Military enormous, No, maybe military maybe military grades 56 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:35.039 being a silly yeah, most questionable. I remember that. I 57 00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:35.639 remember that. 58 00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.520 Did he have a guy or did he just had 59 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:38.960 a guy? 60 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:39.759 Yeah? 61 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:41.319 Would they run on? 62 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.520 I don't really, I don't remember. It was in charge 63 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.120 of ours, so we had like the boys had a mic, 64 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:49.159 had a radio. AG was in charge with he was 65 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.599 the oldest. Then my dad had one. We would just 66 00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:55.159 walk around and magic ate them come back to the 67 00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:55.800 room for dinner. 68 00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:58.719 You guys have like code names for your dad and 69 00:03:58.919 --> 00:03:59.800 the boys. 70 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.919 Or no, no, not really. It was we were really 71 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:04.719 having fun with it. It was just like this is just 72 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:08.759 the normal way we communicate, like fun. Right then two 73 00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.560 years later, like flip cell phones became very cheap and 74 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.240 like every teenager had them, and then smartphones from there. 75 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.000 So yeah, can you talk to your dad and just 76 00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:21.199 be like, yo, uh dad, can you like show me 77 00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:23.079 a picture of what these radios I. 78 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.920 Try to get more information about. Ah, probably remembers even 79 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:28.920 better than I do. He's at Disney World right now, though, 80 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:29.959 so I won't bother him. 81 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.879 No, what does he do, He's just a Disney World. 82 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:35.920 Yeah, right, every teenager has a smart phone. You're not 83 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:37.800 that much younger than me. 84 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.399 Trying to say for some reason, was in college? Yeah, yes, 85 00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:46.000 I also think had my first one in college before that, Yeah, 86 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:47.879 late high school. I'm a little bit younger than you. 87 00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:52.560 So it was like before that was super Again, we 88 00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:54.879 were young teenagers like Chris the youngest may have been 89 00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:56.839 more even like twelve or something, but it was like 90 00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.920 that's okay, right, yeah exactly. 91 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:03.240 It's almost yeah, very close, but okay. 92 00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:07.160 Yeah exactly. So yeah, that was our That was the thing, like, okay, 93 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:08.920 this is safe enough. You guys go around the world. 94 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.800 You have this walkie talkie and uh yeah, we just. 95 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:14.959 Use that to the best of your knowledge as our 96 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.920 resident Disney expert of the parks. Do you think you 97 00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:22.720 could bring in like radios and walkie talkies to the 98 00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:25.399 parks now because I feel like they'd interfere with everything. 99 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.279 Yeah, I bet they would stop because, like I'm trying 100 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.319 to think, I don't know if this was pre nine 101 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.560 to eleven, that seems like maybe too early, right, so 102 00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:37.800 I wonder what the security checkpoint person thought of them, 103 00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:40.360 But maybe couldn't have. In no way it was pre 104 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:42.399 nine eleven. It could not have been pre nine to eleven. 105 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:45.680 So if we go through then I don't think so, 106 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.879 and that would have been too young. I think maybe 107 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:54.519 not even maybe then hmmm, I'm went there. I'm gonna 108 00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:56.519 have to confer my brothers to get some more details 109 00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:57.000 about this. 110 00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:01.279 It had to be before I before nine to eleven. 111 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:04.680 Yeah, I guess I would have been like thirteen then, Yeah, 112 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:06.319 it could have been. I could have been right before 113 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:07.439 nine to eleven. 114 00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:12.759 That if it was just two thousand, yeah. 115 00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:13.560 Yeah, we might not get right before nine eleven. So 116 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.319 there wasn't the security checkpoints that they have now. 117 00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:24.279 So different ways to word things. Well, folks at home, 118 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:27.920 you can help us get a pair of walkie talkies 119 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:31.279 several pairs of walkie talkies by subscribing to Giant Bomb 120 00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:34.639 premium or YouTube memberships over there.

What we did is we because 190 00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:26.960 Adobe Premiere fucking sucks and me and Jan can barely 191 00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:29.240 use it anymore, and so don't worry, we're getting off it. 192 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:31.840 We're trying to get over to resolve. It's happening slowly 193 00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:36.559 but surely. Because we can't really edit multiicam videos, we 194 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.320 just did live switching in obs as if it were 195 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.320 like a in person recording basically, and it seemed to 196 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.279 go over really well. People seem to really like it. 197 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:47.200 If you haven't checked out yet, definitely go check it 198 00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:49.799 out because I'm pretty proud of how that one turned out. 199 00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:52.559 Yeah, special special shouts out to Sean for running the 200 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:54.919 ones and twos and having all of us yelling in 201 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:55.519 his ear. 202 00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:00.279 That was so funny. Yeah. Production wise, so you are 203 00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.159 just using procx chat, but then I heard everyone on discord, 204 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:04.960 so there were times where you were split into like 205 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:08.600 three groups and everyone was yelling something different to pick out, okay, 206 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.879 like who who noise switched to. It was really funny 207 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:13.039 and a fun thing to produce. 208 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:17.080 Yes, I'm starting to see the Adobe hate here. Because 209 00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:20.519 like I've starting to adedit more videos, and my last 210 00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:22.440 couple have been like shorter ones, Like you know, the 211 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:25.080 San Francisco Travelog was like probably what ten or fifteen 212 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.720 or something. The steam Machine one was a lot of cuts, 213 00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:30.559 but shorter. I'm like forty minutes into the road Trip 214 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:32.960 Travelog now with a ton of cuts and bullshit, and 215 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:36.559 like I'm starting to see Premiere chugging and like, oh, 216 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:38.919 all these clips in my bin aren't they don't have 217 00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:41.399 preview images and this thing won't actually hit play when 218 00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:43.600 play when I hit play. So yeah, starting to see 219 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:44.559 why Premiere sucks now. 220 00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:47.720 Especially the videos that you've been doing Dan have been 221 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:50.399 like more you have one video that you like trim 222 00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:52.960 and then you go to the next video in the timeline. 223 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.840 But especially when you're doing multi caam, you have multiple 224 00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:59.679 sources all like together and you're like swapping between them rapidly. 225 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:01.519 Premiere just ships the bed. 226 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:02.320 Yeah. 227 00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:04.000 I ran into that too when I was trying to 228 00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:08.360 pixelate Mike Manatti's crotch yesterday and as you do, and 229 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:10.559 I was just trying to do the mask. I was 230 00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:12.799 trying to do the mosaic over it and everything, and 231 00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:14.240 it's like it's like, oh, you want to do an 232 00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.440 AI thing. You want an AI thing to find Mike 233 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:19.679 Manati's crotches. Bro, I know were Mike Manatt's crotches. I 234 00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:22.919 will put the rectangle over it. No, they want today, 235 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:23.480 I either do it. 236 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:27.960 Yeah, yeah, you should switch to AVID. 237 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:30.679 And so we had we had Avid a w yeah 238 00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:32.440 that's really they were still easy to have. 239 00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:34.200 Avid still pretty popular. 240 00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:38.600 Yeah, I know for shows and some shows. 241 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:42.039 The reason they had is just that like vast video 242 00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:44.240 library from like all of that stuff was just like 243 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:44.879 on Avid. 244 00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:45.679 And so like all the. 245 00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.440 Computers we got on AVID could access everything from every 246 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:48.919 camera and. 247 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:54.679 So, okay, all right, well boys, how how's everyone doing? 248 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:57.000 Hows how's how how are thangs. 249 00:12:58.320 --> 00:12:58.720 Good? 250 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:03.679 Things are?

I thought that was fun. 253 00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:18.559 It seems like we should be entering these liminal spaces 254 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:22.759 more and fucking around with all the creep creeps there within. 255 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:26.600 I will say there hasn't been well, there's several things 256 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:29.799 that make me question my career trajectory and progress in 257 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:33.879 my life more than Caine Parsons, a twenty year old 258 00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:37.799 directing a whole ass movie, and that made me stand 259 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:38.440 and just like. 260 00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:44.799 Oh, well, yeah, oh oh, something's happening something. My back 261 00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:48.279 rooms are opening, all my all my memories, all of 262 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:49.039 my thoughts. 263 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:50.799 What the hell? 264 00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:51.240 Yeah? 265 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:56.440 Hell, I told you the people. I'm hiding my cat 266 00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:58.799 Catwoman's outfit. 267 00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:01.840 For these people never gonna get it. 268 00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:06.159 Oh gosh, what oh god? 269 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:08.960 Are they like drilling into your room right now? They 270 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:09.960 want the keyboards? 271 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:12.519 Oh it's so loud. 272 00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:18.080 All right, Well, well. 273 00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:20.039 It's the question, and I just want the most dumb 274 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:21.960 down answer for me to understand here. 275 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:23.519 That's the worst pivot possible. 276 00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:26.120 Yeah, it's it's and it's not even a pivot. Okay, 277 00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:30.000 the back rooms, it's a game, it's a movie. Is 278 00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:32.720 this the same ip? Who owns this? What was the 279 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:35.000 first one? What the fuck are the back rooms? 280 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.200 So? I'm not we should get a super eye patch 281 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:42.840 wolf to maybe explain it. But the way I understand 282 00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:45.360 it is that the back Rooms is just sort of 283 00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:50.080 like an Internet phenomenon of like liminal space photography. Uh, 284 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.360 there's there is a conflicting reports of where it may 285 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:57.519 have originated. A lot of people point to a single 286 00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:00.720 photograph I think posted on four chan men years ago 287 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:04.960 that just depicts like a back rooms photo similar to 288 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:08.399 what the movie has popularized. And then Kane Parsons took 289 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:13.039 his interpretation of Backrooms and made an entire YouTube movie. 290 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:13.960 That's correct. 291 00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:17.360 He made a YouTube series that looks very the aesthetic 292 00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:19.960 is very similar to the back Rooms film, the A 293 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.799 twenty four film, but that was just sort of like 294 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:26.559 his interpretation of it. No one essentially owns background, So 295 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:27.200 we could. 296 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:28.879 Make a movie called back Rooms and just put it 297 00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:30.600 I can now. 298 00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:32.519 I don't think you could call it that, but you 299 00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:36.639 could certainly like have some wordplay and make it there. 300 00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:39.799 But a concept that has existed in several different medium 301 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:40.600 for a while now. 302 00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:44.360 Yeah, mostly born of the internet, like born out of 303 00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:46.279 the Internet. 304 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:50.360 Yeah, like nobody nobody owns. 305 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:57.360 Yeah there. And the story that Caine Parsons portrayed does 306 00:15:57.480 --> 00:15:59.919 deviate from his YouTube seriers that was very much into 307 00:15:59.919 --> 00:16:04.320 his YouTube series when it was first starting to come out. 308 00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:08.519 This has a much more kind of like focused story 309 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:13.120 where there's maybe perhaps more answers than the way it's 310 00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:16.159 popularized on the internet provides. And this is a much 311 00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:19.080 more you know, they had like a writer come in 312 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.879 and kind of like really give it a film sort 313 00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:22.440 of treatment. 314 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:25.759 Yeah, I'd say it's like adjacent to like all the 315 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:28.519 what is it called SCP stuff like the. 316 00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:33.600 Oh sure, like objects of Power sci fi kind of 317 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:37.600 like appendix on the Internet. Sure, that's that's that's crossover. 318 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:39.519 There, We're doing a good job. Was saying, like, no 319 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:41.840 one owns vampires, no one owned zombies. It's just like 320 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:42.480 a concept. 321 00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:45.519 Dan, I was gonna go with, nobody owns the concept 322 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:50.720 of the Bermuda Triangle, Okay, stories about it. Obviously, Bermuda 323 00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:54.320 is a real place and everything they own the concept 324 00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:56.799 of like ships sail here and disappear or whatever, like 325 00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:59.600 nobody owns that concept the same thing here. 326 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:00.360 Yeah, I see. 327 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:04.240 Yeah. I think like the vampire stuff is that's like 328 00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:07.160 cryptid stuff that is now public domain. I feel like 329 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:12.400 at one point someone like MGM, probably Universal Bracula. 330 00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:15.240 Yeah, the vampires, I don't know. Yeah, maybe we can 331 00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:16.640 make a chup of Cabra movie. 332 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:21.839 Yeah, yeah, we could do that. So so we did 333 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:24.680 Backrooms and I'm also I also was forced to buy 334 00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:34.400 my first crystal this weekend.

Please respect that. 379 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:00.720 Brought it up. 380 00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:04.480 Exposed laundry. 381 00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:08.680 Okay, all right, I believe it's Mary to blame, but okay. 382 00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:11.720 No, Mary, actually it is. I think you gave Mary 383 00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:14.960 the assist. I think she scored with your assist. 384 00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:19.119 We asked what your biggest passion was, and she earnestly said, 385 00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:22.640 he's a boat enthusiast. He loves talking about his boat. 386 00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:29.279 So either Jeff, married's just wildly misremembering something, or you 387 00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:32.000 are a boat guy and you're lying to us because 388 00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:33.200 you think we'll make fun of you. 389 00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:35.799 Did she really did? She look at perhaps the skipper 390 00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:37.079 photo and just stick with. 391 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:39.680 That earnestly thinks that. 392 00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:42.440 But that was the first thing before pinball, before hockey. 393 00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:44.839 When I asked her, like, oh, name the passions of 394 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:46.319 the Giant Bomb guys, says, well, Backlart's a. 395 00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:47.920 Big boat guy. He loves his boat. 396 00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:50.079 Okay, what the fuck are you talking about? 397 00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:52.920 And what if I did love my boat, it's just. 398 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:54.920 Weird we would be hearing about it this way. 399 00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:57.640 Here's a lot you don't know about me. I have 400 00:20:57.680 --> 00:20:59.880 a private life. Do you ever think about that boat? 401 00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:00.599 Aren't private? 402 00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:01.640 What did did do you. 403 00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:03.599 Say about everyone else? Do you remember you can hide 404 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:03.920 a boat? 405 00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:08.799 Surprising me because because I said, like outside of video games, 406 00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:11.720 named the passions of like the Giant Bomb crew. And 407 00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:13.480 she didn't go to wrestling with me. She went to 408 00:21:13.559 --> 00:21:16.559 running with Mike. She didn't go to Disney, she went 409 00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:18.920 to Tiki. But she's also just going off her recent 410 00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:22.039 experiences with us. I think so, like recently in Portland. 411 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:24.240 I was running, Mike went to a tiki bar with her. 412 00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:26.599 I was grub You know, Greb loves talking about his kids, 413 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:28.640 so that's what she said with them. And then everything 414 00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:30.839 came to a screeching halt when she talked about Backlar 415 00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:32.119 and his boat enthusiasm. 416 00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:38.359 Look, Mary and I have private conversations. Perhaps one or 417 00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:41.160 two of these details slipped out of her mouth in 418 00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:42.240 a moment of weakness. 419 00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:44.400 Okay, I want to go on your boat. 420 00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:47.559 I might. I don't know if that's a thing. 421 00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:50.799 Do you have a toilet on the boat of the water? 422 00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:53.680 I don't. Most boats do depend on. 423 00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:54.680 Your laptops on there? 424 00:21:54.680 --> 00:21:57.759 Do you how sick they are?

