47
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,759

48
00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:52,759

49
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:58,759

00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:09,599
all right, yeah, every day is Valentine's Day on the slopes.

53
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,360
I mean, come on, but I it wasn't expected to

54
00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:14,960
do anything like over the top. I mean, come on,

55
00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:17,840
is a big deal. You got a lot of playing,

56
00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:19,199
a lot of equipment to haul.

57
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,879
Speaker 1: For the daddy's in the group here, which is just

58
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,199
two of them are all found. Thank you, thank you.

59
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,639
I needed that to for my fragile ego. Have you

60
00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:33,120
found Valentine's Day with the little Gimmicks has changed because

61
00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:35,560
now you just foist all the stuff onto the little

62
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:36,560
gimmick instead?

63
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I understand for three people now instead of

64
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,000
just one.

65
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I was gonna say that's not what you

66
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:46,080
meant jan right.

67
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: No.

68
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,479
Speaker 1: I was thinking like, oh, Dylan, now it's your responsibility

69
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,560
to make the Valentine's Day for your mom.

70
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, like I'm going to rely on that for anything.

71
00:03:55,919 --> 00:04:00,560
What are you talking about? What are you I spent

72
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,520
some of my Valentine's Day inside of an igloo and

73
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,360
it was awesome, and I was like, you know what,

74
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,159
they should offer this as a place to live all

75
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,439
year round, because I don't want to go anywhere.

76
00:04:10,719 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: It's awesome any summer.

77
00:04:12,639 --> 00:04:17,759
Speaker 5: Igloos are the best. I've decided the best way to live, the.

78
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 2: Best Number one. How's the internet in a nickel? Fine?

79
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,879
Speaker 5: Fine, Fine, And it's fine here too. I'm on my

80
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,079
third modem in six months, Mike, So everything's peachy.

81
00:04:32,519 --> 00:04:32,879
Speaker 2: Okay.

82
00:04:33,399 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 4: I think I still put houseboat above igloo back on

83
00:04:37,079 --> 00:04:41,680
my ranking of houses and domiciles, us not beating houseboat.

84
00:04:41,879 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: Houseboat can move.

85
00:04:44,399 --> 00:04:46,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's part of the problem I think is that

86
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,240
it can move and get me nauseous.

87
00:04:50,199 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: Are you thinking grub a houseboat on like a river

88
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,720
or like just out in the open? I mean a

89
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,000
lake or a river, probably at lake like the New

90
00:05:01,079 --> 00:05:04,160
Roadhouse like that. Yeah, Like I want to be of

91
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,800
exactly like Jake Jonenhall in the New Roadhouse.

92
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Roadhouse. He's always walking around like that.

93
00:05:13,319 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, that's me. I got crazy eyes. I'm

94
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:17,319
gonna hurt you.

95
00:05:19,399 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 5: So I spend I spend some time. While I was skiing,

96
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,480
there was an igloo. I got to the like like

97
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,040
ten thirty. People are like drinking like heavy cocktails at

98
00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:30,000
ten thirty during their ski.

99
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: Day in the morning, they're trying to kill themselves. Like right,

100
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,439
that's what they're trying to do.

101
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 5: Pretty dangerous. But yeah, it's like I just I was

102
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,199
surprised at how many people were inside the igloo, like

103
00:05:41,399 --> 00:05:51,360
many drinks deep at ten thirty in the morning.

104
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,519
Speaker 3: The exactly maybe like two adults and a child could

105
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,360
sit cross leg it in right, Yes, it wasn't a

106
00:05:58,519 --> 00:05:59,879
fucking cartoon folk.

107
00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:04,399
Speaker 1: You need to specify all right, by one point of reference.

108
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 5: I mean this I substantial I'd say on the inside,

109
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,279
like two thousand, three thousand square feet, like very large.

110
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 2: That's more like a big glue.

111
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 5: And everybody I'm posting in our chat, but like it

112
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:27,519
was substantial, like it was a very large igloo that

113
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:32,879
could probably hold I would say seventy five people comfortably.

114
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,759
Speaker 2: Christ make that. I don't know how they do it.

115
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:42,079
They do it's like together this was lot so yeah,

116
00:06:44,439 --> 00:06:46,120
snow and then they pad it down with water.

117
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 5: It's got to be some sort of like core foundation, right,

118
00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:50,959
like they have to. I'm sure, Like the way you

119
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,160
build like a tent, like an outdoor tent, I would

120
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:56,079
imagine it has like a steel sort of frame and

121
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,319
then they somehow like it's.

122
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 2: A large igloos but not like that real shit.

123
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:05,759
Speaker 5: I mean it's it was enormous and like, oh my god.

124
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:08,800
The pretzels there was like great pretzels there.

125
00:07:09,839 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 2: After.

126
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 5: Dude, like I said, geese, that's all I need in

127
00:07:12,759 --> 00:07:16,079
like cheese. I'm not moving. Uh there might have been cheese.

128
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,199
Speaker 3: You got a pretzel and no cheese.

129
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:18,959
Speaker 2: Mustard.

130
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 5: I think it was like a garlic. It was like

131
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,240
a garlic sauce with a case.

132
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:23,519
Speaker 3: That sounds pretty good too.

133
00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: That's delightful.

134
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:25,879
Speaker 5: That's had some champagne.

135
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,959
Speaker 2: It's worth okay in champagne. That's good. I uh yeah.

136
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,279
I went down to Florida. It was my girlfriend and

Speaker 5: Down there.

00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 2: Not very few, very few it gos in Florida. It's

141
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,480
funny because like it was in the seventies or maybe sixty,

142
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,279
so a lot of them were freezing, and I felt

143
00:07:49,879 --> 00:07:51,920
so happy to be there. It's such a cold winter.

144
00:07:51,959 --> 00:07:53,639
It's warmed up a bits as I got home, but

145
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,480
I remember just walking from my car to the airport

146
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,720

147
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,720

00:08:08,399 --> 00:08:12,319
Speaker 2: Mike, Yeah, yeah, that's fantastic. One of my uh when

151
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,160
my drinks came in a glass that looked like a

152
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,639
pig and they put like what looked like a cigar

153
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,800
but now it's just kind of a scented rolled up

154
00:08:19,079 --> 00:08:21,360
paper thing and it was on fire, and you know,

00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:24,040
they they they play a song and they do a

156
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,480
whole thing. And I got to drink out of my

157
00:08:25,519 --> 00:08:28,720
pig and I was very very happy. Uh Oh. I

158
00:08:29,079 --> 00:08:31,199
finally went to the Cirk Desillay show in Disney Springs.

159
00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:32,559
I didn't go to a theme park, but we went

160
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,840

city walk. It's like a city walk. It's much bigger.

167
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,480
Than City Walk. Yeah, very similar. Yeah, Clay is like

168
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,639
a permanent show there. So we saw that and it

169
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,399
was awesome and one of the like funny people in

170
00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:04,440
the show, I saw my boat head and like jumped

171
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,480
out the stage and kissed that at one point and

172
00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:09,240
that was fun. And then some cast member came running

173
00:09:09,279 --> 00:09:12,399
at me to give me my badge. Afterwards it says,

174
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,639
I'm celebrating best audience performer at certain delayed Drawn to life,

175
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:22,960
So now I have this forever. So that felt, Dude,

176
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,360
I love the best audience member. Yeah. Have a bit

177
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:28,960
of trouble getting home though, Like it was supposed to

178
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,679
be Sunday night. I'm like, okay, maybe Monday. I'll check

179
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,000
out that Diabo two stuff which I'm going to add

180
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,919
to the rundown Jeff by the way, and then uh

181
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,799
what else? And then we get there like, oh, it's

182
00:09:38,799 --> 00:09:41,480
delayed a little bit because of the storm here. That's okay,

183
00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:44,559
get on the plane we're taxing for now. And then

184
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,120
they're like, oh, it's delayed real bad now because there's

185
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,279
fog over there. So we get off the plane and

186
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,559
they're like, oh, so how delayed are we And then

187
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,720
they're like, would you believe that. You know, it's already

188
00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:59,120
midnight there, ten forty pm tomorrow. Oh boy, right.

189
00:10:00,039 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 3: I feel like I used to never have flight delays

190
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,559
and crazy flight bullshit, and I feel like in the

191
00:10:04,639 --> 00:10:08,200
last oh, let's say year or so, like eighty percent

192
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,600
of my travel has gotten fucked up in someone.

193
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, weird. I've never had to get on a plane

194
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,000
and be told to get off thing before, and happened

195
00:10:16,039 --> 00:10:17,279
twice in the last few months.

196
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that happened like four times in a day to me.

197
00:10:20,279 --> 00:10:21,960
Not that was it the bomaiton or Game of the

198
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,080
Year or something like, yeah.

199
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,399
Speaker 2: Game of the year. Yeah, yeah, I mean, and you know,

200
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,840
it's like, I get it. There's fog over there. I

201
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,240
don't want to land over there and then have to

202
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,440
drive through fog for an hour anyways, and then once

203
00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:33,639
like you know, no planes are landing there, then of

204
00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:35,120
course it's going to take a while to get all

205
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,159
the planes there. So so I did get it. My

206
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,120
problem is I was real angry for a bit because

207
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,080
all the all the restaurants were closed and there weren't

208
00:10:44,159 --> 00:10:46,679
vending machines even or even like the Hudson News thing

209
00:10:46,759 --> 00:10:50,320
was closed. There's just no way to get food, so

210
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:50,759
you got it.

211
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,039
Speaker 3: That's why your carry on bag you always got to

212
00:10:53,039 --> 00:10:54,879
have like two or three protein bars in there, just

213
00:10:54,879 --> 00:10:55,679
in case the bullet.

214
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: But luckily, once they got I like the terminal, like

215
00:10:58,279 --> 00:11:00,759
the main hub area, there was a single mc donald's opened.

216
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,720
Oh I've never been happier to see McDonald's in my life,

217
00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:06,240
and I went, I went. I went embarrassingly hard at

218
00:11:06,279 --> 00:11:13,399
that McDonald's. No. No, I got a double double quarter

219
00:11:13,399 --> 00:11:15,919
pounder combo large for a large drink and ten nuggets.

220
00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:21,879
That seemed like that. Okay, that's that seems and you

221
00:11:21,879 --> 00:11:25,639
were angry. Yeah, it's just angry. Yeah, yeah, it was

222
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,519
good then, like you know, I do it could go

223
00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:30,919
back to my girlfriend's house, but she was asleep and

224
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,440
I didn't know she had to work the next days.

225
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,159
I'm like, I don't want a car, like I come

226
00:11:34,279 --> 00:11:37,399
drive another thirty minutes and come get me. Uh yeah.

227
00:11:38,039 --> 00:11:39,639
Luckily E actually kind of like woke up on her

228
00:11:39,639 --> 00:11:41,240
own and saw and said I could come over. So

229
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,639
I was. I was saved. That was fine, and I

230
00:11:43,759 --> 00:11:45,399
just got to hang out a bit more and it

231
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,559
was all right. I got bumped got bumped up to

232
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:52,679
the big uh big f C the first class come

233
00:11:52,759 --> 00:11:56,600
for free. Yeah, living it up on there. Man. It

234
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:01,799
was free. It's great and somehow now an incredible coincidence.

235
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,919
The the flight attendant was just on the cheek. No,

236
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,480
it's a patient my girlfriend or not like that is

237
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:12,840
a patient of my father's. What what what? How did

238
00:12:12,879 --> 00:12:17,759
this getting me up? Uh? I don't know. Somehow my

239
00:12:17,919 --> 00:12:22,679
dad texted me like, oh hey, uh I know that

240
00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:24,240
with the flights in your flight. I don't know how

241
00:12:24,279 --> 00:12:26,279
I came. I think when I told my dad, well.

242
00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:35,279
Speaker 6: Well, they're texting during their affair. I'm sorry. We have

243
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:40,480
to eliminate that as a possibility. Now explain yourself. These

244
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,120
circumstances are almost unbelievable.

245
00:12:43,159 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: I think. I think so when I told my dad

246
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,759
my dad's always very concerned about my safety when I'm traveling, like, oh,

247
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,000
the flight's been canceled. I think the next day he

248
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,600
just texted a flight attendant patient of his that he

249
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,080
knew worked for Breeze and was like, I don't just

250
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,480
like ask about it and she's probably yeah, that's flight

251
00:13:00,519 --> 00:13:03,879
Oh so and then you know they figured it out from there, right,

252
00:13:03,919 --> 00:13:08,960
I think she I think she the f C. Did

253
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,320
she give you the f C I think has thoughts here.

254
00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:16,759
Speaker 5: It's just a level of access here. It's just on professional.

255
00:13:17,759 --> 00:13:19,480
I can't get on with this, Like what are we

256
00:13:19,519 --> 00:13:20,000
doing here?

257
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 2: Man?

258
00:13:21,039 --> 00:13:24,759
Speaker 5: I chext it in a fucking flight attendant favor to

259
00:13:24,799 --> 00:13:26,720
see if little Mikey's okay.

260
00:13:26,879 --> 00:13:30,039
Speaker 2: It sounds pretty on brand for him, to be honest. Actually,

261
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,399
just like we're working weird connections to try to affect

262
00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:37,600
things he can't affect for my safety, like when blades

263
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:38,919
take off in land.

264
00:13:40,159 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 5: And I'm sorry, what is this fictional airline you're flying?

265
00:13:45,279 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 2: The airlines it's it's a smaller airline, but they have

266
00:13:49,639 --> 00:13:52,720
direct flights out of a smaller airport and Akron it's

267
00:13:52,759 --> 00:13:54,679
really nice because the Aquin because you know, it's it's

268
00:13:54,759 --> 00:13:57,360
it's cheaper. But it's not like a Frontier or a

269
00:13:57,399 --> 00:14:02,000
Spirit where it's you know, like the like the get Yeah,

270
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,360
it's like you have no space between seats and like

271
00:14:05,399 --> 00:14:08,120
they still have a first class section things like that.

272
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:13,159
Speaker 5: Right, second question follow up, describe first class on Breeze Air.

273
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 2: It's just like all the other ones. You get only

274
00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:19,480
two seats per little section, nice and tons of laker

275
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,919
and stuff for he drinks, including it's nice and even

276
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,480
though I didn't ask for it. She slipped me a

277
00:14:25,519 --> 00:14:27,600
bag of peanut m and ms. I was like, that's all,

278
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,879
you know, if I asked for them.

279
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,919
Speaker 1: Are you sure you want to be talking about this

280
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,360
on the podcast, Mike. We know your girlfriend listens to this.

281
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 2: This is not egregious, just as a favorite of my dad,

282
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,320
and it's got some free peanut m and ms. I. Look,

283
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:41,840
I say, I'll give him to her next time. What

284
00:14:41,879 --> 00:14:45,480
she wants. I don't even really actually, but I just

285
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,000
I like the gesture, right. It is not a suggest all.

286
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 4: Right, all right, this is the kind of thing that

287
00:14:51,279 --> 00:14:54,240
happens like, uh, like, what's the Jim Carrey movie where

288
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:54,639
he is.

289
00:14:55,399 --> 00:14:58,399
Speaker 2: Yes, the Truman Show show. Yeah, but Mike's not like

290
00:14:58,480 --> 00:14:59,519
a Truman Show situation.

291
00:14:59,879 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 4: Had dad is like producing a show about his life in.

292
00:15:04,279 --> 00:15:10,679
Speaker 2: The class problem, the problem. It's working out. Yeah.

293
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: We we're just the aggressive side characters in your life.

294
00:15:14,039 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: Ye, Dad, it's working on great. I want to. I

295
00:15:17,159 --> 00:15:20,840
gotta talk to your dad, man, Yeah, I get these

296
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,480
cats together. I want to.

297
00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 3: I wanted to talk to him on content as well,

298
00:15:24,639 --> 00:15:26,799
and Mike always tells me it would be very disappointing.

299
00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 5: I don't need it for content. I don't want to

300
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,200
like explore you want to do that, man.

301
00:15:32,799 --> 00:15:35,159
Speaker 2: I just want to I just want to podcasts.

302
00:15:34,679 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: We should do in that brain we should all do

303
00:15:37,399 --> 00:15:39,799
a dad swap and do a podcast with each other's dads.

304
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,639
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, back, that's going to be that duo.

305
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,159
Speaker 2: I know. I can't imagine my dad. I think would

306
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,720
have a brainanderism of worry if Dan Record was his son,

307
00:15:56,639 --> 00:15:58,840
very much, it was very like worrying far like oh

308
00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:01,799
you know, he still me to text him my like flight,

309
00:16:01,919 --> 00:16:04,120
like oh yeah, I'm at the airport. Now, I'm in

310
00:16:04,159 --> 00:16:10,440
the plane. Now I'm home. It's you can sleep now, father.

311
00:16:10,919 --> 00:16:14,159
Does doctor Minotti do the same with your brothers? Oh yeah,

312
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,600
yeah yeah, oh for sure, for sure.

313
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,519
Speaker 5: And you're the oldest right No, I'm I'm in the middle.

314
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:23,679
Speaker 2: Shocking. I know it's not shocking. Yeah.

315
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,399
Speaker 5: I just like I have a similar thing with my

316
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,240
dad and I'm just like Dad, I'm forty three, Like

317
00:16:27,279 --> 00:16:27,600
what are we?

318
00:16:27,639 --> 00:16:28,639
Speaker 2: What are we doing here? Bud?

319
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:29,759
Speaker 5: What's happening?

320
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,399
Speaker 2: I always hate to say it, but I'll be like, look,

321
00:16:31,639 --> 00:16:34,320
if something happens to the plan, I bet you'll find out.

322
00:16:36,759 --> 00:16:38,399
You don't need you don't need to hear about it

323
00:16:38,399 --> 00:16:38,879
from me.

324
00:16:39,879 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 5: So look, I'm not saying it's not cool that dads

325
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,960
still care, but I think like the way they present

326
00:16:46,039 --> 00:16:48,600
their care is UH is.

327
00:16:48,519 --> 00:16:51,039
Speaker 2: A lot well you know, I mean there's a way

328
00:16:51,039 --> 00:16:51,240
to do.

329
00:16:51,399 --> 00:16:55,039
Speaker 4: I experienced it. It's like I care, but only because

330
00:16:55,039 --> 00:16:58,000
it's really causing me a ton of stress. Like I like, like,

331
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,679
if you get hurt, that's gonna be a lot of

332
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:00,480
problem for me.

333
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,079
Speaker 2: So that's like happening up front.

334
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 5: Sadly. I think you're correct. I think it is more

335
00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:10,960
of like, look, would be great for you to survive

336
00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:11,920
this trip.

337
00:17:13,519 --> 00:17:17,319
Speaker 2: Emotionally damaged. I'll be if you die, Like it doesn't

338
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:17,960
happen to you.

339
00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 5: All the supernatural ship I can.

340
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 2: I've loaded up all the crystals.

341
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, rubbing in the closet.

342
00:17:27,279 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, folks.

343
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: We we've been in an egg glue. We've been on

344
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,880
the FC of a plane. Any anything else significant happen

345
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,960
over the three day weekend I had UH.

346
00:17:37,079 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 3: I had Valentine's Day dinner at white Castle Lovely. Yeah,

347
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,279
it was fantastic. It was really really fa reservations. They

348
00:17:45,279 --> 00:17:47,680
have candlelight. They were like, you know, roses on the table,

349
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,359
and stuff like that, and it's just so fun to

350
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,359
seeing all the people that work there that like just

351
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,880
one day a year, they're like waiting tables and it's like,

352
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,440
I wonder if that's like fun for them where it's like, oh,

353
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,480
this is like a unique day of work, or if

354
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,119
it's like, oh, we gotta do the fucking Valentine and

355
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,039
ship but they get tips and stuff, which they didn't

356
00:18:03,079 --> 00:18:04,480
really I asked about that. It's like, how do we

357
00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:05,720
do we tip here? And they're like, well, you got

358
00:18:05,799 --> 00:18:08,119
to do like if it's not cash, it's like Zelle

359
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,599
or Venmo and it's like I play some cash on

360
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,039
the table here. But yeah, I wonder if they like it.

361
00:18:13,039 --> 00:18:14,480
It's a I thought it was a fun thing. It

362
00:18:14,519 --> 00:18:17,839
was like a mix of like younger couples and then

363
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,759
extremely old couples.

364
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 2: That's what you want. That's how you know you're to

365
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:23,480
find establishment.

366
00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: Did the menu change it all dan or was it

367
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:26,799
just the same?

368
00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 3: It was the exactly. I mean, they have like a

369
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,039
fold out menu.

370
00:18:29,079 --> 00:18:29,599
Speaker 2: I've got to hear.

371
00:18:29,599 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 3: It's like, you know, it is Valentine's Day themed and everything,

372
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,960
and it's like but it's just like sliders and they

373
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,680
had limited time, Triple Cheese tots.

374
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 2: I got those.

375
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,559
Speaker 3: Those were great. Yeah, I had a really good time

376
00:18:38,559 --> 00:18:40,640
with that. And then we went to Applebee's and got cocktails,

377
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,400
and then we saw Nirvana, the band of the movie The.

378
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,599
Speaker 2: Show which where was that? Go see? I need to

379
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,240
go so bad. I've been watching I've been watching it

380
00:18:48,319 --> 00:18:50,759
like clips NonStop. So this is unfortunately, I think this

381
00:18:50,839 --> 00:18:53,000
very stupid question. I know the answer now, but this

382
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,920
is not actually about Nirvana.

383
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 5: Huh.

384
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:55,759
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

385
00:18:55,759 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 3: It is the movie of a show that's been It

386
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,039
was a web series, then it was the show.

387
00:19:00,039 --> 00:19:03,279
Speaker 2: Today we shop Wednesday. I looked recently that it's those

388
00:19:03,319 --> 00:19:04,039
people and now.

389
00:19:04,759 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 3: And they are they heard geniuses. The show has always

390
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,799
been genius. This movie is right in line with the show.

391
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,279
It is absolutely fantastic. I talked to Mary Cash who

392
00:19:13,279 --> 00:19:15,359
went in knowing nothing, and she thought it was a documentary.

393
00:19:15,519 --> 00:19:18,480
And that's hilarious. If you've seen the movie, that's so funny. Okay,

394
00:19:18,599 --> 00:19:22,119
that's great, that's incredible stuff. And so also Matt Johnson then,

395
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,960
one of the guys who did that BlackBerry movie. He's

396
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,279
they're they're awesome. I love those guys.

397
00:19:27,279 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 2: He's extremely talented. Yeah, boy, when I was at that

398
00:19:30,039 --> 00:19:33,039
tiki bar and they were They're One of the cocktails

399
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,640
was called face Off, and I start I texted Dan

400
00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:38,799
immediately very excited, but then I just kept getting more

401
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,440
drunk at the tiki bar and like capt texting and

402
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,240
then made us order one so we can get it

403
00:19:44,279 --> 00:19:46,119
to and be like, look, Dan, it's a face Off

404
00:19:46,319 --> 00:19:49,920
like that movie. You're like. He's like, He's like, yeah,

405
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:55,559
that's great, Mike. Remember the name of the boy everything. Yeah,

406
00:19:55,559 --> 00:19:57,319
you were very, very better than I did. I had,

407
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,440
I had a lot. They had another trick there that

408
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,480
came in like a diver helmet and it was like

409
00:20:01,519 --> 00:20:06,839
a mule that was called the Bends. That's right, not

410
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,359
that guy, not the not the face spaghetti game, the

411
00:20:11,519 --> 00:20:15,039
internal you know your Intrail spaghetti game. Yes, where your

412
00:20:15,079 --> 00:20:17,640
body gets all smitched together. Yeah, I want to go

413
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,799
see that movie. Though, I want to. I want to

414
00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:21,839
know not much more about it than the fact it's

415
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,160
not a documentary about Nirvana, and then I want to go.

416
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 3: See it has nothing to do with the band Nirvana.

417
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,119
I think you should just go see that have.

418
00:20:28,079 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: Anything to do with Nirvana the band though.

419
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 3: Yes, two Ends, Yeah, incredible, incredible, show. Seriously, people haven't

420
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:35,880
seen it. It's one of the best I've ever seen.

421
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 4: It's like I'm getting more excited about it, like I'm

422
00:20:38,759 --> 00:20:40,720
hearing great things, but then just going back and watching

423
00:20:40,759 --> 00:20:42,960
all those clips, it's like, oh, yeah, some people actually

424
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,039
are funny because I'm so used to to that, like

425
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,200
YouTube clips or shorts on on like Instagram, where it's like, oh,

426
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,000
this is comedic, I'm sensible chuckling. Maybe I'm usually not

427
00:20:53,039 --> 00:20:56,200
cracking up, And I'll watch two things from Navranda the

428
00:20:56,279 --> 00:20:58,599
band of the show, and it's the funniest shit I've

429
00:20:58,599 --> 00:21:00,400
ever seen. They are little genius.

430
00:21:00,519 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 3: I put it up there with like Arrested Development or

431
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,880
Nathan Fielders stuff. You know, it is like that level

432
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,000
of great which Backlar, Are you.

433
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,039
Speaker 2: Familiar with the movie at all?

434
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 5: I know about this movie.

435
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 3: Yes, Do you know, like, what is a major crux

436
00:21:11,519 --> 00:21:14,640
of the plot of the movie. No, Okay, I'll just

437
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,039
say this. Back to the Future is a massive part

438
00:21:18,079 --> 00:21:19,599
of this movie.

439
00:21:19,039 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 2: It is the future.

440
00:21:20,759 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 3: Back to the Future. It was the core of this movie.

441
00:21:24,759 --> 00:21:25,759
Speaker 5: Okay, that's funny.

442
00:21:25,839 --> 00:21:29,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very very very good. That's a good movie. Yeah.

443
00:21:30,079 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 3: It was honestly, like the perfect weekend because it was

444
00:21:32,559 --> 00:21:36,440
just like I beat a game, I wrote a review

445
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,440
of a game that'll be going up in the near future.

446
00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:40,920
So I basically just played a game the whole weekend

447
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,960
and then saw movie a Why Castle had some drinks.

448
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,000
It was just like, that's that's an ideal three day weekend.

449
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 2: It's amazing Prime four again. He gave it two stars

450
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,799
this time. I just can't stop playing it.

451
00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:54,599
Speaker 3: It's crazy now that I think about it, Like.

452
00:21:56,279 --> 00:21:58,799
Speaker 1: I know it's still early access, but Dan reviewed Lord

453
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,680
insisted we did.

454
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 4: It's very funny now, dang he because you do know

455
00:22:05,839 --> 00:22:08,039
every time you review a game it's gonna be Oh

456
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:08,799
so this is.

457
00:22:08,759 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 2: Worse than that.

458
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,279
Speaker 3: For I messaged you and I said, like, I'm I

459
00:22:12,319 --> 00:22:16,759
just have to retire. To retire, yeah, that question forever

460
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,839
anything I don't get five stars like, oh so okay,

461
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,160
so Metroy Prime is better than this.

462
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 2: That's your life ready for it? Bring it on? All right? Uh?

463
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,440
Grab any anything? Any fun festivities.

464
00:22:30,839 --> 00:22:35,319
Speaker 4: We got a heart shaped pizza from jets Nice.

465
00:22:35,599 --> 00:22:36,599
Speaker 2: I also I also.

466
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 4: Beat a video game, and then we made some chocolate

467
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,400
covered strawberries, like you could buy those and super expensive

468
00:22:41,799 --> 00:22:44,240
make them at home. That ship's awesome. Hell hell, and

469
00:22:44,319 --> 00:22:45,839
I just ate that all week and it was good.

470
00:22:47,079 --> 00:22:49,759
Speaker 1: I say this not to be sad or a Debbie downer,

471
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,039
but this is my first Valentine's uh being single in

Speaker 2: Exactly. I couldn't do it before.

478
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,079
Speaker 1: I had this small yachatry grill that I bought years ago,

479
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,920
and like the special charcoal, I lit that bitch up

480
00:23:20,279 --> 00:23:22,279
and then I grilled the fucking fish.

481
00:23:22,599 --> 00:23:24,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then you do whatever you want.

482

Speaker 2: Thank you. Yeah.

502
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: You know, if if you're seeing somebody new, if you're

503
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,119
starting dating somebody and you want to introduce your interest

505

be a good barometer, you know.

506
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 2: Hey, yeah, right now, yeah, this this scene right here.

507
00:24:28,519 --> 00:24:31,759
Speaker 1: This, Yeah, the person that had you listen to the podcast,

508
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,359
they paid off all of my student loan debt.

509
00:24:35,839 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 2: Amazing.

510
00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, folks, let's talk about games.

511
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 2: That's a great interest segment. Everybody, good jobs.

512
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:53,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm really we're changing the review skill to.

513
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,519
Speaker 2: Starbursts too, by the way, especially, it.

514
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,519
Speaker 3: Would be very funny if we started doing mal stuff

515
00:25:00,519 --> 00:25:01,799
where we just start adding stars.

516
00:25:03,839 --> 00:25:06,079
Speaker 2: It turns out to go up to eight stars all along.

517
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:07,799
Of course.

518
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking about the numbers and all that jazz Dan record,

519
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,319
You've been playing a game that I think we played

520
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,880
on a upf It feels like years ago cin Across.

521
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, we did it on the Team Next Fest thing,

522
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,079
and I think I knew immediately I was going to

523
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,400
like it because I like rogue lights and I love

524
00:25:26,519 --> 00:25:28,880
any form of pacrosse, and in terms of just like

525
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,960
standard pacrosse just lousy with them. You know, it's all

526
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,440
over the switch with all the Pacross S series and

527
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,079
all that stuff, and then you know, I still go

528
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,519
back and play three D the three D Pacross from

529
00:25:39,559 --> 00:25:42,599
time to time. This is a rogue Light take on it.

530
00:25:42,599 --> 00:25:45,240
It's like if you haven't kind of blatrode up pacrosse,

531
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,920
although it's maybe more like it's like Slay the Spire

532
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,559
with like it's got the map with the branching paths

533
00:25:50,559 --> 00:25:52,519
and you can choose like, Okay, here's a more difficult puzzle.

534
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,079
Here's a campfire where you can resource some HP, so

535
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,119
like you do have HP and things like that, and

536
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,359
you have a timer. So that's the big thing that changes.

537
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,519
Like across, here's pacrosse. I think a lot of people

538
00:26:02,519 --> 00:26:04,640
would see it as like a sudoku or a crossword

539
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,240
or something like that. You take your time with it.

540
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,279
This has a timer, so you have an overall like lifetimer,

541
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,279
and once it runs down, you start taking HP hits.

