I 154 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.480 think that's for me. I both in that like d 155 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:05.360 Tier holidays exactly. 156 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.120 Yeah, it's not even a holiday, that's t Tier right. 157 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:12.680 Yeah, they're just days. It's Saint Patrick's Day, you get 158 00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:16.639 your time off federal no. No, but it's more of 159 00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.560 a real holiday than ground between. Yeah, the Groundog Day 160 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.199 is not a real holiday. No, of course, not Valentine's Day. 161 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:24.720 That's all. 162 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.319 Well, it's not Allentime's Day, Saint Patrick's Day, these are 163 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.199 like old Catholic holidays that we've kind that certain cultures 164 00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.960 have adopted, or you know Hallmark. 165 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:34.879 I think St. 166 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:37.279 Patrick's. They are on the same tier for sure, like 167 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:40.559 you know that top like your Halloweens and Christmases, and 168 00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:42.919 you can maybe throw Eastern Thanksgiving in there, like those 169 00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:43.440 are the four. 170 00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:47.039 I don't count Easter because Easter always falls on a Sunday, 171 00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:49.600 and a holiday can be a weekend because. 172 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:52.039 So when you go to Catholic school, Easter you get 173 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:55.120 like a fucking week off.

Was that the last Supper day? 192 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:49.919 That's good Thursday? 193 00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:53.840 And I'm with I'm with three good Catholic boys right now. Right, 194 00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:55.320 you all grew up Catholic one way or the other. 195 00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:56.000 Catholic. 196 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:57.000 Yeah, yeah, part time. 197 00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:00.600 Now, do you know how they determined when Easter is? 198 00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:01.480 Any of you? 199 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:06.559 The Easter calendar, the Easter candle, the big one. 200 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.799 Good guess. But no, uh, fine, you guys have any 201 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:14.720 idea something to do with like the moon. It is 202 00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:16.559 the moon, I'm guessing. 203 00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.080 Guess at some point in the Bible they must say 204 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:20.960 something about what the moon looks like, so like, well 205 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:23.840 it's gotta it's got to happen when the moon looks 206 00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:26.000 like that. Again, No, they just they decided this long 207 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:27.960 after the Bible was right, and that ship They're like, 208 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.399 we got to standardize this ship. It's the first Sunday 209 00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:34.360 after the full moon that occurs on or after the 210 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:38.759 spring equinox. They knew how to do that back then. 211 00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:41.159 You know, they know how to do that. 212 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.200 That's how they created religion. Like, we know when the 213 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:45.080 moon and the stars are going to move, so you 214 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:46.799 have to trust us because God told us these things. 215 00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:48.159 And how far ahead of time do they know when 216 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:49.240 the full moon is gonna lie? 217 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:52.279 They know everyone knows when they keep track of this stuff, 218 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:53.440 they know when the full moon is going to happen 219 00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:54.639 for years and years and years. 220 00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:00.639 Well yeah, you mean, now I've never thought of this, 221 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:04.879 but it's crazy to predict how far they could do 222 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:08.559 this in five thousand years ago. They could do this 223 00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:14.279 with accuracy. Yes, it's just patterns dance, it seems mm hmm. 224 00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:16.440 Do you think the moon just decides each day on 225 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:18.840 a random right what it's going to do. You've not 226 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:20.879 noticed the waxing and the waning. 227 00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:23.360 I mean, I know it does it at a certain 228 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:26.720 order like this, then it's this, and it's probably a 229 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:30.360 predictable time frame that it stays at each one. Yeah, 230 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.080 about what's a month it turns out? 231 00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:35.879 Yeah, like like like it goes on a cycle every year, 232 00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:40.320 once a month, it's a new once a month of time. 233 00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:42.559 About about Okay. 234 00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:45.840 The Gregorian calendar isn't perfect. I really appreciate you taking 235 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.120 that heat off me so fast after the April Fool's 236 00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:53.200 Day thing. Thanks buddy, I'm here for you. But blue moon. 237 00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:55.159 A blue moon is when there's two full moons in 238 00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:56.120 a month.

Okay, Okay, people say I did last 369 00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:39.319 week last week, Dan, a week ago, look at this? Yeah? 370 00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:41.319 All right? Really?

I won't bore everyone 379 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:04.640 again with it. 380 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.200 I have the same thought. Okay, I remember when I 381 00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:10.799 saw it here. My first reaction was grunt again. Okay, 382 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:14.359 all right, Hey, Mikey talked to pepper Day. What's every day? 383 00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:21.079 Of course it is? Yeah, yeah, all right, doctor pepper Day. 384 00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:24.400 I'm not a fool only because I'm a man. I 385 00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:27.920 don't go down diets for women that you needed to know. 386 00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:31.519 But that's why zero exists. That's why zero guys didn't 387 00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:33.960 want to drink diet stuff and seem like ladies. You're 388 00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.640 missing out of the ten manly categories that doctor Pepper 389 00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:38.960 ten used to have, though I know that was the third. 390 00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:41.640 That was a third spinoff thing there particularly a woman 391 00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:42.359 or a gang. 392 00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:44.759 Now, no, that's you. 393 00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:45.519 I'm drinking zero. 394 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:49.559 I'm like, I wish we got a clean, clean read 395 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:49.799 of that. 396 00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:52.200 We'll get We'll have the ice. 397 00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:57.720 Don't worry, so, uh mister ten manly categories?

I hope you're enjoying this anyway. Jeff Grub 406 00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:30.519 before the Royal Rumble, I decided to stream Disco Elysium, 407 00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:33.039 but it was made known to me before that you 408 00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.000 streamed Grim Fandango. I did, Yes. 409 00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:39.119 I started Grim Fandango as part of my punishment as 410 00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:43.759 given to me by the winner of Bowser's Hurry Mike Manatti. Uh, 411 00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:46.680 And I'm having fun it is. It's a good, good 412 00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:50.200 game so far it is. I have don't have a 413 00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:52.519 lot of history with point and click adventures, especially from 414 00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:54.400 this time, but I've always like, like a lot of 415 00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:55.759 stuff that I don't have history with. I'm like, I 416 00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:58.119 see them afar, I'm like, I should spend time with it. 417 00:20:58.160 --> 00:21:00.759 And Grim Pandango always heard at the time, very good game. 418 00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:03.880 Remember meeting Mike early on and that for every time 419 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:05.359 you would talk about games, this is my favorite game. 420 00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:07.119 Grim fan Dang, I'm like, okay, one day I will 421 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:10.480 check this out. And so getting into it and playing 422 00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:12.680 the remaster on PC, I just had some slight technical 423 00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:14.799 issues where the cut scenes would flicker. I fixed that 424 00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:17.519 I had to uninstall my display drivers and reinstall them. 425 00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:20.160 But the game itself is it's just really solid. 426 00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:21.440 I just had to like get in the mindset of 427 00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:23.839 how these games work, of oh, this is not an 428 00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:26.079 RPG where I'm just choosing my own path. I'm like, 429 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:29.920 I am supposed to click through every dialogue option and 430 00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:32.920 hear everything every character has to say. And I'm like, Okay, 431 00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:35.079 now that I know that this game, it clicked into 432 00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:37.519 place immediately, I can kind of figure out I will 433 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:42.240 be I'll be giving a general task or or an obstacle, 434 00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:44.079 and then I will have to figure out how to 435 00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:45.119 get around that using the. 436 00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:48.359 Stuff available to me. Now it is very up to 437 00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:49.960 the puzzles. 438 00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:51.880 I am going to just look these things up. That's 439 00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:54.440 what everyone recommends. And so the fun of this game 440 00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:57.000 does come from getting to talk to these characters, the 441 00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:59.920 good writing, the good voice acting, the actual. 442 00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:01.440 Really incredible world design. 443 00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:03.400 You know, it's the Day of the Dead Dead for 444 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:05.480 people that don't know, which I think is today as well. 445 00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:08.839 You know it happens right around at the same time 446 00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:11.880 as April Fools Down. Oh yeah, so yeah, I'm really 447 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:13.640 enjoying it. I'm glad, I'm I'm glad I'm playing it. 448 00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:15.519 I played about the first hour and a half because 449 00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:17.200 I wanted to stop so I could fix things. But 450 00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:19.480 now that I'm I'm up and running, I'm probably gonna 451 00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:21.160 get through a lot of it the next time I stream, 452 00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:22.880 which at the latest will be Saturday. 453 00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:23.279 Yeah. 454 00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:26.000 I tuned in and it was like perfect timing, because 455 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:27.559 you know, I think my experience of those type of 456 00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:30.880 games mirror errors and that, like, you know, people really. 457 00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:31.960 Respect them and love them. 458 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:34.400 You know, Bianca loves those games and everything, and like 459 00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:36.920 I just like I've always been like I should this 460 00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:41.200 should be in my rolodex of game memories. But then 461 00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:43.160 tuning into you, and the first thing I see is 462 00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:47.160 you're next to something some do hickey and you're just 463 00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:50.400 clicking everything that can't pick that up, can't pick that up, 464 00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:52.240 can't pick that up. And then you're like, what do 465 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:52.759 you want me to do? 466 00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:54.279 Game? What do you want me to do? And eventually 467 00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:57.279 you had like three whole punch of playing card and 468 00:22:57.440 --> 00:22:59.720 put it into a pneumatic tube and you were like, 469 00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:02.680 why would I have known that? And that's why we 470 00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:04.559 would like no, and no one. 471 00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:06.960 Knew it right, and let's like, you know, some fans 472 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:09.079 of the game in chat were saying you were supposed 473 00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:10.839 to just like get lost in these games for weeks 474 00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:13.160 and figure it out on your own by eventually trying 475 00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:17.359 every combination everywhere, and it's like, okay, maybe you did 476 00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:19.200 it that way, but I can't imagine most people will 477 00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:19.519 just have. 478 00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:21.200 To do that, or like back in the day, call 479 00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:25.880 the Lucas Arts hotline and me and Jeane tells you tips. Yeah, 480 00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:28.200 that kind of thing. So you know, the way to 481 00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:30.200 do it is you do kind of explore and make 482 00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:32.400 sure you go to every area see what you can do, 483 00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:34.119 and then you know when you're as soon as you 484 00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:37.160 are stuck, instead of getting frustrated, Yeah, you just go 485 00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:38.680 and look up what to do. I mean that's what 486 00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:40.359 I did probably the first time I played this game 487 00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:43.799 in nineteen ninety eight. We still had game facts, you know, 488 00:23:43.880 --> 00:23:45.680 and at certain point it kind of doesn't matter. You 489 00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:47.400 take the wins that you can get and then you 490 00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:49.240 get the help where you can't. So many of these games, 491 00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:51.720 I forget this one. Did they just add in game 492 00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:54.160 hints some of them? Also, Again I don't think this 493 00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:56.480 one does. We'll just highlight the actual objects that are 494 00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:00.799 interactable and that's nice too, But still of Fandango is 495 00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:01.759 just such a special game. 496 00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:02.480 But what I want. 497 00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:05.640 I watch your vod, Jeff, and it's still just looking 498 00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:07.279 at I'm like, man, there are very many games like this. 499 00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:10.480 This is just such a unique, different vibe and it 500 00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:12.480 was fun seeing you kind of like, just get used 501 00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:14.839 to this kind of game, which I'm super familiar with, 502 00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:17.759 Like you know you're talking about you know it's not 503 00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:21.200 an RPG, and you have dialogue options, and you know 504 00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:22.880 you might be trained, like, oh, so, how do I 505 00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:25.279 want my Manny Calavera to speak? 506 00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:25.680 What is he? 507 00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:26.079 Like? 508 00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:27.799 Like, No, Manny is Manny. 509 00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:30.440 He's going to always be that character you need to 510 00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:31.920 say all these things, like you want to talk to 511 00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:35.079 Glottis for the first time, and you used every dialogue 512 00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:38.000 option but the one you needed to profess the story 513 00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:40.920 and left, and I was watching the vod. I was like, oh, 514 00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:41.839 I don't know if I could take this. 515 00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:47.160 I definitely noticed a vibe shift in chat when I 516 00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:48.839 did that, and I'm like, I think I know what 517 00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:49.480 happened here. 518 00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:51.599 I think I'm playing this game wrong. I will get 519 00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:53.839 back there and we'll continue because it was I had 520 00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:56.000 to just kind of learn what this game was trying 521 00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:56.160 to do. 522 00:24:56.920 --> 00:24:59.200 But now that I have it, and really that pretty 523 00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:02.759 whole punch thing on the card thing that is instructive, 524 00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:04.880 it's like, oh, if I have something in my inventory 525 00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:06.640 and then there is something I can interact with in 526 00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:09.839 the world, I should probably be like messing around and 527 00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:12.079 trying everything with all of these devices. Now again, I 528 00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:13.799 probably won't do that a ton. I will just let 529 00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:16.519 chat help me, and so far that's been an ideal 530 00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:17.039 way to play. 531 00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:18.359 I want to try to be there live on the 532 00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:21.119 next one because like I can Nudgjoe Well. 533 00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:24.079 Yep, mikey. I'm also a novice when it comes to 534 00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:26.640 these games, and I've been curious about the adventure games. 535 00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:30.440 In your opinion, which should I go with? First, Grim 536 00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:34.039 Fan Dango, Day of the Tentacle Escape from Monkey Island. 537 00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:36.799 Well, before you say, they not escape from Monkey Island, right, 538 00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:40.359 and a modern things is rough Anyways, Day the Tentacle 539 00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:43.240 for sure, because they had the remaster. That's a very 540 00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:47.160 funny game. It has some fun time travel stuff, great characters. 541 00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:49.400 That was actually like, that's a very important game for me, 542 00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:51.599 because that was the first one of these that I 543 00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:54.440 ever got. We were just at a software et cetera, 544 00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:57.200 back when there used to be one inside Barnes and Noble, 545 00:25:57.839 --> 00:25:59.960 and but that's like, you guys can get a PC game. 546 00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:02.759 I just literally went by the box. I like, this 547 00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:06.200 looks like a cartoon. That's that's interesting, that's me. It 548 00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:08.920 didn't really know what it was about. And I played 549 00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:10.640 that and loved it, and I think it had a 550 00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:13.000 demo disc for Crysal Monkey Allen at the time. And 551 00:26:13.079 --> 00:26:14.839 then I just fell down this rabbit hole and it 552 00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:17.079 was kind of like it honestly was the moment where 553 00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:18.640 I went from being a kid who like you know, 554 00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:21.559 writes video games a lot, to like, oh, I like 555 00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:24.559 this game so much, and I'm discovering online communities and 556 00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:29.160 IRC channels and I made my own website hosted on tripod. Right, 557 00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:31.319 it was like a big like, oh, like this is yeah, 558 00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:33.400 I like gaming a lot. This is kind of a 559 00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:36.200 part of the you know who I am now and whatnot. 560 00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:39.920 So yeah, Day of the Tentacle is still fantastic. Griffin 561 00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:43.039 Dangles kind of the pinnacle of what LucasArts was doing, 562 00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:46.200 and it takes itself seriously in a way that Data 563 00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:48.480 Tacle doesn't, of course, so it can sometimes feel like 564 00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:52.759 a quote more important game, But they're all fantastic, Greb. 565 00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:54.920 The other thing that sent me when I'm watching you, 566 00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:59.119 I didn't realize that they added mouse controls to the remaster. 567 00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:02.079 You know, this was a originally a take control game, 568 00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:06.400 Grim Findango Really huh Okay, Yeah, I wonder if I 569 00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:08.000 could play it that way just to try and see 570 00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:10.039 what it was. I'm sure you can't, because there's actually 571 00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:12.599 still an achievement that Tim Schaeffer insisted be there that 572 00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:15.000 you get if you play the game would take control. Still, 573 00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:17.359 I think it's like the intended way or something. 574 00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:18.359 It's what it's called. 575 00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:22.200 Okay, that's fun good consoles, it's just like full analog 576 00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:25.480 control instead. But yeah, it's the that they added classic 577 00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:26.960 point and click for it. Yeah, this was like a 578 00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:27.640 PS four game. 579 00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:30.279 That's like when I remember seeing it at the PlayStation 580 00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:33.079 Experience and they like had like a whole stand there 581 00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:34.240 for it, and I'm like, I'm going to play this 582 00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:36.839 game now that's remastered, And of course I didn't, but 583 00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:38.519 I'm like, yeah, I works on ConTroll er. 584 00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:40.119 How's the point and click going to work on that. 585 00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:42.240 So it's like, oh, okay, now of course it was 586 00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:44.440 always meant to be played that way. All right, cool, 587 00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:45.160 I'll give that a shot. 588 00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:48.279 Speaking about punishments, Dan, you've completed yours. 589 00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:53.559 Yeah, a lot more to say about it other than yeah, 590 00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:55.160 now that it's done, sow credits. 591 00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:56.000 Really enjoyed it. 592 00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:00.119 Mike was dead on with his punishment there, and it's 593 00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:01.880 one that if I would have played back then I 594 00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:05.440 would probably be uh a soapboxing for like Mike does. 595 00:28:05.519 --> 00:28:06.519 So yeah, I get it. 596 00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:07.160 It's very fun. 597 00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:09.960 It's good stuff. They need to make a new one. 598 00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:11.799 I would love a new one. That'd be great. 599 00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:14.279 I kind of like this idea of punishments and just 600 00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:16.839 just seeking that out in your own time. Mike, I 601 00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:19.799 think you should give out more punishments, Okay, make more 602 00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:21.559 contests that I could win and will. We should do 603 00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:23.079 more things like the punishment thing. 604 00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:23.640 I like that a lot. 605 00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:27.440 Yeah, it's a good stake to have, and when we 606 00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:28.759 do these things for Yeah. 607 00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:31.960 I want to make you guys play syops oh. 608 00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:35.720 I yes, yeah, I played that demo so much. 609 00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:38.839 Just the room where you can just spawn in Scientists 610 00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:41.799 and random physics and wrecking balls and just fucking just 611 00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:43.079 murder people all you want. 612 00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:45.920 It so much fun just throwing a box and then 613 00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:48.200 like riding like the box lid and throwing that oh 614 00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:48.880 yeah good. 615 00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:50.839 Yeah, and habiting some bad guys brain make them jump 616 00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:51.880 off a cliff. Yeah, it's great. 617 00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:56.559 Games could have been so so cool. Speaking about super 618 00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:00.480 cool games, Mike Minatti, you have been playing a cool game, 619 00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:04.400 Vampire Survivors, but you've checked out ode to Castlevania. 620 00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:07.400 Yeah. So we did our Best to Music of twenty 621 00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:10.039 twenty four episode and there was a bunch of just 622 00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:12.799 the remixed Castlevania songs that they put in this in there. 623 00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:15.279 I was just listening to that. I's like, man, why 624 00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:17.480 am I not playing this DLC? It's probably like three 625 00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:20.920 bucks or something. I never got the game on switch. 626 00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:23.200 I'll just buy that also still really cheap. 627 00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:23.720 You know. 628 00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:25.839 I like Vampire Survivors. I never liked it quite as 629 00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:28.039 much as maybe like you guys did some other people. 630 00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:31.359 I tell you what, You're throwing all that Castlevania stuff 631 00:29:31.440 --> 00:29:34.160 in there, and it's neat because the Castlevania level it's 632 00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:36.440 not just oh like you know, we put a Castlevania 633 00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:39.599 tile set here. You go inside the castle, you fight 634 00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:42.920 the bosses. There's even a two D section all of 635 00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:45.079 a sudden, at one point there's a couple of them. Yeah. 636 00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:47.839 Yeah, there's like a dozen plus bosses, it feels like, 637 00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:49.400 and then the other's parts where you go it's like, oh, 638 00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:51.920 it's the Doppelganger fight. Now it's just two D controls, 639 00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:56.240 and yeah, it's really really cool. It's really neat. You know, 640 00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:58.839 I love Castlevania. I love the metro videas, I love 641 00:29:58.880 --> 00:30:01.799 the classic Castlevania's. There's so many characters to unlock. 642 00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:05.079 I just got the first one so far with Leon 643 00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:08.279 belmont Right, and I'm so excited. It's great because it's 644 00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:10.920 not just you know, like the big hits, it's not 645 00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:14.519 just Trevor Simon al Lucar. There's a ton of characters 646 00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:18.160 across all these games, even the unpopular ones. That's awesome. 647 00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:21.279 Mike, you have to whatever you think the limit of 648 00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:24.759 that is is not the limit. There are so many 649 00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:25.759 characters in that game. 650 00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:28.519 Yeah, so I think I'm going to Honestly, I see 651 00:30:28.559 --> 00:30:31.680 myself getting into this even more than I got into 652 00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:34.000 the base game. Especially, you know, I was playing a 653 00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:37.279 lot of RPGs. Then I played Donkey Kong. I forgot 654 00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:40.599 to throw it on there. I beat Echoes of Wisdom, 655 00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:43.599 and that's why I sort of started this before starting 656 00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:45.839 my next kind of big game, which is probably gonna 657 00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:49.160 be Tales of Grace's f but I want to do 658 00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:52.079 something a little bit more chill first. Echoes Wisdom, by 659 00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:54.759 the way, very good game. Glad I went back and 660 00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:58.240 finished that, wrapped it up. It kind of only got better. 661 00:30:58.599 --> 00:31:01.279 Really good boss fights a big highlight of the whole 662 00:31:01.279 --> 00:31:03.200 experience for me. So yeah, I liked that a lot. 663 00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:07.279 I completely forgot about Echoes of Wisdom completely. 664 00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:08.920 I always did. 665 00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:11.039 That's why I'm glad. Like I was like, no, I 666 00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:11.839 want to go back to that. 667 00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:13.519 If I go back to it now, I can go 668 00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:15.240 back to it, and I could jump back in. If 669 00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:17.680 I wait too much longer, it may never happen. So 670 00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:19.000 I'm glad I did it when I did. 671 00:31:20.039 --> 00:31:24.279 Speaking about jumping in, you dove headfirst like Manatti into 672 00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:29.759 SpongeBob SquarePants Battle for Bikini Bottom rehydrated Are you ready? 673 00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:30.319 Fuck us? 674 00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:32.920 Whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa that's. 675 00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:42.079 A kid, I can't hear, Like, oh yeah, so kind 676 00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:43.359 of a similar thing where I was looking for a 677 00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:46.160 change of pace. I actually finished Dark Soul three and 678 00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:49.119 that was fantastic. That was my stream game, and I 679 00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:51.279 was like, Okay, I want to stream something else. Definitely 680 00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:53.680 need a different vibe right now. I was definitely in 681 00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:56.400 the mood for a three D platformer, and I've always 682 00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:59.319 wanted to play Battle for Bikini Bottom. I always heard 683 00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:03.960 things about it. So the rehydrated version, which is that 684 00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:06.160 update that came out a couple of years ago or so, 685 00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:08.640 that's on game Pass. So I was all right, this 686 00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:12.519 is easy, just pop that thing in. It is great. Actually, 687 00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:16.680 it's eas even with everybody talking about how it's surprisingly good. 688 00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:21.200 My big takeaway still, this is surprisingly good, right, Like 689 00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:22.680 the SpongeBob stuff is great. 690 00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:25.359 Because it was made for like the game Cuban stuff 691 00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:27.119 when this show was at its height. 692 00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:31.279 But yeah, the platform kicks. It's kind of like a 693 00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:33.759 better Donkey Kong sixty four, like he has some of 694 00:32:33.839 --> 00:32:38.960 that character swapping stuff. It's mostly a collectithon with, you know, 695 00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:42.519 just some solid platform mechanics. You get some new abilities 696 00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:45.039 here and there. The levels themselves all have a good 697 00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:49.440 variety two and you're like, you know, Downtown Bikini Bottom. 698 00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:52.680 You're in the mermaid Man's Lair stuff like that. You 699 00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:54.720 have the hub world and you know, even just being 700 00:32:54.839 --> 00:32:57.079 like able to go into places like the Krusty Krab 701 00:32:57.279 --> 00:32:58.920 you go inside Patrick's house. Like. 702 00:32:59.000 --> 00:32:59.839 It does a good job in the. 703 00:32:59.799 --> 00:33:02.440 Fan service front. But then is a three D platformer. 704 00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:06.640 It feels really good. It's very precise, all the mechanics 705 00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:10.319 are nice. Yeah, just surprisingly a very chill and fun 706 00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:13.079 play through. And it's not like you know, oh licensed 707 00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:15.720 kids game, super easy and boring, right, It's it's kind 708 00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:18.240 of astro bought in terms of difficulty. It never gets 709 00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:20.279 too hard, and then towards the end though, you have 710 00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:22.200 some nice more challenging areas that. 711 00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:25.039 Can maybe give you a bit more of a of 712 00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:27.880 a good struggle there. Yeah, liking this. 713 00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:30.440 One a lot. I did you You were there when 714 00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:32.039 I was playing that Patrick Star game, right. 715 00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:32.359 I was. 716 00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:34.000 I think that's part of what made me think of it. 717 00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:36.759 And that game looks more like Goats simulator, right, Yes, 718 00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:37.079 that one. 719 00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:39.720 That one's definitely much more like chaotic and like you 720 00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:42.119 can make Patrick Starr flop over and and and then 721 00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:43.920 he'll just roll around like an idiot and stuff, and 722 00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:46.160 that's really fun. And then like it's all pretty dense, 723 00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:49.119 Like every two feet there's another land that has like 724 00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:50.759 this one is a roller coaster in it, and this 725 00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:53.359 one has a bunch of cars you can take, and 726 00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:55.799 it's kind of just seems like, hey, just go have fun. 727 00:33:56.319 --> 00:33:59.400 But beginning bottoms just straight up a real shoot platform. 728 00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:01.839 So that's cool that that still holds up here. 729 00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:04.359 It is, and it's definitely doing the Mario sixty four formula. 730 00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:07.400 Like the thing here's the golden Spatula's right, and in 731 00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:09.800 each level there's so many of them and just kind 732 00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:11.880 of like the main one, you know, right, it's kind 733 00:34:11.880 --> 00:34:15.079 of like Mario Odyssey code that way, which sounds insane. 734 00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:17.000 You kind of follow a main path to get to 735 00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:19.800 that the main spatul, but on the way there's other ones. 736 00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:22.119 Then there's things kind of like the blue coins of 737 00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:25.840 Mario Sunshine. You can find Patrick Socks. For every ten 738 00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:28.760 of those that you get, you can get a golden spatula, 739 00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:30.920 And it's like, yeah, there's you know, new levels are 740 00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:32.880 gated by how many spatulas you have. Then you can 741 00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:34.719 get to a whole different section of the hub world. 742 00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:36.840 If you have so many of them, then I'm kind 743 00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:38.719 of at the point now where I need seventy five 744 00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:41.280 so I can get back into the chum bucket and 745 00:34:41.360 --> 00:34:44.639 defeat Plankton or whatever. So that's just such a good 746 00:34:44.679 --> 00:34:46.960 formula for these things. I always love the idea that 747 00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:49.239 I can wander around in a world until I sort 748 00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:51.599 of want to move on, because there's probably just something 749 00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:53.880 else I could do for a while instead, And if 750 00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:55.880 I was so inclined, and I probably wouldn't be, you know, 751 00:34:55.960 --> 00:34:57.800 it can be fun to go back and one hundred 752 00:34:57.800 --> 00:34:59.960 percent in and go and collect every single little thing. 753 00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:02.920 That's gotta be one I should try out. And I've 754 00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:04.360 thought about for a while, just like I don't really 755 00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:06.519 know SpongeBob at all, but just like a fun platformer, 756 00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:08.760 you know, there's not many of those, and you can 757 00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:12.159 play on modern platforms and stuff I need to Yeah, yeah, 758 00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:12.719 you came. 759 00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:14.199 Up specifically during my stream because it was like, what 760 00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:16.519 Dan like this because he doesn't really know SpongeBob, and 761 00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:18.800 I'm like, I'm not like some giant SpongeBob guy. I 762 00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:21.599 definitely have some Nostalgjian affinity for it. 763 00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:23.159 I just had it on the background where my kids 764 00:35:23.199 --> 00:35:25.199 are watching it constantly, and yet I'm like I enjoy 765 00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:26.679 the SpongeBob nests of these games. 766 00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:28.880 I've never seen it, but like every single thing I've 767 00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:31.519 heard about it is like, oh, okay, I was a 768 00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:32.199 huge ren. 769 00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:34.159 And stimpy kid, and this seems to me in that 770 00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:35.320 it's the special success. 771 00:35:35.559 --> 00:35:35.760 Yeah. 772 00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:37.639 I think if I was a little younger, I think 773 00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:39.400 I would have loved spongeob. 774 00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:41.119 It's a funny show.

