Yeah, I mean I think about that 44 00:01:57.879 --> 00:01:59.359 guy a lot, maybe not as much. 45 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:03.319 Same the same as me. Yeah, Japan was great. We 46 00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:06.560 went to see Expedition thirty three. I wrote a preview 47 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:10.879 up of that game. Is one of those games where 48 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.159 I played it and I'm like, I played the preview 49 00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.159 build and I was like this preview build is really good. 50 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:17.120 It's really good. 51 00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:19.960 I don't know if this preview build is really good 52 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.120 or if I'm being like tricked and the game is 53 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.599 actually never slices in front of us. Yeah, judging what 54 00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:27.840 was in front of me, I was like, oh god, 55 00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.400 this might be. It might be a little Game of 56 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.240 the Year contender right here, baby. So I wrote a 57 00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:35.319 preview by it was very excited about. My whole angle 58 00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:37.599 on the preview was like, this is this reminds me 59 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:39.800 of the Miss Walker saka Gucci era from the early 60 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.159 three sixties, where people had ideas and they were trying 61 00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:44.599 to do it, but now we're in a position to 62 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.800 actually make it happen. Me and LiTi did a video 63 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:53.039 preview as well, and the entire time from the moment 64 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.800 I woke up that day to go leave for the 65 00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:59.560 airport to the day I got to Narita Airport to 66 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:03.280 come back. I was filming stuff for a travel log, 67 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.439 so you can watch me wake up first thing in 68 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:10.879 the morning, brush my teeth, leave for the airport, and 69 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:13.000 then Lucy was doing some of that on her side 70 00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.719 as well. And then obviously when we were like fictioned it, yeah, 71 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:19.039 we split fictioned it and then we would get together 72 00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:21.759 and then we'd film. I'd film or she'd film. And 73 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.560 what we did was we met with the developers of 74 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:31.280 sandfol the game. And obviously they're French studio, but they 75 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:35.840 love Japanese games. They they're inspired by Japanese RPGs, all 76 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.759 kinds of exactly exactly you couldn't tell. And so what 77 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:42.280 we figured is they're in Japan, we're in Japan. Why 78 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.400 don't we like walk around Japan, like walk around like 79 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:49.319 Tokyo Akihabora and that kind of place and just film 80 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.840 them as they interact with Japanese culture, especially the gaming side. 81 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.240 So like if they're walking along like we went to 82 00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.000 Super Potato and then at one point, like a developer 83 00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.000 might stop and be like, oh man, I love Final Fans. 84 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.639 See that's a perfect moment to speak to them about 85 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.080 Final Fantasy. Why do they like it? How is it 86 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.759 manifested in their game? You know that kind of stuff. 87 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:10.280 And we did that with like a bunch of stores 88 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.199 with Tower Records. Was really good because everything was kind 89 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.720 of like laid out really cleanly. So we went down 90 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.079 one aisle and every single thing they were like, oh 91 00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:21.240 I love Kingdom Hearts, oh I love near. I love 92 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:23.560 this and we just like interviewed them the entire time, 93 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.839 and then like after that, like walked around Akihabora for 94 00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:29.000 a bit, went Super Potato, went to a couple of 95 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.879 other retro game stores, got addicted to claw machines, and 96 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.959 like catalog the whole process. Yeah, so hopefully we'll have 97 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:41.079 a extensive travel log coming at some point soon. Collected 98 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.720 lots of footage. I spent yesterday labeling it so it 99 00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.000 was easier to edit together, and then I was going 100 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:47.759 to edit it, but the gen was like, let's get 101 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:49.920 short edit and I was like, oh yeah, an actual 102 00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:52.160 person that is good at editing, yes, oh yeah, that 103 00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:54.360 person to do it. Yeah. 104 00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:58.319 Yeah, So you're right there to see Clear Obscure Expedition. 105 00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:00.720 Thirty three, which is yeah, quickly show up to one 106 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:02.680 of my most anticipated games of the year list, and 107 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:05.199 thankfully it's not far away, not far away. 108 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.319 Not even a big RPG guy, But boy, they I 109 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.240 think they nailed the things that they're going for. 110 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:13.240 They really got right, So I am excited about that 111 00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:13.600 as well. 112 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.120 Real quick want to note chat had a very long 113 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.360 time making fun of me for not knowing those swords 114 00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:20.079 right away, and I just want to say, that's the 115 00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:22.240 most stereotypical nerd thing of You. 116 00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:24.079 Don't know that thword by looking at it?

