A couple of. 11 00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.000 Days, a couple of days before I assault the band 12 00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:26.719 and then I gotta do podcasts with them. But yes, 13 00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.120 this is the first side Quest. I'll be on next week. 14 00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:32.479 Lots of catchup we can do. It's the first foreman 15 00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:34.399 cast of it on, so I'm excited to do it. 16 00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:36.840 So let's do the gv quads are back. We got 17 00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.960 also the better luck this year. Kirkle Patzer, how's it going. 18 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:44.359 It's going very very well. I'm uh yeah, no, it's 19 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:45.359 it's going very well. 20 00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:47.359 I'm excited to kick off the new drafts. 21 00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:49.280 Yet I did not sound well, Yeah that was a 22 00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:53.000 sketchy very well. That sounded rehears I don't like that. 23 00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:57.200 And we have the field of Fields. Mister Titterfield, how 24 00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:59.679 are you doing, my friend? Well, I'm doing pretty good. 25 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:01.880 I'm I'm here looking for a. 26 00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:05.359 W looking for a WL see if you find it. 27 00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:07.480 This is this is, of course, the twenty twenty five 28 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.000 video game Draft. We do this every single year. We're 29 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:13.239 here a little late this year because Travis was away 30 00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:15.680 and then I didn't have internet for a bit, so 31 00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:17.599 you know, this week's episode's a bit late. It also 32 00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:19.319 probably should have been back in January, but that's just 33 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.400 how things go sometimes. I think we're just gonna skip 34 00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:24.200 kind of right to it because we're doing a lot 35 00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:25.799 of these drafts tonight, so we're just gonna get ready 36 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:28.000 to do it. As Travis mentioned, next week, we will 37 00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:30.040 have like kind of your standard side quest episode. Travis 38 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:31.799 is gonna join. We're gonna talk about all the games 39 00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:34.560 he's been playing while he's away, among other news and 40 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.120 all that good stuff as you normally can expect. But yeah, 41 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:40.519 we're getting into the draft here. So the way this 42 00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:43.480 works and the rules change a little bit before the 43 00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.120 most other pre consistent all of us, all four of us, 44 00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.400 are gonna pick five games to go on our draft, 45 00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.480 and at the end of the year we're gonna look 46 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:55.519 at all those games that release. We're gonna tally up 47 00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:58.480 all the metacritics scores, so the review scores for those games. 48 00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:03.120 Whoever is the highest overall number wins the draft. We'll 49 00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:06.079 take a quick look back at last year where we 50 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.360 have the results. The results are coming in hot and heavy. 51 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.919 Here in last place was taylor Field with four hundred 52 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.560 and eighty six points. You had one game get delayed 53 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:18.360 out of the year, that was Assassin's Creek Shadows. We'll 54 00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:20.240 see if you go to pick that one up again. 55 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:24.400 Ghost is coming out. 56 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.639 And then in third place, this is crazy, actually a 57 00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:32.240 nail Bier Kirkland with five hundred and twenty five points. 58 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:34.439 And then I had five hundred and twenty six, so 59 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.000 I literally had one more point than you. That what's 60 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:39.960 funny about that is I had a game delayed and 61 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.199 you had all of your games. So even with a 62 00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:44.719 game getting kicked out and me lack you know, whole 63 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.599 games are the points, still beat you by one point. 64 00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:49.319 But yeah, we'll see. 65 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:50.919 Do you think given all the details, you could have 66 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:51.639 just left it out. 67 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.000 You could have just left it you know, you beat 68 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:54.599 me by one point, But I appreciate you got all 69 00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:55.360 the details, then. 70 00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.800 I won't yeah, rub In south Park snow Day any anymore. 71 00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:00.400 We could leave that fort again. 72 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:02.120 I've never picked a south Park game again. 