Tasha Nice If you're intoí Check the B igual If you've got guts Check everything Put it into place Keep it alive

Check it out Check everything And now Check everything Check everything Check everything Check everything Check everything

Good morning Good morning Good afternoon Good afternoon Good afternoon That's correct How is everyone today? That's fantastic

Great Grat... Grat... Can we start it over? We're not live yet, are we? We are live Shit We can start it over though

I feel like... We can start it over Okay, yeah, let's just start it over Good afternoon Hey, good afternoon How are you today, Willie? Great That's fantastic

That's just super Yeah Getting used to the idea of Good morning being replaced with good afternoon Because my body Is ready Ah! Ha!

Ha! Ha! Ha! Is now fully adjusted to the idea of My day starting afternoon So... Good afternoon Oh man

You look like you're having some delicious afternoon energy Yeah, right I will say one thing though I'm very glad but This Delicious, delicious energy sugar-free Has actually enabled me to redamage my sleep schedule Ah!

So I've... I don't know if people have noticed or you've noticed, Willie But for the past month, I have been ping-ponging From a normal, perfect human being sleep schedule To that of my dad's Which is going to bed at 9 4, 4 hours And waking up at 5 am

To my old one Which is going to bed at 4 Wake up at never Mm-hmm Mm-hmm And the worst part about it is that every time I'm like Wow, I'm up at like 9 am I can have a regular breakfast

And go out and face the world And then I start a stream at 8 pm with a yawn Yep And I am like Uh-oh I have built my entire life Around being awake from 7 pm to 2 in the morning Which is now when I want to die

Yeah See, rules exist so that you don't have to listen to your body And when you have to show up for places at certain times It forces you to do things that are uncomfortable Because if you do listen to your body Your body will betray you My body betrays me quite often It will fuck you over at the first given chance

There are so many times when my body betrays me Number one Can't be trusted Hey, this is a good time to go to sleep No, it's not, buddy Yep Alternatively, you don't really need to sleep Yeah, I do, buddy

Yep Can't be trusted You really need to go to the bathroom That's weird, I actually didn't You don't need to go to the bathroom for hours Yeah No, that's not true You lied

You lied to me, internal organs Are you hungry or is that just a stomach ache? Are you nauseous and sick? Or do you just need a bagel? Yeah That one is the actual worst Because I will wake up and I will be like Near-vomiting level nauseous

But it turns out that's hunger Yeah Occasionally And in particular, the lack of sleep And to early wake up drowsiness Transitions seamlessly Seamlessly Into migraine for me

Oh, yeah? That's where the most... That's unlucky Like, it is an artistic, Oscar-worthy transition Of how that pain becomes one into the other If I don't pay attention to it Let me ask you, what kind of migraines do you get? Uh, I mean, just sharp

You get the sharp ones? Sharp Okay Sharp, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you Now, now, now, now, now, fix now, now, now Where is it, where is it hanging out? Is it hanging out in your temples behind the eyes? It's not the behind the eyes, it's the temples

And it's the like... But it's coded in exhaustion So it's hard to separate Because it's like, this is something that I would get back When I was like having fatigue at work And like, it always felt like I associate it with a severe need to sleep And not do anything

That's correct, yeah And I don't know, I don't think, I don't know if that's the same That any other people get in general Lack of sleep will make any of that worse So that's not uncommon So it's always cowded and... Cowded, it's always covered and coded in drowsiness You know, that's how it is

And it's coming in right here And it's knives, right here So for me, it's behind the eye And it's always on one side of my head predominantly And it's nearly always caused by An incredibly specific environmental trigger I don't just get them, right? And sleep doesn't do it

For me, it's sense Due to an incredibly powerful perfume allergy Which, when people say they have perfume allergies That expands to more things than you would expect It expands to any scent that a human being Could place on their body So I gotta buy the fucking unscented deodorant Or else I get vomit level sick

That's unfortunate Because a lot of people use things to smell good Yeah, and you know what causes that to happen With people like me? You get a fucking unconscious association That you hate to be around those people Yeah Because you actually feel like you're going to die

And the other thing is sunlight If I get caught walking down the wrong side of the street At the wrong time of day You know that bullshit, ah, my son's in the house Guaranteed by the time I get home I'm gonna feel like the sun stabbed me You're probably gonna need to stay away from Vegas So it's UV light

Otherwise my life would be hell It has to be sunlight I mean, all I know is that the heat and sunlight in Vegas Is the most scalding it's ever been Because it's desert sun Well, luckily you don't have to go out during the day in Vegas No They have lights for the night time

Yes And in fact, standing in the shade immediately drops everything Your core temperature just plummets Deserts are weird But it really is like a fucking angry Mario 3 son While you're out there Chasing you Yeah, if that's what your weakness is

Then you want to be fucking careful So my mom gets the migraines And unfortunately she gets them just like anything Like they're random But, and like many women who get constant migraines She has a bonus that I don't think you or I have to worry about She gets the fucking auras You know about that shit?

O-A-U-R-A auras Oh, you're not familiar? Okay, so everybody Are they like the vapors? Everybody in my family gets migraines It is an ongoing thing It's hereditary, it sucks The women in my family

Yes, the women in my family They get migraines with auras And what that is Is that the migraine is so intense That you are seeing wispy colors around objects So your mother gets the auras Yes Okay

You see stands Okay Around And it is a type of hallucination And I can only think that that is like Your brain, because the migraines You're fucking brain swelling and shit It's just pushing on parts of your head

To make the color go Ooh Yeah That sounds like That's yeah, that's not great That's basically light concussion Yeah, that is actually exactly what it is It's a company with nausea

And occasionally dizziness And it is in fact very similar to A temporary concussion So, hey mom, how you feeling? Going to sleep? Migraine Okay, bye mom But then they give you those fucking

Codeine tunnels Yeah And then once you hit 50-ish They stop giving them to you Because they're afraid they're going to Turn all the old people into the drug addicts Um, yeah, that sounds like a lifelong problem With no clear solution

There is no solution In fact, my migraines And this is the fun callback If you all remember The funsies of redhead genetics Redheads have incredibly high resistance To opiate painkillers Which means even the high end

I could steal these and sell them To street urchins, painkillers Don't do nothing So the only thing I actually have options for Is to just go run my head Under the hottest shower I can stand For like an hour and a half Until it passes

I'm sure there's a point in time When that resistance will be useful in life Well, considering my dad Went in for his triple bypass And they asked him to count down from 10 And he's like, got it And he passed out And then he woke up

When he saw them spinning the saw To get into his chest And went, ah! And then the doctor went, ah! Um, it's way more likely to kill me Than it is to actually be helpful Yeah You know, if you wake up during surgery

You just die, right? Um, is that how that works? Well, yeah, cause... I just thought it was massively traumatizing Well, that's the thing It's the trauma of waking up With people digging around inside your torso Yeah

That's not a natural act I mean, I... No, but people have survived that They just get really, really fucked up from it Well, not the ones with heart conditions Well I mean, assuming you don't wake up To the point that you are pulling shit out

And trying to fight off Oh, you can't You'd probably be all frozen I imagine And it's like when they put you under For a triple... Or anything big like that The doctor has to come and sit down to you

Because they have to explain to you Not just stuff like that They have to explain, okay You're gonna wake up in the ICU, right? You're gonna have that thing in your throat That, you know, defeats you And makes you breathe Yeah

That's gonna feel like you're dying You're not dying, you're fine Don't freak out Yeah Cause if you freak out You could just die Yeah, okay Yeah

That's the speech they give you For afterwards when you're fine I don't think there is a speech for Okay, so they took your heart out of your chest And then they're poking you Et cetera Yeah Again, I imagine that

You come out of that Probably never willing to trust a doctor again Or a hospital again A few people that I remember reading about Who survived that Are, like, broken Yeah Yeah, so that seems about right

It's the basic equivalent of Trench surgery Yeah You know, or, like, battlefield dressing Like, it's just not fucking Something you're gonna get over ever But at the same time, like I don't know, is it like, I'm wondering

Is it like sleep paralysis where, like Okay, you wake up and then You see what's going on But if they see your eyes open Then they're gonna probably know Well, I mean, when you're juiced Your eyes could be kind of open And you not actually be there

Hmm Yeah The real fun one One fear You don't fuck it, I'll tell another one One fear My poor dad had many mishaps During his trips to the hospital

So there was that one Which scared the shit out of everybody And then they juiced the fuck out of They juiced him, like, twice as much as normal But then the other one is when he went in Before he got his pacemaker He went in for a second round of heart attacks Yeah, that's right, he went into the hospital

To have a second round He's like, I don't know, that first one was pretty weak So they juiced, so they... So I'm using the term too loosely When I said they juiced him I meant they juiced him with the drugs So he died for a bit And then they zap him, right?

They zap him, you know, give him a good old Defib, right? Now that hurts They don't talk about this But that hurts like shit Like it's bad Yeah However, in the

In the ongoing, like, ah Ah, everything's going to shit That little beeper that they keep on your finger Yes For your EKG, fell off Oh So it still showed him as flatline Oh

And they didn't notice So he woke up with the With the first jolt And he's like, ah Right? But then they go, oh no He's still flatline Hit him again

And the guy Clear And goes to do it And my dad holds his hands up and goes No, stop And the dude drops the paddles And like Goes stone still

And then like just Essentially finished up And then ran away And apparently that like Freaked that guy out more Than he's ever been freaked out Working that job ever Because if he had zapped him

The second time He would have stopped his heart Almost certainly And by some little Foyble Uh oh, it fell off So Modern medicine is a miracle

Yes Unbelievable how far we've come In terms of scientific advancement We're putting organs from other people Into new people We are saving lives at a rate That no one has ever seen before We're growing ears on mice

The fact that those things Can still happen I'm not gonna look at it and go how I'm just gonna say I'm just gonna say That is the greatest Don't fuck with your health And just exercise and eat properly

Advertisement I've ever heard Because literally No matter how amazing Modern medicine is The best way to not have a situation Like that happen is to not be on the table And the way you don't end up on the table Is by just doing the healthy shit

Hey doc, where's your watch? I don't know Yeah That's weird I had it when I went into the operation Just eat a fucking salad And take a walk Because that's it

Like the temporary mouth pleasure Of that awful, awful thing you're putting in That's gonna ruin you later on Is like the real risk is When you're there on that table And modern medicine happens to fail you If you happen to be that statistic It's not even that

That sucks Let's just say You're in an operating room And an orderly trips over the cable That hooks you up to the breathing machine That's it People trip and fall People drop things

People sneeze A friend my age Had a fucking kidney stone Oh no From drinking too much juice That's the worst thing That could ever happen to a person And I'm like alright

We're done Juice is done You're out That was it I'm like no There's nothing not worth it It's like giving birth to a rock We're out

You know All of these things There's always that like Someone that is a peer Or really really close to you In terms of lifestyle or age Or size Has something go really really wrong

And you go wow Nope fuck that So I got I got a buddy of mine Who has a relative This relative is an old man And has never been healthy in his entire life This old man

Smoked as much as he could Every day of his life George Burns Eight Whatever the fuck he wanted And got to be a big fat old guy Said exercise is fucking dumb And any time a family member was like

Hey man He was like you shut up I'm a big man Right Cue a heart transplant Nothing has changed Yeah Leading to a second batch of heart attacks

And the story that was told Of their What's the cardiologist Running into a room With like a pamphlet of papers Going motherfucker are you still smoking Yeah I remember like

Yeah I've heard the stories About like I told them before But just like the dad that's like Yes I've had the replace The fucking the bypass and all that But I just want my steaks I don't have a lot longer left Just leave me alone

And you're like fuck If that's where you're at Then so be it I guess man But no like there is no age where It is worth it to possibly be waking up On a fucking table Or having a stone Or just all kinds of other shit like that

Or just like man Nah Nah not worth it I took experimental acne medication When I was young And could have ended up with crippling liver disease Yeah there you go Lucky me that I didn't

See the thing for me though is that What fucks me up is the fact that So you have all this And you can look to the past And you can look to your dad And like learn all the stories You can look at that And you can make a rough tabulation

Diet is more or less the same Smoking removed Okay then this means that if things go on As they are now This Yeah Right and you go I'm the only fat person in my entire family

There is no one else On both sides I wouldn't call you fat at all Well By comparison Okay Everyone is A family of life

Jaguar people And tall I'm also pretty short for my family Fuck off Yeah So No no fuck off No I mean I've explained this before

But like they're all tall and lean And I am the complete opposite I am like you take them And you drag that bounding box down And pull it out a little bit So like it is weird Because yeah the rest of The Madden's on this side

And my mom's side Like it's all fucking just Not me So The other thing too of course is the fact that By You know a bunch of them being like super Adventist and stuff

They have the big health message And they're eating super green and all that But in general from the From when I was first like When we were all kids I was always just shaped differently So I don't have any reference points

To go off of in my family Where I can figure out like Oh this guy's kind of like What I'll be like no I don't look anything like anyone else In my family On the bove side I'm the tall one

Right Yeah Yeah right My The bove side of the family Is often so short that nearly All the women Are technically considered little people

Despite not having dwarfism They're just really Small people And on the other side of my family Everyone is tall And the farther up that line you go I mean Fucking tall

I had a great uncle who was like 6'9 No no He was 6'6 6'6 Which I don't even know what that's like Man

It's I need stilts and shit It's just normal No it's not normal Shut up Don't you dare The I should probably clarify

When I say I don't look like anyone in my family I mean in terms of proportions Facially I can see exactly where my features come from So it's not a question of that But Yeah There's

Like I mean It's one of those things where like I've been told Like Oh you know You kind of You're a lot like grandpa

Yeah no I've been told I look just like relatives that died Before I was born Yeah So you get that sometimes But I'm still just like Oh were they like Chubby like me too

And I was like No Like okay So Not really Most of them weren't spoiled In Canada Yeah

Yeah Too many Too many Like Too many Peanut butter sandwiches Too many put sins man Yeah

At some point Peanut butter with cheese sandwiches Just that That weird experiment What is that That was a thing What is that I've

I've talked about that before for sure Yeah That is Causing a fucking Vomit reflex for me Sounded horrible When my cousin suggested it Took a bite

Legit went That shouldn't work But it does I don't want to hear this It's like the first time Okay so me Like this has happened to me so many times Well you're talking about somebody who fucking

Separates his food on the plate I know And that's fine And I'm somebody who Definitely gets grossed out by weird shit Like When I first heard about fondue I'm like that is disgusting

Get away from me Really That seems kind of normal I thought that was super gross I'm like what you're doing You're dipping Why would this type of fruit Combined with chocolate taste good

You're fucking crazy That sounds nuts Right And then I tried it I'm like no you're wrong That was good And there's a lot There's weird things like that

Like you know you hear about the Put the fries in the Wendy's Frosty or whatever it's called Right You hear that and I'm like That sounds horrible You're a monster Get away from me

And then it's like You put the fry in the thing And you taste it And you're like oh shit That actually works Then you hear about bacon Plus ice cream And I'm like fuck you

You're crazy But then it works Hey I've got one for you Salty and sweet It does a thing Would you ever test this out Would you ever dip Your lay's natural potato chips

Into mustard As if it were a dip Yeah she's out of her mind I'm not I'm not What I'm saying is You take some chips And you can crush them up

And you sprinkle it on your sandwich And that's a good shit But ultimately All of this Like trust me I understand the concept Of grossness of these two things They should not work together

Right And then someone goes hey don't Knock until you try it And I'm like fuck you Right Yeah I know sometimes The answer to that is fuck off Yeah

But as I sliv and breathe today As I sit here before you I swear to God That my cousin handed me A peanut butter sandwich Like sliced Like crab cheese or whatever That had just like sliced

Just had some sliced matzah Inside there And it was actually pretty good I don't like this And it was not a strong cheese It was like the kind of cheese That you know like I guess Like strong cheeses would be like

That'd be no Oh yeah don't get some Brea or blue It was more just kind of like The light texture combined With crunchy peanut butter And then also I don't know If you've ever like

You know when you put peanut butter On a sandwich and it's like The toast is just just warm Yeah So it kind of melts the peanut butter A bit You get the gooeyness It's that with the melted cheese

Alright I'm gonna vomit Okay that's fine That's fine You know what the other thing is though I'm one of those people that like I promise you I know how crazy it sounds I'm one of those people that like

When I eat a food And be like Oh this tastes really good But the texture makes me want to die Like I can't enjoy Fucking squid Anything with squid in it Yeah

It's the texture Fucking I'm still honestly Like when the whole default hot dog Sandwich mayo relish thing I don't dig that at all No I don't like that I don't like those three being

The default condiments Because I'm like they don't Well that's different Anywhere They don't compliment each other Whatever your default is On any particular location The condiments don't compliment

They don't I think a certain type of Like one of those long European style hot dogs With like Like a fucking frankfurter Yeah Like one of those

