Starting point is 00:00:00 the the red bull mecher and get it in you. Oh, get it in you. There you go. There you go. We'll start there. Oh, my delicious, my delicious num num. No, it was the red bull. No, no recording of beeping discord noises, though, right? No. Well, I mean, I had it on streamer mode, but now it won't even matter because I'm not recording the desktop audio. Remember, this is a true. Oh, right. Instead, instead, you're going to get clicking and keyboard noises. Yeah, because I'm doing shit to stay awake because fuck. Yeah, it's 9am. Last week, it
Starting point is 00:01:17 was 9am for me. So it's I guess it's a ball back, a ball pass back and forth. You know, ball, this ball right up your fucking ass. I was going to take both 9am. It just happened to work out this way. But this is going to be an interesting one because energy wise, we're in almost the same place for the complete opposite reasons. Because it's 9am over there on the west side. And by west side, I mean the westerners. I don't know. It's all relative. Um, but over here, think about it over here on the beast coast and by the beast coast, I mean, the new era. This bit is so awful. Just get it over with. Oh, my God, the post Hey, say era. Okay, holy shit. It's 10pm out here. I'm literally you want to guess where
Starting point is 00:02:15 I am in bed. I'm on fucking Bunny Island. Oh, you're on Okunoshima. I'm literally on Bunny Island right now. I'm in the hotel. I'm staying all cool, man. We're staying overnight at Bunny Island. And it was one of those things where I'm like, I wanted a slow day because like yesterday was really intense. And we got here just as the sun was going down. So we caught the last of the fatty bunnies going to sleep. And we got in and like, yeah, tomorrow is going to be Bunny morning. But like either way, it turns out I was just getting ready to sleep in a barn with a bunch of fucking at rabbits jumping around and shit. And it turns out it's a really classy ryokan. And it's got an own sent in it. So I took a dip.
Starting point is 00:03:07 And I did the super relaxing, you know, the fucking hot bath and all that shit. I'm wearing the robes right now. And I'm ready to just drift off into the magic night of sleep. So how wonderful. I, you know, we're so embittered. It just happened to work out this way, dude. How'd you like getting on the ferry at fucking in a bus station? Yeah, so that we got on the ferry. I mean, honestly, like, we had a weird one because we got out at where I forgot whatever it was. But like, we just took the trade, the shinkansen out to like super small, little cute town, you know. But again, I didn't realize this was such a fancy joint. Because when I got to the ferry, the ferryman was like, we're holding a piece of paper. He's like, with my name on it.
Starting point is 00:04:08 And then when I got off, he had a little pocket talk machine that was like, Oh, there's a car waiting for you. So apparently, like if you decide to stay on Bunny Island, you're your fucking rabbit royalty. So that's nice. Japan feels like a different planet, like all of the time. You know, what we fucking swerved hard on, though, is I was wearing my slippers the whole time. And I realized just before we got here that Oh, rabbit shit will be everything. My world will be rabbit shit. And we swerved into a department store at the last second and picked up some disposable shoes. So like, thank God, because I'm like, I'm not fucking doing it. Like I know of all the animal shit you have to deal with rabbits are probably the least bad. It's like pellets, man. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:04:56 it's probably it's probably the least bad say any any herbivore is fine, you know. But ultimately, I'm still real, man. I like I did not encounter that issue when I went to Okina Shima. We didn't stay there. We just took like a little day trip. Yeah. But my shoes were fine. If I can be real, I went back to your video and I examined your feet to see what was happening down there. Oh, yeah, no, I wanted to know. But either way, shoes got fucking ruined for a different reason, because I was wearing them out in the monsoon when I got hit by a monsoon. And they were just like, abjectly ruined. It's fine. I got the disposables. We're going to chuck them when it's done. It's all good. We'll see. But yeah, no, cute. Like and like they the branding of Bunny Island is fucking,
Starting point is 00:05:48 it's clear. It's a little the little shop where they're like, take all these little rabbit pictures do your Puri kura. And like we happen to walk in and see like a super huge crazy bunny fan, this lady that was wearing a dress made of like pictures of bunnies and she had a bunny purse and a bunny jacket and was super in just like waiting to go the whole time. It was it was really it's really funny and exciting to see her like getting way hype on the ride back from the boat to the hotel. Like she was just staring out the window like getting really into it. Did you understand about the bunnies? Yeah, we're going to we're going to find out tomorrow. It's it's going to be it's going to be a thing. Usagi adventure. But speaking of Usagi yesterday
Starting point is 00:06:40 was USJ. Yes. So I don't know what was around when you did it. But I remember you had you saw the attack on Titan and you saw the Resident Evil thing, right? No, though, in fact, part of the trip's misery was that those were not in place. You remember the opposite of that story, sir. I really thought you got those. Okay, I vaguely remember a giant Aaron statue. And no, you describing that. Okay. Well, no, that's a complete fabrication of your mind. Okay. Well, did the USJ. That's sorry to hear. And I get what the fuck you're talking about. And I guess like starting, you know, from we got there early in the morning went in and got the the past that was just like
Starting point is 00:07:43 fuck lines come at this assigned time, you know, that great. It's the fucking best. It's do our door theme parks do that. Probably like a pass that skips. Honestly, like you can charge people for extra shit. You'd probably I can imagine that they'd have our theme parks having that as well. Like I know that Disney had some sort of like past system as well for like the hardcore Disney heads that go, you know, in the world, the coaster chasers or whatever the fuck they're called. But here, I'm just like, fuck the roller coaster is fuck all of that. I'm here for fucking anime rides that I'm never going to see anywhere else in the world, such as Harry Potter. So there is an English version
Starting point is 00:08:30 of that ride in Florida. Yeah, and I hear it's very similar because yeah, Austin was telling me about like the differences between the two. Steph's a huge Harry Potter mark. So we went to do that. We saw the the old wand magician guy doing his best Japanese while speaking English and bless his heart. He really tried. He stumbled a bit over the Japanese lines, but it was quite impressive that he memorized them to begin with. The Harry Potter ride is super impressive because they do fucking magic with a really small room like. Yeah, it's it's very tiny. I thought it really, really felt like a roller coaster, but you're just inside of a little like NASA style gyro that's kind of rotating on a track and it moves from one or it moves between
Starting point is 00:09:20 like three or four dome screens with a couple of props in between them. But you feel like a full roller coaster ride. It's really impressive. Yeah. The drops felt real. The rising felt real. You were on like a broomstick kind of flying through. But apparently the first version of this ride had a 3D glasses as well. And that was too fucking much. Terrible idea. That seems awful. Apparently it was too fucking much for people. So they just dropped it down to, you know, this only the just the dome screen and the movement. But it was it was really fucking cool. So that was sick. I don't know if they do the collector popcorn buckets when you were there. Not that I remember. So they always do these collectible popcorn buckets for whatever is in
Starting point is 00:10:09 season at the time. And like they had like the Sailor Moon pouch kind of thing. And when we went like the special was supposed to be well basically what they they had was the Ava head, right? So a unit one head that opens up and has the fucking lights go off and then popcorn in its dome. And it's super fucked thinking about the context of what this is. And and or about just thinking about Hidiakiano suffering and going through the worst of his life while we're feasting on popcorn inside of this thing and having a grand old time. But yeah, no, I don't know when has fucking when has consumerism stopped at like Ava like Ava is the most I don't know about this. I'm sorry, my brain is fried. That's fine. Ava is is the most like dissonant
Starting point is 00:11:05 property to ever exist with its own merch. Yes. But at the same time, when you're seeing it surrounded and drowning in a sea of minions and Snoopy without peanuts. It's weird. Snoopy without peanuts, mind you, and minions without despicable me because what the fuck is that receiving peanuts or what? Yeah, it's the it is beyond weird and wild because people are just fucking loving these cute yellow things, whatever they are, wherever they come from, we love them, we need them. Holy shit, we're marking out at the dance party, the minion dance party is starting now. Yeah, so anyway, I did Harry Potter, did the Sailor Moon ride, which is basically a 40 movie. You know, you put on the glasses and then like they do on a little adventure and then
