For sure. I do you respect that? 548 00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:23.519 That's that sort of descriptor my man's got away with words. 549 00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:25.160 It's nice, it's it's weird. 550 00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:27.200 It's like there's a Goldilock zone, right cause there's the 551 00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:31.200 people who hear that there's something invisible that they can't see, 552 00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:34.480 and then that's the scariest thing imaginable five g wi fi. 553 00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:37.359 And then there's people who like can't see something so 554 00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:40.599 it's not real. It's like germs or whatever, or gravity. 555 00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:42.279 And it's like you kind of have to be in 556 00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:44.960 the sweet spot where it's like I mostly trust these 557 00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:48.119 things that I are congruent with the way I live 558 00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:50.519 my life. And also some of these things sound weird, 559 00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:52.559 but I trust that I don't know everything. I'm just 560 00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:54.279 gonna I guess most of you just have to ignore 561 00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:56.519 things because if you start thinking about it too much, 562 00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:58.759 you almost neverbly either end up here or you have 563 00:27:58.839 --> 00:28:00.720 to become an actual expert, and no one has the 564 00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:01.519 energy to do that. 565 00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:02.599 Yeah. 566 00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:06.920 Yeah, I think it's harder work to get yourself out 567 00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:07.519 of your place. 568 00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:09.440 Germans aren't visible to be. 569 00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:13.119 I don't believe in the German people, do you know 570 00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:15.960 what I mean? Like, I think it's harder work. I 571 00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:19.359 think you have to, yeah, put up a harder defense 572 00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:22.079 because you right. 573 00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:25.240 Like because back it takes so much more effort to think. 574 00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:29.799 Yeah. But yeah, but there is thinking about but it's 575 00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:33.799 thinking about subversion. It's like, how do I block out 576 00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:37.680 the very like critically clear thing in front of me 577 00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:40.000 and then pivot into a way where like it fits 578 00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:42.960 with my sort of framework and my belief system. It's scary, 579 00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:45.759 it's really scary, And I guess it's moments like this 580 00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:49.240 where you're where you really are grounded and it's like 581 00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:52.920 a it's almost it's almost traumatic, you know, it's almost 582 00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:53.799 traumatic to have. 583 00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:56.519 The good news is is that we can probably exploit 584 00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:59.599 this fight or flight mechanism that people are feeling by 585 00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:03.519 pretty You've seen algorithms that keep them trapped in video 586 00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:06.000 content for hours at a time where they can sort 587 00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:10.119 of lose themselves to even deeper conspiracy theories. I think 588 00:29:10.119 --> 00:29:11.119 there's money to be made here. 589 00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:14.480 Guys. Hey, speaking about video content, we did release two 590 00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:18.039 vlogs over Thanksgiving break, all of us hanging out around 591 00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:21.799 in New York and then some leftovers.

I will let it sink and say a 693 00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:02.319 little bit here because I think, you know, I think 694 00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:03.839 I said like, oh, here's the Kingdom's better in Breath 695 00:34:03.839 --> 00:34:05.039 the Wild when it first came out, and now I've 696 00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:06.119 kind of gone back on it, so I'm going to 697 00:34:06.200 --> 00:34:08.920 sit before say anything like that. I will say it 698 00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:11.239 is definitely up there with the first one. It is 699 00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:14.519 much much better than two and three. I think two 700 00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:16.360 and three, you know, kind of had their side steps 701 00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:17.719 and stuff, which you know, I don't need to go 702 00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:19.719 into all that, but like I this one is the 703 00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:23.400 most similar to the first one, but also made me 704 00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:26.320 think of Ocarina of Time a lot, which was a 705 00:34:26.360 --> 00:34:28.440 thing that surprised me, mainly in the way that the 706 00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:30.880 I don't want to say overall, because I feel like 707 00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:31.679 when you say that now. 708 00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:34.480 That evokes like a breath the wild, huge open world map. 709 00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:37.199 This is not that it's I equated to highrol Field 710 00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:39.920 and Ocarina or it's like it's a space that is 711 00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:44.639 largely empty, connecting major zones, and there are some things there, 712 00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:48.159 some puzzles, a few shrines even, but ultimately it is 713 00:34:48.199 --> 00:34:49.719 a place that you were just kind of instead of 714 00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:51.960 writing Epina around from this place to that place, you 715 00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:56.199 were riding Viola around your sweet motorcycle that Sam's has, 716 00:34:56.800 --> 00:34:59.679 and each of these areas in a fury green vault 717 00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:00.800 for ice Belt. 718 00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:02.719 There's a lava one. 719 00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:04.760 I forget the name of it right now, but yeah, 720 00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:08.840 they are basically giant dungeons like you know, ok arena 721 00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:11.039 style dungeons. Basically you're going around, you're getting an item, 722 00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:13.880 you're fighting a boss. But you do have that Metroid 723 00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:17.599 backtracking here. But I've played through the first Metrod Prime 724 00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:21.400 twice in recent years, both the original version and remastered 725 00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:25.239 in recent years, and I always kind of forget when 726 00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:27.320 you go back like the tail end of Metroid Prime. 727 00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:28.800 As much as I love that game and think it's 728 00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:31.519 one of the best. Ever, some of that backtracking is 729 00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:34.360 not the best. It's easy to get a little bit 730 00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:36.320 lost and turned around, and it's kind of a pain 731 00:35:36.360 --> 00:35:37.519 in the ass to kind of work your way back 732 00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:40.039 the teleporter, the elevators and all that stuff. This one, 733 00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:43.119 the backtracking is more interesting in that, like you know, 734 00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:45.440 when you're volt Forge is one of the early areas 735 00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:48.079 and if you've ever seen images of like lightning and 736 00:35:48.199 --> 00:35:49.760 towers and stuff like that, I think it's the most 737 00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:52.679 visually striking area in the game. You know, the first 738 00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:54.199 time you're going through it, it's kind of this kind 739 00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:57.039 of almost dark, kind of spooky, like you're just kind 740 00:35:57.039 --> 00:36:00.079 of going through this like powered down lightning tower with 741 00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:00.880 enemies and stuff. 742 00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:01.559 It's kind of awesome. 743 00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:03.480 And then you know, you work your way down, you 744 00:36:03.639 --> 00:36:05.599 power it up, and then like you will eventually have 745 00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:07.159 to go back later as you're cleaning stuff up, and 746 00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:10.760 it's like just teeming with light and electricity and activity 747 00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:13.440 and it's just like it it feels different. So even 748 00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:15.960 when you are backtracking in this one, I do think 749 00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:20.199 it's more interesting. The thing that people were really worried 750 00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:24.400 about with the Miles McKenzie. Miles McKenzie it's not a 751 00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:24.800 big deal. 752 00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:25.280 It is not. 753 00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:28.480 I saw people even today after all the reviews came out, 754 00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:30.199 being like, oh, it's like it's God, He's gonna be 755 00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:31.519 NonStop radio chatter. 756 00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:32.159 It's not. 757 00:36:32.800 --> 00:36:36.159 Most of what he says, and especially the annoying stuff 758 00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:38.519 is the stuff that Backlar saw in that preview event 759 00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:40.400 and that everyone freaked out about, you know, a month 760 00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:43.239 or whatever ago. Yeah, he's a late like it is 761 00:36:43.559 --> 00:36:45.719 jarring and that like you see this title card of 762 00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:48.800 Fury Green, this area this kind of like Backlar, I 763 00:36:48.840 --> 00:36:51.400 think you said it was like Pandora and music kicks 764 00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:53.480 in and it's just incredible and the sweet title card 765 00:36:53.480 --> 00:36:56.559 and everything. It's just like, you know, it's it's classic Metroid. 766 00:36:56.679 --> 00:36:58.920 And then you got the guy saying like oh boo yeah, 767 00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:01.400 and you know it's like it's it is jarring for sure, 768 00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:03.920 and he sucks. And I hate that type of character 769 00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:07.719 more than anyone. But that part happens in the first hour. 770 00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:10.320 He goes back to like a little base station and 771 00:37:10.440 --> 00:37:12.760 he's just the dude where it's like, oh, you got 772 00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:15.960 a fire chip in this dungeon, and he's the guy 773 00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:17.320 that calls He's like, oh, hey, I can I can 774 00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:19.119 put that in your arm can and I can help 775 00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:20.960 you with that, come back here, and then it just 776 00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:22.360 kind of shows you a little pip on the map 777 00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:23.840 and you go do it and you're done with him. 778 00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:26.480 It's not he's not calling in all the time like 779 00:37:26.519 --> 00:37:30.159 he's the campbell or something in metal gear. And most importantly, 780 00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:32.760 it is not handholding. It is not doing the thing 781 00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:35.760 where it's saying like, hey, go here, go there. I 782 00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:37.960 was really worried a Vaultforge because when you first get there, 783 00:37:38.360 --> 00:37:40.320 he does pull up the map and he's like, hey, 784 00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:41.960 check this out here. Maybe if you go down here, 785 00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:43.679 here's the happening and you go down this thing here. 786 00:37:43.719 --> 00:37:45.760 I'm like, if he fucking does this every time I 787 00:37:45.880 --> 00:37:48.239 enter a new area, I'm gonna hate And he doesn't. 788 00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:51.519 He does not. So question I have for you, Dan, 789 00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:56.039 and maybe y'all can speak to this more because I 790 00:37:56.599 --> 00:38:01.320 never really played Meroi the original Metroid Prime growing up, 791 00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:05.280 but I've seen Dan, You've mentioned the operin of time 792 00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:09.079 influence and the Halo influence I've seen online as well. 793 00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:12.960 I don't know, does any of that does it feel 794 00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:17.239 like it dilutes whatever strong Metroid presence there is supposed 795 00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:18.840 to be okay, now cool. 796 00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:22.119 The Halo comparisons, I think people are just talking about 797 00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:24.199 that first hour. It's the stuff that Jan you and 798 00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:26.400 I saw in New York. You know, Backler, you probably 799 00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:28.159 played through that kind of like Halo Call of Duty 800 00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:31.199 almost opening, right, did you play the open years back? 801 00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:33.000 Yeah? Yeah, it's very much like. 802 00:38:33.119 --> 00:38:35.320 It reminds me that first E three trailer of a 803 00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:38.079 gameplay thing of Halo two, that Battle of Mambasa or whatever, 804 00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:40.599 where it's just like screaming and aliens and cannons and 805 00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:42.719 everything's you know, ship's coming in and there's a fucking 806 00:38:42.880 --> 00:38:44.559 mech and all this stuff, and it's like, that does 807 00:38:44.599 --> 00:38:46.840 not feel like Metroid. But that's just the setup to 808 00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:49.440 the story. It's just that thing happens. You're going to 809 00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:51.280 get this artifact thing and then you get warped to 810 00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:53.599 v Roast, which is the new area and everything, and 811 00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:56.440 that does have some characters that talk and things like that, 812 00:38:56.559 --> 00:38:58.800 and I guess that's what people have freaked out about. 813 00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:01.360 But it's not like other m It's not like this 814 00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:03.239 is the narrative Metroid or anything. 815 00:39:03.320 --> 00:39:03.360 Like. 816 00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:06.559 You do find like a crew member basically at each 817 00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:09.639 zone you go to, but it's basically you run into 818 00:39:09.719 --> 00:39:12.119 them and they're like, hey you Sam, it's okay, cool, Yeah, 819 00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:13.400 let's get it. Let's get out of here. And then 820 00:39:13.400 --> 00:39:14.800 they go back to the base station. And so you 821 00:39:14.920 --> 00:39:17.719 have like a ragtag group you're assembling throughout the game. 822 00:39:18.159 --> 00:39:20.400 But honestly, by the end, I liked them, and they 823 00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:23.119 don't get in the way of anything at all. They're 824 00:39:23.320 --> 00:39:26.199 just some Galactic Federation folks that you just kind of 825 00:39:26.239 --> 00:39:27.960 pick up along the way. There's a handful of them. 826 00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:28.920 It's not bad. 827 00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:32.760 They don't suddenly start like, oh, Miles McKenzie goes away, 828 00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:34.920 but now someone else is pointing you in the right direction. 829 00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:36.719 That sort of fades in the background. 830 00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:37.920 I don't think. 831 00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:41.480 I mean, there might be exceptions, but I think for 832 00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:43.239 the most part, Miles is the one who just kind 833 00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:46.440 of like calls you on your radio and you can 834 00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:47.760 call it when you go to the map. If you 835 00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:50.199 hit I think it's X, it's the radio button, and 836 00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:53.440 like anytime you're in a zone, it just straight up 837 00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:55.960 says like, hey, radio's disabled. You can't do it, so 838 00:39:56.039 --> 00:39:57.719 like you couldn't talk to them if you wanted to. 839 00:39:58.280 --> 00:39:59.840 It is basically just like if you are in the 840 00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:02.400 open world and you're just trying to figure out, like, man, 841 00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:04.480 where do I go? I just got this fire chip 842 00:40:04.519 --> 00:40:04.920 and my gun? 843 00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:05.880 Yeah, what can I do with this? 844 00:40:06.039 --> 00:40:07.480 Then you can call him and he might be like 845 00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:10.440 and he's kind of vague at times too. He'll be like, hey, 846 00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:12.159 you got a new thing. Maybe you should go back 847 00:40:12.199 --> 00:40:14.159 to some places you've been to before if you can 848 00:40:14.239 --> 00:40:16.119 do more stuff, you know, And then like you know, 849 00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:17.559 if you keep bugging him or you keep kind of 850 00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:20.880 idling around Soul Valley for a while, he might be like, hey, 851 00:40:21.159 --> 00:40:24.360 remember that fucking lava river over in the fireplace. Maybe 852 00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:25.559 you can go across that now, you know. 853 00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:28.880 It just sounds like another way of doing the question mark, 854 00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:32.239 like objective marker that would pop up after you spend 855 00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:35.400 enough time exploring a Metroid prime. They'd be like, okay, yeah, 856 00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:37.639 you've been going around. Now, hey we detected something, and 857 00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:41.599 this is just like vocalizing some of that. What percentage 858 00:40:41.639 --> 00:40:45.159 of the game is linear? My understanding is it's like 859 00:40:45.199 --> 00:40:47.599 a little bit linear early on and then opens up, 860 00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:49.519 Like at what point does it open up? How long 861 00:40:49.559 --> 00:40:50.840 were you playing? Do you agree with that? 862 00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:53.400 I was I was curious about that because like you 863 00:40:53.480 --> 00:40:56.639 need to get five mcguffin's basically these five teleporter keys, 864 00:40:56.679 --> 00:40:59.519 and by the time Soul Valley opens up like the desert, 865 00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:02.920 you've got two of them already. And then Miles does 866 00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:04.719 get on the radio and he's like, hey, there's three 867 00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:07.159 more keys. Go do them and whatever order you want. 868 00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:09.960 But I actually don't know if because that's the moment 869 00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:11.400 when I was like, Oh, this is gonna be breath 870 00:41:11.480 --> 00:41:12.920 the wild. Do I want to go here or there 871 00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:15.840 or that mountain or the mines or whatever. And then 872 00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:17.840 I did try to go because like he pointed me 873 00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:20.559 towards I think it was vault Fords at that point, 874 00:41:20.639 --> 00:41:22.000 or it might have been the ice place. He pointed 875 00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:24.119 me towards one of them, and I specifically wanted to 876 00:41:24.679 --> 00:41:26.840 go the other way. So I just basically found a 877 00:41:26.920 --> 00:41:28.960 big thing in the desert and rode my bike towards it, 878 00:41:29.400 --> 00:41:31.480 and I did hit a roadblock where it's like, I 879 00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:33.480 think that was the fire River I talked about where 880 00:41:33.480 --> 00:41:35.239 it's just like I got in there, I looked at 881 00:41:35.280 --> 00:41:37.199 this fire River and it was like, Hey, you can't 882 00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:38.840 do this right now. I think it might have been 883 00:41:38.840 --> 00:41:40.360 a pop up or something. If it wasn't Miles that 884 00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:44.000 called me, and so like, I it might actually be linear. 885 00:41:44.079 --> 00:41:45.800 I am going to play through it again, and I 886 00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:48.119 am curious if there is a way to do the 887 00:41:48.480 --> 00:41:51.360 dungeons or the zones out of order. But it seemed 888 00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:54.000 like you pretty much needed A to get to B 889 00:41:54.199 --> 00:41:54.559 every time. 890 00:41:54.639 --> 00:41:57.400 Well, but once you're in the zones, though, does that 891 00:41:57.639 --> 00:42:02.199 still feel like metrofusion metro dread to a certain extent, 892 00:42:02.320 --> 00:42:04.280 especially like once you complete an area, they're like, let's 893 00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:06.880 we're gonna like basically guide you out of here. 894 00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:08.920 How much of that is there? 895 00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:10.920 Like how many times do you feel like I really 896 00:42:10.960 --> 00:42:13.119 can only go forward even though I'm in this space now? 897 00:42:13.239 --> 00:42:16.280 That is technically kind of an open Metroidvanu style exploration. 