With like a Dijon Is great Yeah sure I don't even like mustard But I get that Yeah Right with the little things in it The little seeds in it

Yeah You put that by itself Totally You don't fucking put ketchup in relish It's good enough with just that I think relish doesn't work With any other thing That you would put on a burger

It really sucks I'm sorry The fucking hot dog That trifecta is horseshit I feel like I've been lying to you for years This is cool Yeah And you know what the ultimate proof is

They made something called burger sauce Uh huh Right And burger sauce is a combination of all three That you're meant to just put Quick squeeze and go So that you don't have to worry about Putting all three together

Yeah no that's too much work And it's horrible That's It tastes so disgusting Right I don't like that So fuck that mix And like the things that you wouldn't expect

To mix Or I'm like you know what Fuck all that relish shit Fuck the mustard on it And ketchup on the dog Right And I'm like you know what Throw me one of those mayo's

And you put ketchup And you put the little bit You put the line of mayo And you're like you know what There you go Now it works Right So those two together

Actually work because ketchup plus mayo With the right proportions Is big mac sauce If I I'm torn on mayo Because I'm not sure if it's me Or my brain that hates it Because if you put mayo on something

And if you said hey Here's the thing You put a mayo on it And it took a bite out of it It might as well just spit it on the floor Right But if it's one of those things That I ate it

And you're like by the way There was some mayo mixed in there Yeah I'll shrug Yeah But like I feel like mayo needs To be diluted heavily Mayo you can't think about what mayo is

Just eggs man Yeah it's just a gross egg sauce And it's super nasty Yeah but like But it tastes great And mayo chicken as an Asian dish That you order up tastes good But it's like yeah

So a lot of it is cultural Here in Quebec in particular Mayo on fries is the thing Yeah I don't like it That's what we do I don't like it Just give me a little thing of catch up But anyone that's not you

That lives here will be like What the fuck are you doing Had to give these fries without the mayo Well unless you're out in France Or Europe or whatever You go to the carry hot dog What are you gonna do Knock at mayo on your fries

Get the fuck out of here You're not getting fries I don't want mayo on my fries man Well Are you just gonna offend everybody? Yes Yes I am Yeah

I live in this city Just as long as the rest You fucking assholes I want catch up on these God damn fries I just don't understand where the relish Comes from I don't know

I actually also don't get it There's nothing I can think of where I'm like You know what this needs Some fucking cut up salty pickles I recently had I recently had a fucking A vinegar situation Where I ordered a sandwich on the internet

From the Uber Eats And I'm like oh I'm excited to have this sandwich So it's a sandwich that has Like okay You can add 35 different vegetables To this fucking thing Right? You can add cucumbers

You add fucking Five different kinds of onions Whatever right On this list You know the little drop down list None of those options are pickles Zero Were pickles

So I go Okay just hit me with all dressed Sure enough fucking thing comes Rife With pickles And pickles offend me Because all I can taste is vinegar Yeah

And I can't eat vinegar Because if vinegar goes on the food that I'm eating Every taste in the food leaves Other than vinegar Which isn't a taste that I enjoy Yeah So I take one bite in And I'm like all I taste is fucking pickle

It's literally There are 30 fucking things in this sandwich Most of which are vegetables And I'm tasting It's like eating a big fucking pickle Pickles are the fucking weirdest because I love pickles And I will grab a jar

And I'll crunch into some of those fuckers Like non-stop Do you drink the brine? No Yeah, you'd be crazy to just drink the brine Out of a jar of pickles, huh? Put the baby preservation water in the fridge Yeah

Fuck dude No thank you But the fucking thing with pickles Is as much as tasty as they are Especially you get a good crunchy one And you do the whole thing The moment you put it on something as a topping It ruins it

You can't have pickles on anything Because it's all pickle then You have to It's a very strong flavor Completely agree Like pickles are great on their own You cannot combine it You cannot combine it

Don't combine pickles with food When you do the Polish deli thing And they give you like the Or the Jewish deli thing Or they give you the smoked meat And then they cut the slice of pickle in there Like I want this pickle

But I don't want it at the same time as my meat You know Yeah Whenever I go to a place like that Everybody's happy Because I'm like Hey who wants my pickle And everyone's like

Hey I just I don't dig it I don't dig it It's great on its own But you can't put it anywhere You need at least 10 minutes before and after A buffer to a pickle time

Pickle needs to have its own time for flavor Because it's ruining everything else you eat It's like toothpaste Calm man It's like toothpaste It's gonna fuck with the flavor Of whatever you're tasting Toothpaste

Did you know they have like Flavor fuckers by the way I'm sorry what They have these little things you can eat Where like It'll make it so that you can't taste anything sugary For like the next hour or two or whatever What the actual shit

What the fuck Yeah they have these things that fuck with your taste buds That seems And I think the I don't trust that I think the idea behind it is to like Cut down cravings so that you can't Like if you have a craving for something

And then you can't actually say it Then you just won't eat it What about the people who just I'll just keep eating it until this thing wears off I don't know But I know that they have these little things That are like Listerine strips

That seems like a terrible idea And you can just fuck with the flavors of things That seems like a terrible idea There's another one that like amplifies You know other certain tastes and whatever And like it's a whole thing I heard about That they're working on now It's an industry that they're fucking

Trying to invest in To make things fuck with flavor Let's have timed debuffs You can give yourself I mean if you could fuck with flavors So that like Um Cause you know how it's

It's like your tongue is like Your eyes right When you stare at color For a certain amount of time And then stare somewhere else The bleed off Yeah it's called a Neural inhibition

So the after effect will be there right It's like if I said water 40 times in a row The word would go away And it would be replaced With a nonsense noise Sure Um

So that happens with your tongue If you jack the bitters up And you know what I mean And why not Excite them So if you can do something In the future that makes healthy things Taste like

Not healthy things Yeah Then that would be amazing So I mean it's absolutely An industry worth checking out And going into But right now I think they just Fuck with your flavors

I think they're just at flavor fuck Great Yeah No thanks You ever have ketchup Outside of North America? No You've never been outside of North America

Right Are you seriously? Seriously? Think about that for a second That's true Ketchup? I didn't have any ketchup in Japan No

Okay Ketchup in certain other places Like in particular in the islands Is not what you think it is It is a weird Tomato paste That has like Like it's not the Heinz

Salty thing Well I mean That you expect to get Do you have You don't have Okay That's my turn to ask a stupid question You don't have a side branch

French Quebecois relatives right? I don't think I do Okay cause Ketchup Ketchup Okay it's like closer to a fucking Salsa Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Then Heinz tomato ketchup The tomato paste Yes That's pretty much everywhere but Heinz Quote unquote Store ketchup Heinz ketchup or whatever

But that is Which is everywhere as far as I know In Canada and America Right You go to a place you order ketchup You ask for ketchup That thing Or you get the Heinz

Or you get the little packet A real ketchup can be anything You can make fucking blueberry ketchup You can make fucking Green ketchup But what you actually get In a lot of other places Is this other thing

And like for example Back in Grenada The main brand was Grace Grace tomato ketchup And Grace tasted like shit It was not There was no salt to it at all It really just tasted like

Crushed tomatoes And like Weird ground spice Alright And it was just like not This thing tastes better It just made it taste like shit And like I don't know

I guess if you got used to it If that's what you thought It was the whole time in your life Then it would be fine But like after getting accustomed To normal Heinz ketchup Like going elsewhere and having that Was like fucking terrible

Whereas other things When you get homemade Like if you go If you get like homemade guacamole It's always better You know a lot of this shit Like oh we're making like Homemade tzatziki

It's amazing But homemade ketchup Is fucking garbage Some things have been improved You know what it reminds me of Reminds me of Hey Pat You like Chinese food

Or you like Thai food Or whatever right Yeah sure I like I like Asian food Man there's this really Really authentic place Down you Let's go

And I'm like I'm eating it Like yep this sure is authentic I like my garbage fake version Better probably Yeah Yeah Because that garbage fake version

Has probably been Literally altered to suit my tastes So I remember watching Something I don't know what it was I think I was watching Oh yeah okay so in the There's a documentary about

General Tao chicken And Oh yeah that's a fascinating document And in it right They go to a restaurant In China That's American style Chinese food Where all the locals come to

Gawk and go What the fuck is this What the fuck is this Yeah Yeah I was like this is what they call Chinese Like this weird other thing

That has nothing to do with Actual authentic Chinese cuisine But like they have it as a place Where like If you're an American businessman You can go there And feel at home And have your

American ass American Chinese food Yeah yeah yeah That exists as a Functioning business You know Because it's that fucking weird At this point

I don't know man All I'm saying is I feel like our I know that our Palettes are conditioned Our tastes are like You know fucking like limited To a degree in some ways

And like I remember Hearing about how The worst thing you can do for kids Is let them eat off the kids menu Because by feeding them the kids menu What ends up happening is You just get used to Chicken finger

Oh palette Excuse me palette Well that's why That's why I like Because like you said Palettes like our color Our color swatches I'm sorry

I'm saying the word That I learned in art school Here in Quebec What do you want me to tell you It's in my brain I did it for three years And for three years Of education here

Plus art plus high school Palette was the word That was used Well you're talking on man I don't know what to tell you You're talking on a man who has A speech impediment and word Salads himself to death nightly

Yeah this is not I understand This is not word salad This is a classroom of Teachers and students and people All using the same word Well you weren't And then leaving that scenario

And being introduced to a world Where everyone goes ha ha And I'm like Wally you what You weren't eating that Patch of color swatches The palette Of your mouth

Soft palate in the back Where the go out Wooled tunnel through To get to your brain It is It is weirdly limited Because yeah you give kids Kids menus

And all they end up doing Is being like I want chicken fingers Ketchup I want fries And maybe I'll eat a fish stick If I'm feeling daring

And then that bland taste Is all they really will ever accept And then the moment you have to Switch it off to real food plates They're like Get this away from me And then they become picky eaters So you have to give them

Smaller portions of what you eat normally And make sure that they know What adult food tastes like From an early age Otherwise that restricted palette Is what they're going to stick with And be fussy about the Yeah I was born into a household

Defined by fucked up weird food habits In which All three children Had bizarre eating things I can't smell A goddamn thing This highly limits the amount of Tastes that I can appreciate

Which lead to me being A very picky eater However I was not Nearly the pickiest eater in the house That went to my sister Because for her It had nothing to do with taste It had to do with the fucking

Food on the plate Did the mash touch the fucking steak Can't eat it Like crazed Meanwhile I got my fucking brother over here With a fucking passion flaky You know those things?

Yeah He was that fucking piece of shit That would pop the fucking thing in two Lick all of the goddamn shit out Then crunch it back together And then chew on it like it's a biscuit Like a fucking freak That's super weird

Uh yeah Like the whole thing was She had a whole like fuck this I don't want to eat this Super limited, picky, fussy thing At first And a lot of that was based on Not taste or flavor

But texture Texture's bad dude I But that texture was the only thing that mattered Yeah In terms of preference It's a big deal I never had that

I'm like wait so the taste of this thing Being amazing Doesn't matter to you I have eaten things that flavor wise When they hit the tongue and the palate And all that shit This is good But the texture like ruined it for me

And for the texture weirdos Everyone's got the different ones For me Like spongy or rubbery feeling Doesn't like I like the taste of Oh god let me Okonomoyaki

Okonomoyaki Yeah I like the taste It's pleasant I will spit it out on my fucking plate Because it feels like I'm Slime It's the slime

And the fucking rubber It's delicious Delicious slime Fuck It makes me anxious to think about Right now Ok I don't have that

Like texture for me is so Like it's there And it's clearly there Because I prefer You know I can get chicken Or I can get chicken With a little bit of crisp on the edge of that

Yeah totally whatever You know texture matters right You want a little bit of crunch sometimes You want a little bit of this and that But you're doing that weird Suvi shit You want to sear your steak On one side before you eat it

Yeah Crispy bacon versus not crispy Bacon You don't want the soft flabby bacon I do want the soft bacon Oh no no Yeah I want it crispy

Cripsy is my grandmother's I think most bacon is horribly overcooked I want it crunch I want chips I love I love the fucking crunch man See I want The crunch is fun

But the charcoal is too much Oh I love it I'm down I'm super down with the black Yeah But But Well that to say

It's never been such a priority That I would throw out the good tasting thing Just because of that texture You know That's always a weird one to me Although a rubbery ass steak is really annoying You have to win it's like Too fucking

You can barely get into it You can barely bite it open But yeah man Man no thanks on that It's I think texture comes in when it's like What is it like organ meat? Like

Yeah Organ meat is the best place where texture fucks you up If you have liver If you have the biggest problem with liver Or tongue Or any of that Not Tongue's the worst

Because the texture is that of your tongue Yeah Yeah It feels like you are eating your fucking tongue And they have like They serve up chicken hearts sometimes as well I have chicken hearts they're okay But there's a

You know that part of the turkey Sometimes you bite in and you're like Oh Yeah I know Yeah I know No Just a little chewier Just a little bit

And it feels like you're biting into mashed potato But it kicks in with this organ-y flavor Yeah Fuck that Some people love that Hate that Fucking plate ruined You don't want to eat the organs

Gotta grab the napkin and spit it out It's not pleasant Alright Fuck Now I'm kind of hungry I know Damn I had lunch right before I came over here

I did So I saved myself from that I woke up That disaster I had a red bull Yeah And I'm gonna sit here and starve Oh man that's

You know what You don't need to eat You just got energy That's true It's How Was your week My week was

Overall honestly fairly dull Unexciting Didn't really In terms of the media consumed That we would usually talk about On this here podcast Video games I actually went back to dying light

Of all things Cause I saw it was on sale I was like oh yeah I had that But I never got really far That game's great And if it's still on sale I would highly recommend that people Pick it up

Cause it's super fun Cause Park It's the only game I can think of After Mirror's Edge That actually has like Parkour as the main Stay of the gameplay Wow way to shit on haze

Or Fuse What game are you talking about The first person shooter That also had parkour in it With the dumb name And it was terrible Brink

Ah yeah The thing in a brink Maybe that's the one Wait The fact you can't even be sure What game you're You're talking about Fuck all of them

Fuck all of them Brink sucks Brink fucking sucks I was excited for that game And then it came out I was like No thanks Parkour

Let's see I watched This week's episode of JoJo At which point I just I'm gonna talk Very carefully here It has been a big meme

For like a decade plus Of it just works Yes Now I'm not actually that familiar With part five Okay The part that I never anticipated Was that

In the initial confusion Of wait what happened How's that work You are explicitly Told Exactly how it works Only for you to go That doesn't make fucking sense

So That literally makes No sense at all So I don't get it We hit the credits this week And yeah let's just talk about it That's fine

We hit the credits this week And the first question I was asked was literally Wait how does this work And I was like How does it work And you're like And she's like yeah

It just works I'm like wait you're at You are asking me how this works Yeah And she's like yeah Why are you repeating it And I'm like here hold on You're asking me

And I type it into Google How does it In work And then it just Fucking goes It just goes And she's like oh no By the way

And I'm like oh yeah It almost feels like David Productions knew Because the ever Fantastic video How does King Crimson Work How does it work Came out three years

Prior to the day Of the airing of that video So the fucking I don't know how it works The fucking thing pops up And it's just like Welcome to The second largest meme

The things you know are Ora Ora Ora Muda Muda Muda The time has stopped That's number one Yeah all that Welcome to number two And she goes oh my god

Seriously And I'm like yes Right And like let's try to talk About it And we went through the basics But it's like no You're not gonna figure this out

Given the information we have In the last episode That we watched And the explanation that is Directly given to the viewer The explanation And the events that occurred Are completely incompatible

Completely incompatible And it also Changes depending on Whether you are It's like What's your frame of reference Is it the past of the Anyway

It is The frame of reference Changes the events So the whole thing Is just nonsense But most importantly What I was waiting for Was the sound effect

And we heard A little like a bell ring Like it was like a ding But there was nothing Like a chime So I'm waiting for The sound effect drop That'll be next week

That'll be next week Because Dio's clock stopper Oh, that's great Is the best Oh, super good In terms of sound design That thing is radical And I really want to see them

Not I don't think You're gonna want it up But I want to see you do it justice In a similar way Because We've come since then We've gotten

Kira Fucking the sound of things Rewinding And getting sucked backwards Awesome So like now you've got sound design Bars to fucking clear So please do it

It's just such a weird introduction That is the total opposite Of every single Jojo villain Up until this date Because Jojo villains Have been given Here's a power set What can they do with it

I don't know That's the whole Last arc of any of them What are they doing I don't know How does cars I don't know Right etc

What's Dio I don't know What's Kira doing I don't know What's King Crimson do This I don't know Yeah

It's very weird And then Iraqi himself Was like yeah I don't know either man Isn't there I feel like there was a line Somewhere from later in part 5 Where Giorno says

