But that's 550 00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:06.920 okay because we're a podcast, so audio doesn't matter. 551 00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:09.880 It's fine. No, that's what they say. We'll thinks in 552 00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:10.400 a post. 553 00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:14.480 Anyway, I already had to start another recording because I 554 00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:17.480 don't worry though I saved the other one. I'm doing 555 00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:18.119 great over here. 556 00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:21.039 What's funny is like, why would windows even want to 557 00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:22.880 do this? Why don't do this? 558 00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:24.839 And why is there not an easy way to make 559 00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:27.960 it stop? I don't want you to. I don't screaming 560 00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:29.400 the flower. 561 00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:31.119 I love. 562 00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:33.960 What it's doing is that it's literally putting him like 563 00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:34.759 in a corner. 564 00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:39.240 Mike, dynamic range is a problem, all right. I've always 565 00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:41.480 said that he can't get too loud, he can get 566 00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:42.200 too quiet. 567 00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:45.559 It's a problem for whatever reason. It's prox chat like 568 00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:48.480 just right now for mikey. Oh well, he is. 569 00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:52.039 Too dynamic, is the problem. Uh. We've known this about 570 00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:53.880 him for a while now. He's too dynamic of a 571 00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:57.279 man anyway, video games. 572 00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:01.200 Oh he am yeah, sure. 573 00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:07.119 I want to get this out of the way because 574 00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:10.240 we've talked about this quite a lot. Y'all had a 575 00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:13.000 very good discussion about it last week on the podcast, 576 00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:15.400 but I have not had the chance to talk about 577 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:21.559 Donkey Kong Bonanza smokes. I thought Expedition thirty three was 578 00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:23.920 an easy lock for Game of the Year, and then 579 00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:27.519 I started playing this, and then, holy smokes, I think 580 00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:30.720 it is just the mindless means of mashing through and 581 00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:34.279 this being a video game, ass video game, it was 582 00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:36.960 enough to assuay me that big said, I think I'm 583 00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:43.160 in sub layer twelve hundred now, oh yeah, I think 584 00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:45.039 that maybe near the end of the game, it feels 585 00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:47.960 like it filled out the skill tree with like the 586 00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:52.680 different options. Now, I really enjoy it. I've been The 587 00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:56.519 terraforming with my fists has not gotten old quite yet. 588 00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:00.880 But I think for me, I kind of the platforming 589 00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:02.880 was a little bit more challenging. I kind of wish, 590 00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:05.440 uh it was more of the like the Mario flavor 591 00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:09.240 there versus what we have here, because so far, you know, 592 00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:13.440 I could solve most of my issues just bashing through 593 00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:17.359 and kind of just jumping and spinning and punching out. 594 00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:20.240 Yeah, the platform is always gonna kind of suffer a 595 00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:22.400 little bit for that design. By the way, Jan I'm 596 00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:25.519 not doing one with microphone issues. Chat says they want 597 00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:34.000 more jan Jes. So you think about that, scolded you. 598 00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:36.000 You know you have the challenge rooms to kind of 599 00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:37.960 make up for that. I think there's there's a lot 600 00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:41.079 of those. I think specifically because of that, because they 601 00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:44.440 realized in order to make challenging platform sections, you really 602 00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:47.880 have pretty bespoke levels where there's maybe not as much 603 00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:51.079 of the terraforming stuff and what not. I don't necessarily 604 00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:53.519 mind that. I think it's a relatively good mix and balance. 605 00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:55.480 Yeah, I think they found they are they found an 606 00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:59.359 artistic balance I think where it's like they made the decision, 607 00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:03.559 like they didn't just find themselves here with this game 608 00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:06.160 where they're like, Okay, we're just gonna try some stuff 609 00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:08.359 and see what happens. It's like, no, they had an 610 00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:10.720 idea in mind for what this game should be and 611 00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:13.559 built toward that direction. And so they established something that 612 00:30:13.599 --> 00:30:15.680 is really fun and kind of accommodates a lot of 613 00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:17.279 different play styles the way I've been talking about the 614 00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:21.160 last couple of weeks, and that it like creates opportunities 615 00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:24.480 for slightly different possibilities where it's like, Okay, I can 616 00:30:24.519 --> 00:30:27.559 now take some of these materials and Breath of the wild, 617 00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:31.319 combine them thrown together and make a bridge to cross 618 00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:34.079 a chasm I was never supposed to cross this way, 619 00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:36.759 and that to me is like such a cool thing 620 00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:40.559 where that probably wouldn't and maybe shouldn't be in a 621 00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:44.599 Mario platformer. Mario platforms feel like they should be obstacle 622 00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:47.839 courses essentially, and here it's like, well, no, Donkey Kong 623 00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:50.480 can can destroy, but he can also build if you're clever, 624 00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:54.519 And I like that this is enables that different side 625 00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:57.920 of this kind of platforming game. Yeah. I do enjoy 626 00:30:58.039 --> 00:30:58.319 that a. 627 00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:03.960 Bunch of Nintendo games will have that flexibility to like, yeah, 628 00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:06.039 we know you're gonna break it, so just go ahead 629 00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:07.599 and break it. We're not gonna hide that you can 630 00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:10.240 do that, because I definitely grub I think you were 631 00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:13.400 talking last week about like sequence breaking a couple different 632 00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:17.799 instances of stuff. Yeah, And I was able to do 633 00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:20.240 that as well with a couple of things, and I'm like, oh, 634 00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:24.440 I love that I can do this, Like this is great. 635 00:31:24.599 --> 00:31:28.240 But overall, I think the game is fantastic. I love 636 00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:30.640 the colors. There's certain worlds I kind of got too 637 00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.680 tired of. I don't think I like ice levels. I 638 00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:38.240 don't think I like snow levels when you get blasted 639 00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:43.119 to I think it maybe layer eight hundred. It's kind 640 00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:46.799 of like a beach ish biome or level set that 641 00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:49.640 I was just having a blast with Mike. I'm sorry, 642 00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:51.279 but there was a lot of big fruit and I. 643 00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:53.680 Was yea giant. 644 00:31:54.079 --> 00:31:56.279 I was working certain I didn't see Funky Kong over 645 00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:59.359 there because Jeff threatens something and now I'm worried. Everyone 646 00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:00.599 watch out for god time. 647 00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:03.880 It's coming. 648 00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:08.160 Also, you know, the story, it's cute enough. It definitely 649 00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:11.839 feels like that Saturday Morning cartoon style of like their stakes, 650 00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:14.799 but they're not too heavy. And also some of the 651 00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:16.279 enemies they're not that mad at you. 652 00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:20.920 Yeah, And the relationships between the characters is like mostly 653 00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:26.079 done through fun facial animations, and like Donkey Kong's got 654 00:32:26.119 --> 00:32:28.440 so much personality in the way he animates that I'm 655 00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:31.359 just like, oh, this is maybe my favorite Donkey Kong. 656 00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:34.680 The way he looks and he behaves, it's fantastic. 657 00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:38.279 Yeah, I you know, I mentioned this when Dana and 658 00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:39.759 I went to the switch to event, But I am 659 00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:43.640 a convert. I didn't really have an affinity towards Donkey 660 00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:46.640 Kong in the original design or any of the old games, 661 00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:51.160 but this one totally on two things with a game 662 00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:55.480 though one I understand that this is targeted towards kids. 663 00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:59.000 I do wish the boss battles were a little bit more. 664 00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:02.720 METEA or something anything, yeah, anything. 665 00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:05.200 I just wish they had like two times three times 666 00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:08.319 as much health. I think mechanically there's sound enough. Sometimes 667 00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:11.559 it just feels like ten seconds they die and it's 668 00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:13.480 like there's all this build up to them and it's 669 00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:14.400 just it's over. 670 00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:17.000 Yeah, it's so fat, Like ten seconds is not even 671 00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:20.720 an exaggeration. I know that someone in chat last week 672 00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:23.960 pointed out that they had the intro animation, the boss fight, 673 00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:27.279 and the defeat animation all in one thirty second clip 674 00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:29.880 on their switch too, And it's like, yeah, now you 675 00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:32.680 mentioned I think I had a couple like that, So yeah, 676 00:33:32.759 --> 00:33:35.960 and that's just a letdown. I don't know what the 677 00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:37.960 answer is, necessarily, because I know they want to keep 678 00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:40.160 these things light and breezy for a vast majority of 679 00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:42.519 different people, and they also don't seem to love the 680 00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:46.720 idea of difficulty settings at Nintendo. They find other ways 681 00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:48.240 to increase the difficulty, which is like, hey, if you 682 00:33:48.279 --> 00:33:50.240 want a one hundred percent this and find all these things, 683 00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:52.880 some of these bananas are going to be harder than 684 00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:55.920 the others. And that's where your difficulties at go. Do 685 00:33:56.039 --> 00:33:57.519 that you freak and I'm like, oh, you know what, 686 00:33:57.559 --> 00:33:59.039 I like that. But then when you get to the 687 00:33:59.079 --> 00:34:02.200 boss fights, they haven't really found an elegant solution along 688 00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:05.039 those lines. So yeah, I hope they right. 689 00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:07.319 But they saw that in the future and like in 690 00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:11.039 Odesty with the brutals, you could beat them very fast, 691 00:34:11.039 --> 00:34:13.000 but it was kind of a trick to it. Yeah, 692 00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:17.360 they felt like boss fights still here. The trick to 693 00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:19.159 being them is usually pretty easy is go up and 694 00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:21.280 you just kind of break through shit pretty quickly and 695 00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:25.239 just kind of if you stay on their ass pretty diligently, 696 00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:28.480 they go down very quick. Again, even just doubling your health. 697 00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:31.639 Just that the easy boss fight at least lasts longer, 698 00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:33.480 I think will be fine. The good news they're like, 699 00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:35.480 no spoil there, but the final boss fights great. 700 00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:37.920 Yes, that's it is. It is a good bat boss that's. 701 00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:39.800 Styled in very well. So that's just wish more of 702 00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:41.119 it was a little bit like that. 703 00:34:41.239 --> 00:34:43.519 Yeah, I couldn't help think of some of the boss 704 00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:47.320 fights from Astrobot and how those felt like giant sweeping 705 00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:48.800 up or like or. 706 00:34:48.840 --> 00:34:51.800 Like Splatoon, even like Splatoon's got some really good boss fights. 707 00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:53.639 February probably be like, oh, these would have been a 708 00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:54.960 good fit for a game like this. 709 00:34:55.320 --> 00:34:57.480 Even the old Donkey Kong Country games the way they 710 00:34:57.559 --> 00:34:59.760 handle it. And I also I love this, but in 711 00:34:59.840 --> 00:35:01.199 the this is a little bit what Astrobot does and 712 00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:03.960 does it well where the bosses are kind of just 713 00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:07.639 platforming challenges and you sort of wait for the moment 714 00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:09.840 where you can hit them, right, so you just kind 715 00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:11.559 of dodging stuff and then when the game says you 716 00:35:11.599 --> 00:35:13.880 can hit them, you do that. That is one way 717 00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:15.400 around it, and a lot of these kind of games 718 00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:17.920 do that. I do like the idea boss fights that like, no, 719 00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:20.159 if you can get in there, you can't attack them. 720 00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:22.000 It just isn't very well tuned for that. They don't 721 00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:22.480 have enough help. 722 00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:24.079 Yeah, I think that. I think that is like maybe 723 00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:27.400 the solution is like make a boss fight the level. Yeah, 724 00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:29.719 I'm like or like a shadow of the Colossus Beast 725 00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:31.440 or something like that. I'm like climbing up it and 726 00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:33.559 you and like maybe it's made up some materials that 727 00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:35.119 sometimes you can punch through and you have to do 728 00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:36.599 stuff on your way up to the top of the 729 00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:40.280 head to deliver the final blow. I mean, we're game designing, 730 00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:43.320 we're what is a fantasy booking now. But still, like, 731 00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:45.760 clearly there are other things they could have done other 732 00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:48.000 than just make them so simple that they go buy 733 00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:48.800 in a blink of an eye. 734 00:35:48.960 --> 00:35:53.599 Yeah, my other qualm is very, very minor. But if 735 00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:56.719 there is at all a slope in a video game, 736 00:35:57.320 --> 00:35:59.519 I think if you have the equivalent of a rolling 737 00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:02.920 ability or like a butt stomp, you should always be 738 00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:04.599 able to slide down that whole thing. 739 00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:08.000 Oh sure, the Apex legend style slide where it's just 740 00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:09.159 like as soon as you start it, if you're on 741 00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:11.239 a stove, you just keep going for forever. I agree 742 00:36:11.280 --> 00:36:11.440 with that. 743 00:36:11.679 --> 00:36:14.599 Yeah, because you know, there's a lot of hills in 744 00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:18.039 this video game, and Donkey Kong has like a forward 745 00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:19.079 summersault roll. 746 00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:21.360 I just wanted him to go down that whole thing. 747 00:36:21.559 --> 00:36:21.840 That's it. 748 00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:25.800 That being said, you can rip off the ground and 749 00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:30.199 use it as like a little skateboard or snowboard. That ability. 750 00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:33.519 I also wish it was more useful or or he 751 00:36:33.639 --> 00:36:36.639 had had more instances to be used. You got you 752 00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:37.639 can get creative with that. 753 00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:39.159 That's one of those things where that has helped me 754 00:36:39.199 --> 00:36:40.960 with some sequence breaking before for sure. 755 00:36:41.199 --> 00:36:46.599 Okay, okay, okay, uh but yeah, otherwise this is another 756 00:36:46.639 --> 00:36:49.039 one of those games where I cannot stop smiling. 757 00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:52.880 Yep. Like then they also just maybe they like focus 758 00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:56.719 on the fun I do like the balloons. It's like, 759 00:36:56.920 --> 00:36:58.599 bring back the balloons from the other games and give 760 00:36:58.599 --> 00:37:02.039 it a different ability other than lives And here it's like, Okay, 761 00:37:02.039 --> 00:37:05.000 if you fall off an edge, it just brings you 762 00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:06.920 right back up, and it's like, you know what, Yeah 763 00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:09.960 that makes sense. Like the punishment for falling off a 764 00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:12.880 ledge should be pretty minor because you just want to 765 00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:14.880 get back and try the jump again. And that's exactly 766 00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:16.840 what this enables. I think. I thought that was a 767 00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:19.199 pretty good solution. Well, it makes the game easier, but 768 00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:22.079 in a way that just makes it a faster paced 769 00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:23.519 game in a very good way. 770 00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:29.840 I don't mind the Bonanza power up animals too, some 771 00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:32.719 of them though they look too freaky. Yeah, they're kind 772 00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:37.039 of freaky looking. They were it felt like they were 773 00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:39.440 sitting there at the design doc the Blueprint and they 774 00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:42.639 were thinking, all right, do we go for the horse 775 00:37:42.679 --> 00:37:45.360 from the movie Spirit? No, that's too sexy, you can't 776 00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:49.320 do that, Or do you have some weird fern gully 777 00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:53.440 land before time fucked up animal monstrosities and they kind 778 00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:54.840 of went like that way instead. 