898 00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:20.800 These areas are different in that, like every one of 899 00:42:20.840 --> 00:42:23.199 them you go into and you know, before you get 900 00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:25.159 the map, you'll basically see the map, you'll see the 901 00:42:25.320 --> 00:42:27.760 rooms you've been in, and then it'll like pan down 902 00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:30.320 in a metro Prime style and show you like, hey, 903 00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:32.679 here's this big, obvious like bossroom or whatever you need 904 00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:34.639 to get to and you got to kind of figure 905 00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:37.079 out how to get down. And some of these areas 906 00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:40.079 are more like, okay, well there's this obvious area like 907 00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:42.239 the mines are like, okay, there's I'm just going down, 908 00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:44.199 That's what I'm doing here. But then there's stuff like 909 00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:47.159 Vault Forage, which is like three separate towers and you're 910 00:42:47.239 --> 00:42:48.920 kind of like, you know, you're trying to power these 911 00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:52.599 up and you are going between all three towers trying 912 00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:54.159 to work your way around. And then there are ways 913 00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:56.159 you unlock where it's like, oh, here's an easier way 914 00:42:56.239 --> 00:42:58.400 to get from Tower one to Tower two. And then 915 00:42:58.480 --> 00:43:00.559 oh I unlocked this thing at the bottom, and now 916 00:43:00.599 --> 00:43:03.039 it's almost like a Dark Souls type you know, shortcut 917 00:43:03.079 --> 00:43:05.199 thing wh'res like, now there's this like morphball elevator I 918 00:43:05.239 --> 00:43:06.599 can just hop into and that'll take me right to 919 00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:09.920 the top. So they are I would not call them linear. 920 00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:13.320 Some are more open than others, but they all are 921 00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:16.440 any room you're in, you know, it could be like, okay, 922 00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:17.960 well there's two different doors here. I bet one of 923 00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:20.159 them is a save room. Okay, there's a crumbly thing 924 00:43:20.239 --> 00:43:21.920 right there. I can probably blow that up later. And 925 00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:23.840 then there's gonna be a morphball you know, thing I 926 00:43:23.880 --> 00:43:25.719 can go through and who knows where that sends me. 927 00:43:26.199 --> 00:43:30.039 So it's any given room. It's not like, Okay, I'm 928 00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:31.920 just going to go towards where an arrow's point to me. 929 00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:34.360 It's you know, there is a certain amount of openness 930 00:43:34.840 --> 00:43:36.519 without being overwhelming, you. 931 00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:40.760 Know, performance wise, Dan, like, oh god, it looks incredible. 932 00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:42.320 It is just wild. 933 00:43:42.400 --> 00:43:44.679 How fucking good this game looks, not handheld with the 934 00:43:44.880 --> 00:43:47.320 one twenty and then the four K on the TV. 935 00:43:47.480 --> 00:43:51.199 I'm mainly played on TV, but oh god, it's it's 936 00:43:51.559 --> 00:43:55.119 the most gorgeous, like maybe most gorgeous Nintendo game ever, 937 00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:58.920 but definitely the best looking game on the console. Yeah, 938 00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:00.719 and thens as well. 939 00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:05.119 I really really like the gyroscopic controls with the pro controller. 940 00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:06.440 And like, I would recommend anyone go in there and 941 00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:09.280 tweak certain settings and stuff because there are certain things 942 00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:11.039 where it's like the motion does feel gimmicky, like you 943 00:44:11.079 --> 00:44:12.679 get this kind of like grapple thing that can pull 944 00:44:12.760 --> 00:44:14.559 shields off, and like I don't need to yank the 945 00:44:14.599 --> 00:44:18.440 controller every time. But the way Metroid Prime Aiming works 946 00:44:18.480 --> 00:44:20.400 where it's like from the beginning, it's like you hold 947 00:44:20.440 --> 00:44:22.119 in the left trigger and it kind of locks on 948 00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:24.159 to a character and you can kind of strafe around 949 00:44:24.199 --> 00:44:27.119 them and everything. A lot of these characters have weak 950 00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:29.400 spots all over their bodies, or it's better to shoot 951 00:44:29.440 --> 00:44:31.679 their limbs and things like that. So you lock on 952 00:44:31.800 --> 00:44:33.559 with the left trigger, and while you're holding that, you 953 00:44:33.679 --> 00:44:35.840 can kind of set the threshold that you like that 954 00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:38.280 will cause the radical to kind of break off of 955 00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:40.320 the main lock, if that makes sense, and then you 956 00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:42.480 can just kind of do slight little motions like boom boom, 957 00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:45.239 boom bo boom, hit the limbs there while still remaining 958 00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:47.639 locked on, so you can strafe and navigate around him 959 00:44:47.639 --> 00:44:51.519 and everything. It works incredibly well. So I did that handheld, 960 00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:54.719 I did the mouse mode stuff, which I don't know. 961 00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:57.400 It's I think it's interesting that the switch to has 962 00:44:57.440 --> 00:44:59.559 a mouse mode. I mean mainly one of for stuff 963 00:44:59.559 --> 00:45:02.519 like Mario Maker, you know, but for this, you know. 964 00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:04.320 Jan and I went to that New York event and 965 00:45:04.360 --> 00:45:06.880 they had the giant flat surface in front of me, 966 00:45:06.920 --> 00:45:08.559 which is like the most no one has something like 967 00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:11.079 that at home, basically in front of their TV. And 968 00:45:11.440 --> 00:45:14.199 it works fine there. I tried it here on the couch. 969 00:45:14.360 --> 00:45:15.719 I tried it on my leg. I tried it on 970 00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:18.199 the couch. I brought an actual like couch mousepad down. 971 00:45:18.480 --> 00:45:19.960 I sat on the floor and put it on like 972 00:45:20.039 --> 00:45:21.880 a table in front of me and stuff, and it 973 00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:24.920 really didn't do anything that the gyroscopic controls didn't do better. 974 00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:26.760 And whether you're playing with the pro controller, the joy 975 00:45:26.840 --> 00:45:30.519 Comes or handheld, you're gonna have access to those gyroscopic controls, 976 00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:33.440 so highly highly recommend turning those on tweaking them. 977 00:45:33.519 --> 00:45:36.199 You're liking. I thought it felt great. I am very 978 00:45:36.440 --> 00:45:39.360 curious and excited to check Metroid Prime for Beyond out 979 00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:43.440 as kind of a novice to the series. Any other 980 00:45:43.519 --> 00:45:46.360 closing thoughts, y'all about Metroid before we move on. 981 00:45:47.519 --> 00:45:49.440 I'm ready to play it. It's so, you know, the 982 00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:52.760 reviews are all over the place. I'm The more I 983 00:45:52.840 --> 00:45:54.800 read them, though, the more it's like, oh, I this 984 00:45:54.960 --> 00:45:56.960 is not going to be a problem for me. It's 985 00:45:57.039 --> 00:45:59.480 not what I was expecting. Or I'm kind of okay 986 00:45:59.519 --> 00:46:02.519 with this game what it is, so still have pretty 987 00:46:02.559 --> 00:46:05.400 high hopes. But we'll see. I'm glad, I'm damn glad 988 00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:06.760 you like it. That was it was kind of fun 989 00:46:06.800 --> 00:46:08.800 to like follow your journey of you getting it and 990 00:46:08.840 --> 00:46:11.320 then having early thoughts and kind of getting near the 991 00:46:11.480 --> 00:46:13.239 end and thinking you liked it quite a bit, and 992 00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:15.119 then coming around on it like in a huge way 993 00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:17.920 at the end five star review. That's it's good stuff. 994 00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:20.519 People should go read that review. It's it really is 995 00:46:20.639 --> 00:46:21.280 very insightful. 996 00:46:21.760 --> 00:46:23.559 Yeah, I thought it was interesting too, Like just today 997 00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:26.159 the embargo left and seeing everyone's and I don't see 998 00:46:26.199 --> 00:46:28.159 a lot of arguments that I like wholly like you know, 999 00:46:28.199 --> 00:46:29.920 I don't oh your way off base or whatever, Like 1000 00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:32.320 I think just certain aspects of this game people are 1001 00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:34.159 gonna like more than others. And it all really worked 1002 00:46:34.199 --> 00:46:36.800 for me. But yeah, some of the stuff for people 1003 00:46:36.800 --> 00:46:37.159 the wrong way. 1004 00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:37.480 I get it. 1005 00:46:37.519 --> 00:46:39.800 So it's I mean, read the reviews, see what you think. 1006 00:46:39.840 --> 00:46:41.679 But I'm in the camp that very much loved it. 1007 00:46:42.360 --> 00:46:45.599 Yep. It's like I really I don't see anything in 1008 00:46:45.639 --> 00:46:48.719 the reviews where it's like anything that you didn't say. 1009 00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:50.880 It is just how much it's going to bother you. 1010 00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:52.840 So I was like kind of like scouring, like trying 1011 00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:54.639 to find like what is the thing that is turning 1012 00:46:54.719 --> 00:46:55.599 some people off so much? 1013 00:46:55.679 --> 00:46:58.039 And there's no like negative reviews. There's just there's just 1014 00:46:58.119 --> 00:47:00.440 some mixed reviews and it's like all things you said, 1015 00:47:00.480 --> 00:47:02.280 and some people it's like it's just getting to them 1016 00:47:02.480 --> 00:47:05.039 a little bit more, and I get I get wanting 1017 00:47:05.079 --> 00:47:07.800 the very pure Metroid Prime experience. I especially get it 1018 00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:10.679 now in a world where we've had from soft games 1019 00:47:10.719 --> 00:47:14.079 that are obtuse, and we just had a Silk Song 1020 00:47:14.159 --> 00:47:18.000 which is obtuse and isolating and weird. It's like, these 1021 00:47:18.039 --> 00:47:21.000 games obviously can work. So if METROI Prime went more 1022 00:47:21.039 --> 00:47:23.400 in that direction, I think it would be mostly just 1023 00:47:23.480 --> 00:47:25.639 fine as long as they made a good game. But 1024 00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:28.079 them also trying to make things a little bit friendlier 1025 00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:30.800 and feel like a little bit more bombastic and sci fi, 1026 00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:32.079 that can work as well. 1027 00:47:32.239 --> 00:47:34.000 So I do want to bring this up real quick. 1028 00:47:34.159 --> 00:47:36.760 Somebody said here that Logan at ign said he was 1029 00:47:36.800 --> 00:47:40.280 bothered by tropy dialogue, and so, yeah, I have seen 1030 00:47:40.320 --> 00:47:42.239 some complaints about the story and stuff, and listen, I 1031 00:47:42.320 --> 00:47:44.679 will sir. I will say right here that you know 1032 00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:46.679 that I'm not a story person in games, and so 1033 00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:49.119 like as much as I loved this game, I would 1034 00:47:49.159 --> 00:47:51.679 say like zero percent of that is the story. Like 1035 00:47:51.719 --> 00:47:53.920 I did come around on those characters. I found them 1036 00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:56.719 likable by the end, But I mean the story, if 1037 00:47:56.760 --> 00:47:58.639 that's the type thing that bothers you, it's straight up 1038 00:47:58.760 --> 00:48:00.159 is like you got warp to an ail. I mean 1039 00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:02.320 playing it, find five things and go home. It's that, 1040 00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:05.119 don't if you're looking for something deeper than that, Like, 1041 00:48:05.440 --> 00:48:06.800 I don't know, that is kind of what I want 1042 00:48:06.800 --> 00:48:08.199 from a Metroid game. I just kind of want to 1043 00:48:08.199 --> 00:48:09.960 give me the loosest thread of like go do this 1044 00:48:10.039 --> 00:48:11.760 stuff and then beat the game, beat the final boss. 1045 00:48:12.119 --> 00:48:15.079 I mean I don't want other m. There's a reason 1046 00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:16.880 I did the other M was just sure, you know, 1047 00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:19.360 I don't need a bunch of story in my Metroid basically, 1048 00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:20.760 is there to bother me at all? 1049 00:48:21.039 --> 00:48:23.880 Is there stuff like Codex or like audio Lugus, Yes, 1050 00:48:23.920 --> 00:48:24.159 at all. 1051 00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:25.760 So if you want to dig deep into like the 1052 00:48:25.800 --> 00:48:27.599 lore and everything like that, there's all sorts of like 1053 00:48:27.679 --> 00:48:31.440 there's there's spooky ghost alien priests, and there's you know, like, 1054 00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:33.639 oh what happened to these this an ancient race of 1055 00:48:33.800 --> 00:48:35.760 ghosts or whatever, and a bunch of log books you 1056 00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:38.119 can read. I I scanned every fucking thing I saw. 1057 00:48:38.199 --> 00:48:40.599 I read everything I saw. It's just you can go 1058 00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:41.960 deep on that stuff if you want to. 1059 00:48:42.079 --> 00:48:45.000 Me. It's just, you know, it's just kind of background stuff. 1060 00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:48.719 I've only played a baby's handful of Metroid games. I 1061 00:48:48.800 --> 00:48:51.960 think the last one before, I mean, I'm excited check 1062 00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:55.599 out Prime four, but was a Metroid dread the way 1063 00:48:55.679 --> 00:48:58.639 that everyone talks about other M. I really want to 1064 00:48:58.719 --> 00:49:00.000 check out other M now. 1065 00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:03.400 It's worth checking out just to see how insane it is, 1066 00:49:03.760 --> 00:49:05.280 Like with what they did with that story in the 1067 00:49:05.360 --> 00:49:07.280 character Sam, it's weird. 1068 00:49:07.360 --> 00:49:09.599 Do y'all think that is kind of like the equivalent 1069 00:49:09.679 --> 00:49:12.559 of telling someone like, no, you should watch episode one 1070 00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:14.840 first before you actually check out. 1071 00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:17.000 Worse than that, I think there's more likable elements to 1072 00:49:17.079 --> 00:49:21.519 that episode one. Okay, okay, all right, all right, well Dan, 1073 00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:22.320 thank you very much. 1074 00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:25.320 Again. There is a written review on the website. Dan 1075 00:49:25.400 --> 00:49:29.320 wrote that, and as well as a little roundtable discussion 1076 00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:31.840 Q and a bit that Sean edited together that is 1077 00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:35.000 now on YouTube. But moving on with video games. 1078 00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:36.800 All right, right, I just see a common saying the 1079 00:49:36.840 --> 00:49:39.960 only story I went is Ancient Alien Race makes Samos 1080 00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:42.039 a god? Play Matroid Prime four. 1081 00:49:42.519 --> 00:49:42.960 You're good? 1082 00:49:43.119 --> 00:49:48.559 Yeah, exactly. I checked out yesterday a game that has 1083 00:49:48.639 --> 00:49:51.960 been blowing up on Steam speaking about gigantic open worlds 1084 00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:53.559 where the winds meet. 1085 00:49:54.440 --> 00:49:54.800 This is. 1086 00:49:56.559 --> 00:50:01.280 A game, an open world game, kind of a Soul's 1087 00:50:01.440 --> 00:50:06.679 like Jimmy Jam set in ancient China. I don't know 1088 00:50:06.760 --> 00:50:09.840 what to make of this because it frames itself as 1089 00:50:10.679 --> 00:50:13.239 kind of like a Soul's like game. The opening is 1090 00:50:13.400 --> 00:50:17.880 very dramatic, opens with a quick time sequence a chase 1091 00:50:17.960 --> 00:50:20.960 on a horse where you're protecting a baby. So I thought, oh, 1092 00:50:21.079 --> 00:50:23.519 is this gonna be like death Stranding where I'm protecting 1093 00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:27.599 a baby but in China. But no, you quickly grow 1094 00:50:27.719 --> 00:50:30.880 up and then you wind up becoming the baby you 1095 00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:37.039 were protecting. And the combat is kind of Souls like 1096 00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:41.320 kind of action adventure ish so's there's moments where it 1097 00:50:41.400 --> 00:50:45.360 reminds me of like Stellar Blade or Bayonetta, but it 1098 00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:49.360 has like the stagger and stamina and like the posture 1099 00:50:49.679 --> 00:50:53.559 for enemies like a Soul's game would. But because I 1100 00:50:53.639 --> 00:50:56.079 think Where the Winds Meet is supposed to appeal to 1101 00:50:56.920 --> 00:50:59.119 as big of an audience as popular and I've looked 1102 00:50:59.159 --> 00:51:02.079 at the Steam numbers, this game is doing gangbusters online. 1103 00:51:02.239 --> 00:51:03.239 It's doing very well. 1104 00:51:03.360 --> 00:51:08.960 Yeah, there are some like built in accessibility features that 1105 00:51:09.039 --> 00:51:12.760 I kind of enjoy, like you can parry in this game, 1106 00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:14.440 or you can dodge, roll out of the way, you 1107 00:51:14.480 --> 00:51:17.480 can block. But the thing that this game will give 1108 00:51:17.519 --> 00:51:20.639 you if you enable the feature, is like just just 1109 00:51:20.679 --> 00:51:22.960 straight up like here's the bun to press. When you 1110 00:51:23.039 --> 00:51:26.280 got a perry, I'm gonna slow down almost to a 1111 00:51:26.400 --> 00:51:29.000 full stop so you can parry this game. And that 1112 00:51:29.199 --> 00:51:31.960 is treated with your posture meter or your stamina meter, 1113 00:51:32.119 --> 00:51:37.079 so if you aren't nailing the perry yourself, the game 1114 00:51:37.079 --> 00:51:40.119 will just be like here it is, dude, you're good, 1115 00:51:40.159 --> 00:51:42.639 You're good? No, okay, cool, and that'll just take off 1116 00:51:42.719 --> 00:51:45.239 like a little pip on your stamina meter. The part 1117 00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:48.440 where I am a little bit overwhelmed by the game 1118 00:51:48.639 --> 00:51:51.199 is that because it is a free to play game, 1119 00:51:51.480 --> 00:51:56.039 it is also online. If you enable it, you can 1120 00:51:56.119 --> 00:51:58.880 do co op throughout the story with friends, and I 1121 00:51:58.960 --> 00:52:01.519 believe it's cross platform, so you can if someone has 1122 00:52:01.559 --> 00:52:02.920 this on the PS five, you can go play with 1123 00:52:03.000 --> 00:52:03.320 them there. 1124 00:52:04.159 --> 00:52:06.320 Like should I be thinking like Monster Hunter? 1125 00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:10.400 I would kind of kind of like, yeah, a combination 1126 00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:13.119 of Monster Hunter, a soul's game, and an action adventure 1127 00:52:13.159 --> 00:52:16.960 game is where the wins meat is. But there's just 1128 00:52:17.280 --> 00:52:19.400 as soon as the world starts to open up and 1129 00:52:19.480 --> 00:52:22.119 I maybe like three or four hours in, there are 1130 00:52:22.280 --> 00:52:25.039 so many pips on the map and it just feels 1131 00:52:25.119 --> 00:52:28.239 like Matt Barf. But I can see where this becomes 1132 00:52:28.280 --> 00:52:30.719 someone's game for an extended period of time because you 1133 00:52:30.760 --> 00:52:33.079 were trying to just tick off all of the boxes. 1134 00:52:33.400 --> 00:52:35.280 And on top of that, the combat does feel good. 1135 00:52:36.159 --> 00:52:38.760 You don't feel like you were but banging your head 1136 00:52:39.679 --> 00:52:41.880 constantly failing at a boss like you would in some 1137 00:52:42.039 --> 00:52:45.239 Souls games. And I understand that isn't for everyone, but 1138 00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:48.480 it definitely feels like, Oh, I can mash out a 1139 00:52:48.519 --> 00:52:51.639 button and then block and then Perry Doddrell out of 1140 00:52:51.679 --> 00:52:55.119 the way and have an enjoyable time. What I will 1141 00:52:55.199 --> 00:52:58.519 say is this game did I did something in this 1142 00:52:58.599 --> 00:53:01.159 game that I've never done in another view game where 1143 00:53:01.960 --> 00:53:04.360 one of the first missions before you get the map 1144 00:53:04.599 --> 00:53:09.519 for Everything is there's a vendor that tells you, hey, 1145 00:53:10.360 --> 00:53:12.840 this bear over there, he took my shit, can you 1146 00:53:12.920 --> 00:53:18.079 go get it? And the game has you approach the 1147 00:53:18.159 --> 00:53:20.760 bear and then you have a quick time event where 1148 00:53:20.800 --> 00:53:24.840 you learn tai chi from the bear because the bear 1149 00:53:25.039 --> 00:53:28.760 is pawing at a tree. From the bear, you learn 1150 00:53:28.840 --> 00:53:30.559 it from observing the bear. So you have to do 1151 00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:34.039 a quick time event of like hitting timing out and 1152 00:53:34.159 --> 00:53:37.639 pressing a button when like a circle turns gold. Okay, 1153 00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:39.559 So you do that a couple of times, and then 1154 00:53:39.719 --> 00:53:43.320 you just get a gigantic message blasting over the screen 1155 00:53:43.360 --> 00:53:47.599 saying you learn taichi from this bear, and then it 1156 00:53:47.760 --> 00:53:51.159 becomes a martial art that you know forever now. And 1157 00:53:51.280 --> 00:53:55.760 then you do a taichi throw onto a giant brown 1158 00:53:55.880 --> 00:53:58.960 bear and throw it twenty feet into the air, and 1159 00:53:59.159 --> 00:54:01.840 I thought, oh man, this game's got the juice if 1160 00:54:01.880 --> 00:54:04.000 I learned how to do taichi from an animal? 1161 00:54:06.519 --> 00:54:08.199 Is that the tone of the game, like, it's kind 1162 00:54:08.239 --> 00:54:10.800 of someone in Chad said Yakuza, Like, yeah, does it 1163 00:54:10.920 --> 00:54:12.079 sometimes feel like Yakuza? 1164 00:54:12.280 --> 00:54:15.440 Yeah? I feel like this game is presented very, very seriously, 1165 00:54:15.960 --> 00:54:17.800 but as you were playing it, there is more than 1166 00:54:18.000 --> 00:54:22.480 enough Shenanigan's constantly happening around the map that makes you 1167 00:54:22.599 --> 00:54:25.079 feel like, okay, all right, they got a sense of humor. 1168 00:54:26.119 --> 00:54:29.079 The movement and like the error movement as well, kind 1169 00:54:29.119 --> 00:54:33.360 of reminds me of like Chinese wirework, okay films, So 1170 00:54:34.039 --> 00:54:36.280 it is definitely leaning on that influence for sure. I 1171 00:54:36.360 --> 00:54:38.840 believe it's like sure shot or something. Correct me if 1172 00:54:38.880 --> 00:54:40.719 I'm wrong everyone out there, but don't yell at me please. 1173 00:54:42.480 --> 00:54:44.920 The game looks gorgeous. This is one of those Jimmy 1174 00:54:45.000 --> 00:54:48.239 jams where I don't understand how and why this is 1175 00:54:48.320 --> 00:54:52.000 free to play slash, why this looks so good? 1176 00:54:52.360 --> 00:54:55.440 And wait, but how are they trying to get you 1177 00:54:55.519 --> 00:54:57.199 to spend money on this friendly game? 1178 00:54:57.920 --> 00:55:00.760 Chad is saying that apparently some one that has already 1179 00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:04.480 spent fifty dollars on a boat mount in the game, 1180 00:55:04.719 --> 00:55:06.480 so that might answer some of your questions. 1181 00:55:08.000 --> 00:55:11.159 Okay, I mean like in the three hours that I 1182 00:55:11.280 --> 00:55:15.840 was playing it, I wasn't really presented initially with anything 1183 00:55:15.920 --> 00:55:19.480 of like, well, now you've got to spend money. Brou So, 1184 00:55:19.760 --> 00:55:21.559 I don't know if this this is strictly on a 1185 00:55:21.639 --> 00:55:25.199 cosmetic level or if there's anything like that is like 1186 00:55:25.760 --> 00:55:29.199 pay to win part of this, because I can't I 1187 00:55:29.280 --> 00:55:32.559 don't know where that would affect the overall loop of 1188 00:55:32.639 --> 00:55:33.199 the gameplay. 1189 00:55:34.280 --> 00:55:36.159 So it sounds like cosmetics.

