Welcome to Beach to Sandy Water to Wet, a podcast featuring real reviews written by people who just need the world to know what they think. need the world to know what they think. Between you and me, I wanted to like this podcast, but I'd give it zero stars if I could. Do we know if Reefer Mad madness has a theme song i don't know if they do if it does because then we should make a parody of that yes not us we can't we're not talented but what we're not oh i know it's a hard-hitting truth but it's the truth welcome to she for madness It's a hard-hitting truth, but it's the truth. Welcome to SheForMadness. It's a show where we do bonus content for you, especially because right now everyone is stuck inside, and if they're not stuck inside,
Starting point is 00:01:32 they're risking their lives. So things aren't looking really great for humanity at the moment, so we're trying to distract you. Yeah, and if you are stuck inside, you might have heard of this thing called Animal Crossing. Or, as it took me many weeks to figure out, ACNH. Yep. I did not know what that was for a long time. That's embarrassing. I know. Considering how much you play it. I play it a lot. So Animal Crossing New Horizons is a game for the Switch that has really become part of the zeitgeist, I think, especially because it came out right when this whole...
Starting point is 00:02:05 Timing was perfect. The timing on their part was really good. It is my first Animal Crossing game. Mine too. So my knowledge is solely based on this new game. Same. And I know that a lot of people, including myself, have found a lot of comfort in the game and playing it and building up your own island and, you know, fishing and catching insects and that kind of thing. And so if you do play it, you probably understand that.
Starting point is 00:02:31 And if you're feeling a little bit left out because you're like, oh, I want to play Animal Crossing. Well, guess what? We're giving away a copy of Animal Crossing New Horizons on Switch. Yeah, we decided to do that, especially after reading reviews today. I feel like I just want someone else to be able to play this with us. Yeah. And this person gets to add us on Animal Crossing. Oh, that's a fun little twist. Yeah. Yeah. I guess whoever wins this copy of Animal Crossing can have our friend code. Yeah. Or whatever. I still don't totally understand how that works. Me neither. But great. You get it. and you might not either because you don't play it so we'll all learn together hopefully if you do get it you have a switch to play it on because that would be really unfortunate otherwise you don't already own it yeah maybe
Starting point is 00:03:14 we're like gifting this to someone like we're gonna try to do it through the thing so it would actually be like increase morale you know come on guys let someone who doesn't have it yeah hopefully if you have it already like you're set otherwise if you don't have it and you really want to get your hands on a copy we would love to give one away and the way that you can win that is coming up coming up throughout the episode uh at one throughout the episode that sounds really bad no at one point i'm gonna blink and you're to hear my eyelashes blinking and you have to figure out Morse code. During the episode, at one point, we're going to reveal how to win, but we want to make
Starting point is 00:03:50 sure people hang out for a bit. Come on, guys. Listen to the reviews before you watch this game. What does it matter with all of you? Just kidding. No, we're needy. We need you to listen a little bit first. Yeah, you probably figured that out already.
Starting point is 00:04:01 But you know what? We're excited about it and hopefully you are too. And if you know someone maybe who doesn't have it and you do have a copy, maybe you can get them on board. So yeah, we'll see what happens. But we're kind of excited to hopefully boost morale throughout this and have a new friend to play. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:04:18 In Lemonland, which is my island. Oh, no. Mine's Nanner Bay. That's... Why are both of ours about fruit? I don't know. That's Nanner Bay. Why are both of ours about fruit? I don't know. That's a good question. Anyway, let's get into these reviews so we can hurry up and tell you how you can win.
Starting point is 00:04:32 That's a good idea. I can't wait to enter so that I can finally be a friend on Animal Crossing. Yeah, no, you're not invited. You're not allowed to win. I'm going to filter you out. He's put me on a list. I have. At his airport.
Starting point is 00:04:44 They won't let me in. My dodos. Okay. So I'll just go first. I have a zero out of 10 from Unmetacritic by Sothis. That's allowed? What? Zeros?
