I got to use that last year 343 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:40.919 and it was helpful because I didn't know how to 344 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:43.879 get around as much last year. But this year it 345 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:46.639 was down because it was there's construction going on, so 346 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.000 I didn't get do it. But that is convenient. Uh yeah, 347 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.759 the event itself, it's it's still a lot of fun. 348 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:54.960 I put out that video a couple of weeks ago. 349 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:57.039 You know what it's like to be at EVO, and 350 00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:00.399 it's it just keeps growing and getting better under you know, 351 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:02.919 the new I guess it would be new owners. I 352 00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:04.840 don't know if it's new ownership, but at least under 353 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:08.120 new management. The guy who runs Combo Breaker now runs 354 00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:11.360 EVO and a lot of his teams by Sony. Right, yeah, 355 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:13.600 it's owned by Sony.

It's great 361 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:34.799 because now that's bigger than ever. This year had more 362 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:38.919 attendees than ever. It's just a big old convention. Even 363 00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:42.080 if you're not duper into fighting games. It's still a 364 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:44.559 great convention to go to if it's like a reasonable 365 00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:46.840 amount of travel and like you have somewhere staying or 366 00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:48.600 anything like that. If you can just if you're in 367 00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:51.039 Vegas or you can easily get there and just like 368 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:53.879 hang out with friends like split a room or they 369 00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:56.159 with someone who lives there. It's a great time because 370 00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:58.360 you can do other things like go to the Massive 371 00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:02.159 Arcade and stuff. That arcade they advertise as being the 372 00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:05.720 second biggest in the US. The arcade at that they 373 00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:07.640 bring to EVO, which is very funny. 374 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:08.640 Galloping Ghost number one. 375 00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:11.119 Yeah, I assume they're just saying because yeah, Galloping Ghost 376 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.079 is the biggest. Hilariously, though, I probably have a bad 377 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:16.359 time just playing at the arcade at EVO because the 378 00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:18.680 machines aren't all broken like they are a calping Ghost. 379 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:21.880 Oh yeah, yeah, they they're getting a little bit with 380 00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:22.839 the maintenance over there. 381 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:24.759 Unfortunately. It's a lot of machines. 382 00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:27.119 Yeah, but yeah, they have a bunch of cool things, 383 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:29.039 a bunch of machines that you wouldn't normally get to play. 384 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:29.759 There's like this. 385 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:32.519 Mech game where you like get in a pilot's seat 386 00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:35.799 and it's like jerking you around like Amusement Park Ryan stuff. 387 00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:38.359 There's all kinds of rhythm games like if you see 388 00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:41.119 them on stream at GDQ and stuff. That's that's a 389 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:45.200 great way to spare time at EVO. I like, I 390 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.279 spent most of the weekend not playing fighting games because 391 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:49.519 they didn't compete this year. 392 00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:49.799 You know. 393 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:51.799 I was doing a little bit of work, got interviews 394 00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:54.720 going up on the channel on the site, and so 395 00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:57.839 I just watched like Top twenty four and some Top 396 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:01.839 eights on Sunday, and that's how I interacted with fighting 397 00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:04.200 games for most of the weekend, outside of previewing a 398 00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:06.519 couple of games, which I'll talk about in a little 399 00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:09.119 bit here. Yeah, it was a really fun time. Got 400 00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:11.640 to meet some people I've always wanted to meet. Always 401 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:14.359 Be Clothing and Marino were out there, so I finally 402 00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:17.359 got to meet up with those guys. Got to meet Susie, 403 00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:20.079 his spear hunter who's hanging out at a friend's booth 404 00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:21.880 in the artist ally. He was great talking to her 405 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:24.759 for a while. Got just I'll be yeah, Jane, I 406 00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:27.960 heard the story of you helping her survive E three 407 00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:30.480 twenty nineteen. That was a I want to repeat it, 408 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.440 but that our boy Chance just always helping people out, 409 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:38.440 isn't he. Oh yeah, Yeah, it's just a fantastic place 410 00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:41.960 to be. I can't emphasize this enough that it keeps 411 00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:45.160 getting better. And Marino knows. He was there last year 412 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:47.319 as well, and we were talking about it a little 413 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:49.759 bit of Yeah, they really did fix a lot of 414 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:51.720 the issues we had with last year, and that's good 415 00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:54.720 to see how they are improving, even if it's getting expensive. 416 00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:57.960 Evo's not The convention itself isn't cheap. That's why I say, like, 417 00:18:58.039 --> 00:18:59.640 find a cheap way to get there if you want 418 00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:02.319 to go, and like stay in everything, because the event 419 00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:04.759 itself is now to like two hundred dollars to tend 420 00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:07.880 for the three day pass, which is not cheap. There's 421 00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:10.440 a lot to do. There's certainly a lot to do, 422 00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:12.519 a lot of freebies, a lot of giveaways and stuff. 423 00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:14.160 But yeah, do you feel like you see that money 424 00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:16.039 when you're walking around, like you see where that money 425 00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:16.519 is going? 426 00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:19.279 Or does it feel like most of it's going toward management? 427 00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:22.559 It's going to being in Vegas. Frankly, like being I mean, 428 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:23.200 Vegas has. 429 00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:24.960 Got to be cheap relative to a lot of other cities. 430 00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:28.559 For oh Man, like, like what would where would be 431 00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:31.680 cheaper because like the Vegas convention centers like pretty affordable. 432 00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:35.160 Anywhere in the Middlewest. Frankly, that's why still like that's 433 00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:36.200 going up. That's only like. 434 00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:39.839 One to one Cleveland. Yeah, Okay, Cleveland would be cheaper. 435 00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:41.039 I would bet you're probably right. 436 00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:43.319 Yeah, but I think at this point it's just in 437 00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:47.200 Vegas for the historical significance. At this point is where 438 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:49.960 it's been for the longest time, so that's where they're keeping. 439 00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:52.480 But yeah, they are improving it each year. You do 440 00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:57.400 see that things like the stage, the final Sunday stage 441 00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:01.200 they have they scaled back the bleachers that they had 442 00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:03.359 last year in order to get just more chairs in there. 443 00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:04.480 And that's the compromise. 444 00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:07.839 Hey, not as like comfy or exciting seating, but everybody 445 00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:09.839 gets to watch if they want to be in the arena. 446 00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:12.240 It was a ticket event, so they made sure that 447 00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:14.960 like there's a right number of people in there and everything. 448 00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:19.240 They get these big, beautiful screens that you would see 449 00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:23.519 at a concert or whatever. It's awesome. It's just fun 450 00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:26.319 to watch the hype moments in the top eight happen 451 00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:27.720 on gigantic screens. 452 00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:30.440 And everything. People've been off and running up and down. 453 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:32.599 What was the best top eight you saw? 454 00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:36.559 You know, the funny thing is best top a saw 455 00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:39.079 might not have been on the Grand Stage. It might 456 00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:42.519 have been the Killer Instinct one. Yeah, that was just 457 00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:45.279 so it's always a fun game to watch. There were 458 00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:50.559 some fun moments in the Grand Blue One as well. Unfortunately, 459 00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:52.720 a lot of the games right now are kind of 460 00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:55.440 dominated by like the best players and the best characters. 461 00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:57.559 So that was a lot of what we saw on Sunday, 462 00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:02.119 Like if anyone watched Street Fighter, just watching Meta just 463 00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:03.559 absolutely destroy that. 464 00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:07.920 Yeah stage with Bloka that was very dominant. 465 00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:11.559 Pekan was Arcela and Nash versus Active just you know, 466 00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:14.720 Pakistan being incredible at the game, which is great, Like 467 00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:17.000 it's cool to see that they're so dedicated to it, 468 00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:19.680 but they're also a little boring to watch because they 469 00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:21.880 play it so well in that game. 470 00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:24.440 Right, It's like when I when I go to watch 471 00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:26.720 minor league baseball, it's like, oh, baseball could be super 472 00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:29.920 entertaining when they're not quite as good at it. 473 00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:33.319 Yeah, I like going to high school football for that. 474 00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:34.200 Yeah, exactly. 475 00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:36.720 That was like, I don't think you meant to do that. 476 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:39.680 Yeah, it's like when we compete against other video game webs. 477 00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:42.440 Yeah, if everyone's so bored with users were so perfect. 478 00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:46.039 Yeah, yeah, for some games it's a little Yeah, it's 479 00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:49.720 not so to watch a Guilty gear chat. Also Guilty 480 00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:51.279 Gear Top. It was pretty fun to watch. I like 481 00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:52.279 to see that in the arena. 482 00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:54.960 I thought I really enjoyed the cap converce Kate to 483 00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:56.880 Top eight on the not on the main stage, but 484 00:21:57.279 --> 00:21:57.960 I thought that was great. 485 00:21:58.039 --> 00:21:59.640 Yeah, that was one of them on side stage. I 486 00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:01.000 wish I just knch more. 487 00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:02.880 For that and Killer Instinct.

Very good job, Dan. 623 00:28:46.480 --> 00:28:50.799 I didn't touch up too many things. Yeah, yeah, Sean, 624 00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:53.880 he went to EVO. We just chatted about that. In 625 00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:55.720 one of the games. You got to check out a 626 00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:59.640 few games. You played Invincible, Victoria's Secret. 627 00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:03.480 That's what versus VS stands for, Yes, exactly, Whattory see 628 00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:06.519 your chat for Versus. 629 00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:06.799 Yeah, I got. 630 00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:08.640 I was suddenly interested in Invincible. 631 00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:14.160 I went to the booth and I got an appointment 632 00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:15.839 for this one. So I did get to sit down 633 00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:19.440 and play with the games director and we just chatted 634 00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:21.839 about the game and played for about an hour. So 635 00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:23.559 I got a lot of footage we could like turn 636 00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:25.839 into something I'd like to turn to something we'll see 637 00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:31.319 what happens there. But this game is very interesting. It's 638 00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:36.000 kind of everything and the kitchen sink, the tag team 639 00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:39.559 fighting game where if you can think of a fighting game, 640 00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:44.680 mechanic boy, it's in there somewhere in some form. Basically 641 00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:47.839 everything except I was very excited to hear this, except 642 00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:50.839 for Comeback mechanics. That's the one thing that putting in. 643 00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:54.319 So no x fector no sparking, all that stuff. 644 00:29:54.359 --> 00:29:56.039 Does it have the thing from Time Killers where you 645 00:29:56.079 --> 00:29:57.839 can cut off their arm and leg and they keep fighting. 646 00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:02.880 I know they don't keep fighting, but it is invincible. 647 00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:06.039 So people blow up a lot. Dan from a punch the. 648 00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:08.599 Blade thing where you can hit him in the head 649 00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:09.880 with the weapon and the die immediately. 650 00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:12.200 Oh if you end the round with that, yes, their 651 00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:16.680 head will explode, yes, okay, okay, So yeah, I don't 652 00:30:16.680 --> 00:30:18.440 know if this is the official term they're gonna use, 653 00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:22.519 but because innvincible, it's a very bloody game. Blood accumulates 654 00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:25.880 both on offense and defense. He says that the fist 655 00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:28.920 they call him the blood gauntlets because as you punch someone, 656 00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:31.640 the blood stays on their hands as the fight goes on, 657 00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:34.559 and then like blood splatters, will stay on the opponent 658 00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:35.880 and the ground and stuff like that. 659 00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:38.400 It is in motion. 660 00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:42.200 I don't think streams like the trailer they showed at 661 00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:44.599 what would have been Summer Game Fest or whatever, the 662 00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:45.759 Xbox showcase something. 663 00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:49.200 Yeah, its xbox X. I played at Xbox. I played 664 00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:52.200 at Xbox's installation at SGF. 665 00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:55.119 Okay, I don't think that shows off the game in 666 00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:57.880 motion as well as when you're actually playing it, because 667 00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:00.920 there's a lot going on the back. Not great for 668 00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:04.079 bitray and everything. It looks very clean, it looks really 669 00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:07.359 nice in person. And also if everything I just mentioned 670 00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:09.319 about the blood and everything doesn't do it for you, 671 00:31:09.519 --> 00:31:12.200 because it's invincible, it's going to be there. They did 672 00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:14.599 announce that there is a like a streamer mode where 673 00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:17.000 you can turn like that stuff off and have a 674 00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:19.000 less gory experience. 675 00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:21.880 Wait, that falls under streamer mode. Why would that be? 676 00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:25.480 Well, because people get demonetized constantly on YouTube for showing 677 00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:28.960 excessive gore and like Mortal Kombat and stuff. Really, yeah, 678 00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:31.920 you can't show a fatality in MK anymore, even the 679 00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:35.640 x rays anymore, because the yeah YouTube's good enough at 680 00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:39.039 detecting like, oh, there's blood on the screen. Demonetized and 681 00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:41.279 maybe even age restricted to eighteen plus. 682 00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:44.640 Though, is it getting caught thinking it's like actual violence stuff, 683 00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:47.880 or is it specifically trying to like crack down like MK. 684 00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:50.960 In particular, like has gotten good enough that Yeah, the 685 00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:54.759 algorithm thinks you're showing actual, actual gore. 686 00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:57.559 That sucks. Yeah, but the game is fun. It is 687 00:31:57.880 --> 00:31:58.920 very much. 688 00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:04.119 Three mixed with Killer Instinct at its core, which makes 689 00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:07.359 sense because quarter up, quarters Up, I forget what it 690 00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:09.880 is is the developer on this, and a lot of 691 00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:14.119 them are from the former Killer Well Helix back today 692 00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:17.359 before even Iron Galaxy took over, so a lot of 693 00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:19.160 them they just were like, hey, let's get the band 694 00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:21.720 back together. Let's make a tag team game, because that's 695 00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:24.039 what we want to make a lot of those right now, 696 00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:27.000 so we'll see how that pans out. But this one 697 00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:29.680 was fun once I started learning all the mechanics, learning 698 00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:32.759 how everything works together, because it does feel like they 699 00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:36.160 are just taking elements all these little things you know 700 00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:39.839 from different games from the Marvel versus cafcom series, from 701 00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:42.799 their own work on Killer Instinct, as the combo meter 702 00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:45.599 where you can do anything you want, like moves just 703 00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:49.039 link into other moves until that meter fills up. And 704 00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:51.039 then you know they'll pop out the combo if you 705 00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:53.039 fill that meter up, or you can like end the 706 00:32:53.079 --> 00:32:55.839 combo early with a super or the right heavy move 707 00:32:55.960 --> 00:32:59.279 or something. It's very fun and they do a bunch 708 00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:01.359 of cool little things I think will get people in 709 00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:04.880 the door with First of all, the gameplay. It does 710 00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:07.359 have like auto combos a little bit. They're not like 711 00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:09.880 great auto combos how should be. We can kind of 712 00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:12.000 just mash buns. Cool things will happen. You get to 713 00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:14.839 see them each use their supers. The characters are all 714 00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:17.240 interacting with each other. A lot of voices from the 715 00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:20.680 show and everything are back in. They have one of 716 00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:23.480 the artists, I don't know where he's from, but he's 717 00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:26.000 worked on series before. It's like consulting on all the 718 00:33:26.119 --> 00:33:27.960 art and everything like that. I believe the creator is 719 00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:31.640 consulting as well, and so it's just very authentic. A 720 00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:33.720 lot of fans aers there for people who want and 721 00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:38.799 then they do cool things like age transitions. If you're familiar, 722 00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:40.319 A lot of fighting games have this where like you 723 00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:42.480 knock them into the wall and they'll go to like 724 00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:44.920 the different pars stage. Guilty Gear has it where that 725 00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:46.920 you go to like a really different parts of stage. 726 00:33:48.079 --> 00:33:50.559 This has it where it makes sense because it's invincible. 727 00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:53.119 When you punch them through the stage transition, they go 728 00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:58.200 to a different stage like like you know, stage select 729 00:33:58.319 --> 00:34:01.400 on the stage seleg screen a different stage. Wow, okay cool, 730 00:34:01.599 --> 00:34:03.960 which makes sense because yeah, they're like it's it's invincible. 731 00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:05.920 They're like fighting around the world and everything like that 732 00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:07.119 because they're superheroes. 733 00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:10.039 So yeah, it's into. 734 00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:12.559 Space like that, like that's on the stage is yeah, 735 00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:15.360 So like I think I think it's like randomly picked. 736 00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:17.360 But you'll, yeah, you'll just go to like the space 737 00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:17.960 stage or whatever. 738 00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:19.400 Yeah, I think i'd die. 739 00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:22.840 Yeah, I think I think of any of us, you'd 740 00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:25.039 have the best chance of surviving being punched into space. 741 00:34:25.239 --> 00:34:26.280 Well that means a lot, thank you. 742 00:34:26.559 --> 00:34:27.239 Yeah you got it. 743 00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:28.480 Sean. 744 00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:30.559 While we're talking about versus games, you might as well 745 00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:32.400 get this out of the way as well. I'm excited 746 00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:36.440 to hear about Marvel Pocon Fighting Souls because this is 747 00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:37.800 four v four. 748 00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:43.559 Yeah, four v four tag fighting game that weirdly doesn't 749 00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:46.880 much feel like a fourty four tag fighting game. This 750 00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:49.320 was a very strange one to play, like after my 751 00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:54.480 Invincible appointment, because Invincible is very much what you would 752 00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:58.079 think like a three v three tag fighting game is. 753 00:34:58.199 --> 00:35:01.760 I say, it's very Marvel versus cap I'm inspired. This one, 754 00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:05.719 despite being a Marvel fighting game, is not very Marvel 755 00:35:05.800 --> 00:35:10.119 versus Capcom inspired because there's an emphasis on the two 756 00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:13.559 characters on the screen fighting each other, and then you 757 00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:17.679 tag in assists. You don't like you can switch to 758 00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:20.760 other characters, but so far it doesn't feel like that's 759 00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:23.320 the focus of the game necessarily. It's almost more like 760 00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:26.519 I can see Chad already says it may like Mortal 761 00:35:26.599 --> 00:35:29.719 Kombat one, where you know, like that has an assist 762 00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:32.199 character that you bring in, right, but that's not a 763 00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:32.760 tag game. 764 00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:35.719 You're not switching me for your entire team. 765 00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:38.719 So yeah, the other iron Man gets killed and now 766 00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:39.960 Captain America comes in. 767 00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:44.639 Yes, exactly, it's one one bar for one health gauge 768 00:35:44.679 --> 00:35:47.840 for your entire team. But if you are switching between them, 769 00:35:48.280 --> 00:35:51.880 you're kind of just getting access to different different move 770 00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:55.280 sets and everything. You're not specifically switching to more characters, 771 00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:58.159 and the gameian starts. I didn't know this was the 772 00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:00.760 case until I played it. You only start with two characters, 773 00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:05.039 like it's just you and your first support character, which, 774 00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:07.239 by the way, the order in which you select your 775 00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:12.000 team determines what assist they will use when you call them, oh, weird, 776 00:36:12.199 --> 00:36:15.119 interesting thing that they're doing there. But yeah, when a 777 00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:17.760 big moment happens, which as far as we know, is 778 00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:21.280 grabbing or doing that stage transition, like I mentioned that 779 00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:23.559 they have stage transitions in here too, you knock them 780 00:36:23.559 --> 00:36:27.280 through the wall, then you get an additional character. You'll 781 00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:30.159 get an additional pip of meter, a little bit of 782 00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:34.000 extra health, but you're not gaining an entirely new character 783 00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:37.360 like entirely new health, bower or anything. You just basically 784 00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:40.480 unlock another assist and the ability to do a little 785 00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:43.480 bit more. So it feels more like a traditional one 786 00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:46.840 v one fighting game. Even in movement, which concerns me 787 00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:50.119 a little bit. It feels a little slow. It's a 788 00:36:50.159 --> 00:36:52.960 little guilty your strive, and that's you're not dashing all 789 00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:55.480 over the goddamn place, which is what you expect on 790 00:36:55.760 --> 00:36:59.320 Marvel Fighting games. So yeah, it felt very different. 791 00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:01.760 I feel like, does I feel like a deliberate choice 792 00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:03.840 like they are. They don't want to be one to 793 00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:05.920 one compared to the previous Marvel games, so they're going 794 00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:07.639 for the slower style on purpose. Yeah. 795 00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:09.639 They said in that trailer that they want to do 796 00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:12.960 their version of a fighting game, their version of a 797 00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:15.480 tag team fighter. And that's what it feels like here 798 00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:17.880 that they are intentionally going out of their way to 799 00:37:18.119 --> 00:37:21.519 try new things, to bring something new to tag team 800 00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:24.480 fighting games. And we'll see how it plays out, because 801 00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:26.360 I think if nothing else, people are going to get 802 00:37:26.360 --> 00:37:29.880 in the door because this game looks incredible. Yeah, you do, 803 00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:32.639 our system works. That's all I do nowadays is make 804 00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:34.679 gorgeous fighting choice showcases. 805 00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:34.960 Yeah. 806 00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:37.960 Yeah, I guess when they announces I assumed, oh, this 807 00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:39.320 is going to be kind of like their fall up 808 00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:41.840 the Dragon Ball Fighters, because that was very Marvel versus 809 00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:42.599 Capcom code. 810 00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:45.159 Right, But yeah, it seems a little more in the 811 00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:47.920 vein of their other games like Guilty Gear and then 812 00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:50.679 you know, Guilty Gear even had like an experimental like 813 00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:53.880 THREEB three mode recently, it seems like maybe they were 814 00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:55.760 trying some stuff out there to see if they want 815 00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:59.039 to implement them in Token, but it was still it 816 00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:01.039 was still fun. It maybe it sounds like I'm being 817 00:38:01.079 --> 00:38:04.360 a little like apprehensive, like I don't know about this one. 818 00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:06.519 This seems a little this seems like a little off. 819 00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:09.840 It's very fun. It's just so different than what I 820 00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:12.480 think all of us were expecting. It's just it's gonna 821 00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:15.960 take time to accept that the next Marvel Tag Team 822 00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:18.719 Fighting game does not play like Marl versus cafcom, which 823 00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:21.960 for you know, years at this point. 824 00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:25.480 It's funny as you were describing picking up new characters 825 00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:28.480 for your little roster, it starts sounding like Mario Party 826 00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:32.480 for a second, and then I got scared. A party 827 00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:35.119 of all things. Huh yeah, you know, you get the 828 00:38:35.400 --> 00:38:39.039 opportunity to pick up another do that? That's right? 829 00:38:39.199 --> 00:38:42.440 Yeah, the Super Mario Party, the first one on Switch. Yeah, 830 00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:43.400 absolutly great one. 831 00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:47.280 How do you do you select a specific character when 832 00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:48.679 you get to one of those instances? 833 00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:50.880 I know in order? 834 00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:55.679 So on the character select, yeah, you you you select 835 00:38:55.719 --> 00:38:56.599 your point character. 836 00:38:56.559 --> 00:38:58.679 Waiting in the wing right, they're like waiting after the 837 00:38:58.760 --> 00:38:59.760 side and it is in the. 838 00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:02.079 You pick them on character select, So you pick your 839 00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:04.760 point character. Like let's say you pick Captain America. He's 840 00:39:04.840 --> 00:39:06.960 your point character, he's who you start with, and you 841 00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:09.519 pick Iron Man as I forget what the order is, 842 00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:13.840 but it's like it's like a projectile assist, and then 843 00:39:13.920 --> 00:39:19.280 it's launcher assist and then other assist and the other 844 00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:23.199 characters you pick like Iron Man and Miss Marvel and whoever. 845 00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:25.079 Last one, well, letting assess you get to go to 846 00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:30.639 a home. Wow, okay, nice, I thought I'm here for everyone. 847 00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:31.880 That's why we took so long too. 848 00:39:33.159 --> 00:39:35.039 We knew that he was charging. 849 00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:38.719 Before we move on from it, which I think that 850 00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:41.639 sounds cool actually being like selecting an order and being 851 00:39:41.719 --> 00:39:44.039 the assist that they're going to do, because that makes 852 00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:45.960 it very simple for me to think about, Like I 853 00:39:46.199 --> 00:39:48.480 completely understand, like, Okay, I could build a team in 854 00:39:48.519 --> 00:39:50.000 this way, and whoever I put in the slot when 855 00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:52.000 I hit that button to bring them out, we're going 856 00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:52.719 to do that thing. 857 00:39:53.159 --> 00:39:55.199 And so I can use all these characters that are 858 00:39:55.280 --> 00:39:58.599 disparate in play style or whatever in effectively the same 859 00:39:58.639 --> 00:39:59.920 way no matter how I select them. 860 00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:03.199 That's helpful to me. Yeah. I bet that's what they're thinking, 861 00:40:03.320 --> 00:40:03.920 I believe. 862 00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:06.519 So what happens is, like I said, you can tag 863 00:40:06.639 --> 00:40:09.440 between characters during the match. It's like not emphasized, but 864 00:40:09.519 --> 00:40:11.800 you can. So you might think, well, wait, what happens 865 00:40:11.800 --> 00:40:14.440 if I like switch, yeah, this character down to that slot, 866 00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:17.199 do they do that assist. I believe, yes, the assists 867 00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:20.199 are always bound to the bun like, even if the 868 00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:23.519 person who starts as your projectalysis gets like shuffled around 869 00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:27.119 because you're you are switching characters. I believe that anytime 870 00:40:27.159 --> 00:40:29.599 you press that butun whoever is in that slot will 871 00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:32.280 do a projectalysis. So the assists are a little more 872 00:40:32.400 --> 00:40:36.519 generic than Marl versus capcom as well. Sure, yeah, I didn't. 873 00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:38.559 I didn't have an appointment. So if it sounds like, 874 00:40:38.719 --> 00:40:40.360 you know, I'm a little scattered brain ey, it's because 875 00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:41.840 I am. I only got to like go through the 876 00:40:41.960 --> 00:40:44.000 line each time. It wasn't very long. It was like 877 00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:44.920 a twenty minute wait. 878 00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:46.679 It was oh good, that was doable. 879 00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:49.360 So I didn't get to play with the developers or anything, 880 00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:53.079 understand it quite as much. Hilariously, though, I did get 881 00:40:53.079 --> 00:40:55.880 to play next to a developer. Herado was playing next 882 00:40:55.920 --> 00:40:57.880 to me while I was at the station one time. 883 00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:00.960 You just whisper waffle how to them the whole time. 884 00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:05.320 As much as I would like to no, it's it's 885 00:41:05.360 --> 00:41:08.239 a very fun game. I'm interested to see how people 886 00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:13.320 react to it. It's all the controller soup. I'm curious 887 00:41:13.400 --> 00:41:16.000 how casuals react to that because it is like a 888 00:41:16.840 --> 00:41:22.320 I guess technically seven bun fighting game. I mean right, 889 00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:25.400 it's a little deceptive at first that they've simplified things, 890 00:41:25.440 --> 00:41:27.480 but it also got some depths to it. 891 00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:29.159 I'm curious to see how it pans out for them. 892 00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:32.599 Nice, nice, glad to hear that you got to check 893 00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:35.880 out some neat stuff at EVO, Sean something that we've 894 00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:39.079 been meaning to check out or actually check in is 895 00:41:39.719 --> 00:41:44.000 our punishment check in. And if folks remember, Dan Reichert 896 00:41:44.199 --> 00:41:48.079 handily destroyed all all of us. 897 00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:52.960 In our Tony Hawk Cruise Challenge where to get to 898 00:41:53.000 --> 00:41:55.320 the cruise level first time score play it the real way. 899 00:41:57.039 --> 00:41:58.320 Mike was supposed to be the best gamer. 900 00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:01.039 Giant bomb weird what I deal with a shotgun and 901 00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:01.800 bataffeled six. 902 00:42:01.880 --> 00:42:02.400 It was bad. 903 00:42:03.039 --> 00:42:06.360 Tried to embarrass me by posting that clip, but motherfucker, 904 00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:09.440 I should add that to the listener for it. 905 00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:10.400 But yes, go on. 906 00:42:11.519 --> 00:42:14.239 But our punishments and Jeff Grubby for with yours is 907 00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:16.800 Mike Manata.