I feel like this is the kind of 1231 00:57:25.559 --> 00:57:27.599 thing that could come and eat its lunch and just 1232 00:57:27.639 --> 00:57:31.840 sort of replace that whole genre of big, massive setting 1233 00:57:32.039 --> 00:57:34.679 action of venture open world games with online functionality. 1234 00:57:35.159 --> 00:57:37.400 But we'll see egg on my face. The game is 1235 00:57:37.440 --> 00:57:40.719 where winds meet, not where the wins me apologies gag. 1236 00:57:41.960 --> 00:57:46.880 Speaking about meeting things, Jeff Grubb, you and Mike Manatti 1237 00:57:46.960 --> 00:57:50.559 met virtually to take down a bunch of space batties 1238 00:57:50.679 --> 00:57:52.320 in Marvel Cosmic Invasion. 1239 00:57:53.400 --> 00:57:55.760 Yeah, that's the new beat them up from Tribute. They 1240 00:57:55.840 --> 00:57:59.960 did that teenage mutant Ninja Turtles Shredder's Revenge game. 1241 00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:02.519 People like that quite a bit. I thought that was 1242 00:58:02.559 --> 00:58:04.079 a pretty good beat him up. It wasn't one of 1243 00:58:04.159 --> 00:58:04.719 my favorites. 1244 00:58:04.840 --> 00:58:07.960 Of this this new era that we're getting, this one 1245 00:58:08.039 --> 00:58:11.559 is improved, I think mostly the big thing there's excuse me. 1246 00:58:11.639 --> 00:58:15.679 You get a few more defensive options. So where you 1247 00:58:15.880 --> 00:58:19.159 could sort of do that dodge in Turtles and it 1248 00:58:19.239 --> 00:58:22.360 would it was not as not always effective. There was 1249 00:58:22.440 --> 00:58:24.159 kind of kind of felt like, now this is old 1250 00:58:24.199 --> 00:58:26.440 style beat him up. Sometimes you're just gonna get hit 1251 00:58:26.519 --> 00:58:28.760 no matter what. Here the dodge is a little bit 1252 00:58:28.800 --> 00:58:30.880 more effective. But there's also some characters that have a 1253 00:58:31.199 --> 00:58:33.239 straight up like shield or a block and that has 1254 00:58:33.280 --> 00:58:37.559 a Perry mechanic to it. Also, offense is a very 1255 00:58:37.599 --> 00:58:41.519 good defense here because any situation you're in there is 1256 00:58:41.719 --> 00:58:44.320 always another character that you can tag in it is 1257 00:58:44.400 --> 00:58:47.360 a tag beat him up. So you pick two characters 1258 00:58:47.400 --> 00:58:49.480 when you start a level. A lot of times when 1259 00:58:49.519 --> 00:58:52.400 you're going through the campaign, they'll there'll be two characters 1260 00:58:52.440 --> 00:58:55.079 flashing and those are like the story characters, and they 1261 00:58:55.079 --> 00:58:57.800 also have challenges associated within them in that level, so 1262 00:58:57.920 --> 00:58:59.679 you know to pick them and then you go. You 1263 00:58:59.760 --> 00:59:01.480 take the two characters in there. You play as one 1264 00:59:01.639 --> 00:59:04.519 at a time, but at any time if you are attacking, 1265 00:59:04.599 --> 00:59:06.960 so you're hitting light attack on X or heavy attack 1266 00:59:07.039 --> 00:59:09.480 on why while pressing that if you tap tap the 1267 00:59:09.599 --> 00:59:13.159 left bumper, your assist character will come in and either 1268 00:59:13.199 --> 00:59:15.840 perform their light attack or their heavy attack. Now, if 1269 00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:17.280 you're not doing an attack and you just hit the 1270 00:59:17.360 --> 00:59:20.679 left bumper, you'll fully swap the characters out. And this 1271 00:59:20.880 --> 00:59:24.079 is a it's really frantic and hectic. So it's like, 1272 00:59:24.159 --> 00:59:26.039 if you are it kind of feels like you should 1273 00:59:26.079 --> 00:59:29.159 be spamming those assists as much as possible because they 1274 00:59:29.480 --> 00:59:31.800 really amplify the amount of damage you can put out. 1275 00:59:31.960 --> 00:59:34.159 And it looks cool and it feels like, Okay, I'm 1276 00:59:34.239 --> 00:59:37.519 kind of very capable in any situation I find myself in. 1277 00:59:39.400 --> 00:59:42.639 As far as like, is this the spiritual successor to 1278 00:59:42.840 --> 00:59:45.320 the X Men arcade Beat them Up? That people want? 1279 00:59:45.639 --> 00:59:48.119 I think mostly, you know, it's it's not a direct 1280 00:59:48.360 --> 00:59:50.039 follow up to that. This is, you know, the whole 1281 00:59:50.119 --> 00:59:53.920 Marvel universe. They're taking a lot of influence from Marvel 1282 00:59:54.000 --> 00:59:55.960 versus Capcom, the Capcom Fighting Game. 1283 00:59:55.840 --> 00:59:57.159 Which I think is a good thing. 1284 00:59:57.320 --> 00:59:59.239 Yeah, a lot of the moves, a lot of the 1285 00:59:59.320 --> 01:00:01.639 looks of the character just feel like, Yeah, we played 1286 01:00:01.679 --> 01:00:03.679 that game and loved it, we want to replicate that here. 1287 01:00:03.679 --> 01:00:08.039 It even has the tag system and so it's like, yeah, 1288 01:00:08.239 --> 01:00:10.880 if you are into any of that stuff, or you 1289 01:00:11.159 --> 01:00:13.519 just have a fondness for that arcade game, or you'd 1290 01:00:13.599 --> 01:00:16.000 like Marvel stuff in general, it's going to hit really well. 1291 01:00:16.039 --> 01:00:17.559 But you're going to have to bring some of that 1292 01:00:17.840 --> 01:00:20.800 to this game. I think if you have no affinity 1293 01:00:21.000 --> 01:00:25.320 for either those old games or Marvel itself as a 1294 01:00:25.440 --> 01:00:30.039 as an entertainment industry or whatever, you will probably not 1295 01:00:30.199 --> 01:00:32.239 get enough out of this game to justify it's Again, 1296 01:00:32.239 --> 01:00:34.079 it's like twenty five thirty bucks or something like that. 1297 01:00:34.360 --> 01:00:37.199 So it's delivering for the people who it's meant for 1298 01:00:37.480 --> 01:00:37.920 for sure. 1299 01:00:38.079 --> 01:00:41.039 Grab to them doing this with all the old classic 1300 01:00:41.079 --> 01:00:43.280 you know, like Turtles, this like you know, that is 1301 01:00:43.360 --> 01:00:46.159 the genre that I think has most been hurt as 1302 01:00:46.199 --> 01:00:48.599 it moved from the arcade because they were just quarter monters, like. 1303 01:00:48.559 --> 01:00:50.280 One, let's figure it out. Now they've solved this, they 1304 01:00:50.360 --> 01:00:51.039 solve that problem. 1305 01:00:51.079 --> 01:00:53.039 I want them to bring it to Simpsons, especially now 1306 01:00:53.039 --> 01:00:55.360 that Simpsons A Fortnite had a bit of a gaming revival, 1307 01:00:55.360 --> 01:00:57.199 which by the way, I had multiple nights up til 1308 01:00:57.239 --> 01:01:00.559 four a m. Both getting myself and Kayla Homer, so 1309 01:01:00.840 --> 01:01:03.679 got Homer that battle passage. Ever, boy, that was the 1310 01:01:03.719 --> 01:01:06.719 most effective fucking marketing tie in thing ever because that 1311 01:01:06.800 --> 01:01:08.960 got me from not playing Fortnite in like two years 1312 01:01:09.000 --> 01:01:11.679 to completely getting into it again. But yes, I would 1313 01:01:11.679 --> 01:01:15.079 love to see a new Simpson's Arcade game. Uh they 1314 01:01:15.519 --> 01:01:17.159 treatment that Marvel got. 1315 01:01:17.039 --> 01:01:19.199 Here, Yeah, and it's uh, you know his first one 1316 01:01:19.320 --> 01:01:21.920 is that Simpson's Fortnite thing was. It's like, oh, I'm 1317 01:01:22.000 --> 01:01:24.119 kind of super bummed that it is a temporary thing. 1318 01:01:24.159 --> 01:01:26.239 It'll come back at some point, sure, but it's like, oh, 1319 01:01:26.320 --> 01:01:29.880 that's that awesome Simpsons game they made doesn't exist anymore, 1320 01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:32.000 I know. So it's I kind of want like some 1321 01:01:32.239 --> 01:01:34.519 permanent things, like a Simpsons Beat them Up that would 1322 01:01:34.519 --> 01:01:37.360 be awesome to have. At this point, I think that 1323 01:01:37.480 --> 01:01:39.079 this is a very good one. It is not as 1324 01:01:39.079 --> 01:01:40.679 good as Streets of Rage four. It's not as good 1325 01:01:40.679 --> 01:01:43.039 as like Absolum, Like go play Absolum instead if you 1326 01:01:43.079 --> 01:01:44.199 haven't played that this year. 1327 01:01:44.360 --> 01:01:46.119 We're gonna be around that one of these days. 1328 01:01:46.719 --> 01:01:48.480 Yeah, that's that's a good I think we could probably 1329 01:01:48.480 --> 01:01:49.239 beat that game in one go. 1330 01:01:49.400 --> 01:01:53.440 I think should stretch a bit before that then Okay, yeah. 1331 01:01:53.239 --> 01:01:56.599 And we'll see. But it's like right behind those like 1332 01:01:56.760 --> 01:01:59.440 leaders of the pack, and it's totally worthy of being 1333 01:01:59.480 --> 01:02:01.920 included in this new crop of beat him ups, the 1334 01:02:02.000 --> 01:02:03.320 sort of new golden era that we're in. 1335 01:02:04.679 --> 01:02:07.960 Grab. All the characters feel very distinct. There's like a 1336 01:02:08.000 --> 01:02:09.880 pretty big character pool. 1337 01:02:10.119 --> 01:02:12.960 I I a lot of what is it sixteen something 1338 01:02:13.000 --> 01:02:13.159 like that. 1339 01:02:13.719 --> 01:02:16.280 Yeah, but because you can pick two, it actually kind 1340 01:02:16.320 --> 01:02:18.360 of end up like you have four players. You end 1341 01:02:18.440 --> 01:02:20.480 up picking half the roster, right, because you need eight 1342 01:02:20.599 --> 01:02:23.880 characters total in there. So yeah's quo. 1343 01:02:24.159 --> 01:02:26.519 I can't help but notice there's there's just like a 1344 01:02:26.639 --> 01:02:28.920 distinct character from the X Men missing. No. 1345 01:02:29.159 --> 01:02:30.880 I think the guy everyone that really matters. 1346 01:02:31.119 --> 01:02:35.480 I think he joined Ice. Actually swear to god. 1347 01:02:35.719 --> 01:02:37.920 There's gonna be a moment where I like shoot, break 1348 01:02:38.079 --> 01:02:39.199 and fuck up everything. 1349 01:02:41.159 --> 01:02:44.719 Jan If there was one guy going to Ice, it 1350 01:02:44.800 --> 01:02:46.000 would be Charles Xavier. 1351 01:02:47.119 --> 01:02:47.800 Yeah, that's true. 1352 01:02:48.960 --> 01:02:53.559 The rich aristocrat like their homes. It says, no, come 1353 01:02:53.639 --> 01:02:55.400 live with me. I'll tell you where to go, how 1354 01:02:55.440 --> 01:02:57.400 to use your powers, clock, I best you. 1355 01:02:57.599 --> 01:02:59.320 I bet he would sort of be like, I got 1356 01:02:59.719 --> 01:03:03.440 what it called his dome? What's that called your room? 1357 01:03:04.360 --> 01:03:04.400 No? 1358 01:03:05.880 --> 01:03:09.760 Uh well he could like point out all the yeah, yeah, 1359 01:03:09.800 --> 01:03:12.639 cerebral cerebra. He'd be like, well, I got this fun, 1360 01:03:12.679 --> 01:03:14.880 I could work from home, you know kind of thing. 1361 01:03:15.679 --> 01:03:18.679 Exactly that fucker left his family to go to space 1362 01:03:18.760 --> 01:03:19.119 to fuck. 1363 01:03:20.159 --> 01:03:23.199 I think Cyclops will end up in this game eventually. 1364 01:03:23.519 --> 01:03:25.880 It is ripe for adding a ton of new characters, 1365 01:03:26.400 --> 01:03:28.840 and the characters are very distinct. They all play like 1366 01:03:28.960 --> 01:03:32.360 they express what you want from each character. You know, 1367 01:03:32.519 --> 01:03:35.559 Storm can fly, any of the flying characters. You double 1368 01:03:35.599 --> 01:03:38.400 tamp jumps, you can fly. She sends out winds and 1369 01:03:38.440 --> 01:03:41.559 stuff like that, or Superpower is dropping a bunch of lightning. 1370 01:03:41.639 --> 01:03:44.440 There's some sort of golden necks to it, a little 1371 01:03:44.440 --> 01:03:47.599 bit in that on that front, and then you know, 1372 01:03:47.840 --> 01:03:49.800 every other character is just like, yeah, they play like 1373 01:03:49.880 --> 01:03:52.960 you expect Wolverine. It's just you know, fury and claws 1374 01:03:53.039 --> 01:03:53.599 and things like that. 1375 01:03:53.760 --> 01:03:58.800 It's it's good. Yeah, where the fuck is night Crawler? 1376 01:03:59.639 --> 01:03:59.880 True? 1377 01:04:00.119 --> 01:04:02.840 Yeah that I can see that working as well. 1378 01:04:02.920 --> 01:04:03.119 Yeah. 1379 01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:07.719 I hope eventually they get the full uh like roster. 1380 01:04:07.639 --> 01:04:08.639 That they had in the X Men arch. 1381 01:04:08.920 --> 01:04:11.519 I do think it's odd some of some of their inclusions, 1382 01:04:11.559 --> 01:04:15.480 because they have Nova, which I consider like a low 1383 01:04:15.599 --> 01:04:18.440 seed a D tier Marvel character, but then they also 1384 01:04:18.599 --> 01:04:19.400 Beta ray Bill. 1385 01:04:20.320 --> 01:04:23.280 Why are they trying to make better Beta ray Bill happen. 1386 01:04:23.920 --> 01:04:25.320 I thought I thought it did have. 1387 01:04:25.480 --> 01:04:27.559 I always like, I don't know anything about Beta ray 1388 01:04:27.559 --> 01:04:29.760 Bill other than he comes up sometimes and people seem 1389 01:04:29.920 --> 01:04:30.440 very excited. 1390 01:04:30.480 --> 01:04:33.480 It's just yeah, I mean, the first time he said it, 1391 01:04:33.519 --> 01:04:35.599 I thought he said gatorade Bill, and I thought it 1392 01:04:36.000 --> 01:04:37.960 seems like a pretty cool comic character. 1393 01:04:38.400 --> 01:04:41.960 Might as well be that. I don't get it. Sounds 1394 01:04:42.000 --> 01:04:48.639 like a guy you meet outside a bar, that's his job. 1395 01:04:48.840 --> 01:04:52.639 What's funny is I can only this is such a 1396 01:04:52.760 --> 01:04:56.559 dumb ass, old man way to sort of measure the 1397 01:04:56.639 --> 01:04:58.920 importance of Marvel characters. And I and I kind of 1398 01:04:59.000 --> 01:05:01.320 do that with a little bit of like what the 1399 01:05:01.519 --> 01:05:04.280 current set of like Marvel cards is kind of like 1400 01:05:04.440 --> 01:05:07.800 prioritizing Marvel people because it's like, well, if they're not 1401 01:05:07.920 --> 01:05:10.800 in the cards, if they're not in this checklist, they're 1402 01:05:10.840 --> 01:05:12.960 not important or they're not as important. 1403 01:05:13.239 --> 01:05:14.320 I think that's a good measurement. 1404 01:05:14.400 --> 01:05:16.199 Yeah, sure, I mean it just it tells you there 1405 01:05:16.280 --> 01:05:19.079 is some sort of editorial sort of oversight there where 1406 01:05:19.079 --> 01:05:22.800 they're like, well, we're gonna give baa Bill his own 1407 01:05:22.880 --> 01:05:26.159 fucking card. So I'm surprised to see this. But they 1408 01:05:26.199 --> 01:05:28.760 have been trying to. This guy's been in like every 1409 01:05:28.960 --> 01:05:31.960 set I feel like in the last five to six years, 1410 01:05:32.000 --> 01:05:34.960 which I do not understand. Is he show up in movies? 1411 01:05:35.039 --> 01:05:35.559 What's the deal? 1412 01:05:35.719 --> 01:05:37.280 No, I only he's shown up in any movies, but 1413 01:05:37.480 --> 01:05:40.159 it feels imminent, it feels inevitable at this point. 1414 01:05:40.800 --> 01:05:41.360 I bet. 1415 01:05:45.079 --> 01:05:47.920 Yeah, he takeaway too, thank you. I think he would 1416 01:05:47.960 --> 01:05:50.639 be all over that if you did another one of those. 1417 01:05:50.679 --> 01:05:54.159 He probably won't, but I think he would. Yeah, I 1418 01:05:54.239 --> 01:05:54.480 don't know. 1419 01:05:54.559 --> 01:05:56.519 I think some of the characters, like I was surprised 1420 01:05:56.559 --> 01:06:00.280 to see cosmic ghost writers, just. 1421 01:06:00.360 --> 01:06:03.719 A stoner ghost writer, Like he's got like this. 1422 01:06:03.840 --> 01:06:05.960 Dome overhead, like Mysterio or whatever, but it's all the 1423 01:06:06.039 --> 01:06:08.119 fire in there, and he's just like he's got like 1424 01:06:08.159 --> 01:06:10.400 a space gun. He looks fucking sick. 1425 01:06:10.480 --> 01:06:18.719 It's cosmic because if the Punisher became the ghost writer, really, so. 1426 01:06:18.880 --> 01:06:23.760 He's Ice, Okay, God, yes, definitely fred Castle. 1427 01:06:23.800 --> 01:06:24.920 I don't think he'd be ice. 1428 01:06:25.159 --> 01:06:27.840 I think he'd No, he would kill he would kill him. 1429 01:06:27.960 --> 01:06:30.280 Yeah, he would kill everyone. I'm surprised Daredevil isn't in 1430 01:06:30.360 --> 01:06:34.199 the game, given how popular the show has been. 1431 01:06:35.039 --> 01:06:37.719 Yeah, I think they just like they chose a cosmic theme, 1432 01:06:37.920 --> 01:06:41.519 like what that why they did that specifically? It's like, 1433 01:06:41.679 --> 01:06:43.840 you know, it works for the story they're telling, but 1434 01:06:43.960 --> 01:06:46.760 like you know, there's always the rights involved in John Drake. 1435 01:06:46.800 --> 01:06:49.000 He's just got that iron iron grip around there. 1436 01:06:49.039 --> 01:06:50.760 What did I do to Drake? Why won't he put 1437 01:06:50.800 --> 01:06:56.079 psychlops and things? Drake? I thought we were pals. I 1438 01:06:56.119 --> 01:06:58.480 don't have to send you a wrestler cameo apology. 1439 01:06:59.280 --> 01:07:02.320 Now I don't know, like what is what the deal? 1440 01:07:02.440 --> 01:07:02.480 Like? 1441 01:07:02.639 --> 01:07:05.519 I just don't think Cyclops is that Cyclops? Like a 1442 01:07:05.880 --> 01:07:07.199 is he popular? Like? 1443 01:07:07.360 --> 01:07:09.639 Is he x Men ninety seven saved his rep? 1444 01:07:10.400 --> 01:07:12.360 I guess and that was a long time well that 1445 01:07:12.519 --> 01:07:16.800 was actually recent, was in the last years. Yeah, I 1446 01:07:16.840 --> 01:07:19.000 don't know. I just feel like I never see anyone 1447 01:07:19.119 --> 01:07:21.800 dressing up a Cyclops for Halloween. Never see that. Never 1448 01:07:22.039 --> 01:07:24.159 you know, don't you don't see that. 1449 01:07:24.719 --> 01:07:27.639 I'm gonna start like vibrating through this podcast. 1450 01:07:27.320 --> 01:07:29.280 All right, jan Who would you rather have in this game? 1451 01:07:29.480 --> 01:07:31.519 Cyclops or Scarlet Spider? 1452 01:07:32.199 --> 01:07:35.199 See I was thinking that too as Grub was talking. 1453 01:07:35.960 --> 01:07:38.280 Scarlet Spider's pretty fuck, he's just cool. 1454 01:07:38.719 --> 01:07:41.920 I would take Spider Man and Scarlet Spider and still 1455 01:07:42.000 --> 01:07:44.960 not be upset. The Scarlet Spider usually wear. 1456 01:07:44.840 --> 01:07:47.360 A vest hoodie like a hoodie vest a hoodie like 1457 01:07:47.840 --> 01:07:48.760 a teal hoodie. 1458 01:07:49.039 --> 01:07:51.760 Yeah, yeah, right, because he's the coolest. 1459 01:07:52.119 --> 01:07:55.679 Yeah, the across the Spider Verse films that maybe didn't 1460 01:07:55.719 --> 01:07:57.639 make him the coolest. He's kind of a duive. 1461 01:07:57.440 --> 01:08:00.800 There, but it Andy Samberg way worse. 1462 01:08:00.960 --> 01:08:01.599 It could be worse. 1463 01:08:02.559 --> 01:08:07.000 Moving on, joshad Josh Gadd as Scarlett Spider for sure, Josh, 1464 01:08:07.559 --> 01:08:10.719 that's all off right, yes, yeah, I'm also planting a 1465 01:08:10.760 --> 01:08:12.000 seed for later, so just hanging. 1466 01:08:12.320 --> 01:08:15.400 We can't do that, no, no, but but I don't 1467 01:08:15.440 --> 01:08:17.159 know how clued in any of y'all are to the 1468 01:08:17.199 --> 01:08:19.960 current MCU. But apparently Josh Gadd is going to make 1469 01:08:20.000 --> 01:08:23.520 a big appearance in the power Man Show as Josh 1470 01:08:23.600 --> 01:08:24.920 gadd oh. 1471 01:08:26.960 --> 01:08:27.760 Range within his. 1472 01:08:27.920 --> 01:08:31.800 Range power Man, He's gonna be Rob Zombie's brother. Yep, 1473 01:08:31.920 --> 01:08:32.640 yeple off. 1474 01:08:32.880 --> 01:08:33.479 Is that a shoot? 1475 01:08:33.840 --> 01:08:36.560 Yeah, because it was like, it's like Steve Zombie or something, 1476 01:08:38.000 --> 01:08:38.880 Steven Zombie. 1477 01:08:40.199 --> 01:08:40.800 I didn't know that. 1478 01:08:41.359 --> 01:08:44.359 Yeah, I didn't know that. We've been going for a 1479 01:08:44.439 --> 01:08:47.479 bit here. Let's cap off games talk on the other 1480 01:08:47.640 --> 01:08:50.039 side of this little bricky break, and we'll also get 1481 01:08:50.239 --> 01:08:58.600 to the news right after this over the weekend. This 1482 01:08:58.760 --> 01:09:00.800 isn't a cry for help, this is this is like 1483 01:09:00.880 --> 01:09:05.800 a coming to Jesus moment. But one of my dear friends, Miles, 1484 01:09:06.920 --> 01:09:08.960 he's popped up. He's hung around at the GB at 1485 01:09:09.039 --> 01:09:14.960 night stuff. He had a curiosity to check out a 1486 01:09:15.079 --> 01:09:20.960 game made by Riot called League of Legends, and I decided, oh, 1487 01:09:21.960 --> 01:09:23.840 I used to play a lot of that. Let me 1488 01:09:23.920 --> 01:09:26.159 go download that and play with my dear friend Miles. 