I don't know how my stand works Possibly If so I don't really I don't really get it myself Whatever That's bullshit but I believe Yeah it's bullshit but It's finally Friday

Finally Saturday That is my favorite fucking Yeah Oh man So Jojo's cool That remains exciting I'm glad to we're in the I guess you would call

The second half now I want to say that So that's the thing is We got here way faster Than I thought But then I also That I saw Like oh wait that was 19 episodes

Yeah it was So I'm like that flew by Because I was really really Highly anticipating White Album And boy Man do I fucking love White Album

And it's overall everything And the fact that they They got back ago in there As the voice actor I really like White Album As a stand because it is It is not a man

That stands around And punches Or does a thing It's a complete It's Iceman Yeah It's like you're fighting Fucking Iceman from the X-Men

You know like It's his armor It's a whole It's a ridiculously rad idea Of coding yourself with it The goofy fucking weirdos That aren't punch ghosts And are cool

And the fact that something That strong and that good And that like useful Gets a name like White Album And then it amplifies with Gently weeps is like Ah you're giving significance To the things that matter

It's super cool That's a really great like This is the dividing line between The chaff Yeah And the shit that matters The only real problem I'd have I have two problems

Part five One got really bad in the last Episode and I'm like Cause we finally got Bruno's backstory And I'm like Get out of here Giorno Get off the Get out of the intro

Get out of this part Who cares Right Right You were a sad kid And you didn't Your dad was a fucking Evil vampire

He has a dream Shut up Who cares Drugs Drugs are evil And shot my dad Yeah That's awesome

Yeah Surprisingly normal Yeah All things considered Pretty normal backstory A very real Well not the murder part But the very realistic

Will come by comparison Backstory to every other person Until the point where it's like I am now going beyond The point of no return Yeah I'm making a switch here Until that one

Yeah And the other part is Oh man These villains of the week Are pretty tough Good thing we killed them So that we could stop them From killing the guy

That we're planning to kill Did you see What Like It's the Like could you imagine If every character That have fought them

At this point All just teamed up And attacked this guy All at the same time Did you see that fictional comic Where Bruto is like Here Here she is

And then The boss is like Oh my God It's my darling daughter Thank you so much I did see that That's how part 5 should end And it's just like

Oh I'm so happy Stop selling drugs Okay What do you, yeah I'll give you anything Yeah No problem Drugs done

Fuck drugs Yeah Everything was fine Oh man Yeah JoJo's great Everybody loves JoJo Um I also had

Not normally This wouldn't be interesting enough To come into Even talking about this This podcast But I had somewhat of A fascinating discussion With a former member

Of the game industry Over the weekend Or Friday rather Did you I did Did you, did you see Any of this Wolves

The wind's blue But what happened What happened So let's go into Some backstory For those of you Who may not be aware Clifford Blazinski

Is a man Who worked on A ton of games He worked on Jazz Jackrabbit I'm not personally Familiar with What his involvement

With Jazz Jackrabbit was Worked as a level designer On I think A couple Unreal tournament games Which those games Had great levels And I believe

He was the creative director For most If not all of the first Three Gears games The good ones At which point He kind of catapulted Into the limelight

And like Look at me I'm like a Not like a war inspector Or Kojima But like a known director Right? Dude huge

Wants everyone to Call him dude huge Yeah, well he is That part's weird Cause I don't get it Like I actually Just don't get The nickname at all

But Kind of flamboyant Kind of rock star Type personality Director thing Showed up in that Mega 64 video With Kojima

That was great Seemed like A pretty Normal guy Maybe a little bro-ish Whatever Retire Me quit

Or he retired From Epic And then made A shit zillion dollars Investing Into Oculus Because then Oculus got bought

By Facebook And the shares went high So he got to be super rich Good for you man This was then By him coming out of Retirement Which

If you've seen The Crobecat video About lawbreakers In the interview He gave About coming out of Retirement The words were

I went to Publishers And said I want to make Another billion dollar IP Now that's A pretty big

Fucking chip On your shoulder That's presumptuous Right? And then Lawbreakers happen Everybody knows About lawbreakers

I think there's One person playing it Right now I've also been informed That The podcast's Listener peak Is higher

Than lawbreakers All-time peak On Steam Ever As a As a little You know Point of

Comparison there And lawbreakers Horribly failed Which You know Sucked for everybody Including Nexon Who bankrolled it

And then came Oh god I fucking forgot the name of it Would you believe it? Radical Heights Well you remember Radical Heights? Yeah

We did a video Took a look at it That video sucked Because The game's too boring Like we didn't really Have a whole lot to go on On there

Other than the fact That we were able to Point out quite accurately The only people in here Playing Are people making Their own Radical Heights videos

That was A bad game That was a Trend chaser That was a big Waste of money This was then Followed by

Oh god What was his name? I think his name was Mr. Le Joie On Twitter saying Don't worry guys Female characters Are coming to the game soon

And then Seven minutes later Cliffy P Went on Twitter to go Yeah Companies dissolved Boss key productions Is no more

Radical Heights is dead Everyone's fired Okay goodbye Ooh Ah No good No good Firing your company

Over Twitter Not the best It reminds me of Do you see the Hard Times Article about Reggie? Which one? Which Game industry

Employees marvel As person leaves Job by choice Ah Yeah Ah that sucks Pretty funny headline Ah

This was followed by Ah Mr. Buzinski talking about How he never took a salary When he worked on lawbreakers So You know He's a good guy

And that he paid everyone Months and months of severance Which was immediately disputed By employees going No he didn't Which The reply was Well I like to think I did

Which Isn't How money works But okay Fine So Over the weekend Over the past couple months

Cliff has been very sad Because no one cares Anymore No one pays attention to him And it really looks Like he's very upset That when Reggie retired

Everyone was like Ah we're gonna miss you Reggie You're the man My body will always be ready Etc But no one paid him any attention When he retired Which is

He didn't actually retire He lost his job Because the company went under And so I pointed out to him He made a post that said Everyone wants me to get back Into the game business And make video games again

But I'm like Whatever And he posted this Funny screenshot of him Chilling in like 90s I don't know Pop workout attire

I guess I pointed out Like no one's saying that Cliffy No one cares It's not your fault That you don't know how To make games that people like

Anymore Now that was my little Aha I poked Aha Point Poke fun at this Guy Very funny to me

Burn away What ensued was not What I expected Particularly not from somebody Who worked for a long time In the games business What ensued I did not expect

What is My genuine belief To be Cliff Blazinski's sock puppet account To start harassing me For hours because I was bald Which good one You got me

Um And then when I blocked that account And The comment I made Got more likes Than Cliffy's original post For Cliffy B himself To wade in

And Poke fun back Using such great comebacks as Well I don't have to work a day In my life because I'm rich Which seems Tasteless and disgusting Considering the primary complaint

Would have about someone's behavior Being that they fired everyone And didn't give a shit At which point When I pointed that out Did you see the wedding photo man Cause that's my favorite part What was the wedding photo

When everyone in the world is saying No Jackass People are mad at you Cause you fucked your employees over He posted a photo of him Hanging out at an employee wedding Or a former employee wedding Of Bosque employees

Literally going Look, look, see They don't hate me Huh Fuck Fuck I can't think of a single Sadder thing in the world

That's like posting a picture Of your fucking fake girlfriend From Canada That is like Look, see People don't hate me Look, I'm there in the photo with them Look, we're all smiling, see

There's so many things to unpack here One I'm just a fucking Whoever streamer Slash podcaster, right? Z tier shit Whatever Right?

The dude's a fucking millionaire What does he even care? Like for real, what does he even care? And two Bro, that's a bad way to And all I can think of Is that the same kinds of things That lead to

What's more important than everyone Losing their jobs Is that the games that I made Failed and I'm sad about it So please pity me on Twitter For the past six months Are that, oh no, my ego And I went back and checked

Sure enough The only slap backs against me came Once mine passed his likes Which meant that his ego would have been damaged And all I can think of is like Wow, Cliff Lisinski as a person Slash developer has turned out to be The exact person that I jokingly thought he was

Which is a man shoved up his own ass And ego Who cannot handle criticism Despite being wealthy And doesn't genuinely understand Why people are upset It's like Making fun of people who work for a living

Is probably the most out of touch Dick bag rich person thing you could possibly do Because almost everybody has to work for a living And people don't appreciate you making fun of that But that's just me though That fizzled out It ended up like Like, look I'm at Mardi Gras

What's the end of that But just like, I don't know man I really like those Gears of War games And I hear jazz, drag, rabbits, fantastic All I have to say is As a gamer who has played Gears of War 1 Yes

I'm a huge fan of that game That game was very fun I like the Hammer of Dawn It's a cool weapon I like General Ram Yeah, he's a decent villain I like the roadie run Yeah, it's good

I felt it felt good to do the chainsaw bayonet Yeah I like Gears of War This is a good game That's a good game That's a good game Made by some good people Yes

That's how I feel I also And this is where we get into Who knows But when you get into this kind of Public spat People come out of the woodwork To tell you their stories

Right And You always have to take them with a grain of salt Because they could just be fucking made up But my favorite Was somebody who Wrote into my stream the other day Who said that they met Cliffy at

Pax East, I think When he was demoing Lawbreakers And said that he was a big fan And to thank him Because the Gears series Had helped him make a bunch of friends Right You know

Clan stuff To which the reply came back Like you should make some new friends with Lawbreakers That's pretty funny Which is pretty funny And Like I hope it's real

Can't verify it Right Unverifiable But even if It's still pretty funny That's a pretty funny thing to say Let's get shit Let's get shit

Yeah, I don't know God seems like a fucking jackass And you would expect better Yeah I thought there was an interesting Account that I kinda wanted to Just I was like Oh, there's some fun posts happening here

I tried to follow A theme team That's funny I was like Oh, there's some fun posts happening here But unfortunately that didn't last So that's funny Because a lot of people were asking me

Why you were following Cliffy V sock puppet account I just I wanted I saw some posts that I wanted To find I wanted more of that content You know what

You know what the funniest thing in the world is To me It's like You know what Well, you have an active Twitter presence I have an active Twitter presence People talk shit That's fine

That's part of the That's part of the game Right But you know what's weird When you When somebody's talking shit And it's just like It's lame

It's not strong And you click on their name And you see that they've never made A non-reply tweet Ever Ever That they've got 35 posts Since 2017

And 19 of them Have a picture of your face in them So that when you look at the left You know, like the media snapshot It's just your face It's literally just A picture of your face Over and over and over and over

And you go Mmm Now This seems like a real person This seems To be fair Like this person's main Twitter account To be fair

You're pretty fucking bald I am I'm pretty bald And you do sit in your dungeon basement I do sit in my dungeon basement And you do stream For lack of Having

Any other job That's correct It is a pathetic existence These are all Yeah, it's accurate, yeah That's true Yeah You good there, Willie?

You good? You good? How you doing? I just wanted more content That's all You know my favorite part is So Cliff responded to me

Once the likes passed The likes on his video Sorry, on his comment And I thought that was funny But somebody pointed out to me That Cliff's actual response to me personally Came within like 10 minutes Of me blocking theme team

Which It's one of those things you can never Ever, ever, ever, ever Ever find out Who's sock puppet is who's, right? You have a suspicion, is that what you're saying? But That was about as

Suspicious as it gets Really? And the idea That a long term Game developer At one time Like A big person in the industry

Would feel so Insecure As to go after this You know what? Let me put it to you this way Alpha Gamboa Had a really good post Which was the equivalent of like

This is the equivalent Of God coming down From the heavens And walking through the entire kingdom To yell at Shrek in his swamp Like, come on bro Once again As a gamer

As a gamer that appreciated How awesome Gears of War was I Personally, I hope to see Another game Come from the man that made Gears of War I think that would be really cool I think he could make a good game

I would love to see another video game Absolutely I'm sad to hear that Cliffy B doesn't want to make games anymore I hope he makes more because I really, really liked Gears of War Well, here's the other thing, right? Is this the kind of thing I always wonder

And if you've got good ideas You've got good ideas Is that when you see this kind of behavior Even though it's not fair They're not actually related In my heart I then have to start to wonder How much of that stuff

That I liked Was this person Actually responsible for Right? So take a look at Well, unreal, right? Yeah So, you know

Yeah Yeah You know what my biggest disappointment About this whole Twitter kerfuffle is At one point Cliffy Added ice tea In this exchange

Saying one day Sometimes you just got to go all At final level on trolls Which is a Ice tea Twitter account Ice tea Twitter account This is the point I think it was like Friday

At like 2 o'clock in the afternoon I wasn't doing it I was in my fucking pajamas Where I'm like jumping up and down Going, oh my god Please, please, please Please ice tea Please

I want to fight ice tea today My life will be Like Oh, he's too busy doing monologues On SVU, man Yeah, I know, I know But like the idea The idea, man

The body count is back That, like, Twitter spat Escalates to beef with the rap game My all time dream Then Coco gets involved Yeah Yeah, you can't take on body count You can't take them on

Don't even fucking Don't think about it for a second When I was a little kid I remember thinking I want to get into a Shitpost 280 character argument With that guy on lawn order

If you could spend money To boost tweets to make sure To make sure that he sees it Make sure, yeah, absolutely Ice tea has to verify A thousand fucking boosters To just fucking kick that thing up So it's unavoidable

It's the first thing on his phone When he picks it up Oh, man, what the fuck is this? Oh, man The other thing is, like The way that got posted Felt like they thought They were, like, Cliffy thought

That him and Ice Tea were friends Because they worked together on gears I don't think that's the case What a cool game, man What a cool... Gears of War 3 is a fucking great game What a great game I really should get around to it

Because I really only Unfortunately played the first one The first one's great The second one's pretty good The third one is fucking awesome The third one's really, really good Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool Sure, for sure, for sure, for sure

Yeah So that was a fun little adventure That was a fun little Friday afternoon diversion Social media Social media is free The world we live in And sometimes it's terrible, but other times But like

It gives you gifts you wouldn't otherwise be able to get When ball basement dwelling trolls like you Yes, right Can actually reach up And touch you To creators Yeah And people that are making

And shaping the industry You know What a world, what a time to be alive It's really... It's a weird, it's a weird world Because we have all sides of it Let's take me as Bald basement troll

That I am You can range all the way from Hey Celebrated creator of this game You seem like an idiot Versus Hey, Kira Your cat, Jareth

Is very adorable He looks like a pumpkin Any direction Any direction I mean look Like What do you think Like what if Plinkett's review

Was a series of tweets at George Lucas Like the longest chain ever Over the course of like three years What happens then? I don't know That's the world we're heading for That's amazing And lots of...

Like it's not just games It's every industry Directors are on Twitter Answering questions Ryan Johnson is on there You know Talking to people that hated Star Wars Like

That's weird The idea of like a director Or a creator of a thing Whatever You know, staff, right? Going into social media posts Of people going Yo, that movie sucked

And going, no it didn't That's fucking crazy That's nuts That's where we live, man Somebody should tell Mike Yabara That that is crazy There is a... You see that shit?

No Oh my fucking god Fucking VP of micro... Fucking something Mike Yabara, he's a Microsoft man Fucking slamming PC gamer Saying, I can't believe these Terrible quote-unquote reviews

Players should just look at live streams For the coverage of Anthem Oh By the way, Microsoft has a co-marketing deal With Bioware and EA on Anthem Okay Was it Mixer specifically? As a recommendation?

No, okay It was not See, that would have been too obvious There was always... And there still remains a... There's a level of like... You don't have access You know, as a fan, as a viewer, as a consumer

You don't have access And generally speaking You probably shouldn't You probably shouldn't Yeah All things considered Because with access comes responsibility, I suppose That's not gonna...