Unannounced multiplayer first 138 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:17.720 person shooter game has been canceled. This is from Alex 139 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:21.680 Hopley at Game Reactor, it appears that Respawn Entertainment, the 140 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.279 studio behind titan Fall, Apex Legends, and Star Wars Jedi Survivor, 141 00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.240 has canceled an unannounced multiplayer first person shooter game this 142 00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:30.439 name three. 143 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:32.399 Yeah. They were, yeah, they were working. 144 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:33.800 On somehow they were cancer. 145 00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:36.120 They just worked on it so they could cancel. 146 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:38.399 The news comes from the Game Post, which caught a 147 00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:42.800 LinkedIn post by former Respawn employee Emily Evans which revealed 148 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:44.519 that the game she had been working on for the 149 00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.759 past year had been shut down. While we don't know 150 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.000 exactly what the game was, it was believed that it 151 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:52.839 could have been a brand new ip I. So this 152 00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:56.639 was before this latest phase when it was when it 153 00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:59.959 was canceled. Now, it was previously, or at least the 154 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:01.480 team that was working on that. 155 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.160 Star Wars mobility based. 156 00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:05.800 First person shooter game that was going to have all 157 00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:07.720 kinds of cool stuff, but in the Star Wars universe, 158 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.560 that project got canceled. But then that team kind of 159 00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:13.000 likely took a lot of that work and was going 160 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.040 to repurpose it for whatever this was going to be, 161 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:19.160 which I don't know, but that now that has also 162 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:22.959 been canceled. So nothing was titan Fall here, which I 163 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:25.600 guess some people might be relieved to hear, but also 164 00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:27.480 they're not, like, it's not like they're working on anything 165 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.720 titan Fall either, at least, so that's that's yeah. 166 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.319 Is that known? Right? Like titan Fall isn't actively in 167 00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:34.399 production there? 168 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:36.199 I mean, you know, it's the last time we talked 169 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:38.560 about this, you know, the titan Fall, it was titan 170 00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:41.480 Fall Legends was being worked on as a major update 171 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:45.160 to Apex Legends, and then that was canceled, and since 172 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:46.160 then there's been. 173 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:47.319 No change to that. 174 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:49.120 But you know, I think people are always getting their 175 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.959 hopes up, so as I guess, as a reminder and 176 00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:56.040 as confirmation, there is nothing titan Fall happening, unless you know, 177 00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:58.079 they are beginning to think maybe some of the stuff 178 00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.079 they're gonna do with Apex Legends again might involve some 179 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.879 titan Fall stuff. But boy, if they wanted to do that, 180 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:06.519 why didn't they just not cancel the titan Fall Legends things, 181 00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:10.959 the content that they were planning to do originally? So yeah, really, okay, really, 182 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.399 all that's happening over at Respawn now is Apex Legends, 183 00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:18.600 Star Wars and Star Wars, Jedi, the third game in 184 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:19.240 that series. 185 00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:21.920 And then there is a skunk Works. 186 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.560 Team led by Steve Bakuda, who was the director of 187 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:28.079 Titanfall one. He's been like working on a prototype phase 188 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:30.920 for a new project for a very long time now 189 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:32.960 and he is still doing that. 190 00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:33.879 That project is. 191 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:36.279 Also not you know, close to coming out or anything 192 00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:38.919 like that. It's at least two maybe three years away, 193 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:41.000 and who knows if that actually ever sees the light 194 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:41.360 of day. 195 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:44.159 But that game is different from this one. That is 196 00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:50.159 different for actively in production. That is, yes, actively in prototyping. 197 00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:51.879 Right, so right the way Respawn does stuff where they 198 00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:54.399 spend you know, half the development phase prototyping half of 199 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:56.799 it like polishing all the great ideas that they came 200 00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:57.200 up with. 201 00:08:57.440 --> 00:08:59.840 That is still in the first part of that phase. 