1489 01:09:28.479 --> 01:09:35.119 And I got a lot of concern calls from the internet, rightfully, 1490 01:09:35.159 --> 01:09:38.720 so so thank you everyone. But I will say that 1491 01:09:38.880 --> 01:09:42.239 I think League of Legends as a whole is a 1492 01:09:42.359 --> 01:09:49.720 garbage product because I don't all understand how this game 1493 01:09:49.960 --> 01:09:53.239 in the year of Our Lord twenty twenty five will 1494 01:09:53.319 --> 01:09:57.239 still have a launcher and we'll start to launch a whole, separate, 1495 01:09:57.359 --> 01:10:00.239 windowed instance of when you finally get into the game. 1496 01:10:00.760 --> 01:10:04.119 I don't understand how even the setup phase still takes 1497 01:10:04.159 --> 01:10:08.800 you thirty or upwards to fifteen to twenty minutes. Who 1498 01:10:08.920 --> 01:10:11.680 the fuck has time to actually play this game on 1499 01:10:11.760 --> 01:10:15.119 a continual basis. And also the other my biggest quick 1500 01:10:16.439 --> 01:10:20.760 my biggest gripe is for practice sake. I thought, let 1501 01:10:20.840 --> 01:10:24.279 me go reacclimate myself to the controls and everything. None 1502 01:10:24.279 --> 01:10:26.680 of the muscle memory has stuck. So let's see if 1503 01:10:26.720 --> 01:10:29.039 I can remember the overall flow and how to play 1504 01:10:29.079 --> 01:10:32.199 the game. So I entered a training match, a training 1505 01:10:32.279 --> 01:10:37.720 match against computer opponents, and for all I know, my 1506 01:10:38.039 --> 01:10:41.159 teammates were either other people entering in like a training 1507 01:10:41.239 --> 01:10:44.920 mode or they were also computers. I could not quit 1508 01:10:45.039 --> 01:10:50.960 out of this match. Wait, what dude, you're describing some like? Okay, 1509 01:10:51.039 --> 01:10:54.119 go on, if I quit out and exited the game, 1510 01:10:54.479 --> 01:10:57.199 it wouldn't let me launch into another game. It would 1511 01:10:57.279 --> 01:10:58.600 just be reconnect. 1512 01:10:59.159 --> 01:11:02.479 Reconnect to your training match against AI controlled opponents. 1513 01:11:02.640 --> 01:11:05.159 Yes, and as far as I remember, there is nothing 1514 01:11:05.239 --> 01:11:10.159 to earn or gain from just playing against AI opponents 1515 01:11:10.560 --> 01:11:11.760 and or teammates. 1516 01:11:12.239 --> 01:11:14.119 So just trying to teach you the lesson that there 1517 01:11:14.319 --> 01:11:16.359 is no escaping League of Legends. 1518 01:11:16.079 --> 01:11:17.840 And now this is the rest of your life. So 1519 01:11:18.000 --> 01:11:21.239 I uninstalled it gang, everyone can can. 1520 01:11:21.640 --> 01:11:23.680 Can reinstall itself on your computer. 1521 01:11:23.760 --> 01:11:26.039 Tonight, I did look and Riot was still on my 1522 01:11:26.159 --> 01:11:27.960 computer despite it. 1523 01:11:27.960 --> 01:11:28.880 I'll get you well. 1524 01:11:30.199 --> 01:11:32.479 So I feel like I'm still not in a completely 1525 01:11:32.520 --> 01:11:36.600 good space. But speaking about space, Jeff Grub, but I'm 1526 01:11:36.640 --> 01:11:38.680 sorry real quick, Jent, you said it took how long 1527 01:11:39.079 --> 01:11:42.840 to load up? No? No, no, no, like to get 1528 01:11:44.720 --> 01:11:46.720 to get out of like the setup phase of a game, 1529 01:11:46.800 --> 01:11:50.640 because got it in Mobia's not just League of Legends, 1530 01:11:50.720 --> 01:11:53.000 but like it takes forever to get going, and then 1531 01:11:53.159 --> 01:11:56.720 like after fifteen to twenty minutes, that's when like, all right, shit, 1532 01:11:56.720 --> 01:11:59.600 it's starting to hit the fan. Let's go. Okay. I 1533 01:11:59.720 --> 01:12:02.720 still think the best mobile out there is Pokemon Unite 1534 01:12:03.199 --> 01:12:07.159 because those games are like three minutes long. Sure, three 1535 01:12:07.199 --> 01:12:10.640 to five minutes long. Anyway, moving on to back to Space. 1536 01:12:10.840 --> 01:12:16.399 Jeff Grubb, Dan Reikert, you two have been playing Secretory, and. 1537 01:12:17.239 --> 01:12:19.960 So I've talked about this the last several weeks, and 1538 01:12:20.520 --> 01:12:23.319 it is yeah, well the Secretary happened. 1539 01:12:23.359 --> 01:12:26.479 It's it's important. Yeah, no, I'll be good. I'm good. 1540 01:12:26.720 --> 01:12:28.199 Yeah with me. 1541 01:12:29.359 --> 01:12:31.920 No, it's he's right. That's the that's the noise you 1542 01:12:32.000 --> 01:12:35.279 make for Sectory. It really clicked with me in this 1543 01:12:35.399 --> 01:12:37.840 last week where it's like I started to like find out, Oh, 1544 01:12:38.039 --> 01:12:40.159 this is the leaderboard everyone is on. Oh, here are 1545 01:12:40.159 --> 01:12:42.640 the other modes, here's how some of the like the 1546 01:12:42.680 --> 01:12:44.680 scoring system works. Oh some of these upgrades. I was 1547 01:12:44.720 --> 01:12:48.159 ignoring are super important. Dan, you started playing this week. 1548 01:12:49.039 --> 01:12:50.560 Right late yesterday. 1549 01:12:50.640 --> 01:12:53.600 Basically, I played it It is the Ultimate, just like 1550 01:12:54.359 --> 01:12:56.000 I'm going to do one more here, and I told 1551 01:12:56.039 --> 01:12:58.079 myself like, okay, Like after work yesterday, I was like, 1552 01:12:58.079 --> 01:13:00.279 I'm gonna start playing this and I'll do a bunch 1553 01:13:00.359 --> 01:13:01.760 of this and then when I'm getting ready to wind 1554 01:13:01.760 --> 01:13:03.039 down for bed, I'll switch over to y Ota. 1555 01:13:03.560 --> 01:13:04.520 And I just couldn't stop. 1556 01:13:04.640 --> 01:13:07.359 And so I literally went from just like eyeballs about 1557 01:13:07.359 --> 01:13:10.159 to fall out of my head, everything just sectories pulsing 1558 01:13:10.239 --> 01:13:12.920 through my veins from that to lying in bed staring 1559 01:13:12.920 --> 01:13:15.159 at the ceiling, which is not a good way to 1560 01:13:15.239 --> 01:13:15.680 do things. 1561 01:13:16.640 --> 01:13:17.319 Grub it is. 1562 01:13:17.560 --> 01:13:20.079 Yeah, it's Geometry Wars, It's house Mark, it's everything you've said. 1563 01:13:20.439 --> 01:13:22.479 It's I'm trying to kind of figure out because like 1564 01:13:22.520 --> 01:13:24.840 they don't spell too much out for you. The tutorial 1565 01:13:24.920 --> 01:13:27.840 is pretty short, so you know, it's that thing of 1566 01:13:28.000 --> 01:13:30.680 realizing kind of in real time as you're playing, like, oh, hey, 1567 01:13:30.720 --> 01:13:32.039 there's this strike multiplayer up there. 1568 01:13:32.079 --> 01:13:33.039 What does that mean? Oh shit? 1569 01:13:33.079 --> 01:13:34.920 If I do that strike move and I chain it 1570 01:13:35.000 --> 01:13:36.359 with a bunch of these power ups and stuff, then 1571 01:13:36.359 --> 01:13:38.199 I'm getting more of a Strike multiplayer. Ooh, and then 1572 01:13:38.199 --> 01:13:39.960 I bet if I triggered the score thing and the 1573 01:13:40.000 --> 01:13:42.039 stack upgrades, I bet I can get a superscore there. 1574 01:13:42.319 --> 01:13:42.600 It is. 1575 01:13:42.920 --> 01:13:44.880 There's a level of depth to it that like if 1576 01:13:44.920 --> 01:13:47.279 you just look at it, it just looks like Twin 1577 01:13:47.319 --> 01:13:50.720 Stick Shooter Geometry Wars, which Geometry Wars also had more 1578 01:13:50.800 --> 01:13:54.039 depth than it appeared. But yeah, it's in that Robotron 1579 01:13:54.079 --> 01:13:57.479 Geometry Wars Housemark Vein. And I'm still trying to kind 1580 01:13:57.479 --> 01:13:59.880 of figure out, like I'm not anywhere near your score yet, Grub, 1581 01:14:00.079 --> 01:14:02.319 I'm at the you're at like six million something. 1582 01:14:02.439 --> 01:14:03.600 I'm in the like midterms. 1583 01:14:03.640 --> 01:14:06.439 I want to say I haven't beaten it yet, but 1584 01:14:06.520 --> 01:14:09.039 I got pretty far pretty quick. So it's like that 1585 01:14:09.199 --> 01:14:12.600 is an intense difficult game, and I think right now 1586 01:14:12.640 --> 01:14:14.079 I want to try to just beat it on the 1587 01:14:14.359 --> 01:14:17.640 the first difficulty and then start going after score stuff 1588 01:14:17.680 --> 01:14:19.720 on the next one. But yeah, just trying to figure 1589 01:14:19.720 --> 01:14:21.840 out the strategy because the way like as you level up, 1590 01:14:21.880 --> 01:14:25.239 there's that stack of like Okay, you get one upgrade, Pip, 1591 01:14:25.279 --> 01:14:26.760 do you want to spend it right now on speed 1592 01:14:27.119 --> 01:14:28.439 or do you want to get five or six of 1593 01:14:28.520 --> 01:14:30.800 those and get your missiles or your blaster, which is 1594 01:14:30.840 --> 01:14:33.640 you know, ultimately a bigger upgrade, and then you can 1595 01:14:33.680 --> 01:14:35.760 spend it on shields like one time you shields and 1596 01:14:35.800 --> 01:14:38.800 things like that. So there's really a fun interplay there, 1597 01:14:38.840 --> 01:14:40.439 and then there's all the little things in between where 1598 01:14:40.479 --> 01:14:42.960 it's like there's the letters that what does this spell out? 1599 01:14:43.000 --> 01:14:47.359 Mirage Mirage on the basic mode, Secretory on the middle mode, 1600 01:14:47.479 --> 01:14:49.920 and then I think maybe Revolution on the last one. 1601 01:14:50.000 --> 01:14:52.199 So okay, and that Trader is the Rainbow mode thing 1602 01:14:52.239 --> 01:14:55.319 where just everything is exploding and colorful, and they're like, 1603 01:14:55.800 --> 01:14:58.800 it is tremendously satisfying. And the way the arena is 1604 01:14:58.880 --> 01:15:02.119 constantly shifting and everything. Thing that strike mechanic is killer. 1605 01:15:02.720 --> 01:15:05.840 Uh yeah, grub you you unleast something by pointing. 1606 01:15:05.680 --> 01:15:08.039 Me towards this game. It's incredible, Yeah, it is. 1607 01:15:08.399 --> 01:15:10.640 It has been fun to like, uh kind of like 1608 01:15:10.680 --> 01:15:13.880 I said, was clicking and begin developing like new strategies 1609 01:15:13.960 --> 01:15:15.359 of like, you know what, I Am going to go 1610 01:15:15.479 --> 01:15:18.239 all in on speed early on because that way I 1611 01:15:18.279 --> 01:15:20.039 can get around the map faster and pick up more 1612 01:15:20.079 --> 01:15:23.159 of those pips and turn those in for more upgrades. 1613 01:15:23.520 --> 01:15:26.880 And then really the hardest part of a run, right, 1614 01:15:26.960 --> 01:15:29.800 now is the early part, at least on the challenge mode, 1615 01:15:30.479 --> 01:15:33.760 because it's when you're the least survivable survivable and you 1616 01:15:33.880 --> 01:15:35.399 kind of have to like take some risks to get 1617 01:15:35.439 --> 01:15:39.880 your survivability up pretty quickly before the first boss fight happens. 1618 01:15:39.880 --> 01:15:41.680 So I means you want to be like taking out 1619 01:15:41.720 --> 01:15:44.479 as many enemies as possible, zooming around picking up everything 1620 01:15:44.560 --> 01:15:46.760 that they drop, so that you can then start chaining 1621 01:15:46.800 --> 01:15:49.000 together these strikes to get to all these pickups to 1622 01:15:49.079 --> 01:15:51.439 get the upgrades. And now I can like have a 1623 01:15:51.600 --> 01:15:53.880 stronger blaster, which is going to enable me to blast 1624 01:15:54.000 --> 01:15:56.640 through these hordes of enemies at a certain point that 1625 01:15:56.760 --> 01:15:58.760 could easily overwhelm me if I just had the little 1626 01:15:58.800 --> 01:16:01.000 pea shooter. But if I'm doing that, I'm like not 1627 01:16:01.159 --> 01:16:04.159 getting it. If I'm like saving up five upgrade tokens 1628 01:16:04.720 --> 01:16:07.159 to get an upgraded blaster, I am not putting it 1629 01:16:07.279 --> 01:16:08.960 in Strike. I'm not putting in this other stuff. So 1630 01:16:08.960 --> 01:16:11.199 I'm like, what if I tried to like figure out 1631 01:16:11.239 --> 01:16:14.079 Strike even more? I was already like doing quite a 1632 01:16:14.119 --> 01:16:15.319 bit of it, But like what if it was all 1633 01:16:15.399 --> 01:16:17.800 speed and Strike early on? It's like, yeah, but then 1634 01:16:17.800 --> 01:16:19.079 I'm not gonna be able to take out the bosses. 1635 01:16:19.119 --> 01:16:20.880 I'm like, you know what, what if I tried using 1636 01:16:21.000 --> 01:16:23.800 strike on the bosses? So now instead of just always 1637 01:16:23.920 --> 01:16:26.279 firing at the bosses, I am trying to just like 1638 01:16:27.199 --> 01:16:30.760 dodge their bullets, find an opportunity and strike, which again 1639 01:16:30.880 --> 01:16:34.000 is this dash movere you have iframes into their glowing 1640 01:16:34.039 --> 01:16:36.319 weak spots and trying to get out of there real 1641 01:16:36.399 --> 01:16:40.039 quick before I become a damageable again. And that's been like, oh, 1642 01:16:40.159 --> 01:16:42.479 I'm I'm flipped on playing this game. 1643 01:16:42.520 --> 01:16:42.640 Now. 1644 01:16:42.680 --> 01:16:44.720 It's a different game at this point, and I'm like, 1645 01:16:44.840 --> 01:16:47.079 I bet there are deeper strategies that I'm not even 1646 01:16:47.119 --> 01:16:47.760 considering yet. 1647 01:16:47.800 --> 01:16:50.000 And also, if you strike into a power up, you 1648 01:16:50.159 --> 01:16:52.439 instantly recharge it, and so like, yes, you've been going 1649 01:16:52.479 --> 01:16:54.399 hard on speed, which I understand because it's so easy 1650 01:16:54.439 --> 01:16:55.880 to do because it's just one upgrade for that. 1651 01:16:56.000 --> 01:16:58.119 Versus like four three or four per strike. 1652 01:16:58.199 --> 01:16:59.039 It's three strike. 1653 01:16:59.119 --> 01:16:59.319 Yeah. 1654 01:16:59.359 --> 01:17:03.199 Strike is offense, defense and mobility. So for me, it's 1655 01:17:03.239 --> 01:17:05.479 like it attacks things, it creates kind of a shock 1656 01:17:05.560 --> 01:17:08.840 wave where you land, which is great. It is defense 1657 01:17:09.039 --> 01:17:11.319 in that you have those I frames, and it's mobility 1658 01:17:11.359 --> 01:17:12.720 and that it's like, give me the fuck out of 1659 01:17:12.760 --> 01:17:14.880 here button, you know, so, like to me, I go 1660 01:17:15.079 --> 01:17:16.960 super heavy on strike, which I'm trying to figure out 1661 01:17:16.960 --> 01:17:19.319 what the upgrade like, is that just a cool down 1662 01:17:19.359 --> 01:17:21.880 thing or does it actually expand the shockwave you know things. 1663 01:17:22.399 --> 01:17:25.119 So it definitely expands the range of your dash. So 1664 01:17:25.600 --> 01:17:28.439 and that's that's huge. You don't realize how huge that 1665 01:17:28.600 --> 01:17:32.800 is until there is a wave of like seventy enemies 1666 01:17:32.920 --> 01:17:34.960 of varying types, so you kind of just can't blast 1667 01:17:35.000 --> 01:17:36.279 in there because there could be one that comes in 1668 01:17:36.359 --> 01:17:38.119 from the side that you're not expecting that you can't 1669 01:17:38.119 --> 01:17:40.680 see in that horde, but there's a there's an upgrade 1670 01:17:40.720 --> 01:17:42.960 token right on the other side of them, and it's 1671 01:17:43.000 --> 01:17:44.800 like that's it's a little bit far for my strike. Well, 1672 01:17:44.840 --> 01:17:47.239 if you upgraded it, it's not too far. You dash 1673 01:17:47.319 --> 01:17:50.319 halfway across across the map and then your explosion everything 1674 01:17:50.399 --> 01:17:52.840 is bigger. And it's like once you start put piecing 1675 01:17:52.920 --> 01:17:55.159 that together that it really does unlock your ability to 1676 01:17:55.239 --> 01:18:00.960 survive a lot better strike range range. So that's huge, Okay, yes, 1677 01:18:01.199 --> 01:18:03.800 oh yeah, just talking about it. Yeah, it's just it's 1678 01:18:03.840 --> 01:18:05.439 one of those games. It just makes your brain explode 1679 01:18:05.479 --> 01:18:06.680 the entire time you're flying well. 1680 01:18:06.560 --> 01:18:07.880 That parentheses positive. 1681 01:18:08.239 --> 01:18:12.159 Y oh yeah, okay, it's a very light rogue light, 1682 01:18:12.279 --> 01:18:15.479 by the way, very light like it's it's an arcade game. 1683 01:18:15.960 --> 01:18:18.479 There are things that you are unlocking that you can 1684 01:18:18.680 --> 01:18:21.800 use and future runs, making it technically I guess, a 1685 01:18:21.960 --> 01:18:26.000 rogue light. Those are like cards for your deck. You 1686 01:18:26.199 --> 01:18:28.439 have to pick eight cards for your deck, and these 1687 01:18:28.520 --> 01:18:31.720 are the packs that unlock when once you get an 1688 01:18:31.800 --> 01:18:34.760 evolve tokens. There's the yellow tokens that's the evolved token, 1689 01:18:35.239 --> 01:18:37.399 and then there's the blue tokens it's the upgrade tokens. 1690 01:18:37.640 --> 01:18:39.960 On to get an evolved token, you get these decks, 1691 01:18:40.039 --> 01:18:42.039 you can open them up. One of them stays in 1692 01:18:42.079 --> 01:18:43.840 your hand, the other three go back into like the 1693 01:18:43.920 --> 01:18:47.000 thing that you can shuffle into later. Uh and and 1694 01:18:47.319 --> 01:18:49.960 these things are like, hey, you can get a drone 1695 01:18:50.039 --> 01:18:54.760 that fires lasers, or you can will upgrade your the 1696 01:18:54.960 --> 01:18:58.359 potential for you to get six upgrades for your blaster 1697 01:18:58.520 --> 01:19:00.680 or something like that, and maybe even give you a 1698 01:19:00.720 --> 01:19:03.039 free one right now. But that's a good version of 1699 01:19:03.119 --> 01:19:05.720 the card that has some negatives. So in that case, 1700 01:19:05.760 --> 01:19:07.840 it's like okay, but for the next one hundred seconds 1701 01:19:08.039 --> 01:19:09.159 you can't strike. 1702 01:19:08.920 --> 01:19:11.119 At all, so there's these gives and takes all this 1703 01:19:11.319 --> 01:19:13.920 first spend a million points to get two shields right now, 1704 01:19:14.039 --> 01:19:16.279 Like there's some really interesting ones there. Yeah, with the 1705 01:19:16.359 --> 01:19:18.239 downside where it's like, hey, we're going to spam enemies 1706 01:19:18.239 --> 01:19:20.720 for fifteen seconds, but you're going to get this extra 1707 01:19:20.920 --> 01:19:21.840 good upgrade, you know. 1708 01:19:22.479 --> 01:19:24.600 So it's like messing around with that. I was for 1709 01:19:24.720 --> 01:19:26.760 a long time there. I was just trying on Challenge 1710 01:19:26.800 --> 01:19:28.199 and I was kind of using the basic deck and 1711 01:19:28.279 --> 01:19:31.119 I'm I'm not really making a lot of progress. So 1712 01:19:31.159 --> 01:19:34.319 I went back down to the experience difficulty and started 1713 01:19:34.359 --> 01:19:35.800 doing random for the decks. 1714 01:19:35.640 --> 01:19:37.079 And being like, let's just see what happened. 1715 01:19:37.840 --> 01:19:40.119 And it was like I discovered, like, oh, the drones 1716 01:19:40.159 --> 01:19:42.199 can be very useful, especially if you get some of 1717 01:19:42.239 --> 01:19:45.199 these other upgrades that causes them to reload faster or 1718 01:19:45.239 --> 01:19:47.199 if a fire at a higher rate. It's like, oh, 1719 01:19:47.279 --> 01:19:51.079 they are actually greatly improving my survivability. Start hitting things 1720 01:19:51.279 --> 01:19:52.960 off to the side that I am not ready for, 1721 01:19:53.439 --> 01:19:56.399 and it's like, okay, so when I really what you 1722 01:19:56.479 --> 01:19:59.000 got to do is kind of start playing have your 1723 01:19:59.079 --> 01:20:03.039 early on strategy. But like once the decks start starts unfolding, 1724 01:20:03.039 --> 01:20:04.760 it's like here's what's available to you once you have 1725 01:20:04.840 --> 01:20:08.520 this Evolver options. Oh okay, so I'm getting stuff that 1726 01:20:08.800 --> 01:20:11.560 is good for drones. I need to start specking in 1727 01:20:11.640 --> 01:20:14.520 that direction. When I get the option. It's like it's 1728 01:20:14.600 --> 01:20:16.399 fun to like go with the flow at a certain point. 1729 01:20:16.479 --> 01:20:18.399 But yeah, I it's it's all. 1730 01:20:19.960 --> 01:20:22.000 It's gonna be my main thing forbid here outside him. 1731 01:20:22.000 --> 01:20:24.960 I didn't put it on the dock, but jan Tingus Goose. 1732 01:20:25.720 --> 01:20:26.840 Excuse me, you can't. 1733 01:20:27.319 --> 01:20:30.159 I don't.