Come on Why would that, you know Yeah, man Yeah It's a fucking wild world we live in Yeah Especially one where you couldn't resist the temptation To take the stick

Listen, dude And just poke No, for real though, if I would like to get serious Uh... Cliffy B's behavior Since Radical Heights and Boss Key folded Has been personally infuriating to me Because every time

One of his social media posts would float up Especially right after the studio closed Like, I think two or three days after The studio closed down He had this thing of like, you know It's tough, you know It was basically weeks of like Poor me, my game failed

I'm like, you're rich Who cares No one cares People are out of work, Cliff But you don't care You just don't give a shit And the timing right now is extra appropriate What with the fucking layoffs at

Uh, EA and the fucking layoffs Doesn't that wedding photo prove? It proved Oh my god People pointed out to me all sorts of hidden tech In that wedding photo One Hidden tech

Hidden tech One Cliffy is slightly off to the side Are you going on a Photoshop conspiracy theory right now? No, no, no, no, no Because I'm No, no, no, no, no I'm not having it

I'm not The word Photoshop will enter But it will enter in the opposite way that you think He's standing off just enough to the side That you can Photoshop him out quite easily Almost like He ran into the photo To be like, look, I'm here too

But more than that The date on that wedding Likely means that the invitations were sent out Before everyone got fired Why can't, it can't, it can't be Occam's razor It can't just be a happily, happily photo No Proving

See, here's the thing A happy relationship It can't just be what it is It's gotta be So, if that was the case It's gotta go under the microscope Woolly, here's the thing Normally I would agree with you

However, when somebody offers a photo like this Unprompted To go, look, people like me Yes, it goes under the microscope Because that's a weird thing to do That is a weird fucking thing to do That is weird So, one, invites probably got sent out before the closure

And two, he's still the guy who would write your recommendation As a point of contact for your CV So, what are you gonna do? You're gonna burble, just the guy who's Throw your last boss on your CV Which, to give you bad reviews Didn't invite him your way I'm just a gamer, man

And it's a bizarre form of enjoyment Because it is Becoming more common lately And that is video game Shadenfräude I think is how you pronounce it So, I have yet to play Anthem I have no interest in Anthem Anthem seems bad

However Anthem's release has given me much joy I have been having a fucking great time Over the weekend Talking to people about Anthem Because would you believe That parts of that game are so fucked up As to be actually hilarious

To be very funny To hear about and see And see I have seen all kinds of bugs In terms of weird shit happening And popping into the world We talked briefly about the way it handles loading assets In last time

And the fact that you could come in as a level two or three Quick player and just join the final battle So it's one of those things Now let's be really clear This is not Fallout 76 I don't think anything's gonna be Fallout 76 For a long fucking time Yeah, it's gonna take a minute

But This is definitely a larger shit show Than say Mass Effect Andromeda Which was its own bag of hilariousness So I've seen every bug Under the sun coming out I've seen

People psycho-crushing into space By breaking loading screens and cut scenes I've seen people fall through the world And get permanently stuck I'm seeing people having every kind Enemies with no guns Enemies shooting the floor Enemies with their AI turned off

Enemies that are invincible, etc But my favorite Out of all Somebody pointed me towards a tweet That apparently this person follows me A person named Erinchine So In Anthem your master work weapons

Which are the super weapons Your exotics, what have you Your uniques Ah, the farmables Yes, the one that you have to Grind in game currency for dozens of hours In order to roll on one, right? Apparently

The end game weapons have roll Randomly rolled stats Now you don't play a lot of loot games But I understand what that means Destiny had this It's like you can get a really You can pick up multiple guns And some will be better than others

Even though they're almost done Yeah, this one has extra damage Or this one has extra accuracy For sure So in Anthem They're randomly rolled With no top or bottom To their stat limit apparently

So they can randomly roll zeros So a legendary So a master work This is the fist of the crucible Master work heavy assault launcher I'm gonna point this to Wolves So we can see that big fucking red bar Which shows that the attack is garbage

But more fun than that Is its special ability It has a combo effect Explosive Victor's advantage Defeating an enemy Will increase flamethrower damage By zero

For zero seconds Stacks to zero Okay You have to That had to be the result of like Hitting that system up Until you saw some nonsense Can't be

Because you can't just Get all those weapons Now these are rare But I heard there was a level You could walk to That you could load in and load out of And basically keep farming the same thing On hardest difficulty

I don't know about that This person seems to have Just gotten a drop And the drop is literally zero There was a tweet that said Put it on hardest difficulty Go to this area Kill this one thing

It's not that hard And then you will always get A 20% or something So that's wacky So in addition So Anthem has a lot of problems But So there's an entire like

So you got a legendary nothing Yeah, there's an entire Like little cabal of What I would call warframe content people They've all hit Anthem Because it's a loot shooter So that's that gang's Oh, I hate that word

It's what it is Oh, man That rubs me the wrong way It's what that is, Woolly Oh, boy Warframe division Destiny, Anthem, et cetera Right

But that whole cabal has hit Anthem Right, because it's You know, there's comparisons to Warframe In a loot shooter The most important thing Ever Is that

Oh, I found a gun Oh, I found a sword Oh, cool This thing kicks ass I can use that to beat up That harder thing, whatever Or it's cool Looking at least

Or it has a weird effect You know, whatever Right Warframe has a bajillion guns Some of them are really normal A bunch of them are weird Right Destiny has its exotics

They all have some goofy gimmick to them Stuff like that Right One of these warframe content people Someone who I'm a big fan of Quiet Shy Was actually just talking to her Earlier, she's very kind

But she put up a video Look, this is my master work Minigun High-stamaging weapon type In the game Spits out a bajillion ammo, right? On your harder difficulties In Anthem

Your guns can't kill enemies She expands about 80% Of this thing's total magazine To kill one enemy Because your abilities Your cooldowns Yes Those are exponentially more powerful

Yes And the combo system Where you freeze them and whatnot And on the hardest difficulty Enemies get 8,000% Some, yeah Stronger Right

So, you know, you use your weapon combos, right? But that means that in a loot shooter The weakest part of your kit Is the one that you're grinding for That's stupid as fuck That is stupid as fuck So your incentive loop Is essentially something you're not going to be using

Exactly So why are you bothering? Well, to get the cool weird ones Problem is Weapon types in Anthem are all the same All the assault rifles work the same They don't even fire differently You get the legendary one

It might have a crazy effect But that effect might be set to fucking zero This game sucks And it is fun to watch it suck Just like how Fallout 76 Was hilarious to watch It suck Anthem is fun to watch it suck

And not only that Look at what it's in between Fallout 76 doesn't have cool flying It doesn't Well, sometimes it does But not on purpose Right But look what it's in between

It's in between Resident Evil A plus, great game, right? It's in between on the other end Apex by the same company And Division Which the fucking private test for Division Felt a million times better than anything

Than the full release of Anthem And on the other other end Is fucking Devil May Cry Where was, what is this game supposed to do And appeal to whom? Loot shoot fans But there's a better one coming in like Two weeks, three weeks

Sounds easily patchable It does not Number changing This seem, okay Numbers going up and numbers going down You literally enter the key Numpad into the, into the Okay, I was getting pissy for a second

And then you start, you keep going I'm like, okay, you're doing that thing As somebody who has played a bunch of these Types of games Sluders Fuck Alright, you've ruined it for me too now So good job

So as somebody who has played a bunch of Sluders And somebody who has played a bunch of games Upon release That were fucked up, right? Warframe was fucked up When it came out Destiny was fucked up when it came out

Mass Effect Andromeda was Fucked up when it came out Now It takes a long Time To fix these things In a live game It takes a long

God damn time So simply removing The threshold so that It can't hit zero On your legendaries I saw people talking That the reason why that's possible Is that the stacks

Accidentally went too high Sometimes So they might have nerfed all of those Types to zero Until they fixed it later Which is an even stupider solution If it's RNG, it's RNG, right? So the idea that you could just like

You know, squeeze that variable down And then Make the guns do damage again Sounds like numbers So in a loot shooter The one thing that You look at I think Warframe is probably the best example

Nobody gets mad when you buff the game Nobody gets mad when you buff the player character Okay Hey, people find out that this This thing is like super fucked up And broken and super good Nobody gets mad If you leave it in

Right, ever Not unless it's PvP If there's PvP, that's different In any genre, honestly Funbugs, people want to keep those Like you look at The movement thing, that was a bug And they're like, oh, that's cool, let's integrate

But like, hey, this gun does too much damage Yeah, okay, you got lucky, good for you Right? But it's this thing of like Nerf the Powerful stuff But don't buff the shitty stuff Like Destiny's a pretty good example

It took a long Time, it took a year plus For Destiny 1 and Destiny 2 To Work themselves up Into a better state, right? I'm not a developer And I don't know anything about development

Other than what people tell me, right? But it seems fairly clear That working on a game when it's not live Is a lot more efficient than working on a game When it is live And it can take It takes a long fucking time To fix stuff like this

It will take Over a year At least Just to fix the stuff we're talking about Right now Let alone Anything new That happens in the future

And that doesn't change all sorts of problems with that game Have you played it? Look, I can't speak for the genre But I can't speak for rolling balance changes On live Live services On live services That's right

And You can make drastic Reworks You can You just have to be committed to Like You have to be committed to Like extending the project

Longer than you thought You would in the Tail end of it In case There surely will be The new issues arise from The hotfix And then you have to have the QA team ready on that

And then ready on that And then eventually you slowly tail end it Here's the issue that I've seen it done That I see with that, right? When Warframe came out fucked up It kind of got a pass from a lot of people Because Digital Extremes is an indie company And when Warframe came out

They were on the verge of bankruptcy And it was also free It is also free Which helps When Destiny came out It came out from a AAA developer Bungie From a AAA publisher

And thus got a lot of fucking heavy fire For why does the story make no fucking sense Why is grinding for materials in this game the worst thing ever Etc. And then that happened again with Destiny 2 Of like why are we doing the same fucking thing we did with Destiny 1 Right? We put out Anthem

Which apparently has been worked on and off To some degree for 6 years And it feels like it kicked out the door a year early That Does not inspire Confidence In terms of the long Tail and support

And what have you However, and this is now my favorite Awful lie in this business There's a 10 year plan for Anthem Did you know that? I've heard that before I heard that with Destiny From Activision

By the way, Activision and Bungie Not even working together anymore For the record Hasn't been 10 years since Destiny 1 True they separated Hell yeah they did But there's a 10 year plan for Anthem You know what game had a 10 year fucking plan

For all the Warcraft We're on year fucking 14 15 now Shenmue Yeah, Shenmue I um I Oh sitting over here

Hope that the Shortcomings don't spell An aversion to anyone else That's willing to pick up the mantle Of letting Me Iron Man And customize my Iron Man I don't think that is a worry

What I do worry is that Because there's been nothing really Doing that For some time now So this came along and does it Do you, okay I feel like every 2 or 3 years Mean you have the exact same conversation

And we've had multiple of them on this podcast Right Man Street Fighter 2 is really hot We should make a Street Fighter 2 clone Yeah it's garbage But maybe it'll do well Man modern Military shooters are really hot

We should make a Call of Duty clone Yeah it's garbage but Maybe it'll do well Man MMOs are really hot Maybe we should make them MMO Maybe okay but it's garbage Yeah but maybe this one will do really well Man MOBAs are really hot

Maybe we should make one Yeah but it's garbage Man Battle Royale is really hot And in between those last 2 was Wow These Games as a service Shooters

Are really hot And that's the weirdest one Because no they aren't and they never were This Anthem And Division Feel like responses To how successful

Everyone thought Destiny was going to be Okay Because they didn't want to be late to the party Like they always are But then Destiny was not as successful As anyone thought it was going to be And hell no Destiny 2 wasn't Okay but before Destiny

What was your Schluter Borderlands And Borderlands was a weird Offshoot of Diablo And there are Diablo clones And guess what A bunch of Diablo clones are really Really fantastic

Torchlight is great Path of Exile is great Grim Dawn is apparently pretty good Balders No totally different series Totally different kind of game Think of Kotor Diablo

Got a huge The only thing that's the same as the perspective But Borderlands is Diablo with guns And the Destiny was supposed to be Borderlands But Halo It's a bandwagon that wasn't Actually all that popular and everyone fucked it up And they bought it and then this is where we're at

Division seems fine There are parts of that game that are fucked up But it's like they continued Existence and success of Warframe Will always provide a frame of reference For what you want to accomplish Yeah but Warframe's only been really successful For like two years, three years

But it's been around for so long Yeah because it's fucking free And that's the trick Like if Anthem was fucking Free right now This shit would be light hearted It would not be Vindic like I'm laughing

Out of spite In a mean way If this game was free I'd be playing it right now For shits and giggles And I'd be like wow this is really fucked up Hope they patch it Maybe I'll come back in a couple months after they put it back Because it's free

Not having to put your 60 Because you put your 60 bucks or you're fucking 89 whatever the fuck it is out here Now And it's fucked up like a free to play game That sucks The weird thing is Sitting

In a place where Like the perspective now feels Just based on the genre and it's direct competitors That it's like this project This product is now gated Behind a paywall Even though it's like You're selling a video game

And I would never be the one to be on the side of Like why isn't this game free Why is this game buy to play Why is this game B2P That's a horrible place I hate it It's uncomfortable Let me try and dive

Even deeper to that Because there's this weird thing That nobody really notices And it applies to all the examples That I've talked about Street Fighter, Call of Duty World of Warcraft, Dota and League Ok

It doesn't apply to PUBG Because PUBG fucked up But let's take Street Fighter That shit is What, fucking 92? 90, I mean fucking 91 Alright We're gonna make a fucking Street Fighter clone

Alright How many characters we got 8, great We can beat Street Fighter They have 12 now Yes Alright We can beat Street Fighter

We have good sprites And our game moves a little faster It's gonna come out and it's gonna beat Hyper Fighting came out It's actually way faster than everything on the market Our game looks super fucking slow now Well that's okay We're gonna make a fatal fury

Whatever And it's gonna come out and it's gonna make Street Fighter We're gonna have more characters Super Turbo came out And it has supers And there's even more characters now The fucking shit is crazy It still costs 50 cents per game

And the crowd is still around this machine Because they've been around this machine For the last 10 years When you're chasing the trend You end up in this thing Or the situation is inherently unfair Every MMO that came out after World of Warcraft Specifically

Ones that came out after 2006 When Burning Crusade came out Had to deal with the fact That they didn't have as much shit in their game that WoW did Because WoW had an expansion Right? And you go, well is it better than WoW? Not right now

Does it have as much stuff as WoW? Not right now Why the fuck would I play that instead of WoW? You always have to... Because you can only make so much games Because it's got a booming speaker and fatalities And digitized actors and blood Because it's different

Right? Yep You can only compete with something directly So fairly You can only make so much shit Right? And I can immediately see it It's like When fucking Anthem started its pre-production

Destiny probably wasn't even out yet Let alone Warframe rising From its fucking ashes, right? So like, okay, well Destiny's gonna have this This will compete with that, right? But that's not what you're competing with You're competing with the Destiny 2 And its expansions that exist now

You're competing with Warframe That has been built up over fucking six years You're competing with whatever, right? Is that fair? No Too bad That's the price you pay for getting in later You have to, like...

Look, like, look at the... You look at the leader You look at League of Legends, right? Most played game ever Okay, we're gonna start a new MOBA New MOBA's gonna have 20 characters That's pretty good How many fucking characters does League have right now?

A billion? Is it over a hundred? It's a billion Okay? Yeah Well, shit, this game doesn't have as many characters as League Is that fair? A fucking course!

It's not fucking fair! Does anyone give a shit? No! Who gives a shit? That game has more! Apex manages to be... Different enough Because you're using teams

And also, it's just a lot better Than some of its direct competitors Even if it was one versus a hundred It would be... It feels better It would be a huge difference, yeah But the shake-up in involving teams And bringing back some of that overwatch

It's better and it's different And whatnot, yeah Anthem wants to... Because Anthem probably looked at Destiny As its core inspiration Okay And then said, you can't fucking fly in Destiny But the...

Yes, yes But you also have to look at the individual Bioware timeline of We need to swerve off of what the fuck we were just making Yeah Into something completely new And what do we got? What can we do?

What's hot? What's hot? And what can we do? Sluders are gonna be the next big hot Because As we talked about Radical Heights Before And other examples of this

Where you're like, the studio needs to swerve Into a completely different direction In the hopes that it'll catch on it this way You know To some degree, Apex, man You know? Yeah And that was a...

I wouldn't call that a swerve For a respawn, I'd call that a pivot Because it still feels like a fucking respawn It is, yeah Alright Alright, yeah Enough of the bonuses there It feels like they took a shot of Halo

And then they fucking battle-reald it The most... The most mass-effect bones you'll see In Anthem is dialogue trees You mean the one or the other dialogue trees That mean absolutely fuck all? Yeah Those ones?

Yes, those ones So Bioware is fascinating Because it's like, oh, we gotta swerve to something I don't know How about swerving towards... RPGs? They tried And they weren't allowed to

Well, that's a whole different problem, isn't it? Yeah, it was And also, even if they did swerve back towards RPGs The people who made those There is more bio... You know what Plague's post about how to put air quotes Around developers when people leave? Yes

Modern-day obsidian is more closely related To the Bioware you probably have in your head Than Bioware is There are more people at obsidian That worked on Baldur's Gate And Icewind Dale and shit like that Than there are at Bioware Mass Effect?

No There's still a ton of Mass Effect people there, I'm sure But like... Those people aren't there Fuck the lead developer The fucking director of Dragon Age 1 Quit the company when he saw what Dragon Age 2 was gonna be And he was right

So your new activity consists of Jumping on board the train And seeing where it's going Yeah, I love it More like... I give somebody a video camera to go on the train for me Yeah, or I was gonna say Like you just get in the back with the hobos

Doing the fucking train hopping Like you're not actually buying a ticket No No Anthem bums me out So I've been saying Bioware's probably gonna cease to exist When the Anthem development

What do you even call it? Like the fucking... Develop the cycle The cycle and the roadmap And people are like Yeah, but Dragon Age 4 Like Dragon Age 4 isn't gonna come out guys That game is...

