Speaker 1: own demons inside of him.
Speaker 5: Dan Ryker, I watched that entire movie and I still
Speaker 5: had no idea what you guys were talking about.
Speaker 1: A second and we have the most musical man. He
Speaker 1: doesn't need any serials to fix his voice, because his voice.
Speaker 2: Truly is golden.
Speaker 1: And he's a bad boy of games media. So maybe
Speaker 1: he's he's a lisage boy himself. Mike Manati, are you
Speaker 1: ready for the breakdown? Jeff Furry Grub is actually a scrub.
Speaker 1: If he still went with takedown, it would have worked.
Speaker 2: Come on, but no, you know what, Actually, I'm having
Speaker 2: a character development and I realized that, uh, bringing down
Speaker 2: others is not the solution to my problems. I should
Speaker 2: instead lift up myself and my friends.
Speaker 4: I don't think you need to hear that at all.
Speaker 3: Actually might be toxic for you specifically, Yeah, is there
Speaker 3: so much Well, I guess toxic positivity is a thing
Speaker 3: right where it's like you'redated with too much vibes that
Speaker 3: you're like, all right, I've never seen seeing the bad
Speaker 3: of anything anymore.
Speaker 2: I am definitely I'm a bit off kilter today, and
Speaker 2: I apologize for it. I'm a little distressed.
Speaker 1: Why are you distressed? Or is this like a mic?
Speaker 6: He's setting something?
Speaker 3: Why do you? I know, don't ask?
Speaker 2: You're setting us up? Are you a chipmunk? Now? What's
Speaker 2: front to this chip? Well, so it's a very long story.
Speaker 2: In the third grade, I was fighting.
Speaker 3: No no, no.
Speaker 2: Away. Skip to this weekend. Whatever it happens, you shut
Speaker 2: up and listen. No, no, no, no, we're taking the
Speaker 2: off rip.
Speaker 1: Daddy's taking a different route to get to the destination sooner, Mike,
Speaker 1: what happened.
Speaker 2: In the third grade and had another kid? We're fighting
Speaker 2: over a puppet and stirring the fight up, my face
Speaker 2: got slammed into a marble window sill and my my
Speaker 2: front tooth chipped off. Ever since then, I've had a
Speaker 2: series of crowns and caps on this tooth. And like
Speaker 2: every five years or so, something happens like a chip
Speaker 2: or it just comes on new puppet, a new puppets
Speaker 2: that is traumatic for you, but not traumatic, more annoying
Speaker 2: and upsetting. And I hate the feeling of a chip.
Speaker 2: Now it's a very tight chip right now. All that
Speaker 2: happened this time was I was at some uh market
Speaker 2: store and they had artismal root piers I bought Bair.
Speaker 2: I was like in my car, like trying to put
Speaker 2: stuff like I put like the root beer bottle in
Speaker 2: my mouth, was just holding it up with my teeth
Speaker 2: and I guess I bit down on it too hard
Speaker 2: and it chipped. So that's all it was. Uh save
Speaker 2: me today at least actually three three so shortly after
Speaker 2: this podcast was going to go to the dentists. Hopefully
Speaker 2: they I hope they can just kind of put something
Speaker 2: there and not take off the whole cap and have
Speaker 2: to make a new one. It's a whole thing. It's
Speaker 2: not I don't even know if you guys can see,
Speaker 2: it's not that bad. But he's driving because you're tonguing
Speaker 2: the chip.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you can't stop yourself right once you notice it.
Speaker 3: Your your tongue just does its own thing.
Speaker 2: Can stop getting.
Speaker 6: Audio listeners are missing out?
Speaker 4: Bad for business.
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking about teeth. Uh, Mike, movie your camera a
Speaker 1: little bit.
Speaker 2: I'm getting it, speaking about.
Speaker 1: Teeth, boys, I need I need everyone's opinion here in
Speaker 1: the public opinion, public court of opinion?
Speaker 3: Is that what it is of public with the court
Speaker 3: of public opinion?
Speaker 2: Court of owls? Got it?
Speaker 1: I want to get a grill again. Okay, but then
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, oh, yeah, like bottom eight here. You know
Speaker 1: I don't have the straight teeth on my body.
Speaker 3: Clear. Me and Mike both thought you meant why we're
Speaker 3: excited to talk about charcoal?
Speaker 6: We were still talking about teeth, Jay, and I'm with you.
Speaker 1: Did thank you for following the thread.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm programmed to know that's what you mean as well.
Speaker 1: Uh no, I knew you would know as well. Back, Laur,
Speaker 1: I just know lost this hell over here for a second.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, it's like what a pivot? But yeah, girls
Speaker 2: are great. Don't let it tell you that you can't
Speaker 2: taste the smoky charcoal flavor.
Speaker 3: Can't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't just get a cheap Weber grill with some
Speaker 2: good old chucol nuggies.
Speaker 3: But see, now we don't have to have this conversation
Speaker 3: because it was about about Jan's grill.
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking right like, I'm a little uh self
Speaker 1: conscious about my bottom teeth because it's not like the straightest.
Speaker 1: I thought, fuck it, whatever if I'm just gonna get
Speaker 1: like gold teeth mucket and I was thinking bottom eight.
Speaker 1: But then should I also add like the canines on top?
Speaker 1: Like so two on top here?
Speaker 4: Okay, I like, I like, I'm afraid I cannot provide
Speaker 4: any helpful advice.
Speaker 3: Oh, you have a you have an aesthetic eye, back, La,
Speaker 3: don't sell yourself short. You have what looks good.
Speaker 1: I am. I am a taste for you have a
Speaker 1: taste for fashion, you know what I do.
Speaker 4: I just think this is a a section of fashion
Speaker 4: perhaps that I cannot long fangs.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, no, no, no, not not just two things go
Speaker 5: full shark.
Speaker 2: Full shark.
Speaker 6: Okay, the Latinum.
Speaker 4: Shark girls seem tremendously uncomfortable they are, okay?
Speaker 6: Did them out to eat? Did they pop out like
Speaker 6: an invisil line they have to?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, but the swag, you got a factor in
Speaker 1: the swag?
Speaker 3: I get it. Fashion.
Speaker 4: There's a price to pay, I understand now.
Speaker 1: My my problem is the guy that I went to
Speaker 1: originally for my old grill I think may have died.
Speaker 1: So r I P mister bling bling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had a sterious infection on his mouth anyways,
Speaker 2: in his mouth.
Speaker 1: Mouth mouth, What a way to go. How is everyone
Speaker 1: else doing? I hope your mouths and teeth are fine?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I uh, for reasons that will probably be clear tomorrow.
Speaker 5: In a video, I yesterday spent some time in a
Speaker 5: security office watching Ben Hanson have to provide his uh
Speaker 5: information to security officers. And there was a police woman too,
Speaker 5: and uh that was very funny to me.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, where does Ben Hanson rank on funniest friend
Speaker 3: to see get in close to like trouble with the police?
Speaker 6: Like he would be second only to Manati.
Speaker 3: Right, that's what That's what I was wondering.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're the last person I want to Mike.
Speaker 3: I think Mike would be It would be pretty sad
Speaker 3: because he just wouldn't be able to handle.
Speaker 6: Most anxiety I have ever seen.
Speaker 3: Mike.
Speaker 5: I've just seen the man like be confronted with the
Speaker 5: concept of jaywalking and just be able to handle him.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: I don't want that to happen him. I've been is
Speaker 3: kind of a funny thought through and was hilarious.
Speaker 5: Yes, really, And I was also sitting next to him,
Speaker 5: but I was not the one in trouble, So I
Speaker 5: just got to sit there and just.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you are a narc and I feel like.
Speaker 2: No, no, I was there.
Speaker 3: I was just by your own admission. Hello, he was
Speaker 3: the police.
Speaker 5: He was the one that security had a blurry photo
Speaker 5: of that they were following around an amusement park looking for.
Speaker 5: So I was in trouble.
Speaker 3: Why was it blurry?
Speaker 6: It was just like security and they're like this man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe.
Speaker 1: I have also thought about this, but I kind of
Speaker 1: hate the dystopian future we live in for multiple reasons.
Speaker 1: But I've seen so many people wearing those meta glasses
Speaker 1: the ray bands with the camera in them, and it
Speaker 1: kind of freaks me out.
Speaker 6: I don't think I would be able to spot them
Speaker 6: in the wail what they meta?
Speaker 3: They look like sunglasses for the most part, Dan, I
Speaker 3: think I agree that you would not be able to
Speaker 3: spot them. Mary.
Speaker 5: All of Mary's Instagram stuff I see her uploaded from sunglasses,
Speaker 5: which I don't really understand how that works.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, she's got the right band sunglasses. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: so I Jan, I'm with you. I don't know, like
Speaker 3: when the glasshole thing like went away and all these
Speaker 3: glasses are they seem like they're cool and hip. I
Speaker 3: did not realize that that had happened.
Speaker 4: I think it's because they're they're much more get, they
Speaker 4: are more fashionable.
Speaker 3: But I thought the whole point was there's a man
Speaker 3: with the camera looking at me all the time at
Speaker 3: this bar.
Speaker 4: Excuse they're subtle. They're they're much much more subtle. I mean,
Speaker 4: if Greg Miller wore them, I feel like for all
Speaker 4: of us, Yes.
Speaker 3: The most subtle man alive.
Speaker 6: He doesn't want anyone to notice them.
Speaker 4: So no, definitely, he wasn't advertising that he had cameras
Speaker 4: on his eyeballs.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't like to assume that now that like
Speaker 5: anybody can be kind, Yes, that stings. How do you
Speaker 5: get it to record? You just tell it like hey,
Speaker 5: glasses record or.
Speaker 3: Think there's probably a capacitive touch on the on the
Speaker 3: band there.
Speaker 6: Okay, I've not used one.
Speaker 3: I don't want to be accused of being a creep,
Speaker 3: so I will not be with one of these things. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought several times in like the last week, like, oh,
Speaker 1: that'd be fun, is like a BCAM or something, And
Speaker 1: then I thought of the implications of everything afterwards, where
Speaker 1: it's like, ooh, I don't want my friends to be
Speaker 1: uncomfortable talking around me because I'm constantly recording, or the
Speaker 1: prospect of constantly recording.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.
Speaker 4: Think you will eventually be wearing cameras on you.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 3: I think it'll be like it'll just be built into
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I have a camera with me
Speaker 3: all the time, though you no.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: But but when people make the argument of like, oh,
Speaker 3: I'm not going to put in alexim my home, then
Speaker 3: I'll have a microphone listening to me all the time,
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, honey, you definitely already have that constantly
Speaker 3: with your TV don't and you can't fool yourself like that.
Speaker 3: But you're right, there is a difference between that and
Speaker 3: something on your face that is always looking where you're looking.
Speaker 3: That's a little different. But you're right that eventually I'm
Speaker 3: just gonna buy something that has the stuff built in
Speaker 3: and I'll be like, whatever, I still want this thing,
Speaker 3: and then I'll use it. You're right, I think.
Speaker 1: Actually, do the metaglasses are they also like Bluetooth headphones
Speaker 1: are like a microphone or something.
Speaker 3: I would hope so, because like I've I've had glasses
Speaker 3: that have the bone conducting like audio things, so you
Speaker 3: could just wear them and they send them a sound
Speaker 3: into your ear without having to put anything in your ear.
Speaker 3: And those were pretty decent. And it's like, if I'm
Speaker 3: gonna be paying a lot of money for one of
Speaker 3: these things, I kind of wanted to have all that functionality.
Speaker 5: Sure, Hey, Grub, I know I'm not normally the news guy,
Speaker 5: but I did just get a press release that I'm
Speaker 5: into the news.
Speaker 6: It a claim is back.
Speaker 3: Apparently it's in there that Yeah, I was gonna see
Speaker 3: if that happened already. Did they say what it's back?
Speaker 5: It just says the Claim is back, not as I
Speaker 5: already closed it, but they were trying to make it
Speaker 5: sound like they're fully back.
Speaker 6: Here time the reboot, but a rebirth for the idea chief.
Speaker 3: Wait stop, Dan, do you know who the chief operating
Speaker 3: officer is of a Claim currently? Yeah, right now, you've
Speaker 3: met him.
Speaker 1: We've been on the podcast for him. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: you me and Mike have been on a podcast with him.
Speaker 3: He's one of Myke's best friends, his brother.
Speaker 2: No right, good guess right?
Speaker 1: He uh he loves to see no, no, no, he
Speaker 1: loves to see you're getting warmer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's uh, he's a worker for sure. Uh.
Speaker 1: He's friends with Taylor Swift. Oh Joe, right, okay, yes,
Speaker 1: it's double j. It's double j. Yes, okay, that's right.
Speaker 1: Forgot about that.
Speaker 3: Joe at the wrestler. For people who are like lost
Speaker 3: right now, Jeff, you'rett the wrestler is involved in Acclaim
Speaker 3: coming back? Whatever the fuck? That for real? For real? What?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Like, why would I agree with that? Sound what? I
Speaker 3: don't have an answer for you.
Speaker 6: Look, I could never stop talking about video games, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you're joking, but like he he's okay, cool.
Speaker 3: That just do not stop going back and forth about
Speaker 3: Breath of the Wild like those two guys. Why not?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 6: Oh my god, Okay, we'll get to that in the news,
Speaker 6: all right, cool?
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh you know maybe uh, Jeff, Jared and I
Speaker 1: can can talk shop being co being coos together. You know,
Speaker 1: we have more stuff in common.
Speaker 6: Now, well, man, Hunter, you gotta talk, you know, let's
Speaker 6: speak CEOs, you.
Speaker 2: Know, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
Speaker 1: Of course, before we get to the Video Games Talk gang,
Speaker 1: we are presented by MSI and MSI is going to
Speaker 1: be at packs West this weekend. And if you are
Speaker 1: a part of our gang, the Giant BombCast John Bomb

Speaker 3: Do a case, not for God's sake, dance yeah, but
Speaker 3: for real, really do this.
Speaker 2: Because it'll make us look cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, please, so cool?
Speaker 1: Ye, don't don't do that.
Speaker 3: Don't do it.
Speaker 4: Don't show them your you're so cool shirt?
Speaker 3: That was your face on your shirt when you go there.
Speaker 2: Should I change this before I go to the dentist? No?
Speaker 3: No no. But also, you're not a lawing.
Speaker 4: If I put that together, I'm bypassing the Nova game. Okay,
Speaker 4: this motherfucker.
Speaker 1: Experience even more before we talk about video games. If
Speaker 1: you were like a medical professional, Mike walks into your office, right,
Speaker 1: and you see the shirt that says so cool, but
Speaker 1: it doesn't quite look like him, do you assume that
Speaker 1: he's like a SoundCloud rapper?
Speaker 6: Oh, medical professionals listen to SoundCloud rap? You think, yeah?
Speaker 2: Why not?
Speaker 3: What do you I mean? Those people probably are hurt
Speaker 3: a lot, right, so they talked to They ship.
Speaker 2: Their teeth for different reasons.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're always sleepy for some reason. I don't know
Speaker 3: what it is.
Speaker 4: Why would you think a doctor couldn't know what SoundCloud is?
Speaker 5: Because I don't really know what SoundCloud is, but it
Speaker 5: sounds like something for young people. And when I think
Speaker 5: about medical professionals, I picture a fifty eight year old
Speaker 5: dude with white hair and stethoscope.
Speaker 1: Damn, my doctor is younger than me, and it upsets me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess that does happen now, Yeah, my dad,
Speaker 5: there's a decade of people who.
Speaker 3: Could be doctor behind you.
Speaker 5: I went to I did the guessing game at the
Speaker 5: amusement park yesterday, you know where they guess your age
Speaker 5: and stuff. And we were trying to decide, okay, who
Speaker 5: among this group was me, Hansoon, Leovator, and Ben Reeves
Speaker 5: who could get win a prize by the pressing your
Speaker 5: age the wrongest.
Speaker 6: And I was like, I bet they're going to think
Speaker 6: I'm older than I am.
Speaker 5: And I went up and she guessed that I was
Speaker 5: forty seven, so I want, oh yeah, yes.
Speaker 4: The ultimate con pays off well done.
Speaker 6: By looking older than you are.
Speaker 3: I just did the math the treaking age year. It's
Speaker 3: two thousand and four. That is an insane number.
Speaker 2: You could be drinking and not. That's halo.
Speaker 1: Yeah huh man, yeah, alright, well yeah, it'sop By the aside,
Speaker 1: booth at PEX West.
Speaker 2: Please God good, wait to sandwich that Jan's I don't
Speaker 2: want anyone guessing my age. No one's good pro say
Speaker 2: I'm in my thirties. Thank you. Yeah, well you don't know.
Speaker 4: I think I think someone would guess you're like thirty
Speaker 4: five for sure.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it makes me.
Speaker 6: Look so much older.
Speaker 4: Tons, Dan, I don't want to answer that honestly with you,
Speaker 4: because I feel like you're gonna be man.
Speaker 5: I want to be an old man. I want this
Speaker 5: to go totally gray. I'm fine with that. So the
Speaker 5: beard and the gray that makes me.
Speaker 3: The way you dress, yeah, okay, okay, that's fine, that's fine,
Speaker 3: you dress on them. We're not talking about that, and
Speaker 3: we're talking about you.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Anyway, But last week, I I uh, last week was games,
Speaker 1: Calm Gang I guess we say so, well, I I
Speaker 1: do say so. We did do this podcast much earlier
Speaker 1: so we could talk over Jeff Keeley's European vacation birthday
Speaker 1: and uh. But before that, I went over to the
Speaker 1: Capcom offices in San Francisco to check over some of
Speaker 1: their games Calm demos, and I checked out only Musha
Speaker 1: Way of the Sword. Are any of y'all super like
Speaker 1: into the original only Musha games.
Speaker 3: I think all of us are in the same boat
Speaker 3: where we kind of were like that looks cool and
Speaker 3: never played it.
Speaker 2: Much like the idea of it.
Speaker 5: I'm glad it exists, didn't play the idea of Resident
Speaker 5: Evil was swords is great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this does not feel or look like that those
Speaker 1: original games at all, because this is the third person
Speaker 1: behind the back samurai style game. If I'm to compare
Speaker 1: it to any other game immediately, I guess we can
Speaker 1: go with the secu Ro comparison. Yes, that's not a
Speaker 1: bad one. It's not a bad one. But with seki
Speaker 1: Row and maybe the Souls games, there is like a
Speaker 1: feeling and I guess this depends on which class or
Speaker 1: how you spec out your character, but you feel very
Speaker 1: light on your feet. At least in secu Row you
Speaker 1: feel like a fleet footed samurai right like you. Jumping
Speaker 1: is a big part of it. With the grappling hook
Speaker 1: in Only Musha way of the sword you feel much heavier,
Speaker 1: So maybe you are kind of going for more of
Speaker 1: like a samurai feel, and there is you still have
Speaker 1: a soul suck button, so after you feed an enemy,
Speaker 1: they'll pop out some souls, and those souls will either
Speaker 1: fill up like your special meter or your your health
Speaker 1: and I forget what the blue souls are supposed to do.
Speaker 1: It feels really good despite only having two attack buns
Speaker 1: and like a third bonus attack bun, so you have
Speaker 1: a light attack and then you have a two handed
Speaker 1: attack and it feels pretty good. There is also a parry,
Speaker 1: of course, because you can't exist post twenty eighteen and
Speaker 1: not have a pery bun.
Speaker 3: Doc Kung Bonanza has a perry, So yeah, that was
Speaker 3: news to me yesterday.
Speaker 1: But it feels good with the hairy it's cool because
Speaker 1: if you were just holding the block because you could
Speaker 1: just block instead if you don't want to worry about pairing,
Speaker 1: if you are holding L one to block and then
Speaker 1: you press X at the right time of impact, you
Speaker 1: like deflect the attack instead, so you kind of like
Speaker 1: push the other person away. It was a very short
Speaker 1: demo and it feels like it's going to be fairly
Speaker 1: linear based off of the small section I played.
Speaker 2: But the fight.