542
00:26:14,039 --> 00:26:17,079
So it's very interesting to like, it's a cool challenge

543
00:26:17,079 --> 00:26:19,119
for me because I consider myself like very good at pacrosse,

544
00:26:19,559 --> 00:26:21,920
and so it is really fun to like, oh, okay, I've

545
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,240
only got a minute forty left on my timer, and

546
00:26:24,279 --> 00:26:26,799
here's a level five difficulty thing that's gonna be like

547
00:26:26,799 --> 00:26:28,839
a twenty five by twenty five puzzle. I wonder if

548
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,480
I can beat it that fast. And like you are

549
00:26:30,519 --> 00:26:33,079
getting like consumables and things like that. There are shops,

550
00:26:33,079 --> 00:26:35,400
it's all the traditional roguelid elements and things like that.

551
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,240
So I can pop this thing and get an extra minute,

552
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,160
or I can press this thing and it'll like fill

553
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,759
in twenty random squares, or this will uncover all the

554
00:26:43,839 --> 00:26:46,839
cells and an X pattern or something like that. So

555
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,359
and you are getting artifacts, you know, kind of like

556
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,920
the joker type stuff. They are not I feel like

557
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,160
there's less you can do with pacrosse than you can

558
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,799
with poker because like the artifacts, I'll say aren't quite

559
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,880
as exciting as like the Balatro Jokers. It is stuff

560
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,799
where it's like, Okay, every every puzzle is going to

561
00:27:04,839 --> 00:27:06,920
have a certain amount of gold cells and you can fill.

562
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,839
If you fill these in in time, you're gonna get

563
00:27:08,839 --> 00:27:11,079
extra gold for the shop, and you'll get artifacts to

564
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,799
make them last longer or give you more gold and

565
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:19,200
things like that. It's it's not as exciting as far

566
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,559
as the artifact stuff, but even just the timing element

567
00:27:21,599 --> 00:27:23,240
of it, I think adds a ton. And then you

568
00:27:23,279 --> 00:27:25,319
do have your boss fights that that's a lot more

569
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,200
like Bilatro, where it's like there are gimmicks to each

570
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,839
boss fight so it's like, cool, okay, this one. Every

571
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,039
once in a while, the screen's going to turn red

572
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,119
and if you fill in a cell during that, you're

573
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,359
going to take an HP hit. There's ones where like, okay,

574
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,920
on this boss fight, the the numbers for the clues

575
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,079
spin around, so like they're just constantly spinning as you're

576
00:27:43,079 --> 00:27:45,039
trying to get out how many like nine ers out

577
00:27:45,039 --> 00:27:45,279
of six?

578
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 2: Is that? Yeah?

579
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 3: So certain things like that, but yeah, I will take

580
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,079
any twist on Picross, and I feel like there just

581
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:55,359
haven't been many, so I very much have enjoyed playing this.

582
00:27:56,279 --> 00:27:58,559
Speaker 2: Is there like a narrative Nope?

583
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 3: I mean I mean there's like some flavor texts and

584
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,000
stuff like you die and it's like oh the light

585
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:05,839
flickered out, and it's like, you know, there are like

586
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,480
allusions to a campfire and shops and stuff like that,

587
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,680
but there aren't like characters or there's no like.

588
00:28:10,759 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 2: Yeats selling or anything.

589
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 4: But it's not even like inscription right where it's like, oh,

590
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,519
you're gonna break away from Okay.

591
00:28:15,319 --> 00:28:17,319
Speaker 3: I'd say it's like as much as like a blattro,

592
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,759
which means pretty much anything. Maybe it's got more personality

593
00:28:20,799 --> 00:28:22,599
than it has like any kind of narrative you know,

594
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:24,240
got it?

595
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 2: Uh? This is this is the one point oh release

596
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,119
right Okay, it's out out so.

597
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 4: Like the idea, like it's not as exciting as some

598
00:28:33,519 --> 00:28:36,000
of these other ones, but it doesn't feel like that's

599
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:36,519
going to change.

600
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 2: This game is just what it is, right it is.

601
00:28:38,759 --> 00:28:40,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, And again I was trying to think, like, you know,

602
00:28:40,359 --> 00:28:43,319
what could you do, Like like with Blatro, there's just

603
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,400
so many different hands and cards and things like that.

604
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,039
I feel like there's just more you can do there,

605
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,119
and Pacross is just filling in squares based on what

606
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,279
numbers tell you. So, you know, I don't think this

607
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,319
it's not because this game didn't have good ideas. I

608
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,319
just don't think there's a lot you can do with

609
00:28:59,359 --> 00:29:01,319
that format as far as mixing it up with the

610
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,880
artifacts and all that stuff. So well, it does well

611
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,640
with what it can do, you know.

612
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,359
Speaker 4: And then last thing, like it does the Pit Cross

613
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,599
style stuff feel integral or like could they just like

614
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:13,519
swap this out for like.

615
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,599
Speaker 2: Sidoku and this game wouldn't change all that much?

616
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: Is it?

617
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,559
Speaker 2: Like do you feel like they're doing something very specific

618
00:29:18,599 --> 00:29:21,799
with the fundamental gameplay of a Pit Cross? Yeah?

619
00:29:21,839 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 3: I mean there, yeah, because it is stuff about like

620
00:29:25,559 --> 00:29:27,319
you know, your your abilities and your consumer boles and

621
00:29:27,319 --> 00:29:29,319
stuff are like you can choose like a dot on

622
00:29:29,359 --> 00:29:31,240
the grid and it'll fill in a five by five

623
00:29:31,279 --> 00:29:33,119
around it, or you know the X pattern stuff like

624
00:29:33,119 --> 00:29:35,240
that was like Sidoku is always just that kind of

625
00:29:35,279 --> 00:29:37,279
like you know, three x three nine by nine thing

626
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,839
you know across it can be all sorts of different

627
00:29:39,839 --> 00:29:41,119
configurations and stuff like that.

628
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: Dan, I've seen you absolutely murder at a game of Pitcross,

629
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:51,319
and Sodoku has a Rubik's Cube. Ever, culture interest at all.

630
00:29:51,319 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, list okay. I love logic puzzles. And as

631
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,279
a child when they would send me off to the

632
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,400
Gifted schol every Monday, they just surround you with logic puzzle.

633
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,119
So it's a bunch of like, oh, this person can't

634
00:30:04,119 --> 00:30:05,720
sit next to this person, this person has to have

635
00:30:05,759 --> 00:30:07,440
a red shirt, this person whatever, and then you got

636
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,319
your tangrams or let the tangrams. I was great at

637
00:30:09,359 --> 00:30:12,039
logic puzzles, great at the tangrams. If a cross had

638
00:30:12,039 --> 00:30:13,680
been around back then, holy shit, that would have been

639
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,200
all for me. But then they also had rubikscubes lay

640
00:30:16,319 --> 00:30:18,680
laying around everywhere, and try as I might, I would

641
00:30:18,759 --> 00:30:20,400
sit there for so long and try to figure that

642
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,880
thing out and something about just the spatial element of.

643
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 2: The Rubik's cube.

644
00:30:25,079 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 3: I could never quite like that. And the sliding puzzles

645
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,839
like a windwaker, you know the ones where it's like,

646
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,160
you know, you slide the squares around and you try

647
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,119
to make a picture something about that like I can

648
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,240
get like one or two squares where I need it

649
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,920
to be, and then I just I it all gets

650
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,359
sucked up when I try to change something like I

651
00:30:40,359 --> 00:30:43,039
cannot wrap my head around that. So I think logic

652
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,119
and numbers and things like that I'm very good at.

653
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,119
I think the spatial type stuff like that, like rubikscubes

654
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:48,880
and tile puzzles.

655
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 2: I just cannot do.

656
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: Speaking about spatial awareness. I think this may kill your

657
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,000
spatial awareness if you wear it too long.

658
00:30:56,519 --> 00:30:56,839
Speaker 2: Gang.

659
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: Not only is it Lunar New Year, it's also Virtual

660
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:01,039
Boys Day.

661
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 3: I drank my virtual boy mug this morning that I

662
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,000
got from the museum of course.

663
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, my brother had one those, but it

664
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,880
chipped already because mug suck. Oh wow.

665
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: Except our mugs that you can get at store dot

666
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:14,920
giant bomb dot com.

667
00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:21,519
Speaker 2: I wouldn't. I'll probably just break. Yeah.

668
00:31:21,559 --> 00:31:23,599
Speaker 5: I feel like if I went to your kitchen, Mike,

669
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,920
I'm gonna find some mugs, you.

670
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,759
Speaker 2: Will keep gifting them to me. I'm not gonna like

671
00:31:27,799 --> 00:31:29,960
throw them on the ground in front of them right

672
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:30,759
when I get Hey.

673
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: Hey, Mike, take your headphones off real quick. Okay, let's

674
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:35,000
all get him a mug.

675
00:31:35,279 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 3: I was just thinking, that's it, Like you shouldn't because

676
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:38,880
I think it's just funny if you just keep getting

677
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:39,559
a mugs forever.

678
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,279
Speaker 1: Now. Yeah, like every in person event we go to

679
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:43,079
from here on, out.

680
00:31:43,119 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 2: Let's get him.

681
00:31:44,119 --> 00:31:45,759
Speaker 3: Does he have a po box? Can we tell everyone

682
00:31:45,839 --> 00:31:46,680
to send a mugs?

683
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 2: I have, Yes, we have a shared one.

684
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 3: The front door.

685
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, absolutely what he wants you're playing in.

686
00:31:54,279 --> 00:31:57,119
Speaker 3: I don't think you honestly don't think you really don't think.

687
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 2: He wants more than two mugs there having a lot. Yeah,

688
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,079
but like Mike, Mike lives by by himself. He's he

689
00:32:05,599 --> 00:32:07,039
doesn't need that many mugs.

690
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,759
Speaker 3: No, that's why it's funny if he has like exactly

691
00:32:09,839 --> 00:32:17,519
exactly yeah, and like okay, okay, cool, okayeh, headphones, I'm back.

692
00:32:17,599 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 2: I got I bet nothing was discussed about me personally. Nothing.

693
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: So the virtual boy Gang this is where you take

694
00:32:24,519 --> 00:32:27,559
your switch to and throw it into like a visor thing.

695
00:32:27,839 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 2: Right, it's it's over there. It's okay. I did get

696
00:32:32,759 --> 00:32:37,279
mine in. I put it together, so I'm ready to go. Oh,

697
00:32:37,279 --> 00:32:40,200
look at it's it is. Come on, it's beautiful. I

698
00:32:40,279 --> 00:32:41,720
know it's such a good looking for you so hard.

699
00:32:41,759 --> 00:32:43,519
I know it became a joke and it's a failure,

700
00:32:43,559 --> 00:32:48,640
but look at this thing. It's yeah, it's got viper red.

701
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,519
Speaker 3: It just looks like it is so stupid, and I

702
00:32:52,559 --> 00:32:55,039
love it. So much, even like this morning, I sit

703
00:32:55,119 --> 00:32:57,200
down on the coffee table and I'm like, here we go.

704
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,720
And like, I never really spent much time playing the

705
00:32:58,759 --> 00:33:00,480
Virtual Way. Maybe five minutes at a uncle Land in

706
00:33:00,519 --> 00:33:04,240
nineteen ninety five and I started playing and I was like, oh,

707
00:33:04,279 --> 00:33:08,680
these games suck. It's like, but I'm still so happy.

708
00:33:08,759 --> 00:33:10,839
I was like, this is such a ridiculous thing, and

709
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,440
this thing actually works very well at like doing the

710
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,559
three D effect. It works way better than I expected. Like,

711
00:33:18,839 --> 00:33:20,680
like we joke about it. It's a one hundred dollars

712
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,519
piece of plastic, which it is, but it does do

713
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:24,880
what the Virtual Boy was supposed to do.

714
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 2: It's pretty cool. Yeah, I'm kind of excited because I

715
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,519
never had the lab of v R thing and this

716
00:33:29,559 --> 00:33:32,519
will work for like like Smash Brothers on Switch has

717
00:33:32,559 --> 00:33:35,480
a kind of VR mode just you know, it makes

718
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,480
some really three e I don want to try to Yeah,

719
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,359
and we're it works in this Virtual Boy thing, and

720
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,000
I'm like, okay, I'll do that. Sure.

721
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,359
Speaker 4: Honestly, I think it's just like Mario runs around the beach.

722
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,880
I guess I didn't explore it too much, but I

723
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,759
think it's just like, isn't this fucking crazy, and I'm like, oh, okay,

724
00:33:51,799 --> 00:33:53,039
that's it so kind of.

725
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,279
Speaker 3: You see Mario's nipples and three D Virtual.

726
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 2: Boy have to download. I'm going insane. It's just.

727
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,359
Speaker 3: People are like a clock the pipe.

728
00:34:00,359 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 2: I don't think it's I don't. I have no idea.

729
00:34:02,279 --> 00:34:07,920
Probably not when I shut down, because a virtual point,

730
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:09,559
that's that'd be crazy.

731
00:34:10,119 --> 00:34:12,079
Speaker 4: But no, I get through the shop and then it's

732
00:34:12,119 --> 00:34:14,679
like all right, click the button, free download, and then it's.

733
00:34:14,639 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 2: All right, hair every time it's it's frustrating. Is this true?

734
00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:21,159
Speaker 3: Chap says that you can play all of Breath of

735
00:34:21,159 --> 00:34:22,239
the Wild, and VR.

736
00:34:22,079 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 2: Believe that's true. I believe that's.

737
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,119
Speaker 3: In this Virtual Boy because that sounds like an unbelievably

738
00:34:29,159 --> 00:34:30,159
fun and stupid thing to do.

739
00:34:31,159 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 4: Take Have you taken the red filter off yet to

740
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,559
see like just the raw pixels?

741
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: No?

742
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 2: I have not it.

743
00:34:38,519 --> 00:34:41,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, because they're gonna sell different filters, I think,

744
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:42,719
or give you the where you have.

745
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,639
Speaker 2: Filters, they're gone. They're gonna have different filters. So like

746
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,280
when you play it, remind me, can you play these

747
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,599
games on the app without like any of this stuff?

748
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 3: Was just like, don't be ridiculous. How is that supposed

749
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:55,400
to work.

750
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 2: So you can't play it docked, which was one of

751
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,760
the stories weren talk about news. Let's just talk about

752
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,960
it now. You can't play it doc but when you

753
00:35:03,039 --> 00:35:05,079
take it out of that, out of the dock, you

754
00:35:05,119 --> 00:35:05,800
can boot it up.

755
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 4: But it's going to be the two eyes as soon

756
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,239
little screens side by side, and there's a thing you

757
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,199
can do to make them a little bit bigger, but

758
00:35:12,199 --> 00:35:13,440
they still look pretty.

759
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,159
Speaker 3: I am going to load up Breath of the Wild

760
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,039
and switch to and try and be a live on

761
00:35:17,039 --> 00:35:17,400
the show.

762
00:35:17,519 --> 00:35:22,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, please, wonderful? Yeah. Perfect. We got to figure out

763
00:35:22,199 --> 00:35:24,760
if we can somehow output this thing to a capture

764
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:25,920
cartoon while we're looking at it.

765
00:35:26,079 --> 00:35:30,039
Speaker 4: I mean, we can't because you can't play it well doned.

766
00:35:30,079 --> 00:35:31,880
So we'll just have to come up with a way.

767
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:33,559
Let's just play some Virtual Boy games.

768
00:35:33,599 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 2: It'll be fine.

769
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,199
Speaker 3: Okay, sure, Sure, you can't use the home button while

770
00:35:37,199 --> 00:35:39,159
it's in the Virtual Boy.

771
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:42,280
Speaker 2: How do you get back.

772
00:35:42,119 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 3: And just saying like you can't do this?

773
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: Wait second, don't you have you know, isn't their home

774
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,199
button on your joy cons?

775
00:35:47,599 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm hitting it on the controller and it's saying

776
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,440
you can't go to the home screen because it's in

777
00:35:51,559 --> 00:35:55,599
virtual mode. Is this only a virtual Boy?

778
00:35:55,679 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 2: Now? Yeah, it's virtual boy. Now you have to tap

779
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,000
the clothes. People are saying, tap, it's a tap close.

780
00:36:05,159 --> 00:36:08,599
Speaker 3: That's insane. Okay, there, it is all right, We're all right.

781
00:36:08,639 --> 00:36:09,559
I'm loading up at the while.

782
00:36:09,679 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: Yes, So have y'all gone the chance to play any

783
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,719
of the Virtual Boy games?

784
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:15,199
Speaker 2: Yes?

785
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 3: The first one I loaded up was three D Tetris.

786
00:36:18,559 --> 00:36:21,039
Speaker 2: Which, uh, yeah, that's not good.

787
00:36:21,159 --> 00:36:23,159
Speaker 3: It's not good at all, and that the frame rate's

788
00:36:23,199 --> 00:36:26,599
real bad. Then I played Telarro Boxer, which I was like, ooh,

789
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,599
punch out stock and it was also not very good.

790
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,480
I tried all of them and they were all not

791
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,320
very good, except for Warrio Land seemed like there might

792
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:36,000
be something there.

793
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 2: Waryland's great. That's just that's the one that's the most

794
00:36:39,079 --> 00:36:42,159
like the original Warland and gay Boy because after that one,

795
00:36:42,159 --> 00:36:44,639
which is mostly an action platform, after that the series

796
00:36:44,679 --> 00:36:47,679
became kind of, you know, very puzzle exploration base, which

797
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,679
is great. But this one's fun because it's more like

798
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,039
that original. It's Mario clash on there. I know some

799
00:36:52,079 --> 00:36:53,079
people don't like Mario.

800
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 3: Class It's it's only like seven or eight maybe right now,

801
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,280
because that was the first one I wanted to load

802
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:58,440
up and I did not see it there.

803
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 2: And do we not have Jack Bros? Yet? No? Not yet?

804
00:37:03,079 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 3: Okay, excuse me, you heard me? How did you toy

805
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,880
con VR goggles on? Oh my god? This is insane? Okay, yep,

806
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,800
there you go. It splits Breath of the Wild into

807
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:13,719
virtual mode.

808
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 2: That's weird. But are each of those images of smaller

809
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,039
resolution now like it has to be.

810
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's got the red filter. I'm gonna play. It's working,

811
00:37:23,599 --> 00:37:27,119
but it's all right filter you have to virtual boy,

812
00:37:27,159 --> 00:37:28,519
Breath of the Wild is insane.

813
00:37:29,559 --> 00:37:36,119
Speaker 2: Oh my god, man, Okay, that's incredible. This this looks

814
00:37:36,119 --> 00:37:36,639
so happy?

815
00:37:37,159 --> 00:37:39,639
Speaker 4: Is this headset sold out on the site for me?

816
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:41,039
It says I've reached my limits?

817
00:37:41,039 --> 00:37:43,119
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know. They had a second wave

818
00:37:43,159 --> 00:37:45,800
come out that was her stale for a bit, So

819
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,039
I'm not sure if you can so easily procure one

820
00:37:49,039 --> 00:37:49,639
of these things.

821
00:37:49,519 --> 00:37:51,519
Speaker 1: Normally I get a little bit of fomo when you

822
00:37:51,639 --> 00:37:54,400
hooligans go rush out by and any other thing.

823
00:37:54,679 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 2: Don't fear miss Absolutely this is not one of those

824
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,639
things though. So yeah, this is one of those five

825
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,119
year age gap things where it's like, oh, uh, all right,

826
00:38:04,159 --> 00:38:05,800
I had one of those with my girlfriend because she's

827
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,400
like five years younger than me, and it has not

828
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,039
ever felt even remotely like, oh, there's some kind of

829
00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:14,039
difference between us until episode one came up during this weekend.

830
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:21,360
She's like, I like that. I'm like, oh no, I

831
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,559
love episode Yeah, exactly, same demo.

832
00:38:24,599 --> 00:38:26,679
Speaker 3: There we go explain how the red filter? Is this

833
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,119
a physical thing that's in here?

834
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,639
Speaker 2: Yes, like a little doubt what I'm saying. Okay, I'm

835
00:38:31,679 --> 00:38:34,360
gonna try. I don't know what. I haven't taken that

836
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,119
out of mine yet, but uh, I.

837
00:38:36,119 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 3: Am confirming the wild completely works in VR.

838
00:38:39,159 --> 00:38:41,039
Speaker 2: This thing incredible.

839
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:45,119
Speaker 4: All Right, They're gonna they're gonna have other colored filters.

840
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 5: Physical filters.

841
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 2: Okay, what am I even in this thing? I don't

842
00:38:49,519 --> 00:38:50,519
know where this thing is.

843
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,159
Speaker 4: So I would take it out, but I know it's

844
00:38:52,159 --> 00:38:53,840
a physical filter you can take out.

845
00:38:54,079 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 2: I know, Like that doesn't really make any sense, but

846
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,840
it'd be so funny if Half Life Alex comes to

847
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,760
the Virtual Boy before it all out in PlayStation Yard two.

848
00:39:02,119 --> 00:39:05,800
There's a there's a world where it could happen. Is

849
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:10,400
not a world where that could happen? I don't know, grub,

850
00:39:10,639 --> 00:39:13,639
I don't know. Uh, just absolutely not.

851
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: As Dan continues to futs around with virtual reality. Uh,

852
00:39:18,119 --> 00:39:21,519
speaking about other horrors inflicted onto your eyes, Jeff, Backlar,

853
00:39:21,639 --> 00:39:26,719
you did a quick look last week of Realitible. I did,

854
00:39:27,519 --> 00:39:32,079
and that game is all right, all.

855
00:39:32,039 --> 00:39:36,199
Speaker 5: Right, moving on. No, I I'm really digging it. I

856
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,039
hit I've hit a couple of points where you know,

857
00:39:38,119 --> 00:39:39,960
I was trying to play it while I was away

858
00:39:40,119 --> 00:39:45,320
on my on my rock thing, and I don't think

859
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,800
this is this is actually a game where I'm like, no,

860
00:39:48,159 --> 00:39:51,199
I'm not gonna play this on my my handheld. It's

861
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,599
I don't know what it is. Maybe there's I think

862
00:39:53,639 --> 00:39:55,760
things may might just be like a little too small,

863
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,920
and I'm kind of just like squint into having a

864
00:39:59,039 --> 00:40:01,840
like notice like little areas that are that are you're

865
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,920
meant to explore and sort of trigger and activate. So

866
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,320
the first time I played a game where I'm like,

867
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:07,960
I'm really in love with it on a big screen

868
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,639
and then when I bring it to the portable, I'm

869
00:40:09,679 --> 00:40:11,920
just like, oh, this is like kind of almost unplayable

870
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,920
for me, which, uh, which is a new experience for me.

871
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,079
And yeah, so that was pretty wild, but no re

872
00:40:19,119 --> 00:40:23,920
animal is made by the team. The pedigree behind uh,

873
00:40:24,119 --> 00:40:28,960
Little Monsters one and two. It is a short I'm sorry,

874
00:40:29,039 --> 00:40:31,360
what did I say Little Monsters? I mean Little Nightmares.

875
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:39,920
Little Monsters is the Howie Mandel Monsters under the Bed

876
00:40:41,599 --> 00:40:44,960
just a case where where we wanna get us trade here. Yes,

877
00:40:45,119 --> 00:40:50,400
Little Nightmares one and two. So yeah, the they have

878
00:40:50,519 --> 00:40:52,719
really brought that same kind of energy to this game.

879
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,280
You play as is sort of like a brother and

880
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,079
sister pair looking for your friends in this sort of

881
00:40:57,119 --> 00:41:00,840
like hellscape.

882
00:40:59,159 --> 00:41:06,199
Speaker 2: The Blue Guy. I'm sorry, yeah, okay, I'm sorry. Continue.

883
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:07,679
Speaker 5: You know, it's just so funny. I think about that

884
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,840
movie and it's like, man, it didn't really impact me

885
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,000
because it was just so like cartoon, not cartoony, but

886
00:41:14,199 --> 00:41:17,559
just like very obviously like puppets and all this other crap,

887
00:41:17,559 --> 00:41:20,800
and I just feel like modern sensibilities would reject that

888
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,440
in such an awful way. Whatever. You go watch that

889
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:25,679
for film and forties.

890
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 2: Actually that's not a.

891
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 5: Bad Okay, So Little Nightmares one and two this is

892
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,880
really it is again. It is the same kind of

893
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:40,239
style where you are kind of exploring, like I said,

894
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:44,039
the deepest, darkest sort of nightmare locales and whatnot. The

895
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,800
people in this world are like, you know, you're you're

896
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,880
sort of meant to felt like a child, similar to

897
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,559
little nightmares, but the people in this world are just

898
00:41:51,599 --> 00:41:55,039
like these sort of like exaggerated and like overly tall,

899
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:59,039
sort of deformed, freaky, you know things. It's just the

900
00:41:59,159 --> 00:42:01,039
right energy that I want, and it's a lot of

901
00:42:01,039 --> 00:42:04,679
the gameplays fun. There's there's an interesting amount of fun

902
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,760
kind of platforming, a little bit of trial and error

903
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,199
where you're kind of trying to make your way through

904
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,559
a certain spot, not unlike what your time is, sort

905
00:42:12,559 --> 00:42:16,440
of like in Limbo and Inside. But yeah, I think

906
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:20,280
this is a really nice surprise. I kind of went

907
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,320
into this a little bit of trepidation, not really knowing

908
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,400
if they're going to stick the landing, but you know,

909
00:42:25,599 --> 00:42:28,800
almost probably halfway through this thing now and really really

910
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,440
digging it. If you are like me and you want

911
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:36,000
to be in a world like this outside of Halloween time,

912
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:37,960
this should be right up your ally.

913
00:42:38,599 --> 00:42:41,079
Speaker 1: When I was watching, I was like scrubbing through the

914
00:42:41,119 --> 00:42:44,239
quick look back a lot. There's like, are there is

915
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,920
this like a co op game or you just have

916
00:42:47,039 --> 00:42:49,920
like a person following you so you can.

917
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,079
Speaker 5: Play a signal player a game like this, I want.

918
00:42:52,119 --> 00:42:55,599
I've not done the co op. I feel like maybe

919
00:42:55,639 --> 00:42:58,039
one day, I don't know, but you can do co

920
00:42:58,079 --> 00:43:00,400
op where one of you, know, you each sort of

921
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,559
control one of the brother or the sister. If you

922
00:43:04,679 --> 00:43:07,639
play it single player, you have that kind of like

923
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:11,480
ico relationship where you know, you you tell your partner

924
00:43:11,559 --> 00:43:14,480
to stay here or flip a switch, call them to you,

925
00:43:14,519 --> 00:43:18,440
that kind of thing. I have not experimented with that,

926
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,559
so I can't really speak to what that sort of

927
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:25,760
plays like for me. It's like these games, I just

928
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,239
want to be with myself, be by myself, right. I

929
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:29,559
guess that kind of makes sense with the kind of

930
00:43:29,559 --> 00:43:33,360
atmosphere and whatnot. But yeah, they do offer that, which

931
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:37,039
I thought was a cool little feature. Yeah, it's it's dope.

932
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,039
I think it's a bit of a surprise. Is actually

933
00:43:39,119 --> 00:43:40,920
reviewing a little better than I thought it would, which

934
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,800
I think is interesting and yeah, I am into it.

935
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,480
I a full recommendation from me. Go check out Reanimal.

936
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 4: So you said, I think you kind of like talked

937
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,360
about this a little bit that it's not just like

938
00:43:54,199 --> 00:43:57,559
walking through cinematic spaces. It's also like, oh no, it's

939
00:43:57,599 --> 00:44:00,880
still a refined platforming game as well. We try to

940
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:02,280
walk in both spaces.

941
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, there is there, you know, there is that there's

942
00:44:05,559 --> 00:44:08,119
a light puzzle solving. You are meant to kind of

943
00:44:08,159 --> 00:44:11,280
like figure out, you know, how to progress if it

944
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,159
is a diorama in the way that you're sort of

945
00:44:13,199 --> 00:44:14,760
like you make it to a room and then you

946
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,960
kind of have to act quick or a section act

947
00:44:18,039 --> 00:44:19,639
quick and kind of figure it out. I think for

948
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,360
people who want to be able to like breeze through it,

949
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,480
there might be some frustration because you you are meant

950
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,000
like you are meant to like die, like you're meant

951
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,280
to just not make it through because sometimes you have

952
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,280
to think about, okay, well, you know there's there's I'm

953
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,519
supposed to like stealth hide behind this dumpster, but and

954
00:44:37,559 --> 00:44:40,280
then let the the big ugly guy pass, but then

955
00:44:40,679 --> 00:44:42,320
he has to open up this gate for me. So

956
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,239
there is a bit of like trial and error that

957
00:44:46,039 --> 00:44:48,840
you know, your your sort of task with with with

958
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,880
sort of performing. But yeah, it's a mix of like

959
00:44:52,039 --> 00:44:53,880
three or four different kind of things, which I think

960
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,000
is like a nice kind of balance.

961
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 2: You know.

962
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,760
Speaker 5: The stealth stuff is not so overwhelming where you're just

963
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,880
like I'm just sitting here waiting all day. There is

964
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:02,599
a good amount of puzzle stuff. There is a good

965
00:45:02,639 --> 00:45:06,760
amount of platforming, and it's fucking weird. It's fucking weird.

966
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:12,400
There's there's goofy, drippy boys, there's moist, slippery fellas like

967
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:18,400
it's uh. Some visuals are striking. I think, yeah, I

968
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,280
think it's uh. I think if you were like me,

969
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:21,599
you're gonna be well served for sure.

970
00:45:21,599 --> 00:45:23,559
Speaker 2: Wow, it sounds like a great spooky game, just like

971
00:45:23,639 --> 00:45:25,719
Silent Hill Townfall would be a great spooky game that

972
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,280
I was able to pick up on Fantasy Critic. Even

973
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,400
though I wasn't here to watch that Taco r. I

974
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,519
still got that game, hooray. I didn't get cosavena tho

975
00:45:33,639 --> 00:45:35,199
chucked in Oh damn.

976
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:39,079
Speaker 3: It must to deal with that because I tried to

977
00:45:39,119 --> 00:45:40,519
get it and it said like, oh, it has to

978
00:45:40,519 --> 00:45:42,519
be in a public bidding window or something.

979
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, so someone already bid on it, and so after

980
00:45:46,039 --> 00:45:49,159
Thursday it shifts from your you could bet on any

981
00:45:49,159 --> 00:45:53,320
game to anyone who's made a bid before Thursday. It's

982
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,599
now public and you can go look see what everyone's

983
00:45:55,599 --> 00:45:57,719
bid on, and now you could try to outbid them,

984
00:45:59,039 --> 00:46:01,519
which so yeah, I definitely been on both those games,

985
00:46:01,559 --> 00:46:02,519
and sounds of good.

986
00:46:02,519 --> 00:46:05,039
Speaker 2: People paid a lot of money for him. All right, yeah,

987
00:46:05,039 --> 00:46:06,440
I put Yeah, I feel like I did a lot

988
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,519
on Castlevania or I did pay a good How do

989
00:46:09,559 --> 00:46:12,000
what I do for Castle Island Hill? It was probably

990
00:46:12,079 --> 00:46:12,599
twenty something.