I have a code for this that I've 840 00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:39.159 yet to check out, and perhaps we will check this 841 00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:41.320 out together in the website and I could use the 842 00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:44.400 expertise of one Mike Minatti and Jeff Grubb to guide 843 00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:46.280 me through Civilization seven. 844 00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:48.880 Why did you Civilization was a funny game? 845 00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:54.159 Aren't some of them funny? No? Not not at all. 846 00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:56.199 Aren't there some games that are funny? 847 00:38:56.400 --> 00:38:59.239 I don't think humor is it? I mean sometimes it's 848 00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:02.039 been funny when like Gandhi nukes you because you know 849 00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:06.480 that happens, But they're not comedies. Sid Meyers Pirates is 850 00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:09.480 a little funny. Hm, that's a close. That's a little 851 00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:11.760 bit of a goof There's not much goofing around in them, 852 00:39:11.880 --> 00:39:13.320 especially the recess game. 853 00:39:14.039 --> 00:39:16.960 I've played more Sid Meyers Pirates than any Civilization game. 854 00:39:17.320 --> 00:39:20.280 That's fine. Sid Myers Pirates is a perfect video rules. 855 00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:20.800 I love that. 856 00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:22.960 Well, it's funny. How I got that wrong? 857 00:39:23.119 --> 00:39:28.559 Then, Mike, Civilization seven is is pretty solid for a 858 00:39:28.719 --> 00:39:32.880 new civilization game. These games are notorious for releasing and 859 00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:35.639 disappointing their fan base because it takes time for them 860 00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:37.039 to like kind of get in a good spot where 861 00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:40.440 by kind of patching up the new systems so that 862 00:39:40.519 --> 00:39:44.039 they work better, and then improving them vastly with expansions 863 00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:46.199 to the point where like everyone looks back on the 864 00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:48.719 old SID games and says, oh, man, wasn't that so good? 865 00:39:48.760 --> 00:39:51.000 And they were remembering the very last version of the 866 00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:52.760 game that had all the stuff and all the all 867 00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:54.599 the tweaks and all the improvements. 868 00:39:55.559 --> 00:39:57.440 So for a game that is in this. 869 00:39:57.639 --> 00:39:59.880 Early state, you know it's out though you can it's 870 00:39:59.880 --> 00:40:01.519 a well, it's going to be out later this week. 871 00:40:01.559 --> 00:40:03.840 You could buy it for extra money right now, I think. 872 00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:06.679 But for again, it's like not presenting itself as early 873 00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:08.880 access but still has that SIV baggage. 874 00:40:09.239 --> 00:40:11.559 It is very solid. It does a lot of the 875 00:40:11.599 --> 00:40:12.840 basic stuff very well. 876 00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:16.719 There are some newer systems, at least I didn't play 877 00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:19.679 a ton of Sieve six, but the city management and 878 00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:22.880 the optimization of the cities I think is very well 879 00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:27.280 done and rewarding where each city can it continues to 880 00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:29.119 grow the entire time, and each time. 881 00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:32.599 It grows, you will choose which sell to grow, and you. 882 00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:34.239 Can you know, a lot of times you're like, oh, 883 00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:35.280 I just want to get the thing that has the 884 00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:38.639 most output of resources that I need. But you can 885 00:40:38.679 --> 00:40:40.760 start to like make some decisions about, Okay, do I 886 00:40:40.800 --> 00:40:42.400 want to be growing or do I want to be 887 00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:46.960 taking advantage of building more people into the cities, because 888 00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:49.800 that actually uses up more resources than giving me resources. 889 00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:51.760 But it gets me like one specific thing I need 890 00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:55.480 to accomplish, an overarching goal that I'm trying to accomplish 891 00:40:55.519 --> 00:40:58.039 accomplish as a civilization, which leads into the other half 892 00:40:58.039 --> 00:41:00.360 of what's going on in CIV seven, which is it 893 00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:02.320 happens in these three sections. 894 00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:02.719 There's the. 895 00:41:04.199 --> 00:41:07.159 Era of antiquity, there's like the classical era, I think 896 00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:09.239 it's called, and then the modern era. And so these 897 00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:11.159 are like periods in a hockey game where it's like 898 00:41:11.239 --> 00:41:14.400 you are going to try to win each period and 899 00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:17.360 you're going to get a specific goal to accomplish during 900 00:41:17.400 --> 00:41:20.719 that period. So during my era of antiquity, my goal 901 00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:23.400 with my civilization was I'm going to be the civilization 902 00:41:23.480 --> 00:41:27.360 that builds the most modern or excuse me, wonders of 903 00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:30.559 the world. So if I could build ten before anyone 904 00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:32.760 else does, the era will end and I will be 905 00:41:33.280 --> 00:41:34.800 declared the winner of it, and then I will be 906 00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:37.360 able to take extra bonuses with me to the next era. 907 00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:39.880 That sort of resets things a little bit so that 908 00:41:39.960 --> 00:41:41.280 everyone can feel like they're caught up. 909 00:41:41.360 --> 00:41:44.880 Now I'm playing with NPC computer player computer control players, 910 00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:46.280 but still you get the idea of what they're going 911 00:41:46.360 --> 00:41:48.760 for here to keep the thing as interesting as possible 912 00:41:48.840 --> 00:41:51.519 for as long as possible, and I think it mostly 913 00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:53.320 succeeds at that. But I also think that there are 914 00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:57.039 some aspects of the choices that you're making because of 915 00:41:57.119 --> 00:42:00.719 these feeling a little bit railroad roady, where by the 916 00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:03.480 end it's like, Okay, I want to be I want 917 00:42:03.480 --> 00:42:06.360 to win this last period of modern era, and really 918 00:42:06.519 --> 00:42:08.719 I'm good at science, so I'm just going to go 919 00:42:08.760 --> 00:42:10.960 the science routes that means just build like either the 920 00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:15.079 railroads or the space race, and so everything just kind 921 00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:18.119 of becomes a decision to support that. And I feel 922 00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:20.280 like it's not quite as interesting that some late games 923 00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:24.679 are have been in CIV previously. Now the trade off 924 00:42:24.719 --> 00:42:27.760 there is if you were behind, you have a chance 925 00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:29.719 to There's like this is like almost a catchup mechanic 926 00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:31.079 a little bit, and I'm not sure how well it 927 00:42:31.159 --> 00:42:34.239 works as that, because I lost my first game of 928 00:42:34.360 --> 00:42:37.480 Civilization just barely, but I lost, but I did always 929 00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:39.760 feel like I had a chance, I guess. But the 930 00:42:39.800 --> 00:42:41.760 person that was in the lead at the beginning, the 931 00:42:41.960 --> 00:42:44.760 NBC character I was playing against at the beginning, was 932 00:42:44.840 --> 00:42:46.920 the one who won the second round and the third 933 00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:50.119 round and ended up winning the whole game. So if 934 00:42:50.159 --> 00:42:51.480 the goal here was to make me feel like I 935 00:42:51.639 --> 00:42:53.880 always had a chance, I guess. I like looking at it, 936 00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:55.760 I'm like, oh, I'm not only this far behind them, 937 00:42:56.159 --> 00:42:58.880 and they're going for a different path of victory than 938 00:42:58.960 --> 00:43:01.199 I am. So on this path of victory that I'm on, 939 00:43:01.800 --> 00:43:04.360 I'm well ahead, so maybe I can still squeak this out. 940 00:43:05.719 --> 00:43:08.360 All of that kind of just doesn't come together perfectly yet. 941 00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:11.239 It just feels like they have a lot of ideas, 942 00:43:12.039 --> 00:43:14.760 but they're not. It just doesn't like one doesn't fold 943 00:43:14.800 --> 00:43:17.119 into the next in a really satisfying way so far 944 00:43:17.239 --> 00:43:17.480 for me. 945 00:43:18.239 --> 00:43:22.320 So I you know, reviews for this game opens are 946 00:43:22.360 --> 00:43:24.039 kind of a bit all over the place, right, I 947 00:43:24.119 --> 00:43:27.280 think I'm on the more positive side or Positijieff kind 948 00:43:27.280 --> 00:43:29.679 of the counterpoint to that whole like, oh, the Cieve 949 00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:31.400 game comes out and it doesn't have as much stuff 950 00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:33.199 as the last Stiev game, and like I remember this 951 00:43:33.280 --> 00:43:36.800 cycle happening when Sieve six came out. I played Sieve 952 00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:39.000 six again like a month ago because I was excited 953 00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:41.639 for this. I remember thinking, but there's a lot of 954 00:43:41.679 --> 00:43:45.719 stuff in here now, it's kind of too much. Those 955 00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:48.800 games feel bloated to me by the end, after two 956 00:43:48.880 --> 00:43:52.440 expansions and how many updates. I kind of like when 957 00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:56.000 there's a new vanilla release, because there's still a lot 958 00:43:56.039 --> 00:43:58.320 of stuff going on these games. It's enough. And one 959 00:43:58.360 --> 00:44:00.199 of the nice things about the kind of you know 960 00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:03.639 it various bespoke ages is a certain mechanics that maybe 961 00:44:03.719 --> 00:44:06.800 would dominate an entire game and be a whole system 962 00:44:06.880 --> 00:44:09.840 for the whole game, like religion, right, yeah, like as 963 00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:12.400 a constant concern once it was added in SIEV six. 964 00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:15.719 Uh here, that's like a thing you do in the 965 00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:19.079 exploration age one's expiration area, that's what it's called. Yeah, 966 00:44:19.199 --> 00:44:21.199 so that's like that is you know, so if you're 967 00:44:21.239 --> 00:44:25.000 doing like the culture victory, like the first era, that's 968 00:44:25.039 --> 00:44:27.199 when you're mostly worried about world wonders. That's where you 969 00:44:27.239 --> 00:44:29.079 get a lot of bonuses are building that and the 970 00:44:29.159 --> 00:44:32.079 second one it's about the religion stuff, so sending out 971 00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:35.440 missionaries trying to convert people, and then in the modern age. 972 00:44:35.559 --> 00:44:37.719 The culture thing that you really want to be doing 973 00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:40.639 is archaeologists and museums, that kind of thing. So I 974 00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:42.880 do kind of like that change up, that it's not 975 00:44:43.079 --> 00:44:47.039 just that one same thing constantly going on there. It's 976 00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:50.039 difficult though with these games then. You know, it used 977 00:44:50.039 --> 00:44:52.159 to be, well, you make a new SIEV game every 978 00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:54.519 seven eight years, because video games have changed so much, 979 00:44:54.599 --> 00:44:57.639 so you just do that and automatically it's inherently interesting. 980 00:44:58.280 --> 00:45:01.800 And now it's like, wow, seven eight years later, video 981 00:45:01.840 --> 00:45:05.559 games have not changed. SIF six basically looks as good 982 00:45:05.599 --> 00:45:07.360 as this game does, right, And I like the way 983 00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:10.119 this game looks. I think it's pretty spiffy. It runs great, 984 00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:12.480 probably because they had to optimize it for the switch, right. 985 00:45:13.400 --> 00:45:15.639 So yeah, we're working, you know, very well and just 986 00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:18.679 about probably any computer there. But it is like such 987 00:45:18.719 --> 00:45:20.719 a difficult proposition. I think that's why they have to 988 00:45:20.800 --> 00:45:24.159 do some of these changes that maybe almost seem arbitrary. 989 00:45:24.199 --> 00:45:26.199 You're kind of like, let's just try it out. Like 990 00:45:26.280 --> 00:45:28.480 some of these sweeping age changes. You can even change 991 00:45:28.480 --> 00:45:31.760 your whole civilization between each change and things like that. 992 00:45:31.880 --> 00:45:35.360 Yeah, I started as the Mississippians and ended as Japan 993 00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:38.960 and like you still have your leader, so that's still 994 00:45:38.960 --> 00:45:39.840 a connecting tissue. 995 00:45:40.079 --> 00:45:42.280 Although it's like somethings a little weird, like I'm Benjamin 996 00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:47.679 Franklin of the French right, something like that, but there's 997 00:45:47.679 --> 00:45:49.800 still some cohesion to it. I don't know, it's still 998 00:45:49.840 --> 00:45:52.000 is just doing the SIF thing that I'm looking for. 999 00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:53.920 And again I'm more of a I'm going to play 1000 00:45:53.960 --> 00:45:56.440 tens of hours of this game, not hundreds of hours, right, 1001 00:45:57.559 --> 00:45:59.679 but for me, these games are fun to stop every 1002 00:45:59.679 --> 00:46:02.960 once while, and they're incredible time I don't say time wasters, 1003 00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:07.119 but they definitely make time fast forward. Yes, that's my 1004 00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:10.159 whole weekend. Yeah, you want to always quick see another turn, 1005 00:46:10.440 --> 00:46:12.840 see what happens next, you see that you're so close 1006 00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:16.280 to a new age or so close to building this wonder. 1007 00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:19.840 I think the game is faster than it was before. 1008 00:46:20.199 --> 00:46:22.079 Like SI six, certain things felt like they would just 1009 00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:24.840 kind of take forever. Just even waiting for the AI 1010 00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:28.199 to take their turns could sometimes be a long, argeous process. 1011 00:46:28.239 --> 00:46:31.800 Here that all goes by very quickly. Now, Yeah, I'm 1012 00:46:31.840 --> 00:46:34.800 pretty positive about it. I'm having a good time. Well, 1013 00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:36.400 I think it's going it's going to deliver what most 1014 00:46:36.400 --> 00:46:36.880 people want. 1015 00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:39.119 I think I just think that those the little games 1016 00:46:39.159 --> 00:46:41.519 you do in each of those eras, like building the wonders. 1017 00:46:41.639 --> 00:46:45.239 I like building wonders. That's fine. Spreading religion. I don't 1018 00:46:45.639 --> 00:46:46.760 know what that accomplished. 1019 00:46:47.119 --> 00:46:49.760 I'm not like, maybe it did, I don't know what 1020 00:46:49.880 --> 00:46:53.480 it did. And then the of the archaeology thing, I 1021 00:46:53.559 --> 00:46:58.079 think that's how the NPC sieve that one got their victories, 1022 00:46:58.199 --> 00:47:01.880 Like they just had fifty archaeologists, archaeologists. 1023 00:47:01.320 --> 00:47:03.239 Going around the world exploring these various. 1024 00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:05.880 Sites, and it's like, Okay, I was doing that, but 1025 00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:09.000 it's like it's just sending a character to a space 1026 00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:11.239 having them do something for a couple of turns, which 1027 00:47:11.239 --> 00:47:12.679 I guess is a lot of sieve. But it just 1028 00:47:12.719 --> 00:47:14.559 didn't feel like I had a ton of say and 1029 00:47:14.639 --> 00:47:15.199 what was happening. 1030 00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:17.639 So I definitely still with the religion thing, like it 1031 00:47:17.760 --> 00:47:19.280 told me what to do, and I was sending my 1032 00:47:19.320 --> 00:47:21.239 missionaries to the city, and I was like, if if 1033 00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:22.960 you convert a city for the first time, you get 1034 00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:25.079 a reliquary, if you get so many of those and 1035 00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:28.000 you complete these missions, which again we'll give you bonuses 1036 00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:29.920 for the next phase, you can have it kind of 1037 00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:32.920 lake up as you're going to a win condition. But yeah, 1038 00:47:33.000 --> 00:47:34.519 like you know, sometimes I always send my missionary to 1039 00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:36.760 somebody's city, but I can see what their religion is 1040 00:47:36.800 --> 00:47:39.719 and it isn't mine, but just I couldn't convert them, 1041 00:47:39.760 --> 00:47:42.000 and I was like, okay, was like, no, wait, did 1042 00:47:42.039 --> 00:47:45.840 I convert this city already? I'm not super sure. Granted 1043 00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:48.280 I always had these issues a bit with a sieve gamer. 1044 00:47:48.400 --> 00:47:51.519 I'm sure, I'm like ninety percent sure what's going on, 1045 00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:53.599 but there is a ten percent. 1046 00:47:53.320 --> 00:47:56.199 Out there that's very nebulous for me, and it's often 1047 00:47:56.280 --> 00:47:57.039 what leads. 1048 00:47:56.920 --> 00:47:57.440 Me to lose. 1049 00:47:57.840 --> 00:47:59.880 Yeah, and I think that that's like the all the 1050 00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:01.920 these things that you're doing in these various eras. It's 1051 00:48:02.039 --> 00:48:05.599 it is just like trying to clear a condition. Usually 1052 00:48:05.719 --> 00:48:07.800 I'm not sure if there's any sort of like analogue 1053 00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:10.840 oh this because these religions are are spreading in this 1054 00:48:11.000 --> 00:48:13.559 way and has an effect on how people feel and 1055 00:48:13.679 --> 00:48:17.119 how the systems underlying are working. I didn't get a 1056 00:48:17.199 --> 00:48:19.239 sense of that, And I think that's kind of the 1057 00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:22.039 overall takeaway I have from SIV seven is it maybe 1058 00:48:22.079 --> 00:48:24.719 feels more like a static board game than ever before. 1059 00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:26.440 And part of that, I think part of that's going 1060 00:48:26.480 --> 00:48:28.960 to be positive for many people. But it's like I 1061 00:48:29.039 --> 00:48:31.320 definitely like the messiness of the older SIV games where 1062 00:48:31.360 --> 00:48:35.639 it's like, I don't know my culture is like they 1063 00:48:35.679 --> 00:48:38.599 have a lot of radios and television, so they're spreading 1064 00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:40.519 their culture, and then suddenly a town that was over 1065 00:48:40.559 --> 00:48:43.440 there just suddenly became part of my civilization because they're like, man, 1066 00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:45.039 these people rule, we want to be part of them. 1067 00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:46.800 And it's like I have no idea how that happened, 1068 00:48:46.840 --> 00:48:49.199 how I accomplished that, but I kind of general feeling 1069 00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:52.480 how I got there. And this game it seems much 1070 00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:55.920 more deterministic, like, hey, you have these things, you are 1071 00:48:55.960 --> 00:48:58.079 filling up these buckets, and if someone fills up that bucket, 1072 00:48:58.119 --> 00:48:58.719 they're gonna win. 1073 00:48:58.880 --> 00:49:00.840 I think that that's interesting to say. It almost feels 1074 00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:02.760 more like a board game than before. I definitely get 1075 00:49:02.800 --> 00:49:05.239 that one thing. I do like you kind of talked 1076 00:49:05.280 --> 00:49:07.559 about the way cities grow. I do like how it's 1077 00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:10.079 just depending on that growth meter and every once in 1078 00:49:10.079 --> 00:49:12.519 a while you basically get to expand by a tile, 1079 00:49:12.840 --> 00:49:14.199 whereas in the old games, is like you had to 1080 00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:16.519 have that worker unit you kind of sent them around 1081 00:49:16.840 --> 00:49:19.280 to build the improvements and it was like it wasn't terrible, 1082 00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:21.920 a little laborious. I think this system is better. I 1083 00:49:21.960 --> 00:49:24.639 thinkues system's very good. I really like optimizing my cities. 1084 00:49:24.719 --> 00:49:29.119 Yep. I am very intrigued to check out Civilization seven. 1085 00:49:29.480 --> 00:49:32.320 I am a little bit intimidated after hearing both of 1086 00:49:32.320 --> 00:49:35.000 you talk about that. But the reason why you're gonna. 1087 00:49:34.760 --> 00:49:36.960 Have so many laughs though, it's gonna be such. 1088 00:49:36.800 --> 00:49:40.400 A laugh right why I thought this game was supposed 1089 00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:43.000 to be funny. But one of the reasons I want 1090 00:49:43.039 --> 00:49:45.880 to check this out is my boy hero of the Philippines, 1091 00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:48.519 Jose Brizzalez, in this fucking game. And then I was 1092 00:49:48.559 --> 00:49:50.599 just reading some of his attributes and I'm like, oh, 1093 00:49:51.119 --> 00:49:53.760 that's what I'm all about. I'm all about being diplomatic 1094 00:49:53.960 --> 00:49:58.239 and cultural and my agenda is copla. 1095 00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:05.519 Mike, did you ever attack a AI Civilization I That's 1096 00:50:05.559 --> 00:50:09.440 like with these games in general, I never liked playing 1097 00:50:09.519 --> 00:50:12.400 them like military games. I made a military to try 1098 00:50:12.440 --> 00:50:15.159 to defend myself and often will lose because I eventually 1099 00:50:15.239 --> 00:50:17.960 kind of don't and then I get attacked and I die. 1100 00:50:18.079 --> 00:50:21.960 I never like going for military victories. Now did they 1101 00:50:22.000 --> 00:50:23.360 ever attack you? They attacked me? 1102 00:50:23.480 --> 00:50:27.679 Yeah, they never attacked me. Yeah, I almost get the 1103 00:50:27.719 --> 00:50:30.719 sense that maybe, yeah, right, it was nice. But I 1104 00:50:30.760 --> 00:50:32.639 get the sense that maybe something was bugged out because 1105 00:50:32.679 --> 00:50:33.719 they also stopped. 1106 00:50:34.119 --> 00:50:34.559 Doing the. 1107 00:50:36.400 --> 00:50:40.039 Sort of diplomacy stuff, whether that's another thing. Yeah, Like 1108 00:50:40.119 --> 00:50:41.920 in the third act, I not once did they reach 1109 00:50:41.960 --> 00:50:44.360 out to me to do diplomacy stuff. So I wonder 1110 00:50:44.360 --> 00:50:45.400 if my game bugged. 1111 00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:47.199 Out, maybe your civilization smelled bad. 1112 00:50:47.760 --> 00:50:48.480 Yeah that's true. 1113 00:50:48.679 --> 00:50:51.039 Hey, we were God, we have maybe just so much 1114 00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:53.440 culture that these people couldn't even stand to look at us. 1115 00:50:53.440 --> 00:50:54.880 They couldn't understand embarrassment. 1116 00:50:55.400 --> 00:50:55.639 Yeah. 1117 00:50:55.719 --> 00:50:58.079 Yeah, you guys were talking about scibbities and they were like, what. 1118 00:50:58.199 --> 00:51:01.880 The fuck still on Polly Shore and we were onto Skibbity. 1119 00:51:02.000 --> 00:51:05.400 So yeah, right, right, well you had your own biodome 1120 00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:07.400 what it was, that's right. Yeah. 1121 00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:10.199 I think that it's also just a little buggy in general. 1122 00:51:10.360 --> 00:51:12.960 So I was saying some things, like I was getting 1123 00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:16.079 like some of like the speakover like lines for tech 1124 00:51:16.119 --> 00:51:18.679 trees and stuff that I didn't actually fulfill. I think 1125 00:51:18.679 --> 00:51:20.840 they just showed up for the first time, small things 1126 00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:23.760 like kind of like Indiana Jones dialogue. Bug's kind of 1127 00:51:23.800 --> 00:51:24.800 like exact level. 1128 00:51:24.960 --> 00:51:27.599 You have just some annoying UX stuff where and part 1129 00:51:27.639 --> 00:51:29.000 of that. So I'm playing on the steam deck, but 1130 00:51:29.039 --> 00:51:31.280 I'm like, I'm trying to move this resource to this city. 1131 00:51:31.400 --> 00:51:31.960 Just let me do it. 1132 00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:33.440 And eventually I'm just like, I'm gonna click on the 1133 00:51:33.480 --> 00:51:35.519 screen and see if that works. And sometimes that would. 1134 00:51:36.079 --> 00:51:38.760 Yeah, I was also having some weird stuff there sometimes. Yeah, 1135 00:51:39.239 --> 00:51:41.079 it's just I'm coming in a little hot, a little hot. 1136 00:51:41.320 --> 00:51:44.039 I don't uh speaking about coming in a little hot. 1137 00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:48.199 Citizen Sleeper too dropped last week. I was a big 1138 00:51:48.280 --> 00:51:50.800 fan of the original Citizen Sleeper. It was one of 1139 00:51:50.840 --> 00:51:56.280 those games that really made me think, oh shit, oh fuck, no, 1140 00:51:56.599 --> 00:52:00.159 I got to reevaluate my life. And Citizens Sleep or 1141 00:52:00.199 --> 00:52:03.599 two is in a very similar boat. For folks that 1142 00:52:03.679 --> 00:52:07.960 don't know, it is kind of a pseudo dice rolling 1143 00:52:08.159 --> 00:52:13.079 visual novel game dan game a Subway Surfers like a 1144 00:52:13.159 --> 00:52:18.199 Subway Surfers like, where you are given a set of 1145 00:52:18.400 --> 00:52:24.440 die each day, and those die determine your your success 1146 00:52:24.840 --> 00:52:28.000 in trying to accomplish certain tasks, and as you accomplish 1147 00:52:28.039 --> 00:52:31.840 certain tasks at a location that feeds to a bigger meter, 1148 00:52:32.199 --> 00:52:37.800 and as you are dedicating your actions to a specific 1149 00:52:37.960 --> 00:52:41.480 task that will unlock new locations, it will unlock new 1150 00:52:41.559 --> 00:52:45.880 characters to to chat with. And the newest addition to 1151 00:52:46.239 --> 00:52:49.599 Citizen Sleeper two to differentiate it from the original, is 1152 00:52:49.800 --> 00:52:52.679 now you can build a gang, but it's not a gang, 1153 00:52:52.719 --> 00:52:59.039 it's a crew. So the different people you're meeting, the 1154 00:52:59.119 --> 00:53:02.360 different relationship you were building in Citizens Sleeper one more 1155 00:53:02.440 --> 00:53:04.840 so just factored into the overall story and kind of 1156 00:53:04.880 --> 00:53:09.039 determined which kind of path you'd be going down. Now 1157 00:53:09.800 --> 00:53:12.559 there's a potential for some of the characters you meet 1158 00:53:12.679 --> 00:53:15.440 to join your crew, and with your crew, they have 1159 00:53:15.559 --> 00:53:20.280 different specialties, like there's an engineering, there's an endurance, and 1160 00:53:20.360 --> 00:53:23.719 I forget the different specs, but those different crew members 1161 00:53:24.239 --> 00:53:30.519 make up for your base character's faults because my existing 1162 00:53:30.639 --> 00:53:35.719 character now doesn't have any engineering experience. So if I 1163 00:53:35.800 --> 00:53:38.599 were to try and do a task that required engineering, 1164 00:53:38.960 --> 00:53:41.239 I would have a massive debuff and I would probably 1165 00:53:41.360 --> 00:53:43.360 fail at it. But since I have a crew member 1166 00:53:43.480 --> 00:53:46.320 that is really good at engineering, they can compensate for that. 1167 00:53:46.519 --> 00:53:47.559 Okay, that makes sense. 1168 00:53:48.440 --> 00:53:53.519 It's it is a lot of information to digest at 1169 00:53:53.519 --> 00:53:56.239 the very top of the game, but you settle into 1170 00:53:56.440 --> 00:54:01.320 the flow of it very quickly. Ever, actually completed one 1171 00:54:01.480 --> 00:54:04.639 run of the original game, just because I felt like, very, 1172 00:54:05.159 --> 00:54:09.519 very satisfied from the one story that I experienced, and 1173 00:54:09.719 --> 00:54:14.360 I didn't really want to explore the different options, even 1174 00:54:14.440 --> 00:54:17.159 if I even knowing now how much I kind of 1175 00:54:17.599 --> 00:54:21.559 failed and wasted time in those different story beats. Here 1176 00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:26.199 you are not completely locked down to the one location 1177 00:54:26.559 --> 00:54:29.079 or the big hubship you were on from the first game. 1178 00:54:29.559 --> 00:54:33.480 Here you have a hubship and you were going to 1179 00:54:33.599 --> 00:54:36.800 the different locales there, but also you have a map 1180 00:54:37.559 --> 00:54:40.480 that you can go to different ships in, so now 1181 00:54:40.519 --> 00:54:43.840 you're dealing with fuel management on top of all your 1182 00:54:43.920 --> 00:54:48.280 different resources. They added just enough systems in Citizen Sleeper 1183 00:54:48.320 --> 00:54:52.159 two to freshen it up and kind of make it 1184 00:54:52.320 --> 00:54:56.679 more intensive as you try and figure out what you're 1185 00:54:56.719 --> 00:54:58.840 going to do in a cycle. One second, Scott, please, 1186 00:55:02.440 --> 00:55:05.159 but it's great. It still has that same art style 1187 00:55:05.199 --> 00:55:08.679 for the character portrait portraits, which is like a grungy 1188 00:55:10.159 --> 00:55:13.800 future space punk vibe, which I really dig. The soundtrack 1189 00:55:13.920 --> 00:55:17.320 is amazing, and I was already hitting F twelve the 1190 00:55:17.400 --> 00:55:20.880 second the game started and taking those screenshots because man, 1191 00:55:21.280 --> 00:55:23.159 I'd be reading some lines and I would just whisper 1192 00:55:23.239 --> 00:55:29.280 to myself, bars damn existential bars. If you were at 1193 00:55:29.320 --> 00:55:32.119 all a fan of Citizen Sleeper one, this it's like 1194 00:55:32.159 --> 00:55:34.199 a no brainer to go check out Citizen Sleeper two. 1195 00:55:35.519 --> 00:55:39.760 I actually completed the first one from my phone doing 1196 00:55:39.920 --> 00:55:42.400 like the Steam Cloud stuff, so it's it's not an 1197 00:55:42.440 --> 00:55:45.519 intensive game. It is just a lot of reading. 1198 00:55:46.679 --> 00:55:49.000 Yeah, I'm kind of wondering because I always meant to 1199 00:55:49.039 --> 00:55:50.639 play that first one, didn't get around to it. Do 1200 00:55:50.679 --> 00:55:53.199 you think I should still play that one first? You 1201 00:55:53.239 --> 00:55:55.719 think I should just jump into the new thing? But 1202 00:55:55.840 --> 00:55:57.760 both on game pass, right, I think just the second 1203 00:55:57.800 --> 00:55:58.559 ones on game pass. 1204 00:55:58.599 --> 00:56:03.119 Maybe I don't think you need to play the first 1205 00:56:03.159 --> 00:56:08.960 one at all, only if you just want, I guess, 1206 00:56:09.360 --> 00:56:11.800 compared to something a little bit more scaled down in 1207 00:56:11.920 --> 00:56:14.599 terms of the systems. But this guides you through the process. 1208 00:56:15.400 --> 00:56:18.840 The only callback, at least from what I've experienced from 1209 00:56:18.840 --> 00:56:21.800 the original game, is the concept of the Sleepers, and 1210 00:56:21.960 --> 00:56:25.639 you were basically just like a robot that someone dumped 1211 00:56:26.079 --> 00:56:29.480 consciousness in to pay off their debts. It's kind of 1212 00:56:29.519 --> 00:56:33.440 like a Severance Delio, like an Indian Audi, except you're 1213 00:56:33.679 --> 00:56:36.800 any is always Audi and is a dying robot and 1214 00:56:36.960 --> 00:56:39.760 has gained sentience and was like you know what, I'm 1215 00:56:39.840 --> 00:56:42.639 kind of tired of dying and paying off my debts. 1216 00:56:42.760 --> 00:56:44.800 I'm just gonna dip out and take care of my 1217 00:56:44.840 --> 00:56:48.760 own thing. And yeah, the story goes in a bunch 1218 00:56:48.800 --> 00:56:54.039 of very existential but lovely places, and I just dig 1219 00:56:54.119 --> 00:56:54.400 the art. 1220 00:56:55.079 --> 00:56:55.239 Oh. 1221 00:56:55.360 --> 00:56:58.599 The other bit that's really neat is at least where 1222 00:56:58.639 --> 00:57:02.280 I'm in the game, everyone is constantly in zero G, 1223 00:57:03.199 --> 00:57:06.480 so there's fun little details where like everyone's character portraits 1224 00:57:06.480 --> 00:57:09.159 are kind of floating around, and as you're reading through 1225 00:57:09.239 --> 00:57:13.119 the text, people are just gliding through space, and I 1226 00:57:13.280 --> 00:57:16.559 just want to glide through space with y'all. Yeah, of course, have. 1227 00:57:16.599 --> 00:57:18.280 You done a sensory deprivation chamber? 1228 00:57:19.800 --> 00:57:22.719 No to try it. You're literally just kind of floating 1229 00:57:22.880 --> 00:57:26.039 in darkness. I don't know if I can handle. I 1230 00:57:26.159 --> 00:57:28.679 just in San Francisco. Yeah, I strike a bottle tequila 1231 00:57:28.719 --> 00:57:32.639 and lay in my bathtub. That's also yeah, yeah, yeah, 1232 00:57:33.079 --> 00:57:34.920 you were jaying you had this one on Fantasy Critic 1233 00:57:35.000 --> 00:57:37.280 to you got a sweet sixteen points from this thing. 1234 00:57:37.320 --> 00:57:40.119 You're now in first place for actual points but also 1235 00:57:40.239 --> 00:57:41.840 projected first place. Look at that. 1236 00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:45.920 Well, yeah, baby. Also, the music in this game, god 1237 00:57:46.079 --> 00:57:49.159 fucking banger after banger similar to the fact I played. 1238 00:57:48.960 --> 00:57:50.519 A couple hours of the first one, and that's the 1239 00:57:50.559 --> 00:57:52.119 thing I really took I mean, okay, the two things 1240 00:57:52.159 --> 00:57:54.599 I took away from the first one. Three things I 1241 00:57:54.679 --> 00:57:57.599 did like the systems. I like the dice rolling. I 1242 00:57:57.679 --> 00:58:00.880 thought the art was astounding. It was just an awesome 1243 00:58:00.960 --> 00:58:03.119 game to look at. And then the music was very good. 1244 00:58:03.239 --> 00:58:04.920 They kind of hit all that here as well. Is 1245 00:58:04.960 --> 00:58:08.760 what I'm getting, Oh totally, I think. Also over the 1246 00:58:08.800 --> 00:58:13.280 weekend I check it, checked out Disco Elysium, and I 1247 00:58:13.599 --> 00:58:15.119 know that it's everyone's favorite game here. 1248 00:58:15.639 --> 00:58:18.800 Uh. But the thing I think I benetted from the 1249 00:58:18.960 --> 00:58:22.440 most is checking it out now and that there's voice 1250 00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:25.559 acting added to it. Yeah, so I was, I guess 1251 00:58:25.719 --> 00:58:30.320 further immersed into the story. I know that the Citizen's 1252 00:58:30.360 --> 00:58:33.880 Sleeper Team is very small. I would maybe enjoy it 1253 00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:37.719 with some voice acting perhaps, Uh, not not critical at all. 1254 00:58:37.800 --> 00:58:41.400 I'm completely fine reading it, but I wouldn't mind maybe 1255 00:58:41.519 --> 00:58:43.719 like an edition down the line, combining one and two 1256 00:58:43.800 --> 00:58:47.920 and now we got voices and hey, need someone to 1257 00:58:48.079 --> 00:58:52.400 like read some things today Sleeper Team Collish Boy. Anyway, 1258 00:58:52.920 --> 00:58:56.400 speaking about reading things I'm reading on this doc here, 1259 00:58:57.000 --> 00:58:59.480 I Grubb you're a little You're a little snow rider 1260 00:58:59.559 --> 00:59:00.719 right now, right. 1261 00:59:00.679 --> 00:59:01.239 In that snow. 1262 00:59:02.000 --> 00:59:05.519 I'm lonely on this mountain. Lonely Mountains snow Riders. I 1263 00:59:05.679 --> 00:59:07.199 am playing this on steam Deck. 1264 00:59:08.480 --> 00:59:10.679 It is out everywhere, though, as far as I can tell, 1265 00:59:10.920 --> 00:59:11.679 in a lot of places. 1266 00:59:11.800 --> 00:59:15.119 It is the follow up to Lonely Mountains Downhills, which 1267 00:59:15.280 --> 00:59:19.719 was a BMX downhill racing game, sort of racing slash 1268 00:59:19.880 --> 00:59:22.960 chill hangout game, but it has the leaderboards in it, 1269 00:59:23.079 --> 00:59:24.719 so you can imagine the way that I play it. 1270 00:59:25.559 --> 00:59:30.039 This is similar, but it's about skiing, and so it 1271 00:59:30.119 --> 00:59:31.639 gives you an option right when you start. Do you 1272 00:59:31.679 --> 00:59:34.519 want screen based control or do you want kind of 1273 00:59:35.199 --> 00:59:37.280 a true control where like left and right are always 1274 00:59:37.360 --> 00:59:40.639 left and right for your skier tank controls basically, And 1275 00:59:40.920 --> 00:59:42.920 I chose that, and that is that's been right for me. 1276 00:59:43.159 --> 00:59:44.400 And it took it just took me a second. I 1277 00:59:44.440 --> 00:59:45.880 played this on stream a little bit and I wasn't 1278 00:59:45.920 --> 00:59:48.079 getting the hang of, like of how I should be 1279 00:59:48.119 --> 00:59:52.119 breaking or how forgiving the physics are, and it's like 1280 00:59:52.159 --> 00:59:55.159 they're not super forgiving, so you should kind of like 1281 00:59:55.239 --> 00:59:57.000 go in there with a little bit of hesitation when 1282 00:59:57.000 --> 00:59:59.159 you see a corner that you can't fully see around. 1283 00:59:59.599 --> 01:00:02.559 So now that I've sort of got on its wavelength, 1284 01:00:02.960 --> 01:00:05.400 I am really enjoying it. It has all the really 1285 01:00:05.440 --> 01:00:07.840 good vibes of hey, hang out, go downhill. That feels good, 1286 01:00:07.960 --> 01:00:09.480 and then when you get to the end you see 1287 01:00:09.519 --> 01:00:10.880 how fast you did. I'm like, I bet I could 1288 01:00:10.880 --> 01:00:13.159 do that faster. Of course that's also very enticing for 1289 01:00:13.239 --> 01:00:14.239 me to do things over and over. 1290 01:00:14.400 --> 01:00:16.119 Yeah, I don't think I quite got the hang of 1291 01:00:16.400 --> 01:00:18.119 because I just played like a little bit of it 1292 01:00:18.239 --> 01:00:19.400 and it was like, wait, does I want me to 1293 01:00:19.519 --> 01:00:22.880 let go of the jump button after my skis leave 1294 01:00:22.960 --> 01:00:23.400 the ground? 1295 01:00:24.280 --> 01:00:26.440 You can do that? There's like some benefits to that sometimes. 1296 01:00:26.480 --> 01:00:28.599 Okay, Yeah, I just wasn't understanding that really because I 1297 01:00:28.719 --> 01:00:31.280 anytime I load up like a snowboarding type game or 1298 01:00:31.280 --> 01:00:33.679 a skiing game, I just assume ssex controls. 1299 01:00:34.039 --> 01:00:35.599 I hold in the X button, I can. 1300 01:00:35.559 --> 01:00:38.519 Start kind of preloading the backflip or whatever I want 1301 01:00:38.559 --> 01:00:40.440 to do. And it kind of threw me off that 1302 01:00:40.719 --> 01:00:42.559 it definitely if I would say not as I love that. 1303 01:00:42.719 --> 01:00:45.559 Yes, yeah, yeah, this is much more like it's not 1304 01:00:45.679 --> 01:00:48.440 a sim but it's much more sim than it is SSX. 1305 01:00:49.679 --> 01:00:51.599 So it like a lot of times, like when you're 1306 01:00:51.639 --> 01:00:54.199 going on ramps and stuff like, you are holding down 1307 01:00:54.239 --> 01:00:55.840 that jump button, but that jump button is also just 1308 01:00:55.920 --> 01:00:57.960 your tuck down button, so you can go faster and 1309 01:00:58.000 --> 01:00:59.880 get speed, and a lot of times you're just sort 1310 01:00:59.880 --> 01:01:01.320 of when you let go, you are just letting go 1311 01:01:01.440 --> 01:01:04.199 of that. And so when you were going over a ramp, 1312 01:01:04.360 --> 01:01:06.280 a lot of times that ramp and excuse me, if 1313 01:01:06.280 --> 01:01:07.679 you have enough speed, it's just going to carry you 1314 01:01:07.800 --> 01:01:10.960 up there on its own. And really you have to 1315 01:01:11.000 --> 01:01:13.639 decide then, Okay, do I need extra speed so I'll 1316 01:01:13.679 --> 01:01:16.199 let go and kind of just let my body elongate 1317 01:01:16.280 --> 01:01:17.840 into the jump and that will carry me a little 1318 01:01:17.840 --> 01:01:20.119 bit further. Or do I want to maybe elongate in 1319 01:01:20.199 --> 01:01:22.159 air which would actually slow me down a little bit 1320 01:01:22.360 --> 01:01:24.280 so that I can hit the jump a little bit 1321 01:01:24.320 --> 01:01:27.280 short and maybe landed on the perfect spots. So when 1322 01:01:27.320 --> 01:01:29.840 could take my momentum and carry it around this new turn. 1323 01:01:30.719 --> 01:01:32.679 It's you're making a lot of decisions like that, but 1324 01:01:32.800 --> 01:01:34.280 it does take some getting used to. 1325 01:01:34.639 --> 01:01:36.480 Yeah, it seemed cool from when I like, just the 1326 01:01:36.639 --> 01:01:38.119 carving through the snow felt great, and. 1327 01:01:38.239 --> 01:01:39.360 I think I just need to get used to it. 1328 01:01:39.519 --> 01:01:43.920 Yeah, yeah, yeah, but overall it's like solid I actually 1329 01:01:43.960 --> 01:01:46.280 struggled to find a friend's leaderboard, so I'm not I'm 1330 01:01:46.320 --> 01:01:47.960 not sure if that's in the game. It might be, 1331 01:01:48.599 --> 01:01:51.079 but you could play online multiplayer together. I've not done 1332 01:01:51.119 --> 01:01:53.440 that yet. We might try to do that this week, though. 1333 01:01:53.480 --> 01:01:54.800 I think that'd be a good UPF game. 1334 01:01:54.880 --> 01:01:57.760 Oh yes, I looks like such a Jeff grub game. 1335 01:01:57.840 --> 01:01:59.280 God, yes, very much. 1336 01:01:59.320 --> 01:02:02.039 Downhills was very much my game. This one is too. 1337 01:02:02.360 --> 01:02:06.239 I've always been snow activity curious as someone in San Francisco. 1338 01:02:07.079 --> 01:02:08.119 I want to make a snow angel. 1339 01:02:08.159 --> 01:02:11.840 Can y'all what if it snowed in San Francisco? Every 1340 01:02:11.920 --> 01:02:15.639 car would crash? Yes, every even the parked cars would crash. 1341 01:02:15.920 --> 01:02:19.119 The hill reference to a Johnny Moseley skiing game for 1342 01:02:19.159 --> 01:02:22.000 the PS one, I think, Wow, Johnny Moseley. 1343 01:02:22.440 --> 01:02:23.880 Yeah, what's he up to? Huh? 1344 01:02:24.199 --> 01:02:26.199 I haven't thought yeah? 1345 01:02:26.760 --> 01:02:31.000 Uh God, you talking about Johnny Moseley just made me 1346 01:02:31.079 --> 01:02:33.320 think of Travis Pastrana. 1347 01:02:32.800 --> 01:02:34.159 For some reason. Yeah. 1348 01:02:34.199 --> 01:02:36.880 They're all from that era. They're all from they where 1349 01:02:36.920 --> 01:02:40.039 they would wear the uh that in that video.

