00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:30.839
<v Speaker 1>Hey everybody, It's Tuesday, February eighteenth, twenty twenty five. Welcome

2
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>to the Giant BombCast, Episode eight hundred and seventy eight.

3
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:38.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm your host and your valentine, Jan Ochoa. What the

4
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:40.600
<v Speaker 1>heck you didn't show up to dinner? I sat there

5
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>waiting for you like a fool. The wait staff had

6
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.719
<v Speaker 1>no sympathy for me. I was offered no free appetizes.

7
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.320
<v Speaker 1>But speaking about appetites, we got the most appetizing man

8
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:54.679
<v Speaker 1>on this podcast, co Captain of the ship. He's like

9
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:56.960
<v Speaker 1>a crab rangoon because he's filled with cheese.

10
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:01.479
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Grubb, I'm I'm your chops salad. I am all

11
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.920
<v Speaker 2>those things to you that you need me to be there.

12
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:05.519
<v Speaker 2>It goes Mikey.

13
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:08.879
<v Speaker 1>That's right, just like things you need to be you

14
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>need a good vegetable course. And we've got the man

15
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 1>that's in the weeds because he's he's deeply rooted, he's

16
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>deeply seated, he's with the Gords, he's so he's he

17
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>is the wedge salad of this, not just this podcast,

18
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:25.439
<v Speaker 1>but this website.

19
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:28.359
<v Speaker 3>Dan Record, Wow, I have to assume those are all

20
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:30.519
<v Speaker 3>good things. Thank you, thank you so much. That's me

21
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:34.319
<v Speaker 3>what's a web salad. It's just a wedge of lettuce,

22
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:41.200
<v Speaker 3>like a triangle. Yeah, yeah, on top of a triangle,

23
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:42.560
<v Speaker 3>like just one big hunk of.

24
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:46.680
<v Speaker 1>No.

25
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.879
<v Speaker 3>I think it doesn't look as crazy as I thought.

26
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:54.840
<v Speaker 3>I thought it would just be like a big like crazy,

27
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:57.439
<v Speaker 3>like when you go to like seven eleven in Japan

28
00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 3>and there's the triangle get mixed with the sandwiches.

29
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:01.359
<v Speaker 4>Now just looks like a weird salad.

30
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.079
<v Speaker 2>I think I tried to order a wedge salad at

31
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.040
<v Speaker 2>a restaurant at PACKS once, and I could like my

32
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.800
<v Speaker 2>brain was conflating wedge and cob at the same same time,

33
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:12.800
<v Speaker 2>and so I got kept I think three times in

34
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:14.039
<v Speaker 2>a row while the waiter was trying to get me

35
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:15.520
<v Speaker 2>to clarify what I was saying. I think I said,

36
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.039
<v Speaker 2>codge nice. Yeah, it wasn't.

37
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't. It was very embarrassing. Actually, we got the

38
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.240
<v Speaker 1>man that has never embarrassed. He lives with no.

39
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:33.599
<v Speaker 4>Shape, Mike, just yet, please let him finish.

40
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:37.039
<v Speaker 1>Come on, dude, what the hell you're lucky.

41
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.240
<v Speaker 4>I don't have access to your HR apartment.

42
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.639
<v Speaker 1>We got the bad boy of games media. He's our

43
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:48.960
<v Speaker 1>own little sweet treat after dinner. He's he's a little

44
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.039
<v Speaker 1>cup of espresso. He's a little teara massou. He's our

45
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:53.400

46
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:58.599
<v Speaker 4>My like MANAUGHTI like little tearra masoux. That's that's appropriate.

48
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.120

51
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 4>his audio. So, Jeff, you said anything to me in

52
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:14.599
<v Speaker 4>like the last eight minutes before I realized that I

53
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:18.599
<v Speaker 4>could not. You heard me laughing a lot after your introduction.

54
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 4>It's because I thought you weren't here anymore. I can

55
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.759
<v Speaker 4>introduce you that I just heard silence.

56
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.280
<v Speaker 2>You threw a blanket over me and forgot about me.

57
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:34.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that was my best. Sorry, Sorry I erased you.

58
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:35.879
<v Speaker 4>You're the man who erased his name.

59
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:37.879
<v Speaker 2>Wow, Jeff Greb.

60
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.319
<v Speaker 4>Wow is the spinoffs we're doing it?

00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:44.439
<v Speaker 1>Look at that Valentine's Day was this past weekend. I

62
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:47.199
<v Speaker 1>hope everyone enjoyed it. If you're you chose to celebrate,

63
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:50.039
<v Speaker 1>or if you decided to get very sad and just

64
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:52.919
<v Speaker 1>do things for yourself, don't be sad because you did

65
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>a thing for yourself. How's everyone doing good?

66
00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:56.800
<v Speaker 2>Real good?

00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:57.639

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, real good?

69
00:03:59.400 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

<v Speaker 1>Okay, are you fine? Jeff Grubbs, Shit, what are you

71
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>doing so good?

00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Jeff?

73
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:04.120
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

74
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 2>I think it's because I slept.

75
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:11.400
<v Speaker 4>Oh right, Yeah, I did not get enough sleep. It

76
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:13.560
<v Speaker 4>was nice having yesterday off. That was pretty good.

77
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Also, most of my sports teams aren't playing, so I

78
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.279
<v Speaker 2>don't have to get upset over grown men losing games

79
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:21.319
<v Speaker 2>that I have no involvement in.

80
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:21.959
<v Speaker 4>That's nice.

81
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Sure.

82
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

83
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:25.319
<v Speaker 4>Are you like, are you like and you're watching that

84
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:28.199
<v Speaker 4>hockey tournament, are you like really invested in the US

85
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.279
<v Speaker 4>winning it? Or is it not really about that for you?

86
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:30.879
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

87
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:31.160
<v Speaker 4>No?

88
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.480
<v Speaker 2>I yeah, I'm like it's one of those things where

89
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:36.639
<v Speaker 2>it can feel very rocky for you know, the world's

90
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.279
<v Speaker 2>on fire. And not a huge fan of my government

91
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.680
<v Speaker 2>at the moment, but it's always fun to look back

92
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:44.360
<v Speaker 2>at points of turmoil in history and be like, and

93
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.240
<v Speaker 2>then those two countries played each other in sports, and

94
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:49.560
<v Speaker 2>it's like it got rough and tumble and violent and

95
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:51.399
<v Speaker 2>stuff like that, and then afterward they were all just

96
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:52.839
<v Speaker 2>kind of like, well, we're gonna go back and play

97
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:55.680
<v Speaker 2>for our teams in the professional hockey league together and

98
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.920
<v Speaker 2>hang out and be friends. Still it's like, in twenty

99
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.199
<v Speaker 2>years we'll we'd be like, oh my god, can you

100
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:02.839
<v Speaker 2>believe we went through through all that stuff? But at

101
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:04.639
<v Speaker 2>least we had that cool hockey game. I'm trying to

102
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.279
<v Speaker 2>look at it through that lens, and uh it's like,

103
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:09.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, the Canadians booed the national anthem, like okay,

104
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:12.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't, I don't care. But it made the game

105
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:13.959
<v Speaker 2>that much better because the players took it that much

106
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.360
<v Speaker 2>more seriously and so it felt very rocky for and

107
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:17.240
<v Speaker 2>I love that.

108
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:22.639
<v Speaker 1>Uh. I yeah, I I could use some relief from

109
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:27.480
<v Speaker 1>the government right now. Oh yeah, I Mike Manatti, I'm sorry,

110
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:29.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to generalize and ask you this question.

111
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.639
<v Speaker 4>Oh okay, I'm exciting. This is okay.

112
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:37.639
<v Speaker 1>Actually two things, Mike. One, uh, this isn't a question

113
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:40.160
<v Speaker 1>on you. But every time I see a sky Breezy commercial,

114
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>I just expect everyone to be exactly like you. So

115
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.639
<v Speaker 1>every person in the Skyrazy commercial, I'm just assuming, like, oh,

116
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:48.800
<v Speaker 1>they're all a Disney adult, They're all very pleasant to

117
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>be around, and you know they may have had lude

118
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:56.480
<v Speaker 1>activities at a rainforest cafe. Okay, I get it. We

119
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.600
<v Speaker 1>get it, Mike. But the second thing, Mike, I went

120
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:01.759
<v Speaker 1>to a play I got a milkshake and they gave

121
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.800
<v Speaker 1>me a pasta straw. Have you used a pasta straw?

122
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:06.759
<v Speaker 1>Is that a thing?

123
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:11.639
<v Speaker 4>Gosh, Jan, you unlocked a memory. I feel like I

124
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:17.439
<v Speaker 4>have probably either a Disney restaurant or some gimmick restaurant

125
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:21.279
<v Speaker 4>like a Planet Hollywood in the nineties. Once upon a time,

126
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:25.680
<v Speaker 4>I was given a pasta straw somewhere that sounds vaguely familiar,

127
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.680
<v Speaker 4>and I remember thinking it was gross because eventually the

128
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:34.439
<v Speaker 4>pasta gets soggy, right, and yeah, it's not a great feeling. Man,

129
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.560
<v Speaker 4>where was the sat Where'd you get the pasta straw?

130
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I just got it at a local burger joint, And

131
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:39.480
<v Speaker 1>like it's like.

132
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:41.000
<v Speaker 4>A bucatini or something.

133
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:43.079
<v Speaker 1>It was like a fat bukatini.

134
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:46.560
<v Speaker 4>It's like, okay, okay, that sounds Italian.

135
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:51.240
<v Speaker 1>It is, Yeah, fat bucatini. That's what they called me

136
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:53.240
<v Speaker 1>in high school. It was very out of place.

137
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:58.319
<v Speaker 4>Okay, Hey, do you think like looks like you think

138
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:02.199
<v Speaker 4>straws have two holes or one hole or what.

139
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.160
<v Speaker 1>We talked about this during Game of the Year.

142
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:19.639

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you know what, what the hell?

144
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:28.800

00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.799
<v Speaker 2>two years, like we have lives. No, I don't worry.

<v Speaker 2>having a good time all around. Okay, Yeah, that's good

174
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:04.799
<v Speaker 2>all around.

175
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:10.799
<v Speaker 3>You get confirmed with those type of views, right McMahon's

176
00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:17.039
<v Speaker 3>in there. Impossible in the Congress chambers.

177
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:19.120
<v Speaker 4>With the politics talk.

178
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:20.679
<v Speaker 1>But I can't fucking stand it right now.

179
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Gave it.

180
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:25.840
<v Speaker 4>It's rough, It's it's rough. It's hard on there to

181
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:26.360
<v Speaker 4>be a pimp.

182
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:30.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we all want to say that, Mike, but

183
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:31.440
<v Speaker 2>you don't have.

184
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.559
<v Speaker 4>To cut out.

185
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:33.960
<v Speaker 2>I forget.

186
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:36.080
<v Speaker 1>There was one year at the need to stop listening

187
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:37.080
<v Speaker 1>to hip hop Mike.

188
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:41.559
<v Speaker 4>The oscars, but I still cared about movies where it's

189
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:44.600
<v Speaker 4>like the best original song and the song that one

190
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:46.639
<v Speaker 4>was called It's hard up there to be a pimp

191
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:49.879
<v Speaker 4>or something like that, and they won and I never

192
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:52.360
<v Speaker 4>saw anybody more excited to win an oscar my life.

193
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:53.159
<v Speaker 4>It was amazing.

194
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:56.279
<v Speaker 2>It was the greatest thing using the hustle and flow song.

195
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:59.240
<v Speaker 3>Do you know is Mike who? I saw it in

196
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.919
<v Speaker 3>Chatt Crazy Mammia. But do you know what they did

197
00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:03.240
<v Speaker 3>for wrestling teams?

198
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:09.120
<v Speaker 4>Oh? Oh they did they do Mark Henry's Yes, absolutely there,

199
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:12.799
<v Speaker 4>someone's going to get their ass. That's a good one. God,

200
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:15.360
<v Speaker 4>wrestling exercise used to be so good.

201
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:19.679
<v Speaker 1>See, how do you expect the four of us to

202
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:21.919
<v Speaker 1>work on a fucking farm?

203
00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:25.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's hard there to be a.

204
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:33.039
<v Speaker 2>You gotta start saying that the one I can't say.

205
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, a lot of things you shouldn't say to be better.

206
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:37.840
<v Speaker 4>Don't you put it on a southboard? It's saying all the.

207
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Time he already did.

208
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.639
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, Sean is thank you Sean for that clip in advance.

209
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:46.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying on command, you don't have to make

210
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:48.120
<v Speaker 2>the electronics do it.

211
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:52.879
<v Speaker 4>I'm here, I got a mouth. Vocal courts and you.

212
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:54.559
<v Speaker 3>Get and you get paid for it if we bring

213

<v Speaker 3>it here at a clip of you saying I'm here,

214
00:10:57.399 --> 00:10:58.240
<v Speaker 3>I've got a mouth.

215
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Uh, well, you know what I was going to start

216
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:07.080
<v Speaker 1>with a different game on the podcast, but Mike just

217
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:08.799
<v Speaker 1>keeps digging himself a hole.

218
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:13.240
<v Speaker 4>So what better game to talk about.

219
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Then a game about digging a hole. Oh it's so good.

220
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:18.840
<v Speaker 2>I enjoyed it.

221
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:21.960
<v Speaker 4>I really liked this stupid hole game.

222
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I didn't finish this, but I did enjoy my time

223
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>digging a hole.

224
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:26.799
<v Speaker 4>Do the rest of us complete the hole?

225
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:28.320
<v Speaker 2>I completed the hole?

226
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:29.879
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I dug the whole hole.

227
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.440
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Okay, Well let's we're gonna describe it, but I

228
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:35.399
<v Speaker 3>am going to throw out the challenge right now. I

229
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:40.080
<v Speaker 3>think tomorrow afternoon, leading up to Blake Club, I think

230
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:43.799
<v Speaker 3>we have the Great Giant Bomb hole Off featuring us

231
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:49.000
<v Speaker 3>four racing to dig a hole the fastest, with punishments

232
00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:51.559
<v Speaker 3>on the line, uh dolled out by the winner.

233
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:52.759
<v Speaker 1>I like it.

234
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:54.559
<v Speaker 2>Can we call it a hole off? So it says

235
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:56.360
<v Speaker 2>a hole I think that's funny.

236
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.600
<v Speaker 4>Great giant bomb a hole off?

237
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:00.360
<v Speaker 2>No, well, no, you can't do it that way. You

238
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:05.039
<v Speaker 2>have to be like a whole off. B Yeah, okay,

239
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:07.679
<v Speaker 2>lot during the Yeah that works for me.

240
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. I can say that to Jeff right now to

241
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:12.840
<v Speaker 4>appease him. But let's not call it that Yeah.

242
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:15.039
<v Speaker 3>Where what's the status of the punishments? Wait, we'll get

243
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:15.919
<v Speaker 3>to the hole in a second.

244
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:16.799
<v Speaker 1>Here, what is the.

245
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:18.600
<v Speaker 3>Status of the punishments? I saw grab was streaming some

246
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:20.879
<v Speaker 3>Grand Fandango, I finished Crimson Skies.

247
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.440
<v Speaker 4>What was the The Sean has yet to start Warrior World.

248
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.000
<v Speaker 4>But that's not a super long game, so okay, sure,

249
00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:31.200
<v Speaker 4>he's like, it's he's not competing in the hole off anyways,

250
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:32.559
<v Speaker 4>that's okay.

251
00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I can I can see the heart the art

252
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:38.639
<v Speaker 1>for the whole off already. I'll just put us as

253
00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:41.360
<v Speaker 1>like the characters from holes. Okay, yep.

254
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:46.519
<v Speaker 4>From Sean. He's he's playing Warrior World. He thinks it's fun. Nice,

255
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.440
<v Speaker 4>nice pause music. Let's talk about that hole. The game's

256
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:52.960
<v Speaker 4>actually called a game about digging a hole. That's its

257
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.519
<v Speaker 4>full title. It's five dollars on Steam and every.

258
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Fun that's called that because then you get to always

259
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:00.600
<v Speaker 2>do the joke, oh what is that about? And everyone

260
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:02.120
<v Speaker 2>loves it. It's a very good time.

261
00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:05.840
<v Speaker 3>Yes it is. It's descriptive. There's not anything more to

262
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:07.840
<v Speaker 3>it than it sounds like. There is.

263
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.399
<v Speaker 4>You just you're a guy that moves into a house.

264
00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:10.919
<v Speaker 4>You got a.

265
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:13.799
<v Speaker 3>Backyard, you got a little weird shovel gimmick that's like

266
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.440
<v Speaker 3>got a battery and it just like MP.

267
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:18.200
<v Speaker 4>It's like a little you know, back and forth guy.

268
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:20.840
<v Speaker 3>And so when you first start, you're trying to dig

269
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:23.200
<v Speaker 3>in the yard and you're just the tiniest little bits

270
00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:25.279
<v Speaker 3>and flex of dirt are coming off. But then you'll

271
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:27.159
<v Speaker 3>find a stone. You'll uncover it and then go to

272
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:29.200
<v Speaker 3>your garage and sell the stone at your computer for

273
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:31.679
<v Speaker 3>a dollar. And then you start getting upgrades to your shovel,

274
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:33.440
<v Speaker 3>You get upgrades to your battery. You buy a jet

275
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:35.480
<v Speaker 3>pack so you get out of the hole. Because I

276
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:36.840
<v Speaker 3>saw a lot of people in my chat saying that

277
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:40.480
<v Speaker 3>like they dug in a spiral so they could get out.

278
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:43.440
<v Speaker 3>I did not think about that. I just dug straight down.

279
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.840
<v Speaker 3>And there was definitely a jet back right away. I

280
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:48.960
<v Speaker 3>wasn't buying it right away because I don't need it.

281
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:50.799
<v Speaker 3>And then there were definitely some times where I was like,

282
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:52.399
<v Speaker 3>this hole is pretty deep and I don't know if

283
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:54.039
<v Speaker 3>I can get a footing to get out of here.

284
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:56.320
<v Speaker 3>So A bought the jet back. That definitely helps a lot.

285
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:58.720
<v Speaker 3>I never saw what happens if you don't if you

286
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:00.960
<v Speaker 3>can't get out before the jet if you.

287
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:04.159
<v Speaker 4>Just yet when your batteries run, now it explodes, so

288
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:05.679
<v Speaker 4>you die.

289
00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:09.120
<v Speaker 3>Do you respawn in the whole progress is still there? Yeah,

290
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:10.399
<v Speaker 3>but you lose all your R that you have on

291
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:12.200
<v Speaker 3>your person. That's fine, that's whatever.

292
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:15.639
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Hey, my my issue with this game is I

293
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:19.000
<v Speaker 1>come from a different digging meta. Sure, I'm used to

294
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:22.679
<v Speaker 1>the Minecraft hold to dig and then I can turn

295
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:25.519
<v Speaker 1>my brain off. Here I have to actively click.

296
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:29.320
<v Speaker 3>So I yes, I heard in my chat that I

297
00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:31.639
<v Speaker 3>think Shoemaker on next Lander was talking about that too,

298
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:32.320
<v Speaker 3>and that being an.

299
00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:33.840
<v Speaker 2>I was planning on steam Deck.

300
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:36.039
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, when you plan, I played with the controller.

301
00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:37.320
<v Speaker 4>You just holding the trigger.

302
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the controller just does it automatic. I did it.

303
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:42.879
<v Speaker 4>That's a keyboard. I like clicking each time. Damn it.

304
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:44.399
<v Speaker 2>You're a better person than.

305
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:47.919
<v Speaker 1>Us, We get it. You can do well on the farm,

306
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:48.399
<v Speaker 1>all right.

307
00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:55.639
<v Speaker 3>I think for the whole off we can use controllers, right, sure, Yeah,

308
00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:59.159
<v Speaker 3>that's regular. Sure, Okay, controllers are allowed for the whole off. Okay,

309
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:02.639
<v Speaker 3>no ambas still though, right, Yeah.

310
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:05.600
<v Speaker 1>My fury bowser you can bring it around though, yo.

311
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:07.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

312
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.840
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, you buy lamps and dynamite like there's certain

313
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:11.559
<v Speaker 3>like lava rocks and stuff like that that you have

314
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:13.519
<v Speaker 3>to like dynamite through, and you know, it gets dark

315
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:15.879
<v Speaker 3>if you go down too low and you put lamps

316
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:17.919
<v Speaker 3>on the walls, and I definitely accidentally broke a few

317
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:20.279
<v Speaker 3>of my own lamps by shoveling them, and that's very annoying.

318
00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:23.840
<v Speaker 2>It's a loop game. Any game that has a tight

319
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.399
<v Speaker 2>loop is basically just a game about digging a hole.

320
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:30.039
<v Speaker 2>Like really, that's what That's what this revealed to me is, Oh, okay,

321
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:33.360
<v Speaker 2>I am making progress out into this wilderness. This just

322
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:35.559
<v Speaker 2>be in my yard. I got it as far as

323
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:38.159
<v Speaker 2>I can kind of get on the amount of resources

324
00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:40.279
<v Speaker 2>I have. I go back, I upgrade my resources, I

325
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:42.279
<v Speaker 2>drop stuff off, make some money, and now I can

326
00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:44.600
<v Speaker 2>go a little bit further next time. And also I

327
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:47.600
<v Speaker 2>have the capacity to carry more. So it's like, oh okay, yeah,

328
00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:49.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm just gonna do that loop until I get to

329
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:51.960
<v Speaker 2>the end. It's it's a very satisfying thing. It works

330
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.639
<v Speaker 2>in all kinds of games. Steamroll Dig two very similar.

331
00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:57.000
<v Speaker 2>The fact that they just kind of boil it down

332
00:15:57.039 --> 00:15:59.440
<v Speaker 2>to just what this is here reveals like, oh, just

333
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:02.120
<v Speaker 2>going through this process is a fun thing on its own.

334
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:04.039
<v Speaker 2>It's you know, a little bit like a clicker game

335
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:04.960
<v Speaker 2>with gameplay.

336
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:07.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, totally, yeah, I was working.

337
00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:08.840
<v Speaker 4>How about that?

338
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it's installed Firefox.

339
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:15.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh look at that. It's it's funny because well we'll

340
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:16.919
<v Speaker 1>talk about it in a bit. But I was having

341
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.960
<v Speaker 1>a very grand time, like going heads down in a

342
00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:23.200
<v Speaker 1>vowed and then Dan yelled at everyone in our little

343
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:26.679
<v Speaker 1>discord to play a game about digging a hole. And

344
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.320
<v Speaker 1>then here's this triple A game that is great, absolutely fantastic.

345
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.600
<v Speaker 1>My attention was wrapped for like a good at least

346
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:36.559
<v Speaker 1>half an hour to an hour playing this five dollars game.

347
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:37.919
<v Speaker 1>I love games.

348
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:40.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was like a good, a good little break.

349
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:40.399
<v Speaker 2>You know.

350
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:42.720
<v Speaker 3>I've been just like binging avowed for the last week,

351
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:43.879
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, all right, let me just hear

352
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:46.279
<v Speaker 3>your ninety minutes two hours. I could just dig a

353
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:49.039
<v Speaker 3>damn hole, nothing more to it, nothing deeper, no deeper

354
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:51.399
<v Speaker 3>mating or twist or anything really and then it's just

355
00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:53.519
<v Speaker 3>you're done, and it's like that was a satisfying time.

356
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:56.000
<v Speaker 4>I think there was a deeper meaning, but it's kind

357
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:59.639
<v Speaker 4>of a spoiler, I think to the whole capital list,

358
00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:07.400
<v Speaker 4>Anti greed, no man's an island. I am serious about

359
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:09.480
<v Speaker 4>the anti greed thing a little bit.

360
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I will talk about it during the whole off, Okay, can't.

361
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:17.359
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to get spoilers to the thing. Uh well,

362
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:20.160
<v Speaker 4>I thought the game. I thought the game was beautiful.

363
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:20.359
<v Speaker 2>Right.

364
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:23.920
<v Speaker 4>It's just like this perfect distillation of being a video

365
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:27.079
<v Speaker 4>game of what progression should look like like in this

366
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:29.920
<v Speaker 4>Like especially, yeah, that's the word progression and how that

367
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:31.559
<v Speaker 4>can work because you do start off with this tiny,

368
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:34.519
<v Speaker 4>shitty little shovel. You're getting a dollar at a time,

369
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:37.799
<v Speaker 4>and then you just slowly ramp up to you know,

370
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:40.039
<v Speaker 4>like when you get the drill, that's like one of

371
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:42.680
<v Speaker 4>the most satisfied it's ever gotten a video game. I

372
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:44.799
<v Speaker 4>was just like, oh, here we go. Now we're really

373
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:48.319
<v Speaker 4>party because again, especially because I was clicking for eachhovel

374
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:51.400
<v Speaker 4>with the drill, then it's automatic. Oh that was a

375
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:54.960
<v Speaker 4>huge benefit to me. Yeah, you're like, you know, instead

376
00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:56.680
<v Speaker 4>of getting a stone it's on it for a dollar,

377
00:17:56.839 --> 00:17:59.359
<v Speaker 4>you're finding gold and selling it for so much more.

378
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.240
<v Speaker 4>Couple of little secret here and there, super satisfying to

379
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:06.119
<v Speaker 4>like kind of set the lights where you want to

380
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:09.359
<v Speaker 4>to light up your path. Gosh, just such a simple

381
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:11.839
<v Speaker 4>idea executed about as well as it could be.

382
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:13.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean there's there's a time where it's like

383
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:18.119
<v Speaker 2>you realize this is how all progress works, right where

384
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:20.880
<v Speaker 2>you are digging one little thing at a time, and

385
00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:24.160
<v Speaker 2>then suddenly you look up and there's this like tiny

386
00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:27.480
<v Speaker 2>little spiral that you just naturally created that goes, you know,

387
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:30.240
<v Speaker 2>fifty meters above you. Oh my god, I didn't even

388
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:32.839
<v Speaker 2>realize I was that deep. And that is a really

389
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:35.680
<v Speaker 2>cool moment where it's like, Okay, cool, I really have

390
00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:38.640
<v Speaker 2>made a ton of progress, even though it never felt

391
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:41.319
<v Speaker 2>that way because it's one digging hole at a time.

392
00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:45.200
<v Speaker 2>I will say I don't super love the way the

393
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:48.799
<v Speaker 2>digging looks like, the way like a problem, the weird

394
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:51.119
<v Speaker 2>spires of dirt and stuff like that. It this is

395
00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:54.240
<v Speaker 2>a five dollars game, and it totally works for what

396
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:56.839
<v Speaker 2>this game is. But I'm definitely like, ah, you know,

397
00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:58.680
<v Speaker 2>I would have preferred if there was a little bit

398
00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:00.839
<v Speaker 2>more to the way the day, especially if you upgrade

399
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:03.240
<v Speaker 2>the shovel, but it just would have felt more dirt like.

400
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:05.880
<v Speaker 2>But no, this game does what it needs to do.

401
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:07.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it kind of bugged me sometimes where it's like

402
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:09.960
<v Speaker 3>it's easy to leave a couple of little floating specs

403
00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:12.559
<v Speaker 3>of dirt. Yeah, but they will have collisions. So as

404
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:14.599
<v Speaker 3>you're jetpacking, you're like, where is that thing? I gotta

405
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:15.000
<v Speaker 3>get rid of that.

406
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:16.920
<v Speaker 2>So when I got the drill, I would kind of

407
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:19.240
<v Speaker 2>like look straight up and I would jet pack out

408
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:20.720
<v Speaker 2>and I would turn the drill on and try to

409
00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:22.599
<v Speaker 2>drill right straight above me and just clean those up

410
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:23.039
<v Speaker 2>a little bit.

411
00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, a little bit, that's right.

412
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:29.359
<v Speaker 4>I love what Jeff was streaming Griffin Dango and you

413
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:32.519
<v Speaker 4>started talking about this because Dann wanted him to play it,

414
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:35.079
<v Speaker 4>and he's like, now, chat like, what what's what do

415
00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:36.359
<v Speaker 4>you have to do with the dirt? Do you have

416
00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:38.279
<v Speaker 4>to like then go to the dirt, like you have

417
00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:40.799
<v Speaker 4>to take care of the dirt, And they told him no,

418
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:42.680
<v Speaker 4>and Jeff was really disappointment.

419
00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:48.279
<v Speaker 2>My ideal digging game is that Eco game Eco where

420
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:51.160
<v Speaker 2>you have to account for all the dirt. So as

421
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:53.680
<v Speaker 2>you like are digging holes, like you can only carry

422
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:57.200
<v Speaker 2>like five blocks of dirts Minecraft like on your person

423
00:19:57.319 --> 00:19:59.519
<v Speaker 2>and then you can like take that to a wheelbarrow,

424
00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:01.039
<v Speaker 2>and so you have to kind of like make these

425
00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:03.839
<v Speaker 2>shafts through the mind that are big enough to have

426
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:07.200
<v Speaker 2>people down there, and these tools and these wheelbarrows so

427
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:09.119
<v Speaker 2>that you can load those up with like a hundred

428
00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:11.200
<v Speaker 2>blocks of dirt and then someone takes that up while

429
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:12.920
<v Speaker 2>you continue to mind. And it was like becomes this

430
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:16.799
<v Speaker 2>team effort, and it's like such a good representation of

431
00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:20.359
<v Speaker 2>like working together and thinking ahead. But this game is

432
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:22.960
<v Speaker 2>not trying to do that at all. Yeah, I mean

433
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:24.519
<v Speaker 2>got an hour and a half to two and a

434
00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:27.920
<v Speaker 2>half hours, just a perfect little distallation. Mic sivty five dollars.

435
00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:30.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's you know, it's always wild when like, you know,

436
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:32.799
<v Speaker 4>what's pretty obviously the Game of the Year comes out

437
00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:36.240
<v Speaker 4>in February, right, it's a front running for best hole

438
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:36.759
<v Speaker 4>of the year.

439
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:38.119
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, which one though?

440
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:41.519
<v Speaker 4>My whole or your whole or Jeff's hole, our whole hole?

441
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:44.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, we have a hole together, Mike.

442
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Our communist hole. Yeah, community holes, community holes. It sounds

443
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:53.799
<v Speaker 1>like we're very in deep with a game about digging

444
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:56.480
<v Speaker 1>a hole, but it also sounds like we're eating very deep.

445
00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:59.839
<v Speaker 1>Y'all talked about this, I believe last Friday, but of a.

446
00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:04.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm I'm definitely at the point where, like last night,

447
00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:05.759
<v Speaker 3>I got to the point where it's like, all right,

448
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:08.279
<v Speaker 3>you're you can't go back after this. This is the

449
00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:11.359
<v Speaker 3>final stretch here, and uh, I was getting kind of tired,

450
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:12.880
<v Speaker 3>so I went to bed rather than play at the

451
00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:15.279
<v Speaker 3>end of the game tired. So probably gonna be that tonight.

452
00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:19.039
<v Speaker 3>I'm right around fifty hours and I would say, Okay,

453
00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:21.160
<v Speaker 3>I've been doing that pretty completion this thing. You know,

454
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:23.400
<v Speaker 3>I've gotten every one of the like gold totems and

455
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:24.759
<v Speaker 3>all that stuff in every area. I've done all the

456
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:27.559
<v Speaker 3>bounties on every side quest and all that shit. And

457
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:30.279
<v Speaker 3>if you want, like the the more like intro level

458
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:32.799
<v Speaker 3>on what about is conversation? We talked about it quite

459
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:36.119
<v Speaker 3>a bit on bompcast Revengeance last Friday. It seems like

460
00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:37.880
<v Speaker 3>most of us are very very hot on it. I

461
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:39.880
<v Speaker 3>continue to be super hot on it, even you know,

462
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.799
<v Speaker 3>right at the end. But yeah, where are you guys

463
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:43.240
<v Speaker 3>at with it?

464
00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:46.440
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm about to go to the second area,

465
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:47.839
<v Speaker 2>but I did want to clean up some of the

466
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:50.599
<v Speaker 2>bounties before I went. I also have like a weird

467
00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:52.839
<v Speaker 2>side quest, which Danny, I'm just gonna ask your help

468
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.119
<v Speaker 2>with the one that is about like optional totems, like

469
00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:58.359
<v Speaker 2>go find totems in the world. Is that something that

470
00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:00.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna be I would be able to come back

471
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:02.400
<v Speaker 2>to or should I try to clean up anything with that,

472
00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Like that.

473
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:06.000
<v Speaker 3>First island, it's worth getting those like to at least

474
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:08.960
<v Speaker 3>have one full totem because each each area has six

475
00:22:09.160 --> 00:22:11.359
<v Speaker 3>of those gold things you can find and including the

476
00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:14.319
<v Speaker 3>base or the tower or whatever, and they give you

477
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:17.319
<v Speaker 3>passive bonuses. So there's like sex and they're all worth having.

478
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:19.880
<v Speaker 3>And you can have one like totem active at a time.

479
00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:21.640
<v Speaker 3>So you should, at least, especially in that first area,

480
00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:24.200
<v Speaker 3>get all six before you move on activate it, and.

481
00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:26.200
<v Speaker 4>Then you'll have all these passive bonuses going on.

482
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:28.480
<v Speaker 2>I have like just haven't really looked at it too

483
00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:30.480
<v Speaker 2>closely yet, is it like if I set that as

484
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:33.160
<v Speaker 2>my main objective, will kind of point me in the

485
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:35.720
<v Speaker 2>right direction? Or do I piece some stuff together you

486
00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:36.599
<v Speaker 2>can find.

487
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:39.079
<v Speaker 3>Or buy like a sheet that is like it'll give

488
00:22:39.079 --> 00:22:41.599
<v Speaker 3>you like clues on like this one sits the top

489
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:43.000
<v Speaker 3>of an amethyst tower or something.

490
00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:44.640
<v Speaker 2>I've seen that, so get that.

