Starting point is 00:00:00 Music What's up? How you doing? Thinking about vomit. Do you want to talk about vomit? Nah, I think we got all that out. Everything I had to say in epilogue was addressed in my epilogue video. This is an epilogue video? This is an epilogue video. I think it's gonna go up on my channel. Me and Reggie sat down and discussed the accusations that were leveled against me. You don't know how vomit works? Whatever was happening on your stream. I had a little bit of a redux. I saw a clip with Paige talking about it. Oh yeah, don't vomit in a woman's
Starting point is 00:01:27 purse. Don't do that. There's an epilogue to which I address the concerns. A conclusion was drawn. Punch Mom's opinion was brought into the equation. Oh, finally! And we have solved it. You've solved it? Unequivocally. There's a solution. Completely. I didn't expect there would be a solution to this problem. Yeah, and to win that video. It was just a random discussion on the stream, but I think it makes sense. So yeah, it's gonna get clipped and tossed up on the channel. And yeah, there is a full-on solution. Okay, well, shit. That defeats no need to talk about throwing up anymore. Nope, I...
Starting point is 00:02:16 DNB was the acronym. DNB? DNB was the acronym for the perfect solution. Okay. Everybody who's... everybody who tuned in... My brain just goes, do not barf. Yeah. And it's like that. I mean, that would technically be a solution. Anyone, anyone who tuned in to my stream has already caught the tech and knows what the answer is. But yeah, that video should be should be popping up eventually. Shit. I'm fascinating. So instead... You know what, Willie? We like fighting games here on this channel, and there's been a lot of great memories of playing fighting games. Do you remember back in the day when we used to play our Tuckin fighter games? Tuckin? Our Tuckin? Tuckin?
Starting point is 00:03:09 Fighter games? Yeah. Oh man, you could feel the whole world cringe. Well, you know, for what it's worth, like, Vin Diesel is a gamer. Yeah, he's a huge gamer. He's a big ol... We're talking about... Tabletop dirt. By the way, we're talking about Michelle Rodriguez drunkenly stumbling over the fact that she and Vin Diesel used to play Tuckin back in the day, but doesn't even know the name of Tuckin. So that means that, you know, as people that appreciated those games, they probably understand, looking at their own game, how utterly dogshit the quality of the models are. That game looks so bad. It looks real bad. It looks worse. The new Fast and the Furious game they announced at the Video Game Awards looks worse than the last gen.
Starting point is 00:04:02 The Wheelman from 2009. Version of Vin Diesel. Yeah, that's right. It looks worse than Escape from Butcher Bay Vin Diesel. It's pretty abysmal. And before we get too far away from mocking Michelle Rodriguez, I would like to say that I bet she actually did play a shitload of Tuckin 3 with Vin Diesel back in the day. She just didn't know because she was drunk then, as she is drunk now, in the process of going, wow, what did Michelle Rodriguez go to jail for again? I don't know. Drunk driving and hit and run. Really? Yeah. So Fast and the Furious star, Michelle Rodriguez has a DUI and hit and run.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Wow, I did not know that. He didn't know she went to jail. I did. That's why she wasn't back for the second Resident Evil movie, but she was back for like the third or fourth one or some shit. No shit. Even though they killed her fucking character in the first one. That's how do you it's really easy. You take you take your cat and then you take your ship. Why would you do this? Come on. Substance abuse is not a joke. No, but I mean, how do I she had already been in those movies? Snow Dogs 3 starring Michael Vick. Yeah, no, but woolly. She had already been in multiple Fast and the Furious movies by the time she got her DUI in her. Okay, so Cuba Gooding, Jr. After Snow Dogs 2 joins Michael Vick in Snow Dogs 4. The revenge. No, no, no, no,
Starting point is 00:05:56 it's caught in a in a dog fighting slump it a lot like like getting in. I don't know, woolly. I feel like you have a grand assumption of the Hollywood industry in terms of their lack of tolerance for criminal endeavor. That's not at all what I'm coming at it from. I'm looking at it from the point of view of like direct irony. The direct irony that is the franchise you're known for and the crime you were associated with. Well, you know, those, you know, they're all canonically drunk, right? I mean, that's how they're so brave and cool. Certainly hearing about David DeCovney and his sex addiction makes a show like California Cation make more sense. But yeah, the fact that you're a part of a franchise that's about wild ass stunt driving. Yeah. And
Starting point is 00:06:43 you're a piece of shit behind the wheel. You can only do it while you're wasted. It's the only way. Was that one incident that had both events? I don't know. I hit the Wikipedia and it said DUI and hit and run. So it's like, because I mean, it's not that either is better. But hitting runs is significantly worse. But but I know I'm saying not that either is better. But the idea that you these are two separate events. Yeah, makes you absolute garbage. Yeah, I got no sympathy for drunk drivers at all. Yeah, it's such an easy crime to just obviously not do. Yeah, it's it's it's like it's way. It is it is way understandable that somebody is okay. If there's it's easy. It's there's a lot of people sometimes you just got to rob a bank, but you never have
Starting point is 00:07:37 to drive. That's like I'm trying to get at the point where it's like the drinking part. People struggle with that. Yeah, that's a thing. That's a real thing that happens. And it that's a whole other chapter. Yeah, that whole part of the conversation over here. But what you do once it starts. Yeah. And you're you're and you're adamant that whatever your adamant just like now I'm going to get home fucking I can do it keep it between 10 and two. It's fine. Well, here's the problem. We're good. It's just it creates confidence. And confidence leads to you underselling your level of drunkenness. Yeah, no, it's it's full on it's odd for you. It's Utis and I it's Utis and I as fuck. There is no no empathy at all for that, especially in the
Starting point is 00:08:23 era of like Uber. It's like extra dumb. And the part two where after exactly like once you yeah, like in many cases, the person who's drunk is more limber. Yeah, you can survive falls from that you would die by tensing up. Yeah, when you're wasted. So the young family that you cross lanes into they're all paced. But you're fine. You're fine ish because you barely saw it happen. So your body didn't have a chance to tense up. Oh, fuck him. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's it's a it's a write off. That's one of those bits where like I can't like yeah, I can't look you in the face. I can't talk to I got your I can't. I don't know. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna repeat something that I said long ago that I'm going to assume is going to make a bunch of people mad at me again. But
Starting point is 00:09:17 I really like the jackass crew. I think a lot of them seem to be really funny and nice guys. And I really, really liked Ryan Dunn right up until the day he died because he died in a drunk driving crash that he caused and killed his buddy in the passenger seat as well because he wanted to go fast and get drunk. So fuck him. He's a murderer. Yeah, that's that's just it's like the absolute wanton abandon for like other people's safety is just a fucking garbage. I can't it pisses me off a lot. Hey, so fine. So I'm so we're taking a hard stance against the kids driving don't yeah, don't be a drunk driver. Yeah, don't be a murderer. Hey, yeah, but it because it and it's just one of because you know it's basically a hot take
Starting point is 00:10:10 right there. It is but it's it's you're hitting the random select button on murder. Yeah. Is all is all is what you're doing, you know, like that's why am I going to land on Scorpion? Woo. And then land on multiple fatalities on the sidewalk. Yeah. Yeah. So I had no idea that she did that. That's crazy. I knew she had gone to jail, but I assumed it was like, you know, whatever. Yeah. And you hear to like a lot of the podcasts and comedians and stuff that I listen to, there's always like somebody that's definitely like, yeah, okay, so I'm sober now and I'm not proud to admit it, but I've got that story of just like, I'm gonna make it home. It'll be fine. And I did and everything was okay. And you're just like, oh, I just it's one of those
Starting point is 00:10:59 things you fucking wear it went for it. It's like, not only is that story crappy. It's somewhat unethical to even tell that story because it can cause the situation of like, well, so and so was able to drive home drunk and they're an idiot. I'm obviously much better driver than them. I remember hearing one where it's like the story was like, I tell it was basically man, you never like it's the worst thing in the world, but you never feel more relief than when you pull in safe and sound. That is and the worst thing you ever say. Unbelievable garbage. Unbelievable garbage thing to say. Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty that's like saying like, nothing makes you feel like a big man than that more than beating your kids because they're so
Starting point is 00:11:51 small. Like and it's and that was isolated. Come on. Unlike unlike a lot of things out there. I feel like there is no like there isn't a group. There's we grew up with an aggressive campaign. I feel like everybody was aware of how hard they pushed don't fucking drink and drive. That's right. Because it's such a real thing. Yeah. It's not like there's no girl I knew in high school got her fucking head chopped off in a car accident drunk drivers. Yeah. You know, and like like the closest thing I've ever seen to any like anyone in disagreement with that was a crazy nonsense screenshot off of a DUI subreddit where somebody was like, that is just a scam to make police bucks. Every, you know what I mean? They're just out there trying
Starting point is 00:12:43 to. No, no, no. There are so many real scams to make police bucks. Oh, yeah. That fucking you remember the fucking Tim Hortons near where I used to live that there was a car dealership behind that and the cop would always just fucking sit there and he would wait for people to run that intersection or if you cross if you avoid a red light by going into like a parking lot and then doing a diagonal that also counts as running a red light fucking all day every day. Okay. Fucking racking up tickets. So I'm going to close off the there's I have an amazing one on that. So yeah, there's a million actual like things you can go look at besides the one that saves lives. Like you're just an insane but like whatever you're on a reddit that implies
Starting point is 00:13:34 that you did this to begin with. Yeah. And you're doing whatever you can to feel better about. All right, I'm on this. Your garbage decisions, you know, so whatever. But to come off of that, you want to talk about like actual scams, right? There was this wild thing that was on there's a story that was on today I learned and it was about this dude that I want to say it was Jersey pretty sure it was because this guy was he had that attitude about him right and what he did was he made the he basically would walk around town and he noticed that when they put in the cameras at the red lights like to like, you know, catch anybody going by. Did I tell this already? No. Oh, I don't remember it. Okay. I told it on a stream. I feel like I did. But
Starting point is 00:14:25 somewhere somewhere in in New York or Jersey, this guy would go and he would disconnect the cameras straight up. You just straight up just to pull them out. Yeah. Right. And be like, fuck that camera. No. Right. And then he would grab a stick and he pointed the wrong way. Okay, good. And then like he and then he made videos showing is like here people. This is how you do it. This is how you turn the camera in the wrong direction. If you want to fucking, you know, give us show these people what's up, right? And so obviously cops are like, what the fuck are you doing? Don't do that. It's not okay, right? And he gets pulled in and gets in trouble for that shit. And vandalism of sitting property, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
Starting point is 00:15:07 but he then goes on to go. Yeah. So obviously nobody likes this stupid thing that happens, but here's the, but the reason why I did this is because the cameras that you installed in the city were installed by this company that this, this private company that you hired to do this shit. And they would basically put it on with a new type of stoplight and the stoplight that had the camera on it. Every stoplight in the city gives you five seconds of yellow before switching. The fucking camera ones that were installed by that company gave you three seconds of yellow before switching to red. So they specifically would have anyone who knows the timing in their head as they're driving, would try to make it through any normal light, would get fucked as
Starting point is 00:15:50 soon as they're unable to see the color, but they pass underneath it as it's red, takes the screenshot, doesn't give a fuck about you, bills you for that shit. Who cares about the scam element of that? That's super dangerous. Completely insane. Because there are morons that peel out the instant. They don't even need, oh man, the morons that peel out, not even when their own light turns green, but when the other light turns red. So, so motherfucker does the fucking math, like shows the countdown on it, you know, and basically becomes this hero because it doesn't, because every time he gets in trouble, he goes back to doing it. And like, at one point, I want to say like, I think the sheriff of one of the counties was like on his side or something like that.
Starting point is 00:16:39 And then basically ended up being a dude that was running for a representative of his area. And then like went to city council meetings and basically was trying to fight this whole thing back because he was proving that, no, it's not about you trying to put these cameras in to catch people. It's about the fact that you're literally stealing money from people by changing the amount of time they have on a yellow. I've got one for you. This fucking crazy. I've got one for you. And of course, he went to every meeting for a couple of years and couldn't get anything to change, you know, but like he has some great videos of him walking around the street just going, ah, fuck these stupid things. And he's like, you just get a ladder, you get a broom,
Starting point is 00:17:19 bam, problem solved. Let's test to see who listened to all of last week's podcast intently. You know, we should do no traffic laws. Okay. Just no law in the street. All right. Drive your car, whatever happens, happens. Got it. I mean, we can always go back to the, the, the pre invention of the yellow light where you just hit that seems bad red and to green. That, going just red, green seems genuinely worse than the times when the lights turn off and everyone just treats them as four way stops. Yeah. Like everyone pushes a Washington, Washington Carver is like, yo, the black inventor, he's got all that peanut stuff going on. And it's just like, man, you need to big up the black inventor that fucking made yellow lights because people were
Starting point is 00:18:18 just turning to paste on the regular, even back when cars were slow and shitty because they were slow and shitty and had no safety implementation at all and no seat belts either. Yeah. Yeah. So, but yeah, that, that, that's a fucking scam and a half with that one. And it is one of those bits where you're just like, Oh, you're actually fighting the good fight. Yeah. It's not, you know, in what seems like, and so there's, and I want to say like in looking this up, I kind of went down a, not a rabbit hole, but I just kind of looked at some like other articles that were related and people kind of talked about how, um, like what, like cities that do have these cameras end up with way more fender benders because, uh, like people that would have the normal
Starting point is 00:19:09 presence of mind to like travel with traffic and have the alertness instead, they catch the yellow and instead of taking it when you know you have the time, they just jam on the brakes and whoever is behind them just fucking, yeah, bup, bup, bup, bup, bup, you know, so all these little moments where well, luckily enough, when someone hits you in your car, no matter how much of an asshole you are, you're still technically legally in the right. Yeah. Which is one of those fun things about car law. Wait, when someone hits you in your car, no, if both car, if you're, if you are moving at more than anything than a full stop, you are partially responsible. The car that touches you is fully responsible for anything. You, I'm pretty sure you can fucking jam on your fucking brakes and
Starting point is 00:19:52 somebody can hit you and it's their fault. I'm pretty sure they should have been two car lengths behind and all that stupid shit. You know what? I'm someone who doesn't drive. I can't, yeah, somebody who also doesn't drive, claim authority on this, but I've been told my entire life that insurance cares about if you are moving or not moving. If you are moving, you are somewhat responsible. If you are not moving, then you can, then it's all their fault. As a pretend car lawyer, I'd like to say that. What is a real car lawyer? Real car lawyer is an ambulance chaser. Okay, well, sure. As a pretend car lawyer, yeah, I learned in pretend car law school, okay, that if somebody hits you, it's always their fault, no matter what a jackass you are.
Starting point is 00:20:44 That's what I heard somewhere sometime back in car law school. And the only time we'd be talking about fault is based on insurance, right? Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I'm, or like if somebody gets really fucked up, then criminal negligence or whatever. Maybe it depends on the state and or country. Yeah, probably maybe Canada and America are different. And then it'd be per province, per state, perhaps. Oh, I like that. I like what you did there. It wasn't intentional. What was it? I said per province, per state, and then you went per apps and I'm like, ah, yeah, there you go. Alliteration. Come on, man. I like alliterations. I hated them when I was a kid, but now I adore them. I recently learned that there's a thing in
Starting point is 00:21:27 the English language that makes it so that I forgot what the name of it is. But anytime you're doing a type of term that has like the same sound, let's say, for example, zigzag, the English language is unique in that you always have to have the I sound before the A sound or the or an O sound. Well, that would be a little rude. Yeah. And it sounds incorrect to go the other way. So every time we have a version of that, whether it's zigzag, zigzag sounds terrible. And you know right away. But tick tock. Yeah. Nick, Nick, Nick, yeah, right. The I sound will always be the first one except we're going to the other except for the part where English is a stupid fucking language and every single rule that English ever has has exceptions to that rule because fuck it. Of course.
Starting point is 00:22:20 But but chit chat, dig dug. Yeah. Oh, dig dug. Yeah. There you as you slide down the alphabet, it always goes up to that. It always goes up to I first. And it sounds incorrect to your ear if you hear it the other way. It's pretty interesting. You remember learning in school I before E except after C and then running into like immediately exceptions. Immediately. Fuck that. And it's like that rule is worthless. Fuck that fucking completely useless. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Fucking school teacher. Yeah. Go for a Kit Kat. You know what that makes me think of and this is real off tangent. You know, fucking Americans only get two Reese's Cups. We get two Reese's Cups. No, we can three minutes. No, no, we get so. OK, we recently as as I happen to be
Starting point is 00:23:12 cohabitating with a Reese's Connoisseur slash addict. Got it. Got it. Yes. There will be there will be Reese Cup like crushed things found in random hidden places and pockets throughout the house at times. I understand this feeling. And there's a question as to whether they are devoured or inhaled. Yeah. At points in time. There are definitely there are definitely. What? Focus fully focus. All right. I heard a noise over there. No, OK, it's not nothing. It's all right. It's quite there are Reese's Cups that there's the regular packs. We get that come with the three Americans. They have the two, but we have the twos as well. We have the twos as well. We have the twos as well. And we have the two jumbo.
Starting point is 00:24:04 Oh, that's weird. So the two jumbos are like the double sized extra big ones. And in fact, I haven't seen anything besides a jumbo sized one in a very long time. I don't even know if they make the regular sizes anymore. They do. OK, well, they do make they do make those, you know, you'd be a based know how many places Reese's Cup rappers can be found. Really? You're talking to a man who has two photos of him eating candy in a closet. I'm talking to someone who needs to be reminded on every single occasion to not just drop the reason rappers on the ground wherever you are after you can. I don't eat reasons anymore. So that solves that problem. That does solve that problem. And I try and get them in the bag,
Starting point is 00:24:54 but you're just in such a frenzy. I can't say I relate. I've no you're not. You don't really seem to have a sweet tooth. I actually do like some sweet things. Well, dude, dude, do you not remember college? Do you not remember Cadbury Cream Eggs? I do. But like I define a sweet tooth as being like a sugar addiction problem. I had just like oh, I enjoy my sweets. Hmm. Yeah. I was able. I was able to it's been a while now without sugar. So I've been able to cut them out pretty, pretty decently. But I've never experienced what I can consider a frenzy to open and consume the sugar. But I did need my daily crab pat Cadbury Cream Egg. And that doesn't that's not good for you. No, that's not a good as you say daily Cadbury Cream Egg. Yeah, even I think that's crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:51 There was there was a point of period in my life where I would I would leave Dawson and walk right to that depth that was facing Dawson was right there and grab a Cadbury Cream Egg. And that thing was probably that thing's probably bumping with money. And then I'd turn the corner because you'd have the Dalarama right around the side. Oh, yeah. And I'd see because sometimes they would have the bundle of three. Oh, man. So I'd like a dollar. Yeah. Yeah. So I'd get my one. And then I peeped to see if the bundles were there. And it was good. Oh, man. It was a good time. It was a good time. And then I remember my friend challenged me. He's like, yo, but have you had one of the Laura Secord's or Seacord makes fucking they made cream eggs, too. Oh, wow. They were three
Starting point is 00:26:39 times the size of a regular one. That's horrible. They would sell them half is half egg because the whole leg would be too much. Yeah. How could you even put it in your mouth? And the cream inside was three times as dense. I don't like this. You couldn't know it was awful. You know what, you know, I don't know. The last time you had like a McDonald's milkshake was like 20 years ago. Yeah. But do you remember how like it was like sometimes you'd get the thickness that you can even sip through the straw? Yeah. Yeah. It was kind of like that where you're you're biting into that cream and there's no liquid to it. It's hard cream. It's not hard. Okay. It's soft. Okay. But it doesn't there's no poor idea. I hate this. You know, I legitimately hate this. Can we go back to
Starting point is 00:27:23 the vomit talk? You don't like you don't like no, you don't like Edward cream eggs. I don't I don't care for Edward cream eggs. I have a terrible sense of smell. But the main thing is that the number one thing to turn me off of food is texture. And the textures that you're describing seem awful. Do you like caramel? Yeah, caramel. It's the same as that. It's white. It's different. Well, I meant the yellow part. Oh, yeah. I've never made it to the yellow part. I have to the white part. The cream is so good. That's weird. Okay. Well, anyway, texture man. Also OCD. So I white food is different from cold food. Yeah. I definitely like I've had this the discussion of texture versus tastes quite a bit since punch mom is also all about texture. But I
Starting point is 00:28:13 I always I texture matters to me. But like, it's like a 6535 thing, you know, maybe maybe 7030. So you say that until you find something with a texture that you just really, really abhor. And then you're going to be like, Oh, no. Yeah, you know what, I get it like because it is true. Sometimes the texture can be absolutely awful. What was I what was it? There was something terribly slimy that tastes all right. But it's the slime. I mean, I've talked about the those Caribbean fruits that you've never you've never experienced skinnip or guinea, you know, where you crack it open green. It's a green little like small. It looks like a smitty lemon or yeah, I've seen those I've never had one.