No, that's not gonna happen I don't... At this point I don't for a second Believe that Dragon Age 4 will come out And this is kind of a weird catch 22 Cause I'm wrong a lot But on the ones that are more likely to depress you I end up being right more often than not

And this is pretty depressing How'd you fuck up a Mass Effect game, man? Those games are awesome I think it's as simple as more time in the oven was needed But it was not allowed That seems to be... Every interview... But that's how you fuck it up though

Every interview that comes out about Apex Legends Is like yeah, EA didn't even look at us When we were developing Apex They didn't give a shit And I assume it's because they thought that whatever the fuck Respawn put out would fail And they would just absorb Respawn employees into the battlefield Monster or whatever

Six years Six years That's a very long time That's a very long time So you know, ever since the 360 era HD era, blah blah blah Game development time That number is not real

It's real No, it's real, but it's not real In the sense that I promise you That I've seen this way too many times That number Has a restart point in it Yes, it does, it might have two

I want to say possibly two Because I suspect there are two Dead anthems That we don't see Even if a game Has a six year development And comes out being shit

There's a level of six Six years of polish still shows In places You will see it This type of thing Absolutely looks like you're looking at a Staggered and chopped six year timeline And this was rebooted at some point

Actually go into this a little more in detail So this has been happening more and more And more and more Which is games that come out And they're like, this game's been under development For five to Ten years Let's use Anthem and Final Fantasy 15

As examples Right? You play them And the first word in your mouth is Bullshit You worked on this for ten years Bullshit You worked on this for five

Two human Pre-production And art assets And concept art Nine years ago Six years, whatever Every single one of those got fucking thrown out We had a vertical slice

It got shared It's not sent around, everyone saw it We blew a year on a vertical slice That management said was garbage So complete restart Because when a game comes out And it looks like Anthem It can't

Have been under development for six years No, that's impossible Twenty-four months ago Something happened And was like It should be pointed out That's the type of thing that happens Both Destiny games

Were essentially made in one year Despite coming out Three years apart They've been very clear in interviews That like Shit got broken And had to be totally rebooted For Destiny 1

So the game got rushed And then they did the exact same Fucking thing again For Destiny 2 And I promise you as well There's always a third conversation And that third conversation Is

Fuck I think we gotta do it again And then they look And then they make sense of emails And some calls are made And then they come back and they go Absolutely not This is fucked up

You're not gonna get another two years on this Can't do it, nope Then it comes and it is what it is Yep There's always a third call That guaranteed Happened to Destiny 2 And that is me saying that

On my own like faith Because the original Planets in Destiny 1 Were supposed to be in Destiny 2 Were supposed to be that thing where New game, okay here's all the old areas too But because they had to fucking kneecap The dev team halfway through

Got to cut all that Well fuck That's a pretty big fucking deal isn't it And then the guy on the phone goes Absolutely not, it ships it's got a ship Fucking ship it, that's it And hangs that phone up and picks this one up And goes yo respawn what's up

What you got What you looking at We can totally ship And then we create our fictional Fucking timeline Hypothetical Everything about the fucking Apex feels Like it got kicked out

Apex feels like a game that never got restarted Exactly what the fuck they were doing from day one And it got kicked out a month early But we know for a fact that They said there was a pivot We know for a fact there was And then you look at shit like Wraith's fucking face

And you're like there's no way that was fucking final There's no fucking way Yeah I think the Wraith costume Is the single most common costume I've seen Because it covers her fucking face The fucking medic one Okay

Covers her face from the nose down Fixes that character right up I thought I was looking at a bug when Her hair didn't load in I was like no no that's actually an outfit But why does it look like it's like The asset's missing She looks unfinished

Anyway Cool That's a long rant But yeah Anthem is like fucked up And then I get sad way Do you really I really love a lot of Bioware games But that

Company doesn't Game dev is weird right So say you look at fucking It was a yes or no question Yeah I know But look at Spike Lee I don't wanna Exactly

Hey man I really like this Spike Lee movie Then Spike Lee went crazy He got an Oscar Stuff like that But in game dev it's like oh man I love Bioware Which Bioware, this Bioware Has these people in it Or the Bioware name

Which has these people in it Because it's all nebulous and fucking weird What's up with you man Well Sure So I guess Please tell me it's all been playing Anthem I did a couple things

I'm not gonna talk much about Apex and Tetris They're the shit but you know what they are guys I'm sinking time into them and that's the end of that I like Mirage he's cool I Happened to get into a game where Both me JJ and Taffo

All were in the same fucking Top list at the same time It was pretty sick, that's nuts And Shout out to JJ for crushing it Tetris 99 beast Super cool She has a proper fiend right

Oh yeah one of them One of them secret The ones that you're warned about That you never knew you know like secretly Like oh yeah I know I've been crushing Tetris All these years I've been waiting for this moment It's my time to shine So

Yeah I guess I'll say one Did the Tetris fall Did the Titanfall 2 Community night and We had a blast On Origin Those numbers shot up for that night We got a whole lot of people hanging out

In the network and Played some matches and Man god I just miss The flow of the game It's the funnest loop It's the funnest game loop I think In any

Shooter that I've ever played and I don't play a lot of them No not yet Bungie Said that the trick to game development Is figure out a fun 30 seconds That you can trick players into doing over and over Right You feel awesome Jumping out of your Titan

Which is a failure But then you feel even more awesome when you land On that other guy's time And then you get to call yours back down Which is the like Calling your Titan in is not only an event It's a super It's a drop

It's an ult It's an ult And you get to fucking Play this higher level Battle while you know It's just such a fun And then all the other players turn into fucking Pions

And if you're the first Titan on the field Then like you gotta You can start just wrecking house But also everyone's little ants And you gotta squash the ants And then when both teams get Titaned up it's a whole thing Fun, you know

And the entire night Like if you go back and you watched it I was garbage I was the bottom of the list in almost every single game I played Yeah, whatever, me too when I played it It was so much fun Man, I have so much room in my heart For that game

What's your favorite Titan again? Legion So I'm fucking Scorch That's a good one too Put the gas down, light it up Scorch being way too good And then they nerfed him And I was like I don't even care

I don't even care And we're all just like My boy's dropping in And he's got the goddamn Giant gun I want my heavy arms gun and I'm gonna use it That's why you like Legion Oh god

It's a big fucking gun And it just keeps fucking Going So we played Some of the newer maps that came out After I stopped playing Including the training room map Is now a map to play against

Everybody in The gauntlet is a room You can fight in and it's amazing That sounds cool Because you're always on the wall There is no time to hit the floor You are on the wall the whole time Every gunfight is in

Midair, every single one The double jump The fucking grapple The stim Just wow And I just really gotta get You enjoy playing with the future Abilities that will be turned into characters

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly The skeleton is dead I went back and looked at all the tacticals In Titanfall 2 and I'm like oh that's a character That's a character Absolutely I think I'm gonna What I really do need to do is go

And actually get the hang of bunnyhopping for real Because I was not doing any of that And that's a huge difference as well But yeah, just having A really good time Playing matches With the network There's an issue in terms of

The best way to queue up With a lot of people And it's tricky to Play together Because I was trying to play with Skull You have to either invite the whole network and then kick one Out but you can't really kick people Or queue up at the same time

And count it down So it wasn't really made for hey you and me make a room And then we can invite the network afterwards You couldn't do that unfortunately and that sucked But all that to say that You know I was feeling Comfy with my alternator Doing my thing and then

Got a recommend to be like why don't you switch to the Ava 8 Why don't you Why not shotgun it Oh I don't know I sucked last time I tried it out But okay and then it started working out And I was like oh fuck And then someone was like why don't you try L starring it And I was like okay that's the

I don't know I never really and then I tried Picked it into work and I was like oh yeah You know and I got my one moment I got a one moment right before the end of the streamer I was like yeah I got like three kills Right there and like almost working on a fourth Because we were doing different game modes and we did like Part port capture and stuff

The number one thing We had a really good time thanks to anyone that Tuned in and played The number one thing I heard the entire time was Fuck I'm a PS4 player I don't have it on PC sorry PS4 version was more popular I think it is actually still the most populated version

And That happened so much that Uh I'm like you know I guess I kind of have to Do another one You just gonna have to I think I just have to do a PS4 night Don't have a PS4 progress on lock

Yeah so you'd be a generic You know what I mean so that so I mean I'm gonna maybe go and just do some just to get some stuff But like That's one of the biggest hindrances But like there was more people Going oh fuck I have it only I only have on a PS4 then there were people going fuck yeah

I'm waiting and that's a huge sign That's a bummer So I think there's no choice really there You know my friends Like dude you haven't done that For like you haven't gone back to play fighting games On other platforms like and I'm like yeah I guess but in this case it's kind of special

Because we're trying to resurrect the dead a little bit I mean Titanfall is the best fighting game of all time I don't know if you know that So it's different I won't argue Yeah sure it's a stupid Statement how could you argue Uh

So yeah that happened that was a great time I just I will say that Switching back to apex later that same night Oh it's slow I was like why I want that double jump Well you know but it's gonna happen every time It's possible that octane

Or profit Will give you your double jump Or Your don't forget about Float while you ADS in midair Yeah that too That's an ability though in apex That would seem like a really good way

To get yourself killed instantly Agreed Sounds like a way to get killed But nonetheless The rate at which people die in Titanfall Is really important Oh it's like a fucking blank So that's a fucking great time

Gotta go back in there that's what I did Excuse me I'm just gonna get up and Grab some energy Sure I also Excuse me I took a quick look At uh Travis strikes again I don't know if you took

If you checked that out at all No more heroes 2.5 Not really Took a look I looked at A video of it Okay and when is this

Seriously the whole game Yeah that's how I feel about that So uh I Played just the beginning And uh I got a very very Like I had a really huge Suspicion that

This was going to be A very pseudo feeling Experience in the sense that You are Frothing to get to the next cutscene Because these cutscenes are gonna be incredible And this plot Is gonna be through the roof

But this gameplay is gonna Really slow you down At times And yeah I will say that's kind of The impression I got The problem is that within the time frame That I played which is really just the beginning

I can't give an accurate Statement on that because I know That you're playing on a console that's a death drive And it's gonna switch up To you know what I mean Like you're gonna switch up games The whole thing about playing multiple games And getting stuck in the console

But The Introduction of everything and like the fact That they're bringing in all these franchises Into what I'm gonna call the Sudaverse is kind of nuts and cool You can see the ridiculous like What like they spent the time

And the money making these crazy action cutscenes And whatnot Go places But your gameplay Is really Arcady and Xbox Livey Xbox Live Arcady even

And By the end of that First hour and then that boss fight It's kind of like Okay So Yeah So that seems like the biggest issue is kind of

Just like there's not Like the one thing that would save it Would be enemy variety And by the point we got through There wasn't a ton of enemy variety I hope later on In the game it really really Mixes things up because gameplay

Is gonna be really on the stagnant side While You're getting rewarded with these awesome cutscenes And tie-ins and story You know And I saw there was a video out there So it's subspace emissary Yeah

There was a video out there of Already someone's hour Long analysis breakdown of What this plot means Because No More Heroes always Has a subtext And then a subtext to the subtext And in this case

There is that It's been confirmed to be present However, you have to get through The fact that you just described it As levels That you have to get through That sucks That sucks to hear

So In it also The other thing too is that I hear that this is An important chapter In the Travis Touchdown saga Shut up And that it actually matters In that way

I do And there's crazy secrets To unlock and find out Sure But if the meat and your meat and potatoes Ain't no good Yeah It's only so much cheese you can put on those potatoes

Yeah, it seems like It seems a bit odd to skimp on the The gameplay as opposed to the The cutscenes, you know But anyway, that's kind of the brief impression I got from playing it Ever so shortly But that was a video as well that's going to pop up on Woolly vs.

A little bit I went to go see Alita Battle Angel last night Faced like an angel But a body built for battle Uh-huh I don't know if you are familiar Nope

The first thing I ever heard about Alita Battle Angel was James Cameron keeps talking about How he wants to make a battle angel movie For decades That's literally the first thing I heard Okay, so The year is

Must have been 2000 I'm in high school And I catch wind that Battle Angel Alita A.K.A. Gunnam A.K.A. Galli is getting Uh A film, a Hollywood adaptation

And a film A film Alongside Ghost in the Shell What? And I was like this world is fucking crazy Five years after That shit had just hit us And your brain is going that's so exciting

Fast forward 15 to 20 years Yeah And those things go through Whatever form of development hell they go through But to be fair, Cameron Has a fucking He has a habit of

Calling things, he points at Signs that are like 30 years down The line where he might not be around anymore I just want to point out That every single day I thank our lord and savior Jesus Christ In the morning that that Akira adaptation is still dead

Yes, yes Uh, that I will not abide Steven Spielberg's name attached to Ghost in the Shell Was a cause for celebration back In high school Things changed We all waited around for Alita

And we finally got to see That big eye trailer And it was in Robert Rodriguez's hands You're like that's a weird one, but okay Trouble maker studios Planet terror Let's see what you got Sin City, etc

And I got to say It's a fun movie I've been hearing good things about it all weekend It is not perfect It's fun In comparison that anyone would make With like the fact that like that and Ghost in the Shell Were announced around the same time

And they're both about These cyber brain girl Protagonist in a Future tech Cyberpunk world and all that stuff Alita is not philosophical at all In the Ghost in the Shell way So don't expect that

Source material wise It's a manga that's been around for a while I only read a couple chapters of it I never made it through the books So I was coming into this Mostly cold With a couple of chapters of reference From the beginning

Now Yeah, it The eye thing You get used to it It manages to normalize Apparently they toned it down I don't know if they toned it down I don't know if they toned it down

It's what I'll say Because it still feels weird at first And then you go through it and you're like Yeah, this is fine Well, there's Reasons She's from another place Ah, fuck it

She's from the mangaverse Big eyes, small mouth That's how they do it I like how you said that They Yeah, that parts The Overall

I would say that it's fun Actions fucking solid doing what it does I went in with two Expectations Or two demands, I should say I wanted to see A cannon drill And I wanted to see a cannon spike

I should back up Are you familiar with The Street Fighter named Kami? Yeah, I am Yes, the cannon drill is a low Twisting, like kind of torpedo And a cannon spike Is a kick variant

Of a shoryuken It looks It launches in the air with that kick It looks like it hurt And her wall bouncing Maximus Spider Super Killer B combination I'm familiar with these things

Her moves are 100% Panels directly from Battle Angel Alita Cool, the inspiration of her character There's artwork Of her that is identical To a pose From early on

Battle Angel Alita Kami's eyes are Actually really big in Street Fighter 2 Pretty much, and she's got the Pouty lips in that one art with the scar She's 100% inspired That's where she came from The fact that she has her dog tag

Says like C-A-M-M And whatnot There's a lot of that Her fighting style is basically panzer kunst It's what she uses in 100% You want to find out more You can head on down to I don't know if it's still around

But KamiFan.com Has a full on breakdown of the panel by panel Comparisons of her moves I wanted to see those Kami moves Not only are they in there But all the other Really awesome shit is in there And these dope ass fighting game

Moves get used To great efficiency What you're saying is you went to see the movie And you saw some anime shit on the screen I did, I did Problems One, there is a lot of plot That has to happen in a short amount of time

Therefore pacing Is really fast If not uncomfortable at times However alongside breakneck speed Pacing comes a need To care about characters More than you've had Time to adjust to them

So you're kind of You're given very quick pacing And then you're very quickly given soft Music to relate And have moments with people that you're like I don't know you On a scale Of breaking bad at the bottom

And fox Spider-man cartoon At the top Where does this fit in pacing wise This is This is a 7.5 To 8

That's pretty fucking fast As close to fox spider-man cartoon That's crazy Now some of it You can chalk up to the fact that The main character you're following Is also Waking up and having their first memories

So You know how high school drama is the most important thing In the world to kids in high school The moment you get out of high school who gives a fuck And you're like oh if I only had the perspective To know how much life did matter But you literally can't Because when you're in high school

That's a third of your life That shit that happened on the playground That happened and that represents That beef represents 50% Of your existence So with that With that Okay this robot doesn't have

A whole lot of time as a reference point Therefore Things are going to be amplified Because how could you possibly understand The greater context here Also robot yes You can chalk that up a little bit And for the most part they do give

Reasons for Some of the questions in the accelerated Plot and pace They give explanations for Them including there's a moment of just talk Where I'm like just talk And the characters are like No it doesn't matter though and you're like okay

Alright fine it doesn't matter But Here's what I'm going to warn and put out there So pacing is really really fast And uncomfortable at times Main Supporting character Character goes by the name of Hugo

Okay Oh God So you've got Now Are you talking about the character that's played by Christoph Waltz? No because Christoph Waltz Guess what he's doing

He's being Christoph Waltz I fucking love Christoph Waltz And Mahershala Ali Guess what he's doing He's fucking doing it He's being Mahershala Ali The Fast is all

Like they're acting and doing their thing And being the characters And they're being great And this fucking kid Oh it's the fucking guy with the motorcycle This kid Rolls up Into the fucking story

Right off of the set Of Degrassi And he starts acting Like student bodies boyfriend He starts acting like A quarterback in a Disney show I hate this And he's tucking his hair

And he's like hey Let me show you something And you're like this dude Fucking sucks And not only does he suck as a character He sucks unfortunately as an actor He's doing a bad job And everyone around him

Is crushing it That's really awful It sucks because he's so important But the world Is like doing their jobs And he's barely hanging on It was really rough You know?