491
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:46.880
<v Speaker 3>But I will also say that if you don't want

492
00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:48.720
<v Speaker 3>to just do this straight up Easter egg hunt, there

493
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:51.119
<v Speaker 3>is a thing and accessibility where you can turn on

494
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:54.319
<v Speaker 3>specifically the gold totem things on your compass.

495
00:22:54.839 --> 00:22:56.640
<v Speaker 4>So interesting. That won't give.

496
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:58.119
<v Speaker 3>You a way point on your map, but if you

497
00:22:58.160 --> 00:23:00.839
<v Speaker 3>are in the area, you will see like a gold

498
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:02.960
<v Speaker 3>thing with an up or down, So like you can

499
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:04.240
<v Speaker 3>kind of make that a little shorter if you don't

500
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:05.440
<v Speaker 3>want to scour every little bit.

501
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Or you can have you know, you might try for

502
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:08.279
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. Then I might turn that on. That's

503
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:08.960
<v Speaker 2>that's interesting.

504
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:10.400
<v Speaker 3>Another way if you don't want to turn that on,

505
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:13.079
<v Speaker 3>is you get the ranger guy one of your companions.

506
00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:15.160
<v Speaker 3>He has an ability that just kind of like you know,

507
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:16.319
<v Speaker 3>ear to the ground can tell.

508
00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:17.279
<v Speaker 4>I use that all the time.

509
00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:20.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, highlights where everything is that will help you find

510
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:21.279
<v Speaker 3>the gold totems too.

511
00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:23.359
<v Speaker 2>Okay, cool, all right, very cool, I'll do that either way.

512
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:26.319
<v Speaker 2>About to go to the second area. I've also started

513
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:29.400
<v Speaker 2>playing on steam Deck. I was pretty wasn't sure if

514
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:31.599
<v Speaker 2>it would work natively on the steam Deck. Then I

515
00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:33.480
<v Speaker 2>went I was going to stream, and I saw once

516
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:35.519
<v Speaker 2>again on the steam page they're like, hey, the you

517
00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:38.359
<v Speaker 2>know the fault settings for this game run flying on

518
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:42.799
<v Speaker 2>the steam Deck. Now it's it's a bordering on fine,

519
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:45.920
<v Speaker 2>and there's deffinitely areas where it's pretty rough, but I

520
00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:49.720
<v Speaker 2>uses FSR three basically up scaling tech from am D

521
00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:53.240
<v Speaker 2>and I set that to like performance instead of quality,

522
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:54.559
<v Speaker 2>which is what it defaulted to, and so I think

523
00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:56.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting in a little bit better, a little better

524
00:23:57.079 --> 00:24:00.680
<v Speaker 2>frame rate. But it definitely still looks really rough because

525
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:03.160
<v Speaker 2>it's on the lowest settings and it's using the lowest

526
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:06.599
<v Speaker 2>setting of FSR, so a lot of artifacting and weirdness,

527
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:09.359
<v Speaker 2>but it's still that game mostly, And this has enabled

528
00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:11.880
<v Speaker 2>me to play more now, and so it's like people

529
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:13.799
<v Speaker 2>that were asking me, hey, can it work on steam Deck?

530
00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:16.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I would buy it just to

531
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:19.000
<v Speaker 2>play it on steam Deck, but maybe if you have

532
00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:21.359
<v Speaker 2>a Roger ally a little bit more powerful, maybe that's

533
00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:25.519
<v Speaker 2>a little bit better. But it does technically actually work.

534
00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:27.079
<v Speaker 2>It does function, I suppose.

535
00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:28.519
<v Speaker 3>But you can also do the stream thing if you

536
00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:30.119
<v Speaker 3>just want to stream from a computer in your house

537
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:30.839
<v Speaker 3>and that works.

538
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:33.119
<v Speaker 2>Really of course that works. Might do that. Yeah, I

539
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:36.200
<v Speaker 2>mean it's such a pretty game that That's why I'm like,

540
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:38.720
<v Speaker 2>hessend about that. Like, again, you technically it can work,

541
00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:40.480
<v Speaker 2>but man, if you're gonna pay money for this game,

542
00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:42.319
<v Speaker 2>you really should get your money's worth and try to

543
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:43.480
<v Speaker 2>play it on a Big Boy PC.

544
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:46.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm still super early in the game, about like

545
00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:50.680
<v Speaker 1>ten or so hours, and I've been enjoying every aspect

546
00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:53.759
<v Speaker 1>of it. Like I was a little worried because y'all

547
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:55.920
<v Speaker 1>when we were talking about it prior to release, just

548
00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:59.359
<v Speaker 1>very high on it and sometimes you know, expectations and reality.

549
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:02.240
<v Speaker 1>But I've been digging it, and I've also been trying

550
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:05.599
<v Speaker 1>to combat wise play it differently than how I normally would,

551
00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:07.920
<v Speaker 1>because I would normally just approach it like sword and

552
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:11.160
<v Speaker 1>shield or some type of melee weapon. But I just

553
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:15.440
<v Speaker 1>love how dumb the wand looks and how you were

554
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:18.279
<v Speaker 1>just exactly you were just like whipping that around and

555
00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:21.200
<v Speaker 1>when you get a crit and like you kind of

556
00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:23.319
<v Speaker 1>just like stick the dude in place and throw a

557
00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:24.960
<v Speaker 1>bunch of stupid spells at them.

558
00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:26.880
<v Speaker 4>So that's it's not a crit that so there is

559
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:27.880
<v Speaker 4>a stamina bar, it's.

560
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:30.839
<v Speaker 1>Like a bar like yeah, okay, then so when you.

561
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:32.880
<v Speaker 4>Fill that yellow bar, that's when it's like that combo

562
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:33.759
<v Speaker 4>attack thing, which.

563
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:36.440
<v Speaker 2>That's that's crucial to like you know, prime them with

564
00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:39.359
<v Speaker 2>your your companions, right, so that like vine move that

565
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:42.079
<v Speaker 2>the second companion has that holds people still really good

566
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:45.119
<v Speaker 2>for breaking their poise and you can hold them there

567
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:46.440
<v Speaker 2>and attack them a few times. And a lot of

568
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:48.559
<v Speaker 2>times it's a weaker enemy, they will just be fully

569
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:50.279
<v Speaker 2>poised out, and so you could just attack them and

570
00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:51.960
<v Speaker 2>you'll do that awesome attack every time.

571
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:53.839
<v Speaker 3>It's really great speaking of things that feel good in

572
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:57.400
<v Speaker 3>that game, Mike, specifically for you. You've been playing, right,

573
00:25:57.720 --> 00:25:59.759
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. You know the party camp or

574
00:25:59.880 --> 00:26:01.559
<v Speaker 3>you go back and you can level up and talk

575
00:26:01.559 --> 00:26:03.799
<v Speaker 3>to your companions and stuff. Sure, all right, so you

576
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:06.240
<v Speaker 3>know the feeling and Mega Man, the neys ones where

577
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:08.039
<v Speaker 3>you get to a boss door and you jump into

578
00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:11.279
<v Speaker 3>it and he kind of hovers until you get third drops.

579
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I know that feeling.

580
00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:15.240
<v Speaker 3>Yep, you want to leave the party camp, don't talk

581
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:17.559
<v Speaker 3>to the address stone and you know there's that barrier,

582
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:18.359
<v Speaker 3>that invisible barrier.

583
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:19.559
<v Speaker 4>W It's like do you want to leave here?

584
00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:22.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, jump into that and then say you want to

585
00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:26.079
<v Speaker 3>leave load screen it's day and then you land. It's

586
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:30.039
<v Speaker 3>the Mega Man things. That's yeah, I did that every

587
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:30.599
<v Speaker 3>single time.

588
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:34.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, gosh no, yeah, I still been playing and I

589
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:35.720
<v Speaker 4>like it a lot. I've been I didn't play a

590
00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:37.519
<v Speaker 4>ton of it this weekend because some other things I've

591
00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:39.319
<v Speaker 4>been playing that I can't talk about one thing we

592
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:43.400
<v Speaker 4>can't talk about yet. But I've been having so much fun,

593
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:46.480
<v Speaker 4>and I, you know, I am glad hearing other people

594
00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:49.720
<v Speaker 4>are enjoying it a lot. My brothers have jumped in.

595
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:51.359
<v Speaker 4>They keep talking about it. By the way, my brothers

596
00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:54.400
<v Speaker 4>also were like in my group messages right now detective

597
00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:56.599
<v Speaker 4>figuring out where we got noodle as a straw at.

598
00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:59.359
<v Speaker 4>It was a very local Italian place that closed like

599
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:02.440
<v Speaker 4>thirty years ago, called the Italian ovens him a plug

600
00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:11.240
<v Speaker 4>the Italian that's also call They used to have a

601
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:14.440
<v Speaker 4>peanut butter and jelly pizza. Apparently that my brothers remember

602
00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:15.680
<v Speaker 4>that sounds gross.

603
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:16.279
<v Speaker 1>Huh cool?

604
00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:17.160
<v Speaker 4>I would try.

605
00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:20.759
<v Speaker 1>But I've also enjoyed the writing in about a lot,

606
00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:24.519
<v Speaker 1>Like I kind of like how like the first two

607
00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:27.240
<v Speaker 1>characters you meet are kind of super cheesy, and I

608
00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:31.160
<v Speaker 1>just couldn't keep looking at this blue elf looking dude.

609
00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:33.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, all right, okay, am I gonna be stuck

610
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:36.279
<v Speaker 1>with you. I'll learn to deal with it. You're very nice.

611
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:40.039
<v Speaker 1>But then he quickly gets replaced with uh, you know,

612
00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:44.759
<v Speaker 1>this world's Garris, another blue character, another blue character, but

613
00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:45.319
<v Speaker 1>he's cool.

614
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:46.799
<v Speaker 4>But the first you.

615
00:27:46.759 --> 00:27:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Were denigrating gart the Yeah, god, hi, oh you're talking

616
00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:53.519
<v Speaker 2>about Garrick. Yes, the first Garrick.

617
00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:55.920
<v Speaker 3>Garrison, the first guy you meet, the little blue fuzzy guy.

618
00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:57.480
<v Speaker 3>And I think I was the first one of this

619
00:27:57.519 --> 00:27:59.599
<v Speaker 3>group to start playing it. And I was pretty early

620
00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:01.599
<v Speaker 3>on the scored being like this game kicks ass, and

621
00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:03.680
<v Speaker 3>then grubs like, all right, I'll start it, and like

622
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:06.599
<v Speaker 3>five minutes later, just screenshot to the discord of the

623
00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:09.480
<v Speaker 3>blue Fuzzy guy and grubs like, Dan, you're liking a

624
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:13.480
<v Speaker 3>game with this guy in it? Yes, I am, just

625
00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:15.759
<v Speaker 3>that you were like, No, Garrick's my dude.

626
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:24.160
<v Speaker 4>Not though you'll meet Yachtstley and I don't like the name.

627
00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:25.559
<v Speaker 4>I feel like I play Yachtzi.

628
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:29.640
<v Speaker 3>It's like it's like if Harley Quinn turned into like

629
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:30.920
<v Speaker 3>a weird rabbit.

630
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:33.680
<v Speaker 4>Lady, and it's like, I might be okay with that.

631
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:36.440
<v Speaker 4>I do like it. Does she have Tiny Tina energy,

632
00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:41.880
<v Speaker 4>She's like a tiny Tina's weird aunt. Okay, Yeah, sounds

633
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:42.599
<v Speaker 4>kind of fun.

634
00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:47.480
<v Speaker 2>That's also just the name of the next game, weird,

635
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:48.160
<v Speaker 2>you know.

636
00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I might check that out. Yeah, but yeah, I'm

637
00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:58.079
<v Speaker 1>really enjoying my time with a vowed I like all

638
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:00.759
<v Speaker 1>the fungus stuff. The game is very super fucking pretty.

639
00:29:01.240 --> 00:29:04.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's just it doesn't look like every like fantasy

640
00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:06.000
<v Speaker 3>trope thing. Like it's like kind of a it's got

641
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:07.799
<v Speaker 3>a unique feel to it. And I like just the

642
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:09.880
<v Speaker 3>setup of the story of like you coming in from

643
00:29:09.880 --> 00:29:12.359
<v Speaker 3>this a Darian, you know, army with a thing for

644
00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:14.279
<v Speaker 3>the emperor, and then you just realizing it's like, ah,

645
00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:15.359
<v Speaker 3>everyone here fucking hates me.

646
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:18.119
<v Speaker 4>Wait do we say, am I bad? What's the does

647
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:18.960
<v Speaker 4>Averia suck?

648
00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:21.440
<v Speaker 2>And like, I think that's pretty well worn territory for

649
00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:25.119
<v Speaker 2>the for the genre, but it's like it's that's completely fine.

650
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm expecting well worn, you know, like wrung out storytelling

651
00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:32.680
<v Speaker 2>from a fantasy game these days. Just do like if

652
00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:34.880
<v Speaker 2>you're going to operate in that realm, just kind of

653
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:37.400
<v Speaker 2>make sure that it's fun and enjoyable and like it

654
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:40.400
<v Speaker 2>gives me a propellant as a player character, which one

655
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:43.279
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent they nail. I mean, the setup, this isn't

656
00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:45.200
<v Speaker 2>really a spoiler. This is the setup to the game.

657
00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:48.119
<v Speaker 2>You walk into the main town and your character gets

658
00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:51.559
<v Speaker 2>assassinated and you God brings you back to life, and

659
00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:54.720
<v Speaker 2>so you're investigating your own murder like that is such

660
00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:57.079
<v Speaker 2>a good way to keep players invested in what is

661
00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:59.359
<v Speaker 2>happening in the story, because it's like, oh, okay, I

662
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:01.400
<v Speaker 2>have a personal stake in this. I want to know

663
00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:03.400
<v Speaker 2>what's going on there, and that leads to one thing,

664
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:05.880
<v Speaker 2>leads to another, and you unravel more and more of

665
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:08.680
<v Speaker 2>like what is happening in this world, and so it's

666
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:11.640
<v Speaker 2>like all that stuff. It nails, And so I'm like,

667
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:14.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm a little bit confused about some of the criticism

668
00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:16.960
<v Speaker 2>about its story where people are really just like, I

669
00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:19.400
<v Speaker 2>don't They're expecting a lot more from it, And I

670
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:22.640
<v Speaker 2>guess that comes from Obsidian made fall Out New Vegas,

671
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:25.440
<v Speaker 2>and I guess this is not fall Out New Vegas.

672
00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:27.480
<v Speaker 2>This was never trying to be that game though. It's

673
00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:30.000
<v Speaker 2>a very different game, and it nails what it's going for.

674
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:32.319
<v Speaker 2>So I'm just like, I'm just gonna play this game

675
00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:32.960
<v Speaker 2>out what it is.

676
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:33.400
<v Speaker 1>That's right.

677
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:35.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I never put this together, but now chat pointing

678
00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:37.640
<v Speaker 4>it out that whole you get you get killing it

679
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:40.200
<v Speaker 4>the solve your own mirth thing that's also the starting

680
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:43.960
<v Speaker 4>setup of New Vegas. That's sure, yeah, yeah, right, But

681
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:46.480
<v Speaker 4>going back to just the way the game looks and

682
00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:49.319
<v Speaker 4>I think it's so important for this game to have

683
00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:54.079
<v Speaker 4>this sort of stunning and very identifiable art style. Like

684
00:30:54.119 --> 00:30:56.519
<v Speaker 4>watching that State of Play last week, there was a

685
00:30:56.519 --> 00:30:58.960
<v Speaker 4>point where there were all these games, especially this character

686
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.559
<v Speaker 4>action games don't look bad, but they look so similar.

687
00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:06.319
<v Speaker 4>I love the fact that if you showed me a

688
00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:09.400
<v Speaker 4>screenshot of a Vowed, a random screenshot from almost anywhere,

689
00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:13.119
<v Speaker 4>I would probably be able to say that's from a Vowed, right.

690
00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:15.000
<v Speaker 4>There's just a distinctiveness to it.

691
00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

692
00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:17.720
<v Speaker 2>God.

693
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:20.720
<v Speaker 1>The other thing about the writing and the look that

694
00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:23.279
<v Speaker 1>I enjoy is I made my dude just have like

695
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:27.160
<v Speaker 1>a tree face, and I love that everyone.

696
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:32.960
<v Speaker 4>With Yeah, I was such a coward with my godlike face.

697
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:35.240
<v Speaker 4>I picked the least distinct one because I, like, I

698
00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:37.279
<v Speaker 4>didn't real quite understand what it was like, I don't

699
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:39.640
<v Speaker 4>I want to have a giant fungus on my face,

700
00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:41.359
<v Speaker 4>And now I realized it's a very important part of

701
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:43.480
<v Speaker 4>the story. It's like, I'm a coward. Did you do

702
00:31:43.519 --> 00:31:45.000
<v Speaker 4>the one where it's just like a couple like like

703
00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:47.400
<v Speaker 4>little red things? Oh, yeah, that's what I didn't do. Yeah,

704
00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:48.319
<v Speaker 4>exact same.

705
00:31:50.519 --> 00:31:53.119
<v Speaker 3>Looks like seth Rawlins with a couple like red like

706
00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:54.880
<v Speaker 3>under a you know football pant.

707
00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:57.599
<v Speaker 2>My guys just will farrow with the horns and then

708
00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:01.359
<v Speaker 2>like flowers on a yeah guy looks, yeah, I'm very

709
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:02.160
<v Speaker 2>happy with my man.

710
00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:02.920
<v Speaker 4>Good.

711
00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Uh well, it sounds like we're all going to keep

712
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:09.200
<v Speaker 1>playing that, and I'm going to keep driving and keep driving.

713
00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I've talked a little bit about this, but it is

714
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:15.319
<v Speaker 1>Oregon Trail basically, right, you.

715
00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:17.880
<v Speaker 2>How are like, so you've been playing it for like

716
00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:20.319
<v Speaker 2>the last couple of weeks. You've stuck with it. It's

717
00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:22.480
<v Speaker 2>like kind of kept giving you more stuff to engage

718
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:22.680
<v Speaker 2>with it.

719
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I'll stick with it further. I do

720
00:32:26.519 --> 00:32:30.039
<v Speaker 1>enjoy the vibe. I enjoy the look of it. I

721
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:32.680
<v Speaker 1>wish they had the option, though, to turn off like

722
00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:36.039
<v Speaker 1>the stylized like retro text and just have plain text

723
00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:37.799
<v Speaker 1>because sometimes it hurts my eyes.

724
00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, give me some comic sance or my mild dyslexia.

725
00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:43.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, give me some papyrus and then we'll we'll talk.

726
00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:47.839
<v Speaker 1>Bring me to the way of water. But similar to

727
00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:51.359
<v Speaker 1>an organ trail, you have this gigantic map and the

728
00:32:51.720 --> 00:32:53.680
<v Speaker 1>you have like an end destination of like okay, you

729
00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:55.880
<v Speaker 1>got to go all the way over here, but to

730
00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:57.960
<v Speaker 1>get all the way to like the right side of

731
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:00.440
<v Speaker 1>the map, you have to make several stops, and then

732
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:03.279
<v Speaker 1>once you go through those stops on the way, you

733
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:07.359
<v Speaker 1>have a bunch of random encounters. And sometimes those random

734
00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:12.920
<v Speaker 1>encounters are a traffic jam, a flat tire, or road rage,

735
00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:18.839
<v Speaker 1>and the game will pop up different different icons and

736
00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:25.599
<v Speaker 1>those different icons will target your different resources. So maybe

737
00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:28.640
<v Speaker 1>in this turn you're you're going to lose gas if

738
00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:31.880
<v Speaker 1>you don't take care of it with these cards you have.

739
00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:34.559
<v Speaker 1>Because it is also on top of an organ trail,

740
00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:38.039
<v Speaker 1>it is also a card game as well, where you

741
00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:41.440
<v Speaker 1>have a different ability to attack the gas or attack

742
00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:47.559
<v Speaker 1>your energy, your hunger, your car's health, and during those

743
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:51.279
<v Speaker 1>random encounters, you are trying to conserve as much energy

744
00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:54.440
<v Speaker 1>as possible. When you pick up a hitch hiker or

745
00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:58.200
<v Speaker 1>a friend, you also gain their abilities, so you can

746
00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:02.319
<v Speaker 1>switch off to like, oh, this high hitchhiker. Her abilities

747
00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:07.680
<v Speaker 1>target every little icon or pip that will target my

748
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:11.679
<v Speaker 1>car health or my energy, or she will buff me

749
00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:15.360
<v Speaker 1>and give me an extra turn or something. And you

750
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:18.400
<v Speaker 1>were also leveling up your hitchhikers as you go, depending

751
00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:20.719
<v Speaker 1>on the car you choose, and when you first start

752
00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:24.280
<v Speaker 1>a run, you're only given like an old beat up Camaro,

753
00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:30.840
<v Speaker 1>and you are upgrading that by putting in a grid

754
00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:34.280
<v Speaker 1>similar to a resident evil different parts. And also you

755
00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:37.320
<v Speaker 1>gotta get some food in there to heal you up

756
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:40.960
<v Speaker 1>or to boost your energy. It's you were managing a

757
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:44.159
<v Speaker 1>lot of different resources, and I, like I said, I

758
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:46.639
<v Speaker 1>enjoy the vibe, it's just very hard and hurts my

759
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:50.159
<v Speaker 1>eyes to read it sometimes. Also, like the flow of

760
00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:55.079
<v Speaker 1>the game does kind of get stale because you were

761
00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:59.800
<v Speaker 1>just doing the same random encounters, Like even if they

762
00:34:59.840 --> 00:35:03.039
<v Speaker 1>are different instances of different things, you were still gameplay

763
00:35:03.039 --> 00:35:05.159
<v Speaker 1>wise doing the same thing, and it's kind of gotten

764
00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:10.880
<v Speaker 1>old for me. You do get to do fun activities

765
00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:13.400
<v Speaker 1>when you were like kind of going to your different destinations.

766
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Like one of the very first things they have you

767
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:17.559
<v Speaker 1>do is like, oh, you can pick up a job

768
00:35:17.639 --> 00:35:22.440
<v Speaker 1>to deliver this band's equipment to a different destination. And

769
00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:24.840
<v Speaker 1>for me, it worked out that I would have to

770
00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:28.800
<v Speaker 1>go back to different map pips and then go to

771
00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:34.400
<v Speaker 1>a different route, so that took a while. But if

772
00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:37.199
<v Speaker 1>Oregon Trail was your jam and you kind of just

773
00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:41.440
<v Speaker 1>like vibing out and doing some light I wouldn't say tactics,

774
00:35:41.480 --> 00:35:45.079
<v Speaker 1>but like card based mechanics. Maybe keep Driving is your jam.

775
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:49.400
<v Speaker 1>The music in it is fantastic, though, so I might

776
00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:50.719
<v Speaker 1>actually pick up the soundtrack.

777
00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:54.239
<v Speaker 3>I just saw the title of it and I was like, ooh,

778
00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:56.480
<v Speaker 3>I wonder if this is like speed, if it's like

779
00:35:56.480 --> 00:35:58.320
<v Speaker 3>a gimmick where like, oh, you can't stop driving, you

780
00:35:58.360 --> 00:35:59.079
<v Speaker 3>got to keep driving?

781
00:35:59.119 --> 00:35:59.880
<v Speaker 4>That sound like for me.

782
00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:02.320
<v Speaker 3>I google it and the first line on steam is

783
00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:05.559
<v Speaker 3>keep Driving is an atmospheric management RPG.

784
00:36:06.199 --> 00:36:08.480
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I think I had to read on that one.

785
00:36:09.320 --> 00:36:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, uh it is. It is definitely not that, but

786
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:15.360
<v Speaker 1>it is a new take on a classic of Oregon

787
00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Trail and yeah, Organ Trail FTL that.

788
00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Sort of thing.

789
00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:20.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I have so much nostalgia for Oregon Trail that yeah,

790
00:36:20.639 --> 00:36:24.400
<v Speaker 4>that's kind of as me interested in this was I forget,

791
00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:27.519
<v Speaker 4>is there like a destination that you're really trying to

792
00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:28.199
<v Speaker 4>get to, like an.

793
00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Like the right side of the map. I forget the

794
00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:33.960
<v Speaker 1>specific destination they plot.

795
00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:35.280
<v Speaker 4>That's not where Organ is.

796
00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well depends where you start. Yeah, yeah, you're right.

797
00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:41.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, because yeah, your car is going from left to

798
00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:43.840
<v Speaker 4>right here, so it's like the opposite of Oregon Trail

799
00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:45.760
<v Speaker 4>and everything is right to left on that one.

800
00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:49.119
<v Speaker 1>Speaking about a classic. I don't know who's been playing it,

801
00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:51.320
<v Speaker 1>but someone had put Overwatch Classic.

802
00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. We played this on Friday, and I wanted to

803
00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:58.159
<v Speaker 2>bring it up because I haven't played this before.

804
00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:00.599
<v Speaker 1>Is this like Marvel Rivals?

805
00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:04.400
<v Speaker 2>It's a market, it's a Marvel Rivals like And it

806
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:07.920
<v Speaker 2>was a very good time and I had not played

807
00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:11.400
<v Speaker 2>much Overwatch too at all. Frankly, I haven't played much

808
00:37:11.400 --> 00:37:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Overwatch since they've changed many of the characters. I don't

809
00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:16.519
<v Speaker 2>know when they do did most of that? Maybe that

810
00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:19.360
<v Speaker 2>was Overwatch too. Either way, I was like going back

811
00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:21.519
<v Speaker 2>to this and playing with you know, Mike and Sean,

812
00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:25.719
<v Speaker 2>and it was like, oh, okay. They keep talking about

813
00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:27.639
<v Speaker 2>how oh that this character still plays the way they

814
00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:30.079
<v Speaker 2>didn't originally as opposed to how they play now. I'm like,

815
00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:32.760
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, they changed my may excuse me, and

816
00:37:32.800 --> 00:37:34.760
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of these other characters. They don't function the

817
00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:36.559
<v Speaker 2>way that I would want them to function. That's crazy.

818
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:40.480
<v Speaker 2>You absolutely need Overwatch Classic if that's the case. I

819
00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:42.920
<v Speaker 2>had a really good time and was reminded, oh, Overwatch

820
00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:45.280
<v Speaker 2>a very good video game. It was a good time.

821
00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:48.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was so fun. I played so much of

822
00:37:48.639 --> 00:37:52.559
<v Speaker 4>original Overwatch, especially those first few years. So going back,

823
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:55.480
<v Speaker 4>they're even just small things like Hanzo having his bounce

824
00:37:55.639 --> 00:37:58.960
<v Speaker 4>arrow ability that they eventually got rid of for this

825
00:37:59.079 --> 00:38:02.400
<v Speaker 4>rapid fire show that it was more fair but also

826
00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:06.079
<v Speaker 4>way less fun right right, So yeah, to just just

827
00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:09.159
<v Speaker 4>small things like that, I you know, and then it

828
00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:11.760
<v Speaker 4>was still six ft six, right, it's not the five

829
00:38:11.800 --> 00:38:14.000
<v Speaker 4>y five thing that over Watch two became. It's funny

830
00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:15.960
<v Speaker 4>because it seems like just a lot of those Overwatched

831
00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:19.519
<v Speaker 4>two things are getting slowly reversed, like they've been introducing

832
00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:22.800
<v Speaker 4>six v six as an option at least, and stuff

833
00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:27.199
<v Speaker 4>like this loop boxes are coming back, right, So that

834
00:38:27.239 --> 00:38:30.400
<v Speaker 4>whole Overwatch two model probably not a great idea, especially

835
00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:32.559
<v Speaker 4>because they sold it with that whole co op campaign

836
00:38:32.599 --> 00:38:33.400
<v Speaker 4>that was canceled.

837
00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Oho.

838
00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:36.039
<v Speaker 4>It's funny because, like we're saying, more live service games

839
00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:39.119
<v Speaker 4>have to like resort to that like Rainbows six siegs

840
00:38:39.199 --> 00:38:42.480
<v Speaker 4>just a nounce Siege X just basically like their attempt

841
00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:44.639
<v Speaker 4>at the same kind of thing. At some point, you

842
00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:47.079
<v Speaker 4>got to do some kind of I don't want to

843
00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:50.559
<v Speaker 4>say desperate, but big, big update. You have to say

844
00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:52.360
<v Speaker 4>how big it is by adding a two or an

845
00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:55.920
<v Speaker 4>X or something there. I guess. Uh.

846
00:38:56.079 --> 00:38:59.239
<v Speaker 1>Speaking about going back to things, Mike, you've been going

847
00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:01.000
<v Speaker 1>back to Astrobot. Actually you all have.

848
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:04.679
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I have a chance to get it. I think

849
00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:08.599
<v Speaker 4>you're in the lead, so yeah, new kind of Uh

850
00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:11.239
<v Speaker 4>to my surprise, I think, to your surprise too, Dan.

851
00:39:11.320 --> 00:39:15.760
<v Speaker 4>They they they're dropping another five speed run levels, which

852
00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:18.159
<v Speaker 4>is really neat and the first one's cool because it's

853
00:39:18.199 --> 00:39:20.760
<v Speaker 4>that time stopping gimmick, which is one of the better

854
00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:24.159
<v Speaker 4>power ups from the base game. Actually I never did

855
00:39:24.199 --> 00:39:27.000
<v Speaker 4>the monkey climbing one from the last sets. I did

856
00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:29.079
<v Speaker 4>that real quick before starting that, and boy did I

857
00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:31.400
<v Speaker 4>hate that. It's not it's definitely the weakest one. But

858
00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:32.599
<v Speaker 4>I had to do it just so I could have

859
00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:35.039
<v Speaker 4>like that overall leadable, right, I did it, just like

860
00:39:35.079 --> 00:39:36.920
<v Speaker 4>to get the two butts. I was like, that's enough

861
00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:40.039
<v Speaker 4>of that. This feels so much better. But yeah, like

862
00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:42.079
<v Speaker 4>Dan set at times, so then I went and uh

863
00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:44.079
<v Speaker 4>we beat I beat the time. We went back and

864
00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:47.000
<v Speaker 4>forth a little bit. I will say, there's another steal

865
00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:49.159
<v Speaker 4>skip in this one, like in that ice level I

866
00:39:49.159 --> 00:39:51.800
<v Speaker 4>can do. I tried doing it for a bit. I'm

867
00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:54.119
<v Speaker 4>just like, there's two of them.

868
00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:56.760
<v Speaker 3>There's two that you can do and I can't. I've

869
00:39:56.840 --> 00:39:59.320
<v Speaker 3>not even one time gotten neither of them to work. No,

870
00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:01.880
<v Speaker 3>exactly like, Okay, I'll try it, and like thirty minutes

871
00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:02.239
<v Speaker 3>are trying.

872
00:40:02.280 --> 00:40:04.519
<v Speaker 4>It's not like, oh, I'm not executing it right, I'm

873
00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:06.840
<v Speaker 4>not even getting it the trigger and I'm just like.

874
00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:08.599
<v Speaker 2>Oh, this is okay. Yeah.

875
00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:09.079
<v Speaker 1>No.

876
00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:11.239
<v Speaker 3>And the last seal skip one that level, like I

877
00:40:11.280 --> 00:40:13.039
<v Speaker 3>was hitting that like almost every time, like that was.

878
00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:16.960
<v Speaker 4>This one. I cannot figure out. The thing with this

879
00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:19.559
<v Speaker 4>one is that it's not like, oh, the seal reacts

880
00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:21.559
<v Speaker 4>as soon as you hover on him. He's on a cycle.

881
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:23.800
<v Speaker 4>You know, you have the time scopping thing, so you

882
00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:26.960
<v Speaker 4>can kind of use that to manipulate the cycle a

883
00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:29.960
<v Speaker 4>little bit. I didn't realize that. Yes, it's still just

884
00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:33.119
<v Speaker 4>it's very tricky. So yeah, it was. That's why it

885
00:40:33.159 --> 00:40:35.000
<v Speaker 4>was like it was fun. It was fucking ppting with tankers.

886
00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:36.599
<v Speaker 4>Don't think either of us are going for the seal

887
00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:39.519
<v Speaker 4>skills anyways. You know, like Vitelli's just trolling both of

888
00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:41.639
<v Speaker 4>us because I think you know he is doing this.

889
00:40:41.840 --> 00:40:44.800
<v Speaker 4>You got yeah, yeah, for sure, you know he's better.

890
00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Than so don't give this.

891
00:40:48.239 --> 00:40:51.800
<v Speaker 4>It's it's just awesome see them keep bringing content to

892
00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:53.880
<v Speaker 4>this game. It's a great time excuse to go back

893
00:40:53.920 --> 00:40:56.000
<v Speaker 4>to it because I just really really like playing Astro

894
00:40:56.360 --> 00:41:00.960
<v Speaker 4>great but in this one, oh right, yeah you unlock. Yeah,

895
00:41:01.239 --> 00:41:02.280
<v Speaker 4>that's one of my favorites.

896
00:41:03.039 --> 00:41:04.360
<v Speaker 2>I need to I need to go play this. So

897
00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:06.719
<v Speaker 2>it's hard to make time with all these other games

898
00:41:06.719 --> 00:41:09.000
<v Speaker 2>because I assume as I play something like this, of course,

899
00:41:09.039 --> 00:41:10.599
<v Speaker 2>then I'm locked in. That's all I want to do,

900
00:41:11.280 --> 00:41:13.920
<v Speaker 2>so I keep trying to avoid it, but I'll just

901
00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:14.920
<v Speaker 2>give in and play.

902
00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:18.239
<v Speaker 1>Speaking about other games coming out, I believe Nikky talked

903
00:41:18.239 --> 00:41:21.000
<v Speaker 1>about this on BombCast Revengeance the last Friday if you

904
00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:23.719
<v Speaker 1>missed it, but I was also down in La playing

905
00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:28.599
<v Speaker 1>split Fiction with them. Spliction. Yes, I've started calling it

906
00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:31.639
<v Speaker 1>spliction internally in my head as well. Thank you, Mike Minattio.

