Speaker 1: It's the Internet. You're busy, Let's do this. Welcome to
the Game As Decides Podcast. This is the podcast where
we decide everything about the world of games, so you
never have to think for yourself.
Speaker 2: I'm your host. Jeff Grubbin Whitley is Mike Manatti.
Speaker 1: In today's episode, Leon is back, Echo is back, and
mess of a guest is back.
Speaker 2: But first, Mike, how are you doing.
Speaker 3: I'm good, like, uh, you know, uh, personally, lots of
lots of things are happening that are nice for me,
at least in terms of video game things.
Speaker 2: You know, that's just breaking Mikey's way.
Speaker 3: There's that that I've been complaining for what feels like
a decade, and it might not be that far off. Actually,
you were reading the charge well about that Disney Afternoon
collection not being on switch and I'm like, huh, like,
where is this thing? And I just gave up. And
there's that wrote the Roosevelt clothes. They released a Mega
Man collection today. Yep, so I bought two.
Speaker 2: Overly expensive shirts and I'm very excited about it.
Speaker 3: My my Rocket Night Action figure is coming it tomorrow
and I could like swap out parts, so it's battle.
Speaker 2: You've heard everybody Mike amount hot.
Speaker 1: He says, twenty twenty six is the best year in
the history of America.
Speaker 3: No one was mad at me for moving a camera
too much or for this forgetting my European accents mixed up.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm doing great. H Yeah.
Speaker 1: I definitely saw those, both those news stories happening on
the same day, the Echo and the Disney Afternoon Club,
and I'm like, I'm gonna call him Mike and get
him on the show this morning, and you know, patch men,
and I forgot to do it till the end of
the show. That was too late, but I wish I
would have because it was like, oh yeah, these are
just Mikey stories, both those things. It's like, I know
where we did the Echo thing together, but you really
were always talking about the Disney Afternoon Club.
Speaker 2: Why is it?
Speaker 1: Why is it it on Switch? My hope is now
that that's happened, Symphony of the Night happens. I know
it's completely unrelated, but it's time put Symphony of the
Night on Nintendo Switch please switch.
Speaker 2: To Thank you, Mike.
Speaker 3: I had to get my backpack. This is the best
thing I ever got from like one of these Companies.
Was when this Disney Afternoon collection came out and they
sent me this Disney Afternoon backpack audio listeners. It's like
a backpack with the Disney Afternoon logo. It's got like
a screwge McDuck key chain and a ballue pin and
a darkwing duck pin and all sorts of just good
at you rescue rangers, all sorts of good stuff.
Speaker 2: This is the it's got the Capcom logo on it. Fantastic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the best thing I've ever been sent
by a video game pr company.
Speaker 2: I love this thing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I guess Tari must have been like, yeah, we can
make that happen. Now that we own youn have Digital Eclipse,
we will go through and see this thing through. So
that that was nice to see. I wonder if that
question comes to PC as well. Is it on PCs?
Speaker 3: Know where you played it? That's where you played it. Yes, Yeah,
it's been on everything else pretty much. Yeah, you know,
and it's great because, like you know, Ducktails one is
just like one of the best NES games, and then yes,
Docktails two and uh Chippin' Delt, who are also both
great and they were both very late anys games.
Speaker 2: They're very expensive.
Speaker 1: Fine, and of course you know, emulating these things not
a problem, but it's nice.
Speaker 2: To have them. Yep.

fun his mega man Roosevelt trits. They are very expensive,
a new tag line. All right, let's see here, Let's
get into the news after these messages.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into it. It's still game.
Speaker 1: Mess decides it's time for Resident Evil showcase reactions, so
let's see here. Thank you with Christian from Argentina for
writing down the news here. Showcase lasted about twelve minutes
where they showed a new gameplay footage from for both
Grace and Leon. Grace is all about sneaking around, as
we already knew. She can craft Healian items by extracting
samples from enemies. She has a big dumb gun Requiem.
Is it the gun called Requiem's.
Speaker 4: The gun is skull Requiem and he has like one
bullet or.
Speaker 1: Snake dumb and I like that it has very limited ammo.
Leon is all about that combat. He has a hatchet.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: The hatchet is for perrying, although it needs to be
sharpened from time to time.
Speaker 2: That is uh, I think that is exactly the case.
Speaker 1: I wonder if you you the sharpening stones are probably consumable, right,
that's probably Yeah, that.
Speaker 3: Works And like Resifour remake, and I think the basic
like you just had knives that would eventually break. So
here instead of the patchet like breaking, you have to
get a new hatchet. You just got to use an
item to sharpen the hatchet every once in a while.
It makes so, yeah, that makes sense because you know
you could probably so use it as a melia weapon.
But again it's gonna lose the sharpness. So like in
like are E four, I often wasn't using the knife
as a weapons. I was saving the sharpness for the parries.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Same, yeah, and that's expected to be pretty similar here
for the hatchet. Refined gunplay and melee interactions. Uh, they
do have Oh yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 4: Please, yes, let me explain a little bit.
Speaker 6: They show a lot of you know how I'm resident
before you can like shoot him the leg and they
go in their knees and you go close and you
kick him. Now he has like a bunch of like
environmental stuff going on. He seems like it because when
he was like close to a to a wall, when.
Speaker 2: You do that, he like.
Speaker 4: Stomps the guy against the wall and that type of stuff.
Speaker 1: Seems like there's a lot of context sensitive zombie deaths.
Speaker 2: It's like Fable three.
Speaker 1: It's I think, yeah, I think they're going to have
a lot, like you know, that's one direction they could
take this. This series is fun interactions between the characters
and the enemies and the environments, and really like let
that stuff escalate in a fun way if they can
all affect one another. It's like a lot of unpredictable,
unpredictable emergent zombie deaths could have and so I'm hoping,
I'm hopeful for that. Yes, new zombos. Some zombies retain
characteristics from when they were alive, meaning they move around
following a set pattern. So if you were an NPC
who is a you know, a doctor in a hospital,
you might be doing your rounds still or something like that.
I think that's just like give them a little bit
more of a clockwork like behavior so that the character
can player can interact with them.
Speaker 2: Speaking of clockwork, Sorry we're not there yet, No we're not.
You ruined it.
Speaker 1: The list confirmed three difficulty settings, Casual for people who
want the story story experience. Standard it's you know, regular,
and then Standard Classic with the return of ink ribbons.
Speaker 3: It's weird because they said e cribbage just when you're
playing as Grace, so you're playing as Leon.
Speaker 2: It's still just save whenever you want.
Speaker 1: I guess as there were incribbons and Resident Evil too, right,
they have incribbons through like a lot of those early games.
Speaker 2: So he's his game has ink ribbons? Does it really? God?
I forgot if it does? Wow?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think like five is the first one
where they're like, no, no more of that.
Speaker 2: But they're right, there's something to the ink, like in
for remake.
Speaker 3: They're definitely difficulty modes where you did you didn't have
to use the ink ribbons, or you could save as
much as you wanted it or something like that.
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, do.
Speaker 1: I get an ink ribbon with my purchase of a
Porsche Cayenne Mike Manati.
Speaker 2: You can't start saying Porsche that lets them win.
Speaker 1: Porsche is doing a collaboration with Resident Evil. They made
a big deal about it. They it was like treated
like a James Vond sort of collaboration.
Speaker 2: It's wild.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, but yeah four had typewriters but not ink ribbons.
But there's some difficulty that's right. Okay, some of the
difficulty modes it was to get the best writing. You
can only save so much, That's what I'm thinking of.
So there was some kind of weird saving thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
no ribbons.
Speaker 2: And then Hamilton watches are also a big part of this.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean what that means probably is there's gonna be
a car in the game and it's a Porsche, and
you're gonna, like, if the characters need to check the time.
I bet the shit, says Hamilton, and I bet it's
that saw them wearing their watches, and this stuff's real.
Speaker 2: You could go.
Speaker 3: Buy a resident evil Porsche, I guess, and you can
buy the two Hamilton watches, one for each of them.
Speaker 1: Sure, one of these days I'm going to buy one
of these things, like when a video game collaboration happens
with a car. One of these days, I'm gonna buy one,
because I always think it's so stupid.
Speaker 2: When I see like the.
Speaker 1: Call of Duty, a World at War Jeep or something
like that twenty years later, that's amazing to me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if it's not that Pikachu Volkswagen Beetle, I'm not interested.
Speaker 2: I understand.
Speaker 1: Uh, let's see here switch to pro controller. That's really
fucking ugly. I hate looking at that thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's again, like you're gonna make one of these
fits controllers do. Like, this is the one thing Startfield
did right. They designed the controller to look like controller.
They put art and stuff around, the various buttons and
analog sticks and things. They didn't just get a JPEG
PLoP it on there unless all.
Speaker 2: The fun actually might not cover it up.
Speaker 3: I just can't stand the way a lot of those
controllers look like so many controllers just do that.
Speaker 2: Like, it's not just the cheap third party stuff. It's
these it's Capcom trying to sell it. So it's probably
an eighty dollars controller or whatever these things cost. It
looks like shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's I think they're ninety. I think
the pro controller is ninety.
Speaker 2: Terrible. It looks terrible. You're right.
Speaker 1: But then there's figure are there figures and separately ambos?
Speaker 2: Yes, no ambos.
Speaker 6: It's just these They say that meals are coming.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, there's a grace is gang her own ambo?
My understanding is there's gonna be a lot of ambo
this year. There's like, that's what Nick over there at
Xbox Air was telling me on the Christmas episode, one
of his Nintendo rumors is there's gonna be a lot
of of Ambibo figures this year. So wouldn't surprise me
if they.
Speaker 5: Think.
Speaker 3: You think there's going to be a Smash Brothers because
that's like that's we got a ton of Abibo the
first time.
Speaker 2: Was because it's tied to Smash Brothers.
Speaker 1: It does kind of make me think that, but I mean,
you know, there also could just be run on. They
have an excess of plastic gett Nintendo and they had
to do something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if they're gonna do Grace, They're
gonna do Leon. There will be a Leon.
Speaker 6: A mebo that that new update for Animal Crossing is
like you can scan new Amibos to to get like
items and stuff.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And then Retinevels seven and Village are coming out the
same day as requien for Switch to Uh we we
we knew this, but it reminded me that I'm annoyed
they're not coming earlier, that we don't get to display
the thing yeah while we wait for this game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because like I've actually ever played through seven, and
like I don't know I might do that on my
stream at some point, but I would have liked to
have just done it in bed especially, you know, as
old as that games that would have run pretty well
on a switch to especially. It looks like eight and
nine or somehow also going to run well in there.
But yeah, it's annoying. That's literally the same day.
Speaker 1: And then everyone's wondering, what is alpis helpless? Yeah, Alpus
that seems to be the central mcguffin or whatever, the
thing that Leon needs to decode and figure out. Well,
Grace seems like she's just trying to survive, although I
bet she's the one that actually figures it out.
Speaker 2: That would be my guess. That would be crazy, that'd
be crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, they did confirm once again. I think
this is something we probably knew, but it just they
made it clear as day.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be swapping back and forth between the characters.
This is not a Chris campaign versus a Jill campaign.
This is just straight up one Well. I mean, they'll
probably have other modes or whatever, but the main thing
that they're pushing here is you start the game play
as one character, then the next chapter will be a
different character and they have very different gameplay, but they're
going back and forth and they seem to say, like,
this is about making sure you have cool pacing and
build up tension in one side and then release that
tension on the Leons side. And it's like, yeah, that
makes a lot of sense to me, release that tension
on Leon.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is them trying to make good on the
recinel seeks a fiasco thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, them having learned a lot of lessons since then, Yes, definitely.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know we saw that, like we knew
you could do this before, like oh, there's first and
third person uh cameras, and that doesn't just apply to Grace.
Leon could be first or third person. You can even
in the mid you specifically said it for like one
or the other. You don't like switch it back each
time you go from one campaign right first.
Speaker 1: So if you want Grace to be first person and
you want Leon to be third person, you could.
Speaker 2: Just say down the standard.
Speaker 3: Although it will be it will be kind of funny
to like be the Siko who's reverses it or like gosh, yeah,
I mean I'm down for this. I kind of really
like this marriage of the residue before remix stuff with
you know, very resident evil eight looking stuff with with grace.
You know, I think I never liked the whole Ethan
Winters thing.
Speaker 2: That's not silent protagonist, just a faceless protagonist for no reason.
He's got a name, he's got a voice. We're just
not allowed to know what he looks like for some reason.
Not just on his hands. His hands are fucked up. Yeah,
while they're attached. You can look at those.
Speaker 3: Yeah, huh, that was not like some was it like
some big like the downer problem with those games or anything.
Speaker 2: But I'm fine to move beyond Ethan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it's exciting to go to these characters in
my opinion.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah.
Speaker 1: It cames out February twenty seventh of this year. This
is in a matter of weeks. Yeah, just like a
month and some change.
Speaker 3: It's definitely the first really big release of the year,
and they kind of seem to like have that to themselves,
so I think it's safe to assume some big things here.
What is interesting is I think we always kind of
thought like we're gonna see more of this game of like, oh,
this this is how the game is actually kind of
like more open than we thought, and no, like we're
still mostly seeing like, okay, here's like a hospital area
and now here's this hotel, like you see a city
shit at one point, but there's like people walking around it.
It clearly looks like a prologue sort of thing, like
there's nothing here to make it seem like it's more
open than any of the other ones, which I'm frankly
a little happy about, but just seemed like from rumors
and just the way Capcom has been making a lot
of games recently, that we were kind of bracing for
something a bit more open.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know rumors even recently, like those rumors
go back a long way, but even like leading up
to this event, there were still like, oh, yeah, this
is where they're going to show.