I watched the 429 00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:18.319 New Spider Man movie. Holy Moly, good one. 430 00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:19.359 It's good. 431 00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:21.480 I liked it a lot. I don't want to spoil anything. 432 00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:22.079 I liked it a lot. 433 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:24.000 I was to see it on Sunday and I was 434 00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:25.160 sick and I couldn't go. 435 00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:28.039 I'm supposed to see it on Sunday, but I got 436 00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:30.279 busy with uh work stuff. We'll talk about it in 437 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:30.799 a second. 438 00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:33.599 Still Tom Holland you see the current one. 439 00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:35.119 Yeah, it's still Tom s heyder Man. 440 00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:39.480 Yeah. I was chatting it up with someone and she 441 00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:42.799 had asked, like, Kirsten Dunson, Toby Maguire, right, they're still 442 00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:46.920 in it. I'm like, oh nope, oh friend, no, they 443 00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:49.839 They've rebooted it two more times since Toby. 444 00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:52.039 So I have a I have a legit question. I 445 00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:54.640 was talking about this with someone and I was like, 446 00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:57.079 oh they They're like, oh, it was, it was good. 447 00:22:57.119 --> 00:22:59.640 You should see it, And I don't even I don't 448 00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:02.799 even think I can. Like, I think I have to 449 00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:06.279 watch at least three or four films before watching this 450 00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:09.599 because I don't The last spider joke in the last 451 00:23:09.640 --> 00:23:11.680 Spider Man movie I watched with Spider Man. 452 00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:16.279 Two, Spider Verse one, The Spider Verse one's really good. 453 00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:18.559 Oh yeah, that's those are all those those are? 454 00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:19.119 Yeah? 455 00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:21.920 Yeah, the last one was three with Toby maguire. 456 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:26.200 Yeah, So I'm I'm past due and Spider Man's like, 457 00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:32.079 my guy, Like, I'm I'm a the movies mean nothing. 458 00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:37.039 I don't fucking like Spider Man, and you can see 459 00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:38.319 these movies. 460 00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:44.400 The Shun guy to carry you against Tom Holland as well. Yeah, 461 00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:46.960 I guess it makes me allergic to Tom Holland. 462 00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:50.000 He's my guy. I didn't see his last six movies. 463 00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:54.599 No, No, that is the most sane reaction to backlar 464 00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:56.960 is in the right. If you like Spider Man, stay 465 00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:58.240 away from the Spider Man. 466 00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:02.200 Movies somehow validation of my interest in Spider Man. 467 00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:04.519 I really, because I'm a Spider Man guy too. You 468 00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:06.720 are okay to skip most of the Spider Man movies 469 00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:09.119 after that was fun. 470 00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:11.359 It was, you know, a little multiversey, but it was 471 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:12.920 the with them all showing. 472 00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:16.519 Up and yeah, I'm not the biggest fan of the 473 00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:19.319 Andrew Garfield Spider Man's. 474 00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:22.400 Whatever, So so then what should I watch? 475 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.039 I honestly think, uh, you can. I think you can 476 00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:30.160 just jump in on this one, Okay, I prefer that. Yeah. 477 00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:32.680 I like the director for this one. It's a more 478 00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:38.079 grounded Spider Man. He's not fighting some like gigantic world 479 00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:42.279 ending threat. It's just a dude, Okay you never had Yeah? 480 00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:46.680 Yeah, has anyone seen the Spider Man noir stuff? 481 00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:48.799 I I like it. 482 00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:51.599 Yeah, I'll just talk to a friend about that at 483 00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:54.079 a party because I'm just like, man like, culture is 484 00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:57.400 so weird because there was a Spider Man TV show 485 00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:00.559 starring Nick Cage and no one seemed to hair like 486 00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:02.599 it wasn't even like it wasn't even like a point 487 00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:07.240 of conversation. 488 00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:08.519 Just avoid. 489 00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:13.039 Yeah, but to be fair, it's Amazon, right, Yeah, I 490 00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:16.319 think that that's where shows go to death Amazon. 491 00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:18.519 If Disney has Spider. 492 00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:21.799 Man, well Disney doesn't have Spider Man, Sony has Spider Man. 493 00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:26.240 That was weird, Like Man and Spider Man were always weird, right, because. 494 00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:29.799 So now it is just Spider Man where they have 495 00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.400 to play ball with Sony on that stuff. I see, okay, but. 496 00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:37.119 But bigger picture, I just think like Amazon like cannot 497 00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:43.039 figure out a way to make TV accessible power. 498 00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:45.640 We're gonna I think we're gonna get into that later 499 00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:51.920 in the news. Uh yeah Amazon shows. Yeah, so uh yeah, 500 00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:54.119 I don't know. I didn't have anyone in my life 501 00:25:54.119 --> 00:25:56.240 to talk about the Spider Man More show, and I 502 00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:57.079 thought it was good. 503 00:25:57.480 --> 00:26:01.160 And there's like commercials even with you have Prime, Now 504 00:26:01.559 --> 00:26:04.519 what are they doing? What do you think you're doing? 505 00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:06.720 Yeah, I can't remember the last thing I went to 506 00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:09.440 Prime to like, Oh, I gotta watch. 507 00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:10.960 This for the world with ice Cube. 508 00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:17.000 Oh god, that was amazing. Holy shit, that was awesome. God, 509 00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:19.119 what incredible. Fuck. 510 00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:21.559 Oh that was the last thing to watch on Amazon. 511 00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:24.000 Actually and me too, maybe actually. 512 00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:28.839 Fantastic, fantastic. Well, gentlemen, I'm happy to be back with y'all. 513 00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:31.880 I'm happy to be viewing and watching things, but I'm 514 00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:35.079 especially happy to hear about video games. 515 00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:41.440 Games. 516 00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:50.599 Game Freak is a developer that Shawn and I are 517 00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:57.000 intimately acquainted with, and a review went up last night 518 00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:01.480 for Beast of Reincarnation, the game Freak game that is 519 00:27:01.480 --> 00:27:05.480 not Pokemon related. In our own Terribo, Sean Sean McDowell 520 00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:08.160 reviewed it. We did it a quick look. Quick Look 521 00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:10.079 is up on the site, so is the review. Go 522 00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:13.640 read that, Go watch the quick look where Sean and 523 00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:16.319 I get into it and Sean shares his thoughts. But Sean, 524 00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:19.200 tell the folks at home how you feel about Beast 525 00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:20.039 of Reincarnation. 526 00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:24.960 This is a bit of a weird one because so 527 00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:27.079 first of all, yeah, my reviews up. I gave it 528 00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:29.480 three and a half stars. That to me, I'm the 529 00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:31.480 giant bomb scale that we have right now equates to 530 00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:33.319 how I feel about the game. It's a good not 531 00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:36.039 great game. I was even feeling a little bit lower 532 00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:38.680 on that earlier in the game, and then you know, 533 00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:41.319 some things changed. They'll talk about that really like brought 534 00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:45.960 me around on aspects of it. So it's so unlike 535 00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:48.079 anything that game Freak has done, because they've done plenty 536 00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:50.880 of non Pokemon games throughout the years. Usually they put 537 00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:53.359 one out every like five or so years something like 538 00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:57.680 that that's not Pokemon, you know, like Genesis games like 539 00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:00.359 Pulseman to like Drill Doze around the GBA, to like 540 00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:02.920 Park Pocket Card Jockey and stuff that they have ideas 541 00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:05.240 sometimes that they want to put out there. And it's 542 00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:08.079 fun to be weird and like flex those creative muscles 543 00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:11.880 when you're not just pumping out annual Pokemon products, right, 544 00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:15.759 And so this one they always like a pretty like 545 00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:19.680 wild swing for them to do a like bloody, over 546 00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:24.519 the top kind of action game as souls elements in there, 547 00:28:24.599 --> 00:28:27.680 you know, very from Saft stuff of there's bonfires and 548 00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:30.400 an Estes Flask equivalent and early in the game, if 549 00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:32.400 you get hit like twice, you'll die, you know, stuff 550 00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:38.119 like that. Yeah, it's also just near Automata at home. 551 00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:42.359 Like everything about literally everything about it is just poke 552 00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:47.440 a post apocalyptic earth. It's overrun with nature of robots 553 00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:49.920 are running the place that are like kind of just 554 00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:53.119 taking over for humans and stuff like that. They're not 555 00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:55.720 even they're not even trying to hide it. Jan. I 556 00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:57.319 think the fun fact that you told me the other 557 00:28:57.359 --> 00:29:00.279 day is that the Japanese voice actor for Emma, the 558 00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:04.559 main character, is just to be in Japan, So that's 559 00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:05.240 kind of funny. 560 00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:08.440 I did find it interesting because the Quick Look we 561 00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:11.759 did it with the English voice actors, and I know 562 00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:14.759 that Emma's character is kind of supposed to be a 563 00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:19.359 little stoic, but the English voice acting specifically did feel 564 00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:21.759 a little stilted. 565 00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:25.240 More shit just sounds like samus and other m. It's 566 00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:25.839 not good. 567 00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:27.039 Oh no. 568 00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:31.640 But from like that preview event I went to, they 569 00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:34.440 encouraged to play with the Japanese voice acting, and it 570 00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:37.119 was a little night and day of like, oh, there's 571 00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:41.039 like dimension to the voice acting in Japanese versus what 572 00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:43.480 we listened to in the Quick Look. 573 00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:46.079 It is a very Japanese game, So I wonder if 574 00:29:46.079 --> 00:29:49.640 maybe the voice direction given with because language is different, 575 00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:52.720 you know, Japanese versus English, like things come across differently. 576 00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:55.519 Maybe just plays better in Japanese or something like that. 577 00:29:56.359 --> 00:29:59.319 And also friendly reminder with voice acting, bad voice actings 578 00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:01.920 usually there was all the bad voice direction. It's usually 579 00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:04.839 not the actors themselves. Yeah, but yeah, in terms of 580 00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:09.319 the game, it starts off too slow for my taste 581 00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:11.640 at least, Like I said, it's it's got some of 582 00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:14.480 those Souls elements in there. It's trying to be a 583 00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:18.079 little bit faster paced. You have movement options, and that's 584 00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:20.880 that's what really kept me going through the game, honestly, 585 00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:24.160 even when I wasn't really feeling the combays Emma. She 586 00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:26.799 so the world is like sort of overwhelm with nature, 587 00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:29.160 like I said, and that includes like the living beings, 588 00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:32.200 including Emma, where like her hair, she has almost like 589 00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:34.759 a Bayonetta thing going on, but instead of her hair 590 00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:37.599 being used for weapons or stuff like that, her hair 591 00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:40.200 can like turn into vines that she can then use 592 00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:44.039 to like boost herself like Mario using the hover nozzle 593 00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:45.920 and super marketside of all things. 594 00:30:46.079 --> 00:30:46.680 Yeah, yeah, it. 595 00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:48.640 Feels good to sort of just like boost yourself a 596 00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:52.240 little bit around the levels. She can extend them horizontally 597 00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:55.680 to create bridges. You can hang over enemies like off 598 00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:58.119 of rooftops and then like stealth kill them, and you 599 00:30:58.119 --> 00:30:59.960 can use it as a grappling code to like zip 600 00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:04.559 around levels. That is very, very fun and I always 601 00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:07.960 had good time with that. And then the combat interestingly 602 00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:11.839 goes from being that more punishing style of action game 603 00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:16.599 to there's a skilled tree literally because it's all about nature. 604 00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:21.039 And once that opens up, you get so many abilities 605 00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:23.519 to open up the combat. I think the biggest one 606 00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:27.200 is the game revolves around the stagger gauge. They call 607 00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:30.880 it the entanglement gauge because again nature, but sort of 608 00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:33.799 the concept here. Again, I don't play this type of 609 00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:35.759 more punishing action game. I don't know if others have 610 00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:38.039 done this and I missed it, but they thought, like 611 00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:40.160 this is the one like kind of unique and original 612 00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:43.039 idea that I enjoyed. Is they thought, what if the 613 00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:46.759 stagger gauge in a game was a resource. It's an 614 00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:50.200 all in one resource where you start a battle and 615 00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:52.880 you have a little bit of it, you perry attacks. 616 00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:55.759 It's just secoro paarrying, where like you can guard and 617 00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:58.920 they'll like diminish your stagger gauge. Or you can with 618 00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:01.720 every period hit you like build it up. But what 619 00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:03.359 if it was broken up into pips and you can 620 00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:05.799 use it like special moves, almost like super moves a 621 00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:07.839 fighting game or something where you can spend pips of 622 00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:11.839 it to do various things. And so once you go 623 00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:15.480 down the skill tree and expand the entanglement gauge, you 624 00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:18.359 get access to so many more things and you can 625 00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:20.599 choose how to spend it. You can either like fill 626 00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:22.319 it up to the max, like this is why I 627 00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:24.559 specked into. You have a really long gauge that then 628 00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:27.119 you fill up by parrying a lot, and then once 629 00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:30.240 you stagger the enemy or inflict an elemental blight on 630 00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:33.359 them like paralysis from electricity or something like that, you 631 00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:36.480 can then activate basically which time from Benetta where you 632 00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:39.440 just slow everything down, but Emma and her wolf companion 633 00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:41.839 Coup can just like wail on the enemy for a while. 634 00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:44.200 If you've built up a bunch of abilities, you can 635 00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:48.200 spend them all at once, or you can use the 636 00:32:48.359 --> 00:32:51.359 entanglement gauge to perform special moves. You can use it 637 00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:53.240 for a variety of different things. You can burn in 638 00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:56.960 different ways. I think that was interesting. It just takes 639 00:32:57.000 --> 00:32:59.119 too long to get to the point of being interesting. 640 00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:01.480 It was like half way through my playthrough where it 641 00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:03.720 really clicked, and I think that's a long time to 642 00:33:03.839 --> 00:33:07.839 be one type of game and then almost completely switches 643 00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:10.319 genre into a different type of action game, something that's 644 00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:13.400 much faster paced, which I appreciated that back half of 645 00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:17.119 the game. I just think it's a weird separation between 646 00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:19.480 two I haven't seen something quite like that. 647 00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:22.160 You highlighted this in the quick Look, Sean, and this 648 00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:25.680 was like an issue I had at the preview event. 649 00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:30.000 But at the skill tree system, your skill points between 650 00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:33.880 Emma and Who are a shared pool, so correct it 651 00:33:33.920 --> 00:33:36.519 will take a little bit longer to like really invest 652 00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:40.920 and like get deep into either one skill tree if 653 00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:42.720 you want to go in one specific direction. 654 00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:48.039 Yes, and eventually I wasn't really thinking about why it 655 00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:50.960 was happening specifically, but early on, you only have so 656 00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:53.640 many skill points to work with, and so leveling up 657 00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:55.559 Emma a little bit or coop a little bit, or 658 00:33:55.839 --> 00:33:57.519 focusing on one of them, that's a choice you have 659 00:33:57.599 --> 00:33:59.440 to make. But people can even see in the quick 660 00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:01.480 look around like a third a way through a game, 661 00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:04.000 I just like blinked and I suddenly have like one 662 00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:06.079 hundred scale points to use, and I'm like, WHOA, when 663 00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:09.159 did that happen? And then so that is around the 664 00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:10.320 turning point around. 665 00:34:10.039 --> 00:34:11.159 That way my playthrough. 666 00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:14.199 My play through was around like twenty three hours. I 667 00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:17.079 think Steam says I came in at twenty three hours 668 00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:17.800 on the dot. 669 00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:21.000 Pretty long for this. Yeah, yeah, it's a little bit longer. 670 00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:23.719 They even, you know, pre release, they prepared me for 671 00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:26.199 potentially thirty hours and more depending on how much you 672 00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:28.840 get into some of the more side stuff. But yeah, mine, 673 00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:30.639 mine was a little over twenty which I think is 674 00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:34.599 maybe right for a game of the style of a 675 00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:38.159 sort of from Softy kind of thing. And I yeah, 676 00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:40.239 but about halfway is when I started getting a lot 677 00:34:40.239 --> 00:34:42.079 of scale points to really open things up in that way, 678 00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:43.920 I didn't have to choose between Amla and KUP, and 679 00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:46.440 I think that the game is as best when it's 680 00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:48.920 doing that, and I kind of just wish it was 681 00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:51.280 that way the entire game through. 682 00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:54.840 Sure, Sure, near the end of your time with it, Sean, 683 00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:58.000 would you say it started feeling more character actionly, like 684 00:34:58.000 --> 00:34:59.840 a Bayonetta, like a Devil May Cry? 685 00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:04.599 Definitely, Yeah, Because, like I mentioned, not having played games 686 00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:06.800 the way this starts. At least, I was kind of 687 00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:10.480 asking her on like subtly, do any of the frump 688 00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:13.000 sooff games really have like skill trees or like games 689 00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:15.400 sort of playing off of them. Do they? It's more 690 00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:18.719 about like specking into a build through like stats and 691 00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:19.800 then like equipment. 692 00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:24.679 Right, Yeah, has like a kind of an ability tree 693 00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:26.840 and stuff, but it's not a huge deal. 694 00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:27.199 Yeah. 695 00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:30.800 Yeah, this is very much like first of all, if 696 00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:34.199 you played Stillar Blade, it's very similar to that, or 697 00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:37.679 like an action RPG skill tree like the Foul Fantasy 698 00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:41.599 seven remake trilogy, which you know, there's an element of 699 00:35:41.639 --> 00:35:44.840 that in the combat too. With a coup where you 700 00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:47.360 probably saw us in trailers and stuff, you can every 701 00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:49.519 time you parry, you are in a point for coup, 702 00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:51.400 and then when you have a number of points, you 703 00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:53.360 can then command Coup to do like sort of a 704 00:35:53.719 --> 00:35:56.400 just assist skill. They never get too far into that, 705 00:35:56.599 --> 00:35:58.440 which they maybe would done a little bit more of it. 706 00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:00.559 I think it could be more interesting if they did 707 00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:04.360 combine the frum Soft with the character action with f 708 00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:07.519 F seven remake a little bit more by utilizing Coup 709 00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:11.960 as your assist, by like commanding your your teammates a 710 00:36:11.960 --> 00:36:16.760 little bit more. But yeah, it's a very like action 711 00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:20.239 RPG or character action skilled tree, where the various branches 712 00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:25.280 go out to either you know, this division of leveling 713 00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:27.719 up all your meters or this division of leveling up 714 00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:32.199 your range attacks, this division of leveling up your melee attacks. 715 00:36:32.199 --> 00:36:34.440 And then it is kind of the funny thing about 716 00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:36.639 doing a literal tree is that all that stuff is 717 00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:38.559 the roots that go down and then the branches that 718 00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:41.639 go up. Is every time Emma defeats an enemy, a 719 00:36:41.719 --> 00:36:44.719 literal flower will blossom and open up a new branch 720 00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:48.079 of the skill tree with new abilities for you to learn. 