Starting point is 00:04:56 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Mine are all negative. I give it a zero. I'm saying. Oh, it's allowed to give zero. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:05:01 That's what I'm saying. We've never had a zero star. On Metacritic, you can do zero out of 10. This is life changing. I mean, not really, but it's allowed to give zero? Yes, yes. That's what I'm saying. We've never had a zero star. On Metacritic, you can do zero out of 10. This is life-changing. I mean, not really, but it's pretty cool because... We tend to only read at least one star or up. The number of people on Yelp who wish they could give it zero stars. They should go to Metacritic.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Wow. So this is what Sothis has to say. This is the first Animal Crossing title that I have played. And although I'm not a fan, and I'm not familiar with the practices and mechanics that are expected from games like this... That doesn't make sense. That's all they say. Okay. There's more, but I'm like... I feel like they were building it up to something. Anyway, next paragraph. My opinion, even if you don't agree, is that it seemed to me an extremely disappointing experience.
Starting point is 00:05:45 The objectives of the game are not clear. There are multiple tasks, but none lead to a greater objective. Or at least I did not see any interesting narrative that was spun in the background. It's sad and embarrassing that having superior hardware such as the Nintendo Switch, the developer has opted for that annoying world in perspective of Roller, and they would not make the jump to the more open world as other sagas have done. Oh my god. There is still no voice acting,
Starting point is 00:06:14 and the characters keep talking with annoying sounds. Those are their voices, and they are better than any voice actor. Rude. That was good. There is still no voice acting, and the characters keep talking with annoying sounds when this was once a technical limitation,
Starting point is 00:06:32 and now it's not. And the farming system seems to me sincerely the worst thing I have ever experienced. Very boring and meaningless. Oh, the worst thing you've ever experienced is farming on a video game? Animal Crossing New Horizons, specifically. Wow, must be tough.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Yeah, tough life out there. That is not to mention the awful decision to make that there can only be one island per Switch. Is that serious? This isn't a 3DS game. What annoyance, you are forced to buy another system so that your family can play? In that aspect, it seems to be a total scam. Game absurdly overrated, like all other nintendo exclusives is the only thing i have to say it's the only thing you have to say yeah then why did you say all the other shit good one lots to unpack um let's not though
Starting point is 00:07:19 it i know who that is you do it's the guy from um from the comic book store with the top hat it's very like remember his zine yes his zine he's better than all other zines haughty and i don't know exactly exactly um wow then just like don't play it and also to say that as if as if the reason they didn't have voice acting was because of limitations like maybe in the past sure right but this is my understanding of animal crossing is this is very much a part of it yeah it's not it would be weird i think if you played it and they had voices if blathers went oh i'm not a fan of insects i'd be like what the fuck i don't want to talk to this strange owl and also the amount of times that
Starting point is 00:08:02 certain phrases are repeated over and over again well you don't want voice acting in this you'd rather have it just be a noise that you can kind of ignore yeah instead of like hearing the same inflection and the same words come out of these characters oh god it's terrible i know what they're doing i think they do and also the amount like when people call them like cheap or whatever i'm, oh no, because apparently the music in the background, they have hundreds of hours of this music, and it's dependent on the weather, the time of day. It's so specific. You can unlock so much stuff with different music.
