Speaker 4: he's operating at Turmo Shaw Sean McDowell.
Speaker 1: My consciousness is fading, jan I'm not exactly sure why.

Speaker 4: a scooge different, it's because we're doing this all in
Speaker 4: person altogether, and but we're also doing this at the
Speaker 4: tail end of a twenty four hour stream, so things
Speaker 4: a little loopy. I feel embarrassed that I fell asleep
Speaker 4: on a chair.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit in.
Speaker 2: The producer chair or no, there, you're deep sleep snoring.
Speaker 10: You were snoring, and everyone just kept saying how cute
Speaker 10: it was, Like we all loved it.
Speaker 4: It was adorable.
Speaker 7: It's not cute when I snore, told me it's been cute.
Speaker 7: What happens when you say it's loud? Yeah, yeah, it's bad.
Speaker 7: I got the seapap for that now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, what is that?
Speaker 10: Why you have got a bed?

Speaker 1: We love a care pack. Jan how's your diaben?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, so we I'm very thankful that we smashed
Speaker 4: through all of our initial goals within like thirty minutes,
Speaker 4: within thirty minute minutes. Yeah, shouts out to my seat
Speaker 4: poppies out there, Uh cool poppies, And we are kind
Speaker 4: of in a rush. We're like, okay, let's go make
Speaker 4: this new goal. All right, we're gonna go do this show.
Speaker 4: Let's go do this good night. And then I just
Speaker 4: stand up look at Chuck one hundred nuggets, and then
Speaker 4: Vinnie was also there. He also looked at me and
Speaker 4: was like hunted nuggets. He said, just like that, Just
Speaker 4: like that, Vinni carrav I bring out a different side
Speaker 4: of Vinnie Caravella. And then Backlar immediately ordered McDonald's. This
Speaker 4: it didn't happen, have to happen then and there, it
Speaker 4: could have happened like now.
Speaker 8: Well, we also went through some of the nutritional facts
Speaker 8: of what we don't need to recount. No, I'm not
Speaker 8: saying we need to talk about those numbers again.
Speaker 1: Who's to say just under fourth? Nobody knows, nobody knows,
Speaker 1: there's no way to know.
Speaker 4: And as y'all now know, I'm kind of like a
Speaker 4: dry guy, like a sauceless boss when it comes to
Speaker 4: approaching regulation nuggets. They do say that about you on
Speaker 4: the streets, they do.
Speaker 1: And I don't like it.
Speaker 4: And I got through sixty last night, an additional twenty
Speaker 4: at five am this morning, and I polished off the
Speaker 4: remaining twenty. When we're stringing Mario Kart a little bit ago, No,
Speaker 4: don't applaud this, don't applaud this one hundred nuggets. Folks
Speaker 4: at home, take this as a cautionary tale. Don't promise
Speaker 4: lofty things like eating an obscene amount of nuggets.
Speaker 1: How would you take it as a cautionary tale? I
Speaker 1: should sign.
Speaker 2: No fucking good, it's fair if you find it.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, all right, so explain what happened for the
Speaker 3: audio listeners right there?
Speaker 4: Okay, So moist is taveris my dear friend for now
Speaker 4: held up a an iPad and it just said, do
Speaker 4: you want to say what it's said? I was gonna
Speaker 4: save this to get mushy at the end, but can
Speaker 4: I just say it now? Yeah? Sure, all right, all right,
Speaker 4: all right? I love all of you guys, like honest
Speaker 4: to god, life is not a waste of time. Time
Speaker 4: is not a waste of life. So let's get way
Speaker 4: and have the time of our lives.
Speaker 1: Hell, it's my favorite black eyed good that's pit bull dog.
Speaker 4: Come on, I thought it's the worldwide? Has anyone been
Speaker 4: playing anything other than everything we've been playing on stream?
Speaker 7: The Pokemon Pokemon Monster, I'm rank b. You know what
Speaker 7: the bee stands for?
Speaker 2: Him?
Speaker 1: Yea balls? What you've been saying it all week?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 6: He?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: That one?

Speaker 1: it says again, I'm ready to pokemon. No no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no, we'll I'll cue you. Has it even playing
Speaker 1: anything other than what we been streaming? I have, Jim,
Speaker 1: what's that? I've been playing Pokemon and I'm rake b
Speaker 1: Now what's the bee stand for bert EDGs except for booch?
Speaker 1: Why is this what you're saying now?
Speaker 4: I'm like, you didn't die on the toilet?
Speaker 1: Why do you say that now?
Speaker 4: Did?
Speaker 1: You just said?
Speaker 4: At one time you guys laughed really hard and it
Speaker 4: encouraged me. I'm sorry you shouldn't have laughed.
Speaker 1: I mean it was funny.
Speaker 4: I think out of every when Mike has had the
Speaker 4: least if no amount of sleep at all. Zero.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's the wildest sleep schedule of any of us.
Speaker 2: Maybe you're to sleep.
Speaker 1: I would have had a full night's sleep by now
Speaker 1: quite a while ago. To be clear, Well, you know
Speaker 1: what it does.
Speaker 8: I do think this now just sort of like evens
Speaker 8: out the team for the year, right, like how so
Speaker 8: because you know he's up at noon and we're not.
Speaker 8: And now I think this whole twenty four hours has
Speaker 8: called you.
Speaker 11: Up with.
Speaker 7: After this, when I go to bed at six pm
Speaker 7: and then sleep for fifteen hours, we're not going to
Speaker 7: be in a great place.
Speaker 4: Promotionally, or Bobby crant Bush. Uh, I'm assuming you like Pokemon.
Speaker 1: Like video games? ISLD that game?
Speaker 4: I like when the Pokemon fight. Uh yeah, there's like
Speaker 4: there's some neat characters. I think they're kind of fun.