Starting point is 00:29:06 And you crack it open and you get a perfect spherical seed surrounded by your flammiest loogie in texture. Well, you know what, I'm just gonna I'm gonna go ahead and stop you right there. But a wonderful taste. We are going to kill this podcast if we keep starting up like this. You're correct. But it is the most accurate way to describe the fruit. Right. It is the most accurate way to describe it. Leachies have another kind of texture that's like not wonderful. But I can deal with it because the taste is really nice. Particularly in terms of but I've never had a leachie that hasn't been like soaked in like a martini. Yeah, you know, for me, the one that kind of bombs me out because I do enjoy the taste
Starting point is 00:29:59 and it's very popular squid texture kills me. Yeah, squid texture is not great. It's because I need it needs two full extra chews than it should. It's annoying. There's nothing going on with it. It's not even that it bothers me because it's not bad. It's just it's just hard. Yeah, it just takes work. Yeah, that's you know, like any octopus instead octopus tastes a little richer and is just chewy like a better chew. Oh, so there's a place that makes a really nice taco wasabi. It's like octopus with wasabi and it's spicy as fuck. It sounds great. But it is slime. Oh, man, I don't know. Hey, the texture is awful. Hey, you know what? I don't think food should be categorized as slimy. No, I don't think that's a high quality aspiration for food.
Starting point is 00:30:53 No, never good. No, never have. Crunches are nice. Crunch is good. A good chew. Yep. A good, a good, a good duang chew. But it's the chew has to give away. Yeah, if the chew doesn't give, I fucking start to hate it. It's a thing you make in your mouth when you eat food. Mastication. No, no, no, the thing you make, it's the thing food turns into. I'm not sure. But but you know, you know those like little little toffee slash little caramel cubes. Yeah, you put those in, you got to chew them for a minute and like the first couple bites hurt your teeth. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, I don't like those things. I don't like those things because like they taste really nice. But the bolus I've never heard of that bolus and chime.
Starting point is 00:31:48 What's that? So bolus is what's known as okay, you know, when you're chewing on food, you're mixing it with your spit and it becomes like a paste. Like all food eventually becomes a paste if you chew it enough. Yes. And if you kind of spit it out onto your plate, almost any food would look very minus color. Just telling me that we need it to stop. Yeah, I know. But now you asked me a question. Now I have to answer. Why'd you think about this? I just happen to be thinking about it. Does it have anything to do with taste? Did you have a point? Anyway, that stuff's called bolus. Did you have a point? And chimes was called when it's in your stomach. Okay, well, like I was literally trying to go back to something nice such as good flavors and tastes
Starting point is 00:32:35 and textures. And then you just brought it back to fucking baby bird food. I haven't had a starburst in like five years. Starbursts are also of the tooth hurting texture until you soften them up. I hate jawbreakers, man. I hate jawbreakers because I got no patience. That's pretty much it. That's what that's all it is. It's you just have to have the patience for it. Warheads are fantastic. I love warheads. Those things are great. I don't think I've had one. Really, it's just candy, but on the inside is that like is like the same. It's got that really like it's spicy, but it's not like red candy spicy. It's care for red candy spice. No, and it's not that. That's why I'm like red candy. That's just cinnamon. It's not good.
Starting point is 00:33:21 All right. I don't like red candy spicy either. Warhead spicy is like it's a super sour spice. It's really nice. It's quite pleasant. It's very different from red candy spice. Yeah, mouth feels important. It's important. No matter what you put in your mouth, it has to feel good in there. Jolly fucking ranchers represent the best tasting thing with the worst tooth texture feeling ever. When you get a piece of jolly rancher stuck and you're trying to fucking, you're trying to tongue it. Yeah, you know, I'm just thinking like every single time I've eaten if you bite it, a rack of ribs ever. I mean, this is kind of a jump from candy to meal. But every time I've had a rack of ribs ever, I it is a race to brush your teeth because it's like
Starting point is 00:34:14 one that's always stuck between your back is molar and the one tooth in front of it on one side. And it's like, I can't. There's no way your tongue's getting that out. You ever have a piece of oxtail? No, some curry goat. No, white boy. You never have some curry goat on peas? No. Because if you did, that's that's like, you need an army of floss. You need to pull out. Remember, remember, remember the Butler in Helsing? Yeah, you need to pull the floss out of your gloves like that and just immediately after the meal because that shit is so delicious and it gets in between every tooth. How does it? It's worth it. And James really high worth it every time. Oxtail so good. I had to teach.
Starting point is 00:35:10 I had to teach Reggie the other day because the idea was he not know. No, because he's Haitian. So he was like, oh, yeah, West Indian food. That's we can get some cool like jerk chicken. That's the good stuff, right? And I'm like, bitch, jerk chicken is tier three. That is third on the list of Caribbean food that you should be eating. Obviously. How could he not? How could he not know that? That's that. That's that. That's that fucking put it up on the billboard. Shit, Reggie. I can't believe. Yeah. No, second, second place. You got the curry goat and then power gap. Oxtail. A good piece of stew with the with the with the anyways gets in your fucking teeth. It does. It does. It does. Good. A good jerky will get in your teeth as well.
Starting point is 00:35:58 No, a good a good smoked jerky. Get right up in there. Things shouldn't get in your teeth. Yeah. I'm thinking of that weird powdery jerky I had in Michigan again. Powdery. Remember the puck? Oh, yeah. And it was like, you can eat this and it's it's the beef powder. And that if you would hail a little bit too hard, you might get some in your lungs. You shouldn't have that. That's obviously a bad idea. You got to give it a you got to give it to the factories that figure out a way to take the part of the food that's just garbage off the floor and turn it into more garbage, more product and sell it. Yeah. Right. Cut those donut holes out. Turn them into 10 bits. Yeah. Munchkins. Yeah, you're right. Speaking of donut holes. Hey.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Hey, that's a that's a good segue. What a fucking good movie. What a good movie knives out is knives out is such a good it's so good and you did get spoiled on something early on. And I was right that who cares doesn't matter doesn't matter. We are. Let's take let's let me put a timer on for knives out knives out spoiler cast. How much time do we need 10 minutes less than that less than that five minutes. I think seven let me let me I'm going to put a timer on for seven minutes. From the moment I say now and then when that beeper goes off, then we will stop the discussion about knives out. Yes. So let's see here 1234567 minutes and one second. There we go. Starting knives out spoiler cast mini starting right now seven minutes starting now. All right. So the
Starting point is 00:37:58 fact that the movie has no murder in it is by far the best part of the movie. It is really, really good. I like so here's the like that. I was give people a little buffer on that. Give him some buffer, dude. No, that's that's dickish. Don't be a dick. Don't be a fucking dick. All right. Now we got a couple seconds buffer out there. The best scene the best moment because it's too short to be considered a scene. The best moment in the entire movie. The 12 on 10 is in the middle of having this discussion about immigrants and how they can come to America and do it the right way, the legal way or the wrong way. Rich asshole man is gesturing with his hands and the most subtle thing as he waves. Gratina Marta Marta as he waves Marta over to go see Marta
Starting point is 00:39:03 is a perfect example. Her family came from insert different country every every single person got the country wrong, right? Insert country in every scene that's different. She came the right way in her family and did it and he's gesturing very animated with his hands and he's holding a cup with a fucking cake in it. I had a plate, a saucer with cake and hands her so subtly the plate as he's talking and she just holds it and doesn't know what to do because she's like, I'm a nurse. I don't I'm not the help what it's just no actually what's what's better. What's better than that because the whole movie is has the Marta like against the family because they're scum. The best moment is their four siblings, right? In that in that main family. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:39:52 she walks up to two of them who like her and they both go up to her. I'm so sorry. I wanted you to be at the funeral, but I got out voted. I wanted you there, but I got out. But wait, yes. Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. Totally. Totally. It's almost like you're a liar. Yeah. Of course, of course, exactly. You know, so you get all that amazing, just nice, self-contained original story. Although I didn't I walked in with no context, no trailer, no anything. Yeah. So I had no idea what it was or who was in it. Yeah, outside of that. Everyone's in it. Everyone's in it. And then it cuts to the credits and it goes, oh, written and directed by Ryan Johnson. I'm like, that's how this got
Starting point is 00:40:30 made. This is the kind of movie that he should be making. This is this is how this got made. He had the ability to call it all his friends. Yeah. Definitely like you all the clue vibes in the world. Oh, yeah, it's really intense. Super duper like fun with the twists and turns. And yeah, and one of the anti twists. One of the most amazing things about it being it's a who done it where they tell you who done it at the 30 minute mark. The answer is no one. Well, the answer is someone until it's no one, right? Yeah. But it's still but the point is that they tell you how it went down and then the movie continues and you just like, where are you going? Where could this possibly go? You know, and then the only thing left to do is introduce you to
Starting point is 00:41:14 everybody and see whether or not they pass the morality virtue test. Yeah, if you would. And you know, shout out to Captain America coming in and doing the anti cap. Yeah, I'm not Captain America. By the way, I'd like to confirm last week I said that what's his name the Daniel Daniel Bond man Daniel Craig did a okay accent. I went I then went home and spoke to Paige who used to live very close to Louisiana or Kentucky. Yeah, and she was like, what are you fucking talking about? That accent is terrible. It was not great. It was not great. Thinking about how for example, thinking about the weirdness of what Kevin Spacey sounded like in House of Cards and other versions of that, you could really hear him forcing his Brit down. You know, it wasn't wasn't 100%. But he
Starting point is 00:42:09 was having fun with it. Why was he he was having fun playing a Sherlock Holmes shout out to the shittiest car chase I've ever seen a movie really garbage car chase book ended by someone getting out of a car and saying that was that was the shittiest car chase I've ever seen really shitty car chase for no reason. And I like the fact to that like, I mean, of course, the camera is going to give you clues on things when it focuses in on them. It tells things tells a story by showing you an object. Yeah, but stories and details such as like the dogs barked at 3am. Yeah, we never found out about why if you kept on to that fact, then you were rewarded for noticing, you know, little bits like, like, okay, how come we didn't hear the the sound of the old man going back up
Starting point is 00:42:58 the stairs after he came down for his sandwich. Exactly. What's up with that? You noticed that you're rewarded, you know, so really great. And then the one other thing I want to give it massive credit for is what I'm going to call the reverse iron thrown. Yeah, what a cool chair, man. The chair that they interrogate everybody on in this who done it has all the night. It's like an iron thrown but all the knives are surrounding the head of the chair pointed inward. And they never frame the person sitting in the chair in a perfect way where it clearly like uses the share the way it's meant to be seen. They only have one moment where off to the side to the right of the screen, I was because I was paying attention to this. I'm like, what are they going to show it frames properly?
Starting point is 00:43:48 They first had it wrapped around, I think it was Fran the help. Yeah, they had it wrapped around her head on the right. But it isn't until Sherlock Holmes is in the parlor, yeah, explaining how it happened. Oh, there it is. Now it's coming into literally a church like mural glow is coming off the back of his head, while all the knives are illuminated, which also if you've been paying attention to the movie leads to my favorite mental thought process of how do I put this, you fucking figure something out one second after it's given to you based on an early line of dialogue, which is wouldn't know the difference between a real life and a stage and then the moment before the moment is even over. You're like that got it nailed it. Yep. Same thing for
Starting point is 00:44:36 the great grandma. Yeah, right. Where you're like, that's a bit that you're always going to expect to is just like, she's in she knows the deal. Yeah, grandma's cool. You know, all right, we got about 10 seconds on it. But fucking fantastic movie. It's star studded. And it is a original story, which you don't get these days that often. I liked even though this had the insurance of a famous director and a famous cast. It's a really fun romp and everybody everybody go everybody should see it. Go see knives out. You won't be disappointed. I should actually watch Clue because I haven't watched Clue is great. Yeah. Yeah, especially if you know the history behind Clue in that different theaters were shown different endings. And the fucking home release of Clue of Clue.
Starting point is 00:45:26 You can find you can watch this ending or that ending, or you can watch the quote unquote true ending to Clue where they all run in a sequence and then disprove each other and you find out who the real person was. That's great. So if you if you skipped forward seven minutes just now, in conclusion, go watch knives out. Yeah, good. Go watch knives out felt good to watch the movie. And in general, it just reinforces to me as well that, man, I really love the feeling of walking into something super cold. Yeah. And enjoying it. The last time I got that was, don't breathe, not don't breathe. The other sound movie. Oh, shut up. Be be quiet. Quiet place. Quiet place. There it is. That walked in with no trailer, no knowledge title and a recommendation and feels good feels
Starting point is 00:46:25 good to go in and know nothing. Not even the tone of what you're walking into. You're really excited for Star Wars is what you're saying. Hey, man, Star Wars will still get credit for creating not creating. That's not true. That's a lie. Why would I say that? Well, luckily, you didn't finish what you were saying. So now no one can know what the lie was. It's the they they used. And it was the first time I saw the words for what this was is what it is a tone trailer or tone teaser. Yeah, okay, where they specifically was called the tone teaser, where like, you're just going to get quotes out of context and shots out of context. And you're going to appreciate the cinematography in the music. Yeah. And I'm like, that is everything I want to get credit for having laser
Starting point is 00:47:07 swords. Laser swords are cool. Um, yeah, man, absolutely, absolutely fantastic. I'm so excited for Star Wars. I want it to be the worst movie ever so that I can just laugh. It's probably not going to be. It's probably going to be better than the last time those leaks that got disproven were so bad that I was getting super excited. And well, the story with the leaks coming off of Boyega, leaving the script under his bed. Oops. Like that actually happened like don't do that, man. But yeah, the the part of this whole narrative where, you know, it's it's going into Jay Brim's hands again and whatnot. It's like, if that means it's going to be done in the way that the Force Awakens was done, Force Awakens is better than TLJ. So it'll probably
Starting point is 00:48:04 probably be better than TLJ, but it has more to conclude on. It has a lot more like weight riding on it. You know, so I like I said that there's one part of that interview with what I said, like I do agree that when he was talking about like it takes balls to make a movie where you're going meta on the audience and saying the answer to these questions doesn't matter. Sure. I would say that that's the best part of the movie that will be assuredly undone. They're by being families. Well, there's there's so the well, there's multiple it doesn't matter. Yeah. And some and my and that's where I say some of them are good and some of them are bad. For example, the it doesn't matter who your parents are is good. Yeah, it doesn't matter who Snoke is
Starting point is 00:48:55 is bad. Those are both assuredly going to go away. Yeah. On Friday. Yeah, that's the problem. Like you can make you can make your subverting expectations movie all you want, but then the mouse goes no. No. Well, anyway, we can always watch the Mandalorian. I'm waiting for it to be done, but I'm excited. Yeah. I hear baby Yoda is very cute. I've seen some clips. Baby Yoda was built in the main factory. Baby Yoda was built and they hid all the products from production because toys always leak. What's what's going to happen? Yes, they do. And they hid everything about baby Yoda. And then I want to say like the second that episode aired, the factories just hit every lever and every Funko Pop and every T shirt. Pull out the ears. Big ears. And then all
Starting point is 00:49:51 these baby Yoda things just shot out of a cannon like they fucking they had the mold ready and waiting and silent in the dark. And then it turned into the factory from Attack of the Clones. Yeah. Like it was wild how fast they they shit that shit out. Anyway, what else you've been up to this week? So this week I checked out knives out. I also spent a good bit of time with the latest game from one Edmund McMillan, who you might recall familiar, but I'm not from Super Meat, boy. Oh, there. Yeah, brain. Yes. And Binding of Isaac fame. Yes. What's his new thing? His newest game is called Legend of Bumbo. Okay. Okay. Bumbo is the protagonist of this game. Same art style as same art style is. Oh boy, is it? Holy shit. As Isaac, except everything is made a cart made
Starting point is 00:50:52 out of cardboard. Now the reason why everything is made out of cardboard and the reason why choose your bumbo, the reason why it's made out of cardboard and the reason why your name is Bumbo is because Bumbo talks like this. Bumbo wants his coin. Got it. Bumbo lives in a box. Got it. Bumbo. Bumbo box coin. Got it. Bumbo is a homeless person. All right. Oh, you're Bumbo. You are Bumbo and Bumbo want coin. I see. Okay. So guess what? What? This is a game with Bumbo and you are interacting with snot poop. What? And coin get out all the time. I'm shocked. But so what it is, though, and this is the things like at first it took, it took like the first time I played it, I was like, what is going on? And then a few rounds later,
Starting point is 00:51:50 it clicked and then I beat like a boss and went, I see what you're doing here. Legend of Bumbo is a puzzle based deck building roguelike. Oh, wow. So it's like Slay the Spire by Ed McMillan. It is, yeah, that's a lot of things. That's a mouthful. That's a mouthful, right? And mouthful of Bumbo. But it's really fun. And clearly, he came up with a design that was like, oh, this, excuse me, has all the replayability of something like an Isaac game because you're getting this roguelike random stack of a deck of abilities that you're building every time you go out. Right. And the only difference is instead of like a, you know, a twin stick, you're looking
Starting point is 00:52:44 at a puzzle board, right? And the puzzle board is, I don't know, maybe 12 by three. Okay, that's really small, right? And then on top of the, so to the right of the screen, you have a list of your spells. You start off with one or two. On the bottom of the left side of the screen is that board I mentioned. And then up top is the enemies. Okay, the enemies are on a nine by nine, sorry, a three by three grid. And they basically move forward. And then they prime. And then they attack you, right? This guy sounds like Mega Man battle network. So there are, but there's turns. Okay, right? Whereas that was more active. And what you might call it, Isaac is all active as well, right? So in this case, it's all turn based. So we're like turn based, right? Turn based. Hey,
Starting point is 00:53:35 so basically you look at the little board and then you have shame myself. You have, you have, you have bones, snot, poop, and teeth. Okay. And P. Okay, you know, those are the five by our powers combined, we form Ed Big Millen. Yes. Right. And then you try to line up four in a row. All right, or more. And then when you line up for they turn into like, like an attack. So if you line up for bones, you throw a bone does damage, you line up for poops, you put down a poop like an Isaac poop, and it's a blocker. Okay. Or you line up a snot and you throw it and it stops the enemy from moving. All right. Yeah. And that's it, right? Sticky. So you and then if you line up more than that, then of course, you get stronger versions of those things. Yeah. And then each
Starting point is 00:54:27 time you you complete a chain, it erases and then of course, the next row drops down. So, you know, Tetris attack rules, you can combo. And then each of those things that you erase gives you mana for spells. Okay. Right. And spells are broader and spells like there might be one spell that costs three teeth, two bones. Okay. You know, and then that spell will be something really, yeah, much more. No, they're not broader aspects. They're broader range. Yeah, but they're all specific. All right. So they're all as specific as the abilities you get in Isaac. Right. So for example, one of them would be like, do all damage, do damage to every enemy once or a lot of them are going to be puzzle board based. So one spell will be erase a single block from the board and
Starting point is 00:55:17 then everything drops down above it. This sounds like a better use of this guy's particular talents because oh boy, you know, when you're about to say something, you just feel the world turn against you. It's like the best part about Isaac is it's incredible amount of variation and interaction between its different parts. But the worst part is actually physically fucking playing the game. The movements really stiff and the tears feel really weak. Well, when you compare it to other rogue likes, you don't have it's weird to say you don't have as good a movement ability, because you can get so many different kinds of movement abilities. But I know what you mean by when you start gun by default, you start Isaac. Yeah, it's a world of difference. Yeah, compared
Starting point is 00:56:10 to like a lot of other things I enter the gungeon, for example, or yes, as as far as good feeling default movement goes, right? It's not that. But in this case, you get the benefit of all that variability, play system that is I mean, it's cards with a turn based system. That's really fun. Everything looks like it's made out of cardboard and your looks like it's a stage play with each thing is like a character holding up made out of cardboard. Yeah, that sounds cool. Very fun. With that, the 3D use of that is a lot of fun in its art style. Paper Mario esque, right? And when you ever you get a spell or an item or an ability, right underneath it is the description of what it does. Okay. Huh, there was a mod somebody made long ago that dramatically improved
Starting point is 00:57:06 Isaac. Yeah, for that very reason. Gungeon had everything I was either obviously explained or the text would tell you. Man, you got you got like you played Hades. Yeah, you pick up a power and has a paragraph of text on what the fucking actually changes and then flavor text of like the lower implications. Oh, that that was easily the worst part about Isaac was just like, you pick it up and it would have like one line of dialogue that would be like obscure. It'd be like what to do. I don't know what to do. And if you want to play it with progress and not like no saving, then you can't have any mods running. Yeah, you got to have the default on which means pull up your phone and do the item recognizer, which is which is useless because there's 10
Starting point is 00:57:50 shit zillion items and hope you're good at spotting match. I'm not. I'm bad at it. So um, yeah, in this case, it's right there and I ran into one item. There was a metronome and it had a question mark description on it, but everything else tells you right there. This is exactly what this time. And when you pick up a new one, you can see what it does and figure out if you want to replace what you used to have. Fantastic. Really, really good. So, um, so at first you're just doing this little puzzle bits and you're like, okay, I do my turn and then they do their turn, but then it starts to become like, oh fuck, like five enemies are all primed to attack me. How do I manage the situation? How do I deal with this? Right? Use the shit. And, uh, what you
Starting point is 00:58:36 end up basically doing, it turns on all the, all like the reason why I'm like, it took a second, but once it clicked, I was like, this is a good game is that it turned, it uses the same juice that, uh, into the breach uses. Yeah. Right. Where the end of your turn has happened. Like you've used, let's say you have, uh, so the whole match thing, uh, what I didn't say is that let's say you start out your turn, you have two movements. So you can roll one row or column, uh, until you went out until you want it to stop. Yeah. And then you can do it again or and then, and then that'll be it. Okay. So you get pretty limited, very limited. If you don't already have three of a certain thing lined up, like you're going to have to waste a turn to get extra stuff created. Right?