Speaker 1: The neat thing is once you got the boss's health
Speaker 1: meter down or not health meters, sorry, they're kind of
Speaker 1: like their posture the other stagger meter up. You could
Speaker 1: you entered like uh like not a bullet time, but
Speaker 1: you could choose which section you wanted to apply the
Speaker 1: most damage to, so like kind of like you know
Speaker 1: in Samurai films where you would do like a vertical
Speaker 1: slice or horizontal slice through someone. You can choose like,
Speaker 1: oh do I want to slice the boss's head? Do
Speaker 1: I want to slash at their waist or maybe their sword?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Actually it's a lot like revengeance now that I'm thinking
Speaker 1: about it, or eternal darkness or eternal darkness, and I
Speaker 1: could see that playing a factor in like future boss
Speaker 1: fights or maybe bigger enemy encounters. I it it feels okay.
Speaker 1: I I don't know if it's maybe the Ari engine
Speaker 1: is showing its age a bit, but like I kind
Speaker 1: of would like for it to be moving a little
Speaker 1: bit faster. But maybe that's just because I have Sekiro
Speaker 1: in my brain when I'm seeing like a behind the
Speaker 1: back Samurai game.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, I mean because in Sekaro, like he's kind
Speaker 3: of he's a little bit of a samurai, but he's
Speaker 3: not like fully in Samurai, I supposed to be kind
Speaker 3: of big, slow and lumbering in terms of like they're
Speaker 3: not like fast little ninja guys, right, So yeah, I
Speaker 3: wonder if they're trying to lean into that make it
Speaker 3: feel big and heavy when you're moving.
Speaker 5: I mean, I as far as that feel, I always
Speaker 5: preferred like the Ninja Guiden feel to the Seki Roath thing,
Speaker 5: which is to say, like more of a traditional third
Speaker 5: person actionally right, versus the Frum style, which I like
Speaker 5: the Frum style.
Speaker 3: And everything versus Perry Slots.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Ninja Guiden Devil May Cry is more my speed,
Speaker 5: which is seeing the seeing the footage of only Musha
Speaker 5: is making me think it's for me.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it definitely lives between these games. It's kind of
Speaker 3: it's not doing any one of these games exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's just a matter of yeah, like
Speaker 2: you know, the Secro should no be uh Musha Samurai,
Speaker 2: and that's kind of the difference.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does not feel like it is going to
Speaker 1: be like a punishing game like the Soul's games could be.
Speaker 1: It feels like it is like riding that line well enough. Also,
Speaker 1: there is a couple of puzzles as well from an
Speaker 1: environmental stuff you can interact with, like in my demo,
Speaker 1: I like came across like a push cart and there's
Speaker 1: like a bun prompt and then I wound up like
Speaker 1: running over like four zombies with it, which was was
Speaker 1: pretty fun. The weird thing though, And I understand that
Speaker 1: we're doing English voice actors or feudal Japan, but I'm
Speaker 1: not sure why the main Japanese dude had a British accent.
Speaker 1: And for a second I thought it was Ben Starr.
Speaker 3: Oh, it could be they That's just a default, right
Speaker 3: if you're trying to have a a foreign language but
Speaker 3: still have them sound or speak in English, so it's
Speaker 3: always just a British accent. For some reason, that's what
Speaker 3: they did. I'm watching Chernobyl again because I need to
Speaker 3: feel something and that's what they do there for Russian,
Speaker 3: Like everyone's just has a British accent, Like.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah yeah uh anyway, uh moving on. I also
Speaker 1: got the chance to play Pragmata Grub you.
Speaker 4: Checked me that mega man, No Jesus Christ, Oh Mike,
Speaker 4: it's not grub.
Speaker 1: You got the chance to play this at Summer Game Fest, right,
Speaker 1: I did, Yes.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and I loved what I played. Kind of came
Speaker 3: back was like everyone's you know, it was like, I
Speaker 3: just want to hear about Resident Evil. I'm like, guys,
Speaker 3: but this Pragmata game, and Mike was just mega Man,
Speaker 3: Mega man, and I started to walk away from him,
Speaker 3: couldn't talk to even him about it. I'm glad you
Speaker 3: seem to like it as well.
Speaker 1: Oh, out of the three games I got to check
Speaker 1: out and spoilers, folks, I also got to check out
Speaker 1: Resident Evil Requiem, but Pragmata was my like little game
Speaker 1: of the three demos I played. Yeah, I was all
Speaker 1: about this. I was initially a little bummed out because
Speaker 1: I thought it would kind of be like a Vanquish,
Speaker 1: like because your dude has like knee jets like uh
Speaker 1: and everything, and you kind of get a little dash
Speaker 1: but you are a lot heavier and you have like
Speaker 1: a little AI computer robot girl riding on your back,
Speaker 1: and initially like, the shots don't your your gun doesn't
Speaker 1: do much. But that's where I forget her name. But
Speaker 1: the little robot girl in your back, yeah, she's just
Speaker 1: rolling with you. Okay, we'll call her role for the
Speaker 1: purposes of this podcast. Role can hack into your enemies
Speaker 1: and then you get like a little second game where
Speaker 1: you have to guide like a little pip to through
Speaker 1: two or three different markers and then eventually wind up
Speaker 1: at like a green marker. So you're kind of doing
Speaker 1: a little maze as you are shooting up these bad dudes,
Speaker 1: and it kind of reminds me of the world ends
Speaker 1: with you. Do you guys remember that the Yeah by
Speaker 1: the by creators of Kingdom Hearts, Yes.
Speaker 3: Yes, where.
Speaker 1: You kind of have to balance playing two different games
Speaker 1: at the same time to to get more damage off
Speaker 1: and and they cenize with each other. And I really
Speaker 1: liked how they managed to do it with this. Your
Speaker 1: guns have infinite AMMO, or at least your main one does,
Speaker 1: and you're picking up different guns that just map to
Speaker 1: different face buntons. It's pretty neat, I don't I kind
Speaker 1: of like this style of sci fi where it's like
Speaker 1: big honk and mechs mech suits, the whole little Girl
Speaker 1: in my Back thing. I'm not sure what to make
Speaker 1: of it. I kind of do wish Mike that it
Speaker 1: was a Mega Man game proper.
Speaker 2: You're west miic of true? Is it a bank like?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Because you're not moving as fast.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's definitely just a third person shooter like That's
Speaker 3: the thing about the game is it's a third person shooter.
Speaker 3: You kind of walk around, you are a bit lumbering
Speaker 3: because you are this guy in a big suit. I
Speaker 3: think it's on the Moon. I think it takes place
Speaker 3: on the moon, so you have like moon gravity, but
Speaker 3: you're still big and lumbering because you're so heavy. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and then what really makes it interesting is what Chance
Speaker 3: said is like they just add a little bit of
Speaker 3: shine to that combat where yeah, you got to shoot
Speaker 3: this guy, but you have to do this hacking minigame
Speaker 3: alongside that at the same time while you're still moving
Speaker 3: around trying to avoid getting hit, And it adds just
Speaker 3: enough to like to that very familiar act of pointing
Speaker 3: and shooting at something. Then I found it very refreshing.
Speaker 3: And then it like really helps The game looks very nice,
Speaker 3: and I think the characters are pretty cool so far.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it really worked for me. Jane.
Speaker 1: Yeah, as you're dealing with the maze, you can get
Speaker 1: different pickups that if you go across certain icons as
Speaker 1: you're finishing up your maze, they will do more damage
Speaker 1: to an enemy, or they'll do like maybe stasis or
Speaker 1: start like poisoning the enemy. It's really really neat and
Speaker 1: it looks really slick. I think it's actually to me
Speaker 1: at least, it felt like a better use of the
Speaker 1: Ari engine versus ODI Musha did. And last, but not least,
Speaker 1: the other game that I got the chance to play
Speaker 1: was Resident Evil Requiem.
Speaker 3: How big is that? How big is that big scary
Speaker 3: lady that chases you?
Speaker 2: She was real big?
Speaker 6: There's another big lady?
Speaker 2: Yeah, not the same time. It's not a sexy lady,
Speaker 2: but more like a big baby looking that like the
Speaker 2: actual big baby have before. I don't know, some kind
Speaker 2: of monster in a Metallica sense. Yes, it's it's.
Speaker 5: Funny expect that from Yeah, I've never heard say Metallica,
Speaker 5: much less reference to the documentary.
Speaker 2: I have a friend who is a giant Metaga.
Speaker 1: You're going to say you had a friend that is
Speaker 1: a giant lady?
Speaker 4: Slid that under the door there like that?
Speaker 2: Mikey, Yeah for you?
Speaker 1: And hey, Gang, I'm not the best uh at video
Speaker 1: games on our team. You know, I can handle my
Speaker 1: own the Holy smokes, I was dog.
Speaker 3: But were you? Were you too scared? Is that?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: Did it or what?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 1: I think like I'm used to kind of cheesing my
Speaker 1: way through some games and kind of like using eye
Speaker 1: frames and just like dodging through.
Speaker 3: And oh, you didn't have the knife parry.
Speaker 1: I did not have a knife parry. I merely had
Speaker 1: a bottle that I could throw, and I video game
Speaker 1: logic wasn't piecing it together that oh bottle kind of
Speaker 1: like hit Man, distract this lady, bottle at its face.
Speaker 3: Yes, if a bear was attacking the right move, Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's what I would do.
Speaker 1: If someone was chasing me and I had two empty bottles,
Speaker 1: I would throw the bottle.
Speaker 2: At their face.
Speaker 3: They might get discouraged.
Speaker 2: Yeah. See.
Speaker 1: And what didn't help me is that one of the mechanics,
Speaker 1: it seems like, is the big lady cannot chase you
Speaker 1: into a room full of light. Now, however, I timed
Speaker 1: this poorly because I nailed the big lady in the
Speaker 1: face with a fucking bottle straight in her noggin, and
Speaker 1: then she like recoiled and then went away. So I thought, oh,
Speaker 1: the bottles will make her go away off the room
Speaker 1: full of light.
Speaker 2: That's positive.
Speaker 3: Okay, So did you get a sense when you were
Speaker 3: playing this game of like the scale the scope, like
Speaker 3: did did do you have any suggestion of you're gonna
Speaker 3: move beyond the rooms that we've seen, Like, what senses
Speaker 3: did you get from? Like how big this game's gonna be.
Speaker 1: I'm not one hundred percent sure, especially after a little
Speaker 1: snippet we saw last week during Opening Night Live, because
Speaker 1: this felt like a very contained space that you're gonna
Speaker 1: move away from very quickly, just like how it felt
Speaker 1: like in that little snippet we saw where because that
Speaker 1: seems like a flashback of whatever's happening to the main.
Speaker 2: Care that mertle thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but something I did, like as I eventually
Speaker 1: switched it to third person, just because I prefer Resident
Speaker 1: Evil's third person, sure, and as I was running away
Speaker 1: from the big Lady, I kind of like realize, oh crap,
Speaker 1: I should grab an herb Resident Evil.
Speaker 2: There's an herb.
Speaker 1: So I kind of like whipped around and the main
Speaker 1: character had enough momentum that I fell.
Speaker 2: On the fucking floor.
Speaker 1: Oh So, I love small touches like that. I wonder
Speaker 1: if that would also carry over to the first person or
Speaker 1: that would be too jarring of an experience. Yeah, I wonder,
Speaker 1: But I like little details like that, So I think
Speaker 1: if I just immersed myself into whatever Roquim's got going
Speaker 1: on and kind of detached myself from my normal expectations
Speaker 1: of dealing with encounters.
Speaker 2: I'd really dig it.
Speaker 1: And then that small snippet it had all the plastic
Speaker 1: resident evil trappings of like, huh, there's this lock with
Speaker 1: an angel on it, I wonder what this needs.
Speaker 2: Oh shit, there's a key with an angel on it.
Speaker 2: I wonder what that opens.
Speaker 1: And then so you're going back and forth and then
Speaker 1: piecing it together quickly, except now you have this giant
Speaker 1: lady that is like a Nemesis like figure that you
Speaker 1: can't do much too, where otherwise don't throw a bottle
Speaker 1: at her, it doesn't do shit.
Speaker 2: Yet. Were you a little bit like, you know, being
Speaker 2: chased around this area by a giant master thing? Was
Speaker 2: it a little like, oh, we're doing this again?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: But I feel like with how the character was in
Speaker 1: this moment, in this part of the demo, you're kind
Speaker 1: of depowered in such a way where like, oh, you
Speaker 1: can't do anything, so uh. It isn't the normal resident
Speaker 1: evil trappings of like all right, shoot, shoot, shoot, all right,
Speaker 1: you're satisfied I've dumped enough bulletin to you, I can
Speaker 1: move on. I don't know, it is one hundred percent
Speaker 1: nailing the spooky vibes though, And for John mclaar's sake,
Speaker 1: I need that.
Speaker 5: I'm saying the Big Lady now, and I see what
Speaker 5: you're saying about the Big Lady. Yes, this is horrifying,
Speaker 5: but yeah, they've they've done that, I mean mister X
Speaker 5: in the remake, obviously the baby sequence and Village Lady Show.
Speaker 5: So it's like that is that has become kind of
Speaker 5: a thing in recent residuals.
Speaker 6: But like it does work. All those worked, you.
Speaker 3: Know, And I do get that, Like I get the
Speaker 3: sense that this moment that we're seeing a lot of
Speaker 3: from this game is one second, and that there will be,
Speaker 3: Like my guess is there's an alternative not competing, but
Speaker 3: like competing in terms of tone section where it'll be
Speaker 3: more action focused, because like tell me if I'm wrong, Jam,
Speaker 3: there's not a lot of ways for you to fight
Speaker 3: back in that demo, right.
Speaker 2: Zero no ways to fight back.
Speaker 3: You're just trying to survive, just trying to run away.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, like it like an Amnesia game.
Speaker 3: Oh sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, totally yes, but right, you
Speaker 3: don't have like you're not gonna be firing a gun
Speaker 3: as this character. But I bet they're not gonna make
Speaker 3: a whole game where you're that underpowered. They probably are
Speaker 3: gonna be like, no, we're gonna bounce back and forth. So, uh,
Speaker 3: I think they'll try to offer up a lot of
Speaker 3: variety there. So in this moment where youre getting chased
Speaker 3: by the big thing, do that here and then maybe
Speaker 3: offer up something fresh on the other side of that game.
Speaker 3: But that's a guess. I really don't know.
Speaker 1: I kept failing this demo and it got to the
Speaker 1: point where the kind capcom person behind me was like,
Speaker 1: you need any help, you need any tips.
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, no, no, no, I got it.
Speaker 3: I got it, I got it.
Speaker 1: I got I'm fine, don't don't reply.
Speaker 5: I think I would take that demo experience over like
Speaker 5: every Nintendo E three experience I ever had, or someone
Speaker 5: they hired like that day. But wow, that's the best
Speaker 5: I've ever seen anyone do that. Everyone jumps on that.
Speaker 6: That good.
Speaker 2: Wait they saw you that too. Yeah. Sorry.
Speaker 4: Sometimes they'll just be like you like Mario like something
Speaker 4: like that.
Speaker 3: I definitely like asked them a question about the game
Speaker 3: my first time. They are not knowing that, and I
Speaker 3: very quickly I'm like, yo, you guys, I'll just work
Speaker 3: for triple point.
Speaker 5: And then they do that whole legs about the game
Speaker 5: outside that just shut down they do.
Speaker 4: They do a bit of a moon walk where they're
Speaker 4: just like, let me yeah, and then that's the end
Speaker 4: of the conversation. Yeah, but you are really good at
Speaker 4: the game.
Speaker 6: Though no one's ever been better than you.
Speaker 1: H That being said, I finally got past the point
Speaker 1: I was having a lot of trouble with and normally Gang,
Speaker 1: I have a good sense of direction games. I ran
Speaker 1: the wrong fucking way and then like I just saw
Speaker 1: the poor CAPCOMs person like had just think of like,
Speaker 1: oh no, he's gonna do this.
Speaker 2: Have to do this again?
Speaker 1: Ship, Okay, games, you're only smart bat at games.
Speaker 3: Huh. Anyway, I eventually got past a game.
Speaker 7: The game looks fucking ship though, like humped, like big Lady,
Speaker 7: very scary, a lot of puss, a lot of scars,
Speaker 7: people look real dead in this game.
Speaker 2: Good.
Speaker 1: But but also this is this is like something against
Speaker 1: the horror trope in general.
Speaker 2: Gang.
Speaker 1: If you open up a closet door or a door
Speaker 1: and then a what appears to be a dead body
Speaker 1: falls out, Are you just gonna surmise that it's dead
Speaker 1: already and not check on it and just move on it?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean if it looks super dead like it
Speaker 6: usually does.
Speaker 2: I know what you're talking about because the theater presentation
Speaker 2: I did at Fess, it's like, yeah, it's the most
Speaker 2: dead thing ever. And she like takes its falls or
Speaker 2: something like he's dead, is out of it, suck it.
Speaker 2: It's like plus is shooting out of it.
Speaker 3: He's got two exes her eyes.
Speaker 4: It's been it's been done enough times over that trope
Speaker 4: of like, oh that body on the floor that's not moving,
Speaker 4: it's gonna crawl and wait.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you wouldn't get that information from taking the pulse, right,
Speaker 3: You're exactly right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if that happens to me, I'm grabbing the nearest
Speaker 1: stick like thing and just poking at it. Okay, that's what.
Speaker 2: We're gonna right right out of the building as well. Yes,
Speaker 2: I'd scream like a baby.
Speaker 1: Moving on to another game that is full of horrors,
Speaker 1: and the horrors are garbage, Dan, you've been playing Cheby Robo. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have.
Speaker 5: I'm two or three hours into it now, played a
Speaker 5: little more last night, and it's been like as far
Speaker 5: as first party Nintendo, it's like way way up there
Speaker 5: on ones that just.
Speaker 6: I have been always meaning to play.
Speaker 5: I never did, and I specifically was waiting for it
Speaker 5: to be on nso on switch to so finally playing.
Speaker 6: It, it is really good.
Speaker 5: But I am I'm kind of wrestling with I think
Speaker 5: what my expectations were for it. I think I thought
Speaker 5: it was more of a platformer like action game type thing.
Speaker 5: Everything about the screenshots and everything i'd seen or you know,
Speaker 5: they made those three DS games and stead of like
Speaker 5: Ziplash and stuff like that. It's like I just thought
Speaker 5: it was a three D platformer and I love the
Speaker 5: you know, little guy, big world thing, and so it's
Speaker 5: not what I thought it was.
Speaker 6: It is exploring.
Speaker 5: It is just kind of poking around at things, fiddling
Speaker 5: with things, talking to a character, seeing what they want,
Speaker 5: like oh, this lady needs a sugar cube for a coffee,
Speaker 5: and then later I'll find the sugar cube. It's like, oh,
Speaker 5: I know what to do with that. So it's almost
Speaker 5: like a puzzle exploration type game. And that's not a complaint,
Speaker 5: it's just I am kind of wrestling with, like how
Speaker 5: it's different than what I thought it was. But you
Speaker 5: know the look of it, the humor, the like it's
Speaker 5: it's nailing it on that. It's just it is just
Speaker 5: very different than what I thought it was going to be.
Speaker 3: Well, how is the like the resource management of like
Speaker 3: plugging yourself in? Like, is that something you you upgrade?
Speaker 3: Has that been satisfying? Has it been challenged to manage
Speaker 3: that stuff?
Speaker 5: It's good because like that's your upgrade as you're getting
Speaker 5: new batteries and stuff, and now I can't be out
Speaker 5: longer without having to plug in.
Speaker 6: That's great. I like being able to pick up my
Speaker 6: little plug and walk around with it.