991
00:46:12,679 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 3: Well, I tried to do three for Castlevania, hoping that

992
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:15,599
no one else tried.

993
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,159
Speaker 2: Oh no, it definitely went for like I did. Like it.

994
00:46:18,159 --> 00:46:20,000
I did like fifteen or sixteen. I think I did

995
00:46:20,039 --> 00:46:22,400
seventeen for Castlevania, so that one went for a lot.

996
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've I've been able to squeak away with a

997
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,800
couple couple of games I'm pleased about. All right, Well,

998
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:31,360
speaking about a game, we're uh an eco like game

999
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,199
where you have someone following you. Jeff grabbed Mike Manatti.

1000
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,880
You checked out the demo on the switch to for Pragmata.

1001
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, this is actually something I did in the

1002
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,000
airport yesterday, partly because like I thought yesterday I was

1003
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,400
gonna have some time I got to play some games

1004
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:46,800
to talk about, and then I was just kind of

1005
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,480
straining the airport again, like okay, well I can always

1006
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,480
play this Pragmata demo. I've been meaning to do that.

1007
00:46:52,519 --> 00:46:54,000
I haven't played a lick of this game. I know

1008
00:46:54,039 --> 00:46:56,599
you guys have talked about it before. Uh you know,

1009
00:46:56,639 --> 00:46:59,159
I very much like Tom a lot of the time.

1010
00:46:59,159 --> 00:47:01,159
But like the idea here of a kind of sci

1011
00:47:01,199 --> 00:47:03,719
fi shooter from them it this demo was really fun.

1012
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:08,039
So also like a well put together demo, Like there

1013
00:47:08,079 --> 00:47:10,880
is a demo craft right, and you're like, yes, this

1014
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:12,719
is gonna be pretty snappy. There's gonna be a little

1015
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:14,800
bit of like it gets right in you know, cut

1016
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,000
scene of like setting things up, but you're mostly just

1017
00:47:17,039 --> 00:47:19,280
playing the game. We picked a very good part of

1018
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:20,840
the game to put you into where you were going

1019
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,639
to get a bit of everything. You're gonna get the combat,

1020
00:47:23,679 --> 00:47:26,519
you're gonna get the hacking, you're gonna get out smidge

1021
00:47:26,599 --> 00:47:28,639
of the lore, you're gonna get out boss By at

1022
00:47:28,679 --> 00:47:31,119
the end, and it's all over in like thirty minutes

1023
00:47:31,199 --> 00:47:34,039
or something. Very good demo. Yeah, just like this core

1024
00:47:34,159 --> 00:47:37,320
idea of you're doing this kind of tile based hacking,

1025
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:41,440
like a hacking mini game and like some immersive RPG

1026
00:47:41,599 --> 00:47:44,880
or something, but syndicate Yeah, yeah, but at the same

1027
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,079
time you are actually shooting an enemy and you have

1028
00:47:47,159 --> 00:47:50,000
to dodge his attacks and things like that. Yeah, that

1029
00:47:50,079 --> 00:47:53,440
base mechanic feels fantastic, and if they can kind of

1030
00:47:53,519 --> 00:47:56,960
explore that mechanic, it maybe interesting across like an eight

1031
00:47:57,119 --> 00:48:00,559
hour ten hour adventure. I think I think this game

1032
00:48:00,639 --> 00:48:01,599
is gonna hit pretty good.

1033
00:48:02,639 --> 00:48:04,679
Speaker 4: I I also checked it out just to see how

1034
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,519
it was running on the switch and an Ari Engine

1035
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,360
great on switch to this game runs really well.

1036
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 2: It looks surprisingly, it looks good. Yeah, it's like a

1037
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:15,360
little bit like, oh, I bet this little girl's hair

1038
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,639
looks better on a PlayStation five Pro. But also whatever,

1039
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:20,119
I'll get over it. Yep.

1040
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,519
Speaker 4: Like you you know the weak points and that's that's it.

1041
00:48:22,559 --> 00:48:24,559
That's the main one that you'll you're gonna see often.

1042
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 2: And you know, I bet it has some like slow

1043
00:48:26,519 --> 00:48:28,360
down and very specific spots.

1044
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 4: That's just how these things go. But it's like, man,

1045
00:48:30,039 --> 00:48:32,039
this I you could totally play this game. Want to

1046
00:48:32,039 --> 00:48:33,159
switch to you no problem.

1047
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 2: What is Pragmata coming out? It has to be April

1048
00:48:37,599 --> 00:48:40,360
something something. So it's always been weird to me that

1049
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,280
game is coming out after Resident Evil nine for some reason,

1050
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:47,599
because there's just announce so much earlier than it but yeah,

1051
00:48:47,639 --> 00:48:51,599
I'm like very excited for that for release. Now I

1052
00:48:51,639 --> 00:48:53,159
could play it on switch sho I bet I still

1053
00:48:53,159 --> 00:48:55,960
want to play it on on PC, but absolutely runs

1054
00:48:56,039 --> 00:48:58,199
well enough on there it comes out I think twenty fourth.

1055
00:48:58,239 --> 00:48:59,320
Speaker 4: I think that's what I was just trying to get

1056
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,280
is like, if someone plays this game, are they really

1057
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,679
getting a lesser version or they're getting the same game

1058
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,719
but a little less Like there's a distinction. Yeah, And

1059
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,320
it's definitely the latter. It's definitely like, oh, this you are.

1060
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 2: You will have played the same game as anyone playing

1061
00:49:12,559 --> 00:49:15,559
on a super powerful PC or whatever. There's also like

1062
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:17,599
you when you hack a lot, you feel up you're

1063
00:49:17,599 --> 00:49:19,880
a super hack meter and then like does like the

1064
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,599
camera zoom in on the little girl hacking. It just

1065
00:49:22,639 --> 00:49:24,679
reminds me a lot of the Team Up Move and

1066
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:28,679
Kingdom Hearts two with trone hacks, and I was very

1067
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:32,039
much like that. Hell yeah, first it's a Mega Man game.

1068
00:49:32,079 --> 00:49:38,599
Now it's a Tron game Kingdom Hearts game, that's right. Yeah,

1069
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:40,360
It's like I thin when they first show this game,

1070
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,239
was like, oh, that's interesting, We'll see I don't you know,

1071
00:49:43,559 --> 00:49:45,960
this might be like another you know, a Path of

1072
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:49,000
the Goddess, a cute little experiment and probably pretty good

1073
00:49:49,039 --> 00:49:52,119
game People of the Path of Costs. But yeah, like,

1074
00:49:52,199 --> 00:49:54,000
we don't like that. But I'm like this, who knows

1075
00:49:54,039 --> 00:49:56,239
there might be something here, Like I am already in

1076
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,880
the mindset of I bet we see a Pragmatic to someday.

1077
00:49:58,920 --> 00:49:59,599
I think it's something.

1078
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 1: I like the look of the Pragmata little exo skeleton

1079
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,440
mech suit you jump into. Yeah, it's got a nice

1080
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:09,159
hef to it.

1081
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:11,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just like I like it, you know, it

1082
00:50:11,559 --> 00:50:15,079
has that kind of clean but sort of realistic sci

1083
00:50:15,079 --> 00:50:17,760
fi look that I enjoy and I love. I love

1084
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,440
little booster boots, right, I love a little hovering and

1085
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:24,920
the slow Yeah, I like the boots so good. Stuff

1086
00:50:25,159 --> 00:50:29,679
to the ground. That's right, Boots to the ground. Mikey.

1087
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 1: You've also spent a lot of time, uh, and I

1088
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:37,000
have spent some time playing the new old Overwatch.

1089
00:50:37,639 --> 00:50:40,679
Speaker 2: I am having so I'm having more fun with Overwatch

1090
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,159
again than I have had in a long time since

1091
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:47,079
good to hear. Yeah, you know, definitely since before it

1092
00:50:47,079 --> 00:50:50,760
became Overwatch too, and now it's just Overwatch again. That's fine,

1093
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,280
But you know, they added five new characters at once,

1094
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:55,199
and I think all of them are good, which is

1095
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,880
shocking to me that they are all fun in different ways.

1096
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:01,280
The Cat Man, the cat is jet pack Cat could

1097
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,920
just fly as much as it wants. There's no quote

1098
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:05,599
down on that. It has like a booster thing that

1099
00:51:05,599 --> 00:51:08,960
can recharges, but it the cat can fly anywhere, can

1100
00:51:09,039 --> 00:51:13,480
shoot at people, and it heals friends, hurts enemies, and

1101
00:51:13,519 --> 00:51:15,199
you know people you could you could tell their friends

1102
00:51:15,199 --> 00:51:17,360
with it, and that's fun when you do your ultimate

1103
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,159
it's kind of just like dive bomb in the closest enemy.

1104
00:51:20,159 --> 00:51:22,239
You hit the dive bomb, they they're tethered to you

1105
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,360
for a bit against their will. And there was like

1106
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,880
one map where you know, there's like just a cliff

1107
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,400
and I was just dive bombing onto the tank and

1108
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,199
just flying over the cliff. And then after a bit

1109
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:33,320
was a little a little bit like that Jeff Shark

1110
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:37,599
and Marvel Rivals. It was a little bit right, Okay, Yes,

1111
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,159
I'm gonna kill the tank here every time with this one,

1112
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,199
that's the one who's being called for nurse the most,

1113
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,880
is the jet pack Cat. After the moment, people seem

1114
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:45,760
to hate jet Packcat.

1115
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:49,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we'll see in my h the couple matches

1116
00:51:49,559 --> 00:51:52,000
that I I've been able to play that Jetpack cat

1117
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,199
is always just zipping around just because it can, and

1118
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:56,079
that in the Hamster.

1119
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I mean the counter for jet Pact would

1120
00:51:59,920 --> 00:52:03,760
be a good hit scan DPS. I can just shoot it,

1121
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:05,800
but you know, it's a small target moves pretty fast,

1122
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:09,039
so it's difficult. But boy, it's fun. Even the the

1123
00:52:09,199 --> 00:52:12,000
other heeler as well. It's like this dude with a

1124
00:52:12,159 --> 00:52:13,760
kind of you know, excuse.

1125
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: Me by lack of let me say it, let me say,

1126
00:52:16,039 --> 00:52:17,760
let me say it raided hat.

1127
00:52:18,079 --> 00:52:20,519
Speaker 2: Thank you. Well, it's raiding hat but has lou k

1128
00:52:21,079 --> 00:52:24,559
kunglau properties because it bounces between your friends when you

1129
00:52:24,559 --> 00:52:28,000
throw it, and that's how you heal people. Yeah, that's fun, right,

1130
00:52:28,039 --> 00:52:30,960
And he also has this like chain ability that just

1131
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,880
slows down enemy, so it's great for enemies who are

1132
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:35,760
kind of diving into the team. You just hit them

1133
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:37,559
with his chain and they're slow and you headshot them

1134
00:52:37,559 --> 00:52:41,199
and they'll die. So that's really nice too. New DPS.

1135
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,159
The one guy is like basically a like Master Chief

1136
00:52:44,159 --> 00:52:46,159
as a character with the mooseet. So the first gir

1137
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:49,000
just have the frag grenade, right, somehow we don't nobody

1138
00:52:49,039 --> 00:52:51,960
who just pushed a button to throw a normal grenade.

1139
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,920
So he's got that. He's got this burst rifle, but

1140
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,599
he also pushes shift and he brings out like a pistol.

1141
00:52:57,679 --> 00:52:59,559
It you could shoot as fast as you can hit

1142
00:52:59,599 --> 00:53:02,119
the button basically, and you're also faster while you have that.

1143
00:53:02,599 --> 00:53:04,880
And then his alt is super strong where he becomes

1144
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,599
possessed by a demon, goes up in the air. It

1145
00:53:07,639 --> 00:53:11,320
could just like rain down destruction for for a little bit.

1146
00:53:12,559 --> 00:53:15,119
The other damn show where is like Firebase, and she's

1147
00:53:15,119 --> 00:53:17,480
fun because she is sort of a dive character where

1148
00:53:18,119 --> 00:53:20,119
she kind of has you know, one move that gets

1149
00:53:20,119 --> 00:53:22,039
in there, just like a dash that you can put

1150
00:53:22,119 --> 00:53:23,880
just eat, but where you're in vulnerable, you're just shooting

1151
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,239
fire over the place. You can dash back out and

1152
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,639
if enemies are on fire then to kind of take

1153
00:53:28,679 --> 00:53:32,559
ticking damage for a while. So she's like, there's a

1154
00:53:32,599 --> 00:53:34,760
simplicity to it. I really like, but it is super fun.

1155
00:53:35,199 --> 00:53:39,119
Then the tank Domina is one of the best tasks game,

1156
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:42,239
just super super fun, also pretty powerful right now, who

1157
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,800
knows that she's getting nerves, but she has this like

1158
00:53:45,159 --> 00:53:47,639
beam that like shoots like you know it's just like

1159
00:53:47,679 --> 00:53:49,480
a beam, but it has this burst at the end.

1160
00:53:49,519 --> 00:53:53,960
So it's like, so you want to track enemies, but

1161
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:55,880
you want to really make sure you're on them or

1162
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,079
even on their head for the headshot when it happens

1163
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,760
feels so that's fine. This little like kind of like

1164
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,639
crystal laser that is like a Grenadan old blow up.

1165
00:54:06,639 --> 00:54:08,079
But she could push who gets the wall if they

1166
00:54:08,079 --> 00:54:12,400
had a wall, there's stuns to go. She's hot as well,

1167
00:54:13,039 --> 00:54:16,280
but they're all hot now, they're all hot. She's pretty hot.

1168
00:54:16,679 --> 00:54:21,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mike, I it's I think the last time I

1169
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,480
had seriously played a little bit of Overwatch was when

1170
00:54:25,599 --> 00:54:30,199
Wrecking Ball the Hamster got added. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so

1171
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,440
there there was a huge gap of there are so

1172
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:38,639
many rows of characters now when I redownloaded Overwatch, and

1173
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:40,679
I just decided to jump in who I with who

1174
00:54:40,679 --> 00:54:42,920
I thought was the hottest, and of course it was

1175
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:43,840
a big sword lady.

1176
00:54:44,159 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 2: Uh then dad?

1177
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, I've been playing a lot of

1178
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:52,159
Marvel Rivals. Magic is another character I play a lot

1179
00:54:52,159 --> 00:54:54,119
of just because I think it's interesting to have a

1180
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:59,400
melee character in a character shooter game. And there's parts

1181
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,639
of Marvel where I feel like you were definitely at

1182
00:55:02,639 --> 00:55:07,599
a disadvantage playing a heavy melee character, but the kid

1183
00:55:07,679 --> 00:55:11,039
on Vendetta specifically, I feel like it's so well done

1184
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:13,880
that I never felt like I was at a disadvantage

1185
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:19,199
because she's primarily a melee focus character, but there are

1186
00:55:19,199 --> 00:55:22,599
ways to kind of skirt around that to get her

1187
00:55:22,639 --> 00:55:27,039
to just like dive in and be useful in the game,

1188
00:55:27,119 --> 00:55:28,360
or at least to finish people off.

1189
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a pretty well designed game, it turns out.

1190
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,079
And I've been hearing kind of rumblings for a bit

1191
00:55:33,159 --> 00:55:35,519
that people have been happy with the state of Overwatch

1192
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:37,920
right for like a year. And it's fun going back

1193
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:39,400
because there are a lot of characters I just had

1194
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,239
not really played that much of. Like there's Juno, who's

1195
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:44,119
a healer and she kind of looks like an eighties

1196
00:55:44,599 --> 00:55:47,679
anime space girl, and she kind of has hover boots

1197
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,719
again and like hover boots, right, it's a good's good thing,

1198
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:52,880
and she, you know, she's just a ton of fun. Like,

1199
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,840
they don't have very many bad characters, even though there's

1200
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:57,559
so many of them. Now in my mind, I'm like,

1201
00:55:57,599 --> 00:56:00,199
how are you, you know, handling all these characters? Not

1202
00:56:00,199 --> 00:56:02,880
an unbounced messense. It was pretty good. But if you

1203
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,280
play on comp there is a band system now, so

1204
00:56:05,559 --> 00:56:08,000
characters do become a problem. There was just gonna ban them.

1205
00:56:08,039 --> 00:56:10,679
So the Dead actually is pretty strong sometimes because of

1206
00:56:10,679 --> 00:56:12,679
her dive things, so she just gets banned a lot,

1207
00:56:12,679 --> 00:56:14,519
which sucks if you want to play vendett I suppose.

1208
00:56:14,679 --> 00:56:17,440
I think Domina is getting band alot. Same with jet

1209
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:19,559
Pack yet at the moment and then you have quick

1210
00:56:19,559 --> 00:56:21,519
play if you just really want to play as people.

1211
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 1: Mike, when do they add the kind of like perks system.

1212
00:56:25,599 --> 00:56:26,679
I forget what it's specifically.

1213
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:28,519
Speaker 2: I don't know, because like when I jump back into

1214
00:56:28,639 --> 00:56:30,400
I was like, what is this And at first I

1215
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,239
was like, oh, I don't know if I like And

1216
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:35,159
it's actually pretty fun. So and it's just basically when

1217
00:56:35,199 --> 00:56:36,920
a match happens at two different points, you get to

1218
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,840
pick one of two perks. Yeah, and they're kind of

1219
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,840
minorish things, but they could be a bigger deal like

1220
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,480
that you know character I was talking about. She has

1221
00:56:45,519 --> 00:56:50,079
this kind of blaster that again it's like spurts and

1222
00:56:50,119 --> 00:56:52,119
one of the perks is as long as I'm hovering,

1223
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,000
it's just a constant stream. Not so much three load,

1224
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:58,239
but all of a sudden I can and like really

1225
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:01,800
do either burst damage or first healing, depending on you know.

1226
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,639
And sometimes it's like, hey, this dash ability has you know,

1227
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:09,039
extra uh, you know, an extra to it. Yeah. Yeah,

1228
00:57:09,119 --> 00:57:10,760
So it's just things like that, and you don't have

1229
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:12,599
to think, you know, it's not like a fool on Doda.

1230
00:57:12,679 --> 00:57:14,280
Now it's like there's fifteen choices and I have to

1231
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,840
look up a guy to see what I need to do. It's,

1232
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:18,599
you know, one of two choices. You really you just

1233
00:57:18,599 --> 00:57:20,559
hold down alt and right click or left click on

1234
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:23,079
mouse and keyboard and you pick the thing and it's

1235
00:57:23,079 --> 00:57:25,039
just a nice kind of little bonus as the match

1236
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:26,360
gets deeper into it.

1237
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:31,199
Speaker 1: Fantastic. We should play some Overwatch on the website.

1238
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so.

1239
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, tons of characters that just shoot guns as well

1240
00:57:35,519 --> 00:57:38,159
if you don't want to focus on any of the abilities.

1241
00:57:38,599 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 2: I think there was a bit there where every new

1242
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,840
character came out and they would like have like ten

1243
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:45,639
abilities and five passes, and they're kind of super complicated,

1244
00:57:45,639 --> 00:57:47,840
maybe over designed to me, and a lot of these

1245
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,719
new characters. Jet Pack Cat's pretty complicated, you know. Again,

1246
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,760
the guy who's basically just you know Halo man, I'm like, yeah,

1247
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:55,679
I like, you know, because I like Soldier seventy six

1248
00:57:55,719 --> 00:58:00,400
a lot of character with a gun basically that's night Yeah. Yeah, yeah,

1249
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:01,920
that was the that was Bester Call of Duty. Now

1250
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,639
I have mister Halo, I'm like, yeah, the game's still

1251
00:58:04,639 --> 00:58:07,559
needs characters that mostly just kind of shoot things. It

1252
00:58:07,559 --> 00:58:08,679
feels good. Sough. Yeah.

1253
00:58:08,719 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 1: I forget the character's name, Mike, but she is pretty

1254
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:15,360
much just pulled straight from Vanquish, where you one of

1255
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:18,559
your abilities is like a power slide and then you

1256
00:58:18,639 --> 00:58:20,320
jump out of it and you get like a boost

1257
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:20,800
in the air.

1258
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:23,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was so sojourn I think she was at

1259
00:58:24,079 --> 00:58:25,800
Oh she was the one that was like there when

1260
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,719
they did the Overwatch to Switch right exactly, and it

1261
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:30,960
was like, yeah, I'm like, it's certainly a fine character.

1262
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,559
Mom was like, I'll just play Soldier and just kind

1263
00:58:33,559 --> 00:58:36,000
of shoot people a bit more straightforward like and that'd

1264
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:36,320
be fine.

1265
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: Lots and lots of fun, uh, just like based off

1266
00:58:42,039 --> 00:58:45,760
of the title of this game, Jeff Grubb, I don't

1267
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:47,960
know if you've been having a lot of fun because

1268
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:51,480
you put on here listen up. We tried to make

1269
00:58:51,679 --> 00:58:54,719
those games even more extreme. Some things have to be

1270
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:56,800
learned the hard way.

1271
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a this is a like a sea

1272
00:59:00,239 --> 00:59:03,360
to like, Hey, listen up, you wanted those games, so

1273
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:05,519
we made them. Now let's see you.

1274
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 4: Clear them, of course, which is Thick the Classic, which

1275
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:13,400
is a collection of real versions of those fake mobile

1276
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:17,840
game ads. Oh right, So like when you like a

1277
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:20,519
meta for mobile game advertising right now, which is all

1278
00:59:20,519 --> 00:59:24,000
about user acquisition, is you show an ad with gameplay

1279
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,199
that someone's well, you show now with gameplay, and you

1280
00:59:26,239 --> 00:59:29,480
make sure it's bad gameplay, someone messing up in the game,

1281
00:59:29,519 --> 00:59:31,400
like the pin pulling one, which we don't see much

1282
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:33,639
of anymore. But there used to be ads like a minute,

1283
00:59:33,719 --> 00:59:36,360
lava sitting over there, and there's gold here, and there's

1284
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:38,480
lava there. If you just pull the one that has gold,

1285
00:59:38,519 --> 00:59:40,719
you'll get gold. So why the fuck is this guy

1286
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,440
in this ad pulling the lava and killing the menotaur.

1287
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 2: It's stupid. I need to go play this game to

1288
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:47,039
show them how dumb they are.

1289
00:59:47,119 --> 00:59:49,639
Speaker 4: Well, when you go to play those games, turns out,

1290
00:59:49,719 --> 00:59:52,719
in most cases they have almost nothing to do with

1291
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,519
the ad you saw, and they're much more like you

1292
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:57,800
have a village you're trying to upgrade over time, and

1293
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,679
then maybe there's a bonus game seven hour that's like

1294
01:00:00,719 --> 01:00:01,800
that thing you saw in the ad.

1295
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 2: Mate, Oh my god. So this collection, I know, right exhausting.

1296
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:06,559
That's the way we live.

1297
01:00:06,599 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 5: I don't want to be around anymore.

1298
01:00:08,199 --> 01:00:12,519
Speaker 2: It sucks. And so this collection is a paid game

1299
01:00:12,559 --> 01:00:14,559
where they're like, no, we just actually made all those

1300
01:00:14,559 --> 01:00:16,760
games from the ads, including the one I got this

1301
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:20,119
one for, which is the little soldiers moving left and

1302
01:00:20,199 --> 01:00:23,480
right shooting the enemies yea, and then like going through

1303
01:00:23,519 --> 01:00:26,800
like the math gates, like the math Gates get that

1304
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,199
all the time. And I'm like, I kind of want

1305
01:00:29,239 --> 01:00:31,000
to play this, but I know, I know if I

1306
01:00:31,119 --> 01:00:34,000
pushed the button that should let me play this, I

1307
01:00:34,039 --> 01:00:37,159
won't get to play it exactly like I've I like

1308
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,320
put it off for so long and then I eventually

1309
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,920
did fall for it, and I was so disappointed.

1310
01:00:42,159 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 4: And so I saw this, Mike, I need to like

1311
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:46,639
make amends and go like pay someone who actually did

1312
01:00:46,679 --> 01:00:49,199
work here. And it's it's great, like and like it's

1313
01:00:49,239 --> 01:00:51,159
a little bit more challenging because they're not just trying

1314
01:00:51,159 --> 01:00:53,519
to keep you on the treadmill of playing the game

1315
01:00:53,559 --> 01:00:56,079
for forever. So you'll get kind of complicated math gates

1316
01:00:56,079 --> 01:01:00,639
where it's like divide by five or subtract by like fifty,

1317
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:02,199
and you have to like real quick through the math,

1318
01:01:02,239 --> 01:01:04,159
like how many characters do I mean people do I have?

1319
01:01:04,239 --> 01:01:06,360
What would be worse? And that's kind of it's a

1320
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:10,199
fun little problem to solve, So it's it's great on

1321
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:12,800
steam Deck. This is not some high art, but it

1322
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:16,119
is a fun example of like cool, can you take

1323
01:01:16,159 --> 01:01:20,440
these things that are very simple, very basic and kind

1324
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:23,199
of meant to be slopped to like capture people in

1325
01:01:23,199 --> 01:01:26,400
a trap online and make a good game? Can you

1326
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,119
like find the good game design? And usually yes, like that.

1327
01:01:29,119 --> 01:01:31,920
That's what this collection has proven. I haven't tried a

1328
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:33,920
lot of the other games that are in there. They

1329
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:36,800
have some other ones, but this is definitely the mode

1330
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:38,840
I wanted to play, and it works well.

1331
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:43,800
Speaker 1: It's well done, lovely, lovely, fantastic. Speaking about games that

1332
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:49,320
are simple and fun, Dan Riker, you've been playing the

1333
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:52,639
opposite of that, a game that is very complicated. It

1334
01:01:52,719 --> 01:01:57,800
is fun but very very long. You checked out, and

1335
01:01:57,840 --> 01:01:59,760
I've been checking out mu Jenna.

1336
01:02:00,599 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have a longer. We did a quick look

1337
01:02:02,519 --> 01:02:05,280
ex with the creators and so check that out if

1338
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:07,000
you want to see kind of me and Mike go

1339
01:02:07,079 --> 01:02:09,320
more in depth with how these runs go and everything.

1340
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:11,400
But I want to bring up two specific things that

1341
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:14,079
like point to like why I love this game because

1342
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:17,840
you can break it in ways that if it broke

1343
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:19,760
all the time, I think it would be too much.

1344
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:22,480
But like I'm over fifty hours in, Bonk is over

1345
01:02:22,519 --> 01:02:24,679
fifty hours in, and we both have gotten like one

1346
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:27,559
run that broke the game in a super fun way,

1347
01:02:27,639 --> 01:02:30,559
So like mine was. I had an active ability for

1348
01:02:30,639 --> 01:02:32,719
my cleric that throws a blessing which is like a

1349
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:35,079
cruise fix thing, and it gives you like one shield

1350
01:02:35,079 --> 01:02:38,000
of damage no matter how much the damage is. And

1351
01:02:38,039 --> 01:02:41,119
then I had a passive that shared any pickups that

1352
01:02:41,159 --> 01:02:44,159
I got with my entire team, so every start to

1353
01:02:44,199 --> 01:02:47,360
the round, I could throw the damage, you know, the

1354
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:49,480
cruise fixed thing, pick it up, and then all of

1355
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:50,960
my team would have it, so all my team is

1356
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:52,840
invincible for one hit at least, and I can stack

1357
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:53,400
on top of that.

1358
01:02:54,079 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 2: Now.

1359
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:56,599
Speaker 3: I also had a ranger that had a passive that

1360
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:58,880
had double trap effects and everything, and I had a

1361
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:02,119
bunch of stuff that like create spider traps, so anytime

1362
01:03:02,159 --> 01:03:04,440
I killed an enemy, like eight spiders would come out

1363
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:08,199
normally would be four, but all of those barriers, the

1364
01:03:08,239 --> 01:03:12,280
crucifixes also gave all of those spiders one thing damage.

1365
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:15,360
So like every single first round I had in that

1366
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:18,599
game was me making all of my characters and vulnerable,

1367
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:22,199
spawning a million spiders and making all the spiders and vulnerable,

1368
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:24,679
and then it's a matter of watching it play out

1369
01:03:24,719 --> 01:03:26,440
with all these spiders going to all the enemies and

1370
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:28,519
killing them all, and like, I didn't get touched that

1371
01:03:28,719 --> 01:03:31,880
entire run. I just destroyed everything and it felt incredible. Again,

1372
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:34,360
if that was every run, or even every like twentieth run,

1373
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,840
I think that would suck, but it was incredible. Bonk

1374
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:39,639
had a one that was really cool. She had one

1375
01:03:39,679 --> 01:03:42,239
cat that basically became a mortal because she had a

1376
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:45,920
passive called Singularity that made everything one. So she had

1377
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:49,639
one HP one mana would take one damage all the time.

1378
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,400
But she also had an item that made it so

1379
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:55,360
anything that did one damage to her would make it

1380
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:59,480
zero damage, so the cat could only take one damage.

1381
01:03:59,519 --> 01:04:02,519
But also an item that made one damage equals zero damage,

1382
01:04:02,559 --> 01:04:06,199
so you literally could not hurt this cat. So yeah,

1383
01:04:06,239 --> 01:04:07,960
it's just so awesome. And the way the game works

1384
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,360
out too, where it's like later on in the game,

1385
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:12,559
like dozens of hours in it introduces this thing where

1386
01:04:12,559 --> 01:04:15,719
it's like your retired cats can fight, and so it's

1387
01:04:15,719 --> 01:04:17,280
like then you can like kind of build this dream

1388
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:19,960
team of just like Okay, well that cat's basically I mortal.

1389
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:22,559
This one works really well with that one's abilities, So

1390
01:04:22,639 --> 01:04:24,559
I know next time I have to fight this you

1391
01:04:24,559 --> 01:04:26,840
know boss character that comes around every once in a while,

1392
01:04:27,039 --> 01:04:29,760
I've got the team put together for it and cool.

1393
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,840
It's just tremendous. It's just every run it's a perfect

1394
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:34,960
playing game. I've been flying a decent aunt lately and

1395
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,639
like just flights fly by with it. How how many

1396
01:04:37,639 --> 01:04:39,679
hours would you say you've put into it now? Dan,

1397
01:04:40,239 --> 01:04:42,840
who it's over fifty. I haven't checked since my flights

1398
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:44,760
and stuff. I bet I'm over like seventy or something now.

1399
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:47,320
And I still feel like I have so so much

1400
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:47,719
more to go.

1401
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:51,199
Speaker 4: I mean, and that's not just a feeling, like that's real, right,

1402
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:54,480
Like the understanding here is there is hundreds of hours

1403
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:55,079
of gameplay.

