Speaker 1: It's the Internet. You're busy, Let's do this. Welcome to
the Game Mesticides podcast. This is the podcast where we
decide everything about the world of games so you never
have to think for yourself. I'm your host, Jeff Grubb,
and with me is Mike Manati. In today's episode, is
Borderlands four going to be eighty bucks? Bungee continues to
be on fire in many different ways. Roadcraft got me
horny for big trucks.
Speaker 2: I don't write these anymore.
Speaker 1: Christian does this, but I agree our expectations for Summer
game Fest.
Speaker 2: And more or less, I don't know. We'll see how
the show goes.
Speaker 1: It's been one of those weeks where it's like, oh, no,
everything is happening. So every night this week, something's happening
at the kids' schools. We are still very busy setting
things up a giant bomb, you know, We're still doing
stuff with game mess you know, in the evenings. Now
it's it's kind of been NonStop, to the point where
it's like I keep saying, I'm like, why aren't you
playing any video games? And then I look back at
like what I've been doing with my days, I'm like, oh,
you've just been very busy. I got to stop beating
myself up, but got some got some stuff installed on
the Steam deck. Happy with that. But it's a busy
time of year for me, Mike. How about you.
Speaker 2: You've also been making those videos on for the game
mess YouTube channel and those have been good. Yeah, No,
it's a it's been pretty busy, especially because of the
summer game Fest and Gangway for that for two publications, right,
so yep, getting things figured out there, and like you know,
we don't even have everything. It's things I've come together
today a bit more, but like it's like, oh, hey,
where am I staying in LA that kind of a thing.
So that's feeling better. But we did get some NSO
game drops, Jeff, if you want to hear about that
right when we went live.
Speaker 1: Yep, I do want to hear about that. So this
I don't I did was not aware. So this is
a complete surprise.
Speaker 2: Well you know what happens at nine o'clock sometimes, so yeah,
this has just happened. So all right, right now it's
four game Boy games, okay, Uh, Survival Kids, Grottias are greatest,
I can remember greatest, the Interstellar Assault, Kirby's star Stacker
and the Sort of Hope. It's immediately not the most
exciting looking pair of games to me. But Survival Kids
is supposed to be good. You know, Lost in Blue
it's actually that series. I think that's really first one. Yeah, yeah,
oh wow, I did not. Kirby Starstacker is one of
the more simple of all the Game Boy Kirby spinoffs.
It's just a very simple smuppy thing, I think, right,
I think, yeah, that's right. Yes, I have no idea
of gradias on the Game Boys supposed to be any good.
The boxer here says that it has two megs of
something star power, So wow, two megs on a t
entire cartridge. That's insane. Game Boys can explode? Yeah, and
then what is sort of Hope? Is this a straight
up indo doit? I don't know what that I mean.
Speaker 1: You know, the chances of one of these NSO drops
being a Nintendo published game is pretty high these days, so.
Speaker 2: I just maybe how could there be? How? Like Okay,
released in Japan is the nineteen eighty nine first person
RPG for the Game Boy, Weird About by Kempco. Okay,
this thing I did come out in the US, though,
also nineteen ninety one. Okay, so this kind of first
I'm kind of interested about Hell yeah, weird early like
first like like Wizardry, but by maybe by Kempico for
the game Boy. Okay, let's see, I'll check that.
Speaker 1: I mean, game Boy's got a weird variety of genres
that you just don't expect sometimes, you know. I include
Game Boy Color in that not Wizardry, but a Warlock
that RTS game. I love of that game on the
Game Boy Color A and it was like like a
full fledged, you know, as much as it could be
on the game Boy Warcraft, like a world not World
of Warcraft, but an actual classic Warcraft clone. And it
was pretty interesting, Like you could get different wizards that
were very much Lord of the Rings coded, So you'd
have the Brown Wizard and you have chickens and shit,
and then uh, you'd have the Gray Wizard and he
was like super powerful, and then the White Wizard was
like all powerful.
Speaker 2: It was really cool. It's chat just reminded me there
was a new Survival Kids coming as an Intendo Yah
Launch games.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I wasn't sure about that, so I was like,
I wasn't gonna say anything. Uh, and like be confused.
But I'm like, I thought, is that still the same series?
That's incredible? So okay, wait, what is Survival Kids?
Speaker 2: I mean this game Boy game by Konami. I mean,
you look at it. It looks straight up like Links
Awakening art style wise, but I think it's like kind
of a Zelda like but Island Survival Games thing. It
looks pretty cool, so I might try this. Yeah, that's
that sounds interesting. And I'm not sure what you do
is in game Boy Gradies, but maybe I don't know.
I'm looking at this gameplay right now. It does not
look bad as a Curby Starsucker is a puzzle game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yes, yes, I thought you were still talking
about Gradius when you said the schmup.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, I was like, wait, did he say
Curby When you look at the box, sar, he's kind
of on the start. Yeah, that's right. This one is
a pretty simple drop down puzzle game from whatever. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Right, It's like it's like almost in that Yoshi Cookie
vein of like almost too simple, but.
Speaker 2: Then sort of hope it looks yeah, wow, this is
just straight up a first person dungeon crawling thing. Hell yeah,
I don't know. That's the reason that I'm like kind
of interested to try that out now. Yeah, So, like
you know, at first glance, thought the most exciting drop here.
They got a lot of the heavy hitters for game Boy,
though I'm sure if I thought harder, you think of
some that are missing. Sure, yeah, but I'll take it
all right. Let's get into the show.

Jazz Gordon just gave out five gifted subserias. Thank you, Jezz,
Thank you so much. Jazz really do appreciate that. Thank you,
think you thank you. Yeah, we don't have Wireland two yet. Yeah, yeah, okay,
you know they gave us, you know, they gave us
Donkey Kong Nati fours. I kind of let almost everything
go now this way. We haven't had the Pilkemons yet,
which at this point.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know story those right, Yeah, I mean
eventually they might just do the very very very first
ones and that's it. But I don't think they'll do
much more than that. And that's like maybe, yeah, you're right,
all right, big topics. Let's get into him. Randy Pitchford
eighty dollars. This thing has happened all week now. It's
been people discovered him saying this because he said this
weeks ago apparently, and it kind of caught on.
Speaker 2: Fire this week.
Speaker 1: He essentially just said, in response to someone saying, hey,
don't make this game eighty dollars, he said, for one thing,
that's not my choice too. If you're if you're a
real fan, you will find a way to make it happen.
I wocked up Hill.
Speaker 2: Both layers all that stuff. Yeah, oh boy, don't you
know you have to be like a Kochuba to get
away of saying something crazy and weird on the internet.
Uh huh.
Speaker 1: And coach does decide like probably how much his games
are going to cost, at least has more saying it
at this point. That's not to say that Randy Pitcher
doesn't have a say, I'm sure he does, but uh,
you know, he does have a publisher.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: He sold his company h to two K so and
take two, so I get that he's got a little
bit more hands off, But I think the real reason
that he doesn't know the price is because they haven't
decided if it's going to be eighty or seventy. Either way, though,
everyone was pretty pissed off for him, saying that they
thought it was a pretty boneheaded thing to say, and
that's correct, and so he tried to respond one time
by pointing to a talk he had a few weeks
ago on stage for some Borderlands for event and he
kind of explained, oh, okay, I don't know what the
price is going to be. That's something other people handle.
So that's just him kind of elaborating on the same point.
But then he kind of also reiterates that the game
is going to be worth the price no matter what
it is. So it's saying the same thing, but maybe
a little bit more gently. And then finally, as the
back backlash continued, I think it was earlier today or
yesterday's at some point he kind of just kind of
came out and apologized for the most part and said, look,
I wasn't trying. I wasn't intending to make people upset.
Clearly at some point he was asked to do that.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, Randy, I think loves the fancy himself is
this great forward facing persona, but he's just absolutely terrible
at it. Actually, Yeah, remember when I remember how much
he wanted us to heavily associate him with that Borderlands movie.
Then as soon as it bombed, he like, in the
most obvious way possible, try to turn to a pause, like, Wow,
so you guys are saying you like our game so
much you don't even need a movie. It's like, you
like our game better than a big Hollywood movie. And
it's right, yeah, those big Hollywood so yeah, big wigs.
That sucks. If he wasn't huh so excited to be
near them a moment ago, yeah, exactly. It was a
real It was a bizarrely dumb thing to say. Look,
if the game's gonna cost eighty bucks, you don't need
to say anything about that. There's no way you're gonna
make people feel good about that. It's bizarrely weird to
imply that you're not a real fan unless you're excited
to spend more money for the video game. That is.
That is just a very strange boomer mentality that comes
from something I don't know what. And if they weren't
sure what the price was, Jeff, I do wonder if
this backlash at all has maybe scared them possibility. But
you're like, you know what, maybe seventy dollars will be
enough for this one. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope so for everyone's sake, I don't think
Borderlands Force should be the game that's trying to get
through this. You know, now that the seal is broken
by Nintendo, Borderlinds Force shouldn't be one of the first
to follow through, even though I suppose Microsoft technically one
of the first, because they announced that their games are
going to go to eighty dollars later this year, or
some will release at eighty dollars. I guess how they
said it. So yeah, I hope it scares them off
for sure. The Randy Pittrid thing that I always thought
was the weirdest was a PAX panel he did I
think I was at this packspan. I don't think I
was watching this online and I was a few rows back. Yeah,
I was at this one and there was like this
abnormally attractive blonde in the front row. I was just like, Okay,
that's fine's packs maybe it's like, you know, a cosplayer,
and she was a cosplayer. But it was clear very
soon when Randy Pittrid began his magic show and then
brought her on stage that she was a hired cosplayer,
one that he had found on Instagram and must have
followed and was just like I'm gonna do my magic
tricks up to her and stuff like that, and in
front of everybody. It was bizarre and awkward. So uh yeah,
good for you, Randy. Uh.
Speaker 2: I think he's.
Speaker 1: Probably gonna probably exit this company here after his stock
vest or do you think it's gonna stick around?
Speaker 2: I'm sure I doubt Take two is like man and
when we got Gearbox, we got Randy Pittford with That's wow?
Great is that right now? I'm sure they'd be more
than pleased if he exited the picture.
Speaker 3: You think you think he will give up this boat
light because he loves that boat light. Do you think
he will?
Speaker 2: Wow? It might think it might be like a Dennis
Diyak thing where he like tries to keep it on
him and then quickly realizes that nobody likes him. Actually yeah,
but who knows. It's a shat. But he could he
could do a certain pivot that is popular with some
members of the online gaming community. Perhaps we'll see that would.
Speaker 1: Just be the worst because he has magic powers, so
they'll have a wizard on their side.
Speaker 3: Wait, we started the Magic Wars and so we get
like all the witches and shipped to like fight each other.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's true, Well the witches on our side. That's
a good point. Okay, Bungie's the whole thing.
Speaker 1: They stole some art. They admitted that they stole some art.