Speaker 7: I'm part of a part of a group called We're
Speaker 7: Team m Z and they keep saying that, like that's
Speaker 7: a cool name, but it's a bad.
Speaker 1: Day for a team.
Speaker 4: You remember what it stands for.
Speaker 1: The zeus stands for the day of the hotel we're
Speaker 1: from hotel, and.
Speaker 10: Stands for something you do, not like mega evolutions.
Speaker 2: That's right, he said, mapple.
Speaker 1: That's how that sound broken. The episode, doesn't lap.
Speaker 5: I said it so confidently that I was just like, yeah,
Speaker 5: that's up.
Speaker 1: Take my brain, and I can only think of what
Speaker 1: things they say something I don't like.
Speaker 4: The only thing I can think about right now is
Speaker 4: the thing I dislike the most, which apparently is in
Speaker 4: fact apples.
Speaker 10: You've been reduced to the Burton joke and your.
Speaker 1: Fear of apples, and.
Speaker 2: I should have at least gutsed some.
Speaker 1: Mugs that starts with an EM. I like Pokemon. I
Speaker 1: found where of.
Speaker 4: The ev high without.
Speaker 1: I'm catching some ev now. I don't think the platform.
Speaker 7: You know, they had these scoffolds, and that's like an
Speaker 7: opportunity of platforming. You can't really jump, you could just
Speaker 7: kind of fall and roll into platforms, which feels bad.
Speaker 7: You kind of get like the worst flutter jump ever later,
Speaker 7: So you know, I missed opportunity there, I suppose, uh,
Speaker 7: but yeah, it's fun.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry for everyone in the room that is
Speaker 1: already used to our bullshit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, thanks for bearing with us, Isabella. We appreciate it. Fantastic,
Speaker 4: fantastic twelve podcast points, Isabella. As Sean, you and I
Speaker 4: haven't really talked about Pokemon legends. Yeah, Pokemon, Jesse, you've
Speaker 4: also been you deep in you give people the advice
Speaker 4: just throw that starter in the box where they belong.
Speaker 3: Star tell me why, because I'm I'm at the point
Speaker 3: where I might be making that decision soon.
Speaker 6: So okay, I want to make something very clear. This
Speaker 6: is not all starter starter Pokemon. But if you got
Speaker 6: three that you're not vibing with, get rid of them,
Speaker 6: throw them in the bin. There's there's a wide world
Speaker 6: to Pokemon. You don't got to stick with your starter.
Speaker 6: They don't got to be friends, they just got to
Speaker 6: be tools. There are means to wow, and I nickname
Speaker 6: all my Pokemon. But sometimes you look at a Pokemon
Speaker 6: you're like, you're going in the box and you're not leaving,
Speaker 6: You're going nowhere like them.
Speaker 7: Yeah exactly, Okay, yeah, yeah, what's straight in the box?
Speaker 4: It's not a real pokemonds problematic.
Speaker 1: A lot of them do. Jan I think the game's
Speaker 1: pretty good.
Speaker 4: I think it's really good and I'm happy and I'm
Speaker 4: upset about it because I thought I was done and
Speaker 4: then we made one of the incentives to reopen the
Speaker 4: Pokemon Monday Night Combat Gym, which we hit. So I have, Jesse,
Speaker 4: have you checked out like the multi online multiplayer battle,
Speaker 4: because I haven't done any of that yet.
Speaker 5: I've seen some clips of it, but gotten I want
Speaker 5: to finish the game.
Speaker 11: And there's like the four way battle Royale or thing
Speaker 11: or whatever. But I think there's regular battles as well, right.
Speaker 6: That I'm unsure about. I know there's a ranked mode,
Speaker 6: that's all I know. Yeah, because I think that's how
Speaker 6: you got to get mega grinninga or whatever.
Speaker 1: Rights battles. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mostly just want to mob up on the internet
Speaker 4: and just do an inadvert in three v one on
Speaker 4: whoever poor Soul comes across us or natural Yeah that
Speaker 4: was for you, Mike, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The further I get in what I'm like, been
Speaker 1: a little busy past couple of weeks, so not a
Speaker 1: time time.
Speaker 11: Wow, time to play, can imagine. So I'm like sixteen
Speaker 11: hours and I think it's my clock count. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 11: taking my time too, So you know, I'm not Pokemon
Speaker 11: are kind of high level, but I'm not super far in.
Speaker 11: There's you know, there's the occasional awkward presentation thing, but
Speaker 11: generally it's like they really win the right direction with
Speaker 11: this one.
Speaker 4: Like across the board, I think I, like I said,
Speaker 4: I've been enjoying most of my time I'm around. I
Speaker 4: think I'm around the same place as Mikey. Because Mikey,
Speaker 4: you you had posted about how bothered you were about
Speaker 4: them just skipping a bunch of ranks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that was a while, Yeah I did.
Speaker 7: I kind of liked, uh, the formula they're setting up, like, yeah,
Speaker 7: you got to work through the ranks and when does
Speaker 7: this happen kind of in them, I forget in the.
Speaker 1: Middle probably like ten hours. Yeah, okay, it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: actually we need you to be rank f right now.
Speaker 3: I gotta say I was pretty excited about that premise
Speaker 3: of like I'm gonna I'm gonna climb my way up
Speaker 3: the ladder. That is what has me excited about the
Speaker 3: game right now, and so hearing that is like a
Speaker 3: little discouraging.
Speaker 4: But you guys all still seem to very much.
Speaker 2: Like I think.
Speaker 11: I think they lets you cook a little bit longer, okay,
Speaker 11: and maybe only skip like ten or so. I think
Speaker 11: they skip a lot more.
Speaker 6: For how much they set up and explain to you
Speaker 6: how this system is going to work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, long time.
Speaker 5: To make sure.
Speaker 4: Well, they take a long time to explain everything everything.