Speaker 2: Off the open stuff.
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone at this point was still claiming
this was going to be an open world game, but
people were like, oh, this is where we will see
the open zone aspect of it, and no, that wasn't
even the case. That does not mean there isn't something
like that in the game, but we are past the
point where they can make it the focus like that
is not what this game is it's not an open
game in any way. It might just have a couple
of open areas, and that's very different.
Speaker 2: It'll have a desert connecting them. That's when you drive
the Porsche.
Speaker 1: That's where you drive the Porsh. Drive the Porsche through
some green crystals. Let's fucking go.
Speaker 2: Multiple.
Speaker 1: Echo the Dolphin games officially in development. Salamono at Gamatsu
had this story. Several new Echo the Dolphin products and
games are officially in development. Uh, this is a story
that like popped up a long time ago. I think
this is just kind of reappeared, but everyone got excited
about it again.
Speaker 3: It is whereas I got tagged when I got talking
like fifty times this this happened, which I liked, but
a part of me was like, did it this happened
a few months ago, like we knew about it.
Speaker 2: I think before the guy.
Speaker 3: Kind of just tweeted he was doing it. Right now
it's a bit more official. Yeah, Hey, I'm I wanted
to see Echo makes some kind of a comeback. I am,
to be clear, skeptical it's gonna take, but I'm glad
they're doing it anyways.
Speaker 1: Uh, this is the studios relatively new founded in California.
Speaker 2: This is yes Ed and.
Speaker 5: N Ziada.
Speaker 1: Ziada is home And to say it, yes Ednunziata is
the guy that worked on those Echo games back in
the day. Also did mister Bones is a mister Bones guy.
Oh yeah, he's back in that. This is his studio
and they're making They're apparently going to remaster the old
Echo Genesis games and then make a new game. And
I guess what do you expect that new game to be.
I don't expect three D. I think that's gonna be
wildly ambitious for the size of studio.
Speaker 2: I hope I want it, but I don't think it
will be like.
Speaker 3: I hope that it's, you know, kind of a two
D more Metroidvania East for sure, kind of dolphin game.
And maybe you either ease the breath stuff, which I
think through a lot of people off, or you kind
of dial that in a little bit. There have been
some sort of swimming Metrovillion games that have been kind
of good. I'd like to see that direction more than anything.
I just hope it's pretty.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I get so worried about the idea of this game
come out looking ugly because a big part of Echo's
appeal was that it was gorgeous and beautiful, Like these
games kind of need to look like like the Ori games.
To me, I don't want this coming out and looking
like one of those sort of cheap, you know, two
D games with all these bad looking three D assets,
like like that that Yards Revenge game, remember that New
Yards Revenge sequel. It cannot look like that. This has
gotta be a pretty pretty game.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: That Yards game surprisingly fun, but look look cheap. It
looked very cheap.
Speaker 2: Uh man.
Speaker 1: When you said the breath thing and Metroid Vana, it
did make me think like there is a way to
like make that work for me, and it's Steam World
Dig two. You just sort of like continue building up
your breath so you can go deeper and deeper eventually,
and that like it's kind of run based a little
bit not exactly run based, but that's kind of how
Steam World Dig two work to an extent. It's like, oh, yeah,
that would be excellent for eco and you get all
kinds of other upgrades that enable you to go faster
and go further.
Speaker 2: Yeah neat.
Speaker 3: And the tone is so important because like these games
took themselves very seriously, like you would go find a
whale in the whale would be like this super old sage, right,
there's no you know, there's no jokes or cuteness or
anything like that. This is all kind of scary and
weird as aliens involved. So I would be definitely curious
to see what the remakes look like first. And there's
some that's exciting too, because there are a lot of
rough edges to Dolphin that you can smove off with
some remax.
Speaker 2: For as much as I like it, those games are
very hard.
Speaker 3: They kind of have the not enough invisibility frame problem
when you when you get hit that a lot of
Western games just had back then. But there's so there's
so much about that game that's just needed, even as
the kids stood out to me at a time where
everything was you know, plays this animal with a cute face,
like just play as a dolphin and it looks like
a dolphin.
Speaker 2: Dolphin a shoot dolphin.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we're in sice, We're game the first one
and Ties of Time when I don't have nearly as
much exposure to Tides of Time oddly enough, so I'd
be really excited for.
Speaker 2: That Defender of the Future's Fender of the Future that's coming. Uh.
We talked about that game before.
Speaker 3: It's bit of moment, but it always blows my mind
because that game was reviewed so when for the Dreamcast
and now even like people when they talk about the
Dreamcast and all the great games where it don't talk
about Echo Defender of the Fun.
Speaker 2: They weren't really talking about it. At the time. It
was reviewers that liked it.
Speaker 3: It seemed like, yeah, yeah, just got been completely looked
over game.
Speaker 2: I need to go back and play some more of it.
Speaker 1: We talked about this, this is the Afternoon Collection coming
to Switch to and Switch. You know it's got the Chippendale, Chippindale,
Two Ducktails, Ducktails Too, Darkwing, Duck Tail Spin. All those
games are pretty good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of them are great, like Tail Spins.
The Week is it's just kind of an okay shum up.
Dark Wing Duck is basically a mega man, lots of
good stuff there. Ducktails and Ducktails Too are just these
fantastic two the platformers we have this Pogo mechanic. Chippindell
Rescue Rangers are these co op kind of action platforms,
a lot.
Speaker 2: Of pick stuff up and throw mechanics.
Speaker 3: So if you're like Mario two, I think you'll like
Rescue Rangers one and two. God, I love these games again,
Ducktails is just an all time They have some nice stuff.
I actually spend a lot of time with the Boss
Rush stuff and Ducktails trying to get a good board
time there, and that was a ton of fun. There's
a part of me that would that's like, you know,
a Doctail speed run is not very long. That would
be a fun one to learn good stuff that would
be that would feel super satisfying. You know if I
just have that game on my switch to you can
just play through to a bunch, get really familiar with it,
then do actual runs on some other setup. Yeah, super
excited that this is happening. Love love these games. Part
of me like almost wonders if they could do a
thing where they add some other weird stuff too, because
there are some sixteen bit games tied to the Disney Afternoon.
Speaker 2: There was a you guys were talking about Bonkers.
Speaker 3: There was a Bonkers game made by Konami that actually
kind of plays like their Busters just loose tiny tunes game. Yeah,
it has that running mechanic. There's a much worse Tailspin
game for the Genesis that I still want on there anyways.
And then there's that very good Capcom made goof Troop
co Op kind of Zelda like game where you're fighting
a bunch of pirates and one person this max one
person is Goofy. It's quite separately. They actually remade that
Gargoyles game not too long ago too, So there's been
a good amount of Disney Afternoon Love Actually.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh, I won't be shocked if they like
start mining the Disney Afternoon stuff here pretty soon for.
Speaker 2: Like bringing stuff back.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess they did a couple of years
ago with that Ducktails game or Ducktails Move show, I
should say, But it just feels that.
Speaker 3: Show is great, good.
Speaker 1: Oh my kids loved it and I was very happy
because I could get into it and it was amazing.
Speaker 3: And that show is almost kind of like a celebversion
of all things Disney Afternoon. Darkwing Duck is in that show.
A lot of tail Spin stuff is there, The Rescue
Rangers show up for a cameo, It's got me Bears references.
So that whole show was just one big, happy Disney
Afternoon love fest, and it was amazing for that.
Speaker 1: Man, How would you describe the difference between Looney Tunes
and Tiny Toon Adventures. Tiny Toon Adventures was more sitcom like,
like like it was like more about telling stories as
opposed to like these vignettes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like like Tiny Tuons actually had continuity, right, Yeah,
there's no continuity, and UN's like the whole thing was,
here are these characters and they're going to a school
and the teachers are the Looney Tunes, but like they
had like established relationships with each Like it wasn't some
episode where all of a sudden, it's just like they
are space troopers or something. Right, if they do, it's
like an imagination thing or whatever.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like Tiny Tunes like the show, like those
games a whole bunch. I've been meaning to go back
and play Buster Bus Loose for forever.
Speaker 3: I'm actually shocked we haven't had a Tiny twos collection
yet because those games, the two nys ones, which are
just like the best Mario three ripoffs you'll find on
the console, and then yet then there's this one of
that vein On Genesis, and then yet Buster busts Loose
and these are all Konami games.
Speaker 2: So good.
Speaker 3: There's a weird sports game for Genesis. Also that they've
never played that. Y yeah, I never played that one either,
but yeah, give it to me. I want it.
Speaker 1: Uh, there's that that peak quote. It's it's been kind
of saturated now I'm not gonna do it again, Christian,
But I don't know that the five bucks is eight bucks.
People got hung up on that. When we posted our
short It's like to be fair, it was seven ninety
nine and seven ninety nine.
Speaker 2: Is definitely five Bucks. I could see that. Yeah, while
people are arguing, like are they are? They like not
for me? Yes, space you can't for me.
Speaker 6: Actually that's that same person goes and buys like a
ten games at eight dollars.
Speaker 1: Or one drink from Starbucks, right, yeah, any five bucks
is how it's like the upper limit of one drink
from Starbucks and that today is like nine dollars.
Speaker 2: So yes, that's five dollars.
Speaker 1: Still all right, Prince Perchus stands the time remake could
be shadow dropped very soon.
Speaker 2: Did you did you get a chance to hear this
from this morning? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually actually caught up to last two episodes
of Game this morning this afternoon, so yes, I'm all
caught up, Jeff, don't worry, Okay.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, this is funny that someone went into the
like I guess, the website for the game, and they
data mind it and they found game release tomorrow dot
png and they found that I guess today does line
up with an earlier rumored that the game is going
to launch January sixteenth. Now, I don't think we got
any announcement today, So if the image goes up it
says game release tomorrow tomorrow, that doesn't make a ton
of sense. It could happen anytime, but right now it
feels like this is gonna be here very soon.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't feel it in my bones that the Prince
of Persa sends the time where you make a sapping tomorrow.
Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean much one of my bones. Oh
that's really they know how to create blood or is
that what they do? Yeah, that's what bones do. Bones
is where the blood is stored. That's morrow. Yeah, that's
what marrow is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what marrow is. I guess. I hope, I
hope it's here, and I hope it's good. This thing
has been obviously in Trouble development and Stands of Time
is one of the greats, one of the greats that
I that I have not played yet. I always sort
of feel bad about that. I've been meaning to get
Sands of Time. I've played it, but I'm not sure
played through it or played and like as much of
it as I should. So I want to do that,
And you know, if the remake is really good, I'd
like to do it there, but I'm kind of fully
prepared to just go back to the original.
Speaker 1: We'll see. Yeah, Love Love Love stands a time. This
was my like, hey, this is Prince Burush is great,
and then I'd be checking on the series here or
there afterwards. But Sants Time was always like the one
for me.
Speaker 3: It was like in that era, JEF, we were like
very tuned into like the like the early online stuff
in the magazines.
Speaker 2: Everyone loves says the time. There was so much respect
for that game. They got me to check it out.
Speaker 4: What's that none of the fun of the Two Thrones
or a Warrior.
Speaker 1: Within Nospe I disrespect the warrior with it. I think
that it was one thing kind of gets a good
amount of defense. These days, I feel like and I'm
not having it with that. I'm just not Yeah, I
just like, listen, if it was Rob Zombie instead of
God Smack, then we could start talking.
Speaker 3: But now, yeah, the whole weird like tonal shift that
games went through, like like like Jack to put off
a bit better, But even even then, I'm still a
little bit like and get a load of these fucking
try So.
Speaker 1: It would be one thing if those franchises were still ongoing,
like in a real way in this moment, because they
would be like, oh, remember that awkward time.
Speaker 2: It's kind of fun and cute to go back.
Speaker 1: But when it was like this is one of the
things they tried to keep themselves relevant, and it just
looks so desperate and stupid in hindsight. When these franchises
aren't ongoing, it's it's annoying.
Speaker 3: It's just like it was wild to see the industry
and tightly pivot to like what became the way games
mostly were throughout, like the entire Xbox three sixty generation, right,
like all that kind of angry bald guy games we
got for a long time with Her and Buddy was
suddenly just like this is what we're doing now.
Speaker 2: Yep. Everyone had to be bald and angry.
Speaker 1: Hey, Amazon unveil's first look at Sophie Turner as Laura Croft,
and she looks perfect.
Speaker 2: She looks great. Yeah, she looks like Laura Croft.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am getting into a tomb Raider mood man.
What does that mean?
Speaker 3: I think I want to play tomb Raider Legends? Oh okay,
sure like that? Trill g the kind of reboot trilogy
before the reboot Trilling think about I don't know. My
girlfriend likes tim Raider a lot too and brings it up.
And she she recently played through Mega Man two, So
part of me feels like I need to play a Yeah,
it's yeah, like she never implied that, But I still
think like I should play a tomb Raider game.
Speaker 2: Now, you're not wrong, You're not wrong. Yeah, I do
think at one point here, what's the one that people
don't like?
Speaker 3: Angel of Darkness? I bet, even though I bet that's
better than.
Speaker 1: Most Blake Club games, I bet someday that that shows
up on Blake Club.
Speaker 2: I yes, I could see that.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: And then Ryan Hurst is gonna be It's gonna be
Crados and the also Prime video on Amazon Prime Video.
Things kind of it's kind.
Speaker 3: Of interesting that that's gonna be an adaptation of the reboots, which, yes,
I feel like that's gonna miss some of its impact
for audiences who don't have the other part of the
story where he was, you know, the mean Greek god.
Speaker 2: Jersey guy for a while first.
Speaker 1: So that's why my assumption if I were making in
the show and the Marching Orders were based on the
very popular twenty eighteen game, I'd be like, okay, and
then my story would have a ton of flashbacks in it.
