Speaker 6: I'm fine. I've never been better.
Speaker 7: No, look, yeah, let's just get to it, because I've
Speaker 7: been I've been waiting anxiously to hear this story for
Speaker 7: a bit. Now, then, what happened when you try to
Speaker 7: cook asparagus?
Speaker 1: Okay? Based on what I posted? What do you think happened?
Speaker 2: Oh it's okay, okay, yeah, let's go around the horn. Okay.
Speaker 7: So yeah, my favorite theory. I don't know if it's
Speaker 7: possibly true. So so you said, you said on a
Speaker 7: Blue Sky that you accidentally you try to cook asparagus
Speaker 7: and accidentally ate a lot to greaser. My hope is
Speaker 7: that you like cooked it in too much pam spray
Speaker 7: and thought it was greasy, so you put some greaser
Speaker 7: in to balance it out.
Speaker 6: I think it's number than that.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, did you just think the greaser was good? Anti?
Speaker 6: I didn't know what it was until I ate a
Speaker 6: bunch of it.
Speaker 5: No, dearn Okay, okay, good, yeah, I have no Clearly
Speaker 5: you didn't know what it was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is what happened. Okay, looks too happy about this, Okay.
Speaker 1: So okay, I'm doing a healthy thing because I was
Speaker 1: deeply unhealthy all through the holidays, you know, as many
Speaker 1: people are. And I'm not like resolutions guy necessarily, but
Speaker 1: I did need to like start getting things ready for
Speaker 1: marathon training, and I need to not be totally out
Speaker 1: of shape and eating like an asshole.
Speaker 2: So I got a Whole Foods.
Speaker 1: I got a dietitian I went to, and I was
Speaker 1: just like, hey, tell me what to do, tell me
Speaker 1: what to buy, tell me what to make.
Speaker 5: How many vats of mac and cheese can I still eat?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: They got no noodles I got. I went to Whole Foods.
Speaker 1: I got so many fruits and salads and like just
Speaker 1: good stuff. So I'm making like, uh, I got a
Speaker 1: carbie with some natural fats breakfast. I got a salad
Speaker 1: alid for lunch, and then I'm making chicken soufi chicken
Speaker 1: and veggies for dinner.
Speaker 6: That's all good, right, that's all good stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right now, the salads, I've never been a salad
Speaker 1: guy really as far as making them.
Speaker 6: That's been going gangbusters.
Speaker 1: I've been making salads and it's grabb been chopping up
Speaker 1: avocados and peppers and putting all sorts of Green Goddess
Speaker 1: dressing and pecans and that.
Speaker 2: Goddess d Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 6: So the salads, oh man, just going gang bus.
Speaker 5: Are you sure that the Green Garden of salad dressing
Speaker 5: is not down dish soap?
Speaker 2: No, they don't whole foods.
Speaker 1: It was Annie's Green Goddess dressing, all right, And that's
Speaker 1: all been great. So I had like several days of
Speaker 1: lunch salads under my belt and then I got the
Speaker 1: chicken breast and I did the thing.
Speaker 6: Well, I guess the chicken.
Speaker 1: The chicken actually went almost okay outside of the almost fire.
Speaker 1: But it wasn't the chicken that did the degreaser. So
Speaker 1: the degreaser was the asparagus. So I'm trying to do
Speaker 1: everything right here, so like everyone will just googled and
Speaker 1: doesn't know what Google's I fucking googled, and I was like,
Speaker 1: how to do good asparagus in air fryer and it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: it seems pretty simple. You just you toss it in
Speaker 1: some olive oil. You can spray olive oil on it,
Speaker 1: get some salt and pepper on it. You throw it in,
Speaker 1: you know, three seventy degrees, put it in another six to
Speaker 1: eight minutes.
Speaker 2: Great.
Speaker 1: I've used the air frier to reheat taco bell a
Speaker 1: million times. I know how that thing works. I can
Speaker 1: do that with asparagus and something healthy. So I go to, uh,
Speaker 1: the chickens finishing up in the souviete over here, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, it's time to do the asparagus.
Speaker 1: And oh, the basket's not in the air fryer. What
Speaker 1: the what the hell? And so I look around and
Speaker 1: it's in the sink. Oh, and I think like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: I know it's probably too big for the Okay, First
Speaker 1: of all, what me explaining this right now is giving
Speaker 1: it more thought than actually happened. Because what really happened
Speaker 1: was I'm like retroactively applying thoughts to what happened.
Speaker 2: Does that make sense?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Watch this verifying concept? Yeah, applying thoughts.
Speaker 1: So what really happened was I went over to the
Speaker 1: sink and I looked down and the baskets in there.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry so much. Do you mean remembering?
Speaker 1: No, no, I'm not, because I'm describing it as if
Speaker 1: there was the thought process, but there was.
Speaker 5: You know, he's editorializing his memories.
Speaker 1: Like if I'm trying to justify it retroactively, I could
Speaker 1: be like, oh, it was probably sitting in the sink
Speaker 1: because a Bonka just washed it and it was just
Speaker 1: drying out, because you know sometimes like bigger stuff that's
Speaker 1: not for the dishwasher, you'll wash and then you put
Speaker 1: it upside down on a towel or something near the
Speaker 1: sink and it dries out again. To be fair, none
Speaker 1: of those thoughts were in my head at the time.
Speaker 1: They are now trying to justify it. But I went
Speaker 1: up and I just grabbed the wet basket and I
Speaker 1: grabbed it, and I guess I thought it was just
Speaker 1: water or something in there. I threw all these faragus
Speaker 1: in there. I threw it in the thing. It's heating
Speaker 1: up the sparagus.
Speaker 5: I dab it with like a paper towel first or
Speaker 5: anything that.
Speaker 1: I just put it from the sink into the blue right.
Speaker 6: I didn't pay that much attention.
Speaker 1: So no, I think it's actually I know, I looked
Speaker 1: at the bottle and this was like clear, it's like
Speaker 1: Don Platinum Degreaser or something.
Speaker 4: It's also very odd Dan that you're calling it specifically
Speaker 4: Dawn de Greaser versus dish soap.
Speaker 1: I don't know what any of that's. I just I've
Speaker 1: read the bottle. That's what it says.
Speaker 5: Like, Okay, yeah, I think it might be a slightly
Speaker 5: different product.
Speaker 1: Sure, So I put the basket in the thing with
Speaker 1: the asparagus, with the whole bushel of asparagus in there.
Speaker 1: But then I go to do the h I go
Speaker 1: to do the chicken, and as I'm like getting the
Speaker 1: chicken ready, I'm taking the bag out of the souv
Speaker 1: and all that, and I'm putting the pan on the
Speaker 1: stove there and then I start smelling something that's like,
Speaker 1: oh is there. I'm just like clean the kitchen or
Speaker 1: something very strong soapy. What the camera went out? Okay,
Speaker 1: very strong soapy type smell, and like what the hell
Speaker 1: could that be? And it's just going for minutes and
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know, smells good in here? And
Speaker 1: then I can't remember at what point I went upstairs
Speaker 1: to Bunk's office and uh, I was like, hey, did
Speaker 1: you like wash the the air basket, air fire basket
Speaker 1: or something.
Speaker 6: She goes, it was in the sink.
Speaker 1: It was decreasing and I was like, and she she
Speaker 1: knew she could like smell that, like something was happening
Speaker 1: and hearing the beat and I'd be, well, yeah, well
Speaker 1: it's the asparagus is cooking now. And she's like, was
Speaker 1: the degreaser in there? And I was like, ah, I
Speaker 1: don't know him. She was like, you should go take
Speaker 1: the asparagus out of there. That's going to taste horrible,
Speaker 1: and uh, you should put the basket back in the sink.
Speaker 5: Go ahead, Okay, you know what. I feel like you're
Speaker 5: gonna continue the story, so my question could wait? Go ahead?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Well so I go down, but I just
Speaker 1: look a bushel of asparagus was like five bucks.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, what the fuck was that? You hate it? Everyways?
Speaker 2: Well okay, that's what that was my question. Well okay,
Speaker 2: so yeah, so wait, yes, you went up.
Speaker 5: And talk to Bianca, yes before ingesting it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was still and then and then.
Speaker 5: I remember seeing on the social media platform saying you
Speaker 5: ate degreaser. Yeah, so I'm just wondering how we bridge
Speaker 5: this gas. This is a this is a chasm that
Speaker 5: I'm yes, I understand, I.
Speaker 1: Can explain this too. So I go down. She was like,
Speaker 1: that's gonna take a starre while. You should dump that
Speaker 1: this fergus out. And I went down and I was like, ah, man,
Speaker 1: it's like I was like five dollars a bushel. Sorry,
Speaker 1: my camera keeps going out, and so I just open
Speaker 1: up the thing. I take all these fergus out, I
Speaker 1: throw it on a plate, I dump out the degreaser.
Speaker 1: I spray some water in there, and I wipe it
Speaker 1: down and I put the asparagus back into thinking like
Speaker 1: I think that, like you know, like the way you
Speaker 1: kill bacteria and chicken is you heat it to a
Speaker 1: certain temperature. I thought, at a certain point, maybe if
Speaker 1: I just went a little a couple of minutes past
Speaker 1: what it suggested, it would turn off the degreaser.
Speaker 2: And so that's why you're the human torture. And I
Speaker 2: put it.
Speaker 1: Back in, and while it's cooking, I was doing my research.
Speaker 1: I looked at the bottle and it just said like
Speaker 1: if swallowed quickly, you know, drink a bunch of water
Speaker 1: to dilute it. It didn't say like you're gonna die,
Speaker 1: call poison control, and I'm sure right, there's no worst
Speaker 1: case scenario here, and so I cooked it.
Speaker 6: It still smelled like soap.
Speaker 1: The worst case scenario is wasting five dollars, right right.
Speaker 1: I still got that Paul Riker gene in there. It's
Speaker 1: like the devil Jane from Canada.
Speaker 2: Just poison to make sure we don't lose money.
Speaker 1: No, it just said I did so I it said
Speaker 1: just drink water, So I made sure I had water
Speaker 1: with it.
Speaker 2: Actually I think I had.
Speaker 1: A mountain dew, but it was liquid and better liquida.
Speaker 2: It powers it up.
Speaker 1: So No, I tried to force myself through the whole
Speaker 1: bushel of asparagus. I got sever like probably five plus
Speaker 1: stocks in and it like I was trying to tell
Speaker 1: myself like, Okay, I'll just pretend it's like a seasoning
Speaker 1: or something.
Speaker 6: But it was just like I was just eating soap and.
Speaker 2: Effects only go so far.
Speaker 8: You weird eight soap For a while, what was Mike saying,
Speaker 8: I'd it's not weird, I might.
Speaker 7: Need a weird one. Good good audience the DAN for
Speaker 7: the first time I ever.
Speaker 2: Congratulations one of the Who is Weirder Poles has a
Speaker 2: definitive winner, a single vote for eighty six Dan zero
Speaker 2: mic but no harm done? Right, And I learned it
Speaker 2: might be harm done. I'm a harm done.
Speaker 5: Like over the holiday, I definitely got the sense that
Speaker 5: Dan thinks that the teenage mutantats turtles Christmas caroling thing
Speaker 5: you do is the weirdest thing in the world. Like,
Speaker 5: and I'm just like, oh Dan, oh, honey, buddy, no
Speaker 5: a little.
Speaker 2: What was endearing? No, that's not his weirdest thing. I
Speaker 2: thought that was okay, all right, yeah, it is a
Speaker 2: daring well.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, okay, my pot too. I do have
Speaker 1: thoughts about soap, like I.
Speaker 5: Write it down.
Speaker 2: Is it so clean? How could eating it be bad
Speaker 2: for you? Is that I'm that part of it?
Speaker 5: Just bleach your insides, get rid of the covid Well
Speaker 5: that is like I was thinking about this recently because
Speaker 5: like I switched to a loofa situation in the shower.
Speaker 1: I used to just always be a bar soap guy,
Speaker 1: just rub the bar right on the skin. And I
Speaker 1: switched to a loofah a couple of months ago, And
Speaker 1: every time I use it, I'm looking at it and
Speaker 1: I'm like, are you read?
Speaker 2: Do I put this in the washing machine?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: Do I put this.
Speaker 6: In with the laundry?
Speaker 5: Do I?
Speaker 6: But then I think like, wait, no.
Speaker 1: It's just all it touches is soap, So it's always clean, right,
Speaker 1: Like soap can't be dirty?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 2: So like, okay, are you supposed to wash a loofa
Speaker 2: okay a while?
Speaker 5: After a while? How about like what a towel is
Speaker 5: like after you use it like twice, and how kind
Speaker 5: of it gets pretty gnarly after like because it's like
Speaker 5: wet and body stuff.
Speaker 4: So yeah, you talk the loof after a little bit, like, hey,
Speaker 4: what's a little bit? Uh, I'm like six weeks nikki face,
Speaker 4: two months?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm kind of a direct bar of soap? Guy?
Speaker 2: Is that okay? I always happened?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're not sharing a bar of soap with anyone?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah exactly.
Speaker 6: I got my own shower.
Speaker 1: So it's like, I don't need to translate.
Speaker 7: How does this translate to? So it's good to digest soap?
Speaker 7: Is what you're saying that because it's clean.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying there was nothing on the bottle that
Speaker 1: said it was poisoned. I was also worried it was flammable,
Speaker 1: because anytime I'm working with heat, I am just in
Speaker 1: full panic mode. So I don't think it's that harmful.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to keep doing it intentionally, but I don't.
Speaker 1: I kept waiting for something to happen, and I just
Speaker 1: went through about a food poisoning, you know, I just
Speaker 1: kept waiting.
Speaker 6: For the crazy bathroom visit or something. It didn't happen.
Speaker 7: You can't not learn a lesson from this just because
Speaker 7: you didn't get sick.
Speaker 1: By the way, this whole scenario as a Bonk and
Speaker 1: I were doing the debriefing afterwards, she was.
Speaker 6: Trying to find the word for how she felt.
Speaker 1: She I think we landed on disbelief and she was
Speaker 1: just laughing and she's like, I've been with you for
Speaker 1: ten years, how is this still surprising?
Speaker 2: And that's beautiful, that's romance, baby. Yeah.
Speaker 1: She was like kind of impressed. I think I think
Speaker 1: impressed the word yeah, yeah, interesting.
Speaker 5: Cast in an impressive way. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I just I just really wasn't ready.
Speaker 7: That's why I screamed though, my God, like that I
Speaker 7: wasn't ready for the part where you intentionally digested all
Speaker 7: the soap.
Speaker 6: Well, because I thought I would it all off. I
Speaker 6: thought I burnt it all off with.
Speaker 4: Then ho, dan, I want someone to approach like I
Speaker 4: want an older gentleman to approach you at a bar
Speaker 4: and be like.
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, buddy, how do you keep the marriage alive?
Speaker 2: How do you keep the romance alive? And you story?
Speaker 4: All right, well, grub you your train got derailed?
Speaker 2: How was that? Yeah, it was fine.
Speaker 5: It was not a big deal. It was It was
Speaker 5: a little scary in the moment. Yeah, I was on
Speaker 5: the Christmas train. We were going to the North Pole
Speaker 5: with the kids, and and that turns out that's like
Speaker 5: fifteen minutes away in Ohio. And no, not the not
Speaker 5: the shoot North Pole. Thanks for asking. Okay, yeah, uh yeah.
Speaker 5: They just dressed up into a little town in Ohio
Speaker 5: kind of like the North Pole. And then you go
Speaker 5: from one spot to there.
Speaker 2: Do the kids think it's the shooting north Pole?
Speaker 5: Some of the kids do, some of them. Emmy was
Speaker 5: definitely like, this ain't the real North Pole. Okay, all right,
Speaker 5: I'm kind of fun.
Speaker 2: Anyways, they play along a little bit.
Speaker 7: Look, at no point in my young childhood did I
Speaker 7: think that that Mickey Mouse costume person was actually Mickey Mouse.
Speaker 2: But we all play along. It's fun.
Speaker 5: Yep, exactly, it's playing along. It's a good time. The
Speaker 5: kids are enjoying it. Until as soon as you pull
Speaker 5: in there, uh, the whole train starts rocking in a
Speaker 5: way that does not feel normal and begins to.
Speaker 2: Lean just slightly to the right.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 5: And so I grabbed the kid. Then the table started
Speaker 5: to slide as we were bumping more. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 5: we were leaning way more than I thought.
Speaker 2: Are the kids reacting here?