Speaker 6: But especially with the Zier Royale, and then suddenly they're like, ah,
Speaker 6: you know what, Frank fea about it. It's like, well,
Speaker 6: we spent a lot of time going through this for
Speaker 6: you all to be like, hey, you know what, we
Speaker 6: got some other things we want to do in st Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I can't get over it, y'all. I can't get
Speaker 1: over the lack of voice acting.
Speaker 3: It's it's it's just so noticeable, especially when you start
Speaker 3: the game. I'm not going to say it still bothers me,
Speaker 3: but I think you're right not to get over it.
Speaker 3: It is, so you know, even if they went just
Speaker 3: one more step, like to take your toe move it
Speaker 3: six inches forward and just include like a voice grunt
Speaker 3: when your character sure talking, there's complete silence.
Speaker 4: It's kind of wacky at this point. Yeah, twenty five.
Speaker 11: I think I was telling Grub the thing they should
Speaker 11: die least is like how Persona often does it, because
Speaker 11: Persona has a lot of textboxes, a lot of dialogues,
Speaker 11: Like have have the major cut scenes fully voice and
Speaker 11: then yeah, I have have those like efforts and grunts
Speaker 11: and stuff for just random textboxes, yea, and that would
Speaker 11: be okay, Like it's the kind of thing where like
Speaker 11: I'm over it. I kind of just don't care because
Speaker 11: it doesn't detract from the gameplay. But I'm never gonna
Speaker 11: say that's like acceptable. No, they actually absolutely should put
Speaker 11: that effort in. And we know as reasons why they
Speaker 11: didn't do that budget constraints, but like again that that's
Speaker 11: the company they should just put that.
Speaker 10: Yeah, they're the ones setting their budget exactly.
Speaker 11: They should put the money in so that game Freak
Speaker 11: can do this right, because they did everything else right
Speaker 11: I feel in every other regard. So it's just like
Speaker 11: it's glaring the problem.
Speaker 7: I think I was talking to maybe Jenner Sean. It
Speaker 7: was like I saw Vida going around that was comparing
Speaker 7: a cut scene. It was from Scarlett and Vite to
Speaker 7: the new like the newest Digimon game, and it's hilarious.
Speaker 7: How much better the production values are on the Digimon game,
Speaker 7: which must sell like a twentieth if that of what Pokemon.
Speaker 1: Does, and they're still doing all this incredible stuff.
Speaker 11: That also reminds me of the art thing that I
Speaker 11: didn't say on air, which was it's hilarious how that
Speaker 11: you know that's like it's not Banded I Namco developed,
Speaker 11: but is published by them, but like the band I
Speaker 11: Namco Pokemon games like New Pokemon Snap have hilariously higher
Speaker 11: production value than game freaks Pokemon games.
Speaker 1: So it's definitely like a game freak issue.
Speaker 4: In the friend of the website actually confirmed with me
Speaker 4: the ranks that you skip are available to climb and
Speaker 4: take or go through in the postgame.
Speaker 1: Well, there's just like, yeah, there's some kind of game.
Speaker 4: I said.
Speaker 3: It was get in that sense that like they maybe
Speaker 3: wanted to edit it out of you know a lot
Speaker 3: of games are doing that right now, where it's like,
Speaker 3: let's maybe get you to the credits, not as soon
Speaker 3: as possible, but in a relatively expedited sense, and then
Speaker 3: we can put a bunch of stuff after the credits,
Speaker 3: because then people will form their opinion about this game then,
Speaker 3: and then all that stuff will feel like a bonus,
Speaker 3: even if it is clearly still part of the game.
Speaker 7: But like Jay is always gonna be after a like
Speaker 7: I don't you know, Yeah, there's ranks after the post game,
Speaker 7: but I like the idea of the z to.
Speaker 4: A better still. Yeah. The biggest change for me though,
Speaker 4: is all this just taking place in Loumio City. Does
Speaker 4: that bother y'all? You'll like this tighter environment? I like
Speaker 4: it too, Yeah, I think it's n Yeah.
Speaker 6: Really, what's up, Jesse sous Is? I think maybe my
Speaker 6: favorite Pokemon game.
Speaker 1: If not, it's up there, okay.
Speaker 6: And I think the justification for how you and why
Speaker 6: you explore that world is like really compelling. And somebody
Speaker 6: said this to me early on it was like stuck
Speaker 6: with me. Uh, A city in which you can't go
Speaker 6: in most of the buildings is just amaze. Sure, and
Speaker 6: that's how this feels to me. Sure, Like the NPCs
Speaker 6: breeded some life into it, and there's some really good
Speaker 6: interactions there, eat the mic. There's some really good interactions there. However,
Speaker 6: it's just the wild area is like, don't do it
Speaker 6: for me.
Speaker 5: It's like really difficult, like really really challenging.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't know.
Speaker 5: I keep going back and forth on it like a lot.
Speaker 11: So I think that's fair because, yeah, despite Legends being
Speaker 11: the substitle, still it's a very different kind of game.
Speaker 11: I didn't really vibe with Archias because I felt like
Speaker 11: it was kind of an empty open world, like it's
Speaker 11: kind of just mostly flat land until you get to
Speaker 11: some of the later areas with not a lot to do,
Speaker 11: like there's no towns or anything like that. So I think,
Speaker 11: you know, like it might sound weird to credit them
Speaker 11: for this, but if you're going to have a game
Speaker 11: with not a lot of stuff in it, because you know,
Speaker 11: like game pushed in the way that you are development
Speaker 11: development wise, I think it was kind of smart to
Speaker 11: set it in one big city, kind of a f
Speaker 11: F seven remake style, because everyone when everyone found out
Speaker 11: that f F seven remake would just be in mid Guard,
Speaker 11: they were like, Oh, that's gonna be terrible. How are
Speaker 11: you going to have a forty hour RPG set in
Speaker 11: one city? And then was because the city is big
Speaker 11: and there's a lot of like things to do. LEGENDSYA
Speaker 11: does not have that level, and I wish it did,
Speaker 11: because you're right, like there's a lot of like running
Speaker 11: down a corridor and there's not really anything to do.
