You were here, 15 00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:39.119 I was here. 16 00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:43.280 Me and Chris get along so well, like peas and carrots. 17 00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:45.280 I didn't even think about it. 18 00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:48.719 I was happy. It was bliss. We enjoyed ourselves. 19 00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:51.039 But we're back, and it's really nice to have the 20 00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:52.439 three of us together again. 21 00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:54.880 Discovered that none of the games I like this year 22 00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.719 are cool, and all the games that are truly cool 23 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.159 I've never heard of on Steam because they have like 24 00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:02.000 twelve reviews. That's what I learned from Plant. 25 00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.239 Wait, wait, okay, give me give me three games. 26 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.239 The Plant loved couldn't have even couldn't tell you half 27 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:09.760 a way called oh no no, I got one q 28 00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:11.000 up Oh. 29 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:13.359 Jan was playing that today. I think Jan's into that. 30 00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:15.079 I don't really know what it is, but there's a 31 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.959 certain thing that's a jam game. Is there gambling in it? 32 00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:21.640 It's a it's supposedly the only fair. It's about an 33 00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.799 esport esport players, I believe, and the sport is just 34 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:29.239 coin tosses. So it's like, Okay, that's a jam fair. 35 00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.280 That's a jam game. Yeah, I think its. 36 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:33.200 Into something that's more than that. 37 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:35.400 I think he likes Baby Steps, which was. 38 00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:37.480 An interesting like baby Steps. 39 00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:41.079 It's an interesting difference between us. But I think he 40 00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:44.959 was like, I live to suffer and love the challenge 41 00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.079 and got really into the consistency of it. 42 00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.640 No Plant was saying, Plant is playing it the opposite 43 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.040 of how Grub was playing it. Plant was playing it 44 00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:56.359 like anytime they gave him a shortcut, He's like, yeah, 45 00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.079 I'll use it. Like he was saying, how that game 46 00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:01.040 is just about how we don't accept help when it's 47 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:03.200 thrown at our face, often to make things more challenging 48 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.120 for us. It's it's Chris Plant he's always got you know, 49 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.560 he's got he's got interesting, insightful takes on stuff. That 50 00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:09.360 was what he was saying. 51 00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:13.120 I like it when things are easier. Yeah yeah, I 52 00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:18.439 like shortcuts and spic Yeah yeah, Like being a coward 53 00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:22.840 is underrated, like. 54 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:24.919 Like right, like you just safer if you're a coward. 55 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:27.759 Right like after Night eleven, my grandma said she would, like, 56 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:29.719 you know, send me to Canada if they tried to 57 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:31.639 draft me. And it was like that sounds fucking great. 58 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:33.280 Oh you're a draft dog. 59 00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:36.000 I would have been I would have been a draft dodger. 60 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:38.879 This only adds to my assumption that you would make 61 00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:42.000 such a spectacular politician, not because you know what you're doing, 62 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.080 but because you ride the wave of charisma and you know, 63 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.120 just ego and maybe just I don't know. 64 00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:50.080 I don't know anything about that, so it's not my problem. 65 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:52.280 I would do it in like a nice way now, 66 00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.520 like a you know, malevolent way. Yeah yeah, like I'd 67 00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:56.240 kind of. 68 00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:59.159 Like ignorance surfer. You know, you're just like I didn't 69 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.159 know about that travesty. 70 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.800 I'm just here to have fun. 71 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:05.280 The video game industry. 72 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:06.439 What's that? 73 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.159 I said? You're the eb Farnum of the games industry. 74 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:14.039 Oh, never mind, I take back the coward thing. I'm 75 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.680 a tough, brave man. 76 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:20.240 You don't know that I do. 77 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:22.240 Just cowards underrated. 78 00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:24.879 I wasn't talking about myself. I just think if cowards 79 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:25.919 want to do that, that's fine. 80 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:29.520 Okay. I don't know, Dan, Are you secretly being really 81 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:31.719 brave and tough at night when we're not around, Well 82 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:33.319 we're never around, but you get what I mean. 83 00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:35.319 Yeah, you know, I'm just going to patrol in the streets, 84 00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:37.319 you know, just making sure everyone's you know, in line. 85 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:38.919 Yeah, well, let me get you. 86 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:42.479 Like a scenario like you're in a mall and somebody 87 00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.439 in the mall is brandishing. 88 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:48.719 A knife and they're being threatening. Do you approach? 89 00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:50.680 Why do you rat call the cops? 90 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:52.800 Yeah, you're a coward? 91 00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:56.639 How about this? So Mike, let me here's the genetics effect. 92 00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:01.719 What would you do, Mary, I would I would pull 93 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:03.120 his pants down, all. 94 00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.360 Right, that's okay. That's a better option than trying to, 95 00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:06.960 like knife. 96 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:10.159 Because instinctively he's gonna try and pull him back up. 97 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:12.400 And that's when you need him in the face. 98 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:14.960 That's when you chop them. Yeah, you do something? 99 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.160 What is it? Eyes? Ears, foot, face. I don't know, Dan, 100 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:22.199 what was the scenario you were, well, eyeballs. 101 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.680 I've never been in a fight. My dad has not either, 102 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:26.879 but he said there was one time he was like 103 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:28.480 going to the bar decade. 104 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.319 It's a crazy eighties the record. 105 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.560 What that I've never been a fight on both. 106 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.519 Of your accounts that your dad hasn't either, it's crazy 107 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:39.040 to me some official verbal Sorry, let me clarify. I'm 108 00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.439 surprised you're has your Wait, he's never been in a fight. 109 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:42.480 Has he ever been punched? 110 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.560 Not to my knowledge? No, okay, no, okay. I almost 111 00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:49.000 like one of the last times I went home for 112 00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:50.720 Christmas and we were drunk and he tried to light 113 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:52.319 my beard on fire and I almost punched him in 114 00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:54.879 the face. So I probably almost come the closest to 115 00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:56.560 punching him in the face. But he was at a 116 00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:58.439 bar once in like the eighties or nineties, and he 117 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.079 overheard some like biker guys like, hey, let's fuck this 118 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.480 place up, let's cause some trouble. My dad got really scared, 119 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:05.759 and so he grabbed a pool ball and he dove 120 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:08.000 under the pool table and just brandished the pool ball. 121 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:09.680 So that was the closest he's been to be in 122 00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:10.120 a fight. 123 00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:14.240 As well as he's been to a fight, is hiding 124 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:15.279 under the pool table. 125 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.600 Yeah. Meanwhile, my grandpa, his dad was a combat medic 126 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:21.560 in Korea and had to pull the dead bodies off 127 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:23.319 the field and he got a bronze star for valor 128 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:23.879 in combat. 129 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:29.000 So prentitively, Yeah, that's not far right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 130 00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:30.120 not far from the tree at all. 131 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:32.879 Yeah, Mary, I. 132 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:36.240 Want to go back to the knife thing. You pull 133 00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.879 his pants down, But what if he's coming at you, 134 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:45.560 you never printing at you holding a knife saying I'm 135 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:51.240 about to stab you calmly, so you know he means business. 136 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.720 They say it like normal tone. They've been playing this. 137 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.839 I am a dirty fighter, meaning I don't play by 138 00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:02.480 the rules and I don't know anyone shit. The winner 139 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:07.079 is the winner, period, And so like, is there sand. 140 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:07.720 That I can throw? 141 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:08.680 Is there? 142 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:09.920 You know what I mean? 143 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:10.160 Like? 144 00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:11.160 Can I. 145 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:13.639 Them into move. 146 00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:14.600 Something in front of us? 147 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.240 My goal isn't to like, yeah, do this equally, it's 148 00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:20.800 to just ruin him with objects. So I would be 149 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.040 looking for something that I could throw at him from 150 00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:26.399 a distance while like maintaining space. I would love to 151 00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.920 tell you that I would like lurch forward and go 152 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.639 after him. But when somebody has a knife, I have 153 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.639 to create distance and probably hurl shit at them until 154 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:39.839 they're distracted, and then ideally once they're distracted, pantsome and 155 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:44.319 then and then they are super distracted, and that's when 156 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.120 you make your move. And that would either be like 157 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.480 an elbow or probably some kind of growing or eyeball situation. 158 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.759 Growing and eyeballs are really just like the great equalizer. 159 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:53.759 You take out. 160 00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:56.920 Those are the two I would go to. But I 161 00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:58.800 was in a fight. I think he wants to. 162 00:06:58.720 --> 00:06:59.879 Fight without their ball. 163 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:02.439 Do you want to know, oh the throat thing? 164 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:03.199 Yeah, we. 165 00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:07.800 Are assuming that the knife brander is the boy, which 166 00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:11.639 I find really a fun form of misogyny. 167 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:17.040 You I thought IM a doctor. It's him before we 168 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:17.800 have a part. 169 00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:18.399 Of the problem. 170 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.639 I do assume mostly. 171 00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:25.040 The ernest question here. I am not a doctor or 172 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:26.439 a woman, so I don't know the answer to. 173 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:26.959 We know this. 174 00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:30.920 Yeah, if you if you were running I was going 175 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:32.800 to get to the vagina. If you were running at 176 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:36.360 someone brandishing a knife and someone kicked you directly in 177 00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:40.240 the vagina, yeah, what would that would that be? Like 178 00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:42.759 kicking you in the thigh?

It's so good. 369 00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:19.679 All right, yeah TV? 370 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:20.200 What do I know? 371 00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:22.240 Why do I know that act? Oh she's from she's 372 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:24.399 from Better Cassault. Yeah she's awesome. 373 00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:25.200 Yeah she's great. 374 00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:27.120 That's right, Yeah she's I saw the. 375 00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:34.759 Uh. 376 00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:36.320 I thought that was fantastic. 377 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:38.200 I think it's such a good ride. 378 00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:41.360 They carry tension throughout the whole film, and you guys 379 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:43.679 are gonna think I'm crazy, but I actually think it's 380 00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:46.080 very similar to The Chair Company in the sense that 381 00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:49.759 like it's weirdly stressful and then funny, and you're like, 382 00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:52.639 I don't know if this should be funny because it's stressful, 383 00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:55.919 but I can't help it. And I laughed a lot 384 00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:59.159 during Bogonia when I felt like I should be upset 385 00:16:59.320 --> 00:16:59.960 or like stress. 386 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:02.080 I can see because it's got you know, again, without 387 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:05.240 spoiling it, it's very surreal, and there are definitely characters 388 00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:07.880 that have some really wild thoughts about what's going on 389 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:11.000 and paring them with the utmost certainty, like you know, 390 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:13.279 Tim Robinson talking about the Chair Company and then just 391 00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:14.920 yeahs and stuff in this like it's. 392 00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.680 They're both characters that are like taking the situation so 393 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:22.000 seriously that you're almost like laughing at them because you're like, 394 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.799 these are ridiculous. The Chair Company has like really good 395 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:32.359 moments where Tim Robinson is still such a ridiculous person, right, 396 00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:35.920 Like he has these really weird quirks that carry him 397 00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:38.480 in his character. So even though the situation is wild, 398 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:41.440 it's like, why did you make this decision? It's such 399 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.119 an absurd decision. But Gonya is quite similar, where the 400 00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:49.720 lead characters are making choices where I'm like, is this 401 00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:53.240 a ridiculous decision that you chose to do this, but 402 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:56.400 they feel so strongly about their choices that it feels 403 00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:00.000 endearing and honest, that's probably like the weirdest review ever. 404 00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:02.519 But I actually, I think I came home from Bogonia 405 00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:04.839 and watched that Chair Company and was like, why are 406 00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:06.039 these so similar? 407 00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:09.839 Also, I just I realized, like every time I've seen 408 00:18:09.880 --> 00:18:11.880 Emma Stone in the last few things I've seen her in, 409 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:14.759 it's just like, is she just incredible at every possible 410 00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:15.960 type of role? You could throw her away. 411 00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:18.960 She's one of the best actresses of this of our 412 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:25.160 generation for sure. I mean, she's so so talented comedy, drama, everything. 413 00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:27.640 How does she do it? It's just so committed to 414 00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:29.960 her roles. Yeah, she's good forget. 415 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:31.759 Did you see The Curse with Nathan Fielder? 416 00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:34.839 M you did? Yeah? 417 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:36.079 I actually I haven't finished it. 418 00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:40.079 Oh well that's and I heard that's when it gets good. 419 00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:42.559 Yes, yes, that one has a slow burn. 420 00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:46.079 It does, but and I'll say by the end this 421 00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:48.880 specifically the end end is like, oh shit, that makes 422 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:51.039 us all extremely worth it. And not that it was 423 00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:54.319 bad ever, but it is a slow burn. But yeah, 424 00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:57.119 she's incredible on that too. But yeah, Bogonia incredible. I 425 00:18:57.119 --> 00:18:58.799 want to watch the rest of his stuff. I hadn't seen, 426 00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:00.119 you know, Bonk is seeing a lot of that of 427 00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:02.799 the Lobster and Poor Things and his other. 428 00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:04.559 No. 429 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:06.680 Oh wow, I wonder what you'd think of that. I 430 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:08.160 find that movie like hard to watch. 431 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:13.680 I liked it back in the day. I liked uh yeah, 432 00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:17.000 I also like the Is it because Jesse Plemmons is 433 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:20.720 in Pogonia? Right? Oh yeah, yeah?

And 557 00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:54.000 I couldn't tell why that was amped up, but like 558 00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:56.359 it's a really good bit, Like Chris Fleman would go 559 00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:59.799 into Conan's house during parties and like that, people would 560 00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:01.680 try to talk to him and converse and he'd be like, 561 00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:04.039 not now, I'm being hunted, and then would like kind 562 00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:06.440 of sneak around the party and then Conner would see 563 00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:08.359 him and sprinted him from across the house and throw 564 00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:09.279 him out.

I mean, I thought many parts of 651 00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:53.799 that were funny intentionally, but there's other parts where it's 652 00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:56.880 like just horrific shit, and it was the funniest fucking 653 00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:02.039 thing ever.