Starting point is 00:12:00 everyone all the sailors show up and then an evil villain sucks their energy and then they save the day. And you know, it was it was interesting seeing a CG version of Sailor Moon all in the end. The transformations look pretty good in 3D. Like that's probably the best part of it. You know, but it was like, put your hands up, lend her your power, make a heart symbol to save all the Sailor Scouts. Yeah, you know. But what if you don't do any of that shit? I bet it still saves the day. Then all the kids around you cry and you helped the evil win. So stupid kids. And you know, seeing Chibi Moon jumping around and whatnot. Of course, I was loudly asking where the unicorn was because don't do that. Because we have to don't do that. It's fine. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:12:55 It's in English. The kids don't understand what I'm saying. They don't know. I don't know, they they can understand like 1% of it and just be traumatized for life because they have to remember that episode. It's just weird. Mama, bestiality wa nandeska mama. Anyway, so we then got to check out what came second. I want to say we well anyway, we got to check out Attack on Titan. So they had the Attack on Titan ride and all of the giant like props and stuff was gone. I know earlier on they had like a hand that you could get into that was like a crane and then it lifted you up to a Titan mouth and you take a picture of you getting eaten. But that shit's gone. That's kind of fucked. I like that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But we did the actual ride and I have
Starting point is 00:13:56 to say, man, as someone who is like currently marking out really hard, like I'm super in on like the last season and how the plots coming together, it was really great to see them kind of do an updated like ride where they're like, OK, we're up to date with the current events. And when you're watching the highlights in line, we're showing you like the best parts of the story till now and just getting you super hyped and prepped. It was interesting because it was a simultaneously a 3D 4D movie or whatever they call it. It was. Yeah. It was that it was a real effect show light show and it had live action actors in it all at the same time. So this live action. Oh, yeah. So there was like a mixture of all things going on. And like you basically had a bunch of
Starting point is 00:14:50 the soldiers like there's a stage that looked like a destroyed version of the Shishigami district. And then a bunch of the scouts were on stage. And then moments would kind of jump from the screen to the stage and then back and such. And it's also a room that has screens surrounding you in all directions. So they just played with all of it. They made it like all at the same time. In the end, pretty fucking impressive in a lot of ways. One of the coolest things ever is they're like so I'm talking about like the most recent season part three season three part two of Attack on Titan, where they're knocking on the walls a little bit, you know, and like you kind of focus on some of those parts and then suddenly like a villain just breaks out of nowhere and like
Starting point is 00:15:42 like the screen then like kind of blows up and then the live action actors are on the stage fighting, you know, and you're and you're seeing like costumed versions of like main characters doing like a cool choreography with the the blades and shit. And it's fucking sick because there's one awesome moment where one of those characters does a fucking bite and then smoke shoots out and fills the room and yellow lights go off and the effect of like a lightning strike kind of feels like it goes down and it's like like well not not the exact like lightning but like a yellow light kind of shoots up and simulates shit going down. So it was pretty hype. The one thing is when it cut to the 3d the 3d was very unfinished, very temporary feeling somewhat amateur talking about
Starting point is 00:16:36 and inferior to even the new game in some moments. I'm sure it looked great. So that was the one part that was like god damn it. If the 3d was on par with every other ride here, this would have been perfect because like direction and like music and everything and live action especially was done super well. But that that one thing kind of hurt I heard it, you know, still super cool. And then all in all like a really bad CG is the fucking worst ever like bad. I don't know bad animation takes you out of it can take you out of it. But that's like there's a moment incredible bulk shit. There's a fucking there's a fantastic moment where the colossal pops up and you have to turn your head around because it's behind you on a gigantic screen at the rear of the theater.
Starting point is 00:17:32 But it's pops up and then it stops moving and it just stands still for a while and you're like oh man oh man that's so crazy it's look it's really big but these people in Titan costumes are walking around in front and through the the crowd and they look freaky as fuck like some of those really like the big nose creepy one the beast Titan the crawling one like you're seeing people in giant like a mascot outfits walking around as Titans and that shit is horrifying it's great you know so that works out well um yeah and and I think I think it was the last day for a couple of these rides too so we happened to just squeeze in on the final day to catch them so there was that after that ride we did oh yeah the last one which was Evangelion versus Godzilla so
Starting point is 00:18:35 really yeah you must have heard about it uh I did not hear about it until just now they were they were they were popping it they were pushing it online for a little bit with like a bunch of like crossover arts and then there was that that remember that mecha godzilla design that was Aval one colored did you not see that okay that's what that was about yeah so that was a a promotional thing to go with this usj ride because after shin godzilla was directed by ano why not just take that to the natural conclusion and create a short film about it and while you're creating that short film let's turn it into a ride so the why the fuck not yeah so the popcorn bucket they had was the the purple ava god mecha godzilla head and that thing was limited and and it was pretty cool looking
Starting point is 00:19:24 but the but the actual trip itself is super interesting because it's like okay you're in a fictional setting you're in osaka 3 right a future city of course of course and you're seeing like osaka landmarks and whatnot um and suddenly what the fuck is this an unknown angel attacks right and its power is immeasurable it's flying off the charts and misato's is super lost and confused by it but here it comes aw shit it's godzilla what do we do send out the kids do your best you know and uh you get that you get to see like um when godzilla shows up thank fucking god it's shin godzilla so it's looking at godzilla that can actually be defeated by humans it's it's it's it's the one that anno created as basically an angel in its own way since the
Starting point is 00:20:23 soundtrack of that movie is straight up just a vangelion anyway um and the cg in in this in this ride is like by far the most expensive and the best looking like that makes sense yeah yeah these properties put fucking money to it toho bankrolled the shit so um you know raska rey and shinji are like flipping off of each other doing triple techs you know what i mean like like basically like they're fighting like ninja turtles fight where they kind of roll over each other's backs and do successive moves it was cool to see that you know um and your seats are jumping and bending and flickering around as you get swung and then shinji has to pick you up in his hands and fight for a bit and stuff so that's all fun uh and then godzilla is kind of just like whatever get the
Starting point is 00:21:12 fuck away from me he's just kind of ignoring them because he's looking somewhere else and then of course like while they can't hurt godzilla because godzilla doesn't give a fuck uh oh here comes gedora the real problem you know and then they were like oh no was godzilla actually just ignoring us because gedora was coming is he the real enemy so you get to see that they just all punch that fucking dragon in his tank and that's like 10 minutes yeah and then you get a you get some cool combo attacks and fun stuff goes down so uh shinji fucking runs off the tail and does a cool fucking stab and it's it's it's cool it's legit fun and and like the whole time you're being carried around in a giant sort of helicopter piloted by kaji you know so of course yeah oh okay um