721 00:36:48.119 --> 00:36:51.079 sEH, I forgot to I forgot to ask. Do the 722 00:36:51.239 --> 00:36:54.000 weapons ever switch switch up anything? I know that you 723 00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:56.239 get different ranged weaponss, you get a bon and arrow, 724 00:36:56.280 --> 00:36:58.000 so it's just the sword the whole time. 725 00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:01.400 It's so it's just the sword. There are no other 726 00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:06.119 like weapon types. What changes about them is elemental affinity 727 00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:08.280 jan you point up had to find that. Of course 728 00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:11.480 game freak would like lean into elemental affinity Pokemon and 729 00:37:11.480 --> 00:37:14.519 everything like that. But the various weapons do give you 730 00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:23.239 different ways to stack stacks of burn, of paralysis, of binding, poison, 731 00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:26.360 various elemental things, and they also, like in the Lake game, 732 00:37:26.639 --> 00:37:30.760 combine those so you can actually like split your stacks 733 00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:34.800 between Like instead of every strike building burn, what if 734 00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:37.320 instead every strike builds a little bit of poison, a 735 00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:40.320 little bit of paralysis, and then you know, you know, 736 00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:41.960 you can hit them with two at once a little 737 00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:45.199 bit later on. So it's they could have done more 738 00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:47.360 with that as well, even just having like, for example, 739 00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:49.840 there's only one attack button, which isn't the end of 740 00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:53.719 the world, but it's they could have had something heavier. 741 00:37:54.639 --> 00:37:57.159 I think the only thing that really changes about weapons 742 00:37:57.159 --> 00:37:59.360 is that you do have ranged weapons as well, So 743 00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:01.559 you have a bow arrow and you can choose between 744 00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:05.320 either a fast firing crossbow or like a traditional bow 745 00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:07.280 and arrow that you know takes longer to load, but 746 00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:09.719 you can do more damage. But it really really the 747 00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:13.079 weapons just are differentiated by the elemental stuff. 748 00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:16.400 I'm still curious to check it out. The way that 749 00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:19.119 you wound up blanding with it slightly on the more 750 00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:21.480 positive side near the end of your time with it, 751 00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:24.400 Sean is still kind of incentivizing me. And also just 752 00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:27.280 the general morbid curiosity about checking out a game freak 753 00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:30.920 game where that is not a Pokemon game, and I. 754 00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:33.400 Think I think it is. We did say this in 755 00:38:33.559 --> 00:38:36.559 quick look. I think it's you know, I hate saying 756 00:38:36.559 --> 00:38:39.280 this about game because I know it's detrimental to the 757 00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:42.960 game's perception. But it does feel like a Steam Sale game, 758 00:38:43.159 --> 00:38:45.639 a PlayStation Plus game. You still get a little bound 759 00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:48.039 that Game Pass subscription. It's out in game past day one, 760 00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:49.719 so you could like hap in there while you still 761 00:38:49.760 --> 00:38:52.800 got that sub going on. You know, However, you can 762 00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:55.079 approach this game a way that makes sense. Maybe just 763 00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:58.480 watch your favorite streamers who like action games play first, 764 00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:01.440 like see what Soul's has to say about it, or 765 00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:04.280 if you're like me and you prefer character action games, 766 00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:07.239 see what like a DMC streamer has to say about 767 00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:10.000 See see what the people who you align with say 768 00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:12.119 about this one. Because it's it's a bit of a 769 00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:15.360 weird one and the reactions were mostly around, you know 770 00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:17.519 how I felt about but they did vary a little bit, 771 00:39:17.559 --> 00:39:19.360 so I think people might feel differently about this. 772 00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:22.639 Yeah, Beast of Reincarnation feels like it has a lot 773 00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:25.920 of different games in its DNA And speaking about DNA, 774 00:39:26.440 --> 00:39:31.119 Dan Reichert, you've been investigating the body with pathogenic. 775 00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:35.719 Uh yes, it's hey, it's a fun concept whenever. It's 776 00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:37.920 like a thing is really small and goes into a 777 00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:41.519 body and goes around shooting stuff. And you got avid 778 00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:43.440 docs for any s. I don't think anyone ever played that, 779 00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:46.760 but me, uh Innerspace the Martin short movie. 780 00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:48.280 Uh you know, like. 781 00:39:48.440 --> 00:39:51.960 Yeah, body Comers and Epcot Oh. 782 00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:55.360 God, yes, but but the inner space is better. 783 00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:56.159 Yeah. 784 00:39:56.280 --> 00:39:59.519 Rugrats episode with the watermelon seed a classic. 785 00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:02.559 It's a good go with the io stylin level where 786 00:40:02.559 --> 00:40:04.639 you go into the stomach and you gotta shoot the thing. 787 00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:05.119 That's fun. 788 00:40:06.119 --> 00:40:08.800 Yeah, that's what this is. It's a twin stick rogue light. 789 00:40:09.159 --> 00:40:13.280 You are like a little amoeba or something, some little 790 00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:17.400 molecule body thing, and you are evolving and growing your 791 00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:19.360 like a virus or something. And so it's almost like 792 00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:21.320 a pterotech legion type thing where it's like as you 793 00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:24.280 level up, you're evolving and getting more like nodes and 794 00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:27.400 everything you can attach, like oh, these flagella you can 795 00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:28.960 put on the back of you to to kind of 796 00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:31.400 propel you and move faster. On the front, you get 797 00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:33.000 these little like you know, things that this thing's like 798 00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:34.760 a shotgun. And then on the side. You can make 799 00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:36.679 it more like this is like a machine gun, or 800 00:40:36.719 --> 00:40:40.159 here's a laser, and this one is a thing you 801 00:40:40.199 --> 00:40:43.360 connect to your mitochondria and anything that's connected to that 802 00:40:43.639 --> 00:40:46.719 will have arcing energy that attacks everything around you. So 803 00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:50.039 you are like injury in through the skin going up 804 00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:52.559 the leg. There's like us in Testine Boss. There's a 805 00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:55.440 stomach boss. So like the biomes of the game are 806 00:40:55.480 --> 00:40:57.079 like as you're working your way up, I don't know 807 00:40:57.119 --> 00:40:59.079 field goal is to get up and destroy the brain 808 00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:03.199 or whatever. But it's just a really good gimmick. Everything's 809 00:41:03.239 --> 00:41:06.639 just very readable. Like the art style is very it's 810 00:41:06.760 --> 00:41:09.280 very just stark, the different like contrasts and colors and stuff, and. 811 00:41:09.559 --> 00:41:12.480 It's just it's mixes up a lot of things. 812 00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:15.119 I like, like just the concept of the theming and everything, 813 00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:17.239 but also like the almost like mini shoot adventures kind 814 00:41:17.239 --> 00:41:20.000 of twin stick element and the rogue light stuff. You 815 00:41:20.039 --> 00:41:22.480 are unlocking stuff. There is persistent upgrades with like your 816 00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:24.679 collecting DNA during your runs that you can use to 817 00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:28.599 you know, expand a skill tree, unlock new Amiba things. 818 00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:30.320 It's it's very good. 819 00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:31.960 I've only done a handful of runs right now, but 820 00:41:32.079 --> 00:41:33.480 I can tell I'm getting into it. 821 00:41:33.800 --> 00:41:35.199 Yeah, Fanta, it's fun. 822 00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:38.079 Yeah. There's a quick look for it on the website 823 00:41:38.119 --> 00:41:39.440 now with Chuck and grub. 824 00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:43.199 Oh, I'll see you guys are up to okay, Yeah, yeah, 825 00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:46.199 I want to check this bad boy out. Looks pretty fun, 826 00:41:46.280 --> 00:41:47.960 I do. I do kind of like that idea, like 827 00:41:48.039 --> 00:41:50.480 let's go inside the human body. The human body is 828 00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:52.320 its own little weird world. 829 00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:57.880 That is very, very true. Seeing about weird worlds. I 830 00:41:57.920 --> 00:42:03.639 continue to be fascinated and appreciate the weird world of Splatoon. 831 00:42:04.440 --> 00:42:08.000 I've been playing Splatoon Raiders, Sean, so have you, Mike. 832 00:42:08.119 --> 00:42:09.760 You reviewed this a couple of weeks ago. Now on 833 00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:11.880 the website there's a quick look of it as well. 834 00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:18.199 Splatoon Raiders. What an interesting Jimmy jam huh uh Mike 835 00:42:18.360 --> 00:42:20.960 you what score did you wind up giving it? Again? 836 00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:22.840 It was there three and a half out of five 837 00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:24.559 where it was like yeah, kind of like what Sean 838 00:42:24.559 --> 00:42:26.199 said earlier about like a cent out of time. I'm like, 839 00:42:26.239 --> 00:42:27.920 that's a good not great game. I think it's a 840 00:42:27.960 --> 00:42:31.039 game that's fun, does a lot of things well, but 841 00:42:31.440 --> 00:42:35.039 nothing exceptionally nothing like stood out as like whoa wow, 842 00:42:35.119 --> 00:42:38.199 that that that thing right? I think it's Yeah, I 843 00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:41.480 think it's good, just not not stand out for me. 844 00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:46.000 I think I feel about the same. I maybe like 845 00:42:46.079 --> 00:42:50.440 a little I would go a little stronger. Three and 846 00:42:50.440 --> 00:42:52.840 a half out of stars for me, I think it. 847 00:42:53.440 --> 00:42:56.280 I think it's a really pretty looking switch to game, 848 00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:00.239 except you know, the beaches can feel little bit land 849 00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:02.760 when you get into those like dungeons that you're crawling into, 850 00:43:02.920 --> 00:43:06.800 and the Salmanid's designs and all the paint and goop 851 00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:10.480 spilling everywhere. I think, if anything, what I'm more excited 852 00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:14.400 post Splatoon Raiders is how they may potentially spice up 853 00:43:14.440 --> 00:43:19.159 and switch up the combat in a future Splatoon multiplayer 854 00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:22.320 shooter game, like with the different gadgets you get and everything, 855 00:43:22.360 --> 00:43:25.039 like the different styles of tanks, if they ever choose 856 00:43:25.079 --> 00:43:29.679 to implement that into the game, Like I would love 857 00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:32.719 to use some of like the splatchet or like the 858 00:43:33.880 --> 00:43:37.159 jump that you get, and like the weird Superman punch 859 00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:42.920 you get in Splatoon Raiders. Yeah, this felt like a 860 00:43:43.039 --> 00:43:46.400 very good game to play in like Recovery while post 861 00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:48.840 hospital of just like you can turn your brain off 862 00:43:48.880 --> 00:43:51.679 and like it's chill. It's chill. You can play a 863 00:43:51.679 --> 00:43:54.639 couple levels you can revisit a couple levels. I think 864 00:43:54.880 --> 00:43:58.360 the part that I was not enjoying is how much 865 00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:01.880 stress it starts to add with like the timing element 866 00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:05.320 of like, hey, the take it's at fifty percent, you 867 00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:07.159 only got thirty more seconds to fill it up all 868 00:44:07.199 --> 00:44:07.480 the way. 869 00:44:08.320 --> 00:44:10.599 And I'm like that that is usually the roadblock, right, 870 00:44:10.639 --> 00:44:11.880 That's kind of when it's like, oh, I guess I 871 00:44:11.880 --> 00:44:14.760 better go back some other levels and gonna make myself stronger. 872 00:44:14.760 --> 00:44:18.199 It's it's not survivability, which is you know, people like 873 00:44:18.320 --> 00:44:22.760 joke about not putting upgrade points into health this game especially, 874 00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:24.880 it's like, forget about that. You need to be able 875 00:44:24.880 --> 00:44:26.880 to do a lot of damage to some of these 876 00:44:26.960 --> 00:44:28.840 levels because there's a time limit. You need to kill 877 00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:31.760 things fast. It's not like it kind of just comes 878 00:44:31.800 --> 00:44:33.639 down to learning. Like you know, you have like that 879 00:44:33.760 --> 00:44:36.679 super move with the meter, It's like, all right, save 880 00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:38.960 that for the boss, I guess, and just kind of 881 00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:39.719 throw it out there. 882 00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:43.920 Yeah, Sean, how do you wind of landing with Splatoon Raiders? 883 00:44:44.320 --> 00:44:44.480 Well? 884 00:44:44.519 --> 00:44:45.840 I am I am curious. 885 00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:50.039 Jan. How into the Splatoon series are you, Like, have 886 00:44:50.119 --> 00:44:52.039 you played a lot of it? Are you more multiplayer 887 00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:53.039 versus single. 888 00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:57.159 Player primarily only ever multiplayer. I've dabbled in some of 889 00:44:57.199 --> 00:45:00.719 the single player okay and like, but it just winds 890 00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:04.800 up not being for me because of my introduction to Splatoon. 891 00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:08.119 Just much more of a social multiplayer aspect than like 892 00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:10.840 the solo campaign where you are on your own. 893 00:45:11.440 --> 00:45:13.840 That's definitely how most people play, because that's how it's 894 00:45:13.880 --> 00:45:18.239 really intended. But I think I lean where Mike is 895 00:45:18.559 --> 00:45:22.679 where I've always preferred the single player, and that's like 896 00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:25.639 the thing that shines for me in these games and 897 00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:28.599 is why I like Splatoon. I still play the multiplayer, 898 00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:30.199 but for me, the single player is like why I 899 00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:33.920 show up to the series. And so with Raiders, you know, 900 00:45:34.079 --> 00:45:36.639 they switch to the genre a little bit. It's still 901 00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:40.000 a shooter, right, but it's mostly single player. You can 902 00:45:40.480 --> 00:45:43.440 play at co op, but it's mostly single player focused. 903 00:45:44.320 --> 00:45:47.239 It's a looter shooter kind of thing. It's not what 904 00:45:47.440 --> 00:45:50.760 I want a Splatoon. It doesn't have like the puzzle 905 00:45:50.840 --> 00:45:53.639 platforming elements of the single player. It doesn't have that 906 00:45:53.719 --> 00:45:56.159 sort of you know, level based figure out how to 907 00:45:56.239 --> 00:45:58.400 get to the objective. It's kind of just you know, 908 00:45:58.639 --> 00:46:01.519 get to the end and like get a currency, defeat 909 00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:03.840 a boss or something. It's much more straightforward than that, 910 00:46:04.239 --> 00:46:06.559 and even to the point of like, yeah, you're kind 911 00:46:06.559 --> 00:46:10.119 of just walking forward. You're not really messing around with 912 00:46:10.280 --> 00:46:12.159 the pipes as much. 913 00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:15.519 There's a real level design, right, Like there's no but 914 00:46:15.639 --> 00:46:18.000 like it does. It almost could be anything. It doesn't matter. 915 00:46:18.320 --> 00:46:22.920 I watch, it's just ground jutting out of the waters. 916 00:46:23.039 --> 00:46:25.559 There's not much to every level, at least where I'm at. 917 00:46:25.559 --> 00:46:30.119 I'm only like four hours in. Yeah, it doesn't change much, 918 00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:31.559 got it. I don't think this is not done on 919 00:46:31.559 --> 00:46:34.880 my line. It's just not like necessarily giving me what 920 00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:38.199 I want. Now that being said, it is still Splatoon. 921 00:46:38.360 --> 00:46:41.480 It still looks, feels, and sounds like Splatoon, and so 922 00:46:41.559 --> 00:46:44.639 I still maybe I'm a little more positive because I'm 923 00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:46.079 just enjoying playing in our Splatoon. 924 00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:48.280 But it feels great to play exactly like those core 925 00:46:48.760 --> 00:46:50.480 mechanics feel really good. 926 00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:52.840 Especially when you find your weapon or like you switch 927 00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:54.840 you a different weapon that you know you want to 928 00:46:54.880 --> 00:46:56.400 try out for a little bit. You're like, oh, wa 929 00:46:56.480 --> 00:46:58.760 is second that I didn't realize I would like this one, 930 00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:01.039 Or they have a modified new one hearing Raiders, and 931 00:47:01.079 --> 00:47:04.880 that's really cool. And this game actually is making me 932 00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:08.320 like deep cut, you know, the Idol group for three, 933 00:47:08.599 --> 00:47:10.800 because I did not like them in three, but yeah, 934 00:47:10.920 --> 00:47:13.119 suddenly here like they all I just feel like their 935 00:47:13.159 --> 00:47:15.280 personalities are showing a little bit more and I like 936 00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:17.159 all of them a whole bunch. Like you know, when 937 00:47:17.159 --> 00:47:18.719 Big Man is like I don't want to stay on 938 00:47:18.719 --> 00:47:20.199 the island, I want to go home and play my 939 00:47:20.280 --> 00:47:23.400 Dragon Quest three or whatever, I'm like, oh, relatable, I 940 00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:27.400 feel that. Yes, same, Yeah, so I'm I'm enjoying my time, 941 00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:29.800 but it's just, yeah, it's not what I want. Askatoon 942 00:47:29.840 --> 00:47:32.360 as a pretty big fan of the single player mode, yeah. 943 00:47:32.199 --> 00:47:34.760 I was bummed out by the level design now that 944 00:47:34.840 --> 00:47:38.119 you mentioned it, because like I would start to explore 945 00:47:38.159 --> 00:47:40.760 and look around only to find like the only thing 946 00:47:40.800 --> 00:47:42.559 I'm gonna find is just a couple of crates and 947 00:47:42.599 --> 00:47:43.440 a couple like. 948 00:47:43.400 --> 00:47:46.079 There's a reality like like those like kind of linear 949 00:47:46.159 --> 00:47:48.039 levels have like kind of like one or two like 950 00:47:48.679 --> 00:47:51.840 very slight op eaten path things to find, but they're 951 00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:54.599 not hard to discover. It's not like it's not it 952 00:47:54.679 --> 00:47:56.679 is not an exploration game at all. 953 00:47:56.719 --> 00:47:56.960 It is. 954 00:47:57.079 --> 00:47:59.800 Yeah, it's very just action focus, and yeah, you know, 955 00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:02.519 I guess I appreciate them sticking with that. And there 956 00:48:02.519 --> 00:48:04.960 are some of those levels where oh, try out this 957 00:48:05.079 --> 00:48:07.519 gadget and this is gonna be a little bit more gimmicky, 958 00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:10.400 and I do appreciate those, but even they don't feel 959 00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:13.239 as fleshed out as some of the more interesting levels 960 00:48:13.239 --> 00:48:16.400 and say the Octo Expansion or whatever. 961 00:48:16.159 --> 00:48:20.239 It was, some of those gadget level specific one dungeons 962 00:48:20.519 --> 00:48:23.440 were a little frustrating for me, like I couldn't nail 963 00:48:23.480 --> 00:48:25.360 the timing of some of them for whatever reason. 964 00:48:26.760 --> 00:48:31.480 Are very fun, yeah, so yeah, to train you on 965 00:48:31.639 --> 00:48:33.880 using the new gadgets and new weapons, they'll have like 966 00:48:33.960 --> 00:48:37.440 challenge levels that are individual and it's like a puzzle 967 00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:39.840 challenge for you overcome just in case anyone doesn't know 968 00:48:39.920 --> 00:48:43.000 or whatever. And those are I think those are really fun. 969 00:48:43.159 --> 00:48:45.840 I really enjoy my time with those because I think 970 00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:50.559 they add much needed variety that the individual levels don't 971 00:48:50.599 --> 00:48:54.400 have as much. But real quick on the exploration, Mike, 972 00:48:54.440 --> 00:48:57.599 I had this one moment where I was on like 973 00:48:58.159 --> 00:49:00.719 I got to like the volcano area and then you 974 00:49:00.760 --> 00:49:02.880 start one of the levels like higher up and then 975 00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:05.320 you like drop down off of well not too tall 976 00:49:05.320 --> 00:49:07.159 of a cliff, but you drop off a little cliff 977 00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:09.320 and you're supposed to just keep walking forward. I was like, 978 00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:11.880 this is a s Platoon game. If this was Splatoon 979 00:49:11.920 --> 00:49:13.920 single player, I would turn around and there would be 980 00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:17.440 a secret like it built into that cliff side, because 981 00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:20.360 that's what you do. You They don't, you know, the 982 00:49:20.400 --> 00:49:22.760 average player isn't going to look behind them to see 983 00:49:23.239 --> 00:49:25.920 what's back there, And like in Splatoon, I know if 984 00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:27.719 I look back there, there's going to be crates for me, 985 00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:29.920 a break open, and there's going to be one of 986 00:49:29.960 --> 00:49:32.840 the collectibles. In a level, I look back there and 987 00:49:32.920 --> 00:49:35.679 there's a painting on the wall instead of cool. That's 988 00:49:35.920 --> 00:49:39.039 that's But that's the difference between these games. It's like, Okay, 989 00:49:39.360 --> 00:49:42.599 someone on the dev team knows that in a Splatoon game, 990 00:49:42.840 --> 00:49:45.000 I'm going to look back there if I've played these before. 991 00:49:45.639 --> 00:49:48.000 But the level design of this game dictates that they're 992 00:49:48.039 --> 00:49:50.199 not going to actually put anything there. And I'm like, Ah, 993 00:49:50.239 --> 00:49:52.360 that's the difference between this and the previous games. 994 00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:57.559 Yeah, bummer. Yeah. The last thing I want to say 995 00:49:57.599 --> 00:50:00.880 about Splatoon Raiders I am enjoying it. I would like 996 00:50:01.000 --> 00:50:03.599 to perhaps maybe we do a multiplayer stream sometime in 997 00:50:03.639 --> 00:50:05.159 the near future. If we have like the phone, we 998 00:50:05.159 --> 00:50:07.719 should do it, right, yeah? Quiet, Yeah, a couple levels. 999 00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:13.960 This game reminds me so much of Ratchet Deadlocked. 1000 00:50:14.559 --> 00:50:18.639 Remember I never did that one. 1001 00:50:18.760 --> 00:50:20.639 Yeah, where it's like, hey, we're gonna take all the 1002 00:50:20.639 --> 00:50:22.599 things you like from those games and just make it 1003 00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:25.000 like a run based or like a level to level 1004 00:50:25.519 --> 00:50:26.760 arena type of thing. 1005 00:50:27.599 --> 00:50:29.480 That's a good call. Yeah, I think you're right about that. 1006 00:50:29.960 --> 00:50:33.159 Yeah, and nothing bad against it at all. I liked 1007 00:50:33.280 --> 00:50:36.760 Ratchet Deadlock. You know, they did take away one of 1008 00:50:36.800 --> 00:50:41.440 my favorite parts, which is clank what the relationship? But 1009 00:50:41.719 --> 00:50:45.360 interesting game, interesting game, just like splatteen Raiders that is 1010 00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:48.280 for It's all right, Oh yes, you're right. Uh speaking 1011 00:50:48.280 --> 00:50:53.960 about looking around levels and clicking around for secrets, Mike Manatti, 1012 00:50:54.079 --> 00:50:56.840 you are also looking at pointing and clicking looking for 1013 00:50:56.880 --> 00:50:58.840 secrets in Endocopeia. 1014 00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:03.039 Jeff Grub actually told me that I should play this game. 1015 00:51:03.119 --> 00:51:07.239 This is a pretty new indie game, point and click 1016 00:51:07.519 --> 00:51:11.280 adventure style that's sort of designed to look like those 1017 00:51:11.320 --> 00:51:16.840 sort of early nineties almost edutainment games. But of course 1018 00:51:16.840 --> 00:51:20.639 it's like, oh, it's a bit lackier than that. It's 1019 00:51:21.079 --> 00:51:24.880 it's kind of absurdist, right, sure, so a little bit 1020 00:51:25.199 --> 00:51:27.400 of a little bit of like that un until energy, 1021 00:51:27.400 --> 00:51:30.480 but even further than that, dare I say some of 1022 00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:35.719 that new ground splash energy that maybe isn't everybody's Jimmy Jam. 1023 00:51:36.079 --> 00:51:39.280 I know I could sometimes be in the mood for 1024 00:51:39.320 --> 00:51:42.559 that silliness, although like, sometimes things are so absurdist that 1025 00:51:42.559 --> 00:51:44.960 I can feel like, well, anything can happen and nothing matters, 1026 00:51:45.280 --> 00:51:47.840 which is hard for a puzzle game. Whe're trying to 1027 00:51:47.880 --> 00:51:51.880 parse out the logic of a place. But still this 1028 00:51:52.199 --> 00:51:53.960 game is designed that's a way that what you need 1029 00:51:54.000 --> 00:51:56.920 to do at any given point is relatively too hard 1030 00:51:57.480 --> 00:52:02.000 to parse out. There's also a hipboard littening to tip 1031 00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:04.440 He's he's a sign with a face you kind of 1032 00:52:04.440 --> 00:52:09.639 summon him whenever you need help with anything. But I 1033 00:52:09.679 --> 00:52:11.239 really like the look of this one, just kind of 1034 00:52:11.280 --> 00:52:14.920 like being weird and looking like a old school point 1035 00:52:14.920 --> 00:52:17.320 click adventure game than occasionally doing things like having the 1036 00:52:17.360 --> 00:52:23.280 really weird early style uh three rendered cut scene things 1037 00:52:23.320 --> 00:52:26.199 and whatever. It cuts to that that's strange. Every once 1038 00:52:26.199 --> 00:52:27.880 in a while try to get you with a jump 1039 00:52:27.920 --> 00:52:31.119 scare of just something looking real freaking weird, and that 1040 00:52:31.119 --> 00:52:33.920 stuff is also funded weird mini games too, where all 1041 00:52:33.920 --> 00:52:35.760 of a sudden you have a boss fight and it's 1042 00:52:35.960 --> 00:52:39.079 a little punch out esque for a moment, all right, 1043 00:52:39.519 --> 00:52:43.039 something like that out of nowhere. Some of the puzzles 1044 00:52:43.079 --> 00:52:45.480 were good. Like the best puzzle so far, there was 1045 00:52:45.519 --> 00:52:48.239 like a theater with these colored seats, and each time 1046 00:52:48.239 --> 00:52:50.239 I sat down in a seat, it would show a 1047 00:52:50.280 --> 00:52:54.400 short video a song about a clown. It talk about 1048 00:52:54.400 --> 00:52:57.239 how they either hurt themselves or died. And then I 1049 00:52:57.360 --> 00:53:00.559 found a whack a mole thing with colored clouds where 1050 00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:03.320 I could either hurt them or kill them. I was like, oh, 1051 00:53:03.360 --> 00:53:06.159 I need to learn from the theater which clowns dies, 1052 00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:09.239 and then like translate that to the whack a moles 1053 00:53:09.679 --> 00:53:10.199 you know, right? 1054 00:53:10.440 --> 00:53:12.400 Can I share something very personal real quick? 1055 00:53:12.679 --> 00:53:13.119 Of course? 1056 00:53:13.800 --> 00:53:16.079 Yes, I think I understand the clown thing. 1057 00:53:16.119 --> 00:53:19.920 Now, like you about not liking. 1058 00:53:19.920 --> 00:53:23.760 Page jam No, no, no, the other the complete opposite 1059 00:53:23.800 --> 00:53:24.119 of that much. 1060 00:53:24.239 --> 00:53:26.599 Oh no, you're attracted to clowns. 1061 00:53:27.440 --> 00:53:28.159 I think I get it. 1062 00:53:28.920 --> 00:53:31.199 Oh are you scared or you will? 1063 00:53:31.280 --> 00:53:35.239 Are you're attracted?