Starting point is 00:08:35 There's a Chrome extension or something where you can play the music based on your own weather in wherever you are. No way. That is so cool. Your location, time of day, weather. I mean, it's really cool. And so like it's very well thought out, very thorough. That's what bothers me is people complaining about how like,
Starting point is 00:08:52 I don't know, simplistic the game is in some ways. But that's only if you play the first couple of days or you play the first day and you're like, wait, I did everything I could do. What the hell? Yeah. But as you go, it gets to a point where you're just overwhelmed. You get that fucking... So many things you can can do and then you can branch off and play it
Starting point is 00:09:08 your own way you get that fucking ladder and you are set my friend you climb that waterfall get those weeds yeah this is a one-star review on uh best buys website one star by mona worst animal crossing game yet love the rest still play pocket camp i bought a switch just One star by Mona. it did not there is like no game in this game the graphics are good so my chick looks really cute running around this beautiful world bored 60 bucks flush end of review what what is the problem here her chick looks so beautiful running around but she's bored i think they don't know what they're doing i'm sorry but like okay it's not for everyone this kind of game but she's bored i think they don't know what they're doing i'm sorry but like okay it's not for everyone this kind of game but there's so much you can do i feel like if you've played other animal crossing games you know what you're getting into and like why are you so surprised that this
Starting point is 00:10:14 is like that different i mean or not that different yeah yeah that's bizarre like i feel like we've we've already said there's so much depth in this game. I think so. And I'm not even that... I haven't played in like four days. I know. You're slacking. I've been busy. I think you need to enter the contest. What contest?
Starting point is 00:10:32 Oh. Our fucking contest. You're teasing them because we're not revealing the way to win yet. All right. Because I need to give you a review, another Metacritic review. Also, I'd just like to make a note. On Metacritic, the user score out of 10 averaged around 5. Really?
Starting point is 00:10:51 You know what? Every single one except for a handful that I found were negative because you can only have one island per switch. Those got really boring really fast. Yeah, I had to sift through so many. And see, I didn't have that problem. And they at least give you, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how to feel about that. I don't either. And I know people are really upset about it. And I understand the limitation of like having multiple children who want to play.
Starting point is 00:11:16 I do understand that. Just the amount of like vitriol and anger, especially when people say like, I should have read all the reviews that say this and that make it clear i i mean just the anger i'm like it's a little much i don't think this i mean maybe i don't know but i don't think this was nintendo being like ha ha five-year-olds can't play at the same time i don't know maybe maybe it is i don't know i don't know either but um we don't have to deal with that. So I can't really say. And if you're one of those five-year-olds. That would suck for us growing up, though. If mom bought us this, not know.
Starting point is 00:11:49 Because she wouldn't know. But Alexander, she did. Like, we had Pokemon and, like, we could only. No, you can have multiple saves. I don't think we did that. Well, then we're idiots. I know. But that's on us.
Starting point is 00:11:59 So if you are one of those five-year-olds whose other six-year-old sibling has an account and you just have to, like, sit around sit around and like pick flowers while the other one gets to like talk to tom nook all the time this contest is for you yes because now you can have your own you need a new switch well yeah we're not sending you a switch so we're not that great yeah i take it back also if you're five please turn this off right now please don, please don't listen to us. Here's a three star, three out of ten. I don't think it's really stars. Three out of ten on Metacritic by Bat.
Starting point is 00:12:35 I'll update my review as I play, but man, this game is boring. Two hours into the game and I got a house. That's all I feel like I accomplished. Games are supposed to bring some short of enjoyment, whether it be story, graphics, or gameplay. This has none of that so far. Just kill me now, please. Whoa! End of review. In real life, I have 72 houses, so why does one house in a video game mean any sort of accomplishment whatsoever? One in two hours are you kidding with me um i don't think i had my first house in two hours i had it in many hours also i feel like that is an accompli i don't know i i felt accomplished playing when i had my own fucking house in this game i was like hell yeah and i live in a house i mean we rent a house but
Starting point is 00:13:20 like look at my cool house it has one room yeah and it has a rug seriously that's yellow and really ugly but i'm so proud of it i know like my nothing about my stuff is special but it's mine it's so special that's how i feel about my animal crossing experience like i'm sure everyone has the same stuff i have and much better stuff based on what i've seen on reddit but i'm proud of what i've, what I've built and what I've created. I am. I know. I mean, too, I love, even though you haven't played in four days. Yes. I miss it. I need to get back into it. I've been checking every day for turnips. And then when I do check, I end up getting sucked into it for like a solid half hour every time. So I used to do my