Oh, 916 00:42:41.679 --> 00:42:42.880 I love hearing it's an all timer. 917 00:42:43.039 --> 00:42:45.760 Yeah, I'm so lucky that somehow I had very little 918 00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:46.840 that game spoiled to me. 919 00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:50.079 I didn't even know it was a loop. You definitely wow, 920 00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:52.360 because I'm sure I told you about it. It's the 921 00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:54.639 kind of game.

I absolutely loved it on such 926 00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:10.039 a twenty nineteen apology towards that and something else that 927 00:43:10.079 --> 00:43:12.719 I'll be playing. I can't believe I didn't check this 928 00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:14.960 out at the time. I don't know what's wrong with me. 929 00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:17.599 So thank you Dan for forcing me to finally get it. 930 00:43:17.679 --> 00:43:18.079 Thank you Dan. 931 00:43:18.199 --> 00:43:20.400 It's a good one to force people, because, like you know, 932 00:43:20.519 --> 00:43:23.039 Maharty did that to me. We got beers after GB 933 00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:24.960 East once and he was like, Dan, I know this 934 00:43:25.079 --> 00:43:27.039 probably wouldn't be a thing that you would play normally, 935 00:43:27.599 --> 00:43:29.280 but you really need to try. And he gave me 936 00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:31.480 like a couple little teases of like, oh, it's a 937 00:43:31.519 --> 00:43:33.679 planet where it's like based on you go this time 938 00:43:33.719 --> 00:43:35.440 of day, the sand is like this, and when you 939 00:43:35.480 --> 00:43:37.559 go like it's like the loop factor and everything. 940 00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:38.800 So like he gave me the hard sell and it 941 00:43:38.840 --> 00:43:39.920 became one of my favorite games ever. 942 00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:43.119 So each planet has something weird and different going on 943 00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:45.960 there that's even weirder and more different than it appears 944 00:43:47.119 --> 00:43:48.880 to do it than you could ever expect looking at it. 945 00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:51.519 Yes, yeah, God, I need to go to the DLC 946 00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:54.119 and finally check that out.

You're starting with Yoshi's story, and they've all 1083 00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:39.119 just been like man like Yosha's Islanders is the fact that. 1084 00:49:39.199 --> 00:49:43.039 Like, babies love Yoshi, kids love Yoshi all right, but. 1085 00:49:43.960 --> 00:49:46.400 Too damn it, what about all of us adult men. 1086 00:49:48.280 --> 00:49:51.039 Something for me for once? It's very much what they 1087 00:49:51.079 --> 00:49:53.840 think of the forty year old men. It's filling the 1088 00:49:53.960 --> 00:49:56.960 role for them, right. They need some game in that role, 1089 00:49:57.039 --> 00:49:59.480 and they've decided that Kirby and Yoshi, let's get in. 1090 00:49:59.559 --> 00:50:02.480 Kirby's kind of graduating all of that, but they're leaving Yo. 1091 00:50:02.480 --> 00:50:03.800 At least we got Yoshi's. 1092 00:50:03.440 --> 00:50:05.840 Island, like it can be multi fascinating because you know, 1093 00:50:05.880 --> 00:50:08.079 a Kirby, we did get Star Allies is the baby 1094 00:50:08.119 --> 00:50:09.679 one and it was really bad, but you know, maybe 1095 00:50:09.719 --> 00:50:10.519 the babies liked it. 1096 00:50:10.840 --> 00:50:12.679 But then we also got Forgotten Land. 1097 00:50:12.519 --> 00:50:14.599 On Switch and it was still it wasn't some super 1098 00:50:14.679 --> 00:50:17.000 difficult game, but it was satisfying for everybody. 1099 00:50:17.440 --> 00:50:19.519 Yeah, it was more like a Mario. Everyone could enjoy that. 1100 00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:20.880 So you know, if you want to make some two 1101 00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:23.519 D Yoshi gave her babies again, that's fine, but. 1102 00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:25.440 Like, yeah, give me a big three D Yoshi game, 1103 00:50:25.440 --> 00:50:26.119 it'd be amazing. 1104 00:50:26.599 --> 00:50:28.960 Like it seems like a missed opportunity. I know, the 1105 00:50:29.519 --> 00:50:34.599 Nintendo Land in Universal Studios La or Hollywood is pretty small, 1106 00:50:35.039 --> 00:50:37.360 but yo, you could have like a carousel and it's 1107 00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:38.239 all just Yoshi's. 1108 00:50:38.320 --> 00:50:39.880 Well, so yeah, the one and you know the one 1109 00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:42.400 in Orlando has a Yoshi ride.

It's very slow, 1121 00:51:10.320 --> 00:51:12.800 but it's neat and it's very Yoshi's Island themed, so 1122 00:51:13.079 --> 00:51:14.480 you can see some of that stuff in there. 1123 00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:17.679 Yeah, I really enjoy this punishment.

Yeah, Double seven 1167 00:53:13.320 --> 00:53:16.239 Everything or Nothing, which I played through, uh, probably about 1168 00:53:16.280 --> 00:53:18.760 a third of on stream, and then that was on 1169 00:53:18.840 --> 00:53:21.840 the computer, and I since restarted it on steam Deck 1170 00:53:21.920 --> 00:53:23.440 so I could play it more conveniently and I got 1171 00:53:23.519 --> 00:53:26.960 up to the same point. Uh, and I am enjoying 1172 00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:27.239 that game. 1173 00:53:27.360 --> 00:53:27.840 Quite a bit. 1174 00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:28.239 It is. 1175 00:53:28.639 --> 00:53:31.119 You know, you always have to reacclimate yourself to third 1176 00:53:31.159 --> 00:53:35.320 person shooters before, you know, Resident Evil uh two or 1177 00:53:35.440 --> 00:53:37.199 for and a bunch of other stuff kind of like 1178 00:53:37.360 --> 00:53:40.679 really solidified solidified what that genre was going to be. 1179 00:53:41.519 --> 00:53:43.079 But once you do, it's like, oh no, a lot 1180 00:53:43.119 --> 00:53:45.679 of that stuff was already here. Uh and they have. 1181 00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:49.400 It's just a really good series of set pieces where 1182 00:53:49.480 --> 00:53:52.440 James Bond's doing very James Bond stuff. And even though 1183 00:53:52.480 --> 00:53:55.000 the product placement, like the Porsche Cayenne, like when it 1184 00:53:55.079 --> 00:53:56.960 was first coming out, that's his car in this game, 1185 00:53:57.320 --> 00:53:59.840 then like kind of putting that front and center, it's 1186 00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:02.239 hokey in the way you want James Bond to be hokey. 1187 00:54:02.559 --> 00:54:04.519 And I've been enjoying that. And you know, there's the 1188 00:54:04.559 --> 00:54:06.960 occasional like, what is this game trying to get me 1189 00:54:07.039 --> 00:54:09.440 to do? Okay, all right, I'll guess I'll try to 1190 00:54:09.480 --> 00:54:11.199 make see if that works, and then it does, it's 1191 00:54:11.239 --> 00:54:13.280 like okay, they were still trying to figure out how 1192 00:54:13.320 --> 00:54:15.519 to exactly convey to the player like Okay, we're gonna 1193 00:54:15.920 --> 00:54:17.559 get you to this point and then we're gonna take 1194 00:54:17.559 --> 00:54:20.119 over control so we could do our fun big splashy sequence, 1195 00:54:21.320 --> 00:54:23.159 but you know, that's only happened a couple times where 1196 00:54:23.199 --> 00:54:24.559 I kind of felt lost. 1197 00:54:24.360 --> 00:54:25.559 About what it wanted from me. 1198 00:54:25.840 --> 00:54:27.320 The rest of the time, I'm like kind of blasting 1199 00:54:27.360 --> 00:54:29.679 my way through levels. The gun play is actually pretty fun. 1200 00:54:30.599 --> 00:54:33.440 The game looks fantastic. I've been I did play it 1201 00:54:33.519 --> 00:54:35.719 some on the Shoot hardware. Obviously it looks good on 1202 00:54:35.800 --> 00:54:38.880 Dolphin because of the upres, but like the underlying character 1203 00:54:38.960 --> 00:54:44.239 model for Puerrece Brosnan that's his name, right, looks so good, 1204 00:54:44.400 --> 00:54:46.719 Like his face model looks so realistic that it's still 1205 00:54:46.760 --> 00:54:49.280 really impressive. And then the rest of the time, it's 1206 00:54:49.360 --> 00:54:52.079 just like it really has a nice realistic setting to 1207 00:54:52.199 --> 00:54:54.480 it where I really feel like, oh yeah, they kind 1208 00:54:54.480 --> 00:54:56.679 of got the cinematic quality that they were going for, 1209 00:54:56.960 --> 00:54:59.400 even on the GameCube. That is the generation we're graphics, 1210 00:54:59.400 --> 00:55:01.559 so like real ready graphics really got figured out. 1211 00:55:01.880 --> 00:55:03.199 But I'll say it does a couple of things that 1212 00:55:03.280 --> 00:55:05.480 I remember, like that came out in four and like, 1213 00:55:05.599 --> 00:55:06.639 you know, it does a couple of things that I 1214 00:55:06.679 --> 00:55:08.920 remember experiencing kind of for the first time with that 1215 00:55:09.039 --> 00:55:10.800 game that I think other games kind of get credit for, 1216 00:55:10.920 --> 00:55:13.199 like the cover base shooting. You know, there's you know, 1217 00:55:13.280 --> 00:55:15.159 you can like Middle Year two, you could do the 1218 00:55:15.159 --> 00:55:16.519 thing where you go against the wall and just kind 1219 00:55:16.519 --> 00:55:18.519 of pop out and shoot, but like this, you could 1220 00:55:18.599 --> 00:55:20.880 like target stuff a lot better. It had kind of 1221 00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:22.920 that Hitman vision thing if I remember right where you 1222 00:55:22.960 --> 00:55:25.480 can kind of see Bond vision. Yeah, it's like that 1223 00:55:25.639 --> 00:55:28.079 type of stuff that like I remember for the first time, 1224 00:55:28.199 --> 00:55:30.719 like that really good third person you know, cover based 1225 00:55:30.760 --> 00:55:32.280 stuff and the Bond vision. 1226 00:55:32.360 --> 00:55:35.000 I've been surprised by how many of those things are there. Yes, 1227 00:55:35.239 --> 00:55:37.239 like it really they really did figure out a lot. 1228 00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:39.480 I mean, this was it make a They made a 1229 00:55:39.519 --> 00:55:41.400 lot of these Bond games. Was this the third one 1230 00:55:41.519 --> 00:55:45.480 or the second one? Was the third one? Yeah? Third ones? Yeah, yeah, 1231 00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:49.440 Aged under Fire, Night Fire Fire, and then the Rush Rush. Yeah, 1232 00:55:49.679 --> 00:55:52.639 this does feel like the third one where back then 1233 00:55:52.719 --> 00:55:55.679 that would have been the first two were really successful. 1234 00:55:55.800 --> 00:55:57.440 They keep making more money, so we could put more, 1235 00:55:57.480 --> 00:55:59.440 even more money into this one, and they probably got 1236 00:55:59.440 --> 00:56:01.599 the minish were turn starting around here and then going 1237 00:56:01.599 --> 00:56:03.639 into the fourth one. But that meant that they could 1238 00:56:03.679 --> 00:56:05.400 put a lot of effort in there, and it shows 1239 00:56:05.480 --> 00:56:07.400 like it really does show up in the game where 1240 00:56:07.440 --> 00:56:09.800 they believed that they could. They had also like figured 1241 00:56:09.840 --> 00:56:11.360 out a lot of the problems that might have happened 1242 00:56:11.400 --> 00:56:14.039 in the first game, so so yeah, yeah, just really 1243 00:56:14.159 --> 00:56:14.559 enjoying it. 1244 00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:17.079 And last like really cool idea that it's like it's 1245 00:56:17.119 --> 00:56:18.639 not based on a movie.

I was in college from two 1269 00:57:07.880 --> 00:57:10.079 to seven, and so this is right in the heart 1270 00:57:10.119 --> 00:57:12.000 of that where EA would come to my campus and 1271 00:57:12.039 --> 00:57:14.119 to our dorms. Oh and they would set up little 1272 00:57:14.199 --> 00:57:16.559 kiosk and they would just like in the lobby of 1273 00:57:16.639 --> 00:57:19.079 the dorm and it'd be like, oh, here's you know. 1274 00:57:19.639 --> 00:57:21.679 My first time playing Burnout was at one of these things, 1275 00:57:22.280 --> 00:57:24.440 you know, so it's like these it was actually very effective. 1276 00:57:24.480 --> 00:57:26.079 It was like several games like this was one of them, 1277 00:57:26.119 --> 00:57:27.679 and I was like, oh shit, this game is actually great. 1278 00:57:27.719 --> 00:57:29.440 I'm going to games Stop right now and buying this thing. 1279 00:57:29.519 --> 00:57:32.920 You know. Yeah, the man EA was like pretty good 1280 00:57:32.960 --> 00:57:35.360 at Movie License games back in that time that the 1281 00:57:35.880 --> 00:57:38.800 Lord of the Rings games were actually really good in them, 1282 00:57:40.039 --> 00:57:44.119 was really good. The thirty eight they did the same 1283 00:57:44.159 --> 00:57:47.119 thing there where they like made another one after that that, 1284 00:57:47.280 --> 00:57:49.119 the first batch of three. It's just so wild. 1285 00:57:49.199 --> 00:57:51.800 That was like a five maybe six year console generation. 1286 00:57:51.960 --> 00:57:54.800 There was four James Bond games. They're all pretty good. 1287 00:57:55.480 --> 00:57:58.599 Yeah, not like that anymore. Oh no, no. 1288 00:58:01.320 --> 00:58:04.599 Semi related question. I guess I've always been curious about this. 1289 00:58:05.239 --> 00:58:08.800 How was Pierce Brosnan received as Bond, Because when I 1290 00:58:08.920 --> 00:58:09.559 was growing up. 1291 00:58:10.079 --> 00:58:11.599 He was just Bond for me. 1292 00:58:11.840 --> 00:58:12.679 Oh see, I was. 1293 00:58:12.719 --> 00:58:15.239 I remember when it was like, oh my god, Bond's back, 1294 00:58:15.239 --> 00:58:17.880 because Golden Eye was like ninety six, I want to say, 1295 00:58:18.079 --> 00:58:20.159 and at that point it had been like a while, 1296 00:58:20.280 --> 00:58:22.480 because like, they did a couple of Dalton ones and 1297 00:58:22.599 --> 00:58:25.719 then as a kid, I always thought Bond was like 1298 00:58:25.760 --> 00:58:27.719 an old movie for old movies, Like I didn't know 1299 00:58:27.840 --> 00:58:29.679 it was a current thing that they were still so like. 1300 00:58:29.880 --> 00:58:31.519 To me, it's like it almost felt like a legacy 1301 00:58:31.599 --> 00:58:32.599 sequel before that was a. 1302 00:58:32.679 --> 00:58:35.440 Term, especially because you know, we're all older and we 1303 00:58:35.519 --> 00:58:37.840 grew up with that. He's looked back on favorably, even 1304 00:58:37.840 --> 00:58:39.599 though I think most people were like, yeah, the first 1305 00:58:39.639 --> 00:58:41.559 movie was great, and there's other ones. 1306 00:58:41.880 --> 00:58:42.679 Golden is great. 1307 00:58:43.280 --> 00:58:45.840 Some people stand by Tom I never dies, World's done 1308 00:58:45.920 --> 00:58:47.840 enough has the Christmas only comes once a year line, 1309 00:58:47.840 --> 00:58:50.840 which is great, and then die another day is unbelievably 1310 00:58:50.920 --> 00:58:52.199 fucking stupid but kind of fun. 1311 00:58:52.400 --> 00:58:54.599 Yeah, it's kind of It's so dumb It is kind 1312 00:58:54.679 --> 00:58:57.480 of fun it it was so obviously, all right, we've 1313 00:58:57.519 --> 00:58:59.239 got too far of this direction. You can see why 1314 00:58:59.320 --> 00:59:02.239 we got a casine, you know, roy alle after totally 1315 00:59:02.880 --> 00:59:04.880 it was necessary that, Yes, but what's. 1316 00:59:04.800 --> 00:59:06.280 Kind of fun to see how stupid it got. 1317 00:59:06.679 --> 00:59:11.280 Yes, folks, we've been going for a little bit. We're 1318 00:59:11.280 --> 00:59:13.519 gonna take a quick breaky break, and we'll continue talking 1319 00:59:13.559 --> 00:59:15.840 about video games, and maybe we'll take another break and 1320 00:59:15.880 --> 00:59:18.280 then talk about the news we'll see on the other 1321 00:59:18.360 --> 00:59:23.079 side of this, and we're back. We're still talking about 1322 00:59:23.159 --> 00:59:25.079 video games. Here's a little bit of that music. 1323 00:59:26.440 --> 00:59:28.719 There was. That was a little bit of that music. Yeah, okay, 1324 00:59:29.360 --> 00:59:31.559 I was thinking about this as you. 1325 00:59:31.599 --> 00:59:35.280 Were talking about your punishment Grub and Mike you were 1326 00:59:35.280 --> 00:59:37.400 talking about getting a three D Yoshi. But like all 1327 00:59:37.440 --> 00:59:40.360 these indie games that I've been enjoying, like Big Hops, 1328 00:59:40.480 --> 00:59:43.119 Grub and all this other stuff, this could just be 1329 00:59:43.199 --> 00:59:43.960 a Yoshi game. 1330 00:59:44.719 --> 00:59:47.880 Yeah, Yoshi got not wrong. God, Big Hops really could be. 1331 00:59:48.239 --> 00:59:51.000 Yoshi got that tongue.