I'm just I wasn't shy. Kind of 1082 00:54:18.559 --> 00:54:21.239 damn thing, gotcha? I saw you googling. I got worried. 1083 00:54:21.719 --> 00:54:22.360 I just wanted to. 1084 00:54:22.280 --> 00:54:25.320 Point out for this game, you googling. We all know, 1085 00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:27.920 we all know where that goes. I wanted to point 1086 00:54:27.920 --> 00:54:31.679 out this game came out one week ago. It is 1087 00:54:31.719 --> 00:54:34.440 a fifteen dollars game on Steam, so not nothing but 1088 00:54:34.519 --> 00:54:36.440 still indie price. But you know, not the kind of 1089 00:54:36.440 --> 00:54:40.239 thing that everyone's going to own. It's overwhelmingly positive reviews, 1090 00:54:40.280 --> 00:54:43.440 with almost nineteen hundred reviews, Like that's crazy. 1091 00:54:43.519 --> 00:54:45.239 I'm trying to figure out you, because it's like it's 1092 00:54:45.239 --> 00:54:47.039 popping out a little bit to the point where Grab 1093 00:54:47.079 --> 00:54:48.760 heard about it and recommended to me, and I'm trying 1094 00:54:48.760 --> 00:54:50.719 to figure out where that happened. It looks like it's 1095 00:54:50.800 --> 00:54:55.440 just a very small developer who's he has, Like his 1096 00:54:55.519 --> 00:54:58.000 last game in twenty twenty three is called Pika Yun 1097 00:54:58.159 --> 00:55:00.360 Dreams and it also did really also had like a 1098 00:55:00.360 --> 00:55:02.679 lot of really good reviews. So maybe I don't know, 1099 00:55:02.719 --> 00:55:05.880 maybe this Andy developer's just somewhat well known. I don't know. 1100 00:55:05.960 --> 00:55:09.000 I don't know how this has kind of gotten some attention, 1101 00:55:09.719 --> 00:55:11.519 but yeah, you know, if you have an affinity for 1102 00:55:11.559 --> 00:55:14.199 old point and quick games like me, I think you 1103 00:55:14.280 --> 00:55:17.800 will like it again. Like almost during the game, I 1104 00:55:17.840 --> 00:55:20.119 find myself at different points of being up for some 1105 00:55:20.239 --> 00:55:22.559 of it's a bullshit with the whole like, oh man, 1106 00:55:22.679 --> 00:55:25.679 it's real weird, and all of a sudden, I'm like, 1107 00:55:25.840 --> 00:55:27.760 I like how it's weird. That lot of times I'm 1108 00:55:27.760 --> 00:55:30.679 sort of rolling my eyes at how weird it is. 1109 00:55:31.559 --> 00:55:34.480 But it's definitely has been enjoyable so far. 1110 00:55:34.760 --> 00:55:38.800 Okay, cool cool, cool cool. I'd be interested in seeing 1111 00:55:38.840 --> 00:55:44.480 more of that game down the line. Folks. You know, 1112 00:55:44.639 --> 00:55:48.400 I was had some health complications and everything. I've been 1113 00:55:49.400 --> 00:55:53.519 on the mending process, and part of that mending is 1114 00:55:53.559 --> 00:55:56.719 figuring out that I'm getting winded just walking down the block, 1115 00:55:56.840 --> 00:55:59.760 you know, fingy's crossed that. Continue to heal up and everything, 1116 00:55:59.760 --> 00:56:02.599 get my blood levels back up. So the best thing 1117 00:56:02.679 --> 00:56:06.039 to do is to go for a big walk with 1118 00:56:06.079 --> 00:56:11.039 my friends in Big Walk, the biggest of the biggest 1119 00:56:11.039 --> 00:56:14.599 of walks. Uh, mister backl are you you went to 1120 00:56:14.639 --> 00:56:16.760 a virtual pre event You've checked this out, but then 1121 00:56:16.840 --> 00:56:21.159 the rest of the GB owners uh explored the world 1122 00:56:21.559 --> 00:56:24.719 of Big Walk and Sean, you were sitting shotgun there 1123 00:56:25.239 --> 00:56:28.239 live producing that thing once again. There is a quick 1124 00:56:28.239 --> 00:56:31.000 look up on the website. Highly suggest you go check 1125 00:56:31.039 --> 00:56:34.639 that out. Sean expertly switching between povs and if your 1126 00:56:34.679 --> 00:56:39.320 Premium member, you can go watch someone's specific pov except 1127 00:56:39.320 --> 00:56:46.159 for Jeff Grub. But boys, I had a lovely time. Yeah, 1128 00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:48.320 I think that's so cool. 1129 00:56:48.360 --> 00:56:50.280 Like I actually heard some people I can't remember if 1130 00:56:50.239 --> 00:56:51.800 it's on here or whatever we're talking about, like they 1131 00:56:51.800 --> 00:56:53.840 didn't like the aesthetic and. 1132 00:56:53.480 --> 00:56:54.760 I can get it. I get it. 1133 00:56:54.840 --> 00:56:55.559 I love it. 1134 00:56:55.599 --> 00:56:57.599 I kind of like the weird kind of like you know, 1135 00:56:57.639 --> 00:57:02.559 Homer Simpson bird dropper thing like against like realistic backdrops 1136 00:57:02.559 --> 00:57:06.320 and stuff. I just think it's got a right amount 1137 00:57:06.400 --> 00:57:09.079 of just kind of like quirky like weirdness mixed with 1138 00:57:09.320 --> 00:57:11.639 just like oh, these are like just realistic trees and stuff. 1139 00:57:11.800 --> 00:57:14.119 Sure, in motion, it's very charming. I think in the 1140 00:57:14.159 --> 00:57:15.840 screenshots that may doesn't play as well. 1141 00:57:16.239 --> 00:57:17.079 Sure, sure, yeah. 1142 00:57:17.079 --> 00:57:19.440 I got really curious with the first trailer because it 1143 00:57:19.480 --> 00:57:22.039 just seems like, again, I people are quick to use 1144 00:57:22.079 --> 00:57:24.360 the phrase friend slop for anything where it's like, oh, 1145 00:57:24.400 --> 00:57:27.320 proc chat and you know, several people be running around 1146 00:57:27.320 --> 00:57:30.760 doing different stuff. But this is different than like a peak. 1147 00:57:30.840 --> 00:57:32.960 And also I don't consider friend slop to be a 1148 00:57:33.000 --> 00:57:36.400 predorative at all. Friends slop games a lot, yeah, but 1149 00:57:36.480 --> 00:57:39.679 this is a open world puzzle game. This is a Yeah. 1150 00:57:39.679 --> 00:57:41.840 Just because that's proc chat everything doesn't mean it's like 1151 00:57:41.920 --> 00:57:44.800 these other games that look like it. I like all 1152 00:57:44.800 --> 00:57:47.000 of the emergent things that aren't even like these big 1153 00:57:47.039 --> 00:57:49.280 crazy moments like there's not really like combat that we've 1154 00:57:49.280 --> 00:57:51.360 seen or anything like. I like moments where it's like 1155 00:57:51.800 --> 00:57:53.880 I split off from the group at one point to 1156 00:57:53.960 --> 00:57:55.679 go do something and I had a walkie talkie and 1157 00:57:55.719 --> 00:57:58.119 that's how I was like keeping in contact with with 1158 00:57:58.199 --> 00:58:00.719 all you guys, and I like jump to see if 1159 00:58:00.719 --> 00:58:02.960 I could like slide down this hill to get down faster, 1160 00:58:03.400 --> 00:58:05.800 and the impact caused me to like drop my walkie talking. 1161 00:58:06.000 --> 00:58:08.000 But I did slide down the hill, and it was 1162 00:58:08.039 --> 00:58:10.599 at night and I didn't have a light or anything. 1163 00:58:10.559 --> 00:58:12.320 So I can't get a hold of you guys. 1164 00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:14.039 And for a while, I'm just going through a hill 1165 00:58:14.079 --> 00:58:15.639 at night in the woods, like where the fuck is 1166 00:58:15.719 --> 00:58:16.519 my walkie talkie? 1167 00:58:16.679 --> 00:58:18.119 Like that was hard to earn that we had to 1168 00:58:18.159 --> 00:58:18.719 like soft. 1169 00:58:18.480 --> 00:58:20.840 Puzzles to get that walking talkie. I'm just looking at 1170 00:58:20.840 --> 00:58:22.519 the ground like fu fuck fuck. They're probably wondering where 1171 00:58:22.519 --> 00:58:24.199 I'm at and I can't talk to them, and I'm yelling. 1172 00:58:24.199 --> 00:58:27.159 I'm like, guys, guys, I'm just hoping you could hear me. 1173 00:58:28.159 --> 00:58:31.000 These type of experiences that I can't really say I've 1174 00:58:31.039 --> 00:58:34.320 had in other multiplayer games, and like the puzzles themselves 1175 00:58:34.320 --> 00:58:36.679 are clever, Like there was the one where I went 1176 00:58:36.719 --> 00:58:39.719 into a soundproof room that had like a window and 1177 00:58:39.920 --> 00:58:42.760 I could see these like five different like glyphs light up, 1178 00:58:42.760 --> 00:58:45.159 and you guys couldn't see it, but there were switches 1179 00:58:45.199 --> 00:58:46.920 on the other side, and so I can't talk to 1180 00:58:46.960 --> 00:58:49.000 you with prox chat. So I'm having to come up 1181 00:58:49.039 --> 00:58:51.159 with like a little like language of my own, where 1182 00:58:51.159 --> 00:58:52.719 it's like, all right, if I sit on the ground 1183 00:58:52.719 --> 00:58:54.679 and point, that means I'm pointing at the one on 1184 00:58:54.719 --> 00:58:56.760 the ground over there. If I'm raising a hand up 1185 00:58:56.800 --> 00:58:58.440 on pointing, that means it's a high up one. If 1186 00:58:58.440 --> 00:59:00.239 it's two of them, I'm just going like this because 1187 00:59:00.280 --> 00:59:04.000 you can independently raise your arms or point, And there's 1188 00:59:04.079 --> 00:59:06.840 just so many clever uses of like what seems like 1189 00:59:06.920 --> 00:59:11.360 pretty limited mechanics and uh yeah, just charm for days, 1190 00:59:11.480 --> 00:59:14.480 solid puzzles, really good use of like PROCs chat and 1191 00:59:14.480 --> 00:59:16.400 the gimmicks like the walkie talkies and things like that, 1192 00:59:16.519 --> 00:59:18.039 Like I am, I'm loving this game. 1193 00:59:18.679 --> 00:59:21.280 Yeah, anythink that's a Misslike right, just put me in 1194 00:59:21.280 --> 00:59:23.679 some Eyeland or something of a bunch of puzzles, yeah, 1195 00:59:23.719 --> 00:59:25.760 and let me figure it out, kind of walk this way, 1196 00:59:25.800 --> 00:59:29.159 see what you're going to find over there. And it 1197 00:59:29.239 --> 00:59:31.719 was like a good combination of like sometimes we just 1198 00:59:32.000 --> 00:59:33.639 come across something we're like, I don't know what this 1199 00:59:33.719 --> 00:59:35.960 means yet. We'll come back to this and then there 1200 00:59:35.800 --> 00:59:38.519 we'd walk a little bit further and there's a basketball 1201 00:59:38.559 --> 00:59:40.559 hoop with like an egg and it's like, well, this one, 1202 00:59:40.559 --> 00:59:42.920 I understand. Let's just try to throw this in here 1203 00:59:42.960 --> 00:59:46.320 for for a little bit, and yeah, good sense of progression. 1204 00:59:46.320 --> 00:59:48.559 Like in that first area, it's like basically, all right, 1205 00:59:48.639 --> 00:59:50.800 solve four puzzles, get a thing, and bring it back here. 1206 00:59:51.199 --> 00:59:53.519 Then open up another area and it's a similar thing, 1207 00:59:53.599 --> 00:59:55.960 like all right, we're going to solve this many puzzles 1208 00:59:55.960 --> 00:59:58.840 to sort of get this section done to kind of 1209 00:59:58.880 --> 01:00:01.679 conveys the the I don't want to say loops, not 1210 01:00:01.719 --> 01:00:03.639 necessarily loop, but it kind of conveys the objective of 1211 01:00:03.679 --> 01:00:07.079 the progression system relatively simply and effectively. 1212 01:00:08.039 --> 01:00:11.360 I like that the game kind of forces you to 1213 01:00:11.519 --> 01:00:14.679 be a little twee, you know, Like I like that 1214 01:00:14.880 --> 01:00:18.960 all of the all of the sort of parts are 1215 01:00:19.840 --> 01:00:23.960 kind of really expertly offered in a way that you 1216 01:00:23.960 --> 01:00:27.320 you just like the characteristics of the game that are 1217 01:00:27.400 --> 01:00:29.320 like the most engaging and the most fun are just 1218 01:00:30.760 --> 01:00:35.239 realizing your limitations and the ways that you are forced 1219 01:00:35.239 --> 01:00:37.599 to kind of communicate and I know, you know, the 1220 01:00:37.639 --> 01:00:42.480 whole like friend of slopshpield. It's it's obviously a mechanic 1221 01:00:42.559 --> 01:00:45.840 of the game. It's very it's crucial. You can't progress 1222 01:00:45.960 --> 01:00:50.840 without speaking, you have an impossible time doing so. And 1223 01:00:50.880 --> 01:00:54.239 I just think like it's it says a lot that 1224 01:00:55.199 --> 01:01:00.159 the sort of rule set is governed by the communication, 1225 01:01:00.719 --> 01:01:04.760 because I feel like, you know, obviously there's other prox 1226 01:01:04.840 --> 01:01:07.039 chat games that you know, where you're forced to rely 1227 01:01:07.119 --> 01:01:10.280 on communication, but like this makes it more of like 1228 01:01:10.400 --> 01:01:12.960 the mechanic in an interesting way that I feel like 1229 01:01:13.000 --> 01:01:17.800 no one else is really doing. Yeah, I mean there's 1230 01:01:18.000 --> 01:01:20.880 you know, the thing that keeps getting me every time 1231 01:01:20.920 --> 01:01:23.280 I look back at our footage and get back into it. 1232 01:01:23.280 --> 01:01:28.199 It's like, man, you are really at the mercy of 1233 01:01:28.280 --> 01:01:31.320 like the deliberate design choices that have gone on in 1234 01:01:31.360 --> 01:01:35.159 this game. And that's not shackling in any way. You're 1235 01:01:35.320 --> 01:01:37.519 left to your own devices, And I think there's something 1236 01:01:37.559 --> 01:01:40.559 about how all that stuff is just sort of presented 1237 01:01:40.599 --> 01:01:44.320 to you and you organically assume things about the environment 1238 01:01:44.400 --> 01:01:48.639 like that suns just so smart. I feel like having that, 1239 01:01:49.880 --> 01:01:52.440 you know, at your disposal is a really awesome thing 1240 01:01:52.480 --> 01:01:56.199 to be able to experience. It's cool, man, they really 1241 01:01:56.239 --> 01:02:00.239 did such a fun job with it, and I'm really 1242 01:02:00.280 --> 01:02:02.800 really dig in like what you are kind of because 1243 01:02:02.800 --> 01:02:05.800 there there's also like this kind of mystery aspect to 1244 01:02:05.920 --> 01:02:09.760 it that is a little unsettling in a way where you're, yeah, yeah, 1245 01:02:09.800 --> 01:02:13.239 what's the bigger picture here? Like what exactly is going on? 1246 01:02:13.280 --> 01:02:15.920 Like we all look so kind of goofy and the 1247 01:02:16.000 --> 01:02:21.199 world is rendered relatively realistically and what's up with EXAs? Yeah, 1248 01:02:21.239 --> 01:02:24.239 what's going on here? Why are these like Little Kong 1249 01:02:24.480 --> 01:02:27.599 doi Dog toys like going on? Like what what are 1250 01:02:27.639 --> 01:02:30.679 those things? Like? What is the what is the bigger picture? 1251 01:02:30.719 --> 01:02:31.760 What's the message here? 1252 01:02:32.519 --> 01:02:36.159 Yeah? And I'm sure, like you know, there's probably something 1253 01:02:36.199 --> 01:02:39.920 I'm missing or someone's favorite five dollars friends slop game 1254 01:02:39.960 --> 01:02:41.599 on Steam that they played that I haven't heard of. 1255 01:02:41.679 --> 01:02:43.800 But I feel like we haven't had quite this style 1256 01:02:43.840 --> 01:02:48.480 of like Missed or Portal or that specific type of 1257 01:02:48.760 --> 01:02:51.519 puzzle solving in this type of multiplayer game in at 1258 01:02:51.599 --> 01:02:53.760 least a while. I feel like it's usually more about 1259 01:02:54.320 --> 01:02:56.039 figure out a way to work together to get to 1260 01:02:56.559 --> 01:03:00.320 the end, the ending goal, or to like a raid 1261 01:03:00.480 --> 01:03:02.440 something you know, some on like a repo or whatnot 1262 01:03:02.760 --> 01:03:06.039 or Death Lethal Company. I feel like this is bringing 1263 01:03:06.119 --> 01:03:09.360 things back around to to that time of portal of like, Okay, 1264 01:03:09.360 --> 01:03:11.639 I'm gonna sit here, I'm gonna position you over here. 1265 01:03:11.840 --> 01:03:13.760 I need to do my task, you do your task. 1266 01:03:13.840 --> 01:03:15.639 We need to communicate to like make sure that we're 1267 01:03:15.679 --> 01:03:18.559 doing them in sync or whatever, and it was I know, 1268 01:03:18.719 --> 01:03:21.679 not everyone is going to be able to have experience 1269 01:03:21.760 --> 01:03:23.960 like this.