Speaker 5: The kids? The kids, it was like bumpy, but like
Speaker 5: not so bumpy that I think they were like immediately
Speaker 5: assuming fight or flight, like, but but I did, uh.
Speaker 5: And then I think once I grabbed the kids, they
Speaker 5: were like, oh, okay, you know, they don't know what
Speaker 5: to do. They just kind of freeze. So yeah, I
Speaker 5: grabbed them. And it's sort of like was skidding to
Speaker 5: a slow stop, and the back half of the train
Speaker 5: was still slightly on the tracks. The front half of
Speaker 5: the train was still slightly on the tracks, and we
Speaker 5: were just part of this part of the part that
Speaker 5: like bowed out.
Speaker 2: So we had to get off, and we had to
Speaker 2: get out of that car.
Speaker 5: We went up to some of the other cars and
Speaker 5: they gave us the option to like just leave and
Speaker 5: go get an uber. So I'm like, I'm doing that,
Speaker 5: And turned out there was a bar right there, Winking Lizard,
Speaker 5: which is a tavern a beer establishment.
Speaker 2: This is how.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: I don't like that.
Speaker 7: I got I got mad that Jeff just just said
Speaker 7: it's like a B Dubs, which isn't wrong, but you
Speaker 7: should have like clarified that it's way better.
Speaker 5: Also, I'll say my personal history with Winking Lizard has
Speaker 5: not been as pop as.
Speaker 2: Some Winking Lizard.
Speaker 5: We we would go to Winking Lizard for like the
Speaker 5: they had like two dollars paps blue ribbons and on
Speaker 5: Wednesdays we'd go there everywhere and then. So my association
Speaker 5: was with the kind of crowd that shows up for
Speaker 5: two dollars paps blue ribbons, and that's what I associate
Speaker 5: Winking Listen.
Speaker 7: I mean, it's possible for the company that you keep listen.
Speaker 5: I know it's not Winking Lizard's fault. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 5: It came in clutched this night when my train derailed.
Speaker 2: So there you go.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So yeah, I just went. I took an uber
Speaker 5: an half an hour back to the train station to
Speaker 5: get the van anout half hour back to drive. It
Speaker 5: was really snowy. It was like a blizzard, so it's
Speaker 5: pretty wild. But no, you know, six hundred people on
Speaker 5: the train, no one got hurt. They it did take
Speaker 5: them a long time to get the buses to bring
Speaker 5: most of the people back to their cars because most
Speaker 5: people did not get off to get an uber. So
Speaker 5: I'm glad that we did not wait around for that.
Speaker 5: But yeah, this was the last train of the season,
Speaker 5: and it is the only time that this has ever
Speaker 5: happened to them, So just a very, very weird thing.
Speaker 5: They've been doing this for like ten years. Yeah, I
Speaker 5: was just unlucky.
Speaker 2: Maybe they should have put decrease or on the train tracks.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that hasn't hurt anybody before, I know, right, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Mike, did you have any near death experiences?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 7: No, I think my holidays were comparatively pretty boring. I
Speaker 7: just got sick at New Year's for a bit. I
Speaker 7: just had like a science infection, So it was just
Speaker 7: a good excuse to stay inside a bunch, right, I
Speaker 7: didn't have to go to a New Year's party, which
Speaker 7: at that point I'd already seen everybody anyways, So yeah, no,
Speaker 7: I don't know. I saw about these these Christmas decorations
Speaker 7: behind me. I'm starting to feel bad about that, so
Speaker 7: I gotta start cleaning things and putting stuff away and whatnot.
Speaker 5: But different Christmas.
Speaker 7: I got a Star Trek, the next generation Christmas train.
Speaker 2: Not Christmas train, just a train, a model train. Ooh,
Speaker 2: that's exciting, that is very cool.
Speaker 1: Got my casey Joe's from Dad. That's build up in
Speaker 1: the freezer now I want.
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, I'm gonna do that every year for Christmas.
Speaker 5: And I ate it all and I'm like, I might
Speaker 5: do it every month. It's so damn good.
Speaker 1: Also incredibly good in the sub Yeah.
Speaker 2: I had it for Christmas Eve, which was nice.
Speaker 7: I just boiled it and then I put it out
Speaker 7: in like a little sheep pan and coated it with
Speaker 7: the sauce and then put it in the emph but
Speaker 7: to kind of like tack up and get some taste.
Speaker 2: It was fantastic. Nice.
Speaker 4: I got myself a terrible gift. And I realized I
Speaker 4: share a lot on this podcast. I'm not going to
Speaker 4: share this one. I fuck it.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: So, as y'all know, I bought too many cigarettes in Japan,
Speaker 4: and then I thought all right, I don't know how
Speaker 4: to get rid of this. Maybe I can pawn it
Speaker 4: off on a friend, just give it to them. And
Speaker 4: I did that during the Game Awards. But I still
Speaker 4: have a whole other card. And then I'm like, you
Speaker 4: know what, what are other ways in? Just nicotine? And
Speaker 4: I pop over to the local gas station and uh,
Speaker 4: don't worry. Uh, And I'm like, huh, what's that thing
Speaker 4: that says zin?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 4: I I I buy a package of Zin. And then
Speaker 4: I realized that their tobacco or nicotine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're your zin head now.
Speaker 4: No, it's not to It's just a pouch that you
Speaker 4: stick in your gum. And then I was two minutes
Speaker 4: into a pouch. I felt like you reaching a plane
Speaker 4: of zen. Sure, yeah, and then and then I felt
Speaker 4: like dying. And then I persisted, and then I felt
Speaker 4: kind of okay. And then I, uh, I'm not saying
Speaker 4: I had built up a small dependency over the short
Speaker 4: period of time, but I was like, this is kind
Speaker 4: of nice. Despite wanting to throw up, I'm on the
Speaker 4: last pouch.
Speaker 2: Now. I promised everyone that I stop.
Speaker 5: You want to hear how that's Tucker Carlson's favorite God
Speaker 5: damn it. We got our own talker now, whoa, yeah,
Speaker 5: all right, all my friends are ingesting poison this year?
Speaker 2: Great, that's right, okay cool?
Speaker 4: Uh. I also went camping, but before camping, pro move, folks,
Speaker 4: if you're camping somewhere far away, go fucking stay in
Speaker 4: a hotel the night before, because then you'll be already
Speaker 4: charging shit after a dry Yeah, but I stayed in
Speaker 4: Palm Springs, and I didn't realize that the hotel that
Speaker 4: I booked was very very very very very lgbt Q.
Speaker 4: I a friendly because after I went back to the
Speaker 4: car to go grab some stuff, and as soon as
Speaker 4: I hop into the elevator, there were three men in
Speaker 4: leather gimsuits and they wished me happy New Year. They
Speaker 4: were very friendly. They asked if I wanted to slice
Speaker 4: a pizza.
Speaker 2: I declined.
Speaker 6: Was it three guys in a gimsuit holding a pizza?
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 4: One of them had like a cool dog mask, though,
Speaker 4: and then I felt compelled to ask, like, where do
Speaker 4: you get that? Because that kind of looks cool? But yeah, yeah, fantastic.
Speaker 4: I'm glad we all had a pleasant holiday.
Speaker 5: Do you think it was Do you think that was
Speaker 5: also a chain together a cosplay like that time we
Speaker 5: were having that lunch and we saw those people together
Speaker 5: and we were like, oh are they are they sexual
Speaker 5: deviance or are they doing a chain together?
Speaker 1: It was so weird because nothing else about them screamed
Speaker 1: sexual deviant. They were dressed like just normal ass clothes,
Speaker 1: but just like a weird chain situation between them.
Speaker 5: Uh huh?
Speaker 2: Do you okay?
Speaker 4: These these men in these leather gimsuits, they didn't have
Speaker 4: like proper shoes on. Are like leather or those types
Speaker 4: of leather suits? Are they like onesies? They got built
Speaker 4: in shoesies?
Speaker 2: Yea.
Speaker 7: I saw like a TikTok or something of like some
Speaker 7: lady cosplayer who was in a kind of a onesie
Speaker 7: and she just like took like she like unzipped something
Speaker 7: on like the bottom part and just tilted it and
Speaker 7: like two leaders of sweat came out of it. And
Speaker 7: that's how I'm thinking about with these gipseys TikTok.
Speaker 2: Yes, nothing sexy about.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on that scene in the Jackass
Speaker 1: movie where they're on the treadmill and they sweat into
Speaker 1: that student then drink it.
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't one. Oh it's like a whole cup
Speaker 2: give me a break.
Speaker 7: It was definitely a TikTok or a Facebook or what
Speaker 7: TikTok or one of those TikTok ajacent things that every
Speaker 7: social media platform they just became TikTok.
Speaker 2: Well, soon will become TikTok.
Speaker 7: You're not gonna try to pin anything weird on me today, Dan,
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna take it. Don't anybody come in here like, well,
Speaker 7: there's a difference between weird and dumb.
Speaker 2: No, there's not. Those are not two exclusive things. Something
Speaker 2: can be dumb and weird, not weird.
Speaker 6: I'll take dumb.
Speaker 2: I might be the weird one. That's right. It is.
Speaker 5: It is dumb to put the asparagus in the thing
Speaker 5: without checking what the liquid was. It is weird to
Speaker 5: know what it is and then eat it like that.
Speaker 5: It's just two different that.
Speaker 2: There was also lazy.
Speaker 1: There was some logic that, well, I didn't have other asparagus.
Speaker 1: I didn't have backup asparagus.
Speaker 2: You just don't eat exparagus.
Speaker 5: That one night was I gonna.
Speaker 2: Have not my toothell out? Weird were insane trying to
Speaker 2: fix the camera. I think everything I did was reasonable.
Speaker 2: This is our own No, no, it's not. You can't
Speaker 2: think that. That can't be your take away from it.
Speaker 1: Well, considering literally everyone that knows me thinks that was insane,
Speaker 1: even for me, maybe they're all wrong.
Speaker 4: You know, Dan, I've known you for quite a while
Speaker 4: as well. That is not the most insane thing. Thank you,
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 5: I think it's just weird you didn't have asparagus in reserve.
Speaker 1: I mean, I had Brussels sprouts, but I had not
Speaker 1: done the research on how to properly prepare it yet,
Speaker 1: so I didn't feel comfortable.
Speaker 2: He just put it in there with some salt and pepper,
Speaker 2: and so that's.
Speaker 5: How you do all the vegetables in the air. Fiar.
Speaker 1: We all can't be the same temperature and time.
Speaker 2: Maybe the time is different, but you can check it.
Speaker 4: Hey. Game of the Year came out over the holiday break.
Speaker 4: We recorded those podcasts while we were all down in
Speaker 4: Los Angeles. Uh, and I suggest you go check those out.
Speaker 4: We did four days of podcasts, three days of categories,
Speaker 4: and then day four we crowned our Game of the Year.
Speaker 4: A lot of fun discussions, fun times. We had one
Speaker 4: of my favorite games of the years that I've done here.
Speaker 2: Yes, that was a lot of fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we also snuck in a little Secret Santa at
Speaker 4: the tippy top of day four. If you're a podcast listener,
Speaker 4: I suggest you check out the YouTube video for that
Speaker 4: because you need the visual component of the secret Santa
Speaker 4: gifts that we all got for each other. Special shout
Speaker 4: out though to Ash audio engineer that helped us out
Speaker 4: and hung out with.
Speaker 2: Us the whole time.
Speaker 4: I was not expecting someone to to have a live
Speaker 4: audience of a really nice and neat mixer dude, and
Speaker 4: then Zach for joining us on day two to help
Speaker 4: switch cameras and everything.
Speaker 2: As always.
Speaker 4: Special shouts out to Emma as well. Let's talk about games.
Speaker 5: Should put a game on.
Speaker 2: This lit.
Speaker 4: Ca well Dan figures out his camera woes. I have
Speaker 4: to tell you guys about my newest addiction, and no
Speaker 4: it's not Zen because I've kicked that habit because of
Speaker 4: Jeff Grubb. Thank you, You're welcome. I'm gonna name my
Speaker 4: third dog after you. Marvel Rivals Folks has dominated my
Speaker 4: game time, my gaming time out during the break. I'm
Speaker 4: playing too much of this game. I've not touched competitive
Speaker 4: at all. I'm just matching it for fun. I'm just
Speaker 4: playing for fun and having fun. Go figure. I know
Speaker 4: that it's gone the bad rap initially because.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's an Overwatch clone. Oh I'm so sick of Marvel.
Speaker 4: But as someone like like I've mentioned previously, i'd never
Speaker 4: got into the Overwatch boom. I am a fan of Marvel,
Speaker 4: and I do enjoy that there are an obscene amount
Speaker 4: of heroes to choose from that, and there's some light
Speaker 4: variety because my TikTok algorithm won't show me cosplay ladies
Speaker 4: with sweat dripping out of their boots, but it will
Speaker 4: show me different character showcases or character tutorials in Marvel Rivals,
Speaker 4: and I'll see one of those, and then I'll hop
Speaker 4: back into Marvel Rivals and just like, all right, let's go.
Speaker 2: Check this out. Oh, I'm really good at this.
Speaker 4: And over the span of like the two weeks two
Speaker 4: week break, I every two three days I would switch
Speaker 4: to a new hero and think that I'm absolutely amazing.
Speaker 4: But I'm still too scared to hop into competitive or ranked.
Speaker 4: But man, it's just so damn fun. Like God, I
Speaker 4: don't care which class or I'm playing as like whether
Speaker 4: it's the tank DPS or the healing class, because I
Speaker 4: feel like all of them are so well balanced enough,
Speaker 4: and because since I'm just doing the quick matches, people
Speaker 4: don't know anything about team comps, so we'll have a
Speaker 4: team full of tanks and then no one has the
Speaker 4: ability to heal and all right, I guess I should
Speaker 4: heal someone or try and heal as many people as possible.
Speaker 4: So I'll just want to pop it in as Cloak
Speaker 4: and Dagger or my girl in a snow and then
Speaker 4: we'll have a little rave.
Speaker 5: It's great. I'm having so much fun, guys.
Speaker 4: I would really enjoy playing with y'all again.
Speaker 7: We should do that again, especially once the Fantastic Four
Speaker 7: come out. I'm trying to check my like Overwatch snobbery
Speaker 7: a little bit, like I have like two minds of
Speaker 7: the whole we're releasing four heroes at once thing, and
Speaker 7: like just how many heroes they release with, because I'm like,
Speaker 7: you can't possibly balance four heroes at once.
Speaker 2: That's ridiculous.
Speaker 5: And they're like, you're right, Mike Mana, we don't care, right, And.
Speaker 7: I'm like, yeah, maybe that's part of the problem with
Speaker 7: Overwatch is that they cared so much about violence. Now,
Speaker 7: the part of the reason why they cared is because
Speaker 7: there is such an influencer culture around Overwatch, and there
Speaker 7: are some people watching these videos and like those people
Speaker 7: would be like, well, this this hero is trashing. This
Speaker 7: hero is good. So everybody'd be like, well that must
Speaker 7: that's correct then, and that matters to what I'm doing
Speaker 7: playing in Silver Teer, right. It became this big problem.
Speaker 7: So yeah, maybe it's better just to discard that. I
Speaker 7: definitely want to play more. I know there's another complaint
Speaker 7: I hear about the game is just that the servers
Speaker 7: aren't amazing and sometimes the lag can be kind of
Speaker 7: if you hear there. I don't know how much of
Speaker 7: an actual problem that is, but I'd be down to
Speaker 7: play with some more for sure.
Speaker 5: Yes. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I got the chance to talk to some of the
Speaker 4: Marvel Rivals team during the TGA's actually and very cool
Speaker 4: dope team through and through, and one of like the
Speaker 4: design principles or developed for principles that someone had told
Speaker 4: me was like, yeah, I just told my team to
Speaker 4: just like fucking make a dope ass game. We'll figure
Speaker 4: out all the balancing shit later. And that's why I
Speaker 4: love that they're just gonna drop four new characters, four
Speaker 4: different classes. Uh this Friday Grub. I think you and
Speaker 4: Finelle yesterday we're talking about the possibility of maybe some
Speaker 4: of the characters being paired together, just because that's how
Speaker 4: Cloak and Dagger are. But no, it looks like there
Speaker 4: could be four individual characters for individual characters.
Speaker 5: Yep. Yeah, they all look really really good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they all look hot.
Speaker 5: They look hot as hell.
Speaker 2: Okay, Oh no Dan, Yeah, oh that's good.