Speaker 11: You're kind of just getting to the next area. But
Speaker 11: I at least like the urban setting sort of your
Speaker 11: eye is drawn to like items on the ground and
Speaker 11: you want to, like if you want to explore the
Speaker 11: rooftops to find different Pokemon, you want to climb and stuff.
Speaker 11: I I dig what they're doing. I think it's interesting
Speaker 11: just because not a lot of games do.
Speaker 1: Something like that.
Speaker 7: I just let you know, at this point, so many
Speaker 7: Pokemon games. I just like that it's a little different.
Speaker 7: I've seen a lot of grassy fields of Pokemon, man, Like, I.
Speaker 11: Don't want every Pokemon game to be like this. I
Speaker 11: think if this is the one Pokemon game that explores
Speaker 11: like just one urban setting, I think.
Speaker 7: That's kind of maybe ten years from now, give me
Speaker 7: one and like the black and white New York stand
Speaker 7: and that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, have any of y'all ever been to France.
Speaker 4: Yes, I have to Belgium. It's basically France Disneyland there,
Speaker 4: so I had to go, Okay, is there constantly just
Speaker 4: scaffolding that the youth is just running around?
Speaker 1: Little of it?
Speaker 4: From what I recall, I don't remember seeing much scaffolding.
Speaker 4: Was was it their youth parkouring about?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 4: You know what, didn't see a single fucking pokemon? Well, no,
Speaker 4: I'm talking about the youth parkouring.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know, not that either. I got some
Speaker 7: I got people try to scam me pretty hard. They
Speaker 7: like they some like young young girls, like, oh, we
Speaker 7: have a petition to help the poor. We give us
Speaker 7: like money. I'm like, uh, yeah, I guess I said,
Speaker 7: try scammy. They scam because I gave them twenty euro
Speaker 7: whatever you got scam, yeah, I'm like. And then of
Speaker 7: course they're like now can you oh, can you give
Speaker 7: us one hundred now? And then like for more of
Speaker 7: them show up right and it's like you're right in
Speaker 7: front of Notre Dame. It's like clearly the scam. So
Speaker 7: then you do have to be like Congress like no,
Speaker 7: like you had to really like push through them. Basically
Speaker 7: it's an uncomfortable thing and that's Uh, my favorite Pokemon
Speaker 7: is with Plorion, Uh, Dan Reikert.
Speaker 2: I just I kind of don't worry about me. Like
Speaker 2: any other stories travel, any stories you want to share
Speaker 2: with us. What's the first thing that comes to mind
Speaker 2: travel story travel that we haven't heard?
Speaker 1: Well, I mostly go to disney World. It's safe and nice.
Speaker 7: Related, It's so safe and nice when you go to
Speaker 7: disney World. No one can hurt Mickey's there o ckys nice.
Speaker 1: All right, Dan, right up, Jan, we don't have a
Speaker 1: run of show. We're just going off the what.
Speaker 4: But something that is, something that you've shown me this
Speaker 4: weekend that has made me uh, it's hit several web
Speaker 4: pages and do the hemming and halling constantly, is the
Speaker 4: a y n Thor. Yes, folks that don't know, Dan,
Speaker 4: could you describe to the folks at home what that
Speaker 4: is or what is?
Speaker 2: There are so many like you know, portable emulator devices
Speaker 2: for lack of a better term right now, and Greb
Speaker 2: and I are kind of sick of those things. You know,
Speaker 2: everything from like you know, higher end thing like a
Speaker 2: steam deck to the cheaper like an Bernicks and stuff
Speaker 2: like that. But the deal with the ayn Thor is
Speaker 2: that it's a dual screen. It is very much that
Speaker 2: kind of clamshell design. It's not super bulky. It's like
Speaker 2: not too far off from like the original three DS
Speaker 2: size and everything. And you know, I've I've done some
Speaker 2: things like this before, Like there's the flip what is
Speaker 2: it an EO e O flip DS and that's huge
Speaker 2: and it's like twice as expensive, twice as buldoes. It's
Speaker 2: a Windows device, so it's really finicky and stuff. So
Speaker 2: I didn't really use that much, but use that much,
Speaker 2: but the thor, oh my god, this is like quickly
Speaker 2: become my like, this is my go to if it's
Speaker 2: in your pocket. It is powerful. It plays everything up
Speaker 2: to like I've got like, you know, GameCube PS two
Speaker 2: on it, and it runs incredibly well like PS two
Speaker 2: at four times resolution and everything. It the touch screen
Speaker 2: stuff for the DS is excellent. Yeah, it's so easy
Speaker 2: to just follow, you know, the these you know, like
Speaker 2: an hour and a half long tutorial of was it
Speaker 2: Jason's retro Handheld?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's the one you mentioned that you
Speaker 4: went through it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that one retro game Core. You know, they have
Speaker 2: some some great oriols to get everything set up just
Speaker 2: nice and clean, so it boots right to all your consoles,
Speaker 2: all your game libraries. You can just it's just so
Speaker 2: fun to configure and everything. And then once you're done,
Speaker 2: it's like, well, here's just the perfect on the go
Speaker 2: gaming device. You know, two analog sticks, you know, all
Speaker 2: the buttons are really solid and everything. You know, it's
Speaker 2: very easy to just like it's Android, so you can
Speaker 2: have like, if you want on the bottom screen, you've
Speaker 2: got your Netflix and Prime Video and YouTube and Chrome
Speaker 2: if you want to do like a you know, a
Speaker 2: walkthrough something games on the top where you can flip it,
Speaker 2: you know, depending on the aspect ratio what you want it.