You So, I 680 00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:22.039 haven't even told you guys about what this is. No, okay, 681 00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:24.839 we're recording this pre embargo. It will be coming out 682 00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:29.440 after embargo. I got I went out to Seattle to 683 00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:33.119 go to Valve HQ and checked out three new pieces 684 00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:36.000 of hardware that they are working on. Uh, and it's 685 00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:39.440 I'm very excited about all three of them. So it 686 00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:43.480 is decker is steam jack decker? Yes, yes, they have 687 00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:47.079 a steam steampunkers decker that lives steam upper deckers. The 688 00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:49.759 second one, I thought you hadn't know about this, Mary, Mary. 689 00:30:50.519 --> 00:30:54.160 I should work in marketing. Tell me more about this 690 00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:56.279 Steam upper decker. I'm excited. 691 00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:00.160 So first thing is the steam controller. So that is 692 00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:03.759 a controller that basically imagine you took a steam deck 693 00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:07.160 and you just cut out the screen anyone and you 694 00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:09.440 put it all together. It's got the track pads, it's 695 00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:11.759 got the sticks in the same situations and all that. 696 00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:15.559 Like all the layouts very very similar. It looks weird 697 00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:17.680 if you look at the photo of it, it's gonna 698 00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:20.440 be like, what is that thing? But when I first 699 00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:23.119 held it, my first thought was like, this feels like 700 00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:25.720 a better version of the Dreamcast controller, which like in 701 00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:28.640 terms of just like I was kind of sha you know. 702 00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:30.799 The way if you cut out the screen from steam 703 00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:32.759 Deck and you put it together. What I'm imagining it 704 00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:36.079 looking like is something like this like the switch to 705 00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:38.319 like square ish, because I feel like if you just 706 00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:40.319 mash the sides of a steam deck together, it would 707 00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:41.119 come out looking square. 708 00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:41.839 Is it square? 709 00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:43.200 What's the silhouette? 710 00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:46.440 It's it's think like Dreamcast. Actually I could send you 711 00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:49.440 I will send you here. We'll get a live react here. Okay, 712 00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:52.480 I'm sending the image in our private discord here so 713 00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:55.599 you two can react to it. Here here is the 714 00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:58.759 reveal of the Steam controller. What do you think of that? 715 00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:03.839 Kind of like it looks like the Xbox controller, but 716 00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:06.000 somebody pulled its pants down a little bit. 717 00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:08.680 And panting, Yeah, that looks. 718 00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:13.759 Like it's good. I think it's that the Xbox controller 719 00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:17.480 has like you know how like the PlayStation controller is 720 00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:22.200 skinny and like fits smallly in the hand, and the 721 00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:24.440 Xbox controller is like kind of fat and thick. 722 00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:27.960 This is fat and thick and also long. Strange. 723 00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:30.359 Yeah, it's so it's also got stuff that like so 724 00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:32.319 it's got the track pad and something can see visually, 725 00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:34.839 but then there's stuff too that like I'm sure people 726 00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:37.160 are gonna find really weird cool ways to deal with this, 727 00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:39.599 but like it's got this capacitive stuff on the grips 728 00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:42.400 to where based on like how hard or how far 729 00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:45.519 your palms are from it. Like for instance, uh, what 730 00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:47.319 was that plane? I was playing a first person shooter? 731 00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:50.200 I was playing cyberpunk and they had it where it's 732 00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:54.000 like if you grip it fully, it kind of activated 733 00:32:54.039 --> 00:32:56.039 the gyro on it so you could, like you know, 734 00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:59.160 you could aim around first person with the motion, which 735 00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:01.160 the gyro stuff is incredible on this. In fact, if 736 00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:03.160 it's in like mouse mode and you're doing like like 737 00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:05.759 a mouse cursor, it is remember like the the WE 738 00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:08.319 remote you know, had the lag and stuff when you're pointing. 739 00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:10.119 It sounds good in theory, but it felt like shit. 740 00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:12.640 This one felt like using a mouse. It was incredible. 741 00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:15.359 But yeah, so the capacitive stuff, I'm curious to see 742 00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:17.119 what people do with that because that that's a unique 743 00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:20.119 implementation there. But yeah, it's got the backgrip buttons and everything. 744 00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:22.039 It's got the track pad there, but it is it 745 00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:25.240 looks like just like a tall controller basically. 746 00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:28.119 All like what's up with the double track pad? 747 00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:28.920 I think? 748 00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:31.279 So what they want to do is uh and all 749 00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:33.119 the stuff I'm going to talk about here, is they 750 00:33:33.759 --> 00:33:39.759 they for the video of folks who were really doing Yeah. Yeah, 751 00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:42.200 they want everything to kind of be similar in terms 752 00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:45.720 of the Steam UI and the controller experience. Uh, just 753 00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:48.480 kind of one to one across this hardware and what 754 00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:50.519 people know and like about the same deck and everything. 755 00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:53.839 So that's why there's no big swings in terms of 756 00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:55.000 control layout. 757 00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:56.799 With what I was going to say, what's yeah, what 758 00:33:56.880 --> 00:34:00.039 is what is the Is this meant to become like 759 00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:03.000 the de facto PC controller or no? 760 00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:07.720 So let me move on to number two here. Actually, 761 00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:12.280 right now, they. 762 00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:13.280 Took this Steam Deck and broke it out into two 763 00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:17.039 pieces of hardware. Is it a fucking fat ass controller 764 00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:18.239 and a fat ass screen? 765 00:34:18.760 --> 00:34:23.440 Nope, there's number two. Uh yeah, they made a game 766 00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:28.920 cube cube. It is the cube that is the stem machine, 767 00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:33.519 which out of the three, this is maybe the one 768 00:34:33.679 --> 00:34:36.440 I am the most excited about. Uh it is, by 769 00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:37.880 the way, So I'm sending you a picture. Now, there's 770 00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:40.599 like a bar. There's like an LED bar on the front. 771 00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:43.320 It's it's just like a black cube basically, but there's 772 00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:46.079 this like LED bar that it can you can customize 773 00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:47.559 it to be like, you know, power. You can have 774 00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:49.840 it be like download you know, you can be a 775 00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:50.599 proceress like. 776 00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:52.559 Half of a Series X kind of if you were 777 00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:53.280 to cut it like a. 778 00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:57.039 It does look it is actually smaller though it is 779 00:34:57.320 --> 00:34:59.039 more akin to the size of the game cube, I 780 00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:02.519 would say, and power wise, So this is a console. 781 00:35:02.679 --> 00:35:05.719 Steam Valve made a console. It is six times more 782 00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:08.400 powerful than a Steam Deck. And so if you were 783 00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:10.440 to get this and you just it's got an HDMI 784 00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:12.320 out and it's got to display pored out. So let's 785 00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:13.880 say you just put it under your TV like any 786 00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:16.800 other console, hook it up via HDMI. You could take 787 00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:19.039 it on day one when you own it, and you 788 00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:21.559 could take the SD card out of your Steam deck, 789 00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:23.719 pop it in there, and all your games and everything 790 00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:25.440 are right there. And since it's all using the same 791 00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:27.280 UI and everything, oh you don't have to read download 792 00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:29.320 a bunch of stuff. It's just using the same game, 793 00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:31.880 the same system and everything. So they just straight up 794 00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:32.559 made a console. 795 00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:35.480 So they made a switch, being that now you can, like. 796 00:35:35.719 --> 00:35:38.559 Now it's easier to play PC games in the living room, 797 00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:42.079 et cetera on a TV exactly exactly, but also presumably, 798 00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:44.599 what is the hardware like compared to a series extra 799 00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:45.679 PS five? Do you know? 800 00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:49.599 So I asked that a bunch, you know, just like, okay, 801 00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:52.079 we're talking like base base PS five here we say, 802 00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:53.719 And they were they were a little reluctant to say 803 00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:56.320 things like that. Okay, Mary is lifting up her keyboard 804 00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:58.519 right now and shaking out beer. 805 00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:02.800 We have beer there, So what's happening? Oh cores light. 806 00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:04.760 Oh she's still cores light in. 807 00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:07.320 The Oh my goodness, Mary, this is this is I've 808 00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:08.840 done this before. This is not good. 809 00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:10.559 That's pretty brute, you guys. 810 00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:12.119 I'm sorry, Mary, keep going. 811 00:36:12.360 --> 00:36:12.880 That's tough. 812 00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:17.360 It is six times more powerful in the Steam That 813 00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:19.239 is what they told me basically, So they were not 814 00:36:19.320 --> 00:36:21.440 going to I've got the specs here, so I don't 815 00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:23.199 know are you Are you a specs guy, Mike. 816 00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:25.559 H enough to all right, get Egg? 817 00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:26.440 What do you want? 818 00:36:26.480 --> 00:36:30.000 What? Like? What's the video card in it? 819 00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:30.639 Uh? 820 00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:33.360 The video card is a semi custom a m D 821 00:36:33.719 --> 00:36:36.840 r d n A three twenty six cu supports four 822 00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:41.280 K gaming at sixty FBS with fs R rate tracing supported. 823 00:36:41.920 --> 00:36:43.960 The CPU is an a m D six scores in 824 00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:47.639 four x eighty six, comes in a five twelve gigabyte 825 00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:50.360 model and a two terabyte model, and it is going 826 00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:52.679 to ship with one of those Steam controllers. 827 00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:53.320 That's the price. 828 00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:56.400 That's the bundle price. They did not announce. So and like, 829 00:36:56.719 --> 00:36:58.639 you know, I think it's one of those things where 830 00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:01.000 like I think it's the new reality now is like 831 00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:03.360 you're going to see a lot of things announced and 832 00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:05.639 people being like I I don't know, Like look at 833 00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:07.079 the switch, you know, you got announced and they had 834 00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:08.960 to change the price of successories and stuff like that. 835 00:37:09.239 --> 00:37:10.559 It's just the current state of things. 836 00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:12.760 But no screen. And here's the thing that's like really 837 00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:14.480 interesting about this unless the third thing you're going to 838 00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:15.400 announce is the screen. 839 00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:17.239 But the thing like, wait, what screen? What are you 840 00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:18.000 talking about? 841 00:37:18.119 --> 00:37:19.400 I'm saying there's no screen. 842 00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:23.280 So when you're talking about TV, yeah, it's like a console, 843 00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:26.239 as I was saying, when you're talking about a switch 844 00:37:26.519 --> 00:37:29.440 or a steam deck, it has a screen built in. 845 00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:32.480 And screens are really expensive to produce, right, oh, because 846 00:37:32.519 --> 00:37:35.159 of the stuff that's in them. This has no screen, 847 00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:38.360 so obviously you have to plug it into one. But 848 00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:40.159 what I'm saying is that the price point is going 849 00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:42.239 to be distinctly less because it doesn't have to pay 850 00:37:42.239 --> 00:37:45.519 for a fucking screen. You're paying only for like a 851 00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:47.519 piece of hardware. So I'm actually thinking it's going to 852 00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:49.400 be around three hundred dollars. 853 00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:52.920 Oh. I think it's that the specs you just read 854 00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:55.960 off are like, I don't disagree with you that, like 855 00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:57.880 they're saving money by not having a screen, not making 856 00:37:57.920 --> 00:37:59.519 it a handheld. But the specs you were just reading 857 00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:01.440 are like the good a decent PC. 858 00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:03.400 Yeah, And when you think about like the price of 859 00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:06.159 modern consoles, you know, like they're not three hundred dollars. 860 00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:07.719 It's seven. 861 00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:10.440 I would say, like five six. 862 00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:13.719 I'm operating off of no information here. If they said 863 00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:15.800 seven hundred, especially for this two terrible one, I would 864 00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:19.000 not be shocked. So but they have not announced it yet, 865 00:38:19.320 --> 00:38:21.079 so yeah, I mean I would think of this more 866 00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:24.199 akin to like a PlayStation five or Nextbox Series X 867 00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:26.800 or something like that, you know, versus comparing with things 868 00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:28.800 with screens and stuff like that, like all these components 869 00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:30.760 and everything and bringing things in from all over the world. 870 00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:32.719 Like I think everything is influx right now. 871 00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:36.159 So you know, wait, let me guess, is it the 872 00:38:36.199 --> 00:38:43.599 next VR? Yes, okay, it's. 873 00:38:42.119 --> 00:38:44.119 The Steam frame. It's the Steam frame? 874 00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:46.480 So no, wait was the vibe them? 875 00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:48.760 No, that was if I was HTC, But they worked 876 00:38:48.760 --> 00:38:50.960 it was like a third party thing they did, so yes, 877 00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:54.320 it was involved. They did the index was I wonder if. 878 00:38:54.239 --> 00:38:55.960 They're going to do a new half life. 879 00:38:57.400 --> 00:38:58.440 Still going on VR? 880 00:38:59.360 --> 00:39:03.400 Yeah, so it's a good one. It's maybe I think 881 00:39:03.440 --> 00:39:05.400 it is the best one I've ever used for sure. Like, 882 00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:07.320 so I'm showing you the picture here of kind of 883 00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:10.840 the whole suite of stuff, the front of that VR 884 00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:14.639 headset is the computer. Basically it's all a local thing 885 00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:17.960 like like the metic Quest, but it is so light. 886 00:39:18.239 --> 00:39:20.679 So it's got the computer basically on the front and 887 00:39:20.719 --> 00:39:22.320 it's got the battery in the back, and they have 888 00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:25.159 got to balance extremely well. So in terms of comfort level, 889 00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:28.360 it is definitely the best I've used. And so something 890 00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:29.800 I think is really cool here is it comes with 891 00:39:29.800 --> 00:39:33.320 this dongle and you can use it locally, so you 892 00:39:33.320 --> 00:39:34.960 can use it like a meta Quest three. You can 893 00:39:34.960 --> 00:39:39.039 play games locally on it and everything. But that dongle 894 00:39:39.159 --> 00:39:43.159 will plug into the Steam machine or a PC and 895 00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:47.639 it will just send the gameplay, like all the gameplay information, 896 00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:50.719 graphical information, and everything goes over the dongle. My understanding 897 00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:53.920 is not using the Internet. It is just using it locally, 898 00:39:54.239 --> 00:39:56.760 just kind of beaming it there and then so that way, 899 00:39:56.800 --> 00:39:58.760 it's like if you have bad Wi Fi or something 900 00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:00.960 like that, it's not gonna to be super hitchy and 901 00:40:00.960 --> 00:40:03.239 shitty because it's using your WiFi. This dongle will send 902 00:40:03.239 --> 00:40:05.800 it and just the gameplay stuff, just the stuff needed 903 00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:08.480 for the gameplay versus like you know, Discord voice chat, 904 00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:12.400 other Internet applications and things like that, so we uh 905 00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:14.800 we we. They turned on some debug filters for us 906 00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:16.480 when I was using it, and they have a thing 907 00:40:16.480 --> 00:40:19.119 where it's like they have a ten percent of your 908 00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:22.760 view basically like which sounds like a very small amount, 909 00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:24.920 but like they turned they toggled it on and off, 910 00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:27.199 and it's like basically the center of your view no 911 00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:29.800 matter where you're looking with both your head and your eyes. 912 00:40:29.880 --> 00:40:33.800 It's got eye tracking. They are putting way more like 913 00:40:33.840 --> 00:40:36.719 horsepower into that ten percent window that the center of 914 00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:39.039 your eyes is looking at what they're doing. The thing 915 00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:40.719 that they've done it in like standard non VR games 916 00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:42.599 as well, where it's like you know, they'll be is 917 00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:43.679 it dynamic rendering or. 918 00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:46.199 No, there's a there's a cool I'll look it up 919 00:40:46.320 --> 00:40:47.239 something like that. Yeah. 920 00:40:47.599 --> 00:40:49.000 I think they had a term for it here they 921 00:40:49.000 --> 00:40:53.119 called like foviated streaming or something. Yes, I think, yes, 922 00:40:53.159 --> 00:40:54.920 they were using the term foviiate of the lot. 923 00:40:55.119 --> 00:40:59.760 I think I think Meta also used that. Yeah. Okay, okay, 924 00:40:59.840 --> 00:41:01.880 and maybe not not to the extent you're talking about, 925 00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:03.559 but that's I knew I'd heard that phrase before and 926 00:41:03.599 --> 00:41:04.400 I didn't see this, but. 927 00:41:04.559 --> 00:41:07.480 It's it's all wireless, and so you're not connected to anything. 928 00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:09.199 At no point will you be wired. I mean, I 929 00:41:09.239 --> 00:41:11.519 don't even know if that's the possibility charge. 930 00:41:11.199 --> 00:41:14.280 Though, Like, could you could plug into so you don't 931 00:41:14.320 --> 00:41:18.880 have to How would you How do you charge this thing? 932 00:41:19.800 --> 00:41:21.239 I mean I would just seem like anything else, you 933 00:41:21.320 --> 00:41:22.679 just plug it in when you're not using it. 934 00:41:23.320 --> 00:41:26.239 Right, But if you have zero if you have zero battery, 935 00:41:26.320 --> 00:41:28.679 I'm just refuting the fact that you'll never be wired. 936 00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:30.440 If you have zero battery and you want to play it, 937 00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:31.280 you're gonna have to have it. 938 00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:33.280 That's probably an option to just play. 939 00:41:34.159 --> 00:41:39.079 I'm being as I'm just yea, how do you charge 940 00:41:39.119 --> 00:41:42.719 this thing? Yeah? No, it's it's it's really solid. 941 00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:46.159 I I remain skeptical of just like VR in general, 942 00:41:46.199 --> 00:41:49.039 because until they're actually like, look, half Life Alex kicks 943 00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:51.239 ass and I played a half Life Alex beaming off 944 00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:56.079 of the Good Game. No doubt this will be the 945 00:41:56.079 --> 00:41:58.400 best way to play it, just like super easy streaming 946 00:41:58.480 --> 00:42:01.840 from going to be a new half didn't say anything about. 947 00:42:01.599 --> 00:42:04.039 That, but Half Life Brad, Oh my god, if they 948 00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:07.679 if they in some world did like announce that this 949 00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:09.239 is going to launch with a half Life three, they 950 00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:11.960 that would just I mean, I know there's that's a no, 951 00:42:12.119 --> 00:42:13.880 I'm not actually thinking it's gonna happen. There's in no 952 00:42:13.880 --> 00:42:16.480 way what they need to do, if anything. Like I 953 00:42:16.519 --> 00:42:19.639 think this lineup's kind of cool. Like, I think it 954 00:42:19.639 --> 00:42:21.840 all looks good. I like the aesthetic. It's ten times 955 00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:24.039 better than the monstrosity that is the PS five that 956 00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:25.960 I've still not gotten used to seeing in my home. 957 00:42:26.440 --> 00:42:28.039 The console itself, the. 958 00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:30.000 Design of the console itself. I think this, all this 959 00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:31.239 stuff is all slick looking. 960 00:42:31.440 --> 00:42:33.760 I like all this Like when I go home for 961 00:42:33.800 --> 00:42:36.280 the holidays, I'm not bringing a fucking any modern console 962 00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:38.840 outside of the switch. Like, this thing is very packful, 963 00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:41.400 and I think more importantly, the thing I kept thinking 964 00:42:41.440 --> 00:42:44.239 about here was someone like my sister, who loves video 965 00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:46.679 games just her whole life, has loved video games, but 966 00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:49.679 has never had never played games on a PC, you know, 967 00:42:49.800 --> 00:42:52.800 never never had that. Like this is a way to like, 968 00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:55.719 like just just if something's just on Steam, she's not 969 00:42:55.760 --> 00:42:57.599 playing it. She's even if it's like super for her, 970 00:42:57.639 --> 00:42:58.840 and I would love for her to check it out, 971 00:42:58.840 --> 00:43:00.400 I'm never gonna recommend it because she's just doesn't have 972 00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:03.440 a way to play it. This is this is a console. 973 00:43:03.559 --> 00:43:05.440 This is a box that you plug into your TV, 974 00:43:05.519 --> 00:43:08.320 but it has access to your games Steam library. 975 00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:09.480 I will say. 976 00:43:09.880 --> 00:43:12.400 The use case for me is like when I play 977 00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:15.559 PC games, I have to go upstairs into my work 978 00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:19.119 station where my gaming you know. 979 00:43:19.159 --> 00:43:21.800 Spaces, and that's fine, I can do it. 980 00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:24.719 But the thing I really want to do is play 981 00:43:24.760 --> 00:43:27.320 PC games on the couch, like in the comfort of 982 00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:27.840 my home. 983 00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:29.400 But I don't have. 984 00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:33.119 Another PC set up there. So I play my Steam 985 00:43:33.199 --> 00:43:36.320 Deck on the couch. This I would connect to my TV, 986 00:43:37.239 --> 00:43:39.239 and I think that is that is kind of the 987 00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:39.920 game changer. 988 00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:43.400 So here's another thing too, is let's say, okay, Haitis 989 00:43:43.440 --> 00:43:45.760 two runs great on the Steam deck, you play it 990 00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:47.320 on there, then you can also go play it on 991 00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:48.400 the Steam machine on your TV. 992 00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:49.719 Same thing I said. 993 00:43:49.559 --> 00:43:52.599 About the SD card works with the Steam frame as well, 994 00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:54.320 where you pop it in there and all your games 995 00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:56.320 on Steam are there, and so even two D games, 996 00:43:56.360 --> 00:43:59.400 so like anything on Steam. I played Hades two in 997 00:43:59.440 --> 00:44:01.639 the Steam Frame and did the thing where it blew 998 00:44:01.719 --> 00:44:04.239 up the screen super big. The resolution was awesome, Like 999 00:44:04.280 --> 00:44:06.599 it was a super comfortable, cool way to play that game. 1000 00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:08.440 It's got the split controllers I sent you guys. The 1001 00:44:08.440 --> 00:44:09.840 photo here you can see it's you know, if you've 1002 00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:11.840 seen like a Metaquest controller or something like that, it 1003 00:44:11.840 --> 00:44:15.440 looks similar. But it was a very comfortable, cool way 1004 00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:17.679 to play Hades too. So like if you were in 1005 00:44:17.679 --> 00:44:20.760 that Steam ecosystem, you have so many different options here 1006 00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:23.000 that you knows, assuming it works the way they're saying 1007 00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:25.280 it will and the way I experienced it working is 1008 00:44:25.320 --> 00:44:26.880 it's just this seamless way to like, I don't know 1009 00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:27.920 if you want to play on a Steam Deck on 1010 00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:29.000 a plane, you want to play it on your TV 1011 00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:29.199 at home? 1012 00:44:29.239 --> 00:44:30.039 Do you want to play it in VR? 1013 00:44:30.280 --> 00:44:33.440 Like it's really really cool stuff they're doing here. 1014 00:44:33.519 --> 00:44:35.840 Yeah, there's like a world in which if I have 1015 00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:40.280 all of them, I'm in here playing Rainbow six Siege 1016 00:44:40.519 --> 00:44:42.840 on mouse and keyboard or a strategy game on mouse 1017 00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:44.360 and keyboard. But then I'm like, oh, I'm done. I'm 1018 00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:45.440 gonna go hang out in the living room of the 1019 00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:47.599 mand I bring my Steam deck and then my brother 1020 00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:49.320 texts me, He's like, hey, do you want to play 1021 00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:51.840 Apex on Steam? And I'm like sure, and then I 1022 00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:54.519 bring I come back in and now I'm all of 1023 00:44:54.519 --> 00:44:59.079 a sudden on this console like that's the seamlessness. And 1024 00:44:59.119 --> 00:45:01.159 also like I trust fail to figure out the software 1025 00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:03.400 side of things and the platform side of things and 1026 00:45:03.440 --> 00:45:06.760 the hardware now at this point. So that's all super promising. 1027 00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:09.320 I would like to have that full suite as of 1028 00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:12.559 now pending. Yeah, to Mary's point, like how much I'm 1029 00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:13.199 gonna have to pay for it? 1030 00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:16.360 How much is it because I can make it? 1031 00:45:16.440 --> 00:45:20.199 Yeah, I'm saying that particularly it's dan how much is 1032 00:45:20.239 --> 00:45:25.599 it because I have computers that when I build them, 1033 00:45:25.599 --> 00:45:28.039 it's nice because then I could replace pieces. What's kind 1034 00:45:28.039 --> 00:45:31.519 of frustrating about buying a PC console is like again, 1035 00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:33.320 that's why I bring up the price point, is like, 1036 00:45:33.360 --> 00:45:35.199 if I'm going to spend seven hundred dollars, I'm going 1037 00:45:35.239 --> 00:45:38.000 to build my own PC and then replace pieces as 1038 00:45:38.039 --> 00:45:38.599 I need to. 1039 00:45:39.119 --> 00:45:41.920 This is like a one and done Cuba. 1040 00:45:42.119 --> 00:45:47.079 Or is it modular? Did they say I doubt it? 1041 00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:49.000 Look at the spec sheet here. I want to say 1042 00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:51.159 they said something about like they might have said like 1043 00:45:51.239 --> 00:45:53.599 certain elements of a good like storage and things like that, 1044 00:45:53.599 --> 00:45:54.480 but I don't want to say. 1045 00:45:54.920 --> 00:45:58.480 I'm only seeing two USB c's and one no way, Yeah, 1046 00:45:58.639 --> 00:46:01.840 two USB's and one s port, and it's. 1047 00:46:01.679 --> 00:46:06.440 Like okay for USBA ports two USB three in the front, 1048 00:46:06.519 --> 00:46:12.519 two USB two in the rear. Yeah, okay, I'm not 1049 00:46:12.519 --> 00:46:16.239 seeing anything on the spec sheet about modification, but you 1050 00:46:16.239 --> 00:46:17.719 know TVD on that, I don't want to say anything 1051 00:46:17.719 --> 00:46:17.880 like that. 1052 00:46:18.199 --> 00:46:18.760 I doubt it. 1053 00:46:18.840 --> 00:46:22.119 I ventually on consoles, they don't want you like opening 1054 00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:25.039 your up and like fixing it. So it's just like 1055 00:46:25.400 --> 00:46:28.920 again for a PC situation, especially for people who are 1056 00:46:28.920 --> 00:46:32.079 like playing multiplayer games, You're gonnaed to hook up your 1057 00:46:32.559 --> 00:46:36.119 MIC and you know, like other components and so anyway, 1058 00:46:36.199 --> 00:46:38.719 when I'm like streaming, I need to have a rig. 1059 00:46:38.840 --> 00:46:41.400 So I probably I would never use this for like streaming, 1060 00:46:42.039 --> 00:46:46.320 but for gaming casually this has a market, but again 1061 00:46:46.960 --> 00:46:49.239 only to a certain price. At a certain price, like 1062 00:46:49.400 --> 00:46:50.239 just build. 1063 00:46:51.039 --> 00:46:54.280 These days, any new piece of hardware, I'm just always 1064 00:46:54.280 --> 00:46:58.760 bracing for it to be more than people want or expect. Yeah, 1065 00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:00.599 probably fair. I think that's the worst. 1066 00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:04.800 Yeah, I'm still so hopeful. I'm so hopeful that it 1067 00:47:04.880 --> 00:47:06.960 won't crush me with its cost. 1068 00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:10.320 Yeah. By the time this episode goes up, the announcement 1069 00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:13.960 will have officially gone out from Balve. But I don't 1070 00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:16.840 think they're going to be announcing the price the soon. 1071 00:47:17.440 --> 00:47:21.239 I think they know better with what happened plus all 1072 00:47:21.239 --> 00:47:24.960 the other stuff, it's probably still actually like malleable based 1073 00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:27.079 on tariffs and a bunch of other factors of what 1074 00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:28.000 it will end up being. 1075 00:47:28.559 --> 00:47:30.920 Ye crazy cool. 1076 00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:32.880 Dan, Yeah, very very like. 1077 00:47:32.960 --> 00:47:35.119 That's the thing is, like they don't They are very 1078 00:47:35.159 --> 00:47:37.280 selective and when they reach out to press and stuff 1079 00:47:37.320 --> 00:47:39.119 like that, and every time they have reached out it's 1080 00:47:39.159 --> 00:47:41.840 been for a good reason. And so yeah, we took 1081 00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:43.480 the trip and went out there and it's like, oh, okay, 1082 00:47:43.559 --> 00:47:46.639 you guys have some real shit cooking here. It's no game. 1083 00:47:47.719 --> 00:47:49.760 They didn't announce anything about like games or anything like that. 1084 00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:50.119 I played. 1085 00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:54.079 I played Haites two. I played a Half Life Alex. 1086 00:47:54.159 --> 00:47:56.199 I played there was I forget the name of this game. 1087 00:47:56.199 --> 00:47:58.760 It is you're on a boat talking to a dude. 1088 00:47:58.920 --> 00:48:03.639 I don't know, you know a boat spirit fairer. No, No, 1089 00:48:03.800 --> 00:48:06.920 it's there's a storm. There's a guy with a hat 1090 00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:09.119 on a boat. 1091 00:48:09.519 --> 00:48:09.840 Mmm. 1092 00:48:10.320 --> 00:48:13.519 See if thieves like two games say it. 1093 00:48:13.559 --> 00:48:19.320 Was like an indie game. I wasn't aware. Turned I 1094 00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:22.760 played Cyberpunk, I played Metal Garslid Delta, I played you know, 1095 00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:25.039 they said like the Steam Library as of now is 1096 00:48:25.079 --> 00:48:26.480 like it can kind of run everything at like four 1097 00:48:26.519 --> 00:48:28.679 K sixty the Steam Machine. 1098 00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:30.000 So cool. 1099 00:48:30.920 --> 00:48:31.159 Yeah. 1100 00:48:31.719 --> 00:48:35.559 Oh wait sorry, and they there's no like launch window. 1101 00:48:36.480 --> 00:48:37.280 Early next year. 1102 00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:43.480 Oh gotcha? Okay, so I would see like I wonder 1103 00:48:43.519 --> 00:48:47.079 if yeah, I wonderful see price stuff like before the 1104 00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:49.719 New Year's or not. I don't think so. I think 1105 00:48:49.719 --> 00:48:51.400 if they're going to they do it right now. But 1106 00:48:51.920 --> 00:48:55.760 yeah cool. Speaking of new hardware, I caught up and 1107 00:48:55.880 --> 00:49:00.039 got a switch to and so far I've played a 1108 00:49:00.079 --> 00:49:03.199 bunch of ports for like work purposes, just to test 1109 00:49:03.199 --> 00:49:08.440 stuff out. But uh, tried Mario Kart as well. Cool 1110 00:49:08.440 --> 00:49:11.159 stuff there. That game is like, I don't know that 1111 00:49:11.199 --> 00:49:12.920 I'll keep going back. I was never the biggest Mario 1112 00:49:13.000 --> 00:49:13.519 Kart person I. 1113 00:49:13.519 --> 00:49:17.119 Played console seller. In my opinion, that game is not. 1114 00:49:17.559 --> 00:49:22.000 But fucking uh Dan, I'm not trying to be mean 1115 00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:24.199 when you talk. When you talk a big game about 1116 00:49:24.280 --> 00:49:27.199 Nintendo games, I think you you'll be the first to 1117 00:49:27.239 --> 00:49:31.039 admit like you really like Nintendo games. No, I think 1118 00:49:31.039 --> 00:49:35.239 you're you're capable of looking past your Nintendo mark. 1119 00:49:35.760 --> 00:49:38.280 I have given so many bad reviews to first person 1120 00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:41.199 Nintendo game awesome up a fucking list. If you need them, Paper, 1121 00:49:41.199 --> 00:49:44.360 Mario Colors, Black, start Bucks zero, all fucking shit on 1122 00:49:44.440 --> 00:49:45.280 Nintendo all day. 1123 00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:47.760 Yeah those games suck though, But like I'm saying, yeah, 1124 00:49:48.159 --> 00:49:51.639 you really like Nintendo games, I'm always like, oh cool. 1125 00:49:51.719 --> 00:49:53.840 And then also when I hear that Giant Bomb likes 1126 00:49:53.840 --> 00:49:56.119 a three D platform, I'm like, what else is new? 1127 00:49:56.480 --> 00:49:58.320 So I was like, Okay, I went into this game 1128 00:49:58.360 --> 00:50:01.719 with high expectations because it's the Super Mario Odyssey team 1129 00:50:01.800 --> 00:50:03.760 and because it just I've heard a lot of people 1130 00:50:03.760 --> 00:50:09.000 say it's really good, that game is fucking good. But actually, 1131 00:50:09.599 --> 00:50:11.360 I realize people who are listening to this have probably 1132 00:50:11.360 --> 00:50:12.840 heard a lot of people talk about this game so far. 1133 00:50:12.880 --> 00:50:14.800 I won't like harp on this game too long, especially 1134 00:50:14.800 --> 00:50:16.360 because we've got Game of the Year coming up soon. 1135 00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:18.840 I'm going to save some stuff for that. I'm only 1136 00:50:19.199 --> 00:50:24.679 two worlds and two layers quo quote not much, not 1137 00:50:24.719 --> 00:50:28.639 counting sub layers. So this this nomenclature is weird. You're 1138 00:50:28.639 --> 00:50:32.559 basically instead of going between worlds, you're going deeper and 1139 00:50:32.599 --> 00:50:35.239 deeper into this like planet toward the core. But of course, 1140 00:50:35.280 --> 00:50:36.800 like once you get down to a certain one, you're 1141 00:50:36.840 --> 00:50:40.679 outside in like a lagoon or hilltops, or a forest, 1142 00:50:40.719 --> 00:50:46.440 et cetera. But like, I don't think this game is 1143 00:50:46.440 --> 00:50:48.880 is perfect by any means. I think the camera. I mean, 1144 00:50:49.400 --> 00:50:53.239 so those who don't know, you can break almost everything 1145 00:50:53.280 --> 00:50:56.880 in this game. It's Donkey Kong. You're just smashing almost NonStop. 1146 00:50:56.920 --> 00:50:58.880 You can punch upward, you can punch downward, you could 1147 00:50:58.880 --> 00:51:02.840 punch forward, you can surf on these explosive blocks, you 1148 00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:05.400 can punch through walls. You're doing this ground slam to 1149 00:51:05.519 --> 00:51:10.039 highlight collectible items like bananas or seashells or whatever the 1150 00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:13.000 thematic item is in that world, and you're highlighting them 1151 00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:14.760 like with a sonar ping when you slam the ground, 1152 00:51:14.760 --> 00:51:19.039 which is really nice creative use of that. It's gonna 1153 00:51:19.079 --> 00:51:21.480 happen when you get into tight tunnels in this game. 1154 00:51:21.519 --> 00:51:25.360 The camera's not gonna know how the fucks react. It 1155 00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:28.360 gets a bit annoying. I forgive it, just because again 1156 00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:30.719 they are letting me basically dig into the bowels of 1157 00:51:30.719 --> 00:51:33.800 this game with by punching the ground and like minecrafting 1158 00:51:33.840 --> 00:51:40.360 my way through the environment. But like the amount of 1159 00:51:40.400 --> 00:51:46.519 creativity on display is just unreal. The joy Yeah, it's 1160 00:51:46.559 --> 00:51:49.639 the like it's the most like Capital v Capital G 1161 00:51:49.880 --> 00:51:52.760 video game of I'm trying to remember. I think we 1162 00:51:52.760 --> 00:51:54.519 we've talked about this a lot, Like Mary, you would 1163 00:51:54.519 --> 00:51:57.039 love this game. I think like it. Obviously the switch 1164 00:51:57.079 --> 00:52:00.760 to is not everybody has one, but like, if you 1165 00:52:00.840 --> 00:52:03.119 get it, I would actually like Now I know how 1166 00:52:03.199 --> 00:52:04.519 much I like this I wish I had gotten a 1167 00:52:04.559 --> 00:52:10.039 switch to sooner. The worlds are gorgeous. The fact that 1168 00:52:10.119 --> 00:52:13.760 like it's super reductive at this point to like compare 1169 00:52:13.800 --> 00:52:16.440 it to Super Mario Odyssey. But I will say that 1170 00:52:16.440 --> 00:52:21.159 that team is so good at classic Mario games or 1171 00:52:21.239 --> 00:52:23.119 just like Genius in the way that they can introduce 1172 00:52:23.159 --> 00:52:26.159 an idea and then put a twist on an idea 1173 00:52:26.280 --> 00:52:28.480 and then like test you to master the idea, whether 1174 00:52:28.519 --> 00:52:31.280 against a boss or just like a more difficult world. 1175 00:52:32.119 --> 00:52:33.920 The fact that they can still sort of pull that 1176 00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:36.800 off in a wide open world, like these areas are 1177 00:52:36.920 --> 00:52:39.320 not completely wide open, but for all intensive purposes they 1178 00:52:39.360 --> 00:52:41.280 kind of are, especially because you can just dig from 1179 00:52:41.280 --> 00:52:44.519 one side to another in certain cases. The fact that 1180 00:52:44.519 --> 00:52:49.960 they can still onboard and tutorialize such like fun creative ideas, 1181 00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:51.719 but then by the time you get to a different 1182 00:52:51.719 --> 00:52:54.960 part of the map, it's just you've mastered it and 1183 00:52:55.000 --> 00:52:57.480 now you're being tested in a really creative way against 1184 00:52:57.480 --> 00:53:00.280 a boss. Like I also just love that half the 1185 00:53:00.280 --> 00:53:03.360 time the solution is just to smash things, like everything. 1186 00:53:03.880 --> 00:53:06.360 They're they're under no illusion that Donkey Kong needs to 1187 00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:09.079 be anything other than an ape that really fucking likes 1188 00:53:09.079 --> 00:53:10.159 bananas and smashes. 1189 00:53:10.159 --> 00:53:12.840 Everything's Donkey Kong's not doing witness puzzles, you know. 1190 00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:16.000 No, Yeah, there's no secret thing happening in the sky 1191 00:53:16.039 --> 00:53:17.719 that you need to draw a line across. It's just 1192 00:53:18.320 --> 00:53:21.079 it went ins out climb something, or you can almost 1193 00:53:21.079 --> 00:53:23.599 climb nearly anything as well, unless it's a certain surface 1194 00:53:23.760 --> 00:53:24.800 or break anything like. 1195 00:53:24.760 --> 00:53:25.920 Throw a boulder at something. 1196 00:53:26.119 --> 00:53:30.400 Yeah, they they're not precious about Like it's just I 1197 00:53:30.519 --> 00:53:33.320 come across like there's this lagoon that's been drained, or 1198 00:53:33.440 --> 00:53:36.119 like there's this water source up in the sky has 1199 00:53:36.159 --> 00:53:39.519 been plugged up by this villain, and you're trying to 1200 00:53:39.519 --> 00:53:42.440 remove these butt plugs to let the water flow back down. 1201 00:53:42.559 --> 00:53:44.360 But of course there's a monkey trying to fish in 1202 00:53:44.360 --> 00:53:47.000 a lagoon, and you can see his thought bubble or 1203 00:53:47.039 --> 00:53:50.920 his conversation bubble from like a few feet away, and 1204 00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:53.800 he's just like finally some peace and quiet of fish 1205 00:53:53.840 --> 00:53:56.039 and then I come through slamming the ground and breaking 1206 00:53:56.079 --> 00:53:58.800 all the palm trees and like basically just destroying the pond. 1207 00:53:58.840 --> 00:54:01.199 He's like, well, now I gotta find somewhere else to fish, 1208 00:54:01.400 --> 00:54:05.159 Like you can the world and the NPCs are so 1209 00:54:06.039 --> 00:54:10.800 nonchalant about you just wrecking everything. Oh, it's it's it's amazing. 1210 00:54:10.920 --> 00:54:12.840 It's the most like, yeah, just hop into a world 1211 00:54:12.920 --> 00:54:14.920 and run around and fuck stuff up, and you're gonna 1212 00:54:14.960 --> 00:54:17.360 you're gonna just come across fun stuff to do in 1213 00:54:17.400 --> 00:54:19.599 specific challenges and stuff like that. But you really can 1214 00:54:19.800 --> 00:54:22.960 just aimlessly go through the world and punch stuff and 1215 00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:25.280 it's not totally mindless in that way, you know. 1216 00:54:25.239 --> 00:54:26.800 Right, I was gonna say much of the time it 1217 00:54:26.840 --> 00:54:29.480 can be mindless and you're just smashing stuff, and I'm 1218 00:54:29.519 --> 00:54:31.719 like going into a trance just destroying everything because it's 1219 00:54:31.719 --> 00:54:34.440 so satisfying and the haptic feedback and it's such a 1220 00:54:34.480 --> 00:54:37.719 crunchy game. It feels amazing to play. But then other 1221 00:54:37.800 --> 00:54:41.480 times there's like, oh, right, it's the it's this team. 1222 00:54:41.519 --> 00:54:43.840 They know how to create a puzzle, which again they're 1223 00:54:43.880 --> 00:54:45.719 not gonna be the most complicated puzzles, but every once 1224 00:54:45.719 --> 00:54:47.079 in a while I have had to stop and think 1225 00:54:47.119 --> 00:54:49.960 a bit, or at least like look around and take 1226 00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:52.159 in the environment and figure think out my next step. 1227 00:54:52.199 --> 00:54:56.280 But it yeah, it's just I also, oh god, I 1228 00:54:56.360 --> 00:54:59.760 love that there's there was one point where I thought 1229 00:54:59.800 --> 00:55:01.920 of you, Dan, and I was like, oh my god, 1230 00:55:01.920 --> 00:55:04.079 I think they made this game for Dan Riiker. Basically, 1231 00:55:04.599 --> 00:55:07.679 you have to hear one character talk or read his 1232 00:55:07.679 --> 00:55:12.199 his you know, a rant for like sixty seconds, which 1233 00:55:12.400 --> 00:55:15.159 by this game's measurement, is a long time. And I 1234 00:55:15.159 --> 00:55:16.760 was like, oh, I wonder how Dan felt about this. 1235 00:55:16.840 --> 00:55:18.320 And then all of a sudden you get a banana 1236 00:55:18.519 --> 00:55:21.559 just for sitting through the dialogue, which are funny time 1237 00:55:21.760 --> 00:55:25.519 congrats a golden banana. Yeah. And then Donkey Kong like 1238 00:55:25.559 --> 00:55:27.000 of course, now I got a skill point and now 1239 00:55:27.039 --> 00:55:29.440 all of a sudden, I can punch through harder terrain. No, 1240 00:55:29.559 --> 00:55:32.440 that game's amazing. It's just like I love Super Mario 1241 00:55:32.440 --> 00:55:36.119 want to see. I liked Astrobot for what it's worth, 1242 00:55:36.440 --> 00:55:38.719 and I thought that game was like just joyful and 1243 00:55:38.880 --> 00:55:41.280 they had a blast making it and it's just unabashedly 1244 00:55:41.320 --> 00:55:44.719 a video game. But like Donkey Kong Bananza, I don't 1245 00:55:44.760 --> 00:55:46.719 know that another game this year compares in terms of 1246 00:55:46.760 --> 00:55:49.960 just like it's not trying to be anything other than 1247 00:55:50.000 --> 00:55:52.119 what it is, and what it is is they just 1248 00:55:52.199 --> 00:55:55.199 nailed almost everything they've been trying to do so far. 1249 00:55:55.280 --> 00:56:00.199 And yeah, it's great. I'm glad that a whole bunch. Yeah, 1250 00:56:00.760 --> 00:56:03.880 it's phenomenal. I like it quite a bit. 1251 00:56:04.280 --> 00:56:04.800 I'm glad. 1252 00:56:06.679 --> 00:56:08.119 Mary. What have you been playing. 1253 00:56:09.440 --> 00:56:12.599 I've been playing a little game called I should be 1254 00:56:12.639 --> 00:56:14.320 like one of the best titled games of the year 1255 00:56:14.880 --> 00:56:22.400 r V there yet, which is a. 1256 00:56:20.239 --> 00:56:22.360 Co op or what we've been calling what do you 1257 00:56:22.360 --> 00:56:22.639 call it? 1258 00:56:22.639 --> 00:56:28.159 Like slaugh friends slop game about four people who need 1259 00:56:28.199 --> 00:56:30.800 to get in an RV and go to a destination 1260 00:56:30.920 --> 00:56:33.960 on a map, but most of the time you're. 1261 00:56:33.800 --> 00:56:37.960 Smoking and drinking and chilling by the water. 1262 00:56:38.280 --> 00:56:42.639 It's just a really fun, stupid game to play with 1263 00:56:42.719 --> 00:56:47.960 your friends because there's nothing truly serious about it. There's 1264 00:56:48.000 --> 00:56:52.400 a complete dedicated button to smoking, and so you just 1265 00:56:52.480 --> 00:56:55.119 constantly have a cigarette in your mouth and you're like 1266 00:56:55.239 --> 00:56:57.519 all smoking while you talk to each other and planning 1267 00:56:57.559 --> 00:57:00.599 what you're gonna do. It's the actual like the gameplay 1268 00:57:00.679 --> 00:57:04.320 is that the RV can get stuck on the terrain. 1269 00:57:04.480 --> 00:57:07.800 It puts you in some like really precarious situations mud, 1270 00:57:07.920 --> 00:57:13.320 really tall steep hills, you know, precarious mountain tops, et cetera. 1271 00:57:13.880 --> 00:57:15.440 And so you need to be able to use the 1272 00:57:15.480 --> 00:57:20.400 tools to get your RV through these physical puzzles. There's 1273 00:57:20.480 --> 00:57:23.960 a wench, which is my favorites kind of op and 1274 00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:28.079 you can attach a cable from your RV the front 1275 00:57:28.159 --> 00:57:31.239 or the back to pull your RV through some of 1276 00:57:31.320 --> 00:57:35.119 these spaces. There's also like wedges that you might want 1277 00:57:35.119 --> 00:57:37.000 to put and then just like classic stuff like a 1278 00:57:37.039 --> 00:57:39.280 wooden board, and so you put the wooden board in 1279 00:57:39.280 --> 00:57:40.960 front of the tires if you're stuck in the mud 1280 00:57:41.000 --> 00:57:41.800 and things like that. 1281 00:57:42.079 --> 00:57:44.559 You can also attach the wench to other players. So 1282 00:57:44.599 --> 00:57:46.239 if you're playing with four players and we were doing 1283 00:57:46.239 --> 00:57:48.320 a stream, I attached it to Jeff Backlar and suddenly 1284 00:57:48.360 --> 00:57:51.840 Mike not he's driving the RV and it's dragging Jeff backl. 1285 00:57:52.079 --> 00:57:55.280 So funny like the situations that you get into, but 1286 00:57:55.360 --> 00:57:57.800 like it really is the surprises of the game that 1287 00:57:57.880 --> 00:58:00.960 I think made us love it so much, Like you know, 1288 00:58:01.079 --> 00:58:03.320 running into the trees to be like I wonder what's 1289 00:58:03.320 --> 00:58:05.960 ahead and then running back and being like bear, Bear Bear, 1290 00:58:06.199 --> 00:58:09.239 And there are bears in the game and elk for 1291 00:58:09.280 --> 00:58:12.679 some reason that can impact your gameplay. 1292 00:58:12.840 --> 00:58:15.639 So we laughed a lot about all the crazy antics 1293 00:58:15.639 --> 00:58:16.159 we got into. 1294 00:58:16.480 --> 00:58:19.320 The RV is a stick shift, which is a very 1295 00:58:19.360 --> 00:58:21.199 funny thing to play in a video game. So you 1296 00:58:21.280 --> 00:58:24.679 have to like push in the clutch, go into first 1297 00:58:24.719 --> 00:58:28.119 in second gear to be able to drive, and the game. 1298 00:58:27.920 --> 00:58:29.920 Is it's just very cheeky. 1299 00:58:30.440 --> 00:58:31.039 What does it say. 1300 00:58:31.079 --> 00:58:31.639 It says like. 1301 00:58:34.639 --> 00:58:38.280 In the instructions it goes, oh, if you never learned 1302 00:58:38.280 --> 00:58:41.079 how to drive a stick shift, it's time to learn. 1303 00:58:41.400 --> 00:58:43.360 And so it's just kind of like making you try 1304 00:58:43.400 --> 00:58:45.320 these things for the first time. I think when the 1305 00:58:45.440 --> 00:58:48.199 coffee cup is full, it has the option to drink, 1306 00:58:48.480 --> 00:58:50.760 and when the coffee cup is empty and you're holding it, 1307 00:58:51.800 --> 00:58:54.239 the option for action is to do nothing. It just 1308 00:58:54.280 --> 00:58:57.400 literally says do nothing because there's nothing in the coffee cup. Like, 1309 00:58:57.440 --> 00:59:01.480 these guys had fun making this stupid bid game and 1310 00:59:01.719 --> 00:59:02.679 allowing you to play. 1311 00:59:02.880 --> 00:59:04.320 And there's fun stuff you can do too, where it's 1312 00:59:04.320 --> 00:59:06.559 like almost like air traffic control arms and stuff. So 1313 00:59:06.599 --> 00:59:08.840 if you're like, you know, you can move arms individually 1314 00:59:08.920 --> 00:59:11.760 to point like, oh, you're far away, and it's if 1315 00:59:11.800 --> 00:59:13.920 I told you guys aout the movie Sorcerer where it's 1316 00:59:14.000 --> 00:59:16.280 a but the truck never had the draw bridge. 1317 00:59:16.400 --> 00:59:17.199 It's a lot like that. 1318 00:59:17.280 --> 00:59:21.039 It's a lot like there'sious stuff. It's like William Friedkin's 1319 00:59:21.079 --> 00:59:24.199 Sorcerer to like lay down, you know, planks and stuff 1320 00:59:24.199 --> 00:59:27.559 across like a river and you're driving an RV across 1321 00:59:27.559 --> 00:59:29.440 it and one person's on the other side. Okay, go 1322 00:59:29.519 --> 00:59:31.280 that way, go that way, and you've got the prox 1323 00:59:31.360 --> 00:59:32.840 chat and all that stuff. You can also just kind 1324 00:59:32.840 --> 00:59:36.719 of wildly motion towards things. It's it does a there 1325 00:59:36.800 --> 00:59:39.800 is that good mix of like actual gameplay there and 1326 00:59:39.840 --> 00:59:42.840 it's not just total chaos, but also like they know 1327 00:59:42.880 --> 00:59:45.119 what kind of game they're making, and there's enough silliness 1328 00:59:45.159 --> 00:59:45.519 there too. 1329 00:59:45.599 --> 00:59:47.559 They knew what they were making for sure, and they 1330 00:59:47.639 --> 00:59:49.519 kind of honed in on that. There's a lot of 1331 00:59:49.519 --> 00:59:52.760 stuff that isn't really final, but it's fine. Snakes in 1332 00:59:52.800 --> 00:59:54.760 that game are just like a straight up like it 1333 00:59:54.880 --> 00:59:57.719 just looks like a long piece of brown. It doesn't 1334 00:59:57.760 --> 01:00:00.840 have any snake qualities, but if you get close to it, 1335 01:00:00.840 --> 01:00:03.360 it will bite you and poison you. So they like 1336 01:00:03.440 --> 01:00:06.079 knew where to put their their energy and it was 1337 01:00:06.159 --> 01:00:09.320 not in snake animations. This thing looks they put. 1338 01:00:09.280 --> 01:00:12.239 In a bunch of chubby little dudes, and they put. 1339 01:00:12.079 --> 01:00:13.480 In a bunch of chubby little dudes. 1340 01:00:13.519 --> 01:00:17.199 There's hats that you get to wear, so a lot 1341 01:00:17.239 --> 01:00:19.719 of things to enjoy about the game. I also will 1342 01:00:19.719 --> 01:00:23.679 just say it's it's lovely to actually sit and rest 1343 01:00:23.800 --> 01:00:26.320 and look at the beautiful vistas the game puts you 1344 01:00:26.400 --> 01:00:29.679 in and have a cigarette. I just kept I kept 1345 01:00:29.760 --> 01:00:32.719 finding myself being like, what's time for lunch? A little 1346 01:00:32.760 --> 01:00:35.199 lunch break, right, like thiss have little cigarettes and like 1347 01:00:35.320 --> 01:00:37.639 enjoy the view, and we would we would. 1348 01:00:37.480 --> 01:00:38.000 Do that a lot. 1349 01:00:38.199 --> 01:00:41.719 The cooking in the game is very silly. So health 1350 01:00:41.840 --> 01:00:44.760 is you know, you can break bones falling and stuff 1351 01:00:44.800 --> 01:00:46.559 like that, and one way to get your health back 1352 01:00:46.639 --> 01:00:50.079 is to eat. So when you first start, there's these 1353 01:00:50.119 --> 01:00:53.360 frozen patties and if you come across to grill and 1354 01:00:53.360 --> 01:00:55.480 you light the grill, you put the frozen patties on 1355 01:00:55.559 --> 01:00:58.360 the grill, and after like I don't know, ten to 1356 01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:03.880 fifteen seconds literally goes and a full burger with lettuce, cheese, onion, 1357 01:01:03.920 --> 01:01:09.119 tomato comes out. It just kind of pops out and 1358 01:01:09.119 --> 01:01:11.119 then you go collect it and eat it. I think 1359 01:01:11.159 --> 01:01:14.199 it's it's whimsical and cheeky and fun, and I loved it. 1360 01:01:14.280 --> 01:01:16.559 Like some stuff I wish they did a little differently. 1361 01:01:17.400 --> 01:01:20.599 I find that most problems can be solved with the wench, 1362 01:01:21.159 --> 01:01:21.960 and I wish that. 1363 01:01:21.960 --> 01:01:24.920 They pushed the player to try other things. 1364 01:01:25.159 --> 01:01:27.480 I found that in almost every situation would be like, 1365 01:01:27.519 --> 01:01:29.559 we can winch our ways out of here, but. 1366 01:01:29.559 --> 01:01:32.159 It's more interesting to lose. 1367 01:01:32.280 --> 01:01:35.800 I think it's more interesting to be challenged with a 1368 01:01:35.840 --> 01:01:37.840 situation where you cannot use the wench and you have 1369 01:01:37.880 --> 01:01:40.320 to like brute force your way through it. The way 1370 01:01:40.360 --> 01:01:45.480 you lose this game is everyone dying or you're RV 1371 01:01:45.639 --> 01:01:49.639 taking so much damage that it is essentially broken, and 1372 01:01:49.679 --> 01:01:52.480 then you start back at your last save. But you 1373 01:01:52.519 --> 01:01:56.960 can repair your RV at every save location. I found 1374 01:01:57.039 --> 01:02:00.840 that very rarely did we destroy our and had to 1375 01:02:00.880 --> 01:02:02.880 start back at the save, and so I would have 1376 01:02:03.039 --> 01:02:07.360 liked the game to challenge us even more. But the 1377 01:02:07.400 --> 01:02:10.280 situations that it put you in is very whimsical. When 1378 01:02:10.320 --> 01:02:15.480 one of them was just a massive ramp that shot 1379 01:02:15.559 --> 01:02:17.360 up and then a huge gap to get to the 1380 01:02:17.400 --> 01:02:19.719 next area, and so it's like whoever's driving needs to 1381 01:02:19.719 --> 01:02:22.119 be able to get into fifth gear very quickly and 1382 01:02:22.239 --> 01:02:24.280 know what they're doing, and the rest of us are 1383 01:02:24.280 --> 01:02:27.159 just holding on for dear life. And we we had 1384 01:02:27.199 --> 01:02:29.239 a good time, Like the whole time we were laughing 1385 01:02:29.559 --> 01:02:32.360 and pushing each other off cliffs. You can also pick 1386 01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:34.440 each other up and throw throw each other, which I 1387 01:02:34.480 --> 01:02:37.320 think is fun. A great friends slop game, especially in 1388 01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:40.119 between rounds of Peak or some other crap that you'd 1389 01:02:40.119 --> 01:02:41.719 play with your friends. I think it's great. 1390 01:02:42.760 --> 01:02:43.960 I'm pro friend slot. 1391 01:02:44.559 --> 01:02:46.400 It's like seven dollars too. 1392 01:02:46.559 --> 01:02:48.800 I like bring up cost a lot with these things, 1393 01:02:48.840 --> 01:02:51.840 cause like when you talk about friend slop or like 1394 01:02:51.960 --> 01:02:53.920 just some random stuff that you're like, I don't know 1395 01:02:53.920 --> 01:02:55.480 if we're gonna love it, but it'd be nice to 1396 01:02:55.519 --> 01:02:59.119 try it. I think under fifteen is the amount of 1397 01:02:59.119 --> 01:03:01.800 money where it's like it's less than fifteen dollars, I'm 1398 01:03:01.800 --> 01:03:03.599 not going to worry about that. That's the cost of 1399 01:03:03.599 --> 01:03:06.280 a movie ticket. It's a cost of like a couple 1400 01:03:06.239 --> 01:03:08.360 of beers at a bar. I will do that for 1401 01:03:08.400 --> 01:03:10.599 an evening, and if we never play it again, that's 1402 01:03:10.639 --> 01:03:13.280 worth it. But when the game is like thirty forty bucks, 1403 01:03:13.280 --> 01:03:16.599 that's like, well better be good, you know, Like that's 1404 01:03:16.760 --> 01:03:19.400 that's like a lot of game dollars. 1405 01:03:19.400 --> 01:03:21.599 Especially games that like really kind of require you to 1406 01:03:21.639 --> 01:03:25.679 have friends to really enjoy, Like it's it's smart. 1407 01:03:25.920 --> 01:03:28.519 It's easier to say, hey, go come play this with 1408 01:03:28.519 --> 01:03:29.360 me at seven bucks. 1409 01:03:29.880 --> 01:03:31.639 Yeah, baby, that's right. 1410 01:03:31.800 --> 01:03:33.000 I think it's. 1411 01:03:32.599 --> 01:03:36.559 A very alluring price point for you to have one 1412 01:03:36.679 --> 01:03:38.679 night with your friends where you try and drive an 1413 01:03:38.760 --> 01:03:39.400 RV together. 1414 01:03:39.440 --> 01:03:40.679 And there's lots of surprises. 1415 01:03:40.719 --> 01:03:42.960 I don't want to like spoil them because if people 1416 01:03:42.960 --> 01:03:45.360 are like, oh, I'm kind of interested, the more I say, 1417 01:03:45.480 --> 01:03:48.679 the less don't look it up, because like it's the 1418 01:03:48.760 --> 01:03:51.800 fun part is discovering the stupid things that are in 1419 01:03:51.840 --> 01:03:52.280 this game. 1420 01:03:53.000 --> 01:03:54.239 That's a good point about the money too. 1421 01:03:54.280 --> 01:03:55.639 It's like, you know, if you're just trying to convince 1422 01:03:55.679 --> 01:03:57.039 friend to get it, it's like an uber to a 1423 01:03:57.079 --> 01:03:58.880 bar is going to cost way more than that. 1424 01:03:58.960 --> 01:04:00.760 You know, totally let's just hang out. 1425 01:04:01.559 --> 01:04:03.480 Yeah, I think, and I actually think that is what 1426 01:04:03.599 --> 01:04:05.159 happened and why I played it, is that we were 1427 01:04:05.199 --> 01:04:07.239 all going to go out and then it didn't work out, 1428 01:04:07.280 --> 01:04:09.840 and I was like, listen, I think it's eight bucks whatever, 1429 01:04:09.880 --> 01:04:13.719 it's seven ninety nine for seven dollars and ninety nine cents. 1430 01:04:14.119 --> 01:04:17.039 This is an easy game evening for you to have 1431 01:04:17.079 --> 01:04:19.840 fun all night and play this and enjoy it.