Speaker 3: So that that sounds like a pretty decent loop.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5: And then it's like you can buy things like I
Speaker 5: don't know if there's a downside to doing this, but
Speaker 5: you can buy like a fifteen minute timer, which I
Speaker 5: believe just makes the day last longer before you have
Speaker 5: to like turn in for the night, so you can
Speaker 5: kind of have a more leisurely paced I don't know
Speaker 5: if there's a trade off for that or a reason
Speaker 5: you wouldn't just want the most the longest timer because
Speaker 5: like it's cheap to get that, so Yeah, it's like
Speaker 5: it's got a little bit of that Pickman kind of like, oh,
Speaker 5: I've got this much time for this day to get
Speaker 5: past done. But it's not as like, I don't want
Speaker 5: to say stressful for Pickman, but like it doesn't feel
Speaker 5: like the days matter as much. There's not like, oh,
Speaker 5: we all got to get back to the ship where
Speaker 5: we're going to die type thing. It's just like, Okay,
Speaker 5: well I'm going to go back to the TB machine
Speaker 5: or whatever.
Speaker 3: You know, is that the generation where internal system clocks
Speaker 3: like became a thing and developers just became animal with
Speaker 3: that animal crossing a crossing Seaman Seaman? Was that se Man?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, we should go back to that because animal
Speaker 5: crossing the day day night thing.
Speaker 6: I thought it was so cool.
Speaker 5: It was a night I couldn't sleep or whatever, and
Speaker 5: it's like three am and I'm walking around animal crossing
Speaker 5: and it's like, man, everyone's asleep except for all that
Speaker 5: little Porkeypine's hanging out fishing. I'll go talk to him, like,
Speaker 5: I thought that was so cool. And Seaman, everything about
Speaker 5: Seaman is perfect.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I wonder if that was like cheepy, robust, say,
Speaker 3: another one of these things like, we can do this now,
Speaker 3: should we? And I don't think it was.
Speaker 5: I think that this was more of the shinmu Akarina
Speaker 5: type of just like we have a day night cycle.
Speaker 6: I don't think it was tied to real clock stuff.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Would you consider dead Rising a part of that as well?
Speaker 1: Or is that that's just like yeah, but.
Speaker 5: I mean that's that's even a little more different because
Speaker 5: it's got such a finite. It's just like you got
Speaker 5: like thirty six hours or whatever, you know, so it's
Speaker 5: not like, oh, thirty days like.
Speaker 6: A pigment or something, you know.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I've always liked that if like games to
Speaker 5: play with that, and this one definitely does.
Speaker 2: But I like it a lot.
Speaker 6: I'm definitely gonna keep playing and beat it.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 5: It sounds like it's like a ten or twelve hour game,
Speaker 5: so yeah, let me keep moving with it now that yeah,
Speaker 5: do we know?
Speaker 3: This is the consensus is this is still the best
Speaker 3: one of the Chibi Robo series.
Speaker 5: I think definitely right, because it was just that three
Speaker 5: that Ziplash game, and then was there.
Speaker 2: Then there's one on the DS that people are like,
Speaker 2: and then all the other ones they don't like. So Okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think people definitely still like this one.
Speaker 5: The most situation there was Patrol on DS and Ziplash,
Speaker 5: which I don't even feelers considered like big real games
Speaker 5: or anything as far as I have heard, Like this
Speaker 5: is the GiB Robo game.
Speaker 3: They're like that two D Pickman game on the Pickman.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but no, it's really good. I mean
Speaker 5: the I love the character. He's just I would love
Speaker 5: to see more of these, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh you think tib Robos related to rob.
Speaker 5: He's in the bloodline, buddy, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Moving on to games that are completely different than what
Speaker 1: I thought they'd be. Jeff Grubb, based off the title
Speaker 1: Space Adventure Cobra The Awakening is not what I thought
Speaker 1: it'd be at all. Would you think it would be
Speaker 1: well based off of like the dude, I thought it
Speaker 1: would be like a FMV space adventure game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, good guess Yeah I thought that too. Actually, I
Speaker 3: totally get what you mean now. The reason we think
Speaker 3: that is a lot of the promotional material for this game,
Speaker 3: Space Adventure Cobra is FMV like movie sequences on Blue
Speaker 3: Game Ish. Yeah, yes, right, but it's like those are
Speaker 3: the cut scenes like a what's that Blue Legend of Blue,
Speaker 3: the old RPG thing that was on sagacy Mic that
Speaker 3: ring Lar Lunar, Yeah, sure, Lunar. Yeah. Lunar was like, okay,
Speaker 3: here's the game, and now you're going to go to
Speaker 3: the cut scene and the cut scene is an anime
Speaker 3: movie for a couple of minutes. They do that here.
Speaker 3: I think it's taking clips from this actual series and
Speaker 3: just like and then they're adapting the game to make
Speaker 3: those make sense. And those cut scenes are by far
Speaker 3: the best part of this game. It is a run
Speaker 3: and gun shooter that has a lot of like interesting,
Speaker 3: cool looking stuff. It just kind of feels super cheap.
Speaker 3: As soon as you're moving the character, you're like, oh,
Speaker 3: this was made on a budget. It reminds me a
Speaker 3: little bit of that Yars Rising game that I talked
Speaker 3: about last year, which was a pretty good version of
Speaker 3: one of these cheaper games of like, we're gonna at
Speaker 3: least make sure that the controls feel okay. It's not
Speaker 3: going to feel spectacular. This is not Metroid Dread, but
Speaker 3: it's going to feel okay to move around and satisfactory
Speaker 3: for a Metroid Venus style of game. Here, it's like
Speaker 3: I immediately fell through the world, like in the first
Speaker 3: obstacle I found and got stuck when I am trying
Speaker 3: to like move my character and aim, the character like
Speaker 3: is kind of moving back and forth because I'm just
Speaker 3: trying to aim the stick like up, and it just
Speaker 3: will not accept that I'm just trying to aim straight
Speaker 3: up and that that feels really bad. But then you
Speaker 3: do the cool arm cannon thing, and this guy has
Speaker 3: an arm cannon and you can guide the shot around
Speaker 3: and like hit all the enemies, and if you hit
Speaker 3: four or more enemies in this moment where it freezes
Speaker 3: the game and you tag them all, he does a
Speaker 3: cool little cut scene there where he like shoots everything
Speaker 3: and the guy comes on the screen and has a
Speaker 3: cool face, and that's it's a neat style. It just
Speaker 3: the game is not very very good. It's just not
Speaker 3: very fun to play, and it's a shame because I
Speaker 3: just think everything else about it looks awesome. These FMB
Speaker 3: sequences do rule like it really is a cool style,
Speaker 3: a good feeling. I just kind of wish more games
Speaker 3: would go this direction of having actual animated cut scenes
Speaker 3: that look like a cartoon or an anime as opposed
Speaker 3: to everything being in game, which I understand is more affordable,
Speaker 3: or even if like they are doing like the Dragon
Speaker 3: Ball Fighters Z style where it's like, oh, this looks
Speaker 3: like the cartoon, It's like yeah, but in the cut
Speaker 3: scenes they could do even more and I miss that.
Speaker 3: So having again like this is neat. I just it
Speaker 3: just doesn't hold up to any real scrutiny in its gameplay.
Speaker 1: Moving on to another two D game that seems to
Speaker 1: be all about it and then so Shanobi Are to Vengeance.
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh so I started this this morning and I
Speaker 3: immediately thought to myself, holy shit.
Speaker 2: This rules.
Speaker 3: Yes, one of the best feeling games of the year.
Speaker 1: Now I need to draw the comparison to our game
Speaker 1: of the Year last year, Prince Persia. Where does the
Speaker 1: line up in terms of feeling good?
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I'm like, out of the gate, it like
Speaker 3: already feels a little bit better than that, even in
Speaker 3: terms of moving the character around.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because it's much more action forward to right. I mean,
Speaker 4: it's definitely an action game.
Speaker 3: Yes, so uh A lot of that comes from the
Speaker 3: blending of animations of moving from one thing right into another,
Speaker 3: and they really nail that. There's a thing you could
Speaker 3: do where you attack an enemy and you immediately go
Speaker 3: into a role and so that attack becomes a sort
Speaker 3: of rolling, jumping forward attack, so you can kind of
Speaker 3: really keep the pressure on the enemy, like you're about
Speaker 3: to kill this guy, so do that role attack and
Speaker 3: get to the guy behind him and just keep your
Speaker 3: combo going. And it feels like a real fighting game
Speaker 3: combo in that moment, but also super easy to pull off.
Speaker 3: So it's just doubly satisfying. And then it just it
Speaker 3: looks fantastic. Every character portrait looks incredible. I'm really impressed
Speaker 3: with what I played so far, which is about the
Speaker 3: first hour or so.
Speaker 4: Yeah, everything looks like hand drawn right, like all the
Speaker 4: backgrounds and stuff. And they do a really interesting thing
Speaker 4: where they when you're beating up enemies that you enter
Speaker 4: this sort of like finishing mode where you can take
Speaker 4: out like a little icon go signals above their head,
Speaker 4: and you can take out like multiple enemies with this
Speaker 4: finishing maneuver that will reward you with a bunch of
Speaker 4: you know, coins or health improvements and whatnot. But it's
Speaker 4: like it seems it also seems a little easy right
Speaker 4: now at the start, But I mean, I was super
Speaker 4: into it. I think something was going on where it
Speaker 4: was like kind of chugging a little bit and we're.
Speaker 3: Playing.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, so I think I maybe it might have
Speaker 4: been like a windowed versus full screen thing issue or
Speaker 4: something like that.
Speaker 2: I started up on my Rock Gully X last night.
Speaker 2: What you guys should be proud of me for? I know,
Speaker 2: I was whining about and I was like, wait a second,
Speaker 2: that's stupid great here. Yeah, it worked really well on
Speaker 2: the Rock Gully X. Gosh, it's such a pretty game.
Speaker 2: I liked those old Shnoby games a lot, and I'm
Speaker 2: actually kind of impressed by how much they're doing their
Speaker 2: own thing in a lot of ways here. Those old
Speaker 2: Shannoby games are almost kind of running guns. It's mostly
Speaker 2: about throwing the CANi, right, It's mostly about those range attacks.
Speaker 2: You still have those here, and they work them.
Speaker 3: The pick up though, Yeah, it's like a it's a resource.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's like they're very good at kind of
Speaker 2: doing the stager stuff more than doing damage almost. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's very much more about that melee combat and how
Speaker 2: satisfying that feels, and just unlocking all these new combos
Speaker 2: and things like that. But you know, even even just
Speaker 2: it's so good. Look in that second level, you're riding
Speaker 2: on your woof and there's this incredible sense of speed
Speaker 2: and just action.
Speaker 3: It's brimming with energy and like just the movement system
Speaker 3: is so good doing that role move. If you roll
Speaker 3: into like a box like a hip hie cover or whatever,
Speaker 3: it just immediately rolls into it and does like a
Speaker 3: handspring a kip up up over the box in such
Speaker 3: an awesome looking way. That's where like all of the
Speaker 3: animations blend into another, so perfectly cool, and it looks animated,
Speaker 3: it looks like it was hand drawn, like down to
Speaker 3: the every frame of you move around like it's not like, oh,
Speaker 3: this is an interactive thing. It's it's that fluid. And
Speaker 3: then yeah, I've found the sort of that kinetic energy
Speaker 3: to be brimming everywhere. Just every part of the game
Speaker 3: feels like, Okay, I cannot wait to go get into
Speaker 3: this fight that looks really good. And yeah, it holds
Speaker 3: up really well.
Speaker 1: Other than you know, the focus kind of being more
Speaker 1: melee combat versus who and I does this feel similar
Speaker 1: to old Shenobi games are completely different.
Speaker 2: There's there's some stuff recognizable. Yeah, yeah, it's definitely still recognizable.
Speaker 2: I mean you are Joe, which is important. I like
Speaker 2: being a ninja named Joe. It's good and like just
Speaker 2: like certain moves, like you kind of have that die
Speaker 2: kick ability from Shanoby three that I like a lot,
Speaker 2: and I'm throwing that in there here. Yeah, it feels
Speaker 2: so freaking good, just just just pulling that thing out.
Speaker 2: And you know, some of the stuff you're doing with
Speaker 2: the wall calmbing whatnot, you had that before. But yeah,
Speaker 2: so it's like there's enough of that. It's not like, well,
Speaker 2: they completely reinvented it, but it is definitely not Beholden.
Speaker 2: It's not trying to be a Mega Man nine of Shanoby.
Speaker 2: It's it's definitely moving the series.
Speaker 3: It's it's it's super modernized, like that is the first
Speaker 3: and foremost most it is modernized. And then it kind
Speaker 3: of tax on Shnoby stuff where it makes sense and
Speaker 3: will make it feel like Shenoby. But it was the
Speaker 3: right call for this series. If I want to p
Speaker 3: old Schnoby, I'll go back to old Shanoby. Let's make
Speaker 3: this new initiative of Sega bringing back these games feel like, hey,
Speaker 3: these games should be coming out today, like they can
Speaker 3: live up to that expectation.
Speaker 5: That sounds kind of like how I felt about Rage Bound,
Speaker 5: where it's like it doesn't feel like it was a
Speaker 5: nostalgia thing as much as it was like if a
Speaker 5: new Ninja Guiden was made today.
Speaker 6: I agree, you played both rage Bound and Shanoby.
Speaker 3: I'd beat rage Bound, and playing this, I mean, it's
Speaker 3: it's gonna be tough for me to choose. They're both awesome.
Speaker 3: I really love rage Bound. I think just that that
Speaker 3: that PEMPSI challenge of you take that first sip and
Speaker 3: how good does something feel. Shanoby definitely wins there. Let's
Speaker 3: see if like it lives up to the long term gameplay.
Speaker 3: I bet it will. But I really like Ninja Guid
Speaker 3: in structure and those boss fights were so good. We'll
Speaker 3: see how this. Like, if I get like three or
Speaker 3: four boss fights in and I'm having that same feeling,
Speaker 3: maybe the edge will go to Shanoby. But it's awesome
Speaker 3: that we get both.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's the you know, they're obviously similar in
Speaker 2: a lot of ways, but like not as much as
Speaker 2: you would even think. I think they're both beautiful look
Speaker 2: twot games. But Ninja Guidan's going for a pixel art. Look,
Speaker 2: and it's incredible pix art. This is doing hand drawn gosh.
Speaker 2: I just it's something we had to of these amazing
Speaker 2: Ninja games come back. I think next we should just
Speaker 2: get like Ninja guid In Cross Shanobi Cross Strider. Let's
Speaker 2: get everybody playing with each other or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and throwing raygar for the fun of it.
Speaker 2: Sure, I don't know what Isladiator cross. Yeah. Vector, you
Speaker 2: guys a vector man, I'm gonna sega stand. I don't
Speaker 2: get it. I don't get this vector man.
Speaker 3: You don't get it.
Speaker 2: You're not with the ve Yeah, just don't get it.
Speaker 2: It's okay, Mikey, It's okay. But you know what you
Speaker 2: do get.
Speaker 1: You do get my potential love and fascination for raccoons
Speaker 1: pushing coins and push Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's checking this out on a mega man Monday evening
Speaker 2: gaming at Mike's at night yesterday. This is an early
Speaker 2: play test thing, so it's not a we're close to
Speaker 2: the full game, but I was definitely having a good time.
Speaker 2: It's very much a Bilotro like in many ways, like
Speaker 2: it's a roguelike, very much in the style of like,
Speaker 2: what's a kind of more normal game that's not even
Speaker 2: really a video game that we can just add rogue
Speaker 2: like elements to even art style wise and music wise,
Speaker 2: it's evoking a lot of that, and just the kind
Speaker 2: of way you're getting upgrades where you know, some of
Speaker 2: them are permanent and some of them are these single
Speaker 2: use items stuff like that. But yeah, you know, it's
Speaker 2: just one of those coin pushers and you're shooting out
Speaker 2: coins and you're getting special coins like the rabbits where
Speaker 2: if you get two rapid coins, yeah, they'll bang and
Speaker 2: make more rapid coins, and that's okay. But you could
Speaker 2: maybe figure out situations where what if I can get
Speaker 2: a bunch of rabbit coins and they just keep on
Speaker 2: baiting and breeding. There's more breeding in this game than
Speaker 2: in that Horse Girl game.
Speaker 1: Somehow, Mike Manatti, do not associate filth with the Horse
Speaker 1: Girl game.
Speaker 2: That is pure. I'm saying it wasn't this. I'm saying
Speaker 2: there's more breeding here. It's fine, it's fine.
Speaker 6: Just stop saying breeding.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel better about that too, all right.
Speaker 2: God fuddy. Like one point, I got a really good
Speaker 2: combo going where there was these like plant coins. If
Speaker 2: you get water coins on them, they grow into coin trees.
Speaker 2: I was just getting a situation where I was just
Speaker 2: making a ton of each and it was just an
Speaker 2: explosion of these giant coin trees and my literally the
Speaker 2: board was overflowing and so on many coins were dropping in.
Speaker 2: It felt so.
Speaker 3: Good, man, that description just like made my skin crawl
Speaker 3: with the need to play this game. And that's bad. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now with the play test, it's like each game only
Speaker 2: has ten rounds, and they even say there will be
Speaker 2: more rounds in the full game. I kind of wish.
Speaker 2: I know it's a play test, but I want more
Speaker 2: rounds here because right now it's it was pretty easy.
Speaker 3: Even when I.
Speaker 2: Didn't have something going, I felt like I could quote
Speaker 2: unquote beat it or get to ten rounds. I wasn't
Speaker 2: getting a good sense of is this how hard the
Speaker 2: game is? Am I just getting really lucky? Am I
Speaker 2: playing better than I think I am? Or is the
Speaker 2: final game like, oh, there's gonna be two more rounds
Speaker 2: and that Those are the really challenging ones where you
Speaker 2: got to really make sure you have a synergy because
Speaker 2: off like Bolocho, where first you're actually playing a coin pusher,
Speaker 2: it's like a blotro. First you're actually thinking about playing poker.
Speaker 2: Then you realize you can't have to turn it into
Speaker 2: some other game by the end if you really want
Speaker 2: to make it to the finish line.
Speaker 1: I know that Local Funk is the dev of Blotro, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know that they've expressed that they never want this
Speaker 1: to Blotro to reach casinos. But I will say, based
Speaker 1: off of Playstax record right now, I would go to
Speaker 1: a place that casino.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think rack coin should end up not like
Speaker 3: real casinos, but no, no, like the dirtyle like like
Speaker 3: pizza parlors that have like coin pushers and like real
Speaker 3: money gambling in the back room. It should be there.
Speaker 3: That's where, and that's not a pejorative. That's a good thing.
Speaker 5: I'm thinking about slop machines lately, and also in the
Speaker 5: same way, Jane, I think you might.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, definitely hope no flight gets diverted to
Speaker 1: Las Vegas again. Because speaking about furry creatures, Jeff Grubb,
Speaker 1: you were hurting a bunch of furry creatures named after
Speaker 1: all of us last week with hurdling. Yeah, first question, Grub,
Speaker 1: first question, please, Yeah, is this a hurdy gurdy?
