1
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to side Quest. This is our weekly

2
00:00:22,519 --> 00:00:25,559
video game show here at geek Verse. I'm your host,

3
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,320
Dylan Musk and I hope with me the back to

4
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,120
school Kirklan patz Er. How are you doing today.

5
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,679
Speaker 2: My friend, I'm doing fantastic. As the name suggests, I

6
00:00:34,679 --> 00:00:38,039
started my back to school today, and the best news

7
00:00:38,039 --> 00:00:39,359
that came out to today is I found out I

8
00:00:39,359 --> 00:00:42,000
have two weeks off over Christmas and New Year's. I

9
00:00:42,039 --> 00:00:44,079
haven't a two weeks off for a school reason, like

10
00:00:44,119 --> 00:00:47,560
literally since grade school. So that's super super exciting. It

11
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,359
might just because of the way that it lined up,

12
00:00:49,439 --> 00:00:52,039
like with I don't know what days New Year's or whatnot,

13
00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:55,079
but yeah, I'm I'm looking forward to it, and it's

14
00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:57,280
gonna be it's gonna be cram time between now and then.

15
00:00:57,359 --> 00:00:59,759
You know, I'm gonna be a little bit down on

16
00:00:59,799 --> 00:01:01,920
the on the video game playing I think in the

17
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,640
next ten weeks here, but in those two weeks, man,

18
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,480
I'm gonna be going hard. So yeah, I'm doing great.

19
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: Yeah I was because you obviously just had your chip

20
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,359
to Japan, which was like two weeks. But yeah, like,

21
00:01:14,599 --> 00:01:16,200
what are you gonna do? I've even thought forward to

22
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,040
that like, Oh, in these two weeks, I'm gonna accomplish

23
00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:20,760
this thing. I want to do this thing or is

24
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,040
it more just like I'll really need that time off

25
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,159
to relax, and obviously it's around the holidays and whatnot.

26
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't have too much going on, like family

27
00:01:28,719 --> 00:01:30,680
stuff and events going on. Like I'm definitely gonna be

28
00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:33,920
doing some snowboarding days up there. I think Shay's schedule

29
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
kind of alignes that will be able to go up together,

30
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,680
so that'll be nice. But beyond that, I mean, no,

31
00:01:39,799 --> 00:01:41,560
I haven't really had time to think about that. I'm

32
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,280
sure I'll get like some sort of homework assignment during

33
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,920
that time that I'll probably completely forget about until the

34
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,319
last day before I go back, as it usually goes.

35
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:53,239
But no, I definitely am gonna be doing some some

36
00:01:53,319 --> 00:01:57,959
good gaming in there. I haven't picked anything yet, but yeah.

37
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna ask you about that because you know,

38
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,239
we were skip into what we've been playing, because neither

39
00:02:02,239 --> 00:02:03,439
of us have really been playing a whole lot the

40
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,159
last couple of weeks. We just have a big topic

41
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,560
for today. But yeah, what's next on your hit list?

42
00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:09,560
Have you? Obviously sounds like you maybe haven't thought about

43
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,919
it yet, but I'm putting you on the spot. What

44
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,840
is like the next game or series or have Do

45
00:02:13,879 --> 00:02:16,319
you have something that's like, Okay, I'm ready when I

46
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:18,479
have some time finally, maybe not in the next few

47
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,960
weeks because of school, but do you have something that's

48
00:02:21,039 --> 00:02:21,840
that's next up.

49
00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: I definitely want to get back in Elden Ring. I

50
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,000
want to close that chapter on just the main game there.

51
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,840
I'm still in the halleg Tree area. I haven't fought

52
00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:35,039
Millenia yet, but yeah, in that in that area, and

53
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,639
I booted it up well, actually yeah, I forgot. I

54
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,120
booted it up on the weekend really really briefly. I

55
00:02:41,199 --> 00:02:43,439
just felt so rusty and like I didn't have time

56
00:02:43,479 --> 00:02:46,000
to like really jump back in and like just go

57
00:02:46,039 --> 00:02:49,000
at it. So I was like kind of demor you know,

58
00:02:49,039 --> 00:02:51,879
I like died once and I was like, oh, okay, yeah,

59
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,919
I'm not ready for this. So I definitely want to

60
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,840
get back in there. And I feel like it's one

61
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,360
of those things where like because I'm just getting I

62
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:01,680
got like a random Lower elder Ring podcast that came on,

63
00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:04,199
Like I was just getting in that realm of like immersion.

64
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,520
So I mean, if I have two weeks off. It's

65
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,680
a great way to jump in there, and I think

66
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,240
it would be one of those things where I like,

67
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,240
I jump in and I just get really hooked again

68
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:17,400
and it's like I just make significant progress in like

69
00:03:17,439 --> 00:03:19,599
a serious gaming session. So I think that's just what

70
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,759
I need to really get there. Because I was talking

71
00:03:21,759 --> 00:03:23,919
to one of my friends. It's a big Souls guys.

72
00:03:24,199 --> 00:03:27,199
He's beat all of these games. He's like the expert

73
00:03:27,199 --> 00:03:30,879
that everybody just knows in the Soul's realm, and he

74
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,879
was really getting me excited about the DLC A little

75
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,400
scare me a little bit because I've heard it's just

76
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,719
like the difficulty jump is pretty insane with some of

77
00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:39,680
those bosses. But there's just so much that I've yet

78
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,639
to explore in the game. But no, I love it. It's

79
00:03:43,199 --> 00:03:45,159
the more I play it, the more I just think

80
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:48,039
it's gonna cement itself my top ten favorite games of

81
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,240
all time next time we do that updated ranking, and

82
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,599
I know we just did ours, but yeah, elder ring Man,

83
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:55,520
I think that's the next one on my list because

84
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,680
I just really really want to close that one. And

85
00:03:57,879 --> 00:04:00,400
it's type of game too that like if and when

86
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,719
I roll credits on. It's just gonna feel so satisfying

87
00:04:02,759 --> 00:04:05,680
with how much blood, sweat and tears has gone into this,

88
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,759
uh this character already.

89
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:11,159
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, yeah, absolutely, it's very cathartic journey. Uh when

90
00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:13,000
you finally when you finally beat it, but then obviously

91
00:04:13,199 --> 00:04:15,639
you have that DLC to dive into as well. Yeah, yeah,

92
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,839
I'm I'm I guess yeah, because the only thing I've

93
00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:20,600
been playing is a little bit of hit Man. Just

94
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:23,120
back in there, they announced that they're doing like an

95
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,279
Eminem DLC. He's the next elusive target. I think it's

96
00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:30,199
like you, Eminem's like on your side and you're taking

97
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:33,240
out Slim Shady or something stupid like that. I don't know.

98
00:04:33,399 --> 00:04:35,720
I don't think they've shown off which map they're doing

99
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:39,639
it for. My guess is maybe like the Germany Underground

100
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:42,399
Nightclub mission. That feels like it could be a good vibe,

101
00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:44,639
and I don't think I don't think there has been

102
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:46,720
like a celebrity one on that map before, so I

103
00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:49,360
feel like there's a good potential there. So yeah, I've

104
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,360
just been playing some Hitman and honestly kind of salty

105
00:04:51,399 --> 00:04:54,199
because I had two Freelancer runs where I failed in

106
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,839
a row where I failed on the final showdown at

107
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,920
the end of the campaign, like twenty missions in this

108
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:03,720
second one was so I don't want to get into it. It

109
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,720
was so dumb though. I just like walked into a room.

110
00:05:05,879 --> 00:05:09,439
Assassin saw me like just enough, and then he alerted

111
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,079
everyone and there was like nine people, so I'm like,

112
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,319
there's no way I'm gonna be able to do this

113
00:05:12,319 --> 00:05:14,800
in time while everyone's fleeing the level. So I had

114
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,839
a couple of salty runs there, but yeah, just looking

115
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,399
forward to checking out that new content with that drops,

116
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:21,839
and then yeah, I'm kind of just killing time until

117
00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:27,360
I got into the Marvel Token Fighting what is it

118
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,759
called Marvel Token Fighting Souls. Yeah, that's what it's cool.

119
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,720
I got into the beta for that. So that's like

120
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:33,920
the first week of December, so I'm gonna be playing.

121
00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:36,240
I mean, I think that's like maybe just like even

122
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
seventy two hours, but I'm gonna try and play a

123
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,399
bunch of that, and then that same week Marvel Cosmic

124
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,240
Invasion comes out, So I think I'm just kind of

125
00:05:42,439 --> 00:05:45,040
twiddling my thumbs until these these up because I think

126
00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:48,240
that Hitman Delcey is also like the first week of December,

127
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,399
so I'm gonna be pretty busy with those three things

128
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:52,600
in a couple or I guess next week even so

129
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,160
kind of just doing nothing until then, which is which

130
00:05:56,199 --> 00:05:58,800
is totally fine. But yeah, that that leaves a lot

131
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,199
of room open for us to talk about a fun

132
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:05,120
topic here that I feel like this open happens for us.

133
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,399
We'd have like an impromptu ranking episode, but they're just

134
00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:10,639
fun to do. And yeah, there was very little news

135
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,480
this week, not watching the games we've been playing. So

136
00:06:12,879 --> 00:06:14,519
what we decided to do is we are gonna do

137
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:18,519
our individual top ten. Well, I guess did we even

138
00:06:18,519 --> 00:06:19,800
talk about a top ten. I don't know if we've

139
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,279
really talked about the rules of this, but we're gonna

140
00:06:21,319 --> 00:06:24,560
do our favorite team Okay, okay, cool, We're gonna do

141
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:30,040
our top ten, favorite game series, favorite game franchises. We

142
00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:33,240
can talk through what exactly that means, but I think

143
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,439
this is gonna be a fun one, I guess, just

144
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:38,839
right off the back, circling like you know, we've thought

145
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,279
about this today swirling around your head. Was it easy

146
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:43,040
and to come up with this list for you? Is

147
00:06:43,079 --> 00:06:45,000
there a bunch of honorable mentions? Do you have some

148
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,480
snubs that like, I've really only played one game in

149
00:06:47,519 --> 00:06:49,519
this series and like maybe a second one, like yeah,

150
00:06:49,639 --> 00:06:52,319
count that, Like, did you run into any walls like that?

151
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: I definitely did. It was one of those things where

152
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,199
I thought like a certain franchise was really gonna just

153
00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:59,839
pop on the list, but then I like the more

154
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,519
about I'm like, I really only like the one game,

155
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,199
and like, like, does that is that worthy of going

156
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,360
on the list because of the one game? I thought?

157
00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:09,519
Speaker 3: Not?

158
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,199
Speaker 2: So my list is you know it it. I haven't

159
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,519
played all the games on on some of these in here,

160
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,839
but like they have very significant memories across multiple titles.

161
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,399
So that was kind of like the threshold that I

162
00:07:21,439 --> 00:07:23,560
was putting on myself to to make my list here.

163
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,680
It populated really quick. So I definitely have a couple

164
00:07:28,079 --> 00:07:31,959
honorable mentions to to shout out and even yeah, never mind,

165
00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:34,639
I'll talk about when we get to those, but yeah,

166
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,439
just the structuring of them. Also, I I rearranged it

167
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,360
a few times. I'm already looking at a couple and

168
00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:41,759
I'm like, do I really want it there?

169
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: But I don't even have an order. I'm gonna be

170
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,560
hip of it.

171
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: I respect that, but no, it was it was fun

172
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,000
to kind of think back on on my journey of

173
00:07:51,079 --> 00:07:53,240
just just a gamer from from the get go and

174
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,800
just looking back on the franchisees that really just stuck, yeah,

175
00:07:56,879 --> 00:07:59,600
stuck to me. So it was a fun, fun list

176
00:07:59,600 --> 00:07:59,839
to make.

177
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah for me, like the top or at least

178
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,199
like five series where like Immediate Slam Dunks, I've played

179
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,680
like five or more games and I love like at

180
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,600
least four or five of the games in the series.

181
00:08:11,639 --> 00:08:13,759
So that's like, okay, that's that's extremely easy. I'll put

182
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,680
that on the list. And then there was others where

183
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,560
it's like, man, yeah, I love two games and like

184
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,480
maybe I've played a third one or something, but like

185
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,240
is that enough. Maybe I've just maybe I just love

186
00:08:23,319 --> 00:08:25,160
one game a lot, and then I've dabbled in much

187
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,319
of other ones, like does that make it on the list?

188
00:08:27,519 --> 00:08:29,720
And then there is so many weird ones. So I

189
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:31,279
want to I want to chuck some at you first

190
00:08:31,319 --> 00:08:34,399
just to see, like how do you even quantify this

191
00:08:34,519 --> 00:08:37,639
as a series, because some games, you know, it makes

192
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,360
a lot of sense. There's the game, and then there's

193
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,120
the game two, Game three, game four, and it's called that.

194
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:45,240
It's like, okay, well that's usually pretty straightforward. When you

195
00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:47,960
get into subtitles and stuff, sometimes it gets kind of screwy.

196
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,679
But what about what about the our favorite pink little

197
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:57,039
guy Kirby? Like, what is the Kirby series? Do you

198
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,480
break it up by two? D? There's only like one three?

199
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,159
I don't think. I don't. I was thinking about this, like,

200
00:09:02,279 --> 00:09:04,000
does is there a single Curby game with a two

201
00:09:04,039 --> 00:09:04,559
in the title?

202
00:09:06,879 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: I feel like you would know more than I. I

203
00:09:08,519 --> 00:09:08,759
don't know.

204
00:09:08,879 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: I can't think of one on the top of my head.

205
00:09:10,759 --> 00:09:13,120
Like I feel like everyone has its own subtitle, and

206
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,440
there's so many spin offs and stuff too, So like.

207
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 2: What about Mario though? Because Mario also has that, right, Like,

208
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,799
like would you have to choose? Like, because I definitely

209
00:09:21,879 --> 00:09:23,960
have Mario on my list, I guess this is spoilers,

210
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,320
but like that's also encompassing so many Mario titles that

211
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,159
I've just played in my days, So like, is that

212
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,679
kind of a gray area? Can I even have that

213
00:09:31,759 --> 00:09:32,120
on there?

214
00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:35,039
Speaker 1: Well, let's get into it, Like for Mario, are you

215
00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:37,440
are you including sports and party and cart in that

216
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,360
or just platformers? When you say Mario?

217
00:09:40,279 --> 00:09:42,879
Speaker 2: So initially, like now that I think about it, I

218
00:09:42,879 --> 00:09:45,840
feel like I would have to include those because those

219
00:09:45,879 --> 00:09:49,480
are like significant Mario titles in my mind, Like even

220
00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:51,960
just Mario Kart like that, that's like one of the

221
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,840
just funnest games I've played in my days. Uh, Like

222
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,480
Smash Bros. I guess that's not really significantly significantly a

223
00:09:58,799 --> 00:10:03,240
Mario title, But like my mind just went to the

224
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:08,960
platformers initially, okay, because there is very like there's variations

225
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,559
of those games, but they like the main engine kind

226
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,320
of feels the same, even even like the two point

227
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,320
five D, like the the later titles, I feel like

228
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,720
those kind of still have that same essence and magic there.

229
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,080
But then like my mind also goes to like Super

230
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,240
Mario Sunshine and like that was one of my favorite

231
00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:25,960
games ever. So yeah, where do I draw the line?

232
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,799
There Maybe no sports titles, I guess.

233
00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: I guess, Okay, yeah, I because I was thinking about

234
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,759
Mario as well, and I just put Mario question Mark

235
00:10:32,799 --> 00:10:36,080
on my list because like I feel like, you know,

236
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,600
there is Super Mario Bros. One, two, and three, that's

237
00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:41,840
like clearly a little trilogy. There's like Mario Galaxy one

238
00:10:41,879 --> 00:10:44,120
and two, so that obviously is like a series within

239
00:10:44,159 --> 00:10:45,879
a series. I feel like a lot of people are

240
00:10:45,919 --> 00:10:48,720
really delineated by like two D Mario games versus three

241
00:10:48,799 --> 00:10:50,759
D Mario games. And even within the T two D

242
00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:53,360
there's the Super Mario Land series where there's like three

243
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,600
or four games with numbered titles. You have the New

244
00:10:56,639 --> 00:10:58,399
Super Mario Bros. I think there's like two or three

245
00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:00,720
of those, and those are like number to well, so

246
00:11:00,759 --> 00:11:04,320
those feel like, okay, those are obviously series together. But

247
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,799
for me, I feel like I would need to pick

248
00:11:06,919 --> 00:11:08,639
two D or three D. But even then, like three

249
00:11:08,759 --> 00:11:10,840
D it's like sixty four doesn't really have a theme.

250
00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:13,120
Then you have Sunshine, then you have Galaxy, and then

251
00:11:13,159 --> 00:11:16,399
you have Odyssey. Maybe Galaxy Odyssey. That's like a spacey

252
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,519
connection there, like maybe that it seems like they're all connected.

253
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,360
But I really struggled with, like what do I count

254
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,639
in my in my Mario series, Like I feel like

255
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,679
I would I would maybe do it by two D

256
00:11:28,879 --> 00:11:31,720
or three D U for myself, but this is your list.

257
00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:34,200
You can never do that ever like you want. But

258
00:11:34,279 --> 00:11:36,600
I also don't like if I don't bundle them together,

259
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,000
I don't know if that is a top ten. I

260
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,120
feel like, to me, I need those different flavors, but

261
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,360
like I feel like those flavors are different enough that

262
00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:47,559
they kind of seem like separate series in my in

263
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,159
my head, I don't know if any of that makes sense.

264
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,039
That's just crazy rambling thoughts. I've had all day thinking

265
00:11:52,039 --> 00:11:52,519
about this.

266
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,159
Speaker 2: I feel like it's not a matter of if I

267
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,360
take away the sports titles, do the Marios go off

268
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,279
my list? I think they're still on my list with

269
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,120
or without this sports titles. But if I have all

270
00:12:01,159 --> 00:12:03,399
the sports titles, it would just be higher on my Limb.

271
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,159
Speaker 1: And Kart and Party those are three separate, like like

272
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,039
the Sports one individual, It's like this is a striker series,

273
00:12:11,159 --> 00:12:15,080
that's the Sliders Kart Party. For me, those are four

274
00:12:15,159 --> 00:12:18,440
like in my mind, it's easy to delineate those. Yeah,

275
00:12:18,519 --> 00:12:20,759
it's platformers is where it gets harder for me. And

276
00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:22,879
then obviously there's like Mario RPG. Is that part of

277
00:12:22,919 --> 00:12:26,120
the Mario series Paper Mario? That seems like another separate

278
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,440
track of like the Mario series, Right, Yeah, but it

279
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,039
can all just beat umbrellas, you know, series within series.

280
00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:39,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I am gonna go by the platformer realm,

281
00:12:40,039 --> 00:12:43,320
I think, okay, because I do have just really great

282
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,360
core memories of playing those, like two player platformer titles.

283
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 2: What was the most recent ones that Super Mario All

284
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:54,080
Stars or No Wonder, Yeah, Wonder, thank you? Yeah, Like

285
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,039
just had so much fun going through and collecting all

286
00:12:56,039 --> 00:12:58,519
the stars and stuff withche and even the one on

287
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,360
the Wii. She yeh that version when we first started dating,

288
00:13:01,399 --> 00:13:03,399
and like we played that a lot together. But then

289
00:13:03,399 --> 00:13:05,240
I'm also going back to like the Ness era and

290
00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:07,559
like going to my uncle's house and playing his old

291
00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:11,240
his consoles and that was like just early core gaming

292
00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:14,080
memories for me. So yeah, I absolutely have on that list.

293
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,879
And I mean I could just say now that that

294
00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:19,759
would be on my number ten, like at the bottom. Yeah,

295
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:21,120
I don't know. I feel like I've kind of fallen

296
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,960
out of love with the Mario titles as of late,

297
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,759
where they don't have the same no pun intended Wonder

298
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,120
for me as much as they used to. But then

299
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,159
I still get like the odd game that just blows

300
00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:30,399
my mind.

301
00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: I still love Wonder, right, and that was like last year.

302
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess. So maybe maybe a better way to

303
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,639
say is like I don't get excited for the next

304
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:39,360
Mario title.

305
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: It's more you're not like I need to play game

306
00:13:41,519 --> 00:13:42,080
in this exactly.

