439 --> 01:26:13.720 it's pretty close with it. 1936 01:26:11.479 --> 01:26:13.800 Was the first three were it was Dug, then Rugrats, 1937 01:26:13.840 --> 01:26:15.520 then Ren and Simpy. So that was the first three 1938 01:26:15.600 --> 01:26:18.600 and then you started getting Rocko, Real Monsters, and then 1939 01:26:18.640 --> 01:26:20.560 later on it was like recess and stuff like that. 1940 01:26:21.199 --> 01:26:23.960 But yeah, yeah, simply wasn't that first wave of nickdoons. 1941 01:26:23.960 --> 01:26:26.319 So le's the last thing that I see on the 1942 01:26:26.359 --> 01:26:29.600 Wikipedia page mentioned is like Comedy Central doing something with 1943 01:26:29.680 --> 01:26:34.760 Ren Stippy. So I was assumed Viacom, MTV that whole thing. 1944 01:26:34.880 --> 01:26:37.800 The MTV or I think it was Spike TV at 1945 01:26:37.800 --> 01:26:43.279 the time ran a like New Now, but it was like, oh, 1946 01:26:43.279 --> 01:26:45.119 it's for adult. It's like they fuck now and they 1947 01:26:45.119 --> 01:26:46.039 say ship. 1948 01:26:46.119 --> 01:26:51.960 You know that's not U. It was that in Striperella 1949 01:26:52.039 --> 01:26:55.640 I remember as part of the adult cartoons advertised a 1950 01:26:55.680 --> 01:26:58.840 lot during raw on Spike TV. Imagine that, yeah. 1951 01:26:59.279 --> 01:27:01.159 Yeah, these games might be bad, but that's sort of 1952 01:27:01.199 --> 01:27:04.800 beside the point, and people can get excited about bad things. 1953 01:27:04.960 --> 01:27:07.560 As you might have noticed from our next story here, 1954 01:27:07.960 --> 01:27:09.239 Virtual Boy is back. 1955 01:27:10.359 --> 01:27:15.159 Virtual Boy is one hundred dollars right there. It's going 1956 01:27:15.239 --> 01:27:17.920 to be one hundred dollars for the plastic version that 1957 01:27:17.920 --> 01:27:19.880 has the lenses in it where you slide a switch 1958 01:27:19.920 --> 01:27:22.560 in and then you start up Nintendo Switch Classics Virtual 1959 01:27:22.600 --> 01:27:24.760 Boy and you can play Virtual Boy games. If you 1960 01:27:24.800 --> 01:27:26.680 don't get that, well, you can get the twenty five 1961 01:27:26.760 --> 01:27:29.199 dollars Labo cardboard. 1962 01:27:28.720 --> 01:27:30.239 Version that also has the lenses in there. 1963 01:27:30.239 --> 01:27:32.560 You slide your switch into that played the Nintendo's Switch 1964 01:27:32.600 --> 01:27:35.439 Classics Virtual Boy games. If you don't have one of 1965 01:27:35.439 --> 01:27:38.560 those two things, apparently this is not gonna work. 1966 01:27:38.600 --> 01:27:40.279 How are you gonna how grub? How are you going 1967 01:27:40.319 --> 01:27:41.119 to fucking play the games? 1968 01:27:41.119 --> 01:27:44.119 Then you're right, I'm speaking. It's ridiculous. 1969 01:27:44.199 --> 01:27:46.479 The technology is not there if you don't have the 1970 01:27:46.479 --> 01:27:47.520 cardboard or the plastic. 1971 01:27:47.600 --> 01:27:49.359 Here's why I'm upset about it. I don't think we'll 1972 01:27:49.359 --> 01:27:51.720 be able to stream anything if we have to keep 1973 01:27:51.880 --> 01:27:55.119 the switch. If I want, I'm going to find a way. 1974 01:27:55.199 --> 01:27:56.359 Hang on, are there actually? 1975 01:27:56.560 --> 01:28:00.000 I can't imagine there are any actual connections with these things. 1976 01:28:00.520 --> 01:28:02.000 I'm sure you just slide the thing in there. It's 1977 01:28:02.039 --> 01:28:05.279 not like it goes into a plug or USBC or something, right, 1978 01:28:05.399 --> 01:28:07.680 so like you would be able to it would probably 1979 01:28:07.720 --> 01:28:08.600 just look all fed up. 1980 01:28:08.840 --> 01:28:11.000 It looked a very long cord. 1981 01:28:11.119 --> 01:28:14.239 I know, because if the switch to textas ducked, it 1982 01:28:14.239 --> 01:28:15.720 could lock you out of using the app. 1983 01:28:16.800 --> 01:28:18.880 Oh my god, I could see them doing that. 1984 01:28:19.319 --> 01:28:20.880 But it's like it's not really I mean, I guess 1985 01:28:20.920 --> 01:28:24.479 I'm trying to think, like, uh, well, yeah. 1986 01:28:24.479 --> 01:28:26.800 I mean handhld it would be fine because that's the 1987 01:28:26.840 --> 01:28:30.000 way that this thing works. Is yeah, I know, me 1988 01:28:30.039 --> 01:28:31.800 and grub are more of the Android guys here. Do 1989 01:28:31.840 --> 01:28:34.600 you guys remember a Google cardboard from back in the day, 1990 01:28:34.680 --> 01:28:35.800 Dan and oh yeah. 1991 01:28:35.600 --> 01:28:37.960 We're Yeah, they're pushing that. 1992 01:28:37.960 --> 01:28:40.560 That's what this is. Your phone just has the content 1993 01:28:40.640 --> 01:28:43.000 on there, you know, two different screens so that way, 1994 01:28:43.039 --> 01:28:45.880 when the lenses come together, your eyes make it stereoscopic 1995 01:28:45.880 --> 01:28:47.640 three D. That's what they're doing here. 1996 01:28:47.920 --> 01:28:49.319 You know what, Fuck them. 1997 01:28:49.399 --> 01:28:52.880 We have our own ways of streaming virtual We can. 1998 01:28:54.000 --> 01:28:57.600 Assuming it is just like two of the same image basedly, 1999 01:28:57.640 --> 01:29:00.279 couldn't you just crop it an obs and just treat 2000 01:28:59.880 --> 01:29:01.000 it right? 2001 01:29:01.359 --> 01:29:01.920 Deshaun's right. 2002 01:29:01.960 --> 01:29:03.560 And the more I think about it, the more I'm like, yeah, 2003 01:29:03.560 --> 01:29:04.960 if we try to dock it, it's not gonna let 2004 01:29:04.960 --> 01:29:06.439 you launch the It's amazing. 2005 01:29:08.039 --> 01:29:08.520 Beautiful. 2006 01:29:08.560 --> 01:29:12.600 I'm guessing you're right. People need to like people like, 2007 01:29:12.680 --> 01:29:14.239 why are they excited? The virtual boy was bad? 2008 01:29:14.479 --> 01:29:17.960 We know, no, it is just ques. This morning, as 2009 01:29:18.000 --> 01:29:20.479 I was drinking from my Virtual Boy mug, I was thinking, 2010 01:29:21.000 --> 01:29:23.439 is this ironic technically helps meuse? 2011 01:29:23.600 --> 01:29:27.279 I was showing back the ironically excited legitimately excited. 2012 01:29:27.399 --> 01:29:29.359 That's how I feel like. I don't think it's ironic. 2013 01:29:29.399 --> 01:29:31.960 It's ironic. Exciting would be like this thing sucks and 2014 01:29:32.000 --> 01:29:34.720 we're gonna act like It's like, I genuinely love that 2015 01:29:34.800 --> 01:29:37.359 this exists. I think this is just hilarious. 2016 01:29:37.520 --> 01:29:40.560 You know, like when The Phantom Menace goes back into theaters, 2017 01:29:40.760 --> 01:29:44.399 I'm legitimately excited. I think Phantom Menace is a bad movie, 2018 01:29:44.600 --> 01:29:47.039 but I was legitimately. It's the same thing where it's like, yeah, 2019 01:29:47.119 --> 01:29:50.439 Virtual Boy objectively lots of things wrong with it. 2020 01:29:50.880 --> 01:29:51.479 I don't care. 2021 01:29:52.079 --> 01:29:54.079 There's no difference between good and bad things, just what 2022 01:29:54.119 --> 01:29:56.119 gets me, like what makes me feel happy and what doesn't. 2023 01:29:56.119 --> 01:29:57.119 This makes me feel happy. 2024 01:29:57.279 --> 01:30:00.119 So there's just genuinely good games on Virtual Boy, no 2025 01:30:01.119 --> 01:30:03.920 mind you. But like Warrial Land is legitimately a very 2026 01:30:03.920 --> 01:30:06.119 good game. There's a couple of solid ones too, like 2027 01:30:06.159 --> 01:30:09.079 the Galactic Pinball or whatever. It's like, that's a solid game. 2028 01:30:09.279 --> 01:30:12.000 And now it feels like retrofugue futurism, where like this 2029 01:30:12.079 --> 01:30:15.039 is like an alternative timeline technology could have started going down, 2030 01:30:15.079 --> 01:30:16.960 and of course it didn't and it wouldn't have. But 2031 01:30:17.279 --> 01:30:18.840 I don't know, there's something fun about it now. 2032 01:30:19.119 --> 01:30:21.319 You know, there's something about Nintendo is always that company 2033 01:30:21.319 --> 01:30:23.720 that could do anything. Sometimes it's bad things that they do, 2034 01:30:23.920 --> 01:30:27.079 for sure. Criticism are things there, but you know there 2035 01:30:27.079 --> 01:30:29.479 are some things like, well they won't do this. Well 2036 01:30:29.520 --> 01:30:31.840 here they are just releasing the Virtual Boy again, so 2037 01:30:31.880 --> 01:30:35.119 it just kind of reinforces the they could do anything 2038 01:30:35.520 --> 01:30:36.960 mentality with Nintendo. 2039 01:30:37.199 --> 01:30:39.520 Yeah, and if this is too much for you also, 2040 01:30:39.720 --> 01:30:42.279 like undoubtedly people will put out like you know, the 2041 01:30:42.399 --> 01:30:45.119 ten dollars on Amazon version of the cardboard and are 2042 01:30:45.159 --> 01:30:45.960 things so sure? 2043 01:30:46.039 --> 01:30:48.800 Yeah, and I'm looking at this, it looks like it 2044 01:30:48.840 --> 01:30:50.520 does not come with any kind of like you know, 2045 01:30:50.560 --> 01:30:53.119 the controller was like attached the stand and stuff like, 2046 01:30:53.159 --> 01:30:53.920 it's not going to. 2047 01:30:53.920 --> 01:30:56.239 Be Tooizumi was using joy cons with the grip and 2048 01:30:56.279 --> 01:30:57.359 the presentation everything. 