907
00:41:33.360 --> 00:41:39.119
<v Speaker 1>If you have played it Takes two or his Joseph

908
00:41:39.159 --> 00:41:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Harris's Other Way Way a game, right, people forget I

909
00:41:47.880 --> 00:41:51.639
<v Speaker 1>played it? Yeah, this is one of those. I think

910
00:41:51.800 --> 00:41:56.239
<v Speaker 1>this is very ambitious with the different levels and mechanics

911
00:41:56.280 --> 00:41:58.039
<v Speaker 1>that they're going for. I think we have a front

912
00:41:58.079 --> 00:42:00.880
<v Speaker 1>runner if we want to introduce this category though for

913
00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:04.519
<v Speaker 1>best hot Dog of the Year. Okay, there is a

914
00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:08.440
<v Speaker 1>moment where you transform into a hot dog and you

915
00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:11.039
<v Speaker 1>have to cook yourself by rolling around like the game

916
00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:15.159
<v Speaker 1>is real silly. I just hope that overall the game's

917
00:42:15.199 --> 00:42:19.320
<v Speaker 1>story doesn't take itself too seriously because everything else seems

918
00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:21.199
<v Speaker 1>to be like, ha ha, Okay, that's.

919
00:42:21.039 --> 00:42:22.199
<v Speaker 2>Crazy, that's weird.

920
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:24.880
<v Speaker 1>We're in the fictional world. But then when you get

921
00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:28.079
<v Speaker 1>to the actual serious story bits, it's like, hmm, I

922
00:42:28.119 --> 00:42:30.519
<v Speaker 1>don't know, you guys not in on the joke. Is

923
00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:31.599
<v Speaker 1>there a joke that we're.

924
00:42:31.400 --> 00:42:34.800
<v Speaker 3>Doing that was not the strong point of their other

925
00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:36.760
<v Speaker 3>stuff too, you know, like certainly not.

926
00:42:37.079 --> 00:42:38.599
<v Speaker 1>It takes two because.

927
00:42:38.320 --> 00:42:40.639
<v Speaker 4>Like the moment like is it like that, uh, that

928
00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:42.159
<v Speaker 4>just happened kind of writing.

929
00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:45.000
<v Speaker 1>No, like the moment to moment stuff is like, oh,

930
00:42:45.039 --> 00:42:47.320
<v Speaker 1>that's weird, or like oh, you have to do something

931
00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:51.880
<v Speaker 1>like very unexpected, and they're pulling off the mechanic very well.

932
00:42:53.719 --> 00:42:56.760
<v Speaker 1>And it's so funny because like when Nicky and I

933
00:42:56.800 --> 00:42:59.480
<v Speaker 1>were playing, we were so locked into our different perspectives

934
00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:03.280
<v Speaker 1>where a couple of times we had to repeat a

935
00:43:03.320 --> 00:43:05.679
<v Speaker 1>set piece or whatever. I would look over at Nicky's

936
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:07.880
<v Speaker 1>screen and they would look over at my screen and

937
00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:11.320
<v Speaker 1>it's like, oh, you were doing something completely different and

938
00:43:11.400 --> 00:43:15.840
<v Speaker 1>you saw different things. I do have to ask Eespr

939
00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:19.920
<v Speaker 1>because we we did record some of the gameplay, but

940
00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:22.079
<v Speaker 1>I kind of want to just release the audio of

941
00:43:22.159 --> 00:43:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Nicky and I yelling at each other. Also, the photographer

942
00:43:26.599 --> 00:43:29.440
<v Speaker 1>loved us. We were having the wail of a time

943
00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:35.199
<v Speaker 1>playing the game. I'm very excited because the different mechanics

944
00:43:35.239 --> 00:43:37.960
<v Speaker 1>that they did show. I kind of wasn't clicking with

945
00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:39.800
<v Speaker 1>it originally when you start the game, but as you

946
00:43:39.840 --> 00:43:42.559
<v Speaker 1>progress through and like the different stuff they had you doing,

947
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:46.480
<v Speaker 1>It's like, oh, if the Divorce game didn't make people

948
00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:49.000
<v Speaker 1>actually want to get a divorce, this game will because

949
00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:52.159
<v Speaker 1>you need the other person to be on the same

950
00:43:52.159 --> 00:43:57.039
<v Speaker 1>wavelength as you and not skipping or like not looking

951
00:43:57.039 --> 00:43:59.360
<v Speaker 1>at their phone or looking away. You need both of

952
00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:02.920
<v Speaker 1>you need to be locked in for split fiction. I'm

953
00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:04.880
<v Speaker 1>excited that's coming out in March.

954
00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:08.880
<v Speaker 4>It's like two weeks easy, Christ, that's gonna be That

955
00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:11.559
<v Speaker 4>is gonna be fun. I mean, yeah, It takes two

956
00:44:11.920 --> 00:44:14.199
<v Speaker 4>was a really, really good time and like just the

957
00:44:14.199 --> 00:44:17.719
<v Speaker 4>the platforming actually felt so good in that game. That

958
00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:19.559
<v Speaker 4>was one of the biggest surprises of it for me.

959
00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:22.719
<v Speaker 4>It's just like the running around and the jump in

960
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:24.360
<v Speaker 4>feel really good in this one too.

961
00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:29.239
<v Speaker 1>It does not at first, but like at like I said,

962
00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:33.079
<v Speaker 1>when you kind of take on different power mechanics, that

963
00:44:33.159 --> 00:44:38.519
<v Speaker 1>winds up feeling good. The thing I do worry about, though,

964
00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:43.000
<v Speaker 1>is like, Okay, the main story feels very hammy and

965
00:44:43.039 --> 00:44:46.199
<v Speaker 1>not in a good way, but like the the moment

966
00:44:46.239 --> 00:44:48.559
<v Speaker 1>to moment stuff like within your level and like within

967
00:44:48.599 --> 00:44:51.599
<v Speaker 1>the levels, and the banter between the characters. It's like, Okay,

968
00:44:51.639 --> 00:44:55.800
<v Speaker 1>they're starting to warm up to each other, and I'm

969
00:44:55.880 --> 00:44:58.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of warming up to them. They're both kind of

970
00:44:58.599 --> 00:45:00.960
<v Speaker 1>jerks at first, but it's like, oh, okay, we're we're

971
00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:02.000
<v Speaker 1>understanding each other.

972
00:45:02.239 --> 00:45:05.519
<v Speaker 4>It's like a sci fi writer and a fantasy writer, right, yes, yes,

973
00:45:05.519 --> 00:45:09.639
<v Speaker 4>and they find common ground. How it's a it's a

974
00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:13.519
<v Speaker 4>wouldn't it be terrible if it was like try to

975
00:45:13.559 --> 00:45:15.280
<v Speaker 4>be like, this is a lefty and this is a

976
00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:19.320
<v Speaker 4>rightist and they should find common that's what they're going

977
00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:19.760
<v Speaker 4>for here?

978
00:45:20.239 --> 00:45:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Impossible? How could that ever happen?

979
00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Talk out our problems?

980
00:45:25.559 --> 00:45:27.639
<v Speaker 1>What do you expect me to listen to someone else

981
00:45:27.920 --> 00:45:28.480
<v Speaker 1>and look at it?

982
00:45:28.519 --> 00:45:30.679
<v Speaker 4>I know it's about centrists.

983
00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:35.280
<v Speaker 1>It's funny though, because there are other authors in the

984
00:45:35.360 --> 00:45:40.800
<v Speaker 1>game that you see at the r LS Cinematic Uh no,

985
00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:44.760
<v Speaker 1>not not shoot authors just like other people. And then

986
00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I just wonder what their world looks like if, like

987
00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:48.480
<v Speaker 1>what if someone was just like I just want to

988
00:45:48.519 --> 00:45:50.119
<v Speaker 1>make a test prep book.

989
00:45:50.840 --> 00:45:53.320
<v Speaker 4>Ah, yeah, they should have. They should have like those

990
00:45:53.360 --> 00:45:57.000
<v Speaker 4>people who wrote that really long Smash Brothers fan fiction

991
00:45:57.159 --> 00:46:01.480
<v Speaker 4>or whatever one or the guy who wrote the thing Obama.

992
00:46:02.599 --> 00:46:05.559
<v Speaker 2>So you need the chaos god.

993
00:46:05.639 --> 00:46:09.199
<v Speaker 4>Obama's got to actually say that once camera before he dies. Please.

994
00:46:09.480 --> 00:46:12.079
<v Speaker 2>I was like kind of hoping Sonic three's post credit scene,

995
00:46:12.119 --> 00:46:14.000
<v Speaker 2>what's gonna have that. I'm like, they could probably make

996
00:46:14.039 --> 00:46:15.239
<v Speaker 2>that happen. You're pretty safe.

997
00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:17.480
<v Speaker 4>Sonic four will get we'll get there.

998
00:46:17.679 --> 00:46:19.559
<v Speaker 2>I think one of the Sonic movies will eventually make

999
00:46:19.599 --> 00:46:20.079
<v Speaker 2>that happen.

1000
00:46:20.480 --> 00:46:24.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah you know what, Yeah, okay, sure, let's get Obama

1001
00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:25.039
<v Speaker 1>in movies.

1002
00:46:26.480 --> 00:46:28.440
<v Speaker 2>He's a he's a movie producer. You've made a bunch

1003
00:46:28.440 --> 00:46:33.599
<v Speaker 2>of netliks or whatever. Yeah, exactly. Uh split fiction.

1004
00:46:33.880 --> 00:46:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

1005
00:46:34.159 --> 00:46:36.199
<v Speaker 2>I guess my last question about that would be like, Okay,

1006
00:46:36.239 --> 00:46:40.239
<v Speaker 2>so this thing's out in two weeks. Are you happy

1007
00:46:40.360 --> 00:46:43.639
<v Speaker 2>still that they are sticking with their core competency of no,

1008
00:46:43.840 --> 00:46:46.039
<v Speaker 2>this is a co op game, would you want ok yeah,

1009
00:46:46.079 --> 00:46:46.719
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't want.

1010
00:46:46.599 --> 00:46:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Them to change that. I would not want them to

1011
00:46:48.400 --> 00:46:51.119
<v Speaker 1>change that because, like they've they nailed it with it

1012
00:46:51.159 --> 00:46:55.360
<v Speaker 1>takes two. Uh, they're the only ones doing this as well, right,

1013
00:46:55.519 --> 00:46:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Like I can't think of any other like hard net Wars.

1014
00:46:57.960 --> 00:47:01.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah from Abandoned Cook He's in Cream, So yeah, it's

1015
00:47:01.480 --> 00:47:02.000
<v Speaker 4>up to them.

1016
00:47:02.159 --> 00:47:03.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, don't forget your roots, guys.

1017
00:47:03.840 --> 00:47:05.559
<v Speaker 4>You brought it and core back. We can dream.

1018
00:47:06.239 --> 00:47:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, hey, we're going to turn a game

1019
00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:11.679
<v Speaker 1>about digging a hole into a co op game and

1020
00:47:11.719 --> 00:47:12.920
<v Speaker 1>a competition, so.

1021
00:47:12.920 --> 00:47:14.800
<v Speaker 4>I mean, actually not a co op game at all.

1022
00:47:14.920 --> 00:47:17.719
<v Speaker 3>Didn't they do that with power because I compare the

1023
00:47:17.800 --> 00:47:19.960
<v Speaker 3>whole game to like Powerwash Simulator in terms of like

1024
00:47:20.000 --> 00:47:23.559
<v Speaker 3>how it feels. Didn't they add co op to Powerwash

1025
00:47:23.639 --> 00:47:26.519
<v Speaker 3>like months later? All right, keep an eye on that hole.

1026
00:47:26.880 --> 00:47:28.360
<v Speaker 4>One of the first things I ever did with you

1027
00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:30.719
<v Speaker 4>guys was I went to Jeff's house while you guys

1028
00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:34.119
<v Speaker 4>were doing co op Powerwash Simulator on at UPF and

1029
00:47:34.159 --> 00:47:35.480
<v Speaker 4>he had to do something of the kids, So I

1030
00:47:35.559 --> 00:47:39.800
<v Speaker 4>just jumped in talking to everybody. Okay, that's the first

1031
00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:43.920
<v Speaker 4>time I ever appeared on Giant Bomb content. Actually, yeah,

1032
00:47:44.079 --> 00:47:46.159
<v Speaker 4>whatever that upf I may have been on a game

1033
00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:47.239
<v Speaker 4>as mornings. I don't know.

1034
00:47:48.039 --> 00:47:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Uh, well, you know we talked about Obama and the

1035
00:47:50.039 --> 00:47:52.239
<v Speaker 1>White House. Right now is a little bit of a

1036
00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:53.519
<v Speaker 1>Maniac Mansion.

1037
00:47:54.599 --> 00:47:59.920
<v Speaker 4>That's cute, master, right, Uh, this was kind of my weekend.

1038
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:04.000
<v Speaker 4>This is how I had fun this long weekend. Maniac

1039
00:48:04.159 --> 00:48:08.800
<v Speaker 4>Mansion was a nineteen eighty seven computer game originally for

1040
00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:12.960
<v Speaker 4>Apple two's and Commodore sixty four's. Actually played the eighty

1041
00:48:13.079 --> 00:48:17.239
<v Speaker 4>nine version may for Thass with slightly better graphics. I

1042
00:48:17.280 --> 00:48:19.719
<v Speaker 4>think I talked before about how much I like LucasArts

1043
00:48:19.840 --> 00:48:23.880
<v Speaker 4>Adventure games. I made Jeff play Grimfin Dango, which is

1044
00:48:23.920 --> 00:48:26.840
<v Speaker 4>kind of the pinnacle of that, and it's wild because

1045
00:48:26.960 --> 00:48:29.360
<v Speaker 4>that's basically like the second to last one. There's a

1046
00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:31.679
<v Speaker 4>monkey Allen after that. But you know, it's like that

1047
00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:34.199
<v Speaker 4>whole era, which to me is this giant deal. These

1048
00:48:34.280 --> 00:48:37.840
<v Speaker 4>LucasArts Adventure games is from eighty seven to like two thousand.

1049
00:48:38.079 --> 00:48:41.320
<v Speaker 4>Grip of Dingo is ninety eight, right these days, like

1050
00:48:41.360 --> 00:48:44.320
<v Speaker 4>a game from twelve years ago is you know, newer

1051
00:48:44.360 --> 00:48:46.519
<v Speaker 4>than Skyrit, right, I think, just don't change as much

1052
00:48:46.519 --> 00:48:48.360
<v Speaker 4>as the youth. But yeah, like as much as I

1053
00:48:48.360 --> 00:48:50.440
<v Speaker 4>love these games. I never really played that much of

1054
00:48:50.519 --> 00:48:53.920
<v Speaker 4>Maniac Mansion. I think even I was like, oh, that's

1055
00:48:54.119 --> 00:48:56.239
<v Speaker 4>that's so old. Am I still going to be able

1056
00:48:56.519 --> 00:48:58.320
<v Speaker 4>to have fun with it? Is it going to be

1057
00:48:59.079 --> 00:49:01.960
<v Speaker 4>two up? Two s blah blah? But you know, luckily

1058
00:49:02.079 --> 00:49:05.000
<v Speaker 4>you could just buy these games on goog They automatically

1059
00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:11.639
<v Speaker 4>run the kind of emulators shows BOXMVM, duscumby, which is amazing,

1060
00:49:11.679 --> 00:49:15.159
<v Speaker 4>so very easy to play it. And yeah, I just

1061
00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:17.639
<v Speaker 4>actually had a very very good time with this. Still

1062
00:49:17.719 --> 00:49:21.119
<v Speaker 4>it is that classic point and click style. It's simpler

1063
00:49:21.119 --> 00:49:23.280
<v Speaker 4>in some of the later games, especially in terms of story.

1064
00:49:23.320 --> 00:49:26.000
<v Speaker 4>You don't have things like the dialogue trees and whatnot.

1065
00:49:26.400 --> 00:49:29.760
<v Speaker 4>There's still so much here that's clever and creative. The

1066
00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:32.960
<v Speaker 4>kind of gimmick is that you have like six or

1067
00:49:33.039 --> 00:49:36.480
<v Speaker 4>seven characters you can pick from. You're taking three. You

1068
00:49:36.480 --> 00:49:38.480
<v Speaker 4>always have to take the main guy. He's kind of,

1069
00:49:38.559 --> 00:49:41.280
<v Speaker 4>you know, just enormy. Then the other characters all have

1070
00:49:41.719 --> 00:49:45.239
<v Speaker 4>special things that give them access to certain abilities, and

1071
00:49:45.559 --> 00:49:48.559
<v Speaker 4>there's different endings you can get depending on what characters

1072
00:49:48.599 --> 00:49:52.320
<v Speaker 4>you have. Like you can bring in this character who's

1073
00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:54.960
<v Speaker 4>an author into the mansion the whole place. You're trying

1074
00:49:54.960 --> 00:49:57.039
<v Speaker 4>to save this girl, the guy's friend. It's just he's

1075
00:49:57.079 --> 00:50:01.880
<v Speaker 4>an author. You can beat the game. So it's an

1076
00:50:01.920 --> 00:50:04.480
<v Speaker 4>evil meteor, right, who's the bad guy? Right, there's a

1077
00:50:04.519 --> 00:50:06.760
<v Speaker 4>bad meteor right where you can find the meteor right's

1078
00:50:06.880 --> 00:50:11.960
<v Speaker 4>manuscript for a novel that he wrote. It's really bad though,

1079
00:50:12.000 --> 00:50:14.320
<v Speaker 4>but as the writer, you can kind of doctor it

1080
00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:17.000
<v Speaker 4>up a bit and then mail it to a publisher

1081
00:50:17.039 --> 00:50:20.760
<v Speaker 4>and get him a book signing contract. If you give

1082
00:50:20.760 --> 00:50:22.840
<v Speaker 4>that to him, he'll give up his life a crime

1083
00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:26.480
<v Speaker 4>and become an author instead. Right, So that's one thing

1084
00:50:26.519 --> 00:50:28.719
<v Speaker 4>you can do. Or like, instead of that, you can

1085
00:50:28.960 --> 00:50:32.079
<v Speaker 4>find the phone number for the meteor police and you

1086
00:50:32.119 --> 00:50:36.079
<v Speaker 4>can fix a radio with the nerd character Bernard. That's

1087
00:50:36.119 --> 00:50:38.360
<v Speaker 4>another way that you can. Let's say, it's just like okay,

1088
00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:40.719
<v Speaker 4>so like, depending on what characters you have in there,

1089
00:50:40.920 --> 00:50:43.880
<v Speaker 4>there are different routes you can take. Also, as I

1090
00:50:43.960 --> 00:50:47.480
<v Speaker 4>learned recently because Jeff asked me this quiz question on

1091
00:50:47.519 --> 00:50:51.119
<v Speaker 4>our podcast, what's the first game to use the term cutscenes?

1092
00:50:51.480 --> 00:50:54.800
<v Speaker 4>It's Maniac Mansion because everything kind of runs on a clock,

1093
00:50:54.960 --> 00:50:58.920
<v Speaker 4>so like ten minutes in this event will happen, and

1094
00:50:59.000 --> 00:51:00.760
<v Speaker 4>it also kind of sets some of the characters on

1095
00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:02.920
<v Speaker 4>certain paths because they can run into you and throw

1096
00:51:02.920 --> 00:51:04.239
<v Speaker 4>you in the dungeon and things like that.

1097
00:51:04.239 --> 00:51:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Go ahead, Jim, I have a question for y'all, because you'll,

1098
00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:10.639
<v Speaker 1>y'all are so much smarter than me with game game stuff.

1099
00:51:10.679 --> 00:51:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Why is it called a cut scene when cut scenes

1100
00:51:13.920 --> 00:51:16.159
<v Speaker 1>in movies are scenes that are cutting?

1101
00:51:16.559 --> 00:51:18.320
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I think here are The idea is that it's

1102
00:51:18.360 --> 00:51:21.559
<v Speaker 4>cutting to a scene. Yeah, So it's cuz y because

1103
00:51:21.559 --> 00:51:24.960
<v Speaker 4>it's not. Yeah, especially in this game, right, because it

1104
00:51:25.199 --> 00:51:27.079
<v Speaker 4>cuts away from what the player is doing and whatever

1105
00:51:27.119 --> 00:51:29.840
<v Speaker 4>room they're in to show these other characters interacting for

1106
00:51:29.960 --> 00:51:30.360
<v Speaker 4>a moment.

1107
00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:33.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it's that's something you've described it. It's

1108
00:51:33.079 --> 00:51:35.119
<v Speaker 2>like it's on a timer. It happens at a certain point,

1109
00:51:35.239 --> 00:51:35.760
<v Speaker 2>like kind of no.

1110
00:51:35.719 --> 00:51:38.440
<v Speaker 4>Matter what, right, Yeah, I think I think there might

1111
00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:40.719
<v Speaker 4>be some things that may interfere with it. Like, for example,

1112
00:51:40.760 --> 00:51:43.719
<v Speaker 4>at a certain point, a package will right for the

1113
00:51:43.760 --> 00:51:46.480
<v Speaker 4>one character living in the mansion, and he's going to

1114
00:51:46.559 --> 00:51:48.320
<v Speaker 4>go answer the door, so that gives you an opportunity

1115
00:51:48.360 --> 00:51:50.320
<v Speaker 4>to sneak into his room and do some things. Also

1116
00:51:50.400 --> 00:51:53.599
<v Speaker 4>gives you an opportunity to steal the package, which you

1117
00:51:53.679 --> 00:51:56.480
<v Speaker 4>might want because you can then get a stamp from it,

1118
00:51:56.519 --> 00:51:59.519
<v Speaker 4>which was important for me mailing that manuscript later. Right,

1119
00:51:59.800 --> 00:52:03.039
<v Speaker 4>they like that. There's also a pretty infamous thing in

1120
00:52:03.039 --> 00:52:06.039
<v Speaker 4>this game where only two of the characters, the biggest miscreants,

1121
00:52:07.480 --> 00:52:09.119
<v Speaker 4>are able to steal a hamster. You can steal a

1122
00:52:09.119 --> 00:52:10.559
<v Speaker 4>hamster in the game. In fact, you have to steal

1123
00:52:10.559 --> 00:52:13.679
<v Speaker 4>a hamster, but only these two can then put the

1124
00:52:13.719 --> 00:52:17.360
<v Speaker 4>hamster into a microwave. Oh this is that. Okay, this

1125
00:52:17.400 --> 00:52:20.039
<v Speaker 4>is that game. And then you can microwave the hamster

1126
00:52:20.599 --> 00:52:25.400
<v Speaker 4>and it explodes. It's as far removed as can you

1127
00:52:25.480 --> 00:52:29.440
<v Speaker 4>pet the blank as you can possibly get you. Then

1128
00:52:29.480 --> 00:52:31.599
<v Speaker 4>you can take the hamster bits and show him to

1129
00:52:31.639 --> 00:52:33.039
<v Speaker 4>the owner and he'll kill you.

1130
00:52:33.400 --> 00:52:35.400
<v Speaker 2>And how horny did this all make you?

1131
00:52:36.199 --> 00:52:40.239
<v Speaker 1>Not? Very? Did this remind you of an Italian restaurant

1132
00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:42.559
<v Speaker 1>you visited as a child?

1133
00:52:44.039 --> 00:52:46.360
<v Speaker 4>Thank you? Theyn't even remind me of that? No, no, no,

1134
00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:49.159
<v Speaker 4>characters can't die. You can still finish the game if

1135
00:52:49.159 --> 00:52:51.039
<v Speaker 4>some of them are dead, because again you have three.

1136
00:52:51.159 --> 00:52:53.920
<v Speaker 4>But you also can't like soft lock yourself out of

1137
00:52:53.960 --> 00:52:56.440
<v Speaker 4>things too. Right, it's not quite as elegant as later

1138
00:52:56.519 --> 00:52:59.719
<v Speaker 4>LucasArts games are pretty forgiving with that. They aren't like

1139
00:52:59.760 --> 00:53:01.880
<v Speaker 4>this or even the Sierra games where you can get,

1140
00:53:01.960 --> 00:53:04.119
<v Speaker 4>you can die, you can just kind of get in

1141
00:53:04.159 --> 00:53:06.079
<v Speaker 4>these situations where you have to restart the game or

1142
00:53:06.159 --> 00:53:07.480
<v Speaker 4>load of SAFEI or whatnot.

1143
00:53:08.159 --> 00:53:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Mike's novelty Twitter account of can You Microwave the Dog

1144
00:53:11.000 --> 00:53:15.360
<v Speaker 2>is just not as popular as the people, it turns out.

1145
00:53:16.239 --> 00:53:18.239
<v Speaker 3>I remember being like six or seven going to the

1146
00:53:18.320 --> 00:53:20.199
<v Speaker 3>video store and I would always just rent games based

1147
00:53:20.239 --> 00:53:23.000
<v Speaker 3>off the Boxer back then, and I saw that's like, oh,

1148
00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:26.239
<v Speaker 3>that's an interesting looking Boxer game, and then totally expecting

1149
00:53:26.880 --> 00:53:30.760
<v Speaker 3>any game it's a platformer. I get home and I

1150
00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:33.400
<v Speaker 3>instantly starting to like, I'm not controlling the wait, what

1151
00:53:33.519 --> 00:53:35.280
<v Speaker 3>is this? Like I probably didn't know what a cursor

1152
00:53:35.400 --> 00:53:38.960
<v Speaker 3>was at that point. What is all this like menu stuff?

1153
00:53:39.039 --> 00:53:42.519
<v Speaker 3>And like I've never more quickly as a child been

1154
00:53:42.559 --> 00:53:45.079
<v Speaker 3>like fuck this, take it back with the store. I

1155
00:53:45.159 --> 00:53:47.440
<v Speaker 3>never want to play a game like this. My most

1156
00:53:47.480 --> 00:53:48.079
<v Speaker 3>experience of.

1157
00:53:48.039 --> 00:53:50.639
<v Speaker 4>That I discovered that like these games with actually this

1158
00:53:50.719 --> 00:53:53.719
<v Speaker 4>game sequel, Day of the Tentacle on PC, and I

1159
00:53:53.800 --> 00:53:55.880
<v Speaker 4>probably picked that up more than a ninety five and

1160
00:53:56.239 --> 00:53:58.880
<v Speaker 4>I really did fall for it. But I was also

1161
00:53:58.880 --> 00:54:01.119
<v Speaker 4>familiar things like miss so I was aware of the

1162
00:54:01.159 --> 00:54:05.239
<v Speaker 4>concept of pointing and clicking right that NS version, like,

1163
00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:07.079
<v Speaker 4>I've always heard about that, and I thought it was

1164
00:54:07.159 --> 00:54:09.840
<v Speaker 4>it sounded like a weird novelty. But then for funzies,

1165
00:54:09.880 --> 00:54:12.039
<v Speaker 4>I played through all of that. The day after I

1166
00:54:12.039 --> 00:54:14.960
<v Speaker 4>played this PC version, right, I got a emula going,

1167
00:54:14.960 --> 00:54:18.800
<v Speaker 4>I got the switch NES controler hooked up to my PC.

1168
00:54:19.079 --> 00:54:20.800
<v Speaker 4>Since I knew what I was doing, I looked up

1169
00:54:20.840 --> 00:54:22.760
<v Speaker 4>some stuff for some of the other endings. I was like,

1170
00:54:22.840 --> 00:54:25.119
<v Speaker 4>I was just playing through, Like this actually worked really

1171
00:54:25.159 --> 00:54:28.599
<v Speaker 4>well on NS. It was pretty surprised because they do

1172
00:54:28.679 --> 00:54:31.000
<v Speaker 4>some smart stuff, like so you know in these Lucas

1173
00:54:31.039 --> 00:54:34.000
<v Speaker 4>Starts a venture games, these earlier ones, there's like these

1174
00:54:34.079 --> 00:54:36.119
<v Speaker 4>list of verbs in the bottom that you can click

1175
00:54:36.320 --> 00:54:38.079
<v Speaker 4>to interact with the world. So you know, you click

1176
00:54:38.119 --> 00:54:40.639
<v Speaker 4>on the literally the words pick up and then you

1177
00:54:40.679 --> 00:54:43.960
<v Speaker 4>click on the key. But by pushing the select button

1178
00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:46.920
<v Speaker 4>you can cycle through some of the most popular verbs

1179
00:54:46.960 --> 00:54:51.119
<v Speaker 4>like use or open. So that streamlines everything pretty nicely.

1180
00:54:51.199 --> 00:54:54.280
<v Speaker 4>Also looks nice on NES and the ES version has

1181
00:54:54.280 --> 00:54:57.960
<v Speaker 4>a soundtrack. The PC versions are mostly quiet, and then

1182
00:54:58.920 --> 00:55:01.239
<v Speaker 4>was very good. So yeah, I had a ton of

1183
00:55:01.239 --> 00:55:03.320
<v Speaker 4>fun playing it that way as well.

1184
00:55:04.400 --> 00:55:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Think just in my head Maniac Mansion was a Day

1185
00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:09.519
<v Speaker 2>of the Tentacle. I did not really realize it was like, oh,

1186
00:55:09.519 --> 00:55:12.199
<v Speaker 2>this is much older, and I when I was watching

1187
00:55:12.280 --> 00:55:14.400
<v Speaker 2>you play, I'm like, oh, I did not. I really

1188
00:55:14.400 --> 00:55:15.840
<v Speaker 2>did not have a frame of reference for how this

1189
00:55:15.920 --> 00:55:17.679
<v Speaker 2>game actually looked. So it was cool to see you

1190
00:55:17.679 --> 00:55:19.000
<v Speaker 2>playing this day Tentacle.

1191
00:55:19.079 --> 00:55:21.360
<v Speaker 4>Yes, and again daya Tangle was only six years later,

1192
00:55:21.400 --> 00:55:24.079
<v Speaker 4>and it looked so much lower and write more cards.

1193
00:55:24.519 --> 00:55:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it looks like a Saturday Morning cartoon. Yeah.

1194
00:55:26.519 --> 00:55:30.840
<v Speaker 4>The strangest thing I did in My Maniac Mansion weekend

1195
00:55:30.920 --> 00:55:35.639
<v Speaker 4>Frenzy Frenzy. So there was also a Maniac manch and

1196
00:55:35.760 --> 00:55:40.719
<v Speaker 4>TV show. Oh yes. They sold the show to the

1197
00:55:40.800 --> 00:55:43.760
<v Speaker 4>fine folks at the Family Channel at the time, and

1198
00:55:43.840 --> 00:55:47.239
<v Speaker 4>a lot of people from like SCTV. Eugene Levy was

1199
00:55:47.280 --> 00:55:48.000
<v Speaker 4>kind of the lead.

1200
00:55:48.119 --> 00:55:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Right now, this thing cool? Uh.

1201
00:55:50.199 --> 00:55:51.880
<v Speaker 4>This show ran for three seasons.

1202
00:55:51.920 --> 00:55:52.199
<v Speaker 2>There.

1203
00:55:52.639 --> 00:55:55.800
<v Speaker 4>The show is wild. It has almost nothing to do

1204
00:55:55.880 --> 00:55:58.079
<v Speaker 4>with the game except for the meteor. Right, there's the

1205
00:55:58.519 --> 00:56:03.320
<v Speaker 4>meteors there, the yeah, the guys. Then there's like a

1206
00:56:03.360 --> 00:56:07.760
<v Speaker 4>guy named Fred Edison who's a scientist. His u, the

1207
00:56:07.880 --> 00:56:09.800
<v Speaker 4>uncle who lives in the house, got turned into a fly.

1208
00:56:10.960 --> 00:56:13.679
<v Speaker 4>So He's just a guy in a fly costume in

1209
00:56:13.760 --> 00:56:16.880
<v Speaker 4>green screens to look really tiny. So that's weird.

1210
00:56:17.199 --> 00:56:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1211
00:56:17.440 --> 00:56:19.519
<v Speaker 4>The very first episode of the show is called the

1212
00:56:19.559 --> 00:56:23.159
<v Speaker 4>tenth Anniversary Special, so it was a gag. They're pretending

1213
00:56:23.199 --> 00:56:24.639
<v Speaker 4>the show had been running for ten years and it

1214
00:56:24.679 --> 00:56:25.400
<v Speaker 4>was a clip show.

1215
00:56:26.639 --> 00:56:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, so that's good.

1216
00:56:28.400 --> 00:56:29.760
<v Speaker 4>Watch the first episodes of this thing.

1217
00:56:29.880 --> 00:56:30.559
<v Speaker 1>That was wild.

1218
00:56:30.559 --> 00:56:32.599
<v Speaker 4>I kind of want to see all of them now.

1219
00:56:32.760 --> 00:56:33.760
<v Speaker 4>It's very weird.

1220
00:56:33.800 --> 00:56:37.119
<v Speaker 1>Okay. On top of us winning an Emmy, it is

1221
00:56:37.199 --> 00:56:40.719
<v Speaker 1>now my additional goal for us to make a movie

1222
00:56:41.039 --> 00:56:46.039
<v Speaker 1>for to be to B movie, because oh yeah, I

1223
00:56:46.079 --> 00:56:48.400
<v Speaker 1>feel like we just got to get Dan and backall

1224
00:56:48.440 --> 00:56:51.079
<v Speaker 1>are in the pitching room to the to be execs

1225
00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:54.000
<v Speaker 1>and they'll be like, all right, here's one hundred thousand dollars.

1226
00:56:53.679 --> 00:56:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Just say the phrase this was too hot for Crackle,

1227
00:56:56.320 --> 00:56:58.079
<v Speaker 2>but we think you guys can handle it, all right.

1228
00:56:58.239 --> 00:56:59.000
<v Speaker 2>I think that's the man.

1229
00:56:59.079 --> 00:56:59.960
<v Speaker 1>There we go, there we go.

1230
00:57:00.159 --> 00:57:00.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

1231
00:57:00.599 --> 00:57:02.079
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait for all of us to be like

1232
00:57:02.239 --> 00:57:06.199
<v Speaker 1>to be celebrities, to be or not to be they.