Starting point is 00:59:22 Um, what you end up doing is creating a perfect combo system of like, okay, I lined up all these poops. Now they're gone. I use it on the field to put it a shield. So I block that left lane from attacking me. I don't have to worry about that. Right. All right. When I built those four, when I, when I, when the four poops got removed from the board, it allowed me to cast a spell which stuns a random enemy that's primed on the board. So now two of these five, I don't have to worry about. Now that, uh, that last movement I have, I can use to, uh, do another attack and then it'll give me just enough mana to do a spell that lets me, um, blow up a section of the board and make new tiles drop. And by doing that, I get another turn. It is fascinating to watch
Starting point is 01:00:23 your long term Tetris obsession then lead into, I mean, not directly, but you've been playing a bunch of tep and lightly, which is cards. And then you're describing bumbo to me and you're describing Tetris attack with tep and shit in it. And I'm like, oh, wonderful. This is totally your jam. Wonderful. Um, immediately, like it's, it's, unfortunately it's early, so it doesn't have the ability to like quit and resume a run right now. Is it doing the thing where it came out and it's like, it's like, Hey, we have one boss or is it early access? It's early, but it's definitely, it's not that because there's, you're unlocking. I've already unlocked four bumbos. Man, I'd like the name of this game's title because you just said you've
Starting point is 01:01:19 unlocked four bumbos and I just like close my eyes with a big smile because like that's just funny to hear. I've unlocked four bumbos and they're all different play styles. Yeah. What are the different bumbos? So one is bumbo the brave. He's got just an aggressive. He's got a balanced style. Yeah. You know, you've got an ability to move some tile to delete some tiles and to do a direct attack. He's got balanced health. Sure. Yeah. There's bumbo, the, the, the nimble who's got low life, right, but can move more times. Yeah. And every time you kill an enemy, you got to move back and that's expert bumbo right there. Right. Then there's, then there's bumbo, the weird. There's another one, but I think it's bumbo, the, the burly or bumbo, the fat. I don't
Starting point is 01:02:10 know. It was, it was like, whatever, fat bumbo and fat bumbo can do a bunch of shit, but he loses his mana every turn. Oh no. So you have to spend it if you got it and then build it back the next turn. Oh man, bumbo, you got to spend it. But he's got good abilities, right? I fucking love it. Bumble the stout. Bumble the stout. I love this. This is funny. So it really ends up being like a real fun, like the range of characters. And then of course in between stages, you do a bunch of those little like, here's those little, remember the little like corpse kids that would like. Oh, I do. Yeah. They'd hang around. You can play a game with drop your five cents in there or you can hit the wheel for more stats. Do you think that this, because Macmillan's in this
Starting point is 01:02:55 place where like Isaac is so legendary now in its genre that this game is guaranteed to be a success. I'm sure it's already a massive success. Well, the question I had going in was if you made binding of Isaac and you hit it off that hard, the next thing you put out, you're not going to put out something that hasn't been play tested. You're not going to put out trash suddenly. So that that within that first run, you know, and then when it finally clicked and it clicked, and I was like, this is going to this is big. This is so do you think you could see like the kind of like stupid ass support that Isaac got easily getting kicked into this easily. Let me ask you it has the framework for it. Where where'd you play this on my PC on your PC? What is
Starting point is 01:03:45 the likelihood slash portability of this onto a person's phone? All you need is a cursor. Okay, so good. Make phone. I want good phone games. Bumble on. Yeah, it's it's it would be very easy to do like it to get the whole game is mouse, right? Yeah, one button. You don't need anything because it's just choose what you want to do and choose what you want to rotate. And yeah, man, once you once those Tetris attack skills start to to like awaken where you're like, Oh, hold on a minute. Hold on. If I drop this row, and I make these four line up, then I'll make another row and then that'll make a combo. And then you get like bumbo cheering every time you do a combo. So bumbo combo go rah, I am so happy for you. But I am kind of bummed out because
Starting point is 01:04:42 like bumbo doubt that kind of grim sorry grid based puzzle thing. Like I love Tetris as much as anybody because Tetris is perfect. Yeah, but I'm not really all that good at Tetris. Okay. And anything more complex than basic Tetris. Yeah. It's just not going to happen to me. You liked luminous. I did. But I'm fucking trash at luminous. Hmm. I am really, really bad at this kind of thing. Okay. But so I could it's more that I appreciated luminous. But luminous Tetris attack and Tetris all have something very importantly different from what this game to has. Yeah, what's that? A time limit. True. But that's like into the breach. Bumbo, you can sit and stare at that screen as long as you want before you make your play.
Starting point is 01:05:37 But what you're forgetting is that Pat's brain does not have the ability to plan ahead. Yeah, you guys botched into the breach really hard, right? Yeah, you fucked that up super bad at that. Okay, okay. I love sitting there and doing the the the step work. I like doing the repetitive tasks so that I can become stronger on the fly and not have to play, you know, like it's yeah, no, I like sitting there and going, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. I can remove one time. My turn is over. Well, you were on the XCOM LP. Yeah, think about that. And Impatience plays a role. Think about that level of planning. Impatience plays a role, right? And there's a difference between being forced to make a move because of the clock ticking.
Starting point is 01:06:27 That is the video slash stream clock versus for your own personal fun. That's true. Right. But if I if there's when there's no time limit, like there was for me playing through Bumbo, I would sit there and just look at the board until I'm like, okay, I've got it. Like there was an ability that takes an entire row of like the 12 or whatever and flips it inverse. Right. And it doesn't cost you a move to do it. It just it's a spell that flips. So if you have anything lined up that might activate by inverting the row, then you can use that spell to keep your combo going. But you have to sit there and figure out what the inverted pattern of those 12 would look like in order to activate that spell to keep your play going. Thinking bad. It's so good. I love that.
Starting point is 01:07:21 That's so much fun to me. And then and then and then sorry, there's one other aspect that I'm just saying it's like it's it's fascinating listening to this because it's like I play almost everything by feel, which means that this is like the antithesis to what I usually do. Yeah. And seeing you get so animated. I'm like, how much are you thinking when you play in this? I'm spending when I see a point like if I don't see a threat on the board. Yeah. If I see no chance of me really having a hard go of the next turn, then I'll just play instinctively. Right. It's the same as into the breach. But when a threat appears, right, when the enemies go blown up a house, blown up two of your dudes, blown up the objective, you have three actions to make four
Starting point is 01:08:05 problems go away. Then I stop and go, All right, let's get that Chikamaru on, you know. And in this case, what makes that possible? Because remember how I talked about perfect information being so much fun? Yes. So the final layer of this is you have your spells, you've got the attacks. The prime means you can see the you can see which enemy is about to attack you. Right. Yeah. And then when the board has those those pieces, there's a fourth row of what's coming next. Okay, well, there it is. Okay, the inner breach comparison makes a lot more sense now. So now you can actually prep for things not yet above the board, dropping in to continue your combo. But I don't want to prep. I just want to punch. You just want to punch. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no, it's wonderful. It's
Starting point is 01:08:54 getting into Bumbo games. I mean, I'll take a look at it on the channel, certainly. It like, Edmund was kind enough to provide a code. If you were a if you were going to some form of animal, yeah, creature. Yeah, what would you pick? What's my first Sona? Yeah, I think it's making a Northern lion joke here. Just just tag along. Aesthetically, a lion would fit. Okay, when you can't that's taken. You can't do but I but I have the hair. It's too late. And he ironically is bald. Eastern Komodo dragon. There you go. Just is is Northern Lion a fucking play Bumbo? I probably was that dude's been streaming I think Isaac every day for like 11 d years. That number that many. This also makes me think that like, you know, as someone
Starting point is 01:09:48 who really likes I like this game, I like into the breach. I like games like this. I like tap in, as you mentioned. Um, I think that like, even though I bounced off of like those earlier fire emblems, I feel like like something like three houses, for example, like if I maybe if I just played it for myself, I would have wrapped my head around it in a way that didn't result in such a bad video. No, do this. Sit down to play fire emblem again, and play it for two hours completely by yourself. And then fucking text me every question that you have and or someone smarter than me at fire emblem. And then all the misconceptions will melt away and then start start creeping on your students because sure, I saw I saw people be like, I can't believe
Starting point is 01:10:46 we'll be called it student fucker 29 or whatever. That is such an accurate fucking description of that game. You are grooming your students and that's fine. They're hot, but it's come on people. Unless you're trying to fuck the Pope. Congratulations for winning your awards. But no, I definitely I'm thinking that as a possibility, considering that if this game, for example, those so those bumble, bumbling moments that I had in the beginning, 10 minutes or so, maybe 20, I don't know how long it was. If that was the video, yeah, this would be a very different conversation. It's funny because the click has to happen for me to be able to tell you about it in this way. And I guess if I'm trying to figure that out, as we're going
Starting point is 01:11:39 on first boot, it's not going to be so I think I think I mentioned it way back. Yeah, but I'll say it again. Fire emblem three houses did not by the way, I still have yet to beat it. I keep, you know, other stuff keeps getting in the way and I never got that far. So the DLC is all going to be out relatively since I'll just pick someone told me they spent 60 hours on like each play through it. Yeah, no, it's yeah. So I can confirm and there's four. Yeah, four, not three. But the click for me didn't happen until three, four hours in and then I restarted. Okay, because I realized, Oh, I just did everything wrong that could have been done wrong. And what's lovely about a roguelike is you don't worry, you know, you start anyway,
Starting point is 01:12:29 you're going to be restarting restarting restarting is the name of the game. No, whereas here you're saving and moving forward with your fuck ups. Yeah, and you're like, Oh, man. Yeah, yeah, should have rolled I should have rolled fan by left so that fucking what's his name? Sylvain would join up desperate to fuck you. I really do also like that in this into the breach, etc. I like that like failure is expected. And thus, like, you're going to have to do a fresh run, you want to do runs. This game is about runs, right? Feeling that it's about runs makes it feel like a fuck up is not a cascading. Yeah, it's like stick with you for 60 hours, low pressure. Yeah. Yeah. Whereas definitely fire emblem, those fuck ups are going to stick
Starting point is 01:13:15 with you. Yeah. You know, now, though, not necessarily, there's there's a million catch up mechanics integrated in those right? What's that? So if you're on permadeath, if you're on permadeath, yeah, I mean, yeah, that's what you don't play with permadeath on. And then all the all the all the people go, Yeah, you're like, shut up. Yeah. No, the rogue like aspect of it where it's like, no, man, you're going to die. It's cool. It's cool, man. Right. And you're going to learn and then you're going to come back and nothing matters until you win the run. Yep. But that run, like no matter how far you got, it all restarts. And like this little you make this permanent progress points. I was about to ask there's permanent progress points. But you definitely
Starting point is 01:13:56 like you're learning and you're getting that personal XP out of the situation. So there's a there's a distinction that's that's made among some gaming academic circles about the difference between a rogue like and a rogue light. And I'm curious as to both your opinion on that concept in general and also what which one of these this is. So rogue light and like are determined basically on did you play a rogue legacy? Yes. So rogue legacy is the perfect example of a rogue light. Because as you progress through the game, your character is just right up getting stronger. Like Hades the same way, like you're getting more health every descendants every run is an improvement. Yeah, so you are expected to be able to grow and then you'll be able to do the
Starting point is 01:14:50 perfect run. A rogue like typically doesn't do that. Instead, like Isaac, the unlocks are just going to be here's another item in the pool. Here's another item in the random generator. Yeah, here's another enemy type in the random generator. Where does this like fit on there? This 100% fits into the rogue. The light was the former like was the latter like is the pure one that you don't gain any permanent buffs like yeah. Yeah. Are you unlocking new types of spells that will go into the total pool? The only permanent changes are the different bumbles you unlock by completing the previous bumbles run. Okay. Right. So the first bumble you beat the first stage and boss you unlock the second second bumble has to be two stages that makes
Starting point is 01:15:36 sense. And then you unlock the third I imagine over time they will add like the equivalent of whatever you know greed and the items and perhaps maybe there'll be a character that'll allow different wacky variants of that gameplay. But so far every time you start you're starting from scratch with the same two basic abilities and you have to make the right you should check out slay the spire slay of the spire slay the spire slay the spire it is very similar to this but it is a much pure deck building game it is it is straight up climb the tower get cards beat card enemies. Okay. It sounds like any based it is I mean I never really got into it but everybody tells me it's stellar turn based. Oh yeah. Perfect information. Yep. I like you'll probably you'll
Starting point is 01:16:33 probably dig it. I like that. I like it. And it's been out for a bit and it's had a lot of updates kind of you know building up it's all shit. Yeah. I mean shit man like I don't know what it is. It's funny because you love darkest dungeon as well and darkest dungeon does kind of fit into this mold to a degree it's it's characters not cards. Yeah. But darkest dungeon has fucking like the most imperfect information conceivable and super permadeath. Yeah. But darkest dungeon carries its weight so far with its theme and aesthetic. Yeah it sure does. Right. Man if that gate I hate that game I fuck like I have tried to play darkest dungeon like five times and I've come to the conclusion that I fucking hate it but it's so cool. It's it's so cool. It is
Starting point is 01:17:24 like incomparable in how cool it is with the narrator. And that that that'll that'll go a long way. But no but I love that too. I love that. I learned to love that too. You know like the the the perfect the feeling of making the perfect play with the exact amount of resources you have given the the information in like let's say into the breach. Right. Yeah. And the breach is going to be the gold standard for a long time. The equivalent of that is the moment of like your character is tested and they prevail and your emotions run high. They run high. You know. And then your and then your your your character is rallying the rest of the depressed troops and bolstering them and you're like come on we can survive. Like it's so good.
Starting point is 01:18:14 The whole perfect information thing as well. Like I was just going to talk about like how much I like that and how even even in games where it's like pseudo applicable like transistor you know you can you where you plot your because you know the enemies you know what they do and then you plot your movement in this kind of like stopped time line you know. Oh I mean by that fucking metric super hot would be one of those as well in but sort of sort of but it's not the same thing. Yeah you know what I just want to point out. I just want to take a second you know super hot is fucking super hot. That game is incredible wasn't there. Did they make a spin off VR version is a different game. Okay. Was it like a super hot go or something
Starting point is 01:19:00 like that. I don't remember but if there is I'd like to know about it. I feel like I remember seeing an announcement for a spin off super hot thing. I'm not sure. Maybe I'm just crazy. Anyway so that's all that's a whole lot of fun. Legend of Bumbo. And this is nice for a game to come out. You're like this is exactly what I want to. Yeah took a second to figure it out to figure out that that it's what I wanted. But in terms of like its ability to move forward and build on top of it in the way Isaac is like you said 100 percent there. And you're going to anyone like when you boot it up you're going to be greeted with a very nice and familiar light motif. Oh yeah yeah that title screen is a nice
Starting point is 01:19:47 little like almost like baby cradle music going and you just hit that la la la la la la la la and like ah there it is. Why does he keep choosing this weird fuck aesthetic. Also if the last game was a commentary on your over crazy religious mom and your childhood what the fuck is the hobo in the backyard supposed to be a commentary for. Yeah Jim we don't have any bumbos. I don't know. I don't know. Anyway funny that we mentioned three houses because as much as that scenario that we described would be interesting for me to go and see what it would be like to take a crack at seeing if I can learn it proper off camera. I ironically had to delete that game off my switch this week to install Mario and Sonic at the Olympics. What?
Starting point is 01:20:50 Because we played Mario and Sonic at the Olympics. Who's faster? Yeah we can finally find out. Fuck. We can finally find out. Fuck it. So I took a look at that so there was a salt party stream on the weekend and oh that's what that clip is from. Which clip? The clip where you take advantage of a friend's disability for a win. Oh I'm sorry did you enter into a competition without the ability to discern between green and red or is there is there some way in that discerning between green and red will lead to a strategic advantage on the battlefield? Come correct motherfucker or don't come at all. I'm just like I said this will definitely this will definitely never come back on you in any way. God started the color blind combo.