Starting point is 00:14:00 daily stuff and I just haven't been lately. I also have been tarantula hunting at night, which is like my new favorite nighttime activity. I watch a true crime documentary while hunting for tarantulas. And also, this is just a side note about me, but I'm taking a remote viewing course right now. A what? Remote viewing. What's that? It's like where you can be in one place and view another location. Like astral projection? It's like where uh you can um be in one place and view another location like astral projection it's it's like astral projecting but different because you're not i mean i'm still on lesson one but it's different from astral projecting because apparently astral projecting your presence is there and you could be whatever but like be seen yes how did you know
Starting point is 00:14:41 that i watched sabrina's season one oh i just got chills because i had a conversation about this like an hour ago and i just realized someone listen the guys at astonishing legends recommended it so i'm doing it and i'm only on course one but now i'm watching it while i hunt tarantulas and it's just like the most epic combination interesting and essentially remote viewing became a thing in the united states because when a Russian soldier defected from Russia and came to the United States, he revealed that Russia had all these like psychic programs where they were training soldiers to remote view into the United States and like figure out all these codes and things that the United States was like, how are they figuring this out? So then the United States Army started doing it and became a military program.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Anyway, it's very fascinating. Interesting. Okay. Sorry, this was really not something that has to do with anything we're talking about. It's a bonus episode. They'll be okay. Point being, the reason I love this game so much is because I can just play it while I'm listening to an audiobook or watching a TV show.
Starting point is 00:15:39 It is really casual and relaxed. I love it. Anyway. Okay. This is a one-star review by Jazzy Cat, who does not love it. Beware, family destroying. One overlord and seven supplicants. Now this sounds like a joke, like they're exaggerating. Yeah. You'll soon find out they're, they don't think they're exaggerating. Oh, no. Sounds like a joke review already. No, it's not. And I thought it was and then it wasn't which makes it even worse and it's long but i also abridged it so if that tells you anything oh god this was the greatest for the first couple of hours beware parents and partners of more than one gamer in the house you do not want to get this game as it will destroy any sense of peace you thought distracting yourself
Starting point is 00:16:22 for the kids with a cutesy fun game should have brought. I have already seen multiple friends no longer talk to each other, and even a breakup or two over the terrible game design Nintendo has put forth. I know it's extreme of them, but I also had to deal with high tensions like this in my household. I just want to say I like that they said, I've seen a breakup or two. Or two? Yeah, why is. Or two? How many is it? Maybe they're going through something that's a little rocky. So what? Who are they hanging out with? They're going to explain this. Don't you worry.
Starting point is 00:16:51 Thank God. It really is one overlord. And the rest of the players are just their slaves. As they can never progress the game, nor will they ever have the same experience as the first person to start up the island. Only they will ever be Nook's favorite and actually be able to make any meaningful decisions. The amount of jealousy this will cause, that's already caused that I've seen, is horrendous. And you do not want that added on to everything else given the state of world affairs and being stuck at home in the chaos.
Starting point is 00:17:20 Then just don't play. You don't need this in your life then. No one's forcing you. I think maybe there are bigger problems going on, but that's just me. Seven people? One overlord and seven supplicants? Seven? Okay, I get it when you're like, oh, my daughters, the two of them, one person can't... They're fighting over it, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Seven? You're sharing one Switch for seven people one person can't... They're fighting over it, yeah. Seven? You're sharing one Switch for seven people and you're upset? They're also adults, all of them. At Animal Crossing? It's so bad that now my partner refused to touch the game anymore, which has killed all joy for me playing on a deserted island. And even resetting it no longer appeals to them, as they were already getting invested with setting up their home
Starting point is 00:18:04 and getting a couple upgrades while enjoying the chats with the villagers that they recruited. Yeah, it lets them recruit villagers, which gives them the hope they will be considered equal in Tom Nook's eyes. This is so dramatic. I know. And that he will eventually dole out responsibilities to them so they will finally feel validated. But no. It was just a short-term ploy. We had hoped after getting through the initial stages of the tutorial phase, it would be corrected, and we'd both be on an even playing field. But no such luck, because Nintendo
Starting point is 00:18:36 got greedy. It's now causing such a rift between us and our roommate, who later joined right before my partner stopped playing entirely over this whole fiasco, that they no longer play either, when they were avid fans of all of the other previous Animal Crossing titles. But now it's just high tensions in our house all the time. It's completely backfired in Nintendo's face, being as greedy as they are with this decision to have one ruler and the rest as slaves, that they both have refused to play Switch or purchase anything Nintendo ever again, such that they immediately dropped around $200 each on Sony and Microsoft games just to spite Nintendo. Which, I'll be honest, didn't make too much sense to me, but hey, now I have extra games I can play on those consoles because guess what Sony and Microsoft didn't do?