Seemed like a grub game. 1363 01:03:11.719 --> 01:03:13.480 Grub I've thought of you several times playing this. 1364 01:03:13.639 --> 01:03:16.719 I downloaded it, and I finally because you saw it 1365 01:03:16.800 --> 01:03:18.079 on the list and you put it on there, You've 1366 01:03:18.119 --> 01:03:19.760 talked about it, I need to just go look and 1367 01:03:19.800 --> 01:03:20.320 see what this is. 1368 01:03:20.360 --> 01:03:21.440 And as soon as I did, I'm like, oh, I 1369 01:03:21.480 --> 01:03:23.639 should be playing this. Yeah. I didn't know what to 1370 01:03:23.719 --> 01:03:24.320 expect it all. 1371 01:03:24.840 --> 01:03:26.559 Ben Hanson was telling me about it over the weekend 1372 01:03:26.719 --> 01:03:28.360 and I was like, oh, okay, maybe I should check 1373 01:03:28.400 --> 01:03:28.639 this out. 1374 01:03:29.039 --> 01:03:29.239 Yeah. 1375 01:03:29.360 --> 01:03:32.320 It The two things I think about most are Breath 1376 01:03:32.400 --> 01:03:34.000 of the Wild and Shadow of the Colossus. 1377 01:03:34.199 --> 01:03:35.679 With this, oh yeah, that's pretty cool. 1378 01:03:35.960 --> 01:03:41.079 Yeah, yeah, lots of fun physics magic type stuff like 1379 01:03:41.159 --> 01:03:43.760 you instantly get a couple Basically you get like the 1380 01:03:43.800 --> 01:03:45.639 forest power thing where you can just pick things up, 1381 01:03:45.719 --> 01:03:48.440 throw things so and there's a lot of like, okay, 1382 01:03:48.559 --> 01:03:52.159 this plant creates fires. If I throw this thing into 1383 01:03:52.199 --> 01:03:53.800 the woods, it's going to create kind of like a 1384 01:03:54.239 --> 01:03:56.840 cascading fire thing. But then I also have ice, and 1385 01:03:56.880 --> 01:03:58.440 so I can kind of like paint the path, or 1386 01:03:58.480 --> 01:04:01.039 I can cool off a tree or something and fix 1387 01:04:01.199 --> 01:04:04.719 kind of hot areas. There is cool stuff you could 1388 01:04:04.719 --> 01:04:06.880 do with the ice, where like there's enemies and it 1389 01:04:06.960 --> 01:04:09.360 will stick to them. So like there's like a wolf 1390 01:04:09.639 --> 01:04:12.039 boar type character. If I stick a bunch of ice 1391 01:04:12.079 --> 01:04:14.159 to them and stick them to the ground, he's just 1392 01:04:14.280 --> 01:04:15.519 kind of stuck there, and then I can go up 1393 01:04:15.559 --> 01:04:17.800 and just start hacking at him with my sword, or 1394 01:04:17.840 --> 01:04:19.719 if I just like if it's not connected to the ground. 1395 01:04:19.920 --> 01:04:22.119 Sometimes you'll see enemies running around with just like a 1396 01:04:22.320 --> 01:04:24.840 giant wall of ice stuck to their head and just 1397 01:04:25.119 --> 01:04:27.559 weird fun physics stuff like that, which makes it kind 1398 01:04:27.559 --> 01:04:29.119 of hard to run on a Steam deck. I would 1399 01:04:29.159 --> 01:04:32.039 recommend playing on your shoot computer because it's like a 1400 01:04:32.119 --> 01:04:35.480 lot of like maybe CPU stuff going on there. But 1401 01:04:35.599 --> 01:04:38.440 you can climb anything. So it's very Breath of Wild 1402 01:04:38.519 --> 01:04:40.519 in that. So and let's say you can't make this 1403 01:04:40.679 --> 01:04:42.599 jump or whatever, it's like, oh right, I have this 1404 01:04:42.760 --> 01:04:45.679 ice wall thing just paint basically like you know the 1405 01:04:45.760 --> 01:04:49.360 gun in the New Newer Prey, like the goog gun. Yes, 1406 01:04:49.920 --> 01:04:52.039 that's kind of what the ice power is like here 1407 01:04:52.519 --> 01:04:54.719 is you can just make platforms basically with the ice 1408 01:04:54.920 --> 01:04:55.719 and jump on it. 1409 01:04:56.039 --> 01:04:58.480 I just unlocked one where it's like a sphere of 1410 01:04:58.599 --> 01:05:01.159 gravity that pulls every thing in, so like all the 1411 01:05:01.320 --> 01:05:04.280 like items like you know, a broken bridge that I 1412 01:05:04.320 --> 01:05:05.920 cut down or something, and a bunch of enemies and 1413 01:05:05.960 --> 01:05:08.079 then you can explode it and then I level that up, 1414 01:05:08.159 --> 01:05:10.239 so now I can like move the orb around. 1415 01:05:10.079 --> 01:05:11.000 Before I exploded. 1416 01:05:11.519 --> 01:05:15.119 So it's it's got some cool like it's almost like 1417 01:05:15.199 --> 01:05:18.159 Monster Hunter two in that it's not a giant open 1418 01:05:18.239 --> 01:05:20.639 world the way Breath the Wild is it is segmented 1419 01:05:20.639 --> 01:05:22.440 where it's like I'm gonna go to this area to 1420 01:05:22.559 --> 01:05:25.559 this area as I'm unlocking these fast travel points, and 1421 01:05:25.760 --> 01:05:28.800 there are day and night cycles and certain crafting things 1422 01:05:28.840 --> 01:05:31.199 you can only get during night or day, and so 1423 01:05:31.280 --> 01:05:33.119 there is this loop of like you can go out 1424 01:05:33.199 --> 01:05:35.360 and try to do the story.