307
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 2: Still Switch one owner. You know, I haven't. I haven't

308
00:13:44,279 --> 00:13:46,120
raised to get switch to although is there a new

309
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,559
Mario game on the switch to? Not yet, right, just

310
00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:51,519
Mario cart okay, yeah, and then the cards aren't even

311
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:52,559
on my list, So there you go.

312
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,159
Speaker 1: Someone in the discord was saying that Donkeyong Bonanza is

313
00:13:55,159 --> 00:13:59,200
part of the Mario series. Strong disagree from me that

314
00:13:59,399 --> 00:14:01,480
that's to me a big difference there. But you know,

315
00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:02,960
if you are one of those people, maybe there is

316
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,799
a new Mario the on the switch too. But I

317
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,759
also it's funny that you mentioned that to me. That

318
00:14:07,919 --> 00:14:11,600
was another factor is like with this series, and you know,

319
00:14:11,639 --> 00:14:13,799
it could be historical, like, for example, Call of Duty

320
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,679
not a series that I clamor four anymore. I play

321
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,679
Warzone every once in a while, but even then it's

322
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,320
been a while, but I'm not like, oh, I need

323
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,320
to play every new Call of Duty and I don't

324
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,159
really care much for the series anymore, but it has

325
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,200
had a huge historical part of my life and I've

326
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,440
played a bunch of those games, And so that's tricky too,

327
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,440
because like I feel like for a game for a

328
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,240
series right now where it's like, oh, I'm one hundredercent

329
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,600
buying whatever is the next game in this series just blind.

330
00:14:36,919 --> 00:14:38,600
That obviously, to me is a sign like Okay, that's

331
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,679
probably a top ten series for me when I was

332
00:14:40,759 --> 00:14:42,840
squaring it all off. But something like Call of Duty

333
00:14:42,919 --> 00:14:44,480
is like another weird one where it's like, Okay, well,

334
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,440
I'm not really in that headspace anymore, but I still

335
00:14:47,559 --> 00:14:49,279
have a lot of love for like at least three

336
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,360
or four of these games, and then even like another

337
00:14:51,399 --> 00:14:52,879
handful of them on top of that, And I've just

338
00:14:52,879 --> 00:14:54,759
played so many, like I've probably played more Call of

339
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,519
Duty games than all except like one or two series

340
00:14:57,519 --> 00:15:00,000
on my list, just by virtue of how many those

341
00:15:00,159 --> 00:15:03,720
how many of those games there are, right, yeah, yeah,

342
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,080
and that one that one's see that one's weird too,

343
00:15:07,159 --> 00:15:09,000
like comparing it to that Mario stuff of like, Kay,

344
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,519
there's obviously the Black Ops series within the series, but

345
00:15:11,559 --> 00:15:13,360
to me, all the Call of Duty's except for like

346
00:15:13,639 --> 00:15:16,960
the Mobile one or whatever, are all one series. So

347
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,559
I don't know, it is hard to kind of separate

348
00:15:19,639 --> 00:15:20,919
some of these things sometimes.

349
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, absolutely, I feel like we just have to

350
00:15:23,159 --> 00:15:26,120
be specific with what we're when we come across those

351
00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:27,639
ones that are a little bit different.

352
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,879
Speaker 1: M Yeah, what were some other I mean, Zelda is

353
00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:34,600
another thing where it's like, okay, do you the three

354
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,960
D ones, like the Top down ones? Are they all

355
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,240
part of the same even though they're not really sequels

356
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,240
very often, Like there is a couple of sequels like

357
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,039
like Breath Wild and The Kingdom. To me, they that

358
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,919
all still does feel like the same series though, except

359
00:15:46,919 --> 00:15:49,360
for like Links Crossbow Training and weird spin offs.

360
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,879
Speaker 2: And yeah, I I encompass all of those, like even

361
00:15:53,879 --> 00:15:57,320
the DS ones, and even like certain titles that maybe

362
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,120
I haven't gotten to because they are just on different

363
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,559
consoles that I've actually too. I just feel like the

364
00:16:01,639 --> 00:16:04,759
Zelda franchise as a whole is just special enough to

365
00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:07,600
me to you know, warrant warrant for me to just

366
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,159
blanket all of them in there, like not well, I

367
00:16:10,159 --> 00:16:12,840
guess Links Crossbow Training I could leave that one off,

368
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,720
but just at the other day, Zelda titles as a whole,

369
00:16:15,799 --> 00:16:18,320
I think that would be my kind of definition for

370
00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:22,840
that and spoiler that might be on my list somewhere also, yeah,

371
00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:23,440
and just funny.

372
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: One of the other lists that we were considering doing

373
00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:30,000
for today was ranking our top trilogies, and that also

374
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,759
kind of connects with this in some way where I

375
00:16:31,799 --> 00:16:35,080
was thinking about, like, hmm, with Halo, like is one, two,

376
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,559
and three, like that is a trilogy? But then like

377
00:16:37,639 --> 00:16:39,919
it keeps going and then there's like ods T which

378
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,279
is like a spinoff of three that has like a

379
00:16:42,399 --> 00:16:44,840
second disc with maps for Halo three. So it's like,

380
00:16:45,399 --> 00:16:47,480
I like that was something I was thinking about. Two

381
00:16:47,559 --> 00:16:50,200
is like games that have more than three games, because

382
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,240
there's a couple on my list here that are like, yeah,

383
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,320
there's only three games in this in this series? Is

384
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,480
that enough? Is that enough Jews for it to be

385
00:16:57,519 --> 00:16:59,360
a top ten series thing? Or do I need does

386
00:16:59,399 --> 00:17:02,080
there need to be just like quantity? So I don't know. I,

387
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,240
like I said, I still don't actually have my list

388
00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:06,799
figured out, so it's gonna be very off the cuff

389
00:17:06,839 --> 00:17:08,799
of what what makes it in the list at the

390
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,359
at the end of the day. But do you want

391
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,279
to start with honorable mentions or do you want to

392
00:17:13,279 --> 00:17:16,119
do honorable mentions when we're done the top ten?

393
00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 2: Uh, maybe I'll leave them at the end actually because

394
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,200
I might even might even just yeah, I might think

395
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,400
of some along the way that I that I haven't

396
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:29,079
warranted on my.

397
00:17:29,079 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: List, So okay, yeah, it sounds good. I like, I

398
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,440
like that idea, so, uh kick it off, Kirklan, what

399
00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:36,599
is your number ten? You already kind of said, but

400
00:17:36,599 --> 00:17:40,480
I'll maybe already, So what is your number ten favorite

401
00:17:40,519 --> 00:17:41,359
game series?

402
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I mentioned already. I'm gonna put the Mario

403
00:17:45,319 --> 00:17:49,920
platformer titles specifically in here. Yeah, I kind of already

404
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,279
talked about it, but just early memories. Although I didn't

405
00:17:53,559 --> 00:17:58,240
own a Nintendo device, like early on, still new like

406
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,079
had neighbors, my cousin or my cousin and my uncle

407
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,240
had one, so like just everybody had the Nintendo system

408
00:18:04,279 --> 00:18:06,119
and like that was the era where Nintendo was just

409
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,920
the king of kings when it came to consoles. And yeah,

410
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,240
it was just very simple formula. And I feel like

411
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,799
whether I was playing like a mini clip flash game

412
00:18:16,839 --> 00:18:18,519
that was just like a rip off of Mario. Like there,

413
00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:20,039
it just it just seemed like that was kind of

414
00:18:20,039 --> 00:18:23,599
the blueprint for a long time and they just did

415
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,680
so well and then leads into something like Super Mario Maker,

416
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,039
which is just insane that some of the creatives can

417
00:18:29,079 --> 00:18:32,079
get going on with. Yeah, just just what they can

418
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,160
do on making maps and have different retro styles on them,

419
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,359
and yeah, just just keep into like that same blueprint structure.

420
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,799
I feel like although platformers aren't like my main genre,

421
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,599
I still just have such a special place in my

422
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,000
heart for the reason like with Marios and then also

423
00:18:49,079 --> 00:18:50,599
just like flash game, I feel like there's so many

424
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,319
flash games that were platformers, and I do believe that

425
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,359
kind of my my love for that stems from my

426
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,440
early exposure to to the Mario games. And yeah, love

427
00:19:00,519 --> 00:19:02,160
like the co op addition to it. I think if

428
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,400
it fits so well, I really hope Nintendo doesn't really

429
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,480
get away from that, Like they always stick to what

430
00:19:09,559 --> 00:19:11,839
kind of got them going, and you know, you can

431
00:19:11,839 --> 00:19:14,759
still modernize it. So Mario Wonder did such a great

432
00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:17,000
job with that of just the little animation details, Like

433
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,960
it was just really really cute game that was pretty simple,

434
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,680
but like still they added some some modern twists to it.

435
00:19:23,799 --> 00:19:29,440
So yeah, Mario Platformers is my number ten favorite gaming

436
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,880
series franchise whatever we're calling these, I guess series.

437
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm going a series. I like the word series a

438
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,880
bit more. Yeah, I was just counting mine to make

439
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:39,960
sure I'm not accent.

440
00:19:40,759 --> 00:19:43,079
Speaker 2: I had two eight's on here, That's why I was panicking.

441
00:19:43,079 --> 00:19:45,319
For a second. So not only like two tens, but

442
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,319
like I have to like completely rearrange.

443
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: My list style but my downfalls. I don't even have

444
00:19:49,079 --> 00:19:51,920
numbers online. I just raw count them every time. Okay,

445
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,359
I think I got my delineations here, Oh right, number

446
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,799
ten for me, I'm gonna go with one that is

447
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,519
kind of a newer. How should I word this? I

448
00:20:02,559 --> 00:20:04,680
guess it's some of the games that I've played more

449
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,519
recently that have put on the list, but I have

450
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:08,960
been playing it for like fifteen years now, and I'm

451
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,079
gonna go with Resident Evil. So obviously, this this journey

452
00:20:13,079 --> 00:20:15,279
for me with the Resident Evil has largely been covered

453
00:20:15,799 --> 00:20:18,880
on side quest as I you know, picked up seven,

454
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:20,920
you know, a year or two after it came out,

455
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,680
but mostly with Village and really enjoyed Village, and that's

456
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,319
what kind of prompted me to go back and check

457
00:20:25,319 --> 00:20:27,839
out the remakes for two, three, and four when that

458
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,079
one came out. Then I've even gone back and played

459
00:20:30,079 --> 00:20:32,440
a couple of the older ones, the Tank Controls one.

460
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,599
I'm not a big as big of a fan of those,

461
00:20:35,039 --> 00:20:37,279
but I and Resnevil five was when I played back

462
00:20:37,319 --> 00:20:38,720
in the day with my cousin just like co Op

463
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,079
Shooter Good times one hundred, like a thousand gamer score

464
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,119
achievements doing everything in it, and so I haven't played

465
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,079
that game in a long time, but I think that's

466
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:49,880
why this make. If it weren't for playing Reside Evil

467
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,240
five back in the day, I don't think this would

468
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,680
be on my list because it still feels a little fresh.

469
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,759
Maybe i'd need a couple extra games, but like no

470
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,640
Residnevil five. That was like, yeah, like fifteen years ago now,

471
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,400
and I love the game back then and I'm still

472
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,000
loving the series now, so to me, it has that longevity.

473
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,480
So yeah, I love love five back in the day,

474
00:21:05,759 --> 00:21:09,240
I really love eight, I love four. I think two

475
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,200
is really great, Three is okay. I had a decent

476
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,000
time with that one, and then seven it's like I

477
00:21:16,079 --> 00:21:18,039
just respected so much because it was scared me so

478
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,319
much that I couldn't finish it, as I've talked about before.

479
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,640
But yeah, I just I just love the I think

480
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,200
when I really got into the series recently, I was

481
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,759
surprised at how campy and over the top and goofy

482
00:21:28,839 --> 00:21:32,880
and cheesy action horror action horror vibes it is. It's

483
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,079
just got such a unique tone, the characters are very iconic.

484
00:21:36,839 --> 00:21:40,160
It has a lot of you know, recurring, It has

485
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,160
a lot of tropes. It's a very trophy series, but

486
00:21:42,279 --> 00:21:44,039
it you know, it kind of knows what it is.

487
00:21:44,079 --> 00:21:46,880
And I feel like, even with the new one coming out, Requien,

488
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,920
it feels like it's maybe trying something a little bit different,

489
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,400
and I feel like a lot of the series has

490
00:21:50,599 --> 00:21:52,359
Some of them are more actiony, some of them are

491
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,920
more horror, like, yeah, first person, you have third person.

492
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,079
I think this new one is like both day one,

493
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,960
you can just play third or first person whatever you

494
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,519
want to do. And yeah, there's like spinoffs two that

495
00:22:01,519 --> 00:22:03,599
I've had a good time with as well. So yeah,

496
00:22:03,599 --> 00:22:06,799
I just I've really fallen in love with this series.

497
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,640
I don't know if I'm day one on Requiem, just

498
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,960
because games are so expensive these days and I got

499
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,240
to really pick and choose, but I really do want

500
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,079
to pick it up, and I might just impulse by

501
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,000
it because I'm just so into the series right now.

502
00:22:17,039 --> 00:22:19,640
So yeah, shout ups to Resident Evil, which you know,

503
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,680
kind of just barely squeaks on there. But I'm really

504
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,160
happy with it, and I think my love for the

505
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,240
series is just going to grow more over time, as

506
00:22:25,279 --> 00:22:27,799
I replay these games again, as I play some new

507
00:22:27,799 --> 00:22:29,240
ones as they come out, as I check out the

508
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,799
ones that I've missed. So yeah, big shout outs to

509
00:22:32,039 --> 00:22:32,680
Resident Evil.

510
00:22:33,759 --> 00:22:39,079
Speaker 2: Nice awesome. Yeah, another franchise I got to explore more.

511
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:43,440
But it's a little scary for me so well before, Like.

512
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,279
Speaker 1: I'm saying, man, a lot of them just dumb BROI

513
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:47,119
action movies.

514
00:22:47,279 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 2: Yeah that's fair. And when you turn down the difficulty

515
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,079
and you don't feel like any little mistake that you

516
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:58,680
make is kind of screw yourself over. Okay, number nine,

517
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,839
This one may surprise you, may not. I don't know.

518
00:23:04,759 --> 00:23:09,039
Big part of my early PC gaming times. I have

519
00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:10,279
the Half Life series here.

520
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: Oh that does surprise me.

521
00:23:12,519 --> 00:23:17,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I fell in love with these games, Like

522
00:23:17,559 --> 00:23:20,039
when I first discover what Steam was, like, I think

523
00:23:20,079 --> 00:23:23,359
I had like it's like a neighbor or someone that

524
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,079
like had a Steam account. He was just showing me,

525
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,640
like the classic like Counterstrike one point six, Half Life,

526
00:23:28,839 --> 00:23:30,599
like Left for Dead I think was in there, like

527
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,640
it was just like the early Valve title. But yeah,

528
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,640
just just the ones that I was exposed to. I

529
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,079
think Gary's mod was one of them also, and it's

530
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,559
It's funny how like like that's just like the Mount

531
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,920
rushmore of like the early stages of Steam or Steam.

532
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,519
It's just like evolved into what it is now. But yeah,

533
00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:51,799
I was, yeah, that's right. I keep getting the Steam Machine,

534
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:58,799
the new Xbox equivalent but even better. But anyways, yeah, no,

535
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,480
I I think it was where like he came over

536
00:24:01,559 --> 00:24:03,559
and he like logged into his account, so I had

537
00:24:03,559 --> 00:24:05,920
like access to like a couple of his games that

538
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,359
I would just like power through and Half Life was

539
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,680
one of them, and I fell in love with these series.

540
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,119
Fast forward to when I actually got my own Steam account,

541
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,039
I had Half Life, I had Half Life, Blue Shift,

542
00:24:19,079 --> 00:24:22,960
half Life, Opposing Force. I think there was one more

543
00:24:23,039 --> 00:24:25,039
in like kind of the offshoots of that first game,

544
00:24:25,079 --> 00:24:27,039
which was really really cool because you play as like

545
00:24:27,079 --> 00:24:32,359
a character while you have your your main protagonists going along,

546
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,240
so you kind of cross and like meet at various points,

547
00:24:35,279 --> 00:24:38,880
which is really cool and just at that time nice. Yeah, Yeah,

548
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,880
it's fantastic, And I just love the world building of

549
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,799
those games really really just scared the shit out of me.

550
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,799
Also back then, so you look at like some of

551
00:24:48,839 --> 00:24:51,200
the screenshots and just like the pixelated graphics are just

552
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,720
so terrible in comparison to modern day standards. But at

553
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,839
the same time, I feel like that added to the

554
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,480
scariness and just the audio effects of those games just

555
00:24:58,519 --> 00:25:01,559
stuck with me. So many dark corridors, and by the

556
00:25:01,599 --> 00:25:04,720
end of the game it's just so trippy that like

557
00:25:04,759 --> 00:25:06,720
the places that you go, it just starts as like

558
00:25:06,759 --> 00:25:11,000
a just immersive sim like horror sci fi shooter, and

559
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,519
then by the end it's very sci fi and it's

560
00:25:13,559 --> 00:25:18,359
it's fantastic. I highly recommend to everyone experiencing Half Life

561
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,440
and now they have I think it's called Black Mesa.

562
00:25:20,559 --> 00:25:23,079
It's like somebody made a mod of the original game

563
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,319
and it just it looks gorgeous now, so it's a

564
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,119
little bit more more modern take of it. But then,

565
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,160
you know, didn't just stop there. I played the shit

566
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,079
out of Half Life two also, and I absolutely love

567
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,400
that game so much. It felt like it felt like

568
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,400
going from like Halo two to Halo three, and like,

569
00:25:40,319 --> 00:25:42,039
you know, kids these days might not realize how much

570
00:25:42,039 --> 00:25:43,440
of a jump that is, but man, I remember going

571
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,240
to my friend's house and seeing Halo three and just

572
00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:47,640
the shadows that they had on like master Chief and

573
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,079
the textures on them I'm like, man, this is modern

574
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,160
gaming here, this is insane, and going from Half Life

575
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,039
one to Half Life two, which is such a graphical jump. Again,

576
00:25:55,279 --> 00:25:58,599
it's it's nothing today's standards, but at the time it

577
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,440
was very special, and yeah, I just I just fell

578
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,160
in love with that world. And I again, I feel

579
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,440
like a lot of these older picks are kind of

580
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,720
like the foundation for just my overall what I just

581
00:26:10,839 --> 00:26:14,759
got enjoyment out of gaming wise. So yeah, nice, yeah

582
00:26:15,039 --> 00:26:19,119
Life haven't played Alex. That's still you know, eluding me.

583
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: That's the VR one, right, Yeah, I mean, I'm I'm

584
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,319
definitely got my eyes on this new Steam VR headset

585
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,920
if the price is right. So if I ever do

586
00:26:28,039 --> 00:26:30,160
get that, you should definitely borrow it at some point

587
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,720
and play through Alex. But but yeah, I okay, So

588
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,279
I want to ask you about this because me and

589
00:26:35,279 --> 00:26:37,559
Travis were talking about this. I think it was last week,

590
00:26:37,559 --> 00:26:40,839
maybe it's two weeks ago, where you know, the people

591
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,480
have always wanted Half Life three. I don't know if

592
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,000
there's always been anything substantial there, but like the rumors

593
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,400
have been swirling.

594
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 2: And they've been swirling.

595
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Travis said that on the episode, and I was like, no,

596
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,200
it's not halfa three is not coming out. People have

597
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,720
been saying that for twenty years. And then we did

598
00:26:55,759 --> 00:26:57,119
a pizza bed on the spot, and then I went

599
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:58,920
on the internet. I was like, oh yeah, there's rumors

600
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,200
swirling everywhere Pizza Bed. But already there was, like everyone

601
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,200
was theorizing last week. At some point they were gonna

602
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,720
announce it because it was like an anniversary or something,

603
00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:09,799
and that date passed and no announcements. I'm like, okay,

604
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,640
maybe this. I mean, it's just a pizza who really cares,

605
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,559
But at least my side of the bed is still

606
00:27:15,559 --> 00:27:19,920
potentially on. But Kirkland, if that happens, can we do

607
00:27:20,079 --> 00:27:21,440
a half life retrospective?