1404
01:04:55,199 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I could absolutely see that, and I'm not

1405
01:04:57,119 --> 01:05:00,079
slowing down remotely on it.

1406
01:05:00,159 --> 01:05:04,199
Speaker 1: Well, going from talking about mutating small creatures to other

1407
01:05:04,519 --> 01:05:08,679
small creatures, perhaps pocket monsters, we've decided to stuff them

1408
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:13,079
into a pinball machine because Jeff Bakolar Pokemon Pinball.

1409
01:05:14,239 --> 01:05:19,320
Speaker 5: I want to thank everyone on the Internet sending me

1410
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:22,800
news and information.

1411
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:28,559
Speaker 4: Nothing happens without you finding out fifty times right away exactly.

1412
01:05:28,679 --> 01:05:32,519
Speaker 5: And it's the combined effort of all these random strangers

1413
01:05:32,559 --> 01:05:35,880
that made me fully aware that there's a pinball machine

1414
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:40,400
coming out called Pokemon Pinball. That's right, folks, it's here.

1415
01:05:41,119 --> 01:05:46,559
Got to catch them all, and by them, I mean pinballs.

1416
01:05:47,039 --> 01:05:51,360
Catch all the pinballs inside the pinball machine. It's here.

1417
01:05:51,519 --> 01:05:53,719
I think I think we talked about this.

1418
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

1419
01:05:55,039 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 5: I want to see like five or six months ago

1420
01:05:57,599 --> 01:06:00,480
where you know, I knew it was coming out, but

1421
01:06:00,559 --> 01:06:02,800
there was there was rumors, and I felt like, oh,

1422
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:03,840
we could talk about the rumors.

1423
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:04,480
Speaker 2: It's all good.

1424
01:06:05,519 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, this thing's out. I've talked to people who've played it.

1425
01:06:08,079 --> 01:06:11,599
They are impressed. Uh, it's the newest game from Stern.

1426
01:06:11,719 --> 01:06:17,880
I believe it starts shipping next month, and you know,

1427
01:06:18,159 --> 01:06:19,960
it's like it's kind of crazy, right. I guess my

1428
01:06:20,119 --> 01:06:22,920
thing is like I've not seen a reaction to a

1429
01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:25,159
pinball announcement like this in a very long time. It

1430
01:06:25,159 --> 01:06:27,000
makes a lot of sense, right, it's like obviously the

1431
01:06:27,039 --> 01:06:32,599
most popular ip like ever, right, I mean, I won

1432
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:35,440
I can't even imagine what a license like this cost,

1433
01:06:35,559 --> 01:06:37,360
Like that's kind of where my mind goes from, Like

1434
01:06:37,719 --> 01:06:39,760
what do you think it costs?

1435
01:06:40,159 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 2: Yeah? Right, A lot, a lot? Right. Uh.

1436
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:47,599
Speaker 5: There's a collector a limited edition that they are numbering,

1437
01:06:47,679 --> 01:06:49,159
and I think people are like going.

1438
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:53,719
Speaker 2: Fifty seven fifty for thirteen thousand dollars yep.

1439
01:06:54,199 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 5: And it's crazy that I think certain people like want

1440
01:06:57,039 --> 01:07:06,199
certain numbers because that equates the Pokemon number I got nerds, right, yeah, yeah, exactly,

1441
01:07:06,559 --> 01:07:10,079
fucking nerds, These fucking nerds many tables.

1442
01:07:10,119 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 2: That's ten million dollars in revenue.

1443
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 5: Like that's yeah, So like you gotta imagine, like maybe

1444
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,679
it's two million dollars to license Pokemon.

1445
01:07:18,719 --> 01:07:19,119
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1446
01:07:19,159 --> 01:07:24,599
Speaker 5: I gotta imagine maybe it's more. Yeah, so you know,

1447
01:07:24,639 --> 01:07:26,239
I don't know. I don't I don't claim to know

1448
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:28,239
the answer to that question. That's none of my uh,

1449
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:32,480
it's out of my uh purview. But yeah, the you

1450
01:07:32,519 --> 01:07:34,599
know that, have you guys seen the design of the playfield.

1451
01:07:34,639 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1452
01:07:35,119 --> 01:07:38,159
Speaker 2: Yeah. Also I've been watching stro I love that. It's

1453
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:40,760
because I'm old. I like that it's very original. One

1454
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:43,599
undred and fifty one seemed it's kind of kind of

1455
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,559
it's taking off from the anime specifically, like kind of

1456
01:07:46,559 --> 01:07:49,079
one of the big centerpiece things is the meuth On

1457
01:07:49,159 --> 01:07:51,800
air balloon kind of drops down you can get it,

1458
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:54,400
and I love that. That's fantastic. I love the little

1459
01:07:54,639 --> 01:07:57,519
masterball is what you grab onto for the kind of

1460
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,559
you know, the launcher plungers, Yeah, the plunger is that

1461
01:08:00,599 --> 01:08:01,599
what it's called the plunch area.

1462
01:08:01,679 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1463
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:04,239
Speaker 5: I don't know if that's in all of the versions.

1464
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:06,599
That might so. So like all payball games, there's a

1465
01:08:06,639 --> 01:08:09,800
small medium in large, right, there's a pro, a premium,

1466
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:14,920
and a collector's at least how Stern sort of categorizes it.

1467
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:17,399
I it might be in all of them. I don't know.

1468
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:19,359
Usually that's the thing that they reserve for, like the

1469
01:08:19,399 --> 01:08:23,399
premium or above. But yeah, I think it's like a

1470
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:26,279
you know, the hardest thing with all this is like, yeah,

1471
01:08:26,319 --> 01:08:29,880
the theme inclusion is a is a tough sort of

1472
01:08:30,079 --> 01:08:32,039
thread to needle, and then it's like is the game

1473
01:08:32,159 --> 01:08:37,479
fun and by all accounts. It looks really fun. Obviously

1474
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:41,880
the objective is to battle and capture Pokemon. Sure, from

1475
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:44,760
what I understand, like they will be adding more like

1476
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:48,399
it's gonna be update, just like they update games. Now

1477
01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:50,520
that each one of these games is connected to the Internet,

1478
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:52,600
they can change the rules set and they can change

1479
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:55,399
around the you know, the video screen and the graphics

1480
01:08:55,399 --> 01:08:57,600
and the music and stuff like that. This thing is

1481
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:00,159
it's gonna it's yeah, it's gonna be great. I've I've

1482
01:09:00,199 --> 01:09:02,079
been in touch with my buddies at turn. I think

1483
01:09:02,199 --> 01:09:05,640
I'll get my hands on one maybe this summer. Yeah,

1484
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:08,079
and I'll be able to coming over and you guys

1485
01:09:08,159 --> 01:09:10,239
are more than welcome to fly out and stay in

1486
01:09:10,319 --> 01:09:12,039
my murder basement while we play.

1487
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:16,079
Speaker 2: Pokemon Sean and I will out. That's finsition.

1488
01:09:17,039 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 5: That's fine. Yeah, it's very exciting. Uh, I'm I'm super

1489
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:22,600
jazz about it because you know, all these things really

1490
01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:26,560
do just kind of like add to the generalized interest

1491
01:09:27,039 --> 01:09:29,720
in the game. And I think, you know, this one,

1492
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:33,279
I'm curious to see them in the wild and see

1493
01:09:33,319 --> 01:09:36,359
like what the attention is, right, because this is a

1494
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:39,479
game where you're where like this is the first this

1495
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:41,920
is going to be the first pimball machine for a

1496
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:45,520
lot of places, like you know, like this is an

1497
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:48,439
easy cell where it's like, oh, we've never had an arcade,

1498
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:50,199
but let's get Pokemon pimball.

1499
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:53,159
Speaker 2: Oh that's like such an easy cell.

1500
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:56,439
Speaker 1: I could see so many card stores opening up, Jeff

1501
01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:59,479

01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:45,359
Speaker 1: Oh I was going to say, uh, I had a

1518
01:10:45,399 --> 01:10:47,600
pinball story to share with you that I was waiting

01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:49,439
for the pods because.

1520
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:51,880

Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no no no.

1522
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:58,600
Speaker 1: I've played pinball try house, but not a story. Sure, sure, sure.

1523
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:01,359
I was celebrating a friends birthday over the weekend at

1524
01:11:01,359 --> 01:11:04,840
one of these barcades we have here in San Francisco. Yea,

1525
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:08,000
and let me tell you, Jeff, this is one of

1526
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,119
those where it's like, Okay, there's a DDR machine, there's

1527
01:11:10,159 --> 01:11:15,439
time crisis, all your classic ones. But at the pinball

1528
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:20,600
corner it was absolutely packed with sickos because people were

1529
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:23,600
like actually putting a token on the machine, saying like, no,

1530
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:27,399
I got next after you. And then my friend disappeared

1531
01:11:27,399 --> 01:11:30,319
for a while. She's not super into games, but you know,

1532
01:11:30,399 --> 01:11:32,840
a barcade's a fun place to have a birthday. I'm

1533
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:37,359
looking around before I'm dipping out in homegirl is like eyes,

1534
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:42,119
dead set focused. She is in the zone playing the

1535
01:11:42,199 --> 01:11:46,640
Foo Fighters pinball machine. Damn, and I didn't realize she

1536
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:50,359
had quickly become a pinball sicco and had come to

1537
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:54,159
this barcade every other week to play this specific Foo

1538
01:11:54,239 --> 01:11:55,640
Fighters pinball machine.

1539
01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:57,680
Speaker 5: I believe it that's awesome.

1540
01:11:57,720 --> 01:11:59,800
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it's I don't know.

1541
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:02,520
Speaker 5: I don't know why I have this sickness.

1542
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:05,159
Speaker 2: I just I was born with it. It's good.

1543
01:12:05,159 --> 01:12:11,800
Speaker 5: It's good. I like, yeah, no, that's a great game. Yeah,

1544
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:15,159
I think uh oh, and Mike. I looked at the site.

1545
01:12:15,199 --> 01:12:17,159
Apparently the limited is the only one that comes with

1546
01:12:17,199 --> 01:12:18,039
the poke ball.

1547
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:21,520
Speaker 2: They get. They know, we want that master ball. We

1548
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:22,920
got to pull on a master ball.

1549
01:12:23,279 --> 01:12:26,319
Speaker 5: I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but uh check it out.

1550
01:12:26,319 --> 01:12:27,720
The playfield is gorgeous.

1551
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:28,840
Speaker 2: It really didn't.

1552
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, unbelievable job designing this thing.

1553
01:12:33,199 --> 01:12:34,800
Speaker 2: I was searching real quick to see you like to

1554
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:35,720
see more about it.

1555
01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:38,159
Speaker 4: And it's very funny, like you're right, Like the Pokemon

1556
01:12:38,199 --> 01:12:40,640
fans are coming here and they're like, well, let's see

1557
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:42,600
how much this thing costs, and they're really shocked at

1558
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:45,079
the cost of pinball tables. It's like, oh, honey, this

1559
01:12:45,279 --> 01:12:45,960
it's not for you.

1560
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:49,680
Speaker 5: Yeah okay, oh yeah, Like as if any Pokemon freak

1561
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:52,079
would be surprised by the cost of anything.

1562
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 2: That's what That's what I thought.

1563
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 4: But it's like they're like, even compared to the cards,

1564
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:57,359
this is expensive, Like, yeah, it's a pinball machine.

1565
01:12:58,039 --> 01:13:00,399
Speaker 2: You're supposed to be making revenue off of it for

1566
01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:04,000
the next like five years. Yes, it's owner operators. Yeah.

1567
01:13:04,159 --> 01:13:06,399
Speaker 5: I think you are going to see obviously, just like

1568
01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:10,600
with everything Pokemon, you are going to see resilers, you know,

1569
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:12,439
like I stalking a buddy mine.

1570
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:13,159
Speaker 1: Uh.

1571
01:13:13,199 --> 01:13:15,800
Speaker 5: Anthony, friend of the front of the site, was saying that,

1572
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:20,479
you know, people are already relisting their numbered ones on

1573
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:24,079
you know, the biggest pinball market places. It's called pin Side,

1574
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:26,119
and it's just you know, these things are going to

1575
01:13:26,199 --> 01:13:32,319
start fetching insane amounts of after market pricing, and it's

1576
01:13:32,359 --> 01:13:34,319
just like, yeah, you know, it's.

1577
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:37,159
Speaker 4: Going to get one or whichever one likes Pokemon Logan Paul,

1578
01:13:37,279 --> 01:13:39,399
Maybe it doesn't matter.

1579
01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:42,239
Speaker 2: They're barely human, jaw is broken.

1580
01:13:43,319 --> 01:13:46,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, who Daisy, Yeah, I don't know. It's it's it's wild,

1581
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:50,119
also wild. Did you guys see grow Up? You probably

1582
01:13:50,119 --> 01:13:52,520
were the only one watching USA Hockey over the weekend.

1583
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:53,239
Speaker 2: You see that.

1584
01:13:53,239 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 5: Pokemon sponsored the the intermission.

1585
01:13:56,840 --> 01:14:01,119
Speaker 4: To sponsoring almost the entire Olympics, the segments for a

1586
01:14:01,119 --> 01:14:03,720
bunch of different sports. Yes, it's kind of yeah, it's

1587
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:05,560
kind of what I mean, it's thirtieth anniversary stuff.

1588
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:08,560
Speaker 2: A're gonna Pokemon Day later this month. Uh but yeah,

1589
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:10,800
and they're just doing the commercial from the Super Bowl

1590
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:13,319
over and over like that's the ad campaign. It was.

1591
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:14,560
It was. I was just so wild.

1592
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:16,680
Speaker 5: I was like watching the the US FIRSUT Germany and

1593
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:19,920
they're like, we'll be right back after the university report,

1594
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:23,319
brought to you by Pokemon. I'm just like, huh, that's

1595
01:14:23,399 --> 01:14:23,960
kind of cool.

1596
01:14:24,399 --> 01:14:25,680
Speaker 2: It's better than like when it's.

1597
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:29,520
Speaker 4: Like like a prescription company where it's Eli Lilly or

1598
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:30,479
whatever the fuck the company.

1599
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 5: I'll take it all day. So that was a fun

1600
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:37,079
little thing to see happened. But yes, I don't think

1601
01:14:37,119 --> 01:14:39,720
we are prepared for just how much twenty twenty six

1602
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:41,119
is possible Pokemon.

1603
01:14:41,279 --> 01:14:42,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right.

1604
01:14:42,279 --> 01:14:44,439
Speaker 4: I think Pokemon Day is really going to illuminate just

1605
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:46,600
how much Post second ten days.

1606
01:14:46,279 --> 01:14:47,359
Speaker 2: Right ye? Yes?

1607
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:51,199
Speaker 1: Or Pokemon Worlds this year is going to be here

1608
01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:54,920
in San Francisco. Oh wow, right, God, I have to

1609
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:57,000
weasel my way in. And I wonder if they're actually

1610
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:59,920
going to have any of those machines uh playing good.

1611
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:04,359
Speaker 5: I almost guarantee it. Like these things find their way,

1612
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:07,399
you know, they always build like ten prototypes that are

1613
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:10,800
just meant to be shipped everywhere and on display everywhere,

1614
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:13,239
and I'm sure that'll be like part of the thing,

1615
01:15:14,239 --> 01:15:17,159
you know, I was I had, you know, I only

1616
01:15:17,199 --> 01:15:21,399
saw the reveal of the playfield like last week, and

1617
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:23,680
you know, everyone's it's always like, like I said in

1618
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:25,359
the beginning, it's like, is this gonna play well?

1619
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:25,600
Speaker 2: Right?

1620
01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:27,760
Speaker 5: Like, because a lot of things get designed and you

1621
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:29,399
see that and you're like, oh, this is gonna shoot

1622
01:15:29,399 --> 01:15:33,279
well or these shots gonna be like reliably accurate, like

1623
01:15:33,319 --> 01:15:37,439
can I do this thing? And you know, sometimes I

1624
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:39,479
believe it's a two flipper design where there's only the

1625
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:41,840
two at the bottom of the playfield just looks good,

1626
01:15:42,079 --> 01:15:45,279
just looks like it's gonna really be an overall kind

1627
01:15:45,279 --> 01:15:48,720
of like smooth kind of gameplay loop. And I'm really

1628
01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:52,000
excited to see how it plays. And the best part

1629
01:15:52,159 --> 01:15:55,520
obviously is like also you know, the video integration and

1630
01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:57,479
what they all did with the toys on the playfield.

1631
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:00,520
Like I'm pumped. I can't wait to see. I'll probably

1632
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:02,159
see you probably start seeing it in the wild in

1633
01:16:02,199 --> 01:16:02,920
the next month or so.

1634
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:08,880
Speaker 1: Lovely exciting, very exciting. Uh, Jeff Greb last game here

1635
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:11,119
on the docket. I need to ask you if it

1636
01:16:11,159 --> 01:16:14,399
has gone exciting. We checked this out last week on

1637
01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:19,399
UPF God of War Sons of Sparta.

1638
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:23,920
Speaker 2: Yes, this this is a pickle this game, what is

1639
01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:24,520
its ai?

1640
01:16:28,319 --> 01:16:31,359
Speaker 4: It's pickle Crados, right, he's so wacky he wants to

1641
01:16:31,359 --> 01:16:37,199
get that McDonald's. That's right, and playing this thing and

1642
01:16:37,239 --> 01:16:40,920
it's a metro venue and I like Metroid Venas and

1643
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:46,000
everything else about it is kind of like low key repulsive.

1644
01:16:45,199 --> 01:16:49,520
Speaker 3: There's something gross about just looking at it.

1645
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:53,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's it's it's a So it is like

1646
01:16:53,039 --> 01:16:55,079
two point five D, even though it doesn't look like it,

1647
01:16:55,119 --> 01:16:57,399
because the characters are clearly three D models that have

1648
01:16:57,439 --> 01:16:59,279
had a filter placed on top of them to make

1649
01:16:59,319 --> 01:17:03,439
them look more pixelated, and it and it doesn't like

1650
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:05,239
it's trying to be like, hey, we are both a

1651
01:17:05,239 --> 01:17:08,039
modern game and a retro game.

1652
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:10,479
Speaker 2: And it's like what fucking retro game you talk about?

1653
01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:13,680
Like Jaguar Like like it's like, is it like the

1654
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:16,920
worst possible retro thing you could be pulling from? H

1655
01:17:17,319 --> 01:17:17,880
Gerson was.

1656
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:19,399
Speaker 4: Saying, it kind of reminds me of like the Zelda

1657
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:22,399
CDI games and like it some of that energy to

1658
01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:26,880
its visuals where it's just so off and weird, but

1659
01:17:27,119 --> 01:17:30,399
as a metro Evania, it's getting solid, it's getting better.

1660
01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:33,560
It's it's not great, Like it's so far away from

1661
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:37,560
like Metroid dread Like compare this to Prince of Persia

1662
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:41,399
The Lost Crown, and it's like, that's how you be

1663
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:44,640
Soft was treating. It's like long running franchise that it

1664
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:46,960
wanted to make a Metroid venue for and it made

1665
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:50,159
a Game of the Year worthy game versus Sony doing

1666
01:17:50,239 --> 01:17:52,520
this with God of War And I'm just like, how

1667
01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:54,159
did do this.

1668
01:17:54,119 --> 01:17:57,840
Speaker 2: Like to be more like Ubisoft? Wow? Yeah, Like that's

1669
01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:00,960
a bad look, Like why would you do it this way?

1670
01:18:01,119 --> 01:18:02,279
I'm confused.

1671
01:18:02,319 --> 01:18:04,359
Speaker 3: It is insane and I said it on the on

1672
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:06,319
your PF. But like if you look at the list

1673
01:18:06,359 --> 01:18:08,760
of games on Mega Cat's websites that they've worked on,

1674
01:18:09,039 --> 01:18:11,359
and there's just a bunch of very like AI look

1675
01:18:11,399 --> 01:18:15,239
in Mobile looking just honestly, they just don't they look

1676
01:18:15,319 --> 01:18:16,920
like a certain type of game, and then all of

1677
01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:18,680
a sudden they get a God of War game and

1678
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:19,319
it's like, how.

1679
01:18:19,199 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 2: The fuck did that happen? That's insane to.

1680
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:24,159
Speaker 1: Me, And as far as I've been able to like

1681
01:18:24,399 --> 01:18:26,439
just look on the internet, there's not a lot of

1682
01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:29,800
crossover specifically with Sony and Mega Cat.

1683
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:33,159
Speaker 3: Right, like like that rest Quest game that was bad

1684
01:18:33,199 --> 01:18:36,840
and that was multi Yeah. Yeah, it's baffling.

1685
01:18:38,039 --> 01:18:41,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I don't know how it happened. I uh.

1686
01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:44,159
Speaker 4: And as I'm playing, it's just like how do these

1687
01:18:44,199 --> 01:18:48,079
decisions get made? Like even the decision to play as young.

1688
01:18:48,239 --> 01:18:52,439
Speaker 2: Pre Credos Credos where doesn't look or behave like Crados

1689
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:55,039
yet other than he's kind of stern with his younger brother.

1690
01:18:55,319 --> 01:18:58,399
Speaker 1: The other aspect is like when I think of God

1691
01:18:58,399 --> 01:19:02,600
of War, I think of Krados using the Blades of Chaos,

1692
01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:05,479
and here you're grubbed. Does the weapon change or are

1693
01:19:05,520 --> 01:19:06,920
you only ever using a spear?

1694
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:09,800
Speaker 2: You're upgrading the sphere so far.

1695
01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:12,439
Speaker 4: There might be other weapons, but so far, I just

1696
01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:16,039
have a spear and you know that it's fun. But

1697
01:19:16,079 --> 01:19:18,640
you're right, I'm not like doing the stuff that's incredible.

1698
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:20,520
And like that first God of War where like that

1699
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:22,880
combo system with the blades of the Blades of cast

1700
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:24,560
We was so satisfying.

1701
01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:25,800
Speaker 2: It's none of that is here.

1702
01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:28,640
Speaker 5: This is just not a God of War game and

1703
01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:29,760
they just made it a guy.

1704
01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:32,439
Speaker 3: I think it is so weird that the way they like,

1705
01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:34,079
I think it's on the store page. It was like

1706
01:19:34,199 --> 01:19:36,159
God of War meets retro, and it's like, hang on,

1707
01:19:36,239 --> 01:19:38,199
you can't just say retro because it's like a side

1708
01:19:38,279 --> 01:19:40,640
scrolling metro, a vanea like yeah, a lot of modern

1709
01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:42,079
game silk, you know.

1710
01:19:42,159 --> 01:19:44,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sosak would never be like we're a retro game. No,

1711
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:46,800
it's a very new game that happens to be two D.

1712
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:49,319
Speaker 3: But it can't seem to decide like it's trying to

1713
01:19:49,359 --> 01:19:51,560
occasionally do retro stuff because like a lot of times

1714
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:53,680
the music is just that, just like chanting God of

1715
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:55,720
War music. And then you will fight that boss we

1716
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:56,800
fought on UPF and it's.

1717
01:19:56,680 --> 01:19:58,279
Speaker 2: Like did do do do do do? Dude?

1718
01:19:58,279 --> 01:20:02,199
Speaker 3: It's like retro like or chip to what doing?

1719
01:20:02,319 --> 01:20:03,920
Speaker 2: Pick up your mind if they wanted to do like

1720
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:06,039
the Bloodstained Curse of the Moon thing, right, and like

1721
01:20:06,079 --> 01:20:10,960
that's like right, like we're trying to make Castlevania three again. Yeah.

1722
01:20:11,239 --> 01:20:14,720
Speaker 1: Oh, and then it had like really really shitty scan

1723
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:17,600
line filters that you could throw the classic yeah.

1724
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:21,520
Speaker 4: Yeah uh, and then all the characters are kind of

1725
01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:23,920
like bad, like I just haven't enjoyed them yet. What

1726
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:26,399
we're gonna ask, like, so there is a co op

1727
01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:29,079
mode in this, right, I wonder if that is interesting.

1728
01:20:29,399 --> 01:20:31,680
Speaker 2: I haven't. I haven't looked at all because actually, yeah,

1729
01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:33,800
I'm I don't know, maybe I'm maybe I'm wrong, because

1730
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:35,239
you know, with his brother, I think like you could

1731
01:20:35,279 --> 01:20:36,800
play the game with one person is great.

1732
01:20:37,079 --> 01:20:39,720
Speaker 3: One is I think I saw people saying that, like

1733
01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:41,800
it lists it as a two player game, but people

1734
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:43,800
couldn't figure out how to unlock it, so like that

1735
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:45,239
was like the day came out, So I don't know

1736
01:20:45,239 --> 01:20:47,399
if they figured it out by now. Okay, with chat

1737
01:20:47,399 --> 01:20:49,199
heerson don't have to beat the game to do co op.

1738
01:20:49,399 --> 01:20:52,399
Speaker 2: That we get to unlock the cop you should you

1739
01:20:52,399 --> 01:20:53,079
should just happen.

1740
01:20:53,319 --> 01:20:55,399
Speaker 3: It's just for challenges after you beat the game.

1741
01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:58,439
Speaker 2: Oh okay, ill never mind. That would be interesting because

1742
01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:00,479
you know, we don't have too many co ops. Metro

1743
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:05,680
Venue's basically you've got your Guacamele two and then.

1744
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:08,319
Speaker 3: I'm just going off with Chad says here.

1745
01:21:08,359 --> 01:21:12,600
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's an extremely weird game. It is so

1746
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:15,560
weird to the point of like I just wish someone

1747
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:17,479
would go tell me exactly how it came to be

1748
01:21:18,119 --> 01:21:21,600
and why, you know, God of War is not some

1749
01:21:21,800 --> 01:21:25,960
like middling franchise that hasn't been footing. Uh, Like, why

1750
01:21:26,039 --> 01:21:30,600
does like Horizon get like game after game and gets

1751
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:32,960
like this new like kind of you know, I don't

1752
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:34,680
know if you love the art style, but that new

1753
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:37,039
multiplayer mode at least looks like it had effort put

1754
01:21:37,079 --> 01:21:40,199
into it and thought and and this just feels like

1755
01:21:40,239 --> 01:21:43,680
such an afterthought that I really don't know how we

1756
01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:44,119
ended up.

1757
01:21:44,159 --> 01:21:46,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, because you've been talking about this game, right,

1758
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:48,520
and you know, I definitely have a different thing in

1759
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:50,960
my mind when you're talking about it, the same God

1760
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:54,079
of War Metroid Vein, And I don't think this game

1761
01:21:54,119 --> 01:21:57,239
looks like like, oh got off, like an embarrassment, right,

1762
01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:00,399
even that it looks a bit off. Even the thirty

1763
01:22:00,399 --> 01:22:03,640
dollars price, that thing that's generally what these games do cost.

1764
01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:05,600
I know, soak Song was twenty bucks, so song is

1765
01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:08,840
these games? No, these games cost like Prints of Persia

1766
01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:12,319
that is thirty like nine souls, it's thirty. That is

1767
01:22:12,399 --> 01:22:15,840
normally the price of these. It was sixty, so yeah,

1768
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:19,119
you know it was when Soaksong was twenty dollars, other

1769
01:22:19,159 --> 01:22:20,840
indie people were mad at them, like, ah, how can

1770
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:23,520
we compete? They can make their games so cheap. Now,

1771
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:25,279
you know, maybe it's thirty dollars or a game that

1772
01:22:25,279 --> 01:22:30,119
doesn't look good, that's the issue, right, But I don't know. Yeah,

1773
01:22:30,279 --> 01:22:32,199
part of me is like I like Metroevidia so much,

1774
01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:34,399
I you know, watching definitely, I'm like, I bet I

1775
01:22:34,399 --> 01:22:37,640
would still enjoy this fine. I'm I'm enjoying parts of it,

1776
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:38,239
and it is.

1777
01:22:38,319 --> 01:22:40,319
Speaker 4: I think it's getting better the more I play, and

1778
01:22:40,359 --> 01:22:43,319
the more it's like opening up and getting more abilities

1779
01:22:43,359 --> 01:22:45,079
and there's less of the setup, so the kind of

1780
01:22:45,079 --> 01:22:46,239
the game's just kind of going.

1781
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:49,479
Speaker 2: Uh, the running and jumping around like feels okay.

1782
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:51,560
Speaker 4: Like again, it doesn't feels good as a dread uh

1783
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:54,199
certainly doesn't feel anywhere close to a Silk Song, but

1784
01:22:54,239 --> 01:22:55,840
it's beyond serviceable.

1785
01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:56,520
Speaker 2: It's good.

1786
01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:59,600
Speaker 4: So I'm I played some more this morning. I'm gonna

1787
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:01,239
stick with it for at least a little bit longer

1788
01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:02,680
I get some other games out.

1789
01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:02,880
Speaker 2: Of the way.

1790
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:06,159
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, when when we were hearing the rumblings

1791
01:23:06,159 --> 01:23:09,079
of this, I decided to kind of go back to

1792
01:23:09,159 --> 01:23:11,439
that PSP God of War game. I think it's yeah,

1793
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:12,359
Ghost of Sparta.

1794
01:23:13,119 --> 01:23:17,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that game looked good. Yeah, and that was

1795
01:23:17,279 --> 01:23:19,000
on a Those.

1796
01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:21,680
Speaker 4: Are both very good, probably one of the most impressive

1797
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:24,600
PSP games, like It's right that you know, yeah, probably that.

1798
01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:28,720
Speaker 1: And it just seems a weird handling of the franchise,

1799
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:31,880
like we've mentioned previously, of like giving this to like

1800
01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:36,319
a different studio that's super external and the end product

1801
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:39,800
being what we get. I would suggest we've had like

1802
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:43,039
the the conversation now of comparing it to Silk Song, Dread,

1803
01:23:43,119 --> 01:23:46,560
Prince of Persia, Odds, are you already have those other

1804
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:49,199
three games? And I think maybe we should just replay

1805
01:23:49,279 --> 01:23:49,960
Dreads even.

1806
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,600
Speaker 2: Like stuff like you know, like Mio right is newer

1807
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:54,119
this year and I don't think a ton of people

1808
01:23:54,159 --> 01:23:56,520
have probably played that yet, and maybe like, oh maybe

1809
01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:58,840
MEO's no Silk Song, it still looks more interesting than

1810
01:23:58,920 --> 01:23:59,399
this though.

1811
01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:02,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, it just like it is confusing to the point

1812
01:24:02,399 --> 01:24:06,279
of like when most people look at this game, they

1813
01:24:06,359 --> 01:24:08,840
do not like come away wanting to buy it. And

1814
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:11,279
it's like, did that not happen at PlayStation?

1815
01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:11,960
Speaker 2: Did that not?