Starting point is 01:21:58 I just jumped in with the assist. I just jumped in and did the doom rockets. Oh man. God was already comboing the shit out of min with his color blindness. It ain't my fault. It's just the bit where he's like I can't tell which ones are red or green and you just go they're all green and it's just like Jesus Christ Woolly. Did I not tell you the story of the friend I had earlier in elementary where we were playing Mario Kart and he's like what color is my shell? What color is my shell? It's red. So you have a long standing history of taking advantage of the color blind. I can't believe it. I would never believe such a thing. Hey man those games did not have color blind options and I don't know why. In fact they should. I am merely advocating for the
Starting point is 01:22:54 inclusion of color blind options in every game in the way that Apex does. Your way is like hey look this clip will get really popular and then somebody can send it to Nintendo and Nintendo will be like oh we gotta really gotta do something about this. What do you want me to tell you? Until they do something about it this is activism. We have to make sure that the problem is like that is ironically enough a thing that some game communities have done to show off like hey the balance on this gun is fucked. How do we make sure the developers know? By busting it up. Just every single fucking game with this gun. Yeah no like so we came to the conclusion that Min has a garbage sharon gun which when activated reduces his ability to discern between colors
Starting point is 01:23:43 and you know. Well red green is really common. Yeah that's the big one. Overall yeah. And it turns out those colors tend to be used in puzzle games a lot. A lot. So yeah Mario and Sonic at the Olympics. Is it a good game? I didn't even realize how many there were. Turns out this is like the third one because they made one for pretty much every Olympics. Does anyone give a fuck about the Olympics? No but Street Fighter V is coming to the Olympics. Is it? In a weird roundabout non-official way but sort of official because the Olympics is like dipping their toe into esports. I'd like to see. So they've decided to like get in a couple video games. Once Baker gonna get a goddamn gold medal. That's the question right and the answer might be in not next Olympics but
Starting point is 01:24:29 maybe the ones after that because they're dipping their toe into video games and they're bringing in Street Fighter V. I think Rocket League and something else. It would be League. Right and their whole thing has been like man violence no good though and then they saw those esports monies. Violence no good for the fucking summer Olympics has wrestling boxing and fencing. Now now. Now now. Stop with all that. Get out of here with those. We don't want to hear that shit. Violence bad. Video games no good. So for the longest while that was where I was what was up. Fucking sword. And then I want to say somebody just looked at those numbers and they saw that they saw the twitch and the same people that are on the Olympic Commission that is infamous for bribery
Starting point is 01:25:22 and shenanigans and rolling into a city and fucking it up and rolling out and more bribery. Went. How about this esports. Hey I don't give a shit about the Olympics and I barely watch esports even about games I really like. But you're still paying for the Olympics just choices aren't you. I will definitely fucking watch like my country's fucking Street Fighter team. We're paying for the roof on the Olympic Stadium in Montreal that happened. No we paid it off. Is it done. We paid it off like four or five years ago. But it broke and they had to replace it. Yeah well fine but I mean the debt on it got paid off but the tax had to go towards the new roof. Yeah. We got we didn't get it as bad as a lot of other places. We did not. We I mean the fucking
Starting point is 01:26:09 stadium is usable for things. Yes. However the Olympics is fucking corrupted. Oh it's a scam. So they're like you want to talk about scams from the police. Let me tell you bought two Olympics. So now they're dipping their their pies their fingers in all the pies. No fuck it. They're dipping the pie. They're dipping their pies into these countries and ruining them. But in any case Street Fighter is being elected to be a part of this like Olympic sponsored event. Yeah. Type of thing and then we can see where this little event goes and if it picks up steam and if there's enough interest maybe video games in the summer Olympics who knows. I want to see yipes commentate the Olympics on ESPN a beautiful timeline. It would be a beautiful timeline
Starting point is 01:27:04 alongside other athletes getting super mad super mad that their sport that they train so regularously for that. I'll be very blunt. No one gives a fuck about. Hey man triple jump is awesome. Fucks up your legs real bad but it's a very cool stuff. Does it fuck your legs up. Yeah. Bad on the joints. Yeah. Hey check out the diving. Javelin is cool. Sure. I told Reggie he has a shot putters. Javelin hasn't been relevant as a fucking sport. Like the only the only reason a lot of the sports that are in the Olympics have maintained as things that people do is because they're in the Olympics. So here's the funny thing. You've heard about the Olympic Village. I have heard about the Olympic Village. You heard about what goes on at the Olympic Village. I have heard
Starting point is 01:28:00 about what goes on the Olympic Village. Young athletic bodies. Oh no. Girating. Oh that's why all over each other for the entire duration. They need to make two Olympic Villages. Do they. Well yeah they do. Get the gamers on this. No that's where that's not what you see over there. No no no. So all these perfectly towed. Oh man. Athletic bodies. Girating on each other. And then in comes the fucking game. Sports in the eSports pose with their hands crossed filing in one by one into the village. They are absolutely going to segregate these populations. Fuck no. It's going right in the middle. It's going to be great. It's going to be great. Did you see that. This will ruin every Olympic key party that exists. Did you see that skit with
Starting point is 01:28:49 Chance the Rapper on SNL. He plays a commentator at an eSports event and the guy who wins is kind of like a faker type of thing. This Asian kid is just like hey. And then like cute fangirl comes up and goes oh my god. Can we go hang out backstage. And he's like sure. And he's like can my friends come too. And he's like whatever. And he walks away. And she's like oh my god. And then like a stream of like eight girls runs by. And Chance is just holding the mic like what the fuck just happened. It's kind of like that. Who was it. Was it Momichi. Momichi. Momichi. That's the young eSports man who had that photo of him like skulking in the corner with the hot cosplay ladies in the front of the camera taking selfies. No I don't. Was
Starting point is 01:29:37 that Momichi. I don't think it was Momichi. It was Momichi. But you know the photo I'm talking about right. With the two models. Yeah it was Futo. If I'm not mistaken Reggie told me that he's going out with one of them. Oh yeah he's going out with one of them forever because they got married. Yes right. Exactly. Yeah it's like good good job buddy. Yeah nailed it. Fucking meme dreams. Great. Right there. Right. Totally. So that Olympic village party is getting crashed real hard by motherfuckers with big old hoodies. Big old dream hack hoodies. And and sports. Okay eSports. I have now I am I'm fucking turning my whole life around. My whole life is going to get turned around right this second because I have a dream and that dream
Starting point is 01:30:33 is that Smash Brothers Melee become an Olympic sport. I support this dream. I'm here for it. I need to see the fucking sign on the Olympic village that says please wash your ass. And here's the thing. Not pointing out any sports in particular. And here's the thing right. If Mario and Sonic are already in an Olympic sanctioned game. That's right. We're one step away. We don't even have to play Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games at the Olympic Games. Why not smash. Why not. Why not. It's right there. So anyway booted that game up. Didn't didn't know because I never touched any of the others but I do. I did like the the trailer where they're like yo we got these 1964 8 bit games as well. Yeah so there's like that's cool. That's
Starting point is 01:31:32 some old school like in Nintendo. Ness Mario one sprites versus Sonic two sprites kind of thing. And the thing about the Olympics is as you imagine it's track and field with Mario and Sonic characters. Yeah that's it right. Some of the games are fine. Some of the games are not as good as others. There's some clear winners and losers. Yeah right. There also happened to be a karate mode. Cool. I remember karate back in the day on track and field to track and field was my mom's favorite game. I remember like we actually she actually learned how to play it. It was pretty wild. And we got to learn about like you know whatever the ins and outs of button mashing. Sure. Back on that game and in Mario and Sonic there's a bunch of button mashing games
Starting point is 01:32:21 but then they throw in like badminton which is basically going to be like Mario tennis except you don't really get to control your character that well. It's like little great decisions there but they have karate and karate is fucking legit. Really. Because you get the control breakdown so you have the full cast of you know all these Sonic characters that you recognize up to Blaze for example. All right. And then all the Mario characters you'd want including Daisy. Got it. Everyone less obscure than that is there. And then you go. All right. These characters are on the fucking mat. Here we go. What are they. What is this game like. You've got you've got a punch. You got to kick right. Punch is fast. Kick is more ranged. You've got a block that you can advance
Starting point is 01:33:10 and walk back and forward while holding up the block. You've got to throw and then you've got a quick step dash button. All right. And you're like fuck me. We're playing footsies all day baby. We're playing. So because it's just Mario and Olympic at the senior footsies. It's Mario footsies Mario and Sonic footsies straight up and then tilt up and tilt down on punch and kick give you big charge attacks and they do you get more points for landing them. Right. And then there's a big recovery on some of them. So this is them. This is like actually Nintendo or I'm not sure if it's Nintendo. I don't know who developed if it's Namco first party or Sega or whatever. But this is a Nintendo fighting game in the 2D traditional ass sense. That's fucking weird.
Starting point is 01:33:54 And it got so real because the moment like Reggie figured out that like Daisy is Makoto. She's got a ridiculous dash grab and she's got a full on Hayate like rush punch from super far away and you're like this is amazing. Like this is actually a super legit fighter that I could pop in after a tournament for drunken shenanigans. Mario and Sonic is a full priced game. I wish you could just buy karate. Yeah. I think that was always the takeaway from almost all of those Mario and Sonic games or pretty much every Olympic game ever is like there'd be like two or three winners. You're like why didn't you just release these would have been great as for five bucks 10 bucks would have been great. There's also fencing not as good bomber fencing school.
Starting point is 01:34:47 Yeah. Because it's set up to play like Nidhogg but then they kind of fuck it up in the way the lunging and like the high and low stances work because it's just again like Nidhogg does it better. You can just feel like it's not quite the same. Karate is great. There's boxing as well and boxing feels pretty good. Well did we ever play Nidhogg too. I think we did. I think we did. You said Nidhogg and I'm like oh yeah Nidhogg's the greatest. I wonder if Nidhogg too and then I went oh right. Yeah. Boxing is the other really good game that plays like it plays like old boxing games like ready to rumble. You know. So that's all right. Then you go to the 8-bit side and then they have Judo with a really good announcer going Mario grabs Sonic
Starting point is 01:35:49 goes for the throw. Impressive toss. Yeah. My brain just went and he's going to go for the pin. It's Shane Oh Mac. Just like all those fucking attitude. Warzone. Warzone. By God. Austin just does the stunner. Terrible. Terrible. Yeah. Judo's pretty cool because like once you initiate a grab then you both have to hit the stick left or right for balance and like if I go too far one way I can then flip the other way you're like oh no I was already holding that way so it's like in Judo I pull you towards me you resist then I go the other way and get a nice whatever the term is. Judo Judo flips. I get an epon. Yeah. Yeah. So you know I don't know the fucking words. No one does that's fine but yeah fun mini games but not worth the full price
Starting point is 01:36:50 tag. Of course not. Unless you're going to make a video. Unless you're going to do a little a little streaming of it but certainly not like worth all the all those games we didn't play all of them but we played a few and some of them not great some of them are great you know really isolated would be wonderful. You'd probably see and hear more about that entire franchise if each of these games was released to the e-shop as a separate. Absolutely. Like hey yo all these are trash but yo that karate game though but it also risks flooding the e-shop with a bunch of thumbnails people don't want to see. Right. If there was like a folder you could click on me. Every single online store is unusably terrible at this point so I would ease but I would pay 10 bucks
Starting point is 01:37:35 for that that karate game. Yeah. You know but you wouldn't pay any dollars for nearly any of the others which I think is the point. I mean I'd buy some but yeah definitely not most. Excuse me. And then real quick last thing I'll just say is finished off Naruto 3. Didn't do the DLC. Got to come back to do that this week on the channel but hit the credits on that and it feels weird to have a lot of my questions being answered. Stuff that I've been wondering about plot wise. Is the great ninja war over. No. It were in the middle of it and it also is very like sometimes it's you sometimes the answers are satisfying sometimes they're not right. And for and one of the questions that I
Starting point is 01:38:29 always have is what does this legendary person and or foreshadowed group look like. And first you got the katsuki you got the katsuki's and their their katsuki robes and as you see more and more of them you're like well that's a weirdo but those ones are cool. And then that that's all right. First sure by the end yeah katsuki's are OK right then you see like oh shit it's the seven swordsmen of the mist. You know the ones we've been setting up the whole time. The two you knew were the coolest of course they are. Near is cool. You know you're like god damn it. There are you know one or two of them are all right but a lot of them are weird. And then you're like OK. And now here comes the other jinchuriki. It's the other demon
Starting point is 01:39:29 the tailed beast people. What are you guys going to be like. Oh man a bunch of you are really dumb looking. Then you have some really dumb looking beasts. Well that beast looks cool. But guess of these nine tailed eight tailed seven tailed etc. beasts like the QB whose real name is Kuruma who's a lonely sad tailed beast with no friends who sits on the swing because he has his lonely reasons too. Oh no he never had friends. He never had friends Pat. I hate it. I hate it. The evil monster that literally murders your parents by the way who we get to see and hang out with. Yeah they're cool. We get to see them guess what. What. They're dope. Yeah they're
Starting point is 01:40:34 they're great. Yeah they're great. The generation above right. That's the rule. Yeah the previous generation is rad. Cool. Stand still. The fourth Hokage and his girl are dope. Yeah they're great. Get fucking murdered by this QB but it was sad but he was all alone and to make it worse in English he sounds like noob Saibot. So he's literally speaking like this and I swear to God there's a line where it's like he says something to the effects of fine I guess you could have some of my chakra. Yeah I remember. I remember that. It's not like I wanted you to have it or anything. Just because we're getting closer doesn't mean I'm gonna let you in. I'm not like the others. I'm gonna I'm just gonna go ahead and we play a lot of video games and watch a lot of anime so
Starting point is 01:41:31 maybe it's at the forefront but the specifically Japanese redemptive quality to a lot of their stories is my most hated thing in all of fiction. Yes and I end up talking about this a lot on my channel at the moment because of how much it plays into both Naruto and Indivisible right. The concept of redemption and the discussion around it. I want to point out redemption has value. It does but there are ways to show this and to write it and there are different levels of empathy that you can have depending on the nature of what the person does and then I always stand by this. Don't talk about how you're going to redeem yourself. Show us. Show the redemption. Yeah and you know what? I guess I'll talk around it because it's about Naruto. You know what's not
Starting point is 01:42:37 good enough for your character's redemption arc? An apology. Right. Exactly. An apology. Exactly. That's talking versus actions. So ironically enough despite the fact that I don't watch Naruto and you're going through Naruto there are things about the way that plays out that I know that you don't. There are people that say they're sorry and Naruto just goes that's cool and they just let them go and that's it and that is it. Yeah and it's like even in the board shit it's never run up again. Yeah it's part of the like I got I lost my mind for many reasons during ultra despair girls. Yeah but a big yeah that was the one. A big one was that the children were murdering people but we were letting them go because they were children. It I could not over and over in your
Starting point is 01:43:31 brain. I could not handle every just kept going. Every Mega Man boss is a horrible piece of shit that should go. Yeah and no but they're too young to go you know and that's the only quality like it was wild. How many times did your brain go but we can kill guilty children right. Yeah there you go. Fucking arm blooded orphans. Raise your frag. Yeah. So in in in in this case right that's so bad. So but then there's layers right because you see these little bits where when for example the Ninetales attacks the village oh what's going on he's got a little Sharon Gannon in his eye. Yeah what's that about. He's mind controlled right. Yeah. Oh oh so that means he's on a rampage because he's being sent in by someone else except for when that goes away
Starting point is 01:44:25 and continues and he continues to do the bad thing. So you're like so what do you know it's in like shish kebabs he shish kebabs both parents it's wild it's a fucking full on skewer and then it's like no I'm lonely don't talk to me leave me alone you know and I'm like fuck you and your redemption with everything everything and it's not just limited to Japanese stories obviously the reason I fell off Steven Universe is what I think plague would call an unhealthy relationship with antagonism in that Steven Universe is of the belief at least when I was watching it and all the way up until its original finale that you can just talk things over with anyone no matter how bad they are no matter how bad it gets and it's like even the bigger bad than the one
Starting point is 01:45:16 that you're currently dealing with yeah every time you can always just talk it out yeah and it's like that's like to children talk through your problems great lesson also to children the idea that all problems can be solved with the discussion ridiculous and there's a very good one that Naruto does to subvert expectations and one fight is resolved with talk no jutsu yeah in a time when you wouldn't expect it and it's done well yeah and then the thesis statement of no we can talk away the evil from everything and everyone and also there is no such thing as a point of no return no such thing there's no such thing you can never be bad enough you can never be bad enough to not be saved and then as a shonen show needs to last years it just becomes more and more painful
Starting point is 01:46:12 when you see this same thesis gets shoved down your throat god steel ball run is so fucking good to bet I'll never be animated oh on this subject exactly do you hey do you want to see say let's stop for a second oh do you want to see stone so jojo part six stone ocean animated talk about it on twitter and your social media check that hashtag because they said that they won't be able to animate it unless people blow it up on social media now I think that quote is a lie I think that shit is going to get animated no matter what but I do think that the worldwide response to it is going to determine how much money they get to make it it's just on this topic in particular it's so satisfying right because it's like
Starting point is 01:47:07 in addition to being a brilliant artist a genius behind the fucking pen araki puts together wild wacky fun adventures kooky characters memorable stories and really fun 4d chess boss fights yeah but he also has this part of it down where you're like the nature of good and evil what the what the breaking point is and like now in his earlier works some of that shit was a little no gets a little wild at times especially when you watch like murder baby get away with go eating poop go go watch the end of part two when they're like talking about like oh stroheim was a good friend now go back to the beginning of part two and see what kind of shit stroheim was up to yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah how about that fucking introduction hey kid are you
Starting point is 01:48:02 gonna stand up for your whole village do you choose to sacrifice yourself that's cool yes you're awesome everybody else get him kill everyone to feed their blood to the monster because i'm a nazi what a hero yeah like saving the day at the end of the story wild wild yeah fucked but steel ball run touches on this in such a good way man so anyway it just kicks in whenever i have these moments but um anyway though uh like when he when he does shit like that he's a lot araki's allowed to forget as much as he wants yeah anyway so yeah Naruto's got this whole thing going for it and uh an indivisible actually has some interesting stuff about that too yeah um but in an unintentional way oh yeah i'd say the places that it goes are interesting to the
Starting point is 01:48:56 redemption discussion and some of them are not necessarily intended okay right oops accidental redemption not even okay um like i it's hard to go into detail okay without spoiling a lot but um it's becoming like wildly nonsensical the further we go into Naruto no and and i expect it to continue all the way to the end because i have screenshot proof i can text you the name of someone they just let go and you're gonna lose your mind yeah yeah you want the name it's fine dude we'll get there it's fine it's fine it's fine we'll get there we'll get there but looking at the way things are now like Naruto literally gives he's like i'm a brofist you nine tails you murderous evil kaiju because i'm gonna make you my friend like to kill my parents for fun i'm gonna make you
Starting point is 01:49:54 my friend too you know anyway um so yeah there's there's fucking unbelievable all of that coming together on woolly versus check it out on twitch we're streaming every day and then check it out on youtube on the episodes going up having a blast having a blast everything is trash woolly everything is trash what's not trash is shovel night showdown now available on the treasure trove you should play it you should buy it half of you probably already own it it is their entry into the four player like uh platform platform fighter we don't got to say smash clone because it's not i didn't i said smash them up smash them up platform fighter all right and it's got so much that like they've done some quality of life stuff that i didn't even know smash needed that they could use
Starting point is 01:50:47 in terms of just like fun mode selection and ease of use for like you know unlocking stuff if for just running a stream for example yeah i heard you just beep boop beautiful beautiful a lot of fun game bass is a blast everyone else is really fun there's rays and dark rays yo oh really dark rays everybody go go please please please uh uh if i can the treasure trove is complete and it's a wonderful and hanger cards is out too yes it is yes it is that's my week cool hey everyone i'm pat i technically had a week but i'll be really honest not a whole lot of interest occurred during it i mainly played some leagues and i thought about what to do with my stream ongoing and i was like this mainly an ad really uh i stream over at the twitch.tv
Starting point is 01:51:40 slash angriest pat and i decided you know that remake three looks really good and i simultaneously discovered that they had modders had recreated re2 and three with even better higher quality backgrounds like they use that machine learning shit yep to fucking upscale all that old shit yep so i'm like ah fuck it ah fuck it how many resident evil games are there that are technically mainline 13 that's actually a decent amount but 123 cv4567 uh the mercenary games nah it goes in release order zero 123 cvx then uh remake zero four oh wait hold on you're counting remakes yeah okay yeah so 123 cvx four remake zero five revelations six revelations two seven then remake two and then remake three
Starting point is 01:52:52 it's a lot and fucking i'm i'm just doing all you're gonna play the same one spell twice what pardon you're gonna do like re one and then remake yeah okay that game is fucking i got it working on a emulator uh last night jesus christ like and you just go shit on the chronicles like that re1 aged so bad compared to re2 and re3 it's kind of crazy like the the pre-rendered backgrounds are markedly much shittier and it's very obviously the very first one of this type of new genre because it is rough you ever uh wait did that game what color would ever come out no it never did it does exist you can get a hold of it but it's not done uh i was so excited when it was so cool that it existed at all it was the that was the
Starting point is 01:53:49 one of the most excited things i was for nintendo when i saw that yeah damn okay all right it's a bummer it's a real bummer uh and the only other thing that i really didn't want me my then i'm fucking shit is that i uh they got a new season of destiny out so i hopped into the new season of destiny and i'm like the only real thing i want to talk about is that they had this they're doing this thing now where every 90 days is a new season and every 90 days will have a new uh you know they'll do tweaks and quality of life shit and a little bit of a power jump but nothing big but it'll have a new activity that'll reward new items and the worry with this is that when shadow keep came out the activity was called the vex offensive and it was really fucking basic it was
Starting point is 01:54:35 it was really fucking simple when you say like activity that sounds much smaller than like a full it does doesn't it and so it's called a seasonal activity and the seasonal activity the last season was you run a 10 minute like little not quite a dungeon but like a like a like a you know a longer fight and then you fight a boss at the end and there are four guns that can drop and that's it um and it gave you a shit ton of drops so it was actually really easy to get good versions of those guns you'd you get like three four items per run and took like 10 minutes but that was it and they were building up for 13 weeks to go we're gonna build this big fucking portal and then we're gonna go in there we're gonna fucking kill a robot called the