I really It made it hard It made it very hard Because like you know She has a human connection That she's trying to make and what not And this fucking dude Just can't keep up with these delivering lines

Like you're watching them on TV or Disney afternoon And you're just like Enough of this And then his actions as a character also suck Oh wow So it's all really terrible Would you describe this character

Slash actor as a Blemish on the film It's My low point Certainly And the And the things that he does Are like

You're a dumb teenager But it's the combination Of doing those things while being A bad actor That makes me go fuck this kid The whole time It's one of those things You're watching stranger things

And the kids are being stupid But the kids are all A plus actors You're like sure fuck it They're like 10 You're stupid shit like that That's totally normal So I gotta give props to this

For cramming Despite the breakneck speed pacing They cram a lot of story And a lot of Plot and things There's a lot to carry And they manage to do a decent job Hinting at what they need to

And setting things up in a way One of the early things I heard Was the fact that It's a cyberpunk story That At first can't decide Whether it's about action and fighting Or whether it's about sports

What? And then it ends up Kind of doing sports For a while And then switches over to fighting What sport? Yeah There's a cyberpunk Roller derby I didn't get that impression

It's really important What? It's a huge part Of the story There's sports And they're big future cybersports And they're the reason why All these rad Combat things exist

On people And it's like It works They set it up and they do it In a manga sense you're like What do you want to be? What do you want to be? And in this case they find a way

To marry them and make it work Do you want to be sliced off life or murder mystery? So all that is done really well And again The You've never seen more CG Everywhere Since Avatar 1

Right? Great But a lot of it is done Really well And a lot of it is Looking at it going Is it? No No that works There's a couple of moments in the trailer

Where you see a normal person And then they open up their jacket And then the f**king parts just come out Those moments And you look at it and you go But then as soon as You're like is the camera going to start blurring and moving quickly And it's like no it focuses on

The parts And you can see them doing their thing All in all Go see it It's fun It's kind of dumb She's charming She's a really lovable character

Kristoff Waltz is great So Even if this movie was terrible I'd still say it was worth it Just to see Kristoff Waltz Hang it out And kind of flirting with Kuzuna Ai During one of those weird promo events

Did you see that? I did not They have the cast of Battle Angel Alita And a f**king screen Sitting next to them And Kuzuna Ai comes in to talk to them That's It's f**king weird

But totally on point On brand Can't say that it's not Holy f**k Has Mahershala Ali blown the f**k up That dude is Okay He played

Remi Danton in House of Cards Didn't see it Well The black guy from House of Cards Is now A multi Oscar winner That's in every movie that's out He's in every movie that came out

And he's going to be in every movie coming out Mahershala Ali Mahershala He has a very distinct face He's f**king great He's solid He's caught in the f**king blue mouth He's caught in the f**king blue mouth

He's crushing it in everything And he turns down nothing He turns down nothing I don't expect him to pop up all over the places That he does and he does He has like He's probably the most recent Oh his prowler

In f**king Spiderverse Spiderverse I want to say that he is He's like The first new Maybe I'm wrong But I feel like he's the first

Newly knighted AAA Not AAA, A-list actor in a way Like he kind of came House of Cards popped up Then he just started taking work after that And very quickly became The dude that's in everything And he's like absolutely

I'm not even like If you pull up his IMDB I can't even imagine what it looks like Of upcoming projects and whatnot But yeah So I'll Chalk one up to Adaptation worked out

Now I can't comment on faithfulness Or detail changes because I'm not familiar With the original man god In an isolated system Worth it And It's an interesting world that wants to be Revisited

I just hope it doesn't take another 19 years to get there Hey I only saw just the trailers See nothing else It looks a lot visually Like human revolution to me Am I crazy? No you're not It does look like human revolution Or rather human revolution probably looks like

It took a lot of inspiration from that You're walking around hangshot You're talking to Hansers I might as well just see it for that Because that type of art Is my shit I love that stuff But you have to keep in mind

That it's Not The future that you can see from here It's the future so far flung That your brain is going to stop For fucking people's faces on robot Torsos like just Go on

You're too many years ahead to Cool Wow that That's past Star Trek really far That's really fucking far Hundreds of years past the point Where you could possibly imagine

What it might be like So just throw it so far ahead That you're looking at magic And that's the important part of the setting And it's old too right We love near future Because it requires Really detailed world building

That show you the things you like And how you get from right now To kind of over there And I'm always fascinated By the thing I want to pay that attention To the most is what is the Average homeless person in your Future setting

What are they unimpressed by Haha The dude on the street sitting there Jingling his cup What ridiculous magic thing happens In front of him and he just goes You're a fucking robot dog That is what's going to

Set up your expectations And in this case You're just looking at it so far Pass anything you recognize that Completely post transhumanism You're just looking at magic It's not even a question It takes seconds to establish

That it's like This is going to be kind of a poll But are you familiar with the Fantasy setting for It's called New Manara So it's They used it for the new Plainscape Game but it's an existing setting

And it is Like a million years Into the future It is like just Absurdly impossibly far Into the future in which There have been seven Like Star Trek level societies

That rose and fell And they all use completely Different technologies And no one knows how Any of it works But it's all clearly technology But it's all magic So the nanites swarm

And the fucking cloning bath And all this crazy fucking shit It's fucking goofballs That's interesting You might as well be praying to different gods Yeah, okay So that's fun Um

And yeah No, that's pretty much it So With that, we should probably start talking About the news but this week What are you going to be taking a look at? So me, Pat, Patrick Wawaii I'm going to be over at

Twitch.tv slash Angrius Pat That's a Twitch stream where I play video games On the live and talk about bullshit Much like you've been hearing here On Tuesday I'm going to finish off Ace Combat 7 So everybody stop whining at me Plus that game's rad On Wednesday I'm going to play New Vegas

Because that game's forever On Thursday I'm going to play more Yakuza Kiwami because people seem to like that And on Friday, right now Probably just hang out and play some Apex Legends Probably just chill and play Apex Legends And those all start at 8pm Eastern And then on the weekend, fuck off

It's my days off, man Uh Over at Woolly versus Jet Set Radio continues There's a I want to say Zoda the Ender Is just wrapped up although we might Have a little EX mission for you guys

But Yeah, Zoda the Ender is just wrapped up And yeah, RE2 continues And Jojo's Bizarre Adventure 7th Stand user continues Started a new project that should be Coming around Sometimes soon

With one Austin eruption We sat down and we had some fun With Such a fucking solid idea I was like hell yeah Woolly and Austin Full LP Playstation demo discs

It's a good time Careful with that fucking beautiful Jo1 It's a race save file Oh shit, okay So that's going to be coming up soon And Me and Reggie are also working on something as well Because Jet Set Radio's done so

We got a new LP coming up that Is currently Going through some planning phases And figuring a little bit of shit out But there's There's a fucking There's a ball that's been thrown up in the air And we're not really sure when we'll catch it

Yeah, but right now I mean just to throw it out there So yeah we're going to be so the current cycle We're going to be cycling in the Woolly and Austin play Playstation demo discs And Me and Reggie Are going to be sitting down and going

Through The wonderful 101 We're doing it. What's that? I've never heard of it, it must have sold Poorly So that should be a fucking good time Everybody Stay tuned, stick around

Channel content continues In the meantime, stream wise We're going to be doing some Uh We're going to be doing fighting games on Tuesday This Tuesday we have Something special planned, but it depends It's temporary, it's a tentative plan

I don't want to jinx it And I don't want to, I can't confirm it So I can't announce it But we're going to be taking a look at something cool Hopefully And then this Saturday Not sure yet I had some plans

Um Might, I don't know Well I got, I mean I got to talk to you about when we can Pick back up with RE2 I can do RE2 this week if you want to But if you have something else you'd rather do There's other stuff that was on the slate

That I do need to consider though So yeah, we'll take a look We'll take a look and we'll see But lots of stuff coming All of that available if you want And on YouTube, so stick around Fun times And with that

We can go into news Hey guy What's new in the world this week I'd say the biggest thing Oh shoot We've been doing a Okay that flew by Yeah that

That Schluter talk lasted a really long time But that's okay We've got time Let's talk about I hate that you invented that word That word sucks You suck Burn it, burn it in

It's burned in, that's why I'm mad Reggie Steps down Bowser steps up Did you see that fucking Seattle Times article Which one? It's the funniest fucking thing I've ever seen There's a lot of funny ones

Uh, fucking Doug Bowser New president of Nintendo of America Yes, he shares the name of a Pokemon Uh Oh man That's fantastic Never change

Yeah man, Reggie's done He's stepping it out in April I'm tired It's hard to have such a ready body all the time But his plot That started with him saying That he was all about kicking ass and taking names Has never been

Could have been more successful Absolutely He showed up and went I'm a badass And everyone was like that guy's a badass Nintendo needs badasses right now He said it at a time when people were desperate For a mature Nintendo And he got that spot

Reggie always has this incredibly idiosyncratic Way of speaking Which for a long time I interpreted as awkward But later came It's like oh it's kind of genuine Like he just talks a little Off and it made him

Very like Reggie Yeah and he wants to say That he's had a great time All of these years And like it sounded kind of fake and awkward But he's so consistent I'm like oh I think that's how Reggie talks That's Reggie

And I liked it That's the RFA Now Doug Bowser's kind of fucked on that Because he's got the cool name So he's got to live up to it But that's all he's got to do though For the first year he can coast On the name

And the fun from the name I really hope Doug Bowser Is A goofy man Because it is his fucking Responsibility To play into this Pretty much

Now the only question is What does he sound like I don't think I've seen him talk Or I don't remember it But I certainly do hope that It's like Hans Molman Yeah That's really

My wish That's not fair I wish a bunch of people sound like Hans Molman I'm praying to Jesus right now On stage at a Nintendo director On video For the first time I can't even do a molman

Mo Nintendo I can't even do a molman I'm Doug Bowser He's got to come out A little bit of millhouse if you need it A little bit of just all of it I need a goofy ass voice

You know what they need to do right What they need to do is when the next time This like Scantily clad blonde With the fucking Bowser shell walks out And takes the crown off And there's a poof of fucking smoke And then Doug Bowser walks out

Yeah but Yeah but they hate Bowser Shut up he's Bowser he can do whatever he wants So yeah man There's not much to it besides the fact that Reggie had a successful career Enjoy your retirement man He did his thing

He played smash He was very bad at it He became a JoJo character For like a second He had a Fist of the North Star character rather Yeah he had awesome videos Fucking fighting Iwata He became a Muppet

He just gift He became a Cyclops Fuck I don't remember that He eye-lasered somebody and she melted You know what my favorite thing Reggie ever did was not supernatural It's when Bill Trinen made fun of him Yes and he sent him to Japan

For like a year You get the fuck out man The fact that the guys Doing that were like Okay Bill's moving to fucking Japan for whatever Right Can we use that Can we do a fucking bit where

I send him there out of revenge Bill got killed It's the best That was fantastic A lot of fun gimmicks Video games are fucking weird By the way in the video game industry is fucking weird Because we're talking about

This CEO of a major company As if he were a god damn anime Cartoon character But that's what my point was It was part of the job I was about to say that they decided to lean into it When they realized that the people That are spending money and hanging around

That they've had fans for years Are all following them as individuals As if they were celebrity characters Or cartoon characters Then they realized let's just have fun with it My biggest disappointment of Kazurai getting promoted To being the president of Sony Is that we didn't see more goofy bullshit

Come out of Kazurai's mouth as a result Because Kazurai would say some goofy Bullshit I mean Yushie is pretty fantastic as well Yeah Yosuke is great Yeah absolutely leaning into that Cartoony shit The thing with Reggie is that his entire career

Is just in that frame Like the moment he said Kicking ass and taking names That was it You're now born from memes And two memes you shall return Then he goes my body is ready And in my mind I'm like he knew

He fucking knew So you know Like I feel as if over the years Yeah we've had The people that you see on stage At every fucking Microsoft conference Every What's his name again

John Layden Not even Layden, no the Microsoft guy The evil one Or the good one Phil Spencer Spencer right You remember that fucking asshole They had run in the thing

When we have a console for you To call the Xbox to see that fucking piece of shit Sure What the fuck is his name I don't know but you see but that's why I was always so excited about Jamsey And I know And I know

No one remembers Jamsey and I'm doing this Bit one more time even though it's been At least two years since I brought him up The fuck are you talking about Jamsey was the Japanese Xbox representative that shaved An Xbox logo into the back of his head And this guy

Was gonna push the Xbox for Japan And he was a character And he was basically becoming a cartoon character And then it went away They didn't lean into it And I was sad because it had Potential I feel like Phil Spencer is a little bit

Of a cartoon But then tries to be real but the realness Is fake He seems nice enough You know who's really good at it Currently I think Sean Layden is probably the best At this meme game But you can feel the business within him

But then he knows to take the suit off And like When he was chilling When we were watching those Let's Watches Oh yeah it was fucking spitting poison At the screen And then he dressed down every other Appearance ever after that

Because that reaction must have been fucking universal And then he's just hanging out and like You guys like Vib ribbon? Yeah I do And then he did the PlayStation Experience thing Which was him just hanging out on a fucking couch For an hour

We haven't seen him since He became Yeah he leaned into it and understood That you needed to have a little bit of charm And you couldn't just stand up there and be like Suit and tie Here's our earnings and quarterlies I feel like the video game industry has the highest proportion

Of sycophants and insane Cynics of like any industry Cause like there's people who are like I love you man Gianna People who are like this businessman seems evil Because He wore an indie shirt That is appropriate for the venue

You know like there's like Just the absolute farthest extremes There's Oh my god Nintendo's I'm gonna come and there's like This fucking businessman Yeah he's a businessman of course he is That's how he got the job

That's how he got the job by being a fucking businessman But you're like fucking Gameers should be running Real gamers should be running the show Yeah Fuck off Farewell Reggie Bye Reggie

You had a good run It was good for you to go to Nintendo You probably wouldn't have gotten this level of warm Reception of your retirement back at Pizza Hut You left without controversy And everybody thought you were a cool guy Um Yeah that is pretty wild isn't it

No I'm not supposed to say Here's a weird one What the fuck are you talking about Just fucking say it Next month GDC is popping up Yeah And there's currently a little bit of

An ARG That is going on I'm too broke to go to GDC No That's a different thing But why this thing is Taking it's sweet time loading Hopefully it'll pop up soon

People are saying that it might be Possible that It might be possible that there's a gateway time out On its way That's crazy I'm talking about the fact that There might be a Vampire the Masquerade announcement That'd be cool

But that is Sounds really not real It's a really cool setting That has been incredibly, unevenly treated In games So this is a fucking Roll a D100 In terms of how excited you should be

Right So Paradox Interactive are the folks who Two years ago No more than that 2015 Paradox is cool They bought all of White Wolf's properties I forgot about that actually

They bought all of White Wolf's shit So Even the weird shit no one cares about Because that mage stuff is lame So they bought All of it and now they're the ones That own Vampire the Masquerade And they are pushing

An ARG called Tender Which is a dating app that links people Based on their blood type And it looks legit But if you log into it with your Paradox account You somehow are able to log in Okay

And so people are basically looking at the app And there's leaked memos And weird shit about like Yes, again the blood type thing In some sort of meeting In San Francisco on March 21st And Everybody's thinking that

This is Mark the Date This will be the biggest announcement in the history of the company Towards the idea that What does Paradox have to do With blood and Tender It would be Vampire the Masquerade for sure And telling everybody to go to one location

Vampire the Masquerade is the most popular out of all The properties they bought So everyone's thinking we might be seeing An announcement related to Vampire the Masquerade If they're making it, there's a good chance that Obsidian Will be working on it Obsidian and them work together a lot And that seems like a natural fit

Now the idea is Would this be a new thing Or would this be a remade thing This would be a new thing for sure Absolutely I think people would be just as excited If it was a fucking remake though A remake that worked

That's what I'm trying to, that's what I'm saying A remake that you don't have to go through Mods and mods and mods to fucking I should point out every time somebody tells you To play Vampire the Bloodline Masquerade They're like the mods fixed it now That's always a lie Quite frankly, a re-release