779 00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:56.480 Yeah, muscles on muscles. 780 00:37:56.679 --> 00:37:58.320 They're freaks and I like them, but they are not 781 00:37:58.440 --> 00:38:00.280 welcome in my home. Yeah. 782 00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:03.519 I'm glad they're out there doing what they do, but 783 00:38:03.639 --> 00:38:05.159 I do not wish to be friends. 784 00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:07.239 Right like like like no spoilers, but they gave they 785 00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:10.440 gave beefy arms to things that shouldn't have arms, and 786 00:38:10.519 --> 00:38:11.599 it's deeply upsetting. 787 00:38:11.800 --> 00:38:15.000 Everything has gorilla muscles and an ostrich just shouldn't it 788 00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:16.519 just shouldn't have gorilla muscles. 789 00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:21.000 Yeah, I don't like like, I will purposely after uh 790 00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:24.400 you know, some some bananas you need those abilities to 791 00:38:24.679 --> 00:38:28.559 get to I will detransform. So the screen that you 792 00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:31.880 get when you collect the banana, is it with one 793 00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:34.599 of those monstrosity kind of like their faces. 794 00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:36.599 When like, look, I do prefer to DK's face when 795 00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:38.480 he gets a banana. He's got that big kind of 796 00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:43.039 toothy grin that I think is great. But the the 797 00:38:44.079 --> 00:38:47.880 the pose they do, all those of Banana Madia things 798 00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:52.719 is very good. I usually still enjoy those. Yeah a mania, 799 00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:59.800 Yeah that's what I got. Yeah, Donkey Kong's Banana Ma. 800 00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:04.719 Speaking about one game that is a new entry into 801 00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:08.320 the franchise, Jeff Grubb, you have checked out Ninja Guiden 802 00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:09.360 rage Bound. 803 00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:11.719 But I'm sorry, not your best not your best segue, 804 00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:14.239 jan Most of these games are new entries that are franchise. 805 00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:16.760 Well, that's just where the industry is at right now. 806 00:39:18.079 --> 00:39:20.960 The show here, there's not a lot of those. 807 00:39:21.559 --> 00:39:23.719 It's a commentary of the date of the industry. 808 00:39:24.320 --> 00:39:27.320 Uh, Ninja Gotten rage Bound, Yeah, I was. I loved 809 00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:30.239 Ninja Guiden on the Nintendo Entertainment System. 810 00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:30.599 Uh. 811 00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:32.920 We played that all the time as a kid. I 812 00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:34.880 think I eventually got to the very end and then 813 00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:36.800 couldn't beat the boss rush at the end, So I 814 00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:39.400 never beat the original Ninja Guid him. Yeah. Like the 815 00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:42.039 Xbox games, for sure played a bunch of those. Don't 816 00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:44.119 know if I ever completed those, but they're very good. 817 00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:46.159 They're hard. They're hard, and that's the whole idea, and 818 00:39:46.159 --> 00:39:49.920 they're they're great because they were hard. This game is 819 00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:52.800 definitely a successor to the ne e s and arcade 820 00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:57.159 style games, a little informed by the Laiter games, but 821 00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:00.480 it's just a really good one of of what it's 822 00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:03.519 trying to be, and that is a two D action 823 00:40:03.679 --> 00:40:06.800 game that makes you feel cool and gives you a 824 00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:10.239 lot of opportunities to express yourself through through the various 825 00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:12.800 abilities of the characters. The kind of the hook here 826 00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:16.119 is you're a ninja and you get paired up with 827 00:40:16.480 --> 00:40:19.519 a ninja from a rival clan who becomes like sort 828 00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:22.039 of your ghost partner. She becomes your odd rock essentially, 829 00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:25.199 and she could throw the shirrik in or what it's 830 00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:28.440 it called the little pointy things she could Yeah, she 831 00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:31.239 could throw those, and you have you have the sword. 832 00:40:31.320 --> 00:40:32.639 You could do both at the same time. But when 833 00:40:32.679 --> 00:40:34.480 you use her powers that uses a little bit of meter. 834 00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:37.360 But then there's you know, a powerful move that she 835 00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:40.400 has like once per round or once per level. Uh, 836 00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:43.400 and and it's you know, it's very cool, but it 837 00:40:43.559 --> 00:40:46.079 gets better when you start getting into the challenge stages 838 00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:48.559 and you have to uh, sort of use all of 839 00:40:48.599 --> 00:40:51.760 these abilities and it's platform ability, platform and abilities. It 840 00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:57.079 is like very offensive combat abilities like this guillotine spin 841 00:40:57.239 --> 00:40:59.719 move where if you jump in the air and you 842 00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:01.880 hit hit the attack button or hit the jump button 843 00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:03.960 right as you're about to be hit, you'll bounce off them, 844 00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:07.559 very similar to like a cuphead something like that, and 845 00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:10.800 that figures into both the platforming and the combat. There's 846 00:41:10.920 --> 00:41:13.559 just a lot of opportunities to look and feel cool, 847 00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:16.360 and the game knows how to build levels around that, 848 00:41:16.599 --> 00:41:18.000 and so I've been really into it. And then you 849 00:41:18.039 --> 00:41:20.480 get to the boss fights, and the boss fights are 850 00:41:21.239 --> 00:41:23.760 you know, the pattern recognition thing you kind of want 851 00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:27.079 from a two D action game, and I've really enjoyed those. 852 00:41:27.159 --> 00:41:29.840 They've taken me about four or five tries in some cases, 853 00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:32.679 and I think it's the right level of difficulty. And 854 00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:34.960 once you dial it in, you just again you like 855 00:41:35.159 --> 00:41:37.079 look up at the screen and you're just doing the 856 00:41:37.159 --> 00:41:40.320 coolest stuff and feeling very ninja like. And I've been 857 00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:42.639 very happy with the game so far because of that. So, yeah, 858 00:41:42.679 --> 00:41:45.880 I'm maybe halfway through and I'm gonna keep playing it. 859 00:41:46.280 --> 00:41:48.360 I've only played a little bit of it, but I've 860 00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:49.880 been enjoying it quite a bit. 861 00:41:49.960 --> 00:41:54.519 Have you did you play The Messenger some of the Messenger? Yeah, 862 00:41:54.559 --> 00:41:58.039 I didn't super click for me. The Messenger. I know 863 00:41:58.159 --> 00:41:58.519 you love it. 864 00:41:58.920 --> 00:42:00.880 I love The Messenger, and like one of the things 865 00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:02.880 I liked about it was, you know, you kind of 866 00:42:03.000 --> 00:42:04.480 use all these things in the environment and like the 867 00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:07.760 enemy projectiles and enemies as like ways to get extra jumps, 868 00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:09.880 and that's that's you talked about, but that's in this game. 869 00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:11.360 I don't know, I love that stuff. I think it's 870 00:42:11.800 --> 00:42:12.760 super satisfying. 871 00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:15.960 They definitely build the entire levels around that, Like you 872 00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:19.199 can tell when there's an opportunity for you to do 873 00:42:19.719 --> 00:42:21.719 like an extra jump and there are so something hidden. 874 00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:23.599 They make it very clear there's an enemy that will 875 00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:26.440 respawn in a specific point even if you kill it, 876 00:42:26.559 --> 00:42:27.880 so that you can get up there and try to 877 00:42:27.960 --> 00:42:30.480 do it. So it's pretty friendly in terms of its design. 878 00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:32.239 It wants you to feel cool. It's not trying to 879 00:42:32.320 --> 00:42:35.320 like hide anything here, and so it feels very considerate. 880 00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:38.000 This is from the team that made Blasphemous and Blasphemous Too, uh, 881 00:42:38.719 --> 00:42:42.559 I know has some fans. Yeah, those those are solid games. Yeah, 882 00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:44.960 this this does feel like it's you know, they continue 883 00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:46.679 to get better at making these kinds of games, and 884 00:42:47.280 --> 00:42:50.519 I'm super into it. Is were you fighting the Catholic church. 885 00:42:50.719 --> 00:42:54.679 Here you actually play as KINGI, but Re shows up, 886 00:42:55.239 --> 00:42:57.360 but now he's not fighting the Catholic. Well, I guess, 887 00:42:57.400 --> 00:42:59.639 I don't know for sure. Some of them seem pretty Catholic. 888 00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:00.880 I get it. 889 00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:05.840 I got it all right, gang. My vision is getting 890 00:43:05.920 --> 00:43:07.800 blurry because I think I got a migraine coming on. 891 00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:09.360 But I took some medicine, so we're fine. 892 00:43:09.360 --> 00:43:09.840 We're okay. 893 00:43:10.880 --> 00:43:14.840 Time will heal all just like Time Flies. It's a 894 00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:18.920 very small game that I have been checking out. I 895 00:43:19.039 --> 00:43:20.199 kind of want to do a quick look of it, 896 00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:22.440 but it is a very it's like a two hour game, 897 00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:24.559 so I don't want to spoil too much. This is 898 00:43:24.679 --> 00:43:28.800 very much akin to kind of like an untitled Goose 899 00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:30.800 game where you are an animal and you have a 900 00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:35.519 various set of two dues to do. But the funny 901 00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:38.800 thing about this is you are a fly, and based 902 00:43:38.880 --> 00:43:43.960 on your location, it pulls up like World Health Organization 903 00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:47.360 data as to how long a fly lives for. So 904 00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:50.960 in the United States, apparently a fly will live for 905 00:43:51.119 --> 00:43:55.840 seventy seconds according to the data average on average. 906 00:43:55.880 --> 00:43:57.480 I don't know. I didn't read too much into it. 907 00:43:58.119 --> 00:44:00.440 It's got to be on average, right, yeah, on average? 908 00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:00.760 I believe. 909 00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:00.960 Yes. 910 00:44:01.119 --> 00:44:06.199 So your runs in this game, depending on where you live, 911 00:44:06.400 --> 00:44:08.760 are as long as a fly will live on average, 912 00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:11.760 So in the United States, it's about seventy six seconds. 913 00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:14.920 So every run that you have in this game is 914 00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:17.639 seventy six seconds to complete your to do list. 915 00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:18.719 Oh that's so funny. 916 00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:22.960 And if you perhaps you know, die at the end 917 00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:25.960 of those seventy six seconds, or you run into an obstacle, 918 00:44:26.480 --> 00:44:29.360 say you buzz yourself on accident on like a light 919 00:44:29.400 --> 00:44:33.519 bulb or drowned somewhere, you die and you restart the 920 00:44:33.599 --> 00:44:36.360 next run and you were supposed to complete it's about 921 00:44:36.679 --> 00:44:40.320 ten tasks, I believe, all in one run. But the 922 00:44:40.559 --> 00:44:44.880 great thing is you see all of your previous flies there. 923 00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:47.679 So oh fine, in. 924 00:44:47.760 --> 00:44:50.239 One run I accidentally burned myself on a light bulb 925 00:44:50.519 --> 00:44:52.800 and then my fly fell straight to the ground. The 926 00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:55.639 next run, I see that same fly that was burned 927 00:44:55.639 --> 00:44:58.000 by a light bulb there. And then the very mean 928 00:44:58.239 --> 00:44:58.559 they're like. 929 00:44:58.639 --> 00:45:01.239 Are you seeing them like go like flying around or 930 00:45:01.239 --> 00:45:03.559 do you just see their dead bodies dead bodies just 931 00:45:03.639 --> 00:45:06.039 their carcasses? Yeah, okay, I love that. 932 00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:09.119 So the game is very very simple. It's it's just 933 00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:11.800 black and white very simple art style, but there is 934 00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:14.559 a lot of character into it. It definitely feels like 935 00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:16.440 the type of game where they encourage you to poke 936 00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:20.679 around and yeah it's cute, time flies. Maybe we'll try 937 00:45:20.679 --> 00:45:21.559 and get a quick look up. 938 00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:23.320 Yeah this looks cool. 939 00:45:23.480 --> 00:45:26.239 Yeah, yeah, I remember playing this out an SGF like 940 00:45:26.639 --> 00:45:29.719 last year or something. It's kind of like that Stanley 941 00:45:29.800 --> 00:45:32.360 parable vibe is just going there and the fuck around, 942 00:45:32.440 --> 00:45:34.199 see what happens. Yeah, it's new stuff. 943 00:45:34.519 --> 00:45:38.760 Yes, I dig it a lot, and gosh, you know, 944 00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:41.960 flying around is very fun, just like Mike Minatti has 945 00:45:41.960 --> 00:45:45.199 been flying around in the Galaxy the Outer Wilds. 946 00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:51.840 Yes, this was my punishment from Dan who trounced us 947 00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:57.599 Antonio's pro Skater three plus four, beloved kind of puzzle 948 00:45:57.719 --> 00:46:01.280 game from twenty nineteen. I found I failed twenty nineteen 949 00:46:01.320 --> 00:46:04.639 as a year really badly. Like at the time, I 950 00:46:04.760 --> 00:46:09.199 had not played this Resident Evil to remake, I didn't 951 00:46:09.320 --> 00:46:13.000 play through Control Secero. I've been doing a twenty nineteen 952 00:46:13.239 --> 00:46:16.960 aology tour basically lately. I think I'm just going to 953 00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:19.599 play Control after this to complete all of that. 954 00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:20.440 Mike. 955 00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:23.159 The cool kids are now calling it the Revenge Tour. 956 00:46:24.119 --> 00:46:27.480 Oh okay, gotcha. The Mike MANAUGHTI Revenge Tour where I 957 00:46:27.599 --> 00:46:30.360 kill everyone who's wrong me, I mean play video Games 958 00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:31.599 twenty nineteen. 959 00:46:32.960 --> 00:46:34.800 It was like someone else's Rage Bound. 960 00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:39.639 It's funny because I know people love this game. 961 00:46:39.679 --> 00:46:41.400 You can't read your top ten list from twenty nineteen 962 00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:44.039 less I joined GB Max. So now, okay, I guess. 963 00:46:43.880 --> 00:46:48.639 I shouldn't behind a pay well, but I think it 964 00:46:48.760 --> 00:46:50.119 was My game of the oar of the year was 965 00:46:50.280 --> 00:46:52.599 Firebom Three Houses, and I like that game, but like 966 00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:56.199 it already would not be that anymore for sure. But 967 00:46:56.280 --> 00:46:58.679 it's funny because I still somehow didn't really know what 968 00:46:58.800 --> 00:46:59.679 this game was about. 969 00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:00.920 Kind of figured it was. 970 00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:04.800 I figured out something kind of like Missed. I knew 971 00:47:04.880 --> 00:47:07.039 that as some kind of first person puzzle thing I 972 00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:10.119 didn't and something about space was involved. I had no 973 00:47:10.239 --> 00:47:12.000 idea about some of the other aspects of it, like 974 00:47:12.119 --> 00:47:13.679 the time loop and all stuff. I'm still afraid of 975 00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:15.760 spoiling the game because I really liked that it wasn't 976 00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:17.920 spoiled for me somehow, and I did. 977 00:47:17.920 --> 00:47:19.480 Kind of know what the reality is is like for 978 00:47:19.519 --> 00:47:22.199 a game like this is unless you are intending to 979 00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:25.199 play it imminently. People talk about it, and nothing really 980 00:47:25.280 --> 00:47:27.920 sinks in So we talked about this game, probably said 981 00:47:27.960 --> 00:47:29.679 a bunch of the things that happened, and they just 982 00:47:29.719 --> 00:47:31.679 didn't register you because they weren't in context for you. 983 00:47:31.760 --> 00:47:34.679 Once they're in context, that game has so many secrets 984 00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:36.599 and cool things to it. It's incredible. 985 00:47:36.639 --> 00:47:38.119 Yeah, that's like, you know, the crux of it is 986 00:47:38.159 --> 00:47:41.199 that year you have a whole solar system to explore 987 00:47:41.760 --> 00:47:44.880 and try to figure out why basically the sun explodes 988 00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:47.199 and everybody dies at the end of the cycle. When 989 00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:50.280 that happens, you wake up and you start the cycle again. 990 00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:53.679 You carry nothing over button knowledge. And even at first 991 00:47:53.679 --> 00:47:54.880 in the game, I'm like, okay, am I going to 992 00:47:54.920 --> 00:47:58.079 get like some upgrades for me or my ship. I'm 993 00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:01.599 gonna get some like items. No, it's really just get upgrades. 994 00:48:01.639 --> 00:48:07.039 But to your brain, yeah, it's all just knowledge and 995 00:48:07.159 --> 00:48:09.280 like and it's so fun just going out there first 996 00:48:09.599 --> 00:48:12.519 establishing a base layer of knowledge, like learning, Okay, this 997 00:48:12.679 --> 00:48:16.320 is this planet, and sand is moving from one of 998 00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:19.599 the planets to the other one over here, and this 999 00:48:19.719 --> 00:48:22.840 planet has a moon that's just shooting volcanic rocks at it. 1000 00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:23.639 Just kind of amazing. 1001 00:48:23.880 --> 00:48:27.119 Yeah, just trying to understand what's going on everywhere in 1002 00:48:27.239 --> 00:48:31.000 this weird source system. While slowly piecing together elements of 1003 00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:34.159 the backstories. You can then kind of understand what you 1004 00:48:34.760 --> 00:48:36.760 even need to be doing, right because at first that's 1005 00:48:36.800 --> 00:48:38.679 not even clear. But what's even happening? 1006 00:48:38.719 --> 00:48:40.039 What do I need to do? 1007 00:48:40.280 --> 00:48:43.679 What am I What am I trying to accomplish here? 1008 00:48:44.199 --> 00:48:46.199 And kind of like ten hours in you sort of 1009 00:48:46.239 --> 00:48:48.480 get to that point where I'm like fifteen hours in 1010 00:48:48.559 --> 00:48:50.760 right now, so I'm feel like I'm starting to make 1011 00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:55.920 some leeway into solving the mystery. It's like it's likely 1012 00:48:55.960 --> 00:48:58.280 didn't like, do these runs have a lot of purpose 1013 00:48:58.400 --> 00:49:00.280 now and it's not just kind of flying out and 1014 00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:03.519 see what I can sort of learn. Because of the 1015 00:49:03.559 --> 00:49:05.599 way my brain works, sometimes I get frustrated when I 1016 00:49:05.639 --> 00:49:07.519 think I'm pulling on a thread and I think the 1017 00:49:07.599 --> 00:49:10.079 threads about to end and I was doing something really 1018 00:49:10.159 --> 00:49:13.480 hard and I get somewhere and it's like, oh, I'm 1019 00:49:13.519 --> 00:49:15.960 still missing like one or two things actually here, and 1020 00:49:16.719 --> 00:49:18.960 nothing important seems to be happening like I think it is. 1021 00:49:19.239 --> 00:49:21.559 Now a lot of times, something important is happening and 1022 00:49:21.639 --> 00:49:24.119 I am learning something that's going to help me out somewhere. 