Starting point is 00:22:08 and and there's some moments of like i like how do i put this in the in the loading in the in the loading in the line when you're waiting they're doing a briefing for the whole world and stuff and then right before you go into you fucking asshole you just called a line like a real life loading screen because because there's images scrolling your fuck there's images you're fucking warps and you feel like you're in a fucking loading screen and then when the loading screen finishes and the attendants come out and they go all right everyone please get ready to go inside suddenly the pleasant osaka three is stuff shit shuts down and stops and then the fucking uh conflict music starts to kick in and then all the lights go dark and the red glow
Starting point is 00:22:57 and the ava like you're in a you're in a collapsing selle base feeling starts going down and you're like i this is actually kind of terrifying like being surrounded on all sides by nothing but that warm glow you know and then you're just like the feeling of being in that elevator starts to kind of happen it's good it's a good ride nice um yeah so so you know usj will always be worth it just so that you can catch some shit that will never make it to america ever and put that on the your your mental bet dock at everyone there will never be a harry potter ride in north america ever not a one i will say though that if they took that harry potter tech and combined it with attack on titan to make 3d maneuver gear it would be the greatest ride
Starting point is 00:23:55 of all time for the come on the money difference i know i know astonishing harry potter single handedly saved usj is what i was told you know um yeah that makes sense but like full credit to punch mom for that idea we're just like imagine putting 3d maneuver gear on this type of seat that just moves around it'd be unbelievable um of course we also got to do jaws which was a really fun one actually uh you're doing jaws is i loved it yeah yeah like surprisingly incredible for a little short quick ride you know um did you get like i don't know what kind of what kind of skipper did you get what do you mean skipper the the the boat captain christ i don't even remember because we got this spunky little girl that was kind of just like yeah let's do it everybody
Starting point is 00:24:51 i'm gonna show you the the way through the beach that is what i received now i remember yeah and then it's like oh i'm animated pay no attention to that thing over there there's a little bit of rocky water but okay nervous laughter and then she gets up the shotgun and like die you know like taking shots at it and stuff and then at the end kind of being like everybody don't worry about what you saw there anyway it was fun um and apparently like i like from what i understand this is what it's one of those things where they have fucking they actually have a water world section still running to this day yeah i took footage of it okay if you remember but now water world it's like it's still there but they dropped one piece on top of it that makes perfect sense because what the
Starting point is 00:25:45 that is like so yeah what are we gonna do push a kevin costner vehicle to japan in 2019 hey or just put a fucking muffy hat there the ocean yeah yeah aka water shout outs to um the the in california apparently there being a really elaborate water world ride that was going on during the drought where every single show they would just dump tons and gallons upon gallons of oceans of water to fucking do water world and there's a drought going on uh but anyway um they have that and we didn't make it to it but it sounded like there was a legit back draft ride as well i remember that i'm sad because i don't think i got on it but i i remember there being a back draft ride it was 15 minutes it was the shortest line and the the power vehicle that is back
Starting point is 00:27:00 draft aka the sentient fire that chases the fireman around that try to out it and and haunts the heroes to this day and slips into the fireman's locker and targets him to kill him back draft we didn't get to go on it but i was so hyped to see what that is stupid as shit i was i forgot what back draft even is fuck yeah man the fire knows i wanted to see japanese back draft more than anything but we didn't have time for it um we had to squeeze our way through the fucking minions at every left and right corner so you know that's how that's how it do i actually rode that ride in both of its incarnations the minions ride i'm i shit you know it's just the fucking all back to the future ride jury raked into a different fucking setup yeah yeah yeah so attack on titan had that where you're
Starting point is 00:27:51 walking through the the the line and it's like pay no attention to the fucking uh cyber dine logos on the walls as you walk by pay no attention to the fact that these newspaper people that are reporting on you from the trost district have these glowing lights on the wall behind them that may or may not be uh servers from the fucking uh a skynet ride when they had terminator there not but a couple months earlier you know like the ability the ability to just like strip down 90 percent of it and play plaster attack on titan there but still have these little bits and pieces peeking through is kind of weird but but uh yeah this is immersion ruining i said don't worry about it god damn it all right well anyway um usj good old time bunny island good time so far
Starting point is 00:28:52 we'll see how it goes tomorrow morning with the actual bunnies and the feeding and the treats you know and uh yeah japan's coming together it's coming together um you do anything yeah actually um i didn't it's you ever have people recommend you something and you're like and then for whatever reason you just cave on it you're like ah fine fuck it so i had that relationship with um a game called um blanking right now remnant have you seen this at all no but i feel like that name rings a bell so pull up something on your phone because it'll make it look uh more obvious so it's made by uh gunfire games who i am led to believe is x dark cider developers and it is dark souls with guns oh Jesus this looks like dark souls okay
Starting point is 00:29:54 you is this new because there's a lot of new footage about it uh like this is this came out on the 22nd so yeah it's it's a week old uh at tops and i was initially dismissive because oh it's dark souls guns yeah and cars well and no there's no cars well there's there's there's there's abandoned cars yeah and now that kind of makes sense because the dark cider devs seem to be like totally obsessed with like blown out post apocalyptic but magic city scape okay um resident evil for camera in certain moments too yeah but it's like it's really weird how it actually feels just like a souls game and that is i'm going to put that down entirely to its role it's the same role you can even fat role if your armor is too heavy um is gun is gunplay
Starting point is 00:30:56 the main thing or is there melee at all okay there is melee and the way that it works is very simple and very appreciated and it's just like hit right trigger to swing your whatever aim down sights to shoot your gun same button um and the like there aren't that many weapons in the game i think there's like 20 something but they all fulfill your classic archetype so there's the shotgun the coach gun the submachine gun the pistol the bigger pistol the magnum etc um um but thank god they're all good versions of them like because every single one i picked up is like oh it's it's that repeater pistol that has like the like the mauser look like the red nine look and if it was a bad one just fuck right but no it actually they all feel pretty good the game feels
Starting point is 00:31:56 pretty good you are constantly rolling through garbage and pretty much every wooden like item the game can be broken p to fucking shit with the difference being that they are all they all contain items are you constantly are you picking up like a bunch of guns with different stats nope okay picking up the submachine gun okay looking up the shotgun and is there any like asymmetrical multiplayer uh there is multiplayer but it is hey do you want to join your friends in multiplayer oh okay or would you like to join a random game in multiplayer okay that's where the game's uh second gimmick comes in so the first gimmick is that it's a dark souls in the post apocalypse with guns and you're fighting horrible tree monsters because people were doing stupid
Starting point is 00:32:52 parallel dimension crap and as that always goes stuff came back on through but the second part of it is that um uh the game is pseudo procedural so imagine diablo like it's not a rogue like in which every time you play uh you die constantly and every time you play you know there's a different layout it's you spawn into your game and your game will get seeded with a layout and that'll be your safe from now on okay yeah and there's a weird option right when you get to the first bonfire that is re-roll your your world if you want a different seed in case that first level was bullshit no in case that first level doesn't contain things that you wanted to see because one of the complaints slash like good things about the game that i've been seeing