Yeah, I've decided I don't like the term postgame 1345 01:00:19.360 --> 01:00:22.440 content because you can put the credits wherever you want, 1346 01:00:22.599 --> 01:00:24.960 right they like they just fuck like we're gonna put 1347 01:00:25.000 --> 01:00:25.639 in the middle. 1348 01:00:25.440 --> 01:00:27.639 Of our game and don't tell anybody. But it keeps 1349 01:00:27.679 --> 01:00:28.320 going after that. 1350 01:00:29.119 --> 01:00:31.960 It's still really good and it's still that video game, 1351 01:00:32.039 --> 01:00:34.679 and it actually like kind of gets interesting in some 1352 01:00:34.880 --> 01:00:37.719 different like I don't know, the challenges are more in 1353 01:00:37.880 --> 01:00:40.519 line with the yeah, more challenging, the letting you use 1354 01:00:40.559 --> 01:00:43.360 your powers in ways that are like cool and uh 1355 01:00:43.920 --> 01:00:47.480 yeah and fresh. So I've been enjoying experiencing that, and 1356 01:00:47.559 --> 01:00:49.119 it's like it did remind me. It's like, yeah, they 1357 01:00:49.559 --> 01:00:51.400 maybe Nintendo does that a little bit now. Every once 1358 01:00:51.400 --> 01:00:53.159 in a while, there's been some other games where they 1359 01:00:53.239 --> 01:00:54.719 kind of just have the credits here and then you 1360 01:00:54.760 --> 01:00:57.480 can kind of keep playing the game. It's it's in 1361 01:00:57.679 --> 01:01:01.239 game stuff, I guess, but yeah, I've been continuing to 1362 01:01:01.280 --> 01:01:02.800 play that and kind of figuring out what it wants 1363 01:01:02.880 --> 01:01:05.400 me to do. After the credits was fun, and now 1364 01:01:05.440 --> 01:01:08.039 it's like, okayeah, these challenges are very good, and then 1365 01:01:08.159 --> 01:01:10.440 that gives me an excuse to keep exploring, and then 1366 01:01:10.480 --> 01:01:12.400 I am still one hundred percent in some levels. I 1367 01:01:12.440 --> 01:01:13.880 am at a point now where it's like, this is 1368 01:01:14.280 --> 01:01:17.159 a lot. There's so much in this game, like this 1369 01:01:17.280 --> 01:01:20.480 might be something I slowly do over the next year 1370 01:01:20.800 --> 01:01:22.599 or something like that and not try to force it 1371 01:01:22.639 --> 01:01:24.400 all right now because that would take up all my time. 1372 01:01:24.840 --> 01:01:27.559 But yeah, it's like pretty interesting to see them be like, yeah, no, 1373 01:01:27.639 --> 01:01:29.960 you beat the game, sure, and then if you want 1374 01:01:29.960 --> 01:01:31.199 to keep playing, there's more there, and it's like, no, 1375 01:01:31.440 --> 01:01:33.239 everyone should probably keep playing the game at least a 1376 01:01:33.280 --> 01:01:36.239 little bit, because they really did save some of their 1377 01:01:36.239 --> 01:01:37.760 best stuff for after those credits. 1378 01:01:38.039 --> 01:01:39.280 How many banana do you have? 1379 01:01:39.840 --> 01:01:41.960 I am at like around I'm almost at six hundred, 1380 01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:42.320 I think. 1381 01:01:42.760 --> 01:01:45.360 Okay, I'm in like the high fives. Okay, so we're 1382 01:01:45.400 --> 01:01:47.239 probably around the same spot and Gruby we haven't even 1383 01:01:47.239 --> 01:01:48.679 talked about this, but I have the exact same thought 1384 01:01:48.719 --> 01:01:50.559 of like, you know, I spent a lot of time 1385 01:01:50.599 --> 01:01:52.000 playing this game. It's been my main game for a 1386 01:01:52.039 --> 01:01:54.480 few weeks, and now it's like, I don't think it's 1387 01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:56.559 gonna be one that's hard to pick up again. No, 1388 01:01:56.800 --> 01:01:58.199 you know, I think it's gonna be one that like 1389 01:01:58.239 --> 01:02:00.719 if I'm on a flight a month from now, I'd be, oh, yeah, 1390 01:02:00.719 --> 01:02:02.320 don't count, let's get a few bananas, you know. So 1391 01:02:02.440 --> 01:02:04.519 like that is exactly how I'm viewing it. I'm moving 1392 01:02:04.559 --> 01:02:07.239 on to other things right now. But it's gonna be 1393 01:02:07.320 --> 01:02:09.079 nice to have that in the back pocket because exactly 1394 01:02:09.159 --> 01:02:12.199 that team's like post game quote unquote stuff like you know, 1395 01:02:12.360 --> 01:02:14.760 Odyssey and all that stuff, Like I always love that ship. 1396 01:02:14.960 --> 01:02:16.599 So I did see chat here. 1397 01:02:16.599 --> 01:02:18.719 Say that Pickman four gets amazing after the credits, and 1398 01:02:18.880 --> 01:02:21.519 I do remember that because one hundred percent Pickman four, 1399 01:02:21.800 --> 01:02:24.679 I forgot what it specifically did.

I just see a thing, 1427 01:03:30.280 --> 01:03:31.159 I gotta go do the thing. 1428 01:03:31.199 --> 01:03:32.639 And you know a lot of things. 1429 01:03:32.719 --> 01:03:34.880 The complaint that many things though, the complaint that I 1430 01:03:34.960 --> 01:03:37.119 had when we first talked about this, of they separate 1431 01:03:37.239 --> 01:03:41.840 out the the destruction and the platforming too much for 1432 01:03:41.960 --> 01:03:44.679 my taste. It gets better about that as the game 1433 01:03:44.880 --> 01:03:45.840 is up right, Yeah, I. 1434 01:03:45.840 --> 01:03:47.840 Think they trust you more as you play the game longer, 1435 01:03:47.840 --> 01:03:50.400 and that continues after the credits, right, Yeah. 1436 01:03:50.280 --> 01:03:52.400 So they that's kind of like you guys were getting 1437 01:03:52.440 --> 01:03:54.599 at the Nintendo thing that they do nowadays. They know 1438 01:03:54.840 --> 01:03:56.800 freaks like us will just play like all that this 1439 01:03:56.920 --> 01:03:58.679 game has to offer, so they do lock a lot 1440 01:03:58.760 --> 01:04:01.079 of that harder stuff behind the like, and I. 1441 01:04:01.079 --> 01:04:03.239 Think people also feel better if they feel like, oh, 1442 01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:06.400 I beat a game, so I feel better about this thing. 1443 01:04:06.480 --> 01:04:08.119 I think it's a mental trick that they're playing bactly 1444 01:04:08.280 --> 01:04:08.840 for sure. Yeah. 1445 01:04:08.880 --> 01:04:11.239 Yeah, I mean that's always kind of been the case though, 1446 01:04:11.280 --> 01:04:13.679 Like like think of like Mario sixty four or even 1447 01:04:13.719 --> 01:04:16.360 Super Mario World, Like you can beat that game and 1448 01:04:16.559 --> 01:04:18.559 doing like less than half the levels and then if 1449 01:04:18.599 --> 01:04:20.400 you're a sicko, you can go back and you know, 1450 01:04:20.480 --> 01:04:22.559 do all of them, like literally Mario World had that, 1451 01:04:22.719 --> 01:04:22.880 you know. 1452 01:04:23.239 --> 01:04:24.679 Yep, good point, which I like that. 1453 01:04:24.880 --> 01:04:25.639 Yeah, oh it's great. 1454 01:04:25.719 --> 01:04:29.880 Yeah, while we're checking in about Nintendo games, Dan, this 1455 01:04:30.000 --> 01:04:31.719 is a surprising thing to see on the list. But 1456 01:04:31.800 --> 01:04:34.719 you put on Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. 1457 01:04:34.960 --> 01:04:35.199 What's that? 1458 01:04:35.599 --> 01:04:37.559 Yeah, I'm at the spot where it's like, you know, 1459 01:04:37.679 --> 01:04:39.679 I'm doing what I'm doing with Bonanza, but I do 1460 01:04:39.800 --> 01:04:42.559 want to move on to something else right now as 1461 01:04:42.639 --> 01:04:45.159 my main thing, and it's like what is coming out soon. 1462 01:04:45.320 --> 01:04:47.639 It's like, I know Borderlines four is coming out. I 1463 01:04:47.719 --> 01:04:49.599 beat Snaky, but I can't talk about that for a 1464 01:04:49.639 --> 01:04:53.079 little bit. So I decided, like I've been wanting to 1465 01:04:53.199 --> 01:04:54.920 check out either Breath of the Wild or Tiers the 1466 01:04:54.960 --> 01:04:57.599 Kingdom since the Switch two came out, and I was 1467 01:04:57.639 --> 01:04:59.559 going back and forth forever, and I landed on Breath 1468 01:04:59.599 --> 01:05:02.159 the Wild. And now that I'm I'm playing it and 1469 01:05:02.320 --> 01:05:05.559 enjoying it more than I expected in the last few days. 1470 01:05:06.199 --> 01:05:08.760 I think I am confident now in my thought that 1471 01:05:08.880 --> 01:05:11.559 I do prefer this over Tiers of the Kingdom. And 1472 01:05:11.920 --> 01:05:14.199 I do think Tiers of the Kingdom is a incredible 1473 01:05:14.199 --> 01:05:15.599 like one of the best games of all time. I 1474 01:05:15.679 --> 01:05:18.480 think it has better abilities overall, like you know, the 1475 01:05:18.559 --> 01:05:20.800 ruins and stuff like that. But as I play Breath 1476 01:05:20.840 --> 01:05:23.119 of the Wild, I'm really appreciating kind of how focused 1477 01:05:23.159 --> 01:05:25.480 it is, because like Tiers the Kingdom, lets you do 1478 01:05:25.800 --> 01:05:28.519 a lot of stuff, but it also is stuff that 1479 01:05:28.599 --> 01:05:30.639 kind of slows things down, like it's a lot of 1480 01:05:30.679 --> 01:05:34.239 fiddling with stuff, you know, creating the things, going through menus, 1481 01:05:34.320 --> 01:05:37.039 attaching items to arrows, and like, there's so much you 1482 01:05:37.159 --> 01:05:40.519 can do. It's incredibly impressive. But the Breath of the Wild, 1483 01:05:40.519 --> 01:05:42.079 as I'm playing it, it is just kind of like 1484 01:05:42.199 --> 01:05:46.519 beautifully like simple is not the word, but it's just focused. 1485 01:05:46.599 --> 01:05:48.880 It's just like, Okay, I'm just like, you know, I'm 1486 01:05:48.880 --> 01:05:50.480 getting to the top of a new tower. I'm like, oh, 1487 01:05:50.559 --> 01:05:53.079 I see those shrines over there. Like it's like there's 1488 01:05:53.239 --> 01:05:55.880 less stuff you can do, but it does feel like 1489 01:05:55.960 --> 01:05:59.440 more of a kind of straightforward adventure. And I thought that, like, 1490 01:05:59.480 --> 01:06:01.000 because I play the shit out of it one hundred 1491 01:06:01.000 --> 01:06:03.000 percent of the Originally I thought that it would just 1492 01:06:03.000 --> 01:06:04.480 be like kind of retreading that and I wouldn't have 1493 01:06:04.480 --> 01:06:06.920 that sense of discovery. But it's such a big world 1494 01:06:07.000 --> 01:06:08.440 and there's so much shit in it that I am 1495 01:06:08.519 --> 01:06:11.920 finding that, like, oh, even my path here is different 1496 01:06:11.960 --> 01:06:13.920 than it was the first time, you know, Like I like, 1497 01:06:14.199 --> 01:06:16.599 as I'm just stumbling upon different parts of the world 1498 01:06:16.679 --> 01:06:19.079 and deciding what order to do things in, it is 1499 01:06:19.159 --> 01:06:21.320 feeling fresher than I expected it to be. 1500 01:06:21.400 --> 01:06:23.119 But I guess it's been eight years or so. 1501 01:06:23.320 --> 01:06:25.800 Yeah, it does the Seldon notes app work do anything 1502 01:06:25.840 --> 01:06:26.800 in Breadth of the Wild. 1503 01:06:27.159 --> 01:06:29.639 Yes, it does. So it doesn't do anything like obviously 1504 01:06:29.760 --> 01:06:31.800 like tiers. You can do the QR code like bringing 1505 01:06:31.840 --> 01:06:33.480 the constructions and stuff, but you can do all the 1506 01:06:33.559 --> 01:06:35.880 like GPS stuff, And I haven't really messed with it. 1507 01:06:35.920 --> 01:06:37.840 I've looked at the navigation map and it is cool. 1508 01:06:37.920 --> 01:06:39.599 You can kind of filter, like, oh, if I just 1509 01:06:39.679 --> 01:06:41.440 need to beat a high Knox or something, I can 1510 01:06:41.519 --> 01:06:43.159 just kind of tap that, or if I'm looking for 1511 01:06:43.280 --> 01:06:44.960 core ox seeds in the area, i can just you know, 1512 01:06:45.079 --> 01:06:45.840 pop all that up. 1513 01:06:45.719 --> 01:06:46.840 On that school. Yeah. 1514 01:06:47.159 --> 01:06:49.119 Yeah, I haven't done the like turn by turn direction 1515 01:06:49.239 --> 01:06:51.000 type stuff or anything yet. I'm kind of just doing 1516 01:06:51.079 --> 01:06:53.719 it in game like normal. But yeah, I've kind of 1517 01:06:53.719 --> 01:06:55.199 fiddled with it, and it does seem like a cool 1518 01:06:55.239 --> 01:06:55.880 little If there's the. 1519 01:06:55.920 --> 01:06:58.119 Zelda commentary stuff where she like talks about stuff in 1520 01:06:58.159 --> 01:06:58.599 the world, is that. 1521 01:06:58.639 --> 01:06:59.639 Just Tears the King, I bet it's. 1522 01:07:00.000 --> 01:07:01.960 I think it's it's got the like Zelda memories thing 1523 01:07:02.079 --> 01:07:04.559 or something. I don't really care about that. I remember 1524 01:07:04.800 --> 01:07:06.360 seeing it in Tears the gad to be like, all right, 1525 01:07:06.400 --> 01:07:07.400 that's this is so weird. 1526 01:07:07.519 --> 01:07:10.119 I have this director's commentary from a fictional character talking 1527 01:07:10.159 --> 01:07:11.119 about their cafabe. 1528 01:07:11.320 --> 01:07:15.039 It was just yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah. It's like 1529 01:07:15.079 --> 01:07:17.039 I'm not really using the notes app, but it is there. 1530 01:07:17.920 --> 01:07:19.599 There's like a weird like I don't understand the point 1531 01:07:19.599 --> 01:07:21.119 of this. It seems like there's like an item box 1532 01:07:21.199 --> 01:07:22.800 type thing where you can like put things in an 1533 01:07:22.840 --> 01:07:25.760 item box and retrieve it later or something, but I 1534 01:07:25.800 --> 01:07:27.199 don't know why I would need to do that. Like 1535 01:07:27.280 --> 01:07:28.840 most of the items you can just kind of have 1536 01:07:29.039 --> 01:07:32.039 infinite maybe weapons and stuff where you're more limited initially. 1537 01:07:32.519 --> 01:07:35.280 But no, it's all to say that, like I am 1538 01:07:35.360 --> 01:07:37.400 liking it a lot more than I expected. I thought 1539 01:07:37.400 --> 01:07:38.679 I might just mess around with it for a little 1540 01:07:38.679 --> 01:07:41.000 bit to see how you know runs on switch to which, 1541 01:07:41.039 --> 01:07:43.280 by the way, it is, Oh my god, it runs 1542 01:07:43.280 --> 01:07:43.679 so much better. 1543 01:07:43.679 --> 01:07:44.719 I'm playing one hundred inch. 1544 01:07:45.039 --> 01:07:48.280 So like the fucking resolution boost and the fucking frame 1545 01:07:48.400 --> 01:07:50.920 rate and like that game is beautiful on a big 1546 01:07:51.000 --> 01:07:54.119 ass screen. I am loving it, loving it so like, yeah, 1547 01:07:54.159 --> 01:07:57.760 I'm more into it than I thought. Second, yeah, I 1548 01:07:57.880 --> 01:07:58.920 was like, you're. 1549 01:07:58.760 --> 01:08:01.079 Definitely among friends here, Dan, because me and Grubb have 1550 01:08:01.119 --> 01:08:04.000 always felt this way where Breatha Wild, it's kind of 1551 01:08:04.119 --> 01:08:06.800 more of a focused puzzle game in a lot of ways, 1552 01:08:06.840 --> 01:08:09.360 whereas Tears of the Kingdom is that more like free 1553 01:08:09.559 --> 01:08:11.199 open minecrafty. 1554 01:08:10.800 --> 01:08:14.400 Sandbox, a little bit like a toy you can FID like. 1555 01:08:14.519 --> 01:08:17.159 Both are very very good, and it's more it's just 1556 01:08:17.239 --> 01:08:19.560 a preference thing. I don't think one invalidates the other. 1557 01:08:19.960 --> 01:08:21.760 I like going back to Breath of Wild, which I 1558 01:08:21.800 --> 01:08:24.039 have done a couple of times, just because I do 1559 01:08:24.439 --> 01:08:27.640 like solving the shrines with constraints. I think it they 1560 01:08:27.720 --> 01:08:31.319 were very smart about that. I always think about I 1561 01:08:31.680 --> 01:08:33.840 brought it up before, but listening to Nintendo Voice Chat 1562 01:08:33.920 --> 01:08:36.439 back in the day and hearing Jose talk about how 1563 01:08:37.199 --> 01:08:40.319 he thought, wait, there's an electricity puzzle and you're supposed 1564 01:08:40.319 --> 01:08:42.840 to move metal blocks, but I have a ton of 1565 01:08:42.920 --> 01:08:45.399 Clay moares in my inventory. Well, if I just line 1566 01:08:45.479 --> 01:08:48.640 these suckers up and it works. I think that type 1567 01:08:48.680 --> 01:08:51.880 of revelation is still so much fun in Breatha Wild, 1568 01:08:51.920 --> 01:08:54.640 whereas Tears you can you can really like cheessee the 1569 01:08:54.720 --> 01:08:58.319 system allaways, which is certainly fun. I just prefer the 1570 01:08:58.399 --> 01:09:00.520 constraints that they were working with Breath the Wild. 1571 01:09:01.399 --> 01:09:02.359 YEP totally agreed. 1572 01:09:02.439 --> 01:09:04.640 So yeah, you know, not no shade on Tiers the 1573 01:09:04.720 --> 01:09:05.920 Kingdom one of the best games of all time. But 1574 01:09:06.000 --> 01:09:08.760 like I think I definitively now think I prefer Breath 1575 01:09:08.840 --> 01:09:09.119 the Wild. 1576 01:09:09.319 --> 01:09:11.600 Yep, yep, that's where I've been in Tiers of the Kingdom. 1577 01:09:11.680 --> 01:09:13.760 I has a better like story. 1578 01:09:13.840 --> 01:09:17.600 And like, oh an ending is incredible and like thee 1579 01:09:18.199 --> 01:09:20.399 better than the Divine Beasts, for sure, I'll give that. 1580 01:09:20.520 --> 01:09:22.439 Yeah, and ever in the way the Breath of Wild 1581 01:09:22.520 --> 01:09:24.760 doesn't so like that, But but I still prefer Breath 1582 01:09:24.760 --> 01:09:25.079 with the Wild. 1583 01:09:25.119 --> 01:09:26.359 Yeah, yeah, And I think when it came out, I 1584 01:09:26.399 --> 01:09:28.000 think I did say, like, oh, if you're playing for 1585 01:09:28.079 --> 01:09:30.000 the first time, you know, this does everything Breath the 1586 01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:32.479 Wild did, and more and better. It's like, but more 1587 01:09:32.600 --> 01:09:34.680 isn't necessarily better now, so I am kind of like 1588 01:09:34.920 --> 01:09:35.600 backtracking a bit. 1589 01:09:35.680 --> 01:09:37.880 It's better because we still have Breath of the Wild, right, Like, 1590 01:09:38.000 --> 01:09:40.239 this is what Tears of the Kingdom should have been. 1591 01:09:40.600 --> 01:09:42.760 It should not have tried to like recreate the exact 1592 01:09:42.840 --> 01:09:44.800 magic magic of Breath the Wild. It should do its 1593 01:09:44.800 --> 01:09:45.640 own thing, and it did. 1594 01:09:46.159 --> 01:09:48.479 It's just this can exist because I already have Breath 1595 01:09:48.479 --> 01:09:49.960 with the Wild, and I don't need them to necessarily 1596 01:09:50.039 --> 01:09:51.000 do that exactly again. 1597 01:09:51.079 --> 01:09:52.800 So it's kind of this awesome best of both. 1598 01:09:52.680 --> 01:09:55.680 Worlds, a survival game versus an open world sandbox in 1599 01:09:55.760 --> 01:09:57.279 traditional sense, I like both. 1600 01:09:57.439 --> 01:10:00.079 Yeah, I think I might still be teamed to is 1601 01:10:00.079 --> 01:10:01.319 the King now, I don't know, it's very close. 1602 01:10:01.359 --> 01:10:03.920 I'm with you. I think for me, it's the story 1603 01:10:03.960 --> 01:10:04.720 that edges it over. 1604 01:10:06.119 --> 01:10:07.720 And here's just I think there's just like really good 1605 01:10:07.760 --> 01:10:10.039 at like giving you fun stuff to do. And if 1606 01:10:10.039 --> 01:10:11.720 you're like trying to find the fun stuff, here's the 1607 01:10:11.800 --> 01:10:14.800 King's gonna throw that in your game. It's a great geology, yep. 1608 01:10:15.279 --> 01:10:17.239 And I'm just I'm seeing all these little moments that 1609 01:10:17.239 --> 01:10:18.560 I remember. It's like, oh, I'm just trying to like 1610 01:10:18.680 --> 01:10:21.680 sneak by like a Bocabblin camp and a tree and 1611 01:10:22.479 --> 01:10:24.239 they see me and I'm like, oh ship. But then 1612 01:10:24.359 --> 01:10:26.520 one of them fucking throws an exploding barrel in the 1613 01:10:26.560 --> 01:10:29.600 wrong way, and I just see like four flaming Bocobblin 1614 01:10:29.760 --> 01:10:32.600 corpses flying over a hill and it's so funny. And 1615 01:10:32.680 --> 01:10:34.359 it's just even like big things like that happen now 1616 01:10:34.399 --> 01:10:36.279 it's like perfect frame rate and everything. It's just like, oh, 1617 01:10:36.399 --> 01:10:37.880 this is actually that. 1618 01:10:38.079 --> 01:10:39.880 Was supposed to be a weak game. 1619 01:10:39.920 --> 01:10:46.119 Right, Yeah, it like it's some soyp doesn't maintain the 1620 01:10:46.159 --> 01:10:47.439 frame weight, but it works. 1621 01:10:47.560 --> 01:10:49.439 Yeah wow yep. 1622 01:10:50.199 --> 01:10:54.439 Moving on to some newer games, Dan and Grub you 1623 01:10:54.560 --> 01:10:57.319 two have been checking out Ninja Guiddn't Rage Bound. 1624 01:10:58.520 --> 01:11:00.000 Dan, I talked about this a little bit last week's 1625 01:11:00.039 --> 01:11:01.399 I'm curious to hear your opinion on it. 1626 01:11:02.279 --> 01:11:05.640 Yeah, I'm a I'm on like act four, so I'm 1627 01:11:05.680 --> 01:11:07.399 not sure where you're at around there. 1628 01:11:07.399 --> 01:11:08.600 I'm thinking about the end of Act four. 1629 01:11:08.640 --> 01:11:11.119 Yeah, yeah, I think it's it's very, very good. 1630 01:11:11.239 --> 01:11:15.119 I'm surprised by how much it is not playing on nostalgia, 1631 01:11:15.199 --> 01:11:16.800 I guess because like at times it reminds me more 1632 01:11:16.800 --> 01:11:19.199 of like a Strider than Yeah, doesn't have to go back. 1633 01:11:19.479 --> 01:11:21.239 It's got the music and everything. It's got a few 1634 01:11:21.279 --> 01:11:22.720 of the callback weapons and things like. 1635 01:11:22.760 --> 01:11:25.199 That, and it's not like the music isn't isn't exactly 1636 01:11:25.319 --> 01:11:25.680 the same. 1637 01:11:26.039 --> 01:11:29.239 Yeah, it's more like in between the like that type, 1638 01:11:29.279 --> 01:11:30.479 like in between levels. 1639 01:11:30.359 --> 01:11:32.199 Like that, right, and it's like it's familiar, but it's 1640 01:11:32.239 --> 01:11:34.359 not the exactly doesn't sound exactly the same. So I'm 1641 01:11:34.359 --> 01:11:36.239 almost it's not even playing on nostalgia. In all the 1642 01:11:36.279 --> 01:11:36.880 ways it could be. 1643 01:11:37.039 --> 01:11:39.399 It's funny in the quick look when the second that 1644 01:11:39.520 --> 01:11:41.560 Jeff says, yeah, the music's not that great. This like 1645 01:11:41.760 --> 01:11:43.359 sick guitar riff starts. 1646 01:11:45.640 --> 01:11:49.199 Idiots like a lot of like throwbacks to like you 1647 01:11:49.239 --> 01:11:50.640 know when you talk about like the make a man nine, 1648 01:11:50.720 --> 01:11:52.439 make a man ten type approach of like this is 1649 01:11:52.640 --> 01:11:53.680 just like the ones you remember. 1650 01:11:54.039 --> 01:11:56.119 This does not look anything like in any s game. 1651 01:11:56.199 --> 01:11:58.399 It looks like, you know, if you made badass you know, 1652 01:11:58.520 --> 01:12:01.319 two D sprite based games on like if the PlayStation 1653 01:12:01.399 --> 01:12:04.279 in Saturday and saturdayay, you know, yeah, and it looks 1654 01:12:04.399 --> 01:12:06.479 fucking gorgeous. Like that's it kind of fixes all this 1655 01:12:06.520 --> 01:12:10.279 stuff about like blasphemous. I enjoyed the art style a lot. 1656 01:12:10.359 --> 01:12:12.319 I thought it was gorgeous, but like I'm not big 1657 01:12:12.560 --> 01:12:15.039 on the like kind of Perry from type stuff all 1658 01:12:15.119 --> 01:12:17.840 the time, and I didn't necessarily want that in that game. Here, 1659 01:12:17.920 --> 01:12:21.159 it's like, okay, fast paced, challenging any style action game 1660 01:12:21.520 --> 01:12:23.800 with that incredible like you know, sprite graphics and stuff. 1661 01:12:23.880 --> 01:12:25.880 So and then you got the messenger stuff where you're 1662 01:12:25.960 --> 01:12:28.640 kind of do the guillotine booze hopping off projectiles and stuff. 1663 01:12:28.680 --> 01:12:28.840 Like that. 1664 01:12:29.079 --> 01:12:31.600 It's a very very cool. So I am enjoy it 1665 01:12:31.680 --> 01:12:35.199 quite a bit. I will probably finish it, I think, Greb, 1666 01:12:35.199 --> 01:12:35.520 how are you. 1667 01:12:35.520 --> 01:12:38.279 Feeling, Yeah, I'm I'm good to finish it. Yeah, I'm 1668 01:12:38.439 --> 01:12:42.119 I was like I had the X four Boss last night, 1669 01:12:42.479 --> 01:12:44.800 the last one of that. It was pretty tough, like 1670 01:12:45.039 --> 01:12:47.479 probably like five tries and most are like in the 1671 01:12:47.840 --> 01:12:49.920 two to three range, and so it's like, okay, yeah, 1672 01:12:49.960 --> 01:12:52.439 this one, I'm really gonna have to like buck down 1673 01:12:52.479 --> 01:12:54.800 here and like really figure out its patterns and that 1674 01:12:55.079 --> 01:12:57.439 is that still continues to be so fun every time 1675 01:12:57.479 --> 01:12:58.960 I do it, and I'm like, oh, I kind of 1676 01:12:58.960 --> 01:13:01.399 can't wait to see the next. So that's where I'm 1677 01:13:01.439 --> 01:13:03.159 at with the game right now, where it's like it's 1678 01:13:03.199 --> 01:13:05.079 got me and it's it's grasp with just the way 1679 01:13:05.079 --> 01:13:08.239 it's presenting itself. And then you know, the levels are long, 1680 01:13:09.119 --> 01:13:11.239 and yet it's like usually that bothers me. I'm like, 1681 01:13:11.319 --> 01:13:13.239 come on, get in there, get in get out it. 1682 01:13:13.359 --> 01:13:15.359 Brevity's the soul of wit and all that stuff, and 1683 01:13:15.479 --> 01:13:18.119 it's like, no, these levels have a good pacing to them, 1684 01:13:18.159 --> 01:13:21.560 even despite being I don't know, twenty minutes long sometimes, 1685 01:13:22.279 --> 01:13:24.319 which is a long time for a two D running 1686 01:13:24.319 --> 01:13:27.399 gun run and slash platformer. But yeah, they do a 1687 01:13:27.479 --> 01:13:29.119 good job of like having a lot of different things 1688 01:13:29.159 --> 01:13:30.600 in there. There was a train level that I thought 1689 01:13:30.720 --> 01:13:34.359 was just so good. They really made that feel level 1690 01:13:34.439 --> 01:13:36.600 and I'm playing, I'm like, I tell Mike about this, 1691 01:13:36.720 --> 01:13:38.680 I bet he'll be into it. And it's like it's 1692 01:13:38.760 --> 01:13:41.159 not just there for the setting or the look, like 1693 01:13:41.279 --> 01:13:43.039 plays into the style of play, but not in a 1694 01:13:43.079 --> 01:13:45.680 way that's annoying the way some like moving levels can be. 1695 01:13:46.199 --> 01:13:48.600 It's just I don't know, they made everything fun and 1696 01:13:48.720 --> 01:13:51.680 made everything at the right level of challenge so that 1697 01:13:51.720 --> 01:13:53.760 I always feel like I'm accomplishing something and then I 1698 01:13:53.800 --> 01:13:55.920 look cool the entire time i'm doing it. So yeah, 1699 01:13:56.039 --> 01:13:57.359 just still super into Rage Bound. 1700 01:13:57.720 --> 01:14:01.600 Also, I think it's maybe the first game after many, 1701 01:14:01.680 --> 01:14:04.560 many many years of CRT filters or I've gone back 1702 01:14:04.560 --> 01:14:05.960 and forth a bunch of times and then been like, no, 1703 01:14:06.119 --> 01:14:07.840 I think the CRT filter makes us look better. 1704 01:14:08.319 --> 01:14:13.760 ERRQ filters are improving like constantly and there is good Yeah, 1705 01:14:14.159 --> 01:14:16.119 and the Ninja guid in one is good too, So 1706 01:14:16.319 --> 01:14:18.720 like the people are looking at these studios now understand 1707 01:14:18.800 --> 01:14:20.840 that there's people that they probably hire that, like, get 1708 01:14:20.920 --> 01:14:21.600 these things right. 1709 01:14:21.920 --> 01:14:24.159 You can't just learn labot damn lines on and call 1710 01:14:24.199 --> 01:14:26.039 it day you got. You gotta go a little bit further, 1711 01:14:26.119 --> 01:14:27.319 and they're getting better at doing that. 1712 01:14:28.000 --> 01:14:29.920 It's hard to like show it off because it never 1713 01:14:29.960 --> 01:14:32.359 looks right on strings and people never gonna believe until 1714 01:14:32.359 --> 01:14:33.119 they see themselves. 1715 01:14:33.640 --> 01:14:36.039 You did bring up challenge. I'm curious. Did you have 1716 01:14:36.119 --> 01:14:37.880 a chance to play hard mode at all yet? 1717 01:14:38.680 --> 01:14:39.119 No, I've not. 1718 01:14:39.279 --> 01:14:41.880 Okay, so on the standard, I've still only played the 1719 01:14:42.079 --> 01:14:44.680 demo because I haven't I haven't gone around to the 1720 01:14:44.720 --> 01:14:46.439 full game. I picked it up, but I've been playing 1721 01:14:46.479 --> 01:14:49.159 so much Donkey Kong. But when the demo came out, 1722 01:14:49.439 --> 01:14:53.199 I replayed the demo on hard mode because it has 1723 01:14:53.239 --> 01:14:56.800 a really cool hard mode where they genuinely like add 1724 01:14:57.279 --> 01:15:00.800 unique enemies and enemy patterns and actually make you think 1725 01:15:00.800 --> 01:15:03.520 about the level a bit differently and getting around the 1726 01:15:03.680 --> 01:15:06.640 enemies a different way, which I appreciate so much more 1727 01:15:06.720 --> 01:15:09.920 than so many games, just you know, adding extra health, deal, 1728 01:15:10.039 --> 01:15:12.760 extra damage and stuff. At least from the demo, it 1729 01:15:12.880 --> 01:15:15.199 seemed like they were really putting thought into the hard mode, 1730 01:15:15.239 --> 01:15:17.760 which I think for something like Ninja Guiden goes a 1731 01:15:17.800 --> 01:15:20.239 long way, because people playing that kind of game want 1732 01:15:20.319 --> 01:15:21.199 that challenge, you know. 1733 01:15:22.119 --> 01:15:23.560 Yeah, And you could kind of see how it would 1734 01:15:23.560 --> 01:15:26.000 make a lot of sense with the way that they 1735 01:15:26.119 --> 01:15:29.880 do the hyper charge attack, where it's like a little 1736 01:15:29.880 --> 01:15:32.039 bit of a puzzle in every encounter and you got 1737 01:15:32.119 --> 01:15:33.680 to make sure you like, oh, the one back there's 1738 01:15:33.680 --> 01:15:35.800 got the energy inside them. If I slash him, I'll 1739 01:15:35.800 --> 01:15:37.760 be able to get the big sword attack, so I 1740 01:15:37.800 --> 01:15:39.920 could take out the big enemy in one hit, right, 1741 01:15:40.039 --> 01:15:41.960 and just kind of always being able to think about that. 1742 01:15:42.000 --> 01:15:44.000 It's like if they could just add one more layer 1743 01:15:44.039 --> 01:15:45.800 of complication on top of that, that would be a 1744 01:15:45.840 --> 01:15:47.560 good heart. Yeah, and that's what they do. 1745 01:15:47.600 --> 01:15:49.359 It's kind of like what Donkey Kong Country, having the 1746 01:15:49.439 --> 01:15:51.640 Kremlins be the green guys by default and as what 1747 01:15:51.760 --> 01:15:53.680 the red guys are more difficult ones. They kind of 1748 01:15:53.720 --> 01:15:55.800 do something like that where they just like make get 1749 01:15:55.840 --> 01:15:57.560 co version of the enemy. It's pretty neat. 1750 01:15:59.039 --> 01:16:00.640 Six six sick uh. 1751 01:16:01.279 --> 01:16:06.439 Going from Ninja Guided Rage Bound to well back to 1752 01:16:06.560 --> 01:16:09.960 Mike's tour of older games Control. 1753 01:16:10.880 --> 01:16:14.520 Yes, this is the twenty nineteen apology tour continued.