73 00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:05.560 And then in first place was Travis Snow with five 74 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:10.039 hundred and sixty five points. Really clean performance overall. Are 75 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:12.000 you feeling confident this year? You think you're gonna do 76 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:12.639 it two in a row? 77 00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:14.080 Here, I'm feeling good. 78 00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.960 I think this in many drafts now I've won. It's like, 79 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.039 can should I play it safe and go for the double? 80 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:21.919 But I think I'm gonna make some wild picks. 81 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:22.719 Maybe I'm not. I don't know. 82 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.280 Well, we'll see how goes. I haven't decided the play 83 00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.879 style yet. But I'm feeling pretty good, especially in these 84 00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.039 lady years, because this is the third two. 85 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:32.879 And twenty two. This is the fourth year we're doing 86 00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:33.560 all these drafts. 87 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:36.479 So now I feel like all those early strategies that 88 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.319 we've pulled out are out there. They're free, Like, I 89 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:40.240 don't think there's anything else people gonna pull it back. Oh, 90 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.120 I didn't think of that, So now I think it's 91 00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.319 really even playing field. I wanted to win the video 92 00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.319 game one because I think one year I was really 93 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:48.560 close and had a delay. So I'll be curious when 94 00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:50.479 a vowed comes out, Dylan and see that score and 95 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.479 see like if it would have came out, if you 96 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:53.520 would have beat me or not. 97 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:55.719 I don't know, because there's a good shot I eat it. 98 00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.120 So I think I would have. I mean, if I 99 00:03:58.199 --> 00:03:59.719 was forty points before, I don't think that game was 100 00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:01.719 gonna be less than fifty. I think it would at 101 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.120 least get a seventy five or seventy two or something 102 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:04.400 like that. 103 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:06.439 I don't say it much, but thank you Microsoft for 104 00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:08.240 making that those right moves. 105 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.199 So I'm still very excited for that game. So even 106 00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:15.039 though even though they burned me with that, so of course, 107 00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:16.920 congratulations Travis, We're gonna go through this. And then, of 108 00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:18.639 course we had did this last year. I think it 109 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:20.839 was the first time we did it where midway through 110 00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:23.079 the year we kind of all four of us got 111 00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:25.879 back together, we all drafted I think three more games, 112 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:27.279 maybe it was two. I forget if we went up 113 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:28.920 to seven or eight, but we all drafted a bunch 114 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:30.240 of more games. Because of of course, a bunch of 115 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.240 things go get announcedroughout the year, and then everything that 116 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.279 anything that was delayed officially we kicked those off our 117 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.040 lists and kind of refreshed them, and then of course 118 00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:39.600 in the final hours, me and Taylor both got screwed 119 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:41.639 with some delays there with a vowed and Assassin's creed. 120 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.279 So it can always happen. A vout happened super late 121 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:45.959 in the year. That's just how that's just the way 122 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.120 it goes. You know, you can try and pick games 123 00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:49.720 that come up earlier and try and be safe, but 124 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:51.800 then maybe you're getting less points. That's kind of part 125 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:53.279 of the whole game of it. So at some point, 126 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:55.720 probably in the summer, we will come back and do 127 00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:58.800 the not even necessarily second half, but just kind of 128 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:00.680 the second part of this, I guess you could say, 129 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:02.120 and then we kind of check in throughout the year. 130 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:05.319 In terms of rules, we of course do the classic 131 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.160 Snake draft, so one of us is gonna go first. 132 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:10.000 We'll go back and forth. Things that are not allowed, 133 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.839 anything that is currently in early access. So if it's 134 00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.240 out right now on Steam and early access, something like 135 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.199 that not allowed, you can't pick it because that game's 136 00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.920 already out. We already kind of know about it. No ports, 137 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:24.639 so you know, I think Final Fantasy Rebirth or something's 138 00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:26.480 coming on in PC soon. You can't pick that because 139 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.639 it's already it's out. It's the same game. This is 140 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.480 where it gets tricky. We've said no remasters in the past, 141 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.480 but like remakes are allowed, and that's a slippery slope 142 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:37.519 because it's such a like you know, back and forth. 