608
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 2: Oh please? Absolutely. Those are the types of games too

609
00:27:24,519 --> 00:27:27,839
where that's like a reasonable like there's multiple titles, but

610
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,839
the sub games, like I was mentioning Blue Blue Shift

611
00:27:32,279 --> 00:27:35,799
Opposing Force, those are like a couple hours long. They're

612
00:27:35,839 --> 00:27:37,759
really not that long, and then the Bass game is

613
00:27:37,759 --> 00:27:38,599
isn't really that long.

614
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,759
Speaker 1: So would those be just like DLCs, like here's like

615
00:27:40,799 --> 00:27:41,519
two new levels.

616
00:27:41,559 --> 00:27:44,759
Speaker 2: I guess they were standalone games like when I because

617
00:27:44,799 --> 00:27:47,519
I believe I bought Blue Shift before I even bought

618
00:27:47,519 --> 00:27:49,480
the first game, because that was like the first Steam

619
00:27:49,519 --> 00:27:51,319
game I ever acquired when I got the courage to

620
00:27:51,319 --> 00:27:52,599
ask my mom for a credit card.

621
00:27:53,799 --> 00:27:57,559
Speaker 1: And yeah, so there was an anniversary edition that released

622
00:27:57,559 --> 00:27:59,119
like a year or two ago, So I'm guessing that

623
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:00,519
just like bundles everything in one.

624
00:28:00,559 --> 00:28:04,039
Speaker 2: Probably, yeah, I would definitely make that assumption. And like

625
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,079
those old games too, you have to like kind of

626
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,079
change your graphical settings otherwise you just can't play it

627
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,759
on modern systems.

628
00:28:10,799 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe that adversary version then yeah, and I think

629
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,039
it's pretty cheap and it's like twenty bucks or something

630
00:28:15,079 --> 00:28:17,160
like they didn't, you know, not like the ninety dollars

631
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,640
for this new version.

632
00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 2: But that would be so fun. That'd be so great.

633
00:28:20,839 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: And then so then and then I because I'm just

634
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,759
on the Wikipedia, there's Half Life two, and then there's

635
00:28:25,799 --> 00:28:28,400
Half Life episode Half Life two episode one, episode two.

636
00:28:28,519 --> 00:28:31,400
What someone is is that like a DLC? What's going

637
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:31,839
on there?

638
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 2: That's kind of like a death of the Outsider type thing. I,

639
00:28:35,279 --> 00:28:39,079
if I remember correctly, you're still like the same protagonist,

640
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,079
Gordon Freeman, I think it is his name something like.

641
00:28:44,039 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: That, But uh, Jim Jim Jim Jim Jim definitely Gordon.

642
00:28:50,319 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: Gordon, I just wear the creepy scientist guy just calling

643
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:58,240
you Gordon Gordon, hit the button, Gordon Gordon Freeman. You

644
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,359
were right you Yeah, there you go.

645
00:29:01,359 --> 00:29:01,519
Speaker 1: Red.

646
00:29:01,519 --> 00:29:06,279
Speaker 2: It sounds like a made up name. Oh yeah, absolute badassah.

647
00:29:06,759 --> 00:29:09,799
But yeah, they're definitely their own little DLC type games.

648
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,279
I think I might have missed one. I think I

649
00:29:12,319 --> 00:29:14,160
only played because it's like the Lost Coast. Is that

650
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,759
what it's called or something like that.

651
00:29:15,839 --> 00:29:19,119
Speaker 1: So overall, yeah, Half Life one had opposing Forrest, Blue Shift, Decay.

652
00:29:19,119 --> 00:29:20,960
I don't know if you've mentioned did you play Decay?

653
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 2: I don't remember Decay, Okay.

654
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: And then there was Half Lives Make Sure Source, and

655
00:29:25,559 --> 00:29:27,920
I don't know if that I don't know what that

656
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:28,480
might just do.

657
00:29:28,559 --> 00:29:32,279
Speaker 2: That was like a better version. It was like CS

658
00:29:32,359 --> 00:29:34,279
one point six to see Source, gotcha.

659
00:29:34,759 --> 00:29:36,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then there's yeah, Half Life two, Half Life

660
00:29:36,799 --> 00:29:39,119
two Death Matches that. Yeah, there's a multiplayer thing. There's

661
00:29:39,119 --> 00:29:43,160
Half Life two Lost Coast, there's Death Source, so an

662
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,039
updated multi yeah thing. And then there's episode one, Episode two,

663
00:29:46,039 --> 00:29:51,599
and then of course Alex thirteen years later, so a

664
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,119
lot of stuff going on there. But yeah, that's that's

665
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,720
a huge blind spot thing for me because I've I've

666
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,640
definitely bowed up the games because I had Orange Box

667
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,319
back in the day. But yeah, I don't think i've

668
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,599
I've never like rolled credits on them, but like, it

669
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,480
is one hundred percent my jam my kind of game,

670
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,119
and I love those old Valve source games. So I

671
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:10,640
don't know why I haven't done it yet, but yeah,

672
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,279
I feel like Half Life three that will be a

673
00:30:13,279 --> 00:30:16,640
good kicker to really do that retrospective. So I think

674
00:30:16,799 --> 00:30:18,400
I'm looking forward to that one. That'll be that'll be

675
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:19,680
a good time when we finally get to it, and

676
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,799
maybe two years from now it'll be in my top

677
00:30:22,839 --> 00:30:23,599
ten series.

678
00:30:23,359 --> 00:30:26,279
Speaker 2: Of all time, I hope. So I think it might.

679
00:30:26,359 --> 00:30:27,759
I think it has potential, Like it's it's one of

680
00:30:27,759 --> 00:30:29,720
those things where I think nostalgia is a big factor

681
00:30:29,759 --> 00:30:31,240
for it. Like maybe if you haven't played it back

682
00:30:31,279 --> 00:30:34,680
then you'll be like, oh, I played games like this, Well, yeah,

683
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,200
obviously this is the blueprint. You know, Half Life had

684
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,119
to crawls, all these games could walk.

685
00:30:40,559 --> 00:30:45,759
Speaker 1: M Okay, Next up for me, Number nine for me,

686
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,880
I'm gonna go with, uh not Mario Platformers. I'm just

687
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,519
gonna go with Mario Kart. And now that I think

688
00:30:51,519 --> 00:30:53,799
about it, I don't think I have Mario platformers in

689
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,319
my top ten, and I think that for me, that

690
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,319
is kind of what I said earlier of I would

691
00:30:57,359 --> 00:30:59,079
need a couple three D. I would need a couple

692
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,519
like two D mix them up, you know, I would

693
00:31:01,559 --> 00:31:03,759
need like Super Mario Bros. Three and I would need

694
00:31:03,799 --> 00:31:08,119
Mario sixty four at least in the mix. And for me,

695
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,559
those are like kind of different. I could just bundle them.

696
00:31:10,599 --> 00:31:12,039
But you know what, I'm not going to for today.

697
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,200
I'm happy that you have it on your list, but yeah,

698
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,880
I'm gonna go with Mario Kart because this is like

699
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,359
a series that I pretty much just always pick up

700
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,119
the latest one. You know. It's there isn't really much

701
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:23,680
going on with the switch to launch line up, but

702
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,440
so's Yeah, I definitely want to play the new Mario Kart.

703
00:31:25,559 --> 00:31:28,240
Played a ton of eight and I think I own

704
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,920
every single one of them, except for like Super Mario

705
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,519
Kart on the snees because I don't have that console.

706
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,559
But yeah, otherwise, I've played like every single game in

707
00:31:37,599 --> 00:31:40,119
the series, even like a bit of you know, the

708
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,440
mobile one. I think I've even played the Arcade game

709
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,519
one that they have, So this might be the series

710
00:31:44,519 --> 00:31:47,519
that I have like the greatest coverage of other than like,

711
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,200
you know, a game, a series that only has like

712
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,359
two or three games in it, And you know, I

713
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,119
just I just love Mario Kart was a favorite for

714
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:54,960
me as a kid, Mario sixty four on the N

715
00:31:55,039 --> 00:31:57,599
sixty four or going over to friend's place and playing

716
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,160
Double Dash. You know, a ton of Mario Kart we

717
00:32:00,359 --> 00:32:02,240
back in the day. Mario Kart eight, you know a

718
00:32:02,279 --> 00:32:04,440
game I've been playing for like over a decade now,

719
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,960
between the WEU and the and the switch and getting

720
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,599
all the DLC maps in there. And yeah, Mario Kart World,

721
00:32:09,599 --> 00:32:11,160
which I played again last week when I had a

722
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,400
friend hanging out at my place, and you know, I

723
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,799
love that game too. I definitely think I could use

724
00:32:15,799 --> 00:32:18,079
a few more, few more courses, at least compared to eight,

725
00:32:18,119 --> 00:32:20,680
which has just a million maps in it. But I

726
00:32:20,759 --> 00:32:23,000
really love these games. I think for the most part,

727
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,400
they are kind of the same every time around. But

728
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:26,519
you know, every once in a while you get a

729
00:32:26,519 --> 00:32:28,440
couple of new innovations or you have a Double Dash

730
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,240
which is kind of a weird pivot in the series,

731
00:32:30,839 --> 00:32:33,680
And yeah, it's just always fun. Always, Like you know,

732
00:32:33,759 --> 00:32:36,720
for friends of mine who are not as much of gamers,

733
00:32:36,759 --> 00:32:39,000
it's like, yeah, Mario Kart. Everyone can play Mario Kart,

734
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,200
so it's always just one of those go to's, but

735
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,119
it still has that depth to it. So yeah, big

736
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,119
big fan of Mario Kart.

737
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Who isn't such an easy game? I feel

738
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,720
like so many people got to expose that game, like

739
00:32:51,759 --> 00:32:54,079
super young it's the classic, Like just just give it

740
00:32:54,079 --> 00:32:56,319
to the young kid and they can pick as their

741
00:32:56,359 --> 00:32:59,079
favorite Mario character and just just just especially now they

742
00:32:59,079 --> 00:33:00,720
have auto drive and stuff like that, like it's even

743
00:33:00,759 --> 00:33:03,680
just more accessible to younger audiences. So I feel like

744
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,759
that is one that kind of gets the gaming bug

745
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,799
on people early because you know, that's that's their exposure.

746
00:33:08,799 --> 00:33:10,880
And a lot of non gamers, I feel like I've

747
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,920
played Mario Kart, plenty of drinking games around Mario Kart,

748
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,079
like it's just it's just the thing that we grew

749
00:33:18,119 --> 00:33:20,440
up with, so yeah, good pick.

750
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, hell yeah.

751
00:33:23,119 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: I decided to leave off the Mario Karts. I chose

752
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,279
the one Mario franchise with the platformers there. But we're

753
00:33:29,319 --> 00:33:34,079
run number eight now correct, Okay, Never this was a

754
00:33:34,119 --> 00:33:37,759
tough one for me. I originally added on my honorable mention,

755
00:33:37,839 --> 00:33:40,359
but I honestly I played too many of these titles

756
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,200
to not have it on here, and I I still

757
00:33:45,519 --> 00:33:47,720
am a fan of these franch Like of these games.

758
00:33:47,759 --> 00:33:50,240
I've played all of them, and I know exactly what

759
00:33:50,359 --> 00:33:52,400
I'm getting into when I get into them, So it's

760
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,519
almost like a guilty pleasure game at this point. But man,

761
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,920
are these games still fun. I'm putting the far Crive

762
00:33:58,039 --> 00:34:01,640
series here, and I I'm going to include far Cry Primal.

763
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,680
Even though it's a very different game engine engine, it

764
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,480
plays the exact same It doesn't matter if you have

765
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,159
a sniper rifle in your hand or a bow, or

766
00:34:08,159 --> 00:34:10,360
if you're tossing rocks because you're a cave man. It's

767
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,639
basically the exact same game. You're still a looter shooter.

768
00:34:14,039 --> 00:34:16,239
You know you're you're going to quest markers and doing

769
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,320
your thing. But man, if I just want like a

770
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,320
like a shooter to go in there, like Free World,

771
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,840
like hell yeah, I think my first I think the

772
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,039
first one I played was actually far Cry one, So

773
00:34:26,079 --> 00:34:29,119
I'm kind of an OG fan. I can safely say

774
00:34:29,519 --> 00:34:32,280
Far Cry wont run. Wow easy for me, to say,

775
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,760
Far Cry one at my cousin's house on his Xbox,

776
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,400
fark Cry two on the place or on the PC

777
00:34:37,559 --> 00:34:40,119
I think, and then later on Xbox three sixty bought

778
00:34:40,119 --> 00:34:44,440
that game twice two and then so good and like

779
00:34:44,599 --> 00:34:48,079
Man at the time, it was just so ahead of

780
00:34:48,079 --> 00:34:50,719
of the game where you could actually jam your gun

781
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,199
in Far Cry too, like your your gun would get dirty.

782
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,199
That was like Man next gen next gen gaming there

783
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,599
it was so inconvenient and it would happen way too often,

784
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,239
but still at the time crazy that you could.

785
00:35:01,159 --> 00:35:06,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, five adaptive triggers get that. Yeah, like two games

786
00:35:06,559 --> 00:35:09,639
and then again uh, Farkry.

787
00:35:09,199 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 2: Three also was just such a big game when that

788
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,519
one drop. But the Wonderful Villain had like one of

789
00:35:13,559 --> 00:35:16,480
the coolest trailers ever, and that was back when E

790
00:35:16,559 --> 00:35:18,960
three mattered. So when that trailer played at E three, man,

791
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:25,159
holy shit, people got goosebum uh. And then Farkry four

792
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,039
also played the absolute shit out of I love that

793
00:35:27,079 --> 00:35:29,639
one in Nepaul, so fantastic. And then later on I

794
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,679
ended up playing Far Cry five and I haven't played

795
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,800
New Dawn yet. I don't know if I will. I

796
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,360
feel like it's very similar to four or sorry, five,

797
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:37,599
but you know, maybe I.

798
00:35:37,519 --> 00:35:40,039
Speaker 1: Will six, right because you've also played.

799
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 2: Six, right, I've dabbled in six a little bit, and

800
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,320
uh yeah, really fun again. It just like keeps building

801
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,440
upon like the the structure of what the other games are.

802
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,199
But man, it's perfect, like like they know what they're doing,

803
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,360
so like why try and reinvent the wheel? So I

804
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,800
I totally appreciate the fark Cry series and I like

805
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,039
the fact they're still going so yeah far Cry just

806
00:36:01,559 --> 00:36:03,840
blanket hell. Yeah that's good.

807
00:36:04,519 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: Uh Okay, my next one might be a bigger one.

808
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,920

00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:05,519
Back we're on number, Eight. Kirkland my number eight is

846
00:38:05,559 --> 00:38:07,679
a little old series that maybe you've heard, of that

847
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,320
maybe has a new game coming out next, year unless

848
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,280
it gets delayed for the twenty eighth. Time But i'm

849
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:18,440
all With Grand Left, otto which is one THAT i

850
00:38:18,559 --> 00:38:21,679
kind of struggled with the placement on this BECAUSE i

851
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,440
LOVE gt, FOUR i LOVE gt, five two of my

852
00:38:24,639 --> 00:38:27,159
all time favorite, games somewhere in my top thirty or

853
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,960
something like, that you, know not in my top ten

854
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,599
in terms of overall favorite individual, games but just you,

855
00:38:33,639 --> 00:38:36,119
know so much fun playing those, games and you, know

856
00:38:36,199 --> 00:38:39,320
played Some San andreas at friend's house growing, up played

857
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,840
like a little bit Of Vice city growing. Up, recently

858
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,639
just like a couple months, AGO i PLAYED gt three

859
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,880
for the first time and played through that whole, thing

860
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,559
and you, know it's it's a fine. Game so, yeah

861
00:38:49,599 --> 00:38:51,599
it's LIKE i really just have two games THAT i

862
00:38:51,599 --> 00:38:54,079
absolutely love from, here BUT i do feel Like Vice

863
00:38:54,119 --> 00:38:56,599
city And San andreas are kind of blind spots THAT

864
00:38:56,679 --> 00:38:58,480
i need to go back, to And i'm definitely gonna

865
00:38:58,519 --> 00:39:01,320
do at Least Vice city play through that BEFORE gt

866
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,440
six comes. Out and then ASSUMING gj six is this,

867
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,800
great amazing game that it's being shocked up to, BE

868
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,400
i feel, like if, anything that'll cement this as being

869
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,159
a top ten series for me with having a new

870
00:39:12,199 --> 00:39:13,960
game in. There but EVEN gt five kind of feels

871
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,239
like two games and one because you had the single

872
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:20,320
player which is, massive and then the multiplayer OR Gt online,

873
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,320
specifically which just had tons of stuff And i've played

874
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,519
for a long time before kind of dropping off, Eventually

875
00:39:26,599 --> 00:39:29,679
so just you, know for, me it's IT'S i do

876
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,920
love the story of, four AND i like playing through

877
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,039
the story modes and the campaigns and seeing all the.

878
00:39:34,079 --> 00:39:36,000
Missions but for, me it's just screwing around in these,

879
00:39:36,039 --> 00:39:39,679
worlds having these, sandboxes using cheets to get all the

880
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,800
crazy shit going. On the funny. Anecdotes it's one of

881
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:47,079
the best like handoff the controller games that exists of all.

882
00:39:47,159 --> 00:39:49,519
Time like you, know it's traditionally a single player, game

883
00:39:49,599 --> 00:39:52,280
not much split screen going. ON i mean some of

884
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,039
them do have LIKE i Think San andreas had that and,

885
00:39:54,079 --> 00:39:56,320
stuff but like it's just one of those. Games it's

886
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,639
just fun as hell to play with your. Friends and,

887
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:00,599
yeah we were planning on doing in a fun bit

888
00:40:00,639 --> 00:40:02,760
on the twenty four hour stream where we kind of

889
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,719
just you, know do some five stars you can survive

890
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,480
the longest kind of things we want to do with

891
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,159
though WITH gta six, though hopefully so we'll see maybe

892
00:40:09,199 --> 00:40:11,199
maybe next. Year WELL i guess that's not coming out

893
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,880
until after the stream, now but who, knows something to

894
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,960
do have some fun doing that in the, future BECAUSE

895
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:17,360
i haven't done that in a. WHILE i haven't sat

896
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,159
on the couch with a friend and just PLAYED gta

897
00:40:19,199 --> 00:40:21,519

898
00:40:21,559 --> 00:40:23,320

SIR i like your, Reasoning yes for sure for number.

910
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,000
Seven now moving down the, LIST i got a pretty

911
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:01,599
Big Mucho grande franchise. Here some people might think this is,

912
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,199
low but you know, what it's on the, list so

913
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,920
those people can quiet. Down i'm coming in here With.

914
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,440
Legendzelda oh. OKAY i have not played all the titles

915
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,679
in these. GAMES i have not played arguably the most

916
00:41:12,679 --> 00:41:15,000
important titles out of these, games but that has not

917
00:41:15,079 --> 00:41:18,920
change the fact THAT i have fantastic nostalgic memories playing these.

918
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:23,079
Titles the two THAT i have not, played, Well i've

919
00:41:23,119 --> 00:41:25,320
dabbled actually in both of, these But i've really not

920
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,199
played them enough to like call myself an enjoyer of

921
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,480
these games, too being acker enough Time emmajors. MASK i,

922
00:41:31,559 --> 00:41:35,119
KNOW i, know. BLASPHEMY i have not touched those titles that,

923
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:41,199
much but for, me Man Win waker is just such

924
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:45,639
a fantastic, game AND i THINKS i often think about

925
00:41:45,639 --> 00:41:47,440
that game like it just comes into my head of

926
00:41:47,559 --> 00:41:50,800
just like again really deep seated nostalgic memories of over

927
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,320
at my cousin's house when living In, Alberta LIKE i

928
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,559
would go there every summer AND i would just be

929
00:41:55,599 --> 00:41:58,079
so excited to like just see what new games he

930
00:41:58,159 --> 00:42:01,119
had on his, GameCube and one over there he's Got

931
00:42:01,159 --> 00:42:04,320
Legend zelda Win. WAKER i love the art style at the.