I like that a lot. 1771 01:17:22.319 --> 01:17:25.399 That just like even I know it's kind of more 1772 01:17:25.399 --> 01:17:27.960 about the setting and the the kind of weirdness, but 1773 01:17:28.359 --> 01:17:30.119 just that mechanics feel really good. 1774 01:17:30.199 --> 01:17:31.439 It's really nice shooting. 1775 01:17:31.520 --> 01:17:34.039 I love the way that that gun looks, the way 1776 01:17:34.039 --> 01:17:38.159 it's always kind of shifting around and looking weird. The 1777 01:17:38.279 --> 01:17:40.720 Metroy Vigne aspects of it of getting these new powers 1778 01:17:40.800 --> 01:17:41.399 and abilities. 1779 01:17:41.439 --> 01:17:41.840 Its cool. 1780 01:17:42.560 --> 01:17:45.239 Back in the day, I did bounce off it because 1781 01:17:45.239 --> 01:17:50.840 I actually didn't love the kind of Twilight zoniness of 1782 01:17:51.119 --> 01:17:51.520 all of it. 1783 01:17:51.640 --> 01:17:52.720 I think I'm a bit more hear. 1784 01:17:53.319 --> 01:17:55.039 Yeah, I'm like, I'm not a big like Twin Peaks 1785 01:17:55.119 --> 01:17:57.880 or guy. I think I'm more receptive to that now. 1786 01:17:57.920 --> 01:18:00.359 I think at the time I was kind of like, well, 1787 01:18:00.680 --> 01:18:02.880 if anything can happen, I guess you can just do anything. 1788 01:18:03.159 --> 01:18:05.199 And that's a little lazy and lame. And now I'm like, 1789 01:18:05.319 --> 01:18:07.720 I guess that's also kind of fun. So I'm just 1790 01:18:07.800 --> 01:18:10.800 trying to open up my heart to that stuff a 1791 01:18:10.920 --> 01:18:12.359 bit more and I am enjoying it. 1792 01:18:13.680 --> 01:18:16.000 Was that a criticism of the entirety of fiction. 1793 01:18:19.439 --> 01:18:22.640 I was like, I think I do like my fiction 1794 01:18:22.840 --> 01:18:25.119 and even my like kind of more fantasy stuff to 1795 01:18:25.720 --> 01:18:28.520 kind of have a code of rules, right, there should 1796 01:18:28.520 --> 01:18:31.920 be a logic to its. Right, It's some of that 1797 01:18:32.039 --> 01:18:35.239 lore stuff, and you know, in control, it's like, ah, 1798 01:18:35.359 --> 01:18:40.399 it's shit's weird and yeah, but there's rules that you'll 1799 01:18:40.479 --> 01:18:41.399 learn to it like it. 1800 01:18:41.760 --> 01:18:43.439 Yeah, so it gets there. Yeah. 1801 01:18:43.640 --> 01:18:46.600 I think that's why FBC Firebreak was a little bit disappointing. 1802 01:18:46.600 --> 01:18:49.560 To me, because like, this is certain the control universe. 1803 01:18:49.960 --> 01:18:52.159 But it was just kind of it felt like it 1804 01:18:52.239 --> 01:18:54.560 was being weird for the sake of being weird, rather 1805 01:18:54.680 --> 01:18:58.199 than like, oh, this ties into a bigger thing that 1806 01:18:58.279 --> 01:19:00.000 we're trying to keep under control. 1807 01:18:59.760 --> 01:19:02.239 And this is all yeah, funky, and I think that's 1808 01:19:02.279 --> 01:19:04.319 like that was the stick up my ass the first time. 1809 01:19:04.319 --> 01:19:05.920 I was like, I think this game is just being weird, 1810 01:19:06.000 --> 01:19:07.760 and now I'm like, yeah, I don't know why. I 1811 01:19:07.920 --> 01:19:12.600 was like that, it's weird and interesting and fun. Ways, 1812 01:19:13.000 --> 01:19:14.600 every time I found out what a new object of 1813 01:19:14.680 --> 01:19:18.319 power was, I was like, hell, yeah, yes, you know me. 1814 01:19:18.520 --> 01:19:18.840 You know me. 1815 01:19:18.960 --> 01:19:21.319 Though, I'm like, look at all these dead people. That's sad. 1816 01:19:22.239 --> 01:19:25.479 It's just like ifice workers, like corpses, like hanging up 1817 01:19:25.520 --> 01:19:27.640 in this and I'm like, well, no one seems even 1818 01:19:27.760 --> 01:19:28.640 very bothered by this. 1819 01:19:28.760 --> 01:19:29.800 This is kind of sad. 1820 01:19:29.920 --> 01:19:33.039 I don't know, you have too much empathy, Mike Monadic. 1821 01:19:32.840 --> 01:19:36.119 Too much empathy for vegan characters who don't have real souls. 1822 01:19:36.680 --> 01:19:38.800 But yeah, I'm having a very good time with the game. 1823 01:19:38.840 --> 01:19:42.359 It's like pretty breezy to play through. Uh, it does 1824 01:19:42.479 --> 01:19:44.800 have very good collectibles and things to read. I don't 1825 01:19:44.880 --> 01:19:47.159 dive super deep in that stuff, but I like it 1826 01:19:47.600 --> 01:19:49.720 in the weird TV stuff. Remedy is so good at that. 1827 01:19:50.479 --> 01:19:53.840 There's like those weird scary puppets which I will remind 1828 01:19:53.880 --> 01:19:55.720 me of their name, but I love whenever I see 1829 01:19:55.760 --> 01:19:57.039 those guys in There's Waldorf. 1830 01:19:57.239 --> 01:19:58.520 Yeah, so Sard Waldorf. 1831 01:19:58.840 --> 01:20:01.399 There's the kind of like science guy who haven't actually 1832 01:20:01.439 --> 01:20:03.199 met yet in all of his little videos. And the 1833 01:20:03.279 --> 01:20:07.960 Threshold Kids. Threshold Kids, that's the puppets. Yeah, the setting, 1834 01:20:08.720 --> 01:20:13.039 gay play, it's all very good stuff. I am enjoying it. 1835 01:20:13.439 --> 01:20:15.640 And you know Audie Audi Audi's a bro. 1836 01:20:15.760 --> 01:20:17.800 We love Audie, Yeah, we do. Yeah. 1837 01:20:18.239 --> 01:20:21.079 I never speak about DLC again. I never checked out 1838 01:20:21.119 --> 01:20:25.800 the dl C for Control. Yeah, it's supposed to be good. 1839 01:20:25.800 --> 01:20:27.319 I know Alan Wake shows up in one of them 1840 01:20:27.399 --> 01:20:29.680 rights and it was kind of like a he has 1841 01:20:29.720 --> 01:20:32.479 like the teaser for Allen Wake two. So that's interesting. 1842 01:20:32.479 --> 01:20:34.520 I've done the way to DALC either. Not much of 1843 01:20:34.560 --> 01:20:36.840 a DLC guy. That's why one thing we're like playing 1844 01:20:36.880 --> 01:20:39.800 this and Outer Wilds. It's like, you know, people are 1845 01:20:39.800 --> 01:20:41.359 always like, you know what I mean, you gotta play 1846 01:20:41.359 --> 01:20:41.840 the d l C. 1847 01:20:42.439 --> 01:20:44.600 I could. I kind of like, look, I'll play it 1848 01:20:44.600 --> 01:20:47.000 if I want to you leave me alone. I'm with you. 1849 01:20:47.119 --> 01:20:48.319 I don't really do deal do it. 1850 01:20:48.359 --> 01:20:49.600 I very rarely do it. 1851 01:20:49.760 --> 01:20:51.560 It's you know, like Broad the Wild and every. 1852 01:20:53.000 --> 01:20:56.479 Keep the motorcyclescle I never did this pretty soon. 1853 01:20:58.039 --> 01:21:00.439 The Motorcycle and Preth of the Wild. It's a few 1854 01:21:00.479 --> 01:21:09.119 degrees away from Losso random Fuddy Douddy mechanical elephant. That's cool. Motorcycle. 1855 01:21:09.239 --> 01:21:15.000 Yeah, lame speaking about people with no souls. Mike Manatti, 1856 01:21:15.079 --> 01:21:16.479 you have also been playing. 1857 01:21:16.319 --> 01:21:19.279 Heretic, Heretic and Hexa. 1858 01:21:19.359 --> 01:21:22.000 This is the new night Dive remaster joint that they 1859 01:21:22.199 --> 01:21:26.000 announced at Quake Con. I have loved what they are 1860 01:21:26.079 --> 01:21:28.960 doing with all of these classic shooters. That's why I 1861 01:21:28.960 --> 01:21:32.720 ago I played through their Doom one and two remasters 1862 01:21:32.760 --> 01:21:34.880 that they did, I believe last year. I've gone on 1863 01:21:35.000 --> 01:21:39.279 about how amazing I think Power Slave Exhoomed is. Heretic 1864 01:21:39.439 --> 01:21:42.560 was kind of like the first Great Doom Clown. It's 1865 01:21:42.600 --> 01:21:45.439 basically just Doom, but with more of a medieval kind 1866 01:21:45.479 --> 01:21:47.960 of fantasy section setting, but like a dark fantasy. It's 1867 01:21:48.000 --> 01:21:51.800 not that removed from what Doom is doing, honestly, but 1868 01:21:51.960 --> 01:21:56.880 it definitely has a bit more of that dirty fantasy flavor. 1869 01:21:57.560 --> 01:21:59.239 But you know, ste have a shotgun, you have like 1870 01:21:59.479 --> 01:22:02.159 a cross and it shoots like a bunch of green 1871 01:22:02.439 --> 01:22:05.640 arrows out. And you even have an inventory of items 1872 01:22:05.680 --> 01:22:07.840 that you can select from to restore health or buff 1873 01:22:07.880 --> 01:22:10.760 all your weapons or make you invulnerable for a little bit. 1874 01:22:11.119 --> 01:22:14.439 So Heretic is just a really fun, mild twist on 1875 01:22:14.720 --> 01:22:16.960 Doom and somebody who's really been enjoying playing those old 1876 01:22:17.000 --> 01:22:20.520 school shooters, that's great. Hexan is interesting even today. It's 1877 01:22:20.600 --> 01:22:22.600 just a little bit later, and it has so much 1878 01:22:22.640 --> 01:22:26.199 of the bones of Heretic in it, but there's kind 1879 01:22:26.239 --> 01:22:26.680 of a lot. 1880 01:22:26.560 --> 01:22:28.000 More going on. You switch. 1881 01:22:28.039 --> 01:22:30.920 You can choose between three different characters that have access 1882 01:22:30.960 --> 01:22:33.560 to different weapons here, just like the Fighter, they're doing 1883 01:22:33.600 --> 01:22:36.119 a lot of melee stuff. The Mage and they have 1884 01:22:36.199 --> 01:22:38.399 a lot more magic and range things, and the Cleric 1885 01:22:38.560 --> 01:22:41.600 is sort of in between there. Even the level structure 1886 01:22:41.640 --> 01:22:44.319 is different. It's not just episodes and levels. There's kind 1887 01:22:44.359 --> 01:22:47.840 of hub worlds and things like that. The presentations even 1888 01:22:47.920 --> 01:22:50.840 kicked up a not there's a CG intro to Hexan, right, 1889 01:22:50.880 --> 01:22:53.840 oh yeah, And they also had some neat stuff in 1890 01:22:53.960 --> 01:22:56.680 this collection, like all the quality of life stuff. Sure, 1891 01:22:56.840 --> 01:22:58.920 but like in Hexan, I don't think this is an 1892 01:22:58.960 --> 01:23:01.920 original game. You can switch between characters a certain kind 1893 01:23:01.960 --> 01:23:04.239 of podiums in the levels, whereas before you kind of 1894 01:23:04.279 --> 01:23:04.960 picked one, I think you. 1895 01:23:05.000 --> 01:23:05.600 Were stuck with it. 1896 01:23:06.119 --> 01:23:09.359 The map DK sixty four, like DK sixty. 1897 01:23:09.039 --> 01:23:12.920 Four likes just getting ready, like the in game map 1898 01:23:12.960 --> 01:23:15.319 will like have like markers on to kind of show you, 1899 01:23:15.399 --> 01:23:17.079 I guess where you should go, because sometimes it's a 1900 01:23:17.079 --> 01:23:19.239 little up to use before things like that. 1901 01:23:19.359 --> 01:23:20.920 So I've been just checking out all the old content 1902 01:23:20.960 --> 01:23:23.399 because there are also some new levels added in here 1903 01:23:23.439 --> 01:23:25.199 from Night five that then they always do that sort 1904 01:23:25.239 --> 01:23:28.600 of stuff. I think that's fantastic as well. But yeah, 1905 01:23:28.760 --> 01:23:31.720 just another great one of these. I've been playing it 1906 01:23:31.800 --> 01:23:34.239 on my switch to it's a fantastic way to play 1907 01:23:34.960 --> 01:23:37.520 these were I'm pretty sure both of them were originally 1908 01:23:37.640 --> 01:23:39.159 not vertical look up and down. 1909 01:23:39.239 --> 01:23:40.439 You can do that in these. 1910 01:23:40.840 --> 01:23:43.800 Yes, it's the Doom one Doom two style of thing, 1911 01:23:44.159 --> 01:23:46.159 so you don't really need mouse a keyboard to be 1912 01:23:46.359 --> 01:23:49.640 super efficient in this. So yeah, I actually it feels good. 1913 01:23:49.720 --> 01:23:51.720 I was I played some Heritic with mouse and keyboard 1914 01:23:51.760 --> 01:23:55.680 and I was like, this still just feels so good. Honestly, 1915 01:23:55.760 --> 01:23:58.640 it feels better now Night Dive. Night Dive does great work, 1916 01:23:58.880 --> 01:24:00.720 and every time they do any thing, I'm just going 1917 01:24:00.800 --> 01:24:01.760 to be all over that. 1918 01:24:01.960 --> 01:24:04.199 For sure. I know, I know this is but that's 1919 01:24:04.239 --> 01:24:05.920 the Microsoft, But I think about it as like a 1920 01:24:06.000 --> 01:24:08.279 night Dive game, and you know Microsoft BDS movement. 1921 01:24:08.319 --> 01:24:11.079 They're complicit in that, of course, but boy, it's like 1922 01:24:11.239 --> 01:24:14.720 I can't help but be excited about anything Night Dive touches. Yeah, 1923 01:24:14.960 --> 01:24:17.399 they touched more things. I want to see them get 1924 01:24:17.439 --> 01:24:18.840 on even more Raven games. 1925 01:24:18.880 --> 01:24:21.920 This is Raven. Raby did so many other good games 1926 01:24:21.960 --> 01:24:26.560 with Cast and start. Star Trek E. Lead Force is 1927 01:24:26.640 --> 01:24:28.720 my dream one. I love Star Trek A Lead Force, 1928 01:24:28.800 --> 01:24:30.079 So I pop off. 1929 01:24:31.000 --> 01:24:33.159 Raven top five Wisconsin based development. 1930 01:24:34.159 --> 01:24:37.920 Yeah yeah, okay, but yeah, I'm familiar with, like the 1931 01:24:38.359 --> 01:24:41.680 societal blowback from Doom when that came out, just hearing 1932 01:24:41.800 --> 01:24:44.840 that after Will while I was growing up, did Harotick 1933 01:24:44.880 --> 01:24:48.359 and Hexton? Did that have anything like me? Mix? 1934 01:24:48.439 --> 01:24:50.680 The Doom was so much bigger though it was due 1935 01:24:50.720 --> 01:24:53.279 Doom already had it, and then Columbine and the like 1936 01:24:53.399 --> 01:24:56.319 media misreporting like blew that stuff out of proportion, specifically 1937 01:24:56.399 --> 01:24:56.920 for Doom. 1938 01:24:57.199 --> 01:25:00.920 Okay, yeah, and tast gang. 1939 01:25:01.640 --> 01:25:04.680 You know, I'm going to talk about this earlier when 1940 01:25:04.760 --> 01:25:09.199 Sean was talking about Vegas, but I've been playing another 1941 01:25:09.319 --> 01:25:11.520 game as Thankfully it's. 1942 01:25:11.479 --> 01:25:11.880 Just a demo. 1943 01:25:12.000 --> 01:25:14.319 But last time I got really invested in a demo 1944 01:25:14.920 --> 01:25:17.319 and put like maybe twenty plus hours, it turned out 1945 01:25:17.479 --> 01:25:19.479 turned into Bolotron. 1946 01:25:19.520 --> 01:25:20.760 Add to my fantasy critic. 1947 01:25:21.520 --> 01:25:22.399 Oh you son of a bitch. 1948 01:25:22.399 --> 01:25:23.199 I've been checking that. 1949 01:25:25.680 --> 01:25:26.439 How can we check it? 1950 01:25:26.840 --> 01:25:28.880 I think the league is done this year because we 1951 01:25:28.920 --> 01:25:30.880 have two players that can't participate. 1952 01:25:30.600 --> 01:25:30.680 So. 1953 01:25:32.800 --> 01:25:34.560 Sometimes Metroi's not coming out. 1954 01:25:34.680 --> 01:25:39.520 So but Dice a million. There is a demo for 1955 01:25:39.640 --> 01:25:43.199 this now, and I think I talked about this very 1956 01:25:43.279 --> 01:25:46.119 briefly on Game This Mornings. But if there's any game 1957 01:25:46.159 --> 01:25:48.840 that has pulled stuff from Bollatro, it is this game 1958 01:25:48.960 --> 01:25:53.119 because it has the warbly background that Blotro has, like 1959 01:25:53.159 --> 01:25:53.880 the title menu. 1960 01:25:54.199 --> 01:25:54.880 I like Warbly. 1961 01:25:55.640 --> 01:25:59.560 But your general goal is to get to a certain 1962 01:25:59.600 --> 01:26:03.840 amount in a certain number of dice rolls. So let's 1963 01:26:03.840 --> 01:26:07.880 say you have to get to the number forty given 1964 01:26:08.800 --> 01:26:11.319 and you're using five dice and you have three rolls 1965 01:26:11.359 --> 01:26:15.119 to get there, and of course, in Bolotro fashion, you're 1966 01:26:15.680 --> 01:26:18.039 as you go through each round, you're picking up new 1967 01:26:18.279 --> 01:26:21.439 different kinds of dice, so maybe it looks like a 1968 01:26:21.520 --> 01:26:23.600 D twenty, it looks like a D six or whatever 1969 01:26:24.039 --> 01:26:27.720 type of dice, And then it gets really really funky 1970 01:26:27.760 --> 01:26:30.479 from there because like, hey, this dice, if you roll 1971 01:26:30.560 --> 01:26:33.439 it one way, it's just two dice stuck together, and 1972 01:26:33.520 --> 01:26:36.439 then it adds up the value. So if it lands 1973 01:26:36.479 --> 01:26:38.760 on like a two to three, it's actually a twenty 1974 01:26:38.880 --> 01:26:40.720 three instead of like, uh. 1975 01:26:41.159 --> 01:26:41.880 Okay or whatever. 1976 01:26:42.560 --> 01:26:45.119 That sounds fine, I like that, And it quickly starts 1977 01:26:45.239 --> 01:26:48.800 ramping up in like the these zaniness, and you know 1978 01:26:48.920 --> 01:26:50.960 how like in a bullet hell shooter or a schmup, 1979 01:26:51.079 --> 01:26:53.039 you get to that point near the end where it 1980 01:26:53.159 --> 01:26:56.119 just like it's just numbers and it just sprites everywhere. 1981 01:26:57.000 --> 01:27:00.399 Late game in Dice a million from the demo, of course, 1982 01:27:01.000 --> 01:27:03.920 still limited, it got to a point where it was 1983 01:27:04.000 --> 01:27:07.720 just numbers, like jumping up at me at the end 1984 01:27:07.760 --> 01:27:11.199 of my roles. The thing in that kind of replaces 1985 01:27:11.279 --> 01:27:13.880 the joker mechanic in bolotro is you have these different 1986 01:27:14.000 --> 01:27:17.920 rings and these rings will do similar stuff as like 1987 01:27:18.039 --> 01:27:21.479 jokers do in bolotro where okay, this is a multiply 1988 01:27:21.760 --> 01:27:27.039 multiplier or even numbers, get bonuses or whatever. Dice a million, 1989 01:27:27.279 --> 01:27:32.039 very very lovely demo because you can fucking lose yourself 1990 01:27:32.079 --> 01:27:35.800 in it. Like I have no release day just yet, 1991 01:27:35.840 --> 01:27:37.359 but plan for twenty twenty five. 1992 01:27:38.119 --> 01:27:40.399 I am interested in everything you're saying. And as you 1993 01:27:40.439 --> 01:27:42.479 were describing this, I realized, like, wait a minute. I've 1994 01:27:42.479 --> 01:27:44.000 talked so much about how I don't like dice in 1995 01:27:44.079 --> 01:27:45.479 video games and I get angry as soon as I 1996 01:27:45.520 --> 01:27:48.199 see a dice show up. But I just realized I 1997 01:27:48.720 --> 01:27:51.399 don't like it, and like a Balder's gate or something 1998 01:27:51.399 --> 01:27:53.720 where it's like, these are dudes fighting with swords, why 1999 01:27:53.720 --> 01:27:55.880 would dice show up? But I like it in like 2000 01:27:55.960 --> 01:27:58.640 a Mario party board game thing or a casino theme thing. 2001 01:27:58.800 --> 01:28:01.520 So I think I only like it, and it's diegetic 2002 01:28:02.319 --> 01:28:04.520 dice agetic bastard. What the fuck's wrong with you? 2003 01:28:05.199 --> 01:28:06.279 Die is the plural grab? 2004 01:28:06.359 --> 01:28:06.680 It worked? 2005 01:28:06.800 --> 01:28:15.439 Oh okay, god die is singular dice plural christ. 2006 01:28:16.800 --> 01:28:18.520 Jam, but it annoys me so much. I'm sorry. 2007 01:28:18.880 --> 01:28:20.720 No, I like it when dice should be there. It 2008 01:28:20.720 --> 01:28:22.319 should be there, and gambling it should. 2009 01:28:22.039 --> 01:28:26.359 Be there in a board game medieval war? Yeah? Yeah, no? 2010 01:28:26.960 --> 01:28:28.960 How long ago did you think of that joke? It 2011 01:28:29.039 --> 01:28:30.159 felt like five minutes. 2012 01:28:30.000 --> 01:28:33.800 Halfway through, Jane describe, I saw the lights clicking, the 2013 01:28:33.800 --> 01:28:34.800 wheels were turling. 2014 01:28:36.239 --> 01:28:39.840 These dice are messed up. Man, there's like a giraffe die, 2015 01:28:40.520 --> 01:28:41.119 Like how does that? 2016 01:28:41.800 --> 01:28:46.479 I saw a peanut? Yeah, there's I haven't gotten to 2017 01:28:46.560 --> 01:28:50.840 all like the funky ones. But god, what's the uh jack? 2018 01:28:50.920 --> 01:28:53.600 You get a jack as like you like. 2019 01:28:55.159 --> 01:28:55.600 The jacks? 2020 01:28:56.520 --> 01:29:00.760 Yeah, and oh it you go through like a tree 2021 01:29:01.000 --> 01:29:02.920 kind of like a slave the spire of like oh, 2022 01:29:03.039 --> 01:29:05.720 do I go do this next round of rolling for 2023 01:29:05.800 --> 01:29:07.720 dice or do I go for like an artifact? And 2024 01:29:07.760 --> 01:29:10.680 an artifact is like a you know, uh you can 2025 01:29:10.720 --> 01:29:13.399 get another bonus card or another ring for. 2026 01:29:13.479 --> 01:29:17.880 Your fingies, all right, did you mention that? Yeah? 2027 01:29:17.960 --> 01:29:20.119 The rings are kind of like your jokers in Blatro. 2028 01:29:20.359 --> 01:29:23.720 They just like the different die or like how the 2029 01:29:23.800 --> 01:29:27.039 dice add up to each other. God, this is gonna 2030 01:29:27.039 --> 01:29:29.960 be terrible for me. Yeah, this is a good look like, yeah, 2031 01:29:30.119 --> 01:29:33.039 it looks slick. It would be really cool on mobile 2032 01:29:33.640 --> 01:29:35.960 if you just shake your phone to throw dice. 2033 01:29:36.399 --> 01:29:42.359 Of course there you go, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. 2034 01:29:42.680 --> 01:29:46.279 My my biggest complaint about blatro on you can keep 2035 01:29:46.319 --> 01:29:50.479 going mikey, Uh the biggest complaint for Blatro on phones 2036 01:29:50.560 --> 01:29:52.600 is I wish they did have like a vertical mode 2037 01:29:52.760 --> 01:29:54.319 versus just always playing in. 2038 01:29:54.319 --> 01:29:59.880 Horror added, right, what I could see that being added. 2039 01:30:00.119 --> 01:30:03.880 I could see them doing that. Yeah, yeah, uh, all right. 2040 01:30:05.880 --> 01:30:08.039 He doesn't make the game, he just promotes it. I 2041 01:30:08.239 --> 01:30:12.399 call guy Jeff Grubb. 2042 01:30:12.479 --> 01:30:16.000 You did a stream of this game last week and 2043 01:30:16.159 --> 01:30:18.560 you didn't get to any of the actual criming around 2044 01:30:18.960 --> 01:30:21.800 because you played Mafia the Old Country and it looked 2045 01:30:21.840 --> 01:30:24.439 like you were just dig You were in a mine 2046 01:30:24.520 --> 01:30:25.479 or a cave the whole time. 2047 01:30:25.720 --> 01:30:26.600 It's a Minecraft. 