1816
01:24:12,159 --> 01:24:14,239
Speaker 4: Like when they were looking at it, they were they

1817
01:24:14,279 --> 01:24:16,399
just saying, well, it's god avoor, it needs to look

1818
01:24:16,399 --> 01:24:18,560
this way because I don't know that's not true either,

1819
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:20,279
Like how does it end up looking like this to

1820
01:24:20,319 --> 01:24:23,880
the point where it is so unappealing to the casual

1821
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:26,880
viewer that you are just doing a disservice to it

1822
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:30,399
by showing it off. So yeah, it's confusing. I don't

1823
01:24:30,399 --> 01:24:30,640
know how.

1824
01:24:31,399 --> 01:24:33,079
Speaker 2: And there's just there are just so many more interesting

1825
01:24:33,079 --> 01:24:35,439
places you could have set one of these, you know,

1826
01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:38,319
I realized I probably can't push the four the story

1827
01:24:38,359 --> 01:24:40,319
forward with one of these. It's not going to take

1828
01:24:40,359 --> 01:24:43,199
place after Ragnarok, but you could have done it in

1829
01:24:43,279 --> 01:24:46,680
between three. You could even have done in the middle

1830
01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:50,199
of like Angry Krados still and like have one that's

1831
01:24:50,279 --> 01:24:52,039
you know, it is the Blades of Chaos and the

1832
01:24:52,079 --> 01:24:54,000
other stuff like that. I don't know how many people

1833
01:24:54,039 --> 01:24:58,159
were hankering for fifteen year old Kratos game, right, you

1834
01:24:58,199 --> 01:25:00,600
could do like some like you could just make it

1835
01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:02,560
a uh. He falls through.

1836
01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:06,520
Speaker 4: A god timehole and time pauses, so the rest of

1837
01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:08,600
the story is untouched, and he goes into this alternate

1838
01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:11,000
dimension and fights a bunch of the Greek gods again, Like, yeah,

1839
01:25:11,039 --> 01:25:12,960
you can make shit up to like make this game

1840
01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:14,399
look the way you needed to make it look.

1841
01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:16,119
Speaker 2: And it's so far away.

1842
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:18,159
Speaker 1: From that, they flights around with the story a little

1843
01:25:18,199 --> 01:25:22,600
bit with that that DLC that they had for Ragnarrock Valhalla.

1844
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:25,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and that was alf that was that's

1845
01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:27,359
like the latest thing we got so far by that

1846
01:25:27,399 --> 01:25:30,319
mode was awesome. Actually, that think was great. Yeah. Yeah,

1847
01:25:30,319 --> 01:25:32,319
it's like, you know, I get we couldn't do the

1848
01:25:32,319 --> 01:25:35,600
Egypt thing here or something like that, but maybe maybe

1849
01:25:35,600 --> 01:25:36,119
you should.

1850
01:25:36,199 --> 01:25:39,520
Speaker 4: I don't know, Uh, Okay, I mean the game's reviewing

1851
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:41,279
better than I thought it would. It's a seventy two

1852
01:25:41,319 --> 01:25:44,279
one open critic, so, uh, like I said, it is

1853
01:25:44,319 --> 01:25:46,479
getting better the more I play it. I think that's

1854
01:25:46,479 --> 01:25:48,720
what a lot of reviewers are saying. Whereas the more

1855
01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:51,840
you play it, more is there. And so it starts

1856
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:54,199
off kind of at its lowest point and by the

1857
01:25:54,239 --> 01:25:56,319
time you're done it, it's a much improved game. So

1858
01:25:58,199 --> 01:26:00,560
but i'd like, I just would not reck like who's

1859
01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:02,359
gonna be like, Okay, but I still hate looking at it,

1860
01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:03,800
so I'm not going to buy it now.

1861
01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:07,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't know if we'll talk about High

1862
01:26:07,359 --> 01:26:11,079
Guard continued weirdness today.

1863
01:26:11,239 --> 01:26:13,960
Speaker 2: Probably the site is like down as of when we've

1864
01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:16,039
been recorded saying it was hacked.

1865
01:26:16,079 --> 01:26:19,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like I think, I'm I'm, I think we're

1866
01:26:19,319 --> 01:26:24,479
all learning that placement in a show definitely matters, because

1867
01:26:25,359 --> 01:26:28,720
showing God of War Sons of Sparta way after that

1868
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:33,319
Castlevania game I think was a huge disservice because like

1869
01:26:33,359 --> 01:26:37,159
that Castlevania game, I can't stop thinking about it, I.

1870
01:26:37,039 --> 01:26:41,680
Speaker 2: Was saying for the talkover new Castlevania. Yeah, that was great.

1871
01:26:43,359 --> 01:26:45,640
I'm very excited about that. And and oh, oh that

1872
01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:49,159
Star Wars racing game that I picked it. Some of

1873
01:26:49,239 --> 01:26:51,159
your like, oh, it's kind of a spicy pick Mike,

1874
01:26:51,199 --> 01:26:54,600
I'm like, oh, did I blow it? And it looks good? Awesome,

1875
01:26:56,039 --> 01:26:56,640
very happy.

1876
01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:01,479
Speaker 1: All right, Well, that was a long seg talking about games.

1877
01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:04,279
We're gonna take a quick, maybe an extended, little bricky

1878
01:27:04,319 --> 01:27:06,680
break here, and then we'll get on the other side

1879
01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:15,159
talk about news right after this.

1880
01:27:15,159 --> 01:27:23,199
Speaker 2: This is to throw up with spitting. Hey, yeah, let's uh,

1881
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:26,319
let's do this news. And let let's start with what

1882
01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:28,680
is always the most things, the most fun thing. To

1883
01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:30,199
start with that Ramageddon.

1884
01:27:31,119 --> 01:27:34,760
Speaker 4: Ram is expensive, it's only going to get more expensive,

1885
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:36,800
and we continue to hear how it's going to affect

1886
01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:40,439
everything in our lives, but also video game consoles PlayStation

1887
01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:44,960
six possibly being held on by Sony until twenty twenty

1888
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:46,880
eight or maybe even twenty twenty nine.

1889
01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:50,760
Speaker 2: Now no what uh huh.

1890
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:53,800
Speaker 4: They this comes from Bloomberg, who's doing reporting on this.

1891
01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:57,640
They also say that the switch to is very likely

1892
01:27:57,680 --> 01:27:59,600
to get a price increase because of this. It's gonna

1893
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:03,079
be hard for Nintendo to avoid that. But yeah, apparently

1894
01:28:03,359 --> 01:28:06,239
Sony was looking at like twenty twenty seven to get

1895
01:28:06,239 --> 01:28:08,920
things started with the next generation, and now they are

1896
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:11,439
pushing that back. And the popular response to this has

1897
01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:14,439
been like good, uh, we're We're gonna be happy to

1898
01:28:14,439 --> 01:28:19,359
stick with the PS five even longer. But yeah, this

1899
01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:21,680
is a generation that's had a lot of reasons to

1900
01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:25,119
be prolonged after COVID, and there's still a lot of

1901
01:28:25,119 --> 01:28:28,119
games getting canceled throughout that time, So this generation taking

1902
01:28:28,159 --> 01:28:30,399
a long time to feel like it got started. And

1903
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:33,800
also the rush to PS six in a time where

1904
01:28:33,840 --> 01:28:35,800
where it's like, how are you going to market that?

1905
01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:37,960
How are you going to make that feel special? It's

1906
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:39,119
such a huge question mark.

1907
01:28:39,159 --> 01:28:40,840
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, they might as well take their time,

1908
01:28:41,760 --> 01:28:45,640
even though when they do this, it's probably still going

1909
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:48,560
to be the most expensive console like there is there

1910
01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:50,520
any way in your guys's eyes that the PS six

1911
01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:53,119
comes out whenever it does and it is less expensive

1912
01:28:53,159 --> 01:28:58,039
than what a PS five pro is now an yea eight,

1913
01:28:59,159 --> 01:29:01,039
I think, yeah, it's like seven to fifty or something

1914
01:29:01,079 --> 01:29:01,199
like that.

1915
01:29:01,239 --> 01:29:04,439
Speaker 1: Oh, it's that a PS six is probably gonna be

1916
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:05,399
like around eight.

1917
01:29:06,039 --> 01:29:06,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna be right.

1918
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:09,680
Speaker 3: This is fucking me up. The PS five and the

1919
01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:15,119
Xbox the current one. We're twenty twenty sixty No.

1920
01:29:15,079 --> 01:29:20,119
Speaker 2: Those just kid Yeah, no, right, it's been that long

1921
01:29:20,159 --> 01:29:22,640
since the pandemic. Oh it's rough.

1922
01:29:22,720 --> 01:29:25,680
Speaker 3: Huh what that was was a brand new I just

1923
01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:26,279
picked that up.

1924
01:29:27,199 --> 01:29:29,960
Speaker 2: Okay, it messed with our sense of time for sure.

1925
01:29:30,159 --> 01:29:32,479
Speaker 4: And but you know, a big part with a big

1926
01:29:32,520 --> 01:29:35,159
problem with these consoles is just like the PS four

1927
01:29:35,239 --> 01:29:38,800
was supported for so long and the exclusive games never

1928
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:40,680
really felt like that much different than what we got

1929
01:29:40,720 --> 01:29:43,640
last gen. So people are still, i think, in many cases,

1930
01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:47,079
sitting around going when is this really gonna get going?

1931
01:29:47,159 --> 01:29:49,039
And that's picked up a little bit in like the

1932
01:29:49,119 --> 01:29:52,920
last year or so. But hopefully now with this extra time,

1933
01:29:53,079 --> 01:29:55,279
they can really make this console generation feel like it

1934
01:29:55,359 --> 01:29:55,800
was worth it.

1935
01:29:56,279 --> 01:29:59,359
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, yeah it wasna I was gonna say like

1936
01:30:00,199 --> 01:30:01,439
part of that too, is because they have to like

1937
01:30:01,479 --> 01:30:04,760
lock in specs, right like, and it's you know, you

1938
01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:09,520
are handcuffing yourself to a thing that will rapidly age

1939
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:13,319
if you you know, there's a balance, right of, like

1940
01:30:13,439 --> 01:30:15,920
committing and locking in those specs, And I think that

1941
01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:16,600
plays into it.

1942
01:30:16,640 --> 01:30:18,960
Speaker 4: I also think like there probably are they and they

1943
01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:21,039
probably are locked in right now yeaheah.

1944
01:30:21,199 --> 01:30:25,680
Speaker 5: I also think, like I don't know, like I outside

1945
01:30:25,680 --> 01:30:31,439
of the you know, understanding that people for whatever reason

1946
01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:34,800
seem to be willing to continue to pay prices that

1947
01:30:34,920 --> 01:30:38,439
are pornographic in nature, right of, like how much these

1948
01:30:38,479 --> 01:30:42,600
things cost. I also think, you know, a lot changes

1949
01:30:42,640 --> 01:30:44,920
in a couple of years. I don't know, a lot

1950
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:47,760
does change, and the world economy can change. And I

1951
01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:49,319
also think like there.

1952
01:30:49,239 --> 01:30:49,600
Speaker 2: Might be.

1953
01:30:51,239 --> 01:30:55,119
Speaker 5: I don't know, more abundance of you know, RAM from

1954
01:30:55,159 --> 01:30:56,279
another supplier.

1955
01:30:57,039 --> 01:30:58,760
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I think, I think.

1956
01:30:59,079 --> 01:31:02,880
Speaker 5: I think the China conversation is like not, I don't

1957
01:31:02,920 --> 01:31:05,520
think there's a dead end there, yeah.

1958
01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:07,600
Speaker 4: Like right, none of that's going to happen in the

1959
01:31:07,640 --> 01:31:10,720
next year, for sure, You're right, it will take a

1960
01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:15,199
couple of years. The like let's say, like AI fell through,

1961
01:31:15,279 --> 01:31:17,439
right now and all of that RAM that was getting

1962
01:31:17,479 --> 01:31:20,640
sold to those AI data centers was just now, hey,

1963
01:31:21,039 --> 01:31:23,039
we were going to give this to them, but they

1964
01:31:23,159 --> 01:31:24,920
went out of business, so now we have it.

1965
01:31:24,960 --> 01:31:25,640
Speaker 2: Up for grabs.

1966
01:31:26,039 --> 01:31:28,920
Speaker 4: A lot of that stuff is like high bandwidth memory

1967
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:33,079
that would still be really prohibitively expensive to put into

1968
01:31:33,199 --> 01:31:36,600
a into a video card or a console or something

1969
01:31:36,640 --> 01:31:36,880
like that.

1970
01:31:36,920 --> 01:31:40,159
Speaker 2: It's not the same thing. They have just deemphasized their

1971
01:31:40,199 --> 01:31:43,840
efforts to keep up with DDR five and DDR six

1972
01:31:43,880 --> 01:31:47,880
and DDR seven and DDR six x or whatever. So

1973
01:31:49,199 --> 01:31:50,119
it's a real mess.

1974
01:31:50,199 --> 01:31:52,720
Speaker 4: Like it's not like going to be like suddenly there

1975
01:31:52,800 --> 01:31:55,720
is one magic bullet that comes along and makes things better.

1976
01:31:56,039 --> 01:31:58,359
Speaker 2: It will have to be like sustained.

1977
01:31:58,319 --> 01:32:01,399
Speaker 4: Efforts from these companies working in that direction, and right

1978
01:32:01,439 --> 01:32:04,680
now there is no effort whatsoever to improve it. So

1979
01:32:05,119 --> 01:32:08,600
we are a long ways off from this being a

1980
01:32:08,640 --> 01:32:12,119
market that is saying in any way, And in the meantime,

1981
01:32:12,439 --> 01:32:14,039
if you are trying to say, hey, we are trying

1982
01:32:14,039 --> 01:32:15,680
to design a PS six that's going to have what

1983
01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:20,319
they say, thirty gigabytes of RAM or something like that,

1984
01:32:20,359 --> 01:32:23,840
it was like twenty four to thirty gigabytes of DDR seven.

1985
01:32:24,279 --> 01:32:27,960
That's a very expensive proposition and they're going to have

1986
01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:29,760
to kind of figure out what that looks like and

1987
01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:32,279
if they can keep that going and actually deliver a

1988
01:32:32,279 --> 01:32:33,800
product that has those specs.

1989
01:32:34,399 --> 01:32:37,640
Speaker 2: All right, that's continuing on this thread.

1990
01:32:38,039 --> 01:32:42,279
Speaker 4: Steam deck stock issues are basically confirmed by Valve, and

1991
01:32:42,319 --> 01:32:45,399
they said that there will be be intermittent shortages for

1992
01:32:45,479 --> 01:32:46,640
all the reasons you think.

1993
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:50,039
Speaker 2: It's about the RAM and the storage costs.

1994
01:32:50,279 --> 01:32:53,840
Speaker 4: Both those are going up in price and it's causing delays,

1995
01:32:54,239 --> 01:32:55,840
especially in places like United States.

1996
01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:59,239
Speaker 2: Whe then there's tariffs on top of that. So Valve's

1997
01:32:59,239 --> 01:33:03,600
saying expect these intermittent shortages to happen throughout the rest

1998
01:33:03,640 --> 01:33:05,159
of the year. At the very least.

1999
01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:08,760
Speaker 4: It's things are just gonna be bad and kind of

2000
01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:11,560
get worse, and they're gonna be expensive, and they're gonna

2001
01:33:11,560 --> 01:33:14,640
get more expensive. It is a hobby that was already

2002
01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:17,720
pushing a lot of people away. How do all these

2003
01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:18,960
companies sort of navigate this?

2004
01:33:19,159 --> 01:33:21,399
Speaker 2: Is there? I mean, is there an answer? Yeah?

2005
01:33:21,479 --> 01:33:23,880
Speaker 1: I don't think there's an easy answer, Greb. I think

2006
01:33:24,159 --> 01:33:26,159
companies are just gonna have to rely on what we've

2007
01:33:26,600 --> 01:33:29,960
already got, right, and folks that didn't pick up a

2008
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:33,079
Steam Deck, don't have a PS five. They're just kind

2009
01:33:33,119 --> 01:33:34,680
of be left out in the dust.

2010
01:33:35,720 --> 01:33:40,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, Apparently in the UK, PlayStation started a PlayStation rental

2011
01:33:40,720 --> 01:33:44,000
program where you can rent it for like ten pounds

2012
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:45,159
a month or something like that.

2013
01:33:45,279 --> 01:33:47,840
Speaker 2: So, man, the other time I rented a game consoles,

2014
01:33:47,840 --> 01:33:50,159
when I rented the Dreamcast before it came out from

2015
01:33:50,159 --> 01:33:53,640
my Hollywood video, I rented a PlayStation one. Yeah, a

2016
01:33:53,720 --> 01:33:56,239
Tosha Dan was real good. Actually, y'all have heard me

2017
01:33:56,279 --> 01:33:59,239
talk about libraries. Some libraries will let you do the

2018
01:33:59,239 --> 01:34:01,760
same for so, so go investigate.

2019
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:06,399
Speaker 4: They didn't say like when to expect this to get

2020
01:34:06,399 --> 01:34:07,640
cleared up, and they don't know.

2021
01:34:08,600 --> 01:34:08,720
Speaker 2: Uh.

2022
01:34:09,079 --> 01:34:12,680
Speaker 4: And then the a sus rog Xbox ally X got

2023
01:34:12,720 --> 01:34:15,680
a big price increase in Japan, went up by around

2024
01:34:15,720 --> 01:34:16,600
two hundred dollars.

2025
01:34:17,840 --> 01:34:18,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, and.

2026
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:20,880
Speaker 4: That that is on top of that that or that

2027
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:24,000
is due to once again the memory. That thing has

2028
01:34:24,039 --> 01:34:27,079
like twenty four gigabytes of dd R five of the

2029
01:34:27,119 --> 01:34:30,079
lower powered variety, and like you can get a model

2030
01:34:30,119 --> 01:34:32,319
that has a terabyte of storage, and both of those

2031
01:34:32,319 --> 01:34:33,359
are getting very hit arter.

2032
01:34:33,399 --> 01:34:35,119
Speaker 2: How much do we need all this memory? We can

2033
01:34:35,159 --> 01:34:37,600
make these game causles out memory. Why do that to

2034
01:34:37,640 --> 01:34:40,279
remember so much things? That's pretty stupid.

2035
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:43,399
Speaker 5: And I mean, Mike, it's got a point.

2036
01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:51,000
Speaker 4: No, I like, maybe the frustrating thing here is how

2037
01:34:51,039 --> 01:34:54,600
stupid that these companies that are causing this problem.

2038
01:34:54,760 --> 01:34:56,159
Speaker 2: I think Chris Person pointed.

2039
01:34:55,880 --> 01:34:59,000
Speaker 4: This out, like, you need a device that has memory

2040
01:34:59,199 --> 01:35:01,520
to be able to use the cloud and all this

2041
01:35:01,600 --> 01:35:04,279
AI stuff in the first place. So if you're just

2042
01:35:04,319 --> 01:35:06,439
gonna make that stuff more expensive, you're gonna maybe price

2043
01:35:06,479 --> 01:35:08,279
people out from connecting to it in.

2044
01:35:08,199 --> 01:35:11,920
Speaker 2: The first place. Uh, it's just a bad, bad guy,

2045
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:12,840
you know, across the board.

2046
01:35:13,159 --> 01:35:16,479
Speaker 3: Need you to uh identify something here, Okay, is this

2047
01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:21,079
a is this a tariff thing, an AI thing, both

2048
01:35:21,239 --> 01:35:22,159
or more complicated?

2049
01:35:23,439 --> 01:35:26,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's all those. Yeah, it's all the above. Okay.

2050
01:35:26,640 --> 01:35:30,800
Speaker 4: So it's primarily a AI thing that is causing the

2051
01:35:30,840 --> 01:35:32,880
biggest pressure on the cost.

2052
01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:35,159
Speaker 3: Of because centers are using too much and they're buying

2053
01:35:35,199 --> 01:35:36,000
up all this stuff.

2054
01:35:36,159 --> 01:35:39,560
Speaker 4: They are they are paying like a premium on top

2055
01:35:39,640 --> 01:35:42,359
of the already high costs for these things so that

2056
01:35:42,359 --> 01:35:44,720
they can get priority and get first in line, and

2057
01:35:44,840 --> 01:35:47,640
so all this money is just impossible for these companies

2058
01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:50,359
that are publicly traded companies to ignore, and so they

2059
01:35:50,880 --> 01:35:53,960
they aren't ignoring it. And because they are a finite

2060
01:35:54,039 --> 01:35:58,319
they have finite resources, they are ignoring the traditional markets

2061
01:35:59,039 --> 01:36:01,479
that create the memory that went in your consoles or

2062
01:36:01,479 --> 01:36:03,520
witt in your phone or written all these other things.

2063
01:36:03,920 --> 01:36:08,800
Uh So, like they aren't building up those manufacturing plants anymore.

2064
01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:10,760
They're kind of letting them just run as they were,

2065
01:36:11,119 --> 01:36:12,479
and that is meaning that they can't keep up with

2066
01:36:12,520 --> 01:36:14,680
the rising demand that is happening on that side. And

2067
01:36:14,720 --> 01:36:17,560
then for the United the United States specifically, then tariffs

2068
01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:20,279
get piled on top of that. So this already bad

2069
01:36:20,319 --> 01:36:21,239
cost is going.

2070
01:36:21,079 --> 01:36:21,640
Speaker 2: Up even.

2071
01:36:23,079 --> 01:36:25,640
Speaker 3: Just making more right, that's it's more complicated.

2072
01:36:26,079 --> 01:36:30,760
Speaker 4: So there are three companies that make it six Uh yes,

2073
01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:34,680
they make they make memory, sk High Nix, Samsung and.

2074
01:36:36,119 --> 01:36:38,439
Speaker 2: You see is it Micron? Maybe it's my I think

2075
01:36:38,439 --> 01:36:49,279
it's should make it Ram to the giant pop store problem.

2076
01:36:49,479 --> 01:36:52,600
Speaker 5: The problem with RAM is that you can't just make it.

2077
01:36:52,720 --> 01:36:55,760
You need like a factory that takes like seven years

2078
01:36:55,800 --> 01:36:58,479
to build, and you need like a very clean.

2079
01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:03,720
Speaker 3: Three D M Yeah, you get on the RAM grift.

2080
01:37:03,760 --> 01:37:04,640
We gotta do that, Come.

2081
01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:05,520
Speaker 2: On, Chuck, solve it.

2082
01:37:05,960 --> 01:37:10,399
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, it's uh Micron, Like there's three companies and

2083
01:37:10,479 --> 01:37:13,439
Micron left the consumer space last year because of this.

2084
01:37:13,520 --> 01:37:15,119
They're like, we can make way more money just sewing

2085
01:37:15,159 --> 01:37:18,199
it to the data center. So fuck consumers, and some

2086
01:37:18,319 --> 01:37:18,479
of you.

2087
01:37:18,560 --> 01:37:21,600
Speaker 1: Related to fuck consumers. I someone posted in chat and

2088
01:37:21,600 --> 01:37:24,680
I looked it up. Apparently Western Digital is sold out

2089
01:37:24,680 --> 01:37:27,560
of hard drives for twenty twenty six already.

2090
01:37:27,720 --> 01:37:31,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, well maybe they're allotments. Is that what they're saying.

2091
01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, they already like it, but for already and we're

2092
01:37:35,039 --> 01:37:35,920
only in February.

2093
01:37:35,960 --> 01:37:39,359
Speaker 2: That's insane. And am I going to get USB drives?

2094
01:37:39,439 --> 01:37:41,520
Speaker 4: I think that yeah is going to be the here

2095
01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:45,039
we got nasty and all got nasses, So that's that's unfortunate.

2096
01:37:45,239 --> 01:37:51,359
Speaker 5: Listen, don't forget folks, listeners, viewers, watchers, consumers. Jiba will

2097
01:37:51,399 --> 01:37:54,039
never force you to upgrade your RAM to enjoy our content.

2098
01:37:54,319 --> 01:37:54,840
Speaker 2: That's true.

2099
01:37:57,800 --> 01:38:05,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can watch pack yeah and will be will

2100
01:38:05,840 --> 01:38:08,199
be chocolate covered, inedible.

2101
01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:10,399
Speaker 2: You won't have a problem in the shape of a

2102
01:38:10,520 --> 01:38:16,399
dragged exactly. We're like the big knockers. Yeah, how sweet.

2103
01:38:16,720 --> 01:38:19,119
Speaker 1: That's where the RAM comes in. Oh of course, that's

2104
01:38:19,359 --> 01:38:20,199
that's how it works.

2105
01:38:21,399 --> 01:38:23,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Well, Uh, this the stakes.

2106
01:38:23,720 --> 01:38:25,760
Speaker 4: I don't think that we're going to have like any

2107
01:38:25,800 --> 01:38:27,199
sort of easy path out of this.

2108
01:38:27,680 --> 01:38:29,680
Speaker 2: Will developers make sort of.

2109
01:38:29,600 --> 01:38:32,159
Speaker 4: Adjustments to their games, recognizing that people are not going

2110
01:38:32,239 --> 01:38:33,720
to be able to keep up with having a minimum

2111
01:38:33,720 --> 01:38:36,199
of like thirty two gigabytes in their in their systems,

2112
01:38:36,199 --> 01:38:39,000
in their PCs. Sounds like some of them are thinking

2113
01:38:39,039 --> 01:38:41,000
that there's already been at least one company, I can't

2114
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:43,880
remember what game it was they walked back their minimum

2115
01:38:43,880 --> 01:38:46,920
specs like we are going to require less RAM. Don't

2116
01:38:46,960 --> 01:38:49,640
freak out, So hopefully that becomes it.

2117
01:38:49,640 --> 01:38:51,399
Speaker 2: Certainly seems like we have got to be a time

2118
01:38:51,439 --> 01:38:54,880
where the whole unless you're rock Star making grantha to

2119
01:38:55,039 --> 01:38:58,039
a six. Yeah, no, nobody wants to hear about like

2120
01:38:58,159 --> 01:39:01,119
this is gonna be the most hyphened game ever. We

2121
01:39:01,159 --> 01:39:04,359
don't want that. Actually, can't you make your games look

2122
01:39:04,520 --> 01:39:07,279
much worse? Please? Yep?

2123
01:39:07,479 --> 01:39:10,000
Speaker 4: Make it run on my potato and then and then

2124
01:39:10,039 --> 01:39:12,680
don't release a PS six for several more years, please.

2125
01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:16,319
Speaker 5: Yes, Even d d R for RAM is like going

2126
01:39:16,399 --> 01:39:16,720
up in.

2127
01:39:17,079 --> 01:39:19,560
Speaker 4: I mean that's because, like they probably have, they were

2128
01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:22,359
already deemphasizing that before any of this happened, right, they

2129
01:39:22,359 --> 01:39:23,760
were like, well, we're not gonna build any new d

2130
01:39:23,880 --> 01:39:25,159
d R four plants.

2131
01:39:26,039 --> 01:39:29,840
Speaker 5: So yeah, no one could know this was gonna happen.

2132
01:39:30,680 --> 01:39:34,159
So and no one saw this coming. There were zero

2133
01:39:34,279 --> 01:39:37,760
warning signs. It's a it's an act of God, is really.

2134
01:39:37,479 --> 01:39:38,039
Speaker 2: What it is.

2135
01:39:38,279 --> 01:39:42,439
Speaker 4: And the billionaires that are in these spaces that are

2136
01:39:43,039 --> 01:39:45,640
causing this, I think it's probably a good thing because

2137
01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:47,760
that means we'll have to just rent our computers from

2138
01:39:47,840 --> 01:39:50,560
Nvidia in the future, so that that's what they want

2139
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:52,319
they get to be in. There's another space where they

2140
01:39:52,319 --> 01:39:55,279
could be our landlords and it's our computers, which is

2141
01:39:55,319 --> 01:39:57,000
just an exciting possibility.

2142
01:39:57,079 --> 01:39:57,319
Speaker 2: Crib.

2143
01:39:57,359 --> 01:40:01,359
Speaker 1: Do you think that could actually legitimately lead to some small,

2144
01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:09,359
small resurgence of like internet cafes.

2145
01:40:04,880 --> 01:40:09,920
Speaker 4: J Yeah, we should definitely be doing that slash cat

2146
01:40:09,960 --> 01:40:16,239
cafe you we have a'mout. Yes, I think I think

2147
01:40:16,239 --> 01:40:18,760
we will see a resurgence of stuff along those lines,

2148
01:40:18,840 --> 01:40:21,640
maybe maybe more often people getting their library card and

2149
01:40:21,680 --> 01:40:24,560
going to their library right using the computers there go

2150
01:40:24,600 --> 01:40:28,399
do that. But uh, yep, all right, Uh, Nintendo's got

2151
01:40:28,439 --> 01:40:31,479
a new wave of wave for our everybody. It's the

2152
01:40:31,680 --> 01:40:35,920
best thing that they are very good at delivering dmcash.

2153
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:39,439
They are basically hitting every switch emulator.

2154
01:40:38,840 --> 01:40:43,119
Speaker 2: Repo on GitHub. They've done this before, they're doing it again.

2155
01:40:43,680 --> 01:40:46,880
Speaker 4: Uh of course. Uh, you know, this is their way

2156
01:40:46,920 --> 01:40:48,600
of like going out there and showing that they're active

2157
01:40:48,600 --> 01:40:51,199
and throwing their weight around. It's not gonna have too

2158
01:40:51,319 --> 01:40:54,039
much of an effect because the people that really know

2159
01:40:54,079 --> 01:40:56,880
what they're doing with this stuff will host the repos

2160
01:40:56,920 --> 01:41:01,000
themselves and all these things have backups outside again hub. Uh,

2161
01:41:01,039 --> 01:41:03,159
So it's really just kind of a surface level.

2162
01:41:03,039 --> 01:41:05,359
Speaker 2: Like stopping people from being able to find it like.

2163
01:41:05,359 --> 01:41:09,439
Speaker 4: Relatively easy easily. But yeah, Nintendo's still out there doing

2164
01:41:09,439 --> 01:41:13,079
this thing. They were primarily going after switch emulators, though

2165
01:41:13,119 --> 01:41:16,359
here this is still them being like that was hit

2166
01:41:16,439 --> 01:41:18,560
that head a little bit too close to our money maker.

2167
01:41:19,079 --> 01:41:19,279
Speaker 2: Uh.

2168
01:41:19,359 --> 01:41:21,680
Speaker 4: The the emulation scene kind of got up and running

2169
01:41:21,680 --> 01:41:24,039
a little bit faster than we were comfortable with. So

2170
01:41:24,079 --> 01:41:27,119
we are going to come down hard and uh, you know,

2171
01:41:27,279 --> 01:41:29,359
we have moved past the switch now for the most part.