932
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,920
Time it just seems so next, gen like the pasteli

933
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,360
cartooning ish factors of. It he also had like the

934
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:15,400
game like basically pay Per Form wiki where it has

935
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,280
like all of like the secrets and stuff in, There

936
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,400
AND i just remember watching him play that and just

937
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,039
like reading through and just like, LIKE i don't, know

938
00:42:22,079 --> 00:42:24,000
it was just such a. Special it's kind of similar

939
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,639
to what you're talking about WITH, Gta LIKE i just

940
00:42:25,639 --> 00:42:28,079
had so much fun playing that with friends and not

941
00:42:28,119 --> 00:42:30,000
even just my cousin, there like whether it was Playing

942
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:35,599
Twilight princess at another friend's. House i've even played some

943
00:42:35,639 --> 00:42:39,159
of the handheld titles With Phantom, Hourglass LIKE i love

944
00:42:39,199 --> 00:42:41,719
that game so. Much it helps that it was similar

945
00:42:42,519 --> 00:42:46,199
well the same tunelink world THAT i really. Love BUT

946
00:42:46,559 --> 00:42:49,039
Toyi princess also is just such AN i don't even

947
00:42:49,039 --> 00:42:50,639
know if it's, underrated BUT i just don't really hear

948
00:42:50,679 --> 00:42:52,360
people talk about that game enough when they when they

949
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,400
talk About, legendzelda and it's just so dark and creepy

950
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,360
and eerie in comparison to other ass, well, actually majority

951
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,920
of his mask is pretty fucking. Terrifying and also WHEN

952
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,280
i think about, it SO i Gues zelda's always kind

953
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:07,000
of had that that dark creepiness to. It and, yeah,

954
00:43:07,119 --> 00:43:10,000
NO I i think just the whole setup of like

955
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,320
The Chosen, hero The, princess the big battie that's just

956
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:18,519
always there to do is nefarious. THINGS i just think

957
00:43:18,559 --> 00:43:20,719
it's such a special franchise and there's a reason why

958
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:22,800
it's it hasn't died off like like it is just

959
00:43:23,679 --> 00:43:25,440
well probably because a lot of people grew up with those,

960
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,519
titles so like the deep set of nostalgia is, there

961
00:43:27,599 --> 00:43:30,519
just at at a grand. Level but, Yeah Legend, zelda,

962
00:43:30,599 --> 00:43:34,199
man IT'S I i haven't played the recent like the

963
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,519
most recent, one But i'm SURE i will at some.

964
00:43:37,599 --> 00:43:41,960
Point it's just a really special franchise THAT i feel

965
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,000
like i'd be doing a disservice AND i do really

966
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,840
want to go through and like Play acker enough time

967
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,440
In Majora's, mask AND i THINK i, know LIKE i don't,

968
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,480
know like the main, hitters but like pretty foggy on

969
00:43:52,559 --> 00:43:55,480
like the overall stories when it comes to the, Game

970
00:43:55,559 --> 00:43:57,480
SO i Think i'll be able to play through them

971
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:01,000
and still be pretty surprised with what's to. Come the

972
00:44:01,039 --> 00:44:03,119
other one THAT i really want to try at some

973
00:44:03,199 --> 00:44:04,960
POINT i never really got too BECAUSE i think it

974
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,880
was only on The wii Was Skywards. SWORD i heard

975
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,280
the story of that was really really, Fantastic SO i

976
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:11,880
do want to cross that one off my list also

977
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:16,960
at some. Point but, yeah so there you. Go oh, nice. Perfect,

978
00:44:17,039 --> 00:44:19,119
yeah you probably told me that at some.

979
00:44:19,119 --> 00:44:21,639
Speaker 1: Point maybe maybe they have a lot of them on.

980
00:44:21,679 --> 00:44:23,880
There it's a. YEAH i mean that's just The switch

981
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,000
in general just has so many many games from all

982
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,760
These intendo. Series i'm glad you Have ZELDA'S i. DON'T

983
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,480
i don't have to tomorrow AND i don't Have, Zelda

984
00:44:30,559 --> 00:44:34,000
So i'm glad that you're kind of representing that Because. Nintendo,

985
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,920
yeah it's, Weird LIKE I i'm a Big nintendo guy

986
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,920
AND i do have Other nintendo series on, here BUT i.

987
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,840
DON'T i don't have The Big. TWO i guess so that's, just,

988
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,920
uh you, know we have, balance as all things should.

989
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:51,119
Be but number seven for me is gonna be, Uh

990
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,719
i'm gonna go with The fallout. Series, Obviously i'm a

991
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:59,079
Big bethesda. Head maybe More bethesda coming up, later wink,

992
00:44:59,119 --> 00:45:02,079
wink nudge. Nuts BUT i do Love. Folloout you, know for,

993
00:45:02,159 --> 00:45:06,440
me the entry point was you, know to some Hardcore fallout,

994
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,559
fans they don't love to hear, this but for, me

995
00:45:08,599 --> 00:45:10,880
it was Follow out. Three that was the first ONE i,

996
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,519
played OR i remember just watching it, first like going

997
00:45:13,519 --> 00:45:16,519
to my cousin's house and like Loving Elder scrolls and be,

998
00:45:16,599 --> 00:45:19,159
like what the heck is this is what is going on?

999
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,760
Here it's Very Elder scrollsy in terms of like the,

1000
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,599
exploration the, interactivity but it's like a wholly different kind of,

1001
00:45:25,599 --> 00:45:27,519
world AND i feel LIKE i haven't really at that

1002
00:45:27,519 --> 00:45:28,880
point in my, life hadn't really played a lot of

1003
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,400
like post apocalyquid, things or maybe even seen a whole

1004
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,559
lot of. Movies so it felt very, fresh even though

1005
00:45:34,559 --> 00:45:36,760
it's like the least fresh and nasty kind of environment

1006
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,159
you can possibly.

1007
00:45:37,679 --> 00:45:38,519
Speaker 2: Imagine very.

1008
00:45:38,599 --> 00:45:42,360

it for. That but, YEAH i feel LIKE i need

1036
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,840
another full play through that game BECAUSE i did really enjoy.

1037
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,199
It it didn't hit the same for me as three Or New,

1038
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,400

you know, what sue. ME i had a good time

1040
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,800
playing seventy six for a little bit, there and it's

1041
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,320
been a lot of time Since i've joked back in,

1042
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:56,920
there AND i would like to as, well Because i've

1043
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,400
had like three new cities AND i want. To, YEAH

1044
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,480

00:47:01,519 --> 00:47:05,639
Hours why? Not but, yeah a SERIES i. Enjoy you,

1046
00:47:05,639 --> 00:47:07,440
Know i've gone back and tried follow it one and,

1047
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,360
two and it's just old, game Old it's it's hard

1048
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,159
for me to get, into WHICH i feel bad about

1049
00:47:12,199 --> 00:47:13,920
BECAUSE i always want people to go back and give

1050
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:15,639
Marrow win a chance even though it's old game Old

1051
00:47:15,679 --> 00:47:17,840
BUT i Just i've tried to fall out AND i

1052
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,880
just don't understand THE ui or how to do anything at,

1053
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,559
all so makes it. Hard AND i think the other

1054
00:47:23,599 --> 00:47:26,320
one That i'm missing Is Follout. TACTICS i THINK i

1055
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,639
have it On steam AND i Love tactics games AND

1056
00:47:28,639 --> 00:47:30,280
i Love, fallout SO i feel LIKE i should go

1057
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:32,440
play that because that just seems like my cup of.

1058
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,400
Team i'm sure it's also old game old but we'll,

1059
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,760

1060
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:40,679

1061
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:42,719
MADE tv series to just boost that lower up and

1062
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,440

00:47:48,639 --> 00:47:49,280
a new play through.

1065
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 2: This, yeah, no, Absolutely. UH i thought about, it BUT

1066
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:57,639
I i feel Like i've really just glossed over like

1067
00:47:57,679 --> 00:47:59,920
the titles THAT i have played of those like FALLOW

1068
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,039
i played The shit out of like you, said early

1069
00:48:02,079 --> 00:48:04,639
podcast title that was like the era WHERE i think

1070
00:48:04,679 --> 00:48:06,760
all of us got. It maybe Not, TAYLOR i think

1071
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:08,960
he skipped on that, one BUT i remember talking About

1072
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,280
fallout a lot at that. Time and follow three was

1073
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:16,280
one of those games WHERE i feel like it was

1074
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,199
just like a passing train for, me AND i was

1075
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,639
just a little boy stuck on the on the platform

1076
00:48:20,679 --> 00:48:23,320
THAT i just missed my train BECAUSE i just saw

1077
00:48:23,559 --> 00:48:27,440
so much like, YouTube like early YouTube era content for that,

1078
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,800
game like hearing about, it maybe going to a friend's

1079
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:32,960
house and seeing him play. It AND i remember one,

1080
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,519
time very, SPECIFICALLY i have this. Memory me and my

1081
00:48:35,599 --> 00:48:37,800
friend shuts out to, You, quinn if you're listening to.

1082
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,280
This we went TO Ev games AND i don't, know

1083
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,280
we're like fourteen something like, that and, like just, oh

1084
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,880
this is so exciting looking at the titles And i'm,

1085
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,039
here i am Holding fallow three in my, hand And i'm, like, man,

1086
00:48:49,079 --> 00:48:50,679
Like i'm finally gonna be able to play the. Games

1087
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,480

1088
00:48:53,519 --> 00:48:55,559

00:48:56,639 --> 00:48:58,440
this son of a bitch id'd me in AN Ev.

1090
00:48:58,559 --> 00:48:59,239
Games he's doing his.

1091
00:48:59,320 --> 00:48:59,519
Speaker 1: Job.

1092
00:48:59,599 --> 00:49:02,079
Speaker 2: WHATEVER I i'll get over. It but, man that was

1093
00:49:02,119 --> 00:49:04,119
just such like a veering of like a fork in

1094
00:49:04,159 --> 00:49:05,800
the road WHERE i feel, like if you just allowed

1095
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:07,679
me to take that, GAME i could have changed, everything

1096
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,079
like because that would like that would that was that

1097
00:49:10,079 --> 00:49:12,320
would have been my First fallout TITLE i ever. EXPERIENCED

1098
00:49:12,599 --> 00:49:15,719
i really only experienced like oblivion a little bit playing

1099
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:17,119
at my cousin's, Self so that would have been like

1100
00:49:17,119 --> 00:49:21,199
my First beth, exposure where like like, now my first

1101
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,960
Real Beth bethesda like Deep, dive Was, skyrim and that's

1102
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,000
one of my favorite games of all. Time so, LIKE

1103
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,440
i feel Like followed three really could have been there if,

1104
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,239
that if that gentleman would have just let, me let

1105
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,400
me take the guy was probably like, seventeen also just

1106
00:49:37,199 --> 00:49:39,000
doing his. Job BUT i.

1107
00:49:39,079 --> 00:49:41,519
Speaker 1: Digress that's crazy the alternate reality for.

1108
00:49:41,559 --> 00:49:44,199
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah and there's a varying to me that just

1109
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:47,840
Has followed three merchandise all around, him and, uh it's

1110
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,920
just loving life. Hopefully but, yeah there you. Go that's

1111
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,239
my little history Of fallout and UH i do not

1112
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,239
have it on my list for those. Reasons fair fair

1113
00:49:57,199 --> 00:50:00,000
a very different list so, far WHICH i, Think, yeah it's, Fun,

1114
00:50:00,159 --> 00:50:04,360
YEAH i like. It moving on down the, ROAD i

1115
00:50:04,559 --> 00:50:09,440
have An xbox, franchise arguably the Biggest xbox franchise of all.

1116
00:50:09,519 --> 00:50:12,519
TIME i Got halo here in the top. Six i'm

1117
00:50:12,559 --> 00:50:15,440
a PlayStation, boy but, Man i'd be lying IF i

1118
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,639
wasn't exposed To halo enough to warrant it being on

1119
00:50:18,679 --> 00:50:21,679
this list. HERE i still have very vivid memories going

1120
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:25,000
over to a friend's House christmas. Break it was in

1121
00:50:25,039 --> 00:50:27,440
Between christmas And New year's and they just got the

1122
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,719
First xbox And i'm, like, man what is the system

1123
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,800
that you? Got And i'm watching them Play Halo Combat,

1124
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:37,440
evolved AND i am just so blown away because you,

1125
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,760
know there's two brothers and they're playing together co op

1126
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:42,880
split screen, campaign And i'm, like what the fuck is?

1127
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,519
This it's got the most banger Soundtrack i've ever heard

1128
00:50:45,559 --> 00:50:49,320
up until that, point sci fi, shoot like space. Shooter

1129
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:52,039
it just looked so, amazing blew my mind AND i was.

1130
00:50:52,079 --> 00:50:54,119
HOOKED i was so excited every time to be able

1131
00:50:54,159 --> 00:50:56,400
to go to their house and play some co op

1132
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:58,880
and that was just that was the. Start from that

1133
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,800
point on until high, school everyone THAT i knew knew

1134
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:03,880
of The halo, franchise and it was just such a core.

1135
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:07,960
Stable funny, ENOUGH i think the First halo GAME i

1136
00:51:08,079 --> 00:51:12,000
actually purchased Was Halo. Reach like that was WHEN i

1137
00:51:12,039 --> 00:51:14,719
had Like xbox three, SIXTY i Had Xbox, live and

1138
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,199
that was the TITLE i. Purchased BUT i played all the.

1139
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,440
Titles could All? Go he had all of, them So

1140
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,840
i'd always be at his house and playing through the. Campaigns, man,

1141
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:27,519
like just such fantastic. Memories haven't gotten to like, FIVE

1142
00:51:27,599 --> 00:51:29,440
i don't THINK i might have dabbled in four a little,

1143
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,159
bit SO i definitely do want to cross over at

1144
00:51:31,199 --> 00:51:33,920
least Like Master chiefs, STORIES i think it continues on in.

1145
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:40,000
Four but, man just such special. Franchise and, again another

1146
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,480
one that's just so deep rooted in MY dna THAT

1147
00:51:43,599 --> 00:51:46,400
i don't THINK i could really think about like gaming

1148
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:49,679
and shooters without Mentioning halo. There and although it's not

1149
00:51:49,679 --> 00:51:51,840
my main, franchise you, KNOW i am a PlayStation guy

1150
00:51:52,079 --> 00:51:53,920
at the end of the. Day Halo, man it's it's.

me well recent one, way and that is The Tony hawk.

1161
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:27,840
Series this is WHEN i thought about two Of, like,

1162
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,960
well obviously there's like the Pro skater games do. Different

1163
00:52:32,039 --> 00:52:34,199

1164
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,920
no they're All they're All Tony hawk for. Me there

1165
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,039
are like weird ones Like, ride like the one where

1166
00:52:39,079 --> 00:52:41,199
you actually need the skateboard on the, Ground like to,

1167
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,519
me that's like a spin off. OFFSHOOT i don't know

1168
00:52:43,559 --> 00:52:45,639
if that counts as like main. Series and there was

1169
00:52:45,679 --> 00:52:47,599
even like motion on like THE, ds WHICH i think

1170
00:52:47,639 --> 00:52:50,800
had like some weird fucking peripheral or something as. Well

1171
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:53,559
and you, know not all these games are, great and

1172
00:52:53,599 --> 00:52:55,639
that you, KNOW i just recently did a ranking of

1173
00:52:55,679 --> 00:52:57,880
my favorite. Levels i've talked about a ton on Side,

1174
00:52:57,920 --> 00:52:59,320

1175
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,920
Here and not all these games are, great of, course but,

1176

like ninety seven percent of my time playing The skate

1188
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:38,840

1189

1192
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:46,719
that has all sorts of different, games like even the

00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:48,400
one on the We Downhill. JAM i love that game,

1194
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,880
too and that was a totally different. Style but, yeah

1195
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:56,079
just a great, series extremely, fun really. Challenging and, yeah

1196
00:53:56,119 --> 00:53:58,079
it's Like i've had love with it recently AND i

1197
00:53:58,119 --> 00:53:59,360
loved it as like a kid WHEN i was like,

1198
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,719
seven eight years. Ol so it's just again has the,

1199
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,280
longevity even THOUGH i had like a long break in

1200
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,079
the last decade not playing a ton of. It but,

1201
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,800
yeah shout outs to The Tony hawk. Series.

1202
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 2: Awesome, Yeah i'm glad. You i'm not surprised that you

1203
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:14,719
hit it on, there just because you, know you've been

1204
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:15,159
talking about.

1205
00:54:15,199 --> 00:54:16,199
Speaker 1: Them recency for.

1206
00:54:16,199 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah. Recency this is one, that honestly it. Was

1207
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,320
it was amongst the earlier ones that popped in my

1208
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,960
head WHEN i was thinking about my favorite. Franchises and,

1209
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:28,519
UH i won't. LIE i feel like my recent slapping

1210
00:54:28,519 --> 00:54:31,039
THAT i received From Tyler sarris and The gauntlet kind

1211
00:54:31,039 --> 00:54:33,280
of like brought this franchise down a little bit for. Me,

1212
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,639
yeah BECAUSE i was very much a Casual Tony hawk,

1213
00:54:36,679 --> 00:54:39,800
PLAYER i realized and also DID i played these like

1214
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,679
early gaming with my cousin WHERE i really didn't know

1215
00:54:42,679 --> 00:54:46,320
anything about like doing anything mid max or like maximizing your.

1216
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:48,599
Scores we would just probably put on sheets and go

1217
00:54:48,639 --> 00:54:51,519
around and just do infinite grinds and. Whatnot but still

1218
00:54:51,559 --> 00:54:53,760
one that is close to my, mind just BECAUSE i

1219
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,960
played so many of, them the early pro, skaters but

1220
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:00,360
then Like thug is the big one for me growing,

1221
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,480
up but Even American wasteland and all, THOSE i feel

1222
00:55:02,519 --> 00:55:04,719
LIKE i kind of dabbled in all of. Them another

1223
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:06,280
one that just kind of it was a series that

1224
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:10,199
kind of grew up around us, Also so, Yeah i'm

1225
00:55:10,199 --> 00:55:12,760
glad you mentioned it, there but fortunately not not my.

1226
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:14,760
Top IF i would have won that game maybe it

1227
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:15,280
would have been all.

1228
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:17,519
Speaker 1: Again it's like the follow ut, thing like just a,

1229
00:55:18,599 --> 00:55:21,039
one but could have changed.

1230
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:23,199
Speaker 2: Everything could have Been Tyler serus that didn't sell me

1231
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:24,719
follow you way back in the.

1232
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,280
Speaker 1: Day, yeah it's. TRUE i like that our lists have

1233
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:29,480
a lot of different. Things. NOW i do feel like

1234
00:55:29,519 --> 00:55:31,719
that is going to change in the next couple of games,

1235
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,559
Here BUT i so far like that we've had, variety

1236
00:55:34,599 --> 00:55:35,079
SO i think it's.

1237
00:55:35,119 --> 00:55:37,639
Speaker 2: GOOD i have a good feeling it's still going to

1238
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:40,280
be different here BECAUSE i Don't, yeah, NO i don't

1239
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,880
think you have dabbled in this franchise here That i'm

1240
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:46,079
about to mention another deep seated nostalgic pick for. Me

1241
00:55:46,199 --> 00:55:51,039
i'm going with The Sly cooper series, here sitting at number,

1242
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:57,119
yeah round, five, okay, perfect did miss? One, YEAH I

1243
00:55:57,119 --> 00:55:59,960
i feel like this. SERIES i still think it. HOLDS

1244
00:56:00,199 --> 00:56:04,159
i think it's such a special like cute, fun like

1245
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:09,480
really like just fun comic humor mixed with just great stealth.

1246
00:56:09,519 --> 00:56:13,840
Elements you, know they're not super like in depth to today's,

1247
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:15,920
standards BUT i feel, like just for at the, time

1248
00:56:16,519 --> 00:56:18,760
it was so unique being able to like even just

1249
00:56:19,199 --> 00:56:23,039
manipulate like field of, views to like approach people to

1250
00:56:23,039 --> 00:56:26,719
to pick pockets and stuff like. That this is very

1251
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:28,880
clearly to, me like our big reason WHY i just

1252
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:32,119
love stealth games like, overall which is amongst like my favorite.

1253
00:56:32,199 --> 00:56:34,119
Genre like If i'm playing, RPGs i feel LIKE i

1254
00:56:34,199 --> 00:56:37,159
naturally just tend to like a stealthy type. Character i'm

1255
00:56:37,159 --> 00:56:42,599
thinking of the thevious Raccooness Sly cooper himself the master of.