Starting point is 01:55:26 undying mind okay and then when that week came around it was the exact same activity but they swapped the final boss for a slightly different looking final boss and the rewards didn't even change so i was going to say the one thing that would make a guess a difference in my brain here would be are these new content they are or is it remixed no they are new they are genuinely new okay but like the vex offensive was like you'd do it for a day and you'd be like yeah i've really really seen everything this has to offer and i probably got like everything that i wanted out of it and you're like is that like are we gonna get like one of these every fucking 90 days for the entire rest of the year is that it fuck and the answer is no because the reason why that
Starting point is 01:56:15 one was weak was because it was tied with all the shit that came out with the shadowkeep expansion because uh that expansion had a raid and had all this shit alongside it and story missions this new one is way way more in depth it is a much more complicated activity with much better rewards there's way more items there's a progression path you build up to earn more and it's a it's a whole fucking thing so it's like okay but even though it's much better all i can think of is like every 90 days they're going to make four to ten guns that are going to just fucking go away forever at the end of a 90 day period and some of them in fact a lot of them are really really good i imagine it's that idea of putting in something really strong into it's FOMO it's
Starting point is 01:57:06 it's it's it's commodified FOMO yeah um but they they have gone on record saying like oh stuff that's time limited that's important will come back for sure and all i can think of is like they're probably going to do something more like um guns that are a year old will cycle into cycle back in and get the generalized pool of shit okay sorry to pause you for one second super professional podcast hey punch mom you're around next saturday right yeah cool this saturday or next no the coming one i need to confirm before okay something all right that was bother me yeah you gotta do what you gotta do it but yeah it's it's and they're being kind of cagey about it and they probably be cagey about it for another nine months because
Starting point is 01:57:58 they don't want to say because the way it works is you buy a fucking season pass for 30 bucks or whatever it is and that that unlocks the ability to do the activity and get these items oh wait you don't just get this automatically no this is the battle pass every 90 days they have what i thought this was incentive for to keep playing the game as yeah the game's now free to play destine doesn't have a subscription uh okay okay okay so right just so there's right right right unless you're spending money they don't want you to just yeah yeah yeah yeah okay right they have to find the they have to sell you something yeah yeah so what they're selling is the activity and all the rewards associated with it would you rather something less frequent but
Starting point is 01:58:42 more substantial i would much much rather pay twice as much every six months yeah to get something that stayed yeah uh because the the the FOMO part sucks on the plus side like part the other part of it is like the activity and all the rewards there and the other thing is the battle pass itself which is ranks one to a hundred unlock these rewards it's fucking easy to hit a hundred like it's fucking laughably easy to hit a hundred you have 90 days to do it if you play for 40 minutes you get two levels so wow it's it's not a problem it's really like because they said hey well if you get to the end of the season and uh you're a couple levels short you know you can uh you can pay up to uh you know finish off the pass at approximately one dollar per level they don't
Starting point is 01:59:45 just do like a an exp booster the exp boosters are built into the pass okay you actually it actually goes faster and faster the more you play yeah my god but it's a dollar a level so hey did you like yeah think about that right yeah so if it was anything other than easy to get these yeah it'd be a fucking travesty and you'd see people you know yelling about it on social media but it's not it's actually really really easy to get it to the macabre interesting case study where you know how being free to play allows you to get away with weirder and weirder yeah models if you didn't start as free to play are you still held to that destiny has the longest running fucked up business model because the whole time it's ever existed i don't know everyone has just gone
Starting point is 02:00:45 why don't you just charge a fucking subscription because all of these even out to a subscription the fucking 10 what is it it's a 60 dollar expansion uh sorry a 40 dollar expansion every year with 20 dollar expansions every three months ends up to being like you know the math is like eight to ten dollars a month are there any quotes on the books about them saying we'll never make a subscription for this no there are quotes on the books of them arguing with uh activision back when they were about doing it and activision going you will not fucking charge a subscription but who's gonna drop their ff 14 money to pay for destiny too well here's here's where it gets really good so the battle pass now that i've played a bunch of games i play an mmo yeah i'm playing
Starting point is 02:01:40 fucking league and i'm playing destiny which is a pseudo mmo and they all have catch up mechanics they all have daily bonuses they all all these fucking things and it has never become more clear that all of these battle passes and all these things most of them or even subscriptions most of them are pretty decent values for actual content but what they're not is values for your time they are not about so much making money they're as much about keeping your competitors from making money because if i want to hit rank 100 in destiny and get every one of those guns that i want and maybe even get the title there's absolutely no fucking way on earth i am also going to be grinding up multiple characters to cap and final fantasy or getting my ranked play high
Starting point is 02:02:40 up in league it or whatever it demands all of your time it demands at least enough of my time that the idea of putting the same amount of time into another one of these is ridiculous okay is is the time demand off of 14 or warframe comparable or is it so warframe has no time demand warframe is really bizarre but these are all stop and start as you would yes destiny has the most um it had destiny by far of all the business models has the most hey you're not you don't you don't want to play this month well that shit's gone yeah it's just fucking gone right right the time the time limits the time limits final fantasy 14 has uh aside from you know events like oh the yokai watch thing is that you know shit like that fucking whatever start and stop at whim uh league
Starting point is 02:03:36 is it's just ranked games it's just specialty skin it's not a big fucking deal the other games are not pushing a time wall up to you yeah destiny's pushing up a fucking time wall and it's it's aggressive it's 90 days it's it's relatively fucking fast and it worked because i i didn't even really feel like fucking playing destiny this weekend but i'm like what you did well i want to get fucking rank a hundred by the end of the fucking season and i have 87 days to go so i better be getting a level a day because the rewards are all really cool and i want them but even and it's i may not want them right now but boy am i going to be pissed off in 55 days if i haven't started on them at all it's the same discussion about FOMO based incentive where you don't you're not playing
Starting point is 02:04:24 out of desire to play you're playing out of frustration yes to not lose the opportunity and here's where it breaks for any particular person right and i'm lucky that for me it does break on the right side of things but for some it doesn't some people i know will start playing and like i really don't want to grind this fucking thing out but i have to and that's the feeling they carry forward right yep i love hopped into destiny and i started playing it i'm like oh yeah no i actually fucking love playing this game and i'm having a blast but if i wasn't i'd be like fuck this season right i'd be like you know if i was if i was playing it i was like actually fucking bummed out and shitty but if you like i'm lucky i just happened to fall on the
Starting point is 02:05:14 right side of that if you don't then that FOMO shit will make you play a game all the time and hate it it'll make you play something like league often just so that your rank points don't decay and the more hours you've put in the more you're invested like it or hate it yeah so it's like right now yeah you know they've only done one of these seasons so far well i got all the fancy cosmetic armor from that season yeah so i'm at a hundred percent completion yeah i call it a duty boot right you got a duty boot that game based on the fact that it's like well you got to do it now Final Fantasy 14 doesn't even hide it when you go when you queue up for shit you're queuing up for duties yep you know you don't even you know you don't even want to do it yeah you don't even want
Starting point is 02:06:03 to do it but you're like well it's that time scheduled and the difference is how to do it whether or not you you do you you like so for me i think and this is for me only this is my personal thing i fucking hate going to parties i don't like going to cons i don't like to go out into large areas that have people in them until i get there and that's the problem like somebody says hey i'm having a party on so-and-so i'm like i don't want to fucking but i go and i always arrive and go oh what was wrong with me i you know oh this is fun and then i have a good time and then later i go i'm glad i went right yep almost almost universally like magfest was is a good example i didn't want to go cons forever and i'm like i should go to magfest and make sure
Starting point is 02:07:04 and then i went to magfest magfest is a fucking blast right connect the analogy it's like that but for playtime where for destiny in particular i don't want to log in and figure out all this fucking loot shit oh wait no the game's fun i forgot i fucking forgot because i haven't played in a month right the game's fun right oh man this monster hunter limited event thing i haven't played monster hunter in like two months i don't care oh this quest is awesome i really enjoy it great and i think like that's half on the game what i saw that screenshot that someone posted of like we've introduced it i think it's siege to allow new ways for you to craft your weapons or customize yeah to play and it was just like it's just like a screenshot of
Starting point is 02:07:52 a weapon that was like uh uh sharpness for sharpness five oh it was monster hunter sharpness five sharpness six listen here you listen here you little shit yeah no it was it was monster hunter to stack up um uh sharpness to get all purple the fucking you do it with my system how dare you don't do that yeah but yeah and that is half on the individual and it's half on the game it's up to the game to make sure that the things it's bugging you to come back for are things that people actually fucking enjoy yeah and then it's on you to go yeah i feel like i need to come back but if you don't enjoy it fucking stop there was a really bizarre period in which i was not on the wrong side i sorry i was not on the right side of this about a year and a half ago when i was playing
Starting point is 02:08:41 ff 14 because i felt guilty that my friends were higher level than me yeah yeah and i felt really guilty like like like really upset like i've put so much time into this and i'm letting it go behind what was all that time for and i'm like no yeah no this is bad and then i quit for like six months that's when i stopped playing for a while yeah and then i just came back and i was not yeah the the obvious analogy of course there being duty fighter five and the costume on locks and and whatnot those are the worst ones i've ever seen for anything one week those were the worst things of that like the the worst duty things they i have ever seen they did bring them back sure and they will be on the disc in february but like come back for this fight that sucks
Starting point is 02:09:31 and then you do it and you're like that sucked but i got one out of five duty boot and then maybe you forgot it next week oh well and now i wasted that week there goes i logged on captain commando and nergi gante like it it was the like i don't know who thought up the way they introduced that but that was like the worst of all worlds duty boot it literally for a fighting game it should have been hey play online a certain amount of matches and unlock the thing entirely just just don't even hide the the gacha game mobile system and that's not a gacha system it's a mobile game system of just boot the game up five days in a row and then at the sixth day here you fucking go you know why not fuck it just put a little punch card on the boot monster hunter has a punch card
Starting point is 02:10:22 yeah a bunch of games use punch card systems yeah teppen uses it and it's fine you know it's that duty boot league gives you a first one of the day just do it which is leagues first one of the day is fucking nefarious because you can play a lot of losing games in a row and be like oh i'm gonna quickly hop on and get my first one of the day and i'm not leaving until i get 40 40 40 40 40 there it is yeah like shit you know when you're playing teppen there will be times when you come back to the main menu and then like it goes hey the date has changed here's your update and you're just like oh i've been playing a while like i got a date change prompt um yeah yeah just throw that throw it throw it that way yeah new new destiny uh season seems really good all the stuff's really
Starting point is 02:11:14 cool all the all the weapons are are fucking stellar like they're good looking which the last season they were hideous there were these guns covered in vines and shit like an overgrown look and everyone's like i can't see the fucking it looks like shit looks like i'm firing a stick but this stuff's all sheet metal and stuff it's cool if the incentive leads to a game place that you enjoy then then it's fine then win win for everybody it's fine if it leads to something that you're kind of miserable playing you need to probably leave that game entirely but the Reinhardt time wall walking towards you is not great that's not every every time you go to cash in a reward from leveling up on that you know one the fucking amount of days remaining is in the
Starting point is 02:11:56 upper right corner of the screen mm-hmm of course it is and it's like yeah why don't you just make it so that i bought the pass i can unlock everything on this fucking pass instead of days remaining just show price remaining to max out oh that's that'll really incentivize people just show the money going down look you're saving money every minute you play the game the money goes down you're almost down to two dollars you're right there keep playing it's like it's free now keep playing that's fucking nefarious money go down well if you want to see me uh fucking blast through the resident evil franchise as fast as i think i can do i think i can do a bunch of those games in one night uh and also putts around in like league and ff7 and shit go down to twitch.tv
Starting point is 02:12:50 slash angriest pat on weeknights usually at around 8 p.m eastern check that out if you want to see uh the putts singing indivisible in naruto and me trying to figure out why those roads are creating a weird aura oh menacing aura you mean the fucking tentacle bitch roads then uh you can check out uh woolly versus on twitch and youtube those roads are weird yep they're giving a menacing aura uh and uh thank god also i got an explanation from min as to where they start an end and how that works because the first road i saw was a segment in the middle with no starter end connected to the points that you would need to yeah they go to distro so i stared at a random piece of road and i was like but how do i road and like it would have been bad if i had to try and figure that out
Starting point is 02:13:48 because i'm like this is the this is the worst possible chunk of road you could have given me you're usually supposed to see the very first segment of the road first yeah um so in any case that is over on woolly versus and since saturdays are now our fun variety stream times yeah uh if everybody enjoyed last saturday then stick around this saturday because we're gonna be uh bringing back since i got that confirmation we're going to be bringing back some good old-fashioned table lords oh my god we're going tabletop this saturday baby so come in have fun grab a drink stick around we're going to be playing at old school if you want to with pens and papers saturday night seven thirty schedule is going to go up on my twitter where you can see what we're gonna be

Starting point is 02:15:35 you don't want to be the old guy at the club yeah he's not that old but he's just a bit too old to be at the club yep yep you don't want to be the guy you don't want to be that the the weird 38 year old hanging out with the college kids like what you're like you're not you're you're a good guy but why why are you here like who brought you whose man's is this anyway um yeah so that that's gonna be going around and and i i have a feeling that um uh more people will watch it this time so uh yay let's tune in for that all right boop boop boop what's the next part of the podcast the news hey we got news oh so i'm just gonna apologies boy i'm just gonna repeat the exact joke that i made to woolly upon walking in the door must be a big news week because the tga is right
Starting point is 02:16:32 why would you save anything for for jeff at this point why would you not just announce it on your own show you know what the funniest thing about that is woolly is that one of the reasons why the tga's was so bad by the way i fucking hate the name of the tga's because it's the game awards but i keep saying the tga's yeah the vga's no that's the old one that's a that's a specifically different thing it's a different brand the g a's because the vga's were owned by spike this is just jeff kealy's game awards that's awful it sucks but um remember how they ended on fucking uh fast and furious drunk times terrible ps2 game and there was no one more thing and you were like what the really valve pulled the fuck out like two days before the the vga's

Starting point is 02:22:17 ass nintendo franchise um well the creator uh is now working at thousand games and there's a new game uh called synaptic drive and synaptic look this up that's a good name and synaptic drive looks like a new spiritual successor not synapse shit synaptic drive looks like a new spiritual successor uh in the vein oh boy does it holy shit robo uh which i don't know it's almost like hey nintendo's not doing anything with this i'm gonna do my own that is and it's coming out on the switch it was it was it was like literally like they're just making custom robo where there's no custom robo that's hilarious yeah you know the fucking past 10 years of like no one's doing anything with this all right we made violent bills this is the era we live in now right
Starting point is 02:23:16 we live in an era where um it's becoming easier and easier to just make indie games that make the game you wanted a sequel to yeah fucking make your own sequel right it's it's just that possible with the right team and skills and in this case if you're a creator that's out there on twitter telling people like yo you know that thing you love me for i want to make more of it would you support me if i made another version of it that was legally distinct and people are like fuck yeah and this totally looks like that same style of game looks great um lots of characters and customization obviously parts and things available uh check it out you know synaptic drive and and yeah the the the maps they're fighting on are screaming custom robo like i was looking at it
Starting point is 02:24:02 it looked like screenshots from custom robo or at least my memories of them yeah like the amount of times as you say talk about like the creators and stuff like that like the amount of times that like um you'd see uh uh like the the uh uh not to see him as good you god damn it oh this is good i like this bit skank funk the the career the music man behind jet set radio is working in on is working on everything uh uh that looks remotely like jet set radio out of an extreme desire for there to be more jet set radio in the world yes you know um and and if anything has like even just like similar school street stylings like uh lethal league blaze yeah um he will be there uh so yeah i like this i like this world that we that we have entered where the creators can
Starting point is 02:24:53 just make their own things if they're not getting the nintendo to help them out or whatever else is going on um synaptic drive uh god shit what was his name that this is bugging me i got a fact check who hedecky naganuma totally is the guy that did the music in jet set radio really good really really good uh that's good music even i know that and i never played the fucking game or no way anything about music so game that is being made by platinum oh wait maybe not hmm their names disappeared hard to say grand blue fantasy relink new footage yeah looks really good looks really good i wonder why how did the game start
Starting point is 02:25:46 to look this great it's almost as if huh well anyway uh looks looks like a fucking solid ass character action banger multiplayer multiplayer action game um fun to see these characters i now recognize from a little from grand blue fantasy versus like there's landslide there was a weird there was a weird moment where uh a character got announced for the fighting game uh grant and the the girl with the demon horns and the sword yeah and i'm like oh that's the the hot girl in the christmas outfit cosplayer that i saw yesterday right right like it's like that's where we're going on okay i mean watching this game and seeing i'm like hey look it's grand you know and i'm and i'm actually like i'm like yeah it's those characters from the fighting game i know you
Starting point is 02:26:36 uh it's fun you know so they're like yeah i don't even know anything about from grand blue fantasy at all but the recognition is already there man lancelot is a handsome fellow anyway um this game uh looks like it's going to be a a banger a probable banger so we got a cinematic game a cinematic trailer and then a gameplay trailer so it's interesting that we're seeing uh we're seeing grand and league go we got some hot shit let's fucking stretch as far as it'll go in every possible genre to make like the the er property well sci games has been tentacle creeping up into everything for they've they've been they've been creeping this continues this just continues their their entire company like mo you know leases more like a fucking tentacle
Starting point is 02:27:35 explosion but i guess it's been secret if you've got if you've got the money to put those fingers in every pie as we talked about earlier just why why not and furthermore if you've got the money to hire the right people to insert your finger into the pie for you this analogy is getting more and more distressing i mean if you can get the p star people to hold your hand and guide yeah guide your finger into the pie that is character action it's it's i don't listen you understand that's all that matters the game looks game looks good it's going to be very cool uh it looks very big do combo but also number go up are you ready to become oh what do the fate people call it there's a fucking word there's a term for the people that are not into the original thing
Starting point is 02:28:28 they're only into the wealth of spin-off shit oh what is the fucking term for this like a guided night like like a guided it's like it's got like fake fan energy spin master spin off fucking secondaries secondary a secondary fan oh we got we got gatekeeping the secondary fans are scum we guys see keeping terms i love it oh oh i'm the i'm so ready i'm so ready to be a secondary fan oh yeah i'm a secondary fan of things that i'm already a fan of i'm a secondary pokemon fan yeah i i i i i beat blue and i liked it i am super secondary jeez that's pokemon might pokemon might be the most fucked up series ever in that are you old enough to have played and beat the original game when it came out and that's it you're a fake fan yeah yeah um
Starting point is 02:29:38 but then it goes the other way like rin persona where it's like have you never seen the original running no you're a fake fan i mean i have but it sucks yeah certainly secondaries i like it i'm i can't believe you didn't read the original pornographic visual novel you only play the fucking mobile j you didn't you didn't get into the the the the the type moon is that my fake fan the type now or car bro it took a while before it stopped being porn it was it's still porn woolly it's don't even pretend it don't even pretend i'm pretty sure they've been able to to to you know pretend that their past is not their past anymore i don't i don't are they still making the full on dojin i don't think so they got the real money now they got that legit money
Starting point is 02:30:38 you know it's like the cardi b it's like the cardi b she's uh you drag poor cardi b into this trash don't that is disrespectful excuse me i'm sorry that is disgusting i apologize you keep real human beings away from the fate stuff i word real humans are not allowed i don't know what i was thinking only lancer classes i'm gonna learn more about fate just to get more wrong i was really hoping you're gonna say i'm gonna learn more about cardi b i don't really need to know all that much she went from fucking being dirt poor stripper to being a fucking star to being a millionaire stripper it's awesome multi i've seen i've seen enough clips of cardi b holding up a shoe and just going to know exactly what cardi b is and be like oh yeah
Starting point is 02:31:42 she's all right there you go um that's full on i don't what's that word like the full on i'm rich now fuckers energy well there is a term it goes before the word rich oh yeah yeah very extremely significantly suddenly no it starts with an n it's the cop it's the opposite of caucasian wealth oh it's called new vorice new vorice see i got you i feel like this guy this guy no it actually is that is actually the real yeah new money mm-hmm nailed it new money smells better than the old money and rich and rich are you motherfuckers call me a cardi b secondary what the fuck is this i mean quite that you literally just did that you just did that but here's the part now right what about what about her crimes what about the parts where she did crimes well which ones were
Starting point is 02:32:47 those i don't know she did some crimes before she got big were they good crimes or bad crimes there were bad crimes oh there were bad crimes you know we i mean so michelle rodriguez i don't know if it's on that level but there was crimes oh okay yeah i just got a text from page saying it's good the shit out of her with the dead bit it's great scared them all new vorice new new rich new rich there it is yeah and rich it's good what do you think i was gonna say anyway anyway so um the the the long the the the the the full quest that they put up of um fantasy versus relink um looks like a it looks like a lot of things happening right because you're like you're fighting with your squad of four and you're calling in little little buddy striker