2048 01:30:26.720 --> 01:30:35.680 Like Yeah, I'm sorry, Mike. 2049 01:30:36.520 --> 01:30:37.439 Uh it is. 2050 01:30:37.840 --> 01:30:40.199 I think I played like the first ninety minutes or something, 2051 01:30:40.239 --> 01:30:43.359 maybe even like I got around like two hours, and yeah, 2052 01:30:43.399 --> 01:30:46.319 it was all set up. You start off in your 2053 01:30:46.439 --> 01:30:49.079 working in a in a mine and you're very low 2054 01:30:49.279 --> 01:30:51.920 on the totem pole in this mining operation, and so 2055 01:30:52.000 --> 01:30:53.399 they tell you to go in there even though it's 2056 01:30:53.560 --> 01:30:56.520 obviously going to collapse and like release gas, and it 2057 01:30:56.600 --> 01:30:58.600 does that and you escape and then you get in 2058 01:30:58.640 --> 01:31:00.640 a fight with the big mean BA tries to get 2059 01:31:00.680 --> 01:31:02.840 you to work in the dangerous cave and you slice 2060 01:31:02.880 --> 01:31:05.119 them in the face and then you run away, they 2061 01:31:05.239 --> 01:31:07.640 find you, and then a mafia family takes you in 2062 01:31:07.800 --> 01:31:09.720 and then you start at the bottom. And that's where 2063 01:31:09.720 --> 01:31:12.079 I kind of stopped the game, where like I'm beginning 2064 01:31:12.159 --> 01:31:17.079 my ascent in the ranks of this mafia cartel. The 2065 01:31:17.479 --> 01:31:20.039 first thing I was doing there was going into a 2066 01:31:20.119 --> 01:31:22.880 wine cellar, getting crates of wine and putting on a truck. 2067 01:31:23.359 --> 01:31:25.239 And it feels like one of those games where it's 2068 01:31:25.279 --> 01:31:26.800 like we are going to just be like trying to 2069 01:31:26.920 --> 01:31:30.439 set the tone through small little gameplay touches throughout. There 2070 01:31:30.520 --> 01:31:32.520 was a lot of that stuff in the cave segment 2071 01:31:32.800 --> 01:31:34.680 and then it becomes a big action game. But it's 2072 01:31:34.760 --> 01:31:37.720 never an open world action game. It is always we 2073 01:31:37.800 --> 01:31:39.920 have set up an obstacle chorus for you with that's 2074 01:31:39.920 --> 01:31:42.279 gonna have a lot of fun mafia stuff happening off 2075 01:31:42.319 --> 01:31:44.600 to the side. There's gonna be you know, goons with 2076 01:31:44.680 --> 01:31:47.039 with their guns chasing you and you just got to 2077 01:31:47.239 --> 01:31:49.439 have to try to just outrun them. And it's all 2078 01:31:49.520 --> 01:31:51.720 working for me. I thought it was completely fine. Now 2079 01:31:51.760 --> 01:31:53.199 it's not a game that I was I ever had 2080 01:31:53.319 --> 01:31:55.800 high expectations for because I knew what it was and 2081 01:31:56.000 --> 01:31:57.960 then it was like I also has a reduced scope 2082 01:31:58.399 --> 01:32:01.920 compared to the previous Mafia games. That is helping being 2083 01:32:01.960 --> 01:32:04.039 able to set those expectations low and being like, this 2084 01:32:04.199 --> 01:32:05.880 is not going to try to do a bunch of stuff. 2085 01:32:05.880 --> 01:32:07.600 It's not going to be good at it's just going 2086 01:32:07.640 --> 01:32:10.239 to stick to telling the story, having like, you know, 2087 01:32:10.319 --> 01:32:13.279 it's interesting cast of characters, be in a pretty decent 2088 01:32:13.359 --> 01:32:13.800 looking game. 2089 01:32:13.840 --> 01:32:15.640 I think it looks really nice. A lot a lot 2090 01:32:15.680 --> 01:32:17.600 of that is the tech, but most of it is 2091 01:32:17.640 --> 01:32:20.920 the art style. And then all right, we're just going 2092 01:32:20.960 --> 01:32:22.479 to let you go through that story. And I think 2093 01:32:22.520 --> 01:32:24.239 that's probably the right choice for a game like this. 2094 01:32:24.399 --> 01:32:25.880 Does that work? Does that? 2095 01:32:26.000 --> 01:32:28.800 Do players want that beyond? You know? At all? 2096 01:32:29.199 --> 01:32:31.000 I don't know, but I was pretty happy with it. 2097 01:32:31.000 --> 01:32:33.319 I think this is a good direction for this series. 2098 01:32:33.399 --> 01:32:34.720 I don't know they're gonna be able to support it 2099 01:32:34.760 --> 01:32:36.640 for future games, but for this one, I'm like, yeah, 2100 01:32:36.680 --> 01:32:38.640 this is he said. I'm not like, I don't know, 2101 01:32:38.800 --> 01:32:40.279 I don't even know if I would like recommend it 2102 01:32:40.359 --> 01:32:42.479 to any of you. It's like, you know, you know, 2103 01:32:42.600 --> 01:32:44.079 if you're in the mood for this or not. 2104 01:32:44.199 --> 01:32:45.840 Yeah, I guess I'm most surprised to hear that you're 2105 01:32:45.840 --> 01:32:49.279 liking because what you're describing almost sounds like Read Their Redemption. 2106 01:32:49.079 --> 01:32:52.039 Two, but only the story mission. No, So it's it 2107 01:32:52.239 --> 01:32:56.960 is like the Order eighteen eighty. You not like horses? Me, Yeah, 2108 01:32:57.359 --> 01:32:59.119 I love Read Their Redemption two. No no, no, not 2109 01:32:59.239 --> 01:33:02.439 you grosses now, I know. I mean I don't trust them. 2110 01:33:02.560 --> 01:33:03.840 There their legs. 2111 01:33:06.159 --> 01:33:06.359 Listen. 2112 01:33:06.399 --> 01:33:14.239 I love a talking horse because I can reason with it. Now, yeah, 2113 01:33:14.279 --> 01:33:16.760 I know. I think it's it's not like Red red 2114 01:33:16.760 --> 01:33:19.479 Redemption Too at all, because Red Renemption two promises the 2115 01:33:19.560 --> 01:33:22.199 world right, and then it's like sometimes it's like, no, 2116 01:33:22.319 --> 01:33:24.920 you can't do that. This is like from the beginning, 2117 01:33:24.920 --> 01:33:27.000 it's like, no, we're setting up the boundaries. We're not 2118 01:33:27.279 --> 01:33:28.840 ever going to suggest to you that you have the 2119 01:33:28.920 --> 01:33:31.239 ability to like take control and go do whatever you want. 2120 01:33:31.600 --> 01:33:33.520 And it's not like, oh, i can go off the 2121 01:33:33.840 --> 01:33:36.359 beaten path here and I'm going to fail the mission 2122 01:33:36.479 --> 01:33:38.760 because there's no reason to want to do that. Where 2123 01:33:38.880 --> 01:33:40.680 that does exist in Red Ded Reredomtion too, where I'm 2124 01:33:40.680 --> 01:33:42.439 like I'm gonna try this, and the games like we're 2125 01:33:42.439 --> 01:33:44.680 not happy with you. So it's like by having the 2126 01:33:44.840 --> 01:33:47.920 understood boundaries between me and the game, I can just 2127 01:33:48.000 --> 01:33:49.520 mess around with what's in front of me, and then 2128 01:33:49.560 --> 01:33:53.159 what's in front of me is you know, decent to good, 2129 01:33:53.399 --> 01:33:56.560 and then it looks nice. It's it's hard to explain, 2130 01:33:56.640 --> 01:33:58.880 like like like, like I said, I think it's the expectation. Well, 2131 01:33:59.000 --> 01:33:59.960 you're not expecting. 2132 01:33:59.720 --> 01:34:01.800 Tons of this game, and they're delivering on what they 2133 01:34:01.800 --> 01:34:02.520 said they would. 2134 01:34:02.319 --> 01:34:04.560 Do before release. You were saying that you expect it 2135 01:34:04.640 --> 01:34:07.000 to be like an uncharted game. Is that like, at 2136 01:34:07.079 --> 01:34:08.840 least in terms of scope. Is that kind of like 2137 01:34:08.880 --> 01:34:09.960 while we're looking at here. 2138 01:34:10.319 --> 01:34:14.159 Uh yeah, I'm like the original Charted games. Yes, yeah, yeah, 2139 01:34:14.840 --> 01:34:16.439 like before trying to be a PS three game. 2140 01:34:16.520 --> 01:34:19.000 Yeah, before flour you know, added a more open area 2141 01:34:19.000 --> 01:34:23.079 and everything, but just sort of the classic action adventurous style. 2142 01:34:23.479 --> 01:34:26.760 You go through what is essentially a level. It's a 2143 01:34:26.880 --> 01:34:30.119 little more narrow than games are nowadays, but it's like 2144 01:34:30.239 --> 01:34:32.199 you have the cinemac moments and stuff like that. 2145 01:34:33.159 --> 01:34:35.760 Yeah, yeah, yes, I think that's it does. Like we 2146 01:34:36.439 --> 01:34:39.520 commented this several times. Chat said this as well. When 2147 01:34:39.560 --> 01:34:41.640 I was playing, it feels like a PS three game, 2148 01:34:41.680 --> 01:34:44.479 and I think it's specifically those kinds of games. And yeah, 2149 01:34:44.640 --> 01:34:47.000 just good set pieces can go a long way if 2150 01:34:47.039 --> 01:34:48.800 that's the kind of kind of game you're trying to make. 2151 01:34:49.279 --> 01:34:51.600 And I think they're decent here, Like it's not it's 2152 01:34:51.680 --> 01:34:53.640 not like an awesome eight out of ten. It's like 2153 01:34:53.680 --> 01:34:57.199 a pretty good seven out of ten. We need those. Yeah, 2154 01:34:57.600 --> 01:34:59.920 I'm very happy with that now, Grub. 2155 01:35:00.000 --> 01:35:03.000 As far as I have been able to gleam from 2156 01:35:03.079 --> 01:35:05.640 from watching you play through that, you're just a normal dude. 2157 01:35:05.760 --> 01:35:08.640 Right, I'm not yet not a super human. 2158 01:35:09.720 --> 01:35:11.720 That's not normal. I understand. 2159 01:35:11.760 --> 01:35:14.239 I understand how being an Italian staling gives you like 2160 01:35:14.279 --> 01:35:17.439 a plus five to strength. Of course, why do you 2161 01:35:17.600 --> 01:35:18.720 have Italian vision? 2162 01:35:19.840 --> 01:35:24.600 Well you can smell about the Italian vision. 2163 01:35:26.159 --> 01:35:31.680 A secret. Yeah, you can smell the olive oil waves 2164 01:35:31.720 --> 01:35:37.119 in the air. Oh no, yeah, it's it's just you know, 2165 01:35:37.199 --> 01:35:39.239 it comes with these games now. It's like pre baked 2166 01:35:39.279 --> 01:35:39.600 in there. 2167 01:35:39.680 --> 01:35:40.479 That's just how it goes. 2168 01:35:40.760 --> 01:35:41.159 I I. 2169 01:35:42.640 --> 01:35:47.279 Video game developers. Unless your main character is like Batman 2170 01:35:47.439 --> 01:35:52.199 and you have technology, stop this Bond vision, Bond hit 2171 01:35:52.319 --> 01:35:56.800 Man vision. Hit he's a trained hitman. Yeah, okay, you're 2172 01:35:56.840 --> 01:35:58.840 running the mill, dude, what's he gonna do? Like I 2173 01:35:58.920 --> 01:36:02.159 can't stand here now, just like think really hard and like, oh, 2174 01:36:02.199 --> 01:36:03.960 there's someone on the second floor of this building. 2175 01:36:04.159 --> 01:36:06.479 I can't get it. I kind of can hear something. 2176 01:36:06.840 --> 01:36:08.800 I feel like I can hear people upstairs like move 2177 01:36:08.840 --> 01:36:10.720 and like know what room they're in right, Like that 2178 01:36:11.039 --> 01:36:11.880 is a little bit like. 2179 01:36:11.920 --> 01:36:13.000 The vision vision. 2180 01:36:14.199 --> 01:36:15.720 I might be damaged. I'm like, oh, they're gonna break. 2181 01:36:15.760 --> 01:36:19.920 That's mental illness. It's neuro divergency. 2182 01:36:21.279 --> 01:36:25.399 That's mental illness. Uh, folks. The last game of the 2183 01:36:25.479 --> 01:36:28.159 what You've been playing segment is a game that we'll 2184 01:36:28.279 --> 01:36:30.279 talk about in the news, I believe, because it's been 2185 01:36:30.439 --> 01:36:33.079 blowing up, and not just the buildings, but in the 2186 01:36:33.199 --> 01:36:35.920 player account. Mike Manatti, you wrote this here by I 2187 01:36:36.279 --> 01:36:38.720 think everyone here has gotten a chance to dip into 2188 01:36:38.760 --> 01:36:39.520 Battlefield six. 2189 01:36:39.800 --> 01:36:45.159 Yeah, that mountain in the middle of that stage where 2190 01:36:45.199 --> 01:36:48.359 all the snipers go now, and it just becomes impossible play, 2191 01:36:48.399 --> 01:36:52.840 impossible play. It was fun when I like I figured 2192 01:36:52.880 --> 01:36:54.119 it out and I'm like, okay, I'm just gonna go 2193 01:36:54.199 --> 01:36:55.920 ruin their day. And I just ran in there over and. 2194 01:36:55.960 --> 01:36:59.399 Over and killed because they got no hiding spots. 2195 01:36:59.680 --> 01:37:01.720 Yeah, it's the move actually, clearly, it's just like we 2196 01:37:01.800 --> 01:37:03.520 got to play it more and figure out the obvious. 2197 01:37:04.640 --> 01:37:08.359 That's why, you know, I think everybody pits Battlefield and 2198 01:37:08.359 --> 01:37:10.039 Call of Duty against each other, but boy, those are 2199 01:37:10.319 --> 01:37:12.359 very different kind of games that you need to be playing. 2200 01:37:12.640 --> 01:37:15.239 Although you know, I do get why people are saying 2201 01:37:15.239 --> 01:37:16.960 this one feels a little bit more like call of duty. 2202 01:37:17.000 --> 01:37:19.439 In some other battlefields, the time to kill is very 2203 01:37:19.520 --> 01:37:20.079 call of duty. 2204 01:37:20.199 --> 01:37:23.159 Like I, yeah, I guess, but I feel like I 2205 01:37:23.199 --> 01:37:24.840 was getting pretty good at call of Duty from playing 2206 01:37:24.880 --> 01:37:28.079 Black Op six last year, and I liked Battlefield very 2207 01:37:28.159 --> 01:37:30.680 early on. I played a lot of Battlefield nineteen forty 2208 01:37:30.760 --> 01:37:33.960 two in Battlefield Vietnam, and then kind of checked out. 2209 01:37:34.000 --> 01:37:35.399 I didn't even play that much of three and four, 2210 01:37:35.439 --> 01:37:37.920 but I've been creating Battlefield a bit, so I was 2211 01:37:38.039 --> 01:37:40.520 excited to play this, and I was enjoying that. Like, yeah, 2212 01:37:40.680 --> 01:37:43.840 I'm glad that this is basically just battlefield something too crazy. 2213 01:37:44.359 --> 01:37:47.239 I am really bad at it. It should be called 2214 01:37:47.279 --> 01:37:52.439 the battlefield because I'm so god awful at its. 2215 01:37:52.840 --> 01:37:54.600 I don't even know what it is, like dia Jenic's 2216 01:37:54.640 --> 01:37:58.920 not so bad. Now, I'll give me a second, Dan, 2217 01:37:59.000 --> 01:37:59.920 I'll come up with something more. 2218 01:38:00.359 --> 01:38:02.079 I don't know why I'm so bad, because, like you know, 2219 01:38:02.239 --> 01:38:03.960 Amy and shooting things I did other games. 2220 01:38:04.000 --> 01:38:04.840 I'm like, I just can't. 2221 01:38:05.800 --> 01:38:08.600 I'm pretty rough at it, but still just aside from 2222 01:38:08.640 --> 01:38:12.319 my skill issue, Yeah, I think they have something here. 2223 01:38:12.840 --> 01:38:15.920 The game looks really good. It seems to run pretty well, 2224 01:38:16.079 --> 01:38:21.159 even in this beta format. I do like these maps, 2225 01:38:21.399 --> 01:38:24.399 you know, something flashy, but they generally seem to make sense. 2226 01:38:24.439 --> 01:38:26.479 I haven't been able to like get in an airplane, 2227 01:38:27.319 --> 01:38:29.560 even piloting tanks. I'm usually like the second guy in 2228 01:38:29.640 --> 01:38:32.920 the tanks. I'm just using that kind of gun thing whatever. 2229 01:38:33.640 --> 01:38:35.520 But yeah, it seems like they made a really good 2230 01:38:35.560 --> 01:38:37.800 one of those, and people are responding to it. 2231 01:38:39.000 --> 01:38:40.920 Yeah, I'm kind of like right there with you where 2232 01:38:41.800 --> 01:38:43.720 I played a lot of nineteen forty three when it 2233 01:38:43.800 --> 01:38:44.600 came on Xbox. 2234 01:38:44.720 --> 01:38:47.920 Yeah, I know, when I played Yeah to the Island, right, yeah, 2235 01:38:48.039 --> 01:38:49.600 ye Wake Island. 2236 01:38:49.399 --> 01:38:52.159 Ton of that. That was a good time. And then 2237 01:38:52.399 --> 01:38:55.000 I played some three and some four but not much, 2238 01:38:55.800 --> 01:38:58.920 and it really my battlefield experiences. I kind of try 2239 01:38:58.960 --> 01:39:00.279 to play it like Call of Duty because I played 2240 01:39:00.319 --> 01:39:01.439 a lot of Call of Duty, so I'd kind of 2241 01:39:01.520 --> 01:39:03.720 run right at the action, get the idea of like, 2242 01:39:03.760 --> 01:39:05.199 oh I'm going to be able to flank this and 2243 01:39:05.399 --> 01:39:07.960 do something here, and just get demolished over and over again, 2244 01:39:08.000 --> 01:39:09.960 and then eventually I'll sit on the ah right, let's 2245 01:39:09.960 --> 01:39:12.439 start some of these mid range skirmishes and see if 2246 01:39:12.439 --> 01:39:14.239 I can figure that out. And once I get on 2247 01:39:14.279 --> 01:39:17.039 its wavelength, it's a little bit better and it's a 2248 01:39:17.079 --> 01:39:19.680 good time. I like the Battlefield games. This one it's 2249 01:39:19.760 --> 01:39:21.720 just like everything else is hitting really well that I 2250 01:39:21.840 --> 01:39:23.600 kind of want to get on that learning curve and 2251 01:39:23.720 --> 01:39:26.920 relearn Battlefield once again because it just feels good to 2252 01:39:27.000 --> 01:39:31.039 play and it looks fantastic, you know, It's it is 2253 01:39:31.159 --> 01:39:33.000 still that game like it. If you're going to run 2254 01:39:33.039 --> 01:39:34.159 in there and try to be an a hole and 2255 01:39:34.359 --> 01:39:36.119 lone wolf it, you're going to get hurt. So okay, 2256 01:39:36.159 --> 01:39:37.600 I got to not play that way, and I'm okay 2257 01:39:37.680 --> 01:39:39.640 to not play that way again because it's working so 2258 01:39:39.720 --> 01:39:40.800 well on all the other factors. 2259 01:39:40.880 --> 01:39:43.239 Yeah, I'm kind of on the opposite side of things 2260 01:39:43.279 --> 01:39:47.279 from you guys where I got into Battlefield. With Battlefield too, 2261 01:39:48.319 --> 01:39:50.840 my stepbrother was really big into it, and when we've 2262 01:39:51.439 --> 01:39:53.560 first getting to know each other, we played that a lot, 2263 01:39:54.239 --> 01:39:57.000 and I played that and then three and four were 2264 01:39:57.119 --> 01:39:59.840 when I was like in college, like laid high school 2265 01:39:59.840 --> 01:40:03.279 and college, so I got really into those games for 2266 01:40:03.600 --> 01:40:05.600 a while there, and I so I do really like 2267 01:40:05.720 --> 01:40:09.520 the modern like modern day sort of battlefield rare than 2268 01:40:09.640 --> 01:40:12.640 the World War one or two stuff that you know, 2269 01:40:12.760 --> 01:40:14.760 they also went back to for a while there, and 2270 01:40:14.840 --> 01:40:17.279 so playing this one, it's like, yeah, I'm back, Like 2271 01:40:17.399 --> 01:40:20.239 we're back into what battlefield as I know it is, 2272 01:40:20.399 --> 01:40:22.920 I think where the Heidle series for a lot of. 2273 01:40:22.960 --> 01:40:23.880 People will be. 2274 01:40:24.520 --> 01:40:26.880 It's kind of weird to think that this is kind 2275 01:40:26.920 --> 01:40:29.359 of just more of that we haven't had it in 2276 01:40:29.399 --> 01:40:33.000 a while, but the continuations kind of the uh, like 2277 01:40:33.079 --> 01:40:35.520 we call it duty the modern Warfare twenty nineteen thing, 2278 01:40:35.560 --> 01:40:38.319 where oh yeah, this is just like the best version 2279 01:40:38.399 --> 01:40:40.920 of this that they've done in a while, And it's 2280 01:40:40.960 --> 01:40:43.560 weird to think that, Wow, it's been like twelve years 2281 01:40:43.720 --> 01:40:46.199 since we've done that. It's also weird thing that they 2282 01:40:46.279 --> 01:40:48.840 have kind of just you know, we were like, where's 2283 01:40:48.880 --> 01:40:50.960 battlefield gone? They have put out a game roughly every 2284 01:40:51.000 --> 01:40:54.319 three years since then, which is what most companies are 2285 01:40:54.319 --> 01:40:56.600 going to do. Uh, but yeah, it's fun to be 2286 01:40:56.800 --> 01:41:00.279 back into that style of battlefield, not going way back 2287 01:41:00.319 --> 01:41:02.319 to World War one or two, not try to do 2288 01:41:02.520 --> 01:41:05.680 near future stuff with twenty forty two. It is just 2289 01:41:05.840 --> 01:41:09.560 the more traditional battlefield experience. Maybe some call duty isms 2290 01:41:09.560 --> 01:41:10.920 in there, like you said, with the time to kill 2291 01:41:10.960 --> 01:41:14.079 and everything. But yeah, I didn't play much more than 2292 01:41:14.159 --> 01:41:17.239 what we played on stream the r day, but I 2293 01:41:17.399 --> 01:41:19.399 had a blast with that and then a few matches 2294 01:41:19.439 --> 01:41:21.239 I played after that. It's just fun to be back 2295 01:41:21.319 --> 01:41:22.399 playing battlefield again. 2296 01:41:23.119 --> 01:41:23.319 Yeah. 2297 01:41:23.479 --> 01:41:27.119 I normally get super overwhelmed anytime I've checked out a battlefield, 2298 01:41:27.159 --> 01:41:30.680 so I've generally bounced off of them and the only 2299 01:41:31.960 --> 01:41:34.600 but I've been having an actually good time at this one. 2300 01:41:36.439 --> 01:41:37.159 I don't know why. 2301 01:41:37.520 --> 01:41:41.920 Maybe it's because, like I've never really caught Call of 2302 01:41:42.000 --> 01:41:45.399 Duty has never really clicked with me, and I really 2303 01:41:45.720 --> 01:41:49.359 enjoyed gosh, the finals from a couple of years ago. Right, yeah, 2304 01:41:49.560 --> 01:41:53.840 so very similar DNA here U battlefield people. 2305 01:41:53.640 --> 01:41:54.960 Worked on that Battlefield six. 2306 01:41:54.960 --> 01:41:56.800 Why don't you just give me a grappling hook and 2307 01:41:56.960 --> 01:41:59.039 like an air dash. Just do that and then I'll 2308 01:41:59.079 --> 01:42:05.399 fucking like it's on the for that. Okay, Okay, but yeah, 2309 01:42:05.439 --> 01:42:07.359 this is this has been Have you all had any 2310 01:42:07.479 --> 01:42:10.720 like trouble connecting since like the beta like became open 2311 01:42:10.840 --> 01:42:13.239 or whatever. I know we had some like initial like 2312 01:42:13.319 --> 01:42:15.199 funky business on top of that screen. 2313 01:42:15.600 --> 01:42:17.840 These cross play things want up, but now no things 2314 01:42:17.880 --> 01:42:20.199 are going bro. So there was some weirdness with people 2315 01:42:20.319 --> 01:42:22.760 joining my party in a game and then like not 2316 01:42:22.880 --> 01:42:24.840 being put into the game with me. I happened with 2317 01:42:24.920 --> 01:42:27.359 Jeff and Christian when I was playing, So I don't know, 2318 01:42:27.520 --> 01:42:30.119 maybe just a just a thing there, but it was 2319 01:42:30.199 --> 01:42:30.680 running well. 2320 01:42:31.920 --> 01:42:34.640 All right, Gang, that about does it for video games. 2321 01:42:34.720 --> 01:42:36.960 We're going to take another quick breaking break and then 2322 01:42:36.960 --> 01:42:38.680 we will get to the news. But before we get 2323 01:42:38.680 --> 01:42:40.359 to the news and take a quick breaking break, yo, 2324 01:42:40.520 --> 01:42:43.199 I I uh, I've been keeping this under raps. 2325 01:42:43.239 --> 01:42:43.439 Gang. 2326 01:42:43.560 --> 01:42:45.439 I haven't been talking about this a lot, but like 2327 01:42:45.960 --> 01:42:49.119 I've been, I've been really deep into the Magic the 2328 01:42:49.199 --> 01:42:52.800 Gathering minds, and I'm in that phase of phase of 2329 01:42:52.960 --> 01:42:55.239 like learning and playing where like I'm still a little 2330 01:42:55.239 --> 01:42:57.680 too shy to play with actual shoot people.