1256
00:56:42,639 --> 00:56:45,480
STEALTH i but LIKE i love all the characters also

1257
00:56:45,519 --> 00:56:50,519
With murray or like A FRANKLIN i think that doesn't

1258
00:56:50,519 --> 00:56:56,159
sound right, now but, YEAH i think they're just just

1259
00:56:56,280 --> 00:57:00,119
really great world, building very colorful, characters whether it's the

1260
00:57:00,199 --> 00:57:02,679
villains or, Whatnot like everybody's just a different animal and

1261
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:07,639
they're just like very chaotic type. Villains and, yeah really

1262
00:57:07,679 --> 00:57:10,239
really great. SERIES i think there's great story. Elements there's

1263
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:14,239
like reoccurring villains and just like very complicated like intermingling

1264
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:17,639
of like anti hero characters that evolved with the. Franchise

1265
00:57:17,719 --> 00:57:19,920
so it's just it's kind of got it. All and

1266
00:57:20,239 --> 00:57:22,320
for that being in THE ps, two like it's just

1267
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:25,639
such a special. FRANCHISE i never ended Up plane, four

1268
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:27,320
SO i do still want to cross it off my.

1269
00:57:28,519 --> 00:57:32,599
CHECKLIST i think it's thieves and times what it's. Called but,

1270
00:57:32,719 --> 00:57:36,199
no highly recommend the first three if, Anything, REALLY i

1271
00:57:36,199 --> 00:57:38,519
think you could skip one just because it's the most

1272
00:57:38,559 --> 00:57:41,480
like early arcade type, style whereas the second one feels

1273
00:57:41,519 --> 00:57:43,920
a lot more open. World and that's really when it got.

1274
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:46,760
Going in. Three it just built like three is where

1275
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,920
you could play as all the, characters whereas the first actually,

1276
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:51,320
no and then the second you can play as all the.

1277
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,800
Characters AND i think about, it but, Yeah Sly, cooper

1278
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:57,960
fantastic series and highly.

1279
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:02,239
Speaker 1: Recommend, YEAH i definitely need to jump into. That it's

1280
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:03,880
all a lot of, them if not all of, them

1281
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,599
are on the PlayStation, catalog so at some point Here

1282
00:58:06,679 --> 00:58:07,960
i'll jump in there check them.

1283
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:09,719
Speaker 2: Out hell, yeah soon.

1284
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: Enough, okay number five for, Me i'm curious if this

1285
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:14,400
is on your list just because of the lack of

1286
00:58:14,639 --> 00:58:17,719
number of games in the. Series but it's a little,

1287
00:58:17,719 --> 00:58:19,760
game a little series that we both, love a little

1288
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,519
one that we did a retrospective. On of, Course i'm

1289
00:58:22,519 --> 00:58:27,280
bringing In dishonored here From Arcane, studios SO i you,

1290
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,519
KNOW i really the only REASON i debated this is, because, like,

1291
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,239
okay there's two and like a half games in this, series,

1292
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:36,840
Right so it's kind of short in that. Way, No

1293
00:58:37,039 --> 00:58:38,800
death of The outsider is like a great. Game it,

1294
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:40,559
is you, know it is a shorter, game but it

1295
00:58:40,599 --> 00:58:43,719
is still like a full fully fledged game to its own.

1296
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:47,039
Extent BUT i also compare this to like Like, splunky for,

1297
00:58:47,039 --> 00:58:49,159
EXAMPLE i don't have on my. List there's There's splunky,

1298
00:58:49,159 --> 00:58:52,519
one There's splunky. Two technically there's actually Three splunky. Games

1299
00:58:52,559 --> 00:58:54,840
there is another, one BUT i don't really care much

1300
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:57,119
for the original, one like the prototype e sort of,

1301
00:58:57,159 --> 00:58:59,079
one and it's, like, okay that has like the same

1302
00:58:59,079 --> 00:59:01,400
amount of games As. Honored but for some, Reason dishonored

1303
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:03,920
feels more like a series than Like splunky does for some.

1304
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:07,199
Reason SO i really rattled around and Then, kirkland this

1305
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:10,000
is the part THAT i need your advice on because

1306
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:13,599
they do say that Death loop is in The dishonored.

1307
00:59:13,679 --> 00:59:16,880
Universe does that? COUNT i feel LIKE i give it

1308
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:20,840
like half of account or, something which that adds a

1309
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:22,400
lot BECAUSE i love that game a. Lot so that

1310
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:24,400
adds a ton to like The dishonored.

1311
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 2: Series even if it's like with that change your number

1312
00:59:26,039 --> 00:59:29,159
ran on four or? Whatever will that change your? Number

1313
00:59:29,159 --> 00:59:30,840
your number ranking if you Have Death loop on.

1314
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:35,039
Speaker 1: There, No, Ultimately i'm happy With disnored being on here

1315
00:59:35,039 --> 00:59:38,800
because like one and two are top fifteen all time

1316
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,000
games for, me And Deathly outsider IS i don't know

1317
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:42,519
WHERE i have it on my overall, ranking but it's

1318
00:59:42,519 --> 00:59:44,559
in my top hundred. Still, LIKE i love those two

1319
00:59:44,599 --> 00:59:46,679
games so, much and there's like the first game with

1320
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:48,679
ITS dlc that's like a ton of extra content and

1321
00:59:48,719 --> 00:59:51,320
almost feels like another point, Five so it feels like

1322
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:53,960
there is enough there for. Sure but, yeah if you

1323
00:59:54,039 --> 00:59:55,880
do Include Death, loop that bumps it. UP i mean

1324
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:58,920
Even redfall like has a like it's seemingly in the same.

1325
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:02,119
Universe there's like why and so many, references and you know,

1326
01:00:02,159 --> 01:00:04,079
WHAT i like Red. FALL i had a good time

1327
01:00:04,079 --> 01:00:05,800
playing Red. Fall it's not a great, game BUT i

1328
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,159
just Love arcade so much THAT i still had enough

1329
01:00:08,239 --> 01:00:11,400
enjoyment with. It So i'm not Counting Red. Fall i'm

1330
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:13,639
maybe sort of counting like twenty five percent Of Death.

1331
01:00:13,679 --> 01:00:16,320
Loop but even if it's Just disonder one and two

1332
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,360
and after The, outsider, fuck, Yeah LIKE i love those

1333
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:22,559
games so. Much obviously we did multiple episodes covering all of,

1334
01:00:22,639 --> 01:00:26,000
them but it's the freakin'. Vibes it's it's the, music

1335
01:00:26,039 --> 01:00:29,400
it's the insanely good level, design it's a great story and.

1336
01:00:29,519 --> 01:00:32,119
Characters it's like this gameplay that you can play over

1337
01:00:32,159 --> 01:00:35,159
and over again and the consequences to your. Actions and,

1338
01:00:35,239 --> 01:00:37,599
LIKE i love that each of the, games you, know

1339
01:00:37,639 --> 01:00:39,679
he Plays corvo and then you can Plays, down and

1340
01:00:39,679 --> 01:00:41,880
then you can play As corvola Or, emily and then

1341
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:43,719
you can play As, billy and each one of them

1342
01:00:43,719 --> 01:00:45,760
has like this different flavor and it just flushes out the.

1343
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:48,880
WORLD i love the lore Of dishonored as, well and

1344
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:50,679
like the people that have been marked and The outsider

1345
01:00:50,679 --> 01:00:54,840
and all this freaky weird. Stuff just such an unbelievably great.

1346
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,760
Series and, YEAH i do hope we get a new

1347
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:00,760
one at some point in our. LIFETIME i think that is.

1348
01:01:01,639 --> 01:01:03,119
LIKELY i think we will get a new one at some.

1349
01:01:03,159 --> 01:01:05,079
POINT i think it might take a while because obviously Have,

1350
01:01:05,079 --> 01:01:07,159
blade one of the arcanes got shut, down so it

1351
01:01:07,199 --> 01:01:09,639
might take a. While BUT i think at some point

1352
01:01:09,639 --> 01:01:11,599
we will have a new entry in this, series or you,

1353
01:01:11,639 --> 01:01:13,480
Know Death loupe. Too i'll take it and just make

1354
01:01:13,519 --> 01:01:18,280
it more connected To. Dishonored but, YEAH i love this,

1355
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,880
series and if you want to hear more about, that

1356
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:23,840
there's several episodes in a ranking all about my favorite

1357
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:25,960
moments and our favorite stuff from that beautiful.

1358
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:31,199
Speaker 2: Series, YEAH i am glad that you brought it up

1359
01:01:31,239 --> 01:01:35,440
here because my next pick Is. Dishonored, actually so here we.

1360
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,840
Go we're going back to, back So i'll just lead

1361
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:41,239
into my number, four which is The dishonored. FRANCHISE i

1362
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,199
didn't Have Death loop in there BECAUSE i didn't really

1363
01:01:43,199 --> 01:01:46,440
think about it being in the same, world and although

1364
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:47,559
it is in the same, WORLD i feel like it

1365
01:01:47,559 --> 01:01:50,000
plays very, different so MAYBE i wouldn't include, It BUT

1366
01:01:50,039 --> 01:01:53,280
i do like your twenty five percent inclusion factor in

1367
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,599
there for. Me if it's on there or if it's,

1368
01:01:55,639 --> 01:01:58,400
NOT i THINK i still have it in the same. Location. Though,

1369
01:01:59,599 --> 01:02:04,639
yeah it's only a handful of, games but like sometimes

1370
01:02:04,719 --> 01:02:07,440
quality over, quantity, man AND i feel like this is

1371
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:09,320
a franchise that very much has it for. Me it's

1372
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,000
also one THAT i might have argued to just put

1373
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,079
it on there BEFORE i even Played dishonored too or

1374
01:02:14,119 --> 01:02:16,760
the later, titles BECAUSE i just love that first game so,

1375
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:20,679
much including THE, DLCs like it just took over my.

1376
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:23,719
LIFE i feel like WHEN i Because dishonored came, OUT

1377
01:02:24,239 --> 01:02:26,280
i feel like you really excited for THE e three

1378
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:29,719
trailer look really. Cool reminded me Of, BioShock reminded me

1379
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:32,239
just WHAT i love about stealth games just to another.

1380
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:36,280
Level eventually got it on the, PlayStation you, KNOW i

1381
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:37,800
had a great. TIME i think it WAS ps three.

1382
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:41,480
Era it was. Fantastic but my eyes really like we're

1383
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,519
just awakened WHEN i acquired it ON pc and just

1384
01:02:45,639 --> 01:02:49,639
really like got like just kept replaying levels or maybe

1385
01:02:49,679 --> 01:02:52,440
just sequences of like getting really creative with kills and

1386
01:02:52,519 --> 01:02:55,360
just redoing that and like reading a lot more of

1387
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:57,559
the notes and really just getting fully immersed in the

1388
01:02:57,599 --> 01:03:00,280
world doing the multiple. Playthroughs that was WHEN i would

1389
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:01,840
like try and get all the trophies, too So i'm

1390
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:04,000
doing like all the different endings and just doing all

1391
01:03:04,039 --> 01:03:07,360
the unique. Things one of THEM i remember the hard

1392
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:10,000
one or hardish. One to get it was like kill

1393
01:03:10,079 --> 01:03:12,639
LIKE i don't, know eight people in less than a,

1394
01:03:12,679 --> 01:03:14,480
second so like you just really have to like get

1395
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:18,920
better with the time manipulation and, like, yeah, yeah. Fantastic

1396
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:21,119
and that's just the first. Game and then of course

1397
01:03:21,159 --> 01:03:24,360
we went through The arcane retro you Mean Dante AND

1398
01:03:24,719 --> 01:03:28,880
i was a can't rebirth With dishonored, two and that's

1399
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:31,639
still a game THAT i feel like I've it's almost

1400
01:03:31,639 --> 01:03:34,480
like my PlayStation era of Playing dishonored, one where LIKE

1401
01:03:34,519 --> 01:03:37,159
i played, IT i loved, it it was so, fantastic

1402
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:39,159
but that was like first play, through and NOW i

1403
01:03:39,159 --> 01:03:41,679
got to go through and like really just just live

1404
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:45,360
in the. Worlds but, yeah, no it's it's it's like

1405
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:49,440
a perfect evolution OF i, think like WHAT i want

1406
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:53,039
out of a first person's health. GAME i probably didn't

1407
01:03:53,039 --> 01:03:55,119
really play too many first person sealth, games at least

1408
01:03:55,159 --> 01:03:57,039
to that level where you have like a knife as

1409
01:03:57,079 --> 01:03:59,079
well as powers and a play like it was just so.

1410
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:03,880
Unique love the. WORLD i, YEAH i this is also a,

1411
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:07,079
franchise ESPECIALLY i guess specifically the first game THAT i

1412
01:04:07,199 --> 01:04:09,440
just every once in a, While i'll just get like

1413
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:11,960
A dishonored one guard quote in my, head you, know

01:04:18,599 --> 01:04:20,280
of these lines that come my. Head i'll be working

1417
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:22,880

by A guard And i'm, like, man, yeah LIKE i

1419

That i'm fully caught up in the whole. Series, MAN

1425
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:47,400
i hope we get other games because that's gonna be

1426
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:49,480
such a hype. Reveal if we get, that that's that's

1427
01:04:49,519 --> 01:04:51,840
obviously a day winner for the two of, us and

1428
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:53,119
that'd be. Fantastic.

1429
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:58,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, Absolutely oh what a, beautiful beautiful series that. Is,

1430

1436
01:05:14,079 --> 01:05:16,079
here for, Us and, YEAH i mean so much of

1437
01:05:16,079 --> 01:05:19,039
what you've already. Said for, me it's definitely that original,

1438
01:05:19,079 --> 01:05:22,280
trilogy you, know playing one and two. SPILTERING i still

1439
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:24,400
have the distinct memory of like playing it at my

1440
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:27,119
friend's house and The xbox was in his older brother's,

1441
01:05:27,159 --> 01:05:30,320
room so we'd be sitting on the floor playing Through Classic,

1442
01:05:30,519 --> 01:05:32,480
legendary you, know late into the. NIGHT i don't know

1443
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:34,719
where his brother, was but he definitely was not playing with,

1444
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:39,159
us but playing that campaign over and over, again screwing

1445
01:05:39,199 --> 01:05:41,400
around in some of the maps and just like you,

1446
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:43,840
know beating it On legendary and all that. Difficulty and

1447
01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:46,320
then three was the first one THAT i owned, myself and,

1448
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,679

1449
01:05:48,679 --> 01:05:52,159
i got finally Got, halo just, endless you, know custom

1450
01:05:52,199 --> 01:05:54,840
games late into the nights every weekend with the, boys

1451
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:58,320
making little maps of my own role playing with, friends

1452
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:01,639
playing multiplayers like whether it's competitive, stuff screwed around a

1453
01:06:01,679 --> 01:06:04,199
big team, battle and then just playing that campaign over

1454
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:07,679
and over and over. Again, Yeah Legendary, skulls getting the

1455
01:06:07,719 --> 01:06:10,119
high boost, armor getting every last thing you could do

1456
01:06:10,159 --> 01:06:12,000
in that, game finding all the easter, eggs all the

1457
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,079
weird little hidden stuff they, having like the Four runner

1458
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:17,559
bases or, whatever and you know it continued from, There

1459
01:06:17,559 --> 01:06:20,800
LIKE i ENJOYED. Odiosc that's the GAME i actually really

1460
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:22,800
want to replay BECAUSE i feel like the vibes of

1461
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:25,719
that seem like they're gonna hit real different. Today and

1462
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:29,000
OBVIOUSLY i played mostly the multiplayer, maps Loved reach as,

1463
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:30,599
well had a great time with, that and THEN i

1464
01:06:30,719 --> 01:06:32,199
kind of fell off for a, bit you. Know four

1465
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:33,840
didn't really do it for. ME i stall them played,

1466
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:36,119
five but THEN i did have like a return. Form

1467
01:06:36,119 --> 01:06:37,760
i've played a lot Of infinite AND i love that.

1468
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:39,800
GAME i think it's really. GREAT i still haven't played

1469
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:42,920
the campaign, actually just a ton of, multiplayer BUT i

1470
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:45,239
Love infinite as, well so it's been nice to have

1471
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:47,320
like a more recent thing and everyone's in All i'll

1472
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,519
just boot that up and just play a few rounds

1473
01:06:49,519 --> 01:06:52,400
and not anymore because the game passes seventy eight dollars per.

1474
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:55,199
Month but, yeah shout outs To Halo infinite and this

1475
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:57,440
series as a. Whole it's been with me for a

1476
01:06:57,519 --> 01:06:59,840
long ass time and it means so many different things to.

1477
01:06:59,880 --> 01:07:02,719
Me it's just like it's a first person, shooter but

1478
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:04,519
it's so much more than, that AND i can't think

1479
01:07:04,519 --> 01:07:06,719
of another first person shooter that has like just the

1480
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:09,760
amount of variety of experiences That halo has given. Me

1481
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:12,360
so mm. Hmm, Yeah we'll always love this, series even

1482
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:15,400
Like Halo wars that's fun. TOO i like some of that. Stuff,

1483
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:18,719
so uh, yeah shout outs To halo just eternally amazing.

1484
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:23,159
Speaker 2: Series, yeah absolutely, infected like just great game. Modes, Yeah

1485
01:07:23,199 --> 01:07:24,440
and the MORE i still on, THIS i feel like

1486
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:25,840
it should be a little bit higher on my, list

1487
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:29,559
But i'm okay with it being. Six you totally reminded

1488
01:07:29,599 --> 01:07:31,880
Me halo. Three that was the one that the last

1489
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:35,440
mission is you like just Going it's like you're driving

1490
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:38,039
on the War, hog like through just everything, exploding, RIGHT i,

1491

1492
01:07:39,719 --> 01:07:41,639

hit all go him AND i and same set up.

1494
01:07:44,719 --> 01:07:47,239
Absolutely His xbox was in his brother's, room so we'd

1495
01:07:47,239 --> 01:07:49,400
be sitting on the floor in his brother's. Room his

1496
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:51,480
brother's nowhere in, sight we don't know where the fuck he,

1497
01:07:51,639 --> 01:07:54,119
is but that would be The xbox gaming session. Room

1498
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:57,679
and we played through the Whole halo three campaign in one,

1499
01:07:57,840 --> 01:07:59,719
day like like it was like A saturday or, something

1500
01:07:59,719 --> 01:08:02,639
probably after. Soccer after soccer would go to his house

1501
01:08:02,679 --> 01:08:04,599
and we would just we just Play. Halo AND i

1502
01:08:04,599 --> 01:08:08,400
remember distinctly being like midnight that mission's booting up And he's,

1503
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:09,960
like this is the last mission of the, game and

1504
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:12,559
it was just so epic to be able to play through,

1505
01:08:12,559 --> 01:08:15,159
that uh you know together and especially that we did

1506
01:08:15,159 --> 01:08:19,319
like the whole journey through through the. Campaign, yeah special

1507
01:08:19,359 --> 01:08:25,000
special memories, there so shut out to. You top three,

1508
01:08:25,039 --> 01:08:28,319
man this is. Crazy so obviously we got to have

1509
01:08:28,359 --> 01:08:31,840
a big game, here big franchise in the top. Three and,

1510
01:08:32,239 --> 01:08:36,439
uh my number three game has three digits in its.

1511
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:45,680
NAME i got gta here as my Never yeah for for,

1512
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:47,319
me the reason why it's so high up on the

1513
01:08:47,359 --> 01:08:50,960
list here is just the deep. Seat nostalgia's the word

1514
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:52,840
of the day for me when it comes to this

1515
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:56,960
list and my favorit. Franchises but, yeah Playing Grand Theft

1516
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:00,560
auto with my cousin and my, uncle like probably played

1517
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:03,760
way too young looking back on, it PLAYING ps one

1518
01:09:04,399 --> 01:09:06,239
era like the top, DOWN i was.

1519
01:09:06,239 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 1: Right to not sell you far at the historic absolutely.

1520
01:09:10,199 --> 01:09:12,079
Speaker 2: Well my uncle was. There it was a parental, guardian

1521
01:09:12,119 --> 01:09:14,760
so it was it was, fine even though still probably

1522
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:17,159
should have been. PLAYED i actually remember him, saying don't

1523
01:09:17,199 --> 01:09:18,840
let your mom know that you're playing this, game so

1524
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:24,199
they're gonna. Go that was a good little yeah whatever memory.