2172
01:41:29,800 --> 01:41:32,079
They haven't stopped releasing switch games though, so I'm not

2173
01:41:32,119 --> 01:41:33,960
too surprised to see them coming out and doing this.

2174
01:41:34,359 --> 01:41:37,840
It's Nintendo. They are mostly lawyers at this point. M

2175
01:41:38,760 --> 01:41:45,000
uh any dot Hack fans Yo, Yes, could have could

2176
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:46,600
have guessed that, could have guessed.

2177
01:41:46,960 --> 01:41:53,279
Speaker 3: Me and d we're the number one.

2178
01:41:52,079 --> 01:41:56,680
Speaker 2: Hack curious, but I never Uh. Well, that cyber Connect

2179
01:41:56,680 --> 01:41:59,399
two game that was getting teased was them confirming that

2180
01:41:59,439 --> 01:42:04,439
they are making dot Hack zero positioned as a restart

2181
01:42:04,600 --> 01:42:07,359
of dot hack from zero, and so it has nothing

2182
01:42:07,359 --> 01:42:09,239
to do with like I think there was some novels

2183
01:42:09,239 --> 01:42:12,439
called dot hag zero. Nothing to do with that, confusing.

2184
01:42:12,520 --> 01:42:15,119
Speaker 4: This is this is them starting over from scratch, and

2185
01:42:16,399 --> 01:42:18,399
apparently they've been working on it for a long time

2186
01:42:18,520 --> 01:42:20,000
or at least thinking about it for a long time.

2187
01:42:20,039 --> 01:42:23,560
Speaker 2: It's going to be an action RPG. Uh.

2188
01:42:23,600 --> 01:42:27,319
Speaker 4: And they also said, like they they in the previous games,

2189
01:42:27,640 --> 01:42:30,920
there would there would be sort of gestures towards the

2190
01:42:30,960 --> 01:42:33,680
real world. Dot Hack was a game within a game,

2191
01:42:33,960 --> 01:42:36,319
and you were playing inside of it. It's MMO inside

2192
01:42:36,359 --> 01:42:38,960
of the game called the world, I think, and uh,

2193
01:42:39,199 --> 01:42:41,319
then you could get some taste of what was happening

2194
01:42:41,319 --> 01:42:44,840
outside of the world from emails and a handful of

2195
01:42:44,880 --> 01:42:47,119
other things. Here, it's going to be like, oh no,

2196
01:42:47,279 --> 01:42:49,720
we did that back then because we wanted to save

2197
01:42:49,800 --> 01:42:52,920
money and time. There will be no such restraints this time,

2198
01:42:52,960 --> 01:42:55,279
we are going to be fully exploring both sides. That

2199
01:42:55,520 --> 01:42:57,399
jan what does that say to you?

2200
01:42:57,800 --> 01:43:00,840
Speaker 1: That's actually pretty cool. I thought dot Hack was an

2201
01:43:00,840 --> 01:43:03,640
interesting thing to come out in a post matrix world

2202
01:43:03,880 --> 01:43:07,520
where folks were so used to and I guess is

2203
01:43:07,760 --> 01:43:11,000
for me at least, it kind of led to Pokemon

2204
01:43:11,199 --> 01:43:13,479
not Pokemon Mega Man Battle Network, where you kind of

2205
01:43:13,520 --> 01:43:14,880
have that integration.

2206
01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:18,039
Speaker 2: Yea into the same spot. Yeah, jumping into a world.

2207
01:43:18,159 --> 01:43:19,079
So that's cool.

2208
01:43:19,159 --> 01:43:22,439
Speaker 1: I I enjoyed the little emails and like the little

2209
01:43:22,560 --> 01:43:24,960
text stuff that would come out of it. I wonder

2210
01:43:24,960 --> 01:43:28,159
if that might muddy the flow of the game a bit,

2211
01:43:28,239 --> 01:43:32,119
because you know, you're in an action RPG in the

2212
01:43:32,119 --> 01:43:35,119
the world of the world that I don't know what

2213
01:43:35,159 --> 01:43:39,119
you would do in a real life part of dot

2214
01:43:39,199 --> 01:43:42,199
Hack other than I don't know, answer emails and it's.

2215
01:43:42,199 --> 01:43:44,119
Speaker 2: Gonna be like the real life part of Assassin's Crea.

2216
01:43:44,159 --> 01:43:45,479
You're mostly just talking to people.

2217
01:43:45,560 --> 01:43:49,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, looking at it, Yeah, I could be yeah, trying

2218
01:43:49,760 --> 01:43:52,279
to buy ram I don't know, you.

2219
01:43:52,239 --> 01:43:55,159
Speaker 3: Know what, I would love to do. This is never possible,

2220
01:43:55,159 --> 01:43:56,880
Like I know, they bring back all these games in

2221
01:43:56,880 --> 01:43:58,520
different ways, they said they never could, but I can't

2222
01:43:58,560 --> 01:44:02,079
imagine this could ever happen. Majestic, the EA game from

2223
01:44:02,119 --> 01:44:05,680
two thousand and one. Do you remember this? It was

2224
01:44:05,720 --> 01:44:09,039
like it was an arc thing. So it's like characters

2225
01:44:09,079 --> 01:44:12,600
would message, they would text you and say like, oh,

2226
01:44:12,800 --> 01:44:14,560
I'm gonna I'm gonna get a hold of you tomorrow

2227
01:44:14,560 --> 01:44:16,680
at two am, and they would do it, and it's

2228
01:44:16,720 --> 01:44:18,680
like you have to go on the actual internet instead

2229
01:44:18,720 --> 01:44:19,359
it facts you.

2230
01:44:19,680 --> 01:44:21,399
Speaker 2: I think it might have faxed you.

2231
01:44:21,479 --> 01:44:22,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll call you.

2232
01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:25,319
Speaker 2: You get AOL Instant Messengers message.

2233
01:44:27,680 --> 01:44:28,479
Speaker 3: It's got Joey Pa.

2234
01:44:29,880 --> 01:44:30,359
Speaker 5: Remember this.

2235
01:44:30,479 --> 01:44:32,399
Speaker 3: I just think that there's just no way you could

2236
01:44:32,399 --> 01:44:35,000
ever replicate that. But I was always so curious about

2237
01:44:35,039 --> 01:44:35,720
what the fuck that was.

2238
01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:41,119
Speaker 2: Like, Yeah, Giant Bomb had an alternate reality game, right,

2239
01:44:41,239 --> 01:44:43,279
yeah we should we should be the ones doing these

2240
01:44:43,319 --> 01:44:50,319
now he did Majestic. Yeah, the Giant Bomb.

2241
01:44:50,520 --> 01:44:52,479
Speaker 3: It was like the game with Michael Douglas, which again

2242
01:44:52,520 --> 01:44:55,000
I've always just they should make the game real, and

2243
01:44:55,039 --> 01:44:56,560
they kind of tried and no one bought it.

2244
01:44:57,560 --> 01:44:59,680
Speaker 2: If the game is real, Dan, I promise I'll get

2245
01:44:59,680 --> 01:45:00,079
it for you.

2246
01:45:00,079 --> 01:45:00,880
Speaker 3: You'll be my Sean Pa.

2247
01:45:01,039 --> 01:45:03,960
Speaker 2: You're going I will be your Michael Douglas the game.

2248
01:45:04,039 --> 01:45:05,920
You thank you. I appreciate it.

2249
01:45:06,119 --> 01:45:08,840
Speaker 5: I love that movie to death, but it is on

2250
01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:11,600
it It's like in a vacuum. It's awesome, and then

2251
01:45:11,600 --> 01:45:12,439
when you think about it.

2252
01:45:12,439 --> 01:45:15,039
Speaker 3: It's credibly I would like to be the one riding

2253
01:45:15,199 --> 01:45:17,159
the game. Actually, I don't want to be Michael Douglas.

2254
01:45:17,239 --> 01:45:19,439
I would Mike Manatti will be our Mike Douglas. I'll

2255
01:45:19,479 --> 01:45:19,960
be the person I.

2256
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:23,119
Speaker 5: Want to be Michael Douglas because you are forced to

2257
01:45:23,359 --> 01:45:27,159
try to commit suicide at the end of the work.

2258
01:45:28,039 --> 01:45:31,119
Speaker 3: Not to spoil the game it is.

2259
01:45:30,439 --> 01:45:35,640
Speaker 5: But until Michael Douglas hits the fucking balloon, Matt, he

2260
01:45:35,880 --> 01:45:38,840
thinks he's killing him, but then it's a fucking party.

2261
01:45:40,439 --> 01:45:42,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's always good to get a part.

2262
01:45:42,439 --> 01:45:44,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure. Like that was the

2263
01:45:44,680 --> 01:45:46,520
other thing I couldn't believe about that movie. He like

2264
01:45:46,920 --> 01:45:49,520
dusts all the glass off himself and he's like, whoa,

2265
01:45:50,039 --> 01:45:55,239
it's just all for me, Champagne sick.

2266
01:45:55,479 --> 01:45:57,000
Speaker 3: Thanks for coming incredible movie.

2267
01:45:57,039 --> 01:46:03,000
Speaker 5: Twenty seconds ago, I was trying to kill myself, but glad.

2268
01:46:01,720 --> 01:46:03,880
Speaker 2: Not literal, Like that movie can't be a literal.

2269
01:46:05,640 --> 01:46:11,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the one that kills himself. Mario kills himself

2270
01:46:11,720 --> 01:46:12,359
in that movie.

2271
01:46:13,119 --> 01:46:16,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, like a reality where Nintendo had him assassinated.

2272
01:46:16,479 --> 01:46:17,279
Speaker 2: That's very different.

2273
01:46:17,319 --> 01:46:18,520
Speaker 3: It's a crazy movie.

2274
01:46:19,079 --> 01:46:22,199
Speaker 5: Great, it is crazy. It is well done, Like it's

2275
01:46:22,199 --> 01:46:25,560
definitely entertaining, but it's also insane adventure.

2276
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, and that's and that's stock hacks here.

2277
01:46:29,279 --> 01:46:34,479
Speaker 4: Everybody poke came on Pucopia is getting cloud Island servers.

2278
01:46:35,239 --> 01:46:37,520
So basically what the thing here is. And yeah, this

2279
01:46:37,640 --> 01:46:41,600
isn't worthy thing because the game will host your world

2280
01:46:41,760 --> 01:46:44,760
online even when you aren't logged in, which is very

2281
01:46:44,760 --> 01:46:46,880
convenient if you like want to get a friend group

2282
01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:50,199
together and work together building stuff in a world. That's

2283
01:46:50,199 --> 01:46:53,439
not how it works in Animal Crossing and Animal Crossing,

2284
01:46:53,439 --> 01:46:55,760
like someone has to be online and then you join

2285
01:46:55,840 --> 01:46:58,000
their world. Here, the world will just be there, so

2286
01:46:58,079 --> 01:46:59,880
people can like go in there and like do things

2287
01:47:00,039 --> 01:47:02,159
while you're at work, and you come home and see

2288
01:47:02,199 --> 01:47:05,239
like what they did. And that's ideal for one of

2289
01:47:05,279 --> 01:47:06,920
these games where you are supposed to be sort of

2290
01:47:06,960 --> 01:47:08,119
be existing in.

2291
01:47:08,119 --> 01:47:13,239
Speaker 2: The space Tocopia. Okay, let's do it. Okay, I'll visit

2292
01:47:13,279 --> 01:47:16,960
to Copia. It kind of took. This game's getting some

2293
01:47:17,039 --> 01:47:19,600
buzz now, Like I was kind of I was like

2294
01:47:20,039 --> 01:47:21,960
this thing I don't know now, you know, I've been

2295
01:47:22,359 --> 01:47:25,239
convinced me learning it's from the Dragon Quest builders people

2296
01:47:25,239 --> 01:47:28,359
when people love those games, and there was some previews

2297
01:47:28,399 --> 01:47:30,479
people seem high on it, like, yeah, I'm kind of

2298
01:47:30,520 --> 01:47:32,840
like ready for this to hit pretty good now.

2299
01:47:33,680 --> 01:47:36,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's gonna do all right. At the

2300
01:47:36,399 --> 01:47:38,239
very least, it's going to be a sale success. We'll

2301
01:47:38,239 --> 01:47:40,159
see how the reviews do. Like that's kind of up

2302
01:47:40,159 --> 01:47:43,119
in the air, but seems like the fandom is ready

2303
01:47:43,159 --> 01:47:46,239
to embrace this game, and I'm getting kind of excited

2304
01:47:46,239 --> 01:47:46,720
about it.

2305
01:47:47,000 --> 01:47:50,000
Speaker 2: I got that game for two doll hairs on Fantasy

2306
01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:55,960
Oh nice a coconut.

2307
01:47:58,680 --> 01:48:01,279
Speaker 4: We talked about the virtual bully. I won't work, the

2308
01:48:01,319 --> 01:48:02,479
virtually Apple won't work.

2309
01:48:02,319 --> 01:48:05,720
Speaker 2: While doc a question about that. Yeah, yeah, please, so

2310
01:48:05,800 --> 01:48:08,720
you see the two screens when it's on DOC though, Yes,

2311
01:48:09,439 --> 01:48:12,479
and I'm very good at magic guy. We've established it. Yes,

2312
01:48:12,520 --> 01:48:14,239
you could do it. I could do that. I could

2313
01:48:14,279 --> 01:48:17,760
just magic. If you cross, if you, if you if

2314
01:48:17,800 --> 01:48:21,079
you used your superpower of being able to do whatever

2315
01:48:21,079 --> 01:48:23,079
the fuck you want to your eyes like some sort

2316
01:48:23,079 --> 01:48:26,239
of freak, you can cross the streams and if you

2317
01:48:26,680 --> 01:48:29,199
line up the two things by crossing your eyes just right.

2318
01:48:29,520 --> 01:48:31,960
It will look three D. All right you I'm making

2319
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:33,960
I'm making your screen bigger. Did okay?

2320
01:48:34,039 --> 01:48:36,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, here you go, Mitch, what do you want to play?

2321
01:48:36,560 --> 01:48:40,439
Speaker 2: I already had it crossed. Give me something I'm giv Yeah.

2322
01:48:40,479 --> 01:48:42,479
The further away, the further way you are from the screen, like,

2323
01:48:42,520 --> 01:48:45,680
the easier it will be. You need it easy, I know,

2324
01:48:45,800 --> 01:48:47,319
I know. Cold.

2325
01:48:47,319 --> 01:48:50,000
Speaker 1: We not just like take the video feed like I

2326
01:48:50,039 --> 01:48:52,960
take the video feed and just overlap them to make

2327
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:53,319
it work.

2328
01:48:53,920 --> 01:48:56,760
Speaker 2: I need no further way. It's easier. You gotta wind

2329
01:48:56,800 --> 01:49:00,520
snow that's too close and also very blurry. There you

2330
01:49:00,920 --> 01:49:11,039
just all I can see is macho man and me Hilaire.

2331
01:49:11,119 --> 01:49:14,640
Also your screen background Dremy Claire. I was doing it

2332
01:49:14,720 --> 01:49:18,319
that entire time. That's awesome. I hope you enjoyed it.

2333
01:49:19,239 --> 01:49:23,920
Something terrible that would be probably pretty bad for my

2334
01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:24,960
eyes to do that.

2335
01:49:26,479 --> 01:49:27,880
Speaker 3: It seems to be like a feature, Mike.

2336
01:49:28,800 --> 01:49:31,359
Speaker 4: I think it seems like you're good at it to

2337
01:49:31,399 --> 01:49:32,720
the point where it's like, I don't know if it

2338
01:49:32,760 --> 01:49:35,119
actually would be bad for your eyes, but let's say yes,

2339
01:49:35,199 --> 01:49:37,000
just in case someone at home tries to do it.

2340
01:49:38,399 --> 01:49:38,600
Speaker 2: Uh.

2341
01:49:38,640 --> 01:49:41,279
Speaker 4: The Virtual Boy Library at launch as a reminder is

2342
01:49:41,319 --> 01:49:45,479
three D Tetris Galactic Pinball just okay golf, which is

2343
01:49:45,880 --> 01:49:50,039
not great, The Mansion of Endsmith, which I think is

2344
01:49:50,119 --> 01:49:54,279
kind of garbage, Red Alarm also garbage, teleroboxers not the worst,

2345
01:49:54,319 --> 01:49:57,520
but it's not great. And then Virtual Boy warrior Land,

2346
01:49:57,520 --> 01:49:58,680
which is actually pretty good.

2347
01:49:58,840 --> 01:50:01,319
Speaker 3: That seems like the only decent ish one. What was

2348
01:50:01,319 --> 01:50:02,800
the one that was kind of the starboks. I played

2349
01:50:02,840 --> 01:50:03,359
a little bit of that.

2350
01:50:04,279 --> 01:50:09,680
Speaker 2: Oh that one, Red Alarm, Oh yeah alarm, Yeah, nothing crazy,

2351
01:50:09,720 --> 01:50:12,479
it's and it's that's one where the whole only black

2352
01:50:12,520 --> 01:50:15,399
and red. Uh. It just thinks makes things pretty difficult

2353
01:50:15,479 --> 01:50:16,119
to discern.

2354
01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:22,000
Speaker 4: Blizzards bringing Warlock class to Diablo for Lords of Hatred,

2355
01:50:22,039 --> 01:50:25,399
Diablo two and Diablo Immortal. I didn't add this, Who

2356
01:50:25,399 --> 01:50:28,319
added this? And this is what it sing.

2357
01:50:28,600 --> 01:50:31,840
Speaker 2: So you know, there's that Diabolo Lord of Hatred expansion

2358
01:50:31,880 --> 01:50:34,800
coming for Diablo four later this year, and we always do.

2359
01:50:34,880 --> 01:50:37,279
There's going to be a second class Paladin already came out.

2360
01:50:37,560 --> 01:50:40,000
Second class is Warlock, so that's neat sure we haven't

2361
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:42,479
had Warlock and Diablo before. Then they're like, it's also

2362
01:50:42,479 --> 01:50:44,960
coming to Diabolo Immortal, which is the free to play

2363
01:50:45,279 --> 01:50:48,640
Diablo game. Sure, and then they're like, it's coming to

2364
01:50:48,680 --> 01:50:52,199
Diablo two. And Diablo two has not had a new

2365
01:50:52,239 --> 01:50:56,399
class since its expansion came out like two thousand and one.

2366
01:50:57,720 --> 01:51:01,399
You say actual Diablo, who I mean scared to the

2367
01:51:01,399 --> 01:51:03,520
remake that they made a few years back, which is

2368
01:51:03,560 --> 01:51:05,960
a great remake. And the remake has the original graphics

2369
01:51:06,000 --> 01:51:08,119
in there if you want, so, you know it's in

2370
01:51:08,159 --> 01:51:11,399
that they released it that day. This is out now.

2371
01:51:11,399 --> 01:51:13,039
I haven't had a chance to check it out yet

2372
01:51:13,039 --> 01:51:16,239
because I've been traveling. But the idea that Diablo two

2373
01:51:16,399 --> 01:51:20,720
got a new class and twenty twenty six, that is

2374
01:51:21,079 --> 01:51:24,399
so freaking cool to me. I like the newer Diabolos,

2375
01:51:24,439 --> 01:51:27,199
but I've never liked them nearly as much as Diablo two.

2376
01:51:27,199 --> 01:51:31,079
There's just a pace and a feel and a tone

2377
01:51:31,239 --> 01:51:34,920
of that game that I absolutely adore. I've been kind

2378
01:51:34,920 --> 01:51:36,960
of wanting to go back to it, and having this

2379
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:41,359
as an excuse. Oh my gosh, that's so exciting. Just

2380
01:51:41,359 --> 01:51:43,399
just adding new content like this to a Super Bowl

2381
01:51:43,399 --> 01:51:47,920
game is awesome. I can't wait to dive into this. Yeah,

2382
01:51:48,199 --> 01:51:50,600
that's really neat. I wonder like they're just saying people

2383
01:51:50,640 --> 01:51:53,000
still play that game all the time, we are still

2384
01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:54,560
selling it. This is a.

2385
01:51:54,560 --> 01:51:57,439
Speaker 4: Fun way to get people thinking about Diablo, regardless of

2386
01:51:57,479 --> 01:51:59,239
whatever Diablo they want to be thinking about.

2387
01:51:59,359 --> 01:52:01,840
Speaker 2: Very good. Yeah, and I know, I know the price

2388
01:52:01,880 --> 01:52:03,520
is high. It's like twenty five dollars. I don't know

2389
01:52:03,560 --> 01:52:05,720
what else that comes with, right, they're kind of trying

2390
01:52:05,720 --> 01:52:07,239
to they're trying to make It's not like it's like

2391
01:52:07,239 --> 01:52:09,800
an expansion. But aside from the new character, I don't

2392
01:52:09,840 --> 01:52:12,000
know what. It's not like there's a new act in

2393
01:52:12,000 --> 01:52:13,800
the game or saying that there's some quality of my

2394
01:52:13,800 --> 01:52:16,039
stuff that they added as well. I assume that's just

2395
01:52:16,119 --> 01:52:16,840
part of a patch.

2396
01:52:17,479 --> 01:52:19,920
Speaker 1: Mike, do you know what the state of Diablo Immortal

2397
01:52:20,239 --> 01:52:21,000
is or Immortals?

2398
01:52:21,239 --> 01:52:23,880
Speaker 2: No idea. I was just wondering about that, Like what's

2399
01:52:23,920 --> 01:52:26,720
going on with Diablo A Mortal. I'm think is it

2400
01:52:26,760 --> 01:52:30,399
a thing where it's still popular everywhere? Maybe it's still

2401
01:52:30,439 --> 01:52:33,960
really popular and like Asia or something. I have no idea. Really,

2402
01:52:34,079 --> 01:52:37,239
it's it's it's personally not a going concern, not that

2403
01:52:37,239 --> 01:52:40,319
that game was ever terrible, but especially once y'all before

2404
01:52:40,479 --> 01:52:42,279
was out, I'll just play that. If I want to

2405
01:52:42,279 --> 01:52:47,840
do a modern Diablo Last story here. Hideki Sado, who

2406
01:52:47,920 --> 01:52:51,079
was the visionary who shaped many of Sega's consoles, has died.

2407
01:52:51,680 --> 01:52:57,079
He was the former Sega president. He was basically integral

2408
01:52:57,119 --> 01:53:01,159
to designing all of their consoles, especially so I guess

2409
01:53:01,159 --> 01:53:04,399
the Dreamcast, but he was involved in the genesis everything.

2410
01:53:05,399 --> 01:53:08,319
Speaker 4: He recently died, and he was like when he was

2411
01:53:08,399 --> 01:53:10,439
designing the Dreamcast, said he wanted to do that because

2412
01:53:10,479 --> 01:53:12,960
he was obsessed with play and communication, so he included

2413
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:16,600
a modem as well as the Visual Memory Unit the VMU.

2414
01:53:16,720 --> 01:53:20,640
He's got quite a legacy, so wrestful trails to HITDECKI.

2415
01:53:20,319 --> 01:53:26,039
Speaker 2: Sato, Yeah, I loved the Sega consoles and Dreamcast especially

2416
01:53:26,119 --> 01:53:29,000
just has such a strong just look and features and

2417
01:53:29,000 --> 01:53:31,159
stuff I was doing with internet play in the VMU.

2418
01:53:31,359 --> 01:53:34,119
When I play a Dreamcast today and I have that

2419
01:53:34,239 --> 01:53:36,159
VMU in there and I see the little things happening

2420
01:53:36,159 --> 01:53:39,159
in the VMU, I still think that is so intimate.

2421
01:53:39,319 --> 01:53:42,439
It's so awesome. Yeah. So yeah, thank you. Thanking to

2422
01:53:42,520 --> 01:53:46,399
him for incredible work over the years. And happy trails. Yep.

2423
01:53:46,600 --> 01:53:49,239
Speaker 4: He retired in two thousand and eight and I got

2424
01:53:49,279 --> 01:53:51,159
to have quite a few years there just kind of

2425
01:53:51,239 --> 01:53:51,720
kick him back.

2426
01:53:51,760 --> 01:53:54,600
Speaker 2: He earned it all right. That does it for the news.

2427
01:53:54,720 --> 01:53:57,039
Jan Hennon. The showback over to you folks.

2428
01:53:56,760 --> 01:53:58,319
Speaker 1: Who were going to take a quick bricky break, and

2429
01:53:58,359 --> 01:54:01,439
we will be back with email and any YouTube superchants

2430
01:54:01,479 --> 01:54:02,039
if we got them.

2431
01:54:02,039 --> 01:54:03,359
Speaker 2: We'll see you on the other side.

2432
01:54:10,640 --> 01:54:14,359
Speaker 7: These are the emails for the shows.

2433
01:54:14,720 --> 01:54:18,279
Speaker 1: BombCast at Giant Bomb is the email address to send

2434
01:54:18,319 --> 01:54:22,119
your emails to. You can write in about any and everything.

2435
01:54:22,920 --> 01:54:25,239
Thanks to y'all for sending emails in. We've been getting

2436
01:54:25,319 --> 01:54:29,239
a bunch every week and I'm pleasantly surprised. It tickles

2437
01:54:29,319 --> 01:54:33,760
me in a very special Uh.

2438
01:54:33,880 --> 01:54:38,199
Speaker 2: I like it. We'll just say that.

2439
01:54:38,920 --> 01:54:42,920
Speaker 1: I can't say. I can't say Mike. First email comes

2440
01:54:42,920 --> 01:54:44,079
from Rob from Illinois.

2441
01:54:44,399 --> 01:54:44,920
Speaker 2: Uh.

2442
01:54:44,960 --> 01:54:47,439
Speaker 1: And it's funny that we brought up the Nintendo lawyers

2443
01:54:47,479 --> 01:54:50,159
because this may get them on the phone. But Jeff Grabb,

2444
01:54:50,159 --> 01:54:54,319
I feel like your expertise would help out Rob a lot. Hello,

2445
01:54:54,399 --> 01:54:58,520
Bomb Crew, first time writer, longtime listener. I run sports

2446
01:54:58,560 --> 01:55:02,359
psychology session for volleyball teams and would love to set

2447
01:55:02,439 --> 01:55:06,279
up four copies of Beach Spikers Nintendo GameCube with four

2448
01:55:06,319 --> 01:55:10,159
controllers each so that an entire team can run play

2449
01:55:10,359 --> 01:55:13,720
at any given time. Well, there are many volleyball games

2450
01:55:13,760 --> 01:55:16,600
out on the market, all of which I've tried. Beach

2451
01:55:16,720 --> 01:55:20,239
Spikers has just the right feel in cooperation for what

2452
01:55:20,319 --> 01:55:23,720
I want to do with these teams. So what would

2453
01:55:23,760 --> 01:55:25,720
be the best way for me to get this set

2454
01:55:25,800 --> 01:55:30,479
up going outside of procuring the actual hardware for GameCubes

2455
01:55:30,520 --> 01:55:33,079
four discs for controllers, I would love to consider this

2456
01:55:33,159 --> 01:55:36,800
as low cost as possible, the easiest to procure in

2457
01:55:36,880 --> 01:55:40,800
the States, and with as little Nintendo jail as possible.

2458
01:55:41,039 --> 01:55:43,640
Thanks for keeping keeping up the great ork fuck Ice

2459
01:55:43,920 --> 01:55:45,319
Rob from Illinois.

2460
01:55:46,159 --> 01:55:49,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so for GameCube, you're gonna be pretty good

2461
01:55:49,800 --> 01:55:54,960
emulating that with Dolphin, and you know, it's still gonna

2462
01:55:54,960 --> 01:55:58,000
get pretty expensive, like having to get all those controllers.

2463
01:55:58,039 --> 01:56:01,000
But I would just recommend going to a secondhand shop,

2464
01:56:01,479 --> 01:56:05,760
maybe getting Xbox three sixty controllers even like those would

2465
01:56:05,800 --> 01:56:07,640
be fine. You just plug the plug those.

2466
01:56:07,439 --> 01:56:11,439
Speaker 3: In pretty cheap like GameCube like wired USB controllers that

2467
01:56:11,479 --> 01:56:14,119
you can buy like a two or they suck.

2468
01:56:14,399 --> 01:56:16,680
Speaker 2: Right, they're super cheap sucks.

2469
01:56:16,840 --> 01:56:19,199
Speaker 4: But maybe you could try to try those out and

2470
01:56:19,239 --> 01:56:20,800
see how you feel. Maybe get one of them and

2471
01:56:20,840 --> 01:56:22,920
see if they, like will hold up to a lot

2472
01:56:22,960 --> 01:56:26,399
of use. But yeah, I mean, go and get like

2473
01:56:26,479 --> 01:56:29,560
old laptops and just get dolphins set up on there.

2474
01:56:30,039 --> 01:56:32,399
Speaker 2: I think it'll be fine. You could also get retro

2475
01:56:32,479 --> 01:56:35,079
pie I bet, oh yeah, those.

2476
01:56:35,800 --> 01:56:38,680
Speaker 4: I bet a raspberry pie can do a dolphin just fine,

2477
01:56:38,720 --> 01:56:41,840
like a modern raspberry pie. And those used to be

2478
01:56:41,880 --> 01:56:43,640
like thirty five bucks. I bet they're not much more

2479
01:56:43,680 --> 01:56:45,680
than that these days, even for like a higher end one,

2480
01:56:45,720 --> 01:56:48,319
although those have ram as well, so who knows what's happening.

2481
01:56:49,640 --> 01:56:51,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so maybe get a bunch of those and then

2482
01:56:51,760 --> 01:56:54,640
a bunch of second hand controllers and go that route.

2483
01:56:54,760 --> 01:56:57,119
Like that's probably the cheapest way to do it. I'll

2484
01:56:57,199 --> 01:56:59,000
being able to have it set up permanently and with

2485
01:56:59,039 --> 01:57:00,880
a bunch of controllers in all that. Man, I never

2486
01:57:00,880 --> 01:57:03,359
played beef spikers. I don't know. It just looked. I

2487
01:57:03,359 --> 01:57:05,479
don't have it. Uh. I kind of want to think.

2488
01:57:05,760 --> 01:57:08,359
There's only one volleyball game from that generation that I played.

2489
01:57:08,439 --> 01:57:09,479
I don't have to say which one.

2490
01:57:17,159 --> 01:57:19,560
Speaker 1: There you go, Rob, Thank you for the advice, grub,

2491
01:57:20,680 --> 01:57:24,319
and thank you Mike Manatti for further insight into your brain.

2492
01:57:24,439 --> 01:57:28,560
Speaker 2: I'll choke the chicken. Okay, all right, I heard you.

2493
01:57:28,600 --> 01:57:31,560
I heard God, I heard you got it Uh.

2494
01:57:32,199 --> 01:57:36,359
Speaker 1: Next email comes from perhaps one of my favorite emailer

2513
01:58:54,479 --> 01:58:55,439
he's scary.