I don't know. 1744 01:20:56.640 --> 01:20:58.800 That's a very pregnant stick figure? 1745 01:20:58.880 --> 01:21:03.399 Why is Tengus Goose? You know? I was gonna say 1746 01:21:04.319 --> 01:21:07.119 something about indie games or saving the industry, but maybe not. 1747 01:21:07.199 --> 01:21:09.520 I'm okay with this, actually are there's so many fingers 1748 01:21:09.560 --> 01:21:10.000 on that fame. 1749 01:21:11.079 --> 01:21:12.279 I want to play Tengas. 1750 01:21:12.039 --> 01:21:17.119 Goose all right, going from outer space or I guess 1751 01:21:17.159 --> 01:21:20.680 it contains space and sectory to the underworld. I've been 1752 01:21:20.720 --> 01:21:24.399 playing Demon School and Gang. This has all the trappings 1753 01:21:24.399 --> 01:21:27.920 of something I really really enjoy. It's a tax that 1754 01:21:28.079 --> 01:21:29.840 was the thought I had. Sound like two pieces of 1755 01:21:29.920 --> 01:21:32.720 art for a me like that's a jam thing. It's 1756 01:21:32.720 --> 01:21:36.359 a taxis game or tiles in it anime adjacent looking people. 1757 01:21:37.039 --> 01:21:40.680 The art style is absolutely fantastic. I think my favorite 1758 01:21:40.680 --> 01:21:44.279 part of this is the stage transitions going from the 1759 01:21:44.560 --> 01:21:49.000 overworld to a combat instance and then the stage completion 1760 01:21:50.600 --> 01:21:56.119 animations that happen the Also the time transitions, so from 1761 01:21:56.159 --> 01:21:58.720 the morning phase afternoon phase of the evening phase. I 1762 01:21:58.800 --> 01:22:02.600 really like that. It's very inspired by Persona. That being said, 1763 01:22:02.840 --> 01:22:04.720 I don't think I like this game. Oh, I don't 1764 01:22:04.720 --> 01:22:07.359 think I like playing this game. The tactics portion of 1765 01:22:07.439 --> 01:22:11.760 it takes too long to get to. That being said, 1766 01:22:12.000 --> 01:22:15.319 I'm still very early in. I fully intend to spend 1767 01:22:15.359 --> 01:22:18.920 some more time into it. I've at this point now 1768 01:22:19.039 --> 01:22:24.039 unlocked like the full party of four and the actual 1769 01:22:24.279 --> 01:22:29.840 gameplay of it. I'm not super into. And this is 1770 01:22:29.880 --> 01:22:32.800 coming off of the heels from also finishing Final Fantasy 1771 01:22:32.840 --> 01:22:35.439 Tactics Evelis Chronicles, you know, one of the best tactics 1772 01:22:35.520 --> 01:22:38.880 games in my opinion, But the combat is done in 1773 01:22:38.960 --> 01:22:41.720 a two stage sequence. There is the planning phase where 1774 01:22:42.520 --> 01:22:47.760 you have your tile set and your characters, and you 1775 01:22:47.840 --> 01:22:54.399 will using your ability points to determine your actions of 1776 01:22:54.479 --> 01:22:57.840 that turn. So you're either attacking, you're repositioning, you're moving characters. 1777 01:22:58.520 --> 01:23:01.159 And at first I was a little bit bothered by 1778 01:23:01.199 --> 01:23:05.000 how it looks because it's very light in what happens 1779 01:23:05.039 --> 01:23:07.920 in the planning phase. So you'll attack someone and then 1780 01:23:08.039 --> 01:23:11.319 it'll be like, okay, cool, you kill them, and nothing 1781 01:23:11.359 --> 01:23:13.800 will happen. There's no animations that get shown. You just 1782 01:23:13.840 --> 01:23:16.720 see the HP indicators go off. And then after you 1783 01:23:16.840 --> 01:23:20.279 execute the planning phase, that's when shit hits the fan, 1784 01:23:20.399 --> 01:23:23.000 and where your characters will move into place. They'll do 1785 01:23:23.159 --> 01:23:26.720 like team up attacks, pop off their abilities. The combat 1786 01:23:27.119 --> 01:23:30.680 is fairly light so far where I'm at, Like your 1787 01:23:30.760 --> 01:23:36.039 main character, they will just they're melee focused. Your second 1788 01:23:36.119 --> 01:23:39.880 character that you start the game with, they do like 1789 01:23:39.960 --> 01:23:43.960 a little swap a roo with with the enemy characters. 1790 01:23:44.000 --> 01:23:46.039 So positioning is very important in this game, like most 1791 01:23:46.079 --> 01:23:49.960 tactics games. I'm just not really jiving with the combat. 1792 01:23:50.199 --> 01:23:53.720 And I think another game, a game from last year 1793 01:23:53.760 --> 01:23:56.319 that has kind of ruined tactics for me in a 1794 01:23:56.520 --> 01:24:00.600 positive way is Tactical Breech Wizards because that is so 1795 01:24:01.000 --> 01:24:04.079 snappy and so fast. The writing is also great in that, 1796 01:24:05.359 --> 01:24:08.119 and I think that game has kind of ruined the 1797 01:24:08.439 --> 01:24:12.359 tactics or strategy or PG genre for me because I'm 1798 01:24:12.399 --> 01:24:16.600 able to pop off moves so fast and find the 1799 01:24:16.640 --> 01:24:22.159 synergy and get rolling in the game incredibly at a 1800 01:24:22.279 --> 01:24:26.439 nice pace versus the handholding that is kind of stuck 1801 01:24:26.600 --> 01:24:29.439 with Demon School because it is also trying to be 1802 01:24:29.479 --> 01:24:32.640 a JRPG. The parts where it is streamlined at least 1803 01:24:32.800 --> 01:24:36.920 is there's multiple places to go explore, but it'll check 1804 01:24:37.000 --> 01:24:38.600 mark you of like, Hey, this is where you're supposed 1805 01:24:38.640 --> 01:24:40.720 to go, this is the thing you're supposed to interact with, 1806 01:24:40.880 --> 01:24:43.119 or the person you're supposed to talk to to progress 1807 01:24:43.159 --> 01:24:45.640 the story. That being said, I'm not really into the 1808 01:24:45.680 --> 01:24:48.880 story as of right now. You're college students going to 1809 01:24:49.760 --> 01:24:53.359 a demon hunting college, and yeah, like I'm not really 1810 01:24:53.720 --> 01:24:58.880 liking the combat either, but the overall presentation I really 1811 01:24:59.000 --> 01:25:03.199 do enjoy. Maybe as I unlock more skills or whatever, 1812 01:25:03.960 --> 01:25:06.680 maybe get a better handle over the combat and maybe 1813 01:25:06.760 --> 01:25:09.640 that'll change. But as of right now, the whole planning 1814 01:25:09.680 --> 01:25:12.119 phase step of like all right, you're gonna go telegraph 1815 01:25:12.159 --> 01:25:14.239 your moves and then you'll go see them play out 1816 01:25:14.600 --> 01:25:17.680 isn't really sticking with me. But that is Demon School. 1817 01:25:17.960 --> 01:25:20.359 If you're looking for a tactic game, I definitely suggest 1818 01:25:20.479 --> 01:25:23.960 you check out Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy Tactics, The Evilise Chronicles. 1819 01:25:24.960 --> 01:25:27.079 Moving on from games, the things you play games on, 1820 01:25:28.039 --> 01:25:32.199 Dan Reikert, you have the a y n odin three 1821 01:25:32.399 --> 01:25:33.319 I did in. 1822 01:25:33.399 --> 01:25:36.560 The ongoing series of me and Grubb being sickos about 1823 01:25:36.640 --> 01:25:39.439 these things. You saw the video we did about the Thor, 1824 01:25:39.880 --> 01:25:43.079 which seemed like it made eight million people buy it because. 1825 01:25:42.880 --> 01:25:43.720 That thing is awesome. 1826 01:25:45.159 --> 01:25:45.880 Constantly about that. 1827 01:25:45.920 --> 01:25:47.880 That's trying to say, jan, I don't know if you've 1828 01:25:47.880 --> 01:25:49.399 got of it right. Everyone else got it on this. 1829 01:25:49.479 --> 01:25:51.399 Call I get to get it. 1830 01:25:51.560 --> 01:25:53.960 Yeah, okay, yeah, I've seen a lot of people say 1831 01:25:53.960 --> 01:25:55.720 they got it. Check out that video if you haven't 1832 01:25:55.920 --> 01:25:58.640 seen it. It is tremendous for just about every constant 1833 01:25:58.640 --> 01:26:00.560 week imagine but specifically DS in three D S. 1834 01:26:00.960 --> 01:26:03.600 This is I'm sorry, Dan, not to cut you off 1835 01:26:04.520 --> 01:26:06.840 really really quickly. You guys, remember what I was complaining 1836 01:26:06.840 --> 01:26:11.039 about yesterday right on the You got to be more specific. 1837 01:26:11.079 --> 01:26:15.000 There's I complain about a lot because everything is bad. 1838 01:26:15.199 --> 01:26:20.520 It's fine. I was complaining about the Thor's power button 1839 01:26:20.600 --> 01:26:26.359 on the bottom lip. They released an update yesterday that 1840 01:26:26.600 --> 01:26:29.640 doesn't that turns off the power button when you close 1841 01:26:29.840 --> 01:26:32.800 the lid, and now I don't turn it off, turn 1842 01:26:32.880 --> 01:26:34.560 it on and off, sorry, turn it on. 1843 01:26:36.359 --> 01:26:38.880 This is why you should complain more, because it makes 1844 01:26:38.960 --> 01:26:41.000 it makes things change, it makes ratification. 1845 01:26:41.760 --> 01:26:44.119 It's still a problem when I'm holding it on. But 1846 01:26:44.720 --> 01:26:49.279 baby steps right, you have to check. I think that's 1847 01:26:49.279 --> 01:26:51.680 another thing. And maybe you'll talk more about this with 1848 01:26:51.800 --> 01:26:56.279 the with the odin they a lot of these settings 1849 01:26:56.319 --> 01:26:58.279 are are sort of like hidden in a way that 1850 01:26:58.680 --> 01:27:01.840 as someone who's very flat went with Android, it's like 1851 01:27:02.159 --> 01:27:05.479 I still can't find where these magic settings are because 1852 01:27:05.920 --> 01:27:09.840 they're either like hiding in plain sight in the setting section, 1853 01:27:10.079 --> 01:27:13.520 maybe mislabeled for one reason or another. But I can't 1854 01:27:13.600 --> 01:27:16.239 find some of these settings. I know the power button 1855 01:27:16.319 --> 01:27:20.520 update happened in the recent Thor update, but I don't 1856 01:27:20.640 --> 01:27:23.199 see where to change it anyway. 1857 01:27:24.039 --> 01:27:26.560 Yeah, there there, I think there still is that uh 1858 01:27:26.800 --> 01:27:28.600 you know, double tap the power button de before it 1859 01:27:28.640 --> 01:27:29.199 does anything. 1860 01:27:30.000 --> 01:27:32.840 But I cannot remember where this setting is. Couldn't begin 1861 01:27:32.960 --> 01:27:35.560 to point in the right direction anyway. 1862 01:27:35.960 --> 01:27:38.600 I will say that, you know whereas the Thor is 1863 01:27:38.760 --> 01:27:40.880 clearly you know with the two screens. Great for three 1864 01:27:40.920 --> 01:27:43.000 D S and DS. This is more just kind of 1865 01:27:43.039 --> 01:27:45.319 like a traditional form factor here. You know, it looks 1866 01:27:45.399 --> 01:27:48.680 kind of like maybe a wider Vita and it is powerful, 1867 01:27:48.680 --> 01:27:50.800 like I've been running everything on it, like I think 1868 01:27:50.840 --> 01:27:52.680 I wanted. This has burnout three for those watching the 1869 01:27:52.760 --> 01:27:54.960 video version, and it runs awesome. You can are you 1870 01:27:55.000 --> 01:27:58.319 still sitting resolution quite a bit? No, not crash mode. 1871 01:27:58.359 --> 01:28:00.279 I didn't do great on that during the Bombita or 1872 01:28:00.359 --> 01:28:01.039 the Extra Life. 1873 01:28:02.199 --> 01:28:03.800 In some ways you did better than anyone. 1874 01:28:03.960 --> 01:28:06.399 It was incredible, yes, but you can say of that 1875 01:28:06.520 --> 01:28:07.720 like I did the exact same thing. I followed the 1876 01:28:07.720 --> 01:28:11.000 same video I did with Joey's retro handhelds, where it's 1877 01:28:11.039 --> 01:28:12.880 like you didn't get that same just great interface and 1878 01:28:12.920 --> 01:28:15.800 everything go between a million different consoles and everything. It's 1879 01:28:15.960 --> 01:28:18.079 just to me, it is a I guess, less interesting 1880 01:28:18.199 --> 01:28:20.560 version of the Thor because it doesn't have the dual 1881 01:28:20.600 --> 01:28:23.880 screen thing. So this is just like a traditional, albeit 1882 01:28:24.079 --> 01:28:27.439 powerful version of one of those basically, So I'm going 1883 01:28:27.479 --> 01:28:31.119 to lean on this mostly for like PS two, GameCube, Dreamcast, 1884 01:28:31.399 --> 01:28:34.319 things like that, but also it's like the Thor has 1885 01:28:34.359 --> 01:28:36.119 that form factor too to work. It would fit in 1886 01:28:36.239 --> 01:28:39.119 your pocket. It wasn't too wide, you know, even folded up, 1887 01:28:39.119 --> 01:28:40.640 but it's a little big, but you could put it 1888 01:28:40.680 --> 01:28:43.279 in a pocket, whereas this is a bit too tall 1889 01:28:43.359 --> 01:28:44.920 for that. Gotta looking at it. I mean this looks 1890 01:28:44.920 --> 01:28:47.560 like it's probably nine or ten. Yeah, that that's a 1891 01:28:47.600 --> 01:28:50.319 beefy boy to do. But it is BP, so it's 1892 01:28:50.359 --> 01:28:52.159 like a little less kind of you know, throw it 1893 01:28:52.199 --> 01:28:54.239 in a bag, packable, put it in a pocket type thing. 1894 01:28:55.359 --> 01:28:57.359 But if you're looking for something like solely for like 1895 01:28:57.399 --> 01:29:00.000 stuff like PS two, which obviously can run all thegalle 1896 01:29:00.159 --> 01:29:03.039 stuff for the most part, except for there are certain 1897 01:29:03.439 --> 01:29:06.399 cores that will work on on the Thor but won't 1898 01:29:06.399 --> 01:29:08.600 work on here, So like the N sixty four corps, 1899 01:29:08.720 --> 01:29:11.439 the standard one that people recommend doesn't work on there. 1900 01:29:11.560 --> 01:29:13.119 So like the video I saw, I was like, oh, 1901 01:29:13.159 --> 01:29:15.319 you got to get the standalone in six for emulator 1902 01:29:15.600 --> 01:29:17.560 that is either paid or you have ads on it. 1903 01:29:17.760 --> 01:29:19.319 So like, I don't know if that's the thing that's 1904 01:29:19.359 --> 01:29:21.039 going to be fixed at some point here, but like 1905 01:29:21.199 --> 01:29:24.079 I'm sure it will be at some point. Yeah, yeah, 1906 01:29:24.119 --> 01:29:26.560 but it wasn't as just like you know, with the Thor, 1907 01:29:26.680 --> 01:29:28.960 I followed that Joey's Retor handled video and it was 1908 01:29:29.039 --> 01:29:31.760 just set up perfectly first time. This one had a 1909 01:29:31.880 --> 01:29:35.000 few little tweaks and stuff that we're not quite there yet. 1910 01:29:35.119 --> 01:29:38.000 So yeah, so the big issue there is, and this 1911 01:29:38.159 --> 01:29:42.479 is in the weeds. This uses the snap Dragon eight 1912 01:29:42.840 --> 01:29:45.960 Elite I think, which is a really really new chip. 1913 01:29:46.359 --> 01:29:49.560 The Thor I think used the snap Dragon eight Gen two, 1914 01:29:49.680 --> 01:29:52.600 which is have been out for a minute, so people 1915 01:29:52.680 --> 01:29:55.520 in that scene have updated all of their cores and 1916 01:29:55.560 --> 01:29:57.239 stuff to work really well with the GIN two. 1917 01:29:57.640 --> 01:29:59.920 The Elites just early on in that process. 1918 01:30:00.479 --> 01:30:02.760 So all the stuff that happened with those previous snap 1919 01:30:02.880 --> 01:30:05.760 Dragon processors will happen here. It'll just take time. I 1920 01:30:06.119 --> 01:30:07.119 pretty sure that's the issue. 1921 01:30:07.279 --> 01:30:07.680 I'll say. 1922 01:30:07.760 --> 01:30:09.880 Just the ergonotics and everything right now, like the sticks 1923 01:30:09.920 --> 01:30:12.199 and everything feel fantastic. I mean, I have found that 1924 01:30:12.239 --> 01:30:15.159 the AI in stuff has been a higher quality than 1925 01:30:15.520 --> 01:30:17.439 some of the other companies have been trying out lately, 1926 01:30:17.560 --> 01:30:20.159 so still very interested in everything they've got coming out, 1927 01:30:20.239 --> 01:30:22.680 But the Thor is sexier alternative right now? 1928 01:30:23.239 --> 01:30:25.840 Does the ODE and three have active cooling? Just have 1929 01:30:25.960 --> 01:30:27.760 like like a fan running inside. 1930 01:30:27.479 --> 01:30:30.159 Of it that, Yes, it does have active cooling. 1931 01:30:30.359 --> 01:30:32.119 I'm actually looking on right now. Yeah, Yeah, it's got 1932 01:30:32.159 --> 01:30:32.600 active cooling. 1933 01:30:33.119 --> 01:30:34.800 Just a little interest because like the Yeah, the whole 1934 01:30:34.840 --> 01:30:36.399 thing with this new Elite I think is it's got 1935 01:30:36.439 --> 01:30:40.720 a very power efficient process on it. But yeah, they 1936 01:30:40.760 --> 01:30:42.600 probably are going to run that thing as high as 1937 01:30:42.640 --> 01:30:45.439 they can because it should be able to like really 1938 01:30:46.119 --> 01:30:48.720 handle quite a few emulators that other devices have struggled 1939 01:30:48.760 --> 01:30:51.199 with once all the support is there, but that'll take time. 1940 01:30:51.279 --> 01:30:53.600 Yeah, I've seen people mentioning things like PS three and 1941 01:30:53.600 --> 01:30:55.520 stuff like that. I haven't quite got around to messing 1942 01:30:55.560 --> 01:30:58.000 with that yet, but yeah, that PS two era, it 1943 01:30:58.119 --> 01:30:59.119 runs very very well. 1944 01:31:00.479 --> 01:31:03.479 I'm looking forward to uh getting my my Thor back. 1945 01:31:03.600 --> 01:31:05.960 I don't I won't be running out and getting an odin. 1946 01:31:06.079 --> 01:31:07.920 I have not gotten an odin up to this point 1947 01:31:09.159 --> 01:31:12.039 because every time I think about it, I'll just keep 1948 01:31:12.159 --> 01:31:14.520 using my steam deck for this. I'll save the hundreds 1949 01:31:14.560 --> 01:31:17.119 of dollars and just keep using my using my Steam deck, 1950 01:31:17.159 --> 01:31:18.640 which it mostly is going to do a lot of 1951 01:31:18.680 --> 01:31:21.239 the same stuff. And the support there is off the 1952 01:31:21.600 --> 01:31:24.079 off the charts, so I can kind of rely on 1953 01:31:24.119 --> 01:31:25.880 the community there in a lot of ways. And you 1954 01:31:25.960 --> 01:31:27.479 know PS three has been out running on that thing 1955 01:31:27.560 --> 01:31:29.880 from the beginning, so I don't need to be rash 1956 01:31:29.960 --> 01:31:32.000 and go out and get this thing. The thor serves 1957 01:31:32.039 --> 01:31:33.279 a very specific purpose for me. 1958 01:31:33.359 --> 01:31:37.439 Speaking about specific purpose, Jeff Crubb, you picked out something 1959 01:31:37.560 --> 01:31:41.039 that is very specific to you. You are you have 1960 01:31:41.159 --> 01:31:43.119 been using the Analog three D. 1961 01:31:44.479 --> 01:31:46.439 Yeah, so it's like I've been using it a lot 1962 01:31:46.479 --> 01:31:47.840 in the length the last week, and there's been some 1963 01:31:48.079 --> 01:31:51.039 updates to it. The ever drive got fully updated. It's 1964 01:31:51.039 --> 01:31:55.359 fully compatible now. That's been great. So the big thing 1965 01:31:55.439 --> 01:31:57.640 that did happen recently with that ever drive update is 1966 01:31:57.680 --> 01:31:59.920 they put a follow up update, a follow up up 1967 01:32:00.119 --> 01:32:04.159 date out for it that enables the unleashed power mode 1968 01:32:04.640 --> 01:32:07.840 to work on the Analog three D, which is basically 1969 01:32:07.960 --> 01:32:11.039 they're super overclocked. Basically, it's just like unlock the CPU, 1970 01:32:11.119 --> 01:32:13.680 unlock the GPU, and let these games run as good 1971 01:32:13.720 --> 01:32:17.000 as possible. And with that turned on, with thirty two 1972 01:32:17.079 --> 01:32:20.479 bit color turned on and d blur turned on, and 1973 01:32:20.560 --> 01:32:22.399 those are like the main ones that make a difference. 1974 01:32:24.239 --> 01:32:27.239 This is a it's an n sixty four pro. 1975 01:32:27.640 --> 01:32:28.319 It really is. 1976 01:32:28.560 --> 01:32:31.439 It is a mid gen refresh. I know the gen 1977 01:32:31.520 --> 01:32:33.159 and it feels like they just started the n sixty 1978 01:32:33.199 --> 01:32:37.399 four generation. We're already getting a mid gen refresh. But 1979 01:32:37.680 --> 01:32:40.359 it really is the best way to play in sixty 1980 01:32:40.399 --> 01:32:43.119 four games in the vast majority of cases, which is 1981 01:32:43.520 --> 01:32:45.439 not what I was expect I was expecting with this thing. 