1233
00:57:06.280 --> 00:57:08.280
<v Speaker 2>I watched the Super Bowl on two be because I

1234
00:57:08.440 --> 00:57:11.119
<v Speaker 2>just canceled my YouTube TV because it got too expensive.

1235
00:57:11.239 --> 00:57:13.679
<v Speaker 4>What's the gaming was it just extra ads or.

1236
00:57:14.360 --> 00:57:16.840
<v Speaker 2>No, it was it was just Fox. So they just

1237
00:57:16.880 --> 00:57:18.960
<v Speaker 2>like they streamed Fox onto tucause.

1238
00:57:20.320 --> 00:57:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1239
00:57:21.440 --> 00:57:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Well you know it's over the air TV, so like yeah,

1240
00:57:24.480 --> 00:57:26.599
<v Speaker 2>I think they just like, yeah, it was completely free.

1241
00:57:26.599 --> 00:57:29.480
<v Speaker 2>It worked, it looked, it looked fantastic actually, so yeah,

1242
00:57:29.480 --> 00:57:31.480
<v Speaker 2>it was pretty good. I'm a two b guys. What

1243
00:57:31.559 --> 00:57:32.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to say?

1244
00:57:32.960 --> 00:57:36.559
<v Speaker 1>Boo uh Mike Manati. You also spent the weekend not

1245
00:57:36.679 --> 00:57:39.519
<v Speaker 1>just with Maniac Mansion, but also spending some time in

1246
00:57:39.719 --> 00:57:42.039
<v Speaker 1>elden Ring Night Rain. Yeah.

1247
00:57:42.159 --> 00:57:46.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they're doing the kind of like test thing for

1248
00:57:46.280 --> 00:57:51.920
<v Speaker 4>this game. Right now. This is not what I was expecting.

1249
00:57:51.960 --> 00:57:54.639
<v Speaker 4>So this is that elder Ring kind of spin off.

1250
00:57:55.079 --> 00:57:56.920
<v Speaker 4>We all knew, like, oh, it's a co op thing.

1251
00:57:56.960 --> 00:57:58.320
<v Speaker 4>They want you to play a three players. You can't

1252
00:57:58.320 --> 00:57:59.719
<v Speaker 4>play by yourself. Jeff, you have a question already.

1253
00:57:59.800 --> 00:58:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I just like say what I think it is

1254
00:58:01.320 --> 00:58:03.559
<v Speaker 2>and then you tell me how wrong I am. Sure, Okay,

1255
00:58:03.639 --> 00:58:06.800
<v Speaker 2>So I think it's going to be a kind of

1256
00:58:06.800 --> 00:58:13.800
<v Speaker 2>like a Boss Rush, sort of a Rogue Light where

1257
00:58:13.840 --> 00:58:15.840
<v Speaker 2>you're where you can kind of go in there single player,

1258
00:58:15.880 --> 00:58:17.400
<v Speaker 2>but they really want you to play with the trio.

1259
00:58:18.199 --> 00:58:22.239
<v Speaker 4>Here's what really threw me off is how much in

1260
00:58:22.280 --> 00:58:30.239
<v Speaker 4>this game no Fortnite really it's so it's co op, right,

1261
00:58:30.519 --> 00:58:32.559
<v Speaker 4>but the three of you and you always drop in

1262
00:58:32.599 --> 00:58:35.480
<v Speaker 4>the same place. You're basically on a big island and

1263
00:58:35.519 --> 00:58:40.519
<v Speaker 4>there's a circle, and the whole thing is that you

1264
00:58:40.639 --> 00:58:43.199
<v Speaker 4>kind of run around and fight the bosses that you

1265
00:58:43.320 --> 00:58:47.039
<v Speaker 4>can and get the upgrades that you can before the

1266
00:58:47.079 --> 00:58:50.119
<v Speaker 4>circle closes in on a specific area and then a

1267
00:58:50.280 --> 00:58:53.360
<v Speaker 4>big boss spawns there and then you have to kill

1268
00:58:53.400 --> 00:58:57.000
<v Speaker 4>that to get to like the next new circle spawns.

1269
00:58:57.119 --> 00:58:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Is it a.

1270
00:58:59.440 --> 00:59:02.199
<v Speaker 4>Kind of But then when that circle sponds, then you

1271
00:59:02.280 --> 00:59:04.480
<v Speaker 4>fight like the boss for that map in this thing

1272
00:59:04.639 --> 00:59:09.199
<v Speaker 4>in this beta had one map basically, so kind of

1273
00:59:09.239 --> 00:59:11.440
<v Speaker 4>one of these. And you also, you know, instead of

1274
00:59:11.480 --> 00:59:14.519
<v Speaker 4>like the traditional oh you make a character and you

1275
00:59:14.519 --> 00:59:17.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, customize that, you have classes. So there's like

1276
00:59:17.840 --> 00:59:21.679
<v Speaker 4>clearly the dexterity based one and the wizard one, and

1277
00:59:21.719 --> 00:59:24.119
<v Speaker 4>they also have special abilities and things like that, so

1278
00:59:24.440 --> 00:59:26.840
<v Speaker 4>it's not just like, oh, you're running around and here's

1279
00:59:26.880 --> 00:59:29.000
<v Speaker 4>like a new sword you can get, uh, so you

1280
00:59:29.000 --> 00:59:30.119
<v Speaker 4>know you only want to pick it up if you

1281
00:59:30.119 --> 00:59:32.440
<v Speaker 4>want to use that weapon, because each weapon also has

1282
00:59:32.480 --> 00:59:34.960
<v Speaker 4>a passive ability, so maybe you're not going to use

1283
00:59:35.000 --> 00:59:37.039
<v Speaker 4>that sword, but you have six slots. They may as

1284
00:59:37.079 --> 00:59:39.559
<v Speaker 4>well pick it up because it's plus ten damage to

1285
00:59:39.639 --> 00:59:42.559
<v Speaker 4>dragons or something like that. Then all the consumables too,

1286
00:59:42.679 --> 00:59:47.000
<v Speaker 4>like throwing knives or things that heal. But so like, yeah,

1287
00:59:47.000 --> 00:59:49.280
<v Speaker 4>it's like it was shocking. It's also it's really neat

1288
00:59:49.280 --> 00:59:52.679
<v Speaker 4>how you have to get revive your friends because you

1289
00:59:52.719 --> 00:59:54.159
<v Speaker 4>have to attack them to do that.

1290
00:59:54.719 --> 00:59:56.440
<v Speaker 2>You don't just go over and like hold down the button,

1291
00:59:56.519 --> 00:59:57.960
<v Speaker 2>try to get them up. But he's still sort of

1292
00:59:57.960 --> 01:00:00.599
<v Speaker 2>that Fortnite think that's how we care for each other, right.

1293
01:00:01.119 --> 01:00:04.239
<v Speaker 4>Right if you like kind of die consecutively, like oh,

1294
01:00:04.280 --> 01:00:05.960
<v Speaker 4>it's going to take more hits to get him up,

1295
01:00:06.000 --> 01:00:10.159
<v Speaker 4>that kind of thing. Oh yeah, So I was just

1296
01:00:10.199 --> 01:00:13.159
<v Speaker 4>really surprised. That was like, oh, okay, roguelike, it's gonna be

1297
01:00:13.280 --> 01:00:15.880
<v Speaker 4>kind of maybe a bit less open, just sort of

1298
01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:19.960
<v Speaker 4>boss rushy. Sure. No, you're running around and it's definitely fun.

1299
01:00:19.960 --> 01:00:22.039
<v Speaker 4>It's kind of weird because sometimes you're like finding a boss,

1300
01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:24.440
<v Speaker 4>it's like, well, here's the circle. I guess we just

1301
01:00:24.519 --> 01:00:27.320
<v Speaker 4>got to leave him and not worry about that anymore.

1302
01:00:27.360 --> 01:00:30.719
<v Speaker 4>I suppose fossil strange because you know it so clearly

1303
01:00:30.800 --> 01:00:32.960
<v Speaker 4>wants you to be doing the three player thing, kind

1304
01:00:33.000 --> 01:00:37.559
<v Speaker 4>of like Apex Legends, and you know, when you're playing

1305
01:00:37.559 --> 01:00:40.320
<v Speaker 4>for plenty of people, you know that's great, but getting

1306
01:00:40.400 --> 01:00:42.920
<v Speaker 4>matched up with people, it's like, well, help one of

1307
01:00:42.960 --> 01:00:45.239
<v Speaker 4>these guys knows what we're doing. Because I've decided I'm

1308
01:00:45.239 --> 01:00:46.360
<v Speaker 4>following this person.

1309
01:00:46.679 --> 01:00:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Can you play solo dolo exclusively? So you play solo?

1310
01:00:50.559 --> 01:00:52.840
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think the games maybe simple, correct me.

1311
01:00:52.840 --> 01:00:56.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't think the game like rebalances for a lot harder,

1312
01:00:57.119 --> 01:00:59.719
<v Speaker 2>and right now there's no duo option. I think people

1313
01:00:59.760 --> 01:01:02.719
<v Speaker 2>have can that they're maybe looking into that. But yeah,

1314
01:01:02.880 --> 01:01:06.280
<v Speaker 2>it's like Apex Legends again, where they definitely designed it

1315
01:01:06.320 --> 01:01:09.519
<v Speaker 2>for three people and that is how they want you

1316
01:01:09.559 --> 01:01:12.639
<v Speaker 2>to play now. So I'm like, Okay, I have two brothers.

1317
01:01:12.960 --> 01:01:14.639
<v Speaker 2>I bet I'll play this. I bet it's going to

1318
01:01:14.679 --> 01:01:15.079
<v Speaker 2>be fun.

1319
01:01:15.320 --> 01:01:17.639
<v Speaker 4>There's a part of me that's like, like, how much

1320
01:01:17.679 --> 01:01:21.559
<v Speaker 4>of this am I really going to Stomach's not the word,

1321
01:01:21.599 --> 01:01:25.159
<v Speaker 4>but what is the longevity of this? It's a very

1322
01:01:25.199 --> 01:01:27.679
<v Speaker 4>interesting twist on it, and it's a very smart way

1323
01:01:27.719 --> 01:01:30.320
<v Speaker 4>of reusing a lot of bosses and bringing back some

1324
01:01:30.400 --> 01:01:32.760
<v Speaker 4>old ones, Like you know, you are literally running around

1325
01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:36.280
<v Speaker 4>and just encountering a boss from Elton Ring and finding it. Now,

1326
01:01:36.920 --> 01:01:40.079
<v Speaker 4>there's some other differences, like you moving faster in general

1327
01:01:40.079 --> 01:01:42.920
<v Speaker 4>because you don't have the horse right. They give you

1328
01:01:43.039 --> 01:01:46.400
<v Speaker 4>kind of the wall shimmy up thing from Secro to

1329
01:01:46.440 --> 01:01:49.679
<v Speaker 4>help with the platform being and stuff like that. And

1330
01:01:49.800 --> 01:01:53.440
<v Speaker 4>it was fun, it was interesting. It was pretty surprising

1331
01:01:53.559 --> 01:01:57.559
<v Speaker 4>with these Fortnite ell of its again and I had

1332
01:01:57.559 --> 01:01:59.079
<v Speaker 4>a good time, but I'm still a little I'm a

1333
01:01:59.079 --> 01:02:01.760
<v Speaker 4>little skeptical of the sort of longevity of it.

1334
01:02:01.960 --> 01:02:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you can see why. I like they would make

1335
01:02:03.519 --> 01:02:05.239
<v Speaker 2>some of those decisions, like they want to keep things

1336
01:02:05.239 --> 01:02:08.480
<v Speaker 2>moving and keep people on their toes. But you're right,

1337
01:02:08.480 --> 01:02:09.239
<v Speaker 2>that is surprising.

1338
01:02:09.599 --> 01:02:11.039
<v Speaker 1>When is it supposed to drop again?

1339
01:02:11.559 --> 01:02:13.039
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if he even has. It doesn't even

1340
01:02:13.039 --> 01:02:15.239
<v Speaker 4>happen in it yet. I thought it did out in

1341
01:02:15.480 --> 01:02:20.719
<v Speaker 4>Rain Night Rain, Okay, yeah, coming out of May, it

1342
01:02:20.840 --> 01:02:23.000
<v Speaker 4>may all right go well.

1343
01:02:23.119 --> 01:02:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Speaking about reusing assets and making a whole new game,

1344
01:02:25.960 --> 01:02:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Grabb, last game we got on the list like

1345
01:02:27.880 --> 01:02:30.079
<v Speaker 1>a Dragon pirate Yakas in Hawaii.

1346
01:02:30.920 --> 01:02:33.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've been playing this on the Steam deck as well,

1347
01:02:33.519 --> 01:02:37.280
<v Speaker 2>and it's it's I think it's really good. It's really solid.

1348
01:02:37.320 --> 01:02:41.360
<v Speaker 2>I am very into Yakuzin now after Infinite Wealth. I

1349
01:02:41.440 --> 01:02:44.639
<v Speaker 2>played a little bit of seven before that, Yes, seven,

1350
01:02:45.239 --> 01:02:47.320
<v Speaker 2>and I've tried some zero in the past, but Infinite

1351
01:02:47.360 --> 01:02:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Wealth is the one that really got me. And there

1352
01:02:49.880 --> 01:02:52.320
<v Speaker 2>is Goro Moduma in that, which is the guy with

1353
01:02:52.360 --> 01:02:55.079
<v Speaker 2>the iPad. She's been a huge character in the series

1354
01:02:55.119 --> 01:02:58.199
<v Speaker 2>previously so and I always was like when I was

1355
01:02:58.360 --> 01:03:01.679
<v Speaker 2>kind of looking over people's shoulder at them playing Yakuza,

1356
01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:05.039
<v Speaker 2>I'd always be like that Goro Manjuma. Now there's a character,

1357
01:03:05.239 --> 01:03:07.119
<v Speaker 2>there's a guy that just has things going on.

1358
01:03:07.280 --> 01:03:11.679
<v Speaker 1>Someone that is more well versed in the Yakuza cinematic universe.

1359
01:03:11.760 --> 01:03:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Can you can? Can someone just educate me? Is Gorol Maduma?

1360
01:03:14.880 --> 01:03:16.639
<v Speaker 1>I know that he's hella cool from the games that

1361
01:03:16.719 --> 01:03:19.519
<v Speaker 1>I've played, but is he just supposed to be Nicholas

1362
01:03:19.599 --> 01:03:23.239
<v Speaker 1>Cage's character from Wild at Heart because of the snakeskin jacket?

1363
01:03:23.360 --> 01:03:26.719
<v Speaker 4>And just like, is he a vegeta? Did he like

1364
01:03:26.840 --> 01:03:28.599
<v Speaker 4>used to be an enemy then became a friend?

1365
01:03:28.639 --> 01:03:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh, Mike, everyone used to be of enemy Vegeta and

1366
01:03:33.480 --> 01:03:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Yakuza and everyone INDs up becoming your best friend. Well

1367
01:03:38.400 --> 01:03:39.960
<v Speaker 2>I haven't got to that part yet, but I will

1368
01:03:40.000 --> 01:03:42.639
<v Speaker 2>assume I will eventually be best friends with smoaed Joe,

1369
01:03:42.679 --> 01:03:46.079
<v Speaker 2>Despitejo's obvious efficiencies as a person, which we all know.

1370
01:03:47.440 --> 01:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Coward, I say, Joe, I did not say. I said

1371
01:03:50.280 --> 01:03:50.679
<v Speaker 1>the guys.

1372
01:03:50.719 --> 01:03:53.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'll say it right to your face, Samoa Joe.

1373
01:03:53.880 --> 01:03:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Just like the game of where It's all over again,

1374
01:03:56.000 --> 01:03:58.239
<v Speaker 2>this is a game where I'm like, oh, this is

1375
01:03:58.400 --> 01:04:02.159
<v Speaker 2>hitting the spot right now now. Uh, it is simple.

1376
01:04:03.000 --> 01:04:06.880
<v Speaker 2>You are gomachma. It's an RPG, so guess what you

1377
01:04:06.960 --> 01:04:11.320
<v Speaker 2>have amnesia? He doesn't remember anything, and so he finds

1378
01:04:11.360 --> 01:04:14.159
<v Speaker 2>himself on an island and he does the only logical thing,

1379
01:04:14.199 --> 01:04:17.280
<v Speaker 2>which is there's some pirates. I should take over that

1380
01:04:17.320 --> 01:04:18.480
<v Speaker 2>gang and be a pirate now.

1381
01:04:18.840 --> 01:04:20.480
<v Speaker 4>And oh my god, wait a second.

1382
01:04:20.480 --> 01:04:23.079
<v Speaker 2>This was the plot of that crystal uh, the coke

1383
01:04:23.159 --> 01:04:24.639
<v Speaker 2>crystal coconut thing from.

1384
01:04:26.880 --> 01:04:31.239
<v Speaker 4>Yes, that's the same plot. Somebody I thought they were

1385
01:04:31.239 --> 01:04:32.960
<v Speaker 4>a pirate it Uh.

1386
01:04:33.360 --> 01:04:36.000
<v Speaker 2>It is uh, like I said, pretty simple, like you're

1387
01:04:36.239 --> 01:04:38.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's an action beat him up kind of game.

1388
01:04:38.159 --> 01:04:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1389
01:04:38.719 --> 01:04:41.239
<v Speaker 2>I find that to be very fun. I love the

1390
01:04:41.280 --> 01:04:43.280
<v Speaker 2>turn based combat in Infinite Wealth.

1391
01:04:43.599 --> 01:04:43.719
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

1392
01:04:43.760 --> 01:04:46.400
<v Speaker 2>This I think is probably more similar previous Yakus games,

1393
01:04:46.400 --> 01:04:48.519
<v Speaker 2>but like, uh like I said, I played some zero.

1394
01:04:49.079 --> 01:04:53.360
<v Speaker 2>This is immediately more punchy fast, like you just you

1395
01:04:53.400 --> 01:04:56.079
<v Speaker 2>feel more capable immediately. It's just it's trying to get

1396
01:04:56.079 --> 01:04:58.280
<v Speaker 2>into the good stuff faster because this is like a

1397
01:04:58.320 --> 01:05:02.880
<v Speaker 2>side story. The way it's really hitting though, is Goro.

1398
01:05:03.119 --> 01:05:06.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, Maduma is just very very kind as a

1399
01:05:06.480 --> 01:05:10.320
<v Speaker 2>character and always is trying to find the like the

1400
01:05:10.360 --> 01:05:14.400
<v Speaker 2>most compassionate way to handle every situation. And it's just

1401
01:05:14.440 --> 01:05:16.480
<v Speaker 2>so nice to be playing a game like that right now.

1402
01:05:17.519 --> 01:05:19.440
<v Speaker 2>And you know, there's a little kid that kind of

1403
01:05:19.519 --> 01:05:22.039
<v Speaker 2>is like, hey, you know, I have the really bad asthma.

1404
01:05:22.280 --> 01:05:24.199
<v Speaker 2>I've never left this island. Can you help me do that?

1405
01:05:24.239 --> 01:05:26.360
<v Speaker 2>And that's like your first goal. And then quickly you

1406
01:05:26.440 --> 01:05:29.480
<v Speaker 2>find like some of your old Yakuza buddies and they

1407
01:05:29.519 --> 01:05:31.519
<v Speaker 2>are you know, they're like, oh my god, I can't

1408
01:05:31.519 --> 01:05:33.480
<v Speaker 2>you remember us. But we're going to take you to

1409
01:05:33.960 --> 01:05:37.239
<v Speaker 2>mad Atlantis on this this crazy island that has all

1410
01:05:37.239 --> 01:05:38.840
<v Speaker 2>this stuff, and you're like, okay, and it just keeps

1411
01:05:38.840 --> 01:05:42.360
<v Speaker 2>building and building, and I think it's just a really

1412
01:05:42.599 --> 01:05:45.840
<v Speaker 2>solid Let's take the stuff that we have from these

1413
01:05:45.920 --> 01:05:48.239
<v Speaker 2>Yakuza games, we just made all this Hawaii stuff. We

1414
01:05:49.239 --> 01:05:51.199
<v Speaker 2>let's kind of focus on a couple of things. Let's

1415
01:05:51.199 --> 01:05:55.039
<v Speaker 2>give you ce combat very similar to Assassin's creed for

1416
01:05:55.760 --> 01:05:57.960
<v Speaker 2>and kind of just let you loose, and it kind

1417
01:05:58.000 --> 01:06:01.480
<v Speaker 2>of it nails all that stuff. It's not anything spectacularly,

1418
01:06:01.960 --> 01:06:04.159
<v Speaker 2>but it nails all that stuff where if you are

1419
01:06:04.280 --> 01:06:07.119
<v Speaker 2>into these characters and into this world, it's I think

1420
01:06:07.119 --> 01:06:08.960
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of a can't miss game. I would really

1421
01:06:09.000 --> 01:06:09.559
<v Speaker 2>recommend it.

1422
01:06:09.639 --> 01:06:11.760
<v Speaker 4>What about somebody like me who's played a little bit

1423
01:06:11.760 --> 01:06:14.519
<v Speaker 4>here and there, but not too much of any of them.

1424
01:06:14.599 --> 01:06:16.480
<v Speaker 4>You think this is one to stick my teeth and

1425
01:06:16.519 --> 01:06:18.519
<v Speaker 4>you think I should maybe play at Yaka is a

1426
01:06:18.639 --> 01:06:21.239
<v Speaker 4>zero first or even an Infinite Well first over this?

1427
01:06:21.800 --> 01:06:25.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I would probably play Infinite Wealth first

1428
01:06:26.639 --> 01:06:28.079
<v Speaker 2>or one of the other ones. Kind of start where

1429
01:06:28.119 --> 01:06:31.440
<v Speaker 2>you want to start. I think once you have your

1430
01:06:31.480 --> 01:06:33.880
<v Speaker 2>footing in the series, then going to one of these

1431
01:06:33.880 --> 01:06:36.119
<v Speaker 2>side stories probably makes sense at that point. But I

1432
01:06:36.440 --> 01:06:38.480
<v Speaker 2>would probably recommend this one over like, because this one

1433
01:06:38.559 --> 01:06:40.360
<v Speaker 2>just seems like it doesn't really have any of the

1434
01:06:40.440 --> 01:06:42.880
<v Speaker 2>rough edges some of the other side stories have. It's

1435
01:06:42.960 --> 01:06:44.880
<v Speaker 2>just all around really solid.

1436
01:06:45.840 --> 01:06:48.639
<v Speaker 4>Is just one of any old Sega Arcade games too?

1437
01:06:49.119 --> 01:06:51.719
<v Speaker 2>I think it does. Yeah, I'm trying to remember. I

1438
01:06:51.719 --> 01:06:53.599
<v Speaker 2>feel like I saw those I was like trying to

1439
01:06:53.639 --> 01:06:57.639
<v Speaker 2>run I random aast them. I think I'll look it up. Yeah, yeah,

1440
01:06:57.679 --> 01:06:59.800
<v Speaker 2>it definitely did. I just can't remember what it was.

1441
01:07:00.559 --> 01:07:04.039
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I think it's surprisingly good. Where I was like,

1442
01:07:04.159 --> 01:07:06.519
<v Speaker 2>I bet I'm gonna get bored of this, and now

1443
01:07:06.519 --> 01:07:08.559
<v Speaker 2>it just moves along. It does like kind of go

1444
01:07:08.599 --> 01:07:10.599
<v Speaker 2>at its own pace at the beginning, where you are

1445
01:07:11.159 --> 01:07:13.920
<v Speaker 2>going to go from one story beat to to the next,

1446
01:07:13.960 --> 01:07:15.760
<v Speaker 2>and then there's a lot of like fighting in between.

1447
01:07:16.400 --> 01:07:19.159
<v Speaker 2>But they so they take their time setting things up.

1448
01:07:19.440 --> 01:07:21.840
<v Speaker 2>But I thought that setup was all pretty you know,

1449
01:07:21.960 --> 01:07:24.360
<v Speaker 2>pretty good in terms of getting me on board with

1450
01:07:24.440 --> 01:07:26.719
<v Speaker 2>caring about the characters. And now I have my cool

1451
01:07:26.719 --> 01:07:29.239
<v Speaker 2>little crew of you know, there's the tough guy that

1452
01:07:29.480 --> 01:07:30.920
<v Speaker 2>of course he was on the other side and I

1453
01:07:30.920 --> 01:07:32.360
<v Speaker 2>beat him up and I beat him up so good,

1454
01:07:32.360 --> 01:07:34.360
<v Speaker 2>and then now he's my first mate and you do

1455
01:07:34.440 --> 01:07:36.280
<v Speaker 2>that over and over again because it's a yak Kuza game.

1456
01:07:36.400 --> 01:07:39.480
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I think I highly recommend it to anyone.

1457
01:07:39.199 --> 01:07:41.800
<v Speaker 1>That's in the series. Fairly linear grub.

1458
01:07:42.559 --> 01:07:46.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, so so far, I've only just kind of

1459
01:07:46.920 --> 01:07:49.320
<v Speaker 2>gotten to Matlantis. I wonder if it opens up a

1460
01:07:49.320 --> 01:07:51.760
<v Speaker 2>little bit at that point. But I think that for

1461
01:07:51.800 --> 01:07:53.119
<v Speaker 2>a game like this, I think you want to be

1462
01:07:53.159 --> 01:07:55.000
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more linear, just kind of like, you know,

1463
01:07:55.119 --> 01:07:57.760
<v Speaker 2>get build the content, make that as ghost possible, and

1464
01:07:57.840 --> 01:08:00.000
<v Speaker 2>shovel it over to me. And that's what it's been

1465
01:08:00.079 --> 01:08:00.400
<v Speaker 2>so far.

1466
01:08:00.760 --> 01:08:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Fantastic. I think we should all go to Hawaii. We

1467
01:08:04.320 --> 01:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>should just do it like a building exercise.

1468
01:08:09.360 --> 01:08:12.079
<v Speaker 4>I really, I really want to. And I hang out

1469
01:08:12.079 --> 01:08:12.880
<v Speaker 4>with a dolphins.

1470
01:08:13.199 --> 01:08:16.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let's just I swam with the dolphins in Jamaica,

1471
01:08:16.359 --> 01:08:18.279
<v Speaker 2>but I've never been Hawaii with those dolphins.

1472
01:08:18.359 --> 01:08:23.560
<v Speaker 1>So in Hawaii, yeah, please, please let's do that. Oh God,

1473
01:08:23.600 --> 01:08:26.359
<v Speaker 1>I need to recharge on an island. I won't even

1474
01:08:26.399 --> 01:08:28.840
<v Speaker 1>make us go to the Disney Resort. I would appreciate

1475
01:08:28.880 --> 01:08:31.159
<v Speaker 1>if we did, but I won't make us. Now, Mike,

1476
01:08:31.479 --> 01:08:33.760
<v Speaker 1>I know that Native Hawaiians feel some type of way

1477
01:08:33.760 --> 01:08:36.079
<v Speaker 1>about the Dole Plantation, but there is a pretty cool

1478
01:08:36.119 --> 01:08:38.920
<v Speaker 1>hedge maze at the Doll Plantation where they grow pineapples.

1479
01:08:38.920 --> 01:08:40.479
<v Speaker 1>Would you be okay going there?

1480
01:08:41.159 --> 01:08:43.079
<v Speaker 4>Only if I can still be an ally to the

1481
01:08:43.119 --> 01:08:45.680
<v Speaker 4>Hawaiian people. If they don't want me to, I will

1482
01:08:46.000 --> 01:08:47.720
<v Speaker 4>not do it, all right, Well, no, thank you?

1483
01:08:47.840 --> 01:08:49.640
<v Speaker 2>He just doesn't want to be around fruit. Come on,

1484
01:08:49.720 --> 01:08:50.720
<v Speaker 2>don't let this one.

1485
01:08:50.880 --> 01:08:51.039
<v Speaker 1>Hey.

1486
01:08:51.880 --> 01:08:53.960
<v Speaker 4>The arcade game they added to this one is The

1487
01:08:53.960 --> 01:08:56.600
<v Speaker 4>Ocean Hunter, which is basically just House of the Dead

1488
01:08:56.680 --> 01:09:03.560
<v Speaker 4>but with fish. It also thematically very appropriate. That sounds

1489
01:09:03.640 --> 01:09:04.359
<v Speaker 4>really incredible.

1490
01:09:04.720 --> 01:09:07.319
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, yeah, during the dump truck this week, when

1491
01:09:07.359 --> 01:09:10.239
<v Speaker 1>we have the catch up with Backlar, we should just

1492
01:09:10.319 --> 01:09:14.319
<v Speaker 1>tell him we've already decided we're going to Hawaii for yeah.

1493
01:09:15.119 --> 01:09:17.199
<v Speaker 4>Flights, and it'll show up in the expense thing and

1494
01:09:17.199 --> 01:09:18.119
<v Speaker 4>he'll laugh exactly.

1495
01:09:18.880 --> 01:09:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, all right, sounds they have microphones out in

1496
01:09:21.800 --> 01:09:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Hawaii and the Giant Bomb Lulau's great.

1497
01:09:26.880 --> 01:09:29.840
<v Speaker 4>What's what's your favorite piece of media set in Hawaii?

1498
01:09:30.399 --> 01:09:34.399
<v Speaker 4>Hard Ticket to Hawaii? Uh Oh, it's a good movie.

1499
01:09:34.680 --> 01:09:36.479
<v Speaker 1>Giant Bomb. Game of the Year twenty twenty five.

1500
01:09:38.439 --> 01:09:43.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean Leland Stitch is very good. Getting Sarah Marshall

1501
01:09:43.039 --> 01:09:43.640
<v Speaker 4>was a fun movie.

1502
01:09:44.359 --> 01:09:45.439
<v Speaker 2>That's dick.

1503
01:09:46.199 --> 01:09:49.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we saw his dick in his puppets and thoose

1504
01:09:49.319 --> 01:09:50.359
<v Speaker 4>aren't the same thing.

1505
01:09:51.520 --> 01:09:52.880
<v Speaker 2>No, No, they're not. You're right?

1506
01:09:53.159 --> 01:09:53.560
<v Speaker 1>All right?

1507
01:09:53.640 --> 01:09:56.560
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well I liked Pearl Harbor.

1508
01:09:58.800 --> 01:09:59.760
<v Speaker 4>Did that sound bite?

1509
01:10:00.039 --> 01:10:05.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, We're gonna have to talk to our own

1510
01:10:05.159 --> 01:10:09.800
<v Speaker 2>HR department after that and we'll be back with some news.

1511
01:10:09.560 --> 01:10:16.560
<v Speaker 1>After this quick bricky break breaking news everyone. Uh oh,

1512
01:10:16.680 --> 01:10:27.960
<v Speaker 1>let me play the music first. We've lost Dan. We

1513
01:10:28.000 --> 01:10:31.840
<v Speaker 1>can't find him. He might have fallen into a hole,

1514
01:10:32.199 --> 01:10:34.600
<v Speaker 1>shoot hole, maybe fell into his toilet.

1515
01:10:34.479 --> 01:10:37.279
<v Speaker 2>Maybe walked out the wrong door and fell down a story.

1516
01:10:36.800 --> 01:10:41.039
<v Speaker 1>Because one day we'll find Dan and may or maybe

1517
01:10:41.119 --> 01:10:43.239
<v Speaker 1>Dan will find his way back to us.

1518
01:10:43.600 --> 01:10:46.600
<v Speaker 2>I always preferred Chris anyhow, Yeah, Chris was great.

1519
01:10:46.880 --> 01:10:50.239
<v Speaker 1>I hope Steve has some snacks prepared so Steve doesn't

1520
01:10:50.279 --> 01:10:55.359
<v Speaker 1>have to starve everything. But hey, who knows anyway. Jeff

1521
01:10:55.359 --> 01:10:56.199
<v Speaker 1>cub the news.

1522
01:10:56.920 --> 01:10:59.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I got some news here plenty to talk about.

1523
01:10:59.760 --> 01:11:04.039
<v Speaker 2>Let's get into it. GTA six news. Rockstars are reportedly

1524
01:11:04.119 --> 01:11:09.920
<v Speaker 2>planning roadblocks slash Fortnite style user generated content. Rockstars are

1525
01:11:09.920 --> 01:11:13.119
<v Speaker 2>reportedly met with top Roadblocks and Fortnite creators to discuss

1526
01:11:13.119 --> 01:11:16.760
<v Speaker 2>building custom game experiences within GTA six. They're planning to

1527
01:11:16.800 --> 01:11:20.119
<v Speaker 2>allow creators to modify GTA six's environment and assets to

1528
01:11:20.159 --> 01:11:24.760
<v Speaker 2>incorporate their own IP. This move follows rockstars acquisition of

1529
01:11:25.199 --> 01:11:28.399
<v Speaker 2>CFX dot Ra, the group behind popular modding tools for

1530
01:11:28.439 --> 01:11:31.880
<v Speaker 2>GTA five and red Dead Redemption two. GTA five role

1531
01:11:31.920 --> 01:11:34.720
<v Speaker 2>playing has seen a surge in popularity as well. Blah

1532
01:11:34.760 --> 01:11:39.279
<v Speaker 2>blah blah, this is not wouldn't be too shocking. You

1533
01:11:39.319 --> 01:11:41.800
<v Speaker 2>can kind of do this already in GTA five to

1534
01:11:41.840 --> 01:11:44.079
<v Speaker 2>a certain degree. There are a lot of like custom

1535
01:11:44.119 --> 01:11:46.479
<v Speaker 2>games that people build and then you share the code,

1536
01:11:46.560 --> 01:11:49.000
<v Speaker 2>you go in there and play it. But of course

1537
01:11:49.039 --> 01:11:51.680
<v Speaker 2>I think they want to amplify that because they want

1538
01:11:51.680 --> 01:11:53.760
<v Speaker 2>this game to last for twenty years. You know, the

1539
01:11:53.800 --> 01:11:56.479
<v Speaker 2>last one lasted for more than ten. They want this

1540
01:11:56.520 --> 01:11:58.239
<v Speaker 2>one to last probably for twenty and a big way

1541
01:11:58.399 --> 01:12:00.439
<v Speaker 2>to fuel that is well, what are other games that

1542
01:12:00.640 --> 01:12:03.239
<v Speaker 2>lasted for twenty years? Roadblocks came out in two thousand

1543
01:12:03.279 --> 01:12:06.920
<v Speaker 2>and six. I think like we could do that, and

1544
01:12:06.960 --> 01:12:09.199
<v Speaker 2>of course they could this also just like you know,

1545
01:12:09.359 --> 01:12:13.119
<v Speaker 2>supercharges your your earnings, your revenue because you got a

1546
01:12:13.119 --> 01:12:15.760
<v Speaker 2>lot of content that people can sell in your game.