2049 01:30:57.520 --> 01:31:00.680 That's too bad. I need the two deepads. You kind 2050 01:31:00.680 --> 01:31:04.279 of can replicate that. What what games used? I guess 2051 01:31:04.359 --> 01:31:06.720 was that just for like left handed people. No, I 2052 01:31:06.760 --> 01:31:11.079 think to boxer game. Yeah, did you have a virtual boy? 2053 01:31:11.359 --> 01:31:14.359 I had a virtual boy. The first person I've ever 2054 01:31:14.439 --> 01:31:15.720 met that owned a virtual boy. 2055 01:31:15.800 --> 01:31:17.800 I don't know, I don't think a sad one. 2056 01:31:18.079 --> 01:31:21.359 Yeah, it was, I mean, we you know, at the time, 2057 01:31:21.439 --> 01:31:22.760 I didn't think it was bad or I think I 2058 01:31:22.760 --> 01:31:24.520 thought it was really neat. I thought it was fun. 2059 01:31:24.640 --> 01:31:28.600 I liked Mario Clash. Yeah, Warrioland was great. We didn't 2060 01:31:28.600 --> 01:31:31.000 have many games for it. I think it was Tennis 2061 01:31:31.039 --> 01:31:34.479 which came with it. I think that's Mario Clash and 2062 01:31:34.560 --> 01:31:40.159 that was first Mario Tennis. Right wow, And he asked whatever, 2063 01:31:40.239 --> 01:31:42.640 but yeah, okay, all. 2064 01:31:42.600 --> 01:31:45.039 Right, Well the Virtual Boy was back and that happened 2065 01:31:45.079 --> 01:31:46.960 in a Nintendo direct to We'll hit some of the 2066 01:31:46.960 --> 01:31:50.560 big things here. Metroid Prime for Beyond is coming December 2067 01:31:50.600 --> 01:31:56.920 fourth state, it's out this year, kind of close, but 2068 01:31:56.960 --> 01:32:00.000 it is coming out this year. They showed off quite 2069 01:31:59.960 --> 01:32:04.159 a bit more, including a motorcycle segment. You know what, 2070 01:32:05.439 --> 01:32:07.199 there's a lot of talk about how people are feeling 2071 01:32:07.199 --> 01:32:08.800 about Metroy Prime. I think a lot of it's going 2072 01:32:08.880 --> 01:32:10.560 to turn out to be puddle news, where people are 2073 01:32:10.600 --> 01:32:12.439 just they really want this game to be good, so 2074 01:32:12.479 --> 01:32:14.319 anything that gives them a little bit of pause is 2075 01:32:14.359 --> 01:32:16.640 going to be the end of the world. I thought 2076 01:32:16.640 --> 01:32:21.279 the motorcycle looked pretty sick personally, and I'm reserving judgment 2077 01:32:21.319 --> 01:32:22.600 on like how does it feel when I play it? 2078 01:32:22.680 --> 01:32:24.520 Until I play it? What do you guys think, Yeah, 2079 01:32:24.640 --> 01:32:27.079 I just thought it looked really neat. I don't know 2080 01:32:27.119 --> 01:32:29.279 if it is, you know, something you access at all times. 2081 01:32:29.279 --> 01:32:32.039 If it's about these kind of larger open areas and 2082 01:32:32.079 --> 01:32:34.880 just traversing between them, it could be almost the equivalent 2083 01:32:34.960 --> 01:32:38.119 of the Great Sea and wind Waker, right right, Yeah, 2084 01:32:38.159 --> 01:32:39.920 it's kind of traversal in these dards areas. And some 2085 01:32:40.000 --> 01:32:43.960 people don't like the Great Sea. I love the Great Sea. 2086 01:32:44.039 --> 01:32:46.199 I love that kind of longer form traversal, and I 2087 01:32:46.199 --> 01:32:49.000 bet they'll do stuff here to make it fun. But yeah, 2088 01:32:49.039 --> 01:32:50.359 we don't really know what it is, so I'm just 2089 01:32:50.359 --> 01:32:51.319 gonna wait and see. 2090 01:32:51.520 --> 01:32:53.800 Yeah, I assume it's gonna be like Mozelta games, where 2091 01:32:53.800 --> 01:32:56.319 you have a method to get from one place the other. 2092 01:32:56.520 --> 01:32:57.960 So it makes a little more sense that you have 2093 01:32:58.039 --> 01:33:02.960 completely different areas, dungeons, biomes all across the planet, like 2094 01:33:03.000 --> 01:33:05.239 whatever the case may be, this is I think a 2095 01:33:05.319 --> 01:33:09.560 more logical way for Samus to get from you know, say, 2096 01:33:09.600 --> 01:33:14.039 a volcano to an icy area, to a beach or 2097 01:33:14.079 --> 01:33:20.880 a desert than just oh they're on different floors like right, elevator, Yeah, exactly. 2098 01:33:21.159 --> 01:33:23.800 It's like it's just I assume it's going to be 2099 01:33:23.800 --> 01:33:27.000 a fairly fairly linear thing if you want to be. 2100 01:33:27.039 --> 01:33:28.960 And then maybe yeah, there's a couple of places you 2101 01:33:28.960 --> 01:33:31.840 can stop along the way, almost like like a halo 2102 01:33:32.000 --> 01:33:33.920 or something, you know, like when there are v cozy 2103 01:33:34.000 --> 01:33:36.319 kind of just have stops along the way. 2104 01:33:36.520 --> 01:33:37.920 How open was that gear? 2105 01:33:38.000 --> 01:33:40.079 I didn't play that. Most recent Gears of War game 2106 01:33:40.439 --> 01:33:41.119 what was it called? 2107 01:33:45.119 --> 01:33:46.920 Like Act two and Act three were like open, Like 2108 01:33:47.000 --> 01:33:48.640 the one was like this red red desert and the 2109 01:33:48.680 --> 01:33:51.520 other was like you had like a like a like 2110 01:33:51.560 --> 01:33:55.399 a thing they had like a parachute thing that like, Yeah, 2111 01:33:55.479 --> 01:33:56.720 I just played through it a you know, a year 2112 01:33:56.760 --> 01:33:58.439 or two go with Kayla, and it's like it's fun. 2113 01:33:58.560 --> 01:34:02.560 I like that. I think, yeah, it's probably where it's. 2114 01:34:02.399 --> 01:34:05.000 Something like that. Not extremely open, but just a little 2115 01:34:05.000 --> 01:34:07.560 something to do between the normal Gears of War gameplay, right, 2116 01:34:07.600 --> 01:34:07.960 and if you. 2117 01:34:08.000 --> 01:34:09.479 Were to again like mainline it. 2118 01:34:09.960 --> 01:34:12.640 I'm also every time I feel like I see a 2119 01:34:12.680 --> 01:34:14.479 metric prime four Trumer just like that looks awesome. I 2120 01:34:14.479 --> 01:34:16.399 can't wake And then yeah, like I see a chat 2121 01:34:16.439 --> 01:34:19.239 here in other places everyone else he was have anxiety 2122 01:34:19.359 --> 01:34:21.760 about it. I'm always a little thrown off, like you 2123 01:34:21.760 --> 01:34:23.720 you think that looks cool? You think that might I 2124 01:34:23.760 --> 01:34:24.279 mean bad. 2125 01:34:25.000 --> 01:34:27.199 I think a big part of it is not a 2126 01:34:27.239 --> 01:34:29.760 lot of people have actually played Metroid Prime video games. 2127 01:34:29.640 --> 01:34:30.079 And so I don't. 2128 01:34:30.319 --> 01:34:32.119 So people look at these trailers are like trying to 2129 01:34:32.119 --> 01:34:34.319 find out why does Jeff Grub bring this up on 2130 01:34:34.479 --> 01:34:37.960 every single podcast he's on, And it's like, well, I 2131 01:34:37.960 --> 01:34:40.279 really like Metroid Prime because of these reasons that aren't 2132 01:34:40.279 --> 01:34:42.439 going to be super obvious in a trailer, and so 2133 01:34:42.439 --> 01:34:44.199 people look at it and I'm like, this doesn't look like 2134 01:34:44.239 --> 01:34:47.560 the next great first person shooter, and yeah, it's not 2135 01:34:47.720 --> 01:34:48.279 trying to be that. 2136 01:34:48.520 --> 01:34:52.000 You know, yeah, shitting bridges here. I just kind of 2137 01:34:52.000 --> 01:34:55.800 want to say it name because Sonic Frontiers looking ass 2138 01:34:55.800 --> 01:34:59.399 the world, some people see concern with the motorcycle. Yeah, 2139 01:34:59.439 --> 01:35:01.880 because because the you're in a desert. Yeah, the desert 2140 01:35:02.079 --> 01:35:03.600 is a desert. 2141 01:35:03.880 --> 01:35:09.199 See the rest of the game. It's I think, yeah, 2142 01:35:09.239 --> 01:35:11.359 the other half because like what Jeff's saying is totally valid. 2143 01:35:11.359 --> 01:35:13.359 I think actually the bigger thing is people have open 2144 01:35:13.359 --> 01:35:17.399 world fatigue and something like Frontier or whatever that yeah, 2145 01:35:17.520 --> 01:35:19.880 just trying too hard to be an open world. I 2146 01:35:19.920 --> 01:35:22.760 do get that. I absolutely get that, because not everything 2147 01:35:22.760 --> 01:35:25.159 it needs to be an open World and bitch. I 2148 01:35:25.159 --> 01:35:29.279 think when Nintendo has done open world like Bowser's Fury 2149 01:35:29.439 --> 01:35:33.079 and the Zelda games recently, and I'm kind of Donkey Kong, 2150 01:35:33.640 --> 01:35:36.279 I think they just do it really well. And so yeah, 2151 01:35:36.319 --> 01:35:38.760 I just don't really have any worries about this, if 2152 01:35:38.800 --> 01:35:42.439 nothing else, because it seemed pretty obvious to me that 2153 01:35:42.560 --> 01:35:45.359 you just get from one point to the r and 2154 01:35:45.399 --> 01:35:48.039 you're fine. Then you're at the same point and we 2155 01:35:48.079 --> 01:35:48.600 can move on. 2156 01:35:49.760 --> 01:35:51.640 That's my again, my guess as well. Just looking at it, 2157 01:35:51.640 --> 01:35:53.039 we didn't see a ton but that I think that's 2158 01:35:53.079 --> 01:35:53.680 how it's gonna end. 2159 01:35:53.760 --> 01:35:55.840 Yeah, I'm sure you're just gonna unlock an elevator or 2160 01:35:55.840 --> 01:35:57.439 fast travel point anyway that you can. 2161 01:35:59.640 --> 01:36:02.199 Maybe I'll be wrong about that, but that's how kind 2162 01:36:02.239 --> 01:36:03.920 of it makes sense to me. 2163 01:36:05.479 --> 01:36:05.600 Uh. 2164 01:36:06.119 --> 01:36:08.359 The couple other big things we should talk about Fire 2165 01:36:08.399 --> 01:36:12.199 Emblem's Fortunes weaves out in twenty twenty six, whole new 2166 01:36:12.239 --> 01:36:15.600 fire Umblum game. It is. This is like they're one 2167 01:36:15.600 --> 01:36:18.720 more thing. It was a big surprise. I thought it 2168 01:36:18.760 --> 01:36:19.560 looked fantastic. 2169 01:36:19.600 --> 01:36:20.760 I think it was really good. 2170 01:36:20.840 --> 01:36:24.279 I like some Fire Emblem games a lot, some of 2171 01:36:24.279 --> 01:36:25.880 them are some like some of my favorite games. Like 2172 01:36:25.920 --> 01:36:28.840 one of my favorite three D S games is Awakening. Yes, 2173 01:36:28.960 --> 01:36:31.279 if this can match that, then that would be great. 2174 01:36:31.359 --> 01:36:34.680 I don't know if I was necessarily craving a fire emblem, 2175 01:36:34.680 --> 01:36:36.199 but seeing this, it's like, no, you know what, that 2176 01:36:36.239 --> 01:36:36.840 looks awesome. 