Speaker 3: Like I think it's a hurdy gurdy, like, yeah, a
Speaker 3: little bit, it's about hurting big animals and it's very
Speaker 3: vibes based, like that's the it's like, hey, we're gonna
Speaker 3: set a tone and it's going to have that cozy
Speaker 3: feeling of just like moving through pastoral settings. And it
Speaker 3: works on that front, like it is very nice, and
Speaker 3: then I think it has pretty decent pacing. Its something
Speaker 3: we kept noticing where it's like, Okay, you're going to
Speaker 3: be in this space for ten to fifteen minutes, move
Speaker 3: these big lumbering beast through these tough spaces and I'll
Speaker 3: explain how you do that here in a second. And
Speaker 3: then you know it's going to get a little bit
Speaker 3: more challenging or there will be something that kind of
Speaker 3: increases the drama or the intensity, like a big out
Speaker 3: looking bird who will attack you if you knock over
Speaker 3: too many of these sort of like straw man standing
Speaker 3: in this field. And it's like, once once get past that,
Speaker 3: we're going to give you a chance to just run
Speaker 3: down this mountain with all of your beasts and it's
Speaker 3: going to be beautiful and now you're gonna be able to
Speaker 3: see the beautiful snow caps of this mountain. It's just
Speaker 3: going to be the coolest looking thing ever. And it's like,
Speaker 3: it's really good about that of being in one position
Speaker 3: and then switching it up and giving you something fresh
Speaker 3: ten to fifteen minutes later. I also do like the
Speaker 3: way you control this game, where you are you're just
Speaker 3: this child and you have I think I'm up to
Speaker 3: like ten of these calicorns. I think they're called which
Speaker 3: I did name after all of you guys are all
Speaker 3: very very good. For the most part, you control them
Speaker 3: by like you would hurting animals. You just kind of
Speaker 3: stand behind them and you sort of got an angle
Speaker 3: in the direction that you want them to face. So
Speaker 3: if like you're behind them, you want to get back
Speaker 3: to the left to get them to move forward into
Speaker 3: the right. And if you're in a big open space,
Speaker 3: you can hold down the right trigger button and then
Speaker 3: slap it again. And as long as all of your
Speaker 3: characters have eaten recently, they can sprint in and go
Speaker 3: down the field and go very fast, and part of
Speaker 3: the game is finding these places where they can feed
Speaker 3: or whatever. All that just feels really nice and I
Speaker 3: think it's really working, especially knowing that the game is
Speaker 3: about four hours long. So I played it for an
Speaker 3: hour and a half everyone set up. It was about
Speaker 3: in according to the achievements. I was about halfway done
Speaker 3: with the game, Like, yeah, this is a single or
Speaker 3: double sitting game, and I think it's the perfect sort
Speaker 3: of setup for that. So I don't think it's going
Speaker 3: to outstay. It's welcome, and yeah, I really enjoyed what
Speaker 3: I played with it.
Speaker 1: I was a lovely expedition that you went on with
Speaker 1: Sean and all the other furry creatures, just like the
Speaker 1: expedition you've been going on Jeff Grive with Claire Obscure
Speaker 1: Expedition thirty three.
Speaker 3: I'm on my way to the Patress right now. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's the kind of think I'm nearing you, dude. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I definitely got it. You know, it's running well enough
Speaker 3: on the steam Deck now that I can really fit
Speaker 3: into the time with that game. So yeah, there something
Speaker 3: or do you just change settings updated? I didn't change
Speaker 3: any settings really. Maybe I lowered the resolution or something
Speaker 3: like that, but whatever, it's working well enough. It doesn't
Speaker 3: look great on the steam Deck, but it plays fine
Speaker 3: and looks good enough that I'm okay with it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm at a point now where it's like I did
Speaker 3: not realize how silly this game is and not just like,
Speaker 3: oh the silly French stuff, Like no, I knew the
Speaker 3: mimes were in there, and I knew like there was
Speaker 3: a lot of like French aspects of that. There is
Speaker 3: just like jokes that feel very similar to like JRPGs
Speaker 3: in general, of these characters just kind of goofing off
Speaker 3: with one another or or like when they have their
Speaker 3: have the conversations and you're doing the relationship connections. Yeah,
Speaker 3: those conversations are so silly, and it's just like, oh,
Speaker 3: they are not just doing French humor. They're also just
Speaker 3: doing humor that is consistent with this genre of role
Speaker 3: playing of people like friends sitting around a table and
Speaker 3: joking around despite the fact that there's this world threatening,
Speaker 3: a threat that is that is always surrounding them. And
Speaker 3: I just found oh, yeah, this does feel like it
Speaker 3: is of a kind with this entire space and I
Speaker 3: don't know, it feels like kind of homie and familiar.
Speaker 2: That's yeah, that's kind of thing. You know. We talk
Speaker 2: a lot about how this is maybe more accessible to
Speaker 2: people who don't love JRPG's, and it's you know, maybe
Speaker 2: a bit more return than that, but it's derothly not
Speaker 2: as shamed of no, yeah, of that genre and is
Speaker 2: evoking it constantly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, it's it feels very proud.
Speaker 1: Of what it is, uh like in my time through
Speaker 1: Expedition thirty three and I enjoyed all of it, easily
Speaker 1: Top three for this year for sure.
Speaker 2: It made me.
Speaker 1: Curious to try and go back to Balder's Gate three
Speaker 1: because that's a different type of RPG completely. But Mike,
Speaker 1: you you beat Baldersk three, right, Yeah, But the level
Speaker 1: of relationships not is more in depth in Balder's Gate
Speaker 1: three than it is in Expedition thirty three.
Speaker 2: I'm assuming, yes, But like.
Speaker 1: In comparison, is it is it just like heavier on
Speaker 1: the relationship side, like because I kind of don't want
Speaker 1: to invest too much in virtual people.
Speaker 2: But I think you could decide right like that why
Speaker 2: that stuff happens at camp and you kind of have
Speaker 2: to go up and talk to them. You don't have
Speaker 2: to engage with much of that if you want to.
Speaker 2: Now there's kind of side quest and whatnot.
Speaker 3: Well, you don't even add these people to your party
Speaker 3: in the first place if you don't want.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean there is a way to play
Speaker 2: that game without any those people. Right, I'm a lone
Speaker 2: wolf wave going about it.
Speaker 3: We're talking about balders Gate, Okay, okay, but I am.
Speaker 3: I totally get it, get what people see in this game,
Speaker 3: and I think that it is walking that line of
Speaker 3: yes being for people who might be scared off from
Speaker 3: JRPGs and yet still doing almost all of the j
Speaker 3: RPG stuff and in some cases doing that stuff better
Speaker 3: than any game's done it before. I just continue to
Speaker 3: be so excited to get into the next combat situation
Speaker 3: so I can continue learning these characters and discovering new synergies. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's it's delivered in every way.
Speaker 2: Fantastic, fantastic. Another game that it seemed like all of
Speaker 2: us enjoyed that we streamed on the website last week
Speaker 2: was abyss Us. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think we all enjoyed it in a way that
Speaker 5: like I could use more games where it's just like, yeah,
Speaker 5: that was fun.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna be like, I don't think it's gonna
Speaker 5: be on my top ten list of the year or whatever.
Speaker 5: I don't think it's terrible. I just think it was
Speaker 5: a fun time. I was just running around. Everything felt good.
Speaker 6: And playing it. It's a four player I think max co.
Speaker 5: Op, Rogue light, some like Haites type elements, and yeah,
Speaker 5: it's you know, finding a treasure chest in an area,
Speaker 5: picking between a couple of different upgrades, or like okay, i'm
Speaker 5: gonna get wind power, I'm going to get ice power,
Speaker 5: and things like that. And I think most importantly, just
Speaker 5: immediately playing it felt fun. I think gives you the
Speaker 5: double jump right away, and is there if you have
Speaker 5: a shot and you can almost do like a triple jump.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's a dash as well.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and also you know when you have such
Speaker 1: a good teammate like you Dan.
Speaker 6: I'm here for the team. I'm just here for the team.
Speaker 2: I was. I was really enjoying it. I think I
Speaker 2: want to play some more. Maybe I'll get my brothers
Speaker 2: into it. I also really liked there was kind of
Speaker 2: hints at and it was getting more complicated as we
Speaker 2: went on. Almost that reminded me of Rating and Destiny, right,
Speaker 2: like some kind of more mechanics like that with these bosses.
Speaker 2: And I was like, okay, I'm got Everything's not just
Speaker 2: a bullet sponge. There's stand on panels. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's one of those games where we'd
Speaker 3: like to play them on stream and then but this
Speaker 3: does feel like one we might go back to a
Speaker 3: couple of times, and I think what it is, it
Speaker 3: doesn't get in its own way.
Speaker 2: They're all easy to get into.
Speaker 3: The multiplayer all just worked. We were in there. It
Speaker 3: felt like we were all making progress on our own
Speaker 3: characters that will continue. I don't think I got any
Speaker 3: sense that that stuff wasn't going to carry over. So yeah,
Speaker 3: just all everything they were doing was like, Yes, this
Speaker 3: feels like a game that is happy to have you
Speaker 3: play it and it's going to facilitate that.
Speaker 5: I think that right away it all felt good with
Speaker 5: just the basics, like here's just the one gun you
Speaker 5: can pick, here's your double jump and stuff. And so
Speaker 5: the fact that it starts with that foundation that's really
Speaker 5: good already. And then you kind of take a glimpse
Speaker 5: at like the skill tree and it looks pretty you know.
Speaker 3: Seven the seven guns that we have an unlocked year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's like, I think it does a really
Speaker 5: good job of like starting good, but then you know,
Speaker 5: it gives you that taste and then it's like, oh,
Speaker 5: but you can get all this stuff it makes me
Speaker 5: want to keep playing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, also just like you know, yeah, the game started
Speaker 2: really quickly, but we were just in an interesting world.
Speaker 2: But it didn't fill the knee of starting with like,
Speaker 2: you know, an opening cutscene or an opening slide show,
Speaker 2: like here's the world you want. It used to be
Speaker 2: a good place and now it's a bad place, right, Like, No,
Speaker 2: I'll learn about this world a little bit as I
Speaker 2: play it, and it's mostly just important that it looks
Speaker 2: cool and it's neat.
Speaker 1: If you were to describe to someone like what the
Speaker 1: vibe of the world is or look of the world,
Speaker 1: how would you phrase it for them?
Speaker 3: It's it's like very diet BioShock, right, like, yeah, sprinkled
Speaker 3: in yeah, with.
Speaker 6: Some demon metal rock stuff going on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, definitely. Yeah. You know, it's like sweat, right, wet, maternal, It.
Speaker 1: Could be wetter, it could bend, always be wetter, it
Speaker 1: could always be wetter.
Speaker 6: Guys are sick sort of the seat. That's a pretty
Speaker 6: wet game if you're playing right, it's wet as hell.
Speaker 1: God, the little the balances you can do later in
Speaker 1: that game. So fucking fun, very pleasant game. Another very
Speaker 1: pleasant game.
Speaker 2: Gang.
Speaker 1: This is the big game of this week, a couple
Speaker 1: of us have been playing it. Holy smokes. There's a
Speaker 1: quick look on the website now go check that out,
Speaker 1: but you should also listen to us talk about it now.
Speaker 2: Metal Gear Solid Delta.
Speaker 5: I beat this game. I did that event in New York,
Speaker 5: played through most in one sitting. I have talked a
Speaker 5: lot about Metal Your Solid on this website. I am
Speaker 5: curious to hear about the others playing it. Yeah, first
Speaker 5: time or it's both repeat times, right, repeat times.
Speaker 2: It's like my third or fourth time through the game now,
Speaker 2: and like in some ways that's almost as wa. It's like, okay,
Speaker 2: like I am pretty familiar with this game, so it's like,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, it does in always feel like I am
Speaker 2: just playing this game again. Now. The good news is
Speaker 2: that you know that game is Metal Gear Solid three.
Speaker 2: It is one of my favorite games, and it still
Speaker 2: does just feel so well and it's it's so interesting
Speaker 2: because there are quality of life things like it is
Speaker 2: wild up before you know. It's just it's a different time.
Speaker 2: We weren't ready readying their gun with L and shooting
Speaker 2: with R. There was actually many more steps yeah involved
Speaker 2: with that sort of thing. You're just having the confirm button,
Speaker 2: Bona having things like the Crouch walk from later games
Speaker 2: stuff like that.
Speaker 5: Not just the Crouch walk, there's also the dedicated like
Speaker 5: sneaky button with L where it's like, you know, the
Speaker 5: sneak walk for creeping up for you see.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, but you know, aside from like some of
Speaker 2: that quality life stuff and like some of the UI improvements,
Speaker 2: like the fast selection for the radio, that's nice. It's
Speaker 2: just that game and it's impressive, being like, man, this
Speaker 2: PS two game was doing a lot with this intricate,
Speaker 2: intricate CAMO system in this stat C QC combat and
Speaker 2: all these weird little interactions you can almost sort of
Speaker 2: just stumble upon in this really kind of fun story. Gosh,
Speaker 2: it's still just such a good game. So, you know,
Speaker 2: the graphical updates are really nice. They're almost not that
Speaker 2: necessary to me. I don't mind playing this game with
Speaker 2: those PS two models just running at sixty freeks per
Speaker 2: second that we've had before, but now this is here, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'll play it this way going forward. Sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: There were a couple of times when I would have
Speaker 1: like my camel on and I would actively actually lose
Speaker 1: Snake for a second, even though he's like right smack
Speaker 1: dab in the middle, just because it looks so much
Speaker 1: better now. This is maybe only my second time playing
Speaker 1: through mal Gear Solid three, just because after playing through
Speaker 1: the original and the PS two, I'm like, well, I
Speaker 1: don't need to revisit that, just because it was so
Speaker 1: so freaking good. If anything, I'm with you, Mike, I
Speaker 1: this it feels great in the qualities of life changes.
Speaker 1: I am so excited for people that haven't checked out
Speaker 1: MGS three to be able to check this out because
Speaker 1: I think in my personal ranking of the mail Gear
Speaker 1: Solid games, I think it's five, then three, then two
Speaker 1: for me sure, And this just has so much zany
Speaker 1: things that I don't know why. Maybe as a kid,
Speaker 1: I didn't question how far above its weight it was punching,
Speaker 1: and I don't know, it just felt like it was
Speaker 1: in a different class all in itself that games to
Speaker 1: this day still aren't I don't even want to say
Speaker 1: brave enough to do, but like willing to do and
Speaker 1: extend and reach in terms of like story and gameplay
Speaker 1: of like let's just be batshit insane.
Speaker 5: It's weird in a way that Triple A games rarely are.
Speaker 5: And I think when you do it's something like a
Speaker 5: desk stranding, and it's like, oh, I wonder why that's
Speaker 5: Also like that, I saw some discourse popping up around
Speaker 5: this game that kind of reminds me of how people
Speaker 5: talked about the Shadow of the Clossus remake, where it's like,
Speaker 5: you know, it's like the dream like visuals and it's
Speaker 5: got kind of cleaned up and sterilized and things like that. Namely,
Speaker 5: I saw a thing that get retweeted and or reposted
Speaker 5: a bunch of the saluting scene and someone said like,
Speaker 5: look how they massacred my boy. And I will say
Speaker 5: that was the only time I kind of noticed the
Speaker 5: visual upgrades, not in a negative way, but like in
Speaker 5: a way where it's like that original shot of him
Speaker 5: saluting is so iconic, and it's like got all that
Speaker 5: kind of you know, the the rays coming through, and
Speaker 5: there's there is a bit of a dream like look
Speaker 5: to that scene, and it is very just like, you know, unreal,
Speaker 5: you know, looking just like a guy standing or saluting
Speaker 5: in this one. But I did think that that discourse
Speaker 5: was a little blown out of proportion, because that is
Speaker 5: literally the only I played through Snake Eater a million times.
Speaker 6: It's one of my top ten games of all time,
Speaker 6: maybe top five.
Speaker 5: That sound looks objectively better in every other scene, and
Speaker 5: I think the saluting scene is just the one that
Speaker 5: looks a little like, oh wow, this looks significantly different
Speaker 5: in a way that I wouldn't expect.
Speaker 3: Yeah you noticed it is what you said, And I noticed.
Speaker 3: That's kind of enough right to be like, Okay, there's
Speaker 3: something here. Yeah.
Speaker 2: That's how I always feel about those, because I mean,
Speaker 2: it's come up with Shot of the Clousets, that came
Speaker 2: up with the Demon Soul's remakes, and I'm always like
Speaker 2: they have a point in it. It also doesn't really
Speaker 2: bother me that.
Speaker 3: Yeah it bothers me for Shadow of the Colossus, but
Speaker 3: I not so much that it's like, well they shouldn't
Speaker 3: have done that, Like, yeah, it just I prefer the original.
Speaker 6: They really cleaned up Lyndon B. Johnson in this one.
Speaker 3: Okay, I want filthy Linden.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah, yeah, Dan, you you showed it off
Speaker 1: in the quick Look. It's just like this game just
Speaker 1: does so many odd fun little things of like, well,
Speaker 1: what happens if I were to spin my character around
Speaker 1: a bunch and then exit out after he just ate?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 7: Shit, he's puking.
Speaker 5: Yeah, why is singing when I call him here talking
Speaker 5: about his nightmare about poop tanks to choot poop missiles
Speaker 5: and turn everything into poop?
Speaker 6: You know, why do I have a nightmare? That's a
Speaker 6: completely different game.
Speaker 5: And the fact that they like all of that weird
Speaker 5: shit is in this, like every one of those, you know,
Speaker 5: saving during the end fight and coming back a week later,
Speaker 5: all that stuff. Like that's a lot of the personality
Speaker 5: of this game and the legacy, and like this is
Speaker 5: very faithful to that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just made me feel bad because I realized
Speaker 2: I have not called signet yet at all.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I once you know what you're doing, you don't really
Speaker 5: need it. Yeahastasia in the first one, you.
Speaker 1: Know, Yeah, God I had a point, but I forgot it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know. Grub backlar do you grub?
Speaker 1: You haven't played through any of the Middle Gears?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: No? No? I played one in five one and I
Speaker 3: love both those games. Got this one.
Speaker 6: I really think this would be an ideal way for
Speaker 6: you to get in.
Speaker 2: After you beat clarip Scare.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's not go crazy here.
Speaker 3: I'm beating clarip Scare, which is why I haven't started
Speaker 3: this game yet, but I have this like primed and
Speaker 3: ready to go probably next Yeah, okay, I want at
Speaker 3: least want to start it and see how I feel
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is tangentially.
Speaker 2: A dad game. Okay, yeah, I'll be the kind of
Speaker 2: mom wow.
Speaker 4: Only there's really only about forty percent of this crew
Speaker 4: that can definitively say that, so.
Speaker 6: Like a cool dad game.
Speaker 3: The jury is.
Speaker 4: Still out and I are dog fathers. Yeah, Like I said,
Speaker 4: my point stands. I think listen, I think one. I
Speaker 4: played one, four and five. Yeah, yeah, because it's just
Speaker 4: like enough for ready, you know, like I just you know,
Speaker 4: they just for me. They kind of like outstay their
Speaker 4: welcome in a big way. But I remember wanting to
Speaker 4: play a snake Eater and now I'm going to do it.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna fit out. There's another game I started that
Speaker 4: we will have to talk about next week, but I'm
Speaker 4: definitely going to do Uh. I'm going to do it.
Speaker 6: For you, Dan, thank you, thank you, You're welcome.
Speaker 5: It is weird, but I don't think it is weird
Speaker 5: in the full Kajima Metal year, Like that's two, that's
Speaker 5: four those weird you know, like three is pretty straightforward.
Speaker 6: Compared to all the other ones.
Speaker 5: You know, it's weird in some ways, but it's not
Speaker 5: like everything freaking out.
Speaker 2: And you know me, I think I prefer it when
Speaker 2: Coach was a slightly ringed and even though there's plenty
Speaker 2: of weird suff here. Yeah, I am the person who's like, oh,
Speaker 2: one and three, those are my favorites for sure.
Speaker 5: And I think I like when he goes fully out,
Speaker 5: like I like two, I like four. I like the
Speaker 5: stranding two, you know, but I also love three and
Speaker 5: one and five.
Speaker 3: You know, is.
Speaker 4: It is one the most like normal?
Speaker 3: Three?
Speaker 2: No, you think three is more normal than one part
Speaker 2: of three?
Speaker 3: I think you're right.
Speaker 2: One one is the most normal.
Speaker 6: I okay, let's just break it down.
Speaker 5: If we just had to, like elevator pitch, you got
Speaker 5: a psychic, you got a guy with a spirit raven
Speaker 5: on his head. You gots just a sniper. That's a
Speaker 5: normal thing. Yeah, so nothing too whack. You got a
Speaker 5: clone brother, you got a cowboy that loves torturing people.
Speaker 3: One has a vampire vampire.
Speaker 4: But I think I think describing the characters is that
Speaker 4: you're doing it a disservice in terms of like the
Speaker 4: normalcy of it, because just because it has these like
Speaker 4: wild characters doesn't mean it's less, you know. I think
Speaker 4: as a package, one seems to be fairly straightforward and normal.
Speaker 5: But no, actually, but storyline wise, and one you have
Speaker 5: to like get injected with a thing and then go
Speaker 5: to Alaska a submarine and infect a bunch of people
Speaker 5: by being near them.