1023 00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:26.199 So that's not really a problem with the game. That's 1024 00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:29.440 just the way mighty brain works sort of thing. 1025 00:49:29.880 --> 00:49:35.920 But I gotta say that game scared the shit out 1026 00:49:35.960 --> 00:49:36.119 of me. 1027 00:49:36.280 --> 00:49:39.119 Oh actually yeah, yeah, that's one of like the few 1028 00:49:39.239 --> 00:49:40.840 games that left. 1029 00:49:41.320 --> 00:49:43.360 It was just unnerving at some points. 1030 00:49:44.440 --> 00:49:49.960 I agree, cool Jen, there's something that happens with the 1031 00:49:50.280 --> 00:49:56.599 vastness of space. It's scrat it's it's bothered. It's poking, 1032 00:49:56.679 --> 00:49:58.800 the same thing that bothers me about like the ocean 1033 00:49:58.880 --> 00:49:59.239 at night. 1034 00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:00.320 Uh. 1035 00:50:00.519 --> 00:50:02.920 And it is so good at creating that sense of 1036 00:50:03.119 --> 00:50:08.480 like nothingness and these cosmic entities that are monstrous and 1037 00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:12.840 just inherently scary due to their side It fucking terrified me. 1038 00:50:13.000 --> 00:50:15.559 Like I legit got dizzy a few times and was 1039 00:50:15.679 --> 00:50:18.800 just like I need to like play this maybe a 1040 00:50:18.880 --> 00:50:20.119 couple more feet back. 1041 00:50:20.639 --> 00:50:20.840 You know. 1042 00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:23.599 All that was like true for me backler. But like 1043 00:50:23.800 --> 00:50:25.639 the way my brain works is like that feels like 1044 00:50:25.679 --> 00:50:30.280 a warm blanket. It's like yeah, right, Gems, it's very 1045 00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:34.039 very similar. Like my brain's overwhelmed by this and it's like, well, 1046 00:50:34.119 --> 00:50:36.679 I want to keep pushing and explore and explore and explore. 1047 00:50:37.320 --> 00:50:39.880 It fits very well with my brain that way. But yes, 1048 00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:41.800 and I agree with your assessment of it for sure. 1049 00:50:41.840 --> 00:50:44.159 And then there's parts of it that are legitimately like scary. 1050 00:50:44.280 --> 00:50:47.960 It's yeah, yeah, it's great though. I mean, I've never 1051 00:50:48.000 --> 00:50:49.320 played the DLC. I'm realizing. 1052 00:50:49.400 --> 00:50:53.719 Yeah, I'm streaming a lot of plays. Everyone keeps asking 1053 00:50:53.760 --> 00:50:55.880 me if I if I'm playing the DLC, and I'm like, 1054 00:50:55.880 --> 00:50:57.360 I don't. I have no idea what that would even 1055 00:50:57.440 --> 00:51:00.760 be for a game like this. Yeah, there's a whole 1056 00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:02.360 other kind of mystery there. 1057 00:51:03.000 --> 00:51:05.039 You could go straight to that if you wanted to 1058 00:51:05.199 --> 00:51:06.960 write those teams where it's like, if you know what 1059 00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:09.039 you're doing, you can go right to it. Okay, cool? 1060 00:51:09.079 --> 00:51:11.320 Oh yeah, to the end and to that stuff. Yes, 1061 00:51:11.360 --> 00:51:12.760 you should be able to go right to the DLC. 1062 00:51:13.559 --> 00:51:16.119 Oh is it like a MISS where I think I'll 1063 00:51:16.159 --> 00:51:17.880 tell you what I'm playing Miss? This game is a 1064 00:51:17.920 --> 00:51:19.480 lot more like Miss than I was even expecting. But 1065 00:51:19.719 --> 00:51:21.239 is it like a MISS where if you know you 1066 00:51:21.320 --> 00:51:24.599 can just beat it right away? Oh? Yeah, yep. I 1067 00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:27.360 definitely like tried to do that run as fast as 1068 00:51:27.400 --> 00:51:30.480 I possibly could. A couple of times. I told this 1069 00:51:30.599 --> 00:51:32.639 to Mike back lard Jan. Do you guys know who 1070 00:51:32.760 --> 00:51:36.599 was like the producer on this game. No masi Oka 1071 00:51:36.960 --> 00:51:40.920 Oh why guys? Yes, hero from Heroes and he worked 1072 00:51:40.920 --> 00:51:44.920 as a special events effects supervisor on ILM for years 1073 00:51:44.920 --> 00:51:46.760 and years. He's like one of the main guys that 1074 00:51:46.880 --> 00:51:49.559 developed the water technology at ILM, and then he was 1075 00:51:49.679 --> 00:51:52.400 hero on Heroes and then he made this. He's still 1076 00:51:52.440 --> 00:51:54.519 an actor on like I think he well maybe Hawaii 1077 00:51:54.559 --> 00:51:55.920 five Oh was a couple of years ago. He was 1078 00:51:55.960 --> 00:51:59.039 on that. He's I think the most interesting man in 1079 00:51:59.079 --> 00:51:59.360 the world. 1080 00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:00.320 Wow. 1081 00:52:01.079 --> 00:52:08.320 Really yes, like legitimately good at everything he does, like funny, entertaining, brilliant, 1082 00:52:08.719 --> 00:52:10.760 like world class brilliant. 1083 00:52:10.639 --> 00:52:13.559 And cuddainly want to drive a Nissan Versa. 1084 00:52:13.719 --> 00:52:20.079 Now I didn't know that. That is unbelievable. Isn't that cool? Yeah, 1085 00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:22.159 that's one of my favorite facts about that game. Is 1086 00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:23.840 like a cool dude doing cool things. 1087 00:52:25.519 --> 00:52:27.199 I just like flying around space. 1088 00:52:27.599 --> 00:52:29.360 Yep, it's a good feeling. Yeah. 1089 00:52:29.519 --> 00:52:31.280 I used to be a really big Star Trek guy, 1090 00:52:31.400 --> 00:52:33.519 and we have some good Star Trek games, but there's 1091 00:52:33.519 --> 00:52:36.440 never been like the Star Trek game that really encompasses 1092 00:52:36.519 --> 00:52:39.320 everything about what Star Trek you know, is and what 1093 00:52:39.440 --> 00:52:42.239 kind of makes it neat. This isn't exactly that, But 1094 00:52:42.360 --> 00:52:44.840 there is something about the whole I'm you know, ticking 1095 00:52:44.920 --> 00:52:48.760 off and landing on planets, and you know there's something 1096 00:52:48.840 --> 00:52:52.760 kind of physicky and sciencey about this and the exploration 1097 00:52:53.039 --> 00:52:57.320 and the learning and the discovery that is scratching that itch. 1098 00:52:57.559 --> 00:53:00.599 I just love piloting my little spaceship and getting weird gravity, 1099 00:53:01.320 --> 00:53:04.280 like having weird close calls, like that's that one planet. 1100 00:53:04.679 --> 00:53:07.559 It kind of has like a hollow equator. At pretty 1101 00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:09.960 early on in the run, Yeah, I thought it was 1102 00:53:10.039 --> 00:53:12.119 autopiloting toube, but something messed up, so I was coming 1103 00:53:12.159 --> 00:53:14.039 in way too hot, but I was in with some maneuvers. 1104 00:53:14.039 --> 00:53:16.639 I went right through that hall like it was like 1105 00:53:16.840 --> 00:53:19.159 right threading the needle. I was like, oh that was 1106 00:53:19.239 --> 00:53:20.280 scary but felt good. 1107 00:53:21.320 --> 00:53:24.519 And then you're right like your little spaceship. You can 1108 00:53:24.639 --> 00:53:27.280 kind of tell it's like a miniature solar system, which 1109 00:53:27.280 --> 00:53:29.599 is like you're in a wooden spaceship, And like then 1110 00:53:29.679 --> 00:53:31.320 the physics like really clicked in a place. When you 1111 00:53:31.480 --> 00:53:34.800 consider that, it's like they probably modeled this to have 1112 00:53:34.960 --> 00:53:37.440 a certain level of gravity that works even though it's 1113 00:53:37.519 --> 00:53:40.960 like a couple miles wide, this entire solar system, and yeah, 1114 00:53:40.960 --> 00:53:43.039 I just enjoy thinking about the way that they kind 1115 00:53:43.079 --> 00:53:46.039 of pieced all the map together here, that that stormy planet, 1116 00:53:46.639 --> 00:53:48.960 my first time landing on there, and all the things 1117 00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:51.079 that happened on that planet, like the first time when 1118 00:53:51.079 --> 00:53:53.800 you don't know how to navigate. It is just like 1119 00:53:54.679 --> 00:53:56.440 best moment in video games in a lot of ways 1120 00:53:56.440 --> 00:53:58.039 where it's like, oh my god, this is such a 1121 00:53:58.119 --> 00:53:58.559 cool thing. 1122 00:53:58.800 --> 00:54:01.079 That's a good example of like you know, pretty early 1123 00:54:01.159 --> 00:54:03.320 on I figured out something in the Bramble planet where 1124 00:54:03.320 --> 00:54:05.679 I went through kind of this maze. I found a 1125 00:54:05.719 --> 00:54:07.480 guy and at the end all I did was fine, 1126 00:54:07.800 --> 00:54:10.559 this thing. I was like, wow, this, uh, this thing 1127 00:54:11.119 --> 00:54:13.960 is immune's electricity. I was like, well, can I take 1128 00:54:14.039 --> 00:54:14.599 some with me? 1129 00:54:14.719 --> 00:54:14.800 Am? 1130 00:54:14.840 --> 00:54:17.480 I going to make my ship like an insult? What's 1131 00:54:17.519 --> 00:54:18.039 going on here? 1132 00:54:18.119 --> 00:54:18.159 What? 1133 00:54:18.320 --> 00:54:19.079 Why does this help me? 1134 00:54:19.119 --> 00:54:19.239 Then? 1135 00:54:19.280 --> 00:54:22.400 Like yeah, way later I was like, oh that knowledge 1136 00:54:22.719 --> 00:54:28.880 is useful here. Also Scouts in the game, what the 1137 00:54:28.920 --> 00:54:32.000 Scout come again? Scout dance the dog Scout. 1138 00:54:31.719 --> 00:54:35.800 But he's a camera now a camera camera And. 1139 00:54:35.840 --> 00:54:38.000 Every time I said him, I'm like, go ahead, go Scout, 1140 00:54:38.320 --> 00:54:41.320 but I'll say Scout please when he like misses or something. 1141 00:54:42.519 --> 00:54:43.639 But okay, good job. 1142 00:54:43.760 --> 00:54:47.480 Yeah, even that though it is great because like, again, 1143 00:54:47.559 --> 00:54:49.159 you have this thing. I'm like, I mean, this is 1144 00:54:49.239 --> 00:54:51.239 a mildy youse, so I can send out a camera. 1145 00:54:51.400 --> 00:54:53.280 Then as he played the game, you figure out all 1146 00:54:53.440 --> 00:54:57.039 sorts of Basically, you're one tool, right. 1147 00:54:57.480 --> 00:54:59.960 I forgot to bring this up during the band secon. 1148 00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:03.559 But you know, when you go backpacking, you kind of 1149 00:55:03.639 --> 00:55:06.480 just settle and find a site to place your tent 1150 00:55:06.559 --> 00:55:10.960 and everything. Uh the place we're hiking to. Uh, we 1151 00:55:11.000 --> 00:55:13.920 wound up setting up camp next to a group of 1152 00:55:14.119 --> 00:55:17.519 boy scouts. And let me tell you, boy scouts that 1153 00:55:17.559 --> 00:55:23.320 are twelve to fifteen tell are terrible at telling stories. 1154 00:55:24.039 --> 00:55:26.480 Oh they're the worst. Yeah, they're terrible at everything. 1155 00:55:26.599 --> 00:55:28.840 I was gonna say, yeah, just like one of them 1156 00:55:28.920 --> 00:55:30.119 was very polite and we're. 1157 00:55:30.000 --> 00:55:32.000 Just like, hey, you guys, have a good hike. 1158 00:55:32.800 --> 00:55:35.960 Cool you guys. You guys need your water purified. We 1159 00:55:36.119 --> 00:55:40.679 have some some straws if you need them. Youknos you 1160 00:55:40.760 --> 00:55:43.320 need a bunch of knots. But that's what that's all 1161 00:55:43.320 --> 00:55:43.639 I could do. 1162 00:55:43.760 --> 00:55:46.519 It's knots. What's your job? Knots? 1163 00:55:47.039 --> 00:55:48.639 Just not. 1164 00:55:49.920 --> 00:55:52.360 I'm glad that I just played video games when I 1165 00:55:52.440 --> 00:55:55.440 was fifteen, because I was so deeply interesting. I'm glad 1166 00:55:55.480 --> 00:55:57.079 I didn't bother too many people. 1167 00:55:57.960 --> 00:55:59.239 That just avoided them. Mostly. 1168 00:55:59.599 --> 00:56:01.679 Yeah, just like I'll think I'll go in here and 1169 00:56:01.719 --> 00:56:05.800 I'll watch Star Trek and play a lot of GameCube. 1170 00:56:07.280 --> 00:56:09.239 So to bring the two together, I think I am 1171 00:56:09.360 --> 00:56:13.440 going to do uh, maybe not hiking, but actually do 1172 00:56:13.639 --> 00:56:16.599 a camp out night in my backyard set up, and 1173 00:56:17.159 --> 00:56:19.280 I'm looking at outdoor TVs. Who knows I'll be able 1174 00:56:19.280 --> 00:56:21.239 to afford one, but if I can, I'm going to 1175 00:56:21.280 --> 00:56:23.880 set one up outdoors and I'll play the Outer wilds 1176 00:56:23.960 --> 00:56:26.119 DLC that I've never played before, and I want to 1177 00:56:26.119 --> 00:56:29.559 play that outside. Buy a quire and like just hav 1178 00:56:29.719 --> 00:56:32.039 like completely vibe out for like a day. A banjo 1179 00:56:32.679 --> 00:56:36.400 d D you want the want the forty experience. Yeah, 1180 00:56:36.440 --> 00:56:38.360 I'll back are. You can come over and shake my 1181 00:56:38.480 --> 00:56:40.400 chair when when the spaceship is going. 1182 00:56:42.920 --> 00:56:47.679 Well, let's stick into the wide void of space. Because 1183 00:56:47.719 --> 00:56:50.480 Mike Manati, you have been playing Gradius origins. 1184 00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:54.079 I decided I was going to pronounce that. However, Jan says, 1185 00:56:54.079 --> 00:56:56.039 because I say grotius a lot, I think it might 1186 00:56:56.079 --> 00:56:58.360 be wrong. So all right, whatever, creat but if don't 1187 00:56:58.400 --> 00:57:02.840 go with me for pronunciation now it's Gradius origins. Now 1188 00:57:04.199 --> 00:57:08.360 this is another collection of classic Capcom games. This one's 1189 00:57:08.400 --> 00:57:12.639 actually coming out on the seventh, so two days away 1190 00:57:12.679 --> 00:57:14.960 from here. I was able to get a code and 1191 00:57:15.320 --> 00:57:17.519 check you get out mostly on my switch too. I'm 1192 00:57:17.559 --> 00:57:20.039 pretty sure it's just a switch code, right. They've been 1193 00:57:20.079 --> 00:57:21.280 doing a lot of these, a lot of really good 1194 00:57:21.320 --> 00:57:24.079 Castlevania ones. There was a decent Contra collection not too 1195 00:57:24.159 --> 00:57:27.119 long ago. So you know, you have the first three 1196 00:57:27.320 --> 00:57:31.159 Gradiuses and then also the Salamander games, which is just 1197 00:57:31.199 --> 00:57:34.760 the Gradiut spinoff. The first one came out here as 1198 00:57:34.880 --> 00:57:38.480 Life Force. Then there's also a Salamander two that like 1199 00:57:38.880 --> 00:57:40.440 was it? You know, there are all arcade games, but 1200 00:57:40.519 --> 00:57:42.800 there was also a Placation one version of that, so 1201 00:57:42.880 --> 00:57:44.840 these are all, you know, very classic schmups. The whole 1202 00:57:44.880 --> 00:57:47.960 thing was the gradiest games is the way the upgrades 1203 00:57:48.000 --> 00:57:50.400 work and you get those options, which is just like 1204 00:57:50.480 --> 00:57:52.719 the balls that follow you and shoot the same exact 1205 00:57:52.760 --> 00:57:55.639 weapons you do. And I love that they're called options 1206 00:57:55.840 --> 00:57:59.199 for some reason. You have incredible music because it's Kanami. 1207 00:57:59.320 --> 00:58:02.800 The really neat thing here is that kind of like 1208 00:58:02.880 --> 00:58:05.559 those Consovani collections we had where there was like oh, 1209 00:58:05.639 --> 00:58:07.960 they remade Haunted Castle, so there's a whole new game 1210 00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:11.119 in here. Blah blah blah. Here there was just a 1211 00:58:11.440 --> 00:58:15.840 Salamander three, and it's an entirely brand new, schmupp a 1212 00:58:16.039 --> 00:58:18.760 ttly new game, very much in the style of the 1213 00:58:18.840 --> 00:58:21.079 other ones. It's kind of like, oh, what if they 1214 00:58:21.159 --> 00:58:24.559 had made, you know, another Salmander like the late nineties, 1215 00:58:24.639 --> 00:58:27.000 but it was still kind of pixel based. We're kind 1216 00:58:27.039 --> 00:58:29.880 of like, remember those rebirth games we have from Konami 1217 00:58:30.199 --> 00:58:33.639 that were made by M two, who again made Salamander three. 1218 00:58:33.679 --> 00:58:37.199 Here was like Castlevania Rebirth. There's even a Gradiest Rebirth. 1219 00:58:37.440 --> 00:58:39.360 It's kind of like one of those where it's like, oh, 1220 00:58:39.400 --> 00:58:42.960 this is very familiar and similar but new. Yeah, playing 1221 00:58:43.039 --> 00:58:45.599 through that is super neat and it's super fun. It 1222 00:58:45.679 --> 00:58:47.440 looks great, it sounds great. 1223 00:58:47.519 --> 00:58:48.599 Greatest always look cool. 1224 00:58:49.159 --> 00:58:52.800 Yeah, Greatest does look cool, even like the nsports. Yeah, 1225 00:58:52.960 --> 00:58:54.840 like Gray is one, I thought that's really neat. I 1226 00:58:54.880 --> 00:58:56.960 played through that on Nisoa, so I'm going to still 1227 00:58:56.960 --> 00:58:58.239 had a good time with it. And this is again 1228 00:58:58.719 --> 00:59:01.320 pretty much the UK versions. There's also there are like 1229 00:59:01.440 --> 00:59:04.119 multiple versions of most of these games, though, so you 1230 00:59:04.320 --> 00:59:06.679 get played like the Japanese version or the American version, 1231 00:59:06.719 --> 00:59:09.320 or like you know, revision two of the Japanese version. 1232 00:59:09.559 --> 00:59:11.920 This is M two doing the ports, and they're known 1233 00:59:11.960 --> 00:59:14.920 for making sure they always are very comprehensive and they 1234 00:59:15.199 --> 00:59:17.159 do great ports as well. Like these games are probably 1235 00:59:17.199 --> 00:59:18.679 running correct because it's M two. 1236 00:59:19.000 --> 00:59:21.960 Right, And there's even like a lot of options, not 1237 00:59:22.760 --> 00:59:24.880 the things of all your ship like things in a menu, 1238 00:59:26.760 --> 00:59:28.920 like the games are meant to be Emula perfectly. You 1239 00:59:29.000 --> 00:59:31.559 can like go into the options and like fix some 1240 00:59:32.280 --> 00:59:34.239 bugs and things like that. That's bother and there's just 1241 00:59:34.320 --> 00:59:37.760 a lot of room for customization there. And then when 1242 00:59:37.760 --> 00:59:39.199 you're playing through the game too, you can just play 1243 00:59:39.239 --> 00:59:41.880 through it like normal. Since there are arcade ports, you 1244 00:59:41.920 --> 00:59:44.039 can just add a bunch of quarter seat have a 1245 00:59:44.079 --> 00:59:46.360 ton of continues. But there's even things like you know, 1246 00:59:46.760 --> 00:59:49.880 invincibility mode or you just can never die, or a 1247 00:59:50.000 --> 00:59:52.320 practice mode where if you die, it kind of rewinds 1248 00:59:52.360 --> 00:59:54.440 to a checkpoint for you, so you can keep trying 1249 00:59:55.000 --> 00:59:58.119 a certain sequence over and over until you get that 1250 00:59:58.159 --> 00:59:59.920 figured out. That's a lot of these games. You want 1251 00:59:59.920 --> 01:00:01.800 to beat them, legit, you want to beat them one 1252 01:00:01.920 --> 01:00:05.079 quarter right, It's a lot of memorization and stuff like that. 1253 01:00:05.920 --> 01:00:07.239 But yeah, I mean it's funny. 1254 01:00:07.280 --> 01:00:09.360 I never was a big schmup guy growing up, but 1255 01:00:09.400 --> 01:00:13.760 I have more appreciation for them now. Gradis is about 1256 01:00:13.840 --> 01:00:17.760 as iconic schmup series as there is. So you have 1257 01:00:17.800 --> 01:00:19.719 all that old stuff here and then salam To three 1258 01:00:19.840 --> 01:00:22.320 is this brand new game that's just there. That's that's 1259 01:00:22.360 --> 01:00:22.880 super neat. 1260 01:00:22.960 --> 01:00:24.880 I love that this is This is Origins, the one 1261 01:00:24.880 --> 01:00:25.840 that's coming out next Toe. 1262 01:00:27.480 --> 01:00:28.039 On the seventh. 1263 01:00:28.159 --> 01:00:32.559 So yeah, it's it's forty bucks on Steam, but you 1264 01:00:32.599 --> 01:00:34.760 can get it for thirty six dollars when it launches, 1265 01:00:34.800 --> 01:00:35.880 of course, ten percent off thing. 1266 01:00:37.039 --> 01:00:39.599 I always I feel like Geometry War has kind of 1267 01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:42.280 killed my interest in schmups. 1268 01:00:43.079 --> 01:00:44.880 Yeah, I think what would be good? I get what 1269 01:00:44.960 --> 01:00:47.960 you mean because it's like a similar idea, but it 1270 01:00:48.039 --> 01:00:50.199 has a very like it's very fast paced and you 1271 01:00:50.239 --> 01:00:52.760 can see the ending, like you know, the rounds probably 1272 01:00:52.800 --> 01:00:55.199 gonna last for like five minutes, and so that arcade 1273 01:00:55.320 --> 01:00:57.719 loop maybe works a little bit better at home in 1274 01:00:57.880 --> 01:01:00.840 something like that. But I've been getting better into schmups 1275 01:01:00.880 --> 01:01:03.400 like Mike recently and the dotum Pachi. I was just 1276 01:01:03.440 --> 01:01:05.280 playing it again the other night. That's the one that 1277 01:01:05.400 --> 01:01:08.000 really did it for me. I'm like, this is really good. 1278 01:01:08.159 --> 01:01:12.119 It feels modern. It also feels like the hip box 1279 01:01:12.360 --> 01:01:15.440 is appropriate because it's a bullet hell shooter, which means 1280 01:01:15.480 --> 01:01:17.639 there's bullets everywhere for you to hit and you kind 1281 01:01:17.639 --> 01:01:19.679 of have to like weave your way through it. And 1282 01:01:19.760 --> 01:01:23.159 it's on the generous side of bullet it feels like 1283 01:01:23.199 --> 01:01:25.159 I just narrowly missed that and it kind of like 1284 01:01:25.239 --> 01:01:26.840 maybe clipped the front of my ship, but it didn't 1285 01:01:26.880 --> 01:01:28.760 blow up my ship because the hip box is small, 1286 01:01:28.960 --> 01:01:30.960 and I think I really like that because I do 1287 01:01:31.079 --> 01:01:33.239 feel like I'm able then to weave between all these 1288 01:01:33.280 --> 01:01:35.800 bullets and just again feel cool like a ninja goid. 1289 01:01:35.840 --> 01:01:38.719 And the Donumpachi makes me feel awesome, makes me feel 1290 01:01:38.719 --> 01:01:40.639 like a god gamer when I'm like in the zone 1291 01:01:40.719 --> 01:01:43.119 and dodging all that stuff, and that's not something you 1292 01:01:43.199 --> 01:01:44.960 get from a ton of games right now. So I'm like, 1293 01:01:45.000 --> 01:01:47.599 I'm glad they're still out there doing their thing. I'm 1294 01:01:47.800 --> 01:01:49.800 gonna pick up this greatest one I looked on Steam. 1295 01:01:49.880 --> 01:01:52.599 M two also did a Darius collection, which is like 1296 01:01:53.039 --> 01:01:56.159 Tito's ripoff series honestly could be older the greatest. I 1297 01:01:56.239 --> 01:01:59.559 really don't know, and I'm gonna check that out as well. 1298 01:02:00.199 --> 01:02:02.320 Like some schmups, I hope, I hope we get a 1299 01:02:02.400 --> 01:02:06.639 Parodius collection now, which was Konomy. It's just like parody 1300 01:02:06.800 --> 01:02:10.599 Gradius made by them, Like it's it's the same exact gameplay, 1301 01:02:11.280 --> 01:02:13.960 but the bosses set of a giant Robot is a 1302 01:02:14.079 --> 01:02:17.119 Vegas showgirl stuff like that, right, a lot of ping 1303 01:02:17.239 --> 01:02:20.000 wins everywhere and just really goofy stuff. I always thought 1304 01:02:20.000 --> 01:02:21.960 it looked so fun, but never really had much of 1305 01:02:21.960 --> 01:02:23.880 an opportunity to play them. I don't think we've had 1306 01:02:23.920 --> 01:02:26.639 a good Parodius port in all onto. 1307 01:02:26.559 --> 01:02:30.400 And then and then Jan's got to play Joe Aniki. Yes, 1308 01:02:30.480 --> 01:02:35.599 the oily muscly dude, shoot him shooter. That's a classic. 1309 01:02:36.000 --> 01:02:37.280 Got a bunch of those in the collection now. 1310 01:02:37.320 --> 01:02:39.000 I feel like it'd only be right if Nicky and 1311 01:02:39.039 --> 01:02:41.440 I were in the same room both covered in baby oil. 1312 01:02:42.000 --> 01:02:44.400 Exactly. Yeah, we could do that next. 1313 01:02:44.480 --> 01:02:47.239 We don't have hr exactly exactly they could. 