1982 01:32:45.520 --> 01:32:47.640 I was thinking I would get something that's just like 1983 01:32:48.239 --> 01:32:49.840 another way to play in sixty four. 1984 01:32:50.000 --> 01:32:50.279 It's not. 1985 01:32:50.479 --> 01:32:52.039 It's the best way to finally have a way to 1986 01:32:52.079 --> 01:32:54.079 play Mario sixty four in the year twenty twenty five. 1987 01:32:54.319 --> 01:32:57.119 Yes, exactly. That's the old thing is like, yeah, okay, 1988 01:32:57.159 --> 01:32:59.359 we're sick os, we're doing this. We all know what's 1989 01:32:59.359 --> 01:33:01.039 going on here. I just want to know the reason 1990 01:33:01.079 --> 01:33:03.000 to spend money on the Nintendo sixty four because I'm 1991 01:33:03.000 --> 01:33:06.319 nostalgic and stupid. It's not that, it's more than that. 1992 01:33:06.520 --> 01:33:08.039 It is like the. 1993 01:33:09.640 --> 01:33:14.439 Performance of stuff like Perfect Dark matched up with the accuracy, 1994 01:33:14.560 --> 01:33:16.880 which is not something you get from most emulators, like 1995 01:33:16.960 --> 01:33:20.319 they most emulators mess up stuff like trilinear filtering, which 1996 01:33:20.399 --> 01:33:23.960 makes the textures look right. This gets all that stuff 1997 01:33:24.039 --> 01:33:26.239 right and then runs the games better. Now you're not 1998 01:33:26.279 --> 01:33:30.119 going to get the upscaled resolution. It would be nice 1999 01:33:30.119 --> 01:33:33.239 to have that option, I suppose, but I would probably 2000 01:33:33.359 --> 01:33:36.279 still choose to run in sixty four games at their 2001 01:33:36.399 --> 01:33:40.159 original resolution because that does a good job of hiding 2002 01:33:40.279 --> 01:33:41.960 things and it looks good when you put on the 2003 01:33:42.000 --> 01:33:44.199 CRT filters, which is how I would mostly play this. 2004 01:33:44.840 --> 01:33:47.119 And it's it's just an ideal in. 2005 01:33:47.199 --> 01:33:49.920 Sixty four in just about every way, and mix revisiting 2006 01:33:49.960 --> 01:33:51.399 that library really really nice. 2007 01:33:51.680 --> 01:33:53.479 It is my favorite way now too. And like GB, 2008 01:33:53.520 --> 01:33:55.119 you and I both have a million ways to play 2009 01:33:55.159 --> 01:33:58.399 sixty four games. I mean we've got retro tanks, multiple 2010 01:33:58.560 --> 01:34:01.640 and you know and stuff. We've got so many different 2011 01:34:01.640 --> 01:34:02.960 ways to do this. I got a mister that has 2012 01:34:02.960 --> 01:34:04.600 a four core and everything on it. Now, Yeah, like 2013 01:34:04.840 --> 01:34:08.079 the ID have this sleek thing that sits underneath my TV, 2014 01:34:08.479 --> 01:34:11.000 just one HDMI cable out and it has both Bluetooth 2015 01:34:11.159 --> 01:34:13.399 and it can just like in the original controllers there, 2016 01:34:13.720 --> 01:34:16.000 and it just looks incredible and has all these great 2017 01:34:16.039 --> 01:34:18.279 options like that. This is my favorite way to play 2018 01:34:18.279 --> 01:34:19.760 in sixty four games right now. And I know I 2019 01:34:19.840 --> 01:34:22.720 mentioned before on the BombCast that my ever drive was 2020 01:34:22.800 --> 01:34:25.119 not working with it. I didn't go ahead. Yeah, oh 2021 01:34:25.199 --> 01:34:27.960 they have the ever Drive. Yeah oh, I didn't know 2022 01:34:27.960 --> 01:34:28.720 they have to drive. 2023 01:34:28.920 --> 01:34:31.399 That's what that was saying. Yeah, I bought a summer 2024 01:34:31.439 --> 01:34:33.159 cart too, because they has better sixty four D D 2025 01:34:33.199 --> 01:34:35.680 sports not here yet, but they updated the ever drive 2026 01:34:36.159 --> 01:34:38.720 so that you can get the full support of unleashed 2027 01:34:38.800 --> 01:34:40.800 in everything. Yeah, they did that in the last week. 2028 01:34:40.920 --> 01:34:42.880 Oh geez, that's sound. That's sound. That's what I'm using it. 2029 01:34:42.920 --> 01:34:45.479 When the quick look goes up, people see my backups. 2030 01:34:45.199 --> 01:34:46.600 Link me to whatever I do to the ever drive 2031 01:34:46.640 --> 01:34:48.560 because yeah, I like, it's super simple. 2032 01:34:48.600 --> 01:34:50.399 You'll have to boot it up for the first time 2033 01:34:50.439 --> 01:34:52.800 with the new bootloader on original hardware. 2034 01:34:52.840 --> 01:34:55.399 But once you do that, you're talking about that. Yeah yeah, okay, yeah, 2035 01:34:55.479 --> 01:34:57.439 but no, the Anaalog three D is just fantastic. Like 2036 01:34:57.720 --> 01:34:59.920 they just continue to be like and if I'm going 2037 01:34:59.960 --> 01:35:01.960 to play like a GBA game, I'm doing it on 2038 01:35:02.039 --> 01:35:04.479 the pocket, I'm playing a sixty four game, I'm playing 2039 01:35:04.560 --> 01:35:06.439 it on the on the three D. 2040 01:35:06.680 --> 01:35:10.000 It's great and I'll think I think this is Analog's 2041 01:35:10.039 --> 01:35:13.199 best products so far. The pocket is so versatile and 2042 01:35:13.319 --> 01:35:17.399 open and really really good. But it's like something about 2043 01:35:17.399 --> 01:35:20.039 this of them sort of solving problems with the N 2044 01:35:20.119 --> 01:35:23.159 sixty four in a way that most other things have not, 2045 01:35:23.720 --> 01:35:26.520 and that improved performance. I keep going back to it, 2046 01:35:26.560 --> 01:35:28.199 but I kind of can't overstate how much of a 2047 01:35:28.279 --> 01:35:31.479 difference it makes. It's huge. So they really came through 2048 01:35:31.520 --> 01:35:33.960 with this thing. And I don't think the two hundred 2049 01:35:33.960 --> 01:35:35.760 and fifty that I paid for it was too much. 2050 01:35:35.880 --> 01:35:37.880 That's about the right price for it. I know it 2051 01:35:37.960 --> 01:35:40.520 just went up to two seventy, but even then, my 2052 01:35:40.600 --> 01:35:42.359 God's that seems like a pretty fair price. 2053 01:35:42.279 --> 01:35:42.840 For what this is. 2054 01:35:43.560 --> 01:35:46.560 Well, I'm very happy for you, guys. I'm also happy 2055 01:35:46.680 --> 01:35:49.239 that it's time for the news. 2056 01:35:49.960 --> 01:35:54.279 The news keeps coming, and just most top coming. 2057 01:35:56.920 --> 01:35:57.199 News. 2058 01:35:58.279 --> 01:36:01.279 All right, let's do this news. Capcom is reportedly working 2059 01:36:01.359 --> 01:36:04.319 on a new Dead Rise in sequel starring Frank West. 2060 01:36:04.439 --> 01:36:07.560 A new Dead Rising game featuring the original protagonist Frank 2061 01:36:07.640 --> 01:36:11.960 West is is reportedly in development at Capcom. This is 2062 01:36:12.039 --> 01:36:14.640 not a remaster or remake, but a new main entry. 2063 01:36:14.680 --> 01:36:18.600 According to MP First and VGC sources, The sequel was 2064 01:36:18.640 --> 01:36:21.359 said to take place in Hollywood with a massive or 2065 01:36:21.399 --> 01:36:24.479 inside of a massive inclused movie studio a lot, so 2066 01:36:24.760 --> 01:36:27.399 it's a leisure suit Larry box office bus, like this 2067 01:36:27.479 --> 01:36:31.159 is what we're going to h Yeah, it sounds like 2068 01:36:31.239 --> 01:36:32.640 this is the kind of thing where this could be 2069 01:36:32.760 --> 01:36:36.560 popping up here pretty soon. They did do that remake 2070 01:36:36.640 --> 01:36:40.000 Slash remaster, mostly a remaster of that first one recently, 2071 01:36:40.079 --> 01:36:44.960 and that was well received. I'm I'm ready for more 2072 01:36:45.000 --> 01:36:46.479 Dead Rising. I think it's the kind of thing that 2073 01:36:46.560 --> 01:36:48.119 it makes sense for Capcom right now. 2074 01:36:48.439 --> 01:36:50.800 It's been long enough. Like I remember, I remember being 2075 01:36:50.880 --> 01:36:53.159 one of the defenders of three. You know that Xbox 2076 01:36:53.239 --> 01:36:55.359 one launch around there. 2077 01:36:55.920 --> 01:36:56.840 I think it was a launch game. 2078 01:36:56.960 --> 01:36:59.359 I like, it didn't have the most personality of the series, 2079 01:36:59.399 --> 01:37:01.520 but I still thought was super fun. And then something 2080 01:37:01.560 --> 01:37:04.439 about four, even though it wasn't four Frank West, it 2081 01:37:04.560 --> 01:37:07.640 was like Chris Frank West, you know, like general theme. 2082 01:37:07.960 --> 01:37:10.000 I think. So I didn't play that one, though. 2083 01:37:10.000 --> 01:37:11.720 I played enough to just know that it wasn't for me, 2084 01:37:11.760 --> 01:37:13.880 and I'd like to go back to that and see 2085 01:37:13.960 --> 01:37:16.680 what that did wrong. But especially after the deluxe remaster, 2086 01:37:16.880 --> 01:37:19.600 like Man Dead Rising, there's really nothing quite like it, 2087 01:37:19.760 --> 01:37:21.880 and I yes, there's definitely room for more of that. 2088 01:37:22.880 --> 01:37:24.960 So it does sound like this will go back to 2089 01:37:25.199 --> 01:37:28.039 the clock mechanic, the time mechanic of the first one 2090 01:37:28.319 --> 01:37:31.159 for this new game, and it's like, yeah, this one, 2091 01:37:31.159 --> 01:37:32.720 I can kind of see it. I think the idea 2092 01:37:33.000 --> 01:37:35.359 is the enemy that has trapped you, the villain that's 2093 01:37:35.359 --> 01:37:38.000 trapped you in this movie. Studio is trying to film 2094 01:37:38.079 --> 01:37:41.119 the perfect movie, and my mind keeps going back to 2095 01:37:41.279 --> 01:37:43.680 Stuntman of like trying to get the scenes beat the 2096 01:37:43.760 --> 01:37:44.479 right and stunt man. 2097 01:37:44.560 --> 01:37:47.680 Or super Larry Box Office Bust or well. 2098 01:37:47.680 --> 01:37:49.319 Yeah I got I just don't want to be so obvious, 2099 01:37:49.359 --> 01:37:51.880 but yeah, leisure suit Larry Box Office Bust, where it's 2100 01:37:51.920 --> 01:37:55.319 like you're trying to do these runs as you learn 2101 01:37:55.399 --> 01:37:56.960 the game, where it's like, okay, now I can go 2102 01:37:57.000 --> 01:37:59.119 through this scene and I just nailed that perfectly. Let's 2103 01:37:59.119 --> 01:38:00.840 get to this next one. I don't know it quite 2104 01:38:00.840 --> 01:38:03.039 as well, but maybe I'll get lucky. I could see 2105 01:38:03.079 --> 01:38:06.319 that structure working really well with something like that, so 2106 01:38:07.239 --> 01:38:10.960 kind of exciting, and Capcom themselves are making it like 2107 01:38:11.079 --> 01:38:13.720 it's being done internally. It sounds like I think they're 2108 01:38:13.720 --> 01:38:15.439 going to try to make this like one of the 2109 01:38:15.640 --> 01:38:18.520 other pillars that holds up next to Resident Evil and 2110 01:38:19.039 --> 01:38:20.880 Monster Hunter and stuff like that. I don't think it 2111 01:38:20.960 --> 01:38:23.560 could reach that tier, but they'll try to give it 2112 01:38:23.640 --> 01:38:26.439 a modern glow up, and I think there's a potential for. 2113 01:38:26.520 --> 01:38:27.119 It to hit. Yeah. 2114 01:38:27.159 --> 01:38:29.560 I think there's a lot of runway for Dead Rising 2115 01:38:29.640 --> 01:38:34.159 to contemporize, right Like, I think there's stuff that could 2116 01:38:34.239 --> 01:38:36.039 be added in terms of quality of life. 2117 01:38:36.159 --> 01:38:37.880 So that's excitingers Goose. 2118 01:38:39.039 --> 01:38:43.039 Indeed, trademark control Resident appears to have been filed by Remedy. 2119 01:38:43.920 --> 01:38:47.960 This is likely a new control game. It's also the 2120 01:38:48.039 --> 01:38:49.920 kind of thing that could pop up at like the 2121 01:38:50.039 --> 01:38:50.760 Game Awards. 2122 01:38:51.479 --> 01:38:51.640 There. 2123 01:38:51.800 --> 01:38:53.840 It's hard to like read too much into the timing 2124 01:38:54.000 --> 01:38:57.880 of trademark filings, but they do occasionally happen right before 2125 01:38:57.960 --> 01:39:01.960 the first public mention and we are mere days away 2126 01:39:02.239 --> 01:39:06.000 from the game awards. So does it feel like time 2127 01:39:06.119 --> 01:39:08.479 for new control to you guys, because it does to me. 2128 01:39:08.720 --> 01:39:12.399 Yes, I mean they I think, what was that multiplay 2129 01:39:12.479 --> 01:39:16.399 FBC or whatever? Yeah, yeah, maybe that's why in my 2130 01:39:16.439 --> 01:39:17.920 head it's like I've been that long. But that's a 2131 01:39:17.960 --> 01:39:19.600 totally different thing obviously, Yeah. 2132 01:39:19.439 --> 01:39:21.960 It was a different team and everything. Yeah, yeah, I 2133 01:39:22.039 --> 01:39:24.520 think I think it makes sense for sure. 2134 01:39:24.680 --> 01:39:27.640 I think the d l C. 2135 01:39:28.079 --> 01:39:31.000 What was the last controlled d l C. I don't 2136 01:39:31.039 --> 01:39:32.960 remember what it was called when. 2137 01:39:35.399 --> 01:39:36.520 That experience? 2138 01:39:36.720 --> 01:39:43.479 Yeah a w Yeah, yeah, there is a gotcha there 2139 01:39:43.800 --> 01:39:47.000 anime wife who control game out right now? 2140 01:39:47.239 --> 01:39:48.199 Jane, we have to stop you. 2141 01:39:48.840 --> 01:39:52.439 What can I do? I don't understand were going to 2142 01:39:52.520 --> 01:39:53.760 cut your internet cables? Jane? 2143 01:39:54.840 --> 01:39:57.520 Say that again slowly and make eye contact. 2144 01:39:57.840 --> 01:40:04.560 There is a gotcha anime lady wife who control game 2145 01:40:04.720 --> 01:40:05.600 out right now. 2146 01:40:07.439 --> 01:40:10.079 You know, I heard you eleven syllables, but it just 2147 01:40:10.279 --> 01:40:13.159 I don't know, it felt a lot longer forever. Unpack 2148 01:40:13.279 --> 01:40:14.520 this carefully. 2149 01:40:16.159 --> 01:40:21.159 There's an anime wife who gotscha control game out right now? Right? 2150 01:40:21.239 --> 01:40:23.199 So what does that mean? I I know what some 2151 01:40:23.359 --> 01:40:25.119 of that means, but what does it present? Like? 2152 01:40:25.319 --> 01:40:26.840 Like what are we what are we talking about? I 2153 01:40:26.880 --> 01:40:27.119 don't know. 2154 01:40:27.239 --> 01:40:29.800 I haven't explored it because I know people will judge. 2155 01:40:30.319 --> 01:40:31.760 Well, what make songs about? 2156 01:40:31.840 --> 01:40:31.960 Right? 2157 01:40:32.119 --> 01:40:32.359 Ooh? 2158 01:40:33.359 --> 01:40:34.399 Control? Right? 2159 01:40:37.119 --> 01:40:37.159 What? 2160 01:40:37.680 --> 01:40:41.439 Right? I'm gonna get out of here. That's my time, folks. Listen, 2161 01:40:41.720 --> 01:40:44.640 that's all for me. But Jan, how is it control? 2162 01:40:44.960 --> 01:40:45.000 Like? 2163 01:40:45.159 --> 01:40:46.000 What are you saying? 2164 01:40:46.439 --> 01:40:48.800 I think like it's in terms of the gameplay, like 2165 01:40:48.880 --> 01:40:54.119 you're shooting, you're like Telekanisa stuff. Uh okay, I swear 2166 01:40:54.159 --> 01:40:55.880 I didn't have a fever dream about this. 2167 01:40:56.600 --> 01:40:59.880 No, I believe it exists. Anything's possible in twenty twenty. 2168 01:41:00.560 --> 01:41:02.800 Of course, now that I'm trying to panically google this 2169 01:41:02.920 --> 01:41:05.000 to prove myself, I'm not finding it. 2170 01:41:07.239 --> 01:41:10.159 That doesn't mean anything, you know, it could mean something. 2171 01:41:10.359 --> 01:41:14.760 Nintendo is acquiring band dynamicos Singapore Studio and we'll rename 2172 01:41:14.800 --> 01:41:16.560 it Nintendo Studio Singapore. 2173 01:41:17.039 --> 01:41:17.159 Uh. 2174 01:41:17.560 --> 01:41:21.159 This is Yeah, it's a small acquisition. They're spending like 2175 01:41:21.239 --> 01:41:24.960 seven hundred and seventy thousand dollars, which is like probably 2176 01:41:25.000 --> 01:41:27.680 barely going to cover lawyer's fees after all, this like 2177 01:41:27.800 --> 01:41:30.520 deal is done. The ideal, the idea seems to be 2178 01:41:30.600 --> 01:41:32.920 here that this was a studio that helped out a 2179 01:41:32.960 --> 01:41:35.840 bunch of companies, like making assets. But it worked on 2180 01:41:35.960 --> 01:41:37.880 Pickment or I'm sorry, I think it worked on uh 2181 01:41:38.720 --> 01:41:41.720 the uh was the shoot or Splatoon. It worked on 2182 01:41:41.800 --> 01:41:44.680 Splatoon assets for Nintendo and a few other things. 2183 01:41:45.239 --> 01:41:46.520 But specifically. 2184 01:41:47.720 --> 01:41:48.760 Is what the game is called. 2185 01:41:50.039 --> 01:41:52.119 This is the anime anime Wife Food Got Your Game? 2186 01:41:52.199 --> 01:41:55.359 Yeah, it's part of it's part of the hoyoverse. 2187 01:41:56.119 --> 01:41:58.600 I bet it's actually that's what tinga scooze really is. 2188 01:41:59.000 --> 01:41:59.119 Uh. 2189 01:41:59.520 --> 01:42:01.920 Anyway, it sounds like Natata's like, we'll start paying these 2190 01:42:01.920 --> 01:42:04.960 people's salary instead, since you might be considering closing them 2191 01:42:05.039 --> 01:42:06.479 down and we don't want that because they did some 2192 01:42:06.640 --> 01:42:08.880 work for us, so we're going to take this on instead. 2193 01:42:09.000 --> 01:42:11.920 This is not some This is nowhere near like an 2194 01:42:11.960 --> 01:42:14.800 Activision acquisition or something like that. It is just them 2195 01:42:15.039 --> 01:42:17.880 shoring up the support for their future games. It does 2196 01:42:17.920 --> 01:42:20.159 show that Nintendo is mindful of these things though, like 2197 01:42:20.800 --> 01:42:23.359 we want to have a strong pipeline of being able 2198 01:42:23.399 --> 01:42:25.920 to develop games, and we use a lot of external partners, 2199 01:42:26.000 --> 01:42:28.720 and if they're threatened unless their alpha dream, we're going 2200 01:42:28.800 --> 01:42:30.399 to step in and do something about it and make 2201 01:42:30.439 --> 01:42:31.800 sure that they can keep making games for us. 2202 01:42:31.880 --> 01:42:33.920 And they continue their run of having the most creative 2203 01:42:34.000 --> 01:42:35.000 names for their studios. 2204 01:42:35.720 --> 01:42:38.520 I mean in SS Nintendo Studio Singapore, US boy I just. 2205 01:42:39.720 --> 01:42:45.800 Studio B four, where it is business, all business. 2206 01:42:46.600 --> 01:42:49.600 They're in Indiana. Oh yeah, weird. 2207 01:42:50.159 --> 01:42:50.279 Uh. 2208 01:42:50.760 --> 01:42:53.159 Splitter Cell remake has a new director and it's the 2209 01:42:53.279 --> 01:42:56.039 same one who left three years ago. Sounds like just 2210 01:42:56.119 --> 01:42:59.720 things are going swimmingly over there at Ubisoft, who reappointed 2211 01:42:59.800 --> 01:43:02.960 Day Grivell as the game director for the Splinter Cell remake, 2212 01:43:03.039 --> 01:43:06.239 a role he previously held from November twenty twenty one 2213 01:43:06.520 --> 01:43:09.680 to October twenty twenty two. Drivell announced his return to 2214 01:43:09.800 --> 01:43:13.840 Ubisoft Toronto on LinkedIn, calling it a very special team 2215 01:43:13.920 --> 01:43:17.840 and project. Ubisoft confirmed the remake in December twenty twenty one, 2216 01:43:18.399 --> 01:43:21.159 stating it would be built with Snowdrop Engine to update 2217 01:43:21.239 --> 01:43:25.479 the two thousand and two original with new generation visuals, gameplay, 2218 01:43:25.560 --> 01:43:29.439 and dynamic lighting. Since sharing concept are in November twenty 2219 01:43:29.520 --> 01:43:34.079 twenty two, there has been little information, so yeah, I 2220 01:43:34.119 --> 01:43:37.039 guess they're still working on that. This at this point, 2221 01:43:37.119 --> 01:43:39.720 this story of ubusoffian like we were working on a game. 2222 01:43:40.560 --> 01:43:43.399 It'll happen one day, we promise, is like something they've 2223 01:43:43.439 --> 01:43:45.920 done so many times with like Beyond Good and Evil. 2224 01:43:46.319 --> 01:43:48.319 And I guess that Prince of Persia sansa Time remake, 2225 01:43:48.359 --> 01:43:50.159 which does seem like it might be coming out soon, 2226 01:43:50.520 --> 01:43:52.439 but I just I'm sick of it. Just tell me 2227 01:43:52.479 --> 01:43:54.760 when the game actually has something going on that we 2228 01:43:54.840 --> 01:43:55.920 can really look at. 2229 01:43:56.119 --> 01:43:57.840 They should make the first splinter so good this time. 2230 01:43:58.760 --> 01:44:01.520 Okay, that's is this this is not?