They are dealing with that. Meanwhile, people are reporting the
vibes are real bad, morale really low, and uh god,
it's like it wasn't there something else that happened it
with them? Either way, it's just a mess over there.
And I guess I suppose the other thing that happened
was another confirmation from someone that's not me that if
this game doesn't do well Marathon, that they're in big trouble.
Oh yeah, And then the other other thing is apparently
the executives over a Bungie strongly considered making Destiny to
like a late pivot toward a subscription model to access
the game. So it's like, oh boy, they had to
be talked out of that, apparently by their developers. Yeah,
so it's like, okay, so they are really disconnected really,
you know, just far afield from what most gamers are
thinking about a game like Destiny too at this point,
and it must suck to work there, and they keep
stealing art for some it apparently again this is the
fourth time they've done this. What's going on with Buncheie Mike.
Speaker 2: It seems rough and it's kind of hard to imagine
them coming out of the other side of this Marathon
launch in an okay position because what can they do here?
Like maybe Marathon will surprise the song and be a
big hit and that would be the best case for them,
and everything is fine. That doesn't seeming questionable at the moment,
but who knows. Things can change there. But if it
doesn't deal, well, what can you do with that studio
pivot to making a Destiny three, Because I don't think
there's any way you get really that many people excited
about Destiny two anymore, I think it's just too old,
too much time must pass, so on and so forth.
You can maybe try to milk that stone a little
bit more by squeezing it harder, But in terms of
something really big and exciting, Destiny two is only going
to do so much making it Destiny three will be
very expensive and very difficult, and as much as I
would love it to just be, like, well, let's just
pivot them to maybe let's make a really cool single
player first person shooter game with a deafmatch multiplayer mode thing,
something kind of like Halo, that's just never going to
make as much money as a Destiny to used to.
So that's always going to seem like a downgrade for
everybody at Sony and at Bungie probably. So it's hard
to see the road for them right now.
Speaker 1: Right it seems like the only path really here, unless
you know, miracle happens with Marathon and it really does
turn into the biggest game ever.
Speaker 2: They're going to get folded into PlayStation studios.
Speaker 1: They're going to get folded into Sony Interactive Entertainment proper,
which they again they are not part of right now.
They are owned by the Sony Corporation, not by PlayStation
Studios or the PlayStation sort of sub brand. So you know,
there's that that last pivot yet to be made, and
really that would maybe be a good thing at this
point to clear out some of the leadership at the
top of Bungee, which continues to be, you know, in
the crosshairs of a lot of the criticisms of people
who used to work there. It kind of gets brought
up every time anyone of those people lets anything out.
Speaker 2: They kind of can't help that. Is that guy who
just always talks about his vintage car collection still there?
Speaker 1: Pete Parsons, Yeah, I think so that is Pete Parsons, right, Christian,
I'm not like, yeah, yeah, Pete Parsons was, and I
think he's still there. Yeah, but doesn't seem like for
long based you know, I guess I wouldn't know what
it would mean for them to be folded into PlayStation Studios,
but it'd be weird if they did that and it
wasn't the leadership getting cleared out instead of like all
of the talent.
Speaker 2: Who has problem? That's what's so messed up, is like
it seems like that's the problem, right, because clearly. I
don't know, but it sounds like it. Yeah, right, it
certainly seems like leadership is the problem. We just know
the way things are that they may not be the
ones and stuffing. Although you know with three four three
comes kind of going through a lot, they did wipe
out the leadership there, right, that did happen. Now that
was over at Microsoft. The course, I'm saying it can
go that way, and if things do go poorly, it
probably should.
Speaker 3: We'll see what our roller coast. I remember when they
re reannounced Martha and now I was like, oh, the
community seems really really happy with this, and then everything
happens in like three weeks.
Speaker 2: Right, it was crazy. So I don't really say all
the time, but like trying to chase trends with triple
A games is such a fruitless endeavor at all times
because trends just don't last very long. And maybe at
the time it seemed like, you know, trushooters were hot
and there's a lot of people still play them, but
they didn't maybe reach that next level of mainstream penetration
your favorite phrase, Jeff as thank you at Royaus did so, Yeah,
maybe this wasn't the right choice, all right, let's see here.
Speaker 1: Moving on, Roadcraft is doing pretty well in reviews, even
it's at an eighty three.
Speaker 2: Christian.
Speaker 1: You and I've been playing this, I guess we could
talk a little bit about now. I'm like starting to
like really get into the point where it's like, Okay,
I actually am finding some time for this game, and
it is.
Speaker 2: I was asking you tonight, I'm like, Okay.
Speaker 1: A couple hours ago, I you know, it introduced me
the idea of delivering resources myself. And the way I
did it was I had to get a truck with
a flatbed back it up to this resource area that
I had previously put some other resources into, and then
I needed to get another truck that had a crane
on it so I could pick that shit up and
put it in the flatbed. Now I love this, but
I was wondering, I'm like, am I making it more
cumbersome than it's supposed to be just because I wanted
to play this way? Or is it like one of
those things that there's a menu that I'm missing, so
are missing? So I messaged you, I'm like, this is
how you're doing it as well, right? And you said yes,
and I got very excited. Because like, I think, this
is how you're supposed to play this game, and it's
exactly what I want. I want the I want it
to be labor I want it to be I wanted
to be like, oh, that's a pain in the ass
to kind of do that, but that's the game to me.
I want to deal with these problems and actually overcome them.
So I'm I'm pretty in love with this game so far.
Speaker 2: How about you?
Speaker 3: Oh, it is so good. When I did that mission,
I didn't fix the road ahead, so I tombled my
truck twice and it's messed up because you called the truck,
but it doesn't recall the things, so you have to
You had to drive your truck there like on the
side of the road and drive also the crane so
you can put all this stuff that's on the road
on your truck again and like strap it on.
Speaker 2: And Yeah.
Speaker 3: It has this this feeling of like you you're making
every move. It's like a simulator for real. It feels
it feels like I'm doing it because I love trucks.
I was construction it kind of it's not the same,
of course, but it has that feeling. It's like, oh shit,
it does it does accomplish it what it once with
with the mechanics and all the manute controls they give
you on the trucks, and then they don't. It's not
super super simulator. They don't give you like oh you
can yeah yeah, then shortcuts so you won't go crazy
with this, but it will scratch that each of a
simulation filion of it still a video game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's still at very much video game. So like, yeah,
go ahead, Christian, Sorry.
Speaker 3: No, I was just it has.
Speaker 2: It has.
Speaker 3: It's like the Treaty platform for for trucks. I call
it that because there are levels where you had to
go from a point to another point, and in the
middle there's an abandoned factory and the factory has these
bridges that you can drop, and you had to be
very very mindful of how you maneuver your your truck
around the thing and how you drop those those bridges
so they fall in the correct place so you can
move around. It's incredible, it's pretty good. It has. It
has all the things you want from this type of game, right.
Speaker 1: It is like laborious in the in the areas you want,
and then it's like okay, well I'm done putting the
stuff on the truck with the crane truck, and you,
like someone the chap points out, eventually you get a
truck as a flatbed and a crane. It's like yeah,
of course, like you can unlock stuff as you go.
Very cool, but like in that moment, it's like, Okay,
I am done using the crane. I just want to
get in that truck and drive my stuff over. So
there's a button just to put the crane away, right,
you don't have to manually tuck the crane back into
your truck. There's a button that shortcuts that because that,
like now is beginning to get in the way of
the fun. So and it's like there's still gonna be
a lot of simulated stuff still happening.
Speaker 2: They just are going to shortcut you there.
Speaker 1: So it's a speedier version of a simulator, which I
think is the right move for a game like this,
and that's why it has a pretty big audience, or
the series has had a pretty big audience.
Speaker 2: I think people will.
Speaker 1: Come around to this one eventually. Fans right now seem
a little bit unsure because they really like the way
snow Runners works, which I thought was maybe the best
video game version of this so far, But right now
Roadcraft is really scratching the exact itch I was hoping
it would.
Speaker 2: So are you enjoying it more than the Expeditions? Yeah? Yeah,
Expeditions is still fun, it's still good.
Speaker 1: It's more bite sized, but it's so inherently by being
bite sized, it is less ambitious in the things that's
skin of you, and so like, you don't often find
yourselves in the in those same situations of trying to
solve the problems because that you got yourself into. It's
more just like, you know, get that truck over there,
and yeah, there's gonna be some rough stuff in between,
but you're not gonna like come up with these grand
ideas to execute on something, screw it up and have
to fix it very frequently in that game, which is
the part of that that I really really.
Speaker 3: Like, have you have you done? Have you sorry? Have
you done? Have you fixed a road and drop some
some asphalt on it.
Speaker 2: I'm like just kind of that's where I'm just getting
right now.
Speaker 3: Is going to be so satisfying that it's just it's
just way just went like that scene in Cars, like
that scene in Cars.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm pretty sure, Yeah, I think it's gonna be
pretty similar to that. Actually, yep, all right, uh you
know what.
Speaker 1: That's that's it for the news. We got some super
chats that have come in. Why don't we take a break,
come back and read those that sound good? Okay, we'll
be right back after this. All right, we are back, Mike,
let's get to those super chats.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Thank you so much everybody for continuing to support
the game. Mess tuber says that thumbnail is the face
Mike may when he realized he's gonna have to completely
rewrite game Rep. Two point zero to remove all the
Ninja guided in references. Christian included the picture of me
on Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic rewind. Jeff, were you
like one of the three people who told me you
thought I wouldn't like that ride? Is that right?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: I was like trying to say, like, I thought it
would be too much for you.
Speaker 1: Yes, I thought the spinning was going to be actually
too much because the way the way the spin increased
the speed. I'm like, it's going to kind of whip
you around. I think that's going to be too much.
And you're like, no, the spinning doesn't bother me. So
you convinced me you were gonna be fine, But I
was trying to talk you out up to that point.
Speaker 2: You're right, You're right.
Speaker 1: I see the evidence before my very eyes. Yeah, I
looked right when I saw that picture.
Speaker 2: You know, but you know what you said. But I
remember was your very little children being on the ride,
And that's always like a thing of shame, for sure.
I didn't say you shouldn't be ashamed, like I never
said that. Al Grug says that thumbnail is the face
Mike made when he realized he loaded the save instead
of saved in Rascal in here. I thought Jeff didn't
know how to save. It is so fucked up. You
guys wouldn't tell me. I knocked that level out again
right then, right there.
Speaker 1: I didn't know it, but during the show I had
to be told later like me and Dan did not
know it.
Speaker 2: How were you whispering about that one time during the
show and you want to tell me what was going
on there?
Speaker 3: Something?
Speaker 2: We told you it was a funny sketch, look, Mike.
Speaker 1: I was told later Chuckkowski like was like telling Dan,
and Dan told me, and so I reached out to
Chuck I'm like, what's going on. He's like, I'm making
a video and I posted that video to YouTube I
think like an hour before someone like did you read
the reddit?
Speaker 2: Is that? Is that how you saw the video? I want?