Starting point is 00:33:52 like people can't seem to like there's no consensus on it is that you only see about half of the game's bosses in your entire trip through the game you only see about half the game's NPCs wow okay that procedure like i was i was playing it on stream and i ended up fighting this old man in a helicopter and people were like oh holy shit i never saw this guy you know that kind of thing uh meanwhile the boss that i got on my first as my first boss was bullshit like just this human sized like fucking bullshit machine that would teleport away and constantly shoot at me and you know how long that entire trip would be 15 to 20 and you rerun it with in multiplayer or you uh there's there's the there's the increasing difficulty mode style
Starting point is 00:34:55 kind of thing like a diablo like it has a lot of very specifically diablo influence in it as well um it's weird it's both weird and really familiar because all of the different disparate pieces are all things that you're very familiar with um it is a lot better than i thought it was gonna be mainly because the controls and the overall feel and look of the game are so solid are you joining your friend's seed or are you creating a new multiplayer you are joining your friend's seed okay to my knowledge um the other weird thing like i've been playing it um entirely solo because uh i don't want to deal with any of that shit particularly if i'm streaming it um is the way you level up in that game is so fucking weird like you know you gain experience
Starting point is 00:35:52 and you level up but like you instead of like stats they're called traits and they're stuff like you know like a what you would have in a skill tree it's like hey do you gain more experience or uh do you gain more money or do you get you have a higher health or endurance or any of that and there's like 30 other ones that all do weird bullshit it's it's a really solid $40 game and like you feel that it is a $40 game but it's a good one um is it on anything else it is on the pc it's an actual steam game uh like a normal video game and i believe there is also the console versions are you playing it on a keyboard uh no i'm playing on controller and the auto aim is extreme
Starting point is 00:36:51 it's actually fairly appreciated considering what you're doing okay when you come out of a role and you're holding down on um and you're holding down on like left trigger like your gun just snaps to an enemy's head instantly any pvp uh not to my knowledge okay yeah i'm seeing the only thing that i want to say about it that's oh sorry after you no i was gonna say i'm seeing like from the trailer them peeping here and stuff there's like bosses that are like lunging at you in i get it's almost like a soul's boss that is dealing with someone holding a gun where it's a jumping lunge attack from like super far across the screen like a sif tackle type of thing because yeah the the tougher enemies just come in two flavors and those flavors are
Starting point is 00:37:44 really big and you cannot stop their lunge attacks period like there's no stagger on them at all it's like you better roll through it like in particular one like of the bigger generic sword enemies comes at you with a charge that's very much like pursuers dash attack right right right yeah no i'm seeing him sorry after you no just i'm seeing a bunch of melee enemies so i imagine since you have a gun they must be bullshit in their ability to close the distance and stuff like that yeah yeah okay depending on uh how it goes you can usually pop most of them before they they come out and a lot of it depends a lot of that game's like success in its feel i feel depends on the fact that it has a really good role like it feels really good it has a bunch of invincibility
Starting point is 00:38:32 the only massive downside that i would like to point out and it should be pointed out is that the bosses are fucking terrible they are terrible um because you have guns every single boss in the game floods you with ads uh okay okay every single one um so there's two reasons yeah one is that if the but because it's a gunplay based game and there's no melee uh and you're not using stamina to attack right there is a stamina system for your roles but you know that's it i i've probably most of the boss ideas they would have come up with would have been like laughably easy and the second thing is you need to have enough ammo to kill the boss and if there were no ads the the ammo restrictions
Starting point is 00:39:30 that you go in with you would absolutely never have enough ammunition to kill the boss so you need to kill the ads to get your ammo back right okay but you're just constantly a hundred percent of the time flooded with ads that's the least fun way to do that that sucks yeah and as a result like the i don't know what the the core gameplay loop of just dungeon crawling is way more satisfying than actually fighting any bosses are there classes kind of there are starting classes like you would expect but the only real thing that changes is the mod that they start the game with there's a modding system which is essentially just uh you shoot a bunch of guys and then use the mod to give your bullets fire or whatever um and the one that you start with is going to be different
Starting point is 00:40:26 depending on what class you start and the gear you start with but almost immediately all the starter gear becomes just viable at the shop okay sir you're not seeing super different builds no there are builds like i got a weird insanity mask that heals me very slowly but it seems pretty muted all things considered that that part of like a diablo game is absolutely not present i mean i guess like if the stages are random rolling then there's variety in this in the level as opposed to the characters but yeah okay but yeah it's it's a lot better than i thought it was i'm gonna keep enjoying it uh it's actually a sequel to an oculus rift launch game what the fuck that uh like if you go if you have access to your pc right now to like go look at that
Starting point is 00:41:24 shit yeah you can take a look at um it's called chronus vr chronos vr or whatever it's it's got like the same exact bonfires it's it's got the same like primary location as the beginning of the game and all i can think of is that no one played that game because it was an oculus rift launch title and as a result they're like well shit might as well just use that shit again okay well uh i mean i'm seeing a sword and board like fixed camera oculus rift game so i don't know if the game or if this i mean i guess yeah no that's it okay okay that is that is his direct prequel and there's a weird weird statement of like it's not a prequel it does take place before remnant and it it is in the same world but it's
Starting point is 00:42:40 not a prequel which seems like a desperate attempt to be to get away from like the sequel problem i will say that when i when i did play vr like games where you are like you are the camera in this third person adventure and the camera is fixed is it are interesting because it feels like you're playing with your toys you know it's a really weird like yeah like i got my action figure running through the stage like in a sandbox kind of like actual sandbox kind of feeling so that was cool but um huh okay random as fuck sure yeah it's just this nice little it's this nice little game that i ended up being like uh because like i played surge and i played lords of the fallen and code vein looks like shit and like the it's weird because nobody has stepped up to make the
Starting point is 00:43:29 good dark souls clone in 3d yes in 3d a ton of 2d ones have actually happened but at the very least like this one is probably the best one out of all of them despite the fact that it uses fucking guns as its primary gameplay mechanic hmm okay well that's it for me really i mean i've been chunking away at my usual grindy video games but uh probably gonna restart three houses because i haven't played that game in weeks and so i'll probably go back to it at a certain point and like that game man if you skip dialogue and know what you're doing you can fucking fly through that game it's it's it reminds me of when um do you ever do a replay of persona 4
Starting point is 00:44:27 uh i know but i watched uh stuff playing it it's it okay well the the reason i asked on the replay or i ever like uh really fucking screw up in p5 and be like okay i have to oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it's astonishing how fast you can go when you get rid of all of your anime dialogue you're just you're reading and listening like it's an rpg right but it's like yeah it is it's shocking how little action is happening you know it's really just like yeah conversations and occasional gestures and whatnot and then like in some moments you're just mashing through it and the music barely has time to start up before it's back to loading again yeah all i can think of is that like over and over and over i'm like i think tons of people just want a really really
Starting point is 00:45:26 like fleshed out deep dating game like think of the the the amount of times like think about mass effect and persona and now fire emblem it's like it's the primary focus of conversation for a lot of people yeah well i mean fucking killing monsters and saving the world is every game does that right but like going on a date with one of the characters on your team oh my goodness right getting close and intimate and possibly getting rewarded with a scene whoa you know it's it's it's a fucking it's a cat it's a surefire like like cash point like you gotta do it and a game like fire emblem where they kind of have had it's been a character