143 00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:39.920 It's very close in terms of what makes what. So 144 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:41.360 we'll just have to do that on a case by 145 00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:43.240 case basis. I guess if someone tries to pick a 146 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:45.959 game that is nebulously in between, then we can do 147 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:47.879 a little on the fly call if that game is 148 00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:52.279 gonna be allowed. Am I missing anything? I guess we've 149 00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:54.720 talked about LC's. Are DLC's allowed. 150 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.279 No, I'm not. I don't think so. I don't want 151 00:05:58.279 --> 00:05:59.399 the Elden Ring thing going on. 152 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:04.240 I don't, yeah, because we didn't have Eldon Ring on 153 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:07.639 our draft last year, right that was considered a band pick, 154 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:08.240 you know. 155 00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:10.759 I'm I'm firmly against the no DLC. 156 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:13.240 I mean, last year, Taylor had a World of Warcraft, 157 00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.000 the war within that sounds like DLC to me. I 158 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.959 didn't play it, but no matter I lost, So I'm not. 159 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:23.439 I just want to get us all on the same 160 00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:26.000 page before we start picking things if. 161 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.319 Someone feels like that, because in that situation, I know 162 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.360 nothing about world of warcraft. If something comes up that 163 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:32.360 someone feels hey, that could be DLC, same thing as 164 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.800 a remaster remake, I'd say bring it up and let's 165 00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:36.680 discuss and take a look at it, because I don't know. 166 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:38.920 I didn't know if that was like a warcraft like 167 00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:40.920 a sequel or whatever, because there's some stuff that I'm 168 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:41.480 blind on. 169 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:44.759 So I'd say, if there's an iffy, throw a hand up. 170 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:48.279 You know, Okay, we will decide that when it comes up. 171 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:50.439 Can one one one of the three of you pull 172 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:55.439 up the famous Maddy Saggs Wheel of fate for us 173 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:59.279 to determine the order. I forget actually even the past 174 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.199 that we've done, like Winter picks, like I like the 175 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.000 wheel the wheel. 176 00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:05.360 No, it's always in the wheel. That's always in the wheel. 177 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:11.319 Okay, Okay. I don't know. How are you guys feeling. 178 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.360 I guess just confidence level when you did your research 179 00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.720 preparing for this. I did a little quick re listen 180 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.240 of our preview that we did like a month ago, 181 00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:19.800 just to see if I forgot anything. I'm feeling Okay. 182 00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:23.120 I think there's easily twenty games worth of juice on here, 183 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:25.680 and maybe at least like fifteen of those. I'm like, Okay, 184 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:27.800 I think these are actually very solid picks, So I'm 185 00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:29.680 feeling good. I feel like there's a deep roster that 186 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:31.079 we have of announcements this year. 187 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.000 Yeah, I feel I feel alright because I feel like 188 00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:37.839 there's two that people might not pick per se. I 189 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:40.000 could be wrong, but I feel like there's two those. 190 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:42.600 So though, if that goes good, then I figured out 191 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:44.720 my three. If those other two or maybe other people 192 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:51.079 are sniffing around them, then maybe maybe some. 193 00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:50.879 Some new moves will have to be made. 194 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:55.040 Okay, okay, all right, spin that wheel, baby. 195 00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:58.040 I wonder if it's gonna end on random. 196 00:07:57.680 --> 00:07:58.319 The poke. 197 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:05.480 The fake Pokemon got Taylor Field the perfect chance for redemption? 198 00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:08.639 Is that what you wanted? Taylor? Did you want first 199 00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:09.360 this time? Okay? 200 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:09.720 Cool? 201 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:13.720 He has a pretty juicy pick on the cusp. It seems. 202 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:20.279 Next up right between me and Travis looks. 203 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:25.439 That was like in Smash Bros. When you're so close 204 00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:27.839 alleged that your character starts like falling off. It was 205 00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:34.799 it was like that number two that's looking like you, Travis. 