Speaker 6: And three it's just like, hey, go kill this lady.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Dan three has a b man.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: B Man is a lot, has it the b mans
Speaker 6: a lot?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: And then the guy went to space and went crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was an old man with a parrot.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I kind of can't believe I've played sixty percent of
Speaker 2: these games.
Speaker 3: That's weird.
Speaker 2: Ghost In three, I can't believe you played sixty percent
Speaker 2: of them and won them.
Speaker 1: Wasn't there.
Speaker 2: I can't believe you played four before three.
Speaker 3: Believe it?
Speaker 4: Well, I played four because it came with the with
Speaker 4: the PlayStation three that time. If you recall, I waited
Speaker 4: to buy one because but I wanted some backwards compatibility.
Speaker 4: If you remember, there was like a nerved one right
Speaker 4: like the the original three.
Speaker 3: Was like full blown.
Speaker 6: The sixty could do.
Speaker 1: That.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, did you say there was a ghost.
Speaker 6: There's a straight up ghost in three.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, like not someone who like sees ghosts, Like, no,
Speaker 5: there's just a ghost man. Yeah, the ghost man's story
Speaker 5: like there are like familial ties to other characters.
Speaker 2: Ghost is important.
Speaker 6: It's a very important ghost that makes blood Wein is famous.
Speaker 4: What are we looking at the time to full completion
Speaker 4: for four from ten to twelve?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that's not I think in one in three
Speaker 2: two like this too. They're paced very well. Get through them,
Speaker 2: very pissed me off in a big way.
Speaker 5: Okay, so here's the four and two are the ones
Speaker 5: that kind of backload all the crazy Kagema stuff where
Speaker 5: it's like, oh boy, I'm watching this for two hours
Speaker 5: and I'm watching the codec for two hours.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Three and one are the ones that are the best
Speaker 5: at just like pacing it out like gameplay cuts in
Speaker 5: games like Okay, yeah, you know.
Speaker 2: They're definitely the best paces. I like five a lot,
Speaker 2: but it's story is really weird and the pace it
Speaker 2: gets kind of bad at the end of it. Yeah, right,
Speaker 2: Like one and three are just they're definitely the most
Speaker 2: complete Metal Gear games for me.
Speaker 4: Yes, four came out like a month after I moved
Speaker 4: in with Stacy. And that's a bad first impression, I
Speaker 4: think for the person you maybe potentially want to spend
Speaker 4: the rest of your life with. And uh, I remember,
Speaker 4: I think I've told this story somewhere before. But she
Speaker 4: left dura Is. She left to like go out with
Speaker 4: her friends. She was watching this cuts and she's like,
Speaker 4: She's like, oh, is this what you're into kind of thing?
Speaker 6: There's a power point about DNA.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And she.
Speaker 4: Left and when she came back, I was still watching
Speaker 4: the same cuts.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and she was just like, yeah.
Speaker 4: Pack up your ship and get out of here.
Speaker 1: NERD.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 5: It's the only one Bianca played she played for without
Speaker 5: having played the other ones, which is wild why and
Speaker 5: she liked it?
Speaker 6: She was into it.
Speaker 1: Mike, I have to ask you, because I know how
Speaker 1: Dan approaches metal gear, uh, based off of the history
Speaker 1: of this website, how do you approach the encounters? Are
Speaker 1: you a stealth man at all?
Speaker 2: I'm very stealthy. In fact, I like to play through
Speaker 2: it and I'm playing through three non lethal I'm making
Speaker 2: sure I don't kill anybody.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I knock a person out and then the wind
Speaker 2: throws them off. A bridge and then I assume they die,
Speaker 2: but I check. I checked the stats and it says
Speaker 2: I didn't kill them, So you didn't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was where be found liable in a court
Speaker 5: of law. Probably actually, but yeah.
Speaker 1: Probably fantastic, fantastic. I think I ride the line between
Speaker 1: both of you where I'll try stealth, and stealth will
Speaker 1: quickly fall apart, and then I'll just go in guns blazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I'll I'll do a lot of reloading, right
Speaker 2: because I do want to get through it like fully stealthy,
Speaker 2: so if I get caught, you know, it does auto
Speaker 2: saves basically every time you go through a loading screen,
Speaker 2: which is where an encounter starts, and the game's well
Speaker 2: designed around that. It feels good.
Speaker 1: Fantastic, fantastic. You did not kill that man, Mike Minotti,
Speaker 1: gravity did.
Speaker 2: That's absolutely like the boss is right because you can
Speaker 2: trank them instead of killed. Still blow up. But that
Speaker 2: wasn't me. That was the bomb inside and the what's fine,
Speaker 2: It was the bees. I swear it was the bees. Alright, firearms?
Speaker 2: Are you against them? All right?
Speaker 3: Nice? I got that long job, Tommy boy.
Speaker 2: Let's go Metallica.
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, folks, we're gonna take a quick pricky break
Speaker 1: and we will be back with the news right after

Speaker 2: Mobo. This is Jeff Grub with a new news News
Speaker 2: News News.
Speaker 1: Jeffnewsgrub.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm Jeff news Grub. Let's let's talk about it.
Speaker 3: Games come happen. Games Com Opening Night Live happened right
Speaker 3: as soon as we finished our episode last week, so
Speaker 3: it's like a full week ago. I don't want to
Speaker 3: go through all this stuff, but I guess we can
Speaker 3: like encapsulate all of games Com anything. You guys come
Speaker 3: away from that show and from the following days and
Speaker 3: hearing about stuff playing, hearing about people playing stuff that
Speaker 3: stuck out to you. I think the couple of games
Speaker 3: from the Opening Live that like really hit me were
Speaker 3: road Kings, which is that saber interactive g yes, not
Speaker 3: the docking one. The doc one's a zeparate game, which
Speaker 3: I'm also into. Road Kings is the kind of European
Speaker 3: truck simulator one, but with it seems like more of
Speaker 3: a narrative, and they made it feel very emotional and stuff.
Speaker 3: I don't know. But beyond that, it's like that Batman
Speaker 3: lego game. It's all right, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: I saw someone saying it's supposed to be bigger than
Speaker 1: the Arkham City game, which seems wild that it's all legos.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if I can. If this one's
Speaker 1: up being another roam around the city like a Spider
Speaker 1: Man game, then I'm into it.
Speaker 3: Yep. I think it looks really promising. And they're kind
Speaker 3: of bringing in all of the Batman stuff with maybe
Speaker 3: a focus on the Dark Knight trilogy, but like there's
Speaker 3: definitely a bunch of other stuff in there. They do
Speaker 3: have the Batman and references to older Batman stuff in there, so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Arkham stuff all over the place.
Speaker 6: Yes, and then Riddler trophies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like they're like straight up just kind of making
Speaker 3: an Arkham game great.
Speaker 6: They're awesome there.
Speaker 4: Wait, Riddler trophies for sure.
Speaker 6: I heard someone say that I did not see that.
Speaker 2: I didn't notice them. I didn't notice something happens to me. Yeah,
Speaker 2: oh yeah trophies.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I never did get all them in City, which is
Speaker 2: two bags. Like I did a thing with the Riddler
Speaker 2: where he flew away in like a Mex suit or something,
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, I bet there's a really
Speaker 2: cool boss fight if I got all these Riddler trophies,
Speaker 2: and then I just didn't.
Speaker 5: Oh, coming Mount Rushmore of collectibles would be fun.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, the great trophies to be on there.
Speaker 2: Coming back from comic Con one year, I bought a
Speaker 2: life size Riddler trophy.
Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't know you were a full sicko.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean it was the nineties, you know, probably
Speaker 4: that was probably like two thousand and seven, but it
Speaker 4: was the later I had to explain to airport security
Speaker 4: what the fuck exactly was in my.
Speaker 2: I swear I had like all.
Speaker 4: These gears and these weird battery compartments because it used
Speaker 4: to light up when it used to work properly.
Speaker 3: But that was a fun comic con.
Speaker 4: Nevertheless, No, that's out.
Speaker 3: I want to see pictures of it posted on Instagram
Speaker 3: or something.
Speaker 1: Oh, go ahead, I know that we've seen and I
Speaker 1: joked about this last week. We've seen so many iterations
Speaker 1: of the Wayne parents dying. I just need a lego
Speaker 1: Batman scene of like Robert Panson's The Batman with just
Speaker 1: like Nirvana playing in the background. I just need a
Speaker 1: brooding Lego Batman.
Speaker 3: I need them to make a reference to that phase comic.
Speaker 3: That's what I need. This is a gamer issue Batman.
Speaker 3: And yeah, literally the mic has the Gamer issue with
Speaker 3: about the Gamer issue right there. Outside of of that,
Speaker 3: and well, I get okay, any other games standout? You guys,
Speaker 3: you guys all Big Luckmedia or Divina Comedia.
Speaker 2: Dona War finally, so I don't know. I kind of
Speaker 2: want to play Dona War one before four comes out.
Speaker 5: Mike, I would play against We should do skirmishes against
Speaker 5: each We're both curious.
Speaker 2: I gotta see because like, I own it. But they
Speaker 2: did a recent remaster, and I guess if it's really
Speaker 2: worth buying this new remaster of donov War if I'm
Speaker 2: fine with the original, got to look into it.
Speaker 3: Bubbs four d so there was a pre show as well,
Speaker 3: Bobbs four d that he man game. A couple other
Speaker 3: ones keep people keep calling out from there. But bubbsy
Speaker 3: forty actually looks legitimately like a good time. It's from
Speaker 3: for Braz, who is the indie developer that's done some
Speaker 3: three D platformers before Demon's Turf, and they got a
Speaker 3: new one coming out soon. And then this game is
Speaker 3: bubbsy forty is coming out next year. I believe. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it looked pretty cool. I can't believe they're actually doing that.
Speaker 3: A couple other things out of games come from people
Speaker 3: like just getting hands on with like switch to games
Speaker 3: that got announced early on Elden Ring playing pretty shitty
Speaker 3: on the switch to Final Fantasy seven remake, playing really
Speaker 3: good on the switch to Yeah, not much else out
Speaker 3: of the show. Did you guys see any other headlines
Speaker 3: from Gamescom that kind of caught your fancy or anything
Speaker 3: like that, because I just didn't.
Speaker 2: Somebody said, I don't know if this is out of
Speaker 2: games Com, So if it's not, you just silenced me
Speaker 2: and we'll move on. There's a hell Raiser game coming out?
Speaker 2: Was that from games Com?
Speaker 3: So people did play that at games Com? In fact,
Speaker 3: I watched a short from Kurt Indovina who went hands
Speaker 3: on with the game, and he seemed pretty impressed. That
Speaker 3: is another Saber game, Sabers just making LEXI told me.
Speaker 3: Apparently Sabers just got like thirteen studios or something like that.
Speaker 3: This hell Raiser game. People seem impressed by it. They
Speaker 3: were like, it's hitting the tone. It also kind of
Speaker 3: looks really amazing because you actually haven't seen out of
Speaker 3: these characters like in this kind of fidelity before. I'm interested.
Speaker 2: Hell, for sure, I've heard people say that the Silk
Speaker 2: Song demo. There is somehow pretty much that demo I
Speaker 2: played at the Nintendo E three twenty now they're just there.
Speaker 2: That's insane. This it's for stop. But it is like
Speaker 2: that part of the games though.
Speaker 3: Man, okay, that's that's sucks all right. So Silk Song
Speaker 3: that is something that people were also playing at games Com.
Speaker 3: It did get its release date in this past week.
Speaker 3: It's coming out September fourth of twenty twenty five. So yeah,
Speaker 3: in like a week or so, it'll be here. This again,
Speaker 3: whatever game's coming out, people are excited. There won't be reviews.
Speaker 3: These are like the tidbits that you should take away
Speaker 3: from this because they want to give the game to
Speaker 3: kickstarterbackers first before anyone else, so kind of you'll have
Speaker 3: to just play it that way or wait for reviews later.
Speaker 3: But because this game is coming out suddenly September four,
Speaker 3: a lot of other indie games have moved. I have
Speaker 3: a small list here. A Little Witch in the Woods
Speaker 3: has been delayed from September fourth to September twenty fifth
Speaker 3: or September fifteenth, let's see here. Clover Pit is now
Speaker 3: coming September twenty sixth. Atima Lucy is coming in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty six. Now it's just leaving this year entirely. Demon
Speaker 3: School is going to November November nineteenth, and Baby Steps
Speaker 3: is now coming September twenty third, so just everything's moving
Speaker 3: out of the way.
Speaker 6: It is interesting.
Speaker 5: I think I saw map Piscateli post something today of
Speaker 5: like it is getting treated like it's like GTA or something,
Speaker 5: the G six Indi games. What everyone's saying. Yeah, but
Speaker 5: that's just I mean, look, it's a really good game.
Speaker 5: I'm excited to play it, but like, is it that
Speaker 5: much of a.
Speaker 3: It's the most wishlested game on Steam. Okay, well, I
Speaker 3: mean that's the one number. You know, it's not even
Speaker 3: a number, but it's a fact about it that we have.
Speaker 3: So I mean, if you have that information, yeah, and
Speaker 3: everyone's doing it, and these people probably have a little
Speaker 3: bit more information, probably professional sure consulting about like what
Speaker 3: this might mean for them. Everyone's kind of doing I
Speaker 3: bet there's something to it.
Speaker 2: They said, the first one sold like fifteen million copies,
Speaker 2: and this one could they get you know, five million
Speaker 2: copies almost immediately, And in the indie space, that is
Speaker 2: a lot of the oxygen sucked out of the room.
Speaker 5: But if you're someone like let's say, let's say, because
Speaker 5: not everyone's going to be into like a Metro advein
Speaker 5: and even a really good one like this, So something
Speaker 5: like Cloverpit, which you know is like kind of you know,
Speaker 5: there's saying Ballottro meets Buckshot Roulette and you know it's
Speaker 5: one that we're playing symbargoed and stuff. But like we
Speaker 5: can say, obviously it's nothing like silk Song. Like I'm
Speaker 5: not a marketing guy, but wouldn't there be something to like,
Speaker 5: all right, here's an alternative in the indie space that's
Speaker 5: nothing like Silksong.
Speaker 6: So for people who aren't into that, here's you have
Speaker 6: to you.
Speaker 3: Have to be the alternative folks that I think the
Speaker 3: problem is what if you're the third game and it's
Speaker 3: like no one, no one's paying attention to the third
Speaker 3: also ran at that point, and.
Speaker 4: Sure, and also Silksong also experienced like an anomaly in
Speaker 4: terms of its PEP story.
Speaker 2: You know, like.
Speaker 4: There's certain machinations you could not manufacture with that, and
Speaker 4: I think there's a whole list of variables that on
Speaker 4: the other end of it, you have this sort of situation.
Speaker 4: Plus yeah, I mean, if my game was the most
Speaker 4: wish listed guy. I wouldn't shut the fuck up about
Speaker 4: that either.
Speaker 3: I'd be like.
Speaker 1: Grab, I think you're on something with not wanting to
Speaker 1: be the third game because in clover Pits instance, even
Speaker 1: though it is radically different than Silksong, you still have
Speaker 1: to compete with Blatro. Yeah, and like there are still
Speaker 1: a ton of people that have not put Blottro down.
Speaker 2: And if.
Speaker 1: You're competing with time and and silk Song isn't your jam,
Speaker 1: you may just stick with what's familiar versus exploring something
Speaker 1: new and clover Pit.
Speaker 3: A lot of these teams are also probably relying on
Speaker 3: people like us or bigger streamers like Northern Line, like, hey,
Speaker 3: can you play our game this week? And there's a
Speaker 3: chance he might not not during Silksong week, like we're
Speaker 3: already talking about like we'll do a long stream for
Speaker 3: Silk Song. We're like kind of focusing on that. And
Speaker 3: so that like takes out the the like the that
Speaker 3: kind of word of mouth, and then that rule like
Speaker 3: it has a knock on effect of fewer people are
Speaker 3: talking about it who watch those streams, and they're not
Speaker 3: talking about it as much in their discord. So I
Speaker 3: bet there's a lot of data out there. That's just
Speaker 3: this is probably the right move to move these games.
Speaker 2: I wonder if te Cherry is surprised, Like, were they
Speaker 2: thinking about, like, oh, we might upset people if we
Speaker 2: just released this game in two weeks with little notice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe they probably weren't thinking about it, because it's like,
Speaker 3: we're just working on our game. That's what it sounds
Speaker 3: like over there. According to that Jason Schreyer story, they
Speaker 3: were just happily plugging away at this game, letting that
Speaker 3: first game sell and fund and fund everything and it
Speaker 3: worked out perfect. So it seems like they were in
Speaker 3: their own little world.
Speaker 1: Can I get a quick temp check? Should I play
Speaker 1: the original Holi Night one before embarking on Silk Song.
Speaker 5: I don't think so. I don't think you needed for
Speaker 5: any kind of narrative purpose and of anything. I think
Speaker 5: you're risk burning yourself out because it's a fairly long game.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I mean, I love I love Holler Night one,
Speaker 2: but it's a very big game. I think this game's
Speaker 2: a prequel anyway, So you know, play this like that,
Speaker 2: then when you're right, you can go back to Allow Night.
Speaker 3: All right, So we'll keep going here. They can't get
Speaker 3: the hardware. That's a quote about Nintendo reportedly telling would
Speaker 3: be switched to debvs to just release your game on
Speaker 3: Switch one instead. According to a report from Digital Foundries
Speaker 3: DF Direct weekly podcast, developers are still having a difficult
Speaker 3: time obtaining Nintendo Switch to development kits even after the
Speaker 3: console's launch. Some developers have been advised to release their
Speaker 3: games on the original switch and rely on backward compatibility
Speaker 3: instead of creating switch to only titles. This strategy is
Speaker 3: puzzling to some, as even major developers are struggling to
Speaker 3: get kits, while some indie studios have received them instead.
Speaker 3: The lack of switch to dev kits is a is
Speaker 3: problematic for games that pushed the original switches limits. I
Speaker 3: really struggle to figure out what this is until I'm like,
Speaker 3: maybe this is them being like, we don't want a
Speaker 3: ton of switch two decades out there because that might
Speaker 3: increase the chance that someone cracks the system and piracy happens.
Speaker 3: I don't know. That's the only thing I can think of,
Speaker 3: because this typically does not happen. Once the system is out,
Speaker 3: deaf kits become readily available. At least that's my understanding.
Speaker 3: Maybe that's not always been the case. But if there's
Speaker 3: a weird gaps in the switch tos library, it's gonna because.
Speaker 2: Of this weird and you know, we talked about it.
Speaker 2: Nintendo does some dumb stuff sometimes. This is one of
Speaker 2: the dumber ones. What the heck is this about. We're
Speaker 2: already having problems with things like Ninja Guiding Rage Bound,
Speaker 2: like not running really well on a Switch too, because
Speaker 2: there's not a native version, and now there's like all
Speaker 2: these indie games where I'm getting concerned about. I'm like, WHOA, well,
Speaker 2: is the switch you gonna be the best place to
Speaker 2: play shouob or Soak Song? And boy do they want
Speaker 2: people playing Soak Song on their you know, Haitis two,
Speaker 2: which I'm associating heavily with the Switch to. Yeah, all
Speaker 2: sorts of stuff like that. Again, even just like I'm
Speaker 2: confused while you don't have more these third party ports happening,
Speaker 2: and this seems like that's part of that equation as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think we could probably chalk this up
Speaker 3: to Nintendo. It's been very weird, and the explanation of
Speaker 3: it might might not be beyond that. It might just
Speaker 3: be like, yeah, there's no one really in charge of
Speaker 3: that It's just something we kind of do when we
Speaker 3: launch a console. I don't know. Luminous Arise gets a
Speaker 3: demo on PS five and Steam to celebrate its release
Speaker 3: date announcement, but it's for one week only. The playable
Speaker 3: demo for luminez Arise is available now on PS five
Speaker 3: and Steam for one week only until September three. The
Speaker 3: full game will be released in November on the eleventh
Speaker 3: of that month for those platforms. Oh yeah, the order
Speaker 3: pre order, standard edition, and the digital Flux editions. Now, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go go check this out for sure. I play.