It would be a lot of flashbacks to him as
original Crados, setting up the thing that he is now
emotionally dealing with and the trauma that he's passed on
to his kid.
Speaker 2: Where did that come from? And here's the flashback that
shows that. And I bet that's exactly what they end
up doing. Either way.
Speaker 1: Guys, Beard looks exactly like fucking crazy. Oh yeah, it
looks like a great casting. It looks like amazing. Apparently
this is the guy who's the voice of thor Hanna Ragnarok.
So that's the kid in the Ragnrok the game. Yes,
so that's that's that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 3: I just wonder like, is there going to be a
normy problem people, you know, because like the Fallout show,
as all these people whod never played the games?
Speaker 2: People didn't play the games. They're like, who's this guy?
What do you mean?
Speaker 3: He's from Greek? He was the god of war? Aris
is the god of war? What is he aries? I'm right, you.
Speaker 2: Know, there's a lot of things that they're got to
be caught up on. Yep, yep, And I mean I
think that they can.
Speaker 1: They probably should do a lot of that stuff in
the short version of it, but flashbacks you don't need
to dwell on it.
Speaker 2: And there's not a lot of story to mine there.
Speaker 1: He is mad, covered in the ash of his family,
goes to kill gods, and it's like, yeah, just pick the
parts that you need to tell this story.
Speaker 2: I can see it.
Speaker 1: But you're right, they're gonna have to answer that stuff
otherwise it's gonna be kind of weird.
Speaker 2: I'd be Yeah, that does it for the news that
I have here.
Speaker 1: Why don't we take a break, we'll come back, we'll
get to the super chats, and we'll get on.
Speaker 2: With the rest of the show. Does that sound good?
That sounds fantastic. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: We are back. It's game has decides we're gonna read
some super chats. Mike manaughty please.
Speaker 3: Big frustrating sound says we should have saw this coming Deadpool,
and I assume they mean Deadpool and Marvel Arrival makes
a six to seven joke and calls Hawkeye Hawk to
uh but legit, there are lots of actual funny.
Speaker 2: Jobs to look.
Speaker 3: I gotta I'm gonna say it. I'm gonna say it,
the six seven things, but.
Speaker 2: Coming Hawk Eye Hawk, it is kind of.
Speaker 1: Fat incredible, that's amazing. I want I want Deadpool to
make cheesy six seven jokes.
Speaker 3: He's there for he's there. He's supposed to be Cridge everybody.
Yeah right, I'm.
Speaker 1: Getting the age to check out Marvel Rivals again, but
I kind of only want to do it at work,
so I'm getting paid to do it so I can.
Speaker 3: Justify Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure Yeah. I mean I
want to play his gambit. I always like playing a
gambit in video games. It's a cool video game character.
He's got the staff, he's got the cards, he's got
the swag like yeah, the drip.
Speaker 2: He's got all sorts of killing a great character.
Speaker 3: Big frushtrating sentence is miss community game of the year
last week I vote Sunderfolk.
Speaker 2: All right, oh yeah we played that game. That was
a good time.
Speaker 3: And then Dan, Yeah yeah, that was a good one.
I would have I would have liked to have played
some more, but just didn't get chance. If you, if
you have like a crew for that boy, I bet you.
Speaker 2: Have an amazing time there. Oh for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, lex Letty says, the fine people of Ireland disavow
mitche Tolkoto. You know Jan was on that quick Look.

Jan just agreed with me. No one's bad at jam.
Wow under the bus absolute so clickly there.
Speaker 1: Wow, just just do any well the first brown Fred
seas get under the.
Speaker 2: I didn't want to say.
Speaker 3: Wow, oh my god, it's the fifth time I've been
called racist today.
Speaker 2: Talking don't shoot him, he's Italian.
Speaker 3: Well the Taco bell On says Leon needs more pro
wrestling moves than Requiem. I felt the muscle, muscle buster
or the tiger driver ninety one? What moves would you
give him, Wines? I think that him and Grace should
be able to do a three D together.
Speaker 1: Right they do or he does a suplex, right is
that the only wrestling move.
Speaker 2: Does he do a Frankenstein? Um? Frank, I don't know
if he does a frank I want him to do.
You should do a d d T. He should definitely.
Speaker 3: T is like if I was if I had to
make a zombies head explode, I would go to the
d d T.
Speaker 2: That's it. Yeah, suplex is what he does.
Speaker 1: He doesn't right the Germans suplex right? I I would also.
I mean, let's just get him a cutter. Let him
just do the cutter. Let's get a diamond cutter.
Speaker 2: Pipically, the diamond cutter breaks the diamond the whole thing.
I like it. Uh ink.
Speaker 3: Gottle says, not sure Pocopia will be good, but Dragon
Quest Builders one is one of the best RPGs I played,
so I have to get it to it.
Speaker 2: What can mister mind teach my ditto? Nothing good, Nothing
that that diddle wants to learn or would be better off.
Speaker 1: Knowing nothing moral for sure. Uh, but it will be
about flipping tricks.
Speaker 2: I'll say it. Oh boy, That's what I'll learn turning tricks.
Do you flip the tricks? He turn out was?
Speaker 1: I was confused. It's turning tricks. If that's what you're
getting at. Okay, yeah, but that is accurate.
Speaker 2: You're right, that's exactly.
Speaker 6: He's already committing the biggest crime in humanity, which is
like mimic on our form.
Speaker 2: So like yes, right right, exactly. Identity theft. Yeah.
Speaker 1: God created us in his image and so ditto taking
on our image. Stealing our image is stealing God.
Speaker 3: Oh that's this is like the veggiet tails relationship with God.
Speaker 2: That is not going to heaven. Like that is just
flat out no way. That is not negotiable God.
Speaker 3: I should play drag quiest builders to I usually hear
more love for two.
Speaker 2: I need to check that game out some point. People
always talk about how great they are.
Speaker 1: I don't skip the big super chat from Andrew Panton Oh,
like I just did.
Speaker 3: Andrew Pton says, I'm hosting an event tonight, so sending
this early. I hope you all don't mind that. I
have two questions. Hey, if you tip it up that
you can fit in two questions, you're allowed to. Do
you think a company like Analog will ever make a
PS one or og xbox. Let's start there, Jeff, because
Analog did release that Turbo graphics with the CD thing,
so they've made a CD console and at that point,
I guess it's like, well, why not do a PS
one or you know, be Still My Heart a Sega Saturn.
Speaker 1: Right, I think, so what if they they've done in
sixty four and they did the game, the analog, the
game boy, I mean, they don't have a lot of
ground to go to.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I think they probably do try to do a PS one.
The problem is they're they're a little late to the
party just because that superstation is basically the same thing.
And he gets on Sega Saturn then so yeah, maybe,
I mean, and they've done the Mega Drive, you know,
the Mega whatever, the Genesis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so why not that would be cool?
Speaker 1: Although I do wonder if they're like, maybe that's something
where it's like, we try to make one of these
open FPGA one so.
Speaker 2: We can have multiple consoles on one of these devices.
Speaker 3: Maybe, like you think, I mean, if you just made
something that was this is going to play all your
Sega CD, Saturn and Dreamcast games, right boy, take my
money right exactly right there. And then the next part
here is will the price increase in PC components impact
the retro scene and then they add here fuck ice.
Speaker 2: Fuck yeah, hi boy.
Speaker 3: I sure, I mean yes, right, that's going to impact
the retro scene for sure.
Speaker 1: Shouts out to Andrew, who's got his own podcast, the
Regulation Podcast. He's been showing up a lot really recently.
We fuck with you man, Thanks for hanging out with dude.
We really appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, the PC component price increase is going
to impact the retro scene for sure, right.
Speaker 2: Uh, yes, yes, it's going to affect everything.
Speaker 1: It's going to be the kind of thing where, uh,
those devices, these retro devices use a lot of the
components that are off the shelf, and there will be
more demand on everything across the board. So yeah, and
that that market has already been getting hit hard on
tariffs and a number of other things. Like the demand
has already been tough on them. They are already having
an issue sourcing these products. So yeah, it's it's gonna
get worse. Things will probably slow down in a big
way this year. Maybe not for the Chinese handhelds. The
Chinese handholds always just kind of find a way, but
anything that's kind of being like the superstation, that thing,
I'd be so shocked if it's something similar to that happened,
Like the next step of that happened this year. We're
probably on these devices that we have for quite some time.
Speaker 3: Next up is from zombie porn. How far can we
legally have Jeff Grubb snatched? Like, wouldn't it be funny
if Dan just blindfold's Grub and leads him in like Memphis.
Speaker 2: Look, I want you guys to know that.
Speaker 3: In the lead up to the Pomethon the Grubs snatch
was a hotly debated topic to a point where I
was fighting, like, guys, we can't spend any more time
talking about Grub snatched.
Speaker 1: Yes, And it was like it was my idea. I
really just wanted to do some orienteering. That was the
whole idea. I'm like, can you please just drop me
in a field with a map and a compass and
I got to find my way back, And it just
became like we're gonna drive you down the street.
Speaker 2: A little bit. We look.
Speaker 3: It was like like, actually, it turns out there's a
lot of private property and oh yeah places around there.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was it wasn't gonna work the way we
wanted to do it originally, and yeah, but we uh,
we did something it was fun.
Speaker 2: It was still a good time. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So so no, I don't think we could grubs that
chip further over, not not where in that place.
Speaker 2: If we were to do it, you have to do
it like.
Speaker 1: In an actual like like National Park or something right,
something along those lines.
Speaker 3: I find if we were like if we were in
Disney World, there's a lot of distance at Disney World,
you can I could take you somewhere random a Disney World.
Speaker 2: You wouldn't know where you were.
Speaker 3: It would be fine to see you find me and
a nice safe environment that.
Speaker 2: That actually is not a bad idea. I would like that,
you get.
Speaker 3: It's like when the when fool House goes to Disney
World grubs that someone comes up to me, Uh, do
we hear you say grub snatch?
Speaker 2: Can you explain that to us? And then we're bad
from Disney? Yeah.
Speaker 3: I have to make sure you're not actually blindfolded, just
like put really dark sunglasses on you, because I can't.
I can't get in trouble. I can't be kicked out
at Disney No way.
Speaker 2: I would never do that to you.
Speaker 3: Lazy Stegasaurus, says Beef of cheddar Boys Live Show from
the World's largest Arby's in Virginia. When give the people
what they want, then there's a steak emoji, a cheese emoji, and.
Speaker 2: A hard emoji. God, where in Virginia is the largest Arby's?
Speaker 3: No, like, is this like the largest Arby's is kind
of mathematically or impressively because right right, I remember like
you're seeing pictures of the largest McDonald's back in the
day and thinking that it looked like a utopia.
Speaker 2: Like I placed, like definitely what it to be on
the on the drive when we were moving from Denver
to here.
Speaker 1: We found a McDonald's that was a castle and like
Indian yeah, and like that was cool? Uh, And I
wanted to be something along those lines. I wanted to
be visually distinct, not just in terms of its scale,
but of its of its size.
Speaker 2: All right, I found this.
Speaker 3: It's it's in Colonial Heights, and it is in fact
pretty big in there.
Speaker 1: Gosh, what what're like is what's Colonial heightsneers like Virginia
Beach or something or what Washington d.
Speaker 2: C Let me see it is I'm opening up a
map right now, Richmond, Virginia.
Speaker 3: No, this is just this is just directing me to
my RB's Actually I have a friend who's yeah, it's
it's in the Richmond area.
Speaker 2: Friend, not that far from there. It might just send
them out on some us.
Speaker 3: This picture makes it look like no, Okay, for a
moment there, I was worried that it was just one
of many stores inside of this one complex. No, it
even has the old RB sign. This must be an
old s Rby's. Yeah, they're something.
Speaker 2: It's Yeah, it's weird because they have like a a
Mexican barbecue section where you could just make case adillas.
Speaker 3: And stuff, and sometimes it's not open. It is weird looking.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: We got to go on a great giant bomb American
road trip, so yeah.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's the final destination. Is the world's larger.
Speaker 3: That'd be good, okay, h Pluffum says, or Pluffham says.
Who does captain revive for Ze nine? Wesker or Lady
d lad Straw. I mean there's already the lad d skin,
so it feels like, I don't know, I don't think
Lady of people.
Speaker 1: Show back up again, but not yet, not yet, I
agree Wesker boy, So okay, So like Westerer is in
the first game and then he very clearly died in
that one too, and then they just brought him back
anyways in uh freaking Coveronicas where we first saw him
that he's briefly in four.
Speaker 3: Then five, he's like the big Bat again and he
super dies in that one, to the point where like
in look it's Resident Evil, there's zombies and there's all
kind of bullshit science and one that they could bring
him back, I guess I would personally not like it. Uh,
I like Wesker. Fine, I'm a little over. I don't
think he's like again and dwarf tear villain that like,
I can't imagine the series without Wesker. Well, no, I
can't imagine this one thing. But like, I would think
it's fun if he came back. I like my Resident
Evil dumb and uh that's that would be pretty dumb.
So I get why it would bother you, But I yeah,
bring it back Wesker Lady d At least there's kind
of wasted potential because they sort of didn't realize what
they had and they're like, she's one of like three
lesser bosses before the final Boss and now she's the
only character from that game people remember. People really liked her,
like her. They liked her sexually.
Speaker 1: You see, I thought I thought she was big and
tall and should step on things that are on my body, right.
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: Next up here is from T Bucket. Excuse me, h,
T Bucket, I forgot. I also skipped some one from Dark
Steel Brush Brushwag. We're gonna do that first. Have you
guys ever been to a Bucky's. See what the kind
of place you too would appreciate. I went to Bend
one last year. It was incredible, so good, I can't wait. Yeah,
this is a gas station chain where the inside is
just a megoppol is. There's just tons of stores and
stations of people preparing fresh foods.