Starting point is 00:46:19 driven game for that long anyway it's just a natural evolution you see the i still think back to them being like we have no idea why it's popular in the west all of a sudden it's like it became really popular in the west when you started focusing on the dating stuff it's the dating stuff also that that's why you also shoved a bunch of them and smash brothers i mean the fuck are people who do like ignore that you know yeah like it got to the point it's like who the fuck are more than roi and at that point like you actually couldn't know unless you played like japanese only games right and then ike and then robin and then the other one
Starting point is 00:47:06 yeah the other one ellie wood the the one uh fucking corn corn yes the one that talks then fuck i don't like corn and i don't like the corn talks he doesn't fight for his friends it's corn needs uh i played just enough of like fates to be like shut up corn in my mind forever well uh didn't care for it i mean if that's pretty much it for me if you do decide to restart you can pick the best house and and play the correct way so you know yeah black eagles oh yeah black eagles is so obviously the best house it even has two separate routes unlike all of the other ones and and that's the last fire emblem three houses opinion you're gonna hear out of woolly oh why why i heard you i heard you had a lot of fun with it i did actually and uh and clode i i did
Starting point is 00:48:13 i had fun i did have fun with it that that is true like at the end that was clode clode is the best and the gold dean golden doors or whatever they're called i uh i at the end of that video i walked away at the end of that video series i walked away saying like i legitimately enjoyed what i what i played there that was fun um but uh whether or not that was enjoyable to watch however is a different question so so i'm gonna both bust your balls and then unbust your balls about 10 seconds bust them up all right one you gotta get your head out of your ass with this french pronunciation of names that totally exist in english i didn't think about it twice i just said the word that has existed in my in my world forever i didn't like this is the i made no second one and i made
Starting point is 00:49:06 no attempt to think about it i just said the thing that exists because i know a dude named clode like i it's just it's the world i live in and i know the game said it and of course i wasn't paying attention so that's 100% my my stupidity and the second one is that uh i totally restarted game like three times because it's so mechanically like intense that i would get like a two hours in and be like oh my god i didn't even know about that fucking mechanic because fuck and some of the reason that i was able to pick up on a lot of them faster is because i had twitter open the whole time just going what's up with this and got to go with it oh you're you're an idiot pat just do this okay via via social media
Starting point is 00:49:54 instead of via performative video dance i see i did explain uh to some that like my my obsession with like thinking there was a weapon triangle even though it was not in the tutorial at all all that yeah that's from uh uh fucking what's it called uh tokyo moron sessions right i just it's ptsd i was like i got came at so hard about not using that and ignoring it and not understanding it that i was just so scared to not have that to let that happen again so i just the first thing i did right off the bat was just go okay i'm not gonna make that mistake and it turned out it was it was the worst possible trap i could have set for myself so jokes on you they knew that they had actually watched that thing and then they were like we will mock woolly with removing it as a joke
Starting point is 00:50:52 fire emblem yay it's kind of weird because like with this with this removal of the the weapon triangle and its replacement with just the skills system like you just get skills that acts like the weapon triangle is probably fucking gone now forever you think works fine it works great i mean what i did read people saying that um the triangle exists in the form of people with those weapons get abilities that defeat their rock paper scissors counterparts oh yeah you wouldn't have gotten far enough so yeah basically you get to the point where like if you have like a sea in swords or lances or whatever you'll get a skill that is like acts is get a skill that is specifically for people in heavy armor and then swords get uh swords get
Starting point is 00:51:51 abilities for like flyers and monsters and so on and so forth so it becomes functionally identical but it's implemented in a different way it takes away that feeling of like well i'm not even going to bother attacking this enemy with the main character because they have a sword on right now right right right like um yeah blastoise learns a charizard fucking ability as opposed to just being naturally that right yeah pretty much okay um oh that how wondrous day i was told to make sure to turn my discord off but woolly's phone is totally audible through the audio uh yeah sorry about that not my phone necessarily not my phone necessarily uh it's all your phone woolly i don't have default ring notifications on my phone i have fun or of course not i have fun or
Starting point is 00:52:57 noises of course you don't even your phone must be hipstered to the next i love flex and my jojo slash knighthood you leave it be such an asshole all right let's get into some news let's do it or do uh the first the first order of news i is i literally just couldn't understand what i was even saying fuck me god damn it all right what do we got sorry the first order of news well actually um if you like train wrecks and if you enjoy uh fucking just um people trying to have fun but actually just making assumptions about things that are i don't know i i i i have no excuses what can i say i thought i was just gonna have fun with these characters as they popped up and then i just ended up annoying
Starting point is 00:53:52 everybody so but you can experience all the pain and more over on woolly versus where i play fire emblem but play is a loose term so oh that's true and if you want to see more of that remnant game and other grindy bullshit but also f7 and uh fucking what's that what's coming on astral chain this week yeah go down to twitch.tv such angry as pat usually around 8 p.m in the evening on the east coast yeah sorry about that one folks anyway uh let's take a quick word from our sponsors let's do that all right so this week the pucks the pop pop pop pop pop wow hey ho this week the podcast is sponsored by door dash if you've got dash what's up well i'll tell you what's up they're at your door ding dong food that's right for some food right now

Starting point is 01:01:25 the wave the essential and the hybrid um all affordable prices because they cut out the middle man and they sell it directly to you and of course i've talked about the fact that they ship you a mattress in a box it's kind of insane it makes no sense it shows a picture door and then you open it and then it's like there was a mattress in there what what how do you what i don't but how wizardry harry wizardry free shipping and returns to the us in canada you can be sure of your purchase with casper's hundred night risk-free sleep on it trial like that is a lot of time to make up your mind i'm a pretty decisive person but even if you're indecisive i would say that's like two weeks maybe three this is a hundred nights to try it out so it's more than three months

Starting point is 01:03:32 spider-man getting yeah and getting 50 percent of you know what what they're working on i suppose i do like not to get all topical and shit but i feel it's appropriate i do like how the public's love of spider-man contrasted with the recent public event of burning down of the whole planet has really shown how fucked society is i mean we had version one of this earlier when uh it was like disney acquires everything planet earth now owned by disney and everyone's like god damn it that sucks but yay holy shit maybe this means my movies my movies can get my movie buddies can get back together and we can do all the crossovers now yeah yeah sell my soul for a crossover um yeah imagine imagine if like every time there was like a marvel versus capcom capcom
Starting point is 01:04:41 acquired the brand of the crossover the winner that would be sick for a time and then it would be the worst thing that could have ever happened anything the winner of these fighting games acquires the properties what you thought it was just a fucking battle you thought it was just a game you didn't realize the tatsunoko lost that fight uh i like that now friend now friender belongs to capcom um yeah man uh so basically sony and marvel and it seems like specifically kevin feige could not agree on the financial terms of spider-man's continued existence within the mcu um you there walls yep i'm there can you hear me i'm totally there