202 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.320 But active development as far as like all the things 203 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.960 that they're working toward is development absolutely yes. 204 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.480 And then nothing else that's it. Wait, and one of 205 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:09.200 the way would happen. 206 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:11.879 There's the Tactics game that they're working on with Reactor, 207 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:13.879 but a bit Reactors doing the development on that really, 208 00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:14.720 so yeah. 209 00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:16.440 I wonder how successful they would be if they just 210 00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:19.600 snipped out the titan Fall multiplayer and just released it. 211 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.879 I bet these days that thing would pop off so hard. 212 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.360 I mean it's like if they could just do like 213 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.080 Titan Fall one and two remaster and really, you know, 214 00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:34.000 those games are mostly just multiplayer. I mean, Titan Paull 215 00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:37.240 two obviously had an incredible campaign, but you remaster that 216 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.600 too and like give people a reason to come back 217 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:41.840 to it, and then you say, like, no, yeah, we 218 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.200 are basically remaking those games, but let's spruce up the multiplayer, 219 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.720 maybe combine the best ideas of both of the multiplayer 220 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.879 modes and say we're going to support this going forward. 221 00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:53.120 I think you're right, that is something that could work 222 00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:54.080 really well right now. 223 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:55.159 I would love to see that. 224 00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:58.960 Or just make Time Fall three. I would kill the 225 00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:01.279 next five Battle of B Battlefield games for a tit 226 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.639 On four three. Yep, Like if that was my like 227 00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:06.519 deal with the Devil at one hundred percent to. 228 00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:08.559 It, Yep, I'm with you on that. 229 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:13.000 Actually yeah, but uh Ea, it just seems like they are, 230 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:17.120 you know, slowly peeling back from like fully just giving 231 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:20.480 free reign to respawn. Respond of course, has had a 232 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:23.279 lot of a key talent move on a lot of 233 00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:25.720 people with stock that has vested that they are taking 234 00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:27.000 and starting new studios with. 235 00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:29.879 The only way Titan four three gets made at EA 236 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.200 is if Joseph Ferris says he's doing something in it. 237 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:35.799 Because somehow he's got the keys to that kingdom, he 238 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:38.039 can do whatever the fuck he wants because he's popping 239 00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:38.679 off Lea France. 240 00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:42.399 And that's why I would redoing twenty dollars with it. Yea, yeah, 241 00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:43.200 they like that a lot. 242 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:45.759 That's what I would be doing strategically as a respond 243 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:49.600 I'd be like, you know, executive produced by Joseph Ferris, 244 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:50.639 and then they'd have to be. 245 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:52.919 Like the final way I have to do this your 246 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:55.759 statue like, yeah, Titan just just like kicking an Oscar 247 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:56.679 statue in the nards. 248 00:10:57.159 --> 00:10:58.600 Yeah, I would like that. 249 00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:04.360 Uh yeah, I I You know, people really hold a torch? 250 00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:08.399 Is that the same carrying a torch and carry yeah candle? 251 00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:09.000 Is that what it is? 252 00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:13.279 They carry a candle for a Titan Fall three and 253 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.320 hope that like something will happen there. But you know, 254 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.759 there's just no good news, not really not when it 255 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:21.480 comes to that franchise, And I apologize that that continues 256 00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:22.840 to be the way it is. 257 00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:25.840 You sit right down next to the hollow night people, 258 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:28.840 and you've been the blood Bone people and you shut up. 259 00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:30.399 Yep, you get get in line. 260 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:34.759 Honestly, Apex Legends is kind of their kind of returning 261 00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:40.039 focused Apex Legends. After previously uh thinking that they were 262 00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:42.080 going to slowly wind that game down over the course 263 00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:44.759 of the next five years or so, they have changed 264 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:46.879 their tune on that a little bit. When speaking to investors, 265 00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:49.960 at least, tam what did they What can they do? 266 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:52.240 I mean, obviously my answer would be like, yeah, bring 267 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:55.120 in more Titan Fall stuff, bringing Titans into Apex Legends. 