After the 1545 01:11:03.439 --> 01:11:07.319 Switch sales declined last quarter by thirty percent, so it 1546 01:11:07.399 --> 01:11:09.720 lowered its forecast by another one point five million. It's 1547 01:11:09.760 --> 01:11:13.079 lowered a bunch of times for o Kawa said Hey, yeah, 1548 01:11:13.199 --> 01:11:14.800 we're not going to hit our targets, and we're not 1549 01:11:14.800 --> 01:11:18.079 gonna hit our reduced targets either. They're not sell environment 1550 01:11:18.119 --> 01:11:21.159 of switches because everyone has already bought one. But they 1551 01:11:21.479 --> 01:11:24.359 put out their financials they keep saying, hey, don't worry 1552 01:11:24.359 --> 01:11:27.000 switch to it is going to come. They've announced the thing, 1553 01:11:27.199 --> 01:11:30.560 so there's something on the horizon. The Nintendo can kind 1554 01:11:30.560 --> 01:11:32.399 of point to investors toward that say. 1555 01:11:32.319 --> 01:11:32.960 Hey, don't worry. 1556 01:11:33.239 --> 01:11:35.479 In the meantime, they did update like their best selling 1557 01:11:35.560 --> 01:11:37.600 switch games, Animal Cross. 1558 01:11:37.840 --> 01:11:40.159 All right, let's do Mario Kart first. Mario Kart sold. 1559 01:11:40.039 --> 01:11:43.359 Another two million copies. And I think that's just and 1560 01:11:43.640 --> 01:11:46.680 I think that's in the last three months of the year, 1561 01:11:46.720 --> 01:11:49.760 because that's yeah, because from September twenty twenty four to 1562 01:11:49.840 --> 01:11:52.560 December thirty first, twenty twenty four, it gained another two 1563 01:11:52.560 --> 01:11:55.159 point zero eight million copies. It's now it's sixty seven 1564 01:11:55.239 --> 01:11:59.880 point three five million copies. So that is like base 1565 01:12:01.039 --> 01:12:01.960 I mean, that's more. 1566 01:12:01.840 --> 01:12:02.359 Than a third. 1567 01:12:02.680 --> 01:12:04.600 Honestly, if you're talking about a third.

That's pretty good. Yeah, 1593 01:13:17.640 --> 01:13:20.079 Tiers of the Kingdom is actually okay. So there was 1594 01:13:20.119 --> 01:13:21.680 a period there after Tears of the Kingdom came out 1595 01:13:21.680 --> 01:13:23.399 where Breath of the Wild was selling better than it. 1596 01:13:23.720 --> 01:13:26.000 Tiers of the Kingdom is now selling faster than Breath 1597 01:13:26.039 --> 01:13:27.560 of the Wild, but not by a ton.