Speaker 2: The big thing there.
Speaker 3: They're barbecue sandwiches, chopped beef and stuff like that, brisket
or ham, very good. They have these snacks called like
bucket balls, or they're beaver nuggets. Beaver nuggets basically kind
of like corn pops, very similar texture and flavor, but
they're incredible.
Speaker 2: Just all sorts of things.
Speaker 3: That you can buy and indulge in in there, and
it's always like very well kept and clean things like that.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: That's the thing is, like my understanding is like what
really The whole strategy behind it was make it so
big and then make the bathrooms so big and clean,
and then also keep heart don't allow truck drivers. Truck
drivers have to go to a different gas station. BUCkies
does not service truck drivers. Apparently that's interesting because I
also like love and Loves. It's very clean, but it's
incredibly truck driver centric. Like they have showers and they're like,
you know, like, hey, like you could like shower in
here and eat and get all of your truck supplies
and stuff like that, and the other people are welcome
to and I like going in there. But yeah, BUCkies
is clearly for like the family, it's clearly for the
woman in the car that wants a clean place to
go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2: Like that's what, that's what. That was the strategy.
Speaker 1: And it's like, oh and then they put all this
other stuff around it, so everyone's excited to go there
and spend all this money.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, I kind of really think that's a
lot of fun. Yeah, it'ses that.
Speaker 1: No, just move on to just let him know you
go out, go ahead and move on, Mike.
Speaker 2: I like BUCkies.
Speaker 3: Now let's go to uh T Bucket it says Sgress
some mic for sling the demon that was Larry love Itch. Yeah,
I never want to see that fucker again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the worst.
Speaker 1: That's the only game that character's in, right, I got
it better be Oh well, he well he was also
in a college one.
Speaker 3: That's that same guy. He looks an acts and sounds
completely different. Okay, yeah, but that's him in the college
game as well. But he's like, well, the only other
two after that are the uh what dreams die try twice?
Well try choice is the sequels, Like there's a duology.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, so there you go. It's that.
Speaker 3: Eggie says, Well, Capcom ever make another Mega man X game.
I'm surprised it's been so long that Roosevelt collection. One
of the shirts is a Mega man X shirt, honestly
the best one, one of like the blueprints.
Speaker 2: I got some point they got to go back to that.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm a little surprised that it is once again
going straight back to classic Mega man with this new one.
Speaker 2: I'm happy.
Speaker 3: I always like classic Mega man the best, so it's
fine by me. I'm a little surprised that they've been
leaving so much Mega man X potential out there.
Speaker 1: I'm going to play Mega man X this year. I've
tried a bunch of times and I just like, play
a couple like a couple of minutes and like it's
not clicking, and I'll boot something else up in the emulator.
I'm gonna sit down and I'm gonna play it for
at least a couple of hours so I can really
grock at this time. And everyone just seemed like one
of the best Super Nintendo games, and I'm was like, oh,
it is, Okay, I need to see that for myself.
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bossar is a little important there, at least the
first one. You always got to make sure you do
chillpeng Win first.
Speaker 2: That's Chill Penguin first.
Speaker 3: Okay, I think I do Chill pang Win first. Yeah,
it's incredible. Next up is from Corono. Rickho has been
a Lincoln member for forty five months. Thank you so much.
Do you think they will get any character collapse or
echo like the Dolphin from Sequest or Flipper? Low can't
wait to finally Playfacive and remake next week. Oh yeah,
the switch to version of that's coming out. Boy Flipper
has just fallen off. I felt like Flipper was kind
of a big deal. Still was a huge deal with
you had that movie with Elijah Wood, and I watched
the old show, right was an old show?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think the whole thing with Flipper was
just Assi was popular, so let's do Nassy, but with
a dolphin.
Speaker 2: That's all Flipper is, right, better, it's better. I like it.
I like the dolphins are better than dogs. They are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I watched uh, I watched a lot of
Flipper and last he was fine, but Flipper was fantastic.
Speaker 2: You know, it was a big It was a big
century for dolphins. Last century. It's tides for you know,
the probably thousands of them we killed.
Speaker 1: Yes, right, other than the genocide we performed upon their speech.
Speaker 2: It's a great year. We loved those fuckers.
Speaker 1: I would also like some Free Willy representation here, we
can maybe get some fun.
Speaker 2: That's another one, boy. Yeah, a movie with.
Speaker 1: A generic Elijah Wood, right, that was just an Elijah
Wood stand in that was not Elijah Wood.
Speaker 2: But yeah, Free Wood was huge.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Free Willy two, I still like that, And I think
Free Willy three was just directed video. No one cared
anymore even at that point, which is why because like
Free Willy kind of it was doing the whole anti
SeaWorld thing before that was like popular.
Speaker 2: Even I feel like, uh, before we knew I for
free Like.
Speaker 3: I think at the time, people are like, oh, the
Shamboo lakes sit there, what is he doing?
Speaker 2: We feed him?
Speaker 3: That was back when Shammy was literally swimming around a kidpool.
You're see like Shamboo's first take, it's not good, it's.
Speaker 1: Not good, it's like and that's that's what radicalized Shamou.
And then now now those fucking fish attack.
Speaker 2: Boats when they see it.
Speaker 1: God, uh yeah, I wonder if they'll ever do you
think with Flipper or Free Willy again in our life times?
I don't know, Yeah, I probably, but it's I think
part of the charm was it's like, look, we're doing
this with live animals, and now it's like really hard
to don't ethically with you just.
Speaker 2: Make it with bad CG. And most people make BADG
and that's like with A they're gonna make it with Yeah,
never mind, back on.
Speaker 3: But there were animatronics involved in Free Willy for sure. Yeah,
there was definitely a robot fucking killer whale that was in,
especially the scene where it was in like the truck
and they were like hosing it down while they transferred it.
Uh gosh, now I'm thinking about Free Willy a ton
that was. I know that's Warner Brothers because I remember
going to a Warner Brothers store at a mall in
Cleveland and it was like a trailer for Free Willy
Too was playing on like the big TV, which back
then you just literally had to.
Speaker 1: Get like, yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about.
I could see that perfectly in my head.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't know why, but like my like
part of my soul is still that Warner Brothers company
store with the Bugs Buddy statue where he's wearing a
suit classy Bugs Buddy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's like always like a vault that they make it
look like you're going because it's so exclusive and nice.
Speaker 2: And free Will. In a long time, I think I
might Free Willy. Free WILLI films afore filmed before. This
would be amazing. I mean, it's just you and me.
I'm down, let's just do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if no one else wants to partake in this
classic with us.
Speaker 2: The people don't know about Free Willing, damn it. They
need to know about Free Willy. That was so important
when I was a kid. What's so important now? It's
like it never happened.
Speaker 1: I don't remember if I watched Free Willy too. I
probably did, but I don't know. It's not Yeah, it's
not that good.
Speaker 2: Because they're fucking free a. Yeah, we already free the
Willie because you know what I think. I think. I
think it's a taker's spill. Is the plot line?
Speaker 1: That's okay, that's natural place you cay?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Why am I popping myself so much? I can't
move on? I'm gonna watch it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do Sea Creatures Sunday. I'm not going to
watch Free Willy and Flipper? Am I so obsessed with
sea mamble? They're crazy? They're they're mammals, but they swim around.
Speaker 2: What happened there? They're there? It's kind of stupid. We're God,
we're on the land now.
Speaker 1: We walked out of it, And did you guys walk
back or just slid off at a different time?
Speaker 2: It's crazy you do. Next up here is from Fresh
thirty seven.
Speaker 3: What do you think Third Eye Blind thinks of the
Sophie Turner Laura Croft pick.
Speaker 1: I know I know Sophie Turner I know Laura Croft
and I know Third Eye Blind the connection. I'm not
following this. So did the guy from did he date
he seems kind of old to date Sophie Turner. I
don't know, so I bet he thinks great things about it.
Speaker 3: Let me think Third Eye by tomb Raider, did they
like do a song for one of the movies or something?
Speaker 2: That's possible. I guess it'd be weird.
Speaker 4: They did that song for the second one with.
Speaker 1: Butler the Cradle of Life. Yes, Sophie Turner definitely is
married to a Jonas brother.
Speaker 2: I guess. I don't know if she still is.
Speaker 3: But Garspit told the story Third Eye Bye played an
E three party and interrupted semi Charmed Life to yell
about wanting to uh have relations with Laura Cross.
Speaker 2: That's right, I remember this. That's the that's a great story.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Third Eyeline's weird, kind of like him.
Speaker 3: Brono Trigger says, how are we feeling about Felony taking
over Lucasim you're not a big fan of him, right?
I think you said, get that cowboy looking motherfucker out
of here before I get him.
Speaker 2: He's uh, I'm not I don't feel great about it.
Speaker 1: I like big butts, and I cannot I don't know
why I started saying it that way, and I couldn't
stop myself from finishing the sentence that way. I think
Clone Wars is okay and then often is really good
and then a lot of times pretty bad.
Speaker 2: Rebel's pretty good.
Speaker 1: All of his live action stuff has been really questionable.
And I'm not excited at all about Mandalorian and Grogu
the fucking movie.
Speaker 2: What is happening there?
Speaker 4: You still wear the hat.
Speaker 2: He's definitely still wearing that thing.
Speaker 1: His whole thing is he's the most guilty of I'm
my movie is bashing these characters.
Speaker 2: That these are toys together.
Speaker 1: I have this toy and I have that toy, and
I'm gonna bash them together there and they're gonna look,
these two are meeting.
Speaker 2: Can you believe it?
Speaker 1: And uh, I just I think that's a pretty low
form of Star Wars. But whatever I got and or whatever,
I'm good for the rest of my life. If it's
never good again.
Speaker 2: I don't I don't really have much of an opinion.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fine, and it's not gonna be like it's
not like it's been great under Kathleen Kennedy.
Speaker 2: Right exactly.
Speaker 3: That's why I'm not gonna you see like the weird
like Galaxies Edge, the theme parks off only Disneyland. It's
like turning like most of it timeline wise into the
original trilogy now instead.
Speaker 4: They can't do it, but they said they were. I
saw that.
Speaker 6: I saw that video and they said that they were
now like doing it. It was just like I said, timeline,
isn't it?
Speaker 3: Well, I was the original idea, But that was also
when the set timeline was the sequel trilogy, when only
episode seven had to come out, and they had a
lot of hopes and dreams for how people are gonna
feel about that thing.
Speaker 1: Once that was done, a pretty okay time to like
be a Star Wars fan, and that's been kind of
terrible since.
Speaker 3: So yeah, So it's because it doesn't really impact the rides,
like the the the line of Falcon Ride was just
getting it.
Speaker 2: King ride.
Speaker 3: The We're always doing that to give it Mandalorian stuff,
but as resistance, that whole area is still supposed to
be sequel trilogy for now.
Speaker 2: I think I could very easy.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's I don't think someday it'd be
too hard for them to swap out a Kylo Ren
robot for a dar Vader robot and whatever, those.
Speaker 2: Big those big walkers for an Ata T. It's it
wouldn't take much.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it would take like one big REFERB and at
some point you got a big do a big refer
but on the right. Anyways, Like, I don't think it's
even like, you know, the next five years or maybe
next ten years, but I bet someday, someday that's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: Uh. Next up is from Dose of Nostalgia is Giant B.
I'm doing a Fantasy Critic draft this year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so back ours out tomorrow, So we
can't do it this on Professional Friday, but I think
we want to do it the next un professional Friday.
It didn't mind putting it off because it's not really
any big releases yet that we're missing out on getting
to pick up.
Speaker 2: So it should be fine. It should be all of us,
and that means like Sean and Chuck, So yeah, five
of us and Shawn and Chuck. The Dupiest Food says,
does Nintendo have the balls to sell me a USB
sensor bar and switch to Wei modes for WE Virtual
Console because I hope so, I mean, some day there's
gonna have.
Speaker 1: I mean, my opinion on this is, and I bet
it's a bad one that Nintendo won't do, but a
WE many and it's just a self contained WE like
on a almost on it like an Hdmi stick and
you plug that in the back of your TV and
then the rest of the shit just happens on the
controller and and yeah, you just kind of it comes
with WE Sports and a few other games and that's it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's what I would almost rather have,
like at least for me, like the number of like
games you need on there. Like part of me is like,
is Nintendo gonna really get all the games I want
on there? They're gonna make sure that Zach and Wicki
and Boom Blocks are on there.
Speaker 2: No, they might make sure that.
Speaker 3: Carnival Games is on there, and even then maybe not
that it'll just be all their first parties, which a
lot of it is good, but I don't know, I
don't know what I would expect from them there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, instead just make a thing that they could sell
to old people.
Speaker 2: Again, they'll do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not for a while yet. Though, and then that's it.
That's if it's super chats for now. Thank you all
so much.
Speaker 2: If you want to send it anymore, we will read
them before the end of the show. Thank you everyone.
Speaker 1: All right, we are going to take a break and
we come back and it's mess up a guest time,
So we'll get all set up for.
Speaker 2: That and be back in just a few moments.
Speaker 1: We're back more decides Jeff Grubb, Mike Minati. We got
Turbo Sean helping out, helping us out with a mess
of a guest Sean, take it away.
Speaker 5: That's all right, Like you said, Jeff, it is back
our friend Dean charged Wolf. But thank you much for
us every quarter. Thanks again.
Speaker 2: Wolf.