We're gonna take quick breaking break. 2353 01:43:57.600 --> 01:44:05.520 We'll see. On the other side, this is Jeff Crobb 2354 01:44:05.680 --> 01:44:14.279 with the news. Grubb, Hey, howdy, Hello, got some headlines 2355 01:44:14.279 --> 01:44:17.079 here for everybody. Let's get into the news. Microsoft has 2356 01:44:17.119 --> 01:44:22.119 stopped development on Avalanche Studios contraband another game that they've canceled. 2357 01:44:22.800 --> 01:44:24.880 This is one that we didn't see much of. They 2358 01:44:24.960 --> 01:44:28.720 showed it off four years ago at a summer game 2359 01:44:28.800 --> 01:44:33.000 Fest like one of their summer showcases. It just had 2360 01:44:33.039 --> 01:44:36.720 a teaser trailer Avalanche Studio that did Just Cause and 2361 01:44:37.079 --> 01:44:39.439 they are now canceling that game as well. This comes 2362 01:44:39.439 --> 01:44:41.279 in the way of them canceling Perfect Dark as well 2363 01:44:41.319 --> 01:44:45.159 as being part of the nine thousand people layoff at 2364 01:44:45.199 --> 01:44:47.760 all of Microsoft. Not all those Rexbox, but a lot were. 2365 01:44:48.960 --> 01:44:50.960 And that's on top of the many layoffs that have 2366 01:44:51.039 --> 01:44:53.399 happened over the years, tens of thousands. 2367 01:44:54.720 --> 01:44:55.840 You know, we said it earlier. 2368 01:44:55.880 --> 01:44:59.680 Once again, Microsoft under a BDS Movement boycott for, as 2369 01:44:59.720 --> 01:45:02.520 they say here, perhaps being the most complicit tech company 2370 01:45:02.600 --> 01:45:07.479 in Israel's illegal occupation Aparthdy regime and ongoing genocide. Uh 2371 01:45:08.159 --> 01:45:12.159 and Xbox specifically is the target of that boycott. Yeah, 2372 01:45:12.439 --> 01:45:14.800 Contraband's game. I was interested because the trailer had a 2373 01:45:14.840 --> 01:45:16.840 steely dance song in it, and that's say it was 2374 01:45:16.880 --> 01:45:18.319 gonna be something like a heist game. 2375 01:45:19.359 --> 01:45:19.479 Was it? 2376 01:45:19.760 --> 01:45:22.359 Was it Peg? It might have been Peg? Oh yeah, 2377 01:45:22.600 --> 01:45:23.560 I can't I can't remember. 2378 01:45:23.560 --> 01:45:29.439 It was a while ago. Yeah, you know, Pegging. 2379 01:45:29.960 --> 01:45:33.600 Anyway, it is a Contraband. I did anyone have any 2380 01:45:33.720 --> 01:45:35.399 like hopes or dreams for this game? 2381 01:45:35.479 --> 01:45:37.720 I like just Cause games, So you know, just the 2382 01:45:37.800 --> 01:45:40.239 idea of like just Cause kind of on a different name, 2383 01:45:40.239 --> 01:45:42.600 maybe with co op in it, maybe doing some of 2384 01:45:42.680 --> 01:45:46.119 that height stuff from GTA five or a payday. 2385 01:45:46.239 --> 01:45:48.079 I don't know. I guess I just had faith in 2386 01:45:48.159 --> 01:45:49.399 the developer. 2387 01:45:49.760 --> 01:45:50.199 Right yeah. 2388 01:45:50.239 --> 01:45:53.039 Yeah. Did we really know what this was or kind 2389 01:45:53.079 --> 01:45:56.560 of just buzzwords at this point. I think we had buzzwords. Yeah, 2390 01:45:56.560 --> 01:45:59.159 I think you're right. We never saw anything else from it, 2391 01:45:59.279 --> 01:46:01.199 not a single second. I never talked about it. 2392 01:46:01.560 --> 01:46:06.119 I kept getting sorry, go ahead, je oh, I kept 2393 01:46:06.159 --> 01:46:10.560 getting this game confused with uh condemned, and I was 2394 01:46:10.600 --> 01:46:12.960 excited we were making another condemn we condemned back? 2395 01:46:13.159 --> 01:46:15.880 Yeah, cool, mixed up with Concord at the end there, 2396 01:46:16.760 --> 01:46:17.159 that's right. 2397 01:46:17.239 --> 01:46:19.880 Yeah yeah yeah. I had to make a headline for 2398 01:46:20.199 --> 01:46:23.399 uh the Game of Show. I was like, Concord canceled. 2399 01:46:24.600 --> 01:46:26.600 That turns out, yeah it was. 2400 01:46:26.680 --> 01:46:29.159 Now that's a market of video game podcast just reporting 2401 01:46:29.239 --> 01:46:30.920 on the news like a year and a half too late. 2402 01:46:31.079 --> 01:46:35.039 Yeah, yeah, they're good. Yeah, it's a it's a shame. Uh. 2403 01:46:35.840 --> 01:46:39.680 Microsoft seems bad. It seems bad right now. Yeah, yep. 2404 01:46:40.000 --> 01:46:41.600 Not interested in making games. 2405 01:46:41.600 --> 01:46:43.600 And I mentioned this elsewhere when we talked about this before. 2406 01:46:43.640 --> 01:46:45.439 You get the sense that like a lot of studios 2407 01:46:45.479 --> 01:46:47.279 that they were once going to work with are gonna 2408 01:46:47.359 --> 01:46:50.039 like publish their project externally. Kind of got burned by 2409 01:46:50.079 --> 01:46:52.720 Microsoft over the last several years. But that like really 2410 01:46:52.840 --> 01:46:55.840 culminated during these last layoffs, where that sounds like they 2411 01:46:55.960 --> 01:46:58.640 just canceled a ton of projects. So the cancelations go 2412 01:46:58.720 --> 01:47:00.520 deeper than just the ones we heard of about from 2413 01:47:01.000 --> 01:47:04.600 Xbox publishing themselves. But this is this is one of 2414 01:47:04.640 --> 01:47:06.399 the one of the bigger ones, even though again it 2415 01:47:06.520 --> 01:47:06.800 just was. 2416 01:47:06.840 --> 01:47:08.359 Just buzzwords as far as we could tell. 2417 01:47:08.720 --> 01:47:10.520 Then why did they buy all those studios? 2418 01:47:10.920 --> 01:47:13.239 Yeah, I mean Avalanche is not one that they bought, 2419 01:47:13.359 --> 01:47:15.560 but yes, they like they did buy a bunch of studios. 2420 01:47:16.079 --> 01:47:17.880 It doesn't seem like for any good reason now, Jan 2421 01:47:17.960 --> 01:47:18.640 at this point. 2422 01:47:18.520 --> 01:47:21.680 Yeah, it feels like there's a lot of like internal 2423 01:47:21.720 --> 01:47:23.680 I'm trying to think the right word, but like conflict 2424 01:47:23.800 --> 01:47:25.840 kind of like a water and oil thing happening here 2425 01:47:25.880 --> 01:47:28.359 where there's people who want to make the cool stuff. 2426 01:47:28.760 --> 01:47:31.800 But then there's still the fact that it's Microsoft, which 2427 01:47:32.119 --> 01:47:35.199 from always, always, for history has been one of the 2428 01:47:35.239 --> 01:47:38.159 most cutthroat companies on the planet. You know, that's why 2429 01:47:38.199 --> 01:47:40.319 we're all running Windows. It's not because we want to, 2430 01:47:40.840 --> 01:47:44.079 because they like paid to have deals with companies. Right 2431 01:47:44.159 --> 01:47:47.159 became the de facto work operating system. So now that's 2432 01:47:47.199 --> 01:47:49.439 what people put on their work laptops and now just 2433 01:47:49.560 --> 01:47:52.640 on their home computers and stuff. It's how they do everything. 2434 01:47:52.800 --> 01:47:55.199 And it felt like Xbox in the early days. Like 2435 01:47:55.960 --> 01:47:58.279 you hear people talk about it. It doesn't sound too 2436 01:47:58.319 --> 01:48:01.159 different from like PlayStation of like this, you know, sort 2437 01:48:01.159 --> 01:48:04.479 of scrappy, upstart team within this like you know, gigantic, 2438 01:48:04.920 --> 01:48:08.800 bloodthirsty corporation, but like a team that really want to 2439 01:48:08.840 --> 01:48:12.479 do something cool. And as they become more and more Microsoft, 2440 01:48:13.199 --> 01:48:15.159 that's how we see more and more things happen, like 2441 01:48:15.319 --> 01:48:18.000 mass layoffs and like buying a bunch of studios and 2442 01:48:18.119 --> 01:48:21.079 doing nothing effective with them, and then all these games 2443 01:48:21.119 --> 01:48:23.720 getting canceled. Not to mention everything else that Microsoft does 2444 01:48:23.760 --> 01:48:27.399 as a company, it just feels like the Microsoft of 2445 01:48:27.960 --> 01:48:31.000 it all is just like slowly killing what Xbox is 2446 01:48:31.159 --> 01:48:31.800 or could have been. 2447 01:48:31.840 --> 01:48:35.239 At this point, I think that's exactly it. And like, 2448 01:48:35.399 --> 01:48:38.479 I bet the Mike keeps recommending these books. Now I'm 2449 01:48:38.479 --> 01:48:41.399 reading one about the history of electricity, and it's like 2450 01:48:42.159 --> 01:48:46.199 all these early companies that were like Westinghouse and and 2451 01:48:47.600 --> 01:48:50.319 you know ge all these companies that were everywhere. Semens 2452 01:48:50.920 --> 01:48:53.520 it's like some of them were able to like take 2453 01:48:53.600 --> 01:48:57.560 their their early wins and turn that into perpetual wins 2454 01:48:57.600 --> 01:48:59.520 where they are still around today. Semens is still like 2455 01:48:59.520 --> 01:49:01.920 the company that to this day that's like making uh 2456 01:49:02.279 --> 01:49:03.199 mono rails and stuff. 2457 01:49:03.399 --> 01:49:09.159 Yes, Semens, everybody what they were a sponsor for Spaceship 2458 01:49:09.199 --> 01:49:12.840 Earth at one point. See they're they're cleaning up for Disney, 2459 01:49:12.880 --> 01:49:14.800 They're cleaning up for the Giant bomb cast. 2460 01:49:15.199 --> 01:49:19.920 Semens. Anyway, the Microsoft is like I think looks at 2461 01:49:19.960 --> 01:49:22.239 the history of corporations, it's like, if we want to 2462 01:49:22.279 --> 01:49:25.039 be relevant, we have to be cutthroat to ourselves and 2463 01:49:25.359 --> 01:49:27.880 like kind of like lop off anything that's not working 2464 01:49:28.079 --> 01:49:29.760 or really reduce it. And we know that we got 2465 01:49:29.880 --> 01:49:31.840 to like position ourselves to be behind the next thing. 2466 01:49:31.920 --> 01:49:34.039 And we know the next thing is AI and they're 2467 01:49:34.079 --> 01:49:35.920 in the middle of that right now. And whether it 2468 01:49:36.039 --> 01:49:37.920 is or isn't, whether it can be the thing that 2469 01:49:38.119 --> 01:49:40.079 makes the money in the future, it very well could 2470 01:49:40.159 --> 01:49:42.279 turn out to be the case, but it will be 2471 01:49:42.399 --> 01:49:44.760 because if they are able to capture that, it will 2472 01:49:44.800 --> 01:49:47.079 be because they gave up on several other things that 2473 01:49:47.159 --> 01:49:49.760 were working just fine, but they weren't working as well 2474 01:49:49.800 --> 01:49:53.239 as AI maybe might for them one day. It's frustrating 2475 01:49:53.319 --> 01:49:56.600 to see. All right, let's keep going here. Former Buy 2476 01:49:56.680 --> 01:49:59.840 where executive producer says EA pitched multiple times to remaster 2477 01:50:00.039 --> 01:50:02.840 the first three Dragon Age games. Mark Dara was on 2478 01:50:03.039 --> 01:50:05.880 Mister Maddy Play's podcast or in a video kind of 2479 01:50:05.920 --> 01:50:08.359 just did an interview with them and they talked about 2480 01:50:08.359 --> 01:50:10.039 a bunch of stuff. One of the tidbits that came 2481 01:50:10.079 --> 01:50:12.960 out of there, though, is several times Bywear was like, 2482 01:50:13.000 --> 01:50:14.880 we would do this, and EA had a couple of 2483 01:50:14.920 --> 01:50:17.199 reasons why they didn't want it. I think the biggest 2484 01:50:17.239 --> 01:50:20.039 reason it's like, you know, mass effect was more important. 2485 01:50:20.079 --> 01:50:21.880 They did that first, and it's like, well, maybe look 2486 01:50:21.880 --> 01:50:24.159 at the dragon Aage one day. But also dragon Age 2487 01:50:24.399 --> 01:50:26.840 is not all just one engine like the third games 2488 01:50:26.880 --> 01:50:29.720 on Frostbite. Can't remember what the engine was called before that, 2489 01:50:29.840 --> 01:50:31.640 but it was a different engine. None of them are 2490 01:50:31.720 --> 01:50:34.520 on Unreal where it's like for mass effect, they were 2491 01:50:34.520 --> 01:50:37.359 all on Unreal, and Mark Dara pointed out, like when 2492 01:50:37.359 --> 01:50:39.199 you do when that happens, first of all, you can 2493 01:50:39.239 --> 01:50:41.159 make improvements to one game, and a lot of them 2494 01:50:41.159 --> 01:50:44.039 will carry over. But also you can work with outsource 2495 01:50:44.079 --> 01:50:47.039 companies because they all know unreal and so you could 2496 01:50:47.199 --> 01:50:49.560 just contract someone to do most of the work, which 2497 01:50:49.640 --> 01:50:53.199 is what they did with Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Also, 2498 01:50:53.359 --> 01:50:55.560 the stories are not like linear, that's not like a 2499 01:50:55.600 --> 01:50:57.880 Mass Effect where one is a direct sequel to the 2500 01:50:58.039 --> 01:51:00.279 one before it. So they just feel like the juice 2501 01:51:00.319 --> 01:51:02.920 isn't quite there. Now. Dragon Age fans are crazy. They 2502 01:51:03.000 --> 01:51:06.399 probably will get around to doing this one day, very 2503 01:51:06.479 --> 01:51:08.560 long time from now, but it's like, you know, dragon 2504 01:51:08.600 --> 01:51:10.159 Age is at a low point, right, Yeah, I. 2505 01:51:10.159 --> 01:51:11.479 Mean I don't know why he didn't at least just 2506 01:51:11.560 --> 01:51:14.640 do it with dragon Age origins one, but yeah, right. 2507 01:51:15.560 --> 01:51:17.439 It is weird though, because they don't even really like 2508 01:51:17.720 --> 01:51:23.760 to remaster games that much in general. Legendary that Legendary 2509 01:51:23.800 --> 01:51:26.159 addition is a bit of an outlier for that. I 2510 01:51:26.199 --> 01:51:27.960 think that a couple of remix like Dead Space and 2511 01:51:28.000 --> 01:51:29.600 even then there wasn't that much use there. But there's 2512 01:51:29.600 --> 01:51:32.680 all sorts of games that they could be remastering that 2513 01:51:33.159 --> 01:51:38.079 you know, our beloved, like you know, Burnout, and people 2514 01:51:38.159 --> 01:51:40.359 bring up a bad company all the time, right, like, oh, 2515 01:51:40.520 --> 01:51:42.880 we want bad Company. They're not going to remaster an 2516 01:51:42.960 --> 01:51:43.960 old battlefield game? 2517 01:51:44.000 --> 01:51:44.720 Are you crazy? 2518 01:51:45.920 --> 01:51:48.560 So yeah, it seems like a misopportunity, especially because Dragon 2519 01:51:48.640 --> 01:51:50.800 Age four could have used a little bit juice going 2520 01:51:50.880 --> 01:51:53.680 into their think. Just counting on people still caring about 2521 01:51:53.680 --> 01:51:56.560 that franchise as much as they did when Inquisition came 2522 01:51:56.600 --> 01:52:00.359 out was a pretty big ask, So something some kind 2523 01:52:00.399 --> 01:52:02.920 of again that was be the whole trilogy. Doing something 2524 01:52:02.960 --> 01:52:06.079 with Dragon Age one in that meantime could have helped. 2525 01:52:06.159 --> 01:52:08.359 And again, the Master. 2526 01:52:08.199 --> 01:52:11.239 Effect question was a huge hit that did very well. 2527 01:52:12.359 --> 01:52:14.479 Yep, very and it's you know, and people could still 2528 01:52:14.479 --> 01:52:16.199 play that now get it for like five bucks. 2529 01:52:16.039 --> 01:52:17.600 At any moment. It's gonna sell for forever. 2530 01:52:19.119 --> 01:52:23.239 Okay. Night Dive and ID Software have released definitive remasters 2531 01:52:23.319 --> 01:52:25.520 of first person classics Hairtic and Hexson. We talked about 2532 01:52:25.520 --> 01:52:26.760 those games, so we don't have to go on too much. 2533 01:52:26.800 --> 01:52:29.840 But they did shadow drop it for fifteen dollars. It's 2534 01:52:29.880 --> 01:52:32.399 on Xbox and PC. I think it's on switch. I'm 2535 01:52:32.399 --> 01:52:35.319 playing it on switches right there? Yeah, right, so that 2536 01:52:35.600 --> 01:52:39.319 now so freaking cool? Yeah, oh yeah, that it was cool. 2537 01:52:39.680 --> 01:52:42.159 I love yeah, we we love you. 2538 01:52:42.279 --> 01:52:44.920 Night dive and they they did tease that at when 2539 01:52:44.960 --> 01:52:46.720 we had them on our show, We're gonna have something 2540 01:52:46.760 --> 01:52:51.199 at Quake Quake Con, and that was it. I can't 2541 01:52:51.239 --> 01:52:53.239 wait to see what they do next, like you know, 2542 01:52:53.319 --> 01:52:55.319 next year's Quake Con, while they have something else, like 2543 01:52:55.439 --> 01:52:58.680 could they do some of the like later Wolfenstein games. 2544 01:52:58.760 --> 01:53:01.279 Even even that would be return to Castle Wolf and 2545 01:53:01.479 --> 01:53:03.520 you know Wolfen's signed three D. It doesn't actually have 2546 01:53:03.560 --> 01:53:08.079 a great remeister. I think, oh yeah, yeah Wolfstein. 2547 01:53:07.760 --> 01:53:08.640 Yeah that'd be great. 2548 01:53:09.840 --> 01:53:13.720 Okay, new Hell Divers to Xbox trailer. Xbox trailer seemingly 2549 01:53:13.800 --> 01:53:17.319 teases a Halo crossover. Uh they played the saxophone part 2550 01:53:17.520 --> 01:53:20.199 from Halo ods T in the trailer. Do you guys 2551 01:53:20.279 --> 01:53:23.239 think that means we get some like some skins that 2552 01:53:23.279 --> 01:53:24.760 are Halo crossovers for this game. 2553 01:53:25.000 --> 01:53:26.680 Sure, that would make a lot of sign I think 2554 01:53:26.720 --> 01:53:28.680 it makes a lot of sense. Yeah, I feel like 2555 01:53:28.760 --> 01:53:31.319 the Spartans are dumb and they would fit in well 2556 01:53:31.439 --> 01:53:32.640 with Hell Divers. 2557 01:53:32.680 --> 01:53:38.159 Now, wait, in a second, odst there were Spartans. Well 2558 01:53:38.239 --> 01:53:44.800 I'm general, I'm stupid, but those characters are also dummy. 2559 01:53:44.920 --> 01:53:49.399 So yeah, they said Philly was in that man. 2560 01:53:49.520 --> 01:53:53.880 For sure, they are the odst Crew or the Himbos. 2561 01:53:54.399 --> 01:53:57.800 They're definitely somewhere in between. Yeah, I think the pavilion 2562 01:53:57.840 --> 01:54:00.640 is always playing Himbos, right, that's kind of his that's stick. 2563 01:54:02.319 --> 01:54:02.800 Pokemon. 2564 01:54:02.920 --> 01:54:07.039 McDonald's promo ends early in Japan due to extreme demand 2565 01:54:07.279 --> 01:54:12.960 and wasted food. Sure this sounds like the McDonald's away. Yes, 2566 01:54:14.359 --> 01:54:16.199 they were taking the cards out and there was like 2567 01:54:16.640 --> 01:54:18.600 like giant piles of McDonald's in. 2568 01:54:18.600 --> 01:54:21.479 The corner of I'm gonna make stand against this. This 2569 01:54:21.760 --> 01:54:22.680 is unacceptable. 2570 01:54:24.119 --> 01:54:26.600 It was very upsetting because they were just happy meals 2571 01:54:26.640 --> 01:54:30.199 around garbage cans, and garbage cans, as people know, very 2572 01:54:30.239 --> 01:54:31.399 hard to come by in Japan. 2573 01:54:31.920 --> 01:54:32.720 Right, all those. 2574 01:54:32.600 --> 01:54:35.399 Friends, I thought they were well behaved in Japan, Like 2575 01:54:35.680 --> 01:54:39.000 we handled Beanie babies better than this beanies. 2576 01:54:39.039 --> 01:54:42.479 We were mildly respectful about Sean, like you're more up 2577 01:54:42.520 --> 01:54:44.560 to date on the Pokemon TCG right now, right? 2578 01:54:44.680 --> 01:54:44.880 Yeah? 2579 01:54:46.119 --> 01:54:50.600 What what collection or like was this a McDonald's specific one? 2580 01:54:50.680 --> 01:54:50.880 Yeah? 2581 01:54:51.039 --> 01:54:53.279 Every time that they basically do it every year at 2582 01:54:53.319 --> 01:54:56.520 this point, there's just a set of McDonald's stamped cards 2583 01:54:56.840 --> 01:55:01.159 that they do with the happy meals, and it's not 2584 01:55:01.439 --> 01:55:03.840 like actual fans doing this. I want to make this 2585 01:55:04.279 --> 01:55:06.840 very clear. It's the scalpers. Yeah, because they think they 2586 01:55:06.920 --> 01:55:09.279 can turn all yeah. Yeah, it's because they think they 2587 01:55:09.359 --> 01:55:12.039 can turn a buck because there's like artificial demand for 2588 01:55:12.119 --> 01:55:14.119 It's the same thing that's going out with used video 2589 01:55:14.199 --> 01:55:17.920 games of someone thinking that they, in case Super Mario 2590 01:55:18.000 --> 01:55:20.920 sixty four, it's worth a million dollars. It's fucking not. 2591 01:55:21.119 --> 01:55:24.319 Everyone has Mario sixty four. Don't be stupid. But that's 2592 01:55:24.520 --> 01:55:27.079 going on here is that the scalpers come in, they 2593 01:55:27.159 --> 01:55:30.479 buy up all this stuff. They're incredibly disrespectful to wherever 2594 01:55:30.600 --> 01:55:32.479 they may be while they're doing this. That's how we 2595 01:55:32.560 --> 01:55:35.439 get stuff like, yeah, people wasting food because they wanted 2596 01:55:35.479 --> 01:55:36.640 to get the Pikachu. 2597 01:55:36.279 --> 01:55:36.800 Part or whatever. 2598 01:55:36.960 --> 01:55:40.800 It sucks. I like this comment from sad Bastard Pochey Club. 2599 01:55:40.880 --> 01:55:42.399 I feel like this is one of those things that 2600 01:55:42.439 --> 01:55:46.960 would have made God destroy a city in the Bible. Yeah. Yeah, 2601 01:55:47.319 --> 01:55:48.279 Gomorra has happening. 2602 01:55:48.640 --> 01:55:50.760 I'll say, at least, like you know, I've heard that 2603 01:55:50.960 --> 01:55:55.800 in the US, some people were like, if you're McDonald's, 2604 01:55:55.840 --> 01:55:59.079 didn't let you just buy the toy individually, which I've 2605 01:55:59.079 --> 01:56:02.159 found a lot of them just do that. Now they 2606 01:56:02.199 --> 01:56:03.880 would at least like give the happy meals to like 2607 01:56:03.920 --> 01:56:06.039 homeless shelters and stuff. I'm like, okay, well, if you're 2608 01:56:06.079 --> 01:56:08.560 gonna be weird about this whole collection thing, at least 2609 01:56:08.600 --> 01:56:08.800 that's a. 2610 01:56:08.800 --> 01:56:09.720 Better way to go about it. 2611 01:56:10.920 --> 01:56:12.840 The thing was gonna last for three days. They ended 2612 01:56:12.880 --> 01:56:13.800 it after one day. 2613 01:56:14.399 --> 01:56:17.359 So it's like that sauce from a Rick and Morty. 2614 01:56:17.560 --> 01:56:20.680 It's another McDonald's sauce. 2615 01:56:20.720 --> 01:56:21.760 I protested that one. 2616 01:56:22.159 --> 01:56:26.520 Yeah, it's pretty good sauce. Uh, okay, we're gonna keep 2617 01:56:26.520 --> 01:56:31.119 going here. Weapons directors. Who is apparently just the guy 2618 01:56:31.239 --> 01:56:35.960 from Whitest Kids. You know you didn't know this girl had? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 2619 01:56:36.920 --> 01:56:39.399 So there's him, and there's the guy from Nirvana, the 2620 01:56:39.439 --> 01:56:44.159 band the show.