1314 01:02:47.280 --> 01:02:49.800 They wouldn't have stopped this anyway, That's right. They would 1315 01:02:49.800 --> 01:02:51.400 be like, yeah, this makes sense, Darius. 1316 01:02:51.719 --> 01:02:55.760 That's the guy from Hoody and the Blowfish, right, that's right, Darius, Yeah. 1317 01:02:55.800 --> 01:02:57.760 He does that version of Wagen Wheel that I like 1318 01:02:57.920 --> 01:03:00.400 more than the other, like the music stops get mad 1319 01:03:00.440 --> 01:03:03.079 at me that I like the cover better than the original, 1320 01:03:03.440 --> 01:03:05.760 and then I'd say, well, Bob Dylan actually came with 1321 01:03:05.880 --> 01:03:08.440 that song in a jam session. And then they rolled 1322 01:03:08.519 --> 01:03:10.519 their eyes so hard at me. 1323 01:03:12.599 --> 01:03:16.800 Uh, folks, I've called occasionally the King of the Segue, 1324 01:03:17.079 --> 01:03:19.400 but all it is is just a bunch of wordplay, 1325 01:03:19.599 --> 01:03:22.480 just like Jeff has been playing wordplay. 1326 01:03:23.079 --> 01:03:27.239 Wow. Wow. So last week, uh, back along and I were, 1327 01:03:27.639 --> 01:03:29.400 you know, staring wide out at each other, not knowing 1328 01:03:29.559 --> 01:03:31.840 what to do with this website because you all abandoned us. Yeah, 1329 01:03:31.840 --> 01:03:34.079 and he mentioned that Northern Lion had started playing this 1330 01:03:34.119 --> 01:03:36.519 wordplay game and I was like, well, let's do this 1331 01:03:36.599 --> 01:03:38.880 done paddle paddle game. And then I realized you're probably 1332 01:03:38.880 --> 01:03:40.559 gonna get frustrated with that and need to kill some 1333 01:03:40.639 --> 01:03:44.599 more time. And that was correct. If we did play 1334 01:03:44.679 --> 01:03:47.719 that for an hour. Yeah, we played. We did way 1335 01:03:47.760 --> 01:03:49.480 better than I was expecting this to do. I thought 1336 01:03:49.480 --> 01:03:51.719 we would like probably fail in like the second thing 1337 01:03:51.960 --> 01:03:53.679 and be like, this is stupid, let's give up. We 1338 01:03:53.760 --> 01:03:56.280 got like six or seven segments and it was great. 1339 01:03:56.320 --> 01:03:57.960 It was a good time. Yeah, and then and then 1340 01:03:58.000 --> 01:04:00.719 I played that gorilla like a gorillaver just one hundred 1341 01:04:00.760 --> 01:04:04.000 men game and men run the Men one. They've destroyed 1342 01:04:04.039 --> 01:04:07.239 me on the moon as a one one. They needed 1343 01:04:07.280 --> 01:04:10.280 the Moon though, well now they beat me on Earth too. 1344 01:04:10.960 --> 01:04:15.880 And then we start up wordplay, which is Bilantro meets 1345 01:04:16.320 --> 01:04:20.760 scrabble slash Boggle, and it's it's that simple, okay, and 1346 01:04:20.880 --> 01:04:25.000 it's also that good it is. So we played it 1347 01:04:25.119 --> 01:04:26.840 and I was having fun, like the back of our 1348 01:04:27.000 --> 01:04:29.679 Chuck and I were just throwing words out there, trying 1349 01:04:29.719 --> 01:04:32.920 to learn how to use essentially the jokers to maximize stuff. 1350 01:04:32.920 --> 01:04:35.000 When we were playing on the normal difficulty and we 1351 01:04:35.079 --> 01:04:36.719 got through a run and we did another run, and 1352 01:04:36.760 --> 01:04:38.199 I was immediately like, as soon as we got done 1353 01:04:38.199 --> 01:04:40.079 with UPF played it basically for the rest of the 1354 01:04:40.119 --> 01:04:41.920 weekend when I had like ten minutes here or there, 1355 01:04:42.519 --> 01:04:45.639 and it's it's really well done. Like I'm just sitting 1356 01:04:45.679 --> 01:04:47.519 here on the keyboard just typing out words, trying to 1357 01:04:47.519 --> 01:04:50.320 see if I can get as long and as long 1358 01:04:50.360 --> 01:04:52.519 as of word as possible, because it the longer it is, 1359 01:04:52.880 --> 01:04:55.079 it starts getting bonus points there at the end, you know, 1360 01:04:55.199 --> 01:04:59.079 like the sixth and seventh slaughter worth five bonus points, 1361 01:04:59.400 --> 01:05:02.039 the eighth bot is worth ten, and so on and 1362 01:05:02.599 --> 01:05:04.760 and then it's like, okay, that works to a degree, 1363 01:05:05.159 --> 01:05:07.840 But like Billatro, you really got to start getting all 1364 01:05:07.880 --> 01:05:10.079 of the jokers to help you out and make sure 1365 01:05:10.079 --> 01:05:12.400 that you are getting as big a multiple as possible 1366 01:05:12.599 --> 01:05:14.920 and as many bonus points as possible, and ideally you're 1367 01:05:14.960 --> 01:05:17.239 gonna need some synergy, especially if you start playing on 1368 01:05:17.239 --> 01:05:19.719 the higher difficulty setting. So I was able to do that, 1369 01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:23.559 got through like normal and then hard, and I think 1370 01:05:23.559 --> 01:05:26.280 I'm on legendary difficulty now, which I think is the 1371 01:05:26.320 --> 01:05:28.920 highest difficulty and I haven't been able to beat that yet. 1372 01:05:29.239 --> 01:05:33.119 But coming like crafting, like uh, you know, theory crafting 1373 01:05:33.199 --> 01:05:35.280 about best the best ways to use some of these 1374 01:05:35.960 --> 01:05:40.000 bonuses has been really rewarding. There was one where it's like, okay, 1375 01:05:40.159 --> 01:05:43.800 I have a joker that gives me a bonus if 1376 01:05:43.840 --> 01:05:46.639 I have two vowels, and then it gives me a 1377 01:05:46.679 --> 01:05:48.760 bonus if I have two of the same letter, or 1378 01:05:48.800 --> 01:05:50.119 there's another one that gives me a bonus if I 1379 01:05:50.159 --> 01:05:51.559 have two of the same letter next to each other. 1380 01:05:51.760 --> 01:05:54.280 So if I have you know, two e's next to 1381 01:05:54.360 --> 01:05:56.360 each other, that'll be good. And then I got another 1382 01:05:56.400 --> 01:05:59.039 one that's like you get a multiple for every E 1383 01:05:59.519 --> 01:06:01.599 you have in the word. I'm like, okay, now these 1384 01:06:01.639 --> 01:06:03.920 are stacking and I can start like really trying to 1385 01:06:04.119 --> 01:06:07.039 work my way in that direction. And you have the 1386 01:06:07.119 --> 01:06:10.639 ability to refresh your tile set a certain number of 1387 01:06:10.719 --> 01:06:12.840 times and you can earn more of those. So it's 1388 01:06:12.880 --> 01:06:16.719 all about balancing these resources along with trying to synergize 1389 01:06:16.760 --> 01:06:20.679 your jokers to survive as long as you can. And yeah, 1390 01:06:20.880 --> 01:06:22.519 I'm at a point now where it's like I really 1391 01:06:22.559 --> 01:06:26.199 feel like I'm on its wavelength and uh, it delivers 1392 01:06:26.239 --> 01:06:27.599 in the way that the game that is trying to 1393 01:06:27.679 --> 01:06:30.400 rip off b loattro should it has all the kind 1394 01:06:30.440 --> 01:06:32.960 of the same satisfying math and so yeah, really really 1395 01:06:33.039 --> 01:06:33.400 enjoying it. 1396 01:06:33.679 --> 01:06:37.800 Word play and we're very cool, very smart. I think 1397 01:06:38.760 --> 01:06:40.480 it's hard to It was hard for me to, like 1398 01:06:42.280 --> 01:06:44.599 I wanted it was hard to like help like but 1399 01:06:44.719 --> 01:06:47.320 that's not that's not a criticism. It's no, No, you're 1400 01:06:47.360 --> 01:06:47.880 just watching. 1401 01:06:48.039 --> 01:06:50.920 It's like right, yeah, because it's like, uh, you like 1402 01:06:51.000 --> 01:06:52.599 the way I for me, I wouldn't have been able 1403 01:06:52.639 --> 01:06:54.039 to help you if you were playing backlak cause I 1404 01:06:54.079 --> 01:06:55.639 have to like kind of type the words out. Yeah, 1405 01:06:55.760 --> 01:06:57.320 and that's how it was playing. And it's like if 1406 01:06:57.360 --> 01:06:59.159 I can't do that, it's like maybe I could spot 1407 01:06:59.199 --> 01:07:01.880 something like Chuck was having a good time because it's 1408 01:07:02.000 --> 01:07:02.840 clearly fitting with his. 1409 01:07:02.920 --> 01:07:07.519 Brain, right with his broken, broken brain, deeply broken. Yeah, 1410 01:07:07.599 --> 01:07:11.280 just discuss only but only work we're playing. No, Yeah, 1411 01:07:11.320 --> 01:07:13.480 that games and it's just the polish on is really nice. 1412 01:07:13.519 --> 01:07:16.000 I think they did a really great presentational job. 1413 01:07:16.159 --> 01:07:20.440 It's not as like bing pow whizz like blottro is 1414 01:07:20.639 --> 01:07:22.679 you know, bro is like, hey, basically you're gonna feel 1415 01:07:22.679 --> 01:07:23.719 like you're playing a slot machine. 1416 01:07:24.119 --> 01:07:24.239 Uh. 1417 01:07:24.800 --> 01:07:27.760 This is not doing exactly that, but it is still 1418 01:07:27.920 --> 01:07:31.519 presented very slickly. Yeah, it's like Figma. It's like it 1419 01:07:31.639 --> 01:07:35.519 was made in Figma. Yeah, right there we go. We 1420 01:07:35.639 --> 01:07:38.800 got our quota. Yeah, they should start paying us. Yeah, 1421 01:07:39.519 --> 01:07:42.320 they should think about sponsoring us, and they should give 1422 01:07:42.360 --> 01:07:45.079 us some stock. That's what they should do. Guess the 1423 01:07:45.119 --> 01:07:49.199 stock two weeks ago? Yeah, give some back dated there's 1424 01:07:49.199 --> 01:07:53.679 nothing wrong with that, that right, I just didn't get 1425 01:07:53.719 --> 01:07:57.159 around to it. But yeah, I like it's one of 1426 01:07:57.159 --> 01:07:59.679 those games where I think if you like Billatro and 1427 01:07:59.760 --> 01:08:03.679 you boggle, they have combined those two things in a 1428 01:08:03.840 --> 01:08:06.840 very satisfying way, and I could see myself like, this 1429 01:08:06.960 --> 01:08:08.559 is gonna be one of those games I'm playing through 1430 01:08:08.599 --> 01:08:09.119 the end of the year. 1431 01:08:09.960 --> 01:08:16.479 Fantastic, fantastic. I have discovered one of those for me, Yang, I. 1432 01:08:18.760 --> 01:08:19.680 Did you play this? Okay? 1433 01:08:20.039 --> 01:08:23.680 Is does it count as an intervention if you just 1434 01:08:23.800 --> 01:08:27.640 submit yourself to have the intervention amongst your friends? 1435 01:08:27.880 --> 01:08:30.520 Yeah? That shows maturity, Okay. 1436 01:08:31.119 --> 01:08:32.560 A couple of years ago, I had a very big 1437 01:08:32.640 --> 01:08:34.720 problem with a game called Super Auto Pets. 1438 01:08:35.479 --> 01:08:37.760 Yeah, we remember. That was a game that involved that 1439 01:08:37.920 --> 01:08:38.960 was basically like a. 1440 01:08:40.560 --> 01:08:43.319 Gosh like a TFT so like a team fight tactics. 1441 01:08:43.520 --> 01:08:48.560 It was like an auto chess of sorts. No no, no, no, 1442 01:08:48.720 --> 01:08:51.399 no no no, Well there may be horses in this. 1443 01:08:51.520 --> 01:08:54.399 I haven't gone that far yet. I saw one ben 1444 01:08:54.479 --> 01:08:57.800 gp Ben ben Pack, friend of the website, my dear friend, 1445 01:08:58.319 --> 01:09:02.880 my my work wife posting about this yesterday. I saw 1446 01:09:02.880 --> 01:09:04.239 it this morning and I thought, what is this? 1447 01:09:04.520 --> 01:09:04.560 This? 1448 01:09:04.800 --> 01:09:08.720 This looks cool, Merge, Maestro don't recommended this to all 1449 01:09:08.760 --> 01:09:11.039 of us. I saw that as well, popping off. Now 1450 01:09:11.119 --> 01:09:13.279 I downloaded. I haven't touched it, Jance, So I'm looking 1451 01:09:13.319 --> 01:09:13.640 forward to. 1452 01:09:13.880 --> 01:09:18.479 Delete it, delete it now. Oh no, what do we 1453 01:09:18.560 --> 01:09:23.199 have to lose time, my life, my livelihood because this 1454 01:09:23.399 --> 01:09:29.199 is it feels like it is. Uh you take a 1455 01:09:29.359 --> 01:09:32.319 match three, you throw in a super auto pets kind 1456 01:09:32.359 --> 01:09:36.239 of and it's like a wave based match three game. 1457 01:09:37.079 --> 01:09:40.720 But what but what is it like a wave based 1458 01:09:42.319 --> 01:09:45.960 but it's like a mooji's is it like? Is it 1459 01:09:46.119 --> 01:09:49.159 like sweak a game where you're combining fruits into bigger fruits? 1460 01:09:49.439 --> 01:09:53.800 So you uh, it is a wave based, turn based 1461 01:09:53.840 --> 01:09:57.119 and wave based match three game where you're using your 1462 01:09:57.279 --> 01:10:00.880 tile sets. It's also a tile game, holy shit to 1463 01:10:01.399 --> 01:10:05.960 do damage. So as you place down your tiles, those 1464 01:10:06.119 --> 01:10:10.680 will do damage to enemies that pop up at the 1465 01:10:10.800 --> 01:10:14.479 beginning of every wave. And initially you start with ten 1466 01:10:14.560 --> 01:10:17.600 tiles and they all do about one damage each. But 1467 01:10:17.680 --> 01:10:21.520 then as you complete a wave, you will acquire new 1468 01:10:24.000 --> 01:10:28.159 tile sets or new emojis let's just call them emojis 1469 01:10:28.479 --> 01:10:32.439 to replace your original just numbered sets. So one through 1470 01:10:32.520 --> 01:10:35.760 eight or one through ten will get replaced with Oh, 1471 01:10:35.840 --> 01:10:38.039 now you have a newspaper. Now you have a dagger. 1472 01:10:38.239 --> 01:10:40.800 Now you have like a demon face. And these different 1473 01:10:40.800 --> 01:10:44.720 emojis will have different abilities that synergize off of each 1474 01:10:44.720 --> 01:10:48.000 other and you replace your original tile sets. So now 1475 01:10:48.399 --> 01:10:51.079 after you combine a one and a one to add 1476 01:10:51.239 --> 01:10:53.279 up to a two, instead of adding up to a two, 1477 01:10:53.680 --> 01:10:58.199 it now becomes a dagger. So the dagger as that 1478 01:10:58.880 --> 01:11:01.279 pops up on screen when you first summon it or 1479 01:11:03.000 --> 01:11:06.199 put it onto your tile set, your match three set, 1480 01:11:06.720 --> 01:11:09.720 that will do damage to the enemies. 1481 01:11:11.000 --> 01:11:16.159 And gang. This it's bad, this is wild. It seems nefarious. 1482 01:11:16.199 --> 01:11:19.920 I'm not gonna lie like it seems. Yeah, everything about 1483 01:11:19.920 --> 01:11:23.159 it is like tickling my my your brain. It seems 1484 01:11:23.279 --> 01:11:27.840 engineered in with the worst possible interests in mind. 1485 01:11:28.119 --> 01:11:33.000 Yes, yes, because this ticks off the like kind of 1486 01:11:33.119 --> 01:11:38.199 super auto pets the part of my brain, but also 1487 01:11:38.520 --> 01:11:41.239 these like slay the Spire esque part of my brain 1488 01:11:41.279 --> 01:11:45.479 where it like becomes that type of card battler. Within 1489 01:11:45.680 --> 01:11:48.279 each wave, you have like about four or five turns. 1490 01:11:48.520 --> 01:11:53.279 So those turns include placing a tile onto your board 1491 01:11:53.720 --> 01:11:57.840 or combining your different tiles onto on your board. And 1492 01:11:58.119 --> 01:12:00.640 like you know, you can get pretty snappy with it. 1493 01:12:01.079 --> 01:12:03.840 The game can move pretty quick, and then at the 1494 01:12:04.000 --> 01:12:06.920 top of the screen you will get you'll see the 1495 01:12:07.039 --> 01:12:11.800 different enemies that are you're in danger of getting attacked 1496 01:12:11.840 --> 01:12:15.600 by but those go by super quick, game, very slick. 1497 01:12:16.560 --> 01:12:19.640 I think emojis may not work in movies, but they 1498 01:12:19.720 --> 01:12:24.079 may work too well in video games. Merge Maestro is 1499 01:12:24.119 --> 01:12:26.239 that this is gonna be bad. 1500 01:12:27.279 --> 01:12:27.319 This. 1501 01:12:28.920 --> 01:12:32.439 When I see a game like this, I almost see 1502 01:12:32.560 --> 01:12:36.079 like someone in a back alley being like, eh, you 1503 01:12:36.159 --> 01:12:36.680 want to try this? 1504 01:12:39.079 --> 01:12:39.239 You know? 1505 01:12:39.520 --> 01:12:42.680 Oh yeah, first one's free, so sway, so okay. So 1506 01:12:42.760 --> 01:12:47.079 when I'm I attack, when I combine, you. 1507 01:12:47.119 --> 01:12:51.720 Attack when you combine two similar tiles, or when you 1508 01:12:51.840 --> 01:12:52.720 place a tile down. 1509 01:12:53.359 --> 01:12:57.079 Okay, And so am I trying to be precious about like, Okay, 1510 01:12:57.279 --> 01:13:01.359 I have two swords right now, or two daggers? Do 1511 01:13:01.479 --> 01:13:04.159 I want to like save those? Should I merge those 1512 01:13:04.199 --> 01:13:06.560 when there's a bigger enemy on the screen or is 1513 01:13:06.640 --> 01:13:08.479 it kind of like mo willy nilly. I just should 1514 01:13:08.479 --> 01:13:09.640 just keep trying to combine things. 1515 01:13:11.880 --> 01:13:14.000 I think at first you want to be a little 1516 01:13:14.000 --> 01:13:18.279 bit precious because as you complete more waves, your original 1517 01:13:18.359 --> 01:13:22.920 tile set of just numbers gets replaced very quickly with Okay, 1518 01:13:24.079 --> 01:13:29.000 different emojis with different abilities, Like ben Pack had a 1519 01:13:29.079 --> 01:13:32.800 little thread on Blue Sky where he he said like, 1520 01:13:32.880 --> 01:13:34.840 oh man, at the end of this, my OCTOPI was 1521 01:13:34.880 --> 01:13:37.199 doing a million damage. And then as soon as I 1522 01:13:37.239 --> 01:13:39.479 read that sentence, I knew I would be in danger. 1523 01:13:39.880 --> 01:13:42.239 Yeah, that's that's a crazy thing that like I know 1524 01:13:42.359 --> 01:13:44.680 exactly how you get there. So okay, all right, let's 1525 01:13:44.760 --> 01:13:45.199 let's do this. 1526 01:13:46.600 --> 01:13:50.279 Yeah, God, this is going to be bad. I didn't realize. Jeff, 1527 01:13:50.279 --> 01:13:51.399 are you playing this on your phone? 1528 01:13:51.960 --> 01:13:55.800 Yes? Oh no, yeah, it's like with me everywhere now 1529 01:13:56.279 --> 01:13:59.159 Oh no, but it's going to follow you home like 1530 01:13:59.319 --> 01:14:03.880 it from and mentioned. God, it follows the market. Okay, 1531 01:14:03.920 --> 01:14:06.520 should I buy a paddle clapperboard or a candle? 1532 01:14:06.600 --> 01:14:09.439 What the getting a candle? That's more ghosty? 1533 01:14:09.880 --> 01:14:14.439 Okay, god, it's yeah. I was able to shake super 1534 01:14:14.479 --> 01:14:17.720 Auto Pets and then finally get over that. Recently though, 1535 01:14:17.760 --> 01:14:20.039 I've thought about getting back into it, but then this, 1536 01:14:20.199 --> 01:14:22.760 this came across my radar, and this is bad. 1537 01:14:22.960 --> 01:14:23.920 This is just all bad. 1538 01:14:25.399 --> 01:14:28.000 I'm going to assume w W two, K twenty five 1539 01:14:28.079 --> 01:14:28.840 and Mari paint. 1540 01:14:28.720 --> 01:14:32.520 Or from last week. Oh yeah, that's probably right. Yes, okay, 1541 01:14:32.800 --> 01:14:34.000 well the market is still good. 1542 01:14:35.359 --> 01:14:37.520 Get your shit together here leaving games on the board. 1543 01:14:37.560 --> 01:14:40.640 Oh my god, we leave, we leave for one week, 1544 01:14:40.800 --> 01:14:42.119 and all of a sudden, you have oh I have 1545 01:14:42.439 --> 01:14:44.079 four times much work to do, so I'm going to 1546 01:14:44.119 --> 01:14:47.119 get mildly sloppy, so it doesn't matter, yell. 1547 01:14:47.199 --> 01:14:48.640 If you hel at me about this, you won't notice 1548 01:14:48.680 --> 01:14:50.560 all the fire I started. So this is good. 1549 01:14:52.439 --> 01:14:54.479 Last thing on the list here before we had to 1550 01:14:54.640 --> 01:14:57.039 break and then get to the news. Jeff Grubb, you've 1551 01:14:57.039 --> 01:14:59.920 been fuxing around with the eight bit DO sixty four. 1552 01:15:00.680 --> 01:15:03.760 Yeah, yeah, the controller came in here. Check it out, everybody, 1553 01:15:03.840 --> 01:15:08.520 sixty four. What it do? It's got the six buttons 1554 01:15:08.840 --> 01:15:10.960 that you so it has one analog stick like the 1555 01:15:11.039 --> 01:15:13.600 N sixty four button in sixty four controller, and then 1556 01:15:13.600 --> 01:15:15.680 as the dpad right next to it, and then a 1557 01:15:15.800 --> 01:15:18.640 bid do have the six buttons, so there's the A 1558 01:15:18.760 --> 01:15:20.960 and B button and then the four sea buttons. And 1559 01:15:21.000 --> 01:15:23.640 I've been testing on sixty four games with it mostly 1560 01:15:23.720 --> 01:15:27.880 through emulation right now. It'll work with the analog three 1561 01:15:28.000 --> 01:15:31.640 D when that finally arrives, although I'm I'm getting something 1562 01:15:31.680 --> 01:15:33.680 from DHL. I hope it's that, but maybe that's been 1563 01:15:33.720 --> 01:15:35.359 too early. I can't remember when that's supposed to come. 1564 01:15:35.600 --> 01:15:39.520 It is DHL amazing, it's crazy. It's just amazing. The 1565 01:15:39.600 --> 01:15:41.800 Germans they run it on time over there. I think 1566 01:15:41.840 --> 01:15:45.399 it's a German company, so yeah, So what I like 1567 01:15:45.439 --> 01:15:47.560 about this is I like playing in sixty four games 1568 01:15:47.600 --> 01:15:50.920 a lot, but the button layout on an Xbox controller 1569 01:15:51.119 --> 01:15:54.119 is a little strange so that sometimes you have to 1570 01:15:54.239 --> 01:15:57.359 apply the S buttons to the right analog stick and 1571 01:15:57.439 --> 01:15:59.920 I never love that. Now I'll get used to it, 1572 01:16:00.000 --> 01:16:02.520 but I'll play games that way whatever I'm emulating and 1573 01:16:02.600 --> 01:16:05.880 playing for free. I'm not going to complain, but this 1574 01:16:06.039 --> 01:16:08.760 is better having it just dedicated to the sea buttons 1575 01:16:08.880 --> 01:16:10.960 that are actually on this controller. And then also it's 1576 01:16:11.000 --> 01:16:13.119 like six face buttons, so I'm like, could I like 1577 01:16:13.319 --> 01:16:16.000 lace Street Fighter like on here as like a pad 1578 01:16:16.319 --> 01:16:19.159 fighter and make that work? And yeah, it mostly works. 1579 01:16:19.239 --> 01:16:21.319 There's a bit of a gap between the A and 1580 01:16:21.399 --> 01:16:23.520 B and the sea buttons, right, and they're a different size. 1581 01:16:23.600 --> 01:16:26.119 Again that's like the N sixty four controller. But it 1582 01:16:26.439 --> 01:16:28.239 like I can hit the A button and the down 1583 01:16:28.319 --> 01:16:30.199 Sea button at the same time with one finger press, 1584 01:16:30.520 --> 01:16:32.119 so to me, it's like, okay, I can do some 1585 01:16:32.159 --> 01:16:35.359 of these combos that would be common maybe in a 1586 01:16:35.439 --> 01:16:38.960 fighting game occasionally. But the way it feels great and 1587 01:16:39.119 --> 01:16:41.439 apit dose just got all this stuff down. Now where 1588 01:16:41.720 --> 01:16:46.680 the dpad is fantastic. The analog stick has the concentric 1589 01:16:46.760 --> 01:16:50.079 circles and the convex sort of dome like N sixty 1590 01:16:50.079 --> 01:16:52.239 four controller, so it's like it's going for that and 1591 01:16:52.359 --> 01:16:56.119 it feels great. The triggers are not they're not like 1592 01:16:56.199 --> 01:16:58.920 analog triggers like the N sixty four triggers, but they 1593 01:16:59.039 --> 01:17:01.960 also feel excellent. So it's just the build quality is fantastic, 1594 01:17:02.319 --> 01:17:05.119 and it's been it's been working very well. Now there 1595 01:17:05.239 --> 01:17:08.560 is like a time where a lot of like Xbox 1596 01:17:08.600 --> 01:17:11.279 three sixty controllers or Xbox one controllers, I should say, 1597 01:17:11.760 --> 01:17:14.199 just automatically map to a lot of these emulators, so 1598 01:17:14.279 --> 01:17:16.079 you start using them, and the emulators are like, yeah, 1599 01:17:16.079 --> 01:17:18.399 I recognize this, here's the setup you should probably be using, 1600 01:17:18.720 --> 01:17:20.439 and go. This is not doing that, So I have 1601 01:17:20.520 --> 01:17:23.199 to set it up manually. But that's probably for the 1602 01:17:23.319 --> 01:17:25.000 best because I do want it to just be like, no, 1603 01:17:25.119 --> 01:17:27.079 this is an N sixty four controller with the N 1604 01:17:27.119 --> 01:17:29.560 sixty four buttons, so let's make sure it's good to go. 1605 01:17:30.039 --> 01:17:32.159 I think it's probably gonna work out of the box 1606 01:17:32.279 --> 01:17:33.640 with the analog three D though. 1607 01:17:33.760 --> 01:17:36.920 Yeah, it looks really neat. My thing is just if 1608 01:17:37.159 --> 01:17:39.239 I'm going that far to get a custom and sixty 1609 01:17:39.279 --> 01:17:41.880 four stock controller.