Speaker 2: It's just awesome. It's a handed Mike. We had Mario
Speaker 2: sixty four on the top and The Cat's Movie on
Speaker 2: the bottom, and it's among the happiest I've seen, Like, yeah.
Speaker 1: One of the greatest things that's ever happened to me.
Speaker 4: It's a I think it's really Android surprising me about
Speaker 4: how well it works. It's just like the dual screen setup.
Speaker 4: Apparently Android now just completely understands that. It doesn't confuse
Speaker 4: it at all. That's the thing that's like Windows. It's
Speaker 4: like yeah, we support that, but it's so powerful that
Speaker 4: we give you so much control that it doesn't just
Speaker 4: work like it's Sean Blake you.
Speaker 11: Well, it's funny because my understanding and shouts to retro
Speaker 11: game Corp uh Russ explain this in one of his videos.
Speaker 11: I believe Android just treats that as like an external monitor.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, because like you know, underneath it's it's Linux,
Speaker 3: so they have the ability to like bring that stuff
Speaker 3: in and then Android's like, really, we might might just
Speaker 3: be using this in a situation very much like this,
Speaker 3: so all that other software kind of understands where it's
Speaker 3: gonna be.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I love it, And like the retroid devices also run Android,
Speaker 11: and it's nice because you have all the options to
Speaker 11: set up the way you want, which is great because
Speaker 11: then you can install like emulation station or different front
Speaker 11: end to like control everything. Then once it's all set up,
Speaker 11: like you can configure out however you want or use
Speaker 11: out of the box, and either way, like you get
Speaker 11: the experience you want, which is really cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Mine's like that g show or something is the front
Speaker 2: end and the wallpaper packs and everything, and it's just
Speaker 2: so nice. It's really and from that it launches all
Speaker 2: the different like okay, some are retro ors, some are
Speaker 2: gonna be dolphin things like that. But obviously, like we
Speaker 2: you and everything can run on it with the dual screen.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I was just gonna say quickly the hardware and
Speaker 11: this thing is kind of awesome. Yeah, it's one of
Speaker 11: the highest end chips for Android. It's like like two
Speaker 11: down from the top. Basically it's like the third fastest
Speaker 11: on market, I believe, and like so like everything just
Speaker 11: runs on it, just every Yeah, if it has an
Speaker 11: emulator on Android, you'll run it like basically flawlessly, like
Speaker 11: as much as that emulator can run that flawlessly. So
Speaker 11: like Pi'll still run to hitching with some newer systems,
Speaker 11: you know, but like any older stuff you can like
Speaker 11: Saturn and like high end N sixty four like no
Speaker 11: problem GAMEQ and all that.
Speaker 1: It's great.
Speaker 11: And then uh, something that I can't I can't not
Speaker 11: have a handheld nowadays, dual old ed screens.
Speaker 4: Which is like it's gorgeous good. Yeah, and both are
Speaker 4: touch if anyone missed that, they're both.
Speaker 2: Touched and even stuff like you know, I didn't know
Speaker 2: if it had like an nextcelerometer and stuff and at first,
Speaker 2: so I loaded up Warrior Worre Gold on three DS
Speaker 2: and it's got the whole like Warrior Worre twisted stuff,
Speaker 2: and it's like, yep, okay, all the turning stuff works
Speaker 2: totally fine.
Speaker 4: It's often like easier an Android than it is in
Speaker 4: some of these Linux devices where it's like that's that
Speaker 4: stuff doesn't not necessarily come with those chip sets. It
Speaker 4: almost always.
Speaker 1: Because it's basically an Android phone, like you just get
Speaker 1: the same chip as a phone.
Speaker 2: It's been eye opening to me because like I've never
Speaker 2: had an Android phone or like a lot of the
Speaker 2: stuff I've worked Android, Like when I had the flipped
Speaker 2: Yes yeah, first I was like, oh Windows, I know, Windows,
Speaker 2: this is great. I can get Steam, I can get
Speaker 2: Epic Game Store and all that stuff on here. But
Speaker 2: it also just came with so it was so fucking
Speaker 2: finicky trying to get this thing work. And this was
Speaker 2: just really streamlined. I mean when I turn it on,
Speaker 2: it just boots straight to that dig show front end
Speaker 2: and everything. It's just what's it called again, A y
Speaker 2: N four four.
Speaker 1: That's like that fellow with the hammer. Yeah, good one.
Speaker 8: Listen, you know Dan, Like I I I feel the
Speaker 8: enthusiasm that you and grub share for these gadgets.
Speaker 1: Uh, but every time you get excited about one.
Speaker 2: It's gonna give me a ship for not knowing Android earlier.
Speaker 2: Is that the deal?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 10: No, I think we're gonna get shipped excited about a
Speaker 10: different one every two months.
Speaker 2: No, okay, I just do the angly tics.
Speaker 1: Yeah totally. I don't know. Maybe have that conversation in
Speaker 1: your own fucking mind, not out loud.
Speaker 4: I'm bad at podcasting.
Speaker 2: We get it.
Speaker 8: I like, I want to get one, but every time
Speaker 8: you guys are horny for one, I'm like, oh, maybe
Speaker 8: I'll get this one, and I like keep it open
Speaker 8: in a tab. By the time I get to that tab,
Speaker 8: you guys are like, oh, just do the the Kirkland byfuckle.
Speaker 10: You're like, you're like, all right, that bifuckle does fuck.
Speaker 4: It really good.
Speaker 2: It's getting a little long in the tooth.
Speaker 8: But yeah, but you like, and I know you're back
Speaker 8: genuinely sincere, like thing like I want one of these things,
Speaker 8: but I'm gonna buy a thour And then the byefuck
Speaker 8: is like.