You know, 1612 01:14:00.640 --> 01:14:03.920 It's just it's just, you know, I I'm trying not 1613 01:14:04.000 --> 01:14:09.520 to be no not that's funny. 1614 01:14:09.680 --> 01:14:10.880 Yeah, that's funny. 1615 01:14:11.560 --> 01:14:14.520 I try not to be inflammatory here, but like, you know, whatever, 1616 01:14:14.640 --> 01:14:18.359 your favorite like Prestige TV esque Sudy kick the Ship 1617 01:14:18.479 --> 01:14:23.000 out of the Mario Party sold better than it. Uh 1618 01:14:23.560 --> 01:14:26.560 they Uh so they're they're looking toward the future at Nintendo, 1619 01:14:27.479 --> 01:14:31.279 but well, they don't worry about. 1620 01:14:33.760 --> 01:14:36.239 Says it will continue to support the Switch after Switch 1621 01:14:36.319 --> 01:14:38.199 to his launch as long as there's demand. 1622 01:14:38.479 --> 01:14:38.600 Uh. 1623 01:14:39.159 --> 01:14:41.119 They say these kinds of things sometimes. 1624 01:14:41.680 --> 01:14:43.840 H for Akawa basically was like, hey, yeah, we're gonna 1625 01:14:43.880 --> 01:14:46.439 do this despite you know, thirty percent decline, blah blah blah, 1626 01:14:46.880 --> 01:14:49.439 there's still like lots of people playing the switch. They 1627 01:14:49.520 --> 01:14:52.000 didn't say something along the lines of one hundred and 1628 01:14:52.039 --> 01:14:53.960 twenty nine million people are playing. 1629 01:14:53.720 --> 01:14:55.840 The switch still or something along those lines. I don't 1630 01:14:55.880 --> 01:15:00.159 know how they count that. Uh, you know, they have, yes, 1631 01:15:00.239 --> 01:15:01.479 and that makes sense. 1632 01:15:01.479 --> 01:15:02.199 They go door to door. 1633 01:15:02.279 --> 01:15:02.880 It's a census. 1634 01:15:03.880 --> 01:15:06.319 They have sold one hundred and fifty point eighty six 1635 01:15:06.600 --> 01:15:09.560 million switches, So it is in that one hundred and 1636 01:15:09.560 --> 01:15:13.039 fifty million range where you know, very few other consoles 1637 01:15:13.079 --> 01:15:16.159 have gotten only the DS and the PS two. PS 1638 01:15:16.199 --> 01:15:17.800 two is now at one hundred and sixty million according 1639 01:15:17.800 --> 01:15:20.239 to Sony, So there's a lot out there and they're like, hey, 1640 01:15:20.359 --> 01:15:22.239 we want to keep supporting that because there could be 1641 01:15:22.279 --> 01:15:24.359 a lot of people still buying those games. Now, when 1642 01:15:24.359 --> 01:15:27.159 the three DS got replaced by the Switch, people just 1643 01:15:27.279 --> 01:15:29.680 stopped buying three DS games across the board that hole 1644 01:15:29.760 --> 01:15:32.399 last year, stuff like Warrior where Gold was coming out, 1645 01:15:32.439 --> 01:15:34.960 That Mario Luigi game came out. No one bought those games. 1646 01:15:35.800 --> 01:15:38.279 Do you think that will happen here or because of 1647 01:15:38.319 --> 01:15:40.560 backward compatibility. It's a completely different scenario. 1648 01:15:40.960 --> 01:15:44.239 It's difficult, right because even when the DS had, like 1649 01:15:44.319 --> 01:15:46.800 you said, over one hundred and fifty million consoles sold, 1650 01:15:47.800 --> 01:15:50.920 it still moved on to the three DS pretty quickly. 1651 01:15:50.960 --> 01:15:53.439 There there was like some cross gen support, and then 1652 01:15:53.520 --> 01:15:56.000 with the Game Boy Advance that there's going to be 1653 01:15:56.079 --> 01:15:58.000 crossing games for the Switch for a while because there 1654 01:15:58.000 --> 01:16:00.479 aren't just so many players there. But you know, it's 1655 01:16:00.680 --> 01:16:03.399 it's gonna keep getting harder and harder to make games 1656 01:16:03.479 --> 01:16:06.239 compatible with the Switch. One is going to be an issue, right, 1657 01:16:06.640 --> 01:16:12.000 it's such ancient, basically mobile hardware at this point, it's 1658 01:16:12.039 --> 01:16:14.640 going to be kind of a tall ask to say, hey, yeah, 1659 01:16:14.720 --> 01:16:16.960 make sure that that switch to game also still runs 1660 01:16:17.279 --> 01:16:20.000 on the original switch, you know. That kind of just 1661 01:16:20.079 --> 01:16:24.000 coupled with in general, people do move on kind of fast. 1662 01:16:24.079 --> 01:16:26.319 Not always. There was a lot of lingering like the 1663 01:16:26.439 --> 01:16:28.920 PS four and Xbox One, but that was also from 1664 01:16:29.000 --> 01:16:31.079 people who are just buying the new Call of Duty 1665 01:16:31.119 --> 01:16:33.479 every year and playing Fortnite, So they're kind of good 1666 01:16:33.600 --> 01:16:37.199 there anyways, right right, So yeah, I'm skeptical. 1667 01:16:38.039 --> 01:16:41.319 Yeah, I think a lot of people come down to like, 1668 01:16:41.560 --> 01:16:44.319 what does Nintendo actually do as it's releasing its games. Obviously, 1669 01:16:44.319 --> 01:16:47.039 I think Mario Kart, the new Mario Kart's just going 1670 01:16:47.119 --> 01:16:49.319 to be on switch to. Well, why would they put 1671 01:16:49.359 --> 01:16:51.199 that on switch again? They have a switch there all right, 1672 01:16:51.279 --> 01:16:53.000 or they have a Mario Kart on that switch already 1673 01:16:53.039 --> 01:16:55.079 that continues to sell just fine, so this new one 1674 01:16:55.119 --> 01:16:56.279 will just be on there. And if they do that 1675 01:16:56.399 --> 01:16:58.079 with all of their games, yeah, people will move on 1676 01:16:58.159 --> 01:17:00.479 to the switch to pretty fast. If there are some 1677 01:17:00.600 --> 01:17:04.239 smaller games that could continue to release on switch, maybe 1678 01:17:04.279 --> 01:17:05.960 and those would just work on switch too, maybe that 1679 01:17:06.000 --> 01:17:08.640 won't make a difference. So yeah, I think it will 1680 01:17:08.680 --> 01:17:11.359 have a little bit more long term support than three 1681 01:17:11.439 --> 01:17:14.319 DS did because of backward compatibility, but I don't think 1682 01:17:14.319 --> 01:17:15.239 it'll be much different. 1683 01:17:15.319 --> 01:17:16.640 People will be ready to move on. 1684 01:17:18.520 --> 01:17:21.359 Last little thing here from Nintendo. Nintendo says it's making 1685 01:17:21.479 --> 01:17:26.439 preparations for switch to resellers people you know. Scalpers President 1686 01:17:26.479 --> 01:17:29.680 Shintaro for Akala addressed concerns about potential switch to shortages 1687 01:17:29.720 --> 01:17:32.720 and reselling. For Okala stated that Nintendo has taken measures 1688 01:17:32.720 --> 01:17:35.600 to ensure a smooth launch and sufficient inventory to meet 1689 01:17:35.640 --> 01:17:39.439 demand based on past experiences with the original switch. They 1690 01:17:39.600 --> 01:17:41.800 did not get into the details of this. Is this 1691 01:17:42.039 --> 01:17:45.039 just another thing that these companies say, but it doesn't 1692 01:17:45.079 --> 01:17:47.239 really have much of an effect on reality, or do 1693 01:17:47.319 --> 01:17:49.800 you expect something drastic here, like hey, you have to 1694 01:17:49.840 --> 01:17:52.840 be an NSO subscriber to pre order the first batch 1695 01:17:52.880 --> 01:17:53.359 of switches. 1696 01:17:54.600 --> 01:17:57.600 I don't know about that, but there's you know, rumors 1697 01:17:57.640 --> 01:18:00.000 have been saying that they've been making switch toes already 1698 01:18:00.199 --> 01:18:02.199 for a while. I think the strategy is just there's 1699 01:18:02.399 --> 01:18:05.000 gonna be so many of them exactly that scalpers really 1700 01:18:05.199 --> 01:18:06.680 won't have a leg to stand on. There won't be 1701 01:18:06.720 --> 01:18:08.920 any reason for you to have to go to them 1702 01:18:09.119 --> 01:18:11.760 because you will just be able to go on Amazon 1703 01:18:11.960 --> 01:18:14.359 or go to a Walmart and pick one up hopefully. 1704 01:18:14.840 --> 01:18:17.319 Yeah, I think it's gonna be like the PS five 1705 01:18:17.399 --> 01:18:20.800 pro situation where that dropped and they were just in 1706 01:18:22.239 --> 01:18:24.039 They were so readily available that you didn't have to 1707 01:18:24.079 --> 01:18:27.520 worry about scalpers. I personally think Doug Bowser is just 1708 01:18:27.720 --> 01:18:31.159 gonna have a bat ready and go to town. 1709 01:18:31.600 --> 01:18:35.039 Here the Bowser bat they did. There is rumors that 1710 01:18:35.039 --> 01:18:36.960 they're gonna have like twenty million ready to go for 1711 01:18:37.279 --> 01:18:39.640 the first quarter of its launch, so that that'd be 1712 01:18:39.680 --> 01:18:42.119 a pretty good number. That would probably help a lot. 1713 01:18:42.560 --> 01:18:45.279 Wouldn't do it, wouldn't do everything to stop scalpers, but 1714 01:18:45.319 --> 01:18:45.960 it would help a lot. 1715 01:18:46.079 --> 01:18:49.159 You know, I think they sold twenty million game cubes ever? 1716 01:18:49.720 --> 01:18:54.760 Really yep? Yeah, wow, years of that that's wild yep. 1717 01:18:55.840 --> 01:18:58.560 ESA says tariffs on video games could cause significant harm 1718 01:18:58.600 --> 01:19:01.800 to everyday Americans. This is the lobbying firm for the 1719 01:19:01.840 --> 01:19:04.520 video game industry. They are they don't have a lot 1720 01:19:04.600 --> 01:19:07.199 of power, So them kind of pointing out how this 1721 01:19:07.319 --> 01:19:09.319 is going to be bad doesn't it probably. 1722 01:19:09.039 --> 01:19:11.840 Won't stop it, But who knows about tariffs? 1723 01:19:11.880 --> 01:19:13.880 They keep going back and forth, they say they were 1724 01:19:13.920 --> 01:19:16.239 about to put a twenty five percent tariff on all 1725 01:19:16.399 --> 01:19:20.520 goods from Canada and Mexico, and then everyone freaked out 1726 01:19:20.720 --> 01:19:23.119 and they've kind of backed off, But I imagine that 1727 01:19:23.319 --> 01:19:25.680 he'll get bored again and want to enact these eventually. 1728 01:19:26.479 --> 01:19:30.000 So really, though, the uncertainty is the point, and the 1729 01:19:30.119 --> 01:19:32.680 uncertainty is the thing that these companies can't deal with 1730 01:19:32.800 --> 01:19:34.520 because you can't you can't change the price of the 1731 01:19:34.560 --> 01:19:38.000 switch to every time the reality changes on taxes, right, 1732 01:19:38.119 --> 01:19:39.760 you have to like make a decision and kind of 1733 01:19:39.760 --> 01:19:41.640 stick with it. And if you raise the price, you 1734 01:19:41.640 --> 01:19:45.159 can maybe do that once every year or so. Maybe, 1735 01:19:45.600 --> 01:19:47.720 so they're going to want to probably price these sort 1736 01:19:47.760 --> 01:19:50.039 of this uncertainty in and so it's still. 1737 01:19:49.840 --> 01:19:52.399 Going to have an upward effect on a lot of prices. 1738 01:19:53.359 --> 01:19:55.279 The ESA, though, kind of being like, hey, we're going 1739 01:19:55.359 --> 01:19:57.600 to go fight for the video game industry doesn't stand 1740 01:19:57.720 --> 01:20:01.479 much of a chance. In Video Boss, Jensen Huang went 1741 01:20:01.560 --> 01:20:05.520 into the White House, spoke with Trump directly and explained 1742 01:20:05.520 --> 01:20:08.560 why a tariff on chips from TSMC and Taiwan would 1743 01:20:08.560 --> 01:20:11.159 be a really, really bad idea. He said, likely it 1744 01:20:11.279 --> 01:20:14.079 was a great conversation came out, and Trump still wants 1745 01:20:14.119 --> 01:20:17.640 to do those tariffs on chips. So if you know 1746 01:20:17.720 --> 01:20:19.920 Jensen and Wang the like, you know the head of 1747 01:20:20.199 --> 01:20:23.720 the what was very recently the most valuable company in 1748 01:20:23.760 --> 01:20:27.119 the history of the world other than Saudi Aramco like, 1749 01:20:27.239 --> 01:20:29.800 if he can't get this to change, the essay that 1750 01:20:29.960 --> 01:20:32.399 is just fundamentally much much weaker, and it has not 1751 01:20:32.520 --> 01:20:33.960 had a lot of sway and washed in for a 1752 01:20:34.119 --> 01:20:36.520 very long time. Doesn't stand much of a chance to 1753 01:20:36.560 --> 01:20:37.319 stop this either. 1754 01:20:39.159 --> 01:20:41.319 All right, let's see here. 1755 01:20:41.399 --> 01:20:44.840 PlayStation is reportedly prepping a February state of play for 1756 01:20:44.960 --> 01:20:49.039 Valentine's next week, for Valentine's Week. Excuse me, this is 1757 01:20:49.079 --> 01:20:52.079 from Nate to Hate I had this sounds about right. 1758 01:20:52.359 --> 01:20:55.039 I haven't heard this myself, but it sounds right to me. 1759 01:20:55.119 --> 01:20:57.279 PlayStation is overdue to talk about some things. 1760 01:20:58.159 --> 01:21:01.760 Yes, all right, I put my conspiracy hat on right 1761 01:21:01.800 --> 01:21:04.119 out there. Jan all right, all right, don't worry, folks. 1762 01:21:04.159 --> 01:21:08.119 I'm not gonna speculate about a watch. That's silly intended 1763 01:21:08.319 --> 01:21:14.640 doing that, all right, PlayStation state of play next week 1764 01:21:15.159 --> 01:21:19.039 around Valentine's Day week. What is a big symbol for 1765 01:21:19.239 --> 01:21:24.239 Valentine's Day? Jarman Heart exactly what have we not seen 1766 01:21:24.319 --> 01:21:25.079 in a long time? 1767 01:21:25.560 --> 01:21:29.800 Vitality sensor, No Hearts, No Mike, come on, come on, 1768 01:21:30.239 --> 01:21:34.680 work with Kingdom Hearts for baby. 1769 01:21:35.239 --> 01:21:39.399 It's time bust Sora out. Why has he been in Shibuya? 1770 01:21:39.840 --> 01:21:40.520 I need to know. 1771 01:21:42.720 --> 01:21:46.760 It's not impossible, No, it's not. There's actually maybe a 1772 01:21:46.840 --> 01:21:50.560 decent chance. Chance, I mean, like chance, not bad. 1773 01:21:51.920 --> 01:21:56.359 I remember who sounded insane first, and then you'll think 1774 01:21:57.039 --> 01:21:58.479 he did sound insane, but he was. 1775 01:21:59.319 --> 01:22:03.319 I mean, now that you know, we've got Prophecy sixteen, 1776 01:22:03.359 --> 01:22:05.840 we got seven reberth out like square Enix kind of 1777 01:22:05.880 --> 01:22:09.960 needs to talk about another big impending game, right and 1778 01:22:11.000 --> 01:22:13.159 they haven't talked about dran Quest twelve in a long time. 1779 01:22:13.239 --> 01:22:15.840 Maybe that could show too. But we know more about 1780 01:22:15.920 --> 01:22:19.239 Kingdom Hearts four than that actually, so it might start 1781 01:22:19.319 --> 01:22:22.399 ramping up Kingdom Hearts four again here. Honestly, it's been 1782 01:22:22.399 --> 01:22:24.560 a while since we heard from it. That's can't last forever. 1783 01:22:24.960 --> 01:22:28.319 Let me tell you Mowana to actually good. So let 1784 01:22:28.399 --> 01:22:31.279 me play as Moana. Let me play with Mowanna in 1785 01:22:31.399 --> 01:22:31.920 my party. 1786 01:22:33.359 --> 01:22:36.199 I think that you know, with state of play, it's 1787 01:22:36.239 --> 01:22:38.880 easy to get your hopes up and they could go 1788 01:22:38.960 --> 01:22:40.880 either way, this one could be a big one, right. 1789 01:22:40.880 --> 01:22:42.720 I think that last state of play is the one 1790 01:22:42.760 --> 01:22:44.399 that had ghost of Yota in it, and it's like 1791 01:22:44.479 --> 01:22:46.720 that was a pretty no one complained about that state 1792 01:22:46.800 --> 01:22:48.840 of play. They comin about a lot of the other ones. 1793 01:22:49.600 --> 01:22:51.680 But there is a chance that like this one also 1794 01:22:51.760 --> 01:22:53.840 comes along and just has a lot of nothing for 1795 01:22:53.960 --> 01:22:56.439 most people in it because it is Partner games things 1796 01:22:56.520 --> 01:22:59.920 like that. But it does overall feel like Sony and 1797 01:23:00.199 --> 01:23:02.520 Do for one of these updates us about a lot 1798 01:23:02.560 --> 01:23:04.760 of their developers that we don't know what's going on. 1799 01:23:05.119 --> 01:23:07.199 So they kind of need to get control of the 1800 01:23:07.319 --> 01:23:09.800 narrative again here a bit right, because it's sort of 1801 01:23:09.840 --> 01:23:12.479 a straight into well, they bet big on live service 1802 01:23:12.520 --> 01:23:16.039 and that didn't work, and they're canceling games and closing studios. 1803 01:23:16.119 --> 01:23:19.399 That's what's happening at Police Station right now. So yeah, 1804 01:23:19.439 --> 01:23:20.319 we know about ghosts. 1805 01:23:20.600 --> 01:23:23.399 That's great. We got to have a couple other things 1806 01:23:23.439 --> 01:23:28.079 either reintroduced, like Wolverine or announced here from some of 1807 01:23:28.159 --> 01:23:29.000 these big studios. 1808 01:23:29.640 --> 01:23:33.640 Yes, I think go ahead is the Venom game real? 1809 01:23:33.880 --> 01:23:34.560 Does it exist? 1810 01:23:35.039 --> 01:23:35.800 We don't know anymore. 1811 01:23:36.000 --> 01:23:39.359 It's I mean like it leaked in that hack and 1812 01:23:39.680 --> 01:23:41.800 it seemed like it was going to fill in that 1813 01:23:41.920 --> 01:23:46.279 slot that Miles Morales did. But then people dug further 1814 01:23:46.319 --> 01:23:48.039 into the week and got the sense that maybe it's 1815 01:23:48.279 --> 01:23:50.159 it's not coming out when they said it was, or 1816 01:23:50.239 --> 01:23:53.039 maybe never coming out. But who knows, that's incomplete information 1817 01:23:53.119 --> 01:23:55.079 from quite some time ago, So we'll just have to 1818 01:23:55.079 --> 01:23:55.520 wait to see. 1819 01:23:55.760 --> 01:23:56.560 Now, Jeff. 1820 01:23:57.840 --> 01:24:00.960 Bridge Racer recently came back. Yes, it did on the 1821 01:24:01.159 --> 01:24:02.800 n s O Ridge Racer sixty four. 1822 01:24:03.439 --> 01:24:07.479 Is this the start of what people around the world 1823 01:24:07.560 --> 01:24:12.159 are calling the Ridge Racer renaissance? And we are in 1824 01:24:12.399 --> 01:24:16.359 fact going to see a brand new triple A Redge 1825 01:24:16.439 --> 01:24:19.199 Racer revealed at this State of Play event. Many people 1826 01:24:19.239 --> 01:24:25.880 are saying that, yeah, yes, without people assaulting me about this, 1827 01:24:26.039 --> 01:24:26.399 you're right. 1828 01:24:26.560 --> 01:24:33.319 The Happy Meal toys right now is yeah, Mike, I 1829 01:24:33.399 --> 01:24:35.439 don't think it's good if it happens. I do think 1830 01:24:35.479 --> 01:24:38.279 it happens with Nintendo and not with PlayStation because Nintend's 1831 01:24:38.279 --> 01:24:39.760 got a pretty good relationship. 1832 01:24:39.319 --> 01:24:42.199 With Banda Namco these days, uh or Konami. As you 1833 01:24:42.239 --> 01:24:45.359 would say, Look, look, don't bring that up. 1834 01:24:46.039 --> 01:24:46.640 That one hurt. 1835 01:24:46.960 --> 01:24:48.640 That was a bad brain for it. I was embarrassed. 1836 01:24:48.760 --> 01:24:51.800 I could see dan a shame of me right now 1837 01:24:53.359 --> 01:24:55.199 and band Namco mixed up once. 1838 01:24:56.720 --> 01:24:59.600 Hey, I'm hopeful for you, Bud, and I I promised 1839 01:24:59.600 --> 01:25:02.239 I will actually start asking people about this one for real. 1840 01:25:02.520 --> 01:25:04.600 Actually you've been asking for years. I've been telling you too. 1841 01:25:04.800 --> 01:25:07.359 You're right, yeah, Okay, who knows? 1842 01:25:07.640 --> 01:25:11.199 Do you think we could potentially see something from Microsoft 1843 01:25:11.399 --> 01:25:12.279 on the state of play? 1844 01:25:13.279 --> 01:25:17.840 Yeah, Fortza right, I mean that Fortsa got announced. I 1845 01:25:17.880 --> 01:25:18.119 think that. 1846 01:25:18.399 --> 01:25:22.000 I think part of it is. The reason Microsoft announced 1847 01:25:22.039 --> 01:25:25.159 it when it did is because it is going to 1848 01:25:25.159 --> 01:25:27.119 show up in that state of play, and they didn't 1849 01:25:27.119 --> 01:25:29.520 want their fans being like, now, Microsoft's just making State 1850 01:25:29.560 --> 01:25:31.720 of plays look better instead of their own stuff. Now 1851 01:25:31.760 --> 01:25:33.880 it's kind of hurt a little bit less, but it's 1852 01:25:33.960 --> 01:25:36.840 real and it's happening, so yeah, I think so. Yeah, 1853 01:25:36.840 --> 01:25:38.840 and Indy will get an update. We know Indiana Jones 1854 01:25:38.920 --> 01:25:41.239 is coming, so that stuff could easily show up in 1855 01:25:41.239 --> 01:25:45.039 a state of play, all right. Forts A Rising five 1856 01:25:45.159 --> 01:25:48.039 speaking up is coming to PlayStation in the spring. It 1857 01:25:48.159 --> 01:25:51.039 leaked first, and then Microsoft confirmed it. This happened the 1858 01:25:51.079 --> 01:25:53.560 week after Phil Spencer did a lot of interviews on 1859 01:25:53.600 --> 01:25:56.399 a lot of different podcasts, kind of like trying to 1860 01:25:56.560 --> 01:26:00.159 gently remind people this is our strategy. Now I think, well, 1861 01:26:00.359 --> 01:26:01.760 I've talked about this with you, Mike and one of 1862 01:26:01.800 --> 01:26:04.399 our shows. But now that forts has happened, that is 1863 01:26:04.479 --> 01:26:06.960 like one of the holy Trinity of Microsoft games, alongside 1864 01:26:07.000 --> 01:26:07.760 Gears and Halo. 1865 01:26:08.319 --> 01:26:09.840 If it's FORTSA, it's anything, right. 1866 01:26:10.039 --> 01:26:10.239 Yeah. 1867 01:26:10.600 --> 01:26:12.039 If there might be a few people are still like, 1868 01:26:12.119 --> 01:26:15.000 well still, that's a little different than than Halo. I 1869 01:26:15.039 --> 01:26:18.079 think most people have now gotten the message, like you said, like, yeah, 1870 01:26:18.119 --> 01:26:22.359 Phil Spencer kind of did the circuit basically to rearrarate, right, 1871 01:26:22.720 --> 01:26:25.520 Like you know, every chance he got is like, yeah, 1872 01:26:25.680 --> 01:26:28.359 we're putting our games on everything and anything switch to 1873 01:26:28.680 --> 01:26:29.720 love that PlayStation. 1874 01:26:30.399 --> 01:26:31.159 Absolutely. 1875 01:26:31.520 --> 01:26:33.840 He never said, yeah, we're gonna put all our games 1876 01:26:33.920 --> 01:26:36.319 except for you know, of course a few of them. No, 1877 01:26:36.479 --> 01:26:40.960 it's everything now, and I absolutely expect to hear if 1878 01:26:41.000 --> 01:26:44.319 it's not not the next Halo, maybe master Chief collection 1879 01:26:44.760 --> 01:26:47.279 sooner or other or later, maybe the rumors of a 1880 01:26:47.439 --> 01:26:50.319 Gears of Work collection same thing. That could easily be 1881 01:26:50.399 --> 01:26:53.800 the first time we see Gears of War on PlayStation. Yeah, 1882 01:26:53.880 --> 01:26:54.880 it's happening. 1883 01:26:54.800 --> 01:26:56.359 Where you're I'm Sweeper. 1884 01:26:56.680 --> 01:27:01.920 Perhaps finally it's guys Brute Force. Everything is on the 1885 01:27:02.039 --> 01:27:11.319 table now cell Damage. Uh fucking cameo, remember cameo, Elements 1886 01:27:11.359 --> 01:27:16.279 of Power, NFL Fever, Yeah, NFL Fever. I think I 1887 01:27:16.359 --> 01:27:24.359 have a copy of that, but yeah, yeah, yeah right Tang, 1888 01:27:24.520 --> 01:27:26.520 what's the fighting game? The Lotus? 1889 01:27:26.880 --> 01:27:32.359 How fan Chaos of course? Yeah, so any minute now, 1890 01:27:32.359 --> 01:27:34.800 all those will be breaking down the door onto the PlayStation. 1891 01:27:35.399 --> 01:27:37.600 Oh god, I would love like a seat, a collection 1892 01:27:37.720 --> 01:27:41.039 of seats your original Xbox games on platforms that would 1893 01:27:41.119 --> 01:27:42.880 rule so much excellently. 1894 01:27:43.000 --> 01:27:44.760 We should just make it ourselves and sell it as 1895 01:27:44.760 --> 01:27:45.880 a bootleg out of the front. 1896 01:27:46.000 --> 01:27:50.840 Yea spellcaster was I can't call and remember that all 1897 01:27:50.920 --> 01:27:53.239 that good ship and it's just bootleg. 1898 01:27:52.880 --> 01:28:01.319 Copies of Wicked Hell yeah yeah, oh yeah, blood spoiled 1899 01:28:01.640 --> 01:28:02.680 right yeah, BAVD. 1900 01:28:03.600 --> 01:28:06.920 Xbox revenue fell seven percent in Q two has hardware 1901 01:28:06.960 --> 01:28:09.960 sales dropped twenty nine percent. Basically, software stuff is up 1902 01:28:10.000 --> 01:28:12.600 two percent. Hardware is dragging it down. They're putting all 1903 01:28:12.600 --> 01:28:14.239 their stuff everywhere, so people are, hey, why would I 1904 01:28:14.239 --> 01:28:17.319 buy an Xbox? And then people don't buy an Xbox. 1905 01:28:18.319 --> 01:28:20.600 The hardware is down for everybody. It was down for Switch, 1906 01:28:20.680 --> 01:28:23.000 it was down for PlayStation five like double digits. But 1907 01:28:23.199 --> 01:28:26.960 it's down the hardest for Xbox. This is just them 1908 01:28:27.039 --> 01:28:28.520 kind of getting this out of their system of like 1909 01:28:29.079 --> 01:28:32.079 untangling software and hardware and be like, we're not gonna 1910 01:28:32.079 --> 01:28:34.199 have exclusives anymore. We're gonna keep making hardware for those 1911 01:28:34.199 --> 01:28:36.159 who want it. But if you don't, don't worry about it. 1912 01:28:36.239 --> 01:28:39.199 Our stuff will be available everywhere, including PC especially, but 1913 01:28:39.920 --> 01:28:43.199 we're talking PlayStation switch a lot more. I mean, this 1914 01:28:43.359 --> 01:28:45.399 just feels like the end of the sentence on what 1915 01:28:45.520 --> 01:28:47.520 has happened with what the Xbox strategy was for a 1916 01:28:47.600 --> 01:28:49.399 long time, right, and now they're ready to move on. 1917 01:28:49.520 --> 01:28:50.600 There's not much else to say here. 1918 01:28:51.199 --> 01:28:53.800 Yeah, I just it's gonna be so interesting to see 1919 01:28:53.880 --> 01:28:57.159 what that next machine looks like, because it is gonna 1920 01:28:57.159 --> 01:29:00.720 be the first Xbox ever that is and kind of 1921 01:29:00.760 --> 01:29:04.439 first and foremost trying to compete with PlayStation because maybe 1922 01:29:04.439 --> 01:29:06.640 say the Xbox One was trying to do that poorly 1923 01:29:06.960 --> 01:29:11.159 by being a TV box thing y. Yeah, but yeah, 1924 01:29:11.199 --> 01:29:14.560 it's like, you know, if you're expecting smaller stones anyways, 1925 01:29:14.720 --> 01:29:17.720 I wonder just kind of how more boutique and maybe 1926 01:29:17.800 --> 01:29:18.600 high end it's gonna be. 1927 01:29:18.680 --> 01:29:22.239 Is it just basically going to be an Xbox branded PC? 1928 01:29:22.680 --> 01:29:22.840 Right? 1929 01:29:23.239 --> 01:29:26.199 Even maybe just straight up run running Windows and stuff 1930 01:29:26.279 --> 01:29:30.800 like that. Gosh, it's it's It definitely feels like at 1931 01:29:30.840 --> 01:29:32.920 the end of an error. Right, Xbox isn't dying. They're 1932 01:29:32.920 --> 01:29:36.239 gonna still make hardware, but it certainly isn't going to 1933 01:29:36.359 --> 01:29:39.000 be the same. And anybody who ever hoped of things 1934 01:29:39.039 --> 01:29:42.159 feeling like the Xbox three sixty again, that's not happening. 1935 01:29:42.600 --> 01:29:46.960 Now. I could see them going down something closer to 1936 01:29:47.079 --> 01:29:50.399 a pre built PC path, even like bridging that gap 1937 01:29:50.520 --> 01:29:53.199 more between console and PC, like. 1938 01:29:53.279 --> 01:29:56.159 Even working with like third party hardware manufacturers that's the 1939 01:29:56.319 --> 01:30:02.600 same machines, the Phillips Xbox Yes God, and then the 1940 01:30:02.640 --> 01:30:06.640 three D strategy you know, yea great yes Sanyo can 1941 01:30:06.720 --> 01:30:08.279 come back and make an Xbox. 1942 01:30:10.920 --> 01:30:13.560 Xbox and everyone can make an Xbox. 1943 01:30:14.560 --> 01:30:15.520 I am Xbox. 1944 01:30:16.199 --> 01:30:19.239 I mean, I have no idea how that strategy would work, 1945 01:30:19.399 --> 01:30:22.239 or if it could work. I think if they, you know, 1946 01:30:22.600 --> 01:30:26.479 make it a lot like surface machine surface laptops, where 1947 01:30:26.479 --> 01:30:29.319 it's like, hey, this is our hardware that runs Windows. 1948 01:30:29.319 --> 01:30:31.119 Now this is hardware that runs the Xbox stuff, but 1949 01:30:31.159 --> 01:30:32.760 it's open and you can do whatever you want with it. 1950 01:30:33.760 --> 01:30:35.920 I think that would win over some people. I would 1951 01:30:35.960 --> 01:30:38.079 still just go with the PC though there's still there's 1952 01:30:38.079 --> 01:30:42.800 still a chance if they can make a very good handheld, right, yeah, 1953 01:30:42.920 --> 01:30:45.880 that'll be something. But again, like how long is that 1954 01:30:45.960 --> 01:30:47.720 going to take, how powerful is it going to be, 1955 01:30:47.880 --> 01:30:50.520 how much is that going to cost? I bet that's 1956 01:30:50.520 --> 01:30:53.800 something that's very you know, foremost on their mind at 1957 01:30:53.840 --> 01:30:57.000 the moment, but it's still a difficult proposition. And every 1958 01:30:57.600 --> 01:30:59.920 year that it takes kind of R and D to development, 1959 01:31:00.119 --> 01:31:02.680 competitors are already coming out doing that. 1960 01:31:03.800 --> 01:31:07.640 Do you think Microsoft could potentially try and I don't know, 1961 01:31:08.239 --> 01:31:11.600 go for that annual model that phones have been doing 1962 01:31:11.680 --> 01:31:14.479 for forever now of like this is this year's Xbox. 1963 01:31:14.680 --> 01:31:16.800 Next year we're gonna have another Xbox. 1964 01:31:17.359 --> 01:31:19.199 I think it'll be a little bit offset where it's 1965 01:31:19.319 --> 01:31:22.840 like this year we have the new Xbox home console hardware, 1966 01:31:23.319 --> 01:31:26.079 and this year we have the new Xbox handheld hardware. 1967 01:31:26.239 --> 01:31:28.920 And then maybe there's like some other iteration like a 1968 01:31:29.239 --> 01:31:31.479 here's the new version of the Xbox series S that's 1969 01:31:31.600 --> 01:31:34.359 very cheap, and then in the next year, don't worry 1970 01:31:34.439 --> 01:31:36.880 for those who wait in the big Boy version will 1971 01:31:36.920 --> 01:31:38.600 get an update and we'll have that ready to go 1972 01:31:39.079 --> 01:31:41.039 on year three. And I think they'll kind of like 1973 01:31:41.640 --> 01:31:43.880 kind of just spread things out a little bit that way, 1974 01:31:44.840 --> 01:31:48.359 and maybe not every year. Last handful of stories, Dragon 1975 01:31:48.399 --> 01:31:51.600 Age studio Bywear has reportedly had in size, with a 1976 01:31:51.680 --> 01:31:55.399 staff surprised by EA relocations. Yeah, this is like they 1977 01:31:55.520 --> 01:31:58.399 basically tried to say this in the blog but obtuscated 1978 01:31:58.479 --> 01:31:58.960 a lot of it. 1979 01:31:59.600 --> 01:32:01.520 There were layoffs at BioWare. 1980 01:32:02.560 --> 01:32:04.720 They are focused on Mass Effect, which means they're making 1981 01:32:04.800 --> 01:32:06.960 one game now instead of when they were making two games. 1982 01:32:07.960 --> 01:32:10.760 They sent some people to work at other stuff within EA, 1983 01:32:11.039 --> 01:32:13.199 and apparently a lot of people were told, Hey, this 1984 01:32:13.319 --> 01:32:14.920 is going to be a temporary assignment, and then they 1985 01:32:14.960 --> 01:32:17.119 were surprised to find out, no, you are permanent. We're 1986 01:32:17.279 --> 01:32:20.319 permanently working on these other projects at EA. Now you're 1987 01:32:20.359 --> 01:32:25.520 not going back to buyoware. So Bywear is now reportedly 1988 01:32:25.800 --> 01:32:27.760 around one hundred people, a little bit less than one 1989 01:32:27.840 --> 01:32:30.479 hundred people, and in their blog posts are like, hey, 1990 01:32:30.479 --> 01:32:31.960 we're going to figure out what it looks like to 1991 01:32:32.039 --> 01:32:34.880 make a mass effect now, So they're kind of saying 1992 01:32:35.199 --> 01:32:37.680 we're figuring this out as we go, and maybe that 1993 01:32:37.720 --> 01:32:38.039 game is. 1994 01:32:38.039 --> 01:32:40.239 Still very very far away, which I actually announced like 1995 01:32:40.319 --> 01:32:40.880 four years ago. 1996 01:32:41.159 --> 01:32:42.800 We're trying to figure out what that's gonna, you know, 1997 01:32:43.920 --> 01:32:46.560 look like in a very nebulous way even still but 1998 01:32:46.800 --> 01:32:49.960 everything depends on it, though, but everything depends on it. 1999 01:32:50.640 --> 01:32:54.119 And it just feels like, is that game ever going 2000 01:32:54.199 --> 01:33:00.119 to meet whatever expectations, expectations from fans, expectations from e A. 2001 01:33:00.359 --> 01:33:03.600 It's such a difficult thing. Like I hate to be pessimistic, 2002 01:33:05.439 --> 01:33:09.840 thank you, but it just it's it. You could kind 2003 01:33:09.880 --> 01:33:12.560 of see oll in ten years from now there's just 2004 01:33:12.640 --> 01:33:14.640 not a BioWare anymore, and that'll be a bummer. I 2005 01:33:14.760 --> 01:33:18.279 hope that's not what happens. I also feel bad for people, 2006 01:33:18.279 --> 01:33:20.640 you know, I'm glad they still have jobs, but somebody 2007 01:33:20.680 --> 01:33:23.279 who specifically went to work at Bioare because they had 2008 01:33:23.319 --> 01:33:26.600 a passion for those games, and now they're just like 2009 01:33:26.720 --> 01:33:29.439 working on Football Club or something else. 2010 01:33:29.600 --> 01:33:31.680 Right, Well, don't worry if you if you worked on 2011 01:33:31.720 --> 01:33:34.680 the narrative side of the Biowork games, they just fired you. 2012 01:33:34.840 --> 01:33:37.199 You're not working at AA. So yeah, was that last 2013 01:33:37.279 --> 01:33:40.239 Dragon Age successful? Generally is? 2014 01:33:40.399 --> 01:33:43.079 It was considered a disappointment by AA based on its budget. 2015 01:33:43.279 --> 01:33:45.079 It's all about one point five million or had one 2016 01:33:45.119 --> 01:33:46.119 point five million players. 2017 01:33:46.279 --> 01:33:50.560 Fans like it ah, it's really nixed. But mostly no, 2018 01:33:50.680 --> 01:33:51.920 I would say mostly. 2019 01:33:51.760 --> 01:33:54.079 No drama level. 2020 01:33:54.680 --> 01:33:56.920 No, it works as a game. 2021 01:33:57.239 --> 01:33:59.760 Mostly people are just like they wanted one thing, and 2022 01:33:59.800 --> 01:34:03.079 the characters and the tone and the writing didn't quite 2023 01:34:03.119 --> 01:34:04.119 meet those expectations. 2024 01:34:04.119 --> 01:34:06.319 I don't think it helped with like Balder's Gate three 2025 01:34:06.399 --> 01:34:08.039 being such a success that. 2026 01:34:08.239 --> 01:34:11.039 No right, And again, this was a game that was 2027 01:34:11.119 --> 01:34:13.199 going to be a live service game that they had 2028 01:34:13.239 --> 01:34:16.560 to re engineer basically save to turn into a single 2029 01:34:16.600 --> 01:34:18.520 player game, and it's probably a miracle that they are 2030 01:34:18.600 --> 01:34:23.560 even able to do that, but it kind of wasn't enough. Plus, 2031 01:34:23.720 --> 01:34:27.000 you know buy wors. Two games before this were Anthem 2032 01:34:27.119 --> 01:34:30.600 and Andromeda. So it's just been a rough patcher know 2033 01:34:31.199 --> 01:34:33.359 a lot of stuff. How much of that fault is 2034 01:34:33.399 --> 01:34:37.000 there's who told them to make an Anthem with the 2035 01:34:37.039 --> 01:34:40.640 Frostbite engine and all that stuff. It's just been unfortunate 2036 01:34:40.720 --> 01:34:41.920 and difficult for them. 2037 01:34:42.359 --> 01:34:44.399 It stinks because it's like mass Effect maybe is the 2038 01:34:44.479 --> 01:34:46.640 most set up for success. They are switching back into 2039 01:34:46.680 --> 01:34:49.920 a unreal engine and they will be able to bring 2040 01:34:49.960 --> 01:34:51.000 out a lot of people to help that know what 2041 01:34:51.039 --> 01:34:52.920 they're doing with that sort of thing. And I think 2042 01:34:53.000 --> 01:34:55.039 Mass Effect five kind of will have be a fresh 2043 01:34:55.079 --> 01:34:56.359 start in a lot of ways, so they want to 2044 01:34:56.359 --> 01:34:58.880 carry a lot of that baggage with them. So it's like, yeah, 2045 01:34:58.960 --> 01:35:01.279 they could really deliberate if they're able to get that done. 2046 01:35:01.399 --> 01:35:03.560 But you know, you look at fewer than one hundred 2047 01:35:03.560 --> 01:35:06.680 people working there on this game. Now, is that does 2048 01:35:06.720 --> 01:35:08.760 that game even have ever actually come out? I don't 2049 01:35:08.800 --> 01:35:13.039 know what helps the scope that they're projecting. Yeah, especially 2050 01:35:13.119 --> 01:35:17.479 with like how big the at least the first Mass 2051 01:35:17.479 --> 01:35:20.920 Effect trilogy was, right, they're gigantic space operas. I don't 2052 01:35:21.319 --> 01:35:23.680 see it's a one hundred or less being able to 2053 01:35:23.720 --> 01:35:24.239 pull that off. 2054 01:35:24.640 --> 01:35:26.720 They're still gonna have the problem and Drama did, which 2055 01:35:26.760 --> 01:35:28.560 had a lot of problems, but one of it is, 2056 01:35:29.159 --> 01:35:31.279 you know, Mass Effect for some people is kind of 2057 01:35:31.359 --> 01:35:34.640 just shepherd in those characters, and you know, you wrap 2058 01:35:34.720 --> 01:35:36.920 that trology Trosy up, you moved on, and I know 2059 01:35:36.960 --> 01:35:39.479 that there seemed to be some illusions to those characters again, 2060 01:35:39.880 --> 01:35:42.159 but how much can you really bring them back? 2061 01:35:42.399 --> 01:35:42.560 Right? 2062 01:35:43.319 --> 01:35:46.880 I mean, if Greena is back, Baby Joker is back, 2063 01:35:47.119 --> 01:35:48.279 selling you NFTs. 2064 01:35:48.960 --> 01:35:50.960 I mean, if I'm them, it's like I just lean 2065 01:35:51.039 --> 01:35:55.119 into it being a cheesy television sci fi show where hey, 2066 01:35:55.199 --> 01:35:57.520 we found a shepherd's DNA and we and for some 2067 01:35:57.600 --> 01:35:59.239 reason we need him back because it's like the it's 2068 01:35:59.279 --> 01:36:02.960 like the Star Trek for right, it's like where only 2069 01:36:03.279 --> 01:36:06.319 shepherd can calm down these space whales or something like that. 2070 01:36:07.039 --> 01:36:09.119 So you bring him back and then it turns out 2071 01:36:09.159 --> 01:36:12.239 Seth Green, actually the robot lady that's still alive, just 2072 01:36:12.359 --> 01:36:13.680 downloaded his consciousness. 2073 01:36:13.920 --> 01:36:15.720 Yes, Edie, and we'll be able to bring him back. 2074 01:36:16.000 --> 01:36:18.119 And then some of those aliens live live for hundreds 2075 01:36:18.159 --> 01:36:20.000 of years, so they'll just all be here. And don't worry. 2076 01:36:20.039 --> 01:36:22.439 They're still hot. They're not scars. Still hot. 2077 01:36:22.479 --> 01:36:25.520 Don't worry, still hot. All the blue ladies still hot. 2078 01:36:25.680 --> 01:36:27.880 Dan record is going to be completely satisfied with this game. 2079 01:36:32.640 --> 01:36:35.880 For audio listeners, Dan's eyeballs are now bulging out of 2080 01:36:35.920 --> 01:36:42.880 his face has hit the floor and his flopped out. Yeah, 2081 01:36:43.279 --> 01:36:45.920 I think they think it's still have fun with it. 2082 01:36:46.000 --> 01:36:47.720 I know it sounds like really cheesy the way I'm 2083 01:36:47.760 --> 01:36:50.119 describing it, but I don't know. I kind of don't 2084 01:36:50.159 --> 01:36:50.720 know what else you do. 2085 01:36:51.199 --> 01:36:53.079 I hope to make it work. I like mass Effect, 2086 01:36:53.239 --> 01:36:56.159 I like BioWare. I think the video game Mystry is 2087 01:36:56.239 --> 01:36:58.760 better with biowear in it in whatever form. I know 2088 01:36:59.159 --> 01:37:01.760 a lot not a lot of the same people anymore, 2089 01:37:02.199 --> 01:37:05.119 though I like BioWare, I want them. A lot of 2090 01:37:05.159 --> 01:37:07.680 the Massfect team is a lot of the same many 2091 01:37:07.720 --> 01:37:09.319 of the same people that did work on Masspect. Mike 2092 01:37:09.399 --> 01:37:10.840 Gamble I think his name is. They had a whole 2093 01:37:10.880 --> 01:37:12.640 list of people that worked on Masspect previously, so they 2094 01:37:12.680 --> 01:37:13.399 make a big point of that. 2095 01:37:13.439 --> 01:37:18.159 But you're right, I semi related. But like, after playing 2096 01:37:18.159 --> 01:37:21.119 through a bit of Citizen Sleeper too, I've realized I 2097 01:37:21.199 --> 01:37:24.319 don't care about wizards and shit. Send me to space. 2098 01:37:24.439 --> 01:37:27.880 Goddamn it. Space is so cool. Let me go back 2099 01:37:27.960 --> 01:37:33.159 with Shepherd and crew. Also, man, don't please please buy Awaar. 2100 01:37:33.199 --> 01:37:35.640 Don't ham fist a multiplayer mode into this. You don't 2101 01:37:35.680 --> 01:37:35.960 heed it. 2102 01:37:36.720 --> 01:37:40.880 Man, people love that mass Effect multiplayer. It wasn't bad. 2103 01:37:41.560 --> 01:37:44.359 But if they have one hundred people or so, yesday, 2104 01:37:44.479 --> 01:37:46.359 I don't think you're gonna have the bandwidth to make 2105 01:37:46.560 --> 01:37:49.399 that another hormone thing and that single player game anymore. 2106 01:37:49.760 --> 01:37:51.840 Yeah, And it's almost like, I don't know, released that 2107 01:37:52.000 --> 01:37:54.199 separately somehow, I don't know if you're gonna do that, 2108 01:37:54.239 --> 01:37:54.760 but don't. 2109 01:37:54.720 --> 01:37:56.880 You're right don't do that, just focus on this game, 2110 01:37:57.920 --> 01:37:58.279 all right. 2111 01:37:58.560 --> 01:38:01.600 PlayStation named a new old president and CEO as Herman 2112 01:38:01.680 --> 01:38:05.560 Holst takes studio role. This was like a weird thing 2113 01:38:05.720 --> 01:38:09.159 where you know, Herman Holst and and let's see a 2114 01:38:09.239 --> 01:38:13.640 Nishio were co CEOs of Sony and Interactive Entertainment. Herman 2115 01:38:13.720 --> 01:38:15.960 Holst was in charge of the studios, Nishoneau was in 2116 01:38:16.079 --> 01:38:19.279 charge of the hardware and platform stuff and dealing with 2117 01:38:19.359 --> 01:38:23.720 third party. They still have those exact same roles. It's 2118 01:38:23.800 --> 01:38:27.840 just now only Nishio is called CEO. So everyone's like, 2119 01:38:28.000 --> 01:38:30.079 is this a demotion for Herman Holst, And maybe on 2120 01:38:30.159 --> 01:38:33.119 paper it is, but really things aren't changing there very much. 2121 01:38:33.520 --> 01:38:36.560 This was more about like shaking out the leadership structure 2122 01:38:36.840 --> 01:38:40.880 as a total key who is like the airport apparent 2123 01:38:41.039 --> 01:38:44.439 to Sony leadership overall, who eventually will be CEO of 2124 01:38:44.520 --> 01:38:48.319 that company. He was like fixing, overseeing and getting to 2125 01:38:48.399 --> 01:38:50.760 know PlayStation very well over the last several years, and 2126 01:38:50.840 --> 01:38:53.319 now he's extracting himself from that, and so this just 2127 01:38:53.359 --> 01:38:56.159 seemed like the result of that. So not much is 2128 01:38:56.239 --> 01:38:59.079 changing at PlayStation other than all the other stuff we 2129 01:38:59.079 --> 01:39:01.000 talked about changing with like live service stuff. That stuff 2130 01:39:01.039 --> 01:39:03.720 is already happening, and this is not maybe directly related 2131 01:39:03.760 --> 01:39:05.640 to that, at least as far as I can tell 2132 01:39:05.680 --> 01:39:06.199 when I do the. 2133 01:39:06.239 --> 01:39:06.880 Reporting on it. 2134 01:39:07.039 --> 01:39:10.159 So yeah, this one caught a lot of eyeballs, but 2135 01:39:10.399 --> 01:39:12.800 it seems like PlayStation's kind of continuing as business as 2136 01:39:12.880 --> 01:39:15.239 usual after they figure out what was going on with 2137 01:39:15.239 --> 01:39:19.600 their live service stuff. Okay uh Ea shared pre alpha 2138 01:39:19.640 --> 01:39:24.199 Battlefield gameplay alongside testing details. Basically, they're the important stuff is. 2139 01:39:24.279 --> 01:39:26.119 They're going to do some early testing of this game 2140 01:39:26.199 --> 01:39:29.159 over the next several months. They might release this game 2141 01:39:29.399 --> 01:39:31.960 relatively soon, could be later this year, could be next year, 2142 01:39:32.039 --> 01:39:35.279 but relatively soon. They are going to have a single 2143 01:39:35.319 --> 01:39:37.359 player campaign. The last one didn't. This one will be 2144 01:39:37.399 --> 01:39:40.840 made by Criterion. They are splitting up development among Criterion, 2145 01:39:41.479 --> 01:39:43.880 Dice Dice LA that's now called Ripple Effect. A couple 2146 01:39:43.920 --> 01:39:44.720 other studios are. 2147 01:39:44.640 --> 01:39:45.159 Helping on it. 2148 01:39:46.439 --> 01:39:48.359 They showed a little bit of gameplay, some like tiny 2149 01:39:48.399 --> 01:39:50.439 little snippets like ten seconds at the end of a video, 2150 01:39:50.760 --> 01:39:52.680 and the video was mostly them saying, hey, we are 2151 01:39:53.319 --> 01:39:55.479 serious about Battlefield. We're going to bring it back and 2152 01:39:55.520 --> 01:39:58.199 it's going to be awesome again. Vince Sampella front and 2153 01:39:58.239 --> 01:40:00.359 center of this video. He now oversees battle field in 2154 01:40:00.399 --> 01:40:02.760 the way that he's never had before. So they're trying 2155 01:40:02.800 --> 01:40:05.359 to make some big promises. I I don't just put 2156 01:40:05.359 --> 01:40:08.239 it to you, guys, what does a battlefield. 2157 01:40:07.720 --> 01:40:10.520 That makes sense? And twenty twenty five even look like. 2158 01:40:12.840 --> 01:40:14.399 I would love to see them go all in on 2159 01:40:14.479 --> 01:40:16.880 the destruction stuff, because I think, at least when I 2160 01:40:16.880 --> 01:40:19.319 think like Bad Company and stuff, that was what made 2161 01:40:19.359 --> 01:40:20.920 it stand apart from other stuff. To me, it was 2162 01:40:20.960 --> 01:40:22.439 just like, oh wow, I can just like knock a 2163 01:40:22.520 --> 01:40:24.239 house down if someone's in there. I would love to 2164 01:40:24.359 --> 01:40:29.640 see like full red Faction style. Yeah. Yeah, it's difficult. 2165 01:40:31.239 --> 01:40:34.119 Battlefield has another it's like another gaming thing here. It 2166 01:40:34.199 --> 01:40:37.760 just has had misses recently, right Battlefield twenty forty two, 2167 01:40:37.920 --> 01:40:39.920 by the way, twenty twenty one that came out surprised 2168 01:40:40.079 --> 01:40:42.600 It doesn't feel like that long ago. No, it doesn't. Yeah, 2169 01:40:42.720 --> 01:40:45.359 that didn't do much. And then even Baffield five twenty 2170 01:40:45.479 --> 01:40:50.680 eighteen also didn't really hit with fans, and I'm like, Okay, 2171 01:40:50.720 --> 01:40:52.720 what did those games do that miss so much? Twenty 2172 01:40:52.800 --> 01:40:54.600 forty it was twenty forty two the one where players 2173 01:40:54.640 --> 01:40:56.640 are like, this doesn't even feel like Battlefield. This kind 2174 01:40:56.640 --> 01:40:58.479 of feels more like Call of Duty or something like that. 2175 01:41:00.000 --> 01:41:02.079 Can't remember exactly if that was the complaint. 2176 01:41:02.279 --> 01:41:04.640 I think I remember people complaining it about being very 2177 01:41:04.760 --> 01:41:07.520 feature light, because it seemed like that game came out 2178 01:41:07.560 --> 01:41:10.600 hot and they never got around to really improving that 2179 01:41:10.680 --> 01:41:11.560 side of things very much. 2180 01:41:11.600 --> 01:41:13.359 And of course it didn't have a single player campaign. 2181 01:41:13.399 --> 01:41:14.399 It was just multiplayers. 2182 01:41:14.520 --> 01:41:16.199 So I think people had an a d in their 2183 01:41:16.319 --> 01:41:18.720 in their heads that this is not worth seventy dollars 2184 01:41:19.199 --> 01:41:20.840 in a world where there are a lot of shooters 2185 01:41:20.920 --> 01:41:21.960 that are free to play. 2186 01:41:23.199 --> 01:41:25.199 Yeah, it's so difficult because so many people. It's like 2187 01:41:25.319 --> 01:41:26.920 you have to find a way to move forward while 2188 01:41:27.039 --> 01:41:29.720 also retaining the Battlefield DNA, which in a lot of 2189 01:41:29.720 --> 01:41:32.600 ways is kind of old school, right, just that general 2190 01:41:32.800 --> 01:41:34.000 kind of control point mode. 2191 01:41:34.960 --> 01:41:37.560 But it's when it works. It still does work, And 2192 01:41:37.640 --> 01:41:38.199 it wasn't. 2193 01:41:38.039 --> 01:41:39.760 That long ago that they were still having some pretty 2194 01:41:39.840 --> 01:41:42.520 big successes with stuff like Battlefield one, and battle was 2195 01:41:42.600 --> 01:41:46.880 very successful. Battlefle of Force twenty thirteen, Holy crap, that's 2196 01:41:46.920 --> 01:41:47.720 longer than I thought. 2197 01:41:48.680 --> 01:41:51.680 Yeah, I mean that that Golden era Battlefield or the 2198 01:41:51.720 --> 01:41:55.399 second Golden Era Battlefield. I guess three and four were 2199 01:41:55.800 --> 01:41:57.640 a long time ago, and really four wasn't It was 2200 01:41:57.680 --> 01:41:59.560 before the one that was plagued with online. 2201 01:41:59.239 --> 01:42:01.920 Issues for a long time. It had like people liked 2202 01:42:01.920 --> 01:42:03.920 the game, but it had a lot of connectivity issues. 2203 01:42:03.960 --> 01:42:07.720 I just remember covering that. Yeah, I think so. 2204 01:42:07.840 --> 01:42:09.840 They they said for this testing that they're doing, they 2205 01:42:09.840 --> 01:42:13.199 will have the traditional modes that they're known for, but 2206 01:42:13.279 --> 01:42:15.760 they're like they're hinting out, we're gonna try some new stuff. 2207 01:42:15.800 --> 01:42:17.399 So maybe this is where it's like lean into that 2208 01:42:17.479 --> 01:42:18.479 destructibility stuff. 2209 01:42:18.520 --> 01:42:18.600 Dan. 2210 01:42:18.720 --> 01:42:21.039 I think like, if you can make some new modes 2211 01:42:21.159 --> 01:42:22.439 specifically about. 2212 01:42:22.720 --> 01:42:24.960 Encouraging people to engage with that, that could be fun 2213 01:42:25.039 --> 01:42:27.920 because that is one of battlefield strengths. So yeah, but 2214 01:42:28.239 --> 01:42:29.479 I think at the end of the day, if this 2215 01:42:29.600 --> 01:42:31.640 game comes out and it's seventy dollars again and that's 2216 01:42:31.640 --> 01:42:33.960 the only way to play the multiplayer, I just don't 2217 01:42:34.000 --> 01:42:36.880 know how it competes against a raft of games that. 2218 01:42:36.920 --> 01:42:40.600 Are now free to play, not just Fortnite. Yeah, but again, 2219 01:42:40.600 --> 01:42:43.840 I'm so like, I'm like cautious of like, okay, so 2220 01:42:43.880 --> 01:42:45.279 we gotta go that free to play rude, and it's 2221 01:42:45.279 --> 01:42:48.800 got to be a very seasoned, pass heavy game. It 2222 01:42:48.880 --> 01:42:52.199 also doesn't sound good now, because you know then it's like, 2223 01:42:52.279 --> 01:42:54.279 what kind of cosmics you say? You can't just sell 2224 01:42:54.479 --> 01:42:57.479 more army fatigues, right, you gotta do weird, wacky shit 2225 01:42:57.600 --> 01:43:00.239 or a bunch of IP stuff, And how does that 2226 01:43:00.399 --> 01:43:02.560 work in Battlefield? You know, there'll be a lot of 2227 01:43:02.560 --> 01:43:04.039 people are okay with that kind of thing. To me, 2228 01:43:04.439 --> 01:43:08.479 it would come across as pretty ugly and tacky. Maybe 2229 01:43:08.720 --> 01:43:10.239 maybe you could do the titan Fall two thing and 2230 01:43:10.319 --> 01:43:13.800 just make that siggle player campaign really freaking good and 2231 01:43:13.920 --> 01:43:15.880 that only helped titan Fall two so much in terms 2232 01:43:15.920 --> 01:43:18.800 of sales. Actually, right, So I don't know, but we 2233 01:43:18.880 --> 01:43:20.960 love it. I would like I would love that. Yeah, 2234 01:43:21.039 --> 01:43:23.119 but give you a really good single player get paid, 2235 01:43:23.760 --> 01:43:24.159 and I'll be. 2236 01:43:24.199 --> 01:43:29.239 Happy throwing some some Stormtroopers that gets well, they work 2237 01:43:29.279 --> 01:43:30.199 and everything it turns. 2238 01:43:30.000 --> 01:43:34.079 Out, yeah, Arcane or the Star Wars one. 2239 01:43:34.159 --> 01:43:38.279 Sorry, yeah, because stormtroopers are already in there technically yes, oh, 2240 01:43:38.640 --> 01:43:44.239 usually okay in Battlefield game, but not Star Wars Startroopers both, yeah, yeah, 2241 01:43:44.840 --> 01:43:46.920 side by side and then Jeff Beckler in between all 2242 01:43:46.920 --> 01:43:51.319 of them.