I saw and got mad a hand on 1677 01:21:00.439 --> 01:21:00.760 that lever. 1678 01:21:00.920 --> 01:21:02.159 Baby, it is look this. 1679 01:21:02.199 --> 01:21:02.680 Thing I am. 1680 01:21:02.720 --> 01:21:03.560 It's just on this lever. 1681 01:21:03.640 --> 01:21:05.439 I see it and I just crank because it goes 1682 01:21:05.880 --> 01:21:07.600 and I got to crank it back up all the 1683 01:21:07.720 --> 01:21:10.439 time on my own, and it's just annoying. I'll just 1684 01:21:10.479 --> 01:21:13.079 do it myself. I'll lower it for you, stupid, I'll 1685 01:21:13.119 --> 01:21:17.119 never mind. I started screaming. I like screaming. Okay, I 1686 01:21:17.439 --> 01:21:18.399 like screaming. 1687 01:21:19.640 --> 01:21:22.479 Version. This is all going to be leveled, so he's 1688 01:21:22.520 --> 01:21:23.640 gonna sound even crazier. 1689 01:21:23.680 --> 01:21:26.359 It's gonna be great, Like someone out there, do do 1690 01:21:26.920 --> 01:21:29.520 do the Master shake edit and like, let's actually get 1691 01:21:29.560 --> 01:21:32.199 a proper one here with like the mouth moving and everything. 1692 01:21:32.840 --> 01:21:34.920 I don't sound like Master shak. 1693 01:21:36.960 --> 01:21:42.960 Ya Kwami was also there too, I should say, yeah 1694 01:21:43.119 --> 01:21:45.479 it was. It was a decent direct, but we covered 1695 01:21:45.479 --> 01:21:49.359 it in a bunch of places now the indie direct. Look, 1696 01:21:49.439 --> 01:21:53.319 I'm not expecting Spoon Heaven to be there, not food Heaven. 1697 01:21:53.920 --> 01:21:57.479 It's a hollow night. Silk Song is the real name 1698 01:21:57.520 --> 01:22:00.720 of that video game. Uh, I know, I'm not expecting 1699 01:22:00.760 --> 01:22:03.319 it at an indie direct. That game is too big 1700 01:22:03.359 --> 01:22:06.039 for an indie direct now. And also it is probably 1701 01:22:06.079 --> 01:22:07.960 going to show back up some Xbox thing. It'll be 1702 01:22:08.079 --> 01:22:10.119 maybe be a games Com and they'll give us a 1703 01:22:10.239 --> 01:22:10.840 date at that point. 1704 01:22:10.960 --> 01:22:12.239 That's kind of the problems. I feel like the two 1705 01:22:12.279 --> 01:22:14.800 games people want to hear about the most right now, 1706 01:22:15.439 --> 01:22:18.279 well a second I got creak it up are Spoon 1707 01:22:18.399 --> 01:22:21.840 Heaven and Haiti's too. If everybody wants that launch date? 1708 01:22:21.960 --> 01:22:24.119 Is he too also too big for this? Or is 1709 01:22:24.159 --> 01:22:26.279 it you know, like, well people are gonna watch this, 1710 01:22:26.359 --> 01:22:27.960 we can make that. The one last thing is hey, 1711 01:22:28.199 --> 01:22:29.960 here's the one point or release date for that thing. 1712 01:22:30.640 --> 01:22:33.039 Yeah. I think Hades two is also too big for this. 1713 01:22:33.439 --> 01:22:35.800 That'll just kind of happen when it happens at this point. 1714 01:22:35.800 --> 01:22:38.239 And Nintendo loves Hades and I think Nintendo loves Hollow 1715 01:22:38.319 --> 01:22:40.520 Night as well. So if those games you know, wanted 1716 01:22:40.520 --> 01:22:41.840 to be in the big direct, I bet they could 1717 01:22:41.880 --> 01:22:44.439 have been. But I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, And 1718 01:22:44.479 --> 01:22:46.520 maybe they'll like use both of those as a launch 1719 01:22:46.600 --> 01:22:48.880 point for a bunch of other cool indie games and 1720 01:22:49.439 --> 01:22:52.359 those will be like the Showstoppers here, It's possible, but 1721 01:22:52.920 --> 01:22:57.640 you know, we'll see. I'm expecting like Nintendo remembering that 1722 01:22:57.840 --> 01:23:00.279 first year of the Switch one and how a couple 1723 01:23:00.319 --> 01:23:02.720 of indie games really took off Golf story a handful 1724 01:23:02.720 --> 01:23:05.279 of others, and they're just looking to recreate that, which 1725 01:23:05.319 --> 01:23:07.840 is admirable. I want that as well, that I definitely 1726 01:23:07.920 --> 01:23:10.199 remember having a very good time with early indie games, 1727 01:23:10.239 --> 01:23:12.960 and I'm looking for the next new one that I 1728 01:23:13.039 --> 01:23:15.520 didn't know I was expecting, and the indie world's usually 1729 01:23:15.560 --> 01:23:16.000 deliver that. 1730 01:23:16.880 --> 01:23:19.760 And then you know, on the other hand, this whole 1731 01:23:20.640 --> 01:23:23.720 Metroid Prime for thing not being in you know, obviously 1732 01:23:23.800 --> 01:23:27.079 wasn't gonna happen last week. But yeah, now I kind 1733 01:23:27.119 --> 01:23:29.319 of have made peace with the fact, like it's still 1734 01:23:29.359 --> 01:23:31.720 too early. I really think they are going to like 1735 01:23:31.880 --> 01:23:35.640 backload that thing to like October at this. 1736 01:23:35.760 --> 01:23:39.960 Point, sometime in the holiday period, so from yeah, late October, 1737 01:23:40.520 --> 01:23:43.039 anytime in October through December, even like it could be 1738 01:23:43.119 --> 01:23:46.000 the December game. They've done that with their hardcore games before. 1739 01:23:46.079 --> 01:23:47.960 Right, But I meant for like the direct, it's gonna 1740 01:23:47.960 --> 01:23:50.239 get the direct, right, it's gonna get one. 1741 01:23:50.600 --> 01:23:53.239 Well, I think it'll be directed. No, I mean no, 1742 01:23:53.319 --> 01:23:55.399 I do think so. But there's you know, these days, 1743 01:23:55.439 --> 01:23:58.960 it's Nintendo. They could announce stuff on in a YouTube 1744 01:23:59.039 --> 01:24:02.520 video or on the Nintendo Today app. But if yeah, 1745 01:24:02.880 --> 01:24:05.920 there could be there's usually a direct in September. There 1746 01:24:06.000 --> 01:24:08.039 probably will be one this year because Nintato likes to 1747 01:24:08.079 --> 01:24:10.800 get things set up for that holiday season, and September 1748 01:24:10.880 --> 01:24:12.279 is a good time to do that. The like, here's 1749 01:24:12.359 --> 01:24:14.600 the shit that you should be buying from us this holiday. 1750 01:24:15.640 --> 01:24:17.840 So I expect us to get answers on a lot 1751 01:24:17.840 --> 01:24:20.319 of these outstanding questions by then, and then there's a 1752 01:24:20.399 --> 01:24:22.840 handful of other ones like Kirby Air Riders that one 1753 01:24:22.880 --> 01:24:24.640 could pop off at any second. They just give us 1754 01:24:24.680 --> 01:24:28.279 the release date. That's been rated in Saudi Arabia. So 1755 01:24:28.479 --> 01:24:31.239 is Metroid Prime for Actually, so both of those have 1756 01:24:31.439 --> 01:24:34.399 ratings now in at least one territory. What that means 1757 01:24:34.439 --> 01:24:37.239 for us getting dates, it doesn't mean much. It could 1758 01:24:37.239 --> 01:24:40.359 happen at any point, all right. This next one a 1759 01:24:40.399 --> 01:24:42.800 little interesting just because of the tech inside of one 1760 01:24:42.800 --> 01:24:46.079 of the inside this controller. Rare is celebrating its fortieth 1761 01:24:46.119 --> 01:24:49.800 anniversary with a licensed Xbox controller that is up on 1762 01:24:49.920 --> 01:24:53.760 Amazon now. It's from eight bit Do and it The 1763 01:24:53.840 --> 01:24:56.159 one interesting feature about this other than it's you know, 1764 01:24:56.159 --> 01:24:58.119 it's got pro buttons, is it has the two point 1765 01:24:58.199 --> 01:25:01.439 four gigahertz wireless radio that enables it to connect directly 1766 01:25:01.479 --> 01:25:05.359 to an Xbox without a dongle. Normally, when you get 1767 01:25:05.399 --> 01:25:07.479 one of these controllers. They do it through Bluetooth and 1768 01:25:09.039 --> 01:25:11.520 or they or they need a dongle for the Xbox. 1769 01:25:12.239 --> 01:25:15.439 And so Microsoft has had that stuff as a proprietary 1770 01:25:15.560 --> 01:25:18.720 like lockdown, and now they're letting third parties use it. Now. 1771 01:25:19.439 --> 01:25:21.399 Maybe that would have been more exciting in a world 1772 01:25:21.399 --> 01:25:23.720 where I was playing my Xbox more frequently. In fact, 1773 01:25:23.760 --> 01:25:25.880 it definitely would have been. But it's like, okay, at 1774 01:25:25.960 --> 01:25:28.920 least xboxes opening this stuff up at this point, I 1775 01:25:29.039 --> 01:25:31.600 don't love having a bunch of dongles sticking out of anything. 1776 01:25:32.039 --> 01:25:32.079 No. 1777 01:25:32.600 --> 01:25:34.800 No, even though like the eight bit dude dongles kind 1778 01:25:34.800 --> 01:25:37.159 of look cool because they look like bricks or whatever. Yeah, 1779 01:25:37.279 --> 01:25:39.359 and then I'm like, I get this dongle out of here. 1780 01:25:39.479 --> 01:25:42.600 I don't have an I don't even computers have like 1781 01:25:42.720 --> 01:25:45.199 fifty of these USB slots, and I somehow still running 1782 01:25:45.239 --> 01:25:45.920 out constantly. 1783 01:25:46.600 --> 01:25:49.760 Yep. It's uh, I like a bit doo controllers. So 1784 01:25:49.920 --> 01:25:51.239 this is pretty cool. I don't know if I need 1785 01:25:51.279 --> 01:25:54.560 a Rare fortieth anniversary one, but cool. There's also some 1786 01:25:54.720 --> 01:25:57.880 like artwork that they've posted up to celebrate Raresh like 1787 01:25:58.119 --> 01:26:02.000 fortieth anniversary, that is, can act as your Xbox background. 1788 01:26:02.199 --> 01:26:04.840 A bunch of original art of all their characters, not 1789 01:26:04.920 --> 01:26:09.640 including including the Nintendo ones, and that's pretty cool, all right. 1790 01:26:09.960 --> 01:26:14.119 Dark Siders four continues the original game story after fifteen years, 1791 01:26:14.680 --> 01:26:18.319 so they're going back to Dark Siders. This is actually 1792 01:26:18.399 --> 01:26:20.560 going to be the fifth game. There was also Genesis, 1793 01:26:20.600 --> 01:26:23.479 which was a top down game since but since Dark 1794 01:26:23.760 --> 01:26:27.680 Siders one ended with it was War, the main one 1795 01:26:27.720 --> 01:26:30.640 where War is about to like go fight the forces 1796 01:26:30.680 --> 01:26:32.800 of good and evil or whatever, and the other four 1797 01:26:33.039 --> 01:26:34.600 or the other the rest of the horsemen of the 1798 01:26:34.640 --> 01:26:37.520 pock ups show up. Well, we've gotten games starring the 1799 01:26:37.600 --> 01:26:40.000 rest of those horsemen now, including Genesis and then two 1800 01:26:40.039 --> 01:26:42.279 and three. So now it's like they're wrapping back to 1801 01:26:42.359 --> 01:26:44.800 that moment and they're going to continue the story right 1802 01:26:44.920 --> 01:26:49.159 from there, which is pretty wild for this B series 1803 01:26:49.239 --> 01:26:51.800 game that like is great, it's really good, but it 1804 01:26:52.159 --> 01:26:54.039 feels like, man, I can't believe they're going to complete 1805 01:26:54.079 --> 01:26:56.840 this story. They're gonna they're gonna finish the fight. 1806 01:26:57.079 --> 01:26:59.079 They're going to finish the fight to fight finish story. Yeah. 1807 01:26:59.119 --> 01:26:59.279 Yeah. 1808 01:26:59.640 --> 01:27:01.680 That's what's kind of nice about this, right, is because 1809 01:27:01.720 --> 01:27:04.079 there are all these like beloved game franchises that just 1810 01:27:04.119 --> 01:27:07.279 feel like, well, we love that it's never actually got 1811 01:27:07.399 --> 01:27:09.800 to go anywhere like a Shen move right like Shen 1812 01:27:09.920 --> 01:27:11.399 Moo's apart, and a lot of people like it, and 1813 01:27:12.079 --> 01:27:13.560 the game is probably never going to see an end. 1814 01:27:13.800 --> 01:27:15.960 So it is nice that Dark Siders it is something 1815 01:27:16.000 --> 01:27:17.720 that a lot of people have cared about or you know, 1816 01:27:18.279 --> 01:27:20.920 at one point, I like a lot of those games. 1817 01:27:21.000 --> 01:27:23.880 Man, those games are fun. Yeah, that first one was 1818 01:27:23.960 --> 01:27:24.520 especially good. 1819 01:27:24.840 --> 01:27:26.479 Never played much of them. I should I should do 1820 01:27:26.560 --> 01:27:27.479 some Dark Sider ring. 1821 01:27:28.880 --> 01:27:31.239 Of the better zeld O clones. Yeah, sure, I was. 1822 01:27:31.239 --> 01:27:34.279 Gonna say, like, they definitely feel the void. It feels 1823 01:27:34.359 --> 01:27:37.560 like for when when Zelda kind of wasn't as popping 1824 01:27:37.840 --> 01:27:40.920 in the three. Yeah world, at least it's weird. 1825 01:27:41.159 --> 01:27:44.800 I remember three was like one of the first Nordic 1826 01:27:44.920 --> 01:27:47.319 slashion bracer games. At that time, we were like, wow, 1827 01:27:47.680 --> 01:27:49.880 it's great this company is here and reviving this stuff 1828 01:27:49.920 --> 01:27:52.640 and we're getting more b games and uh, all this 1829 01:27:52.760 --> 01:27:54.640 all this time later, it's like the most exciting thing 1830 01:27:54.680 --> 01:27:57.159 they can't do is a Dark Sider's Force. There's been 1831 01:27:57.239 --> 01:28:01.039 no there's been no growth or a manchin of what 1832 01:28:01.159 --> 01:28:02.680 they could possibly do well. 1833 01:28:02.800 --> 01:28:04.840 THQ. Noordic had a bunch of other games that they 1834 01:28:04.880 --> 01:28:07.119 did announce, and I will ask you, like, any of 1835 01:28:07.159 --> 01:28:09.800 these do pop out to you now? The SpongeBob SquarePants 1836 01:28:09.960 --> 01:28:13.119 Titans of the Tide looked pretty promising. That's coming out 1837 01:28:13.159 --> 01:28:16.880 November eighteenth. It's following up the Cosmic Shake, which followed 1838 01:28:16.960 --> 01:28:21.600 up a Battle of Bikini Bottom Flustrated, Yes, Rehydrated, and 1839 01:28:22.279 --> 01:28:24.760 people like those games, and I'm glad. I'm glad they're 1840 01:28:24.760 --> 01:28:26.359 continuing to make this. There was also the Spun or 1841 01:28:26.359 --> 01:28:28.199 the Patrick Star game. Patrick Starr is going to be 1842 01:28:28.199 --> 01:28:33.119 playable in this game. Yeah, that looks pretty cool. I think, 1843 01:28:33.359 --> 01:28:35.800 you know, the Cosmic Shake was okay, no one hated 1844 01:28:35.840 --> 01:28:38.600 that game, but it also wasn't as beloved as Bikini Bottoms. Yeah. 1845 01:28:38.680 --> 01:28:40.239 I just picked that up because it was on So 1846 01:28:40.359 --> 01:28:42.039 because of this announcement, So I want to play through 1847 01:28:42.079 --> 01:28:44.800 Cosmic Shape because when I played Bikini Bottom Rehydrated, I 1848 01:28:44.880 --> 01:28:45.960 was really surprised how. 1849 01:28:45.920 --> 01:28:46.640 Much I liked it. 1850 01:28:47.199 --> 01:28:49.239 I liked that we can still get these kind of 1851 01:28:50.520 --> 01:28:53.439 bet tier three D platforms just because SpongeBob SquarePants are 1852 01:28:53.439 --> 01:28:56.840 still so popular. So right, yeah, I'm rooting for this 1853 01:28:56.960 --> 01:28:57.840 one exactly. 1854 01:28:58.000 --> 01:28:59.840 So I'm glad, Like there was a time where we'd 1855 01:28:59.840 --> 01:29:02.720 get a lot of licensed platformers. This is the one 1856 01:29:02.800 --> 01:29:04.960 survivor that we continue to get for the most part. 1857 01:29:05.560 --> 01:29:10.600 Recreation is Reckfest, but open world kind of forts and motorsport, 1858 01:29:10.640 --> 01:29:14.119 but Reckfest that sounds awesome to me. I'm really interested 1859 01:29:14.159 --> 01:29:18.279 into seeming like where that game goes. Then there's games that, 1860 01:29:18.399 --> 01:29:21.479 like I maybe recognize the names, but you know, they're 1861 01:29:21.479 --> 01:29:23.399 continuing to make more of them, a Tides of Tomorrow, 1862 01:29:23.560 --> 01:29:28.800 Sacred to Remaster, titan Quest to the Guild Europa fourteen ten. 1863 01:29:28.880 --> 01:29:34.640 There's a gothic remake Reanimal Fate Keeper and The Eternal 1864 01:29:34.720 --> 01:29:37.239 Life of Goldman, which actually that looked pretty good. That's 1865 01:29:37.279 --> 01:29:41.000 a cinematic platformer kind of thing with a really good 1866 01:29:41.359 --> 01:29:44.840 animation and style to it. Probably worth checking out. But 1867 01:29:45.279 --> 01:29:50.439 it's also different than The Adventures of Elliott. The Millennium File. 1868 01:29:50.920 --> 01:29:52.119 How that game was called I. 1869 01:29:52.199 --> 01:29:55.479 Never played the gothic game, Should me neither? 1870 01:29:56.239 --> 01:29:58.239 Yeah? Exactly. That was asking the same thing I'm like, 1871 01:29:58.520 --> 01:30:00.920 are there gothic stand out there? Being like, we got 1872 01:30:01.039 --> 01:30:03.239 to get more people playing Gothic. I haven't gotten into them, 1873 01:30:03.279 --> 01:30:06.640 if they are, all right? Full list of all price 1874 01:30:06.720 --> 01:30:10.760 increases for Nintendo Switch and everything else. All right, So 1875 01:30:10.920 --> 01:30:13.680 Nintendo raised the price of the Switch one. They announced 1876 01:30:13.720 --> 01:30:15.560 this last week and then over the weekend the prices 1877 01:30:15.600 --> 01:30:19.119 went into effect in the United States. For the switch 1878 01:30:19.199 --> 01:30:22.319 the original switch again switch O led was three fifty. 