That's cute. The game is twenty dollars and 1354 01:07:12.000 --> 01:07:15.800 it is cross platform, correct, it is? Okay? Cool, So 1355 01:07:15.840 --> 01:07:16.679 there you go, folks. 1356 01:07:16.719 --> 01:07:18.599 If you on sale and there's a lot of sale, 1357 01:07:18.639 --> 01:07:19.679 it's like thirteen bucks. 1358 01:07:19.920 --> 01:07:23.760 Oh it's on the like top tier of whatever PlayStation 1359 01:07:23.800 --> 01:07:24.480 Plus is offering you. 1360 01:07:24.559 --> 01:07:25.760 Sorry. Oh cool. 1361 01:07:25.760 --> 01:07:29.119 And I saw people in chat asking about this. I 1362 01:07:29.559 --> 01:07:32.280 remember as the developers they said this that it does. 1363 01:07:34.599 --> 01:07:37.079 H what's it called? It does sort of change depending 1364 01:07:37.119 --> 01:07:41.559 on how many people are playing, like not the it 1365 01:07:41.599 --> 01:07:45.760 adjusts to accommodate. There's certain kind of like you know, 1366 01:07:45.920 --> 01:07:49.360 height things that won't work if you've only got you know, 1367 01:07:49.480 --> 01:07:51.800 three people or two people whatever. So the puzzles do 1368 01:07:51.880 --> 01:07:53.119 adapt to how many players. 1369 01:07:53.199 --> 01:07:54.400 Oh, that maxes out. 1370 01:07:54.480 --> 01:07:56.400 That maxes out at four, I think, like so if 1371 01:07:56.440 --> 01:07:56.960 you do two. 1372 01:07:56.840 --> 01:07:59.800 Yeah after it's okay, yeah. 1373 01:08:00.320 --> 01:08:02.440 It's twelve, I think. But it caps the puzzles. 1374 01:08:02.559 --> 01:08:05.000 Okay. Yeah. Seeing you guys play, it seemed like every 1375 01:08:05.000 --> 01:08:07.159 puzzle was designed around four us. So I was worried 1376 01:08:07.199 --> 01:08:08.719 because I have a group of three that was like 1377 01:08:08.719 --> 01:08:10.800 my core group I play with every week. As I 1378 01:08:10.840 --> 01:08:12.360 was worried, oh, can we not play this even though 1379 01:08:12.360 --> 01:08:14.360 it seems pretty fun. But if it adapts, that's what 1380 01:08:14.440 --> 01:08:14.679 it does. 1381 01:08:14.800 --> 01:08:14.960 Here. 1382 01:08:15.199 --> 01:08:17.000 Okay, two or more can play together. 1383 01:08:17.159 --> 01:08:20.800 Okay, there there you go. Go play the top tier. 1384 01:08:20.880 --> 01:08:23.199 It's the essential tier or whatever the base one is called. 1385 01:08:23.239 --> 01:08:26.520 Now again, every company has terrible tier names and no 1386 01:08:26.520 --> 01:08:26.920 one knows. 1387 01:08:27.760 --> 01:08:32.159 Yeah Jesus, yep, yeap, what the fuck? I'm actually still 1388 01:08:32.199 --> 01:08:35.920 confused about which Xbox were on. I just politely nod. 1389 01:08:37.239 --> 01:08:38.119 That's the last one. 1390 01:08:40.479 --> 01:08:43.760 We'll get to it in the news, folks. That does 1391 01:08:43.800 --> 01:08:46.399 it for games. We're gonna take a quick bricky break 1392 01:08:46.439 --> 01:08:46.800 and we. 1393 01:08:46.800 --> 01:08:57.760 Will be back with the news right after this. 1394 01:08:57.760 --> 01:08:58.560 This is my. 1395 01:09:02.840 --> 01:09:08.199 And a kid. Hey, hey, hey, everybody, how's it going. 1396 01:09:08.880 --> 01:09:12.000 Guess Jeff Grub is out on an assignment, so I'm 1397 01:09:12.039 --> 01:09:14.960 here govern news. He actually did curate the news for us, 1398 01:09:15.199 --> 01:09:18.880 and has bolded some of his commentary on these topics 1399 01:09:18.960 --> 01:09:22.399 him south just to leap those. Yeah, we don't care 1400 01:09:22.399 --> 01:09:22.760 what he thinks. 1401 01:09:22.880 --> 01:09:23.760 Let's just guess. 1402 01:09:25.600 --> 01:09:29.760 Starting off there with Xboxes leaked disc to Digital System 1403 01:09:29.840 --> 01:09:34.399 Good solving impossible ownership problem. A leaked to Microsoft developer 1404 01:09:34.479 --> 01:09:38.520 document says Xbox intends to expand backward compatibility on PC 1405 01:09:39.079 --> 01:09:43.159 in several stages. Original Xbox games were reportedly headed toward 1406 01:09:43.239 --> 01:09:46.720 a full PC launch in October, while developers would be 1407 01:09:46.760 --> 01:09:50.000 able to opt Xbox three sixty games into the ecosystem 1408 01:09:50.119 --> 01:09:54.000 gradually during twenty twenty seven twenty eight. Those games would 1409 01:09:54.039 --> 01:09:58.399 then work across Windows based Xbox hardware, including Project Helix, 1410 01:09:58.760 --> 01:10:05.000 other Xbox PCs, and had hells. Developers would control participation, pricing, 1411 01:10:05.119 --> 01:10:08.960 and game pass availability. This to digital ownership seems like 1412 01:10:08.960 --> 01:10:11.880 the key to this strategy. A player inserts an Xbox 1413 01:10:11.920 --> 01:10:14.880 one Er series disc into a capable console. That's stage one. 1414 01:10:15.079 --> 01:10:19.479 It'sh Microsoft grants that account the digital entitlement. Stage three, 1415 01:10:19.520 --> 01:10:22.560 the entitlement remains associated with both the account and the 1416 01:10:22.560 --> 01:10:26.159 physical disc. Stage four, Selling or lending the disc would 1417 01:10:26.199 --> 01:10:29.640 transfer the entitlement to the new holder and revocate from 1418 01:10:29.680 --> 01:10:34.760 the previous account. This retains the full functionality and reso 1419 01:10:34.920 --> 01:10:37.079 the disc, while also smoothing out of transition to a 1420 01:10:37.119 --> 01:10:40.560 future where fewer Xbox systems will have disc drives. But 1421 01:10:40.640 --> 01:10:43.239 this also means that Xbox will locally to provide some 1422 01:10:43.399 --> 01:10:48.199 way to use discs on Project Helix. Grub says here, 1423 01:10:48.640 --> 01:10:50.680 at the very least, this feels like a very thought 1424 01:10:50.680 --> 01:10:54.079 out and coherent plan. Which distinguishes it from everything else 1425 01:10:54.479 --> 01:11:01.439 Xbox has done the book year. Yeah, right, exactly. But 1426 01:11:01.560 --> 01:11:04.039 you know, it's something nice to see and it's going 1427 01:11:04.079 --> 01:11:07.720 to be interesting to see what the PlayStation response to 1428 01:11:07.760 --> 01:11:11.279 this is. You know, it is kind of like, yeah, okay, 1429 01:11:11.319 --> 01:11:13.399 so if we're going to be able to save our discs, 1430 01:11:13.800 --> 01:11:15.960 are you going to have a disk drive on the 1431 01:11:15.960 --> 01:11:19.119 new console so we can do that for PlayStation six 1432 01:11:19.159 --> 01:11:21.319 it seems pretty unlikely if they aren't going to make 1433 01:11:21.319 --> 01:11:25.000 any disc games for it. So whatever PlayStation solution is 1434 01:11:25.039 --> 01:11:27.079 going to be, it's going to require you to use 1435 01:11:27.119 --> 01:11:31.399 a PlayStation five to register your discs somehow. 1436 01:11:32.439 --> 01:11:36.239 So yeah, and this seems like a cool system. This 1437 01:11:36.319 --> 01:11:37.680 has come up in the past, but now we have 1438 01:11:37.720 --> 01:11:39.960 a few more things to talk about here where Yeah, 1439 01:11:40.039 --> 01:11:43.119 specifically it will have to work with an Xbox one 1440 01:11:43.199 --> 01:11:45.600 or an Xbox Series disc because those have like the 1441 01:11:45.960 --> 01:11:49.920 identifiers on them to be able to, you know, say, oh, 1442 01:11:50.039 --> 01:11:52.840 this is this game. It's not just an Xbox game 1443 01:11:52.920 --> 01:11:56.239 or an Xbox three sixty game. This is a Battlefield 1444 01:11:56.319 --> 01:11:59.319 one for Xbox one, you know, something like that. And 1445 01:11:59.399 --> 01:12:02.399 so this is a cool system, I think, because you 1446 01:12:02.439 --> 01:12:05.000 can pop that disc in you can get basically a 1447 01:12:05.039 --> 01:12:08.560 digital copy with all the convenience, as long as nobody 1448 01:12:08.600 --> 01:12:11.520 else uses that disc. I've always thought that this is 1449 01:12:11.560 --> 01:12:14.800 a cool system as kind of the bare minimum that 1450 01:12:14.840 --> 01:12:18.039 these companies need to do if we're going to transition 1451 01:12:18.159 --> 01:12:21.079 all digital, because people have physical games, you can't just 1452 01:12:21.119 --> 01:12:26.039 like tossos aside willingly. It's a little it's still a 1453 01:12:26.079 --> 01:12:29.279 shame that it won't work, at least seemingly won't work 1454 01:12:29.359 --> 01:12:33.000 for original Xbox or three sixty games. Maybe they'll reverse 1455 01:12:33.039 --> 01:12:35.439 them in the future and they just say, oh, your 1456 01:12:35.760 --> 01:12:39.880 Xbox one X or your series x red a, you know, 1457 01:12:39.960 --> 01:12:41.920 like looking at my shelf, like I have a let's 1458 01:12:41.920 --> 01:12:44.199 say Dead or Alive three, Like if I pop that 1459 01:12:44.239 --> 01:12:47.399 into my disc based Xbox. If they could just be like, 1460 01:12:47.479 --> 01:12:49.079 all right, we don't really need the sale on this one. 1461 01:12:49.079 --> 01:12:51.880 We'll just grant you this one. That would be nice 1462 01:12:51.920 --> 01:12:55.520 as well. I know that with the backwards compatibility that 1463 01:12:55.600 --> 01:13:00.159 they just started announcing for PC, John Linneman asked them about, well, 1464 01:13:00.159 --> 01:13:02.359 what about my physical discs, because of course John would 1465 01:13:02.680 --> 01:13:05.039 and they said, well, we actually wanted to do that 1466 01:13:05.079 --> 01:13:09.079 on PC, but not every DVD drive can read those 1467 01:13:09.119 --> 01:13:12.680 like encrypted Xbox discs correctly and identify what they are, 1468 01:13:13.279 --> 01:13:15.560 and that's why there's no option for that on PC. 1469 01:13:15.920 --> 01:13:18.199 Which also that's the type of thing that has me 1470 01:13:18.239 --> 01:13:21.840 a little worried about if Helix is a PC, because 1471 01:13:21.840 --> 01:13:23.960 then you know, it won't have the ability to read 1472 01:13:24.079 --> 01:13:26.800 some discs like that. So how is that going to work? 1473 01:13:27.119 --> 01:13:29.840 Or like your original Xbox in three sixty games just 1474 01:13:29.880 --> 01:13:31.800 not going to work? Are you going to have to 1475 01:13:31.840 --> 01:13:34.680 read buy them? Ditchally, that's a little bit weird. 1476 01:13:35.960 --> 01:13:38.760 Yeah, there's some other you know, and like, yeah, so 1477 01:13:39.720 --> 01:13:41.760 you don't have to hand it to Xbox, right, I 1478 01:13:41.800 --> 01:13:44.039 think it's kind of right point here, Like they says, 1479 01:13:44.720 --> 01:13:47.560 of course, there needs to be solutions to these problems, right, 1480 01:13:47.600 --> 01:13:51.039 that is that should be their responsibility, and PlayStation's better 1481 01:13:51.079 --> 01:13:54.119 have solutions as well. Though I think with them it's 1482 01:13:54.119 --> 01:13:56.560 a little bit of a worry, like maybe they're just 1483 01:13:56.600 --> 01:13:58.720 going to rip the band aid off a little bit 1484 01:13:58.800 --> 01:14:01.600 more forcefully and then this even. 1485 01:14:01.920 --> 01:14:03.840 Yeah, Like to be clear, I'm happy about systems like 1486 01:14:03.880 --> 01:14:06.000 this because it means I don't have to give Microsoft 1487 01:14:06.039 --> 01:14:10.119 any more money by replying the Times, absolutely, Yeah, So 1488 01:14:10.239 --> 01:14:13.720 I'm a little confused about like what Helix is gonna 1489 01:14:13.720 --> 01:14:16.359 be now, because it seems like, you know, with the 1490 01:14:16.520 --> 01:14:19.239 backwards compatibility on PC expanding and stuff like that, that 1491 01:14:19.279 --> 01:14:21.720 they're trying to get more and more stuff on PC, 1492 01:14:22.039 --> 01:14:24.840 which would indicate that Helix is just that PC. Like 1493 01:14:24.880 --> 01:14:27.640 we've been talking about the way like Asha's talking about 1494 01:14:27.640 --> 01:14:31.520 like I only barely caught game this morning's yesterday, but 1495 01:14:31.560 --> 01:14:34.279 like in general, talking about committing to the console and 1496 01:14:34.319 --> 01:14:37.640 everything like that. I'm just thinking like, well, doesn't that 1497 01:14:37.680 --> 01:14:41.520 seem a little contradictory to the idea of it just 1498 01:14:41.600 --> 01:14:44.119 being a PC then, So now I'm wondering, and you know, 1499 01:14:44.640 --> 01:14:48.079 she has said about like the the Steam on Helix thing. 1500 01:14:48.119 --> 01:14:50.159 You know, I wasn't there for those discussions and stuff 1501 01:14:50.199 --> 01:14:52.640 like that. It seems like there's a backing away from 1502 01:14:52.720 --> 01:14:55.039 that count thing. So now I'm just really curious what 1503 01:14:55.079 --> 01:14:56.720 Helix actually is, right. 1504 01:14:56.760 --> 01:14:58.680 I Mean, there's just so many questions about these consoles, 1505 01:14:58.720 --> 01:15:01.279 including their price, and kind of like put some stuff 1506 01:15:01.319 --> 01:15:03.600 in here too to remind us like, hey, those latest 1507 01:15:03.840 --> 01:15:09.439 price increases have gone into effect. They're more expensive, and 1508 01:15:09.479 --> 01:15:11.960 like more are probably coming. Microsoft them selves have been 1509 01:15:12.039 --> 01:15:15.319 like yeah, like this just problems not getting solved. These 1510 01:15:15.319 --> 01:15:19.119 components keep getting more expensive. That's not going to stop. 1511 01:15:19.520 --> 01:15:21.800 It's just, you know, there's this larger question of how 1512 01:15:21.920 --> 01:15:25.600 how is Xbox going to have growth? How is them 1513 01:15:25.680 --> 01:15:29.359 seemingly focusing on the console business again at a point 1514 01:15:29.439 --> 01:15:34.800 where that that business just seems a bit uncertain right now? 1515 01:15:35.319 --> 01:15:37.840 Uh, we don't there is to mention, I guess of 1516 01:15:37.920 --> 01:15:41.319 the these Xbox PCs, we didn't really addressed that of Yeah, 1517 01:15:41.479 --> 01:15:45.960 I'm assuming that terminology means something like the Asis rog, 1518 01:15:46.279 --> 01:15:50.359 Xbox Ali x x X, triple X, double X, quadruplex. 1519 01:15:50.359 --> 01:15:53.000 What the fuck is that thing called? Something like those 1520 01:15:53.039 --> 01:15:56.640 handhelds are what they're referring to as Xbox PCs, right 1521 01:15:56.680 --> 01:15:59.920 of like a partner device, as like branded Xbox. 1522 01:16:00.119 --> 01:16:01.720 And that's something that I think was probably at one 1523 01:16:01.720 --> 01:16:04.760 point a bigger part of the strategy before the regimen change, 1524 01:16:04.760 --> 01:16:07.479 and now it's like now that Project Helix is though, 1525 01:16:07.560 --> 01:16:09.800 that is the main thing. There might be other things that, 1526 01:16:09.840 --> 01:16:12.920 of course are kind of Xboxes, but not everything is 1527 01:16:12.960 --> 01:16:15.279 an Xbox. Who would say that, that would be ridiculous. 1528 01:16:15.600 --> 01:16:16.239 Yeah, I guess. 1529 01:16:16.039 --> 01:16:20.560 Something wondering now, I'm kind of wondering if Helix is 1530 01:16:20.600 --> 01:16:22.960 a more traditional consult they're trying to like sense, it's 1531 01:16:22.960 --> 01:16:25.439 not now yet. They could scale back the software the 1532 01:16:25.479 --> 01:16:28.039 offering system to being more console like, to being more 1533 01:16:28.039 --> 01:16:32.279 expensive based, and then the Xbox PCs are the more 1534 01:16:32.319 --> 01:16:34.119 open thing that they can work with like asos and 1535 01:16:34.159 --> 01:16:34.640 stuff on. 1536 01:16:34.800 --> 01:16:37.600 I was assuming that Helix would kind of be closer 1537 01:16:37.600 --> 01:16:41.920 to that Roger ally Xbox Triple X that you mentioned 1538 01:16:41.920 --> 01:16:45.439 sean versus like a traditional console, and that it would 1539 01:16:45.479 --> 01:16:50.000 just be more Windows up. But now I don't know. 1540 01:16:50.279 --> 01:16:52.760 I mean, every day to day, week to week, I 1541 01:16:52.880 --> 01:16:54.880 have less and less of an idea of what the 1542 01:16:55.079 --> 01:16:59.279 strategy is specifically with Helix and what to expect with it. 1543 01:16:59.840 --> 01:17:03.800 Also looking at these like price increases, bonkers, crazy town 1544 01:17:03.840 --> 01:17:05.600 bananas scene. 1545 01:17:07.279 --> 01:17:10.399 I pull it out there day that I looked around 1546 01:17:10.520 --> 01:17:12.920 my room. I was streaming. I just something brought up 1547 01:17:12.960 --> 01:17:15.279 and I looked around my room. I'm like, every piece 1548 01:17:15.319 --> 01:17:17.680 of hardware I've bought in like the past five years 1549 01:17:17.680 --> 01:17:21.920 has gone up in value, which is insad everyone appreciating. 1550 01:17:22.079 --> 01:17:23.000 It's very weird. 1551 01:17:23.199 --> 01:17:28.199 It's wild, all right. EACE fifty five billion private takeovers 1552 01:17:28.239 --> 01:17:31.560 expected to close today. The investor group, led by Saudi 1553 01:17:31.560 --> 01:17:35.359 Arabia's Public Investment Fund, received approval under the European using 1554 01:17:35.760 --> 01:17:42.079 foreign subsidies regulation remaining significant regulatory hurdle for it's fifty 1555 01:17:42.119 --> 01:17:47.000 five billion dollar acquisition Electronic Arts. He said all required 1556 01:17:47.039 --> 01:17:50.600 approvals have been attained and expected the transition transaction to 1557 01:17:50.680 --> 01:17:54.319 close August fourth, which is today. Grob says just worth 1558 01:17:54.319 --> 01:17:56.800 pointing out that this is the largest leverage buy it 1559 01:17:56.920 --> 01:17:59.359 in the history of the world, not just gaming, everyone 1560 01:17:59.399 --> 01:18:02.479 really world, and that EA will now have the shift 1561 01:18:02.520 --> 01:18:06.319 from growing to satisfy shareholders expecting to grow to pay 1562 01:18:06.359 --> 01:18:09.960 twenty million in debt. I won't expect that means we 1563 01:18:10.039 --> 01:18:13.079 get more and core games. Some people are like, well, 1564 01:18:13.079 --> 01:18:15.399 it's a good thing anyways, because EA is not a 1565 01:18:15.399 --> 01:18:19.239 private company anymore, so they don't have shareholders. But the 1566 01:18:19.279 --> 01:18:23.880 new owner is buying into twenty billion in debt, so 1567 01:18:23.920 --> 01:18:26.560 they have to make that money, which is going to 1568 01:18:26.600 --> 01:18:28.720 mean they are going to continue what has been the 1569 01:18:28.760 --> 01:18:31.680 strategy at EA, which is just finding ways to make 1570 01:18:31.800 --> 01:18:35.479 more money off of the core consumers that are buying 1571 01:18:35.560 --> 01:18:36.680 things like. 1572 01:18:36.760 --> 01:18:38.760 Madden Michael Transactions. 