2177 01:36:37.000 --> 01:36:39.880 I'll play. That's the way of putting it where I 2178 01:36:40.039 --> 01:36:42.640 M say. I have loved some Firewell games in the past, 2179 01:36:42.800 --> 01:36:46.399 like Awakening and like Three Houses. You know, if you 2180 01:36:46.439 --> 01:36:48.000 had asked me, like, what are some like gigs you 2181 01:36:48.039 --> 01:36:50.079 can't wait to see final show on switch Shoo, Firebom 2182 01:36:50.159 --> 01:36:51.560 would not have been high on the list. 2183 01:36:51.840 --> 01:36:53.800 I mean even from Intelligent Systems, which they might be 2184 01:36:53.840 --> 01:36:56.560 partnering with an outside studio on this whatever. But like 2185 01:36:56.640 --> 01:36:58.560 if it is, if this is Intelligent Systems, which I 2186 01:36:58.560 --> 01:37:00.319 don't think we know yet, yeah, but there's some stuff 2187 01:37:00.319 --> 01:37:01.439 from them I would want to see first. 2188 01:37:01.520 --> 01:37:01.720 Yeah. 2189 01:37:02.039 --> 01:37:03.640 Yeah, you know, seeing this, I'm like, okay, yeah, this 2190 01:37:03.800 --> 01:37:05.960 looks good. I kind of like the direction here. It 2191 01:37:06.000 --> 01:37:08.960 doesn't seem it's going too far in certain directions like 2192 01:37:09.079 --> 01:37:11.319 engage it. Maybe that's part of it is that I 2193 01:37:11.319 --> 01:37:13.840 fell off engage and engauge wasn't what I was liking, 2194 01:37:13.840 --> 01:37:15.479 and I was a little bit worried about the direction 2195 01:37:15.560 --> 01:37:18.840 of the series. You know, they're being very clear and 2196 01:37:18.880 --> 01:37:22.359 tying this more into Three Houses than with Engage, right. 2197 01:37:22.239 --> 01:37:25.119 And because they started kind of lose me with like 2198 01:37:25.159 --> 01:37:27.560 the three Houses stuff, like did Engage just go further 2199 01:37:27.680 --> 01:37:31.479 into that? Like, hey, you just talking to people or something. 2200 01:37:31.640 --> 01:37:34.239 The way that you described three Houses is how everyone 2201 01:37:34.279 --> 01:37:35.239 felt about Engage. 2202 01:37:35.279 --> 01:37:38.800 Oh okay, okay, because it's it's worse. 2203 01:37:38.920 --> 01:37:41.199 It's worse, okay, worse. 2204 01:37:41.279 --> 01:37:43.560 The problem is and this is one, uh, this is 2205 01:37:43.600 --> 01:37:44.880 one of those times where I give Mike al the 2206 01:37:44.920 --> 01:37:46.239 cred in the world. He was the right to be 2207 01:37:46.279 --> 01:37:51.640 a funny duddy about Engage. That game was aggressively anime 2208 01:37:51.960 --> 01:37:57.119 in the possible like just there is apparently such a 2209 01:37:57.159 --> 01:38:00.159 thing as too much color and his Fire Emblem Engaged. 2210 01:38:00.880 --> 01:38:04.319 Right, It's like I think someone told Nintendo anime was 2211 01:38:04.359 --> 01:38:07.279 working in Fire Emblem and they like didn't know. It's like, yeah, 2212 01:38:07.319 --> 01:38:10.119 but there's a certain kind of anime that people really 2213 01:38:10.119 --> 01:38:12.119 respond to and not just like the colorful stuff that 2214 01:38:12.119 --> 01:38:12.800 you grew up on. 2215 01:38:12.960 --> 01:38:14.119 Whoever's running Nintendo. 2216 01:38:14.399 --> 01:38:17.840 Yeah, they just steered too hard. And I like seeing 2217 01:38:17.840 --> 01:38:20.079 that this is a bit of a correction or writing 2218 01:38:20.119 --> 01:38:22.479 of the ship, because this does feel like an extension 2219 01:38:22.640 --> 01:38:27.000 of Awakening Bates and even Three Houses where does Yeah, 2220 01:38:27.039 --> 01:38:30.840 there's you know, flourishes of the animebs that you know, 2221 01:38:30.840 --> 01:38:33.039 all of us know and love. They're not going too 2222 01:38:33.159 --> 01:38:36.600 far into the It is almost more reserved on level 2223 01:38:36.640 --> 01:38:41.399 of persona versus metaphor, where persona is like bright colors 2224 01:38:41.439 --> 01:38:43.920 and everything, and then metaphor is like no, this one's 2225 01:38:43.960 --> 01:38:45.720 is the one that's a little more grounded looking. It's 2226 01:38:45.720 --> 01:38:48.039 a little more traditional fantasy. And I appreciate it. 2227 01:38:48.319 --> 01:38:50.399 I know what you're meaning. I didn't mind the Three 2228 01:38:50.399 --> 01:38:53.319 Houses level of kind of being at your base talking 2229 01:38:53.359 --> 01:38:56.960 to people, you know that when Engage did that again, 2230 01:38:57.119 --> 01:38:59.119 and in a worse way, I wouldn't mind if they 2231 01:38:59.439 --> 01:39:01.880 kind of reath thought what the end between the battle 2232 01:39:01.880 --> 01:39:04.720 stuff looked like here, it seems like we all kind 2233 01:39:04.720 --> 01:39:06.840 of got stuck in that because that was the big 2234 01:39:06.880 --> 01:39:09.000 thing with Awakening was they did such a good job 2235 01:39:09.039 --> 01:39:10.000 with that sort of thing. 2236 01:39:10.119 --> 01:39:11.880 So because it was like you go to a map screen, 2237 01:39:11.920 --> 01:39:13.840 you go to a tavern, you buy some stuff, you upgrade, 2238 01:39:13.880 --> 01:39:15.359 you do a little bit of like oh, these characters 2239 01:39:15.399 --> 01:39:18.239 are ready to talk, and you know, move the. 2240 01:39:17.640 --> 01:39:19.479 Fight next to each other for the whole last battle, right, 2241 01:39:19.720 --> 01:39:20.520 yeah together. 2242 01:39:20.960 --> 01:39:21.600 Yeah, But it. 2243 01:39:21.560 --> 01:39:23.680 Also like I felt like it was way more of 2244 01:39:23.720 --> 01:39:25.600 a chore with three houses, where it's like I would 2245 01:39:25.600 --> 01:39:27.239 do this fun battle and stuff and I'd go back 2246 01:39:27.279 --> 01:39:29.439 and it's like, all right, I gotta feel like, what 2247 01:39:29.520 --> 01:39:31.119 was it like a certain amount of points of like 2248 01:39:31.199 --> 01:39:33.439 social stuff or whatever.

So you 2287 01:41:12.159 --> 01:41:16.760 go on these time challenge runs and you upgrade stuff 2288 01:41:16.800 --> 01:41:19.800 and you get like weird upgrades or maybe not weird, 2289 01:41:19.800 --> 01:41:21.520 but you like, you can get a bunch of more 2290 01:41:21.600 --> 01:41:23.439 powerful upgrades than maybe you could in the base game 2291 01:41:23.800 --> 01:41:26.119 and have a new build of Decay and try to 2292 01:41:26.119 --> 01:41:28.159 get as far as you can. I've not played it, though, 2293 01:41:28.159 --> 01:41:29.800 so I'm not really sure how that loop's gonna work. 2294 01:41:30.199 --> 01:41:30.800 Yeah, I'm curious. 2295 01:41:30.840 --> 01:41:32.319 I mean, just the core mechanics of the game are 2296 01:41:32.319 --> 01:41:34.239 so fun that, like, you know, it's like it's a 2297 01:41:34.279 --> 01:41:35.600 new area, right, is it that? 2298 01:41:37.199 --> 01:41:37.920 Yeah? 2299 01:41:38.319 --> 01:41:41.680 Definitely, it's not very substantial far, like a new level. 2300 01:41:41.760 --> 01:41:43.319 Yeah. I'm having a hard time getting a read on 2301 01:41:43.319 --> 01:41:45.279 this because I see some people talk about how much 2302 01:41:45.279 --> 01:41:46.640 fun it is, and I see a lot of people 2303 01:41:46.880 --> 01:41:50.079 just a gas that it costs twenty dollars and maybe 2304 01:41:50.119 --> 01:41:51.920 it's not worth that. I think there's a lot of. 2305 01:41:51.920 --> 01:41:55.000 People who are just like anything Roguelike is, they have 2306 01:41:55.119 --> 01:41:57.600 no interest whatsoever, and like, that's not even a real 2307 01:41:57.720 --> 01:41:59.319 video game, so get it out of my face. 2308 01:41:59.359 --> 01:42:01.960 I would go that, but that's why I'm looking like 2309 01:42:02.279 --> 01:42:05.399 I usually don't like roguelakes, So twenty dollars to share 2310 01:42:05.520 --> 01:42:08.000 play more DK Bonanza, which I love, but play a 2311 01:42:08.039 --> 01:42:11.359 mode that I don't like. I'm probably gonna pass, right. 2312 01:42:11.319 --> 01:42:13.479 How much of an excuse. Do you really need not 2313 01:42:13.520 --> 01:42:14.560 to get DLC For me? 2314 01:42:14.600 --> 01:42:17.119 It's like one little thing exact, and I'm like, I 2315 01:42:17.119 --> 01:42:19.840 don't need that DLC. I'm good, right, I'm even Breath 2316 01:42:19.880 --> 01:42:21.439 of the Wild, which you know I love that game. 2317 01:42:21.479 --> 01:42:24.800 I think it's DLC, know it either? Yeah, whatever I did, 2318 01:42:24.880 --> 01:42:25.279 I'm good. 2319 01:42:25.520 --> 01:42:28.760 The motorcycles really cool to ride around on. But I'll 2320 01:42:28.800 --> 01:42:30.319 say that that DLC was not worth it. 2321 01:42:30.640 --> 01:42:32.199 Yeah, I was gonna do that because you know, I've 2322 01:42:32.239 --> 01:42:34.239 been playing through well, you know, before all these games 2323 01:42:34.279 --> 01:42:36.279 came out. I got through three of the Four Divine 2324 01:42:36.279 --> 01:42:38.279 Beasts and Breadth the Wild, and oh, this would be great. 2325 01:42:38.279 --> 01:42:39.439 You know, I've got the DLC. This would be a 2326 01:42:39.439 --> 01:42:41.359 great excuse to finally get that motorcycle and play through 2327 01:42:41.359 --> 01:42:42.920 this whole run with that. And it's like, no, you 2328 01:42:42.920 --> 01:42:44.600 have to do all four Divine Beasts before you get 2329 01:42:44.640 --> 01:42:47.800 that here. Well, so much like, okay, I guess I 2330 01:42:47.840 --> 01:42:49.880 can go find some more shrines with it or whatever it. 2331 01:42:49.800 --> 01:42:51.720 Was postgame DLC, So I guess that makes sense. 2332 01:42:52.239 --> 01:42:54.880 Sure, sure, all right? 2333 01:42:55.079 --> 01:42:59.399 Super Mario Galaxy and Galaxy two Bundle seventy dollars for 2334 01:42:59.520 --> 01:43:02.239 both games forty dollars if you want to buy them individually. 2335 01:43:02.800 --> 01:43:06.760 There's some upgrades here though. It's gonna be on both 2336 01:43:06.760 --> 01:43:09.319 Switch one and Switch to, but the Switch to version 2337 01:43:09.319 --> 01:43:12.840 will run in four K, and they are like full screen, 2338 01:43:13.000 --> 01:43:15.279 like they're doing a sixteen by nine format. They are 2339 01:43:15.640 --> 01:43:17.159 improving the resolution. 2340 01:43:17.000 --> 01:43:17.960 And the textures. 2341 01:43:18.199 --> 01:43:20.640 It looks like it's more significant upgrade than the Super 2342 01:43:20.640 --> 01:43:23.760 Mario three D All Stars version of Super Mario Galaxy. 2343 01:43:23.800 --> 01:43:26.960 Wait, did get the Galaxy was sixteen nine?