Sounds like the game should be coming 2251 01:44:14.479 --> 01:44:17.399 along here relatively soon, although who knows when we hear 2252 01:44:17.399 --> 01:44:18.199 about it next. 2253 01:44:19.800 --> 01:44:20.079 Is good. 2254 01:44:20.239 --> 01:44:22.359 Remember we were watching that speed run of it a 2255 01:44:22.439 --> 01:44:23.960 bit at games then click, it looked really good. 2256 01:44:24.000 --> 01:44:24.920 I've not touched it still. 2257 01:44:25.279 --> 01:44:27.720 Oh it's fine. God. Yeah, I don't know how I 2258 01:44:28.159 --> 01:44:31.199 clicked in and managed to complete it. But man, I 2259 01:44:31.359 --> 01:44:34.479 really need them to deliver on that after credits scene 2260 01:44:34.800 --> 01:44:35.439 because it's right. 2261 01:44:35.520 --> 01:44:36.920 You're the one who told us about You told me 2262 01:44:36.960 --> 01:44:38.640 about the after credits scene and I was like, that 2263 01:44:38.800 --> 01:44:39.520 sounds awesome. 2264 01:44:39.680 --> 01:44:43.000 Just can we talk about that as a spoiler moratorium. 2265 01:44:43.199 --> 01:44:45.720 On what did Liza P come out?