You're Oh, I know how to spell everything, 1448 01:05:22.960 --> 01:05:24.360 but I don't know how to say anything. 1449 01:05:25.920 --> 01:05:29.880 That's a good Dan impression. 1450 01:05:31.440 --> 01:05:40.960 Oh, I got a cool hardware news for you. Uh, 1451 01:05:41.239 --> 01:05:45.639 speaking of Dan, Yeah, you played Arc Raiders that with 1452 01:05:45.679 --> 01:05:46.400 Giant Bomb. Folks. 1453 01:05:46.480 --> 01:05:49.239 Yes, I've been playing that a lot with different groups, 1454 01:05:49.239 --> 01:05:51.960 played with Giant Bomb, played with Bomb, play it with 1455 01:05:52.000 --> 01:05:56.119 my sister Kayla. Uh. It is a fascinating game. I've 1456 01:05:56.159 --> 01:05:59.119 never played an extraction shooter before. Every time I've read 1457 01:05:59.119 --> 01:06:03.559 about them, I have been, I guess, more disinterested than 1458 01:06:04.280 --> 01:06:06.800 actively turned off at the idea. It's just like, oh, okay, 1459 01:06:06.800 --> 01:06:08.480 so you go into a multiplayer thing and you're just 1460 01:06:08.519 --> 01:06:10.599 getting loot and then you can die and lose everything, 1461 01:06:10.639 --> 01:06:13.159 and it's like that doesn't sound appealing to me. Yeah, 1462 01:06:13.440 --> 01:06:15.960 this one just kind of like it seems like this 1463 01:06:16.039 --> 01:06:19.760 is the one that made it accessible to kind of mainstream, 1464 01:06:19.880 --> 01:06:22.960 you know, or skeptical people of the whole extraction shooter thing. 1465 01:06:23.440 --> 01:06:27.000 It is close enough to like a pubg or a 1466 01:06:27.000 --> 01:06:30.760 hell diver's experience, but also has like I can't speak 1467 01:06:30.760 --> 01:06:33.079 to other extraction shooters because this is my first one, 1468 01:06:33.119 --> 01:06:37.000 but I do understand what it is offering that is 1469 01:06:37.199 --> 01:06:40.320 very different than other games of the silk, and that's 1470 01:06:41.360 --> 01:06:46.559 it's the interactions with other players. Because it's pvpv so 1471 01:06:46.679 --> 01:06:48.920 it's like the main things you're kind of running into 1472 01:06:49.000 --> 01:06:52.119 and actively getting into gunfights with are arcs, which are 1473 01:06:52.440 --> 01:06:55.400 these floating things. It's hornets and wasps. Basically these drones 1474 01:06:55.400 --> 01:06:57.280 and stuffing can shoot out their rotors and stuff. And 1475 01:06:57.280 --> 01:06:59.599 it's even those encounters are really cool, Like there's a 1476 01:06:59.599 --> 01:07:01.599 lot of really animations and everything and all these different 1477 01:07:01.760 --> 01:07:04.639 kind of robot arc characters. But then there are also 1478 01:07:04.760 --> 01:07:08.880 other human you know, if you do solos, you're you're 1479 01:07:08.920 --> 01:07:10.920 going to run into solos, you know, or you play 1480 01:07:10.920 --> 01:07:14.000 with up to three, and it does very much change 1481 01:07:14.119 --> 01:07:16.360 the way the games play out where it's like if 1482 01:07:16.360 --> 01:07:22.800 you're playing trios, they tend to have more violent encounters 1483 01:07:22.840 --> 01:07:25.360 with other players. I don't know if that's just by 1484 01:07:25.519 --> 01:07:28.320 nature of like, okay, people getting a group of three 1485 01:07:28.320 --> 01:07:30.719 together more kind of hardcore about this, or there's more 1486 01:07:30.760 --> 01:07:34.119 kind of tension because there's three people here. But I've 1487 01:07:34.119 --> 01:07:36.800 seen enough and played enough like solo as well ay 1488 01:07:36.840 --> 01:07:39.000 and duos to know that like it kind of decreases 1489 01:07:39.039 --> 01:07:41.360 the amount of aggression as you're doing that, because like 1490 01:07:41.519 --> 01:07:44.880 Bonk plays largely solo, and I I've watched her play 1491 01:07:44.880 --> 01:07:47.000 a lot, and it's a lot of like you know, 1492 01:07:47.039 --> 01:07:49.440 you run into a person there, and you know you 1493 01:07:49.519 --> 01:07:51.480 turn on the microphone, it's got prox chat and everything. 1494 01:07:51.519 --> 01:07:53.440 But hey, I'm a friendly. Oh don't shoot, No, I'm 1495 01:07:53.480 --> 01:07:55.760 a friendly and like oh oh yeah, okay cool. Do 1496 01:07:55.760 --> 01:07:57.280 you see this over here, like oh yeah, I tried 1497 01:07:57.280 --> 01:07:59.519 to kill that thing or like actually having these moments 1498 01:07:59.519 --> 01:08:01.880 of like hue when interaction and stuff, and then they 1499 01:08:01.920 --> 01:08:03.719 don't kill each other. And then there are times too 1500 01:08:03.760 --> 01:08:07.119 where it's like, oh, okay, you went to extraction extract 1501 01:08:07.199 --> 01:08:08.920 and at the very end, somebody, like right before the 1502 01:08:08.960 --> 01:08:11.559 elevator game kills you even though they told you that 1503 01:08:11.599 --> 01:08:14.119 they're friendly and stuff, you approach with their gun out 1504 01:08:14.119 --> 01:08:15.679 and stuff like those moments. 1505 01:08:15.360 --> 01:08:17.239 Attentions of the end of which thing. 1506 01:08:17.840 --> 01:08:20.279 Yeah yeah, But it's also prone to like, God, we 1507 01:08:20.319 --> 01:08:23.479 did a stream. I implore anyone to check this out. 1508 01:08:23.720 --> 01:08:26.439 It was unprofessional Fridays with me, Jeff Grubb, and Kayla, 1509 01:08:26.560 --> 01:08:29.439 my sister, playing and it was the funniest fucking thing 1510 01:08:29.680 --> 01:08:33.119 I have played in so long because Kayla, I am 1511 01:08:33.199 --> 01:08:35.039 trying to be the voice of reason here and I'm 1512 01:08:35.039 --> 01:08:36.520 trying to like approach other people like. 1513 01:08:36.399 --> 01:08:38.720 Oh, we're cool, We're cool. Hey, hey, no, no, let's work together. 1514 01:08:38.960 --> 01:08:39.800 Do you want some stuff here? 1515 01:08:39.840 --> 01:08:44.159 Go ahead and Kayla is just screaming threats at them 1516 01:08:44.479 --> 01:08:48.560 and just being the most vulgar, just talking about how 1517 01:08:48.600 --> 01:08:51.159 she says, I'm gonna full frontal your ass or I'm 1518 01:08:51.159 --> 01:08:54.479 gonna be your stepmom's mom. Like she doesn't even make sense, 1519 01:08:54.920 --> 01:08:57.279 but like she was, like she would just get in 1520 01:08:57.319 --> 01:08:59.760 people's faces and scream so much that most of these 1521 01:09:00.439 --> 01:09:02.800 the other teams just ran away because I didn't want 1522 01:09:02.840 --> 01:09:07.399 to deal with her. SOB would be like apologizing for 1523 01:09:07.880 --> 01:09:08.880 I'm sorry about my sister. 1524 01:09:08.960 --> 01:09:10.840 I'm sorry. No, no, no, she's not gonna hurt you. She's 1525 01:09:10.840 --> 01:09:11.359 not gonna hurt you. 1526 01:09:11.479 --> 01:09:13.680 And people are just taking off and like leaving loot 1527 01:09:13.760 --> 01:09:15.399 for us because they were scared of my sister. 1528 01:09:15.880 --> 01:09:19.039 So that's unreal. She's the what's the character and the 1529 01:09:19.079 --> 01:09:22.319 wild card character in Heat at the beginning? Oh uh oh, 1530 01:09:22.359 --> 01:09:23.159 what's his name? Yeah? 1531 01:09:23.239 --> 01:09:25.560 Not Wayne, not Wayne grow Wayne grow Yeah. 1532 01:09:25.600 --> 01:09:27.319 Yeah, she's that, and it's just like what she is. 1533 01:09:27.399 --> 01:09:31.680 Just yeah, it's so many different types of gameplay you 1534 01:09:31.680 --> 01:09:33.840 can get between, like just that peaceful kind of looting 1535 01:09:33.840 --> 01:09:36.920 and extracting of a solo game, but it's also really 1536 01:09:36.960 --> 01:09:38.880 good for like a I've been playing on PC and 1537 01:09:38.920 --> 01:09:41.880 PS five. It is probably the best use case I've 1538 01:09:41.920 --> 01:09:44.560 ever seen for the PS five mike situation, where it's 1539 01:09:44.560 --> 01:09:46.960 like you've got the mute button right there. You've got 1540 01:09:47.000 --> 01:09:49.479 like this game doesn't require if you're playing solos, you 1541 01:09:49.560 --> 01:09:52.039 don't need a headset on. Like I'm someone who really 1542 01:09:52.039 --> 01:09:54.640 doesn't like wearing headsets when I'm playing games. So it's 1543 01:09:54.680 --> 01:09:56.239 just the thing where it's like, oh, you see someone 1544 01:09:56.279 --> 01:09:58.600 in the distance or someone in the same building as you, 1545 01:09:58.600 --> 01:10:00.800 you just unmute. You're like, hey, I'm a friend, Like no, yeah, 1546 01:10:00.800 --> 01:10:02.600 go ahead, there's some loop back there. Okay, cool, see 1547 01:10:02.640 --> 01:10:04.319 all right, don't shoot, you know, like and then new 1548 01:10:04.399 --> 01:10:06.840 mute again. So it's it's really really good. 1549 01:10:06.680 --> 01:10:08.680 For that yeah again. 1550 01:10:08.760 --> 01:10:10.800 Sometimes you will have like you know, doing a trios thing. 1551 01:10:10.800 --> 01:10:12.880 You run into another trio and then it's all six 1552 01:10:12.920 --> 01:10:16.760 of you fighting against some huge you know, this ambastion creature, 1553 01:10:16.880 --> 01:10:19.600 this mother like all these these leapers, these big robots 1554 01:10:19.640 --> 01:10:22.279 and stuff like that, and it's you know, it's the 1555 01:10:22.319 --> 01:10:25.319 best case of like emergent gameplay I feel, where it's 1556 01:10:25.319 --> 01:10:28.159 like everyone's kind of getting their own stories and it's 1557 01:10:28.239 --> 01:10:30.359 really unlike things you would see and like, you know, 1558 01:10:30.359 --> 01:10:32.520 a pubg a Fortnite, a hell divers. You know, you 1559 01:10:32.560 --> 01:10:36.239 see something, you're shooting it. It's it's more nuanced here 1560 01:10:36.279 --> 01:10:36.960 in a really cool way. 1561 01:10:37.039 --> 01:10:37.560 Yeah. 1562 01:10:37.680 --> 01:10:41.000 Yeah, the social experimentation there is like the compelling thing. 1563 01:10:41.000 --> 01:10:46.239 I think technically the ability to do that and escape 1564 01:10:46.239 --> 01:10:50.840 from Tarkov exists, but I would say percentage wise ninety 1565 01:10:50.880 --> 01:10:53.000 percent of the time in Tarkov you're you're fighting the 1566 01:10:53.000 --> 01:10:56.800 other people, like right away. The fact that they created 1567 01:10:56.800 --> 01:10:58.600 this game in this world in which it kind of 1568 01:10:59.039 --> 01:11:02.720 you can that's an option to be not pacifist, but 1569 01:11:02.760 --> 01:11:06.439 like team up is really cool, and yeah, that's I agree. 1570 01:11:06.479 --> 01:11:08.680 I think this is it's a pretty accessible take on 1571 01:11:08.920 --> 01:11:12.560 the genre, especially compared to some of the more hardcore ones. Yeah. 1572 01:11:12.600 --> 01:11:13.920 I can't tell you the amount of times of like 1573 01:11:13.920 --> 01:11:15.239 turn to bonk and be like wow, I've never had 1574 01:11:15.239 --> 01:11:16.600 an experience like that where it's like me and Bank 1575 01:11:16.600 --> 01:11:18.359 will be playing together and we'll run into like another 1576 01:11:18.399 --> 01:11:20.039 couple and we'll just like be like, oh shit, are 1577 01:11:20.039 --> 01:11:21.479 we about to die? And then we talked for a 1578 01:11:21.520 --> 01:11:22.800 second and then we're like, oh, now we're just kind 1579 01:11:22.800 --> 01:11:24.720 of working together and stuff and like oh cool. Then 1580 01:11:24.760 --> 01:11:27.039 we go our separate ways and everything's like, that's fucking cool. 1581 01:11:27.079 --> 01:11:28.399 I've never had anything quite like that. 1582 01:11:29.479 --> 01:11:33.039 Yeah, gamifying trust is a really cool thing or distrust, 1583 01:11:33.399 --> 01:11:37.199 like the I guess among us sort of traded on 1584 01:11:37.239 --> 01:11:39.239 that when it was blowing up in a different way 1585 01:11:39.279 --> 01:11:43.520 in a social, like purely social situation. This the array 1586 01:11:43.560 --> 01:11:48.119 of objectives that you have to complete or the options 1587 01:11:48.119 --> 01:11:50.520 to complete, and like the a number of factors that 1588 01:11:50.560 --> 01:11:52.640 can happen once you do team up can just make 1589 01:11:52.640 --> 01:11:55.239 the tension either escalate or they can maybe mitigate it 1590 01:11:55.279 --> 01:11:57.439 in some respects because then you get through a bunch 1591 01:11:57.479 --> 01:11:59.479 of tough fights, but you still have to extract with 1592 01:11:59.520 --> 01:12:01.800 those people, and sometimes that at the end is like. 1593 01:12:03.079 --> 01:12:06.800 Of just there, like yeah, you all have guns, you're 1594 01:12:06.800 --> 01:12:07.479 all just waiting. 1595 01:12:07.600 --> 01:12:10.279 Yeah, you can get like a genuine I felt a 1596 01:12:10.319 --> 01:12:14.399 genuine sense of betrayal playing that game with just a stranger.