206 00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:37.679 You don't like that spot I like the. 207 00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:38.559 First of the whatever. 208 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.480 I think this is actually the worst spot to get 209 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:43.559 because at least with number one, if you don't get, 210 00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:45.679 you like, well, they'll miss something, so I can pick up. 211 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.039 Once you get to three, it's like yeah, probably. 212 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:51.080 Second will get stuff. Yeah, don't hate the player, I 213 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:51.600 hate the game. 214 00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:55.639 Okay, Taylor Field, you are the first one to make 215 00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:59.720 a selection. 216 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:02.000 Oh here I got. I'm happy I got first. But 217 00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:04.120 now I'm torn because there's two picks that I feel 218 00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.360 like I need to put on the I want on 219 00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:07.879 my list. I definitely want on my list because I 220 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:10.120 feel like there are already picks that you guys are 221 00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:12.559 gonna go for. One is a little bit more bolder 222 00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:18.559 than the other. So maybe, just just just to be safe, 223 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:21.639 I'll just say the stranding too, just. 224 00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:25.559 To be safe. To release date that is five. 225 00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.200 No, you said it it's too late, but like it 226 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.399 doesn't have a date, I thought. And there's even I know, 227 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:33.840 like because you guys said this comment day but I 228 00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:35.919 don't know, even hit Day last year said something and 229 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.000 they're like what percentage that he's like thirty percent done. 230 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.440 I was like, oh, everyone's like this game's twenty. 231 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.200 They going hard over Christmas. Okay, he got a good 232 00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:45.840 sixty percent for sure. 233 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:48.639 I mean when I googled it, it says twenty twenty 234 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:50.440 five right there. But I have no idea that's just. 235 00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:52.279 Never been dated, never been dated. 236 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:54.879 I'll take my chances he's not one the date thing. 237 00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:57.919 I mean, Wikipedia says it's supposed to come out this year, 238 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.480 so he is. I trust Wikipedia more than I trust 239 00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:05.519 any of you three. I think that's I would wager 240 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:07.879 that's coming out this year, but who who the heck knows? 241 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:09.919 I guess that's a rule I didn't mention, but like, 242 00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:13.559 technically you should try and pick things that are coming 243 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:15.759 out this year and not play for like picking things 244 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:17.399 that are intentionally gonna come out in the futures that 245 00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:19.440 you can drop them when we get to the second half. 246 00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:21.759 If that makes sense, you know, don't try and game 247 00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:24.399 the system in that way. If you pick something that 248 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.159 has literally announced twenty twenty six, you're not allowed to 249 00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:28.320 pick it. That's against the rules. 250 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.080 I picked sky Fall Elder scroll six. 251 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:34.320 That's sky Fall Elder scroll six. I haven't heard about one. 252 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:38.440 It's gonna be great, Okay. On the beach is off 253 00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:42.919 the beach here? That goes over to me. Now, Okay, 254 00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:44.759 So here's the thing. Every year we've done this draft. 255 00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:46.519 I think this is the fourth year. Could be wrong. 256 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.159 This fourth year, I've never won, even though on the 257 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:52.879 Video Game Guy, but I will claim that I have. 258 00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:58.320 I have had the highest average score. My my review scores, 259 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.000 Medical Rectors have been the best. I just have always 260 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.919 had games get delayed, which has dropped my number. That's 261 00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:06.919 my excuse. So I'm gonna switch up a little bit 262 00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:08.799 this year. I'm gonna go for what Kirkland has done 263 00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:11.120 in the past. We're just like pick things that are 264 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:12.799 coming out in like a few weeks, you know, the 265 00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:15.879 things that are least likely to get kicked. And so 266 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.960 I'm gonna go for Monster Hunter Wilds, which is coming 267 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:22.600 out pretty soon. I would be shocked if that game 268 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:24.399 got delayed. It's already had a bunch of previews and 269 