Starting point is 00:19:27 Get greedy over multiplayer! With that said, if you're a solo gamer in your house, well congrats to you. You lucked out and I wish you well. For a while I did enjoy playing this game, but it brought too much tension and frustration to my household so I'll never play this game again and have requested a return and my money back. For all others, do not buy this game. It is not worth the headaches that have ensued.
Starting point is 00:19:48 End of review. Oh my lordy. You can just stop then. Just don't play. Oh my god. Well, they're clearly not Alexander. Yeah, and it was funny. I was hearing all these people dropping out, like not playing anymore.
Starting point is 00:20:00 It's like, oh good. Fewer people. So hopefully less tension. And no, yet somehow it's still oh good fewer people so hopefully less tension and no yet somehow it is still a problem when people stop i wonder if like they actually do break up or get divorced if they're gonna be like well it all started and you know what i to be honest nook liked me better than my partner this is a hot take but i think there are some other issues going on that have nothing to do with animal crossing i don't. They seem pretty like they're on solid foundation.
Starting point is 00:20:25 There's something including this roommate who just suddenly appeared in the picture and and now who is an avid fan of Animal Crossing games and yet didn't bother to buy their own Switch so they could play this one. Well, Alexander, also, they dropped $200 each on other systems just to spite Nintendo. Yeah. Instead of like buying their own damn game. It's like, okay. I don't know. What a mess. Whatever. Anyway. Messy, messy. It just irks me. I don't know. Oh, that's an irksome review. That's for sure. There are people
Starting point is 00:20:55 going through quarantine situations who are in much more hostile, dangerous environments being stuck at home with people that are abusive, whatever. And to just see her go, this is the most tension-causing nightmare nintendo has ruined our partnership our relationship i'm like calm the fuck down maybe you should yeah you need to figure something else out but go into the museum and stare at your aquarium for a few hours some people literally just stand there and watch all their fish in there it's really. Also, they acknowledge the fact that there's a pandemic going on and then are blaming Nintendo for how they're acting. I guess
Starting point is 00:21:29 we all need a scapegoat. Oh, that must be it. Well, because we feel bad that you have sat through all that. I feel bad that I just screamed loudly into the microphone. Why don't we tell you how you can win your own copy of Animal Crossing New Horizons on the Nintendo Switch? Now that we we tell you how you can win yeah your own copy of animal crossing
Starting point is 00:21:45 new horizons on uh the nintendo switch we now that we've told you how awful this game is and how it will ruin all your relationships yeah we want you to play with us yeah we want to be we want to be the cause we don't want nintendo to be the cause that's our job yeah we want you to say oh it all started beach too sandy water to it.

One more rule slash ask of ours. If you are able to, please tell one person out there that you know who doesn't listen to us about our show.