1547
01:12:16.199 --> 01:12:17.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, you give them a cut, but then you

1548
01:12:17.720 --> 01:12:20.279
<v Speaker 2>take a cut of it as well, and they're making

1549
01:12:20.279 --> 01:12:23.640
<v Speaker 2>content for you. So I think this is kind of inevitable.

1550
01:12:25.279 --> 01:12:27.439
<v Speaker 2>Is it something that you guys think is what you

1551
01:12:27.479 --> 01:12:30.840
<v Speaker 2>want from a GTA online too or whatever?

1552
01:12:30.439 --> 01:12:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, don't know, I don't know what what I

1553
01:12:34.720 --> 01:12:36.640
<v Speaker 1>personally want from GTA online.

1554
01:12:36.640 --> 01:12:39.479
<v Speaker 4>To be honest, it almost it almost can't be for

1555
01:12:39.520 --> 01:12:42.479
<v Speaker 4>me in some ways, I got you know it, that's

1556
01:12:42.520 --> 01:12:45.199
<v Speaker 4>just not really what I'm looking for. Probably one of

1557
01:12:45.239 --> 01:12:47.880
<v Speaker 4>these I think it makes a ton of sense, right, Like,

1558
01:12:47.920 --> 01:12:52.439
<v Speaker 4>what helped GTA five be such a big success, a

1559
01:12:52.439 --> 01:12:55.800
<v Speaker 4>bigger success than its predecessors, which were already huge. They

1560
01:12:55.800 --> 01:12:58.039
<v Speaker 4>found a way to grow by doing the whole online

1561
01:12:58.079 --> 01:12:59.960
<v Speaker 4>social thing, right, that was a big deal.

1562
01:13:00.039 --> 01:13:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, and now, as we know, it's not enough to

1563
01:13:02.920 --> 01:13:04.920
<v Speaker 2>just make another one of the last thing that was

1564
01:13:05.000 --> 01:13:06.800
<v Speaker 2>very popular. You got to find another way to have

1565
01:13:06.880 --> 01:13:10.079
<v Speaker 2>this kind of exponential growth. So yeah, going deeper into

1566
01:13:10.079 --> 01:13:12.840
<v Speaker 2>the whole UGC thing just is kind of the next

1567
01:13:12.920 --> 01:13:16.000
<v Speaker 2>logical step in a lot of ways, right. I Mean,

1568
01:13:16.039 --> 01:13:18.720
<v Speaker 2>I think if any like if any game could do this,

1569
01:13:18.880 --> 01:13:21.640
<v Speaker 2>they would because we look at how the earnings potential

1570
01:13:21.640 --> 01:13:23.399
<v Speaker 2>of stuff like roadblocks, so hey, if we could do that,

1571
01:13:23.399 --> 01:13:25.279
<v Speaker 2>we absolutely would. But most games can't pull this off.

1572
01:13:25.319 --> 01:13:27.239
<v Speaker 2>Grand Theft Auto obviously is one of these games that

1573
01:13:27.720 --> 01:13:31.319
<v Speaker 2>can do this. They have the platform to support this

1574
01:13:31.399 --> 01:13:34.800
<v Speaker 2>sort of business model, So yeah, them going this way

1575
01:13:34.840 --> 01:13:38.079
<v Speaker 2>doesn't surprise me too much. And you know, really, to

1576
01:13:38.159 --> 01:13:40.760
<v Speaker 2>put things in perspective. Those Roadblocks games, like some of

1577
01:13:40.800 --> 01:13:44.880
<v Speaker 2>the most popular ones, they have McDonald's happy meal deals,

1578
01:13:44.960 --> 01:13:46.479
<v Speaker 2>like where I will go to They'll take my kids

1579
01:13:46.479 --> 01:13:48.640
<v Speaker 2>to have to get happy meals, and I'll be like,

1580
01:13:48.680 --> 01:13:51.279
<v Speaker 2>what is this toy? And I'm like, wait a second,

1581
01:13:51.319 --> 01:13:53.359
<v Speaker 2>and it took me like it took me like looking

1582
01:13:53.359 --> 01:13:56.000
<v Speaker 2>at it, like it doesn't say roadblocks anywhere on there

1583
01:13:56.079 --> 01:13:58.600
<v Speaker 2>the deals with the people who made the game inside

1584
01:13:58.640 --> 01:14:01.840
<v Speaker 2>a Roadblocks It's crazy, but like that's how big it is.

1585
01:14:01.960 --> 01:14:06.239
<v Speaker 2>Kids are obsessed. There's hundreds of millions of players that

1586
01:14:06.239 --> 01:14:09.000
<v Speaker 2>that is where like the next big thing in gaming

1587
01:14:09.039 --> 01:14:12.600
<v Speaker 2>can happen. It's in these UGC platforms. So I think

1588
01:14:13.039 --> 01:14:14.880
<v Speaker 2>being one of if you can do it, you want

1589
01:14:14.880 --> 01:14:16.960
<v Speaker 2>to do it because that way, when someone makes the

1590
01:14:17.039 --> 01:14:20.479
<v Speaker 2>next Doda or whatever, maybe it happens inside of Grand

1591
01:14:20.479 --> 01:14:23.079
<v Speaker 2>Theft Auto and they can just glimb themselves onto that

1592
01:14:23.119 --> 01:14:24.560
<v Speaker 2>and take a lot of the earnings. It kind of

1593
01:14:24.560 --> 01:14:28.359
<v Speaker 2>sounds perverse and not great when you really let out

1594
01:14:28.399 --> 01:14:29.479
<v Speaker 2>like that, but that's what they're doing.

1595
01:14:29.680 --> 01:14:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, go ahead, Mike.

1596
01:14:32.319 --> 01:14:34.359
<v Speaker 4>As is gonna say, somebody's going to make a Pokemon

1597
01:14:34.520 --> 01:14:37.039
<v Speaker 4>like but with the street workers, aren't they?

1598
01:14:37.239 --> 01:14:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Oh, Yeah, someone's going to take away all the

1599
01:14:40.920 --> 01:14:44.920
<v Speaker 1>medicine and required medication from people that need it and

1600
01:14:44.960 --> 01:14:46.000
<v Speaker 1>just stick them on a farm.

1601
01:14:46.399 --> 01:14:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, yeah.

1602
01:14:49.159 --> 01:14:51.159
<v Speaker 4>But that's kind of thing. Is like I almost went

1603
01:14:51.239 --> 01:14:53.239
<v Speaker 4>it all to like still be in theme with GTA,

1604
01:14:53.319 --> 01:14:55.079
<v Speaker 4>but it's it's not gonna be that, right, And I

1605
01:14:55.079 --> 01:14:57.920
<v Speaker 4>guess it kind of has to not be that you're

1606
01:14:57.920 --> 01:14:59.840
<v Speaker 4>gonna have to be able to do almost anything to it.

1607
01:14:59.840 --> 01:15:02.399
<v Speaker 4>It's it's you know, it's like what Fortnite has become roebucks,

1608
01:15:02.439 --> 01:15:05.079
<v Speaker 4>it's going to be a platform upon itself, and GTA

1609
01:15:05.199 --> 01:15:08.880
<v Speaker 4>Online already kind of was that this is really going

1610
01:15:08.920 --> 01:15:09.319
<v Speaker 4>to be that.

1611
01:15:09.760 --> 01:15:12.359
<v Speaker 1>I was there. I initially took issue Greb when you

1612
01:15:12.399 --> 01:15:14.760
<v Speaker 1>were talking about how they're going to rely on you GC,

1613
01:15:14.920 --> 01:15:18.239
<v Speaker 1>but I didn't factor in that they could those users

1614
01:15:18.279 --> 01:15:23.800
<v Speaker 1>could potentially earn some type of revenue. Oh so that's okay,

1615
01:15:24.279 --> 01:15:25.079
<v Speaker 1>I guess.

1616
01:15:24.840 --> 01:15:26.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like you want you want the split to be

1617
01:15:26.560 --> 01:15:30.319
<v Speaker 2>better than it is for roadblocks obviously too, But I

1618
01:15:30.319 --> 01:15:33.439
<v Speaker 2>mean this does feel like, you know, we're here, like

1619
01:15:33.520 --> 01:15:36.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, the promise of modding and improving games was

1620
01:15:36.600 --> 01:15:38.920
<v Speaker 2>always like, you know, if we could capture the value here,

1621
01:15:38.920 --> 01:15:41.560
<v Speaker 2>this would be great. Well, they've done that now, and uh,

1622
01:15:41.760 --> 01:15:43.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, my Minecraft. I don't know if people like

1623
01:15:43.680 --> 01:15:46.600
<v Speaker 2>look into like how Minecraft works these days, that Minecraft

1624
01:15:46.600 --> 01:15:49.960
<v Speaker 2>marketplace is just constantly refreshed with new stuff from their

1625
01:15:49.960 --> 01:15:53.359
<v Speaker 2>community creators. It's a store. Those people get a cut.

1626
01:15:53.399 --> 01:15:56.840
<v Speaker 2>It is their full time job to make that stuff. Yeah,

1627
01:15:56.880 --> 01:15:58.720
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be the same way for Grand Theft Auto.

1628
01:15:58.520 --> 01:16:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Without it, you know, like prop hunt is across so

1629
01:16:02.079 --> 01:16:05.439
<v Speaker 1>many different games and modes now that originally started out

1630
01:16:05.479 --> 01:16:07.000
<v Speaker 1>as like a Gary's mod type of thing.

1631
01:16:07.079 --> 01:16:09.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for sure, and then we'll get a lot of that.

1632
01:16:09.680 --> 01:16:13.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's gonna happen. Someone is gonna make the next

1633
01:16:13.560 --> 01:16:16.960
<v Speaker 1>viral sensation out of the next GTA online.

1634
01:16:17.680 --> 01:16:20.439
<v Speaker 2>I think if fans hear this though, and they feel

1635
01:16:20.439 --> 01:16:22.199
<v Speaker 2>a little anxiety, like I don't, I don't blame them

1636
01:16:22.199 --> 01:16:24.720
<v Speaker 2>because this is a different thing than the Grand Theft

1637
01:16:24.760 --> 01:16:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Auto made by rock Star that they fell in love with, right, so,

1638
01:16:30.239 --> 01:16:32.479
<v Speaker 2>you know, it is a siren song that a company

1639
01:16:32.520 --> 01:16:35.399
<v Speaker 2>like Rockstar and take To can't ignore. They are clearly

1640
01:16:35.439 --> 01:16:37.960
<v Speaker 2>investing in it. By the acquisitions that they're making at

1641
01:16:37.960 --> 01:16:42.520
<v Speaker 2>CFX dotre and the role playing server people that they purchased,

1642
01:16:42.840 --> 01:16:46.279
<v Speaker 2>they are going all in on UGC. So like, if

1643
01:16:46.279 --> 01:16:48.039
<v Speaker 2>you're looking around by oh, okay, well, are they gonna

1644
01:16:48.079 --> 01:16:51.079
<v Speaker 2>leave me behind? There's a chance. Yeah, absolutely, there's a

1645
01:16:51.119 --> 01:16:52.920
<v Speaker 2>chance they're going to leave behind the traditional player that

1646
01:16:52.960 --> 01:16:54.520
<v Speaker 2>wants a Grand Theft Auto. In a lot of ways

1647
01:16:54.520 --> 01:16:58.239
<v Speaker 2>they already have, based on supporting GTA online, over making

1648
01:16:58.279 --> 01:17:00.720
<v Speaker 2>like expansions for GTA five, something they did with all

1649
01:17:00.720 --> 01:17:03.000
<v Speaker 2>the previous Grand Theft Auto games, or even just making

1650
01:17:03.079 --> 01:17:05.600
<v Speaker 2>other games. Right, they used to release a game every year.

1651
01:17:05.920 --> 01:17:08.720
<v Speaker 2>They haven't done that since Grand Theft Auto five. They've

1652
01:17:08.760 --> 01:17:13.199
<v Speaker 2>released like one game since then. So yeah, like if

1653
01:17:13.239 --> 01:17:16.359
<v Speaker 2>you are anxious about that, this is part of that process.

1654
01:17:16.399 --> 01:17:18.119
<v Speaker 2>But then there are still developers out there. You're just

1655
01:17:18.119 --> 01:17:20.840
<v Speaker 2>talking about Yakuza. Most people just like making those games

1656
01:17:20.960 --> 01:17:24.199
<v Speaker 2>and not like going following the following a lot of

1657
01:17:24.199 --> 01:17:25.760
<v Speaker 2>these trends. They just want to keep making the games

1658
01:17:25.800 --> 01:17:28.760
<v Speaker 2>they're making, so that stuff will happen. But maybe rock

1659
01:17:28.920 --> 01:17:31.479
<v Speaker 2>maybe Rockstar and Grand Theft Auto will be permanently different.

1660
01:17:31.680 --> 01:17:35.399
<v Speaker 1>Why does a game like Dreams that is all UGC,

1661
01:17:35.520 --> 01:17:38.800
<v Speaker 1>how come that doesn't take off? Versus like a roadblocks

1662
01:17:39.079 --> 01:17:39.840
<v Speaker 1>you just need like you.

1663
01:17:39.800 --> 01:17:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Need that lightning rod, right, you need that something like

1664
01:17:42.000 --> 01:17:45.960
<v Speaker 2>that central gravitational pull to something and then you build

1665
01:17:46.000 --> 01:17:50.000
<v Speaker 2>around that, you know, roadblocks. I guess was like maybe

1666
01:17:50.000 --> 01:17:52.199
<v Speaker 2>it's thing was it was completely free and easy to

1667
01:17:52.279 --> 01:17:53.039
<v Speaker 2>use and it.

1668
01:17:53.039 --> 01:17:56.760
<v Speaker 4>Was so kid focused. Yeah, yeah, it was free and

1669
01:17:57.079 --> 01:17:58.399
<v Speaker 4>easily accessible to kids.

1670
01:17:58.760 --> 01:18:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but doing it with mine Craft obviously Minecraft is Minecraft,

1671
01:18:01.880 --> 01:18:05.119
<v Speaker 2>so of course that was gonna work. And Fortnite same thing.

1672
01:18:05.439 --> 01:18:07.359
<v Speaker 1>Dreams is also never on PC.

1673
01:18:07.880 --> 01:18:12.199
<v Speaker 2>Yes, exactly. Yeah, stuck on huge detriment there, yep about it.

1674
01:18:12.239 --> 01:18:16.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get into some Nintendo news. A Nintendo

1675
01:18:16.119 --> 01:18:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Switch game vouchers, you know. Actually, let's start this off

1676
01:18:18.600 --> 01:18:21.399
<v Speaker 2>by talking about, well, what do you guys think Nintendo

1677
01:18:21.439 --> 01:18:23.399
<v Speaker 2>Switch two games are going to cost? You think they're

1678
01:18:23.399 --> 01:18:25.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna go up to seventy dollars kind of across the

1679
01:18:25.079 --> 01:18:29.039
<v Speaker 2>board for Nintendo published games.

1680
01:18:27.720 --> 01:18:30.920
<v Speaker 4>Some variable pricing even on the Switch one, so there'll

1681
01:18:30.960 --> 01:18:32.359
<v Speaker 4>be some of that. But yeah, I think we're gonna

1682
01:18:32.359 --> 01:18:34.479
<v Speaker 4>see a lot more seventy dollars. Games like Mario Kart

1683
01:18:34.520 --> 01:18:35.720
<v Speaker 4>will cost seventy dollars.

1684
01:18:36.119 --> 01:18:38.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, they're gonna have other ways to make more money,

1685
01:18:38.439 --> 01:18:41.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of stealth price increases here. That is what these

1686
01:18:41.760 --> 01:18:44.880
<v Speaker 2>next two stories are about. Nintendo Switch game vouchers, the

1687
01:18:44.920 --> 01:18:47.560
<v Speaker 2>offer that gets you like two games for one hundred dollars,

1688
01:18:47.560 --> 01:18:50.359
<v Speaker 2>so you could buy two sixty dollars games excuse me

1689
01:18:50.439 --> 01:18:53.880
<v Speaker 2>using these vouchers, and you save twenty bucks or like,

1690
01:18:53.960 --> 01:18:56.199
<v Speaker 2>let's say you've got the Tiers of the Kingdom with that,

1691
01:18:56.239 --> 01:18:58.159
<v Speaker 2>you would save you know, the twenty bucks just on

1692
01:18:58.239 --> 01:19:00.439
<v Speaker 2>that game, and then ten bucks on another game, so

1693
01:19:00.479 --> 01:19:03.039
<v Speaker 2>a total of thirty dollars worth of savings. Well, this

1694
01:19:03.159 --> 01:19:05.159
<v Speaker 2>offer is not going to work with Switch two games.

1695
01:19:05.439 --> 01:19:08.239
<v Speaker 2>Nintendo has clarified that it's switched game voucher's program will

1696
01:19:08.239 --> 01:19:11.039
<v Speaker 2>not apply to games released for the upcoming Switch to console.

1697
01:19:11.399 --> 01:19:14.079
<v Speaker 2>The game vouchers program allows players to purchase two vouchers.

1698
01:19:14.079 --> 01:19:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Blah blah blah. You know, there's a chance they have

1699
01:19:16.640 --> 01:19:20.560
<v Speaker 2>a voucher program for Switch to specifically. There's also a

1700
01:19:20.640 --> 01:19:23.920
<v Speaker 2>chance they are just phasing this out and aren't going

1701
01:19:24.000 --> 01:19:26.199
<v Speaker 2>to do this anymore, so people who always took advantage

1702
01:19:26.239 --> 01:19:28.680
<v Speaker 2>of this won't be able to do so. On the

1703
01:19:28.800 --> 01:19:30.720
<v Speaker 2>other side of things, once you do make a purchase,

1704
01:19:30.720 --> 01:19:32.720
<v Speaker 2>you used to get something at least on the e shop,

1705
01:19:33.039 --> 01:19:35.199
<v Speaker 2>and really, I think maybe actually got this. If you

1706
01:19:35.680 --> 01:19:38.159
<v Speaker 2>purchase physical games and like when you registered it with

1707
01:19:38.159 --> 01:19:41.319
<v Speaker 2>your console, but I can't remember Nintendo is ending It's

1708
01:19:41.359 --> 01:19:45.880
<v Speaker 2>mind Nintendo gold points switch E Shop rewards scheme. So

1709
01:19:46.000 --> 01:19:47.680
<v Speaker 2>you buy something on the e shop. When you do,

1710
01:19:47.880 --> 01:19:50.520
<v Speaker 2>you get like a ten percent of that in like

1711
01:19:50.840 --> 01:19:54.039
<v Speaker 2>a worth of gold coins. And those gold coins are

1712
01:19:54.119 --> 01:19:55.960
<v Speaker 2>currency that you could just use on the e shop

1713
01:19:56.039 --> 01:19:58.000
<v Speaker 2>to purchase games. So like four hundred and eighty gold

1714
01:19:58.079 --> 01:20:00.840
<v Speaker 2>coins was four dollars and eighty cents, so you would

1715
01:20:00.840 --> 01:20:03.920
<v Speaker 2>get that discounted off your next game. I really like

1716
01:20:04.000 --> 01:20:05.800
<v Speaker 2>this because it was like, well, you can't trade in

1717
01:20:05.840 --> 01:20:07.920
<v Speaker 2>your digital games, but you get this little you know,

1718
01:20:07.960 --> 01:20:09.359
<v Speaker 2>bonus on the end, so I can use that to

1719
01:20:09.399 --> 01:20:10.800
<v Speaker 2>kind of buy my next game. So it's like I'm

1720
01:20:10.800 --> 01:20:12.600
<v Speaker 2>almost getting a little bit of a trade in value

1721
01:20:12.840 --> 01:20:15.119
<v Speaker 2>with some of these games as I'm playing them. They're

1722
01:20:15.159 --> 01:20:17.640
<v Speaker 2>getting rid of that as well. They're phasing it out.

1723
01:20:17.840 --> 01:20:19.880
<v Speaker 2>So this is another way that people had saved money

1724
01:20:19.920 --> 01:20:22.760
<v Speaker 2>buying digital games, and they are getting into that another

1725
01:20:22.840 --> 01:20:24.399
<v Speaker 2>kind of stealth price increase.

1726
01:20:24.439 --> 01:20:27.000
<v Speaker 3>Man, I didn't realize here. I just like seeing this headline.

1727
01:20:27.000 --> 01:20:29.960
<v Speaker 3>I logged in, and I didn't realize every month, I've

1728
01:20:29.960 --> 01:20:33.439
<v Speaker 3>had tons and tons of these platinum and gold coins expiring,

1729
01:20:34.039 --> 01:20:35.840
<v Speaker 3>like just tons of them, and so like, are the

1730
01:20:35.840 --> 01:20:39.119
<v Speaker 3>gold ones gonna just like if I have thirty five

1731
01:20:39.199 --> 01:20:40.880
<v Speaker 3>seventy five of my thing, now are they gonna be gone?

1732
01:20:40.920 --> 01:20:44.000
<v Speaker 4>And they're gonna have twelve months they said once that's

1733
01:20:44.039 --> 01:20:45.840
<v Speaker 4>right to redeem them. So you're gonna have some time

1734
01:20:46.239 --> 01:20:48.000
<v Speaker 4>to redeem them. But then yeah, I venture they're gonna

1735
01:20:48.000 --> 01:20:49.640
<v Speaker 4>got away, so you know, use it or lose it.

1736
01:20:49.880 --> 01:20:54.439
<v Speaker 4>Oh wow, man, that the voucher thing is a little

1737
01:20:54.479 --> 01:20:56.720
<v Speaker 4>bit of a of a whatever. I'm not shocked by

1738
01:20:56.760 --> 01:20:59.359
<v Speaker 4>that new console. Like I said that these games by

1739
01:20:59.399 --> 01:21:01.039
<v Speaker 4>cost a little bit. There might be a new thing

1740
01:21:01.119 --> 01:21:04.199
<v Speaker 4>there might not. The gold that sucks. I mean, that

1741
01:21:04.359 --> 01:21:07.680
<v Speaker 4>was just this nice little kick back, this nice little bonus,

1742
01:21:07.920 --> 01:21:09.680
<v Speaker 4>And that's just, you know, often what I would use

1743
01:21:09.720 --> 01:21:11.960
<v Speaker 4>to like, you know, get DLC for something or this

1744
01:21:12.039 --> 01:21:15.600
<v Speaker 4>little indie game or maybe something was on sale, right,

1745
01:21:15.600 --> 01:21:18.039
<v Speaker 4>it just felt like this nice thing. It's just bizarre

1746
01:21:18.119 --> 01:21:21.239
<v Speaker 4>when companies do this when they're doing really well, right,

1747
01:21:21.319 --> 01:21:23.840
<v Speaker 4>like it made a ton of money off the switch.

1748
01:21:24.119 --> 01:21:25.760
<v Speaker 4>They're about to make a lot of money off the

1749
01:21:25.760 --> 01:21:28.479
<v Speaker 4>switch too. It It kind of reminds me of like

1750
01:21:28.640 --> 01:21:32.840
<v Speaker 4>circa twenty nineteen when Disney was, you know, making a

1751
01:21:32.920 --> 01:21:36.000
<v Speaker 4>zillion dollars off of Marvel and Disney and Star Wars.

1752
01:21:36.319 --> 01:21:38.800
<v Speaker 4>And then they're like, uh, hey, you know how parking

1753
01:21:38.880 --> 01:21:41.319
<v Speaker 4>was free at Disney hotels. We're gonna start charging you

1754
01:21:41.399 --> 01:21:44.319
<v Speaker 4>for that, right, just like all this really weird penny

1755
01:21:44.319 --> 01:21:45.319
<v Speaker 4>pitching kind of stuff.

1756
01:21:45.319 --> 01:21:47.600
<v Speaker 1>You're right, thank you for that reference that we all

1757
01:21:47.640 --> 01:21:48.439
<v Speaker 1>have gone through.

1758
01:21:48.960 --> 01:21:52.319
<v Speaker 4>This is exactly what I think of. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly,

1759
01:21:52.479 --> 01:21:55.199
<v Speaker 4>so it it you know, it's at the pace in

1760
01:21:55.199 --> 01:21:56.880
<v Speaker 4>the world. No, but it rose me the wrong way.

1761
01:21:56.960 --> 01:21:59.279
<v Speaker 4>What a what a random thing to get rid of now,

1762
01:21:59.319 --> 01:22:01.359
<v Speaker 4>and it's it's hard not just see it as well.

1763
01:22:01.399 --> 01:22:02.640
<v Speaker 4>They know that so many people are going to come

1764
01:22:02.680 --> 01:22:05.439
<v Speaker 4>back and start making all these purchases, whether this program

1765
01:22:05.479 --> 01:22:07.600
<v Speaker 4>exists or not. Why not get rid of it?

1766
01:22:07.680 --> 01:22:10.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean it really is just like a really quiet

1767
01:22:10.840 --> 01:22:15.239
<v Speaker 2>way to effectively raise the average sales price for everything

1768
01:22:15.279 --> 01:22:18.000
<v Speaker 2>that they sell without having to do the big splashy

1769
01:22:18.159 --> 01:22:21.680
<v Speaker 2>we are raising the prices across the board or you know,

1770
01:22:22.000 --> 01:22:23.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, you're just getting rid of a deal. You know,

1771
01:22:23.640 --> 01:22:26.000
<v Speaker 2>that's that's what that looks like. But because by doing this,

1772
01:22:26.239 --> 01:22:28.960
<v Speaker 2>people have to spend on average, you know, about three

1773
01:22:29.000 --> 01:22:32.039
<v Speaker 2>to five bucks more, I bet, and all that adds up.

1774
01:22:32.439 --> 01:22:34.680
<v Speaker 2>I think part of this, you know, the motivation here,

1775
01:22:34.720 --> 01:22:37.439
<v Speaker 2>I think is what Mike mostly nailed, is that this

1776
01:22:37.520 --> 01:22:39.159
<v Speaker 2>is a company just trying to make even more money.

1777
01:22:39.199 --> 01:22:40.680
<v Speaker 2>That made a lot of money. They got to keep growing,

1778
01:22:40.680 --> 01:22:43.600
<v Speaker 2>so they're doing that. But also I think, you know, well,

1779
01:22:43.600 --> 01:22:44.760
<v Speaker 2>they don't know what they're going to be able to

1780
01:22:44.760 --> 01:22:48.560
<v Speaker 2>set the hardware at in relation to tariffs, so saving

1781
01:22:48.720 --> 01:22:50.720
<v Speaker 2>or making more money on the software will be very

1782
01:22:50.720 --> 01:22:53.079
<v Speaker 2>beneficial to them, I think in the long run. So

1783
01:22:53.119 --> 01:22:56.319
<v Speaker 2>they're trying to save money where they can, and that

1784
01:22:56.479 --> 01:23:00.039
<v Speaker 2>has led them to make these decisions, all right. The

1785
01:23:00.279 --> 01:23:03.159
<v Speaker 2>next one star Fox artist says he wants GameCube titles

1786
01:23:03.159 --> 01:23:05.520
<v Speaker 2>star Fox Assault to be playable on switch To. This

1787
01:23:05.640 --> 01:23:08.560
<v Speaker 2>is the key in the Mura, the original artist behind

1788
01:23:08.560 --> 01:23:10.800
<v Speaker 2>star Fox, and he has publicly expressed his hope that

1789
01:23:10.840 --> 01:23:13.399
<v Speaker 2>star Fox Assault and Steel Diver sub Wars, which some

1790
01:23:13.479 --> 01:23:16.000
<v Speaker 2>of us really treasure, will be ported to the Nintendo

1791
01:23:16.039 --> 01:23:19.119
<v Speaker 2>switch To. He made this request on the twentieth anniversary

1792
01:23:19.119 --> 01:23:21.800
<v Speaker 2>of star Fox Assault and the ninth anniversary of Steel

1793
01:23:21.840 --> 01:23:25.119
<v Speaker 2>Diver sub Wars. He's worked on a bunch of games.

1794
01:23:25.800 --> 01:23:27.600
<v Speaker 2>To me, like there was those rumors back with the

1795
01:23:27.600 --> 01:23:30.600
<v Speaker 2>switch pro is happening that one of the GameCube could

1796
01:23:30.600 --> 01:23:32.920
<v Speaker 2>get added to Nso this doesn't read to me as

1797
01:23:33.000 --> 01:23:34.840
<v Speaker 2>him teasing anything. I think this reads to me as

1798
01:23:34.880 --> 01:23:37.279
<v Speaker 2>him like genuinely being like, that would be awesome, But

1799
01:23:37.359 --> 01:23:40.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I'm hopeful, but I don't.

1800
01:23:40.399 --> 01:23:43.000
<v Speaker 4>Know's I read it as I wish they would. I

1801
01:23:43.039 --> 01:23:45.359
<v Speaker 4>think Star Fox Assault is really underrated. I think it's

1802
01:23:45.399 --> 01:23:47.520
<v Speaker 4>got a problem that you're just not a lot of

1803
01:23:47.520 --> 01:23:49.920
<v Speaker 4>people seem to care about. When I bring this game up,

1804
01:23:50.199 --> 01:23:53.159
<v Speaker 4>most people think, I mean Star Fox Adventures. Yeah, And

1805
01:23:53.199 --> 01:23:55.399
<v Speaker 4>then when I say no, I mean the other one,

1806
01:23:55.680 --> 01:23:57.359
<v Speaker 4>and then they go, yeah, I said, I like the

1807
01:23:57.439 --> 01:23:59.119
<v Speaker 4>other one for the GameCube, They're like, what other one

1808
01:23:59.119 --> 01:23:59.800
<v Speaker 4>for the Yeah?

1809
01:24:00.079 --> 01:24:01.760
<v Speaker 1>So what I'm thinking right now.

1810
01:24:01.640 --> 01:24:03.560
<v Speaker 3>The ones where it looked like they were going back

1811
01:24:03.560 --> 01:24:05.239
<v Speaker 3>to the ship combat and then it was like it

1812
01:24:05.319 --> 01:24:07.560
<v Speaker 3>still wasn't really that and it wasn't really great.

1813
01:24:08.039 --> 01:24:10.960
<v Speaker 4>It was to see it is, Yeah, it's like a

1814
01:24:11.039 --> 01:24:14.439
<v Speaker 4>lot of on foot third person shooter stuff, and it's

1815
01:24:14.479 --> 01:24:17.159
<v Speaker 4>you know, right before we figured out third person shooter

1816
01:24:17.159 --> 01:24:20.079
<v Speaker 4>stuff better with Resident Evil four, or like maybe it

1817
01:24:20.159 --> 01:24:22.680
<v Speaker 4>was after that, but that didn't become the standard. It's

1818
01:24:22.720 --> 01:24:24.640
<v Speaker 4>a little weird, but I think it's fun in a

1819
01:24:24.680 --> 01:24:26.800
<v Speaker 4>lot of ways, and it has a good star Fucks

1820
01:24:27.239 --> 01:24:29.760
<v Speaker 4>flavor to it crystals in it. So Sean likes that.

1821
01:24:30.119 --> 01:24:32.479
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's why he's popping off, right.

1822
01:24:32.600 --> 01:24:35.680
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, if there's not like GameCube nso, I can't

1823
01:24:35.680 --> 01:24:38.079
<v Speaker 4>imagine this being a game that gets a really Big

1824
01:24:38.119 --> 01:24:39.000
<v Speaker 4>Boy remaster.

1825
01:24:39.399 --> 01:24:41.319
<v Speaker 2>That's what I brought I brought that up because this

1826
01:24:41.399 --> 01:24:43.000
<v Speaker 2>does not feel like a game that, like you said,

1827
01:24:43.039 --> 01:24:46.439
<v Speaker 2>gets a Big Boy remaster or even any remaster. This

1828
01:24:46.479 --> 01:24:48.720
<v Speaker 2>feels like if there is no game Cube NISO, this

1829
01:24:48.760 --> 01:24:50.840
<v Speaker 2>doesn't happen. Like that's kind where I would be with this,

1830
01:24:50.880 --> 01:24:51.359
<v Speaker 2>something like.

1831
01:24:51.399 --> 01:24:54.039
<v Speaker 4>Maybe they'll be like, oh, what's like, do you Starbucks

1832
01:24:54.039 --> 01:24:56.199
<v Speaker 4>Avengers and as Salt as a two for one? But

1833
01:24:56.319 --> 01:24:58.640
<v Speaker 4>that's maybe a little complicated because that was a rare

1834
01:24:58.720 --> 01:25:00.840
<v Speaker 4>game originally they have the whole all the rights to it,

1835
01:25:00.880 --> 01:25:03.600
<v Speaker 4>though I guess I don't know. But again, like I

1836
01:25:03.600 --> 01:25:06.279
<v Speaker 4>think both those games are neat and interesting and weird ways,

1837
01:25:06.439 --> 01:25:09.880
<v Speaker 4>I don't know how much faith they have that a

1838
01:25:09.960 --> 01:25:11.520
<v Speaker 4>larger audience is going to care about them.

1839
01:25:11.560 --> 01:25:13.399
<v Speaker 1>Now this looks cool, I'd play this.