Speaker 2: You know when you go into buy a car and
Speaker 2: the guys like, what are the things that are important
Speaker 2: to you, and cars come out once a year, I know,
Speaker 2: but we want to be the sales in for you here.
Speaker 2: What are the things you want in a like handheld?
Speaker 10: What's gonna take to get you into these old ass games?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess, I guess the dual screen thing is
Speaker 1: the most novel part of it.
Speaker 3: It's not just not like I think S and three
Speaker 3: DS no stylegic hitting very hard right now. I think
Speaker 3: we're all like, that's a wide range of people. It's
Speaker 3: older people, it's younger people. Yeah, everyone had those systems, right,
Speaker 3: and like everyone's kind of aching to go back those
Speaker 3: systems at the same time. And this is the first
Speaker 3: device that is really really, really good at that with
Speaker 3: no compromises. There's no there's like other ways to do it,
Speaker 3: like you know a lot of ways. It's just like
Speaker 3: go get a three DS and hack that thing, and
Speaker 3: that's awesome, That's that's fun.
Speaker 4: But we're never going to tell you to do that.
Speaker 3: This I would tell you to get and actually not
Speaker 3: have too much like hesitation about being like, oh, is
Speaker 3: he going to feel left out when we're talking about
Speaker 3: something else.
Speaker 10: In a few months, that thing won't be as much
Speaker 10: for you as this thing is.
Speaker 11: I think as the original hardware is starting to break down,
Speaker 11: it's starting to get That's why, that's why it's good
Speaker 11: to have emulation handhelds or just held in general that
Speaker 11: can do emulation, like the Steam Deck.
Speaker 1: It's because the preservation thing.
Speaker 11: Like it's cool then now like you don't awkwardly have
Speaker 11: to have like a Steam Deck with like one big
Speaker 11: screen one little screen for three DS or anything like that,
Speaker 11: like DS side by side. It's a device purpose built
Speaker 11: to do those things, like as if it were on
Speaker 11: the original And what's the what's.
Speaker 8: The latest compatibility platform it has?
Speaker 2: I mean I have up to PS two in GameCube
Speaker 2: on there, I've seen you can do original Xbox you.
Speaker 8: Could do you could do switch like that maybe on
Speaker 8: the market. Yeah, sleep grubs, yeah, sort of cold. All right,
Speaker 8: I guess some kind of soul.
Speaker 2: Says PS three actually runs great on it. Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: that's like I was saying.
Speaker 11: It's like as good as those emulators that are now
Speaker 11: Android are, Like it runs them very well. It's like
Speaker 11: the other week I said that like the Retroid Pocket Classic,
Speaker 11: if you want like a game Boy sell one, like
Speaker 11: that's the one because I can't think of what more
Speaker 11: you would want for like eight bits, sixteen bits that
Speaker 11: was last week and now this.
Speaker 2: If you don't really care about the dual screen stuff
Speaker 2: that much. And like, like the trim Ui brick is
Speaker 2: the one if somebody just wanted to have a bag. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I like PlayStation on there.
Speaker 1: That screen looks real crispy.
Speaker 11: On the Thor, yeah, exact, And like the reason I
Speaker 11: recommend the retroy Pocket Classic is like I can't think
Speaker 11: of what else you would want from a handle of
Speaker 11: this form factor. And like the Thor, it's really interesting
Speaker 11: because it's one of the first dual screen handhelds and
Speaker 11: they kind of just got everything right.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what more you say.
Speaker 4: I get it.
Speaker 10: I'm in the dual screen DS three D S stuff.
Speaker 4: That's cool.
Speaker 3: But like that second screen is functional in every scene,
Speaker 3: Like I do imagine myself using that device to play
Speaker 3: through RPGs. I would not otherwise play with the guide
Speaker 3: open on the ball screens and stuff.
Speaker 8: So you need to tell me that there's a situation
Speaker 8: where I can play for a game on a like
Speaker 8: that's a PS two game. And then in my little
Speaker 8: screen watch the Devil's Game very very easily.
Speaker 4: The Super East like and it just won't struggle and yeah,
Speaker 4: there you go get it.
Speaker 2: I'm always carrying these things around and I'm always showing
Speaker 2: them to people, and usually it's always like, oh wow,
Speaker 2: that's so cool.
Speaker 3: I think there have been at least four in front
Speaker 3: of me, like, bought it in front of me, Chuck
Speaker 3: used it, bought it ten minutes later.
Speaker 4: What's your offer coat? I gotta go.
Speaker 1: It's actually kirkl No, that's copywritten. Now, Greb, you got
Speaker 1: you're a you're a man with big meaty powers.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I actually haven't held this thing.
Speaker 3: Next we're holding off to uh me to like, Dan's
Speaker 3: gonna show it to me, We're gonna do a video
Speaker 3: or I'm looking at it.
Speaker 4: It looks comfortable to me. I like, Dan, here, look,
Speaker 4: yeah is there.
Speaker 10: We're pretty much the same size, so you find it comfortable?
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean the L one and Our Wonder are a
Speaker 2: little skinny, but like it's not hard to hit. And
Speaker 2: then the L two and R two kind of have
Speaker 2: that like nice analog to it, you know, curb. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's good.
Speaker 1: Nice everybody.
Speaker 8: And there's like different like flavors, there's different size, it's configuration,
Speaker 8: storage configuration.
Speaker 2: There's like a rainbow one that has kind of like
Speaker 2: the s and AS.
Speaker 1: I mean the specs.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's like eight, twelve and sixteen gigs of RAM
Speaker 11: and then like mashing like storage capacities.