I want on YouTube dot com slash Giant Bombs, you know,
check those numbers and whatnot. And I saw this bike
didn't know or something. It was like, I didn't know
what that thought had occurred to me at one point
because when I looked at the same at Suid level three,
so I'm like, well, that's weird. But I've been going
out of order with these levels. I don't know. Fuck,
you gotta do that Atlantis level again. I know what
to do now, you know what to do. Yeah, but
it's like last time. And I was joking like, oh,
I just don't want to play this game now. I
want to get back in there desperately just to go
knock level out again because this is driving me crazy, right,
this is kind of worse. Yeah, absolutely, that's up a
big fresh know the weird thing. Randy addressed the price
quesh in of packs and had a good answer. I
don't know why he didn't just dick with that. Some
people can't help themselves.
Speaker 1: It probably sounded to him like he was saying the
same thing and he just didn't like think through the
consequences of the way he phrased it.
Speaker 2: Maybe because he knows that they're thinking about charging any
bucks for it, So he's like, Wow, I'm gonna put
on my old salesmanhattir he people, oh, make him feel
good about this purchase and tell that it'll make me
really happy if they if they spend the money, because
they'll show how big of a fan you are. He like,
just watched Wolf of Wall Street, Right, I'm gonna tell
you this pencil. Yeah, I get it. Yeah, yeah, stupid
big frushtrating senses. Don't you dare stop saying work and shoots?
I think we still will sometimes. I mean, honestly, just
hasn't come up working shoots. I think everybody gets if
you don't at that point, I don't know if that's
the one that still makes you mad. That is just
friend lingo at this point. Yep, Right, So yeah, you know,
no plans to stop.
Speaker 1: Maybe I was like, yeah, well, maybe we'll tone it
down in that first week. No, I'm not gonna be
able to help myself here pretty soon.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I never really, I never think about it, and
I'm never like formulately like if I say, shoot, right now,
what are the consequences of that? Yeah? Right exactly? Yes? Uh,
Ricky be says ray cat c oh is that Ray
Carr rad Carci, Ray Carr? I can't remember? Oh, ray
CATSI Ray Catsie Ray Carci. Okay, there's a nextion there.
Then the drum kid says, random people on this chick?
Where is he? I think he's dead again? Right? Or
you mean you're a lawnmower? Oh? Oh if yeah, are
we talking about my lawnmower.
Speaker 1: It's been raining NonStop for like a week, so like
my front yard is half mode because I just being like,
he's waterproof for sure, but it still doesn't cut grass
as well, and the grass is all wet and gets
all soggy and bad. So yeah, he's sitting under his
his old dome where he's safe and he has not
been outside for quite some time.
Speaker 2: Ricky B's back and says, Mike's thousand yards stare in
the voicemail dump truck when Dan was talking about Razors
pen is, Yeah, you haven't listened to the voicemail dump
truck yet but it went places. Jeff, I'm good. Maybe
I'm good on this one. Maybe you know, maybe you are.
I don't know. We could we could catch you up
like we would catch Backler. That sounds ideal. Oh yeah,
just do that. Ricky B says. We also had the
countries on the UC Riverside campus. Yeah, they're they're real,
US money, the real trees, Christians, the real trees. They
probably can't do well in your weird tropical climate, but
the real damn it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have a does an archientina like almost go
all the way down to Antarctica, but either way, Yeah,
that's true. Uh yeah, like we had I have one
of those trees in my front yard. I don't think
do we talk about this on the air. Was that
before we went live? Yeah, that was before we went live, right,
So Mike brought up these trees on voicemail dump Truck
and no one believed him that they existed.
Speaker 2: Showed that people chatted somebody like, yeah, those are real.
And in the defense of the people in voicemail dump Truck,
I had said a lot of unhinged things before that,
not untrue things, but just unhinged things before that. Yeah,
let's here now the realist boy says when the Killers
sing the line seventeen tracks and I've had it with
this game. In the song, somebody told me they are
actually referring to Mario Kart DS. Sure, I kind of
I can see that. Somebody told me was one of
my Kiayoki standards for a while there. Actually, Oh yeah,
that's right. Yeah, I like that. Yeah, it's it's jumpy goes,
it's relator good. I do that. I missed the bright side.
Sometimes it's fine. N ten Derek says the six to
one Indie Showcase was great. You should watch it on
a Giant bomb and lots of games aimed at Giant
Bombs owners specifically. I think we talked about maybe watching
right you busy? Yeah, Like I said, we're like really
trying to get summer game Fest stuff figured out here.
But maybe what they'll take a look at some of
those games. Yep, I would like that. Now what he says,
hoy I owned a GameCube growing up, but not Luci's Mansion,
Metro Prime thousand, your door or pick Man, any councils,
were any consoles where you missed a lot of the
Class six. It is funny because I made my list
of the top Genesis games last night. For me top twenty,
and I had I was a Genesis kid for sure,
he had a lot of the games in my top
ten were games I did not play back when I
was a kid. The games I played much later through
elections in retro. You know, Gunstar Heroes, I didn't really
tread that, a lot of contra hardcore Castlevania, Bloodline, Shanobi three,
So it's a lot of those games I caught much later.
Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, it's not really for me because when I
was getting consoles, like even through childhood, I was like
trying to look for any scrap of evidence that a
game would be worth it because I was only getting
them like once.
Speaker 2: Or twice a year.
Speaker 1: So I put a lot of effort into making sure
I got stuff that was like the most widely known
to be very good so that it'd be worth my time.
So that meant I got a lot of the biggest games.
Speaker 2: Sign from Saskatchewan says can't wait to see Mike's reaction
when he goes back to the same level for a
third time. I'll say, did you read It's manual yet?
Especially about Amma Colors? Yeah, for a second there, like
the right is homing and it just lasts for a bit.
I think some of it I'm just figuring out, Like
the green is the one that's a limited AMMO when
it goes up, I think it just either does more
damage or is the only thing that actually does damage.
It seems like I want one. I want those, so
I know that. Simon again says, I think rascals Mike
Truck would have truck nuts, yes, but they would be purple.
Speaker 1: They'd be a very garish color. Oh sure, yeah, absolute
some yellow stripes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Simon says Mike. Ever been to an NHL or
m OB game and Anaheim?
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: My one buddy lived in Anaheim for a bit and
it was funny because he's like one of my best
friends going back to middle school. And I visited and
he was living in Anaheim. He was doing a union
organizing work there. Uh, and he lives right by where
the Angels played. Of course, I made him go to Disneyland,
which you could probably walk to it, and even though
he's not opposed it is, but he like lived there
for a few years and hadn't gone yet, and you
could practically see the parts from his mouth. I was like,
I hate you. I'd like to know that. I could
very much see that become one of my I'm in
my sixties things. Is I'm gonna go or whatever ballpark
in America. Yeah, I would enjoy that quite a lots. Uh, Lex,
Like he says, take to our cowards trans rights. Also
peepis thank you Lex? That did take to do something
anti trans recently that I missed? Probably Yeah, I don't know,
I can't. I'm not sure what. Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Do you feel like chrous Selnick was like on c
and I don't know it was C Span, no CNBC,
and he would like, hey, do you play games? He's
like just had this answer about like, no, I don't
play games and not the consumer in chief. I'm at
a point where it's like that's not as weird as
it once would have been. Right, It's like, of course
straus Selnik doesn't actually play video games?
Speaker 2: Yeah right, no, exactly, Like what do I say you do?
I think he's playing Expedition thirty three right now? Do
I think it would help if he did? I don't
know anymore for that.
Speaker 3: My old Bill bro. You don't know him.
Speaker 2: He's on the HGH for sure, But uh you know,
it is a little bit strange.
Speaker 1: It doesn't like like make me think that for a
lot of executives, video games are still like on the
tour east side of things, because I could not imagine
an executive working in the film industry, in the in
the publishing, or in music that didn't like listen or
engage with those things like that.
Speaker 2: One, of course they do. Apparently Take two is the
latest company to scrub all their DEI stuff, of course
from public facing. So yeah, fuck that, Yeah, absolutely insane everywhere,
Ricky Be says, And check out Dyson's new vacuum the
pencil vack. It's beautiful. The motor is in the shaft.
They haven't seen this much sucking in a shaft. Well,
that sounds exciting for shafts. He's referencing a show or
a movie or something here. I know.
Speaker 3: I think he's just making a joke.
Speaker 2: I think that other one we didn't understand right away.
I think, oh, okay, is that okay? Maybe right?
Speaker 1: This one, I just assumed he's just trying to get
you say words like suck and pencil vack.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I show Super Harman, Superharma says, I
once won a Borderlands Prize pack. It came with the
USB I never used. I recently found it incinerator. Oh
you gotta look, you gotta see what's Maybe it's the one. Yeah.
Maybe when he prestiged it it ended up with you.
Yeah he did. He did the you know, the aristocrats,
and then it popped out of thin air and it
reappeared and now it's in your house. Congratulations. Isn't the
Aristocratic cats the incest one? Well, it could be whatever
you need it to be. The whole point is that
joke can just do whatever you need. Yeah, some people
do make it an incest joke. Yes, that's right, me says,
signing all my positive energy to Simon of Saskatchewan for
his uptoming surgery to combat the Big Sea before complete
we recovery. Yes, we are all hoping for the best
for Simon.
Speaker 1: Gonna care keep track of that. Yep, shouts out to you, Simon.
For sure, that's it, he says.
Speaker 2: What's up my dudes? Flying out the Disney World this Sunday.
The weather looks pretty rainy. Most days will be there, Mike,
What would you do at Disney if the forecast was
rain all day every day? Keep miss. Sometimes you just
gotta take in stride a bit and just be like,
we're gonna wear ponchos. I'm gonna wear like flip blops
or something that I don't have to worry about wet socks. Yeah,
and be like, hey, the crowds are gonna be a
little bit less because of that. Some parks are better
in terms of how much of the rides are indoor
and don't close because of the rain. Like Epcot almost
everything is indoor so the rain doesn't impact too much stuff.
A lot of the rise in Florida, though, are generally
okay with that. But you know, maybe I'll be like,
I'm not gonna worry about sometimes, I'm like a big
I'm gonna get there at opening and be there for
twelve hours. Maybe I'll relax a bit more around the resorts,
right and just kind of chill out. Add some lounges bars,
go to the Scatcat Lounges Skat Cat Lounes for some
beignets and maybe live jazz. At Port or Leans, go
over to the Polynesian and go to Traders Sam's, get
some teaki drinks, that kind of thing. But yeah, you
can't let the rain get you down there. You kind
of just have to you know, sometimes about your mindset.
If if all you do is focus on how you
think this is annoying and that it would bother you,
it can get to you. But it's fun Animal Kingdom,
even though it's a lot of outdoor stuff. The animals
on the Safari ride and in general, they like the rain.
They're moving around a lot more. Actually, both the Avatar
rides are indoors there, so you know, go to Animal Kingdoms,
hang out with the animals, just just take it all in.
Rain is life. Yep, Water's good. All right, YouTube crash
give me I'm there, Yeah, no problem, Yeah, that's your love.