Speaker 4: I was looking at the embargo stuff and yeah, I guess.
Speaker 4: Now that it's out and I'm looking at it, we're
Speaker 4: talking about it. I've played a bunch of it. I
Speaker 4: played a bunch of the demo. It's it's dope.
Speaker 3: We're seeing that, you know. It really like the series
Speaker 3: always had this, but it really still does feel like
Speaker 3: a Testrasu effect moment for it because they just amplified
Speaker 3: all that stuff in this one. It looks really good.
Speaker 5: Well, and what other puzzle series would be more you know,
Speaker 5: ready for the Tetris effect treatment in this you know
Speaker 5: it perfect for this.
Speaker 4: Media there's there's some drugs to be done.
Speaker 6: No one actually likes columns. Mike Media is sure I.
Speaker 2: Didn't efend columns.
Speaker 6: I stopped pinting for columns.
Speaker 2: Columns was like the gems one, right, multi Mike.
Speaker 5: Yeah, every pack in thing, every six pack, everyone ever
Speaker 5: had columns and no one ever liked it.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I tried to play it. When when I go
Speaker 3: to my friend's house, the Genesis, what is this? Give
Speaker 3: me Tetris So yeah, Lumines Uh, I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 3: I just man all love Tetris effects so much. Glad
Speaker 3: that enhance is still just doing stuff like that now
Speaker 3: doing it with Luminez. SERI a game that I never
Speaker 3: played all that much, and then when I played it
Speaker 3: at Summer Game Fest, it clicked and I'm like, okay, no,
Speaker 3: I'm ready for this one.
Speaker 6: That first PSP one was unbelievable.
Speaker 3: Yeah. A Nintendo Direct is reportedly planned for mid September.
Speaker 3: Reports suggest it could happen around September twelfth, although that's
Speaker 3: a Friday, but there's a reason to think maybe there's
Speaker 3: something to that date because September thirteenth, which is what
Speaker 3: it would be in Japan. If this really did happen
Speaker 3: on September twelfth, would be the fortieth anniversary of Super
Speaker 3: Mario Brothers. Now, a September direct has happened every year
Speaker 3: since they started doing directs, except for last year. They
Speaker 3: didn't do one last year, but you know, every other
Speaker 3: year they have done one, so it's usually a safe
Speaker 3: assumption that they will have one. And now that the
Speaker 3: switch to is here, I think we can say, like,
Speaker 3: the reason they didn't do it last year is the
Speaker 3: switch to wasn't ready and they were saving stuff. So
Speaker 3: now the switch to is here, they'll probably get back
Speaker 3: on that normal cadence. So yeah, a switch direct in
Speaker 3: a September sounds right to me. How do you guys
Speaker 3: feel about the Mario aspect of this, the fortieth anniversary?
Speaker 3: What do you think they could even have?
Speaker 2: It could be so many things. There were the rumors
Speaker 2: of a new not you know, and that it's more recent,
Speaker 2: but of the series new Super Mario Brothers, a collection
Speaker 2: of those three games we don't have in the switch yet.
Speaker 2: You know, it doesn't excite me a time, but sure
Speaker 2: I can see why that would make sense. Gosh, we
Speaker 2: still don't have Mario G two on there, but I
Speaker 2: don't know if they're going to do anything with that.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a million things they can do with Mario.
Speaker 2: We can get maybe we get Mario three, uh uh
Speaker 2: forty right, like another Battle Royal kind of thing.
Speaker 6: That last one was not great.
Speaker 2: Now there was sometimes how many times.
Speaker 4: They actually like remastered the original.
Speaker 2: All started and then Game Boy Color does better moments.
Speaker 2: I guess I don't know. There's a part of me
Speaker 2: it's like I don't know how much I need Mario
Speaker 2: one remastered again, Like I would love that.
Speaker 3: I would just I just think if they did that
Speaker 3: with like full on the HD treatment and added some
Speaker 3: stuff that h possible. Yeah, but I think maybe I
Speaker 3: would prefer if they updated Super Mario Maker with yes controls.
Speaker 1: Think that's one hundred percent of I was thinking. I
Speaker 1: was holding my mouse and I thought, wow, what a
Speaker 1: great way to control things which two has a mouse?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that would be incredible.
Speaker 5: I think Pie in the Sky, which I have not
Speaker 5: heard even any rumors of, But I would love if
Speaker 5: they tried to do like the Mega Man nine type
Speaker 5: thing and do like a Super Mario Brothers four, you know.
Speaker 6: Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly like Sonic.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think we all think it's probably too
Speaker 2: soon to hear about the next three D Mario. Probably,
Speaker 2: I'm not expecting that at all. I wonder there's something.
Speaker 2: You know, there's other things, like another Alarmo theme based
Speaker 2: around Mario, more soundtrack right on the store.
Speaker 3: The baby Mario stuff of like the toys. They'll probably
Speaker 3: talk about those.
Speaker 2: Things with Alarmo. Get me the fuck off. It's a
Speaker 2: lot of I love it. I tried to get away
Speaker 2: from it, and I was struggling to get up. You
Speaker 2: guys might know I stop meeting that one time, right,
Speaker 2: I straight away from the path of Alarmo and almost
Speaker 2: slipped into the cold no warm depths of hell.
Speaker 3: You guys really wake up to that.
Speaker 5: I don't have to do it, but it is my bedside
Speaker 5: alarm or clock, the alarms on my phone.
Speaker 2: I adapt to it.
Speaker 4: Dylan uses it, Uh, he likes it. I think setting
Speaker 4: an alarm is eleven steps too many.
Speaker 3: It's a good alarm, it's it's well, I guess you're
Speaker 3: trying to set a different time for each day a lot, and.
Speaker 4: You can set it up to do different times of
Speaker 4: different days, but it's just.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that thing updated it. You can do that easily.
Speaker 4: That is not fortieth anniversary material though, do not come
Speaker 4: out with thing with Nintendo.
Speaker 3: It could be we're going all out and it's the
Speaker 3: fucking year of Luigi and watch out everybody. We're doing
Speaker 3: everything with this guy. Or it could be here's a phone, wallpaper,
Speaker 3: Nintendo has done all these things for anniversary.
Speaker 2: Or here's a phone, yeah, the director.
Speaker 6: They will announce the delay of Metric Prime for no.
Speaker 2: I don't absolutely not. Just got rated. It got rated
Speaker 2: by the critic.
Speaker 5: I got Battlefield six, I got Baby Steps, I got
Speaker 5: no baby moved maybe moves.
Speaker 2: Even with my uh bad first pick with the three
Speaker 2: D Mario game, I'm still protected to win because I had.
Speaker 3: Shouldn't know be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's hell. Yeah on one one seven mina the hollower,
Speaker 2: let's go with.
Speaker 3: A fantasy critics. I went in like, dude, this, this
Speaker 3: God of War spin off projects is definitely not coming
Speaker 3: out this year, and they're like, you're not tryer. I'm like,
Speaker 3: you're right, I'm not please though I picked it, just
Speaker 3: do something here, and uh, they're not.
Speaker 4: So I dropped baby Steps, that's right, Yeah, I got
Speaker 4: it now. Yeah, I mean for something I think we'll
Speaker 4: do better, So get ship.
Speaker 3: Fortunately maybe maybe poison ivy. So I'm not Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: what I wanted to break. Okay, Yes, Dan, did you
Speaker 3: get poison ivy?
Speaker 6: I don't think so.
Speaker 5: Creaming around and poison ivy for several minutes, it's.
Speaker 3: Pretty recovered head to toe thanks to the powers. Baby
Speaker 3: So maybe.
Speaker 5: Baby Steps did say of me, Yes, shoes and socks on.
Speaker 5: I immediately threw the whole onesie into the washer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, leaves of three.
Speaker 3: Leave them be. I swased to move there.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I rubbed hydrocordisone cream all over my legs, you know,
Speaker 5: washed them thoroughly.
Speaker 6: I think I'm good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, unless you put on the Baby Steps onesie that
Speaker 3: we got sent and he went out into the woods
Speaker 3: and filmed something and people walked like walk through something
Speaker 3: that people thought was poison ivy.
Speaker 6: Yes, and then I did Google lens and it was like,
Speaker 6: that's poison ivy.
Speaker 2: So but I think I.
Speaker 4: Got okay, all right, it doesn't the one time I
Speaker 4: did touch poison, it happens relatively quickly.
Speaker 6: I think you're okay, I'm in the clear. It's been
Speaker 6: like twenty not twenty four.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, look, we're all collectively hoping and
Speaker 4: praying right, like we all want this, this happened for you.
Speaker 5: I mean, here's where I'm fucked up. When I realized
Speaker 5: that that might be the case, I'm like, oh, that's
Speaker 5: really funny. And then like I didn't get poison ivy,
Speaker 5: I was like, Ah, that's not as funny.
Speaker 2: Oh you could have you could have worked us that
Speaker 2: needed to be a shoot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right. Forts or Ice and six reportedly set
Speaker 3: to be revealed at Tokyo Game Show next month, which
Speaker 3: is four two it because the rumor is it's gonna
Speaker 3: take place in Japan. I've been that's been like intimated
Speaker 3: to me. I don't know how much I trust what
Speaker 3: I'm hearing on that. But then there was the thing
Speaker 3: with someone in Australia from the team taking pictures of
Speaker 3: rare k cars, which are the small Japanese vehicles that
Speaker 3: I want one really bad too, And it's like, okay, well,
Speaker 3: kick cars have been there before, but the one they
Speaker 3: were taking a picture of is like the kind of
Speaker 3: one you would put in there if you were having
Speaker 3: a game take place in Japan because it's relatively rare. Also,
Speaker 3: Japan just feels right, it feels like the timing is
Speaker 3: lined up for that. So the fact that they're announced
Speaker 3: a Tokyo game show, do you guys think that gives
Speaker 3: any more fuel to this fire? Yeah? Or it could
Speaker 3: be any sure.
Speaker 2: I mean people point out like everyone always expects it's
Speaker 2: going to be Yes Japan, I think Britain also went
Speaker 2: out in game as well.
Speaker 3: What HAPs happened?
Speaker 2: Eventually we were there with Assassin's Creed right everything they
Speaker 2: thought Japan to bit Japan, Well, eventually you did get
Speaker 2: Assassin's Creed Shadows. Mike. My big question is, is the
Speaker 2: whole like young people at a hip festival, vibe gonna
Speaker 2: be toned down a little bit or not.
Speaker 3: I don't think they ever turned. The last one sold
Speaker 3: too well for them to change anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a party.
Speaker 3: It's a party about social media.
Speaker 2: Social media.
Speaker 3: You believe they have social media?
Speaker 2: Somebody likes Oh my.
Speaker 3: God, I got so many, Like.
Speaker 4: I need to know where this is from?
Speaker 3: What's from the game Forts Horizon.
Speaker 6: It's always a DJ yelling at you about likes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Yeah, it's like festival, except everybody is happy
Speaker 2: and gets along with each other.
Speaker 3: For that game is one of the best chill out
Speaker 3: like just go sit down and play a video game.
Speaker 3: Ass video game in a while. Uh so, I'm excited,
Speaker 3: and I do think Japan would be awesome. I'm I
Speaker 3: think the one I hated the most in terms of
Speaker 3: setting was England.
Speaker 2: It was it was, Yeah, it was in Europe, get
Speaker 2: rid of it. Australia was better.
Speaker 1: Just wants to go to Europe and just like knock
Speaker 1: out any potential pickpocket.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, come on a road man, that's not a
Speaker 3: threat to get out of here with that.
Speaker 2: You have a knife. Still, I still stand behind Crew Motorfest.
Speaker 2: I think Hawaii was a very good location for one
Speaker 2: of those.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, not wrong.
Speaker 1: My dream gang if sports A Horizon six is going
Speaker 1: to be revealed at TGS and it's gonna take place
Speaker 1: in Japan. Fucking give me the Tokyo Drift song from
Speaker 1: past right, Yeah, just fucking cut a trailer and I
Speaker 1: just need to hear a Japanese woman from in the
Speaker 1: distance goring what ass? And then I will channel in
Speaker 1: my inner DK and not Donkey Kong but the Drift King.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, let's see here.
Speaker 3: Skate Early Access is releasing on September sixteenth. They just
Speaker 3: announced this. Previews are going up. Me and Mike saw
Speaker 3: some hands on and then didn't play.
Speaker 2: It read all that. I never understood how I was
Speaker 2: supposed to play a shame and busy to ask pr
Speaker 2: for Clark. I think ye, we were supposed to sink
Speaker 2: our EA accounts or something.
Speaker 3: I gave them some information about my account and then
Speaker 3: nothing ever happened and they never but whatever, I was
Speaker 3: too busy that that's was like, hey, I have to go.
Speaker 2: There, and I was just in shame. I was just like,
Speaker 2: I think I messed it up, so I don't want
Speaker 2: to bother you. But exactly, I'm like, I don't know
Speaker 2: if I did well. And then when they asked, it's like,
Speaker 2: it's over tomorrow. I'm like, well, that's too late to
Speaker 2: get this figure.
Speaker 3: Out, so I'd like to be a problem though whatever,
Speaker 3: I probably wasn't gonna have much time to play it
Speaker 3: even if I did.
Speaker 2: Have access to it.
Speaker 3: It's out soon. And I looked at it, and uh,
Speaker 3: what they showed us from their their demonstration of it,
Speaker 3: and it looks like skate it does. I think that
Speaker 3: they had the chat there of like other people who
Speaker 3: are from other websites or whatever covering it, and there
Speaker 3: was a lot of people who's big skate fans who
Speaker 3: are just did not seem very happy. I don't know
Speaker 3: what to make a lot of people seem to be
Speaker 3: upset about the I think what they called the fortniteification
Speaker 3: of the visuals. Yes, the visuals are a little bit
Speaker 3: you know, cartoony, I guess is the most simplest way
Speaker 3: of putting that. I was not really noticing that. I'm like,
Speaker 3: this game looks fine, but I also recognize what this
Speaker 3: game is trying to be a free to play, live
Speaker 3: service forever game that can run on anything. So maybe
Speaker 3: I was just kind of coming out from that mindset.
Speaker 3: In terms of the gameplay, I mean, it just looks
Speaker 3: like there's going to be a single player thing. You
Speaker 3: go on there and play that stuff, but you're supposed
Speaker 3: to go hang out with your friends. Can it stand
Speaker 3: up to that for years and years for the skating community.
Speaker 3: I have no idea, but I'm interested to see. This
Speaker 3: is definitely not one of those early access games where
Speaker 3: people should be like, well, I should wait to the
Speaker 3: full thing. This is like early access, like the way
Speaker 3: Fortnite was in early access to beta, where it's like
Speaker 3: they're just trying to test out ideas. So I'm definitely
Speaker 3: gonna hop in there and see and maybe we can
Speaker 3: do a stream or two. But I don't know what
Speaker 3: else to make of it. Yeah. September sixteenth, out in
Speaker 3: Early Access, long time Bungee boss People Parsons has announced
Speaker 3: his departure after two decades. Really, the story here is
Speaker 3: Bungie has been absorbed into PlayStation Studios. This is something
Speaker 3: that was began last year. This really just marks that
Speaker 3: it's fully happened. I bet Pete Parsons like shares have
Speaker 3: also vested, Like it's probably been about that that long,
Speaker 3: So he's probably all right, I'm getting paid, I'm out,
Speaker 3: and I don't want to be part of like having
Speaker 3: to answer to someone at PlayStation Because I came here
Speaker 3: with the understanding that I would be in charge and
Speaker 3: Bungie would be independent. That's not the case anymore. So
Speaker 3: I guess, hey, what do you guys think the future
Speaker 3: is for Bungee again? A company that has to keep
Speaker 3: supporting Destiny to You and is putting out Marathon early
Speaker 3: next year.
Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna miss Pete Parsons in his
Speaker 2: vintage cars or whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of toxicity associated with him. According
Speaker 3: to recent reporting and not a lot of good things
Speaker 3: said about him either.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, because it's like I hope they
Speaker 2: are planning a contingency for if Marathon doesn't have At
Speaker 2: this point, they've had some time that right, Oh right,
Speaker 2: it's just they want that to hit, of course. But
Speaker 2: they can't be in a situation where well, that has
Speaker 2: to hit or we're done, because there's a there seems
Speaker 2: like there's a distinct possibility it doesn't hit. So but
Speaker 2: then it's like, what's the backup plan? Because sure, well,
Speaker 2: let's make Destiny three. That's a very expensive backup plan.
Speaker 2: I think it's something that they are going to have
Speaker 2: to do eventually, and they are going to have to
Speaker 2: start figuring out what that looks like and how it
Speaker 2: can happen, because what exactly are your other options here?
Speaker 2: Chase some other online service trend, go back to making
Speaker 2: a single player shoot out, have an idea make that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Bungee struggling, right, and they are looking for
Speaker 3: a ground to go to, and Destiny three is like
Speaker 3: that big scary thing that like would be a lot
Speaker 3: to chew chew off, like that bite off, and they
Speaker 3: would be like very difficult to pull off, but they
Speaker 3: might have to do that eventually. In the meantime, there
Speaker 3: is another thing that is struggling that they could partner with.
Speaker 3: And now these companies seem like they're pretty friendly. What
Speaker 3: if they helped out with the next Halo?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 3: Oh wow, it's probably there's almost no way that happens.
Speaker 3: But I kind of see. I don't see why it
Speaker 3: couldn't actually now, because that Halo would just come out
Speaker 3: everywhere and Microsoft's not super hot on the people that
Speaker 3: had been making Halo for a minute. There, it's not
Speaker 3: gonna happen, But I just thought it's not a zero chance.
Speaker 2: Jeff. Yeah, it's a cool script you've written exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm putting out that specscript in Hollywood right now.
Speaker 3: We'll see what happens.
Speaker 6: Cody RhoD Is coming back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, huh, all right, the last couple of stories here.
Speaker 3: On September tenth, Acclaim will reveal new surprises, exclusive content,
Speaker 3: and announcements you won't want to miss. Of course, Jeff
Speaker 3: Jarrett's behind all this.
Speaker 1: He is is he gonna do the their direct fuck?
Speaker 3: I hope?
Speaker 2: So you have to watch this right yes? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay, So Acclaim announced a little bit that they were
Speaker 3: coming back, and at that time, I was like, what
Speaker 3: do you mean, Like, what what games could you possibly
Speaker 3: be like trafficking on.
Speaker 6: Because versus the Space Mutants?
Speaker 3: Right? Yes, the games I think of for Acclaim are
Speaker 3: licensed games. Those licenses are elsewhere and combat. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: then shadow Man, which is has already come back with
Speaker 3: like night Dive doing something with them, and then.
Speaker 2: Which is which is Night Dived and also just getting
Speaker 2: a new game already which was also.
Speaker 3: Playable at a summer game fest and people, uh, they
Speaker 3: discovered that's going to have both first and third person.
Speaker 3: It was gonna be third person, but they added first
Speaker 3: person in there as well. That that's it aside, So guys,
Speaker 3: what could have Claim possibly announced that gets you excited?
Speaker 5: I am scrolling through their list of games yesterday when
Speaker 5: I was first saw the story.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I've played a million of these games.
Speaker 5: But it's Terminator, it's fucking Alien, it's w w F,
Speaker 5: it's Mortal Kombat, it's all these things, It's Wolverine things
Speaker 5: where those licenses are very much in other people's hands.
Speaker 6: So I'm trying to think of one thing they could do.
Speaker 1: Ex Triple X too, Uh, Mary Kayden Ashley pocket Planner.
Speaker 2: We go, does he have Simpsons? They did? I don't
Speaker 2: know if anyone. I mean it's just Disney now oh
Speaker 2: oh okay, so I don't know who the hell has Simpsons.
Speaker 5: And racing Oh Newman has Indy Carr featuring Nigel Mansell.
Speaker 2: Because like, the one thing they could have done if
Speaker 2: it wasn't for the fact we're already getting is tur Rock.
Speaker 2: I associate that so much with a claim and like
Speaker 2: the worst or like the not as good wrestling games,
Speaker 2: right was that they did?
Speaker 5: They do no merch, like raw and no, no, no no no.