Speaker 4: But you can it's got like the second trim from
Speaker 4: the highest.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do want to get that rainbow color one
Speaker 2: with the like SNS or super tram com Button's so sure.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I forget the exact pricing, but it's like I
Speaker 11: believe these standard comes with twelve gigs of RAM and
Speaker 11: it's three hundred, which.
Speaker 4: Chuck got the most expensive one, the biggest one. I
Speaker 4: think he said he was like out the door four
Speaker 4: fifty and that's like overkill.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, it's like a terabyte of storage. And he's
Speaker 1: a freak though. Yeah you know that he just wanted
Speaker 1: to be one and done. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Again, this is like comparable to a very powerful cell phone.
Speaker 11: So like you you can even like thanks to like
Speaker 11: translation layers and stuff, you can even do like low
Speaker 11: end PC gaming. You need to install like Haitis two
Speaker 11: on an Android handout.
Speaker 1: Now it's guys, you sold me okay, sick, thanks gang.
Speaker 1: Do you have any other uh.
Speaker 2: Good as hell.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Catamar is also a real.
Speaker 2: Good which was this one actually called again Once upon
Speaker 2: a Katamari, and it's got a time travel gimmick, which
Speaker 2: is awesome, Like I didn't realize that going in. Oh
Speaker 2: that's great for It's like, okay, we're in at O, Japan,
Speaker 2: then we're going back to the Old West and stuff
Speaker 2: like that, and it's a really good gimmick and it's
Speaker 2: just classic Katamar deeplay. It's just exactly what you went
Speaker 2: from the series and.
Speaker 1: Just real sharp and crispy looking and all that. And
Speaker 1: I do like the updated controls.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, they're a couples I got like a
Speaker 2: boost and yeah, pick up can be like a.
Speaker 8: Mad magnet stuff. Quality of life stuff is a little better,
Speaker 8: I do, you know. For me, I was like, oh,
Speaker 8: dude's gonna love this thing because it's just so weird
Speaker 8: and silly, and he does like that stuff. But the
Speaker 8: whole you know, the King of the Cosmo is just
Speaker 8: like barfing out weird and it's just like I love
Speaker 8: all that ship. But even at some point I'm just like,
Speaker 8: oh my god, let's get on with it. It covers
Speaker 8: the screens just yeah, it's like can you just maybe
Speaker 8: move out.
Speaker 4: I know. I yeah, I don't want him.
Speaker 1: To be a bad father.
Speaker 4: He went to counsel and he's good. Now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like now.
Speaker 1: Arcade game is a streamer now, yeah.
Speaker 2: This is not just like a remake of the No,
Speaker 2: it's a brand game. And it's like definitely like right
Speaker 2: there with the first and second one.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's why I keep here. That makes me excite
Speaker 11: because I love Katemar Games. So I can't wait to
Speaker 11: check this out.
Speaker 8: I realized everyone's like, that's the point. It's supposed to
Speaker 8: piss you off. Like I can still be pissed off
Speaker 8: and talk about that. Yeah, So I mean it's it's
Speaker 8: fun and it's you know, it's it's just why I
Speaker 8: could do. I really enjoy it.
Speaker 1: Mike.
Speaker 10: Did we talk about Out of World's two on last
Speaker 10: week's BombCast.
Speaker 4: Was that still in Bargoed?
Speaker 1: I can't remember it was still in bargo that games.
Speaker 4: I really liked that game a lot.
Speaker 1: On the site that game is as good. I like, No,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I like fall Out, Okay.
Speaker 8: Go on, I meant that I thought you were like
Speaker 8: seast I like, I like Fallout.
Speaker 1: This is a good kind of game in that sort
Speaker 1: of style.
Speaker 7: I'm a little surprised on much people are like, but
Speaker 7: the writings so bad, the characters are good, maybe a
Speaker 7: little bit, I think.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's overblown.
Speaker 7: I don't know if people are maybe just not having
Speaker 7: this caliber of storytelling hit for them as much as
Speaker 7: it hit for them in their twenties.
Speaker 3: I think it's relative. I think people like, oh, the
Speaker 3: writing got so much worse. I'm like, I think you
Speaker 3: have just moved on and that older game was in
Speaker 3: your butter zone.
Speaker 4: That like, I'm not saying it's exactly matching the quality,
Speaker 4: but it's not that different either. It's very similar to
Speaker 4: New Vegas in terms of the kinds of characters that
Speaker 4: I interacted with there, And I've watched like long breakdown
Speaker 4: videos people explaining why New Vegas is so important and
Speaker 4: so good, and it's like you could tell that they're
Speaker 4: emulating that here. And I think that the fact that
Speaker 4: it's an emulation, it is trying to do that again
Speaker 4: is going to necessarily make it hit a little bit
Speaker 4: less hard. I'm having fun with it.
Speaker 3: I think it's a it's a fun game with cool characters,
Speaker 3: and I think that the RPG mechanics of specking into guns,
Speaker 3: and now I have a cool dialogue option because I have.
Speaker 4: One point in guns in this one scenario. Is cool.
Speaker 3: And then I get into the next scenario and I
Speaker 3: don't have that thing, and I could see there was
Speaker 3: an option there. It's all like really well balanced in
Speaker 3: terms of RPG mechanics and writing and dialogue options, and
Speaker 3: it's just it's keeping me going it.
Speaker 4: Also, it runs awesome on a Steam deck, so that's very.
Speaker 1: Easy to play.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I like how comically on the Nose it is.
Speaker 7: It's not a subtle game at all, and that's kind
Speaker 7: of a part of the humor of it. I don't
Speaker 7: want to know if I don't say the charm because
Speaker 7: while the on the nosenes is about horrible late stage
Speaker 7: capitalism and fascism, right, but you know, they are goofy
Speaker 7: characters involved with that, Like that weird guy with the
Speaker 7: top pat it looks like Alice in Wonderland, uh, mixed
Speaker 7: with Willy Wonka character.