Speaker 5: Okay, No, it's is it good?
Speaker 2: Are you recording?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 2: How are you bad?
Speaker 5: Mic?
Speaker 2: Dan? Oh?
Speaker 5: Hang on, he looks like a bad ape.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's going on that this mic? Okay, yes, is
Speaker 2: this good? It's bad? Oh?
Speaker 4: Uh, stop your audio report.
Speaker 5: You ever see that image with human Yeah?
Speaker 2: There we go. Oh yeah, yeah, that's good.
Speaker 5: That's what Dan looks like right now.
Speaker 6: Okay, I guess I could just hold this.
Speaker 5: You can just point a view decreasing.
Speaker 2: Okay, uh the for audio list, there's Dan has switched
Speaker 2: to a phone.
Speaker 5: A phone for his camera. He was gone for a while.
Speaker 5: When Jam was talking about a game, Dan very rudely
Speaker 5: just left to go do this and yeah, and now
Speaker 5: he's still trying to fix it. The camera was way
Speaker 5: up close to his face. We were seeing his mouth
Speaker 5: and his eyes.
Speaker 6: It's a wide you know, Okay, look at that.
Speaker 2: That's all good. Yeah, yeah, it's good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Marvel Rivals is great. I think there's something for
Speaker 4: everyone there. No matter what type of character action shooter
Speaker 4: you enjoy, there is a character for you. That being said,
Speaker 4: I hate everyone that plays Iron Man the guy except
Speaker 4: he was fun except Dan. Also, it's just so hilarious
Speaker 4: how frail spider Man is and how terrible I feel
Speaker 4: every time like I'll take out a spider Man.
Speaker 2: Why yeah, because like no.
Speaker 4: Because spider Man's like oh Peter Parker on no group responsibility.
Speaker 1: Oh, spider Man is a character. Oh no, I I
Speaker 1: meant to say he sucks in the game as a character.
Speaker 1: But I also I very much think spider Man the
Speaker 1: character sucks.
Speaker 5: Ass.
Speaker 2: Oh yes.
Speaker 1: I had to stop watching that No Way Home movie
Speaker 1: that everyone said was even if you don't like Marvel movies,
Speaker 1: try this. It's like I never stop a movie halfway through.
Speaker 1: I could not make it through that. There's a homecoming?
Speaker 6: Is that homecoming? What was the first one with the
Speaker 6: new guy?
Speaker 5: It was Homecoming?
Speaker 6: I couldn't make it through that.
Speaker 7: I mean, it's not a great movie. I don't Yeah, whatever,
Speaker 7: but spider Man is a cool guy. No, he's got
Speaker 7: me two whiney, I.
Speaker 6: Think idiot kid, Like, I just why am I rooting
Speaker 6: for this guy?
Speaker 7: Man, you have very you have very narrow views on
Speaker 7: what kind of heroes you like. Snake, that's yeah, your
Speaker 7: entire Joan the hero is is based entirely on eighties
Speaker 7: action movies.
Speaker 4: Thinking about eighties action movies, Mike Manati, I see that
Speaker 4: you beat it Indiana Jones.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 7: Yes, uh, that's something I was kind of doing through
Speaker 7: the holidays. There was finishing up Indiana Jones. It was
Speaker 7: a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: It's interesting.
Speaker 7: I hear a lot of different like people having peaks
Speaker 7: and valleys with the game, like like Jeff started kind
Speaker 7: of mellow and got high on it by the end.
Speaker 7: Dan started off pretty high seats like and then kind
Speaker 7: of fell off it to even finish it.
Speaker 2: It's a really good it's a really good game.
Speaker 6: But then it made me swim and I had an
Speaker 6: instant death snake section.
Speaker 2: But I was like, that was they didn't want to
Speaker 2: see the ending.
Speaker 1: I want you play the ending. And I was like,
Speaker 1: oh man, that was pretty good, yeah, pretty good.
Speaker 2: Huh yeah that the end stuff is great. I don't.
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna spoil anything there, but like some of
Speaker 7: the some of just like the shots that you got
Speaker 7: from it, I was like, Man, this wasn't a movie.
Speaker 7: Uh this this would breathe some iconic stuff. Probably they'd
Speaker 7: be showing us off forever. Good good, good good stuff there,
Speaker 7: Like the final kind of boss fight I thought was
Speaker 7: all really neat. But yeah, like I feel like I'm
Speaker 7: weird because I was just basically like, I like this,
Speaker 7: and then I liked it the entire way. I never
Speaker 7: got to a section of the game where I thought
Speaker 7: the quality dipped or maybe even got significantly better. I
Speaker 7: know some people maybe don't like the third area and
Speaker 7: some of the kind of boat stuff you do there,
Speaker 7: but I'm a big fan of the boat stuff.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie jungle cruise, right, you.
Speaker 5: Know, yeah I could have guessed that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so that was making me happy.
Speaker 7: It is funny because like, the game's not doing any
Speaker 7: particular thing amazingly well, but it's just the right balance
Speaker 7: of all this familiar stuff. And it's a bit of
Speaker 7: a unique balance of all this familiar stuff. The expiration,
Speaker 7: the puzzle solving, right, the action that just feels really
Speaker 7: good and it feels very Indiana Jones. It's a big
Speaker 7: part liking the game is just I like Indiana Jones
Speaker 7: a lot, and it feels awesome to have, you know what,
Speaker 7: does feel like the best Indiana Jones story that I've
Speaker 7: seen for me since Fate of Atlantis and then you know,
Speaker 7: going back, you know, maybe since Last Crusade. Right, we're
Speaker 7: talking movies. So I was very pleased with it. I
Speaker 7: had a good time with that. I hope they do more.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that that Indian really does bring everything together, amplify
Speaker 5: like it amplies the stakes, introduced some like last new
Speaker 5: cool things, and yeah, I was really really happy with it.
Speaker 5: It's it's a good game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I haven't checked it out yet, but I intend
Speaker 4: to soon.
Speaker 5: You got you got game pass again, right, it's on there.
Speaker 4: I got game Pass again because someone said just do it.
Speaker 4: Speaking about game pass, yes, God about game Pass. Something
Speaker 4: that I checked out real quick last night and I've
Speaker 4: seen the interwebs talking about it pervently during the holiday
Speaker 4: break is nine Souls Grub.
Speaker 2: You checked this out briefly, right, I did.
Speaker 5: I I'm gonna say I bounced off of it. I
Speaker 5: kind of feel bad about that. A little bit, because
Speaker 5: everyone seems to love it so much, and it's Metro Advane,
Speaker 5: it should be my thing. I I don't know, I
Speaker 5: just I don't remember a ton of it. But what
Speaker 5: I remember thinking is like, some of these gimmicks are
Speaker 5: just not working for me, not clicking for me. And
Speaker 5: there was other Metro Adveners I wanted to play.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I'm in the same boat. I think
Speaker 4: I'm quicker to bounce off. I've maybe spent like two
Speaker 4: or so hours in and it's pleasant. I do enjoy
Speaker 4: the character designs and how it looks. Yeah, sure, based
Speaker 4: off of like any screenshots that I've seen, the game
Speaker 4: quickly derails like Grub's Holiday Train into like a different
Speaker 4: type of story, and I'm not necessary really clicking with
Speaker 4: the story. Maybe the Metroid venus I click with kind
Speaker 4: of just dump you into the action faster.
Speaker 2: And is that what it was?
Speaker 5: That might be what it was for me, And that's
Speaker 5: that's a shame, because that's always what it is with me.
Speaker 5: I thought I thought it was interesting this time.
Speaker 4: Never mind, Uh, yeah, it just took quite a while
Speaker 4: to get in there. I do enjoy the pair the
Speaker 4: pairing system. That was fun and like the talisman blowing
Speaker 4: up stuff that you get early on in the beginning. Hey,
Speaker 4: anytime you can parry like a big, gigantic character or
Speaker 4: a boss, I'm all for that, Mike. I'm curious, though,
Speaker 4: how would you feel if Mega Man could parry?
Speaker 2: Hmm?
Speaker 7: You know, like initially, I'm like Megnae doesn't need a perry.
Speaker 7: Then they gave Samus a parry and that ship felt
Speaker 7: real good.
Speaker 6: A Mega Man.
Speaker 2: You kind of have that with the z X games,
Speaker 2: especially Advance, you know what. Pretty good. I would love
Speaker 2: to see them go like lean really deep into that. Actually,
Speaker 2: I think it'd be fun, like.
Speaker 7: Even like to the point where you have like the
Speaker 7: eight Boss stores just kind of around the world. And Yeah,
Speaker 7: I'm actually surprised they haven't dived further into that world.
Speaker 7: There must be some there's so many Mega Man fan games,
Speaker 7: somebody must have just basically have made one of those
Speaker 7: at this point.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm also bum grub that I haven't really clicked
Speaker 4: with Nine Souls more than I did. Maybe's stick with
Speaker 4: it a bit more because I do enjoy the look.
Speaker 4: It's a pleasant cat looking person. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: After some other metroid veins they came out last year
Speaker 4: as well. It's kind of hard to just stick with
Speaker 4: one that isn't immediately grabbing me speaking about I think that's.
Speaker 5: What the thing is, was sorry. That is the thing
Speaker 5: with metroid Vein is that maybe the reason I like
Speaker 5: them so much is I am usually caught in their
Speaker 5: web immediately like it, just like they throw me in
Speaker 5: the world, give me some stuff, be like, all right,
Speaker 5: maybe will either take the stuff away with the abilities,
Speaker 5: or we're going to make it very clear that if
Speaker 5: you just go a little you're gonna get something cool,
Speaker 5: and then that's going to enable you to get another
Speaker 5: thing cool. I'm like, okay, I'm in the loop. Let's go.
Speaker 5: And I just didn't feel that with Nine Souls right away.
Speaker 5: And again that's my impatience and stuff like that. But
Speaker 5: that's just what I like for Mitroy Venus.
Speaker 7: Real quick, somebody somebody found the sweat video. It was
Speaker 7: It was just on Twitter. It turns out, did you
Speaker 7: guys want to watch it and react? Yeah, there's no
Speaker 7: pornography on Twitter. Yeah, I send it to the I
Speaker 7: send it to our channel here. You sure you don't want.
Speaker 2: To watch it?
Speaker 7: It's boy, it's even more than I remembered. I think
Speaker 7: she stressed up like a Evangeline character.
Speaker 2: What's that show called Evangelian?
Speaker 4: Yeah, geez, get cultured man, Joel Austin over here, huh. Well,
Speaker 4: you know, watching videos on Twitter can be very tricky,
Speaker 4: whether or not it is going to be adult content
Speaker 4: or something else.
Speaker 2: But Dan, I'm.
Speaker 1: Assuming this is you Tricky Madness. Yeah, Ben Hansen told
Speaker 1: me about this. It's in early access. It's only got
Speaker 1: like two stages. Just look up any image or two
Speaker 1: seconds of video of Tricky Madness and tell me what
Speaker 1: you think of IT'SX. It is like it seems like
Speaker 1: legally actionable SSX.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, big ass.
Speaker 1: Floating snowflake score multipliers. Just the way you're doing the
Speaker 1: tricks and everything, it's exactly what. Like, I love snowboarding games.
Speaker 1: I love you know, cool borders and ten eighty and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. SSX is always my number one like
Speaker 1: go to, and so just playing a new thing that's
Speaker 1: being made now that is just straight up SSX makes
Speaker 1: me happy.
Speaker 2: So I didn't like Deadly Dissent.
Speaker 1: I thought that one was like we're adding like weird
Speaker 1: like temperature gear and stuff like.
Speaker 6: That's that's not what I want for my SSX at all.
Speaker 1: It's very early access, but just playing it, it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: they got the feel right. It feels like SSX. Uh
Speaker 1: So I will be monitoring this as it keeps going forward.
Speaker 1: But I've been playing on the Steam deck. Works great there,
Speaker 1: but it's just got like a race thing and a
Speaker 1: show off mode.
Speaker 6: That's pretty much Yet.
Speaker 5: What is the agreed upon on best SSX?
Speaker 2: Okay, Tricky.
Speaker 1: I firstly did that top twenty, top one hundred of
Speaker 1: the last twenty five years thing, and some people were
Speaker 1: mad at me that I put three instead of Tricky,
Speaker 1: and it was something I had to consider because I
Speaker 1: love both of them. Tricky is like a much better
Speaker 1: version of one, and I like the uber moves and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Three, with the whole like one mountain
Speaker 1: thing and the branching paths, I just thought there was
Speaker 1: more there to three. But I couldn't argue anyone saying Tricky.
Speaker 1: They're both incredible games. I think people are pretty split
Speaker 1: on that. I'm team three, but I think it's yeah.
Speaker 1: I think it's a dead heat. I got I got
Speaker 1: to bring up the sweat thing one more time to
Speaker 1: defend myself. Everyone's like algorithm algorithm. It was on Twitter.
Speaker 1: Somebody just retweeted.
Speaker 5: It my feet Okay, too much, I might be.
Speaker 1: I have to.
Speaker 2: When everyone comes out me like this around it.
Speaker 6: Kind of feels like we're not coming at you too hard.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we moved off.
Speaker 2: Yeah about so no.
Speaker 1: Take away from this episode where ye ye help your
Speaker 1: cause you're seeing me.
Speaker 2: This is helping, This.
Speaker 6: Is helping Mike.
Speaker 4: Someone run a pole in the chat now, because I
Speaker 4: think it is a little weird. How gleeful you are, Mike,
Speaker 4: and how how worked up you're getting. He's vibrating.
Speaker 7: I'm always vibrating. You know this about me? You see
Speaker 7: me in person. I don't even watch the video yet.
Speaker 2: I'm good. That's what you mean.
Speaker 1: You a gun point to watch the entirety of them.
Speaker 1: You can just past them.
Speaker 2: I just it just a surprising amount of sweat. It's gross. Okay,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 5: Many people have voted that you're not weird about sweat, Mike.
Speaker 5: Don't worry.
Speaker 2: Many of the fantastic double Dan didn't get any votes.
Speaker 4: When we get to pull being weird, well, Dan, uh,
Speaker 4: you know we talked a bunch about the asparagus. Did
Speaker 4: you feel the need to apply mouthwash after eating a
Speaker 4: bunch of that.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Mouthwashing. Okay, this is one of those things that I
Speaker 1: thought that, like, okay, uh, I didn't look too much
Speaker 1: into it before I played it. I was just intrigued
Speaker 1: by like the look and kind of the way people
Speaker 1: were talking about this game and stuff. You know, people
Speaker 1: weren't spoiling anything, but just like the vibe around this game.
Speaker 5: Have you played how Fisher made?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: Were you in the stream when I played that?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, no.
Speaker 1: No, So I was like, I'm just going to download
Speaker 1: this site I'm seeing. It was the break I had
Speaker 1: some time. I heard it was just a couple hours long,
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know what, even if this
Speaker 1: is not my type of thing, like I figure because
Speaker 1: I know it was a talkie story based thing, but
Speaker 1: I was like.
Speaker 2: It's two hours.
Speaker 1: I can and that's a movie, you know, which is
Speaker 1: why you know, something like a thousand times resisted metaphor.
Speaker 1: I couldn't just get my toe into that. That's a
Speaker 1: much bigger commitment. Yeah, holy shit, I love this game.
Speaker 1: Mouthwashing was fucking awesome and incredibly well told story. There's
Speaker 1: just a handful of characters that are all extremely interesting
Speaker 1: and fleshed out. I mean there's almost no like real
Speaker 1: gamey part of it. It is just kind of like
Speaker 1: walking from thing to thing and seeing these vignettes kind
Speaker 1: of play out and very kind of non linear storytelling,
Speaker 1: you know, pull fiction style, but yeah, just the mystery
Speaker 1: of what happened to the ship, and then like learning
Speaker 1: about all these different characters, and there is a lot
Speaker 1: of like you know, it's not full on like wrestling
Speaker 1: style like hel Babyface turns. It's much more subtle than that,
Speaker 1: but there is like oh, okay, I'm this guy. And
Speaker 1: then it's like wait, I think I suck, and it's
Speaker 1: like what this kuy sucks. It's like, wait, don't know,
Speaker 1: that's actually kind of a sad story. That's actually, oh,
Speaker 1: that's kind of a sympathetic story. That's It's there's just
Speaker 1: a layer of depth to the characters in this game
Speaker 1: that I am not used to in games, because maybe
Speaker 1: a big part of it is because I don't seek
Speaker 1: these type of games out. I'm sure you're a thousand
Speaker 1: times Resists and all those, you know, I have plenty
Speaker 1: of deep characters, but I don't my tone in there
Speaker 1: that much.