Starting point is 02:33:54 things and you're air comboing the shit out of dragons and um it looks like what i would want an mmo to be like yeah it looks really good it looks like it's kind of splitting the difference between something like monster hunter and like fantasy star but is this not all is that not also kind of what like god eater ends up being or not god eater god eaters just sense of being trash no no not god eater what's the one with the jail and the grappling hook uh freedom wars freedom wars is this is that no no this is how that looks way better yeah okay well um i played every single one of those once and most of them are trash this looks better right out the gate we're about to become big grand blue secondaries hell yeah well the one thing about grand blue
Starting point is 02:34:39 that i'll give it right away is that the art's all really good yeah it's it's anime as fuck but it's solid i like the color yeah it's bright it's happy it's happy japanese fantasy so like it lends itself to a lot of different genres and properties um but it's also never gonna be like anything but extraordinarily clean yeah and in some cases boring but uh but i there's but like some of the cast that i've seen uh has been like oh but that's that's fine you know that's okay that's an offensive i'm i'm okay i'm down with that but yeah um i was gonna say something else about that yeah that's it if you are side games and you're like yo we want a fighting game we want to get people to care about grand blue cool what do we do
Starting point is 02:35:29 arcs this what you up to make this hey we want an action game platinum what you up to make this right and every genre you want to go into you get the people at the top to make the thing with your name on it like that's that's exactly how you should be doing it i just i feel like there's gonna be a point where somebody's watching grand blue it's called relink relink people are um watching grand blue verses and let's say there's a third one that comes out i'm you know whatever like a visual novel or like a like a your brazzers make this right i feel like i'm like wow this looks cool all these characters what game are they from originally and people like hand them a phone and it's like these little chibi characters and it's like buy the cards dude you know and it's like that they
Starting point is 02:36:23 showed off the dlc packs for the fighting game and they introduced characters by showing their portrait and then the sprite from the mobile game yeah moving around and i'm staring at it going wait what the fuck is wrong with that character why is the animation so oh my god i'm looking at the phone you're looking at the phone like it took a second they're like the proportions are all fucked what is this that's not huh it's weird yeah if that's what it means to be a primary then i want to be a secondary until the day i die thank you you know just fucking carve the two onto my chest okay don't don't need to get all don't need to get that crazy big big secondaries so what's it what's a tertiary tertiary be like i only watched the anime adaptation of the fighting
Starting point is 02:37:14 game on netflix yeah i watched the death note let netflix yeah i'm a bit i'm a big fan of death no i really like that netflix movie and that's it and then you like and that's that's it and then and then everyone around you at the anime con goes but you also own like the the script the shooting script uh you got that copy of hollywood magazine with the stars on it doing an interview you're way into that way into the netflix spin off of a spin off you're a tertiary that seems like a horrible existence are we gonna are we talking about gatekeeping primaries while simultaneously gatekeeping against tertiaries yeah so i see so it's only it's that shit rolls downhill shit rolls downhill okay okay gripes go up shit rolls down got it got it got it so fuck those
Starting point is 02:38:11 primary elite snobs welcome that's their gripes they go up put the tertiary oh get out of here you fucking tertiary pieces of shit beneath the boot hill you don't know the real content get out got it i mean neither do i but i know it's closer we also had a really fun tweet that popped up during the g tga it sucks it sucks during the game awards um um one harada san asked people very candidly on twitter let me be honest what percentage of you are really waiting for tech n cross street fighter my marketing view is that tech n seven and street fighter five are selling very well so there's no opportunity to drop this crossover game
Starting point is 02:39:07 on the market 59 percent of people said of course i'm waiting 13 percent said forget it whatever 28 percent said i didn't see it don't ask me for shit oh well catchphrase it's a good catchphrase um he straight up said it he's completely right and he wants that question he's 1000 percent correct when it's not about can we make it it's about one both of these games are out and doing their thing when the when the when the fucking brand deal was happening at the time yeah yeah everyone was waiting for it like it was hot shit but then street fighter cross tech n was a fucking train wreck that's not only it yeah but it was it's that's the and then yes time happened yes the game would not good so the novelty of this is long past but in addition to that
Starting point is 02:40:03 other games were happening yeah right you have to step on your own toes to make this game come out of course a lot of people are going to say do you want a new product and everyone's going to vote i want a product no one's going to say i don't want a thing right if you can make a magic option appear then you're going to want that option to appear regardless of the difficulties of the circumstances to make it appear right but he's totally right it's an awful time tech n seven is killing it right now yeah it's uh it's an interesting thing especially with my three fighter five championship exists is there yeah it is it is there it is available now too you could get it or at least but teckin's killing it teckin seven's crushing it um it's it's something that
Starting point is 02:40:44 after dipping my toe into the mover world like there is only room for three or four games in any given genre ever like you know the thing of like you know we talk about mmo's and shooters there's the big one and there's number two sort of sort of but that i feel like that like that is true but like fighting games have been like in that place but like rebelling against that place for a while now yeah and because our our plethora of options just kept happening as people started making their own totally and it but it's this thing of like man i bet if the only fighting games that were hot right now were sf five and teckin there would probably be way more people playing sf five and teckin because they'd be the only two fighting games on the market just like with uh league
Starting point is 02:41:34 and dota and then smite i think is the third one i'm not sure right it's like they're the games in town do you want to play it play play these games you know and so the idea of making another competitor to yourself seems silly third strike and cvs one were one year apart that's stupid as fuck but it was awesome but it was also an arcade machine it was it's very important to note that these are two machines with 50 cent insert coin in the modern era that things stupid as fuck yeah you're not asking someone to spend 70 dollars on these arcade machines to play them yeah you're asking them for 50 cents over here 50 cents over there so you're probably asking them if they're really into it like a thousand dollars but but but but but but right they're walking by a line of
Starting point is 02:42:27 machines and you're like which one of these do you want the one that's the loudest boon yeah the one that gets laws made about it exactly you're destroying but that's that's all it was at the time and it gets way different now when you're stepping on your toes with a massive fucking hey spend that 70 dollars though yeah so like tech and season pass second is killing it really just keep supporting tecan street fighter five hey boy i'm excited for street fighter six come on street five six when it works it works but like even bb tag on announcement was like why do you why you already have blaze blue you you're making guilty gears spread yourselves thin and you know i mean the game's got some fun stuff but it's got problems it's it's got it's got some
Starting point is 02:43:18 weird stuff but uh yeah yeah he's he's totally right and even and again people are gonna vote yes on that not necessarily like because it's just like do you want more things yes rather than just put two or three more capcom characters in the tecan seven that'd be that'd be fine that'd be fine um at this rate put uh uh chunners in there and here's the thing too like hakan too tecan seven is deep into its life cycle and it's this healthy yeah like people need like it's like stop and appreciate for a second how far and how good it is and this doesn't happen that often yeah tecan's a good game and this is a rare situation of length longevity and quality all all cylinders yeah you know working out um so you know it's it's it's not
Starting point is 02:44:14 a good time to drop another game on the market much less spend the time developing it it's a really bad time it's not a good time to take away resources from the game that's crushing it yeah i think they the next game they should make i think it would be cool if it was sf across i sorry tecan cross sf uh because i i i don't see a a point to tecan eight right now because it's different than it was there's like unlike like if street fighter five was killing it right the way that four was killing it yes i'd say uh don't make a street fighter six just keep working on five just add more shit to five um but in this circumstance you made the deal i don't know how much you can go back and renegotiate it but it would be infinitely wiser
Starting point is 02:45:01 to just turn that money into a unique season of tecan seven totally completely agree make a street fighter guest season yeah and then just roll with that idea yeah pick five characters that people really like and three three classics two weirdos and do do what you've been doing which is showing extreme love yeah for your guest characters grab like a couple grab two stages yeah that are uh suzaku castle and um the the statue in lid wilderness tyland yeah tylan statue grab tyland and grab suzaku castle yeah and then uh just fucking make that yeah totally agree build on the existing amazing product and find another way to value add the shit out of it yeah it's uh it the so gran and league are doing the smart thing is that they're expanding the brand
Starting point is 02:46:03 into completely different genres that don't compete with the primary thing like the mobile grand players are not going to drop it for the fighting game that's ridiculous right mobile players aren't going to drop league or smite or dota for a card game or a a fucking rpg these are just these are extensions but when we're talking about fighting games i mean he's asking do you want just another fighting game that'll take attention away from or already really successful fighting games like yes you don't need it people already loving tech in seven would absolutely have a blast with a new season of this guest crossover shit sure uh people that don't have tech in seven would see that and be like whoa wait and be and probably jump on the tech
Starting point is 02:46:56 at seven i'll tell you one thing a lot of hype around tech at seven yo leary smith yeah oh my god he's so good he's actually that motherfucker uh excuse me uh he is got an expiration date on him he's so good oh it's like that huh it is vanilla cigar he is way good right now he's got everything yeah he's better wang and it's not gonna last so i like the tech what he's doing where they're taking characters that had cool fighting styles but they're like people didn't really gel with the character people didn't really gel with wang and bruce Irving so let's make the coolest old black man we've ever made and grappler backy character yeah for i can even pronounce his fucking name fuck fuck yes the dude it's sorry thailand folks it's a reverse setsuka yeah yeah
Starting point is 02:48:06 so um yeah man enjoy enjoy leroy while you can because it ain't gonna last he has way too many good buttons and uh he's a blast to use he's so much fun tech in seven's banging tech in seven's good game the only thing that it is not banging on is that rollback netcode i got fucking super hard trolled uh uh last night i saw hey everyone uh guilty gear is gonna be moving to ggpo we really believe the guilty gear played offline is the best way to fucking go for i'm like fuck you motherfuckers yeah that's an old joke yeah well i guess the screenshot made its rounds again i got i got played again yeah yeah guilty gear played offline anyway um thanks rata i will not ask you for shit but i will say this street fighter season would be a way better idea right now
Starting point is 02:49:07 especially seeing as everyone is really really really enjoying t7 and then you can make your bundle for next gen and you can also have a good time playing street fighter characters that would be nice all right look let's talk about it let's talk about it because i'm not going to sit here and pretend that i hate everything that's happening because i don't yeah all right let's be real girl sef is on the money it's cool girl sef is on the money girl sef being a jury fangirl is hilarious well it's because in theory right now the idea i believe is jury killed sef therefore therefore sef takes on the form of jury even even her uh down to some of her idol poses also i believe all the male dolls were destroyed yeah so this is doll zero yeah
Starting point is 02:50:06 so this is like the like basically but also set doesn't give a shit um certainly not and still sounds like sef yeah but in this new body love it yeah love that idea that's cool and it's super that's fun yeah remember dural so i hate sef excuse me dural because first of all this character got leaked like a long time ago shh act surprised uh and uh the part that makes me want to die was the the way that it got to me was people going hey dural's gonna be in the new is gonna be the new street fire it's gonna be crossover character because sef is like metal and it's gonna be girl sef it'd be like dural and i'm like fuck you fuck i love virtual fighter it's so dead it's so dead fuck but girl set this cool
Starting point is 02:51:04 here's what else is cool taking the concept of sef and making it more interesting by adding a curbie function yeah to sef so now you have of course all the moves that are borrowed from the rest of the cast as the general move list yeah looking a lot more original by the way right a lot more original like standard set take on these moves but then a v skill that sucks an ability out of the character that she's fighting and gives it to sef so now you can see sef do a sonic boom yeah versus guile an abigail punch versus abigail or a scissor kick versus bison yes cool right love it love that uh that curbie ability love that anti-mugan tech which is uh just finding a like like you specifically have moves based on your matchup uh android 21 was
Starting point is 02:52:01 like that in dragon ball as well so uh that's fun right um also sef's worst aspect was his design yeah was really boring so way to fix that yeah by making it not boring and just mixing it up yeah all over the place uh the summer costume also looks pretty fun because i don't know if you've seen it but with the hair with the hair the big yellow glasses and the looks like a windjammer yeah looks like a windjammer on that costume yeah so um that's a fun announcement they threw out there uh there's also the battle costume where you see like the bison ripped outfit and the the cloak for the story and stuff we'll see where this goes um that all came out after the capcom cup yesterday alongside uh the patch for the new version of the game season five everyone gets a new
Starting point is 02:52:56 v skill cool uh wacky ones including uh guile can jump forward and do a diagonal downward sonic boom that's crazy he yeah super nuts jump forward sonic boom shooting diagonally down he's akuma now he's got an akuma yeah that's crazy mo jump that's fucking okay yeah um seems way better seems seems immensely strong seems way better but it would have but it like but the abilities they get have to be good enough to make them an incentive to not pick what they originally have right uh i think i read the description nikali gets barf barf he barfs on the ground uh-huh believe it or not and it crawls towards you and if you do his v trigger activated version it crawls further how apropos yes what's up with uh incredibly cool mezzo-american uh boss characters this generation
Starting point is 02:54:01 being turned into bitch jovers i don't know but i will always give that design my fullest attention because codle and nikali look incredible i will always pick the pillar man yeah when i see you the pillar man i'm mating the pillar man yeah until something else comes along like a boxer which it will very fast yeah uh black it got shadow birth it's not shadow birth anymore but it is a very light casual casual shadow birth yeah and a couple other stuff uh your boy abigail got his tire yeah really a tire bounces on screen and like it just rolls and if you hit it it bounces upwards some goofy shit yeah you know um yeah in some cases they took an excuse to like expand an idea that was already there like sagat gets the you know he angry scar tiger uppercut yeah that makes
Starting point is 02:54:56 his tiger uppercut stronger now he gets it for the tiger knee sure um where you get to dodge in a counter attack it's not a dodge it's just another parry oh yay this one might not suck this time oh wait it probably does poor reggie he was so mad he was so angry anyway um everyone gets a new skill that you can go check out and uh i want to say that guile one looks to be the wildest it sounds the craziest it looks the wildest of the ones i've seen sounds like the kind of thing you you'd hack into the game yeah um but alongside that uh we still haven't oh wait what was the other one i saw hold on event hubs has a list of all of them they're all out there whatever um you can go check oh yeah that's it ken gets his flip kick okay from cvs and some some fun stuff zeku comes
Starting point is 02:55:54 calls in a ferret well does any of this matter i mean nobody seems happy with sf5 i'm gonna go see what gil's about i'm gonna go i'm gonna i'm gonna go check it out i'm gonna see what i feel like sf5 was something that i wanted to love very badly but it never loved me back but but i'm enough of a friend i'm enough of a sure our buddy i'm enough of a a franchise fanboy that i'm going to go explore this new content i'm gonna go see gil because i think gil looks cool i like that gil is back from third strike but he's got an original bit going on you know he has a retribution system instead of crush counter like i there's enough of street fighter lore and character love in me to still care about checking sure but i mean even comparing the way you're talking about street
Starting point is 02:56:45 fighter right now to comparing to like the smile and the light in your eyes when we're just talking about tech because the competitive aspect of it is is firing on all all cylinders the gameplay is fun to jump on and just press buttons and do things and uh yeah that that's kind of just not not here at the moment with a five i was hearing changes about the capcom tour they're gonna have bands and teams uh there is a no street fighter league i believe fighter league street fighter league is doing that capcom tour is capcom pro tour still the the one thing street fighter league is the teams where you can ban character picks cool and uh you can do all that like it's the it's the league that snake eyes will now stop playing it
Starting point is 02:57:30 yeah so anyway all that's happening and you and like i said at the at the end of the day i am enough of a fan of street fighter it's street fighter right that's the thing is i'm i'm and i care about that in all its forms enough to go see what's going on you know um and i remember having this discussion actually with reggie where i'm like even games even fighting games that i'm like not super into but like kind of into yeah like i'll i'll get them because as a fan of the genre i'm just i'm just gonna pick it up i'll pick it up and see how it's going you know um i just it's it that doesn't apply to everybody that's not something i expect i mean this i mean this weird waiting period where i'm just like every time they announce something for five yeah like the
Starting point is 02:58:27 six that i think will be more fun to me yeah gets pushed back by a month and i go um you like g right i do not enough to play sf5 okay which is like yeah because g turned out to be one of the funnest new things oh he's great they've ever done yeah he's wonderful presidentiality uh so that's every single thing he says is nonsense yeah so that's what's happening over there uh and then yeah we had um we had some video game award announcements uh the one i want to jump to right away is upon the one that i identified on first frame yeah the moment the frame popped up i'm like that's fucking wolf among us too right there yeah page the same thing that building yeah and that background that you're showing me is the wolf among us you're gonna pan out and then low and
Starting point is 02:59:33 behold it was um and then the first question is how and i was like i remember there being some words somewhere about like telltale existing or someone know another studio coming in they worked on the um someone came in and made the rest of yeah uh the walking dead right the final the final season and yeah so um it turns out that wolf among us too re-announced at the game awards is happening because lcg entertainment bought telltale and they're gonna sell some of the company uh some of their bat catalog and work on new games based on some of the telltale associated properties everything is weird about telltale a lot of it a lot of the corporate dealings around telltale's bankruptcy feel like some kind of scam to fuck over the employees well um everyone
Starting point is 03:00:29 going on into onto uh god what was the company that made i forget the name of the company that finished off uh i don't remember walking dead but you know people moved on to their to a separate place where they're not under that like bullshit anymore is this great news right that is a night as opposed to not landing anywhere on their feet i think i'm happy to hear the way that this plays out makes me very anxious because it looks like hey we all went bankrupt because the company was being run poorly okay all of you guys can go over here and form a new company so that we can hire you to make the games that we were already going to make as private contractors instead of employees but that's just a lot of assumptions on my part but i don't know something
Starting point is 03:01:15 about it feels weird but i i maybe we don't know the full details obviously but i'm happy that they were able to make their own company apart from the bullshit that they had to deal with which was not great as we remember when telltale came to a close um and so now it sounds like uh yeah they're going to have the ability to review licenses to some of the existing games that they worked on under this new lcg entertainment era of telltale so uh we will see how this shapes up let's say there is still a space for those types of narrative games um don't not is not going to good ones anyway don't not is not going to uh bogard that to themselves no and everyone still remembers fondly season one of the walking dead that was a really good game we also didn't know
Starting point is 03:02:10 as much about the formula back we didn't so part of it is naivete yeah absolutely okay and then last story but big story of course is the game awards itself and the things that happened there in very dull well very dull i'll tell you what it's like you tune in to oh react to the nominations and whatever hey congrats to ludwig congrats as well yes ludwig i extended my congratulations personally called him a nerd uh or no a dweeb but um yeah congrats ludwig you did a good job with the score and cyanara wild hearts was recognized multiple times and that makes me happy but the big takeaway for me the like the feel good was seeing its innocent like jump up with joy when dmc won action game and the disco elysium devs yes being
Starting point is 03:03:08 visibly uncomfortable and very awkward at winning two awards for their incredible game super well deserved super well deserved um that was that was a a right call yeah disco elysium and yeah again like i was totally sure that cyanara would be under the radar but it wasn't so that is nice too but regardless of that um the announcements is what people are waiting for and um the big one uh of course being okay we went through a couple i think we eventually landed on the x sex uh the sex box sex box works too but we were already doing sex box were we i mean sort of but not really it's the series x box really it's the sex box sex box happened when they first had at the the x bones and then x box sat x bone sad x yeah we went x box x bone x
Starting point is 03:04:07 bone sad to the sex box well before uh no before s ad there was just s yeah the x box right and now we now we're on to the the x sex you know so x box series x fucking confirmed by the way with this i am locking in that they will never get it right it will always be terrible it will always be the worst and they just don't know uh somehow bad it is somebody on our subreddit actually broke down what a what a conversation of your dad trying to go buy one of these things at a store will actually sound like hey do you want an x box yeah i would like the new x box do you want the x box one the x box s the x box series x what's the difference the x box series x is the new one okay is that does that mean it's good yes well what i don't have enough i don't have as
Starting point is 03:05:04 much money do you want the x box one s that means small well it is smaller but it's like every part of it they're trying to beat nintendo for what i believe to be the worst name ever not the we not the we you i i genuinely believe the worst name for a gaming thing ever is the new nintendo 3ds i can't think of anything that could possibly be worse i'm sure there are parts of the world in which calling something the new nintendo 3ds is probably illegal due to some kind of advertising law right because it's not new because they're afraid of non-customer friendly terminology right but the x box the x box 360 the x box one the x box one s the x box one sad and now the x box series x here's what gets my goat here's what grinds my gears on a piece of paper the words
Starting point is 03:06:08 x box series anything else any letter or number other than s and x would have been fine x box series one x box series a literally any other digit available digit or letter fine than those two but no the fear of a low number sounding worse than a ps5 or a letter that's not as brand synergizing as x because at that point it just becomes oh yeah this is a series whatever right it should be called the x it should legitimately be called the x box series t for tower because when that thing showed up on the fucking screen me and page almost idently almost simultaneously went that's a fucking tower yeah that's just a tower it's a pc yeah then you would have had then you would have x set sure yeah yeah or just pick an animal or