Speaker 5: That WASHQ sixteen were rumble and raw and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: And so when I see the acclaim and sixty four
Speaker 2: wrestling games at the youth Store, I'm like, those are
Speaker 2: not the good ones. I don't want to.
Speaker 6: I like them as kid, but just because it was
Speaker 6: like the only wrestling game I had, you.
Speaker 3: Know, sure, Frank Thomas b Ones, Uh they had some
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
Speaker 4: There's some sports stuff, but those.
Speaker 3: Are also ones that like they can't do nowadays, because
Speaker 3: are they going to make a baseball game to complete
Speaker 3: compete with any of the Arcade ones or the show?
Speaker 3: And it's like obviously they're not going to do want
Speaker 3: to cool into the show generic Spawn?
Speaker 6: What about Todd McFarland's Spawn.
Speaker 3: I'm going to get back in the Spawn game. That's
Speaker 3: where the real money is, Involution.
Speaker 2: Saying something new or some new license game like, I
Speaker 2: can't imagine it. You can't be a collection of classics.
Speaker 4: Really tough to root for anything with its roots in
Speaker 4: Long Island.
Speaker 3: So for saken, okay.
Speaker 2: Oh there we go. Now we're talking.
Speaker 5: Did we did we for a second came up recently?
Speaker 5: Is that gonna be like a night dive thing or something?
Speaker 3: I think we said that that would be good for
Speaker 3: that or for n s O.
Speaker 5: Okay, we got these wrecking balls, we got extreme on
Speaker 5: n s O. Already, no one can stop mister Domino.
Speaker 3: Oh that's true.
Speaker 2: What is the what is the core of the messaging?
Speaker 2: Here are they?
Speaker 4: There's are they saying something like.
Speaker 3: There was an announcement? I'll get that while you guys continue.
Speaker 6: To talking First American Nation games.
Speaker 2: Yeah said already. And I listened to them like.
Speaker 4: Hardware, like some sort of gimmicky like retro hardware stuff.
Speaker 4: I mean even I know I'm not I'm not hey,
Speaker 4: I'm not excited.
Speaker 3: No, I know, I just don't see, like because it
Speaker 3: really comes down to like them trading on nostalgia, and
Speaker 3: I just don't see what they could because like and
Speaker 3: even if they try to do the thing of like,
Speaker 3: oh no, we're doing new efforts towards nostalgia, like Atari's
Speaker 3: got that on lock now with night Dive and Limited
Speaker 3: Run was over Embracer, But like with night Dive and
Speaker 3: Atari's kind.
Speaker 2: Of got mating because they're doing the like Ninja Guide
Speaker 2: in and things like that. So you got some companies
Speaker 2: in that space, and.
Speaker 3: Right, I mean, I guess Claim could try to do
Speaker 3: more of that, but to justify an entire reveal event
Speaker 3: with new surprises, exclusive content and announcements on September tenth,
Speaker 3: I don't I don't get it. What they originally said
Speaker 3: when they came back is uh, it's an absolute honor
Speaker 3: and pleasure to be leading the charge and bringing a
Speaker 3: Claim back to the forefront of the games industry. That's
Speaker 3: according to Alex Joseph, who is a games industry veteran
Speaker 3: who's taken it back. We're fortunate that we have an
Speaker 3: extremely talented team and that we're all we've already signed
Speaker 3: some incredible indie titles, which we'll be revealing soon. So
Speaker 3: there you go.
Speaker 2: You guys know something wild Night. I've already remastered Forsaken
Speaker 2: at twenty eighteen apparently. Really yeah, what the hell? I
Speaker 2: want to play that? That sounds great.
Speaker 3: That sounds awesome. I'm gonna taken. Really not even descent I.
Speaker 2: Said, they got straight to I mean, I feel like
Speaker 2: this is also around the time they did shadow Man,
Speaker 2: so it actually makes sense.
Speaker 3: Sure, Uh, there is for sake and remastered five dollars
Speaker 3: all right and to my wish list? Perfect? Okay, yeah,
Speaker 3: so we'll see. I guess it does sound like it's
Speaker 3: going to be new and a new indie game publisher
Speaker 3: with the name Acclaim, which is probably the whole idea.
Speaker 1: So what if Jared stars in all these games?
Speaker 3: Okay? Good, yeah, I would I would welcome that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Oh man for Sakens so cool looking. Okay. Metro Prime
Speaker 3: four has been raided by the SRB. We talked about
Speaker 3: this a little bit, but as always, six weeks out
Speaker 3: from an s RB rating is kind of the standard
Speaker 3: that would put it in late September. I am not
Speaker 3: I'm trying not to get my hopes up for it.
Speaker 3: Being that soon. So I've been saying, hey, it makes
Speaker 3: a lot of sense for late October early November, kind
Speaker 3: of between Pokemon and what's the one that's coming out
Speaker 3: in November ads Air Riders. Yeah I could, but yeah,
Speaker 3: we'll see that. This does mean though, that they feel
Speaker 3: like the game is complete and that they can submit
Speaker 3: it for ratings. They've already submitted to other places. But
Speaker 3: ESRB is you know that one's pretty locked down, the
Speaker 3: pretty well understood, So we'll see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean late September looks kind of bare for them,
Speaker 2: it's possible. I mean, you know they'll have Silk So
Speaker 2: on the fourth, and also that U Star Wars Outlaws
Speaker 2: Porfos Switch Itips on the fourth, that Damon Ex Machina.
Speaker 2: This is September fifth, so like earlier on there. But yeah, gosh,
Speaker 2: I don't want to get my hopes up either. I
Speaker 2: am hoping that you know, this direct that could happen
Speaker 2: in September. If it's not just straight up a Metro
Speaker 2: Prime direct like we have at the Kirby Rising. If
Speaker 2: it is a general direct, I hope a lot of
Speaker 2: it is about Metroid. I hope it is. Metro Prime
Speaker 2: four has released it. I hope they do tell me
Speaker 2: how I can play Metrod Prime two and three on
Speaker 2: my switched to before that happens. There're you know, sorry, Dan,
Speaker 2: But for a while that I was feeling like, oh me,
Speaker 2: this game is slipping. But with the ratings of what
Speaker 2: not happening, this is definitely feeling like a twenty twenty
Speaker 2: five game.
Speaker 3: Still, Uh, that does it for the headlines I've included.
Speaker 3: There was a ton of news this week, So if
Speaker 3: we missed anything, you know, maybe could throw it in
Speaker 3: a super chat and we'll talk about it there at
Speaker 3: the end of the show. But yeah, that's just how
Speaker 3: it goes some weeks, grub.
Speaker 1: I perhaps missed the biggest news story of today.
Speaker 3: I knew it. What is it?
Speaker 4: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey are engaged.
Speaker 3: Oh good for them.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's nice to hear.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay, all right, cool.

Speaker 1: a quick bricky break and we will be back with
Speaker 1: emails and super chats. We'll see you on the other
Speaker 1: side of the Yes, these are the emails for the show.
Speaker 1: Emails BombCast at giant bomb dot com is the email addressed.

Speaker 1: appreciate y'all. Once again. If you want to write in

Speaker 1: what words I say. If you want to write in
Speaker 1: about a fun quiz, I'll try and include that if
Speaker 1: we have the time. If you do you have a
Speaker 1: question or some miscellaneous other things right in, please we'll
Speaker 1: try and get to all the emails. BombCast giant bomb
Speaker 1: dot com is email addressed. First email comes from George
Speaker 1: from Orlando. Why is everyone referring to it as BioShock
Speaker 1: four when we never got BioShock three?
Speaker 2: Oh, come on, buddy, come on.
Speaker 3: You know even I can.
Speaker 2: Tell you that finance. You know sometimes games abandoned numbers
Speaker 2: and come back to them.
Speaker 3: So then, are you guys okay with calling it mass
Speaker 3: Effect five.
Speaker 2: I guess someone did that. Sure at that place, it's
Speaker 2: like the new mass effect works. It is weird, very strange. Assassins.
Speaker 2: Remember Assassin's Creed, we ass that's the Creed. That's Creed two. No,
Speaker 2: then Brotherhood and Revelations, which were mainline, and then all
Speaker 2: of a sudden three and then a subtitle and a
Speaker 2: number four, and then there are don't numbers forever after that.
Speaker 3: Then what if I called Black Up seven Call Duty
Speaker 3: twenty seven?
Speaker 2: Sure do it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Who cares?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, apparently nobody, No guy cares.
Speaker 1: For the year it's releasing now.
Speaker 4: Then I think you're exactly right. Yeah, I think like
Speaker 4: at this point where it is twenty six, it's kind
Speaker 4: of lining up anyway, Go nuts.
Speaker 1: The guy who likes.
Speaker 2: Best, I'm the guy who likes Dark Forces. For Jedi
Speaker 2: Night three, Jedi Cast two, Jedi Academy.
Speaker 1: I thought it was.
Speaker 2: I thought the greatest thing Mario Kart ever did was
Speaker 2: when a series that never had numbers suddenly started numbering
Speaker 2: itself for just a couple of games, apparent.
Speaker 3: And then they were very insistent that the mobile game
Speaker 3: was Mario Kart knows whatever, Yeah, ten.
Speaker 2: Or whatever something like that. Yeah, yeah, but you're right,
Speaker 2: that was nine. So this one was going to be ten.
Speaker 2: People were calling it nine and everyone was fighting about it.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm amused. I like I like.
Speaker 5: Combat kind of did some of that too. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 5: like ten and eleven. After like four games, it's like
Speaker 5: Mortal Kombat or Deadly Lions for deception.
Speaker 2: Right, and the Street Fighter was so weird. He had
Speaker 2: Street Fighter two and mine spinoffs in Alpha, which was
Speaker 2: really the first sequel, but then three.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's there's just always like you know, even in
Speaker 4: you know, like hardware stuff, they everyone just fumbles, you know.
Speaker 4: I feel like no one really knows what to do
Speaker 4: with that stuff until it feels.
Speaker 3: An engineer just makes up his own numbering scheme, right
Speaker 3: and puts it in the back end, and then people
Speaker 3: see that like this is the real numbering scheme.
Speaker 4: It's like no, Yeah, windows came out of nowhere with
Speaker 4: numbers all of a sudden.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they skipped eight.
Speaker 1: Myphones got weird for a second. We just went to X.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well was that all right? We have a pair of
Speaker 1: flying related emails. First one comes from met from Indiana.
Speaker 1: Hey bomb crew, I'm thirty eight in flying for the
Speaker 1: first time ever next month for week long vacation to Colorado.
Speaker 1: I've generalized anxiety disorder and have never left the Midwest,
Speaker 1: so quite frankly, I'm terrified of the whole ordeal. Since
Speaker 1: you all seem to travel a decent amount for work
Speaker 1: and pleasure, do you have any advice for me, anything
Speaker 1: from navigating the airport, staying sane on a flight, being
Speaker 1: away from get being away without getting homesick, and other
Speaker 1: things you wish you had known when you flew for
Speaker 1: or took a long trip for the first time. Appreciate
Speaker 1: any and all help. Thinks a million Matt from Indiana.
Speaker 4: Wow, Matt, uh, that's interesting.
Speaker 3: Do not get You're gonna enjoy it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't get blitzed.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, No, what no have to say?
Speaker 2: Go to your thought and explain your anxieties and get
Speaker 2: prescribed with actual medicine. And then, don't you know, I
Speaker 2: understand that it can be often you'll be like anxious
Speaker 2: about taking the medicine, But no, the medicine is good
Speaker 2: and will help you well.
Speaker 5: And if they prescribe something, definitely just do it on
Speaker 5: a day where you don't have a lot going on
Speaker 5: at home. So you know what to expect from the
Speaker 5: actual like, but so that is one thing, talk to
Speaker 5: a doctor about it, and you know they might say,
Speaker 5: here's klanap and here's xanax or something, and those do work.
Speaker 5: But if you don't want to go right to that,
Speaker 5: which are like Benzo's little you know, they make you
Speaker 5: feel a little different. There's something called per paneloon that
Speaker 5: I have found very useful because it is a typically
Speaker 5: prescribed for public speaking. Because what it does is it
Speaker 5: it's a beta blockers. So it's like, you know, things
Speaker 5: like heart rate and shallow breathing and stuff like that.
Speaker 5: It'll like kind of block a lot of the physical
Speaker 5: symptoms that if you have anxiety. You know that a
Speaker 5: lot of times that's how like a panic attack can start,
Speaker 5: is you'll feel your heart rate going up and go like, oh,
Speaker 5: there we go, and then the snowball goes down the
Speaker 5: hill and you're having a full scale panic attack. So
Speaker 5: if you want to go with like I don't want
Speaker 5: to say the harder stuff, but you know xanax or klonopin,
Speaker 5: they will make you feel a little knocked out. You
Speaker 5: could ask about proparaning A long aisle seat is very
Speaker 5: helpful for me with anxiety because, like I think something
Speaker 5: that has triggered panic attacks in the past is like
Speaker 5: the feeling that you can't get up and easily leave
Speaker 5: a situation, at least at the aisle seat. Once you're
Speaker 5: at like ten thousand feet you can get up, sit
Speaker 5: in the bathroom. Some just walk up down the aisle.
Speaker 5: Stuff like that helps a lot. Expect that on takeoff
Speaker 5: and taxing. Specifically on takeoff, there's going to be noises,
Speaker 5: there's stuff, the flap's going up, the landing gear going up,
Speaker 5: things going around the overhead compartments. That's all normal. Don't
Speaker 5: worry about it. Also turbulence, that's even if that happens,
Speaker 5: not to beg it feels scary or whatever.
Speaker 3: Turbulence has never caused a plane to crash.
Speaker 6: You will never ask because of turbulence.
Speaker 5: And then some something that really helped me out too
Speaker 5: is that like if you have generalized anxiety disorder, I
Speaker 5: assume you've had some panic attacks and think about, like
Speaker 5: the worst one you've ever had, it ends, they all end.
Speaker 6: Your body cannot keep it prolonged.
Speaker 5: Being like because I had you know, even recently, I
Speaker 5: used to like last year, I waskind of struggling with
Speaker 5: flat anxiety again, and I was reminded that, like, there's
Speaker 5: no way that, like, oh, a twelve hour flight to Germany,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be having like this panic attack the entire time.
Speaker 5: Your body cannot do that. I cannot keep that up.
Speaker 5: You are going to peak. It won't hurt you, and
Speaker 5: then you were just gonna feel really fucking sleepy. You know,
Speaker 5: think about any panic attack you've ever had. It lasts
Speaker 5: a little bit and then you feel really fucking sleepy
Speaker 5: and it crashes. So yeah, it's I mean, there's ways
Speaker 5: around it. I know exactly how you're feeling. I've really
Speaker 5: struggled with this in the past, but you know you'll
Speaker 5: get through it.
Speaker 3: You're not gonn can hurt you. Just add to that
Speaker 3: last thing. Damn talk about it like you're going to
Speaker 3: get through it. Tell yourself that talk to yourself. Anxiety
Speaker 3: is your brain making up stories to scare you, and
Speaker 3: your body can get scared of things it made it
Speaker 3: made up in your brain. That means you can also
Speaker 3: just tell your body things. You can communicate your body
Speaker 3: like hey you're safe, Hey we're good, Hey we're fine,
Speaker 3: and you will believe it to a certain degree. It's
Speaker 3: not going to solve everything. It's not some magic bullet.
Speaker 3: But take ownership of your body and have a conversation
Speaker 3: with it and say we're safe, we're good, and it
Speaker 3: will help a little bit.
Speaker 5: Another big thing, and this applies to any panic attack. Now,
Speaker 5: just fight anxiety. Is you know, you'll hear a lot
Speaker 5: of stuff of like ways to quell it and get
Speaker 5: a panic like, oh, you know, do this breathing and
Speaker 5: that'll stop a panic attack, or you know, think about
Speaker 5: this or listen to this. No, let it just run
Speaker 5: through you basically, like when you feel it, when you
Speaker 5: feel those first things of anxiety, do not fight it,
Speaker 5: like that's just going to make it stronger. Just be like, hey,
Speaker 5: run your course, do your thing, you know, hands feet,
Speaker 5: mike it tingling part right, might go up.
Speaker 6: None of this shit's gonna hurt you.
Speaker 5: You're not gonna have a heart attack, You're not gonna
Speaker 5: go crazy and start screaming. Just let it do its thing.
Speaker 5: It'll end and then.
Speaker 2: You know about you know, just homesickness or something like that.
Speaker 2: Just you know, keep yourself busy, all right, you're going
Speaker 2: to be in a new place. There's gonna be a
Speaker 2: lot of stuff to do. Go and do that, enjoy yourself.
Speaker 3: Walk around, make new memories. Yeah, thing you're doing you
Speaker 3: makeing memories. You can't make any other way anti memories
Speaker 3: by doing new things.
Speaker 2: Tire yourself out to that. When it is the end
Speaker 2: of the day and you're back in your hotel wherever
Speaker 2: you are, you do you know you're just gonna want
Speaker 2: to fall asleep anyways because you are so exhausted. You
Speaker 2: maybe are just laying here thinking about how you aren't
Speaker 2: in your bed, and you know you miss those things,
Speaker 2: things like that, and.
Speaker 3: Then a blackout, drunk, get blackout.
Speaker 6: I've also done that.
Speaker 8: The way we are headed, when you the way we're
Speaker 8: headed as a society, maybe primarily as a country, there
Speaker 8: is a there is a timeline where like Dan listen
Speaker 8: off all of those drugs ends with him saying, use
Speaker 8: my referral code for you.
Speaker 5: It's what eight hundred, daddy, that's my referral cud doctor
Speaker 5: Jack Daniels.
Speaker 2: Thanks for There's.
Speaker 1: Also other practical things. Get to the airport early.
Speaker 2: Yes, oh yeah, don't all be exactly if you're somebody's
Speaker 2: gonna get worried about the airport, just get to get
Speaker 2: there three hours early, hang out whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and hey, when you're the time of departure is
Speaker 1: not when the flight boards also know.
Speaker 2: That no, very very true, very true. Parking cand ticket
Speaker 2: bit if you have to do that, don't you know yet?
Speaker 2: You don't want to be a situation where you're in
Speaker 2: the TSA line and you're worried about being so long
Speaker 2: that you're going to miss your flight. Like it's annoying
Speaker 2: to have to wait there, but you don't want to
Speaker 2: have that anxiety of I might be waiting in this
Speaker 2: and then miss my flight.
Speaker 1: Oh no, And I don't know if this will help
Speaker 1: with your with with potential anxiety, but like a lot
Speaker 1: of airlines, most airlines now have an app. It'll update
Speaker 1: you just in case like the gate changes or whatever,
Speaker 1: so you can stay on top of that. Another level
Speaker 1: of assurance so you don't miss your flight.
Speaker 5: If you're also, if this sounds like it would help you,
Speaker 5: I did this just last year with those international flights.
Speaker 5: Like I will talk to flight attendants ahead of time
Speaker 5: and I will just be like, hey, just to give
Speaker 5: you a heads up, like, you know, I've got anxiety stuff.
Speaker 5: So if it seems like I'm having a tough time
Speaker 5: or whatever, not having a hard attack. I'm just just
Speaker 5: like let it. Like I used to let every boss
Speaker 5: I had from like college on know that I have
Speaker 5: panic disorder in generalized anxiety disorder. So that way they know,
Speaker 5: and if I'm struggling, it's not a mystery. It's not
Speaker 5: like why standing acting all weird. So you know, if
Speaker 5: you want to talk to a flight attendant or even
Speaker 5: a pilot or something. I've talked to pilots at my
Speaker 5: gate before and they're always very helpful. They've been through
Speaker 5: all this million times and sometimes they can help you.
Speaker 1: Also, if you take a nap and you missed the
Speaker 1: beverage service, you can just call the flight attendant and
Speaker 1: they'll get you a soda. Yeah, if that's what Sometimes
Speaker 1: I've I've been stressed out, like, oh no, I missed
Speaker 1: my meal.
Speaker 3: I didn't know you could do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I just go back to the galley and I be like, eh,
Speaker 6: got a beer.