Speaker 6: I don't see it much.
Speaker 5: So that's like there's a lot of a thousand times
Speaker 5: resist games either, Like.
Speaker 2: Sure, but I don't just go leazy.
Speaker 1: I'm like, look, obviously, there's a bunch of like deep
Speaker 1: deeper characters and stories and games that I haven't seen.
Speaker 1: This one I just really really thought was incredibly well done.
Speaker 1: The esthetic was incredible, but more than anything, just the
Speaker 1: characters themselves. I was just like, awesome, this is this
Speaker 1: is fantastic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do want to check it out now.
Speaker 7: I am instantly drawn to the PS one style aesthetic,
Speaker 7: of course.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I was always planning on playing this
Speaker 5: because I really did enjoy how fish are made. I
Speaker 5: believe that's how with.
Speaker 6: The same developer.
Speaker 5: That's from the same developer. Yeah, and that's like another
Speaker 5: one that's like, is that forty five minutes an hour
Speaker 5: that's also worth playing. It's weird and fun, and yeah,
Speaker 5: that's a good one to like just maybe put on
Speaker 5: to begin a stream or something like that. So this
Speaker 5: one's weird.
Speaker 1: It's not like, you know, I didn't know if it
Speaker 1: was gonna be like a horror game or anything going in.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't call it that. It's not a scary game.
Speaker 1: It is unsettling. There's definitely some stuff you have to
Speaker 1: do at times, or it's like, oh well I don't
Speaker 1: like this, Oh I got to go do that again.
Speaker 1: I don't like the sounds on that happens like it's
Speaker 1: I have never played anything like it, and I really
Speaker 1: was over the moon about it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for folks that have played in completed Mouthwashing, I
Speaker 4: think one of the most unsettling moments for me is
Speaker 4: when you have to turn a bunch of cranks to
Speaker 4: get to to get.
Speaker 2: The right flow.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't want to spoil anything.
Speaker 6: Mine was having to feed something ofttimes.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like that very good game. But I think you're right, Dan,
Speaker 4: because I don't know. I love Metaphor. It was my
Speaker 4: number one game on my personal list, But thinking about
Speaker 4: how much time I spent with it, I would go
Speaker 4: back and do that all again. But I just something
Speaker 4: about Mouthwashing and only spending like two and a half
Speaker 4: hours with it just just so like it felt more powerful.
Speaker 4: But maybe that's because like I treat it like a
Speaker 4: movie of like this is a brief and concise, tight experience.
Speaker 4: If anyone has any other REX similar to Mouthwashing, please
Speaker 4: send them my I.
Speaker 5: Was gonna throw this out as well. Yeah, I like
Speaker 5: to get the year started. I'm like, I would like
Speaker 5: to just go beat a video game, and you know
Speaker 5: it would help with that if it was like an
Speaker 5: hour to two hours long. And I was just thinking,
Speaker 5: I'm like, I was gonna put out, Hey, please give
Speaker 5: me some recommendations. I'm gonna start with a mouthwashing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll try it, just to get the vibe of it.
Speaker 1: And like, I just played the whole thing in a
Speaker 1: day and I was walked away super satisfied.
Speaker 5: Yep, but everyone has any more recommendations, Like you know,
Speaker 5: tiny Terry's in a short hike. Things like that. Gave
Speaker 5: me some more of those.
Speaker 2: Oh, I got a short one for you, grub that
Speaker 2: gets right into it.
Speaker 5: You don't please?
Speaker 6: You know what I started again?
Speaker 5: I bet it was very short. Go ahead, please?
Speaker 2: Are you still in the tutorial a couple of hours?
Speaker 2: It's I decided to start Red Dead two again. Why
Speaker 2: I'm ready for the turn? I joined my side.
Speaker 5: It's good.
Speaker 2: I embrace the turn.
Speaker 1: I embrace the like coming at it from like reevaluating
Speaker 1: something in a different space, removed from expectations. I mean,
Speaker 1: we saw it Apple with desk stranding, and I was
Speaker 1: glad to do that that was a very positive experience
Speaker 1: for me to go back and appreciate it. And it's
Speaker 1: the exact same situation with Red Dead two. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm gonna I'm not suddenly pro Red
Speaker 1: Dead two or anything, but I'm saying I'm in the
Speaker 1: right space now where it's I am wondered from the
Speaker 1: expectation I do.
Speaker 2: I am meeting it on its own terms.
Speaker 1: I'm not so because I'm play do the tutorial and
Speaker 1: stuff now and I'm remembering how I felt the first time,
Speaker 1: where it's like, why is it taking me this long
Speaker 1: to open this cabinet and grab this can of beans
Speaker 1: and stuff? But I'm expecting it now this time. Also,
Speaker 1: I'm playing it on PC and that game in four
Speaker 1: K at one hundred and twenty frames a second. Holy shit,
Speaker 1: that game is what seven years old now, and it's
Speaker 1: still just like, how does it look this incredible? So, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm playing it in a totally different circumstance now. I'm
Speaker 1: you know, I'm at the camp. You know, I've started
Speaker 1: like hunting and things like that. It's still kind of
Speaker 1: teaching me the systems. There is still a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff that I'm like oooh boy. Okay, so to grab
Speaker 1: stuff for my horse cargo, I got to hold this
Speaker 1: and then do this, and then to do this I
Speaker 1: got There's just so many goddamn systems and control things
Speaker 1: to remember.
Speaker 5: But have you considered I know a lot of you
Speaker 5: guys don't normally do this, but have you considered mods
Speaker 5: to like make it more your thing?
Speaker 2: I looked at it.
Speaker 1: I saw there were saves where it's like, oh, let's
Speaker 1: get it past. Uh, here's a save file that puts
Speaker 1: you past the opening. It's like, now, if I'm going
Speaker 1: to do it, let's do it.
Speaker 5: And I did look at to like that either, but
Speaker 5: like I would maybe some fundamental systems to the game.
Speaker 5: I would do that.
Speaker 1: I glanced to see if there's like, oh, speedy animations
Speaker 1: or something like that, and there might be something like that.
Speaker 1: But I just at a certain point decided, like, let's
Speaker 1: just do it proper and just see if I can
Speaker 1: meet it on its terms this time. So well, see,
Speaker 1: I mean, I just kind of looked at the calendar
Speaker 1: and I was like, outside of like Donkey Kong Country,
Speaker 1: you know, re release, there's not a whole lot coming
Speaker 1: out in the.
Speaker 2: Next few weeks. It's been nice.
Speaker 6: I'd beata games in the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 5: I should just play those.
Speaker 6: Yeah, those are still super fucking fun.
Speaker 4: Where did you beat those two Castlevania games.
Speaker 6: On my Steam deck and the Dominant collection jam that's right, Yes.
Speaker 2: That's that's that's the decrease serves with you. You never
Speaker 2: mentioned the part where you cut yourself with a state knife,
Speaker 2: by the way, or filled.
Speaker 6: The room with smoke.
Speaker 1: The smoke was not from the decrease or that was
Speaker 1: from the chicken. Yeah, that was several that's what's that.
Speaker 1: That was in the Sioux VD. No. I went to
Speaker 1: go see it in the pan afterwards, but I sprayed.
Speaker 1: I looked again, I googled it. I was like, do
Speaker 1: I put the oil in first or do I heat
Speaker 1: it up first? And they're like, heat it up first,
Speaker 1: then put the oil in and then quickly put the
Speaker 1: gimmick in there. And I did it, and real quick
Speaker 1: it just started smoking everywhere. It's probably too hot too, no,
Speaker 1: because I've seen that before and I know my stove
Speaker 1: runs a little hot. So it said do medium high heat.
Speaker 1: So I did a little blow medium, thinking I was
Speaker 1: airing on the side of caution and it's still just
Speaker 1: filling up. Hey, oil is touchy, like this is yeah,
Speaker 1: but everything need to oil. So it's like I don't
Speaker 1: know how anyone cooks anything. So anyway, well we're talking
Speaker 1: about Castlevania. Yes, I beat Don of Sorrow and Portrait
Speaker 1: of ruin Mike. I was kind of inspired by you
Speaker 1: because I thought like, oh, i'll boot up Donna Sorrow.
Speaker 1: I'll see how it handles kind of the touch stuff
Speaker 1: and everything and whatever. And then Mike, You're like, no,
Speaker 1: I beat all three of them, and it's like, oh shit, right,
Speaker 1: these aren't that long really, even like getting the super
Speaker 1: endings like I did the real endings of Don and
Speaker 1: Portrait and uh oh shit, there's just so much fun.
Speaker 2: They're like seven or eight hours each. Even if you
Speaker 2: do the real.
Speaker 1: It's interesting to go back and be like, oh right,
Speaker 1: Don of Sorrow was the first one on the DS,
Speaker 1: so like that did have a little bit of drawing
Speaker 1: the seals and breaking the gammicked up gets gimmicked up
Speaker 1: a little bit, and Portrait are ruined. I don't think
Speaker 1: there was any touch screen stuff in Portrait. I can't imagine.
Speaker 5: I think they got the backlash from people being like
Speaker 5: this is just get in the way like that was
Speaker 5: in the reviews to be like useless touch screen stuff.
Speaker 5: So they always sort of overcompensated for those things and
Speaker 5: then follow up yeah yeah, and they'll do that with
Speaker 5: Order Ecclesia too. That's where it's like, oh, the formula
Speaker 5: is getting a little bit stale, so now that we're
Speaker 5: going to greatly vastly change up the formula with the
Speaker 5: Order of Eclacy.
Speaker 1: And I remember loving Order. I remember that being like
Speaker 1: a pretty difficult one, so I think I am going
Speaker 1: to move on to Order. But overall, I'd say I
Speaker 1: like Don Better. I really just love that soul system
Speaker 1: that was an Aria of Sorrow also where you just
Speaker 1: killed things then you get their powers. Portrait does the
Speaker 1: gimmick where you're swapping between the characters and there's some
Speaker 1: interesting things you can do there and how they play
Speaker 1: off each other and do tag team attacks and stuff.
Speaker 6: But ultimately I think I like Don Better.
Speaker 2: I remember really liking some of the boss fights and
Speaker 2: Portrait like it was neat how you have a kind
Speaker 2: of there's like the death boss fights and it kind
Speaker 2: of had these phases that made you switch between the
Speaker 2: two characters and then like I think at the end too,
Speaker 2: because you have to the final boss fight isn't just Dracula.
Speaker 2: It's like Dracula and Death. Yeah, so it's a two
Speaker 2: v two Like that's pretty meant.
Speaker 1: It's a Tornado tag against Dracula to tag, right exactly?
Speaker 2: Did you do the I think you had to for
Speaker 2: the the right ending, But that optional Richter fight that's
Speaker 2: real hard.
Speaker 1: Well, you don't have to do that. That's just to
Speaker 1: get the vampire killer, that's right. So the thing you
Speaker 1: have to do to get the real ending is you
Speaker 1: have to get that sanctuary spell for Charlotte, and you
Speaker 1: have to like the vampire those two sisters right right.
Speaker 2: Right right, all that stuff. Yeah, did you do the
Speaker 2: optional Richter fights?
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I got the whip that like homes
Speaker 1: in the like Nebula whip or whatever. So I just
Speaker 1: got just like whipping down at him. Those games kick ass.
Speaker 1: They were just like second, Oh, they're just so good.
Speaker 1: Order is also a ton of fun.
Speaker 7: The formula swap is nice and it is definitely the
Speaker 7: hardest one, which kind of makes things interesting.
Speaker 2: It's just a fantastic collection. So glad they did that
Speaker 2: and absolutely killed it.
Speaker 1: It's just, Yeah, I've been watching Kayla play through Symphony
Speaker 1: for the first time. So while she's been playing Symphony,
Speaker 1: I've been playing these on the Steam deck and it's
Speaker 1: just I'm thinking about like those seven games, specifically Symphony,
Speaker 1: the three g b as, the three DS ones, and
Speaker 1: now that they're all in these collections, they're all easily playable.
Speaker 2: It's just like, what a killer set of games.
Speaker 5: The Weird one.
Speaker 2: It's what you can't play it on switch. It strives
Speaker 2: me crazy, I.
Speaker 6: Know, but you can play it on Xbox and PlayStation.
Speaker 5: Is doing a follow up to Bloodstain.
Speaker 6: I hope so, because I fucking love blood Saying too.
Speaker 5: Blood Sain is really good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, I think so. I think that's Mike.
Speaker 1: I saw you said you like Curse the Moon a lot.
Speaker 1: I I did to the ny Style one and its.
Speaker 2: Sequel to that too. That one's that was great also,
Speaker 2: it's just the best.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Mike, Mike Banada, you've been playing your own collection
Speaker 4: of older games here. I see you've been playing Fantasy
Speaker 4: Star one.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so well, I finished Dragon Quest three HD two
Speaker 7: D and had a great time, and like once I
Speaker 7: was done with that and it was still sort of
Speaker 7: this holiday break, I'm like, I still actually just want
Speaker 7: to play old j RPGs. It turns out and the
Speaker 7: Sega Ages version of Fantasy Star one was on sale
Speaker 7: on Switch, and this is you know, so this was
Speaker 7: a Master System j rpg came out just one year
Speaker 7: after Dragon Quest is still very much like influenced by that.
Speaker 2: It's very early on.
Speaker 5: I think there's a there's like a chance someone listening
Speaker 5: doesn't actually know what the Master System is.
Speaker 2: Oh cool, the master System was so that was Sega's
Speaker 2: console before the Genesis. It was like their NS competitors,
Speaker 2: their eight bit console. And it's weird because, like, you know,
Speaker 2: playing this, this isn't doesn't it doesn't have like retouch
Speaker 2: graphics or anything. The Sega Ages version. It is just
Speaker 2: that game.
Speaker 7: But it's like, oh man, this is like looks noicely
Speaker 7: better than any any S game would. There's just it's
Speaker 7: just more colorful. You don't have as much. Maybe the
Speaker 7: screen flickering was a thing that was there it isn't,
Speaker 7: but yeah, the Master System was more powerful than the Nies.
Speaker 7: It just still wasn't as big of a hit because
Speaker 7: Nintendo was so big.
Speaker 2: Unless you in Brazil yeah, they loved the moss, they
Speaker 2: loved the master system there, but no, gosh, I just
Speaker 2: that was such a fun sort of thing to do,
Speaker 2: especially Christmas week, every night was playing through this very
Speaker 2: old JRPYG. And the Second Age's version does have some
Speaker 2: nice quality of life stuff like it has a whole
Speaker 2: Sake ages mode that turns down the encounter rate a
Speaker 2: bit and increases the XP and gold you get from
Speaker 2: each fight, so still compensates, so you still will go
Speaker 2: through a dungeon and get the same amount of experience
Speaker 2: and money that you should get, just without having to
Speaker 2: grind out quite as many fights. You know, me, I
Speaker 2: don't mind grinding that much. But it still is a
Speaker 2: nice quality of life thing. There's just like easily accessible
Speaker 2: menus that explain what all the spells and all the
Speaker 2: equipment do. It's still, you know, a very old RPG,
Speaker 2: so having a guide online to kind of give you
Speaker 2: a little help.
Speaker 5: What to do.
Speaker 2: You could be very old school and just go and
Speaker 2: blind and explore and talk to every townsperson and kind
Speaker 2: of figure it out. But it's yeah, I don't mind
Speaker 2: having that guide help me there. What state is like?
Speaker 2: You know, back then this game had that first person
Speaker 2: dungeon crawling thing right where it's like, whoa, it looks
Speaker 2: like it's like three D kind of because you know
Speaker 2: you're going down these corridors, you're turning left and right.
Speaker 2: Some any games did that.
Speaker 7: I think, like the Friday the thirteenth were, uh, Fester's
Speaker 7: Quest I think has some.
Speaker 2: Of these you know what I'm talking question?
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, Fester, there's Quess and I'm like, there's still
Speaker 7: something charming about all this.
Speaker 1: Oh god, Bester's Quest Minatti Blake Club, he could be Fester.
Speaker 2: Makeup. Oh my god, it is Fester's Question that bad? Yes,
Speaker 2: the only has a kid? When I had all the patients.
Speaker 5: Owned well, everybody required it. I don't know if I
Speaker 5: actually owned it.
Speaker 2: Everybody in Fester's Quest so fucking bad. Yes, though the
Speaker 2: music's good. Oh that'd be so good. Okay, I'm already missed.