2514
01:58:55,920 --> 01:58:58,319

2516
01:59:00,399 --> 01:59:04,159
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, oh g Now I wonder why he has

2517
01:59:04,239 --> 01:59:09,760
so much cash in his wallet anyway, yawibunka. Right, So hello,

2518
01:59:09,800 --> 01:59:12,319
Giant Bomb. I've recently become a Premium member and have

2519
01:59:12,520 --> 01:59:15,319
received a copy of Sectory.

2520
01:59:14,880 --> 01:59:16,560
Speaker 2: For my troubles and what do you know?

2521
01:59:17,000 --> 01:59:20,520
Speaker 1: But I love it just like you, but just like

2522
01:59:20,560 --> 01:59:25,000
you all, but unfortunately I'm quite shit at it. So

2523
01:59:25,079 --> 01:59:27,600
I was hoping you could all share some gamer tips

2524
01:59:27,640 --> 01:59:31,640
and tricks for us desperately poor players of Sectory. Thank

2525
01:59:31,680 --> 01:59:34,359
you for the show each week, yallibunka.

2526
01:59:33,800 --> 01:59:36,079
Speaker 3: I mean without going to because there's way like deep

2527
01:59:36,159 --> 01:59:38,239
level strats stuff like that about keeping strike combos and

2528
01:59:38,239 --> 01:59:40,920
stuff going. I think the most important thing to say,

2529
01:59:41,159 --> 01:59:43,720
and it's important to say it because Jacob Geller, who

2530
01:59:43,800 --> 01:59:46,119
was very good at this and better than us of

2531
01:59:46,119 --> 01:59:48,479
this game, didn't know this very basic thing. So if

2532
01:59:48,479 --> 01:59:51,239
he didn't know it, you definitely need to know it.

2533
01:59:51,239 --> 01:59:54,600
It is, if you strike into a token, any token,

2534
01:59:54,760 --> 01:59:57,520
upgrade token, one of the like bomb things whatever, you

2535
01:59:57,600 --> 02:00:00,880
instantly refill your strike meter. So do not ever just

2536
02:00:01,039 --> 02:00:03,199
run in to upgrade token. If you can help it.

2537
02:00:03,199 --> 02:00:05,319
Obviously if it's recharging, you don't really have a choice,

2538
02:00:05,600 --> 02:00:07,760
but you want to strike into every token and that'll

2539
02:00:07,800 --> 02:00:10,199
recharge it. And then once you get that down, then

2540
02:00:10,199 --> 02:00:12,119
you can start looking into extending your strike combos if

2541
02:00:12,159 --> 02:00:13,760
you're going for real score hunt type stuff.

2542
02:00:14,960 --> 02:00:16,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it would like get to a point

2543
02:00:16,960 --> 02:00:21,000
where you understand what makes you more survivable. So, like

2544
02:00:21,479 --> 02:00:23,920
drones are better than you think they are because they

2545
02:00:23,960 --> 02:00:27,199
absorb hits and they like can shoot it the little

2546
02:00:27,199 --> 02:00:28,840
things that are coming at you that you might not see.

2547
02:00:28,880 --> 02:00:31,239
So you could kind of like pull your vision out

2548
02:00:31,239 --> 02:00:33,359
a little bit more and have a slightly larger cone

2549
02:00:33,359 --> 02:00:35,479
you could pay attention to, which is huge in the

2550
02:00:35,520 --> 02:00:39,000
game actually, And really it's about getting past that first

2551
02:00:39,039 --> 02:00:41,239
stage of the game where it's at its hardest because

2552
02:00:41,239 --> 02:00:44,720
you have the least capabilities with your ship. So try

2553
02:00:44,720 --> 02:00:46,600
a bunch of different builds, try a bunch of different

2554
02:00:46,880 --> 02:00:49,920
card stacks and decks, and kind of just get to

2555
02:00:49,920 --> 02:00:51,479
a point where you are at the end of the

2556
02:00:51,479 --> 02:00:53,359
game and you feel like I could kind of keep

2557
02:00:53,399 --> 02:00:55,680
flying here without getting hit, but that takes a while.

2558
02:00:56,880 --> 02:01:01,039
Speaker 1: Fantastic. Thank you for the tips. S Tory will wind

2559
02:01:01,159 --> 02:01:04,199
up on every single episode of this podcast.

2560
02:01:04,319 --> 02:01:06,920
Speaker 2: For number twelve of the World, I did be Jacob

2561
02:01:06,960 --> 02:01:11,199
Galler against Jesus. I beat him by like two thousand points. Dan,

2562
02:01:11,279 --> 02:01:12,279
I'm like right there. Good.

2563
02:01:12,520 --> 02:01:15,319
Speaker 3: That feels even crazy. Yes, it's amazing.

2564
02:01:16,199 --> 02:01:18,600
Speaker 1: I just saw my lights flicker and there's a little

2565
02:01:18,600 --> 02:01:21,239
bit of a rainstorm happening here in San Francisco. So

2566
02:01:21,399 --> 02:01:23,720
I just had to delete a good chunk of these

2567
02:01:23,760 --> 02:01:27,000
emails because we got so many gang So I'm gonna

2568
02:01:27,039 --> 02:01:31,279
continue going down the line. I didn't write this emailer down.

2569
02:01:31,319 --> 02:01:34,920
But for folks watching the Olympics, are the Blade Angels

2570
02:01:34,960 --> 02:01:38,079
really cool? Fucking cool? They seem cool? Yes they are.

2571
02:01:38,439 --> 02:01:40,640
Speaker 2: I mean they're the Blade Angels. Are they as cool?

2572
02:01:40,640 --> 02:01:42,720
What are those two people in Mighty Ducks two? The

2573
02:01:43,600 --> 02:01:48,319
two bros as cool as the Bash Bros? Very close?

2574
02:01:48,439 --> 02:01:53,000
Speaker 1: I shouts out to Oakland's own Alyssa lou U fucking

2575
02:01:53,199 --> 02:01:55,279
tearing up the ice skating rink.

2576
02:01:55,880 --> 02:01:56,920
Speaker 2: Wonderful performance.

2577
02:01:57,359 --> 02:02:01,239
Speaker 1: All right, moving along, Jonathan writes in Dudes, I'm about

2578
02:02:01,239 --> 02:02:03,359
to walk into a meeting with my boss and pitch

2579
02:02:03,439 --> 02:02:06,840
the idea of working remotely in Canada. I live and

2580
02:02:06,880 --> 02:02:10,079
work in Texas right now, I'm very much a bundle

2581
02:02:10,079 --> 02:02:12,000
of nerves and I can't get that song out of

2582
02:02:12,000 --> 02:02:14,079
my head. I think the song is helping. I'll let

2583
02:02:14,119 --> 02:02:15,439
you guys know how it goes.

2584
02:02:15,399 --> 02:02:24,479
Speaker 2: Jonathan writes in later, Guys, it didn't go well. I like,

2585
02:02:24,640 --> 02:02:26,560
I bet that doesn't work out.

2586
02:02:26,840 --> 02:02:29,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, somehow, you're Texas based company.

2587
02:02:31,159 --> 02:02:35,479
Speaker 4: You can just do it, dude, Just like say, I

2588
02:02:35,520 --> 02:02:37,399
am in Canada, Now what are you gonna do? And

2589
02:02:37,399 --> 02:02:37,760
then if.

2590
02:02:39,960 --> 02:02:41,760
Speaker 2: I bet they won't, I bet they won't.

2591
02:02:41,840 --> 02:02:45,439
Speaker 3: Actually they just come to Minnesota. We'd rather it's basically

2592
02:02:45,439 --> 02:02:46,880
Canada here in Minnesota, just coming here.

2593
02:02:47,199 --> 02:02:49,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there there you go.

2594
02:02:49,760 --> 02:02:52,399
Speaker 1: I'm leaving the state one way or another. Wish me luck, Jonathan,

2595
02:02:52,560 --> 02:02:53,079
You wish you well.

2596
02:02:53,159 --> 02:02:53,319
Speaker 2: Joe.

2597
02:02:53,359 --> 02:02:55,399
Speaker 3: By the way, I already love Canada. A lot of

2598
02:02:55,439 --> 02:02:59,279
our best comedians and wrestlers come from Canada. And now

2599
02:02:59,399 --> 02:03:01,920
talking about your band the show, which that movie is

2600
02:03:02,560 --> 02:03:03,800
aggressively Canadian.

2601
02:03:03,960 --> 02:03:08,159
Speaker 2: It's just like Man Toronto specifically. Yeah, like there are

2602
02:03:08,159 --> 02:03:11,159
a bunch of like curtling cheaters over there. I don't

2603
02:03:11,159 --> 02:03:11,560
know about that.

2604
02:03:12,359 --> 02:03:15,600
Speaker 4: There are bad Canadians, it's true, but they exist, best

2605
02:03:15,640 --> 02:03:19,600
of them. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, they're mostly like right wing grifters.

2606
02:03:19,640 --> 02:03:23,840
Speaker 5: But yes, yeah, what do you mean, Jeff Grubb?

2607
02:03:27,000 --> 02:03:30,520
Speaker 1: That's good, that's really good. Mitch from Michigan. Right, so

2608
02:03:30,960 --> 02:03:34,640
I should say Michigan, Hey, I always watch listen to

2609
02:03:34,720 --> 02:03:38,680
all your videos and podcasts at two times speed. Bundle

2610
02:03:38,720 --> 02:03:41,079
of Nerves is a better song at two times speed.

2611
02:03:41,399 --> 02:03:44,359
I'm not good, but significantly better. Does anyone a GB

2612
02:03:44,680 --> 02:03:47,399
watch slash listen to things on higher speed than normal?

2613
02:03:47,640 --> 02:03:49,439
I started with audio books and it's just kind of

2614
02:03:49,520 --> 02:03:52,159
led over to everything to the point where now I hate,

2615
02:03:52,560 --> 02:03:54,880
hate it when anything doesn't have some kind of speed

2616
02:03:54,960 --> 02:03:56,680
option with love, Mitch from Michigan.

2617
02:03:56,720 --> 02:03:58,560
Speaker 3: I'm full was it David Lynch doing the like you're

2618
02:03:58,560 --> 02:04:00,800
gonna watch a movie on your fucking phone? Like I

2619
02:04:00,840 --> 02:04:03,119
am full on? Like you don't mess with that stuff.

2620
02:04:03,159 --> 02:04:07,640
Things are for for podcasts though, Yeah you're wrong, he doesn't, right,

2621
02:04:07,680 --> 02:04:12,720
But that's about and I think I have a thing

2622
02:04:12,760 --> 02:04:15,239
on that makes it so it automatically snips out like breaks.

2623
02:04:15,239 --> 02:04:17,119
If there's a lot of breaking, it's like a smart

2624
02:04:17,640 --> 02:04:18,720
thing or something which.

2625
02:04:18,560 --> 02:04:20,279
Speaker 5: Definitely flies in the face of what you're.

2626
02:04:20,479 --> 02:04:23,319
Speaker 3: There's not a movie, it's some fellows talking about wrestling.

2627
02:04:23,399 --> 02:04:25,760
Speaker 2: Of course, that's why it's okay, but he's yeah, but

2628
02:04:25,800 --> 02:04:28,359
he did it to be clear, this email or didn't

2629
02:04:28,359 --> 02:04:29,359
talk about movies.

2630
02:04:31,319 --> 02:04:35,399
Speaker 3: Yes, so I think about like.

2631
02:04:35,640 --> 02:04:38,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, but no, no one's doing that the movies didn't.

2632
02:04:40,640 --> 02:04:42,520
Speaker 4: I think I think they did it for like a

2633
02:04:42,640 --> 02:04:44,560
very specific like use case, but it's not for what

2634
02:04:44,560 --> 02:04:49,560
people thought it was. But like, yeah, I have started

2635
02:04:49,600 --> 02:04:52,920
doing this, and I've discovered that for like audio books

2636
02:04:52,960 --> 02:04:56,640
and for podcasts and YouTube videos, if I increase the speed,

2637
02:04:56,680 --> 02:05:00,560
it's easier for me to follow. I'm really yeah, it's like, oh,

2638
02:05:00,560 --> 02:05:02,479
I was having trouble because people are taking a long

2639
02:05:02,520 --> 02:05:03,399
time to get their point out.

2640
02:05:03,439 --> 02:05:05,399
Speaker 2: So I'm sure I'm guilty of on this podcast.

2641
02:05:05,640 --> 02:05:07,119
Speaker 4: So it's like when I sped up the speed, I

2642
02:05:07,119 --> 02:05:09,119
could like get to their next point faster, and it

2643
02:05:09,159 --> 02:05:11,199
all began to like web together my brain a little

2644
02:05:11,199 --> 02:05:11,680
bit easier.

2645
02:05:11,920 --> 02:05:16,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's okay for audiobooks too. Uh you know,

2646
02:05:16,279 --> 02:05:17,039
I think it's okay.

2647
02:05:17,239 --> 02:05:18,960
Speaker 2: I don't go like two x for audiobooks.

2648
02:05:19,239 --> 02:05:21,760
Speaker 5: No, that seems a little too quick, maybe like one

2649
02:05:21,800 --> 02:05:23,319
point five or one five.

2650
02:05:23,439 --> 02:05:25,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think one point seven five. Yeah.

2651
02:05:25,920 --> 02:05:28,560
Speaker 5: If I'm if I'm watching like an instructional YouTube video,

2652
02:05:28,640 --> 02:05:31,239
like a fucking course I'm putting that on two X.

2653
02:05:31,279 --> 02:05:32,039
Are you kidding me?

2654
02:05:32,279 --> 02:05:35,279
Speaker 2: Really? Because like, I'm so skeptical because like a lot

2655
02:05:35,279 --> 02:05:37,199
of my audio books are kind of like I like

2656
02:05:37,199 --> 02:05:40,199
my current ones about like the history of language families,

2657
02:05:40,279 --> 02:05:42,520
and I feel like it's it's already hard enough to

2658
02:05:42,560 --> 02:05:45,079
absorb this information. I like, I speed it up. I'm

2659
02:05:45,159 --> 02:05:47,960
just gonna it's everyone's gonna be different on that stuff. Yeah,

2660
02:05:48,319 --> 02:05:50,439
there's a lot of things. I think it's ADHD's a

2661
02:05:50,439 --> 02:05:52,079
big part of it. Like that helps me. I want

2662
02:05:52,079 --> 02:05:53,760
to I want to mess with this guy who listens

2663
02:05:53,800 --> 02:05:56,640
to me at two time speed and talk normal.

2664
02:05:56,720 --> 02:06:00,279
Speaker 5: Oh my god, sounds would be.

2665
02:06:01,199 --> 02:06:13,079
Speaker 2: Kind of terfied to hear what my sounds like at

2666
02:06:13,479 --> 02:06:22,520
two time speed. Someone on the inter net was mean

2667
02:06:22,960 --> 02:06:30,239
about my voice again the other day and screwed up.

2668
02:06:30,279 --> 02:06:30,960
Speaker 3: Slow down.

2669
02:06:31,640 --> 02:06:40,880
Speaker 2: I think that it would become more pitchy at higher speed. Still,

2670
02:06:41,520 --> 02:06:42,479
like you're doing it.

2671
02:06:42,439 --> 02:06:52,479
Speaker 3: Wrong him the right way back, Lark, you.

2672
02:06:51,239 --> 02:06:53,600
Speaker 2: Do discords kind.

2673
02:06:53,439 --> 02:07:04,439
Speaker 7: Of gunderstand you like Sacon, he said, become sloth from

2674
02:07:04,880 --> 02:07:07,359
zoo to we're not just doing.

2675
02:07:07,159 --> 02:07:09,119
Speaker 2: The impressions of that. I thought, well, that's what we

2676
02:07:09,119 --> 02:07:17,640
were doing, only back there sounded like that to the

2677
02:07:17,640 --> 02:07:19,239
Opisode'm gona talk really fast, and so it's gonna be

2678
02:07:19,279 --> 02:07:21,479
like four times speed. Oh my god, but he's.

2679
02:07:21,359 --> 02:07:25,680
Speaker 3: Doing that, tell us a brisket joke. Slow, no, stop to.

2680
02:07:28,920 --> 02:07:31,479
Speaker 2: You know what. I'm actually got a cameo request to

2681
02:07:31,520 --> 02:07:33,359
do that one again, and they wanted me to work

2682
02:07:33,439 --> 02:07:37,479
bacon bacon's. Remember bacon bacons.

2683
02:07:39,039 --> 02:07:42,199
Speaker 5: I've noticed you ever watched the I forget what the

2684
02:07:42,319 --> 02:07:46,640
what it's called. But instead of reading a sentence, what

2685
02:07:46,800 --> 02:07:48,239
was it what.

2686
02:07:48,119 --> 02:07:50,439
Speaker 2: It's called, it's called a TV that's a radio.

2687
02:07:51,159 --> 02:07:53,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, instead of reading a sentence, if I see the

2688
02:07:53,399 --> 02:07:57,560
words individually blasted at my face, I can read that

2689
02:07:57,960 --> 02:07:59,840
comprehend quicker.

2690
02:08:00,119 --> 02:08:00,319
Speaker 2: Same.

2691
02:08:00,399 --> 02:08:02,159
Speaker 4: Yes, I was like surprised by that, but it's like

2692
02:08:02,159 --> 02:08:04,359
they could you blast it like a really high.

2693
02:08:06,399 --> 02:08:09,680
Speaker 1: I would one hundred percent read a full book that way.

2694
02:08:09,880 --> 02:08:11,239
Speaker 5: I think it has to do with like the way

2695
02:08:11,279 --> 02:08:13,199
you memorize what words look.

2696
02:08:13,159 --> 02:08:16,239
Speaker 2: Like shah, like the whole word memorization or recognition.

2697
02:08:16,439 --> 02:08:19,159
Speaker 3: J Jenna, I'm finally seeing Marty Supreme tonight. Should I

2698
02:08:19,199 --> 02:08:20,920
go like four time speed with that? Would that help?

2699
02:08:21,359 --> 02:08:27,399
Speaker 2: Oh? No, Dan, your heart will explode. I want that.

2700
02:08:28,399 --> 02:08:30,640
I'm going to watch that stressful movie about the mom

2701
02:08:30,680 --> 02:08:32,560
with the dying daughter. You were talking about the fire

2702
02:08:32,640 --> 02:08:33,800
escape at two time speed.

2703
02:08:34,479 --> 02:08:38,279
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know what that would do to that movie.

2704
02:08:39,439 --> 02:08:39,840
Speaker 2: All right?

2705
02:08:39,920 --> 02:08:46,359
Speaker 1: Moving on with emails uh K train from uh D.

2706
02:08:46,399 --> 02:08:49,199
I don't know where that is, Hey bomb a Stein's

2707
02:08:49,640 --> 02:08:52,680
how do you guys prepare your oatmeal? Use milk or

2708
02:08:52,880 --> 02:08:54,840

Speaker 2: Also?

2710
02:08:55,479 --> 02:08:58,640

2711
02:08:58,720 --> 02:08:59,600
Love the show much love.

2712
02:09:00,039 --> 02:09:02,680
Speaker 2: I do love that. That's correct. I use I use them,

you know.

2714
02:09:03,600 --> 02:09:05,439
Speaker 3: I think my favorite is the one I had this morning,

2715
02:09:05,439 --> 02:09:09,359
which was the Fruity Cereal flavor of oats overnight code.

2716
02:09:09,079 --> 02:09:11,359
Speaker 2: In the chat, folks code in the chat. Use the

2717
02:09:11,359 --> 02:09:12,520
oats code, Folks.

2718
02:09:12,239 --> 02:09:15,760
Speaker 3: There fruity Cereal. It was like fruity pebbles and oatmeal

2719
02:09:15,800 --> 02:09:18,239
formers delicious. I had cookies and cream yesterday. Can you

2720
02:09:18,239 --> 02:09:19,359
believe it? They made it possible?

2721
02:09:21,239 --> 02:09:23,720
Speaker 2: So gross? That one is cookies and cream.

2722
02:09:23,800 --> 02:09:25,079
Speaker 3: It's one of the highest rated ones. He's got like

2723
02:09:25,079 --> 02:09:29,039
a four point eight three average Overnight's code.

2724
02:09:29,039 --> 02:09:29,960
Speaker 2: I appreciate.

2725
02:09:32,199 --> 02:09:35,800
Speaker 5: My code gives you more, gives you more receipts. Not true, And.

2726
02:09:37,000 --> 02:09:39,840
Speaker 3: I got my innovator steel shaker from Oats overnight. For

2727
02:09:39,840 --> 02:09:42,399
getting so many referrals, they send you an Innovator steel

2728
02:09:42,560 --> 02:09:43,279
oats shaker.

2729
02:09:43,920 --> 02:09:44,560
Speaker 2: It's wow.

2730
02:09:44,800 --> 02:09:51,399
Speaker 3: It's after two shakes and I'm back to my plastic. Wow,

2731
02:09:51,640 --> 02:09:53,560
it gets all cry honesty.

2732
02:09:54,039 --> 02:09:57,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, what was the rating for those cookies and cream oats?

2733
02:09:57,840 --> 02:09:59,000
Speaker 3: I thought it was like a four point eight three

2734
02:09:59,079 --> 02:10:00,960
or some because I sort by not as.

2735
02:10:00,800 --> 02:10:13,239
Speaker 2: Good as Metroit Prime for that was like a beautiful.

2736
02:10:14,560 --> 02:10:18,279
Speaker 5: One Yes, what a beautiful one timer right there. I'm

2737
02:10:18,279 --> 02:10:23,680
so happy, tactile baby. That's good, Mike, I saw and

2738
02:10:23,720 --> 02:10:25,319
I just sent everything I.

2739
02:10:25,279 --> 02:10:27,800
Speaker 2: Had the audience back after that slow reading, I don't

2740
02:10:27,800 --> 02:10:29,840
think they liked it. They did, like, I don't think

2741
02:10:29,840 --> 02:10:30,600
they can.

2742
02:10:30,640 --> 02:10:33,680
Speaker 3: We change our rating system to a thousand point systems

2743
02:10:35,520 --> 02:10:36,720
point eight three to a game.

2744
02:10:37,880 --> 02:10:41,319
Speaker 5: Let's adopt the Olympic scale. Yeah, there we go of

2745
02:10:41,479 --> 02:10:45,000
speed skating. U No, I think uh. I think the

2746
02:10:47,000 --> 02:10:51,560
fruity serial one is uh deed, Tierra, I am with

2747
02:10:51,600 --> 02:10:53,880
you on cookies and cream cinnamon roll.

2748
02:10:54,000 --> 02:10:54,880
Speaker 3: Those are two favorites.

2749
02:10:54,920 --> 02:10:58,520
Speaker 5: Those are like cookie dough too, I thought. I thought, yeah,

2750
02:10:59,439 --> 02:11:03,319
open line the better code. My coat also looks better.

2751
02:11:05,439 --> 02:11:07,399
Speaker 3: With an Innovator steel shaker. And he doesn't want that

2752
02:11:07,399 --> 02:11:07,840
they're bad.

2753
02:11:09,600 --> 02:11:15,560
Speaker 2: It's more attractive because I will eat unsweetened oat meal

2754
02:11:15,880 --> 02:11:18,680
with an egg a fried egg on it sometimes.

2755
02:11:18,960 --> 02:11:22,800
Speaker 1: Oh wait what yeah, well, y'all know me. I don't

2756
02:11:22,840 --> 02:11:28,079

2757
02:11:28,079 --> 02:11:30,079
I like that. I like your style.

2758
02:11:30,359 --> 02:11:33,640
Speaker 5: Wait, so you're putting a fried egg on top of

2759
02:11:33,840 --> 02:11:35,800
complete raw dog oatmeal.

2760
02:11:36,439 --> 02:11:41,840
Speaker 1: R throwing that bad boy, and you're like a chef

2761
02:11:41,880 --> 02:11:43,640
guy and you're running pretend.

2762
02:11:43,840 --> 02:11:45,520
Speaker 3: Can you just I'm just curious because I've never known

2763
02:11:45,560 --> 02:11:47,920
anyone that's tried this and you're running. Now, can you

2764
02:11:48,000 --> 02:11:49,880
just wake up and do the Rocky style once and

2765
02:11:49,960 --> 02:11:53,159
let me know how it goes. On a podcast, it

2766
02:11:53,039 --> 02:11:53,600
was like four.

2767
02:11:53,520 --> 02:11:56,520
Speaker 2: Eggs, try one.

2768
02:11:56,800 --> 02:11:58,600
Speaker 3: You gotta see the scene. You gotta make it exactly

2769
02:11:58,600 --> 02:11:59,880
like the scene. I think it's dark when he wakes

2770
02:11:59,920 --> 02:12:01,439
up and he's like, I want to fucking get up

2771
02:12:01,439 --> 02:12:03,199
and run, and then it's like four eggs or something.

2772
02:12:03,239 --> 02:12:05,319
He chugs it and go So I want to hear

2773
02:12:05,319 --> 02:12:05,840
how that goes.

2774
02:12:06,880 --> 02:12:08,880
Speaker 1: Jason Finelli, I'm just going to sleep over at the

2775
02:12:08,880 --> 02:12:14,119
house real quick, just so I can reenact the whole scene. Okay, okay,

2776
02:12:14,239 --> 02:12:17,439
the impossible pivot to a very serious email. This comes

2777
02:12:17,479 --> 02:12:21,399
from John from Queens, New York Highdooters. I've been going

2778
02:12:21,399 --> 02:12:23,800
through a rough patch recently as my mom passed away

2779
02:12:24,039 --> 02:12:27,079
shortly before Christmas. As I was writing her eulogy, I

2780
02:12:27,119 --> 02:12:29,720
really came to appreciate that she was one. She was

2781
02:12:29,760 --> 02:12:32,840
the one that got me into video games growing up.

2782
02:12:33,039 --> 02:12:36,720
My mom had a Genesis SNS and a game Boy.

2783
02:12:36,880 --> 02:12:39,039
She loved the classic two D Mario and Sonic games,

2784
02:12:39,199 --> 02:12:41,359
and we would play those together or take turns with

2785
02:12:41,439 --> 02:12:43,279
a game Boy so we could try to beat each

2786
02:12:43,319 --> 02:12:46,279
other's high score in Tetris. Even if she tapped out

2787
02:12:46,319 --> 02:12:49,960
after the sixteen era sixteen bit era, she remained supportive

2788
02:12:50,000 --> 02:12:51,800
of my love of gaming, and I'll always be thankful

2789
02:12:51,840 --> 02:12:54,239
for how cool that was. My question for you all

2790
02:12:54,479 --> 02:12:56,880
is what role did your parents play in your early gaming?

2791
02:12:57,000 --> 02:12:59,960
Did they play games themselves, have a curiosity about your home,

2792
02:13:00,600 --> 02:13:02,920
or just leave you in peace while you caught your

2793
02:13:02,960 --> 02:13:05,920
Pokemon pokemons in the back seat of the car ps.

2794
02:13:06,039 --> 02:13:08,000
Thanks for all you do on the podcast, for being

2795
02:13:08,079 --> 02:13:10,960
friendly voices in my ear when I needed them the most.

2796
02:13:11,119 --> 02:13:14,159
John and Queens New York. First off, sorry for your

2797
02:13:14,239 --> 02:13:18,319
loss Uh, absolutely, yeah, but you know, that's that's great

2798
02:13:18,319 --> 02:13:21,479
that you have those memories. My parents didn't really play games.

2799
02:13:21,520 --> 02:13:24,439
Speaker 2: I think my older brother remembers one we got the

2800
02:13:24,520 --> 02:13:27,039
ness r My dad bought it, brought it over. He

2801
02:13:27,119 --> 02:13:29,600
showed them like how to like run and Mario, and

2802
02:13:29,600 --> 02:13:32,359
maybe played golf once and that was it. Uh. In fact,

2803
02:13:32,399 --> 02:13:34,640
in general, when I was young, it was very rare

2804
02:13:34,920 --> 02:13:38,239
for me to come across adults in general who are

2805
02:13:38,239 --> 02:13:40,239
playing games. It was still very much these are the

2806
02:13:40,279 --> 02:13:42,439
toys for the kids, and that's what they're going to do. Well,

2807
02:13:42,720 --> 02:13:46,479
we play trivial pursuitter poker in the den.

2808
02:13:46,239 --> 02:13:49,159
Speaker 3: My dad actually had a pretty big influence early on

2809
02:13:49,279 --> 02:13:51,720
him and my stepdad actually because my early before I

2810
02:13:52,000 --> 02:13:53,880
was probably like three or so years old, and I

2811
02:13:53,880 --> 02:13:56,319
remember watching my dad and my stepdad playing RBI baseball

2812
02:13:56,359 --> 02:13:59,119
against each other all the time. Uh and even been

2813
02:13:59,119 --> 02:14:01,319
backlarer you running them myth again. Yes, that's right. They

2814
02:14:01,640 --> 02:14:05,560
lived together, and I just remember my dad. My dad

2815
02:14:05,560 --> 02:14:08,319
would get so mad because whenever he was winning, my

2816
02:14:08,439 --> 02:14:10,319
stepdad would just be like, oh, the computer likes you better.

2817
02:14:10,399 --> 02:14:14,000
The computer likes you better, and just made my dad furious.

2818
02:14:14,159 --> 02:14:15,479
And then once my stepdad moved.

2819
02:14:15,520 --> 02:14:16,239
Speaker 2: I understand.

2820
02:14:16,239 --> 02:14:18,279
Speaker 3: Once my stepdad moved in with my mom and I

2821
02:14:18,319 --> 02:14:20,520
went to dad's place, I was old enough to play

2822
02:14:20,520 --> 02:14:22,800
games with them, so, like Mario Kart was huge. You know,

2823
02:14:22,800 --> 02:14:25,000
I got the Superintendo, so we played Mario Kart together

2824
02:14:25,039 --> 02:14:27,399
all the time. He loved Star Fox. Like he worked

2825
02:14:27,399 --> 02:14:29,199
at the grocery store, and he would time his brakes

2826
02:14:29,199 --> 02:14:31,079
to like he could drive home real quick and do

2827
02:14:31,119 --> 02:14:32,880
a full Grand Prix with me and then drive back

2828
02:14:32,880 --> 02:14:35,560
to the grocery store in time like during the left. Yeah, yeah,

2829
02:14:35,720 --> 02:14:37,199
cick to the past. We both liked a lot. And

2830
02:14:37,239 --> 02:14:40,119
then back at Mom's place, my stepdad, him and I

2831
02:14:40,159 --> 02:14:42,920
really connected on video games. The Soul Caliber Twist, the

2832
02:14:42,920 --> 02:14:46,000
Middle two Command of Conquer GoldenEye. That's when I built

2833
02:14:46,039 --> 02:14:48,319
like a cardboard divider for the screen, so it's like

2834
02:14:48,520 --> 02:14:49,800
I could flow it up and I put a little

2835
02:14:49,800 --> 02:14:51,640
bilker on the side. So I would lay on the

2836
02:14:51,640 --> 02:14:54,119
ground looking at the bottom screen for Golden Eye, and

2837
02:14:54,119 --> 02:14:56,119
he would sit up in a lawn chair above there,

2838
02:14:56,159 --> 02:14:58,000
and we would do like we couldn't see each other's screens.