1573 01:18:38.880 --> 01:18:42.800 Yeah, yeah, Michael Transactions is gonna be having more sway 1574 01:18:42.880 --> 01:18:46.199 than ever at EA. This does not mean like Burnout 1575 01:18:46.239 --> 01:18:50.359 four is coming out like anything interesting, like that it's 1576 01:18:50.399 --> 01:18:52.960 going to be the same EA that releases a few 1577 01:18:53.000 --> 01:18:56.239 sports games every year and then maybe a Star Wars 1578 01:18:56.279 --> 01:19:00.479 game if you're lucky, and more sims four DLC. 1579 01:19:01.079 --> 01:19:01.279 Right. 1580 01:19:01.439 --> 01:19:04.199 That that that's the future we are looking at here 1581 01:19:04.600 --> 01:19:06.520 with EA. Maybe grimmer than that. 1582 01:19:07.199 --> 01:19:13.680 I mean, so that's bad, but like, yeah, there is 1583 01:19:13.720 --> 01:19:15.960 a like I I guess my whole thing is like 1584 01:19:16.000 --> 01:19:19.319 you're buying into this debt. What's to say, like this 1585 01:19:19.479 --> 01:19:22.560 debt can't grow? Like what's to say, like just do 1586 01:19:22.760 --> 01:19:26.279 more bad and never still like it will right? Like 1587 01:19:26.399 --> 01:19:29.800 I I guess that's maybe like the comedic sort of 1588 01:19:29.920 --> 01:19:32.279 like takeaway of all this of like there's an opportunity 1589 01:19:32.279 --> 01:19:35.920 where for you know, the consumers to do the funniest 1590 01:19:35.920 --> 01:19:40.720 thing and just like continue to put this business in 1591 01:19:40.760 --> 01:19:43.920 the dumpster and not give a fuck and watch it 1592 01:19:44.199 --> 01:19:50.720 just completely implode. That seems I mean, like you're describing 1593 01:19:50.720 --> 01:19:52.560 this thing like, well, we have to do all these 1594 01:19:52.560 --> 01:19:55.439 micro transactions to be like all right, well, are there 1595 01:19:55.840 --> 01:19:59.039 is E Like is there is there success where they're like, oh, 1596 01:19:59.079 --> 01:20:01.520 we just have to like open up this kid casino 1597 01:20:01.680 --> 01:20:06.000 and we can generate the money. Like where if it's bed, 1598 01:20:06.319 --> 01:20:10.279 it's bed and don't engage. I realized I'm taking a 1599 01:20:10.399 --> 01:20:14.640 very sort of like surface level examination of the situation. 1600 01:20:15.359 --> 01:20:18.000 But there is there, there is like a dark humor 1601 01:20:18.039 --> 01:20:20.800 to it of like, man, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 1602 01:20:20.880 --> 01:20:23.600 must really think that they can actually sports wash their 1603 01:20:23.640 --> 01:20:25.760 image with stuff like this, and they just don't seem 1604 01:20:25.760 --> 01:20:29.159 to realize that it's not working. Like people, people only 1605 01:20:29.159 --> 01:20:31.840 think less of sn K, they only think less of evil, 1606 01:20:31.960 --> 01:20:34.880 They only think less of like the investments in like 1607 01:20:35.000 --> 01:20:37.920 Nintendo and Capcom and stuff, nobody like this. 1608 01:20:38.520 --> 01:20:41.720 It's like when Haykill talked to those Christian rock people, Right, 1609 01:20:41.800 --> 01:20:43.520 you're not You're not making. 1610 01:20:43.319 --> 01:20:44.520 Its exactly like that. 1611 01:20:44.560 --> 01:20:47.560 You're not making Christianity better, You're making rock and roll worse. 1612 01:20:47.840 --> 01:20:52.119 Yes, yeah, what I'm saying, Like it's it's sort of 1613 01:20:52.159 --> 01:20:57.000 just like did they get some bed advice, Like non 1614 01:20:57.560 --> 01:20:59.600 really have like an obscene amount of money that you 1615 01:20:59.640 --> 01:21:02.760 could just maybe, Yeah, they can't afford for this to 1616 01:21:02.800 --> 01:21:04.199 not work out is the stupid thing. 1617 01:21:04.239 --> 01:21:05.920 And that's why they kind of can do it without 1618 01:21:05.960 --> 01:21:08.560 thinking about it all that much. 1619 01:21:09.000 --> 01:21:09.199 You know. 1620 01:21:09.319 --> 01:21:11.640 Now, now we have this weird world where you know, 1621 01:21:13.159 --> 01:21:15.840 mass effect four, which has been you know, historically a 1622 01:21:15.880 --> 01:21:20.239 pretty like, you know, queer friendly franchise from the Kingdom 1623 01:21:20.279 --> 01:21:23.920 of Saudi Arabia. What is that going, dude, look like 1624 01:21:24.319 --> 01:21:25.399 it's going to be interesting. 1625 01:21:26.039 --> 01:21:30.039 Yeah, I it's just a it's a very weird thing. 1626 01:21:30.079 --> 01:21:33.720 I think people like the money when they aren't aware 1627 01:21:33.760 --> 01:21:36.439 of all the bad things around the Kingdom of Saudi 1628 01:21:36.479 --> 01:21:39.000 Arabia and everything that's happening here with them trying to 1629 01:21:39.000 --> 01:21:41.479 buy their way into everything. People like the money that 1630 01:21:41.760 --> 01:21:44.520 gets invested in, you know, like Evil Evo having well 1631 01:21:44.520 --> 01:21:47.680 I guess Evil at this point, having large prize pools, 1632 01:21:48.039 --> 01:21:51.359 and like they created the Esports World Cup where people 1633 01:21:51.399 --> 01:21:54.199 are going to compete in various esports for a bunch 1634 01:21:54.199 --> 01:21:57.199 of money, and people think that's really cool. But then 1635 01:21:57.199 --> 01:22:01.079 they learn, then they find out about all the atrocities 1636 01:22:01.119 --> 01:22:04.560 of that kingdom and their government, and then immediately the 1637 01:22:04.560 --> 01:22:06.920 switch flips of like oh nope, you know what I 1638 01:22:07.079 --> 01:22:09.279 do without that money, and like it just feels like 1639 01:22:09.359 --> 01:22:13.319 bad timing of more than ever, with people being chronically online, 1640 01:22:13.439 --> 01:22:16.439 they learn eventually they might take them a second. We 1641 01:22:16.439 --> 01:22:18.600 saw for example with Games Done Quick for example, just 1642 01:22:18.640 --> 01:22:21.039 somehow most of the speederro On community it wasn't even 1643 01:22:21.079 --> 01:22:23.760 just GDQ staff. Most of the Speederron community just hasn't 1644 01:22:23.760 --> 01:22:26.079 heard of this because they haven't been falling gaming news, 1645 01:22:26.119 --> 01:22:28.239 you know, and that's why it's on us to educate people. 1646 01:22:28.640 --> 01:22:32.079 But just as this stuff is spreading again instantly people 1647 01:22:32.119 --> 01:22:34.359 are turned off by it because they just know that's bad. 1648 01:22:34.720 --> 01:22:37.159 I didn't think it would be possible for a future 1649 01:22:37.239 --> 01:22:40.239 Harry Potter game to get worse, but it can. 1650 01:22:40.560 --> 01:22:44.640 It will, yeah, right, a little bit of a tangent. 1651 01:22:44.680 --> 01:22:46.840 But just like talk about things like sort of breaking containment. 1652 01:22:46.840 --> 01:22:48.359 I know this has been brought before, but I was 1653 01:22:48.439 --> 01:22:51.800 like a friend's birthday party this weekend, so like I'm 1654 01:22:51.840 --> 01:22:56.640 talking about Normis and Normi's parents and everyone there was. 1655 01:22:58.239 --> 01:22:58.840 Too much. 1656 01:22:59.359 --> 01:23:03.800 Every one there was asking me about PlayStation not having 1657 01:23:03.880 --> 01:23:08.319 discs anymore, like area, It's what the amount of containment 1658 01:23:08.319 --> 01:23:12.000 brokenness on that is absolutely wild. 1659 01:23:12.359 --> 01:23:14.920 Yeah, So give me a little, uh, give me a 1660 01:23:14.920 --> 01:23:17.000 little summary of how that exchange went. 1661 01:23:17.560 --> 01:23:20.920 I mean it's just I mean it's just like, oh, yeah, 1662 01:23:20.960 --> 01:23:24.600 like PlayStation is not even have discs anymore. Huh. I'm like, yeah, yeah, 1663 01:23:24.760 --> 01:23:27.680 you know, that's crazy. Yep, that's usually how it goes. 1664 01:23:28.239 --> 01:23:30.119 Or maybe they were just looking for someone to talk 1665 01:23:30.159 --> 01:23:32.439 with you about, right, Like maybe it's just like talking. 1666 01:23:32.560 --> 01:23:34.319 Yeah, but just the fact that they know is just 1667 01:23:34.359 --> 01:23:36.079 a shout to me because they don't know it. Again, 1668 01:23:36.239 --> 01:23:38.800 they don't know about Saudi Arabia investing in video games. 1669 01:23:38.800 --> 01:23:42.600 They don't even really necessarily know about Xbox, you know, 1670 01:23:42.680 --> 01:23:46.960 closing studios, laying people off, things like that. Yeah, everybody 1671 01:23:46.960 --> 01:23:47.640 knows about this. 1672 01:23:48.119 --> 01:23:49.720 Yeah, some of the stuff is getting big enough that 1673 01:23:49.800 --> 01:23:52.199 sound like mainstream news. Like I'll still say like when 1674 01:23:52.239 --> 01:23:55.640 my when my almost seventy year old mom knows about 1675 01:23:55.720 --> 01:23:58.960 PlayStation consoles are going up in price, that's how you 1676 01:23:59.079 --> 01:24:01.640 know that's something like pretty big news. 1677 01:24:01.520 --> 01:24:03.840 Because I think those I think those headlines are like 1678 01:24:04.000 --> 01:24:07.359 milestone kind of like easy to digest in a single 1679 01:24:07.439 --> 01:24:09.840 sort of phrase right where you're just like, oh, I 1680 01:24:09.880 --> 01:24:12.159 don't need to really understand anything more about the story. 1681 01:24:12.239 --> 01:24:15.279 Discs are going away, got it right? Like maybe it's 1682 01:24:15.800 --> 01:24:17.840 the digestible, bite size stuff like that too. 1683 01:24:17.960 --> 01:24:20.720 The EA stuff is particularly causing up a stir because 1684 01:24:20.760 --> 01:24:23.600 like their main office in the US is in Redwood 1685 01:24:23.640 --> 01:24:27.079 City in the Bay Area, so it's been like circulating 1686 01:24:27.079 --> 01:24:30.800 around like local San Francisco news. A bunch just because 1687 01:24:30.800 --> 01:24:33.520 people are worried of like is this gonna go away now? 1688 01:24:33.640 --> 01:24:38.359 Like what's happening? Like local businesses are also spooked because 1689 01:24:39.279 --> 01:24:41.159 you know, they depend on those people going to the 1690 01:24:41.199 --> 01:24:43.239 A office for lunch, et cetera. 1691 01:24:43.520 --> 01:24:49.319 So all right, a little bit of pivot here, Fire 1692 01:24:49.399 --> 01:24:54.680 up Unfortunate's weave. Hey. That direct was earlier today, showcasing 1693 01:24:54.680 --> 01:24:58.239 more of this turn based strategy game, which is coming 1694 01:24:58.239 --> 01:25:04.239 out September seventeenth exclusive for the Switch to Pretty good 1695 01:25:04.239 --> 01:25:06.840 look at the game here, including some like I don't 1696 01:25:06.840 --> 01:25:08.960 know if if it's a spoiler, if it's part of 1697 01:25:09.000 --> 01:25:12.119 the promotion campaign, but like a character we wouldn't necessarily 1698 01:25:12.119 --> 01:25:15.880 expect to see or hasn't been introduced yet. Although kind 1699 01:25:15.880 --> 01:25:18.359 of the craziest thing here is that part of this 1700 01:25:18.439 --> 01:25:22.640 game is dungeon crawling with more traditional turn based battles. 1701 01:25:22.720 --> 01:25:23.840 That's here somehow. 1702 01:25:24.479 --> 01:25:27.039 Yeah, it's like so fire. Emical games have it where 1703 01:25:27.079 --> 01:25:29.840 you can like go out, and at least the more 1704 01:25:29.840 --> 01:25:31.800 recent ones where you can go out, you like train 1705 01:25:31.920 --> 01:25:34.399 somewhere on the map and like do a side thing, 1706 01:25:34.720 --> 01:25:36.760 and apparently in You're you can I can't see the 1707 01:25:36.840 --> 01:25:39.600 exact specifics of it, but you can go ahead dungeon 1708 01:25:39.600 --> 01:25:41.800 and suddenly they line up like yeah, like it's Dragon 1709 01:25:41.880 --> 01:25:44.600 Quest or something, and the animations are still fire emblem, 1710 01:25:44.640 --> 01:25:47.000 but it seems like a different type of battling. I 1711 01:25:47.039 --> 01:25:49.039 was like watching this while I was getting ready this morning, 1712 01:25:49.399 --> 01:25:52.319 and there are details like that, but also, yeah, they're 1713 01:25:52.600 --> 01:25:54.920 they're doing some other wild stuff like this. It's really 1714 01:25:54.920 --> 01:25:57.159 funny when they like introduce I think these are just 1715 01:25:57.199 --> 01:25:59.119 a new type of weapons. I don't remember them, but 1716 01:25:59.239 --> 01:26:02.680 like gauntlets that can apparently take different forms, and I said, 1717 01:26:02.720 --> 01:26:05.399 there's even ones that look like firearms. And my girls 1718 01:26:05.439 --> 01:26:08.800 is holding the most futuristic oozy you've ever seen, Like 1719 01:26:08.840 --> 01:26:10.720 it's a perfect dark It's. 1720 01:26:10.520 --> 01:26:12.640 So funny because like I was, I was scrolling through 1721 01:26:12.680 --> 01:26:15.800 looking for the direct today and I found game Spots first, 1722 01:26:15.840 --> 01:26:19.399 and the thumbnail they chose is just like Anne looking 1723 01:26:19.520 --> 01:26:20.920 character holding an oozy. 1724 01:26:21.800 --> 01:26:24.199 I was like, who over there at game Spot is 1725 01:26:24.239 --> 01:26:26.399 like pull the goof on me right now? What am 1726 01:26:26.399 --> 01:26:29.680 I looking at? It was very funny. Yeah, you know, 1727 01:26:29.720 --> 01:26:32.840 they showed in the direct that they are doing something 1728 01:26:32.920 --> 01:26:35.840 similar to Three Houses, where everything we've seen up to 1729 01:26:35.840 --> 01:26:38.199 this point, although like you know, the four characters in 1730 01:26:38.279 --> 01:26:41.560 plays and everything is just the quote unquote prologue and 1731 01:26:41.560 --> 01:26:45.439 then the actual story is that you the main character. 1732 01:26:45.560 --> 01:26:49.520 They say, like this is the real protagonist is a 1733 01:26:49.560 --> 01:26:52.399 time traveler, like one of the gods or like an 1734 01:26:52.439 --> 01:26:55.520 angel messenger of the gods, because like one of the gods, 1735 01:26:55.600 --> 01:26:59.479 Fortuna is like they are also playable, I guess, And 1736 01:26:59.560 --> 01:27:02.760 so like you play a prologue that tells like how 1737 01:27:02.920 --> 01:27:06.439 these four characters got the world to apparently a state 1738 01:27:06.600 --> 01:27:11.279 a post apocalypse, and then the real story is like 1739 01:27:11.439 --> 01:27:14.239 you fixing that as like a messenger from the gods 1740 01:27:14.279 --> 01:27:17.600 or something like that. Again, I'm missing some small details here, Bob, Like, well, 1741 01:27:17.640 --> 01:27:19.960 that's a really that's honestly a more interesting way to 1742 01:27:20.079 --> 01:27:22.000 the time skip of like three houses and stuff. I 1743 01:27:22.000 --> 01:27:25.039 think that you can go back and like fix mistakes 1744 01:27:25.119 --> 01:27:28.560 or something. It's wild and and I think it looks 1745 01:27:28.600 --> 01:27:29.159 really cool. 1746 01:27:29.359 --> 01:27:31.119 It also kind of gives us that the thing that 1747 01:27:31.119 --> 01:27:33.199 they've done since Awakening where you can kind of like 1748 01:27:33.279 --> 01:27:36.039 get the main characters is kind of son protagonists where 1749 01:27:36.079 --> 01:27:39.119 you can pick the male or female version of right, 1750 01:27:39.399 --> 01:27:44.119 and they don't have Pepsi colors this time, So that's good, correct, Right, Yeah, 1751 01:27:44.159 --> 01:27:46.840 they're definitely seem to be leaning into the Three Houses 1752 01:27:47.119 --> 01:27:49.079 aspect of it, which is something they've been trying to 1753 01:27:49.119 --> 01:27:52.720 connect to from the beginning. And Three Houses very well liked. 1754 01:27:52.800 --> 01:27:53.960 I like that one a lot of it. 1755 01:27:54.119 --> 01:27:58.880 Engage the previous more divisive. Just so just looking at 1756 01:27:58.880 --> 01:28:01.760 this though, and it's a pretty looking game. Also, Yeah, 1757 01:28:01.800 --> 01:28:05.800 I did enjoy engagees kind of bright color palette and this. 1758 01:28:05.800 --> 01:28:08.520 This is like a good compromise I think between Engaged, 1759 01:28:08.560 --> 01:28:11.920 which could sometimes be garish maybe with its color choices, 1760 01:28:12.560 --> 01:28:15.399 three Houses, which was sometimes a bit bland and muted. 1761 01:28:15.479 --> 01:28:17.199 I think they got the right balance here. 1762 01:28:17.239 --> 01:28:18.079 Just looking at this. 1763 01:28:18.279 --> 01:28:20.520 Yeah, it feels like they're going back to say Awakening, 1764 01:28:20.640 --> 01:28:22.560 which I think there's a lot of elements in here 1765 01:28:22.560 --> 01:28:25.319 where I'm like, stylistically, it's going back to Awakening, which people, 1766 01:28:25.479 --> 01:28:27.279 a lot of people, include myself, still say is the 1767 01:28:27.319 --> 01:28:29.960 best they've played, because I do love that game, and 1768 01:28:30.000 --> 01:28:31.760 so I'm excited to see them go back to that 1769 01:28:31.840 --> 01:28:34.359 and also do some interesting stuff with the story. 1770 01:28:35.600 --> 01:28:38.239 I am. I'm super in the mood for one of these. 1771 01:28:38.279 --> 01:28:40.279 I also see, of course you can send characters to 1772 01:28:40.319 --> 01:28:42.119 a hot spring together because. 1773 01:28:42.000 --> 01:28:45.880 It's Yeah, because anime, you should like, what are we 1774 01:28:45.920 --> 01:28:47.800 doing here.