People that was like reporting this 2282 01:46:04.479 --> 01:46:05.439 is related to Diablo. 2283 01:46:05.720 --> 01:46:09.000 That makes sense. A Diablo DLC drop, of course, that's 2284 01:46:09.039 --> 01:46:10.520 the kind of thing that would do. They have a 2285 01:46:10.560 --> 01:46:13.600 lot of money over there at Blizzard. Apparently Diablo has 2286 01:46:13.640 --> 01:46:18.840 been ruled out as well. Uh so maybe it is 2287 01:46:18.880 --> 01:46:20.800 still Diablo. I don't know. But if it's not those 2288 01:46:20.880 --> 01:46:24.720 two games, it's got to be Bubbsy. Right, Yeah, this 2289 01:46:24.960 --> 01:46:26.760 is cool. It could being Goose. 2290 01:46:29.680 --> 01:46:34.399 I mean it's either so here's the thing, right, this 2291 01:46:34.600 --> 01:46:37.640 is either said that it's just so insane that Wellings 2292 01:46:37.960 --> 01:46:40.600 is now just like the catch all for anything we 2293 01:46:40.720 --> 01:46:41.800 keep we don't have words for it. 2294 01:46:42.880 --> 01:46:52.359 Yeah, is very problematic. Yeah, well, I feel like I 2295 01:46:52.680 --> 01:46:53.439 feel like it's. 2296 01:46:55.079 --> 01:46:58.359 I don't know, it feels like very obviously a paid, 2297 01:46:58.479 --> 01:47:00.720 bought and sold thing. And so when you have something 2298 01:47:00.760 --> 01:47:02.359 like that, is it like is it the weird thing 2299 01:47:02.399 --> 01:47:04.760 where it's like it's the thing where it's like they 2300 01:47:04.800 --> 01:47:06.880 couldn't say no to the amount of money that they 2301 01:47:06.920 --> 01:47:11.319 were going to offer to just you know, uh epp, 2302 01:47:11.439 --> 01:47:14.359 this like statue thing or is this a game franchise 2303 01:47:14.439 --> 01:47:16.119 studio that people actually hear about? 2304 01:47:17.000 --> 01:47:19.199 I mean it could be a little column A column B. 2305 01:47:19.399 --> 01:47:22.079 I don't know it's I don't think people should get 2306 01:47:22.079 --> 01:47:24.520 their hopes up because the odds are That could be 2307 01:47:25.920 --> 01:47:29.800 like where wins meet style game. It is like a 2308 01:47:29.920 --> 01:47:33.000 gigantic game that maybe mulbil to play that we've never 2309 01:47:33.119 --> 01:47:36.079 heard of. It could just be a collaboration with that. 2310 01:47:37.199 --> 01:47:38.840 Maybe maybe it's Echo the Dolphin. 2311 01:47:39.039 --> 01:47:41.319 Do you remember when Michael Jackson was going to do 2312 01:47:41.399 --> 01:47:44.439 that comeback tour and he was planning for a fifty 2313 01:47:44.479 --> 01:47:47.520 foot robot of himself to roam the desert around Las Vegas. 2314 01:47:47.880 --> 01:47:48.760 No, I don't remember this. 2315 01:47:48.840 --> 01:47:50.800 I remember thinking that was a really cool idea. I 2316 01:47:50.960 --> 01:47:52.439 liked the idea, and I wish they would have made 2317 01:47:52.479 --> 01:47:53.199 that giant robot. 2318 01:47:53.760 --> 01:47:56.600 Damn, he should have a mech it lights up at night. 2319 01:47:56.680 --> 01:47:57.159 That's neat. 2320 01:47:58.199 --> 01:48:00.520 Yeah, them control. 2321 01:48:02.239 --> 01:48:04.600 Maybe you think so, I don't think I don't. 2322 01:48:04.640 --> 01:48:05.319 I don't think so. 2323 01:48:05.479 --> 01:48:06.039 But it could be. 2324 01:48:06.199 --> 01:48:09.439 I just like it's the The Diablo made so much 2325 01:48:09.479 --> 01:48:12.199 sense because it just looked satanic. So and it's got 2326 01:48:12.279 --> 01:48:14.359 like skulls on it or whatever, or is it just 2327 01:48:14.399 --> 01:48:15.680 people's heads is like a bust. 2328 01:48:15.720 --> 01:48:17.880 I don't know it's I don't see it being God 2329 01:48:17.960 --> 01:48:21.439 of it doesn't it's not Got of War. It's not 2330 01:48:21.520 --> 01:48:27.600 Got War. Yeah, it's pretty metal. Oh sorrows, says Lexie. 2331 01:48:28.119 --> 01:48:32.399 I could see that, George, Yeah, sorrows. 2332 01:48:34.000 --> 01:48:36.479 It's got like a I could see. I mean, I 2333 01:48:36.560 --> 01:48:38.479 think this door is gonna open up. I think someone's 2334 01:48:38.520 --> 01:48:39.159 gonna come out of it. 2335 01:48:39.640 --> 01:48:41.800 Michael jackis dule it will be half Life three. 2336 01:48:42.319 --> 01:48:44.720 Actually I'm I'm almost positive it couldn't be Half Life three. 2337 01:48:44.760 --> 01:48:48.039 They wouldn't do anything this way way. 2338 01:48:48.760 --> 01:48:52.000 Yes, you're gonna open up your steam deck and it's like, oh, 2339 01:48:52.039 --> 01:48:55.039 it's been there the whole time. Yeah, incredible. 2340 01:48:57.039 --> 01:48:59.640 All right, let's see here. Your metal Gears producer says 2341 01:48:59.680 --> 01:49:02.600 he's decided on future remix. Middle Gear Solid Flour would 2342 01:49:02.600 --> 01:49:05.560 be a real challenge. Basically, what they what they're saying 2343 01:49:05.680 --> 01:49:09.159 is they did Delta and now they are assessing things 2344 01:49:09.399 --> 01:49:12.119 and in the planning like early planning stages for what 2345 01:49:12.279 --> 01:49:16.359 would come next. He did say that middle Gear Solid 2346 01:49:16.439 --> 01:49:20.159 Flour would be a challenge, especially because they probably would 2347 01:49:20.199 --> 01:49:21.600 not be able to do the thing they did with 2348 01:49:21.880 --> 01:49:25.800 with three, which is like let's just apply a code 2349 01:49:25.840 --> 01:49:28.439 of paint on top because the code is so wonky 2350 01:49:28.600 --> 01:49:31.520 for four, that's his words, not mine. Actually he didn't 2351 01:49:31.520 --> 01:49:34.600 say wonky, but that's basically what he said. It is 2352 01:49:35.880 --> 01:49:37.840 also kind of it's like that is going to be 2353 01:49:38.000 --> 01:49:41.000 the marque game in volume two, so people are going 2354 01:49:41.079 --> 01:49:43.680 to be playing the original version of that in some way. 2355 01:49:43.880 --> 01:49:46.359 I'm assuming when the volume two collection comes out here 2356 01:49:46.399 --> 01:49:50.039 in the near future, something they reconfirmed as well. So, yeah, Dan, 2357 01:49:50.880 --> 01:49:53.359 where do they go with middle Gear next? After this, 2358 01:49:53.600 --> 01:49:56.239 especially after like having some space from Delta and being 2359 01:49:56.239 --> 01:49:57.439 able to look around a little bit and be like, 2360 01:49:57.640 --> 01:49:58.479 where should they go? 2361 01:49:58.560 --> 01:50:00.199 I mean, the Pie in the Sky would be one, 2362 01:50:00.439 --> 01:50:02.000 But yeah, one you have to just kind of like 2363 01:50:02.319 --> 01:50:04.439 full on Twin Snake style. But like, like I think, 2364 01:50:04.479 --> 01:50:06.039 I think the coolest thing they could do is a 2365 01:50:06.159 --> 01:50:09.600 full on remake of one, but faithful, you know, I 2366 01:50:09.760 --> 01:50:12.079 like Twin Snakes. A lot of people don't, but I 2367 01:50:12.199 --> 01:50:15.239 do think a full remake of one would be incredible. 2368 01:50:15.479 --> 01:50:16.760 Other than that, you could just do kind of the 2369 01:50:16.800 --> 01:50:19.840 Delta treatment for two. You know, it's the same console, 2370 01:50:20.000 --> 01:50:22.720 probably the same type of you know, backbones on that one. 2371 01:50:22.880 --> 01:50:25.600 But yeah, four, I would just do an order. I 2372 01:50:25.640 --> 01:50:28.760 would just do an order chronologically, so go from three 2373 01:50:28.840 --> 01:50:30.800 to one to two to four, I know I'm skipping 2374 01:50:30.960 --> 01:50:32.720 peace Walker because it doesn't matter. 2375 01:50:34.560 --> 01:50:34.760 Yeah. 2376 01:50:36.159 --> 01:50:40.159 So yeah, I got metal Grass on here, and I 2377 01:50:40.239 --> 01:50:41.720 was tempted to maybe start playing it. 2378 01:50:44.079 --> 01:50:45.960 Uh, peace Walker is the one you want to play 2379 01:50:45.960 --> 01:50:47.439 co op, right, Dan, I do want. 2380 01:50:47.319 --> 01:50:49.159 To try that, just because I've never played peace Walker 2381 01:50:49.199 --> 01:50:52.199 because it was on the fucking PSP. But uh, I 2382 01:50:52.279 --> 01:50:54.920 mean Greg Miller's best game of all time. Yeah, the 2383 01:50:55.000 --> 01:50:57.960 craziest thing he's ever said. And he continues to say, Yes, 2384 01:50:58.000 --> 01:51:00.159 I do want to do co op peace Walker. Her 2385 01:51:00.199 --> 01:51:02.159 on this website with with the compadres. 2386 01:51:02.920 --> 01:51:04.920 All right, I don't know Padres will write again. 2387 01:51:05.760 --> 01:51:05.880 Uh. 2388 01:51:06.600 --> 01:51:09.880 Okay, here's cut scenes with the A comic book. 2389 01:51:10.159 --> 01:51:10.359 Eh. 2390 01:51:11.199 --> 01:51:14.159 Yeah, but that's because Hindeo Kojima is busy with his 2391 01:51:14.319 --> 01:51:18.319 new role in Hollywood. Uh in Zutopia two's Japanese dub, 2392 01:51:18.319 --> 01:51:20.319 where he will be replacing a Hollywood star. 2393 01:51:20.279 --> 01:51:24.560 Rmon Is he replacing Roman Reigns or the Zebras? Hold 2394 01:51:24.640 --> 01:51:25.600 in There, hold on There? 2395 01:51:26.000 --> 01:51:29.760 Deo Kojima has confirmed the he voices the character Paul 2396 01:51:30.199 --> 01:51:33.359 Molda Brandt, a mole in the Zutopia Police Department for 2397 01:51:33.399 --> 01:51:36.399 the Japanese dub of Zutopia two. The film, which released 2398 01:51:36.439 --> 01:51:39.199 internationally on November twenty eighth. Blah blah blah. Uh that 2399 01:51:39.439 --> 01:51:42.319 I believe that is the role done by Josh Gadd, 2400 01:51:42.359 --> 01:51:45.880 which confirms what I've always said that Hideo Kojima is 2401 01:51:46.039 --> 01:51:47.399 Japan's Josh Gadd. 2402 01:51:48.159 --> 01:51:49.760 A lot of people are saying it. It's not brave 2403 01:51:49.800 --> 01:51:50.399 of you to say it. 2404 01:51:51.000 --> 01:51:53.439 Alight, Listen, I think I'm a hero, you know. 2405 01:51:53.680 --> 01:51:55.039 I think Josh Gadd gets. 2406 01:51:54.880 --> 01:51:55.520 A bad rap. 2407 01:51:56.159 --> 01:51:56.600 He is. 2408 01:51:56.640 --> 01:51:58.920 There's going to be a version of this movie where 2409 01:51:59.079 --> 01:52:02.119 it stars at the same time Hideo Kajima, Roman Reigns 2410 01:52:02.159 --> 01:52:02.760 and Seampunk. 2411 01:52:04.560 --> 01:52:06.600 You could probably mishmash that up if you need to. 2412 01:52:06.800 --> 01:52:08.920 I mean, they are the Zebras in that one. They 2413 01:52:08.960 --> 01:52:10.039 are Zebra cops. 2414 01:52:10.079 --> 01:52:12.000 I think together that sounds. 2415 01:52:11.800 --> 01:52:14.960 Like I didn't know that. Yeah, I guess if you 2416 01:52:15.560 --> 01:52:18.840 watch the credits of the Japanese dub, they would show 2417 01:52:18.840 --> 01:52:21.439 the American voice cast as well, So in one credits 2418 01:52:21.479 --> 01:52:24.960 scroll there'd be Okay, Hideo Kajima and the Zebras. That's 2419 01:52:25.000 --> 01:52:25.680 that's funny to me. 2420 01:52:25.800 --> 01:52:30.840 Okay Horses. The upsetting horror game, previously banned on Steam 2421 01:52:30.880 --> 01:52:33.439 gets Last Minute, banned from Epic Game Store as well. 2422 01:52:34.479 --> 01:52:38.399 The controversial horse horror game Horses has been banned from 2423 01:52:38.399 --> 01:52:43.119 both Steam and the Epic Game Store. Developer Santa Reggione 2424 01:52:43.640 --> 01:52:46.960 reported that Steam banned the game after submitting an unfinished build, 2425 01:52:47.720 --> 01:52:51.000 vaguely citing content guidelines and a rule against depicting sexual 2426 01:52:51.039 --> 01:52:53.920 content involving a minor. So let's hold up, like, what 2427 01:52:54.079 --> 01:52:56.600 is that there is a scene in the game, or 2428 01:52:56.680 --> 01:52:58.239 there was a scene in the game, it's actually been 2429 01:52:58.359 --> 01:53:02.520 changed where a a naked woman with a horse head 2430 01:53:03.760 --> 01:53:06.039 was carrying around a child on her shoulders. And it's 2431 01:53:06.039 --> 01:53:11.159 supposed to be introspective and an illusion. It's a metaphor. 2432 01:53:11.800 --> 01:53:17.079 It is not sexual in traditional terms, but it was 2433 01:53:17.119 --> 01:53:21.239 against steams guidelines, so the game was changed by the developer. 2434 01:53:21.279 --> 01:53:23.039 He made it to adults instead of one of the 2435 01:53:23.359 --> 01:53:26.520 the person on the shoulder being a kid. And Steam's like, well, no, 2436 01:53:26.680 --> 01:53:28.840 too late, you already did it once. We're not gonna 2437 01:53:29.199 --> 01:53:31.520 We're not going to reverse our decision now, even though 2438 01:53:31.560 --> 01:53:34.640 you complied with our guidelines. Epics like, we'll host it, 2439 01:53:35.479 --> 01:53:37.279 we're gonna put you on the Epic Game Store instead, 2440 01:53:37.720 --> 01:53:40.640 and then Epic changed their mind at the very last minute, 2441 01:53:40.640 --> 01:53:42.800 apparently like an hour before it was going to go live, 2442 01:53:43.159 --> 01:53:46.239 they changed it as well. This is like, especially on Steam, 2443 01:53:46.319 --> 01:53:48.279 this has brought up a lot of conversations, like there 2444 01:53:48.319 --> 01:53:53.000 are so many games with like just rampant sex of 2445 01:53:53.079 --> 01:53:57.039 all kinds, characters that appear to like as if they 2446 01:53:57.079 --> 01:54:00.760 could be miners, especially in anime style games. Where's the 2447 01:54:00.880 --> 01:54:03.439 line drawn here? And why is this game that is 2448 01:54:03.520 --> 01:54:05.960 clearly trying to explore something and it is an adult 2449 01:54:06.119 --> 01:54:09.319 game that deals with deep, mature themes. Why is this 2450 01:54:09.439 --> 01:54:12.399 the one that is getting banned from sale threatening the 2451 01:54:12.479 --> 01:54:14.359 chance for this game to actually make any money, because 2452 01:54:14.359 --> 01:54:16.640 if you're not on Steam, you're probably dead on PC. 2453 01:54:17.800 --> 01:54:20.600 Yeah, I don't know. I feel like even folks in 2454 01:54:20.600 --> 01:54:22.479 the chat are pointing this out. But Baby Steps, you 2455 01:54:22.560 --> 01:54:24.000 see a lot of dicks in that game. 2456 01:54:24.359 --> 01:54:25.760 She seems quite a few dicks. 2457 01:54:26.720 --> 01:54:29.399 And I mean, like, you know, a critically acclaimed game, 2458 01:54:29.520 --> 01:54:32.279 probably on the top of my list Dispatch. You see dong, 2459 01:54:32.439 --> 01:54:37.720 you see boobs, and that is they are explicitly to 2460 01:54:37.840 --> 01:54:42.760 having intercourse over there and banging. So I don't see 2461 01:54:42.800 --> 01:54:47.239 how that doesn't cross the line the initial thing of 2462 01:54:48.399 --> 01:54:51.720 a child being involved. I do see that being the issue. 2463 01:54:51.760 --> 01:54:55.800 But if that's been fixed Yeah. My guess here is 2464 01:54:56.359 --> 01:54:58.960 is this is probably due to some international laws. They 2465 01:54:58.960 --> 01:55:01.880 are not international laws in other countries where it's just 2466 01:55:02.039 --> 01:55:05.840 like it is so harsh against any speech that even 2467 01:55:05.920 --> 01:55:09.279 brushes up against this in any way. And then and 2468 01:55:09.399 --> 01:55:12.840 if you violate those laws as a service that provides 2469 01:55:12.920 --> 01:55:13.560 these games. 2470 01:55:13.359 --> 01:55:16.560 From other people, you're pretty protected in America, where it's 2471 01:55:16.600 --> 01:55:19.079 like you are not liable for something that someone sells 2472 01:55:19.159 --> 01:55:22.239 on your store. Typically that's not true everywhere. And so 2473 01:55:22.399 --> 01:55:24.640 the way that epic suddenly was like, oh wait, no, 2474 01:55:24.720 --> 01:55:27.439 we're not doing this either. So that tells me there 2475 01:55:27.520 --> 01:55:29.840 is a lawyer somewhere that saw a law in some country. 2476 01:55:29.920 --> 01:55:31.720 It's like, even if it was ever in there, once 2477 01:55:31.880 --> 01:55:35.279 you're you're taking a chance here for potentially being sued, 2478 01:55:35.279 --> 01:55:36.199 and we just can't do that. 2479 01:55:36.520 --> 01:55:39.159 So yeah, it's it's. 2480 01:55:39.159 --> 01:55:41.920 Unfair for this game, certainly because they try to address 2481 01:55:41.920 --> 01:55:43.720 the issue and it does not seem like it's it's 2482 01:55:43.920 --> 01:55:47.039 actually in the spirit of the rule, But lawyers don't 2483 01:55:47.079 --> 01:55:47.800 don't care about that. 2484 01:55:49.359 --> 01:55:49.479 Uh. 2485 01:55:49.640 --> 01:55:51.119 Hey, Greb, can I ask the news question? 2486 01:55:51.760 --> 01:55:52.239 Yeah?

A new leak via 2505 01:56:33.520 --> 01:56:36.960 Reddit has many players raising eyebrows suggesting that half Liy 2506 01:56:37.000 --> 01:56:39.279 three is not only in the works, but that an 2507 01:56:39.319 --> 01:56:42.840 announcement is imminent. Further, the leaker, who goes by source 2508 01:56:42.920 --> 01:56:46.239 two leak a, I m L just here, I know 2509 01:56:46.439 --> 01:56:48.319 right that suggests here that half Live three should be 2510 01:56:48.319 --> 01:56:51.199 announced on the eleventh, which also happens to be this 2511 01:56:51.359 --> 01:56:53.159 year's date for the Game Awards. 2512 01:56:53.279 --> 01:56:54.840 Now, I don't think if it's done, Reddit, I don't 2513 01:56:54.960 --> 01:56:56.640 think you can put fake stuff on there. 2514 01:56:57.279 --> 01:56:59.039 No, it's against the against the content. 2515 01:56:59.159 --> 01:57:03.720 Yes, soon where like okay, keep going because obviously, like 2516 01:57:04.279 --> 01:57:09.479 leakers are have reputations, right, like there are people who 2517 01:57:09.640 --> 01:57:15.319 garner pedigrees, So like, is this some random prick who cares? 2518 01:57:16.840 --> 01:57:19.359 Yeah, Look, there's a lot of other people out there 2519 01:57:19.399 --> 01:57:23.000 who are that do have reputations that have been saying 2520 01:57:23.079 --> 01:57:26.840 something's happening soon and a date and that it's this year. Okay, 2521 01:57:28.000 --> 01:57:32.600 I think that I am buying into Kighley having this 2522 01:57:33.119 --> 01:57:37.640 just because there's like there's been a lot of stuff 2523 01:57:37.720 --> 01:57:40.520 on Steam in the last month referencing games that have 2524 01:57:40.600 --> 01:57:42.760 been nominated for the Game Awards, something they've done before, 2525 01:57:42.840 --> 01:57:45.439 but it just seems really loud this year, like there's 2526 01:57:45.439 --> 01:57:48.079 a strong partnership there. Also, Jeff Keey does have a 2527 01:57:48.119 --> 01:57:51.640 strong relationship with Valve. He did like those twenty four 2528 01:57:51.720 --> 01:57:54.680 hours leading those big stories about Half Life and stuff 2529 01:57:54.720 --> 01:57:58.479 like that back in the day. So and you know, 2530 01:57:58.560 --> 01:58:00.920 one hundred million people watch the game. I know Valve 2531 01:58:00.960 --> 01:58:02.880 doesn't need it. They have the biggest audience in the 2532 01:58:02.920 --> 01:58:04.920 world of people who actually spend money on games on 2533 01:58:05.039 --> 01:58:07.760 their platform. This would be big and splashy, and I'm 2534 01:58:07.800 --> 01:58:11.439 sure Keeley lobbied to get it, So I'm I'm beginning 2535 01:58:11.479 --> 01:58:13.520 to believe I do think Half Life three gets announced 2536 01:58:13.560 --> 01:58:14.319 before the end of the year. 2537 01:58:14.640 --> 01:58:18.520 Really, I'm fully on board with that. Wait now now, okay, now, 2538 01:58:18.720 --> 01:58:23.800 now let's just travel back about three d sixty days. Sure, well, yeah, 2539 01:58:23.960 --> 01:58:27.000 and I do feel like we were very, very busy 2540 01:58:27.600 --> 01:58:29.319 for Game Awards last year. 2541 01:58:32.760 --> 01:58:37.239 Except for that one. Yeah, But that's my point is. 2542 01:58:37.279 --> 01:58:41.399 That, like, but I think that the way the reason 2543 01:58:41.520 --> 01:58:43.920 I like I jumped on board in that moment as well, 2544 01:58:44.079 --> 01:58:47.039 is I had been hearing about Half Life three pretty 2545 01:58:47.079 --> 01:58:50.640 frequently and then seeing that for people that don't know, 2546 01:58:50.760 --> 01:58:53.119 we kind of saw a sheet that was like a 2547 01:58:53.159 --> 01:58:55.079 bunch of stories that were getting ready to be posted 2548 01:58:55.159 --> 01:58:57.399 or whatever, and that included Half Life three. 2549 01:58:59.119 --> 01:59:01.000 I was like, yeah, that's sounds about right now. It 2550 01:59:01.039 --> 01:59:03.680 didn't happen then, but I'm like, well, I think it's 2551 01:59:03.720 --> 01:59:04.000 still in. 2552 01:59:04.039 --> 01:59:06.119 The works, and it's Valve. Who knows when they're actually 2553 01:59:06.119 --> 01:59:08.159 going going to announce this, but everyone must be hearing 2554 01:59:08.199 --> 01:59:11.159 the same things I'm hearing. And now it's that's been 2555 01:59:11.279 --> 01:59:13.680 this whole last month and a half has been those 2556 01:59:13.720 --> 01:59:15.119 stories popping off repeatedly. 2557 01:59:15.960 --> 01:59:19.000 Halfway three is the game is the only game that 2558 01:59:19.039 --> 01:59:21.359 I would ever get excited about an announcement. 2559 01:59:23.199 --> 01:59:25.840 Only excite you. 2560 01:59:26.520 --> 01:59:29.640 Listen, listen if I'm being very specific, okay about like 2561 01:59:29.720 --> 01:59:32.479 a surprise announcement.