So that stuff is 1626 01:13:29.600 --> 01:13:32.399 kind of laborious in between, but I don't know the 1627 01:13:32.439 --> 01:13:34.960 special moments while you're you know, in the shit are 1628 01:13:35.359 --> 01:13:35.680 worth it. 1629 01:13:35.720 --> 01:13:38.800 I think, yeah, I don't want to forgive it for 1630 01:13:38.880 --> 01:13:41.359 the inventory just by just because that is a big 1631 01:13:41.359 --> 01:13:45.960 thing in extraction shooters. Because I agree, I do think 1632 01:13:46.000 --> 01:13:47.640 they a lot of the new I think a lot 1633 01:13:47.680 --> 01:13:50.279 of the loop could be more interesting, more like compelling, 1634 01:13:50.359 --> 01:13:54.920 just on at face at first glance, and I would 1635 01:13:54.920 --> 01:13:58.600 say like they do have some good quality of life 1636 01:13:58.640 --> 01:14:01.239 things for sure, in terms of of how to rearrange 1637 01:14:01.239 --> 01:14:04.479 your inventory and stacking certain items and whatnot, but they 1638 01:14:04.520 --> 01:14:06.359 still definitely have a waste to go with that, because yeah, 1639 01:14:06.399 --> 01:14:10.319 it's not are you playing mouse and keyboard or controller? 1640 01:14:10.720 --> 01:14:13.720 Me to myself, I'm mainly playing on PS five, but 1641 01:14:13.880 --> 01:14:16.920 I cried a little bit of PC. It's kind of 1642 01:14:16.960 --> 01:14:18.319 I kind of been doing a little mouse and keyboard 1643 01:14:18.359 --> 01:14:19.880 for inventory management and I switched to control. 1644 01:14:20.000 --> 01:14:22.039 Yeah, the actual game. That's what I was going to recommend, 1645 01:14:22.079 --> 01:14:25.600 because like on PC, those games are so much more 1646 01:14:25.640 --> 01:14:29.119 doable between the actual runs because you're you can just 1647 01:14:29.159 --> 01:14:31.960 click and drag stuff right click, left click, et cetera. Scroll. 1648 01:14:33.880 --> 01:14:36.159 I don't know. Time tails all is time that I 1649 01:14:36.159 --> 01:14:38.880 think keyboard mouse are better for that kind of stuff. 1650 01:14:38.920 --> 01:14:41.840 But which to go back, I'm very excited to hear 1651 01:14:41.880 --> 01:14:44.359 what you think once the Steam machine and controller come out, 1652 01:14:44.359 --> 01:14:46.560 because that, like that was the best like mouse on 1653 01:14:46.600 --> 01:14:49.000 a TV experience I've ever had by a long shot. 1654 01:14:49.359 --> 01:14:51.760 Oh, speaking of that, I tried the mouse mode of 1655 01:14:51.800 --> 01:14:55.039 a switch to. I did not love it. It's I 1656 01:14:55.079 --> 01:14:57.359 don't know when I would actually just use that, Like 1657 01:14:57.479 --> 01:15:01.000 I'm not going to play Cyberpunk or I'm not gonna. 1658 01:15:00.760 --> 01:15:03.000 Play Metric Prime. It's the thing where you know, by 1659 01:15:03.039 --> 01:15:04.880 the time Switch Too is done, there will be seven 1660 01:15:04.920 --> 01:15:06.439 games that fucking utilize it. 1661 01:15:06.840 --> 01:15:07.039 Yeah. 1662 01:15:07.199 --> 01:15:09.880 One of them was Mario Paint on Nso you know it's. 1663 01:15:09.680 --> 01:15:11.920 Yeah, yeah, no, But that's good to hear that. 1664 01:15:11.960 --> 01:15:16.359 The is it an accessibility thing where it's opening it 1665 01:15:16.439 --> 01:15:17.079 up for. 1666 01:15:18.760 --> 01:15:21.439 It could be in other ways to utilize it. 1667 01:15:21.479 --> 01:15:24.760 To me, like that has value right for other people 1668 01:15:24.840 --> 01:15:27.520 to be able to be able to play in different ways. 1669 01:15:27.720 --> 01:15:30.960 I just don't see a good reason that I would 1670 01:15:31.039 --> 01:15:31.399 use it. 1671 01:15:32.119 --> 01:15:34.640 I thought with the Switch Too. I've thought about it 1672 01:15:34.640 --> 01:15:36.520 in that like I think it'd be cool like on 1673 01:15:36.560 --> 01:15:38.560 a plane and if I want to play Metroid and 1674 01:15:38.600 --> 01:15:40.960 like set it up, you know, use the kickstand on 1675 01:15:41.000 --> 01:15:42.840 the tray and then play with mouse and keyboard. I 1676 01:15:42.840 --> 01:15:45.079 would at least try that, but I could also see 1677 01:15:45.119 --> 01:15:46.840 myself doing it for fifteen minutes and being like, oh, 1678 01:15:46.920 --> 01:15:47.640 play with controller. 1679 01:15:48.399 --> 01:15:51.399 Yeah, I don't know what world it would be more 1680 01:15:51.439 --> 01:15:52.039 than a gimmick. 1681 01:15:52.399 --> 01:15:55.479 Yeah for me, but dragon Drag. We're all playing drag 1682 01:15:55.520 --> 01:15:57.640 and drive esports, right, wheelchair basketball? 1683 01:15:59.520 --> 01:16:04.840 No are you playing that? No, no one's playing it. 1684 01:16:07.520 --> 01:16:09.880 But we are playing Simpsons Fortnite. 1685 01:16:10.720 --> 01:16:13.279 Yeah, married did you check this out or just no? 1686 01:16:13.399 --> 01:16:19.000 But I'm curious. Oh, because obviously it's Simpson's I know 1687 01:16:19.079 --> 01:16:20.720 it's just gonna make funy transition. 1688 01:16:21.279 --> 01:16:23.199 No, I didn't have a transition, Dan. 1689 01:16:24.680 --> 01:16:27.319 Yeah, I'm like really curious about it because I love 1690 01:16:27.479 --> 01:16:32.119 the Simpsons game and I always thought that the Simpsons. 1691 01:16:32.000 --> 01:16:34.960 Is such a good Uh. 1692 01:16:34.319 --> 01:16:37.399 It's just a really it's a really good thing to 1693 01:16:37.479 --> 01:16:40.079 have as a video game format because it's so playful 1694 01:16:40.079 --> 01:16:42.319 and stupid. But I don't know how they did. 1695 01:16:42.199 --> 01:16:45.560 It historically, Like they have really run the gamut between 1696 01:16:45.640 --> 01:16:47.760 like some of the worst games I've ever played are 1697 01:16:47.800 --> 01:16:51.760 Simpsons games and then like some pretty good experiences. I 1698 01:16:51.800 --> 01:16:53.880 won't say, like I don't think there's an all time 1699 01:16:53.920 --> 01:16:56.239 great since like the Arcade game. Yes, everyone has fun 1700 01:16:56.279 --> 01:16:59.119 experiences of I don't know, you play with Infinite Quarters 1701 01:16:59.159 --> 01:17:00.399 or whatever. Un Free played it's. 1702 01:17:00.239 --> 01:17:02.560 The pretty base one, the driving one. 1703 01:17:02.560 --> 01:17:04.479 So that's the hit and run. I never went all 1704 01:17:04.520 --> 01:17:06.880 the way through it, I know. I don't know why 1705 01:17:06.960 --> 01:17:09.319 I didn't. Like, I loved it was in game PPS 1706 01:17:09.319 --> 01:17:11.800 two and every I just never played it, I guess 1707 01:17:11.840 --> 01:17:15.680 not Virtual Bart Bart versus Space Mutants, all these things. 1708 01:17:15.800 --> 01:17:18.279 Even the Simpsons game for the movie, like Virtual Bart 1709 01:17:18.279 --> 01:17:20.399 had the egg throwing thing, that tomato thing was good, 1710 01:17:21.359 --> 01:17:24.039 but like I always wanted to love Simpsons games more 1711 01:17:24.079 --> 01:17:26.760 than I did. I remember there was a PC game 1712 01:17:26.960 --> 01:17:30.359 called Virtual Springfield, and I hesitated to even call it 1713 01:17:30.359 --> 01:17:31.840 a game. It came on a CD that looked like 1714 01:17:31.840 --> 01:17:34.560 a Homer donut and you put it in and it 1715 01:17:34.640 --> 01:17:37.840 was just the most fucking like mid to late nineties 1716 01:17:37.880 --> 01:17:41.159 CD ROM thing of just kind of like it wasn't FMV. 1717 01:17:41.840 --> 01:17:44.520 It was just you could kind of walk through Springfield 1718 01:17:44.600 --> 01:17:47.159 like it was a mist game or something, and just 1719 01:17:47.199 --> 01:17:49.880 the idea of like exploring that space that I loved 1720 01:17:49.880 --> 01:17:51.960 so much from the show, being like, oh wow, I 1721 01:17:52.000 --> 01:17:54.560 never thought about how like, to get from the Simpsons 1722 01:17:54.640 --> 01:17:56.479 house to most Haven you had to go down here. 1723 01:17:56.560 --> 01:17:58.079 I didn't know this was by hero. Oh that's what 1724 01:17:58.159 --> 01:17:59.720 the nuclear plant is. And I get to walk around 1725 01:17:59.760 --> 01:18:03.039 like that was such a novelty and I feel like, again, 1726 01:18:03.079 --> 01:18:05.520 not having played a Hit and Run or road Rage 1727 01:18:05.560 --> 01:18:08.359 or whatever, I had never really experienced that in the 1728 01:18:08.399 --> 01:18:11.359 game as well as Fortnite. Here it's Fortnite. First of all, 1729 01:18:11.399 --> 01:18:13.199 the opening, like when the you know, the bus is 1730 01:18:13.239 --> 01:18:15.640 going through, it's the full on Simpsons going through the 1731 01:18:15.640 --> 01:18:18.000 clouds thing, but it says like Battle Royale and you 1732 01:18:18.079 --> 01:18:20.880 drop down out of the it's duff is slurp in this. 1733 01:18:20.960 --> 01:18:23.119 But all the logo and everything looks the same, and 1734 01:18:23.159 --> 01:18:26.319 it's just okay, Well, there's the power plant, there's Burns's mansion, 1735 01:18:26.479 --> 01:18:29.600 there's downtown, there's the Jebediah Springfield in the City Hall 1736 01:18:29.680 --> 01:18:33.399 and everything.