So it's good to see this. 2462 01:48:54.000 --> 01:48:57.600 But yeah, it was weird frequent because they first showed 2463 01:48:57.640 --> 01:48:59.239 it and it was just like a pitch. I'm like, oh, 2464 01:48:59.600 --> 01:49:01.439 that does look much worse than it was in motion. 2465 01:49:01.680 --> 01:49:03.479 I was like, it looks pretty good really for what 2466 01:49:03.560 --> 01:49:06.439 you could reasonably expect for a switch to game right. 2467 01:49:06.439 --> 01:49:08.560 And honestly, that's that is where like DLSS kind of 2468 01:49:08.600 --> 01:49:12.720 shines is making those games look right in motion, all right. 2469 01:49:13.000 --> 01:49:17.319 Pokemon Legends z A Mega Dimensions DLC already announced that 2470 01:49:17.720 --> 01:49:20.640 I could not parse this in the moment, but Sean like, 2471 01:49:20.720 --> 01:49:23.640 this is just the expected DLC that always happens with 2472 01:49:23.680 --> 01:49:24.600 Pokemon games. 2473 01:49:24.479 --> 01:49:26.479 Right, Yeah, this is them sort of getting ahead of 2474 01:49:26.520 --> 01:49:30.039 it where they they do DLC expansions for all the 2475 01:49:30.039 --> 01:49:33.199 mainline games nowadays instead of the third version, and this 2476 01:49:33.279 --> 01:49:36.279 is them saying, hey, z A, we're treating this like 2477 01:49:36.319 --> 01:49:39.520 a mainline game. It's awesome, and that you know that 2478 01:49:39.720 --> 01:49:43.479 post release expansion for thirty bucks or whatever, you'll be 2479 01:49:43.520 --> 01:49:45.359 able to get a bunch, you know, a bunch of 2480 01:49:45.359 --> 01:49:49.159 items legendary Pokemon, where the case may be probably get 2481 01:49:49.199 --> 01:49:51.399 be overpriced for what you get, but that is what 2482 01:49:51.439 --> 01:49:53.840 it is at this point. The only like weird thing 2483 01:49:53.880 --> 01:49:56.039 is that they are announcing it before the games even out. 2484 01:49:56.399 --> 01:49:58.960 I didn't think about it a little bit, and I 2485 01:49:58.960 --> 01:50:02.840 think it's just because that DLC could be out before 2486 01:50:02.920 --> 01:50:06.079 the next Pokemon presents and they only announced stuff like 2487 01:50:06.119 --> 01:50:09.960 this in the major presentations. So interesting. Yeah, I just 2488 01:50:10.199 --> 01:50:12.880 I'm not surprised if it's just going to be like 2489 01:50:12.880 --> 01:50:15.439 a January thing or something and they're now seeing now 2490 01:50:15.600 --> 01:50:17.560 because this they don't know what the next Intelent Directs 2491 01:50:17.520 --> 01:50:19.840 is going to be, so they're putting it here. But yeah, 2492 01:50:19.920 --> 01:50:23.279 it's they're also just used as a marketing beat because hey, 2493 01:50:24.039 --> 01:50:26.800 older people Mega Rychu is here. Don't you want to 2494 01:50:26.840 --> 01:50:29.199 spend an additional thirty dollars on this game? And they'll 2495 01:50:29.199 --> 01:50:30.399 absolutely get some people at that. 2496 01:50:30.680 --> 01:50:31.159 Sure. 2497 01:50:33.000 --> 01:50:36.760 Mario Tennis Fever coming out February twelveth, featuring thirty eight characters. 2498 01:50:37.199 --> 01:50:40.119 This is the one that had Baby Waluigi and Mario 2499 01:50:40.199 --> 01:50:40.560 in it. 2500 01:50:40.560 --> 01:50:43.520 It's appropriate because Waaluigi made his debut in Mario Tennis 2501 01:50:43.520 --> 01:50:44.000 sixty four. 2502 01:50:44.840 --> 01:50:48.159 That's true. This looks really good. I mean, yeah, you know, 2503 01:50:48.199 --> 01:50:51.119 I agree, Yeah, certainly as good as I thought these looked. 2504 01:50:51.119 --> 01:50:53.199 Since I accept it, we're never going to get like 2505 01:50:53.279 --> 01:50:59.159 the Mario Tennis Advance single player RPG stuff, this access 2506 01:51:00.079 --> 01:51:02.680 true mode of some kind. I'm just really in the 2507 01:51:02.720 --> 01:51:05.960 mood for some kind of tennis game, especially after playing 2508 01:51:06.000 --> 01:51:08.399 Virtual A Tennis for that Dreamcast stream and having so 2509 01:51:08.479 --> 01:51:09.239 much fun with that. 2510 01:51:10.359 --> 01:51:13.000 I agree that it looked good, but I am gonna 2511 01:51:13.239 --> 01:51:15.680 like to tell myself, I'm no longer gonna let myself 2512 01:51:15.680 --> 01:51:17.840 get excited for the same intromde in these sports games. 2513 01:51:17.880 --> 01:51:20.640 Yes, I think the the Nintendo sports games occupy the 2514 01:51:20.680 --> 01:51:22.880 same face. I had a Star Fox now where it's 2515 01:51:22.920 --> 01:51:25.119 like there's that thing where it's they announced one and 2516 01:51:25.159 --> 01:51:26.840 it's like this has been it's been a while since 2517 01:51:26.880 --> 01:51:29.279 the Star Fox, but everyone since sixty four I've been 2518 01:51:29.319 --> 01:51:31.920 excited about and every fucking time it's like, you know, 2519 01:51:31.920 --> 01:51:34.359 fool me six times, you know, shame on me. But 2520 01:51:34.359 --> 01:51:36.039 I'm not gonna be fooled to get him a Starbocks 2521 01:51:36.399 --> 01:51:39.279 or the latest Nintendo's sports games, because they've been very disappointing. 2522 01:51:40.600 --> 01:51:42.119 This as Sean face, what's going on here? 2523 01:51:42.359 --> 01:51:44.800 I mean, not Omar is good as star Fox sixty four, 2524 01:51:44.840 --> 01:51:45.479 but they're all good. 2525 01:51:46.199 --> 01:51:49.479 Starbucks is a star fucks defender, and I admire that 2526 01:51:49.560 --> 01:51:50.079 about him. 2527 01:51:51.800 --> 01:51:55.479 A mistake like the Command was a bad game, but 2528 01:51:55.560 --> 01:51:57.279 I will defend Assault and Zero. 2529 01:51:57.359 --> 01:52:00.600 I'm I do kind of like Zero and that is 2530 01:52:00.640 --> 01:52:02.119 a brilliant game, Platinum. 2531 01:52:02.960 --> 01:52:05.840 They're not train wrecks. But I just think compared to 2532 01:52:06.199 --> 01:52:07.600 S and E s and sixty four, right. 2533 01:52:07.560 --> 01:52:11.399 I know, you're not ever the Star Fox sixty four 2534 01:52:11.439 --> 01:52:14.239 to two that people wanted for sure, Yeah, I get 2535 01:52:14.319 --> 01:52:16.159 yeah uh again. 2536 01:52:16.199 --> 01:52:19.279 If Mario Tennis Fever delivers fun multiplayer and online, I'll 2537 01:52:19.279 --> 01:52:21.680 be happy. But even the recent Mario sports games have 2538 01:52:21.760 --> 01:52:24.319 messed that up sometimes. So we'll see not the not 2539 01:52:24.359 --> 01:52:27.439 the not the like uh had had multiplayer stuff but 2540 01:52:27.479 --> 01:52:30.119 like the online stuff, but to have online tournaments. 2541 01:52:30.239 --> 01:52:32.199 It did the same stuff like the later Soul Calibers did, 2542 01:52:32.199 --> 01:52:34.720 where it's like, we don't need this unskippable animation every 2543 01:52:34.720 --> 01:52:37.640 time like an ultra tennis hit or whatever happens. You know, 2544 01:52:37.680 --> 01:52:39.399 it's fun the first time seeing Walla. We do a 2545 01:52:39.399 --> 01:52:41.039 little dance and throw a rose up in the air 2546 01:52:41.119 --> 01:52:45.640 or whatever, but like, wow, yeah, yeah, exactly throw up. 2547 01:52:45.640 --> 01:52:47.119 I do have a small bit of hope for the 2548 01:52:47.119 --> 01:52:51.760 adventure mode because I did see uh it's very brief 2549 01:52:51.800 --> 01:52:53.600 in the trailer, but they are running around like the 2550 01:52:53.680 --> 01:52:57.439 clubhouse from the Game Boy Color and Advanced Games. I'm like, real, 2551 01:52:58.720 --> 01:53:01.479 like that little more in depth than we think. But also, yeah, 2552 01:53:01.560 --> 01:53:02.760 let's I'm with you. 2553 01:53:03.239 --> 01:53:06.560 That's what like triggered, Like they're trying to get me. 2554 01:53:06.640 --> 01:53:08.600 Yeah, it is kind of how I felt. So I'm like, 2555 01:53:08.600 --> 01:53:10.399 all right, I'm gonna hold off. We'll see. 2556 01:53:10.960 --> 01:53:12.680 All right, let's hit the rest of these Super Mario 2557 01:53:12.760 --> 01:53:15.439 Wonder Switch to edition plus bella Bell Park meet up 2558 01:53:15.800 --> 01:53:18.640 that is going to be some multiplayer challenging challenges. They 2559 01:53:18.680 --> 01:53:20.840 also had a talking flower toy, the flower from that 2560 01:53:20.880 --> 01:53:23.720 game or stilling a toy of that, apparently Bella Bell Park. 2561 01:53:24.079 --> 01:53:27.640 The DLC will also have new single player single single 2562 01:53:27.680 --> 01:53:29.840 player levels, but they focused on the multiplayer stuff in 2563 01:53:29.880 --> 01:53:30.359 the Cameler. 2564 01:53:30.560 --> 01:53:32.680 Yeah, it's just because like the vibe I was getting 2565 01:53:32.720 --> 01:53:34.359 from that, it's like this is kind of more multiplayer 2566 01:53:34.399 --> 01:53:36.920 hang up stuff. I mean, even the the title here 2567 01:53:37.199 --> 01:53:40.720 right of Bell Bell Park meet up, it doesn't that 2568 01:53:40.720 --> 01:53:44.239 doesn't scream extra challenge levels, which is kind of what 2569 01:53:44.319 --> 01:53:46.199 I would want from DLC. Well, I'm not. 2570 01:53:46.560 --> 01:53:49.199 Yeah, I'm not expecting them to be the challenge levels, 2571 01:53:49.199 --> 01:53:51.600 the very high difficulty levels that we were hoping for. 2572 01:53:51.760 --> 01:53:54.079 But I'll take more levels. And I really like. 2573 01:53:54.039 --> 01:53:56.119 The multiplayer stuff in Wonder, so it'll be fun. 2574 01:53:56.560 --> 01:53:57.439 I bet it'll be fine. 2575 01:53:57.560 --> 01:53:59.840 I'm going to get that flower thing and figure out 2576 01:53:59.840 --> 01:54:01.479 how make it work with like a chat g BT, 2577 01:54:01.880 --> 01:54:04.439 and then I'm going to go get the weirdest like 2578 01:54:04.520 --> 01:54:07.520 AI Psychosis story there is, and like I just talked 2579 01:54:07.520 --> 01:54:08.760 to the flower until I lose my mind. 2580 01:54:09.119 --> 01:54:09.399 Yeah. 2581 01:54:09.439 --> 01:54:11.680 I think they said it's not interactable, so it probably 2582 01:54:11.760 --> 01:54:12.960 doesn't have a microphone. 2583 01:54:12.960 --> 01:54:14.399 But that doesn't we can figure out, we can. 2584 01:54:14.359 --> 01:54:15.960 Change this, we can figure out people. 2585 01:54:16.000 --> 01:54:17.399 Yeah. 2586 01:54:16.600 --> 01:54:20.399 Uh all right, Pokemon Pocopeia is that I don't want 2587 01:54:20.399 --> 01:54:24.760 to say that.

They didn't love. 2610 01:55:21.319 --> 01:55:24.600 Those another game for kids. Zoom that it's a problem 2611 01:55:24.680 --> 01:55:25.199 happening here. 2612 01:55:25.439 --> 01:55:27.199 We should government involved. 2613 01:55:27.279 --> 01:55:30.079 Yeah, yeah, what's one of these the Tendo games for children? 2614 01:55:31.399 --> 01:55:33.600 Finally their way. 2615 01:55:36.399 --> 01:55:39.920 Final Fantasy seven remake Integrate is out January twenty six 2616 01:55:40.239 --> 01:55:43.720 or twenty second. I should say, yeah, it looked awesome. 2617 01:55:43.720 --> 01:55:45.800 It switched to and obviously it's coming to Xbox as well. 2618 01:55:45.800 --> 01:55:46.680 That same day. 2619 01:55:47.760 --> 01:55:50.760 They also confirmed later that all of the Final Fantasy 2620 01:55:50.800 --> 01:55:53.880 seven trilogy will be on switching Xbox in the future, 2621 01:55:54.159 --> 01:55:56.359 making it sound very much like that third version will 2622 01:55:56.399 --> 01:55:58.159 launch everywhere, which I think we're expecting. 2623 01:55:58.199 --> 01:56:01.079 I did not get that from because they did just 2624 01:56:01.119 --> 01:56:03.840 say they will be on those platforms. 2625 01:56:04.399 --> 01:56:07.920 I'm combining that with what the executives have said at 2626 01:56:07.920 --> 01:56:10.560 previous investor calls over the last like two or three meetings, 2627 01:56:10.760 --> 01:56:13.079 where when this stuff comes up, they're like, look, the 2628 01:56:13.239 --> 01:56:16.439 the goal now is get these games everywhere right away. 2629 01:56:17.199 --> 01:56:19.359 But you're right, there could still be some reason where 2630 01:56:19.399 --> 01:56:21.239 that why that doesn't happen. It will be because you know, 2631 01:56:21.359 --> 01:56:24.319 remake looks very good switch to. I do wonder what 2632 01:56:24.439 --> 01:56:26.760 Rebirth will look like. That is a much that's a 2633 01:56:26.800 --> 01:56:27.359 bigger game. 2634 01:56:27.399 --> 01:56:30.000 It's open world and the game that people complained how 2635 01:56:30.000 --> 01:56:34.960 it looks on a PlayStation five, So that'll be curious. 2636 01:56:35.640 --> 01:56:38.560 All right, let's see here, Dragon Quest seven reimagined. This 2637 01:56:38.720 --> 01:56:42.319 is real another seven game. It has an incredible look 2638 01:56:42.359 --> 01:56:45.359 to it. It looks really nice. It is that Toriyama 2639 01:56:45.439 --> 01:56:49.000 art and three D that's out February fifth. Uh, Monster 2640 01:56:49.079 --> 01:56:51.479 Hunter Stories three Twisted reflection, you know, real quick? On 2641 01:56:51.520 --> 01:56:53.399 Dragon Quest seven, they said that they were going to 2642 01:56:53.439 --> 01:56:56.039 make it pacier. They're going to make it more facier. 2643 01:56:56.560 --> 01:56:58.960 It's a game that needs to be pacier. 2644 01:56:59.000 --> 01:57:01.600 I played the three D s version, which was more 2645 01:57:01.920 --> 01:57:05.760 more pacier than the original PlayStation one version. Even then, 2646 01:57:06.159 --> 01:57:09.279 I think that game is good. It is a slog 2647 01:57:09.319 --> 01:57:12.159 and that's somebody who is used to j r PG 2648 01:57:12.880 --> 01:57:17.279 pacing DrAk qust seven is just it's built different and 2649 01:57:17.319 --> 01:57:20.039 it could probably use a little bit of more peacierness. 2650 01:57:20.079 --> 01:57:24.279 Now that's also kind of part of like, is that 2651 01:57:24.359 --> 01:57:25.880 kind of a part of the soup, you know a 2652 01:57:26.000 --> 01:57:28.640 Dragon West seven is that it is that game. We 2653 01:57:28.680 --> 01:57:31.399 lose something if we do too much there? Probably not, 2654 01:57:31.640 --> 01:57:33.800 but I am curious to see exactly what they do 2655 01:57:33.920 --> 01:57:34.880 with this remake. 2656 01:57:35.279 --> 01:57:36.920 I might try it out if they took some pointers 2657 01:57:36.920 --> 01:57:39.000 from east a Lacermoso of Dana. 2658 01:57:39.640 --> 01:57:42.119 Oh, I would love to see you play the PlayStation 2659 01:57:42.399 --> 01:57:48.479 one version of Dragon Quest seven. Try it. He should 2660 01:57:48.479 --> 01:57:50.319 be more pure, you know, you want to get the 2661 01:57:50.319 --> 01:57:52.640 original attention of the developers. 2662 01:57:53.439 --> 01:57:59.600 If they make it better. Yeah, if it was Dana, Dana. 2663 01:57:59.479 --> 01:58:01.399 Thank you. Yeah, I had to talk to an expert 2664 01:58:01.439 --> 01:58:01.760 real quick. 2665 01:58:01.800 --> 01:58:06.239 Sorry, guys. Yes, Star to Valley, switch to edition and 2666 01:58:06.279 --> 01:58:09.520 then Overcoick Overcook two switch to edition, Dog and ropa 2667 01:58:09.800 --> 01:58:12.399 Dogan rom excuse me, two by two. It's a remake 2668 01:58:12.439 --> 01:58:14.960 of two, but it has a whole new storyline through it, 2669 01:58:14.960 --> 01:58:16.199 so people are saying it's kind of like a whole 2670 01:58:16.199 --> 01:58:19.159 new game. Some ways, sweak a Game Planet, which I'm 2671 01:58:19.159 --> 01:58:22.520 saying is the Tetriser version of Sweak a Game.