There's kind 1782 01:29:17.239 --> 01:29:20.039 of a launch discount on that thirty percent off until 1783 01:29:20.079 --> 01:29:23.119 August eighth. There's some funkiness with this game, like you 1784 01:29:23.159 --> 01:29:27.199 need like a separate subscription from your normal Final Fantasy subscription. 1785 01:29:27.239 --> 01:29:28.920 I think just because of the light and the Nintendo 1786 01:29:29.359 --> 01:29:32.479 stuff works if you want to do that ultimate thing. 1787 01:29:32.800 --> 01:29:35.399 It's a little bit complicated. Also, it's huge, so it's 1788 01:29:35.399 --> 01:29:38.039 like one hundred and seventeen gigabytes. Sure right to play 1789 01:29:38.039 --> 01:29:41.159 this because it's an MMO. So I spent last night 1790 01:29:41.239 --> 01:29:44.439 just kind of clearing space on my SD card to 1791 01:29:44.520 --> 01:29:49.399 prepare myself. I'm very excited to try this version out. 1792 01:29:49.520 --> 01:29:51.760 I have a good bit of ketchup to do with 1793 01:29:51.880 --> 01:29:55.119 down Trail before ever Cold the new expansion comes out. 1794 01:29:55.560 --> 01:29:57.119 Last year, so I'm hoping this is going to be 1795 01:29:57.159 --> 01:29:59.000 a good way for me to kind of work through 1796 01:29:59.079 --> 01:30:00.439 that main story quest. 1797 01:30:00.920 --> 01:30:05.680 Yeah, I've despite not playing much of Final Fantasy fourteen, 1798 01:30:06.079 --> 01:30:11.560 I've bought it twice already PlayStation and on on Steam, 1799 01:30:11.960 --> 01:30:13.840 and I think I'm gonna buy it a third time, 1800 01:30:14.520 --> 01:30:16.920 but this time I will play it because Final The. 1801 01:30:16.800 --> 01:30:19.840 Funny thing is, you kind of don't need to buy 1802 01:30:19.880 --> 01:30:22.960 it just yet. So I was thinking about this hypothetically. 1803 01:30:23.000 --> 01:30:25.159 So you do need Switch online for this, correct? 1804 01:30:25.319 --> 01:30:26.359 Yes, yeah, that's all right. 1805 01:30:26.520 --> 01:30:29.399 Okay, so you need Switch Online and then if you 1806 01:30:29.520 --> 01:30:33.479 play the recent expansions, you'll need a separate subscription. Unfortunately, 1807 01:30:33.560 --> 01:30:36.439 it's not like it is with a PlayStation PC, where 1808 01:30:36.560 --> 01:30:38.680 you can buy subscription on one and like works on 1809 01:30:38.720 --> 01:30:41.039 the other or something like that. I forget because I 1810 01:30:41.039 --> 01:30:44.640 just always do PC nowadays. But you'll need to buy 1811 01:30:44.680 --> 01:30:48.039 like a specifically the Final Fantasy fourteen switch subscription because 1812 01:30:48.079 --> 01:30:52.760 I guess Nintendo needs to cut or whatever. Hypothetically. 1813 01:30:52.880 --> 01:30:56.279 Sorry, real quick shot maple QB and our twitch chat says, No, 1814 01:30:56.399 --> 01:30:58.000 you do not need Switch online. 1815 01:30:58.880 --> 01:31:01.359 Okay, you don't need Switch on line. Wow, that's not missinfo. 1816 01:31:01.439 --> 01:31:03.359 Everybody that's not asking if you needed this. 1817 01:31:05.640 --> 01:31:10.039 I'm confused. I'm confused that works. How could it possibly work? Yeah, 1818 01:31:10.439 --> 01:31:12.439 you need it both, but if you don't need switch online. 1819 01:31:12.439 --> 01:31:14.600 I thought that was the messaging at first, but okay, 1820 01:31:14.640 --> 01:31:18.439 so then it's even better because with the free trial, 1821 01:31:18.960 --> 01:31:21.880 like Final Fantasy fourteen at this point is just six 1822 01:31:21.960 --> 01:31:24.720 Final Fantasy games in one, and the free trial is 1823 01:31:24.880 --> 01:31:27.479 basically just the first four of those at this point. Yeah, 1824 01:31:27.520 --> 01:31:29.479 it's a lot of freaking game to just download and 1825 01:31:29.479 --> 01:31:31.640 play for free. Yeah, it's like literally two hundred to 1826 01:31:31.680 --> 01:31:34.119 three hundred hours just to like get through that stuff, 1827 01:31:34.119 --> 01:31:36.800 and like that's the refree I think the free trial 1828 01:31:36.800 --> 01:31:39.880 includes Shadow Bringers. So the free trial includes the first 1829 01:31:39.880 --> 01:31:43.479 three expansions, so a lot of the best stuff honestly 1830 01:31:43.640 --> 01:31:46.439 at that point. So yeah, you'll be good for quite 1831 01:31:46.560 --> 01:31:47.680 a while with that. 1832 01:31:49.600 --> 01:31:53.800 For folks asking Final jantsy is coming after Pokemon Worlds. 1833 01:31:54.000 --> 01:31:59.520 It happens Pokemon Monday Night Combat. We we will uh 1834 01:32:00.039 --> 01:32:03.319 sunset the gym, well we'll we'll close it for renovations 1835 01:32:03.399 --> 01:32:05.760 and then open up Final Jantasy fourteen. 1836 01:32:07.840 --> 01:32:11.039 Oh alrighty neck, Yeah, I'm righty too. I'm excited for that. 1837 01:32:11.159 --> 01:32:13.119 You do have you figured out what like race you're 1838 01:32:13.159 --> 01:32:15.000 going to be? Are you going to be a fellow 1839 01:32:15.760 --> 01:32:16.039 with me? 1840 01:32:16.399 --> 01:32:16.640 Say? 1841 01:32:16.680 --> 01:32:18.600 Look, I know it's a it's always where when you 1842 01:32:18.600 --> 01:32:20.520 talk about these things, because you just throw the word 1843 01:32:20.600 --> 01:32:22.239 race out in a different context. 1844 01:32:22.319 --> 01:32:23.479 Huh. 1845 01:32:23.800 --> 01:32:25.880 I'd like to throw any race app Mike, what do 1846 01:32:25.920 --> 01:32:26.239 you mean? 1847 01:32:26.439 --> 01:32:29.880 Yeah? Wow, Look I like the rabbit ladies. 1848 01:32:30.760 --> 01:32:32.680 Yeah, I thought you're going to pick a rabbit lady. 1849 01:32:32.960 --> 01:32:38.560 What do you mean? Nothing? All right? Next up here 1850 01:32:38.960 --> 01:32:44.119 is Dave Patiss and talks to replace Ryan Hurst as Kratos. Okay, 1851 01:32:44.720 --> 01:32:48.079 this is far as Amazon MGM Studios to say pictures 1852 01:32:48.119 --> 01:32:51.600 TV show where this is not finalized or anything. Ryan 1853 01:32:51.640 --> 01:32:54.199 Hurst was like, they released a photo of Ryan Hurst 1854 01:32:54.239 --> 01:33:00.560 as Creatos makeup costume, Yeah, received, yeah, or episodes and 1855 01:33:00.600 --> 01:33:04.640 then he tours Bicep and uh, well that is that? 1856 01:33:05.119 --> 01:33:08.640 Apparently Batisa just did the Highland of reboots, so hey, 1857 01:33:08.840 --> 01:33:09.600 shouldn't they. 1858 01:33:09.439 --> 01:33:12.039 Get someone who's not larger than Credos. 1859 01:33:12.720 --> 01:33:16.000 He's off the gas. 1860 01:33:16.039 --> 01:33:20.399 You know they're gonna have to use trick photography to 1861 01:33:20.600 --> 01:33:24.560 make him appear smaller so that he could be the 1862 01:33:24.560 --> 01:33:25.039 god of all. 1863 01:33:25.119 --> 01:33:27.479 He resembles a human being at this point, he does 1864 01:33:27.560 --> 01:33:28.000 he probably. 1865 01:33:28.000 --> 01:33:29.760 I bet he would look pretty good. I'm just surprised 1866 01:33:29.800 --> 01:33:34.479 because like, this is a bigger name, right, huge, just 1867 01:33:34.600 --> 01:33:38.079 a huge name, so to be able to kind of 1868 01:33:38.159 --> 01:33:40.439 rope that in. Maybe it's because of time, because before 1869 01:33:40.520 --> 01:33:45.279 maybe Batista was in consideration but was working on Highlander. Uh, 1870 01:33:45.319 --> 01:33:47.880 and now it's like, well that's done. Now we don't 1871 01:33:47.920 --> 01:33:50.119 have that problem, so you can maybe come in here. 1872 01:33:50.800 --> 01:33:54.439 It's funny because Batistas often wanted to be Marcus Phoenix 1873 01:33:54.520 --> 01:33:57.760 in the Gears and Gears of War movie, right, you. 1874 01:33:57.760 --> 01:34:00.680 Know, I don't want that for that. 1875 01:34:00.119 --> 01:34:02.439 He's always looks like him. But so he'll be in it, 1876 01:34:02.680 --> 01:34:04.640 as as Grub points out, here, will be in a 1877 01:34:04.680 --> 01:34:10.520 different geow perhaps cool dude. 1878 01:34:10.399 --> 01:34:19.600 Like, oh yeah, yeah, okay, do like I doesn't seem impossible, right, please? 1879 01:34:20.920 --> 01:34:26.960 You know I I love Dave. I would aren't they 1880 01:34:26.960 --> 01:34:28.720 also replacing the child? 1881 01:34:29.239 --> 01:34:29.760 I don't think. 1882 01:34:30.760 --> 01:34:33.399 I don't think so that. 1883 01:34:34.680 --> 01:34:37.479 I could have sworn, keep me honest, Chats, I could 1884 01:34:37.520 --> 01:34:42.039 have sworn that they're also having to repel for season two. Okay, 1885 01:34:42.079 --> 01:34:45.560 perhaps that's what it is, man. I mean, look, it's 1886 01:34:45.680 --> 01:34:48.359 it's an Amazon thing. It's going to be impossible to 1887 01:34:48.640 --> 01:34:50.199 watch and see I just. 1888 01:34:50.399 --> 01:34:53.039 That's that's just the time skift thing, because season two, 1889 01:34:53.079 --> 01:34:56.680 I guess will be based off ragnar Rock again. Like 1890 01:34:56.800 --> 01:34:59.880 of me, it's like those those games have so much story. 1891 01:35:00.159 --> 01:35:02.760 I feel like I've already seen that God of War 1892 01:35:02.800 --> 01:35:05.159 TV show. It was called God of War the video 1893 01:35:05.239 --> 01:35:05.680 game set. 1894 01:35:08.039 --> 01:35:08.560 I get it. 1895 01:35:08.560 --> 01:35:10.600 It's different. I know that's reductive. 1896 01:35:11.199 --> 01:35:14.520 No it's not. I just I'm surprised you're saying that, Mike, 1897 01:35:14.560 --> 01:35:17.720 I thought of you differently. But also you know, I 1898 01:35:17.760 --> 01:35:22.800 think like there's fun you can have there. I'm more 1899 01:35:22.840 --> 01:35:25.479 interested because like I'm just more interested, like where the 1900 01:35:25.479 --> 01:35:27.479 direction they kind of do, Like how ground did they 1901 01:35:27.560 --> 01:35:29.640 kind of make it? I think that's to me the 1902 01:35:29.680 --> 01:35:33.279 most intriguing part of it, And just the story they 1903 01:35:33.359 --> 01:35:36.199 want to tell. How grounded is that story? Is it 1904 01:35:36.239 --> 01:35:38.880 going to be this sort of like over the top insanity. 1905 01:35:39.279 --> 01:35:40.840 I mean, none of the stuff in the game's happened. 1906 01:35:42.880 --> 01:35:45.119 That's still out for the discovery, Dan, we have to 1907 01:35:45.119 --> 01:35:49.840 do more carbon testing, you know, we have to really 1908 01:35:49.880 --> 01:35:53.039 figure it out. But no, I mean I don't know. 1909 01:35:53.119 --> 01:35:55.279 I also don't know how badly I want a God 1910 01:35:55.319 --> 01:35:56.039 of War show. 1911 01:35:56.960 --> 01:36:00.920 I will say if Dave Batista's involved with it. My 1912 01:36:01.239 --> 01:36:06.920 interest suddenly jumps up. Yeah too interested now versus God 1913 01:36:07.039 --> 01:36:09.680 keep it away from me and he can't get hurt. 1914 01:36:09.920 --> 01:36:12.840 If anything, the show will get hurt from him. Like 1915 01:36:12.960 --> 01:36:15.239 he like, I'm not worried about his. 1916 01:36:15.399 --> 01:36:19.439 Hillwords through the hurt brother. He walks for miles inside 1917 01:36:19.479 --> 01:36:22.239 this strait of danger. It's true rights. 1918 01:36:22.399 --> 01:36:26.119 I heard, Oh, man, that's such a cool interest with 1919 01:36:26.159 --> 01:36:27.039 the freaking like get. 1920 01:36:29.199 --> 01:36:29.399 Yeah. 1921 01:36:29.560 --> 01:36:32.399 Speaking of cool things for cool people, square Enix says 1922 01:36:32.439 --> 01:36:37.239 the strange Kingdom Heart's artwork was human error and not a. 1923 01:36:37.920 --> 01:36:41.640 Dave Batista druid, and he just wasn't sure about the details. 1924 01:36:42.159 --> 01:36:44.079 So Rob and I talked about this on on game 1925 01:36:44.119 --> 01:36:44.720 as yesterday. 1926 01:36:44.760 --> 01:36:46.640 I heard that.