It all looks just like it looks like 1739 01:18:40.199 --> 01:18:43.640 the Simpsons, but you're also you know, you're playing a 1740 01:18:43.680 --> 01:18:46.960 solid snake and running into Flanders's house and fucking Goku 1741 01:18:47.039 --> 01:18:48.920 comes in you gotta shoot him with a gun.

So I was solid snake 1749 01:19:05.720 --> 01:19:07.880 sitting on the couch with Kayla who is vegeta and 1750 01:19:07.920 --> 01:19:09.960 we're doing like a couch gag together, and like Marge 1751 01:19:10.039 --> 01:19:11.960 is walking around. You can talk to them and get 1752 01:19:12.239 --> 01:19:14.560 missions from them, and there's so many gags, like the 1753 01:19:14.600 --> 01:19:17.720 people who worked on this so clearly understood, you know, 1754 01:19:17.760 --> 01:19:20.479 the Simpsons and everything where it's like it's I'm sure 1755 01:19:20.520 --> 01:19:22.920 there are a million gags and stuff that happened in 1756 01:19:23.000 --> 01:19:26.239 seasons twelve through fucking six hundred whatever they're on now, 1757 01:19:26.479 --> 01:19:29.079 but it's going for the ones where it's like, Okay, 1758 01:19:29.199 --> 01:19:31.680 you see a rake on the ground and it's like, 1759 01:19:32.560 --> 01:19:34.119 I bet they do the thing, and then you walk 1760 01:19:34.199 --> 01:19:37.520 up and the rake happens, and it's like all these 1761 01:19:37.560 --> 01:19:40.439 little bits and jokes and everything, and Blinky the Three 1762 01:19:40.479 --> 01:19:42.239 Eyed Fish is one of the items that gives you 1763 01:19:42.279 --> 01:19:45.039 a boost and stuff, and like yeah, yeah, so yeah. 1764 01:19:45.039 --> 01:19:46.640 Instead of Doff, it's just Slurp. So you get like 1765 01:19:46.680 --> 01:19:48.600 six packs of Slurp and stuff like that and it 1766 01:19:48.600 --> 01:19:52.439 gives you boosts and it's just incredibly well put together 1767 01:19:52.520 --> 01:19:55.760 stuff that like, as a Fortnite fan, this all works 1768 01:19:55.800 --> 01:19:58.720 great as a Battle Royale game, and as a Simpsons fan, 1769 01:19:58.960 --> 01:20:01.359 it is such a good love letter to the Simpsons. Like, 1770 01:20:01.800 --> 01:20:04.760 it's hard to say that it's not the best Simpsons 1771 01:20:04.880 --> 01:20:07.399 video game experience ever. Again, I haven't played Hit and Run, 1772 01:20:08.399 --> 01:20:11.520 but it's it's it's perfect. It's so much better and 1773 01:20:11.760 --> 01:20:13.680 bigger in scope than I could have expected. The whole 1774 01:20:13.680 --> 01:20:14.760 fucking map is just spring. 1775 01:20:15.560 --> 01:20:17.520 Here's my question. I don't know if you two like 1776 01:20:17.560 --> 01:20:21.880 have a definitive answer. My impression is that the crossover 1777 01:20:21.920 --> 01:20:26.800 between Simpsons fans and Fortnite demographics would would not have 1778 01:20:26.880 --> 01:20:27.279 been that. 1779 01:20:27.840 --> 01:20:31.680 Huge, right because the Simpsons isn't really hot now and fortant. 1780 01:20:31.640 --> 01:20:33.720 Yeah, I was just surprised. Like everybody talked to you 1781 01:20:33.760 --> 01:20:36.439 says the same same thing.

The fact that it 1805 01:21:35.479 --> 01:21:38.159 is still a really good video game, and it is 1806 01:21:38.279 --> 01:21:43.279 just objectively the wildest roster of IP in video game history. 1807 01:21:43.279 --> 01:21:45.119 It's like not even fucking cloakse you know. 1808 01:21:46.239 --> 01:21:47.880 Yeah, no, I've I've heard the same thing.

I don't know the her knowledge 1812 01:21:56.760 --> 01:21:59.199 of the Simpsons, but I also imagine there's a decent 1813 01:21:59.199 --> 01:22:01.079 amount of parents that are like showing their kids stuff 1814 01:22:01.079 --> 01:22:02.279 in there too, which is kind of cool. 1815 01:22:02.840 --> 01:22:05.199 Yeah yeah, I mean yeah, Ellen Ripley and stuff like that. 1816 01:22:05.199 --> 01:22:06.800 That'd be so cool.

Ball x Pit is a game I 1857 01:23:47.680 --> 01:23:50.600 heard other people talking about, and so I was like, 1858 01:23:50.880 --> 01:23:57.199 I am susceptible to impressionism. I needed to know about 1859 01:23:57.239 --> 01:23:57.600 this game. 1860 01:23:58.439 --> 01:23:59.640 I think I got influence. 1861 01:24:00.840 --> 01:24:02.920 Okay, gotcha interesting. 1862 01:24:03.319 --> 01:24:05.960 I don't think impressionism is the right use of that word, 1863 01:24:06.199 --> 01:24:09.359 but I got a ball pit. 1864 01:24:09.600 --> 01:24:13.439 This is a. 1865 01:24:11.920 --> 01:24:16.680 Vampire Survivors meets Balls with a Z. If you ever 1866 01:24:16.720 --> 01:24:18.119 played that on your phone? 1867 01:24:18.319 --> 01:24:19.079 Balls with a Z? 1868 01:24:19.319 --> 01:24:21.199 Wait, you're not talking about balls three D for the 1869 01:24:21.239 --> 01:24:22.840 Second Genesis and Superintendo? 1870 01:24:22.920 --> 01:24:23.159 Are you? 1871 01:24:23.399 --> 01:24:24.279 Balls three D with a Z? 1872 01:24:25.039 --> 01:24:28.960 Wait?

Kind of like brick Breaker. 1880 01:24:47.760 --> 01:24:51.079 But like, okay, it's a bit more. 1881 01:24:52.880 --> 01:24:55.880 Strategic. I feel like brick breakers just like, hurry up 1882 01:24:55.880 --> 01:24:56.239 and shoot? 1883 01:24:56.359 --> 01:24:58.720 Uh more than balls? Three D The Battle of the Balls. 1884 01:24:58.920 --> 01:25:02.119 I'm yeah, more than the balls THREDY the Battle of 1885 01:25:02.159 --> 01:25:03.560 the Balls. 1886 01:25:02.960 --> 01:25:06.960 With a Z. It's with a Z. I I'm having 1887 01:25:06.960 --> 01:25:09.159 one of those moments where I I know for one 1888 01:25:09.199 --> 01:25:12.880 hundred for a fact that I have not accessed this 1889 01:25:13.239 --> 01:25:17.880 wrinkle in my brain in probably thirty years. Is I 1890 01:25:17.880 --> 01:25:22.800 don't think something yes from or yeah. I don't know 1891 01:25:22.840 --> 01:25:24.800 what emotion this is. There's got to be a German 1892 01:25:24.840 --> 01:25:27.520 phrase for it. Sorry, but ball x pit. 1893 01:25:28.960 --> 01:25:36.520 Okay, so half Vampire Survivors, half brick breaker balls, phone balls, 1894 01:25:37.359 --> 01:25:41.079 phone balls. So you are auto shooting. You can turn 1895 01:25:41.119 --> 01:25:43.560 it off into like manual shooting. But I don't know 1896 01:25:43.560 --> 01:25:46.159 why you would do that. Well, yeah, I don't know. 1897 01:25:46.279 --> 01:25:51.279 And so auto shooting. As you collect the balls from 1898 01:25:51.319 --> 01:25:54.239 the things that you have killed, you level up with 1899 01:25:54.359 --> 01:25:57.800 three options. This is very Vampire Survivors, right, And then 1900 01:25:57.840 --> 01:26:02.479 you continue to shoot. But the macayx of the pit 1901 01:26:03.000 --> 01:26:06.880 is what's interesting is like they're constantly shooting stuff at 1902 01:26:06.920 --> 01:26:10.119 you and you have to again strategically try and get 1903 01:26:10.159 --> 01:26:12.000 it in an area where the ball is just going 1904 01:26:12.079 --> 01:26:14.279 to go crazy and bounce back and forth. 1905 01:26:14.399 --> 01:26:16.359 All inside of this space. 1906 01:26:17.239 --> 01:26:18.039 Doing that is like. 1907 01:26:18.079 --> 01:26:20.479 Quite rewarding and feels really good. 1908 01:26:20.920 --> 01:26:23.920 And then for some other reason, when you've finished the 1909 01:26:24.000 --> 01:26:25.880 game and beaten it, and that feels really good. When 1910 01:26:25.880 --> 01:26:27.159 you get all the way to the end and you've 1911 01:26:27.199 --> 01:26:30.199 killed the ball. I think there's two mini bosses that 1912 01:26:30.239 --> 01:26:33.000 you complete, whether different challenges. It ends in a boss fight. 1913 01:26:33.159 --> 01:26:36.000 It's a timeline on the side that shows you correct. 1914 01:26:35.680 --> 01:26:37.439 That tells you when you're complaint, and when you finally 1915 01:26:37.479 --> 01:26:40.760 beat it, and that felt really good. It unlocks new levels, 1916 01:26:41.079 --> 01:26:43.720 new characters. That's what's actually interesting about it. It's not 1917 01:26:43.760 --> 01:26:45.720 just beating the game. It's beating the game on like 1918 01:26:45.800 --> 01:26:48.199 different character sets that are a lot more difficult, on 1919 01:26:48.239 --> 01:26:51.039 different terrain sets that are difficult. And then it has 1920 01:26:51.039 --> 01:26:53.680 another area that's just straight up farming, and that was 1921 01:26:53.920 --> 01:26:56.000 very different to me, and I was very shocked by this. 1922 01:26:56.119 --> 01:27:00.680 You like unlock spaces, you plant stuff like wheat and stone, 1923 01:27:00.840 --> 01:27:03.359 you know, plant stone, but you I don't have to 1924 01:27:03.520 --> 01:27:06.520 I don't have to explain myself to you, sweet and 1925 01:27:06.560 --> 01:27:09.880 wood and stone. And then you send your little brick 1926 01:27:09.920 --> 01:27:14.720 breaker guys out on an angle and they they farm. 1927 01:27:15.399 --> 01:27:17.760 It's like there's a timer for like your your farm 1928 01:27:17.920 --> 01:27:19.920 or your harvesting time and stuff like that. So like 1929 01:27:20.119 --> 01:27:21.600 there are ways that you can like, Okay, I need 1930 01:27:21.640 --> 01:27:22.920 to get a bunch of weeks, so I'm gonna make 1931 01:27:22.920 --> 01:27:26.359 this corridor here and they're back here. And yeah, I 1932 01:27:26.399 --> 01:27:29.039 really liked that idea. I thought that was a fun thing, cause, 1933 01:27:29.039 --> 01:27:31.319 like I really did like just the the actual like missions, 1934 01:27:31.399 --> 01:27:34.239 like the arcade style, just because they do clever things 1935 01:27:34.279 --> 01:27:35.960 with that. Like there's the one character that's the two 1936 01:27:36.079 --> 01:27:38.159 characters and they kind of like miror each other's balls 1937 01:27:38.159 --> 01:27:38.720 and they. 1938 01:27:38.680 --> 01:27:41.600 Silhouette and there's one person that only shoots balls from 1939 01:27:41.640 --> 01:27:46.399 the back, and so you're constantly where you're aiming is 1940 01:27:46.479 --> 01:27:51.319 actually backwards because everything shoots from the behind of the game. 1941 01:27:51.720 --> 01:27:54.800 Yeah, and it's got that Vampire Survivors thing where it's like, Okay, 1942 01:27:54.840 --> 01:27:57.079 I've got this build going where it's like I've got 1943 01:27:57.079 --> 01:27:59.439 these ghost balls that like will go through things, and 1944 01:27:59.479 --> 01:28:01.039 so I'm when I try to get all these things, 1945 01:28:01.079 --> 01:28:04.319 like of all different powers together that work together. Well. 1946 01:28:04.319 --> 01:28:06.479 So it's very Vampire Survivors in that way, which I'm 1947 01:28:06.479 --> 01:28:09.159 a huge sucker for. And I do like base building 1948 01:28:09.159 --> 01:28:11.319 stuff too, and I like Rogue Light stuff, so like 1949 01:28:11.359 --> 01:28:13.960 it was saying all the right stuff for me, and 1950 01:28:14.000 --> 01:28:15.840 then when I got to the base building stuff. I 1951 01:28:15.880 --> 01:28:19.039 still like this game a lot, but the base building 1952 01:28:19.079 --> 01:28:22.439 thing just didn't. I was I've never gotten excited about 1953 01:28:22.439 --> 01:28:23.920 it when I got back, like I think a great 1954 01:28:24.039 --> 01:28:27.039 Rogue Light is like you know, a Hades or something. 1955 01:28:27.079 --> 01:28:28.760 Where I get back to the hub and I'm like, okay, 1956 01:28:28.880 --> 01:28:30.039 let me go, like who can. 1957 01:28:29.920 --> 01:28:31.399 I talk to? What can I cash in? What can 1958 01:28:31.439 --> 01:28:32.199 I upgrade here? 1959 01:28:32.479 --> 01:28:32.520 This? 1960 01:28:32.640 --> 01:28:34.039 When I get back and I'm like, I guess I'll 1961 01:28:34.079 --> 01:28:36.600 put a week thing here and then I'll bounce them 1962 01:28:36.640 --> 01:28:39.479 around like it's I did not love the in between 1963 01:28:39.520 --> 01:28:40.279 stuff in this game. 1964 01:28:40.600 --> 01:28:42.760 I don't care for the in between either. I think 1965 01:28:42.800 --> 01:28:45.680 it's an interesting choice and it's nice that they're testing 1966 01:28:45.680 --> 01:28:48.880 it out every time you see another Vampire Survivor esque game, 1967 01:28:48.960 --> 01:28:51.279 and I do think this is the most different of 1968 01:28:51.319 --> 01:28:54.439 the Vampire Survivors they've They've made so many Vampire Survivors, 1969 01:28:54.439 --> 01:28:58.760 but this is a very different take on it. I 1970 01:28:58.920 --> 01:29:01.479 got really excited by all the ideas here. They're trying 1971 01:29:01.520 --> 01:29:04.119 a lot of stuff, and a lot of it works 1972 01:29:04.159 --> 01:29:07.239 and some of it doesn't. I don't think, in my opinion, 1973 01:29:07.239 --> 01:29:09.880 that the farming works. I don't get excited about it, 1974 01:29:09.880 --> 01:29:11.119 and I don't want to do it, but I think 1975 01:29:11.159 --> 01:29:16.760 it's a neat test. I also think some of the binding, 1976 01:29:16.920 --> 01:29:19.680 so when you choose two different items you can merge 1977 01:29:19.680 --> 01:29:22.079 them into like a super item, some of them are 1978 01:29:22.199 --> 01:29:25.840 just so much better than others. It's really hard to 1979 01:29:25.920 --> 01:29:29.000 not be tempted to go with the same build each time, 1980 01:29:29.039 --> 01:29:33.479 because certain builds are just freaking insane and other ones 1981 01:29:33.520 --> 01:29:35.760 I think are a little bit more blase. I have 1982 01:29:36.039 --> 01:29:37.520 a lot more to play with it. I think I've 1983 01:29:37.520 --> 01:29:44.279 only unlocked like ten or so characters and five different lands, 1984 01:29:44.319 --> 01:29:46.760 maybe four different lands, So I'd really like to play 1985 01:29:46.800 --> 01:29:48.119 a little bit more of it. But I will say, 1986 01:29:48.159 --> 01:29:51.279 like when it comes to Vampire Survivors, I would have 1987 01:29:51.560 --> 01:29:53.600 liked to see. 1988 01:29:53.359 --> 01:29:55.600 More like fucking insane shit on the screen. 1989 01:29:56.279 --> 01:30:00.760 Obviously, ball x Pit does get to be fantastic on screen, 1990 01:30:01.399 --> 01:30:05.159 but you're never it's never as crazy as Vampire Survivors were. 1991 01:30:05.199 --> 01:30:08.000 Like every square inch of that screen is an arrow 1992 01:30:08.239 --> 01:30:10.840 or like a dart or some magical force field. This 1993 01:30:11.000 --> 01:30:14.239 is just like you're shooting balls wildly at the screen 1994 01:30:14.680 --> 01:30:16.920 and hoping that they kill all of your enemies through 1995 01:30:16.960 --> 01:30:17.640 their bouncing. 1996 01:30:18.039 --> 01:30:19.119 It's very satisfying. 1997 01:30:19.119 --> 01:30:21.239 Nevertheless, did you play Megabok. 1998 01:30:22.720 --> 01:30:26.119 No, but I have watched people play megabunk on Twitch, 1999 01:30:26.199 --> 01:30:27.640 so I know what that one. 2000 01:30:27.479 --> 01:30:27.960 Is as well. 2001 01:30:28.279 --> 01:30:31.000 I think it's one of my favorites the year. I 2002 01:30:31.000 --> 01:30:34.039 think what you're feeling it is. I think if you 2003 01:30:34.039 --> 01:30:35.680 try it, it's another one of those cheap ones too. 2004 01:30:35.720 --> 01:30:37.920 I think it's like, yeah, it's less than ten bucks, yea, 2005 01:30:38.840 --> 01:30:39.199 marry you. 2006 01:30:39.359 --> 01:30:41.000 But it looks like it's less than ten bucks, you 2007 01:30:41.000 --> 01:30:41.399 know what I mean. 2008 01:30:41.880 --> 01:30:44.279 Yeah, but like playing it like it's it really is 2009 01:30:44.760 --> 01:30:48.119 probably my favorite. Vampire Survivors, Like, I love it. I 2010 01:30:48.119 --> 01:30:49.279 think you should check it out for a Game of 2011 01:30:49.319 --> 01:30:49.600 the Year. 2012 01:30:49.840 --> 01:30:52.960 Yeah, okay, I'm loving the general fact that that's becoming 2013 01:30:53.039 --> 01:30:55.039 like a genre into its genres. 2014 01:30:55.159 --> 01:30:56.199 Vampire Survivors. 2015 01:30:56.319 --> 01:30:59.319 Yeah, auto shooters are interesting and the ability to like 2016 01:31:00.119 --> 01:31:02.880 push the limits of what you think games should be 2017 01:31:02.960 --> 01:31:05.000 able to do. Like, remember the first time you played 2018 01:31:05.039 --> 01:31:06.600 Vampire Survivors there was just so. 2019 01:31:06.720 --> 01:31:08.479 Much shit on the screen. You were like, I think 2020 01:31:08.520 --> 01:31:09.439 I broke it. 2021 01:31:09.520 --> 01:31:15.319 And it's just fun to have that control in a game, 2022 01:31:15.399 --> 01:31:18.479 even if it's intended it doesn't feel like it. I 2023 01:31:18.479 --> 01:31:20.680 feel like Megabonk gives you that vibe as well, where 2024 01:31:20.720 --> 01:31:22.840 it's like you shouldn't be able to do this, but 2025 01:31:22.960 --> 01:31:24.640 it it lets you break it. 2026 01:31:25.159 --> 01:31:28.880 Yeah yeah, but yeah yeah, Mary play Mega Bonk. It's 2027 01:31:28.960 --> 01:31:31.640 very good. Okay, I'm going to try ball x Pig 2028 01:31:31.960 --> 01:31:39.319 download it. Dan, you also played MK Legacy Collection. 2029 01:31:40.000 --> 01:31:43.319 Yeah, I just fucking love Mortal Kombat. It's I think 2030 01:31:43.600 --> 01:31:47.079 mount rushmore of video game series that have like changed 2031 01:31:47.119 --> 01:31:50.680 my life. I think it is Mario Medal Year, Zelda, 2032 01:31:50.720 --> 01:31:54.039 and Mortal Kombat. And so for someone like me, it 2033 01:31:54.239 --> 01:31:56.079 just loves the history of this game and all of 2034 01:31:56.119 --> 01:31:58.840 its weird lore and weird characters and everything. And like 2035 01:31:59.000 --> 01:32:01.960 the era that this focuses on is extremely just the 2036 01:32:01.960 --> 01:32:04.479 sweet spot for me. Like I have been into it 2037 01:32:04.520 --> 01:32:06.760 from the beginning, including like the more recent ones and 2038 01:32:06.800 --> 01:32:08.399 the PS two era and all that stuff, but like 2039 01:32:08.920 --> 01:32:11.600 this era of it becoming like the biggest thing on 2040 01:32:11.640 --> 01:32:14.000 the planet was what fascinated me the most. 2041 01:32:14.000 --> 01:32:18.920 It's ninety two to three, so first game one, wait, wait, 2042 01:32:18.960 --> 01:32:21.840 this this collection, well, it's like well, I mean when 2043 01:32:21.840 --> 01:32:26.199 I think Tournament Edition, well. 2044 01:32:26.079 --> 01:32:27.640 I mean there are some like GVA ones on there 2045 01:32:27.680 --> 01:32:29.399 or anything, but that those are kind of more like 2046 01:32:29.439 --> 01:32:32.640 Easter Egg, like they've got special forces and mythologies, and 2047 01:32:32.840 --> 01:32:34.640 those are kind of like bonus add ons. I think 2048 01:32:35.039 --> 01:32:37.880 the important ones to me are from Mortal Kombat one, 2049 01:32:38.039 --> 01:32:40.760 Who Ultimate, Mortal Kombat three, and then Mortal kom about 2050 01:32:40.800 --> 01:32:42.640 four I kind of fell off because it went away 2051 01:32:42.640 --> 01:32:44.680 from the digitized actors and went into three D and 2052 01:32:44.720 --> 01:32:47.239 at that point, Virtual Fighter Tech and other things like 2053 01:32:47.239 --> 01:32:52.399 that were just more interesting games. But the documentary so well, 2054 01:32:52.399 --> 01:32:54.600 first I'll touch on the game stuff real quick. It 2055 01:32:54.680 --> 01:32:57.199 is it's incredible, like the amount of stuff you can 2056 01:32:57.239 --> 01:32:59.560 do in terms of like going into the individual games 2057 01:32:59.560 --> 01:33:02.399 and saying, like Unlimited Fatality Timer, you can have the 2058 01:33:02.479 --> 01:33:04.800 move list on the screen, which like that was always 2059 01:33:04.840 --> 01:33:06.760 like one of the things that made Mortal Kombat harder 2060 01:33:06.760 --> 01:33:08.199 to just pick up and play with someone who hadn't 2061 01:33:08.239 --> 01:33:10.960 played before, is you just constantly be looking at a 2062 01:33:10.960 --> 01:33:13.000 move list if someone didn't know, Like, sure, I know 2063 01:33:13.039 --> 01:33:14.800 all of sub Zero's moves, but if I'm playing against 2064 01:33:14.800 --> 01:33:17.000 a friend that like doesn't know, okay, well this is 2065 01:33:17.039 --> 01:33:19.119 down forward whatever, But having it on the screen the 2066 01:33:19.159 --> 01:33:22.720 whole time helps a ton all the different CRT filters 2067 01:33:22.720 --> 01:33:25.119 and arcade filters and Save States and all that stuff. 2068 01:33:25.159 --> 01:33:27.920 It just makes it a fatality trainers and all this stuff. 2069 01:33:27.960 --> 01:33:29.920 It just it's a great way to just take in 2070 01:33:30.079 --> 01:33:32.760 everything these games offered back then. But the thing I've 2071 01:33:32.760 --> 01:33:35.279 really been diving into the last few days is the 2072 01:33:35.279 --> 01:33:38.159 documentary stuff. And this is Digital Eclipse who did like 2073 01:33:38.199 --> 01:33:40.600 you know, the Atari fifty stuff that is like a 2074 01:33:40.760 --> 01:33:42.680 really really cool way of I don't want to say 2075 01:33:42.680 --> 01:33:44.680 it's a gamifying a documentary because there's not much of 2076 01:33:44.680 --> 01:33:46.760 a game to it. It's just like a timeline. It's 2077 01:33:46.760 --> 01:33:48.840 an interactive timeline that you can go between and like 2078 01:33:49.239 --> 01:33:52.479 scroll through you know, original drawings of like here's the 2079 01:33:52.640 --> 01:33:55.840 initial concepts for these characters. Here's the first notes about 2080 01:33:56.479 --> 01:34:00.039 you know who Sonia could be. There's cool like this 2081 01:34:00.039 --> 01:34:02.680 one clip I saw last night was incredible of you know, 2082 01:34:02.760 --> 01:34:05.159 the scorpion spear and the get over here thing is 2083 01:34:05.199 --> 01:34:08.520 like the most iconic move in Mortal Kombat history. And 2084 01:34:08.600 --> 01:34:11.479 there's literally footage of the actor I think it was 2085 01:34:11.560 --> 01:34:16.279 Daniel Piscina playing a scorpion and Ed Boone, this twenty 2086 01:34:16.279 --> 01:34:18.119 sentthing year old Ed Boone. It's like, you know what 2087 01:34:18.159 --> 01:34:20.760 would be fucking cool. What if you like threw out 2088 01:34:20.800 --> 01:34:22.079 like you had a spear and it had like a 2089 01:34:22.199 --> 01:34:23.359 rope on the end of it, and then you like 2090 01:34:23.359 --> 01:34:25.880 pull him towards like you see the moment that ed 2091 01:34:25.960 --> 01:34:28.720 Boone thought like, oh shit, this would be sweet, and 2092 01:34:28.760 --> 01:34:31.720 then you see scorpion and full scorpion gears like okay, yeah, 2093 01:34:31.720 --> 01:34:33.560 and then he does the fucking movement that you know, 2094 01:34:33.640 --> 01:34:35.399 like it for something like me, it's like this is 2095 01:34:35.399 --> 01:34:38.560 the coolest shit. And so I've just been like ravenously 2096 01:34:38.600 --> 01:34:41.560 devouring all this documentary stuff and every photo and note 2097 01:34:41.560 --> 01:34:44.279 and flyer and all this stuff. And I realized now, 2098 01:34:44.640 --> 01:34:48.840 like Ben Hansen is for a fucking fifteen years been 2099 01:34:48.920 --> 01:34:50.880 yelling at me to watch all these documentaries and stuff 2100 01:34:50.880 --> 01:34:52.560 and his Double Fine stuff and all that shit, and 2101 01:34:52.560 --> 01:34:54.960 like I've always been like, I'm not interested. I'm not interested, 2102 01:34:55.039 --> 01:34:57.439 I don't care, I'm not interested. Turns out it just 2103 01:34:57.479 --> 01:34:59.119 has to be about a game I care about. I 2104 01:34:59.119 --> 01:35:02.159 don't get a shit about games. I fucking love Mortal Kombat, 2105 01:35:02.199 --> 01:35:05.279 and watching this is like the most fascinating treasure trove 2106 01:35:05.439 --> 01:35:09.880 of Like it's I have not seen it behind the 2107 01:35:09.880 --> 01:35:12.319 scenes thing like this that has hit me like this, 2108 01:35:12.439 --> 01:35:15.159 like I I all watch yeah, yeah, ah. 2109 01:35:15.640 --> 01:35:18.439 No, It's what I wouldn't give to like have something 2110 01:35:18.479 --> 01:35:21.840 like that for Zelda. Oh it would never happen. I 2111 01:35:22.159 --> 01:35:24.760 realized that's pipe dream, but like that'd be unreal to see, 2112 01:35:24.840 --> 01:35:26.479 like the moment when they figure out the hook shot. 2113 01:35:27.039 --> 01:35:30.720 Oh yeah yeah. But this is there's something really there's 2114 01:35:30.760 --> 01:35:32.479 there's there's a less cliche way to put this in 2115 01:35:32.560 --> 01:35:34.760 like a punk type thing, but like it's just a 2116 01:35:34.760 --> 01:35:39.520 bunch of fucking twenty somethings in an office in Chicago 2117 01:35:40.079 --> 01:35:42.000 and they were in the nineties and they were kind 2118 01:35:42.000 --> 01:35:44.079 of giving carp blanche to like you know, like they 2119 01:35:44.159 --> 01:35:46.439 keep talking to these documentaries, like nobody was really telling 2120 01:35:46.479 --> 01:35:47.960 us what to do.