Metroid so Mario stuff 2703 01:59:34.000 --> 01:59:35.359 and a twenty twenty six game with. 2704 01:59:35.359 --> 01:59:36.039 The fire emblem. 2705 01:59:36.119 --> 01:59:38.560 Yeah, so if they're doing exactly what I want, I 2706 01:59:38.640 --> 01:59:40.079 kind of have to say, yeah, that's good enough for me. 2707 01:59:40.159 --> 01:59:41.920 You get it like you ace that one.

Yeah. The A's that big thing 2716 02:00:00.840 --> 02:00:03.960 for next year. Yeah, I thought it was good. Yeah, 2717 02:00:04.319 --> 02:00:05.720 all right, let's hit the rest of this news. 2718 02:00:05.800 --> 02:00:09.319 Nintendo now has a US patent on summoning characters and 2719 02:00:09.359 --> 02:00:10.000 making them. 2720 02:00:09.920 --> 02:00:10.760 Battle for you. 2721 02:00:11.279 --> 02:00:15.640 Basically, they're patenting Pokemon like somebody in a Pokemon and 2722 02:00:15.680 --> 02:00:18.359 it's almost certainly this is a way for them to 2723 02:00:18.640 --> 02:00:21.239 guard against stuff like Powe World in the future or 2724 02:00:21.279 --> 02:00:24.520 go after them more doggedly. People are mad about this, 2725 02:00:24.560 --> 02:00:27.800 big mad about it because people remember summoning things in 2726 02:00:27.920 --> 02:00:30.960 video games for a very long time now. Patents are 2727 02:00:31.039 --> 02:00:34.960 very specific. Also, it's very likely that this one is 2728 02:00:35.359 --> 02:00:37.119 going to be proved to be invalid if they ever 2729 02:00:37.199 --> 02:00:39.960 try to enforce it, because the people would be like 2730 02:00:40.039 --> 02:00:42.319 be able to show here's something very similar in a 2731 02:00:42.359 --> 02:00:45.680 game from fifteen years before Nintendo tried to file this patent, 2732 02:00:45.800 --> 02:00:47.560 or from the game that they're referencing. 2733 02:00:47.239 --> 02:00:51.119 From Dragon Qluss five, the game that inspired Pokemon. Yep, 2734 02:00:51.439 --> 02:00:54.520 right now, is it not to dissuade basically? 2735 02:00:54.640 --> 02:00:56.680 Is it the patent situation? Is it basically just still 2736 02:00:56.720 --> 02:00:58.359 like scare people into qurana? 2737 02:00:58.520 --> 02:00:58.600 Yes? 2738 02:00:58.680 --> 02:01:02.079 Yeah, is tool that the lawyers can use to either 2739 02:01:02.119 --> 02:01:05.239 go after people who do try to like rub up 2740 02:01:05.239 --> 02:01:07.520 against being more like Pokemon, like a power World situation, 2741 02:01:08.119 --> 02:01:10.439 or it has a chilling effect where people are just 2742 02:01:10.479 --> 02:01:12.239 going to be afraid to make this kind of game 2743 02:01:12.479 --> 02:01:16.000 because they don't want to anger Nintendo, who loves to litigate. 2744 02:01:16.319 --> 02:01:20.079 So yeah, it's but people do what kind of are 2745 02:01:20.119 --> 02:01:21.279 like that. This is where a lot of the Christians 2746 02:01:21.319 --> 02:01:23.800 coming from. People are afraid of that happening, and like 2747 02:01:23.880 --> 02:01:26.239 Nintendo should not have the power to scare people off 2748 02:01:26.239 --> 02:01:28.439 from making certain kinds of games. And they're right, this 2749 02:01:28.479 --> 02:01:31.760 is not normal behavior for how this industry is operated 2750 02:01:31.800 --> 02:01:34.520 for years and years, it's like Nintendo. You are on 2751 02:01:34.600 --> 02:01:36.319 top of the world. Why do you also have to 2752 02:01:36.319 --> 02:01:37.880 be a patent troll on top of that. 2753 02:01:37.960 --> 02:01:39.920 It's a bad look for the company. Yeah, for sure, 2754 02:01:39.960 --> 02:01:41.479 this is the pay they care about that. 2755 02:01:41.680 --> 02:01:42.920 I mean, you look at the way they dealt with 2756 02:01:42.920 --> 02:01:45.279 like emulation and stuff like that, and like maybe I 2757 02:01:45.319 --> 02:01:47.359 don't think they care about the optics of the legals. 2758 02:01:47.399 --> 02:01:47.760 They do not. 2759 02:01:47.880 --> 02:01:50.279 Now, this is the wrong way to go about what 2760 02:01:50.319 --> 02:01:53.880 they were doing too, because like Jeff, you might talked 2761 02:01:53.880 --> 02:01:58.000 about on Game US Moorings, where clearly Power World did 2762 02:01:58.039 --> 02:01:59.880 some stuff that they should not have and just like 2763 02:02:00.159 --> 02:02:03.399 be some designs and stuff like that. But it was 2764 02:02:03.479 --> 02:02:07.039 just like a long train of Nintendo presumably thinking that 2765 02:02:07.039 --> 02:02:09.239 that wouldn't hold up in court or whatever. So they're 2766 02:02:09.279 --> 02:02:12.159 doing everything in their power to bury them and everyone 2767 02:02:12.199 --> 02:02:15.159 else making games similar to it along with them. That 2768 02:02:15.239 --> 02:02:18.560 just sucks. Man, Come on, if you're going to go 2769 02:02:18.600 --> 02:02:22.079 after them for copyright infringement, do that, don't like make 2770 02:02:22.119 --> 02:02:22.960 everyone else suffer. 2771 02:02:23.079 --> 02:02:26.560 This sucks And it's worth pointing outcause I've seen this 2772 02:02:26.640 --> 02:02:28.920 a bunch like it sounds like this patent would not 2773 02:02:29.000 --> 02:02:31.640 be able to stop Final Fantasy from having summons and 2774 02:02:31.680 --> 02:02:35.159 stuff like that. The wording of this patent very much 2775 02:02:35.199 --> 02:02:38.760 applies to a Pokemon style summoning a character into the 2776 02:02:38.760 --> 02:02:40.600 same three D space that you're walking around. 2777 02:02:40.680 --> 02:02:43.640 Yes, but that is how Summon's work in the remake trilogy. 2778 02:02:43.720 --> 02:02:46.279 Now, yeah, and you're right too. 2779 02:02:46.399 --> 02:02:49.800 But at the same time, it's like Nintendo's not going 2780 02:02:49.840 --> 02:02:51.399 to go after their partners. This is going to be 2781 02:02:51.520 --> 02:02:54.680 just for those little companies that come out of nowhere, 2782 02:02:54.720 --> 02:02:58.279 which is so kind of worse in a lot very well, yes, yep, 2783 02:02:58.399 --> 02:03:01.560 and Nintendo's probably going to have to answer to this one. 2784 02:03:01.680 --> 02:03:03.760 I think someone will try to challenge this one and 2785 02:03:03.800 --> 02:03:04.520 do something about it. 2786 02:03:04.600 --> 02:03:05.199 We'll see. 2787 02:03:06.000 --> 02:03:09.319 Insomniac's Wolverine is reportedly coming next year, followed by a 2788 02:03:09.439 --> 02:03:14.039 Venom spinoff. This is a rumor going around from MP first. 2789 02:03:13.800 --> 02:03:15.520 What's the first play place to report this. 2790 02:03:16.600 --> 02:03:18.119 And they think it's going to be at that state 2791 02:03:18.159 --> 02:03:19.920 of place that is likely going to happen at the 2792 02:03:20.000 --> 02:03:21.399 end of this month or around the end of this month, 2793 02:03:21.399 --> 02:03:23.600 which is what I've heard about as well, and I've 2794 02:03:23.640 --> 02:03:25.520 been asking about Wolverine. It definitely sounds like it's a 2795 02:03:25.520 --> 02:03:27.399 game they want to get out in twenty twenty six, 2796 02:03:27.640 --> 02:03:29.520 whether or not they're ready to show something is sort 2797 02:03:29.560 --> 02:03:32.039 of unrelated to that timing, because it's like, do they 2798 02:03:32.520 --> 02:03:36.399 have something ready to show? Sounds like they might. We're 2799 02:03:36.560 --> 02:03:38.960 about due to hear more about Wolverine, right. 2800 02:03:38.840 --> 02:03:41.640 What's next for Insomniac. Yeah, it's been a good while 2801 02:03:41.680 --> 02:03:45.000 since that first reveal of it, which we're in this 2802 02:03:45.079 --> 02:03:46.880 kind of this weird pier right now where for so 2803 02:03:47.039 --> 02:03:49.159 long we did get games announced years and years before 2804 02:03:49.199 --> 02:03:51.880 they come out, and it seems like we are finally 2805 02:03:51.920 --> 02:03:54.520 starting to break away from that. So many people don't 2806 02:03:54.520 --> 02:03:57.159 want to announce their games until it's you know, going 2807 02:03:57.239 --> 02:04:01.000 to be a year out, maybe two years, especially about 2808 02:04:01.000 --> 02:04:03.520 Microsoft feeling that since they seem to be canceling most 2809 02:04:03.560 --> 02:04:06.479 of the games that they announced these days. Yeah, should 2810 02:04:06.479 --> 02:04:08.720 be time for Wolverine. Last time we heard about was 2811 02:04:08.720 --> 02:04:10.600 because of that leak. Yep. 2812 02:04:11.239 --> 02:04:13.079 In that leak is where we also got kind of 2813 02:04:13.079 --> 02:04:16.439 a confirmation that at least at one point Insomniac was 2814 02:04:16.439 --> 02:04:20.039 working on a Venom game. Then it was like, oh, yeah, well, 2815 02:04:20.119 --> 02:04:23.279 clearly they've had Venom in Spider Man two. They'll probably 2816 02:04:23.319 --> 02:04:24.720 just do what they did with Miles Morales and get 2817 02:04:24.760 --> 02:04:27.079 a follow up out really fast. Based on what they 2818 02:04:27.199 --> 02:04:31.119 tested out in that original game and that did not manifest. 2819 02:04:31.159 --> 02:04:34.119 We haven't heard anything about Venom now. It sounds like, yeah, no, 2820 02:04:34.239 --> 02:04:37.319 Venom is still happening. They just moved things around and 2821 02:04:37.399 --> 02:04:39.880 instead they're going to try to get Wolverine out first 2822 02:04:40.479 --> 02:04:41.359 and then Venom. 2823 02:04:41.079 --> 02:04:41.680 Will come later. 2824 02:04:41.760 --> 02:04:45.039 I think at least Wolverine late twenty twenty six sounds 2825 02:04:45.039 --> 02:04:46.840 about right to me, although who knows what people are 2826 02:04:46.840 --> 02:04:48.960 going to do when they're still worried that GTA could 2827 02:04:48.960 --> 02:04:50.319 slip into the holiday. 