1840
01:25:14.399 --> 01:25:18.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's weird, it was Damco who made it, and

1841
01:25:18.039 --> 01:25:20.479
<v Speaker 4>it was a little bit later on the GameCube, right, so,

1842
01:25:20.880 --> 01:25:23.279
<v Speaker 4>and I think so many people just Adventures was so

1843
01:25:23.399 --> 01:25:25.359
<v Speaker 4>wild because that was the one that was, you know,

1844
01:25:25.800 --> 01:25:28.199
<v Speaker 4>like a Zelda game, and it was originally dinosaur Planing.

1845
01:25:28.199 --> 01:25:30.239
<v Speaker 4>It was going to come on on sixty four. Everyone

1846
01:25:30.239 --> 01:25:33.119
<v Speaker 4>remembers that one. But yeah, then the assault just happened later.

1847
01:25:33.199 --> 01:25:36.359
<v Speaker 4>And it's weird in a bit more of a normal way,

1848
01:25:36.479 --> 01:25:39.720
<v Speaker 4>so it doesn't stick in people's minds as much. But

1849
01:25:39.760 --> 01:25:42.199
<v Speaker 4>it's not bad. I was surprised when I played it.

1850
01:25:42.760 --> 01:25:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I played a little bit like Custom Robo. It

1851
01:25:46.000 --> 01:25:46.359
<v Speaker 2>was weird.

1852
01:25:47.000 --> 01:25:48.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to say it looked like that.

1853
01:25:48.800 --> 01:25:51.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but it's better than people give it credit for.

1854
01:25:51.920 --> 01:25:55.560
<v Speaker 2>Actually usually, Yeah, you know a game I just I

1855
01:25:55.600 --> 01:25:57.840
<v Speaker 2>don't know why this came to my mind. That TROC

1856
01:25:57.880 --> 01:26:00.000
<v Speaker 2>game for Game Boy Advance is just a contra game.

1857
01:26:00.079 --> 01:26:00.520
<v Speaker 2>I never knew.

1858
01:26:01.000 --> 01:26:02.119
<v Speaker 4>Really, that sounds amazing.

1859
01:26:02.159 --> 01:26:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Actually, yeah, we should do like this is the run

1860
01:26:05.000 --> 01:26:06.560
<v Speaker 2>for that game, or oh my god, that could be

1861
01:26:06.720 --> 01:26:07.399
<v Speaker 2>that could be cool.

1862
01:26:07.800 --> 01:26:10.399
<v Speaker 4>Do you want a little kind of breaking weird news

1863
01:26:10.439 --> 01:26:14.920
<v Speaker 4>thing here that everyone away? Hollow Nights Silk song listing

1864
01:26:15.039 --> 01:26:18.960
<v Speaker 4>is gone from the US E Shop Warrior sixty four.

1865
01:26:20.920 --> 01:26:21.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1866
01:26:21.239 --> 01:26:24.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, let's see if the Xbox Live listing for it

1867
01:26:24.439 --> 01:26:28.039
<v Speaker 4>still there. Yes, that is so still on Xbox. It

1868
01:26:28.079 --> 01:26:30.800
<v Speaker 4>just might be them. This could be nothing. Maybe they're

1869
01:26:30.800 --> 01:26:31.840
<v Speaker 4>getting ready for a switch.

1870
01:26:31.880 --> 01:26:34.760
<v Speaker 1>You're right, it's nothing, Mike, it doesn't exist.

1871
01:26:35.000 --> 01:26:36.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I plainted.

1872
01:26:36.119 --> 01:26:40.880
<v Speaker 4>This game, damn it, I'm telling you. But yeah, I

1873
01:26:40.880 --> 01:26:44.880
<v Speaker 4>don't know. Hey, it's something happening with Silk Song. Anyways.

1874
01:26:45.159 --> 01:26:47.399
<v Speaker 2>I think we're like two thousand and seventy five days

1875
01:26:47.399 --> 01:26:49.319
<v Speaker 2>since Mike Manati played Silk Song.

1876
01:26:50.119 --> 01:26:53.079
<v Speaker 4>I think we did time it out. It's a wild Yep, there.

1877
01:26:52.880 --> 01:26:56.319
<v Speaker 2>It is all right, Hey, we'll see. You're right. That

1878
01:26:56.319 --> 01:26:59.399
<v Speaker 2>could probably just be nothing. But maybe they'll re announce

1879
01:26:59.439 --> 01:27:01.560
<v Speaker 2>it and they'll just be switched to. That would be weird, though.

1880
01:27:01.600 --> 01:27:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Why wouldn't that game be able to run on switch?

1881
01:27:04.039 --> 01:27:06.680
<v Speaker 4>I mean, well, but maybe primarily I mean, I do

1882
01:27:06.760 --> 01:27:08.319
<v Speaker 4>think one of the best news we have for this

1883
01:27:08.920 --> 01:27:11.159
<v Speaker 4>is maybe as a switch to launch game, and maybe

1884
01:27:11.159 --> 01:27:12.760
<v Speaker 4>that's a little bit of what the hold up is.

1885
01:27:13.079 --> 01:27:16.319
<v Speaker 2>Yep, I think that's definitely possible. All right, let's keep

1886
01:27:16.359 --> 01:27:19.479
<v Speaker 2>moving here. Two big Final Fantasy remikes are reportedly still

1887
01:27:19.520 --> 01:27:22.880
<v Speaker 2>in active development. Final Fantasy nine Final Fantasy Tactics remix.

1888
01:27:22.880 --> 01:27:25.880
<v Speaker 2>We've been hearing about those forever. Both were in the

1889
01:27:25.960 --> 01:27:27.880
<v Speaker 2>Nvidia League. At least one of them was in the NVDA.

1890
01:27:28.640 --> 01:27:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Both were, and everything else in that in video leak

1891
01:27:31.079 --> 01:27:35.800
<v Speaker 2>was was real, even even Titan Fall three, which was

1892
01:27:35.840 --> 01:27:37.880
<v Speaker 2>actually the code name for Apex Legends for a while.

1893
01:27:37.880 --> 01:27:40.119
<v Speaker 2>So when Titanfull three was in there, that kind of Mart's.

1894
01:27:39.960 --> 01:27:41.960
<v Speaker 4>Four was in there, yeah, before it was announced, and

1895
01:27:41.960 --> 01:27:44.119
<v Speaker 4>I was like, they're not making a Kingdom Hearts four already?

1896
01:27:44.239 --> 01:27:48.439
<v Speaker 2>They sure were, yep, exactly. So, Uh, there's definitely a

1897
01:27:48.479 --> 01:27:50.800
<v Speaker 2>lot of smoke there to assume that these things were real.

1898
01:27:50.880 --> 01:27:52.840
<v Speaker 2>But it's been a long time and Square Enix has

1899
01:27:52.840 --> 01:27:54.880
<v Speaker 2>gone through a lot, so maybe, you know, maybe these

1900
01:27:54.880 --> 01:27:57.199
<v Speaker 2>things fizzled out, never really happened, they canceled them or

1901
01:27:57.239 --> 01:28:00.000
<v Speaker 2>something like that doesn't seem to be the case. Apparently

1902
01:28:00.079 --> 01:28:05.119
<v Speaker 2>they are still in the works according to recent reports. Yeah,

1903
01:28:05.199 --> 01:28:08.680
<v Speaker 2>I think that Final Fantasy nine remake and Final Fantasy

1904
01:28:08.680 --> 01:28:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Tactics remakes will both do very well. They're not going

1905
01:28:10.960 --> 01:28:13.760
<v Speaker 2>to be like Final Fantasy seven, but they could be,

1906
01:28:13.880 --> 01:28:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Like I always say this, soon, maybe they'll be more

1907
01:28:16.800 --> 01:28:18.920
<v Speaker 2>like Persona. Is that the one you pointed to, Mic

1908
01:28:19.039 --> 01:28:20.800
<v Speaker 2>is like the likely thing for like a Final Fantasy nine.

1909
01:28:21.000 --> 01:28:23.720
<v Speaker 4>You'll be more like that persona three remake. Yeah, this

1910
01:28:23.880 --> 01:28:27.199
<v Speaker 4>scope I'm expecting where it'll be largely the same, but

1911
01:28:27.239 --> 01:28:31.800
<v Speaker 4>definitely some rougher edges, smoothed out, some kind of gameplay

1912
01:28:31.840 --> 01:28:36.159
<v Speaker 4>improvements modern you know, new voice cast, right, things like

1913
01:28:36.239 --> 01:28:39.520
<v Speaker 4>that presentation upgraded. That's what this one needs. You don't

1914
01:28:39.520 --> 01:28:42.119
<v Speaker 4>need to, you know, turn it into a three parter

1915
01:28:42.479 --> 01:28:45.720
<v Speaker 4>giant thing like you did with seven. I love Fan

1916
01:28:45.800 --> 01:28:48.960
<v Speaker 4>Fantasy nine. It's one of my favorite games, you know.

1917
01:28:49.039 --> 01:28:52.159
<v Speaker 4>I've been so hopeful for this since that in Nvidio League,

1918
01:28:52.159 --> 01:28:55.439
<v Speaker 4>and I did kind of get myself a little prepared

1919
01:28:55.600 --> 01:28:57.600
<v Speaker 4>for this just not to happen, because I haven't heard

1920
01:28:57.600 --> 01:29:00.920
<v Speaker 4>it announced since then. But yes, so this is very

1921
01:29:01.000 --> 01:29:03.600
<v Speaker 4>good news for me. Same thing with Tactics. I've never

1922
01:29:03.720 --> 01:29:06.840
<v Speaker 4>actually played through all of Tactics, and again, I've kind

1923
01:29:06.880 --> 01:29:10.039
<v Speaker 4>of been waiting hopefully for another remake instead of just

1924
01:29:10.039 --> 01:29:13.079
<v Speaker 4>diving into either the PS one version or the PSP

1925
01:29:13.239 --> 01:29:16.600
<v Speaker 4>war the Lions version. So I would love for a new,

1926
01:29:16.800 --> 01:29:19.159
<v Speaker 4>definitive way to play that game on modern consoles.

1927
01:29:19.199 --> 01:29:22.319
<v Speaker 2>For sure, it's probably been twice as long since the

1928
01:29:22.359 --> 01:29:24.359
<v Speaker 2>release of that PSP game as it was from the

1929
01:29:24.359 --> 01:29:25.359
<v Speaker 2>PS one.

1930
01:29:24.960 --> 01:29:28.239
<v Speaker 4>The Lions was probably like two thousand and seven or something.

1931
01:29:28.319 --> 01:29:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's War of the Lions. All right, give me

1932
01:29:32.319 --> 01:29:36.680
<v Speaker 1>the actual tax Final Fantasy Tactics game. We all want advance,

1933
01:29:36.680 --> 01:29:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Give me advance. Yeah, of course, give me a snowball

1934
01:29:39.880 --> 01:29:41.319
<v Speaker 1>fight Judges.

1935
01:29:41.439 --> 01:29:43.039
<v Speaker 4>Final Fantasy game is Final Fantasy.

1936
01:29:43.399 --> 01:29:45.079
<v Speaker 2>This is the best video game podcast because we all

1937
01:29:45.079 --> 01:29:45.800
<v Speaker 2>say the right thing.

1938
01:29:45.920 --> 01:29:48.800
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yes, do you guys want like an advanced remake? Er?

1939
01:29:48.880 --> 01:29:50.479
<v Speaker 4>You just want that? On Nso is that I just

1940
01:29:50.520 --> 01:29:53.399
<v Speaker 4>want to play advance episode? I have an an pocket.

1941
01:29:53.399 --> 01:29:54.239
<v Speaker 4>Why wouldn't just play it on?

1942
01:29:55.399 --> 01:29:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I finally went to see that.

1943
01:29:57.159 --> 01:29:59.520
<v Speaker 4>Or the lines of two thousand and seven, I was right, wow, okay,

1944
01:29:59.800 --> 01:30:01.119
<v Speaker 4>very press. I'm really smart.

1945
01:30:01.119 --> 01:30:03.439
<v Speaker 2>Who gives a shit about that nerd shit? A skater

1946
01:30:03.560 --> 01:30:06.680
<v Speaker 2>claims he's in a new Tony Hawk remaster about to

1947
01:30:06.680 --> 01:30:11.640
<v Speaker 2>come out. That's what matters to me. We've had rumors

1948
01:30:11.680 --> 01:30:14.800
<v Speaker 2>like this before, or someone like mentioned, you know, in

1949
01:30:14.920 --> 01:30:16.800
<v Speaker 2>the next Tonyawk. I think even Tony Hawk said something

1950
01:30:16.800 --> 01:30:19.039
<v Speaker 2>like along those lines, like something more is gonna happen.

1951
01:30:20.159 --> 01:30:23.039
<v Speaker 2>Professional skateboarder Tyshawn Jones has claimed that he will appear

1952
01:30:23.039 --> 01:30:26.680
<v Speaker 2>in an upcoming unannounced Tony Hawk game remaster. Jones, who

1953
01:30:26.680 --> 01:30:28.960
<v Speaker 2>appeared in Tonyak's pro Skater one plus two, stated this

1954
01:30:29.039 --> 01:30:32.039
<v Speaker 2>on the Breakfast Club podcast, which is I only ever

1955
01:30:32.079 --> 01:30:36.279
<v Speaker 2>see in YouTube shorts. Tony Hawk himself has ented a

1956
01:30:36.000 --> 01:30:38.439
<v Speaker 2>new at a new game. In an Instagram post, Hawk

1957
01:30:38.560 --> 01:30:42.000
<v Speaker 2>tease the series had a future, and in a YouTube

1958
01:30:42.000 --> 01:30:44.079
<v Speaker 2>interview he said he was talking to Activision but working

1959
01:30:44.119 --> 01:30:48.760
<v Speaker 2>on something, or about working on something. I'm like at

1960
01:30:48.760 --> 01:30:50.920
<v Speaker 2>a point with Tony Hawk where I am afraid to

1961
01:30:50.920 --> 01:30:52.960
<v Speaker 2>get my hopes up because I want this so bad.

1962
01:30:53.119 --> 01:30:56.239
<v Speaker 3>I would take this over f F seven remake caliber

1963
01:30:56.840 --> 01:30:58.439
<v Speaker 3>ones of every Final Fantasy game.

1964
01:30:58.640 --> 01:31:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know you would.

1965
01:31:00.119 --> 01:31:03.079
<v Speaker 4>Guy who doesn't like Fantasy but like Tony Hawk.

1966
01:31:03.960 --> 01:31:07.720
<v Speaker 2>I get, but like, No, Tony's pro Skater three and

1967
01:31:07.800 --> 01:31:13.119
<v Speaker 2>four are actually better than any Final Fantasy. Yes, why

1968
01:31:13.199 --> 01:31:15.800
<v Speaker 2>did Jane?

1969
01:31:17.680 --> 01:31:22.399
<v Speaker 3>I really like rules? Sorry, Mike, we don't make the rules.

1970
01:31:22.439 --> 01:31:24.720
<v Speaker 3>We don't make the rules Tony Fantasy.

1971
01:31:25.079 --> 01:31:25.439
<v Speaker 2>It's great.

1972
01:31:25.560 --> 01:31:28.800
<v Speaker 4>Take Tony Hawk's pro Skate Okay, it's great, proving pro

1973
01:31:28.840 --> 01:31:30.840
<v Speaker 4>Skinner four alone over the entire.

1974
01:31:33.079 --> 01:31:33.479
<v Speaker 2>There.

1975
01:31:36.359 --> 01:31:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I can't do this, guys, I don't want to. I

1976
01:31:38.000 --> 01:31:39.359
<v Speaker 1>don't want to pick my favorite Tony.

1977
01:31:39.520 --> 01:31:41.159
<v Speaker 4>You didn't have to be one of the other. You

1978
01:31:41.520 --> 01:31:45.000
<v Speaker 4>just made it like you do. J really offend you that.

1979
01:31:45.199 --> 01:31:48.000
<v Speaker 3>Tony Hawks Downhill Jam is better than any final Fantasy.

1980
01:31:48.279 --> 01:31:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I can't Jesus Dad, I can't do this. I

1981
01:31:53.560 --> 01:31:58.319
<v Speaker 2>thought we were being serious, we were before. Yes, I

1982
01:31:58.359 --> 01:31:59.119
<v Speaker 2>really hope to do this.

1983
01:31:59.199 --> 01:32:02.199
<v Speaker 4>I definitely want to play Tonyhooks pro Skater three again,

1984
01:32:02.640 --> 01:32:05.800
<v Speaker 4>super super Actually just bought to Next pro Skater four

1985
01:32:05.800 --> 01:32:07.960
<v Speaker 4>on the PS two again yesterday because I do want

1986
01:32:08.000 --> 01:32:10.800
<v Speaker 4>to play that again. It has been a while. You know,

1987
01:32:10.960 --> 01:32:13.720
<v Speaker 4>it's always so funny when actors accidentally let these things

1988
01:32:13.720 --> 01:32:16.159
<v Speaker 4>out right because they just like don't know secure the

1989
01:32:16.159 --> 01:32:20.520
<v Speaker 4>game industry is like take that with a professional skateboarder

1990
01:32:20.560 --> 01:32:24.439
<v Speaker 4>and it's like times teds totally yeah, like of course

1991
01:32:24.479 --> 01:32:25.840
<v Speaker 4>this is how we hear about this.

1992
01:32:26.439 --> 01:32:28.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's like, oh, it's cool I got skinned in

1993
01:32:28.279 --> 01:32:29.039
<v Speaker 1>a video game.

1994
01:32:29.359 --> 01:32:34.079
<v Speaker 2>What right? Yeah? I don't know if this is coming out.

1995
01:32:34.079 --> 01:32:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I hope it's soon. It's been quite a bit of

1996
01:32:37.920 --> 01:32:40.600
<v Speaker 2>time from Tonyhawks pro Skater one plus two, but it

1997
01:32:40.640 --> 01:32:43.520
<v Speaker 2>definitely seemed like Activision was not super interested in immediately

1998
01:32:43.600 --> 01:32:45.159
<v Speaker 2>following up, so it's not it doesn't feel like they

1999
01:32:45.239 --> 01:32:47.920
<v Speaker 2>got right to work. Also, the team that make made

2000
01:32:47.920 --> 01:32:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Tonyhawks pro Skater one plus two is gone. They have

2001
01:32:50.800 --> 01:32:54.600
<v Speaker 2>been subsumed into a Blizzard and they made like a

2002
01:32:54.720 --> 01:32:58.000
<v Speaker 2>World of Warcraft bullshit. So they're doing all the Diabo

2003
01:32:58.000 --> 01:33:00.600
<v Speaker 2>stuff Diablo stuff right exactly, So like who even knows

2004
01:33:00.720 --> 01:33:04.680
<v Speaker 2>who's making this again if it's real, But boy, that

2005
01:33:04.760 --> 01:33:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Tony expres Skater one plus two is kind of a

2006
01:33:06.840 --> 01:33:07.479
<v Speaker 2>perfect game.

2007
01:33:07.840 --> 01:33:12.079
<v Speaker 4>And it they did that three, which is a perfect game.

2008
01:33:12.239 --> 01:33:15.880
<v Speaker 4>That would be amazing. Yeh, Final Fantasy is great. Did

2009
01:33:15.920 --> 01:33:17.560
<v Speaker 4>you see the new Magic the Gathering text?

2010
01:33:17.720 --> 01:33:23.479
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, I I I resisted them releasing a doctor

2011
01:33:23.520 --> 01:33:25.960
<v Speaker 1>who pack And I'm like, all right, I've I fought

2012
01:33:26.000 --> 01:33:29.199
<v Speaker 1>off the Magic the Gathering infection that is taking over

2013
01:33:29.239 --> 01:33:32.760
<v Speaker 1>the games industry frenzy. The frenzy. Yes, And then I

2014
01:33:32.800 --> 01:33:35.279
<v Speaker 1>see this fucking Coronal Fantasy ship and I'm like, I

2015
01:33:35.399 --> 01:33:38.319
<v Speaker 1>was just cloud whatever, but then I saw But then

2016
01:33:38.319 --> 01:33:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I saw my boy, Titis.

2017
01:33:41.279 --> 01:33:42.760
<v Speaker 4>You're a titous guy. You're not a tightest guy.

2018
01:33:42.840 --> 01:33:44.560
<v Speaker 1>I used to say, Titus, but then people will just

2019
01:33:44.600 --> 01:33:47.000
<v Speaker 1>get on my case about saying Titus so I say, Titis,

2020
01:33:47.079 --> 01:33:49.680
<v Speaker 1>So I just want to scout. I know you're worked

2021
01:33:49.720 --> 01:33:51.800
<v Speaker 1>up as well. All right, Okay, I know we all

2022
01:33:51.800 --> 01:33:53.920
<v Speaker 1>want to see a car big.

2023
01:33:53.760 --> 01:33:59.119
<v Speaker 3>Natural Grub's a big Titus guy. Now, I'm ah.

01:34:05.119 --> 01:34:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? What say? They made Superman sixty four.

2027
01:34:08.119 --> 01:34:09.640
<v Speaker 4>Superman and RoboCop.

2028
01:34:09.720 --> 01:34:16.159
<v Speaker 2>Actually, okay, they're like our mass Titus. Yeah, I got

2029
01:34:16.159 --> 01:34:19.479
<v Speaker 2>a Titanus. Never mind, I was gonna say Tennis shop,

2030
01:34:19.520 --> 01:34:22.079
<v Speaker 2>but that's good, yeah or something?

2031
01:34:22.119 --> 01:34:24.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Would you guys be disappointed they just skipped the

2032
01:34:24.159 --> 01:34:26.359
<v Speaker 4>Thug because I know I bet Thug would do really well.

2033
01:34:26.800 --> 01:34:27.439
<v Speaker 1>I like Thug.

2034
01:34:28.079 --> 01:34:30.640
<v Speaker 4>Disappointed they I'd be disappointed they skipped three and four.

2035
01:34:30.680 --> 01:34:33.720
<v Speaker 4>I would still enjoy a Thug remake. Give me especially

2036
01:34:33.720 --> 01:34:34.359
<v Speaker 4>three reason.

2037
01:34:34.600 --> 01:34:37.319
<v Speaker 1>Let me punch Eric Sparrow in the fucking face again.

2038
01:34:37.720 --> 01:34:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Darn that? Would that? Would heal this country?

2039
01:34:39.920 --> 01:34:44.159
<v Speaker 4>The Lesser Birdman The fun Fantasy decks are up on Amazon.

2040
01:34:44.159 --> 01:34:45.960
<v Speaker 4>I got buy him now. They've been selling out everywhere.

2041
01:34:46.000 --> 01:34:47.760
<v Speaker 4>No one else buy them. This is just for me.

2042
01:34:48.479 --> 01:34:50.399
<v Speaker 2>Go outside, Nerd, I don't have time. If you're worthless,

2043
01:34:50.439 --> 01:34:55.560
<v Speaker 2>chime ins all right, Company of Heroes like Reveal seventy dollars,

2044
01:34:56.399 --> 01:35:00.439
<v Speaker 2>like Jack style Jack game, make Jack Bop in a

2045
01:35:01.439 --> 01:35:06.199
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, uh company heroes. Relic is making an

2046
01:35:06.199 --> 01:35:08.279
<v Speaker 2>advanced war style game. It looks pretty cool. It's called

2047
01:35:08.279 --> 01:35:10.479
<v Speaker 2>Earth's As. It comes out later this year. I like

2048
01:35:10.520 --> 01:35:11.159
<v Speaker 2>Advanced Wars.

2049
01:35:11.199 --> 01:35:13.359
<v Speaker 3>I want to play it for two hours, like I

2050
01:35:13.399 --> 01:35:16.399
<v Speaker 3>did these Switch remaster and then think, oh, I could

2051
01:35:16.399 --> 01:35:18.399
<v Speaker 3>just be playing Shoot Advance Warts Advance Wars.

2052
01:35:18.479 --> 01:35:21.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think that's a big problem with this genre, right,

2053
01:35:21.439 --> 01:35:23.479
<v Speaker 2>is that people are so faithful that a lot of

2054
01:35:23.479 --> 01:35:26.520
<v Speaker 2>times it's like the original is just better to go play.

2055
01:35:27.479 --> 01:35:28.920
<v Speaker 2>And that's been the way for a long time. I

2056
01:35:28.920 --> 01:35:32.119
<v Speaker 2>remember an early mobile phone game was just Advance Wars,

2057
01:35:32.319 --> 01:35:34.359
<v Speaker 2>but with kind of shitty math where it's like, oh,

2058
01:35:34.359 --> 01:35:36.800
<v Speaker 2>this isn't as satisfying because the attacks don't feel as good.

2059
01:35:36.960 --> 01:35:38.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, you got to have that good math in there.

2060
01:35:39.279 --> 01:35:43.520
<v Speaker 2>I think Relic can probably nail this genre, but can

2061
01:35:43.560 --> 01:35:45.439
<v Speaker 2>they do anything that feels new and kind of push

2062
01:35:45.479 --> 01:35:49.279
<v Speaker 2>it forward. We'll see, I hope so. Uh Sony my

2063
01:35:49.319 --> 01:35:53.880
<v Speaker 2>final Fantasy. Sony's PS five live service title Fair Games

2064
01:35:53.920 --> 01:35:57.000
<v Speaker 2>has reportedly slipped. According to Gian Bomb journalist Jeff Grubbs,

2065
01:35:57.039 --> 01:35:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Sony and Haven Studios upcoming PS five live service game,

2066
01:35:59.800 --> 01:36:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Fair Games hasn't been internally delayed to twenty twenty six.

2067
01:36:02.840 --> 01:36:04.600
<v Speaker 2>It's a game that they were maybe thinking about releasing

2068
01:36:04.640 --> 01:36:09.600
<v Speaker 2>this year. It's it's been pushed. So, you know, Fair

2069
01:36:09.680 --> 01:36:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Games from Jade Raymond's studio was in Haven. Is that

2070
01:36:13.920 --> 01:36:15.039
<v Speaker 2>the name of their studio.

2071
01:36:16.239 --> 01:36:19.840
<v Speaker 4>Formerly of of Oculus Games, right?

2072
01:36:20.399 --> 01:36:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I think Stadia No, no stadium.

2073
01:36:22.760 --> 01:36:24.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the Stadia like studio or whatever.

2074
01:36:25.039 --> 01:36:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Yep, that you know, all those great Stadia first party

2075
01:36:27.560 --> 01:36:31.000
<v Speaker 2>games and then before that very long time at Ubisoft.

2076
01:36:31.720 --> 01:36:34.439
<v Speaker 2>Although I don't think she's like actually shipped a game

2077
01:36:34.560 --> 01:36:37.720
<v Speaker 2>since Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. I think that's right. I think

2078
01:36:37.720 --> 01:36:38.800
<v Speaker 2>that's what people aways bring up.

2079
01:36:39.079 --> 01:36:42.640
<v Speaker 4>What did she She was managing director on Unit Best

2080
01:36:42.680 --> 01:36:46.560
<v Speaker 4>Creed Unity.

2081
01:36:44.760 --> 01:36:47.279
<v Speaker 3>Splinter Cell, Conviction to the game and former office. Was

2082
01:36:47.319 --> 01:36:48.960
<v Speaker 3>she involved with that in some way? Because I remember

2083
01:36:49.079 --> 01:36:50.960
<v Speaker 3>I said it on a meeting with her for that game.

2084
01:36:51.239 --> 01:36:52.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I'll see, Yeah, it's not listed in her

2085
01:36:53.359 --> 01:36:54.920
<v Speaker 4>look at Pea, but she would have been in Ubi

2086
01:36:55.039 --> 01:36:58.720
<v Speaker 4>Soft here apparently she He's got a credit for Star

2087
01:36:58.720 --> 01:37:04.039
<v Speaker 4>Wars Battle from two. She's s VP group general manager. Yeah,

2088
01:37:04.079 --> 01:37:05.840
<v Speaker 4>it's just it's been a long time since, like, yeah,

2089
01:37:05.840 --> 01:37:09.560
<v Speaker 4>she was like this person heavily associated with us.

2090
01:37:09.920 --> 01:37:10.079
<v Speaker 1>You know.

2091
01:37:10.119 --> 01:37:12.800
<v Speaker 4>It's kind of like it's like that position that I'm

2092
01:37:12.800 --> 01:37:18.199
<v Speaker 4>blaking on the charted. Woman's name, right, Jimmy Henning. Right.

2093
01:37:18.239 --> 01:37:20.880
<v Speaker 4>They very notable in the two thousands, and then it's

2094
01:37:20.920 --> 01:37:23.000
<v Speaker 4>like something happens. It's just hard for these people to

2095
01:37:23.000 --> 01:37:26.600
<v Speaker 4>ship games through a series of seemingly unfortunate events.

2096
01:37:27.399 --> 01:37:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

2097
01:37:27.920 --> 01:37:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Either way, player games not coming anytime soon really one

2098
01:37:31.920 --> 01:37:33.359
<v Speaker 2>of one of the reasons we didn't see it in

2099
01:37:33.359 --> 01:37:36.439
<v Speaker 2>that state of play obviously, because it's just not ready

2100
01:37:36.439 --> 01:37:37.920
<v Speaker 2>if it's not coming out till next year.

2101
01:37:38.479 --> 01:37:40.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm gonna say this, and I think we've all

2102
01:37:40.279 --> 01:37:43.479
<v Speaker 1>said this. I think putting a dollar sign in your

2103
01:37:43.720 --> 01:37:45.600
<v Speaker 1>company's logo's not cool.

2104
01:37:45.680 --> 01:37:49.479
<v Speaker 4>It's actually not good idea unless you're where mega my

2105
01:37:49.600 --> 01:37:51.760
<v Speaker 4>yeah game that is great, Okay, sure, sure.

2106
01:37:51.760 --> 01:37:55.760
<v Speaker 3>And an exclamation point killed it.

2107
01:37:56.439 --> 01:37:58.359
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna say, Dan, no one else was brave enough

2108
01:37:58.359 --> 01:37:59.319
<v Speaker 4>on your Firescape thing.

2109
01:37:59.560 --> 01:38:05.920
<v Speaker 3>I should have Tetris warriorware. Yes, Oh, I mean personally,

2110
01:38:05.960 --> 01:38:09.319
<v Speaker 3>I would say, yeah, here's the problem with your your methodology.

2111
01:38:09.640 --> 01:38:12.079
<v Speaker 3>You guys just like Tetris counts as a whole franchise.

2112
01:38:12.119 --> 01:38:14.840
<v Speaker 3>Everything else is one game. Tetris, for some reason, gets

2113
01:38:14.880 --> 01:38:19.439
<v Speaker 3>this free. Tetris is a concept. Idea of Tetris is

2114
01:38:19.439 --> 01:38:19.880
<v Speaker 3>a feeling.

2115
01:38:19.920 --> 01:38:20.199
<v Speaker 1>Baby.

2116
01:38:20.239 --> 01:38:23.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm still reeling over Mary saying that Diablo two

2117
01:38:23.439 --> 01:38:25.159
<v Speaker 3>is more influential than Mario sixty four.

2118
01:38:26.479 --> 01:38:27.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, that's crazy.

2119
01:38:27.359 --> 01:38:29.800
<v Speaker 4>I called her out on that last night. Okay, to

2120
01:38:29.800 --> 01:38:32.520
<v Speaker 4>be clear, I was. I was about to be like, well,

2121
01:38:32.720 --> 01:38:36.399
<v Speaker 4>Diablo two is pretty influential, Dad, what did it go against?

2122
01:38:37.319 --> 01:38:42.079
<v Speaker 4>And I was like, oh, yeah, it's more flutial than

2123
01:38:42.119 --> 01:38:45.319
<v Speaker 4>a literal miracle, like something that should not exist.

2124
01:38:45.560 --> 01:38:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right, fair games, whatever, we'll see, they'll talk

2125
01:38:49.600 --> 01:38:51.279
<v Speaker 2>about it. It's well, maybe they won't me it's a

2126
01:38:51.279 --> 01:38:53.840
<v Speaker 2>game that never comes out, but uh, it probably does it.

2127
01:38:53.840 --> 01:38:56.960
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't seem like they're canceling this particular live service game,

2128
01:38:57.239 --> 01:38:59.119
<v Speaker 2>even as they get scared off of a lot of

2129
01:38:59.159 --> 01:39:03.159
<v Speaker 2>other live service games. PlayStation says it's planning to release

2130
01:39:03.239 --> 01:39:07.680
<v Speaker 2>more family games like Astrobot. Astrobot popped off obviously because

2131
01:39:07.720 --> 01:39:09.279
<v Speaker 2>the it won the Game of the Year award. Just

2132
01:39:09.439 --> 01:39:11.760
<v Speaker 2>mean they've had a lot of support for it. It's

2133
01:39:11.760 --> 01:39:15.239
<v Speaker 2>doing well sales wise relative to other games of its ILK.

2134
01:39:16.000 --> 01:39:18.720
<v Speaker 2>I think Sony sees a chance here to slowly build

2135
01:39:18.760 --> 01:39:20.880
<v Speaker 2>up an audience that comes to PlayStation for family games,

2136
01:39:21.359 --> 01:39:24.920
<v Speaker 2>something that Nintendo is just dominated for decades at this point.

2137
01:39:25.000 --> 01:39:27.560
<v Speaker 2>So you think they can pull it off or is

2138
01:39:27.600 --> 01:39:29.840
<v Speaker 2>this something that like, without like a japan studio, they

2139
01:39:29.920 --> 01:39:32.279
<v Speaker 2>might have a more difficult time doing something like this.

2140
01:39:33.760 --> 01:39:35.359
<v Speaker 4>Sure could use the help from yeah.

2141
01:39:35.239 --> 01:39:40.359
<v Speaker 1>Right, if they trust the Astrobot team. Sure if they

2142
01:39:40.359 --> 01:39:43.520
<v Speaker 1>try and make some live service joints, I don't know.