His first movie 2625 01:56:56.439 --> 01:56:58.640 was The Whitest Kids, you know, spin off the Civil 2626 01:56:58.720 --> 01:57:02.359 War on drugs, and that movie is like a modern 2627 01:57:02.720 --> 01:57:04.279 Monty Python.

Okay, I kind of get I'm good 2655 01:58:03.039 --> 01:58:03.199 with that. 2656 01:58:03.600 --> 01:58:06.279 Yeah, sure, I don't know. It's like I get that, 2657 01:58:07.000 --> 01:58:09.159 but it's also like, I don't know if I'm saying 2658 01:58:09.159 --> 01:58:10.800 the Resident Evil movie. I think I want to see 2659 01:58:10.840 --> 01:58:13.439 a Joe Valentine or you know, he may be a 2660 01:58:13.520 --> 01:58:16.439 Chris Redfield, like even one of the smaller characters like 2661 01:58:16.479 --> 01:58:18.159 gave me have a Rebecca Chambers. 2662 01:58:18.680 --> 01:58:19.119 I don't know. 2663 01:58:19.319 --> 01:58:22.039 I like it when those characters like show up in 2664 01:58:22.199 --> 01:58:24.880 the plot, but they are not the main characters. Like 2665 01:58:25.000 --> 01:58:28.439 the story follows a different story that's happening at the 2666 01:58:28.479 --> 01:58:31.319 same time as like Raccoon City events or something like that, 2667 01:58:31.720 --> 01:58:35.720 So nothing else. Everyone's gonna just compare it to Resident. 2668 01:58:35.399 --> 01:58:37.520 Evil one or two or whatever you're making an adaptation. 2669 01:58:37.600 --> 01:58:40.319 Yeah, remember the OC we got well first off in 2670 01:58:40.359 --> 01:58:43.479 the other Middle El movies, but also in Mortal Kombat. 2671 01:58:43.199 --> 01:58:44.439 Right, I was just thinking of the same thing. I 2672 01:58:44.479 --> 01:58:48.439 didn't really didn't like that. Yeah, it's funny the Mortal 2673 01:58:48.520 --> 01:58:50.800 Kombat two trailer, which which I saw him front something. 2674 01:58:50.840 --> 01:58:52.880 It's like that I did not that guy might have 2675 01:58:52.920 --> 01:58:55.439 been that trailer. They sure weren't talking about my background. 2676 01:58:55.560 --> 01:58:59.760 That's a Johnny Cage move. Yeah, you know what, it's better, 2677 01:59:00.279 --> 01:59:01.760 And I think I think a lot of people are 2678 01:59:01.760 --> 01:59:03.840 gonna applaud this decision that we're gonna see this movie 2679 01:59:03.840 --> 01:59:06.800 and maybe like, oh just said that OC. 2680 01:59:07.039 --> 01:59:10.960 It was Leon Kennedy, I don't know. Yeah, I think 2681 01:59:11.000 --> 01:59:12.720 there's a way to pull it off. But Mike, I 2682 01:59:12.760 --> 01:59:14.760 think you're probably right. I think that this is gonna 2683 01:59:14.760 --> 01:59:16.800 be a thing where, uh, you know, it's that was 2684 01:59:16.800 --> 01:59:19.079 an okay movie, but it didn't feel like a Resident 2685 01:59:19.119 --> 01:59:20.960 Evil movie or I didn't get a chance to spend 2686 01:59:20.960 --> 01:59:23.079 time with those characters I really like, which can go 2687 01:59:23.159 --> 01:59:24.479 a long way. But we'll see. 2688 01:59:24.720 --> 01:59:28.000 I bet, I say Christians people like you know, it's 2689 01:59:28.000 --> 01:59:30.600 because these are zombie movies, not character based things as 2690 01:59:30.680 --> 01:59:31.680 much as more comp I think. 2691 01:59:31.600 --> 01:59:32.880 There's a difference. I don't know if I agree. 2692 01:59:32.920 --> 01:59:35.479 I think Resident Evil A large part of that is 2693 01:59:35.560 --> 01:59:37.439 I liked those characters a lot, and. 2694 01:59:37.479 --> 01:59:40.359 I kind of get but you can even like Seven 2695 01:59:40.800 --> 01:59:44.199 was like not even really like imagine seven everyone seemed 2696 01:59:44.199 --> 01:59:46.800 to love and that doesn't really have anyone outside of 2697 01:59:46.840 --> 01:59:49.279 a cameo or so, you know, it's a your original 2698 01:59:49.319 --> 01:59:49.960 set of characters. 2699 01:59:50.600 --> 01:59:53.359 Also like a fighting game movie where fighting games are 2700 01:59:53.720 --> 01:59:57.079 just the characters yea combat, you know, like there's Laura 2701 01:59:57.119 --> 01:59:59.560 in everything that they have like established over the years, 2702 01:59:59.640 --> 02:00:02.159 but those keys are just about the characters. So that's 2703 02:00:02.199 --> 02:00:02.960 what we're in the middle. 2704 02:00:03.159 --> 02:00:04.920 But like I get somewhere in the middle, like like 2705 02:00:05.279 --> 02:00:07.359 both of these things can be true where it's like, yes, 2706 02:00:07.399 --> 02:00:09.960 the Residevil games are capable of introducing new characters, and 2707 02:00:10.079 --> 02:00:12.199 if it feels like that, if it feels like a 2708 02:00:12.319 --> 02:00:15.239 succession to just like the storytelling, then that would be good. 2709 02:00:16.000 --> 02:00:18.119 But I think that at the same time, I missed it. 2710 02:00:18.159 --> 02:00:21.159 I think the problem from a real quick comment from 2711 02:00:21.199 --> 02:00:23.760 samo Nis in the chat, Mike has seen like two 2712 02:00:24.000 --> 02:00:28.239 non animated movies every movies, I don't see very many. 2713 02:00:28.760 --> 02:00:30.760 Does live action now come on, guys? 2714 02:00:30.840 --> 02:00:35.880 Yeah, yeah, though just about rising seven to eight? Though, yeah, 2715 02:00:35.880 --> 02:00:38.239 you're right, those are great. But like, what's everybody's usually 2716 02:00:38.319 --> 02:00:40.720 least favorite part about it? It's Ethan Winter's right, it 2717 02:00:40.840 --> 02:00:41.840 is that main character. 2718 02:00:42.000 --> 02:00:45.000 But like, I think the problem here is that so often, 2719 02:00:45.199 --> 02:00:48.800 like with Resident Evil itself, they haven't pulled off doing 2720 02:00:48.920 --> 02:00:51.000 their own things. So people just look at that and say, oh, 2721 02:00:51.000 --> 02:00:52.239 well that's bad, because it's bad. 2722 02:00:52.319 --> 02:00:53.000 Are the time to do it? 2723 02:00:53.239 --> 02:00:55.279 What if the movies just didn't suck? What they just 2724 02:00:55.399 --> 02:00:56.079 made a good movie? 2725 02:00:57.079 --> 02:01:01.359 There were like seven or whatever The Evil and already 2726 02:01:01.479 --> 02:01:02.760 a reboot that happened. 2727 02:01:03.279 --> 02:01:06.720 No, you know I love those good No, No, Danny, 2728 02:01:06.720 --> 02:01:08.960 you first, please, we love those characters obviously, but they 2729 02:01:09.000 --> 02:01:11.119 work in a video game, like they're not exactly like 2730 02:01:11.520 --> 02:01:15.680 masterpieces of writing or story, and and they've done some 2731 02:01:15.840 --> 02:01:18.079 of the like fan service, like I me and Tim 2732 02:01:18.199 --> 02:01:21.960 Terry watched one of the recent resumes very much like 2733 02:01:22.039 --> 02:01:24.079 a fan service, you like, remember when this happened in 2734 02:01:24.159 --> 02:01:27.359 the games, and like it sucked, you know, like I 2735 02:01:27.479 --> 02:01:29.600 find with to make a real movie, you know.