2828 02:04:50.039 --> 02:04:52.800 I mean, why wouldn't you make that Venom game. Miles 2829 02:04:52.840 --> 02:04:56.079 Morales is a giant seller. I think Mattlescatowa did a 2830 02:04:56.159 --> 02:04:59.079 uss the best selling PlayStation games ever. Yeah, like the 2831 02:04:59.079 --> 02:05:01.720 Spider Mans are on there, so is Miles Morales. You 2832 02:05:01.760 --> 02:05:04.279 did create this mooseet for Venom that you can, you know, 2833 02:05:04.760 --> 02:05:07.359 use as a starting off point, a jumping point in here. 2834 02:05:07.800 --> 02:05:09.600 It's like a good way to do because you know, 2835 02:05:09.640 --> 02:05:11.520 you can get away with things like using the map 2836 02:05:11.560 --> 02:05:13.920 again and whatnot, because it's like, yeah, but now you're Venom. 2837 02:05:13.960 --> 02:05:17.479 That's the big sales pitch here. Absolutely that should happen. 2838 02:05:18.640 --> 02:05:22.079 Fortnite's getting K Pop Demon Hunter crossovers. 2839 02:05:22.119 --> 02:05:23.720 Like apparently, at least this is a report. 2840 02:05:23.800 --> 02:05:26.640 At least this is like the least surprising thing in 2841 02:05:26.640 --> 02:05:28.399 the world. As soon as that like popped off, it's like, 2842 02:05:28.439 --> 02:05:30.000 that'll be in Fortnite by the end of the year. 2843 02:05:30.359 --> 02:05:32.359 It sounds like something. Yeah, it sounds like that'll be 2844 02:05:32.399 --> 02:05:35.319 exactly what happens. I like K Pop Demon Hunters, So yeah, 2845 02:05:35.520 --> 02:05:37.399 the kids will be excited about that. Although do I 2846 02:05:37.439 --> 02:05:39.399 want my kids to get into the Fortnite train, I 2847 02:05:39.439 --> 02:05:39.800 don't know. 2848 02:05:39.920 --> 02:05:43.920 Oh, it'll happen. I know it'll happen. A lot of 2849 02:05:44.760 --> 02:05:46.279 are already. You know, they're big into it. 2850 02:05:47.560 --> 02:05:49.640 And then the headline here is what is you do 2851 02:05:49.760 --> 02:05:54.199 in Randy Randy Pichford of Gearbox is addressing performance complaints 2852 02:05:54.199 --> 02:05:58.600 about the PC versions of Borderlands for suggesting disprinkled players 2853 02:05:58.640 --> 02:06:01.000 can get a Steam refund and he's just telling you, like, 2854 02:06:01.439 --> 02:06:03.439 stop complaining to me and go get your money back. 2855 02:06:03.720 --> 02:06:07.119 Since the game's launched, Pittford has has made confusing comments 2856 02:06:07.159 --> 02:06:11.079 about the console fov slider, dismissed server issues, and told 2857 02:06:11.119 --> 02:06:17.720 players to code your own engine. He's also yeah, right, exactly. 2858 02:06:17.960 --> 02:06:21.039 He's also called Borderlands for a premium game made for 2859 02:06:21.159 --> 02:06:25.960 premium gamers. Digital Foundery has noted significant stuttering, especially on 2860 02:06:26.399 --> 02:06:29.359 badass settings, which is something they put into their video 2861 02:06:29.399 --> 02:06:32.720 game picture. It continues to tweet offering advice on optimizing 2862 02:06:32.760 --> 02:06:35.720 the game and advocating for graphic text like DLSS, being like, 2863 02:06:35.760 --> 02:06:38.359 that's great, we built it for DLSS, which people do 2864 02:06:38.399 --> 02:06:41.359 not like to hear and don't like, Oh, you're relying 2865 02:06:41.399 --> 02:06:41.720 on deal. 2866 02:06:41.880 --> 02:06:44.479 Yeah. Yeah, they should build your You should build your 2867 02:06:44.479 --> 02:06:49.439 games for platforms that actually exist. Right. Your target platform 2868 02:06:49.640 --> 02:06:52.960 should not be barely a thing, right, like your target 2869 02:06:52.960 --> 02:06:56.239 platform is killed on by pro or the single best 2870 02:06:56.279 --> 02:07:00.800 graphics card ever. Your target audience is like one percent 2871 02:07:01.079 --> 02:07:03.399 or something insane like that, what are people doing? 2872 02:07:03.640 --> 02:07:06.159 But then saying, oh, premium game for premium gamers, like 2873 02:07:06.159 --> 02:07:07.399 it has to you have to be this like top 2874 02:07:07.399 --> 02:07:10.159 of the line hard. The Borderlands is extremely accessible and 2875 02:07:10.199 --> 02:07:14.199 a ton of people who games really like Borderlands. Like, 2876 02:07:16.159 --> 02:07:18.680 I'm just he's one of those guys. I'm just glad 2877 02:07:18.760 --> 02:07:20.720 exists in this industry, not because it's like, oh, I 2878 02:07:20.720 --> 02:07:23.039 think he's doing great stuff, just that it's fucking funny. 2879 02:07:23.479 --> 02:07:27.720 Just every fucking time Battle Born or something comes out 2880 02:07:27.840 --> 02:07:29.960 or something, he just says some dumb shit, and it's 2881 02:07:30.000 --> 02:07:34.159 just hilarious to watch it all play out. Yeah, hey, 2882 02:07:34.199 --> 02:07:35.479 it's it's a Randy games. 2883 02:07:36.000 --> 02:07:38.640 It's really funny that we've gone from Borderlands to getting 2884 02:07:38.720 --> 02:07:42.399 a mediocre Vito Port to now it's like, oh, a 2885 02:07:42.640 --> 02:07:45.920 fifty ninety will run this game at seventy fps. 2886 02:07:46.119 --> 02:07:50.199 That's not good, dude, No, that's like, yeah exactly, Like 2887 02:07:50.239 --> 02:07:52.640 I have a fifty eighty. And the fact that I 2888 02:07:52.680 --> 02:07:54.800 can't just turn everything on max and have it like 2889 02:07:54.880 --> 02:07:58.079 run really well, it's crazy, not just because you know, 2890 02:07:58.439 --> 02:08:00.960 it's not about my thing, but I at a very 2891 02:08:01.039 --> 02:08:03.680 high end. If I can't do that, then one people expect. 2892 02:08:03.720 --> 02:08:05.600 He's like, well, if you lower some settings, you'll get 2893 02:08:05.600 --> 02:08:08.800 better performance. Yeah, no, shit, people don't want to lower 2894 02:08:08.920 --> 02:08:11.520 the settings just to be able to get a smooth, 2895 02:08:11.880 --> 02:08:13.399 stable experience. 2896 02:08:13.520 --> 02:08:15.439 Yeah. And the bigger problem with that is that it's 2897 02:08:15.600 --> 02:08:18.479 fine if a game does have settings that are hard 2898 02:08:18.479 --> 02:08:18.960 to achieve. 2899 02:08:19.039 --> 02:08:19.319 Now. 2900 02:08:19.439 --> 02:08:22.039 You know, Cyberpunk did that for all the issues that 2901 02:08:22.079 --> 02:08:24.920 game had. It was also like future thinking of like, 2902 02:08:25.159 --> 02:08:27.239 you know, there are settings in here at the highest 2903 02:08:27.279 --> 02:08:30.079 high stand that we don't recommend using right now. Avatar 2904 02:08:30.119 --> 02:08:32.680 did the same thing where the next wave of graphics 2905 02:08:32.760 --> 02:08:35.000 cards will run this decently and then the one after 2906 02:08:35.079 --> 02:08:37.079 that will make you look really nice. But it's the 2907 02:08:37.119 --> 02:08:40.520 fact that it kind of just looks like border Lands 2908 02:08:40.600 --> 02:08:43.680 and it's running this poorly is the big problem here, right. 2909 02:08:43.760 --> 02:08:46.000 That was not anyone's issue with Borderlands three. People had 2910 02:08:46.039 --> 02:08:48.439 issues with it wasn't the way it looked, right, Like, 2911 02:08:48.520 --> 02:08:53.479 how much more graphically advanced does border Lands need to get? 2912 02:08:53.520 --> 02:08:57.560 Why is border Lands taxing GPUs? I know that they 2913 02:08:57.600 --> 02:09:00.000 win a bit more open world with this one, fantastic, 2914 02:09:00.720 --> 02:09:02.840 but people would need to be a little bit smart 2915 02:09:02.880 --> 02:09:05.920 with stuff, you know. Unreal Engine five is maybe part 2916 02:09:05.960 --> 02:09:08.079 of it. Couple with some degree here, maybe it's a 2917 02:09:08.079 --> 02:09:09.960 bit of a scapegoat. Also, I don't know, it's probably 2918 02:09:10.000 --> 02:09:12.920 part of it, but ye know, something's gotta happen. There's 2919 02:09:12.960 --> 02:09:15.239 no reason for these games to be this heavy and 2920 02:09:15.399 --> 02:09:19.239 also not look much better than games from seven years ago. 2921 02:09:19.560 --> 02:09:20.079 What's going on? 2922 02:09:20.159 --> 02:09:22.319 It's a mix of scoping things out, you know. Tim 2923 02:09:22.359 --> 02:09:25.119 Sweeney was a little doochey about it when he was 2924 02:09:25.159 --> 02:09:26.840 talking about a couple of weeks back, but he did 2925 02:09:26.880 --> 02:09:29.680 have a point of developers do need to like keep 2926 02:09:29.720 --> 02:09:32.399 things in mind when they're building their game now. Granted, 2927 02:09:32.560 --> 02:09:34.840 Unreal Engine five should just be easier to build for. 2928 02:09:35.000 --> 02:09:38.119 It should just do things better, not have stutter constantly 2929 02:09:38.159 --> 02:09:42.000 on any platform all the time. But at the same time, 2930 02:09:42.119 --> 02:09:45.239 it is on developers to make sure that they aren't overreaching, 2931 02:09:45.600 --> 02:09:49.119 like it seems like they did here with Borlands four. Yeah. 2932 02:09:49.199 --> 02:09:52.039 I mean, if you want some free advice, Randy, don't 2933 02:09:52.079 --> 02:09:56.279 ever just tell PC gamers that the minimum spec thing 2934 02:09:56.359 --> 02:09:57.960 was scope for thirty frames per second. 2935 02:09:58.319 --> 02:09:58.920 They hate that. 2936 02:09:59.159 --> 02:10:00.920 They don't a second. 2937 02:10:01.399 --> 02:10:03.960 When does it ever look good when a response to 2938 02:10:03.960 --> 02:10:06.640 something some criticism is like, well, maybe if I do 2939 02:10:07.439 --> 02:10:09.640 fifty to sixty tweets about this, it'll be better. 