Does that? Hey you're on Joe Beezer here, Thank you
very much. Gosh, it's funny. I was in this worl
for a very long time recently, and I'm kind of
like I'd like to go back to Disney. It's one
of those things. The more you do it, the more
you want to do it. I think I really enjoyed
myself absolutely. Joe Beezer says to Mikey, I wish you
would step back from that ledge, my friend. You could
cut ties with all the lies that you've been living
living in and if you do not want to play
Rascal again, I.
Speaker 1: Would understand that's a third eye blind reference.
Speaker 2: There, that's an old man. I'm fine, would understand. Yeah,
there you go, more iron made. I'm living on the
razor's edge, balancing on the ledge. The evil that men
do lives on and on. Jason Finelle just Hey Pals,
Jeff Doug The Switch to Launch Winners video potential follow
up which one backlog winners or games that launch late
and switch one's life. It might get some love from
people by switch to EO for example. Maybe think I
think you're right that actually Tears of the Kingdom is
gonna be a big beneficiary of that doubt, Yes, even
though it's a game that did sell really well for sure,
even but you know, like Pickman four was late ish
for the switch will do well. Thousand Year Door, I
think more so than even like Brothership, even though brush
Up was later. I think more people will just hear
good things about a thousand year Door remake.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd like there's gonna be like Tears. Right, there's
the games that ninten Know is just saying, hey, these
are getting big updates. Then there's the twelve games that
are getting like medium sized updates, but even that tier
of games that aren't getting any update at all.
Speaker 2: You're right, just because people.
Speaker 1: Are getting the switch to they're gonna want to play
some games that they missed on the switch one, and
a lot of those will kind.
Speaker 2: Of do very well as well. Yeah, that's a good idea, Jason.
I'm gonna do that, thank you. I mean, that does
a wisdom's going to get the frame rate smoothing, and
that was one of the big problems with that and
it doesn't. The update doesn't say anything about frame rate,
but the hope is maybe it'll still fix it. Well,
I would hope so, because there's something there's one thing
from that game that you would hope they do. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think people meant, like the people who know seem
to think like that doesn't matter that they will just
that will just get fixed naturally.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm hopeful. I think that's probably the case. Night
Trauma says, I don't have money for Gearbox, but I
do have money to shut up. Bailey Meyers absolutely ruled
having her back on GB The Queen's back. Yeah, it
feels great doing a voicemailed dump truck with her again.
So I'm sure we'll be doing more with Bailey for sure. Well, yeah,
just I definitely missed being able to make stuff with her. Yep,
that was awesome.
Speaker 1: I'm really glad we were able to get her on
the show, like really soon after going Indepennett.
Speaker 2: Lamb Flam, and Drew say is getting a second job
for games like Kuda Roggy Dreams. There you go, It's
all making it happen. Mm hmm. Jesse, He says, Hello
Jeff and hello Mike. I think you're both very cool.
I think you're cool too, Jess, Thank you very much again,
meant gifted subs here, appreciate that. Shout out to you, Budden.
John Cody says, feeling good because the place I work
Sesame Street. Finally as at home Netflix, listening to you
all the time at work, and been thinking about making
a giant Bob puppet once we start, once we rap
shooting in June. John, don't tease me like that, Yeah, John,
that would be amazing. Uh yeah, don't. Yeah, he's right.
Speaker 1: Don't even tease us unless that's something that's possible. But uh,
that's awesome. I loved hearing this news. It's first, it's
awesome that you work for Sesame Street Workshop. That's cool
as hell's.
Speaker 2: Side the Yeah, that's one of the coolest jobs. Anybody
can tell me that they have.
Speaker 1: Exactly That's how I feel as well. And it was
great to see the net news. It's like, yeah, it does.
The show does have a home and Netflix is giving
each episode to PBS the day that it opens on
for the day that it first airs on Netflix. I
guess so just an all round great story. I'm glad
that that's the case. I grew up on Sesame Street,
so yeah, that's very cool.
Speaker 2: And then Tyler James bass is f Barrier kill todet
Berdo or Daisy, but she's still in love with her
ex Tommy tell Rico pans, putting his money towards the
Juggal of Fun. Look, I can fix her. I'll still
marry Daisy. It's okay. It definitely kill Burdo for sure.
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta find out.
Speaker 2: I gotta see what it's like when it when it
happens to the egg pop out, Welcome to wife for
who episode to everybody, here we go, Oh boy, when
says are you guys big on Souls games, and they're
returning from soft bosses you want to see in night Rain.
I'm hoping for eashan Ac Six's ice Worm. Oh oh yeah,
Armor Core sixes ice Worm or bed of Chaos Enis.
Oh god, there you bring up Bed of Chaos. I've
been playing through the Soul's games the last couple of
years and they are very good. I mean, but like,
I don't I played through all them once, so like,
even like remembering all these iconic bosses names is a
little difficult for me sometimes find out one of those
from soft guys. I'm glad you just really like the games.
That's the right way to be, Like, I kind of like,
I remember the guy from the the last DLC boss
of Dark Souls three was really cool. Actually that might
be Quinn right the last I don't know, I can't remember.
I remember. I can't remember now the fat guy and
the not fat guy from Dark Soul's.
Speaker 1: Lawn or Orson and Craig or something. Yeah, yeah, smogging
or or seem its smog. That's it, Yes, there it is.
Speaker 2: You know. I think it's date bringing them back in
all that stuff though, so you know, I'll pop for
it a bit, but it's you know, a lot. Some
are kind of like it's about people a sorts, you know.
Speaker 1: I will go, I'll pop if I see anything from
assass or Assassin's Creed six from why came?
Speaker 2: I want to say Ace Combat six? I think.
Speaker 1: Armored Core six. Yes, that's the ice too many as.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for real, we got it. We should do something
about that. And I'm gonna have air conditioning, right, it's
like exactly s n E. S. Chalmers's not sure if
it was mentioned, but switched to. GameCube controllers are currently
available for peld again. Just scored one. Go go go.
I got mine on the first drop. I'm good to to.
I think I'm a'd cool to. Yeah, I don't need
it yet. Will David says my favorite GameCube feature really
great games. Okay, I'm glad it's not the eject button
because people don't even know about that. I'm sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no one's ever discovered that before for sure.
Speaker 2: So it's about that. Oh is this a reference to that?
The uninch one about the handle last time? So yeah,
people really liked that one quite a bit. People have
referenced that a couple of times to me, it's an
interesting one. Charret It Woolf says, with Mike's hatred against Kaji,
might got to ask Jeff, who's your Kojuma? Someone you
dislike even though everyone loves. I want to be clear,
I do not hate Kojama. I have a I like
the Medalgasol games a lot. I just sometimes think, like,
you know, it's it's not a free pass, but uh,
contextualized Kojuma in a bit of a oh that goofle,
and they think he deserves a bit more scrutiny than that.
Speaker 1: I guess for a minute there, it's this doesn't count
anymore because everyone's kind of feeling.
Speaker 2: The same way.
Speaker 1: But it was like all the naughty Dog people and
what's his name? Druckman?
Speaker 2: But now everyone's like be mean to me though, So
it was personal.
Speaker 1: That's true, that's part of it, yes, but it's like
also I didn't love his game, so uh, that's probably
part of it. Yeah, I can't think of another good
analog there, though. Yeah, I'm sure they exist. I'd have
to think, though it's not as much, which is Mike's
burning hatred for Coachabaha.
Speaker 3: Mike these other drug man came out and said that
in universe the fireflies will be able to make a
he cure. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean that whole conversation is so as suffrable, and
the fact that he throws any kind of fuel on
that fire drives me crazy. Please shut up about it.
Oh my art speak for itself. Yeah, the gamers were
confronted with one morally great choice, and it has become
discourse for over a decade now, well like fifteen years. Everybody,
shut the fuck up. It's literally gray. There's no you
can't ask is it black or white. It's gray. That's
the whole point of it. Shut the hell up. Hold on,
he's right. JD. Caampa's young sound. Pizza is only good.
It's only okay good for nowhere. Ohio, Wow, wow, Wow,
we have fantastic pizza. I will not hear it. No,
it is not all cut into squares. That's only if
you get a party pizza for a ton of people.
It's usually still in circles. Youngstown pizza is sort of
characterized by a relatively relatively large crust with a very
flavorful bread with the good amount of cheese that sometimes
goes out to the edge. And I think especially a
lot of places here a very kind of green pepper
flavored sauce. Some places it's just even have the green
peppers right in the sauce. It's fantastic. I will not
hear anymore ill will about Youngstown Pizza.
Speaker 3: It's like a fifty chase of gray book description or something.
Speaker 2: Uh e. Jacoalobe actually did five gifted subs as well,
So thank you so much for Jacolobe. Really, thank you.
Jackoalobe also a good name a shit heydo Kojima says,
this is Kachima. At the further discussions of Giant Pomotor,
Dan Reikert, I will be delaying, destraining to to further
degrees its mass appeal. I will be adding ran tripping
and apple picking. F you Tokodour. What an artist. God,
he's so brave. Thank you so much. Today I've had
I've had fantasies by the way of handing access to
a button that I can press to make Dan tripp
whenever I want to, just how funny he really think,
because he's wouldn't be any game better, that wouldn't be
random though, that would be malicious. That's different, Okay. I
have fantasies of setting up a randomizer code.
Speaker 3: Mike whenever you whenever that happens, and Giant Dice show
sees his screen and rolls the dice and if it's
like depending on the novels the tripping because he loves dices.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. I never expected Dan to like
boulders Kate three or whatever. But the fact that the
dice showing up in the game was the thing that
he got real upset about was so freaking that's I mean,
that's the one of the more Paul record like that
was a big as a Paul recordism for sure. Yeah,
Rio says, sorry, y'all, I don't get it. What did
Mike not know? I went to rewatched Rascal, but Mike,
Mike did say at the end his first thing he
did so not the end. After I beat the at
first Atlantis level, I struggled with when I went to
go save after that and now for the gameplay, yeah,
like I don't half Instead of saving after that, I
loaded my save instead and then.
Speaker 1: I went all the way back to basically like the
very early parts of the of the episode, and.
Speaker 2: Then I went and beat a different level. You can
play levels out of order, so I did beat that
one and save, but I had to do that much
more difficult and annoying Atlantis level again.
Speaker 1: Right, so he overrode his save with this new one
that did not include the work he had. He had
done for more than an hour.
Speaker 2: Jason phone and says, suggestion for bike Club Zota two
Adventures a link, but you have to use a power
club the entire time. That might be funny content. I
don't know if that'd be bike Club because yeah, a
bad game. I mean something like that.
Speaker 1: For like if we ever do we were talking about
like a marathon stream at some point something like that
sounds like it could be in the cards.
Speaker 2: That could be cool. At some point. We got to
get to those cd I Zoda games, so somebody's got
to play those. Yeah, there's three of us, so.