1525
01:09:24,239 --> 01:09:27,479
There but, YEAH i Think i've played the vast majority

1526
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:29,399
of all the like ninety plus percent of all of these.

1527
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:31,760
Games there's probably like the random little offshoot, ones And

1528
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:35,159
i'm kind of forgetting About Chinatown wars stuff like. THAT

1529
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:39,520
i think that is a standalone. Title but, YEAH i

1530
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:42,840
mostly play these with my cousin and my uncle up

1531
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:49,000
UNTIL gta. FOUR i believe so like they would have

1532
01:09:49,039 --> 01:09:50,760
them and Then i'll go over to their house and

1533
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:53,119
they would just have and like me and my cousin

1534
01:09:53,159 --> 01:09:55,319
would just just hand off the. Remote we knew like

1535
01:09:55,399 --> 01:09:57,479
all of the cheats off by. Heart we would have

1536
01:09:57,479 --> 01:09:59,079
like our different weapon packs THAT i would know this,

1537
01:09:59,119 --> 01:10:03,560
one he would know this. One and probably didn't beat

1538
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:06,159
a story of the game until like way later on

1539
01:10:06,199 --> 01:10:08,199
WHEN i was playing LIKE. Gt San andres on THE.

1540
01:10:08,239 --> 01:10:11,279
PC i THINK i might have talked about a little.

1541
01:10:11,279 --> 01:10:14,159
Bit but MY Gt San andres multiplayer mod experience too

1542
01:10:14,279 --> 01:10:16,239
is that's some of the best gaming Time i've ever

1543
01:10:16,279 --> 01:10:19,479
had in my entire. Life that's like before THE gt five.

1544
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:24,199
Online that was just good OLD pc motters back, then

1545
01:10:24,399 --> 01:10:26,119
AND i played the shit out of. That it was

1546
01:10:26,119 --> 01:10:27,960
like a role playing, world So i'd be playing as

1547
01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:29,800
like a cop and, stuff like, that and that was

1548
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:32,560
Like San Andres, era so like like just way before

1549
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:34,800
what they have, now but so much fun with that.

1550
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:37,680
FRANCHISE i think it's one of those things where, like

1551
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:40,399
as long As i'm still, Alive i'm probably always gonna

1552
01:10:40,399 --> 01:10:42,479
be buying the NEXT, Gta LIKE i think it'll just

1553
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:46,239
always be following me WHEREVER i. Go it's just such

1554
01:10:46,239 --> 01:10:50,800
a unique franchise that Like rockstar has able to just

1555
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:54,199
carve out for, Themselves like there is Other Sandbox Open world,

1556
01:10:54,199 --> 01:10:56,159
games but there's only ONE. Gta as weird as that,

1557
01:10:56,199 --> 01:10:58,119
sounds but like that that is like a true. Statement

1558
01:10:58,239 --> 01:11:01,319
SO i, YEAH i think it's so. FANTASTIC i think

1559
01:11:01,359 --> 01:11:03,520
it's worthy of all the. PRAISE i think it's worthy

1560
01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:06,319
worthy of being one hundred and twenty dollars or whatever

1561
01:11:06,319 --> 01:11:07,760
the hell it is to come. Out if they're putting

1562
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:09,880
in billions upon billions of dollars to make it like

1563
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:15,079
it's just such a special. Thing, yeah but as a,

1564
01:11:15,119 --> 01:11:18,279
CONSUMER i don't like that. Price BUT, gta, MAN i

1565
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:22,039
love all these. Titles. YEAH i don't really have much

1566
01:11:22,039 --> 01:11:22,479
more to say on.

1567
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 1: That great, pick great. Pick H, okay let's get into

1576
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:52,439

i die, now and that has mostly stayed the. Course

1595
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:38,680
there's been a couple of games WHERE i haven't loved

1596
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:40,520
them as. Much we talked about that even recently on

1597
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:42,239
our episode we were talking About fates and how it's

1598
01:12:42,239 --> 01:12:44,720
not like our, favorite but Like awakening was a huge

1599
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:47,279
point in the, Series path Of radiance And Radiant, dawn

1600
01:12:47,319 --> 01:12:50,039
like that little duology there is. GREAT i love Three,

1601
01:12:50,079 --> 01:12:53,399
houses uh and you, know going back playing like the

1602
01:12:53,399 --> 01:12:55,520
other Game Boy advance When Blinding blade Or Blazing, blade

1603
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:57,760
always forget what one it is the name is. There but,

1604
01:12:58,039 --> 01:12:59,840
YEAH i JUST i do love this. Series all of

1605
01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:03,359
it has very distinct, eras like That Game Boy Advanced trilogy,

1606
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:06,319
era the little the two game, game Cub wei game

1607
01:13:06,359 --> 01:13:09,079
which are nice pairing, together that THREE ds, era which

1608
01:13:09,119 --> 01:13:11,239
is like, huge there's so many games in, there and

1609
01:13:11,239 --> 01:13:13,640
then like this new kind of era of it with

1610
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:16,000
the switch games which are like also have like their

1611
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:19,159
different flavor to. Them and, yeah Like, fortunes weave very

1612
01:13:19,159 --> 01:13:20,600
curious to see what's going on. There it seems like

1613
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:23,680
there's some new fresh. Things this one is a series

1614
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:26,239
that doesn't have like as many, spinoffs BUT i have

1615
01:13:26,279 --> 01:13:28,560
played Like The, phone the Two phone games that. Exist

1616
01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:30,920
i'm not a big fan of those, necessarily but for,

1617
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:33,319
me it's really Like Sacred stones And path Of, radiance

1618
01:13:33,319 --> 01:13:35,279
two of my favorite games of all. Time and then

1619
01:13:35,319 --> 01:13:37,399
even below, that two games THAT i love a, lot

1620
01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:40,840

1621
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:45,119
there And, Awakening like those are five amazing games all

1622
01:13:45,159 --> 01:13:47,000
part of the same. Series is pretty. Amazing then there's

1623
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:48,600
even a couple other ONES i enjoy on top of.

1624
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:51,279
That so this one, DEFINITELY i think the reason it's

1625
01:13:51,279 --> 01:13:54,399
so high on my list is just because of, quantity you,

1626
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:58,600

1627
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:01,840

1628
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:04,079
games The Fire, emblems it's it's got the. Heat, man

1630
01:14:06,319 --> 01:14:10,039
to the the series ranking part of. It so, yeah

01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:21,199
Speaker 1: There before we get into your number, Two, kirkland how

1638
01:14:25,359 --> 01:14:29,000

01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:33,479
okay we are, Back, kirkland take it, away number.

1640
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 2: Two all, right number two here a little bit of

1641
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:45,600
a one two punch. ACTION i have the franchise or

1642
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:51,199
game series known to many folks As Total. War, ah,

1643
01:14:51,279 --> 01:14:56,079
yes just the one, Title Total. War they've done their historical.

1644
01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:59,079
Titles they've also done the more fantasy, titles WHICH i

1645
01:14:59,119 --> 01:15:04,000
personally love The Total War warhammer series as well As Three.

1646
01:15:04,119 --> 01:15:07,239
Kingdoms that one's a little bit more, fantastical although it

1647
01:15:07,359 --> 01:15:10,760
still has a little bit more historical ties to make

1648
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:13,319
it more. Grounded but, yeah this is.

1649
01:15:13,239 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 1: A Very Total war as a. Whole all of all

1650
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:18,079
of the.

1651
01:15:18,079 --> 01:15:21,359
Speaker 2: TITLES i haven't played all of all of the, titles

1652
01:15:21,439 --> 01:15:23,039
SO i GUESS i could say all the TITLES i have,

1653
01:15:23,119 --> 01:15:25,479
played but, no this is an interesting franchise for me

1654
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:30,520
where Although Total War warhammer is like my top two

1655
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:32,800
or three games of all, time can't remember which one

1656
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:34,880
it is on my, list it's definitely two or, three but,

1657
01:15:37,279 --> 01:15:40,319
like although that game is my favorite at the, moment

1658
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:42,680
and like at this later stage of My Total war,

1659
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:45,119
EXPERIENCE i my, journey my journey With Total war actually

1660
01:15:45,159 --> 01:15:48,960
started with historical, titles Specifically. Medieval that was just like

1661
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:51,680
my first time seeing The Total war franchise and seeing

1662
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:54,760
like where you could have just thousands of units on

1663
01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:57,279
like on an actual BECAUSE i grew up playing rts's

1664
01:15:57,319 --> 01:15:59,960
where you, know you select thirty units, max and that's

1665
01:16:00,079 --> 01:16:02,319
kind of like your, army whereas in here you select

1666
01:16:02,359 --> 01:16:04,159
one unit of one hundred and twenty men and then

1667
01:16:04,199 --> 01:16:08,239
you scale out and it's just like these, massive slow paced.

1668
01:16:08,239 --> 01:16:12,119
Battles that's just so. DIFFERENT i really rewire my arts

1669
01:16:12,199 --> 01:16:14,560
brain WHEN i got into, that AND i was so

1670
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:17,520
god awful at those. GAMES i would pretty much just

1671
01:16:17,560 --> 01:16:19,119
treat it like a turn base BECAUSE i was so

1672
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:22,479
awful at the battles. THEMSELVES i would treat it like

1673
01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:24,840
an ARTS i would just throw all my units at,

1674
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:27,159
once not really thinking about formations or anything like. That

1675
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:30,359
BUT i still just loved the element of like building

1676
01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:34,239
up and like your your kingdoms and just doing trade

1677
01:16:34,279 --> 01:16:37,039
and marrying off people and and doing like all the

1678
01:16:37,079 --> 01:16:41,680
different just Like kingly type strategies that you'd be doing

1679
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:45,840
in that medieval. Era and then LIKE i felt like

1680
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:48,640
it was one of those franchises Also Total war being

1681
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:50,680
the one that like it doesn't matter if you're PLAYING

1682
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:58,199
I tila Or medieval Or Showgun, Napoleon, LIKE i feel

1683
01:16:58,239 --> 01:17:01,199
like the main element of the game is, there so

1684
01:17:01,239 --> 01:17:04,800
you could you could do pretty decent with like the campaign,

1685
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:07,840
side like you might have to LEARN i don't, know

1686
01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:09,800
each of them have their own little tweaks to the

1687
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:13,560
mechanics and whatnot with with politicking or, whatnot or maybe just,

1688
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:18,920
trades but the gameplay is so different amongst the, two

1689
01:17:19,039 --> 01:17:22,000
like and specifically on the battle, side so maybe like

1690
01:17:22,039 --> 01:17:24,520
the campaign map is a little bit more, interchangeable but

1691
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,680
just like actually going on the ground with like let's

1692
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:31,079
say A tila where cavalry is so, strong very very

1693
01:17:31,079 --> 01:17:36,720
fast paced battles like what they call horse archers are

1694
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:39,760
just like the gud to your, unit where Like napoleon

1695
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:42,039
where you just have like musket, lines and like it

1696
01:17:42,159 --> 01:17:46,640
just really changes the the. STRATEGY i think that goes

1697
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:49,239
along with the. Game so it's just such a special

1698
01:17:49,239 --> 01:17:51,840
franchise to me THAT i feel you get so much

1699
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:53,840
by only playing total war. Games it's not like you're

1700
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,920
just limiting yourself the only playing a very specific type of.

1701
01:17:57,239 --> 01:18:01,720
Strategy you really get just exposure to different wartime. Strategies so,

1702
01:18:02,079 --> 01:18:05,560
YEAH i love the series so. Much my favorite obviously

1703
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:09,119
is The warhammer. ONE i could probably do like a

1704
01:18:09,279 --> 01:18:11,600
tier ranking honestly of all the ONES i. Played Maybe

1705
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:14,479
i'll do that in the future episode at some, time

1706
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:16,800
BECAUSE i Think i've played at least ten of, them

1707
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:20,359
SO i could definitely do a top ten Or but,

1708
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:23,880
YEAH i, KNOW I i truly truly love the those

1709
01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:27,079
games and really worthy on my my top two. There

1710
01:18:27,119 --> 01:18:31,680
and like Also I've i've just found out That medieval

1711
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:36,000
two has a plethora of fantastic like full overhaul mods

1712
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:39,640
where people like like they'll they'll just rework all of

1713
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:42,880
the armies so that it's like The warcraft, armies so

1714
01:18:43,039 --> 01:18:45,880
like like Like world Of warcraft that, era where like

1715
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:49,680
the different factions Like lordron and and and things like

1716
01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:52,560
that or Not. Lordrin that's a that's A Dark souls.

1717
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:56,079
Thing i'm mixing up my. Worlds But i'm a little,

1718
01:18:56,159 --> 01:19:00,359
UNFAMILIAR i guess with with The warcraft citizens and. Whatnot

1719
01:19:00,359 --> 01:19:03,039
but still there's just so many variations of the world

1720
01:19:03,199 --> 01:19:06,159
that you can just get mods on there to change

1721
01:19:06,199 --> 01:19:09,640
the whole game and. Whatnot but really really special franchise and,

1722
01:19:10,279 --> 01:19:12,199
yeah got exposed to a really really long time ago

1723
01:19:12,239 --> 01:19:14,359
and it's still with me today AND i feel like

1724
01:19:14,399 --> 01:19:15,479
that's worthy of being on the.

1725
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:20,560
Speaker 1: Top two mm, hmm, Absolutely. Okay number two for me

1726
01:19:21,479 --> 01:19:23,560
is you KNOW i had followed already and Now i'm

1727
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:27,279
bringing another because the series with of course The Elder

1728
01:19:27,399 --> 01:19:31,000
scrolls one of course series that has been with me

1729
01:19:31,039 --> 01:19:33,680
for a very long time BECAUSE i Played marrowind at

1730
01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:36,479
a very young, age you, know discovered that just kind

1731
01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:39,199
of out of the blue and just blew my mind

1732
01:19:39,239 --> 01:19:41,319
as a, kid and still to this, day you, know

1733
01:19:41,399 --> 01:19:43,199
game has never blown my mind in that same way

1734
01:19:43,239 --> 01:19:45,840
of just, like, WELL i can walk, ANYWHERE i can

1735
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:48,880
go in any, BUILDING i can pick up any object

1736
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:51,920
in any of these. Rooms that's like a crazy level of,

1737
01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:54,399
detail AND i can talk to every single person and

1738
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:55,880
you know a lot of them churn out the same

1739
01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:59,439
messages over and, over but still it's. Insane and then, yeah,

1740
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:02,039
yeah it's theories that jumped up and LIKE i can

1741
01:20:02,079 --> 01:20:05,359
distinctly remember oblivion and seeing that for the first time

1742
01:20:05,399 --> 01:20:07,960
and being blown. AWAY i just like the visual quality of,

1743
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:09,319
it which is funny to go back on it now

1744
01:20:09,319 --> 01:20:10,920
and be, like, oh, yeah the light in that game sucks,

1745
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:13,279
ass but, like you, know it's still has a very

1746
01:20:13,279 --> 01:20:16,000
special place in my. Heart and then just like at

1747
01:20:16,039 --> 01:20:19,600
that point After oblivion is, Like, okay Now i'm following games,

1748
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:21,479
More i'm keeping a closer eye on things that are coming,

1749
01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:24,159
out and, yeah like Still skyrim might be like the

1750
01:20:24,159 --> 01:20:28,760
most hyped game release ever of my entire, life and you,

1751
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:31,600
KNOW i still have a distinct memory of that first

1752
01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:33,479
moment of hitting that play button for the very first

1753
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:36,760
time and then sinking hundreds of hours into, it and,

1754
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:41,159
yeah just like eternally replayable. Games you, know Anytime i've

1755
01:20:41,199 --> 01:20:43,800
Replayed marwin over the last few, YEARS i discover new

1756
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:46,079
Things i've never seen. Before that's the case For oblivion as.

1757
01:20:46,079 --> 01:20:48,600
Well it's the case For. Skyrim so much to, do

1758
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:50,479
and that's even like without, Mods i'm not a really

1759
01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:52,840
a big moud, guy AND i still just find endless

1760
01:20:52,840 --> 01:20:55,119
things to do in those. GAMES i have gone back

1761
01:20:55,119 --> 01:20:59,880
and Tried arena And daggerfall And struggle with like just

1762
01:21:00,159 --> 01:21:02,039
you know how dated they are to some, extent but

1763
01:21:02,039 --> 01:21:04,000
it's still played a little bit of those, played like

1764
01:21:04,079 --> 01:21:06,640
all the, spinoffs like Tried Elder strolls online for a,

1765
01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:10,359
bit Played, legends Played. BLADES i kind of want them

1766
01:21:10,399 --> 01:21:12,119
to do a couple more. SPINOFFS i feel like there's

1767
01:21:12,159 --> 01:21:14,880
more potential With Elder, scrolls considering it takes so long

1768
01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:17,600
to get like a main game in the, series takes

1769
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:19,600
so long to make one of those at this. Point but,

1770
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:22,800
yeah just even between those three, Games Marwin Oblivion, SKYRIM

1771
01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:26,199
i mean that is one of THE i don't know

1772
01:21:26,239 --> 01:21:27,680
if you'd call it a trilogy in the sense that

1773
01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:29,319
like the their, third, fourth and fifth game in a.

1774
01:21:29,399 --> 01:21:32,960
Series but STILL i love those games so very, much

1775
01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:36,560
always will still waiting For Elder scroll. Six we'll see

1776
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:39,680
if that ever. Happens but, YEAH i mean those three

1777
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:43,359
games alone is just unbelievable amounts of hype and our

1778
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:46,880
count for me as well of just raw raw gaming

1779
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:50,039
going on. There so oh, yeah, Yeah Elder Scroll baby

1780
01:21:51,279 --> 01:21:51,840
heavy raw.

1781
01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:57,920
Speaker 2: GAMING i like. It oh, Yes Elder. Scrolls what a fantastic.

1782
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:02,319
Franchise not put it on my top ten THOUGH i

1783
01:22:02,359 --> 01:22:05,279
had to be real with, myself this was HONESTLY i

1784
01:22:05,279 --> 01:22:06,760
THINK i put it like number two WHEN i was

1785
01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:09,800
thinking of my initial, list but THEN i really had

1786
01:22:09,840 --> 01:22:11,800
to take a step back and like be real with,

1787
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:15,079
myself and it's, like, man, no you've only really Explored,

1788
01:22:15,359 --> 01:22:18,760
skyrim AND i know you've explored it a, lot many

1789
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:22,039
many thousands of, hours but still it's only the one

1790
01:22:22,079 --> 01:22:25,640
title not worthy of being just on the whole game series. List,

1791
01:22:26,399 --> 01:22:29,520
still do really want to go Through? Marwind Even oblivion

1792
01:22:30,199 --> 01:22:32,640
now they have the remaster that's even easier to do

1793
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:35,840
nowadays the MODERN i want to play through, There but,

1794
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:40,119
YEAH i just couldn't do. IT i think it's just

1795
01:22:40,119 --> 01:22:43,760
not enough exposure to the overall franchise and that's. That

1796
01:22:44,239 --> 01:22:45,039
SO i.

1797
01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:47,840
Speaker 1: Do let me throw a little pitch at you, here,

1798
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:50,920
okay BECAUSE i was thinking about this BECAUSE i do

1799
01:22:51,039 --> 01:22:53,279
want you to Play, marwind and maybe you've booted it.

1800
01:22:53,359 --> 01:22:55,880
UP i can't, remember BUT i was thinking maybe when

1801
01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:58,600
Eld scroll six finally like has a release date and

1802
01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:02,520
it feels, tangible like maybe we could DO i was

1803
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:03,960
thinking we could do two. Things we could do a

1804
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:06,520
little intro episode WHERE i literally an episode of the

1805
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:08,960
podcast WHERE i just tell you how to Enjoy, marwin

1806
01:23:09,079 --> 01:23:11,119
like the things you should, do that idea of how

1807
01:23:11,159 --> 01:23:13,560
to play, it the kind of class to, make you,

1808
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:16,399
know just little things that are really unintuitive if you

1809
01:23:16,439 --> 01:23:19,079
go back to and like, WHAT i can't just immediately fast,

1810
01:23:19,079 --> 01:23:21,880
travel what the? Hell SO i was thinking maybe we

1811
01:23:21,880 --> 01:23:23,039
could do, that like MAYBE.