Starting point is 00:23:40 Yeah, all we ask, you can send us an email to enter, but all we ask is that maybe you tell a friend about the show and um you know spread the word especially if they're a friend who wants animal crossing well that too then they can enter and win and then they'll be forever indebted to us and if they don't listen to our show they'll feel bad for the rest of their lives so i think that's all we want nothing much it's nothing crazy we're not asking much um no but so that's all we ask is like maybe maybe tell a friend about us and um we'll pick one of the emails you send in yay can't wait um and now my next few reviews are actually of the same thing uh this is for the people who don't have animal
Starting point is 00:24:25 crossing new horizons because this uh this is a collection of reviews of uh animal crossing pocket camp oh on ios yes so it's it's from the app store uh it's the phone version basically i've never played it neither have i it i looked at pictures and it looks somewhat similar like it looks like the gameplay is somewhat similar. So here's my first one. This is a one-star review by JG of Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. One star titled, Doesn't Make Sense. First, let me start by saying Animal Crossing is really confusing.
Starting point is 00:25:01 And it's really a waste of time. The whole point of the game is collecting things. And that gets boring fast. The game. This game can get addictive and make you waste your money on unnecessary things when you can be wasting it on toilet paper. What? End of review. What?
Starting point is 00:25:20 Sign of the times. What does this mean? This game is so boring that I got super addicted and spent all my money on it. That's not the same thing. Yeah. All you're doing is collecting things. And yet I'm addicted to it. Has this person played Solitaire?
Starting point is 00:25:36 Because that's called... Like, when they're saying, what's the point? It's so boring. It is a video game. It's literally a game where you collect things. That is a good point. I didn't even think of that. Oh, my God. What's the point of any video game? Like, like in the grand scheme of things what's the point of anything at all oh no oh no too far i'm philosophizing again no be careful so interestingly enough i next i knew you were going to do pocket camp so instead i went and
Starting point is 00:25:59 found i was like what other apps are there related to animal crossing that are not i don't even know animal crossing and i found i went and alexander out and i found animal crossing live wallpaper app I was like, what other apps are there related to Animal Crossing that are not Animal Crossing? And I found, I went and Alex and I found Animal Crossing live wallpaper app. What? That's going to be good. That's the kind of stuff I love. One Star by Jean. All it has is one wallpaper and that's it?
Starting point is 00:26:19 Are you guys just lazy? Also, I like my wallpaper. I have right now more better and try to make it better and have more wallpapers. Like maybe a thousand wallpapers could be a good start. End of review. What? Also, I like my wallpaper better. That's so obnoxious. Oh my lord. It's just like a free wallpaper. No one needs to know that. No one cares about your wallpaper wallpaper i wish she had said like it's jason my boyfriend okay i have another one of pocket camp one star by ly titled i hate this i have animal crossing on nintendo switch it's amazing and on here the details are trash absolute trash i paid 50 us cent and it did not transfer my progress.
Starting point is 00:27:07 It's horrible. Don't download this. End of review. I want to personally mail that woman two quarters. I know. For all your suffering. I just, I just, I just, I don't know. I don't even know. She should be friends with Michael.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Oh, tell me who michael is oh you'll you'll learn just from one paragraph of his this is one star uh this is again a review of the animal crossing live wallpaper app this game is absolutely ridiculous because all it was was a glitch and when i opened the app and installed it all what happened was it changed my phone background and when i press cancel it won't let me play the game. Absolutely dumb. I've seen nothing like this. It seems like this game just is nothing.
Starting point is 00:27:51 So maybe I shouldn't have installed this rubbish because it is a waste of the time and I don't know why it didn't let me play it and it kept changing my background. Do not get this at all. I am so angry. That cannot be real. Oh my God god they were probably like someone said oh animal crossing is a great fun game they searched for it and fucking did that the number of ones
Starting point is 00:28:13 that were like it won't let me play i'm like it's literally called a wall a phone wallpaper i don't know how much clearer we can get here people they. They're like, I keep clicking it and it won't play the game. I'm like, oh, it's a picture. A wallpaper app one star for not being a game that it's based on. That's hilarious. Yeah, it's bad. It's so sad, but it's hilarious. All right.