Speaker 5: We're putting together the twenty twenty five Q four results,
and that means the twenty twenty five results as a
year or five only get a winner. And now we
do a yearly winners for this little game we do here,
and after that we will do some twenty twenty six
predictions for the first quarter. So no further Ado. Let
me run down the rules for everyone, because it's been
a little while, so the game mess both the boys
here and the community. All right, we're giving a list
of seventeen different games coming out in the fourth quarter
twenty twenty five. You had to predict their open Craig score.
Your score, the points you get is the term or no,
it's score is a termed by a top Craick average
on open Crack. And then your score, your points is
whoever it gets closest to the final score got one point.
If you get the score exactly right, you get two points.
You didn't think a game would come out by the
end of the fourth quarter, you'd say, well, not release
to get the double points. Also, no more playing Haitis
two during Messo guests Mike, it makes Wolfe sad frownie.
Speaker 2: Thing I did. I don't ever.
Speaker 3: Problem you defames apologize. The last time I did that
was when the show was new, and I would still
play World of Warcraft during it.
Speaker 4: Oh, no, listen to me.
Speaker 6: You were doing we were doing You were doing the
stream on John boone when eighty two came out, when
we did the other that's what happened.
Speaker 3: Oh when I was doing that, Well that that was work.
Speaker 2: You make it clear. I don't care that you did that. Mike.
Speaker 5: Wow, he didn't care about the frying face anyway. Let's
get into the results here. So Jeff went first here
in game number one, it was Battlefield six. Jeff, you
predicted eighty five, Mike predicted eighty four. Mike was good
to go under there because it came out to eighty three.
So nicely done, Mike, get a point there, and I'll.
Speaker 2: Make it up on Metroit Prime four. I'm sure.
Speaker 5: In the community show, I was to Wiezeman, Rob Foster,
Johnny Boy, and Luis Garcia. Well got exactly right. As always,
I will shout out the community winners if there's only
a handful, but there's a lot of them for a
particular reason, I will just summarize instead, all right. Yeah,
Number two was Little Nightmares three, Mike going first year.
Because we do a snake style prediction, Mike predicted eighty three,
Jeff predicted eighty two, and Jeff got this one because
it came out to seventy one.
Speaker 2: We believe this one.
Speaker 1: I had a pretty good idea that this one was
going to be under, so I was very happy went.
Speaker 2: High on this one. Yeah, I think I had no
idea about this series.
Speaker 1: It was a different developer, and I'm like, right, I bet,
and I went I went under.
Speaker 2: It was Yeah, it was an easy one, thank you.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I remember when we did our Fancy Creek at
a Giant Bomb for this or for the year, and
I counterpicked this one. I was a little worried, and
Tam made me breathe a sigh relief because when he
told me about the development stuff, I was like, Oh, crap,
this one might be really bad or then okay. And
then shout outs to Chaz in the community who got
the point there game Mber three Pokemon Legends z A.
Jeff you said eighty three, Mike was a little more
optimistic with eighty four. It did land just a little
bit lower than that it was at seventy nine, So Jeff,
you get the point there.
Speaker 1: Did we use any of our research on this to
see what Pokemon Legends the first one did.
Speaker 2: I can't remember if that's.
Speaker 5: What that sounds right. I feel like you looked up
with Archaia Scott. I think I yah, yeah, because Archis
was a very divisive game.
Speaker 2: This is bs. This game should have done better than
a seventy nine, not that much better, but a little better.
Speaker 3: Probably should have still lost, to be clear, but a
seventy nine, come on, I.
Speaker 5: Think people were still feeling a little burned after Scarlet
Violencer being more critical of Pokemon, even though da it's
a good game.
Speaker 2: Game. I did research that one real quick.
Speaker 5: Sorry, Yeah, okay, sounds a right game. Nar four was keeper.
Mike went first, You predicted eighty three, and then Jeff
took the over with eighty four. It was eighty one,
so Mike gets the point there, and Durachi low Rule
and mose Garcia got point in the community for game
exactly right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this seems about right.
Speaker 3: Honestly, if you had told me that this game end
up in the seventies, it just didn't seem like it
got talked about a whole lot.
Speaker 2: I feel the opposite.
Speaker 1: I feel like every time I hear anyone talk about this,
it's it's oh, this is one of the best games,
and I'm just like, I didn't.
Speaker 2: Get it when I played it. I need to play
it again. I guess this is Yes, it seems a
little quiet to me, but I'll take the point. Hoorray.
Speaker 5: Game number five, Ninja guid In four. Jeff went first,
saying eighty four. I might decide to not do the
one point thing this time, and went with eighty six.
I rockly it was two points in the opposite direction.
Mike it was eighty two. So Jeff gets the point there,
and then Durrachi and Villain Mack both got exactly right.
Speaker 2: Here's what I'm learning.
Speaker 3: We get yelled at a lot when we just kind
of guess right around eighty. But boy, lot of the
games come in right around an eighty ye, so I
kind of have all of them been right around.
Speaker 2: There so far except for Little Night Verse three dressing
like seventy.
Speaker 5: It's a running theme of modern games media because a
lot of games are very good to great. So yeah,
they do land in the upper seventies to lower eighties.
It you know it checks out, I'll plans. Game number
six was Jurassic World Evolution three. Mike went first with
seventy nine. Jeff was less optimistic at seventy eight, but
he shit have been more optimistic. It was eighty four.
The congrats Mike Frigeting a point, and congrats to like
A Dylan Ska, Luigi and Mitchipoo for gain points.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 3: Here's a game with a really good average critics score
that I feel like no one talked about this year.
I'n't even tried this one out myself, and I did
pick it up on my Fantasy Critic and it helped
me there someday out to go back to this and
check it out because I liked the first dressic word evolution.
I never even got to the second one and was
surprised they're even making a third one.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I really regret going under on this one.
Speaker 1: I think this is one where I just assumed it
was gonna be another one where it's like, Ah, this
one's gonna have diminishing returns.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh no, they actually just refined it.
Speaker 5: What type of game is this? Is this the one?
Speaker 3: It's like a park sim Yeah, park simulation, heavy on
the simulation. You like, are breeding dinosaurs and you have
to worry about the safety protocols of everything.
Speaker 2: Stuff like that. Oh interesting, And it's Frontier Developments people
who make Planet Coaster, gotcha.
Speaker 5: Given over seven Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines to anything could
have happened on this one. Jeff, you went first with seventy,
Mike went over with seventy one. Unfortunately, this one landed
at sixty three overall on Open Critics, So Jeff, you
get one point. As does Duel thirty four.
Speaker 2: Boy, all that all that time waiting for this thing
to drop, and then it just it sure did drop. Huh. Yeah.
Speaker 1: My hunch is there's probably still something in this game
that's like worth exploring if you can have a lot
of patience for what sounds like a lot of bullshit.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm ever gonna see that personally though.
Speaker 5: Game number eight, Once upon a Katamari. Mike went first,
saying eighty. Jeff went with eighty one, and Jeff, you
were exactly right. It was eighty one. Yay, hip it
peay point billan Mack in November in the community, both
also got exactly correct, So congrats all around.
Speaker 3: Okay, so Jeff's at six and I'm at three now
Jeff starting to get is even there.
Speaker 2: But that's a big one for you point out a little.
Speaker 1: This is game eight, but I think there's probably quite
a few games left, so let me see how I
blow it this time.
Speaker 5: There's a handful here, there's a handful. This one. We
are roughly halfway, so thank you for a summary there, Mike.
Game number nine was The Outer Worlds Too Deaf went
first at eighty five. Mike then said eighty four. It
went down one more in that it was eighty three overall,
so Mike gets the point. Then Low Rule and First
Avenger both got exactly right.
Speaker 1: In the community, I'm never guessed eighty five when I
go first ever again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't see a lot of eighty fives. Nope.
Oh okay, man, it's so close to just being just
being there right on the money there, gosh.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But like this at a vout, they just both seen
they both received just a little bit less than I
would have expected, just to smidge less.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this is one that, uh, it's going
to be due for a really fast reappraisal. I think
people are going to come back around to this one,
mostly just because it feels like barely anyone even played it, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll.
Speaker 5: See game number ten Mena the hollower. Mike, you went first,
you said eighty seven death, then said eighty eight, and
the points go to nobody. That game still isn't at
This was supposed to be Halloween, right, It wasn't Halloween week.
It was on Halloween.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's right, yeah, Halloween.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and we have no idea where it went, which
is very bizarre.
Speaker 3: I think at first they were like, it's still coming
out this year, and then that clearly didn't happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, then it's indefinite. Two years in a row. I
had this in my Fantasy Critic and it just didn't
come out. Last time. I was like, well, truly don't
come out this year. Let's see if I burn myself again.
Speaker 1: Really good job by Tommy Pencil saying this game wouldn't
come out though, Yeah, really good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this out well knows Tommy Pencils would not release,
so it gets the point. But also Tommy Pencil's strategy
is he says every game won't release, every single.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Sometimes do not praise him. I gotta love that.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, Game number eleven, Terminator two D No Fate. Jeff,
you went first with seventy six, Mike then did the
two point thing there with seventy eight. Well, it was
right at seventy six. The Congress to Jeff, and also
in the community Matt Raremunkey streaming men and shremp All
predicted seventy six as well.
Speaker 1: I man, you would have asked me if I gave
if I said this was going to get a seventy six,
I'd be like, no way, I would have been like
an eighty eighty two something like that. I don't know
where that came from.
Speaker 2: Pure luck.
Speaker 3: It was smart. Yeah, it seems like this game just
was like fine but not very substantial. So yeah, this
is one though.
Speaker 5: Right makes me scratch my head a little bit. It
does seem like a lot of the criticism is like
it is short, like those old Justices games. I'm like
supposed to be one of those old Jesses games.
Speaker 2: I think it's like the price. The price I think
kind of threw people off.
Speaker 5: Yes, that that's I still think that's a weird one,
because like, all right, I'll just tough, I'll play it,
wins ten bucks whatever. But yeah, I get factoring that
into the reviews.
Speaker 1: I do, well, I need to play this game because
I heard I've heard a lot of good things.
Speaker 5: It looks great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks really good.
Speaker 5: Game number twelve, High Rule Warriors, Age of Imprisonment. Mike
went first, here you said seventy nine. Death then said
eighty and Mike, congratulations, you got this one. Ryan the nose,
it was seventy nine. You get the two points. They're
do screaming men and first Avenger.
Speaker 2: Back in the game. Needed that. I needed that big time.
Speaker 3: But you can always count on these on these games,
getting like a seventy nine, right right, it's always there.
Speaker 5: I'm usually a little bit lower. But I think Jeff
was right to think that these are on a slight
upward trend, these specialized ones.
Speaker 1: I think I was like, I think I wanted to say,
seventy nine, darned you for taking it.
Speaker 2: That sounds like what happened here.
Speaker 5: That's right, Game number thirteen luminess arise. Jeff went first
with ninety. Mike was like, there's no way it's going
to be in in the ninety. Still, you went with
eighty nine, and that was what r I call it.
It was an eighty six. The mic is the point there,
as does a nuclear lamb. D Man Louis Garcia all
gained two points for the correct predictions.
Speaker 3: Jeff must have been tripping on whatever the people who
make lumins trip on drugs.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's like, still very strong score though, Yeah, yeah,
that's really good, Yeah, very good. I didn't notice there's
quite a few of four out of fives seeming to
pop up here. I'm like, ah, more and more and more.
Al Let's doing the five stars scale is.
Speaker 3: Maybe he is a big reason why you probably things
seem to be rounding certain ways more than ever.
Speaker 2: Now interesting, Yeah, okay.
Speaker 5: All right, next step, oh boy. Game number fourteen is
Call of Duty Black Ops seven. Now, you guys are
right to be pessimistic here, not half high hopes. Mike,
you said seventy seven. Then Jeff is like, eh, it's
called dude, you'll probably do a little bit ver seventy eight,
sixty six, let's six on hoping critic. The mic is
the point there, and then the community. I'm a little
surprised at this one, but congratulations ninten Derek got it
with sixty five.
Speaker 3: Wow, man, John Derek, I've tied it up eight and eight. Again,
let's go as a very uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're not kind of my guaranteed win for
Metroid Prime.
Speaker 2: That got that in the bag. You probably also have
recipated Metroid Prime. Well, oh for some people.
Speaker 5: Game number fifteen was Kirby Air Riders Death. You said eighty.
Mike was like them, they're sickos, they're gonna love it
more eighty one, and Mike, you got it. It was
eighty two, So you're right there, right there.
Speaker 2: One I felt I felt good.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people would have gone under
there for Kirby, I righted. I think that was a
very brave thing I did.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of.
Speaker 5: Pews that seems safe. I can't remember exactly when we did,
but if it was after even the first preview, I
would have been like, yes, it's like a seven out
of ten maybe so yeah, uh, Game over sixteen Octopath
Traveler zero, Mike, you said eighty five on this one.
Jeff took the under a eighty four, which was the
right move, came in an eighty three. So you're very close.
They're very close. And then Damie h Zuel and Nuclear
Lamb all got exactly right in the community.
Speaker 2: I tell you what, We're close. We're close on a
lot of these.
Speaker 1: Jeff, Yeah, yeah, I mean between the two of us,
it's like we're always right there, like it's uh, it's always.
I always feel pretty good about our guest seing abilities
after we get through one of these.
Speaker 5: Yeah, about are largely you are tied nine points a pop.
But we have one more game. Ah fuck, the last
game here, And here's the thing, I'm not even gonna
pull it up just yet, because game number seventeen is
Metro Prime four. You guys each remember what you said.
Speaker 2: I think I said ninety six or ninety seven.
Speaker 3: Mike, I probably would have said like a ninety two
more reasons you definitely went under.
Speaker 2: I went super high.
Speaker 5: And yes, Jeff did say ninety six, and Mike more
reasonably went ninety three.
Speaker 1: I said, I am choosing to go bold and to believe,
and just like always Droid Prime Fox me over.