And it is such a time 2134 01:36:20.920 --> 01:36:24.600 capsule that made something so so special. And watching this 2135 01:36:24.680 --> 01:36:27.159 you can tell how much passion these guys had for 2136 01:36:27.199 --> 01:36:30.119 it and how much fun they had making it, which always 2137 01:36:30.159 --> 01:36:31.760 came through in the games. Like I, you know, without 2138 01:36:31.760 --> 01:36:33.960 ever seeing any of this behind the scenes stuff, you 2139 01:36:34.000 --> 01:36:36.359 play Mortal Kombat games and you're like, these guys are 2140 01:36:36.359 --> 01:36:38.960 having fucking fun. And it's so cool that so many 2141 01:36:39.000 --> 01:36:41.279 of those guys from this footage from nineteen ninety one 2142 01:36:41.560 --> 01:36:44.239 are still at nether Realm now. And I think that's 2143 01:36:44.279 --> 01:36:47.680 a big reason. Like Hi, Yeah, like Mortal Kombat has 2144 01:36:47.720 --> 01:36:49.640 like had like it never had, you know, it has 2145 01:36:49.720 --> 01:36:51.520 games I like more than others and stuff like that, 2146 01:36:51.560 --> 01:36:53.199 And I don't love the DC one or whatever, but 2147 01:36:53.239 --> 01:36:55.760 like it never stopped feeling like Mortal Kombat. And it's 2148 01:36:55.800 --> 01:36:59.279 like because even as it grew, it was still these 2149 01:36:59.319 --> 01:37:02.920 guys that made this game and kept that DNA the 2150 01:37:02.960 --> 01:37:05.479 same way throughout and like it's just I've always loved 2151 01:37:05.479 --> 01:37:07.520 Mortal Kombat. This is making me love it even more. 2152 01:37:07.560 --> 01:37:09.239 It's it's a fantastic collection. 2153 01:37:11.319 --> 01:37:13.079 I love the behind the scenes stuff. 2154 01:37:13.119 --> 01:37:15.600 I think that's really cool to to get that kind 2155 01:37:15.640 --> 01:37:18.520 of lore and that background of the people who love 2156 01:37:18.600 --> 01:37:22.840 this uh just made this game what it is and 2157 01:37:22.880 --> 01:37:25.399 to see them care that deeply about it in a 2158 01:37:25.479 --> 01:37:26.439 game very fun. 2159 01:37:27.319 --> 01:37:29.359 Yeah, I uh. That's like one of my favorite things 2160 01:37:29.399 --> 01:37:32.039 about Command and Conquer Remastered collection. They had so much 2161 01:37:32.079 --> 01:37:34.439 that behind the scenes stuff. I love the museum aspects 2162 01:37:34.439 --> 01:37:37.279 of these remasters, these collections. It's it's awesome. I want 2163 01:37:37.359 --> 01:37:38.159 more people to do it. 2164 01:37:38.239 --> 01:37:40.159 But you'll frequently see this stuff where it's like, oh, 2165 01:37:40.199 --> 01:37:42.640 here's some concept art or whatever, like you know, oh, 2166 01:37:42.640 --> 01:37:45.520 make a man legacy collection, Like here's a drawing of Cutman. 2167 01:37:45.720 --> 01:37:47.159 You know, Oh no, don't have ass it. 2168 01:37:47.319 --> 01:37:50.239 This is like digital Clips goes nuts with this stuff, 2169 01:37:50.279 --> 01:37:52.920 and it is so in depth and like even just 2170 01:37:52.960 --> 01:37:55.319 little things like oh, from the timeline of the Mortal 2171 01:37:55.359 --> 01:37:57.319 Kombat two documentaries. You can like press a button and 2172 01:37:57.319 --> 01:38:00.199 start playing Mortal Kombat two and you can play play 2173 01:38:00.199 --> 01:38:01.880 the arcade version you want to play the Superintendent version, 2174 01:38:01.920 --> 01:38:03.000 you want to play, the game Boy version, do you 2175 01:38:03.000 --> 01:38:05.000 want to play? Like, it's just all of these different 2176 01:38:05.079 --> 01:38:08.319 versions of these games. It's it's cool, it's it's I 2177 01:38:08.439 --> 01:38:08.680 love it. 2178 01:38:09.039 --> 01:38:10.359 So what about online? 2179 01:38:10.640 --> 01:38:12.399 I haven't. I haven't played a single online game yet. 2180 01:38:12.479 --> 01:38:15.520 I you know, honestly, for me, it's fighting it. 2181 01:38:15.600 --> 01:38:17.720 That's a reason, just like Mortal Kombat is so much 2182 01:38:17.720 --> 01:38:19.000 about like competing. 2183 01:38:19.439 --> 01:38:21.119 But to me, I kind of push back on that 2184 01:38:21.199 --> 01:38:24.199 because like, to me, I was never a hardcore fighting 2185 01:38:24.279 --> 01:38:26.800 game guy, and I knew even back then that the 2186 01:38:26.880 --> 01:38:29.880 hardcore fighting game guys went towards Street Fighter, And I 2187 01:38:30.319 --> 01:38:34.279 also think Street Fighter is a better mechanical fighting series 2188 01:38:34.279 --> 01:38:37.640 than Mortal Kombat is. But it was the personality of 2189 01:38:37.680 --> 01:38:39.720 Mortal Kombat. It was just the super over the top 2190 01:38:39.840 --> 01:38:44.399 nature of the fatality. But they it was so fucking silly. 2191 01:38:44.439 --> 01:38:48.359 But they also took their stories like seriously. They played 2192 01:38:48.399 --> 01:38:50.800 it straight like it's the most ridiculous fucking story. But 2193 01:38:50.840 --> 01:38:53.920 the lore is actually kind of fun to follow. So 2194 01:38:54.039 --> 01:38:55.880 I think that's what made me draw in to it. 2195 01:38:56.119 --> 01:38:57.520 It wasn't about like I'm going to be the best 2196 01:38:57.520 --> 01:39:00.279 Mortal Kombat player and learn all these like highlight level 2197 01:39:00.439 --> 01:39:02.520 you know, fighting esport moves or whatever. It was just like, 2198 01:39:02.560 --> 01:39:05.439 I don't know, some zero is cool, you know. So 2199 01:39:06.079 --> 01:39:08.399 that's what drew me to Mortal Combat more than the 2200 01:39:08.479 --> 01:39:09.439 hardcore fighting game. 2201 01:39:09.520 --> 01:39:13.319 You know, Mary, what is Henry Halfhead? 2202 01:39:14.399 --> 01:39:16.880 This is a quick one. It's a puzzler game. 2203 01:39:17.680 --> 01:39:17.840 Uh. 2204 01:39:18.479 --> 01:39:19.600 You play as Henry. 2205 01:39:20.439 --> 01:39:24.800 You do have half of a head, and you can 2206 01:39:25.319 --> 01:39:30.319 embody a object and then become it, and then you 2207 01:39:30.479 --> 01:39:32.159 use that to solve puzzles. 2208 01:39:32.840 --> 01:39:35.119 So one of the very operator talks the entire time. 2209 01:39:36.079 --> 01:39:40.199 There is a narrator. I didn't care for that. But 2210 01:39:40.319 --> 01:39:42.439 I actually did play this game on my steam deck 2211 01:39:42.479 --> 01:39:44.800 while watching TV, so I actually didn't have the audio on. 2212 01:39:45.239 --> 01:39:46.920 It's probably smart, yeah, because like the idea of like 2213 01:39:47.000 --> 01:39:48.960 inhabiting all these different things is kind of fun, but 2214 01:39:49.039 --> 01:39:51.199 it was I kind of tapped out when every I 2215 01:39:51.199 --> 01:39:53.479 thought it was just like a tutorial. Oh Henry, he. 2216 01:39:53.680 --> 01:39:59.000 Liked playing with his ball, He's playing Shut the fuck up, 2217 01:39:59.159 --> 01:40:03.800 just let me play the game went sleepy by. It's like, 2218 01:40:03.840 --> 01:40:09.479 oh I hate this. It sounds like Bash, but they're 2219 01:40:10.000 --> 01:40:11.359 narrating like boring stuff. 2220 01:40:11.520 --> 01:40:12.840 I had really different. 2221 01:40:12.600 --> 01:40:14.039 Experiences excited that. 2222 01:40:14.119 --> 01:40:16.159 The audio on Shut the Up. 2223 01:40:16.319 --> 01:40:21.039 It's my God, I was just messing around with it 2224 01:40:21.119 --> 01:40:23.079 like it would. It has all these puzzles where it'll 2225 01:40:23.119 --> 01:40:26.800 be like make a party, and so you're I'm I'm 2226 01:40:27.119 --> 01:40:31.119 inhabiting a plate and setting the table, I'm inhabiting candles 2227 01:40:31.279 --> 01:40:33.640 and putting them on a cake. I'm inhabiting a match 2228 01:40:33.760 --> 01:40:37.239 and lighting myself and then lighting the birthday cake. And 2229 01:40:37.319 --> 01:40:39.439 when I did that, I threw a party and I 2230 01:40:39.520 --> 01:40:41.800 was like, that's so cute. This is a cute, little 2231 01:40:42.479 --> 01:40:47.239 simple puzzler. But I actually never really listened to the game, 2232 01:40:48.119 --> 01:40:49.800 so that would be very annoying. 2233 01:40:50.079 --> 01:40:52.039 It is that like that did annoy me, but like 2234 01:40:52.159 --> 01:40:54.760 also like the puzzles, and I played maybe like an 2235 01:40:54.800 --> 01:40:57.119 hour or so of it. It's sure everything was just 2236 01:40:57.159 --> 01:40:59.560 the most obviously okay, now gotta it's like you realize 2237 01:40:59.560 --> 01:41:01.159 them too. So it's like I gotta put the candles 2238 01:41:01.199 --> 01:41:03.520 on the cake. And then it's like fucking three minutes 2239 01:41:03.560 --> 01:41:06.079 of like I'm rolling the candle over. Okay, let's get 2240 01:41:06.119 --> 01:41:09.079 the candle. Okay. Now it's like it's the puzzles weren't 2241 01:41:09.079 --> 01:41:10.600 really doing it for me either, Like it had a 2242 01:41:10.640 --> 01:41:12.279 good look to it and everything it. 2243 01:41:12.319 --> 01:41:14.039 Has a cute look to it. I think the pet 2244 01:41:14.079 --> 01:41:16.359 puzzles are simple. I think that's super fair to say. 2245 01:41:17.399 --> 01:41:18.159 I think it's cute. 2246 01:41:18.279 --> 01:41:20.720 I think it's it's probably more for like younger kids. 2247 01:41:20.960 --> 01:41:23.560 I think said his daughters were liking it, so I think. 2248 01:41:25.239 --> 01:41:26.319 This just had like a. 2249 01:41:28.319 --> 01:41:30.159 Yeah, a young vibe to it. 2250 01:41:30.279 --> 01:41:31.199 It's very simple. 2251 01:41:32.279 --> 01:41:35.039 The the art style is so cute and adorable, and 2252 01:41:35.159 --> 01:41:38.159 I think it's thoughtful in that sense. But I also 2253 01:41:38.560 --> 01:41:38.920 did not. 2254 01:41:39.039 --> 01:41:40.680 Play it probably more than three hout. 2255 01:41:40.720 --> 01:41:42.720 I think I played it one evening for three hours, 2256 01:41:42.760 --> 01:41:44.840 and I thought that that's nice, and I never went 2257 01:41:44.920 --> 01:41:45.359 back to it. 2258 01:41:45.880 --> 01:41:51.600 Yep, if you're six and listen, Hey, hey, any listeners 2259 01:41:51.640 --> 01:41:59.640 that yeah listening, asshole?

What is it? 2262 01:42:05.760 --> 01:42:08.199 You don't know? Luminous? No listen. 2263 01:42:09.119 --> 01:42:13.439 The PSP, the PlayStation Portable is a dog shit system, 2264 01:42:13.960 --> 01:42:17.479 but Luminous almost made it worth it. Luminous is a 2265 01:42:17.680 --> 01:42:20.239 puzzle game. When I say puzzle game means a lot 2266 01:42:20.279 --> 01:42:22.399 of things, it is like more on the side of 2267 01:42:22.439 --> 01:42:24.640 like blocks and grids and stuff like that. 2268 01:42:26.520 --> 01:42:26.840 It is. 2269 01:42:27.119 --> 01:42:29.239 It's got this element of kind of I don't want 2270 01:42:29.239 --> 01:42:31.199 to say rhythm, but more like timing, Like there is 2271 01:42:31.279 --> 01:42:33.880 a timeline that goes across the screen and it kind 2272 01:42:33.920 --> 01:42:37.119 of like clears things out as the timeline passes things. 2273 01:42:37.159 --> 01:42:39.399 So if you get a two by two grid of 2274 01:42:39.479 --> 01:42:43.000 the same color like every you're always dealing with two 2275 01:42:43.039 --> 01:42:46.000 different colors or two different items, Like I just did 2276 01:42:46.039 --> 01:42:48.319 one that's like ice blocks and taxi cabs and stuff. 2277 01:42:48.439 --> 01:42:50.399 And I see Mary bobbing her head right now. 2278 01:42:50.399 --> 01:42:53.880 Because oh this music is fucking tie all. 2279 01:42:54.000 --> 01:42:57.479 About music and visuals. It is the most like it 2280 01:42:57.640 --> 01:43:00.279 was Tetris Effect before Tetris Effect in terms of the 2281 01:43:00.439 --> 01:43:03.000 visuals and everything. And just as you progress through the level, 2282 01:43:03.000 --> 01:43:05.359 it's just like, oh fuck, the music changes completely and 2283 01:43:05.439 --> 01:43:08.279 all the the blocks look completely different, and uh. 2284 01:43:08.479 --> 01:43:10.560 This would hit so hard if you were on drugs. 2285 01:43:10.960 --> 01:43:11.000 No. 2286 01:43:11.159 --> 01:43:13.239 And it's also like I can't wait to try it 2287 01:43:13.359 --> 01:43:17.199 in VR because ooh boy, Tetris Effect probably George Washington 2288 01:43:17.199 --> 01:43:19.199 in The Mount rushmore of good games to play while 2289 01:43:19.239 --> 01:43:22.640 you're high. Luminous is all about the sound and vision 2290 01:43:22.640 --> 01:43:24.119 and stuff, So I do want to get very high 2291 01:43:24.119 --> 01:43:24.920 and play this in VR. 2292 01:43:25.359 --> 01:43:25.600 It is. 2293 01:43:27.079 --> 01:43:27.760 The little. 2294 01:43:29.800 --> 01:43:32.880 Chameleons, oh yeah, yeah, And there's like this fruit level 2295 01:43:32.880 --> 01:43:35.159 where you're like building huge apples and stuff and they 2296 01:43:35.239 --> 01:43:36.479 fly at the screen when you break them. 2297 01:43:36.520 --> 01:43:39.239 Everything it's I'm not going to describe every fucking puzzle 2298 01:43:39.239 --> 01:43:41.079 mechanic to you. It is a game where you were 2299 01:43:41.119 --> 01:43:43.680 dropping blocks and you were matching things together, and you 2300 01:43:43.720 --> 01:43:45.960 were getting a high score and trying not to let 2301 01:43:46.000 --> 01:43:47.920 the blocks get to the top of the screen. It is. 2302 01:43:48.119 --> 01:43:49.880 It sounds a lot like Tetris when I describe it 2303 01:43:49.960 --> 01:43:50.199 that way. 2304 01:43:50.520 --> 01:43:50.760 It is. 2305 01:43:51.119 --> 01:43:53.960 It definitely feels very different than Tetris, but it is 2306 01:43:55.159 --> 01:43:56.039 right up there for me. 2307 01:43:56.199 --> 01:44:00.439 Likely has like a Mario uh is that is called 2308 01:44:00.520 --> 01:44:01.560 doctor Mario. 2309 01:44:03.279 --> 01:44:06.600 Would be like og one the pill Mario was just 2310 01:44:06.640 --> 01:44:08.560 the kind of the two pip pills and stuff like this. 2311 01:44:08.680 --> 01:44:10.199 This is a two by two. You're dropping a lot 2312 01:44:10.239 --> 01:44:11.960 of two by two squares, and so some of them 2313 01:44:12.039 --> 01:44:13.760 might all let's say it's just blue and orange, you know, 2314 01:44:13.880 --> 01:44:15.600 some of them might just be all blue, some might 2315 01:44:15.640 --> 01:44:17.800 be all orange, some might be a mix. And gravity 2316 01:44:17.880 --> 01:44:20.199 affects the blocks as they fall, and so you were 2317 01:44:20.239 --> 01:44:23.439 just trying to make big blocks basically to clear them out. 2318 01:44:23.920 --> 01:44:26.079 And but you can do really cool combos and stuff 2319 01:44:26.079 --> 01:44:28.279 with it. There's this new burst mechanic that is really awesome. 2320 01:44:28.680 --> 01:44:34.359 So they basically Tetris Effect. Tetris affected Luminous and made 2321 01:44:34.399 --> 01:44:37.239 it better than ever. And I mean, Luminous is one 2322 01:44:37.239 --> 01:44:39.199 of the all time best puzzle games to me, and 2323 01:44:39.680 --> 01:44:42.439 Tetris Effect was one of the best kind of reimaginings 2324 01:44:42.479 --> 01:44:44.880 of a puzzle game. And they've done it again. Luminous 2325 01:44:44.960 --> 01:44:47.159 Arise kicks ass. Mary. 2326 01:44:47.359 --> 01:44:48.840 I know you play a lot on your Steam deck. 2327 01:44:49.000 --> 01:44:49.279 This is. 2328 01:44:49.319 --> 01:44:51.319 I played pretty much all of this on my Steam deck. 2329 01:44:51.760 --> 01:44:55.760 I love this. This seems like really up my alley. 2330 01:44:55.880 --> 01:45:01.159 I really love the old drug binge. So I think 2331 01:45:01.199 --> 01:45:03.920 I'm gonna I'm gonna think I'm gonna give this a try. 2332 01:45:04.239 --> 01:45:05.000 This looks great. 2333 01:45:05.079 --> 01:45:06.800 This is I've not been high yet playing and I've 2334 01:45:06.840 --> 01:45:08.880 played through the entire journey mode of this, and it's 2335 01:45:09.039 --> 01:45:11.039 very good high or not high. I will also be 2336 01:45:11.079 --> 01:45:11.960 getting high and playing this. 2337 01:45:12.159 --> 01:45:17.880 Very drug binge. It's the funny, funniest way podcast. 2338 01:45:18.479 --> 01:45:20.159 Good drug binge. 2339 01:45:20.279 --> 01:45:23.760 I mean, I think I've had a rough working environment. 2340 01:45:23.960 --> 01:45:27.560 I love to like get out of my head when 2341 01:45:27.560 --> 01:45:30.119 I'm not working right now, and I think like this 2342 01:45:30.319 --> 01:45:32.359 is the kind of thing that I think would really 2343 01:45:33.000 --> 01:45:37.439 allow me to transcend reality. That sounds great, So I have. 2344 01:45:37.520 --> 01:45:40.319 To sound on with this one because the music is great, 2345 01:45:40.680 --> 01:45:44.399 totally jaz mode and like, did you did testor sffect right? 2346 01:45:46.079 --> 01:45:46.680 Yeah, of course. 2347 01:45:46.800 --> 01:45:48.279 You know that journey mode where you're like, it's got 2348 01:45:48.319 --> 01:45:49.880 the exact same thing here, it's got the journey mode 2349 01:45:49.880 --> 01:45:51.600 where it's kind of broken up into different like you know, 2350 01:45:51.680 --> 01:45:55.520 here's here's five little stages basically, and then here's another four, 2351 01:45:55.680 --> 01:45:57.479 and then it's got all the different like shifts between 2352 01:45:57.479 --> 01:45:59.039 the music and the visuals and everything. 2353 01:45:59.119 --> 01:45:59.760 It's just like that. 2354 01:46:00.479 --> 01:46:02.039 It is just a good time. 2355 01:46:02.560 --> 01:46:05.720 Damn, this is really cool. Thank you looks awesome. 2356 01:46:05.920 --> 01:46:08.520 I want to hear what you think of it. I 2357 01:46:08.560 --> 01:46:11.279 guess I won't play it because Dan yelled at me 2358 01:46:11.279 --> 01:46:11.600 about it. 2359 01:46:12.079 --> 01:46:16.119 She doesn't even do drugs. Mike, you've been playing Monster 2360 01:46:16.279 --> 01:46:18.680 Train too, which I heard you could be stone sober 2361 01:46:18.800 --> 01:46:19.760 for tell us about it. 2362 01:46:20.439 --> 01:46:22.720 I talked about it last episode. But yeah, that's probably 2363 01:46:22.760 --> 01:46:24.920 my favorite thing. I'm still playing now along with Donkey 2364 01:46:25.000 --> 01:46:30.199 Kong Bananza. That game is really really good. I've unlocked 2365 01:46:30.239 --> 01:46:33.560 every faction. I have a bunch of new cores to 2366 01:46:33.640 --> 01:46:35.359 my train, like the Heart of the Train that they're 2367 01:46:35.359 --> 01:46:37.680 trying to destroy, but you also get ones with different abilities. 2368 01:46:39.159 --> 01:46:41.680 I still really really hate the art style for the 2369 01:46:41.720 --> 01:46:45.520 first game and this it looks so cheap. It gets 2370 01:46:45.560 --> 01:46:48.239 the point across, and there's some really clever character models, 2371 01:46:48.319 --> 01:46:53.039 but like it just looks like a bad line straddling 2372 01:46:53.079 --> 01:46:57.880 between paper cutouts and like online like flash game. I'm 2373 01:46:57.880 --> 01:47:02.279 not sure, but yeah, the games are to a flash game. Yeah, sorry, 2374 01:47:02.399 --> 01:47:05.359 that's it was immature of me. But no, this game 2375 01:47:05.439 --> 01:47:09.039 is like incredible. And again I don't I don't historically 2376 01:47:09.119 --> 01:47:11.560 love deck Builders, but this game does such cool things 2377 01:47:11.600 --> 01:47:14.359 with it that builds on the first game two. Like, 2378 01:47:14.439 --> 01:47:17.560 there are certain effects you get that really just blow 2379 01:47:17.680 --> 01:47:21.479 up how you're thinking about certain factions. Valor is this 2380 01:47:21.600 --> 01:47:23.720 effect where basically, if you end in the front of 2381 01:47:23.760 --> 01:47:26.600 a row, you'll gain armor, but you'll also add some 2382 01:47:26.880 --> 01:47:29.000 to your attack power. And then there's certain characters that 2383 01:47:29.079 --> 01:47:32.239 can move around the train build valor each time you 2384 01:47:32.359 --> 01:47:37.039 do that. So it's it's very very good at forcing 2385 01:47:37.079 --> 01:47:39.000 me out of my comfort zone in like a play 2386 01:47:39.039 --> 01:47:42.359 style that I get comfortable with. Similar to Blatro, Blatcho 2387 01:47:42.399 --> 01:47:44.399 will force you out of your comfort zone quickly in 2388 01:47:44.520 --> 01:47:47.439 terms of like how you're building your deck or with 2389 01:47:47.560 --> 01:47:51.359 jokers there. But Montra Train two is very very good 2390 01:47:51.399 --> 01:47:53.640 at just forcing me to keep thinking of my feet often. 2391 01:47:54.359 --> 01:47:54.880 I like it a lot. 2392 01:47:54.920 --> 01:47:57.000 It's also just very satisfying for a deck building game, 2393 01:47:57.000 --> 01:47:58.600 similar to what I was saying about Donkey Kong. It's 2394 01:47:58.600 --> 01:48:01.279 got a good like snappiness to it. It feels great. 2395 01:48:01.840 --> 01:48:02.960 I like that game quite a bit. 2396 01:48:05.960 --> 01:48:08.239 I have one more that I thought about last minute. 2397 01:48:08.279 --> 01:48:09.479 And what was that look you were giving me? You 2398 01:48:09.520 --> 01:48:10.439 were going to say something? 2399 01:48:10.840 --> 01:48:11.439 Do you know? 2400 01:48:11.560 --> 01:48:13.680 I think I was given Mary a look because she said, 2401 01:48:13.720 --> 01:48:16.560 you don't deserve anything? And I realized, did you know that? 2402 01:48:16.640 --> 01:48:18.359 I won the McDonald Anopotly game and I won one 2403 01:48:18.399 --> 01:48:21.840 hundred thousand American Airlines miles just send me and bank 2404 01:48:21.880 --> 01:48:22.840 to Hawaii round trip. 2405 01:48:23.279 --> 01:48:29.079 I saw you on Instagram thank McDonald's and I rolled. 2406 01:48:29.399 --> 01:48:30.239 Is that what you're dealing with them? 2407 01:48:30.439 --> 01:48:31.199 What did you win? 2408 01:48:32.079 --> 01:48:34.279 We haven't decided yet, but they are in my account now. 2409 01:48:34.359 --> 01:48:37.600 I have one hundred thousand American Airlines miles approximate retail 2410 01:48:37.680 --> 01:48:41.680 value twenty five hundred dollars that I won of McDonald's 2411 01:48:41.800 --> 01:48:44.359 monopoly feasts one piece? 2412 01:48:44.680 --> 01:48:45.800 How many did you buy it? 2413 01:48:46.199 --> 01:48:47.600 You didn't have like Baltic Avenue. 2414 01:48:47.720 --> 01:48:49.199 It was like it was one of the quickspans you 2415 01:48:49.239 --> 01:48:51.159 get bonus spins on the app when you do it, 2416 01:48:51.239 --> 01:48:52.720 and so I hit the bonus pin and it was 2417 01:48:52.760 --> 01:48:54.439 like usually it's like you want a free small fry 2418 01:48:54.600 --> 01:48:57.039 or a small cone and me it was like twenty 2419 01:48:57.079 --> 01:48:58.479 five hundred dollars worth of flights? 2420 01:48:58.800 --> 01:49:02.119 How long did it?