You don't know, kids, come on, it's okay, Mario. 2808 02:04:42.279 --> 02:04:44.199 I like the idea of monetizing the kids early. 2809 02:04:46.039 --> 02:04:47.479 Oh that's why we got to get our plus she's 2810 02:04:47.560 --> 02:04:49.640 going right, yeah, extract. 2811 02:04:49.279 --> 02:04:50.159 Value from the children. 2812 02:04:50.199 --> 02:04:50.520 Of course. 2813 02:04:50.720 --> 02:04:52.560 Well you say something bespoke, do you mean like a 2814 02:04:52.720 --> 02:04:54.640 game in this line? Is that what you're looking for? 2815 02:04:55.920 --> 02:04:58.560 Just a game that like recognizes that you are putting 2816 02:04:58.680 --> 02:05:01.960 the building block Ambo on there. It's like, oh, that's 2817 02:05:02.000 --> 02:05:04.199 the building block Ambo, and we're acknowledging that. 2818 02:05:05.199 --> 02:05:07.359 Yeah, Mario Maker for kids. 2819 02:05:08.199 --> 02:05:11.439 Okay, actually I would. I'll give my kids. That'd be fantastic. 2820 02:05:12.159 --> 02:05:15.199 Last couple of stories here, Sony CFO says it's live 2821 02:05:15.319 --> 02:05:18.239 service shift is not entirely going smoothly. I think I 2822 02:05:18.279 --> 02:05:21.119 could be a CFO then so too. Yeah, as we 2823 02:05:21.119 --> 02:05:23.560 could have told you that. They also pledged to carry 2824 02:05:23.600 --> 02:05:26.239 on and learn from mistakes. They pointed out they have 2825 02:05:26.359 --> 02:05:30.720 had successes despite you know, problems like Ben Studios game 2826 02:05:30.800 --> 02:05:33.840 getting canceled, Bluepoint Games apparently God of War Live service 2827 02:05:33.880 --> 02:05:38.680 game getting canceled, Concord launching and then getting canceled, the 2828 02:05:38.960 --> 02:05:41.520 Destiny or Not Destiny to a marathon getting delayed till 2829 02:05:41.600 --> 02:05:44.199 next year. But despite all that, they point to stuff 2830 02:05:44.359 --> 02:05:47.640 like Grant Toresmos seven MLB, the show helldivers To, and 2831 02:05:47.760 --> 02:05:51.720 Destiny To as successes. And the fact that apparently now 2832 02:05:52.319 --> 02:05:55.359 live service spending from their first party game accounts for 2833 02:05:55.439 --> 02:05:58.600 something like forty percent of the money they make. Most 2834 02:05:58.680 --> 02:05:59.720 that's got to be destiny. 2835 02:06:00.399 --> 02:06:02.960 Now, hang on, because three of those four things just 2836 02:06:03.199 --> 02:06:06.000 existed before this big push. 2837 02:06:06.119 --> 02:06:09.000 You can't take credit for that, no, right, That's why 2838 02:06:09.039 --> 02:06:11.119 it's the CFO saying and be like, look, I don't 2839 02:06:11.119 --> 02:06:13.239 know where the money comes from. That the money's coming from, 2840 02:06:14.319 --> 02:06:17.399 so where it comes from, well, I mean she doesn't 2841 02:06:17.439 --> 02:06:20.279 know like the fact that like, are they responsible for 2842 02:06:20.399 --> 02:06:23.600 generating the value in the first place? No, but are 2843 02:06:23.680 --> 02:06:25.319 they getting that money now? Yes. 2844 02:06:25.520 --> 02:06:29.159 That's the reason that they would do a health divers is. Basically, 2845 02:06:29.199 --> 02:06:31.760 what they're pulling towards is like, hey, live service is 2846 02:06:31.760 --> 02:06:33.039 where a lot of our money comes from. 2847 02:06:33.159 --> 02:06:36.439 Let's lean into that. They're trying to justify it. Yep, 2848 02:06:37.319 --> 02:06:40.640 So they're gonna keep doing this stuff, and uh yeah, 2849 02:06:41.039 --> 02:06:43.439 I guess maybe it's like a hard to turn a 2850 02:06:43.479 --> 02:06:46.960 ship around sort of situation where they have continued funding 2851 02:06:47.039 --> 02:06:50.359 their first party traditional style games at the same rate 2852 02:06:50.439 --> 02:06:52.199 that they had been so we can kind of just 2853 02:06:52.319 --> 02:06:55.159 keep expecting that, And maybe they're not ready to be like, okay, 2854 02:06:55.159 --> 02:06:57.520 we're going completely back in that direction because that's expensive 2855 02:06:57.560 --> 02:06:59.399 to like start up a new studio or to take 2856 02:06:59.399 --> 02:07:01.000 a naughty dog and be like hey, spin up a 2857 02:07:01.079 --> 02:07:04.119 new team. You can't just do that overnight. So I 2858 02:07:04.199 --> 02:07:05.760 think this is then being like, look, let's just try 2859 02:07:05.800 --> 02:07:07.560 to stick it out with Live Service. Maybe we had 2860 02:07:07.560 --> 02:07:09.479 a couple of strikes in a row, but it's fun 2861 02:07:09.560 --> 02:07:13.760 because fair Games is coming soon. Fair Games also a 2862 02:07:13.880 --> 02:07:17.119 problem Jade Raymond has left the studio responsible for that company. 2863 02:07:17.239 --> 02:07:19.439 So yeah, I think I go back to my default 2864 02:07:19.479 --> 02:07:22.680 stance on live service games, which is no one ever 2865 02:07:22.760 --> 02:07:24.920 learns from mistakes, and you have to go through it yourself. 2866 02:07:25.079 --> 02:07:27.079 That's the only mistake you ever learned from is that 2867 02:07:27.199 --> 02:07:29.600 the team did it themselves, and now they know not 2868 02:07:29.720 --> 02:07:30.439 to do that anymore. 2869 02:07:30.479 --> 02:07:33.279 They found out the stove is hot, So yeah. 2870 02:07:34.640 --> 02:07:38.039 All right, Marathon is still coming this fiscal year, though 2871 02:07:38.159 --> 02:07:40.359 got delayed till next year. It's still going to come 2872 02:07:40.399 --> 02:07:44.640 out before March, according to that CFO, So yeah, not 2873 02:07:44.800 --> 02:07:46.960 a ton of time to like change up what that 2874 02:07:47.199 --> 02:07:50.319 game is so expected to still be the extraction shooter 2875 02:07:50.359 --> 02:07:52.039 they always promised to be, which they never said they 2876 02:07:52.079 --> 02:07:54.760 were going to change, but I think I had hopes 2877 02:07:54.800 --> 02:07:57.479 that they would try to do something more. An extra 2878 02:07:57.800 --> 02:07:59.800 six months probably isn't enough time to do that. Some 2879 02:08:00.399 --> 02:08:03.079 enough time to erase all of the art you stole. 2880 02:08:03.199 --> 02:08:06.760 Maybe maybe, Yeah, it's just gonna be one of the 2881 02:08:06.800 --> 02:08:10.800 most interesting games to watch, because what happens if it's 2882 02:08:10.880 --> 02:08:13.159 not a hit and it just like you know, you 2883 02:08:13.439 --> 02:08:15.399 don't discount it entirely. Yet it's not like a fair 2884 02:08:15.479 --> 02:08:17.840 Games thing where I'm going to be shocked if that thing's. 2885 02:08:18.000 --> 02:08:21.439 Lance Marathon still has a shot. But boy, there seems 2886 02:08:21.479 --> 02:08:23.920 like there is very much a world where this doesn't 2887 02:08:24.159 --> 02:08:26.000 find an audience at all. 2888 02:08:26.319 --> 02:08:31.520 And then what yep, all right? That is going to 2889 02:08:31.560 --> 02:08:32.960 do it for the news other than you should go 2890 02:08:33.039 --> 02:08:36.640 to Enormous Explosive dot com.

I like the ticker and the 2909 02:09:29.159 --> 02:09:29.760 bomb twelve. 2910 02:09:30.039 --> 02:09:31.199 This is this is good stuff. 2911 02:09:31.239 --> 02:09:34.479 I liked when Chuck asked for help finding another accent 2912 02:09:34.640 --> 02:09:37.760 color besides just the the you know, the the white 2913 02:09:37.840 --> 02:09:39.680 and the black and the yellow that we use. And 2914 02:09:39.880 --> 02:09:42.319 as always I just default to pick a color from 2915 02:09:42.399 --> 02:09:43.640 the GameCube controller. 2916 02:09:44.720 --> 02:09:49.279 These do purpose. Maybe maybe this, uh was this indigo? 2917 02:09:49.439 --> 02:09:50.000 Is this indigo? 2918 02:09:50.079 --> 02:09:50.520 Purple? This? 2919 02:09:50.840 --> 02:09:52.640 Yeah, this is their end to goo. All the GameCube 2920 02:09:52.680 --> 02:09:53.840 colors are just so freaking good. 2921 02:09:53.880 --> 02:09:55.479 Oh yeah, so nice. 2922 02:09:56.359 --> 02:10:00.840 Okay, all right, jam We're gonna give Mike some alone 2923 02:10:00.880 --> 02:10:03.279 time with a GameCube controller and we will be back 2924 02:10:03.359 --> 02:10:05.840 with emails in super chats right after this. 2925 02:10:06.239 --> 02:10:17.439 Ma's good.

Dan has 2933 02:10:40.880 --> 02:10:43.600 mentioned several times in the past that Pizza Hut is 2934 02:10:43.680 --> 02:10:46.079 the number one pizza in America, as if it is 2935 02:10:46.399 --> 02:10:50.520 common knowledge. Is Dan three point zero ready to accept 2936 02:10:50.560 --> 02:10:53.680 that this isn't true. It is Domino's by a large margin. 2937 02:10:53.920 --> 02:10:56.359 He can look it up. It's not an opinion, it's fact. 2938 02:10:57.760 --> 02:11:01.520 Yes, m you know, growing up in Kansas City, I've 2939 02:11:01.600 --> 02:11:04.720 seemed like Pizza Hut was the most you know, visible 2940 02:11:05.199 --> 02:11:07.560 and heavily marketed and eaten. Like it was the default 2941 02:11:07.600 --> 02:11:09.359 if you're saying, hey, let's order a pizza. Whether it's 2942 02:11:09.359 --> 02:11:11.680 my house, of friend's house, or anything, it was always 2943 02:11:11.720 --> 02:11:13.560 Pizza Hut six four eight eight eight eight. 2944 02:11:13.800 --> 02:11:16.600 That was the number. Like that was the thing. 2945 02:11:16.760 --> 02:11:19.039 Like I don't ever remember getting Dominoes as a kid, 2946 02:11:19.119 --> 02:11:21.319 even though it was around. It always seemed like a 2947 02:11:21.359 --> 02:11:25.319 distant number two, like a Arci Cola to Pizza Hut's 2948 02:11:25.640 --> 02:11:26.239 Coca Cola. 2949 02:11:27.399 --> 02:11:28.119 As I have. 2950 02:11:28.239 --> 02:11:29.920 Gotten older and I've now lived in a lot of 2951 02:11:30.000 --> 02:11:32.319 different areas, I do find that there is a much 2952 02:11:32.359 --> 02:11:37.640 bigger prevalence of Dominoes. And I'll say it, I prefer it. 2953 02:11:38.119 --> 02:11:40.760 I you know I am within a Pizza Hut delivery zone. 2954 02:11:40.840 --> 02:11:43.479 Now I have not ordered it once. I've had Dominoes 2955 02:11:43.880 --> 02:11:45.079 twenty times since I've been back. 2956 02:11:45.159 --> 02:11:48.600 So Dominoes is like you shouldn't eat pizza ever day, 2957 02:11:48.600 --> 02:11:50.960 but it's in everyday pizza. Pizza Hut is like, I'm 2958 02:11:50.960 --> 02:11:52.439 gonna go get Pizza Hut, Like that is where I 2959 02:11:52.680 --> 02:11:54.079 put it where I'm like, I have to decide I'm 2960 02:11:54.119 --> 02:11:56.199 in the mood for pizza. If I do just say 2961 02:11:56.199 --> 02:11:58.600 pizza and someone's like, well, we're getting Dominoes all it, Yep, 2962 02:11:58.720 --> 02:11:59.960 makes perfect sense. Yeah, let's go. 2963 02:12:00.680 --> 02:12:03.159 I think Pizza Hut was ahead on the gimmick game 2964 02:12:03.319 --> 02:12:05.560 in the nineties. I think between the Bigfoot and the 2965 02:12:05.600 --> 02:12:07.880 Triple Decker and like they still try, but it's like 2966 02:12:08.279 --> 02:12:10.560 what if the crust was like toes And it's like, 2967 02:12:10.600 --> 02:12:11.560 what that's weird. 2968 02:12:13.319 --> 02:12:15.439 If I don't care for that. 2969 02:12:15.680 --> 02:12:18.199 Yeah, you guys, you know, being just a little bit older, 2970 02:12:18.279 --> 02:12:20.720 you have more vivid memories of this time period. Help 2971 02:12:20.760 --> 02:12:22.680 me out here, because this is how I think of it. 2972 02:12:23.640 --> 02:12:26.920 Pizza Hut deemed to be better back then, and maybe 2973 02:12:26.960 --> 02:12:28.079 that's just my memory because I. 2974 02:12:28.119 --> 02:12:31.199 Was say if it was better, but it definitely seemed 2975 02:12:31.239 --> 02:12:36.640 like the most prominent. Yeah, I got my free pizza 2976 02:12:36.680 --> 02:12:37.039 every month. 2977 02:12:37.199 --> 02:12:38.600 It's the thing where you pretend to read books and 2978 02:12:38.640 --> 02:12:39.159 you get free. 2979 02:12:39.000 --> 02:12:47.560 Pizza, you know. Yeah, I like Papa John's, Papa Johnson, 2980 02:12:48.399 --> 02:12:54.359 the farmer owner, shack guy.

Also when you did 3190 02:22:30.920 --> 02:22:32.840 was it during one of the thunderstorms so everyone was 3191 02:22:32.879 --> 02:22:35.840 distracted for the other dudes?

Everyone understand. 3197 02:22:50.079 --> 02:22:52.120 When I was fourteen and my first job was at 3198 02:22:52.159 --> 02:22:55.040 a McDonald's, we had a guy there named Oph and 3199 02:22:56.040 --> 02:22:58.479 I remember, on at least one occasion, because I remember, 3200 02:22:58.479 --> 02:23:01.040 we're all pretty horrified. He was in the bathroom for 3201 02:23:01.079 --> 02:23:02.840 a long time, like during a rush, and we're like, 3202 02:23:02.840 --> 02:23:05.000 where the fuck is over?

Anyway, the picture in question, 3213 02:23:32.040 --> 02:23:33.879 I'm still trying to look for it, but it was 3214 02:23:34.799 --> 02:23:39.360 you could see the nipples on a monkey. Yeah that's fine, 3215 02:23:39.399 --> 02:23:41.239 But for that to be the first thing to greet you. 3216 02:23:41.680 --> 02:23:44.479 Get you going like, what's what's what they're saying?

Next one comes 3226 02:24:23.840 --> 02:24:27.600 from Pope High Bombers love listening to the podcast while 3227 02:24:27.639 --> 02:24:30.319 working in the lab and commuting. I'm interested in getting 3228 02:24:30.319 --> 02:24:32.959 your advice on what to do at games Com. Me 3229 02:24:33.000 --> 02:24:34.319 and my friend are going and it will be my 3230 02:24:34.399 --> 02:24:36.360 first con of any type. What do you suggest we 3231 02:24:36.399 --> 02:24:38.479 get up to Is it just a lot of entertaining 3232 02:24:38.520 --> 02:24:41.159 yourself in long lines for things. Unfortunately, the only day 3233 02:24:41.159 --> 02:24:43.719 we're able to be in Germany is Wednesday, when the 3234 02:24:43.799 --> 02:24:46.159 con is more expensive for non industry people, so I 3235 02:24:46.239 --> 02:24:47.719 want to make sure we get the most out of 3236 02:24:47.799 --> 02:24:50.239 it or things typically more busy for non press on 3237 02:24:50.360 --> 02:24:53.079 that Wednesday. Thank you, and I hope any of you 3238 02:24:53.200 --> 02:24:54.559 going to games Com have a great time. 3239 02:24:54.680 --> 02:24:55.079 Yeah, hope. 3240 02:24:55.840 --> 02:24:58.159 It's it's going to be very busy. I like incoms, 3241 02:24:58.200 --> 02:25:01.879 but it's one. It's a very very big conference, and 3242 02:25:02.000 --> 02:25:03.319 it's a very crowded. 3243 02:25:03.360 --> 02:25:05.280 Confidence a lot of those crowds are going to be 3244 02:25:05.319 --> 02:25:05.959 concentrated in. 3245 02:25:05.959 --> 02:25:09.200 Those big boosts where like your CAPCOMs are, and so 3246 02:25:09.399 --> 02:25:11.600 you know, if there's some big game you really want 3247 02:25:11.639 --> 02:25:14.159 to play, you know that might take up a big 3248 02:25:14.319 --> 02:25:16.079 chunk of your time. You're gonna have to decide how 3249 02:25:16.159 --> 02:25:17.600 much you really want to do that it might be 3250 02:25:17.719 --> 02:25:20.000 worth it. I actually thought a lot of the vendor 3251 02:25:20.520 --> 02:25:21.920 booth areas were pretty. 3252 02:25:21.639 --> 02:25:23.360 Cool, though I bought a lot of vinyls. 3253 02:25:24.200 --> 02:25:27.399 Like Disney Orcana had a booth there that wasn't crazy crowded, 3254 02:25:27.479 --> 02:25:29.600 so that was neat for me. So it is so 3255 02:25:29.680 --> 02:25:31.319 big that you're going to still be able to find 3256 02:25:32.040 --> 02:25:35.000 some areas that aren't super crazy crowded or wild. But 3257 02:25:35.200 --> 02:25:37.639 just factor in the time. If you do want to 3258 02:25:37.639 --> 02:25:39.000 go to one of those big boots, in factor in 3259 02:25:39.040 --> 02:25:41.000 the time, the things you want to do are very 3260 02:25:41.040 --> 02:25:43.120 far apart from each other. Just look at the maps, 3261 02:25:43.159 --> 02:25:46.159 because you always get crowded and it can be difficult 3262 02:25:46.280 --> 02:25:47.000 just navigating. 3263 02:25:47.360 --> 02:25:50.559 Also, there's multiple floors for some of like the buildings 3264 02:25:50.639 --> 02:25:53.639 where there's like Capcom will have a booth up top, 3265 02:25:53.799 --> 02:25:56.000 but if you go down below, there's like a bunch 3266 02:25:56.040 --> 02:25:59.520 of indie games or different like activations for stuff. 3267 02:26:00.799 --> 02:26:02.559 See if DJ astids is playing. 3268 02:26:02.879 --> 02:26:05.280 Yes, yeah, yeah, I was just going to google it 3269 02:26:05.319 --> 02:26:08.559 to see if dj Astis was playing.