Speaker 2: I want to know.
Speaker 3: There's no chance that Dan told you we gave it
a five already at this point out of five.
Speaker 5: We even had it. Yeah, we did before.
Speaker 1: We were so we were kids back then. Man, we
were so innocent. We just didn't We didn't know, asshole.
Speaker 5: Everyone pointed out, Jeff, that's like the score of the
first one. Guy, you think there's she seemed to believe
in love, assue me. Oh my goodness, yeah, very like. Look,
I I know I said, Uh what I said, Archaeus
was a bit of a divisive game earlier in the show.
I meant like divisive as in like sevens and eights. No,
this one was all over the goddamn place.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 5: There was like it's so interesting, you know, because it's
like there's huge, huge outliers with this game on either side,
but a lot of scores did actually just Land an eight.
Everyone's like, it's very good, sows it goes the other ones,
but it's pretty good. So they did. Land had an
eighty one. If I didn't say.
Speaker 3: The funny thing is that Jeff and I both think
this eighty one is them kind of getting away with
a little bit.
Speaker 2: We really think they're lucky for it.
Speaker 5: In the community, sand Pest was the closest with eighty five.
Almost everyone else predicted in the nineties, and we were just.
Speaker 1: So people know on Metacritics that we use open critic
on Metacritic, this game has a seventy eight.
Speaker 5: Not that much lower, not that much of difference.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay man, that's you know, seventy eight for this
it's uh, that is I think lower than Metro Prime
pinball rightfully, so you pinball.
Speaker 5: Rules, yeah, video games, that's fair yep, alrighty well, the
final tally is here, then further.
Speaker 2: Liter it doesn't seem necessary. It's about that. That's about
the journey. We changed the rules like you requested after
I went lest familiar. This is libel.
Speaker 5: I think Libel right here, after telling all the points
for each quarter. The final score for a mess of
a guess the winner or twenty twenty five season is
Mike Man.
Speaker 2: Mega Man jilling up is the jip here. Oh, the listeners.
Speaker 1: I'll be graduating forty four to twenty one in mike favor.
Speaker 5: Particularly closy twenty one.
Speaker 2: Wait god, let me, hey, hang on, let me think
of some new rule changes for next year.
Speaker 5: Before you do that, I will. We do have the
quarterly results you're just in case you want to take
a look at them. And you You did lose every quarter, Jeff,
but it a year went on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, that last one was close. I thought
it was losing for a bit though. Huh.
Speaker 5: This does mean that the twenty twenty three winner was Jeff,
twenty twenty four was Mike the tie breaker twenty twenty
five Mike MANA. That means your head you to one.
Congratulations Mike.
Speaker 2: I like these legacy scores. This is good.
Speaker 1: Thanks for doing that, Wolf. Congratulations Mike Manatty, good.
Speaker 2: Job, Thank you very much. It was a good game.
Speaker 5: Thank you, thank you. As always, I am scrolling through
the community results here on the video version, and so
you can take a look how you did. And Wolf
notes if you participate but you didn't see your name
in that, then unfortunately you did not get any points.
Thanks for playing, but no doubts the Lewis Garcia who
won this one. Congratulations, good job, Lewis. Wolf also has
a fun stat this makes Lewis and Screaming Madden the
only two time winners. A mess of a guest and
he notes that you forgot to celebrate Screaming Man's accomplishment
last quarter because we still do quarterlie for the community.
The congratulations Screaming Maden and at this quarter Lewis Garcia. So, gentlemen,
ready for predicting some quarter one?
Speaker 2: Really? But I think we have to so yeah, alright,
as always, you will predict the open creak score.
Speaker 5: This time we have fifteen games the deadline for community
submissions where when the first game gets reviews, Wolf, I'll
do my best to put that thread up right away.
Jeff Grub, you have your Jeff Grub research clause. She
use to do research for one game. You're choosing. Each
of you get to do this once if you don't
think a game releases in the quarry. You can say
we'll not release to get the double points. Jeff goes first,
because Wolf believes this is your year. He's an unbiased judgement.
Speaker 2: It's because I played eighty two during it last.
Speaker 5: Alrighty game number one, gentlemen, we have high guard. High guard.
Speaker 2: Jeff Okay.
Speaker 1: I kind of want to be like, it's not going
to come out, because is it on like next week
it's supposed to be.
Speaker 2: But they've said nothing.
Speaker 1: They've said zero about it since the since the Game Awards.
I'm gonna go with a I'm gonna I'm gonna be
a little bit positive because I bet people are gonna
be a little bit easier on it once they play
it and be like, oh, we overreacted. I think that's
gonna be with the story here, but I think it's
gonna push it too high.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with a seventy nine.
Speaker 3: Yep, Oh, I think that's I think that's optimistic. Part
of me wants to be like, it's just not coming
out this year. I don't really know what the benefit
is quarter this quarter, Like, yeah, this quarter, I don't
really know what the benefit is of that. When I
could just go lower than Jeff a good deal lower.
I think more like a seventy. If you know it
could be worse, I'll say a seventy for high Guard.
I bet there will be some be like yeah, I
mean yeah, it's not terrible. It's kind of fun sometimes,
but it's uninspiring and bland.
Speaker 2: And that's That'll give it a seventy's gotcha?
Speaker 5: All right? And as I mentioned earlier, we do this
snake style. So now it's Mike's turn. Please tell me
I should think Code Vane too will get Yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm trying.
Speaker 3: I think the I mean the first covein probably high seventies,
if anything low eighties. This one might have a smidge
more juice, but I don't I'm not expecting anything huge
for Codeveing Too. This is what I want to say,
like a seventy eight.
Speaker 5: Four seventy eight stef uh.
Speaker 2: I'll research what codvein Wan did. Let me see here.
I'm curious because it might be I might have stuck
into the eighties.
Speaker 1: It had something Lovane open critic. Let's see here.
Speaker 3: A seventy four, Mike, would you say as a seventy eight?
So I honestly I thought it did better than that.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'll go seventy seven. I'll go under.
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like I feel like there's a
strong chance it's right at seventy eight, seventy nine, but
I'm gonna go under. I'll go seventy seven.
Speaker 5: Gotcha, all right, Jeff's turn. Then Dragon Quest seven reimagined.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this is gonna do pretty well. But
I'm going first, so I can't say eighty five. I'm
not gonna immediately break my own rule, So I'll.
Speaker 3: Go with eighty four already, I'll go with eighty five. Actually,
I think, yeah, I think there's gonna be some I
bet the game is still gonna be pretty long. There's
gonna be some people who think it still is a
drags a bit. I think there's gonna be a lot
of RPG fans revealing this game. Like the base off.
The feedback to the demo has been pretty positive. People
seem to like that demo quite a lot. Actually, so yeah,
I think I think eighty five are better.
Speaker 2: It's gonna happen with this one.
Speaker 5: Sounds good? Then Mike Neo three.
Speaker 1: Who part of me wants to look up Neo but
I don't know.
Speaker 2: I want to say I want to say in.
Speaker 3: Eighty three for Neo three, I have to imagine these
are usually like low eighty games. People like them a lot,
but they are certainly never celebrated nearly as much as
like an actual from software game or you know, a
secroo or anything like that.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'll go eighty three on Neo.
Speaker 5: Got it?
Speaker 1: I are these the Are these the Team Ninja ones?
Speaker 2: Oh? Oh, we get that question. No we can't. I'm
asking the universe. I'm asking my own brain.
Speaker 1: I think they are, and I'm yeah, I'll go. I'll
take the over. I'll go eighty four. I canna go
that much over. I think again, I'm afraid of eighty five. Now,
for some reason, these are the Team Ninja.
Speaker 3: These are this is the Stranger of Paradise, Final Fantasy Origins.
Speaker 2: Old nevermind ninety six again?
Speaker 5: All right? Game number five Romeo is a dead man?
Speaker 1: Jeff uh Okay, I will go with a seventy six man.
Speaker 3: Interesting, I say the same thing. Yeah, I like some
people do it. I just think I like backl I
really like this. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: When I look at this game, I just I don't
like the way A lot of as soon as games look,
I don't know now're Hero three didn't do much either.
Seventy six I want to go, though, I'm gonna say
seventy five because I already did my guess. I tried
to see what No my Hairs three did. Let me
actually finish this search.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm curious. I bet it's second serious.
Speaker 1: Seventy seventy six, seventy six, Okay, I feel good around that.
Speaker 5: Then, okay, uh game number six Mario Tennis fever.
Speaker 2: Gosh, like, I wonder if looking at Mario Tennis ACES
would even help.
Speaker 3: Much because I have no leader that would help. Yeah, yeah,
because presumely they're trying to do better. I just don't
know how. I just don't know how much they can
deliver with a Mario Tennis game anymore.
Speaker 2: It'd be good, but it can't be.
Speaker 3: I'm not worried about high eighties, right, I'm not even
worried about mid eighties. It's the question is it sort
disappointing again and in the seventies like I imagine ACES is,
But who knows? Maybe even that still, just for the
virtue of Mario got to hang around the low eighties,
I'm gonna say in in eighty two for Mario Tennis Fever.
Speaker 5: Got it.
Speaker 2: I think it's like.
Speaker 1: And a lot of peop will just come down to
the modes and sort of the structure of the game.
It's hard to tell from that trailer, which I thought
looked I thought the game looked pretty good, but I
thought that about aces too, and I again, I like
the gameplay basis, but trying to remember, I think you're
right about about the last game probably not breaking into
the eighties. So I'm gonna go I'll go with an
eighty flat.
Speaker 5: Yeah, got it, all right? Next up Reanimal Jeff.
Speaker 1: Oh god, if I have day passes where I don't
think about Reanimal, Oh man, God, who would have loved
to have their research clause right now? I have no
idea what this is. I'm gonna go with a I'm
gonna go with the seventy seven.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think this is Maybe it's just because this picture
looks like it, but I think this is like a
limbo esque thing here might be imagining that.
Speaker 2: I'll go, what is what did Jeff say? Sorry, seventy
seven seven, I'll go seventy nine, seventy nine.
Speaker 5: Okay, So this is the new game from the original
a little Nightmares developers. Oh okay, okay, well shit, AnyWho
game number eight High on Life too, Mike.
Speaker 3: Oh god, it's so weird because like, so this game's
is this game not going to be as Rick and
Morty e now, because like Squadch Studios was started by
that guy and I assume he's not even involved with
that anymore because he got old.
Speaker 2: So like how much did? There's some people like Time
on Life one? God him keep forgetting this happened.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say a seventy three for High on Life two.
Speaker 2: Sure's that's good, Mike. Oh man, that thanks tough.
Speaker 1: Under there so hard, actually, geez, I'm I'm gonna be
super negative.
Speaker 2: I'll go, I'll go, I'll go under, I'll go seventy two.
Speaker 5: Okay, are you gonna be super native about game number nine,
Resident Evil Requiem Jeff?
Speaker 1: Yes, Uh, this is not coming out. Uh no, okay,
let me think care Residents Will Requiem is gonna do
pretty well?
Speaker 2: Does it? Does it?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go eighty six? No, hang on, I'm sorry,
let me let me yeah, eighty six, eighty six, eighty
six file answer, yes, eighty six, final answer right.
Speaker 5: Thanks, sirn Man.
Speaker 2: I'm also Hunter Walls is kind of bad and still
got like an eighty nine. Yeah, it was bad.
Speaker 3: Question, and like, this one's not gonna have some of
the concerns of performance because it doesn't look like it's
gonna be that open. So I bet this game actually
runs really well. You said eighty six, Jeff yep, I
think the I think these risk games have done high eighties.
I think Villages kind of like eighty seven ish, maybe
even eighty six. I think it'd be a bit more
of a crowd pleaser. I'll say, yeah, I think eighty
eight was better for this one for me maybe.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Next up game ten, Pokemon Pokopia, like.
Speaker 1: Yours, am I allowed to asking many more games there
are to know when I should use my research clause.
Speaker 2: I don't know what I would research here, but just curious.
It's a thing. It could be a risk thing.
Speaker 5: That's it's more interesting.
Speaker 2: If it's a risk thing, that's fine.
Speaker 1: This is hard, this could be this could be all
over the place, right, that's like your question, like, what
would you even research? No idea, Like some of the spinoffs,
they're all so different.
Speaker 2: Some people are really optimistic for this one. I wonder
how much is gonna be.
Speaker 1: I feel like there's gonna be people who want this
to be Started Value it's not that, and the people
who want this to be Animal Crossing and it's not
going to be that, and they're gonna be a bit frustrated.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say a seventy six.
Speaker 5: Okay, now before you lock in your answer, you were
told at the beginning how my games are. There's fifteen games,
so I just don't want anybody see me have unfairness.
You were told there's thirteen. That'll remind you of there's seventeen.
I appreciate that. Yeah, it's seventy six. That's seventy Mike.
Speaker 1: I think that's another very good guess. I think the
safe one is to go under. I do think that's
like more likely than this being surprisingly very good.
Speaker 2: I liked your point.
Speaker 1: About people will want this to be Starting Valley and
the comparison will not do it many favors.
Speaker 5: So seventy five okay, next game number eleven replaced?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'll yeah, I think I'm gonna go seventy nine.
I feel like it's not quite gonna hit.
Speaker 2: Okay, God, this game has like the same exact title
font Anesthetic as that reanimal Animals, the Olympo people one.
Now you said seventy nine, I'll say seventy eight.
Speaker 5: Okay, do either of you guys know what this game is?
Speaker 2: I do know what this is. Yeah, vaguely remember it.
Speaker 1: What is it like the cyberpunk two D like hyper
pixel art style game?