Speaker 2: I won't say anything. I don't say anything.
Speaker 7: That quest, Mitch's Quest that I already looked like Uncle
Speaker 7: Fester the first time I tried to be quant I
Speaker 7: probably still have the white makeup. Great, but yeah, it
Speaker 7: was just a really pleasant play through the Fantasy Star one.
Speaker 7: The whole aesthetic a Fancy Star is really nice to
Speaker 7: kind of colorful space thing. I don't know what you
Speaker 7: call it, but you know when Dragon Ball, like where
Speaker 7: Balma lives, everybody lives in like these giant domes or capsules,
Speaker 7: Like it's dome sci fi. It's not quite Jetsons. It
Speaker 7: doesn't have that fifties Americana spin to it. It's this
Speaker 7: eighties anime. Everyone's living in domes and they're all like
Speaker 7: colored purple. I like that aesthetic a lot. So Fantasy
Speaker 7: Star's cool. I wish it would make a you know,
Speaker 7: all these new all these franchises coming back, and I
Speaker 7: love Fancy Star Online. I'd love they made an actual
Speaker 7: new like single player Fancy Star.
Speaker 2: Jereviygy.
Speaker 7: I played four before the jeffyd Genesis and that's awesome.
Speaker 7: Haven't played two or three. I know people don't like three.
Speaker 7: I might do that, but yes, I beat that, and
Speaker 7: I still still jan. My craving for Classic Jeripeg's was
Speaker 7: not satiated.
Speaker 2: Mike. You talk about the the circular houses, and you
Speaker 2: know what else is circular? Maybe spherical even Yes, this
Speaker 2: is where you fill in the blank. Oh, I say
Speaker 2: earth that's right, earthbound, that's right, Earthbound.
Speaker 7: Gosh, I still just craved more. Especially I love playing
Speaker 7: these games in bed.
Speaker 2: Its kind of my cozy, like, oh, I'm gonna play
Speaker 2: an hour or two of a JRPG and then I'm
Speaker 2: gonna fall asleep. And Earthbound has been such a blind
Speaker 2: spot for me as somebody who loves Nintendo and JRPGs.
Speaker 2: I've started it many times before in the past, like
Speaker 2: ever since, like the Super Nintendo was originally a thing
Speaker 2: of renting it. I always had a little bit difficulty
Speaker 2: getting too far into it, and now, especially you know,
Speaker 2: during when I was sick, I played a lot of it.
Speaker 2: I almost beat it. I'm like, I'm almost.
Speaker 7: There already, and yeah, I'm totally getting it. The quirkiness
Speaker 7: is really fun. It's not like it's never like a
Speaker 7: hilarious game, right, but it's.
Speaker 2: A lot of like, eh, yeah, sensible, yeah, a lot
Speaker 2: of sensible chuck, Like you know, just realizing, Oh, I
Speaker 2: started in one nets.
Speaker 7: Then I go to this town called like like two
Speaker 7: food or something, and then three I'm like, oh, I
Speaker 7: get it. They're just numbering the town's. Ah, that's that's neat, right.
Speaker 2: You go talk to a dog in the store, and
Speaker 2: the dogs like I have been possessed by the spirit
Speaker 2: of the game developer.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna explain to you how equipment words that's good's
Speaker 7: that's very good. I think what helps too is that
Speaker 7: I've played so much more like Dragon Quest now, and
Speaker 7: that's really much more what this is like. It's a
Speaker 7: lot like Dragon Quests more so than it's like a
Speaker 7: Final Fantasy per se with some of that old school stuff.
Speaker 7: Especially like the one thing that I bet will great
Speaker 7: people and even great to me a little bit is
Speaker 7: the strict inventory stuff. Whreach character has their own inventory
Speaker 7: and it's kind of limited, and even key items and
Speaker 7: they like equipped stuff you have is gonna take up
Speaker 7: slots there, so constantly sort of juggling the equipment and
Speaker 7: transferring it between people, you have to like call your
Speaker 7: sister and she'll send somebody to pick up stuff don't want.
Speaker 7: So that is maybe a little bit of a hassle,
Speaker 7: But otherwise the charm still holds up really well a
Speaker 7: lot of ways. It holds up lot better than a
Speaker 7: lot of the other sixteen big games. The translation is
Speaker 7: really good, and maybe that's just because like having the
Speaker 7: translation be a little bit off, which always happen with
Speaker 7: these games works really well for Earthbound because the whole
Speaker 7: thing is kind of off anyways, But yeah, super having
Speaker 7: fun with that. I'm trying to figure out I want
Speaker 7: to just do Mother three right after this, because I'm
Speaker 7: I'm still a SAP and I'm holding out hope that
Speaker 7: we just actually get Mother three released here someday. I
Speaker 7: don't have a problem with, you know, doing a fan translation,
Speaker 7: but you know, I would prefer to do an official release.
Speaker 5: M h, all right, have a question, Yes, why was
Speaker 5: the Earthbound box big?
Speaker 7: Because it came with a strategy guide because they were convinced, guy,
Speaker 7: we kids.
Speaker 2: Will get lost.
Speaker 7: And you know again, I am like, I do have
Speaker 7: a guide open on my phone a lot of times
Speaker 7: when I'm playing the game, just to make sure I
Speaker 7: know what I'm doing. But yeah, I wonder that too
Speaker 7: as a kids, Like why is this so big? I
Speaker 7: seemed to came like a multi tab or yes, I
Speaker 7: think that's what I assumed.
Speaker 5: I saw like multiple characters in the art and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 5: it must be a multi tap, must be a multiplayer game.
Speaker 5: Oh shot friends, and then very much.
Speaker 2: A single player thing. Yeah, just it just came with
Speaker 2: the guy that's kind of nice. That's smart speaking about
Speaker 2: round things. These are occasionally round. And Dan, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: assume you put this on the duck berries.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys like mester alities like the fruits. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like blue black, straw rasp.
Speaker 2: Like the.
Speaker 1: Right, Like you did not put berries berries things I've
Speaker 1: known about, but I've been comfortable with banana this my
Speaker 1: whole life.
Speaker 2: I've never really thought about berries before. Wait no, this
Speaker 2: is this is the stuff that goes on the top
Speaker 2: of the show.
Speaker 1: I know, but I just wanted to like make sure
Speaker 1: there was a specific shout out for berries, because like
Speaker 1: I got this like multi pack of berries. I got
Speaker 1: one that's just strawberries and one that's blue black and
Speaker 1: rasp and I will just like normally I would just
Speaker 1: go eat a bunch of Starburst or something, and now
Speaker 1: I only have healthy food in the house.
Speaker 6: I'm doing this whole health gimmick.
Speaker 1: And I was just like, eat a couple of raspberries
Speaker 1: and I'm be like, this kicks ass. It has so
Speaker 1: much flavor in like one berry, it's got a fun texture.
Speaker 1: They got like a little weird hairs on him. It
Speaker 1: is like, seriously, I'm like over the moon about berries, right,
Speaker 1: now sayone else.
Speaker 7: Imagining Dan is like a hutter gatherer and like a
Speaker 7: tribe just being so excited about the berries coming.
Speaker 5: I'm actually imagine the exact opposite, like all these other
Speaker 5: people are hunting, hunting and gathering like berries, and he's
Speaker 5: just like, what the fuck's that? And then like finally
Speaker 5: forty years later he tries when he's like, oh, well,
Speaker 5: this is what you guys were doing.
Speaker 2: I was only eating taboo.
Speaker 1: I had so many opportunities because Ben Hanson at his
Speaker 1: old place, he used to have a raspberry bush and
Speaker 1: like berry guy. Well, yeah, whenever we'd be like walking
Speaker 1: into his house, like we'd be coming back from somewhere,
Speaker 1: he would just pick a raspberry off and eat one
Speaker 1: and try one of these, just try one.
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, you just picked it right off of
Speaker 2: the bush. There's no way that's safe. And now that
Speaker 2: I need a bar code on my food. Yeah, So
Speaker 2: now that I know they're safe.
Speaker 1: And I just bought it from Whole Foods from the
Speaker 1: Amazon Corporation, I'm like, oh, ship, this is fucking incredible.
Speaker 5: What what how do the peanuts get the shell? Is
Speaker 5: that what you were?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 6: That was I haven't thought about yeah, I thought about.
Speaker 2: I haven't thought about. That's not weird, Okay, say raspberry raspberry.
Speaker 5: Okay, now, let's I I this is what I always
Speaker 5: get hung up on this one because it's always weird.
Speaker 5: How to spell this one? Dan, you're good at spelling.
Speaker 5: How you spell r A S P B E R
Speaker 5: r y? Yeah, rasping in there, sneaks in there. It's
Speaker 5: like the extra R in February, the Wedness day. Yeah,
Speaker 5: what any yesterday?
Speaker 2: That's okay? Okay, yeah, no, just a big, big berry
Speaker 2: guy now, all right? Cool shouts out to the barrio.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 1: Also, my nutritious dietician lady said the cheese sticks are good,
Speaker 1: and so I just I eat a bunch of cheese
Speaker 1: sticks now and it's healthy.
Speaker 6: I know, I know, I know. Yeah.
Speaker 4: God, well, I'm I'm glad that that berries are lighting
Speaker 4: up your life. But it seems like Mike Manatti's soul
Speaker 4: is still dark, perhaps for the third time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just started Dark Souls three, actually, just last
Speaker 7: night I did. I did Dark Souls one and two
Speaker 7: last year and enjoyed then. Dark Souls two definitely has
Speaker 7: some weirdness to it. That's like one of the best
Speaker 7: things about starting Dark Souls three is just that a
Speaker 7: lot of the Dark Souls two weirdness isn't really there.
Speaker 7: It just immediately feels a little bit better to play.
Speaker 7: It's just snappier. All the move and stuff. It was right,
Speaker 7: the characters aren't like perfectly magnetized onto me when they're
Speaker 7: swinging around. So yeah, I don't have a ton to say,
Speaker 7: just like, this game is still very pretty, by the way,
Speaker 7: because it's just a bit newer than one and two.
Speaker 7: I think it Rigel came out like the Xbox one
Speaker 7: PS four era, so still gorgeous. Lots of ton fun
Speaker 7: lighting stuff. I am doing a dexterity build this time.
Speaker 2: That's exciting.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm off the strength train. I'm dual wielding skit
Speaker 7: scimitars or something. So I'm like, it's a little bit
Speaker 7: of an adjustment because I'm dodging instead of blocking, and
Speaker 7: i don't have range, and I'm attacking multiple times that
Speaker 7: kill people, and I'm attacking very quickly. But yeah, so far,
Speaker 7: just very impressed with Duxels three. I am excited to
Speaker 7: dive much deeper into that.
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, I love a good Decks build. You a
Speaker 2: lot for arrows and stuff. I don't think anything. I mean,
Speaker 2: I think in general you're not don't really want to
Speaker 2: be using bow and arrows and dark souls, except like
Speaker 2: kite people and the cheese stuff.
Speaker 1: So is it like an agility to get choge run
Speaker 1: It's like a speed agility type situation.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, dexterity, yeah, I think it's.
Speaker 5: And stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well if you get terms of the ice, like, yeah,
Speaker 7: so you're gonna use like the more swim weapons, yeah,
Speaker 7: kind of a thing instead of like a giant berserker's sword.
Speaker 2: Cool.
Speaker 4: I assume you need a lot of deckstery to be
Speaker 4: swift because I think birds dual wheeld wings to fly.
Speaker 4: And I haven't developed the rest of this segue.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna go go. I'm just gonna go rogue
Speaker 2: and just toss it to Grub who's been Yes.
Speaker 5: Good job. I do not remember who recommended rogue flight,
Speaker 5: but someone maybe in chat did. It is a star Fox, like,
Speaker 5: it's still a handful of those recently, and I think
Speaker 5: this one is so So there's two paths people take
Speaker 5: when they're making a real star Fox, Like right, They're like,
Speaker 5: let's just make fucking star Fox again. And I respect
Speaker 5: that and I want that, but this one's like, no,
Speaker 5: let's take starfucks and like as if we were going
Speaker 5: to make it today. But it's still clearly starfux. So
Speaker 5: it's you know, on Rails Shooter, you got the cursor.
Speaker 5: I guess, I guess it's kind of like RES. I
Speaker 5: don't know why I don't like Res.
Speaker 2: But I I don't because it's not that good and
Speaker 2: it's overrated.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for all those ravers out there, no rave, No,
Speaker 1: I would rather go to the Gathering of the Juggalos.
Speaker 1: I mean it, of course, Well that would be fun.
Speaker 1: That'll be funny is what they probably like wrestle like more.
Speaker 5: But Rogue Flight is uh, it's got like, hey, eighties
Speaker 5: anime aesthetic and that it's actually pretty good. I think
Speaker 5: there's a bit too much story. I just I ended
Speaker 5: up skipping the cut scenes get right into it. Uh,
Speaker 5: but the action is very intense. They send just waves
Speaker 5: of enemies at you. Does it has a good combo
Speaker 5: system where as long as you are killing enemies, but
Speaker 5: then so much time, you know, it makes the ping noise,
Speaker 5: and the ping increases in frequency like or the you
Speaker 5: know in the in pitch every time you get another
Speaker 5: part of the combo. So it's like ding ding d
Speaker 5: ding like and that of course always feels good. It's
Speaker 5: got It's pretty complex in terms of like what you're
Speaker 5: able to do at any one time. You know, you
Speaker 5: hold a to fire your weapon, you're firing your weapon constantly.
Speaker 5: You of course can paint enemies with the radical to
Speaker 5: by holding down left trigger to lock onto them and
Speaker 5: send missiles at them. Yeah, it's one of those games.
Speaker 5: But also if you do a right stick, if you
Speaker 5: press forward, you'll boost forward. If you right stick right
Speaker 5: or left, you'll do like this tailwhip move that sends
Speaker 5: your thrusters whipping behind you, and like it can like
Speaker 5: destroy anything that gets caught in that path. So it's
Speaker 5: like you're just like whipping an energy beam at this
Speaker 5: group of enemies and they all just blow up and
Speaker 5: it goes in slow motion and it looks really cool
Speaker 5: and it feels very cool. There's power ups as long
Speaker 5: as you don't die, you keep your power up from
Speaker 5: level to level. So now I've got you know, a
Speaker 5: bunch of things around me firing laser blasts, and I
Speaker 5: have a spread beam. Now it's solid. It is definitely
Speaker 5: just another one of these, but I think it's my
Speaker 5: favorite of the games that are trying to be like
Speaker 5: Star Fox.
Speaker 1: I mean in terms of another one of these, like
Speaker 1: this is the genre, I would like more ones of those.
Speaker 1: I feel like that it's like that Tony Hawks and
Speaker 1: Twisted Metals, like I want more of those. That's not
Speaker 1: even genre because they made like a handful of series
Speaker 1: that were good and they stopped making.
Speaker 6: Them, and I want more of them.
Speaker 5: Yep. And I think that this is this is showing
Speaker 5: me that this there's more to tap into here. I
Speaker 5: I think I'm still on my first run. I'm assuming
Speaker 5: that because it's called Rogue Flight through some like rogue
Speaker 5: like elements to it.
Speaker 2: But I have Steam. It has the roguelike tex Okay.
Speaker 5: So I'm like, I could see how that could be
Speaker 5: pretty cool, is what I'm like. Wh Star fucks as
Speaker 5: a rogue Light. That's just what they should do, I
Speaker 5: guess with Star Fox two technically kind of a rogue
Speaker 5: Light in some ways.
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 6: I love that we can just talk about Star Fox
Speaker 6: too like it's a real game now, because it kind
Speaker 6: of is.
Speaker 2: Of thedt in a while.
Speaker 6: Honestly, that was like shocking when they said that, Yeah.
Speaker 2: That's cool, but I recommend it. It almost messes me up.
Speaker 7: Like this game came out of October and it looks great.
Speaker 7: It has like you know, very positive steam reviews. It's like,
Speaker 7: I never heard anybody talk about this scary the first
Speaker 7: Heart make games what one more thing because I look
Speaker 7: at this and I see, like, like again that eighties
Speaker 7: anime psaker talking about, like, oh, I love the way
Speaker 7: that looks. I liked it a fantasy Star And is
Speaker 7: this me being a nostalgic asshole really liking that more
Speaker 7: than a modern anime? Look almost like I was watching
Speaker 7: a lot of anime when I was a kid. I
Speaker 7: guess I was definitely around it. Is it just maybe
Speaker 7: aesthetically more interesting.