Speaker 1: Enjoy a ginger ale. That's why ginger ale is made
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 2: You do get extra bloady in the air.
Speaker 4: That's the fact you get fardier.
Speaker 6: Oh you never farted on a plane.
Speaker 2: Also, if you're I looked it up. I've never for
Speaker 2: once on an airplane.
Speaker 6: I probably have extraly.
Speaker 1: I looked it up. The distance from Indiana to Colorado.
Speaker 1: It's about a two ish hour flight.
Speaker 2: So oh yeah, that's how long it takes me to
Speaker 2: fight at Disney.
Speaker 1: Next email comes from Matt from Point Pleasant, New Jersey.
Speaker 3: Hey, bomb Babes.
Speaker 1: In November, I will be going to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka,
Speaker 1: Japan and have a fifteen hour flight ahead of me.
Speaker 1: I currently have a Nintendo Switch one and finally have
Speaker 1: an excuse to play some games uninterrupted. With that in mind,
Speaker 1: what games does the crew recommend I load up on
Speaker 1: my Switch before I leave? In addition, is there anything
Speaker 1: I must do or buy? Well I'm in Japan. Thanks
Speaker 1: for all you do, Matt from Point to Pleasant, New Jersey.
Speaker 2: I if you're going to have a switch, I love
Speaker 2: playing NSO games on the planes because sometimes it's something
Speaker 2: that's you know, can be very short. I'm not looking
Speaker 2: to be up for a while, so there's all sorts
Speaker 2: of just classic stuff there. But if you want to
Speaker 2: play even like a longer ns O game, if you
Speaker 2: haven't done Earthbound right and you know you're gonna have
Speaker 2: some time to get into that. Fifteen hours will get
Speaker 2: you halfway through that game if he even wanted to.
Speaker 2: So that's usually my strategy is actually just doing a
Speaker 2: lot of nso hopping when I'm on the plan.
Speaker 3: Yeah, play rye Gar.
Speaker 2: It's good based game. I don't know, Just so you're
Speaker 2: not like jumping around and hopping bopping in your own.
Speaker 5: Seat, pilatro, you know, stuff like that. We're just any
Speaker 5: game that you're playing, you're like, oh, time just melted away.
Speaker 5: Vampire Survivors is a great one, like.
Speaker 2: A Tetris effect was very good.
Speaker 6: Breath the Wild.
Speaker 2: What's the board game collection?
Speaker 6: A clubhouse game?
Speaker 3: Clubhouse? Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 6: The person next to you play some Othello or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, some hot seat game, passing it back and forth.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and Snipper I guess I would switch. When
Speaker 3: first came out, I played some snipper Clips with a
Speaker 3: lady on a plane. That's the only time I did
Speaker 3: the rooftop party thing.
Speaker 2: And now you're married.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. It's my second family. Steam World dig
Speaker 3: twos from Christopher man Audi and chat. Uh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: that one that's got such a good loop that that
Speaker 3: that will make time melt Away.
Speaker 2: Honestly, All the Night would be a good one for planes.
Speaker 2: For sure. There's a like and dig into there, but
Speaker 2: also just play for a little bit. It works with that.
Speaker 3: Also, if you play all the way there and all
Speaker 3: the way back, you might beat that game. Maybe not
Speaker 3: sleeping or eating.
Speaker 2: Yeah, are good at that.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: As far as must do things in Japan, there's so much, uh,
Speaker 1: there's so much good fucking food. Go get ramen. Anywhere
Speaker 1: you go will be good. Super store uh, and get
Speaker 1: some of the best food that will surprise you.
Speaker 2: Super potato.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't and don't see it like Japanese staples.
Speaker 8: Go.
Speaker 3: Like if you see a burger place, it's probably the
Speaker 3: best burger place you've ever had in your entire life. Like,
Speaker 3: go everywhere there, it's just great food.
Speaker 6: Nintendo Store, you switch Nintendo fans.
Speaker 5: Dum Museum that's if it's oh you're going to Kyoto, okay,
Speaker 5: then yeah, check out the museum.
Speaker 1: H don't care.
Speaker 5: I would not recommend going to Kyoto for the museum specifically,
Speaker 5: that's kind of a long haul.
Speaker 6: But if you're gonna go there anyway, absolutely, Uh.
Speaker 1: Don't be too discouraged about the language barrier.
Speaker 2: As well.
Speaker 1: You can kind of parse your way out and have
Speaker 1: no problem navigating through Japan.
Speaker 5: Seven to eleven. Just get a bunch of fun Knveini food.
Speaker 5: That that's great.
Speaker 2: I've heard their Disneyland's amazing. You're going to Tokyo. Disney

Speaker 4: Yeah, where is your hat though?
Speaker 3: Bud?
Speaker 1: All right, all right there we we don't need to
Speaker 1: always do every single food email. I'm kind of getting
Speaker 1: tired of it. Okay, this one comes from Casey from
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Hey, y'all, I frequently listened to the BombCast
Speaker 1: while cutting my grass. What's everyone's lawnmowing situation? Jeff and
Speaker 1: Jeff are dads and are constitutionally required to cut grass.
Speaker 1: Dan probably hire someone for safety purposes, doesn't have a
Speaker 1: lo our, Jan doesn't have a lot, And Mike's grass
Speaker 1: is probably seven feet tall because he's a wizard. Thanks
Speaker 1: for all the hard work. Love you guys. Ac from
Speaker 1: North Carolina.
Speaker 5: You could deliver a lawnmower to me with filled with
Speaker 5: gas and put a gun in my head and simo
Speaker 5: with the lawn.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't know the first step.
Speaker 3: You don't know, they'll pull on the thing.
Speaker 5: I've seen it happen, but like I did it a
Speaker 5: few times when I was like twelve.
Speaker 2: Or thirteen, this isn't surprising.
Speaker 6: I'm sure lawnmower tech is different now. I'm sure.
Speaker 3: I'm not suppose he doesn't do it, But no, it's
Speaker 3: not different. Well, I guess you can an electronic one.
Speaker 3: I had an electric one, which is even easier. You're
Speaker 3: happy with that, h No, I got a cheap one,
Speaker 3: so I was not happy with that. I think had
Speaker 3: I gone up one step, I would have been. But
Speaker 3: I am happy still with the robot, which is what
Speaker 3: I have now. People I got, I got Pepo. Yeah,
Speaker 3: people's out there mowing the lawn and it's been great.
Speaker 3: I've had to replace the blades once, which I thought
Speaker 3: I'd have to do a lot more frequently. You can
Speaker 3: kind of tell the grasses like looking a little bit
Speaker 3: shaggy after a moment say, Okay, I got to replace
Speaker 3: these blades and they're just timely blades and I got
Speaker 3: a fuck ton of them and so they should last
Speaker 3: me forever. And it's it's just really solid does the trick.
Speaker 3: And I like being out there while it's doing. I'll
Speaker 3: work on some other stuff. I'll do some weeding and
Speaker 3: things like that, so I'm still tending the lawn while
Speaker 3: it's doing its thing. But the grass has never never
Speaker 3: looked better it's been. Really it does this really great
Speaker 3: thing of like it'll continue its path like across the sidewalk,
Speaker 3: so it makes my front yard just look like this
Speaker 3: really like one continuous thing in a really satisfying way
Speaker 3: without me having to kind of like perfectly line it
Speaker 3: up and get precious about it. It just does it
Speaker 3: because it's a robot. So yeah, I'm happy with it.
Speaker 2: How long does the robbit last?
Speaker 3: So it lasts enough to do three quarters of my
Speaker 3: entire front side and backyard now. But I did get
Speaker 3: a second battery because I got the sweeping kit, which
Speaker 3: is the thing that will sweep up the grass cookings
Speaker 3: if I want. But that so that comes with the
Speaker 3: secondary battery that you could slide into and there's another
Speaker 3: slot in there and that charges the weeping motion. But
Speaker 3: a lot of times I don't sweep because I just
Speaker 3: it's tiny little clippings that'll be good for the yard
Speaker 3: to kind of decompose in there. So it just runs
Speaker 3: for forever now and it's and it charges, you know,
Speaker 3: it goes on its dock, charges underneath my steps, gets
Speaker 3: ready to go for the next day. So every day
Speaker 3: it's ready to go, and we kind of run it
Speaker 3: almost every day.
Speaker 2: I got it.
Speaker 4: What do you do, Mike?
Speaker 2: I I pay people to do it. I found an
Speaker 2: app where I could just schedule a person and I
Speaker 2: don't have to talk to them, act with them, and
Speaker 2: just be without me knowing. I found me cut my grass,
Speaker 2: do it once every two weeks. It's not that expensive.
Speaker 2: I was doing it here for a bit. I think
Speaker 2: I tried to tell myself I liked it, like, oh,
Speaker 2: it's actually relaxing, and I like listening to my podcast
Speaker 2: actions is great. I didn't like it, and I really
Speaker 2: like having someone else do it for me. I feel
Speaker 2: a bit a bit like a dirt bag sometimes because
Speaker 2: since I don't know, it's like I'm a homeowner and I,
Speaker 2: you know, should cut my grass. Other people do. Uh,
Speaker 2: there's landscaping in my family, DNA and all that. But oh,
Speaker 2: I love I love paying that guy to do it.
Speaker 2: It's so nice. What do you mean you got to
Speaker 2: lay it off on it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Do you watch him through them through the blinds and
Speaker 4: you're just like that?
Speaker 2: But I just love coming home and like I ran it,
Speaker 2: did an air and come home and my grass is cut.
Speaker 3: It's nice.
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what, they do a much better
Speaker 2: job than I am.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's either that or goats.
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, goats, And you know, I assume they
Speaker 2: had the poop somewhere and I don't want to know pellets
Speaker 2: that hardly count. Yeah, so I need another animal to
Speaker 2: eat the goat poop. But then when you have a dog, right,
Speaker 2: this is like that mouse that ate a muffin or
Speaker 2: whatever it was, a mouse ate a muffin the mouse cookie? Yeah,
Speaker 2: what are you talking about?
Speaker 4: His children's literature? Yeah, it's expensive though, I mean, I'm
Speaker 4: with you, Mike. It's definitely was the way to go.
Speaker 3: But it's it adds up.
Speaker 2: It wasn't too bad. I guess I'll just say what
Speaker 2: the tippinger thing? I think it's about sixty dollars for everyone. Again,
Speaker 2: I do it every two weeks, so I guess for
Speaker 2: a month.
Speaker 3: How much I pay. Mike's yards not huge, but deeper
Speaker 3: than you would expect.
Speaker 2: But that's the thing too. Yeah, it's not a giant yard.
Speaker 2: It's like wide though, right so sea wide. It's very deep.
Speaker 2: The other thing is it gets kind of wet back there.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I don't want having to deal with it right on?
Speaker 5: Can I just direct people to what's happening on the
Speaker 5: Twitch stream right now? Is doing God's work over here?
Speaker 2: What are you doing?
Speaker 6: Describe it for the audio listeners?
Speaker 1: What the.
Speaker 2: Is this?
Speaker 3: Jin? Yes, I don't notice any difference, just all just
Speaker 3: looks familiar to me. The lawnder I got is like
Speaker 3: I think Steph got it on sale, but typically it's
Speaker 3: like twelve hundred thirteen hundred, and I just it's going
Speaker 3: to pay for itself real fast. So I'm happy with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Alright.
Speaker 1: Uh, last email the show before we get to super
Speaker 1: chats Pete from Panetic.
Speaker 2: Is that what ct is?
Speaker 3: Yes? Connecticut at I'm not a Connecticut guy.
Speaker 6: I'm recovering Connecticut guy.
Speaker 4: There are places in Connecticut that are just fine.
Speaker 5: It's now I think Connecticut is fine. Yeah, it's fine,
Speaker 5: It's it's it's fine.
Speaker 1: Uh uh. Pete in Connecticut, rights and hey bomb cast.
Speaker 1: I collect a lot of different video game stuff, which
Speaker 1: I enjoy, but every once in a while I look
Speaker 1: over at my shelf and feel a pang of guilt.
Speaker 1: For instance, did I really need to buy two analog
Speaker 1: pockets or all of the versions of old Pokemon games
Speaker 1: or even the PS five pro?
Speaker 2: Just curious.
Speaker 1: Do you guys have any items that you give you
Speaker 1: they give you buyers remorse in your respective niches, whether
Speaker 1: it's coffee, Pokemon cards, Chinese handhelds, pinball machines, expensive GameCube games,
Speaker 1: or just retro games in general. Thank you for all
Speaker 1: the content, as always, Pete in Connecticut.
Speaker 2: I did just buy cad and the hat for the
Speaker 2: original Xbox and I feel good about that, So it
Speaker 2: takes a lot. I plant an ever Drive cartridge from
Speaker 2: my nes. I was like, this is cool. I can't
Speaker 2: wait to experiment with this. I just haven't, and I
Speaker 2: kind of feel, well, not so guilty that I bought
Speaker 2: the thing, because I do think it should be something
Speaker 2: I'm interested in and use, but I just haven't done it.
Speaker 5: I bought every ever drive for like every cartridge based system,
Speaker 5: and then I just wind up using my mister.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, situation.
Speaker 6: I got that stuff I bought.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got that Dji the gimbal for the phone,
Speaker 3: and it's kind of a halsle to use with the phone,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, I should have just saved my money
Speaker 3: and got the Osmo instead.
Speaker 6: Those gimble things suck.
Speaker 2: I hate.
Speaker 6: That's the one where you put it in the claw
Speaker 6: and it's like, yeah, never worked.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean this one it works, okay if
Speaker 3: conditions are perfect, like if the thing is perfectly balanced
Speaker 3: and I can get in there without the goddamn clamp
Speaker 3: holding down on the volume buttons which are on the
Speaker 3: side right there. It's like, who designed these things? Yeah?
Speaker 5: No, I've been messing around with Hanson's Dji Osmo pocket
Speaker 5: thing and it's like that thing is really nice, but
Speaker 5: it's like eight hunderd bucks.
Speaker 4: So yeah, oh the price went up happened, Okay, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: No one knows why I don't. That's it's a good
Speaker 4: question because we obviously all love dumb bullshit, and I do.
Speaker 3: Like occasionally buy stuff just to feel something.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, I'm going to that Cleveland Gaming Classics soon.
Speaker 2: And I'm all right, I'm just.
Speaker 3: Got a budget. What's your budget? Last time I went,
Speaker 3: I broke and I'm like, I don't know, I gotta
Speaker 3: like put my money somewhere else.
Speaker 2: I don't have a budget. I'll tell you this. I'll
Speaker 2: tell you this right now. I want all the Magnetic

Speaker 4: You literally ate those words.
Speaker 3: Wait, so how m I you spent last time? Or actually? Non?

Speaker 1: ship obviously dripping in it like a slag.
Speaker 2: Go all right, cook for us.
Speaker 3: When you're extremely busy.
Speaker 1: When we're on trips, we question, yeah, oh no, last
Speaker 1: place we stayed, I did have a kitchen. Actually no,
Speaker 1: well you're busy.
Speaker 3: We're busy, I think extremely busy.
Speaker 4: But weekends are shake uh smoothie days in my house.
Speaker 4: I make smoothie Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 3: And I'm eating a lot of kim chie, but I
Speaker 3: want to get some smoothie action in there.
Speaker 5: Bunk brought me some cheese from games Calm from Germany,
Speaker 5: so I've just on some triskets and stuff that's contraband. No, no,
Speaker 5: you were cheesing if it's like sealed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we we We actually looked into this heavily.
Speaker 2: Last time because we were at that cheese shop.
Speaker 5: They took it out of my bag. It'll show up
Speaker 5: on a thing. But as long as it's like a
Speaker 5: sealed cheese thing with meat and stuff, you can't do.
Speaker 6: But cheese is loose.
Speaker 3: Pocket cheese is not okay?
Speaker 4: Is that unwrapped cheese in your pants?
Speaker 3: Served?
Speaker 1: Speaking about a weekend treats, I don't have like a
Speaker 1: Sonic near me, the fast food place the driving, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I have one maybe that's like an hour and
Speaker 1: a half away that I may have to come across
Speaker 1: this weekend. And I saw that they have like a
Speaker 1: really long hot dog and I wanted.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, the extra long cheese cone.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I just realized something.
Speaker 2: Yesterday.
Speaker 5: I was at an amusement park around here and they
Speaker 5: had cheese curd stands, and I remember pointing out to
Speaker 5: a bunch of Minnesota's that like, oh, you know, this
Speaker 5: is very Minnesota. You wouldn't see a cheese curd stand
Speaker 5: at a six Flags in you know, Georgia or Colorado
Speaker 5: or something. And they were surprised, and I was like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: cheese curds very much of Minnesota Wisconsin thing. But then
Speaker 5: I realized Sonic driving growing up in Kansas City, they
Speaker 5: were just called Chad ur Bites, and it was basically
Speaker 5: those are.
Speaker 3: Just nowhere else Yeah, it's just they're everywhere in Minnesota, Wisconsin.
Speaker 5: Yeah, me, they just call him different things elsewhere, like justirts.
Speaker 3: Are more common in the northern and Midwest, but they
Speaker 3: still show up everywhere.
Speaker 2: All right. Oh, I like to get ARB's on the
Speaker 2: weekend dirty thirty s. It's never been on the back
Speaker 2: of our stuff Rogan train, but I'm watching the studio
Speaker 2: on Tim Apple's Apple TV. The resemblance is unreal.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Yeah, it's fine. I mean, what do I
Speaker 3: do at this point?
Speaker 4: He looks like me. I was born first, and that's it.
Speaker 4: It could have gone either way for us.
Speaker 2: We got we had one more squeak in here from
Speaker 2: last geek, Hi, Jeff, I hope you're having a good day.
Speaker 2: Did not specify which, Jeff, So you have to fight
Speaker 2: amongst yourselves on who thank you last.
Speaker 5: I want Backard to have it. I want my claimed
Speaker 5: it first. I get that ten right. Can you disperse
Speaker 5: that to me?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would love to called it.
Speaker 4: But going back to selfishly the Rogans, I think I
Speaker 4: really need to develop a good Sethrogan impression.
Speaker 3: I think it's like a scar that just makes it
Speaker 3: clear that you're not Seth Rogen. Yeah I could.
Speaker 4: I could mutilate my face. Yeah, I just I I
Speaker 4: have never really worked on one, so I'm gonna try,
Speaker 4: and I'm going to try and work on one.
Speaker 1: Can you do a laugh just like a workshop will
Speaker 1: laugh right now?
Speaker 2: That's something like that. I don't know. Yeah, that's not it.
Speaker 3: Can we do a thing real quick where we recommend
Speaker 3: people go watch stuff or look at something that's not
Speaker 3: a game? Sure, thank you for your ppression. How comedy
Speaker 3: was destroyed by an anti reality doomsday call on the
Speaker 3: Elephant Graveyards YouTube channel. That was really good. It's a
Speaker 3: lot of stuff that's like I've always like been like, yeah,
Speaker 3: this is how I felt. But it was nice to
Speaker 3: get the sense that like, oh, a million people have
Speaker 3: watched this and agree comedy sucks right now because of
Speaker 3: Joe Rogan and that kill Tony idiot. And then you
Speaker 3: go into comments and there's just like a million people going,
Speaker 3: I just miss Norm. I'm kind of glad Norm's not
Speaker 3: here to see it like this, and it's like, okay,
Speaker 3: I it feels like shit's healing a little bit, and
Speaker 3: it's happening in videos like this. It's an hour and
Speaker 3: a half. It's a good watch.

Speaker 4: bought viewers, you know, like you know, people fit inflating
Speaker 4: like a Twitch stream numbers, right, and I feel like
Speaker 4: and then you look at like what's popular on pog
Speaker 4: and you're just like, how is like some of these podcasts?
Speaker 3: And I don't know.
Speaker 4: Again, maybe I am you know, reaching too far, but
Speaker 4: I gotta think. I know, Twitch is probably the most
Speaker 4: bodied platform, right, but I kind of imagine some of
Speaker 4: that it flows over into YouTube and some of this
Speaker 4: other shit d to.