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:26.559 things like that. People have played the game. It's coming out, 270 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:29.399 and I think March April or something like that. Mounts 271 00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:32.960 under World's last mainline game had a ninety uh. People 272 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.120 really like this series. I think this game is gonna 273 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.360 be great. I probably won't be playing it, but I 274 00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:40.960 will happily see it crack up some points on my 275 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:42.919 list here, So I'm gonna go monster Hunter Wild's my 276 00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:43.440 first pick. 277 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:44.200 Okay. 278 00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:46.440 Yeah, to be clear, Kirkland won the first two years 279 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.679 and then I won this year. So I broke Kirkland 280 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:50.600 street because he had that stupid little trophy. But you 281 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:52.679 know what, next time you see me hand it over, buddy, 282 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:54.120 that trophy is that trophy's mine? 283 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:55.279 Is even there? Do you still have it? 284 00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:56.759 Any of my horseshoe trophy? 285 00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:57.120 Yeah? 286 00:11:57.159 --> 00:11:58.559 Every year vehicle looka trophy. 287 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:00.840 Well, next recast, I do. 288 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.559 Look at this in a spot right next to Golblin. 289 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:05.480 It's gonna be so get your name on it. 290 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:07.519 Okay. So I'm very happy about this. 291 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:09.159 So this is where I said I didn't know if 292 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.039 I was gonna where I was going to get a 293 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.919 little safe or some bold picks, And now I'm film 294 00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:17.000 bold based on those two picks. And some people might think, oh, 295 00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:19.960 like what Dylan said, can he pick this game because 296 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:23.200 for their out? But no, because take two confirms this 297 00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:26.840 was today statement confirms that DJ six is still in 298 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:29.679 track for a fall twenty twenty five. 299 00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:33.679 Wikipedia posts there, well, yeah it is, it is. 300 00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:36.399 Uh so No, it's an actual statement for the company, 301 00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:39.000 not fucking just some gamer that loves Hi. 302 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:40.600 Jao Hideo. 303 00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:43.200 Going to jail. 304 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:44.360 So I'm going with GTA. 305 00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:46.200 I think there's a risk to it, but if you 306 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:48.960 look at all those scores, majority of them are all 307 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:52.159 like ninety five ninety like if it and I that's 308 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:55.159 the thing, if it hits, unless something argantuine happens. I 309 00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:58.879 think it's like a minimum ninety minimum. So I'm taking risk. 310 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:00.600 But the thing is, maybe that is when I could 311 00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:02.840 drop in the future. But I'm picking it because I 312 00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:05.320 want it, because I want to come out obviously, but 313 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:07.519 they've this like the third time this year they said 314 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:09.720 it's coming, so I have to believe them. 315 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:12.159 And if they do, I want that. That's when I 316 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:12.840 want my team. 317 00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:15.360 Maybe they'll screw me down the road, but I want 318 00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.399 the big like the Meg La Dawn you. 319 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:19.480 Know on my roster. 320 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:22.039 So that's the meg right there, That is the Meg. 321 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:25.159 Yeah, I respect that pick. I was just a little 322 00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:28.440 too worried of the even though I saw that post today. Yes, 323 00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:30.799 they did say, but that also seems like something you 324 00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:33.639 put out there so your investors are happy, you know who. 325 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:33.840 You know. 326 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:35.519 It's not like they put a trailer out there that 327 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:38.720 confirmed it. They're just trying to pease those suits, you know, 328 00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:40.279 And I'm here for the gamers. I'm not here for 329 00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:43.799 the suits. Kirkling, you have two picks back to back, 330 00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.799 so there's a lot of power in your field here. 331 00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:48.440 Yeah, it'll be power. 332 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:50.960 I feel like I don't normally get the back to back, 333 00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:54.600 so this is an exciting time. I'm kind of surprised 334 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:56.360 GTA made it all the way down. I feel like 335 00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:57.919 I was gonna take it no matter what, even though 336 00:13:57.919 --> 00:13:59.679 it is a risky pick, just because it is. 337 00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:01.600 That big megaladon. 