Starting point is 01:05:35 oh hello hello hello i'm there yet i i totally lost you there for a good 10 seconds okay um all right well we're back so uh what i was saying is it seems like uh as far as secure futures go tom holland is someone that everybody likes on both sides of the aisle uh he's not lost in the custody battle but uh sony basically seems to be like yeah kevin feige is too busy to work on our stuff and you know we understand because marvel has him super busy working on other ips so why would he have time to work on ips that they do not own that statement was so like remember spider-man does not belong to marvel it's it's really somehow really cut into it i felt a little bit um felt a little bit like a guitar hero taking shots
Starting point is 01:06:39 at active at rock band yeah nonsensically right when when uh what's his name fucking activision dude bobby kottak was taking his shots going yeah some other imitators are trying to to encroach on the real brand guitar hero so there's a there's a like a weird tertiary thing that follows right after that where um it is it is like a factor of a dystopian nightmare that we are like i'm seeing more and more of do you or did you watch bethesda's e3 conference this year no so there was a point that like it was this mine's like doublespeak 1984 nonsense history rewriting or they showed like a trailer for doom before the hand they got out this uh this guy and it was like you know we here at bethesda uh invented the first person june a shooter genre
Starting point is 01:07:41 with games such as doom and wolfenstein back in the 90s and you're like just because you bought in software does not mean you retroactively did that dude disney just did that with jack Kirby i don't know if you saw that no in the fucking like press junket for eternals they're like coming from disney legend jack Kirby's mind eternals is a story about immortals uh and i'm like jack Kirby was dead for decades before disney started to get into this but acquisitions though we have disney buys marvel buys the it's oh we have acquired his corpse and thus he is now disney legend retroactively oh my god and warped i mean um god like in a world where fucking hasbro owns death row records who's to say what's real that's good i like that all right
Starting point is 01:08:46 hasbro bought entertainment one entertainment one owned death row sug knight death row pock can we get some really really really good transformers remixes out of this i mean fuck you know and it seems like they don't even know that they have it that's kind of the nuts part snoop dog catalogs all under the same fucking brand get some care bears in there do what you want um but but yes uh acquisitions mean you can claim this was always what was going down this was always under your umbrella you know it's part of why you acquire things um remember george lucas's star wars is just another brilliant product of disney i remember when disney invented star wars the kids will the kids won't remember anything the the kids will 100 percent just be like oh yeah
Starting point is 01:09:48 that thing that goes alongside the lion king and mickey mouse totally anyway um this is a fucking it's a fucking weird one because to sony's credit if they said this at any other time in history it would have been a complete like fucking farce of a statement but they do have spider verse under their belt right they did well also the deal that marvel apparently offered them was like completely absurd yeah well it was well hold on they were going for 50 50 but apparently what they had was uh all merch and five percent of opening day or something along those lines yeah so the difference between the two is a gulf of like unfairness in one way or the other you know now you can argue that like sony shouldn't doesn't deserve to have owned that ip in the first
Starting point is 01:10:43 place and i don't even care to have that argument because it's stupid but like going from 45 like going from 95 percent of gross profit on a fucking movie franchise to 50 percent yeah who the who why would why would you have taken that deal yeah and the and the our success well the argument is that like you never would have had such a successful spider-man franchise on your hands if we didn't fucking do it because you try argument is totally valid you tried twice before and you fucking sucked at it i am really really excited to see them continue from far from home in the alternate universe where they're not allowed to talk about the characters that peter hung out with for the past couple years and all the graffiti of tony fucking stark on the walls everywhere has been
Starting point is 01:11:40 scrubbed off scrubbed hey hey peter where'd you get your suit i made this one at home time for a new me on may what happened to your boyfriend whose name we're no longer allowed to sell my god oh my god oh my god fuck off dude holy shit there's so much and like the tony one is really like clear but there's like way more on top of that this is like oh man but now he gets to hang out with new venom though the venom that predates spider-man's existence halfway across the country on the other coast yeah not halfway 100 across the country on the other coast uh it's gonna be fucking weird and tom holland is doing his best and he's just like i'm excited for all things yay
Starting point is 01:12:44 i still have a job but wow is this a messy one and people are fucking mad dude for all you mcu stands there is a very good outcome to this and that is you no longer have to worry about tom holland ruining the twist to the latest movie because you won't be in it i remember dude i was like so anyway i was number one i said like oh this whole phase four thing is a half phase because it's all about tv and then they're gonna make it the real phase five now that everything's back and it's it's like same den fuck that up oops that ain't going down at all so i really feel like and this is gonna have some very minor spoilers for spider-man uh the far from home i really feel like they knew that this deal could have gone bad because the way that movie
Starting point is 01:13:40 ends is you just fucking kill that movie franchise right there and be like and then we never heard from peter again um because that's totally gonna be what it is you know that right it's literally gonna be like what happened to him in universe he he quit how do they acknowledge it on the mcu side what do you do you can't you can't do that because then if it ever corrects itself down the line you have to find some way to fix it all you do is be like oh spurs and then everyone forgets you know you have some unknown evil force take him away and kidnapped him from our dimension he's in an alternate timeline now that they can't they can't do any of that shit at all like they'll just say like what about the
Starting point is 01:14:35 web slinger can't you call him and it'll be like nah he's been he's he's somewhere else now like you know some throwaway line you can't do that you can't do any of that shit you all you can do is what about that guy you used to hang out with oh he died i didn't i didn't know this right but like because i'm don't forget that those those those embarrassing emails from like not too long ago when it all came out but um that's sony ever when it's sony's a fucking psychopath there's that um apparently the they did they counted it out and sony realized that the spider man franchise and all of its uh orbiting properties consists of 800 characters uh-huh so you want to talk about finding the maximum teat of the cow for succulent milking they've pulled 800 characters out of spider
Starting point is 01:15:39 that's what you're gonna do with this i don't like that well i never would have imagined right i would if i were to count up all of spider man all of his clones all of the alternate versions and his bad guys i never would have imagined that many but then again it's been a long how many years so i mean there's like what 70 years of comics to rid of the fuck i suppose so i suppose so well and it's and it's the rules like everyone who ever showed up in a spider-man comic first regardless of their later success as a solo character counts counts here yeah yeah whatever oh boy well anyway um god bless god bless like is there even a way to create a a fucking replacement of some kind or do you just go back to nothing you know i guess you do yeah um contract says well in the
Starting point is 01:16:40 meantime uh fucking you want to talk about like hot calls the literal exact thing i said from a couple weeks ago straight straight uh from from my mouth to god's ears how about that moon night miss marvel and she hulk come into disney plus they're getting a tv show um yeah like i don't want the tv show thing but ultimately it's cool to hear that they're doing these characters i wish there were i wish there were movies instead i can't believe there's going to be a fucking moon night tv show yeah actually no no wait she hulk needs to be a tv show it's too perfect for it she's a fucking needs to be alec mcbeal with side stories about punching things million percent million percent and i think they know that the one thing i did say that didn't come true was nova