Starting point is 03:07:17 object or call it scarlet or call it scarlet or call it the nintendo revolution x box scarlet nothing wrong with that fine you need the name x box there it's so bad it's important that the word x box i want to i want to fucking give a little clap for the x the x box some people we've told the story before but some people may not know the direct x box that the x box has a long history of terrible names starting with the original name with its codename being the direct x box for the runtime language and no one in development was able to come up with a better name so they just went fuck it it's the x box which is terrible which is terrible do you remember the reject list i don't remember the reject list total action console oh my god non-stop action gaming
Starting point is 03:08:13 the tech the tech the total the extreme gaming like just complete and utter out of touch nonsense complete like just a giant list of three word acronyms that were fucking trash terrible the cringiest you've ever so uh it's gonna be a pc tower um it may fucking run windows who knows they are bragging that this thing will probably have 100 backwards compatibility which lends credence to the idea that the ps5 will have 100 percent backwards compatibility and boy i hope that's a thing going forward it would be really nice particularly for people in our line of work to just have the fucking consoles run everything that ever came out on them i mean the promise of having the the omni console for these games is that's the dream yeah
Starting point is 03:09:22 playstation backed out because they were giving people a burner which is like what the fuck are you doing i remember that was the weirdest announcement ever yeah this console has a burner in it back up your games on it like is that a dev kit no no no anyway xbox series x it's a tower um that announcement of the playstation five leak if you saw it and didn't notice it was a fridge you're an idiot you deserve it you deserve everything that you get made fun of you sure do um it's fucking fridge dumbass i'd like to give suda 51 a round of applause for doing something i didn't think was possible and that is make me fucking hate no more heroes for a little bit how so that fucking trailer because was so fucking awesome because right up until it
Starting point is 03:10:23 turned into a superhero god damn superhero is the coolest game that has ever existed that never existed like that was such a strong premise and then it turned into not like the instant travis fucking wheeled in i went oh cool trap i was so out of it that i thought uh no more heroes trailer was just starting up right away yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah well here's the other problem now whatever that is it can't possibly be the entire game it can only be an aspect of no more heroes three and you're like but i want that more than no more heroes three i want it so much more i really really want it i would also like to give suda a round of applause for um making a fucking decisive hate piece on someone in the games industry have you caught on to this uh yeah uh what's his name
Starting point is 03:11:21 ritchie tello the fucking villain of no more heroes three is rickatello yeah and looks like john rickatello and heads up an evil business that is going to have space aliens ruin the world like john rickatello of e a former uh ceo of ea he's wearing the same colored sweater yeah dude uh suda's super mad about shadows of the damped and he should be yeah um but it's like i i think this is the first time anyone's ever been like here's my old boss he's the villain fuck him if you missed the um if you missed the the trailer we're talking about a game started up and it just appeared to be some wild ass thing that it looked like an old 80s cartoon that never came out no no it looked like old dungeons and dragons okay right it's the same type of like quality as those
Starting point is 03:12:21 cutscenes in blood dragon okay trials of the blood dragon and um yeah it just turned into this full on like pokemon start but then your pokemon leaves and comes back as a grown up fucking badass charizard like a fucking space villain from like one punch man and he's like hey ash i'm fucking back let's go let's take over the world and then the words god damn superhero yeah he goes what are you i'm a god damn superhero and this amazing hyper light drifter style fucking logo treatment comes up and you're like wow this looks go and then Travis breaks don't even and like the lead into getting there is like this kid finding a little alien and sneaking past a bunch of guards and it's like it's this whole thing you know and you're clearly seeing the makings of a a pokey digi
Starting point is 03:13:17 the what is it called 10 10 10 10 whatever the fuck the new thing you know it's okay it has been his little animal buddy and then yeah it takes a full on like five minutes of this thing happening and then it full and then fucking suddenly drops well actually the full trailer is longer than um yeah then the though and then Travis say i'm travis i'm gonna fight aliens and i'm like oh oh it's a full on five and a half minute fucking trailer it's so long this is a crazy fake out that it's so long and it's like i watched the long trailer and it got even madder at the end yeah because because ash grows up and he's sitting in the chair and he's like oh i have and he's waiting for the return and it's like and then travis touchdown and no more heroes is fucking cool
Starting point is 03:14:07 and i'm excited to have another one of those coming out but it's not as cool as what i thought god damn superhero was gonna be for that 10 seconds yeah yeah also your your your pikachu grew up and came back hot and really hot really really hot it came back fucking hot man the color like with a sense of fashion and a big old cape and it's all like just he's like it's slimy and squeezing all over the place oh man and it just it's just feeling itself and you're just like bro do i want to fuck my pokemon right now what's happening what's going on it's kind of crazy it's kind of crazy but yeah um god damn superhero please be a sizable portion of no more heroes please please don't just be one stage that'd be really disappointing
Starting point is 03:15:05 i like new ideas and clearly suit has got some fresh new ideas but people and i yeah but you know no more heroes three is a thing people want to yeah i don't know that title drop just being ripped away from but the last number here is announced it was super exciting when we saw it because it was a giant cool crazy mecha thing yeah so it looks like no more heroes three is going to be a million cool ideas smashing together but maybe none of them are going to get their full due i know i hate it i love it it's the death drive again it's just the death drive again that's all yeah all right well sad now yeah
Starting point is 03:15:57 there's gonna be there's gonna be a bunch of uh oh well anyway you know who else is sad jeff kealy until his his green day got up on the stage did you watch that thing and feel like jeff kealy was just skimming through shit he didn't care about to get to the good part which never happened jeff kealy seemed like tired of his own event that he hosted and set up and built are all of the bosses in the game going to be the goddamn superheroes that i believe they are but destroy man's there too okay
Starting point is 03:16:44 okay yeah man you know who the real winners the fucking tga were they were the muppets the goose yeah again akumi nakamura hold on wait so does that mean that the grown-up ash is the villain yeah he's the villain yeah so the game i want is the game where you're playing is him yeah and your and your your pokemon grows up to be that cool sexy alien wait well hold on rickatello and his demon f you are going to be fighting you you as travis touched yeah yes but like like john rickatello says fuck you like it's like it's really on the nose isn't it yes yes rickatello loves fuck you anyway also reddy was cool his speech was reddy was cool he had shades reddy's level of class
Starting point is 03:17:50 was way higher than the whole event did you see the side by side with the uh with the uh uh uh the walk yeah versus the the chat ninja i sorry the uh the version don't don't get it twisted no no like you see it the posture was actually actually resemblance yeah you see ninja try and save it where it was opening up the he was opening up the the the envelope he was like oh it's harder than i thought i didn't uh and he's like uh you know because he's like he's like you know poking a little fun at the incredible amount of stupid fucking shit he said lately hey you know how you announce a new console yeah with a game like hellblade 2 yeah absolutely uh uh the bub uh fucking what are they called what are they called what are they called ninja ninja ninja theory ninja theory ninja theory
Starting point is 03:18:47 sacrifice to say this is wcw send you a sacrifice uh send you a saga hellblade 2 from ninja theory is ninja theory uh finding their stride by becoming first party and good for them um i'm i'm done with that crazy ass trailer where she was doing that oh me oh yeah yeah shit that was to go yeah hope that game's good yep well the first one was yep was f of seven trailer excuse me sink to the music sink to the music is incredible like i think it was the klim hazard where he was going like slash slash slash that was like and each slash was on each beat that game's gonna be i like a good trailer sink to the music that game's gonna be great i mean and clearly it's like i we can see what parts are getting beef injections yeah which is uh everything before the pillar everything
Starting point is 03:19:49 turks is getting beef injected yeah they're i mean we've we said it before and i i actually went back and recently rewatched all the trailers they did two things that stood out to me one you can really fucking see when they jumped over from cyber connect to uh square internal like it's really really obvious one that switched over and two is like every scene that was even mentioned in passing is getting us a proper scene um my favorite part of that trailer is something that like barrett's barrett seemed like a little zany in the early things which is good because he's a fucking weirdo the defining moment of barrett's early character is him yelling at cloud net elevator going what do you mean you can't hear the planet
Starting point is 03:20:37 crying out in pain i know you do it's like what the fuck are you talking about you are a crazy man the worst version of like you know who people yeah their rocks and their spiritual shit and their magnets are usually like soft spoken and dancing and flowery and this loud angry mr t yeah is going full woo woo can't you feel the planet it's like no dude yeah yeah yeah what are you talking about fantastic and cloud just dead panning it's like i don't care um perfect also we talked about it a few times but we're just going to reiterate it with each trailer are brand new voice actors crushing it they're doing a great job and i understand the same appeal of wanting to go with new faces for star wars where you're like new talent you're not going to get
Starting point is 03:21:33 distracted by the name that you know the voice you've heard before you know i think that was that that was the part where it was like no one that we've heard so far is anyone huge correct i don't think so i think sephiroth might be returning it might be the nsync man um but uh i maybe maybe i'm thinking of max talking about it but i think max was saying is like yeah like the not going with mainly new talent is totally i'll write on point that's great that's fucking great um so that was awesome uh we saw godfall don't know what that is and there was no gameplay so what can we say gearbox is doing something it's so that's the thing i i was like oh this looks cool and that was a gearbox and then i rolled my eyes it's being published by gearbox it's being
Starting point is 03:22:20 developed by a completely separate company so like we saw a cutscene you know what was great they had they had gearbox employees up on the stage talking to people no randy's allowed yeah randy was not allowed to talk yeah yeah don't know what that's gonna be till we see some gameplay um it's a lacher loot slasher loot slasher lusher no it's a lacher people have already latched onto it and i saw some people talking about lusher's though these people are dumb um slas slas oh god fuck no you are not fuck it i'm done fucking things sucks uh a bunch of a bunch of legal legend stories yeah they're making a lot of games that they absolutely refuse to show you
Starting point is 03:23:15 does that mean a telltale style story one is a turn-based rpg and the other is a telltale okay so yeah uh ruins king in convergence uh we saw um gears tactics which is xcom for gears of war um humankind the patrice deserlet but no what am i talking about what are you talking about no humankind was not no no i'm thinking of um god i fucked it up with uh uh uh the the thing panache just put out there uh ancestors never mind what am i saying ancestors just came out apparently that game sucks does it yeah oh no i think i think the devs were like bitching about like nobody played the full game and it's like no no i i okay i did see that there was a bunch of bad reviews and then they came out and went yeah these reviewers didn't
Starting point is 03:24:09 really play it type of thing oh um which i'm you know that that's that would be the first time the the thing you're thinking of is the sega game that is obviously civilization humankind but you play as a dumbass that you character create instead of a famous historical figure sure uh man eater the shark game that looks a lot like those wacky ass jaws games it looks plague summed it up it looks amazing and terrible all in one well it looks like what you wanted those jaws games to be because it looks like a jaws game made by the team that made saints row yeah you can become an electric bio shark yes it's it is it is saints row uh jaws yeah wonderful beautiful perfect exciting
Starting point is 03:24:58 uh warframe imperian came out at the time and uh unlike the last update which people are kind of luke warm on everybody seems to love imperian it's the space one it's space i see a lot of space happening in this trailer so it's the railjack thing they showed off two years ago it's out but it's called imperian now okay um and it's very early it's work in progress so you're piloting that like that ship that's yeah like your hq and with with people and their manning guns and stuff like that okay also uh shout outs to that uh what's her name uh jojo mom rev ford yeah cool showed up you look great rev you dressed with stylin uh control got its uh it's dlc announcement for expeditions looks cool looks cool was also
Starting point is 03:25:48 really funny because like for like reggie for example who like didn't see what later look gameplay looks like and you she's just jet eye oh she's flying around the place you're like yeah this this just turns into crazy ass yeah the final power you unlock in that game is like crazy ass star wars you just goes it just goes wild yeah um so we had that uh there's prologue um wolf among us too we talked about fast and furious crossroads we talked about uh elder scrolls online yeah naraka blade point this looks like something i don't know what looks like a shitty chinese metal uh uh uh fucking for honor might not be shitty might be fun character actiony things maybe i saw that wall run you can't wall run in for honor no
Starting point is 03:26:42 but wall running does not a good game make devil may cry too not in and of itself certainly not but it makes me excited guns the dual oh my god you people with their fucking guns the dual fetish did you play it yeah it was fine it was fun it's like 20 years ago it was so fun the fuck over it where we are we have no choice but to be over it um yeah this might be fun man um you also do a cool zipline grapple onto a dude that goes into a command grab and it's like yay so yeah i don't know i don't know we'll see right there's nothing uncool that was shown in this trailer i don't know i don't know it just didn't didn't hit for me i thought it looked good i thought i liked what i saw big ol swinging spin bladey hammery fiery attack and chinese
Starting point is 03:27:27 mystical arts and tell you what um in this world of that alongside ghost of susheema i'm forgetting more and more about sekiro by the day a little bit go susheema not as powerful as the first trailer they showed well what do you even have to forget about sekiro you played that game seven times in a nine month span okay and what's what are you talking about i'm like of course you forgot about sekiro like that game's great but like okay i'm excited for these games that i'm talking about here i don't understand you made the comparison yes and i'm like your comparison is baffling because you played sekiro in a bizarre manner that destined it to being forgotten but the issues i was having with sekiro were based on
Starting point is 03:28:26 a lot of how these oh what were the issues because that never got to me okay well some of them were based on how the story was kind of coming together in a a bit of a like i kind of was like waiting to care sort of way but i am at a point in it now where it is true that it's like i'm at the last bits to at least get the bad ending so bad anything sucks yeah i guess i'll find out shortly but i mean for the most part i don't know what to tell you in terms of just like i had expectations for that game that might have been unfair of it coming from from soft yeah in terms of character customization and the abilities you'd have and that's ultimately something that i was hoping would you know be freed up by like your different weapon abilities
Starting point is 03:29:14 and the different things you'd unlock and then the way you unlock stuff on that thing was the most convoluted way and these things started to just kind of bug me over time so in the end regardless of the frequency the what i did play kind of left me with this like man i wish it was this other way and i don't think playing it faster or shorter or tighter would have made much of a difference there in the end i just kind of am like i still think the combat is super cool i love the posture system i'd love to see versions of that implemented in other ways and some of the funnest fights with like you know the old madame butterfly and the other enemies that are using their posture in a really tight way are great but there's so much happening around that that i was like i
Starting point is 03:30:04 wish it was a different way than the way it is all right and i don't think what you brought up has anything to do with those feelings i don't know maybe so that seems kind of unfair i will say though that if you're looking at ghost of sushima like in comparison like that game's probably going to be a lot more like infamous than anything because it's the infamous people perhaps right but looking back at the first trailer where we saw 11 minutes of gameplay which i watched right after this we saw like those we saw those combat sections and then we saw the stealth sections and then we and i just saw how like in addition to having like those elements there there was just all this fucking art injected into it that i was like god damn this thing is beautiful and i was
Starting point is 03:30:53 hoping we'd see another segment like that for this trailer but we didn't get it but i still think that based on how beautiful everything in that first trailer came together i'm really excited to see this quote-unquote cinematography of riding through the fields and then the the wind blowing and then having that duel and a lot of that looks gorgeous i'm really excited for that i just have the one thing with it now looking up close is the faces don't look great the faces have a kind of like quality to them that looks a little dated like early ps4 a little bit early on it a little bit i i don't know i was i i'm looking at that game and i'm sure it'll be good but i don't understand why people are impressed especially when they're comparing it to secarro i think
Starting point is 03:31:36 secarro is way more appealing visually like top to bottom i mean i get but like do you understand my my explanation though does that make sense yeah i i understand it and i completely disagree with you okay i think playing any game in that format would is going to take the wind right the fuck out of its sails regardless of its qualities i still identify parts that i enjoyed of it and parts that i wanted to be different that are what they are you know no what i'm saying is that the i believe that that the scheduling is going to exemplify the bad and minimize the good because like it's it's like a dwelling thing i mean the parts where that affects it the most i will say because it's definitely not optimal the most optimal thing is for me to buy the game
Starting point is 03:32:28 just sit down and play it obviously right um and that was definitely a case of me looking at it and going well how and when am i going to get around to this right because i had to be honest and say like if i don't do this on a stream for my saturday streams will i just put this off for an extremely long time for like two years and the answer was yes and uh in that time frame i probably would have ended up hearing about how uh it was not a full custom thing and how it was much more of a set i'd say it's like closer to like a old-ass ninja guiding game or attention right that type of bit and it would have been it would have become much more clear that it's like oh no this is not the next samurai souls you know what i mean it would have and then i and that would
Starting point is 03:33:16 have been like oh okay i was kind of hoping for that and things would have went a little differently but um but yeah just to explain why that went the way it did you know and i think that what would have been affected by that would have definitely been uh the sharpness to stay good and the ability to hit those bosses on subsequent turns more efficiently and learn their patterns and do better right um as well as uh you know perhaps the ability to connect plot threads though they're so they're pretty fucking all over the place the plot is you're not so you're not coming back i mean it's so if you're gonna say that if you paid if you played it more frequently you would have picked up on things more frequently i'll give you that possibly no no no i'm not i'm
Starting point is 03:34:00 not saying picked up on i'm just saying like the game has like a sense of flow yeah between areas and uh acclimating to it yeah that i cannot possibly imagine being like present in its like intended form with month-long gaps yeah so i and and i i definitely feel that like um uh the internalization of the map is something that for example gets hurt by that spread right probably the map's the worst i would say but i did not actually end up i had in my weird experience because min was sitting there uh he did go like oh yeah no what you're looking for was in this short cut i was like oh yeah right so a lot of that was minimized in that aspect yeah but there's a difference and it's not the same there's a yeah i'm not gonna say it's the same but i am saying
Starting point is 03:34:48 that's the way it played out right in terms of map memorization aspects um but those things i'm describing right there are not the things that ultimately kind of led to the first points i talked about was it the inability is it does it really break down to like like really couldn't pick what to do or like how to build my guy no no because i ended up having abilities that i liked more than others okay um it honestly is very nondescript i feel really weird defending a game that i didn't like as much as it sounds like i do yeah but like it also it looks like you get it from the start of that it looks like you came out shooting bullets and i'm like whoa whoa whoa whoa no it's just like like i like i walked away from the game awards going i can't
Starting point is 03:35:32 fucking believe sticker i won over literally any of the other nominees but like that game is great it's just like my gripe of it is all replay yeah so um for me it's more it's less discreet it's less specific than that in the sense that like i like i there's the things i mentioned there but what kind of happened was apathy just kind of slipped up on me you know and i remember being like the highest i remember the highs of the the best boss fight moments and i remember the lows of like going through the those upgrade chains and a couple other elements and um and at some point i kind of was just like you know that drive that push to want to just pop it back in it just kind of slipped up on me i just didn't have it anymore and i definitely wish that didn't happen but it
Starting point is 03:36:20 did it's almost like a feeling both put the the cart before the horse so it's more like if you hadn't been streaming it you just would have stopped playing it yes okay now it makes sense yes i would have dropped off playing like way earlier you know um that's i would uh so if you do continue playing it on or off camera i would recommend don't if you get the bad ending use save shenanigans to undo it i did i did okay um because all the coolest shit in the game is like at the end yeah which kind of sucks yeah i i i that i was told as well um but you know i and and this is one of those things where it's like it's harder to go into detail because it's just a feeling yeah you know what i mean and like if someone goes like you
Starting point is 03:37:11 fuck you your feelings invalid and i'm like i i wish it was but i still felt it you know and it's like it's your fault for how i streamed it well that's not affecting the parts that i wanted though you know um so in the end like i'm not gonna sit and try to fight it it's not a battle i'm really that invested in to be honest have you played the infamous games uh i played uh what did i play i did play a little bit of two okay um but but to just um finish off on Sekiro um i definitely will maintain that like its high points are fucking great and i thoroughly enjoyed those so like coming into it going like saying i hate the game is completely inaccurate because i sure as fuck i didn't say that i'd never say i'd never say that right if no just
Starting point is 03:38:09 you know i want to clarify okay that anybody who i often say things that get misinterpreted so i really like i'm important i'm all about clarity in this instance i don't want that to be taken the takeaway from it because i didn't you watched me marking out over some of those boss fights that were fucking you got to the ape right i got to the ape okay because that's that's like you know um i loved a lot a bunch of those and the defensive mechanics i'm all about that shit you know so i don't want to pretend my highs weren't my highs but at some point i would have bounced off i'm not bounced off i would have faded out you know bounced off implies you never get in this i did get in but like i wanted other things and then at some point i just wouldn't
Starting point is 03:38:50 have popped it back in yeah okay that's about it still fucking crime that that game won the fucking game of the game of the year it's kind of wild kind of wild that it was you see the interview with uh miyazaki when she's like i'm really surprised we won game of the year it's like i'm you know what it feels like it feels like the oscar apology for bloodborne well at the time i was saying elden ring or feed so yeah that's where i'm at where's elden ring at it's my new threat by the way yeah yeah if you don't give me what i want i will feed i'm gonna feed it's my new favorite threat i love how depending on what somebody's knowledge of mobas is that that that fucking threat inverts itself uh well min like just looked
Starting point is 03:39:49 at me and went dude i've been making these jokes for years i don't get what's so funny about the i don't like they're new it's new to me damn it if you haven't seen it it's new to you this joke is literally 10 years old and you're acting like you discovered fire but fuck it i'm also i'm also as far as you can get from understanding the concept of feeding and leashing which we're thoroughly actually explain yes actually i do appreciate it but nonetheless i just think the word is hilarious and using it in a threatening context is i swear to god i will fucking feed anyway a lot of magic the gathering stuff god holy shit did they fucking push it like wow magic's got a lot of money to throw around hearthstone's weak right now do it magic and uh yeah