Speaker 1: Just like randomize that or have a community assign it
to us or something like that the subscribers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's like random aspifacus, I don't think any
of us what the top down one? Right, that's the
last one you want? Ye uh. Taco Belmont says, trans
rights absolutely translates our human rights. Oh yeah, Taco. Philip
bust us this question for Christian. Has he watched the
Ether not it's an Argentinian show on Netflix. It seems cool.
Speaker 3: I love that show came out, Yes, I did watch it.
That show came out the day I got surgery, so
I watched an entire perfect Yeah, oh yes it was.
I watched it three times already. I watched it by myself,
with my dad and with my sister, and I love
that show. That show is probably the he has the
highest budget the Argentina show, however, had but it's still
like one percent of the Last of Us. I've actually
is comparing them because there's similar and he has huh
and then in the internal as a billion times more
hard than the Last of Us, with all the respect
to the Last of Us. Because I was watching that,
I was watching the Last of Us and I was
all the time thinking about Turnout and how much better
it may portraying human beings that I can connect with.
Maybe it's because it's Argentinian and it's very close, yes,
just by the by the character development and everything. Yeah,
I love that. Now it's super recommended. It's a slow
pace show, you know, but it's all about the characters,
all these normal people dealing with this extraordinary situation and
for the people who doesn't know the whole premise of
the show is that one day in Argentina and middle
of the summer, it starts snowing, and the snow skills
you if you touch it. So all these people need
to deal with that situation. And it's really, really, really
well done. So supermen cool, Ricky beats back. Dyson is
the Wafter Disney suction. It's a real sorry for giving
you moderation trouble, Christian Pennis. I'm well aware that Dyson's
a real product. Right, that's a funny sentence. The Dyson
is the Walt Disney section.
Speaker 2: I'll read this one from Rickey b right now says, shit,
I realized Dyson might be the Koachama that that sounds
right to me. Yeah, mercle says, would you protect your
house with nunchuck u but game cubes on each end
as fists? It seems like it would have hurt somebody.
I mean, you have to handle so it'd be pretty
easy to set up. I think gun cubes would survive
for sure. Yeah, yeah, the case, I wouldn't. I think
that the I assume the intruder has a better weapon
than that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well okay, well what if it's like a baseball
bat the intruder has.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the intruder has. That's the one thing. I mean,
I have other weapons, don't don't invade my house, but
I have the baseball bad is the one I do
think about the most because I have pretty quick access
to that, so I can pick that up and got
a time they have a baseball bat, though, I mean,
I guess I could maybe, like you know, if my
GameCube nunchucks like kind of tie it up and then
like yank the bad away from him, But then it's
a fistfight and I'll lose that too. Well, this is
why you got to practice your game cube now and
Choco way more often than you do. Yeah, it's X
course says I don't know if you heard, Jeff, but
the new Santa Monica's IP is a science fiction Oh
my god.
Speaker 1: This is a reference to the Only thing I said
this morning on Game mess Mornings about like the June
PlayStation showcase, is that there might be a show, not
the showcase, not a state of Player. I don't know,
there's going to be some sort of PlayStation event where're
announcing games or talking about games. At the very least
injured and that's all I said. And then me and
Jesse vid tell You had a nice conversation speculating about
what that could be. And I'm like, oh, maybe that
one Corey Barlow game, the Sony Santa Monica, it was
a sci fi game.
Speaker 2: Maybe they're going to show that off. Maybe it's time
for that.
Speaker 1: And then that became on Twitter, on reset era, and
on Reddit, this massive thing that exploded of me confirming
and announcing that the new Sony Santa Monica game is
a sci fi game.
Speaker 2: That just a bad merories. I don't think they've said
anything about that, whether it's sci fi or right.
Speaker 1: It was just me like like it wasn't there something
that they're doing or something like that. Yeah, it was
like vaguely recalling that.
Speaker 2: Heretic Project game from Naughty Dug. Probably no, no, no,
this is like there was an old, old rumor that
Corey Barlug was doing a sci fi game and that,
but it's like years years old, and apparently it got
like the other rumor is it got canceled or maybe
they even said that got canceled. So I was like
remember remembering that it wasn't anything real.
Speaker 1: It was very clearly me just trying to remember something
like maybe they'll have something like that, and but no,
it was this massive mint like dozens of retweets and
thousands of likes on Twitter and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: It was a nightmare.
Speaker 1: So yeah, once again people just hearing something and wanting
to turn it into news because I said it.
Speaker 2: Ricky B Says shit, Oh no mind, I read that one.
Zay Ark says Mikey. I just got home from watching
Leon Stitch. Ask me anything. Did they put the nine
to eleven scenes back in? For an answer?
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh, you're gonna see it this weekend. Okay, it's
it's out Friday or is it out now?
Speaker 2: I guess this person just come out today Thursday? So yes, Thursday,
about like Thursday night?
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, the preview nights. Okay, yep, I guess I'll
try to take the kids. Then they definitely want to
see it.
Speaker 2: Uh sir, oh h zerh says I wish cowards. The
Stitch doesn't hijack a plane, like did you know about that? Uh? No, wait,
liked he shoot hijack a plane? So the original ending
for Leelan Stitch is uh because you know, so the
bad guy comes into spaceship. It takes Leelo away. So
what Stitch and Nanny and the two of the aliens
do is they hijack A seven forty seven and then
give Chase and the seve Way seven is like flying
pretty close to like skyscrapers and stuff, and it's very
sixteen and that nine to eleven happened, and they actually
pretty like quickly just make it's like, oh, jumping Peaky
had their spaceship two and look at that. It's kind
of the same dimensions as A seven forties. It's like,
you know, they had to like basically animate like some
stingers scenes to explain it, and then basically all the
animation was kept and whatnot. So pretty interesting. It's very
very incredible. Does any of that footage exist anywhere, like
of the original even in the DVD features? Maybe, Yes,
it's out there and it's pretty weird. M So to
even like make it so it's flying between mountains instead
of buildings like the job, you wouldn't have known. You
would not have known. So rochet Chow, He says, dearest Jeffery,
my wife and I have been wondering what the poster
behind your head is with the three satellite things long
enough to pay you for the answer. You guys rock,
thank you, thank you, sir Rachah, which one is it?
You know? Oh yeah, oh yeah, that's yeah, right right right,
Space Harrier. That's one that God or people people, people
know his name even he's an old magazine publishing guy
who I'm you know, I'm friendly with, and he has
started like making stuff like that. He does a million
things now, but he like reached out and say, hey,
I made this.
Speaker 1: I think it'd be cool if you, you know, you
just took it. I'm like, yeah, I would love that.
He gave me some options and one of them was
Space Harrier, and I think Space Harrier is one of
the coolest looking games. So yeah, if you can kind
of see the bottom, you could see like the Space
Hairrier guy.
Speaker 2: Running through the scene or whatever. But yeah, it's fucking
awesome that Doctor Ryan says super chatting and it's straight
from Disneyland, where Mickey Mouse just told me. Jeff Grubb
confirmed him personally that at Sunny Santa Monica is making keendom.
Hearts for thanking Doctor Ryan. That's right. Actually our Disneyland ooh,
Disneyland is fun. I know, I said, we were probably
not time to go to Disneyland. It's true, but boy,
it's like Disneyland's fun. We'll go to a park soon though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I might be there like early, because I have
this flight that I can't change.
Speaker 2: I haven't tried to change. I might go. I mean, listen,
I'm telling you now. I mean to be clear. Isn't
our AIRBA or isn't like where we're going to be
a very close to Universal, which I know you've been
to recently.
Speaker 1: Well no, no, but but that we won't have that
at that point. So I'm gonna have to get my
own place. So yeah, we'll see. Or I was gonna
stay with families, So I don't know, we'll see.
Speaker 2: Ricky be says what other English phrases hit like give chase? Oh,
give chase is pretty good, right, give chase is good? Yeah,
maybe nothing. I don't know.
Speaker 1: There's definitely the phrases that I like, but none of
them are coming to mind in the moment. Yeah, shut
up and slam, oh Valley Fair. John Carson says that's good. Also,
John Carson said he would play Quest sixty four on
Blake Club if we ever needed a break well, you know,
and that's not how it work. It would be because
we want to punish you, John Carson. But is Quest
sixty four bad enough in your opinion? We've kind of
like gone back and forth on that.
Speaker 2: Sure, it's bad enough, but I think it's like I
always talked about Blake Forever, right, And maybe if we
ever did a bonus thing, I don't think it would
be like the Blake Club game for the next seven months.
Is Quest sixty four maybe as a bonus thing, maybe
for the premium only, I don't know. Maybe not we
do a Blait Forever of Quest exty four, maybe even
as us thinking turns or something.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, or it could be like that instead
of a traditional endurance run, a blight you know, Blake
Forever endurance run where it's gonna be a longer game,
but we play every.
Speaker 2: Day for quite some time. Yeah, maybe something like that. Yeah,
it'd be fun. I don't think it's honestly super terob
not you know, for Dan. Maybe it will be because
it's a boring RPG. I don't know, but I would
love to get sick pleasure out of Quest sixty four.
That's it for Supertest from now. Thank you everybody. If
you have any more, please send them and we will
read them before the end of the show. Thank you.
All right, let's take a quick break.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're going to be just talking
about how we're feeling about SGF, our expectations, just like
what the energy is we're getting from it right now
at this point. We'll talk about that right after this.
All right, we're back, Mike game has decides. Let's decide
how we're feeling about SGF, Summer Game Fest, the the
Kile's of the summers, the festival and parade of announcements
from all these big companies. Are you feeling like this
year is going to live up to your expectations? And
I guess what are those expectations?
Speaker 2: But my expectations are low and I'm just don't know why.
But it just really I really am not expecting much.
It feels off. It just feels kind of still and quiet.
Part of it is like there's such a switch to
and somehow, even though it's not even coming out this year,
a GTA six ward text out there right now, and
I'm part of me it is like, what are they?
What are people even gonna announce? And there are always
things and it'll be interesting, I guess. Like to me,
so much of it comes down to is there going
to be a resident Evil nine type announcement. It doesn't
necessarily have to be that, but it would be nice.
Capcom participate in the Summer Game Fest relatively extensively in
previous years, so and I'm like, well, where else would
they do this if not here the Game Awards, I
guess their own thing, But this seems like perhaps a place,
but you know, something like that. There are other things, like,
you know, maybe we do hear about Injustice three. There's
been some rumors about that and stuff like that, but
there's like a part of sing but we could go
through this whole thing, maybe not get an announcement on
that level. Well, even as I say that that probably
can't be true, but I don't know why.
Speaker 1: I'm preparing for that showcase at the very least, right
like the Xbox showcase will talk about a lot of
their bigger games that they still have coming.
Speaker 2: They have so much stuff that's been an ounced forever
ago that still isn't even coming out this year that
they still need to show more up.
Speaker 1: But it's like Perfect Dark looks awesome in the outer
World two looks awesome. If all these games look as
good as they possibly can, it could still feel like
a pretty good show, I think, so, I guess that's
what I'm hoping for.