2839
02:14:58,039 --> 02:14:59,560
So yeah, I have a lot of good memories with

2840
02:14:59,600 --> 02:15:01,199
both dad and Kala's dad.

2841
02:15:02,960 --> 02:15:07,359
Speaker 4: I think my uh my dad only ever played Stealth

2842
02:15:07,560 --> 02:15:10,000
at F for the ne E S, which is a

2843
02:15:10,159 --> 02:15:14,920
realistic flight city, right, yeah, the realistic flight simulator based

2844
02:15:14,960 --> 02:15:18,119
on the F one one seven, a stealth bomber.

2845
02:15:18,119 --> 02:15:19,960
Speaker 2: Which of course he was he was obsessed with, which

2846
02:15:20,000 --> 02:15:21,600
I yeah, I get it. Uh.

2847
02:15:21,640 --> 02:15:24,920
Speaker 4: And we played that game and every single time we

2848
02:15:24,960 --> 02:15:27,920
would take off, we would fly, and then it would

2849
02:15:27,920 --> 02:15:30,359
come time to land, and we never got that fun

2850
02:15:31,239 --> 02:15:33,920
once once in years of trying.

2851
02:15:33,920 --> 02:15:35,239
Speaker 2: It's not like we played it for a week and

2852
02:15:35,239 --> 02:15:38,319
put it down. We tried over and over again. Uh. Yeah,

2853
02:15:38,319 --> 02:15:39,800
that's one where I'm like, oh, I should go back

2854
02:15:39,800 --> 02:15:41,720
to that now and see what's the mount Rushmore of

2855
02:15:41,880 --> 02:15:46,359
nys Dad games like it's one's up there? Yeah, and

2856
02:15:46,680 --> 02:15:54,239
Vegas Dreams. Yeah, okay, maybe we'll fortune for any Uh. Yeah.

2857
02:15:54,279 --> 02:15:56,159
Speaker 1: My folks didn't really get into games. But I had

2858
02:15:56,159 --> 02:15:59,239
two uncles for sure that like really shepherd me through,

2859
02:15:59,319 --> 02:16:01,560
Like I had a un that showed me the Sega

2860
02:16:01,640 --> 02:16:04,760
Genesis and then another uncle that bought me my first

2861
02:16:04,760 --> 02:16:08,239
PS one that he then commandeered after a while to

2862
02:16:08,279 --> 02:16:14,000
go play one of those helicopter games Strike I think

2863
02:16:14,000 --> 02:16:17,960
it was Urban Strike. Yeah, yeah, all right, shouts out

2864
02:16:18,000 --> 02:16:20,800
to you John again sorry for your lost but shouts

2865
02:16:20,840 --> 02:16:23,359
out to your mom forgetting you to games. We got

2866
02:16:23,399 --> 02:16:26,600
two more emails here. This one comes from Matt from

2867
02:16:26,680 --> 02:16:30,439
Scotland High bombers. Can you settle a debate with me

2868
02:16:30,560 --> 02:16:33,879
and my partner. We have twelve extra invites to our

2869
02:16:33,920 --> 02:16:35,959
wedding and we want to send them to companies for

2870
02:16:36,000 --> 02:16:38,799
free shit. Any ideas who might give us some good stuff.

2871
02:16:38,959 --> 02:16:42,760
Weddings are expensive. We love freebies, Matt from Scotland, so.

2872
02:16:42,760 --> 02:16:45,719
Speaker 3: Hang on, you want to invite the companies to your wedding.

2873
02:16:45,719 --> 02:16:47,840
I don't understand how the invite turns into free shit.

2874
02:16:48,159 --> 02:16:50,040
What are you describing here?

2875
02:16:50,639 --> 02:16:53,840
Speaker 1: I think Matt is under the assumption that if someone

2876
02:16:53,879 --> 02:16:57,479
in the company sees this invite, they will think, oh, well,

2877
02:16:57,600 --> 02:16:59,760
we can't make it, let's go give them something.

2878
02:17:00,360 --> 02:17:03,040
Speaker 3: This is just like the common I'm mister trying to

2879
02:17:03,040 --> 02:17:05,040
get free ship from companies and this feels like a stretch.

2880
02:17:05,040 --> 02:17:07,239
I don't know if you can pull this off. You

2881
02:17:07,239 --> 02:17:09,200
can get the company to give you a free wedding

2882
02:17:09,280 --> 02:17:10,799
in my case, but I don't know if you could

2883
02:17:10,799 --> 02:17:12,479
get gifts.

2884
02:17:12,639 --> 02:17:17,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, esar romantic wedding at Taco Bell Valentine's Day at

2885
02:17:17,799 --> 02:17:25,440
a White Castle. We got Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

2886
02:17:25,479 --> 02:17:27,280
I don't know about that party. Must be like it

2887
02:17:27,360 --> 02:17:29,120
might be I'll come to your wedding, but I won't.

2888
02:17:29,159 --> 02:17:33,639
I don't want to. Yeah, okay, okay, let's play in

2889
02:17:33,680 --> 02:17:35,559
this space a little bit. Guys, can you think of

2890
02:17:35,559 --> 02:17:37,840
a way to make it happen? Because I okay, I

2891
02:17:37,879 --> 02:17:40,799
think if you go into LinkedIn and you get like

2892
02:17:40,959 --> 02:17:44,520
the names of not just like the C suite people

2893
02:17:44,719 --> 02:17:48,559
or like maybe the like the regional vice president or something,

2894
02:17:49,040 --> 02:17:51,760
get their names, but then find out the names of

2895
02:17:51,840 --> 02:17:55,520
their assistance, reach out to them directly and be like, hey,

2896
02:17:56,120 --> 02:17:58,639
I was wondering if if like Bob could come to

2897
02:17:58,680 --> 02:17:59,040
my wedding.

2898
02:17:59,159 --> 02:18:00,760
Speaker 4: We were like, this is this something that you know

2899
02:18:00,799 --> 02:18:03,520
would be a dream come true or whatever? Just lie'd

2900
02:18:03,559 --> 02:18:05,520
be like, talk to Bob about it. He said, to

Speaker 2: You might work.

2909
02:18:25,799 --> 02:18:26,600
Speaker 5: That's the smart way.

2910
02:18:27,920 --> 02:18:30,159

Speaker 5: Sure, again, it's not freethe they're paying to get you

2922
02:19:02,680 --> 02:19:05,639
out there, but it's nice gesture esture.

2923
02:19:05,680 --> 02:19:08,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dan, maybe you can give them the shaker that

2924
02:19:08,559 --> 02:19:09,040
you don't want.

2925
02:19:09,079 --> 02:19:09,399
Speaker 2: I will.

2926
02:19:09,440 --> 02:19:12,760
Speaker 3: I will also get otes overnight innovator steel shaker.

2927
02:19:13,000 --> 02:19:21,319
Speaker 2: Yes, it's it's terrible. It's bugs, all right.

2928
02:19:21,479 --> 02:19:24,479
Speaker 1: Everybody last email the show and normally when an emailer

2929
02:19:24,959 --> 02:19:27,760
leaves their last name and I omit it. But I

2930
02:19:27,799 --> 02:19:32,000
think a declaration of war has been cast down? What

2931
02:19:32,760 --> 02:19:37,319
and this comes from the Regulation Podcast's own Andrew Panton

2932
02:19:37,920 --> 02:19:41,360
Dear Giant Bomb Crew on episode n twenty seven, an

2933
02:19:41,360 --> 02:19:46,440
emailer wrote in declaring you to be the hot Dog Podcast,

2934
02:19:47,079 --> 02:19:50,440
I love you guys, but I cannot allow this without challenge.

2935
02:19:50,840 --> 02:19:53,360
Last year we gained the hot dog crown after the

2936
02:19:53,440 --> 02:19:56,159
five of us tracked every hot dog we ate across

2937
02:19:56,200 --> 02:19:59,120
the year. We even have a wonderful community made a

2938
02:19:59,239 --> 02:20:02,799
site backing our data. As a show. We consumed one

2939
02:20:02,879 --> 02:20:05,719
hundred and fifty nine hot dogs across twelve months. Until

2940
02:20:05,760 --> 02:20:10,319
Giant Bomb can establish a higher year total. Regulation is

2941
02:20:10,440 --> 02:20:14,879
undeniably the hot Dog podcast, and that's regulation podcasts.

2942
02:20:14,959 --> 02:20:16,159
Speaker 2: Love Andrew Panton.

2943
02:20:17,040 --> 02:20:18,360
Speaker 5: We can't fucking compete with that.

2944
02:20:18,360 --> 02:20:18,959
Speaker 2: What are you talking?

2945
02:20:19,399 --> 02:20:21,559
Speaker 4: I came, I think even if back of our sits

2946
02:20:21,600 --> 02:20:25,120
out completely and.

2947
02:20:23,719 --> 02:20:26,840
Speaker 2: We got this, I got this. Get show numbers up

2948
02:20:26,879 --> 02:20:28,920
boys probably, I think I think they can have this.

2949
02:20:28,959 --> 02:20:32,000
One person do it by myself.

2950
02:20:32,520 --> 02:20:36,600
Speaker 3: I probably had three to five hot dogs last year.

2951
02:20:37,959 --> 02:20:40,959
Speaker 2: Uh exactly, those are rookie number, and I like, I

2952
02:20:41,000 --> 02:20:43,479
probably had three to five hot dogs so far this year,

2953
02:20:43,760 --> 02:20:46,000
So I'm like, yeah, I can I can step up.

2954
02:20:46,079 --> 02:20:48,760
Speaker 1: I think I'm I know so far this year, No,

2955
02:20:48,840 --> 02:20:52,639
I know, I've had twelve this you've had twelve.

2956
02:20:54,000 --> 02:20:57,120
Speaker 5: You're averaging what the fuck is happening?

2957
02:20:57,280 --> 02:21:00,280
Speaker 2: Sometimes you got to take a friend to Costco. No,

2958
02:21:00,719 --> 02:21:02,920
I don't have a Costco and I haven't been to

2959
02:21:02,959 --> 02:21:06,040
any ball games. Oh, I haven't counted my costcos.

2960
02:21:06,079 --> 02:21:08,159
Speaker 3: I'm going to New York, going to New York City

2961
02:21:08,159 --> 02:21:09,799

02:21:10,639 --> 02:21:14,159
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right from uh starting Lunar New Year,

2969
02:21:37,239 --> 02:21:39,920
Speaker 5: I'm looking at this podcast and they got people putting

2970
02:21:40,000 --> 02:21:41,920
up some disgusting numbers.

2971
02:21:42,040 --> 02:21:49,040
Speaker 1: The Regulation podcast thirty No, no, no, it's not about

2972
02:21:49,040 --> 02:21:49,479
a hot dog.

2973
02:21:49,760 --> 02:21:52,120
Speaker 3: Oh, it's about friendship and embracing absurdity.

2974
02:21:53,360 --> 02:21:54,280
Speaker 2: Yes, it's like us.

2975
02:21:54,319 --> 02:21:57,719
Speaker 5: Yes, wait a minute, sooner, give me we all listen

2976
02:21:57,760 --> 02:22:01,639

had two hundred and thirty eight hot dogs in a

2978
02:22:05,600 --> 02:22:06,280
calendar year.

2979
02:22:06,399 --> 02:22:07,200
Speaker 3: That's not that crazy.

2980
02:22:07,239 --> 02:22:09,239
Speaker 2: That's almost a hot dog a day. I guess it's

2981
02:22:09,239 --> 02:22:11,600
missing seventy days, but like that's a lot of hot dogs.

2982
02:22:11,680 --> 02:22:13,440
It's like every day of war.

2983
02:22:13,520 --> 02:22:18,239

02:23:49,120 --> 02:23:51,280
Speaker 3: I have been in contact with the Wiener Mobile in

3014
02:24:02,719 --> 02:24:04,559
to do that and also said it was impossible because

3015
02:24:04,559 --> 02:24:05,879
it was on the second floor and you can't drive

3016
02:24:05,879 --> 02:24:07,079

do contact.

3020
02:24:17,959 --> 02:24:22,040
Speaker 1: Can someone on our internal discord make a new channel

3028
02:24:39,159 --> 02:24:41,680
Speaker 3: When are we racing? Are we racing among each other.

3029
02:24:43,840 --> 02:24:46,280
Speaker 2: Co op. Let's call it couch connectivity.

3030
02:24:46,280 --> 02:24:50,399
Speaker 3: Who knows how to use that phrase anyway.

3031
02:24:48,920 --> 02:24:51,600
Speaker 2: Yes, it's utivity Padres.

3032
02:24:51,680 --> 02:24:54,159
Speaker 5: But with okay dogs, I'm gonna take it a step further.

3033
02:24:54,239 --> 02:24:56,399
I don't know why you're so fucking proud of yourselves

3034
02:24:56,440 --> 02:24:57,280
eating hot dogs.

3035
02:24:57,479 --> 02:25:00,360
Speaker 2: What are you so proud of? I don't It's just

3036
02:25:00,360 --> 02:25:00,639
the fun.

3037
02:25:02,559 --> 02:25:04,440
Speaker 4: It's a fun thing to be proud of, because you

3038
02:25:04,440 --> 02:25:07,200
shouldn't be proud like.

3039
02:25:09,920 --> 02:25:12,479
Speaker 1: It is there there there is an alternate world out

3040
02:25:12,479 --> 02:25:15,239
there where the dynamite of pride.

3041
02:25:15,680 --> 02:25:18,600
Speaker 4: I think this is the definition of irony. I'm not sure, though,

3042
02:25:18,680 --> 02:25:19,200
I don't know.

3043
02:25:19,239 --> 02:25:21,239
Speaker 1: There's a lot of it in Hotbogs, I think, But

3044
02:25:21,559 --> 02:25:24,120
there is an alternate world out there where the opening

3045
02:25:24,159 --> 02:25:26,239
of T M N T two Secret of the Ooze

3046
02:25:26,280 --> 02:25:28,280
is not about right and it's just people.

3047
02:25:28,920 --> 02:25:37,680
Speaker 2: Yes, you can't take this away, Jan, watch your mouth.

3048
02:25:41,159 --> 02:25:43,360

Speaker 5: If I just do a bunch of sour Crown and bronx, I.

3054
02:25:56,040 --> 02:25:58,719
Speaker 2: Think it needs to be a you need to delineate like,

3055
02:25:58,840 --> 02:26:00,760
but you can count it, but you have to. You

3056
02:26:00,760 --> 02:26:03,680
have to make sure you let us know. I need

3057
02:26:03,879 --> 02:26:05,440
to tell us if it counts, will eat a broad

3058
02:26:05,440 --> 02:26:11,079
because that might be a little too doesn't count? Like, Hi,

Oh I see Predator. Okay, that'd be pretty good. Yeah, gosh,

3092
02:28:12,479 --> 02:28:15,479
we had like we had some you know, aliens predator games.

3093
02:28:15,520 --> 02:28:17,719
Has there ever been like a good just Predator game.

3094
02:28:18,319 --> 02:28:21,239
I don't think so any one was?

3095
02:28:22,760 --> 02:28:24,959
Speaker 4: There are some well who will tell you that that

3096
02:28:25,000 --> 02:28:28,760
Predator asymmetrical online multiplayer game is.

3097
02:28:28,760 --> 02:28:31,239
Speaker 3: That Hunting Ground or something? What was the one on

3098
02:28:31,280 --> 02:28:35,040
PS two It was Predator, Predator, Predators Concrete or something

3099
02:28:35,120 --> 02:28:38,479
with the PS two one. There's like a third person. Yeah, yeah,

3100
02:28:38,520 --> 02:28:39,319
it's not great.

3101
02:28:40,319 --> 02:28:45,600
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, uh MiG Z says uh. Thebacclar is three

3102
02:28:45,680 --> 02:28:47,959
D printing key caps the next hot thing.

3103
02:28:50,120 --> 02:28:53,000
Speaker 5: No, I don't think so, because a very specific kind

3104
02:28:53,040 --> 02:28:56,239
of plastic. Right yeah, they're usually a B S. I

3105
02:28:56,280 --> 02:28:59,399
know you can print a B S, but there is

3106
02:28:59,479 --> 02:29:04,000
a level of like, you know, finesse that a cap,

3107
02:29:04,200 --> 02:29:07,600
a real keyboard key cap has that, Like, I just

3108
02:29:07,639 --> 02:29:09,479
don't think you're getting out of a three D printer.

3109
02:29:09,959 --> 02:29:12,520
I printed a couple of those like key cap fidget

3110
02:29:12,520 --> 02:29:15,159
things for for DIB, and we we had to use

3111
02:29:15,200 --> 02:29:18,120
a regular key cap because the ones that we've kept

3112
02:29:18,159 --> 02:29:22,399
three D printing with like crack, Yes, you can do it,

3113
02:29:22,639 --> 02:29:24,840
but it's it's not the next top.

3114
02:29:24,799 --> 02:29:26,799
Speaker 2: Thing, right, It's it's just not worth it, right because

3115
02:29:26,799 --> 02:29:28,680
you're going just be able to get the better quality

3116
02:29:28,920 --> 02:29:32,040
like guaranteed thing from someone a warranty and ship like

3117
02:29:32,120 --> 02:29:32,600
yeah yeah.

3118
02:29:32,639 --> 02:29:34,639
Speaker 5: And the way they print on the real key caps

3119
02:29:34,639 --> 02:29:39,120
with like either it's like what are the sublimation and

3120
02:29:39,719 --> 02:29:41,799
you know double shot and all that stuff. Like the

3121
02:29:41,840 --> 02:29:44,559
printing technology is so much better and crisper, it's just

3122
02:29:44,920 --> 02:29:46,719
it's not there just yet.

3123
02:29:47,680 --> 02:29:50,479
Speaker 2: Tricky Lef says, wanted to put super Battle Golf on

3124
02:29:50,520 --> 02:29:53,879

3127
02:30:01,959 --> 02:30:04,399
Mixy says m n. I think that means me somehow.

Aren't you supposed to be Vaca in Disneyland? Uh? No,

02:30:14,600 --> 02:30:16,440

Yeah there's literally it's not actually any time to do that.

3147
02:31:08,440 --> 02:31:12,840
It's two hours and meeting. I want to do it

3148
02:31:13,000 --> 02:31:17,360

3149
02:31:17,360 --> 02:31:20,159

02:31:20,159 --> 02:31:25,959
favorite Mike Era or Faces of Minati bank robber Mike

3151
02:31:26,280 --> 02:31:26,719
of course.

3152
02:31:26,879 --> 02:31:31,840
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, oh bank robber Mike with Kyla would go

3153
02:31:31,920 --> 02:31:33,799
incredibly chaotic.

3154
02:31:35,159 --> 02:31:38,079
Speaker 2: In our creators Jesus Christ, I love the same people

3155
02:31:38,079 --> 02:31:40,799
are like, you need to punish Dan Reker real horror

3156
02:31:40,799 --> 02:31:43,399
and be whatever. Like also, we want to see you

3157
02:31:43,399 --> 02:31:49,399
suffer today. I mean they want to see everyone on

3158
02:31:49,479 --> 02:31:50,639
Black Clubs suffer because.

3159
02:31:50,479 --> 02:31:53,680
Speaker 3: That's not the point.

3160
02:31:53,840 --> 02:31:57,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's been the point. It feels like it.

3161
02:31:57,520 --> 02:31:59,520
Real Rocket says, who won the crew would do their

3162
02:31:59,600 --> 02:32:02,520
dad job the best. Dan is a supposed to worker,

3163
02:32:02,639 --> 02:32:06,239
Backler is a taxi medallion broker. Mike is a doctor.

3164
02:32:06,440 --> 02:32:08,840
I'm not sure what grever Jan's fathers do, but say

3165
02:32:08,879 --> 02:32:11,239
to them, I definitely can't be a doctor. There's a

3166
02:32:11,239 --> 02:32:12,559
lot yet to learn about doing that.

3167
02:32:12,639 --> 02:32:14,959
Speaker 3: And I don't mean my dad hasn't worked since twenty fifteen,

3168
02:32:15,000 --> 02:32:16,319
so I think I could do what he does now. Well,

3169
02:32:16,319 --> 02:32:18,399
I guess he sells baseball base so I could. I

3170
02:32:18,399 --> 02:32:19,200
could figure that out.

3171
02:32:20,360 --> 02:32:28,159
Speaker 2: My dad sells plastics. I don't know, dad, Yeah, I

3172
02:32:28,159 --> 02:32:30,959
don't know, Like, yeah, I don't know. He's retiring now.

3173
02:32:31,000 --> 02:32:33,440
I could do that very easily. Yeah, my dad was

3174
02:32:33,479 --> 02:32:38,600
a busterer for several years. I could do that all right, then,

3175
02:32:38,360 --> 02:32:40,479
I don't. I still think Dan could probably for yeah,

3176
02:32:40,559 --> 02:32:42,319
do his father's job. The best was going to go

3177
02:32:42,319 --> 02:32:45,639
with it. Big Fresh says back. Are you watch Shorsy?

3178
02:32:46,799 --> 02:32:50,040
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I'm a I'm a big fan. I think

3179
02:32:50,079 --> 02:32:52,479
I think I still like Letter Kenny more than Shory.

3180
02:32:52,520 --> 02:32:55,840
But Suresey has surprised me. I thought season it was

3181
02:32:55,879 --> 02:32:59,280
the season three of Shoresy was like surprisingly really well

3182
02:32:59,280 --> 02:33:02,879
written and kind of like very impactful in a in

3183
02:33:02,920 --> 02:33:07,719
a really big way I've not seen. I have to finish.

3184
02:33:07,799 --> 02:33:10,399
I think I have to finish four and five, but

3185
02:33:10,559 --> 02:33:13,079
those are they're only like, you know, five or six

3186
02:33:13,120 --> 02:33:17,920
episode seasons. Yeah, that's great. I'm a I'm a huge fan.

3187
02:33:18,000 --> 02:33:19,239
Hell ya.

3188
02:33:19,479 --> 02:33:22,200
Speaker 2: Next up is Andrew Panton and says, I'm sitting cozy

3189
02:33:22,239 --> 02:33:24,799
on this throne. I think it's referring to his hot

3190
02:33:24,799 --> 02:33:29,639
dog thrown. Oh we're coming for you. You can have it.

3191
02:33:30,879 --> 02:33:35,680
They ten hot dogs a day for fifteen days, and

3192
02:33:35,719 --> 02:33:40,120
you already win. Think about like that, everybody. I'm going

3193
02:33:40,200 --> 02:33:42,479
to text and backlar every time I have a hot dog.

3194
02:33:42,600 --> 02:33:46,079
Speaker 5: That's what I do to Yeah, that's actually fine. I

3195
02:33:46,079 --> 02:33:47,239
have no problem with that.

3196
02:33:47,680 --> 02:33:51,639
Speaker 1: Great man training for a hot training, training for a

3197
02:33:51,680 --> 02:33:54,600
hot dog, training for a marathon, and also try to

3198
02:33:54,639 --> 02:33:55,600
eat the most hot.

3199
02:33:55,440 --> 02:33:58,280
Speaker 2: Protein protein you know there.

3200
02:33:59,319 --> 02:34:00,959
Speaker 3: You know some of those gel packs and stuff you

3201
02:34:00,959 --> 02:34:03,040
put in your running belt for the long run days,

3202
02:34:04,479 --> 02:34:05,639
they're so cylindrical.

3203
02:34:05,719 --> 02:34:06,120
Speaker 2: I bet it.

3204
02:34:06,159 --> 02:34:08,040
Speaker 3: And I've got like one of those zipper belts. I

3205
02:34:08,440 --> 02:34:10,559
slide like six hot dogs into that belt.

3206
02:34:11,079 --> 02:34:12,280
Speaker 2: Oh like a band of the year.

3207
02:34:12,399 --> 02:34:16,159
Speaker 1: Yeah okay, yeah, okay, okay, okay, uh.

3208
02:34:17,319 --> 02:34:19,079
Speaker 2: Oh go ahead, back art. Do you want to say something.

3209
02:34:20,280 --> 02:34:23,600
Speaker 5: No, I'm trying to like really unpack the whole thing.

3210
02:34:23,680 --> 02:34:25,600
I also think it's like they're just like fun little

3211
02:34:25,639 --> 02:34:29,360
like like a little Wiener pink Wiener floppy things, And

3212
02:34:29,399 --> 02:34:32,360
I think that like leans into the whole thing as well, like, oh,

3213
02:34:32,399 --> 02:34:34,159
that's just a funny looking food product.

3214
02:34:34,159 --> 02:34:35,799
Speaker 2: Anyway. I'm just trying to.

3215
02:34:35,799 --> 02:34:38,079
Speaker 5: Understand the psychology of it all, because you can all

3216
02:34:38,120 --> 02:34:40,840
like look beyond all of these you know, on its

3217
02:34:40,840 --> 02:34:45,440
face disgusting, inherently thing inherently disgusting things, and still be

3218
02:34:45,479 --> 02:34:48,479
okay with it. Trying to understand it is what I think.

3219
02:34:48,559 --> 02:34:50,719
Speaker 2: I think a big part of it is this reaction

3220
02:34:50,799 --> 02:34:54,479
right here back, the fact that normal by it, that

3221
02:34:54,559 --> 02:34:57,040
it's like, yeah, man, I'm gonna get a bunch of

3222
02:34:57,079 --> 02:35:02,319
them crazy, fair enough enough. Zombie point says, if I

3223
02:35:02,440 --> 02:35:05,639
ven venmo jan money, can you use it on hot dogs?

3224
02:35:06,159 --> 02:35:10,600
Don't venmo me money please? That's what Migsy says. Grub.

3225
02:35:10,639 --> 02:35:14,639
Would Blizzard ever bring back Blackborn? Hey, Migsy, does Grub

3226
02:35:14,680 --> 02:35:19,000
look like the Blizzard guy around here? Does Jeff Grubb

3227
02:35:19,079 --> 02:35:23,120
know that Blizzard thought about putting John Blackthorn whatever his

3228
02:35:23,200 --> 02:35:25,120
name is, and here's the storm then it didn't happen?

3229
02:35:25,159 --> 02:35:27,280
Do you think he knows that? I didn't know that.

3230
02:35:27,799 --> 02:35:34,360
Oh but no, Mike's Mike's definitely the Blizzard guy. I'm Mike.

3231
02:35:34,440 --> 02:35:37,559
What's happening with Blackthorn and I gotta bring Blackthorn back. No,

3232
02:35:37,600 --> 02:35:38,639
they're not gonna bring blackfrn.

3233
02:35:38,680 --> 02:35:42,399
Speaker 4: Probably they'll they'll probably like re release it again and

3234
02:35:42,479 --> 02:35:45,959
again like he use in that Arcade Classics collection or whatever.

3235
02:35:46,760 --> 02:35:50,120
Speaker 2: You know, it's it's it's it's fun. I mean, they're

3236
02:35:50,120 --> 02:35:52,760
probably gonna bring three thirty Dwarves back before they bring

3237
02:35:52,920 --> 02:35:54,959
Blackthorn back. I don't think they're gonna do that either.

3238
02:35:55,120 --> 02:35:57,319
So yeah, I don't think it's that. Yeah, rock and

3239
02:35:57,399 --> 02:36:00,920
roll racing, they'll they'll bring that back. Uh well, now

3240
02:36:00,959 --> 02:36:03,120
because that would be a nightmare because they had to

3241
02:36:03,399 --> 02:36:05,639
they had to pay for those rights for those songs before,

3242
02:36:05,680 --> 02:36:08,200
and now it's gonna be hell because you actually get

3243
02:36:08,200 --> 02:36:10,360
to do It'll just be a mode in one of

3244
02:36:10,399 --> 02:36:13,399
their games. Ye have a rock and Roll racing Overwatch night.

3245
02:36:14,399 --> 02:36:16,559

Thursday we're starting a new premium series with our own

3268

upf We have yet to decide, But who knows what

3273
02:37:43,920 --> 02:37:48,360
it could be. Anything is possible, anything can happen. Maybe

3274
02:37:49,040 --> 02:37:51,120

3275
02:37:51,200 --> 02:37:56,040

3276
02:37:56,239 --> 02:37:59,319
I forgot that is popping off on the website.

3277
02:38:02,120 --> 02:38:05,360
Speaker 3: No, Well, lots of coverage your new games will certainly

3278
02:38:06,079 --> 02:38:08,479
this is the run more with Millionaire. Obviously, travel and

3279
02:38:08,520 --> 02:38:10,920
stuff has made it difficult here, but we're excited to

3280
02:38:10,959 --> 02:38:12,120
do more and you will see more.

3281
02:38:12,879 --> 02:38:14,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, we might. We might try to record one of those.

3282
02:38:15,040 --> 02:38:19,200
Speaker 1: We'll see, we shall see. Also, if you haven't checked

3283
02:38:19,200 --> 02:38:22,280
out the first episode of Nine Lives of misterstopa Fleas,

3284
02:38:22,680 --> 02:38:25,079
as Mike pointed out earlier, I suggest you go check

3285
02:38:25,120 --> 02:38:27,920
that out. I think the show, which was supposed to

3286
02:38:27,959 --> 02:38:30,559
be Chuck's a little outlet to de stress from work,

3287
02:38:31,000 --> 02:38:31,920
is now killing him.

3288
02:38:32,000 --> 02:38:37,079
Speaker 2: So that's who's that. That's the content creator's curse, Like

3289
02:38:37,079 --> 02:38:40,399
that's how it goes. Yeah, exactly, just sabotaging him, make

3290
02:38:40,479 --> 02:38:43,719
him put command lines into trying to reprogram the game

3291
02:38:43,760 --> 02:38:47,719
on the fly. Oh my god, he's part of the show.

3292
02:38:47,760 --> 02:38:53,239
And I like how offended on I got to see

3293
02:38:53,280 --> 02:38:55,879
myself peak. Why would you play Skyrim and not play

3294
02:38:55,920 --> 02:39:00,760
around with the console command, Are you child? Never? It's

3295
02:39:00,799 --> 02:39:03,559
already basically for babies. It's so easy. We gotta do

3296
02:39:03,799 --> 02:39:07,040
console commands. We have to make that horse big. You

3297
02:39:07,079 --> 02:39:10,680
gotta have big horse, your child man. A horse is big.

3298
02:39:10,719 --> 02:39:16,920
Now I'm happy. That about does it.