Starting point is 03:40:38 and big expensive trailers yeah where we saw someone horribly drowned it's kind of kind of fucked yeah like i don't like that ooh that's a hey you want to talk about expensive trailers that fucking dungeons and dragons game uh how expensive was it not enough i mean i was like i was i was rubbing like i'm like something is wrong what's happening here and like the guy i forgot whether it was regimen just like what were you talking about and i'm like wait hold on no this has to be this is vr right no the reason why their limbs look all wonky and weird is because it's a vr helmet right attached go pros to the cg characters and then you're seeing up close how badly animated their bodies and arms are it's one of the worst
Starting point is 03:41:29 trailers i've ever seen why would you put that camera on something that was poorly animated i bet the animations look fine it's just because they're headlocked everything was so bad it is it is so fucking i've seen that style work it looked great in requiem for a dream with humans yes yeah but seeing fucking you know like weird ass orc swords and oh man it like also i was like is that drizzed and it actually was yeah it is it is it was drizzed that's crazy i was i was i was drizzed as crew man i was just making a hey there's a drizz and i was like no that's actually drizzed well you saw weird west yeah sure looks good looks like something interesting top view zoomed out i'm like this is either going to be a hotline
Starting point is 03:42:19 miami or um or a disco elysium yeah or something in between and it's still unclear yeah so long clear we need to see a gun get shot and then we'll know well there is a gun getting shot but it's unclear whether that was a turn being taken or a story event or a button being pressed but weird west seems interesting and devolver's doing what it does uh got some apex stuff sends of the forest had a nice creepy model in it uh that was the the ballerina monster i'm shocked that's the the forest is getting like a direct canonical sequel but it does make sense oh is this a sequel to something to the forest hmm do you remember that survival game where you're in a plane crash and you and there you're in a forest and you have to build because there's weird faces
Starting point is 03:43:11 cannibals i don't okay it's a sequel to that well i was properly weirded out by the visuals that game has a fucking super crazy ending yeah is it a first person it is a first person game so when it cuts the first person in this trailer that's going to be game totally okay um it that game has a super crazy ending that actually totally totally plays into this directly as son of the forest um this will probably be cool um yeah mutant cannibals with the wrong number of limbs is that games claim yeah yeah nice uh nice fun um monster design on that trailer and the way the title appears is like another movie that came out some time ago but i don't know what it is when it's like sons of the forest it's like a thing that feels tarantino ish ah yes it does
Starting point is 03:44:05 it does but i don't know which or what but if someone will tell you later yeah it's it's it's absolutely activating all that in my brain and that's pretty much it yeah it was fucking boring that's pretty much it it's fucking weak hey you ready for the wallet apocalypse from march 3rd to april 5th or whatever the fuck it is 35 fucking games coming out in a in a fucking 40 day span and camea was there yeah but you couldn't see him because he blocked the camera rocko was there sitting in a row by himself
Starting point is 03:44:50 todd howard was seen in the back in a crowd shot sitting there contemplative trying to sell skyrim to people around him readus was having a blast yeah not knowing he's readus is very much like he had to in just i don't know what the fuck is going on readus is like 55 man i'm here for it what's going on yeah Elon musk yes desperately trying to get a standing ovation for his girlfriend maximum awkward nah for for him he wasn't you maximum awkward musk fuck a fucking kicks in and a camera cuts over and he's like do i stand i'll sit i'll sit no i he's trying to get up standing ovation because he's dating the singer crimes but when it cut
Starting point is 03:45:35 to him i thought he was standing up clapping and he tried to get everyone around him stand that's why yukumi nakamura who's standing next sitting next to him stood up as well i thought he was standing up to be like hey it's me no and that's why he sat down and then stood up again and tried to and he was doing i thought he was just i thought he shrugged and whatnot just out of being like you know when they cut to like and we got rodney danger field in the audience and he's like hey folks how's that going hey and then he sits back down i thought it was one of those nah it was you know i i because he was doing this part he was doing like the thing with his hands did he yeah even motion to yukumi to stand up it was and she didn't notice that it was him at the time
Starting point is 03:46:17 and she asked him for a car later i don't know if she'll get it are you sure it was a police clap i don't know if it was a police felt like a police i didn't feel like a police clap to me to me it felt like a hey it's me i don't know i fucking hate elon musk so whatever i can't stand him in his stupid fucking baby car that's cool i hope we get to space i hope we get electric cars and i hope we get tunnels under i can't wait i mean we do we literally have electric cars we had electric cars before fucking elon musk but i hope we have like a lot more of them i mean yeah and that that's gonna happen with her without him and that the gas fuckery goes away okay that's not gonna happen i know but that would be good though it'd be good if the gas fuckery went away
Starting point is 03:46:55 because then we could stop anyway you shut your mouth if you want to keep being on this fucking car yeah gotta go to that country do stuff over there or you know plug it in but whatever we need to shut the fuck up about the gas stuff because i can't do this podcast by myself yeah yeah say like and then woolly was disappeared i just hope the tech that he's making happens i i want i want that stuff to exist like and work mm-hmm it'd be pretty fucking cool if it did it might all be bullshit i hope it turns out to be okay or someone comes along and uses that and does it competently and makes it actually like fucking i want future earth i know so i have my i'm i'm i'm look i want initiatives towards
Starting point is 03:47:53 future earth to happen uh-huh that's that's that's about the end of my thought i have no follow-up thoughts for you i'm sorry yeah that's that's about it all right let's move on yes regardless of whatever you know if you see a if you could get a jet pack yeah that worked in your fantasy version of a jet pack yeah but you had to stab me right now how many times oh right moving on we got emails this week single digits we got emails castle super beast mail at gmail.com email might sound pretty good if it's a good one but if it's bad it'll sound bad so think about it when you write it in don't write a dumb email uncle dude sauce from texas says i'm on my second
Starting point is 03:48:56 playthrough of astral chain and i wanted to discuss something about the genre hit me i agree that the levels in the game are a bit too long for platinum revisiting the story again gets you to areas you couldn't access is way too much to get to areas you couldn't access earlier is way too much of a hassle and i don't think it would have been fixed by making the level shorter or making no and i think it would have been fixed by making the level shorter or making the game open world from the start this is why both near and near automata had a better narrative to their stories because they were open world games where you didn't have to replay segments to get to unreached areas or fight hidden bosses to get to some rare items okay on my first playthrough i could easily feel that
Starting point is 03:49:29 this game was meant to be an open world game like near but due to the switches power they probably had to tone it down due to long lengthy levels instead okay so there's more all right all right while i did enjoy the game and definitely could you it definitely could use some improvements and it's not as good as platinum's better games like bayo and automata uh if the game did does not get a sequel i hope platinum and kimia can keep these things in mind and i hope uh bayo 3 becomes a better bayo 1 and 2 because it worked for dmc 5 uh looking back what are your thoughts okay that everything like so much in that email is nonsense assumptions the reason why near and near automata had better narratives is because yoko taro wrote them period like the the fucking level design
Starting point is 03:50:17 fucking like whatever if yoko taro had written astro chain it would have been the fucking fucking shit but story wise i agree that if it was an open world game i would have liked it more yeah probably i don't think has anything to do with the switch though you could have had a for whatever reasons it wasn't an open world game i think it would have been a better game if it was open world sure yeah i agree with that apparently that's what elton ring is oh that's good it's an open world souls game but well i was zelda good good good um also in order to get all the endings in near you had to beat the game four times sorry three times maybe four times abcd abc sorry ab and then cnd would split but you'd have to play through the beginning yeah also if you wanted to play
Starting point is 03:51:12 through near automata the first two playthroughs are near identical but but yeah yeah like the the whole like replaying levels but the other ones are all just like wacky non and like they the credits roll but no but i'm saying like in the original near like you have to go through that early part again like you don't because you use a save game and you just fucking load it back up but it definitely makes the um the end part where you gotta do uh your your uh replay yeah really that's a menu that's a menu that's a convoluted because it's like the the state of the world and access to certain missions comes and goes so it's a very it's a complex timeline to manage when you have to go back through things but i i still do think uh games like astral chain for
Starting point is 03:51:57 how the maps were laid out like just letting you go to those places and do some of those it felt like a game made on now it's like they there were very few areas in that game total like that that first area the big city area you go back act there over and over you go back to the city a couple times and you go back then there's the other big city yeah uh the first area big city is not the same as the second big city uh plus there's the slums then there's the outside the the the grid slums yeah uh then there's the big ol factory ass area and then the hospital um there's there's actually there's there's a decent amount of giant areas yeah and that big ol downtown one is huge yeah it is it's gigantic you know so um i just i feel like a lot of astral chains problems would have been
Starting point is 03:52:52 fixed with more granularity in the checkpoints like you can skip to this verse in this verse but some of those verses are like half an hour long well here's what i learned um i love an open ass open world or a hallway and very little in between and the the when you lean one or the other it can get weird it can get a bit hard when you when you don't yeah because when it's open but then it closes you're like wait this is open why would it close and then vice versa yeah right um yeah all right uh we got one here from uh james he says simple question if uh marvel four had sick remixes uh of on the level of marvel three should nero have never surrender or devil trigger this is independent on his default costume hey if you pick him in teppen right now it plays
Starting point is 03:53:51 the devil trigger but it doesn't play the fucking crazy fucked up devil trigger no it plays like an instrumental yeah it should be devil trigger yeah that that replaces never surrender yeah devil trigger played when uh fucking it's no sound went up to get his award yeah um the theme of devil my cry is now devil trigger the theme of dante is is not lock and load right the better song becomes the new song you're right come on i like lock and load a lot i know you do but that's why i liked it i because you have to acknowledge the truth yeah yeah you're right all right subhuman uh vince says they're metalenders from beyond yeah recently i've embarked on my
Starting point is 03:54:40 20th or so playthrough of mgs one and the plot hole was staring me in the face for years during the guard shootout with merrill on the jail cell uh if you try to contact master miller you will receive a no response message the implication is liquid is busy at the moment with oscelot torturing the darpa chief right upon this realization i had questions do they all just hear the shootout happening do they just ignore it what was in their plan what was their plan of snake managed to see them why did those guards keep running into math en masse into what was certain death after the first couple waves died handily that torture room has one door where did oscelot go that he reached kenneth baker before i do why were their bodies not showing up in the torture room on
Starting point is 03:55:18 the soliton radar when i initially passed through these are all questions i asked myself but my question to you is have you ever had a piece of media that you've experienced many times over suddenly create plot holes you've never considered oh totally all the time metal gear is rife with them go about replay metal gear one with the knowledge of what oscelot's real plan is and fucking start to go crazy with how little of that game makes sense bunch of those first questions are iffy but the last few are definitely like shut up though um in particular the door with the darpa chief have having one point of entry is also kind of like hmm didn't it was it was oscelot's master plan shut up that's the answer that is actually the legit answer
Starting point is 03:56:04 did oscelot just hear the shots and ignore it yes because it was his part of his master plan he used the inner coffin like oscelot and like mgs one and mgs two comes off like a fucking moron slash psycho person because like it was apparently his plan to get his arm cut off like and then it was his plan to get absorbed by a ghost those games have to be played in release order and if you play them chronologically you're a fool dear low punch and tank controls so man i recently had to take as make a series of presentations where i recorded myself walking through powerpoint part of quality control i
Starting point is 03:56:54 went back to listen to my recordings and i couldn't help but feel uncomfortable at the way i sounded yep how was it hearing your voice through a recording did you ever get used to how you sound it takes uh takes a couple years takes a couple years i was just telling reggie the same thing not long ago oh yeah he's having it the weirdness of hearing your own voice is gonna take a while to get used to and you usually think you sound a lot deeper voice than you do yeah so when you have the headphones on the the deep bass that you're hearing in your head normally is removed and you hear the actual sound people hear and it's higher pitched and weird yep and you literally need years of hearing this to get used to it yeah um the reason for that is because
Starting point is 03:57:35 you the the what do you what you would call it would like the intuitive sense of how you're hearing your own voice is your voice comes out your mouth and is in the air or whatever and then goes in your ears but that's not how it works but it's also mixed with the vibration of your skull because it's much faster for the vibration of your mouth to travel through your head yes into your ears from the opposite side which because it's traveling through your fucking head it's deeper yes because it's got a medium to transfer through yes um your voice on mic is way less cool than your voice in your head yep and it takes like three four years before it stops be becoming like uncomfortable um there is a lot of really bizarre stuff with speech and people's reaction to it
Starting point is 03:58:27 um hearing half of a phone conversation is incredibly disorienting because your brain keeps trying to fill in the blanks but can't uh hearing your own voice at a different pitch is unnerving a phone is all weird because they it slides you into yeah middle band the nearest band i'm talking like overhearing somebody else talk on the phone yeah um hearing your own voice at a lower at a higher pitch is unnerving because it it's what it's supposed to sound like but it's wrong and the one that's really bad is that uh if oh god this is part of some crowd controlling initiative i think was funded by the u.s government or it's a it's a fucking thing that will just repeat back to you what you said slightly delayed slightly delayed fucks you up and it's so disorienting
Starting point is 03:59:20 that it makes people unable to speak yeah yeah that's wake oh shit yep totally um um takes a while last one we'll take from agave he says hey castle super yeast recently found a strange website related to the dot hack franchise and ended up diving into a three-year a year old a rg uh to hype up some old dot hack announcement on christmas the year of a complete with a countdown timing timer my question is what is the weirdest online rabbit hole you found yourself going into and checking out didge versus real okay so uh that was the f podcast right uh no i knew about that before the f plus podcast plus but i mean if this is your kind of
Starting point is 04:00:02 thing you got down the rabbit hole and you got the f plus podcast all right as good recommends so uh there's a bunch but i'm just going to grab two because these are two from recent memory and i love when this kind of thing happens i was uh after staff finished ava i was uh we were talking plot points and i wanted to pull some stuff up to explain about what happened yeah and i just googled yui ikari uh-huh to go to her wiki and be like what's what what is the actual timeline of events and the second google result led to a wiki page for yui ikari uh which i'm going to pull up over here and see if uh i can read to you what appears to be a pretty standard source of information on who shinji's mom was this is slightly unnerving the way you're setting this
Starting point is 04:01:00 up yui ikari is the wife of gendo ikari and the mother of shinji ikari she was born to the prominent researcher of the hoenn region and eventually moved to seno to work under dr nakana maddo her primary field of study was the evolution of pokemon and specifically why legendary pokemon do not evolve all right and like i i i didn't i was just scrolling past the the top part because i was like okay whatever let me look for what i'm looking for in terms of history okay and so i'm scrolling down past all that shit um that's okay and then i get to and i get to what they're talking about where they they start going into her having access to resources and uh going to gyms and challenging gym leaders and and and fuyutsuki is involved all right on her research in seno okay and then
Starting point is 04:02:04 you scroll down and then you get to all these chapters uh where for example we start with childhood college days family research in seno disappearance at mount tengan and then as dialga and paul kia all right so her soul becomes divided into dialga and paul kia of course in the moonverse of course of course you can then decide if you wish after detecting something being wrong to click on any of the other tabs at the top of this wiki which then go into other pokemon i bet worlds i fucking bet and characters uh for example uh the characters from the callos region such as edward elrich alphonse roi mustang and hoenheim or you know we can keep it over in uh joto where we've got people like lucas cantrell and claus cantrell i don't even know who
Starting point is 04:03:15 those people are pretty sure it's mother so yeah i hate you fan fiction people the fucking what it's so yeah yeah and then there's timelines and characters all right that's enough please god god damn it fine fine and there was a second time this happened and this was a little further back and i think it was in the midst of some kind of sonic hole i don't know when or why or what but i need sonic hole is about right i needed information about dr robotnik you did egg man i need this information so i decided to search for egg man wiki yeah into google and i got linked to uh what i thought was a pretty standard page about dr egg man you be careful throwing that up on the screen you're talking about the sonic shit it's it's just it's just a wiki with dr egg man okay and it talks
Starting point is 04:04:17 about how you know he's one of the primary antagonists and so on and so forth um and you you scroll down and it goes into like stuff like mecca sally and and scourge the hedgehog and dimensional wars and you're like okay and then the words rosalina and midna are like there it is yeah there it is there it is there it is okay and you're like what are we what are we what are we doing here why are these people a part of what's going what is this and you're like oh fuck me i didn't click on a smash brothers wiki i clicked on a smash brothers crossover wiki yes it is uh at which point i went wait what the fuck is smash brothers crossover let's go back to the main page i hate this and figure out what the hell this is shall we and so you go to the main page
Starting point is 04:05:05 where it talks about how the heroes the heroes of many franchises have united in a war uh against the villains to prevent an apocalypse from befalling the earth as the shy guys of icicle mountain and psychokirby predicted in season 12 yami bakura was revealed to be the mastermind behind the apocalypse however it is revealed in season 23 that core daegon is the true mastermind behind the apocalypse at the end of season 25's first arc the multiverse is reset by drago but he dies as a result of the heroes being scattered and it just goes and i'm like the fuck okay wait season one is called plot and it just has a paragraph for every season right and then you break it down and you start going through mario luigi wario and of course the covenants uh who
Starting point is 04:06:00 are invading the mushroom kingdom uh very scary uh you you roll your your mouse down a little bit more and you roll past metanite wait did you just say the covenants i did you roll your mouse down and you move past psychokirby cut um halo's not even in smash brothers you roll past psychokirby and uh you eventually start hitting like season 14 and 15 where ganondorf sephiroth meccosonic and zombie reed are all launching their final assaults and you're like okay sure and then you keep scrolling and you hit like season 25 first arc um and and and and and it's getting a little bit lost in the weeds but you can keep going as we talk about the mecca mecca vias destroyer and the heroes of legend um the revolutionaries and galactonite masterhand of course as expected
Starting point is 04:07:02 and then you hit season 39 and season 39 is where the justice league unlimited's trust is being strained with the heroes of legend and of course it's up to batman superman zero sonic dot exe and wolverine to save the heroes of legend and put an end to the revolutionaries ambitions once and for all by the time you hit season 40 new world it goes after ultron is defeated the heroes of legend are set to face the tremendous threat they've never seen chancellor palpatine transforms the entire smash bros galaxy into the galactic empire will the heroes of legend in justice league unlimited stop the reign of palpatine the galaxy will be or will the galaxy be in the iron hands of the emperor i just wanted to know about dr eggman you know it really fell
Starting point is 04:08:00 off after season 19 that's kind of the problem yeah i know it's just it was never the same unfortunately it always amazes me how much the worst writers can write well when you're a kid and you thought up all those cool worlds with your toys right you didn't have what if you were 40 or had access to the internet and could write out all of these ideas forever and keep them going for the rest of your life it's fanfiction of this nature the equivalent of people who draw like superman or sonic or an anime character and then become proper artists but they don't but if you turn out to be like kevin smith and then you have the whatever his verse is called the um it does a name for it marat's
Starting point is 04:09:01 verse no there's another word for it kevin kevin smith i forget the land but it all works out right it all works out when the end result is hey i did it it happened i have my own universe everybody loves it view a skew the view a skew universe so you all do you bank chapters one through 49 on the idea that maybe at some point this is all going to happen and it'll be real once the legit final product comes out especially when the pieces of chess that you've been playing with are all taken from other existing properties well see here's the thing there is at least one example of this happening and being turned into fucking bank and that's twilight of course all they had to do and 50 shades of gray and undertale well no
Starting point is 04:10:04 twilight i became 50 like that's what i'm talking about like twilight's not fanfiction like twilight fanfiction became 50 shades of gray and then monies isn't twilight fanfiction well i mean yeah but i mean we're talking about quality yeah absolutely um that robber patents and shit is hilarious um but yeah 50 shades of gray is literally fanfiction with the names changed and the word vampire removed yeah so but how do you remove psycho curbie that's an emperor palpatine you gotta be really creative something that i'm sure that somebody who made a story with all unoriginal characters is just they have all that creativity stored up they're ready they're ready to just rename those characters into slightly slightly different ones remember when
Starting point is 04:11:03 you saw the cool thing i do and then you were like but wait wouldn't it be cooler if yes i do i do remember that but then and then you made it happen and then now it's yours no that's the part i don't remember no it's yours now it's mine yep okay if you are p in your own secret email thread with your friends it's yours now they don't own it anymore there are some fucking tumblr post screenshot floating around which was like please stop posting images of you with ash from fire emblem my friend katelyn ships herself with ash and thinks he is cheating on her and cries every time she sees your photos oh well that's mean and i'm like there's a lot of people out there poor katelyn don't do that there's a lot of people out there with a tenuous grasp on the real
Starting point is 04:12:03 don't don't don't fucking don't take katelyn's man that's her man's first of all ash is a bitch second of all listen if anyone out there has the audacity to train themselves a reshoram so that they can love each other forever and call it their own that's right they can fuck off yeah reshoram has one partner and one partner only that's right and you don't have the fucking gall they love each other god damn it and you will not step between them how dare you how fucking dare you somehow knew we would end up here today i somehow knew dig them up find those email threads find those rp yeah that's the new a that's the new way copyright's