268 00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:58.159 That would get me excited. Probably, what else can they 269 00:11:58.200 --> 00:11:58.600 do with it? 270 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.039 Why is this technical game making? Because it is that 271 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:03.960 I'm I'm gonna be very naive here and say, like, 272 00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:06.960 surely they're making a time fold tile based tactical game 273 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.039 in the vein of like FTL or something like that. 274 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:12.720 Right, what ship? Damn? Why do you got to say 275 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:14.200 things like that? Exit tiles? 276 00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:20.480 It's not that I don't understand why, Like I some 277 00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:23.080 dumb ass like me can come up with ideas that 278 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.919 are actually good just off the cuff, while these people 279 00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:29.440 who are professionally paid to do it at executive levels aren't. 280 00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:32.279 Just like, why do you do this because that seems 281 00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:33.720 like a good idea. 282 00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:36.639 Yeah, that is a really good idea, and I would give. 283 00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:38.879 Me, give me the executive money, right And I was 284 00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:41.399 just sitting a road check. You just every time you 285 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:43.320 open the door and stick your head and I'll give 286 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:45.600 you an idea that's a banger, and then you just 287 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.039 close the door and that's it. Every time you want 288 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:52.120 to pop ahead in where you got turn based FTL, 289 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:55.039 but time fall close the door? How was that not banging? 290 00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:57.799 Yeah?

It is Uh 293 00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:07.600 it's a Star Wars tactics game. 294 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:12.480 Uh ah, I knew you. Yep, that's it. 295 00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:17.360 That's the same that's they're gonna That's it is a 296 00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:19.639 shame that like this team that did have titan Fall 297 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:21.519 has to like go through Star Wars and get some 298 00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:22.000 stuff made. 299 00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:22.559 Hate. 300 00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:23.559 I hate that, man. 301 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:27.600 Yeah, I think those Jedi games are someone who is 302 00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:29.399 like a huge Star Wars fan, they crush it with. 303 00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:30.120 Those Jedi games. 304 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.519 It's just so I'm also a huge Respawn fan kind 305 00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:35.399 of want them to be able to do whatever they 306 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.320 want issue and that is not happening now. 307 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.120 No. I hate that this talented team has to attach 308 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.320 everything they do through Star Wars because stal Wars is 309 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.519 at like the peak of mediocrity right now, so it's 310 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:51.799 not like prestigious anymore. It's just like we need another 311 00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:54.480 bag of popcorn from the popcorn factory. 312 00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:58.600 It's great if the people making it don't really care. 313 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:00.600 I mean, you know, and or aside people making it 314 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:04.320 don't really care, and I including you. 315 00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:06.240 Can included and you're completely wrong. It's the best TV 316 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:07.039 show ever made, but. 317 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:11.600 It's insane as the animated series and. 318 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.879 Well I'm not counting Batman. Come on. 319 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:20.320 Yeah, Hey, I hope Respond can make things make sense. 320 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:23.120 I hope that that's Steve Kuda game comes out. That's hey, 321 00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:26.200 that's a I like the way Respond does things. There 322 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:28.240 was a time there where EA was like everyone should 323 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.120 work like a Respond underneath us. Vincipella, you're in charge 324 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:32.879 of a whole bunch of shit now because we like 325 00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:35.279 the way you did things over Respond and that never 326 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.639 really manifested. Ben Sampala is still in charge of like 327 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:39.600 Battlefield now, and he's it seems like it's a full 328 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:42.960 time job, rescuing that I'm of the personal opinion that boy, 329 00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:44.600 I don't know if that's worth it to me because 330 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:46.879 I just have never truly loved Battlefield. 331 00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:50.320 But I think hardline notoriously you love Oh yeah, you 332 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:51.679 just got you know, go cops. 333 00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:52.600 That's what I'm always saying. 