1812
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:25,039
Speaker 2: I don't, know just a little session zero.

1813
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:27,760
Speaker 1: Most and then, yeah and then that would maybe we

1814
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:29,119
could do that and then just like come back in

1815
01:23:29,119 --> 01:23:31,119
like two or three months or, something however much time you.

1816
01:23:31,159 --> 01:23:33,119
Want maybe you don't like it at, all maybe even

1817
01:23:33,119 --> 01:23:34,680
with my tit you're, like, yeah this game, Sucks, Dyne

1818
01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:37,159
i'm not playing, this BUT i definitely want to talk

1819
01:23:37,159 --> 01:23:38,840
about marrow and more on the on the. Pod so

1820
01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:40,239
that's WHAT i was. Thinking maybe we could try that

1821
01:23:40,279 --> 01:23:43,079
at some. Point And, oblivion especially as you mentioned with that,

1822
01:23:43,119 --> 01:23:46,000
remaster it's that's an easy one to go back and

1823
01:23:46,079 --> 01:23:48,199
check out now with a more modern. Lens but, YEAH

1824
01:23:48,239 --> 01:23:50,439
i think marrowin there's a lot that you could love

1825
01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:50,800
about that.

1826
01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:54,039
Speaker 2: Game but as the games overall can be pretty savage

1827
01:23:54,039 --> 01:23:56,800
with their save. Points, uh you, know maybe you don't

1828
01:23:57,479 --> 01:23:59,319
you don't hit, checkpoint or maybe you just come into

1829
01:23:59,319 --> 01:24:01,520
a random situation you realize you didn't save and you

1830
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:03,399
go back to the when you first left the. Town

1831
01:24:04,039 --> 01:24:07,079
my exposure to, that my rude, awakening was the first

1832
01:24:07,119 --> 01:24:09,199
TIME i ever played Morrowind actually it was it was

1833
01:24:09,239 --> 01:24:11,079
leading up To. SKYRIM i got really excited for, that

1834
01:24:11,119 --> 01:24:13,760
SO i installed on THE pc and you do the whole.

1835
01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:18,199
INTRO i made my whole. Character but like it felt

1836
01:24:18,199 --> 01:24:20,800
LIKE i spent like almost two hours playing this. GAME

1837
01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:22,439
i got into a point WHERE i was playing this

1838
01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:24,560
bandit AND i don't even know where he came. FROM

1839
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:26,319
i THINK i entered a. Cavern he ran right at,

1840
01:24:26,359 --> 01:24:29,880
me jacked me, up killed. Me goes back to the

1841
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:31,880
very start of the. GAME i did not say, once

1842
01:24:32,039 --> 01:24:34,079
And i'm, like are you kidding? Me right? Now and,

1843
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:38,840
yeah that was my route awakening on learning the necessity

1844
01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:40,520
of quick. Saves ALTHOUGH i don't think there was like

1845
01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:43,199
a hot key for that back then on the early.

1846
01:24:43,239 --> 01:24:45,039
Game maybe maybe there. IS i did you play ON?

1847
01:24:45,039 --> 01:24:46,279
PC i did play it ON.

1848
01:24:46,319 --> 01:24:49,760
Speaker 1: Pc, yeah, yeah smashed that five? Button you're? Good, yeah, okay,

1849
01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:53,600
OKAY i THINK i THINK i know the specific one

1850
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:54,279
that you would have gone.

1851
01:24:54,319 --> 01:24:57,840
Speaker 2: To he fucked me. Out, Yeah i'm sure you would

1852
01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:01,039
have warned me about that in the little. Messages but

1853
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:04,079
here we are at the, top the tippy top of

1854
01:25:04,119 --> 01:25:09,840
my list here keeping with the theme of, nostalgia and

1855
01:25:10,079 --> 01:25:13,159
this IS i think arguably the most important one out

1856
01:25:13,159 --> 01:25:17,239
of all of the building blocks that are the early

1857
01:25:17,319 --> 01:25:20,720
formation of me being a. Gamer i'm not gonna beat

1858
01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:22,680
around the bush too much. Longer i'm gonna get right into.

1859
01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:26,920
It this is The age Of empires, franchise the number

1860
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:31,039
one game series in my opinion for, me AND i

1861
01:25:31,079 --> 01:25:32,920
will do a little asterix AND i am going to

1862
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:35,399
Include age Of mythology. HERE i, KNOW i, know it's

1863
01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:38,119
not An Age empire. Title it's by the same, makers

1864
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:41,560
same game, Engine dan Well, Near it's very similar type of.

1865
01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:44,319
Game BUT i JUST i you.

1866
01:25:44,399 --> 01:25:46,720
Speaker 1: Had Every mario, game SO i feel like that's.

1867
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:54,880
Speaker 2: Fine, platformers, PLATFORMERS i, Said but, NO i. YEAH i

1868
01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:56,840
like Everything i'm about to say About age Of. EMPIRES

1869
01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:58,840
i feel like was just elevated With mythology because it

1870
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:01,560
was just it added to that fantastical element THAT i,

1871
01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:04,000
love added god. Powers it was just the better game,

1872
01:26:04,079 --> 01:26:06,279
overall a lot more quality of. Life but it all

1873
01:26:06,279 --> 01:26:08,199
started With age Of. Empires it all start with that first.

1874
01:26:08,199 --> 01:26:11,960
GAME i was probably in diapers watching my dad play,

1875
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:14,760
this and like it was it was the something snapped

1876
01:26:14,760 --> 01:26:16,359
in my head THAT i just fell in love with

1877
01:26:16,399 --> 01:26:21,920
strategy because of, This and, YEAH i strategy is probably

1878
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:24,880
my favorite, thing like just like whether it's at board

1879
01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:28,640
game or, anything whether It's catan. Risk LIKE i feel

1880
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:31,640
like my deep seated love for strategy came from my

1881
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:34,239
early exposure To age Of. EMPIRES i fell in love,

1882
01:26:34,279 --> 01:26:38,319
with you, know movies Like troy or just stuff like,

1883
01:26:38,359 --> 01:26:41,560
that like, big ancient Like empires type. THINGS i just

1884
01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:44,239
really really grew in love with, that AND i think

1885
01:26:44,239 --> 01:26:47,119
it all started With age Of. EMPIRES i THINK i

1886
01:26:47,159 --> 01:26:48,720
was exposed to it before even like a lot of the,

1887
01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:52,479
movies like whether it WAS i don't, know historical pieces like,

1888
01:26:52,279 --> 01:26:55,199
It like it is just early early memories for, me

1889
01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:59,520
so many fantastic late night land. PARTIES i was so

1890
01:26:59,600 --> 01:27:01,680
blessed to be able to have like just those those

1891
01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:04,479
core memories as a kid with my, dad my dad's,

1892
01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:07,039
friend and Probably hidalgo was down, there my cousin was

1893
01:27:07,039 --> 01:27:08,960
included with my uncle and stuff like. That like we

1894
01:27:09,079 --> 01:27:12,079
just had so MANY PCs in my basement and we'd

1895
01:27:12,119 --> 01:27:15,319
just be rocking late night land parties and just just

1896
01:27:15,399 --> 01:27:19,279
going to war and so many. Betrayals it would always

1897
01:27:19,279 --> 01:27:21,359
go the same, route whether it Was risk Or age Of.

1898
01:27:21,359 --> 01:27:24,279
Empires me and my cousin would like secretly root against

1899
01:27:24,279 --> 01:27:26,479
my dad and then he would just destroy both of.

1900
01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:29,800
US i don't THINK i ever really beat. Him, actually

1901
01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:32,640
Maybe i'll have to try and take him on again these.

1902
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:34,800
Days but he's he's still, Active LIKE i don't think

1903
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:36,720
he's Playing Age empires as, much but he goes hard

1904
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:39,239
On rise Of, nations which is just another variant of.

1905
01:27:39,239 --> 01:27:42,279
Speaker 1: The would be a great segment on twenty four hour

1906
01:27:42,319 --> 01:27:44,079
stream you versus your dad age.

1907
01:27:44,159 --> 01:27:46,399
Speaker 2: Mythology he'd be, down he would want to be. DOWN

1908
01:27:46,439 --> 01:27:49,720
i would just have to get and set it. Up and,

1909
01:27:50,039 --> 01:27:52,800
yeah you could do like an hour maybe hour and

1910
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:56,399
a half long game that that would be. Perfect and uh, yeah,

1911
01:27:56,479 --> 01:27:58,840
Oh i'm. Nervous he's probably listening to this now, too

1912
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:01,920
and he's gonna get you start. Training come, on come,

1913
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:06,359
on you can do. It but, no it's very special

1914
01:28:06,359 --> 01:28:10,279
franchise to. Me, yeah it's just it's just one of those,

1915
01:28:10,439 --> 01:28:15,399
core like early base elements of creating the gamer that

1916
01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:19,680
Is kirkling AND i Think age Of empires is the

1917
01:28:19,720 --> 01:28:22,640
main brain of the whole, operation so shouts out to that.

1918
01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:27,600
Speaker 1: Franchise, yeah that one's definitely like you can obviously you

1919
01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:29,840
can see the stepping stone from that to Like total

1920
01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:32,880
War like that makes sense as a one two punch for.

1921
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:36,520
Speaker 2: Sure especially Like Total. Warhammer that's like the newest strategy

1922
01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:38,279
game THAT i am, playing number. Two but then the

1923
01:28:38,319 --> 01:28:40,960
early Kve man era Is age Of empires, one and

1924
01:28:41,239 --> 01:28:42,840
that was when when you, like you couldn't EVEN q.

1925
01:28:43,159 --> 01:28:46,039
Buildings it was. Ridiculous you would you would click create

1926
01:28:46,079 --> 01:28:48,880
one villager and you would have to wait because because

1927
01:28:48,880 --> 01:28:51,079
if you double click the, button you'd cancel the, building

1928
01:28:51,079 --> 01:28:53,000
whereas now you can just you, know load up like.

1929
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:56,880
Twelve The StarCraft players would be going crazy back, then

1930
01:28:57,039 --> 01:28:59,000
but that that was, It And fog Of war was

1931
01:28:59,039 --> 01:29:03,520
so brutal then early early. Days but, yeah good. Stuff, yeah, no.

1932
01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:05,079
Speaker 1: It's funny you mentioned that BECAUSE i feel like my

1933
01:29:05,119 --> 01:29:08,199
equivalent was Like tycoon, games like Roller Coaster, Tycoon oh,

1934
01:29:08,279 --> 01:29:11,359
yeah Zoo. TYCOON i was, like should SHOULD i bundle

1935
01:29:11,399 --> 01:29:14,279
These tycoon? Games its like one, series because like Roller Coaster,

1936
01:29:14,319 --> 01:29:16,359
TEQUON i just played like a couple of those. Games

1937
01:29:16,600 --> 01:29:20,199
ultimately obviously didn't make the top ten but definitely games

1938
01:29:20,600 --> 01:29:22,640
types of GAMES i love playing as a. Kid but

1939
01:29:23,159 --> 01:29:24,880
another ONE i loved playing as a kid and still

1940
01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:27,359
do up until just a few days, ago played this

1941
01:29:27,439 --> 01:29:30,119
series AND i probably no surprise to anyone at, all

1942
01:29:30,159 --> 01:29:32,640
but it is the Super Smash. Bros. Series so look

1943
01:29:32,680 --> 01:29:34,000
at this in my top. THREE i had a couple

1944
01:29:34,079 --> 01:29:39,520
More nintendo series to round it out, here BUT I smash,

1945
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:42,760
is LIKE i was gonna, say, game but it might

1946
01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:46,800
just be the one thing THAT i know the most things,

1947
01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:50,399
about and like it's my greatest like knowledge base. Potentially

1948
01:29:50,399 --> 01:29:52,560
LIKE i, WAS i feel LIKE i could just do

1949
01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:55,600
a two hour podcast telling you only about like the

1950
01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:57,920
character Of Donkey kong And. MELEE i could probably do

1951
01:29:57,960 --> 01:30:00,680
a two hour podcast, easy just talking about that one

1952
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:03,279
character and all the nuance and all the little. Details

1953
01:30:04,159 --> 01:30:06,720
let alone this SERIES i could talk about, endlessly AND

1954
01:30:06,760 --> 01:30:09,960
i definitely plan. To now That sacri is done Making

1955
01:30:10,039 --> 01:30:11,800
kirby A, RIDERS i feel like we're gonna do a

1956
01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:14,159
lot Of smash related episodes in the in the next

1957
01:30:14,199 --> 01:30:15,840
couple of years, here so look forward to that. Stuff

1958
01:30:15,840 --> 01:30:18,359

that had going on There smash four of just like,

1968
01:30:45,439 --> 01:30:46,920
WHOA i can play this on the go now with

1969
01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:48,840
a THREE ds and there's two versions of the, game

1970
01:30:49,199 --> 01:30:51,439
and then like bring it all home With ultimate and

1971
01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:54,439
just being the ultimate collection of bringing every single character.

1972
01:30:54,479 --> 01:30:56,880
Back And i'm just such a nerd for like the,

1973
01:30:57,079 --> 01:30:59,680
rosters the characters who have been cut or added and

1974
01:30:59,680 --> 01:31:01,439
they care they have changed over the, years and the

1975
01:31:01,439 --> 01:31:04,000
best maps from all the different, games and So ultimate

1976
01:31:04,039 --> 01:31:06,079
to kind of be that culmination of bringing back all that.

1977
01:31:06,119 --> 01:31:10,119
Stuff just such a satisfying game That i've spent hundreds

1978
01:31:10,119 --> 01:31:13,199
of hours, into not to mention the amount of competitive

1979
01:31:13,279 --> 01:31:16,000
Hours i've spent grinding these games and learning the in depth,

1980
01:31:16,039 --> 01:31:18,920
mechanics mostly With melee And. Ultimate in terms of term and,

1981
01:31:18,920 --> 01:31:20,920
stuff even playing Like project dam which is a mod For,

1982
01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:23,279
brawl not a big, mod, GUYS i mentioned with older,

1983
01:31:23,319 --> 01:31:25,920
scrolls but like still have played a bunch of. That and,

1984
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:29,159
YEAH i just love this series so. MUCH i love

1985
01:31:29,279 --> 01:31:32,880
just thinking about the rosters and the characters and all the.

1986
01:31:32,960 --> 01:31:35,760
Creativity it's like just the best soundtrack because it has

1987
01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:38,760
the best music from all the best games. Ever it's

1988
01:31:39,079 --> 01:31:41,439
it really is just like a celebration of, games and

1989
01:31:41,479 --> 01:31:43,880
so it feels perfect that it's like my number one

1990
01:31:43,960 --> 01:31:47,199
game series because it's kind of a. Culmination it Features,

1991
01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:50,800
zelda Features, mario Features donkey and all these other great

1992
01:31:50,800 --> 01:31:52,399
series THAT i love that didn't quite make it in

1993
01:31:52,439 --> 01:31:54,399
my top, ten but it is kind of just that,

1994
01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:57,840
big cumulating cumulation of it. All so, YEAH i MEAN

1995

01:32:34,159 --> 01:32:37,159
Speaker 2: Love it's the. Best not too surprise it was gonna

2010
01:32:37,159 --> 01:32:37,560
be a number.

2011
01:32:37,560 --> 01:32:40,079
Speaker 1: One but, yeah my one and, Two LIKE i don't

2012
01:32:40,079 --> 01:32:41,520
even have to think about. THAT i was just, like,

2013
01:32:42,159 --> 01:32:44,920
yeah immediate type them on the, list and then the other.

2014
01:32:44,960 --> 01:32:48,239
STUFF a lot of fan dangling happened, there but, Yeah smash.

2015
01:32:48,239 --> 01:32:54,760
Bros hell, yeah let's let's rifle off some honorable mentions.

2016
01:32:54,800 --> 01:32:59,439
Here let's, See i'm trying to think if We, OKAY

2017
01:32:59,439 --> 01:33:02,159
i was kind of surprised when we got down, to

2018
01:33:02,239 --> 01:33:04,000
like your number. One i'm, like there's no way this

2019
01:33:04,039 --> 01:33:05,479
is your number. One But i'm kind of Surprised call

2020
01:33:05,479 --> 01:33:06,399
Of duty wasn't on your.

2021
01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:10,439
Speaker 2: List yeah it was at the. START i had it

2022
01:33:10,479 --> 01:33:14,640
at ten to begin. With, okay very special franchise to,

2023
01:33:14,680 --> 01:33:17,039
me Like i've put so many hours into.

2024
01:33:17,119 --> 01:33:18,399
Speaker 1: It but.

2025
01:33:20,079 --> 01:33:22,039
Speaker 2: LIKE i do have nostalgia for, it but it seems

2026
01:33:22,079 --> 01:33:24,199
like later nostalgia like WHEN i was like a young

2027
01:33:24,239 --> 01:33:26,600
adult era is like kind of WHEN i peeked on, it,

2028
01:33:28,359 --> 01:33:31,319
WELL i guess not like grade, nine grade nine, ten

2029
01:33:31,399 --> 01:33:33,840
that probably would have been like the Peak call Of duty,

2030
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:36,920
Era and then it felt like After Modern work for two,

2031
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:41,119
specifically it was just like the diagram was already starting

2032
01:33:41,119 --> 01:33:42,680
to dip a little, bit like we like we get

2033
01:33:42,680 --> 01:33:46,239
Into Black ops, one which had great, times but like

2034
01:33:46,520 --> 01:33:49,079
it still just didn't feel like My call Of. DUTY

2035
01:33:49,159 --> 01:33:51,560
i had very fond memories of, it but it was

2036
01:33:51,560 --> 01:33:54,319
never one THAT i like got max prestige and really

2037
01:33:54,359 --> 01:33:56,439
really just felt LIKE i was at the tip top

2038
01:33:56,479 --> 01:33:59,079
of my game in those eras Of call Of. Duty's

2039
01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:02,319
and that's not to say that like my love of

2040
01:34:02,359 --> 01:34:05,800
it really went. Away then it just felt, Like, okay,

2041
01:34:05,840 --> 01:34:08,279
YEAH i, know it's a little bit past me on

2042
01:34:08,319 --> 01:34:10,439
the peak. There AND i think for that, reason there

2043
01:34:10,479 --> 01:34:12,600
was never like another game that just like shot it,

2044
01:34:12,640 --> 01:34:15,840
back like you, know War zone's been fantastic. ALSO i

2045
01:34:15,840 --> 01:34:19,760
think that's, yeah a big reason why it's like solidified

2046
01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:21,920
as like probably the first honorable mention like it like

2047
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:23,920
it is one that was just on the precipice of

2048
01:34:23,960 --> 01:34:27,479
making it close for me as. Well, yeah and, yeah,

2049
01:34:27,560 --> 01:34:31,760
no definitely household. Name when you hear cod you know

2050
01:34:31,800 --> 01:34:32,399
what you're talking.