Speaker 2: In some way? Or am I a jer preferences right?
Speaker 5: I think it's a little bit of a column A,
Speaker 5: a little bit of column B. I think it is
Speaker 5: nostalgic jerk in the fact that, yeah, it feels cool
Speaker 5: to see that. Then you saw maybe like in a
Speaker 5: magazine as a kid, and it was maybe a little
Speaker 5: bit elusive. But I also think in some ways that
Speaker 5: and you know, this is me being outsider, but this
Speaker 5: is like when I look at anime, it does feel
Speaker 5: like it's homogenized in a lot of ways, a lot
Speaker 5: of similar influences affecting all of the anime aesthetics out there. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and so that's why I look at many of them
Speaker 5: like this kind of looks like a lot of the
Speaker 5: other stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 4: The same thing with film, right, there's like a whole
Speaker 4: like decades of film that look exactly a doubt, nothing
Speaker 4: is discernible, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2: I like things that look like that one Daft punk
Speaker 2: music video.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like this looks like you uh, speaking of that,
Speaker 1: you mentioned when I was talking about Castlevania, something about
Speaker 1: how like there was a ship to more anime style
Speaker 1: that like people didn't like, Like I don't remember, like
Speaker 1: what were you referring to.
Speaker 7: The portraits, like the character portraits and stuff, and starting
Speaker 7: in Dawn of Sorrow, Yeah, there's like that bland just
Speaker 7: kind of like very flat anime style, whereas before that
Speaker 7: in Symphony, in the the Gameboy Advanced Wines, there's that
Speaker 7: very style. I forget the artist's name, but it's the
Speaker 7: box artists that Box looked at those games.
Speaker 6: Did the GBA ones have that too?
Speaker 7: The GBA once had it, and then Dawn of Sorrow
Speaker 7: and Portu Room like shipp at Heart to this really
Speaker 7: like very flat bland. Okay, it's weird because they look
Speaker 7: like Fox Block like Fox Kids characters, but they're still
Speaker 7: like naked demon ladies and like cutting them in.
Speaker 2: Half and stuff.
Speaker 7: Okay I could, and then they course stressed a bit
Speaker 7: an order of Ecclesia. Yeah here, I'm gonna yeah, I'm
Speaker 7: gonna find you like uh the box art for Ari
Speaker 7: You Sorrow and the Donna Saurrow.
Speaker 5: You'll see to find the find the right one for
Speaker 5: Donna Sorrow.
Speaker 6: The box on the box. Yes, I love that one.
Speaker 5: I want to get that. I want to get that
Speaker 5: copy of that game.
Speaker 2: Act actually do that too. That's so, folks.
Speaker 4: I think it's time to take a quick bricky break
Speaker 4: and we'll be back with some video game news.
Speaker 2: I think I might go check out Disco Elysium for
Speaker 2: the first time.
Speaker 5: I was playing that a few months back and really
Speaker 5: got back into it. I should finish that game because
Speaker 5: I think it's really good.
Speaker 2: Grub. You know what we actually have to do is
Speaker 2: you and I have to play Balder's Gate three together.
Speaker 5: Why do we have to do that?
Speaker 4: You and I have to complete the story together, so
Speaker 4: Mike Minatti will get a tattoo of your choosing.
Speaker 2: Yes, this is correct. Now, Mike's copetent.
Speaker 5: We won't do this, and for a good reason, but
Speaker 5: I think we could do it.
Speaker 2: Just do whatever you get due to fill the just
Speaker 2: kind of see credits. Right, Yeah, no, I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: accept cheating. Okay, but what if it's like, yeah, glitch
Speaker 2: like glitchless? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, look, do you want to see it? Do you
Speaker 5: want to sign a an unbiased third party to decide
Speaker 5: what we're.
Speaker 2: Doing is absolute? Maybe? Maybe?
Speaker 4: Okay, Well we'll ask who's who's playing as am I
Speaker 4: played a lot of Ballerskate three, I don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 7: I have Yeah, but I have a brother who has.
Speaker 7: They would love to see me get a tattoo.
Speaker 2: He'd be somewhat partial and partial.
Speaker 5: Three?
Speaker 2: Okay, can we with the tattoo?
Speaker 1: You know how like with Blake Club, you know that
Speaker 1: you don't know the game typically unless uh, like you're
Speaker 1: on the air starting it. Can it be a thing
Speaker 1: where can we shoot a thing where we go into
Speaker 1: the tattoo parlor and Mike doesn't know what the tattoo
Speaker 1: is going to be?
Speaker 2: No, I am definitely gonna vet it.
Speaker 5: I kind of I'm still partial to the one that
Speaker 5: we all enjoyed. I don't know if you guys remember it.
Speaker 6: I don't remember it.
Speaker 5: It is uh, upside down upside down pineapple with the
Speaker 5: Mickey Mouse ears.
Speaker 2: So I'm going to be clear.
Speaker 7: Look, look, if it's something ridiculous, I just will do it.
Speaker 7: You'll call me a liar, and I'm not good at
Speaker 7: my word. But whatever, I thought you liked that one.
Speaker 7: Now I'm like, I thought that was right right on
Speaker 7: the line of no, that's a bit much. It's a
Speaker 7: bit much, Okay, you can keep it hit.
Speaker 2: That pineapple is a signed to swingers that you're ready
Speaker 2: to swing.
Speaker 5: Yes, that you're there just gearing aud At the grocery store.
Speaker 2: They'll yeah, what swinger.
Speaker 4: Swinger couples will put a pineapple upside down in there
Speaker 4: and their shopping carts to signify to other people they're.
Speaker 2: Down at the grocery store.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 4: On cruises, they'll their doorkay, huh, you'll get a picture
Speaker 4: of it.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it'll do. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Sometimes you get a tattoo of one with Mickey Mouse.
Speaker 6: That is very funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's funny. For like three reasons like
Speaker 1: the fruit thing, the Mickey thing. Yeah, okay, that's good.
Speaker 5: Kind of across the board there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, alright, I need to go take a take a
Speaker 4: brick break, and we'll be back with some video game news.
Speaker 2: Just gonna sit outside and think for a bit. See
Speaker 2: after that, Jeff Grub News. I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 5: What if it what if it was the spaceship Earth
Speaker 5: sphere with Mickey Mouse here, That sounds like a tattoo
Speaker 5: you would agree to?
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 7: The problem is like, that's so close to just the
Speaker 7: tattoo I've always wanted to Actually don't that's space symbol.
Speaker 7: That's yeah, you always just call it off now off
Speaker 7: now birth is the Spikey ball, right, that's right, Okay,
Speaker 7: we had the golf ball.
Speaker 6: I don't do something normal that he would.
Speaker 7: Like if it's up, I'm not gonna let him tattoo
Speaker 7: something ridiculous on spaceship Earth balls and then like a
Speaker 7: long tunnel like.
Speaker 2: Space. Yeah, oh yeah, that's great, that's a pen.
Speaker 5: Anyway, News PlayStation showed up the CS and said TV
Speaker 5: TV TV they had a bunch of movies and television
Speaker 5: shows to talk about. I guess ghosts of Sushima Legends
Speaker 5: anime series is coming to Country Role in twenty twenty seven,
Speaker 5: which is in a real year. Hell Divers feature film
Speaker 5: is in development at Sony Pictures until Dawn Live action
Speaker 5: film releases on April twenty fifth, set in the same
Speaker 5: universe as the game, as I guess I would assume. Yeah,
Speaker 5: new Lego Horizon Adventures music video has been teased. Horizon
Speaker 5: Zero Yeah, I don't know, guys. Horizons zero don live
Speaker 5: action film is in development. Retells Aloy's origin story.
Speaker 7: That's interesting because they were making a show that was
Speaker 7: gonna make a whole prequel show and they canceled that
Speaker 7: and like, let's just make a movie based off the game.
Speaker 2: That'll be a lot easier.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Everything always heard about that show is they had
Speaker 5: a lot of problems back, you know, one way or
Speaker 5: the other.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 5: The Last of Us location based immersive experience is is
Speaker 5: improve proof of concept phase. I guess it's like one
Speaker 5: of those like VR things.
Speaker 2: Or like a escape room, like remember the Void at the.
Speaker 5: They still have the voids around places, right.
Speaker 2: They don't want that? Why would anyone want that?
Speaker 7: You don't want to go into the world of the
Speaker 7: Last of Us where you're you're you're living a dirty
Speaker 7: camp and zombies kill your friends, and then the other
Speaker 7: humans also kill your friends, and then you get sad
Speaker 7: about it.
Speaker 2: Already.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 5: The Last of A Season two is releasing in April
Speaker 5: on Max, and they released a new teaser trailer. Uh yeah,
Speaker 5: lots of I mean we've known for a while that
Speaker 5: Sony's been like, hey, we have a movie division, and
Speaker 5: we have a game division that's doing very good. We
Speaker 5: should make movies based on those games. It doesn't seem
Speaker 5: like they're abandon in that anytime soon soon. It sounds
Speaker 5: like they're doubling down.
Speaker 6: Yeah, breaking news. I did just buy the stupid box
Speaker 6: John of Sorrow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, smart, smart, It really was gosh.
Speaker 7: Now you need to get that Batman Arkham City Game
Speaker 7: of the Year addition to go next to it.
Speaker 2: What was that one that was the one like this
Speaker 2: just plastered in like box. Is that the Armored edition thing? No,
Speaker 2: that's the wee year It's just the Game of the
Speaker 2: Year edition for us DAN your.
Speaker 5: Armored Division, a Game of the Year Division or Batman.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 5: In Vidio announced the next gen RTX fifty ninety and
Speaker 5: fifty eighty GPUs A and d also announced their new GPUs,
Speaker 5: but there's just more details on the Nvidia ones. The
Speaker 5: fifty ninety is going to be two thousand dollars, the
Speaker 5: fifty eighty is going to be one thousand dollars. The
Speaker 5: fifty ninety is going to be twice as powerful as
Speaker 5: the forty ninety. Yeah, they're gonna have DLSS four ready
Speaker 5: to go for The includes multi frame generation, which generates
Speaker 5: up to three additional frames per traditional frame.
Speaker 6: So Prub, you're my guy for this stuff. Since you
Speaker 6: know this stuff, Well, do I need to get this?
Speaker 5: So you don't. You definitely don't need to get this.
Speaker 5: You're you have a forty ninety in your system, and
Speaker 5: games have already mostly not taken advantage of the forty ninety,
Speaker 5: so you don't need it. When do I need it?
Speaker 5: I mean if I were in your shoes, which I
Speaker 5: guess I am exactly because I have the same exact
Speaker 5: computer that you job and job I listen, if and
Speaker 5: Video wants to send us one, I'm gonna take it.
Speaker 2: If that's a.
Speaker 6: Good I will also adopt that stance, yead.
Speaker 5: If I have to buy one, I'm gonna be waiting
Speaker 5: until the sixth series.
Speaker 7: The sixty series, So I'm I have a thirty seventy T, right,
Speaker 7: TI I have. I've been actually paying attention to this.
Speaker 7: Normally video cards is all over my head, but I've
Speaker 7: been following this announcement. I went to upgrade this year,
Speaker 7: and I'm pretty happy with that fifty eighty price one thousand.
Speaker 7: That seems reasonable. Actually, I think I was there myself
Speaker 7: for a lot worse. Yeah, I feel pretty good. I
Speaker 7: didn't buy a Plastation five pro is how I feel.
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, there's also like as Sean and Chass
Speaker 5: pointing out, but they announced the fifty seventy TI, the
Speaker 5: fifty seventy. The fifty seventy is apparently going to have
Speaker 5: about forty ninety performance at five hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 5: It will also have DLSS four. So you know, if
Speaker 5: you have a super high refresh rate monitor that does
Speaker 5: four K and you want to get one hundred and
Speaker 5: twenty two hundred frames per second in four K, maybe
Speaker 5: the fifty ninety makes sense at that point. But if
Speaker 5: you're only playing at one hundred and twenty frames per second,
Speaker 5: and now I say only because that's you know, like
Speaker 5: that's crazy, but only one hundred and twenty frames per second.
Speaker 5: You're probably fine still with the forty nine.
Speaker 6: It's funny. I'm a frame rates now, Mike. I know
Speaker 6: you are too.
Speaker 1: In like thirty to sixty, I can tell immediately. I
Speaker 1: just want to barf at thirty sixty to one. It's like,
Speaker 1: I think I can notice, but it's not anywhere.
Speaker 5: Near the diminishing returns on that is massive. And I'm
Speaker 5: even realizing, like thirty to forty five is actually where
Speaker 5: I'm at. If I play it forty five on the
Speaker 5: Steam Deck, it's a little bit harder for me to
Speaker 5: tell the difference between forty five and sixty a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 5: not impossible, but yeah.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 5: Lenovo reveals new Legion Go handheld. Lenovo is launching the
Speaker 5: Legion Go S, a handheld gaming PC that will be
Speaker 5: the first outside of Valve to ship with the Steam
Speaker 5: Os platform. The Legion Go S is a new and
Speaker 5: improved version of Lenovo's eight inch handheld with a one
Speaker 5: and twenty hertz variable refresh rate screen and a new
Speaker 5: AMD rizing Z two go chip. Lenovo will also ship
Speaker 5: a Windows version of Legion Go S. That version will
Speaker 5: be seven hundred and thirty dollars. The Steam OS version
Speaker 5: will be five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 5: The steam US version has less RAM and less less storage,
Speaker 5: about half the storage, but it probably will have very
Speaker 5: similar performance even with the less RAM because the RAM
Speaker 5: is needed for running Windows in the background and stuff
Speaker 5: like that. So that's why the Windows version is a
Speaker 5: little bit more pricey and beefy. Lenovo's also going to
Speaker 5: have the Legion GO to later this year, So the
Speaker 5: Go S is happening now and that'll have this improved chip,
Speaker 5: and then the Go too will have an even more
Speaker 5: improved version of that chip. This Z two extreme and
Speaker 5: they haven't set a price or anything like that. But yeah,
Speaker 5: I had I try to have the Lenovo Legion Go.
Speaker 5: It's big and beefy and weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah you brought that to was it the Game Awards
Speaker 2: last last year?
Speaker 5: Yeah? That must have been it, right, Yeah, that sounds right,
Speaker 5: because I was I think I was trying to like
Speaker 5: finish up. No, maybe it was Summer game Fest.
Speaker 2: Summer game Fest. Yeah, yeahah, that thing is gigantic.
Speaker 5: It's gigantic. Yeah, But I mean, I guess I'm glad
Speaker 5: that other companies are starting to launch with Stemos that'll
Speaker 5: keep that as a a reason for Windows to improve
Speaker 5: its experience on handheld, because steam Os maybe could eat
Speaker 5: into that market share a little bit on this side
Speaker 5: of things and force some competition there. Yeah, let's see. Also,
Speaker 5: Acer announced the Big eleven inch eleven inch handheld. That
Speaker 5: is massive.
Speaker 2: It's got likes too big.
Speaker 5: It is absurd, Yes, and you should look up pictures
Speaker 5: of people holding it if you haven't. But it's like
Speaker 5: they're holding I don't know, a slate from the scent
Speaker 5: down from God. It's crazy.
Speaker 2: It's a Steely It's a steeally Steely.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it steely and from Giza. Yeah. Delta Rune chapter
Speaker 5: three and four will launch this year, according to Toby Fox.
Speaker 5: Toby Fox took the Blue Sky Blue Ski and reconfirmed
Speaker 5: that both those episodes will launch this year.
Speaker 2: Mike, have you have you played any of the Delta
Speaker 2: Roun chapters. Yeah?
Speaker 7: I played Delta Rooe chapter one. It was really good,
Speaker 7: and I think, I you know, I know, chapter two
Speaker 7: came out. I think I was a little bit like,
Speaker 7: I think I want to wait till maybe the whole
Speaker 7: thing is out now, and then maybe even replay chapter
Speaker 7: one and just play through it as a full game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad that that that is happening. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: check it out once it's all there.
Speaker 5: Yep, is chapter four the final chapter?
Speaker 2: Or I think so? I think I think that's right,
Speaker 2: but maybe I'm not sure. Chap can maybe help me there.