2940 02:10:09.479 --> 02:10:12.399 If I just to them why they're wrong. 2941 02:10:12.680 --> 02:10:15.079 What if I showed you the angry emails I'm getting 2942 02:10:15.119 --> 02:10:17.680 that won't cause more people to send angry emails. I 2943 02:10:17.760 --> 02:10:25.319 bet we'll see, We'll see good thanking Randy. Randy is 2944 02:10:25.359 --> 02:10:29.039 too busy learning the magic's in the arcane art to 2945 02:10:29.119 --> 02:10:30.640 learn anything lessons about life. 2946 02:10:30.640 --> 02:10:32.680 This is the guy who tried even before we knew 2947 02:10:32.680 --> 02:10:34.479 it was gonna be eighty dollars. Then they backed off. 2948 02:10:34.520 --> 02:10:37.159 You just try to defend the possibility of it, and 2949 02:10:37.359 --> 02:10:40.680 was like surprise that that upset people. So he is 2950 02:10:40.800 --> 02:10:43.640 just on his own magic world. Uh. 2951 02:10:43.920 --> 02:10:46.920 Mega Mann Star Wars Legacy Collection was also announced as 2952 02:10:47.000 --> 02:10:48.960 part of the direct, but not here. Only in Japan. 2953 02:10:49.560 --> 02:10:52.119 Sewn is celebrating. I know Jan was celebrating this. It's 2954 02:10:52.119 --> 02:10:53.239 coming in twenty twenty six. 2955 02:10:53.960 --> 02:10:56.840 What what are they, Sean, I'm a big Magnet guy. 2956 02:10:56.920 --> 02:10:59.760 I'm not like a huge bout Nework person. I dabbled 2957 02:10:59.800 --> 02:11:02.840 in it Star Force. I was always like, what even 2958 02:11:03.279 --> 02:11:06.399 is this? Is this Battle Network? It never got good reviews. 2959 02:11:06.479 --> 02:11:10.920 I never even really considered playing these games. What are they? 2960 02:11:11.199 --> 02:11:15.680 So? Battle Network was a series that had an ending 2961 02:11:16.159 --> 02:11:19.239 for once, like people can be happy, especially after Mega 2962 02:11:19.279 --> 02:11:22.119 Man Legends left off on a cliffhanger. It was nice 2963 02:11:22.119 --> 02:11:25.479 that Bawl Network just finished. The final game was a 2964 02:11:25.479 --> 02:11:27.960 final game they even leaned into in story ways. So 2965 02:11:28.680 --> 02:11:31.680 how do you keep things going with a successful series 2966 02:11:31.720 --> 02:11:32.479 that has an ending? 2967 02:11:32.960 --> 02:11:33.800 You make a follow up? 2968 02:11:33.840 --> 02:11:36.920 And that's what Star Force was, and it's Battle Network, 2969 02:11:37.279 --> 02:11:40.760 but they changed the perspective. It's a It's weird because 2970 02:11:40.800 --> 02:11:42.920 you know how the Bawl Network games were on a 2971 02:11:42.960 --> 02:11:46.479 grid and it's like an action RPG tactical thing. Star 2972 02:11:46.560 --> 02:11:49.920 Force is behind the Shoulder in three D but still 2973 02:11:49.920 --> 02:11:51.760 on a grid and still having that game play because 2974 02:11:51.760 --> 02:11:53.520 they were like, it's the DS, we can do three 2975 02:11:53.640 --> 02:11:56.119 D now. So these kind of just are more Battle 2976 02:11:56.119 --> 02:11:59.000 Network games. They even play with like the Overworld the 2977 02:11:59.039 --> 02:12:01.760 same exact way everything like that you jack in, but 2978 02:12:01.960 --> 02:12:04.479 because it's the future now, it's a wireless thing that 2979 02:12:04.520 --> 02:12:07.680 you do over the internet. It was just it was 2980 02:12:07.800 --> 02:12:10.600 just more Battle Network for the next generation of councils and. 2981 02:12:10.880 --> 02:12:11.399 Not as good. 2982 02:12:11.600 --> 02:12:12.279 That's very excited. 2983 02:12:12.359 --> 02:12:14.079 Yeah, now as good as the Bowle Network games. So yeah, 2984 02:12:14.119 --> 02:12:16.159 people like me and Jan who did like those games, 2985 02:12:16.399 --> 02:12:17.720 goal that we have more visiplayer. 2986 02:12:18.279 --> 02:12:20.239 And my problem with Bad Network was the kind of 2987 02:12:20.279 --> 02:12:23.159 amount of against Saturday Morning cartoon story stuff. I assume 2988 02:12:23.199 --> 02:12:24.119 it's still I. 2989 02:12:24.079 --> 02:12:26.680 Don't believe they made that game for children, more games 2990 02:12:27.359 --> 02:12:29.119 for middle aged white men. 2991 02:12:29.279 --> 02:12:32.479 There's not I'm just saying like, I'm just confirming that 2992 02:12:32.520 --> 02:12:35.520 I probably won't really get into the. 2993 02:12:35.640 --> 02:12:38.840 Yeah, it's the same problem. Like the dialogue did get 2994 02:12:38.880 --> 02:12:41.119 better in the games as they went on, but it's 2995 02:12:41.159 --> 02:12:43.479 still going to be that style, so they might not 2996 02:12:43.600 --> 02:12:43.800 like it. 2997 02:12:44.479 --> 02:12:46.640 Chance so excited that the game has tiles. I get 2998 02:12:46.680 --> 02:12:50.000 it now, it all make sense. Yeah, it's a little 2999 02:12:50.000 --> 02:12:52.560 weird that they couldn't find a moment to bring this 3000 02:12:52.800 --> 02:12:56.520 up during the US percent although that trailer for the 3001 02:12:56.600 --> 02:12:58.880 Japans one is weird because it is essentially a bunch 3002 02:12:58.880 --> 02:13:01.600 of like care sure art and logos flying at you. 3003 02:13:01.680 --> 02:13:03.880 They don't want to show you the game at all. 3004 02:13:03.960 --> 02:13:04.800 For some reason. 3005 02:13:04.880 --> 02:13:08.119 They to have done this before though, like the Bell 3006 02:13:08.199 --> 02:13:10.600 Now collection is now sand direct and just like you 3007 02:13:10.720 --> 02:13:13.119 want it wasn't a montage I think the cats on spot, 3008 02:13:13.159 --> 02:13:15.279 but why not like putting the montage or something. 3009 02:13:16.119 --> 02:13:20.960 Didn't it do very well? Ye? Well, I'm sure they 3010 02:13:21.000 --> 02:13:23.079 know that this won't sell as well as that, but 3011 02:13:23.199 --> 02:13:25.479 may as well do it, because what's the Thing's so 3012 02:13:25.600 --> 02:13:27.399 better than I expected? But once they do that, it 3013 02:13:27.479 --> 02:13:29.159 really is just like, all right, if you're going to 3014 02:13:29.239 --> 02:13:32.159 do another Magna collection. All you have about this legends 3015 02:13:32.560 --> 02:13:33.279 you gotta do it. 3016 02:13:33.319 --> 02:13:37.479 At some point, Doe remake of a Mega Man's Soccer, 3017 02:13:37.640 --> 02:13:38.279 that's what you're going to. 3018 02:13:40.479 --> 02:13:42.840 I want it Battle Chase, Okay, okay. 3019 02:13:43.680 --> 02:13:45.479 And then, as always, we saved the biggest story of 3020 02:13:45.479 --> 02:13:48.399 the week for last. Acclaim is Back and they had 3021 02:13:48.439 --> 02:13:52.479 the Acclaim Showcase. Uh, they're an indie publisher. Now I 3022 02:13:52.520 --> 02:13:53.840 don't want to like rag on them too much for 3023 02:13:54.000 --> 02:13:57.039 just doing it, but they did buy the name of 3024 02:13:57.159 --> 02:14:00.319 Claim specifically to sucker a person like me into watching 3025 02:14:00.359 --> 02:14:01.000 what they did with. 3026 02:14:00.960 --> 02:14:03.800 This show yep, and yeah, it's yeah. 3027 02:14:03.800 --> 02:14:07.000 It feels kind of like it was Nordic, like a 3028 02:14:07.039 --> 02:14:09.079 step up like level of that, where it's like, hey, 3029 02:14:09.119 --> 02:14:11.079 we're just gonna get the name because people know the name, 3030 02:14:11.119 --> 02:14:13.239 and obviously the tiers like not just indy, they do 3031 02:14:13.239 --> 02:14:15.640 a little higher budget stuff, but it's just the name 3032 02:14:15.840 --> 02:14:16.960 right exactly. 3033 02:14:17.039 --> 02:14:19.479 Yes, it's very similar. Yes, and that's happened a bunch 3034 02:14:20.359 --> 02:14:22.239 you know. By this At this point, Atari really has 3035 02:14:22.279 --> 02:14:24.359 been through a million different owners. It has nothing to 3036 02:14:24.399 --> 02:14:26.880 do with what it like originally was, and they're doing 3037 02:14:26.960 --> 02:14:28.960 right by that, so it's possible to like figure this 3038 02:14:28.960 --> 02:14:32.600 stuff out. I just don't off to play these games, 3039 02:14:32.640 --> 02:14:34.000 and maybe some of these games will win me over, 3040 02:14:34.039 --> 02:14:35.640 and at that point I'll be like, I have new 3041 02:14:35.720 --> 02:14:38.000 different feelings about a Claim that have nothing to do 3042 02:14:38.039 --> 02:14:39.520 with the old Acclaim, But that's fine. 3043 02:14:40.000 --> 02:14:43.239 These games look it's like fine, by the way, but 3044 02:14:43.279 --> 02:14:46.800 it's because they just kind of publishing rights to existing 3045 02:14:46.840 --> 02:14:47.520 indie games. 3046 02:14:48.039 --> 02:14:50.680 Yes, yeah, maybe that's a move. 3047 02:14:50.760 --> 02:14:52.439 It's just so hard to get a test for these things, 3048 02:14:52.479 --> 02:14:54.720 even if you buy a claim like Kata not Right, 3049 02:14:54.760 --> 02:14:57.079 which is like the one of the game's shadow drop 3050 02:14:57.119 --> 02:15:01.159 that day. It's a metro sort of roguelike thing. Eighty 3051 02:15:01.199 --> 02:15:04.720 six reviews on Steam right now, right, So gosh, it's 3052 02:15:04.760 --> 02:15:08.239 difficult finding any space for us, especially at this weird 3053 02:15:08.279 --> 02:15:11.119 moment where we are having Folksong and Haities two in 3054 02:15:11.159 --> 02:15:13.239 the same month. It's crazy. 3055 02:15:13.760 --> 02:15:16.960 That does it for the news, I almost said, Jans Mike, 3056 02:15:17.000 --> 02:15:18.600 I'm handing the show back over to you. 3057 02:15:18.760 --> 02:15:19.319 Fantastic. 3058 02:15:19.720 --> 02:15:21.760 Thank you so much, Jeff.