Starting point is 00:28:35 This is my last review. This is a three star review of Pocket Camp. Interesting. By JG. It's titled Animals. Make the By JG. It's titled Animals. Make the animals
Starting point is 00:28:48 stop talking! It's annoying! But I like the game. Change the game. End of review. That's like someone's partner who's like,
Starting point is 00:29:00 no, I like you the way you are, but can you please just change one little thing about your entire existence and personality? Your voice is really annoying. You just talk so much. And it always comes out like...
Starting point is 00:29:11 And it sounds like... We're good at that. I like it. We should do a whole episode in that. Oh, we should have given the instructions. I just like that it pauses when they're done with the sentence, which cracks me up. Oh. Xander, that was really rude. I can't believe you just said that. I finally was able to reveal how I feel about our listeners.
Starting point is 00:29:35 You let them know that I was being rude. Well, I guess I kind of agree. They do talk a lot. And sometimes I'm like, why can't I just skip these? Yes. That's like one of the complaints that even five star reviews have had. And the cut scenes when people are flying to your island take 40,000 hours. It's like, what year is it?
Starting point is 00:29:50 Do we really need this game to be like, tell you, oh, we are now connecting you to the internet. Like that's the shit that you'd have like on the original Xbox when you'd like connect to the internet and be like, oh, we need to connect. And I remember, yeah. And I remember being annoyed the first day I played, but I was like, oh, well, as soon as it explains every little thing to me, it stop no it explains to you every time you drop something off and the amount of button mashing just to skip things is absurd so that's our review that much i
Starting point is 00:30:15 can agree with um still give it five stars because i'm not loony like some of these people okay so now i've done all my one star reviews reviews, so now I just have a few funny tweets that I consider redemptions. Good. Meme us out. I'm going to meme you all up. This is... I just found a couple of my favorites. So this is a tweet by Linda Holmes.
Starting point is 00:30:38 It says, Me two days ago. What is Animal Crossing exactly? Me now. I have to catch fish so an owl can open a museum, okay? That was so me. Because I was... Steven kept wanting me to get it.
Starting point is 00:30:53 I'm like, no, this doesn't... Not for me. I'd never played a game like this, really. And now I'm just like, hell yeah. That's kind of what I'm telling Blaze. He's like, I don't know. It doesn't seem like my thing. And I'm like, just wait.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Just wait. And that's... If you're feeling that way, if you're on the fence about it, blaze he's like i don't know it doesn't seem like my thing and i'm like just wait just wait and that's if you're feeling that way if you're on the fence about it try to win our contest because you will get sucked in like the rest of us like it yeah um okay now this i have one more uh it's do you know what doom is yes i had to google it they just like released the remastered version is that why okay so I googled it. I guess Doom is a first-person shooter game from the 90s focusing on the exploits of an unnamed space marine who fights hordes of demons and the undead.
Starting point is 00:31:33 The franchise continued with Doom II, Hell on Earth. So this is like a very intense shooter game, right? Like first-person shooter game. I mean, if you played the original now, you'd be kind of like... From like 1993. That's not very intense. It's kind of goofy looking. But now I think they remastered it.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Got it. Okay, so this is, it's just relevant to this tweet. This is by Shen Comics or Shenanigansen. Shenanigansen? It says, Doom Twitter. Take your time. Have fun finding the Easter eggs.
Starting point is 00:32:04 Enjoy the game at your own pace heart emoji smile emoji animal crossing twitter this dude doesn't even have 100 trillion bells yet laugh emoji this dude hasn't even reconstructed the tower of babel and has sent it to kill god end of tweet that's hilarious it's true though it's fucking intense out there it's intense sometimes i'm like animal crossing sometimes i sometimes I just be in my own bubble. Otherwise, I get weird pressure from Twitter where I'm like, I don't have all these cool things. I've been on the subreddit, the Animal Crossing subreddit.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Oh, yeah. And actually, for the most part, it's been pretty positive. People on there are very nice about it, which is good. But people have impressive shit. You see their islands, and you can't even believe it.