Speaker 5: Uh US has blacklisted ten Cent over alleged ties with
Speaker 5: the Chinese military. Tencent, a major player in the video
Speaker 5: game industry, is facing problems due to alleged ties with
Speaker 5: the Chinese military. The US Defense Department has blacklisted the company,
Speaker 5: which could result in it being delisted from the US
Speaker 5: Stock Exchange in other markets. This news has already impacted
Speaker 5: ten Cents shares and could have significant financial consequences for
Speaker 5: the company and its subsidiaries, which includes Riot Games Tenseit
Speaker 5: also faced scrutiny over its board members serving on rival
Speaker 5: companies boards and its ownership stakes and other game developers
Speaker 5: like From Software and Ubisoft. Yeah, go ahead, I.
Speaker 7: Just will say real quick, apparently there's gonna be seven
Speaker 7: chapters of Delta Rous. Oh yeah, yeah, okay, we got
Speaker 7: to waste we got a ways to go there. Well,
Speaker 7: this is interesting thing because like what could be the
Speaker 7: repercussions of this. There's Tenset has you know, investments and
Speaker 7: whatnot in so many games.
Speaker 5: Now, yeah, it's uh, I mean, it could be a
Speaker 5: situation where it's similar to like you know, byte dance
Speaker 5: in TikTok, or they might be forced to sell or
Speaker 5: something like that. Probably not going to get that far
Speaker 5: or ten cents like this is this is clearly a mistake.
Speaker 5: Let's get this figured out. It's probably not a mistake.
Speaker 5: But I don't know how rigid the United States government
Speaker 5: wants to be about this. But it's possible that this
Speaker 5: could have ramifications of a lot of money that a
Speaker 5: lot of developers are relying on comes from ten Cent
Speaker 5: that could dry up, go away, or at least like
Speaker 5: cool off, and that could be a problem for a
Speaker 5: lot of people making games. But yeah, this is going
Speaker 5: to be it's only going to get more complicated with
Speaker 5: the new administration that is going to want to increase
Speaker 5: the rivalry with China and there's going to be a
Speaker 5: trade war and that trade or could manifest as things
Speaker 5: like this where companies countries do things to cause problems
Speaker 5: for major corporations based in each of these countries. So yeah,
Speaker 5: this is probably only going to get more complicated in
Speaker 5: the next year or two, court docks revealed Call of
Speaker 5: Duty games cost up to seven one hundred million dollars
Speaker 5: to make. The development costs for Call of Duty titles
Speaker 5: Black Ops three, Modern Warfare twenty nineteen and Black Ops
Speaker 5: Cold War were revealed to be between four hundred and
Speaker 5: fifty million and seven hundred million dollars. These figures were
Speaker 5: revealed into court filing that include post launch support and content.
Speaker 5: In comparison, the last of US Part two cost around
Speaker 5: two hundred and twenty million dollars to developed. I think
Speaker 5: Spider Man to that one was three hundred million, right,
Speaker 5: I think that's what that was aid. I mean, I
Speaker 5: get it makes sense. You can do things fast, you
Speaker 5: can do them inexpensively, or you could do them good,
Speaker 5: and you could choose two of those. And they always
Speaker 5: put out a Call of Duty every year and they're
Speaker 5: pretty decent. So the only way they could do that
Speaker 5: is spend a lot of money. But I guess I
Speaker 5: didn't think it would be seven hundred million year, so.
Speaker 2: Loney, So much of that is the post release support
Speaker 2: that's being accounted in this too. All the new content,
Speaker 2: all just people monitoring things and fixing things, keeping the
Speaker 2: servers going. But woof, I'm excited that.
Speaker 7: You know, within ten years we were going to get
Speaker 7: to that billion dollar Call of Duty game.
Speaker 2: Can see what that looks like.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's probably not too far off because I mean
Speaker 5: this is a black Ops Cold War which was was
Speaker 5: that twenty twenty?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's right. Yeah, so we worked a
Speaker 2: couple past that because.
Speaker 5: And then there's been a lot of inflation since then.
Speaker 5: So oh boy, we might be at the billion dollar
Speaker 5: Call of Duty game right now. Hell yeah, but we'll
Speaker 5: find out. Ex and A Purna video game staff to
Speaker 5: absorb former Take two indie label Private Division. This is
Speaker 5: I think this got reported this morning, so it's kind
Speaker 5: of catching up on this as we were getting ready
Speaker 5: to start. I'll try to do my best here and
Speaker 5: former and A Purna Interactive staffers who resigned last summer
Speaker 5: will take over the portfolio of Private Division, a label
Speaker 5: formerly owned by Take two Interactive Software Inc. Private Division
Speaker 5: was sold in November to Heveli Investments, a private equity
Speaker 5: firm based in Austin. Velli struck a deal with x
Speaker 5: Anna Purna staffers to fund their new company and place
Speaker 5: them in charge of distributing the former Private Division titles,
Speaker 5: including Tales of the Shire and Kerbal Space program series.
Speaker 5: Some of the twenty employees inherited by Heveli when it
Speaker 5: purchased Private Division will be laid off as part of
Speaker 5: the new arrangement. That's kind of crappy, but yeah, this
Speaker 5: is a weird one because these people were working at
Speaker 5: a different Private Division or different indies publishing label over
Speaker 5: at Annapurna. That stuff kind of fell apart. They all
Speaker 5: left together and it was like are they going to
Speaker 5: start their own thing? It's like kind of they're going
Speaker 5: to take over Private Division. So just this weird way
Speaker 5: of like keeping Private Division going.
Speaker 2: It's like a weird shuffling around of all these people
Speaker 2: in entities, right, yes.
Speaker 5: Just overall. Yeah, a bizarre moves snacked Edge. It says
Speaker 5: in chap let's see Bilotro mod Jimbo, those big naturals.
Speaker 5: It's a lot funnier and safer for work than it
Speaker 5: sounds that this is someone that just said this to me.
Speaker 5: You ever see those big naturals mods for like games
Speaker 5: like Skyrim. Someone did one of those for Bolatro. But
Speaker 5: it's just more of a joke where.
Speaker 2: You ever see the Big Natural's mod for Skyrim. I
Speaker 2: can't say that.
Speaker 5: If you ever like search mods for Skyrim on YouTube,
Speaker 5: it's unavoidable. Everyone's like, this is, of course what you want.
Speaker 5: So it's like a kind of a meme in the
Speaker 5: Monding community. So someone made a mod for Bilatro that
Speaker 5: gives all the jokers big naturals, all of them.
Speaker 2: What about like, like, what does that look like.
Speaker 5: Most of them? Okay, I'm sor one hundred and twenty
Speaker 5: two of the one hundred and fifty cards in the
Speaker 5: game now have honkers.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, yeah, it's mostly just.
Speaker 5: Like they drew chalk on there or whatever. It made
Speaker 5: it like, made it look like, Yes, it's very funny.
Speaker 5: It says right here, no nipples are visible. Dan to
Speaker 5: pay ten dollars extra. It's the nipple DLC from the
Speaker 5: Saboteur do the same thing on you?
Speaker 2: Okay? At it?
Speaker 5: Yeah? And then I was gonna say fantastic fourig Marvel Rivals,
Speaker 5: but we already talked about that.
Speaker 4: Oh but yo, during the break, I watched the Invisible
Speaker 4: Woman character.
Speaker 2: This is trailer fantastic, Yes, the Invisible Woman. Is it
Speaker 2: just the Invisible Woman? Is that her name?
Speaker 5: I think it's both because she's married to mister fantastic right, so.
Speaker 2: Oh so it's like this is incredible. Is also Alasta girl? Yes?
Speaker 5: Yes, now we explained in distance, so he understands. Great.
Speaker 2: God, she looks so good. She can use force fields
Speaker 2: and like her old is amazing.
Speaker 4: What a great game for healers. What a great game
Speaker 4: for healers.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Maybe that's why this game works so well is
Speaker 5: because it's so fun to play a healer. So yeah,
Speaker 5: that helps. All right, that's all the news I have.
Speaker 5: Although you know, we were all for a while, a
Speaker 5: bunch of stuff happened. I guess most people were on vacation.
Speaker 5: But they're like, you know, ce yes started there a
Speaker 5: bunch of stuff. We'll catch up.
Speaker 2: What's going on? The switch to the joy cron having
Speaker 2: a mouse sensor.
Speaker 5: Yeah, stuff like that. So yeah, so there's been endless
Speaker 5: swim two leaks.
Speaker 1: I thought, I thought I heard mouth, and then my
Speaker 1: brain said he must mean mouse like a computer mouse.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's what that that that that is what I heard.
Speaker 5: But I was expecting him to say that, so maybe
Speaker 5: I wait, so is it mouth or mouse?
Speaker 2: Mouse? Mouse mouth?
Speaker 5: So there's been a there's been a. Well, I mean
Speaker 5: that the switch one has a mouth sensor. Uh, because
Speaker 5: that thing on the bottom of the of the one
Speaker 5: joy Con is a little I R swick. Yeah, so
Speaker 5: I already have mouth sensing technology. Yeah, the switch two
Speaker 5: leaks have gone crazy. Basically, we know just about everything
Speaker 5: about the hardware, including the fact that the left Joycon
Speaker 5: is going to have a h here. I have the
Speaker 5: right joyc on here, but whatever, No, here's one left
Speaker 5: joy Con is going to have a sensor here, an
Speaker 5: optical sensor that looks like it could be for tracking
Speaker 5: mouse movements. And the reason people think that is because
Speaker 5: there is a like pad here and here at the
Speaker 5: top and bottom of the inner rail of the joy Con,
Speaker 5: so it'll be easier to move it around on a surf.
Speaker 5: And then you would use the left of the Z
Speaker 5: L and L buttons as like left and right click.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 5: So the assumption is the thing's going to have mouse
Speaker 5: support right out of the box. And that makes me
Speaker 5: want Mario paint real bad.
Speaker 6: The first thing I thought it was Mario yep, almost.
Speaker 5: Like there should just be Mario paint included in the box.
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh they can add that, weird Mario and Mario
Speaker 7: sn s game that we never got to n.
Speaker 2: S O now yeah, yeah, there you go. Yep, that
Speaker 2: was the only fan right, I'm dreaming big, I like add.
Speaker 5: Sixty four d D do the expansion pass and give
Speaker 5: us all the.
Speaker 2: Mario Artists series or whatever.
Speaker 1: Ye.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, there's like four four games or something like that.
Speaker 2: What if it's just a barcode scanner?
Speaker 5: Yeah, reader, Holy shit, that does it for the news,

Speaker 4: mouse that is comfortable to use. I want a thucky keyboard,
Speaker 4: thanks Nikky.
Speaker 1: I think I have a thought keyboard. It's a key
Speaker 1: cum Backlar recommended it, so it's a a keyboard nerd thing,
Speaker 1: but it's good. It's aron something ether Yep.
Speaker 5: You know. I want to get one of those IBM
Speaker 5: in keyboard like uh Re manufacturers that they have though,
Speaker 5: the ones that were super clicky that you probably used
Speaker 5: in school, right, I love those, So I wanna wanna
Speaker 5: get one of those for your thacky keyboard. And I
Speaker 5: don't know, just get a go get a Logitech mouse.
Speaker 5: Still last you a long time?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have Logitech mice. I have just the G
Speaker 2: five O two whatever. I love this thing.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a great mouse. I like it so much
Speaker 7: that this is my second one because like, at one
Speaker 7: point I just clicked it too many times, so it
Speaker 7: wore down. I had a like I was on Razor
Speaker 7: stuff and I never liked it. Like all my my
Speaker 7: Razor keyboard and mouse it breaks. They always wore down
Speaker 7: real fast. The logistic tech stuff here has worked much better.
Speaker 7: You have a Logitech keyboard also, it's great.
Speaker 5: Yeah. So do you guys like have a favorite thing
Speaker 5: on your desk because I got like a handful of
Speaker 5: thing so like I would never swap these things out.
Speaker 5: My my mouse is the is the Logitech G seven
Speaker 5: oh three light speed, which means it has the wireless
Speaker 5: charging so I never ever ever ever have to think
Speaker 5: about the wire or charging it or batteries and it
Speaker 5: just works forever. The pad itself sends out a little
Speaker 5: electrical radio frequency that spends a little thing in here
Speaker 5: that gives it enough of a charge to like always
Speaker 5: be charging the battery that is in there. But it's
Speaker 5: been here for years, I've never plugged in. Is wireless
Speaker 5: okay for a mouse?
Speaker 2: Like, yes, let's just do wired. Worry about latency.
Speaker 5: In about about five years ago, the wireless connection for
Speaker 5: mice and keyboards got good enough for gaming. And the
Speaker 5: thing about this is the light pad, the light speed
Speaker 5: pad that actually charges this the radio is right in
Speaker 5: the pad, so it's traveling, you know, six inches, so
Speaker 5: I've never had any issue with it. I also really
Speaker 5: like my sound blaster Katana. I think it's called the
Speaker 5: speaker bar. The thing sounds so so good. It's the
Speaker 5: V two, the second version of that. I would never
Speaker 5: use another speaker. It's so convenient, easy and low profile.
Speaker 2: I haven't actually had like a speaker connected to my
Speaker 2: computer in a long time.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 7: I'm like, oh, just even though I live alone, so like,
Speaker 7: just use headphones. Just use headphones all the time. That's fine,
Speaker 7: that's fine, a comfort, big and comfy. The guy that's
Speaker 7: padding here, I default.
Speaker 5: To the to the headphones constantly, but I'm like, uh,
Speaker 5: I always like him. Oh yeah, I'm turning on the
Speaker 5: speaker and it just sounds awesome.
Speaker 2: I just like these gel pads for my keyboard and
Speaker 2: mouse or go stuff.
Speaker 6: I haven't in sixty four analyg stick.
Speaker 2: I like that sure, pretty cool, look at that.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 5: I like my epid alter as well.
Speaker 2: I like my Jurassic Park Raptor claw can opener. Oh
Speaker 2: that sounds that's fun. Yeah, Like I pretend to like
Speaker 2: scare a portly little kid with it. Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2: Uh all right, Next email comes from Brandy and my
Speaker 2: ten whistle.

Speaker 5: I'm pretty mad.
Speaker 6: Good point.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not mad thought K lowercase N.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: We got to be brave about it.
Speaker 5: We got to keep the I'm a coward. I am
Speaker 5: definitely a coward when it comes to this.
Speaker 2: All right, whatever podcasts or wherever else, we're now calling
Speaker 2: kode tour no tour.
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, let's all right, Well, commit to the gimmick.
Speaker 2: IF's the case. If the K silent, shod' just be
Speaker 2: it's just that they'll be spelled kode tour. But it
Speaker 2: should be pronounced oh tour no because night Well, the
Speaker 2: K doesn't have.
Speaker 5: The K like the K is implant because like all
Speaker 5: these are representing the words, So we're saying that it's
Speaker 5: representing the Knights.
Speaker 7: I think no tour is better. Yeah, I gotta be honest.
Speaker 7: I like saying code tors so much. I'm not willing
Speaker 7: to give it up.
Speaker 2: It's like it's by far the best we had a
Speaker 2: team players acronym and gaming rights.
Speaker 6: The podcast really taken away.
Speaker 2: This all to infinity until we just start calling it
Speaker 2: poopy Shoop. That's the name.
Speaker 5: From now on. That's a good guy.
Speaker 2: That's where this is going.
Speaker 4: I know, I don't think I always yes, and I
Speaker 4: think I just enable Alex and Bendigo Australia Rights. In
Speaker 4: I was thinking about ving Rate, how Ving Raims should
Speaker 4: have been Eric Gordon Lord. So I thought I'd ask.
Speaker 2: You who else he should have been to.
Speaker 5: He should have been Jack from the movie Jack.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Francis Ford Coppola is Jack. He should have
Speaker 1: been in Face Off.
Speaker 2: You should be.

Speaker 5: He should have been one of the little women in
Speaker 5: Little Women.

Speaker 5: Are you in a live action Moana?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yes, oh you're sitting the set photos. It's weird.
Speaker 2: It's weird ving range should in an Arby's commercial.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, well that's good news for you. Uh yeah.
Speaker 5: My step saw the Rock on the TV last night
Speaker 5: because I had Netflix on, uh, and she's like, oh,
Speaker 5: why why is he still slumming it with wrestling? Like
Speaker 5: he's got to go like back to ground all the
Speaker 5: time because he always messes up in Hollywood, so he's
Speaker 5: always got to retreat to wrestling to go there.
Speaker 6: And just totally undo like a year's worth of storylines.
Speaker 7: Yes, right, basically went there to be like, to be clear,
Speaker 7: I'm not fighting any of these people.