We we 2273 01:45:10.680 --> 01:45:13.720 can do the thing. And then like a book closes 2274 01:45:13.840 --> 01:45:17.800 and then you see feet walking across a rooftop and 2275 01:45:17.880 --> 01:45:20.359 those feet are wearing ruby slippers. 2276 01:45:20.600 --> 01:45:23.640 Yeah, that seems timely.

About a 2277 01:45:23.720 --> 01:45:25.800 month ago, jan I would have been like, Okay, now 2278 01:45:25.840 --> 01:45:29.359 I'm like, hell yeah, give me the fucking Wizard of 2279 01:45:29.520 --> 01:45:32.239 Oz souls Like, I'm real into that shit. 2280 01:45:32.600 --> 01:45:35.439 Oh man, think about how cool Alpha bo would look. 2281 01:45:36.520 --> 01:45:38.159 Think about the flying monkeys. 2282 01:45:38.439 --> 01:45:40.720 Flying monkeys shit. 2283 01:45:41.359 --> 01:45:45.880 I mean, Liz of p already dealt with a lot 2284 01:45:45.960 --> 01:45:49.800 of the designs of like being big puppet people, of 2285 01:45:49.880 --> 01:45:53.479 course because Pinocchio. But like with Wizard of Oz and 2286 01:45:53.600 --> 01:45:56.159 how the Wizard is, that could be really cool. 2287 01:45:56.840 --> 01:45:58.920 And Liz of PTE didn't really have a magic system. 2288 01:45:58.960 --> 01:46:00.720 There's kind of mechanical st up.