Speaker 1: He's kind of a mad hat.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then like look at just just looking at
Speaker 4: this guy is funny. But he sucks, but he funny sucks.
Speaker 4: It's funny how he sucks. That's the funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: The one thing I want to say about that guy specifically,
Speaker 6: and my only little bit of Outer Worlds too that
Speaker 6: I've played, is I shot that guy, killed him dead,
Speaker 6: and the game was like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could do that.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be super difficult to do that, Like you
Speaker 5: gave me a popa.
Speaker 6: It's like you were absolutely allowed to make this decision,
Speaker 6: but the game is going to be so incredibly difficult
Speaker 6: from this point on. And the game has been so
Speaker 6: incredible from this point on. So I appreciate that if
Speaker 6: you thought.
Speaker 7: That that was maybe missing some of that RPG freedom,
Speaker 7: this that you associate with these kind of you know,
Speaker 7: usually bethest the style games. I think a lot more
Speaker 7: that is here. This is a game where you can't
Speaker 7: kind of walk around and discover a lot more things.
Speaker 7: I think the character progressive stuff is neat. I love
Speaker 7: the flaw system where it's like, oh, you've been kind
Speaker 7: of doing a uh, you've been upgrading a lot of
Speaker 7: different stats. How would join to upgrade even more stats?
Speaker 7: But you can never upgrade your highest rankstat. You got
Speaker 7: to always upgrade a lower ranked one. Stuff like that,
Speaker 7: and you don't have to take it because it is
Speaker 7: a there's a plus and there's a minus to it.
Speaker 7: But that stuff just sort of emerging in the game,
Speaker 7: recognizing play styles and trying to kind of encourage you
Speaker 7: to lean.
Speaker 1: Into it at a cost. I think that's interesting.
Speaker 3: I agree that the flaws make the game more interesting.
Speaker 3: I'll say, in defense of people who might maybe are
Speaker 3: critical of the game, that maybe the Fallout vibe, the
Speaker 3: Fallout shell is a little bit good at couching, a
Speaker 3: little bit better at couching that that sarcastic writing, and
Speaker 3: this feels somewhere somewhere in between, you know, the mass
Speaker 3: effects and fall it's clearly more Fallout than anything else,
Speaker 3: but it's like, you know, it's got a little bit
Speaker 3: of Star Trek and all that stuff.
Speaker 10: It feels like maybe it could have been a little
Speaker 10: bit more earnest, and yet.
Speaker 3: It's it's just still Fallout in terms of that tone,
Speaker 3: and it may be pulling that tone off in that
Speaker 3: setting is a little bit hard.
Speaker 4: Wonder if it's a little bit of a Silicon Valley
Speaker 4: Uncanny Valley where yeah, yeah, it is.
Speaker 1: It is so much like Fallout and just not quite
Speaker 1: follow that.
Speaker 7: It's like, boy, you almost wish that they just made
Speaker 7: a fall up game, or maybe they differentiated it even more.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly, and the word we're talking about outer
Speaker 4: worlds too for people key basking now.
Speaker 6: I also think the the opening of Outer World's Two
Speaker 6: Hams it up a little bit, maybe too much, and
Speaker 6: then once you kind of get past that initial part,
Speaker 6: I feel like that game rides a pretty straight line.
Speaker 6: That's not It's like the writing's not too in your face,
Speaker 6: Like they definitely tone it back a little bit.
Speaker 5: The opening is a little a little much for me,
Speaker 5: but yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Get it, Dan, Are you playing it?
Speaker 4: Yeah? No, I think that is one that I don't know.
Speaker 2: There's just so many games right now, and there's just
Speaker 2: a lot between you know, Katamaram early on Simulator I
Speaker 2: just started and I know I'm gonna love that, sure,
Speaker 2: still trying to finish up Ghost to Yota. There's just
Speaker 2: I feel like there's like five or six games I'm
Speaker 2: actively in right now, yecause I'm constantly doing this juggling
Speaker 2: act of playing everything I want to talk about for
Speaker 2: Game of the Year. I look at that, I'm like,
Speaker 2: I don't really see that crack in my top ten
Speaker 2: really or being real like i'd like to get to it.
Speaker 2: I really like the first a lot I loved about
Speaker 2: I loved that Aout could be on my top gay.
Speaker 7: And normally I would expect you to like the game
Speaker 7: with guns more than the game with swords and magic.
Speaker 2: I know me too, but I Avout really got me,
Speaker 2: and uh, I don't know. I'm just not seeing a
Speaker 2: lot of passion for for Outer World too. I will
Speaker 2: get to it, but it's definitely not a priority right now.
Speaker 1: And you said it performs real well on Steam Day.
Speaker 8: Everyone's great on so I'm sure it probably does well
Speaker 8: on the Oh yeah, it's gonna better on it else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: I didn't travel with the ally, and that's like, despite
Speaker 2: all the issues I've had with it, once it's working
Speaker 2: on it's working and I got the full screen experience
Speaker 2: thing working fine, Still applicational weirdness, but like when it's working,
Speaker 2: I really do like that.
Speaker 8: Then every now and then that thing will just be
Speaker 8: like I don't want to work today, which is like risky.

Speaker 3: first game.
Speaker 7: It explains everything you need to know if you remember
Speaker 7: some more for the first game. It's nice, but no,

Speaker 3: Sean said, you saw some stuff with like some of
Speaker 3: the polygons of the world, the actual geometry has been
Speaker 3: removed in certain spots some of the original designers, so like,
Speaker 3: this is strange, strange, There's a reason this was there.
Speaker 4: So it's gonna kind of mess up the flow of
Speaker 4: the design.
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, I hope they're thinking about that and
Speaker 3: not just kind of making changes willy nilly. So that
Speaker 3: game's not out until next year, they're gonna have time to.