Speaker 6: And then chuck a bunch of tequila and immediately drive

Speaker 5: it for next time.
Speaker 7: Some people want to add a bunch of more states.
Speaker 7: I've been hearing, but that's what we don't talk about,
Speaker 7: that old count.
Speaker 4: Hey bomb friends, what's the silliest way to heal your
Speaker 4: character in the video game? Food and sleep always give
Speaker 4: me a chuckle, But for me, it's hiding behind cover
Speaker 4: for ten seconds to recover from gunfund It's funny I
Speaker 4: hope you all had a RESTful break after Game of
Speaker 4: the Year Shenanigans who absolutely deserve it, cheers Jordan from Lancing, Michigan.
Speaker 1: I do like that. There was like a decade after
Speaker 1: like Call of Duty started doing it that every game
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, that's.
Speaker 6: How you healed?
Speaker 2: Is you just wait a few seconds? Yeah.
Speaker 7: I think the first thing I saw was it was
Speaker 7: the shields only in Halo, and then everyone's like.
Speaker 2: That's great, let's just have that. Yeah, yeah, oops, all shields.
Speaker 7: I like it what you about Echoes of Wisdom, but
Speaker 7: the whole like taking like laying on a bed in
Speaker 7: the middle of boss fights cover a little bit that
Speaker 7: was pretty good.
Speaker 1: I really liked. And is it just in Village? I
Speaker 1: think maybe Biohazard Year seven did this too. Or you're
Speaker 1: just getting hacked up by chainsaws and stuff. You just
Speaker 1: pour some liquid on your hand in your fine.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the liquids on the hand of Resident Evil is

Speaker 5: realistic and like Indiana Jones, like here's just just put
Speaker 5: tape on everything, put some medical tape on it. You'll
Speaker 5: be fine.
Speaker 2: Even that's a bit silly.
Speaker 4: I do enjoy like the quick injection from in some games,
Speaker 4: just because I would never do that in real life,
Speaker 4: even if I felt bad. Minus pen maybe yeah, I
Speaker 4: do like.
Speaker 2: Like sound Hill too, right, like you just pick up
Speaker 2: these syringes and you're just like, well, here we go.

Speaker 1: just like you'll have an inventory full of a billion
Speaker 1: things that like like fuck Castlevania.
Speaker 6: I've been playing these DS ones and I'll go in,
Speaker 6: like during a boss.
Speaker 2: Fight, I'll go in.

Speaker 1: a thousand year old egg and like, well there's like
Speaker 1: weirdly like full meals in Casavania, a lot of pasta
Speaker 1: dishes and turkeys and yeah, like ten thousand calories worth
Speaker 1: of food.

Speaker 1: trash cans and just.
Speaker 2: Sure you know, yes, I said breath with a wad.
Speaker 2: I don't mean to do a tangent here, but did
Speaker 2: you see what the Rolling Stone top fifty? I agree
Speaker 2: with number one. Yeah, number one's fine breath.
Speaker 7: While a lot of this was fine and I was
Speaker 7: gonna generally be okay with until somebody pointed out to
Speaker 7: me there's not a single three D Mario game on
Speaker 7: Oh that's insane.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that tops like number five of all time.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, that's so predictable though, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course I don't really agree with that.
Speaker 2: You know me, I was indignant that we sports is
Speaker 2: on it.
Speaker 6: I think, you know, that is a big thing.
Speaker 4: That is a big thing we I know, I know
Speaker 4: that we have a BCR plan for this week, but
Speaker 4: I feel like maybe we should pivot and talk about
Speaker 4: this Rolling Stones top fift what we.
Speaker 5: Could probably do both real quick because we weren't going
Speaker 5: draft this week.
Speaker 1: We didn't wan't have time to gloat about me winning
Speaker 1: handily and Fantasy Critic, we.
Speaker 2: Don't make that quick and maybe it's such a good
Speaker 2: job share.
Speaker 6: I didn't lose.
Speaker 2: That's all that matters. So Lucy playing Skull and Bones,
Speaker 2: playing that, we'll make it happen.
Speaker 1: What I love it.
Speaker 2: It is like Lucy like doesn't see them, like what
Speaker 2: was that?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 2: I don't know what?
Speaker 4: All?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 4: Next email comes from AMP and this is actually timely
Speaker 4: based off of what Dan talked about. I'm playing through
Speaker 4: Indiana Jones and he keeps reminding me of playing Red
Speaker 4: Dead Redemption two in first person mode. They're both kind
Speaker 4: of clunky and you have to pull open the drawers,
Speaker 4: et cetera, et cetera. Maybe you guys should try Red
Speaker 4: Dead Redemption two again.
Speaker 2: Thinks so well, got.
Speaker 5: Good news for you for Dan. I did try Redemption
Speaker 5: two again. Uh was it last year or your Extra
Speaker 5: Life last year? For Extra Life last year?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 5: And when I did that, I was willing to be like, Okay,
Speaker 5: let's let's try. And then the second the game was
Speaker 5: like here here, follow this guy. I'm like, okay, I
Speaker 5: have a plan. I'll go over in this way and
Speaker 5: kind of cut them off. They're like, well you you
Speaker 5: didn't follow the guy? Game over? Yeah, okay, I'm just
Speaker 5: I do not like this game. This is a game
Speaker 5: that beat like is repulsive to me in a lot
Speaker 5: of ways.
Speaker 2: So I like it. I think it's fun to be
Speaker 2: a cowboy.
Speaker 5: Oh weird. I know.
Speaker 2: The thing is, I do want to play.
Speaker 1: It is not like when I played it the first time,
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm gonna be rooting too and shooting everyone,
Speaker 1: killing everyone cowt And like now that I've played, I've
Speaker 1: beat the game and I know who that character is.
Speaker 1: And by the end, I was like, I feel like
Speaker 1: I played the character wrong, Like I'm gonna play a
Speaker 1: little more properly.
Speaker 2: Just that I think.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's definitely kind of like they can't. It's like
Speaker 7: doing Koe Tour as a sith right, Like, I'm sorry,
Speaker 7: what I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: Story? Oh excuse me, a no tour? What did I say?
Speaker 2: Poopy pe or whatever poopy shoots please come on poopy
Speaker 2: shoots even say shoots it's a shoop.
Speaker 5: Maybe that is another thing that I had an issue with,
Speaker 5: where it's like, you know, it's from the team of
Speaker 5: a Grand Theft Auto. I want to be able to
Speaker 5: go make my own fun and the.
Speaker 2: Game does not care about I keep thinking about what
Speaker 2: we want.
Speaker 1: When we were I think it was during the Game
Speaker 1: of the Year stuff where it's like he played it
Speaker 1: as like a Cowboys simulator and like, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: see it.
Speaker 2: That way now, you know.
Speaker 7: I guess like it read that one like that to me, Like,
Speaker 7: and I'm somebody never really cared that much about g
Speaker 7: TA or that sand boxy stuff. Like it was like, oh,
Speaker 7: like I'm playing a Western and it's just really good
Speaker 7: at being a Western and you kind of have this
Speaker 7: open world and in service of that, but I wasn't
Speaker 7: necessarily going around even doing the thing everyone did, like
Speaker 7: I'm gonna tie up a person and put them on
Speaker 7: the train tracks are I was like, no, I mostly
Speaker 7: kind of here for this narrative experience and for this
Speaker 7: character stuff, and that all hit really well for me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the problem with me it was always
Speaker 5: like there's the suggestion the possibility is everywhere the train
Speaker 5: is going right there, I'm gonna go get on that
Speaker 5: train and I'm gonna hijacket and I'm gonna rob everybody
Speaker 5: on there. And you can kind of do that a
Speaker 5: little bit. And I think there's parts of the story
Speaker 5: maybe where they do exactly that. But when I tried
Speaker 5: to like just naturally do it, it's like it felt incomplete.
Speaker 5: It felt like an incomplete thought where, yeah, they didn't
Speaker 5: think about what if someone actually did that, how are
Speaker 5: they gonna interact with it? Just nothing happens.
Speaker 2: It's just weird.
Speaker 4: Sure, I like cowboys, I still don't like Red Duad.
Speaker 4: Maybe I'll maybe one day I'll go back. I think
Speaker 4: i'd be a bad shoot cowboy. Yah, yeah, I agree, Yeah,
Speaker 4: we all know you would. I think i'd be a
Speaker 4: good cowboy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could see it. Yeah, yeah, thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think I think I'm a wild shot. Who knows
Speaker 2: what kind of cowboy?
Speaker 1: Mike, do you think you'd be better as a shoot
Speaker 1: cowboy or deployed military person.
Speaker 7: There's like a lot of things you can do as
Speaker 7: a deployed military person. They wouldn't necessarily to put me in.
Speaker 2: You're in the field with a gun, like.
Speaker 5: You'd be a great chef on like a navy vessel
Speaker 5: or something.
Speaker 2: Combat combat.
Speaker 1: What do you think that would you between the cowboy
Speaker 1: and these cowboys have combat too?
Speaker 2: Yeah? But was that the right horses in the wagon?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 2: Like we have a stage coach. Oh, you see the
Speaker 2: movie Stage Coach? It was fun.
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm sure it's very problematic. It's the black
Speaker 7: and white Cowboy movie, but you know interesting. Yeah, I
Speaker 7: guess I'll kill a modern military person. Probably might work
Speaker 7: out slightly better for me. I'm afraid I'd not do either.
Speaker 6: Fast forward a couple months and he's war Zone.
Speaker 2: Operator.
Speaker 4: Yeah, out with like an upside down pineapple tattoo and
Speaker 4: Mickey's on his gun.
Speaker 2: It's a charm, all right.
Speaker 4: Speaking about Mike Manatti, we have an email about Mike Manatti.
Speaker 5: I love the show.
Speaker 2: Hello, Bambas.
Speaker 4: Every time someone travels to a theme park with Mikey,
Speaker 4: they seem so glad and thankful for having him there
Speaker 4: for the rest of the crew. What is a place
Speaker 4: or situation that you could go with the rest of
Speaker 4: the GB crew and they'd say, oh, thank god we
Speaker 4: brought you. Love the show. Love the show, Love you all.
Speaker 4: Mike from Loveland.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was like, I was thinking I might not
Speaker 5: have an answer to this because most of the time
Speaker 5: I'm like I don't want to entertain people. But I
Speaker 5: think I would be pretty good in like a really
Speaker 5: bad like if the building was on fire, I could
Speaker 5: get you all out was getting derailed if something bad
Speaker 5: was happening, and you just need someone that could lock
Speaker 5: in in that moment and then as soon as over
Speaker 5: would be useless, I'm your go.
Speaker 7: Mix, Like, yeah, sure I need that because I would
Speaker 7: be like your kids. I am somebody I do just freeze,
Speaker 7: and I'm the exact opposite where I'm frozen most of
Speaker 7: the time. And then a train starts to derail, I'm like,
Speaker 7: all right, let's go in action. Make sure everyone's okay.
Speaker 7: Like that's yeah, that's where I excel.
Speaker 6: Uh, Jan, you've been to wrestlating with me? Is that
Speaker 6: for one hundred percent?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 6: I feel confident that I'm a good wrestle guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm someone that gets very shy when I have
Speaker 4: to like pass through security and everything. And then Dan
Speaker 4: was like, let's just walk on the floor. I'm like okay,
Speaker 4: and we did.
Speaker 2: It was great. It works more than it doesn't. I've
Speaker 2: been doing that for decades.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Dan has a really good like like saunter to him,
Speaker 4: and then like when we passed through security, I'll just
Speaker 4: be like and then just keep going.
Speaker 5: And it's like, all right, I think, yeah, could we
Speaker 5: all just walked into the Netflix party, right?
Speaker 2: H what are you talking about? Sure?
Speaker 6: I mean no, we all got our wristbands properly.
Speaker 5: We were on Netflix. Yeah, And I think that Nikki
Speaker 5: did it with the most confidence, clearly, right. And I
Speaker 5: think I I got in, I was fine, but they
Speaker 5: definitely noticed me and like, and they tried to stop me,
Speaker 5: but I just walked too fast. So I think I
Speaker 5: was pretty bad at it, so bad that I ruined
Speaker 5: it for Sean for like ten minutes. He couldn't also
Speaker 5: do it. But I think all of you pulled it
Speaker 5: off without any issues.
Speaker 6: And then I stole my.
Speaker 5: Nice Yeah.
Speaker 2: All right, I don't know Jan what about you? Where's
Speaker 2: your thing?
Speaker 4: I don't know, like a GB at night set, I'm like, hey,
Speaker 4: I need you here now, all right?
Speaker 2: Cool? This is what we need to.
Speaker 4: Uh. Even though I do less now, I still feel
Speaker 4: like I need to be in the room when it's
Speaker 4: happening in the room where it happens. Thank you, h
Speaker 4: Wynn Manuel Mitchaudie. All right, final email of the show.
Speaker 4: Thank you everyone for sending your emails to we we got.
Speaker 4: We had an abundance, a cornucopia of emails over the
Speaker 4: holiday break, and I appreciate all of them. But last
Speaker 4: one comes from Josh the Canadian. Happy New Year, Bombers.
Speaker 4: Last year you helped me wrap my head around the
Speaker 4: analog pocket and ways to play old games. Thank you
Speaker 4: again for the advice. You saved me hundreds of dollars
Speaker 4: and potentially a huge headache dealing with counterfeit carts. I
Speaker 4: need your advice one more time. There are beach read books,
Speaker 4: but what about beach play video games. Maybe they're brainless games,
Speaker 4: short and length, or have super happy vibes, whatever.
Speaker 2: You think fits.
Speaker 4: I'm heading to Mexico to lay on a beach for
Speaker 4: a week, and I'm looking for a good beach game
Speaker 4: to help me relax.
Speaker 2: It unwined.
Speaker 4: For some reason, playing retro games on the pocket while
Speaker 4: playing on a beach is tickling me in the best ways.
Speaker 4: Thanks in advance for helping me, helping to tickle me.
Speaker 4: But you love, Josh the Canadian.
Speaker 6: You know what is a great unwined game on the pocket.
Speaker 6: Donkey Kong ninety four.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, oh sure, it looks great, plays great, it's
Speaker 1: just a fun, breezy time.
Speaker 6: That's a great one for that.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: Mario Golf fite size as well, Mario what Mario Golf.
Speaker 1: That's a great one.
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7: Now I don't think they're necessarily asking specifically for analog
Speaker 7: pocket games.
Speaker 2: Or are they.
Speaker 1: They say at the end of playing retro games on
Speaker 1: the pocket while laying on a beach is tickling me.
Speaker 7: You're right, You're right, okay, so yeah, yeah, gosh, kindinety
Speaker 7: four is such a great pick. I mean Tetris like
Speaker 7: Tetris the X would be very good for that of course,
Speaker 7: right or be off beat? Get zoup remember so yeah, yeah, yes,
Speaker 7: get Zoop Soup.
Speaker 5: On a podcast over the break, I talked about Zoop
Speaker 5: Warriorare yeah the person without a doubt Warrior. You know
Speaker 5: what I did is I found a bunch of English
Speaker 5: translations of games that never came out in America and
Speaker 5: I put those are the first ones I put in
Speaker 5: my anali pocket and I started going through those. That's
Speaker 5: a good time, I got it.
Speaker 2: I got it. Okay, you play bock tie because you're
Speaker 2: on the beach, there's gonna be so much so.
Speaker 1: You don't have No, No, that's not going to work
Speaker 1: on the analog pocket. It will if you get the
Speaker 1: shoe cartridge.
Speaker 5: If you get the shoe cartridge, which we're talking about,
Speaker 5: what do you get?
Speaker 7: Oh right, you have in the car? Yeah yeah yeah,
Speaker 7: get bucked. You get a back tie cartridge, you'll be fine. Yeah,
Speaker 7: it's a day I should play Snatcher two.
Speaker 5: Our phones have I bring this up every time, but
Speaker 5: I just like want to like check again. Our phones
Speaker 5: have light sensors. Can they use can emulators use that
Speaker 5: to emulate the buck tie cartridge? I hope that's possible.
Speaker 5: If anyone knows, let me know. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Sean says, yes, okay, all right right, cool, okay, cool cool?
Speaker 4: Any other beach game? Rex, I don't know. Sports games
Speaker 4: in general I think are good.
Speaker 2: Race not Wave Race sixty four, just Wave Race, the
Speaker 2: first one that came on a game boy.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, uh, it's actually pretty good.
Speaker 1: Actually, bring a switch and play Mario Sunshine on Page