Starting point is 01:17:36 but uh we'll see what guardians three turns into you know nova's dead man yeah they might undo it there's always richard writer so comic books um um then there's uh uh uh uh what should we call it uh kamala khan i was actually gonna say uh there was a different thing that you were dead on about that i will get there first because fuck you i hate you did you see the the god damn sitama gameplay from the love punch fan yo fuck everybody i am holding that w loud and proud above my head i like the amount of people that were just writing on what your shit that you said was because it was one of those things where i feel like i said something pretty reasonable and you just went against it and because you went
Starting point is 01:18:30 against it so hard everyone just joined in and was like yeah woolly you're fucking crazy and i'm like am i or is it the children who are wrong and then god says it's the fucking children dude here's one punch man it turns out i it turns out that's the main thing it's ridiculous to expect standards from those types of games it turns out the main gimmick of one punch man is in fact going to be implemented into the video game who would have thunk it like it would have been such an insane failure if they didn't do something like this so what we have is one punch man now gameplay what it is is uh sitama is making his way to the fight but he's late and you can see him trying to race to the scene as you play as the other heroes trying to slow down the enemy and if you
Starting point is 01:19:27 do perfect parries and defend and fight well sitama hurries up and he gets there faster and once he arrives you take control of him and you do the fucking one punch man it's the best it's really cool i love that idea i'm so happy so so so happy they're doing that you would rather the game be worse so that you could be right of course fuck you let's all remember what's actually important here smugness ah shit imma be smug smugness rules everything it is and i can be smug because we're getting not only my idea but the good one it sounds awesome what a fun idea for for for one punch man the game anyway um so yeah that's coming out what else got announced um there's a fucking
Starting point is 01:20:33 so the trailer for the mk 11 combat pack dropped and that roster showed up and everyone was like that's cool where's ash you know the chainsaw noise that you teased yeah what's and the character that's in everything lately it's so weird and all the dancing and teasing that Bruce Campbell is done online anyway so the combat pack is going to be night wolf spawn who looks pretty cool terminator tie in with the movie um sindel joker probably tie in with the movie in an alternate costume and shanksong but ash from fucking evil dead isn't there and i hope that they figure that out and then do an updated version of this because that was the oh you don't even know oh this is fun i get to break the bad news to you this was the hypest
Starting point is 01:21:32 uh uh uh they did figure out the ash situation woolly i heard rumors you know what this you know what the solution to that was what's that it didn't work out so that's why joker's there god damn it on the xbox uh like on the xbox store i think it was uh the the banner that comes up like combat pass now available contains all these characters it says all the same characters except instead of joker it says ash so he was slapped in there as as a last minute replacement they still had the the fucking injustice rights and all that stuff yeah i guess so man god what a disappointing socks what a disappointing replacement you know of all the horror because not to mention it's the only time too that like a horror character has not shown up in the new mk right so yeah that's
Starting point is 01:22:28 so that's a huge bummer um anyway the rest seem you know i will see what spawn's move list is like i guess but i've i've kind of gotten really sad about about that because i thought it was really cool to be like you know like i mentioned it before but it's like it's the horror movie character that is like the hero that that fucking fights the cool monster as opposed to the monster yes exactly exactly um yo yak is a three and four and five but right now just three coming to the west available on your playstation four the thing that wasn't supposed to ever happen so i didn't expect them to drop them as like a collection with like a staggered release schedule that's probably the weirdest part about it
Starting point is 01:23:25 i guess so yakuza three a four and five are as part of a bundle right now and if you buy it you get the yakuza three right now and the yakuza four and a couple months and five a couple months after that is it just because it's taking that long to fucking get it all i believe that is the porting process and yeah they want to be like no no they're coming um four in october and five in february and with that you will be able to play every yakuza game in some fashion of the mainline series on your playstation four there you go which dude while i appreciate while i very much appreciate yeah how like having them all there yeah yeah this creates the most confusing series to get into ever because where to start has a time
Starting point is 01:24:31 jump thing going on that no other series has ever had because the story goes one two three four five six you know that's yeah yeah yeah but the release order for these actual games right goes zero one six sorry no in release order it goes three four five zero one six two yeah the the answer to how do i get in is make friends with the right people like it's actually really confusing now i've had you and man explain it to me on multiple occasions and i still have to fucking go okay wait stop every every time and go what was but what about and then okay um so just play zero is the advice that that community has fucking settled on and then if
Starting point is 01:25:41 you really love zero we can figure it out from there sure or just play judgment now actually yeah the standalone that's true that's true uh okay so we got that apparently tie the tie the Tasmanian tiger was had a switchport kick starter um i didn't i didn't hear about this at all but chrome studios god bless i used to do so i used to help him with some qi they went for 150k for funding to uh to bring tie the Tasmanian tiger to the switch and they succeeded people care people care why i i just i yeah stop well if it existed in the gamecube era chances are there's at least a hundred people that care about it that's that's the hard because they were children
Starting point is 01:26:50 i mean that was what 2002 yeah yeah yeah that was so people did there were children then i mean if they were born in that year they're 17 now anyway it's weird tie the Tasmanian tiger but also on Kickstarter a shovel knight dungeon duels board game got kick started and cool that's fun because you get to check out these little fun miniatures of all the the knights and they look great they look great i can't wait to see them painted um if you check out the link here you can see some of the miniatures they have so shovel knight continuing to crush it in all forms and to dominate uh i i i wish yacht club all the success as they slowly tentacle their way into everything everywhere
Starting point is 01:27:45 and and we just accept it because the quality is good so far anyway yeah um if they had anything that sucked ass yet no uh i want to say this popped up but i feel like we already knew that a metro 2033 movie was in the works am i crazy hey well they can you do something about your gain you are actually cutting out a lot on my end and i'm having a lot of trouble understanding you over the past couple minutes oh sorry about that let me see what i can do like the the the cutoff point for your discord seems set like too high okay i'll try physically dropping it how's about that is that a little better that sounds pretty good okay all right i'll let you know so um it turns out
Starting point is 01:28:35 uh that uh yeah i guess a metro 2330 2033 movies in the works but i thought we already knew that i did think we already knew that did we just assume that maybe it was unofficial and now it's official i'm not sure but that popped up this week and i was like that rings a bell hmm well anyway i'm not going to dwell on it because uh last big thing i want to get to and this is kind of fucking crazy in how thorough this dropped but a ps5 development kit design patent straight up just showed up online um by a code masters artist it was confirmed that what this was we have a full-on picture of a dev kit which usually looks pretty different from the final playstation they usually look like fridges yeah yeah you know um and oftentimes
Starting point is 01:29:33 there's like different for there's the dev kit and then there's a test kit which ends up looking a little different in some cases so um there's different devices but uh the the test kits end up looking a lot like the final um machines in many cases but whatever uh yeah suddenly out of nowhere a design patent for an unknown device was discovered and uh it was designed by an engine a sony engineer so everyone basically looked at this weird like it looks like an alien wear like tower have you seen it no i haven't here i'm gonna send you a picture of it look like a stupid pile of shit it looks like an alien wear tower lying on its side with a chunk cut out of it and give me two seconds it's like let's take a look at this thing and then you can see the full