Apparently in the book none of 2298 01:46:48.920 --> 01:46:51.119 the Wizard of Oz imagery was in it. He just 2299 01:46:51.279 --> 01:46:53.640 really liked it in one of that rules.

I don't give a ship uh last thing. 2302 01:46:58.800 --> 01:47:01.720 Platinum Games, a bunch of the people that worked on 2303 01:47:01.760 --> 01:47:04.960 stuff like Bayonet at Three and Banonet Origins have confirmed 2304 01:47:05.039 --> 01:47:05.760 left the studio. 2305 01:47:05.840 --> 01:47:07.159 There's like a list of five names. 2306 01:47:07.239 --> 01:47:09.079 But like the director of Bayonet of Three and the 2307 01:47:09.239 --> 01:47:12.479 director of Bayonet Origins no longer at Platinum Games. 2308 01:47:12.920 --> 01:47:15.479 Some of them might be going to is It's Clovers 2309 01:47:16.880 --> 01:47:18.239 clovers plural. 2310 01:47:18.520 --> 01:47:23.479 With Camilla and so. But some of them also might 2311 01:47:23.560 --> 01:47:25.760 be like starting their own thing.

So I was listening, okay, very 2503 01:56:58.479 --> 01:57:01.560 fun typo there. So I was listening in a game 2504 01:57:01.840 --> 01:57:04.960 mess Mornings on Friday and they were talking about E 2505 01:57:05.079 --> 01:57:07.720 A n B A NBA jam and then they brought 2506 01:57:07.800 --> 01:57:10.600 up Space Jam. That made me think, why haven't they 2507 01:57:10.680 --> 01:57:13.880 made a good space jam game in the NBA jam format? 2508 01:57:14.119 --> 01:57:16.079 Like I can see it now. You pick your three 2509 01:57:16.119 --> 01:57:18.920 tunes or three two or three or two tunes and 2510 01:57:19.039 --> 01:57:20.720 you go out and they have crazy weird dunks that 2511 01:57:20.800 --> 01:57:23.960 are like looney tune style, stretching arms, anvils, and all 2512 01:57:24.039 --> 01:57:25.800 sorts of stuff like that. I think that would be 2513 01:57:25.800 --> 01:57:28.640 insanely fun. What do you think what other franchises could 2514 01:57:28.920 --> 01:57:32.640 also do an NBA Jam style game? Thanks Sean from Denver, Colorado. 2515 01:57:32.920 --> 01:57:34.119 All right, exists. 2516 01:57:34.560 --> 01:57:36.720 That game exists, by the way. That game's real. It's great. 2517 01:57:36.840 --> 01:57:38.600 I had it on the Sega Saturn. I play it 2518 01:57:38.720 --> 01:57:39.319 all the time. 2519 01:57:40.840 --> 01:57:42.960 Yeah, same publisher's NBA Jam two. 2520 01:57:43.119 --> 01:57:45.279 Yeah, it's just NBA Jam but with Looney Tunes and 2521 01:57:45.399 --> 01:57:47.960 the Mons Stars and the kind of bad mini games 2522 01:57:47.960 --> 01:57:48.399 in between. 2523 01:57:49.479 --> 01:57:50.000 Is this real? 2524 01:57:50.159 --> 01:57:52.560 No, Michael Jordan's on the Government. 2525 01:57:53.199 --> 01:57:55.039 It weren't a much bigger deal if it was like 2526 01:57:55.640 --> 01:57:58.359 on the Genesis or something on the Station of Saturday 2527 01:57:58.359 --> 01:57:59.039 and just got buried. 2528 01:57:59.159 --> 01:58:02.800 So yes, was it Genesis and stupid Tim. There was 2529 01:58:03.119 --> 01:58:07.960 a NBA Jam clone Looney Tunes basketball game, but just 2530 01:58:08.119 --> 01:58:10.760 like going to the basketball game that was not Space 2531 01:58:10.840 --> 01:58:13.399 Jam themed. Yeah, the Space Jam one didn't happen. I 2532 01:58:13.520 --> 01:58:13.800 loved it. 2533 01:58:13.880 --> 01:58:17.560 I played it. Beat him up. No, it was. 2534 01:58:17.720 --> 01:58:20.800 Are you thinking of Bill Lambier's Combat Basketball? No Space 2535 01:58:20.880 --> 01:58:22.159 Jam I'm looking at I think this is one of 2536 01:58:22.199 --> 01:58:24.279 the many games you're talking about. Bugs. Bunny is just 2537 01:58:24.359 --> 01:58:26.760 punching the hell out of robots with probably one of 2538 01:58:26.800 --> 01:58:30.800 the mini games. Yeah, there's a little slot machine thing 2539 01:58:30.840 --> 01:58:32.399 in the background. That's a mini game. But I think 2540 01:58:32.479 --> 01:58:34.640 Drew Scanlon made one about the news space jam too. 2541 01:58:35.279 --> 01:58:40.720 Yeah, Al, you're about to pitch us a Wicked Ba 2542 01:58:40.840 --> 01:58:41.319 Jam game. 2543 01:58:41.399 --> 01:58:44.880 I think, oh yeah, Alpha Ba. She just like glides 2544 01:58:44.920 --> 01:58:47.800 across the court because she can fly, and then gull 2545 01:58:47.920 --> 01:58:50.560 Andda has like her little bubble that she just dunks 2546 01:58:50.600 --> 01:58:52.079 herself in as the bar. 2547 01:58:52.680 --> 01:58:55.359 There you go, Dan, watch Wicked. 2548 01:58:56.640 --> 01:58:59.279 It's concerning how much this fucking movie is coming up. 2549 01:58:59.840 --> 01:59:03.760 Just watch Wicked. I don't look watch it son hours 2550 01:59:03.800 --> 01:59:04.199 in a day. 2551 01:59:04.840 --> 01:59:05.279 Just watch it. 2552 01:59:05.479 --> 01:59:09.239 Just can't bring myself to what's it on? Uh TV? 2553 01:59:09.960 --> 01:59:11.079 No? Amazon? 2554 01:59:11.560 --> 01:59:14.560 No, Yeah, it's not gonna I'll give you my plex 2555 01:59:14.720 --> 01:59:15.680 and you can get it from there. 2556 01:59:15.720 --> 01:59:17.640 We do movie night once a week. Bank would hate 2557 01:59:17.640 --> 01:59:19.840 it more than I would. It's just ain't gonna happen. 2558 01:59:21.319 --> 01:59:21.920 I just watch it. 2559 01:59:22.000 --> 01:59:22.319 I want to. 2560 01:59:22.319 --> 01:59:24.640 I just show your shoot opinion on it. I would 2561 01:59:24.720 --> 01:59:27.199 freaking I hate it. I don't. I don't think I 2562 01:59:27.279 --> 01:59:30.239 do want to. Why Yeah, you you're not gonna like 2563 01:59:30.279 --> 01:59:35.760 the response here definitely. You like freaking a net and 2564 01:59:35.880 --> 01:59:36.600 that's fucking great. 2565 01:59:37.319 --> 01:59:39.359 Yeah, this is like a good musical. 2566 01:59:39.880 --> 01:59:42.680 This is a theater doork musical, and that's like cool 2567 01:59:42.880 --> 01:59:46.199 dark thing. Yeah, but it definitely has a much larger 2568 01:59:46.239 --> 01:59:49.439 appeal than that. I mean, like four hundred million. It 2569 01:59:49.560 --> 01:59:53.199 was like, oh, things are always the best, all right. 2570 01:59:53.279 --> 01:59:55.760 I'm just saying first, You're like, this is only for dorks, 2571 01:59:55.800 --> 01:59:57.199 and I'm like, it has a broader pill. 2572 01:59:57.359 --> 02:00:01.079 Oh no, it's supposed to be. They're for musical theater. 2573 02:00:01.239 --> 02:00:04.520 Considering I saw all the best musicals apparently in person, 2574 02:00:04.760 --> 02:00:07.199 and didn't move the needle at all from your bomb. 2575 02:00:07.560 --> 02:00:09.640 I just think we're not a musical couple. I agree, 2576 02:00:09.680 --> 02:00:10.199 they're not for you. 2577 02:00:10.479 --> 02:00:14.760 Yeah, not for you, all right. Next email comes from 2578 02:00:15.880 --> 02:00:18.720 an anonymous email because they didn't write their name. Hey bombers, 2579 02:00:18.800 --> 02:00:21.119 quick question. I'm playing Tunic right now and I'm not 2580 02:00:21.600 --> 02:00:24.239 really loving it, not doing that much for me. However, 2581 02:00:24.479 --> 02:00:27.039 I love the manual mechanic in the game. I actually 2582 02:00:27.079 --> 02:00:29.359 got out my original Legend of Zelda manual and compared 2583 02:00:29.399 --> 02:00:31.359 it to the manual in Tunic, and I was just 2584 02:00:31.439 --> 02:00:34.119 blown away. The commitment to the art and the layout 2585 02:00:34.199 --> 02:00:37.600 is really special. What what's a game mechanic feature slash 2586 02:00:37.640 --> 02:00:39.560 feature that you love that appeared in a game that 2587 02:00:39.640 --> 02:00:41.920 otherwise you didn't really like that much. Love the show. 2588 02:00:42.119 --> 02:00:44.239 Sorry for the email from work, but I would have 2589 02:00:44.359 --> 02:00:48.079 forgot if I didn't send. Now you're not from Oh 2590 02:00:48.720 --> 02:00:52.159 this is the emailer that wrote from a corrections facility. 2591 02:00:52.680 --> 02:00:56.600 Oh yeah, okay, I totally agree with that. By the way, 2592 02:00:56.680 --> 02:00:58.880 Like Tunic's a good game, but it was definitely the 2593 02:00:58.920 --> 02:01:01.199 instruction manual thing. I was like, oh, this is my 2594 02:01:01.239 --> 02:01:05.560 favorite part of this, which was very overblown I think 2595 02:01:05.600 --> 02:01:07.239 in terms of yeah, I claim. 2596 02:01:07.119 --> 02:01:09.840 Right, yeah that I love that, like instruction manual stuff. 2597 02:01:09.840 --> 02:01:12.000 I did not really like playing the actual game very 2598 02:01:12.079 --> 02:01:17.159 much with Yeah, well that's a good question though, good 2599 02:01:17.279 --> 02:01:21.039 to my head. Yeah, like like there's stuff like that 2600 02:01:21.159 --> 02:01:23.479 game where you like take the pictures, you can go 2601 02:01:23.520 --> 02:01:24.039 in the pictures. 2602 02:01:24.079 --> 02:01:24.359 I love that. 2603 02:01:25.840 --> 02:01:29.640 Yeah, that was the game itself amazing. I know that's 2604 02:01:29.640 --> 02:01:30.399 a very mechanic. 2605 02:01:32.800 --> 02:01:33.319 Was that that game? 2606 02:01:33.399 --> 02:01:39.920 Remember Quantum Conundrum? Yeah, that had some good gimmicks, right, 2607 02:01:40.039 --> 02:01:42.920 and then I remember the overall game being kind of blackluster. 2608 02:01:44.039 --> 02:01:45.960 That was one of the Portal people who made that. Yeah, 2609 02:01:46.039 --> 02:01:52.079 Kim Swift, Yeah, Kim Swift. Yeah, yeah, that's the feeling, man. 2610 02:01:52.079 --> 02:01:53.960 I'm glad you remember that. I was like Kim control 2611 02:01:54.000 --> 02:01:54.840 and that's what I could think. 2612 02:01:55.279 --> 02:02:01.520 Control quantum conundrum. I like the idea of. 2613 02:02:03.600 --> 02:02:05.600 Playing a pinball game where it control an army with 2614 02:02:05.720 --> 02:02:07.880 a mic like an Odama. I don't know how much 2615 02:02:07.880 --> 02:02:09.680 I really like playing Odama. 2616 02:02:10.840 --> 02:02:15.520 The idea of brutal Legend was awesome, like the gimmick 2617 02:02:15.600 --> 02:02:17.960 and the idea of RTS stuff being in there. But 2618 02:02:18.039 --> 02:02:19.800 it's like that was not what people wanted from the 2619 02:02:19.840 --> 02:02:20.359 actual game. 2620 02:02:20.960 --> 02:02:22.960 No, No, they did a bait and switch over there, 2621 02:02:24.640 --> 02:02:31.039 Oki Doki. Next email comes from Brian. Brian just has 2622 02:02:31.119 --> 02:02:33.640 a couple of nice things to say. As someone suffering 2623 02:02:33.720 --> 02:02:37.000 from chronic loneliness, all the content at giant Bomb always 2624 02:02:37.079 --> 02:02:39.239 makes my days a little brighter. I hope and pray 2625 02:02:39.359 --> 02:02:40.880 I get to have a friend group in real life 2626 02:02:40.880 --> 02:02:43.479 as supportive as you guys are to each other, even 2627 02:02:43.520 --> 02:02:45.760 though things in my life feel pretty hopeless right now. 2628 02:02:46.119 --> 02:02:48.199 Just in case you ever doubted yourself, you guys do 2629 02:02:48.479 --> 02:02:51.239 make a difference. Is someone trying to make it in 2630 02:02:51.479 --> 02:02:54.159 the online creator space, as well as reassuring to see 2631 02:02:54.239 --> 02:02:57.199 a space online that focuses on positivity and none of 2632 02:02:57.239 --> 02:03:00.439 that toxic bullshit.

It's since taken over most of our lives. 2676 02:05:20.000 --> 02:05:23.039 Were playing ranked multiplayer multiple nights a week in an 2677 02:05:23.039 --> 02:05:25.760 attempted an attempt to get better at the game. I looked, 2678 02:05:25.800 --> 02:05:29.920 took to YouTube and ended up stumbling on Valerie Esports. 2679 02:05:30.000 --> 02:05:32.840 As someone who's never really got into watching sports other 2680 02:05:32.920 --> 02:05:36.199 than World Cup euro Football, I'm now obsessed with watching 2681 02:05:36.319 --> 02:05:38.640 Valerie e Sports. A few of us picked a team, 2682 02:05:38.960 --> 02:05:42.279 got team shirts and watched the games together. Have any 2683 02:05:42.359 --> 02:05:44.680 of you ever watched any esports? I know Sean is 2684 02:05:44.720 --> 02:05:46.600 into EVO stuff. Just curious if you guys have ever 2685 02:05:46.680 --> 02:05:49.560 watched any other esports in what your thoughts on it are. 2686 02:05:49.720 --> 02:05:52.399 I always thought it was dumb, but now I'm converted 2687 02:05:52.439 --> 02:05:54.119 and I think it's great and fun to watch. Thanks 2688 02:05:54.159 --> 02:05:57.159 for constantly providing a fun, safe space on the Internet. 2689 02:05:57.479 --> 02:05:59.960 Steve Kingston upon Hull, England. 2690 02:06:01.079 --> 02:06:03.880 I have never seen these sports and I don't want to. 2691 02:06:04.800 --> 02:06:08.359 I watch it online sometimes, like especially like Evo that's fun, 2692 02:06:08.760 --> 02:06:11.720 But for like the team based games online, I'll check 2693 02:06:11.800 --> 02:06:14.920 it out maybe very rarely. When Overwatch League was first happening, 2694 02:06:14.920 --> 02:06:17.239 I watch, but whenever, like I'm in a position where 2695 02:06:17.279 --> 02:06:20.720 I watch it live, like when I would go to 2696 02:06:20.960 --> 02:06:23.039 blizz Con. They would have like something called the Overwatch 2697 02:06:23.119 --> 02:06:25.159 World Cup there. Me and my brother would just go 2698 02:06:25.279 --> 02:06:27.079 hang out, or we would even watch them do the 2699 02:06:27.760 --> 02:06:30.680 World of Warcraft kind of dungeon races things like that, 2700 02:06:31.760 --> 02:06:35.880 whatever it is. Watching it live always a really fun time. Yeah, 2701 02:06:36.000 --> 02:06:38.199 Like if somebody wanted me to go to see like 2702 02:06:38.239 --> 02:06:40.560 the League of Legends finals or whatever that is, I 2703 02:06:40.800 --> 02:06:42.880 haven't played that game of years. I bet I could 2704 02:06:42.920 --> 02:06:46.039 still go and it would be amazing totally. Yeah. 2705 02:06:47.079 --> 02:06:49.439 MLG used to do Southern Columbus, so I would occasionally 2706 02:06:49.479 --> 02:06:51.000 be like, hey, can I go cover this? 2707 02:06:51.119 --> 02:06:52.439 And I would kind of go there and watch and 2708 02:06:52.520 --> 02:06:53.399 they do Call of. 2709 02:06:53.479 --> 02:06:55.840 Duty and a few other things, usually Legal Legends or 2710 02:06:55.880 --> 02:06:58.119 something like that, and the crowd getting it excited always 2711 02:06:58.119 --> 02:07:01.720 made it easy to get into. Like Rainbow six, Siege 2712 02:07:01.880 --> 02:07:04.119 is really fun because they have really good camera controls 2713 02:07:04.159 --> 02:07:06.359 where they can like make the walls all invisibles. You 2714 02:07:06.359 --> 02:07:08.520 could see through everything really easy, kind of see how 2715 02:07:08.520 --> 02:07:10.479 people are moving around the map in a way that's 2716 02:07:10.520 --> 02:07:14.159 really satisfying. But you also realize they're just playing a different. 2717 02:07:13.960 --> 02:07:16.359 Game than you are. When you play Siege, it's like there. 2718 02:07:16.520 --> 02:07:19.720 It's completely different tactics, they use the characters and you 2719 02:07:19.800 --> 02:07:22.560 never you never not only never think you could, but 2720 02:07:22.680 --> 02:07:24.760 really it wouldn't make any sense when you're playing with 2721 02:07:24.880 --> 02:07:27.119 just a bunch of other chuckle fucks like yourself. So 2722 02:07:27.720 --> 02:07:30.039 it's interesting to a point for me, but it's not 2723 02:07:30.239 --> 02:07:32.359 not something I'm usually seeking out very frequently. 2724 02:07:32.520 --> 02:07:35.920 Evo goals though. Don't you see the sports Uh you 2725 02:07:35.960 --> 02:07:38.520 went to that? You saw that uh that one Gears 2726 02:07:38.560 --> 02:07:41.880 of War three tournament that one time? Oh that's right, 2727 02:07:42.039 --> 02:07:47.159 that rain Clan one Yeah, behind clears the Poison Pixies 2728 02:07:47.239 --> 02:07:49.520 or what were they called. Well, I think that one 2729 02:07:49.560 --> 02:07:51.800 guy in the ring clan through the match because he 2730 02:07:51.840 --> 02:07:58.119 had a crush Dan. 2731 02:07:58.199 --> 02:08:02.279 You've technically seen a movie about sports, The Wizard. Yeah, 2732 02:08:02.840 --> 02:08:03.359 it sucks. 2733 02:08:03.359 --> 02:08:05.560 They didn't put you in nubes. That's what you deserve. 2734 02:08:05.720 --> 02:08:08.199 You deserve almost. 2735 02:08:09.520 --> 02:08:11.640 They put him at dubes and like just bid made 2736 02:08:11.800 --> 02:08:17.279 to say something homophobic. Probably would have just probably in 2737 02:08:17.319 --> 02:08:18.079 the Sessler role. 2738 02:08:18.760 --> 02:08:26.319 Yeah, probably you got the dubes home with the role yucky. 2739 02:08:26.640 --> 02:08:29.479 Uh god. Yeah, I watched a lot of League. I'm 2740 02:08:29.479 --> 02:08:32.680 a recovering League person, but I do also like watching 2741 02:08:32.760 --> 02:08:38.680 competitive Pokemon. I don't think the commentators that commentate over like, uh, 2742 02:08:38.920 --> 02:08:42.720 the official Pokemon battling stuff get animated or hyped enough. 2743 02:08:43.199 --> 02:08:45.800 So I'm also throwing it out there if you need, 2744 02:08:46.279 --> 02:08:48.720 uh fun what's his name, kicker? 2745 02:08:49.720 --> 02:08:50.840 Uh, Pat McAfee. 2746 02:08:51.039 --> 02:08:54.359 Yes, if you need.