And he 2634 02:03:16.239 --> 02:03:19.600 didn't really have our argument back against that, and everyone 2635 02:03:19.840 --> 02:03:21.720 was clowning on him like it was like he got 2636 02:03:21.800 --> 02:03:24.840 a cavalcade of people being like, shut up, nerd. It 2637 02:03:25.039 --> 02:03:26.199 was quite a sight to see. 2638 02:03:26.560 --> 02:03:29.000 I don't get his I don't get his point at all, Like, 2639 02:03:29.159 --> 02:03:31.079 what is it hurt to tell us what is being 2640 02:03:31.159 --> 02:03:31.840 used to make a game? 2641 02:03:32.000 --> 02:03:33.119 Doesn't make any sense, greb. 2642 02:03:33.119 --> 02:03:35.399 You had a brilliant point yesterday when you held up 2643 02:03:35.399 --> 02:03:37.520 a bottle of water and you looked at the ingredients 2644 02:03:37.520 --> 02:03:40.039 sentence like, oh, there's no harm in telling me that 2645 02:03:40.119 --> 02:03:42.359 the ingredients in this bottle of water is water. 2646 02:03:42.840 --> 02:03:45.920 So yeah, it's like what, Yeah, it didn't hurt anybody. 2647 02:03:46.000 --> 02:03:50.079 Everyone's fully informed about an obvious thing, so what like 2648 02:03:50.199 --> 02:03:51.720 we can move on with our lives and people can 2649 02:03:51.760 --> 02:03:55.600 still make decisions based on that. Paramount is planning a 2650 02:03:55.720 --> 02:03:59.279 mysterious Sonic The Hedgehog movie spin off. Paramount is planning 2651 02:03:59.319 --> 02:04:03.840 a fifth Sonic the Hedgehog movie, an unnamed Sonic Universe feature, 2652 02:04:04.279 --> 02:04:07.279 for release on December twenty second, twenty twenty eight, suggesting 2653 02:04:07.359 --> 02:04:11.000 a spinoff. This follows the fourth Sonic film, set from 2654 02:04:11.039 --> 02:04:13.600 March nineteenth to twenty twenty seven. That's right near my birthday. 2655 02:04:13.800 --> 02:04:18.199 The expansion is and Backlar's birthday. The expansion is unsurprising 2656 02:04:18.279 --> 02:04:21.600 given the franchise, the success highlighted by Sonic the Hedgehog 2657 02:04:21.640 --> 02:04:25.079 three's record bit breaking one billion dollars. 2658 02:04:24.760 --> 02:04:26.479 In global gross last December. 2659 02:04:27.039 --> 02:04:31.439 It's it's massively popular that movie series. All right, So. 2660 02:04:33.439 --> 02:04:36.199 The kids today seeing a Sonic the Hedgehog movie than 2661 02:04:36.199 --> 02:04:38.560 have played Sonic the Hedgehog two for the Sega Genesis. 2662 02:04:38.880 --> 02:04:42.800 Yes, oh, yes, well it's not even close. Oh my god, Dan, 2663 02:04:42.880 --> 02:04:45.399 how does it feel that a lot more kids know 2664 02:04:45.600 --> 02:04:48.960 Jim Carrey from Sonic than anything he's ever done. 2665 02:04:49.560 --> 02:04:52.640 That's easy too. Here's the truth, Dan, the movies are 2666 02:04:52.720 --> 02:04:54.119 better than the original video game. 2667 02:04:54.159 --> 02:04:55.840 Oh you stop that, that's true. 2668 02:04:57.199 --> 02:05:00.920 They are. They're they're just like Sonics a better movie character. 2669 02:05:01.039 --> 02:05:02.760 Then he has a video game character. Oh, he's a 2670 02:05:02.800 --> 02:05:04.119 great second Genesis character. 2671 02:05:05.399 --> 02:05:05.840 That's sorry. 2672 02:05:06.720 --> 02:05:10.600 And second, I feel like it's still no Fire Marshall 2673 02:05:10.680 --> 02:05:14.199 build and uh his roll and Sonic the head. 2674 02:05:14.119 --> 02:05:16.239 Shock person that was the biggest Halloween costumers. 2675 02:05:16.319 --> 02:05:22.560 Here is fire Marshall Bench Hunters, and then Fire Marshall Bill. 2676 02:05:23.119 --> 02:05:25.239 Yeah, when is Fire Martiall Bill coming to Fortnite? 2677 02:05:25.359 --> 02:05:27.960 Oh my god, the color season. 2678 02:05:30.159 --> 02:05:30.600 It's one of the. 2679 02:05:32.279 --> 02:05:33.279 Clown in Fortnite. 2680 02:05:33.840 --> 02:05:35.079 Hold me the clown in Fortnite? 2681 02:05:36.960 --> 02:05:41.199 Yeah, okay, now all right, could be the fly Girls 2682 02:05:41.239 --> 02:05:41.720 in anything. 2683 02:05:42.560 --> 02:05:46.520 But the sound stuff is not surprising though, like right, 2684 02:05:46.640 --> 02:05:49.439 and Ben Schwartz is a fucking treasure who doesn't want 2685 02:05:49.479 --> 02:05:52.119 to party with? Ben Schwartz seems like the light. So 2686 02:05:52.239 --> 02:05:53.720 that's that's the question that it's like, this is a 2687 02:05:53.800 --> 02:05:54.159 spin off? 2688 02:05:54.279 --> 02:05:56.800 Does it not focus on Sonic and they've already done 2689 02:05:56.840 --> 02:06:00.359 They've they've done a spin off of a Knuckles TV show, right, 2690 02:06:00.560 --> 02:06:04.279 So what would this spinoff movie be if it's not 2691 02:06:04.319 --> 02:06:07.199 gonna focus Sonic? And is it like a shadow kits 2692 02:06:07.239 --> 02:06:07.520 as whole? 2693 02:06:07.520 --> 02:06:07.760 I guess. 2694 02:06:07.880 --> 02:06:09.760 Keanu Reeves was, Yeah. 2695 02:06:09.640 --> 02:06:15.000 It's gonna be a shadow or yeah, I hope it's 2696 02:06:15.039 --> 02:06:17.359 just a p G. John Wick. 2697 02:06:17.439 --> 02:06:19.520 What if it's like a shadow but it's like a mockumentary, 2698 02:06:19.560 --> 02:06:21.520 like a Waiting for Guffman with shadow? 2699 02:06:22.359 --> 02:06:22.399 What? 2700 02:06:23.479 --> 02:06:23.800 I don't know? 2701 02:06:23.840 --> 02:06:27.039 What like that in my head that I want to 2702 02:06:27.079 --> 02:06:28.359 bow Jack Horseman with Bubbs. 2703 02:06:28.560 --> 02:06:31.520 That's that's pretty good. That'd be too fucked up. 2704 02:06:31.840 --> 02:06:35.039 I was gonna We're gonna have the nerve, the bravery 2705 02:06:35.279 --> 02:06:38.239 to do that. No, no one's no one's got time. 2706 02:06:38.680 --> 02:06:40.800 They should throw us in a Sonic movie. There's we 2707 02:06:40.880 --> 02:06:43.319 have no one, but we could just be a bunch 2708 02:06:43.359 --> 02:06:47.199 of chows. Oh my god, a bunch of chows. 2709 02:06:47.279 --> 02:06:49.880 Well, the mclarroy's getting themselves in the trolls. We're gonna 2710 02:06:49.880 --> 02:06:51.760 get a Sonic as a as a bunch of chos. 2711 02:06:51.920 --> 02:06:54.600 But uh, don't have Nadi being because that would drive 2712 02:06:54.640 --> 02:06:59.640 him insane. We just have fos recording a podcast. 2713 02:07:00.199 --> 02:07:03.359 Yeah, in the ballan wonder World movie Get out of Here? 2714 02:07:04.600 --> 02:07:09.239 Do we think Shadows got the juice for a Oh? 2715 02:07:09.720 --> 02:07:10.880 I think so yeah. 2716 02:07:10.920 --> 02:07:13.039 I think after that third movie made a billion dollars 2717 02:07:13.119 --> 02:07:14.640 and he was a big part of it. That's that's 2718 02:07:14.760 --> 02:07:15.720 probably what they're thinking. 2719 02:07:15.880 --> 02:07:21.680 Shadow is like Vegeta to children in terms of like, oh, 2720 02:07:21.760 --> 02:07:28.960 he's for grown men. Exactly. He's a bad man, all right, kids. 2721 02:07:28.840 --> 02:07:32.279 Like Shadow because well he had his he he turned 2722 02:07:32.319 --> 02:07:33.439 into the good guy. 2723 02:07:33.560 --> 02:07:38.359 So exactly. That's their first introduction to the trope of 2724 02:07:38.479 --> 02:07:41.720 an like an anti hero, Like does he. 2725 02:07:41.800 --> 02:07:43.880 Use a shoot eagle, Like does he use a shoot 2726 02:07:43.880 --> 02:07:44.880 desert desert. 2727 02:07:45.159 --> 02:07:45.880 In the movie. 2728 02:07:46.079 --> 02:07:49.920 I don't remember in the games like seeing a desert 2729 02:07:50.000 --> 02:07:52.279 eagle in either the film or the video. 2730 02:07:52.640 --> 02:07:55.000 The Shadow I have not seen the movie. 2731 02:07:55.119 --> 02:07:57.159 The chat is saying the shadow is like Steve Austin 2732 02:07:57.279 --> 02:07:57.680 in the movie. 2733 02:07:57.760 --> 02:08:00.319 Is that true? No? Not? 2734 02:08:00.640 --> 02:08:05.680 I mean it's it's more like a like a Red 2735 02:08:05.840 --> 02:08:06.960 john Wick, like a. 2736 02:08:07.239 --> 02:08:13.560 Like a you know, like yeah, yeah, okay, hm, anyway, 2737 02:08:13.960 --> 02:08:14.399 not a lot of. 2738 02:08:14.479 --> 02:08:16.800 Range in Keanu, but still doing the part we need 2739 02:08:16.920 --> 02:08:17.199 him to do. 2740 02:08:19.199 --> 02:08:20.279 I absolutely adore him. 2741 02:08:20.279 --> 02:08:20.720 What do you mean? 2742 02:08:20.840 --> 02:08:21.399 Okay? 2743 02:08:22.560 --> 02:08:26.239 Steam machines could cost around seven hundred dollars build analysis estimates. 2744 02:08:26.239 --> 02:08:28.199 It's probably story we're gonna keep coming back to until 2745 02:08:28.239 --> 02:08:28.840 we know the price. 2746 02:08:29.319 --> 02:08:29.439 Uh. 2747 02:08:30.399 --> 02:08:33.760 Basically the story wise coming out of the announcement is 2748 02:08:33.840 --> 02:08:36.079 it's gonna be priced like a PC. And then they 2749 02:08:36.399 --> 02:08:38.680 people kept asking and valves like it's gonna be like 2750 02:08:38.800 --> 02:08:41.159 priced like if you were to build a comparable PC 2751 02:08:41.359 --> 02:08:44.119 to the performance of this device. So people did some 2752 02:08:44.279 --> 02:08:48.000 math that's build building, like are specing out PC parts 2753 02:08:48.560 --> 02:08:50.760 like it's gonna be around seven hundred dollars. I think 2754 02:08:50.840 --> 02:08:54.199 that's with the caveat that RAM prices could still go 2755 02:08:54.359 --> 02:08:55.920 up and really drive the price of this thing up 2756 02:08:56.000 --> 02:08:57.840 to like seven hundred eight hundred group. 2757 02:08:57.840 --> 02:09:01.399 What did I see about like GPU prices changing though? 2758 02:09:01.520 --> 02:09:02.479 What is so? 2759 02:09:03.319 --> 02:09:07.039 GPUs are just a computer you put inside your computer. 2760 02:09:07.159 --> 02:09:10.359 It has all of the components of a computer inside 2761 02:09:10.399 --> 02:09:13.000 a GPUs. So that RAM, which is actually the faster RAM, 2762 02:09:13.439 --> 02:09:16.560 and it was already more expensive than DDR five rams, 2763 02:09:16.640 --> 02:09:19.880 this is six and six x uh. That is something 2764 02:09:19.920 --> 02:09:21.520 that is going to go. It was already going up 2765 02:09:21.560 --> 02:09:24.119 in price. The big thing that happened. And I just 2766 02:09:24.399 --> 02:09:26.880 I saw this headline when I was checking some like 2767 02:09:27.039 --> 02:09:29.640 financial news because this is like mover and shaker stuff 2768 02:09:30.079 --> 02:09:35.520 in Nvidia apparently is going to stop providing the RAM themselves, right, 2769 02:09:35.800 --> 02:09:39.560 partners that make their GPUs right so in video makes GPUs, sure, 2770 02:09:39.640 --> 02:09:42.159 But what they really do is they designed GPUs and 2771 02:09:42.279 --> 02:09:44.880 then third party partners licensed at the third party partners 2772 02:09:45.039 --> 02:09:46.479 they make the bulk of those. 2773 02:09:46.640 --> 02:09:49.159 Most people have, like you did have an EVGA evg 2774 02:09:49.239 --> 02:09:50.640 A got out while the getting was good. 2775 02:09:50.800 --> 02:09:52.920 They got out before all this nonsense happened. They made 2776 02:09:52.920 --> 02:09:54.039 a lot of it was a lot of made a 2777 02:09:54.039 --> 02:09:56.439 lot of sense. But all those partners that are still 2778 02:09:56.520 --> 02:09:58.840 there are now going to have to source their own 2779 02:09:59.119 --> 02:10:01.479 RAM and and that seems like it's only going to 2780 02:10:01.560 --> 02:10:03.479 cause prices to go up because now there's going to 2781 02:10:03.520 --> 02:10:08.199 be multiple vendors bidding for that same stuff against one 2782 02:10:08.199 --> 02:10:09.840 another to build the same product. 2783 02:10:10.359 --> 02:10:13.039 And it's like, oh, that's a nightmare in the making. 2784 02:10:13.119 --> 02:10:17.000 So so say like the AI bubble just explodes tomorrow, 2785 02:10:17.520 --> 02:10:21.439 it would still take years years to recover, and like 2786 02:10:21.600 --> 02:10:24.520 the prices to go to age sustainable. 2787 02:10:24.640 --> 02:10:26.880 So all the investments already happened, right, So all the 2788 02:10:26.960 --> 02:10:30.479 money's spent to build up these plants that manufacture that 2789 02:10:30.640 --> 02:10:33.720 manufacture that stuff. It hasn't just been earmarked, it's it's 2790 02:10:33.760 --> 02:10:36.600 happened already. They've already spent their investment over there. And 2791 02:10:36.640 --> 02:10:39.720 if they if the AI market market exploded, they're not 2792 02:10:39.800 --> 02:10:41.600 suddenly going to have a bunch of money left over 2793 02:10:41.680 --> 02:10:43.600 to go put back in this thing that is more stable. 2794 02:10:43.760 --> 02:10:45.479 They're going to have to just live with what they've done. 2795 02:10:46.279 --> 02:10:46.319 That. 2796 02:10:46.560 --> 02:10:49.439 You know, it would probably drive prices down for that 2797 02:10:49.680 --> 02:10:52.800 very that high bandwidth memory, but not enough to make 2798 02:10:52.840 --> 02:10:57.119 a difference immediately for sure. Cool, Well, well that doesn't 2799 02:10:57.119 --> 02:10:59.399 for deadlines. Handing the showback over jan. 2800 02:10:59.399 --> 02:11:01.800 All right, folks, we're gonna go take another quick bricky 2801 02:11:01.880 --> 02:11:12.439 break and we will be back with emails. These are 2802 02:11:13.479 --> 02:11:17.560 for the show emails. Bombcastigiant bomb dot com is the 2803 02:11:17.600 --> 02:11:21.880 email addressed to send your emails to write in about 2804 02:11:21.880 --> 02:11:24.640 any and everything, and I will read them. Thank you 2805 02:11:24.800 --> 02:11:27.399 everyone for sending all of your lovely, lovely emails in 2806 02:11:27.840 --> 02:11:31.199 each week. We are inundated with so many emails. We 2807 02:11:31.479 --> 02:11:33.600 only have so much time on the show to get 2808 02:11:33.640 --> 02:11:37.279 to them, so I will only be able to get 2809 02:11:37.279 --> 02:11:42.960 to a few today. First email comes from John I 2810 02:11:43.199 --> 02:11:51.439 patch Wolf interesting, He's Irish. Hello by the surname Hello, BombCast. 2811 02:11:51.680 --> 02:11:54.720 First time longtime Taco Bell recently opened up its first 2812 02:11:54.760 --> 02:11:57.880 location in Ireland, and under the guidance of one Dan Reiker, 2813 02:11:58.119 --> 02:12:01.159 I partook. Here are my thoughts. I was surprised how 2814 02:12:01.239 --> 02:12:05.159 many dishes were some variation of cheese wrapped in a tortilla. 2815 02:12:06.920 --> 02:12:11.159 That shouldn't be surprised the whole deal, including the cheesy rolls, 2816 02:12:11.239 --> 02:12:14.159 which were literally just that and nothing else. I did 2817 02:12:14.239 --> 02:12:17.760 tell roll up. Yeah, despite the simplicity, I could not 2818 02:12:18.119 --> 02:12:20.880 deny the warm comfort many of these dishes brought. It 2819 02:12:21.000 --> 02:12:25.600 was deeply unchallenging pleasant food. What's more, the dishes were 2820 02:12:25.680 --> 02:12:29.119 accented by some truly sensational dips. Both the lava and 2821 02:12:29.199 --> 02:12:31.600 Jolapano dip did a lot to add a hint of 2822 02:12:31.640 --> 02:12:35.000 sweet tang to the soft, safe flavors. Where the illusion 2823 02:12:35.119 --> 02:12:38.479 became began to come apart was anytime the dishes moved 2824 02:12:38.479 --> 02:12:42.199 away from taco slim tortillas and began to morph into 2825 02:12:42.319 --> 02:12:47.760 a visage of actual food. The results were bastard homokula. 2826 02:12:48.920 --> 02:12:53.079 The results were bastard homoculous that were neither slime enough 2827 02:12:53.159 --> 02:12:55.319 to be Taco Bell or real enough to be food, 2828 02:12:55.800 --> 02:13:01.600 Like Pinocchio if frozen halfway through transforming into a real boy. 2829 02:13:01.840 --> 02:13:06.399 These dishes were uncanny and disturbing, half animalph okay, sure 2830 02:13:06.800 --> 02:13:09.119 what came out of my body afterwards made me question 2831 02:13:09.239 --> 02:13:13.079 if I were still human. Love the podcast john Ipatchwolf 2832 02:13:13.399 --> 02:13:17.439 ps its the fact uh ps. If Backlar offers to 2833 02:13:17.479 --> 02:13:19.640 read this in my voice, please do not let him. 2834 02:13:20.279 --> 02:13:22.119 Be a bathroom joke. 2835 02:13:22.159 --> 02:13:24.520 Everyone's made it again. Never had a weird poop after 2836 02:13:24.560 --> 02:13:27.399 taco Bell, eaten Taco Bell thousands of times, No weird 2837 02:13:28.039 --> 02:13:31.119 American stomach. Now my body's used to it. And it 2838 02:13:31.239 --> 02:13:34.000 just knows how to work it absolutely. Also, John, I 2839 02:13:34.479 --> 02:13:38.159 love how he described the food as pleasant and deeply unchallenging. 2840 02:13:38.199 --> 02:13:40.039 And I do want people to describe me that way. 2841 02:13:40.119 --> 02:13:44.760 Now, I mean, she got some work to do, buddy. 2842 02:13:44.880 --> 02:13:50.520 Yeah, that's that's what I strive for you. Of course, 2843 02:13:51.680 --> 02:13:53.800 John sent me a photo. 2844 02:13:55.119 --> 02:13:59.520 Of a of like a table what must have been 2845 02:13:59.840 --> 02:14:02.640 a one hundred and eighty dollars worth of taco Bell. 2846 02:14:02.800 --> 02:14:02.840 No. 2847 02:14:03.159 --> 02:14:04.960 Well, actually I was gonna make the joke about taco 2848 02:14:05.000 --> 02:14:07.279 bell being cheap, but actually it is actually prett expensive. 2849 02:14:07.319 --> 02:14:13.000 Now, man, what you're doing. Good work, John, You're doing 2850 02:14:13.039 --> 02:14:15.920 the Lord's work. You're doing experimental work. And I'm glad 2851 02:14:16.039 --> 02:14:19.640 a Taco Bell has visited your region of the world. 2852 02:14:19.800 --> 02:14:21.760 He drove like an hour to get there. I told him, 2853 02:14:22.000 --> 02:14:23.399 I gotta get the chicken case of the ead. I'm 2854 02:14:23.439 --> 02:14:26.039 curious to the lava and hal apino dip. Now, they 2855 02:14:26.119 --> 02:14:27.920 do have a bunch of different like when they start 2856 02:14:27.960 --> 02:14:29.560 doing the nuggets and stuff like that, there are different 2857 02:14:29.640 --> 02:14:32.079 like in a little cup, like different avocatta ranch and 2858 02:14:32.079 --> 02:14:34.079 spicy ranch and stuff like that. So I don't know 2859 02:14:34.119 --> 02:14:36.880 if it's a situation like that, because like you mentioned dips. 2860 02:14:36.920 --> 02:14:38.880 He doesn't say sauce. I said, like, oh, make sure 2861 02:14:38.880 --> 02:14:40.640 you get a bunch of fire sauce. Like to me, 2862 02:14:41.199 --> 02:14:44.439 fire sauce is the staple Taco Bell sauce. The Aablo 2863 02:14:44.560 --> 02:14:46.560 Spirain's got kind of a different flavor to it, milds 2864 02:14:46.600 --> 02:14:49.680 too mild. I think fire is exactly the sweet spot there, 2865 02:14:49.760 --> 02:14:53.760 you know, Yeah, I agree. I don't know lava was 2866 02:14:53.800 --> 02:14:55.520 that what he said? He said a lava, Yeah, I 2867 02:14:55.560 --> 02:14:57.760 mean there's diablo. I'm not familiar with the lava sauce. 2868 02:14:57.880 --> 02:15:00.079 No, yeah, I've not seen that. That might be you 2869 02:15:00.199 --> 02:15:04.680 like a europe thing. But I've seen the avocado stuff 2870 02:15:04.840 --> 02:15:05.800 that I'm sure. 2871 02:15:06.159 --> 02:15:10.880 Yeah, I mean either as someone who really likes Taco 2872 02:15:10.920 --> 02:15:15.279 Bell quite a bit, I think that John's summer summerization 2873 02:15:15.600 --> 02:15:17.840 of like what the experience is dead on like. 2874 02:15:17.880 --> 02:15:21.560 That, except for the poop thing.