Speaker 2: Maybe that is also setting expectations low in a way.
I guess it is.
Speaker 1: I think at Kiley's Summer Game Fest Live thing, I
really don't know what to expect at that show. I
think that there's a strong chance that we just won't
have a lot of really amazing things to play on
the Playdays show floor. That's kind of definitely the direction
I'm leaning right now. And then I guess another part
of it depends on when does Sony show up with
their thing and like how big is that thing? That
those are still questions for me alone and everyone else.
So yeah, I'm also setting my expectations pretty low overall,
and it's like hard to put my finger on why
that's happening. So uh, I guess if you were to
like put your your like feelers out at a possible
like this could happen, and I'm hoping it does.
Speaker 2: Like what comes to mind first, I was sorry, can
you say that again? Sure? A gain, no problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you were like trying to like, uh, figure
out like what could be probable that could get.
Speaker 2: Announced and it would like still excite you. Do you
have anything that comes to mind for that? Residentia is
what comes to mind first, for sure. There are some
other things that have been either rumored or just talked
about a little bit. That Double seven game. We saw
it pop up for a moment at Nintendo's I mean,
dare I say soak song even though I'm not sure
if it's if that's here, but right, we've done it
many times. Keeley is very you know, Keeley likes to
get those kind of announcements, ones that people are really
hoping looking forward to. So maybe he is doing a
lot of maneuvering to get that, But he also doesn't
have as much money your support to offer a say
a Nintendo or Microsoft maybe does when it comes to that.
And you know, here's hey, that Massic nine remake. Chat's rights, Jeff,
I've been waiting for that thing for a while. Now
we are in the midst of the twenty fifth anniversary
for that game. It feels a little bit almost now
for now or never for that one. Huh maybe not,
but a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, g there's that and final fantasy tactics that are
supposed to supposed to come back, and it's like, man,
those really are the last I mean they might be
the last games overall, but they are definitely the last
ones that people are talking about from the nvidio weeks.
So yeah, it would be nice to see that.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: We have some people from our community who have provided
some of their responses. These are all podcast producers. They
did this in the discord, which you could do as
well if you join patreon dot com slash game mess
Tommy Pencils said, uh, leisure suit Larry wet Dreams dot
a dry thrice he wants wow.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, that's a that's a big call out
right there. Yeah. Uh. This is from Nintendo who says
the legend of Zelda Ochren of Time too. It'd be
funny if they just called a game that even after
my Door's mask was basically that, I mean, we had
we did basically get leaked to the past too. But again,
dos basket is oqeren have time too? Ye? Uh?
Speaker 1: Alex Gogo says spoon Heaven and this is a picture
drawn and paint of a spoon arriving from Heaven.
Speaker 2: Have I ci every time. I just I just can't
believe that that was the name you came up. Well,
you couldn't remember the words hollow Night's so suck. We
got to make like a super limited run merch thing
that is spoon Heaven. I don't like.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe an ne e s one of the black
label cartridges that just is like a spoon Heaven And yeah, okay,
I'll get I'll work on that.
Speaker 2: I want to say because someone in chat just said
the Kade Tour remake. Even though oh, Sonny not evolved anymore,
I've seen some things recently like yeah, maybe actually maybe
code toor remake. I don't know. I have no idea's
gonna be here, but I think that thing is more
real than perhaps I want. The data is all I'm
gonna say. Yeah.
Speaker 1: At this point, it's like, uh, it's been reiterated to
me over and over again that Saber is dead serious
on getting that done. It's just, you know, the reason
I was confused alone. It's like, no, Sony is done
with that thing. So as far as Sony's concerned, the
project is canceled because it's involvement is that and that
is canceled. But it seems like Saber might you know,
actually deliver on that. And like you said, who knows
if it actually shows up this summer, but I would
not be surprised at this point. All right, So let's
see here, I'm gonna kind of hit some of these
highlight ones. Eden wants Stellar Blade two. They kind of
soft confirm that. I don't think that shows up quite yet, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Maybe not yet. It seems like that was still pretty
recently and I know that they can maybe maneuver a
bit faster over there, but yeah, that's a little soon.
I think they have DLC coming out, so it's like, yeah,
that feels very early.
Speaker 1: Matt has an interesting one. It's like, oh, if we
get a lot of these this, I would consider this
a very good summer game fest, especially if they look good.
Jets at Radio, Shanobi, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Crazy Taxi,
and then Matt drew in Virtual Fighter alongside the and
more all those Sega throwback games that are like new
versions of these games coming back.
Speaker 2: Man, we could see a bunch of those. Sega's got
a lot cooking right now. And yeah, like you know,
some of these are relatively soon, like Shanobi we'll probably
see more of that, and I'll be super excited to see.
It's one of my most anticipated games this year, honestly.
Virtual Fighter. Yeah, tons of excitement there. Yeah, but you know,
jets at Radio a Crazy Taxi specifically have been propped
up as kind of the bigger one of these, so
I'd love to see what those actually look like.
Speaker 1: Let's see Blaze and Noah says Crono Trigger remake, God,
I don't. I think what they should do with Crono
Trigger is just sort of like a remaster, which is
just like maybe make it sixteen.
Speaker 2: By nine, and I don't know, not much else. They
don't do much else to that. I mean, look, if
you make an ad that'll it looks pretty. I don't know,
but I don't. I almost don't even I don't. I
almost don't even really need that will Trigger. It's such
a good looking game already, which need the definitive version
of it. We just need the last part of that
we can get is all we really need. Yep, always
be clothing.
Speaker 1: Slash Corgany says, I'm hoping to support independent website Giant
Bomb by going to giant bomb dot com. Slash joined
then watching nightly SGF coverage also to maybe deliver supplies
slash assist if needed. ABC will have you on call.
Don't you worry about that, Mdy says a full GB couch.
Speaker 2: I'm working on it. Let's let's make it happen, everybody.
Speaker 1: Steve mentioned Residing Evil nine as well input name here
once the hot Dog Roller. Jan has not brought that
up yet. I'll see if he wants to get back
on that. It might be that that was back when
we had corporate budget. I'm not sure if he's just
hot on that idea now. Evo Janis wants blueprints on
switch to, and they would do that for sure. Yeah,
GB pies ballin Wonderworld, ip says Marvel Rivals on switch to.
That seems maybe probable, maybe not probable, but possible. Egipsis
says The Bugs Bunny Birthday blow Out full remake of
by Blue Point pretty much just take demon souls and
put Bugs as the main character and replace the dragons
with Taz.
Speaker 2: It's almost the same thing. I liked that game as
a kid. I had no idea. People thought it was
bad until they I think revideo Game NERD episode. So
I liked, you know, I like the Bugs Bunny's Birthday
blow out.
Speaker 1: It turns out that angry video game Nerd got very
angry at video games pretty easily Persona six. That that's
when we're like, we might hear about that at some
point this year. I don't know, maybe not Summer game.
Speaker 2: Maybe, although there's been like seemingly more of a meta
for Persona four remake already actually, so maybe hopefully one
of them. It could be one of the things where
they announced both and it's like, hey, like Persona four
remake soon and then Persona six later. Yeah there's no
rush though, is what you're saying. And I agree.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of people are saying they just want
to see a lot of games they like on switch to,
like Dom Fres saying Rascal too. Of course, of course,
Willow Davis says, a Mega Man game with reploids lights
are this is the Mega Man X such Mega Man
zero robots.
Speaker 2: Are these are the wife fus that I'm looking at
this a wife food she is, but there are all reploids.
You're either a rep lad or you're a Maverick in
the Mega man X universe. Okay, Yeah, Jordan thirty two
had mentioned maybe a that that new Dragon Quest. Dragon Quest.
That's twelve that they're on, right, yeah, twelve yeah, yeah,
well gosh, at some point we are going to see
something about that. I think it's going to be very
awkward if they come out like we've maybe even Dragon
Quest not turn based anymore. Mm hmmm, we'll see, yeah,
especially with turn based just being kind of hot in
this moment. Uh.
Speaker 1: Doctor Ryan says Mike Noddy to be announced as the
new playable character in ICP's Backyard Wrestling three.
Speaker 2: Think we can make that happen, community, Thank you. I
feel like we can do it. Let's see here. Big
Tony just says Nintendo Switch three. Sure, uh.
Speaker 1: And then fire Hair twelve thousand says if Kili can
get Okami two, he can get Half Life three.
Speaker 2: Does Gabe appear on stage? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I guess you should actually talk about this. Huh yeah,
half Life three is possible.
Speaker 2: It is. Halfway three is the one that, like, to me,
it almost is just like it gets like chicily announced
in a tweet.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's when they could definitely shadow drop, because.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they show you on the Steam blog they have
a page gonna show up, and that's what you're gonna
know the game's right, I mean you.
Speaker 1: Put you put it on the front page of Steam
and say it's out now, and it's like, that's kind
of like the biggest billboard you could possibly have because
every day thirty million people log in that to buy
video games or at least play video games.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think they could even do that in
that game would do very well. All right, Christian says
Shadow Drop Arc.
Speaker 3: Raiders' that neat?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting. Okay, does Deep Down show up? Mike? No,
this pragmata? Sure? Okay, what are there some lost games.
Speaker 3: The Dragon gave the Xbox Dragon game?
Speaker 2: Oh? Sure? Yeah? Did they go back to the Dragon
one with the what's not quote now ship the scale
scale bound scale?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Good job? Yeah, yes, scarcely, I remember general scales from
Dinosaur Planet and then I got there. Yeah, Beyond Good
and Evil too. God, it's I'll tell you why they
keep us as in that game is real. We better
get a wellness check on that one if you want
me to still actually believe you.
Speaker 1: That apparently there's still in that big budget Raymond game,
Raymond ray Man game.
Speaker 2: That's I'm like, what are you talking about? Thing? I
mean like they were just hiring for it, and so
I read the news story and everyone's like this got
announced and they're maker Remaker ray Man two. What are
we doing? Yeah? Weird?
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, StarCraft Ghosts. That's guaranteed for the show that
everybody loves ray Man.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, you know, there's so many things that can
happen like games right now, and again, I don't think
we're going to know any of it until we see
They're like, oh, dy' see that coming. But that makes sense,
you know everything we said here Jeff like some of
these have to show up. But that's my word. It's like, man,
what if none of this somewhat exciting stuff shows up?
I don't know why. Again, I don't know why. I'm
like feeling that that could happen. That would be very pessimistic,
that'd be very disappointed.
Speaker 1: Is it this that actually a lot of publishers are
like looking at that week and be like, why would
we announce our game the week that Switch two comes out?
Speaker 2: Like why why would we? It's like the same week.
Speaker 1: It's like people who are playing games are going to
be playing the Switch to You're gonna be excited about that,
And they're gonna be thinking about all the money they
just spent on that system, and they're gonna want games
for the switch to. So unless I have a switch
to game, kind of what am I doing even talking
about my game that week?
Speaker 2: Is that? I don't know. I don't know if anything
too much of a concern. Maybe not. I mean, at
some point you's got to announce these things.