1879 01:30:22.319 --> 01:30:25.760 It's now four hundred. The standard switch is three forty 1880 01:30:25.800 --> 01:30:28.720 after being three hundred. Switch Light went up thirty bucks 1881 01:30:28.800 --> 01:30:31.479 from two hundred to two thirty. The joy Con for 1882 01:30:31.560 --> 01:30:34.439 the Switch one are ninety dollars now they were eighty dollars. 1883 01:30:34.880 --> 01:30:38.560 Pro controllers eighty was seventy, the nes controller pack was 1884 01:30:39.079 --> 01:30:42.079 sixty it's now seventy. In sixty four went from fifty 1885 01:30:42.119 --> 01:30:44.720 to fifty five, and the Super Nintendo Controller went up 1886 01:30:44.800 --> 01:30:48.239 five bucks to thirty five dollars. Switch to accessories some 1887 01:30:48.439 --> 01:30:52.159 also went up in price. This is in addition to Yes, 1888 01:30:52.319 --> 01:30:54.399 this is in addition to the price increase that happened 1889 01:30:54.640 --> 01:30:56.560 right when they were announced, because that's when the tariffs 1890 01:30:56.560 --> 01:31:01.119 first happened. They're doing more on the tariff phase. Mostly terraffased, 1891 01:31:01.239 --> 01:31:03.039 you know. There's some other aspects to it, but it's 1892 01:31:03.119 --> 01:31:07.199 mostly terraff based. Yes, the Joycon charging stand was thirty 1893 01:31:07.239 --> 01:31:10.119 it is now thirty five. Pro controller was eighty five 1894 01:31:10.279 --> 01:31:13.760 now it's ninety JOYCN two was ninety five now it's 1895 01:31:13.960 --> 01:31:16.960 one hundred dollars, and the dock sets if you want 1896 01:31:17.000 --> 01:31:20.199 an extra DOC was one twenty it's now one hundred 1897 01:31:20.199 --> 01:31:24.359 and twenty five dollars. Ambo went up to twenty dollars 1898 01:31:24.439 --> 01:31:27.760 from sixteen. The two pack of mebos, there's a handful 1899 01:31:27.800 --> 01:31:30.920 of those. Those are either thirty five or forty dollars, 1900 01:31:31.000 --> 01:31:34.479 depending on which ones you get. They were originally thirty dollars. 1901 01:31:34.920 --> 01:31:36.439 Forty dollars for Ambo guys. 1902 01:31:36.800 --> 01:31:40.279 That's insane, you know, Like the tears are definitely effect here, 1903 01:31:40.319 --> 01:31:44.840 but there's a lot of this. It's just absolutely wild to. 1904 01:31:45.000 --> 01:31:49.119 Me for the original switch, Like, yeah, the thing that 1905 01:31:49.359 --> 01:31:51.840 must cost so much cheaper to make now. 1906 01:31:51.920 --> 01:31:55.000 Right, Yes, it's one thing to be like game console 1907 01:31:55.119 --> 01:31:59.600 prices just never go down, Okay, increasing them like a 1908 01:32:00.039 --> 01:32:02.399 past of them after the follow up comes out right, 1909 01:32:02.720 --> 01:32:05.399 like a four hundred dollars switch ole. It actually kind 1910 01:32:05.399 --> 01:32:07.720 of sounds like a crime, h Like it sounds like 1911 01:32:07.800 --> 01:32:10.960 someone should go to jail for making that a thing. 1912 01:32:11.079 --> 01:32:14.239 And it's if somebody. If I met somebody who's about 1913 01:32:14.279 --> 01:32:16.199 to buy one of them, I would literally tackle them 1914 01:32:16.279 --> 01:32:18.720 to the ground and try to stop them, stop them 1915 01:32:19.159 --> 01:32:19.960 from doing that. 1916 01:32:20.840 --> 01:32:21.399 That's what I. 1917 01:32:21.560 --> 01:32:26.279 Don't get, Like, if you're trying to just liquidate inventory, 1918 01:32:26.479 --> 01:32:28.920 I don't know if they are, what are you Are 1919 01:32:29.000 --> 01:32:33.000 you trying to, like create a new above ground landfill? 1920 01:32:33.600 --> 01:32:35.960 I like, so I think they're I mean one, I 1921 01:32:36.039 --> 01:32:40.760 think that that the market conditions have made these companies think, well, 1922 01:32:40.760 --> 01:32:43.079 we got to might really be mindful of our prices 1923 01:32:43.119 --> 01:32:44.920 and we should try to raise them wherever we can, 1924 01:32:45.039 --> 01:32:47.640 which sucks, and these companies will love raising prices, so 1925 01:32:48.119 --> 01:32:51.319 they're doing that. But I think they think about it 1926 01:32:51.399 --> 01:32:54.680 from the perspective of this will look like a story 1927 01:32:54.720 --> 01:32:56.359 we're telling. When people go to look to make a 1928 01:32:56.399 --> 01:32:59.760 decision about what console to get, and now the Switch 1929 01:32:59.800 --> 01:33:02.079 to it is only fifty dollars more than a Switch one, 1930 01:33:02.279 --> 01:33:04.319 and the switch to feels like a really good deal 1931 01:33:04.800 --> 01:33:07.439 in that perspective of, Oh, I get the whole new generation, 1932 01:33:07.560 --> 01:33:09.640 the console in its games can play all the original 1933 01:33:09.720 --> 01:33:12.079 Switch one games, and I only have to spend fifty 1934 01:33:12.119 --> 01:33:14.840 dollars more. It's the medium popcorn thing you're thinking about 1935 01:33:14.880 --> 01:33:17.359 only fifty dollars more instead of oh, I'm spending five 1936 01:33:17.880 --> 01:33:20.319 four fifty to five hundred dollars they won't get went 1937 01:33:20.359 --> 01:33:22.560 you focusing on the fifty dollars? Now? Is that the 1938 01:33:22.760 --> 01:33:25.239 entirety of this? Now? I think the reality is like 1939 01:33:25.840 --> 01:33:29.880 sourcing parts for electronics these days is a shit, shit job. 1940 01:33:29.960 --> 01:33:33.319 It just sucks and it is complicated, and it is 1941 01:33:33.399 --> 01:33:36.119 causing these companies a lot of headaches. Could they still 1942 01:33:36.199 --> 01:33:38.800 make a profit selling the switch one at the original price? 1943 01:33:38.960 --> 01:33:40.399 Could they cut the price of it and still make 1944 01:33:40.439 --> 01:33:43.079 a profit. I bet they could? Like how much could 1945 01:33:43.119 --> 01:33:44.079 that cost to make? Now? 1946 01:33:44.399 --> 01:33:44.479 Right? 1947 01:33:44.840 --> 01:33:45.000 Yeah? 1948 01:33:45.279 --> 01:33:47.760 So they're selling all the switch shoes they're making right 1949 01:33:47.760 --> 01:33:50.960 now already. I god to say that like might dry 1950 01:33:51.039 --> 01:33:53.319 up a little bit and like maybe they're like, well, 1951 01:33:53.399 --> 01:33:55.239 we're doing this, we don't have to increase the price 1952 01:33:55.319 --> 01:33:58.760 of the switch too. Maybe it's like a tendo's hurting right. 1953 01:33:59.159 --> 01:34:01.880 Come on, But it does seem like an expensive way 1954 01:34:02.800 --> 01:34:05.640 to get to that end of like medium popcorning it. 1955 01:34:05.840 --> 01:34:07.479 Right, Yeah, No, I think that's a buyper I think 1956 01:34:07.479 --> 01:34:09.479 they're okay with doing that because they're gonna end up 1957 01:34:09.479 --> 01:34:15.520 with this medium popcorn situation. The underlying motivating factors here 1958 01:34:15.920 --> 01:34:18.920 are it's got to be mostly tariffs, and then the 1959 01:34:19.000 --> 01:34:22.079 secondary thing, which is huge is we love raising prices, 1960 01:34:22.159 --> 01:34:23.720 and we can get away with raising prices right now. 1961 01:34:23.760 --> 01:34:25.479 So let's do it now while we while the getting 1962 01:34:25.600 --> 01:34:27.399 is good, I think is the situation. 1963 01:34:27.560 --> 01:34:30.720 And like if they're trying to create a scare of 1964 01:34:30.840 --> 01:34:32.760 people going out and gates with you before the price 1965 01:34:32.800 --> 01:34:35.079 of that goes up, kind of mission accomplished. Like you know, 1966 01:34:35.159 --> 01:34:38.159 I'm talking to Mike my friends who I know probably 1967 01:34:38.199 --> 01:34:40.720 wouldn't guess what's ntil in the new animal crossing comes out, 1968 01:34:40.760 --> 01:34:42.760 and I'm being like, look, I know you want to 1969 01:34:42.760 --> 01:34:45.560 wait till then, maybe just get one now you think 1970 01:34:45.600 --> 01:34:46.800 you're ever going to get one? 1971 01:34:47.479 --> 01:34:47.600 Like that? 1972 01:34:47.680 --> 01:34:49.319 You said, like they're selling every switch through their making 1973 01:34:49.399 --> 01:34:51.319 right now, but there is that next crop of people 1974 01:34:51.439 --> 01:34:54.560 that they're focused on, and for that that group of people, 1975 01:34:55.199 --> 01:34:58.239 the price urgency that you're talking about will be a factor. 1976 01:34:58.720 --> 01:35:01.680 And then the medium pop thing is a very effective 1977 01:35:01.720 --> 01:35:04.359 thing and that people take that into consideration and be like, well, 1978 01:35:04.399 --> 01:35:07.039 I mean, look, it's only that much more so I 1979 01:35:07.119 --> 01:35:10.359 think they're already kind of eyeing that segment and that's 1980 01:35:10.800 --> 01:35:14.039 behind a lot of these decisions. I think they're all 1981 01:35:14.159 --> 01:35:16.600 I mean, what this really says to me is these 1982 01:35:16.680 --> 01:35:20.479 companies because Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo now have all raised 1983 01:35:20.520 --> 01:35:22.600 prices in one way or another, and in some cases 1984 01:35:22.720 --> 01:35:25.760 multiple times over the last year or two, and like 1985 01:35:25.800 --> 01:35:27.840 in Sony's case, it's gone back like three or four years. 1986 01:35:29.800 --> 01:35:31.319 I think what this says to the fact that they 1987 01:35:31.359 --> 01:35:35.640 continue to do this is their belief is that things 1988 01:35:35.680 --> 01:35:38.880 are not going to get easier for making electronics, Sourcing 1989 01:35:39.000 --> 01:35:42.520 materials is not going to get easier. The tariff and 1990 01:35:42.640 --> 01:35:45.439 market situation and the relationship between countries is not going 1991 01:35:45.520 --> 01:35:47.239 to get better. Like if this is a bell weather 1992 01:35:47.319 --> 01:35:51.680 about how corporations view our international cooperation levels, it's a 1993 01:35:51.760 --> 01:35:55.960 bad sign. I think it also says that even Nintendo 1994 01:35:56.119 --> 01:35:58.880 knows they got to make more money from the same 1995 01:35:58.960 --> 01:36:02.119 people because they're not necessarily going to be growing the 1996 01:36:02.520 --> 01:36:05.359 console market by leaps and bounds by bringing in new people, 1997 01:36:05.680 --> 01:36:08.319 and so it's about nickel and diming the same ones 1998 01:36:08.359 --> 01:36:10.319 that are sitting around that have been playing their games 1999 01:36:10.319 --> 01:36:12.319 for forever. And that's also not a great thing. So 2000 01:36:12.520 --> 01:36:17.359 it's it speaks to an underlying sort of ailment at 2001 01:36:17.399 --> 01:36:20.880 the heart of selling video games to the console audience, 2002 01:36:21.680 --> 01:36:24.279 and it's yeah, a sign that we're not in necessarily 2003 01:36:24.279 --> 01:36:26.560 a great place, even though Nintendo is making a ton 2004 01:36:26.600 --> 01:36:32.000 of money. All right, cool, yep, cool, This almost certainly 2005 01:36:32.000 --> 01:36:35.720 doesn't stop, right, We're probably back here in within six 2006 01:36:35.800 --> 01:36:37.800 months to a year, probably talking about that switch to 2007 01:36:37.920 --> 01:36:41.039 price increase. Yeah, and the rest of the stuff doesn't 2008 01:36:41.039 --> 01:36:44.119 go down in price at that time, So yeah, all right. 2009 01:36:44.199 --> 01:36:47.640 BioShock fors leadership replaced as two K insists it's committed 2010 01:36:47.680 --> 01:36:51.279 to delivering a great game. Take two as replaced the leadership. 2011 01:36:51.359 --> 01:36:54.680 Kelly Gilmore, who was the studio head of Cloud Chamber 2012 01:36:55.439 --> 01:36:58.439 has I think she's left the company. And then they 2013 01:36:58.640 --> 01:37:01.439 moved Hogarth Dayly Plant, who did a bunch of stuff 2014 01:37:01.439 --> 01:37:04.720 on the original BioShock games, to a publishing role, but 2015 01:37:04.800 --> 01:37:08.720 also removed as creative director on the game. The reason 2016 01:37:08.840 --> 01:37:10.960 given for this is, and this is from reporting from 2017 01:37:11.039 --> 01:37:14.399 Jason Schreyer, that the game was up for an internal 2018 01:37:14.520 --> 01:37:17.880 check with the publisher two K Games. Two K went 2019 01:37:17.960 --> 01:37:19.960 and looked at it and said, we are not happy 2020 01:37:20.000 --> 01:37:23.199 with this, and specifically because of the narrative. Right, the 2021 01:37:23.319 --> 01:37:26.920 narrative is a problem. And I'm in the light not 2022 01:37:27.039 --> 01:37:29.159 maybe not enough layhouses. You got to have at least one. 2023 01:37:29.279 --> 01:37:32.720 They had zero. It's a big oversight. They also canceled 2024 01:37:32.720 --> 01:37:36.960 a BioShock one remake earlier this year. I can't it's 2025 01:37:37.000 --> 01:37:39.520 hard for me to imagine what could possibly be wrong 2026 01:37:39.560 --> 01:37:41.399 with the story that the company is like, Yeah, let's 2027 01:37:41.439 --> 01:37:46.439 delay this thing and remove the leadership and start reworking 2028 01:37:46.479 --> 01:37:48.920 everything so we can really release this game later and 2029 01:37:49.039 --> 01:37:51.159 spend even more money on it. The story must be 2030 01:37:51.279 --> 01:37:54.640 either yes, they're saying narrative. The narrative must either be 2031 01:37:55.279 --> 01:37:59.920 broken offensive or like unfollowable, or the executives are like, 2032 01:38:00.079 --> 01:38:01.680 this is too woke and we don't want to draw 2033 01:38:01.760 --> 01:38:03.560 the ire of Trump. Like I think there's a strong 2034 01:38:03.640 --> 01:38:06.960 chance that this is like criticizing political figures the way 2035 01:38:06.960 --> 01:38:09.600 a bioshot game might have done in the past, and 2036 01:38:10.199 --> 01:38:12.840 I think in response to infinite criticism of that being 2037 01:38:12.920 --> 01:38:16.039 to both sides, they're like, well, watch, we can we 2038 01:38:16.119 --> 01:38:17.760 don't have to go both sides. We can really just 2039 01:38:17.800 --> 01:38:20.800 do pointed criticism, and maybe the leadership doesn't like it. 2040 01:38:20.880 --> 01:38:23.680 That's me speculating. I'm just baffled at, like, how you 2041 01:38:23.760 --> 01:38:25.800 get to the point of we hate this narrative so much, 2042 01:38:25.880 --> 01:38:28.359 we need to spend more money making this game. A 2043 01:38:28.520 --> 01:38:30.399 video game executive does not strike me as the kind 2044 01:38:30.399 --> 01:38:31.479 of person that would care about that. 2045 01:38:32.039 --> 01:38:35.600 Yeah, it seems really strange again, like I have criticism 2046 01:38:35.800 --> 01:38:38.159 of Infinite Story the both sizing for sure, but also 2047 01:38:38.359 --> 01:38:42.279 just that it started off as like a takedown of nationalism, 2048 01:38:42.439 --> 01:38:45.399 right oh yeah, talk about that she was that was 2049 01:38:45.439 --> 01:38:47.479 a disaster, But by the end of it, it's like, 2050 01:38:47.600 --> 01:38:49.720 oh well, how about instead of that? Wouldn't it be 2051 01:38:50.000 --> 01:38:52.640 crazy if there were two of you and one was 2052 01:38:52.720 --> 01:38:55.239 from an alternate universe. 2053 01:38:54.880 --> 01:38:55.760 And it just. 2054 01:38:57.640 --> 01:38:59.800 Age is like a diaper in the hot sun? 2055 01:39:00.079 --> 01:39:04.279 I think, Like yeah, but favorite video game quote ever 2056 01:39:04.399 --> 01:39:07.960 I think is the whole there's always a lighthouse. People 2057 01:39:08.000 --> 01:39:08.600 love that. 2058 01:39:08.760 --> 01:39:09.279 No, there isn't. 2059 01:39:09.800 --> 01:39:11.800 There's two times there was a lighthouse. Shut the hell. 2060 01:39:11.960 --> 01:39:12.199 Yeah. 2061 01:39:12.479 --> 01:39:17.520 Look as someone who will really fucking Diana Hill for 2062 01:39:17.640 --> 01:39:21.920 BioShock as a ip like, I love the first one 2063 01:39:22.000 --> 01:39:22.720 is one of my favorites. 2064 01:39:23.039 --> 01:39:24.439 Okay, cool, so we could be friends. 2065 01:39:25.800 --> 01:39:28.359 But yeah, I don't know. I mean, I kind of 2066 01:39:28.399 --> 01:39:30.119 don't care. I just want I want to know, like, 2067 01:39:30.199 --> 01:39:32.520 where are the fun judases. I realize it's a separate 2068 01:39:32.640 --> 01:39:33.960 game from a separate developer. 