It has cut scenes starring 2493 01:52:28.119 --> 01:52:33.359 Neil Neubin nubn from balders Gate, Iree Asterion and Ben 2494 01:52:33.520 --> 01:52:41.359 Starr and uh, Laura Bailey, Matthew Mercer, a lot of 2495 01:52:41.760 --> 01:52:46.840 pretty big names on this f FMV file. You are 2496 01:52:47.880 --> 01:52:50.399 in a house. I think it's like a producer's house, 2497 01:52:50.720 --> 01:52:53.880 and I think he's a bad guy, and all these 2498 01:52:54.119 --> 01:52:57.000 actors are trying to get like good roles in the 2499 01:52:57.159 --> 01:53:00.920 next film, and you're playing.

I 2502 01:53:08.119 --> 01:53:11.560 thought it was okay. It was a horror game that 2503 01:53:11.920 --> 01:53:14.119 I think. I wish it was a little scarier. I 2504 01:53:14.239 --> 01:53:16.800 only like got actually jump scared maybe twice throughout the 2505 01:53:16.840 --> 01:53:20.399 whole thing. It's more the environment is is kind of 2506 01:53:20.560 --> 01:53:22.000 uncomfortable or scary. 2507 01:53:22.479 --> 01:53:22.600 Uh. 2508 01:53:22.800 --> 01:53:24.560 I didn't think the puzzles were super hard. 2509 01:53:24.680 --> 01:53:26.760 I figured everything out. I think I beat this game 2510 01:53:26.880 --> 01:53:32.359 in four hours with UH with my bud Silver. I 2511 01:53:32.399 --> 01:53:35.439 think we basically burned through it pretty quickly. But I 2512 01:53:35.560 --> 01:53:37.119 do love F and B horror, and I think if 2513 01:53:37.119 --> 01:53:41.319 you're into like weird horror psychological films, UH, it was. 2514 01:53:41.600 --> 01:53:43.680 It was a cool experience and I'm glad I played 2515 01:53:43.720 --> 01:53:47.119 it if you like that kind of thing. It's a 2516 01:53:47.279 --> 01:53:51.159 very unique style of horror game. It's weird to see 2517 01:53:51.199 --> 01:53:56.600 Ben Starr, like not just his voice, his like physical form. 2518 01:53:56.880 --> 01:53:59.199 All these people a lot of pearces in it. Like 2519 01:53:59.279 --> 01:54:01.920 there's a lot of actors, but it's like their actual 2520 01:54:01.960 --> 01:54:04.479 physical form. It's they're they're not I mean, they're playing 2521 01:54:04.520 --> 01:54:07.600 a role, but like it's actors, you know. So that 2522 01:54:07.760 --> 01:54:08.359 was confusing. 2523 01:54:08.720 --> 01:54:10.479 Names start are so weird to me because it's like 2524 01:54:10.760 --> 01:54:12.640 he's the guy that I see all the time and 2525 01:54:12.720 --> 01:54:14.439 I talk to all the time whenever we do a 2526 01:54:14.600 --> 01:54:16.720 thing and you know, game Awards or SGF or something. 2527 01:54:17.000 --> 01:54:19.880 But I've never played I guess Entail Expedition thirty three. 2528 01:54:19.920 --> 01:54:21.520 I never really play games. He's been a voice and 2529 01:54:21.720 --> 01:54:23.840 so he's just like a dude. I sometimes talk to 2530 01:54:24.520 --> 01:54:26.920 I don't, so I only know him as just a 2531 01:54:27.000 --> 01:54:30.159 physical dude. Yeah, it's weird to see him as a dude. 2532 01:54:30.239 --> 01:54:30.399 You know. 2533 01:54:30.920 --> 01:54:33.640 It's weird because he plays like, uh, I'm not gonna 2534 01:54:33.640 --> 01:54:35.239 I'm not gonna give it away. But they're all playing 2535 01:54:35.359 --> 01:54:38.359 characters that are like kind of strange and nuanced, so 2536 01:54:38.520 --> 01:54:40.760 it is like stressful to watch him get like really 2537 01:54:40.880 --> 01:54:45.439 angry on set and things like that. There's also that, Yeah, 2538 01:54:45.479 --> 01:54:47.039 there's just a lot of actors in it where I'm like, 2539 01:54:47.119 --> 01:54:49.119 I know that guy, but he's playing he's playing like 2540 01:54:49.159 --> 01:54:49.600 a weirdo. 2541 01:54:49.920 --> 01:54:56.079 So yeah, people, Yeah, it's a lot of it's a 2542 01:54:56.119 --> 01:54:57.039 hard sell for me. 2543 01:54:57.399 --> 01:55:00.720 I thought it was an interesting experience, especially a four 2544 01:55:00.840 --> 01:55:05.680 hours psychological horror puzzler with FMV stuff. 2545 01:55:05.720 --> 01:55:08.199 I think it's it's neat what they tried to do here, 2546 01:55:09.159 --> 01:55:10.319 but a little bit too. 2547 01:55:12.000 --> 01:55:14.359 Slow burn for me. A lot of it is like 2548 01:55:14.960 --> 01:55:19.880 slowly waiting for the next video file and watching it 2549 01:55:20.279 --> 01:55:23.880 and figuring out what that's uncovering, splicing together video files. 2550 01:55:24.039 --> 01:55:27.399 Glad I played it. I don't regret that. How much 2551 01:55:27.520 --> 01:55:27.680 is it? 2552 01:55:30.600 --> 01:55:33.279 It's understanding right now, you're making an F and B game, 2553 01:55:33.319 --> 01:55:35.239 anyone out there, you're making an F and B game 2554 01:55:35.279 --> 01:55:36.920 that's gonna be a real game, soundstame or something. 2555 01:55:37.239 --> 01:55:39.399 I will be in your fm B game. 2556 01:55:39.520 --> 01:55:41.640 Free your charge. Let me know and I will.

Yeah, people like McDonald's fries. 2562 01:55:58.359 --> 01:56:01.680 Dan at a certain time, Like at the Bombiton, we 2563 01:56:01.760 --> 01:56:03.760 had a room filled with fries that we're sitting there 2564 01:56:03.800 --> 01:56:05.600 for like six hours, and I tried to take a 2565 01:56:05.640 --> 01:56:08.399 nap in that room, and look, I love McDonald's. I 2566 01:56:08.520 --> 01:56:10.640 was like, this is overwhelming. I cannot sleep in this 2567 01:56:10.760 --> 01:56:11.279 fry room. 2568 01:56:11.680 --> 01:56:14.520 I wouldn't let them hear that they might snatch those that. 2569 01:56:16.039 --> 01:56:21.199 What do you want, Ronald, Come get me, Ronald. It 2570 01:56:21.199 --> 01:56:23.279 wouldn't be him. It would be the guy who steals 2571 01:56:23.399 --> 01:56:28.680 the burglar. He would he would come. Get your mind. 2572 01:56:29.319 --> 01:56:32.039 Go for it, Joe on the Hamburgler. 2573 01:56:32.319 --> 01:56:35.800 Stop bringing up Samoa Jo.

I recently picked up 2624 01:59:19.439 --> 01:59:23.479 Mark Oh Lord help me Daniel Luski, Daniel Luski's new 2625 01:59:23.520 --> 01:59:24.920 book Tom's Crossing. 2626 01:59:25.279 --> 01:59:25.439 Now. 2627 01:59:25.640 --> 01:59:27.920 I'm not normally one to pick up a book on 2628 01:59:28.119 --> 01:59:31.399 release day, but finding out that the author of House 2629 01:59:31.439 --> 01:59:35.680 of Leaves had written a magical realism eighties Western set 2630 01:59:35.800 --> 01:59:39.880 in my hometown, I could not order fast enough. Reading 2631 01:59:39.920 --> 01:59:41.920 it has been an absolute delight. Has made me feel 2632 01:59:42.000 --> 01:59:45.359 seen in a powerful way. Do you have any favorite 2633 01:59:45.399 --> 01:59:48.079 pieces of media that line up perfectly with your preference 2634 01:59:48.399 --> 01:59:50.439 and have built in connections to your real life, such 2635 01:59:50.479 --> 01:59:52.960 as being set in your hometown or fusing on a 2636 01:59:53.119 --> 01:59:54.399 niche interest of yours. 2637 01:59:54.880 --> 01:59:57.000 Love the show, Thanks Tyler. 2638 02:00:01.600 --> 02:00:06.319 I would say Annihilation the movie kind of really hit 2639 02:00:06.399 --> 02:00:07.239 me in a way where I. 2640 02:00:07.319 --> 02:00:09.199 Was like, set in your hometown. 2641 02:00:10.760 --> 02:00:13.439 I did not grow up in the Everglades, but it 2642 02:00:13.560 --> 02:00:19.399 was like horror meets sci fi meets fantasy meets I 2643 02:00:19.479 --> 02:00:23.840 don't know. I'm a sucker for like expeditions in movies, 2644 02:00:24.359 --> 02:00:26.800 like anytime someone goes into an unknown place where things 2645 02:00:26.840 --> 02:00:28.560 are they don't know what's going on. I always love 2646 02:00:28.600 --> 02:00:30.279 that Annihilation felt like it was made for me in 2647 02:00:30.319 --> 02:00:35.319 that respect. That was probably the one that comes to mind. 2648 02:00:35.399 --> 02:00:38.520 In terms of movies video games, I would say Alan 2649 02:00:38.600 --> 02:00:42.279 Wake two felt like it was just this confluence. It's like, oh, 2650 02:00:42.520 --> 02:00:45.359 Alan's story was very inspired by Taxi Driver and neo 2651 02:00:45.439 --> 02:00:49.039 noir seventies stuff about like from New York City in 2652 02:00:49.079 --> 02:00:51.920 the seventies and noir crime dram is in that. But 2653 02:00:52.000 --> 02:00:58.720 then you also have the pack Northwest Twin Peaks, FBI Investigation, Survival, Horror, 2654 02:00:58.800 --> 02:01:01.119 Over the Shoulder of Side, and I was like, oh, 2655 02:01:01.199 --> 02:01:04.720 they made two games just for me and mashed them 2656 02:01:04.760 --> 02:01:07.279 together into one crazy, unwieldy thing. 2657 02:01:09.680 --> 02:01:11.920 It's a I can think of a really good example 2658 02:01:11.960 --> 02:01:16.000 and a really bad example of So I'm not like, 2659 02:01:16.159 --> 02:01:19.560 I love wrestling and I love movies, but I like, 2660 02:01:19.640 --> 02:01:21.680 you know, they tried to make a million movies with 2661 02:01:21.800 --> 02:01:24.199 fucking John c and a Randy Orton or Diana Ambrose, 2662 02:01:24.560 --> 02:01:26.279 Like I've never watched any of them. Don't give a 2663 02:01:26.319 --> 02:01:28.439 shit I've ever seen like The Marine with Johnson. It's 2664 02:01:28.479 --> 02:01:31.359 like I watched John CNN wrestling. I don't need to 2665 02:01:31.399 --> 02:01:33.600 watch him in a bad straight to DVD movie, you know. 2666 02:01:33.720 --> 02:01:35.640 So I don't really care about that. So when The 2667 02:01:35.720 --> 02:01:39.039 Wrestler was coming out, I was kind of like, all right, 2668 02:01:39.079 --> 02:01:42.640 I'm always very wary of like depictions of pro wrestling 2669 02:01:42.800 --> 02:01:45.000 in mainstream media because it's always the exact same thing. 2670 02:01:45.039 --> 02:01:47.520 It's just someone doing a bad Randy Savage impersonation, and 2671 02:01:47.640 --> 02:01:50.039 it's just like, I don't know, I'm always very skeptical 2672 02:01:50.079 --> 02:01:53.079 because it's typically not done well. But it was Aeronofsky 2673 02:01:53.479 --> 02:01:55.680 and like you know, he's very much that like, oh, 2674 02:01:55.840 --> 02:01:59.560 film dorks liked Aeronofsky stuff, especially back then, and he 2675 02:02:00.000 --> 02:02:02.920 did an incredible job. It was like, I think the 2676 02:02:03.039 --> 02:02:04.960 large majority of wrestling fans look at that movie and 2677 02:02:05.039 --> 02:02:08.239 we're like, oh no, that's they respected the business in 2678 02:02:08.319 --> 02:02:11.000 a major way. And also it's if you don't give 2679 02:02:11.000 --> 02:02:12.800 a shit about wrestling at all, it's just a great movie. 2680 02:02:13.920 --> 02:02:16.640 Do you know if he oh, sorry, no, no, go ahead. 2681 02:02:17.560 --> 02:02:19.560 Was he always into wrestling and wanted to make a 2682 02:02:19.600 --> 02:02:21.760 movie about it or was it something that like something 2683 02:02:21.880 --> 02:02:24.199 sparked a fascination and then he did a deep dive 2684 02:02:24.359 --> 02:02:26.079 and like, I think this is gets to the core 2685 02:02:26.159 --> 02:02:26.279 of it. 2686 02:02:26.520 --> 02:02:29.079 I don't think he's necessarily a guy that's super into wrestling. 2687 02:02:29.319 --> 02:02:31.039 What I've always heard is he wanted to do I 2688 02:02:31.079 --> 02:02:32.920 don't know if you want to do it originally as 2689 02:02:33.000 --> 02:02:36.039 the same movie or as just kind of companion pieces. 2690 02:02:36.079 --> 02:02:38.880 But Black Swan and The Wrestler when he was out 2691 02:02:38.920 --> 02:02:40.880 around the same time, where it's like these stories about 2692 02:02:40.920 --> 02:02:44.319 this like kind of personal trauma and like sacrificing, you know, 2693 02:02:44.439 --> 02:02:45.840 for your art and stuff like that. But he wanted 2694 02:02:45.840 --> 02:02:47.359 Black Swan to be the high brow one and the 2695 02:02:47.359 --> 02:02:50.159 wrestler to be the lowbrow one. But he did, like 2696 02:02:50.279 --> 02:02:51.920 you know, by all accounts, like when he was making 2697 02:02:51.920 --> 02:02:53.920 that movie and everything, he wanted to make it authentic, 2698 02:02:54.039 --> 02:02:57.760 and like it very much reads as authentic. It's very 2699 02:02:57.880 --> 02:03:01.279 very good at that. I will say one that was 2700 02:03:01.319 --> 02:03:04.560 coming out that was it sounded extremely up my alley 2701 02:03:04.800 --> 02:03:08.560 was The Expendables because it was, oh, it's Loan and 2702 02:03:08.600 --> 02:03:11.600 Schwartzenegger and all these guys and Bruce Willis and it's 2703 02:03:11.640 --> 02:03:14.159 just like it just kind of sucked. It's like it 2704 02:03:14.279 --> 02:03:17.800 was just boring. Just like all the coolest guys ever 2705 02:03:17.880 --> 02:03:18.439 into a movie. 2706 02:03:18.520 --> 02:03:20.359 I think they all were like competing with who got 2707 02:03:20.399 --> 02:03:21.199 to be the coolest. 2708 02:03:22.159 --> 02:03:26.039 I'm sure there's much of a good thing too, you know, 2709 02:03:26.760 --> 02:03:28.479 I'm sure they all got paid very well to hang 2710 02:03:28.520 --> 02:03:29.239 out with their buddies. 2711 02:03:29.319 --> 02:03:31.319 But that is not what I asked at all. 2712 02:03:32.000 --> 02:03:34.399 It's not how much money they made. 2713 02:03:34.560 --> 02:03:36.840 I'm saying, like, when you watch a movie like that, 2714 02:03:36.960 --> 02:03:38.760 you want one of them to be the superhero, and 2715 02:03:38.800 --> 02:03:40.000 they can't all be important. 2716 02:03:40.079 --> 02:03:41.840 I mean, Stallone was definitely supposed to be like the 2717 02:03:41.920 --> 02:03:44.159 guy there, but it's like it just it was just 2718 02:03:44.279 --> 02:03:46.880 a stupid movie. And like I like a good stupid movie. 2719 02:03:47.199 --> 02:03:49.319 This was a bad stupid movie. Like I think I 2720 02:03:49.359 --> 02:03:51.359 saw the third one. Maybe I might have skipped one 2721 02:03:51.359 --> 02:03:52.960 of them, but like they're just not good. 2722 02:03:53.479 --> 02:03:56.880 Have you seen them? There's a scene that's always sunny. 2723 02:03:57.119 --> 02:04:00.680 There's an episode where they're basically just like riffing on 2724 02:04:00.800 --> 02:04:03.720 Shyamalan movies and Charlie and Mack are trying to write 2725 02:04:03.720 --> 02:04:06.760 a movie together. And bear in mind they have not 2726 02:04:07.039 --> 02:04:09.439 mentioned this actor the entire show. I want to say, 2727 02:04:09.479 --> 02:04:12.119 this is season seven, so this comes out of nowhere. 2728 02:04:12.239 --> 02:04:13.720 It's not like this is a bit in the show. 2729 02:04:13.880 --> 02:04:15.960 It's just in one scene they're like, you know what 2730 02:04:16.039 --> 02:04:18.279 people are doing these days. They're taking like these washed 2731 02:04:18.359 --> 02:04:20.359 up old actors and then giving them new life with 2732 02:04:20.479 --> 02:04:23.319 this like really great movie. And he's like, yeah, we 2733 02:04:23.359 --> 02:04:25.920 should do that. Who's like a really underrated actor who's 2734 02:04:25.920 --> 02:04:28.000 come by hard times, who's like the most underrated actor 2735 02:04:28.039 --> 02:04:30.880 of all time. And Charlie's like Dolph Lungren Max like exactly, 2736 02:04:31.119 --> 02:04:34.600 like I ou't of know where they do it. Every 2737 02:04:34.640 --> 02:04:37.439 time I think about like the Wrestler, I want to 2738 02:04:37.479 --> 02:04:39.880 say that was Mickey Yorke's first thing in a while. 2739 02:04:40.079 --> 02:04:42.279 That was a big comeback thing, because yeah, big deal 2740 02:04:42.319 --> 02:04:44.039 in the early nineties and he made some weird life 2741 02:04:44.079 --> 02:04:46.239 decisions and career decisions and like tried to become a 2742 02:04:46.319 --> 02:04:47.920 boxer and then so I was like face got fucked 2743 02:04:47.960 --> 02:04:50.039 up and all that, Like he was the it was 2744 02:04:50.039 --> 02:04:52.439 gonna be Nicholas Cage, which also would have been amazing, 2745 02:04:52.520 --> 02:04:54.239 but work was the right choice. 2746 02:04:54.359 --> 02:04:56.479 I don't think I knew that's how his face got 2747 02:04:56.680 --> 02:04:58.239 so changed so. 2748 02:04:58.319 --> 02:05:00.520 Much that he tried to do a boxing run. Yeah, 2749 02:05:01.760 --> 02:05:02.680 he was so bad that. 2750 02:05:02.720 --> 02:05:03.920 His face got pulverized. 2751 02:05:04.239 --> 02:05:07.880 Yeah, Jesus Mike, you asked that, like Darrenovski being a 2752 02:05:07.880 --> 02:05:10.439 wrestling guy. You know who is a big wrestling guy 2753 02:05:10.640 --> 02:05:12.159 and you see it in a lot of his stuff 2754 02:05:12.199 --> 02:05:13.039 is Tim Robinson. 2755 02:05:13.960 --> 02:05:14.840 Oh yeah, I think I knew that. 2756 02:05:15.119 --> 02:05:17.680 On Detroiter's Kevin Nash, like one of my favorite dudes 2757 02:05:17.680 --> 02:05:20.039 ever is his dad and uh and like I think 2758 02:05:20.079 --> 02:05:21.760 you should leave. He's got a bunch of wrestlers that 2759 02:05:21.800 --> 02:05:24.479 show up in that and everything. Uh, Darby Allen, who 2760 02:05:24.520 --> 02:05:27.079 you know from AW, He's like skates with Darby Allen 2761 02:05:27.119 --> 02:05:29.479 has had him like any time AW is around, he's 2762 02:05:29.479 --> 02:05:30.319 always backstage. 2763 02:05:30.319 --> 02:05:33.279 So like, yeah, Tim Robbinson's I can see that, Like 2764 02:05:33.479 --> 02:05:36.399 he's so much. I think he respects people who commit 2765 02:05:36.680 --> 02:05:39.439 to like commit to the bit. Yeah, and like I 2766 02:05:39.520 --> 02:05:42.600 feel like wrestling is like a big dramatic bit and 2767 02:05:42.680 --> 02:05:44.000 I feel like that connects with him. 2768 02:05:44.279 --> 02:05:45.880 I also feel like he has a good taste because 2769 02:05:45.920 --> 02:05:47.760 it's like like he got Kevin Nash to be his 2770 02:05:47.920 --> 02:05:49.640 dad in the show, and I'm like, all right, that's 2771 02:05:49.640 --> 02:05:51.359 like the coolest guy you could have possibly picked. 2772 02:05:51.439 --> 02:05:54.119 So I would like to meet Tim Robinson.