First off from Chris 3101 02:17:34.479 --> 02:17:37.280 in Chicago. Hi, I'm getting the sense that you guys 3102 02:17:37.319 --> 02:17:40.360 are burning out a little on wrestling me too. Are 3103 02:17:40.399 --> 02:17:42.520 there any other hobbies that you've had to take a 3104 02:17:42.559 --> 02:17:44.879 break from in the past, maybe something that you were 3105 02:17:44.879 --> 02:17:48.680 doing out of habit rather than really wanting to do it. 3106 02:17:49.000 --> 02:17:53.000 Thanks Christophers Cargo. Yeah, I mean definitely, I'm taking a 3107 02:17:53.000 --> 02:17:57.079 bit of a wrestling break right now. Likewe is kind 3108 02:17:57.120 --> 02:17:59.959 of just it's almost like no interest at the moment. 3109 02:18:00.479 --> 02:18:03.559 AHw is pretty good. It's just I have little time 3110 02:18:03.600 --> 02:18:07.079 to watch weekly shows, so it's it's mostly an I'll 3111 02:18:07.079 --> 02:18:09.639 watch the pay per views if I'm able to think. 3112 02:18:09.479 --> 02:18:11.399 I watched the pay per views, and then it's like 3113 02:18:11.440 --> 02:18:13.280 I will the pressing's on. I'll typically have it on 3114 02:18:13.360 --> 02:18:15.920 in the background, but it's like almost never a like 3115 02:18:16.120 --> 02:18:19.680 you know, appointment viewing thing anymore, Like I rarely look 3116 02:18:19.760 --> 02:18:21.879 up from the steam deck honestly, or you know, more 3117 02:18:21.920 --> 02:18:23.520 frequently i'll have it on like an iPad or something 3118 02:18:23.520 --> 02:18:25.280 to have like my full focus on the TV game thing. 3119 02:18:25.280 --> 02:18:28.760 But anyway, yeah, I've dropped off. Well, I guess wrestling 3120 02:18:28.760 --> 02:18:32.520 in the past, I dropped off from about oh Lado 3121 02:18:32.639 --> 02:18:35.239 one to maybe like oh seven or eight. But I 3122 02:18:35.239 --> 02:18:37.639 think that was just because I was afraid girls wouldn't 3123 02:18:37.680 --> 02:18:39.040 like me if I was into wrestling, so. 3124 02:18:39.040 --> 02:18:40.600 Right, that would be one problem. 3125 02:18:40.680 --> 02:18:42.760 Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was the main thing. 3126 02:18:43.959 --> 02:18:47.479 Yeah, I don't think I've had too many things. More 3127 02:18:47.479 --> 02:18:49.360 it's like natural things moving in and out of my 3128 02:18:49.479 --> 02:18:52.319 orbit of like, oh, I watched this thing and it 3129 02:18:52.399 --> 02:18:54.559 had this certain subject matter and I got very into 3130 02:18:54.600 --> 02:18:56.600 that for a while, and then and then it's like, 3131 02:18:56.639 --> 02:18:58.600 you know, I learned what I could about that moved on. 3132 02:18:58.719 --> 02:19:00.600 That's happened a bunch, but that just it feels more 3133 02:19:00.680 --> 02:19:04.239 like natural taking interest in something instead of like making 3134 02:19:04.280 --> 02:19:07.440 it a whole hobby and then losing that hobby. That's 3135 02:19:07.479 --> 02:19:09.440 only happened a couple of times, and usually with something 3136 02:19:09.479 --> 02:19:10.440 like wrestling. 3137 02:19:10.239 --> 02:19:13.600 I think for me, it's been within video games. It'll 3138 02:19:13.639 --> 02:19:17.120 be without competitive games where a fighting game, a shooter 3139 02:19:17.280 --> 02:19:20.799 or something like. Overwatches that for a while where I 3140 02:19:20.840 --> 02:19:23.559 get really into like the ranked mode, and then at 3141 02:19:23.559 --> 02:19:26.040 a certain point I noticed I'm kind of just tilting 3142 02:19:26.079 --> 02:19:29.040 every single night I play. I'm like, am I actually 3143 02:19:29.079 --> 02:19:31.440 having fun here? Or do I just like want the rank? 3144 02:19:31.639 --> 02:19:33.680 Or do I tell myself how to get better? I'm 3145 02:19:33.719 --> 02:19:34.959 not actually having fun anymore. 3146 02:19:35.680 --> 02:19:37.879 Yeah, there's there are like our video games that are 3147 02:19:38.000 --> 02:19:39.799 hobby onto themselves. You know, I've done a lot of 3148 02:19:40.000 --> 02:19:43.360 MMOs and multiple times where it's like, all right, got 3149 02:19:43.360 --> 02:19:45.200 to take a break for especially if I'm doing rating 3150 02:19:45.280 --> 02:19:48.360 or something like that. Facey fourteen recently was just a 3151 02:19:48.399 --> 02:19:50.600 game I was playing every day for a very long 3152 02:19:50.639 --> 02:19:54.559 time until basically halfway through that last expansion where it 3153 02:19:54.680 --> 02:19:57.440 was finally kind of a bit of burnout. Like, Man, 3154 02:19:58.399 --> 02:20:02.760 I've been watching these NPC characters talk back and forth 3155 02:20:02.799 --> 02:20:04.799 with each other now for like four years. I think 3156 02:20:04.799 --> 02:20:07.040 I need a big break from from all of that. 3157 02:20:07.520 --> 02:20:09.040 And I'm not sure if I'll get you any of 3158 02:20:09.079 --> 02:20:11.680 stuff like Harstone Super even when we're recently pokey on 3159 02:20:11.799 --> 02:20:14.000 TCG Pocket for a while it's like, now every day 3160 02:20:14.000 --> 02:20:16.920 I'll at least open my packs, right, And then finally 3161 02:20:16.959 --> 02:20:18.559 it was this thing like at night I was like, 3162 02:20:18.559 --> 02:20:20.479 oh I didn't open my pack. Yeah, I guess I 3163 02:20:20.479 --> 02:20:22.600 got to do it. I was like, wait a second, 3164 02:20:23.159 --> 02:20:26.639 I don't want to do it. So, yeah, you know, 3165 02:20:26.840 --> 02:20:28.639 it is a thing though with something like that. But 3166 02:20:28.840 --> 02:20:32.399 once I stop, I stopped. Even you know, Harvestone was 3167 02:20:32.479 --> 02:20:34.280 like that man, like, you know, I get I kept 3168 02:20:34.319 --> 02:20:38.200 up with every expansion and I never once felt like, well, 3169 02:20:38.200 --> 02:20:40.559 I could just go back to that whenever. No I can't. 3170 02:20:40.719 --> 02:20:43.520 It's like Chris Cooper in Adaptation, No, I'm done with 3171 02:20:43.559 --> 02:20:46.520 fish fu right, all right. 3172 02:20:46.760 --> 02:20:49.520 A quick one from sports is I did grow up 3173 02:20:49.520 --> 02:20:51.840 watching the Chiefs in the decent amount of the Royals 3174 02:20:51.840 --> 02:20:53.719 and stuff like that, and it's when I moved to 3175 02:20:53.719 --> 02:20:55.319 Minnesota the first time, and it's like I used to 3176 02:20:55.319 --> 02:20:57.959 watch every Chiefs game and then it's like it's like 3177 02:20:58.159 --> 02:21:00.479 they're not. I think, now, there's probably way to watch 3178 02:21:00.479 --> 02:21:03.000 every game every season or whatever, regardless of where you are, 3179 02:21:03.239 --> 02:21:04.959 but it's like I would have to like miss games 3180 02:21:05.000 --> 02:21:06.360 and stuff like that, and so I just kind of 3181 02:21:06.360 --> 02:21:08.600 fell off, and I guess I'll start watching Vikings games 3182 02:21:08.639 --> 02:21:10.760 and it's like I did, and I like rooted for them, 3183 02:21:10.760 --> 02:21:12.799 but it's like I just moved here, you know, I'm 3184 02:21:12.799 --> 02:21:14.959 not like Kansas City's my team, you know. So I 3185 02:21:15.040 --> 02:21:17.079 just kind of fell off and never really came back 3186 02:21:17.120 --> 02:21:19.200 on it. But I still do have Like there's so 3187 02:21:19.200 --> 02:21:21.239 many people in our industry either go the sports ball 3188 02:21:21.280 --> 02:21:23.440 blah blah blah, and like, you know, like no I 3189 02:21:24.000 --> 02:21:27.319 understand what makes sports fun. I just haven't followed them 3190 02:21:27.319 --> 02:21:28.079 for a long time, you know. 3191 02:21:29.000 --> 02:21:31.840 Yep, all right, Travis and Fargo sent a few here. 3192 02:21:31.840 --> 02:21:35.879 We're just gonna read one question right now, Hello, hotties, 3193 02:21:36.079 --> 02:21:39.120 what's the worst Final Boss Slash level or area that 3194 02:21:39.239 --> 02:21:43.159 was a terrible capstone a crabstone, if you will, on 3195 02:21:43.239 --> 02:21:47.760 an otherwise enjoyable video game. Boy, that's amazing, as Muger 3196 02:21:47.799 --> 02:21:50.799 SAWID five is, it's really rough how it sets up 3197 02:21:50.840 --> 02:21:53.600 this thing with you know, boy Liquid Snake stealing that 3198 02:21:53.680 --> 02:21:56.719 metal gear and whatnot, and clearly that's supposed to be 3199 02:21:56.799 --> 02:21:59.239 the end, and they just didn't do that. So instead 3200 02:21:59.280 --> 02:22:02.319 you just have to play that intro sequence where you're 3201 02:22:02.360 --> 02:22:04.639 in the hospital and can barely move. 3202 02:22:04.760 --> 02:22:06.200 God, and it's like you to do it again. 3203 02:22:06.559 --> 02:22:08.319 It was, and it was so it was kind of 3204 02:22:08.319 --> 02:22:11.879 interesting that first time. The second time just a slog 3205 02:22:11.920 --> 02:22:13.479 and I don't even know. I guess it was like, oh, 3206 02:22:13.520 --> 02:22:17.840 you have new context for this, isn't it interesting? Mildly? 3207 02:22:18.639 --> 02:22:21.520 Then you know, you listen to another audio tape, this 3208 02:22:21.639 --> 02:22:23.639 time from Big Boss because that's most of the story 3209 02:22:23.680 --> 02:22:26.479 that game is just listening to audio tapes. So yeah, 3210 02:22:26.600 --> 02:22:30.520 the as amazing as that game is on a mechanical level, 3211 02:22:30.799 --> 02:22:32.120 story wise, it was a mess. 3212 02:22:32.840 --> 02:22:36.479 I would say rage the first one because you know, 3213 02:22:37.040 --> 02:22:38.399 not a lot of people loved it. I thought it 3214 02:22:38.440 --> 02:22:41.319 was a fun, good looking shooter back then. And then 3215 02:22:41.360 --> 02:22:43.239 the last Boss Fighter is just like you just like 3216 02:22:43.280 --> 02:22:46.600 get on an elevator like that's it's that's it. Like 3217 02:22:46.600 --> 02:22:48.120 I thought I was like taking an elevator up to 3218 02:22:48.239 --> 02:22:50.000 like a big boss fight or something, and it's just 3219 02:22:50.000 --> 02:22:51.879 like I remember, right, you just like pull a lever 3220 02:22:52.120 --> 02:22:54.680 or something, and then it's credits, like, oh shit, okay, 3221 02:22:54.719 --> 02:22:55.600 that sucks. 3222 02:22:57.879 --> 02:23:06.000 Expedition thirty three. He doesn't see in the game. I 3223 02:23:06.120 --> 02:23:10.719 don't like any way it can play out, And I'm 3224 02:23:10.879 --> 02:23:11.479 only going. 3225 02:23:11.360 --> 02:23:13.879 To say that I don't finish that's all I'm gonna 3226 02:23:13.879 --> 02:23:18.319 say they were fascinating. I like the ending, but we'll 3227 02:23:18.319 --> 02:23:19.200 get we'll get to that song. 3228 02:23:19.239 --> 02:23:22.520 There's a difference between well done and I just don't 3229 02:23:22.879 --> 02:23:23.159 like it. 3230 02:23:23.399 --> 02:23:25.440 That's gonna be a game of the year conversation right there. 3231 02:23:25.680 --> 02:23:29.600 Get Okay, Okay, all right.

Here I'll see to yesterday's podcast nine o 3262 02:24:57.319 --> 02:25:00.680 seven and started thinking about cool intro music cow wrestlers 3263 02:25:00.719 --> 02:25:03.600 have for the different BombCast crew members. These ones I 3264 02:25:03.639 --> 02:25:05.840 thought of based on the personality an interest. Jeff Grubb, 3265 02:25:06.239 --> 02:25:08.639 the dude is basically a walking game and Ssilopedia and 3266 02:25:08.680 --> 02:25:10.799 always on top of the lace and news. Naturally, his 3267 02:25:10.879 --> 02:25:13.680 intro music should be the game the Triple A Teams 3268 02:25:13.680 --> 02:25:16.680 song or name of the game by Crystal Method. For 3269 02:25:16.840 --> 02:25:20.200 Jeff baklar Man, I love this guy. He always has 3270 02:25:20.239 --> 02:25:22.479 the best takes on games, and the funny stories. My 3271 02:25:22.520 --> 02:25:24.319 favorites were his dissing a trip in the story about 3272 02:25:24.319 --> 02:25:27.360 the son playing Silk Song. Jeff is a gem until 3273 02:25:27.440 --> 02:25:29.879 something sets him off and he goes off the rails. 3274 02:25:30.000 --> 02:25:31.920 For him, it's T and T by a c DC 3275 02:25:33.159 --> 02:25:35.440 Jana Choa Jana is like the glue that holds the 3276 02:25:35.440 --> 02:25:38.239 bond cast together. He's what Joy is in Inside Out 3277 02:25:38.360 --> 02:25:40.639 Well Michael langel Is and Tim and t what Gustav 3278 02:25:40.799 --> 02:25:43.559 is the Xbosion thirty three crew. His team should be 3279 02:25:43.840 --> 02:25:46.239 Sexy Boy from Seawan Michaels or Sexy and I Know 3280 02:25:46.280 --> 02:25:49.600 It from Lmfao.

So a rocky style theme feels right. 3289 02:26:13.959 --> 02:26:18.120 Either rocky about both them or I of the Tiger. Yeah, 3290 02:26:19.319 --> 02:26:22.239 I think you would like carts on Fire even more, right, Dan, 3291 02:26:22.319 --> 02:26:23.040 I think that would. 3292 02:26:22.879 --> 02:26:27.159 Be your Burning Heart.

As the fighting guru, 3298 02:26:46.399 --> 02:26:49.639 he deserves a fighting game inspired theme, either Indestructible from 3299 02:26:49.639 --> 02:26:53.079 Street Fighting four, which, oh, that's a good song, or 3300 02:26:53.280 --> 02:26:55.719 Rising Up from Streets of Rage four also good. 3301 02:26:55.719 --> 02:26:59.120 I'll take Indestructible and Destructibles. 3302 02:26:59.319 --> 02:27:01.120 One year, that was I most listened song on my 3303 02:27:01.200 --> 02:27:03.639 Spotify year end rap up. 3304 02:27:03.639 --> 02:27:05.600 And that was twenty twenty three. 3305 02:27:05.799 --> 02:27:12.200 Yeah, literally, Dad, I think it was twenty twenty three. 3306 02:27:13.040 --> 02:27:14.920 And here we go for Mike Vanati is one of 3307 02:27:14.920 --> 02:27:16.920 the sweetest guys with great taste of games.