That included all the mods No, no, no That game was built off of toothpicks You'd have to remake the whole fucking thing That's why I asked the question Because it would be worth it It would be a worthy endeavor to get a version That didn't have problems

But that's possibly interesting And exciting and we'll see what happens We'll see what happens in March A time where we couldn't care less March is a month in which I don't give a shit about fuck Because DMC and Sekiro are out Well

You guys excited for the podcast during those months? Guess what we're gonna talk about Fuck those months, how about right now? Refreshingly There are no major DLC plans For DMC5 outside of one big free update Which would be Bloody Palace So the Bloody Palace update is going to be the only one

Yep As far as If they've been out so far You know what this feels like? Feels like Ghost Survivors for RE2 That's it? That's all there is Feels like a month out They're like, hey, here's a new thing, cool And yeah, so

Glad you didn't sell the game The worry That, you know, there might be All this extra bullshit You know, this can be Thankfully, like, yeah, no, it's all there Whatever you need is gonna be there And in RE2, we'll get an SE

Where you play as 10 new characters And you can buy robs You buy robs right now, dude So that's what it is Right Yeah, Bloody Palace and that's it So I was like, okay, that's cool But yes, the buying robs is here to stay, I suppose

Ever since 4SE Not much else to that There is The There's just a bunch, it's just a weird Newsweek, a bunch of weird shit Similarly weird Let's blast through it

Is the fact that Apparently Yoko Tara is becoming a virtual YouTuber Yeah, I heard that, I heard that shit Uh, that's right up his alley It says here that He's gonna be basically like, you know those Idol tubes? Yeah, I know Yeah, he's gonna be doing that

Yeah, that's on brand During the month of March, so While you're not playing Devil May Cry Uh, you can tune in Or pay attention to Vampire You can have it on your second monitor You can watch fucking A creepy Emile Head

Play video games and Make weird remarks In a language I don't speak Um, I hope he has big crying Breakdowns and freakouts I hope the mass cracks I hope it cracks even more You mean you hope that he like

Tilt his head and the fucking things just actually splits in half And fucking pulls apart I want, I want to I want to see him break down Why are you wishing for this? Because I watched him have a tantrum About Square Enix and it was hilarious And I want more of that content

Oh, okay Um, and it's a, it's He's set to appear on, yeah Like the virtual, it says virtual idol group Gems Company, which is an announced Virtual cast V-Radio show Which, when I go and take a look at it It's like

A bunch of idol Fucking things And yeah, so you've got all these cute Like, idol girls doing the whole Um, um, anime Mocap thing, you know Just like, uh, uh The, the, whatever

Just like the other virtual YouTubers And that one channel that I forgot the name of Is gonna, uh, absolutely replace us Kizuna Ai Kizuna Ai, thank you And hanging out with Just hanging out with Kristoff Walls, please Hang out with Kristoff Walls, exactly

I'm replaced right now There you go, and now Soon to be Yoko Taro as well Kizuna Ai Fuck, fuck All of us in our jobs We're irrelevant I don't know, man

My gross baldness is currently not Like, taken up by any of these virtual YouTubers But then Yoko, enter Yoko Taro Yo, he's got a mask that you know You don't know But what I'm saying is this is currently only Having an appeal of cute girl anime girls Okay, but now like a gross weirdo

Is getting in on it So now gross weirdo virtual YouTubers Are showing you No, woolly, no, gross weirdo is my tag I need that But that's what I'm saying You thought you were immune Because these are all cute white boys

Why would anyone make a VR model of Gross weirdo But now there's gross weirdos coming So the whole market's cornered No Anybody who shows up for gross weirdos Will just watch that instead And then, you know what

It'll be a gross weirdo that is perfect As a gross weirdo No All their flaws I don't know You're replaceable I'm not replaceable You're being replaced right now

No one can replace me Because I'm the only person who loves to litter And they get to write a script So that their character can be funny the whole time Aw, that's bullshit They have writers You need lulls You need massive lulls in entertainment value

They have writers You can't compete Virtual fucking tubers Good stream man, a stream Without about 30 minutes of just like This part sucks Can't wait till it gets to that part later Where that's fun

Can't wait for Yoko Taro To get out of game development Well, he's still got to make that fucking 14 raid He's sure But he's pretty much about to quit And just do this full time Then he's going to read the comments And then he's going to go back to making games

The, uh The One of the weirdest ones Of all these weird announcements Is The crossover games are flying high And Why not

Strike while that iron's hot And get Kyo Kusanagi Iori Yagami Athena Asayami Or whatever her name is And Mai Shiranui And Leona Heidern

To join Fantasy Star Online 2 This news is not for you North Americans Or Europeans It is the weirdest crossover Since I guess the witcher's showing up In all the shit he's been showing up in

So the witcher's showing up in Monster Hunter Is not as fucking stupid As you would think What is, what's happening? Oh, lighting, huh So the witcher's showing up in Monster Hunter Isn't quite as stupid as you think Because Geralt actually has a long history

Of falling into alternate Universes via portals And also, need I remind you, Wuli What is Geralt's profession? He is a witcher He's a Monster Hunter Yes, right Literally

Literally a Monster Hunter And he hates portals Yeah He hates portals This footage of Fantasy Star Online 2 With the KOF characters in it Reminds me of KOF Online It's really strange

But they're doing it And I mean, I've never seen SNK push as hard To get guests in different games As they are right now Because starting with Mai Shiranui And Dead or Alive We then got Iori in Million Arthur Not Million Arthur

Yeah, Million Arthur, that's correct And We're seeing all kinds of crossovers Being pushed right now And Terry Bogard is showing up in Fighting EX Lair Geese is in fucking Tekken

Tekken So cross promotion Has never been as high as it is right now So why not throw in the whole cast Including Kyo And his bodega Punches into Fantasy Star Online 2 Which, to be honest

This is the most gameplay What is it I'm looking at right now Looks really cool Yes, the most gameplay of Fantasy Star Online At PSO 2 that I've seen Not for you It looks a lot better than PSO 1 Not for you, Woolly

Stop looking at it Well, now I know why Liam wanted it so bad It's never gonna come out here Combat looks pretty slick Yeah, sure does Dude, I wanted it to come out here But I knew it never would Damn

Never So anyway Yeah, I don't know I don't know what to deal with that is But there it is And the fact that at the bottom it's like PSO 2 is available for PC, PlayStation, Vita PS4 and Switch is like

Not for you They made a Switch port Not for you They just hate you They hate you Well anyway Um We had that

We had Probably Liam and I spoke to somebody at PlayStation And he's like, dude, I'm trying And that was like fucking Three, four years ago So that didn't happen You got anything on these Switch ports? RE1, RE0, RE4

I will take a page out of Clems' book He made a tweet about this the other day He said, one day I will arrange all my copies Of RE4 in a circle And I will stand in it And be transported to Leonverse or something So it looks like it's REmake Right?

Yeah And RE0, yeah Sure Yeah, sure It's GameCube port GameCube port GameCube port GameCube ports

That's fine You're not getting 7 and 2 Fuck, no you're not So It feels like How fucking stupid is the series of words we just said You can get 0, 1 and 4 But not 7 and 2

It feels as if Like the way what we heard about Nintendo Talking about Kingdom Hearts The other day was that They're basically going to all these major releases And going, okay, can we... No? Alright

Does it have the name on it a little? What's the next best thing? Yeah Right? What else can we do? And then this is kind of what we're... What we're getting Like, I wouldn't be surprised if some form of Devil May something Devil May Cry trilogy or something

At some point, winds up, you know Maybe for a special edition Yeah Wind up on the switch You know? That'd be fucking goofy But I don't even fucking... It doesn't sound like the most, you know

Impossible thing Like That's kind of what Nintendo's doing right now Makes sense Those games are great Well, not 0 But the two of those games are great Um...

Yeah, not much to say about this one But just, you know There's some weird hitbox stuff happening in Apex Legends And someone did a little shoot around the characters Trace Yeah Test And they found out that

A pathfinder has a gigantic body Like Gibraltar style Yup And that even though His skinny little robot legs and arms And head are tiny If you shoot the bubble around And in between his, like, arms and legs

It still manages to do damage to him Of course it does So it's kind of weird That makes perfect sense But other characters don't have that Yeah So they're addressing the issue Is what they say

Yeah, the other thing is that A pathfinder is a glitch machine And can fucking Run up the walls Climb anything in the game Yeah Yeah, that's... He has a specific quick switch thing

That he can fire faster than other characters He's getting fucking He's getting switched the fuck up real soon There was something else Latency in that game rewards you If you have a shitty ping Because it's all client side So hit detection

So if somebody, like, if you're lagging out And you shoot the guy in front of you Who's dead still a hundred times Even if he's in a building Two doors over He'll still die When the server catches up Man

It's fucking goofy That new gun is not great It's amazing if you get the hop up The start up on the havoc is not great I'm not enjoying it Only if you get the hop up If you get the hop up, it's good I know you're a big hit scan boy

So you're a huge fan That select fire shit is the worst But what it should... Like what it probably should do Is let you have both on That would be rat That would be OP That'd be rat

As is, I'm like No, get the fucking spin up hop up And it's a good gun If you don't have it, fuck it It's a mega buster Yeah The main thing that I feel with it Is that if you get the drop on somebody

So you can spin it up before they're like A gun fight They're fucking toast Well, I mean, devotion is the same idea It's a laser, basically But if... But if there's a situation where you both See each other at the same time

You're dead before the gun fires That's it Like, it's just not, you know So anytime you have that level of Yeah, start up, you're just like Okay, I'm eating how many carbine clips Not clips, excuse me Magazines

I really like the Bangalore has... The clip is something you put in your hair The city is using their hair This is a magazine This is a magazine I like it How many... Yeah, exactly

So how much carbine are you going to eat Before you get the first shot off? Probably an entire R99 magazine Yeah Which means you're dead Don't do it Don't do it Anyway

That is happening We got the... Yeah, I mean, it's not much But it's just like fucking Spider-Man 1 Right? Yay! That's a good movie Sorry, Incredibles

But your tweet about Considerate... For your consideration, Incredibles 2 That was like the worst thing I ever seen Oh, don't do it And just everybody Matt in the comments and everybody And fucking

Sweary in the comments as well Just with the Spider-Man reaction face Like Like, no You don't get to speak Incredibles 2, you were a fun movie And we waited a long time for you But you unfortunately have to deal with Miles Morales

Right now And you have no chance I retweeted that bit of Miles Touching the fucking shoulder of the Oscar Going, hey Bearer, bearer, seek less All those edits were great If a movie gives us a bunch of memes

It should win an Oscar There should be an Oscar for memes Well, you must have heard last year About the Academy going Hey guys, we know that this Black Panther thing is happening So why don't we introduce a new category Called Best Popular Category And then if you're a real big popular movie

Everyone gets to begin an Oscar And it'll be great And everyone's like How about you go fuck yourself How about you just pick the right movies You piece of shit And not be up your own Sending up in your tower

You old bastards Up your ass And they're like Okay, well, never mind We changed your mind It's weird that the ivory tower Of the Oscar Academy Can exist inside the Academy's asses

They hate superhero movies And they hate the idea Of working with her They hate animated movies more Of course And they also hate cinematography And set design Because run that during the commercials

Fuck, that's bullshit If you're not a big star Then you don't deserve screen time I feel like every single year I don't pay attention to the Oscars I don't give a shit But every single year The overwhelming feeling is

Man, fuck the Oscars I hate the Oscars Joseph Harris, man He was so right Joseph was so right And then he put out a way out with his team Guess what? That's one of the best games

That came out that year That game's amazing Fuck the Oscars The fact that All of that shit went down Or whatever And then like Everyone's like

Each shit Black Panther was good It was a good movie We're not taking it And they're like Okay Costume design Production design

Original score Yeah, right And it's like The first time that they've been Brute forced into acknowledging it Because they fucking hate it And to capitalize on the moment Right?

Trevor Noah goes up there And I don't know if you saw the clip or not But he goes up And he's like You know When I was a young kid Growing up in Wakanda King T'Challa would fly overhead

And I'd look up And just be like Wow, you know Like, and then he said a quote And the quote was The white people won't know I'm lying And he said And it meant like

Whenever we're together We can conquer anything And you know Just It was just like And everyone Stone faced him saying When I was growing up in Wakanda

Yeah Because why would The fucking Academy I don't know Have any idea They didn't watch They didn't watch Black Panther They hate Black Panther

And everything it represents They hate it Right? Fuck this comic book movie They don't want that shit Amongst their real films So it was great To pull that over

Listen, dude, listen It was such a perfect timing Leonardo DiCaprio had to eat Bear poop In the revenance That's acting Oh, man And the revenant was a great film

I remember watching this amazing video That broke down like A million years ago Broke down like after revenant came out Where it broke down the idea This fucked up idea that acting Like the quality of your acting Can be measured by the suffering

You endured during your role How fucking stupid that is Christian Bale subscribes to that Yeah It's fucking dumb Acting is not suffering The lengths that they went through though And being a jerk

All day on set While people are trying to get shit done I remember That means Jared Leto Leto is the greatest actor of all time Fuck Method I remember hearing about Method For the first time

And being like Wow Those people are fucking crazy Like That's so committed I wonder Like what's that like And then you just hear all the stories

And then you watch the fucking Jim Carrey thing And you're like Oh, it means you're an asshole You know what I Everyone hates it You know what always got me about method acting Because the thing that got It's a philosophy of acting, right

And on its face There's value there Hey, are you gonna play a firefighter Go hang out with firefighters See what the fuck it's about, right But then the method, right That's when it gets crazed You're an investigative journalist

For a minute And all I can think about is like In my opinion acting is like Convincing people of a truth That's not real, right In this particular situation And I'm not an actor So this is just a layman

But it's like Wait a second If Christoph Waltz Can portray a character Immaculately and totally believably Without the method Does that mean you just suck Compared to Waltz

That you need to embody the character Totally in order to do your job See, that's the question, right Is they might see it as like You know, rock-leaning it, right Just like forcing it in until You believe every aspect of it And when the results are amazing

They are amazing, right But same, like yeah When Anthony Hopkins is fucking Crushing it on Westworld Being scary And you're like, oh my god And he's like, he reads the script And he goes, yep, okay

I walked in, I read the script I went, yeah, cool, I'll do it Got it, and it's like Oh, you're not gonna be him All day He's like, no, fuck it I'm gonna go home and watch the TV You know, it's like

No, you kind of don't necessarily Need to do this And it might make it more impactful In your life And the answer might be Well, you need to do this, Christian You need to do this, Jared What I'm saying is that

Method actors are crazy Yeah And every time you hear about them You hear about how no one on set Like them I mean, that's basically the deal Because it's like, okay Can we get into position?

I ain't never getting into position That's like, well Denzel We kind of need you to be on your mark So that the film can King Kong ain't got nothing on me I was just thinking about that I was thinking about

You wouldn't tell King Kong to get into position Like listen He must have been fucking Insufferable, man Like just the worst Just like Denzel, who's Denzel? Who is Denzel?

Alonzo, I'm sorry Alonzo, like fuck Wesley, can you open your eyes? Who's Wesley? Blade, can you open your eyes? No Just Holy shit, man

You know, yeah, anyway So And now I just saw somebody By the way, we do occasionally Look at the chat There is one instance of method That I will applaud And that is Robert Downey Jr.