Starting point is 01:30:32 rotation of it uh if you click the link in the podcast notes you can check this thing out but um wow that looks like a stupid piece of shit it's it that looks terrible it really like all i can say is i feel like it's one of those like edgy edgy new pcs for gamers rise up feels like it was that's uh that was made by the same design team that made um fucking mad cats designs for 1997 on controllers it's got ribs like just the ribs is what gets it's got ribs man yeah zeno morph ribs well uh anyway uh yeah so a codemasters artist confirmed that yes this this patent was in fact a ps5 dev kit so oh really they actually just he just confirmed it that's weird isn't it it is um very unusual but again it's not the actual release console so this is you know if you give the article
Starting point is 01:31:37 here reported on game atzu shows you what a ps4 dev kit looks like and it looks nothing like the actual ps4 release so yeah um i'm so confused by sony lately because everything about ps5 is like remember when they used to like shroud that shit in double triple secrecy and all that shit and now like cerny's talking about like yeah we're thinking about putting an ssd in here here's a load time demonstration it's a new of this console that doesn't exist shut up yeah they might be trying something new or it might just be in response to the way microsoft has been weirdly open to you know it's almost like like microsoft talking about scarlet as much as it has as well as kind of like a weird testing the water is seeing what people think and feel it's like hey are you guys
Starting point is 01:32:29 ready for a new generation i don't know i'm just just thinking about it but i don't know you tell me you you you want to go over here you wouldn't want you don't want to go out with me do you you want to go out i mean hey we don't you know just thinking about it check the box check yes or no and uh just just pat me the paper after class if you if you kind of you know you're new gen new generation yeah it's this weird little dance but we'll see um all right emails
Starting point is 01:33:09 hey if you want to send in an email to this podcast you can send it to castle super beast male at gmail.com that's castle super beast male at gmail.com dear lord and smaller lord of the chateau super beast i recently learned of a change in the future lineup of david cage games they will no longer be exclusive to sony platforms i have questions first do you think that there's a chance this will go terribly for the studio as their ports turn into complete messes or are their games so awful on average that nobody will notice a bad port this has been the case for a bit ever since they showed up in the epic game store and it appears that sony titles might actually be showing up on the epic game store as well
Starting point is 01:34:02 which is absolutely fucking banana wild um yeah i have a feeling those some of those ports are going to be ass i don't think anyone will notice i think it'll it'll just go over like normal and um people who are impressed with the the the realistic cinematic robot experience will be more than happy to experience it on their PCs and that'll be the end of that like it's but i think death strandings can be an epic store exclusive oh my god dude oh my god because like that's actually a realistic nightmare now uh yeah but like i said i'm one of those people that like i'm just like well whatever man i i'm just gonna fucking play it on my ps like fuck you you know like that is that is an active like
Starting point is 01:34:59 this is some bullshit but fuck you i'm not even dancing in that that that fucking ballroom um with the strands that connect us man um dear blanko with dreads and balding ginger urian i recently had a pop off when i learned that certain parts of the song modern crusaders are in latin uh when the lyrics are translated are a perfect fit for the themes of part five you ever had a small or major detail you missed on first viewing and it was really exciting when you found it later i mean every jojo op like exemplifies this pretty dramatically absolutely i don't know shit about those op's and then then jeff usually tells me and i'm like oh yep i missed it all that's always pretty strong um shout out to the rolling stones uh yeah there's we talked
Starting point is 01:35:56 a couple times about like things that are movies that are great on rewatch you know i managed to go through the entirety of the evangelion the first time before realizing that uh shinji is a bitch that's a really easy detail i know super last minute reveal on that one never saw it come in oh wow shinji i thought oh man episode 24 turns out hey uh stark says i've always loved bar doc i swear hey regular pat and regular willy ever since yeah ever since evo i've been really trying to get back into fighting games and my primary focus is dragon ball the thing is that always stuck out to me is that my favorite character has been android 16 when the game came out he was just so he just happened to be one of the
Starting point is 01:36:50 highest tiers he slipped but my question stands have you ever genuinely loved the character who ended up being high tier and did you have to defend yourself when people accused you of tier whoring a while ago i was making we have at it yeah right i was making a team for dragon ball and i wanted to play all sayings specifically the ones related to goku because i wanted adult gohan's cool super with his dad helping him um shits raw and in order for the team to fill out properly i ended up going up with bar doc because it's goku's dad oops top tier team now i look like a tryhard but all i wanted to do was wrap the lineage of goku well first of all fuck the word tryhard that shit sucks second um yeah trying so hard though second uh yeah capcom
Starting point is 01:37:34 versus snk2 my characters that i love the most were blanka cammy and sagat little did i know that was the fucking end all be all meta of the game by the time the top tier nightmare by the time it yeah it took a it took years for it to get there but that's where it ended up and it was pretty funny uh i i i've that's the only time it's ever happened to me um and then steve fox turned out to be really good in tekken 7 and now darly's pretty she's shaping up to be isn't steve good in every tekken that he's in i think he was really subpar in four but i might be really i might be a scrub at that but i heard i i believe he was not that great in four and then they fixed them up a lot um but yeah uh yeah man that should happen sometimes you know all i gotta say is like
Starting point is 01:38:28 if it's the funnest way for you to play the game then do it no wait change that that's the argument people use when they hack and cheat the ultimate top tier okay well anyway don't cheat though um um let's take one here stop cheating at video games d15 sax says hello 100 completion man in mr fighting games while playing dmc 5 i noticed that dante's ex costume works really well with virgil's new black and blue look you ever thought a character's alternative costume looks and fits better than the original all the time yeah nero with the white coat is because of the the nature of the way that i got the the code from capcom like i will never get white code nero and it
Starting point is 01:39:22 prompts me to fuck out um uh virgil's special alts uh or not special virgil's alton in marvel 3 was uh blue coat with gold trimmings and black hair and it looks fantastic and it's like a dark dark blue i love it better you know like there's definitely a lot of that yeah yeah yeah for sure man um and skull girls all the alt colors are better than the defaults for the characters because they have so many good ones so uh that happens a lot for sure for sure for sure for sure i think there's though there's a problem though in that like oftentimes i'll prefer the alternate just because it's the alternate mm-hmm and it's like yeah i'm different but when it's an alternate with a reference like i i i end up usually falling getting attached to it pretty heavily so yeah okay
Starting point is 01:40:20 well you know we can do a short one it's not always going to be long you understand i'm gonna go back to bed no i'm not i'm gonna play destiny or whatever yeah you know we're we're here to please but we don't want to disappoint we did it where are we is that why we're here they can't say we didn't do it we did it they could we hit all the boxes we hit all the dockets we talked about everything as usual we had a banter we had a chat we took some emails we did a full episode they can't say we didn't do it we didn't talk about anything like purely revolting this week though do you want to fill that quota do you have anything particularly disgusting you want to ruin people's lives with um toilets in japan have water really really low in
Starting point is 01:41:13 the toilet really low it's all dry bowl so yeah so when you have to sit down and use the toilet you're hitting drop you're hitting dry the whole time yeah i like that and when you flush the water is only going to do so much motherfucker yeah no i like yeah no that's good so get used to the dry bowl lets you admire your work graffiti graffiti stains you're getting it looks like a car is doing donuts in the fucking bowl looks like takumi's drifting on his way down that's japan good night everyone