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, and I don't. I don't actually think viewership
for Summer Game Fest stuff will be down because of
Nintendo Switch too.
Speaker 2: That's that.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's actually gonna happen, But I wonder
if maybe publishers think that way. Probably not, Okay, I
guess any final thoughts about Summer Game Fest. I mean
just generally, I'm excited to go hang out with our friends. Actually,
I have a bunch of people who have switch twos,
all in the same place at the same time. Do
the couch not like jd Vance does everybody just have
the couch then and then and then, you know, probably
come up with a couple of dumb ideas because we
do have switch twos, make make a quick video or
whatever and do a show floor walk through it. Like
I'm excited about the stuff that we do, and I'm
not really thinking that much about what Summer Game Fest
is gonna be.
Speaker 2: That's sort of part. It's just it's been so much,
you know, with everything going on at Giant Bomb and
then trying to get stuff figured out there that didn't
even really thought that much about, Like they're gonna announce
new video games at this thing, right, So this is
some of the first time even thought about some of
the stuff. So even this has made me feel a
bit better about like, yeah, there's still plenty of stuff
that could show up here, things we haven't heard about
from a while, like Kotor, you know, things that we're
hoping to be a nowns like Bomb Fancy nine. So yeah,
I bet that there will still have some things that
will make me go vertical.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like Grounded two during early access this year. Everybody
get ready for it, like real quick. Justin Lecovellas in
chat says said something responded to someone about Tonyawks prestkater
three plus four. Did I mention to you that time
I heard like that video that pronounced it thips zips?
Did you guys know, have you ever heard anyone say
it that way?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Not like not a real person, right, so yeah,
they'd be an Internet person.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I think this is a very Internet person
because they said thips so many times that I'm like,
this has got to be a I And by the
end of MI I was convinced it was a I'm
pretty sure it was.
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, yeah, that's I said, not a real person.
Speaker 1: I was like joking, but no, I know exactly like
this is very yes, yeah, okay, Well there we go.
It bothered me, and it stuck with me every time
I see Tony O's pro skater.
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, initialized like that. Now I hear thips
and I don't want to hear that. It's bad.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's that does it for that. Let's let's
take one last break. We'll come back, clean up super
chats after we talk about what we've been playing, and
then we'll get out of here. All right, we are back,
Mike Manati. What have you been playing?
Speaker 2: What have I been playing? Gosh, kind of a bit
of a butt of honestly, Uh, hal Cover SI K
two has been a big part of it. I actually
have been playing a decent amount of ranked matches for fun,
just trying to make my random team work and it's yeah,
that games is very good. It's just definitely one of
my favorite fighting games. So I've on with that bit
of Doom one on my switch and then the PC
Doom the Dark Age is definitely was playing even a
more expedition thirty three that clear up scare, and it
continues to be absolutely fantastic. I'm like fifteen hours in
now and still I'm just so freaking happy with it.
It's not slowing down at all, just an incredible pace.
It's great because the game has meaningful story sequences. It
also has like chunky dungeons. I feel like a lot
of rpts now, Like the actual dungeons could be so
short and feel so small. And here it's like, no,
enter this new place. This is where the enemies are,
and I'm gonna be here for ninety minutes. And it's
great because the combat is so freaking good. I'm gonna
run around, even the exploring fields rewarding, like running around everywhere,
And it almost could be annoying because there's no mini map,
and I don't know if I would be like, well,
you don't have a minimap because of the mentalist CUI.
I don't think i'd be upset if there's a mini map.
I think I still consider right, but it's worth exploring
because the things you can't f find are so meaningful
with those pictos and weapons and other things like that.
So I basically just still think the World of Expedition
thirty three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's one where it's as all these games
have entered my orbit in the last few months at
this point, and I've spent like a brief amount of
time with them. That's the one I'm like, Oh, that's
staying at the top of my thoughts where I'm like,
I really was enjoying that, and so I do want
to commit to going back and playing quite a bit more.
I wish it ran on one of my handheld PCs
well enough to justify it, but it's got all those
timing based attacks and timing based defenses and it's important,
so any lost frames can really hurt.
Speaker 2: So I just kind of can't play it that you've
been running up against more friction egs. You say, you know,
even road Craft isn't working great on your Steam deck.
You kind of getting frustrated.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's definitely we're at a point where,
like it's more frequent that a game I want to
play doesn't run well enough on the handhelds these days,
and that includes you know, I do have a Roger
ally that I try it on every once in a while,
and you know, Expedition thirty three isn't running well on
there either. Yeah, it's getting a little frustrated. So I
am trying to like use the the streaming PC stuff.
That's really it's more finicky than it should be. It's
kind of a it's annoying how a finicky that can be.
And then you know, I put my my Steam deck
to sleep, and well, right now it's doing this weird
bug where if I put it to sleep, it closes
the streaming game on the computer, which is more annoying
because sometimes it's like I didn't save or I didn't
remember to save, and that's just not the behavior that.
Speaker 2: I was expecting. You h yeah, I know, right. But
then it's the other thing.
Speaker 1: You're not allowed to make that joke anymore, by the way,
But now it's you know the other thing of it,
like running on the PC constantly because I did put
the steam deck to sleep and it is still running,
but I forgot it and so it's just my computer's
running this game all day.
Speaker 2: I hate that feeling.
Speaker 1: So just overall not a great solution or at least
not good enough for me personally in the way I
play games. So yeah, a little frustrating, But I don't
know you playing anything else.
Speaker 2: That's that's uh been the Biggs again. A lot of
Doom one. Well I beat Doom one, now Doom two,
which is you know, it's funny because I never played
that much Doom two back in the day, mostly Doom one.
Turns out Doom two is pretty similar. Actually in my
mind there was more different about a Doom two, but uh,
basically the same stuff that you know, they have like
new enemies and I think some new weapons, but it's
the same engine, it's the same general look and feel.
It's not it's not really any kind of leap there.
We had to wait till that build engine we got
stuff like Blood and Duke Dukeom three D for kind
of the next leap there. Then obviously I had Quake
after that, right, yeah, I think that's uh, John, not Romero.
Speaker 1: What's the other John John Karmack Karmack, Well, it was
like already kind of working on Quake by the time
that John Romero was nin Doom, so.
Speaker 2: Making all those levels for Doom too, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Uh okay, let's see here. Uh yeah, let's finish up
the super chats.
Speaker 2: Mike, what do we have? Sure, let's see zay Ark says,
extra blight an extra life donation incentive since one of
the Blake boys into the active Noobshole to stream a
Blake Club Game two completion. Oh my god. Uh we
should we should have like a noobshole, but set it
up with one of the Blake Club games. You just
have to play it for as ever long as you're
sent in there. That's a pretty good idea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that we'd have to find the exact right game,
though I don't know. It has to be almost equivalent
in pain to Nubes, and I have to I'd have
to think about what that would be.
Speaker 2: No, let's see Hindu here as a message retracted. I
don't know if they did that or if mods did that,
but there you got means that they took it out.
They did it, they took it out. Well, thank you, Hindu,
because we know we had something earlier. Jar Austin's is
just a small token of my appreciation. Currently doing chemo
for stage three cancer, very curable the type I have,
but I'm very thankful for you guys dress and I
uh glad to hear that, but still sorry you have
to go through that, and I help everything continues to
go well, and thank you so much for your support.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, I'm glad you could hang out
with us and uh if we could be even a
little small distraction or help you get a little positivity
in there, I'm hoping that that's what it's accomplishing for you.
And yep, stay strong. I know chemo can suck, So thanks,
thanks for spending some time with us.
Speaker 2: Wolf says, Wait, Trekman was mean to Mike when totally
just he was. He was a little dismissive at the
three the E three event where.
Speaker 1: Yes, the lost last Sony PlayStation E three, the one
that back of our complains a lot about if you
were listening to the Beast cast from uh, maybe we
were in like we were in like the fake version
of the church from alasta Us part two, Right, That's
what it was, and then shuffle us to all these
other areas whatever. Me and Mike really liked the whole
get up. Everyone else didn't like it, but we liked it.
It was like a yeah, yeah. It was like then
you go outside and there's a bunch of Spider Man
stuff all over the place, like real news stands that
looked like they were from you know, the daily Google
goles have with them.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So anyway, we get done.
Speaker 1: As we're leaving, Mike sees Truckman and he goes up
wants to tell him, hey, I really like your games. Uh,
and he just kind of did the eye roll thing
and just didn't like seem to want to be complimented
or whatever.
Speaker 2: And I get out of that happens. I just thought
it was a little bit rude. That's all. There's a
way to do that that's less rude. He didn't a
way that I thought it was a little bit rude.
I'm like it was, you know, it was a late
night I get it. He probably had. I bet a
social meter was filled exactly.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 1: It was just like very it was very small. It
was me like just making decisions like, oh I like Mike,
Marna like this guy. So it was just kind of
that's all.
Speaker 2: It really was. Dubious. Food says hey, Mike, I got
us Nazzy rumble pack icon it and so I got
that too. Seeah, all these like classic console ones. So
like for this first week it's turns, it's NYS and
then sixty four and it's much more than they show.
That's what the fine print was. There's tons of options there.
You get like tons of sixty four controller colors. You
can get like Rob the robot on ne S. You
can get a top loader or a ne E S.
There's all sorts of options. So you know, like when
it's GameCube week, you'll be able to pick all sorts
of fun stuff. I'm sure a wave bird, well WaveBird
will be an option. Even where do I go to
get these things? Cause I guess it? Yeah? So app okay,
all right, So like that's like there's a bunch of
icons at a boutom of the screen for picking things,
and one of them is in a Nintendo Switch online.
I clicked there, and which of them costs like ten
silver coins? You probably right?
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I have seen this before, Okay, I
just haven't engaged with that too frequently. I think I've
still used the same icon or no, my kids change
my icon all the time now, So it's like I
just stopped caring.
Speaker 2: I've been rocking Geno from Mario RPG for a while,
but once like, what's I have price Orange game Cube options?
Lookout world, tell you. I was going through my switch
games tonight because one of the kids wanted to play something,
and so it's just going through like the full library
of stuff I have installed.
Speaker 1: That's a good library of games. I saw Super MARIORPG
in like hell yeah. Then Thousand Year Door hell yeah,
and then's just like so many Pickment four. I was
just seeing all these things, like so many good memories,
with so many great games on this system.
Speaker 2: You are still on the hook for finishing thousand Year Door, mister,
You're right, I didn't finish that. Okay, I'll get back
on it, thank you. There's something you can play well,
nothing works on your Steam deck if you can get
the switch off the kids hands. Yeah, they're playing it
a lot right now. Teddy bare Rock says, I have
either of you checked out the Retro Classic on game
Pass leaderboards and deliy choulenges follow the Microsoft Studios. Lots
of potential. I see something about this. I know AJ
was It's because Torren's passage was there or something but
I haven't seen much about that. Yeah, I'll check this out.
Is this only on Xbox or is it on Windows.