2051
01:34:32,399 --> 01:34:36,560
Speaker 1: About, yeah, YEAH i don't have that love for it,

2052
01:34:36,600 --> 01:34:38,359
anymore AND i think that's why it's not on my

2053
01:34:38,439 --> 01:34:41,199
top ten. Today but, yeah if you even go back five,

2054
01:34:41,279 --> 01:34:43,600
years it would have for sure been on. There you,

2055
01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:45,279
know ten, years it would have been like maybe my

2056
01:34:45,359 --> 01:34:48,119
top three level of series probably would have crushed anything

2057
01:34:48,119 --> 01:34:51,359
except For smash And Elder. Scrolls but, yeah it's just

2058
01:34:51,359 --> 01:34:53,640
LIKE i have a different relationship with it now AND

2059
01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:56,600
i just don't really like what it is, anymore and

2060
01:34:56,640 --> 01:34:59,279
it's just not that time and place, thing you. Know but,

2061
01:34:59,439 --> 01:35:02,039
yeah it's still obviously big honorable mention, there And i've

2062
01:35:02,039 --> 01:35:04,800
played a ton of those, games like just once, again quantity,

2063
01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:09,399
wise it's it's definitely up. There let's see what. Else

2064
01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:11,840
another one that was pretty close for, me similar to

2065
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:15,399
your one and, two Is. CIVILIZATION i love, five that's

2066
01:35:15,399 --> 01:35:17,439
obviously my favorite, one BUT i also love three back

2067
01:35:17,479 --> 01:35:19,920
in the, day and you, know six is. OKAY i

2068
01:35:19,920 --> 01:35:22,239
think what could have kicked this one on the list

2069
01:35:22,239 --> 01:35:24,720
for me is, seven which came out this, year like

2070
01:35:24,800 --> 01:35:26,920
just it was so bugyet. LAUNCH i did play a

2071
01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:28,600
lot of, it AND i do like the. GAME i

2072
01:35:28,600 --> 01:35:30,880
think it's really, cool BUT i was just still waiting

2073
01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:33,720
for it to be fixed and like fully. RELEASED i

2074
01:35:33,720 --> 01:35:36,439
feel like past its quote unquote early access stage that

2075
01:35:36,479 --> 01:35:39,000
it's not technically, in and Then i'll play a bunch

2076
01:35:39,039 --> 01:35:41,920
more of that and maybe, maybe just maybe THIS sive

2077
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:44,840
series would jump into that top, ten because that's definitely

2078
01:35:44,840 --> 01:35:48,920
another longevity one for. Me zelda was also, close just

2079
01:35:48,920 --> 01:35:50,279
BECAUSE i do have a lot of love for a

2080
01:35:50,319 --> 01:35:53,880
bunch of those. Games but, yeah why why you? RIFLE

2081
01:35:53,880 --> 01:35:55,560
i have a few more, here why you rifle off

2082
01:35:55,560 --> 01:35:56,159
some honorable?

2083
01:35:56,159 --> 01:36:01,039
Speaker 2: Mentions uh? Yeah my next real close one THAT i,

2084
01:36:01,119 --> 01:36:08,159
had where DID i have? It The? OH i kind

2085
01:36:08,159 --> 01:36:12,359
of group THESE i put LIKE, FIFA nhl TWO, k Specifically,

2086
01:36:12,399 --> 01:36:14,560
Basketball LIKE i feel LIKE i just go through eras

2087
01:36:14,560 --> 01:36:17,479
with with sports, games WHERE i just get really, hooked

2088
01:36:17,520 --> 01:36:19,600
like a specific. Title i've even like played the show

2089
01:36:19,640 --> 01:36:21,600
a little, bit that's that baseball. Game not even a

2090
01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:23,439
fan of, baseball BUT i JUST i Just i'm a

2091
01:36:23,479 --> 01:36:27,119
fan for sports. Games they they got. ME fifa would

2092
01:36:27,159 --> 01:36:29,159
have been the one THAT i think would have maybe

2093
01:36:29,199 --> 01:36:31,800
made it on there on its, own But i'm just

2094
01:36:31,880 --> 01:36:36,520
totally distanced myself from that. FRANCHISE I i feel like

2095
01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:38,880
if there was an era though that like that could

2096
01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:41,000
have been my number two on this. List LIKE i

2097
01:36:41,600 --> 01:36:43,800
was just obsessed WITH. FIFA i WOULD i would be playing,

2098
01:36:43,880 --> 01:36:46,760
online LIKE i got really into The Ultimate. TEAM i

2099
01:36:46,800 --> 01:36:49,399
remember downloading the phone app and LIKE i feel like

2100
01:36:49,399 --> 01:36:51,239
a gambler back in the day in Like grade, eight

2101
01:36:51,319 --> 01:36:53,319
like like just trying to like get these these, cards

2102
01:36:53,359 --> 01:36:55,920
buying and, selling you, know buying, low selling. High LIKE

2103
01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:59,640
i was all in ON. Fifa there was PROBABLY fifa,

2104
01:36:59,640 --> 01:37:01,800
TWELVE i think that was that. Era so that was

2105
01:37:01,800 --> 01:37:05,119
probably like the PEAK fiva twelve, thirteen all the games

2106
01:37:05,159 --> 01:37:07,039
around those, Ones LIKE i THINK i was getting all

2107
01:37:07,079 --> 01:37:09,239
of them and really really into. It but then at

2108
01:37:09,239 --> 01:37:11,279
the same, time like growing, UP i played hockey and

2109
01:37:11,359 --> 01:37:13,399
every YEAR i bought A Nhl LIKE i was that

2110
01:37:13,479 --> 01:37:16,279
guy Where i'm Buying i'm buying a handful of, games

2111
01:37:16,319 --> 01:37:18,439
BUT i Know i'm buying the NEXT nhl every single,

2112
01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:21,840
Year like that was like a stretch for there and

2113
01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:25,479
then so, yeah it's kind OF i could, group LIKE

2114
01:37:25,600 --> 01:37:27,119
i GUESS i don't have to group them all because

2115
01:37:27,119 --> 01:37:30,399
they could all just be honorable. Mansions but, yeah definitely

2116
01:37:30,399 --> 01:37:32,319
not worthy of being on the top, ten just compared

2117
01:37:32,359 --> 01:37:35,439
to some other heavy hitters That i've had on my

2118
01:37:35,479 --> 01:37:38,039
top ten. Here but definitely got to shut out all those.

2119
01:37:38,039 --> 01:37:42,720
Games and, then, YEAH i already mentioned Cod another one

2120
01:37:42,720 --> 01:37:45,920
THAT i had on here Was, BioShock WHICH i initially

2121
01:37:45,960 --> 01:37:49,119
threw on, there BUT i really feel like it just

2122
01:37:49,159 --> 01:37:52,840
tapers down for. Me well maybe. Not, ACTUALLY i do

2123
01:37:52,920 --> 01:37:57,680
think infinite that's what it's, called, right, bashok. INFINITE i

2124
01:37:57,720 --> 01:37:59,720
do think that one is better than two just because

2125
01:37:59,720 --> 01:38:01,840
it's the story is just a little bit more. Interesting

2126
01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:05,000
but that first game is the top tenor of all

2127
01:38:05,039 --> 01:38:07,039
time for. ME i absolutely love that game so. Much

2128
01:38:07,079 --> 01:38:08,920
BUT i had to, LOOK i had to take a

2129
01:38:08,920 --> 01:38:10,960
step back and look at as a. Whole it's, like

2130
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:12,319
DO i really love this franchise or DO i just

2131
01:38:12,359 --> 01:38:14,159
love that first? Game AND i THINK i mostly just

2132
01:38:14,199 --> 01:38:17,199
love that first, game but still want to shout it

2133
01:38:17,199 --> 01:38:23,439
out and SO i can a few. More.

2134
01:38:24,359 --> 01:38:27,760
Speaker 1: YEAH i, mean one THAT i definitely considered is a Hit,

2135
01:38:27,840 --> 01:38:29,479
man because OBVIOUSLY.

2136
01:38:29,079 --> 01:38:30,239
Speaker 2: I had it on my list. Too those the next

2137
01:38:30,279 --> 01:38:30,960
ONE i was gonna shout.

2138
01:38:30,960 --> 01:38:33,119
Speaker 1: Out, yeah AND i think that would maybe make more

2139
01:38:33,159 --> 01:38:34,800
sense for you because you have the longevity with. It

2140
01:38:34,800 --> 01:38:36,439
you've played some of the older. Games i've only played

2141
01:38:36,439 --> 01:38:39,199
this new, trilogy which is like now kind of one,

2142
01:38:39,239 --> 01:38:41,560
game which you, know if anyone listened to our top

2143
01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:44,479
ten games ranking that we did as A bread And

2144
01:38:44,520 --> 01:38:46,079
butter in the in the, summer go check that. Out

2145
01:38:46,119 --> 01:38:48,680
if you, haven't it's On. PATREON i debated that with you.

2146
01:38:48,680 --> 01:38:50,800
Guys i'm, LIKE i don't, Know like they sold these

2147
01:38:50,800 --> 01:38:52,359
games as, one, two and, three but now they bundle

2148
01:38:52,359 --> 01:38:54,000
it into, one like is this one? Game is this?

2149
01:38:54,079 --> 01:38:56,319
Three and so it's, like if it is, three that

2150
01:38:56,399 --> 01:38:59,640
fits my series, eligibility but it feels, wrong SO i

2151
01:38:59,640 --> 01:39:01,920
didn't include. It it's. WEIRD i didn't include it in

2152
01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:03,479
my top ten is a one, game BUT i don't

2153
01:39:03,479 --> 01:39:06,560
include here as a. Series so it's just it's just

2154
01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:08,359
so weird the way that they release a. Name BUT

2155
01:39:09,800 --> 01:39:10,880
i think WHEN i go back and check with some

2156
01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:12,399
of the older, Ones i'm Sure i'm gonna love, those

2157
01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:15,039
or at least the good. Ones and, YEAH i think

2158
01:39:15,199 --> 01:39:16,920
someday it could definitely be in that top, ten but

2159
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:19,439
for right, now it's just a little Too. Soon shout

2160
01:39:19,479 --> 01:39:23,600
outs to The Ultimate alliance trilogy of, Games Mario party in,

2161
01:39:23,640 --> 01:39:28,479
General March, strikers that. Trilogy Sniper elite has become like

2162
01:39:28,560 --> 01:39:30,359
a real comfort food one for, me And i've played

2163
01:39:30,359 --> 01:39:33,279
a bunch of these games now and just really enjoy.

2164
01:39:33,359 --> 01:39:35,640
THEM i just they're not quite on that top ten level,

2165
01:39:35,680 --> 01:39:39,000
tier but they're definitely just like every time a new

2166
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:40,880
one comes, Out i'm probably gonna play it and probably

2167
01:39:40,920 --> 01:39:42,800
have a really good time and then you, know probably

2168
01:39:42,840 --> 01:39:44,600
not replayed a, bunch probably not think about it too,

2169
01:39:44,680 --> 01:39:46,479
much but just, like, YEAH i just, LIKE i just

2170
01:39:46,680 --> 01:39:51,039
like really enjoy the world Of Sniper. Elite two, games two,

2171
01:39:51,079 --> 01:39:54,359
SERIES i should, Say portal And Animal crossing to me

2172
01:39:54,520 --> 01:39:57,119
or too Like, Portal, yeah only, two you, know obviously

2173
01:39:57,159 --> 01:39:59,039
there's only Two portal games that just felt like not quite.

2174
01:39:59,199 --> 01:40:02,119
Enough saw An animal cross And i've most of the

2175
01:40:02,119 --> 01:40:04,600
game he, won and then Like New. Horizons you, KNOW

2176
01:40:04,640 --> 01:40:06,239
i Played New leaf on the THREE, ds but really

2177
01:40:06,319 --> 01:40:09,000
just the two games THAT i, loved so it just

2178
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:12,319
felt like a little didn't have quite enough sauce for.

2179
01:40:12,359 --> 01:40:14,800
It but then lastly ONE i wanted to show that

2180
01:40:14,840 --> 01:40:17,720
almost made it in my number ten actually is the

2181
01:40:17,840 --> 01:40:22,319
Jack Box party pack. Games you, know they are video,

2182
01:40:22,319 --> 01:40:24,399
games they're also kind of like party games or something.

2183
01:40:24,399 --> 01:40:27,880
Different but you, KNOW i have played almost all of

2184
01:40:27,880 --> 01:40:30,279
those now and they're just good. Fun they're just eat once,

2185
01:40:30,279 --> 01:40:32,720
again like The Mario karts The smashes in terms of

2186
01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:34,640
just like people who aren't big gamers can still have

2187
01:40:34,680 --> 01:40:37,319
a good time playing. Those and they're also like the

2188
01:40:37,319 --> 01:40:41,479
only video games my family. Plays my, sister my parents

2189
01:40:41,520 --> 01:40:44,479
are not gamers by any, extent but like even they

2190
01:40:44,520 --> 01:40:47,760
are into Jack, box that's always fun as. Well so,

2191
01:40:48,319 --> 01:40:50,840
yeah definitely worthy of a shout out BECAUSE i love

2192
01:40:50,920 --> 01:40:54,039
me some Jack. Box it's, good it's good. Fun. YEAH

2193
01:40:54,039 --> 01:40:56,279
i think that WAS i think that was EVERYTHING i

2194
01:40:56,319 --> 01:40:57,800
had for my honorable mentions.

2195
01:40:57,840 --> 01:41:04,680
Speaker 2: HERE i got more to rifle off. Here where WAS i? Him?

2196
01:41:04,680 --> 01:41:07,560
MAN i Had Assassin's creed on here, specifically like the

2197
01:41:07,560 --> 01:41:10,159
early versions of the, GAMES i was really hooked on

2198
01:41:10,199 --> 01:41:13,880
The desmond. STORYLINE i THINK i not quite To taylor's,

2199
01:41:13,920 --> 01:41:16,680
level but LIKE i was almost. THERE i THINK i

2200
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:22,800
was so. HOOKED i Think Assassin's creed two was amongst

2201
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:25,840
the most hype release THAT i, Had, like like Definitely

2202
01:41:25,880 --> 01:41:28,720
skyrin would probably be my number one personally like you were,

2203
01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:32,439
mentioning BUT i was JUST i THINK i played the

2204
01:41:32,439 --> 01:41:35,000
first game perfect timing because it was like leading up

2205
01:41:35,039 --> 01:41:38,119
To Assassin's creed two, release and just everything that it

2206
01:41:38,239 --> 01:41:41,239
improved upon was, like LIKE i loved Assass creed, one

2207
01:41:41,359 --> 01:41:44,840
But ossesscree two was just completely better in every single. Regard,

2208
01:41:45,319 --> 01:41:47,439
uh AND i got so hyped for. IT i love

2209
01:41:47,520 --> 01:41:49,960
the the era that we're, in like The Italian renaissance

2210
01:41:50,039 --> 01:41:52,520
was just so amazing AND i was all in. On

2211
01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:55,199
that was probably like my Peak ubisoft fandom, too SO

2212
01:41:55,279 --> 01:41:58,840
i like, on Like ubisoft can't miss these games are.

2213
01:41:58,920 --> 01:42:03,560
Perfect but DEFINITELY i THINK i just lost interest after

2214
01:42:03,600 --> 01:42:05,520
that storyline kind of, Ended Like i'm sure they keep

2215
01:42:05,560 --> 01:42:08,000
going with like building upon what was introduced. There BUT

2216
01:42:09,479 --> 01:42:13,439
i played a little bit Of Assessa's creed three actually

2217
01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:17,239
because the like on PlayStation, CATALOG i had The ubisoft

2218
01:42:17,680 --> 01:42:20,680
So i'm, like, yeah they got The sasakre three, remaster

2219
01:42:20,760 --> 01:42:22,920
let's get in. THERE i couldn't even get through like

2220
01:42:22,960 --> 01:42:26,239
the tutorial area because it's just so bland and dry

2221
01:42:26,319 --> 01:42:28,439
and like going through the story like the stuff THAT

2222
01:42:28,479 --> 01:42:31,039
i used to, LOVE i was just so not into.

2223
01:42:31,079 --> 01:42:32,920
It i'm, LIKE i just want to run around and assassinate,

2224
01:42:32,960 --> 01:42:34,800
people and it seemed like it took so long to

2225
01:42:34,800 --> 01:42:36,199
get to that, point SO i couldn't even really get

2226
01:42:36,239 --> 01:42:38,600
into that. Game but so, yeah My saskree era is

2227
01:42:38,640 --> 01:42:41,800
pretty much closed, now but that was definitely a special

2228
01:42:41,840 --> 01:42:46,880
time for me playing those. GAMES i Put diablo in,

2229
01:42:46,960 --> 01:42:51,880
here another franchise that kind of peaked with. TWO i played, one, two.

2230
01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:55,840
THREE i haven't played four, yet but two is like

2231
01:42:56,199 --> 01:42:59,960
the peak for. ME i went through BECAUSE i never

2232
01:43:00,119 --> 01:43:02,319
played one, before SO i went back a couple of years,

2233
01:43:02,319 --> 01:43:06,079
ago and it's a very hard. Game it's like very.

2234
01:43:06,159 --> 01:43:08,640
Unforgiving you have to like really kite like the Early.

2235
01:43:08,720 --> 01:43:10,760
Monsters then you have to like grind just to get

2236
01:43:10,800 --> 01:43:12,199
to a point that you could even like take on

2237
01:43:12,279 --> 01:43:14,560
the first, boss which is very different than like the previous.

2238
01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:18,720
Titles but, LIKE i think that was my first Dungeon

2239
01:43:18,720 --> 01:43:23,079
CALLER i ever, played and just, REALLY i don't, know

2240
01:43:23,199 --> 01:43:27,359
just just PERFECT pc game for that era OF i don't,

2241
01:43:27,399 --> 01:43:30,039
Know windows xpit whatever that, Was windows ninety, five that

2242
01:43:30,079 --> 01:43:32,640
era is it. Was it was just. Fantastic so shout

2243
01:43:32,640 --> 01:43:36,039
out To. Diablo and then what else DID i have on?

2244
01:43:36,119 --> 01:43:39,199
HERE i Had jack And, daxter, right maybe if we

2245
01:43:39,199 --> 01:43:40,680
did a, TRILOGY i think that would have been on.

2246
01:43:40,760 --> 01:43:44,319
THERE i love that game so. Much and then these

2247
01:43:44,359 --> 01:43:48,600
last two are pretty. Similar Ghost recon just as a.

2248
01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:52,560
WHOLE i, yeah nice one Like wildlands would have been

2249
01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:55,720
maybe like my peak favorite. One but LIKE i was

2250
01:43:55,720 --> 01:43:57,399
looking at some of the, games And i've kind of

2251
01:43:57,399 --> 01:43:59,840
played like majority of all The Ghost recon, games which

2252
01:43:59,880 --> 01:44:02,239
is kind of stret Like ghost Riecon advanced War. Fighter

2253
01:44:03,640 --> 01:44:06,359
like there's one just Called Ghost recon THAT i really.

2254
01:44:06,399 --> 01:44:08,000
LIKE i didn't recognize at, first BUT i was looking

2255
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:09,319
at some gameplay And i'm, LIKE i feel LIKE i

2256
01:44:09,319 --> 01:44:12,079
played this game at some, Point SO i think just

2257
01:44:12,119 --> 01:44:15,079
the tactical shooter, era and Then rainbow six was the

2258
01:44:15,079 --> 01:44:18,039
other ONE i was gonna mention, SPECIFICALLY i think like

2259
01:44:18,079 --> 01:44:21,399
The vegas era, Ones raymis Six, VEGAS raymba Six vegas,

2260
01:44:21,439 --> 01:44:24,000
TWO rabi Six vegas two was one of the EARLIEST

2261
01:44:24,039 --> 01:44:26,880
ps three GAMES i ever, owned AND i just grinded

2262
01:44:26,880 --> 01:44:29,520
that game so much with a couple of my, buddies

2263
01:44:29,560 --> 01:44:34,039
and just the tactical. SHOOTERS i think that's really just

2264
01:44:34,039 --> 01:44:37,239
just set set my enjoyment for that. Era, sorry that

2265
01:44:37,319 --> 01:44:40,119
genre of. Games so, yeah shout out to those. Ones

2266
01:44:40,159 --> 01:44:43,760
and that's, uh that's the rest of my my honorable mentions. There.

2267
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:47,000
Speaker 1: Beautiful, yeah you, know it's FUNNY i wondered because obviously

2268
01:44:47,039 --> 01:44:48,960
in the summer we did Our top ten, games an

2269
01:44:49,039 --> 01:44:51,199
updated version of, that AND i wonder how much of

2270
01:44:51,239 --> 01:44:53,960
this would be us just kind of, repeating you, know

2271
01:44:54,039 --> 01:44:57,159
those same series or, games and, obviously you know a

2272
01:44:57,159 --> 01:44:58,960
lot of the games that are in our top ten

2273
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:01,159
also end up being in our top. Series that just

2274
01:45:01,239 --> 01:45:03,319
kind of makes. Sense BUT i still think we found

2275
01:45:03,399 --> 01:45:06,399
some new parts of the swimming pool to dive around.

2276
01:45:06,399 --> 01:45:07,960
IN i feel like we found some different zones we

2277
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:10,159
haven't talked about. YET i know you've talked About Half life,

2278
01:45:10,199 --> 01:45:12,239
before but that was fun to hear about that some

2279
01:45:12,279 --> 01:45:14,439
more and just some of these different pockets of our.

2280
01:45:14,479 --> 01:45:16,720
Lives and, yeah it's fun to think about the longevity

2281
01:45:16,720 --> 01:45:19,119