2143
01:39:45.079 --> 01:39:49.479
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, they definitely need to though, right, Like it always,

2144
01:39:50.239 --> 01:39:52.000
<v Speaker 4>I think there was always such a mistake the way

2145
01:39:52.000 --> 01:39:55.800
<v Speaker 4>that Xbox and Sony largely conceded the family games market

2146
01:39:55.840 --> 01:39:58.960
<v Speaker 4>to Nintendo and to these kind of you know, big

2147
01:39:59.000 --> 01:40:01.720
<v Speaker 4>PC games like row Box, like Minecraft. You know that

2148
01:40:01.760 --> 01:40:04.239
<v Speaker 4>stuff is on their console. Sure, but it's so different

2149
01:40:04.279 --> 01:40:06.640
<v Speaker 4>from you know, p S one, p S two, where

2150
01:40:06.680 --> 01:40:09.720
<v Speaker 4>a lot of these family friendly franchises were very heavily

2151
01:40:09.760 --> 01:40:14.039
<v Speaker 4>supported and promoted by PlayStation, like your your Crash Bandicoots

2152
01:40:14.079 --> 01:40:17.640
<v Speaker 4>and your Spiros and Wretch and Clings, and it's like, uh,

2153
01:40:18.119 --> 01:40:24.920
<v Speaker 4>it's like Cooper is that his name? It's like Cooper's

2154
01:40:25.039 --> 01:40:29.319
<v Speaker 4>not right? You know, Sony Sony has done some things.

2155
01:40:29.359 --> 01:40:31.079
<v Speaker 4>You know, they still have Ratchet Plank going. We had

2156
01:40:31.079 --> 01:40:34.600
<v Speaker 4>that sack Boy game, but Astrobot really seems like it

2157
01:40:34.960 --> 01:40:36.199
<v Speaker 4>hit and whilked them.

2158
01:40:36.199 --> 01:40:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Up a bit.

2159
01:40:37.159 --> 01:40:40.800
<v Speaker 4>And I think, you know, even beyond that, just all

2160
01:40:40.880 --> 01:40:44.279
<v Speaker 4>those franchises being in there, like we we saw eight

2161
01:40:44.479 --> 01:40:47.159
<v Speaker 4>Escape is still really fun just as a concept even

2162
01:40:47.199 --> 01:40:50.079
<v Speaker 4>in there. I hope that they look at kind of

2163
01:40:50.119 --> 01:40:52.960
<v Speaker 4>what Capcom's doing and what Sega's doing bringing some old

2164
01:40:52.960 --> 01:40:56.119
<v Speaker 4>franchises back, and they do more of that, and yeah,

2165
01:40:56.359 --> 01:40:59.079
<v Speaker 4>like there's no reason why Ape Escape couldn't still work

2166
01:40:59.119 --> 01:41:01.640
<v Speaker 4>really well now. Or you know, like how Astrobot's a

2167
01:41:01.720 --> 01:41:04.039
<v Speaker 4>newer thing, Let's let's maybe get some more new things

2168
01:41:04.079 --> 01:41:05.119
<v Speaker 4>going that could be nice too.

2169
01:41:05.199 --> 01:41:08.239
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna ask, do y'all think they would kind

2170
01:41:08.239 --> 01:41:10.560
<v Speaker 1>of go into some of these family games through the

2171
01:41:10.680 --> 01:41:13.079
<v Speaker 1>lens of an Astrobot, of like, hey, you saw ape

2172
01:41:13.119 --> 01:41:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Escape there, this is ape Escape Bot with astro.

2173
01:41:18.000 --> 01:41:20.520
<v Speaker 4>I don't know where are man Escape is also going

2174
01:41:20.600 --> 01:41:22.560
<v Speaker 4>to be in Battle your Solid Delta too, so it's

2175
01:41:22.600 --> 01:41:25.079
<v Speaker 4>just it escapes everywhere, but in a new game. Now,

2176
01:41:26.560 --> 01:41:28.840
<v Speaker 4>I think I'd rather just make it eight Escape. I

2177
01:41:28.840 --> 01:41:31.399
<v Speaker 4>don't think I need the bot trappings all the time.

2178
01:41:31.439 --> 01:41:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Then okay, okay, yeah, I think that's that'd be ideal.

2179
01:41:35.399 --> 01:41:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Just kind of use it as a jumping platform to

2180
01:41:37.680 --> 01:41:39.760
<v Speaker 2>go back to the shoot thing. I think i'd be

2181
01:41:39.800 --> 01:41:46.840
<v Speaker 2>great anyway. PlayStation is going to do more family games. Sure,

2182
01:41:47.359 --> 01:41:50.000
<v Speaker 2>that is one of their responses to me. There's a

2183
01:41:50.000 --> 01:41:53.680
<v Speaker 2>slight response to hey, the live service stuff isn't working

2184
01:41:53.800 --> 01:41:56.920
<v Speaker 2>very well, we should try something different, you be soft

2185
01:41:56.960 --> 01:41:59.359
<v Speaker 2>says that's for pussies. They're like, we're just gonna keep

2186
01:41:59.399 --> 01:42:03.520
<v Speaker 2>making lives service games and open world games year after year.

2187
01:42:03.560 --> 01:42:06.079
<v Speaker 2>And that's the direct quote from Uskimo. The whole thing

2188
01:42:06.119 --> 01:42:09.600
<v Speaker 2>I said is from use there. Uh the company's future

2189
01:42:09.600 --> 01:42:12.720
<v Speaker 2>strategy is focusing on open world action adventure games and

2190
01:42:12.840 --> 01:42:18.920
<v Speaker 2>live service games. Uh huh wow, what that's just incredible.

2191
01:42:19.279 --> 01:42:22.640
<v Speaker 2>That's like as the Titanic's going down, saying that their

2192
01:42:22.680 --> 01:42:25.479
<v Speaker 2>strategy is to just find more icebergs.

2193
01:42:26.920 --> 01:42:27.960
<v Speaker 1>You just keep.

2194
01:42:29.560 --> 01:42:33.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like we're just gonna keep doing the same thing.

2195
01:42:33.600 --> 01:42:35.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it really just says like, oh, they really

2196
01:42:35.800 --> 01:42:39.279
<v Speaker 2>don't have anything else, and Assassin's Creed Shadows doesn't work.

2197
01:42:39.840 --> 01:42:42.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh boy, They're in deep.

2198
01:42:41.840 --> 01:42:44.560
<v Speaker 4>Deep dude courts wallets.

2199
01:42:45.239 --> 01:42:50.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh the uniqueness of my digit has never been more unique.

2200
01:42:50.399 --> 01:42:55.920
<v Speaker 4>Dan, Oh god, it's just it's just absolutely bonkers. You know,

2201
01:42:56.000 --> 01:42:58.680
<v Speaker 4>like the one Life Service game they ever really had

2202
01:42:58.800 --> 01:43:01.760
<v Speaker 4>was Rainbow six Seeds, which is ten years old. Now

2203
01:43:02.159 --> 01:43:05.039
<v Speaker 4>they're kind of trying to you know, soft reboot.

2204
01:43:06.239 --> 01:43:06.279
<v Speaker 5>X.

2205
01:43:06.319 --> 01:43:08.439
<v Speaker 4>We'll see how you know. I bet that'll help a

2206
01:43:08.520 --> 01:43:09.000
<v Speaker 4>little bit.

2207
01:43:10.159 --> 01:43:12.159
<v Speaker 2>It's a backlash first before anything else.

2208
01:43:12.279 --> 01:43:15.920
<v Speaker 4>It hurts it actively. It could that could very easily happen.

2209
01:43:16.159 --> 01:43:19.800
<v Speaker 4>But in meantime, what what what Life Service game? Right?

2210
01:43:19.800 --> 01:43:23.960
<v Speaker 4>What could they po have? Oh my god, they tried

2211
01:43:24.039 --> 01:43:30.319
<v Speaker 4>hyper Escape. Scalling Bones was like, was so pathetic. Nobody

2212
01:43:30.359 --> 01:43:33.520
<v Speaker 4>even wanted to talk about that. Everybody talked about Suicide

2213
01:43:33.560 --> 01:43:37.039
<v Speaker 4>Squad and Concord failing because it was kind of interesting.

2214
01:43:37.279 --> 01:43:41.279
<v Speaker 4>Scalling Bones people kind of forgot that. Even Lucy's told

2215
01:43:41.279 --> 01:43:46.119
<v Speaker 4>you to play it right, God X defiant, I mean,

2216
01:43:46.159 --> 01:43:50.159
<v Speaker 4>what are we talking about here? I don't know. It

2217
01:43:50.199 --> 01:43:52.279
<v Speaker 4>almost sings pathetic, and it's just kind of like, well,

2218
01:43:52.680 --> 01:43:55.159
<v Speaker 4>maybe if we say this is the plan, people still

2219
01:43:55.159 --> 01:43:57.560
<v Speaker 4>believe that and like that buzzword enough long enough for

2220
01:43:57.640 --> 01:43:59.399
<v Speaker 4>us to get bought by ten cent or something.

2221
01:43:59.479 --> 01:44:01.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, maybe we'll get an open world just

2222
01:44:01.920 --> 01:44:02.439
<v Speaker 1>dance game.

2223
01:44:03.119 --> 01:44:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well that could be something. Yeah. I think this

2224
01:44:07.039 --> 01:44:09.119
<v Speaker 2>just really says that even if they do have other ideas,

2225
01:44:09.159 --> 01:44:11.399
<v Speaker 2>they think those ideas are so far away that they

2226
01:44:11.439 --> 01:44:13.279
<v Speaker 2>really just can't even bring them up right now. They

2227
01:44:13.319 --> 01:44:15.000
<v Speaker 2>have to commit to the games they have coming out

2228
01:44:15.039 --> 01:44:17.359
<v Speaker 2>in the next couple of years, which are probably all

2229
01:44:17.399 --> 01:44:20.680
<v Speaker 2>live service and open world action games. So what choice

2230
01:44:20.720 --> 01:44:22.880
<v Speaker 2>do they have other than to double down on believing

2231
01:44:22.920 --> 01:44:26.560
<v Speaker 2>in that It's It's wild though, because it clearly is

2232
01:44:26.600 --> 01:44:28.079
<v Speaker 2>just going to kind of keep going in the same

2233
01:44:28.079 --> 01:44:30.520
<v Speaker 2>direction where even if you do have a big hit,

2234
01:44:30.600 --> 01:44:34.000
<v Speaker 2>let's say Assassin's Creed Shadows is the biggest Assassin's Creed

2235
01:44:34.039 --> 01:44:38.079
<v Speaker 2>game ever, that really feels like it's only buying borrowed

2236
01:44:38.119 --> 01:44:40.640
<v Speaker 2>time at a certain point, and when the next time

2237
01:44:40.640 --> 01:44:43.279
<v Speaker 2>there's a slight slip on Assassin's Creed, or if the

2238
01:44:43.319 --> 01:44:45.399
<v Speaker 2>far cry doesn't the next far cry doesn't doesn't work,

2239
01:44:45.479 --> 01:44:47.239
<v Speaker 2>they're just going to be right back here and people

2240
01:44:47.239 --> 01:44:49.960
<v Speaker 2>are going to be really short with Ubisoft games going forward,

2241
01:44:50.039 --> 01:44:52.399
<v Speaker 2>so they have to try something else. They just have to,

2242
01:44:53.880 --> 01:44:57.319
<v Speaker 2>all right, I had no choice, says shoe Hey Yoshida

2243
01:44:57.920 --> 01:45:00.840
<v Speaker 2>after talking about his role of moving over to indie

2244
01:45:00.880 --> 01:45:03.079
<v Speaker 2>games because he said, otherwise I would have been pushed

2245
01:45:03.079 --> 01:45:06.359
<v Speaker 2>out of the company. This comes from games Beat, Mike.

2246
01:45:06.760 --> 01:45:08.239
<v Speaker 2>What were the full details on the story. This is

2247
01:45:08.239 --> 01:45:10.239
<v Speaker 2>an interview that Dean did with shoe Hey Yoshida, right,

2248
01:45:10.279 --> 01:45:12.479
<v Speaker 2>and I kind of got into like minit kind of

2249
01:45:12.479 --> 01:45:16.039
<v Speaker 2>what we all assumed that there was some maybe not shenanigans,

2250
01:45:16.079 --> 01:45:19.800
<v Speaker 2>but definitely corporate politicking that led to shoe Hey Yo

2251
01:45:19.960 --> 01:45:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Yo should have stepping down from being president of Worldwide

2252
01:45:22.560 --> 01:45:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Studios taking over the indie role.

2253
01:45:24.439 --> 01:45:27.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, this was actually sorry Dean published over the weekend.

2254
01:45:27.079 --> 01:45:29.920
<v Speaker 4>He talked to Shoehy believe it the Dice Awards. Uh. Yeah,

2255
01:45:29.920 --> 01:45:32.640
<v Speaker 4>I haven't actually talked to Dean since because we started work today.

2256
01:45:32.680 --> 01:45:36.840
<v Speaker 4>Basically I've been spending time here with you all. But yeah,

2257
01:45:37.359 --> 01:45:39.079
<v Speaker 4>the context I kind of got from was like, is

2258
01:45:39.159 --> 01:45:41.920
<v Speaker 4>kind of implied, Hey, yeah, you kind of work over

2259
01:45:41.960 --> 01:45:45.199
<v Speaker 4>on the indie side now or see use At least

2260
01:45:45.239 --> 01:45:47.920
<v Speaker 4>that was the feeling Gee was getting from it, right,

2261
01:45:48.439 --> 01:45:51.479
<v Speaker 4>So yes, it didn't necessarily seem like a jump he

2262
01:45:51.520 --> 01:45:53.680
<v Speaker 4>wanted to make but was sort of forced to making.

2263
01:45:54.760 --> 01:45:56.279
<v Speaker 4>Have you seen the breaking news in the chat here?

2264
01:45:56.399 --> 01:46:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Yeah, I'm trying to make sense of it. Yeah, okay,

2265
01:46:00.640 --> 01:46:03.760
<v Speaker 2>just we'll wrap up the Shoe Hay thing that that

2266
01:46:04.000 --> 01:46:06.439
<v Speaker 2>was weird. It's weird that that's the way it worked.

2267
01:46:06.640 --> 01:46:09.079
<v Speaker 2>Like he said, basically said, Jim Ryan was going to

2268
01:46:09.439 --> 01:46:11.159
<v Speaker 2>force me out of the company. So people who don't

2269
01:46:11.159 --> 01:46:12.640
<v Speaker 2>like Jim Ryan have plenty more to go on. But

2270
01:46:12.720 --> 01:46:14.439
<v Speaker 2>Jim Ryan's not there anymore, So what are you going

2271
01:46:14.479 --> 01:46:19.520
<v Speaker 2>to do with that? But Shoe was always a very

2272
01:46:19.520 --> 01:46:22.640
<v Speaker 2>cool guy, and I'm glad he stuck around. It seems

2273
01:46:22.640 --> 01:46:26.520
<v Speaker 2>like he really did improve PlayStation's relationships between themselves and indies,

2274
01:46:26.520 --> 01:46:28.600
<v Speaker 2>which was at a bit of a low point before

2275
01:46:28.640 --> 01:46:30.119
<v Speaker 2>he took over that role. There was a lot of

2276
01:46:30.159 --> 01:46:32.880
<v Speaker 2>complaints from indy's about how that whole thing didn't work

2277
01:46:33.279 --> 01:46:38.119
<v Speaker 2>all right. Uh, this is Warrio sixty four sharing a

2278
01:46:38.159 --> 01:46:41.880
<v Speaker 2>reset era thread. The reset era thread says Marvel Rivals

2279
01:46:42.000 --> 01:46:45.680
<v Speaker 2>director shares that he and his team were all just

2280
01:46:45.840 --> 01:46:49.000
<v Speaker 2>laid off. What all right, I'm gonna read this whole

2281
01:46:49.000 --> 01:46:52.760
<v Speaker 2>thing from Thaddeus Sasser on what looks like LinkedIn uh,

2282
01:46:53.119 --> 01:46:55.960
<v Speaker 2>and his his like little title is I helped create

2283
01:46:56.000 --> 01:46:59.279
<v Speaker 2>I helped create billion dollar franchises, which they did. Uh.

2284
01:46:59.319 --> 01:47:01.920
<v Speaker 2>He says, this is such a weird industry. My stellar,

2285
01:47:02.039 --> 01:47:05.680
<v Speaker 2>talented team just helped deliver an incredibly successful new franchise

2286
01:47:05.760 --> 01:47:08.760
<v Speaker 2>in Marvel Rivals for net Ease Games, and we're just

2287
01:47:08.840 --> 01:47:11.479
<v Speaker 2>laid off. Oh well, times are tough all over. Let's

2288
01:47:11.520 --> 01:47:14.159
<v Speaker 2>find these incredible, incredible people new jobs because we all

2289
01:47:14.159 --> 01:47:17.319
<v Speaker 2>need to eat, right, so he started. Then he goes

2290
01:47:17.359 --> 01:47:19.239
<v Speaker 2>on to point out some people that like worked with

2291
01:47:19.279 --> 01:47:21.319
<v Speaker 2>them today. I'm going to start with the inspiring Gary

2292
01:47:21.399 --> 01:47:24.600
<v Speaker 2>McGee for example. Is this like, is this the main

2293
01:47:24.720 --> 01:47:26.880
<v Speaker 2>development team or it's just like one of the support

2294
01:47:26.960 --> 01:47:30.000
<v Speaker 2>teams that was working on it. I honestly don't know.

2295
01:47:30.039 --> 01:47:33.960
<v Speaker 2>This is breaking right now. So this of Jack Burrows,

2296
01:47:34.319 --> 01:47:38.600
<v Speaker 2>also from LinkedIn, was a level designer on Marvel Rivals,

2297
01:47:38.720 --> 01:47:41.640
<v Speaker 2>and like his company he worked for, is net Ease.

2298
01:47:42.800 --> 01:47:43.520
<v Speaker 1>I saw the.

2299
01:47:43.600 --> 01:47:46.279
<v Speaker 4>Jack I saw Jack Burrows either earlier today or yesterday.

2300
01:47:46.319 --> 01:47:47.439
<v Speaker 4>That one I saw before.

2301
01:47:47.880 --> 01:47:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I remember Scott laid off from my job working

2302
01:47:49.760 --> 01:47:51.880
<v Speaker 2>on Marvel Rivals with net Ease. Was an enormous pleasure

2303
01:47:51.920 --> 01:47:53.560
<v Speaker 2>to work with my American co workers who joined me

2304
01:47:53.600 --> 01:47:54.359
<v Speaker 2>in this sad.

2305
01:47:54.159 --> 01:47:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Calling American coworkers.

2306
01:47:56.199 --> 01:47:58.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I just couldn't dodge the big boot. I guess,

2307
01:47:58.039 --> 01:48:01.479
<v Speaker 2>no matter how big the success of the gig. I mean,

2308
01:48:02.199 --> 01:48:05.399
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's not the whole main team. It's probably what

2309
01:48:05.560 --> 01:48:08.359
<v Speaker 2>I have to assume, because that game is making like

2310
01:48:08.399 --> 01:48:09.319
<v Speaker 2>a billion dollars.

2311
01:48:09.479 --> 01:48:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what the hell?

2312
01:48:12.920 --> 01:48:15.479
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's gotta be like there's probably a lot of

2313
01:48:15.520 --> 01:48:19.079
<v Speaker 4>teams involved with that, and maybe it's one like a

2314
01:48:19.159 --> 01:48:21.319
<v Speaker 4>shitty case where they're like, oh, well, you know, you

2315
01:48:21.319 --> 01:48:23.000
<v Speaker 4>guys helped get this game off the ground. Now we

2316
01:48:23.000 --> 01:48:26.399
<v Speaker 4>don't need you as much anymore.

2317
01:48:25.159 --> 01:48:30.159
<v Speaker 2>That Fatty as Sasser is he the shoot director of

2318
01:48:30.159 --> 01:48:30.840
<v Speaker 2>that game.

2319
01:48:30.840 --> 01:48:33.600
<v Speaker 4>Right, because that's the missing thing from the set here.

2320
01:48:33.680 --> 01:48:37.159
<v Speaker 4>Marvel Rivals director and team laid off according to posts we.

2321
01:48:37.119 --> 01:48:38.960
<v Speaker 3>Met, was that supposed to be the director that we

2322
01:48:39.039 --> 01:48:40.880
<v Speaker 3>met outside the we hung out with it?

2323
01:48:41.560 --> 01:48:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? That that isn't the same guy that we met.

2324
01:48:44.159 --> 01:48:48.079
<v Speaker 4>No, so this must be a separate team, I guess.

2325
01:48:48.199 --> 01:48:50.439
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I like, just I just googled like Thatt

2326
01:48:50.600 --> 01:48:53.720
<v Speaker 2>as Sasser director and he's done interviews as the director

2327
01:48:53.800 --> 01:48:57.199
<v Speaker 2>of Marvel Rivals working at net ease recently.

2328
01:48:57.680 --> 01:49:02.000
<v Speaker 1>According to Jesse Norris, from what I can see, they

2329
01:49:02.000 --> 01:49:04.479
<v Speaker 1>were the level design team, so maybe they are just

2330
01:49:05.239 --> 01:49:06.319
<v Speaker 1>a specific team.

2331
01:49:07.159 --> 01:49:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's a game designer. Yeah, but Okay, it wasn't

2332
01:49:11.920 --> 01:49:14.960
<v Speaker 2>like an external team though, it wasn't net eas team.

2333
01:49:15.960 --> 01:49:20.640
<v Speaker 2>All right, very very very strange, kind of inexplicable. I think, yeah,

2334
01:49:20.680 --> 01:49:22.359
<v Speaker 2>this industry being very weird. It's a very good way

2335
01:49:22.359 --> 01:49:22.840
<v Speaker 2>of putting it.

2336
01:49:24.079 --> 01:49:26.680
<v Speaker 4>Tell what if even Marvel Rivals isn't gonna make it?

2337
01:49:26.760 --> 01:49:29.319
<v Speaker 4>And the whole live service thing, we're done?

2338
01:49:29.560 --> 01:49:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Yep.

2339
01:49:29.800 --> 01:49:31.920
<v Speaker 2>That feels like, oh, we're cooked, aren't we.

2340
01:49:32.119 --> 01:49:35.760
<v Speaker 1>I skeated it about this, but I was scrolling through

2341
01:49:35.800 --> 01:49:38.159
<v Speaker 1>TikTok and then I got one of those game ads

2342
01:49:38.279 --> 01:49:40.039
<v Speaker 1>that I don't know if is real or not, and

2343
01:49:40.079 --> 01:49:43.399
<v Speaker 1>I had a very excited person that might have been

2344
01:49:43.399 --> 01:49:45.840
<v Speaker 1>pretending to be a streamer, they could have been, and

2345
01:49:45.920 --> 01:49:46.680
<v Speaker 1>he was just saying.

2346
01:49:46.520 --> 01:49:48.439
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, Oh my god, the red gooner's in

2347
01:49:48.520 --> 01:49:51.520
<v Speaker 4>the base. We gotta get rid of the gooner, all right.

2348
01:49:51.560 --> 01:49:54.720
<v Speaker 1>We just gave him a backshot. I'm like, oh my god,

2349
01:49:54.800 --> 01:49:55.600
<v Speaker 1>what is happening.

2350
01:49:55.920 --> 01:49:57.399
<v Speaker 2>They know what they're doing there, They.

2351
01:49:57.279 --> 01:49:59.119
<v Speaker 1>Know what they're doing. I just don't like any of it.

2352
01:49:59.640 --> 01:50:05.479
<v Speaker 2>Of course. All right, final story, A happy trails and

2353
01:50:05.560 --> 01:50:09.479
<v Speaker 2>rest in peace to Victor Antonoff, who was the influential

2354
01:50:09.520 --> 01:50:14.560
<v Speaker 2>designer and artist on Dishonored and Half Life two gets

2355
01:50:14.560 --> 01:50:17.800
<v Speaker 2>credited with a lot of the visual language of Half

2356
01:50:17.880 --> 01:50:21.119
<v Speaker 2>Life two and Dishonored. A lot of people came out

2357
01:50:21.119 --> 01:50:23.079
<v Speaker 2>of the woodworks to be like, it was awesome to

2358
01:50:23.119 --> 01:50:26.680
<v Speaker 2>work with Victor, really respected him, and this is a

2359
01:50:26.720 --> 01:50:29.760
<v Speaker 2>really sad thing. He was. He was in his fifties.

2360
01:50:29.760 --> 01:50:31.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't have this exact age here, but he was

2361
01:50:31.840 --> 01:50:35.159
<v Speaker 2>not some super old timer. This is just like, oh man,

2362
01:50:36.359 --> 01:50:39.000
<v Speaker 2>you can go at any time and you can have

2363
01:50:39.039 --> 01:50:41.039
<v Speaker 2>made Half Life two and that game doesn't feel like

2364
01:50:41.039 --> 01:50:43.560
<v Speaker 2>it's all that long ago and you can still pass away.

2365
01:50:44.000 --> 01:50:46.720
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, a shout out to Victor Antonov rest and peace.

2366
01:50:47.479 --> 01:50:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Sad story, but incredible, incredible body of work.

2367
01:50:51.319 --> 01:50:53.439
<v Speaker 4>Av A two is still one of my favorite games

2368
01:50:53.479 --> 01:50:56.000
<v Speaker 4>in But you know I was talking before with a

2369
01:50:56.079 --> 01:50:58.279
<v Speaker 4>vowed how important is for your games. You just look

2370
01:50:58.359 --> 01:51:02.560
<v Speaker 4>distinct and just the way City seventeen uh looks at

2371
01:51:02.560 --> 01:51:05.079
<v Speaker 4>that game, right, It's like I can look at any

2372
01:51:05.600 --> 01:51:08.880
<v Speaker 4>single square inch of that just immediately identify it as

2373
01:51:09.000 --> 01:51:09.640
<v Speaker 4>Half Life two.

2374
01:51:09.680 --> 01:51:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

2375
01:51:09.960 --> 01:51:12.319
<v Speaker 4>That just incredible combination of that, you know, sort of

2376
01:51:12.399 --> 01:51:18.439
<v Speaker 4>Eastern European brutalism with these like unsettling nineteen eighty four

2377
01:51:18.720 --> 01:51:22.600
<v Speaker 4>sci fi touches as well. It is so haunting, it

2378
01:51:22.680 --> 01:51:25.840
<v Speaker 4>is such an incredible atmosphere. It's a big part of

2379
01:51:25.880 --> 01:51:28.760
<v Speaker 4>what made you know, Halfway two so memorable. Of course,

2380
01:51:28.760 --> 01:51:30.359
<v Speaker 4>the gravity gun gets a lot of the credit, as

2381
01:51:30.359 --> 01:51:32.880
<v Speaker 4>it should, but the art in that game is just amazing.

2382
01:51:34.199 --> 01:51:35.760
<v Speaker 2>That does it for the news, jan I'm handing the

2383
01:51:35.760 --> 01:51:37.520
<v Speaker 2>show back over to you, folks.

2384
01:51:37.800 --> 01:51:40.000
<v Speaker 1>We put out a call for emails last week, and

2385
01:51:40.079 --> 01:51:42.680
<v Speaker 1>we got emails, and we're going to read them right

2386
01:51:42.720 --> 01:51:56.680
<v Speaker 1>after this. Fricky break emails. Pomcastagiant bomb dot com is

2387
01:51:56.680 --> 01:51:59.880
<v Speaker 1>the email addressed to send your emails too, And Hey,

2388
01:52:00.319 --> 01:52:03.880
<v Speaker 1>I got beef, I got beef, boys? What the fuck? Google?

2389
01:52:04.359 --> 01:52:04.760
<v Speaker 2>The fuck?

2390
01:52:05.159 --> 01:52:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Why would you suddenly decide if I am going to

2391
01:52:09.279 --> 01:52:13.479
<v Speaker 1>identify three things that are obviously spam, why are you

2392
01:52:13.600 --> 01:52:18.439
<v Speaker 1>going to throw the hard work of our audience, our

2393
01:52:18.479 --> 01:52:22.119
<v Speaker 1>community members into the fucking spam folder with all the

2394
01:52:22.239 --> 01:52:24.039
<v Speaker 1>actual other garbage that is that.

2395
01:52:25.039 --> 01:52:29.119
<v Speaker 4>Yes, okay, you guys didn't You guys didn't look in

2396
01:52:29.159 --> 01:52:30.000
<v Speaker 4>the spam I don't.

2397
01:52:30.279 --> 01:52:32.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't have access. So what the way it works

2398
01:52:32.159 --> 01:52:35.079
<v Speaker 2>is it gets forwarded to my inbox, so it only

2399
01:52:35.079 --> 01:52:37.199
<v Speaker 2>gets forwarded in my inbox if it gets in that inbox.

2400
01:52:37.399 --> 01:52:39.680
<v Speaker 2>So I don't have access to the BombCast spam folder.

2401
01:52:40.760 --> 01:52:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I I I thought I didn't need to look in there.

2402
01:52:43.079 --> 01:52:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Why why why did they do that.

2403
01:52:44.760 --> 01:52:46.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm just gonna say it, like, you know, because when

01:52:48.680 --> 01:52:51.279
<v Speaker 4>Like that's weird. I want to throw in the spam folder.

01:52:51.319 --> 01:52:54.439
<v Speaker 4>That was my first It's not judging, Jan I'm not saying.

2408
01:52:55.000 --> 01:52:58.159
<v Speaker 2>Judge why you didn't say anything. I mean, you want

2409
01:52:58.159 --> 01:52:59.840

<v Speaker 4>I didn't help. I had my chance to help and

2411
01:53:02.199 --> 01:53:02.600

01:53:02.720 --> 01:53:04.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is all this is your fault.

2413
01:53:04.600 --> 01:53:07.159
<v Speaker 4>This is actually my fault when you really think about it.

01:53:07.560 --> 01:53:11.199
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, so Google, we got beef. I'm gonna check

2415
01:53:11.199 --> 01:53:13.840
<v Speaker 1>in the spam folder. So apologies if we missed your

2416
01:53:13.880 --> 01:53:18.079
<v Speaker 1>email last week and you were upset, I'm upset with you, dog.

2417
01:53:18.640 --> 01:53:21.920
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, we've had this email on this document for

2418
01:53:22.000 --> 01:53:26.399
<v Speaker 1>about three or four weeks now. Hi, Giant bomb Cast team.

2419
01:53:26.680 --> 01:53:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm writing on behalf of my husband, David B who's

2420
01:53:29.600 --> 01:53:31.640
<v Speaker 1>been a loyal listener of your podcast for years from

2421
01:53:31.680 --> 01:53:34.520
<v Speaker 1>San Diego, California. He often says, listening to you feels

2422
01:53:34.560 --> 01:53:36.239
<v Speaker 1>like being in a room with his close friends, and

2423
01:53:36.279 --> 01:53:39.199
<v Speaker 1>your episodes have been a trusted companion to him, whether

2424
01:53:39.239 --> 01:53:41.439
<v Speaker 1>he's out on a run drive or just winding down

2425
01:53:41.439 --> 01:53:44.399
<v Speaker 1>at home. His birthday's coming up on February nineteenth, and

2426
01:53:44.439 --> 01:53:46.960
<v Speaker 1>he'll be turning thirty two. He has no idea I'm

2427
01:53:46.960 --> 01:53:49.079
<v Speaker 1>writing to you, but I thought it'd be an unforgettable

2428
01:53:49.079 --> 01:53:50.880
<v Speaker 1>surprise if you could give him a quick shout out

2429
01:53:50.920 --> 01:53:52.960
<v Speaker 1>on an episode. Here's a fun question to consider for

2430
01:53:53.000 --> 01:53:55.680
<v Speaker 1>the podcast keeping at Birthday themed. If you could get

2431
01:53:56.000 --> 01:53:59.960
<v Speaker 1>give a gift to someone in any an in game

2432
01:54:00.119 --> 01:54:02.399
<v Speaker 1>item as a real life birthday present, what would it

2433
01:54:02.439 --> 01:54:04.119
<v Speaker 1>be and why? Thank you for all the laughs and

2434
01:54:04.159 --> 01:54:05.960
<v Speaker 1>amazing content you put out each every.

2435
01:54:05.840 --> 01:54:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Week, Katie, Happy Birthday, David B.

2436
01:54:11.880 --> 01:54:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I would give you David be a pow. We can't

2437
01:54:14.800 --> 01:54:16.720
<v Speaker 1>hear it, Mike, Okay, there it is.

2438
01:54:22.359 --> 01:54:23.960
<v Speaker 2>I guess think it's David Byrne.

2439
01:54:24.399 --> 01:54:25.640
<v Speaker 4>It's probably David Byrne.

2440
01:54:26.239 --> 01:54:29.399
<v Speaker 2>Could be Bowie, Yeah, no, he's I'm sorry.

2441
01:54:29.560 --> 01:54:30.479
<v Speaker 4>I'll tell you the news.

2442
01:54:30.279 --> 01:54:33.079
<v Speaker 1>After Oh shit, Oh what happened? Isn't it?

2443
01:54:33.119 --> 01:54:33.680
<v Speaker 4>Billie back?

2444
01:54:34.520 --> 01:54:37.840
<v Speaker 2>That's the news, David B.

2445
01:54:38.199 --> 01:54:41.479
<v Speaker 3>Give someone the uh you know the gimmick that Axel

2446
01:54:41.600 --> 01:54:44.159
<v Speaker 3>is in and Twisted Metal two, or you can.

2447
01:54:44.439 --> 01:54:48.119
<v Speaker 4>Time incredible how often you're thinking about Twisted Bell two.

2448
01:54:48.119 --> 01:54:50.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm not dislike it. I kind of respect it.

2449
01:54:50.960 --> 01:54:53.039
<v Speaker 2>But to be fair, and if I'm thinking about Twisted

2450
01:54:53.000 --> 01:54:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Metal two, I am thinking about Axel.

2451
01:54:54.720 --> 01:54:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

2452
01:54:55.920 --> 01:54:56.880
<v Speaker 4>I've got a poster up there.