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is your game where yeah remember the Last
Night which was like the same thing and I was
super excited for and then went away. Then we got replaced,
and now so I'm like, wait, did they just change
the name of that other game. Nope, just a different
game that looks like the same style and everything like that,
just a different one. I'm kind of looking forward to.
This fun thing about this game is me looking at
this listen and going, oh shit, replace has a release date?
Hell you, I'm looking forward to this one. Uh let's
see next up. Game number twelve, John Carpenter's Toxic Commando
like you.
Speaker 3: Oh boy, Okay, I'm gonna look. Is this another like
bad Left for Dead style thing? Oh geez, I'm gonna
say it's seventy one. Sorry, John Carpenter, that might be
I think that might be generous.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 5: Sorry, John Carping, Wow, I know you listen.
Speaker 4: He might listen.
Speaker 2: Actually you said seventy one. Yeah, it definitely rings one
of those ones.
Speaker 1: It's like, has the name attached to it, tries to
be too much, doesn't quite make it.
Speaker 2: You know what what is that payday ripoff?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: The Celebrity City. Yeah, Rocky Stacey. It has rock a
City vibes.
Speaker 2: But I like it. I'm still I think I'm gonna
give this one some hope and go seventy two. You know,
I could see it like squeaking into the seventies.
Speaker 5: Seventy two, got it? Then we have Crimson Desert, Jeff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, very different.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a different desert, but this is related
to another game that I can't remember what it is. Okay, well,
thank you. You're not to help me, though, not to
be clear that that would help me.
Speaker 5: That's the most Christian kid possibly said and had done
nothing for.
Speaker 1: Ye I'll go with a I'm gonna say an eighty.
I think this thing is gonna be good. Okay, mm hmm, God,
I can go either way.
Speaker 3: I feel like I've been going under a lot of
say eighty one on this one. I don't know all right, Uh,
no kind of game is that.
Speaker 5: I think it's souls like Souls action.
Speaker 4: It's a full memo.
Speaker 6: It's like it's not an AMMO.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like an RPG open world type ship.
Speaker 5: Uh, Mike, this and your wheelhouse. I think maybe, unless
you're super offended by us. Next one, game number fourteen
a mouse p I for Hire.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, this looks cute, and I wonder how much
meat is going to be on that bone. This is
the first person shooter that looks like old timey Disney cartoon.
Speaker 5: And some Disney boomer shooter basically.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, which a can neat and all. I wonder
how much this is going to play for most people.
I'll say seventy four or mouse p I for Hire,
which maybe we'll see.
Speaker 2: I think I'm I'm with Mike.
Speaker 1: I see this one and it's like disappointing and ended
up in like the high sixties. Even so I'll go
with I'll just go seventy You said seventy three, What
am I saying?
Speaker 5: Seventy four? Seventy four?
Speaker 2: Then I'll go seventy three.
Speaker 5: Okay, gotcha?
Speaker 2: That would have gone under yeah.
Speaker 5: All right, and then the last one will have pass
for us. Here is an interesting one, Jeff, you get
to predict first marathon move well?
Speaker 1: Yeah, runner, m man, how do these games review? I
really don't know. I'm trying to, like, I'm gonna go
lower than what my gut's saying, just because I think
that that has happened even with like our creators.
Speaker 2: Our creators like reviewed a little bit lower than I
was expecting it to. I'll go with a seventy nine.
Speaker 4: Get else to the Eurogamer for that one.
Speaker 2: I would like to research something, research research marathon help
this is this is a series, you know, let's it go.
Speaker 6: Yeah, critic the Apple loosen their ship right now.
Speaker 2: Man, let's see you now, come on mayor thond people.
Speaker 6: There's like it's not on the for the Creamson this
that I said, it's a full mmo.
Speaker 4: It's a this is not a real a memo.
Speaker 2: Oh I think you met full mmo trying. That's what
I heard too.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Marathon two Duran Dell, you're serious? For the
Xbox three sixty got a sixty two, so I think
the Marathon two Durham.
Speaker 5: The what like for three sixty?
Speaker 2: Well, they re released all of the old ones on
three sixty.
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, I thought it was like some reboot one
that I messaged they can release them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so sixty.
Speaker 3: I BET's gonna do a little bit better with like
the advanced Bentsic technology.
Speaker 2: And you know, it's come a long way since Packed. Man,
they come a long ways. It's packed man. Yeah, yeah,
what you say, Jeffah seventy nine, seventy six, Right, I
think people are not going to have it too much
with this one. A lot of people are gonna be
real down on a lot of people are gonna bad.
That's good. Then a lot of people are gonna be
down on it. It's gonna bring it down.
Speaker 5: All right. Well, well, before we end here, Wolf says,
let's start the fourth year vessel a guest with a
bang parentheses. Yeah, four years. I feel old now, And
let me get the predictions up for everyone. If I
had that frame correctly, you should just pop up on
your end, Jeff, and then I can read it off
for the audio listeners. Auctioneer mode here high guard, Jeff said,
seventy nine. Mike, you know what, Mike, I will say,
props to you for actually like a deviating quite a
bit on Loe. Mike said, seventy Code Vein two, Jeff
said seventy seven. Mike said seventy eight. We're back to
the old ways. Dragon Quest seven, Reimagine Jeff eighty four,
Mike eighty five. Neo three Jeff eighty four, Mike eighty three.
Romeo is a dead Man Jeff seventy six, Mike seventy five.
Mario test Fever Jeff said eighty, Mike said eighty two.
Reanimal Jeff was seventy seven, Mike was seventy nine. High
on Life two Jeff seventy two, Mike seventy three. Resident
Evil Requiem Jeff eighty six, Mike eighty eight. Pokemon Okopia
Jeff seventy five, Mike seventy six. Replaced. Jeff said seventy nine.
Mike said seventy eight. John Carpenter's Toxic Commando Jeff said
seventy two. Mike said, f you, John Carpenter seventy one.
Brimson Desert Jeff said eighty. Mike went over with eighty
one mouse PI for hire. Jeff said seventy three. Mike
again over, seventy four. He actually went first marathon Jeff said,
seventy nine, and Mike used all parts of the research
clause to say seventy six, big brain move.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Sean, appreciate it. Thank you Wolf
for always tanks me together. We really appreciate it. Jeff's
crazy for thinking of seventy one on high Guard. I'll
just say I've heard for people who've played it, it
sounds like it's pretty good. Oh and sod, I mean,
does that end up mattering? We'll see, We'll see what
happens there. But yeah, but the word on it's like,
this is a really fun game. Will that matter for
people who I think it also looks very bland? I'm
Mike could end up being right there. I am feeling
okay about some of mine, not so not so okay
about others. But we'll get the results of that in
about three months. That's how we do this. We do
it once a quarter, so if you are interested, just
tune in every week. You'll never know when we're actually
gonna do the results. Just hang in there, all.
Speaker 2: Right, Let's take one last break. We'll come back talk
about what.
Speaker 1: We've been playing, and then we'll do this, clean up
the super chats, and get on out of here.
Speaker 2: Right after this.
Speaker 1: We are back, Let's wrap up the show, starting with Mike,
what have you been playing?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 3: I did start Nine Souls yesterday. This is a Metroid
two D Metroid vigna with a lot of Secoro inspiration.
I think you should have say on their Steam page
it's it's got Secer inspired deflection focus combat. So it's
it's got Perry slop and I've I've learned that I
love Perry slap right, just shove it down. I goll it. So,
you know, I figured this game would be right up
my alley. I've always heard good things about it came
out a couple of years ago, so I finally have
some downtime here some checking it out, and yeah, it's
it's super fun because you definitely have like the Perry
and the window of that feels very similar to Securo
where if you get it, you know, you have to
get the timing really good to kind of get the
best benefit from it, and in this it means you know,
you take no damage. Uh, and also you can kind
of immediately do this special counter attack where you kind
of put a little symbol on them and then hold
it down and it blows up and deals all this damage.
Speaker 1: If you missed the timing. A bit you take, you
don't like take actual damage. You take damage that will
eventually refill. But so you can't keep taking that kind
of damage because you'll still die anyway. So you do
have to get good with the timing.
Speaker 3: Then there's been some fun movement stuff that I've been getting,
Like there's kind of like a uh uh, it's a
spinning thing that lets me jump off of certain abilities.
I have a graphic hook. It's not the movement is
definitely the emphasized over the combat. It is a combat
focused Metroidvanua, which you know, I'm absolutely down for. I
fought like the first big boss at the end of
my stream, and that felt really good. Very you know,
Secero style, learning the patterns, getting a hang of it,
when to attack, when to be defensive, when to find
a chance to heal. You know, it has that healing
system right of those games you have. In this case,
it's a smoking pig that you have to smoke from
to get your health back.
Speaker 1: When you die, you got to go back to you
to your corpse and get your currency.
Speaker 2: So even more so than like a holl of Night,
Very Souls, like.
Speaker 1: I started Nine Souls when it came out and people
were talking about it, and I just didn't immediately grab
me and there was a bunch of other things, so
I kind of moved on pretty quickly. But yeah, maybe
if I wanted to get back into it is maybe
the measure go to try to get to that first
boss and see how I feel about it.
Speaker 3: Maybe I will say, like the game it's I don't
want to be like, oh, it's too talky, like I
hear it, but yeah, that might have been one of
the things. Kind of it's a smidge talkie and the
game is you know, I got a lot of indie games.
Speaker 2: Kind of this. It's very proud of its lore and
it wants either really know it's lor nor is good.
And the characters do seem interesting.
Speaker 3: But that's like one thing where it does deviate from
a Soul's game, Like those games are always very kind
of discreet about their story. A lot of it is
kind of just subtext or it happens, or if you
really want to learn it, you kind of have to
dig a bit deeper. I do kind of like that style.
And here it's a lot more dialogue boxes people talking
to me, and you know this cutscene happening here and
things like that, so, you know, to a point where
I did think it slowed the pace down a little
bit too much.
Speaker 2: So that's been my criticism mode.
Speaker 3: But the combat has felt so good that I'm definitely
still having a very good time and I'm excited to
dig deeper into it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I remember a lot of people talking about it very
positively when it was coming out. It was like kind
of like, oh, well, I'm a bitripeing you guys should
check this out. And yeah, I think, well, I will
be happy to continue to hear your updates, and I'll
kind of maybe wait for your next time we talk
about it to see what you're thinking at that point.
If you start to fall in love with it, I'll
bell maybe maybe it'll be time for me to Geah.
I definitely like, I definitely am like, oh, this is
really good.
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm like, oh, this is as good
as a Silk Song or a you know, like a
super Metroid or like the very top tier of the
Metroid Venus. I don't know if I'm gonna come like
come my feeling like that about it, but I'm definitely
having a good time.
Speaker 2: But I think this year.
Speaker 3: I would like to maybe play some of the Metroit
Venus that I've missed that people do like a lot
like this and the blasphemous games I.
Speaker 2: Know, get a lot of love. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm
there for sure.
Speaker 3: But yeah yeah, that's where I'm definitely gonna be playing
through it though. And it seems like it's going to
be a pretty beefy one because there's like nine things
I have to collect, the nine souls.
Speaker 2: After three hours, I got one, so you know, a
ways to go that does sound beefy. I started up
Super ten Pen.
Speaker 1: This is a in sixty four inspired bowling game with
like really really great Yeah it's it's on Steam. It's
been on there for a while. It's so it just
straight up looks like an sixty four game.
Speaker 2: They nailed it. I love that the men use all
that stuff. The title card just straight up in four shit.
It's awesome. And then it's got really great bowling control.
Speaker 1: With like you know, yeah, you set up the shot
and you aim left and right and all that stuff,
but then the ball goes and you have after touch,
like a ton of after touch, and then there's also
like pickups on the way down the lane. So it's like, okay,
throw the ball, all right, you got to strike. All right,
here's round two. Now there's an obstacle, a ramp that
moves back and forth to the left, and if you
hit the ramp at the right time, you jump into
the speed one that. Now, that gives you a ton
of extra control and you're almost guaranteed, guaranteed to get
a strike if you hit that front pin. And it's like, okay,
I'm going to be play really risky then and go
for it. And it feels really good when you're getting it.
It's just like, oh, yeah, this is good.
Speaker 2: Arcadie.
Speaker 1: Fun with that with like the right look for a
bowling game like this kind of style.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't even know why, but in my mind like, yes,
a bowling game should look like Nintendo sixteenth.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that makes to me, It just
it fits perfectly. We're we're doing bowling week.
Speaker 2: Is that one of the weeks we're gonna trying to
ask our week is I don't know if we are,
because we're doing fishing week. Fishing all week. We're doing
fishing week.
Speaker 1: That's ram day. We'll have a bowling week. So we'll
keep this in mind. I'm keeping this in the back pocket.
I think, yeah, I think this would be a really
fun one. I did not look at the multiplayer options,
but it obviously must have them because it's like, so
you take turns, It's.
Speaker 2: It should just work that way.
Speaker 3: I'm in the mood for bowling in general. So yeah,
I've added this to my wish lists. I bet some
day this will be honest team sound I can pick.
Speaker 2: Oh for sure.
Speaker 1: I bet it'll be really really affordable, and yeah I
would I would love for you to pick it up
and try it. And then I started up Rhythm Doctor
as well, which is one where it's like a couple
of times a year. I got a couple of people
on my Discord friends list that will just be like
you playing this, and this is one.
Speaker 2: Chris person like I think.
Speaker 1: I reached out to Chris about a sectory and a
few weeks later he reached out to me about this.
Speaker 2: He's like, you you like rhythm games. I'm like, yeah,
like rhythm games, and he's like, you should try Rhythm Doctor.
And it's been like a month since then.
Speaker 1: I finally booted it up, and you play as a
doctor who saves people through rhythm games that are all
basically Rhythm Heaven style mini games, and it's immediately just fantastic.