Yeah, 2798 02:07:15.560 --> 02:07:18.159 like that every thing where It's like, I'm sure NBC 2799 02:07:18.319 --> 02:07:20.000 when you get like, you know, Lauren Michaels and all 2800 02:07:20.000 --> 02:07:21.920 these kind of like older corporate guys around, you probably 2801 02:07:21.920 --> 02:07:23.680 can't do, but like a Mister Show type thing. 2802 02:07:23.800 --> 02:07:26.359 Yeah, or what did Showalter and Michael ian Black?

But anyway, sorry, Mary, do you have any things 2806 02:07:37.279 --> 02:07:38.800 are confluences. 2807 02:07:38.199 --> 02:07:41.840 Of I'll say one, which is Ohio is known for 2808 02:07:42.399 --> 02:07:46.159 a lot of TV shows and movies. It just seems 2809 02:07:46.199 --> 02:07:48.640 like it's a great place to be, Like what is traditional, 2810 02:07:50.079 --> 02:07:53.960 you know, Midwest Americana feel like. And I think there's 2811 02:07:54.079 --> 02:07:58.640 no movie that embodies that better than Tommy Boy. Tommy 2812 02:07:58.720 --> 02:08:02.399 Boy is not just a real good reflection of Ohio culture, 2813 02:08:02.520 --> 02:08:03.880 but Ohio people. 2814 02:08:04.479 --> 02:08:05.439 There's a lot of. 2815 02:08:07.159 --> 02:08:12.279 Blue collar workers, factory workers every day Joe's in that movie, 2816 02:08:12.399 --> 02:08:14.520 that are not this is not like looked down upon. 2817 02:08:14.640 --> 02:08:17.119 These are like people who give a shit, and so 2818 02:08:17.239 --> 02:08:20.760 the joke is not about them or the livelihoods. It's 2819 02:08:20.880 --> 02:08:25.279 just about what a fucking dumb shit Tommy is. Stupid 2820 02:08:25.319 --> 02:08:27.039 little kidd heus where. 2821 02:08:27.000 --> 02:08:31.279 He looks into that thing and he says, Duke, I 2822 02:08:31.439 --> 02:08:32.960 am your father. 2823 02:08:33.399 --> 02:08:35.359 And they catch him being such a little dumb shit. 2824 02:08:35.439 --> 02:08:38.399 I was like, oh no, that's me, Like this is 2825 02:08:38.560 --> 02:08:40.640 I'm such an idiot and I have to be. 2826 02:08:40.680 --> 02:08:42.880 A business person now and I have to make money 2827 02:08:43.039 --> 02:08:43.239 and I. 2828 02:08:43.439 --> 02:08:47.039 Have to be important, and there are days where I'm like, 2829 02:08:47.199 --> 02:08:49.479 I don't I don't deserve any of this because I 2830 02:08:49.600 --> 02:08:53.479 am I am stupid.

But I think Tommy Boy, I 2833 02:08:59.520 --> 02:09:02.520 feel really seen by that entire film, not just Ohio, 2834 02:09:02.960 --> 02:09:06.439 which it is like prolific to have a drive that 2835 02:09:06.680 --> 02:09:09.159 flat where you don't see a hill or a mountain 2836 02:09:09.279 --> 02:09:12.800 for hours, that's like so Ohio, but also just his 2837 02:09:13.039 --> 02:09:15.479 character and the way he exists in that film is 2838 02:09:15.640 --> 02:09:16.840 like very important to me. 2839 02:09:17.359 --> 02:09:19.319 That movie we watched, me and Bach watched like maybe 2840 02:09:19.319 --> 02:09:21.039 four or five years ago, and it aged a lot 2841 02:09:21.119 --> 02:09:22.960 better than I expected. And there are things I forgot 2842 02:09:23.079 --> 02:09:24.920 where it's like you talk about the different characters that 2843 02:09:24.960 --> 02:09:28.399 are like dan Aykroyd being like the slimy Midwest you know, 2844 02:09:28.600 --> 02:09:31.119 car dealership owner.

Yeah, Like, but it's like, Okay, well, 3031 02:18:09.319 --> 02:18:10.440 do you want to keep playing it or not? 3032 02:18:11.079 --> 02:18:11.319 Sure? 3033 02:18:11.639 --> 02:18:15.120 Also, maybe, and this will come up later, but like 3034 02:18:15.360 --> 02:18:18.200 maybe you needed to grind in some other place and 3035 02:18:18.280 --> 02:18:22.040 sharpen your needle more. Maybe you needed a different badge 3036 02:18:22.319 --> 02:18:25.920 that would have let you have like a faster speed 3037 02:18:26.159 --> 02:18:28.399 or a quadruple jump, and that would have also help 3038 02:18:28.559 --> 02:18:31.319 helped with that boss fight. I suffered on a boss 3039 02:18:31.399 --> 02:18:33.879 for like three hours, and then I found out that 3040 02:18:34.000 --> 02:18:37.920 I really really really needed that triple. 3041 02:18:37.680 --> 02:18:40.000 Jump dash and I didn't have it. So I was 3042 02:18:40.120 --> 02:18:43.040 just kind of I was like so convinced that this. 3043 02:18:43.120 --> 02:18:45.719 Boss was broken, and it was just like user error 3044 02:18:46.040 --> 02:18:49.000 that happens all the time. That game humbles the shit 3045 02:18:49.120 --> 02:18:49.520 out of me. 3046 02:18:50.120 --> 02:18:53.959 So I find it a little exhausting for someone to 3047 02:18:54.079 --> 02:18:54.959 just be like too hard. 3048 02:18:55.079 --> 02:18:58.360 She's like, well, did you did you try? Are you good? 3049 02:18:59.239 --> 02:19:01.479 Yeah? I think that game has bigger problems than difficulty. 3050 02:19:04.440 --> 02:19:06.680 I think I think we glazed Team Cherry too much. 3051 02:19:06.719 --> 02:19:09.920 That's a whole other thing. No, I like that game 3052 02:19:10.000 --> 02:19:12.920 quite a bit the other day. It's a fucking video game. 3053 02:19:13.040 --> 02:19:17.200 Go get some real problems, get go get a mortgage. 3054 02:19:17.639 --> 02:19:20.239 It's just it's a fucking just put down the controller 3055 02:19:20.280 --> 02:19:21.559 and go figure out your life. 3056 02:19:21.799 --> 02:19:25.079 Yeah, you go get out hospital bill and if you 3057 02:19:25.159 --> 02:19:33.600 can't get yeah, fucking babies.

I love Mike naughty. I'm so sorry. 3083 02:20:52.120 --> 02:20:55.280 I did during the Bob on her. Beforehand, I was like, Mike, 3084 02:20:55.600 --> 02:20:58.120 what's the number for?

I don't think that's a bit. 3090 02:21:06.799 --> 02:21:08.319 I know people. I know someone who was like that 3091 02:21:08.360 --> 02:21:10.079 with bananas when I was younger. We thought it was 3092 02:21:10.120 --> 02:21:12.280 a bit, and I'm ashamed to say I like played 3093 02:21:12.319 --> 02:21:13.879 a prank on him with a banana and it. 3094 02:21:14.280 --> 02:21:15.280 No good freaked out. 3095 02:21:15.360 --> 02:21:15.399 No. 3096 02:21:15.520 --> 02:21:17.840 I to be clear, I was like twelve, and I 3097 02:21:18.000 --> 02:21:18.639 learned my lesson. 3098 02:21:21.360 --> 02:21:22.399 I was going to do that where I was going 3099 02:21:22.440 --> 02:21:23.879 to present him with a bunch of fruit and stuff 3100 02:21:23.879 --> 02:21:25.680 and like, no, it's like a like real phobia. 3101 02:21:26.159 --> 02:21:28.959 Yeah, not fun. I learned after I was once I 3102 02:21:29.120 --> 02:21:31.040 was thirteen not to do that. But like I put aim, 3103 02:21:31.719 --> 02:21:34.399 it wasn't even a creative prank. I just like our friend. 3104 02:21:34.959 --> 02:21:37.079 He was a friend who did amp up. He he 3105 02:21:37.159 --> 02:21:39.120 exaggerated a lot of stories and whatnot. So I thought 3106 02:21:39.159 --> 02:21:42.879 he was being doing the same thing with his fear 3107 02:21:42.920 --> 02:21:46.120 of bananas, like just being around them. So I like 3108 02:21:46.239 --> 02:21:49.840 snuck a banana into his glovebox while in like sorry, 3109 02:21:49.879 --> 02:21:52.200 not his glovebox, his like what do you want to 3110 02:21:52.239 --> 02:21:55.920 call his like a basketball gym bag. The glovebox was 3111 02:21:55.959 --> 02:21:58.159 a separate prank later on in life to someone else 3112 02:21:59.360 --> 02:22:01.319 did not with a phobia, but he like opened his 3113 02:22:01.399 --> 02:22:05.000 gym bag and like hyperventilated. 3114 02:22:05.840 --> 02:22:06.760 When you do that stuff. 3115 02:22:06.840 --> 02:22:09.120 I didn't know at the time. I was fucking twelve. 3116 02:22:09.239 --> 02:22:12.159 I'm gonna go back through your childhood and find no, 3117 02:22:12.319 --> 02:22:12.760 I told. 3118 02:22:12.639 --> 02:22:14.760 You, I get fired as a babysitter right from the 3119 02:22:15.319 --> 02:22:20.360 bee prank. This rings a slight bell, the short one. 3120 02:22:20.680 --> 02:22:23.639 I was babysitting the neighbor kids. There are three kids, 3121 02:22:23.680 --> 02:22:26.680 and the youngest one, Nick was uh he was like 3122 02:22:26.719 --> 02:22:28.639 a pread of bees or something or actually, I don't 3123 02:22:28.639 --> 02:22:30.079 even think he said that. I think he was just 3124 02:22:30.159 --> 02:22:32.440 a kid, and kids don't like bees, including myself. 3125 02:22:32.479 --> 02:22:34.079 I don't think adults like bees either. 3126 02:22:34.280 --> 02:22:35.840 Yeah, you know what, take it back. I don't think 3127 02:22:35.840 --> 02:22:37.280 it was a phobia thing. I think we were just 3128 02:22:37.440 --> 02:22:41.000 walking to the pool in the neighborhood and I was like, oh, Nick, 3129 02:22:41.079 --> 02:22:42.680 oh god, you gotta bee. You gotta be on the 3130 02:22:42.680 --> 02:22:44.600 back of your head or something, and he just lost 3131 02:22:44.719 --> 02:22:47.000 his fucking mind and burst out crying and was the 3132 02:22:47.040 --> 02:22:49.159 whole thing. And he told his mom, Yeah, you could. 3133 02:22:49.000 --> 02:22:49.600 Tell us about this. 3134 02:22:49.760 --> 02:22:51.360 Yeah, but there was also that I ate the whole 3135 02:22:51.399 --> 02:22:53.040 box of cheese its, And so I think I can't 3136 02:22:53.040 --> 02:22:55.680 remember which one was the one that actually got me fired, 3137 02:22:55.719 --> 02:22:58.280 but uh, yeah, don't do that one. 3138 02:23:00.319 --> 02:23:01.760 Traumatize my child. 3139 02:23:02.559 --> 02:23:05.559 Uh yeah. 3140 02:23:05.639 --> 02:23:07.799 So I was in a good babysitter either. I once 3141 02:23:07.920 --> 02:23:09.600 let them out on the roof and I said, don't 3142 02:23:09.639 --> 02:23:12.000 tell your parents. And then the next day, the dad 3143 02:23:12.079 --> 02:23:13.760 took me aside and was like, you took them out 3144 02:23:13.799 --> 02:23:15.520 on the roof, didn't you? And I said, yeah, no, 3145 02:23:17.840 --> 02:23:19.200 And then I looked at the kid and I said, 3146 02:23:19.200 --> 02:23:25.479 I'm gonna fucking kill you. Yeah, but watching Blues Clues again, 3147 02:23:25.600 --> 02:23:26.280 you little cunt. 3148 02:23:26.680 --> 02:23:30.239 No. I believe Mike when he says he doesn't like apples. 3149 02:23:30.280 --> 02:23:33.479 I have seen it close. But I'm though, what is 3150 02:23:33.520 --> 02:23:36.799 the most important part of a trail mix? Oh? Not raisins. 3151 02:23:38.360 --> 02:23:38.920 There's a lot of. 3152 02:23:39.000 --> 02:23:45.040 Different are not really something that I ever enjoy. 3153 02:23:45.200 --> 02:23:49.040 I will say that, uh an oatmeal, raisin cookies fresh 3154 02:23:49.079 --> 02:23:49.600 from the oven. 3155 02:23:49.760 --> 02:23:51.399 I can be like, yeah, I'm into this. 3156 02:23:51.799 --> 02:23:53.399 It could be a good component. But like when you 3157 02:23:53.440 --> 02:23:55.440 think about being a kid, like you were always confronted with, 3158 02:23:55.559 --> 02:23:57.479 like I just have a box of raisins, Who the 3159 02:23:57.520 --> 02:23:59.520 fuck is like eating boxes of resk? 3160 02:24:00.159 --> 02:24:01.239 Some questions for adult? 3161 02:24:01.399 --> 02:24:06.920 You dant the little raisins, the little California boxes?

Ten Yes, 3180 02:24:58.040 --> 02:25:00.959 I counted them, and it was like very like. 3181 02:25:02.440 --> 02:25:03.399 Models mustard. 3182 02:25:03.680 --> 02:25:07.559 Don't send me any more shit too much.

Yeah, you the only reason you 3185 02:25:13.719 --> 02:25:16.079 didn't send me the whole fuel drum of chocolate syrup 3186 02:25:16.159 --> 02:25:19.079 is because Bianca talked you out of it, and she said, 3187 02:25:19.120 --> 02:25:21.280 a reminder, you're playing the prank on Amanda too. You 3188 02:25:21.360 --> 02:25:25.760 think that I think you're thinking of Tim Turry. Don't 3189 02:25:25.959 --> 02:25:28.440 send me any more mustard. No, that sounds really annoying. 3190 02:25:29.760 --> 02:25:32.120 I'll go toe to toe with you in terms of 3191 02:25:32.280 --> 02:25:33.000 how annoying I. 3192 02:25:33.000 --> 02:25:35.559 Can be someone's getting Raisins. 3193 02:25:37.239 --> 02:25:39.799 I would I would welcome a box that size of Raisins. 3194 02:25:39.840 --> 02:25:44.120 I like Raisins a lot worse than Ladybugs. That was, 3195 02:25:44.399 --> 02:25:48.360 I will admit, very funny. What was it a one 3196 02:25:48.399 --> 02:25:51.120 thousand or twenty five hundred or something bugs? But that 3197 02:25:51.239 --> 02:25:54.879 was back when I was immature. I don't know who 3198 02:25:54.920 --> 02:25:59.399 sent the mustard.

I think raisins play an 3201 02:26:06.040 --> 02:26:08.079 important part in trail mix because they alter the textures. 3202 02:26:08.120 --> 02:26:09.399 You get a bit of chew in there. It's not 3203 02:26:09.479 --> 02:26:10.159 all just crunch. 3204 02:26:10.879 --> 02:26:13.760 But they're not even gross. They're just annoying, like raisins, 3205 02:26:13.840 --> 02:26:17.879 like the flavor's fine at best. I feel like, if 3206 02:26:17.920 --> 02:26:20.639 you're making a trail mix thing, why wouldn't everything be good? 3207 02:26:20.680 --> 02:26:22.840 Because I feel like there's always that Why I want 3208 02:26:22.879 --> 02:26:23.399 the pretzel. 3209 02:26:23.799 --> 02:26:27.120 Well, peanuts are literal, like people use peanuts as a 3210 02:26:27.319 --> 02:26:29.200 metaphor for things that are just filler. 3211 02:26:29.799 --> 02:26:30.760 I think peanuts are great. 3212 02:26:30.959 --> 02:26:32.840 I like peanuts. I don't think they're my favorite part, though, 3213 02:26:32.879 --> 02:26:35.479 Like i'd rather I'd rather take the peanuts out than 3214 02:26:35.479 --> 02:26:36.000 the raisins. 3215 02:26:37.239 --> 02:26:38.000 Oh that's crazy. 3216 02:26:38.399 --> 02:26:41.079 No, what trail mikes are we talking here? This one 3217 02:26:41.120 --> 02:26:42.000 with like M and m's in it. 3218 02:26:42.639 --> 02:26:49.319 Yeah, I sums cash cashewsh not have cash is peanuts. 3219 02:26:49.360 --> 02:26:55.200 I think walnuts are in there. Sometimes pineapple smells ones 3220 02:26:55.239 --> 02:26:56.760 with a bigger one on one end, like they're like 3221 02:26:56.799 --> 02:26:59.959 a decu nut or no, sorry, the decu the spiral 3222 02:27:00.159 --> 02:27:02.639 thing you get the beginning, the spiritual stone of the forest. 3223 02:27:04.079 --> 02:27:06.719 I only want these things if they involve pretzels. 3224 02:27:06.879 --> 02:27:09.879 Walnuts look like brains from up top. But walnuts are well, 3225 02:27:09.920 --> 02:27:10.440 n'ts a lot. 3226 02:27:10.920 --> 02:27:13.959 Kind of like nut variety stuff like pecans, walnuts, all 3227 02:27:13.959 --> 02:27:14.559 that stuff's great. 3228 02:27:14.559 --> 02:27:14.959 Almonds. 3229 02:27:15.079 --> 02:27:18.520 I love a pecan, although I like them candied. 3230 02:27:18.600 --> 02:27:22.479 I feel like a regular pecan feels like it's missing something. 3231 02:27:22.799 --> 02:27:24.239 I was gonna say, do you like the little candied 3232 02:27:24.399 --> 02:27:26.520 squares of like pineapple and some trail mixes. 3233 02:27:26.719 --> 02:27:30.799 I love the candied square of pineapple. I'm glad you 3234 02:27:30.879 --> 02:27:35.479 brought this up. We invented this very important a replacement 3235 02:27:35.559 --> 02:27:37.799 of the raisin but also cube form. 3236 02:27:38.120 --> 02:27:40.280 They could have made it anything. But that guy was like, 3237 02:27:40.479 --> 02:27:41.159 make it a cube. 3238 02:27:41.200 --> 02:27:42.200 Oh my god, I did it again. 3239 02:27:42.479 --> 02:27:43.959 That girl was like, it's a cube. 3240 02:27:44.840 --> 02:27:48.840 Yeah, it could have been a woman. It could have been. 3241 02:27:49.079 --> 02:27:49.680 It probably was. 3242 02:27:50.079 --> 02:27:55.200 Look up, look up Phyllis p cube. She invented the 3243 02:27:55.239 --> 02:27:56.319 pineapple cube. 3244 02:27:56.360 --> 02:27:57.520 The Turkish apricot. 3245 02:27:57.920 --> 02:28:01.879 I'll take pineapple before raisin, for sure. You know what's 3246 02:28:01.920 --> 02:28:04.280 good to dried out apples? You don't see that a lot. 3247 02:28:04.440 --> 02:28:06.799 Oh yea yeah, but that's a good because those retain 3248 02:28:06.840 --> 02:28:07.799 a lot of the apple flavor. 3249 02:28:08.159 --> 02:28:11.440 I think you're leaning out of trail mix. Dried apple 3250 02:28:11.680 --> 02:28:14.959 is not a trail mixed situation. You're dodging the question 3251 02:28:16.479 --> 02:28:19.319 trail mix component Dan, And he's like, I don't like 3252 02:28:19.399 --> 02:28:21.319 anything because it's all nuts. 3253 02:28:21.479 --> 02:28:22.920 I want to I want to make a distinction. Not 3254 02:28:23.239 --> 02:28:27.399 your favorite, the most important Oh, I mean the nuts. 3255 02:28:28.040 --> 02:28:29.760 I want to be semantic about this, the nuts. 3256 02:28:29.959 --> 02:28:32.440 If it didn't have nuts, it wouldn't be trail mixed exactly. 3257 02:28:32.600 --> 02:28:34.559 So it's let's just say nuts in general. 3258 02:28:34.719 --> 02:28:36.920 No, no, no, no, because that's that's basically all Like 3259 02:28:37.040 --> 02:28:39.799 what which nuts and peanuts could Why because they add 3260 02:28:39.840 --> 02:28:42.760 the filler or because they're the filler they're good, but 3261 02:28:42.879 --> 02:28:45.879 also they fill. I'm not saying I like them, but 3262 02:28:46.000 --> 02:28:48.280 they are by definition they're added because they're cheaper and 3263 02:28:48.360 --> 02:28:54.799 they're easier to they fill. I think hash peanuts infinitely. 3264 02:28:54.440 --> 02:28:57.239 More so important. And if trail mix doesn't have cashews, 3265 02:28:57.280 --> 02:28:59.879 I'm like, this is for a bitch, like it has. 3266 02:28:59.760 --> 02:29:00.799 To the cashier. 3267 02:29:01.799 --> 02:29:04.840 So okay, So, Mike, you said the peanuts out of 3268 02:29:04.879 --> 02:29:07.319 the shell. Is this just a mean thing? Like going 3269 02:29:07.319 --> 02:29:09.799 to baseball games in the nineties and stuff and you 3270 02:29:09.879 --> 02:29:12.079 get the big thing of peanuts in the shells. I 3271 02:29:12.200 --> 02:29:16.639 would just put the whole shells in my mouth, you 3272 02:29:16.959 --> 02:29:20.799 and you and swallow them. No, So I think I 3273 02:29:20.920 --> 02:29:23.319 knew as a kid that like it would get really 3274 02:29:23.440 --> 02:29:26.840 dry and like splintery, that's stringy. Yeah, and so but 3275 02:29:27.000 --> 02:29:29.360 like I did, like they were so so salty. They 3276 02:29:29.399 --> 02:29:31.399 were super fucking salty. So I just like suck on 3277 02:29:31.479 --> 02:29:33.559 them and then chew them. And then you would also 3278 02:29:33.799 --> 02:29:35.920 chew like so like in your mouth you would kind 3279 02:29:35.920 --> 02:29:37.559 of purse out the peanut parts so you could swallow. 3280 02:29:37.719 --> 02:29:40.319 Yeah, like a sunflower se just spit out all the 3281 02:29:40.399 --> 02:29:45.399 fucking like. Uh, I mean, I don't I don't necessarily 3282 02:29:46.639 --> 02:29:51.239 agree with that. I get why you did it, opinion. 3283 02:29:52.000 --> 02:29:53.319 I was angry. 3284 02:29:53.639 --> 02:29:55.639 I was eating the entire sunflower seed until I was 3285 02:29:55.719 --> 02:29:58.920 like eight.

Because I was eating a 3293 02:30:19.639 --> 02:30:22.280 bag of sunflower seeds on the couch washing fucking South 3294 02:30:22.360 --> 02:30:24.840 Park in two thousand and three or something, and I 3295 02:30:24.920 --> 02:30:28.799 just bit into it and my tooth shattered and it 3296 02:30:28.959 --> 02:30:32.600 was bleeding like crazy, and it was a lot of pain. 3297 02:30:32.760 --> 02:30:35.120 And I did not have health insurance.