2069 01:39:34.159 --> 01:39:36.039 Yeah, but also at two K though it's a two 2070 01:39:36.119 --> 01:39:40.359 K project, right, Yeah, I think I think that's supposed 2071 01:39:40.359 --> 01:39:42.079 to come out next year or something, or maybe this 2072 01:39:42.279 --> 01:39:44.399 was I don't know. People mentioned when we were talking 2073 01:39:44.399 --> 01:39:46.640 about this on the other show in chat like there 2074 01:39:46.960 --> 01:39:49.520 was some data attached to Judas or maybe there wasn't. 2075 01:39:50.199 --> 01:39:52.119 They're both they both have been in development for a 2076 01:39:52.239 --> 01:39:54.960 very long time. BioShock four has been in development apparently 2077 01:39:55.439 --> 01:40:02.600 for ten years what ten years now, go ten Earth years, 2078 01:40:02.720 --> 01:40:08.000 ten earth human years, and it's you could see like, okay, yeah, 2079 01:40:08.039 --> 01:40:09.439 maybe part of the early part of that was like 2080 01:40:09.479 --> 01:40:12.680 a lot of preproduction. That's possible whatever that is all 2081 01:40:12.800 --> 01:40:14.720 costs because they all have to employ people at Cloud 2082 01:40:14.800 --> 01:40:17.840 Chamber Games to make that. Now, that is maybe the 2083 01:40:17.960 --> 01:40:21.640 frightening side of this is following up from this, Executives 2084 01:40:21.680 --> 01:40:23.520 from two K went to Cloud Chambers, like, we are 2085 01:40:23.560 --> 01:40:26.239 dedicated to making sure the game is good. Now we 2086 01:40:26.439 --> 01:40:30.279 wouldn't mind some more efficiency and maybe streamlining, making you 2087 01:40:30.359 --> 01:40:33.680 guys more wink agile, And everyone's like, oh, okay, they're 2088 01:40:33.680 --> 01:40:35.039 gonna lay us off. They're gonna lay a bunch of 2089 01:40:35.119 --> 01:40:38.039 us off, and so those those fears are now at 2090 01:40:38.079 --> 01:40:43.520 the studio. But they like I remember the Infinite being, like, man, 2091 01:40:43.600 --> 01:40:46.920 that game has taken a long time production, and they 2092 01:40:46.960 --> 01:40:48.560 are they have to get that thing right, and then 2093 01:40:48.600 --> 01:40:50.560 it has to sell a ton to justify as much 2094 01:40:50.600 --> 01:40:52.159 time as they spent on it, and it didn't. It 2095 01:40:52.279 --> 01:40:54.239 was kind of like a pretty good game that you know, 2096 01:40:54.319 --> 01:40:56.479 I have my issues with it, but most people thought 2097 01:40:56.479 --> 01:40:58.239 it was a pretty good game and it kind of 2098 01:40:58.720 --> 01:41:01.880 did okay, did fine. The kind they're kind of it's 2099 01:41:01.920 --> 01:41:03.640 even worse this time, where it's like it feels like 2100 01:41:03.680 --> 01:41:06.560 the game is gonna miss even harder and then also 2101 01:41:07.439 --> 01:41:09.920 is taking even more time, so it was probably more 2102 01:41:09.960 --> 01:41:12.079 expensive than even Infinite was. It's wild. 2103 01:41:12.880 --> 01:41:15.399 Yeah, I I guess I just hadn't been paying attention 2104 01:41:16.199 --> 01:41:20.720 to what was going on with BioShock for I can't 2105 01:41:20.720 --> 01:41:22.640 believe the ten years then knocked me on my ass. 2106 01:41:22.760 --> 01:41:26.920 I'm sitting down, but it's still knocked me on That's unbelievable. 2107 01:41:27.000 --> 01:41:29.600 And and just to be clear, like Levie he has nothing, 2108 01:41:29.720 --> 01:41:30.560 He's just on Judas. 2109 01:41:30.600 --> 01:41:31.000 He has nothing. 2110 01:41:31.039 --> 01:41:35.439 He's over on Judas, which is a video game that 2111 01:41:35.600 --> 01:41:38.119 I like, going to come out to stop it. 2112 01:41:38.319 --> 01:41:40.319 That's I'm sort of like a little excited for it. 2113 01:41:40.880 --> 01:41:42.720 Uh yeah, gosh, I don't. Part of me is like 2114 01:41:42.760 --> 01:41:44.239 I'm trying to be careful because I'm trying remember I 2115 01:41:44.319 --> 01:41:47.399 can't remember what the details were. But I thought I heard. 2116 01:41:47.840 --> 01:41:49.399 I thought I heard that game was in trouble at 2117 01:41:49.439 --> 01:41:51.399 one player another in my life, but I don't know. 2118 01:41:52.000 --> 01:41:54.760 Yeah, I mean definitely Infinite was was weird because I 2119 01:41:54.840 --> 01:41:57.239 think also it was the it was the mechanics too, 2120 01:41:57.560 --> 01:41:57.800 like the. 2121 01:41:57.960 --> 01:41:59.079 Right leg of it. 2122 01:41:59.520 --> 01:42:04.399 Yeah, like I remember everyone remembers that one E three demo. 2123 01:42:05.000 --> 01:42:08.600 Yeah and yeah, and then what the game wounded up. 2124 01:42:08.560 --> 01:42:11.560 Being the funniest thing in Infinite Too is like at BioShock, 2125 01:42:11.600 --> 01:42:13.960 there was like you know, it kind of made sense. Yeah, 2126 01:42:14.000 --> 01:42:17.239 there's like there's tonics or whatever, and they'll give you 2127 01:42:17.359 --> 01:42:19.880 powers and it's kind of tied into this, and then 2128 01:42:19.920 --> 01:42:22.319 in Infinitus it's like, here's the magic juice, so you 2129 01:42:22.399 --> 01:42:25.119 have the magic abilities like in the last game, don't 2130 01:42:25.159 --> 01:42:27.720 worry about it. You could still shoot bees from your 2131 01:42:27.760 --> 01:42:28.520 hands or whatever. 2132 01:42:29.520 --> 01:42:33.079 Yep. Like it just felt less considered on all those fronts, 2133 01:42:33.159 --> 01:42:35.359 and Bio was like one of the more considered games 2134 01:42:35.399 --> 01:42:37.960 of all time. So it just is a little. 2135 01:42:37.760 --> 01:42:40.359 Baffling massive for the porn industry though. 2136 01:42:40.479 --> 01:42:44.960 Oh I'm sorry. Those character models from BioShock Infinite have 2137 01:42:45.079 --> 01:42:49.800 been used in so much Steam Filmmaker porn it would 2138 01:42:49.880 --> 01:42:51.680 blow your eyes into the back of your skyll. 2139 01:42:51.720 --> 01:42:51.920 I think. 2140 01:42:51.960 --> 01:42:54.960 I think Advancement's an actual three D animation were made 2141 01:42:55.000 --> 01:42:58.119 because people wanted to make porn based off that game 2142 01:42:58.279 --> 01:42:59.279 so badly. 2143 01:42:59.520 --> 01:43:05.359 Total easter egg there, I guess source filmmaker. Thank you guys, Okay, yeah, 2144 01:43:05.479 --> 01:43:08.520 good for them. Yeah, wild story, Yeah, that's that's the 2145 01:43:08.840 --> 01:43:14.880 I the woke stuff. Just I meanating, right, But like, 2146 01:43:15.840 --> 01:43:18.479 tell me another reason that an executive would care about 2147 01:43:18.479 --> 01:43:19.760 the story of a video game that that we are 2148 01:43:19.760 --> 01:43:22.119 trying to make money from. Yeah, I don't know, like 2149 01:43:22.159 --> 01:43:23.359 it would have to be so bad. 2150 01:43:23.640 --> 01:43:26.880 I guess I don't want to believe that, right, because 2151 01:43:26.920 --> 01:43:29.640 we also got a Superman that I feel like, yeah, 2152 01:43:29.680 --> 01:43:30.960 but but flies in the face of that. 2153 01:43:31.079 --> 01:43:32.960 I don't know if that memo has gone out to 2154 01:43:33.079 --> 01:43:35.760 the rest of the executives in that sort of community 2155 01:43:35.920 --> 01:43:39.119 of creative industries. I think, yeah, James Gunn has the 2156 01:43:39.199 --> 01:43:41.520 power to like say full fuck all y'all, I'm gonna 2157 01:43:41.520 --> 01:43:43.159 make the movie I want to make. I don't think 2158 01:43:43.239 --> 01:43:45.920 David Zaslov was like, here's my directive, get out there 2159 01:43:45.960 --> 01:43:48.760 and get me a James Gun positivity. No, no, I know, 2160 01:43:48.920 --> 01:43:52.159 I know, I know. Yeah, that's that's nuts. Maybe the yeah, 2161 01:43:52.199 --> 01:43:54.159 maybe it's just a shitty story. I don't know. It 2162 01:43:54.199 --> 01:43:56.079 could just be a very shitty story, bad. 2163 01:43:56.479 --> 01:43:57.520 But I wouldn't be surprised. 2164 01:43:57.600 --> 01:44:00.359 I wouldn't be surprised, right right, it wouldn't be And 2165 01:44:00.439 --> 01:44:02.359 I just don't I like don't want to believe it. 2166 01:44:02.479 --> 01:44:07.239 Yeah, yeah, all right, so that's bosh. Apparently Lexi and 2167 01:44:07.279 --> 01:44:12.359 Chat said Judas has been in development for thirteen years. What, Yeah, 2168 01:44:12.359 --> 01:44:14.239 I don't know, I don't I don't know what what 2169 01:44:14.439 --> 01:44:14.920 is the top? 2170 01:44:15.039 --> 01:44:18.279 What has happened to time in the last fifteen years 2171 01:44:18.319 --> 01:44:20.479 with BioShock inspired games? 2172 01:44:20.600 --> 01:44:22.159 And that's like that's wild. But it's like that's also 2173 01:44:22.279 --> 01:44:25.239 just like two games worth the development, like in normal time, 2174 01:44:25.479 --> 01:44:27.640 for normal time right now, it's like, yeah, that that 2175 01:44:27.840 --> 01:44:29.840 you could get maybe two games out in those years. 2176 01:44:31.079 --> 01:44:33.319 All right, let's see here. There was a bunch of 2177 01:44:33.399 --> 01:44:35.680 news out of EVO. We'll hit some of it. Mortal 2178 01:44:35.760 --> 01:44:39.640 Kombat Legacy Collection is adding Mortal Kombat Trilogy. It's also 2179 01:44:39.680 --> 01:44:43.680 getting a bunch of physical versions for Xbox, but that's 2180 01:44:43.760 --> 01:44:46.399 like a limited run. And then PlayStation Switcher getting like 2181 01:44:46.439 --> 01:44:49.399 full versions of the Switch version is even getting the 2182 01:44:49.479 --> 01:44:52.039 full game on the card. And I think it's going 2183 01:44:52.079 --> 01:44:54.159 to be ten dollars more expensive than the other platforms 2184 01:44:54.159 --> 01:44:55.640 because they're going to put in one of those sixty 2185 01:44:55.640 --> 01:44:58.640 four niggabyte cards. So that's the compromise there. It stinks, 2186 01:44:58.760 --> 01:45:03.520 but also justification all lines up and it's like it's 2187 01:45:03.560 --> 01:45:05.439 either this or it's gonna be on a game key card. 2188 01:45:05.520 --> 01:45:06.720 What do you guys want to do? And I think 2189 01:45:06.880 --> 01:45:08.399 most people who care about this and be like, we'll 2190 01:45:08.399 --> 01:45:11.920 pay the extra ten dollars. But yeah, excited about that 2191 01:45:12.119 --> 01:45:15.600 Virtual Fighter five as a new stage that they introduced. 2192 01:45:16.960 --> 01:45:19.319 Let's see. They also showed off the some of the 2193 01:45:19.399 --> 01:45:22.199 first in game like fighting footage and it was like 2194 01:45:22.279 --> 01:45:24.359 almost looked like prototype footage, but looked very good for 2195 01:45:24.479 --> 01:45:28.199 Virtual Fighter project from RGG, Like did you check this out? 2196 01:45:28.279 --> 01:45:28.880 What do you think of it? 2197 01:45:30.560 --> 01:45:33.119 So I did check that out. I thought it looked 2198 01:45:33.199 --> 01:45:35.760 really good. It was good before it was like, oh, 2199 01:45:35.920 --> 01:45:38.560 not actual gameplay, and this time I think it was 2200 01:45:38.600 --> 01:45:41.119 more like this is no, this isn't running book. Put 2201 01:45:41.159 --> 01:45:43.600 an engine. We got to see Sarah. It's some guy 2202 01:45:43.640 --> 01:45:45.640 in a hat whose name. I didn't know. I think 2203 01:45:45.680 --> 01:45:48.039 it looks great. I am so ready for Virtue Fighter 2204 01:45:48.479 --> 01:45:50.880 to come back. That was like one of those I 2205 01:45:51.079 --> 01:45:54.279 was there. I remember how important that it was. It was, 2206 01:45:54.399 --> 01:45:58.000 so yeah, It's just I'm curious because Virtual Fighter is 2207 01:45:58.119 --> 01:46:00.359 kind of two things where it is very pick up 2208 01:46:00.399 --> 01:46:03.039 and play, especially those original ones, and then it became 2209 01:46:03.439 --> 01:46:06.199 very technical, and I'm like, what do you which one 2210 01:46:06.279 --> 01:46:08.079 of those do you lean into now? And I think 2211 01:46:08.119 --> 01:46:10.439 you probably got to lean into it being sort of technical. 2212 01:46:10.479 --> 01:46:13.239 Ideally you wanted to be both you can't pick up 2213 01:46:13.239 --> 01:46:15.960 and play. But also there is all this deaf because 2214 01:46:16.000 --> 01:46:18.560 at the court it's a two button fighting game. Even 2215 01:46:18.640 --> 01:46:21.720 up to five, it basically was that, and I hope 2216 01:46:21.720 --> 01:46:23.319 it kind of still stays like that. I hope they 2217 01:46:23.359 --> 01:46:25.279 don't do things like ad super moves. 2218 01:46:25.960 --> 01:46:28.439 So they specifically talked about that, Mike, and they said 2219 01:46:28.439 --> 01:46:30.720 they are avoiding that. This is supposed to be a 2220 01:46:30.760 --> 01:46:34.319 more grounded fighter, And yes, give me that. That always 2221 01:46:34.439 --> 01:46:37.000 has been Virtual Fighter, but I think with the way 2222 01:46:37.079 --> 01:46:40.199 this game looks, it lends itself even more to kind 2223 01:46:40.239 --> 01:46:41.640 of being like, hey, this is going to be the 2224 01:46:41.720 --> 01:46:44.039 Kuma te video game. Like here's just a tournament of 2225 01:46:44.159 --> 01:46:47.479 fighters that don't have fireballs and stuff like that, and 2226 01:46:47.960 --> 01:46:48.399 I want it. 2227 01:46:48.680 --> 01:46:50.359 Yeah, even compared to like a tech in which like 2228 01:46:50.560 --> 01:46:54.840 is you know, martial arts, but it gets pretty wacky. Uh, 2229 01:46:54.960 --> 01:46:56.359 and that's fun. That's good for tech and me. I 2230 01:46:56.399 --> 01:46:58.439 want Virtual Fight to be a little bit more grounded 2231 01:46:58.479 --> 01:47:03.720 and normal. The character were Akira or Ara, and that's 2232 01:47:03.760 --> 01:47:05.199 just a Kira's new look. 2233 01:47:05.840 --> 01:47:09.319 That's his new look. Yeah, and I know that all right. 2234 01:47:09.399 --> 01:47:11.880 I should get excited for it. Also, quick correction, world 2235 01:47:11.960 --> 01:47:15.279 Stage is apparently a single player mode for Virtue Fighter 2236 01:47:15.359 --> 01:47:17.920 five revo. It just said world Stage and I'm like, 2237 01:47:18.000 --> 01:47:20.359 I don't remember what that is. There was a bunch 2238 01:47:20.359 --> 01:47:22.880 of other stuff, like news for a season pass per 2239 01:47:22.960 --> 01:47:26.840 Hunter Hunter. There's a new character for Undernight in Birth two. 2240 01:47:26.960 --> 01:47:29.159 I think, a bunch of stuff like that. They showed 2241 01:47:29.239 --> 01:47:32.920 up Omnimn for that Invincible Versus game. It's pretty promising, Yes, 2242 01:47:33.720 --> 01:47:34.359 very cool. Yeah. 2243 01:47:34.399 --> 01:47:38.399 I played that at Yeah, it seemed fun. Pretty mortal Kombatti. 2244 01:47:38.319 --> 01:47:40.079 Right, yeah, and that's kind of you can see the 2245 01:47:40.159 --> 01:47:44.840 lineage there. Marvel TOCN was definitely the big winner of 2246 01:47:44.840 --> 01:47:47.319 the week in terms of getting people's attention and excitement. 2247 01:47:48.279 --> 01:47:50.319 They showed off quite a bit of it in various forms, 2248 01:47:50.399 --> 01:47:52.720 and then they announced that there is a closed beta 2249 01:47:52.760 --> 01:47:56.319 coming up to September fifth through the seventh, So that's 2250 01:47:56.399 --> 01:47:58.640 that's next month. I think the details about how to 2251 01:47:58.680 --> 01:48:00.439 get into that are out there, so go check that 2252 01:48:00.479 --> 01:48:01.600 out if you want to try to get him. 2253 01:48:02.880 --> 01:48:07.680 I have a correction. It wasn't even Sarah Stella Sarah's daughter, Okay, okay, 2254 01:48:07.800 --> 01:48:12.359 next generation shit happening, gotcha genera almost exactly like Sarah. 2255 01:48:12.720 --> 01:48:15.119 Sarah just looked at him like my brain was like, yep, 2256 01:48:15.239 --> 01:48:17.239 Sarah Sarah Bryant. Right is that her full name? 2257 01:48:17.479 --> 01:48:20.000 Yeah? Because their brother was one of the other characters. 2258 01:48:19.880 --> 01:48:24.039 Right, all right, U let's see hear and Ken is 2259 01:48:24.199 --> 01:48:26.720 in Fatal Fury City the Wolves. We knew he was coming, 2260 01:48:26.800 --> 01:48:29.399 but the Shadow dropped him, so he's available now in 2261 01:48:29.520 --> 01:48:33.000 the game. I like KENA sure. 2262 01:48:33.479 --> 01:48:36.399 Yeah, Kensaney, I don't know. I played a little bit 2263 01:48:36.439 --> 01:48:37.920 of that, and then pretty quickly I was like, this 2264 01:48:38.000 --> 01:48:40.000 is a lot like stree Fire six. I think I'd 2265 01:48:40.039 --> 01:48:41.600 never just be playing Street Fire six. In fact, I 2266 01:48:41.720 --> 01:48:45.000 have been. I was because of some of the EVO hype. 2267 01:48:45.039 --> 01:48:47.560 I was just like messing around, like I want to 2268 01:48:47.640 --> 01:48:49.840 like learn zangeek better.