It's there's been other games that have tried to do
Rhythm Heaven, this one feels like it's one of the
really good ones.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I mean on Steam it's got like
over seven thousand reviews overwhelmingly positive.
Speaker 2: That's very impassive. I think it might be a real
good game.
Speaker 1: I've only done the first couple of games so far,
mini games. I'm gonna be playing this through here pretty quickly.
I started on the PC. They give you all like
the you know, the timing stuff up front to make
sure that the timing is dialed in and you can
move things around to.
Speaker 2: Make sure that there's any latency. It accounts for that.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna move over to the Steam deck. I
think could just kind of play it on there, and yeah,
it's it's really well done. It doesn't have that like
Rhythm Heaven animated style. It gets much more pixel art
and things like that that medium instead. But I don't know,
they make it work. It's super charming looking and the
music's really really good.
Speaker 5: Is this on Switch too?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I hope it is, uh.
Speaker 3: Conferm be coming to switch later in twenty twenty six. Okay, perfect,
it's gonna come eventually. Okay, yeah, yeah, that'll be one.
Speaker 1: We'll make a big deal about it when that happens
on then ten dogs and talk about it nice.
Speaker 3: You know what I am playing on my switch to
now while uh, you know, I did a lot of RPGs.
There's even some more coming right like drag Wes seven's
release is happening. But after like Tactics and Dragon Quests
one at two D, I felt like I need to
do a little something else, but I wasn't sure what.
So I actually picked up that capcom pit Crossing that
came out a little bit remember that. Hell yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm back on my pitcross bullshit right now.
Speaker 2: Anyho.
Speaker 3: It's great because it's just like I make something and
they're like it's Stoneman from Mega Man five. I'm like,
hell again, it's just playing like the Magma three intro
music or it has a background thing of promotional Commando
art or something like that. So yeah, it's just pitrocks
with a Pitcross with a really nice favorite to it.
I don't know about color pick Cross, uh, part of
me is like, this is more than pick cross thee
Just give me the classic.
Speaker 2: I don't need all this.
Speaker 1: Maybe I have done some color pick cross stuff, but
I don't remember doing it that much.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't. It's not what I come to pick cross
for because I did play the Sega one.
Speaker 3: It's like the same thing as this, And I think
I saw I first tried color pick I was like,
I just want to play pit cross pick cross actually, but.
Speaker 2: You know there's you need to play pick cross three D.
I know, like that's not on switch you know, No,
I know, but it's on you know dyes, and emulate
it and play it, stream it and stuff. Yeah, but yes, yeah,
but is there all? Isn't the first one on d S?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: I thought it was maybe is there a Mega man in.
Speaker 5: Just right? That first one was a DS game.
Speaker 1: I think round two is on three DS. I think, yeah,
you don't kill me, Mike on your phone. Did did
you ever get that Konami that free to play not
free to play just straight up free pickcross game from Konami? No, No,
that's worth getting when you're just like in line, you know,
doing stuff, because it's just a bunch of like Konami
icons from eighties arcade games and stuff.
Speaker 2: It's great.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's got great music, it's really well done. And
then you know, I have the thing that like turns
off all ads and on all my games.
Speaker 2: So I have a pie hole. But if you if
you don't have that.
Speaker 1: It's still like some ads and that's it a pie hole, right,
retro pie that like you know, basically access my own
DNS server. So I all the ads get thrown into
the hole and I don't see them.
Speaker 2: Uh, all right? Anything else with Mike?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I don't know if I need
to hear joke talking about I was I.
Speaker 2: Christian sectory too. I don't need to talk about it.
Speaker 4: No, I don't want to puloge. I want to shoose
say that Mike has a higher.
Speaker 2: Points than me about sectory.
Speaker 6: My house like three million whatever, but his time he's
thirty one minutes.
Speaker 4: I had three millions a little bit less in eight minutes. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Are you playing Christian? Are you playing on a Challenge?
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's playing Challenge as well.
Speaker 1: Yes, oh the ones I think where you said three
million he was playing on. I thought he was only
playing on experience. No experience I have.
Speaker 6: I have a technique, but it's very very dangerous, very risky.
Speaker 4: That's why I'm dying like eight minutes.
Speaker 2: As well.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I need to refine it because otherwise I will
never reach Chef, which is a ten million. Like if
you play like normal, it's impossible to get ten million.
Speaker 4: So you gotta be like you gotta do all those.
Speaker 2: Straight play risky. You have to.
Speaker 1: Yep, absolutely, I said, yeah, I'm still playing a lot
of that game.
Speaker 2: That's bad.
Speaker 1: Okay. Oh I did start dragging Quest seventy demo.
Speaker 2: I'm nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah I didn't steam Deck because that's where I'm gonna
get the game.
Speaker 2: And yeah, that's that's really good. Just kind of right
out of the gate.
Speaker 1: Think things get going pretty fast and you get to
meet that freaky face character really fe.
Speaker 3: It's so funny because like the first time I start
of the game, I think everybody assumes that guy's gonna
be a little ship. Yeah he's actually he's very nice,
Like he's like bro's brow.
Speaker 2: He loves you.
Speaker 1: He's great, he's nice. He's like, you're the only ones
that get it. And I'm like, yeah, man, we key
for we are the only ones that get.
Speaker 2: It, right, like he should be a little shit. He's
the prince. He's nice. I love him. I know parents
don't understand. Yeah, dude, and his parents don't understand. Like
the kids are right, Yeah, they've been.
Speaker 3: I just they've been doing such a good job with
Dragon Quest remakes and stuff. It's a bumper how long
it's taking twelve to happen. But it doesn't feel close
right now. Yeah, it does not feel close still. But
the one, two, three, AHG two D and then like
this different direction for seven, and I bet I bet
they'll be doing stuff with four, five and six and
uh eight and hopefully I bet nine very soon is
finally gonna get freed from D the DS Dungeon, and
I would like that a lot.
Speaker 1: That one I loved quite a bit. Nice, I've beaten
any of these games, but I played.
Speaker 2: A ton of nine. I was a fantastic time on DS.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I played a good chunk of it back before
I was like really into the series at all. And
I would love to finally play it again and really
finish it this time for sure.
Speaker 1: Man, the DS was a good console, all right, let's uh,
let's read some super chests Mike.
Speaker 2: Oh right, Yeah, how far are you in that demo?
May I ask? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit past hanging like key for joined
my party.
Speaker 2: Just a little bit ago. Okay, next up? Then next up?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're where we pup a bus speaking of Star Wars.
There we go from epic loping world. Speaking of Star Wars, Jeff,
have you heard anything about the Tactics game Respawn is
assisting with supposed to be this year.
Speaker 2: I've been or anything new, but I'm not gonna.
Speaker 1: I could definitely ask around about that game, but it
feels like that's one that just pops up at a
show here. Pretty soon we get the full details and
then it gets a release date for not too long
from now.
Speaker 2: I hope that's the case. Taking the pisser pssr. That
what he says.
Speaker 3: The voice actor for Larry was also the voice actor
for Hercules in the nineteen seven animated movie Therefore by
Dizzey Proxy. Mike likes, excuse me, leisure suit Larry. I
wonder what that's the Oh, well, Hercules I think has
a young voice and an old voice.
Speaker 2: I think maybe I'm wrong, maybe that's not.
Speaker 1: Right now, it's just one of is this a bit
because people are doing lots of bits with this gamer,
like that's the composer for middle Gear Solid three, and
all those things were lies.
Speaker 2: That was a lie. A lie. That's not that's not
just a let's ay, that's not a joke. That's just
a lie. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think I think the chat was having fun with us.
Speaker 2: I think a little bit. I'm pretty sure. I guess
there's just one Hercules. See, you know, Tate Donovan is
Tate Donovan Leisure.
Speaker 3: I don't think he is. Let's see, uh lea okay,
box office bust.
Speaker 2: See. I believe that it was that the guy who
did the music, Like you know, they gotta work sometimes.
Let me see, Okay, I'm looking up the guy who
did the music. Let's see here. Uh.
Speaker 1: One of the guys that did the music, Jay Waters,
also did the music for Worms of Space, Oddity and
Little Big Planet four. And then the other other guy,
let's see, Oliver Wood.
Speaker 3: Okay, I figured it out. So Josh Keaton, who is
in fact the voice of leisures suit Larry and Box
Office Bus, provided the singing voice of Hercules as a
the speaking.
Speaker 2: Voice of young Hercules.
Speaker 3: So he's the speaking voice only of young Hercules, not
the sinking voice of young Hercules, and he's not adult Hercules,
so that's that's what I thought.
Speaker 2: Okay, so that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Then this afford planet all different people here, it's right,
Oh yeah, he's revolver asalot and snaky Eater, right, Harry,
I just the google a eyes tell me, Harry Gregson Williams,
who did the music for Metal Gear Solidary, did not
compose music for a leisure suit.
Speaker 2: Larry Kings, So well then shit, all right? Then yeah,
egg in our face all.
Speaker 3: Right, Glitchy Texture says, Hello, guys, are we going to
get the God of War two point five D game
this year?
Speaker 2: Thanks? And Happy New Year, Happy New Year to you
as well. Glitchy Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know, the more I heard about it, the more
people working on that game were like that it was
always coming out this year and that never last year.
But you know, Sony Corporate often often kind of gets
ahead of themselves, and so.
Speaker 2: When I was here, amst cooked him out last year.
Speaker 1: It's like, turns out that was just Sony Corporate getting
ahead of themselves. And then Accratic says, two questions, will
game us Jeopardy return in twenty twenty six, and when
are we setting up ECO again? Uh, we have had
conversations about game us Jeopardy. It's it is pretty labor intensive,
but we're coming up with solutions for that. I wanted
to come back this year, yes, but we'll see. And
then when are we doing EGO again? God, I just
don't know how to do ECO any content.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's it's a commitment and it's it's a
hard one to imagine.
Speaker 6: So yeah, so we need we need like collapse, we
need people from other communities to.
Speaker 1: Where we need to collapse. But it's like then, like
I think we have to like not really. We could
stream it, sure, but that can't be the main content
from It's kind of have to be like for daily
reports or like a weekly edited video, right, but like
a real time game that happens over the course.
Speaker 2: Of a month.
Speaker 3: Right, You're supposed to play that game for basically hours
every day for a month. It's a it's just it's
a hard ask for anyone, including ourselves anymore.
Speaker 2: It turned so I would love to play it again.
I don't know though, maybe once Uh you know, everything
is like destroyed and all we have left is our
computers in the internet exactly. That's a perfect time.
Speaker 4: I was the president of the World Bank that one time.
Speaker 2: Yeah you were, and I still a little bit of money.
Speaker 4: That's pretty good.
Speaker 3: Uh, Andrew Panton says made it back before the show ended.
Thank you for telling me about the superstation.
Speaker 2: I just pre ordered it. I'm so excited to get that.
When is do we know when those are ship? We
got that.
Speaker 1: We got that update about like the CD drive and
the and the thing like shipping.
Speaker 5: There they're going out like now they're testing the docs
right now. But I think like people who just ordered
a superstation, the first batches are already like out there,
like shipping two people right now. So shit, it should
should be soon.
Speaker 1: Okay, cool, I guess I should get check my emails.
So I got like any shipping notification.
Speaker 3: And then Leslie from Large Mario. I am playing Mario
Kart DS with my pals having a fun little time.
Hell yeah, Large Mario Mario Kart DS. I know something
as I talked about Mario Kart, but Mario Kart DS
ruled that's probably the one I played the most of.
Speaker 2: Man, I played a ton of that, and that's when
they like, I think they really dialed it in.
Speaker 1: Mario Kart seven was even better, and Mario Kart eight
Deluxe even better. But yeah, Mario kartis was awesome. You know,
Snaking was a huge problem like that. That became a
problem because I played a lot online because this was
a great little online console thing.
Speaker 2: I loved using that thing.
Speaker 1: I played Mario Kirtiz constantly and then you get in
every match and everyone was snakying and it kind of
became a I had to get good at snaking and
it kind of ruined the game. Any other super chats
that was that, I'm sorry, no, but Dan Record's playing
Pecher apparently, and I put it on this monitor and
now I want to play Soecaro again.
Speaker 2: God.
Speaker 1: I think instead you should just go backseat in his
chat and just tell him all the things he's doing wrong.
Speaker 2: That's that's the good stuff.
Speaker 3: That'd be fantastic. Yeah, that'd be fun. That'd be a
fun time too, for sure. But Nope, looks like we
are caught up.
Speaker 1: Thanks everybody, Thank you for all the super chats, Thank
you for hanging out with us tonight. I think we're
gonna hit this button because it's time for us to
get out of here. Mike Minatti, where can people find
you on the internet? What are you have going on?
All that good stuff?
Speaker 3: Twitch at Tolkoto, Like I said, play through nine Souls
right now. Please check out Monday Mornings Miss with Mitch.
We've been having a really good time with Miss three
EXI so far, just two episodes in that game has
kind of been really impressing me. So I've been having
a ton of fun doing that with you and with jam.

Bonca Sports, so we did a talkover for a resivil
Requiem showcase and I have a little quick look right

yet I.
Speaker 2: Still love doing this every week. So thanks for everyone.
Speaker 6: By the way, I heard some people ask why there's
no Spotify video anymore is.
Speaker 4: Because we get being by the butts every single time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Spotify is pretty aggressive and poort at its copyright
enforcement stuff, and we get a lot of false positives
and it's just it's not super worth it. You know,
if they can get that stuff figured out, maybe, but
I just I don't really like Spotify.
Speaker 4: Spotify.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's I mean, we put this on on
an RSS feed for the reason they try it in
the middle.
Speaker 2: Say see correct asker game. That's happening this weekend? Is