And then we see this 1958 01:38:30.199 --> 01:38:32.560 and it's like, oh, all the alarm bells go off 1959 01:38:32.880 --> 01:38:35.239 and they're just like, now we just got like shitty 1960 01:38:35.359 --> 01:38:37.239 artists is essentially what they're saying. 1961 01:38:37.800 --> 01:38:40.279 How are they going to possibly find any good artists 1962 01:38:40.279 --> 01:38:44.279 at Square Emix and Disney. 1963 01:38:44.439 --> 01:38:46.840 That's the craziest spot though, is how did this get 1964 01:38:46.880 --> 01:38:50.279 by Disney? Right? Like, I am assuming that there's some 1965 01:38:50.399 --> 01:38:53.880 type of approval process with anything relating to Disney, but 1966 01:38:53.960 --> 01:38:54.439 I don't know. 1967 01:38:55.279 --> 01:38:58.199 Disney loves Ai, don't forget like they want to feed 1968 01:38:58.239 --> 01:39:02.720 all their characters into sour or whatever the other the other. 1969 01:39:02.760 --> 01:39:09.279 So they broke that deal, but they've changed the way 1970 01:39:09.279 --> 01:39:11.560 they feel. It just means that they realize what public 1971 01:39:11.600 --> 01:39:15.880 perception is. I think maybe the most likely thing here 1972 01:39:16.119 --> 01:39:18.319 is that people are theorizing Oh wait a second. The 1973 01:39:18.439 --> 01:39:22.079 Japanese box art is different in that it is the 1974 01:39:22.159 --> 01:39:26.399 same nomber of art, but almost all I think it 1975 01:39:26.439 --> 01:39:28.359 was all I didn't follow this too closely because I'm 1976 01:39:28.359 --> 01:39:30.920 just like, well, this all sucks, but I believe almost 1977 01:39:30.960 --> 01:39:34.039 all of the details that look weird were obscured on 1978 01:39:34.079 --> 01:39:38.039 the Japanese art, and so oh, they just used AI 1979 01:39:38.159 --> 01:39:41.000 to extend the art when they rearrange things to fix, 1980 01:39:41.119 --> 01:39:44.840 like to fit North American bees, And maybe that's the 1981 01:39:45.479 --> 01:39:48.079 truth in the middle ground of square Enix saying, oh, 1982 01:39:48.079 --> 01:39:50.560 we didn't generate it with AI. We just used a 1983 01:39:50.600 --> 01:39:52.800 human who was kind of stupid and didn't notice that, 1984 01:39:52.880 --> 01:39:54.920 you know when they extended it that they made some 1985 01:39:54.960 --> 01:39:57.279 mistakes happening. 1986 01:39:57.319 --> 01:39:59.119 Oh I'm looking at this because yeah, like that hand 1987 01:39:59.159 --> 01:40:04.199 of Donald Ducks's behind Sora a different version, So yeah, okay, 1988 01:40:04.319 --> 01:40:06.760 I could see. So you know, you're a giant bomb. 1989 01:40:06.760 --> 01:40:09.960 We have Dan Reikert, who when Adobe tells him I'm 1990 01:40:09.960 --> 01:40:12.000 going to use AI to fix this for you, he's 1991 01:40:12.000 --> 01:40:14.239 smart enough to say no. But square Enix they don't 1992 01:40:14.239 --> 01:40:15.880 have a Dan Reikert. They don't have someone who will 1993 01:40:15.920 --> 01:40:18.479 say no, I will not use the generative AI bond. 1994 01:40:18.600 --> 01:40:20.079 That's the problem with square Enox. 1995 01:40:20.159 --> 01:40:21.319 That's the problem Dan. 1996 01:40:21.479 --> 01:40:24.720 Yeah, yeah, that almost gosh. As you say that, now, 1997 01:40:24.760 --> 01:40:27.359 I'm like, that's almost certainly what happened here, And like 1998 01:40:27.399 --> 01:40:30.600 now they're like maybe even square Enix is confused at 1999 01:40:30.600 --> 01:40:33.680 this point about what happened. I don't know there is. 2000 01:40:33.680 --> 01:40:36.439 A separation there, I can tell. I don't know personally 2001 01:40:36.479 --> 01:40:39.880 anyone at either branch, but I feel like there's a 2002 01:40:39.880 --> 01:40:43.399 separation between squaring ks in Japan and like the Western representatives. 2003 01:40:43.439 --> 01:40:45.399 So maybe there's like a breakdown communication. 2004 01:40:46.239 --> 01:40:51.079 Yeah, show me the pro create files, Show us the files. 2005 01:40:50.640 --> 01:40:52.680 Show us the time laps, show us the time labs 2006 01:40:52.720 --> 01:40:53.079 come on. 2007 01:40:54.680 --> 01:40:57.199 Also, going back to placing in discs, there was an 2008 01:40:57.199 --> 01:41:00.279 earnings call and they were finally asked about the whole Hey, 2009 01:41:01.399 --> 01:41:05.279 you're still gonna do that, and they acknowledged the backlash 2010 01:41:05.359 --> 01:41:07.039 and they're like, yeah, we're still We're still We're still 2011 01:41:07.079 --> 01:41:08.479 going to do that. Actually. 2012 01:41:08.640 --> 01:41:08.960 Uh. 2013 01:41:09.159 --> 01:41:12.319 Sony's offering profit rose forty percent during its first quarter, 2014 01:41:12.359 --> 01:41:16.760 helped by gaming and image sensors. It increases full operating 2015 01:41:16.920 --> 01:41:20.239 profits forecast by eight percent. Sony sold one point six 2016 01:41:20.479 --> 01:41:23.479 million places FCE systems during the quarter, down roughly one 2017 01:41:23.560 --> 01:41:29.000 third year over year, but gaming profitability remained strong. During 2018 01:41:29.039 --> 01:41:32.359 the discussion, CFO Metal acknowledged the opposition to Sony's plan 2019 01:41:32.399 --> 01:41:36.119 to stop manufacturing disc for new PlayStation releases beginning in 2020 01:41:36.199 --> 01:41:39.640 January twenty twenty eight, but said the company would cautiously 2021 01:41:39.760 --> 01:41:44.159 move forward around eight. Yeah, around eighty percent of Sony's 2022 01:41:44.159 --> 01:41:47.720 full game sales were already digital during fiscal twenty teven. 2023 01:41:47.720 --> 01:41:49.119 It means that they're going to continue to shut the 2024 01:41:49.159 --> 01:41:53.279 fuck up about it for the most part. I assume yeah, okay, yeah, 2025 01:41:53.399 --> 01:41:55.880 Grub says here. Lintal is the one. Per is the 2026 01:41:55.920 --> 01:41:57.880 person who said in an earnings call a few quarters 2027 01:41:57.880 --> 01:42:01.079 back that PlayStation's plan is to tomize the impact of 2028 01:42:01.199 --> 01:42:05.319 rising memory costs by focusing on monetizing the installed based 2029 01:42:05.359 --> 01:42:08.960 and growing software and network services revenue. You already see 2030 01:42:09.000 --> 01:42:13.159 that strategy effect because again, console sales were down like 2031 01:42:13.199 --> 01:42:16.560 a third, but the profitability was still there. Because again, 2032 01:42:16.600 --> 01:42:22.800 it's all about kind of squeezing that very dedicated consumer base. Eventually, 2033 01:42:22.960 --> 01:42:27.239 Stones do run out of water, would be my cautionary 2034 01:42:27.960 --> 01:42:28.960 tail there. 2035 01:42:29.399 --> 01:42:36.560 Stones explain this to dannused. 2036 01:42:38.079 --> 01:42:42.960 Like squeezing water on the stone. Wow, because that's what 2037 01:42:42.960 --> 01:42:47.520 I'm saying. It's the word water before It's okay, what 2038 01:42:47.600 --> 01:42:50.520 you mentioned. I got my idioms mixed up. I'm sorry everybody, 2039 01:42:50.520 --> 01:42:52.119 but you get the point, right. There's only so much 2040 01:42:52.119 --> 01:42:54.640 there's to squeeze. 2041 01:42:55.159 --> 01:42:56.680 The biblical idiom, but. 2042 01:42:57.199 --> 01:42:59.520 It was short. One time you had to squeeze water 2043 01:42:59.560 --> 01:43:02.000 from the stone with the. 2044 01:43:02.000 --> 01:43:03.439 Blood, and it says blood from a stone. 2045 01:43:03.439 --> 01:43:06.479 You should know that that is real crazy. 2046 01:43:06.520 --> 01:43:10.239 If blood came out of stones, cool, it would be 2047 01:43:10.239 --> 01:43:10.720 pretty had. 2048 01:43:10.760 --> 01:43:13.319 I would be diving into rocks right now with how 2049 01:43:13.399 --> 01:43:14.600 much is. 2050 01:43:14.479 --> 01:43:17.279 Actually probably some water in stones. There's no blood in them, 2051 01:43:17.319 --> 01:43:18.479 so I feel like mine's better. 2052 01:43:18.560 --> 01:43:20.199 You're not looking hard. 2053 01:43:20.079 --> 01:43:22.680 Enough, little about water and all sort of thing. The 2054 01:43:23.439 --> 01:43:28.159 reeks of sorry you got mad, like sorry, sorry, Like 2055 01:43:29.039 --> 01:43:33.119 anytime a CEO, CFO whoever like comes out and says, well, 2056 01:43:33.199 --> 01:43:35.920 you know, you have to understand that things are progressing 2057 01:43:36.000 --> 01:43:38.159 and this is the future. It's it's just like looking 2058 01:43:38.199 --> 01:43:40.239 down on the rest of us and be letting us like, 2059 01:43:40.479 --> 01:43:43.039 all right, all right, you idiots getting mad over there. 2060 01:43:43.079 --> 01:43:45.319 Shut up. We're doing this either way, and we're just 2061 01:43:45.359 --> 01:43:47.760 gonna like write you off that that's all this reeks out. 2062 01:43:48.000 --> 01:43:52.520 Yeah, it's it's funny. I there was like the Wolverine 2063 01:43:52.680 --> 01:43:55.840 trailer for an update trailer or teaser that came out, 2064 01:43:55.880 --> 01:43:58.359 and then I was like scrolled down, looked at the 2065 01:43:58.359 --> 01:44:02.720 comments and everyone is talking about discs. Yep, it's it's crazy. 2066 01:44:03.640 --> 01:44:05.359 You know. The problem is I wonder if people will 2067 01:44:05.359 --> 01:44:08.119 stick to their convictions, stick to their guns on like 2068 01:44:09.039 --> 01:44:12.920 either doing a soft boycott or only buying the game 2069 01:44:13.000 --> 01:44:14.840 on on disc or whatever. I don't know. 2070 01:44:15.279 --> 01:44:18.039 Well, tragically, I don't think it'll move the needle at all. 2071 01:44:18.079 --> 01:44:22.399 I think the reason though, that this is so popular 2072 01:44:22.760 --> 01:44:27.039 because it is so unpopular, right, Like, there's not anyone 2073 01:44:27.079 --> 01:44:29.720 who I mean, there are a few fringe weirdos who 2074 01:44:29.720 --> 01:44:32.479 are like, you know, embracing and ushering in the death 2075 01:44:32.520 --> 01:44:35.039 of physical media with open arms, right Like, for the 2076 01:44:35.039 --> 01:44:38.319 most part, people are generally in agreement. They're like, this 2077 01:44:38.399 --> 01:44:42.840 is a net negative, right right, And and very and 2078 01:44:42.960 --> 01:44:46.159 frequently is there some sort of topic that like the 2079 01:44:46.199 --> 01:44:48.399 majority of people can get behind together and all root 2080 01:44:48.600 --> 01:44:51.239 against the same sort of thing tragically. 2081 01:44:50.920 --> 01:44:53.960 Because they're taking something away from us, Like anytime you 2082 01:44:54.039 --> 01:44:56.319 take something away from people that doesn't need to be 2083 01:44:56.359 --> 01:44:59.399 taken away. They could have just let physical media peter out, 2084 01:44:59.439 --> 01:45:01.560 like it is in all the other aspects you don't 2085 01:45:01.600 --> 01:45:04.079 like or even like, become niche. You know, CDs are 2086 01:45:04.079 --> 01:45:06.840 still produced. There's still millions of CDs on the market 2087 01:45:06.880 --> 01:45:10.199 every year, a small market. Yeah, vinyls coming back. 2088 01:45:10.319 --> 01:45:12.359 It really just like because then they have to have 2089 01:45:12.399 --> 01:45:15.079 a disk drive and they don't want to eat different 2090 01:45:15.159 --> 01:45:18.159 optional disk drive right like like we have right now. 2091 01:45:18.199 --> 01:45:19.960 They don't want to be mad. 2092 01:45:20.520 --> 01:45:23.479 Yeah, And it's ownership. It's just coming in its ownership. 2093 01:45:23.920 --> 01:45:26.359 That's I realized. We just got finished talking about a 2094 01:45:26.359 --> 01:45:30.039 story that rubs against it. But yeah, it's it's it's 2095 01:45:30.159 --> 01:45:32.159 the the thing everyone needs to be more upset about 2096 01:45:32.279 --> 01:45:34.640 is the ownership part of it, all right, and not 2097 01:45:34.720 --> 01:45:37.119 the thing that like I can't hold this in my hands. 2098 01:45:37.199 --> 01:45:39.720 It's the ownership when it boils down to it. 2099 01:45:40.880 --> 01:45:44.560 Yeah, all right, that is it for the news. Thanks 2100 01:45:44.560 --> 01:45:48.000 again to Jeff Grub for putting that together, for us 2101 01:45:48.119 --> 01:45:51.600 handing the show back over to you, Jan even though 2102 01:45:51.640 --> 01:45:53.239 I'm not your co captain, it's okay. 2103 01:45:53.359 --> 01:45:56.039 I'm not mad.

First email comes from Nathan from Osceola, Wisconsin, 2119 01:46:52.159 --> 01:46:55.279 and this is to Dan. Dan, it was a little 2120 01:46:55.319 --> 01:46:58.600 surreal seeing you hanging out around my hometown while you 2121 01:46:58.600 --> 01:47:01.680 were camping with Minmax. If you're ever in the area again, 2122 01:47:01.800 --> 01:47:05.079 I highly recommend checking out the Wisconsin side of Interstate Park. 2123 01:47:05.319 --> 01:47:09.680 It's Saint Croix Falls. It's incredible. Anyway, gang, do you 2124 01:47:09.680 --> 01:47:12.920 have any must visit state or national park recommendations or 2125 01:47:13.000 --> 01:47:16.119 hikes around while they still exist? A long time first 2126 01:47:16.119 --> 01:47:19.199 time Nathan, Osceola, Wisconsin. 2127 01:47:19.960 --> 01:47:21.840 Yeah, gosh, I haven't been able to make it to 2128 01:47:21.880 --> 01:47:24.039 many of the big ones, so kind of kind of 2129 01:47:24.039 --> 01:47:26.479 all of them.

Yeah, right, all right, definitely, 2131 01:47:30.680 --> 01:47:36.399 that's high up there, even just like Yosemite things like that. Yeah, 2132 01:47:36.520 --> 01:47:38.159 I'm really able to do much. 2133 01:47:38.520 --> 01:47:41.840 Went to Zion in Utah a couple years ago and 2134 01:47:41.880 --> 01:47:42.560 that was beautiful. 2135 01:47:42.800 --> 01:47:44.960 And Bryce Canyon is near there. 2136 01:47:45.279 --> 01:47:49.960 Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, if you live in California or 2137 01:47:50.000 --> 01:47:53.159 near Yosemite, you have to just make it out over there. 2138 01:47:53.319 --> 01:47:55.720 I know that. It's just like very busy now, the 2139 01:47:55.760 --> 01:47:58.640 tourist wise and people clamoring to go there, but it 2140 01:47:58.760 --> 01:48:01.079 lives up to it. It's fun and gorgeous. It makes 2141 01:48:01.119 --> 01:48:04.920 you think about the scale and your place in the world. 2142 01:48:04.960 --> 01:48:06.840 It's beautiful, also fun. Gift shop. 2143 01:48:08.199 --> 01:48:11.880 Oh yeah, I'm there for the gift shop.

But Hawaii is a place that I 2147 01:48:19.800 --> 01:48:23.760 just think really should be experienced by by everyone. I 2148 01:48:23.800 --> 01:48:27.000 know it's it's tough to get there and it's not 2149 01:48:27.159 --> 01:48:31.920 the most accessible, but it's incredible. It's basically represents like 2150 01:48:32.039 --> 01:48:40.000 every biome imaginable on Earth. You can see everything from 2151 01:48:40.199 --> 01:48:45.800 desert to rainforest to snow capped mountains. It is amazing, 2152 01:48:46.000 --> 01:48:52.319 and the volcanic situation there is mind blowing. It is 2153 01:48:52.520 --> 01:48:57.079 incredibly a young island in terms of the age of 2154 01:48:57.119 --> 01:49:01.199 our planet, set of islands rather and that stuff is nuts. 2155 01:49:01.199 --> 01:49:03.279 And you start to find out like, oh, Hawaii is 2156 01:49:03.319 --> 01:49:07.199 getting way bigger. It's it's on its way. It's gonna 2157 01:49:07.199 --> 01:49:09.640 be even bigger and bigger and bigger. Stick around a 2158 01:49:09.640 --> 01:49:11.880 couple tens of thousands of years. Man, there's gonna be 2159 01:49:11.880 --> 01:49:13.800 a brand new island that will have to name. But 2160 01:49:13.880 --> 01:49:14.840 that's very exciting. 2161 01:49:16.840 --> 01:49:19.239 Oh yeah, it is a long flight. Would rather take 2162 01:49:19.239 --> 01:49:19.680 your boat? 2163 01:49:19.920 --> 01:49:25.039 I would imagine if we did that.

Both work five days a week, 2227 01:52:44.960 --> 01:52:47.399 and because they don't have a union, the shifts are 2228 01:52:47.439 --> 01:52:52.199 long enough to accommodate your lifestyle. Both have incredible British accents. 2229 01:52:52.439 --> 01:52:55.920 Both are world class professionals. The driver has whatever car 2230 01:52:56.000 --> 01:52:59.039 you want them to drive.

I 2903 02:26:19.239 --> 02:26:21.159 don't want to spoil anything, but I was looking at 2904 02:26:21.159 --> 02:26:25.040 the footage that when I handed you the camera on 2905 02:26:25.079 --> 02:26:26.719 this little little. 2906 02:26:26.399 --> 02:26:28.079 Guy while I was taking a little trip. 2907 02:26:28.280 --> 02:26:31.200 Yes, well you're taking a little trip. I was like, yeah, right, 2908 02:26:31.319 --> 02:26:34.559 yeah that happened. Huh yeah, yeah, always that's the audio. 2909 02:26:34.600 --> 02:26:35.440 Can you hear what we're talking. 2910 02:26:35.479 --> 02:26:35.840 It was good. 2911 02:26:35.879 --> 02:26:38.600 It was good, very good, all right, deep conversation. 2912 02:26:38.680 --> 02:26:41.479 Yeah. Yeah. Also, one of my favorite things that we 2913 02:26:41.520 --> 02:26:45.760 have put out on the website recently is Chuck and 2914 02:26:45.799 --> 02:26:50.239 Sean diving into the Sega Saturn and showing you folks 2915 02:26:50.280 --> 02:26:53.399 how to get into the guts of that very quick. 2916 02:26:53.440 --> 02:26:56.159 Go check that one out. I think we want to 2917 02:26:56.200 --> 02:26:59.639 do more stuff like that. You know, Grubbs mentioned me 2918 02:26:59.719 --> 02:27:02.639 and him home and maybe Chuck or someone else building 2919 02:27:03.399 --> 02:27:06.639 DIY steam machine steam oasses out there for anyone to 2920 02:27:06.719 --> 02:27:10.159 use an AMD parts. So yeah, Chuck had that idea. 2921 02:27:10.159 --> 02:27:12.319 I think it was a really good idea of people 2922 02:27:12.319 --> 02:27:14.799 always tell you, you know, use your old legally acquired 2923 02:27:14.840 --> 02:27:18.319 backups when you're emulating, but nobody ever actually like tells 2924 02:27:18.319 --> 02:27:20.360 you how to do that because, you know, in part 2925 02:27:20.399 --> 02:27:22.920 because maybe they assume you'll do something else, but maybe 2926 02:27:22.959 --> 02:27:25.079 they want someone else to be the people who give 2927 02:27:25.120 --> 02:27:26.920 you that guide. And we did do that guide for 2928 02:27:27.040 --> 02:27:29.520 the Saturn. Chuck set that all up and that was 2929 02:27:29.559 --> 02:27:31.200 a fun time. So definitely go back and check that 2930 02:27:31.239 --> 02:27:31.600 one out. 2931 02:27:31.799 --> 02:27:35.719 Yes, yes, one hundred percent, thank you folks for joining 2932 02:27:35.760 --> 02:27:38.479 us for the Giant BombCast.