In Tropic Thunder As he went method of a method And supposedly he did not drop character For the entire film until the end Of the commentary had been recorded I cannot I still can't believe They got away with that

Clean, no one gave a shit How they do Yeah, but it was wild I remember, like You knew a fucking big budget comedy With a fucking, what Is the Australian or some shit In blackface, the whole fucking movie

Wow And they agreed and they greenlit it And they filmed it and it happened And it still exists It's like And people watch it and they talk about All that movie was great And I fucking die, I howled

It was hilarious I can't believe they got away with it The smartest thing they did in Tropic Thunder Is you have Robert Downey Jr. doing blackface Like an idiot, like an idiot In that movie And you have another black character Looking at him going, you're an idiot

The whole movie Sure That's in my mind, that's what it may work But they lean in with fucking With a simple gym Oh, fuck Or simple Tom or whatever Yeah, whatever the fuck it was

In all directions Everywhere It was crazy It feels like a South Park movie directed by Tom Cruise Tom Cruise might as well have had Like a bigger nose You know what I mean? Like he was leaning in as fucking hard as he could

On that like It was really nuts That they got away with that shit Tropic Thunder is wild That movie is wild I can't believe it exists And Jay's there Yeah, yes

Yeah, he is That's just crazy That is the least 2019 thing I have, like The Oscar for the least 2019 movie Yeah, we're looking at a world It's like this fucking Post

You can say post Tropic Thunder You can say post Team America Because Team America is fucking wild too I'm actually sweating I am also sweating Thinking about it, like God Wow, anyway

I'm uncomfortable Um Congrats to Miles Morales You did it Everybody did it Everyone who worked on that movie Seems like they did a really good job Man, I hope they enjoy their Oscar

Seems Well, I don't know They did We saw the You don't know There could have been one guy Fucking the dog Saw the fruits of their labor

You know It's a good movie Let's take some emails Hey, if you want to send an email Into this here podcast That you're listening to right now Right now You would send that into

That is actually confusing See, I tried That's why I made it clear The CastleSuperBeast podcast Yes I could have made that mail That is legitimately fucking Super confusing

I chose that mail very carefully Yeah, that is weird Don't do it You might have your email read like this Hopefully, I gave Woolly enough time To pull up the email So, we got one coming in From

Matt T says Yo, man Hey, Matt Hey, Woolly With Get Into Fighting Games Being sort of a spiritual successor To FNF And can we get a continuation

Yeah It looked awesome We are, I am subjecting FGC players To absolute trash So, yes Yes, that is totally happening God, shout outs to fucking 2 metal And Cranky Construct and Lee Mouse

Yo, yeah, for real Like A message cranky right after that I'm like, how did you do that? And he was like, it was no problem I'm like, how's no problem How are you so strong? I'm so happy with that intro

You should be It's the best We got one coming in from Get Out of Fighting Games Get Out of Fighting That's fantastic Austin says Hey, Castle Super

Opening with an hour of talking About childhood trauma beasts It was closer to an hour and a half this week Been meaning to get around To sending you this But, lol, no energy You know what you need Jaw rule stole my shirt

What? That fire fest stuff Is a bit out of the zeitgeist now But I was actually Anyway, directly affected by Fire shit show Back in 2017 I had started a long distance

Relationship with this girl I met via a shitpost I made on Twitter That went somewhat viral She was working at an event planning company Which was planning a big festival Called Fire Although she wasn't on that project

She has her own place And we made plans to visit in June Until then, I decided to be cute and send her One of my favorite shirts in the mail Fast forward a week after And everything is fucked And the receptionist with the only key to the mail Just stopped coming after the meetings

And everyone was asked to keep out To keep working without pay To this day, I don't know what happened to the shirt So although it's somewhat indirect I blame Jaw rule Because it's funny to say Jaw rule stole my shirt He stole your shirt

He's wearing it right now We're still together though And we're moving in in a couple months Oh, that's very sweet Congratulations There you go Thanks, Austin You should get to the bottom of that

I think he might have stole your shirt, bro You know who to help you? 50 Cent 50 Cent will help you Investigate the stolen shirt Investigate what the deal with the shirt is He is bored He is a bored rich man

There's a lot of smart people in this room I wouldn't say I stole a shirt Jaw, you're wearing the shirt right now I just borrowed it for a while Jaw, it's dirty It stinks You haven't taken the shirt off in weeks We got one coming in

Very aggressively because Oh, yeah? Aggressive emails Dilly Dally decided to keep bumping this one for weeks upon weeks upon weeks You should not read it It's a good email But it's like, I got it

I got it, Dilly You don't have to do that I got it Anybody who ever tries this gimmick ever again will get those emails deleted So you send those in once Yeah, I'm not rewarding this behavior But it's decent enough

Dilly Dally says, hey, people who bring joy to me I was recently having a conversation with my best bud about what makes games hard Above the belief that many of the games are considered hard are not really that hard but rather punishing I started with the example of souls

Mechanically, souls are not difficult As many people have shown like one bros or randomized mods it gets a reputation because it's punishing with mistakes that have severe consequences Aside from the plot when you start the game you already have all the abilities

and things you need to beat it There's nothing standing in your way but your own mistakes and inexperience My friend brought Cuphead up Cuphead is fucking hard They beat it in two hours and they find games of this type easy because they're also a rhythm gaming wizard

After the conversation it turned to how FPS games and other genres like RPGs would fit this paradigm of difficulty versus punishment Games that capitalize on mistakes and poor planning versus games that are actively impeding the ability to succeed and adding more enemies versus games that passively impede the player

like having less ammo You might have touched upon this topic when discussing Rising Thunder vs Street Fighter vs Dive Kick Character action games like Devil May Cry 4 aren't really punishing because you can take many hits but it is hard because your ranking and style require mastery of the game

This can be seen as perpendicular and high punishment FPS games such as Insurgency or Dave Infamy where a brand new person can frag the top because the person at the top made a mistake and missed a shot This is a really broad topic It's basically this email is just a question like

what's the deal with difficulty in games This is way too broad to answer adequately here but I would actually broaden out his definition of difficulty of difficulty versus punishment There are dozens of ways games can be difficult

Games can be physically demanding of your reflexes and eyesight Games can be mentally demanding of your ability to plan ahead like Tetris Tetris is like you gotta be fast but you also gotta think fast

Games many games, particularly a lot of the games that I like to play the difficulty lies in a lack of knowledge Take an isometric RPG I don't know how the enemies and the systems in this game work therefore it is difficult

As I gain mastery over what this character does what this enemy does it becomes more easy and that knowledge will carry me forward I'd say RPGs are absolutely that because there's no the only thing that'll fuck you up is a bad decision sometimes a bad role

but you can always mitigate that with good knowledge A game like Super Meat Boy is actually just severely punishing it's not that it's hard as much as it is you cannot make mistakes exactly, so if you allow

for zero mistakes the game will automatically have that perception of being harder than it actually is there are other games that are not that difficult but are extraordinarily punishing I would say I don't want to say Dark Souls because

Dark Souls is difficult in a lot of places and it's difficult in a very weird meta way when Dark Souls and Demon's Souls 1 came out they did not function like other games around them so they had a inferred knowledge problem

Cuphead is hard as fuck Cuphead is hard because you can't make mistakes if you could make more mistakes in Cuphead it would not be as hard start the level over that's what it is

there's all these different factors to difficulty and all the best games will introduce all the types of difficulty knowledge, reflex planning etc experience

but some games are just like do you have the mental brain power to plan ahead for example my dad used to play the PC version of Wrist for 195 Beast all over that fucking game I couldn't figure out what the fuck he was doing

he learned exactly how the AI would move at that point the game became totally trivialized because whatever you know exactly what the enemy is going to do so I would say Darkest Dungeon is a pleasant mix of all things because knowing what's coming if I were to tell you exactly what was about to happen

that doesn't guarantee that you have the ability to stop it but it does give me the ability to mitigate it so for example the ruins don't bring bleed nothing there bleeds but if you've already committed to that journey you might be fucked

of characters that might not be you know the ones you're fucking looking for like yeah you might be fucked in that room and then there's games that have mechanical difficulty versus purely memorization difficulty Darkest Dungeon 2 is coming out yeah by the way Darkest Dungeon 2 is coming out

Darkest Dungeon 2 Darkest Dungeon 2 that's the best that's the best I don't think I like Darkest Dungeon I think I love Darkest Dungeon and I think I am miserable really? I can't get anywhere

I'm miserable with every mistake it's the goblins make it bad okay the mind goblins make it bad to play did you attempt any of the other modes I played on radiant

I played like 10 hours and I'm anxious and miserable the whole time I appreciate it and I know it's a fantastic game but I don't think it's for me wow the mind goblins but other people with less mind goblins

have a similar issue it's just like the core of the game which is throw this shit in the dirt it doesn't matter hurts me that sucks to pat in terms of characters characters, runs anything

are you attempting a perfect run? no because you're going to get out with characters that you lose you know how every time you finish a run in Darkest Dungeon you have negative effects you crawl past the finish line but you end up like oh this guy got this

debuff and this guy is stressed those negative effects feel worse to me than the success of the mission feels good put them in the cloister you know every mission ends with me feeling worse than I feel happy

because of the downsides because I never feel like I succeeded even when I actually succeeded but it's progress goblins and there's a non goblin version of that as well I don't even know

how to address that one because it's like that sucks I like to play games and feel like I'm doing well if I am doing well and Darkest Dungeon is explicitly designed to kill that feeling on purpose and that's cool but that makes me feel bad

here's what I can say is you can mitigate that by doing two things one you can cheat by just like wiki-ing everything and once you get back

whenever you do get negative effects and occasionally your curiosity is a little bit too high or whatever the fuck you just spend the rich rich rich money you have just it's the kind of game that I'm going to try again and again and again and again like once a month

probably until the sequel comes out did you play with mods? only the one that increases tooltips and makes the game a little faster that's it I was explicitly recommended off of nearly all mods by a ton of people

because they horribly unbalanced the game and it was recommended Radiance by pretty much everyone it's not any easier I heard it faster I've only ever played the raw base game so I can't speak for any of them except for the brand new knowledge I've had

I appreciate that game but I think I might hate it but I will continue to attempt to appreciate it because that's how I felt about Demon's Souls this exact feeling is how I felt about Demon's Souls and then I crossed a threshold

that whole so the fact that you get your life bar permanently halved upon death you got over that I never went human the first time I played Demon's Souls ever so that extra part of the life bar might as well not have existed

so you were literally undead the entire time given a situation like that I will literally go nope I'm never going to buff myself it'll just go away so I'll just fucking what about eating fucking herbs in Resident Evil that just gets you back up to your default state

plus better if it's all three now yeah but I only use those in boss fights when I know I'm going to take more damage goblins well I beat Resident Evil 2 Hardcore the other night I finished that game

on Hardcore which is much more difficult 30 shotgun shells 175 handgun rounds a secondary weapon that you haven't seen yet completely full of ammo and like 27 Magnum rounds and was still juicing enemies

because what if I don't have enough what if I don't have enough in like the last rooms I had ammo to kill the entire game twice over I do not want to be that I gotta save it what if you need it later oh man

no what if you need it later man keep trying I beat the final boss with the Magnum ammo and then point out oh man I almost ran out of Magnum ammo a good thing I saved it and people point out you had hundreds of handgun rounds

and almost 50 shotgun rounds what are you talking about I but you already know deep down inside how good it's a never ending struggle you know how good the game is

yeah it's amazing alright greetings lord chewington and sir fuckface castle super beast clef says after the biggest most awful most tragic event in history that is the solution

of spfp I decided to go and listen to the old podcast from episode one during my daily commute oh that's probably a trip as I listened they couldn't help but let off a constant theme of oh no this podcast after podcast as I listened for your enthusiasm for things like mighty number nine and the future of kickstarter games the bright 60 fps

everything the new generation of consoles do you remember any other statement or previous positions that has aged as well as a fine glass of milk my favorite one is that I predicted the switch to the letter I'm gonna hold on to that when forever yeah I'm gonna go ahead

and say that I I'm like I can't stop you but if you go back and decide to listen to old shit including the beginning of this podcast it's dated and probably all wrong and terrible it's transient it's a moment it's an ephemeral transient form of entertainment

that often will not hold up because it has zero hindsight and we're all living speculation day to day like you don't feel that the president speculation because you don't have any future knowledge I've been told on occasion that

I might speculate a little wildly I think everybody but that's fun to me I think all of you listening I think everyone if you could go back and listen to the speculation and excitement you had for things in the past based on not knowing what horrible things were coming

down the pipe you would cringe I do feel however that it is appropriate that the most wrong we ever were on that podcast was like the first thing we ever talked about which was mighty number nine was that as it's the first episode

it is the first fucking episode that's why that keeps coming back and it is like if you're not excited for mighty number nine you are fucking stupid that is a quote one of us said I was wondering why that kept coming back up when people talk about the old ones but it's the first one it's the first one and it is like the actual

fucking wrongest ever that's amazing that's fantastic you can't change it you can have it any other way uh we got one coming in from Rowan hey yes

you mentioned it before that the denomination you grew up in was SDA I knew some general stuff about that is relatively common like Saturday Sabbaths and the particular take on the rapture what I didn't know until today was that it was a blast to hear about

they actually sprang out of the militarism movement and one of the many doomsday movements that acquired the humorous nickname of the great disappointment yeah that's real can I hazard a guess that that is like disappointment that the apocalypse did not occur that's correct

fuck which on its own has put it up in there as history's greatest fuck ups go so can we get into the bible talk segment that just goes over what militarism was and sets the Seventh Day Adventists apart for listeners who don't know I feel like your personal spin on the story would be

just reading about it keep on figuring it out Rowan thanks Rowan I appreciate you I'll take this one Jesus no I'm not going to spin it I'm not going to fucking go on forever on it it's really short and simple

is that yeah Seventh Day Adventism before it was that came from a movement because there's a dude called William Miller and William Miller said that it's Miller time and you know when Miller time is Miller time is 1844 oh my god is that the actual

fucking original doomsday holy shit that's super wrong calculated he pulled out the fucking magnifying glass and the beakers and he did the science and he read the texts and the bible he's like you know what

I figured it out I cracked the code it's all ending in 1844 1844 and everybody really really leaned in hard and they were basically like yeah man if you're not a Millerist get the who the fuck are you right you gotta get ready

you gotta get ready that's the whole thing and people were like on the edge of their seats like never before on the exact date was I want to say it was like May something like May 22nd

or something like that 1840 it was an exact day and they were saying goodbye to each other and they were like imagine if you were as sure as the sun would rise tomorrow that it wasn't so I'm gonna point out I just did a little history check right there

that Miller time precludes the founding of confederation of Canada by 23 years so in Miller time there is no Canada so the great

disappointment occurs and everyone goes BOOOOOO oh no we're not dead panic and sweat and everyone freaks out and goes what what happened right because this is your whole existence at this point

you don't have it's 1844 you don't have internet you can't look at your anime all you have is everyone else you know that's waiting on the end yeah that's right because that's what the book says and then a bunch of different schools of thought form out of what went wrong

what happened asks everybody and a couple people go um I know what it is 1844 is not the end of the world that's the closed door

what this means is we didn't see the second coming because that's when the door shut that sucks that sucks that is nightmarish as a conclusion

for the rapture and for heaven that is the worst I can't believe that if you have not been a saved soul up until this point in time that was the shutting of the door

and now we're in the final phase where your fates have been sealed and all you can do is wait for the true end what happens to everyone born in 1945 onwards the door has been shut that led so the great disappointment that sucks

leads directly to the shut door and that was what most people went on they're going oh what we concluded was correct it's just the process was different from what we thought that is just as ridiculous as fucking predestination with the catholics

that is just as ridiculous as that uh ellen g white has visions and basically concludes after doing the studies it's serious pat

i just feel like we made a big jump in tone ellen g white studies the great disappointment and eventually concludes alongside other people initially she buys into it and talks about it a little bit and it's a little bit

embarrassing because her prophecies later on you're supposed to be like a prophet can never get anything wrong well no it's kind of part of the deal people say well no she didn't really push she just used the language of the people at the time to convince them with her points but that's a point up for

debate regardless uh ellen g white then goes on and says effectively that um no what it was is that okay so in the bible there's a ceremony that takes place where um the the the the whole the head priest goes into the holiest of holies and it's like a chamber inside of a chamber

and it's where the you know the arc of the covenant that like the ghost comes out and kills the nazis yeah that's right okay so that will actually kill anybody pretty much yeah so that thing is fucked up the original place where that thing was being carried was into the holiest of holies into inside a chamber with an outer

it's like that place if you go in there you fucking drop dead you can't handle it it's the presence of god yeah i know you have to be of a significant holiness or whatever the gate around that the curtain around that if you go in you go in there and it's like that's already fucking dicey yeah you can't really be a sinner right

but um you're in your inherent your inherent sin the thing that makes you human or whatever can still be inside of you but the holiest of holies the big priest we gotta tie a rope around him because if he goes in and drops dead we gotta pull his body out that's how that goes alright so there's a process where eventually

the sanctuary is cleansed and there's a process where like that thing is sealed and then everybody he cleanses all the sins of everybody this feels like a curse rather than a blessing the conclusion is that the version of that ceremony that took place on earth took place in heaven and

that the closed door wasn't actually the closed door it was the ceiling of the sanctuary of ceremony and now after 1844 until the end of days we're in the final days we're in the final stages no matter how

long those final days last we can hit 26th 26th century and be running around with battle angel elita but we are in the final days at that point I want to backtrack a little bit because the Ark of the Covenant fucks me up oh yeah because the Ark of the Covenant

the Ark of the Covenant is a big God box that if you get close to it or you open it and you are anything other than Jesus level pure you will instantly die

and this is a holy object yeah because you have sin in you that is a dnd cursed chest sin like that like come on sin cannot exist in the presence that's how it goes pat

the year is fucking whatever fuck 14th 13th 11th century I don't know right the year is way back when a gigantic light falls from the sky cool and lands

in the middle of a populated city and a black rock is found at the epicenter that's cool 2019 what do you call that meteorite yeah back then what do you call that sign from heaven the what have you what do you do

you create well you may well you got to make a sword out of it so you can kill that big cobra motherfucker no no no you build a gigantic fucking thing around it and you make it so that like this is now the holiest place on planet earth and that's how that goes right what other knowledge you get anyway