334 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:56.720 I uh think that I get well, I get that 335 00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:59.159 EA likes Battlefield because at one point it did print 336 00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:01.399 money for them, not as not Call of Duty print money, 337 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:02.639 but it did make a lot of money for them, 338 00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:03.519 and they want that back. 339 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:08.799 So whatever I feel like Boulefield is the is that 340 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:12.200 sports team that out of nowhere had like a year 341 00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:16.000 where weird shit happened and they somehow almost made it 342 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.679 to the finals, and that it was a pure cosmic 343 00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:22.840 fluke and everyone knows it except for the people behind 344 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:25.639 that team, who believed that it was a sign of 345 00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:29.519 pure like genuine skill and strategy and they've been trying 346 00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:32.480 to get back into the finals since then, but they 347 00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:35.759 just don't know that it was luck. Yep, that is 348 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:36.720 Bowlefield in Call. 349 00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:39.000 Of Duty like Minnesota Vikings. 350 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:42.799 Yeah you had your moment, it was you almost did it, 351 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:47.240 but that was it. Your time has passed. Now you've 352 00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:49.600 got to stop trying to chase that man. They're driving 353 00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:50.279 it into the ground. 354 00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:52.799 Even like and even when they're good, like there's like 355 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:53.600 a rot in it. 356 00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:56.559 Like Battlefield of three or four, one of those was 357 00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:58.759 like really good and beloved, but it didn't work for 358 00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:01.159 like a year and a half because the network the 359 00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:04.360 net code was really bad, and people don't remember that. 360 00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:06.240 But I wrote a lot of stories about that game, 361 00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:08.279 and it was broke as hell, and it's. 362 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:09.840 Like, yeah, and this was the one that people love now. 363 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:13.480 So I always played Battlefield until inevitably, this happens with 364 00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:16.759 every game. I'll get killed by I'll die, and then 365 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:19.960 the kill count We'll just pan to a tree across 366 00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:21.919 the map and I'll just be like, oh great, I 367 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:24.440 had no fucking idea. There was a tree across the 368 00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:26.600 map with a dude in it, and he killed me. 369 00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:28.639 I'm out, I'm under the start in this game. 370 00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:29.480 Yep. Yeah. 371 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:31.799 And then I guess I'll try one more time and 372 00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:34.200 run for five minutes to get killed immediately the second 373 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:34.919 I see an enemy. 374 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:39.759 All right, yeah, I get it. Skill issue, Okay. Next story. 375 00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:43.879 Mario Day begins early with two new Nintendo Switch Online Games. 376 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:46.480 This is from Chris going in at VGC. Nintendo has 377 00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:49.000 added two more Game Boy games to its Switch Online 378 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:53.519 retro library. Donkey Kong and Mario's Pitcross have both been 379 00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:56.279 added to the Game Boy app to celebrate the upcoming 380 00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:59.159 Mario Day, which is on March tenth, because mar One 381 00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:00.799 zero kind of looks like Mario. 382 00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:04.000 Donkey Kong is Donkey Kong ninety four as it's. 383 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:07.359 Colloquial colloquially referred to as because it came out in 384 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:09.200 ninety four, and it's very different from Donkey Kung even 385 00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:11.640 though it presents itself as the Donkey Kong ar Kid game. 386 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:14.119 At first, it's one of the best puzzle platformers ever. 387 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:16.799 It's really really fantastic. And then pick Ross is Pitcross. 388 00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:19.839 Mario pick Ross is very good. You know, if I 389 00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:21.799 were to tell you to go play anyone Pick Ross game, 390 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:22.799 it probably wouldn't be this one. 391 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:24.519 But there's nothing wrong with this one. It's also good. 392 00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:28.240 So this is probably the extent of what happens for 393 00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:30.400 Mario Day, right tim Maybe they have like some other 394 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:32.799 like because they've alread announced the Mario Wonder Bundle for 395 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:36.079 the Switch O lead. These things have kind of been preceded, 396 00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:38.319 and I'm not expecting them to come on Mario Day 397 00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:40.920 and be like, here's a ton of other stuff happening, 398 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:42.640 And it feels like they got to kind of keep 399 00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:44.920 it low key because they got the switch to happening. 400 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.000 What if they just put out like an old school 401 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:51.640