Speaker 3: PC's some Windows species streaming. I saw my friend playing
and it seems pretty cool. He has some achievements and
everything and like a ladle bore And they also do
like tournaments in the app where like you can join
and thing against other people, like time based. It seems
pretty pretty neat.
Speaker 2: Okay, so it's interesting. Overjoyed to see demo Derby back
It's My Fair featuring Giant Bomb. Video had a great
start when Jeff mistook Sean Palmer for Sean White. It
was funny when that was happening, because you know, I mean, like,
that's not him. Part of me is like, I'm not
thinking of Sean White? Is he?
Speaker 1: And I was like no, definitely was of course. I was, Yeah,
I'm like the Seawan that snowboards, right, and that's all
I had. That guy did look funny. Yeah, and that
was a picture, screamed developer. It streamed guy just putting
his own face.
Speaker 2: In a video game. It just did. Tim Shallow said
any guests in the first three games of Microsoft announced
for the switch to hoping for Master Chief collection on
my end, I mean, is that why held off on
Halo so far being the last thing they have announced,
because they want to maybe make a splash with that
being on Nintendo as a big surprise. Yeah, excuse me.
Speaker 1: I was on VGC this morning and we were kind
of talking about some of these things. I don't think
that episode's out yet, and they might put it out.
Speaker 2: Maybe it is.
Speaker 1: I have no idea, but and we were talking about it,
and I'm sorry I lost my train of thought when
I was trying to remember if the episode was out
what we were talking about.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about what excuse me, Microsoft game issre gonna
get NUS for switch sto. Oh right, Yeah, we were
explaining to each other.
Speaker 1: It's like, this is the kind of thing where Microsoft
probably does realize it should just bring its games to
a Nintendo Direct and announce stuff there, because everyone just
assumes that all their games are on Xbox, and the
audience that tuned out Xbox because they didn't have an
Xbox just doesn't know where to look for that information
and doesn't care to look for it. So Microsoft kind
of to force themselves in front of that audience. So yeah,
I think they've been holding off on it until they
could be on a direct and they maybe couldn't.
Speaker 2: Be in that first one, so if they have another
one coming up, maybe that's where they do it. But yeah,
other other I mean, what other Microsoft games you think
we might hear about relatively soon here for switch to
because we don't have Thieves was rumored? Yeah? Grounded? Yeah,
if ground it's not on switch right, Maybe that is
on switch one. I can't can't remember remember High we
thought High Fight Rush was coming to switch one. There's
like that data mine of us, and then it happened.
I don't see why it can't come to uh, well,
because it's owned by a different company. That's them anymore. No, right,
But that company could put it on on switch too.
Speaker 1: Maybe they're like when they got when they got sold,
maybe part of that work got shifted over and like, hey,
look this work is pretty much done, but you're gonna
need the switch to.
Speaker 2: Is that cool? That's build that into the price something
like that. Grounded is on switch that's right, Okay, I
mean we got those other Doom games on switch one.
I don't see why we didn't get Doomed the Dark
Ages on switch to, right. That's a good point. Yeah, yeah,
and then it engine can do that for sure. We
got Forts Horizon on PlayStation recently. I don't know, why
not switch to what about Starfield?
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, for some reason, Reddit still
sometimes shows me this subreddit called no Sodium Starfield, which
is just like people who don't want whining about Starfield.
Speaker 2: They just want to enjoy it.
Speaker 1: Yes, right, And so those people are like coming around
to the point where they're like, no, this game is
good now, and I'm like, well, I can't trust this,
but that is the only thing that right, it shows
me about Starfield. So I'm like, in my head, it's like, oh,
maybe that game is in a better place. I guess
that's possible. I don't know if they want to spend
the time like reintroducing that game to the Nintendo Switch audience,
but maybe maybe it'll be worth it.
Speaker 2: And at some point they're going to put it on PlayStation.
Speaker 1: They're gonna put on PlayStation. You're right, so maybe that
maybe that'll dictate it. If it goes well on PlayStation,
maybe then it makes the leap to switch.
Speaker 2: To Yeah, all right. Next one here is from Nick
Marzanos's tip to the mods or keeping the vibes right. Yes,
thank you very much. Mods at surface cases, Mike, don't
forget licky boom boom down. I will never think licky
boom boom down. That's how that goes. No, ye uh,
Bryce Mill thinks, says, my girlfriend thinks Mike is a
cutie pie. Thank you very much, Bryce and his girlfriend.
A lot of people's like wives and girlfriends, specifically like me, Jeff,
I don't yeah, yeah, like, I don't think I could
begin to reverse engineer and understand like why that specific
subset of people. It's true, you know this. I do know.
Speaker 1: I no, no, no, exactly. That's why I even thought about.
It's why I'm bringing, like, continue the conversation.
Speaker 2: It's true for sure. The only once I took a
little bit of convincing, funnily enough for my brother's wives
a little bit too close to the sun.
Speaker 3: When about you sleeping naked on one of the naked
you that's what she said, you were naked?
Speaker 2: No, I was warning, So there you go. All right,
that's it with the super chats. Oh right, Heley and
Intelligence says, love you dudes. That's all. Thank you Heli
and Super, Thank you Intelligent. We appreciate it. That's very
you know, it's play on words, you know, all right, right,
right right, I get in it, all right. That does
for super chats. That does it for now. Yeah, I
mean I guess we're wrapping up now. So because we
did it, that was fun. We uh, we had a
good week of content over on giant bomb dot com
in on games because you put out some good videos here, honestly,
and you know, thanks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like I was like hitting a good
stride this week where it's like last week I was trying,
like we started up working a Giant Bomb again, and
I was tired and a lot of things were happening,
and I would get a little bit time during during
the day, I'm like, I just there's no way I
can get a video and this is going to be impossible.
And then this week it's like there's a couple of
pockets here where I can still make this happen. And
I'm like putting my brain in a situation where like
I'm thinking of out those kinds of videos and once
I have an once I have an idea, it's very easy.
It's just like as long as I can find the time.
So yeah, I'm gonna do more of those. Maybe not
five a week ever, but two to three a week
that seems possible. So yeah, I'm enjoying doing that.
Speaker 3: Still, that's sounds cool. You should you should let know
your you know your producer you're doing those so he can.
Speaker 2: Like, sounds good.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep putting them up on early on Patreon,
and when I do that, I'll tell you when I'm.
Speaker 2: Doing that, so then you can put it up on
the podcast face Yeah. Jackeb Sax, Safe for the Future, GP,
Quick Looks and Demic Derby happened great, Thank you, Jackalope,
thank you.
Speaker 3: All right, right, the community games is happening. They're doing already.

very least.
Speaker 1: The very least i'll be I'll be on my Steam
deck playing with y'all for a capcom fighting collection. I
might not be able to hop on the computer and
get on like Discord or something like that, but maybe
I could just get a few matches at youself.

Speaker 1: And all new vers what three Okay, that's awesome. All right,
let's let's get back into it.
Speaker 3: All right, we're on a break. There's a link to
the thread for the people visions until it's on the.
Speaker 2: Dock or did you actually you get that right? Let
me take Penning out then real quick. Okay, it won't
take long. Yeah, but you go do your thing, do
your thing. Tab Okay, we go. All right, thanks for
hanging in there, everybody. I'm pretty I'm like tired but
also kind of wired at the same time.
Speaker 3: Tired and wired. Yeah that's what you want.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, it's better than a lot of other like
scenarios right oh yeah yeah, where you're tired and crashing
or whatever. Big part.
Speaker 1: It's just like every time I begin to like feel tired,
I remember the four or five things I'm supposed to
take care of, and it's okay, all right, let's there's.
Speaker 3: No time to be tired.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sleep and I'm dead exactly.
Speaker 3: I was stuck with my friends about the Giant Bonte
and it's like, how are they're doing over there? I'm
like they're kind of on fire, but like they're doing
you know, it's a good kind of on fire where
they're solving stuff and getting stuff done. And he was like, yeah,
that's what you want. Guess you wake up moving around.
Speaker 2: I think we I think we did.
Speaker 1: Actually maybe, you know, I'm pretty sure we booked a
place for Summer Game Festa GB at night and it's
cool looking space. I'm pretty excited about it. Of course
we're gonna like as soon as we're there, I'm sure
we're gonna run into a million things that like, oh man,
we have to solve this problem. But that's we do
that everywhere we're at. So, uh, that's fine. Yeah, that
was like the last thing that was really hanging over
my head in a big way. Now that that's done,
it's like, okay, I can knock over a bunch of
these other dominoes that I was waiting to fall into
place once that happened.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's good, you other buddy, Yeah, fine, it is,
it is for sure. Yeah, of course it's la. Of
course they've shot Peorn at the place where we're filming at.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we considered a bunch of different places, and I
would say ninety percent of them had had porn shot within.
Speaker 3: The Yes, like it's just that's every hotel.
Speaker 2: In LA Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and it's like one of the better things
is like in the past, for the past couple of years,
we were doing our thing at Fandom's office, which was
kind of a ways away from everything, like where people
are at, like in downtown LA or like where a
summer game fest happens at. And now yes, and now
this is much closer. So yeah, now it'll be easier
to get more people to come hang out with this.
Speaker 3: I think it's a good yeah. Yeah, yeah, I remember
the fundom of this has been away because I had
to ship some stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, Yeah, you saw that. All right, man.
How much fago do they talk about on this episode
of Voicemail dumb Truck.
Speaker 3: A lot of fag A lot of that that you know,
the sea word were already we're already used allowance allowances
for the three letters.
Speaker 2: Yeah all right, the three letters.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's a seaword is way downward, the British
people say all the time, right, oh yeah, Mike did
learn about busting and nuts uh yeah, yeah, he didn't
know about that. They yell at damn. That was that
really grind my gears. They yell at a damn because
I ask about Magic the gathering, and he say, oh,
do people play the game, which is a valid question
because every it is everybody yell at him like like
he said something horrible. But it's only question because every
single video I come across and I play Magic, and
like I know about Pokemon and all that ship. Every
video I come across is about all these freaks. They're
like orgasm every time they open that park.
Speaker 2: With the right it seems like it's about collecting, like
when you were looking at it.
Speaker 3: From people play the game, it's about the generator. Yeah,
but from outside you don't know that, Mike. You had to,
you know, put yourself on someone else's shoes.
Speaker 2: I'm back my dinosaur story.
Speaker 1: All right, I'll bring the show back and then we
can do this this whole thing right here we go,
Carson Chat says, Dan knows I play every day long.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. Yeah, but that's he's like that with it
was the final Fantasy for kids. Alright, anybody who plays
Fantasy fourteen, I sound like making mouse Now that's what
he sounds, right, do you know what.
Speaker 3: Could you do it right away?
Speaker 2: All right, yeah, I'm ready to go back into it.
Speaker 3: Remember to read a community even think after we finish.
Remind people about the game, the games we have running.
Speaker 2: Oh right, yes, I see it right there. Okay, cool,
I got it.