2453
01:54:56.920 --> 01:55:00.319
<v Speaker 3>It's just the flaming Eiffel Tower with Axel screaming, shooting

2454
01:55:00.359 --> 01:55:01.920
<v Speaker 3>missiles while running over Twister.

2455
01:55:02.319 --> 01:55:04.439
<v Speaker 4>It is. It's the most video game cover ever and

2456
01:55:04.479 --> 01:55:04.920
<v Speaker 4>I love it.

2457
01:55:05.560 --> 01:55:08.119
<v Speaker 2>So you remember, like the game insisting that we are

2458
01:55:08.159 --> 01:55:11.119
<v Speaker 2>aware that Axel is in constant page, so you would

2459
01:55:11.159 --> 01:55:13.520
<v Speaker 2>give them the gift of body horror.

2460
01:55:15.039 --> 01:55:16.920
<v Speaker 4>Axle Power. I think he's having fun.

2461
01:55:19.439 --> 01:55:23.000
<v Speaker 2>No one's ever screamed axle Power in agony. That's impossible.

2462
01:55:23.600 --> 01:55:27.079
<v Speaker 4>Axel should have at least about a health of the game, right,

2463
01:55:27.159 --> 01:55:32.520
<v Speaker 4>he is an exposed human man that is already injured. Yeah.

2464
01:55:32.560 --> 01:55:39.439
<v Speaker 4>The motorcycle man that's Ghosts has less mister is great.

2465
01:55:40.159 --> 01:55:41.880
<v Speaker 4>I like I think I did like Ghost. I think

2466
01:55:41.880 --> 01:55:42.760
<v Speaker 4>Ghost was my favorite.

2467
01:55:42.840 --> 01:55:46.119
<v Speaker 1>I would give you boys a floor chicken from Castlevania

2468
01:55:46.279 --> 01:55:48.760
<v Speaker 1>some good streaming rage.

2469
01:55:49.039 --> 01:55:52.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, oh yeah, that would be pretty good.

2470
01:55:52.239 --> 01:55:55.119
<v Speaker 2>I would get one of the glowing chests from Fortnite

2471
01:55:55.199 --> 01:55:58.319
<v Speaker 2>or Avowed and just who knows what's in there. I

2472
01:55:58.399 --> 01:56:01.319
<v Speaker 2>could just be like a patient about opening a chest

2473
01:56:01.359 --> 01:56:03.840
<v Speaker 2>that's glowing and humming and making noises. I think that

2474
01:56:03.840 --> 01:56:04.680
<v Speaker 2>would be I think.

2475
01:56:04.680 --> 01:56:06.760
<v Speaker 3>About like a grim wire, like you just keep it

2476
01:56:06.800 --> 01:56:08.399
<v Speaker 3>on a bookshelf and then pull it out. You're like,

2477
01:56:08.520 --> 01:56:10.079
<v Speaker 3>I wonder what four powers I got here?

2478
01:56:10.600 --> 01:56:13.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean obviously that would rule. Yeah, do my yard work.

2479
01:56:17.359 --> 01:56:20.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'll give you a choco bow from the hit

2480
01:56:20.159 --> 01:56:23.520
<v Speaker 4>and very important good series Final Fantasy. I'm just gonna

2481
01:56:23.520 --> 01:56:27.720
<v Speaker 4>start doing a Final Fantasy filibuster every chance I can that.

2482
01:56:27.119 --> 01:56:29.119
<v Speaker 2>That choke would do a kick flip. No, then get

2483
01:56:29.119 --> 01:56:31.079
<v Speaker 2>the fun out of here, Mike.

2484
01:56:31.319 --> 01:56:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I am kind of on your side with Final Fantasy,

2485
01:56:33.640 --> 01:56:35.000
<v Speaker 1>and you can't keep doing it.

2486
01:56:35.119 --> 01:56:41.239
<v Speaker 4>You can't sound like a nerve started it. Don't you

2487
01:56:41.600 --> 01:56:41.800
<v Speaker 4>do it?

2488
01:56:41.840 --> 01:56:43.079
<v Speaker 2>For of course you could do that?

2489
01:56:45.479 --> 01:56:46.479
<v Speaker 4>Was that what you got this month?

2490
01:56:47.279 --> 01:56:49.079
<v Speaker 1>Nice? Yeah?

2491
01:56:49.359 --> 01:56:51.800
<v Speaker 4>The American flags patriotic.

2492
01:56:51.920 --> 01:56:54.000
<v Speaker 2>It's because squaresofts coming to America.

2493
01:56:57.760 --> 01:57:00.520
<v Speaker 4>Going to say the choke, what's the joke? Mike must

2494
01:57:00.560 --> 01:57:06.520
<v Speaker 4>have spelled coming a different way? I mean the glitterists all.

2495
01:57:06.520 --> 01:57:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Right, next to email Donald Twang Brothers Brothers listen.

2496
01:57:13.960 --> 01:57:15.159
<v Speaker 4>I mean the Glitterists.

2497
01:57:20.680 --> 01:57:21.399
<v Speaker 2>That's the Clitus.

2498
01:57:22.640 --> 01:57:24.720
<v Speaker 4>That had to be the Blues Brothers. Not you get

2499
01:57:24.720 --> 01:57:27.159
<v Speaker 4>thumb Dan, I talk about final Fantasy for more than

2500
01:57:27.159 --> 01:57:30.439
<v Speaker 4>ten seconds. It's a big issue my foul fantasy fellow buster,

2501
01:57:30.520 --> 01:57:33.359
<v Speaker 4>which is fun to say. But no, they're allowed to

2502
01:57:33.840 --> 01:57:39.439
<v Speaker 4>bang on their soundboards and wave their nationalistic magazines at us,

2503
01:57:39.479 --> 01:57:52.399
<v Speaker 4>and Hill can't hit the button, which one.

2504
01:57:47.039 --> 01:57:49.600
<v Speaker 2>I thought, the one who has to get upset with

2505
01:57:49.760 --> 01:57:52.000
<v Speaker 2>a turn based energy is mentioned for a second that

2506
01:57:52.079 --> 01:57:55.680
<v Speaker 2>with the next story is about we're not what's better

2507
01:57:55.720 --> 01:57:56.359
<v Speaker 2>than you are?

2508
01:57:57.760 --> 01:57:58.640
<v Speaker 4>It's fantasy.

2509
01:57:59.119 --> 01:58:01.239
<v Speaker 2>Hey Bombers, Hey Mike.

2510
01:58:01.319 --> 01:58:03.800
<v Speaker 3>Speaking of nerd stuff, I thought of an analogy of

2511
01:58:03.840 --> 01:58:06.199
<v Speaker 3>why I hate Lord of the Rings, and it's it's

2512
01:58:06.319 --> 01:58:10.760
<v Speaker 3>imagine it in Star Wars the original trilogy, if everything

2513
01:58:10.840 --> 01:58:12.560
<v Speaker 3>was the same, but it just focused on the e

2514
01:58:12.680 --> 01:58:16.159
<v Speaker 3>Walks as the main story thing because they're both short.

2515
01:58:16.359 --> 01:58:20.279
<v Speaker 3>Well no, but it's just like there like like they're

2516
01:58:20.319 --> 01:58:23.279
<v Speaker 3>like I said, but the Hobbits are just so.

2517
01:58:23.359 --> 01:58:26.520
<v Speaker 4>Much a comment. Yeah, because they're both short, that's but

2518
01:58:26.560 --> 01:58:29.319
<v Speaker 4>they don't have powers or anything. But powers they're not

2519
01:58:29.439 --> 01:58:32.960
<v Speaker 4>like cool they do have powers, are you hate Star.

2520
01:58:32.760 --> 01:58:35.600
<v Speaker 3>Wars had Luke Skywalker and Han Solo and Darth Vader,

2521
01:58:35.840 --> 01:58:39.079
<v Speaker 3>Lord of the Rings rings about Bingle Mortensen.

2522
01:58:39.359 --> 01:58:42.640
<v Speaker 4>Maybe, like, what are Solo's powers being?

2523
01:58:42.680 --> 01:58:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Cool?

2524
01:58:43.920 --> 01:58:45.079
<v Speaker 4>Okay? Cool? Great?

2525
01:58:46.119 --> 01:58:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I do suggest everyone check out.

2526
01:58:50.439 --> 01:58:53.800
<v Speaker 4>There's a fun dark more Stanza than that.

2527
01:58:55.560 --> 01:58:57.399
<v Speaker 2>Actually, queed, I want to check which ones I got here.

2528
01:58:57.439 --> 01:59:10.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, Yeah, all right, that's what I got.

2529
01:59:11.960 --> 01:59:14.399
<v Speaker 1>There's a fun Darth Vader comic. I think the panel

2530
01:59:14.479 --> 01:59:16.720
<v Speaker 1>kind of went around the internet where he goes back

2531
01:59:16.720 --> 01:59:24.439
<v Speaker 1>to tattooing and he kills Watto. Anyway, next email comes

2532
01:59:24.439 --> 01:59:27.279
<v Speaker 1>from sent from my iPhone. Hey, bombers, please keep me

2533
01:59:27.319 --> 01:59:29.600
<v Speaker 1>anonymous as I can't afford to get fired.

2534
01:59:30.159 --> 01:59:30.279
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

2535
01:59:30.640 --> 01:59:33.279
<v Speaker 1>I live in work in you know, Okay? I live

2536
01:59:33.319 --> 01:59:37.760
<v Speaker 1>in work at a company that has an overwhelmingly hardcore,

2537
01:59:38.159 --> 01:59:42.119
<v Speaker 1>let's say, deplorable workforce. I did not know this when

2538
01:59:42.159 --> 01:59:44.600
<v Speaker 1>I first started, and it really didn't show until around

2539
01:59:44.680 --> 01:59:47.680
<v Speaker 1>June of last year. By then, I was too entrenched

2540
01:59:47.720 --> 01:59:50.880
<v Speaker 1>in the job and dependent upon the paycheck. Now, as

2541
01:59:50.880 --> 01:59:53.359
<v Speaker 1>the world is crumbling, it's driving me insane and I

2542
01:59:53.399 --> 01:59:56.399
<v Speaker 1>feel immense guilt. I've been actively trying to find a

2543
01:59:56.399 --> 01:59:59.000
<v Speaker 1>new job, but nothing has materialized. And I don't have

2544
01:59:59.039 --> 02:00:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the savings to just quit it yet without having another

2545
02:00:02.079 --> 02:00:07.199
<v Speaker 1>job lined up. Do I start subtly sabotaging the business

2546
02:00:07.199 --> 02:00:13.279
<v Speaker 1>from within? Uh, you're giving me too many details, but

2547
02:00:13.319 --> 02:00:14.000
<v Speaker 1>there's still just.

2548
02:00:13.960 --> 02:00:16.000
<v Speaker 4>A happen when you started working for Ice Scott.

2549
02:00:17.199 --> 02:00:20.039
<v Speaker 1>There's a few good people here whose lives I wouldn't

2550
02:00:20.039 --> 02:00:22.359
<v Speaker 1>want to derail in the aftermath. Do I bite the

2551
02:00:22.359 --> 02:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>bullet and quit and hope to find a new job

2552
02:00:24.880 --> 02:00:28.199
<v Speaker 1>sooner than that? Is staying until I find my next job?

2553
02:00:28.239 --> 02:00:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Selfish and a failure to the resistance. Any advice would

2554
02:00:31.039 --> 02:00:33.600
<v Speaker 1>be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone.

2555
02:00:34.880 --> 02:00:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's be clear, any job you're working right now is

2556
02:00:37.039 --> 02:00:40.039
<v Speaker 2>going to send money. They control the government like they

2557
02:00:40.239 --> 02:00:42.520
<v Speaker 2>like you. There's no escape in it, so don't let

2558
02:00:42.520 --> 02:00:44.560
<v Speaker 2>your guilt screw up anything in your life.

2559
02:00:44.560 --> 02:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Now.

2560
02:00:44.680 --> 02:00:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Do you want to sabotage it slowly from the inside?

2561
02:00:46.640 --> 02:00:49.359
<v Speaker 2>Go to town? Yeah, knock yourself at that sounds like a

2562
02:00:49.359 --> 02:00:49.840
<v Speaker 2>fun time.

2563
02:00:50.920 --> 02:00:51.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah.

2564
02:00:51.439 --> 02:00:53.760
<v Speaker 4>Don't don't quit till you got something else lined up.

2565
02:00:53.800 --> 02:00:56.640
<v Speaker 4>Don't put yourself out, yeah yeah. Take care of yourself danger.

2566
02:00:58.159 --> 02:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, take care of yourself. Be selfish in this instance.

2567
02:01:02.279 --> 02:01:05.960
<v Speaker 2>It's like, are you one of the dose kids or something?

2568
02:01:06.039 --> 02:01:07.560
<v Speaker 4>I would like support details.

2569
02:01:07.600 --> 02:01:10.760
<v Speaker 2>I guess are you one of EM's young boys in

2570
02:01:10.840 --> 02:01:14.920
<v Speaker 2>his boy army? Like one of them didn't realize, like

2571
02:01:15.039 --> 02:01:18.359
<v Speaker 2>how this is kind of some Nazi ship there over here.

2572
02:01:18.680 --> 02:01:21.720
<v Speaker 4>It's kind of weird and they're a big fan and

2573
02:01:21.920 --> 02:01:22.720
<v Speaker 4>writing into it.

2574
02:01:23.159 --> 02:01:25.479
<v Speaker 1>You know, would that be the weirdest thing to happen?

2575
02:01:26.520 --> 02:01:27.720
<v Speaker 1>You can? You can you get me.

2576
02:01:27.760 --> 02:01:31.039
<v Speaker 2>Off the anti depressant farm list if you're there, actually

2577
02:01:31.439 --> 02:01:35.079
<v Speaker 2>get us not go, or if you can't stay here,

2578
02:01:35.319 --> 02:01:40.079
<v Speaker 2>assign us to the same farm. Yeah, yeah, sign to

2579
02:01:40.119 --> 02:01:42.880
<v Speaker 2>the one where they have the podcasting farming.

2580
02:01:42.920 --> 02:01:45.880
<v Speaker 4>What we're doing, Yeah, we need lots of USB chords.

2581
02:01:46.239 --> 02:01:48.560
<v Speaker 1>I do not want to be on the podcast farm

2582
02:01:48.600 --> 02:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>with other podcasters.

2583
02:01:49.920 --> 02:01:53.439
<v Speaker 4>No, that's true if they weren't other games podcast people

2584
02:01:54.800 --> 02:01:55.439
<v Speaker 4>was there.

2585
02:01:57.600 --> 02:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Like Ben Hansen, Yeah, Ben Hanson, I'd be all right,

2586
02:02:01.079 --> 02:02:03.520
<v Speaker 1>the kind of funny cruise. Sure, do not put me

2587
02:02:03.560 --> 02:02:06.880
<v Speaker 1>on the podcast farm with all these other Like I

2588
02:02:06.880 --> 02:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be next.

2589
02:02:07.720 --> 02:02:11.720
<v Speaker 4>To Joke to see a broken and talk to us.

2590
02:02:12.800 --> 02:02:15.279
<v Speaker 2>Hey did they find her? She was missing? Apparently?

2591
02:02:15.399 --> 02:02:21.199
<v Speaker 4>What I think? So I'm a little confused about that, Like, yeah,

2592
02:02:21.279 --> 02:02:23.920
<v Speaker 4>she tried to sew a cryptocurrency and then it failed.

2593
02:02:24.359 --> 02:02:27.159
<v Speaker 2>But like, is that really like her fault? It isn't

2594
02:02:27.159 --> 02:02:30.840
<v Speaker 2>the whole point of crypto. You're gambling. So the way

2595
02:02:30.840 --> 02:02:32.920
<v Speaker 2>it works these days there it's called a rug pole

2596
02:02:33.199 --> 02:02:36.119
<v Speaker 2>where like you know, you you introduce the new currency

2597
02:02:36.439 --> 02:02:39.279
<v Speaker 2>and then everyone buys it, and then you take that

2598
02:02:39.359 --> 02:02:41.800
<v Speaker 2>money that everyone like is like the fees from them

2599
02:02:41.800 --> 02:02:44.119
<v Speaker 2>buying it, and then you don't invest in anymore and

2600
02:02:44.199 --> 02:02:46.600
<v Speaker 2>you disappear with that money that they gave you. And

2601
02:02:46.720 --> 02:02:49.560
<v Speaker 2>that is uh, yes, it is definitely seen as a

2602
02:02:49.600 --> 02:02:52.920
<v Speaker 2>scam because it is uh is it illegal? I don't

2603
02:02:53.000 --> 02:02:55.119
<v Speaker 2>think they're still figuring all that out. Probably eventually they

2604
02:02:55.119 --> 02:02:57.600
<v Speaker 2>will illegalize that sort of thing illegal.

2605
02:02:59.000 --> 02:03:01.279
<v Speaker 4>I just have a hard time feeling sorry for anybody

2606
02:03:01.279 --> 02:03:02.720
<v Speaker 4>who buy scripto currency.

2607
02:03:02.800 --> 02:03:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Sure, I don't feel bad at all. Next email comes

2608
02:03:05.840 --> 02:03:10.279
<v Speaker 1>from Dylan from Ontario, Canada. Hey, Bomblini's I recently received

2609
02:03:10.279 --> 02:03:12.359
<v Speaker 1>a call from my dad out of a blue. I

2610
02:03:12.399 --> 02:03:15.359
<v Speaker 1>assume something terrible happened, but instead he asks how can

2611
02:03:15.399 --> 02:03:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I play Super Nintendo? Now? He was talking about shoot hardware,

2612
02:03:19.000 --> 02:03:21.800
<v Speaker 1>but I'm wondering is there another consoleate device I can

2613
02:03:21.840 --> 02:03:26.800
<v Speaker 1>preload with games? And give him a SNSUSB controller with

2614
02:03:26.920 --> 02:03:29.800
<v Speaker 1>that instead. I figured this would be cheaper, the cheaper

2615
02:03:29.800 --> 02:03:31.960
<v Speaker 1>option in the long run, but I worry about having

2616
02:03:32.199 --> 02:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>to trouble shoot issues, so I want something easy enough

2617
02:03:35.119 --> 02:03:37.279
<v Speaker 1>for a fifty five year old immigrant to handle. Do

2618
02:03:37.359 --> 02:03:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I just buy him a cheap switch in the controller

2619
02:03:39.920 --> 02:03:42.079
<v Speaker 1>to show him the online service there. I feel like

2620
02:03:42.119 --> 02:03:44.279
<v Speaker 1>there's got to be a better way. Any help is appreciated.

2621
02:03:44.720 --> 02:03:47.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I've done this a few times as a gift

2622
02:03:47.199 --> 02:03:49.680
<v Speaker 3>where I've done it with the NES Classic and the

2623
02:03:49.720 --> 02:03:52.560
<v Speaker 3>SNS Classic where it's just like, oh, okay, here's someone

2624
02:03:52.560 --> 02:03:54.680
<v Speaker 3>in my life that likes games but certainly wouldn't know

2625
02:03:54.800 --> 02:03:57.279
<v Speaker 3>about like emulation scene and things like that. So it's

2626
02:03:57.319 --> 02:03:59.159
<v Speaker 3>just like, you know, if you know how to do

2627
02:03:59.199 --> 02:04:01.000
<v Speaker 3>that stuff, which is very easy to do and very

2628
02:04:01.000 --> 02:04:03.439
<v Speaker 3>easy to follow YouTube videos and stuff. Now just get

2629
02:04:03.640 --> 02:04:06.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how available like the SNS Classic is

2630
02:04:06.039 --> 02:04:06.560
<v Speaker 3>on Amazon.

2631
02:04:06.600 --> 02:04:08.439
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they're too expensive there. I think there's

2632
02:04:08.439 --> 02:04:11.239
<v Speaker 2>still like a hovering around how much they cost they

2633
02:04:11.359 --> 02:04:13.520
<v Speaker 2>cost when you originally bought them, Maybe a little bit more,

2634
02:04:13.560 --> 02:04:14.279
<v Speaker 2>but then they're.

2635
02:04:14.079 --> 02:04:16.479
<v Speaker 4>Still worth it for that one and sixty dollars on

2636
02:04:16.520 --> 02:04:18.159
<v Speaker 4>Amazon right now, it's a little bit much.

2637
02:04:18.159 --> 02:04:19.880
<v Speaker 3>So there's definitely cheaper ways to do it, and you

2638
02:04:19.920 --> 02:04:23.199
<v Speaker 3>could just get like an eight bit du Actually, yeah,

2639
02:04:23.199 --> 02:04:24.840
<v Speaker 3>I just got on my desk car got the new

2640
02:04:24.840 --> 02:04:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Ganky one that's eight and dough and it's great. So

2641
02:04:28.239 --> 02:04:31.319
<v Speaker 3>you just get like a forty dollars controller and then, uh,

2642
02:04:32.800 --> 02:04:33.880
<v Speaker 3>it would be the easiest way.

2643
02:04:33.920 --> 02:04:34.199
<v Speaker 4>Grub.

2644
02:04:34.840 --> 02:04:38.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm like, I SNS many clearly is the easiest.

2645
02:04:38.840 --> 02:04:41.119
<v Speaker 2>So then what is the one that is more affordable

2646
02:04:41.119 --> 02:04:45.319
<v Speaker 2>than that? Probably a Roundsberry pie that you put retro

2647
02:04:45.399 --> 02:04:48.680
<v Speaker 2>pie on so it just works. But boy, that's that

2648
02:04:48.840 --> 02:04:50.640
<v Speaker 2>is playing with fire in case anything does go.

2649
02:04:50.640 --> 02:04:53.279
<v Speaker 3>Wrong, right, trying to think the most cool proof option.

2650
02:04:53.359 --> 02:04:56.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I mean spending the money on s Ands

2651
02:04:56.039 --> 02:04:57.079
<v Speaker 3>Mini that's.

2652
02:04:56.920 --> 02:05:00.000
<v Speaker 4>The actual control. There are more like eighty dollars on eBay.

2653
02:05:00.000 --> 02:05:05.039
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's that's totally reasonable, and it's not that hard

2654
02:05:05.079 --> 02:05:05.720
<v Speaker 2>to get games on it.

2655
02:05:05.760 --> 02:05:07.960
<v Speaker 4>Even I was able to do it. I'm not much

2656
02:05:08.000 --> 02:05:11.199
<v Speaker 4>for this kind of stuff usually, so yeah.

2657
02:05:11.319 --> 02:05:13.199
<v Speaker 2>I would like go Facebook Marketplace, see if you can

2658
02:05:13.239 --> 02:05:16.840
<v Speaker 2>find a Super Nintendo Mini and uh and just follow

2659
02:05:16.880 --> 02:05:19.520
<v Speaker 2>the YouTube guides. It's super simple. Once that thing's working,

2660
02:05:19.560 --> 02:05:21.479
<v Speaker 2>it'll just work. The way it's intended to work.

2661
02:05:21.560 --> 02:05:27.159
<v Speaker 5>So yeah, all right, Uh, I appreciate all of the

2662
02:05:27.199 --> 02:05:30.359
<v Speaker 5>lovely emails that everyone sent in, especially when you sent

2663
02:05:30.399 --> 02:05:32.159
<v Speaker 5>them in last week, but they got caught up in

2664
02:05:32.159 --> 02:05:33.359
<v Speaker 5>the BombCast spam folder.

2665
02:05:33.439 --> 02:05:35.439
<v Speaker 1>See that's the thing, folks. If you sign us up

2666
02:05:35.479 --> 02:05:38.479
<v Speaker 1>for too many dumb emails and we don't have any

2667
02:05:38.600 --> 02:05:40.600
<v Speaker 1>emails to read on the show, not only does Mike

2668
02:05:40.680 --> 02:05:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Manani not get paid all right, but we also can't

2669
02:05:43.800 --> 02:05:45.319
<v Speaker 1>read any emails and what.

2670
02:05:45.399 --> 02:05:48.840
<v Speaker 4>Else to get paid what I'm supposed to get paid?

2671
02:05:50.039 --> 02:05:50.920
<v Speaker 4>That'd be incredible.

2672
02:05:51.079 --> 02:05:52.279
<v Speaker 2>Do you see that shit that happened to me on

2673
02:05:52.359 --> 02:05:54.000
<v Speaker 2>UPF last Friday Grub?

2674
02:05:54.079 --> 02:05:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say, I can't believe the contractors tried to

2675
02:05:56.720 --> 02:05:58.239
<v Speaker 1>unionize against you right in.

2676
02:05:58.199 --> 02:06:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Front of me. Where's our video card's damaged? There was

2677
02:06:01.079 --> 02:06:05.920
<v Speaker 2>there was no decorum, completely uncivil. It's been crying about

2678
02:06:06.039 --> 02:06:07.720
<v Speaker 2>retro tanks that he doesn't need.

2679
02:06:08.800 --> 02:06:12.920
<v Speaker 4>I grew up, got one back? Does he didn't have

2680
02:06:12.960 --> 02:06:14.560
<v Speaker 4>a retro tink? You never had one?

2681
02:06:14.600 --> 02:06:18.399
<v Speaker 2>You have one older, I don't have the new one.

2682
02:06:19.199 --> 02:06:20.439
<v Speaker 4>I don't have the new one.

2683
02:06:20.640 --> 02:06:22.479
<v Speaker 2>Lord of the Rings is like Star Wars if they

2684
02:06:22.479 --> 02:06:25.199
<v Speaker 2>were walks, because those are the two short people I

2685
02:06:25.239 --> 02:06:27.359
<v Speaker 2>know in media. That was a pretty compelling argument. Dan,

2686
02:06:27.399 --> 02:06:29.399
<v Speaker 2>I was thank you, I bought an thank you. I

2687
02:06:29.680 --> 02:06:31.399
<v Speaker 2>appreciate that I killed me.

2688
02:06:31.439 --> 02:06:33.760
<v Speaker 3>I was streaming a day or two ago and I

2689
02:06:33.800 --> 02:06:37.119
<v Speaker 3>was talking about how I got an oral surgery situation

2690
02:06:37.199 --> 02:06:39.359
<v Speaker 3>going on on Thursday, and I'm gonna be it's three

2691
02:06:39.359 --> 02:06:41.880
<v Speaker 3>hours long, and so I'm paying for the sedation, which

2692
02:06:42.399 --> 02:06:44.760
<v Speaker 3>entrance on cover any of this shit, and the sedation

2693
02:06:44.800 --> 02:06:47.600
<v Speaker 3>alone is like twenty two hundred dollars. And then someone

2694
02:06:47.640 --> 02:06:48.760
<v Speaker 3>in the chat just said, like, oh, do you know

2695
02:06:48.760 --> 02:06:50.800
<v Speaker 3>how many retro tanks that would be? And it killed me.

2696
02:06:50.960 --> 02:06:55.920
<v Speaker 4>It's like, oh, like three retro tanks. Yeah, that's money

2697
02:06:55.920 --> 02:06:57.520
<v Speaker 4>well spent. Though I don't want to be awake for

2698
02:06:57.600 --> 02:07:00.159
<v Speaker 4>three hours of getting my face drilled in. It's no,

2699
02:07:00.840 --> 02:07:05.960
<v Speaker 4>it's like, you know, it's it's fun. It's fun to be.

2700
02:07:07.920 --> 02:07:12.239
<v Speaker 4>You're right, Mike Banati, Michael Jackson shouldn't have had that happen,

2701
02:07:12.319 --> 02:07:18.920
<v Speaker 4>But I see how that happen. Yeah, I thought he

2702
02:07:19.000 --> 02:07:21.960
<v Speaker 4>should not have done it, but like I guess.

2703
02:07:21.680 --> 02:07:23.359
<v Speaker 1>I shouldn't have done a lot of things.

2704
02:07:23.439 --> 02:07:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Mike, Yeah, I feel like you're not taking a harsh

2705
02:07:26.000 --> 02:07:28.119
<v Speaker 2>enough stance against you, like you shouldn't have done that,

2706
02:07:28.199 --> 02:07:30.520
<v Speaker 2>but come very.

2707
02:07:30.439 --> 02:07:34.920
<v Speaker 4>Pro Michael Jackson. Yeah, definitely. I'm so confused about the

2708
02:07:34.960 --> 02:07:37.319
<v Speaker 4>canceled status of Michael Saxon. Be clear, he should be,

2709
02:07:37.439 --> 02:07:40.039
<v Speaker 4>so he's just he's just not. There are like.

2710
02:07:40.039 --> 02:07:43.920
<v Speaker 3>People that weirdly deny that he did a lot of wrongdoing,

2711
02:07:43.960 --> 02:07:46.720
<v Speaker 3>which is insane. But also I think there's just a

2712
02:07:46.720 --> 02:07:48.840
<v Speaker 3>bit of like these songs are really good, We're gonna

2713
02:07:48.880 --> 02:07:50.720
<v Speaker 3>keep playing music.

2714
02:07:51.199 --> 02:07:53.960
<v Speaker 4>Like this Halloween, all my theeces were dancing to a

2715
02:07:54.039 --> 02:07:58.239
<v Speaker 4>new sing special that was just them all dancing the Thriller,

2716
02:07:58.720 --> 02:08:02.319
<v Speaker 4>and I was like, this guy's not canceled. Something about

2717
02:08:02.319 --> 02:08:03.199
<v Speaker 4>his music.

2718
02:08:03.239 --> 02:08:05.600
<v Speaker 3>It's different than like there's not really a threat of

2719
02:08:05.720 --> 02:08:08.720
<v Speaker 3>like if Bill Cosby had not been canceled. It's not

2720
02:08:08.720 --> 02:08:10.840
<v Speaker 3>like people are gonna be putting on old Cosby episodes,

2721
02:08:11.039 --> 02:08:13.159
<v Speaker 3>but seminole at a bar.

2722
02:08:13.399 --> 02:08:13.600
<v Speaker 4>You know.

2723
02:08:13.960 --> 02:08:16.239
<v Speaker 2>I think Michael Jackson might be the most canceled if

2724
02:08:16.239 --> 02:08:18.439
<v Speaker 2>you think about it in some ways in terms of dying,

2725
02:08:18.760 --> 02:08:20.520
<v Speaker 2>in terms of him not yes, in terms.

2726
02:08:20.399 --> 02:08:22.840
<v Speaker 4>Of him being dead because of the anesthesis thing, which

2727
02:08:22.840 --> 02:08:23.880
<v Speaker 4>he shouldn't have done.

2728
02:08:23.680 --> 02:08:26.439
<v Speaker 2>But right you are for him to live, right, so

2729
02:08:26.479 --> 02:08:26.760
<v Speaker 2>he'd be.

2730
02:08:28.399 --> 02:08:31.399
<v Speaker 1>It's the way you make me feel. Uh, and that's

2731
02:08:31.439 --> 02:08:34.560
<v Speaker 1>why we can't stop the music. R Kelly though, go

2732
02:08:34.600 --> 02:08:35.119
<v Speaker 1>get fucked.

2733
02:08:36.399 --> 02:08:38.479
<v Speaker 3>No, did you see by the way, it was very

2734
02:08:38.479 --> 02:08:40.159
<v Speaker 3>funny they did on the S and L fifty thing

2735
02:08:40.199 --> 02:08:42.840
<v Speaker 3>they did at montage and in memoriam of all the

2736
02:08:42.880 --> 02:08:46.119
<v Speaker 3>things that age poorly in terms of like blackface and

2737
02:08:46.199 --> 02:08:49.520
<v Speaker 3>just racial insensitive stuff and everything, like just actually showing

2738
02:08:49.520 --> 02:08:51.600
<v Speaker 3>a montage of all the shit they've done over the years,

2739
02:08:51.600 --> 02:08:53.039
<v Speaker 3>like this doesn't look good now?

2740
02:08:53.640 --> 02:08:56.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, I haven't watched that. Was it pretty good?

2741
02:08:56.600 --> 02:08:56.920
<v Speaker 2>You know what?

2742
02:08:57.159 --> 02:08:58.359
<v Speaker 4>It's what you'd expect it to be.

2743
02:08:58.439 --> 02:08:59.760
<v Speaker 3>It is a big play the hits and have a

2744
02:08:59.800 --> 02:09:02.279
<v Speaker 3>bunch celebrity cameos things. But as far as one of

2745
02:09:02.279 --> 02:09:04.279
<v Speaker 3>those goes, it was it was very good. There's if

2746
02:09:04.279 --> 02:09:05.760
<v Speaker 3>you see got one thing. There was a really good

2747
02:09:06.000 --> 02:09:08.119
<v Speaker 3>Sandler song that was actually really touching.

2748
02:09:08.199 --> 02:09:11.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, Eddie Murphy does a very good Tracy Morgan

2749
02:09:11.520 --> 02:09:14.479
<v Speaker 1>imitation with Tracy Morgan directly next to him.

2750
02:09:14.920 --> 02:09:16.960
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't help but think of like, it's the same

2751
02:09:16.960 --> 02:09:19.119
<v Speaker 3>feeling I have when it's like, oh, some you know,

2752
02:09:19.199 --> 02:09:20.920
<v Speaker 3>young wrestler gets to share the ring with like aj

2753
02:09:21.039 --> 02:09:23.520
<v Speaker 3>Styles or something is e of these like young, like

2754
02:09:23.600 --> 02:09:25.960
<v Speaker 3>early twenties cast members where it's like you are in

2755
02:09:26.199 --> 02:09:28.760
<v Speaker 3>a sketch with Will Ferrell and Eddie Murphy. They've got

2756
02:09:28.800 --> 02:09:31.319
<v Speaker 3>to be like their heads have to be exploding. That's awesome.

2757
02:09:31.800 --> 02:09:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's exactly how I feel watching the qualifiers for

2758
02:09:37.119 --> 02:09:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Tournament of Champions on the Food.

2759
02:09:38.760 --> 02:09:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Network and it's like, that's Anne Burrell you're in there

2760
02:09:44.720 --> 02:09:47.199
<v Speaker 2>with right now. Do you get it?

2761
02:09:47.520 --> 02:09:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Did you go against Josh Sawyer? Oh my god? Anyway,