There's some It was a lot of fun. 2271 01:48:55.520 --> 01:48:58.000 I was enjoying Evo Mars's cap On two Grand Finals 2272 01:48:58.039 --> 01:49:02.199 were great.

They did a 2308 01:50:41.199 --> 01:50:43.319 survey in Japan a few weeks back. Now it's here 2309 01:50:43.720 --> 01:50:45.520 and people are like sharing this around being like, go 2310 01:50:45.600 --> 01:50:47.319 fill this out, go fill this out, to letting Nintendo, 2311 01:50:47.399 --> 01:50:49.920 we are not happy with these things. Basically, they just 2312 01:50:49.960 --> 01:50:53.079 want to know how you buy your games, what convinces 2313 01:50:53.159 --> 01:50:55.479 you to buy physical versus digital, and a lot of 2314 01:50:55.520 --> 01:50:58.239 people are using this to voice their opinion on game 2315 01:50:58.359 --> 01:51:02.439 key cards and how unhappy they are with it. You know, 2316 01:51:02.880 --> 01:51:05.920 Nintendo is probably like going to look at the number 2317 01:51:06.039 --> 01:51:08.119 the sales numbers more than this. But I'm sure they 2318 01:51:08.159 --> 01:51:10.479 will use this to help fill in, like come up 2319 01:51:10.479 --> 01:51:13.319 with a decision about how to move forward with making 2320 01:51:13.960 --> 01:51:16.520 their deals with the company that provides them with the 2321 01:51:16.600 --> 01:51:19.880 ROM and the flash memory that they put into these 2322 01:51:19.920 --> 01:51:24.880 game cards. And maybe this expedites their efforts to get 2323 01:51:25.199 --> 01:51:27.920 smaller game cards sixteen and thirty two gigabyte that are 2324 01:51:27.960 --> 01:51:30.800 more affordable so that they can help out third parties 2325 01:51:30.960 --> 01:51:33.800 sell more more of their games unactual game cards as 2326 01:51:33.800 --> 01:51:36.600 opposed to game key cards. But people are using this 2327 01:51:36.680 --> 01:51:38.520 as a moment and we'll see if they're able to 2328 01:51:38.520 --> 01:51:42.159 accomplish anything. I don't know what you got do either 2329 01:51:42.159 --> 01:51:45.079 of you guys buy much physical on switch to do me. 2330 01:51:45.479 --> 01:51:48.840 I mean, for one thing, I'm getting codes sometimes so right, 2331 01:51:49.039 --> 01:51:51.479 so same, even even if I wasn't in that world. 2332 01:51:51.800 --> 01:51:54.880 Even right now, with the few game like cards I have, 2333 01:51:55.520 --> 01:51:57.199 I am like laying bat or them out. I'm like, 2334 01:51:57.279 --> 01:51:58.640 I want to play this game. Oh, that's one of 2335 01:51:58.640 --> 01:52:00.680 the few games I own visits and. 2336 01:52:00.680 --> 01:52:02.319 It's all the way on the other side of the room. 2337 01:52:02.920 --> 01:52:05.880 That's how bad I am no, I'm I'm fine with 2338 01:52:06.000 --> 01:52:06.720 digital games. 2339 01:52:06.760 --> 01:52:10.399 I know, I just am Yeah, I just you know, 2340 01:52:11.039 --> 01:52:14.520 I I feel like we just got finished talking about 2341 01:52:14.560 --> 01:52:17.560 them raising prices of ancient hardware. 2342 01:52:18.680 --> 01:52:20.600 I like, I want to. I don't know. 2343 01:52:20.640 --> 01:52:22.600 I don't think you're ever going to get any win 2344 01:52:22.920 --> 01:52:25.920 with them, right, Like, I'm I'm surprised there's a survey. 2345 01:52:26.039 --> 01:52:29.199 What's gonna happen? What's like? What are they don't this 2346 01:52:29.399 --> 01:52:32.199 would only like, right, this only helps us if it 2347 01:52:32.359 --> 01:52:35.439 is combined with sales data that tells them, Okay, people 2348 01:52:35.439 --> 01:52:37.319 aren't happy with this. We got to move some stuff 2349 01:52:37.319 --> 01:52:39.239 and make some moves to get them more excited to 2350 01:52:39.319 --> 01:52:41.399 spend more money. And it's like, then they use this 2351 01:52:41.479 --> 01:52:43.720 information they get from the survey, and maybe that's why 2352 01:52:43.760 --> 01:52:46.800 they're doing the survey. Maybe there's early indicators that they 2353 01:52:46.840 --> 01:52:49.199 have that game key cards aren't selling the way that 2354 01:52:49.239 --> 01:52:51.680 they expected them to. I dret that is the case, 2355 01:52:52.000 --> 01:52:53.720 but that's the only reason that they would make any 2356 01:52:53.800 --> 01:52:55.399 changes here. So yeah. 2357 01:52:56.359 --> 01:52:56.479 Uh. 2358 01:52:56.680 --> 01:52:59.840 Starfield is reportedly targeting PS five release in twenty twenty six, 2359 01:53:00.000 --> 01:53:04.800 following week sales of its first expansion. The Yeah, that's 2360 01:53:04.960 --> 01:53:07.760 mostly the story here. Not too surprising all the Microsoft 2361 01:53:07.800 --> 01:53:10.479 games are coming to Xbox or coming to PlayStation five. Now, 2362 01:53:11.359 --> 01:53:14.399 there was a time when when this game was about 2363 01:53:14.479 --> 01:53:16.640 to come out where internally they said that game will 2364 01:53:16.680 --> 01:53:19.399 never go to PlayStation, and boy, that has changed a lot, 2365 01:53:19.520 --> 01:53:23.119 and now everything's going to PlayStation. This will probably coincide 2366 01:53:23.239 --> 01:53:25.920 with the release of their next expansion for that game 2367 01:53:26.600 --> 01:53:28.239 just got to be better than that first one that 2368 01:53:28.279 --> 01:53:30.359 people seem to really hate, except for Greg Miller. 2369 01:53:31.119 --> 01:53:33.439 Right, Yeah, this game was never going to be exclusive 2370 01:53:33.479 --> 01:53:35.359 back when they thought this was going or there was 2371 01:53:35.439 --> 01:53:37.720 never going to be multi platform, back when they thought 2372 01:53:37.720 --> 01:53:39.560 it was going to be the big exclusive to save 2373 01:53:39.640 --> 01:53:41.199 the Xbox series X Right. 2374 01:53:42.640 --> 01:53:46.760 Do you have any indication that the performance and reception 2375 01:53:46.920 --> 01:53:57.359 of Starfield was wildly a surprise by the makers and 2376 01:53:57.399 --> 01:53:57.880 the public? 2377 01:53:58.000 --> 01:54:00.319 Like, I mean, the surprise is tough because it's like 2378 01:54:00.520 --> 01:54:02.760 as they're putting it out, like, are they getting mock 2379 01:54:02.840 --> 01:54:04.680 reviews that like shape things? 2380 01:54:05.520 --> 01:54:07.520 Real reviews were good ish? 2381 01:54:07.760 --> 01:54:11.000 Right, Yeah, you're right, Yeah, they were mostly goodish. I 2382 01:54:11.439 --> 01:54:14.159 think that like overall, like from the like when you 2383 01:54:14.399 --> 01:54:17.439 look at the lifetime of the development of that game, 2384 01:54:17.520 --> 01:54:20.479 from its conception through to the release, that I would 2385 01:54:20.520 --> 01:54:23.079 settle it at it's probably a pretty big surprise because 2386 01:54:23.119 --> 01:54:26.640 they built that thing to be what Skyrim turned into, 2387 01:54:27.079 --> 01:54:29.800 the game that can last forever, and they didn't build 2388 01:54:29.840 --> 01:54:32.520 Skyrim that way. They built this game that way to 2389 01:54:32.560 --> 01:54:34.920 be able to like, hey, we have all these features 2390 01:54:35.000 --> 01:54:36.840 that enable you know, play it over and over again 2391 01:54:36.960 --> 01:54:38.800 for forever, and it's going to be different all the time, 2392 01:54:38.840 --> 01:54:41.119 and it's really going to accommodate those players. And they 2393 01:54:41.159 --> 01:54:42.960 did that part fine. They got everything else kind of 2394 01:54:43.000 --> 01:54:46.399 a little bit off or you know, very substandard. And 2395 01:54:46.680 --> 01:54:48.439 I think that they were so focused on that that 2396 01:54:48.520 --> 01:54:51.159 they didn't realize that people weren't going to just be 2397 01:54:51.279 --> 01:54:53.479 happy playing the game. And I bet that did catch 2398 01:54:53.520 --> 01:54:56.439 them off guard for the most part. And you know, 2399 01:54:56.479 --> 01:55:00.399 the performance of that game definitely was weak. There's no 2400 01:55:00.520 --> 01:55:04.800 doubt there. Okay, let's see here Battlefield six. We got 2401 01:55:04.840 --> 01:55:07.640 a lot of details of that game. You know, Vince 2402 01:55:07.640 --> 01:55:09.680 sam Pella is in charge now, the guy from Titanfold, 2403 01:55:09.680 --> 01:55:12.319 guy from Respawn. He says they want this to feel 2404 01:55:12.319 --> 01:55:14.960 like a spiritual successor to three and four. People are 2405 01:55:15.439 --> 01:55:18.000 feeling that way. As a reminder, people are very hot 2406 01:55:18.079 --> 01:55:21.119 on the previews of twenty forty two as well, so 2407 01:55:21.479 --> 01:55:24.800 I'm skeptical, although it does feel like this game maybe 2408 01:55:25.119 --> 01:55:27.560 is even more well put together than twenty forty two was. 2409 01:55:27.600 --> 01:55:31.159 At this point. They also promised to have they're going 2410 01:55:31.239 --> 01:55:34.039 to sell skins. They promised to keep them grounded, they 2411 01:55:34.159 --> 01:55:36.880 keep them feeling like they would fit with the rest 2412 01:55:36.960 --> 01:55:39.199 of Battlefield. So what does that look like, you know, 2413 01:55:39.600 --> 01:55:41.840 A bunch of different fatigues, I guess. But people are 2414 01:55:42.079 --> 01:55:44.159 very precious about this and they're happy to hear that. 2415 01:55:44.439 --> 01:55:46.680 We'll see how long that lasts. They don't plan to 2416 01:55:46.720 --> 01:55:48.920 put it on Switch two, and they made a big 2417 01:55:49.000 --> 01:55:50.640 deal about like, hey, we got a lot of veteran 2418 01:55:50.720 --> 01:55:52.560 Dice developers, but we also brought in a lot of 2419 01:55:52.640 --> 01:55:56.600 new blood to kind of reinvigorate this game. And now 2420 01:55:56.680 --> 01:55:58.680 they have to sort of deliver on all of that. 2421 01:55:58.880 --> 01:56:02.479 Now they are giving us some details games out later 2422 01:56:02.560 --> 01:56:05.479 this year. There is going to be a Battle Royale mode, 2423 01:56:06.840 --> 01:56:09.000 but like they still have to kind of sell this game, 2424 01:56:09.279 --> 01:56:10.880 and it is going to be I think it's going 2425 01:56:10.920 --> 01:56:13.359 to be seventy dollars here and eighty euro I think, 2426 01:56:13.680 --> 01:56:17.159 I don't know if it's been confirmed in Europe. It's 2427 01:56:17.199 --> 01:56:20.079 got a big uphill climb to sort of reach the 2428 01:56:20.159 --> 01:56:23.079 place that they want it to be. But at this 2429 01:56:23.279 --> 01:56:25.479 point it feels like it's in a pretty good position 2430 01:56:25.640 --> 01:56:28.239 as long as everything else like delivers, like they have 2431 01:56:28.359 --> 01:56:30.439 not stepped in it yet. Like, are you guys feeling 2432 01:56:30.560 --> 01:56:33.079 any more confident about Battlefield at this point? 2433 01:56:33.319 --> 01:56:36.119 I mean, the only sense is like, boy, the pressure 2434 01:56:36.359 --> 01:56:39.319 is on, and you know, sometimes that can lead to 2435 01:56:39.319 --> 01:56:41.399 good things. Sometimes it just doesn't really matter, or it 2436 01:56:41.479 --> 01:56:43.319 can make things worse. 2437 01:56:43.520 --> 01:56:43.920 I don't know. 2438 01:56:44.239 --> 01:56:46.119 They got me a little bit just from that trailer 2439 01:56:46.199 --> 01:56:48.560 when they played the classic Battlefield song. 2440 01:56:48.520 --> 01:56:49.159 In the middle of it. 2441 01:56:49.279 --> 01:56:51.680 I'm like, Okay, oh, I did like Battlefield a lot 2442 01:56:51.720 --> 01:56:53.720 once upon a time. So I'm rooting for them, I 2443 01:56:53.800 --> 01:56:56.239 really am. I'd be down for it if it comes 2444 01:56:56.239 --> 01:56:57.640 out and it is this great thing and I'm able 2445 01:56:57.680 --> 01:56:59.920 to play some Battlefield for it. But I mean, I'm 2446 01:57:00.039 --> 01:57:03.399 already more excited about this than another Call of Duty 2447 01:57:03.479 --> 01:57:06.279 Black Ops again again again. Already. 2448 01:57:06.680 --> 01:57:10.720 That's the benefit that Battlefield has. The thing it's got 2449 01:57:10.800 --> 01:57:12.920 going for it is that it does whether or not 2450 01:57:13.000 --> 01:57:16.000 the game is good, it does wait the right amount 2451 01:57:16.039 --> 01:57:18.199 of time in between Battlefield. 2452 01:57:18.520 --> 01:57:20.479 Yeah, they do let it. They let you miss it 2453 01:57:20.560 --> 01:57:22.520 a little bit. Yes, especially if you're not like if 2454 01:57:22.560 --> 01:57:24.319 you didn't get twenty forty two and you were like 2455 01:57:24.439 --> 01:57:27.960 into one, it's been a hot minute, so that there's 2456 01:57:28.000 --> 01:57:31.119 something there. Okay. So the other side of this is 2457 01:57:31.239 --> 01:57:32.960 there is going to be a beta for the game. 2458 01:57:33.119 --> 01:57:36.640 Close beta starts in two days on the seventh. I 2459 01:57:36.680 --> 01:57:38.319 think it's gonna let you play around with quite a 2460 01:57:38.319 --> 01:57:40.159 bit of the features, and then there's an open beta 2461 01:57:40.560 --> 01:57:42.199 that's tacked on to the end of that that will 2462 01:57:42.199 --> 01:57:45.159 start on the ninth. I believe that's correct. But the 2463 01:57:45.199 --> 01:57:47.680 closed beta starts here very soon. I think to get 2464 01:57:47.760 --> 01:57:49.479 into that you might have to pre order. I have 2465 01:57:49.640 --> 01:57:51.800 not looked at the details of how you get in people. 2466 01:57:51.840 --> 01:57:53.560 If you care about that, go check it out yourself. 2467 01:57:54.039 --> 01:57:56.920 But it'll be on the open beta should be available 2468 01:57:57.000 --> 01:57:59.439 on PS five, Xbox Series X and S and PC. 2469 01:58:00.119 --> 01:58:05.279 You can play where you want, alright, last story here, 2470 01:58:05.560 --> 01:58:09.640 The Power Rangers are headed to Fortnite Baby Fortnite chapter 2471 01:58:09.760 --> 01:58:16.880 six season four details. Wow, Yeah, that's a deal. Hoping 2472 01:58:16.920 --> 01:58:20.520 it would revive our boy. It's more fin time. It's 2473 01:58:20.600 --> 01:58:29.640 more for best into the fetal position to the isolation chamber. Yeah, 2474 01:58:30.680 --> 01:58:32.800 this is starting in two days as well. August seventh, 2475 01:58:33.279 --> 01:58:35.920 you'll be able to start all those out. I thought 2476 01:58:36.119 --> 01:58:40.199 I could resist, but the Power Rangers gig no, they 2477 01:58:40.239 --> 01:58:42.199 got They're gonna get you back in Can I play 2478 01:58:42.239 --> 01:58:44.239 as the White Ranger. I'm glad I didn't say white 2479 01:58:44.279 --> 01:58:45.880 Power Ranger. That's got a different time. 2480 01:58:47.359 --> 01:58:50.439 Wow. No, we liked him better when he was green. Anyways, 2481 01:58:50.880 --> 01:58:52.319 Is this like one of those things where the whole 2482 01:58:52.359 --> 01:58:54.880 season is based around them, or like they're gonna be 2483 01:58:54.960 --> 01:58:56.680 Zords in Fort because that would be cool. 2484 01:58:57.159 --> 01:59:01.039 Well, so, like, let's see here. I read the details 2485 01:59:01.039 --> 01:59:03.119 because Jan kind of added this and I was excited 2486 01:59:03.159 --> 01:59:06.079 for him. Confirmed collaborations for the season.

Hi Dudors, this 2572 02:03:07.720 --> 02:03:11.319 is from Jacob Denver. I recently purchased the switch to 2573 02:03:11.640 --> 02:03:14.880 and am looking to donate my switch one. I would 2574 02:03:15.000 --> 02:03:17.640 love to know if there are any organizations that you 2575 02:03:17.880 --> 02:03:21.399 know of that would be worth donating this too. I've 2576 02:03:21.439 --> 02:03:24.920 seen different ones online that donate these to children's hospitals 2577 02:03:25.079 --> 02:03:27.960 and things like that, which seem awesome, But I really 2578 02:03:28.000 --> 02:03:29.680 want to know if these are legit or if you 2579 02:03:29.720 --> 02:03:35.279 have any organizations you would recommend. Thanks Jake and Denver. Gosh, 2580 02:03:35.880 --> 02:03:38.039 I'm a bad person. I just hold to reading my 2581 02:03:38.119 --> 02:03:40.399 old consoles forever and do nothing with them. 2582 02:03:43.640 --> 02:03:47.199 I mean, I gotta say, while I'm not a bad person, 2583 02:03:47.560 --> 02:03:50.720 I donate them quote unquote. 2584 02:03:50.359 --> 02:03:53.479 To all the little kids in my family. So I 2585 02:03:53.600 --> 02:03:57.279 don't I've never tried to do it. Yeah, I'm sure 2586 02:03:57.319 --> 02:04:00.640 there are There definitely are legitim organizations do this, and 2587 02:04:00.720 --> 02:04:03.239 if you give it directly to a hospital, they will, 2588 02:04:03.600 --> 02:04:05.680 I'm sure, taken. I'm sure they're used to this sort 2589 02:04:05.720 --> 02:04:07.960 of thing. Sure they probably want you to like bring 2590 02:04:08.039 --> 02:04:09.720 a box of stuff and not just like here's a 2591 02:04:09.840 --> 02:04:13.920 random switch with no power cable or something. But yeah, 2592 02:04:14.319 --> 02:04:17.199 I think that there's probably people who work in these, 2593 02:04:18.279 --> 02:04:20.600 you know, health institutions that will can point you in 2594 02:04:20.680 --> 02:04:22.000 the direction of who you need to talk to to 2595 02:04:22.960 --> 02:04:24.600 make sure that a kid is actually going to get 2596 02:04:24.600 --> 02:04:26.079 their hands on one of these things. Yeah, I think 2597 02:04:26.119 --> 02:04:26.760 that's a great idea. 2598 02:04:27.000 --> 02:04:31.079 Additionally, I know that we automatically defaulted donating to a 2599 02:04:31.159 --> 02:04:34.199 children's hospital, which you should do. I do encourage you 2600 02:04:34.319 --> 02:04:37.279 to seek out a local hospital. Maybe their children's wing 2601 02:04:37.359 --> 02:04:40.600 would accept the switch, but you know sometimes a convalescent 2602 02:04:40.720 --> 02:04:43.600 home and a retirement home would also gladly take that. 2603 02:04:44.920 --> 02:04:46.600 Just for you try to smuggle it into prison. 2604 02:04:46.880 --> 02:04:53.359 Yeah, yeah, yeah, Mike Minatti.