338 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:03.360 Right here. 339 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:05.440 Yeah you so yeah. 340 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.840 I'm kudos to you, Travis forgetting that. I think I'm 341 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.240 gonna take Doom the Dark Ages here as my first pick. 342 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:14.480 So impressed, play all the gameplay trailers and everything I've seen, 343 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:18.240 I'll take it on PS five, I'll stick to the place. 344 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:23.519 Oh yeah, I guess. So medic has Metacritic has like 345 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:25.759 an aggregate thing now, so it just like combines all 346 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.840 like averages version, So I think that's cleaner. We'll just 347 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:29.320 do it that way. 348 00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:33.320 Okay, cool, I'm happy with that. So yeah, I'll take 349 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.399 Doom there. And then for my second pick, I'm gonna 350 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:39.799 go with a heart pick here. I'm gonna go split Fiction. 351 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:43.200 I'm gonna really just will this game to be like 352 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.720 a perfect you know, tan experience, and uh yeah, I'm 353 00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:48.440 happy that I'll be drafting it. 354 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:51.320 Yeah, and it Takes two has really great reviews. I 355 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.399 think it's in the nineties right or the high eighties 356 00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:56.120 at the very least, and it's coming out hundred PC, 357 00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:58.080 coming out like there's no way that's getting delayed out 358 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:00.000 of this year. So two really great picks once again, 359 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:02.679 and Kirkling, you pick the kind of first quarter early 360 00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:06.120 year things, and these are two really great picks. So 361 00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:09.039 those are definitely my my s tier picks for the night. 362 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:09.919 So nice, nice word. 363 00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:12.000 GTA was there though, I would have taken that for sure, 364 00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:15.159 so I'm sorry split Fiction would have dropped a little bit. 365 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:20.000 Okay, Well yeah, getting back to that now. Early games 366 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:23.440 just confirming some numbers. I'm pretty happy with them. It's 367 00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:24.639 gonna go with SEV seven. 368 00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.320 You take that doesn't seem like there's anything I can't take. 369 00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:30.919 Is already out. The game's already out. 370 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:32.080 Since February eleventh. 371 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:35.960 Over here, well, it already has reviews. 372 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:37.600 All right, Oh does it okay? 373 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:39.440 That's fine, Yeah, because there was like early acts that 374 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:41.399 you can like pay and then it's out now kind 375 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:43.960 of thing. I will, Honestly, I think you're maybe like 376 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:45.360 it has a decent score now, but I think it 377 00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:48.360 might drop because like it's been a pretty controversial launch. 378 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:52.000 So I will as long as it hasn't I'll take 379 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:56.159 I'll take some other release kids, dude, as long as 380 00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:59.039 this hasn't been released, I'm gonna I'm gonna steal avowed 381 00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:02.200 you know, the win last year because it was delayed. 382 00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:03.919 It's dead to me, so you can have it. 383 00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:05.360 I do feel good about it. 384 00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:07.960 The play test has gone well and that, so yeah, 385 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.559 I'm gonna take a vowt uh. And I just don't 386 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.440 feel like that's gonna get delayed into twenty twenty six. 387 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:19.080 If it does, then that stud has bigger issues than 388 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.120 I would think. But yeah, I feel good with the 389 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:23.519 valve there, so very nice. 390 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:30.399 Okay, I guess that takes it over to me. I'll 391 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:32.879 let you guys crack the code on this, but I 392 00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:36.440 have three more games in my S tier picks and 393 00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:40.559 I'm gonna go with uh. I think this one has 394 00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:44.960 a potential to drop on the Metacritic compared to its predecessor, 395 00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:48.480 but I still think it's clean ninety. I'm going Eldon 396 00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:52.799 Ring Night Rain, the three player co op DLCs. It's 397 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:57.799 not DLC, it's its own games, so that's where it's. Hey, 398 00:16:57.840 --> 00:16:59.200 you know what, if they want to sell it in 399 00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:01.720 a separate box, I will pick it for my list. 400 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:03.960 Kind of a boring pick, but I do think this 401 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:06.680
